Our Plan
Welcome to
We are a small, not for profit organisation that provides low-interest loans to some of the poorest people in Bali, Indonesia.
The region is one of the most beautiful in Bali, but is also one of the poorest.
We work out of a region that is commonly known as Amed. It's actually a string of around seven villages that stretch along a spectacular coastline of bays and inlets, hugged by rugged mountains and valleys. These villages include Amed, Jemeluk, Bututan, Linah, Selang, Banyuning and Aas.
Tourism is very new to the Amed Region and foreign owned resorts and dive operations have sprung up all along the coastline. Although it's considered a relatively quiet place, the region is becoming well known for its reefs and wreck dives.

5 Worst Super Bowl Halftime Shows Ever
PORTLAND, Ore. (TheStreet) -- If you're a U.S. television viewer 22 or younger, you've never known a low-budget Super Bowl halftime show.
That hasn't always been a good thing.
Before 1992, the Super Bowl halftime show was exactly that: A little show put on to fill the time between the game's halves. Until 1990, that show usually consisted of marching bands, pre-Glee chorus groups and the occasional tune from Carole Channing, George Burns, Andy Williams and other notables from yesteryear. It was inoffensive, it was mildly entertaining and typically didn't get a whole lot of lip service at the water cooler the next day.
That all changed after Super Bowl XXVI in 1992. A company called Timberline Productions decided to celebrate the host city of Minneapolis and the Olympic year by saddling CBS with a halftime show featuring a figure skating performance from Brian Boitano and Dorothy Hamill and exactly two songs from easy-listening powerhouse Gloria Estefan. Keep in mind that figure skating and its non-contact, painstakingly judged format are not only the polar opposite of football, but perhaps the one event that the most die-hard football fans would go out of their way to avoid.
The NFL, its network partners and its sponsors didn't see it that way. They not only had the hubris to believe that viewers would tune in to any grade-school talent show they put on just because it was sandwiched by the Super Bowl, but continually tested viewers' patience by keeping pop acts to a two-song limit or eliminating them all together. Upstart network Fox saw this and just knew that the NFL was lulling the prized 18- to 49-year-old demographic into a near coma. For the 1992 Super Bowl, Fox put together a special halftime edition its sketch comedy show In Living Color. The show that gave the world Jim Carrey, David Alan Grier, Jennifer Lopez and the entire Wayans family not only held its own against Gloria Estefan On Ice, but drew more than 20 million viewers away from a Super Bowl telecast that averaged 80 million viewers throughout. That's one in four viewers who abandoned CBS for something, anything, that didn't involve a triple axel or Live For Loving You. The NFL vowed to never have itself or its network partners humiliated in such fashion again and immediately booked Michael Jackson as the halftime act for NBC's Super Bowl XXVII coverage in 1993. The result: Those who saw it remember Jackson's set and the big audience card trick, but don't recall that it was O.J. Simpson who conducted the ceremonial coin toss little more than a year before his arrest in the killings of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. That blockbuster approach to the Super Bowl halftime show has paid off mightily. Beyonce and a reunited Destiny's Child pulled in about 104 million viewers last year. That was the second-best Super Bowl halftime viewership of all time, trailing only the 114 million who Madonna drew a year earlier. The league and its partners haven't hit the mark every time, though. We took a look back through 48 years of halftime shows, and while we couldn't find fault the marching bands -- because you wish you were lucky enough to have the NFL throw you a modern, awesome marching band -- there were a whole lot of other misguided attempts at holding an audience.

A lot has been written, is being written, and will be written about the Red Sox and Dodgers trade that sends Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett, Carl Crawford, Nick Punto and $12 million to Los Angeles in exchange for James Loney, Rubby De La Rosa, Allen Webster, Jerry Sands and Ivan De Jesus going to Boston. It's both literally and figuratively a very big deal.
There are several areas at which our interest might be directed:
- The amount of talent being acquired by the Dodgers.
- The amount of prospective talent being acquired by the Red Sox.
- Boston essentially resetting the the direction that the team was heading.
- Los Angeles embracing its role as the Yankees of the Pacific Coast.
While the Dodgers bolstering their roster – with only the San Francisco Giants ahead of them in the National League West – and the Red Sox improving their organizational depth – by embracing a rare mid-season rebuilding philosophy – are fascinating ways of looking at this trade, I'm far more interested by the implications created by a baseball team exhibiting a willingness to embrace more than $270 million in payroll commitments that another is willing to shed.
This is a game changer. In acquiring these contracted players from the Boston Red Sox, the Los Angeles Dodgers are saying one of two things: Either 1) We believe that Gonzalez, Beckett, Crawford, and Punto will give us more value on the money that's already been committed to them than we would find on the free agent market this off season (with the additional bonus of immediate improvement ahead of a potential playoff run this year); or 2) We've got such a willingness to spend the money coming our way when we sign a contract for broadcast rights to a regional television sports network that the model by which we currently judge value and worth of players is about to be drastically altered – flags fly forever.
Let's find out which statement the Dodgers are making with this deal first by looking at the current model and what the players coming to Los Angeles must be able to produce after this season to make this trade worthwhile. We'll accomplish this by examining every contract that is being picked up here and assuming ta $5.5 million cost of one win above replacement in 2013, 5% inflation, and a 0.5 WAR decline each year for a player in his thirties.
Adrian Gonzalez: 6 years/$133 million. Anticipates 20.5 total WAR. Views player as 4.7 WAR true talent.
2013 – $21 million salary - $5.50 M $/WAR – Paying for 3.8 WAR – Anticipating 4.7 WAR
2014 – $21 million salary - $5.78 M $/WAR – Paying for 3.6 WAR – Anticipating 4.2 WAR
2015 – $21 million salary - $6.06 M $/WAR – Paying for 3.5 WAR – Anticipating 3.7 WAR
2016 – $21 million salary - $6.37 M $/WAR – Paying for 3.3 WAR – Anticipating 3.2 WAR
2017 – $21.5 million salary - $6.69 M $/WAR – Paying for 3.2 WAR – Anticipating 2.7 WAR
2018 – $21.5 million salary - $7.02 M $/WAR – Paying for 3.1 WAR – Anticipating 2.2 WAR
Carl Crawford: 5 years/$108.5 million. Anticipates 17 total WAR. Views player as 4.4 WAR true talent.
2013 – $20 million salary - $5.50 M $/WAR – Paying for 3.6 WAR – Anticipating 4.4 WAR
2014 – $20.25 million salary - $5.78 M $/WAR – Paying for 3.5 WAR – Anticipating 3.9 WAR
2015 – $20.5 million salary - $6.06 M $/WAR – Paying for 3.4 WAR – Anticipating 3.4 WAR
2016 – $20.75 million salary - $6.37 M $/WAR – Paying for 3.3 WAR – Anticipating 2.9 WAR
2017 – $21 million salary - $6.69 M $/WAR – Paying for 3.1 WAR – Anticipating 2.4 WAR
Josh Beckett: 2 years/$31.5 million. Anticipates 5.5 total WAR. Views player as 3 WAR true talent.
2013 – $15.75 million salary - $5.50 M $/WAR – Paying for 2.9 WAR – Anticipating 3.0 WAR
2014 – $15.75 million salary - $5.78 M $/WAR – Paying for 2.7 WAR – Anticipating 2.5 WAR
Nick Punto: 1 year/$1.5 million. Anticipates 0.3 total WAR. Views player as 0.3 WAR true talent.
2013 - $1.5 million salary - $5.50 M $/WAR – Paying for 0.3 WAR – Anticipating 0.3 WAR
Overall, the Dodgers would anticipate approximately 40 wins above replacement from these players if they were going by the current model, minus two wins that the financial considerations that the Red Sox are paying should cover. That only seems ridiculous in that it's largely dependent on the performance of Carl Crawford. His first two seasons in Boston were a nightmare and now he faces a six month rehab from Tommy John surgery before he plays baseball again. The contracts that the Dodgers picked up on Gonzalez and Beckett appear to be reasonable for the amount of production we might expect from them, as they're currently paid an amount that their true talent level, in looking back at their past three seasons, suggests they deserve.
Of course, the loss of potential value in the players that were sent the other way should be tallied onto this, but there should also be some recognition of the Dodgers' current place in the standings and their proximity to playoff baseball. If we cancel those factors out, and focus only on the financial aspect of the deal, the reward in this case is that the former Boston Red Sox players provide the value that they're being paid to provide. The major risk is that Carl Crawford does not. In other words, the risk simply doesn't match the reward.
So, what we're left with is something in between the two statements I suggested that the Dodgers might be making with this deal. A best case scenario would likely be the money spent merely equalling the production. To me, that suggests that Los Angeles and their current situation, in terms of both finances and standings, isn't too concerned with overpaying for talent. However, it's not as if they went about the acquisition of these players in a reckless enough manner to suggest that they've turned the system on its head.
This is merely how a big market team should be behaving. They're spending a lot of money, but spending like this isn't foolish if you can afford it. If anything, I see the Dodgers as being quite clever in noticing how far luck and randomization had conspired to take them in the early-going of the season, and now they've prepared their roster in a fashion for which they can make their own good luck. For the first time in a long-time, Los Angeles is being well-managed, and while that might strike fear in the front offices of other teams, it's not doing the same to those teams' ownership groups … at least, not yet.

Some times it happens that you forgot the password of your memory card (MMC, micro SD) and you have lots of your important data in it. and You struggle to get back your password. Right? Today am going to show you how you can recover the lost password of your memory card with the help of nokia phone.
It is possible only if you have Nokia's s60 phone (eg: 6600, 6610, N70,N73,E63,E71,N95)
The thing you got to do is download and install "Fileexplorer" software.
After installing follow the steps:
1. Open FExplorer and access the c: drive.
2. There u will find a file named 'mmcstore'
3. Rename the file to: 'mmcstore.txt'
4. The file will now open in notepad
5. U will get your password written in the notepad file
Note #1: I think only few s60 phones have microSD slots. so you got to get a MMC adapter (costs around Rs.50). fit your microSD card in it and insert the MMC in your phone.
Note #2: If you Just want to format your card (without recovery of data), then just get a microSD card reader and format it.
What Else you can do with FExplorer??
How to reset the operator logo :
1) go to the following dir :
2) delete any file in this directory
3) restart the phone
To make a screenshot on a Nokia 3650, 6600 :

Psssst. Hey.
Hey, you. Yeah, you. Come over here real quick.
My buddy Richard Hamilton's got a line on a Thanksgiving hookup and he wants to know if you want in. Don't worry about where it came from. He knows a guy, that's all I can say.
I can also say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone living in the States. It's the best holiday, so things will be pretty slow around here for the next couple of days. The weekly show is still on because Canadian Thanksgiving was a month ago, but other than that, not much will be happening until Monday.
Be safe. Wear loose pants. And if Rip seems antsy, it's only because he's drank so many Cherry Pepsis that he can barely stand still.
Have a good one.

Hello Folks,
We all know that grounding seems to be a rather difficult area to address and determine proper technique.
Without dealing with every minute detail, in general, I am looking for opinions regarding the following...
System setup:
Pole mounted array with negative lead grounded to ground rod next to pole.
Interior system componets (inverter, controller, etc.) bonded to battery negative lead and equipment ground with separete system ground rod at home structure.
The question;
Should the array ground rod be electrically connected (with cable lead of same gauge) to the other, system ground rod at house structure?
Should structure rod be eliminated?
Is individual rods ok?
Will two rods increase or decrease chances of lightning strike reaching componets?
My first inclination is that the rods should be connected, but I have read so many articles and "Code Corners" about grounding, i'm somewhat confused. Any ideas/suggestions?

For the girls, Dudley said it was a great district meet with several to advance in many events. "Had a great meet, and we advanced everybody we expected and with a few additions," Dudley said. "Still, there is room for improvement. We have a couple of young ladies who just need to step up their effort and know that their team depends on them. "
Dudley said every meet, here on out, is crucial and this week's region meet will be very intense from the moment go. "The main thing that matters is being top four in your respective event and advancing to the next week," he said.
With the boys Dudley said the same thing goes with the importance of finishing in the top four.
"The boys had a great meet and advanced everyone with a couple of surprises," Dudley said. "We just have to stay focused and keep working to the ultimate goal."

I'm 4 batches into making all grain and I'm starting to make some darn fine beer, even if I say so myself. For now I'm trying to perfect an IPA before I move onto other styles (only because it's the style I'm most familiar with). However I cannot get any noticeable aroma from dry hopping. Last time I threw in 4 oz into the secondary (5 gallon batch). Here's my method: - Primary 10 to 14 days + cold crash 3. - Move to secondary, add gelatin + dry hop (pellets). 10 days then cold crash for 3. Bottle. Wait 3 weeks, chill for 1 week. Drink. This produces crystal clear beer, but no aroma. I'm thinking of either reducing the time in secondary, or adding the dry hop later.
I have never dry hopped with pellets before maybe the less surface area gives you less hop aroma. We will let someone chime in that has used both methods before
Primary 1: Canadian Pale Ale Primary 2: American Stout Primary 3: Empty Primary 4: Empty Bottled: IPA,Belgian Wit, Pale ale,Stout, Sour beer. Planning: Janets Brown, Northern German Alt, Arrogant bastard Clone+ more yummy beersI only take a drink on two occasions - when I'm thirsty and when I'm not. Brendan BehanDrunken Lullabies Brewery Slainte!
If you dry hop with pellets without a hop bag make sure you filter into your bottling bucket. You can clog up a spring loaded bottle filler pretty quickly.
What kind of hops are you using? For the ten days of dry hopping what temp are you at? The warmer it is the more it will extract from the hops.
For my DFH clone, I only use 1.5 ounces of dry hops and get plenty of aroma. Four ounces should be almost overpowering. I assume you're using fresh hops (not ancient ones from years ago) and "good" dryhopping hops? I've never used gelatin, so I can't speak to the effect that may have.
Vinnie and Russian Rivers preaches that you should dry hop multiple times. say dry hop for 5 days with an ounce, remove (easy for him with a conical ) dry hop again for 5 days with another ounce and maybe even a third time.
It's just a hop to the left! And then a step to tha' ri-iii-ght! Put your hands on your hips, and then you hold on ti-iiight........ Pay close attention to the hop you are using and it's Beta levels.
I dry hop a lot of my beers, this is what seems to get me the most flavor and aroma for me: - rack to secondary after a 10-14 day primary (assuming FG has been reached) - leave the beer in secondary carboy for 1 full week. - add dry hops (I prefer whole leaf, no bag) to the carboy and leave for another week - rack to keg or bottling bucket and wait for 3 weeks to age/carbonate I don't crash cool or use gelatin, I only use whirfloc or IM in the boil. The beer is almost always clear by the time I put in the dry hops. The thing that seemed to make the biggest difference for me was waiting the first week in secondary before adding the hops - by that time there is no significant CO2 being released to carry out the aroma from the hops. Then the beer goes straight off the hops and into the keg or bottle.
I'm not too familiar with using gelatin, but if you are adding pellet hops and the gelatin together, maybe it's grabbing the hop particles and pulling them down before they have enough contact time with the beer? I agree that you should be getting something from 4oz, I've done 2oz before and got plenty of flavor and aroma. With your dual cold crashing do you really think you need the gelatin? I made a perfectly clear IPA with a good cold break and an extended primary, no cold crashing, no gelatin. Not coming ffrom experience, so take it for what you will.

Follow-Up Postings:
Laura, It is almost certainly a China-Gallica Hybrid, but it is not 'Cardinal de Richelieu'. the good Cardinal has petals that do not reflex at all, but retain their distinct heart shape to each petal. The color of your rose is too reddish-purple to be the Cardinal either and the canes are far too prickly. No, I can't tell you what it might be; I don't recognize it. There are so many purplish Hybrid Chinas floating around without names (I have several collected ones myself) that it is hard to distinguish one from another. You did an excellent job of documenting all the plant parts though, which is precisely what one needs to do for an identification. Perhaps someone else will recognize your rose, but if you don't ever find a name for it, don't let that diminish your appreciation for its beauty. Regards, |

Laura, that is one beautiful rose. Is it fragrant at all? The blooms reminds me of the foundling called "Edna's Rose" that PrairieWind posted photos of on this forum a few years ago. One of PW's "Ednas" is blooming in my yard right now, and the flowers are very similar - it's probably one of the scores of purplish Hybrid Chinas that Paul mentioned. "Edna" has a wonderful fragrance. Do you have any idea what the growth habit of a mature "Vienna Cemetery" plant is like? Hard to tell from the photo of the mother plant, since it was mowed back. |
Looks like Little Red Runaround aka Old Red Runaround. A frequently found rose but so far nobody has come up with the original name as far as I know. |

I thought Red Runaround had little blooms. |
Paul; Thanks. I'd realized that the color and abundance of thorns argued against an identification as Cardinal de Richelieu, but hadn't picked up on the difference in petal shape. Is the light reverse something that's commonly seen with these roses? Cecilia; It has a moderately strong fragrance - spicy, not sweet. I found several photos of Edna's Rose in a Webshots gallery (linked below), and if it isn't the same rose, it's certainly similar. What is its growth habit? I know better than to draw too many conclusions from the appearance of a cemetery rose of unknown age and questionable care, but that said, the growth habit of my find seems to most resemble the first one described for gallicas on the Vintage Gardens web site. There is evidence of suckering over a wide area, most of which has been mowed. The un-mowed canes don't appear to have been pruned or to have suffered any winter die-back and are slender, lightly branched, dense, and maybe 4' tall or a little less. They arch somewhat under the weight of the blooms, then pop up fairly straight once relieved of their burden. Oldroser, Berndoodle; Red Runaround... I've never heard of that one. How large are the blooms, and how red is it? My rose isn't grape purple but I wouldn't call it red either. More of a violet-magenta, with a slate blue cast to the outer petals. |

Laura, the Edna's Rose in the link is the one that PrarieWind found - maybe tha's her photo gallery? Anyway, my Edna is still small, but it looks like it wants to be a climber or at least a rose with long, arching canes. The canes are rather flexible - maybe because it's a young plant? My plant has already suckered a little - I sent Jeanne in OH a rooted sucker of it for evaluation this spring. |
Cecilia, The longest VCP canes I've seen have been barely long enough to make a self respecting arching rose. I'd be surprised if it ever develops into a climber. I notice that there are full sun and partial shade shots of Edna's Rose in the Webshots gallery. Has there been discussion of the shade tolerance of that rose? The VCP parent plant is growing in a spot that I would consider too shady for most roses, and yet blooms well and appears to be in remarkably good health for a cemetery rose. |

Here's a link to "Little Red Runaround," which may or may not be the same as "Old Red Runaround." I wish it were a better picture, but the foliage is pretty much in focus. The blooms dry out to a wine color in serious heat. As I recall the blooms are only about 2 inches across, and the plants I saw weren't terribly tall - - say 3 to 4 feet. It suckers and forms a colony. Your plant doesn't have that suckering look, and the blooms look pretty big. |

Thanks Cass. The height of LRR is about right for my found rose and mine does sucker. It had been recently and ruthlessly whacked and mowed at the time the full shrub photo above was taken. The blooms are larger but not that much - 2.5" to maybe 3" across. It's hard to tell from the HMF photo, but the petals of that bloom don't seem to reflex nearly as much and it appears to have a button eye. And the buds don't look right. I think it's probably a different rose. Cecilia, do the petals of Edna's Rose have a light reverse? |
- Posted by Cecilia_MD7a 7a/Baltimore,MD (My Page) on Mon, Jun 6, 05 at 9:30
Laura, I'll have to check if the petals are lighter on the reverse - I can't remember. The photos in the link you posted don't appear to be. |
- Posted by autumnshowers z7 TX (My Page) on Wed, Jun 8, 05 at 20:21
I would be interested in growing this rose to compare it with several of my old European "purple" roses mentioned in this thread. |

My birthday is in less than two weeks ago (Oct 30th) and I'm turning 30! I'm actually really excited to be considered a grown woman and I'm pretty sure that being in my thirties means that I am one finally. But I also am on the verge of tears daily about my birthday. It's not the age part, it's the expectations part. I have gone from being so grateful for all my friends to seriously considering ending all my friendships. I didn't say I was a stable human! I am constantly filled with emotions and they usually are intensified around my birthday time. Why can't I just show up to my own surprise party? Is that really too much to ask for? I think that's truly the best part of being a kid, someone just always takes care of your birthdays and gets you cake. If I could just have a toddler-themed party, I would be more than happy. Pinata me up, guys!

girl you and I both had golden birthday's this year! i turned 27 on oct 27th! happy late
happy birthday! hope you have a great one.
HEY! We have the same birthday! I'm turning 22 this year and I'm dreading it. All of my friends have graduated from college and here I am still attending 8AM classes. Instead of a cake all I want is a college degree and an acceptance letter from my dream medical school. sigh
I will be 25 on the 29th and have to agree with the other October birthday's…it's hard having your birthday around Halloween! After you pass the age of eleven everyone in the world has a life that doesn't revolve around your birthday haha. I definitely have to sit down and have that conversation with myself (it's just a birthday! and you get cake!) every year. Don't feel bad and make the best of it!
OK, not reading the other comments like I usually do because I just want to say my peace because no one really knows how their 30th will truly end up…
I would say from 25 on, I was actually excited about my 30th birthday because all of my older friends had an awesome time on their 30th, tons of people came out and everyone toasted that person's move into "real" adulthood. I was genuinely happy to turn 30…I was excited about it's prospects.
But I made some dramatic changes at 29 that changed that scenerio forever…and I discovered that I should never envision the perfect moment because they just don't happen…
On my 30th, I invited a bunch of peole out to celebrate, a few confirmed so I was at least slightly excited that a few people cared (but lets be honest, I hoping everyone would have been super psyced) but I had a new boyfriend, that people were skeptical of (despite their worries, I am now 31…32 in exactly 2 hours and 30 days from now, I am completely happy with our life together)…only 5 people showed up to my RESERVED table at my favorite bar…and maybe only 2 of them I would have considered to be "good" friends.
But the people I thought were my best friends were a no show, no calls, nothing…but truth be told they were in different phases in their life that prevented them from being there but at the time but I was so hurt…and I still have never expressed to this day how bummed I was that they were not there on what I perceived to be MY special night.
At the end of the evening, I ended my birthday with a broken phone and a mighty guilty hangover of "what did I do to deserve this". I spent a long time dwelling on this materialization of disappointment but the moral of the story is that I survived and I am better for it…living a life that is mine and no longer what I (and what I think most people) expect it to be.
I hope that make you feel better. I know I do getting that of my chest!
Happy Birthday, girl…enjoy whatever it turns out to be and never waste a time/a breath dwelling on it!
i totally cried when i turned 30 just a couple months ago.
it's normal.
you'll be alright! 30, flirty, and thriving!
I turned 25 in February and everyone pestered me about turning half a century old! I was going into the dark abyss that is reading fashion magazines and eating fried cheese in my pjs, when I decided to throw myself a little party at a nearby bar and all of my best friends came out to celebrate with me, they came from near and very far! (I live in SoCal/Inland Empire and a friend drove from Las Vegas to celebrate that one night with me!) I then realized that as much as I felt like the day would be uneventful and depressing, I had amazing friends that were willing to go the extra mile to celebrate my quarter of a century birthday! =) Throwing my own birthday shindig ended up being therapeutic, in a way. =)
I turn nineteen (canadian twenty one ) in six days and for the last three months I've been counting down the days and then at the ten day mark I started feeling very sad and I just want one last year of youth!!! so much conflict!!!
Now Sophia, I'm going to have to truth bomb you here. You are an amazing, beautiful & clever woman, snap the eff out of feeling so sorry for yourself. Since you have a website dedicated to your BFF's I'm going to assume you are liked by people and that you have friends. Also because you're alive I'm going to assume you came from two human beings that are related to other human beings. Thus, you have friends and family….what are you complaining about??? Use your birthday as an excuse to get all your friends in one room. That's it. Get excited, don't ruin it for yourself! Laugh, drink, be merry.
this is pigeon country
Oooooooh man. I had a FULL blown panic attack – walls closing in/life flashing before my eyes – panic attack – in anticipation of my 30th. It was like – wtf…where did the time go?! What have I "accomplished?" Then I spoke to an acquaintence who was also turning 30. She proceeded to tell me that she "feels good about it and is looking forward to her 30s." Somehow this did NOT make me feel better. More like – mmmhmmm that's niiiiiice, cool story bro -_- *middle finger* I'm pretty positive most of the time but needless to say around my b-day i am emofaced.
I am turning 26 on the 29th……. and I am not looking forward to it really. Basically because I feel like I'm nowhere near where I had hoped I would be by now. I've also been saying that Lesley Gore's song will be my theme song this birthday. lol But I really am going to try to not be THAT upset about it. Plus I took the day off so I can relax and be with people I actually really like. Can't be too upset about that. lol
i'm turning 30 4 days before you! i've been dreading it, too. just because i'm just not where i thought i would in life by now. i'm wishing time would slow down a little. i'm going on vacation with just my husband for my birthday because i really didn't want to feel obligated to celebrate with friends and family when i don't feel like it's something worth celebrating. the only party i will be having is a pitty party.
When I was 26, a friend of mine who was 36 died. I vowed then and there to never lament growing older. I'm 42 now and life just keeps getting better! I hope you have a wonderful birthday xo
I will remember this comment always. Thank you xoxo
I always cry irrationally around my birthday (well pretty much year round). I turned 20 a couple weeks ago, and I was really inspired by Mindy Kaling's idea of giving back on her birthday. So the week before my birthday I donated all of my hair to locks of love and when I walked into dinner the waiter greeted me as sir and then asked if I was there for a little girl's birthday party because of all the Hello Kitty decorations.
I just rushed to tell Mindy that story. That is so inspirational. I heart Hello Kitty
I find it's the high expectations I place on birthdays that generally makes them suck. That, and sometimes you just have bad days that coincide with your birthday which always makes your birthday seem so much worse (those dang expectation again). One birthday, a couple of years ago, I was rather depressed (I can't remember why) and my best friend dropped round & just sat with me while I watched melancholy movies & somehow it was perfect. Another year she organised a surprise party for me, which I found out about the second she started organising it. So naturally I decided to invite a whole other group of friends (from a different social circle). It was fun because she got a surprise too, "I don't know who invited them, I thought about it but I never did". I went along with it, I let her blindfold me & surprise me & it was great fun. I told her a couple of years later that it was me who invited my other friends. You just can't keep secrets from your best friends. We laugh about it now. Point is, like any other day, birthdays are a mixed bunch & a friend can make even the most sucky birthdays into fond memories.
I understand you PERFECTLY! I love to throw parties for everybody, but when this is about me, I get super stressed out and hate it, Usually a day before my birthday I cry most of the night, and for some strange reason, I don´t like people gathering around singing Happy Birthday and full of surprises. Call me antisocial depressed hater kid, Sadly it´s true so stop saying cause my prozac and stress therapy wont work. Maybe i dont like my birthday because it remains me of clowns and balloon animals and frankly I´m terrify of themo_O.
But Sophia don´t worry! I´m sure you´ll have a fantastica b-aday sionce you are a fantastic person!!
thank you
I turned 30 a couple weeks ago, and, while I had a great birthday, and even celebrated again last weekend, I ALSO CRIED! I cried because I felt so much pressure all the sudden; I just got married, I am trying to figure out when to have kids, my job is stressful, my husband got laid off, and all the sudden I just felt like I wanted to press the pause button, or the fast-forward…just anything to get past this weird feeling of suddenly being old (lol) and not having everything figured out yet. I got over it, mostly. I am learning to accept the changes in goals, in my body, and my values.
Now that you are 30 you have a little more weight behind your words. At least I'd like to think so.
I turn 30 on November 21 and I thought I would dread it but really I am looking forward to being older, wiser and more understanding of life's lessons than someone in their twenties.
Thirty is a turning point – you can choose to embrace it or run away. I say make 30 your b***h – because even though 30 is a hard slap across the face and it stings like hell you soon realize once the sting subsides that you needed to be slapped in the face, it helps to ground you and give you a little perspective. Cheers and Happy Birthday Sophia Rossi!
My 30th birthday was mixed. I had a great time with two friends who had fireworks and made me a home made dinner. Then I went to a gay club with a younger group of friends and it was all about them. I paid for my own way in and another girl because she didn't have cash and bought my own drinks. Some nice gay guys bought me some drinks. This year it was me at home alone with my cat. Kind of sucks not having 'real' friends. Then I just put on some cartoon and try to laugh it off.
So fireworks and a home made meal – that's what you should do for your birthday.

Main personal web site at the Institute for Policy Research
McCall received her Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin. Her's areas of interest include social inequality, economic and political sociology, methods, and social theory.
Her work on rising class inequality among women in the United States, and, more generally, on how racial, educational, and gender inequality variously overlap and conflict with one other, has been published in a number of journals as well as in her book, Complex Inequality: Gender, Class, and Race in the New Economy (Routledge, 2001), which was the first runner-up for the C. Wright Mills Book Award.
Her current research includes (1) an ongoing study of economic inequality among women, (2) an analysis of the impact of corporate restructuring (e.g., downsizing, subcontracting) on rising inequality, and (3) an investigation of the political consequences of rising wage inequality, in terms of awareness of and opposition to inequality, preferences for redistributive policies, and political participation.
McCall also maintains an interest in feminist social theory and methodology, in particular the conceptualization and empirical analysis of multiple dimensions of social relations from a social science perspective. Her work has been funded by the National Science Foundation, the Russell Sage Foundation, and Demos: A Network of Ideas and Action, where she is a Senior Fellow.

We just added a new category to our hair care page- hair care tools! Starting with specialty brushes that can make all the difference when achieving your desired look:
We just added a new category to our hair care page- hair care tools! Starting with specialty brushes that make all the difference when achieving your desired look:
Possibly the most perfect hairbrushes ever made- the Philip B. Hairbrush is a superior blend of first-cut, nylon-reinforced boar bristles (that will never snag or tangle) – packed at twice the density of other brushes on the market to leave your hair lush, bouncy and gleaming. The ergonomic shape makes salon-quality blowouts at home a reality with the extra-long, ergonomic handle that gives you more control and protects your hands from the heat.
We all know the feeling of getting a great haircut and style from a salon but after the first wash, you could never really replicate the style that the pros do - now you can!
The brushes come in three sizes, each a work of art. The tiny round brush captures the hard-to-style baby hairs around your face with ease. The medium-size brush is great for someone with thin, fine hair who wants volume and texture. The jumbo is ideal for creating body and wave in normal to thicker hair – and a shortcut to the perfect curled-under bob or flip. All made in natural mahogany.
And don't forget the Hairbrush Cleaner- the little tool you never knew you couldn't live without! Makes cleaning your hairbrushes a cinch!

Video Leads To Arrest In Shell Station Heist

Posted to: East Rock
There was no mistaking the face of the white-bearded gent shown holding up Gerry's Shell station on Willow Street. At least not to the man's family.
The man carried out the heist shortly before 10 p.m. on May 16 after opening the door for two customers to exit and purchasing two Powerball tickets. Unlike the other 100 or so robbers who have hit Gerry's Shell the past 36 years, he didn't bother wearing a mask or otherwise attempting to conceal his face. So he ended up starring in full view in a video captured by one of the station's 24 video cameras.
The Independent published a clip from the video earlier this week (with this story). The man's family saw the story in the Independent, watched the video, called the cops, and called the man to tell him to haul it over to 1 Union Ave. to face the music, according to Sgt. Robert Lawlor Jr., head of the robbery and burglary unit.
The man confessed to committing the robbery, Lawlor said Friday. Police charged him with first-degree robbery and sixth-degree larceny. The man, who's 57 years old, also had an outstanding warrant on a motor-vehicle violation in the town of Orange.
"I'm just a drug addict. I'm just on hard times. My family convinced me to turn myself in," the man told detectives, according to Lawlor.
The man said he's homeless. He claimed he didn't intend to commit the robbery when he first entered the store, then got the idea once inside, according to Lawlor. He denied having a gun; Lawlor said the rest of the video (the above video is just a snippet) clearly showed he had a gun.
Shell owner Gerry Katz thanked the police for making the arrest. "I'm ecstatic," he said Friday.
"It's a lesson for my store," he added, "to have even less money in the register" in the future.

Rowland Constructors Group, Inc.
Rowland Constructors was forced to close its doors in 2012, after 28 years in business. This sad turn of events began with the Great Recession of 2008 when many of our clients were forced to abandon their construction plans and several customers were unable to make all of the payments for work the company did on their projects.
While most of our subcontractors and suppliers were willing to work with us as we earned our way out of financial difficulties, Travelers Casualty and Surety Company of America took actions that forced the business to close.
We want to thank the many people we met and worked with over the years - employees, architects, engineers, subcontractors and suppliers - who helped us build so many great projects for our clients.
Thank You,
The Rowland Family

Do you have a product related question? Or do you just want to find out more about electronic cigarettes? Then this FAQ section is for you.
Quickly find the answers youre looking for
First things first.. You're going to need a starter kit. This includes the charger for the battery, the battery (bottom bit) and a clearomizer (top bit).
There are two things that are consumable; e-liquid and coils. The coils are what sit in the base of the clearomizer.
The clearomizer has a coil which heats up the e-liquid, creating vapour. Every 2 weeks on average (depending how often you smoke the unit) this coil will burn out. You will be able to either taste the burn, or it will eventually stop creating vapour. In the majority of our clearomizers this coil can be replaced, saving you money on buying new clearomizers.
Now the liquid, with all the flavour and percentages it can seem a little confus-ing, but I assure you it isn't. As with food and drink, you'll never know which one is for you until you try it. However, Virginia Tobacco, Menthol Special Blend and Strawberry Bliss are popular choices which never seem to disap-point.
The percent is the amount on nicotine in the e-liquid. Our 1.8% is based on a 20 per day smoker. Those who would like a little more we have 2.4%, and for those who would like a little less we have 1.2%, 0.6% and 0.0%.
We understand this can all be a little overwhelming, if you still need a little help, please do not hesitate to contact one of our friendly advisers who will be more than happy to set you up!
If you're having trouble redeeming your Wowcher code for a Vapouriz Product, simply get in touch and one of our amazing Customer Service Advisors will assist you.
The 'Contact Us' page can be found at the right hand side of the main menu bar.
You can also find it here!
If in doubt, simply give us a call on 01483 779 170 and ask! Remember, your gut instinct is usually right and if something seems too good to be true, it usually is.
Some of our e liquids change colour as they mature. This does not impact their flavour whatsoever!
CE4 Great clearomizer for a beginner. This clearomizer comes in the starter kit. |
CE4 V3 Upgrade your CE4 to a V3 and remove the heads once they have burnt out! |
Clear Tank Leakage is non-existent, superb flavour and vapour! |

If your clearomizer is running low on liquid, it may 'dry burn' as the head is not fully saturated. Simply keep your clearomizer topped up with e-liquid to avoid this happening.
If your clearomizer is topped up with e-liquid, you may need to replace it.
When most people think of an electronic cigarette, they think it's 'like smoking'. In fact, there is no 'smoke' involved, merely water vapour.
The term 'vaping' and 'to vape' is merely describing the action of using an electronic cigarette. If you enjoy vaping, you might even call yourself a 'vaper'.
Everyone is different! Some people like puff away all day and other people like to stick to their designated 'vaping' breaks. As a rough guide, an average 20 a day smoker of traditional cigarettes gets through a 10ml bottle every 10 days or so.
Gemini = 2-4 hours of use (approx.)
650mAh = 6-8 hours of use (approx.)
900mAh = 9-11 hours of use (approx.)
1100mAh = 12-14 hours of use (approx.)
1300mAh = 15-16 hours of use (approx.)
Vapouriz Gemini cartomizer refills and Vapouriz UK Made E Liquids contain nicotine, propylene glycol (a water based ingredient found in many health products, medicines, foods and drinks), Vegetable Glycerin, combined with natural and artificial flavourings.
E Liquid is the 'fuel' that powers all electronic cigarettes and is available in a wide range of flavours to suit every taste.
We also stock a limited range of VG (Vegetable Glycerin) E Liquids.
All of our E Liquids are compatible with all popular brands of electronic cigarette.
Vapouriz Premium E Liquids are strictly controlled, ensuring accountable quality in every bottle. They are all supplied in CHIP-compliant packaging.
Propylene Glycol (PG) e liquid is much thinner and produces more of a throat hit than VG – this simulates the feel of smoking more authentically.
However, PG e liquid may cause sensitivity in some users. We would then recommend using the VG e liquids instead.
Vegetable Glycerin (VG) e liquid is a thick, slightly sweet liquid that produces luscious clouds of vapour. VG e liquids deliver less of a throat hit. A minority of users complain about a build-up of phlegm in the throat.
Depending on your day to day schedule it is normally worth having a spare in rotation. Check out our battery page here.
The UK Cabinet Office published a report in 2011 recommending that electronic cigarettes should become more widely available in the UK as they are preferable to using traditional tobacco products.
We suggest having one clearomizer for your tobacco e liquids, one for your menthol e liquids and another for your fruits.
You can use the same clearomizer for different flavours but bear in mind that there will be a little crossover for the first few hours.
There are several different types of clearomizers to choose from, all of which are amazing. You can find our clearomizers here.
- E-liquid is also known as liquid or juice.
- It produces the water vapour.
- It comes in a variety of nicotine strengths and flavours and often consists of 4 ingredients
- Nicotine
- Water
- Base liquid (PG – Propylene Glycol), PEG 400 (Polyethylene Glycol) or VG (Glycerine)
- Flavourings - The most common base liquid is PG
- PG (Propylene Glycol) is often used as a food additive (E1520)
- The flavourings in e-liquid are the same as food flavourings, but some have been specially created for vaping.
- Try and store your e-liquid out of direct sunlight.
- You can even mix two or more flavours together to make some new blends.
In order to get the most out of your clearomizer, please keep your battery locked when not in use. You can lock/unlock the unit, by rapidly pressing the button on the battery 5 times.
This ensures that the clearomizer is not inadvertently activated, which in turn could shorten the life span of the clearomizer.
To clean your clearomizer, you can use a damp cloth and wipe the inside of the unit when you're changing flavour. Make sure it is dry before adding more e-liquid. To clean the mouth piece, unscrew it from the unit and run it under warm water.
We strongly advise you NOT to keep your Tank in your pocket. Due to its long structure, putting it in your pocket puts undue stress on the joints, potentially causing an array of issues. If you must keep it in your pocket, remove it when you sit down. Please try not to drop or crush it, as it can cause the unit to become misaligned and the joint between the battery and clearomizer will weaken, shortening its life span.
If filled incorrectly, the clearomizer may leak. When filling the clearomizer, unscrew the black mouth piece and tilt the clearomizer at a slight angle. Pour the liquid into the clearomizer, avoiding the central metal barrel as this will cause the liquid to escape.
Never let the liquid sit above the top line printed on the clearomizer. This can happen if the unit is left upside down or on its side and will cause it to leak.
Please note that for the unit to work properly there must be a hole for the vapour to exit. This is an essential part of your Vapouriz Tank.
Clearomizers are consumable products and their life span depends on the user. On average, this is 1-3 weeks. When they are used up or 'burnt out' they need to be replaced.
If your Vapouriz Tank is not producing any vapour, but the battery is working correctly, it might be time to replace your clearomizer.
To fill a clearomizer with e liquid, simply unscrew the black mouthpiece and tilt the unit to a 45% angle. Then simply pour the e-liquid into the barrel. Avoid getting it down the central metal barrel (as this may cause it to leak). Do NOT over fill it.
Log in to your Vapouriz Account via the Log In icon at the top right hand of the screen. When you put items into you basket, you'll see your Loyalty Points on the right hand side.
Leaking is easily preventable. Never let the liquid sit above the top line printed on the clearomizer. This can happen if the unit is left upside down or on its side and will cause it to leak. In order for the unit to work properly there must be a hole for the vapour to exit and this is an essential part of your Vapouriz Tank.
We strongly advise you NOT to keep your Tank in your pocket. Due to their long structure, putting it in your pocket puts undue stress on its joints which can cause an array of issues. If you must keep it in your pocket, remove it when you sit down. Please try not to drop or crush it, as it can cause the unit to become misaligned and the joint between the battery and clearomizer will weaken, shortening its life span.
Read our delivery information via here.
How often do you use it? On average, a clearomizer lasts 1-3 weeks. However, many people use the same clearomizer for months without a problem.
You'll know when to change it because it will start to taste a little burnt and/or will stop producing vapour.
This means your e-cig's clearomizer/cartomizer has flooded.
Clean it by placing it vertically on a paper towel, or blow through the threaded part onto a paper towel.
The surplus e liquid will be ejected and the unit may be salvageable.
NOTE: A quiet crackling sound is normal and if vapour is being produced, there is no need to worry. It is merely the e liquid heating up.
With so many different e liquids in our range it may feel a little daunting.
Why not try one of our sampler packs as you'll get to try several at a discounted price.
Click here to see our sampler range.
Staff Recommendations:
If it's not producing any vapour your clearomizer/cartomizer may be empty. Replace your cartomizer and fill your clearomizer with e liquid.
If you try to vape without any e liquid, it could burn out your clearomizer which could permanently damage it, making it redundant.
Gemini cartomizers last on average 1-3 days, so if your Gemini stops producing vapour, simply replace your cartomizer.
If your battery is running low on charge then this will affect the vapour production.
Using a steady long draw versus a quick sharp draw should produce a better vapour.
It may be locked! Try clicking the button 5 times (quickly). It will flash a few times and will either lock/unlock itself.
Locking your Tank will stop it being activated in your bag/pocket which will prevent burning out your clearomizer, using up its charge and wasting your e liquid.
It is important to lock the device every time you are finished with it, especially if you are around children.
This can sometimes happen if the clearomizer has flooded, the cartridge overfilled, or if the e-cig has been drawn on too hard. However, the number one cause is keeping your e-cig upside down or putting pressure on the clearomizer by keeping it in your pocket. We suggest keeping it upright at all times to ensure that the liquid is always kept below the top printed line on the clearomizer.
E liquid will taste bitter so rinse your mouth out with water if this occurs. Use a paper towel to mop up any excess liquid you can see on and around the e-cigarette and make sure it's as dry as possible before trying to use it again. Please be rest assured that small amounts of e liquid will not have a negative impact on your health.
Electronic cigarettes do NOT contain tobacco so they do not burn in the same was as traditional cigarettes. They do not produce ash, carbon monoxide, benzene or any of the other dangerous by products which result from burning tobacco.
The vaporization process produces no smell or residue (hence the "no whiffs or butts" of the Vapouriz trademark). People nearby do not face the passive smoking dangers that are associated with traditional cigarettes.
Scientific research carried out so far has concluded that electronic cigarettes are substantially less harmful than traditional cigarettes. One study has concluded that the risks are equivalent to those of using nicotine patches. Vapouriz electronic cigarettes are not for the use of those under 18 and they should always be kept away from children. They are not recommended for women who are pregnant or breast feeding.
Tank - Press the button on the battery as you inhale through the mouthpiece. Let go of the button as you exhale.
Gemini and Solo - Inhale through the mouth piece (end with the hole) and inhale.
For best results, inhale using a slow long breath.
Vapouriz is one of the UK's leading suppliers of electronic cigarettes. We only sell premium quality products and we've been fully audited by ECITA (Electronic Cigarette Industry Trade Association). If you're worried about our green credentials, then rest assured – our packaging is CHIP-compliant and all our products comply with the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Directive.
The UK smoking ban introduced in the Health Act 2006, Chapter 28 Part 1, Chapter 1, Section 1, Para 2 states:
'smoking' refers to smoking tobacco or anything which contains tobacco, or smoking any other substance; and smoking includes being in possession of lit tobacco or anything lit which contains tobacco, or being in possession of any other lit substance in a form in which it could be smoked.
Vapouriz electronic cigarettes are exempt from this Health Act as no tobacco is lit or used.

Dr. William E. Hull returned to Samford, his alma mater, as Provost in 1987, following a distinguished career as a theologian and pastor. With a towering intellect, a gentle spirit, and a commitment to faith and scholarship, he led Samford's academic program until his retirement in 1996. He serves today with the title of Research Professor. A decade ago, when Mark Noll—then at Wheaton and now at Notre Dame—challenged those of us in Christ-centered higher education to engage in serious scholarship, he quoted our own Bill Hull: "The church has failed to define its intellectual responsibilities in compelling terms, to call out from among its own those gifted to discharge this neglected stewardship, and to provide such budding scholars with support for the kind of advanced training that will equip them to do credible work on so exacting a frontier." At the commencement ceremony this Saturday morning, December 13, in recognition of a lifetime of raising the standards for himself and those around him, we will bestow upon Dr. Hull an honorary degree.
The world is better because of William E. Hull.
The mission of Samford University is to nurture persons in their development of intellect, creativity, faith, and personhood. As a Christian university, the community fosters academic, career, and ethical competency while encouraging social and civic responsibility, and service to others.
The Samford community values lifelong:
Anchored in Christian understanding, Samford University will be a diverse community, stressing vigorous learning and personal faith, in the Baptist tradition. Within that commonality, the Community will be innovative in teaching, learning and research; sensitive to global issues; aggressive in self-assessment and continuous improvement. Faithful to its mission, Samford will be known and acknowledged worldwide by holding to its core values. The world will be better for it.

Like most people, I firmly knew in my childhood that there are four tastes: sweet, salty, sour and bitter. I first learned this in my native language, Russian, then in German, and finally in English. I was quite comfortable with this concept until I became interested in taste science. Then, it appeared to me that some foods have a taste quality that could not be described by any of these four sensations. What was this other taste sensation? It turns out that I was not the first person who wondered about this. Over a century ago, a Japanese chemist, Kikunae Ikeda, was trying to explain "the peculiar taste" arising, for example, from fish or meat, which he believed was distinct from the four known tastes. He called this fifth taste "umami" (loosely: deliciousness/savory) and found that it is evoked by glutamic acid and its salts.

Originally, Janácek intended his operatic masterpiece Jenufa to begin with an overture. Composed at the end of 1894—that is, before he had started work on the opera—the overture he wrote was based in part on the Moravian brigand's song Zarlivec (The Jealous Man), which ends with the lines "I would rather cut off your head than let another love you when I am gone." Although elements of that song recur at points in the opera, Janácek ultimately decided not to begin the opera with its overture for its first performance in his hometown of Brno in 1904. Perhaps Janácek dropped the overture because the tiny orchestra of 18 players was simply not up to the music. But he never did re-instate the overture and Jenufa still starts with the ominous ticking of the xylophone rather than the passionate music of the overture. However, the overture took on a life of its own in the concerthall under the title Zárlivost. Beginning with thundering tympani and low brass, Zárlivost is extremely hot-blooded music that surges and throbs with love and jealousy for its entire length. Written in an approximation of sonata form with a trio of furious themes, a stormy and violent development section, and a fore-shortened recapitulation, Zárlivost has much in common with the fervent Act I aria of Laca, the jealous man of the opera whose disfiguring of the faithless Jenufa is the climax of the act. -
Jealousy (Zárlivost; overture), JW 6/10Year: 1894
