POWRi Midgets, 600cc Micros race Wednesday in Arnie Knepper Memorial at Belle-Clair Speedway
BELLEVILLE, Ill. (Aug. 5, 2011)—POWRi's Lucas Oil National Midget Series and Speedway Motors 600cc Outlaw Micro Series will race in the 20th annual Arnie Knepper Memorial on Wednesday (Aug. 10) at Belle-Clair Speedway.
Knepper was one of the best drivers ever from the St. Louis area. The Belleville native won five Midget championships in St. Louis Auto Racing Association from 1954 to 1960. He drove in five straight Indianapolis 500s from 1965 to 1969. Knepper also won the famed Little 500 Sprint Car race at Anderson, Ind., in 1962, six Midget and two Sprint Car races in USAC national events. He died in Belleville in 1992.
"Belle-Clair was the first race track Arnie ever drove on, in a stock car when he was 16," widow Wanda Knepper, a Belleville resident, said. "This is where he was born, grew up and lived. He never moved away from home. His career probably would have been a lot better if we had moved to Indianapolis, but he wouldn't do it. This was home.
"I think it's amazing that this is the 20th year of the race. A lot of these memorial things go for three or four years and then people forget about them. It's a great testimonial of what he gave to the race fans and to the kind of person that he was that everybody remembers him. I think it's fantastic."
The Knepper family tradition of racing success continues. Nick Knepper, Arnie's cousin, leads the POWRi Midget championship over runner-up Brad Loyet, 2,230-2,140, going into the 16th of 22 events this season. The 24-year-old from Belleville, who has a victory at Belle-Clair this season, will be trying to rebound from finishing 23rd at Junction Motor Speedway in McCool Junction, Neb., and 20th at U.S. 36 Raceway in Cameron, Mo., in the previous two features. They're the only finishes outside the top-10 for Knepper this season.
Loyet won last year's Knepper Memorial en route to his second POWRi Midget championship. The 22-year-old from Sunset Hills, Mo., has three victories and four runner-up finishes in the 15 events he's entered.
Brad Kuhn leads the series with four victories and is third in points with 1,900 points. The two-time POWRi Midget champion from Avon, Ind., has been ninth or better in the 10 events he's entered.
Austin Brown had three solid races last weekend, third and sixth at Junction Motor Speedway and seventh at U.S. 36 Raceway. The 21-year-old from Millstadt, Ill., moved up to fourth in the points with 1,520.
POWRi Lucas Oil National Midget Series top-10 points standings (after 15 of 22 events): 1. Nick Knepper 2,230, 2. Brad Loyet 2,140, 3. Brad Kuhn 1,900, 4. Austin Brown 1,520, 5.

Final Score: Alaska-Anchorage 66, UC Riverside 65
Anchorage, AK (Sports Network) - A jumper by Teancum Stafford in the final minute was key as the Alaska-Anchorage Seawolves held on to defeat the UC Riverside Highlanders, 66-65, in the second round of the Great Alaska Shootout at the Sullivan Arena.
Kyle Fossman and Jalen Little each had a team-high 14 points for the Seawolves (5-1), who will play Loyola Marymount in Saturday's fifth-place game. Stafford also scored in double figures for the hosts with 10 points, including the clutch bucket to seal the win.
For the Highlanders (1-5), Chris Patton scored 16 points to go with eight rebounds. Chris Harriel and Austin Quick chipped in 12 and 11 points, respectively.
UAA's bench stepped up in the first half, outscoring UC Riverside's bench, 22-4, to give the Seawolves a 37-32 lead at the halfway point.
The Highlanders got hot in the second half and held a 10-point lead with eight minutes left in the game, but a 16-5 run by the Seawolves would solidify the victory.
UAA won despite being outrebounded by a 37 to 28 margin. UC Riverside was hindered by a poor shooting night from beyond the arc (4-of-14).

Mr. Clucky and Buckley in 2007 |
Clucky's owner Mark Buckley told Local 10 he's packing up the fowl, his girlfriend Wallflower, and all of their shared worldly possessions and heading to rural New Hampshire, where Buckley owns a farm.
In May, Buckley was fined for keeping Clucky as a pet in his Miami Beach apartment. Recently, the city decided to fine him $50 a day until Clucky is removed.

Call of Duty - Burnville demo
Full user review
"World War II...I was there"
If you looking for a WWII first person shooter it doesn't get much better than this. I love this game for pretty much everything. Especially love the historically accurate weapons. A small sampling is as below:
M1A1 Garand
Springfield Rifle
Colt .45
Thompson SMG
KAR98K Rifle
Mosin Nagant Rifle
STEN Gun
BREN Gun
MG42 Machine Gun
Now with a list of weapons that long (and some more which I haven't named) you really can't go wrong. The missions are also really wild. You actually get a small taste of the complete mayhem of war. Sound effects such as explosions etc. are very realistic. Each gun has a distinctive sound when it fires which adds to the realism. What can I say I loved it so much that after I played the demo I bought the game. I loved the game so much I bought the expansion!
Not much to crib about in the single player missions, however multiplayer does have a few snags, but the patches released recently should take care of that.

Debut Contemporary, its artists and Barry Martin and Klara Taussig-Cecmanova as co-curators with Samir Ceric, the gallery's director, decided to join forces to raise funds and awareness for the Harrison's Fund Charity. Located in 82 Westbourne Grove, Notting Hill, London, the show will continue until the 31st of January.
But what is it that makes debut fiction so irresistible? For some it's the excitement of discovering new voices. For others it's the possibility of following a writer though a long career from the very beginning.
Moroni is widely regarded as one of the finest painters of the 16th century, and a critical innovator in portraiture, in particular. Yet his name is not widely known by the general public so this new exhibition at the Royal Academy, the first ever large-scale display of his work outside Italy, is an important contribution in correcting this.
We all know about the stratospheric rise of the 'selfie'; I mean, it would be pretty difficult not to. Selfies are prolific. They have become a cultural norm, the very word an established feature of our vernacular.
A good editor is essential to the success of any book. So this week I interviewed Sarah Vincent, author and editor of ten years with Cornerstones, one of the UK's leading Literary Consultancies.
This festive season, Trafalgar Studios is offering up an alternative look at the work of Charles Dickens, in the form of 'Dickens with a Difference.' The double-bill incorporates the London premieres of Miss Havisham's Expectations and Sikes & Nancy.
While the Horrible Histories series for children has been recognised as fitting within the Roald Dahl tradition of humour, it seems that the adult version, which Double History offers, is simply too opaque for some. Yet what exactly is being satirised here?
The fact of rape is a terrible one: it's the inhumanity of deriving sexual pleasure in the face of another person's pain. Where sex might please in the pleasing of others, rape is its opposite. It becomes a violence like none other, a nightmare extreme of Schadenfreude.
I've struggled to get this list down to twenty. But this is the list of books which I'd give to my best friend or my mum, or take on holiday if I happened to be having a particularly long one. It's the list of books I'm most excited about reading, and which I strongly suspect will be some of the most talked-about of the year.
How do Japanese celebrate holidays? New Year is the biggest holiday of the year in Japan.Since 1873 Japanese have been celebrating New Year according to the Gregorian calendar on January 1 of each year, although some parts of Japan, such as Okinawa, still celebrate it according to the Chinese calendar.
The Far East has an ever blossoming relationship with Britain in terms of fashion, style and education. This two-way relationship has led to a cross-fertilisation of cultural and commercial connections in the recent years. The next step in this cultural exchange is sport and events.
Having worked with writers for many years and researched creative habits, we found there isn't one magic bullet to make you into a creative powerhouse. In fact there are seven - so here they are, seven ideas to tap into your inner muse and start creating on a regular basis.
What to do if you're not David Walliams, you don't have a big publisher to propel your Aweful Auntie to the top of the Christmas sales tree, but you're still determined to make your book a success?
holpan Sharbakova is a classically trained pianist, soloist, laureate of international competitions and festivals, yet music is only one of her creativity codes. "Musical notes always had a physical presence for me" says Sholpan.
The showing of The Godfather at the Royal Albert Hall accompanied by a live orchestra! Sounds dreamy right! The Godfather was the latest in a series of classic films with live orchestral accompaniment at the majestic venue.
No one should be afraid to seek help - and no one should put down other peoples' success. Zoella was recognised for her talent, carried out her creative project with help from the very people whose job it is to help, and created an amazing book.

Alternative Evolution: Why Change Your Own Genes When You Can Borrow Someone Else's?
By SCIENCEDAILY - SCIENCEDAILY
Updated: Sun, 11 Jul 2010 14:17:45 UTC
Thanks to TheRationalizer for the link
Original link
It has been a basic principle of evolution for more than a century that plants and animals can adapt genetically in ways that help them better survive and reproduce.
Now, in a paper to be published in the journal Science, University of Rochester biologist John Jaenike and colleagues document a clear example of a new mechanism for evolution. In previous well documented cases of evolution, traits that increase an animal's ability to survive and reproduce are conferred by favorable genes, which the animal passes on to its offspring. Jaenike's team has chronicled a striking example of a bacteria infecting an animal, giving the animal a reproductive advantage, and being passed from mother to children. This symbiotic relationship between host animal and bacteria gives the host animal a readymade defense against a hazard in its environment and thus has spread through the population by natural selection, the way a favorable gene would.

CLINTONVILLE - A Keeseville man who brought joy to the lives of many will be remembered once again in death.
Douglas O. Knight passed away Aug. 9 after a long battle with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. Weeks later, his friends and family are organizing a new way to embody the mark he left on the community.
A special ceremony is planned for Sept. 11 when, in Knight's honor, a handcrafted, 32-foot northern red oak flagpole will be erected in front of the AuSable Valley Central School administration building.
The flagpole, crafted by Adirondack Flagpoles, cost more than $3,000, but with donations from dozens of individuals and businesses in the community, Knight's friends raised the money in just three weeks.
Knight was a well-known musician; part of the local bluegrass trio Three Doug Knight for more than 25 years. He was also a beloved bus driver for the AuSable Valley Central School District. In both capacities, he is known for bringing a smile to the face of others.
"He was really one of a kind," said George "Speedy" Arnold III, a fellow bus driver and bandmate who helped organize the flagpole raising. "There weren't many people in the town that knew him and didn't love him."
Knight's impression on the community could be easily seen Aug. 13 as more than 600 people attended his memorial service at Harmony Golf Club in Port Kent. Many of his close friends called to mind his creativity, confidence, and overall zest for life.
In his spare time, Knight enjoyed the outdoors, taking many opportunities to go hiking, skiing, or

boating. He often put his hand to building and repairing wood furniture.
As his physical capacities slowly gave way to ALS through the last two years of his life, Knight had to give up his career and many of the hobbies he loved. Still, with friends close by his side, he continued to make a positive impact.

Review: THE WIND RISES
By Witney Seibold on February 20, 2014
Hayao Miyazaki's The Wind Rises, reportedly the master animator's final film before his retirement, tells the story of Jiro Horikoshi, a bright-eyed and stirringly intelligent aeronautic engineer, whose passion and talent for designing groundbreaking airplanes led him to be hired by the Japanese government to design warships. Jiro would go on to design the long-range planes that would ultimately be used to bomb Pearl Harbor. This was the plight of many engineers, designers, and scientists during WWII. Unable to find work anywhere else, they opted to channel their energies into the War Machine, often funded by a government that would – for the first time in their careers, in many cases – encourage creativity and feed them a seemingly limitless supply of state-of-the-art tech. What's more, these wartime think tanks were often populated by the best and the brightest, the irony being that an idyllic time of creation and innovation would all be to the ultimate service of killing and destruction.
The Wind Rises has war bubbling up underneath every single frame. The eventual looming threat of violence and, yes, the guilt involved in having a hand in causing said violence, colors the entire film with a melancholy air. While Jiro himself is a peaceful – actually downright blissful – man, the off-screen war is all the audience can think of.
Ironically, my experience of watching The Wind Rises was a peaceful one. Miyazaki typically works with fantastical settings and bizarre monsters, but his films tend to feature a down-to-Earth quality, using small quiet moments of incidental action to great calming effect. He is one of the only animators to pointedly feature scenes of people folding laundry, drinking tea, opening windows, and doing the small, menial, everyday actions that we can all relate to, ultimately serving a realistic, poetic, almost meditative tone. Working with biographical, real-life material for the first time, and dispensing with the magic and monsters he is previously known for, Miyazaki lets his poetic meditations take center stage. As a result, The Wind Rises becomes a near-Edenic look at the world, full of casual heroism, and a long, long string of romantic and emotional triumphs.
Indeed, the film is so very blissed out on its own beauty appreciation that it occasionally tips into non-incident. At 126 minutes, The Wind Rises is a casual, meandering film that eschews dramatic climaxes for random emotional crests. About halfway through the film, Jiro goes on vacation, talks to a German vacationer (voiced in the dubbed version by a sinister Werner Herzog), talks to the woman that will become his wife (!), but essentially just enjoys the quietude of the place. Jiro himself seems unfazed by the anger around him, and is nearly incapable of frustration. He is a strong soul. If, however, you want to see a dramatic turnaround, a noisy confrontation, a fight, a traditional cathartic release in the American sense, you may find yourself disappointed.
The Wind Rises is also a film that centers very heavily on dreams. Miyazaki has always been interested in depicting flight in his films, and complex flying machines have been a regular staple in his canon (Porco Rosso, Castle in the Sky, Kiki's Delivery Service, Spirited Away, Nausicaä, and My Neighbor Totoro have all featured exhilarating flying sequences), so it should only make sense that his final film be about a man who dreamed of flying machines. No doubt Miyazaki will spend his retirement years constructing model airplanes and reading up on the Italian aeronaut Gianni Caproni, who features heavily as a kind-of dreamworld spirit guide for Jiro in The Wind Rises.
The Wind Rises is too quiet to be considered Miyazaki's magnum opus (that honor belongs to Spirited Away), but it will be hard not to be moved by the bliss of it.
Honestly cant wait for the movie that premiers next week here in good ol' Puerto Rico and a tip of the hat must be given to Miyazaki for entertaining, not only me, but a whole generation of anime lovers
[…] By Witney Seibold […]
It's sad enough that most people wouldn't know the difference between a Gundam and an AS suit (from FullMetalPanic). The only time anime is brought up, in a positive light, by anyone in mainstream media are films like this. Which I'm not complaining about, as long as the dub wasn't butchered by the writers or actors. It's just a shame most people only take the chance to experience anime when it's being brought to them by Disney. Although in this case, through Touchstone Pictures.
It's only that much more disappointing that this may be the end of a golden era of anime 'movies' reaching American shores. Let's just hope there are more storytellers out there with the thought-provoking visionary skills that will be needed to fill the inevitable hole Miyazaki's departure will leave in our heart & souls.
If anything, I just wish there would come a day when anime, and all it has to offer, wasn't so flippantly disregarded as kids stuff. Thankfully, Miyazaki's works will be there to help inspire others along the way.
Sorry, meant to say: "except" when it's being brought to them by…

[…] 1. The Wind Rises An incredibly moving swan song from Hayao Miyazaki about Japanese aviation engineer Jiro Horikoshi, the creator of the A-6M World War II fighter plane. Joseph Gordon Levitt's performance as Horikoshi is pitch perfect, and the sound design – using human sounds for machines — adds a level of soul to the film that is undeniable. Read our full review.

Should you choose to persevere, you might think the eatery's interior is a little off-putting, too. Faux gray stone patterns the floor under the hostess stand, giving way to what looks like an army-issue carpet, the color of which reminded me of my husband's face after too many candy apples and upside-down roller coaster rides at the Dade County Youth Fair. With a large-screen TV set blasting news and soccer highlights in German, coupled with a staff and clientele chattering away in that same language, the overall effect is European hotel lobby -- and we're not talking about a five-star hotel.
But if you've managed to get this far, it's well worth your while to stick around.
Just don't order the French onion soup. More like cream of cornstarch, the stuff had a thick, jellylike consistency and a metallic aftertaste. Celery overwhelmed the onions, and even topped with a garlicky piece of toast and melted cheese, the soup was a poor translation. Goulash soup, a Bavarian staple, proved far more inspiring, its paprika-sweet broth enriched with shreds of beef, chunks of potatoes, and chopped onions. Sort of a German chili.
Besides the soups (lobster bisque, bouillon, and traditional liver-dumpling soup are also offered) and salads, only two appetizers are available. Smoked salmon with horseradish sauce was sold out on a recent evening, so we settled for "jumbo shrimps 'Palm Beach,'" an item that turned out to be something of a misnomer. (We'd find this to be a recurring theme.) Eight medium-size crustaceans, alternating with slices of lemon, clung to a goblet containing iceberg lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and shredded carrots. A Russian dressing that coated the salad sufficed for cocktail sauce.
Lacking the potatoes, green beans, and egg halves that traditionally garnish the dish, the Biergerten's rendition of salade niaoise was more like a tuna salad -- a scoop of flaked tuna mixed with onions and house vinaigrette on a bed of iceberg lettuce enlivened by black olives, pickled red cabbage, and thin-sliced white radishes. Quite tasty, but the house salad, served to anyone who orders an entree, easily outshone it. A center of crisp iceberg laden with a cream and dill dressing was surrounded by various chilled salads -- carrot, wax beans, cucumber, and sauerkraut -- all marinated in the best German deli tradition.
Not that you really need the extra food. Portions here can be colossal. Geflugel-geschnetzeltes "Zuricher Art", for instance, boneless pieces of chicken breast meat sauteed in white wine and finished with a rich mushroom cream sauce, a dish whose only flaw was too-dry poultry. Or the pfeffer steak mit grunem pfeffer in rahm sauce, a grilled pepper steak that weighs in, according to the the menu, at 250 grams or nine ounces, depending upon what measurement system you (and your country) use.
We passed over the four steak choices (three strip and one filet) for Biergerten-pfanne, the specialty of the house. Served in a skillet whose handle poked up toward the ceiling, a grilled chopped steak not unlike Salisbury was bathed in herb butter and topped with the same mushrooms in cream sauce that blanketed the chicken. The beef was dense, juicy and soft and spiked with cloves of garlic. Home-fried potatoes were sprinkled with caraway seeds, with a slice of bread pudding providing nice contrast. Creamed vegetables, including cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots, and a dollop of sour cream filled in the last empty pie-wedge of pan.
Treffpunkt Biergurten does seafood as well as it does chopped steak. Eight garlic shrimp were browned in a skillet with diced tomatoes and cloves of garlic. Crowned with sour cream, the shrimp were snappy and succulent, though less filling than the other dishes. Fresh fish were a fleshier story. A fragrant fillet of Atlantic salmon, flaky and tender, was a huge serving. Rather than the herb butter and parsley potatoes with which it was supposed to come, the salmon was dressed with the by-now ubiquitous mushrooms.
Despite the amount of red snapper I've consumed in South Florida, I was still entranced by Treffpunkt's version -- and not only because the menu description was completely wrong. Supposedly grilled and then dunked in a white wine sauce and jimmied with capers and fresh herbs, this fillet was actually pan-fried to a beautifully crisp exterior and a moist interior. A wine and cream sauce blanketed the fish, which was decorated with chopped tomatoes, scallions, and cucumber. An excellent preparation, if not quite the dish I thought I was ordering. A choice of home fries, rice pilaf with mushrooms and peas, or baked potato, as well as the aforementioned vegetable medley, accompanied this and all the other entrees.

TransCard, DeviceFidelity Mobile Wallet
11/30/2012Paybefore Mobile
TransCard, DeviceFidelity Look to MicroSD for New Mobile Wallet
Processor and program manager TransCard is teaming up with NFC technology provider DeviceFidelity to offer a new white-label mobile wallet that will use microSD chips to overcome the dearth of NFC-enabled mobile phones currently in the U.S. market. And while widespread availability of NFC-enabled phones is on the horizon, microSD isn't likely to be going anywhere soon, the companies say. The mobile wallet takes TransCard's existing MasterCard prepaid program and expands it to mobile, enabling banks and financial institutions of all sizes to offer branded mobile wallet functionality to their customers. Cardholders at all existing TransCard client institutions will be able to download an app and register their existing cards to access mobile services including balance info, transaction history, card-to-card transfer and a reload location finder. "TransCard enables financial institutions to offer non-traditional transaction products and this venture embodies that mission," said TransCard CEO Craig Fuller. The wallet will rely on microSD chips that equip existing mobile phones with the capability to make NFC payments—providing a "bridge" from today's lack of NFC-enabled phones to a future in which all mobile devices are equipped with NFC, says Youri Bebic, general manager for prepaid programs, DeviceFidelity. "Three years from now, 100 percent of phones will be NFC," predicts Bebic, noting that NFC technology has functions beyond payments, such as phone-to-phone data sharing. But even once NFC phones achieve ubiquity, he says, microSD chips will remain a useful method for card issuers that want to brand their own mobile wallets rather than existing within a wallet branded by a mobile operator or a major bank. "The small banks that will still want to control issuance of NFC can use a microSD chip that has the credential of the bank," Bebic tells Paybefore. "A solution like this is the only option through which small FIs can have access" to their own branded wallets, he notes. © Copyright 2012 Paybefore. All rights reserved.

With its straight beach and few moored boats, Jomtien is a popular place for water sport enthusiasts, with jetskiing, paragliding, wind surfing and more activities available. And there are offbeat sights and activities to enjoy too: the Pattaya Park Tower with revolving restaurant and panoramic views, paintball and the glitzy cultural show Alangkarn.
Jomtien is at its busiest and most built-up where Thap Phraya Road (a winding road linking South Pattaya with Jomtien) greets the northern end of the beach. Budget guesthouses, luxury hotels and condominiums loom above low-rise restaurants, cafés, beer bars and shops, all of which flank the inland side of Beach Road.
Many thin 'sois' (lanes) run off it, the places for eating and entertainment along these catering mostly to guests in nearby hotels. The further south you go, the less hotels, tourists and commerce there is. The southern stretch of beach known as Jomtien-Sattahip Beach and, with its upmarket marina and many beachfront resorts, feels remote but is easily accessible from Sukhumvit Road.
Getting to and from Jomtien is very easy, making it ideal for a day-time excursion: A 'songthaew' (local taxi) costing 20 baht takes only 10-15 minutes from South Pattaya.
For a paltry sum, deck chairs and large umbrellas can be hired, and their friendly proprietors fix you up with drinks and Thai snacks (salads, seafood, noodles etc). Hawkers with a friendlier, less pushy demeanor than those on Pattaya Beach stroll these sands offering drinks, food, Thai massages, snacks and souvenirs. Bargain if and when necessary.
Lining the road on the opposite side of the beach area is a low-slung parade, with convenience stores and good Thai, international and seafood restaurants. Bored of admiring seaview vistas? Do the beach the grown-up Thai way, and sip glasses of watered down whisky while snacking and sheltering from the sun. Alternatively, hire a bicycle and explore the palm-fringed promenade, or get some friends together for a sunset game on the volleyball court.
If the sea around Pattaya Beach during the day usually resembles rush-hour traffic, then that around Jomtien resembles a huge empty car park. In other words, plenty of room to maneuver. Or slalom, skid, sway, or just plain swim. That's why this long straight 6km stretch of sandy coastline is one of Thailand's most popular for water sport enthusiasts.
With scarcely a commercial boat or fishing trawler to be seen, wind surfing, jetskiing, parasailing, speed boating, water skiing or merely idling in a rubber ring can all be enjoyed without need of fear or 'please-don't-hit-me' flailing. Many operators offer equipment and instruction along the busy northern stretch, including a Water Sports School (on the beach promenade, opposite Soi 6). Several diving shops also offer PADI courses and, if stuck for something to do, pop into the tourist information centre on the promenade opposite Soi 6.

3 kids + 1 good book = great road trip
For this family, choosing a book to read aloud in the car is essential.
Joel Andrews/The Lufkin Daily News/AP/File
My motives for starting our family's tradition of reading in the car were purely selfish: I could not bear the thought of listening to "A Sesame Street Christmas" for another 10 hours. My children had latched onto this cassette on our previous summer's road trip, and Oscar the Grouch's rendition of "I Hate Christmas" ran through my mind for days afterward.
As I began to gather toys and trinkets to entertain my three young children on our next 500-mile car trip, I came across a book I had purchased but never opened, Jim Trelease's "The Read Aloud Handbook." Before long, I was sitting cross-legged on the floor, engrossed in his book and assertion that reading aloud doesn't need to end with picture books and that very young children will listen to chapter books.
This could be the answer to my problem, I thought. Dubious but desperate, I tucked a paperback copy of Roald Dahl's "James and the Giant Peach" into my trip entertainment bag. Mr. Trelease calls Dahl's classic his favorite read-aloud book. We had barely cleared the city limits when whining set in. I opened the paperback and began to read aloud the tale of the orphaned boy who escapes his wicked aunts by hiding inside a giant peach.
My 2-year-old, 5-year-old, and 7-year-old squirmed and wrestled in their seats, but soon they settled into the rhythm of the words and began to listen.
My extended family lives 489 miles away, and our favorite vacation spot is about 700 miles from our home. We soon learned that the simple pleasure of listening to a well-written book makes the long miles pass more quickly.

5 Comments on "And Another Spider Bites"
Until someone's leg falls off.
that the spider venom liquifies the flesh.
This is what I would have done. First, I would have poured a whole bottle of peroxide over it. Then, I would have put a hot water compress over it and I would have scream my heart out because it would have hurt like hell. Then I would have put some more peroxide on it and I would have cut it open with a sterilized knife. And I would have watched it drained. But that's just me. Also, could you please bring Eureka back?
That looks like staph infection not a spider bite.

DISCOVER MOREIf you suffer from dental pain, or think that you could have an abscess, you may need Endodontics or Root Canal Dentistry.

DISCOVER MORE"My brother was looking for a dentist in Philadelphia and asked me if I knew of anyone there. Being a dentist myself, I wanted to make sure that the person whom I refer him to is highly trained so that I can make sure he gets high quality dentistry. I did not want to rely on a dentist's personal website or other dental referral sources or magazines. Top3Dentists.com gave me the tools to find the right dentist for his specific needs. With my knowledge, it probably would have taken me days to possibly find the right dentist for him. Top3Dentists.com has done all the hard work for me. My brother is the happiest, since he received the best quality dentistry has to offer."
~ Dr. D Alkasmi, San Diego"I had my teeth done by a less qualified dentist about one year ago. And I have been unhappy with the way they look ever since. Later on, I found out that anyone dentist can call himself a cosmetic dentist with no training. Thanks to Top3Dentists.com I was able to find a dentist who was highly trained and qualified to give me the smile of my dreams. I could not have done this without the knowledge I got from this site."
~ Joanne Townshend, New Jersey"I was at the end of my ropes with my headaches. I had no idea where to go. My physicians kept changing my medications, the side effects were getting worse and worse. Top3Dentists.com educated me as to why I get the headaches. I also learned that I cannot rely on asking for referrals from my friends since they do not know how to evaluate a dentist's credentials either and I was able to find a qualified, well trained TMJ dentist. Thanks to Dr. J and Top 3 Dentists, I am pain free now."
~ Joel, Minneapolis

The primary subject is bulding professional and effective relationships with your co-workers. -

twilight was a wonderful ,sweet movie and the book was my first love and it still remains one of my best books.i have read it more than ten times.it is such a stress killer .BUT,for the movie ,i like it but,KRISTEN pored acid into it lately and it does not feel the same.the spark of it is gone.use to be a fan of hers but ,not anymore.it will be really difficult watching the movie,but i will watch it eventually much later not now. rob is really a disappointment,but i like his work and will pay attention to his work as year goes by.i also love the rest of the crew.i wish all of them success in what ever they will engage themseves with in times to come.

"Taylor Lautner also appears in the new TV spot, telling the lovebirds, "You guys really look great together." Yes, they do!"
it says Jacob, not Taylor Lautner.
Stop distorting reality.
and in the book Jacob never say it.
it is disgusting that they are always distorts everything.

Its one thing to stay with a cheater because she did it while drunk and the guy was hot, to stay with a Tramp, who fooled around with a married dude is complete different, says a lot about Pattinson's attitude. Wonder how he would feel if Screw would have gone after his dad and ruined his family. I would even understand if these two would have taken their time working things out , but the whole taking her back within weeks tells me he is so whipped and without Standards. Where is all your smarts , telling the world you don't understand why people cheat, You know why they cheat , because whimps like you take them back like nothing happened

I agree.Being a fan of the movie and books is different than being fans of Robert and kristen.I never liked Bella much…was drawn in by Robert and Taylor.BUT…the fact that Robert and kristen were a real life couple add's to the problem.You see Edward/Robert being true kind and loving…You see kristen/bella being needy rude and a cheating ho.I have to see the ending…not for bella…for all the other great characters in the movie. This movie was SO much more than just kristen.She was never my draw to them.She could barley speak a coherent sentence,rather annoying.All the Cullens drew me in along with Charlie.I need to watch for them!
Yes, there is much more to the Twilight series than just Bella. This character got on my nerves. Remember at the end of New Moon when she told Jacob not to ask her to choose as it was always "him", meaning Edward. Then she is saying Jacob and looking so sad as he lopes off. Ridiculous. I also loved all the characters, including Charlie and the school friends. Hope they all do well in their careers. Alice is my favorite. Love that Ashley Greene.
Posted at 7:29 PM on October 27, 2012
In many ways, Rob and Kristen went through their own version of New Moon this summer with the roles reversed. For those that believe that love is more powerful than the "facts" R/K romance is now stronger and deeper than ever. Declarations have been made, forgiveness has been experienced. They are not Edward and Bella, they are something much better, real people who have taught many of us a few things about our own relationships (speaking for myself).
no judgements
Posted at 6:46 AM on October 28, 2012
I agree. people should stop comparing R/K to Edward and Bella. It is ridiculous to excpect a girl to be very nice and loyal as Bella and a guy who's very understanding and forgiving like Edwrard. Nobody's flawless. That only happens in books and movies. Robert and Kristen invented their own real love story, and it's their ife, their choice. we must'nt judge.
real soon

Waiting for that movie is terrible.
Posted at 7:15 PM on October 27, 2012
Anna and Cold: If both of you don't want to see the movie, both of you will loose it. If everybody will knows the true, the real truth behind the Kristen's cheating, everybody will gonna down on knee and begging her to forgive to all yours. But that its your problem, nor mine, and by the way not only read this gossip magazine, at least all of gossip medium wrote more or less the same things, but also I recommended to read the tiw-blogger, they have a lot of information, that no one of you will imagine, also inclusive some of that blogger will made investigation, of all the news that been publicity. (Sorry my English, but I speak whatever)….so before judge, or make justice, because we are not GOD to do it, investigate the news…..its been interesting the things that you will search and find,…..OMG….

my life will be better if I don't pollute my brain with this nonsense. Did you ever read The Bronzed Horseman, now there is a true love Story, I get this taste of vomit in my mouth thinking about the Skank Stewart and all the lies she will say again, watching her fidgeding on the chair trying to form one complete sentence, when I know most what she says is a lie anyway. That woman had me fooled . read gather.com why everybody dislikes Stewart, get educated

Summit made a terrible cruel joke on all the fans by playing with teenage fantasies for comercial purposes with all their PR efforts for portraying Pattinson and Stewart as the "real life" Bella and Edward. For what? Keeping fans buying merchandise and supporting the crappy franchise? Karma hit back: all that collapsed when Kristen's senseless tomfoolery surfaced. I'm sad because of Robert's current image; right after Cosmopolis, where he was directed by Cronenberg (nothing more and nothing less), PR stunts make their best to turn him into a pitiful doormat?. Is this the way Summit/ Lionsgate treat their employees? They use them until all is left of them is a disgusting shell? I'm disappointed with all this -epic finale- (indeed) for the Twilight FIASCO and already worried about what's going to happen to Lilly Collins and Jamie Campbell Bower when TMI's riot explodes next year. I hope both of them will be clever enough not to let Summit/Lionsgate take over their lives and jeopardize their professional careers, particularly Jamie's, who's an uber talented actor. S/L should revise its concept of Ethical Business, especially when they're gaining profits out of the teenage/young adults market.

Here is Russian rating for traditional Russian starters that are good with vodka too.
So meet top 15 Russian appetizers.
Famous Russian pickled cucumbers. It's a must on all the Russian tables, goes fine with any dish. Every Russian know them from the birth.
In Russia bacon is called "SALO" and people it it raw, the less meat and the more fat in it the better it is. They put it in the fridge, right in the freezer, it is not cutted but in one big piece, then take it off, slice it thin and eat with Russian bread and garlic.
Fermented or sour cabbage is number three. It's almost as popular as pickled cucumbers, and every old school Russian party has it. Kids are being told stories that eating this cabbage would let them grow tall and strong. Many Russians especially like drinking it's juice on hangover, together with the pickled cucumbers brine.
Russian meat jelly or aspic. One of the most favourite cold meat dishes from Russia. It takes a lot of meat first boiled and then left in cold place to the jelly appear, then is served with some toppings or just in this way. Almost any Russian would tell you he ate it alot in childhood when family gathered to celebrate some New Year party or something other.
Potatoes. Almost every Russian family eats potatoes daily, and on parties the potatoes is a must too.

So me and this boy called Matthew have been speaking for a few months now; see Matthew is bisexual like me and its like hes me in another life because he goes through everything I go/have gone through!
At first Matthew was just a friend but as we talked more i found myself quiet attracted to him, before any of this me and Matthew were good mates but he got excluded from school and I stopped speaking to him as much, so when i spoke to friends who knew about both me and Matthew being bi they immidiately told me that he was terrible for me that he would give me nothing but misery; I didnt care what anyone thought I knew what i wanted and i wanted him? I told him about my feelings and he admitted to having feelings for me to which just made me like him more!
Whilst taking to each other I found myself liking this girl called Tylesha and Matthew had feelings for this girl called Mariah. Matthew obviously this girl more than me which i didnt mind but he started to get quiet short with me I got quiet confused with myself and Matthew and Tylesha so i tried to ignore Matthew, to try forget about my feelings for him & It wasnt easy! 13 days i managed to ignore him for and on the 14th day he sent me message declaring his feelings just for me & how he would make it up to me and all the rest of it and i believed every word of it and my feelings for him came rushing back this time stronger and more uncontrolable than ever!
We were arguing for a few days about stupid things really but I was so stressed out with him! It felt like he was telling me all this.. Bullshit and in reality it was all lies! To top it off he told me that infact he was not bisexual and he was actual quiet homophobic... Well i nearly died right there on the spot! I felt used and utterly stupid. We had the biggest argument that night and It was hurtful the things that we said to each other but at the time, i meant it every word of it
The next day he asked for me to listen to a song: Half the world away by Oasis :) He told me that he had aspergers syndrome and that the song explained how he felt about it and how he coped with it. I was so confused at that point, i wasnt familar with the symptoms or effects of aspergers and I was so confused by the fact he wanted me to understand him better right after we fell out? But i listen and I had never found a song so beautiful in my life, I had heard that song countless times but never had i listened to it in such a prespective. Right there i realised how much i truely cared for Matthew. I want this boy so much, I find everything about him interesting or attractive or just amazing! But hes started talking to me like he still has feelings for me again? What does that mean? Is he still going through a phase? Do i question it? I dont know what he feels aboit me anymore?
Seems needlessly confrontational given you both barely know anyone else bi...
Just go slow, tell him you are being cautious because you like him but don't want go get hurt in the process, and see if that makes him a bit less dickish. It does seem a bit odd to push people away from you who might sleep with you. ;-)
"You don't know you're beautiful." - Harry Styles
I did think that i might just like him because he is the only bi boy that i know? But i find hes personality amazing and hes hot to, haha!
Yeah ill see how he reacts to that and if he wants to be a dick about it, two can play that game ;) No Ill just tell him to stop giving me mixed messages if he doesnt like it. I might take things a little slower than that though ;-)

Naperville Area Humane Society Celebrates Its Grand Reopening
The Naperville Area Humane Society (NAHS) invites the community to participate in its renovation celebrations. Two grand opening events are scheduled at the NAHS shelter. The Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce will be on hand to hold an official ribbon cutting on Wednesday, July 23 at 4:00 p.m. A public Open House is scheduled for Saturday, July 26, from noon to 3:00 p.m. All are welcome to stop in and tour the newly renovated shelter. A retro 80's themed party is planned to honor the era of the original building. Refreshments and a raffle will be part of the festivities. Staff will be on hand to answer questions about the new improvements, upcoming events or pet related queries. Pet adoptions will also be held.
Thanks to the generous support of donors and local sponsors, NAHS has updated its aging facility to create a more secure haven for animals in need. Design improvements focused not only on the pets' needs but were also developed to create a more energy efficient building. Being energy efficient will help reduce costs which in turn will help save more homeless animals.
Originally built in 1988, many of the buildings features started to show wear. Chipped paint, outdated chain link fencing and crumbling cinderblock created potential hazards. New state-of-the-art dog kennels were installed to create a safer environment and improve the viewing and interaction with potential adopters. Epoxy flooring laid throughout the shelter is easier to clean and helps aid in disease control. Insulated windows replaced old glass block providing for enhanced lighting, improved circulation and ability to allow fresh air into the shelter. New eco-friendly lighting, fresh paint, and a new counter top give the reception area a cheerful fresh look, one that reflects the joyful happenings that occur within the walls. A flat screen monitor not only keeps visitors up-to-date on shelter news, events and adoptions but will be utilized as an interactive element with the many educational programs held with school age children. An updated fire and security system was also installed.
To learn more about the Open House, or ways to make a difference in the lives of shelter animals, please contact Executive Director Anna Payton at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Naperville Area Humane Society is a private, not-for-profit organization founded in 1979 to promote the humane treatment of companion animals and create lasting human-animal bonds. For more information about NAHS, visit www.NapervilleAreaHumaneSociety.org or call (630) 420-8989.

Two black silhouettes {TFFF-Entry: "I'm observing you, Tony" - Round 3}
Two black silhouettes
Rating: K+ Words: 383 Summary: A short moment in Paris… Two black silhouettes are lying in a cozy bed in the middle of the night. When one of them changes the position, the other one does so too. Like magnets they are bond together, they aren't able to leave the other alone. She opens her big brown eyes. Her hand is in his hand. Her lover. Her co-worker. Her soulmate. She walks on the balcony of the small of hotel room. Her lungs fill with cold, fresh air; it nearly brings her to tears. It's still early morning and the sun begins to rise on the horizon. Only a short, thin cashmere lingerie covers her body and doesn't prevent the cold making her shiver. Ziva doesn't mind. She just wants to enjoy this beautiful day. From behind, he walks to her and puts his arms around her waist. Tony rests his head on her shoulder and kisses her neck. Her hair smells of lavender, the few sunbeams make it sparkle like diamonds. Two black silhouettes stand on a balcony in the middle of Paris. His fingers run down her back. Tony feels her warm skin and the cruel scars on it. She has a lot of them on her body. Too much. Marks, which wouldn't be there if he had protected her. In his eyes, it is his fault. "I'm observing you, Tony." Ziva whispers with a quiet voice. Her hands grab his and pull them away from her scars. "I won't hurt you, Zee." he says. She nods, but nonetheless she pushes him away. Tony steps next to her, a few centimeters away from her, to give her personal space. "These scars… They belong to me. They remember me about my pain. I just…" she tries to explain herself and her avoiding reaction. Tony put his index finger on her mouth and stops her talking. Their eyes meet and everything is said. No word has to be spoken by one of them, they let their eyes talk. "Shh. Stop talking." Now Ziva is the one who invades in his personal space. She puts her arms around Tony and lets him through the wall, she carefully built. Two black silhouettes embrace each other, while the sun is rising. They both know their time is flying, and they are willing to spend the rest of it together. Next to their lover, until they have to go back into the light, where their silhouettes don't exist. A/N: This is a really short story, I know, but I thought it would fit. Please comment. |
