This listing has a 3 piece children's dish set from McCoy's Wabbit collection! There's a cup, a bowl, and a saucer. Bottoms are marked: 1221 (1222, 1223), McCoy, Lancaster Colony (mark), USA. Set is in super condition with some typical McFlaws (glaze skips, few dark specks, etc.) – nothing detrimental!
Lin's Antiques and Collectibles
This is an outstanding children's alphabet bowl! It has the alphabet around the outside of the bowl and the inside has 4 nursery rhyme scenes. The bowl is 7 3/8" diameter, 1 1/8" tall, and bottom is stamped "Germany, 226". It's in wonderful condition with some wear to some of the nursery rhyme titles – that's it! Super collectible.
Cute little McCoy item – a child's saucer with in-mold bunnies! Marked on back: 1221, McCoy, Lancaster Colony (mark), USA. Saucer is white with blue cast/tinge (like Strawberry County) and is in wonderful condition with some typical production flaws – a pin-pop and a super tight (1/8") stress, uneven glaze – not detrimental to this neat item!

When watching William Hung butcher "She Bangs" on "American Idol", I realized that it's sort of ironic that William is definitely not "hung" and he will most likely never get a chance to "bang".

The financial aid program at Temple Law School is designed to help fill the gap between the cost of a legal education at Temple University and the student's own resources. Financial aid may consist of any combination of academic or need based scholarships and grants, federal and private loans and work study.
A student's relationship with the financial aid office and our staff begins before they enter law school and for some, continues beyond graduation day. Our staff is available for counseling to prospective as well as current students on the application process and the types of aid available to each individual student. Through the Barrack Public Interest Fellowship Program, our loan repayment assistance program, we can assist some graduates of the law school with the repayment of their student loans.
The office is open from 9:00 to 5:00, Monday through Friday and we can be reached by phone at (215) 204-8943 or via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. We are also available to meet with evening students on an individual appointment basis.

Medlen out for similar effort, better result vs. Reds
Hurler, who'll face Arroyo, had one of best starts in Cincy, but ATL lost
Braves starter Kris Medlen turned in one of his best outings of the season on May 7 against the Reds, allowing two runs and four hits in seven innings, but he did so in what turned out to be a heartbreaking loss. On Friday at Turner Field, he'll look to duplicate that performance and also get his record (7-8) back to .500 on the season.
Medlen was in line for the win when he left his first start against the Reds, but the bullpen gave up three runs, including back-to-back homers to end the game. In the first four innings, Medlen gave up one hit -- a homer -- and said afterward it was the best he felt all season to that point.
The 27-year-old right-hander couldn't say the same after his most recent start, in which he gave up a career-high seven runs (six earned) to the Phillies. Six of those runs came with two outs, with the other coming by way of a home run.
"It was one of those days for me," Medlen said. "I felt like I jumped ahead OK and I was ahead of guys. But putting guys away was a different story. I threw balls off the plate and they hit them."
The Braves took two of three from the Reds in that three-game series in early May, including one win over right-hander Bronson Arroyo, who will take the mound on Friday. Arroyo went just five innings against Atlanta -- his second-shortest outing of the season -- giving up four runs on eight hits and two walks along the way.
"That was definitely a battle," Arroyo said after his May 6 appearance against the Braves. "Top to bottom, that's a really powerful lineup. A lot of threats are in there. You have to be a little bit more nitpicky. I wound up getting guys on base early in almost every inning. When you do that, it forces you to throw more pitches, especially against a lineup as deep as these guys were."
Atlanta's lineup might not be as strong as usual on Friday. Braves right fielder Jason Heyward exited Thursday's series opener in the second inning with a strained right hamstring, which he appeared to sustain as he rounded second going from first to third on a Justin Upton infield single. The Braves announced that Heyward, who walked off the field on his own power, would be re-evaluated on Friday.
Heyward missed the first series against the Reds, as he was on the disabled list following an emergency appendectomy. In seven career at-bats against Arroyo, Heyward has just one hit -- a solo home run.
Braves: Freeman earns All-Star nod
Before Freddie Freeman drilled a two-run double in his first at-bat on Thursday, the Braves first baseman received an ovation from the hometown crowd. Thanks to those fans and many others, Freeman will make his first All-Star appearance on Tuesday.
As part of a record-setting turnout, Freeman earned the National League's Final Vote selection, collecting more votes (19.7 million) than any player ever has in the process. He beat out heavy favorite Yasiel Puig of the Dodgers. Freeman returned the favor on Thursday by driving in four runs and going 3-for-4 at the plate.
"It's just an amazing thing," Freeman said. "I didn't even know fans knew about me. I just try to stay low and play baseball. To get this much love and support from everybody is just unimaginable."
• Chris Johnson extended his season-best hit streak to 12 games with a 1-for-4 performance on Thursday. Johnson is batting .396 (19-for-48) during the streak, with six multi-hit games.
Reds: Hanigan hits DL with strained left wrist
With fellow catcher Devin Mesoraco battling back spasms, Ryan Hanigan did his best to fight through his own injury issues. But the only way Hanigan's strained left wrist is going to get any better is if he gives it some rest, leading to the Reds' decision to put him on the disabled list before Thursday's game against the Braves.
"We tried to gut it out and he tried to gut it out and we tried to wait as long as possible," manager Dusty Baker said. "It got to a point where it wasn't going to get well if he kept swinging and kept diddling with it. So we thought we'd use the DL. With four days off and the All-Star break, he'll probably miss no more than 10 games instead of 15."
To replace Hanigan, the Reds called up 37-year-old veteran Corky Miller from Triple-A Louisville. Miller played in six games for Cincinnati at the end of April and early May and batted .125.
"A guy like Corky Miller knows our staff," the manager said. "He was Devin [Mesoraco's] mentor, so he'll even make him better by being here. Hopefully he can contribute some while he's here playing."
• The Reds set a franchise record on Thursday when the bullpen notched its 10th straight game without surrendering a run. Logan Ondrusek and Alfredo Simon each pitched two scoreless innings in the series opener, making it 28 2/3 innings without a run off a reliever.
Worth Noting
• Brian McCann, the reigning National League Co-Player of the Week with the Reds' Homer Bailey, enters Friday with a .450 average (9-for-20), four home runs and seven RBIs against Arroyo.
• Reds center fielder Shin-Soo Choo is 7-for-17 (.412) on the current road trip, and he carries a nine-game hit streak into Friday.
• The Braves are the best home team in baseball this season, going 30-13 (.698) at Turner Field.

Devon, United Kingdom
Devon, managerial, geographic, and memorable area of England. It structures a piece of the South West (or Cornish) Peninsula of Great Britain and is limited to the west by Cornwall and to the east by Dorset and Somerset. The Bristol Channel deceives the north, and the English Channel adjoins it to the south. The authoritative, geographic, and notable areas cover somewhat distinctive territories. The managerial district embodies the locale of East Devon, Mid Devon, North Devon, South Hams, Teignbridge, and Torridge; the precinct of West Devon; and the city of Exeter, the province seat.
The geographic region of Devon is the third biggest of that sort in England. It envelops the managerial province and the unitary powers of Plymouth and Torbay. The noteworthy province includes the whole geographic region, and a little range along the fringe of the locale of West Dorset in the authoritative district of Dorset and a bigger zone expanding west from Werrington along the River Otter inside the architecturally significant area of North Cornwall in the Cornwall unitary power.
Inside Devon's limits is a wide assortment of view, including Dartmoor National Park and, in the north, some piece of Exmoor National Park. Dartmoor, with shallow muddy valleys, slender fruitless soils, and a vegetation of coarse grasses, heather, and bracken, is a rock level climbing to over 2,000 feet (600 meters), the peaks topped by stone tors (secluded weathered rocks); the field is utilized for unpleasant eating, reforestation, repositories, and military preparing and is a prevalent zone for sightseers. Exmoor, arriving at rises over 1,575 feet (480 meters), is an alternate level where harsh brushing and tourism are critical, yet it has more farmland than Dartmoor. Quite a bit of focal and northwestern Devon is offered over to field. The dirt in South Hams, south of Dartmoor, frequently delivers great farmland. The ripest soil is in southeastern Devon.
Agribusiness is Devon's most important single monetary action; around 30 percent of the working populace is subject to farming and related commercial enterprises. It is in view of animals (backed by perpetual meadow and ley), grains (particularly grain), and potatoes, business sector planting, cultivation, natural product, and feed crops. Dairy cows are most essential in eastern, northwestern, and southern Devon, and Devonshire thickened cream is still created. Hamburger steers are raised all through, particularly in the south and west. Sheep are essential all through the region, including Dartmoor and Exmoor, except for eastern Devon. Somewhere around 1964 and 1980 the quantity of ranch possessions fell by 25 percent, yet the normal size expanded. Delicate leafy foods are developed in protected zones, however customary juice plantations are declining in real estate, and the fruit extract is currently created in industrial facilities.
Tourism overwhelms the seaside regions and is additionally critical in the rustic inside. The principle resorts, aside from Ilfracombe on the north drift, lie on the south drift and incorporate Torbay (one of the nation's driving occasion resorts), Paignton, and Brixham. Both coasts overflow with pleasant residential areas and towns, for example, Salcombe, Lynmouth, and Clovelly. Administration exchanges utilize 66% of the working populace, more than the national normal, mirroring the significance of tourism and the huge resigned populace that is pulled in by the gentle winter atmosphere and view. The waterfront regions of East Devon, and additionally those of neighboring Dorset, were named a World Heritage site (2001).

Chinese carbon frame and wheels threadRe: Chinese carbon frame and wheels threadnickobec, I was going to originally get 38mm's (lighter and less hassle with valve extensions), but will be using these for racing, and 50mm Zipp 404's are popular up here.
Plus "Smart" from FarSport says the 50mm are the most popular wheel sold to Australia. These wheels all seem to have the basalt brake rim surface spec. FWIW, I phoned FarSport on Friday to see if Smart (the guy I'd been emailing via [email protected] ) actually existed...and someone put me through to him. Sounded like a girl, but he laughed and said no, then sent me this pic of himself. I realize this could be a pic of anyone, but thought I'd share. His email communication has been very good, but his language was a little rough.
Re: Chinese carbon frame and wheels threadpawpaw I intend to race on them too, but went for the 38mm as they are lighter less and pretentious for an E grader :-)
Currently racing on my training wheelset which includes a 630gm PowerTap Elite+ hub, great for information, but my current rear wheel weighs more than the new wheelset. Still those wheels are not hard to push around a flat course even attached to a steel training bike. But in a couple of weeks time I have a race, that requires me to climb a lot more than I am use to or like, so the lighter the better. Been dealing with Johnson via [email protected] all very easy, email replies have been pretty quick. Only odd bit was the email address for the paypal account was @gmail address, but a quick look at the RBR thread put my mind at rest. Back to racing, a dutch friend raced a couple of crits in Melbourne in January commented he was the only one racing on "normal" wheels, everybody else was racing on carbon. Interest in which frames your friend got from FarSports, looking for a stiff BB30 frame for a crit bike later this year. The RBR threads on frames are not that informative as the wheels thread and generally cover Hong !! BAN ME NOW FOR SWEARING !! and Deng !! BAN ME NOW FOR SWEARING !! my blog Nick Cowie, member of Peel District Cycling Club
Re: Chinese carbon frame and wheels threadnickobec, can relate to lighter wheels on hilly races. My current and only set are the original bontragers that came with my 4.7 Trek Madone = 1.92kg!
I raced Lakeside Sat which has a big hill, and did a hilly speedy group ride yesterday, and a set >500g lighter would have made a tangible difference. Nevertheless, as I kept telling my mates when I was getting dropped on the hills, "15 water bottles"; the no. of 700ml bottles that equal my excess body fat.
Re: Chinese carbon frame and wheels thread
Just heard from my mate re the frames. I misunderstood him, as he got the wheels from FarSports and the frames from Dengfu via Ali Baba using Paypal. FM-028 which is his current frame, and FM-015 (which I think he bought for his partner). Next time I see him (on teh weekend) I'll ask which bottom bracket and any build issues. think he got BB30. He is an A grade racer and has done a lot of hard k's on it and he's still happy. I watched him accelerate to 100kph down a 30% decline a few weeks ago. You've got to trust your frame for that. http://dengfu.en.alibaba.com/productlist.html edit: I just paid via paypal for the 50mm clinchers. Will post progress reports.
Re: Chinese carbon frame and wheels threadOoooooh, just checked out the farsports page and notices something really exciting. Just when I'd almost stopped myself and said that the money is going to the better frame instead ... 23mm wide carbon clinchers, that are either 38 or 50mm deep. They are listed as 16 - 28 holes, 390g +/- 10g, 3K/UD weave, with the part no. being FSJ-50, and are listed in their cyclocross section. As a wheelset with 20/24 spoke Novatech disc hubs, is 1310 +/- 30g for rim brake hubs, and 1420g for disc brake hubs using CX Ray spokes . Yummy. Some emails heading off to China ...... Standby to standby Last edited by MichaelB on Mon May 14, 2012 3:54 pm, edited 1 time in total.
Re: Chinese carbon frame and wheels thread In looking closer, webpage for the wheels states Tubular, but the piccie on the wheelset & rim page looks a LOT like a clincher rim ?
Have fired off the email anyway seeking clarification
Re: Chinese carbon frame and wheels threadAren't they tubs?
I asked the same question last week and they told me they have 23mm... tubs. Hard to tell if tub or clincher from the angles.
Re: Chinese carbon frame and wheels thread
Bugger. Got all excited too ...... Oh well, money stays in bank for now ....
Re: Chinese carbon frame and wheels thread
Unless you want 30mm wide clinchers - http://www.aliexpress.com/fm-store/502344 MTB 29er rims Excited my wheels arrived in Sydney this morning, fingers crossed here in Perth in my hot little hands tomorrow my blog Nick Cowie, member of Peel District Cycling Club
Re: Chinese carbon frame and wheels threadI'm excited for you too Nic....
Could you weight them before putting on rim tape? and piccies? Guess mine will get here mid next week.
Re: Chinese carbon frame and wheels threadNicobec, Farsports also do a 23mm wide clincher, but it's only 23mm deep.
What I would like is a 38mm deep x 23mm wide clincher that is stiff and weighs 400g. Not too much to ask is it .... I have found a set of light disc hubs that are 130mm wide at the rear for a good price, and thanks to Crawf, a good supply source of bladed spokes. So just waiting on a rim to suit ...
Re: Chinese carbon frame and wheels threadWhat do you think the chances are of these 38mm CC rims coming in at close to 350g each? I reckon they'll be 400-420g.
Re: Chinese carbon frame and wheels threadEmailed farsports asking about their 29er clincher wheelsets. My commuter is a CX bike with a 135mm rear spacing and disk brakes but the stock wheels are very heavy and a bit blah, it's a bit of a wank on my part but I might save nearly 1kg on the wheels alone by going to these carbon ones and I'm sure they'd still be strong enough (I'm a light guy and only ride on paths/roads).
Re: Chinese carbon frame and wheels thread
Given that their narrow width 38mm CC's are currently 430 +/- 10g, not a hope. Their 38mm light tubular is 300g though.
Chinese carbon frame and wheels threadAndrew, please let us know how they respond as I am looking for 29er wheels for a build I am doing,
Thanks, Andrew
Re: Chinese carbon frame and wheels thread
Smart from Farsports is indeed responsive, and here is the latest email re some more info about their 29er wheelset and/rims for 23mm width and 23mm depth ;
Reasonably light at 370g for the rims.
Re: Chinese carbon frame and wheels thread
Ballpark price on the FM015? Would like to upgrade the wifes alloy frame but she doesn't ride enough to justify the cost of an all new carbon bike or brand name frame.
Re: Chinese carbon frame and wheels threadCrawf, I am interested in all the details you want to share. Was the delam on a basalt rim surface? and approx k's before delam?
I note Dengfu cc wheelsets are heavier but cheaper than Farsports. My mate is very happy with his 015 and 028 frames, though I think there's newer models out now with different numbers. Can anyone tell me how much vertical play you get with a frame with an integrated seat post?
Re: Chinese carbon frame and wheels thread
It was a while ago so can't exactly remember, probably less than $500 delivered now as there are newer frames out now and the 015 is considered somewhat old now.
Again, the wheelset is about 2yrs old now and never had the basalt, just a raised strip. They were pretty new at the time and had less than 1500km on them. Happened while riding in the Sunny Coast Hinterland, nothing to huge just rolling hills. I remember I had just installed a new set of supplied pads too. I was very mindful of the delam so was always looking after them but it still happened, my weight was 85kg. RE the ISP, it's never entered my mind on my 028, so I guess that's an indication of how much play I have ever noticed.
Re: Chinese carbon frame and wheels threadJust got my quote for the 29er wheels, same as previously posted $655 delivered. Tempted, I'm thinking about it.
Re: Chinese carbon frame and wheels threadI gotta stop reading this thread.
My commuter does not need new wheels. My commuter does not need new wheels. My commuter does not need new wheels. My commuter does not need new wheels. My commuter does not need new wheels. ...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.
London Boy 29/12/2011
Re: Chinese carbon frame and wheels threadI'm only here wondering what you're doing here. Yes, you're probably right. Your commuter doesn't need new wheels. Especially crabon ones.
Re: Chinese carbon frame and wheels thread
Hmmm...sorry, my poor explanation. By play I mean how much can the saddle be moved up/down to facilitate better bike fit?
Re: Chinese carbon frame and wheels thread
AFAIK, most of the clamp thingies will give you about 30mm, any lower and you'll have to get the hacksaw out. ...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.
London Boy 29/12/2011
Re: Chinese carbon frame and wheels thread
There is no adjustment there, once you chop you cant go back, although I guess it's possible you could reinsert a chopped off seatpost section back onto the topper to raise it back up, but probably not the best/safest solution. With mine, I chopped it bit by bit till I was comfortable with it, certainly a bit finicky to initially setup.

Wild Planet Albacore Tuna (12 cans-lightly salted)
Item# ZSQ15
Tuna is one of the healthiest foods you can eat—but mercury can be an issue if you're not familiar with the source of tuna. Tuna is a rich source of omega-3 essential fatty acids—in fact, it contains both EPA and DHA fatty acids. These are both "good" fats that are exactly what your heart and brain need for optimal health throughout every stage of your life.
Today's fishing practices, however, leave much to be desired. A lot of the boats catching tuna for the major canneries cut corners and a lot of canneries just don't do things the right way. Many canneries cook the tuna twice—once before it is canned, then again after the canning. The first cooking removes the oil, and with it all of those healthy omega-3s. Then vegetable oil or water is added and the tuna is canned and cooked yet again. By the time it's said and done, most of its nutritional value is gone.
There is still one fishery that does things right—they are Carvalho Fisheries. They start by only fishing for tuna on the surface of the Pacific waters where the younger-aged fish live. The younger and smaller the fish, the less mercury they tend to have. Carvalho Fisheries' principals, William Carvalho and Bill McCarthy, have a combined 35 years of experience in the seafood industry. They possess intimate knowledge of industry practices and in 2003 chose to discontinue involvement in fisheries that either employ harvest techniques that result in the wasteful discard of usable species or contribute to marine habitat damage. Wild Planet was created in 2005 to introduce a branded selection of sustainably caught seafood and Carvalho Fisheries was merged into Wild Planet in 2008.
Wild Planet believes that conservation of wild habitat and harvest of wild seafood can successfully coexist. They strive to offer a product line consisting only of the most eco-preferable, wild seafood on the planet. Thus arose the name Wild Planet.
Wild Planet Low Mercury Albacore Tuna offers:
- 6 times the omega 3s than national store brands average
- More omega 3 than salmon
- Sustainably caught/Dolphin-safe/turtle-safe, troll caught fishing methods and custom canning technique
- Young, small, wild fish used, so there is less likely to be environmental contamination
- Tuna is packed in its own oils and no liquid or oil is added
- Delicious taste and exceptional texture
- Excellent source of protein
- 0g of sugar and carbohydrates
- Relatively low levels of mercury (.17 ppm) and less than the 1.0 ppm max set by the FDA
Carvalho's whole process guarantees the highest-quality and freshest-tasting tuna. Each fish is filleted by hand—the dark meat is trimmed away and only the premium white fillets are carefully packed into each can. The lid is rolled on by a press to seal it to the can so that there are no lead seams.
Once sealed, the tuna is cooked in the can with its own natural, healthy juices. Every drop of omega-3-packed oil is right there in every can. And each can is cooked according to the strictest standards of temperature and durations set by the Oregon Department of Agriculture. The result is the healthiest, best-tasting tuna you'll ever eat.
The taste and the texture of the Wild Planet Low Mercury Albacore Tuna is so fantastic you can eat it right out of the can—it's like eating a tuna steak form a fancy restaurant. So you don't have to give up one of your favorite healthy foods—try this delicious, safe tuna today—you'll never eat another brand of tuna again!
About Low Mercury:
Comparing Wild Planet test results with FDA albacore test results adjusted for water dilution arrives at the following comparison:
- Wild Planet albacore average mercury test result: 0.17ppm - 62% less z
- National brands albacore average mercury test result adjusted for water dilution: 0.45ppm
- FDA maximum level allowed 1.0 ppm
*Note: An additional $4.00 heavyweight surcharge will be applied to each item ordered.

This is what it should have been from start. I used phoronix-test-suit to compare your benchmarks with mine (Core i3) to figure out the difference and I should say that ARM has come a long path. With Cortex A5X I think we will see something in the range of core series of Intel.
A suggestion: I know that you need some clicks to make enough funds to keep up your very good work (and I am grateful), but I really think you need to expand your reviews to be more through like Anandtech. One have to read a lot of your articles to grasp the idea of what is going on "in a single matter". In that case your site will be more worthy of citations! This way it is more of a go to phoronix and try to find the thing that you are looking for. Which most people won't.

So, Batman flies the bomb out to sea and it detonates. I can appreciate that he wants to fake his own death and retire for real, and I can believe he fixed the autopilot (when Fox couldn't), but it really did not seem to me that he could have ejected at a safe distance considering the shots prior to the explosion.
If we are to believe that he did get out, six miles before the explosion, judging by the rate of the Bat that would put him about 12 miles out when he landed in the Bay.
So either he has a crazy swim to do, or I'm being too picky.
Am I missing something?

The broiler element in the top oven of my 12 year old maytag gemini broke and caught fire Adrienne L. • La Mesa, CA • November 14, 2014 My Repair & Advice I had the choice of spending $2K on another double oven stove or $60 on two elements. (I felt more secure about replacing both bake and broil elements just in case the fire had damaged the bake element) It was an easy decision and quick replacement! Power was already off to the stove so I cleaned up the fire retardent mess. I even found easy instructions dismantling the oven door in order to clean the powder residue from between the glass. I then removed the rack and remaining old elements. I taped the ends so they wouldn't slip back into the hole in the back of the stove. Six screws held everything in place. Total time for element replacement 15 minutes! It took me over an hour to clean up the mess the fire extinguisher made. Was this review helpful to you?

Haute Beauty: The Best of Fall 2012 Couture
Blue eyes made a dramatic statement on the spring/summer 2012 runways. When translating the eye-popping hue to real-life, however, less is more. M.A.C senior artist Keri Blair reveals a subtle yet stunning take on the trend.
Blair used a fluffy brush to apply M.A.C's new Heavenly Creature Mineralize Eye Shadow in Bright Moon. The icy gray, silver, and green mélange can be worn soft or bold: "I dampened the brush to achieve more opacity," says Blair, adding that, "For a powdery, see-through finish, you can apply the product dry." No matter which way you choose, Blair says the aim is to achieve a "watercolor-like wash" on the lid.
M.A.C Heavenly Creature Mineralize Eye Shadow in Bright Moon, $20; available July 5 on maccosmetics.com

I've used a lot of flex sockets over the years including every major brand, and these look and feel as good or better than even the most expensive brands. As a professional auto mechanic, I use these every day, and more so on late model cars that are very cramped. Most cars you can't even work on without a lot of of swivel sockets or a universal adapter. I like the pinless design, which allows freer movement at extreme angles. I can't testify as to the strength or longevity yet, but this type of socket usually wears out before it breaks, after 10 years or more, and by that time it will have saved you thousands of man-hours and paid for itself many times over. The price is also very fair; you'd pay 2 or 3 times as much on a typical tool truck.

Really cute little dog candy container by the J.C. Crosetti Company of Jeannette, Pennsylvania! Measures 2 5/8" tall and I believe it has the original candy pieces – display only, not edible!!
This listing has a cute little cat shaped ring holder! It's silver-tone metal (reminds me of Godinger items). She sits on, is attached to, a little metal tray that measures 3 ¼" x 2 ½". The cat is 2 5/8" tall (to ears) and 3 ¼" to tip of her tail. Neat!
All Items : Pottery and Stoneware : McCoy : Planters and Flower Pots : Pre 1970
item #1266281
(stock #3937)
Super neat McCoy frog shaped planter in excellent condition! He's a pretty avocado (or olive) green color with shiny over-glaze and bottom is marked McCoy, USA. He has a teeny 1/8" non-color on top of a back toe that is production – it has shiny over-glaze but no color and is not detracting in any way!
This listing has two Gurley bunny shaped candles! They measure 3" tall and have the original Gurley cardboard bases/labels. The pink bunny has had a broken ear (repaired) and is included at no charge – pricing is base on one bunny candle.
Another pair of excellent condition McCoy vases – these are swans! Gorgeous vases are matte white, measure 9" tall (at tallest), and are marked McCoy. They have a few typical production McFlaws – glaze irregularities, etc. and one swan has a teeny glaze pop on her head. It is not a ding, it's simply a popped bubble, teeny and of no consequence. Super neat vases!
These little birds are so cute! There are two with Napcoware stickers, 3 with Hong Kong, and 1 without a tag. The ones with Hong Kong stickers have wire covered feet. All 6 birds have feather wings. Neat!
All Items : Pottery and Stoneware : Pre 1970
item #1217046
(stock #M4359)
From my collection of animal planters, this is a pretty blue deer planter! Measures 6 ¾" tall (at tallest) and is in excellent condition.
Lin's Antiques and Collectibles
This little launder sprinkler is not your everyday find – it's an elephant with upraised trunk! The trunk holds the metal sprinkler/top that appears to be the original. Measures 7 ¼" tall (at tallest), 4 ¾" wide (at widest), and is in excellent condition. Super addition to a collection!
This excellent condition McCoy bookend has been in my collection for many years. It's a Love Birds bookend in beautiful matte aqua color and has the overlapping NM mark. The mold detail is crisp, clear, and very detailed. Perhaps you have a single bookend to match or just wish to use for display as I have.
These neat cat shaped earrings are marked "Laurel Burch"! The cats measure 1 1/8" x ½" and are gold-tone metal. Cute!
All Items : Pottery and Stoneware : McCoy : Planters and Flower Pots : Pre 1950
item #1169486
(stock #3852)
This little McCoy pig planter is cute and in super condition! Planter is unmarked, was produced in 1946, and still retains the majority of his cold paint. Neat item that is becoming more and more difficult to find!
This little mouse pin is so cute! It's silver tone metal covered with sparkly clear rhinestones and has a black rhinestone eye, measures 1 ½" long and ¾" wide (at widest). Excellent condition!
This is the cutest, silliest spaghetti dog I've ever seen! He's white with pink puffs on his shoulders, hips, and tips of his ears. Has pink trim around his rear ankles and on tips of his ears. He has a red nose and red tongue and is "wearing" a green hat. He measures 4 ½" long, 3" tall (from back foot to tip of his tail). He looks like a goofy dog – goofy but happy! You can't keep from smiling when you see him...
This white spaghetti mouse figurine is so cute! He measures 5" tall (at tallest) and is in super condition. His nose has a small amount of missing red paint, the paint is missing in a couple of his whiskers, and there's a teeny place on the back of one ear that I just don't know what it is...
All Items : Wall Decor : Pre 1970
item #1156880
(stock #M4301)
This listing has a cute chalk yellow dog wall plaque! Doggie is nice size – measures 6 ¾" from head to front toes and 6 ½" long (at longest). It is in very good condition with a few teeny flecks of missing color. Neat and unusual item!

I've grouped these Shawnee figurines in one listing but they are priced individually. Shawnee mini animal figurines are rather difficult to find – these have been in my collection for many years. There is a burgundy color pony, a yellow color pony, and a burgundy color deer. The little ponies measure 2 5/8" tall (at tallest) and the little deer is 2 ½" tall (at tallest). The ponies are in excellent condition...
This spaghetti poodle family is a little different – Mama has an attitude! She has two cute babies with her and she appears to be more than a little proud of them. Mama measures 5 ½" tall (at tallest) and babies measure 3" and 2 ½" tall (at tallest). They have red "Made in Japan" labels/stickers and are in excellent condition – cute!
These little candles are in excellent condition! They are Tavern Candle Company productions and there are 2 little ducks and 2 little bunnies. The ducks measure 2 ½" tall (at tallest) and the bunnies measure 3" tall (at tallest). All are super clean and unused condition with lots of detail (the bunnies even have belly buttons!). they are in a Tavern Candle Company box that was for "4 small bunnies"...

Sam Hawkins from Dallas, Texas just sent us this photo and letter about the photo. It's really a great shot! Here's what Sam had to say about it:
"The other day I was skating a slab in Dallas, Texas with some of my friends that the local kids call "skyline.'' The spots tight, lots of ledges and nice ground, always looks good on camera, and no one to hassle us or threaten to break down our cinder block ledges. I've been spending a lot of my summer days there and its been cool(despite the insane Texas heat.) I bought the new Square Twos and I have to say those are the best shoes I have ever owned. This was like the second day of skating them when I thought I should take a picture, because of the fat éS logo on the bottom of the sole. So I took off the shoes and had my buddy put them on and just said "Walk like you're going to the skyline." Of course he was like "What the hell? Okay." So as he was walking I got on the ground and took this shot of the soul with the éS logo, and the skyline in the background. Hopefully you guys like it. It'd be dope to appear on the website if you know what I mean.. One day maybe I'll shoot for you guys. That'd be a dream."
Well Sam, your photo was so sick, that we had no choice but to blast it out to our fans! Keep up the good work.
éS Flow Rider Leo Heinert created this video for After Midnight in N.Y.C. It's a pretty sick clip of just cruising the streets and skating, it makes you want to get off your computer and hop on your skateboard, so go do it!
A HUGE congratulations goes out to éS rider, Mike Anderson who just turned pro for Krooked Skateboards and éS Skateboarding. Manderson has been killing it this year and this monumental time in his life is very much deserved. Check out this video that Krooked Skateboards just created where Gonz debuts Mike's pro Krooked model as a surprise to him. Also, check out Krooked's new Summer 2010 line as well. Congrats, Mike.
éS AM, Kelly Hart just had the honor of filling in for fellow Expedition-One Skateboards team rider, Ryan Gallant at the Battle at the Berrics 3. Watch Kelly battle it out with Erik Ellington.

- "Or perhaps in Slytherin,
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folk use any means,
To achieve their ends." - —The Sorting Hat[src]
Slytherin is one of the four Houses at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and is traditionally home to students who exhibit such traits as cunning, resourcefulness, and ambition. Its emblematic animal is the snake and its colours are green and silver. The house ghost is the Bloody Baron. Founded by Salazar Slytherin, the house is composed mostly of pure-blood students, due to its founder's mistrust of Muggle-born witches and wizards. Slytherin house has a negative reputation, with many claiming that it is the source of most Dark Wizards in Britain, notably Tom Marvolo Riddle, a.k.a. Lord Voldemort, as well as many of his Death Eaters (followers). It has a traditional rivalry with Gryffindor.
Slytherin corresponds roughly with the element of water.[7]
[show]Traits and values
- "You could be great, you know, and Slytherin will help you on the way to greatness, no doubt about that."
- —The Sorting Hat to Harry Potter[src]
Slytherins tend to be ambitious, shrewd, cunning, strong leaders, and achievement-oriented. They also have highly developed senses of self-preservation.[8] This means that Slytherins tend to hesitate before acting, so as to weigh all possible outcomes before deciding exactly what should be done.
According to Albus Dumbledore, the qualities which Salazar valued in the students he chose included cleverness, resourcefulness, determination, and "a certain disregard for the rules." Dumbledore noted that all of these were qualities possessed by Harry Potter, who was in Gryffindor.
Blood purity
- "I always knew Salazar Slytherin was a twisted old loony, but I never knew he started all this pure-blood stuff. I wouldn't be in his house if you paid me. Honestly, if the Sorting Hat had tried to put me in Slytherin, I'd've got the train straight back home..."
- —Ron Weasley expressing his claims on Slytherin's views.[src]
The Sorting Hat claims that blood purity, is a factor in selecting Slytherins. This suggests that it bases its decisions more upon the views of its members than on any accurate test of a student's lineage. Muggle-born Slytherins exist, but are very rare, as noted insultingly by Scabior the Snatcher.[9] There have also been definite examples of half-bloods sorted into the house, including Tom Marvolo Riddle and Severus Snape. Harry Potter was nearly sorted into Slytherin, but ended up in Gryffindor instead. Also, pure-bloods are not automatically placed in Slytherin. There have been various examples of pure-bloods sorted into other houses, including the Weasley family, Sirius Black, Neville Longbottom, and James Potter I all being sorted into Gryffindor house, Ernie Macmillan being sorted into Hufflepuff, and Morag MacDougal and Stephen Cornfoot being sorted into Ravenclaw.
Contrary to the wishes of the other founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Salazar Slytherin wanted a stricter policy of admission to the school —one limited strictly to pure-blood students. The controversy this created apparently led to him leaving the school and the Chamber of Secrets behind. A millennium later, the house's students are still considered affiliated with Salazar's reputed views, and open expression of pro-blood purity sentiment does seem to be more common in Slytherin than in other Houses.
This disagreement over blood purity, which caused Salazar Slytherin's friendship with Godric Gryffindor to break, is the origin of the feud between Slytherin and Gryffindor, the two most competitive of the houses. Slytherin and Gryffindor are generally rivals in Quidditch and for the House Cup, which the former had won seven years in a row prior to Harry Potter's arrival at Hogwarts in 1991. It is also rare for Slytherin and Gryffindor students to be friendly with one another, and common for them to share animosity. This was particularly the case during the First and Second Wizarding Wars. During the latter conflict, no Slytherin students joined an association known as Dumbledore's Army; however, this could be explained by the fact that only those Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, and Harry Potter trusted were invited. Some Slytherins declined to defend their school in the Battle of Hogwarts, with some joining the Death Eaters. However, there are exceptions, such as Slytherin Severus Snape and Gryffindor Lily Evans, who were best friends until Snape's use of the slur "Mudblood" and his aspirations to be a Death Eater caused Lily to sever their ties.
- "There's not a single witch or wizard who went bad who wasn't in Slytherin."
- —Ron Weasley to Harry Potter[src]
It is said that all Dark Wizards were in Slytherin (though it is untrue, as Peter Pettigrew was a Gryffindor and Quirinus Quirrell was a Ravenclaw), though how many were from this house before Tom Marvolo Riddle began recruiting Death Eaters there is unstated. As Slytherin was his own House, it was certainly most easy for him to recruit there.
It might also be possible (though unlikely) that the Sorting Hat simply sorts anyone with ill intentions into Slytherin, regardless of whether they possess cunning and ambition. Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle were both incredibly stupid and did not have that clever, cunning mind, but were still sorted into Slytherin.
However, it must be noted that Slytherins who oppose use of the Dark Arts and discrimination based on blood purity do exist, such as Horace Slughorn and Andromeda Tonks; the latter was related to many different Dark wizards and witches (most notably her sister Bellatrix Lestrange, her brother-in-law Lucius Malfoy, and her nephew Draco Malfoy), but chose to forsake the loyalty to her family in marrying the Muggle-born Ted Tonks. Also, the allegiance of Severus Snape was found to be ultimately towards Albus Dumbledore, serving as a triple agent for the Order of the Phoenix. Furthermore, there have been Dark wizards from other houses; Peter Pettigrew, who betrayed James and Lily Potter to Voldemort, was a Gryffindor.
Cunning and ambition are easily turned towards ill purposes, but are not inherently negative; furthermore, daring, intelligence, and loyalty can as easily become negative. A reason Slytherins may be thought less of by people is perhaps because many of them seem to value their own lives more than the lives of others. When Harry was trying to run away, because he was afraid that his presence was putting his friends in danger, Phineas Nigellus saw him and said, "We Slytherins are brave, yes, but not stupid. For instance, when given the choice, we will always choose to save our own necks." There are exceptions to this rule however, such as Snape, who Harry said was a "Slytherin and...probably the bravest man I ever knew" and Regulus Black, who gave his life in an attempt to destroy one of the Horcruxes of Lord Voldemort.
The truth is that while most Dark wizards are Slytherins, most Slytherins are not Dark, and smaller groups of Voldemort's supporters are aligned with other Houses. During the Battle of Hogwarts, while all of the Slytherin students left the school before the fighting started, several of them did return with the Hogsmeade reinforcements to join the fight against Voldemort and his Death Eaters; Furthermore, it should be noted that the acting head at the time ordered the entire house to leave due to a single Slytherin student suggesting the student body hand Harry Potter to Voldemort (although none of the Slytherins present moved to defend Harry from the suggestion, as the other three houses did).[10]
Common room
The Slytherin common room is found in the dungeons of Hogwarts Castle, and is located underneath the Black Lake. Because of its location, the light in the common room is green. Harry Potter along with Ron Weasley entered the common room in his second year to find out if Draco Malfoy was the one opening the Chamber of Secrets.
Head of House
Slytherin's head of house for Harry's first six years of school was Severus Snape; however, as he fled with the Death Eaters in 1997, Potions master Horace Slughorn became the head of Slytherin House. Upon Snape's return as Headmaster later that year, he apparently approved of Slughorn's appointment, or at least did not assign any Death Eaters as a new head of house.

Behind the scenes
- The fact that J. K. Rowling intended to place a character named Mafalda, a half-blood who was the daughter of a Squib and a Muggle, in Slytherin, suggests that Rowling at least does not view the Slytherin House desire for blood-purity as particularly influential upon the Sorting Hat. Also as Voldemort and Snape are both half-bloods there seems no reason to suspect a racially pure Slytherin.[15]
- Slytherin students might possess a certain skill in Potions. Harry's two Potions masters, Severus Snape and Horace Slughorn, both belonged to the Slytherin house. However, it is possible that this talent in Slytherin students could merely be a coincidence, as students from other houses at Hogwarts also shared this talent, such as Harry Potter's mother, Lily Potter (nee Evans) (whose skills were shown through Slughorn's many references to her skill in the subject throughout most of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) and Hermione Granger who were both Gryffindors.
- Slytherin students also seem to be gifted in Occlumency. Most of the known Occlumens in the books come from Slytherin (namely Voldemort, Severus Snape, Bellatrix Lestrange, Draco Malfoy, and Horace Slughorn).
- Elizabeth Burke was most likely a Slytherin.
- J. K. Rowling stated in a PotterCast interview that some Slytherins were among the reinforcements brought by Slughorn during the Battle of Hogwarts.
- J. K. Rowling stated that by 2017, Slytherin is no longer the pure-blood bastion that it once was. However, its dark reputation still lingers, hence Albus Potter's fears.[16]
- It is interesting to note that Slytherin is both the first Hogwarts house mentioned in the series (by Draco Malfoy), as well as the last mentioned in the series (by Albus Potter).
- In early drafts of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, members of the Slytherin house were known as "Slytherites".[17]
- Slytherin House was the winner of the first house cup on Pottermore.[18]

text: They say that the eyes offer a window into the soul, but your peepers could also hold some important clues about your overall health. Simply by peering into your eyes, your eye doctor can detect a broad array of health conditions�from hypertension to diabetes to Lupus�that you might not even be aware that you have. So an eye exam can do more than save your vision�it could also save your life. Dr. Brian Boxer Wachler, a nationally recognized Beverly Hills Ophthalmologist, has had many patients come in for a routine eye exam only to leave with a referral to a different medical specialist based on what he can see in their eyes. �There are so many structures that are visible with the eye that with other tissues, we just can�t see through,� Boxer Wachler notes. Below, Dr. Boxer Wachler outlines some of the underlying systemic issues that can be spotted during a routine eye exam: 1. Diabetes: A routine eye exam can detect blood and other yellowish fluids seeping out of fragile and miniscule vessels in the retinas. This condition, known as diabetic retinopathy, is the leading cause of blindness in the U.S. 2. Cancer: A routine eye exam can spy changes in the structure of the eyes in addition to unusual growths, including a rare form of cancer called ocular melanoma, which develops within the cells that make pigmentation in the eye. Skin cancer can also be detected through an eye exam, as lesions called basal cell carcinomas can show up on the eyelid and can possibly spread to the brain through the eye. 3. Hypertension: A routine eye exam can reveal bleeding in new blood vessels in the eye and bends or kinks in the vessels which normally run straight to the retina�both signs of high blood pressure. 4. Autoimmune Disorders: Inflammation of the light-sensitive retina at the back of the eye may be a sign of Lupus or other autoimmune disorders. 5. High Cholesterol: A routine eye exam can detect a yellow ring around the cornea, which can be an indicator of high cholesterol�a risk factor for heart attack or stroke. High cholesterol can also be detected by a yellow plaque forming on the blood vessels of the retina. 6. Thyroid Disease: A routine eye exam can detect a bulging of the eyes, which is one of the symptoms of Grave�s Disease � a disorder characterized by an overactive thyroid. 7. Tumors: A visit to the eye doctor can reveal that you have droopy eyelids and pupils that aren�t the same size, which can point to tumors in the neck or even possible aneurysms. Because so many health problems can be glimpsed through the eyes, Dr. Boxer Wachler urges anybody�even if they don�t have vision problems�to visit their eye doctor at least once every two years. �It�s important to be vigilant and go in for regular eye exams,� he notes. �Most of the conditions don�t hurt when they develop�their symptoms are silent. So if people don�t have a physical ailment or discomfort, they tend to think that everything�s normal,� he says. Bottom line? Stop putting of that eye examination. Your eyes�and body�will thank you for it. This article originally appeared as on Spry Living

Labor official criticizes tally of social costs of casino gambling
"The flaws inherent in the center's analysis of expanded gambling have never been clearer," said Joe Casey, president of the New Hampshire Building and Construction Trades Council. "Only after the report was released did the center decide to acknowledge reality: that Massachusetts plans for gambling will cost New Hampshire at least $75 million a year if we do nothing, information that absolutely should have been included in their full report.
"Knowing this, it makes more sense than ever for New Hampshire to build its own casino that will create jobs and generate needed revenue," Casey said.
"It is unfortunate that our long-standing concerns about the efforts by the New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies continue to be justified," Casey said.
"We believe the social costs derived from the center's own assumptions are overstated," said Casey. "The center's unproven social cost model apparently suggests little to no net benefit to the state. That's a bold assumption that needs to be backed up by real-world examples that can be found elsewhere. For when we look to states, whether it be nearby Maine or states like Pennsylvania or Delaware, the concerns dictated by these untested assumptions simply haven't materialized.

Chicago. Day off
11 May 2005
Chicago. Day off
I didnt get out of Bonos birthday party till 5am, and with this being the first real day off in a long while I wasnt exactly up with the lark. Around 1pm I left my room, intending to head down to go to Walgreens across the street for a few hotel room necessities, water, etc. I padded up the corridor, practically in my pyjamas, the elevator doors opened and there was Bono. 'Coming to lunch?', he says. 'Oh, go on, twist me arm then'
A dozen or so headed out to The Tenth Best Restaurant in America overlooking an angry looking Lake Michigan. After the week weve had, it was nice to do something so civilized. Everyone is delighted with the way the show and the video shoot went, so theres a real sense of achievement. Youd think that after all these years this kind of thing would get easier, but for U2 it seems to get harder. Thats the curse and the privilege of working with perfectionists. I was pretty out of it, but the surroundings were gentle and quiet enough, despite Simon Carmody singing at the top of his lungs for the duration. 'Who put the ball in the English net?', hed howl 'We did! We did!'. It transpired that this song of triumph referred to a sporting event which took place in 1988. Most odd.
The crew had a sporting event of their own today, in the form of a football match. This started life as a five a side kick around, but by the time it materialised, it had snowballed into a major event; full sized teams and pitch, played at Soldier Field, home of the Chicago Bears. There was a barbecue, cash prizes for man of the match, etc., live coverage on the stadium video screens, commentary over the PA, and a TV crew from MTV covering the event. Theres nothing like a low key family outing
Evening activity options included going to see Bruce Springsteen and The Killers (not on the same bill, I hasten to add) but I was a-gonner, so tucked up in my room. This hotel, the Park Hyatt, is one of my favourites. It is only upstaged by its sister Park Hyatt in Tokyo which is spectacular with just the right combination of Feng Shui and opulence. Its the hotel from the movie ëLost in Translation. Weirdly the thing which the vast majority of hotel rooms lack is a comfy chair. This one though has an Eames armchair and footstool which is glorious. My body feels like I just got back from a medium sized war, but tonight Im enjoying a small respite in a comfortable seat. Bill Evans is tinkling away in the background, the lights of Chicago blink outside the picture window and I even ordered room service, which I only ever do once in a blue moon (I always find it borderline claustrophobic to sit and eat by myself in a hotel room, then go to bed. Feels weird to me). Its blowing a gale outside, but in here theres not much wrong with the world and I shall sleep the sleep of kings.
Never did get to Walgreens, mind.

Acne Solutions Oil-Control Cleansing Mask
This oil-absorbing clay mask is still well-suited for those struggling with acne (and/or oily skin).
Clear Regular Strength Daily Skin Clearing Treatment with 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide
This anti-acne treatment contains 2% benzoyl peroxide, which kills acne-causing bacteria and prevents future breakouts.
Add to Faves?
In order to make the Best Products list, anti-acne products must be able to truly make a difference in breakouts by:
For killing acne-causing bacteria, benzoyl peroxide is considered the most effective topical treatment. Generally, benzoyl peroxide products come in concentrations of 2.5%, 5%, and 10%. As a general rule, it's best to start with a lower concentration to see if that works for you. If not, you can then try the next higher concentration.
If you find that the higher concentrations of benzoyl peroxide don't work, then it may be time for you to consult a dermatologist for a prescription topical disinfectant and/or for other topical acne treatments (e.g., Retin-A, Avita, Tazorac, or generic versions of these [active ingredient tretinoin, and, in the case of Tazorac, tazarotene]). Differin (adapalene) is also a very good prescription option.
For exfoliating inside the pore lining and helping with blackheads, BHA (salicylic acid) is preferred over AHAs (such as glycolic acid) because BHA is better at cutting through the oil inside the pore. Penetrating the pore is necessary to exfoliate the pore lining. However, some people (including those allergic to aspirin) can't use BHA, so an AHA is the next option to consider. If that describes you, please refer to the list of Best AHA Exfoliants elsewhere on this site.
For absorbing excess oil, use gentle, non-drying cleanser and, when needed, mattifying products or absorbent masks. Oil-blotting papers are also an excellent way to keep facial shine in check when you're away from home.
