Like so much stuffing fills a turkey, Survivor rolls out the annual Thanksgiving recap episode full of "bonus" "unseen" clips to fill the hour until next week's actual new episode. Probst kicks the show off with one big previously segment showing the season so far, in which we see as many clips of Jimmy Johnson as possible as well as reminders that Holly and NaOnka are crazy. Then a bunch of old people and Shannon are voted out and Brenda and Sash are credited with being in total control of the game until Brenda is voted out. Probst says this episode will give us a "deeper look" at how the nine remaining contestants managed to stay in this game and they actually do include a shot of the other Kelly as one of those nine, even though the editors usually like to forget she even exists. I have a feeling this episode will be no different and we will not be treated to a deeper look at the other Kelly.
We begin at the beginning ... again. I mean, I thought we just did this in the previously on segment, but apparently we're going to do it again, except for much longer. Espada arrive at their camp and introduce themselves. Jane gives Marty a big hug, which is interesting to see in retrospect. Oh, good -- more from Jimmy Johnson, who reminds us that everyone in Espada is old. The menfolk set about bossing each other around about where and how to build the shelter. Marty interviews that the only person who probably knows how to actually build a shelter is "Joe Pesci over there," a.k.a. Dan. Ha! Joe Pesci. Brilliant. As it turns out, Joe Pesci's "construction" work is merely a mob front, as he knows nothing about building a shelter and interviews "who the hell ever built a shelter before? I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, think I ever built a shelter?" I love how the fact that Dan was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York is the reason why he doesn't know how to do anything. Milking cows? Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Riding a zipline? Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Building a shelter? Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Meanwhile, the women weave palm fronds peacefully and roll their eyes at the men's inability to get along or build anything. Jimmy T. stomps around barking out orders that he thinks are simply helpful suggestions while Tyrone interviews that he's just going to ignore Jimmy T. like the crying child he is. Jill interviews that Jimmy T. seems to be doing a lot of yelling and cursing but at least the women are making good progress on their palm fronds. She doesn't have much hope that they'll have the shelter built in time for nightfall.

with profits soaring we will soon take out $30 and climb back to our old highs
$30+Turns out to be an insightful call Jerri. Can't believe how strongly it has held above 30 once crossing it. Positive earnings on April 24 could prove your second prediction of returning to old highs right on as well. Way to go man!
Real problem is no one knows what to do. They are all acting like a bunch of immature babies while our Nation and stock market are at risk.
This week has certainly been your week, Jerri!BBT looks ready to push into the $32 range.
Why stop here. Lets push it into the $40's
Take off your rose-colored political glasses!The Democrats are NOT saving the country!The big banks have their fingers crossed that the truth about the crap on their books doesn't leak out before the consumer is back on his feet financially. However, unemployment is up and stalled around 10%; consumer income has taken a hit, increasing the default risk on consumer debt. Housing is still a mess, with the best case being only that things have generally stopped getting worse in recent months.Federal deficits are through the roof! Most states are in a financial bind, with several in serious trouble.At least Greece seems to be trying to get its financial house in order; the U.S. is not!The political hacks in Washington are busy trying to grab power, headlines and votes with "reforms" that are ill-conceived and totally unaffordable. The stimulus plans haven't stimulated much. The financial reformers haven't fixed anything. Our Leader hasn't delivered anything .... except for some teleprompter pep rally speeches.We are at that point in the story of the Titanic where the Captain has appealed for calm, the musicians are playing, and most passengers think the situation has stabilized.Is our story going to end differently? NOT at current course and speed!
If the Republicans were running the country, most of the population would be facing poverty. Thanks to the Democrats for stimulating the economy and saving the country from the Republicans that were destroying our economy and the reputation of the country.
Au contraire, mon ami!See my post of March 10, 4:41 pm.The number one problem facing this country is stimulating hiring and reviving the economy without bankrupting the country in the process.And IF we don't fix this fundamental problem soon, then this great country will suffer a horrible economic collapse ..... and the banks, including BBT, and the U.S. Dollar will be worthless!The Democrats don't have a CLUE how to fix it!!! We desperately NEED NEW LEGISLATORS that DO!
Way off topic to BBT stock, so only one short reply. You need to re-read my post. I am not pro democratic party and the healthcare debacle is beyond tragic. But there are plenty of examples on the "other side of the aisle" as well that we are living with today. But as long as we are focused only on shuffling the democrat/republican deck chairs on the Titanic, we will not see the larger issue. There is a third option, but most people think in binary, which is exactly what is going on when folks try to debate which part of the political spectrum is "at fault" for the economic mess.
The pattern continues, looks like a fool on his errands.
I don't think ANY stocks are going to be SOARING back to old highs this year!IF the economy is beginning to stabilize andIF unemployment begins to decline andIF the real estate markets (residential and commercial) begin to climb backTHEN the banks will be able to lower their additions to reserves and profits will bounce back.BBT is as well positioned as any bank to see profits bounce back nicely when the economy begins to recover.BUT there are a LOT of BUMPS in the road ahead! First and foremost, we have to get the Federal government's spending and deficits under tight control! And several large states need to find a way to fix their bloated government employees pension plans!There's SO MUCH to do .... and really not much time left in which to get it done!!!So meanwhile, I'd be very happy if BBT could establish a new basing point just over the $30 mark.
So much to do. Let us stop electing idiots and criminals to govern us.
Stil Spoor said that in 2008.....he ws wrong and so are you. Yes we will recover to the highs, but not this year my friend.
2014 for BBT at or above $45 per share.

So You Want To Get Rich At Neopets? Quests, Quests & More Quests!Sep 18, 2004 (Updated Apr 7, 2008)
Popular Products in Books
The Bottom Line Want to make some quick NP at Neopets? Quests are a great way to rake it in!
From $18
As part of my ongoing series of game guides for the Neopets site, I am going to go into a lot of detail about the various quests that you can do at the site. These can earn you quick NP [neopoints], add levels to your pet or even reward you with gourmet food. Some of them are easier to complete than others and there are a few that are just plain useless but thats just my opinion on the matter, you may feel completely different about them. Ill be covering all of the main quests including the random faerie ones that seem to truly be random usually I get them when I am bargain hunting or in the middle of something else and if you are busy refreshing the pages there is a good chance that you might miss the message. Dont worry as soon as you go to use The Shop Wizard youll be promptly told Thats cheating! You are on a Faerie Quest! 1. Faerieland Employment Agency 2. Faerie Quests 3. Kitchen Quests 4. Ednas Quests 5. The Brain Tree 6. Snow Quests 7. Jhudora's Cloud 8. Illusen's Glade Faerieland Employment Agency www.neopets.com/faerieland/employ/employment.phtml If you have never visited this section of the site it may seem a bit confusing at first. Every ten minutes the employment agency is stocked with jobs ranging from finding a few gift boxes for a few hundred NP to more elaborate jobs that involve finding things that have a much higher value. The jobs stock every ten minute example 5:00, 5:10, 5:20 etc. These times are synced with the Neopets site so ignore the clock on your computer or adjust it so that it is as close to the NST [Neopia Standard Time] as possible so you can get there when the jobs first hit the page. If you get there early you can refresh the page or hit the basic jobs link at the top of the page. Knowing the value of the items that are listed is key; but reading the listing is just as important. If the listing asks you to get three Deviled Delights and is offering you a reward of 3,500 NP then thats a good deal because most of the time the Deviled Delight sell for about a thousand NP or less. There is a time factor to consider as well; jobs come with a time limit some as little as a minute and some as much as forty minutes. Fail to complete a job in the allotted time frame and it shows up on your profile. This isnt a huge deal but if you are perfectionist, seeing ֿ Job Failed on your profile page is something that will really get on your nerves. If you have any regrets about accepting a job or cant find the items needed, you can back out f the job but you will have to pay a 200NP penalty however it wont show up on your profile page as a failed job. I strongly suggest starting out with the smaller jobs; these dont offer you much of a reward but you will get the hang of how the Agency works, how to find your footing around the listings and work out your own game plan to make some Neopoints! You can accept up to five jobs per day and you will be told that youve taken enough jobs however you can still access the area to see what is being requested as well as the time allotments and rewards that are offered. From what I can tell the reward amounts do fluctuate with the going prices of items on the Shop Wizard and yes, in deed, when glitches hit other areas of the site they do sometimes ripple over to the Employment Agency. One of the biggest ones had to do with the pay out amount; larger ticket items were being listed with rewards of a few hundred NP. I can only imagine the number of newbies that accepted jobs only to find out that they were getting the short end of the stick. Employment Agency II The Faerieland Employment Agency is a great place to explore; with both basic and super jobs available it is also a great place to make some quick NP! Basic jobs are listed every ten minutes so get there promptly for the best opportunities and the best jobs. The faeries will require you to fetch things for them and the faster you get them, the bigger the bonus. As I said, jobs are listed every ten minutes 5:10, 5:20, 5:30 etc. There are time limits to jobs as well so if the site is running slow or is giving the maintenance message every few minutes you may want to skip accepting a job regardless of what the reward amount is. Its better to skip on a job than risk having the site go down for a few hours and missing the window of opportunity to complete the job. So far Ive completed over 500 jobs with only two failed ones one because the site when down and the other because I didnt pay attention to the allotment of time that was given to complete it. Scouting the agency and getting familiar with some of the more common items that are requested will help you to have these item on hand to complete the job as quickly as possible to get the big bonus. Some common items include gift boxes, pocket calendar, red scarf, chocolate chip cookie, learn to paint set, vitamin c and reject techo plushies. These are some of the common items that are listed but they have a low pay out. Higher paying ones include various TCG cards, Bottle of Love, scarab cookies and assorted books. Again, this is where knowing the purchase and selling price of items comes into play. If a book can be purchased for 600 NP and is currently selling for 1,500 NP then doing a job that requires you to get three of them but is only paying 3,500 NP isnt in your best interest even when you factor in the bonus. I usually have the best luck getting good jobs by skipping the first few pages, this is where everyone seems to concentrate when they refresh the pages and try to get a job. Jobs are listed ten to a page but the higher paying ones are usually snapped up quickly! Make sure that the clock on your computer or which ever one you are using to get the agency is synched with the one at Neopets this will allow you to get there a few seconds early is you want, then all you have to do is refresh the page a few times until the listings start to show up. If you really want to get the big bonus have some of the common items in your inventory. Ive only had this happen a few times and to be honest, I didnt even know I completed the job until I went back to the Basic Job listing page and saw the banner messaging saying my pet completed it. This happened after I purchased about ten scarab cookies from the Food Tent then noticed the time and went to the Agency. I spotted a job for scarab cookies and snapped it up; the cookies were taken right out of my inventory and the job was immediately completed and a huge bonus was issued. Its almost impossible to know which items are going to be listed each time the section refreshes but if you hang around that area long enough youll spot the frequent items and be able to get a good jump on them. The super jobs are ones that require Job Coupons, these can be obtained by purchasing the older ones from people off of the Trading Post or you can try spinning the Wheel of Knowledge in Brightvale. There are color codes that designate the level of the job coupon and if you get one of the gold ones [or a pink one if you are buying an older one] it can be used over and over, each time it is used it goes down a level until it depletes itself and vanishes from your inventory. The benefit to this is that you can scout the Super Job section to find the one with the biggest pay off for your specific color coupon. Then it is all a matter of getting the items and having them in your inventory before you click on the job. Buying a job coupon might not pay off for you since most of them are between 50,000 and 250,000 NP so do the math before you make a hasty purchase. One of the things that I really like about the Faerieland Agency is that you can check your statistics right in the section. Just click on the status link at the top of the page and you will be able to see the number of jobs your pet has completed, the number of failed jobs, if you are currently doing a job and a list of completed jobs that show the date, time, item requested and pay off. Ive yet to delve into the area of super jobs because I havent been lucky enough to get a coupon from the Wheel of Knowledge but rest assured that when I do, Ill try to make the most of it and look for the biggest pay off. Keeping track of the number of jobs you do per day will save you time too; there is a limit of five per day and sometimes you can complete all five without realizing it. If that happens you will get a message saying that you have already taken too many jobs and to come back tomorrow. This message however doesnt show up until after you select a job so you could sit there wasting time trying to pick one out. The five per day rule is per account not per pet so if you have four pets you cant do five jobs for each of them. Faerie Quests www.neopets.com/quests.phtml Faerie Quests are a great and usually inexpensive way to increase various attributes of your pets welfare. These happen at random and at times it seems like you can go a week without getting one and then all of a sudden you get several in one day. These are different from Jhudora and Illusens Quests since you have no idea when they will happen and you do have the option to pass on them. If you decide to skip a quest then you will be given a message that you wont be asked to do any quests for a certain period of time. If I decide to skip one of these quests I usually go back to the Faerie Quest area to make sure that the message is different and that the faerie posted there gives me a different message. Queen Faerie: She can reward you with a number of things however when I did her quest all I got was a piece of food and my level raised. Some people have said that she will allow you to paint your pet at the Rainbow Pool however Ive never been that lucky. Fire Faerie: This faerie usually asks for some type of clothing and in return she will increase your pets strength. If you get one of these quests it is usually one of the cheapest ways to increase your pets strength since most clothing items are inexpensive. Air Faerie: She requests that you fetch her beauty related items such as a brush or mirror and she will increase your pets speed and swiftness. To me this is a real waste unless the item is under 200 NP but thats just my opinion. Dark Faerie: If your pet is ailing then a quest from the Dark Faerie might make it feel a little better; she usually asks for a toy or some item that a pet can play with. Again, this could be beneficial to your pet if the item is inexpensive. Earth Faerie: This is one quest that I almost always pass on because the Earth Faerie asks for random things some of which can be expensive. She will feed your pet in return for doing her quest but if your pet is already full it will leave him or her bloated. Light Faerie: I wish I could get more quests from the Light Faerie because it is one of the cheapest ways to raise your pets level. Even of the trading card she asks for is a couple thousand NP, it is still cheaper and less time consuming than taking your pet to The Academy or Training School. Water Faerie: The Water Faerie will ask for books in exchange for elevating your pets strength level. This is a cheap way to get your pet ready to battle however if you dont plan on taking him or her to The Battledome, this may be a quest you will want to skip. One thing to keep in mind about Faerie Quests is this once you are asked to obtain an item you wont be able to use The Shop Wizard even for items that you are not on a quest for so you could find yourself between a rock and a hard place if you are in the middle of doing an Employment Agency job and you get one of these random events. There is a special section on the NeoBoard just for quest help, there are usually tons of people there looking to help but this is also a place where scammers hang out to pimp out their other accounts. They will stock their other shops [against the rules of the site] with common quest items only they will price them a lot higher than normal then when someone asks for help they will list their other shop and the new members will buy something thats extremely overpriced. I fell for this once and only once when I needed to get a trading card and ended up paying 3,000 NP for a card that normally sells for 400 NP. Kitchen Quests www.neopets.com/island/kitchen.phtml I have only tried a few of these however I do have to say that these are usually expensive in return for what you get. On the same token, if you are looking to raise any of your pets levels this is another cheap route to take. Its all in how you look at it you can pay to obtain the items for the Kitchen Quest with the chance that you will be greatly rewarded or take the safe route and take your pet to The Training Academy or Training Here is an example of a quest that you might be asked to fulfill: Runny Avocado and Scallion Meatballs Items Needed: Chocolate Honey [9,000- 14,000] Iced Eyrie Cupcake [9,000- 11,000] Blackberry Sorbet [5,000 6,000] Reward: Increased pet level. When you look at what I spent you may or may not think its a good value. For me, spending 25,000 odd points to raise my pets level is a waste it would have been cheaper to use some dubloons or codestones at one of the schools and have them get some training for the Battledome at the same time. Still there are some people that have great luck doing these types of quests; its all the luck of the draw so dont believe people that sit there and say that you have to donate things or do a certain series of actions before doing one of these quests. Ednas Quests www.neopets.com/halloween/witchtower.phtml Located inside the Haunted Woods, Ednas Tower is another quest that you can embark on to obtain spooky foods. The only real reason to do these quests is to get the secret avatar that happens as a random event. This quest is a real hard one to peg; you can either get something thats is really easy and inexpensive or something that is really outrageous with a pay off of a few hundred NP and a cheap piece of spooky food. I got hooked on this quest after I was asked to find a few cheap items and was rewarded with a Candy Corn Classic. After that I was hooked and started doing them over and over then I realized that I was wasting so much money trying to get the high priced items and gave up. Now I will do one every so often but if I dont have the item in my SDB or it is more than a few hundred NP I pass on it. Sure she gets a little mad but hey, she gets over it and gives you another quest. Bubbling Spell of Jetsam Transforming Items Needed: Skeith T-shirt [150 - 200] Milk Chocolate Kiko [300 - 400] Reward: 183 NP and a Slime Sundae Like I said, I do these from time to time and after doing about 40 of them I still dont have the avatar so I will keep plugging away at it looking for the cheap jobs to come up. The Brain Tree www.neopets.com/halloween/braintree.phtml Also located inside The Haunted Woods is a spooky looking pulsating tree called The Brain Tree. It will ask you to go and find information so that it can compile accurate records of Neopians that have passed on. Unless you have an extensive list of other peoples answers completing this will be an expensive venture. When I accept this quest I started to look for the answers and any that I found had the birth date not the death date. Your only real choice is to go to The Esophagor and fed him. You will need to feed him twice to get the answer when I went to him he asked me to get him the following items: Candy Skull [95,000 or more], Slime Sundae [under 100], Eliv Thade Chips [unbuyable / over 100,000 NP] with a little over two hours to find the items. The question that I was asked by The Brain Tree was: Michael de Kiko died a long time ago, and I need to know where, and when, for my records. You must go and find this information out. Return to me within 0 hours and 54 mins, and I shall give you a prize. I never bothered to purchase the items that The Esophagor wanted since one of them was listed as an unbuyable and the other, the candy skull, was close to 100,000 a lot more than I wanted to spend on the off chance that the Brain Tree would reward me with something worth the effort and NP. Snow Quests www.neopets.com/winter/snowfaerie.phtml High atop Terror Mountain theres a lonely little faerie named Taelia and she needs your help to complete a few experiments. She doesnt tell you the name of the experiment that she is working on so you are working blind when you accept one of her challenges and for the most part, they are on the expensive side. Her quests are usually in the 20,000 ballpark but that is just a rough figure, some cost more than that to complete. The rewards are either really good or really bad and get a few bad ones in a row and youll really think twice about doing them even if you have the stuff in your SDB it feels like you are throwing them away. Ive never gotten a pet level increase from her but have been given NP and various food items. Time limit: 1 hour, 23 minutes Pressurised Water [1,500 2,000] Dark Chocolate Elephante [8,000 9,000] Lime Swirly Negg [8,000] Reward: 1,203 NP, frozen corn dog, magical snowball. Jhudora & Illusen The last two faerie quests are ones that are completely elective however you can only do one of these a day so if you go to see Illusen and you have already done one of Jhudoras, expect a little attitude from her about it. Both of these quests get expensive after the first fifteen but there are some times when they throw you a curve ball and after asking you for 20K items they ask you for a ball of yarn or a hair brush. The main reason I did both of these, at least to level 20 of both, is to get the secret avatar. I figure I spent about 50,000 to get Illusen and about 60,000 to get Jhudora that might sound like a lot but I also dropped 2,000,000 to buy the Faerie Queen Doll in the Hidden Tower. Yes, I do need my head examined. Each of these faeries will ask you to do quests for them and it is pretty important that you have the time to complete them once you accept one. If you fail your quest even if you are at the last one you will have to start all over again. I stopped both of them at level twenty because I was too paranoid about not being able to find an item that I needed if it came up as an unbuyable on The Shop Wizard. When this happens the best thing to do is to turn to the Trading Post but even then, you have no idea when people are going to be online to accept or reject an offer. The rewards vary but some of them are pretty nice the Honey Potion is something that can easily make up for all the NP that you spend on the quests but keep in mind - if you dont complete a quest in time you will have to start all over at the first quest. Jhudora's Cloud www.neopets.com/faerieland/darkfaerie.phtml If you are wondering what you get in return for completing her quests, here is the list but remember these items can be changed at any time. I have only reached level twenty so I can only vouch for those items, the rest have come from the Neopets site as well as my oldest son who completed both Jhudora and Illusens quests. If I were to complete one of these two Id have to go with this one since you do items that are worth a high value and are easy to sell. 1: Poisonous Lollipop 3: Noxious Nectar 5: Jhudoras Brush 8: Purple Blob Potion 11: Jhudoras T-Shirt 14: Gnome Shroom 17: Caustic Potion 20: Dark Faerie Magic 23: Malice Potion 26: Purple Spotted Shroom 29: Clockwork rat 32: Toxic Shroom [unbuyable] 35: Dark Shroom [unbuyable] 38: Jhudoras Potion [unbuyable] 41 Bartamus [unbuyable] 44: Dark Faerie Collar [unbuyable] 47: Wand of the Dark Faerie [unbuyable] 50: Portal Cloud [unbuyable] Illusen's Glade www.neopets.com/medieval/earthfaerie.phtml Most of the items that you get from the early quests are common items at the site that sell for a very low NP amount in fact until you get to level 35 you dont really get anything good. For me this really puts people off of doing this quest and some of the items you have to get like a Babaa [20,000 plus] are outrageous when you look at what you get in return. 1: Illusens Cream Cookie 3: Illusens Potion 5: Illusens Comb 8: Cucumber Eye Cream 11: Illusens Novel 14: Mud Mixture 17: Flower Cake 20: Rainwater Shampoo 23: Rose Shake 26: Earth Spell Book [2,000] 32: Illusens Earth Potion [1,800 2,000] 35: Honey Potion [unbuyable] 38: Illusens Scroll [unbuyable] 41: Illusens Blade [unbuyable] 44: Leaf Taco [unbuyable] 47: Illusens Orb Potion [unbuyable] 50: Illusens Staff [unbuyable] So there you have it, some of the coolest and most useless quests at the Neopets site! There are a lot of game guides out there that will give you the basics but they never really go into detail about how to complete them or how to get the most NP from them. When I started the site I was clueless, my brood did a good job at giving me the ten cent tour but I hard to learn the ropes on my own and most of the time at a great expense. I will update this when the need arises or when new features are added to the site if you have any comments or suggestions, feel free to leave them in the comment section!

Whatever the definition of affordable housing, no one disputes that there is a huge shortage in this segment. A report by global property management firm Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) points out that according to MHUPA, the shortage of urban housing in India at the end of the 10th Five-Year Plan (2002-2007) was around 27.1 million dwellings to serve 66.3 million households.
"Indians are a lazy bunch," laughs Goyal. "So we wanted to create something very close to their physical world. While menupages.com has menus in [a] standardized format, we scanned the actual menu cards and then put them up."
India's base of unique Internet users has grown rapidly, reaching 120 million and expected to expand to more than 350 million by 2015. India's unique mobile subscriber base is 600 million.
"When we launched Smartclass in 2004 as the first-ever digital classroom program, it was an uphill task convincing schools to adopt it. These schools had not witnessed any change in a century.... It is a completely different scenario now. Private schools across India today see (technology) as an imperative. A digital classroom is set to become the bare-minimum teaching accessory in schools, just like a blackboard is today."
Global Yogurt Franchises Attempt to Brand a Homemade Indian Staple
The women who have been educated at MDBS have little in common with the well-heeled students in MBA programs around the world. They are an eclectic mix of ages ranging from 19 to 50. They include a potter, a spice and noodle maker, a seamstress, a goat and sheep herder, a farmer, a homemaker and a bangle vendor.
So far, Indian firms have been below the radar. But now that they are bigger, and also visible thanks to the politicians going after them, the lawyers are moving in.

Everyone here is visiting the forums at least 10 times a day along with tsn and any sprts news website waiting for PC to make a deal. ( I AM )LOL of all the rhe speculation posted here, the only one that I see will happen is ( and yes theres talking going on) Is Dustin Brown coming to Boston. A perfect peice and fit financially sound player that is needed. As far as the D goes, like him or not, the other is souray. He was a nothing 2 years ago, edmonton couldnt give him away and dallas took a crak at him, just for one minute, imagine his style of play like Boychuk but with alot more expereince what will do for this team. Both of these are well worth going after because despite the fact we all want a Nash on this team isnt gonna happen. The one thing thats keeping PC from making a deal is, the fact that hes waiting to see who gets nash, and most notebly wanting to keep him out of NY so saying that, theres a possiblity that he will make a pursuit of nash also, he already knows what columbus wants from the Bs. If NY gets him now, thats a problem for the east (particulary the Bs ) not just now but a long time to come. So lets keep checking in on all the sports news.

Nelsen hints at A-League swansong
lackburn captain Ryan Nelsen has hinted he may finish his career in the Australian A-League once his contract at Rovers expires in two years. Nelsen is a key player for Sam Allardyce's side but, at 32, he accepts his current deal is likely to be his last at Ewood Park. He wants to carry on playing for as long as possible, though, and has been closely monitoring the progress of the A-League, which did not exist when he began his career in the US with DC United. And the New Zealand skipper has refused to rule out a future move to Wellington Pheonix to play under All Whites coach Ricki Herbert. "I've still got two years left at Blackburn but after that, maybe," Nelsen told ESPN Soccernet. "I'm not sure how much more will be left in the legs after that. A lot of Australian players have gone back and done really well." As the A-League continues to improve, Nelsen reckons a number of Australia's best players - and New Zealand's - could opt to finish their careers there. "It's great for both countries," Nelsen added. "It's exciting for the A-League (if players return home). Hopefully some of our players come back as well and this league will improve."

After discovering this site I have become more aware of my need to be prepared. I even went out and bought a HD shotty.
My set up:
No kids or anything to worry about so I have my Sig P220ST loaded and ready with an extra mag on my nightstand. A Mossberg 500 between the bed and nightstand loaded with 00 buckshot, slug, mag 00 buckshot, mag 00 buckshot, slug. My AR15 is behind the door (the door is right beside me) with a loaded 20 rd mag and my flashlight and cell are within reach. I have a pitbull and lab in the room as well and the pit is protective and barks at the slightest noise so I don't think anyone is going to be sneaking in. I guess its worth a little lost sleep for him to keep me more aware. Hopefully I have everything covered.
Good set-up and welcome to the forum metalman!
Hope you continue to hang out here and become an active member!

The idea of a "goodie bag" is great. I am going to put together one of my own.
Great thread
good thread.
my heat is w/i arms reach of me in bed. the good thing about my house (which is brand new) is that the chandelier in my hallways area lights up the living/kitchen area great and its w/i 2 feet of my bedroom door. If i am not asleep, my heat is either on me of w/i a few feet of me.
i didn't think of keeping my car keys close by...i will now. my cell and wallet are also next to my heat at night.
i sleep in boxers, but i may not put on clothes because the site of a big, chubby guy with a gun may cause heart failure in the perp before i have a chance to pop him.
Let's Roll - Todd Beamer
In bed and something goes bump in the night: First my glasses are on my nightstand right in front of the alarm clock so they are iluminated and easy to find. Then I grab my gun and mags that go in my cargo shorts' pocket and... a fan remote control plus a surefire. On the other side of the bed Mrs Miggy has her own gun and surefire. We have our regular phone plus our 2 cell phones.
This is a very simple floor plan of my house. The blue lines represent doors to the outside and the easiest way to break into the house. The orange lines are bedroom doors. If I hear something going bump, I plan to stay in my bedroom. In order to get in the bedroom area, the BG has to go into a narrow hallway and here comes the remote. In the living room I have a nice 52" blade ceiling fan with 4 light bulbs that give a nice light and all controlled via handheld remote. If I hear the BG coming towards the bedroom, I'll click the remote and I will have a nice silhouetted BG against white walls. At least that is the plan. I am NOT going searching for an BG into the night, lights or no lights.
Now, If I am awake, there is always a firearm either with me or about 3 or 4 steps from me. Those guns not on me are located in hidden but easy to access locations.
You have to make the shot when fire is smoking, people are screaming, dogs are barking, kids are crying and sirens are coming.

Ego will kill you. Leave it at home.
Signed: Me!
I have a revolver and pistol by the side of the bed. One for me and one for my wife. I also have a flashlight right next to them. My long gun safe can be opened quickly if needed. In it I have a shotgun that just needs to be pumped and two rifles that just need the bolt to be closed.
While awake at home I generally carry in my pocket or at least have the pistol safe unlocked for quick access.
I have on at least two occasions been awakened at night by strange sounds in the house. Grabbed gun and light each time and investigated. Strange thing is, I didn't feel my heart pumping fast or a rush of adrenalin. It's possible that the sound didn't really fit that of an intruder and my mind had already decided that it wasn't a big deal.

My duty weapon(G21) goes into a Serpa holster on my headboard. Got a Surefire G2 on nightstand in addition to a spare mag and pair of cuffs and my badge on a neck chain. My habit might change when I get other weapons but it will probably be pretty similar. Only change might be a G30 instead of G21, or both might be around headboard/nightstand. Might get a BOB,probably a maxpedition.
You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." . . . You must do the thing you think you cannot do. Eleanor Roosevelt
I keep my Sig Sauer P226R "Blackwater" edition with an attached Streamlight TLR2 either under my pillow or in the bedside table, along with my fully charged cell phone. --
So the Sig P226/light + another Surefire 9P light and my trip BUG-OUT bag that has all the best parts of a medical trauma kit along with bare minimum survival gear and more 9mm ammo (Corbon +P+) I sleep in boxers and a t-shirt and keep my loafers next to the bed. I can move into combat mode inside of three seconds from coming to full alert. 2 Newfoundland dogs (100+ pounds each) are the early warning system.
They may have frightened off an intruder just last week. Nothing concrete on that except the frenzied barking that was on the level of: "THERE IS EVIL THREATENING THIS FAMILY AND WE WILL DESTROY THAT" is the only way to describe that bark. It was to the extent that my neighbor also came into his back yard with a flashlight and a 45. He'd never heard my "girls" act like that either. He's a former army captain (aviator) who also flies one of the county air rescue chopper these days.
In 1996, I actually fought off an intruder who tried to enter my home. But that was before these two Newfies. I won, he fled. Never caught. But he paid: Ran into a neighbors hedge of Bougainvillea which is a very pretty and thick vine that can weave an impenetrable hedge and features two inch long razor tipped thorns that are thick at the bottom and don't easily break. The little perp hit that eight foot thick hedge and pushed his way thru on the run. The cops found huge blood pools and a blood trail they lost at a nearby street. I got some justice that night! All in all, I'm ready. The word: WAR is really just an acronym:
Former Army Infantry Captain; 25 yrs as an NRA Certified Instructor; Avid practitioner of the martial art: KLIK-PAO.
good thing for everyone to address, really take a look at your preparation
as for me....G21 with streamlight sits in the pistol safe on floor by the bed, G30 (which I carry in paddle holster around the house) sits on the nightstand with my surefire G2 and a dual mag clip-on pouch (2-13round), the wife has her G26 at the ready, both of our cell phones get charged up in the bedroom at night so they are at hand just in case, the Mossberg 500 is on the rack in the closet ready to rock, tac vest with spare Glock 21 and AK mags is ready as well with the AK if needed
as for the scenario.....if someone comes knocking at my back door in the middle of the night, its not family or friends coming for tea (closest family is 300 miles away and my friends know better than to come to my house like that); so either front door or back door, window breaking, etc., I'm ready to go, have a pair of shorts by the bed to slip on if needed

Elegant and fun
Twinkling Hearts Rectangle Invitations This invitation caught our eye because we'll have strings of lights just like those pictured as decorations at our venue. The invitation fits us perfectly - we wanted something that was both elegant and fun, and this card is definitely both! Our main wedding colors were not available but we chose the green option, which I think complements our wedding colors well. It's also a great deal - we wanted nice invitations but also did not want to bust the budget on invites. We took advantage of a Valentine's Day special and the total price was really reasonable. In fact, with the money we saved on invites, we can afford to come back and order our programs from this site. Originally we were thinking we'd have to make programs ourselves, but it's so nice to have one less thing on the to-do list! So thank you Magnet Street!
Effortless Emblem Rectangle Invitations I am so pleased with my invitations. Exactly what I wanted and more!!
Perfect Invitations
A Modern Monogram Rectangle Invitations This design was exactly what we were looking for! We played around a lot with the colors and the font, and ended up with the perfect design. The sample that we ordered was very true to what we designed online, but I am still very glad we were able to see it in person before making the final decision. We even did a design request, and the turn around with proofs was very quick. Definitely recommend these, can't wait to send them out!!
Great Quality
A Modern Monogram Rectangle Invitations I ordered my daughters save the date magnets as well as her wedding invitations. I was amazed at how easily everything could be personalized to get the exact look I was going for. I would recommend these to anyone!! The paper quality was wonderful, the envelopes were a little thin but the overall quality was wonderful. Color and personalization was perfect. Very Happy with my product!!
Great invations and rsvp's
Twinkling Hearts Rectangle Invitations I am so thrilled with our invites, we actually had another design on another website all picked out and we wanted to just double check this site and it was so much easier to design and get the way we wanted it, so we just kept going and are so happy with our decision!

Rating the NFL's top QB traits
Who has the best arm strength, mobility, pocket poise and leadership skills?
What does a great quarterback look like?
When I'm constructing my Quarterback Big Board, I consider both past and current performance, but in doing so I'm really looking through a kind of QB prism. There are lots of aspects to a quarterback's game, must-have traits that I find to be a requirement to succeed in the NFL. Add them all up and you start to get a picture of what the perfect quarterback would look like.
On the wall of my office is a list of 10 characteristics that I believe make a successful QB: leadership, arm strength, accuracy, toughness, touch, mechanics, pocket awareness, size, mobility and character.
Now, in how many of those categories do you need to be above average to be truly great? With a small caveat for size, the answer is all of them.
These traits are all critical to my definition of NFL success. Over the years I've spoken to a number of GMs, coaches and personnel guys in the league, and sometimes they'll tell me that I'm a little tough on guys with my evaluations. That may be true, but I'm honest. When I look at a QB, I don't want to be able to say, "Yeah, we can go 8-8 with him." I want to see a QB who has what it takes to be a championship quarterback. That's why we all play this game. I want to see a quarterback who aspires to be the best in the league, and it's on that basis that I evaluate them.
While you need to be above average in these 10 characteristics, there are varying degrees of talent within each of them. And there's a sliding scale of importance that teams and front offices attach to each one. For instance, a characteristic like arm strength may depend on a team's offensive scheme. A trait like character might be more accentuated in some franchises than others.
As I get ready to make the latest changes to my Quarterback Big Board next week, let's examine the traits that make these quarterbacks so great. What follows are what I call my Attribute Rankings. We'll go inside six of the 10 traits -- leadership, arm strength, accuracy, toughness, pocket awareness and mobility -- to see which three quarterbacks lead their peers in those categories.

So just casting me as some hater who enjoys bashing the film at every opportunity is a quick way of straw manning one side without paying attention to any nuances in the discussion.
3. Showtime's most recent comment doesn't really reflect the course of the conversation at all. We weren't comparing MOS as a whole with SR as a whole. That's an over simplification of the comparison that was made.
Sorry man, I'm not gonna pull out a magnifying glass to inspect the minutia of the 7 billionth time you guys have decided to bring up Superman Returns. Honestly, there may be some merit to what you're saying, but bringing up SR once again is just the continuation of what I feel is beating a dead horse.
I was here during the BB days, and I'm pretty sure we Batfans didnt constantly bring up B & R the way people bring up SR. I came here hoping for something new or at least an interesting convo, and there goes SR being brought up...again.

Siam Square and surrounds
Travel Guide
At the heart of Bangkok's Pathumwan district sits Siam Square, an entertainment, shopping and educational area packed with restaurants, cinemas, and hundreds of boutiques. While best known for its shopping, through the first half of 2010 this area was the heart of the Red Shirt protests that exploded into violence in May of that year. In the aftermath, the massive Central World shopping mall was gutted by fire and a number of other outlets were badly damaged. Siam has since rebuilt, though early 2014 saw a new wave of demonstrations in the area, this time from the Yellow Shirt side.
Siam Square itself overflows with retail outlets where designer boutiques jostle with knock-off shops and fancy restaurants abut streetside eateries. The area is popular with students, as the prestigious Chulalongkorn University makes up the southern border of the neighbourhood, and this is reflected in many of the student-orientated stores. If you're after a trendy and modern area that can feel like parts of Tokyo on a hot day, look no further.
The area is also home to a number of Bangkok's top shopping malls, from the more low-brow MBK Centre, where cell phones, clothes, and furniture are the primary offerings, to the more upscale Siam Paragon, where Lamborghini and Ferrari dealerships sit beside Prada and La Perla boutiques. An above-ground walkway beginning at Siam BTS station and connecting to Chit Lom BTS station allows you to stroll past a number of shopping and hotel complexes. Taken as a whole, the Siam Square area is the centre of Thailand's shopping universe.
Siam Square plays host to the greatest concentration of Bangkok's cinemas, including the vintage Scala and Lido, and the futuristic Paragon IMAX. Movies are much cheaper in Thailand than in the West, but remember to bring a sweater as they tend to be air-conditioned close to freezing point, and to stand when they play the anthem for the King.
Heading east, the main thoroughfare of Rama I becomes Phloenchit Road, off which Sois Ruam Rudee and Lang Suan run. These are famous for their food and entertainment spots, although some are in danger of being replaced by condos. This area is also where you'll find Wat Pathum Wanaram, a royal-grade temple that starkly contrasts the surrounding malls. Further south lies Lumpini Park, central Bangkok's largest expanse of greenery and a leafy, somewhat depressing reminder of what Bangkok could have been.
North of Siam Square is Pratunam, another of Bangkok's major shopping areas, with a bustling wholesale clothing market in the shadow of Bangkok's tallest building, Baiyoke Tower. Traditionally a cloth and fabrics warehousing and trading area, Pratunam's offerings have expanded considerably over the years and today, thanks to the likes of Platinum Mall and nearby electronics heaven Pantip Plaza, you can get everything from pirated software to a new laptop and fake Gucci handbags to $5,000 suits.
Characterised by heavy traffic, state-of-the-art advertising screens, stylish twenty-somethings and sleek hotels, all of these areas are permanently teeming with people. Siam BTS station links the city's two skytrain lines, while the area can also be reached by San Saeb canal ferry. Real estate around here is among the priciest in Thailand.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — An energy transportation company can't reopen a pipeline that spilled tens of thousands of gallons of crude oil in Wisconsin last week until it hands federal officials a re-start plan.
The U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration announced Tuesday it has blocked Houston-based Enbridge Energy Partners from reopening the 427-mile line. Administration officials must approve a re-start plan that establishes leak patrols and details coordination with local emergency workers before the company can resume operations.
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said in a statement that he plans to meet with company officials soon. They'll have to convince him why the pipeline should continue to operate without an overhaul or complete replacement, he said.
"Pipelines operate safely across the country every single day," LaHood said. "That's why accidents, like the one in Wisconsin, are absolutely unacceptable."
Enbridge spokeswoman Lorraine Little said in an email repairs to the pipeline should be done by Thursday and the company is preparing a re-start plan.
"The safety of people who live and work near our pipelines and the environment is Enbridge's top priority," she said.
Enbridge officials didn't immediately respond to telephone and email messages Tuesday.
The pipeline carries crude oil from Superior to Chicago-area refineries. It ruptured Friday, spraying about 1,200 barrels, or about 50,400 gallons, of crude into a pasture just east of Grand Marsh in Adams County. The cause of the spill is still unknown.
Enbridge officials said the spill was quickly contained and no one was hurt.
State Department of Natural Resources spokesman Ed Culhane said the pasture's owner and his wife, as well as a woman, her daughter and her mother were evacuated from two homes near the rupture because the air was full of benzene, a chemical that can cause cancer. Some cattle and horses also had to be rinsed off, he said.
The company managed to vacuum up between 12,600 and 21,000 gallons, Culhane said. The pasture doesn't have any surface water, he said, and no wildlife was affected. The company is currently working to skim off the contaminated soil and dispose of it and the company's contractors are beginning to test ground water for contamination, he said.
The pipeline safety administration issued a nine-page order requiring Enbridge to submit the re-start plan. The order also calls for additional corrective measures, saying the line crosses multiple rivers, highways and population centers.
The requirements include completing an analysis of the failed pipe; contracting with an independent operator to evaluate the company's procedures, maintenance history and repair decisions; submitting a plan for long-term testing on the line; and submitting monthly reports on testing and repairs.
The order also questioned the company's pipeline integrity program, noting tests performed during the pipeline's construction in 1998 revealed defects in seams in multiple locations and that the pipeline ruptured in January 2007, spilling 63,000 gallons of crude in Clark County.
Little, the company's spokeswoman, said it's not unusual for the administration to issue such an order and the company is already working on complying.
Another Enbridge pipeline ruptured in July 2010, spilling more than 840,000 gallons of crude near Marshall, Mich.

-multiple homepages
-scrollwheel/middle-click to open new tab while keeping focus on current tab
-standards compliance
-security features (yellow address bar to signify secure connection, automatic & configurable popup blocking etc.)
-awesome search features and search integration ("slash" search, highlight and right-click to do google search etc.)

No Cons!
Mozilla seems to release updates regularly, which you should look for since popup advertisers are constantly looking for new ways to target you with unwanted popups, and the regular security updates should help foil this. Its great to have a browser that is secure in itself rather than requiring a seperate popup blocker, adware scanner etc. to stay secure.

Carrie Mair, Master of Arts in Science Education
WGU has provided me with a lot of amazing career opportunities. People are aware that a high-quality student comes out of WGU. They are very motivated, hard-working, and driven individuals. I have had at least six job offers at local schools to come and work for them, just because of WGU.
My favorite part of WGU is that they have a mentoring system where you are actually assigned a personal mentor throughout your entire online degree program. I was fortunate enough to get a mentor who learned about me inside and out.
I am very proud of the school that I go to and I know that it's not for all, for all people. I found that Western Governors is good for people who have a plethora of questions and they want to find those answers by themselves. They don't want to sit and wait for somebody else give it to them.
WGU from a student's perspective is different because they are a nonprofit online university. It's not about administration, it's not about someone's paycheck, and it's not about padding someone's wallet. You are there for what it costs you to be there and not a cent more. And if you can get done more in the time that you have been given, you are more than welcome to do that. I think that is an amazing thing in a society that's built on money.
