How's it going?
You never called me back. I left messages.
You did? I didn't know that. Donald seems to think--
There's two things that aggravate me: being ignored and being lied to.

They're not. I trusted you.

I need a paycheck. And I've looked.
When you spend 6 years raising babies, it's hard to get a job that pays.
Are you getting this down, honey? Or am I talking too fast for you?
I'm sorry about that.

Bullshit. If you had a full staff, you'd return a client's damn call.

Why Georgia is not start of 'Cold War II'
Despite tensions over missile deals and NATO expansion, the West's ties with Russia are far more nuanced than in Soviet days.
Two weeks into the Georgia crisis, Russia maintains leverage, adroitly playing a great game of obfuscation and tit-for-tat – both militarily and diplomatically – with a disunited West struggling to determine whether this is a new cold war.
Vladimir Putin's idea of the 21st century appears different from that described by President Bush in calling for Russia to withdraw. As NATO officials this week fought to show strong support for Georgia without irreparably damaging ties to Russia, the "new world order" described by Mr. Bush's father as the Soviet empire collapsed seems a faint memory.
Yet while Russia's action has been termed a new cold war, that concept doesn't capture the dramatic global changes since Mikhail Gorbachev disbanded the Soviet Union in 1991, say diplomats and Russian area specialists. In a more globalized world, Russia is at once a competitor, a partner, and an opponent.
"It is the greatest challenge for any statesman today to see what is the right priority," says Pierre Hassner, a Paris-based scholar ofEast-West relations. "Is it Iran, Russia, the price of oil, terrorism? It may in some ways look like the cold war again – but the context today is blurred past recognition."

So far this year, my melon production is not where it was last year. The plants are healthy & looking great, but there are just not many fruit developing. I notice many small non pollinated fruit turning yellow & falling off.
The weather here in central VA has been quite hot, does that have an effect on the pollinators? Just a thought/question for the future....Would it be a good idea to plant maybe a 4X4 area in the middle of my melon patch with clover, or some other flower that might attract bees? If clover, will it still be in bloom in July when I need it? I grow it every year as a winter cover crop, and it is in full bloom in early spring... Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Harry V |
Follow-Up Postings:
Actually, I suspect you've already figured out that pollination is the problem, more so than the heat. Hand pollinating might help you this year -- although IMO, that's a solution only for the small home crop! NTL, it really doesn't take all that long to do, it's just an achy-back chore. See link for details; if you aren't saving seed, skip the "close the female" step and just get busy with the male flower. I suspect that you would be better off with a variety of bee-attracting flowers instead of a single square. Unless you're into large-machine agribusiness, monoculture is never a good idea in any category. However, if 4x4 is the only space you have, build it up into a small pyramid (to give you more surface planting area) and put in an assortment of long-flowering annuals; you *might* be able to find some now at a local nursery. Marigolds, salvias, and zinnias are the most carefree with long blooming periods. If you grow the melons on A-frames, trellis or fencing, next year try interspersing with vine beans such as fortex or scarlet runner (fortex is good eating, SR is pretty) or even a disease resistent lima such as fordhook. Beans are superb for attracting bees and will also act as nitrogen-fixers to enrich the soil. |

Thanks Meldy, Didn't mean to put this in the VA Forum. It's just a small home garden, I would guess my melon patch is about 20X20, 4 plants of 2 different varieties of cantaloupes & 2 watermelons. The flowers/clover would have been smack dab in the middle, just to get the bees in the area, then maybe they'd visit the melons. Sure is hot for high noon out there! Harry, |
Why not in VA forum; you're here; we're here! Hot up here too, feels worse than the thermometer says, humidity must be wa-a-a-y up! For the fun of it: http://web.live.weatherbug.com/Broadcaster/1/Home.aspx?zcode=z4798&list=1&lid=BSL Put your city in the box to get a pretty good forecast: http://www.srh.noaa.gov/forecasts/VAZ053.php?warncounty=VAC059&city=Annandale And since we are supposed to get some rain, some time, some where.... [Virginia is in the rightmost sector in the first row of regional sectors] http://www.weather.gov/radar_tab.php |
My cantaloupe are flowering like crazy but not making fruit. The bees have busy in the summer squash, although even that does not have as many fruit as I would expect. Does anyone know if having the melon and squash so close is making cross pollination problems that is keeping it sterile? I have not yet tried to self pollinate them (haven't had time after I'm done weeding). |

Ransom Everglades basketball star Sam Singer commits to Cal
Sam Singer has put up impressive scoring numbers on the basketball court the past two seasons at Ransom Everglades.
His efforts have made him one of the highest-recruited shooting guards in the country.
Singer chose his college destination Tuesday when he committed to the University of California. Singer, a 6-5 shooting guard, is ranked No. 45 nationally among prospects at his position by ESPN.
Singer was one of the top scorers in the nation his junior season leading Miami-Dade County among Class 4A-1A schools with a 34.1 points per game average. That ranked second overall in the county to Carol City grad and University of Miami freshman Deandre Burnett (36.2).
Singer, also a solid distributor on the court, averaged 7.7 assists per game last year and 6.2 as a sophomore. That season, he also averaged 6.4 rebounds and 21.4 points per game.
Singer said he has over 30 schools interested including offers from Stanford, Richmond, Harvard and Davidson. Singer entered this school year with a 3.4 GPA.
But after two visits to Cal, Singer said he loved the combination of the school's solid academics and athletics.
Singer hopes to lead Ransom further in the playoffs this season after the Raiders were eliminated in the district semifinals last year.
"The Pac-12 is one of the best conferences in the country to play in and I feel like California is a great school and a great fit for me," Singer said. "Only one thing left to do my senior year. We didn't do so well last year, but we're all working hard to finish better this time."

Help!! I have a huge drainage culvert at the back of my property. I am currently trying to develop it with a few low maintenance plants. I have quite an extensive rose bed in the front yard but I do not want to be spraying and pruning the area behind the house secondary to time constraints. I am considering anchoring the whole area with a couple of Mermaid roses. My questions are: Will it do well on an enbankment? Does it tend to be defoliated by BS? In pictures it seems to get quite large, which will detract from the unsightlyness of the culvert. I live in South East Alabama. High heat 8 monthes of the year and this year anyway No Water. If you have any experience with this rose in a similar situation please let me know.
Thanks in Advance Dennis |

I think it will be very difficult to grow any rose with out supplemental water unless you have regular rain. Concerning Mermaid, it is a large flowered voracious climber with heavily thorned brittle stems. Given its head it is a beautiful well scented rose. I cannot tell you about its desease resistance. It is a hybrid tea. |
Mermaid is classified as a Hybrid Bracteata. I grow it near Birmingham, Alabama and it does really well in our heat, but it does need supplemental water.Once mature, I suspect that it won't, given the size that it will eventually grow to. |
It will get real big, and once established will likely do well with neglect. However, it is one of the last roses I would want to have to weed around, etc., so be careful with it in that location. I personally wouldn't use it, but if you rarely go back there, then it should work. I would tend to think of natives for that type of area. For roses, I might be tempted to put in the one of the Banksiae varieties, although they are once blooming. Also, deer don't like to eat the Banksiae as much. If you want a bush variety, then I would go with one of the chinas like Mutabilis, C Superieur, or a tea like BR Cant. |

SANTA ANA – An Orange County court has authorized an arrest warrant for a once-powerful sports agent, who represented, among others, football Hall of Famers Troy Aikman and Steve Young.
According to court documents, Leigh Steinberg, one of the most powerful agents in pro sports in the 1990s, owes the Irvine Co. $1.4 million for unpaid rent, which it has not been able to collect.
The Irvine Co. was awarded the amount in its civil suit against Steinberg for breach of lease, court documents say.
Superior Court Commissioner Jane Myers last week authorized the warrant for failure to appear. The warrant only becomes effective upon payment of fees and when other procedural steps are taken.
Steinberg said in a telephone interview Thursday afternoon he was surprised by the development and is seeking a new court date.
"This is the biggest nonstory," he said. "Why people would be interested, I am not sure."
Steinberg said he is struggling financially and is rebuilding his business but is hardly in hiding. He is not difficult to reach, has a public website (steinbergsports.com) and thousands of friends on Facebook and followers on Twitter, Steinberg said.
"I give speeches every week, and I go to the office every week," he said.
The man who was the inspiration for Tom Cruise's character in the movie "Jerry McGuire" said he was surprised by the interest in him.
"Oh, my God ... I don't think I should replace (in the news) the death of Kim Jong Il and the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq and the question of whether the payroll tax should be extended," Steinberg said.
Irvine Co. attorney Brooke Brandt declined to comment on the case Thursday, citing pending litigation.
"While in the public eye, (Steinberg) can host a grand Super Bowl party, at apparent great expense, yet process servers cannot seem to make direct contact with him," Brandt says in court documents. "He appears to have a phalanx of security protection around him that prevents servers from gaining access to him unless he allows it."
Steinberg said he found the statement "hilarious."
"You can walk right into my office" in Irvine, he said.
A 1994 Orange County Register story on Steinberg reported that since becoming a sports agent in 1975, he had been featured by everyone from "60 Minutes" and the "Today Show" to "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous," which featured his 1985 wedding and profiled him again in 1992.
"Young football players dream of someday being Steinberg clients like Troy Aikman or and Steve Young. Steinberg believes their middle-aged fathers dream about being Steinberg," the story said.
"I sign a lot of autographs. I've got my own card," he told the Register.

I love that cheery blue! This build is going on my list!
Make a room divider cubby system to organize an entire room. Free easy step by step plans.
Projects built from this plan. Thank you for submitting brag posts, it's appreciated by all!
12 – 1x12 @ 6 feet long OR 8 1x12 @ 10 feet long
10 – 1x2 @ 6 feet long
100 - 1 1/4" pocket hole screws
1 1/4" finish nails
Wood glue
Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!
2 – 1x12 @ 70 1/2"
4 – 1x12 @ 69 3/4"
2 – 1x12 @ 72"
2 – 1x2 @ 70 1/2"
20 1x12 @ 13 1/2"
4 – 1x2 @ 69"
4 – 1x2 @ 72"
Make sure you have a flat workspace at least six feet by six feet for building this bookshelf. Make all large cuts first, followed by smaller cuts. Drill all pocket holes prior to assembly. Use glue on all joints.
Mark top and bottom boards as shown in diagram, carefully measuring to make sure there is a 13 ½" gap between all shelves. Also drill pocket holes on both ends of top and bottom prior to assembly. It will be difficult to drill pocket holes once attached to the project.
Attach sides to the sides, using 1 1/4" pocket holes and glue. Adjust the entire project for square by taking a diagonal from opposite outside corners, ensuring both diagonals match in length (see last step).
Use 1 1/4" finish nails and glue to attach bottom support trim to bottom. Also nail through the sides into ends for additional support.
Drill 3/4" pocket holes on each end of each shelf. Mark shelf locations on all sides and upright boards. Attach shelves with 1 1/4" pocket hole screws and wood glue. TIP: Alternate drilling pocket holes offset on each end so screws do not line up exactly when you go to place shelves. IF you do have a situation where screws bump into each other, just drill another pocket hole offset.
This frame actually adds considerable stablility to the project. First, build the frame with pocket holes. Then apply glue TIP: I like to rest the frame over the project, trace it's shape over the shelves, remove and then I have marks to guide me in applying glue. Nail face frame on with 1 1/4" finish nails and glue. Take this one final opportunity to check for square.
Do to the size of this project, you may need to elevate it on cork or felt pads to keep it level and from "rocking". Cork or felt pads also protect floors.
WARNING: Due to size, make sure this project is secured to wall to prevent tipping injury.

My question is: What is more structurally sound...having the horizontal weight-bearing shelves be resting on the screws, or should the whole design be rotated 90 degrees so that the weight-bearing shelves rest on wood instead of only screws? I guess it wouldn't really matter in the end, as we probably won't be storing baby elephants on the shelves, but it's just a question I have. Thanks for the post!
amykelmann replied on Permalink
I second that thought....is there a good reason NOT to turn it?
claydowling replied on Permalink
I think your plan will be a lot more sound, Brian. This is probably strong enough as-is, but the added strength won't hurt and might help.
Another option is egg-crate construction. The tools to do that are a bit more advanced though, and you should check YouTube for some instruction on doing it.
Ana White replied on Permalink
Hi Brian, this could be built either way, but the full vertical sides actually bear the weight of all the shelves, transferring the weight of the shelf contents down to the ground. The pocket hole screws are extremely strong and hold shelves up of much wider widths. Also, by going this route, all pocket holes are hidden to the underside. That said, there's no reason you could not go the other way. Hope this makes sense!
Happy Holidays! Ana
Brian replied on Permalink
I understand your comment, but I'm more interested in the strength of the wood instead of the necessary shear force to bust the screws. But like I said, I don't think much being stored on the shelves would cause an issue either way.
BTW...what's the weather in Alaska like? I need to travel to Anchorage for my job on Jan. 9. I'm pretty pumped about it.
Thanks again!
Ryan Griffin replied on Permalink
Actually it would be better to rotate this shelving unit. Ana mentioned that the holes would be visible, but not if hidden with the wood filler as suggested in the plan. In either case the weight will be transferred to the vertical pieces but, by rotating, it will prevent any gaps that may open along the perimeter of the individual shelves. Just open up the .skp file, rotate the unit, export a new .jpg and upload to your site ;).
If you are going to stain the unit, just insert the appropriate sized dowel and careful saw off the excess with a dovetail saw or a sharp chisel. Sand this smooth and stain away!

I've been looking for a piece like this for my own bedroom. Thanks for sharing this.

Melinda Greer replied on Permalink
Ana-I would love to build this to store my scrapbooks A 12x12 3 ring binder measures 13x15. It is hard to find shelves with this depth the don't cost an arm and leg.
What would it take to change the plan to make it deep enough to store this albums. Make it from Plywood?
claydowling replied on Permalink
Plywood would be an excellent material for deeper shelves. You'll need a good plywood cutting jig, and you'd want a way to dress the front of the shelves too, because the edge of the plywood is unappealing. Solid wood would look nice, but heat-activated edge banding would also work.

I agree that plywood would make an excellent candidate for this unit. Instead of the pocket holes/screws, you could use a table saw or router to make dados for some added strength. Another option for covering the exposed edges of the plywood would be to face it out with some 1x stock. Kids are so rough on furniture, edge banding veneer may peel off over time.
The facing would look something like this...
about being able to use for scrapbook supplies, my husband said the same thing, that we could use ply and trim out with wood like we did in our livingroom. i would like to show you pictures but can't get them to load.

Can anyone give a rough estimate on cost to build this?
exuma_momma replied on Permalink
Hi Lisa,
My rough cost for this was about $250 after the paint and everything. I will say this though, some of my materials cost a bit more than they do in the US because I live on a little island in the Bahamas and everything has to be imported. Hopefully this will give you a ball park though.
Good luck!
Guest replied on Permalink
I can't see it costing much more than 100. Those are basic boards sold at Home Depot or Lowes.
exuma_momma replied on Permalink
You're probably right about that...but I don't have a home depot or lowes in the Bahamas... the $250 was my rough costs for supplies there, as I mentioned. Definitely shouldn't cost that much in the US. Hope this helps.

I wonder how good this will look if you make it look like old barn wood by beating the wood and staining it? I'm thinking I will have to try it!!!
Morgangarvin replied on Permalink
I am beginning this project. I can tell in both the picture of the blue cubby whole piece and in the diagram that the outide pieces (70 1/2in and 72 in) are thicker than 1 inch. Did you use 2x12 for those instead of 1X12?
exuma_momma replied on Permalink
The frame was build with the 1x12, and then we added a 1x2 frame around the entire piece to give it that finished look. That's what makes it look like it is a 2x board. Hope this helps. Good Luck!

I'm a real beginner with this stuff. If I wanted to leave the middle part open like this room divider would I need to change anything? Also considering adding doors to the lower shelves for more concealed storage.

This shampoo is very drying, even for a toning shampoo, and since it's also one of the most ineffective ones I've tried I see no reason to repurchase.

The only reason I'm saying I would buy this product again is because it was dirt cheap (I got it at Winners) for a huge bottle, and so far it has kept my blonde highlights from fading. However, I do not recommend it for dry hair because my hair feels almost like straw when I rinse it, and the only saving grace I have is that I use leave in conditioners and Morrocanoil, and a good deep conditioner. Overall, I would not pay full price for this, and I think a shampoo for color treated hair would be better than this silver shampoo for blonde hair.

FIS™ (NYSE: FIS), the world's largest provider of banking and payments technology, continues to lead the way in EMV production and transitions across the United States. Having launched EMV programs for more than 50 financial institutions over the last 12 months, FIS provides implementation and issuance programs for providers looking to upgrade to the EMV standard used across most of the world. FIS also issues EMV-enabled cards in Canada, Aruba, Brazil, Mexico and the U.K.
Smart cards, sometimes known as chip cards or EMV-enabled cards, are embedded with microprocessors that contain information needed to use the cards for payment. Standard across much of the world, smart cards are more secure than magnetic strip cards as the chip only transmits information during a transaction, thus making a user's payment information less likely to be compromised – particularly important in light of recent major breaches at retailers.
So far, U.S. retailers have been slow to adopt EMV cards, although numbers are increasing; Visa reported that it had issued 3.5 million EMV cards through the first quarter of 2013, up from just one million in 2011. In addition more consumers are requesting the cards for international travel.
"Smart card technology is the way of the future; it's vital in mitigating card-present fraud; it offers greater spending convenience to people traveling overseas, where EMV already is standard; and it allows the U.S. to move to more secure processing of card transactions," said Bob Woodbury, SVP and General Manager, FIS Payments Networks. "FIS' vast experience issuing EMV cards worldwide and its breadth of expertise in migrating financial institutions and payment systems to EMV compliance make it a leading partner in bringing smart cards to U.S. markets."
FIS has taken a leading role in several EMV initiatives that support financial institutions, retailers, government entities and individual consumers:- Helping drive the adoption of an interoperable EMV standard for debit payment networks. Through its NYCE Payments Network, FIS is one of 10 founding members of the Debit Network Alliance (DNA). A collaborative effort of 10 of the largest debit PIN networks, Debit Network Alliance is working to create a standard for EMV debit card processing that will meet Durbin Amendment rules and allow for an open and competitive debit network marketplace. Bob Woodbury has been elected DNA board chair.
- Launching EMV-based payment mechanisms designed to support overseas travel and extensive personalization of debit and credit cards. FIS' convenient Travel EMV Prepaid Card program allows banks to quickly and easily sell prepaid smart cards to customers without implementation costs.
- Processing contactless, smart card payments for merchants and government entities including a pilot of the Las Vegas area transportation system, whereby consumers use FIS-processed contactless, smart cards to pay transportation fares.
- Teaching financial institutions how to develop cost-effective strategies for smart card migration through educational seminars and workshops nationwide.

I'm an avid user and believer in both the Naked 1 & 2 Palettes, so when I heard about the Naked Basics palette with all MATTE shades, I was like Whaaa!??? So excited!! I picked one of these little guys up the other day, and of course, I love it! Just like I knew I would. The colors are ultra pigmented (at least on me) and they blend nicely. They're super soft and velvety, and never chalky. My go to shades are definitely Virgin for highlight, WOS for an all over lid/base shade, and I'll often use Faint with a light hand - I'll just throw a little bit in my crease and go. These colors together create a flawless, everyday, go-to natural look for me. The palette is cute and small and fits nicely in my hand, so it's very travel friendly and can definitely be tossed in a purse and pulled out for touchups throughout the day.
Another thing I love about this palette is that you can go from day to night with the snap of your fingers. If you're out and get a last minute invite to grab dinner or a drink, you can just run into the bathroom and pop some of the "Crave" (matte black) shade in your crease or in your outer corners and BOOM - you go from day to night like that. This is a very versatile palette, and the only complaint I have is similar to that of many - I wish they wouldn't have included both WOS and Foxy. WOS has pink undertones, and Foxy has yellow. Those are both decent all over lid/base shades, but I feel like they could have included a nice matte grey shade instead of both of those shades. Meh. I guess I can't complain much. At least UD finally gave us some matte shades! Also, I found a pretty good use for Foxy - sometimes I'll use it to set my undereye concealer, because the yellow undertones are just perfect for such. I will continue to use/love this palette, and would repurchase tomorrow.
The first thing that drew me to this was the size of the product - I thought it would be perfect for travel (I haven't used it yet for this, but I believe it will be great). I also loved the neutral shades and believe it's a great companion to the Naked 1 and 2 (also love those!).
In the past, I've usually bought cheap neutral palettes and would just get bored with them and eventually leave them to collect dust. However, this one is entirely different. The shades work great with my very fair skin and I can create a daily natural look that I think is very flattering. I actually look forward to putting on my eye makeup because of how this consistently works. The shadows are always high quality, and I'm impressed with their staying power (paired with an eyeshadow primer).
I have a feeling that this will last me ages, but I will definitely repurchased when I need to!
This product is perfect to use when you cant decide which neutral to use. I have both naked pallette that i use everyday but i decide to use this coz this is more convenient when im in rush and didnt want to choose which neutral to go for. The best part is the packaging. Its very convinient to put in a purse for work or if you want to travel light.

I like the colors and the blendability of this product but they are very powdery which shocked me for the price. My other urban decay items are wonderful. Maybe i got a bad batch

I didn't think twice about buying this palette because there isn't a color that I wouldn't use. So i purchased this in January and I don't even use my NAKED 1 palette as often anymore. I have fair skin and all these colors are perfect for me.
+ Naked 2 & Faint are the perfect crease colors for my eyelids. And i mix Foxy & W.O.S. and wash my entire lids with them. I use Venus as a highlighter and sometimes dab a little only on the centre of my lids so it doesn't look so flat. I use the almost-black shadow in Crave to line my eyes everyday.
+ The packaging is really nice and compact. It holds up nicely and i travel with it almost everyday on my way to work
+ The price point of $32 CAD is pretty good, compared to if you were to buy similar shadows at MAC separately. Well worth it.
This palette is okay, but not my favorite. It includes 5 matte shades and 1 satin shade. I have nothing against this palette as the pigmentation is great, the texture is smooth and creamy, and they're easy to blend. However, for someone like me who has multiple neutral palettes such as the naked palette, the naked 2 palette, the Lorac pro palette, etc. this palette isn't absolutely necessary and anything different from what I already own. This palette is great for traveling or just to throw in your purse.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
It's rare to find a product that delivers exactly on promise. This one does. This is a very basic, yet lovely eyeshadow palette. When I first bought it, I thought I'd use it only occasionally, because in the pan the colors look kind of drab. However, it's really the only one I actually use. The colors are great, blend really well, and are well-thought out. The black reminds me of the Tom Ford black (I used to use Mac Carbon, but it's really garbage). I usually use it to tight-line and it stays put all day. It is possible to do more out-there looks with it because of the black. If I had a comment, (and it's a small one) I wish there was a warmer mid to dark tone brown.
4 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this palatte! I only need this and my Nars Kalahari duo and they're the only shadows I need. I use this daily. I have pretty big eyes so I don't wear as dramatic eye looks as I don't need to. This allows you to create a lovely daytime look and you can always take it with you and vamp up your eyes to create a night time look!
I love this palette! I own naked 1 and 2 but I reach for this one way more often, I would even recommend it over the other palettes. The packaging is adorable and way more travel friendly. The matte colors look amazing and are really easy to blend. You can do a complete look with this for daytime or nighttime!
Returned mine. It is a nice palette but definitely not necessary, especially since I already have the other Nakeds and Lorac Pro. I can easily dupe the look I could get from the Basics palette with my other eyeshadows. The other thing I didn't like was that the lighter colors all looked the same on me. I would say get this if you really want it or just want to have the convenience of these shades in one palette. Otherwise, tell yourself it's ok to not buy every UD palette.

What They Say
Belldandy and Keiichi are caught up in the battle over the Earth's Fate when The Lord of Terror suddenly takes over Urd! The Lord of Terror summons the Demon gate, and woe to us all if she opens it! The world will be overrun by demons.
The Valkyrie, Lind, is sent from heaven to execute The Lord of Terror by any means necessary and whatever host body it happens to be using. Belldandy in turn is given the holy flute to summon the mighty Midgard Serpent to fight, but The Lord of Terror can jump from one body into another, therefore escaping peril. Will she be able to take up arms against her sister Urd, or Skuld, or even Keiichi?

The Review!
Ah! My Goddess's first season draws to a close, with more of a whimper than anything else as the show is still steering clear of doing anything that might annoy fans of the franchise. The end result is okay as far as it goes, but somehow lacking…
Audio for this release is provided in Japanese and English 2.0 stereo - I listened to the Japanese track for this review. The soundtrack is clear, with dialogue being easy to pick out over the background effects, and good use is made of the soundstage to give direction to speech. There were no obvious encoding problems.
Video is presented in 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen, and after the disappointing quality of the OVA's release is a joy to watch. The quality of the animation is high, with good use of colour and detail to give a very vibrant feel to the series. The encoding does justice to the source material, too, with no noticeable problems to spoil one very good-looking release.
No packaging was provided with our review copy.
A flurry of feathers brings the main menu into view, with an image of Belldandy taking centre stage and a series of clips from the show drifting past in bubbles. Submenus are provided for Setup and Extras - these are each static screens, with Belldandy featuring on the Setup menu. Options are also provided for Play All and for direct access to each episode.
Art galleries are the order of the day again – three this time, one each for production artwork, cover artwork from the Japanese DVD release, and screenshots from this release.
Content: (please note that content portions of a review will contain spoilers)
Urd's awakening as the Lord of Terror leads to problems in heaven, as the resulting power surge crashes the Yggdrasil system and leaves heaven open to attack by demonic forces. Belldandy's aware of what that could mean, so takes it upon herself to break the seal on her own powers - an act that could cost her more than just her Goddess license - and try to deal with the problem herself. Urd, meanwhile, is enjoying tormenting Keiichi and Marller, and plotting to unleash the Ultimate Destruction Program - a way of releasing the demon hordes upon Earth. Activating the Program involves unleashing a very specific amount of chaos first - Belldandy's determined that Urd's not going to get the chance to do that, but she hadn't counted on the Lord of Terror's deviousness...
It's not often that Ah! My Goddess does anything that could truly be life-threatening for some of the characters, but that's what we get here, and it's done really well. While it's not really what the series is "designed" for, if you like, the two episodes that deal with the Lord of Terror are almost action stories. Perhaps I'd just reached my tolerance limit for romantic comedy, but this story pushed all the right buttons with me – and there was enough humour dropped into the mix to make sure that it didn't feel too out-of-place compared to the rest of the series.
The final two episodes take the opportunity to take a slightly different look at Urd and Skuld, with Urd taking on the form of a young girl in one and having to deal with a young boy who quickly falls in love with her, and Skuld becoming a full-grown woman in the other and discovering that her feelings for Keiichi aren't just grounded in jealousy.
The Skuld episode is probably the better of the two – I haven't really liked the way that Skuld was portrayed in this series (too much of a spoilt brat), but her episode here finally begins to address that and brings her personality more into line with the image I had in my head of her from past exposure to the A!MG universe. Her "date" with Keiichi provides some good moments of fun, while also giving her a few touching little scenes that show that while she's still a little girl, she's maybe beginning to grow up on the inside.
Urd's episode is almost the opposite of that – she's just a big kid at heart anyway (bottle of sake notwithstanding), and her chance to be a little kid and play with other little kids is something she seizes with both hands, as she knows it isn't going to last for long. The story here is enjoyable enough, but didn't grab me quite as well as the other episodes on the disc did.
If you're looking for any of the fringe characters to get a decent run out, this isn't the disc for you – Marller features briefly in the first episode, but most this release is all about Keiichi and the three goddesses. As the final disc in the season, that's appropriate enough, but it does limit things a bit.
Of course, while it's the final disc in the season, it's not the final disc in the series, as 2nd season Flights of Fancy will be arriving in the UK in January, courtesy of ADV That means I can't really criticise for the lack of any Belldandy / Keiichi resolution (which has never going to happen, anyway), or the way the season didn't end on a real high but instead almost petered out with the Urd & Skuld stories – there's no need to do anything really special when you're not done yet. In a way, that's Ah! My Goddess' biggest failing – it'll never be done, really. While I do enjoy the series, I'm also used to my anime eventually coming to an end, and we don't get that here.
In summary:
As another disc in a long-running series, this volume of Ah! My Goddess delivers exactly what you'd expect from it, with the added bonus of some real action as the Lord of Terror is dealt with. From that point of view, it's perfectly enjoyable and, if you've enjoyed what you've seen so far, it's well worth picking up. I can't help but feel that I'd enjoy it more if there was an end in sight, though – and as yet, there isn't.

New Long-Acting Injection in Development
WASHINGTON and CHADDS FORD, Pa., June 10 /PRNewswire/ -- About 63 percent of men who suffered from low testosterone saw two or more doctors before the condition was diagnosed, and once treated, nearly 30 percent of men said they stopped taking their medicine, according to results of a survey released today.
Results of the poll of more than 100 men who had been diagnosed with and treated for low testosterone, were released at the annual meeting of the Endocrine Society. The most frequent symptoms respondents reported were lack of energy (87 percent), decreased concentration (83 percent), loss of sex drive (82 percent) and the inability to get or maintain an erection (80 percent).
An estimated 13.9 million American men have low testosterone, also known as hypogonadism, yet only 9 percent of men are currently being treated with testosterone replacement therapy. The condition takes a significant toll on men's lives. Among men polled, 97 percent said low testosterone had a somewhat or very negative impact on the sexual aspect of their lives, and 90 percent said it adversely affected their self esteem.
"Low testosterone levels may have a marked impact on a man's sense of well being," said Raymond Rosen, Ph.D., Chief Scientist of the New England Research Institutes in Watertown, Mass. Among men polled, 61 percent said they were generally unsatisfied with their lives before being treated.
Low testosterone is associated with a broad range of physical, psychological and sexual symptoms including decreased energy and mood, fatigue, loss of muscle mass, depressed libido and erectile dysfunction. In addition, low testosterone has been associated with other serious medical conditions including diabetes, cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome.
"These symptoms are vague and non-specific, which may account for the appare

New Revised Standard (NRS) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Jesus said to his disciples, "Occasions for stumbling are bound to come, but woe to anyone by whom they come! | 1 Jesus said to his disciples: "Things that cause people to sin are bound to come, but woe to that person through whom they come. |
2 It would be better for you if a millstone were hung around your neck and you were thrown into the sea than for you to cause one of these little ones to stumble. | 2 It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin. |
3 Be on your guard! If another disciple sins, you must rebuke the offender, and if there is repentance, you must forgive. | 3 So watch yourselves. "If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. |
4 And if the same person sins against you seven times a day, and turns back to you seven times and says, "I repent,' you must forgive." | 4 If he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times comes back to you and says, 'I repent,' forgive him." |
5 The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!" | 5 The apostles said to the LORD, "Increase our faith!" |
6 The Lord replied, "If you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, "Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you. | 6 He replied, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you. |
7 "Who among you would say to your slave who has just come in from plowing or tending sheep in the field, "Come here at once and take your place at the table'? | 7 "Suppose one of you had a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. Would he say to the servant when he comes in from the field, 'Come along now and sit down to eat'? |
8 Would you not rather say to him, "Prepare supper for me, put on your apron and serve me while I eat and drink; later you may eat and drink'? | 8 Would he not rather say, 'Prepare my supper, get yourself ready and wait on me while I eat and drink; after that you may eat and drink'? |
9 Do you thank the slave for doing what was commanded? | 9 Would he thank the servant because he did what he was told to do? |
10 So you also, when you have done all that you were ordered to do, say, "We are worthless slaves; we have done only what we ought to have done!' " | 10 So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, 'We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.' " |

Hi there!! I found this tree growing in the Treme neighborhood of New Orleans, and for the life of me, can't figure out what it is. Though pruned pretty harshly, it's about 20' or so high, and half that wide. Definitely in the Rosaceae family, though that's as far as I got. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! |

These are great for entertaining when you don't know what everyone's allergies are. Gluten free, very little dairy, and hazelnuts, which are unlikely to affect nut allergies.
active time30
total time60
16 tablespoons (2 sticks) butter, melted2 cups light brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons vanilla
1 1/2 cup almond flour (not to be confused with almond meal; Honeyville Farms makes my favorite)
1/2 cup coconut flour (Tropical Traditions brand is great)
1/4 teaspoon salt (or, if you're me, a half tsp)
1/2 cup dried cherries
1/2 cup dark chocolate, cut in to chunks
1/2 cup hazelnuts, toasted
Preheat oven to 350 and line a 9x13 pan with parchment. Make sure your eggs are out of the fridge/not-too-cold. Start by melting your butter (microwave is fine, but browning it on the stove is even better if that's your thing). Let it sit off the heat to come to room temp while you do the following:Prep your mix-ins: Chop up your chocolate; toast your hazelnuts by heating them in a skillet until fragrant (5 minutes or so).
Now mix your no-longer-hot butter and brown sugar vigorously with a whisk or spoon until evenly caramel-colored and smooth.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing them in thoroughly. Stir in vanilla.
Stir in both flours and the salt. I like to quickly blend the flours with eachother at the top of the bowl before mixing them in to the wet ingredients below. Overmixing isn't too much of an issue, but there's no reason to go overboard. Once combined, dump in the chocolate, cherries, and hazelnuts and fold in to the batter until evenly distributed.
Spread your thick batter evenly into your prepared pan, tapping it against the counter to get out any air bubbles. Now in to the oven for 30-40 minutes (depending on your desired gooey-ness factor).
Remove from oven and cool in pan. I like to pop the pan in the fridge if I need to cut them neatly. Slice yourself a square and enjoy!

I'm about to rack an IPA into a king keg, and i'm just wondering how much priming sugar to put in... Does 100 grams of LME sound ok? I don't want much carbonation.
I use this type of keg and feel the same about carbonation,so i use about 4 tbls of white sugar for priming,i use the top tap/float type and get enouph carbonation to dispense 2/3rds of the contents after that co2 gets the rest.so 100g of LME sounds ok to me
