Is this the Grossest PETA US Ad Yet?
Our colleagues at PETA US have come up with an ad that visualises just what eggs really are: chicken menstruation. It is a thought that makes us cringe, but chicken periods are exactly what you're eating every time you fry, scramble or bake with eggs. We'll spare you the full ad, but we've included a censored version below. If you are brave enough, visit PETA US' website to see the full version.
As well as being gross, eggs are cruel. Birds suffer crippling leg injuries from standing … Read more.

Funimation hosted their anime no Hulu (known for their obligatory adverts) which was an immediate turnoff for me. Since then I discovered Funimation is hosting anime themselves. A paid membership will get rid of commercials. Barakamon was the first show I added to my queue. I've also added other shows not available on Crunchyroll like Psycho-pass, Dangan Ronpa, and To aru Kagaku no Railgun.

Kiki's Delivery Service OST on Amazon
I didn't realized my CD was a Korean import until it arrived. Not that it matters as long as it's not bootleg. The obi strip says "PONYCANYON KOREA." The tracks are exactly the same. Inside there's a sticker of the front cover art. iTunes Japan also has Kiki's OST except it's missing the last two tracks.
Watching anime on my new 80″ tv
I replaced my 50″ Pioneer Elite plasma with an 80″ Sharp AQUOS LED. I like the picture better on the plasma–The picture was clear and bright at any angle. You have to be sitting directly in front of the LED to see clearly. Also, the Sharp's color seems unnatural. It takes some getting used to. The Sharp is perfect for anime though. It's nice watching Crunchyroll on a tv this big at 1080i. I'm using a Mac Mini. You might see it below the screen.
Watching Crunchyroll @ Work
I love the fact I can watch Crunchyroll during my break at work. I'm not limited to watching on my phone either. I hook my Droid Razr to the TV using a HDMI to HDMI micro cable.

Supporting Someone During Their Adoption Process
Helpful tips for what to say and do
Michelle Shirk
November 2013
The adoption process is often compared to a roller coaster. Many prospective adoptive families spend months or even years completing paperwork and waiting for placement of a child, and some encounter significant setbacks along the way.
The journey that ultimately led my husband and me to a successful domestic infant adoption was a lengthy one. However, to say our amazing daughter was worth the wait would be a tremendous understatement! I am confident that we ended up with exactly the right child for our family and will remain forever grateful to our wonderful family and friends for their support along the way.
If you know someone in the process of building a family through adoption, you may be wondering what you can do to help. Below are some tips for providing support to a prospective adoptive family before and after the placement of a child in their home.

Understand the type of adoption involved.
Adoptive families can be formed in a variety of ways including international adoption, domestic infant adoption, adoption through the foster care system and stepparent adoption. Adoption.com and similar websites provide excellent background information on the various types of adoption, but keep in mind that rules can vary depending on the state, country and/or agency involved.
Offer tangible assistance.
Families in the adoption process sometimes need a favor. Many if not all candidates for adoption will require reference letters from friends or family members. Some may also need photographs for a profile book, help spreading the word about their interest in adopting or just a listening ear. If you want to help out but aren't sure what you can do, just ask.
Celebrate significant milestones.
Depending on the type of adoption involved, landmark moments might include making the decision to adopt, completing the home study process, matching with an expectant mother or receiving the referral of a child. There are many ways to acknowledge these milestones. To celebrate the start of our process, one thoughtful friend gave us a picture frame intended to hold a photo of our future child. Others simply told us how excited they were when they learned about progress we had made. A handwritten note or card would also be a nice gesture.
Acknowledge setbacks and disappointments.
The "lows" of the adoption process can include anything from a paperwork snafu to a failed match with an expectant mother. If you aren't sure what to say in such a circumstance, try a simple "I'm thinking about you."
After Placement of a Child
Offer the use of baby supplies.
Because the adoption timeline is often uncertain, some prospective adoptive families choose not to purchase many baby supplies in advance. This approach saved our sanity during the wait but left us scrambling when we received word our daughter had been born several states away. Fortunately, friends provided us with clothing and supplies left over from their own children to help us get through the first few weeks. If you're already a parent, consider loaning your dormant diaper genie or baby washcloths to a family in the early stages of parenthood.
Respect privacy about the details of the adoption.
Adoptive families have varying comfort levels regarding the information they wish to share about their fertility history, their child's biological parents and the circumstances that lead to the adoption. The closeness of your relationship with the individuals involved obviously impacts the types of questions that are appropriate. Regardless of the situation, though, try to avoid putting new parents on the spot about issues they seem hesitant to discuss.
Focus on adoption as the desired outcome.
Adoption should be treated as a wonderful way to build a family, not a second best option. Comments such as, "Are you still going to try to have your own child?" are better left unsaid.
Celebrate the end of the adoption process.
In some cases, an adoption is not finalized until after a child has been home for weeks or months. It's a big deal to be legally recognized as parents, so consider offering a hearty "Congratulations!" when this milestone is reached. If you are particularly close with the family, you may even wish to offer to attend the final court hearing. We were touched and honored to have family members willing to travel by plane to celebrate the finalization of our adoption. I look forward to sharing photos and memories from this trip with our daughter as she grows.
The suggestions above are neither mandatory nor all-inclusive, but simply a starting point to help you support a prospective adoptive family in your circle. Like most journeys, the adoption process is a lot more fun with family members and good friends along for the ride!

I don't know about GA laws. However, I got a CWP to carry a gun concealed. I don't care for open carry in public places for a few reasons. 1. You'll upset the sheeple. They don't know why you've got a gun strapped to your side. It makes them uneasy, and it makes them call the police. Be prepared to deal with an unnecessary hassle. 2. You're going to be challenged by LEOs if they see you. Another hassle you don't need. 3. Most importantly... I carry to protect myself. I feel I have a better chance having the element of surprise. Carrying in the open makes you a target. In a situation you'll be the first person to be shot. Or they will make sure to take you down and relieve you of your gun. It can also make brazen criminals decide to attack you just to get a free gun. All around it's asking for trouble. But hey, I know a lot of people do it to assert their 2A rights. If you're fine with those potential problems, then go ahead. Just don't go out there looking for a confrontation with a LEO to try and prove a point. I've seen You Tube videos of people like that. It's pretty immature and gives the rest of us a bad name.
Very good points. I have to admit, i have carried in the open just bc i was "flexin" my 2nd A rights. Majority of the time now its cc. On occasion i carry in the open bc i didnt wanna fight w/the holster. Im tryin to find a comfortable cc holster for my glock 27 and soon i hope to get the xds 45.
In a hypothetical situation where you are open carrying and I'm the bad guy; I'd shoot you first. - cane
Don't question my right to own a gun and I won't question your stupidity not to. You give Peace a chance, we will cover you if it doesn't work out.

In Mississippi (where I'm originally from) every public library that gets even a single penny of government funding, also gets a complete law library. The updates come out every year in paperback, and every ten years they get a complete new law library in hardback. Get thee to a local library and check. If they have the code books (Mississippi libraries keep them for state, county, and city), then you can look it up yourself with your own two eyeballs. Make copies of the relevant information. Then hope you don't come across a criminal with Canebrake's idea while your open carrying. FWIW, I OC myself. Because it's not only legal in Louisiana, but it's also pretty common knowledge, and I haven't found myself in a position yet to be able to pay for the privilege of exercising my infringed rights.

They're not called Supers for nothing! Kate, Naomi, Stephanie and co reunite for Interview's seven September covers
- The seven beauties also reflect on their careers over the past two and three decades
Kate Moss, Linda Evangelista and Naomi Campbell may have made their names in the Nineties, but a new set of magazine covers proves they can still blow the current crop of models out of the water.
The trio join fellow Supers Christy Turlington, Amber Valletta, Stephanie Seymour and Daria Werbowy for a series of seven covers for Interview Magazine's fall fashion issue.
The showstopping images were shot by fashion photographer stars Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, and show each woman both clothed and nude in raw black-and-white images.
She's still got it: Stephanie Seymour, now 45 and a mother-of-four, laments the way actors now land many of the major campaigns and covers that once used to be the sole domain of models
The issue - dedicated to the business of modeling - also sees the seven beauties reflect on their careers over the past two and three decades.
Kate Moss, now 39, says that the first time she went to Paris to walk in a John Galliano show, nobody backstage even realized she was a model.
'All the girls were lined up, and I remember [make-up artist] Stéphane Marais said to me, "Are you in the show?" I said, "Yeah." . . . He's like, "Oh my god, get her done quick." [laughs] I was just sitting there all day. I'd been there since, like, 10 in the morning. They just didn't take me for a model.'
usually interview-shy model also spoke about how protective she is of
her daughter, Lila, 11, joking that she is going to lock her up when she
turns 14. She doesn't expect Lila to become a model anytime soon though.
'At the moment, she's definitely not into that,' she said. 'She's not into having her picture taken. She gets shy.'
said, Lila does love Instagram - and while Ms Moss largely rejects
social media such as Twitter, she does have an Instagram account too,
albeit with only 25 followers because she refuses to make her username public.
Natural beauty: Amber Valletta, now 39 and a self-confessed 'hockey mama', admits she struggled to gain credibility as an actress because she started her career as a model
Mistaken for a nobody? Kate Moss, now 39, says that the first time she went to Paris to walk in a John Galliano show, nobody backstage even realized she was a model
Stephanie Seymour, now 45 and a mother-of-four, tells Interview about her first shoot - a 'Cosmo Tells All' feature, when she was 14.
'They would take a picture of a girl and then write something like "How do you have the best orgasm?" or "How do you get your hair as big as you want it?" I was the picture of a girl with big hair. . . I remember going to the grocery store before school to get it when it came out. I was so excited.'
She also laments the way actors now land many of the major campaigns and covers that once used to be the sole domain of models.
'I would like to see fewer actors modeling - or if they're going to model to the extent that they are modeling, then I think that models should be actors,' she said.
'Nowadays, if you want to be a model, then you should probably become an actor. That's the only way to get the great campaigns'
Stephanie Seymour
'Nowadays, if you want to be a model, then you should probably become an actor. That's the only way to get hired to do the great advertising campaigns that are really interesting or the magazine covers, and it's hard to build a name for yourself as a model without those things.'
Amber Valletta, too, reflects on the crossover between the two careers and admits she struggled to gain credibility as an actress because she started her career as a model.
'I definitely think that being a model makes it more difficult to be taken seriously,' she said. 'And I understand. I don't take it seriously sometimes. You can't.'
Now 39 and a self-confessed 'hockey mama', Ms Valletta admits that her time as a presenter of MTV's House of Style in 1996 'was not a good period for me, personally.'
She said: 'We'll put it this way, I wasn't always present for that, even though my body was there.'
She reveals she burst into tears on the set of her first job - an advertorial for Vogue Italia - because she didn't know what to do.
Ms Valletta says it was a haircut - a waifish pixie cut no less - that propelled her to new heights in the industry, as her previous bob made her look much older than her then 18 years.
Changing times: Naomi Campbell believes young models today are missing that connection with designers, now that they are separated by layers of casting directors and stylists
Eternally youthful: Christy Turlington, who started modeling in her hometown of Miami at 13, is still doing lingerie campaigns for Calvin Klein at the age of 44
'I was on castings for the shows, and I bumped into [hairdresser Yannick d'Is] and Ward Stegerhoek - another big-time hairdresser - and they looked at me and said, "Let's cut your hair off.". . . And then literally overnight everything changed. I worked with Steven Meisel within a month and a half and I booked every show.'
Linda Evangelista, 48, was almost put off entirely after getting caught up in a modeling course 'scam' at the age of 16.
'I was chosen by a Japanese agency to go over to Japan for the summer to work. . .,' she recalled. 'It was a catastrophe. They wanted me to take my clothes off and shoot me naked.
'It was a nightmare and I panicked and basically the Canadian Embassy helped me out. I was there about two days and went home, saying, "I don't want anything to do with this ever again.'
'I was chosen to go to Japan to work... It was a catastrophe. They wanted me to take my clothes off and shoot me naked'
Linda Evangelista
She admits that after getting signed by Elite, she and her fellow models all got bedbugs on a trip to Paris, and so her mother had to pay for her to change hotels.
Despite her efforts, she says she 'wasn't an overnight success' and was told that she would last three years if she was lucky.
'I didn't dream higher than what I was doing,' she said. 'I just felt
fulfilled that I was working and doing things and being paid for it. I
never imagined Vogue or doing Versace. I didn't think I qualified for
Turlington, whose first job was for the Miami department store,
Burdines, at the age of 13, had a more gentle introduction to the industry, and recalls how her mother would take her for
frozen yogurt before her bookings.
'I started modeling clothes for my age group but quickly moved into doing cosmetic and jewelry ads, which was funny to me at that age,' she said.
Now, at the age of 44, she is still modeling - posing in her underwear for Calvin Klein's latest campaign.
Scary start: Linda Evangelista, 48, was almost put off entirely after getting caught up in a modeling course 'scam' at the age of 16
Driven by adventure: Daria Werbowy, 29, says she was always quite a reluctant model - so it comes as some surprise to her that she has ended up doing it so long
needed to think seriously about the CK
underwear campaign, because I knew it would be everywhere, and I wasn't
sure I wanted to be photographed in my underwear now that I'm a mother,'
she admitted. 'But I knew the images would be tasteful and I liked the
idea of
continuing a relationship with a brand that I grew up with.'
her relationship with the brand has not always been straightforward.
When she first signed a contract prohibiting her from working with any
other label, in 1988, she felt limited by it.
'I didn't feel that I was given the best advice at the time from my agency and I didn't have my own lawyer,' she said. 'I was young and wasn't ready to be locked up. I made the most of the time, but I missed the pace I was just starting to enjoy.'
Naomi Campbell, 43, who also continues to model today, says that she has been in the industry so long, the fashion world is like a family. For the young faces coming into the industry though, it is a different environment altogether.
'When I started out, there weren't casting directors and there weren't stylists, so you just dealt directly with the designer'
Naomi Campbell
'When I started out modeling, there weren't casting directors and there weren't stylists, so you just dealt directly with the designer,' she said. 'We were all much closer back then . . . we all hung out when we weren't working. . .
She believes young models today are missing that connection with designers, now that they are separated by casting directors and stylists.
She says she owes her success to the support of women including her mother and fellow model Iman and the 'amazing men in [her] life', Gianni Versace and her 'Papa' Azzedine Alaïa.
Of the late Versace, she says, 'Every 15th of July, no matter where I am in the world, I always go to church and light a candle.'
Daria Werbowy, who at 29 is the youngest of Interview's 'iconic' group, says she was always quite a reluctant model - so it comes as some surprise to her that she has ended up doing it so long.
These days, she admits, she is still bemused by her success.
'Sometimes I am still surprised that I'm a model and that people think I'm good-looking,' she says. I've gone through a lot of different phases on what I do and why I do it—morally and ethically. . . I just had to learn to look at it as a job, as opposed to identifying myself as a model and thinking of myself as a part of this industry.'
Today, adventure and travel drive her. Ms Werbowy even sailed across the Atlantic with her family in 2008 - something she says she would 'do again in a heartbeat'.
'My dad. . . found a junkyard boat and restored it, and it was his dream to sail across the Atlantic,' she said. 'So we did. It all came true. We had some funny issues along the way - like, not enough fuel at one point. It was one of the best experiences of my life.'

There was also a day in which you had to throw on a suit to get a good meal in a restaurant. Luckily, times have changed and neither are true any longer. That's what makes Brule Bistro so damned good. The Pineapple Grove spot is part French, part American, and the ideal combination. Starters like corn dusted oyster sliders with smoked aioli and housemade brioche or entrees like grilled angus hangar steak with brandy peppercorn sauce and fingerling potato hash combine French elegance with American innovation.

The estimable Ronald Torreyes, who normally bats leadoff, was inserted in the 3-hole, and responded with a typical game: 2 for 4 with a triple. He played SS today. More often, he's at 3B.
Mark Fleury is 3-3 for the Dragons. He has been absolutely on fire for the last 3 weeks or so.
Billy Hamilton just doubled in the 3rd. He is now 2-2.
Carolinas game should be starting soon.
Billings is down 2-0 in the 4th inning.

I travel to Serbia quite often and I must say that this hotel was the best place to stay. Perhaps only drawback was the fact that not all personnel was speaking English

Actor Shia LaBeouf has been in and out of court a lot lately, but this time it was to get a restraining order against someone else who was allegedly behaving badly.
Graciela Nahle, 31, was ordered to stay 100 yards away from the "Transformers" star, although it's unclear if she'll choose to obey it. According to TMZ, Nahle thinks that LaBeouf is "Albert Einstein" and wants to "blow up the world," so her judgment might be a bit off-kilter.
What else should LaBeouf fans know about the restraining order?

I'm 45. I feel absolutely, thoroughly, immutably, and completely no shame or guilt in saying the man is sexy as hell and i just wanna mug him. mostly because i love his sense of humor and kindness. i for one am very glad he got himself sober. it was sad before to watch him from afar.
you girls wouldn't be expected to have the hots for someone so far out of your league in years. but, beauty such as his, ah. it's like the finest painting. when you see it, it can't help but be admired. men such as he are rare and beautiful...

Overall... Quite Good Good not GREAT value. I do think they're still a bit overpriced but not by much. That being said these are my go-to sheets. I like a crisp, tailored high-end hotel feeling bed. If you want that soft, wrinkly look and feel that is trendy right now these are not for you. I have black sets and white sets. Both need a little care when washing. Black especially. Will fade slightly over time if you don't was in cold with gentle detergent. So I can't mix older sheets with newer ones. But with all the other pluses this bedding has going for it this is not a huge issue. BTW.. the oldest set I own is 3 years old and going strong. Can't say that about most sheets. And I'm pretty particular about my bedding!

A feeling of luxury you can get used to I bought these sheets from Overstock to go with a new queen foam/gel mattress as part of my apartment re-do. I splurged for the 1500 thread count having never had sheets with this many. The look and feel of the sheets is really quite wonderful. They are heavier than any sheets I've had before. Consequently when laundering you may wish to run a load with just this set in there. Also I had to let them air dry a bit to get them completely dry. I draped them over the shower rod with a fan on them for an hour or so. Overall I'm very pleased with this purchase. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is that the sheets are a tad stiff. However I suspect this issue will abate over time with use. I'm planning to buy a second set of sheets in a complimentary color to have on hand so I can remake the bed quickly while the other set is in the laundry and/or drying over the shower curtain rod.

Egyptian Cotton 1500 TC Sheet Set I originally bought a set of these sheets in Cal King Medium Blue. I loved them so much that I bought two sets of the matching King pillowcases, and another sheet set and two more pillowcase sets in the Sage color. The 1500 TC pillowcase colors match the 1500 TC sheets perfectly, and are as pictured. Both Medium Blue sheets and pillowcases are a saturated medium blue color, although the Sage color is slightly less saturated than the picture on my monitor shows. Both Med Blue and Sage feel and look to be very expensive and high-quality. The sheets are very deep, and easily fit my 14 inch mattress with a mattress pad underneath, with room to spare. But People, PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH before you buy high Thread Count sheets. Don't give low reviews, or waste your money, simply because you were ignorant of what you were ordering. High TC sheets start out being heavy and a little stiff when you first open the package, but they soften up by washing and using them. The higher the TC, the heavier the sheets, so these sheets are heavy. Lower thread count sheets will be initially more pliable and more "airy" feeling, because there are fewer threads per square inch, so they actually are more airy since there is more air between threads. If you like light weight, airy sheets, get low TC or cotton-blend sheets. Initial softness in cotton sheets depend on the quality of the cotton used, and whether they have been pre-softened before you buy them. Having your sheets pre-softened means that they are usually more expensive, because of the extra time and processes involved. These sheets have not been pre-softened, so we are able to buy them cheaper than you would otherwise. Also note that all cotton sheets, especially higher TC sheets, WILL WRINKLE and take more time to dry! If you have multiple sets, which I recommend, fold the other set when it comes out of the dryer, putting your folded pillowcases between the bottom and top sheets so the weight naturally presses them, and put the set away. When you take them out to change sheets, the folded set will have lost most of the wrinkles. By alternating sheet sets, and folding the unused set, you shouldn't have to iron your sheets. If you are still unsatisfied with your minor wrinkles, or if you only have one set, you can iron your sheets if it really bugs you. These particular sheets are beautiful and have held up well after washing. They are exactly what you would expect from 1500 TC sheets, will last forever, and are far less expensive on the big O than elsewhere.

great sheets For a college graduation gift, we bought a new bed and mattress set for our daughter. We wanted it to be extra special so we bought her these 1500 count Egyptian sheets to go with it. She has mentioned several times how much she loves her sheets. Before purchasing these sheets we went to several department stores in the area and found nothing close to the quality of these sheets. They cost as much and/or more as these sheets yet they were much thinner and cheaper feeling. She loves the med blue color which we couldn't find anywhere else and she loves how thick and comfortable they are. She doesn't know it yet but we just ordered her the matching duvet cover for Christmas. We will be purchasing these sheets for our own bed as after seeing the quality of her sheets, it is difficult to be satisfied with our own much thinner sheets. In my opinion, it is well worth the extra money to buy these 100% Egyptian 1500 thread count sheets. What is more important than getting a good night of sleep? These sheets can make any bed feel comfortable and luxurious. One down side of these sheets is that they can wrinkle quickly if you don't put them on the bed immediately after they come out of the dryer, but our cheaper sheets are also like that.

Sleep like the rich and famous! These sheets are fabulous. The difference between a 1500 count sheet and the standard 400-600 is dramatic. I now want to dump all of my other sheet sets and replace them with more of these. They almost have a canvas-like weight to them, but they are dense and soft , and they feel fantastic. To temper my enthusiastic rave, I should note that my husband can't tell the difference between these sheets and our other, cheaper sets. So some folks may not be impressed, but I am wild about them. If you are the least bit picky about your bedding, you'll be in heaven if you get these.

Don't buy You would think that 1500 "Egyptian Cotton" means exactly what it says; however, upon arrival the package read "Egyptian Gotton". That is exactly what happened. I had been "gotten". Within three week the TWO sets of sheets I bought were fuzzed up so bad I could not sleep on them. These sheets had only been washed two times: once upon purchase and once upon use. When I returned them to O.CO I was gotten AGAIN with over $$$ in "re-stock" fees for sheets that were a piece of crap to begin with. I will never shop at O.Co. again.

A real disappointment! Buyer Beware I loved these sheets when I first received them! So much so that I ordered another pair. Then after a few months I noticed something peculiar about these sheets. The area where I sleep on seems to have developed pilling and is extremely uncomfortable to sleep on. I am extremely disappointed that this happened. I have a front load washer and dryer and followed all instructions for washing that were listed. I have bought sheets from Overstock.com for years and always loved them but this experience has made me reconsider my choice. Now I have two expensive pairs of sheets that I am wondering I can use for anything else. It did not happen right away so I assumed they were good. I am going to contact the company but I assume that it is too late to return. It is a shame as the color was vibrant and the heaviness of the sheets led me to believe that they would last a long time!

Hello floridasunshine2013, Fully elasticized fitted sheet fits mattress sizes up to 18 deep. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions. Thank you for shopping with us!
I got the Queen...and the pockets are deep before washing. Do not dry in dryer. Takes a day to hang and dry inside...maybe shorter outside in the warm air. Dryer will make it shrink. I have a Queen I now use on a Full...because I didn't know and dried it in the dryer. You can put it in the dryer when it is about 1/2 dry just to get the wrinkles out but don't leave it in for more than a few minutes. Seriously. It will shrink.
I dried my sheets in the dryer. They have never shrunk and I have 3 sets.
I purchased this set 2 years ago and have been happy with it for the most part. The only problem is the fitted sheet is now thread bare an every thing else is fine. Can i purchase or obtain just the fitted sheet?

Bed Sheet Thread Count Fact Sheet
The thread count of bed sheets refers to the number of threads per square inch of fabric. For example, if a square inch of fabric in a 300-thread count sheet with a standard weave were examined closely, 150 vertical threads and 150 horizontal threads would be counted, for a sum total of 300. The higher the thread count, the softer and smoother the sheets will be. Thread count is an important consideration to take when choosing a new set of sheets, but it should not be used as a sole indicator of quality. Equally important in choosing a bed sheet is the type and quality of the materials used as well as the fabric's weave.

Sprint's ongoing craptacular financial progress continues with a $211 million net loss in the first quarter of 2007. They added a scant 600,000 subscribers, versus Verizon's 1.7 million and AT&T's 1.2 million, which counts for even less given the 220,000 post-paid subscriber loss. Despite this, Sprint's sticking to their guns and claiming between $41 and $42 billion in revenue for 2007. Three quarters to go, Sprint, better get crackin'.

""To be ignorant and simple now - not to be able to meet the enemies on their own ground - would be to throw down our weapons, and to betray our uneducated brethren who have, under God, no defense but us against the intellectual attacks of the heathen.

Notes from the Manager
Aaaand, that's the end of this arc, more or less. Obviously, things will be followed through with, because we've got a whole lot of comics left in Book 5. :)
I've added a few new prints to the selections, including #100 panel 7 (the Texas Chainsaw Massacre panel) and #355 panel 7 (the popular panel of the girls in their Star Trek uniforms) and large prints of the three classic movie theaters that Jason and Devi have visited in the past. I'm sure the movie theater print will only appeal to a handful of people, but… whatevs. I'm proud of those drawerings.
As always, if there are other panels or strips that you'd like to see prints of, just let me know!
UPDATE: By the way, in case you don't remember Chewie not getting a medal, here's the clip:
And now we know what Chewie's saying just before the credits roll: "Where's my fuckin' medal?!"

Shakhtar Donetsk manager Mircea Lucescu has confirmed Brazil midfielder Willian is expected to join Anzhi Makhachkala, depriving Premier League sides Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur of a player both have been extensively linked with, according to ESPN.
The 24-year-old was the subject of a transfer deadline day offer from the wealthy Russian club that met his £35m release clause, despite Lucescu feeling Willian was leaving Ukraine too soon.
He said: "There is a club willing to pay the release clause in his contract and Willian agreed to move. There is nothing I can do.
"To tell you frankly, I tried to convince him to stay because I think his decision is hasty and not thought out well enough. He is like a son to me."
Chelsea and Spurs are known to have been previous suitors for Willian but were blown out of the water by the depth of Anzhi's pockets. Anzhi sold Christopher Samba to Queens Park Rangers on Thursday, freeing up even more money.
Anzhi are two points behind CSKA Moscow in the Russian league and are coached by former Netherlands and Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink. Samuel Eto'o, formerly of Barcelona and Inter is the club captain, while they face a Europa League double-header with Bundesliga side Hannover when the competition resumes next month.

Inhabitants Mike Chino, Diane Pham, Philip Proefrock, and Lea Bogden happily spent part of their Fridays pedaling around their cities looking for these impromptu green spaces. Definitely a day of diversity and splendid eclecticism, we were charmed by the various interpretations across the board — while cities like Chicago and San Francisco went wild with the greenery, creating gorgeous green spaces for people to play on, New York City channeled its own frenetic energy and formed fun spots where people could jive to live tunes and create some art. By the end of it all we each found ourselves more than impressed by the spirit of community, and really, we just couldn't get over the thought of how much cooler cities would be with more green spaces and less cars!

About Us
Development Review
We are a "one-stop shop" for all of your development needs. And your one-stop point of contact will be a Project Planner from Current Planning. We hope this streamlines your development review which involves collaboration from many City departments and local businesses (for example, those providing telecommunications and water). We review and evaluate all Project Development Plans (PDPs) and Overall Development Plans (ODPs), as well as annexations, re-zonings, subdivisions, site plans, landscape plans, and lighting plans. We provide information and advice on land use, urban design, and choosing the most appropriate review process for each project while adhereing to the policies in our Land Use Code. For more information about how development review works, visit the Development Review Guide at fcgov.com/drg. Current Planning is the primary staff support for the Planning and Zoning Board.
Zoning reviews sign permits, basic development reviews, minor amendments, home occupations, setbacks, parking requirements, and permitted uses. They respond to concerns regarding possible zoning violations and work with property owners to remedy any problems. They use the Land Use Code when completing reviews and making decisions. Zoning is also located in the Development Review Center at 281 North College Avenue. Zoning is also the primary staff support for the Zoning Board of Appeals.
Building Services
Buidling is responsible for a wide variety of services associated with construction like reviewing building plans, issuing building permits, performing building inspections, licensing contractors, issuing demolition permits, enforcing health and safety issues as related to structures (including wiring, plumbing, etc.), and enforcing the Rental Housing Standards, including the "three unrelated" or occupancy law. They use the Building, Land Use, and Municipal Codes during the course of work.
Neighborhood Services
Neighborhood Services deals with many neighborhood nuisance problems such as weeds, junk, snow shoveling, and more. These are code compliance problems related to ordinances and part of the City's Municipal Code rather than the Land Use Code. Neighborhood Services is located upstairs at 281 North College Avenue; not in the Development Review Center. They do work closely with Building Services and Zoning to insure compliance.

Really? She works downtown, lives in the 700 block of E Johnson, gets a free bus pass as an alder, and she ends up getting a ticket for parking her car too long and too frequently in the Municipal lot?
Admit it, Alder M, you're too lazy to walk or bike, too cheap to pay for parking downtown, and feel the bus is beneath you. Or you are perpetually late. Hmmm... I think I've hit on the answer.

1. Get the supplies you'll need:
2. Wash your hands.
3. Check the insulin bottle to make sure it hasn't expired.
4. Remove the lid from the insulin bottle.
5. Wipe the rubber top of the bottle with an alcohol swab.
6. Remove the cap from the syringe.
Note: This information is for educational purposes only. For specific guidance on giving an insulin injection, talk with your doctor.
Pull air into the syringe by pulling back on the plunger until its black tip is even with the line showing the dose you'll need.
Push the needle through the rubber top of the bottle.
Push the plunger so that the air goes from the syringe into the bottle.
Turn the insulin bottle and syringe upside down. To pull insulin into the syringe, slowly pull back on the plunger until the top of its black tip is even with the line showing your dose.
The most common places to inject insulin are the abdomen (belly), the back of the upper arms, the upper buttocks, and the outer thighs. Choose a place to make the injection, and wipe the skin with an alcohol swab.
Gently pinch the skin. Hold the syringe at a 90-degree angle to the skin, and push the needle all the way in.
Let go of the pinched skin, and slowly push the plunger to inject all of the insulin. Wait about 5 seconds before pulling out the needle. Don't just put the used syringe in the trash. Instead, put it in a plastic or metal container with a tight lid. When the container is full, be sure the lid is closed and put it in the trash.

I just tried that for the first time tonight and it's not half bad. on a side note, my apfelwein has been in primary for 8 weeks now (it's still pretty cold here) and it's got a distinct sour note to it. It's probably still fermenting, albeit slowly, as the cider is still pretty bubbly. I'm sure that the sourness will age out. Can't wait to try it when it's done

Top ETF Stories of 2009: Leveraged Funds
Direxion's reverse split will reduce fees and refocus investors in the short term, but due to the nature of the funds, long-term problems will remain. The split will prop up the funds' price for now, but erosion could haunt investors once again. In the meantime, it is more important than ever for investors to focus on the true purpose of the funds: as an intraday hedge for sophisticated investors.
Regulatory Storm Brews for ETFs
Originally published 08/20/09 09:06 AM EDT
A regulatory storm is brewing on the horizon, and the first drops of doubt are beginning to fall on the ETF industry. Both brokers and issuers are running for cover before the skies open up. Lawsuits, like lightning, could strike at any time, singling out a firm from the herd and driving deep cracks into the industry floor.
Starting with a small firm called Edward Jones, brokers have bowed out of the leveraged ETF arena. Despite increasingly revealing warning labels, the wrong kinds of investors continue to get dragged into ultra-long or triple-down funds. Like many medications, leveraged ETFs were designed to treat specific conditions. Daily leveraged funds like Direxion's Daily Financial Bull (FAS) or ProShares UltraShort Financials (SKF) are designed to be used with existing portfolios to provide hedging capabilities. Long real estate? Hedge your portfolio over a single trading day with the purchase of ProShares UltraShort Real Estate ETF (SRS). These useful remedies, however, can sometimes fall into the wrong hands or be taken for the wrong reasons. The heady rush of being ultra-long or ultra-short has proven to be a temptation too great for some investors who rushed to their brokers to get their fix. Once difficult to access, these strategies have been made available by the structure of ETF products.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Collin County, Texas, a Dallas suburb, had the biggest over-the-year percentage increase in employment among the largest counties in the U.S in March 2006.
Employment rose by 7.8 percent in Collin County from March 2005 to March 2006. Lee, Florida, which includes Fort Myers, and Brazoria, Texas, which is near the Gulf Coast, had the next highest increases. The nation as a whole experienced a job growth rate of 2.2 percent.
The largest percentage decline in employment was in Orleans Parish, Louisiana, followed by Harrison, Mississippi, and Jefferson, Louisiana. These employment losses reflected the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina.
The BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages program produced these data, which are preliminary and subject to revision. Employment data presented here are for all workers covered by State and Federal unemployment insurance programs. The largest counties are those with employment levels of 75,000 or more—there are 325 such counties in the U.S..
