There's no need to use nails or drill spikes into a tree trunk, which can harm or kill a tree, when you have these tree straps available. It's a small way you can do a part in preserving the health and welfare of the trees in your yard, at the cottage or in the forest. These Eco-Friendly Hammock Tree Straps simply wrap around the tree and allow you to hook up whatever hammock you like. You can set the straps at the right height for maximum enjoyment.
These strong tree straps are 10.5 feet long, which means you can wrap them around any sized tree – from medium to large – and not do any damage. They almost look too simple, but they work like a charm. They'll even support an XL hammock, with a capacity of 450 pounds. In addition, they're made of heavy duty nylon that resists the weather. They are sold in a pack of two, meaning you have the straps for both ends of your hammock in the same package. Also included is the hanging hardware to attach any hammock.
The set-up is easy. Most of our customers say it takes less than 10 minutes to install the straps, find the proper height and hook up the hammock. The delivery person will barely have time to get the truck out of the driveway before you'll be ready to relax!

Involtini di Melanzane (Eggplant Rolls)
I was looking for a recipe to use up some eggplant that I had when I came across this recipe for eggplant rolls. I had some pancetta that needed to be used so I swapped the ham out for the pancetta. I also had some marinara sauce in the freezer and I thought that that would go well on top. (It is alway good to have some marinara sauce in the freezer. You never know when it will come in handy.) It turned out that I only had 8 slices of pancetta so I did not get to make very many rolls. Certainly not enough to fill the whole baking dish. They were pretty good though; really tasty.
1 eggplant (sliced thinly lengthwise)
1 slice pancetta per roll
1 leaf basil per roll
1 cube mozzarella per roll
1 cup marinara sauce
1. Broil the eggplant slices for about 5 minutes per side.
2. Lay the eggplant slice out, top with a slice of pancetta, a basil leaf and a cube of mozzarella.
3. Roll the eggplant up and place it in a baking dish.
4. Top the eggplant rolls with the marinara sauce.
5. Bake in a preheated 350F oven for about 20-30 minutes.

You've mentioned forum rules, but I actually cannot see any around - Erebus mentiones elsewhere about the sign-up dialogue, but it would be nice to have a reference copy.
I know that we're probably talking common sense here. Perhaps replacing the default VBull FAQ with the SFFWorld rules?
Btw - I missed the event, but I've had to administrate over such case on previous boards. Never fun.

Wasn't there a thread explaining the details about Avatars? Is my search query just misformated, or am I imagining things?
If not, what are the proper paramaters of an Avatar? IE, Pixel Ratio, maximum allowable k, etc... I am going on the assumption that a girl with big boobs jumping up and down and bouncing down and up is not acceptable viewing material
Oh and I'll second the motion to overhaul the FAQ.

I believe Dag has turned off the sigs. As often the sigs, with pictures are larger than the posts and take up too much space on the server.
July 20th, 2003, 04:37 AM #11
Yep - the sigs are indeed switched off, for the reasons above.

Just a general question, I didn't think it would warrant a whole new thread.
Why am I constanly being randomly subscribed to threads? I look at my e-mail and I have about 10 from sff saying that someone replied to a thread I subscribed to, and I say, wait, I didn't subscribe to that thread, then I look in my cp, and I'm subscribed to 1-3 threads, some of which I haven't visited in days or weeks. What is the deal?
July 21st, 2003, 08:49 PM #13
Same here, Dom. I only get a few threads, and they seem random! I know you can unsubscribe to a thread though, if you check out the bottom of the e-mail that you receive.

I don't have any threads subscribed to in my user cp and yet I get e-mail notifications to threads that it says I've subscribed to. I find that they are threads to which I've recently contributed i.e. not random.
I wonder if that's a 'feature' of the system.
July 22nd, 2003, 02:50 AM #15
Hi guys,
You need to go to your user cp, where it will list your subscribed threads, and remove any that you don't want. Then, to make sure it doesn't happen again, click on 'edit options' at the top of the user cp page. Scroll down to "Use 'Email Notification' by default?" and select 'no'.
Hope that does it!!

Steven Tyler Says He Turned Down Led Zeppelin Stadium Gigs And Album
Wednesday, January 9, 2013
Steven Tyler has given the most in-depth account of his weeklong stint jamming with Led Zeppelin. Following the success of the band's 2007 London reunion show -- now available as Celebration Day -- Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, and Jason Bonham kept rehearsing in hopes that Robert Plant would soon join them, but when Plant showed no interest, the trio sought out outside singers for a possible new project.
Tyler told his side of the story to Classic Rock magazine, recalling: "I went over and played with Jimmy and the rest of them in (summer 2008). It wasn't an audition to be in Zeppelin, it was an audition to play with Zeppelin. We were going to do a couple of stadiums. And then while I was there, Jimmy spoke to me about maybe doing an album. I went home and thought about it for a couple of days, and I got back to him and said, 'Look Jimmy, you're in an iconic band and so am I. I can't in good faith, leave my band and be in your band.'"
He went on to say, "We played all day for a week. Every time we took a break I smoked a cigar and Jimmy smoked a cigarette. We went out back and spoke with Jimmy about everything on the planet. It started out with, 'Jimmy, you have no idea how grateful I am to have the chance to come over and jam with you guys.' And he goes, 'Well, maybe we can play some shows together.' And I said, 'Stop right there. I'm playing in a band with John Paul Jones?'"
Tyler explained that although he had a blast, he soon realized that he had his own band situation to work out: "They let me sing every song I wanted; 'Black Dog,' 'Stairway To Heaven.' But it was just a week. And yeah, Jimmy asked me to do some stuff with him. But I didn't want to be Coverdale/Page. Plus, I figured in the time it would take to do that, I could rally my own band back together. So, was I gonna be in Jimmy's band? No. But what an honor."
Steven Tyler told us that regardless of Aerosmith's well-documented ups and downs -- unlike many of their peers -- the band has proven to be truly unstoppable: "We have that one thing about us, that we never quit, we never gave up, we always went on tour, and we always did an album. If you were to ask me, 'What's the greatest thing Aerosmith ever did?' -- we stuck around."

DNR's long-term goals for deer are to ensure the present and future well-being of deer and their habitat; maintain deer populations at levels necessary to ensure compatibility with human land uses and natural communities; encourage and promote the recreational use and enjoyment of the deer resource; inform and educate Maryland citizens about deer biology, management options and the impacts that deer have on landscapes and people. Both native white-tailed deer and exotic sika deer populations are managed through hunting.
Hunting Hours
One half hour before sunrise to one half hour after sunset.
Licensing and Stamp Requirements
A Regular Hunting License, Junior Hunting License, any senior hunting license or Nonresident Hunting License is required to hunt deer with a firearm. In addition to a hunting license, archery deer hunters must purchase an Archery Stamp and muzzleloader deer hunters must purchase a Muzzleloader Stamp. Archery deer hunters must purchase a Muzzleloader Stamp in order to hunt deer with archery equipment during muzzleloader season. Hunters entitled to hunt without a license do not need to purchase Archery, Muzzleloader, or Bonus Antlered Deer Stamps. Hunters with a Senior Lifetime Consolidated License do not need to purchase Archery or Muzzleloader Stamps but must purchase Bonus Antlered Deer Stamps to take bonus antlered deer. Hunters not required to have a license must obtain a free DNRid number and a free Maryland Big Game Harvest Record if they intend to hunt deer. These items may be obtained from a DNR Sport License agent or online at www.dnr.maryland.gov/service.
Bonus Antlered Deer Stamps
A Bonus Antlered Deer Stamp is required by all license holders to take a second antlered deer in Region B during one season of their choice (archery, muzzleloader, or firearms). For example, a deer hunter must purchase a Bonus Antlered Deer Stamp before attempting to take a second antlered deer with a firearm in Region B. An individual who purchases a Bonus Antlered Deer Stamp but does not use it during a particular season may use that stamp during any subsequent season (muzzleloader, firearms, or archery season) in that hunting license year. Bonus Stamps are not required to take antlerless deer. Region B hunters are reminded that two antlerless deer must be taken in any combination of seasons in Region B before a second antlered deer can be taken with a Bonus Antlered Deer Stamp. The Bonus Antlered Deer Stamp may not be used during the October segment of the Muzzleloader Season in Region B.
Daily Limit
In all counties, there is no restriction that applies to the number of deer that may be taken per day within the season bag limits unless otherwise specified.
Legal Hunting Devices
See Archery, Falconry & Firearm Regulations.
Electronic Deer Calls
Recorded or electrically amplified calls or sounds are prohibited for the purpose of deer hunting. This would include calls or sounds imitating common deer vocalizations or noises such as grunts, snorts, bleats, and antler rattling. Non-electronic deer calls are permitted for deer hunting.
Deer Tagging and Checking
The complete instructions for deer and turkey tagging and checking are found on Tagging & Checking.
Dogs cannot be used to hunt deer except trained tracking dogs may be used to find dead, wounded or injured deer. The dog handler must maintain physical control of the tracking dog at all times and only the hunter and dog handler may carry a firearm or bow while tracking the deer. Prior to tracking the deer, the hunter must notify by telephone the Natural Resources Police. See Addresses & Phone Numbers for NRP offices. The hunter may dispatch the deer only during legal shooting hours and by means legal for the current hunting season.
Deer in Water
Deer may not be hunted while they are swimming or taking refuge in water.
Fallow Deer
Fallow deer may be taken in place of white-tailed deer during each of the seasons. Fallow deer have escaped from captivity and are found in a few isolated areas in Maryland.
Sika Deer
Sika deer season dates are the same as white-tailed deer seasons. Sika deer bag limits are independent of the white-tailed deer bag limits. Sika deer may be hunted only in Caroline, Dorchester, Somerset, Talbot, Wicomico, and Worcester counties.
Baiting Deer
Baiting deer is legal, except on State-owned or State-controlled properties, or areas where it is specifically prohibited due to Chronic Wasting Disease (see Chronic Wasting Disease regulations on this page).
Antlered Deer Definition
An antlered white-tailed deer is a deer with two or more points to one antler, or a deer with one antler three or more inches long, measuring from the top of the skull as the deer is in life.
An antlered sika deer is a sika deer with at least one antler visible above the hairline.
Deer Seasons & Bag Limits
Maryland has two "Deer Management Regions." See Deer Management Regions. The antlered deer bag limit is now a statewide limit. There are no longer separate Region A and Region B antlered bag limits. Antlerless bag limits remain independent for Region A and Region B. Deer seasons and bag limits for each Deer Management Region are located on Deer Seasons and Bag Limits.
Deer Harvested With Archery Equipment During Muzzleloader or Firearms Season
Deer harvested with archery equipment during the antlerless-only second split of the early Muzzleloader Season in Region B must count towards the archery bag limit. Deer harvested with archery equipment during the first-split either-sex early Muzzleloader or late Muzzleloader Season must count towards the Muzzleloader Season bag limit. Hunters must have a Muzzleloader Stamp to hunt deer with archery equipment during the first-split either-sex early Muzzleloader or late Muzzleloader Season. Deer harvested with archery equipment during the 2-week Firearms or 2-day late Firearms Season must count towards the firearms bag limit.
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a naturally occurring disease of the brain and nervous system in deer, elk, and moose (cervids). CWD is classified as a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) and attacks the brain of cervids, producing small lesions that eventually result in death. DNR has tested over 7,000 random hunter-harvested deer for CWD since 2002, and detected the disease for the first time in Maryland from a sample taken from a deer in November 2010. The infected deer was harvested by a hunter in Allegany County within four miles of Hampshire County, West Virginia, where CWD has been present since at least 2005.
Concerns over CWD should not stop hunters from enjoying the hunting season or any venison they may acquire. CWD has not been shown to be transmissible to humans. However, it is recommended that hunters field-dressing or butchering deer should take the same precautions as they might to protect against other pathogens or diseases. The following common-sense precautionary measures are recommended for the safe handling, field-dressing and home processing of venison:
CWD Management
Due to the detection of CWD in Allegany County, DNR has implemented a number of measures to prevent the unintentional spread of CWD to other locations in Maryland. The changes outlined below apply only to the CWD Management Area (CWDMA), which is that section of Allegany County with the Private Land Code number of 233, regardless of whether it was taken on private or public land (see the map on Private Land Codes (pdf)).
Dumpsters will be available at select locations to dispose of carcass parts before leaving the CWDMA. Please consult the DNR website (www.dnr.maryland.gov) or contact DNR at 301-842-2702 for a list of dumpster locations.
Carcass Importation Ban
The primary objective in the management of CWD is to prevent its spread into new areas. One possible mode of disease transmission is by the movement and disposal of infected carcasses. In an effort to minimize the risk for disease spread, Maryland, along with many other states, has adopted regulations that prohibit the importation of whole carcasses and certain carcass parts of deer, moose and elk harvested from states that have CWD.
A person may bring only the following parts of a dead deer, elk, or moose into Maryland from another state or province's designated CWD containment, surveillance, or management area: (1) meat with no part of the spinal column or head attached; (2) hind quarters and front shoulders with no spinal column or backbone attached; (3) meat without backbone; (4) cleaned hide with no head attached; (5) skull plate cleaned of all meat and brain tissue; (6) antlers with no meat or soft tissue attached; (7) upper canine teeth, also known as buglers, whistlers, or ivories; and (8) finished taxidermy mount or tanned hides. The Department will maintain a list of CWD positive states/provinces and contact numbers to call to confirm the containment areas in those areas that are subject to these restrictions. The list is available on the DNR website (http://dnr.maryland.gov/wildlife/Hunt_Trap/deer/disease/cwdinformation.asp) or by calling 410-260-8540.
Any person who imports or possesses a cervid carcass or part of a cervid that was tested for chronic wasting disease in another state or province and is notified that the cervid tested positive, must report the test results to the Maryland Department of Natural Resources within 24 hours of receiving such notification- by telephone at 301-842-0332; or by FAX 301-842-1026; or by email to email@example.com.
Travelers may pass through Maryland with cervid carcasses, provided that no parts are disposed of or remain in the state.
If you hunt deer, elk, moose or other cervids in other states and/or provinces, particularly those in which CWD has been detected, check with the respective fish and wildlife agencies regarding special regulations or specific advice for hunters. Also check with your home state fish and wildlife agency to ensure that animals lawfully killed elsewhere may be imported and possessed in your state. Additional information can be found at the CWD alliance website www.cwd-info.org and the Maryland DNR website www.dnr.maryland.gov.
Taking Deer Carcasses out of Maryland
Because Maryland is considered a CWD positive state, deer hunters must follow carcass importation regulations in other states when they transport a deer carcass out of Maryland (see www.cwd-info.org/index.php/fuseaction/policy.regulationsMap). The surrounding states of Delaware, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia each have specific regulations as to whether they will allow whole deer carcasses or only parts of carcasses to enter from Maryland. Likewise, the regulations for each of these states vary as to whether they apply to deer from anywhere in Maryland, or just to deer taken within the CWDMA. Hunters are strongly encouraged to check state regulations before transporting deer carcasses.
Proper Disposal of Game Carcasses
The Wildlife and Heritage Service reminds hunters that State and local ordinances limit how game carcasses and other animal remains may be disposed of. Most hunters dispose of game carcasses properly, but some resort to dumping carcasses, bones or hides by the side of the road or in a public spot.
State law prohibits the dumping of dead wildlife or remnants on roadways, rights-of-way or on private property without the landowner's consent. Doing so is considered "littering." If apprehended, an offender may be charged with a misdemeanor and face fines up to $12,500 and one year in jail.
In some counties and municipalities, a portion of the local landfill is designated to safely receive such animal byproducts. In other areas, game carcasses should be buried to a depth of at least two feet and thoroughly covered by earth or stone.
Anyone who witnesses illegal dumping of wildlife parts should note the time, date and place of the activity. If possible, get a physical description of the people involved and a vehicle license number. This information can be given to the Natural Resources Police via a toll-free call at 1-800-635-6124. All callers will remain anonymous and may receive a cash reward.
Western Maryland Hunters and Black Bears
Western Maryland (Garrett, Allegany, Washington, and Frederick counties) is home to a healthy black bear population. Accordingly, hunters may find themselves encountering black bears, especially in and around natural or artificial food sources, such as bait piles. Although black bears are generally shy animals and run when confronted by people, they may try to protect a food source. Black bears are wild animals that should be treated with respect. If approached by a bear while hunting, DNR recommends that you make your presence known to the bear. Make noise, remain upright, and don't run.
For people wishing to carry a form of personal protection, DNR recommends the use of Bear Pepper Spray as a safe, legal, and effective bear deterrent. It has a long shelf-life, large volume, and is discharged in an expanding cloud that will reach its target up to 35 feet away. There are a variety of Bear Pepper Sprays on the market that can be purchased at local sporting goods stores or on the Internet. When purchasing Bear Pepper Spray, be sure that the product states that it is for use on bears and has been approved by EPA.
Maryland Trophy Deer Contest
The 2013 Maryland Trophy Deer Contest recognizes the "top" deer in each county taken during the 2011-2012 deer hunting seasons for the Maryland State Record Book. Highest scoring bucks (typical and nontypical) are recognized for white-tailed deer taken during each of the vertical bow, crossbow, muzzleloader, and firearms seasons. The Boone and Crockett method of scoring is used. Separate categories for sika deer and fallow deer are also available.
The 2013 contest will be held at the Southern Maryland Hunting and Outdoor Expo on August 23–25 2013. The Southern Maryland Expo is located at the Charles County Fairgrounds in LaPlata, Maryland. The Contest is cosponsored by the Maryland Bowhunters Society, the Maryland Chapter of the Quality Deer Management Association, and the DNR Wildlife & Heritage Service. For more information regarding the 2013 contest contact Mr. Walter "Tinker" Johnson at 301-349-2413, or DNR at 301-842-0332.
Donate Deer to Feed the Hungry!
Donate a whole deer and Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry (FHFH) pays the processing fee (as funding permits) OR Have a deer processed for yourself and donate a portion of the meat to FHFH. Visit www.fhfh.org or call 866-GET-FHFH to find participating meat processors.
FHFH is looking for local Coordinators to help increase venison donation and distribution to the hungry. Please call 866-GET-FHFH or email email@example.com for more information.

David Foster Wallace
Marion Ettlinger
Feb. 21, 1962 - Sept. 12, 2008
David Foster Wallace used his prodigious gifts as a writer — his manic, exuberant prose, his ferocious powers of observation, his ability to fuse avant-garde techniques with old-fashioned moral seriousness — to create a series of strobe-lit portraits of a millennial America overdosing on the drugs of entertainment and self-gratification, and to capture, in the words of the musician Robert Plant, the myriad "deep and meaningless" facets of contemporary life.
A prose magician, Mr. Wallace was capable of writing — in his fiction and nonfiction — about subjects from tennis to politics to lobsters, from the horrors of drug withdrawal to the small terrors of life aboard a luxury cruise ship, with humor and fervor and verve. At his best he could write funny, write sad, write sardonic and write serious. He could map the infinite and infinitesimal, the mythic and mundane. He could conjure up an absurd future — an America in which herds of feral hamsters roam the land — while conveying the inroads the absurd has already made in a country where old television shows are a national touchstone and asinine advertisements wallpaper our lives. — Michiko Kakutani

Rated 5 out of 5 by Retiredteacher Stunning.. Fit well and feel even better...feel sexy and hot in these! Not the boring boxer. Love them. Have purchased this brand previously...hold up wonderfully. Good value. November 24, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by metajim Good Stuff I liked the older version of these paisley boxers better that had a shorter, color- integrated waist band and a slightly tighter fit. Having said that, these Perry Ellis briefs are still among the best available on today's market at any price. October 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by WalkingMan Luxury and Practicality...what more do you need? I wear PE boxers every day. In fact, I wore them every day on a walking/hiking trip in Spain. I walked almost 600 miles in about 5 weeks. At the beginning of this trek, the days were very hot. Luckily, all my clothing was "quick-drying." I realize that the PE underwear does not state this, but I can tell you from experience, they are. I had NO CHAFFING. Even at high temperatures and high levels of physical exertion, the underwear stayed comfortable. Here's the most important part. Every other day I hand washed my clothing. Usually there were no machines available. I also had to hang all my clothes out to dry on a clothesline. Late one afternoon, I was sitting at a table, with two women, in an outdoor bar adjacent to the hostel in which I was staying. The clothesline was in the back of this area. One of the women said, "Whose underwear is that?" I didn't saying anything right away. She said, "That is the best looking pair of men's underwear I've ever seen...I'd even like to wear those." September 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by jonbob I would recommend to everyone. As I said in the opening. I would recommend these to anyone and everyone. very comfortable and priced right. January 23, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by J the vice president Great Boxers use this for daily wear. very comfortable hopefully this item will go on sale. January 18, 2013

Lester's domination, lights-out relief leave Sox one win from Series title
Tuesday, October 29, 2013
ST. LOUIS — Jon Lester pitched the Boston Red Sox within a whisker of yet another World Series championship.
His biggest brush with major trouble came well before his first pitch. He was getting loose near the warning track when a team of eight Clydesdales pulling a beer wagon came trotting by -- it's a Busch Stadium tradition and Lester stood aside to watch the horses.
The St. Louis hitters went quietly, a couple slinging their bats after routine popups and fly balls and others questioning the solid calls by plate umpire Bill Miller.
It was a big sports night in St. Louis, with an NFL game between the Rams and Seattle eight blocks away at the Edward Jones Dome. This is a baseball town, clearly: Football tickets sold for $10 on StubHub as kickoff approached, and fans inside the dome loudly booed when the World Series game was taken off the video board.

Reviews for Best Deviled Eggs
Sort By :
"Very delicious! I also added a bit of finely minced onion. A hit at our Easter celebration!"
"So I never follow recipes exactly. I added a tiny bit of apple cider vinegar and they were really good. Will make these again, I like the idea of adding milk-never thought of that."
"I thought these had a nice tangy flavor and not to heavy on the spices where you couldn't taste the egg. I will make this recipe again and I also use this recipe just to add flavor to my mayo for sandwiches, etc. and not add the eggs. Great recipe. Thank you."
"I ONLY use Dukes mayo. for my deviled eggs."
"Took this recipe for a test drive a while back. Mr and I both agreed that this recipe is a very nice change from both the normal and overly loaded Deviled Egg recipes.I cut back on the mayonnasie. Used fresh Chopped chives including some of the white part. As well as a dash of Mustard.It has that Old fashioned taste. Creamy and Good. I'd hands down make them again . I gave them a new look by cutting them in half. Slicing off a small piece from the bottom. They sat perfectly still. I loved the New Look ~ Janie."

text: Where the Legend Begins" is a side story adaptation from the characters of the Three Kingdoms story. Ada Choi Siu Fun stars as Yun Fok, who later becomes the Empress of the Wei kingdom. Surprisingly, despite obvious differences between the actual story and TVB's adaptation, this series did manage to capture the essence of the overall story and told its story in a consistent manner. The story is a tragic one and is already foreshadowed at the very beginning with the tale of Lok Sun (Luo Shen, mandarin), the River Lok Goddess or otherwise known as the Goddess of the Luo River. "Where" begins with a dream where Lok Sun was punished into the mortal world for being the cause of rift between her husband and another god. It is not hard to guess that Yun Fok is the reincarnation of Lok Sun and will have a similar fate.

Thinking about my first boyfriend
Hey there. I'll post self-help reviews on Monday. Have a good weekend.
Q: I'm younger than most of your writers. I am 19 but I don't believe that a lack of maturity is an issue in my story.
My ex, "C," and I have been broken up for almost two years. We started dating when I was much younger and he was much older. He was my first real boyfriend (and first everything). We had a great relationship. We dated for a year and a half until I ended it because I was young and felt trapped. The relationship was too serious for me and I guess I got scared and wanted out. I was on and off with C while being on and off with my current boyfriend, "J," for a month or two. The day after I finally ended it with C for good, I started dating J more seriously. Now J and I have been dating for the two years, but every day I think about C and regret my decision. Sometimes I think about how C was the right person, wrong time, but I know that's not true. My current boyfriend is everything I want in a man, but for some reason I'm not happy. Well, I'm happy as long as I don't think about C.
I know C feels the same way. We can't be in the same place because it's too heart-wrenching. We both care so much about each other, and I'm the one who just won't go back. I just know that he isn't the kind of boyfriend I want, not abusive or anything terrible, just lazy, snobbish, and not very romantic. J Is perfect, attractive, attentive, romantic, and so in love but for some reason I'm just not happy. I get scared when I think about breaking up with him and just figuring things out partially because I haven't been alone in years, but also because I'm terrified of breaking up with J only to find myself longing for him the way I do for C.
Please help. I'm so confused about why I can't let this past ex go. We have been apart longer then we dated, and my current relationship has always been 10 times better. Is this a "want what you can't have" issue?
– I left him, but I can't leave him, Vancouver
A: You sound quite thoughtful and mature, ILHBICLH, but you're still 19. You can't change your place in life just because you're self-aware.
Your last relationship haunts you because it was your first. C was older and larger than life. He always will be.
As for J, he's just too much right now. He's so serious -- and you just want to be 19. I understand that you're afraid of being alone, but you don't have much of a choice. You're not ready for this. J deserves to know.
Timing is important, especially at your age. Based on what you've told us, I just don't think that you'll be confident about any relationship until you've spent some time by yourself.
One of the lessons here is that it's pretty normal to mourn the loss of a relationship. You might be miserable and sad about a breakup, but it doesn't mean that you want the person back. It just means that you don't take things lightly. That's a good thing.
If you break up with J (and you will, right?), you will miss him and doubt your decision. You will mourn, for sure. And that's OK. You'll read this letter and remember why you're learning to be on your own.
You know what you have to do about J. Your obsession with C isn't really about C. C represents an out. You want an out. That's all you need to know.
Readers? Is this about her age? If she drops J, how can she avoid going back to C? Does she have to be single for a while? Why is she thinking about C? And will she regret dropping J? Help.

Junior Seau had brain disease
Friday, January 11, 2013
Junior Seau, one of the NFL's best and fiercest players for nearly two decades, had a degenerative brain disease when he committed suicide last May, the National Institutes of Health told The Associated Press on Thursday.

Looks Great!
Looks like you guy's are having a blast. I sent the link to Karen's email address and I'm getting ready to call her and let her know. I wish I worked for AT&T so I could spend more time looking at this trip. Keep safe and be careful in East St. Louis! We'll make a point to be the site nightly.
July 8th - The second Day....KRP in Cincinnati
Loading Map
Our first main stop was for breakfast and we decided to honor our friend Chris Cutlip by stopping in Athens, OH - home of Ohio University. The last time I was there was during our college days, and, well, needless to say it was not the healthiest of times as far as the liver and chemicals went......but I digress
Breakfast was enjoyed at the Cross Street Diner in downtown Athens. We had a brief tour through town and got back onto 50 to continue on towards Cincinnati. Heather came through with some great video shots - the last one from Indian Hill Road which is only 5-10 miles from where Kurt lives. If this stretch of road doesn't force you into a motorcycle purchase, I do not know what will....
Kurt and Jen (and Della and Sampson) played hosts for our stay in Cinci - we had an ungodly amount of ribs for dinner followed by more ribs and other delicious sides (Mac & cheese, etc.). And, as you know, when in the company of pure genius (Kurt Bonigut), you need only to sit back and listen to his vision. This normally includes bouts of pure psychosis, rage, peace, and, eventually, focused chaos. We were not disappointed. I was able to take both Kurt and Jen for quick ride on the bike. I have a weight and height limit for a rider now - it is 265 lbs and 7'-18". Too much man for the back of the bike, although I think I got my front wheel off the ground shifting from first to second with Kurt on the back.
We are onto St. Louis in the morning.....
Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures & Videos

Okay Love the way these jeans fit and look, but 2 of the buttons have already broke loose. The front button actually broke off, and the right hand side back pocket popped out. Found one of them laying in my car seat. T. Only wore them a few times and have never had this happen to any other jeans. Still really like them just have to wear a belt so they don't fall off. June 18, 2014
Button So the front button popped off within the first couple wears and I can't get it to stay on. But it does pop back on. I wear a belt so it's not that big of a deal just kind of annoying since these were not cheap pants. They look good though and were the correct size. March 8, 2014

DarkFall Overview
Darkfall Online takes a different approach than most MMORPGs. This title features a very nonlinear style that gives the player an enormous amount of freedom in all aspects of the game. Darkfall characters can be developed and improved to an enormous extent, and this is largely the goal of the game. Politics, clans, group work, and of course PvE all have their place in the game; but PvP is what Darkfall Online is all about. There is a large selection of features that stand out in Darkfall, but three prominent themes show through.
Freedom: There are no classes in Darkfall. Every character has the same potential as any other, and it is up to the player to train any desired skills to become more powerful. This design gives players total control over what they do. Some may desire to excel in combat, while others may favor crafting or gathering. Players are completely in control of their character and can even attack other players that see them as a friendly target; Darkfall truly lets you play the MMO any way you would like.
Politics: Teamwork and clans play an enormous role in this MMO. With such freedom available to players it is often necessary to travel with friends. Knowing who you can trust and who you can't is an important skill in Darkfall. This makes joining a clan borderline mandatory later in the game. The powerful clans in Darkfall control cities, trade routes, and raw materials. These benefits make clan membership, business, and alliances a big part of Darkfall Online.
Risk: Aside from an allotted 24hours of 'Newbie Protection', just about everything a player does in Darkfall comes with a risk. If you decide to go fishing, you're leaving yourself vulnerable to attack from other players. If you summon a mount and get off, another player can take it. Even while traveling from place to place, your character is constantly in danger. The trump card is that when killed, a character drops all equipped items and inventory in a pile free to be taken by anybody nearby.
Freedom, risk, and politics give Darkfall the perfect atmosphere for the most important part of the game, Player vs. Player combat. There may be some quests, storytelling, and monsters to kill in Darkfall, but they are just there to help prepare characters for PvP. Darkfall Online is the perfect MMO for players looking for total freedom and brutal PvP.

DarkFall Review
By, Kenneth Bodzak
Darkfall is a brutal MMO in which PvP is King. Developed by Aventurine, the game is very open and puts the player in supreme control of their character. Players can attack enemies, attack friends, raid cities, and take advantage of multiple vehicles. Even better, every player can do everything; it is a classless MMO and every character has the capacity to be good at every skill. While this can make Darkfall Online seem like the perfect open-world PvP MMO on paper, in reality it does have a few weaknesses.
Starting Out Cold
Stepping foot into a new MMO for the first time is sometimes difficult, but Darkfall Online is especially harsh on beginners. The game is remarkably complex and has a lot of features that players have to figure out on their own. The Interface is far from state of the art and the help files aren't very accommodating, making starting out an unpleasant experience. Most modern MMORPGs do quite a bit to "ease" players into their games, but Darkfall seems to throw players into its world without any real direction. Players are left to fend for themselves and figure things out on their own – which is actually a rewarding experience for those patient enough.
The game doesn't completely leave players in the dark, as there are numerous player-posted guides on character development. These 3rd party sources of information and help are priceless and worth the time spent reading them. These guides make getting a feel for the game infinitely easier. Despite the lack of direction, Darkfall Online does a great job placing the player in huge playable world with a very realistic feeling. New characters are set loose right away and are on their own to learn the ropes. New players are given 24 hours of 'Newbie Protection', without this starting a character would be extremely unnerving. Even with the guides on the game's official forum, I can safely say the learning curve for Darkfall Online is incredibly steep.
It doesn't take long to notice that Darkfall is just about as hardcore as MMORPGs come. Gathering is tedious, combat is intense, and players can be killed anywhere. Starting quests are relatively few and far between, but there are enough to keep you going and get you into the mood. One reason I say Darkfall is "Hardcore" because its one of the only truly "Sandbox" MMORPGs out there. The game won't tell you where to go or what to do. Players have to decide that on their own. Players have their 24 hour protection to become accustomed to the gameplay. Afterwards, they need to catch on quick to avoid being attacked, killed, and looted by another player.
Absolute Freedom
Darkfall Online smothers its playerbase with choices. The game breaks away from the largely standard concept of classes and 'set professions' found in most MMORPGs, and allows each character to have access to all skills, professions, and armor in the game. It is also worth noting that only one character is permitted per account. With a classless design, each character is essentially a 'Jack of all trades'. While this is an interesting concept and certainly provides an enormous amount of personalization to each character, it also forces competitive players to level up each and every skill to be successful. While this seems fitting, the big picture is that 'endgame' every character ends up similar, because the game has no skill cap. It is worth mentioning though, maxing out all skills can take many months of hardcore grinding.
On top of the classless design, professions and crafting also play a huge role in Darkfall. Gathering resources is just as it is in most MMOs, tedious yet rewarding. Gathered materials can then be combined and crafted into items, food, and armor with other skills. Every character is free to experiment with the game's crafting system and the more a player crafts, the higher their crafting skills will reach.
All Skills in Darkfall are developed through their use. You level up your swordsmanship by using swords in battle, and your magic by casting spells. The enemies you face are largely irrelevant to skill gain; it is the actual use of the skill that matters. This is again a very interesting system, but it's one that's identical to the skill system in Ultima Online.
To tie everything together, Darkfall Online boasts a huge world rich with caves, dungeons, cities, ruins, and waters. There is far too much area to cover by foot, so mounts and boats are available to assist players in both transportation and combat. The virtual world plays a huge role in Darkfall because the game has no targeting system. If you lose track of your enemy, it's your responsibility to find him. This makes knowing the terrain crucial in PvP, and PvP is what Darkfall is all about.
Risky Business
Darkfall's heart lies in the PvP combat, which isn't exactly a surprise. After all, the game marketed itself as a spiritual successor to Ultima Online. Once a character's newbie protection is lost, that player is fair game for anybody else. Meaning they can attack or be attacked by ANYONE else ANYWHERE in the game. This includes players from the same race, faction, and group. When killed, a player drops all his armor and inventory and is spawned at their chosen clanstone. By the time players return to recover their corpse, it's often times too late, as their items have already been looted by their aggressor or passerby. The brutal open world PvP in Darkfall Online makes PvP in games like World of Warcraft and Warhammer Online look like a round of Candyland.
Risks like these make Darkfall a wonderfully exciting game for some, and absolutely bothersome for others. Simply traveling between towns puts you at risk of attack and the loss of your equipment. The only way to preserve equipment and items is to store them in your character's bank, as you can only lose items that your character is carrying. To make matters worse, it is extremely hard to catch up to well developed characters due to the grinding nature of the leveling system. To overcome this, adventurers in Darkfall Online must take advantage of strength in numbers.
Politics, Politics, Politics
So where does this lead? Teamwork. Survival in Darkfall depends largely on who you know. Joining a clan is borderline mandatory and traveling in numbers beats traveling alone in almost all cases. Clans can take control of cities, wage war, and even stockpile resources. It can actually be fair to say that you're only as strong as the clan you have backing you up. This isn't exactly a bad thing, as Clans in Darkfall can be extremely powerful and war between them can be a lot of fun.
The larger clans collect taxes from their cities, siege enemies, and bail out allies. They horde materials and often have monopolies on rare reagents in the game, which forces individual crafters to make deals with clans who control vital resources. This brings some focus away from actual combat and places it on business. Later in the game it is important for players to maintain strong relations with those in power for both protection and to allow themselves access to important resources.
A nice political touch can give a game a good deal of depth, but can also hurt it in the long run. Large scale warfare, naval battles, and sieges can be incredible experiences and provide lasting memories, but players who prefer to go it alone may find like difficult in the world of Darkfall. A strong character can fend for itself very well and even devastate a group of unsuspecting travelers, but a little backup can go a long way in Darkfall.
Final Verdict: Great
Darkfall Online delivers breathtaking freedom and ruthless player vs. player combat at the cost of convenience. The game is very unforgiving, tough on beginners, and requires some serious dedication to excel at. Strength in numbers holds true in Darkfall, and makes teaming up the way to go. Pleasing visuals, outstanding gameplay, and a whole new world of depth make Darkfall Online a great MMORPG and one that's not for the faint of heart.

10/1/13 Amanda Bynes in Rehab
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Tuesday, October 1, 2013
In a new HBO documentary, ALEC BALDWIN rips into UMA THURMAN'S boyfriend ARPAD BUSSON for saying he's more of a TV star than a movie star. Baldwin says, quote, "He reminds me of a B-level villain in a Bond film . . . He's a pockmarked toady who hops from yacht to yacht and bed to bed."
JUSTIN BIEBER is in China right now. He seems to be having a pretty good time . . . but his bodyguards? Not so much. Pictures have emerged of Justin being CARRIED up the Great Wall of China on the shoulders of two bodyguards. There are also pics of Justin skateboarding . . . with his bodyguards running to keep up with him.
Amanda Bynes left the hospital in Los Angeles where she was being treated for mental illness and checked into a luxurious rehab facility in Malibu. Sources say Amanda was transferred from the UCLA Medical Center to The Canyon three weeks ago. Bynes' parents say the move was recommended by the doctors at UCLA Medical Center. Amanda's parents say their daughter is making great strides towards getting better.
9/30/13 Miley Loves Weed & "Molly"
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Monday, September 30, 2013
KATE UPTON and MAKSIM CHMERKOVSKIY still haven't confirmed they're dating . . . but it seemed to be official the other day when they were photographed HOLDING HANDS in New York City. He's 33 . . . she's 21.
MICHAEL J. FOX claims that even if he could change his Parkinson's diagnosis, he probably WOULDN'T. He tells "Rolling Stone", quote, "I wouldn't have gone through what I've gone through and I wouldn't have had the experience I've had, and I can still do my [stuff]. At the end of the day, I can still do a show. So what have I lost?"
In new outtakes from her "Rolling Stone" interview, MILEY CYRUS calls pot "the best drug on Earth." She also professes her love for "molly" . . . which is basically Ecstasy. But she HATES cocaine, which she calls, quote, "so gross and so dark."
Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom spent their fourth wedding anniversary apart and Khloe celebrated by dropping his last name on her Twitter account. Khloe was spotted working out on her anniversary then spent time with friends but not her husband. Sources say Lamar offered Khloe an overnight stay in Santa Barbara and a gift worth well over $100,000 but she apparently turned him down.
9/27/13 Oprah Puts Smack on LiLo
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Friday, September 27, 2013
KANYE WEST went off on JIMMY KIMMEL on Twitter yesterday, after Kimmel made fun of Kanye on Wednesday's show. Kanye said stuff like, "Jimmy Kimmel is out of line to try and spoof in any way the first piece of honest media in years", and "Sarah Silverman is a thousand times funnier than you and the whole world knows it!!!"
The speculation about what LAMAR ODOM is doing and where he's doing it is getting EXHAUSTING. But here's the latest: Rumor has it he was holed up for several days in a private house in a gated community 100 miles from Los Angeles . . . partying and smoking crack with TWO WOMEN. Although apparently, he was only being "intimate" with one of them. He was also really paranoid about getting caught, so he used a phone app that deletes texts he sends to other people as soon as they're read. It also notifies him if someone tries to screenshot a text he sends them.
LINDSAY LOHAN is working on a reality show for OPRAH WINFREY'S OWN channel . . . but it sounds like she was up to her old tricks. Until Oprah brought the hammer down. At the beginning of the project, Lindsay was being difficult . . . no-showing, being a diva and that kind of thing. So Oprah went to see her at her mom DINA'S house on Long Island, and she got a bunch of excuses. But Oprah wasn't having it. She told Lindsay to shape up or she could kiss her $2 MILLION paycheck goodbye. That was about a month ago, and things have been running smoothly ever since.
In a recent interview, Gwyneth Paltrow dished that neither infidelity-- or sex addiction-- would be deal-breakers for her in a relationship. Paltrow said, quote, "I'm an extremely open-minded person, so I think if it was something I knew I was getting myself into, I wouldn't let it deter me from exploring the relationship."
9/26/13 Melissa Joan Hart New Tell-All
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Thursday, September 26, 2013
Just so you know, there are reports that ROBERT PATTINSON is seeing 22-year-old Dylan Penn . . . the daughter of SEAN PENN and ROBIN WRIGHT. But there are also reports that Rob is dating his personal trainer.
MADONNA and SEAN PENN reunited Tuesday in New York City, at the premiere of her "Secret Project Revolution" . . . a short movie about protecting freedom of expression. They even took a picture together. So-called "sources" say their chemistry was, quote, "off the charts."
The "New York Post" says that RICHARD GERE and actress Carey Lowell are getting divorced after 11 years of marriage. They haven't been photographed together since last year, and a so-called "source" says they've been, quote, "spending time apart for quite some time." He's 64, she's 52, and they have a 13-year-old son with the unfortunate name Homer James Jigme Gere.
This sounds like an awesome way to keep the passion alive in a marriage: The "Star" tabloid claims that BLAKE LIVELY and RYAN REYNOLDS rent motel rooms by the hour just to GET IT ON. A source says, quote, "They maintain their intense chemistry by engaging in role play, secret romps in 'rent by the hour' motels and naked yoga at home."
MICHAEL LOHAN'S 18-year-old love child ASHLEY HORN got $25,000 worth of plastic surgery to look like her half-sister LINDSAY. She says, quote, "My goal was to look like Lindsay in her good days, when she was around 18, 19 years old . . . . I'm hotter than Lindsay! I have no problem saying that."
In a new tell-all book coming out next month, MELISSA JOAN HART talks about taking Ecstasy at the Playboy Mansion and making out with a girl . . . makeout sessions with JERRY O'CONNELL and NICK CARTER . . . turning down cocaine from PARIS HILTON . . . and not getting along with ASHTON KUTCHER.
9/25/13 Miley's Rolling Stone Interview
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Wednesday, September 25, 2013
In an interview with "Rolling Stone", MILEY CYRUS claims she wasn't trying to be sexy at the "VMAs" . . . quote, "If I was trying to be sexy, I could have been sexy. I can dance a lot better than I was dancing." She also says there's a double-standard because ROBIN THICKE didn't get criticized as much as she did for it.
To celebrate her first "Rolling Stone" cover story, MILEY CYRUS took the reporter to a tattoo parlor, where she got the word "Rolling" tattooed on the bottom of her right foot, and "$tone" tattooed on the bottom of her left. But she used a dollar sign instead of an "s".
SIMON COWELL says he'll be involved in his child's life . . . but his involvement will NOT start in the delivery room. On RYAN SEACREST'S radio show yesterday he said, quote, "I know this sounds awful, but it's like you don't want to go in to the restaurant while they're making your dinner. There are certain things you shouldn't see and that is one of them." Ryan's co-host asked if Simon would marry the baby's mother, LAUREN SILVERMAN. He said, quote, "Let's put it this way, I wouldn't expect her to be a single mother."
LAMAR ODOM'S father JOE blames the Kardashians for his son's downfall. He says if he hadn't married KHLOE, he'd still be one of the top players in the NBA. After he heard this, Lamar ripped into his dad, saying he was never there for him and calling the Kardashians, quote, "The ONLY ones that have been here consistently for me during this dark time."

Still confused. (but not cornfused, as that's different, and slightly painful, as well as unsightly.) Need more pasta.

It's a parody of Amen of course, with raman being a type of pasta.

|Approximation by multiple refinable functions
We consider the shift-invariant space, $\bbbs(\Phi)$, generated by a set $\Phi=\{\phi_1,\ldots,\phi_r\}$ of compactly supported distributions on $\RR$ when the vector of distributions $\phi:=(\phi_1,\ldots,\phi_r)^T$ satisfies a system of refinement equations expressed in matrix form as $$ \phi=\sum_{\alpha\in\ZZ}a(\alpha)\phi(2\,\cdot - \,\alpha) $$ where $a$ is a finitely supported sequence of $r\times r$ matrices of complex numbers. Such {\it multiple refinable functions} occur naturally in the study of multiple wavelets. The purpose of the present paper is to characterize the {\it accuracy} of $\Phi$, the order of the polynomial space contained in $\bbbs(\Phi)$, strictly in terms of the refinement mask $a$. The accuracy determines the $L_p$-approximation order of $\bbbs(\Phi)$ when the functions in $\Phi$ belong to $L_p(\RR)$ (see Jia~[10]). The characterization is achieved in terms of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the subdivision operator associated with the mask $a$. In particular, they extend and improve the results of Heil, Strang and Strela~[7], and of Plonka~[16]. In addition, a counterexample is given to the statement of Strang and Strela~[20] that the eigenvalues of the subdivision operator determine the accuracy. The results do not require the linear independence of the shifts of $\phi$.

And on a completely unrelated but related point, what is Kool Aid, and is there a british equivalent?
So... what do you think?
I do not think, I drink. Beer - feelings like in heaven.Capn Tayth wrote:What do you think...

Wow, you must have one heck of a cholesterol.
