i ordered this ring because my fiance fell in love with it online. it looks gorgeous in the picture but came with black overlapping the white gold and the wedding ring didnt match up with the engagement ring. i returned to get another which opened up another mess of problems with them getting it to me on time, and the second one was worse than the first! just a terrible joke. all of the prongs are uneven and the rings still dont match up. our ceremony was the same day the second ring was received and she wont give it up now that it has immense sentimental value. very unhappy with this whole ordeal.
I thought the rings were great, I loved them but this was an Anniversary present from my hubby and I thought the packaging was so cheap and pathetic, considering this ring is over $2,000 you would think they would put it in a nice box that would be presentable if it were being given as a gift or engagement ring. It came in a paper cardboard box with tacky foam that had a slit for each ring! It looked like you were getting something cheap, it was NOT presented or boxed well at all. My main complaint is that the company could not put this beautiful set of rings in a box worthy of it, that is truly sad and they should knock off $200 because obviously they were too cheap to buy a decent box to put these rings in! So I feel sorry for anyone getting it for an engagement ring, the man will have to invest in a MUCH nicer box otherwise she will think it is FAKE Jewelry! Sad very Sad indeed!
Similar rings to this beauty are literally twice as much at a mall jeweler. I was skeptical, but it's gorgeous.

O&sHairLight BrownDry HairCurly HairNo Different Than Others ConditionersI`ve used much better products for dry hair. It does not have any sulfates and other "bad" ingredients so i will use it until gone. Not sure if will buy it in the future.posted Nov 20, 2012Link to this post
JudyHairMedium BrownColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairFantastic Conditioner...Wow...that pretty much sums up this conditioner. Leaves my hair so silky. Noticed a difference the first time I used it. I also use the shampoo and since using these products I've really noticed a difference in the texture of my hair; it's much silkier with lots of shine and body and less frizz.posted Jul 2, 2012Link to this post
LanaFt. Myers, Fl.HairBlondeColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairWonderful Stuff.I used this with the shampoo and loved the results. I shampoo, blow dry and flat iron daily. I also color my hair once a month. This conditioner, when used with the shampoo, made my hair feel healthy and smooth without weighing it down.posted May 16, 2012Link to this post

ColleenHairGreyCurly HairFine or Thin HairFinally Nourishment For Gray Hair!My hair is silver and gray and WAS very dry. I began to use this product January 10, 2012. It actually feeds and nourishes my hair with outstanding moisture revitalizing it into soft, very shiny hair. I noticed immediate results. The silver in my hair posatively glints with the shiny gray as contrasts. I have never received compliments on my hair except for possibly, "...wish I had your curls." Now, I am complimented all the time for my hair being so shiny and healthy despite which, gray hair does not normally possess! I use the Alterna Caviar Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner. Definetly well worth the expense and a little bit of each goes a long way. I have more than half a bottle of each left and my hair is below my shoulder in length. I am now going to order the 3 Minute Shine Boost as I will be traveling to Florida (humidity) and than onto Texas (dry air) and want to protect my now lustrous locks. I wish my fellow sisters the very best in everything.posted Mar 8, 2012Link to this post

My hair is curly/wavy (and usually frizzy and dry). I bought this conditioner because I was looking for a product without sulfates and a lot of chemicals because I wanted healthier hair. I use this conditioner with the Alterna Life Curls shampoo and my hair is always shiny and soft afterwards. I knew this was a good product when my hairdresser asked what I had been using on my hair (because my hair had gotten so much healthier). I would recommend it because not only does it make your hair manageable and soft, but it will help your hair to be healthier since it does not have sulfates, parabens, and other harsh chemicals in it.

Not the best shorts
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: Runs small
Can't say too much about the shorts, they ran really small and I had to return them. They seemed like they would be good for biking, really bummed that they didn't work out for me.
Leigh Stokes
Great Shorts
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Love these shorts, light and stretchy. I like the length and fit around waist, not too tight, but not gappy either.
Kelsey Withrow
Awesome shorts
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I love these shorts! They are sweet for riding and I also wear them casually.
Pierre Lemire
Awesome Shorts
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I really enjoy riding in all weather in these shorts, they are breathable and when caught in a storm, the material dries very quick. I love the length, they are a bit longer than my other DAKINE biking shorts.
Material too slick for me
Very lightweight, 'slippery' material. Makes a lot of noise! Nice length, though. And, I like the lack of belt loops. I'm a size 4 pants, and the Small in these shorts were a touch too tight, and the Medium was too baggy for my liking.
Re Wikstrom
light and stretchy
These have a nice light and stretchy fabric that seems like it would be great for biking all summer. The rise was a little tall for my taste though, so I sent them back. For reference I'm 173lbs, 5'5" and would wear an XL in dakine shorts if their rises weren't so tall.

Where life makes sense. Where taxes are high as the teenagers. Where the police can't shoot straight. Where you hang out at Wal-mart on a friday night to pass the time. Where you can buy freshly killed chicken from the hutterites behind the big eye for a fraction of the cost in the stores. Where a hutterite comes up to you on the street and asks if you would taste his sausage and we know what he means. Where you send your 5 year olds to walk 5 blocks in the dark in minus 20 weather to go to school. The only place in the world that doesn't even question the car running with your baby strapped in the car seat with the doors unlocked while the parent goes shopping. Where 1 out of 3 teenage girls are pregnant. Where there is a church on every corner but the christians are few and far between.
Swift Current is a great place to get stoned, get pregnant, walk in the dark at a young age and not get raped. Become a Christian, raise your kids, walk in the parks with your dog. Get your own key for the porn store. And get your lawn ordements stolen. You know, like every other city.

About 2,800 high school and middle school students from as far away as Fresno converged upon the Presidio of Monterey on Friday to drink in the diversity of Language Day, an annual exhibition by the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center.
The event is "our opportunity to share the secret we have all discovered: Knowing a foreign language opens windows to the world," said Army Col. Sue Ann Sandusky, commandant at DLI and the Presidio.
The visitors were free to sample a smorgasbord of events, including entertainment — traditional dances and songs by students from all over the world — arts and crafts, and food. Students from DLI, many in native garb, were available to share their knowledge and experiences.
Many students were conversing in the language they are studying at the institute, which offers instruction in 24 languages in intense courses that vary in length from six to 18 months.
"It's really kind of fast-paced. They throw a lot at you at once," said Marine Pfc. Andrew Ross, a student of Arabic from Golden, Colo. "What makes this place unique is the way the students and teachers have to interact. We're really required to put out at home, especially studying the vocabulary, because there really isn't time to go over that part in class.
"The instructors throw the words at us, and it's our job to know what they mean or figure it out. So you start out feeling like you're already a little bit behind, and that's pretty much the feeling all the way through," Ross said.
That hang-on-for-dear-life approach to language instruction might be unparalleled in the civilian world..
Air Force Staff Sgt. Don Ellis of New York City said a 47- to 63-week course at DLI is comparable to six to eight years of college-level language instruction. Students have been told that one day in a DLI classroom is equal to two weeks in a civilian course.
"We're expected to be speaking at a near-native level by the time we leave here, and most people who graduate from the DLI are," said Ellis, a student of Dari, one of the languages spoken in Afghanistan. He dressed in traditional Afghan garb for the event.
"When we go up to a place like Fremont, where there is a large Afghan community, they're always surprised at the level of proficiency we've attained in such a short time. They tell us our accent, our flow and our fluency is really great," he said.
Visitors to Language Day got a glimpse of the advanced technology that is used at the institute, including Smart Boards, iPods and various computer instructional aids.
"I was a teacher in my country for 15 years — I taught English as a foreign language — but the techniques at the Defense Language Institute are completely different," said DLI Arabic instructor Ibrahim Musa, a native of Sudan who wore an all-white robe and turban. "The DLI is very rich in visual aids and technology that you cannot find anywhere else, and when I first came here I didn't even know how to use a computer."
The entire curriculum is contained in standard-issue iPods, enabling each student to listen to audio lessons and participate in interactive activities outside the classroom. Instructors, for the most part, are teaching their native tongues. Most teachers are more than willing to stay after classroom hours to help a struggling student, and tutoring services are abundant.
"They treat you as an adult. They expect you to help yourself," said Amanda Teeters, a petty officer second class from Onawa, Iowa, who is learning Arabic. "They give you what you need to learn, then it's on you to make it happen. It comes down to how motivated you are to get it done — and we're all very motivated."
DLI graduates earn 45 semester hours of college credit and can obtain an associate of arts degree in their foreign language on completion of the requirements.

Kids and investing: A good idea
May 29, 2012
My 11-year-old son won some money in a math contest at school. He doesn't have anything that he is interested in spending his money on immediately, and I suggested that instead of spending it just for the sake of spending it, he might consider buying stocks and building a little portfolio. He seemed interested in this idea, but I wasn't sure where he should start. He has around $150. Can you help us decide where to start? Thanks! Michelle, South Jordan, UT

Wow, now that's pretty neat! Looks more like a space suit than a robot. Might be a cool tie-in somehow. You definitely got me thinkin'.
With the anticipated release of Gy-Gor, never before seen vintage prototype character which seemingly no one knew about until about six months ago, I got thinking about a pre-Filmation figure central to Castle Grayskull that was never made:
the Castle Grayskull robot/armor.
For years before Mattel released the Sorceress figure, I had regretted that this robot character could not move and protect the throne of Castle Grayskull. He just had to stand there like a useless statue and watch as Skeletor took the throne and the Evil minions took over my Castle Grayskull.
Now I reckon if we're getting a Gy-Gor no one's ever heard of, surely we deserve a Grayskull robot/armor figure.
Always loved the blaster attached to his left wrist. Looks like this figure could use Trap Jaw's legs, may need unique arms and helmet and a new armor built like Optikk's to cover the standard torso.
Maybe someone could help me out a bit to distinguish whether it is a robot or suit of armor? If it's a suit of armor, how cool would it be to remove the helmet and put a removable He-Man or Man-At-Arms or some other head in there?

It's a cool idea actually, but I don't see MAttel spendng too much new tooling budget for a sub exclusive.
If they were to do it with tons of reuse here's what they could use: (if maximum reuse was mandatory)
-Trap Jaw's lower legs and feet
-King Hssss's upper legs (Formerly He-Man's but Hssss's are better Thanks SDCC reveal for the update*)
-He-Ro Loincloth
-Trap Jaw's hands
-Trap Jaw's arms with new armor piece glued to the shoulder
-Hordak flat Abs
-Standard Torso
-New Armor and Helmet
-Accessory the Console to which the armor/robot is attached.
*= and Staff of Ka for the idea of updating the upper legs!

FINALLY!! GLIMMER IS IN MY SHELF!! Now I need a Crita!! Crita is to Mara what Evil Lyn is to Teela. If we ARE getting Mara, then we NEED Crita.
THAT would be an AWESOME figure! Mattel…make that STAT!!
200X fan? Classic fan? What does that mean? I'm a MotU fan!!!
That's probably Queen Marlena's space suit
Hey, that would be pretty cool...
MOTUC Customs:http://masterenglish.deviantart.com/...#MOTUC-Customs
Please visit my store for custom MOTUC accessories and services.
I'd definitely be up for that figure; it looks like a lot of tooling would be needed, but, as DO4M points out, some existing parts could easily be worked into the design. And the Horsemen have shown how ingeniously they can incorporate existing parts into the figures without making it obvious. Give him a sculpted control panel and enough do-dads to go with him, and you might get a beast/large or two-pack sized figure out of him.
As I've stated before, off the wall things like this and Gygor help keep the line fresh and unpredictable, something it needs to thrive and grow.

Excellent idea. Never even occurred to me. Matty, take notes!

I have been waiting for Optikk to come out so I can finally make this character. I have had a name and bio ready for him for about 9 months. I will definitely post a pic of him along with his bio when I complete him next month.

It always struck me as a "power/space" suit being charged. (With either someone inside it or not, like IronMan...)
I'd love it! I have always loved those cardboard inserts and the stickers as well! (That octopi-like arm reaching out of the grating? ) Rather than a figure though, I'd like it as a SUIT! Make it out of cloth/pliant latex with plastic bits attached!

YES. I'm all for it! Fantastic idea! That thing is oozing so much classic cheezy sci-fi that it's got me foaming at the mouth. Foaming awesome.

I'd make that as a figure with an exposed neck peg so you could just swap heads and you'll have any figure wearing the space suit/armor. Really cool idea for an incentive, bonus figure or even a Castle Grayskull weapons pak.
I always thought of it as a robot and I've heard the name "Defendor" bandied about as an unofficial name. He's made a few of my figure want lists.
A head swappable space suit though is a neat idea and I kinda like the idea that Queen Marlena's old space suit is stored away in Castle Greyskull as it's advanced alien technology. Maybe Man-At-Arms cribbed some stuff from it when building Roboto.
SUPREME WIN of an IDEA!!!
I'd buy 10 right now.
That thing is an ugly mess. Pass.
If we ever get a MOTUC Castle Grayskull, I would love to have "Defendor" as a pack in exclusive. Who doesn't love figures that come with a vehicle or playset? They should also make that blue dude flying the Wind Raider in the vintage BC vs Panthor poster. Poe Ghostal referenced it also in one of his columns.
I would be thrilled to buttons if we ever got this thing/guy/gal/whathaveyou! I love so many of the ideas mentioned here, too, from it being Marlena's spacesuit (which I've often pondered as well, though its placement in the castle sems odd) to the notion of having an empty neck peg inside the helmet for other figures to "wear it." I also like the idea of this thing simply being a robot programmed to defend the castle.
In any event, I hope we see it before all is said and done! Characters like this are truly making the line!!!
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time.

Blogging is not writing.
Looking at MySpace is not writing.
Friending on Facebook is not writing.
…There's a lot to be said for sitting down with your ownself and writing. Nothing, literally NOTHING replaces that. Focus. You're wasting time."
"Blog daily" is an advice given for bloggers that want to directly monetize their blogs. They need to have high search rankings and they need to engage their audience as much as they can. So they need to produce a lot of content on regular basis.
But that practice can kill a blog. many people blog whether they have something meaningful to say or not. As with any other media, speak when you have something to say :) Also, blogging by command can burn one out. Though writing/blogging daily is a good practice, it's not necessary to publish each thing we type, right?
BTW, one can comment on blogger and blogspot without having an account there. Just choose name/URL option (as I did now) and you're not obliged to fill the URL part :)
Fantastic post - you make some excellent points. I do blog quite a bit, I must admit, but I'm always absolutely clear that it isn't writing (as you put it). It's somehing I do in odd minutes, or when I've hit my day's word count.
I think there's also something a bit overwhelming with a blog that has gazillions of new posts on it all the time. You tend to think, gosh, can't be bothered to read all of those posts ...
I loved this!!! Slow blogging is the way to go. A few months ago I realized I was spending way too much time blogging/networking. I thought to myself: Self, what's the point in doing all this if you never have anything for the people to read? You don't want to be professional blogger... you want to write stories and books. Now get to work! That attitude readjustment changed my writing life. Now whenever anyone talks to me about starting a blog... I tell them... GO SLOW!!
ReplyDeleteYou said it all. I somehow resisted the urge to post daily and only blog once a week on Saturdays. And that takes a lot of time. I can't imagine having to come up with something every single day. Inevitably it must turn into talking about what you had for breakfast or some such. Still, in the end, I love blogging, but remind myself constantly that it is not Writing and therefore should take at best second place to the real stuff.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouraging comments everybody.
dandellion, I didn't know you could use the URL option to comment without a URL. I'll bet lots of people don't. Thanks!
I should say that I follow quite a number of daily blogs--Fiction Groupie among them--and I'm amazed, but these writers do come up with some pretty great content on a daily basis.
So all of you who do manage the superhuman feat of producing great daily blogposts AND writing fantastic fiction, I'm in awe! This is not meant to diminish your achievement in any way. Just to say if you ever want to slow down, that's good, too.
Thanks for the shout out! :) And I think blogging can be hard to balance. I've blogged five days a week for over a year. Obviously blogging has helped me since it helped me get that agent :) but it definitely can take a lot of time. I'll probably go to three days a week soon. I've heard that's just as effective as 5 days.
However, I think as long as you keep a schedule, like you said, whether that's once a week or once a month, you're good. People just need to know when to expect you. (Although, I will say if someone only blogs once a month, I'll forget to stop by.)
I loved this post Anne (going to link to it for tomorrow's post on Pens With Cojones). Finding that right balance is rather difficult and I think it is different for everyone.
If we are honest with ourselves though, we can tell when our blogging is greater than our capacity for it. It gets very difficult to find topics, the writing in our posts suffer, our actual writing time suffers. We just have to listen.
I'm down to thrice a week from daily now. Might go to twice or once soon. We'll see.
Thanks for such a great post
I too am a 5 days a week blogger, and it definitely is hard. I don't know where I pull my posts out of. But, like Roni, I am considering going to three days a week soon, but, like Roni, I do believe in the value of frequent blogging.
But I may go slower. For one, I no longer have the energy, as certain life circumstances have recently changed. Two, there are definitely times when I blog instead of writing, and I dislike that.
I like the concept of slow blogging a lot--I think it's in my future. Thanks for the points here and in the comments. This is a timely post for me.
excellent post Anne, I definitely think it might be something I should consider (although I don't really blog much about writing - lately though lot of issues have popped into my head). Since I've started to seriously write (actually producing words) I've spent less time blogging/responding - this slow blog idea seems like excellent idea :)
Thanks again for excellent post!
What an inspiring and refreshing post - one that gives me a few ideas for my own writing schedule. It's so easy to blog, and so difficult to face that novel. Sometimes I use the blog as a distraction. I love the quote from Miss Snark - the reminder that writing must always...ALWAYS...come first.
ReplyDeleteI saw this post linked on Roni's site and was intrigued--very glad I stopped by. I've been going the way of the slow blogger, I think, and your post gives me the rest of the permission I need to do that.
I'm not a fount of useful or useless information that people might find funny/informative, and at this point I've been blogging steadily for almost 8 months.
The five-days-a-week thing stopped working. The three-days-a-week thing is about to stop working.
Slow blogging it is!
Great post Anne. I rarely comment on anyone's blog (no time!) but wanted to say that I do not blog daily or even monthly sometimes. Since I write articles for a living (Oh is that what it is!) I really don't have time to do much blogging. I used to post blogs that were similar to the writing I do for a living, but recently I decided to use the blog to stretch my creative mind. Now I only write when it is something that truly inspires me and I try to write in a totally different mode than what is done in my professional life. It was quite liberating to break away and go in this direction. But even with that, I definitely do SLOW blogging!
Ruth Ann
I agree - once a day is too much. I try for three times a week. I love the idea of thoughtful reflective blog posts (that's what I'm going for) that hopefully offer some helpful tips. I also love google blogger and it's functionality. Blogging has increased my computer literacy and abilities ten fold.
ReplyDeleteHi Anne - well done! I'm a month into my first blog, and am on the slower side where blogging is concerned. I'm posting three times each week because I have a full-time job and also include my photography in most posts. It's busy but doable for now. :o) There certainly is a lot to do though, isn't there, when you write, blog, moderate comments, read other blogs, comment there, Facebook, Tweet, etc?! It's a wild ride! Please keep up the great work with your blog. I'm really enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, oh yes. Sign me up. I've felt the crunch recently when my personal life swallowed me whole and I didn't care because I was blogger-burnt out anyway. I'd hate to drop it completely because I do finally have a nice following and even though I'm on a 'supposed' M-W-F posting schedule now, even that is almost too much. I still find I'm spending way too much time in the blogosphere than I am on my own work.
Thanks for the validation-invitation.
I am reminded of that famous canard: Snooty literary critic to famous SciFi writer, "Tell me (wink-nudge)honestly, isn't 90% of Science Fiction crap?" to which famous SciFi writer replied, "90% of everything is crap."
Like SLOW Cooking, SLOW Blogging might allow the flavors to get concentrated (more thought, less water)so the Blog Soup doesn't turn into watery, tasteless thin gruel.
So, yes to Slow Blogging! Excellent post.
What wonderful comments! And I'm so glad to see new people commenting here. I think I've hit on something. We all feel so much pressure to do it all--more now than ever with our 24/7 media culture--that we forget what's important.
I have a sneaky suspicion some of those folks in the publishing biz who pressure us to BLOG! TWEET!! FACEBOOK!!! every waking moment (or better yet, skip that lazy sleeping thing altogether) are secretly trying to cut down on their slush by keeping us from writing our books.
I am 100% for slow blogging! My favorite blogs are the ones that post once a week because their posts are well thought out and because, like you said, I can find the time to read them. I find that people who blog every day often write "filler" posts - asking questions or talking about their cats or repeating what they've already said. I hope more bloggers move toward slow blogging.
ReplyDeleteI am the poster child of slow blogging. Once a week is what I want to do, can manage, etc. I tried upping my posts once, to 2 or 3 posts a week, and I found it just made me sloppy. Also, ya know, I know my place in the universe. One post a week is all anybody really needs of Kristen. I don't want to overstay my welcome.
ReplyDeletewhat, don't blog or tweet all the time? what good excuses for procrastination would i have then?
i love the idea of slow blogging, since i practice it myself. i think it changes the perception of blogging, however -- for writers, it feels like frequent blogging is for publicity, slow blogging for reflection. and that's how it should be, no?
Hi Anne! Great post! It's funny that I'm reading this today, because I haven't been fretting about not blogging, but about not being able to read all my blog friends' blogs (YOURS included, of course!) So, last night and today, I'm catching up! I totally agree with all the points about spending too much time on blogs, facebook, etc....and NOT writing! So, with that, I will say..."Have a wonderful weekend, and bye for now!"
ReplyDeleteah, I love it!
I blog about once a week, which feels about right to me. As you say, it's when there is something I have to blog about, rather than because I feel I have to blog. I follow a lot of blogs, and when I turn on my reader and find 657 unread posts I feel nothing but despair. Surely, I think, surely there isn't that much to say? And then I read the posts and no, there wasn't.
I didn't realise slow blogging was a 'thing', though. How nice to find the manifesto- thanks very much for the link!
I've had a blog for years, that began as a family connection, then a hobbyist gathering, and now a writing/teaching focus. It's evolved over time - both in content and frequency - and I must admit that it is much more enjoyable when I write to inspiration (and the posts have more substance too!).
As a blog follower, I'm sad to say that 100% of the time, when I find a new, exciting blog to follow, I drop out after a few weeks because of the constant bombardment of new posts that often have little new material or begin to delve in to TMI territory. I LOOK for slow bloggers because they tend to be more thoughtful, follow up with comments/correspondence, and are more generally focused on "others" rather than self-promotion. (Kind of like the difference between the "Look out for falling prices!!! at Wal-mart, and the "Dude, love your hemp socks..." at the Farmer's Market.)
Thanks for this reminder that we don't all have to hop on the hamster wheel!
Karen Nelson
It's so great to see this 2-year old post is still gathering comments.
Karen's comment is especially powerful, and I feel exactly the same way. If I love a blog and subscribe, I often end up unsubscribing after a few weeks because of the bombardment of too many posts. Once a week bloggers are much kinder to their readers as well as themselves.
Sulthana--Good luck. Once a week sure works for me.
I thought this was absolutely fantastic. I easily lose my authentic voice when I'm writing out of obligation, rather than actually have something to say. I understand a schedule is important so your readers know when to look for your stuff - on the other hand, I have no desire to have a steamy pile of rubbish delivered to their mailbox. Thanks so much for your piece!
ReplyDeleteChrystal--I'm so glad the slow blog message is resonating with people. You're right about the steamy piles. Even good blog content gets boring after a while. Readers can't miss you if you won't go away.
Lori--Yes, this old post still seems to have legs. I'd better post an update soon. Slow Bloggers Rule!
We LOVE comments, but we can't allow anonymous ones because of spam problems (like hundreds a day). We moderate comments on posts older than one week, since older posts attract more spam. Make sure you're signed into WordPress or Google before you type your comment or it may disappear. (No, I don't control this stuff.) If you still have trouble commenting, email your comment to me at annerallen dot allen at gmail dot com and I will post it for you.

If we can't plead stupidity, what else is there? How do we live with ourselves? Is it all the stuff we buy that manages to numb our brains and consciences? When I see a headline like this one at Bloomberg today, World Needs Record Saudi Oil Supply as OPEC Convenes, there's just one thought that pops into my head: what the world needs is for us to stop doing this thing we're doing. Even apart from peak oil concerns, it's obvious we're going to run out at some point or another, and it doesn't matter whether that's tomorrow or at some other point in the future, though we do know it's not going to take another 100 years, or even 50. And nothing will ever take the place of oil; once those unique carbons are gone, that's it, we'll have to find a completely different way of running our societies, and if we're not smart enough to prepare for that beforehand, we'll be cats fighting in a sack and use the last scraps to kill off each other. And our legacy won't be the Greek thinkers and Picasso and Dostoyevsky and Walt Whitman and Maria Callas, since there won't be the means for our children anymore to share what makes man great between them. Our main legacy will instead be bloodshed, we will have gone the exact same path that any non-thinking or even primitive organism would have taken, who don't have opera or philosophy or poetry to their name.
Anti-vaccination parents showed up last week in Sacramento threatening to leave the public schools en masse, and the Senate Education Committee crumbled like a batch of overbaked cookies. Sen. Richard Pan (D-Sacramento), who has written legislation that would mandate vaccines for almost all public school students, was forced to take back his bill for revision.
FIVE YEARS ago on April 20, the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded in flames in the Gulf of Mexico, killing 11 men and starting the worst oil spill in U.S. history. Before the well was capped 87 days later on July 15, more than 200 million gallons of oil spilled into the Gulf. Even today, five years after the BP disaster, 60 percent of the 210 million gallons that spilled are unaccounted for, and oil-soaked sand and tar balls continue to wash up on the beaches of the Gulf. Earlier this month, in Grand Isle, La., a family visiting the beach discovered a dead dolphin covered in oil. Last year, tar mats were found on the Mississippi coast. Two years ago, a tar mat covering a quarter of an acre and weighing 40,000 pounds was discovered at a Louisiana beach.

Village of Mukwonago— A Mukwonago woman is charged with stealing from her former employer late last year.
According to a criminal complaint filed on April 10, an officer was dispatched on Dec. 2, 2014 to Asset Management Inc., 807 Swan Drive, for a burglary report. The business' owner said seven $100 bills were missing from his office desk.
The owner said he reviewed surveillance video and discovered at around 8 p.m. Dec. 1, former employee Elizabeth Koty, 37, could be seen walking in the hallway past the video surveillance camera and toward the owner's office.
The business was closed at that time and the owner said Koty was on the property without consent. To the owner's knowledge, Koty did not have keys to the business.
The owner said it's common for him to keep an envelope of cash in his desk to pay for things necessary at work and a few employees — including Koty, whom he paid from his desk a few days before the burglary.

West Bend caretaker accused of stealing from elderly Lac La Belle patient
City of Waukesha - A 37-year-old West Bend woman, who worked in hospice care, reportedly stole and pawned several items from one of her patients to fuel a drug addiction.
The woman, Teresa Fischer, allegedly sold some of the items she's accused of stealing a little more than a week before her patient, a woman from Lac La Belle, died, a criminal complaint says.
Fischer was charged on Wednesday, April 15, in Waukesha County Circuit Court with two felony counts of theft of movable property, and could face up to 12 years in prison and $20,000 in fines if convicted.
According to the criminal complaint, some members of the patient's family discovered that a substantial amount of jewelry, coins, cash and a few firearms were missing when they sorted through the victim's possessions after she passed away last September.
The victim's husband told police about the missing items and said he suspected that a hospice care worker might be responsible for the thefts.

Sheriff's Department Public Information Officer Jennifer Wallschlaeger said the standoff between police and the man ended peacefully after several hours of negotiation.
According to a search warrant affidavit filed April 14, a delivery truck driver reported at about 4:30 p.m. that as he approached the residence he noticed several bullet holes in the front door and that multiple windows appeared to have been shot out.
The man, who will not be named because he hasn't been formally charged with any crimes, was supposedly known by police to be "mentally ill, possibly schizophrenic, very paranoid" and frequently armed, the affidavit said.

Defining The Nineties

Defining the Nineties
By Bonnie Clearwater
Defining the Nineties: Consensus-Making in New York, Miami and Los Angeles sets out to define the characteristics of a new generation of artists who came of age or prominence in a period vastly different from the previous decade, a decade marked by rapid decline of support for the arts by the US government, the crash of the art market and a backlash to the conceptual and political art that dominated the late 1980s.

Yakima LoadWarrior Stretch Net
? Share a...
Here's what others have to say...
Brett Garrett
Works well.
Works as expected. Somewhat hard to untangle if left in a ball.
Must have if you have a loadwarrior.
Karan Mahal
Will this net fit my Nissan Xterrra's roof...
Will this net fit my Nissan Xterrra's roof front basket?
Brian Mehregan
this is meant for the Yakima Loadwarrior which is 44"x 39"x 6.5" so if your Nissan is the same size, then I would say go for it!
A must have!
Keeps stuff from coming out...easy to use...durable
Boston Biosafety
Simple yet...
OK, they do the job as intended, but if you do not store the net properly it turns into a spider web of tangled confusion.
The cord is nice and thick, the hooks are strong. The net will suffer UV damage over time, so be aware as the years go on. Although they do stretch, you are still somewhat limited to smaller items.
No question. It's a must have and it's superb...
If you bought the load warrior then the stretch net is a must have. The rope is much more thick and durable than the picture suggests. The hooks click in place ensuring that gear stays put. Agree with another reviewer that it can get a bit tangled when its off but nonetheless it's a must have addition to the load warrior.
If you get the basket, you cant go without this
Thick, quality rope and plastic hooks keep your stuff in place...WELL. I was stoked when I got it and found out it was stretchy. Your stuff isn't going anywhere. The only bad thing I can say about this is what a huge mess it is when it gets all tangled up
Lider Supremo
Load Warrior Stretch Net
This is the single best "tie-down" piece of equipment out there. No need to mess with knots or single bungees. Will probably buy a second one just to help tie down stuff INSIDE the car's trunk.
Got the net and the basket about a year ago. Great items, keeps lots of stuff snug. Havent had any problem with anything becoming air borne even at high speed or bumping around off road.
Very durable.
You've gotta get this!
This made life sooo much easier. Better than bungee cords! The unique clips they designed snap over the bars very easily and have a great little outside hook that is easy to grasp when taking the net off. 100% satisfied!

Tokyo Skytree
View photo details
January 18, 2013
by Chris Steele-Perkins
View profile
The height of the Tokyo Skytree was originally approximated at 610m. However, from the beginning, the plan was to have the SkyTree exist as the world's tallest freestanding broadcast tower. So, after deliberate research on the competition -- the other high-rise structures being built around the world -- it was finally decided that the tower would stand at 634m so it could hold the Guinness World Record as the world's tallest tower, beating the Canton tower in China.
The world's tallest structure is Dubai's Burj Khalifa, which stands at 828 metres (2,717ft), but that is in a different category because it is classified as a skyscraper – habitable and designed for commercial use.
The Skytree will serve as a broadcast tower for television and radio, as well a tourist attraction. It replaces the 333m tall (1,092.5ft) Tokyo tower – a symbol of Japan's economy since 1958 – as the broadcast hub.
The project was completed on 29 February 2012, with the tower opening to the public on 22 May 2012.

Something's not right...puts the classic but popular Quake III: Arena game and puts it
You misunderstand. There is no support for anything, nor is it needed. You just have a client, which makes use of a web content rendering engine to display highscores and stuff. This rendering engine can be any cross-platform engine, and is simply shipped with the game.
Flash is not an open standard, while OpenGL is, and a Canvas 3D context specification will be. And may I add, Flash has nothing to do with Quake Live.But there is also an open source Flash project
So following your logic, Flash is also ok

I'm not going to argue too strenuously since, yes, it's kindof weird that it has to be a web-browser based thing instead of a standalone client (and that it'd be far more impressive if you didn't need to install anything at all), but on the other hand it does seem like it's easier for them to create and disseminate the game this way. They're basically targeting only a few very related platforms (ie. IE and Firefox) with minor tweaks per-OS (which took them forever grumble grumble, but still). To me it seems like just how one might choose Qt or GTK+ or whatever as a platform, they chose web browsing.
And hey, they went through announcing, developing and releasing a Linux version in far less time than it's taken Epic for UT3 so far And hell if I can get UT1 to run on my modern Linux installs. So compared to their main competition, id is looking good.
I have my opinions, of course, but won't dwell on the open/closed nature of this matter.
All I will say is: This is freaking sweet! Q3A is still in my top 5 favourite games, and I promptly joined QuakeLive when I read the Linux-news yesterday, and had a blast for 2 hours. Will play some games tonight also, for sure. So no complaints from me!
Only for i686 ;/ doesn't work here on amd64 ;x
okay, I was to soon to jump into conclusions ;-) problem was with shiretoko not amd64, as for now the plugin is installed and it's updating. Hope it will work ;-)
Code:about:config -> extra -> change Shiretoko to Firefox and leave rest as it is.
Last edited by Tares; 08-19-2009 at 05:24 PM.
It does run with amd64 too here. I had to update mesa to 7.3 (from 7.0.3) to play it with Intel Q45, but now it runs even on onboard systems or lowend gfx cards. Well the engine is nealy 10 years old, so that should be normal.
Oh geez, quit whining:
- The source is open, this binary-only version is just a nice wrapped-up package to protect their art and content somewhat, which has value to them, and is paid for by ads. If you don't like it go play Nexuiz or something, which is just as good if not better (but the art may not be quite as nice)
- People are complaining that they're shipping a client that requires a browser as opposed to shipping a client AND a browser!?
- Shipping as a plugin means easy installation on all platforms - you just go to the website, authorise it to install, and play. There's no figuring out how to extract an archive, figuring out where to install or where to leave the unpacked client, going through your filesystem to find the executable when you want to play, adding package repositories on OSes that use them etc. It means anyone can play it, not just those that administrate the computers they use.
What the fsck on earth is "shiretoko" ? Why don't you quit whiming and use a standard Firefox so the user agent string does not get messed up to something like "shakakawaraotoko" or some shit like that?
It's not id software's problem, it can't just go ahead and support whatever obsecure crap there are out in the wild. id has always had good attitude towards Linux world and when they take the lead and release a new title like they always do on Linux, you jumped out shouting because they don't support your "shiretoko"? So you think their effort of making Quake Live working on Linux so soon is not enough? Then what is enough for you?

Sublime Text 2.0.2
(Kommerzieller Test)
Sublime Text 2 is a super fast and feature packed text and development editor. If you are going to be coding regularly you want to try this amazing editor (IDE). Following some of the great features that make Sublime Text 2 stand out from other code editors:
- Multiple cursors: Once you have discovered multiple cursors you won't want to work without them anymore. As the name suggests they let you write or edit in multiple places in a document at the same time.
- Vintage mode: Vim keyboard shortcuts will work just like in the original Vim editor. To use them, all you need to do is to enable vintage mode.
- Lightning fast: This is the fastest code editor you will find right now.
- Command pallet: A great feature that allows you to reach about all functions of the editor via the keyboard. You will hardly use your mouse and thus code more efficiently.
- Plugin collection: A hugely active community creates plugins for almost any task in Sublime Text 2. This includes syntax highlighting and code snippets for a large number of languages, for example Javascript, PHP, CSS, HTML, Python, LESS, XML and C++ to name just a few.
- Package control: This add-on let's you install plugins within seconds directly from the editor.

Strasburg, Nats looking to get back on track
WASHINGTON -- After 20 games last season, the Nationals stood at 14-6 and never really faltered from there, cruising to 98 victories and a division title. The early going hasn't been quite so smooth in 2013, but Washington will try to get things headed in the right direction on Wednesday afternoon, when it closes out its three-game series against the Cardinals.
The Nationals are 10-10 -- and own a minus-17 run differential -- at the 20-game mark following Tuesday's 2-0 loss. They will send ace Stephen Strasburg to the hill against Cardinals lefty Jaime Garcia on Wednesday.
"Everybody, there's a lot of times I think they're trying to do too much," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said. "I think some of the pitchers are trying to do too much. Maybe it's from everybody picking us to be a candidate to win our division. Everybody's trying to be a little better than they need to be, instead of just relaxing and going out there and doing what you're capable of doing."
Despite some early inconsistency, Johnson said he isn't worried because, "I know the talent that's there and I know water seeks its level. We'll be fine. We just need to get going."
They will try to do so behind Strasburg (1-3, 2.96 ERA), who has lost three straight starts. In the past two, he has given up only two total earned runs and struck out 13 while walking three. But he also has topped 110 pitches in all three of those outings, despite not pitching into the seventh inning in any of them.
After Strasburg threw only 64 of his 111 pitches for strikes against the Mets last Friday, Johnson described him as, "missing all night, pitching behind hitters all night."
The Cardinals are 5-3 on their current road trip, which ends on Wednesday after stops in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. They can close it out with a series sweep of the Nationals.
"This is a really tough road trip," Allen Craig said. "We're playing some tough teams, and it's a long one. This is a tough place to play."
The Cardinals will turn to Garcia (1-1, 3.22 ERA), who is trying to bounce back from his first poor start of the year, last Friday at Philadelphia. The lefty gave up eight runs, four earned, on nine hits in three innings.
Perhaps it wasn't surprising in that the outing came away from Busch Stadium. In his career, Garcia's ERA is 4.49 on the road, compared with 2.45 at home. The split was even more pronounced last season.
Garcia did pitch well in outings at Nationals Park in 2010 and '11 but struggled there last Aug. 30, giving up six runs in 5 1/3 innings. His overall ERA in Washington is 4.32.
Cardinals: Adams likely to rest another day
Manager Mike Matheny said that first baseman Matt Adams, who is off to a scorching start in a part-time role, "most likely" won't play until Friday as he deals with right oblique tightness. The injury forced Adams to be scratched from Monday's lineup.
The Cardinals are off on Thursday before starting a six-game homestand on Friday against the Pirates.
"We'll continue to listen to what he's saying and how he's responding to the different treatments that they're giving him," Matheny said.
• Center fielder Jon Jay figures to be back in the lineup on Wednesday after sitting against lefty Ross Detwiler on Tuesday. Jay is hitting .197 with a .238 on-base percentage.
Nationals: Johnson not worried about LaRoche
First baseman Adam LaRoche is one of the Nationals struggling to get going at the plate this season. After a 0-for-4 game with four strikeouts on Tuesday, the veteran is hitting .172 with 22 strikeouts.
"I thought he's been swinging the bat good," Johnson said before Tuesday's game. "It just hasn't been falling."
LaRoche entered Tuesday with a .212 average on balls in play, nearly 100 points below his career mark.
• Closer Rafael Soriano was back with the Nationals on Tuesday after missing Monday's game following the birth of his son.
Worth noting
• Strasburg has faced the Cardinals only once, striking out nine over six scoreless innings last Sept. 2 at Nationals Park.
• This will be the Cardinals' 15th road game out of 21 total this year. They are 8-6 so far.

Mike Cahill's 'I Origins' doesn't add up to much
1 + 1 doesn't always have to equal 2. But when the equation for a movie's plot is "mutant worms + tragic love story = unintended cultural insensitivity," most screenwriters might want to recheck their math.
Not writer-director Mike Cahill, whose gobbledygook cinematic algebra can't make up for the fact that he either never learned, or thinks he's beyond, the basics. As a result, Cahill's Me Generation reincarnation film "I Origins" will divide audiences without multiplying them. »Read Full Article
James Brown biopic 'Get On Up' works hard to please
Before Michael Jackson and Mick Jagger moonwalked and strutted across the stage, James Brown burst onto it propelled by hard times and his band the Famous Flames in equal measure.
His life story helps make "Get On Up" the hardest-working musical biopic in show business. It channels a muscular performance by Chadwick Boseman through a prismatic and almost impressionistically told collage of the traumatic, tortured and triumphant events in the hard times and rich life of the Godfather of Soul. »Read Full Article

Wonderful menu card
The design of this menu card completes my calla lilies theme. I was able to personalize it to my color scheme which ties everything together. Fantastic
I used this product as an "in lieu of favor" card to be placed on everyone's plate. I personalized wording and coloring to match my wedding colors. The wording turned out beautiful and the coloring was exactly what was shown on the computer.
I totally recommend using MagnetStreet. I have used them for my Save-The-Date and these cards. I have never been disappointed in the final print.

A Welcome from the President
Colin Campbell
Welcome to the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation's website, a rich collection of resources and attractions provided for Internet guests of the world's largest living-history museum. I'm Colin Campbell, and I have the privilege to be Colonial Williamsburg's president.
On the eve of American Independence, Williamsburg was the capital of England's oldest, wealthiest, and most populous North American colony. It was a community of freemen and slaves, of educators and innkeepers, of merchants and politicians, of tradesmen and lawyers. Here American patriots and British loyalists struggled with the questions of independence, liberty and self-government. Their ultimate answer was revolution.
Visit Colonial Williamsburg's Historic Area, restored to 18th-century authenticity, and walk in the paths of the people whose journeys led to the idea of America. You'll meet, in the persons of gifted character interpreters, George Washington, Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, Gowan Pamphlet, and scores of others, who bequeathed to us a country. You'll walk on the ground where independence was proposed. You'll participate in the debate in the city's streets and shops. And you will stand in the room where the victory at Yorktown was planned.
Colonial Williamsburg offers a family vacation destination, a resort, and an interactive education in 18th-century life and culture. It's dining in the colonial taverns, watching trades people at their crafts, and marching with the Fifes and Drums Corps. It's a carriage ride, a day on the golf course, a stroll through the gardens, a visit to the folk and decorative arts museums, and an afternoon in the Revolutionary City. Colonial Williamsburg offers a seamless adventure in educational recreation in a setting where subjects became citizens and a revolution changed the world.
Use the wealth of the website to explore The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, to meet the people, tour the town, download a podcast, sample a museum exhibit, read a story, research a subject, shop, purchase a ticket, make hotel reservations, and prepare your visit to a place where the future may learn from the past.
Colin G. Campbell
President and CEO

I'm really enjoying this forum! Nice to read good writings and opinions about figure skating all over the world when none of my friends truly understand nothing of this sport! (Except something like "Kiira is beautiful and Laura won something---what was that, I can't remember" :banging
In the country/continent debate, it seems as though the poll is more about which figure skating pole people are from.
I'm surprised that there are so many Europeans! I have kind of assumed that this is a US dominant forum. Thanks for creating a fun poll. I like it!
No Russians yet voted? very surprising!
Also, I thought this is American & Japanese dominant forum, but it's interesting to see many other European users as well.

No, no not at all Strange though with more than 700 views and 55 "votes". What's the problem guys all over the world?
Maybe they see themselves as Europeans
Geographically I live in a country in Europe, but I would never define myself as a "European". Well the, another vote from the country Europe
