Plant and animal life
Many plants of the coast, including mangroves and various saltwater grasses, grow in shallow brackish water and help to protect or extend the land. The wet savanna behind the coast has coarse tufted grasses and a wide scattering of palms, notably the coconut, the truli, and the manicole. High rainforest, or selva, covers about three-fourths of the land area and is of extraordinary variety and magnificence. Prominent trees include the greenheart and the wallaba on the sandy soils of the northern edge, the giant mora and the crabwood on swampy sites, the balata and other latex producers, and many species such as the siruaballi and the hubaballi that yield handsome cabinet woods. The interior savanna is mostly open grassland, with much bare rock, many termite hills, and clumps of ita palm.
All forms of animal life are immensely varied and abundant, though few, apart from birds and insects, are normally visible. The tapir is the country's largest land mammal, and the jaguar is the largest and fiercest of the cats, which also include the ocelot; monkeys and deer are the most common animals. Among the more exotic species are the sloth, the great anteater, the capybara (bush pig), and the armadillo. Birds include the vulture, the kiskadee, the blue sacki, the hummingbird, the kingfisher, and the scarlet ibis of the coast and lower rivers and the macaw, the tinamou, the bell-bird, and the cock-of-the-rock in the forest and savanna. The caiman (a reptile similar to the alligator) is the most common of the larger freshwater creatures. The giant anaconda, or water boa, is the largest of the many kinds of snakes, and the bushmaster is the most vicious. Lizards are numerous and include the iguana in the lower rivers. Sharks and stingrays are found offshore. The snapper and the grouper are common ocean fish, and shrimp abounds in the muddy currents off the coast. The manatee is also common in Guyanese waters. Among the freshwater fish is the huge piraucu, which attains lengths up to 14 feet (430 cm).
Ethnic groups
South Asians form the largest ethnic group in the country—they represent more than two-fifths of the population—and have been increasing more rapidly than other groups. Their ancestors arrived mostly as indentured labour from India to replace Africans in plantation work. Today South Asians remain the mainstay of plantation agriculture, and many are independent farmers and landowners; they also have done well in trade and are well represented among the professions.
Afro-Guyanese (Guyanese of African descent) make up about one-third of the population. They abandoned the plantations after full emancipation in 1838 to become independent peasantry or town dwellers. People of mixed ancestry constitute about one-sixth of the population. While every possible ethnic mixture can be found in Guyana, mulattoes (people of mixed African and European ancestry) are the most common.
The indigenous peoples of Guyana constitute slightly less than one-tenth of the population. They are grouped into coastal and interior groups. Coastal groups include the Warao (Warrau), the Arawak, and the Carib. Peoples of the interior include the Wapisiana (Wapishana), the Arekuna, the Macusí (Macushí), and many more in the forest areas. The Macusí and the Wapisiana are the most prominent in the Rupununi Savanna region. Sizable concentrations of Indians inhabit the far west along the border with Venezuela and Brazil. They are rarely seen in the populated coastal areas, although some have mixed with the Afro-Guyanese and South Asians. Since 1970, traditional Indian lands near the international borders have come under government control, although Indians continue to hold village lands informally throughout Guyana's interior. Major concessions to logging and gold-mining companies starting in the late 20th century have damaged the lands and polluted the rivers of many Indian groups, forcing some to leave and seek work in Venezuela and Brazil.
Like the South Asians, many Chinese and Portuguese people also entered Guyana originally as agricultural labourers, but they are now rarely found outside the towns. They are active in business and the professions, and their influence is disproportionate to their numbers; they have not been increasing, however, and together they constitute only a tiny percentage of the population. Brazilians represent a small but growing minority group.
Languages and religion
The official and principal language is English, but a creole patois is spoken throughout the country. Hindi and Urdu are heard occasionally among older South Asians. The major religions are Christian (chiefly Anglican and Roman Catholic) and Hindu. Various forms of Protestant Christianity made inroads in the 20th century, mainly in Georgetown. There is also a sizable minority of Muslims, most of whom are of South Asian descent. Indigenous religions are still practiced by some of the Indian peoples.

As Idalou heads down to Austin though, Wildcat fans will be quite familiar going back to Austin, where they have been several times recently, but this is the first time they will be there in baseball. They have now taken down the 1st and 2nd ranked teams in the state in consecutive weekends, and will take on ninth ranked Troy in Round Rock on Wednesday afternoon. After the road they have taken to get there this team knows they have earned their ticket.

Harbour / Docks, Oostende
23 Reviews
23 Reviews
I love the harbour area, I love the smell of the sea...
Catch your very own shrimp at sea. You can, on the Crangon, a fully traditionally equipped shrimp trawler.
The technique used to catch the shrimp is board fishing. This technique involves the use of 'side trawlers': nets that have otter boards on the side.
These boards or metal plates keep the net spread open as it moves through the water. It is a trap from which the shrimp cannot escape.
The Crangon departs from a spot near the famous Oostende lighthouse and takes you on a magical trip along the Flemish coastline. On board you get 'hands-on' experience of the traditional way in which Flemish fishermen catch, sort wash and... cook sea shrimp at sea.
It is hard work, but... well worth it. Not only is this a unique opportunity to become one with nature, but helpers are allowed to take home part of the catch free of charge.
A trip on the Crangon takes about three hours.
When you arrive in Oostende by train or tram, you'll immediately find yourself right into the heart of the city: its harbour.
The harbour of Oostende is not the largest one of Belgium, but to me it is the most beautiful one. Whenever I'm there, I always feel like I'm on holiday!
In the harbour you can admire two 'famous' ships: the Mercator (see next tip) and the Amandine, which was used for fishery in Iceland. Nowadays the Amandine is a museum, you can find it opposite the railway station.
Ostend harbour is not Belgium's largest harbour but it is multi-faceted. There is a new sealock that can allow ships with a tonnage of 10.000 tons to enter the harbor. From the lock, access can be given to the Ostend-Plassendale canal which allows the connection with the inner regions.
Right in front of the train station is the marina which greets visitors with the sight of a cluster of boats, their masts reaching up toward the sky just above the red-tile roofs of the buildings behind the water. Behind the roofs, the two towers of the town's main church complement the scene. Unfortunately, this might actually be the most attractive sight in all of Oostende as the rest of the town is not quite so picturesque.
The other main sight around here is the Amandine, a typical fishing boat of Oostende that is now a mini-museum, although I doubt it would be that intriguing for anyone besides perhaps the kids.
Warm Wullocks anyone? No trip to Ostend is complete without a visit to the Visserskaai (Fishermen's Quay) the town's famed seafood quayside. Everyday summer and winter from early morning to evening, colourful stalls are set up and vendors sell prepared plates of cooked fish, seafood cocktails and bowls of streaming hot whelks.
Almost as soon as you leave the Oostende train station you come to the inner harbor. There are a variety of ships to view and you can hail the crews to welcome them back to port. Cross the blue draw bridge behind the boat to get to the town center. Also across the bridge, turn right and follow the white posts lining a promenade to the fish market and eventually the beach.
A former Belgian training ship of the Belgian Merchant Navy , which transported the remains of Father Damiaan. A Schooner which kept her authentic interior and which has been restored as a nautical museum.
Without doubt - Ostend is a top attraction and destination for many foreign tourists - like the Englishmen and German people who love to visit the Belgian coast.The coast scenary itself seems to be so different - cultural hightlights are never far away.
James Ensor's name/fame are linked to this city. A flemish painter (1860-1949) precursor of surrealism in the special world of painters.
One of the highlights during this "festival"
"The Grand Turk "
Three master wooden sailing ship, 46 meters long, builded in 1997 and a copy of Lord Nelson's Armada.
Michael Turk reconstructed it - the "Fregat" will be seen on many festivals all over the harbours in the world, will even be scenary in many films
At the occasion of "Oostende voor Anker" many fans of sailing and "flipping" meet each other.A highlight is definately visiting "The Mercator" - Flag ship of the Belgian Marines
This three-master builded in 1931 - cost about 75.000 euro that time and weight about 800 tons.
it was used by the belgian Navy until 1960 - as from that date it serves as a kind of museum - floating al over the world !!
The Mercator was a training ship, launched by the Belgian Royal Marine in 1932. It was used for the training of officers of the Merchant Navy until 1960. The Mercator was transformed into a museum in 1961, and is now moored at Ostend.
On request of those tourists who like the sea but hate the sand, the city has build this copy of a wave breaker on a little square a bit further away from the fishermen's harbour.
p.s. don't believe everything I say!
You can wet your pants without getting embarrased '-)
Well to my humble opinion... some of these are bound to get wet! hahaha
OOSTENDE ANCHORED....... which event took place in 2002 but it is always great to visit places near the seaside where there are ships in harbours and ports and often festivities....
A FEAST for your eyes and a great opportunity to take special photos!!
Also to taste fresh fish in the many atmospheric restaurants!
LOVELY PLACE FOR A shopping spree.....
I told you: Oostende is great, I often go there, yes, I know, easy for me, so close to my home town Middelburg in The Netherlands.
You cannot miss it arriving at Ostend. The Mercator Yacht Harbour not only houses the three masted sailing ship 'Mercator', it also contains many yachts. It is nice to take a walk among the pride of many seaman. More than 300 berths are available.
Being a place on the coast, it's no wonder that Oostende is packed with boats or yachts. Makes you want to just hop on and sail away!

Ariel's Facial: Luka, Ariel & Soicyc
When it comes to long hair on a guy, not all can wear it well. Luka, our long haired young man with muscular toned body does it well. He's the center of attention as well in this hot threesome. Ariel is the darker haired twink and Soicyc the taller thin twink with lighter brown hair. Both of them are anxious to get Luka out of his clothes and start giving him another sort of workout. Personally, I'd love to sink my teeth into that sweet tender rump roast on Luka as well :) Ariel gets the middle man position and starts sucking on Luka while Soicyc sucks Ariel and strokes his own cock. I just love the shot of Luka's balls just hanging over the edge of his briefs with Ariel sucking his cock. Balls and Ass, yep, that's me! Now I'm jealous... Soicyc starts rimming Luka while Ariel still sucks his cock. DAMN... I'm fucking hard now! That's it Soicyc, do it right, lick those tender cheeks and gently nibble on them and run that tongue between his cheeks... do me proud boy!! Now Soicyc is our m

CELINA � Police Chief David Slusser is accused of mishandling a prescription drug from a criminal case, lying about it and a host of other allegations that could lead to his termination.
Those allegations will be considered Thursday at a predisciplinary hearing scheduled to begin at 9 a.m.
Slusser was placed on paid suspension in February and ordered to turn in his gun, badge, identification and keys to the building. He has been employed with the department since 1978.
He also is accused of mishandling evidence, not returning a gun for 13 years the department was given for a two-week evaluation, falsifying timesheets to obtain more money for his department, and failing to erase the hard drives of two laptops given to City Council that later were found to have pictures of a naked juvenile from a child abuse investigation, according to city records.
Slusser is accused of violating various departmental policies including neglect in the performance of his duties, insubordination, making false statements, dishonest, and conduct unbecoming of a city employee, according to records.
Celina Safety Service Director Tom Hitchcock is conducting the hearing. Slusser can represent himself or show up with representation. He may present evidence and call witnesses.
The mishandling of a prescription drug stemmed from a November domestic violence case. The case involved the drug Xanax, which is used to treat panic and anxiety disorders. Slusser took possession of the drug and it later came up missing, according to city records.
Slusser later wrote the medicine was abandoned property and destroyed without making an attempt to return the drug to its owner. Slusser changed his story several times about the circumstances including saying he took it out of the trash can and tried to get it to the man who was in jail, according to records.
�During this investigation you have consistently offered an evolving version of events that are dishonest,� Hitchcock wrote.
During the investigation Slusser accused Hitchcock of conducting a �covert� investigation and called it improper, according to records.
Slusser also is accused of falsifying time sheets to reflect duties that would qualify for payroll that were authorized by City Council when officers performed specific activities.
�You admitted to falsifying the timesheets and that you did not verify that the officers actually performed the specific duties required by the ordinance. You stated that your intent was to �zero out� those funds identified by the ordinance,� according to records.
The report said Slusser�s actions discredits the city and Police Department in the public�s eyes.
�The standard operating procedures that you are responsible for writing, administering and enforcing, state that an employee that engages in the type of behavior as you have should be terminated from employment,� according to records.
In the matter on the mishandling of evidence, an envelop containing a blood stain, blades and edged weapons was found in Slusser�s desk drawer last month. He placed the envelop into evidence on Aug. 17, 2004, according to records.
�You failed to follow police department policies and procedure regarding the processing and securing of evidence,� the record said.

Famed UCSD economist White dies of cancer
Halbert White, a mellow, trumpet-playing UC San Diego economist whose research was considered to be so influential he was short-listed for the 2011 Nobel Prize in economics, died Saturday at a hospice in La Mesa after a four-year battle with cancer, campus officials said. He was 61.
Last September, Thomson Reuters caused a stir in La Jolla when it said that White and his collaborator, Jerry Hausman of MIT, were prime contenders for the 2011 Nobel Prize in economics for their work in the field of econometrics. The field uses an assortment of mathematical tools and statistics to test a hypothesis based on real-world data.
White became especially well-known for the "White standard," a test or way of thinking that greatly reduced the chance that an economist would make a mistake in designing a study or writing a paper.
Textbook writers found it hard to explain the White standard in lay terms. White found it easy, telling UT-San Diego last fall:
"Economists apply mathematical models to real-world data to make predictions and to try to understand economic cause and effect. For example, a prediction answers the question, 'What will the unemployment rate be next month if things continue the way they have been?' Understanding cause-and-effect makes it possible to answer a question like, 'What would happen to the unemployment rate if the Fed raises interest rates?' "
White was both amused and thrilled when he learned that Thomson Reuters had short-listed him for the Nobel. He said, "Although it's an honor and very gratifying to be considered as a Nobel contender, I'm not making any reservations for Stockholm just yet. I have to admit it's an exciting thing to contemplate."
In a statement, UC San Diego Chancellor Mary Anne Fox said, "Hal's 30-plus years of service to this campus helped propel our economics department to the top-ranked powerhouse it is today. Even as the entire UC San Diego community mourns the passing of a remarkable researcher and teacher, we know his legacy of contributions to his field, and the world more broadly, will live on."
White, who was born in Kansas City, Mo., spent most of his life at some of the most prestigious universities in the country, including Princeton, where he earned a bachelor's degree in economics. He earned his doctorate at MIT, and ended up grading the papers of two people who would go on to become famous: Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman, who writes for The New York Times. He later joined that faculty at UC San Diego, where he worked with Robert Engle and Clive Granger, who shared the 2003 Nobel in economics.
Valerie Ramey, chair of economics at UCSD, said in a statement Tuesday, "Hal was a terrific colleague and will be deeply missed. He was an insightful and energetic scholar, whose intellectual leadership helped our department rise to international prominence. Over a long and distinguished career, Hal made significant and fundamental contributions in numerous areas of economic theory and practice that today influenced a broad range of disciplines. He was also a cheerful and generous mentor. We often marveled that such a wonderful personality could also be generating such brilliant scientific ideas."

RICHLAND - Wa-Hi topped Wenatchee and Richland in Saturday's regional action to secure the No. 1 seed to the state softball championships next week in Spokane.
The Blue Devils topped Wenatchee, 11-1, in five innings, and Richland, 7-4, to grab the seeding.
"It was a great day," said Wa-Hi coach Jerry Humphreys.
Wenatchee charged to an early 1-0 lead, thanks to three Blue Devils errors in the first inning.
"That's uncharacteristic for us," Humphreys said.
But after the third out, Wa-Hi opened its at-bats with a Libbie Jimenez home run, Andrea Hamada double and Alyson Ambler single.
"We scored four runs in the first to get things turned around, and the game went our way from there," Humphreys said.
Richland came out ready to face the Blue Devils in game two. Richland handed Wa-Hi its only loss of the season in league play.
"They were really swigning well," Humphreys said of the Bombers. "They had a couple of runs in the first and second and it took us a while to get going."
The Blue Devils fell behind, 4-0, before Jimenez hit her third home run on the day in the third inning.
Hope Klicker led off the fourth with a triple, then scored on a sacrifice fly off Kendsey Hill to close the gap to 4-2.
And freshman and JV player Eleanor Rassbach came up next to pinch hit.
Rassbach, in her first varsity at-bat, hit a long home run.
"That turned the tide for us," Humphreys said of Rassbach's hit. "That set the tone. All of the girls got into the game and were excited. It was a whole different feeling after that."
Now down 4-3, it was scoreless until the top of the seventh, when the Blue Devils opened at the top of their order.
Jimenez singled, then got to second of a Hamada sacrifice. Ambler singled, putting runners at first and third, then Richland intentionally walked Klicker to load the bases.
Hill singled to score Jimenez, and Ambler came in off a Richland overthrow. Rassbach came back to bat, singling Klicker in from second, and another Richland overthrow brought Hill home.
"We started that down 4-3, and ended it up 7-4," Humphreys said.
Richland had three up, three down in the bottom of the seventh in the loss.
"The kids did a great job," Humphreys said. "Even though they were behind, they kept fighting and scratching and came out on top. It's a great show of charector for them."
Earlier wins by Wenatchee and Richland mean the Big 9 will represent the East Side at state tournament next week in Spokane. Brackets will be released today.
Wa-Hi 11, Wenatchee 1

We've been doing themed, family costumes since DD's first Halloween. This year, since she was going as a t-rex, we decided to do an all out Jurassic Park group costume. DH is Dr. Grant. He even has a light up "flare" - just like in the famous scene when he uses it to lure the t-rex away from the kids. I'm one of the park SUVs, complete with working headlights and the trembling glass of water. My costume even plays the theme song from the movie. :)
<--Me, IronMammaries <--Med-student DP<--DD (12/08) & <--DS 4/13
.....BFP.........HB Heard.........BOY!.........................................
My six-year-old wanted to be R2D2, despite some kids at school teasing her because Star Wars is a "boy" thing. We've taught her all along it doesn't matter if you're a boy or a girl, you can be whomever you want to be, and be interested in anything you like.
Since there were no R2D2 costumes to be found, I made her one, out of posterboard and recyclables. :)
Our family of four went as a pack of Totoros (from "My Neighbor Totoro" a.k.a. となりのトトロ).
All homesewn, using repurposed sweatshirts/pants
Baby William as Chibi Totoro (ちびトトロ), myself as Big Totoro (大トトロ) and Ella Rose as Medium Totoro (中トトロ)
Hubby, Dash, as Big Totoro (大トトロ)
Ella Rose as Medium Totoro (中トトロ)
These are great!

The contest runs thru November 12th so there's plenty of time to enter costume pics from your trick-or-treating this year! We'd love to see them!
My 2 year old was Cousin Itt. Everybody said she was perfect because of her squeaky voice and squeaky shoes. The fact that her favorite thing to do is suck her thumb and play with her hair this costume was right up her alley.

AMES, Iowa, April 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- NewLink Genetics Corporation (NASDAQ: NLNK) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing cancer therapeutics. The company today announced that preclinical data on one of its IDO pathway inhibitors, NLG919, will be presented at the 2013 Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) to be held April 6-10 in Washington, DC. The poster presentation will describe the benefits of targeting the IDO pathway with small molecule immunomodulatory drugs for the treatment of cancer. NLG919 is in development as a potent IDO pathway inhibitor with desirable pharmacological properties.
Poster presentation:
- (Poster #491): Sunday, April 7, 2013, 1:00 -5:00 PM, " NLG919, a novel indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO)-pathway inhibitor drug candidate for cancer therapy," M. Mautino , Immunology 2: Vaccines, Immune Modulatory Agents, and Environment, Hall A-C, Poster Section 22, in The Washington Convention Center.
About inhibition of the IDO pathway
IDO pathway inhibitors are another class of immune check point inhibitors akin to the recently developed antibodies targeting CTLA-4 and PD-1 which represent a potential breakthrough approach to cancer therapy. The IDO pathway regulates immune response by suppressing T-cell function and enabling local tumor immune escape. Recent studies have demonstrated that the IDO pathway is active in many cancers, both within tumor cells as a direct defense against T-cell attack, and also within antigen presenting cells in tumor draining lymph nodes whereby this pathway promotes peripheral tolerance to tumor associated antigens (TAAs). When hijacked by developing cancers in this manner, the IDO pathway may facilitate the survival, growth, invasion and metastasis of malignant cells expressing TAAs that might otherwise be recognized and attacked by the immune system. NewLink has a number of active programs directed at synthesizing IDO pathway inhibitors. These small-molecule, anti-tolerogenic product candidates are intended to counteract this key mechanism by which tumors evade immune-mediated destruction.

On April 2, 2014, the New York State Office of the Medicaid Inspector General (OMIG or the Agency) released its Medicaid Work Plan (the Work Plan) for federal fiscal year 2014. OMIG's core function is to prevent, detect, and investigate Medicaid fraud and abuse. In calendar year 2013, preliminary OMIG recoveries topped $851 million—a new record for OMIG, and the highest ever recovered in a single year by any state, according to the Agency.
The Work Plan serves as a road map for OMIG's investigative and enforcement activity for the upcoming year. As in the past two years, it is organized according to the Agency's internal Business Line Teams (BLTs). The area on which OMIG appears to intend to place the most focus is managed care. However, OMIG will expand its activities in other areas as well, including certified home health agencies, personal care services, and supported employment services, among others. OMIG also will work with local governments to increase recoveries in the County Demonstration program. OMIG's plans for each BLT are summarized below.
Over the course of the last year, OMIG—along with the state's Medicaid program—has been the subject of some sustained criticism, both in the general media (see, e.g., N. Bernstein, "Two Firms Accused of Using Political Ties to Bilk Medicaid," New York Times, August 9, 2013, and J. Odato, "Medicaid police lacking detectives," Albany Times-Union, March 25, 2013) and from Congressman Darrell Issa, Chair of the House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform ("Billions of Federal Tax Dollars Misspent on New York's Medicaid Program," Report, Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, March 5, 2013). In this context, the Agency has been placed under unprecedented pressure to demonstrate its capacity to oversee the largest Medicaid program in the country—pressure that inevitably may result in a more aggressive stance in auditing and recovering Medicaid funds from healthcare providers.
I. Home and Community Care Services
The Home and Community Care Services BLT will engage in the following initiatives:
II. Hospital and Outpatient Services
The Hospital and Outpatient Services BLT will engage in the following initiatives:
III. Managed Care

In addition, the BLT will review the following to determine whether services were provided in accordance with Medicaid requirements:
VI. Pharmacy and Durable Medical Equipment
The Pharmacy and Durable Medical Equipment BLT will engage in the following initiatives:
VII. Physicians, Dentists and Laboratories

VIII. Residential Healthcare Facilities

X. Activities Relating to Multiple Business Lines
In addition, the Work Plan describes several activities that relate to multiple business lines:
New York Medicaid providers should closely review the Work Plan for insight into OMIG's perceived areas of risk and enforcement goals.

instead of actually doing something. Because, you know, praying to the man in the sky is going to solve all the problems surrounding things like gun violence or poverty.
I can understand people wanting to pray for comfort, but I hate that so many people think praying somehow absoves them of any sort of responsibility to actually, you know, *do* something.
My FB is full of stupid "pray for xxx" shit, and I think I might just stop politely ignoring them and start actively mocking people.

Does anyone know what resets RA is doing? Saw a manager I know from one store in another store. He's been bouncing around for 'resets' that some other managers are helping with...
OAN, my fave store let me get 9 skintimate at once (3 transactions). When I asked if I could order, they ordered me 15 visine and 8 Bic razors for 4/7. Then asked if I could come in every mon morning to tell them what items to order extra of! Said they see the ads but don't know what the couponers will want. Bonus for me! They'll order extra for me, and my store will have plenty of stock for all the couponers! :-)
On another note, does anyone have experience returning an item that they paid for using Ups? I used $30 worth the other day and then changed my mind on the items. I went back to the store and actually had three employees telling me that I would lose the value of my Ups on my return. I then asked if I could just return without a receipt for merchandise credit and one of the guys actually told me no because it was "in his memory" or something like that, that I had used Ups and had an out of pocket of $4. Add to that, while I was debating with the three different employees on this, I had another customer in line behind me put in her two cents about it as well. O-M-G. I knew after the memory comment that I was wasting my time. I called corporate on my way home and was told that they should be able to do the return and give me credit for my Ups and to have them call corporate if they don't know how. Just wondering if anyone else has any experience with this? I was pretty ticked off yesterday with them...
Has anyone else besides me had issues when paying with a debit card at Rite Aid? Today I swiped my debit card and the total I paid ended up being $.13 more than my bill so the computer told the cashier to give me the change. Yesterday when I paid with my card, my card was charged $.68 less than the total on my bill and I ended up paying the difference in cash.
Neither time the cashier or I could figure out why.
I am not a cat lover. My sister is deathly allergic to cats. When we were growing up we wore each other's clothes and if I ever even touched a cat, she would be ill for days. I learned to stay away from them and, just from habit, mostly still do.
As I said, I am not really a cat lover. (Now CATS are another thing altogether!)
TIA => Thanks in Advance + I post my Thanks via Reps.
Allergies sufferers: which OTC allergy medication works the best? Spring allergies are killing me! I've only tried Allegra so far but it looks like Rite Aid has some pretty good deals on Zyrtec & Claritin this week. Which one do you prefer? Which one is a better deal? Claritin this week with $3 in-ad Q, $5 MQ, and $5 +UP, or Zyrtec next week with $7 MQ and $5 RAQ?
Last time I visited cvs and asked phymacist about which allergy meds is better, she said its really depends on personal preference and you have to try which one works for you. She did mention Claritin seems more popular at the end. Hope it helps.

Every Tuesday this season a top-performing pitcher and hitter from selected minor-league affiliates will be spotlighted with a look at their futures in the Angels organization. If the prospects stand a better-than-average chance at making the major leagues, we'll list their expected eventual time of arrival – or ETA.
C Chris Snyder
Stats: 14 for 32 (.438), 4 HR, 13 RBI
Comment: The Angels signed Snyder after he was released by the Washington Nationals last month, thinking the veteran could provide competition to Hank Conger for the backup catcher slot on the big club. Snyder, 32, lost out on that job, but he accepted an assignment to Triple-A and has been tearing it up.
ETA: If/when Chris Iannetta or Hank Conger gets hurt
RHP A.J. Schugel
Stats: 0-0, 2.00 ERA, 9 IP, 12 strikeouts
Comment: Schugel had never pitched before 2010, when the Angels drafted him out of junior college and turned him from an infielder into a starting pitcher. Now, quicker than expected at age 23, he could be in the mix for major-league spot starts sooner rather than later. Smallish at a listed 5-foot-11, Schugel throws hard and has a career minor-league ERA of 3.00.
ETA: Late 2013
OF Matt Long
Stats: 15 for 37 (.405), 1 HR, 12 RBI
Comment: Long is in an interesting situation. He hit quite respectably at Triple-A last season while playing the infield for the first time as a professional, but didn't get a spring-training invite and is back in Double-A – where he already has produced six multi-hit games. His defensive versatility means he could fit into a major-league utility role pretty well.

It's unfair, if they weren't cheating, they shouldn't be banned.
Golden Maven posted...
Those behind this are probably the same kind of people who want sodas and whatever else they deem bad banned. Regulating player behaviour seems to be the norm now. In fact, it's a reflection of our current culture.
I totally disagree. With soda, I think that people should be free to wreck their bodies without gov't involvement because people are mainly hurting themselves. Possibly their kids if they die of a heart attack, but mostly themselves.
But when players spit vitriol at each other, that's a case of one person hurting someone else. This is why we need laws. To me, the distinction between the freedom to hurt yourself and the freedom to hurt your neighbor is the difference between liberty and mere anarchy.
Paid DLC at release = end of games.
The whole tribunal system is one giant open wound with puss tentacles and just isnt good. It penalized self defense and prevents would-have-been hilarious games.
GT: SuP3R SCoP3
I'm for the banhammers. If we want people to start taking video games serious as a form of media or competition, we need to conform to some of their standards. You know, the ones where being a dummy spouting venomous words at other people is frowned upon and punished. (Unless you're Cho Gath, then spit all the venom you want).
Respect should be a universal concept. The fact that rules need to be enforced to make it so is the sad part.
If you have a problem with potheads, throw your computer out the window right now. Why should you be able leech off the creativity of those you condemn?
I fully approve of this banning. I know some people don't quite get it, but most of us do not want to be subjugated to an onslaught of slurs, abuses, and being called a moron for the slightest error. This is a game that we want to play to have fun, not to have some idiot yell at us about how we are mentally disabled and filled with bodily excrement just because we missed a skillshot. I treat the other players like they were in the same room as me and I could see them when I chat. I don't use my anonymity as a defense or excuse for poor sportsmanship.
What I find really terrifying is the fact that, it seems, the only difference between the raging toxic players and normal people is, effectively, a mask. If someone could invent a mask that hid their true identity so many people would go on a rampage of verbal insults and toxicity IRL.
Math with Vi!
My 2 fists - 1 of your face = 1 dead foe.
Considering how utterly cancerous this game's community is, I feel they should ban people more often for things like this.
Riot should just ban everyone.
If you believe in Jesus Christ, have accepted Him as your Lord and Savior, and are 100% proud of it, put this in your sig.

The new edition of the DSM, the so-called "Bible" of psychiatry, is out. But many psychiatrists and psychologists say the manual's approach is outdated, boxing mental illness into discrete categories like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, when very little is known about the underlying causes of disease.

METAIRIE, La. ― Now the real fun begins.
The Saints will try to address roster needs they were unable to with their six picks of the 2010 NFL Draft when they picked up four offensive players and two on defense.
With the draft being cut to seven rounds, finding undrafted free agents has turned into a absolute must and New Orleans, under the guidance of Head Coach Sean Payton and General Manager Mickey Loomis have done just that.
Running backs Pierre Thomas and Lynell Hamilton as well as linebackers Jonathan Casillas and Jo-Lonn Dunbar were all picked up by the Saints in the immediate aftermath of past NFL Drafts. Additionaly, Jabari Greer was an undrafted free agent who caught on with Buffalo and wide receiver Lance Moore did the same with Cleveland.
'Casillas, Hamilton, Thomas you could keep going with guys who earned a spot,' Payton said. 'Once they're here it's really of no importance how they got here. I think all the teams take this time seriously.'
Hours after the draft finished, UNLVlinebacker Jason Beauchamp was the first undrafted rookie free agent who reportedly signed with the Saints.
Meanwhile, the Saints finished the draft addressing several needs, including defensive tackle, cornerback and tight end.
New Orleans took Florida State cornerback Patrick Robinson with the No. 32 pick of the first round, giving the Saints an extra defensive back that can make a difference. With the uncertainty behind Darren Sharper's re-signing with the Saints, Robinson gives New Orleans the possibility of moving 2009 first-round pick Malcolm Jenkins to safety.
In Friday night's second and third rounds, the Saints picked USC offensive tackle Charles Brown. The move could spell the end for Jammal Brown, New Orleans' Pro Bowl left tackle who hasn't signed his restricted free agent tender.
The Saints could have as many as five tackles on their roster heading into minicamp or training camp Jon Stinchcomb, Zach Strief, Jermon Bushrod and the two Browns.
However, Loomis said taking Charles Brown doesn't hasten the exit of Jammal Brown.
'We certainly didn't draft Charles with the idea that we're moving on from Jammal,' Loomis said. 'It wasn't the case at all, in fact, we like the tackles that we have. Jammal's obviously been to the Pro Bowl and although he was injured last year, we know he's a very good player.'
A round later, the Saints picked up Miami tight end Jimmy Graham, a player who will be a project for New Orleans to develop. He played only one year of collegiate football after four years of basketball.
'People use the term upside,' Payton said. 'I like all the measurables we saw with him. I think he understands and will continue to get better. That's one of the things you saw this year with him playing.'
On Saturday, the final day of the draft, the Saints finally filled their need in the center of the defensive front seven, trading their 130th and 201st picks to Arizona to move up and take LSU defensive tackle Al Woods.
Woods worked out with the Saints during pre-draft workouts and the New Orleans staff had extensive notes on him after covering LSU's Pro Day on-campus workouts fully.
But the Saints weren't done, moving back into the sixth round of the draft to take Boston College center Matt Tennant. New Orleans traded their 2011 fourth round pick to Jacksonville to get the center.
Finally, with the last regular pick of the draft at No. 239, the Saints took Oregon State quarterback Sean Canfield.
'He's a lefty. We think he's accurate,' Payton said. 'We think he's a good decision maker. He really played a year-and-a-half there. Mickey (Loomis) is pretty close with the coach there, who has worked here before. Overall, there was a lot that went into that; a lot of research just trying to identify a (third)-day quarterback that might be available, and he was one of the guys.'

Iraq: Killing for honour
Source:Women's International League for Peace and Freedom
Faeq Ameen Bakr, director general of Baghdad's Institute of Forensic Medicine in Baghdad, often writes "killed to wash away her disgrace" in the many autopsy reports and investigations that cross his desk.
The number of so-called honour killings - where a woman is killed by family members because they believe she has in some way shamed them - is said to have increased in Iraq since the fall of Saddam Hussein.

In terms of actual skill, who is more talented between Federer and young Nalbandian?

I wouldn't say that Federer is as tough as Nadal, but I disagree that there is some massive gap.
On talent "developing": pretty sure the word "talent" is supposed to be the "gold" that a person has in their "soil". Not exactly something that you can "develop" only resurface.
You think Nadal's everything is overrated so who cares. It is hilarious you think a player who basically relied entirely on speed, mental toughness, overall defense, a forehand, and basically nothing else and won 11 slams by his mid 20s could be matches or surpassed easily by many in mental toughness and speed as you seem to think.
Nadal gets crushed since his game is more crushable, especialy on a hard court which is the only surface he has ever been crushed on really. It has nothing to do with lack of mental toughness. In fact almost the only way to beat Nadal is by crushing him, hence why he almost never loses on clay, and only loses on hard courts when he runs into guys who power right him and win by big margins normally.

Pink Visual Productions kicks it up a degree with this tawdry release. All of the young ladies are adorable, as they coyly act like they've never taken meat missiles deep in their rectums before, but most savvy folks will know better. It's also doubtful that the girls are new to double penetration.
Regardless, all the d.p. duty goes swimmingly, and the women go from adorable to flaming hot when they get their buttons pushed.
Genesis Skye isn't a d.p. virgin, and she shines while choking on cock, in addition to her double-dick dance. Brunette Ali also quivers brilliantly as she gets hammered.

Katy Perry Has Cured Russell Brand's Promiscuous Tendencies
Katy Perry seems to have done the impossible -- she's gotten British actor and sex-obsessed comedian Russell Brand to give up his womanizing ways. The newly-united love between the two was enough to cause Brand to change his perspective on life, as he revealed in an interview with Britain's Sunday Times this weekend that he's now "living in a different way at the moment."

Brand, who made cat-calls to Perry as he hosted the MTV Video Music Awards, now says "regardless of what happens in my current situation, I am unlikely to be satisfied with the calamitous promiscuity of the preceding five or six years."
Brand says he also doesn't delve too much into his love life with the media because things get misconstrued, and he doesn't want to expose the 'Waking Up in Vegas' songstress to any unnecessary headaches.
He also opened up about his past addictions and struggles with drugs, which in turn contributed to his life-in-the-fast-lane reputation. "My personality was defined by solitude. A lot less now, but especially when I was a drug addict. I was always on my own, sat right up to the telly. I'm only now making friends with people. I'm only really happy when I'm performing. I'm like Judy Garland."
Brand is slowly becoming a household name in the U.S., having hosted the VMAs twice and also scoring a wildly funny (and almost autobiographical) role as a hypersexual rocker in 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall.'

She is making a big mistake. I am sure they are both acting nice now, but give them a few months and it will be over.

Duplicate BO abilities
You shouldn't be able to stack multiple copies of BO abilities, even on separate officers. There's a few good reasons for this:
1) Many abilities that are totally fine and balanced when you have 1 copy become insane with multiple copies. Feedback pulse and reverse shield polarity come to mind. RSP has a huge cooldown, which makes it feel pretty balanced when you have one copy. You can get out of tight spots, but it's not always gonna be there for you. Multiple copies make you invincible to beam weapons. And if you're fighting a PUG, it's god mode.
2) It makes no sense from the standpoint of the ship doing something. All the officers are controlling the same ship. If the ship can only overload a torpedo once every 60s, I cannot fathom how telling the officer next to you to push the same button on the console would expedite that process.
3) Some abilities are just flat-out worse than other abilities. Aux to structural integrity field is worse than engineering team in pretty much every way. Right now, this is dumb. I can stack engineering team, so getting aux to structural is useless. If I can't stack abilities, those abilities that are flat-out worse just become a diminishing return system for stacking similar abilities.
4) There's no need for it. It homogenizes gameplay, and there's never a situation where you NEED to stack an ability.

I first placed a rope under the fins of the agitator and used a 2X4 board to pull up the agitator which needed very little force to release itself from the agitator coupling. I removed the nut holding the agitator coupling, removed the stripped agitator coupling. Installation was just the reverse process, inserted the new agitator coupling, placed and tightened the screw, and pressed down the agitator over the agitator coupling and I was done. Over time for the repair was between 5 and 10 minutes, very easy, and I have no experience repairing washing machines.
