The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
20 Sing praises over everything, any excuse for a song to God the Father in the name of our Master, Jesus Christ. | 20 always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. |
21 Out of respect for Christ, be courteously reverent to one another. | 21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. |
22 Wives, understand and support your husbands in ways that show your support for Christ. | 22 Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. |
23 The husband provides leadership to his wife the way Christ does to his church, not by domineering but by cherishing. | 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. |
24 So just as the church submits to Christ as he exercises such leadership, wives should likewise submit to their husbands. | 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. |
25 Husbands, go all out in your love for your wives, exactly as Christ did for the church - a love marked by giving, not getting. | 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her |
26 Christ's love makes the church whole. His words evoke her beauty. Everything he does and says is designed to bring the best out of her, | 26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, |
27 dressing her in dazzling white silk, radiant with holiness. | 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. |
28 And that is how husbands ought to love their wives. They're really doing themselves a favor - since they're already "one" in marriage. | 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. |
29 No one abuses his own body, does he? No, he feeds and pampers it. That's how Christ treats us, the church, | 29 After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church-- |
30 since we are part of his body. | 30 for we are members of his body. |

text: I went to the gun show out in Fayetteville today just to see if they had anything that I really wanted. I have had a "need" for a single action revolver lately and came across a NIB Ruger Vaquero .44 mag. So I ended up bringing her home and have a few questions for the wise ones on here. With my GP 100, I can pretty much shoot any load out of it and have no problems whatsoever. Can I do the same with the Vaquero or is there a limit on what pressures the gun can handle? I hope to get it out to the range in the next week or so to see how she handles.

Bingo Online
Since the summers are making you tired and monotonous, it is time for some fun. I still remember the olden days of playing board games whenever we felt bored. Now the concept of sitting down in a group and playing has gone. Kids and adults have been sucked into the electronic world. There are no physical games being played now. All games that were initially played with boards, coins and dice have now been transformed into electronic form. Good to see the change of technology. The dependence of people around us has decreased to a great extent. Let me take for example the game Bingo! It is a chill out game where you have rules on the board where you got to buy some tickets and play. The catch word is the 'Bingo' which the player has to shout if the board is in the winning position. It takes a bit of knowledge and a few people to be played. Now you can play bingo online with lots of people around the country and it is so easy to learn the tactics because you learn the game with differentiated skills. The bingo terms are clearly explained on the websites. You can use them as reference and learn the game as you play.

THQ has released an ultra hard teaser video for Devil's Third, the next game from Dead or Alive creator Tomonobu Itagaki. The mock documentary follows Japanese television comedian Masaki Sumitani, who's playing Hard Gay, his most popular character. If you've never seen the comedic styling of mister Hard Gay in action, prepare yourself. You may find the strange teaser to be hilarious, bewildering, offensive, or all of the above.
The Devil's Third video follows the usual format for skits featuring Hard Gay, who often takes viewers on tours through interesting places and businesses and engages random passersby on the streets for interviews. Sumitani has received criticism for his over-the-top portrayal of gay men.
Above: Hard Gay's Father's Day special. It's as good an introduction as any to the leather-loving and extra loud Hard Gay
According to the teaser, Devil's Third won't be playable until this year's Tokyo Game Show in September. But GamesRadar will be meeting with the folks from THQ at E3 next week, where we might just have do a little hard gay investigating of our own.

Stopping the violence
The names of recent victims were read aloud; their memory was sounded by a bell.
For one Wenatchee man, Thursday night was about being a good father. Twenty years ago, his daughter and ex-wife were brutally murdered by a serial killer in their home. He says every day is difficult, but he's managed to keep their memory alive by helping others.
The vigil was held in Volunteer Park in Pasco. Sunday marked the start of "National Crime Victims Rights Week."

When they add value by putting in new floors and appliances, they help to fill a gap in the market.
Bruno Duarte in front of a house he is flipping in Oakland Park, Fla.. Flippers often improve the homes they purchase, boosting the price, but also the local housing market. "When I put a house back up for sale, it usually goes very quickly," the 34-year-old former stockbroker said.
Home flippers got a bad name during the housing boom. They sold properties for big profits in days or weeks, and the rapid price appreciation created a frenzy that led to the eventual bust.
But today's flippers are getting credit for helping the market recover. They're taking time to add value, sprucing up the landscaping and putting in new floors and appliances.
"When I put a house back up for sale, it usually goes very quickly," said Bruno Duarte, a 34-year-old former stockbroker.
"Prices since last year have risen a lot," he said. "Houses I used to buy for $70,000 or $75,000 cost $80,000 now. They're costing a little more to buy, but they're also selling for higher prices, too."
The best areas for flips are those where prices fell the most, industry observers say. In South Florida, for example, values tumbled by about half before hitting bottom in 2012. That year, flipped homes in the metro area of Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties had an average 37 percent gross profit, according to a recent study by RealtyTrac Inc. The firm counted a flip as a sale that occurred within six months of the previous transaction.
In many cases, flippers are paying cash for dilapidated properties that other buyers won't touch or can't get a lender to finance, said Daren Blomquist, a spokesman for RealtyTrac.
"There will always be some bad players, but overall, flippers seem like they're filling a necessary gap in the market," he said.
Although investors are enjoying robust returns, one problem these days is a lack of homes for sale.
Many owners are holding off until prices rise, or they can't sell because they're "underwater," owing more than the house is worth. Also, large investment funds have swooped into some markets and are buying foreclosed homes in bulk, depleting already-thin inventories.
Lex Levinrad, founder of the Boca Raton, Fla.-based Distressed Real Estate Institute, said individual investors looking for homes to buy should target short sales rather than bank-owned homes.
In a short sale, the homeowner needs the bank's permission to sell for less than the loan amount. To find delinquent homeowners in need of a short sale, investors can search public records or team with an experienced real estate agent, he said.
"Short sales are easier than foreclosures because there's not as much competition," said Levinrad, who trains investors. "Some of the best deals are short sales, hands down."

WASHINGTON, DC - House Energy and Commerce Committee leaders today expressed deep disappointment in response to President Obama's delay of the Keystone XL pipeline decision. Instead of approving the pipeline, and allowing this construction project to move forward and create a massive infusion of American jobs, the President refused to issue a decision on the Presidential Permit and continued to delay the project by directing the State Department to come up with an alternate route.
WASHINGTON, DC - Continuing this year's focus on job creation and innovative U.S. industries, members of Congress are announcing plans to host key energy policy experts to discuss the natural gas revolution that is creating American jobs and energy security. Scheduled for Monday, November 14, 2011 at 3 p.m. ET, this is the second installment of the Jobs and Innovation Forum series. Participants will engage in a roundtable discussion to explore how advances in shale gas technology have transformed U.S. natural gas markets and the entire energy landscape.

WASHINGTON, DC - Leaders of the House Energy and Commerce Committee today sent a bipartisan letter to the Rural Utilities Service (RUS) launching an investigation into the $267 million loan to Open Range Communications, made available by the 2002 Farm Bill.

Giving Kids an Equal Chance
What happens in children's earliest days and years has enormous influence on their lives--on their personal relationships, their ability to work with others, their emotional resilience, their academic success, and more.
More than half of Washington's children are not ready to succeed when they enter kindergarten, and many start school as much as two years behind their peers in language and learning skills. The achievement gap in our schools mostly harms low-income kids, students of color and those with limited English proficiency. Much of this unconscionable achievement gap is really a "preparedness gap" that already exists when children begin kindergarten.
By supporting children and their families during the early years, we know that we can positively affect the rest of their lives. Our goal is to make sure that all children get an equal chance at success and start kindergarten ready to learn.

I tried inserting the script itself into the html page and dividing up the script into a table - but that didn't work. Seems I need to actually program the table itself in the javascript language and not html. Anybody have a clue how I could do this?
I may be misunderstanding your question entirely, and I'm certainly no JavaScript wiz, but here is a simple example...
Two rows of two columns, each including a variable to be displayed:

var row1col1var = 'blue'; var row1col2var = 'widgets'; var row2col1var = 'green'; var row2col2var = 'widget';
document.write('
'); document.write('
' + row1col1var + '<\/td>' + row1col2var + '<\/td><\/tr>'); document.write('
' + row2col1var + '<\/td>' + row2col2var + '<\/td><\/tr>'); document.write('<\/table><\/center>'); </script>
Apart from that minor omission, a good answer, and the one that I would have given.
I did manage to figure it out though! I just had to adapt regular a html table to the javascript format - ended up looking like this - at the beginning of the quiz I added this:
"

Question 1",
then at the end of the line of script that I wanted to be the last question/image contained in column 1, I added
after the last question and image, a new line:
worked great!

I just found this part of the forum, and I'm hoping someone can help me with my vegetable garden.
I was completely overrun by squash bugs this summer. They were SO bad that they literally decimated my pumpkins, winter squash and summer squash. Another problem I had was these subterranean termites. ICK! They are EVERYWHERE - not just in the garden, but they feast on the roots of baby plants and older plants alike. The care not whether their food is dead or alive. Finally, the ants. I have several types of ants. Some seem to not bother anything, but the really big ones carry off my seed and eat my plants - no matter how big or small. Also, there are little black ants that like to live on my okra and beans. Haven't determined if they actually hurt anything though. I'd like to take care of my pests organically - or at least with as little chemicals as possible. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Termites don't eat live plants. Please post pictures so that we can help you determine what is running amok in your garden. Post images of the critters and of the plant damage please. |
Termites eat cellulose, most often that which is found in woody materials. Termites are needed to digest the fallen trees in the forest, but not the felled trees we build our houses of. So termites are not the problem in your garden, something else is. Ants are part of Ma Natures recycling machine and will work on most anything they determine to be waste. So even though you have ants in your garden they are not, really, a problem. Squash bugs, Squash Vine Borer, Cucumber Beetles, etc. can be real problems in any garden and the best defense is a good offense. Floating Row Covers an help as can encouraging beneficial or predator insects to hang around. Most all insecticides will kill off these beneficial/predators as well as the insect pests, however. This link to an ATTRA publication may be of soem help. |

Concierge.com's insider take:
In the old town of Maratea, this long-established restaurant has a very loyal following, so be sure to book a table in advance. The Lucanian specialties include stuffed peppers, game birds, local salami, and calamari fried in olive oil, hot pepper, and tomato paste. Finish in style with a cassata Lucana, a lighter, spongier version of the Sicilian ricotta and marzipan pudding (closed Tuesdays).

Running with Scissors (eBook)
Running with Scissors (eBook)
Running with Scissors is at turns foul and harrowing, compelling and maniacally funny. But above all, it chronicles an ordinary boy's survival under the most extraordinary circumstances.
Gratitude doesn't begin to describe it: Jennifer Enderlin, Christopher Schelling, John Murphy, Gregg Sullivan, Kim Cardascia, Michael Storrings, and everyone at St. Martin's Press. Thank you: Lawrence David, Suzanne Finnamore, Robert Rodi, Bret Easton Ellis, Jon Pepoon, Lee Lodes, Jeff Soares, Kevin Weidenbacher, Lynda Pearson, Lona Walburn, Lori Greenburg, John DePretis, and Sheila Cobb. I would also like to express my appreciation to my mother and father for, no matter how inadvertently, giving me such a memorable childhood. Additionally, I would like to thank the real-life members of the family portrayed in this book for taking me into their home and accepting me as one of their own. I recognize that their memories of the events described in this book are different than my own. They are each fine, decent, and hard-working people. The book was not intended to hurt the family. Both my publisher and I regret any unintentional harm resulting from the publishing and marketing of Running with Scissors. Most of all, I would like to thank my brother for demonstrating, by example, the importance of being wholly unique.
About the Author
Augusten Burroughs is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dry, Magical Thinking, and, most recently, Possible Side Effects, which were also New York Times bestsellers. Augusten has been named one of the fifteen funniest people in America by Entertainment Weekly. He lives in New York City and western Massachusetts.
Praise for Running with Scissors…
"I just finished reading the most amazing book. Running with Scissors is hilarious, freaky-deaky, berserk, controlled, transcendent, touching, affectionate, vengeful, all-embracing....It makes a good run at blowing every other [memoir] out of the water." --Carolyn See, The Washington Post
"Funny and rich with child's eye details of adults who have gone off the rails." --The New York Times Book Review
"It is as funny as it is twisted." --GQ
"A hilarious and horrifying memoir." --Los Angeles Times
"Harrowing and hilarious. I haven't laughed this much since David Sedaris's last book." --Haven Kimmel, author of A Girl Named Zippy
"Running with Scissors is a cut above...compelling...the book celebrates Burroughs' resilient, upbeat spirit, which helps him surmount one of the weirder childhoods on record." --USA Today
"The anecdotes can be so flippant, and so insanely funny (quite literally), that the effect is that of a William Burroughs situation comedy." --The New York Times
"Burroughs defies the 'woe is me' stigma of modern memoir with a raucous recounting of his loony teenage years." --Entertainment Weekly
"I was reminded of Roald Dahl's Boy and A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. Augusten Burroughs has produced a memoir that's funny and sharp but also humane, as charming as it is revealing." --Kurt Andersen, author of Turn of the Century
"A memoir that is both horrifying and mordantly funny." --San Francisco Chronicle
"Burroughs has memorialized his bizarre childhood showing off a dark wit that often rivals that 0of David Sedaris--while telling a true story that would make even Sedaris cringe." --New York Magazine
"Burroughs tempers the pathos with sharp riotous humor... Edgier, but reminiscent of Dave Eggers' A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, this is a survival story readers won't forget." --Booklist

Solar Flares and Lunar Intensity
Name: Kristopher Status: other Grade: 12+ Location: IN Country: USA Date: Spring 2014
Do solar flares affect the intensity of the moons reflection of sunlight?
Dear Kristopher,
Good question. Although a bright solar flair can increase the Sun's brightness very slightly, I think that the increase in reflected sunlight from the Moon would be negligible, at least unmeasurable.
David H. Levy
Solar "flares" are streams of both radiation and particles. Some of these strike Earth causing communication problems. Some also strike the Earth?s Moon.
Although I do not have specific data, it is unlikely that the impact of Solar flares would have a significant impact on the radiation in the VISIBLE part of the electromagnetic radiation (the small part we can see). None the less your inquiry is appropriate.

"I was skeptical, but these turned out great. I followed the recipe exactly, but added about 1/2 cup water halfway thru cooking. The potatoes turned out moist and tender with crispy edges.I served them with some shredded cheese and sour cream. Thanks for a tasty and very easy recipe!"
"I'll admit I was a little disappointed in this dish after all the rave reviews. I prepared it exactly as written, and while it was good, it wasn't great. The chicken was tender, but I thought it was also quite greasy. The sauce had a good flavor. I think I would definitely make the sauce again, but perhaps use boneless, skinless chicken breasts ne..."
"Very yummy! Made it for a barbecue and everyone loved it. I didn't use chocolate frosting because I forgot to buy it. Instead, I melted some dark chocolate chips with some heavy cream over a double boiler. The dark chocolate was a bit heavy for this dessert, so I'd probably use semisweet morsels or the chocolate frosting as written when I make it ..."
"I made this for a barbecue and received mixed reviews from the folks there. However, I loved it so I'm giving it five stars. It's fresh and light. I'm going to have the leftovers with some grilled chicken breasts tomorrow. Will definitely make again. Thanks!"
"I usually don't like breakfast casseroles because the eggs can take on a weird texture, but this was wonderful! I added a bit of ham that was left over and some garlic. We had it Christmas morning while the girls were opening gifts. Thanks so much for an easy, versatile recipe."

It's greed.
FOLLOW THE MONEY. Who profits from failed criminal justice and horrifically overcrowded prisons that are bankrupting California?
District attorneys and prosecutors who are promoted for winning cases and harsh sentences at any cost;
Tough-on-crime scare tactic politicians hoping for votes;
Guard employee unions;
For-profit-contract-bed-privatized-corporation prisons that profit from the high recidivism rate;
Parole department in California where everyone released is on parole;
Three strikes law that sends people to prison for 25+ years over petty crimes like stealing a pizza.
The bail bond industry that benefits from unnecessary criminal justice practices that increase incarceration;
Rigged line-ups that get faulty convictions and promote detectives;
Requirement to check prior-arrest/conviction boxes on employment, government, and rental applications for those who have been crime-free for years;
The list goes on.....
The Donovan prison in San Diego found a way to save lots and lots of money.
Their rehab, drug, and education programs reduced their recidivism rate from 70%! to 21%. Not only did the programs save salvageable lives, and the cost of so many ex-offenders returning to prison, but most important they reduced new
crime and new victims.
Using faulty logic and false economy funding for the programs was almost eliminated, How many new crimes would have been prevented if that decision had not been made?
By the way, Those convicted of murder are the least likely to recomit a crime once released.
I also recommend Joel Kotkin's excellent analysis on California politics ...
"The Golden State's War on Itself: How politicians turned the California Dream into a nightmare"
Regarding the two-thirds requirement for budgeting, taxation, and fees, I personally think much of this ultimately relates to California's overly-progressive Personal Income Tax (PIT) scheme and the state's over-reliance on a small minority of high-income taxpayers. Two-thirds of the state's taxpayers are effectively insulated from the true cost of operating the state government. Why? These same 2/3rds of taxpayers contribute just 6% to PIT revenues and PIT accounts for 55% of California's General Fund. If it's paid for from PIT revenues, fully 2/3rds of taxpayers pay $0.25 or less for every $1.00 of government. Meanwhile, the electorally-insignificant 1/3rd of high-income taxpayers accounts for the other 94% of PIT revenues. Who wouldn't want more government services and a bigger government if you never have to pay for it? Here's more of my analysis.

January 28, 2015
An Australian billionaire says he plans to build a near-perfect replica of what is perhaps the most famous ship in history: Titanic.
Clive Palmer, shown here in 2010, says his company Blue Star Line has begun plans on the new Titanic.
Palmer says the company is already in negotiations with a Chinese ship-building group to make "Titanic Two" a reality.
When it's finished, the ship will resemble the replica museum of the original cruise liner.
Palmer says that while the new Titanic will look much like the original, it will be fully-equipped with modern technology.
Palmer says the ship will make its maiden voyage from England to North America in 2016, taking the same route as the doomed ship that sank 100 years ago this month.
The company has not said how much it will spend to build the new Titanic.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Ruby!
Facts about Ruby
- Breed: Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog Mix
- Color: Black - With Brown, Red, Golden, Orange Or Chestnut
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Ruby's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Ruby is gorgeous and a very easy pup to care for, once she gets acclimated to your home. She's fantastic with other dogs and is very submissive. She's a beautiful Australian shepherd mix, and she's so much fun to play with in the yard because she runs so fast and loves to chase the ball! She's an awesome girl and if you meet her, I guarantee you'll fall in love with her.
Other Pets at BFF Pet Adoptions
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Ruby, a Silsbee Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog for sale in Silsbee, or seeking a Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog puppy from a breeder in Silsbee.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Silsbee already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Silsbee breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog breeders who help with Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Silsbee paves the way for another one to be saved.

It's finally happening. Geotargeting is melding with e-commerce. How can you harness the power of geotargeted campaigns?
We've been talking about it for years, now it's finally happening. Geotargeting is melding with e-commerce. How you do harness the power of geotargeted campaigns?
Two Levels of Granularity
With geotargeting, granularity and immediacy are important. By granularity, I mean geographic precision. Is it important for you to know what city (or Zip Code) users are in? Or do you need to know their actual street address? In either case, what can you offer users based on this level of knowledge?
Immediacy is a related concept. Do you need to know where users generally are, or is it important to know where they are right now?
For years, companies have been able to ascertain the Zip Code people are in primarily from their IP address or other implicit means. Others simply ask users where they are. Either way, once you know where people live, it's intuitive to begin tailoring advertising based on their location.
For instance, many of Bedbathstore.com's promotions are location based. When I went to the site to research this column, the top banner said, "Welcome NY visitors. Enjoy Tax Free Shopping Today!" Somehow the site knew where I was from (I've never logged into the site or given it any information). It then tailored an ad based on some of the reasons New Yorkers would shop online: high sales tax in New York.
A multichannel retailer with a lot of brick-and-mortar stores could take advantage of this to proactively tell users about stores near them. Additionally, in-store specials specific to the local store could be shown with the Web merchandise. Of course, this requires coordination on the back end that most stores don't have at the moment.
Here's another example: We were hired a couple of years ago by a very well-known beverage company. It wanted to know why so many people were coming to its site without the intention to buy. Through a lot of analysis, we determined a person's motivation to use the site was directly related to that person's proximity to the company's closest store. In other words, users who lived more than, say, 20 miles from a store location were more likely to buy online. Those who lived closer were more likely to look online to see what was going on at a local store, get hours, directions, and the like. In this company's case, being able to target promotions to users based on their address and their proximity to a physical store would prove extremely beneficial.
Going to the Next Level
Apple's iPhone has a location tracker in it. The much-anticipated 3G version of the phone will have even more location-based services in it. So, what can you do based on the immediate knowledge of the user's current location?
When the Palm VII came out in the late '90, some companies set up kiosks that sent infrared signals to the Palm and gave you location-specific information. Vendors at conferences used this functionality to download whitepapers and such to a prospect's Palm.
With real location-based services, any Web site (when loaded from a geo-tracking device) could highlight local store specials, menus, or other location-based services.
Beyond this, one can easily imagine a third-party tool that analyzes the kinds of stores or restaurants you frequent, then makes recommendations when you're traveling.
For instance, a geo-location tracker on my iPhone could sense that I often eat in French restaurants here in New York. The next time I'm traveling, I could ask the application to find good restaurants nearby, and it would weight French restaurants heavier because it knows I prefer them.
Geotargeting works on a number of different levels. If you have the kind of products and services that lend themselves to the immediacy and granularity of GPS-level locations, the infrastructure is now here to support that level of personalization.
On the other hand, if your promotions can be tailored based on general location (and the granularity of the user's specific and immediate street address is overkill), that's good too.
Either way, this dimension of personalization can show dramatic lifts to your business.

I just watched the episode from Miami where you offer to be a surrogate for Khloe. I am going in on Thursday to have my sisters baby transferred into me. Totally crazy…but after 6 years of watching her suffer, I felt I had to help her. I live in Simi Valley and have 3 kids of my own. Dr. Bustanfar was her doctor for her first 3 IVF attempts. Good luck with everything…I hope things work out for Khloe!!!!!

I love the V-neck, because the thermal top won't show under my V-necked sweaters. I love the silky nylon outer fabric, because everything just glides over it compared to typical dept. store thermals that make you feel bulky and stuck inside awkward layers. For some reason, (the cotton/nylon blend?) this does the BEST job at keeping you warm without any perspiring, and I really appreciate that. (Some thermals kept me warm, but I was almost getting too hot; or they weren't very breathable.) This is exceptionally breathable! I wear this everyday around the house, as well as on dressy occasions, because it is such a slim, silky underlayer it literally does not show under even your nice clothes.

About Me Mom Needs Warmth, Never 'bunch Up', Never Too Hot, Smoothe Under Clothes
Comments about Lace Trim Thermal Top:
My wonderful little 94-year-old mom wears these 24/7 ... she says that they keep her "bones warm" all four seasons ... They wash beautifully and never get that 'grey' look ... the seams are good so they don't come apart after a few washings ...Best of all, no one can see that she has them on under her clothes which makes her very happy!

About Me Comfort-oriented, Conservative, Practical
This silky top is perfect under a blouse or sweater because it doesn't ride up on the sleeves and is a warm top with just a jacket for cool weather. And, when it does get colder at night, I like to wear the set as alternate PJ's because you can turn in bed without getting tangled in the sheets and stay nice & warm. I would definately recommend these items to anyone who wants comfortable "warm underwear".
I will buy this again

North Florida can have some bitter winter weather. These are comfortable to wear under wool suits, and do not make you feel like you have on too many clothes. They are not binding. And if the electricity goes off in the winter time, they can be worn under pajamas for an extra layer of warmth.

Cuddl Duds erases that drafty, cold feeling and makes you comfortable. It slides thinly under anything you are wearing and is the "go-to" base layer. Machine washes with ease. I gave it to my 94 year old Mom, myself and a lucky adult niece--thrilled at being cozy. Excellent present anytime of the year! And it's pretty!

My CuddleDugs thermal tops in black and blush feel wonderful against my skin, no matter how long I wear them. I am so relieved to find them, as just about everything under the sun itches me.I wear the black CuddlDuds thermal top showing under a stretch black blazer. It's cute as can be and the black is a true black.The blush color is nothing I would want anyone to see--it is more of an ecru and looks very "underweary".

We're about to move again, and were thinking of flat towing the Jeep (03 Wrangler, stock except for 285's) behind the Taco. We'll be going from NC to ID, so it's going to be a long haul.
It's an 07 with the towing package, and I've towed before, just not with this truck. I've read over the towing bible on here, and was curious to see if anybody else has done this. I've read about something called a Brake Buddy, mostly for RV's and such but for what one costs, I could be a long way into a good trailer with brakes.
Other options are a dolly or car hauler from a u-haul type place. Any input you guys have is appreciated.

The company reported a 27 per cent lift in its net profit to AED 65,308,527 on a turnover of AED 80,896,564 for the year ended 31 March 2007.
At the same time, Shareholders' Equity rose from AED 361,540,904 to AED 428,575,055, up approximately 18.5% over 31 March 2006.
Board Chairman HE Ali Bin Khalfan Al Dhahry told the shareholders that it has been an extremely busy time for Injaz Mena. "The company has completed 19 private equity and real estate deals since inception and moved into the lucrative property development market offshore over the past 12 months.
"The Asian and Eastern European property developments are already proving to be wise investments with IRRs greater than forecast. We have also achieved some spectacular returns for our clients from shareholdings in companies identified as having great potential, such as the 63% received in 14 months from SMARTRAC NV.
"Our performance in the equity capital markets, based on risk diversification across regions around the globe, has been equally sound, substantially mitigating the downturn experienced in the UAE and other regional stock markets."
The year under review generated a solid return for Injaz Mena and its co-investors, says Injaz Mena CEO Ahmed Al Dhahry.
"Our performance overall needs to be put in the context of where we have come from – from a startup just 19 months ago to becoming a well respected financial institution with a full book of business, efficient infrastructure and a highly talented team of employees," he said.
"The proof of our success is perhaps best illustrated by the growing number of international institutions who want to do business with Injaz Mena, both as co-investors and as strategic partners."

Charles Fréger. Neri Oxman creates 3D-printed structures for interplanetary voyages. Neri Oxman's team at MIT Media Lab has created four 3D-printed "wearable skins" designed to facilitate synthetic biological processes that might one day allow humans to survive on other planets.

Industrial designer Naomi Kizhner has developed a concept for an invasive jewellery collection that converts kinetic energy from the body's involuntary movements into electricity (+ slideshow).
Naomi Kizhner designed the Energy Addicts accessories in response to the world's impending energy crisis, looking for an existing energy source that is yet to be tapped in to. "It interested me to imagine what would the world be like once it has experienced a steep decline in energy resources and how we will feed our energy addiction," Kizhner told Dezeen. "There are lots of developments of renewable energy resources, but the human body is a natural resource for energy that is constantly renewed, as long as we are alive.

Creepy Black Balloon Will Follow You, Repeat Your Convos. How terrifying would it be to turn around and see a levitating black balloon following your every move and repeating the last conversation you just had? Royal College of Art student Francesco Tacchini, in collaboration with designers Julinka Ebhart, and Will Yates Johnson, created exactly that, and called it Space Replay. The hovering balloon is stuffed with a battery-powered Arduino, an Adafruit Wave Shield hacked to record and playback, and a speaker.
The components were sealed within a plastic cone to both amplify the sound and protect the balloon from the wires and other pointy objects. A small amount of helium was added to let the balloon hover, but no so much that it would soar above people's heads. The Adafruit Wave Shield records ambient sounds and plays them back with a short delay, turning a sort of phonic mirror on the people in the space around it.

Anyone have a suggestion for a vine that likes the shade, flowers loved but not a requirement? I bought a trellis to camouflage an ugly downspout and am looking for a vine for it. I had planned on clematis, but there is more shade than I realized. I live in Contra Costa County, where it is hot and dry in the summer and cold (some frost) in the winter. I might just get a smallish clematis and hope for the best--I asked this question on the Vines forum but I thought I'd try here as well. I have heucheras and juncus nearby, which are doing well. |

Chilean jasmine is nice and not too crazy. Maybe an asarina if you want something other than a white flower, those come in white, pink, and purple / blue. Maybe one of the milder less crazy passion flower vines. Annie's Annuals has a good choice of vines for our climate. I'm in Wildcat Canyon in Contra Costa County and the air gets a chill at night so I need hardier stuff for when it freezes. I'd love to have a solandra. I tried two but they tanked when it got cold and they disappeared. |
Love vines! Clematis is the only one I would consider non-aggressive. I imagine in deep shade the result would be spindly growth. If the huecheras do well maybe it's not as dark as I imagine. Vinca minor is an aggressor here and will grow up a support. Do you have room for a pot at the base of the trellis? Maybe a narrow screen could be used. |

This is a clematis I photographed yesterday in Mill Valley that was on an iron fence adjacent to a white flowering variety. It was fairly compact but I cannot grow them. Too chilly, I have a perennial one on the fence that I cannot get rid of that does not do much. Cobaea vines are gorgeous but a little on the nuts side if happy. Easy to keep in the form you desire though. |
pandorea jasminoides I think it might bloom better with sun but there is one growing on the north side of an eight foot tall fence at my parents house. It needs tied to the trellis at first. It blooms enough to enjoy. |
Try a Trachelospermum jasminoides Chinese star-jasmine Evergreen dark green glossy leaves, fragrant white star flowers in summer. Can be cut back slow growing. |
Thanks, everyone, for your suggestions. I have decided to take a chance with clematis after all. I found one called Lemon Bells at Digging Dog Nursery and decided to take a chance on it. I have trachelospermum growing elsewhere in my yard and love the way it smells when it's in bloom. I had a couple of the pink-throated pandorea vines that I gave away because I couldn't find a place for them, long before I thought of putting a vine by the downspout. I think the clematis, if it is happy in this spot, will look beautiful with the heuchera. |

The Government Railway Police on Thursday arrested members of an inter-State gang, who drugged passengers and relieved them of valuables.
The GRP chanced upon the gang while making regular security checks at the Chennai Central station.
The four- member gang, belonging to Kolkata, were involved in two cases of doping passengers on the Mumbai – Kanyakumari Express and the Jayanthi Janatha Express, relieving them of a laptop, gold chain, gold rings and Rs.2,000, worth Rs.70,000 in all.
K.C. Mahali, Inspector General of Police, GRP, addressing reporters here on Friday, said the gang would travel on trains and befriend passengers. They would give them tea or cool drinks laced with sedatives.
Their modus operandi was similar to that of the 'biscuit bandits,' who were active till a few years ago. The GRP arrested two other persons involved in chain snatching and robberies on suburban trains. Gold chains valued at Rs.1.04 lakh were recovered.
Independence Day arrangements
Mr. Mahali said elaborate security arrangements were being made in all railway stations in the State in coordination with the Railway Protection Force for Independence Day celebrations.
Frisking of passengers and checking their baggage had been intensified at the entry points of major stations. Empty train coaches were being checked using sniffer dogs before being brought to platform.
More than 1,200 railway police personnel were being deployed and regular open line patrol was being organised along with personnel of the Revenue Department and railway gang men. Armed guards would travel on major express trains.

What do you all think of the Mark AR line of scopes from Leupold. Are they worth the difference in price in comparison to say the Nikons in the mid $200 range? My budget for a target scope is about $250 with mounts and all. But I saw the mark AR line and I'm wondering if it pays to hold out and save a bit more.

i havent had great luck with leupold optics the last few years. but they do honor their warranty. both of the ones ive sent back have been repaired fairly promptly. they arent as rugged as their price point suggests they are in my opinion. as for the mark AR series... i dunno i just think you can do better elsewhere leupold is off my buy list atm.

Glad I asked. I would have assumed that their quality would be worth the value. I am honing in on the Nikon p223. I think it will serve me purpose as a good medium range target scope for my PWS MK1, say from 50-200 yards. At least it won't hurt my pocket too much if I turn out to be wrong.
