Kelly was a young and popular girl who attened Riverview High. Everyone loved her, but with love comes hate. She was head of the cheer team, had the quaterback of the football team for a boyfriend, and most impotantly wanted to stay in shape. Weighing only 110, she was easily the skinniest and hottest girl in school, and made fun of anyone who wasn't "skinny". She would soon find out that this would come to haunt her.
Kelly was a Senior, and heading to college. She need some more credits for her application to be looked at, and the only summer job available was one at a fat camp. Kelly became a superviser for a cabin. It just so happened that it was the fatties from her school. These girls knew that she was a bitch, and had a revenge plot. Of course being fit herself she took all of the girls secret stashes of fatty foods. This ticked the girl off even more. All she had them do was eat salad and exercise, but it was working.
The fatties decided that it was time for revenge, so they started slipping weight gain pills into Kelly's meals. Within two weeks the effects started to show. Kelly's thighs now touched when she walked, her arms jiggled, her boobs were bigger, she had a double chin, and her abs had disappeared into flab. Kelly now weighed 180, more than some of the fatties she was watching! She now had a harder time walking, and her sweats were losing there stretch. The fatties decided it was time for the real revenge.
One night while Kelly was sleeping, the fatties tied her up to a chair. Their plan was not to release her until she broke the chair. They started off by feeding Kelly all of the fatty foods that she stole from them. When this food was all gone, they started stuffing her with weight gain pills. Three hours after they started the chair was in pieces on the floor, along with the new fatty. Kelly now weighted 350 pounds and jiggle everywhere. Her face had definatly filled out, her double chin had a chin, her thighs were as big as her former waist, touching when she walked, her arms were all soft and jiggly, and her stomach and back had fat rolls. The fatties told her this is what she deserved, but the worst part for Kelly was that everyone was mistaking her for a camper, asking her how much weight she had lost. Instead she said how much she gained, but didn't tell anyone about what happened or else she would just keep getting fatter the fatties.(Now the skinnies.)
It was time ot go back to school, her mom had warned her about this, gaining weight. Her boyfriend dumped her, she was kicked off the cheer team, and the former fatties now made fun of her, and were on the cheer team. The worst part about being fat, she couldn't lose the weight because of what the weight gain pills had done to her.

We cannot leave it as is," Hosaka told reporters.But the tsunami-struck Fukushima plant may not be the source of the radiation, Hosaka said later on state television.Officials searching for the cause found "glass bottles in a cardboard box" in the basement of a house in the neighborhood which sent radiation detectors off the charts, he said on NHK."We suspect these bottles in basement could be the cause of the high radiation reading and we are hastily working to confirm it," he said.Radiation experts are now checking what contaminated the bottles, a Setagaya ward official told CNN, declining to be named in line with policy.They told the local government there are no immediate health hazards.Radiation levels just a few feet from the contaminated spot are normal, Hosaka said.The Tokyo scare comes a day after officials in Yokohama, Japan's second largest city, investigated soil samples after a radioactive substance was found in sediment atop an apartment building, according to news reports.Yokohama is about 155 miles (250 kilometers) from the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant.The discovery raised concerns that leaked radiation from three Fukushima reactors that suffered meltdowns after the March earthquake and tsunami may be more widespread than thought, The Japan Times reported Wednesday.The U.S. government issued a travel alert last week, warning Americans in Japan to avoid areas near the stricken reactors.The alert recommends that U.S. citizens stay away from areas within 20 kilometers (12 miles) of the nuclear facility. The State Department also admonished Americans to stay away from territory northwest of the plant in a zone that Japan calls the "Deliberate Evacuation Area." The zone includes Iitate-mura, the Yamagiya district of Kawamata-machi, Katsurao-mura, Namie-machi and parts of Minamisoma.More from asiaIndia: Rape documentary excerpts 'incite violence against women'Indian court bans controversial interview with convicted rapistCommercial jet skids off runway at airport in NepalPowered by Livefyre

Steve - do you still need this will? I have both William and Thomas Deandy's wills of Laurens, SC.and I will send you copies of you still need them. William, father of Youngsett, and his wife Clary Cargill had several children and the will is wonderful in that it gives the daughter's husbands. Perhaps you already have all this since it was a long time aog that you asked. I am descended from Youngsett, to James A. to Sarah E. to Zillie Farmer, my Grandmmother. Zillie was a Dendy name- Izillar being her namesake as was her middle name Texonia from another Dendy aunt.I had often wondered where these unusual names came from and when I started to look at the Dendys - it got explained. Do I remember that you are descended from Oscar F, Youngsett's son? I was very interested recently to discover Youngsett in Limestone Co AL in the 1820 Limestone Co census-- not the Federal census. He is listed as Youngsett Dande. Oscar F lists his birthplace in 1850 as AL and that might be right. Looks like they were right up at the top of AL along the Tenn, River--- I tried to see if there were some allied families there at the same time and I haven't found any yet. In 1830 the family was in Pike Co, GA and by 1841 in Tallapoosa CO, AL. Can't imagine what it must have been like to travle around so much back then Would like to have some first hand reocrds and stories of their travels! Notify Administrator about this message?

The Labour party itself is based on political theories that have a "dreadful misunderstanding of reality" - that people have little self interest and their main purpose in life is to work for the common good - sharing the results equally (equitably?).
Maybe it's not "one of the small tragedies of British politics is that the Labour Party does not exactly have a long list of dream replacements to turn to". Staying out of power is the best thing tht can happen for the moment.
As much as both the Miliband bros mutter about learning from Labour's mistakes, they are still in rampant denial when it comes to the mess Labour created.
Labour's only useful purpose is to remind the British public that they are incapable of running the country, by getting elected from time to time.

Another day another shooting
Perhaps we need a dedicated massacre forum
http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/13/justic...html?hpt=hp_t2 Police took a man into custody Monday after "multiple people" were shot near Texas A&M University, a police official said. Several law enforcement officers were among the people shot, Rhonda Seaton of the College Station Police Department told CNN. She didn't have information on how many people were shot or their conditions. She said a person identified as the gunman was in custody. The shooting happened about one block from campus, Seaton said. Officer Jon Agnew with the Bryan Police Department said at least one civilian had been injured. Bryan is adjacent to College Station. Police are still at the scene making "sure there aren't multiple suspects," Officer Jason James of the Bryan Police Department said. James said the first call was that an officer was down and shots had been fired. After the initial report, the university warned people to stay away from the intersection of Welborn Road and George Bush Drive as well as part of Fidelity Drive in College Station, Texas. |
Re: Another day another shooting
Texas A&M University reports on its website that an "active shooter" is in custody in the area of the school. At least two people apparently have been injured, according to local media. The university, located in College Station, Texas, about 90 miles northwest of Houston, initially reported the shooter at 1:29 p.m. ET, and reported 15 minutes later that he was in custody. The university immediately issued a Code Maroon on its emergency website, instructing students and school personnel to avoid the area. Update at 2:35 p.m. ET: The shooting incident occurred a few blocks off campus, Texas A & M University spokeswoman Sherylon Carroll tells USA TODAY's Donna Leinwand Leger. CAPTION By Wesley Hitt, Getty Images Carroll says she learned of the shooting from the campus police chief who asked her to alert students, faculty and staff to avoid the area. Within 15 minutes, police called to say the shooter was in custody, Carroll says. "We are OK now," Carroll says. "For a while, it was scary." Update at 2:33 p.m. ET:The Eagle, the College Station newspaper, reports that the incident appears to have started on Fidelity Street near George Bush Dr., not far from the A&M Former Student's Association building. Other media reports say the shooter apparently had barricaded himself into a building. Update at 2:27 p.m. ET: KBTX reports it has confirmed that more than one law enforcement officer had been wounded. KBTX quotes a spokesperson for the College Station Police Department as saying there were no confirmed fatalities. "The scene is reportedly under control and there is no longer a danger to the public," KBTX report. Update at 2:22 p.m. ET: The College Station newspaper, The Eagle, reports that police scanners referred to two officers being wounded, but that was not immediately confirmed. (Correction at 2:56 p.m. ET: We earlier wrongly referred to the Eagle as the school newspaper.) Update at 2:18 p.m. ET: KHOU.com reports that at least two people were shot. KHOU reports that police say the suspect was firing shots from a house near the campus. Update at 2:14 p.m. ET: Police officer Seaton, in her interview with CNN, said she did not know at this time the extent of the injuries . Update at 2:12 p.m. ET: Brazos County police scanners report at least two people "are down." Update at 2:11 p.m. ET: College Station, Texas, police officer Rhonda Seaton tells CNN that the "multiple people" have been injured. Update at 2:06 p.m. ET: Here is the university's initial report on its website: Avoid Area. CSPD reports an active shooter in the area immediately southeast of the intersection of Welborn Rd and George Bush Drive. Please avoid the area. Residents in the immediate area need to remain inside their residence. No futher details were immediately available. |
Re: Another day another shooting
At least two people are dead after a shooting incident near the Texas A&M campus in College Station, Texas.
During a televised press conference, Assistant Chief Scott McCollum said a police officer and a civilian were killed during the shooting. McCollum said the alleged gunman was also shot, but he is now in custody. The (Bryan-College Station) Eagle reports that at least five people were taken to the hospital, "but it wasn't known if all were gunshot victims." "Texas A&M released a Code Maroon warning at 12:29 p.m. advising all students, staff and members of the public to avoid the area ... and to stay inside if they lived on Fidelity Street," The Eagle reported. "A second warning was issued at 12:44 stating the shooter was in custody, but people should continue to avoid the area." We'll have more on this story as it develops. Update at 3:57 p.m. ET. Constable Killed: The Houston Chronicle reports that it was Constable Brian Bachmann, an elected official, who was killed. The paper reports that Bachmann was the first officer on the scene but it is not clear what brought him there. |
Re: Another day another shooting
He shot a cop trying to serve him an eviction notice.
it wasn't another "rampage" meanwhile, over 40 people were shot in the city of Chicago over Memorial Day Weekend of this year, and that city has the strictest gun laws on the books...but they were mostly black on black, so not newsworthy |
Re: Another day another shooting
Re: Another day another shooting
I saw the flag at half-staff last week and thought maybe someone famous had died, but someone else guessed it was for the shootings at the Sikh temple - they were correct. The flag also was lowered when The Joker shot up the theater in Colorado. So is the test number of victims, location, or whether a particular class of individuals gets shot? Atlanta has multi-death "home invasion" shootings (aka drug deals gone bad) all the time and the flag never gets lowered.:noidea: |

This has probably been asked a thousand times, but what the hey. I'm preparing to do my first partial mash. In Papizian's book he says to test the wort for starch conversion with some iodine. What happens if it doesn't convert? Do you have to start over with new grain or just keep the temp at 150 -160 and let it sit longer?
You should be fine, dont worry about the test. Just make sure you try and hit your temps right. Make sure you are using grains that can self convert.
Definitely test for conversion. This is a key test when you are starting out or trying new recipes. You will most likely have no problems unless your water is unusual or you are brewing very pale or very dark beers but if you do run into problems knowing whether you had complete conversion or not will help you troubleshoot. If conversion is incomplete after your mash you can let it go longer but the enzymes are denaturing over time so the rate of conversion is continually slowing down. Some pointers on doing the test. You only need a drop of fluid from your mash. Try not to get grains or much debris in it. Place it on a white background and add a drop of iodine to it and swirl it around. Starch will turn dark purple/black. There will always be some starch granules and small grain debris that will turn black. What you are interested in however is the liquid portion with the dissolved starch which should turn the same color as the iodine you added. The first few times you do it start checking right at the beginning of your mash and then every time you stir it, this will help you distinguish the solution change from the always present undissolved starch. At the same time taste the fluid, it will become noticeably sweeter as the mash proceeds!
Let it sit longer.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!" "I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
I don't test for starch conversion, but if you choose to, you can probably use Iodaphor sanitizer in place of iodine. Iodaphor is iodine based and does stain starch black/blue.
I say do it if you have Iodophor, the practice may come in handy later. If not, don't worry about for your first partial mash, you will have enough to worry about.
For a mini mash, pH is not too important, but as you move to all grain it becomes more important. Check this out:http://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=29983 Many people use this ans skip checking the pH.

I give potted herbs as hostess gifts along with some great recipes for their use, and a history of the herb it's medicinal uses as well as it's savory uses. I also have been known to give out my recipe for my awesome vinagrette along with a basket that includes all the ingredients to whip it up and a lovely cruet bottle. I even give my specially jarred roasted garlic. I make it in large batches so we always have roasted garlic on hand. If you gve a hostess gift make it something memorable. Don't give something unhealthy or a bouquet of flowers that wither and die.

Last Christmas, I invited some friends for a holiday get-together and I was so happy to receive plants as gifts. A year after, I have these plants and just by passing the plant I remember my friends, which is great. These kinds of gifts last for many years and some for a lifetime like the books, or coasters, of wine racks...etc.

I love to give books as hostess gifts, of course tailored to the interests of the recipient! For instance, I got invited to a holiday party by my neighbor. He's a major history buff, and has recently gotten interested in Israel in particular. I bought him a copy of "Rebirth" by David Longueay (http://rebirthofisrael.com). I'm planning on giving him that and a bottle of wine.

Luna's Socks - Part 2Luna's Socks Part 2 starring Twilight Sparkle and the Princesses Celestia and LunaIt took Twilight forever to fall asleep, the incident playing over and over in her head, the same mixture of sensations and frustrations just memories now but nevertheless still raw and sensitive. But at last she fell into a fitful sleep, hot and uncomfortable but empty of dreams.......until she awoke to the sound of the windows clattering open and the rustling of the curtains against the drapery of her bed.She drew her head slowly out from under the covers to see that the whole room was lit up by silver-blue light pouring in from the now open window. The mirror had turned into a pool of quicksilver and the brass handles and hinges of the furniture were sparkling as if they had been doused in glitter.Twilight climbed out of bed, her eyes glued to the beam of light piercing the room, and took a few nervous steps towards the window. She had closed it, hadn't she? There was no way sh

I said it a second time but still nothing happened.I don't remember how long I lay there, slumped in the chair, face down, tears dripping onto the wooden top of the dresser. I think I must have cried myself asleep for the next thing I knew I could hear a most peculiar noise.It sounded like someone eating quickly and messily."Om nom nom nom nom nom!"Wait I was dreaming, right? I still had my eyes closed, so it could be a dream one of those drunk, overheated, feverish dreams I often had after a few too many drinks. But then I felt something nuzzling the side of my face something soft and furry, with warm, moist breath that smelled of vanilla and... hot-sauce?I opened my right eye a crack and I couldn't see anything but a great patch of colour and I suddenly panicked, thinking I must
Luna's Socks - Part 1Luna's Socks - Part 1 starring Twilight Sparkle and the Princesses Celestia and Luna"It's absolutely wonderful to have you back home, my faithful student," Princess Celestia said to Twilight as she walked with her along the corridor that would lead to the East Wing of Canterlot Castle where the guest rooms were. "I've missed you terribly, you know."Twilight suppressed a squeal of delight. The Princess had missed her? Oh, the things she wanted to say in reply but all she could was blush crimson and whisper, in a voice embarrassingly heavy with emotion: "I've missed you too, Princess ""It's such a shame that you can't stay in your old tower," Celestia continued as they passed a series of huge stained-glass windows interspersed with tapestries thousands of years old portraying the history of Equestria. "I'm afraid the renovations are really quite untimely.""It's alright, Princess," Twilight replied, looking at each of the tapestries thoughtfully as they passe
Adventures in Equestria Part 4Butterscotch's Adventures in Equestria Part 4 starring Butterscotch Sundae, Princess Luna and about a dozen other magical little poniesLuna stepped onto the podium and cast her huge cheerful green eyes across the assembled guests."Thank you all so much for coming!" she began. "I know the party's only just started, but I thought I'd like to get all the formalities out of the way first, if I may." She turned to the old silver-maned butler standing beside her and looked at him with mock exasperation. "Apparently it's compulsory that every royal engagement have a formal component to it!"The butler nodded once, his serene expression unchanged.Luna turned back and continued. "I'm so sorry that it's taken me so long to formally thank the Elements of Harmony for their courageous efforts on my behalf. You all risked your lives to undo the great evil that my jealousy and selfishness had wrought and prevented a titanic disaster from befalling our beloved Equestria. So let

We soon left the field of polished black glass behind us, but even so, the castle still seemed an awfully long distance away."I thought Princess Luna wasn't on the moon anymore," I said. "Did something happen between her and Princess Celestia again?""Oh, Princess Luna doesn't have to stay here, silly!" laughed Pinkie. "She just feels more comfy here than in Equestria." She brought her mouth close to my ear and whispered conspiratorially. "Just between you and me I think she's still a teeny bit embarrassed about that whole 'Nightmare Moon' thing!" When Pinkie said 'Nightmare Moon' her eyes went wide and her face was lit from below like that of an actor in a B-grade horror movie
A Mile High in the Summer SkyA Mile High in the Summer Sky starring Fluttershy and introducing Spitfire"Rainbow Dash?" Fluttershy's voice was as loud as she could make it as she looked for her friend in the rainbow-maned Pegasus pony's cloud-home but she was nowhere to be found! "...Rainbow? Oh dear!" She flumped onto a cloud and sighed. "Where are you? You promised you'd come and make a rainstorm for me! Oh, now what will happen to the poor little tadpoles?"After weeks of cloud-free summer weather, the pools in Froggy Bottom Swamp were almost completely dried up and the eggs that the poor little frogs who lived there had laid had just hatched! Oh, what was she going to do without Rainbow's help? She didn't know anything about changing the weather!Maybe she'd just wait here a little while and if Rainbow didn't come back she'd go and start collecting all the tadpoles to move them somewhere safe. Oh, that would take all day! But she'd have no other choice the rest of the

Says his party wants a country where all Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs exist in harmony
All-India Congress Committee general secretary Rahul Gandhi on Thursday lashed out at Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for his alleged double-speak on the issue of secularism.
The country's unity and development were the prime objectives of the Congress, he said.
Kicking off his election campaign in Katihar constituency in Bihar, Mr. Gandhi dealt primarily with two issues: one of Mr. Kumar's association with the Bharatiya Janata Party and the other of Congress' determination to fight alone in Bihar to ensure proper development of the State.
Mr. Gandhi focussed on the issue of secularism keeping in mind the demographic profile of the electorate in the first phase of polling in 47 constituencies on October 21 — which falls in the Muslim-dominated belt — and attacked Mr. Kumar and the BJP for attempting to woo them.
Never referring to Mr. Kumar by name, Mr. Gandhi negated his approach of keeping at bay two BJP leaders from electoral canvassing and explained that one aligned with a party's policies and programmes and not with any leader of any political party. The Congress leader did not name Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi or Varun Gandhi.
"We want to eliminate that policy (BJP's communal agenda). We want a country where all Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs exist in harmony. It is not a question of two leaders."
Mr. Gandhi time and again sought to expose Mr. Kumar's proximity with the BJP and how he had compromised on vital issues and crucial moments. "He (Mr. Kumar) supported Mr. Modi's government in Gujarat. He was in the National Democratic Alliance government and took no action. He remained silent when Biharis were being driven out of Maharashtra. That is because he was a Central Minister of the NDA."
He questioned the claims of development in Bihar. "If there is development, then why this exodus," he asked, holding the government responsible for the plight of the masses. "The fault is not with you . You are paving the path of growth in Maharashtra, Punjab and Haryana by the dint of your labour."
The people of these States know very well that they could not do without your contribution. "The people of Bihar have kept States like Punjab going."
Mr. Gandhi faulted the Janata Dal (United) led-NDA government for not providing roads, power and potable water to the people and derided their "attempt to divide the country and the State on caste and religious grounds." He also referred to the RJD's failure in delivering goods to the people.
In his attempt to make a virtue of going it alone in Bihar elections, Mr. Gandhi said that the other major political parties were busy tying up partnerships and sharing of seats. "We want to talk of development so have decided to go it alone."
"The path ahead is difficult. If we wanted we too could have easily had a tie up. Any delay on this count is not a point of bother as we stand for development and aim at involving the youth."
He said that the Congress party governments in the States were doing well and the schemes for the poor such as the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MNREGS) had been implemented in Andhra Pradesh and Haryana.
Charging that no progress had been made in Bihar, Mr. Gandhi said the Centre had provided more than Rs.1 lakh crore to the State, but it had not reached the people and alleged that the money had simply vanished.

Best Dressed Celebrities, Parties, and Models Week of July 16, 2012
This Week's Best Dressed
There were plenty of high-profile soirees to keep the fash pack on their toes this week. In the UK, the Veuve Clicquot Gold Cup Final in West Sussex brought the likes of Christopher Kane, Henry Holland, and Jade Williams out in the rain for some good old-fashioned polo fun, while over in London, the European premiere of The Dark Knight Rises brought stunning looks from Marion Cottilard and Anne Hathaway.
In New York, Sergio Rossi creative director Francesco Russo joined Barneys in feteing the opening of its freshly-renovated shoe floor; Rachel Chandler and Filipa Fino were among the well-heeled who joined Simon Doonan to ogle the designer offerings whilst noshing on tiny ice cream cones. Across town and later that same evening, Hudson jeans celebrated the release of its Cabaret campaign with a party hosted by the campaign's star, Georgia May Jagger. A dj set by Au Revoir Simone and a live performance by Dragonette kept guests Leigh Lezark and Aimee Ruby dancing all night long.
But perhaps the most talked-about event of the week was Louis Vuitton's Shanghai takeover. In honor of the reopening on the brand's giant China flagship store, Marc Jacobs not only shipped over the brand's Fall 2012 show-opening locomotive, he also whisked over a gaggle of super-chic guests. Among them? Derek Blasberg, Alexa Chung, Poppy Delevigne, Clemence Poésy, and Candace Lake.

5 Stocks Under $10 Set to Soar
Lone Pine Resources
An under-$10 stock in the oil and gas complex that's setting up to trigger a near-term breakout trade is Lone Pine Resources (LPR - Get Report), an independent oil and gas exploration, development, and production company with operations in Canada within the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Quebec and the Northwest Territories. This is another stock that's been hammered by the sellers so far in 2012, with shares off by 75%.
>>5 Takeover Targets to Buy Before Wall Street Finds Out
If you take a look at the chart for Lone Pine Resources, you'll see that this stock bottomed at a low of $1.09 a share in August after falling from over $5 a share from the previous months. Following that low, shares of LPR have started to rebound strong to a recent high of $1.86 a share. During that rebound, shares of LPR have been making mostly higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now pushed LPR within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade.
Market players should now look for long-biased trades in LPR once it manages to trigger a break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $1.68 to $1.86 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 802,580 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then LPR will have an excellent chance of re-testing or possibly taking out its next major overhead resistance levels at $2.43 to $2.80 a share. Any high-volume move above $2.80 will put $3.50 to $3.80 into range for LPR. Traders can look to buy LPR off any weakness as long as it's trending above its 50-day at $1.48 a share with strong upside volume flows. You could also buy off strength once LPR takes out those breakout levels with volume, and simply use a stop just below its 50-day at $1.48 a share.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Day 7 - Removing the Nose Cast
I just didn't sleep well last night. I went to bed about 2am, lay there and read the paper on and off until 5am, and finally did sleep until 11am. I had some proactiv sugar-free pudding in there to try to help my stomach reset itself after those antibiotics.
In good news I am down to 129.8 pounds so I'm below 130! The surgery diet system!
I had a protein shake for breakfast along with my chewable vitamins and fiber pills. My nose is feeling OK although very itchy. I really think it'll be nice to have this cast off. I'm nervous about it too, though. So far nothing has really gone smoothly. In the meantime I'm working on the upcoming fall issue of Mused.
Took a quick shower, got another 5 CDs ready to mail for eBay.
2:45 - photo time, we're running out the door to get to the 3pm appointment.
We got there right at 3 and only had to wait a little while for the doctor. The nose cast removal process was VERY easy. She swabbed some "glue-off" type of stuff along the edge of the cast and it lifted right off. Hurrah! Something was easy! She put some bactin on a q-tip and rubbed it gently along the inside of my nose. She said to do this 3 times a day after irrigating my nose. She wants me to come back in a week to get the inner splits removed.
Here are photos from when we got home at 4:33pm
As you can see, this was not a cosmetic fix :) My nose still looks crooked from the outside. However, it is all straight on the inside! Hurrah!
Bob has to go off to his sword class - the first time we've been apart in quite a number of days! I'm going to my Geek Girls "women who own businesses in the tech industry" monthly dinner, where we all support and nurture each other. It'll be my first time having clear vision in a week - I'll have to put in contacts!
OK that was exciting. It took me 20 minutes to get the contacts in and then they killed me the whole way driving to the restaurant, and my car's AC is broken :) So it was a survival test of some sort. I did survive. I had my first 'real food' - meatloaf (squishy) and mashed potatoes and gravy (squishy). I promptly got very sleepy. Then I had to drive home through an incredibly powerful pouring thunderstorm, with lakes in the road! A true adventure.
I had my probiotic pudding, along with some orange tea and a half a banana, and promptly went up to bed.

Public Enemy adapts C4 ad for Paralympian tribute
By Loulla-Mae Eleftheriou-Smith, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 06 September 2012 11:55AM
Public Enemy, the hip hop group whose music Channel 4 used in its "meet the superhumans" Paralympic Games spot, has paid tribute to the Paralympians by recutting its own music video for the track with footage from the ad.
Since the campaign launched in mid-July, the track, 'Harder Than You Think', has hit number four in the UK singles chart, the highest ranking Public Enemy has achieved to date in the UK.
The track itself was released five years ago and was put out as the first single from the group's 20th anniversary album, 'How You Sell Soul to a Soulless People Who Sold Their Soul', which only reached the top 200 at the time.
Paying tribute to the London 2012 Paralympics and the song's selection for Channel 4's campaign, Public Enemy has adapted its original video for the song using footage from the broadcaster's ad cut into the creative.
Paralympians Claire Cashmore, Steve Brown, Jon-Allan Butterworth, Jonnie Peacock, Simon Munn, Dave Clarke, Hannah Cockroft, Jody Cundy and Ellie Simmonds are featured in the video, with the extra accolade of being name-checked within the creative, unlike in the original ad.
James Walker, head of marketing at Channel 4, said: "Public Enemy are one of the greatest hip hop acts of all time. It's a fantastic testament to the impact of the Paralympics that we have been able to introduce new fans to their music."
Public Enemy's Chuck D said: "These athletes are about self-empowerment and determination. Doing what they do is harder than ya think."
The recut video was produced by Gary G-Wiz and edited by David D Snyder, using Channel 4's ad footage directed by Tom Tagholm.

So my cousin used me to take her to the big bad gun store and help her pick out a gun. She narrowed it down to a PX4 and a Sig p250. She ended up picking the p250. Of the two I think she made the right choice. Now I need to find her a decent range holster, and become somewhat familiar with the manual of arms. Does anybody here have any experience with these guns? I am probably going to be teaching her the basics. She is not going to be CCW anytime soon. Thanks in advance.
BTW Sorry I do not have pictures. LOL

Sergei Kostitsyn scores in 8th round of SO as Predators outlast Kings
LOS ANGELES -- Although Pekka Rinne is an elite NHL goalie by any measure, he had to wait six games and eight shootout rounds to earn his first victory of the season for the low-scoring Nashville Predators.
If that's the type of season he's facing, Nashville's sturdy Finnish goalie will keep trying to carry his teammates past the Los Angeles Kings and the rest of the West.
Sergei Kostitsyn scored in the eighth round, and the Predators snapped their three-game skid with a 2-1 victory over the Kings on Thursday night.
Rinne made 23 saves and stopped five of Los Angeles' eight shootout attempts as the Predators survived another weak offensive performance thanks to Rinne's sturdiness and a timely shot by Kostitsyn, who finally ended the lengthy shootout two rounds shy of the longest in Kings history.
"I've been putting a lot of pressure on myself," said Rinne, a Vezina Trophy finalist with Los Angeles' Jonathan Quick last season. "It's been a tough go so far, but hopefully this will change the course of how things have been going."
Brandon Yip scored 58 seconds into the Predators' fifth stop on a seven-game trip, but Nashville managed just one shot in a 29:20 stretch shortly afterward -- perhaps no surprise for the team that's last in the NHL in shots per game.
"We've still got to do a better job of getting shots on net and getting that traffic in front that we've been working on in practice," Yip said. "You can't win too many games getting that amount of shots, but we clamped down defensively and did a great job."
Nashville hasn't figured out how to compensate for the absence of top goal-scorer Patric Hornqvist, who sprained his knee last weekend in Anaheim. Nobody has more than Erat's four points in the Preds' first seven games, and high-priced defenseman Shea Weber is among the players who haven't scored at all.
Yet thanks to Rinne, the Predators sneaked out of Staples Center with just their third win in their last 10 meetings with the Kings.
"You knew those first few games it was going to take some time to adjust and play together, but I didn't think it was going to take this long," Rinne said. "We still have so many areas that we have to be better. Tonight, I think we finally played a team game, which is what we needed to do."
Captain Dustin Brown scored his first goal of the season for the defending Stanley Cup champions, who are off to a 2-2-2 start.
Quick stopped 13 shots for the Kings, whose NHL-worst power play went 1 for 6 while Nashville and Los Angeles slogged through a largely dull game between two of the league's lowest-scoring teams featuring no goals in the final 46 minutes of regulation or overtime. The Kings limited Nashville to 11 shots in regulation, but still couldn't shake Rinne and his solid defense.
"I'd take that game most nights," Brown said. "Limited them to less than 15 shots, not many grade-A scoring chances. I think we played the first two periods almost entirely in their zone. We've just got to figure out some ways to score goals."
Nashville only got rolling in overtime, getting three shots and most of the good scoring chances, but Nick Spaling appeared to miss an open net on the best opportunity.
David Legwand and Craig Smith scored on the Predators' first two shootout attempts, but after Mike Richards and Brown beat Rinne with change-of-pace goals, and Martin Erat missed his chance to end it for Nashville.
Three of the next four rounds were scoreless. After Simon Gagne missed to open the eighth round, Kostitsyn beat Quick for Nashville's third win in its last 10 meetings with Los Angeles.
"It just comes down to details," Kings coach Darryl Sutter said. "They scored a faceoff goal. Other than that, (Nashville) had probably three or four opportunities. We're still not getting goals out of players than we need to count on to score."
Brown got Los Angeles' only goal during a 4-on-3 power play in the first period, sweeping home a fortunate rebound of Drew Doughty's wild shot off the glass. While Brown had only one assist to show for the Kings' first five games, Doughty hadn't even scored a point since his outstanding postseason run for Los Angeles.
The Predators played the final 16:19 of the first period without recording a shot, and Legwand recorded their only shot in the first 13:01 of the second period. Nashville dumped and chased with little success, and its power play was thoroughly ineffectual against the Kings, whose own power play has struggled mightily all season.
Game notes
The clubs meet again in Nashville on Feb. 7 when the Predators finally return from their road trip -- and then must make a one-game trip to Minnesota. ... The Kings sold out Staples Center for their 29th consecutive regular-season game. ... Los Angeles F Dustin Penner was a healthy scratch for the fourth straight game. ... Southern California native Jonathon Blum was scratched again by Nashville.

Don't get ahead of yourselves folks, cause we can't know how many players will skip AO for all kinds of reasons. I'm pretty confident Donna will play MD, cause it's generally a slam with the lowest ranking required to make it in.

Take That
Take That are an English pop group who formed in 1990. The group currently consists of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, and Mark Owen. The original line-up also featured Jason Orange and Robbie Williams. Barlow acts as the group's lead singer and primary songwriter. Owen and Williams would provide backing vocals, with Donald and Orange serving primarily as dancers.
The group have had 28 top 40 singles and 17 top 5 singles in the United Kingdom,of which have reached number 1, as well as having seven number 1 albums. Internationally the band have had 56 number 1 singles and 37 number 1 albums.
Robbie Williams left the band in 1995 while the four remaining members completed their world tour and released a final single before splitting up in 1996. After filming a 2005 documentary about the group and releasing a new greatest hits album, a four-piece Take That without Williams officially announced a 2006 reunion tour around the UK, entitled The Ultimate Tour. On 9 May 2006, it was announced that the group were set to record new material together once again; their fourth studio album, Beautiful World, was released in 2006 and was followed up with The Circus, in 2008. The group achieved new success as a four-piece, scoring a string of chart hits across the UK and Europe while taking the number of records sold to 45 million worldwide.
Williams rejoined Take That in 2010 for the band's sixth studio album, Progress. Released on 15 November of that year, it was the first album of new material to feature Take That's original line-up since their 1995 album, Nobody Else. It became the fastest selling album of the 21st century and the second fastest selling album in British history.
In 2014 the band recorded a seventh studio album, this time as a trio without Williams and Orange. The album, titled III, was released in November 2014 and became the band's seventh number 1. It was preceded by the single "These Days", which became the band's 12th number 1 single in the UK.
Since 2011, Take That have set the new record for the fastest selling tour of all time in the UK with Progress Live, beating the previous record set by their Circus Live Tour in 2009, won the BRIT Award for Best British Group, and were named as Amazon's top-selling music artist of all time. In 2012, the band were announced by Forbes as the fifth highest-earning music stars in the world. In the same year, the Official Charts Company revealed the biggest selling singles artists in British music chart history with Take That currently placed at 15th overall, making them the most successful boy band in UK chart history.
As the most popular teen pop sensation in Britain since the '60s, Take That ruled the U.K. charts during the first half of the '90s.
Take That remained one of the most interesting and popular British teen pop phenomena not only of the '90s, but of the rock & roll era. Gary Barlow (born January 20, 1971) was always the central figure of Take That. As the lead vocalist and songwriter for the band, he determined its musical direction.
As a child, Barlow was already a gifted musician and, by the age of 14, he was playing organ in Ken Dodd's supporting band. One of Barlow's first songs, "Let's Pray for Christmas," was a finalist in an original Christmas song competition on the BBC television show Pebble Mill.
In his late teens, he came in contact with Mark Owen (born January 27, 1974) and Robbie Williams (born February 13, 1974), two other young musicians who came from middle-class backgrounds. Williams' father was a comedian and his mother was a singer; before the formation of Take That, he had briefly appeared in the British soap opera Brookside. Owen had previously auditioned and failed for the football team Manchester United. The trio formed the Cutest Rush, which had a short-lived career.
Take That released their debut single, "Do What U Like," on their independent Dance U.K. label in July of 1991.
The band didn't break into the big time until that summer, when its cover of Tavares' "It Only Takes a Minute" reached number seven. Following the single's success, Take That became a British media sensation, which set the stage for the group's debut, Take That and Party, to land a chart position of number five upon its release in the fall. Within a month, the single "A Million Love Songs" reached the Top Ten.
Throughout the end of 1993 and 1994, Everything Changes yielded hit singles, with the majority of the releases making their way to number one. Though it was a huge success in the U.K., Canada, and Europe, the album was never released in the United States.
During the summer of 1995, it became evident that he was getting ready to break away from Take That. Williams began tagging along after Oasis, who were notorious for their drug and alcohol intake. He became the target of a number of tabloid reports about his bad behavior, and he began bragging to the weekly music press that he was working on solo material that sounded like Oasis.
Since all the members of Take That were young men in their mid-twenties, searching for their own identities and desperate to retain credibility, they were beginning to feel uncomfortable with the shiny, polished pop that their group had trademarked -- all of the members, that is, except Gary Barlow, who had decided that he was the heir to the throne Elton John and George Michael once held.
In 2011, Take That's song "Love Love" was chosen as the theme song for the film X-Men: First Class and later, When We Were Young was chosen as the main theme for The Three Musketeers movie. Both tracks come off the EP Progressed.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Justin Bieber's mom, Pattie Mallette, has left out some of the rougher details of her early life for a new teen edition of her memoir, "Nowhere But Up, Teen Edition: The Story of Justin Bieber's Mom."
RELATED: Justin Bieber lands a famous male fan at hockey match
Out Tuesday from the inspirational publisher Revell, the book includes advice, statistics and hotline numbers for young people on depression, pregnancy, bullying and unwanted sexual advances.
Mallette, who gave birth to Bieber at age 18, faced all of those problems, and more, growing up in Canada. She now lives in Los Angeles, and recently shared her story with young people in the Watts projects, hoping her struggles and turn to Christianity can offer hope.
"There was this one young man. He was probably late teens, early 20s. He said, 'You know, who knew that your story could relate so much with me and that I would have so many similarities with the things that you went through,'" Mallette recalled in a telephone interview from Los Angeles. "I mean, his sister's been shot, but he's been through so many similar emotions and so many similar circumstances."
For Mallette, those circumstances began with the painful divorce of her parents when she was 2. Sex abuse at the hands of a series of tormenters began at 3. She was left with a feeling of worthlessness that led her to drinking, drugging and a suicide attempt by age 17.
RELATED: Selena Gomez debuts her mom's baby bump on Twitter
"A lot of teenagers are feeling really discouraged at their circumstances," said Mallette, whose memoir, co-written with A.J. Gregory, came out last year.
And what of her own son? Mallette was tightlipped about Bieber's lower moments of late.
There have been reports of speeding in his Calabasas, Calif., neighborhood, run-ins with paparazzi, boos at the Billboard Awards and a pet monkey relinquished in Germany.
While she talks to her son regularly, Mallette said Wednesday he prefers she not speak publicly about recent controversies.
"He wants me to continue to respect his boundaries and my relationship with him," Mallette said. "Everybody has their own opinion, and everybody wants to sensationalize everything."
RELATED: Best and worst beach bods
Parenting a teen isn't easy for anybody, let alone a pop star with millions of dedicated fans and followers on Twitter and Instagram.
"You have to sort of let them make some of their own decisions," she said. "Me, personally, I would love to be with him all the time and to be able to ground him and deal with his problems and do all of that stuff, but at some point the parenting style changes. I hope to still be a respected voice in his ear."

Research has shown that cell phones emit more radiation while there is low signal strength.The phone has to work harder to reach far away towers. Anyone who lives in the Ogden area, especially middle sound loop, knows signal strength is weak to non existent depending on their provider. So the addition of a cell tower would reduce the harm of cell phones, and if big lots is in your back yard you already have a crappy view anyway. »

2011 Seven Hills Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Review Date: 1-22-2014
Has there been a more consistent Cabernet Sauvignon at the $20 price point than the Seven Hills Columbia Valley bottling? Pretty much every year for the last decade this bottling has been top notch, rivaling bottles that are twice its cost. In 2011 a cold growing season, maybe the coldest on record in Eastern Washington, many wineries decided to not produce their top wines. This is exactly what Seven Hills did, funneling all of their best fruit into the lower tier bottlings. This Columbia Valley Cabernet comes from fruit throughout the massive appellation focusing on fruit from Wahluke Slope, Yakima Valley, Red Mountain and Walla Walla Valley, mostly from great declassified lots. This blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Carmenere, 4% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot and 5% Malbec, and it over-delivers greatly for $20. It's showing just how fantastic Cabernet can still be in this price point. Exciting and vital on the nose, this has alluring aromatics of crushed violet, old leather, Bing cherry, bay leaf and black olive. On entry the wine is lithe and accepting, it sort of waves you in with its cocoa powder, black raspberry, Oolong tea and crème brulee flavors. Softly tannic this is a wine that you can drink instantly but will also continue to develop over the next 3-7 years. I would be hard pressed to find a better Cab for $20 from Washington or anywhere else for that matter.
Price: $19.99
2010 Brewer-Clifton Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay
Review Date: 5-23-2013
The wines of Brewer-Clifton have long been some of the K&L staffs favorite Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays made in California. Maybe it was because of their unflinching stylistic choices to make energetic, sunny, fresh wines. Maybe it was due to fact that they offered some of the best values in their respective price points. But mostly I think that it was just because they made wines that just about anyone could enjoy. The wines from B-C straddle a perfect line between the modern, richly flavored, bold wines that I like to call new-school and the subtle, thoughtful, precisely balanced wines of the old world. This Santa Rita Hills Chardonnay, pulled from some of the most famed vineyards of the region,Mount Carmel, 3-D, Gnesa, Sea Smoke, and Zotovich , to be exact is just a silly value for $24.99. Full of vibrant aromas like cantaloupe, kiwi, clover honey and apricot one would think that this would be one of those monster chardonnays but it is far from it. Sure it has a wonderful, round, filling texture on the mouth but it is far from heavy. Richly flavored, check, but this is no hammer with lifting tones of Kaffir lime, peach skin and orange flesh and a long nervy finish that speaks of the cool climate of the region. If you never had a wine from B-C this is a perfect place to begin and if you already have you know what a tremendous value this really is.
Price: $24.99
2009 Saarloos & Sons "His" Santa Ynez Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Review Date: 4-3-2013
Sometimes you just know. You just sort of have a feeling that everything is going to work out just fine. Some call it ESP, some say it is their gut feeling and some are just so braggadocios that they will tell you they knew all along. Well, whatever you want to call it I think all of us that visited Saarloos and Sons on our recent trip to the Central Coast back in late February knew pretty quickly that we were going to do some really cool stuff together. I originally heard a hot tip about this winery from Bob Lindquist at Qupé a while back and if Bob says someone is doing a good job than that is good enough for me.
What I didnt know was just how much this family is committed to making great wines, being true stewards to their vineyards all the while having ridiculous amounts fun and trying to pass their wines onto people in a truly different way. I mean cupcakes with wine pairings at the tasting bar??? Seriously rad. Gift Certificates made out of barrel staves. Totally bitchin right? Letting their 6 year old daughter decide when to begin harvest on their Sauvignon Blanc? Genius! Writing a sustainable 250 year business plan? That is just plain cray-cray. But even without all the coolness surrounding this family project I would have loved these wines every bit as much. The reason: purity. These wines are the essence of well farmed fruit made gently into even better wines. Sometimes when you taste wines with the people behind them it gives you a better context in which to understand the wines. Here we instantly saw the personality of the people in the wine: honest, dedicated, farmers, looking to do something classic but always with a modern spin. Basically what Im trying to say is these awesome guys and gals make wines that perfectly personify that awesomness.

2007 Chateau Montelena Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Review Date: 3-24-2011
Call it "classic," call it "old school," call it whatever you want but this is still one of the best mid-priced Cabernets coming out of Napa. Full of intense black fruited richness, woody tannin and leafy/foresty spice this is sure to please those that are looking for something leaning more towards the traditional side of Cabernet.
Price: $59.99
Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales "Bam Biere" Farmhouse Ale, Michigan 750ml
Review Date: 5-25-2010
The Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales "Bam Biere" is one of the best work horse beers out there. Made in the style of a Saison this is one of the best interpretations coming out of the US right now. With its yeasty, fruity nose of peach, apricot, fresh bread dough, tangerine and a pinch of clove this is about as traditional as Saison gets. Lightweight on the palate but full of flavor the beer displays flavors of brewers yeast, fried plantains, wet earth, savory grassy tones and a bit of drying hoppiness in the finish. The sweet/bitter interplay here is perfect, keeping the beer from ever getting out of balance or cloying white the understated fruitiness builds complexity as it goes. Big time Boosh!
Price: $10.99
West County Cider "Redfield" Cider, Massachusetts 750ml
Review Date: 5-25-2010
A perfect summer beverage is the West County Cider "Redfield" Cider. This is far from your typical cider made from the apple varietal of Redfield which is red fleshed giving the cider its brilliant orange, ruby color. Aromas of raspberry, rose water, mango and warm clay are wonderfully alluring and really add a separate dimension that most will not expect from cider. The cheery, bright flavors of cherry, cinnamon and pear build on each other developing acidity and cut as they go until you reach the grainy bittersweet apple quality towards the center of the mid palate. Mildly tannic and totally serious this has the ability to change any negative opinions you may have had about cider in the past. Total Boosh!

I have custom made S&W .32 cal. revovler handgun. The story bedhind this gun is that my wife's grandpa lived in usa from 1925 - 1945 and the boss of S&W gave him this custom made gun. It look like new, very beautyfull gun. I had contact to specialist at Blue Book of Gun, he wrote this to me: ------After much careful research, I can only draw one conclusion that would make all of the pieces to this puzzle fit. That conclusion is that this is a rare K-32 Hand Ejector First model. There were only 94 of this model made and they were all in the 653388-682207 serial number range ( yours fits). All of the evidence points to this model (gold dot front sight, serial number, frame, pinned barrel, etc.) ----- Im ready to sell this gun.Where can i find gun collectors or someone who would be interest for buing my gun?

Gun broker or some other gun auction site.
I don't need No stinking signature.
gunbroker is ONE possible venue- however- there are auctioneers that specialize in highly collectable firearms. This is ONE of those companies you might check with: http://www.armsbid.com/ You might also email Mr. Jim Supica, the curator of the National Firearms Museum in Fairfax (NRA HQ). Jim used to run Olde Town Station, which did much of that type of selling- and see if there is a company he could suggest to handle the sale. Please do NOT ask Jim to establish a value of your gun (value of an item is what it will bring at a sale- old axiom). Or you could avoid all the hassle and make one moderator very happy by wrapping the gun securely, and ship it to me. I will love it, care for it, and shoot it now and again, and think nice things about you.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
vito- sorry- just noticed that you are not here in the US (Iceland? Really?) To sell that in the US will pose a challenge- import laws. Mr. Supica may be able to suggest a European auction house.

"Worse software ever I tried You CANNOT use it!"
Version: Opera Mail 1.0
None. With Outlook Express it asks you for you POP server-
I don't know that.
Then It asks you for you SMPT server-
I don't know that. So you cannot use Outlook Express anyway unless you know the POP server. But Opera Mail does not even ask you for that so you've got NO CHANCE of using it.Cons
Even when you set up your eail corectly it does not work. There is no Send and receive on Opera mail so you cannot get your mail.
With Outlook Express and Clones. That is Outlook Express, Windows Mail, and Windows Live Mail if you know the POP server( which I don't) you can at least use the email client and get your mail.
But with Opera Mail you cannot revive any email messages and it does not work at all. There is no send and receive on Opera Mail. And Each message you try to send fails. So it is absolutely useless. Opera Mail is the most useless piece of junk ever. But then this is the same software that makes Opera web browser which is also terrible and unusable. So uninstall this in 10 minutes of tryng to use it. Don't waste your time with this as you won't be able to use it at all. Stick to Outlook Express or Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail which works on Windows 8. Forget Opera Mail.
