The year 2060 is drawing to a close, and Thanksgiving is just around the corner. It's a time for loved ones to come together. But sometimes the deepest hatreds seethe within the closest relationships, and blood flows faster than water....
For Lieutenant Eve Dallas of the NYPSD, the job is a useful reminder of what she has to be grateful for this season. Hosting Roarke's big Irish family for the holiday may be challenging, but it's a joyful improvement on her own dark childhood.
Other couples aren't as lucky as Eve and Roarke. The Reinholds, for example, are lying on the floor of their Downing Street apartment, stabbed and bludgeoned almost beyond recognition. Those who knew them are stunned - and even more heartbroken by the overwhelming evidence that they were murdered by their own son. Twenty-six-year-old Jerry hadn't exactly made a good impression on all the bosses who fired him or the girlfriend who dumped him - but they didn't think he was capable of this.
Turns out Jerry is not only capable of brutality but taking a liking to it. With the money he's stolen from his parents, and a long list of grievances, he intends to finally make his mark on the world. Eve and her team already know the who, how, and why of this murder. What they need to pinpoint is where Jerry's going to strike next.

"Violence vs. Sentiment"
I have stopped buying the print version of J.D. Robb's books because I really enjoy listening to them. I don't think it's better, just a matter of personal preference. I'll probably eventually buy the print version to complete my collection.
Maybe not on the edge of my seat, but it certainly kept me engaged and interested. I didn't enjoy the overly detailed and graphic violence in this book and when I listen to it again I'll fast forward through those parts. But I loved the award ceremony and the family involvement. I am so involved with the characters in this series that the sentiment brought me to tears. I loved the way old characters were brought back and the changes obviously happening to Eve's character as she matures and is finding her personal side. I disagree with those who found this book lacking because of less interaction with the older characters. I think it's perfectly believable that in an investigation that only lasted a few days Eve would not necessarily interact with all of her old friends. The character of the murderer in this book was very strongly drawn and created a contrast between her two worlds. (But I still would like a bit less of the details of the violence.)
The award ceremony and the follow up meeting with friends and family, closely followed by the scene where Nixie presented her gift. Both were moments of growth for Eve and were extremely well done.
I love Nixie and would like to meet her. But I'd invite Roark too so he could pick up the check!
I hope that Nora Roberts never tires of developing this character. I'll never tire of reading about her.
Good Music Lover
I am such a fan of the"In Death" series that I can tell from just a few sentences what book I am listening to without seeing the title. What has made me such a fan is the characters and of course Susan Ericksen's portrayal of them. For me the last few books have been a bit of a let down. The formula of personal life and investigative life for Eve was perfect. Her interactions with friends and even criminals made the stories funny, sad, thoughtful and very entertaining. This book and the one before were just about investigation and the criminal. The person with the biggest voice in this book was the criminal and I just got tired of hearing him call women ugly names and act like a child. There is just something missing from this book. I hope it comes back in the next book because I will definately be buying it. Although I was looking for more, I still love the world of Eve Dallas.
I'm an avid reader since childhood. I'm a retired science teacher, retired nuclear plant worker and grandmother of three. I love mysteries.
"Should have been named Torture In Death"
I love serial books. I love that I follow along as the characters and the world are developed. I love that I saw Mavis from street grifter to cop friend to rock star to wife to mother. More than serials I love mysteries. When I can get both then it's perfect. I don't love explicit sex scenes. Just leave that to my imagination... I don't love hearing about rape--it's dispicable, unforgiveable and the opposite of entertaining. I like, however, that it's the basis for the Eve Dallas character, showing how she deals with it and that she lives with it and that it is the basis for her wanting to protect, defend and seek justice. I've read all the Eve Dallas books and this is the one that makes me wish I had never started. There is no mystery in hunting down a madman. There is no entertainment in hearing, step by step, gleeful torture and murder. If I could clear this from my brain as easily as brushing a bad taste from my mouth I certainly would!
Someone who enjoys following the heinous killings of a psychopath.
Not another Dallas novel by Robb
Disappointment. I have been reading and listening to this series from the start. This one has no plot, lacks the usual interesting dialogue, and was incredibly blatant (the story begins with the killing of a woman with 53 knife thrusts and then goes quickly to a man hit 30 times with a bat.)
"Thankfull for some answers"
I already have. I have listened to the whole series at least 3 times and have some favorites I return to over and over. This is one of the best. Each book you get the chance to watch the characters grow.
There are two in this book, the medals ceremony and the surprise, both brought tears to my eyes and joy in the deep
Susan is In Death, she makes these books come alive. She brings life and personality to every character I can't hear in my head anyone else reading these books.
All of the In Death books make me laugh,cry, think and even feel anger. Most of them I want to listen to over and over
I look forward to the next one that is out in a few days and hate waiting for more.
Totally addicted to Audible.
"Eve is growing."
I really liked this book and would have given it 5 stars but for the graphic violence. There is a lot about the killer and his mentality - probably too much, but I fault the editor for that. I found myself removing my earbuds during the violent scenes - so be warned. But I loved how Eve has come to value the people in her life more than her career. I love the family - especially the football game and Granny fussing at Roarke. It was funny and touching. It sets the scene for the books ahead we all crave.
"Eve, Roarke and Friends are back!"
I have read this series from the beginning and have enjoyed the series and always excited to see another book has come out, can't believe this is number 37! I have grown to love all the characters which have been so nicely developed over the years. Eve and Roarke's adventures will always be a favorite of mine. But, I have to say that some of the violence in the book is so graphically detailed it is disturbing. I understand that the bad guy is a sick, twisted criminal, as the whole series revolves around a futuristic homicide detective, but I don't need explicit details about how he carves up people and gets off on it. Being a fan of the police procedural genre, I have read many books which revolve around homicide that convey to the reader that same sense of out of control insanity, without a blow by blow account of every detail.
"If you enjoy sadistic torture murders"
Build on the entertaining characters and plots similar to the other novels by JD Robb.
Loose the graphic details of the sociopaths murder spree.
Great narration which was the salvation for this story.
The gratuitous, gory detailed death scenes.
"4.5 Stars for Eve and Roarke!"
Violent, Frustrating, Poignant
Eve and Roarke. I consider them a unit and their partnership is one of the reasons I love the In Death series in general. A reader can tell that they love and respect each other.
Outstanding, like always.
I did. In Death books are very page-turning. You want to find out when and where Eve will catch the killer. This one was different in particular because she knew who the killer was. Similar to Treachery in Death. She knows who the villain is so it was frustrating the he kept alluding her.
Love books, preferably romance and suspense. Typically read/listen to 3-5 a week.
"A Little Disappointed"
I am an avid fan of the In Death Series. I can't want for each installment. I was a bit disappointed with this one. I was so hoping for something outstanding. when I heard Eve was finally getting some of what she deserves I had anxiety. I was so outdone she turns the Capt job down. Why bring it up if it was not going to amount to anything. It was a bit let down for me.
I usually really enjoy all the books. I enjoyed this one too, but I think I was expecting to see some things we have been waiting for like, the candy thief, Eve finally getting her promotion. You are the author, you can have her be Captain and do her job as she likes. Why toy with us. After waiting 6 months for this book to come out and it comes up short for me.
I still enjoyed the story and I love the formula but Nora, you have to engage the other characters more like the older books. I love that Nixie showed up and Elizabeth and Richard, but it was not enough. I think you focused too much on the killer. All the stuff about him you could have been giving us more story on the regulars and even Eve and Roarke.
All in all this was a good book but certainly not one of her best. It is one I will listen to more than once, but still I felt it was lacking some of the zest the books normally have.
I hope some of the issues are revealed/ resolved soon. I don't think I will get tired of the books, but I am getting tired of waiting for some answers.
"Good listen"
A good addition to the series. The murderer is known from the beginning and the passages from his weird point of view are quite creepy. Lots of humour to balance out the horrors. I love the way the characters are growing and evolving and Eve's softer side is coming out more, there were some quite emotional moments too. Susan Ericksen's narration of this series is excellent.
"Great new story"
Brilliant engaging warm
The way all the characters interact and the way the story evolves
Wonderful reading, makes you feel part of the story
something to be thankful for in more ways that one
J D Robb does it again. Really enjoyed this latest Dallas
"Great story, shame about the Narrator"
Her characterisation of 'Peabody' was dreadful - really whiney and nasal. Her Irish accent was dreadful and it really distracted me from the book
i love all of the J D Robb 'In Death' books but won't be listening to them again narrated by Susan Ericksen

Archaeology of the Chinese Bronze Age: From Erlitou to Anyang
Archaeology of the Chinese Bronze Age: From Erlitou to Anyang
By Roderick B. Campbell
Publication Date: August 2014
Series: Monograph 79
Price: $55.00
Buy this book! Order from the University of New Mexico Press today.
Archaeology of the Chinese Bronze Age is a synthesis of recent Chinese archaeological work on the second millennium BCE-the period associated with China's first dynasties and East Asia's first "states." With a focus on early China's great metropolitan centers in the Central Plains and their hinterlands, this work attempts to contextualize them within their wider zones of interaction from the Yangtze to the edge of the Mongolian steppe, and from the Yellow Sea to the Tibetan plateau and the Gansu corridor. Analyzing the complexity of early Chinese culture history, and the variety and development of its urban formations, Roderick Campbell explores East Asia's divergent developmental paths and re-examines its deep past to contribute to a more nuanced understanding of China's Early Bronze Age.

Minneapolis, MN (SportsNetwork.com) - Flip Saunders is reportedly heading back to the Minnesota bench.
The Timberwolves need a coach to replace the retired Rick Adelman and multiple media outlets, including KSTP-TV and KMSP-TV in Minneapolis, are reporting that Saunders will return to the position he held for parts of 10 seasons from 1995-2005.
Saunders oversaw the most successful era of the franchise's history in his first go-round as coach and returned to the organization in May 2013 as president of basketball operations. He also took a minority ownership stake in the team.
The Timberwolves won at least 50 games four times under Saunders, including a franchise-best 58-24 record in 2003-04, a season that ended with an appearance in the Western Conference finals. The team started 25-26 the following season, resulting in Saunders' dismissal.
Saunders also spent time as head coach of the Detroit Pistons and Washington Wizards before his return to the Twin Cities. He has a record of 638-526 in parts of 16 seasons, including 411-326 with the Wolves.
Adelman spent three seasons with the Wolves and 23 years as a head coach in the NBA. He guided Minnesota to a record of 97-133, including 40-42 this past season. The Wolves missed the playoffs for the 10th straight year, but the 40 wins were the club's most since a 44-38 mark in 2004-05.

4 u folks who complain about lack of oil drilling
by grimgraphix - 11/12/12 8:56 AM
The United States will overtake Saudi Arabia to become the world's biggest oil producer before 2020, and will be energy independent 10 years later, according to a new forecast by the International Energy Agency.
The recent resurgence in oil and gas production, and efforts to make the transport sector more efficient, are radically reshaping the nation's energy market, reported Paris-based IEA in its World Energy Outlook.
I'm tired of hearing y'all complain about how the US oil industry needs to be unregulated and how Obama has crippled the industry to the point of failure. Does this projection look like failure?

Sex, drugs and HIV — let's get rational
Armed with bracing logic, wit and her "public-health nerd" glasses, Elizabeth Pisani reveals the myriad of inconsistencies in today's political systems that prevent our dollars from effectively fighting the spread of HIV. Her research with at-risk populations — from junkies in prison to sex workers on the street in Cambodia — demonstrates the sometimes counter-intuitive measures that could stall the spread of this devastating disease.

OXFORD, Ohio - Miami University's women's swimming team blew the Xavier musketeers out of the water Saturday, Oct. 20 when they competed in their season opener at the Corwin A. Nixon Aquatic Center. Defeating Xavier 154.5 points to 81.5, the RedHawks showed depth and leadership, earning first-place finishes in all 13 events.
"It was a solid weekend," head coach Dave Jennings said. "I thought we were a little shaky last night at Purdue, but I think they kind of readjusted and figured out what they were doing, and came back and did a nice job today."
Miami showed impressive talent from its freshman class when two rookies took the top two spots in the 1000-yard freestyle. Katie Blodgett swam to a first-place finish in a time of 10:28.25, earning nine points for her team. Teammate Christina Favia touched the wall four seconds later in a time of 10:32.17.
Jennings said the freshman class really stepped up, helping their team to the first win of the season.
First-place finishes just kept coming for Miami when Bekka Westrick finished in 1:53.12 in the 200 freestyle. Westrick earned her second first-place finish of the day in the 200 backstroke, touching the wall at 2:08.57. Teammate Maddie Kete finished second in the 200 free with a time of 1:55.41. Sophomore Emma Craig, right on Kete's heels, finished in 1:56.59.
Senior Stacia Schacter swam to a No.1 finish in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:07.29. One event later, senior Maegan O'Connor sprinted to a top finish in the 100 backstroke, hitting the wall at 58.66.
Senior Leah Thorton led the RedHawks in the 200 butterfly, touching the wall first in 2:08.02. Thornton then posted a top exhibition time in the 100 butterfly when she finished the race in 58.34.
Three RedHawks raced each other to the top three spots in the 50-yard freestyle. Donovan earned the top placing, touching the wall in 24.02. Sara Krueger placed second in 24.28 and Annie Marquiss finished in 24.31.
Every Miami swimmer seemed to have an opportunity to win a race Saturday. Barhorst took first in the 100 free with a time of 53.28. Marquiss finished second in 53.81. In the 200 breaststroke, it was Gabbie Pettinichi's turn, winning the event in 2:26.31. It was Aubrey Kluth's turn in the 500 free when she earned her first-place finish of the day in a time of 5:06.22. Senior Stacie Clagg posted the top exhibition time of the day in the 400 IM, touching the wall in 4:31.02. Kluth finished second in the race with a time of 4:32.28.
The RedHawks dominated the two relays of the day, taking the top four spots in the 400 yard medley relay and the top spot in the 400 freestyle relay. O'Connor, Krueger, sophomore Brianna Fujan, and junior Nicole Wagner took first in the 400 medley with a time of 3:58.66. Fujan, Donovan, Westrick, and Kete earned another victory in the 400 freestyle relay with a time of 3:32.60.
The women's team will be back in the pool Friday, Oct. 26 for their second home meet of the season against Evansville.

Academic research: 'Huge growth' in fact checking by the media
As some wring their hands about a decline in newsroom resources and quality, there's a "huge growth" in fact checking in the coverage of politics, according to a new academic study.
Several thousand papers were delivered at the Midwest Political Science Association conference, including, "Where and Why Do Journalists Fact-Check." The paper contends that reporters now fact-check politicians more than ever. One co-author describes it as an "explosion" that coincides with an obvious growth in the coverage of national politics.
"Every single elite organization engages in visible fact checking of politics," Lucas Graves of the University of Wisconsin told a small audience on Thursday as he sketched the study's preliminary findings.
"There are scores of dedicated fact-checking outlets that didn't exist even five years ago."
He cited the first dedicated fact-checking site as Spinsanity, launched in 2001 by one of his co-authors, Brendan Nyhan of Dartmouth College. Read more

HAZARD—On the third day of the open enrollment for Kentucky's health care exchange, it seems local residents still have just as many unanswered questions as they did a few months ago.
Hazard resident Leah Stone tried Tuesday morning to access the website for kynect, Kentucky's health benefits exchange (HBE), to browse through some of the options she and her family may have with the new health care laws.
"I was just trying to get on there and look and research and I really didn't have much luck," Stone said. "I mean, I didn't have a problem getting on the website, I just didn't have much luck getting my questions answered."
Glitches and long load times were reported by users of the site on Oct. 1, the first day for open enrollment. According to the Associated Press, there have been no new issues reported since the glitches were fixed on Tuesday by adding processing power to computers and two more servers to the site.
Stone, who lives with her husband two sons, said she is not sure what to expect when she does get to enroll because of her family's situation.
"I'm not going to make any quick decisions, but I would have liked to have been able to have gotten on there and read about it and I didn't have any luck doing that," she said.
Lt. Governor Jerry Abramson said on Tuesday that there was no need to rush into the process. With citizens having six months, or until March 2014, to enroll in a plan, everyone should take the time to shop around and make sure all of their questions are answered by professionals first before they form an opinion or make a decision.
"We're just trying to carry the message out that now's the time to check, enrollment is beginning, thousands of Kentuckians have already engaged," Abramson said at a kynect kickoff held at the Hazard ARH. "When we look back in history, we'll remember October 1 as when over 650,000 Kentuckians will begin to enroll and will look forward to having for the first time insurance for themselves and for their families."
And while Stone said she does not lack faith in the HBE, she still needs her questions answered before she can make any kind of decisions.
"I'm going to be patient, I'm going to wait and see. I'm not going to panic just because they've got a few glitches going in," she said.
Last month, multiple agencies and organizations began to prepare for the open enrollment by having members of their staffs trained on the process. Millie Dee Stevens said she and Krystal Brown were currently the only two "kynectors" in Perry County certified to assist people with the HBE and answer any questions they may have about kynect.
"We'll be out in the community doing outreach programs where we'll be able to help," Stevens said. "We'll have a laptop with us where we can do pre-applications, and in that pre-application form they can get an instant response as to what program, where they fall in the income guidelines."
Stevens added that she and Brown will also be available at their office at the Little Flower Free Clinic in Hazard.
"We can't recommend or suggest, but we can help them enroll. Basically what we will do is we will talk to them about what options are available to them and what each plan includes and then they have to decide from there," she said.
Two insurance companies offer four levels of coverage — bronze, silver, gold, and platinum — based on premium costs and co-pays, Abramson said. Another option for coverage that has not been widely reported on is the catastrophic insurance.
"For all you under-30-year-old, we call you the invincibles because you think nothing can touch you," Abramson said.
For those individuals under 30 who can't find coverage for less than 8 percent of their income, and who want to avoid the penalty of not having insurance come March 2014 but feel like they do not need much coverage, the catastrophic plan is the cheapest and still covers essential and preventative health care.
Stone said she is going to remain optomistic and continue trying to have her questions answered.
"I'm going to wait a few days and talk to some of the specialists and ask my questions and then go back on there and see what we're qualified for and if we're going to go that route," she said.

12/6/13 Amanda Bynes out of Rehab
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Friday, December 6, 2013
Former South African President NELSON MANDELA passed away yesterday. He was 95. Current South African President Jacob Zuma announced his death in a statement . . . adding, quote, "He passed on peacefully in the company of his family . . . He's now resting. He's now at peace. Our nation has lost its greatest son."
Amanda Bynes is out of rehab and back home with her parents. Amanda was released from the rehab facility in Malibu earlier this week and placed into the custody of her parents. She had been getting treated for schizophrenia and bi-polar disorder. The family lawyer said, "Amanda has completed her inpatient rehabilitation and she's feeling better every day."
Meanwhile, a judge in New York City was very upset that Amanda Bynes missed her court appearance regarding her bong throwing arrest. Bynes had a hearing yesterday and when she wasn't there the judge was visibly irritated, saying Bynes must appear for the next hearing or else a warrant will be ordered.
Sources say KRISTEN STEWART has switched from Team Edward to Team Jacob in real life. In other words, she's now dating the other member of her "Twilight" love triangle, TAYLOR LAUTNER. Witnesses supposedly saw Taylor sneaking out of Kristen's house early Wednesday morning. Obviously that doesn't necessarily mean anything. But on the Internet, it means EVERYTHING.
ASHTON KUTCHER finally got out of his marriage to DEMI MOORE, so you can forgive him if he's being a little careful about his future. Unless you're MILA KUNIS, that is. The "National Enquirer" says they're fighting over wedding plans because he wants a prenup . . . and she's PISSED.
12/5/13 New Celeb Hook-Ups
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Thursday, December 5, 2013
There have already been rumors that something could be brewing between MIRANDA KERR and LEONARDO DICAPRIO. And now there's talk that ORLANDO BLOOM dating LIV TYLER. They've been friends for years, and starred in the "Lord of the Rings" movies together. And sources say they "got cozy" backstage at a Broadway show recently . . . quote, "They were playfully tickling, gazing into each other's eyes and holding hands." Orlando and Miranda recently split up after six years together, and three years of marriage.
LINDSAY LOHAN might be sharing herself with LIAM NEESON'S son Michael. The only problem . . . if you consider this a problem . . . is that she's 27 and he's 18. Sources say they were partying at a club on Friday night, and at one point they went hand-in-hand into the women's bathroom. Lindsay has also been dating a 19-year-old male model, and he was there, too.
LIAM HEMSWORTH had the perfect opportunity to flee, so if this is true, I have no sympathy for him, no matter what happens next . . . "Us Weekly" claims Liam wants MILEY CYRUS back, and they've been secretly meeting up and talking. But Miley is having doubts . . . quote, "She's confused about how she feels."
KERI RUSSELL'S New York City townhouse was burglarized early Wednesday morning while she slept. She woke up during the robbery, but the thieves got away with a purse, a necklace and a laptop. They were arrested a few blocks away ripping off another house, and Keri got all her stuff back.
The L.A. County Coroner released PAUL WALKER'S cause of death yesterday. He died from injuries suffered in the crash, AND from burning when the Porsche Carerra GT caught on fire.

Paul Walker anonymously purchased an engagement ring for a soldier's fiancée. --A worker at a jewelry store in Santa Barbara, California says the soldier who had just completed his first tour of duty in Iraq came into the store with his fiancée to buy a ring prior to heading overseas again. She saw a ring she really liked but he told her he couldn't afford it. Walker was in the store at the time and overheard the conversation, so he bought the $10,000 ring and told the workers he wanted to remain anonymous. When the couple asked who bought the ring for them, the workers honored his wish: They wouldn't tell.

12/2/13 Paul Walker Killed
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Monday, December 2, 2013
Actor PAUL WALKER was killed in a HORRIFIC car crash on Saturday afternoon. He was just 40 years old. Paul was most famous for starring in the "Fast and the Furious" movies. He played Brian O'Conner in all the movies except the THIRD one, "Tokyo Drift". Here's what you need to know: Paul was in Valencia, California . . . just north of Los Angeles . . . to attend an event his charity organization was putting on for typhoon victims in the Philippines. The event was co-sponsored by a high-performance car shop called Always Evolving, which is owned by a former race car driver named Roger Rodas. Roger was a close friend of Paul's, and Paul was an investor in his shop. At around 3:00 P.M., Paul and Roger decided to go for a joy ride in Roger's 2005 Porsche Carrera GT . . . in an industrial park near the shop. But Roger lost control, they crashed into a light pole, and the car immediately EXPLODED. Roger and Paul were both killed instantly. Employees from the shop heard the crash and rushed over . . . but they couldn't put out the fire. The fire department eventually got there and put it out, but by that point the car was burnt to the point of being unrecognizable. The Los Angeles County sheriff's department says speed was a factor. A 45 mile per hour speed limit sign was attached to the light post they hit. A witness to the wreckage said, quote, "It was clear the car had hit two trees then finally hit a street lamppost. Parts of the car were strewn everywhere on the street, as far as 150 feet."
"I didn't see any skid marks. Where the car had crashed was on a long straightaway. How fast they were going, I don't know." The road near the crash site showed burned rubber and doughnut marks. But officials don't know if the marks in the road are related to the crash. Since this was just outside the car shop, there may have been other "joy rides" in the area. Paul's 15-year-old daughter Meadow was at the charity event . . . along with Roger's eight-year-old son . . . and both may have witnessed the crash.
JOE JONAS admits that he lost his virginity at the age of 20, about four years ago. He doesn't say who with, but he does also note that he was in a relationship with ASHLEY GREENE from "Twilight" when he was 20. Joe also says he smoked pot for the first time with MILEY CYRUS and DEMI LOVATO when he was 17 or 18.
ROSEANNE BARR went on a BIG tirade on Twitter over the weekend, after apparently failing in an attempt to develop a new TV show. She went on and on about how badly she's being treated by Hollywood . . . and added, quote, "I'm never going to work in TV again. I'm never going to even attempt it."
Charlie Sheen wants his ex Brooke Mueller out of the house he bought her. Sources say Charlie is aggressively selling the house from under Mueller, and is telling friends he'd 'gladly take a dollar just to get her far away. The sources say his lawyer sent her a letter saying she has to pack her bags and leave the house. The house is in the same gated community where Sheen lives. Reportedly, he wants her very far away from him.

GARETH DUNCAN looks ahead to the U18 Craven Week unofficial final between the Blue Bulls and Golden Lions.
The Bulls were expected to qualify for the unofficial final this year as they were touted as one of the front runners with a strong squad. They met these expectations with good wins over WP (47-27) and the Pumas (36-10).
The Lions weren't seen as favourites, but surprised many with their 17-8 triumph of day one stars KZN (who downed last year's unofficial champions Free State 48-24). They weren't convincing in their 29-14 win over Border in their first match, with late tries contributing to the deficit, but head coach Wynand Moolman says this was all part of the plan.
'According to tournament rules, all 22 boys need to play one full match. This means you have to prepare two different teams in a short space of time, which is difficult,' Moolman told keo.co.za's Schoolboy Derby. 'So I played most of the reserves against Border, so I knew we'd struggle a bit. But we dug deep, and got the win. This boosted the players' confidence.
'This allowed us to field our strongest team against KZN. We knew they didn't experience much tackling in their first game, so we brought some big hits and were strong up front. This laid the platform for the win.'
The two teams will field their strongest teams in Saturday's clash, which is expected to be determined by the strong pack of forwards.
After sunny conditions on day one and two, the rain has arrived on the east coast. It's set to be a titanic battle, especially among the front rows as the Bulls boast manpower of 331kg and the Lions have 319kg among their props and hooker.
Bulls head coach Riaan Brandt believes the wet weather will disrupt his team's game plan, but he's positive his heavies can do the job.
'In our match against WP and the Pumas, our forwards laid the platform for our backline to run riot,' Brandt also told this site. 'But with the rain, it will take most of our backline's influence out of the game. Our forwards will have to step up. They've done well so far, and I'm confident we can follow through with that momentum.'
Like against KZN, the Lions will be considered the underdogs for the unofficial final. But Moolman doesn't mind this tag.
'People will believe the Bulls are the favourites, and we won't mind that,' says Moolman. 'We will have our best team on the field, and we proved against KZN that our forwards are a force. This is our second consecutive unofficial final, so some of the senior players' experience will help our cause. There are also six Grade 11 pupils in our squad, so that bodes well for the future.
'We're looking forward to the challenge.'

By Michael on 9/2/2014 Michael would recommend this product to a friend Instantly solved my TDS problem. I had been struggling with TDS readings from 3-10 for several months. New filters did not solve my problem. I installed the BRS DI Canister and my TDS went to zero. As usual with BRS, the item was top quality and shipping was fast. Works great! By Van on 6/1/2014 Van would recommend this product to a friend I have an RO filtration system at home for drinking water. It's a great system but not good enough for tank water IMO so I decided to add this canister. Installation was a breeze - I tee'd off the final output of the RO system to this DI canister and so far, it works great! TDS went from 15-20 to a solid 0 and has remained this for months now. Very happy with it and my fish/corals are having a blast as well. DI By Rich on 3/31/2014 Rich would recommend this product to a friend A great purchase well constructed can be installed in minutes and really removes TDS a must have for the water quality you need in the tank perfect! By matt on 3/5/2014 matt would recommend this product to a friend After my RO unit it was still at 70 TDS. This unit pulled it down to 0 and has made over 100 gallons so far keeping my fish and coral very happy! Works Great. By Red7Xero on 1/21/2014 Red7Xero would recommend this product to a friend My old DI resin was 1 year old and still had an output of 0ppm, I decided to change it out with my carbon and sediment filters. And because I wanted to add another carbon to the mix, I bought this to add another stage and with it including the DI made it an easy purchase. After installing the sediment, 2 carbons, and the new DI units, taking around 10mins, thanks to BRS TV series, it worked like a charm. Thanks again BRS. update on earlier review By Aquaticfan on 1/7/2014 Aquaticfan would recommend this product to a friend I am sad to report that the system can not handle the high TDS still coming from my existing Water softener system. I thought it could but after a 5 gallon fill, the TDS is rising. I will have to get an RO system to connect it too. I still love the product though. Excellent canister By Aquaticfan on 12/18/2013 Aquaticfan would recommend this product to a friend I am so happy with this canister. I had a TDS of 178 before and now its Zero. I currently had a Pelican Water system on the entire house but needed that extra DI stage for the tank. This worked perfectly, I had to go to Home Depot to buy a few more parts to be able to hook it up to the spikit that has filtered water but I am very happy. Would definitely recommend. No more buying water and lugging those 5 gallon jugs. Yippee Perfect upgrade By Marty on 12/11/2013 Marty would recommend this product to a friend Sturdy, high quality canister. Included resin was color changing. Installed quickly and took my 3ppm to 0ppm. Very good upgrade to my current ro system. DI Canister By slvrwolf on 10/14/2013 slvrwolf would recommend this product to a friend This product was extremely easy to install and get going. I also purchased a TDS meter able to show two different readings and it was amazing how much this changed the readings from out of my RO system and out of this DI filter. I live in a city in central Texas and the water is probably one of the worst in the country. This filter truely is amazing! I am sure my aquarium inhabitants are thanking me. worked great By davem on 10/7/2013 davem would recommend this product to a friend Took tds down to zero in no ime flat Well worth the money! By Matt K on 7/15/2013 Matt K would recommend this product to a friend If you've been thinking about getting this DI canister, don't think... just click "Add to Cart". You'l be glad you did. Installation couldn't be easier. The canister is well-made, Top Notch! And it brought my TDS levels to ZERO (my old pass through DI filter was always around 3 TDS). Now I know my water is truly pure. DI canister By Adam on 6/14/2013 Adam would recommend this product to a friend Took me about 20 seconds to get it going.

Kassab Dominates with Seven Goals as Women's Lacrosse Opens Conference Play with 18-6 Win over Converse
February 20, 2013
ALBEMARLE, N.C. - Pfeiffer University opened up 2013 Conference Carolinas play with an 18-6 victory over Converse College in women's lacrosse action on Wednesday afternoon. The Lady Falcons improve to 2-0 overall, 1-0 in league play while the Valkyries fall to 0-3, 0-2.
Shannon Bonnel scored the game's first goal for Pfeiffer 34 seconds in until Converse responded with goals from Jordy Taylor and Sam Green to take a 2-1 lead. The Lady Falcons would go on to score the next eight goals grabbing a 9-3 halftime lead. Ashleigh Kassab would score four of her seven goals in that stretch to help guide the Lady Falcons. Green would add her second just before the half expired for Converse.
In the second, Sarah Daly, along with Kassab, opened up scoring before Converse added three-straight as Green completed her hat trick. Pfeiffer would go on to register the final seven goals with two coming from Kassab and two from Kristi Korn.
Behind Kassab's seven, Korn would finish with three on the day while Carly Garrison, Daly and Bonnel each scored one. Garrison would also add a game-high three assists while Kassab added two helpers. Kassab's dominance continued with a game-high five groundballs, five draw controls and four caused turnovers.
The Lady Falcons are back in action next Tuesday hosting Florida Southern at 3:00 p.m. Live stats will be available through http://www.gofalconsports.com.

Mind the Gap: How Sales Operations Can Overcome Five Customer Information Gaps in Salesforce
Lockton is the world's largest private insurance broker. Their goal is to achieve 95% client retention. The company, which operates in 60 countries, successfully adopted Salesforce to empower 4,450 associates to continually improve cross-sell and up-sell to existing clients.
To succeed, the director of operations at Lockton knew that the associates need to know who their customers and prospects are and which products and services they already have. When he investigated, he found several customer information gaps in Salesforce.
Below are five customer information gaps in Salesforce CRM that can impact sales:
Gap #1: Which customer record can I trust?
Before reaching out to a customer (let's use fictitious client Mark Niles), the sales rep needs to access Mark's contact information in Salesforce. Chances are Mark Niles' customer information is spread across multiple duplicate lead, account and opportunity records with inaccuracies, inconsistencies and incomplete information. For example, potentially four records exist in Salesforce for one customer 1) Mark Niles 2) Marc Niles 3) M. Niles 4) Mark. The customer information gap becomes worse when a company has multiple Salesforce orgs. Sales dilemma: Which Salesforce customer record can I trust and update?
Gap#2: Which products and services does my customer already have?
Before a sales rep can identify which product or service to offer Mark Niles, she needs to know which ones Mark already has and if he has any outstanding issues. Chances are Mark Niles' product information is stored in enterprise systems such as SAP, Oracle or JD Edwards ERP, customer support systems and maybe cloud applications such as NetSuite and Eloqua that are not integrated with Salesforce. Sales dilemma: Why can't I access all relevant customer information from my Salesforce customer record?
Gap #3: What is impacting my customer right now?
Sales reps want to be up-to-date before reaching out to customers. They may need to go outside of Salesforce to get information such as credit scores and news announcements that may impact the timing of customer contact and the conversation. Sales dilemma: Why can't relevant third-party data be included in my Salesforce customer record? (more…)

HAVELOCK — Both Havelock and Orange entered Friday's Eastern 3-A Regional Championship game giving up just 10 points per game. In a battle of the best defenses,
The Rams forced two turnovers, as Pharoh Cooper and Julian Cuthbertson each recovered fumbles. For Cooper, who plays safety, it was his first fumble recovery of the year.
"I don't think I ever had one before," said Cooper. "I know it's my first one this year."
In all,
Center of attention
Howard at one point had to leave the game for a few plays in the first quarter with a bloody mouth and was replaced by David Lynch, who also is listed as 175 pounds.
No matter, the Rams scored on the drive anyway, getting a 13-yard touchdown run from Cooper.
Just for kicks
Known as a standout soccer player for the Rams, Kemble drilled consistently high and deep kickoffs – and along with good kickoff coverage - kept
Meanwhile, fellow kicker Dylan Baker hit on all six of his extra point attempts for the Rams.
Balanced offense
The Rams totaled 262 yards rushing and 258 yards passing in the contest.
"We've got great linemen, great receivers and great running backs," said Cooper, who threw for 248 yards and rushed for another 98, accounting for four touchdowns from the quarterback position. "I thank my team every time I get a chance to because they really make some holes."
Not about football

Very Cute Tried these on in the store and I immediately knew I had to have them. These jeans are so cute and comfy. Although, I kind of wish they weren't ripped, only because I love the dot print so much. March 11, 2014
So cute I really love these jeans. They fit great and can really give an outfit a little extra oomph. March 7, 2014
Best jeans ever! I originally thought these looked silly then I ordered them and oh my gosh they are soooo cute! I wore them with a long, fitted sweater and tan Sperry's and they were adorable. I'm 5'4", 125 pounds and got a size 2. Very soft and stretchy. Held their fit nicely through the whole afternoon/night. LOVE!! Definitely will wear these a lot this spring. Would look cute with any type of plain top! March 7, 2014
Cute but hard to style I purchased these jeans, with the intention of mixing up my wardrobe in the pants department. They are cute and fit well, but I'm having a bit of a hard time figuring out how to style them. I wore them with Toms, and I'm not sure thats the way to go. They would probably look best with heels, as styled on the Express website. I'm sure they will also look very cute in the spring with shorter sleeves or tanks. March 5, 2014
perfect for spring These are really cute jeans. They fit well and are comfortable but they did get a tiny bit loose after a few hours. I own a handful of Stella jeans and don't normally have that problem but I might have just gotten a bad pair since no one else really said that they get loose on them. Still worth trying on to see how they fit on you. March 1, 2014

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To detect a thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) deficiency and determine your risk of developing severe side effects if treated with the class of immune-suppressing thiopurine drugs that includes azathioprine, mercaptopurine, and thioguanine
When to Get Tested?
Typically, prior to thiopurine drug treatment; this is a specialized test and is not routinely ordered.
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm or a swab from inside your cheek (i.e., buccal swab)
Test Preparation Needed?
For measuring TPMT enzyme activity (TPMT phenotyping), the test must be performed prior to taking a thiopurine drug since it may affect results; for the genetic test (TPMT genotyping), no specific test preparation is needed.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) is an enzyme that breaks down (metabolizes) a class of drugs called thiopurines. These drugs are used to suppress the immune system and are prescribed to treat various immune-related conditions or blood disorders (e.g., leukemia). The activity level of the TPMT enzyme, or the genetics underlying the enzyme's activity, is tested before thiopurine drug therapy to make sure that individuals treated with the drugs can metabolize them.
Examples of thiopurines include azathioprine, mercaptopurine, and thioguanine. These medications are used to treat diseases such as acute lymphoblastic leukemia, inflammatory bowel disease, and autoimmune disorders. They may also be prescribed for organ transplant recipients to help delay or prevent organ rejection. If someone's TPMT activity is too low, the person may not effectively metabolize thiopurines, which can lead to severe side effects.
About one person in every 300 is severely deficient in TPMT, and about 10% of the population in the U.S. has lower than normal levels of TPMT. Individuals in both categories are at an increased risk for thiopurine drug toxicity, which can include suppression of the bone marrow (myelosuppression) and/or very reduced levels of blood cells (hematopoetic toxicity). These side effects can cause an individual to become severely ill and may even be life-threatening. These side effects can be avoided if TPMT production is tested before starting thiopurine treatment.
There are two ways to determine whether an individual is at risk of side effects from thiopurine therapy:
- TPMT activity test (phenotype)—this method tests the activity level of the enzyme thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) in a person's red blood cells. Depending on the enzyme activity level, a person may be prescribed a standard dose of the thiopurine drug, a reduced dose of the thiopurine drug, or a different drug other than a thiopurine.
- TPMT genetic test (genotype)—an alternative test to TPMT enzyme activity level is a genetic test that can identify genetic variations in the TPMT gene. This genetic test identifies individual genetic differences associated with risk for thiopurine toxicity. Each person has two copies of the TPMT gene. Most people have two copies of "wild type" TPMT that produce sufficient TPMT enzyme. Approximately 10% of people have one wild-type gene and one gene variation associated with decreased TPMT (heterozygous) and intermediate activity. Approximately one in 300 individuals have two copies of TPMT with variations resulting in little or no enzyme activity (homozygous). While numerous variations can occur in TPMT, there are five variations in particular that have been proven to be associated with TPMT deficiencies. Most genetic tests look for these five variations, although depending on the method used, more variations can be detected.
This genetic test provides information about a person's likely response to thiopurines, but it will not quantify how much TPMT enzyme is actually being made by the body. There can be significant person-to-person and ethnic variability in TPMT production, even in people with the same gene variations.
A third, different kind of test may be used after thiopurine treatment begins. A test that measures thiopurine breakdown products (thiopurine metabolites) may be used to monitor therapy and adjust doses. For more on this, see Common Questions #1.
How is the sample collected for testing?
For both genetic and enzyme activity testing, a blood sample is taken by needle from a vein in the arm. Alternatively, for the genetic test alone, a swab of cells from the inside cheek (buccal swab) may be collected.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
For the method that measures TPMT enzyme activity, taking a thiopurine drug could lead to falsely low results, so the test should be performed prior to starting therapy. For the genetic test (TPMT genotyping), no specific test preparation is needed.

Solving 3DES incompatibilities with .NET's TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider
mcrypt's 3DES only accepts 192 bit keys, but Microsoft's .NET and many other tools accept both 128 and 192 bit keys.
If your key is too short, mcrypt will 'helpfully' pad null characters onto the end, but .NET refuses to use a key where the last third is all null (this is a Bad Key). This prevents you from emulating mcrypt's "short key" behaviour in .NET.
How to reconcile this? A little DES theory is in order
3DES runs the DES algorithm three times, using each third of your 192 bit key as the 64 bit DES key
Encrypt Key1 -> Decrypt Key2 -> Encrypt Key3
and both .NET and PHP's mcrypt do this the same way.
The problem arises in short key mode on .NET, since 128 bits is only two 64 bit DES keys
The algorithm that they use then is:
Encrypt Key1 -> Decrypt Key2 -> Encrypt Key1
mcrypt does not have this mode of operation natively.
but before you go and start running DES three times yourself, here's a Quick Fix
$my_key = "12345678abcdefgh"; // a 128 bit (16 byte) key
$my_key .= substr($my_key,0,8); // append the first 8 bytes onto the end
$secret = mcrypt_encrypt(MCRYPT_3DES, $my_key, $data, MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, $iv); //CBC is the default mode in .NET
And, like magic, it works.
There's one more caveat: Data padding
mcrypt always pads data will the null character
but .NET has two padding modes: "Zeros" and "PKCS7"
Zeros is identical to the mcrypt scheme, but PKCS7 is the default.
PKCS7 isn't much more complex, though:
instead of nulls, it appends the total number of padding bytes (which means, for 3DES, it can be a value from 0x01 to 0x07)
if your plaintext is "ABC", it will be padded into:
0x41 0x42 0x43 0x05 0x05 0x05 0x05 0x05
You can remove these from a decrypted string in PHP by counting the number of times that last character appears, and if it matches it's ordinal value, truncating the string by that many characters:
$block = mcrypt_get_block_size('tripledes', 'cbc');
$packing = ord($text{strlen($text) - 1});
if($packing and ($packing < $block)){
for($P = strlen($text) - 1; $P >= strlen($text) - $packing; $P--){
if(ord($text{$P}) != $packing){
$packing = 0;
$text = substr($text,0,strlen($text) - $packing);
And to pad a string that you intend to decrypt with .NET, just add the chr() value of the number of padding bytes:
$block = mcrypt_get_block_size('tripledes', 'cbc');
$len = strlen($dat);
$padding = $block - ($len % $block);
$dat .= str_repeat(chr($padding),$padding);
That's all there is to it.
Knowing this, you can encrypt, decrypt, and duplicate exactly any .NET 3DES behaviour in PHP.

Whew! It feels good to be back. I go caught up on a whole bunch of stuff. But boy, do I need a drink. Good thing I have this barrel of Negronis on hand. I featured my rotund wooden beauty in a recent newsletter, although I was concerned about mentioning my Negronis on social media because I often get in trouble with auto-corrected text. But there's nothing to "clean up" after a few Negronis except perhaps you, and your guests.
I am in love with my barrel and was delighted when a friend in Paris saw it in my newsletter and called right away to tell me she had an old barrel holding up a bookshelf in her house, and brought it by as a gift the other day. However when I filled the it with water, it became what is probably the first indoor water sprinkler, with water spraying everywhere from between the bulging staves. So I'm glad to have a "pro" model to fall back on.

Inheritance and contact in a language complex: the case of Taa varieties (Tuu family)
Taa, the only surviving member of the Tuu family (formerly "Southern Khoisan") with a substantial number of speakers, is a large cluster of dialects spoken by small bands of former hunter-gatherers (commonly referred to as "San") and stretching geographically from east-central Namibia from the Nossob River over the former Aminuis reserve into the Ghanzi and Kgalagadi Districts of Botswana up to a line Okwa-Tsetseng-Dutlwe-Werda. Mutual intelligibility usually exists between neighboring varieties, but differences between geographically remote dialects can amount to a linguistic distance found between languages. However, the dialectal diversity of Taa is still hardly documented.
In its wide geographical range Taa speakers have been and still are in contact with a wide variety of different ethnolinguistic groups speaking languages belonging to five different language families: Tuu (other than Taa itself), Khoe, Ju-ǂHoan, Bantu, and Germanic. The great number of contact languages from different genealogical groups and the variety of contact situations (i.e. Taa in contact with languages of equal or higher social prestige) provide an ideal laboratory in which we can explore how a widespread language complex can diversify internally through differential language contact. Despite the still limited data on the Taa complex it can already be discerned that some of its internal diversity is due to the different contact situations the individual Taa dialects were in.
The geolinguistic setting of Taa provides the background for the following project goals:
- continued/first documentation and analysis of Taa dialects
- identification of the inter-dialectal divergence across the entire Taa cluster
- survey of the southern sphere of Taa searching for possibly surviving San contact languages
- systematization of non-Taa data on discourse, morphosyntax, lexicon, phonetics-phonology
- comparison of Taa and non-Taa data with respect to language contact
The documentation component is planned to involve local researchers and native speakers who will be trained as far as possible in the necessary field work methods.

(NewsUSA) - The need for advance directives or living wills first caught the public's eye as the nation watched the fate of Florida resident Terri Schindler Schiavo hang in a balance wrought with family hostility and debate.
And while most people don't like to plan for it or even think about it -- a matter evinced by FindLaw's survey that reports only that 44 percent of Americans have an estate will and still fewer, 36 percent, have a living will -- proper end-of-life planning is necessary.
Research shows promise, however, for Americans when it comes to end-of-life planning. More and more people are sitting down and making their wishes regarding pain management, life support and quality of life known.
If you are looking to take the steps necessary to pen your living will, here are a few tips from My Life Plan to get you started:
* Talk with your family. It is not only important to write down your wishes, but also to communicate them to your family, especially to your health care advocate or the individual in charge of carrying out your health care wishes.
* Consider your state's laws. Research and talk with your lawyer to ensure that your wishes are made in a format recognized by your state of residence.
* It's important to be specific. Consider the many decisions that will need to be made on your behalf as your write your will. Research living will templates, and talk to a professional to get an idea of how specific you need to be.

Tornado Recovery
Due to the widespread devastation from the May 20, 2013 tornado, the U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded $52.2 million to help with the recovery of the City of Moore through the Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Program. The CDBG-DR program is designed to support long-term disaster recovery efforts in areas with the greatest extent of 'unmet need.' CDBG-DR grants are intended to address housing, business and infrastructure needs beyond those met by other forms of public and private assistance.
A series of Notices published in the Federal Register regulates the use of the CDBG-DR funds. City Staff has worked with HUD officials and finalized an "Action Plan" that will be the framework through which Recovery Activities will be carried out.
The Action Plan is available to view below.

E-W softball scores in 11th to beat Kamiak 1-0
Brooklynn Bailey drives in game-winning run; Lafferty tosses 11 scoreless innings for win
So Warriors coach Mike Venable gave Brooklynn Bailey the green light to swing away.
Good idea. Bailey hit a scorching double over the third baseman's head to score teammate Cassady Orstad from second base in the bottom of the 11th inning and lead Edmonds-Woodway to a 1-0 win over Kamiak on Friday.
"My philosophy is usually to bunt there," Venable said, referring to the international-rules tiebreaker format, which places a runner on second base at the start of the inning beginning in the 10th inning of tied games. "But Brooklynn is hitting the ball so well I didn't want to take the bat out of her hands."
Bailey finished the game 3-for-5 from the plate, including two doubles.
The story of the day was the pitching duel between Edmonds-Woodway's Katelynn Lafferty and Kamiak's Angie McFall. The two pitchers went the distance and fought out of tough situations throughout the game to post zeroes in 21 straight innings until the bottom half of the 11th.
Lafferty used pinpoint control to subdue the Knights, scattering nine hits and striking out 12 in 11 scoreless innings. Kamiak's best opportunity came in the seventh when they loaded the bases with two outs. But Lafferty got the strikeout to end the threat.
"(Katelynn) really had her pitches working today," Venable said. "Her control was excellent. She threw the right pitch at right time. Kamiak has some very dangerous-looking hitters."
Until the 11th, McFall was Lafferty's equal, scattering nine hits as well and striking out eight. McFall battled out of trouble in the bottom of the seventh with Warriors' baserunners on second and third with one out. McFall got a E-W hitter to fouled off bunt attempt with two strikes and forced the next hitter to ground out to end the threat and send the game into extra innings.

In our collection of past food for thought posts, we covered break stations food options, breakfast, trends and more. To focus on the drinks that enhance performance at meetings we're naming it "sips for thought" – a subcategory of food for thought. What are these drinks?
1. Coffee -
This beverage is a true superfood and is most healthy consumed
without sugar and low-fat milk (if you're a coffee and cream kind of person).

2. Tea -
Drinking tea whether it's regular, green or specialty helps brain cognition and memory

3. Water -
Water maintains levels of energy and hydration for the brain for better meetings.
Adding lemons is the perfect way to start your day for antioxidants.

4. Fresh juice (not from concentrate) -
100% fruit juice with no sugar added is a good alternative to water.
Cranberry, blueberry, orange and pomegranate juice are all nutrient-dense juices.

5. Brain Boosting Smoothies or juice with fruit -
Proteins keep the brain alert and active – adding almond milk to a fruit smoothie
will help you maintain energy all day long.
With Your Guide to Meeting Drinks, we hope you feel equipped to ask your meeting venues for Sips for Thought menu options. Were you already incorporating "brain drinks" into your menu options? What's your favorite choice? Would you consider suggesting a "create your own smoothie" station in a dining room for breakfast?

This new and improved filter replaces the metal canister design filter. It reduces more contaminants and is easier to install. This Filter fits GE, Kenmore (model prefix 363) and Hotpoint refrigerators with a round filter, usually mounted inside the refrigerator at the back of the compartment. NOTE: If you are replacing the Culligan metal canister design filter for the first time, you need to purchase a special ADAPTER. The adapter is not included with this part. Genuine GE part.

Tuna and spaghetti?? What is this blasphemy?
ewww, red sauce and tunas do not go together

I meant crackers.
And the crackers/cookies I eat only have salt, no sugar, so, yeah, I mix them.
Archer Fish do not care for my shenanigans, as was evident when one launched itself from one end of the tank to the other at my face in a museum earlier.
They can dynamite Devil Reef, but that will bring no relief, Y'ha-nthlei is deeper than they know.
Good morning. Ended up going out to dinner with the family last night, then had to help my daughter with her homework. How are people doing here?
I'm doing well. Just getting things ready to start work today.
Lunch time. BLT and tea today.
