Those of us who love to spend time in the garden also love to find great deals on garden statuary. Of course, a "great deal" doesn't mean average or cheap statues that cost less because they look bad or are going to fall apart after a few months. No, "great deals on garden statues" translates to high quality, unique garden sculptures that cost much less than expected. Those would also be statues from our collection, including several excellent gargoyle figurines.
Talysus the Terrible Gargoyle Statue is one such sculpture. This laughing gargoyle is on sale and blends a menacing Gothic grin and more modern muscled appearance for fantastic, entertaining results. A sphere-topped plinth for a perch completes the fantasy-flavored look of this unique statue.
Another fine deal on gargoyle statues can be found with the Picc-a-Dilly Gargoyle Sculptures Set. These fun little gargoyles might not look as frightening as classic-themed gargoyles similar to the stone beasts that sit on the ramparts of old castles but they make up for it with a hilarious, adorable appearance. These cute little creatures will look right at home in a flowerbed, make excellent, unique gifts, and will put a smile on the face of any garden guest. Not to mention, they are also available for a great, low price.

text: Up for sale I have a factory black interior, factory sunroof 1993 Mustang LX Hatchback. Original 5.0 car. Its also an original AOD car. No 5spd swap or manual to auto swap. Let me first start by saying that I DO NOT NEED to sell this car, although I could certainly use the money (I believe we all could in this economy). Therefore I will not take offers that I believe are too low given the amount of money I've invested. I have over 25,000 in receipts for this car including parts and labor. I've kept almost every single receipt, as well as the cam card and the two Dyno sheets from the cars two stages of tune. The majority of the car was built and assembled at Radical Racing in Atco, NJ under the guidance and expertise of Craig Radovich. The short block was machined and assembled by Lorenzo at Lorenzo's Fast Flow Cylinder Heads/Machine Shop near Phili, PA. The car was Dyno'd on a Dynojet and tuned by Craig with a Diablosport chip. With 14lbs of boost and a street tune it made 496rwhp and 448ft/lbs of torque. Below I will list the current modifications to the car and its current condition, to the best of my ability.

Autometer 3-Gauge A-Pillar Pod w/Sport Comp Gauges Boost, Oil Pressure and Water Temperature Gauge Bezel Mounted Shift Light While I'm on the interior I'd like to point out something that I should mention. The car had an older Viper Alarm system installed in it when i got it. It gave me a few problems over the years and I recently removed it entirely from the car, along with alot of other messy wiring that I found that was cluttering up the car. There was originally some sort of sensor and an arming indicator light mounted just to the right of the steering column underneath the instrument panel, those two pieces are now removed. There are currently holes there now where they used to be. I've thought about getting two large plastic push pins to remedy the problem, just haven't gotten around to it. Not a deal breaker in my opinion, but worth noting. Some notes on the paint. I absolutely love the color scheme, its one of the reasons I was so drawn to the car to begin with. Its one of those love it or hate it things. It was originally the previous owner's wife's car. He had some friend of his paint it, the colors are nice but the prep job he did on the car wasn't exactly perfect. There are chips in alot of places, especially on the front, and the clearcoat on the fiberglass hood has completely peeled off.It had been peeling slowly over the years and finally most of it has came off. I've pondered the idea of getting it re-prepped/painted and re-cleared, but while thats happening I figured i'd repaint the whole car. Obviously funds haven't quite allowed that to happen. Also the pics I've posted are with the previous Mickey Thompson I had on the car which were 275/50R15's. The car currently rides on 275/60R15's and the rear tires are two inches taller. The fender lips were rolled originally with the shorter drag radials on the car and I had absolutely no problems with rubbing. Since the taller tires have been on the car I've had a slight problem with the L/R tire rubbing here and there on certain bumps. A UPR rear coilover kit for $260 could easily solve the problem, again funds haven't allowed me to remedy this situation as of late. Its only been down the track 4 times in the entire 5 years I've owned it. And the track time was very recent, in early october. It was an extremely cold and windy night, and the best pass I could muster was 11.27@124mph. Keep in mind this is was the first time I've ever been down the 1/4 mile in anything. That was with spinning through all of 1st gear, some of 2nd, and a resulting crappy 1.97 60ft time. This car is without a doubt a high 10 second car in proper conditions. Theres still more power to made from the motor, If I was to keep the car I'd be upgrading to the Si trim blower and running a Snow Meth kit. Could easily see about another 50rwhp. I've tried my best to describe the car as honestly and accurately as possible. I will be attempting to take updated photo's of the car with the taller rear tires and flat, un-cleared hood. Photo's will hopefully be taken this weekend. My asking price for this car is $11,500 or best offer. The car is located in High Bridge, NJ zip code 08829. The car is currently registered, inspected and insured in NJ. The title is clean and clear and the car is 100% paid for. The inspection sticker is good until June of 2012. My name is Asah, my e-mail address is [email protected]. I can be reached on my cell phone at 908-303-7859. I work two jobs and have a very busy schedule, If i don't answer leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you very much for looking, I look forward to hearing from you all.

AT&T today unveiled a new GoPhone smartphone plan set to take effect on October 7 which saves $10 per month over the previous option.

To help kick off the new rate plan, AT&T is introducing a new Android smartphone called the Fusion 2, which runs just $99. Details on the handset are very light right now but we expect to learn more in the coming days.

Journal: LiveJournal
Well, it's been forever since I wrote in the old Slashdot journal. Mostly I'm using LiveJournal these days. If for some reason you'd like to read what I'm writing (mostly about my attempts at Scrabble prowess), try going there.
Well, it's been forever since I wrote in the old Slashdot journal. Mostly I'm using LiveJournal these days. If for some reason you'd like to read what I'm writing (mostly about my attempts at Scrabble prowess), try going there.
Someone stole a Bush-Cheney yard sign out of my front lawn last night. It was kind of windy overnight, so I thought there was a possibility it had blown away... until I approached the spot where it formerly stood, and saw trampled grass where the thief had placed his feet. I suppose it was bound to happen. Ever since I put the sign up, I've been expecting it to be stolen or vandalized. Some Bush-hater has now proven my expectations to be founded. Or maybe I created my own reality via self-fulfilling prophecy. Either way, it pisses me off.
It's not that the sign was expensive, or that stealing a political yard sign ranks highly relative to others on a list of crimes against society. It's that it was my sign, in my yard. It was me expressing my opinion. Stealing my sign amounts to censorship against my point of view, on my own property, and I do not like it. Even though I was expecting it (which is sad, really), there is a sense of personal violation. I notice that my neighbor's "No on Amendment 3" sign was not stolen. I guess his opinion is more acceptable to the yard sign thieves.
Screw them. I'm going down to Republican Party headquarters in Salt Lake City this afternoon, and buying three yard signs to replace the one that was stolen. And I'm going to smear the edges with shoe polish or something else that is sticky and messy, so if anyone steals my new signs, at least they'll get a nice handful of gunk. Hmm, it's too bad I threw away all the dog poop I picked up from the yard a few days ago. Got any other ideas?
I haven't really written in my Slashdot journal much. Mostly I write my thoughts in my weblog, Jeez O Petes. It's undergone a few moves recently, but I think jeezopetes.com should be the final stop in the journey. Feel free to check it out.
Hmm, first journal entry. This will go down on my permanent record. Oh yeah? Well, don't get so distressed. Did I happen to mention that I'm impressed?
This is Slashdot, so I guess I might as well rant about urinals. I don't think urinals actually get designed. I think most urinal companies just slap a piece of porcelain on a wall and call it good. Well, that doesn't work for me. There's almost no way to avoid splashing all over when peeing against a flat porcelain slab. I've taken to peeing at an angle, which just feels ridiculous.
I notice this all the time (several times a day, of course), but today a shining beacon of urinal light entered my life. I found the perfect urinal. It's at Apollo Burger on Redwood Road in West Jordan, Utah, in case you're into stuff like that and want to check it out. The urinal is curved and deep, so you can just go and not worry about it. It's the simple things in life that make me happy.
You can't go home again, unless you set $HOME.

This exceptionally fine piece of Bencharong dates to the late Ayuthya period (1350-1767), when the style arose. The bowl is decorated in deep and varied colours with alternate images of 'thepanom' and 'norasingh', both minor Buddhist deities. Typically the 'thepanom' sit cross-legged in a praying posture, nude except for a petalled collar, bracelets and crown, while the 'norasingh', believed to reside in the mythical Himaphan forest in the Himalayan mountains, have a human head, the hindquarters of a lion with a flame-tipped tail and the hoofs of a deer.

INNOVATION especially that closely related to the Internet and smart phones is fast becoming household words in many urban homes in Tanzania. Tigo Tanzania is one company that boasts for being one of the most innovative telecommunications company on the land.
Staff writer MASEMBE TAMBWE probes into one of its biggest creations yet when Tigo launched the first mobile life insurance scheme.
BASED on the current rate of access to mobile phones, the Tanzanian market shows potential for further m-money adoption. Sixty-three per cent of surveyed households have access to a mobile phone.
Fifty-six per cent of households own at least one active SIM card which is required for opening an m-money account. Even among rural, unbanked and poor households (those living on less than $2 a day), about one-half of households have access to a mobile phone and own a SIM card.
According to a mobile money report of 2012, based on users' perspectives, the leading challenge to m-money uptake is the inconsistent service quality offered by m-money agents. The large majority of registered users reported they had encountered problems with agents.
In particular, they cited agents' absenteeism and insufficient e-float or cash to help with a transaction. Another impediment to m-money uptake suggested by the survey findings is an insufficient understanding of m-money applications by potential and current users.
"M-money is not a regular feature of households' lending and insurance activities but is used in some cases. Currently, 6 per cent of all households that own insurance, 44 and 11 per cent of households that have engaged in any type of loan-related activities, 45 used an m-money account for related transactions, including credit and payment transfers," the report read in part. Eight per cent of all surveyed households owned any type of insurance in the past six months.
The majority of those households have only one type of insurance, with medical insurance mentioned most frequently (6 per cent).
The percentage of households reporting any other insurance is at or below 2 per cent. In a bid to serve the quality life to Tanzanians, Tigo Tanzania in association with its partners Bima, MicroEnsure and Golden Crescent made history in June 2011 and launched the first mobile life insurance in Tanzania, called Tigo Bima.
In November 2012, Tigo followed that up by launching a first of its kind revolutionary product: a Life and Hospitalization coverage available via mobile phone in Tanzania for all its subscribers. The life and hospitalization product offers customers a wide variety of coverage levels to cater for all Tanzanians.
Prices start as low as at 750/- (Bati Package) per month which entitles customers to 100,000/- Life Insurance Cover and 50,000/- Hospitalization Insurance Cover annually right up to the highest being 10,000/-, (Tanzanite Package) offering 1m/- Life Insurance Cover and 1m/- Hospitalization Insurance Cover annually.
One of the beneficiaries of the product Ms Beatrice Abraham, a Dar es Salaam resident said that, she found out about Tigo Bima through a friend and registered for cover in December 2012 where she chose the premium Tanzanite cover so that she could enjoy the best possible coverage.
Ms Abraham, who lives in Mbezi Louis, with her young daughter and husband, gets treated at Ubungo Kibangu Mission Hospital. Ms Abraham felt ill on February 1, 2013 and went to Ubungo Kibangu Mission Hospital where, upon examination, was admitted at the hospital for 12 days.
According to her, when she found out that she was to be admitted, she notified Tigo Bima customer care unit and was walked through how to lodge a claim.
"After I was discharged, I collected all the necessary claim documentations and sent them to the Tigo Bima offices and within 10 days, all my benefits were paid out to me!
I can't overstate the great role played by Tigo in my life at my most time of need. "Falling sick has always been my worst nightmare since I had no clue how I will manage to foot the bills.
This kind of insecurity drove me crazy. But now I have some peace of mind knowing that I have health security incase of hospitalization or even when I pass away! And to think that all this is possible for only 10,000/- is incredible!" she said.
The launch of the life and hospitalization product followed the triumph of the original free life insurance product that the same partners have been running since June 2011.
This product is the first of its kind in the world, making Tigo Tanzania the first mobile operator to offer such an innovative platform for health insurance.
Tigo Bima now allows customers to choose a level of coverage based on their personal preferences enabling them to obtain insurance cover upon their passing or upon being hospitalized.
The hospitalization insurance covers customers for up to 30 nights in hospital via a nightly payout system of a lump sum of cash irrespective of the ailment that the customer suffered.
The simplicity and affordability of payment makes the product a great success. Customers select their preferred mode of payment as they can either be deducted from their Tigo Pesa account or from their Tigo airtime balance.
Having never had any insurance before, Ms Abraham was very glad that her first experience resulted in such a positive outcome. Upon receiving her money, she continuously urge for more people to register with Tigo Bima because of the peace of mind and the great help that the cover offers in a time of need.
Customers can make claims by phoning the dedicated claims line on 065 844 4422 where they can check their cover level, the hospital network and change certain details through a USSD menu available on their phone by dialing the USSD short code *148*15#.
The product is made possible through collaboration between Tigo, who provide the mobile expertise, Bima who are responsible for the sales, distribution and technical platform, MicroEnsure who provide the claims management and the product is underwritten by Golden Crescent Assurance.
"The product aims to provide the underserved Tanzanian market with affordable options for both health and life insurance. Tigo cares deeply for its customers and therefore works hard to come up with products and services that not only change the way people communicate but also ensure that through communication they live better lives," said Mr William Mpinga, Tigo's brand manager.
Mr Mpinga said that they would continuously strive to provide affordable quality products so that their customers get value beyond their investment in their products.
The product is available to all pre-paid Tigo subscribers in both its life insurance and hospitalization cover within a network of 14 reputable hospitals for Dares- Salaam region and would gradually be extended to the entire country.

A diamond in the desert
It's a bright, shining gem . . . tucked away among sagebrush, polished and refined by the sands of innovation and determination. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, one of the U.S. Department of Energy's national laboratories, is truly a diamond in the desert.
Located in the shadow of Southeastern Washington's imposing Rattlesnake Mountain, Pacific Northwest's boundaries encompass a research and development agenda of a nationaland internationalscale. Here, researchers are finding ways to turn chemicals from corn into car bumpers, helping Korea can spent nuclear fuel, and developing hungry microorganisms that consume environmental waste.
"Just like a diamond, the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is multi-faceted. Our staff have many skills and talents, which when drawn together, enable us to solve some of our nation's toughest problems."
--Bill Madia, Director,
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
A Rare Find
State-of-the-art equipment and facilities, world-renowned scientists and engineers, and unprecedented capabilities make Pacific Northwest a diamond in the desert. In partnership with DOE's Richland Operations Office, the Laboratory is a vital part of our nation's research and development enterprise and an important asset to the community in which it operates.
Part of the Laboratory's brilliance comes from its advanced equipment and facilities, like the William R. Wiley Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL)the newest user facility in the DOE system. As a national scientific user facility, EMSL hosts researchers from around the world who seek solutions to the nation's toughest environmental problems. Those researchers who can't travel to EMSL can still access its capabilities and equipment through its collaboratory, a suite of technologies that allow real-time remote collaborations via the World Wide Web.
DOE's significant investments in EMSL, a $230-million facility, make it the cornerstone of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. EMSL houses more than 100 equipment systems, including one of the world's top 10 supercomputers and the most powerful, state-of-the-art nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer ever built.
To keep Pacific Northwest National Laboratory "shining" and operating as efficiently, cost-effectively and safely as possible, the Laboratory took a look inside.
In partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy's Richland Operations Office, Pacific Northwest undertook a series of steps to improve its operations over the past several years. With these changes, it moved closer to a goal of becoming the benchmark standard for how laboratories should be run in the DOE system.
Our Operations Improvement Program, launched three years ago, provided us with the tools and systems we'll need to work safely and efficiently now and into the next decade. For example, we've implemented an integrated safety management program that better addresses environment, safety, and health issues throughout the entire lifecycle of our work.
Not surprisingly, DOE also is investing in EMSL's research programs. Last year, Laboratory scientists were awarded millions in new research grants that will lead to breakthrough technologies needed for today's complex environmental problems. The importance of EMSL goes well beyond environmental cleanup and remediation, however. EMSL helps Pacific Northwest expand to develop the next generation of scientific technologies needed for DOE's energy, national security, and fundamental science missions.
A Beacon of Light
More than equipment and facilities, however, Pacific Northwest is staffed with experts in the energy, transportation, medical, national security, and environmental industries. These experts often are relied upon to solve problems of national and international concern. For example, in the areas of energy and transportation, Pacific Northwest researchers are key players in the DOE-sponsored Northwest Alliance for Transportation Technologies (NATT). NATT, a partnership among Northwest industries, national laboratories, and universities, is focused on developing advanced lightweight materials for the vehicle of the future. Through this alliance, Pacific Northwest's scientists and engineers will participate in some of the most exciting automotive and materials research of the next century, including developing a vehicle that will operate with triple today's fuel efficiency and greatly reduced emissions.
"The Department of Energy is pleased with the progress Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has made over the previous two years in completing the milestones associated with the Operations Improvement Program and thereby improving their basis for safe operations of facilities. We are even more pleased with the manner in which the Laboratory has taken the disparate parts of OIP and integrated them into a system for safe operations."
--Bob Rosselli,
Assistant Manager of Science and Technology,
Department of Energy,
Richland Operations Office
Internationally, Pacific Northwest staff travel the globe, working with a host of countries to improve the safety of Soviet-designed nuclear power plants following the aftermath of Chornobyl. Under the International Nuclear Safety Program, DOE and the Laboratory lead efforts to improve the physical conditions of plants, train plant operators, and establish modern safety technologies and methods. Other programs apply modern technologies to reduce the global danger from nuclear weapons. Our scientists and engineers have developed equipment for treaty verification, monitoring weapons stockpiles, and monitoring and managing nuclear material.
Some of our environmental work takes us to Mexico where we are helping to clean up air pollution using computer models designed to predict atmospheric conditions. These models also could potentially guide responses to pollution, such as changing the location or timing of pollution releases.
In the health field, scientists are developing bone implants using a bioactive coating process. Patterned after Mother Nature's method for developing shells, the process deposits a bone-like calcium phosphate mineral on the implant surface, creating a bioactive surface that facilitates rapid bone formation around the implant. This breakthrough process makes longer-lasting orthopedic implants, saving patients the pain, risk, and expense of repeated surgeries.
The Right Fit
From development of a lightweight automobile to three-dimensional scanning of injured soldiers, Pacific Northwest is developing technologies that improve our everyday lives. What brings customers back to Pacific Northwest is our unique resources, state-of-the-art equipment, and world-renowned scientists and engineers. It is here, in Southeastern Washington, where industry and government find their diamond in the desert.

New York, NY (PRWEB) August 29, 2013
Vajra reveals the controversial new design for their Fall 2013 line of merchandise on their Facebook page. The design incorporates sacred geometry and a host of mystical symbolism weaved together with what some would consider blatantly obscene gestures. Band founder, writer and vocalist, Annamaria Pinna states, "I'm not going to explain what the symbols mean individually and how they relate to each other as a whole. Each person may interpret the image as a whole in a completely different manner. And that is perfect. Generally, the symbols reflect medieval and currently relevant mystical concepts or ideas as well as some recognizable images that have a deep history and are also currently relevant. Some people will identify superficially with the image and others may dig a little deeper and identify with something else. That is ok with me."
To check out the new design, go to Vajra's Facebook page at:

Mohonk ReduxSubmitted by jjackson on Mon, 2008-01-28 15:21
Here are a few images from Jazz on the Mountain, Michael Bourne's yearly January retreat at the Mohonk Mountain House in New Paltz. Fran Kaufman took these photos. Fran is always on the scene, taking shots of music in the making. Now thru February 24th, you can see more of Fran Kaufman's jazz photography at Brooklyn Academy of Music's Brooklyn Next Art series.
Here's Steven Bernstein and the Millennial Territory Orchestra:
Brasileiros - Maucha Adnet, Duduka da Fonseca, and Helio Alves:
And Michael Bourne very much in his element with Maucha Adnet and Dena DeRose:
Finally, a note from Michael Bourne:
"Jazz on the Mountain" was the best it's been in the 9 years I've been working the jazzfest at Mohonk Mountain House. All three nights the enormous hotel was sold-out, first time ever for the whole Martin Luther King weekend. Every concert was a hit, which was especially heartening since I book artists that I personally like. Joe Locke was especially a hit, playing opening night with The Brazilian Trio (Helio Alves, Nilson Matta, Duduka da Fonseca) and Maucha Adnet, playing an electrifying show Saturday afternoon and getting a standing O with his own new Force of Four group, joining Dena DeRose on Sunday afternoon, and highlighting the free-form "Parlor Games" on Monday morning. When I asked folks which were favorite shows, every artist was enthusiastically named, including singer Kendra Shank, Steven Bernstein and the Millenial Territory Orchestra, Hipmotism with saxophonist Erik Lawrence and singer Marya Lawrence. Marya Lawrence was the surprise of the weekend, twice playing seriously bopping solos on a slide-kazoo. The Frank Vignola Quintet blew the roof off Sunday evening with the swinging vitality of Django's Hot Club Quintet but without trying to imitate Django. I "performed" "As Time Goes By" during the Monday morning musical mixing and matching of players from the weekend. We've already pretty much programmed next year's jazzfest, which will be my 10th at Mohonk." -- MBourne

When a guy doesn't pay?
his guy who I do like and we do get a long has asked me on breaks with him and lunch where he took me out and paid both times. He asked me on a break... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
My boyfriend and I occasionally will go dutch on meals, usually he'll ask if he's running low on money. I wouldn't worry too much about it. It's likely he's just trying to watch his money until next pay and still wants to have his lunch with you. It's something he looks forward to as well I'm guessing and this time really wanted it, but just couldn't afford the two of you at that point and the fact that he brought it up, means he probably doesn't like that I couldn't pay, so he didn't want you to worry about what him not buying for you this time.
yeah maybe.. he didn't flat out say sorry I couldn't pay for you.. he just brought up a situation ( I really can't remember what) but he concluded with how he can't manage his money.
Perhaps his way of apologizing, wanting you to understand, but as it is for a lot of people, it's hard to flat out say sorry, even for something simple. It was obvious that he understood that it was a big enough issue if he felt like bringing up why he couldn't pay.
lol yeah. He didn't bring up he couldn't pay or anything. lol it was just normal. He just mentioned having bad money management. So who knows lol
What Guys Said 6
He wants to see if you are the type of women that will make him pay all the time. I used to always pay when in a relationship, but after I saw how many women liked to date these gangsta type of guys that don't even pay for McDonald's I decided to accommodate them and not pay after the first few dates.
well I didn't say anything I just paid my own way. He brought up bad money management and I didn't really comment on it lol I just let him say it. Was that wrong of me? .. next time I'm gonna pay if he asks me again. Was it best that I didn't say anything and I paid my own way? god I hope he doesn't think I expect him to pay all the time. lol not like that at all.
- Show Older Hide Older
lol did I pass then? by not saying anything hahah. I just paid my own way.
I would think so.
Its sounds like he was just short on cash. Either that or he expected you to pay too since he feels you aren't in a relationship so you should share the bill. Guys can be clueless with these kind of things sometimes.
there was no way I could have paid that time. Cause he had already paid for his stuff by the time I got there. Like the the cash person was giving him back change. Then I paid for my stuff and he mentioned something and said he had bad money management skills lol. There no way I could have paid/ he expected that time lol next time I will for sure though regardless.
definitely could still be interested
Thanks.. so it isn't like not a sign of losing interest or me doing something wrong?
- Show Older Hide Older
"I don't know if that was him trying to cover for not paying or just brining up convo."
oh the boy is playing mind games then.
Last I checked, this was 2011.
I get that. trust me I wanted to pay but he had alreayd paid by the time I got there and when I got my stuff he talked about how he had bad money management. I was just wondering if it was a red flag or something like if they don't pay when they usually do. that all.
- Show Older Hide Older
lol this is true. well if he asks me again I'll pay to return the favor regarless you don't think that shows the friend zone or anything/ I did anything wrong?
You need to talk to him.
He wanted to see if you are gonna contribute to the relationship or if is always going to be a one sided thing.
lol well I hope I contributed then by paying my own way. Cause as I have said before there was no way I could have offered to pay as when I got there he had already put the money down and he was getting change back. I just didn't say anything and paid my own way. It not like I called him out.I just asked normal and did my own thing.
Then you should arrange the next date and pay for both you and him. This will show him that you are interested in him.
do you think he is interested though? I mean he paid both times and I know he didn't pay the last time. though, he asked me the next day if I was going to join them for the BBQ but I couldn't cause I didn't get a lunch that day. but I guess that's one way to get a message across. It would be a sign that he doesn't like me that way, if he won't let me pay for him?
What Girls Said 6
if he said he had bad money management skills it's probably just because he realized he only had money for himself or just realized its too expensive to pay for you all the time. I think that if he keeps asking you out, he likes you. Just make sure it's not a at-work thing. he needs to ask you out on a real date otherwise he could just want to be lunch buddies.
yeah I have no idea what the situation was. As I got there he already paid.. and when I paid for mine when we walked out he mentioned something about a siutation.. and kept repeating he had money management problems lol. I don't really know how to get him to ask me on a real date. I'm going off his lead .. and it just seems to be lunch and breaks at the moment :/ he hasn't gone to the work gatherings latley.. though I ask if he went.
Have an opinion?

Disparities Policy
Health and Access to Care and Coverage for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Individuals in the U.S.
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals often face challenges and barriers to accessing needed health services and, as a result, can experience worse health outcomes. These challenges can include stigma, discrimination, violence, and rejection by families and communities, as well as other barriers, such as inequality in the workplace and health insurance sectors, the provision of substandard care, and outright denial of care because of an individual's sexual orientation or gender identity.1,2,3
While sexual and gender minorities have many of the same health concerns as the general population, they experience certain health challenges at higher rates, and also face several unique health challenges. In particular, research suggests that some subgroups of the LGBT community have more chronic conditions as well as higher prevalence and earlier onset of disabilities than heterosexuals. Other major health concerns include HIV/AIDS, mental illness, substance use, and sexual and physical violence. In addition to the higher rates of illness and health challenges, some LGBT individuals are more likely to experience challenges obtaining care. Barriers include gaps in coverage, cost-related hurdles, and poor treatment from health care providers.
Several recent changes within the legal and policy landscape serve to increase access to care and insurance for LGBT individuals and their families. Most notably the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the Supreme Court's overturning of a major portion of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), the subsequent legalization of same-sex marriage in many states, as well as recent steps taken by the Obama Administration to promote equal treatment of LGBT people and same-sex couples in the nation's health care system have reshaped policy affecting LGBT individuals and their families. The ACA expands access to health insurance coverage for millions, including LGBT individuals, and includes specific protections related to sexual orientation and gender identity. The Supreme Court ruling on DOMA resulted in federal recognition of same-sex marriages for the first time and paved the way for recognition in many more states which also serves to provide new health insurance coverage options.4
This issue brief provides an overview of what is known about LGBT health status, coverage, and access in the United States, and reviews the implications of the ACA, the overturning of DOMA, and other recent policy developments for LGBT individuals and their families going forward.

We were hoping for the world's first smoky cream TB...
My Pearlescent mare (perlino TB) had a filly on April 21st by my Guaranteed Gold stallion (cremello) so cremello, perlino and smoky cream were the colour options. Nothing else was genetically possible
She was born a very dark palomino color with chocolately mane and tail hairs.
When she dried off, here is a picture of her at about 60 minutes old:
And here is one from the next day at one day old:
And here is one at one week old:
So - this now makes her the 4th perlino TB in the world along with her dam. So far - there are only the 4 perlino TB mares - no colts at all, and there are no smoky creams - male or female - in existence. So - we'll hopefully be able to change that when the next foal is born!
This fabulous filly was sold in utero to my client in the States, so once she is weaned and ready to go, she will be heading to her new home in CO ...
And her name?
Very aptly "Champagneandpearls" ...

Actually, the new Rich UI interface uses the WSDL dynamically to provide proxy capabilities. I'm just learning about that bit, so I can't give you all the details. It has to do with cross-site request limitations.AFAIK you don't need it during deployment.Correct, the WSDL is used for "code stubbing" in all the different
environments I have seen it used (mostly .NET and Java).
The point I was trying to get at is that not all web services use a WSDL.Not to be too pedantic about it, but if you don't have a WSDL, then you don't have a Web Service. What you have is an HTTP service that uses SOAP and XML. In that case, you just use a RESTful connection and do the parsing yourself.
And I wouldn't bring it up period except that there is an alarmingly high
percentage of web services that don't use a WSDL (I'd estimate around 40%
depending on the industry of the remote company you are connecting to).

Rheumatic fever results from an infection caused by certain strains
of streptococcal bacteria and may be triggered by a strep infection (most often
strep throat) that has not been treated. Proper treatment of strep infection
can prevent rheumatic fever.
Rheumatic fever affects the joints and heart, causing symptoms
similar to arthritis as well as heart problems (rheumatic heart disease).
Rheumatic fever may also affect the skin, brain, and other organs and tissues.
Most of the damage caused by rheumatic fever is temporary. But if any
heart damage occurs, it is usually permanent.

Hi I'm Betty. Welcome to Betty's kitchen. Tonight I'm making soup beans with ham and corn bread for dinner. And the reason I'd choose to show you this is I have a lot of request lately for some kind of meal, a complete meal that is nutritious, it has to be quick to make and has to be easy to make and has to be easy on the budget. And I had a several people that I don't know work for send trying to save a little money here and there. They don't really have time a lot of time to do cooking, I had students contact me and said what would be, what would fit all of those categories. and what it came out is soup beans and corn bread. And if you're from the region where I live, you know you can go on any Cracker barrel restaurant and you'll find soup beans and corn bread on the menu. So it's kind of popular around here I don't know how this in the rest of the country, but lets get started.
Now we're going to do this with can beans and I've chosen Pinto Bake. Just for demonstration purposes we're going to use the can beans and show you how quickly you can come up with a complete meal that is very innutritious, very easy to do and it also should be easy on the budget. I'm going to put some ham in, you can leave this out or you might use that goya ham flavored seasoning that I mention when we we're doing green beans. What I've chosen here is Hormel lean smoke ham so it doesn't have a lot of calories that you might expect with ham seasoning, but it does give the dish a little bit extra taste. So I like to use it instead of just the seasoning mix. We have 5 ounces here in this can and I already taken a sharp knife and going trough and kind the made a grid pattern on it, so when it comes out it should be in cubes. And it has some juice with it, we want to save that ham a juice because that's a little flavor as well and you can see I chopped it up so it can be spread out trough out the beans.
Now the beans just going to pour those in, this is not much of a recipe it just maybe a reminder, I called it a reminder of something that you might have done in the past that you have forgotten it and you look doesn't think, that does not so bad I got the soup beans and corn bread. So we'll get this started by just stirring this up a little bit, you want to use all of that liquid of the beans and your chopped ham should be chunk enough that you see it separate like this. And when you get it like that just go ahead and put on the stove all ingredients heating but it doesn't matter if you cook it for awhile, its very flexible. So will just turn it on low and let it sit there before we start our corn bread.
And now I'm going corn bread from scratch, I've made corn sticks for you and I think I made corn muffins for you. So this time I'm going to put it in a pan that is a, I think this eight inches square. It's a pan, it could be eight inch square or nine inch square, either way what would work fine for you. But the ingredients I'm going to use to my corn bread, I'll start with flour, I've got three quarters of a cup. Now the amount of flour that I use determines how much corm meal mix I'm going to put with it, trough the flour it is self rising. The corn meal mix, here is the container it come off I just dumped this in a big glass jar, usually I'm put a liter on it just to keep nice and fresh but this is the container that came in. Its self rising corn meal, it doesn't said mix but its corn meal mix and I'm using twice as much as I did on the flour. So that use 3 quarters a cup of flour I need one and one half cups of corn meal mix, so those two things are the main ingredients here. With this much and you can make any size as you want just keep that proportion going. But with this much I'm going to use two eggs.
When I make about half this much I'll just use one egg. Let's just crack the egg and put it in here and a second egg and then I want stir this up but its going to be very sticky and make it gummy kind of dough if I don't put some of my milk can. I don't know how much milk this is going to take but what I do is I have two cups measured out here. I will put in what I think it needs or just some to start with. And there's a certain look that it has and you just have to learn to look for that but I will take in terms of measurement when I get to it. But I will be continuing to add you can see it, its way to dry just spread into a dish so more milk. This is skimmed milk you can use any type of milk that you like just stir this around. You really want to stir this just enough to get it blended properly but with the right consistency.
I like it just a little thinner than that and it's not the exact science. If you put a little too much a little too little as compared to what I have here it's not going to make much difference. If you have your corn bread batter ready for the pan this is what its look like. It's nice and fluid and the egg is been combined in there so it's ready for the pan. However there is a trick that I do on the pan and I didn't think about it but I probably we had a problem if I had because this is going to the oven and be heated and probably it will over heat by now. You don't want it to be smoke you put it in 475 degree oven and we will be baking this in 475 degree which is very hot. So I'm going to put this in the over right now and as soon as it get hot but not smoking I'm going to put this batter in and I will be baking it, and will be taking maybe 15 to20 minutes of the timer and I will let you know the time.
I'm putting my pan in the oven nice and heated and I didn't tell you how much milk I use, I just looked and it was one cup. So I will be back when the corn bread is done because I'm going to wait for that to heat and put the mix on it.
I just got my soup beans on the stove and I'm pouring it in a nice serving dish and I'm going to throw this and I've just gotten the corn bread out of the oven. My test for done in the corn bread is take a toothpick and put down the center and comes out clean which is does and its done. So what we're going to do is cut a piece of corn bread it's going to take a minute to do that. So let me comeback and I'll show to serve you on this plate. I served my self with some of the soup beans so from this larger bowl would just put a little bit in here. Now you could cook this down and tell this is very dry, you can have very liquid there to be thick and as fine as you like to have them so here we have the nice big serving and then to go with it we want some of this bread. The corn bread I've cut into 16 squares, four squares four cuts on the side and could see what its look like top and bottom. It's hot so let's take the next one coming along down there. Have a couple of squares here and what goes great with that is some fresh batter so I'm going to cut a little bit of butter and just put it on the plate so we have available to me.
So I got my meal, here are my soup beans with my spoon and here is my corn bread to go with it. On the soup beans I'm going to put a sprinkling of onions, you may like this and you may not so that's just to an individuals taste, and I have a glass of milk to drink. Made me a super wholesome meal and then to cut down on that wholesomeness, got the brownie pudding that we made earlier today. So if you haven't seen the brownie pudding you might be interested looking that up. But this is my complete meal and its cost affective, it's quick and easy and I think you're going to enjoy it.

Barbara Walters' last 'Most Fascinating People' special stars Miley Cyrus, Jennifer Lawrence and 'Duck Dynasty'Add to Favorites | Barbara Walters Presents the 10 Most Fascinating People of 2013
If doing her final "10 Most Fascinating People" special is momentous for Barbara Walters, she isn't letting on.
The iconic broadcast journalist is set to retire after the current TV season, meaning many "lasts" for her in the coming months. One of the first of those lasts is "Barbara Walters Presents the 10 Most Fascinating People of 2013," this year's edition of the program she's done annually since 1993. ABC airs it Wednesday, Dec. 18.
"We wanted a retrospective, because it's been 20 years," Walters says to Zap2it. "In 1993, the most fascinating person was Hillary Clinton. We've done her three times, and Bill Clinton three times, and Sarah Palin three times. And in each case, it was three years in a row."
Though the naming of the No. 1 choice is held until the telecast, Walters' last list includes Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence, "Good Morning America" co-anchor Robin Roberts, Miley Cyrus and the cast of "Duck Dynasty," plus certain people Walters couldn't interview: Pope Francis, intelligence document leaker Edward Snowden and England's royal baby, Prince George.
As prestigious as it's been to make Walters' "Most Fascinating" group, she notes most lobbying to get in has been low-key: "Usually it's a joke. If I'm on with Jimmy Kimmel or David Letterman, they'll say, 'You mean to tell me I haven't made the list yet?' And we'll say, 'Well, we did 10. You were No. 11.'"
Many thoughts have come from guests Walters and her co-hosts have had on the weekday ABC program "The View." She also produces that show with longtime colleague Bill Geddie, and she says, "If something happens, he and I will look at each other and say, 'You know what? That has to be on 'Most Fascinating People.' You just know as the year goes on."
Though Walters still would be an executive producer, might someone else become the "Most Fascinating People" host? "I don't know what will happen," she maintains. "Other people have tried this with the same theme, but not as successfully as ours for some reason. I think the audience expects ours to be a little different."

The Hamptons International Film Festival makes its 20th appearance next weekend, and while the primary focus will be on the moving image in the form of 140 plus films from around the globe, there's another aspect of the festival that involves a different sort of visual art.
Each year, HIFF produces an original poster as a promotional piece to advertise the festival. The centerpiece of these posters is an original piece of artwork, while some images are abstract and others, decidedly cinematic in theme, the artists and photographers selected are always top names and many of them have an East End connection. Which means the posters themselves end up becoming a piece of collectible art.
This weekend, the Peter Marcelle Gallery in Bridgehampton opens "Celebrating 20 years of the Hamptons International Film Festival: Artist Poster Retrospective" an exhibit featuring each of the posters created for the HIFF over the course of the last two decades. The list of participating artists reads like a whose who of contemporary art — there's Eric Fischl (1993, 2002, 2010), April Gornik (1995, 2005), Donald Sultan (1996), Julian Schnabel (2001), Cindy Sherman (2006) and Bruce Weber (2011) to name a few.
"Every poster has a story," says Gianna Chachere, festival producer who notes that though the purpose of the posters is to promote film, the artists are given complete freedom in deciding what to do with the space.
"It's really been up to the artist," adds Chachere. "I came on board in '06 – the first artist was Cindy Sherman. She had provided a number of images for our use. We had a poster image and an image on the front of our catalog. That was coupe for us. The two photos we acquired of Sherman were film motifs. One was evocative of 'On the Waterfront,' and in another she was a starlet in the 50s."
In the case of Sherman, who's known for photographic self-portraits in which she assumes a different identity, Chachere notes that the cinematic theme is a natural.
"When you're working with someone who has that connection, there's already a link," says Chachere. "You wouldn't think of film necessarily connected to the work of April Gornik or Eric Fichl. They're not film oriented per se."
Yet, their images also work in the context of the film poster, though perhaps by making a statement that is less literal and more introspective.
"If I look at some of the posters in our office, sometimes the artist has chosen something film related or a film focus. But others are completely outside of that," says Chachere. "Or they address something that speaks more to their strengths of what kind of artist they are. Collectively, they're stunning to see in a group because they're so different — different styles, different colors."
"Julian Schnabel actually painted 'Hamptons Film Festival' on a burlap sack," she adds. "The sack was auctioned as a giveback to the festival."
This year's poster features a colorful and semi-abstract painting by British artist Cecily Brown. The artist was born in London in 1969, where she studied at the Slade School, and she currently lives and works in New York and is represented by the Gagosian Gallery.
"Her studio is in New York and she's actually very young," says Chachere. "We haven't had that many female artists — fewer than I would like. I think that her paintings are innocent and sophisticated at the same time and they're a bit abstract. They make you focus on what's missing rather than what's present."
When asked how artists are selected, Chachere explains the task falls each year to Michael Lynne, a member of the HIFF board and owner of Bedell Cellars vineyard and winery on the North Fork. Lynne also knows a thing or two about art and film — not only is he on the board of the Museum of Modern Art, but he's also co-chairman and co-chief executive of New Line Cinema.
"It's Michael Lynne's job – he knows who's out here and has a connection out here," says Chachere, who adds that the posters are a nice way to remember the festival long after the awards have been handed out.
"It's a very nice memento and a souvenir of that year," says Chachere. "Given that every poster is wildly different and evokes different emotion and aesthetics, its nice, especially for someone like me who has been with the festival so long. It reminds me of that year. I think that's a nice thing."
The posters are also something for festival goers to take home with them and they are offered for sale throughout the run of the festival. Unsigned posters go for $20 and signed versions are $74.
"We always have a special poster signing," says Chachere. "I think it's a nice way to feature work from a different aesthetic."
And there's a good chance the posters will become collectibles. Chachere notes that though the HIFF has copies of all the posters from the festival's history (a complete set of signed posters will be sold by Peter Marcelle Gallery for $4,000) she admits they don't have as many in-house as they would like — especially from the earlier years. Which may ultimately speak to the popularity of the HIFF poster, not only as a marketing tool, but as a valued piece of art.
"We do have a logo and a brand, but it's pretty static," says Chachere. "Working with the artists is a nice way to bring in a different view point and aesthetic that's a celebration of art in the film world — on a local and international level."
"Even if it's not directly related to film, these images are so striking on their own, they tell their own story."
"Celebrating 20 years of the Hamptons International Film Festival: Artist Poster Retrospective" opens with a reception on Saturday, September 29, 5 to 7 p.m. at Peter Marcelle Gallery, 2411 Main Street, Bridgehampton. The show runs through October 8. For details, call the gallery at (631) 613-6170. The 20th Hamptons International Film Festival runs October 4 to 8 at venues in East Hampton, Sag Harbor, Southampton, Montauk and Westhampton Beach.

We Are All Scott Olsen"
Iraq Veterans Against the War said "It's ironic that days after Obama's announcement of the end of the IraqScott [Olsen] faced a veritible war zone in the streets of Oakland last night. He and other protesters were surrounded by explosions and smoke (tear gas) going off around him as people nearby carried him while yelling for a medic."
The counter-attack of city authorities to clear the "Occupy" movement has now led to a serious injury, leaving protester Scott Olsen critically injured by an injury to his brain from a police projectile. Oakland police attacked a peaceful encampment on Tuesday at 5:00 am, after massing 500 police, for hours. Within minutes, hundreds were driven away, and police destroyed everything.
Tuesday evening, over 1,000 people gathered again in downtown Oakland to protest the eviction, and they were attacked viciously with tear gas canisters shot into the crowd, concussion grenades, and reports of rubber bullets.
While New York Mayor Bloomberg was not able to carry through on his eviction plan of Occupy Wall Street on October 14, because thousands of people answered a call to defend it, we continue to hear rumors and threats, as the New York Post, Fox News and other reactionary media outlets argue for more police repression.
Last night, hundreds from Occupy Wall Street marched uptown to protest the police attack on Oakland, and have adopted the slogan "We are All Scott Olsen." I've been on the phone all afternoon with a young woman arrested last night in the march who received a puncture wound in the leg from being beaten up by police. She's still awaiting arraignment, and may be there until Friday.
The authorities cannot tolerate such gatherings in public space. Huge numbers of police are surrounding the encampments, and any marches proceeding from them. Is there anyone that thinks, if there were just more police, that would solve any of the underlying problems causing people to take to the streets in a mix of desperation, anger, and hope?

Sackville RCMP
RCMP in Moncton and the surrounding area are warning the public about a case of fraud that appears to be aimed at seniors. On July 18, the police received three similar fraud complaints targeting elderly people over the telephone. In one case, a victim was defrauded of more than $5,000 and two other victims were targeted but did not provide money to the fraudster.
"In one of the cases, the victim received a phone call claiming that a family member had been in an accident. The other calls were similar," says Cst. Damien Thériault of the Codiac Regional RCMP. "The caller said the family member needed money urgently because the accident wasn't covered by insurance. The victim was asked to go buy a pre-paid Visa card and give the caller the card number and CSV code."
Police are warning people, especially seniors, to check the facts before sending money anywhere, no matter how urgent the situation may seem. A call to another family member can confirm or disprove the information.
Anyone with information on this particular telephone fraud scam is asked to contact the Codiac RCMP at 506-857-2400 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers either online at www.crimenb.ca or by calling 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). If your information leads to an arrest, you could qualify for a cash award of up to $2,000.

Fox has dozens of awesome characters at their disposal, and seeing as Wolverine's last movie was packed with characters, I thought it would be fun to speculate over who we would want to see in Logan's upcoming movie, The Wolverine. We know the likes of Silver Samurai and Jean Grey will appear, but there's so much possibility when it comes to implementing another character or two.
This Tuesday, we provided a poll with ten characters and voting was open until this morning. The list ranged from Deadpool (no, not Weapon XI) to Jubilee. It was a close race -- much closer than the previous questions -- but ultimately, X-23 slashed her way to the top.
I can understand why the clone took the victory. Not only is she a fan favorite, but seeing someone else yelling for a change would be refreshing. Not to bash Hugh Jackman or anything -- I actually like him as Logan -- but seeing the character make a switch to a father figure instead of being the center of all the trouble would be a neat change of pace. Plus, X-23's story is simply cool (if you haven't read 'Innocence Lost,' get on that). In the meantime, let's pray Dennis Hopeless doesn't kill her over in the pages of AVENGERS ARENA (you know, assuming the deaths are for real and not a virtual reality). Did you vote for Laura? If so, why? If not, who earned your vote and why do you want to see them?
Check out the poll results below to see what other characters the community really wanted to see. Honestly, I'm shocked there wasn't more demand for bringing back Scott Summers.
- Deadpool: 16%
- Daken: 15%
- Sabretooth: 13%
- Kitty Pryde: 11%
- Jubilee: 8%
- Sunfire: 8%
- Cyclops: 5%
- Elektra: 4%
- Cyber: 2%
The Wolverine is directed by James Mangold and comes out July 26th. Don't forget to check the homepage next Tuesday for a new 'Comic Book Question of the Week!'
