Reardon should give Snohomish County voters a choice
Bringing positive change is why I chose to seek the chairmanship of the Snohomish County Democratic Central Committee. I've proudly spent the better part of the last twelve or so years working hard alongside others for our party and for the purpose of bringing positive change. For me, and the organization I lead, we find that the path to positive change is illuminated by four words: Hope, Community, Empowerment and Progress. I'm sure the executive would agree that these four words can bring about amazing opportunity even from the most challenging of circumstances. We've seen these words shape history time and time again. In many ways they shape our democracy and form the foundation of country.
In practice, every election is based on hope, community, empowerment and progress. Not long ago the citizens of our community were empowered with the choice of deciding who they wanted to serve and bring progress to our county. They clearly chose Aaron Reardon in that election. Now, after a number of questions of public trust have been levied and the toll that has taken on the office, the county staff, and the executive himself -- it's time to move on. He's announced his resignation and a time to press forward as a county and community is upon us. For the continued and future success of our county hinges on leadership that garners confidence from the public it serves.
As part of the process in filling a partisan vacancy the Snohomish County Democratic Central Committee will be choosing three nominees to move forward for final consideration by the Snohomish County Council. We are confident we will forward three exceptional nominees, any of whom could hit the ground running to guarantee continuity of government, start the healing process and begin to restore the public trust. All things that I'm sure the people of the county want to see.
Clearly there is public interest in a quick, successful resolution and in moving the county forward. For many, this means they'd like their moment of hope, community, empowerment and progress. For many will want the executive to resign earlier than he has announced and a vote this year on the ballot, with the replacement serving the shortest time before needing to face election. There are certainly arguments to be made for adding a special short-term election to this year's ballot. It gives the citizens of the county their voice in the matter at the soonest possible moment. It would potentially begin the healing on a grander scale and give us all a moment to begin progress as a community.
Your Snohomish County Democrats stand ready to fulfill the role that the law and situation require of us as a political party. We also hope the community will be empowered with their decision earlier, so that we might all share in the process and get back to the business of the people.
Aaron Reardon will always be a friend of mine. Like many people we'll always make different choices and approach things as we need to -- as individuals. He'll leave behind a strong fiscal legacy, among other things; however, how he chooses to write his final chapter as executive is truly up to him. My hope is that he'll write the chapter with the quickest path to progress for our county and our citizens. With that behind him he can best begin his next endeavor and the county can move forward.
Richard Wright was elected chairman of the Snohomish County Democratic Central Committee in December 2012.

RYAN VREDE writes that defence, not attack, should be the national obsession.
So much has been said about the Springboks' attack, many lamenting the impotency thereof up until Saturday when they ran in five tries against Australia at Loftus. However, that attacking performance was rooted in brutal, accurate and disciplined defence that pressured the Wallabies into taking risks, on which the Springboks capitalised.
With defences of elite teams so sophisticated in the modern game, turnovers and penalties forced through a strong tackle fight and breakdown contest is a primary source of points. The Springboks' potency in these facets of play is highly encouraging.
They had struggled in this regard against Argentina and when facing Australia in Perth, with those opponents consistently bossing the gainline and controlling the flow and tempo of their attacks. The Springboks were regularly made to defend with an unset line, which complicated their task.
There was, however, a dramatic improvement against the All Blacks in Dunedin and against the Wallabies in Pretoria at the weekend. The Blacks looked decidedly ordinary in the face of a highly impressive defensive effort. Both their tries stemmed from individual errors – the first a poorly aimed kick that presented a broken field opportunity and the second through poor defensive positioning from prop Dean Greyling. Australia's lone try at Loftus came when the Springboks had already sealed the result. They had never seriously threatened the whitewash prior to that.
There are a handful of reasons for the Springboks' rise. Firstly, the team has had time to learn and understand defence coach John McFarland's approach. Continuity in selection has aided their cause here as well. There is a growing cohesiveness about every aspect of their defence.
Furthermore, Francois Louw's inclusion in the starting line-up has been significant. Coach Heyneke Meyer has previously stressed that he believes in the value an opensider brings, but wouldn't include a specialist whose prowess didn't extend to effective ball carrying. Louw fits that bill, but his ability to steal or slow the recycle remains his main asset. Eighthman Duane Vermeulen has made important contributions as well, particularly at Loftus. The Springboks' threat in this regard will be amplified when hooker Bismarck du Plessis recovers from injury.
I understand the importance of the Springboks' attack improving, but disciplined, pressure defence is what will create the opportunities, often against a scattered line, against the best teams in the game. For this reason I'm encouraged by what I've seen from the Springboks in their last two Tests. Defence must be the bedrock upon which they mount their challenge in the coming years.

With all of Greg Thompson's travels for triathlons during the past two decades, nothing could have been much more convenient than Saturday morning's competition based at Lake Cammack Park and Marina.
Thompson, a Burlington resident for less than two years, took top honors by winning the 10th installment of the event.
"It worked out just right," Thompson said after winning in 1 hour, 6 minutes, 22 seconds. "What more could you ask for?"
Thompson, 40, lived in California and Illinois before relocating here with a job at Precor in Whitsett. He once competed in triathlons with higher stakes.
"In the (1990s), I was racing pro," he said. "So now I'm 40 and doing it more as a hobby. It's still hard coming out here with these guys."
Clayton Tillery of Cumming, Ga., was second in 1:07:02 and David Williams of Durham was third in 1:07:16.
In the women's division, Lauryn Grae MacFawn of Lavale, Md., was the winner. She placed ninth overall in 1:11:00, while Brianne Gaal of Cary was runner-up in 1:13:20.
With ideal overcast conditions with a cooling breeze creating a more comfortable setting than in many years, there were 238 finishers in the individual competition. There were 35 relays consisting of three members per team.
The race consisted of a 750-meter swim, 15-mile bike ride and 5-kilometer run.
Thompson said even though he has a different mindset from past years, some elements haven't changed.
"It hurts just as much," Thompson said. "(In the morning prior to the race), I was still just as nervous."
Thompson was second after the swim and, despite leading on the bike for an estimated 30 seconds before Williams surged ahead, was second entering the run. He said he figured he wouldn't be able to make ground.
"All of a sudden I had this burst of energy," Thompson said, referring to the final five minutes.
MacFawn, 23, has been an entrant on multiple occasions. Her mother, father and brother often stop for the competition on the way to a family vacation in Wrightsville Beach.
"We always stop to do a race on the way," MacFawn said. "It's something we always do."
MacFawn is a 2012 Syracuse graduate about to enter veterinary school at Virginia Tech. She trained as an undergraduate often in different conditions.
"I put on a lot of layers," she said of sometimes-chilly conditions.
Joanna Younts of Chapel Hill placed third among the women in a time of 1:15:27, good for 21st overall. She was in between major competitions after a late-June race in Williamsburg, Va., and October's race in Anderson, S.C.
"I'm trying to race myself back into shape," Younts said.
Younts, who's originally from Maryland and a 1989 North Carolina graduate, was in the third wave of competitors at the starting area. She had competed in Burlington's triathlon in the past, saying she enjoys the hilly cycling portion
"It's close to home and they do such a good job," Younts said. "I remember it being a good, fun race."
There was some confusion at times about the order of the top finishers. Thompson's bib number was misread by the announcer, so he headed into the finishing area introduced under another name.
Then unofficial results listed Williams as the overall winner though he informed race officials of the inaccuracy in that listing. Eventually, it was determined that Thompson was the correct champion.
On the women's side, it appeared that Younts was the winner based on some initial calculations. Then during the postrace ceremony, it was announced that Gaal had won. Gaal had a mark of 1:13:49, apparently putting her 18th overall.
Area age-group winners included Mebane's Lisa Hecker (female, 35-39-year-old division, 1:17:48), Elon's Amanda Sommer (female 40-45, 1:23:44), Mebane's Jane Landen (female, 65-69, 2:15:77), Lucien Gauthier (male, 13-15, 1:41:11) and Hillsborough's Ed DiGangi (male, 65-69, 1:44:56).
Among the relays, a team called New Zebra Review won the female division in 1:22:03. Raleigh First Assembly won the male class in 1:02:22. BYG Team claimed the mixed division in 1:14:23.

Lady Meredith Brookshire has every right to Oak Run. Now that she's suddenly husbandless and penniless, where else would she, her addled father, and spinster aunt reside? Yet who should appear but Nicholas Caulfield, the new Brookshire heir, claiming the estate is rightfully his by law. The brute is as arrogant as he is handsome-besides, he's supposed to be dead. And the only plan resourceful Meredith can devise to save her family from homelessness is a desperate scheme that may lead her to salvation or ruin . . . and the bed of the man she has vowed to hate.
A reluctant aristocrat, Nick does not trust this fiery, infuriating chit whom he suspects of subterfuge-yet who bewitches him with her innocent green eyes.

Nick can't bear the thought of her wedding any man but him.

Antihistamines for Severe Allergic Reactions
Antihistamines for Severe Allergic Reactions
Topic Overview
Antihistamine pills are included in allergy kits to stop or reduce itching, hives, sneezing and wheezing, and other symptoms caused by an allergic reaction . Examples of antihistamines include diphenhydramine (such as Benadryl) and chlorpheniramine (such as Chlorphen and Chlor-Trimeton). The antihistamine pills are not a substitute for an epinephrine shot.
Many allergic symptoms, such as hives and wheezing, occur when a chemical called histamine is released as part of the allergic reaction to an allergen . Antihistamine medicines block the release of histamine.
Antihistamines can make people sleepy or make it harder for them to concentrate. These medicines should be used carefully by people who need to drive or operate heavy machinery. Other side effects include dry mouth, nausea and vomiting, restlessness or irritability (especially in children), inability to urinate, and blurred vision.
Don't give antihistamines to your child unless you've checked with the doctor first.

Soda is probably indeed unhealthy, but turns out, oddly, that all the research seems to show that drinking coffee is actually good for you.

That is one option. On the other hand, I have 8 - 10 coffees a day. I never get the jitters or caffeine headaches. I guess I just detoxify it slowly enough that I never get to zero caffeine.
Perhaps it is skipping the soft drinks rather than the caffeine that makes you feel healthier?

I think this is due to the type of beans and the roast. Lighter roasts don't break down as much of the caffeine as a darker roast, and cheaper robusta beans contain more caffeine to begin with. A cup of strong tasting dark roast arabica coffee will typically have less caffeine than a watery cup of light roast robusta truck stop coffee.

FWIW, McDonalds has been using 100% arabica coffee for maybe 4 or 5 years now. Which I guess really hammers the point that there are an awful lot of variables when it comes to coffee, species and roast among them.
That said, and I'm kind of ashamed to admit it, I don't completely hate McDonalds coffee. Seems to go well with their heart-exploding other breakfast items. While I'd put fast food chain coffee near the bottom of my coffee list, I'd put theirs on the top of the fast food bracket.

I went off the bean almost a year ago. The symptoms lasted for almost ten days, and the first four or so days were absolute HELL.
It varies a lot from person to person. If I forget to drink coffee for a couple of days, I spend a day or two with a splitting headache, no energy, and a sick feeling all over. I'm then fine. Some people have the same symptoms for longer, others just have mild lethargy.

Likewise. I get most of my caffeine from chocolate and cola, but eating either of them is not part of my routine.
I was given a fancy coffee once (about 5 years ago). I politely drank it (I don't mind the taste), than ran to the toilet half an hour later for the longest wee ever...
So you are saying, "missing option: I don't use caffeine and I am smug about it".
Not quite, I see SO many people that "need" their morning cup of coffee and complain when they don't get it, since way before Starbucks was around or popular. I never wanted to be that way, and now I see people that have to spend $5 a day or more for coffee, and I am even more glad I resisted ever drinking it.
I don't use caffeine because it gives me tunnel vision and migraine headaches.
I get that when I disregard my dosage protocol. More than five cups, or less than one, can do it.

You may want to rethink getting addicted to coffee as something unhealthy. By and large, the medical & scientific community seem to agree that for most people, the health benefits of drinking coffee [google.com] outweigh the risks.

I've bailed on Coffee again. I find too much caffeine makes me edgy and irritable. A light dose from Green Tea is sufficient for most work days. So I have Green Tea with Coconut or Green Tea with Apricot, saving Genmaicha for special days when I want something with a richer taste.
I had a major caffeine dependency in the mid 1990's, going through a pound of Kona in about a week to a week and a half. The stuff I drank was like tar and what I didn't have during breakfast went into a large travel mug with me to work, which I'd sip throughout the day. I was working 14-16 hour days and ruining my physical and mental health, with caffeine as the enabling agent. When I finally wrapped up the projects which were at the core of my labors I took a long weekend, without coffee and realized what I had sunk to and was allowing to happen to myself to meet other people's goals. I started looking for a new place to work, where I could put in 8 hours, get some sun and exercise, enjoy a bit of life and not spend Saturdays going through detox, only to restart the cycle on Monday mornings.
For my tastes Starbucks makes their coffee far to strong. A medium cup will usually last me 2 days. When I make my own coffee it's fairly thin as the first hit of caffeine has the greatest impact, with a declining rate of return on successive sips. Loading the body up with caffeine at some point has no other effect then to channel body energies into overriding it - which creates the physical wreck I once was.
Back when I created this account (see loathed username) I couldn't handle caffeine and was prone to shaking and tremors if I did. Now that I can (I don't know what changed, but for the past few years it's been okay) I find that I don't need it. Alas that I cannot redefine my identity here, too...
My mom let me have a sip of coffee when I was about 5. Every now and then, I have a sip of someone's and think "Yep, this is still disgusting." With sufficient cream or caramel flavoring, it becomes tolerable. I do drink Coke, but have been meaning to cut back. (Right now it's usually one 12oz. per workday.)

Coworker: I switch to root beer in the afternoon so I don't get all jittery on caffeine.
Me: Barq's has caffeine.
Coworker: That explains a lot.
A&W and Dad's are classic root beers with great, smooth taste. IMO nothing beats either one freshly served from the keg (vs the standard syrup mixed into water at the time of serving you see at most places).
But Barq's has bite, and being the only national name brand with caffiene (though there are several smaller brands that do too) it also gets a place in the acceptable root beer list.
But I still prefer fresh A&W

Order the yerba (the weed itself) in 1 kilo bags, 10 or 12 at a time to amortize the shipping cost, which is usually too high for a single bag.Get a nice mate (=cup=gourd) and bombilla (straw with strainer).

I will admit that I do love the taste of coffee, but most of the time caffeine fucks me up. I've occasionally tried decaff, but it's shit, I'd rather just go without or risk take the hit.
I find tea never gives me the same issues, so I'm a 5+ cups a day man. I've only been up 3 hours, and I've had 3 cups already (I did a big pot of 10 year old pu-erh), so I guess today will be a 10-cup day. I have blacks, whites, oolongs, greens, and even some tea-less teas (rooibos
Yep, it's feeding an addition.
Caffeine is physiologically addicting, and detoxification takes a long time and is unpleasant. A cup of coffee contains about 2-3 times a reasonable therapeutic dose, which makes addiction really, really easy.
If I were prescribing caffeine to an average, healthy adult male, I'd say 3 cans of Diet Coke (equiv. one cup of coffee) spaced evenly throughout the day, and expect at least two days of hangover-like symptoms after quitting.
Even though I suggested it, in some ways I'm in two minds about caffeine addiction. I think some people, even those with addiction-prone personalities (I hate the term "addictive personalities"), such as myself, just don't get caffeine.
There was a time when I'd stick 8 cups of strong percolated coffee down me a day, and I don't recall any caffeine-addiction like symptions. I claim I was more of a taste-related addiction than a biochemically-active-compound addict. It was only one particular coffee brand and

I'm English. I grew up in a family of tea-swillers who will routinely work through several pints of the stuff every day, with some coffees on top. My in-laws are much the same. In fact everybody I know seems to consume huge amounts of caffeine, all day every day. It's endemic. I have no idea what the average caffeine intake is around here, but it has to be pretty high. If they were drinking beer at that frequency, everybody would be walking around constantly half drunk.
I don't drink tea (except when I'm ill) and I can't stand coffee. I will very occasionally drink cola/ lemonade / similar if I'm at the pub and not drinking beer, or as a mixer. I will eat a small amount of chocolate a few times a week. Most people tell me I'm one of the most laid-back people they know.
In my younger days, I went out drinking and spent an entire night consuming red bull + vodka. I got to bed at 3 or 4 in the morning, feeling pretty good. Went straight to sleep.. Being used to alcohol, my body processed off the vodka quite quickly. However the caffeine affected me a lot more profoundly. By seven in the morning I was up, cooking dinner and vacuming. By eight I was watching Dr Who with my face 8 inches from the screen and twitching uncontrollably.
Not really sure what I'm saying, or what point I'm trying to make. I do think the world would be a better place if people consumed less caffeine.

Nicotine (any form, but snus is best)
Bacon (food of the gods)

You're saying oral sex is nutritious? A lot of people here won't swallow that.
I have found a cup of timely coffee to be a mood enhancer, not merely a caffeine-delivery solution. It loses efficacy if I overdone, but around 20 ounces (.6 liter) of a light to medium blend first thing in the morning and again mid-afternoon are incredibly invigorating.

I drink two 20 oz cups of green tea most days at work. It's low in caffeine so I don't get too bad withdrawals (which are almost always day-long migraines) from it, and good quality green tea tastes nice enough by itself I don't need to add sweeteners to it.
Otherwise, a couple of times a year I like a nice, thick, rich and super sweet coffee drink, about half milk half water...
I found it surprising that tea surpassed soda in the poll. I guess that is just because in my professional life, I hardly ever see anybody drinking tea. I do from time to time, maybe a few times a year, but soda is a several times a day drink for me and for most people I know.
I discovered it when I took the factory tour of Celestial Seasonings. It's a highly caffeinated black tea and is mighty good and according to the packaging more caffeinated than coffee. You can only get it at the factory and online though. I highly recommend it! CAN YOU TELL I AM DRINKING IT NOW?

by DarthBling (1733038) on Thursday February 14, 2013 @01:27PM (#42897165)I used to drink a quite a bit of coffee about two years ago. I'd brew up a pot in the morning, have a cup before leaving for work, and then bring a 16 oz thermos with me to work. Visiting my parents usually involved sitting around the kitchen drinking a pot of coffee in the morning and then another pot in the afternoon.
But, I started having really bad PVST episodes (heart palpitations) while I was exercising. So I dropped caffeine in the hope it would help, and it did. Instead of severe PVST several times a week, I'd have a mild episode maybe once or twice a month.
Luckily for me, caffeine withdrawal wasn't bad at all. What really got me was how dependent I was on caffeine to supplement my bad sleep habits. It took maybe three months before I could finally operate normally again, without feeling completely run down and like I needed a nap. In fact, I feel better now than when I drank coffee.
But what I really missed most about coffee wasn't the coffee, it was having a nice hot drink to sip on. And just recently I've discovered tea! Yes, tea does have caffeine, but for some reason it doesn't give me PVST when I exercise. So now I'm a tea drinker. I prefer black teas to green teas. For some reason, green teas seem to give me a weird headache feeling (like too much caffeine or something).
Normal tea blends have much less caffeine than your average coffee. Assuming you're only drinking a few cups of tea a day, you're unlikely to be approaching anything even remotely like the amount of caffeine you were consuming when you were drinking through a couple of communal pots of coffee each day.

I've been able to have Lucid Dreams for a long time, and never really trained for it. It just came naturally. A few years later, a few people told me they had Out of Body experiences. I thought it was all crap, at most Lucid Dreams that they didn't regard as dreams, or some correlation of the sort. But one of them specifically was a very intelligent and reasonable man, it didn't made much sense to me.
I researched around the net and found places that actually tought you how to train to do it. Since I had easy lucid dreams, I thought it could probably make this easier than normal, and it couldn't hurt to try. I tryied a few times and got nowhere. I felt my heart beating with tremendous accuracy and what-not, but no actually OBB. I never took the discussion elsewhere, because any forum I'd ask I'd probably get a whole lotta biased responses on the subject. But this is the perfect forum for such a discussion!
I'm talking about induced OOB, not near death experiences, although it would be nice to hear a take on that from someone that had it and is STILL an atheist/agnosthic. I don't discard the possibility of another dimension, spirits or what-not (although I think they are very unlikelly); I think another dimension and a possible conection with this one could PHYSICALLY exist, and yet have no connection to god or religion or the paranormal whatsoever. We just aren't advanced enough to scientifically see it yet (if it were the case, which I think is unlikelly despite this paragraph seemingly pointing otherwise)
So what I really want to get to is this:
Are you an atheist/agnostic, skeptic, non-supersticious, and had a OOBE? If so, was it actually an OOB or just a dream-like stuff just confined to your mind?

About Kendrick Lamar
He's the "Hottest MC in the Game" (11/21/14)
Is there a hotter artist in music right now than Kendrick Lamar? Not according to MTV, which in early 2013 crowned Lamar the No. 1 "Hottest MC in the Game." How prophetic.
Lamar went on to open 2014 with a total of seven Grammy nominations at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist, Album of the Year and Best Rap Song. Though he didn't take home any of those trophies, he collected some hardware at the 2014 BET Hip Hop Awards and also earned a nomination for Best Male Hip Hop Artist at the 2014 BET Awards.
Lamar has been hard at work on a new album he hoped to have out by September. He's been hyping the record since the end of February, when he told Billboard magazine there was also the possibility of a debut effort from the Black Hippy collective. And while working on both of those projects, Lamart also managed to premiere his short film "m.A.A.d" at Sundance's inaugural NEXT Fest in Los Angeles on August 9.
On September 23, Lamar released a song titled "i," as the first single from his upcoming album. Then, on November 15, he once again appeared on NBC's famed "Saturday Night Live" as the musical guest, where he performed "i," as well as "Pay For It" alongside Jay Rock. Lamar performed on the show with blackout contacts and his braids partly out, paying homage to the 20th anniversary of the debut album of New York-based rapper Method Man.
About Kendrick Lamar - From Mixtapes to Master of his Craft (Updated November 28, 2012)
Like other rap and hip-hop artists who had come before him, Kendrick Lamar didn't turn heads with a media blitz or a reality show appearance. Instead, the youngster from California gained a following thanks to a series of mixtapes and a self-titled EP, not to mention the backing of some very powerful artists.
Lamar, who cites Tupac Shakur as his biggest influence, began recording mixtapes when he was just a teen. He released his first compilation in 2003 at the age of 16, and five years later made a cameo appearance in the music video for Jay Rock's debut single, "All My Life (In the Ghetto)." Still performing as "K-Dot," he dropped the stage name in 2009 to release the self-titled "Kendrick Lamar EP" in late 2009.
With a strong following and an upward career trajectory, Lamar toured with Jay Rock and Tech N9ne on "The Independent Grind" tour in 2010. That September, he also released "Overly Dedicated," a mixtape which garnered the attention of Dr. Dre and led to Lamar working with the legendary hip hop producer and Snoop Dog on Dre's "Detox" album.
In March 2012, Lamar entered into a joint venture deal with Top Dawg Entertainment, Interscope Records and Aftermath Entertainment. He premiered his commercial debut single, "The Recipe," the following month, and his first official album, "Good Kid, M.A.A.D City," bowed on October 22. It debuted at No. 2 on the US Billboard 200 and earned the highest first-week hop hop album sales of 2012 for a male artist.

This one was not so fun.
Game six of the seven-game road trip looked like this team was just tired of being away from the Target Center. The energy was low, the effort was inadequate and the Wolves just seemed like they wanted out of there. I don't really blame them. Not having Pekovic and Rubio has taken a toll on this team. The inside of the lane is a lot harder to patrol for the Wolves on both ends. The top of the defense is trying, but they're just not the same without Rubio and his elastic wingspan deterring basic passes around the perimeter and into the post.
Gregg Popovich probably knew exactly how this game was going to go. Without Pekovic inside, he was going to make Love be a primary defender against the older but still effective Tim Duncan. If the Wolves fought back early, he'd probably unleash Manu and Parker drives all night. If not, he'd let Timmy break the will of Minnesota by showing them that even this old man could kick their butts on any given night. The Spurs had their perimeter attack waiting in the wings (no pun intended… okay, maybe it was a little intended) to unleash on a tired and road weary Wolves team. The Spurs are number one in the league in 3-point percentage and they'll break your backs and runs with it.
In the end, the Wolves just were outmanned and out-energized for this game. One more Friday night in OKC before they get to come home and reacquaint themselves with home briefly. Grades after the jump. Continue reading Spurs 116, Wolves 100: The long and weary road is long and weary

The world in which we live has plenty of problems: hunger, poverty, global warming and bikini calendars that get ruined in water.
Well, you can scratch that last one off the list thanks to the entrepreneurs at a company called Unigirl USA.
I received a press release — one of many I received last week — but none carried such important news as the one from Unigirl. It touted the company's creation of the "world's first waterproof bikini calendar."
Oh sure, you may scoff at this idea, but who wants their bikini calendar ruined because someone spills a drink on it?
Dare I say, no one. See, not so crazy after all.
As part of the release, Unigirl said it was announcing the production of "the world's first completely waterproof calendar featuring Canada's most attractive and intelligent female post-secondary students," according to the release.
Now, I could make some joke here at Canada's expense about the ability of the country to find both attractive and intelligent female students, but I'll skip that one in favor of staying on topic.
Apparently, the calendars use some "high-tech polymer" to protect the paper from getting ruined if it gets wet, smeared with mustard, covered with pizza, soaked in beer or smothered in chicken wing sauce.
The company actually has a YouTube video — I watched it purely for research purposes mind you — that demonstrates how its bikini calendars are protected under such circumstances, while a normal calendar is ruined and tears apart.
"Now the exceptionally beautiful and intelligent women that grace our pages will stay pristine," company founder and president Sanford Siddall is quoted as saying in the release.
Yep, I can't tell you how many times I've had a bikini calendar ruined because I spilled mustard on it.
Well, OK. I don't ever recall having a bikini calendar, and I don't even like mustard, but I'm sure you see my point.
The company says it is marketing the waterproof bikini calendars to college students, adding that thousands use the product to "get organized."
Sure, because if I was in college, getting organized is exactly what I would use a bikini calendar for. I mean, what else would they be used for? Certainly not just to look at.
Siddall said in the release that the creation of the waterproof bikini calendar will "revolutionize" the industry.
"We're shocked that Maxim, or Sports Illustrated Swimsuit haven't thought of this already and proud to be the first to the market!" he said.
Yeah, shocked is probably the right word.
I will say the company donates 10 percent of sales to charity, and you can go to the website www.unigirlusa.com for more details.
I went to the website — again purely for research — and noticed a variety of calendars available. Unigirl may not be able to solve the world's problems, but at the least, it looks like they make a nice calendar.

1. I've actually disabled mobile view to make it work properly. It's surprisingly more responsive without it. That's done in PL.
2. There's a whole bunch of them, but candidly, they have limited success. I have... Bad Behavior (no comments about my forum responses please, lol); Ban Hammer; and Skt NURCaptcha.
3. I didn't, but I think Vanilla has an export functionality. How it works, I have no idea. I'm sure both Vanilla and BuddyPress have some documentation on exporting/importing. Go to the full post

text: Has anyone tried using a Hydra? I have one from back when they were calling it a multi-purpose, and I ended up not liking it as a mid-range. I haven't thrown it in a while, but now Innova's calling it a putter. I'm going to give it a shot the next time I play, but does anyone here have any experience putting with one?

Roberts is so bad defensively.
We really need Anderson to get out of this slump.
Lopez comes out and our team d goes down the drain.
My Anthony Davis website: http://thebrow.uphero.com/
Typical. The art of the opposite shoulder fade seems forgotten by everyone but Kobe and MarShon Brooks.
Why in God's green earth does Monty try to force feed Henry. That guy sucks, 80% of the time something bad happens.
X gets isos and Davis is just the 2nd guy to pass the ball every possession except the first one when he scored on his first attempt.
This is what drives me up the wall about Vasquez. Take the first good shot. The Xs and Os are designed to give you open opportunities exactly like you just had.
Aminu sure loves to spectate. Shows a lot of emotion from the bench.
We should totally trade Lopez.
Dude is garbage and not starter worthy in this league or this team.
another career game for lopez yet we're still losing again
Rivers seems to lollygag when he's moving without the ball. Could be why Mason is getting more minutes.
If he comes off that curl he could get free if he hustles.
Lopez steady improving. Trade him? Heck naw.
I wanna keep Lopez
we really dont utilize AD enough. give him some looks on the block

In this class we will study the 16 Bodhisattva precepts as the full expression of our awakened nature, and reflect on how to skillfully practice them. We will look at the origin of the precepts, discuss and explore precept practice in situations of daily life, and prepare for the full moon ceremonies of October and November. There will also be an opportunity to write, learn and recite by heart, and work in smaller groups. Practicing the Precepts is the gate to Zen practice and a way to bring the compassion and the wisdom of the Buddha into our lives.
