Sleepy's is the American dream. It all started when Louis Acker landed on Ellis Island in the late 1920s. In 1931, he opened a mattress store in Brooklyn, where he and his son, Harry, tied knots and stitched mattresses by hand. After Louis passed away, Harry carried on the family business, eventually transforming it into Sleepy's, whose first store opened in 1957. There, he built the company's foundation upon quality products and an expert staff of Mattress Professionals.
Today, those Mattress Professionals share their wisdom at more than 1,000 showrooms across the United States, helping people figure out which sleep system is best for their body and wallet and for discouraging squatting by assorted boogeymen. The modern-day version of Sleepy's has grown into customers' source for the industry's top brands, including Simmons, Serta, Sealy, and Tempur-Pedic. Sleepy's also carries a wide range of other specialty sleep products, from pillows and mattress pads to sheets, blankets, and headboards.

The two brothers opened Sacramone's Restaurant to share the recipes and techniques passed down through the family, from their grandmother's kitchen in Abruzzo, Italy, to their mother's kitchen in the United States. Many of the dishes on their classic Italian menu were once treasured secrets of their mother, Maddalena, and they can now be savored nightly by patrons.

A story of heroism is coming out of New York City after a man rescued a young boy from a burning apartment building.
Horia Creatan was working at a nearby store when he heard screams.
"I rushed outside ... to see waves of smoke coming out the window," he said. "I ran and got my ladder. I got close to the fire escape and climbed my way up."
Cretan said that when he first got to the window, no one else was around. A man screaming from the window told Cretan there was a small boy who needed help too.
"That's when I broke the windows, to make sure that the smoke comes out ... I needed to see where the boy was," he told ABC News.
Cretan grabbed the child, wrapped him in a curtain, and carried him to safety. Moments later, firemen arrived and helped Cretan with the child. The boy is now in the hospital, but is expected to survive.
Oddly enough, it's not the first time that Cretan saved a life from a fire.
As a 12-year-old in Romania, Cretan saved his younger sister from a fire that killed his father.

Acid-fast stain
Acid-fast stain
The acid-fast stain is a laboratory test that determines if a sample of tissue, blood, or other body substance is infected with the bacteria that causes tuberculosis and other illnesses.
How the test is performed
Your health care provider will collect a sample of blood, urine, stool, sputum, bone marrow, or tissue, depending on the location of the suspected infection.
The sample is then sent to a laboratory, where a small amount is placed on a glass slide, stained, and heated. The cells in the sample hold onto the dye. The lab team member washes the slide with an acid solution and applies a different stain.
The bacteria that hold onto the first dye are considered "acid-fast" because they resist the acid wash. This type of bacteria is associated with tuberculosis and other infections.
How to prepare for the test
Preparation depends on how the sample is collected. Your health care provider will tell you how to prepare.
How the test will feel
The amount of discomfort depends on how the sample is collected.
Why the test is performed
The test can tell if you have come into contact with the bacteria that causes tuberculosis and related infections.
Normal Values
A normal result means no acid-fast bacteria were found on the stained sample.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What abnormal results mean
Abnormal results may be due to:
- Tuberculosis and related infections
- Nocardia infections
What the risks are
Risks depend on how the sample is collected. Ask your health provider to explain the risks and benefits of the medical procedure.

Do you recall what ISO you used on this film? I know when I use most slide for xpro, I set it one speed faster, but I am not sure if the Lomo labeled ISO 100 is what I should use or go to 200 for better results.
@neanderthalis: generally I always expose (in daylight) a x-pro film one step under, that is 200 iso for this 100 one. For this exact shot, as the light conditions were low, I exposed it at 100 iso.
Thank you for the advice.

Hi everybody,
I am pretty new to this forum,although i have been on Gardenweb for a number of years, and have gotten some great information on the various forums.
I have it planted on a raised bed with mulch and over the last several years it has not failed to amaze me with its color and beauty.
The following year it leafed out as usual very nice,turning from bright red to green later in the season,but last year the tree did not fully bud,and leaf out, and i had several dead branches. I just noticed yesterday, now that all the snow has melted recently, the tree is still alive, albeit with several dead branches as before, although it is still early in the season for budding in this zone in Ct. Is this maple worth saving, should i give it some time and see how it develops or look for a replacement? Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Ken |

I'll have to check mine tomorrow to see how far along my buds are, but, yes, it is a bit early to make any definate determination. You can get a feel for how bad it may be by comparing the number of good and dead-looking buds and how much of the overall shape will be left, but it's still guesswork this early in the season. tj |

Comments about IRC GP-110 Motorcycle Tire:
I have run these IRC's on 2 bikes over 10+ years, and I absolutely love them. Smooth on the highway, very long lasting, slide great on fireroads, and plenty adequate for a dual purpose tire when the going gets rough. I've been on some pretty bad trails with these IRC's, and other than mud or sand, I don't think you can beat them for an all around tire.Oh Yeah, for you peg draggers out there, these tires are FUN in the twisties. These tires drift predictably and controllably. I love running tight twisties with my DR350, If the turns are real tight and the speeds slow enough that I don't run out of power, I can stay with most sportbikes. (and I have more fun doing it, than on my 1100) PS- I don't work for IRC either!

Would buy again
By catnip3
from northeast PA
See all my reviews
I have put 1500 miles on these tires on a Suzuki DR200SE, and they are worlds better than the stock Trail Wings. I ride about 80% pavement and 20% gravel roads. They corner nicely on asphalt and handle well in gravel. I have not ridden in mud- that's what I have a dirt bike for! After 1500 miles, I don't see much wear on the tires. I will definitely get them for my XT225 when it's time.

Read Before You Buy
By bhtransalpin
from WV
I have used these tires for two years now (on my second set), and absolutely love them. I am getting about 6-7.5K miles out of a set, and that's on a 400lb Transalp. The price is GREAT and if you are looking to ride your dual-sport in the MUD you probably shouldn't buy a 90/10 dual sport tire. Mud riding would require something like a Dunlop D606. For street riding and an occasional fire road or dual-track, these tires ROCK!
Have been using you for years, great service, excellent selection, improved web site! Always looking for ways to make it better!!!
Decent Tire for Cummuting.
By JMW0704
from Southeast Michigan
I ride a Honda XR650L and use it almost exclusively for commuting to and from work. I bought the GP110's because of their heavy street orientation (90% street). I have no problems cruising at 75mph on the freeway. They are quiet in a straing line but do sound like a very distant tornado warning siren in turns. I'd have to say they are very good gripping tires, not great, but for a dual purpose on the street they meet expectations. The front tire sticks very well under all road conditions that I've encountered, and the rear brakes loose under hard acceleration in a very predictable way. They work very well in the rain too. I've only had them for about 3 months, so I don't know how long they will last, but they are showing some wear more quickly than I expected.
Awesome shipping and great prices!

Now you're thinkin' 'bout it
Girl you're thinkin' 'bout it
What we got here
How we fuckin' got here
from The Weeknd – Rolling Stone Lyrics on Genius
She is thinking about how they got where they are, she still can't figure it out — probably because they both got high
Weed helps creativity — but hurts spatial memory
Since Abel explained the how heavily his music video symbolises his fans, underground music and mainstream music, the girl he's thinking about is us. The listeners.
So I think that open opening lyrics means that Abel and us, the listeners, are thinking about how he got to the position he found himself in musically and commercially.

are a group of plants which produce beans, peas, peanuts and lentils. Usually
we find them mixed in with salads and soups, but they can make nutritious
additions to most dishes, and they contain a wealth of healthy attributes. They
are an excellent source of a range of nutrients and in this blog we'll look at
the top 8 legumes, what they're good for and why you should be adding them to
your diet.
1. Kidney beans
beans are usually associated with chilli, but if you limit their use to just Mexican
night, you're missing out. Kidney beans are packed with good stuff, including
98% of your RDA folic acid for cell formation, 47% of your RDA of copper, for
enzymes and blood formation and 35% of your RDA of vitamin B1 for cell function
all in 100g of beans. Add to that 23g of protein per 100g and you're getting
much more from kidney beans than you thought.
beans are becoming more popular in salads and soups as people look for ways to
improve texture and flavour in food. Pinto beans are also full to bursting with
good nutrients. One hundred grams of pinto beans contains 24% of vitamin B6,
essential for energy metabolism, as well as 40% of your daily selenium, making
them great for antioxidants.
Blackeyed peas
peas are often used in the cooking of curry dishes, adding essential protein
and nutrients to meals. They contain 23g of protein in each 100g serving, which
is the same level of protein as beef. They also pack in 46% of your daily
magnesium and 31% potassium, both important for nerve impulses.
are usually discussed as a superfood, and this is certainly a reputation based
on fact. Lentils are high protein, low fat and packed with vitamins and
minerals. One hundred grams contains your RDA of fibre, great for digestion,
and also adds antioxidants and zinc, which is essential for testosterone formation.
For more on lentils, click here.
5. Mung beans
are a staple in Indian cookery, often used in vegetarian dishes in place of
meats. They are a highly nutritious legume, packed with excellent levels of
copper, iron, manganese, phosphorus, potassium and zinc. They are also
exceptionally high in folic acid, so they are a good choice for pregnant and
lactating women. Chickpeas are also high in carbohydrates, giving much needed
energy as well as complete protein.
Lima beans
beans are a complete protein source, full with all the essential amino acids.
They also contain 21g of protein per 100g of legume, which is close to the amount
of protein in chicken. Like other legumes they are filled with good vitamin and
mineral levels, particularly in antioxidants, vitamin B6 and vitamin K, good
for blood clotting.

This is my first year growing cucumbers for pickling, second year making pickles. Some of my cucumbers got really big, like 2-3" thick or so and 6+" inches long. Are these too big to slice and make dill slices out of? Also, some of them have been sitting in the fridge for a few weeks waiting for enough to ripen to make a full batch. They're still quite firm feeling, but are they going to be a bad idea to make into pickles? If so, what should I do with them?
Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
They are really only suitable for relish at this point. They should never sit in the fridge that long. They need to be picked and pickled within 24 hours. Why not make up brine and keep in the fridge and just process a few jars in the boiling water bath at a time ? The recipe I use for dill pickles only makes a few pints anyway. |
So you can't make pickles out of store-bought pickling cukes? I bought some yesterday, who knows when they were picked. |
So you can't make pickles out of store-bought pickling cukes? You can of course but the quality of the pickles will be less. Growing your own or getting them fresh picked from a local grower or farmer's market gives the best results by far. They go soft very quickly once picked. Dave |
My great grandfather used to make pickles out of overgrown cukes. He would peel the cukes, then take all the seeds out. He would use the white flesh only, cut into chunks. And they were pretty yummy. I've been trying to find the family recipe. We used to call them "Grampas Pickles". My grandmother used to also make them. But she has alzheimers pretty bad now. I'm trying to contact the extended family tree to see if anyone else has the recipe. We just got home from a weeks vacation and have a couple almost baseball bat sized slicer cukes - and this would be the perfect solution for those cukes. But I think they are going to end up in the compost bin instead. |
Isn't there a big sliced cucumber sold by Vlasic made out of the overgrown yellowed cucumbers? They come in a short squatty jar, and they fit perfectly on a hamburger bug. |
If you will google "big yellow cucumber pickles" you will come up with some excellent recipes. The one at cooks.com is the one my mil used to make. What a treat. |
Be sure to use a safe recipe with them. They are more alkaline (low-acid) and have much higher water content than normal so it is important for the vinegar to water ratio be adequate for them to safely store on the shelf. Dave |
As a side note, this year I'm growing Diva cucumbers, a seedless, burp-less variety that I've had good luck with in the past. I've a couple dozen vines, and so miss a few, and they get enormous. This variety, no matter how large the fruit gets, stays with small seed core and tiny, soft seeds - even a foot long and 4 inches in diameter, they make great bread and butter pickles, as well as eating fresh. |
With cukes that have gotten overgrown i make refrigerator pickles. I came home from vacation and had 6 cukes about 7" long and 3-4" diameter. Had to do something with them. I personally like the seeds and extra flesh of an over grown cuke. I start by taking each end off the cuke and hold it up to the quart jar to see if it will fit. Then i halve it. Quarter it, eighth it etc until i get the size pickle i want. I only grow about 4 cuke plants up a trellis in my little garden so i know i am not going to get a lot of cukes ready to make a big batch. Don't let them sit. Pick them and pickle them in the next few days. They will be fresh and have a nice snap. I am not a big fan of processed pickles though. They tend to get so mushy and soggy. I like a pickle with a snap. I like Alton Browns recipe for "Kinda Sorta Sours". It is a quicky recipe and you only need a few cukes. Down side is they are not shelf stable. You have to keep them in the fridge and eat them in a couple months. They never seem to last that long in my house. |

This is a good product. It is my staple moisturizer currently.
-doesn't break me out (hallelujah)
-white tint
-not very moisturizing
Overall, I am still searching for my HG. I will use this till I find it or something better.
A good product for those who has really sensitive skin. It doesn't contain any harsh ingredients which is a plus for those with sensitive skin. For me who has both sensitive and combination skin, this moisturizer actually made my face appear more oily especially around T-zone area. I find that it was not as moisturizing as I expected; my cheeks were often still very much dry. Overall this product is great for those with sensitive, normal skin.
**This product is now discontinued.
This is a definitely my HG moisturizer. It's light and fragrance-free, with a touch of SPF protection and the right amount of moisture. This doesn't overpower my skin, and when I pat it on, my face seems to "glow". Not from glitter or color, but from within, like my skin is happy.
This moisturizer is now a staple in my skincare routine, especially in the winter when my skin is battered by the harsh chill but still needs a bit of sun protection. During the summer I mix this with my Eucerin Everyday Protection Face Lotion SPF 30, and it's just perfect.
It hasn't caused me to have more pimples than usual (still looking for the miracle product that will banish my acne!), but it does seem to help in the healing process by not drying out or agitating the blemished area.
I will repurchase this product when I run out, as it lasts a long time and works great!
I tried this the other day, and it was alright. it didn't work very well in terms of moisture, but there was definitely SPF. I don't like the smell, but its tolerable. Maybe I should have shaken the bottle really well or something, because it seemed like when I squeezed it out there was some moisturizer and then a layer of oil. It just didn't work well for me.
UPDATE: Olay has listened to the complaints! They will be re-releasing the original formula in April 2010. Thank goodness! For once, a corporation listened to the consumer.... Once released, I'll update my rating back to a 5!
EDIT: Olay just redid the packaging for this, and also changed the formula! The SPF ingredients are different. Going onto the Olay website, there were some extremely negative reviews, that the new formula was bad and had a negative scent. I just bought some and tried it... and oh boy. The bad reviews are right. Before, this stuff was a moisturizer with SPF in it. Now, it's sunblock with some moisturizing in it. It smells like sunscreen, feels like sunscreen, and is super greasy. And I broke out after only a few days. I am severely disappointed. Now I need to stock up on the old formulation! But that will expire eventually. Luckily, there are many generic versions of the old formulation (Target, CVS, Walmart), so I will just keep my fingers crossed that they don't change the generic versions to the new olay formulation! Or else I'm screwed... Rating is knocked down to 2 lippies...
ORIGINAL REVIEW (old formulation): This is my daily moisturizer, and has been for years. For my extremely sensitive and acne-prone skin, it's muy importante that I find a moisturizer that works for me. And this has it all - spf, fragrance free, and non-comedogenic. It moisturizes well, although I would say it could be better. With my extreme dry spots from using drying acne meds, I'm not sure what could deal with those dry spots. But I've used this for years and it's never done me wrong. It's light and not greasy and soaks into my skin nicely. Plus, you can get it everywhere and it's quite affordable. There's no reason for me to switch!

My sample of Murad moisturizer was out, and I wasnt about to spend $33 for the full size bottle. This DS moisturizer is super cheap. It was about $9 for a big bottle. I think it smells like bugspray, but nobody else seems to lol. I use the DDF sulfur mask so my skin gets dry, but this makes it moisturized and smooth again. It is kind of greasy, but i dont apply a lot of it. A little goes a long way. I found that applying this right out of the shower does wounders. Will buy again!
this is really moisturizing but it's greasy at first application.. i use this as my sun protection on my face, it doesnt sting and theres no heavy feeling.. but then i still want to try other products..
Ive been giong through a very flaky dry skin period for a few months now and ive discovered it was partly due to the E45 for very dry skin cream i was using. I bought the Olay complete yesterday and it kept my face moisturized the whole day and there were no white flaky patches the next morning.
very cheap for 8 Euros
goes on well, absorbs well too and is not oily
doesnt block pores
has 15 spf
smells just ok (i have the sensitive one which is perfume free)
i would have preferred a glass jar rather than the plastic one but atleast its a full jar and not half an inch product in a 50ml packaging!
I will buy this product again, and I already have.....countless times. I use a quarter size amount for my face to get the full spf. It's so cheap really good for a drugstore product!
I do not like the squeese bottle though..some gets wasted. :( Oh well..nothing is perfect :)
UPDATE 9/24/09 - They seem to have changed the formula and I can no longer use this. It stings! Boooooo. This was my HG for 6 years !
I've only been using this for a week and already love it! My skin is very sensitive and prone to breakouts..but so far nothing! before i was using Clean and Clear dual action which is supposed to prevent acne but it didnt do anything for me and actually dried out my skin. this is the first moiturizer i've used that doesnt leave red marks on face after application due to sensitivity. It's gentle..not greasy at all...and I find that it leaves a glow to the skin. It also contains vitamin E which I've heard can help fade acne scars...but I havent noticed anything..yet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The Bible overflows with "texts of terror".[1][2][3]
Supercessionist Christians focus on violence in the Hebrew Bible while ignoring or giving little attention to violence in the New Testament.[4]
The Hebrew Bible contains many passages which are against a violent approach, with others that describe violence.
The Torah, Tanakh and its related literature write extensively concerning peace, as well as its opposite states. The word "shalom" meaning "peace" has been absorbed into the usage of the language from its Biblical roots and from there to many of the world's languages, religions and cultures as prized idioms and well-worn expressions. A New Concordance of the Bible: Thesaurus of the Language of the Bible [5] lists over almost 300 words connected with the root "SH-L-M" for "peace" and the same for "Solomon"
Notable examples:
In the story called the Binding of Isaac or the Akedah[6][7] God asks Abraham to sacrifice his son, Isaac, on Mount Moriah. The account states that Abraham "bound Isaac, his son"[8] before placing him on the altar. Abraham is about to kill his son when an angel of God stops him at the last minute. (Genesis 22:5 and 22:8).
Several of these arise in the context of the story of the conquest of Canaan.[9]:319-320 For example, in Deut 20:16-18 God orders the Israelites to "not leave alive anything that breathes… completely destroy them …".[10] thus leading many scholars to characterize the exterminations as genocide.[11][12] Other examples include the story of Amalekites and the commandment to exterminate them,[13] the story of the Midianites,[14]:245 and the battle of Jericho.[14]:289-296
The instruction God gives in Deut 20:16-18 is for Israelites to exterminate "everything that breaths", but the precise extent of the killing varied, as Van Wees notes.[15] He goes on to say that "The genocidal campaigns claimed for the early Israelites, however, were largely fictional; the intrinsic improbability and internal inconsistencies of the account in Joshua and its incompatibility with the stories of Judges leave little doubt above this." [15] Most scholars conclude that the biblical accounts of extermination are exaggerated, fictional, or metaphorical.[16] In the archaeological community, the Battle of Jericho is very thoroughly studied, and the consensus of modern scholars is that the story of battle and the associated extermination are a "pious fiction" and did not happen as described in the Book of Joshua.[17] For example, the Book of Joshua describes the extermination of the Canaanite tribes, yet at a later time, Judges 1:1-2:5 suggests that the extermination was not complete.[18]
Likewise, it is not clear if the historical Amalekites were exterminated or not. 1 Samuel 15:7-8 implies ("He took Agag king of the Amalekites alive, and all his people he totally destroyed with the sword.") that - after Agag was also killed - the Amalekites were extinct, but in a later story in the time of Hezekiah, the Simeonites annihilated some Amalekites on Mount Seir, and settled in their place: "And five hundred of these Simeonites, led by Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi, invaded the hill country of Seir. They killed the remaining Amalekites who had escaped, and they have lived there to this day." (1 Chr 4:42-43).
Scholars point out that collective punishment, particularly punishment of descendants for transgressions committed by ancestors, is common in the Jewish Bible.[19]
The New Testament contains many passages which are against a violent approach, with others that describe violence.
These are a few examples of passages which indicate the New Testament is against a violent approach, though there exists many others:
Ephesians 4:32 "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you".
Luke 6:27 "But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you".
Matthew 5:43-48 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?".
Matthew 6:14 "For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you".
Romans 12:14 "Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse".
Romans 12:17-21 "Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone".
1 Peter 3:9 "Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing".
1 John 2:9-10 "Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness. Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and there is nothing in him to make him stumble".
Probably the central act of violence in the New Testament is the crucifixion of Jesus. This act, held in most Christian theologies as crucial to the redemption of humanity by God, is also held to be ordained by God.[20]
There are sayings of Jesus that promote or glorify violence:[21]
Jesus' cleansing of the Temple is an example of direct violent action by Jesus.[23]
The apocalyptic Book of Revelation is full of imagery of war, genocide, and destruction; it may be the most violent book in the entire Bible.[24]
The theological problem of theodicy deals with how evil can exist if God is omnipotent, omniscience, and good. People of faith who emphasize pacifism have struggled with biblical passages describing God as warlike or violent.[25][20]
Scholar Nur Masalha writes that the "genocide" of the extermination commandments has been "kept before subsequent generations" and served as inspirational examples of divine support for slaughtering enemies.[26]
Arthur Grenke claims that the view or war expressed in Deuteronomy contributed to the destruction of Native Americans and to the destruction of European Jewry.[27]
Niels Peter Lemche asserts that European colonialism in the 19th century was ideologically based on the Old Testament narratives of conquest and extermination and that some radical Zionist groups have brought the same idea to bear in Israel.[28]
Scholar Leonard B. Glick states that Jewish fundamentalists in Israel, such as Shlomo Aviner, consider the Palestinians to be like biblical Canaanites, and that some fundamentalist leaders suggest that they "must be prepared to destroy" the Palestinians if the Palestinians do not leave the land.[29] Several scholars draw similar conclusions. [30][31][32]
The Book of Revelations has been used to justify Christian hostility, Christian imperialism and Christian sectarian violence.[24]
Discussions of the violence in the Bible have been deployed for various theological reasons.
As the early Christian Church began to distinguish itself from Judaism, characterization of the "Old Testament" and the portrayal of God in it, as violent and unforgiving, were contrasted rhetorically with certain teachings of Jesus to portray an image of God as more loving and forgiving, which was framed as a new image.[33]
For example, in his work Contra Faustum Book XIX,[34] the Church father St. Augustine discussed Jesus of Nazareth's Sermon on the Mount, in which Jesus urges his followers to turn the other cheek when confronted by violence, as opposed to applying the Lex Talionis.
Supercessionist Christians have continued to focus on violence in the Hebrew Bible while ignoring or giving little attention to violence in the New Testament.[4][33]
Gnosticism is a philosophy that has undergone waves of popularity, including some at the time that Christianity and Judaism were separating. A key notion is the division between the material world, which gnostics viewed as being created by a demiurge, and a spiritual world created by the true god.[35] Perhaps the most famous example of an early Christian Gnostic was Marcion who characterized the "God of the Old Testament" as the demiurge, and dropped the Hebrew scriptures from his version of the Bible. Marcion saw the God of the Old Testament, the Demiurge and creator of the material universe. For Marcion, the God about whom Jesus spoke was an altogether different being, a universal God of compassion and love, who looks upon humanity with benevolence and mercy.[36]
Marcion's teaching was repudiated by Tertullian in five treatises titled "Against Marcion" and Marcion was ultimately excommunicated by the Church of Rome.[37]

Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
I don't understand the choice to have shifting gravity on every level. It wasn't like that in the original "The Game". I mean is the theme of this game to satire pop culture or to navigate through shifting gravity? I'm guessing maybe your point was that since pop culture is constantly gravitating towards the next thing or something like that...
It is a nice effect, but it should have been used less to say more. Done to overkill it just makes things more annoying than they need to be.

SEX: What's on the Menu Tonight?
By John Beiter
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Questions about the lack of sexual desire have been around since the days of Sigmund Freud. Freud was interested in trying to figure out why women seemed to have a lack of desire and what buttons needed to be pushed in order for her to become aroused. It is not hard to understand from the Patriarchal society that Freud was immersed in to quickly realizing why it was considered "a women's problem" back in the day. In fact, I think that if there were assertive research conducted today in the realm of low sexual desire that we would most likely learn that it is not tied to any one specific gender but affects the entire population. I think we have been trying for too many years to scientifically explain a way to base it upon some complicated set of biological factors and functioning when maybe all we need is to give it a fresh perspective.
Let's take a look at the model that pathologizes low sexual desire. Low sexual desire emerges when one looks at human sexuality from an orgasm based foundation. In other words, sex has its roots in reproduction where an erection is a necessary component along with orgasm, which at one point the privilege of achieving such belonged solely to the male partner. Somewhere along the timeline, the female was acknowledged of being capable of having an orgasm, but again only after the male had prescribed exactly when and where it was to take place – that is during intercourse, while the penis was in the vagina. Of course, women were made to feel inadequate or abnormal if she could not perform to the male's unrealistic demands and expectations. Unfortunately, some still believe in this anatomical challenging proposition and believe they must conform or there is something wrong with them that requires a visit to a sex therapist. Be that as it may, the purpose of this writing is to challenge the old model and put it into a perspective that we all can relate and understand.
The old model that we are all supposed to fit into and become aroused in deals with what I call meat and potatoes sex and this I believe is where the real problem lies. In fact, I would argue that there is no such thing as low sexual desire or inhibited sexual desire when viewed in this context. Let me explain what I mean by way of an analogy.

Superb Precolumbian Crocodile Pendant, Panama browse these categories for related items... Directory: Antiques: Regional Art: Americas: Pre Columbian: Metalwork: Pre 1492: item # 83383 Please refer to our stock # TF98.070 when inquiring.
HD ENTERPRISES, INC. PO Box 22082 Denver, CO 80222 303-695-1301 Guest Book $45,000.00 |
Its not often that a Precolumbian gold piece can be dated with science...but this superb gold crocodile (TF98.70) lent itself to that approach. Sent to Stoetzer, Inc. of Miami for authentication (check out their site at stoetzerinc.com), this stunning beauty was quickly determined to contain its original clay core. A sample of that clay was extracted from the inside of the crocodile through a slightly widened hole in one of its legs and then submitted to the Kotalla laboratory in Germany for thermoluminescence analysis to determine the age of the casting. The results indicate that the crocodile was cast some 800 years ago, or at the peak of the gold smiths art in the Veraguas area of Panama, thus dating this phenomenal treasure at c.1200AD. The crocodile, measuring 4 in length and weighing 54 grams, is the last image in a three figure series depicting the transformation of the shaman to his alter ego, the caiman, or South American crocodile. The elements on the sides of the crocodiles tail are similar to the next one in the series, the mixture of shaman and crocodile (click on 'detailed search' at the upper right corner of this page and enter following numbers in 'Item #' 83320 for the croc/shaman and 83193 for the shaman). Its doubtful that a crocodile as beautifully made and as accurately dated exists! Presented in a lined case that comes with a small display card, a map of Panama outlining the Veraguas area, the original Kotalla report, and a confirmation certificate by Stoetzer, Inc. |

All Eyes on London: The Global Summit to End Sexual Violence In Conflict
Bukeni will join hundreds of activists, NGO and government representatives and media to discuss concrete actions towards promoting justice for survivors of sexual violence.
Bukeni will join hundreds of activists, NGO and government representatives and media to discuss concrete actions towards promoting justice for survivors of sexual violence.
This week we're watching for major protests in Cambodia, creative protests in Saudi Arabia, and documentation of human rights violations in the Western Sahara and Brazil.
By driving, and agreeing to have this act film, Saudi women are resisting the restriction on women's rights for one of the most basic and essential tasks of life—getting around.
What did Angelina Jolie notice in Our Voices Matter? Hint: It's why WITNESS is releasing a guide on ethical interviews with survivors of sexual violence.
On March 8th, the world celebrates International Women's Day. It's a somber celebration, though: despite progress in some areas, more must be done to end impunity for perpetrators of gender-based violence.
Men are joining the movement against violence against women like never before. The One Million Men. One Million Promises campaign is unifying their voices, and using video to amplify them.
As a citizen of a nation that's infamous for policing other countries' human rights abuses, I rarely examine the abuses enabled by the discriminatory structures of the United States criminal justice system. So when I was asked to compile a video playlist for WITNESS's participation in the global campaign 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence, I began to think about the lack of introspection amongst Western voices critical of gender-based violence.
Women describe their rapes from behind black face scarves in videos on our site that documents sexualized violence in Syria. We have no photos of women whose faces aren't covered. We have few photos of survivors of rape even with their faces covered. Sometimes these women hide themselves for religious reasons or for safety—for fear of retribution for speaking out—but oftentimes they cover themselves out of mortification. Rape has taken their cultural purity.
Imagine dropping your child off at school every day, afraid that you won't be back at pick-up time. Imagine staying with a violent partner because calling the cops could tear you away from your kids. Imagine arranging for a neighbor to take care of your children in case you disappear — which could happen any time. Tough to imagine? This is reality for millions of immigrant women in the United States.
I was disturbed by PBS's new film, Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women. The two-part series is inspired by the 2010 book of the same name written by New York Times reporter Nicholas Kristof and his wife, Sheryl WuDunn. Accompanied by high profile celebrities, Kristof takes viewers on a tour of the dangers that women face in the developing world.
As advances in technology democratize the media field, its makers are becoming more and more diverse, presenting a prime opportunity for traditional advocates to become facilitators and traditional "victims" to become actors in advocacy scenarios.
Today the world celebrates the 101st International Women's Day (begun in 1911). This year's theme, declared by the United Nations, is "Empower Rural Women – End Hunger and Poverty," as highlighted in this message from the UN Secretary General, Mr. Ban Ki-Moon.
Earlier this month, I spent some time in Yemen's capital, Sana'a. Last year I spent four months covering the pro-democracy movement that has forced the three decade old despot, Ali Abdullah Saleh, to hand over power to his deputy and current vice president, Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
A few weeks ago I was fortunate to sit in a dark room with the inspirational and multifaceted collection of voices that make up the Media that Matters Film Festival. Showcasing its 11th premiere this year, Arts Engine's annual screening curates diverse independent films and shorts which jump start thought, conversation, and action – a celebration of video for change in its many shapes and sizes.

Stepchild Got It Right
I tested this board out for a day at Canyons and it was one of the best park boards I've been able to ride. It was very forgiving and held true on rails and boxes, and totally destroyed the jumps. I was very satisfied with this board the day I tried it and may even buy it when I get the money. I have always like Stepchild after trying out the Powder Sucks board and this is just as great!

It would be great for my purposes to only grant access to a few tables only. Others also might find it usefull to just have a listing of those tables (possibly stored in a configuration file) for sub-admins that they don't want tinkering with major tables, bt would like to give them access to a few tables.
Is this possible, and would anyone else find it useful?

RN Medicaid/Medicare Billing in NC
0May 30, '13 by juschillinHello,
I have an NPI from when I was a self-employed nurse practitioner in SC (along with Medicare/Medicaid billing numbers). I now reside in NC and am trying to determine if RNs can bill services to M/M, and if so, what services can we bill. I've tried calling CMS in Atlanta and can't get anywhere (NPI office gave me the Atlanta number). My plan is to work independently as a RN (self-employed) and also for a company as an employee (RN). Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks. -

We had a confirmation call telling us they had the dolley and uhaul for us and when we arrived they had no dolley and we had to go purchase one.
Chad was very helpful and patient with us in determining the correct trailer size, if the vehicle would haul it, and then even loaned me an connector adapter. The help was much appreciated.
I did an after hours drop off, so I can't rate the questions above. One question forced a response, so I put "average," although it might be better than most Uhaul locations for all I know. It was dark but the exterior looked nice. I had swept the truck thoroughly before drop off. Nonetheless, I was hit with a clean up fee. I was not there when they opened the truck, so I can't dispute it. On the phone, I told the employee that I had swept the truck. He said the problem was that there was a clump of debris. Sounds like, at most, it was a clump accumulated from sweeping that would have taken seconds to kick out the door. Employee said he had no discretion but to charge the fee. So, apparently, that pettiness and loss of good will is on Uhaul, not this location. Silly things like this can make a customer look at competitors next time - all for $25. I don't expect to change Uhaul practices, but you asked for comments. I'm sure the cost-benefit analysis of this practice has been done and the practice will continue.

Friday 22nd April 2011
All the guests at Two Fish Divers Lembeh helped to first do a beach clean up in the front of the resort, then after that off to the Police Pier Reef for an underwater cleanup!!!!
Special thanks again to all those who helped on the day: Hugo, Phil, Nickie, Budy, Cenk, Gabi, Luk, Pierre, Sharon, Fabien , Udo, Christian, Alfred, Harry, Torsten & of course all of the Two Fish Divers Lembeh team as well – well done guys the amount of trash collected was pretty amazing!!!! Some of the more unusual finds were a roll of linoleum, game console controllers & one complete dinner set!!!!!!!!
Today 22th of April is the international DIVE FOR EARTH DAY!!
As divers we do care about ocean protection, so to contribute Two Fish Bunaken organize a underwater clean up.
After having done a briefing providing an explanation of how to recover the trash, as well as what should be recovered and what should be left behind, the dive took place this afternoon in Bunaken village pier. We arranged the buddy teams and both staff and guest jumped into the water with a mesh sack ready to began our search for debris and trash. After one hour underwater working together for a common good we all came up with full sacks. However it was to late for some of the rubbish found underwater at it was already part of the reef!!
Tomorrow we will report our event data to Proyect Aware
Thank you for celebrating the ocean planet with us!!
Help Give Sharks A Fighting Chance – Sign the Petition
Shark populations are devastated by overexploitation, including targeted fishing, bycatch and finning. Join thousands of AWARE divers and shark advocates who are serious about shark protection. Support the goal to reach 100,000 petition signatures from around the world by June 8th, World Ocean Day. Sign the petition and urge your friends and colleagues to do the same.
Together, we're gaining the attention of policymakers worldwide. We're closing loopholes in existing global shark management policies and insisting on full protections for Endangered and Critically Endangered sharks.
So far, the hotspot has skipped North Sulawesi Area. And with the the likely movement of the hotspot from North of Phillipines towards Palau, potentially, Bunaken will not be affected by the bleaching. However, it does not mean that the reef does not need our help.
the Philippines, Palau, and Guam.
In the same way that people who are in shape can fight and recover from disease, corals that are tough and healthy are more likely than weaker corals to survive stressful events, such as Acanthaster outbreak, or coral bleaching. Here are some sugestions that you can do as a dive operator.
1. Ask snorkelers and divers not to touch, step, or kick the corals. Make sure divers have good buoyancy and
that their dive equipment is securely attached. Consider keeping beginner divers at a distance from bleached corals.
2. Help maintain healthy populations of herbivorous reef fish, such as parrotfish, rabbitfish, surgeon fish, rudder fish, as well as sea urchins. Consider reducing the removal of these species. These creatures play an important role in removing algae, which can overgrow
areas of the reef that had mass mortality. Algae‐free areas are crucial for baby coral to settle and grow.
3. Be informed about the bleaching and the hotspot movement (in Indonesia, around April‐June, and October‐December). Help us to understand the extent of a bleaching event by informing us about the bleaching and non‐bleaching areas among your dive sites. Therefore we can have preliminary information on
which areas are stronger than others.
4. Help us to monitor the condition of affected and unaffected dive sites. Monitoring gives us clues about which areas recover better than others.
5. Help reefs to recover faster by stabilizing substrates through rehabilitation efforts.
6. Help authorities to enforce rules in the area.
7. Encourage your divers to actively reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.
This past Saturday January 29th, Two Fish Divers were invited by the Manado Jetski and Underwater Club in conjunction with the head of the regional police department to their Coral Re-Planting initiative. This great event was made to help contribute to preserving the coral growth in the area just in front of the Club which is a sandy bottom area. The event was a total success! The organization had a few events planned for the day: First, a Jetski race of about 12 jetski´s. Second, the main event: coral re-planting. For this event, approximately 75 divers registered in the main registration desk! And third: a big buffet style lunch with live music!
For coral re-planting, two 20 meters long (approx) of an artificial structure made with iron bars has been built along the slope to help stabilize the slope and to create a base which the coral fragments are tied to attach with the iron bars as the as the support base. Bits and pieces of broken yet living coral were collected for the replanting and restoration purposes. For this event, more than 10 species of coral (hard coral) were used and planted by all the participants teams. This effort has shown that within a month, there are significant changes from this efforts. More marine life can be seen underwater, seeking for food and shelter from the coral that has been planted around the area. We hope that a continuous coral replanting and observation as well monitoring will be taking place from time to time.
We would like to thank the Manado Jetski and Underwater Club for the invitation. Also, many thanks for their efforts to preserve and contribute to marine life, which represents a benefit to the environment and also to the local community (more tourism)

A story all Christians are familiar with, the story of Jesus, told in such a way, you almost feel as if you are hearing it for the first time ...MORE INFORMATION »
Ken Blanchard, author of the "One Minute Manager" first heard One Solitary Life at the end of the Christmas pageant at the Crystal Cathedral in Orange, California. He says this:
"The first time I heard One Solitary Life, it hit me like a ton of bricks. It put in perspective that all of the pushing in life for wealth, power and status doesn't really mean anything. What really matters is what you do for others."
Through some digging he found that the story came from a powerful essay from a 1926 sermon by James A. Francis depicting the life, journey and message of Jesus. No other man, army or movement has affected the people on this earth as much as his "One Solitary Life."
Years later Ken met with Mac Anderson, founder of Simple Truths, and the project went into motion and we are proud to offer you this classic story beautifully laid out in a gift book you will be proud to give as well as a movie that will help you put your life into perspective and feel renewed and blessed.
Ken Blanchard writes a powerful foreword and offers meaningful reflections about how Jesus made a difference with his life… and what we can do with ours

About the Author

Later, Dr. Francis included it as the last sermon in his book, The Real Jesus And Other Sermons published by Judson Press in 1926. Rev. Francis died at age 64 on June 30, 1928.

Every day you have the opportunity to touch those around you with kindness. This book will inspire you to remember the power of kindness and weave it into your daily routine...MORE INFORMATION »
Pass It On! Kindness is like a snowball that's rolling down a hill. Each unselfish act or word is another snowflake that greets the others. . .creating something much larger than itself in the process.
I once heard someone say, "If you teach your children the Golden Rule, you will have left them an incalculable estate." Truer words were never spoken. More than anything, the Golden Rule is about kindness. Kindness and honesty make you feel good about yourself and create trust in others. They improve your relationship with yourself and with others. It's not much in fashion these days to talk about the benefits of kindness, honesty and decency, but the benefits are there and they are valuable and worth the trouble.
In fact studies have shown committing acts of kindness is actually good for your health. A rush of euphoria, followed by a longer period of calm after performing a kind act, is often referred to as a "helper's high," involving physical sensations and the release of the body's natural painkillers, endorphins. This initial rush is then followed by a longer-lasting period of improved emotional well-being.
Just reading stories of other's acts of kindness will bring you joy and it is a wonderful message to share with friends or volunteers who have shown you kindness. Spread some kindness today…because nice matters!

I just ordered some 8" plants. With fall setting I would like to know how I can keep the growth rate down till spring rolls in? Also can this speices be made to go dormant like the small elephant ears? |

Robusta is very difficult to grow, even for the experienced gardner. You'll see. They do go dormant, but they don't always come back. They rot very easily, so don't overwater, water them like a cactus. Also, the amount of light must be just right to keep them from getting long & spindly. Don't forget air circulation to ward off mold & disease. You unfortunately could not have picked a worse time to get such a difficult plant. =( Good luck. |

No one is near to comfort me, no one to restore my spirit. My children are destitute because the enemy has prevailed." |
