The Goldoni Theatre began life under the names Teatro Vendramin, San Salvador and San Lucia. This 17th century structure was unpretentious. During the early 17th century, a fire and other problems resulted in restorations. Others were to follow. The most significant took place in the 17th and 18th centuries. They included interior work by the set designer Giuseppe Borsotta and Bagnara. One of the significant changes was in name.
In the mid 1700s, a nobleman, Francesco Vendramin bought the theatre. He enticed the famous playwright, Carlo Goldoni (1707-1793) to work for him. It was a major feather in his cap. Eventually, the theatre came to bear the name of Goldoni. It was done so in 1875 with the full consent of Vendramin's widow. Since then, the Theatre has focused on his works, they are performed annually. Yet, the 800 seat theater also presents Junior Theatre, opera, concerts and ballets. Take an evening away from your discount hotel not far from the Goldoni Theatre in Venice to attend a performance. Sit in one of the 4 tiers or grab a seat in the gallery. This is one easy way to absorb Venetian culture.

New Health Insurance Plans for Small Business Approved in Maryland
By Don Rush
BALTIMORE (AP) - State health officials have approved 13 carriers to sell health benefit plans to small businesses through the new exchange.
The Maryland Insurance Administration also approved premium rates on Tuesday for the plans to be sold through Maryland's Small Business Health Options Program Exchange.
Officials say the premium rates approved for 2014 range from 4.9 percent lower to 14.6 percent higher than existing rates for the carriers' small business products.
Next year, small businesses buying plans through Maryland Health Connection may be eligible for federal tax credits that will lower premium costs.
Enrollment in the exchange opens Jan. 1, with coverage beginning on or after March 1.

Write a ReviewVery expensive for their quality
By Bret Kaplan from Long Island, NY on Dec 01, 2013
Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
Installed SEVEN of these lamps about 6 years ago and they do NOT age well. I live in the northeast and the weather has killed the finish. In addition, the solder that connects the top to the body is horrible. they are just too expensive for what you get. They look great but are just to fragile for outside lights.

Vue, Shanghai Hyatt
This two-floor bar-lounge has a wooden and brick ground floor lounge with a circular cocktail bar, DJ and reversible daybeds. Further up a spiral case on its terrace, you get unsurpassed views of the Bund (the hotel is a five-minute walk from this waterfront area in central Shanghai) and Pudong. A marble Jacuzzi is surrounded by daybeds and armchairs, and these all fill up early in the evening (including the Jacuzzi). The result is a go-to chic drinking establishment for the expat community and visiting Westerners.

I'm an experienced business lawyer. I understand contingencies in a P&S.
No matter. It's not worth the effort to enter into protracted price negotiations after a survey has revealed significant defects in a boat.
You are paying for the survey in either case, aren't you?
If you think enough of the boat to seriously consider an offer, a survey before making the offer costs you nothing, since once you make the offer, you are committed to hiring a surveyor anyway.
Also, getting the survey up front allows me to take all of the significant defects into account up front. If I still like the boat enough to make an offer, I will make the appropriate price adjustments then. I'm not going to get stuck with an uncompensated problem in any event.
That's the way its done in business-- a non bindling letter of intent followed by due diligence, and if the diligence is acceptable, then a P&S with appropriate closing conditions. The residential real estate model, where the P&S is signed first, is far too advantageous for the seller, for whom the brokers work (as do yacht brokers).

Made this cropped trousers a while back but updated the look with a fresh cropped top. The trousers is from a burda pattern that I cant seem to locate because it probably it is out of print.
The trousers has two wide pockets that meets at the front and goes all around to the sides. It has no sides seams. Gathers are at the front to provide volume and free flow movement and a zipper is place at the back. Bands are place at the ends to hold it in place. I use knits because it provides for comfort, conforms to the body and captures the style perfectly.
The crop top is from March 2013. It has a cowl design and is very short in the front and longer in the back. It is simple yet it goes perfectly well with the trouser and very suitable for hot days and night.
I wore it out to a food fair in the night and was very fashionable and cool :-)

finally got it put together. It's plain and simple. I had a cloth measuring tape so I used that to wrap the wreath. At Dollar Tree Store, I couldn't find uppercase ABC's except pastel colored ones. They didn't have numbers at all. It's probably all I'm going to do with it unless I can find a smaller chalkboard than 5X7. |
Follow-Up Postings:
This is so cute...what a cleaver idea. Are you using it for your own classroom? I know the kids will love it. You said you were having problems with finding certain things..did you check out Oriental Trading Co? It's a teacher's God Send. They have everything for Every Occasion. My school uses it all the time. |
hi slinky, I'm not a teacher. I have 2 grandsons in different elementary schools, so if both of my daughters want one for their son's rooms, I have enought supplies to make a second one (actually enough to make several). What is Oriental Trading Co.? An online store? Other than Walmart, Michaels is the only store that carries craft supplies in this area, but they only had the 5X7 chalkboards. That wreath is a 12" wreath and I think 5X7 is too big. I did buy some wooden slats that I could paint and then write something on. Like Ms. ----- class or something like that. I've looked at chalkboard paint. I think it comes in 1/2 gallon(?) cans but it's expensive and I don't want to buy that large of a can just to paint one or two slats. I guess I could use acrylic paint instead and use my white paint pen. I'm not sure about the blue plastic ruler. I may take that off. I just enjoy making wreaths, and the idea of a school wreath came to me a few weeks ago. Thought I'd try making one. |
hi donnas...Oh..I thought you were a teacher and it was for your class. What a nice idea for your grandsons. They will love it, and get a kick that you made it for them! Also, what a nice momento for them. As far as the ruler..it looks fine...another thought, if the ruler bothers you, is to ad a very small,colored frame, with their picture, mounted on the ruler,just off center. Which might be a nice idea I've seen these type of frames, at the $ stores >> just a thought..otherwise, I think it all looks great. I know what you mean about enjoying making them, and what a great excuse to do so when it's for your grandsons!! As far as Oriental Trading Co...it's a catalog and you can also order online from them. They have great stuff for all ocassions..great for kids for parties or holidays..also craft items. Have fun... jane |
That is really cute. I was just thinking that if you wanted to add a bow to one of the wreaths, the tape measure could be fashioned into one real quick. But, it is real cute as is. |
Nice wreath. If you want a chalkboard look couldn't you glue a couple of playing cards together & paint dull black & "write" on it with white paint. Could be framed with piece of craft foam if you have some around. Looks fine as is tho. Just a thought, I always see a craft & add my touches to it when I make something. I think the kids will love it! Jan |
Very cute!! I like what you ended up doing with it!! As far as chalboard paint, Walmart has it as spray paint. I think it is $5 or $6. I have used it before and it is really neat. Now that I think, it might have been Home Depot but, I think it was Walmart. Great Job!!! |

I have a very fit girlfriend that is constantly eating foods on my diet plan and it's pissing me off. Ok i'm done. She knows food is my drug. As far as I'm concerned it's like huffing someones asthma medicine.
General chatter - Are you a selfish dieter when it comes to "your" food.View Full Version : Are you a selfish dieter when it comes to "your" food. tryhardforlife 03-23-2010, 08:13 PM I have a very fit girlfriend that is constantly eating foods on my diet plan and it's pissing me off. Ok i'm done. She knows food is my drug. As far as I'm concerned it's like huffing someones asthma medicine. corndog 03-23-2010, 08:33 PM heh, that would annoy me alot! thankfully, my gf has different tastes in food than i do cherrybomb 03-23-2010, 10:02 PM I decided I have an unhealthy relationship with food when I would feel pissed that my son wants to eat "my food." I mean, he's my child, I'd die for him. Why do I care if he wants the last of the soy dream ice cream? (I give it to him, but it ticks me off inside, lol) kaplods 03-23-2010, 10:45 PM Hubby needs to be dieting too, but he's much more lax about it, so I'm very happy when I see him eating something healthy. I do sometimes get annoyed when he eats "the last one" of something I was looking forward to, but I realize it's very silly. Especially since he points out that he's willing any time of day, to run out and get me whatever I want (I was pretty skeptical of this offer, but I have cashed it in a couple times, and he really will go out and get me anything I want). With several 24/7 grocery stores in town, there's nothing he can eat, that I can't get replaced within 20 minutes. If you are not living together, I think the situation is a bit different (If hubby and I weren't living together, I'd tell him go home and eat YOUR food or at the very least, ask before eating mine). If you're living together, I do tend to see the food as being community property unless specified otherwise. I don't take hubby's pistachios, especially the last of the pistachios without asking, because he LOVES them, whereas I only like them... We also each have a shelf in the fridge and a small bin in the kitchen pantry that is "hands off" (without permission) to the other person. And even that is negotiable. Hubby goes through juice faster than I do (because he drinks juice daily and undiluted and I only drink mine occasionally and when I do I mix it in smoothies or dilute with sparkling water or diet Sprite). We buys his juice in large bottles and mine in 12 - 20 ounce cans or bottles. As a result it's not uncommon when he runs out to ask if he can have some of mine (which he generally replaces within a day or two). I don't think a medication analogy is a very good one. If someone uses my prescription medication, I won't be able to get more if I run out before I can fill my refill. If someone eats the last apple, I can get to the grocery store and get more (or ask hubby to do it). Healthy food is "medicine" that everyone should be taking, so having healthy foods off-limits to the non-dieters doesn't really make much sense, unless money is so tight that you can afford only enough healthy, good food for one of you. If that's the case, it needs to be negotiated and discussed. Also, if the non -dieting person in a couple has no interest in healthy food at the grocery store, and then ignores "their" crappy food and eats the dieter's healthy food, that's also a different issue. tryhardforlife 03-23-2010, 10:54 PM I hate having to shop. I have a pretty routine schedule of what I eat. Low fat food costs twice as much as full fat so when there is regular cheese and your skinny eat would it hurt to just eat the full fat. Ha. I'm not a selfish guy by any means but I guess I get obsessive when I'm not prepared for the week. Passionista 03-23-2010, 10:58 PM I like Sobe LifeWater, the kind that's sweetened with Stevia and has no sugar or artificial sweeteners, but it's expensive. I bought 10 on sale for $1 each and got a $5 Target gift card, making them affordable for once! I woke up one morning and my daughter and her girlfriend had drank 6 of them overnight. 6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I waa not happy; these are my "special" drinks and they are welcome to 1 per day, as I am, but 6 (3 each, effectively) overnight? Ridiculous. AND after I had just made 2 pitchers of fancy organic iced tea that they love, and told them it was for them. Oh well. Life goes on! Other than that type of thing, I don't care if they eat a lot of the food in the house, as I like to see my daughter and her friends eating well and I know they do when they're here. :) kaplods 03-24-2010, 12:27 AM I would also be selfish, if I weren't prepared or couldn't count on having plenty of healthy options in the house at all times. Hubby and I have a tendency to overstock food, which I think makes me a lot less possessive of healthy food than I otherwise would be (especially in our new apartment, but even in our previous, tiny, cramped apartment). We're on a very tight budget, but not so tight that we can't afford to stock up when we find really good buys. In our old apartment, that meant storing food in the spare bedroom, and even in my cedar chest or under the bed. In our current apartment, we have a huge walk-in kitchen pantry (it's larger than any of the apartment closets), and for Christmas we bought a small chest freezer. Having the extra food storage space, means we stock up and there's always something to eat (and most of it is healthy, because we don't buy much that isn't). It's funny though too, because I always knew better, but still half-assumed that if we bought only healthy food, we couldn't help but lose weight. In actuality, not so much. Too much healthy food, is still too much food. Of shelf-stable foods and foods that can be frozen, there's no danger at all of running out. Even when it comes to fresh perishables, we live within a block of a small oriental grocery and within two blocks of a large more upscale grocery store (high prices, but good sales) two blocks away. If my foods-of-choice required even slightly more effort to obtain, it would be more of an issue. Now that the weather is nicer, I'm really looking forward to bicycling to the stores. I love that we now live in a very convenient location (our previous apartment was in-the-boonies to some degree). mandalinn82 03-24-2010, 12:34 AM Passionista - they have them way cheaper at Costco, if you're a member. Mmm, lifewater! It really only ever bothers me if it's almost the end of the week, the grocery stock is running low, and my wife eats something I had already planned for my snack, leaving me with no options that fit in my plan. My diet is a little more restricted than hers (though we both eat healthfully) so if there's only "her" food left, I'm not able to dip into it without going off plan, so if she has a choice between something only she can eat and something she and I can eat and picks the one thing I can eat, that bothers me. But I also realized she had no idea about this. So when we get toward the end of the week, I make sure that as she's packing her food for the day, I say "Hey, babe, can you leave the last cheese stick/apple/etc. for me? It's on my plan for the day". And then we have no problems. stargzr 03-24-2010, 11:32 AM I totally know what you mean. I think I get more mad when it's a situation like mandalinn said - either I got it specifically for me or it's the end of the week and we need to go shop so we're low on many things. Just recently, I decided I would allow myself a treat so while I was out I got a small bag of twizzlers. When I got home, I could have sworn I told my husband that they were for "us" to share but after putting things away, changing my clothes, and a couple other things I came back in the room to two pieces left... TWO PIECES?! That was my planned treat for myself. I yelled, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! He says he thought I told him they were for him. I know I overreacted and shouldn't have been mad, but gees man! Needless to say I took the pieces that he offered and saved them for later to eat. This stuff doesn't happen often and maybe that's why it irritates me when it does. From then on I *try* my darndest to make it clear when I'm picking something out just for me and offer to get one for him too if he wants. BrittanieYork 03-24-2010, 11:41 AM It's so funny this was brought up today! I am on the slimfast diet for the 1st 20 lbs of my 60 lbs to lose (10 down, 10 to go!) and the other morning I woke up and my husband was drinking my lunch! I have been doing so well and I wake up to find him drinking my lunch! I guess it wouldn't be a big deal if he had any plans of doing the slimfast thing, I would just go buy some more. But... he doesn't. Don't get me wrong, I love him to death! But, common now! Really? Really??? It irked me a little bit, so I can definitely see where you are coming from : ) ParadiseFalls 03-24-2010, 12:13 PM I always got annoyed when my boyfriend would take my soymilk, rice cakes, 100-calorie popcorn bags, apples, etc. I felt like if I had to eat this miserable crap it should at least be there when I wanted it! ;) Now we make sort of a joke out of it now; when I come home from the grocery store, I show him everything and say DO NOT TOUCH THIS!! He stopped because he knows I'm on a tight budget and need my healthy food to pull its weight in terms of my wallet. But I used to get really annoyed when he'd eat my healthy stuff. rachiebach 03-24-2010, 12:25 PM Well, my situation is different in that it's my roommate and we don't share food. I found out she's been taking my snacks from my snack cupboard-and they're all 100 calorie packs so they're expensive. Effectively for me it's like she's stealing because, as I said we don't share food and she's been taking them without my knowledge. I was NOT pleased but haven't decided the best way to broach the subject with her... ParadiseFalls 03-24-2010, 12:42 PM we don't share food and she's been taking them without my knowledge. I was NOT pleased but haven't decided the best way to broach the subject with her... Ah, that is a sticky one. With roommates, I find that a note with your name on it goes a long way. It's non-confrontational, but it shows that you've noticed and you want it to stop. midwife 03-24-2010, 01:26 PM I bought 10 single serve Fage 2% Greek yogurts with honey on Monday. DS #2 asked me what they tasted like. I (generously) gave him one. He loved it! They were to last me and DD through the week (she eats them with lunch, I have one for a snack). They're gone....I was stuck with the last Yoplait Greek yogurt-wanna-be....not satisfying! Oh well, he needs healthy food too. I'll buy 20 next time. cherrybomb 03-24-2010, 02:12 PM I am posting here again because my brother got into town last night and apparently stayed up half the night drinking my unsweetened soy milk and my tazo chai tea (My soy chai's are my breakfast and one daily treat I give myself). I'm on foodstamps for goodness sake! I love having him visit but he knows I'm on a tight budget, so having him come to the house and eat all my food when he knows I can't afford more is so rude (that boy can EAT! And he's a toothpick, so unfair!). So I did not get my morning chai, and I had to convince my son to eat something besides cereal with soymilk for breakfast. I wish he would buy his own food when he comes here and stays all week, he has a good job, but he thinks I should feed him since he's an (uninvited) "guest." Regera Dowdy 03-25-2010, 03:39 AM I don't feel very strongly about it because I can't eat everything before it goes bad, like the bread and vegetables. It helps that my dad and sister also started to eat healthier about two weeks after me, so we're all in the same boat and we tend to eat the same things. I think I was worse about being selfish with food when I wasn't dieting. People were eating my cookies or my candy bars! I got those just for me! Now, the only thing that's just for me is my dark chocolate candy bar, which I keep in my desk. It would be a lot harder if I were on my own, especially since I pay for a lot of my own food and I only have a part time job. Since the three of us are together, we share the load. It's also pretty easy to stop at the grocery store after work. I think as I spend more on better quality ingredients, I may feel differently because it's expensive, but the problem will be the cost, not the inconvenience of going out or the restrictions on what I can eat. Lizzie2010 03-25-2010, 03:08 PM OMG I was so embarrassed to say anything about this before because I thought I was the only one! Ha! I HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE when people eat my food. Hate it. I used to bring home these low-cal cherry oat bran muffins from work. They didn't cost me anything b/c we can take home about 3 a day, but I only work 2 days a week. I try to get 6 b/c my mom and I share them. We're both trying to lose weight. My dad, on the other hand, eats anything. He doesn't care about what he eats at all (he's overweight and diabetic, and he refuses to do anything about it - so frustrating!). He will easily eat one of these big, healthy muffins WITH ICE CREAM for a "snack" when one of them is supposed to be my breakfast!! They're too expensive to buy when I don't get them for free. But OK, let's say he wanted to eat healthy and these worked for him... Then I'd be a lot more supportive. But then he ate my Pure Protein bars, thinking they were candy bars. Those little tiny bars a.) are FREAKING expensive and b.) don't taste a thing like candy bars. He ate 3 in one go. Those were my post-run snacks for a whole week. REALLY???? Ahhh. How frustrating! CanadianCutie 03-27-2010, 09:09 PM This reminds me so much of my ex. The last year we were together I was in such a bad emotional state that it was affecting my digestion, so I was staying away from bread (especially white bread), but was able to eat whole wheat wraps fine. He had his bread, I had my wraps, it was fine. I woke up one morning for breakfast, went to make my wrap, which I knew I had two left. He had eaten them, and there was half a loaf of bread sitting on the counter. He was a very selfish man and didn't understand why I was mad. We had a grocery store across the street from us, but it did no good, cause he'd spend the money as soon as we got it. So glad I'm rid of him. AzimuthRing 03-28-2010, 01:17 AM Wow...that would annoy me also, going through the effort of taking the time to plan out my food, shop for it, then have someone else eat it - when there are other things they could eat. I live alone, so I don't ever have that problem LOL. Buy I do get mad at myself when I know I have to make something last the whole week and then I overindulge one day....at the end of the week I'm cursing myself out. . A friend at work said when her three kids were teenagers, both she and her husband would use the empty frozen veggie bags to hide their goodies in the freezer. They said they were tired of all the 'good' things being gone. I always thought that was funny. To this day her kids don't know they did that. hehehe. Score parents!! s rosa 03-28-2010, 02:15 AM I was really, REALLY selfish when it came to my JUNK food - how stupid of me, now that I think of it. But man. It was bad. NOBODY could come near my cheez its, chips, or cheese. DH hasn't been home since I've been trying to eat healthier, so I'm not sure how it'll be. Usually I'm pretty selfish about "my" food, but the man refuses practically anything green. If I can get him to eat something healthy, it'll be worth the extra trip to the grocery store for more. He's a stringbean right now, but he won't always be that way, and I think it would actually be easier for both of us if he would be into eating the same healthy foods that I like. Now, when I have friends over, that's a different story. I get pissed when they eat my pre-planned, healthy snacks. Some of that stuff is freaking expensive, go get your own food! vBulletin® v3.6.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

8 team CTF
i've just thought about this idea:
8 team CTF! now lets see... 32 players ÷ 8 teams... = 4 per team... damn... guess thats not much of a good idea... maybe if there was a mutator used to give more bots... that would be 15 bots 8 teams = 120 bots damnit.... too many bots... hmmm... 10 8 = 80 bots... better! think that is too much teams? |
28th Sep 2001, 02:59 PM | #2 |
First, voting on your own poll = ghey.
Second, four teams is MORE than chaotic. As you can guess four is definitely enough. Besides, UT only HAS four colours? Hellllloooo? |

not relly... i was thinking that perhaps it would be possible to make a more teams with it,think about it,nearly everything else is/was possible in UT... |
28th Sep 2001, 04:05 PM | #4 |
Well there was only one vote, and surprise, it was for 8 teams. I used logic.
And seeing as how you went on in your original post about 8 teams, it only stands to reason that the 8-team vote is yours. Well, it seems like a good idea but think of the poor people with lower-end systems (like I used to have!) They'd never be able to cope..... Now if you could choose the number of teams (eg. 2-8) THEN it would be interesting. That way you could do 4-way CTF, Classic (although mot really any point, hehe) or 8-team carnage for those with the beefy system. That would be a good idea...... and I'd go for it. |

someone might have agreed with me! your right...i never thought about the low end systems because my computer can handle quite a few bots before lagging then freezing of course it will have the ability to set for less then 8 teams! it would be stupid not to there should be several other options,kind of like how the other multi-ctf mods have them... |
28th Sep 2001, 04:18 PM | #6 |
Well, if it's gonna be better than Multi-CTF (CTFM) then it better have everything that has and more.
Better ask the creator of it if you can rip off the ideas |

It would't work. Besides people have gotten so used to two team CTF that they wouldn't play it. Furthermore, how many games do you usually play that have more than two teams? It isn't widely known in any aspects of American games.
Three team CTF - two teams would gang up on the third. Four teams - two teams on each side would gang up creating two big teams again. anything more is too many frickin teams. It'd be confounding to build a map for it to say the least. Besides, nobody can think about that many factors at once.

No, the 8th team should have a poop sign on their uniform.
So, black skins, with a white tag, and centered in it a Poop.

The reason I said that, as if I need to explain myself, is because of your little gay-bash. Having an opinion is fine fut that's downright ignorant and decidedly anti-gay. That does not swing well here. The terms of service dictate that you will not post any hateful messages and all this other negative stuff I can't be bothered to go read right now. I don't care how you think about gays, or any other types of people, but if that's what you're gonna post, keep it to yourself. Thanks. [edit] You see, contrary to what people might think, you do not have freedom of speech here, so don't even start about that. This site is privately run. Therefore any rules can be made at whim with or without notice. Free speech is not something we have here.[/edit] |

Ice Lord sounds a little repressed maybe. Its usually the biggest closet cases that have these mental problems.
You say gays are sick minded, but for what reason? Homosexuality exists in all mammal species, not just people. The primary purpose for sexuality in human beings is pleasure not reproduction anyway. Gay people are doing the world a huge favor by not reproducing in a world that has been grossly overpopulated by us. In any case, I hope you don't reproduce, passing on your culture of irrational fear and hatred to children who deserve better. In any case, leave your prejudices on the doorstep when you come to PUF. |

Slowed by the recession, a recent back surgery and the heat, a Chandler woman said she badly needs the public's help in collecting donations and mailing care packages to the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
For the last six years, military mom Faith Steele of Chandler has led the East Valley Military Support Group in collecting donations and mailing an average of 100 boxes a month of necessities to the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
But for the last month, the nonprofit group's mailings have been down to zero.
Slowed by the recession, a recent back surgery and the heat - which has prevented her from placing a table outside a local big-box store to solicit donations and sell "Support Our Troops" T-shirts - Steele said she badly needs the public's help.
The Vietnam veterans who come to her house and help package the boxes and deliver them to the post office are raring to go - all they need are donations to start rolling in again, she said.
The volunteers mail out items, such as toilet paper, baby wipes, toothpaste, canned stew and spaghetti, peanut butter, and breakfast snacks. The boxes are mostly mailed to troops in Iraq, Afghanistan, Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, D.C., and to hospitals in Iraq and Germany.
"I am completely out, and we have been completely out for a month," Steele said. "I send anything I get. When we start receiving donations again, we'll start sending some boxes out."
Steele's home is filled with plaques and certificates from servicemen from all over the United States expressing their appreciation for the work she has done, and her garage resembles a warehouse where the boxes are packaged before they get mailed.
Steele said that snacks are also needed because some of the servicemen and servicewomen work later shifts, and places to eat or purchase food are closed when they are off duty.
All five of Steele's sons were enlisted in the military at one time or another, and her husband, the late Joseph Steele, served with the Army in Vietnam, she said.
Any cash donations East Valley Military Support Group receives are set aside to pay for the postage on the boxes, which is $10.95, and to further raise money for items to be mailed.
In addition to the "Support Our Troops" T-shirt, she also sells a "We're Watching You" T-shirt.
"It means a lot to the troops," Steele said. "Every little bit helps."

DIY ELIOOO Manual Shows How to Build Your Own Hydroponic Garden From IKEA Components
Posted By Bridgette Meinhold On September 24, 2012 @ 4:58 pm In Gardening,green Interiors,Vertical Garden | 2 Comments
Hydroponic gardening [9] may seem like a complicated endeavor that requires a master's degree in Biology, but according Antonio Scarponi, it's not all that hard. In fact, it's so easy, you can create an indoor garden from off-the-shelf IKEA components. Scarponi has developed a series of small to large gardens that are relatively inexpensive and only take a few tools to create. Whether you want a countertop garden, a desk garden or even a large wall garden in your living room, Scarponi's ELIOOO [10] DIY hydroponics manual shows you all the IKEA parts and tools you need to create one.
Scarponi wanted to show people how easy it is to build their own indoor hydroponic gardens from off-the-shelf parts. Rather than design and manufacture new parts, he figured it would be more resource-efficient to select from available products. He chose IKEA because they have stores are all over the world with durable parts that come in standard sizes for low prices. Many people currently repurpose IKEA designs to fit their lifestyle, and Scarponi hopes that readers of his manual will apply the same hacking mentality to create even better hydroponic gardens.

With the crisis that hit the worldwide economy over the past few years slowly getting better and the rise in student grades increasing, many employers have positively changed their perception when it comes to hiring. This positive change is to benefit fresh graduates from university.
In 2012 the number of graduates leaving with university with Firsts soared. According to figures, a staggering 64 per cent of students proudly graduated either a first or 2:1. However, this has caused some controversy as students now fear that their grades alone will not help them stand out from the crowd in the fiercely competitive job market. As a result students are now urgently seeking work experience.
There are a number of positive skills and career building attributes you can learn from an internship/work experience that will prepare you for the working world, these include: demonstrating effective critical thinking skills, demonstrating higher-order thinking skills, adapting to writing for different audiences in an effective manner, applying information and skills learned in the classroom to workplace situations, deciding whether a career in a given area is right for you in the long term, and developing project management, time management, and decision-making skills
Regardless of this news, there is some positive news for graduates in 2013 as employers are set to hire more graduates. According to High Fliers research graduate vacancies are set to rise by 2.7 per cent this year, compared to last. [1] This is brilliant news for graduates in the upcoming year.
Either as an employer or a student how much do you think internships can benefit students before contracted employment?

'Eaarth' to be read by 2013-14 UT freshmen
The world is "melting, drying, acidifying, flooding and burning" because of destructive environmental changes, and we must alter our ways if we want to keep the planet habitable for ourselves and future generations.
That's the warning from noted environmentalist Bill McKibben in his latest book, "Eaarth."
"Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet" will be next year's Life of the Mind common reading selection for freshmen at the University of Tennessee.
Now in its 10th year, Life of the Mind is part of First Year Studies 100, a zero-credit, pass-fail class that gives students their first taste of college studies.
They're required to complete online lessons on alcohol awareness, financial literacy, plagiarism, technology, civility and succeeding at UT.
Before arriving on campus, freshmen are to read "Eaarth" and complete a written response. During Welcome Week, students will hear McKibben speak and attend a small-group discussion session led by a UT faculty or staff member.More details on McKibben's visit will be announced soon.
Intending to select a book about sustainability for the 2013-14 academic year, Life of the Mind coordinators assembled a committee of faculty, students and staff to select the year's book.
Committee members said they chose "Eaarth," published in 2010, because it was "clear and direct,""a really powerful book" and "accurate, timely, well-written and well-researched."

text: Ugh! I'm so tempted just to head to my maintenance calories and let my body just plateau where it wants to. I'm so tired of focusing on weight loss and my goal, I just want to maintain and focus on nutrition and fitness! But I don't want to maintain this weight! I'd use the "suggested" maintenance calories for someone 10lbs lower than my "goal" weight, which is a level I think I'd be very happy at for the rest of my life, and I'd continue to zigzag to keep my body guessing and allow for dinner out and what not. But I know that I need to stay strong for just 10 more lbs maybe 15 and then attempt that strategy. I know that 145-148 is where I will be more comfortable. I'm pretty happy now, but there are some areas that need some more shrinking and I refuse to be in the "overweight" category. I know that's stupid, but I just do. I'm so tired of being preoccupied by food, but I know that won't change even if I do start a maintenance plan now, I'm always going to be preoccupied by food. I just think it would be nice just to naturally reach my goal and not be afraid that once I get there I have to figure out how to maintain it because I'll have been maintaining it all along. Can anyone relate or think it might be a good idea to inact my plan now? I mean I guess I could do it and if it doesn't work or I'm unhappy with the results I can just return to where I am now...Oh how to I make this decision!

What's With "Comic Fans" These Days?
By Bud_El 41 Comments
I'm a Superman fanboy. I'm proud to say that I will defend Superman and anything to do with him (besides his new 52 main title comic book, Superman). But I'm not just some guy who saw Man of Steel and decided I was a Superman fan. Like most of us Superman fans, I've been a fan since I could say "Holy cow my Superman pajamas have a cape".
Several years ago, the worst thing that could've happened to comic books, happened to comic books. The Spiderman films. For kids and "fans", they were an open door to a new world and the most entertaining thing they had seen to date. But to the Marvel big wigs, they were nothing but dollar signs.
Suddenly, we saw something terrifying. A group of teen age Spiderman fanboys who had NEVER picked up a comic book in their entire lives. These kids would argue the movie's mythology as if it was actual mythology. And since these movies were so popular, no one argued the true mythology of Spiderman. Those who did were dismissed by "No dude, he's right." A phrase uttered by fanboy lackeys to give the illusion that they too knew all about Spiderman.
Then it all started to simply crumble. Iron Man. Iron Man is so wildly popular, I believe if Tony Stark's name appeared on a presidential ballot, he would win by over 40%. Now, the false comic book fans were multiplying at an exponential rate. Iron Man fans who had only seen the movie would engage in full blown keyboard wars, arguing that Iron Man could beat Superman with "...one of those sticky rocket thingys that he uses to blow up tanks."
But no mythological being has had a false fan following quite like the Batman. Batman begins was a quiet enough movie. Most of my friends waited to see it until it came on TV. (It was on FX just about every day back then). Only a few demon minions were spawned from this. Then the Dark Knight came out. The Dark Knight is arguably the greatest hero film of all time (I wont call it a super hero film or a comic book film because it simply isn't that).
And now we have the argument of the Batman factor. Batman was born for the big screen. In a time when people feel a constant fear of the future, they identified with Batman. But unlike Green Lantern, who conquers his fear, Batman uses his fear and aims it at his enemies. This gives people a comfort in themselves. They don't have to be better than the people they hate. Simply not being that person makes them better than that person.
We feel that as long as we (Batman) are not the Joker (the people and things we hate) and we don't do as bad of things as the Joker does, we are better. Which makes us the hero. Batman fanboys will argue against this until they have to finally admit "Okay okay, Batman kind of walks the line."
And that's when I applaud! They have finally gotten the point of Batman and are ready to read a comic book.
Now, it's cool to hide from things you're scared of and bully the people who bully others (Spiderman). So Superman, the representation of ultimate good, is dwindling in reputation. It isn't cool to be cool anymore. The US President himself wants those with less to bully those who have more, even if they aren't the Lex Luthor type. So having all of the greatest powers is a bad thing. "Superman is OP". Superman is the 1% now. People think Superman shouldn't have all of his powers.
Man of Steel came out in the middle of June this year. It was the best Superman movie and the best comic book film since the original one in the eighties. Despite the false fanboys screaming "He killed all those people and Zod!!! MY Superman doesn't kill!!!" it still got rave reviews from sights like this one. Had those false fanboys actually picked up a comic book before the new 52, they would see that Superman has killed several times including the time he killed the original Zod in their first encounter.
Had those false fanboys seen the movie and actually payed attention, they would have known that there was absolutely no other way for Superman to handle the situation. He had to stop the world engine in the Indian Ocean. Had he tried to sever the connection by destroying the ship in Metropolis, he would have been attacked by Zod's entire attack force which would have with out a doubt destroyed Metropolis completely which is absolutely not logical in any way.
Now there's talk of more DC movies. And I can't help but be slightly nervous. If the Avengers movie manufactured THAT many false fanboys, what's the JLA movie going to do?
So now I ask you, how can you handle these false fanboys? If you've ever tried to argue with them it's like trying to tell someone who's spent all their lives under a rock with only a flash light about the sun. "No I'm telling you! There's a bigger, hotter version of that that you don't have to hold outside! It floats!" You sound like a fool, and they and all their friends, are the smart ones.
So what the heck is with "comic book" fans these days?

Working with hospice is tough enough without the entanglement of religion and family members who may or may not be helpful in the dying processes. I respect their work and the goals of Hospice; several family members and friends were helped, especially families. I have no idea how one bridges the gap when a person is dying, weary, perhaps sick, sometimes tormented by people who love them, and all the while knowing death is an end of life as we know it and a change to a different form of energy. I don't understand why that is so frightening; death is like going to sleep; the brain and other organs begin to shut down when blood flow stops. My children have instructions to hold my hand if they can be with me, and rejoice that I came into the world and found it to be just splendid.

I read once, and again I apologize, I am TERRIBLE about remembering names, someone said that just knowing their child was enough to make living worth while. I SO agree with that. Just having been able to have my, now almost 18 & 20, 'kids', and loving them so much has made all the bad things that come with life, worth it. There are other things too like seeing the beauty of nature, and I love my pets, etc., but my kids make the world Awesome to me. I am not afraid of dying. I just hope it is before my children, and that they are on their way in life and don't need me as much. Even at this young adult age, I know they still need Mom and Dad. :)~Melinda

I'm still looking for a dwarf, sterile cultivar of royal poinciana. My girlfriend loves them but we don't have the yard space to devote to a big tree and I'm not going to constantly deal with seedlings either.
Previously I was told to look at Pride of Barbados. Well, I finally saw one and to me it looks weedy... Not really what I'm looking for. I realize that with a LOT of training from a very young age it might work, but I'm looking for an easier option. Any suggestions? Other than "quit being so picky!" :) |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi I tried for several years to "Dwarf" a variety of white poincianna resulting in going ten years with no flowers Did remain under 10 feet though.lol 3 of my neighbors keep regular RP and the main problems besides size are not so much the seeds sprounting but the pods are large and very hard. Tough on mowers ?? I'm a BIG fan of the dwarf poincianns POB being my favorite I keep them in oversize pots as I like to move them around. Check out some of the nurseries that keep already trained specimens You will pay for it BUT will already be towards your "Ideal" Might mention that they also have pods but are only around 3 inches and are soft. There are at least 500 types of flowering trees that require 8 or above winters so there MUCST be a type ??lol gary |

The Shout Out Louds, an indie band hailing from Stockholm, are releasing, "Blue Ice," a track from their upcoming album, Optica, IN ICE. The 7" record is created in a mold, and can be played with any old record player. How is this possible outside of a Swedish ice hotel you ask? You can watch an explanatory video below.
The video has a slightly condescending, "this is what a record made of ice sounds like though you probably won't get to hear it in person," tone, but is cool nonetheless. Merge released only ten molds of the limited edition DIY records. You can listen to a room-temperature, solid version of the song in the video below.
Adam Olenius's timid vocals and bouncy guitar are present as always, but the track has a bit more of an 80s, easy-listening feel to it. Optica will be the band's first album since the release of Work in 2010. I saw them at Webster Hall a couple years ago and, even through my mononucleosis-induced haze, I managed to dance like crazy. The band will be coming to the Music Hall of Williamsburg in March. Tickets go on sale December 7th. Get 'em while they're hot…or ice cold!

The Best Eggs You Will Ever Have The Pleasure of Eating!!
By: Elizabeth Muench (May 12, 2012)
Angela, Thank you for your excellent service. The eggs arrived in 2 days. Your eggs were so delicious, and just lovely in my opinion. The yolks were a very rich colored orange and so flavorful! I have never had such a delicious egg. I have tried so many different brands and farmers' eggs, these were simply the best. I think the shipping is very reasonable as well considering what you are shipping and the packaging was excellent. They arrived all perfectly. Bottom line, I will definitely be back. Those of you considering a purchase, you will not be disappointed.

Well I'm new to the forums and did so much to try and edit the profile under here. The recent forums I was apart of I stopped going to it months ago. Almost six months ago. Now I decided to join another one. I don't know how this one came to mind but I have spent an hour trying to look for one.
Avatars are so complicated to put up on this forums.
Say, I hope none of you don't mind my visitation. If you remember me from another forums due to signature (and probably) avatar. I wouldn't mind pm.

Smug Spoiled Prick - 02.15.14
***IMPORTANT INFORMATION/ DISCLAIMER*** This represents the official view of the voices in my head. If the title above offends you, do not bother reading. This is how I see a given topic or idea from my perspective only, at some given time, which may or may not have changed at some other given time. Now that we have that out of the way let's move on. This is for you, you smug, spoiled prick. You know who you are... Waitresses now better known as servers are a large underpaid, underappreciated portion of our society. It is nearly the only profession where an uneducated women of almost any age can scrape by a living. Though, I am sure you lack the capacity for this type of reasoning in your narrow view, take a moment to fathom that maybe she didn't have the same privileges as you. Believe it or not, not everyone gets to go to college. And some for reasons too exponential to lay out for you never even make it through high school. So, consider this next time you sit down for an overpriced meal of your choice. This is a woman you don't know, who has a life you know nothing about and say hello back, make eye contact and be patient. These sir are called common courtesies, which I suspect more often than not are passed down to the many children of these hard working women. And for God's sake tip at least 20% anything less is an insult when you consider she is being paid half of the current minimum wage and dealing with you.

My friend's daughter - not three yet - isn't toilet trained. Fortunately, mom is not pulling her hair out because she remembered what we talked about years ago - DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF! She'll definitely be trained by the time she gets married! Seriously, she'll begin to show signs of physical and emotional readiness soon and she'll practically toilet train herself. Don't worry about what the "other" kids are doing. Your child will accomplish goals in her own time.

Eryn and her friends. |
Two years ago, Sadique was playing with some fiends by a river when a crocodile jumped out of the water and bit his leg. Although he had managed to escape the crocodile, he was left with a gapping, festering wound on his leg that went all the way to the bone. When Eryn arrived in Macomia in December of 2012, Sadique's leg was ripe with gangrene. As Eryn began to settle and integrate into her new home, she got to know her neighbors. And it didn't take long for her to find out about the dying twelve-year-old who lived next door.
As Eryn built a relationship with the boy and his family, she quickly gained enough trust that the family permitted her to take him to the local hospital. The boy had been a patient there already, but with the system being what it is here, they couldn't do much for him. My guess, is that after the accident they probably gave him five days' worth of Paracetemol and told him to go home and rest. But Eryn didn't accept that. She returned to the Hospital time and time again to make sure this boy could see a doctor. Finally, after a handful of consultations, the doctors in Macomia suggested that Sadique get x-rays in Pemba, the closest city that has some-what contemporary medical equipment. A small victory.
So Eryn took him to Pemba and got him his X-rays; mind you, she paid for the entire journey because his family couldn't afford it. The doctor's in Pemba had good and bad news. Sadique would live, but he had a severe bone infection and the chances of him keeping his leg were slim to nil. They'd have to operate. So they gave Sadique some anti-biotics, cleaned his wound, and showed Eryn how to care for it. Then they sent them home with the first of more follow-up appointments.
Eryn continued to play doctor, arriving at Sadique's house, undressing his wound, cleaning it, and then redressing it as instructed by the doctor's in Pemba as well as some advice from the home front. The antibiotics helped a bit, but she could tell it wasn't enough. So she kept applying pressure on the doctors and soon enough, Eryn had their attention. So, she took Sadique back to Pemba for surgery, both under the assumption that he'd be coming back with one less leg.
But that didn't happen. And thanks to Eryn's humongous heart and meticulous caretaking, Sadique was able to keep his leg. Rather than cut the whole thing off, the doctor's extracted the infected part of his bone and were able to stop the infection from spreading further. Best part is that after the surgery was done, the doctor's took the bone they extracted, put it in a jar, and gave it to Eryn to keep.
Today, Sadique is the smiling 13-year-old pictured below. He's living life, running around, and fazer'ing barulho just like his other friends; only there's a slight difference. Not only does the kid have a great story to tell, but he's got an awesome scar and a bone in the jar to prove it.

That's exactly what you think it is. |
