Marni is as chic as it gets. Launched in 1994 by designer Consuelo Castiglioni, this Milan-based label started out as a collection of outré, fur-trimmed outerwear and quickly expanded into a full fashion line featuring perfectly tailored clothing, chunky-heeled shoes, retro eyewear, acrylic resin costume jewelry, and luxe handbags. Marni loves to experiment with asymmetrical shapes and prints of all kinds — from stencils and feminine floral patterns to bold geometric designs — but also excels at understated basics such as crepe pencil skirts and little black dresses. In 2002 Marni added a menswear line, which mimics the minimalist approach that has endeared Castiglioni's clothes to female fashion cognoscenti for years. In 2012 the label created a popular collection for H&M that — to no one's surprise — sold out within hours of appearing on the racks.
Cover up this season with the chic, streetwise style.
Hit the town in sleek, attention-grabbing heels.
Look your best 24/7 with effortless staples for work, weekend, and beyond.
When it comes to wardrobe staples for children, cozy sweaters are at the top of the list in the snowy season. And fashionable kids are in luck with this selection of knits, as it offers sweaters, dresses, hats, scarves, and pants that combine equal parts warmth and of-the-moment design.

Raspberry Pi Synthesizer (Sneak Preview)
An experimental project is in the works for students learning the basics of computer science, with real implications for the electronic music making world. A small 700 MHz processor powers a tiny computer – charmingly named the "Raspberry Pi". So far, one developer has used it to create the "Pi Synth" which allows users to manipulate the outputted sound of a single-oscillator synth frequency by playing only with the pitch, phase, and cycling properties. The Raspberry Pi was designed to be experimented with and adapted and we hope to see other uses of it available soon.

TRIPP LITE 5-15/20R 16 Outlet 20 A 100 - 127 V Metered Power Distribution Unit provides a redundant power option for single-corded network devices. The dual input cords support separate connection to PRIMARY and SECONDARY power sources. The ATS will normally maintain continuous output to all outlets as derived from the primary input cable. If the primary power source becomes unstable or fails altogether, the ATS will switch over to the secondary power source until the primary input is restored and stable. Super-fast switchover between primary and secondary power sources occurs within milliseconds. ATS functionality is supported by any two compatible AC power sources, regardless of phase angle, to support a variety of advanced redundant power networking applications. It enables fault tolerant hot-swappable UPS protection when used with a single UPS and fully redundant UPS protection when each cord is connected to a separate UPS system. In a two-UPS environment, the primary input cable must be supported by a full time sine wave UPS with zero transfer time. Tripp Lite SmartOnline series is highly recommended for use as the primary UPS in a two-UPS application. The ATS configurations utilizing separate mains circuits, backup generators and even separate utility power grid feeds are fully supported. On-board ATS processor constantly evaluates power quality on both input sources to prevent transfer to the secondary source when unavailable or of lower quality than the primary source. The front input LED's display primary or secondary power availability.

I have been on the BTH Board for a little more than 3 years now. In addition I am serving as Treasurer (3rd term) Very interesting and challenging experience.
Of course our main focus is on financials and the continuing stability of the agency. Given the current economic crisis, this issue is a long on-going discussion which commands most of our efforts.
It has been my good fortune to be able to work with fellow Board members who are both focused and dedicated to helping BTH grow. BTH staff has also been very inovative and hard working. Have much enjoyed the action and challenge.

This study was undertaken to determine if use of stratified organic layers of intact litter, fragmented litter, and humus on the forest floor (LFH) improves establishment of upland native boreal plant species during oil sands reclamation in Alberta, Canada. The abundance and composition of vascular plant species in the soil propagule bank were determined for LFH and peat materials before salvage from donor sites and 18 months after application on the receiver site. Applications of 10 and 20 cm were evaluated. Various soil properties were assessed to determine impacts of donor materials. In the growth chamber, LFH donor material had significantly more plant species emerge (37) from the propagule bank than did peat donor material (19). In the field, LFH treatments had significantly higher species richness (49, 47, 24, and 25 species for LFH 10 cm, LFH 20 cm, peat 10 cm, and peat 20 cm treatments, respectively), plant abundance, and soil nutrients than peat treatments. Application thickness of peat had little effect, but 20 cm of LFH was more beneficial for plant community establishment than 10 cm. LFH treatments had narrower C:N ratios and higher soluble potassium and available phosphorus than peat. Applying 10 versus 20 cm of donor material increased admixing of fine-textured subsoil, reducing organic carbon, nitrogen, and potassium; these effects were greater for LFH than peat treatments. Thus, addition of LFH aids in creating diverse ecosystems on reclaimed upland landscapes by providing a source of propagules for revegetating upland boreal forest communities and improving nutrient availability for plants.

Put left side muffler support on my 79 FLH, no major problems. The worst part was, I don't have a motorcycle lift, so I had to lay on the ground to do it. Anyway, it fit.

Great replacement part!!
bgboettch Posted:
I like parts that fit...especially parts I can pop on quickly because they fit well. This muffler bracket did not fit my '83 FLH well. I had a heck of a time because the part's bends are markedly different then the OEM piece. The replacement part also had significant weld-material nipples that had been ground down flat on the OEM, and did not have the frame spacer welded on the OEM part. Once we ground things down, added a spacer, and otherwise sorted it out, the bracket went together well enough.

If you have confirmation of your hotel booking in your Gmail, Google Search will now help you discover stuff in the area. Open Google Now and try out "directions to my hotel" or "restaurants near my hotel."
Commandr, the clever app that lets you toggle various settings of your Android phone through Google Now, has received an update that makes it much easier to use.
A new Google Search voice command makes it easy to fix words that are incorrectly misunderstood. It's as simple as saying "Ok Google: no, I said ___".
Google Now lets you change the name of a location card. Previously, you could only change the name of the two default locations, Home and Work.
Commandr is an application that makes Google Now infinitely more useful than it was before by expanding its voice command capability. Check out our review!
Developer Ryan Senanayake (RSen), of OpenMic+ fame, found a way to bring hardware features support to Google Now via his new app Commandr.
Google has made a small change to multi-city weather cards in Google Now, so they now display the day's highs and lows, alongside the current temperature.
If you can't wait to use voice commands from anywhere in the phone, there's a relatively simple way to activate it manually, courtesy of Adam Lawrence.
Bugs found in late testing prompted the Search team to delay multi-language support in Google Now for later this summer.

My sky-dive will take me close to David in heaven
Last updated at 20:23, Thursday, 26 April 2012
A West Cumbrian mum, who said that the two years since her son died were the most devastating of her life, will do a charity sky-dive in his memory.
Joanne Foster, 37, of Stoney Croft, Great Clifton, lost 15-year-old son David on July 22, 2010, after he suffered a fatal asthma attack.
Mrs Foster said: "I'm doing the skydive because it will bring me as close to heaven as I can be at the moment and I will feel closer to David.
"It has been a struggle every day since we lost him. He was adored by all the family and very much the centre of our worlds.
"It has been the most devastating two years but I want to do this to remember him. I am scared because I've never done a skydive before but I'm determined to do it for him.
"This year has been even harder in the run-up to the Olympics because David's dream was to compete in the Olympic Games when he was old enough.
"It's just heartbreaking that he never got the chance."
He had gone camping with three friends and petrol they had used to light a camp fire leaked into the tent during the night, which caused the asthma attack.
David, a pupil at Stainburn School, was a keen athlete competing in the javelin at a county level.
The 17,000ft tandem skydive will take place at Cark Airfield, Flookburgh, on July 15 to raise money for Eden Valley Hospice.
The family will also host, a stall at an open day at The Cumberland Lodge on May 6 to raise money for the hospice, and David's work colleagues Warwick Muir, Jason Roper, Adam Bode and Thomas Mitchell, from Oily's pub, in Winscales, Workington, will also have their legs waxed.
Mrs Foster and her husband Ken, 36, daughter Abigail, four, and friend Laura Pearson, 26, raised nearly £5,000 for the hospice from a Coast to Coast bike ride from Whitehaven to Sunderland last year.
Mrs Foster added: "We originally wanted to raise money for a local asthma charity but there were none in the area and we wanted the money to stay local so we chose the hospice.
"David was always determined and nothing ever scared him. He definitely would've been proud of me doing this, he was such a loveable lad and always so honest, a little cheeky, but everyone who knew him loved him."

NURSERY CARE is provided from 8:15 am to 12:15 pm for infants through 3 year olds. Miss Pat and Miss Angie are our professional caregivers. Children can be dropped off in the Nursery, located at the east end of the first floor of the Education Wing. We ask that only parents drop off their children before worship.
GODLY PLAY is offered from 11:20 am to 12:00 pm, for children age 4 to 3rd grade. Children are dismissed to Godly Play immediately after the Time with the Children. Godly Play provides age appropriate worship for children, which helps them deepen their understanding of God through storytelling, hands-on activities, and prayer. Our acolytes will escort children to Godly Play.
At the 8:30am and 11:00am services, we ask children who are in 4th grade and above to remain in the sanctuary to participate in worship.
Children in Church School
Church School is offered between our two services of worship from 9:45am to 10:45 am for children age 3 to 5th grade. Church school takes place in the Education Wing, and is led by members and parents, serving our children and their families in this vital ministry. We have three classes: Preschool meets downstairs in Rm 4, Kindergarten-2nd grade meet upstairs in Rm 3, and 3rd-5th grade meet upstairs in Rm. 2.

by Cohen, Leonard
Publisher:Jonathan Cape Ltd
Leonard Cohen's fame as a songwriter and poet has long eclipsed his reputation as a novelist. He abandoned fiction after only two novels--1963's The Favourite Game and 1966's Beautiful Losers--but these were enough to reveal Cohen as a deft and vivid storyteller, equally comfortable with poetry and prose. Their frank sexuality and unapologetic social satire made them controversial (and wildly popular) on their first publication, but they are easily as substantial as any of Cohen's collections of verse.
Like so many first novels, The Favourite Game is semi-autobiographical, a coming-of-age novel that tells the story of Lawrence Breavman, a Montreal Jewish boy who matures into a promising poet. In order to create his art, Breavman feels compelled to live destructively, divesting himself of his lovers, friends, and family, keeping them only in his memory and his writing. Cohen moves carefully between cruelty and sentimentality, and none of his characters--including Breavman himself--escape his satiric venom.
Though unmistakably a poet's novel, The Favourite Game does not include the experimentation or unrestrained lyricism of Beautiful Losers. Instead, in a remarkably compressed story, Cohen is able to render powerful narrative episodes in the space of a couple of pages or skewer a character in a single sentence. This lends Cohen's narrative voice a slightly disengaged feel, letting the novel maintain a tense atmosphere of ironic intimacy--the passions it presents are tangible, but they are forever unreachable, held tightly in Breavman's memory and Cohen's art. --Jack Illingworth

When you think about airports, you think about the stress of arriving hours before your flight; the stress of getting fondled and interrogated by TSA; the stress of making it to your gate before your flight leaves despite arriving at the airport hours ago. And if you're afraid of flying, there's that, too. Airports are not a peaceful place. At least, they aren't from our point of view, here on the ground. But when you look down at airports from satellite images, they don't seem so bad. Just expanses of runways and some cute little planes. Even the world's busiest airports, like Heathrow and JFK, look serene. For more of these calming airport images, check out Holding Pattern. Just don't let these pictures fool you, airports are still awful.

French photographer Eugene Atget was well known for his photos documenting early 1900s Paris. His antiquated technique, requiring long exposure times, meant Atget would work in the early morning hours, before any pedestrian traffic. The resulting photos show Paris devoid of any people. In 1964, photographer Duane Michaels sought to recreate Atget's empty city in New York. Michaels wandered the city in the early morning and captured New York like it had never been seen before. For more of Duane Michaels' work, check out DC Moore Gallery.

Dubai has it's fair share of surreal accommodations, unheard of luxury and a police squadron of super-cars, so why not? Why not work on plans for a city completely separated from the conditions of the outside world? Why not take 48 million square-feet and turn it into a mini metropolis? It's called the Mall the of the World, and it will be the world's first city-sized enclosure allowing it's residents to nearly avoid outside conditions completely. The point is to give people the ability to experience normal city life inside the controlled environment for weeks on end. With Dubai's summer temperature averaging 104 degrees (F) the city will be looked at as the premiere destination for travel or even seasonal business. Their winter temperatures reach around 72 degrees (F), during those months the promenade would open it's roofs allowing cooler temperatures to flow through the city streets. The full monty will include over 100 hotels & serviced apartment buildings, including over 20,000 hotel rooms, the largest theme park in the world and the largest mall in the world, at over 8 million square-feet.

According to Hemingway, a man's diet should consist of ham, sausage, sauerkraut, and beer. In other words, Hemingway thinks men should follow the diet of a German soldier. But what dishes scream manliness like bacon and eggs or simply a pint of scotch, neat. Here, we're trying to tackle the manliest meals from around the world. We're not looking for heart-attack burgers or twenty-three pounds of pork. Instead, we're giving you hearty, traditional dishes fit for the men at the navy yard. Schweinshaxe, Germany: More specifically, pork knuckle. Juicy and crackly, the Germans serve this platter atop a few pounds of Knödel (potato dumplings), sauerkraut, or red cabbage. Up the Mante: Cleanse your palate with a liter of Augustiner, which is basically another meal in itself. Black Pudding, United Kingdom: Not pudding in any American sense, black pudding is actually sausage encased with pork blood and oatmeal. Up the Mante: Order with a battered and fried with a traditional English, served with massive slabs of bacon — not like our thin, overly crisp version — fried eggs, more sausage, and, of course, a cup of tea.

Last fall, we shared photos of the construction of Verruckt, the world's tallest waterslide at Kansas City's Schlitterbahn water park. Originally slated to open in May, here we are in July and sadly the slide is still not open to the public. However, the folks at Schlitterbahn have given us hope with these two recent videos. The first is a POV video of a test run with only sand bags in the raft while the second video is a manned test run with waterpark designer Jeff Henry and ride engineer John Schooley in the raft. Now let's just hope they open it up to the public soon!

Everyone is aware of Virgin Galactic's space voyages that are set to begin commercial service soon and it would be awesome if we could all go, however not everyone who's not a celebrity or billionaire adventurer can afford the $250,000 ticket. What many people don't know is that another company, World View, will be offering tours into space via a luxury balloon for the low, low price of just $75,000. Relatively speaking, that's not too bad! A joint venture from Arizona's Paragon Space Development Corporation and British studio Priestmangoode, who designed cabins for Virgin Airlines, World View will take passengers 100,000 feet above the Earth's surface. The capsule is carried up via large balloon, reaching the 100,000 feet mark in about 90 minutes. The capsule will then float around for a few hours before returning to terra firma. Inside the luxury capsule will be a bar, snack area, and a bathroom and plenty of viewing areas. Reserve your seat with a $5,000 deposit at World View.

High-Definition is extremely impressive…if you're living in the early 2000s. But here in the mid-2010s, 1080p no longer cuts it. The 2160p resolution of 4k ultra high-definition is what we need and we won't settle for any less. Photo Trekker realizes this and that's why they made this incredible time-lapse video of Las Vegas that looks more real than looking out the window. It took 5 days of shooting for this 92-second video, using 4 Canon 5D Mark III cameras. There's two more 4k time-lapse videos on the way from Photo Trekker, and if they're anything like this, we can't wait.

Born in New York in the 1940s, photographer Aaron Rose has spent more than 60 years exploring the city and capturing its citizens with his keen eye and had already produced more than 25,000 photos before the art world took notice of him in the 90s. Until a small selection of his work was shown at the Whitney Biennial in 1997, only friends and family were aware of Rose's talent. A current show at the Museum of the City of New York titled In A World of Their Own: Coney Island Photographs by Aaron Rose, 1961-1963 spotlights 70 photos Rose captured of the city's most famous beach.

Not too long ago we learned that kayaking AT&T Park's McCovey Cove is a great and inexpensive way to enjoy a ballgame with your friends. Being that the Giants are sitting near the top of the 2014 MLB power rank it's something you might want to do before the season is over. There are two ways to experience the game from the cove. First, you can rent a kayak from citykayak.com. They are located at Pier 40 only a five minute walk from the stadium. The kayaks are only $35. Keep in mind that you need to kayak from the Pier to the cove which takes about 10-15 minutes. The trip is by no means gruling and you don't need to be fit like the Winklevoss twins but being in decent shape is a plus. The other way would be to buy a four-person inflatable boat from any camping or sports equipment store. The price to buy, about $120-150, will be just about the same a renting a kayak and you can head into the water from shore of McCovey Cove which is less paddling than if you left from the pier.

The UK's National Air Traffic Services, or NATS, handles 2.2 million flights carrying 220 million passengers in UK airspace each year. NATS services 15 airports in the UK, including Heathrow, the busiest airport in Europe, and also services airports in 30 other countries around the world. This video shows the air traffic they control over a typical 24-hour period in the North Atlantic. Let's all take a moment to appreciate the hard-working air traffic controllers that deal with this so we can focus on worrying about what movie is shown and if the person sitting next to us is going to be taking off their shoes.

Two years ago, Smithsonian writer Alastair Bland hid bottles of beer and hard cider throughout southern France and invited readers to find them with just one request: leave a beer in its place for a future scavenger to find. Bland then expanded his "Find the Beer" game to the United States, hiding beers in California and the Pacific Northwest. Recently, he found himself back in southern France and decided to see what beers readers have left behind in his hiding spots. He also decided to hide some more around France.

When we were growing up, vacations meant little more than beaches and theme parks, with international travel thought to be a luxury only the wealthy could afford. But that is all changing thanks to millennials. 20% of international tourists, about 200 million people, are between the ages of 16 and 34. These young travelers generate $180 billion a year in tourism revenue, an increase of 30% since 2007. But to what do we owe this drastic change? What makes the millennial generation so driven to travel the world and what does it mean for the future?

From 1972 to 1977, the Environmental Protection Agency sponsored DOCUMERICA, a project set up to "photographically document subjects of environmental concern." Like the FSA photographers of the New Deal, many of the DOCUMERICA photographers interpreted this to be a broader "document America in all its forms" type of project. And its a good thing they did. World-renowned photographer Danny Lyon was one of the 70 DOCUMERICA photographers. Lyon documented inner-city life in El Paso, Galveston, Houston, Chicago, Brooklyn, and Patterson, New Jersey. His photos capture low-income and ethnic neighborhoods that would end up facing extinction, but not from environmental concerns. It would be in the name of "progress" that this way of life would eventually disappear. Brooklyn is New York City's fastest-growing borough and its gentrified neighborhoods are drawing more and more young professionals, but it wasn't always like that. In the 1970s, as neighborhoods continued to shift form Italian and Jewish to black and Puerto-Rican, racial tensions led to rising crime rates and an exodus of almost 500,000 residents, many of them white. Since big developers were wary of the area, Brooklyn became one of the most well-preserved 19th century cities in the country. Lyon recognized the beauty in more »

Photographer Walker Evans is best known for his portraits of Alabama sharecroppers that he captured for Fortune Magazine in 1936 while on leave from his job as Information Specialist with the Farm Security Administration, but a couple years later he began working on a very different series of portraits. In 1938, Evans began taking photos of everyday commuters in New York City subway cars. To capture his subjects naturally, Evans used a small camera painted flat black that he hung around his neck and hid under his coat. The shutter was rigged to a cable that ran down his sleeve into his hand. For 3 years, Evans used this method, without aid of a flash or viewfinder. The resulting portraits were published in 1966 in a book titled Many Are Called. Looking through these photos, we are presented with a subway that's alien to what we have today. Although we've come a long way from the filthy, dangerous subways of the 70s and 80s (which you can check out in this gallery!), you'll never see cars filled with people in hats and furs. Well, maybe on the L into Williamsburg, but that's a bit different.

Australian scientists are baffled at what happened to a tagged great white shark in Austrailian Waters. The great white, named "Shark Alpha" was a 9-foot healthy shark tagged in Australian waters. The surprising thing is 4 month after the shark was tagged and tracked the tag washed up onto shore 2.5 miles out from where it was attached. After retrieval, scientists found the tag revealed startling information. The device took a rapid plunge in depth descending 580 meters while making a drastic rise in temperature from 46 degrees F to 78 degrees f, where it stayed a constant for 8 days. The startling fact about that temperature is the only way the tag could've reached that temperature height would be if it was in the digestive system of another beast. Though the event might have been a territorial dispute with a much larger shark (16 feet), scientists believe the entire shark was eaten, although a less dramatic conclusion of a chunk bitten out of the shark is also a possibility. A documentary by the Smithsonian Channel reveals how confused scientists are by this strange discovery. Is there a megalodon swimming out there or is this just a PR stunt for more »

And sticking to McDonald's astounds even the greasiest Italian pizzerias. Even as recently as two years ago, Americans ranked themselves as the worst tourists. What kind of masochism is that? One of the biggest American offenses involve ignoring cultural customs and substituting our own—like fanny packs and jorts. To prevent American ignorance, we decided to list a few weird customs and laws from around the world. Break these and you'll probably be labeled a "silly American," if you already haven't been.

A surefire way to plan a great but reasonably-priced date is to create an experience. This way, the time you spend together will be filled up by an activity or entertainment that lasts for a while and keeps you from buying more cocktails or scrambling for options. The fact that you're putting in the effort to really plan a date (as opposed to "Oh, let's just meet at my neighborhood bar") will be impressive in and of itself. Not to mention, you will have fun if your date feels more like an outing and less like a job interview.

The Balkans country of Montenegro is a lake side country on the Adriatic Sea that borders Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina to the north, Serbia to the northeast, Kosovo to the east, and Albania to the south. After the Yugoslavia civil war in the 1990s, tourism basically flatlined, leaving the beautiful beaches and aging architecture unkempt. As a result a stabilized economic situation and a dramatic increase in tourism, historic hotels and roads are being renovated making Montenegro one of the highest rated tourism spots in the world at this point. It's Mediterranean climate, having dry summers and mild, rainy winters makes it a great destination for summer fun and ski worthy winters. All Image credit via: Shutterstock.com

Tianducheng, a gated community near Hangzhou, the capital of China's Zhejiang province, was constructed in 2007. The city, capable of accommodating more 10,000 residents, was built to simulate Paris, with 12 square miles of Parisian architecture, fountains, and even a 354 foot tall replica of the Eiffel Tower. However, not many mainland China residents can afford the luxurious setting, leaving many of the completed buildings abandoned yet eerily pristine. Only about 2000 people actually live in Tianducheng, most of which are working on the construction of a Paris theme park nearby. The city might not be for everyone, but if you love Paris but hate Parisians (and their high prices) Tianducheng might just be the vacation spot for you.

Africa in general is a rising tourist destination with one unsuspecting country topping the entire list.

DALLAS – Saturday morning at the Dallas Middle School natatorium brought a group of swimmers to the pool to practice technique, seek out advice and improve as swimmers thanks to some instruction from a man familiar with time spent in a pool.
While this kind of day sounds routine to most who have experienced a formal practice or two in their time, the man in charge of the pool was certainly a step away from the norm.
Running Saturday's sessions was Peter Vanderkaay, a three-time member of the U.S. Olympic Swim Team and a four-time Olympic medalist.
"It's been a good day, for sure," said Vanderkaay. "The young kids came in and did a good job of soaking up the information, even though it's a lot. I helped the older kids that came in fine tune the basics they already have down and the technical part of it all that will help them get better. And everybody's been having fun today, which makes it all worthwhile."
Throughout the day, swimmers had a chance to hop in the pool with Vanderkaay and practice the drills he was there to teach and even try them out against some experienced competition. At the end of the training, all were invited to take on Vanderkaay, lap for lap.
"When the kids got to race against him at the end of the practicing, especially the younger kids, they really enjoyed that," said Romayne Mosier, head coach of the Dallas Mountaineers' swim team, on hand for the day. "Though I have to admit, what's really exciting for me is seeing the way the older kids listened to him and accepted the techniques he's explaining to them and that you need them to work at. That's absolutely going to make some things better for the team when practice rolls around."
For the swimmers in attendance looking for lessons about an athlete coming from a humble start as a competitor who eventually became a champion, they definitely had a fine teacher.
"When I was younger the biggest thing for me was just to keep working at the sport," said Vanderkaay. "I knew that the hard work would come back to me and help set me apart. I quickly noticed that the amount of effort and focus I put in was directly related to the success I put out."
Vanderkayy began swimming at a young age and by his own admission was not a top competitor until later in high school. In his senior year of high school, he broke the Michigan state record in the 500-meter freestyle before moving on to swim for the Michigan Wolverines and eventually the national team.
While at Michigan, Vanderkaay earned his first gold medal as a member of the winning 800 freestyle relay team at the 2004 Olympics. From that point until the recent end of his competitive career, Vanderkaay added another gold medal in the same event to go with a bronze medal in the 200 freestyle at the 2008 games and a bronze in the 400 freestyle in the 2012 Olympics.
"I hope the kids on hand gather some inspiration from my story, that an everyday guy like myself can make it to the Olympics," said Vanderkaay. "I think it helps them to realize that everyone they see on TV started off in the sport of swimming the way they did. It helps to give them a perspective on working hard in the sport."

So, I'm in the process of quitting smoking and its been a bit of a struggle. I'm using Champix and I'm currently on day 6 of the program but I'm not really seeing any results. Anyone tried Champix before? It's giving me really fucked up ...
You're body is probably trying to adjust. 6 days seems like forever for the person when quitting smoking but honestly, for your body, it's not. Your body is pretty much gonna say "F U, I want my nicotine drug" for a while and fight you lol. Give it some more time (month minimum) and if it doesn't ease up try another method. There are actually some cool videos on the Internet for breathing exercises to help with the lungs too.

labeling in my sewing/craft room
In my craft room, I have five drawers. Two are the sterilite plastic kind from Target. Three are in a small wooden chest of drawers. I'd like to use the same kind of label on all five but what can I use that is not permanent? Stick-on kind would work for the plastic but not for the chest. Might the kinds of metal looking raised letters you use with scrapbooking work (I'm not a scrapbooker)?
I just don't want to damage the finish on the chest should I rearrange the drawers.
I think you run the risk of damaging the chest. However you may try using the tacky blue stuff. We used to hang posters on our walls with that stuff. Break a little piece of tacky off and it should hold your labels on and I don't think that'd mess up your chest. Then the labels could be the same...just stuck on differently.
Since it's my sewing/craft room, it can be a little funky right? The room's walls are neutral but teal is the accent throughouut. What if I found some of that tacky stuff in a fun color and pressed it - in some freeform shapes - into the fronts of each drawer. Then I could press letters indicating the contents on the front of the drawer. Wonder if the tacky stuff would dry out?
It may dry out on top but it would still be tacky umderneath. I stuck some on the corners of a painting frame 10 years ago to keep it from going crooked. It is still tacky and easy to roll off. However I was only using a bit of the stuff. I don't know what would happen if you use a lot.
I don't think it comes in funky colors. I've only seen it in blue or white.
I would check into scrapbooking supplies at the dollar store to use to make your labels and bristol board to glue your design on to. There are interesting frames letters and stick on's there. Then you could use juat a bit of the ticky-tacky to hold them on to the chest.
I just thought of a solution where you won't have to tape on the drawer front at all and would be colorful. Use a wide ribbon. Tape one end just over the lip of the drawer front on the inside of the drawer. Tape the other end just under the bottom lip. Then you can glue on letters or staple or pin on cards or mark with a permanent marker. Measure the ribbon and decide what you want to do. Do your glueing or pinning and especially use the permanent marker. Let everything dry and then tape it on
Post Its makes labels now.

The Reality of Long Term Unemployment
In his "Mission Accomplished" moment, Barack Hussein Obama ended his jobs council on Thursday, January 31, 2013.
Despite the fact that more than 12 million people in the U.S. are still out of work.
Obama's allies will point out that when the jobs council began two years ago, unemployment was above 9 percent and has since improved to 7.8 percent.: What they conveniently overlook is that the unemployment number has shifted downwards in large part due to people who have exceeded their unemployment benefits are no longer being counted.
So, if you are a middle aged worker who has experienced long term unemployment, you have forever lost what for most people were the peak earning years of life.: A time when under normal circumstances, the opportunity to save for retirement was most feasible financially.
Instead you were drawing unemployment benefits worth less than half what you used to make.: As the result, instead of saving for retirement, you reduced your expenditures (read: standard of living) by half.
Not to mention the loss of medical, vacation, 401k and other employer provided benefits.
Then to add insult to injury, the self-imagined, self-appointed "progressive" intellectual elite ruling class decide that the expiration of the unemployment benefits that sustained your Spartan existence means that for the purposes of their statistics, you are no longer out of work.
Even if you have honestly sought work for years and have been unsuccessful thanks to an economy crippled by their "progressive" economic policies, have used up all your personal savings and are a month or two away from living on the street.
The reality of long term unemployment is not being accurately portrayed by the Obama administration, their "progressive" political allies, or their devoted supporters within the institutionalized "progressive" left.
The economy is not growing.: Jobs are not being created.: If you are unemployed, prospects for future employment look bleak.
Their big government "stimulus" spending was devoted primarily to helping their "progressive" allies in blue states that needed the money to balance their own indebted balance sheets.
Every dollar spent on "stimulus" was obtained through a tax on the private sector.: Instead of the private sector having the money they earned to invest in growing business and creating jobs, it was sent to Washington DC, where the cost of an ever growing, bloated bureaucracy was first removed, then redistributed to those deemed fit by the same self-imagined, self-appointed "progressive" intellectual elite ruling class that has shown through their handling of the nation's unemployment statistics that they are far more concerned with retaining their own grip on power than truly helping the little guy.
If you have a job, thank God and pray to keep it.

I've made a few bad calls in my time, like when I told a client not to buy a place in the industrial, brewery-scented backwater that was soon to become the tony "Pearl District," but by far the most consequential was my misreading of how Americans would react to George W. Bush's launching the return of Frontier Justice. I know I wasn't alone, because even the long-suffering Laura visibly grimaced the first time he trotted out "Dead or Alive," but then something odd happened. We, the People, ate it up. With relish.

Jeffrey Toobin Preaches on Sanctity of Government Secrets Despite Once Stealing Classified Documents
|By: Kevin Gosztola Wednesday August 21, 2013 12:15 pm
Toobin's campaign against Snowden and in defense of the government's right to protect sensitive national security secrets is incredibly hypocritical, given his past history.
In journalist Michael Isikoff's book, Uncovering Clinton: A Reporter's Story, he described how Toobin was caught "having absconded with large loads of classified and grand-jury related documents from the office of Iran-Contra independent counsel Lawrence Walsh" in 1991:
Late Night: The Brotherhood of the Burning Pants
|By: cocktailhag Thursday June 13, 2013 8:00 pm
Lying has certainly come a long way in the new century. Those of us us born in the 1900′s can still remember a time when being caught publicly lying could bring down a President (Nixon), or at the very least, get one impeached (Clinton). In those sepia-toned days, lying was a content-neutral affront; Barry Goldwater was just as justifiably incensed at being lied to by Nixon as Al Gore was at being lied to by Clinton, despite the rather gigantic difference between the significance of their respective lies.
But something odd happened when George W. Bush entered office.

"Mm…! There you go again, Nii-san!" Sasuke scowled at his brother displeased. "Why is it so damn hard to believe?"
"… It's actually really simple, Sasuke."
"It's destiny."
"Destiny…" Sasuke huffed. "How's it destiny?" Itachi sighed and shook his head.
"… Every Uchiha has a bond with a Senju made by destiny. And whether the Uchiha likes it or not, the Senju is the seme." The younger raven was about to protest, but his brother cut him off. "Just look at Madara and Hashirama." Sasuke rolled his eyes.
"Maybe… but that doesn't mean it's the same between me and Naruto. Madara would have topped Tobirama, if they had been together in a certain kind of relationship." Itachi raised a sceptical eyebrow.
"Mm… maybe, but an Uchiha don't have more than one Senju bond to them. And besides; Madara and Tobirama hated each other, and not in that secret Senju/Uchiha-relationship way."
"Specifically, Madara had at least two reasons to hate the white-haired Senju. One: Tobirama was a Senju, but not Madara's destined Senju."
"And two: Tobirama touched Izuna, which is a direct way to Madara's hate list. No one touches Madara's baby brother without breaking something, but whether it's a leg or the neck is the question." Sasuke shivered at the thought, but shook it of easily, before he's was caught in the act.
"… So they didn't have anything going on behind the scenes?" The older of the two shook his head.
"No. It was Madara and Hashirama, and Tobirama with Izuna. Nothing else. So you can forget your little idea about you topping the Kyuubi-kid." Sasuke scowled.
"There you go again! Dammit! If I say I top him, then I top him!" Itachi shook his head. "Why is it so damn hard to understand?"
"… Because –"
"No, no, let me guess." Sasuke cut him of. "It's because you can't imagine your cute, innocent little brother being dominant. It simply doesn't make sense in your head even though I'm an Uchiha!" Itachi blinked at him, before nodding.
"… Exactly."
"You're impossible!"
"… I can't help it… It's a naturally part of being the older sibling." Sasuke raised a sceptical eyebrow.
"Yeah, right… You're the only one being this overprotective." Itachi shook his head. God, just why did his brother have to be so damn stubborn?
"No. Just look at Madara. You'd really think that he let just anyone near Izuna? … Just anyone stepping to close to his brother made his blood boil."
"… That's something else. Izuna was all innocent and uke-ish. He needed that protection."
"… Izuna was an Uchiha-prodigy just like Sensei (Madara). They were equals. But even though, Madara couldn't help being overprotective, because of their strong bond." Sasuke glared shortly, before crossing his arms and looking elsewhere.
"… So what? I don't want to discuss this anymore. You're so damn stubborn…"
"… It's not my fault, you don't want to admit that you're topped by Fishcake*."
"… It's not only that…" Sasuke pouted. "It's also the fact you won't accept the fact that I play around with other than just him."
"For example Deidara, and the fact that I top him."
"… Hell no. That's not going to happen. Ever."
"… You're impossible. Impossible."
It's actually based on me and my friend's, Kakiity, never ending discussion whether it's NaruSasu or SasuNaru, when we're cosplaying/cosplay-talking as Sasuke and Itachi. I'm the one of us that believes in Narusasu and don't want to compromise or anything. It's practically our own words and reactions that's expressed/written down xP
*My nickname for the blonde Hokage-obsessed guy/Naruto from time to time ;P
Hope you enjoyed reading our craziness!33
