What is your favorite eggcorn forum submission (to date)? I can tell you that mine is "comuffins," submitted by klakritz. http://eggcorns.lascribe.net/forum/view … hp?id=2365
If you have a favorite (i.e., one), true eggcorn or not, add it to this topic. We've had some very entertaining ones!
Feeling quite combobulated.
All-time favorite is too hard a choice, but among the submissions of the last month or so I especially like 'day view' for 'debut.'
I'm kind of partial to those lipness tests.
*If the human mind were simple enough for us to understand,
we would be too simple-minded to understand it* .
Hafta agree with Ken: "dayview" beats all comers in recent months.
Going back to June or so, I'd also mention Ken's own "revisitism" and David Vinson's "untilmatum" relayed by Kem.
Little early for the "best of the year" Christmas list, isn't it? The Halloween decorations are still up.
In the last couple of months Ken has posted three that were extra sweet:
"The plot sickens," http://eggcorns.lascribe.net/forum/view … hp?id=3239
"Lump and proletariat," http://eggcorns.lascribe.net/forum/view … hp?id=3206
"Fridge benefits," http://eggcorns.lascribe.net/forum/view … hp?id=3149

I too hope that our jumping the gum doesn't create a sticky mess where no one feels like posting best-ofs in January. But it's darn hard to keep from mentioning faves when someone asks.
I think that all three of those are among the more entertaining reshapings posted recently, but none of them is a perfect eggcorn for me. The first is usually a pun (even obviously so in some of Ken's citations—though others may be authentic). "Lump and" passes, I think, but it's a bit awkward. And I go back and forth on "fridge benefits." Could those people really have been thinking consciously about refrigerators? Sure, food would be a useful benefit and all, but it seems a bit oblique. (I didn't intend to be such a dogged provocateur this week….)
Did we post best-ofs last January? Besides, this isn't a "best-of" thread but our favorites. We can do a real best-of in January if anyone would like to start one. For me, comuffins literally made me laugh out loud. So that's what I was going for here. (Some stores have had Christmas stuff out since Labor Day, so why not get an early start on our year-end frivolity?) :-)
Feeling quite combobulated.
Pat-Admittedly the three I mentioned are not the most elegant eggcorns, but they are still eggcorns (If you question this, we should go back to the relevant threads and pick up the discussions. I reviewed the web citations on all three of these before my post and I'm convinced that at least some web page authors offer them seriously and with new imagery.) What these three lack in elegance they make up for, in my opinion, with humor, novelty and sheer perversity.
On issues of perfection and elegance, I defer to my California colleagues. I wouldn't know a double latte with dairy cream and twist of lemon from a cup of cold Nescafe.

Kem—I think it's pretty hard to be sure that any instances of "the plot sickens" aren't puns. (This comment seems on-topic to me for this thread, but if you want to offer a more in-depth analysis on Ken's thread, I'll be happy to respond at greater length there.)

Ha! I guess that shows how portable regional stereotypes are. This caffeine-negative California native couldn't tell you exactly what a double latte is. (I don't surf or drive, either.) I associate fancy coffees with the Great Northwest—uh, near you, Kem.

Your're right, Pat-there are a lot of fancy coffee shops around here. What do you suppose they do in those places? Is the recent surge in posts on this board fueled by people with laptops listening in on caffeine propelled conversations?

Trusted Reviews - Jade iPhone kit

Trusted Reviews - Jade iPhone kit. 9 out of 10 "Recommended"
Audio quality was very good, with even a hearing aid-equipped elderly person having no problems making out what we were saying. What's more, the menu button on the right calls up voice control on your iPhone, so you can give it commands hands-free as well. There's also a volume control on the right edge, but we found the sound to be perfectly audible above the engine noise in our car, at around the 75 per cent mark.

"Dr. Berman - Sterling, VA"
I had a great visit. I felt comfortable and valued. Dr. Berman was professional and caring. He spent valuable time with me and wasn't in a hurry to rush off to the next patient. I have only visited a few times, yet he knew who I was and engaged me in conversation that made me feel important. He thoroughly explained the proceedure and answered my questions and concerns. more
"Botox Didn't Work! - Fairfax, VA"
This is my first time posting and trying botox. I went in to get my forehead, crows feet and between my eyes. The first set of shots did nothing so two weeks later I went in and paid more for a touch up - still nothing. Do I call and bring this up again or just take it as a loss. It irks me that I had to pay for my so-called touch up. Anybody else have this happen?
Idk, I feel like... more
"Botox Treatment - Day One - Mclean, VA"
This is my first treatment. My Doctor used 20 units to treat the vertical lines between my eyes.
I felt minimal discomfort during the injections and some stinging for about fifteen minutes afterward. Next time I will do this on my lunch hour, I didn't even have redness in spite of my sensitive skin!
I can't create the "11's" no matter how hard I try! They were completely wiped out... more
"Botox for Axillary Hyperhydrosis -..."
I've been dealing with excessive underarm sweat since I was a teenager. People who don't suffer from this horrible curse truly have no idea what it's like to live with it on a daily basis. I've tried EVERY product known to man to help cure this, to no avail. "Clinical" protection products were no match to my sweat. Being that I'm in sales and interface with clients on a daily basis, something... more
"BOTOX for Jaw Reduction - Washington DC"
I used to have two pieces of very strong bite muscle on both side of my face. That botherd me for a very long time because these two muscles came togeger and form a very square looking face for me. To solve the problem, I came to Dr.Chaboki, he answered lot of questions for me and let me have no fare about botox injections anymore. After the procedure for about 4 weeks, I can see the result... more
"Highly Recommend with No..."
I'm a 38 yo female who was been using botox on and off for ~ 4 years. I generally for the most part have had reasonable success with Botox. However, the last 3, injections prior to Dr. Kulak had sub par results. I still had muscle paralysis so I wasn't concerned about the efficacy of the Botox but the skill of the injector. My previous injectors were 2 MD's and 1 RN, which resulted in a... more
"Excellent Results. Aging Gracefully!..."
I have gotten Botox injections for horizontal lines in my forehead since I have been 45 years old. Before being treated by Dr. Le the results were hit or miss. I looked "frozen"or my eyebrows resembled Mr. Spock from Star Trek or I had to return for a "redo" b/c it didn't "take".
Not so with Dr.Le.... I have been a patient for the last 4 years. Each and every time I have an appointment, I... more
"Great for Preventative Measures -..."
I was reluctant to try Botox, thinking that I really didn't need it at 26. However, a friend of mine gave it a try and said that it made a huge difference- so I had to try it! I was glad I did!!! My Botox appointment was easy and did not take long at all. The doctor asked me to make "frown" faces to locate the areas that needed the injections. After 5 minutes I was all done. I... more
"Dysport/Botox Side Effects - Please..."
I do not have a personal agenda. I am not a member of PETA or any other activist organization. I am an intelligent, educated, responsible and rational person. I do not have anything against anyone who wants to use injectables or any other treatment for anti-aging. I used to be one of those people.
I have had plastic surgery, fillers and botulinum toxin injections. I was not a... more
"Miracle Worker - Fairfax, VA"
I needed to freshen up after having another baby.
My forehead wrinkles are completely gone, yet my eyebrows still have a nice arch and I don't look like a robot. The technique she used around my eyes has not only erased my crows feet, but opened up my eyes in general. I love my results and I love Dr. Toerge! more

I am turning 30 and I wanted to slow the aging process down. I didn't want permanent deep lines in my forehead, or crows feet around my eyes. more

"Botox Side Effect or Dysport. Can a..."
I had a botox(supposedly) about two weeks ago on my 11 line and I had terrible headaches and flu-like symptom the next few days. While I had a follow up with my doc and we were discussisng about other issues (hallow spot on my 11 area) I noticed that he was keep referring that I had a dysport instead of Botox. So I asked him what I had, and he looked at the chart and said dysport. On the chart... more
"Been Getting Botox for over 20 Years..."
I have gotten Botox for over 20 years in the 'scrinch' lines between my eyes. For the FIRST time ever, I feel like I might be experiencing side effects of swollen tender glands in my neck and stiff neck. However, I find some of the posts here a little hard to believe b/c Botox breaks down in your body in 2-5 months, which is why (If you like the results) you have to get it injected 2-4 times... more
"Botox Injection to Eyes and Between..."
The vertical lines between the eyes and horizontal wrinkles on my forehead have long been a major concern for me. Every time I looked in the mirror I saw an angry face looking back, but that wasn't my true self.Within 4 days the lines became smoother, I no longer looked angry and my self confidence sky-rocketed! more
"Love my Botox Between the Brows and..."
Areas treated: Between the brows and forehead (frown and surprise lines)
Pros: My forehead is smooth and looks natural, no one can tell that I had it done. Even my mother had no idea. I have a nice arch to my brow. People just tell me that I look good and beautiful (something I hadn't heard in a while)
I feel more beautiful again and was seeing the aging lines and it made me feel... more
"Botox Lower Eye Injections -..."
I like the effects botox has because it makes me look rested and less forehead wrinkles. I have had about 6 treatments over the past two years and I have experienced drooping in one eye twice, but it was easily fixed by injecting more botox into the necessary area. I really like the relaxed, well rested look it gives me.I had botox injections around my lower eyes. When more
"My Botox Wears off Fast"
I am 37 years old andI have had two rounds of Botox in-between my eyebrows. I loved the results, however both treatments wore off within 2 months of the injection. Here I am ready for another third injection but I am apprehensive. At $375 dollars, every two months, this will become costly. Not to mention I cannot seem to get a clear answer as too why this is happening in the first place.Love... more

Scientists making fishy robots for naval research
Tuesday - 10/23/2012, 9:59am EDT
By JANET McCONNAUGHEY
Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - An eel undulating through coastal waters, powered by batteries and checking for mines. A jellyfish is actually a surveillance robot, powered by the atoms around it. Fins pick up intelligence while propelling a robot bluegill sunfish.
The Office of Naval Research is supporting baby steps toward making those visions of the future a reality. For instance, the jellyfish work in Texas and Virginia is focused on how the creatures move in water, and how to mimic or even surpass their abilities. The robojellyfish is currently tethered to hydrogen and oxygen tanks, and ONR project manager Robert Brizzolara said he doesn't plan to try making it move autonomously yet.
There's plenty still to learn about basic hydrodynamics.
"We, as engineers, haven't created anything that swims nearly as well as a very basic fish," said Drexel University's James Tangorra, who is working on a robotic bluegill. Partners at Harvard and the University of Georgia are studying the actual fish; he uses their findings to engineer imitations. "There are great things we can learn from fish ... The way they propel themselves; the way in which they sense water."
Ultimately, the Navy wants "the next generation of robotics that would operate in that very Navy-unique underwater domain," said Jim Fallin, a spokesman for Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific, which is doing separate work in San Diego. One aspect is finding long-lived power sources to let drones loiter a long time to collect information, he said.
Possible uses include spying, mapping, and mine detection and removal.
The Navy is not the only agency paying for such research. In 2007, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency offered small business innovation research money for an underwater robot that could navigate rivers, inlets, harbors and coastal waters to check for general traffic, obstacles, things on and under the bottom, and "specific vessels of interest."
The ONR studies are more basic. The grants aren't aimed as much at creating drones as at understanding how things move forward underwater, Brizzolara said.
The Navy uses torpedo-shaped drones and tethered vehicles to detect mines and map the ocean floor. But propellers and jets can be easily tracked on radar and sonar. Robots modeled after water creatures could be both more efficient and harder to detect, and could move through perilous waters without endangering people, researchers say.
The work isn't all at universities. The Office of Naval Research opened a 50,000-square-foot robotics laboratory this year. A prototype dubbed Razor, developed at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center in Newport, R.I., uses flippers for stealth.
Like the jellyfish work and the University of Virginia studies on manta rays, the eel research at the University of New Orleans is all about hydrodynamics. The spark is UNO professor emeritus William Vorus' theory that sinuous undulations, though a slow way to swim, should allow forward movement without creating a wake.
Brandon M. Taravella, who studied under Vorus and is now an assistant professor of naval architecture and marine engineering at UNO, sees the robot eel as a possible surveillance tool. But the Office of Naval Research's three-year, $900,000 grant is focused on making an eel and seeing whether it can swim without disturbing the water around it.
Other scientists have checked real eels, Taravella said. "It's pretty high-efficient ... but still has some wake. That's why we're not dropping eels into the tank." Computer-generated models indicate just how a robot eel should move to get through the water without any drag. Creating one to do that is far from easy.
Like many of the other projects, this one is still in early stages. Most of the time, the nameless first-year prototype is hooked onto a metal pole called a mast, which is attached to sensors on a platform pulled by metal cables from one end of a 160-foot-long towing tank to the other.
At the end of one session half of its batteries were removed and it was set into the water for a free swim toward the platform. When it hit one side or headed under the platform, Taravella and graduate student Baker Potts guided it back by sticking canoe paddles in its way.
"This time it tracked straighter a lot better ... Remember? It was going in circles," said Potts.
Taravella said, "Year 2, we're hoping to have it remote controlled. By Year 3, we hope to have it fully autonomous," They'd also like it to wriggle up and down as well as side to side, letting it rise and dive.

It's still the great blend of Pain-Free Yoga™, Pilates, and resistance stretching that you know and love–but with a few twists.
So what's changed?
- Updated language. The Wood concepts are important and subtle, and can confuse new students (or even experienced practitioners!). We've changed some easily misunderstood phrases and terms to be more accessible. For example, you won't hear anyone talking about "20% effort" anymore. Don't worry, your favorite reactivation exercises like Strong Pigeon and Strong Wind Relieving aren't going anywhere! They've just been repackaged. Even someone who has been taking Wood for years can gain new insight from the updated wording.
- New
sequence. The revamped order is designed to energize you right from the start of class, and keep the energy flowing. Periods of high intensity are broken up–sometimes with "reset" postures like a quick Cat or Bridge, and sometimes in sets (we no longer do all 96 crunches at once!)–to keep you from fizzling out. Your mind and body will stay engaged from start to finish.
- New postures. Craving variety? Even a classic sequence like Wood can use a little spicing up every now and then! In addition to all your old favorites, look for new additions like Bridge Figure
4, Dynamic Standing Glute Raises, and more. It's a great chance to put all the strength you've built in the rest of class into action.
The updated Wood series is coming to Sunstone

More FAQs»
I love my new bird feeder. It's not only practical and easy to use, it's also stylish and graceful looking. You can see from the Amazon photo that it's design is quite elegant and it's made of sturdy, long-lasting brass. Being brass it will probably tarnish with weather, but that often gives it the antiquated look that is so popular with many people.Only time will tell if it's a "keeper" for me--a lot depends on its stability on windy days--but for now the birdies like it and that's good enough for me. I enjoy sitting on my patio watching them fluttering around, taking turns feeding. The robins seem to be pretty smart; they never go to the feeder, but are content with what the smaller birds scatter on the ground. And who says birds are dumb with their teensy-weensy brains? Hmmm...Highly recommended to all nature lovers.
I put mine on a thin branch on a tree in my backyard and the birds starting arriving immediately. They don't seem to go to the water with the gusto that they go towards the bird seed so I started filling both with bird seed. Can't go wrong. Highly recommended.
This set is heavy duty. Be sure to place it in a place that won't get wet or the seed feeder base will fill with water. This set seems bombproof.
Not only is this really attractive but I love the way it's constructed. Right now I have water in both cylinders because of the hot Summer weather coming in and the fact that the birds have enough of natural food that they really don't need to have seed at this time of year.The bottom holds a nice amount of water and food and it has a wonderful slide closure so you can knock down the amount of water or food that is despensed. Really cleaver let me tell you and this is the first time I have encountered this type of closure.Made from glass, metal and plastic this is a weighty piece and does hold quite a bit. You won't have to worry about squirrels eating the dickens out of it with the cleaver way the entire thing is set up and it's construction. They say you get what you pay for and I think here you are getting much more than what you're paying for. I have seen far more expensive feeders that a pure junk. This rates as queen of the line. It's also great that you can use each of the cylinders for either water or feed as they are both the same.I am truely one happy camper with this product and will be looking into more of this line.
This is really a pretty bird feeder. It is made of glass and copper and has an elegant look about it. It holds bird feed and water in the separate little glass silos and is substantial enough to not get tossed about in a light to moderate breeze. Our wild birds love and use it daily, especially the watering one now that summer is here and the surrounding area is pretty dry.I'd highly recommend this style to anyone who loves to bird watch and wants to attract them but not have the possibility of a bird feeder that is an eye sore. This one is truely a beautiful choice.
We do some great bird watching from our large picture window. I wanted to see if different types of birds would be attracted to the yard with this feeder. I did see one new type of bird once we added this feeder. The feeder was easily mounted on a tree. We filled it with water. It has been so hot so far this spring/summer we thought the birds would really crave water and I think we were right. You do have to refill it quite a bit.I really like that it is functional, but also nice to look at. Some bird feeders are just plain ugly in the yard, but this one keeps with a nice and elegant look.I can't say how it would stand up to weather as we haven't had it for too long. I will definitely take it down if there is a storm coming and it will need to be cleaned seasonally since it is copper.I think this product is good for an avid and novice bird watcher, especially if you are looking to attract new birds. Would definitely add another one to the yard!Oh yea, we have lots of squirrels in our yard and the feeder as not been attacked by squirrels trying to steal water! Another sign of a well made feeder!
This is one of the prettiest bird feeders I've seen. It's very well made and engineered to be easy to fill and clean. Having one feeder with seed and the other with water is a great idea and the birds empty the water very quickly. There is a sliding device at the base that makes the opening smaller or larger - smaller for water, larger for seed - so you can fill them with whatever you choose. The inside of the base is lined in copper colored plastic, so it's durable and easy to clean. The top screws on and off so you can flip it over and set it on a level surface making it easy to fill. Really, an excellent feeder.
My husband and I are in love with this bird feeder/waterer and so seems the local birds. The design is beautiful and balances well. The feeder and the waterer are easy to fill and hang and release at quite a proper rate. We have had no problems with balance.
The Birdscapes 389 Copper Sip & Seed Feeder's quality is outstanding as well as beautiful. The Metal glazing looks like it should last for a long time.The glass is thick and heavy and of high quality. The feeder and waterer have an adjustable flow feature. I would highly suggest closing the water flow while filling and placing to avoid a water bath. We have a child care and have multiple feeders lining the windows and under the eaves. This one gets as much use from the birds as the others.I would definitely recommend this feeder for its beauty and quality.
We've had a lot of bird feeders, but my wife remarked after I hung the Birdscapes 389 Copper Sip & Seed Feeder that this is easily the most elegant bird feeder she's ever seen.I have to agree. The simplicity of the twin silos is most attractive.The birds seem to think so too. I filled one with sunflower seeds and the other with water and the first bird showed up after only 45 minutes.Its only shortcoming may be its relatively small capacity for food and water. Once the word gets out in the local bird community, I expect to refill it frequently.The product makes no claims about being squirrel-proof, which is no big deal because I've come to the conclusion that NOTHING is squirrel proof.This feeder will be an attractive addition to any back yard or porch and the copper finish goes nicely with almost everything.
This is probably the most beautiful birdfeeder I've ever bought. And don't be put off by the glass thinking it will break. It's very thick and survived a blizzard in SE Pennsylvania!
I currently have both sides filled with seed, but can't wait to try it out with water in one side in the spring! This feeder is well worth every penny. I wish I could submit pictures of the many birds that are flocking around it!
I was surprised to see that it was made out of glass and not plastic, the design is very pretty and it's easy to use with the screw on lids. Hanging however is a different story, the hanger is not very big but you have to make sure the branch is ever so sturdy because it's quiet heavy. I had some problems finding a good branch. Don't let go until you know it's not going to break the branch or slide off (as I almost made that mistake).
Feeder is sturdy as well as attractive- I was impressed with how solid it felt out of the box. Easy to fill and set up- each tube has an adjustable setting for either food or water so you do not have to worry about which is which. The tubes balance themselves well on the copper hanger- though I do worry a little about wind if it is hung anywhere overly exposed as the tubes are able to move along the hanger a bit. The water tube allows enough water in the bottom bowl that smaller birds can enjoy a splash or two.The only downside I can see is a lack on the user side, not design. Make sure you are regularly and thoroughly cleaning out the water side between fillings. Otherwise it is the perfect environment for interesting and unsavory things to grow. Squirrels would also make short work of this one.

Former Men's Basketball Player James Crowder Signs Pro Contract with Top Team in Portugal
October 17, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - James Crowder, a 2009 Pfeiffer University graduate, has recently signed a contract with Overense Basketball, one of the top professional organizations located in Ovar, Portugal playing in the LCB (Portuguese Basketball League). One of the most successful teams in the country, Ovarense Basketball has won five Portuguese Championships, two Portugal Cups, seven Portugal Super Cups, four Portuguese League Cups, and two Portuguese National Tournaments. Three time NBA Champion Mario Elie played for Ovarense a few years back.
"James is coming off a fine rookie campaign in Ireland, where he won the National Championship and was named Most Outstanding Player," said Falcon head men's basketball coach Jeremy Currier. "It is no surprise that a team of this quality would pick up a player of James's caliber. Standing at 6'7'', James is a shooting guard that brings a high skill set with tremendous versatility to any team he is on."
Crowder left Pfeiffer averaging 15.1 points and 7.8 rebounds while shooting 49% from the field, 41% from three-point range while leading the team in blocked shots as a senior. James went on to lead UDC Marian to their first ever National Cup Victory under Coach Fran Ryan.
"Perhaps James's most important attribute is being a great teammate and first-class individual," stated Currier. "The Falcon Basketball family is extremely proud of James and many other former Falcons that are representing our program and University in the professional basketball arenas across the world."

MISENHEIMER, N.C. – The Pfeiffer University men's soccer team (3-5-1, 1-3 Conference Carolinas) fell to conference foe Lees-McRae on a warm and sunny afternoon on Thursday afternoon. The Bobcats pushed their winning streak to five with the 2-0 road victory as Matthew Cureton had a goal and an assist to lead the way.
The first half was scoreless and very evenly played. At the end of the first 45 minutes, Lees-McRae had a 6-5 lead in shots, with Pfeiffer holding a 2-1 advantage in corners. The Bobcats (5-3, 3-0) committed six fouls to five for the host Falcons.
The Bobcats broke the tie in the 49th minute as Alex Hasler gathered a rebound in front of the goal and scored on the open net. Cureton was credited with the assist. In the 57th minute, a controversial penalty was called on Pfeiffer defender Nick Janes and the visitors were given a penalty kick. Cureton blasted home the opportunity, putting it in the right corner of the net.
The match would end with the Bobcats leading in shots, 14-11. Corner kicks were even at three.
Head Coach Bob Reasso was disappointed after the game.
"I think Lees-McRae is a good team but we let ourselves down today," said Reasso. "We didn't put in the necessary effort to win this kind of game."
Nicolas Dulac made four saves for Pfeiffer, while Thomas Rusling made four stops to record his fourth shutout of the season.
The Falcons return to action on Saturday as they look to rebound with a 4 p.m. match against Mount Olive.

It is because Duncan scores 20 when doubled normally and 30 when single covered by other teams, yet TC kept him in ralative check singling him. But again, no argument, just go read that chart and find a way to disagree with facts. And yes he gets in foul trouble but anyone with Dwest as a sidekick on defense would.
Believe what you want on the pick and roll but the numbers dont lie. Our PPG were drastically down even at the beginning of last year and the number of CP3 to TC ally oops per game were down as well even when TC was healthy.
And yes, Okafor can make some moves off a dribble or two if given time and not doubled. When he gets doubled he gets flustered, but he is 26 and will have more space to work with us than he ever had in Charlotte, so 4-6 points in the post off jump hooks or up and unders arent out of the question with 6-10 PPG coming off dunks, easy buckets, FT's, etc- making 12-16 PPG realistic and expected.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Great addition
We ordered the living dream magnet as well and used these to accommodate our guests with information about the hotel block. Everything is perfect however except the gray on this card didn't quite match the gray on the magnet they were off a little bit however everything was perfect
Very Nice Quality!
These magnet holders really compliment the magnets well. They match perfectly! I love that I was able to write a personalized message on the back of them as well! The paper quality is very nice. I will definitely be ordering the matching invitations soon. I would without a doubt recommend the Save the Dates and the matching holders. Magnetstreet is a great company to do business with!
Worth it!!!
Totally worth the cost to get these! The paper quality was thick and nice - didn't look like a cheap insert. These enhanced our magnets and wouldn't be the same without!
This is far and above the quality we expected from an online company. The website made it easy to match the magnet with a carrier card. The material is beautiful, substantial and has the look of being printed on linen. The envelopes are lovely with the foil lining and the whole set is very expressive and cost is less than a discount greeting card. This company was excellent for confirming the order, communicating during the process and delivered with a tracking number. The box arrived before our list was complete. Thank you so much.
I initially ordered 25 and when they arrived, I was so stunned that I had to have more! I just wanted to pass them out to everyone they looked that good! The quality was well worth it! I especially liked that I could customize anything and everything. Recommending Magnet Street to everyone!

Who likes early-August school days?
Did football move up the start of school? Or did school move up the start of football? Editor Don Whitten takes a closer look at early-August school days in Mississippi and lists some of the factors in the earlier start to classes these days in reaction to a move by a group called "Save Mississippi Summers" to have classes start later in August or even in September.

Clean and Maintain Your AC Equipment
According to Weiner, "keeping your AC and furnace filters clean can improve the system's efficiency by 5 to 15 percent. Many systems have a filter in the outdoor condenser unit that helps keep the coils clean, maximizing efficiency. For indoor air quality and proper flow, it's also important to replace furnace filters as needed throughout the cooling season.
Kellogg offers similar advice and adds, "I tell people to forget the standard routine of checking filters every three months and do it once a month. An easy way for them to remember is to check the filters every time they get a utility bill." Kellogg also recommends shading your outdoor unit and making sure it is level and has at least 1 foot of free air space on all sides.

Fast Jacket®
Product Includes:
- Additional set of HDO lenses (excludes photochromic)
- Microbag with lens pocket
We took the idea of "adapt and conquer" to the extreme. Oakley Fast Jacket™ is a performance product with a unique interchangeable lens design that lets you match your optics to your environment. Switching out the lenses is fast and easy, thanks to Switchlock™ Technology. It's an innovation that locks the lenses in place with a quick release system. With Switchlock, the lenses are securely suspended without any stresses that could alter the optics, so you'll have premium clarity with true, accurate vision. We shaped stainless steel with metal injection molding to create a convenient button that releases each lens. That means minimal handling and no hassle. Just put in a new lens set and go.
Between sunrise and sunset, there's a whole spectrum of possibility, but you can't take advantage of it unless your vision can adapt. If the sun pulls a disappearing act or busts its way through the clouds, just swap out the lenses with a different set. The advantages don't stop there. Pro athletes know it takes the right combination of light filtering, glare blocking, visual contrast and color balance to help them perform at their best, and it varies from sport to sport and place to place. With Fast Jacket™, they have the power to adapt their vision quickly and give themselves every possible advantage.
Plutonite® Lens
One of the most optically pure materials used in eyewear today, it maximizes clarity and impact resistance while filtering out 100% of all UVA, UVB, UVC and harmful blue light up to 400nm. Not a coating, the UV protection is from the lens material itself.
High Definition Optics®
High Definition Optics® (HDO®) is a collection of patented technologies that allow Oakley eyewear to meet or exceed the testing standards of the American National Standards Institute for optical clarity, visual fidelity, and impact resistance.
Impact Protection
Backed by decades of innovation, Oakley performance eyewear offers uncompromising protection against high-velocity and high-mass impact. The protection is a benefit of the premium materials and unique architectures of Oakley lens/frame combinations.
UV Protection
Eye damage attributed to ultraviolet light includes cataracts, pterygium and macular degeneration. Our Plutonite® lens material filters out 100% of all UVA, UVB, UVC and harmful blue light up to 400nm. The protection is from the lens material itself.
Three-Point Fit
A patented innovation that ensures the frame makes contact only at the bridge of the nose and the sides of the head. It holds lenses in precise optical alignment with a secure fit that eliminates the pressure points common with frames that hook the ears.
A stress-resistant frame material that withstands environmental extremes, it is lightweight yet highly durable. Controlled flexibility enhances impact resistance while contributing to the all-day comfort of frames made with this innovative synthetic.
Designed to balance light transmission and reduce glare, this premium lens coating is made with superheated metal oxides. It is available in a spectrum of colors for optimizing vision in virtually any light condition.
To make the process of lens changing fast, easy and hassle-free, this technology uses a simple switch mechanism to release the mounted lens so a new one can be locked in instantly. It lets athletes adapt their vision and keep up with changing light.
Interchangeable Lenses
This style lets you change lenses in seconds to optimize vision in any sport environment. Second lens included.

Would not doubt we see Joey outwork Rampage, gas Rampage and get the win. Matter of fact, I really think that Rampage will probably need to get it done in the first 7 1/2 minutes if he's not in shape.
Beltran can push the pace and will execute tons of leg kicks and pressure from the clinch, plus coming down from HW, he's a big boy himself. Rampage should probably be the favourite here, but I'm thinking rounds 2 and 3 can be Beltran's for the taking, so this may be really interesting if Rampage is looking for a cakewalk(.....sure, pun intended)

Zack was one of about 150 Jack Russell Terriers and Shiba Inus we rescued from a Michigan puppy mill earlier this year. After rescue, he needed surgery on his eyes—but he also needed extensive behavior help.
ASPCA behavior expert Kristen Collins was at the rescue to help remove dogs from the property, and she noticed Zack right away. He shook violently as he crouched in terror, his eyes wide. When Collins approached his enclosure, he bolted for the broken crate that was his only shelter from the elements.
"He looked like the most fearful dog on the property," Collins remembers. She knew Zack's best hope was intensive treatment at our Rehab Center for puppy mill and hoarding survivors.
When Zack arrived at the Rehab Center, his behavior was no different than the first time Collins saw him quake with fear at her approach. He cowered in the back of his space, ears flat and body low. And yet—after a few days, though he remained skeptical about human touch, Zack began to tentatively wag his tail at the sight of familiar people.
Today, Zack has been adopted and is part of a loving family. We wanted to show you the amazing progress Zack made during his time with us—please watch his video below.
We also wanted to thank those of you who have given to the ASPCA. Zack's recovery wouldn't be possible without you. If you haven't given recently, you can do so here to help other animals like Zack. Thank you!
I get flyers and see these video's and I'll betcha I have one of the best homes around for dogs such as these, but don't know how to adopt one. How???
ASPCA & many breed-specific rescue groups abound. There's probably an ASPCA in your town, in fact. And you can go on line to find out about any particular breed you might be interested in. BTW the same applies if you're interested in horses & other large animals.
Debra, I adopted my Cavalier from HUA.org she was a puppy mill rescue. HUA does a lot of puppy mill rescues and they will also do long distance adoptions. HUA is located in Nebraska and I live in Delaware. They are a good organization. Good luck you wont be sorry :-)
contact the ASPCA they should be able to provide you with the information you need. Most animal shelters in various areas should be able to assist you too.
I got my rescue Jack Russell from the local pound here in Woodbridge, VA. Here's a great dog, took some TLC because he was so nervous!
National Mill Dog Rescue in Colorado, 888-495-DOGS, would be a good resource for you.
You can contact the ASPCA or the HSUS directly - they are the ones that usually do direct puppy mill rescue - or you can use petfinder.com to see adoptable animals in your area (you enter your zip code).
If you want to help further afield, charities such as Turkish Animal Group, Soi Dog (Thailand), or Nowzad Dogs rescue horrifically abused animals and try to find them loving homes anywhere in the world (usually North America, Europe, or Australia).
This option is not easy. I made several calls to ASPCA in 3 states trying to adopt one of these Jacks and it was impossible. I even offered to drive from Florida to Michigan to adopt one. No one seemed to be able to help. I believe this is an area of the ASPCA that needs some assistance. Many of us want to help out by adopting, but no one seems to know how to direct us.
Jennifer that is because it is the ASPCA and they are more about the donations. You should probably ask them what facilities these dogs were turned over to, as for 95% were probably euthanized. I use to donate to them,but having the same problem you did made me realize they are really not the Humane Society, now I donate to my local shelters only. These people do none of the work on rescues and your local shelter receives none of the donation money.

Nowhere moments
- Posted by ruben
- 23 September 2013
The middle of nowhere is a funny place. Even if you visit it a million times, it's almost impossible to tell anyone else how to get there, because the middle of nowhere is as much about your state of mind as the place you're in.
If you're on the side of a mountain with no houses, planes or roads in view and your phone suddenly chirps out to let you know you got a tweet, you're not there.
If you're in the woods with only the wind in the leaves and the sound of the rain for company and you thinking about bills and TV schedules, you're not there.
The middle of nowhere means going where the roads don't, to find your space and clear your head.
And it's not always about going into the wild either, it could be much closer than you might think.
Nowhere can be a hard place to find, but you'll know it when you get there.

Monica Romyn has a strong resolution about life — play the hand you are dealt.
From birth, she received some ominous cards, diagnosed with a potentially debilitating genetic disorder — neurofibromatosis. She will be on hand Sunday afternoon for an NF fundraiser at the North Carolina History Center to benefit the Children's Tumor Foundation.
There are several types of NF, and it can include enlargement and deformation of bones, curvature of the spine, tumors and learning disabilities.
Now 31, Romyn describes her lifelong bout with NF as "mild."
She works with special needs children as a service coordinator for Child Development Service Agency in New Bern, for children to age 3.
"We go into the homes," she said. "I work with the families and get them any services they need."
The can range from physical therapy, occupational therapy or speech.
She realized that special needs were her calling after working with autistic children at Camp Royall, near Pittsboro in 2003.
"I want to be there as a role model in the special needs community," she said.
Romyn learned about special needs early in life.
She was diagnosed at six-weeks-old when her father Anton noticed unusual freckling.
"If my daddy hadn't been a doctor, I probably would have been a late diagnosis," she said.
Her motor skills were slow to develop and she had numerous headaches as she grew up in Fayetteville. Other effects include learning disabilities, with tumors at any nerve ending.
She still goes for bi-yearly checks at Duke University Hospital. She still has severe migraines.
The splotches, which look like bruising, developed on her stomach, back, arms and legs.
There have been 70 to 80 tumors. The tumors can be removed and they can return.
"I have pain, bone pain a lot," she said. "But, I deal with it. I have a very high pain tolerance."
Because she was adopted, there are no records as to any family history of the disease.
"It is genetic. If I have kids, my children have a 50 percent chance of having NF," she said. "If I marry a man with the trait, there is a 75 percent chance."
She said the disease comes along in one in 3,000 people.
Having NF did not keep her from being active as a child, including dancing, despite a lot of pain. When she was 10, her tibia broke.
"I was going down a slide and it just snapped," she said. "We think it was because of it (NF)."
Because there is no cure, she knew from childhood that it would follow her through life. She pondered how to handle that possibility, aided by what she called a sound, caring and responsible upbringing by her parents.
"You have a choice. You can lie down and die if you get diagnosed or you can go out and fight," she said. "Neurofibromatosis has made me who I am today. If I wouldn't have had it, I wouldn't have the passion I have for working with special needs children."
She passes her approach on to parents of children she works with.
"Just because you have a diagnosis doesn't mean you can't go to college. It doesn't mean you can't fulfill your dreams," she said. "That is so important that you can."
In her case, Romyn is now working on a masters' degree in counseling at Liberty University in Virginia. Her undergraduate degree in human ecology is from ECU.
"I didn't let it stop me," she said. "You deal with this. You have your bad days, but then you have your good days."
She relates this to parents of children she works with as well as to other NF victims.
"I can tell parents this is what happened in my life. I have learned it first hand and it has made me compassionate and it has made me thankful. I am very lucky," she said. "There are lots of patients that are covered in tumors, have scoliosis, are in wheelchairs or have seizures. I don't have that. I have a mild case and I have had to fight for some things in my life. But, it has made me who I am and I would never change having NF."
According to the Child Tumor Foundation web site, there is also NF2, also known as Bilateral Acoustic, which occurs in every 25,000 births.
It is "characterized by multiple tumors on the cranial and spinal nerves, and by other lesions of the brain and spinal cord. Tumors affecting both of the auditory nerves are the hallmark. Hearing loss beginning in the teens or early twenties is generally the first symptom."

Comments about Giro Air Attack Shield Helmet 2014:
I have been looking for alternative to wear my prescription glasses particularly when riding at night. My contact lenses just don't do well in poorly lit conditions. The Air Attack helmet works well with my prescription glasses even with fairly large plastic frames the shield has enough clearance, and conversely a thinner metal frame would give one more clearance. My fellow riders were "kidding" me about this helmet, because it looks fast. Let's just say, I felt the helmet had good ventilation, the shield is super clear and without glasses, your field of vision is amazing without obstruction. One note, I do like to wear a mirror on my glasses when I ride, so with the shield on, the mirror on the glasses option will not work. I believe there are other options to mount directly on the helmet, but that may not look too cool. For the meantime I will have to learn to use this without a rear-view mirror.

Men's Basketball Makes it 2-for-2 as Humphrey Earns Week Two Player of the Week Honors
November 30, 2010
HIGH POINT, N.C. – Pfeiffer University's Josh Humphrey (Matthews, NC) has been selected as the NCAA Division II Conference Carolinas men's Basketball Player of the Week during week number two in the 2010-2011 season.

In just 23 minutes of action off the bench, Humphrey hit on 70% from the floor (7-for-10) and went 5-of-7 (71.4%) from three-point land.
