If you have seen the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding, you surely know the bundt cake scene. If you haven't seen it, you need to go out and rent it, (Wait, am I dating myself?) on demand it, netflix it, or whatever you do to watch old movies. It is a great movie and definitely worth two hours of your life.
Toula, the daughter of a very passionate and gregarious Greek family is engaged to Ian Miller, the son of a conservative WASP family. In the bundt cake scene, Ian's parents are going to meet the Portokoulis's. Mrs. Miller brings a bundt cake to what she believes is going to be a quiet introduction to her future in laws. What happens instead is really similar to what happened when Chris met my my family, except we only have one Nikki and there was not a bundt cake involved!
Chris had the pleasure of meeting my mom, all of her sisters, and many of my cousins in one fell swoop. No pressure or anything….. We were in St. Louis for the weekend to see a Radiohead concert. Two of my aunts live there with their families, so I convinced my mom and my Aunt Jackie to fly in so we could make a family event of it. These big family vacations were not new to my family. As a child, I remember caravaning 10 hours from Connecticut to Quebic City, Canada. But that's a story for another day.
Chris was not necessarily used to my family's, uhh, let's call it passion for being around one another. We are much like the Portokoulis's when we get together – rowdy, talkative, and everyone wanting to be heard. At one point, he asked my cousin Danielle why we all yell at each other so much. She let him know that we weren't yelling, we were communicating. Big difference. Chris did get used to how we "communicate" and asked me to marry him anyway!
The Cake:
The pistachio bundt cake recipe is one my mom made when I was a child. She was known for her chocolate cake so this was a departure from the norm, but always got rave reviews.
There are a couple things that make this cake so special. First, it is a bundt! Who doesn't love that, except maybe the Portokoulis's (Remember how insulted Mrs. Portokoulis was to find a hole in the middle of said cake? She couldn't help but put a plant there to fill the hole.) Second, instead of the usual vanilla extract, it uses almond extract to intensify the nutty flavor. Also, there are walnuts in the batter. This gives the moist cake another type of texture. Then, to top it all off, the cream cheese frosting! Nothing is bad with cream cheese frosting!
- 1 yellow cake mix
- 1 box instant pistachio pudding
- 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
- 1 cup of club soda
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 2 cups confectioner sugar
- 3 oz cream cheese at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon half and half
- dash of salt
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Butter & flour a bundt pan.
- Beat together cake mix, pudding, oil, club soda, eggs and almond extract.
- Fold in nuts.
- Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into cake comes out clean.
- Cool the pan on a cooling rack for 5 minutes.
- Remove cake from pan and place on serving platter until cool.
- Beat together all ingredients until smooth.
- Once the cake has cooled, use to frost cake.

A company called Tantus has made a dildo for Twilight enthusiasts (a dildo for children, basically?). It is called The Vamp. Of course, they can't say that it is a Twilight-themed dildo because of FASCIST COPYRIGHT LAWS. So they have to beat around the bush (get it? You get it). From the website (emphases mine):
The Vamp is a realistic form dildo based appropriately on our Sire's design but with a deathly pale flesh tone reminiscent of the new moon's glow. Don't be surprised if this toy seduces you, its long sleek shaft and deliciously ridged head calling to you in the twilight. But don't save this for just nocturnal escapades, try taking our Vamp out in the sunlight and watch him sparkle.
The Vamp is a web only exclusive offering through TantusInc.com for $39.99. We are currently taking pre-orders for this one of a kind toy. We will be shipping them first come first serve starting 9/1/09. Don't let this eclipse pass into the breaking dawn, place your order today.
"Don't let this eclipse pass into the breaking dawn" is up for the grand prize at the Seamless Awards. They make it look so easy! Ugh. And this, of course, is the best (worst) part:
Yes the The Vamp retains hot and cold temperature. Toss it in the fridge for that authentic experience.
Toss it in the fridge? I AM NOT SURE THAT THEY HAVE REFRIGERATORS IN JAIL. Why don't they just say what they really mean:
For people who want to fuck teenagers with frozen dicks who can fly.
That's what this is, right? "You don't understand, Edward Cullen is hundreds of years old." No, you don't understand. This is gross, and you are a grown up. Stop. Just stop it. (Via ONTD.)

The Deal: Sprint Faces D.C. Hurdles in T-Mobile Deal
WASHINGTON (TheStreet) -- Despite U.S. regulators' concerns that AT&T (T - Get Report) and Verizon Communications (VZ - Get Report) could unfairly dominate the telecom industry, the federal government is likely to block an attempt by Sprint Nextel (S) to acquire T-Mobile USA Inc., industry analysts predict.
The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that Sprint is considering a bid for T-Mobile. Several analysts said they believed Sprint leaked the story to test regulators' reception to a potential deal. The Department of Justice and the Federal Communications Commission both opposed AT&T's $39 billion plan to acquire T-Mobile in 2011. A Sprint takeover of T-Mobile, while potentially less anticompeitive than AT&T's, would have nonetheless raised serious concerns, analysts said Monday.
"Assuming it was Sprint that leaked the news, their intent seems to be a simple test of the waters," Craig Moffett, senior analyst at MoffettNathanson LLC wrote in a research report. "By piquing the discussion, they presumably hope to find out if a deal could or couldn't get done."
Christopher King and David Kaut of Stifel, Nicolaus & Co. predicted the reception in Washington "would be chilly, given recent pronouncements, particularly with major spectrum auctions on the horizon."
Noting that Sprint and T-Mobile are the No. 3 and No. 4 number carriers, respectively, in the U.S. wireless market after AT&T and Verizon, they said the DOJ's Antitrust Division is likely to challenge the deal in court. That prediction is based in part on the DOJ's comments in a telecom industry proceeding at the FCC in which the agency said "the different arrays of choices" offered by each of four major carriers provides many dimensions of competition, including "coverage, network speed, network technologies, and price." As a result, the DOJ said it "believes it is essential to maintain vigilance against any lessening of the intensity of competitive market forces." King and Kaut also noted that T-Mobile, flush with cash from the $3 billion breakup fee it got from AT&T two years ago, gained more market share than any other wireless carrier in 2013. T-Mobile's moves this year included acquiring MetroPCS Communications. "Thus, we believe it's possible [a] merger with Sprint may face an even steeper uphill climb in the DOJ's eyes than in April." Added objections would likely come from the FCC. "New FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler has vowed to protect existing competition," they wrote. Compounding the FCC's concerns are the upcoming auctions of wireless spectrum in 2014 and 2015. "The FCC is counting on wireless carriers to bid aggressively in 2014-2015 spectrum auctions to raise government revenue for the first-responder public-safety wireless network and deficit reduction. Any consolidation between the two would effectively eliminate a prime bidder for the spectrum, which would seemingly raise political concerns among officials worried about maximizing proceeds from the auctions," the analysts said. Paul Gallant, an analyst at Guggenheim Securities LLC, agreed that the deal would face likely opposition from regulators. The likely defense from the companies that they would be able to "form a more effective counterweight to Verizon and AT&T ... is a solid argument" but not one ultimately likely to prevail. "Despite being a more palatable merger than AT&T/T-Mobile on pure antitrust grounds, we believe a Sprint/T-Mobile tie-up probably would face the same fate - a challenge by DOJ and the FCC. We believe regulators are very pleased with T-Mobile's resurgence and its aggressive, innovative moves and would not want to see it disappear via acquisition." --By Bill McConnell in Washington.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

New FF bug?
Is this a new bug or an old one? ...or is my FF 1.5.06 on WinXP Pro just doing it for fun?
I have a layer with a flash menu with buttons and part of the layer appears over an iframe. The flash menu works perfectly fine on all pages except when over the iframe. The part over the iFrame displays but the buttons don't work. Strange.
Here's a link so you can see: http://www.westernvet.ca/search/
Is this something new? IE6 isn't affected by this. I don't recall having this trouble before with FF 1.0.X but I'm not sure if I tested it on that page going over the iframe. Crazy.
What do you guys find?!

This is my 2nd year with my container garden. When planting, labels tell you how far apart in open ground. But what in containers? If i followed rules which generally is say 12" apart, i cant do this in a planter if i want a full display. Does cramming in pots make the plants grow bad? I know better to say put 1 plant per pot but if i want a nice full display can i put say 6 or 8 plants in 1 pot at 2 inch apart as long as there is depth and good drainage? |

I would suggest planting specimen or crop type plants according to the labels. But if you're after display, the more the merrier. Just be vigilant with watering, fertilizing and controlling undesirable bugs. |

Welcome to Texas! There's a LOT of good information on this site to not only get you started, but will help you along as more questions come up.

Welcome! The good news is- you can put away the snow shovel, but not the jackets. In a couple of years your blood will be so thinned out you'll be grabbing a sweater when it gets to the low 70's :-) You're right about the planting time frames being very different. A lot of people use planting guides from the extension office. I like the one on Fanick's nursery too. The website is linked below. I've lived in a few parts of SA, but not in Live Oak. Have you dug in the yard at all? There's this rocky stuff they call caliche in a lot of the city. If you have that you pretty much have to build/construct some kind of raised bed. There was a pretty good thread that talked about some things to think about. http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/txgard/msg0313094626705.html When you look at where you put your garden make sure you have access to water hoses. You'll need them. Also there is a plant swap Oct 12. You should come if you have time. There's a whole lot of nice people and very experienced gardeners you could connect with. But feel free to post questions regardless. Lisa |
Here is a link that might be useful: Fanick's gardening calendar
thank you i'll be checking out those links and looking for a sweater we already have planned to do raised bed .. never done it before but we have done something similar in that we had a garden area emptied out once and refilled with nice garden soil |

Make Your Own Concrete Thwomp
August 1st, 2014
Like most Mario video game characters, Thwomps are bad guys, yet are still somehow cute. These spiked cinder blocks have personality. Sure, they are trying to pulverize you, but you still have to love them.
If you want a nice solid concrete version, (because what else would you make a Thwomp out of?) Instructables user mactothefuture can show you how. He made this replica of the Thwomp from Super Mario Bros. and it looks awesome.
He used a mold box and cast the block from concrete. Now it is ready to smash anything the goes under it. Working with concrete is tricky, but I bet you can do it with some practice. All of the details are up on Instructables if you want to give it a try.

The Aroma of the Knowledge of God: How the Sense of Smell Inspires Worship and Awe

While reading about and studying the processes that gave rise to this astonishing world, please don't forget that it is beautiful. It is not merely mechanics, but poetry.
Collection of the best articles of the past several weeks on science (and faith) from around the web.
Read about the death of Wolfhart Pannenberg, still debating creation and evolution, and a really big dinosaur discovery.
This week's news features volcanoes, skeletons, and stars, as well as a thought-provoking new book from InterVarsity press.
While it is true that Goodwin and others believe that their discoveries pose a major challenge to neo-Darwinian orthodoxy, this does not cause them to abandon their belief that the history of life can be explained as the outcome of biological processes!
Musician Michael Gungor talks about the recent controversy over the evolution of his views on evolution, science, and biblical authority.
The purpose of Jesus's art was to give verbal, visual, and dramatic forms to those complicated and confounding relationships, symmetries, and harmonies between himself, the father and spirit, and between the triune God and the world… Such creative expressions did not and do not make everything clear, but rather resist simple clarity, forcing their hearers to come at the whole complicated truth from a position of intellectual and spiritual humility.
Everyone is so worried about success and getting this or that honorable diploma—the people here are smart and understand many complex things perfectly—but it's a long distance from the head to the heart.
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
Children's books are more than stories. They can become familiar narratives children listen to over and over. So it's worth asking - Are the books we're reading doing a good job of portraying God and His Creation?
We are searching for a qualified candidate to serve as Content Editor, beginning August 1.
Collins' original use of the term "BioLogos" was as an alternative label for the position often known as "theistic evolution." Now this gets a bit confusing as "BioLogos" became the name for our organization that Collins founded (after the publication of this book). We continue to be dissatisfied with the label "theistic evolution" because as Collins said, most non-theologians are unsure how the term "theist" "could be converted to an adjective and used to modify Darwin's theory."
When you are in church, do you act and speak differently than when you are in school? Do you tend to compartmentalize what you learn about in Biology class from what you learn about in Sunday School?
Russell Crowe as Noah was no superhero. He was very human—perhaps too human for those who'd prefer he remain in the flannel graph world of our Sunday School stories.
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
The Psalmist is saying that when we walk outside and look up, the heavens are telling us two things about God: they tell us about his glory, and they tell us about what his hands can do.
Scripture gives us multiple ways of looking at things, and a classic example of this is the parables of Jesus. Many of these involve looking at nature. For example, natural events like seeds growing—and what Jesus seems to be saying is look there is a surface reading of nature—and then there is the deeper reading, where you begin to realize there are levels of meaning that we don't pick up on our first acquaintance.

Feingold will fail to bring Wisconsin forward
The President touted the new plan in Milwaukee over the weekend saying that "Over the next six years, we are going to rebuild 150,000 miles of our roads—enough to circle the world six times." What President Obama and Senator Feingold don't understand however, is that right now America doesn't need to spend $50 billion dollars to rebuild a road that circles the world six times, it needs an economic recovery. More importantly it needs jobs. As we learned through the first stimulus package, building projects like this can create some temporary employment at a high cost, but not neccesarily a permanent job.

If you've applied on your own and received a denial, it's not too late to choose an SSDI representative, such as Allsup, to handle the appeal and continue with your case. Taking this step may make the difference in experiencing further delays to receiving your SSDI benefits.
7. Giving up. The process can be excruciatingly long and cumbersome. Nearly 750,000 people are waiting for a hearing before an administrative law judge, which is only one level of the SSDI appeals process. For individuals already facing significant physical or mental disabilities, this delay can add to the difficulty. Bueltemann, however, is quick to point out that receiving SSDI is a benefit that individuals with disabilities and their families have earned, if they meet the SSDI requirements. An SSDI award also is essential in securing other forms of financial support, including Medicare benefits and retirement protection.
"It may not be as easy as it should be to receive your payments, but don't give up," Bueltemann said. "Make sure you have good representation and don't lose hope that you can secure your benefits."
Allsup, Belleville, Ill., is a leading nationwide provider of financial and healthcare related services to people with disabilities. Founded in 1984, Allsup has helped more than 100,000 people receive their entitled Social Security Disability Insurance a

Fern Chambers
Fern B. (Luttrell) Chambers, age 89, died Monday, Nov. 25 at an Oklahoma City hospital after a time of declining health.
Fern was born Oct. 19, 1924, near Fort Cobb in Caddo County to Robert and Minnie (Pinkston) Williams. She grew up in the area around Fort Cobb and lived most of her adult life in the Cowden and Mt. View communities. She was a licensed beauty operator but worked many years for C.R. Anthony Co. in Oklahoma City, Cordell and Weatherford before retiring. She moved to Oklahoma City in 1956 and to Wheatland in 1959, then back to the Mt. View and Cordell area in 1965. She was a member of First Baptist Church in Cordell.
Fern was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Sammie; two grandchildren; four brothers, Jack, Otis, Floyd and Lawrence; and five sisters, Bessie, Ada, Eula, Ollie and Josie.
Survivors include one son, Dwight Luttrell and wife, Donna of Ninnekah; two daughters, Pat Oltermann and husband, Dewayne of Mustang and Laquetta Treadaway of Tuttle; seven grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren.
Services were held Nov. 29 at Chisholm Heights Baptist Church, Mustang, with interment following at Mt. View Cemetery, under the direction of McNeil's Mustang Funeral Service.

Hactl transshipment traffic grows
Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals (Hactl) had 11.5 percent growth in tonnage through its SuperTerminal 1 base in the first half of 2014, compared to the same period in 2013.
"When we parted company with Cathay Pacific in 2013, we expected a long uphill struggle to replace this significant element of our business. In reality, we have quickly made up a substantial proportion of the traffic through new account wins, and organic growth among our 100 airline clients," Hactl Chief Executive Mark Whitehead said.
Imports increased 13.6 percent year over year, to a total of 243,287 tonnes. Exports grew by 8.8 percent, reaching 489,624 tonnes. Transshipments showed the largest percentage growth, to 64,849 tonnes – up 34.2 percent.
"The growth in our transshipment traffic – while currently still the smallest part of our business – is very interesting, as it reflects the continuing development of Hong Kong as the preferred regional transshipment hub," Whitehead said. "The transshipment result is also gratifying, as it rewards our recent drive to promote Hacis, our added-value logistics arm. This provides scheduled road feeders into and out of mainland China, which more and more carriers are using as a safe platform to extend their reach beyond Hong Kong."

Thursday, July 31 16:48:22
Europe's FTSEurofirst 300 share index hit a three-week low today, led lower by Adidas after the group warned about business in Russia.
Argentina's default and concerns of an early U.S. rate hike also rattled investors.
The broader market was dragged down by sharp declines in some individual stocks following the announcement of their earnings. The broader market sell-off accelerated in the afternoon after the U.S. market opened lower and extended losses later in the session
German sportswear firm Adidas fell 15.2 percent, the top decliner on the FTSEurofirst 300 index, Portugal's Banco Espirito Santo sank nearly 50 percent at one point to a record low after booking a 3.6 billion euro first-half loss and disappointing earnings at Spanish healthcare firm Grifols sent its shares down 11.2 percent.
BES, down 37 percent, pushed Portugal's benchmark PSI 20 index 3.4 percent lower to underperform the wider market, while Adidas dragged Germany's DAX 2 percent down after saying it will scale back plans to expand in Russia and overhaul its golf business.
According to Thomson Reuters StarMine data, about 40 percent of STOXX Europe 600 companies have reported results so far in the earnings season, of which 55 percent have met or beaten profit forecast. On average, quarterly profits are up 7.1 percent year-over-year.
Spanish stocks also came under pressure, with Madrid's IBEX dropping 2.3 percent, as traders cited worries over Spanish companies' exposure to Latin America after Argentina defaulted on its debt on Thursday.
At 1457 GMT, the FTSEurofirst 300 was down 1.4 percent at 1,346.84 points after falling up to 1,346.78, the lowest since early July, with analysts saying the sell-off might continue in the near-term on worries about further monetary tightening in the United States.

Rental Sales Associate Interview
I applied online. The process took 2+ weeks – interviewed at Avis Budget Group.
Once they do the phone interview to qualify you what they really want is some one with sales experience and great personality. They'll ask you some basic questions like why do you want to work here, tell me about your sales experience etc. Computer or car knowledge just has to be basic because they will want to train you.
- They ask you to "sell" an upgrade on a car class. View Answer

Rental Sales Associate Interview
Application DetailsI applied online. The process took a day – interviewed at Avis Budget Group in May 2014.
Interview DetailsI applied online and was contacted by email to call in to recruiter for 10-20 minute phone interview. I followed those steps and spent about 15 minutes on phone interview with Recruiter which went well. I was then scheduled for a face to face interview with Airport Manager which would take place a few days later. My appointment was for 4pm and arrived at 330pm, walked inside of office to find that the associates behind the counter was busy so I assumed a seat. At 3:50 I was able to speak to someone and told this person I was there for an interview, immediately I was passed on to three people until the Operations Manager attempted to research what was going on. At this point, I waited until she came out and asked me to step in the back and told me that the Manager had left for the day and they had no interviews scheduled. I proceeded to show her the email confirmation on my phone and she was baffled and apologized for the mix-up. She took down my name and number and told me that she would give the manager my info to re-schedule. I remained poised throughout this very unprofessional fiasco whereas I didn't have one person ask me if I needed any help the entire time I was there leading up to me approaching them. The following day I called the recruiter number that's provided and spoke to someone explaining what had transpired and no one never called me to re-schedule or follow-up. This incident was enough for me to NOT want to work for a company that schedules interviews without communicating with the interviewer and no follow-up.

Application DetailsI applied online. The process took 3 days – interviewed at Avis Budget Group.
Interview DetailsVery quick to set up interview, about 30 minutes long process. The manager of the branch was doing it himself he was polite, fun, genuinely interested in ideas or facts about myself. Mostly consisted on questions about yourself and how you'd fit within the company. Best question was how would I use this job to take steps toward my actual dream job.

Rental Sales Associate Interview
Interview DetailsThe whole process has been a giant waste of time, read this before you apply.
The way you apply is online and are then asked to do an hour long online assessment which consists mostly of what you would do in various customer service situations. I passed this then was sent and email to call a 800 number for a phone interview. The 800 number is their national recruiting number you are not talking to anyone that works for the branch you are applying to. This consists of basic questions of your experience. I passed the phone interview and was then told to wait for another email for a face to face interview. I received an email that appointments were available I called the 800 number to get an interview time only to be told all appointments were full. I received another email a few days later saying appointment times were available so i called the 800 number 30 minutes after I received the email and yet again there were no appointment times available.
Your experience may be different depending on what location you apply to, but I would suggest not wasting your time. A company is supposed to give a good first impression when hiring. If this is the way they run things I can't imagine actually working for them would be much better.Interview Questions- One of the phone interview questions was how I sold a customer who at first didn't want what I was selling Answer Question

Application DetailsI applied online. The process took 1+ week – interviewed at Avis Budget Group in January 2013.
Interview DetailsSubmitted my resume online. Was asked to complete an assessment online immediately after submitting my resume. Received an email 4 days later to contact the recruiting department for a phone interview. Phone interview was fairly simple with basic interview questions to get a sense of a person's work ethic and management style. Was given an appointment immediately during the phone interview to meet a recruiter at the airport. Met with one of the operations managers at Ft Lauderdale airport. Interview went well, asked about my job history, why I was changing careers, why I wanted to work for Avis Budget. At the end of the interview he inquired why I was applying for an RSA position and not a managerial position. Gave me an immediate interview with the District Manager.
Interview Questions- Nothing difficult or unexpected. Fairly typical interview. Answer Question

Rental Sales Associate Interview
Application DetailsI applied online. The process took a week – interviewed at Avis Budget Group in December 2011.
Interview DetailsI applied online through Career Builder. After a couple days, I received an email instructing me to call hte hotline. I called and the receptionist gave me a briefing about the position and asked a couple of HR questions. "We're looking for X personality. Tell me about a time when you dealt with team members..."
The next day, they sent me an online personality assessement that took at least 40 minutes. After complete, they ask you to call the hotline again.
The day after that, I was called with directions for the location of my interview. Conveniently, the Melbourne International Airport is but 8 minutes from my house.
The Hiring Manager was covering for the normal Manager, who supervises Orlando operations. Probably due to the holiday season, that person was all tied up. She took me behind the small 25 square foot counter area (I'd forgotten how little room RSA's have to maneuver) to a small office/back room. We began with formal greetings and concessions, and then I noticed her concentrating on rewriting my information from the application to her own questionaire sheets. She began by asking me why I'd recently left my last job. I explained that it was for professional development, seeking other better opportunities. (That works pretty well.) She asked me to give her an example of a situation where I least liked my job. She asked me what did I best appreciate about a job. She asked if I would feel badly about being assigned or having to do more work than other employees, whether by Manager choice or my own. She said, "Now for a fun one..." and to sell her something in the room. She asked me how I've dealt with a situation where the customer was unruly or aggresive. She asked me if there would have been anything that I would have said differently to someone/supervisor at a previous job. She asked me to use one word to describe myself...
Afterward, she did not really ask me if I had any questions of my own. She did say that I have to provide her with an actual social security card before she could continue with my training in Orlando. She also said that due to the upcoming holiday, the drug/background check may take a week. Afterwards, there would be training in Orlando.
Make eye contact. Be positive. DO NOT SPEAK NEGATIVELY about yourself or anyone else. Prove excellence in the 40 minutes you have with the interviewer. Inquire about when you'll know more about the process, but do not outright ask for the job.Interview Questions- give one word to describe yourself Answer Question

Love the Sandys
I love these "Sandy" Reef sandals. This is my second pair, and the first pair lasted for years (and I live in Florida so they get alot of use)!
reefs never break down ...unless your in Hawaii then you might have to toss them in the dumpster `cause of the humitity.
reefs do break down , if you've worn them nonstop , and have to chuck them in the garbage in hawaii... invest in a new pair of the most comfortable flip- flops
I've had my Reef flip flops for over 3 yrs and they are still just as comfortable as the day I bought them, and I practically live in my Reefs. They still look almost new too & that's unbelievable since I wear them year round for the most part, and every day too. I just bought a pair of the "dreams" in the Reef flip flops and they are awesome. I live in Virginia, if that has anything to do with how well my Reefs have held up. I believe it's just a very high quality made flip flop though. I will never buy another flip flop except for Reef. You can't beat the quality and comfort!

Infection of an eyelid gland. An external sty results from infection of a sebaceous gland at the edge of the eyelid; tears flow and the eye feels tender, as if something is in it. The sty reddens and swells. Warm compresses help it break sooner. An internal sty is caused by infection of a meibomian gland under the eyelid lining. More painful than an external sty, it usually breaks through the inner lining of the lid when it discharges and may leave a painless cyst (chalazion) at the site. See also boil.

.- Cardinal Cormac Murphy O'Connor, Archbishop of Westminster and President of the Bishops' Conference of England and Wales, sent a pastoral message to Catholics in England and Wales on Tuesday encouraging them to write their Ministers of Parliament about pending legislation that would expand human embryo research, remove regulations on fertility treatments, and possibly liberalize abortion laws.
"Many people of all faiths and none are deeply concerned by the moral questions raised by this Bill," Cardinal Murphy-O'Connor wrote.
The cardinal also pointed to the fact that the Human Fertilization and Embryology Bill would allow the creation of human-animal hybrid embryos for research. He also warned that it also would remove a provision requiring those who administer in-vitro fertilization treatments to consider the child's need for a father.
The bill states that lesbian "partners" may both be named on birth certificates as legal parents. The legislation being forwarded to the House of Commons also will make it possible for homosexual partners to demand treatments to produce a child as a "right." Male "partners" will also be able to apply for the legal status of parents of a child carried by a surrogate.
Cardinal Murphy-O'Connor called on people to write or visit their MP to voice their concern about the bill.
"Now is the time for our voices to be heard," he wrote.
MPs, the cardinal said, should be asked to support amendments to the bill to limit embryo research and to recognize the need for children to have knowledge of their biological father.
He suggested that Members of Parliament should request a "free vote" freeing legislators from party mandates on parts of the bill dealing with "fundamental issues of personal conscience."
"Taking action on this pressing issue now helps to remind us that our Christian witness can never just be personal but involves us too as citizens committed to serving the common good of society and to upholding the human dignity of all," Cardinal Murphy-O'Connor said.
The Human Fertilization and Embryology Bill has already passed the House of Lords and will soon be debated in the House of Commons.

The people that make these threads and upvote them really have no idea how much of a pain in the ass it is to change work that has already been implemented. Is it a problem with LoL? Yes. Is it easily fixed? HELL NO. The client hooks into much of the architecture of various systems. What you think is a small change is actually a VERY LARGE CHANGE. Consequently, it's one of the things about LoL that is least likely to change in the short OR long term.
Always bothered me why battlefield would just chill but LoL client would act like an autistic monkey every time I clicked a button
exactly!!! and true too
Every so often when I try to open the client, I get an error message and need to retry. Most every time I try to login, I get an error message and need to retry. Occasionally once I do get in, all I get in a black screen and need to reset the client. Guh!

Egypt Islamist says concert Satanist
Comment on this storyCairo - A heavy metal concert has prompted a police investigation after an Islamist lawyer claimed it was attended by Satanists at a well-known cultural center in Egypt's capital Cairo.
A security official says Muslim Brotherhood lawyer Ismail el-Washahi filed a suit accusing the El-Sawy Culture Wheel of hosting people wearing black t-shirts, carrying Satanists' drawings and accessories while dancing at the concert. The suit claims "Satanist rituals were held."
The center denied the claims, saying some violations of its rules, like smoking, occurred but were dealt with. An investigation began Monday, said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the press.
The allegations recall a high-profile case 15 years ago when state security cracked down "Satan worshippers," arresting some 100 heavy metal fans. - Sapa-AP

Official clarifies demolition of seaside settlers
-A A +AMonday, March 12, 2012
THE Island Garden City of Samal (Igacos) is not contesting Sama Tribe's claim over ancestral domain but is just securing the welfare of informal settlers and implementing the ordinance on fish landing when the local government demolished seaside settlements, an official said Monday.
City Administrator Cleto Gales Jr., during Monday's Kapehan sa Dabaw at SM Davao, made the clarification in response to the tribe's allegation of illegal demolition against the local government of Samal.
Sama Tribe is claiming ancestral domain covering approximately 80,000 hectares, but the land area of Igacos only covers about 30,000 hectares, he said.
"Sinali nila ang dagat sa kanilang ancestral domain (They are claiming the sea as part of their ancestral domain)," he said.
He emphasized that no Certification of Ancestral Domain Title (CADT) has been issued yet and that application for a CADT has not even started yet.
Gales said the demolition is part of the city's plan to relocate informal settlers living along the coastal areas in preparation for calamities that may occur due to climate change.
"We want coastal areas to be free from infrastructures," he said, adding they would strictly implement it to all settlers, be they formal or informal.
He also emphasized that the local government's danger zone extends from the sea up to the coastal lands and that residential houses are not advised to be built along shorelines.
"Of 46 barangays, 31 are identified as coastal," Gales said. So far, affected by demolitions are Barangays Balet, Camudmud, and sitio Pigasaan in Barangay Tagbay.
Only one of 17 families in Pigasaan refused to be relocated. Another one family of 12 in Balet refused, and three in Camudmud out of 38 families.
He said that sometime in 2011, 16 families in Camudmud who are not even original residents of Samal were claiming ancestral domain.
He said they provided relocation sites for families affected by the demolition, each given 75 square meters of lot.
"It's for free," he added, saying relocation sites are still near shorelines since those affected are fisherfolk.
Another issue to which the city administrator raised in defense to the action of the government on informal settlers is about social justice.
"We don't want our fisherfolk left with nothing in terms of fish landing area to dock their boats," he added while explaining that if shorelines will be congested with infrastructures, no docking area will be put in place for local fishermen.
"Fish landing area was already institutionalized through a barangay ordinance and was approved by the Sangguniang Panglungsod (City Council)," he said while announcing that Igacos was the first to implement it all over the country.

Okay my gaming group has just finished the intro mission "First Blood". The only ruling problem we argued about was reviving a downed hero as an action. The OL was convinced even if the hero was revived by another hero, the hero being revived had to wait till the hero's next round to act. We argued that the player who was revied by another hero would get to act on the turn he was revived. So which one is it ?
