For 'Blood & Chrome,' BSG Might Be DOA On Syfy
Despite previous announcements, new series not exactly a sure-thing for television
The one consolation Battlestar Galactica fans had following the cancellation of the prequel "Caprica" was that an originally proposed Web series was going to come to television instead.
But now there's a possibility it's heading right back to the Web.
AOL TV is reporting that "Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome" may not end up on the boob tube anytime soon. Or even at all. Syfy president of original programming Mark Stern hinted during San Diego Comic-Con last month that no decision had been made on the ultimate fate of "Blood & Chrome," and there's a good chance it could be shown through the same medium you're reading this story.
Filming on the pilot is complete, but a good portion of the special effects are not, Stern told the site last month. Because of that, there is no immediate plans to give the show an air date, and if it does come to television, it almost definitely won't be in 2011.
The idea could be to try out "Blood & Chrome" as a backdoor pilot, similar to what Syfy did with "Battlestar Galactica" back in 2003. However, the difference here is that "Battlestar" was a four-hour miniseries, while "Blood & Chrome" will simply be a two-hour movie.
And while "Battlestar" had to face tough comparisons with the classic 1978 series, "Blood & Chrome" not only would have to live up to the hype that follows "Battlestar," but also pick up the pieces of the franchise broken when Syfy unceremoniously pulled the plug on the reincarnation bath of "Caprica." Syfy not only cancelled that show, but inexplicably pulled the remaining five episodes off the schedule and released them on DVD before showing them in a marathon.
Airlock Alpha has reached out to Stern for comment on the story, but he has yet to respond.
"Blood & Chrome" takes place, timeline wise, between "Caprica" and "Battlestar Galactica." Taking place a short time before flashback scenes used in the telemovie "Razor" with a young William Adama first coming aboard the Battlestar Galactica during the first Cylon War. It was written by "Battlestar" alum Michael Taylor.
The series will have some twists and turns, if the pilot script is of any clue, and will feature never-before-seen versions of the Cylons, all meant to lead into the Peabody-winning series that helped put Syfy on the creative map.
The "Blood & Chrome" pilot stars Luke Pasqualino as William Adama, Ben Cotton as Coker Fasjovik, Lili Bordan as Dr. Becca Kelly, and Brian Markinson as Silas Nash.
Syfy has made no official announcements about the fate of "Blood & Chrome," so any speculation of its fate should be treated as any rumor would.

just wondering if any veterans can give me a reason not to buy pre built from places like cyberpower and other websites.
from what i can tell you actually come out cheaper with the deals and bundles and you dont have the hassle of putting it together yourself and probably coming across a bunch of issues.

Quality prebuilt pc's generally cost 20% more to buy than DIY.

If you build your own, you can pick higher quality parts for cheaper. You also have more options if you build your own, though some sites will offer quite a few options.
Getting a computer built to order makes sense if either you're really computer illiterate (e.g., if you would have to call tech support if someone unplugged the power cord) or if you've got a lot more money than time so that it's worth paying hundreds of dollars more to save you a couple of hours assembling the machine. If you're in the latter category and don't mind overpaying so long as you get something very nice, you'd be better off with a boutique vendor that will charge more than Cyber Power PC but take better care of their customers. And if you're in the former category, you'll need to get someone to come to your house and plug things in when a computer gets shipped to you.

I'm a guy who has done both. It depends on what you need.
The best possible PC will be a custom built PC. If you always want to have the best possible PC you will always be better off making your own. The major difference will be the operating system. An OS is not cheap. If you go to school and they offer an OS for free it might be cheaper. As well look into corporate editions.
Custom PCs can be cheaper but the operating system makes a huge difference.
When you buy a store bought computer there are things you should look for. Most importantly you should make sure the motherboard has a PCI slot. Having a PCI slot means you can install a new video card which is important. You'll need a new power supply unit (PSU) when you purchase your video card (usually).
Alternatively if you're not looking for something insanely powerful you can get the Asus 7750:
It runs DirectX 11 games at 30 frames per second. The current gold standard is Direct X 9, which it runs at 130 frapes per second.
The downside to the store bought PC is that your upgrade potential is going to be low. You can purchase a decent tower and a video card for $1,000 but after that all you will ever be able to upgrade are going to be that one video card and the power supply unit. Every other component is hard mounted into the motherboard.
It depends on your needs.
A lot of the time these really big rig custom built PCs end up being about an ego, similar to the custom built car, and less about purpose.

If you have the time and patience, you can build much cheaper. I have neither of those things.
I can cook my own meals cheaper too, but I still would rather go to Outback.
Here is how I decided...
I priced out everything I wanted in a pc. Cost to build.
Then I searched cyberpower and like sites to see what they had comparable and compared the costs. For me it turned out better to buy a pre build because it came with the windows operating system already.

If you just look at specs and the bottom line price, it's easy to think "Why would anyone hassle to DIY".
But the fact is, it's not apples to apples.
Pre-builts you don't always get to say what each individual part is, and more importantly, ensure that each part is reliable and high quality. You get whatever is cheapest that week for the pre-build company.
Pre-builds can offer such low prices because they buy in bulk, and they buy the cheapest crap they can get away with. Sure, they may have some name brand stuff here and there (the stuff that catches people's eye), but not everything will be so. And for the custom-build sites, the baseline is always very cheap (with all inferior components), but to get the name brand stuff and make an apples to apples build, they charge a hefty premium.
The only time I advocate for pre-build is for someone who isn't computer saavy enough to take advantage of warranty support. A Pre-built with a single point warranty can be a lifesaver for someone who doesn't have the knowledge or access to any other forms of technical support. Most of the cut-rate pre-built sites (Cyberpower,etc) do not have very good single-point warranty, however, and it varies widely by company.

Alright, heres the deal with pre-builts from CyberPower and Ibuypower vs. Building your own.
Pre-Builts - Pre-builts try to save money to increase profit margine by going with a lot of substandard parts and mixing in a few quality or at least semi quality parts to make you think you are getting a good deal. Default psu's and such in these pre-builts are trash and can really cost you some cash later on down the road.
Another issue is CyberPower and Ibuypower ( They are actually owned by the same company ) are notorious for shipping DOA systems and really causing headaches for you with shipping back and forth trying to get the system up and running. Their forums used to be plauged by complaints until they started heavily moderating them.
If you go with more reputible pre-built companies you are going to be spending a good bit more than you would if you bought the parts and did the build yourself.
Building your own - The first benefit comes by doing your research. You get the best price on all premium parts and you know they are all compatible. You end up with the exact system you want within your budget, every last penny goes towards parts.
The second benefit here is that you know exactly what you have. It makes it a lot easier for you to diagnose issues and do repairs yourself. Each part you buy has a warranty as well instead of a general warranty on the pre-built PC that isn't always that great. In the end, it's easier and much cheaper to repair.
Lastly, pride... I know it sounds silly but there is a good bit of pride in building your own Gaming Rig or Work Station. It's yours, every last part, every last detail was chosen and done by you. When I have friends over and they marvel at all my PC's and ask "Hey, where did you get that one? How much did it cost? Can I order one?" I get to reply with a smirk "Oh that old thing? I built it myself. If you want one I can build you one".
All in all with a build your own you get a PC thats a better fit for your needs, better quality, better price, and pride.
Edited to Add: upgradability is another big difference between pre-builts and build your owns. Pre-builts aren't generally very upgrade friendly. You will usually have to replace so many parts to upgrade it's generally a better idea to buy another system all together or build your own. With a build your own system, with proper planning of course, upgrades require fewer purchases. With a decent power supply to start you may simply have to upgrade your GPU. With a good mother board choice you may only need to upgrade the CPU. This alone is generally worth it for many.

You probably get the same OS whether you build your own or buy a pre-built. Right now, there is some choice between Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows 8 Standard, but that's about it for gaming desktops.
PCI slots are very old, and video cards moved away from them way back in 1998. PCI Express is the modern standard for video cards, and nearly every modern desktop motherboard will have at least one. For desktop (as opposed to nettop) parts, you'll usually have a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot for Intel 7 series chipset motherboards, and a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot for anything else remotely recent.
Frame rates in games vary wildly from game to game, and also by which graphical settings you use. It's not a function of the API.
Pre-built desktops usually don't solder extra things to the motherboard unnecessarily. They may use substandard parts, but unless you get an extra small case, you can usually upgrade most things. The problem is that upgrading to get a few nice parts mixed in with a bunch of random junk is a bad idea, and when the time comes, replacement is likely to be a better option than upgrading.

It's not impossible to miss/admire a player that isn't your favorite and wanting your own fav player to surpass said player in the same context. If Nole was injured I'd certainly miss him too as a tennis fan and want him recover quickly and get back on court but that doesn't mean I won't be rooting for my own fav player if they met in the finals or before.
One thing I noticed and I can specify names is that many of these tards or haters spend more time hating said people, players instead of spending their time on their own section. If you hate Nadal, Djo, Murray, Fed or whatever player isn't it quite ironic, sad that the haters spent WAY more time on those players they hate ?
It's basically attention whoring -
An insecure person that is so emotionally unstable and needy, that they have to constantly be coddled and be the center of attention in any given situation. Or a person that is so insecure about their own intelligence and the above average intelligence of everyone in the room, that they constantly need to talk out of their ass about stupid random things that nobody cares about, constantly giving little factoids about the same subject(and the only one they know about) over and over and over and over again, as well as speaking in an overwhelmingly loud voice to overpower anyone else that cares to get a word in. All while being hilariously unaware that everyone in the room takes a deep sigh and rolls their eyes when this person starts to speak.
I just pity the tards who can't keep an open mind without prejudices, hate etc. who can't appreciate the sport for what it is instead like it for they want it to be.

Yep. That's better. Ya know, the more I look at it, the more I like it lol.
It's got powers...Whooooooo......
Hi guys,
I've seen your work and it is VERY good! I've been inquiring lately into how you guys make these awesome pics and i've started following the tutorials on this site and on other sites.
I've managed to make my first signature, but i edited it a little and ended up liking two final versions of it.
I would add them to my post, but for some reason i'm getting an exclamation mark next to them when i am trying to upload them. Any help?
Finally, if anyone has seen some good tutorials (i've seen the excellent ones on this site) could they please let me know via this thread or PM (i really like the tutorials that are images).
Thanks guys! I wish i could post my pics for some feedback...
You need a decent image host like ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting
You'll find beginner photoshop tuts on youtube.
So I can't just upload an image file straight from my PC?
I'll try using that site later tonight...
Ok i tried that site and i managed to upload my pics, thanks bmarlo! Although i don't know which link to copy paste into the box when it asks for an image URL (on this forum). Oh well, ill just post links for now, if you don't mind.
WARNING! I'm a massive noob at this, please dont be harsh
Ok, here goes...

Copy and paste the Direct link for your IMG's.
Okay, these are a good first attempt. You've used a c4d in the background
to give the IMG depth and some colour, which are very important in any tag.
As your tag(s) are all text, it makes it hard to get any effects happening,
but you'll learn that the more time you spend practicing, and honing your skills.
So all in all, good first attempt mate. Keep it up.
Thanks for the help w/ linking guys, i will try to post my first image in this post again to test it (then i will delete it).
@bmarlo thanks for those comments, i feel much more confident and better now
Again, thanks to both of you for replying and helping me out
EDIT: The image worked, thanks narse!
Hi - i'm back!
I played around with PhotoShop a bit more and managed to come up with this:
Any tips? I understand this is very basic (so it is hard to give feedback) but i am still just starting to get used to PhotoShop.
Might be putting this as my sig soon (its good to have a sig thats you made lol) but i have one question:
99% of the time i'm on WiiHacks i'm on my iPod - using the app. If i went on my PC and set an image as my sig, would it appear on messages i sent from my iPod?

NEW YORK - U.S. stocks are higher in morning trading, despite an increase in the number of new jobless claims.
The Labor Department reported Thursday that applications for unemployment benefits applications rose 6,000 last week, more than economists had forecast. The four-week average also rose for the third straight week to 382,000.
A measure of U.S. consumer prices fell in May by the most since December 2008 as gas costs dropped sharply. Outside food and energy, prices rose modestly.
The U.S. current account trade deficit widened in the first three months to the largest imbalance since late 2008, reflecting a big increase in imports in oil, cars and machinery and a drop in U.S. earnings on overseas investments.

That's the generic French term for bubbly. When it goes flat does it become ex-crémant?
Actually, it isn't a generic term. It is the process by which those particular wines are made bubbly. Not Methode Champenoise.
re: ChefJune
You're right that it's not the generic for bubbly; that'd be mousseux. However, it's also not a process. These days the term is used for high-quality sparkling wines made with the champagne (aka traditional) method in certain non-Champagne appellations: Crémant de Bourgogne, Crémant du Jura, etc. The permitted grape varieties and other rules differ from appellation to appellation, but the basic winemaking method doesn't. Perhaps you're confusing it with the Charmat (aka cuve close or tank) method?
re: carswell
The term can also refer to a sparkling with with lower PSI than most method champenoise wines.
re: Brad Ballinger
I believe that meaning has been generally if not officially superseded by the new meaning. Has any Champagne producer made a crémant since, say, the 1980s?
re: carswell
Launois makes a NV cremant labeled "Quartz." Used to be labeled "Sable," but I think there was some problem with that name.
re: Brad Ballinger
Yeahbut they don't actually dub it a crémant, do they? Can't seem to find the word on pics of the label. Several wine shop blurbs refer to it as "crémant style," though their listings refer to it only as a blanc de blancs.
Interestingly, the Quartz cuvée isn't mentioned on Launois's website. The Sable is, though; looks like it's the name of their 1997 vintage cuvée.
re: carswell
Right, the word Cremant may not appear on the label. I have three bottles of Quartz in my cellar. Purchased within the last three months. I'm positive Quartz replaced Sable. Also, the bottle shape is retro for the Quartz--big fat bottom portion, skinny skinny neck.
If you go to the K&L web site (www.klwines.com), it might still be in their inventory, and you'll find a picture.
re: carswell
Mumm makes a Crement style. Bottled at about 4 atmospheres, IIRC, in comparison to Champagne's normal 6 or 7. I love it. Haven't had it for about
four years. The magnum was one of the most unusually shaped wine bottles
I've ever seen -- it looked like a caveman's club.
E-A...I am confused. I thought Cramant was a village in Champagne, and cremant a style of Champagne.
Cremant now refers to bubbly made in areas outside Champagne. But does that bubbly have less pressure as well?
re: maria lorraine
According to my caviste, Crémant (we were talking about Crémant de Bourgogne, so this may not apply to all Crémants, but I think it does) needs to be made with the méthode traditionelle, and must have a pressure of 5-6 bars, just like Champagne.
re: maria lorraine
tmso's right. Most if not all Crémant de Bourgogne, Crémant du Jura, Crémant d'Alsace, etc. is 5-6 atmospheres.
My point above wasn't that the Champenois have stopped making the slightly less fizzy (2-3 atmopheres) style of Champagne but that, as far as I know, they've stopped referring to it as Crémant.
There is a Cramant just south of Épernay but, according to the Robert, *crémant* derives from the verb *crémer*, to cream or become creamy, as in a *mousse qui crème*.
re: maria lorraine
Cramant is a village in Champagne and it is not unusual for people to see that on a label and think it means "Cremant"...
re: carswell
Mumm used to make untill recently a wine labelled as Crémant de Cramant where Crémant indicated it had a lower pressure than usual Champagnes and Cramant is the village in Champagne where the grapes were grown. The wine is now labelled Mumm de Cramant.
The Champagne region gave up the usage of the word Crémant in a quid pro quo with other regions giving up the usage of the words 'methode champenoise') on their labels.
Crémant now indicates (in the EU) a wine made outside the Champagne region by the traditional method of secondary fermentation in the same bottle the wine is sold in.
I don't know the year when Champagne makes stopped using the term Crémant but I bought a Mumm Crémant de Cramant at the winery about 8 years ago.
re: Gussie Finknottle
Correct. There are actually 7 appellations (Alsace, Bordeaux, Bourgogne, Die, Jura, Limoux and Loire). They must comply with both French Crement regulations (eg hand harvest, bottle fermentation, whole bunch pressing) and AOC regulations concerning yield, transportation from vineyard to winery, permitted grapes etc..
re: carswell
For some weid reason, Blanquette de Limoux, which is a
sparkling wine preceding Champagne, is now called
Cremant de Limoux.
re: bclevy
Blanquette de Limoux still exists. It's required to be at least 90% Mauzac and can also contain Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc. Blanquette Méthode Ancestrale is 100% Mauzac and undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle but isn't disgorged.
Crémant de Limoux contains between 80% and 90% of a blend of Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc (20-40%), with Mauzac and/or Pinot Noir making up the remainder (the Pinot can't exceed 10%).
re: ChefJune
Chefjune it is not charmat a process it is cremant
"That's the generic French term for bubbly".
Well, not quite.
In fact, even the French don't seem to agree on a definition for the word.
Some examples:
1) Littré dictionary ( one of the most authoritative ):
"Vin de Champagne crémant, vin se couvrant d'une mousse légère et peu abondante"
[ A crémant wine from Champagne, wine with a light froth ]
2) mediadico on-line dictionary
"Se dit d'un vin de Champagne dont la mousse est légère."
[ similar to Littré above ]
3) dictionnaire.sensagent.com
"vin mousseux de Champagne ou d'Alsace"
[ bubbly wine from Champagne or Alsace
4) In fact, the most sensible definition seems to be in en.wikipedia:
"The French terms "Mousseux" or "Crémant" are used to refer to sparkling wine not made in the Champagne region"
5) The Grand Robert pretty much agrees with Littré:
Champagne crémant, ou, n. m., crémant : vin de Champagne à mousse légère (spécialement préparé à cet effet). | Boire une coupe de crémant.
Etymologically: 1846; p. prés. de 1. crémer [ present participle of the verb crémer ]
Verb "crémer" has 3 meanings:
a) burn
b) cover with creme
c) give the color of creme
I'd bet $0.01 c) is the correct answer in this case.
6) Larousse:
adjectif et nom masculin
(de crème)
■Se dit d'un vin de Champagne qui se couvre d'une mousse légère et peu abondante.
[ evidently, all the biggies just copy form each other ]
7) Contradicting what I just said above, here's a different one from CNRTL
XIXe siècle. Participe présent de crémer. ŒNOL.
★ I. Adj. m. Seulement dans l'expression Champagne crémant, vin de Champagne légèrement pétillant, à la mousse peu abondante.
★ II. N. m.
☆ 1. Champagne crémant. Boire une coupe de crémant.
☆ 2. Par ext. Vin mousseux élaboré selon la méthode champenoise, à faible pression. Un crémant de Loire, de Bourgogne.
[ By extension: a bubbly wine made by méthode champenoise under low pressure. ]
8) The French version of ENCARTA matches the OP's claim to perfection:
- vin blanc vinifié en mousseux
[ white wine vinified as bubbly
re: RicRios
What? The word "petillant" didn't appear in all that research? :o)
re: Brad Ballinger
See ★ I. above.

Intentional, structured religious education is one way to grow in faith, at any age. And we recognize that faith development happens outside of our faith communities, too—especially at home. We know that parents are their children's primary religious educators, not only through instruction they give, but also by the choices they make and the modeling of an attitude toward faith, meaning, and purpose that their lives offer children every day.
We support one another to discover and rediscover a seeking, active faith in the context of our family lives.
- Tapestry of Faith
By creating the first, ever online lifespan curricula for our congregations, the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) has ensured that seekers as well as members can engage in faith study at home. Each program includes stories, activities, worship, and social action ideas to nurture people of all ages in ethics, spirit, and faith. Parents can go online and read the Tapestry of Faith curriculum their children experience in religious education programs. Every session features Taking It Home and Find Out More sections to help you extend the session topics.
- Family Pages in UU World
The four-page, themed centerfold in UU World draws from stories, activities, and faith development guidance in Tapestry of Faith programs. These pages, edited by Susan Lawrence, offer inspiration and ideas to use at home—for parents to share with children, elders to share with grandchildren, and UUs and seekers of all ages to explore.

Baseball's Biondi and Crank named to All-Big Ten teams
On Tuesday, two Michigan baseball players were named to All-Big Ten teams — junior center-fielder Patrick Biondi and senior designated hitter Coley Crank.
Biondi was honored for the second-straight year on the All-Big Ten second team. He led the Wolverines with a .408 on-base percentage, 67 hits and 44 runs scored. This year's co-captain notched 32 stolen bases, leading the conference, but he remains just two shy of tying Eric Rose (2004-07) at 90. Biondi recorded 18 multi-hit games this season, including a near perfect 4-for-5 against Indiana Purdue Fort Wayne with a pair of runs, two RBIs and a walk.
Crank was place on the All-Big Ten third team after a season of offensive work at the plate. He tied for fifth in the conference with 45 RBIs this season and topped the Big Ten with 12 home runs, adding to his career 35 tallies that rank him third on Michigan's all-time list. Though the Pinole, Calif. native also played at catcher, it was his power swing that helped him climb to 153 RBIs and 43 doubles over the last four years.
Fifth year senior right-hander Kolby Wood earned Michigan's Sportsmanship Award for his contributions off the field. Though he missed most of his last two seasons, Wood remained a part of the team with strong moral support and acts of good citizenship.

A new student recruitment website based in Edinburgh has been launched amid a raft of criticism from unions and student leaders, who have described it as "immoral and exploitative".
Usefulstudents.com advertises jobs which students apply for based on a personal statement and, controversially, the wage they offer to work for.
This has attracted skepticism from the Scottish Trades Union Congress (STUC) and the National Union of Students (NUS), who have warned that the 'bidding' process may encourage students to offer low rates for work.
Liam Burns, president of NUS Scotland, told The Journal: "I'm pretty worried about the idea of an ebay for student work and I'm even more worried of how this website interacts with the minimum wage.
"The site is right to say that securing part-time work has become far more difficult over the past year, and some innovation in helping students to find work isn't necessarily a bad thing. I'm sure the intentions behind the site are good.
"Nonetheless, the idea that we should be pitting students off against each other to see who can be taken advantage of the most is pretty awful."
Employers state a maximum price they are willing to pay, and then applicants are asked to state what they would be willing to work for equal to or lower than this maximum.
Evan Beswick, vice president academic affairs at Edinburgh University Students' Association, echoed Mr Burns concerns: "Usefulstudents.com is a website which encourages students to 'outbid' each other for jobs. Essentially, whoever is prepared—or has the parental support—to work for the lowest wage gets the job.
"It's elitist, immoral and exploitative."
The service was founded by two graduates of Edinburgh University, to offer student specific job opportunities which they describe as "hardly catered for".
Co-founder Andrew Howes has defended the site, saying whilst value for money would be a key element of decisions made by employers, the lowest quoted price would not necessarily lead to employment.
"The site offers students a convenient, user friendly way to apply for one off or part time jobs which allow easy access to extra money whilst at university," said Mr Howes.
"The job provider can make an informed decision based on the combination of the quote, the students experience and the previous feedback the student has been given."
Students registering on the site are asked to provide a photo and personal statement before being able to apply for advertised positions. They are then asked to 'bid' for jobs and provide brief explanations of why they would be suitable.
It offers both paid employment and work placements. Amongst those bodies currently offering positions are nightclub Electric Circus (up to £20 per hour) and The Edinburgh International Science Festival (unpaid work placements).
The STUC has also warned that the casual nature of some employment offers will mean that students are not given the normal rights given to part-time employees.
Ian Tasker, STUC assistant secretary told The Journal: "While appreciating that casual employment maybe attractive to working students having to sell their labour in what amounts to nothing more than a web based slave market, this is astonishing in the 21st century.
"These workers will not have protection offered by permanent part-time employment including the duty every employer has to provide a contract of employment and ensure that their workers are insured against injury through Employers Liability Compulsory Insurance.
"Students seeking employment in this way should be very wary of taking employment in the black economy as they will have little or no legal comeback if things go wrong."

Buried deep in the depths and crevices of many mega-cities, a
petite parasite lurks undetected.
Hitch-hiking from luggage to bedding, hotel rooms to homes, bed bugs
were once a domestic nuisance of the past, but the tiny bugs are
making a comeback in large metropolitans and towns.
Some say Atlanta and even Gwinnett have fallen victim to the
unexpectedly transient insects.
Achoo Allergy and Air Products, an Atlanta-based company focused on
helping you deter allergies, reveals more and more investigations
into bed bug breakouts have begun and are traced to hotspots of
international travel, such as New York, Los Angeles, and, yes,
Taking up residence mostly in the place from which they get their
name, bed bugs have no wings and, therefore, temporarily fasten
themselves to luggage and animals and can be found in hotels,
bedrooms, dorm rooms and apartments.
Contrary to some beliefs, the bugs aren't synonymous with dirty,
unkept confines, said Cade McDonald, Achoo Allergy spokesman. But, he
said, vacuuming often and keeping rooms clutter free can help
prevent the bugs from taking up residence.
"The key to preventing bed bug infestation is to keep bugs out of
your bedroom in the first place," McDonald said. "Keep the bedroom
clean and free of clutter. Vacuum frequently. Be on the lookout for
signs of bed bugs when traveling, and try to avoid them."
Deter and detect
Needing blood to live, the only thing the bothersome insects need to
survive is you - or another blood-producing host.
Similar to a flee or mosquito, bed bugs bite at the skin, leaving
behind an itchy welt and localized swelling.
Fortunately, bed bugs do not spread diseases, according to research
released by the Harvard School of Public School (www.hsph.harvard.edu/bedbugs)
but are still bothersome to many and often a nuisance to get rid of.
McDonald said one sign of the bugs is the dot-like, red fecal matter
they can leave behind on sheets and bedding. He said buying a
mattress cover can help keep the bugs at bay.
"Typically, people who call us already have a problem with bed bugs,
and they're looking for a new mattress, a mattress cover and some
advice," McDonald said. "In every case that we've heard about, the
mattresses were thrown out after an infestation."
McDonald adds that bed bugs are rather large compared to some other
household insects like dust mites. But he said having a specially
made mattress will not prevent an infestation.
"Bed bugs are looking for a warm body; they don't care what you're
sleeping on," McDonald said. "And even if they can't get inside the
mattress itself, they can find other hiding places in the bedroom."
The most affective way to eliminate the bugs, which can reach about
1⁄4 of an inch in size, is through professional extermination and
throwing away infected bedding.

Differences in setting up a Dental practise in the UK and US
by Vanessa, Window Shopper
- Created: April 18, 2011, 2:15 pm
Hi there,
I'm very interested in learning more about the differences between setting up a dental practise in the US and UK. At the moment I studying to become a dental hygienist and my husband is a dentist. We were both wondering what some of the primary differences were and how the procedure needed to set up a practise in the US.Any feedback would be fantastic.
ngoriel | Community Moderator | 4/22/2011 - 6:53 pm
Hi Vanessa, Check out our guide to understanding the laws and regulations that apply to health care businesses and the health care industry at http://www.sba.gov/content/health-care . As for starting up a business in the US, foreign business entities are incorporated at the state level in the US. The process will vary from state-to-state, but generally involves two steps: applying to register in that particular state and establishing a registered agent with a valid address in that state (no PO Box numbers). A registered agent can be either the business owner or another person who is authorized to receive legal papers on behalf of the business, such as an attorney or secretary. The rest of the steps to starting up are similar to those that an American citizen would take. The breakdown of 10 Steps to Starting a Business at http://www.sba.gov/content/follow-these-steps-starting-business includes information on naming your business, requirement licenses and permits, and tax matters.

Read Poems by
Randy Johnson
I was ordered to travel to Mars.
I enjoy traveling among the stars.
When some people on Mars tried to open a gateway to Earth, they accidentally opened a gateway to Hell.
Many demons came through the gateway and many soldiers tried to stop them but they were bound to fail.
The demons killed the humans and turned them into zombies.
Now I have to kill them all before they get the chance to kill me.
I have to kill Imps, Cacodemons, Spiderdemons and Barons of Hell.
Sometimes I also come across Cyberdemons and I kill them as well.
When I come across a locked door, I have to find a key to unlock it.
A Cyberdemon is chasing me and it's trying to kill me by firing rockets.
I just used my rocket launcher to turn it into goo.
Every demon and zombie will be dead when I'm through.
A shotgun, plasma gun, chainsaw and other weapons are what I have to find.
I hope the demons don't somehow get to Earth or it will be the end of mankind.
By some miracle I've destroyed all of the demons and the zombies as well.
I was able to complete my mission and I thank God that I didn't fail.

Kanbar Institute of Film & Television
Spike Lee*
3rd Year - Master Series: Directing Strategies
Morehouse College, BA; New York University, MFA
BiographySPIKE LEE is a writer-director, actor, producer and author who revolutionized the role of Black talent in cinema. Widely regarded as a premier African-American filmmaker, Lee is a forerunner in the 'do it your self' school of independent film. Mr. Lee's current film production, Miracle at St. Anna, shot on location with the beautiful Italian back country as its setting, was based on the book Miracle at St. Anna, written by author James McBride. Lee continues to create cinematic works of art he is well know for. When the Levees Broke, Mr. Lee's most recently critically acclaimed film, was a huge success receiving awards from film festivals world wide. Other critical and box office successes have included such films as Inside Man, 25th Hour, The Original Kings of Comedy, Bamboozled and Summer of Sam. Lee's films Girl 6, Get On the Bus, Do the Right Thing and Clockers display his ability to showcase a series of outspoken and provocative socio-political critiques that challenge cultural assumptions, not only about race, but also class and gender identity.
His debut film, the independently produced comedy She's Gotta Have It, earned him the Prix de Jeunesse Award at the Cannes Film festival in 1986 and set him at the forefront of the Black New Wave in American Cinema. His second feature, the very profitable School Daze, helped to launch the careers of several young Black actors. Lee's timely 1989 film, Do the Right Thing, garnered an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay and Best Film and Director awards from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association. Lee's Jungle Fever, Mo' Better Blues, Clockers, and Crooklyn were also critically well received. His epic drama Malcolm X, starring Denzel Washington, received two Academy Award nominations.
Born in Atlanta, Georgia, and raised in Brooklyn, Lee returned south to attend Morehouse College. After graduation, he returned to Brooklyn to continue his education at New York University's Tisch School of Arts in Manhattan, where he received his Master of Fine Arts Degree in film production. He founded 40 Acres and a Mule Filmworks, based in the Fort Greene section of Brooklyn, where he has resided since childhood.
In addition to his film achievements, Lee has produced and directed numerous music videos for diverse artists including Chaka Khan, Tracy Chapman, Anita Baker, Public Enemy, Bruce Hornsby and Michael Jackson. His other music videos include work for the late Miles Davis and
Phyliss Hyman, Naughty by Nature and Arrested Development.
Lee's commercial work began in 1988 with his Nike Air Jordan campaign. Collaborating with basketball great Michael Jordan on several commercials, Lee resurrected his popular character, Mars Blackmon from She's Gotta Have It. He has also completed a PSA for UNCF called "Two Michaels," which also features Michael Jordan. Lee is also well known for his Levi's Button-Fly 501, AT&T and ESPN television commercials. His other commercial ventures include TV spots for Philips, Nike, American Express, Snapple and Taco Bell. Lee has also directed several Art Spot Shorts for MTV and a short film featuring Branford Marsalis and Diahnne Abbott for Saturday Night Live.
Lee is also involved in documentaries and sports programs. He completed the Emmy- and Oscar-nominated documentary 4 Little Girls for HBO and received an Emmy Award for his piece on Georgetown's John Thompson for HBO/Real Sports.
Additionally, Lee has authored seven books on the making of his films. The fifth book, Five For Five, served as a pictorial reflection of his first five features. He then followed up with Best Seat in the House, authored with Ralph Wiley. Lee and his wife Tonya Lewis Lee co-authored two children's books entitled Please, Baby, Please and Please, Puppy, Please. In 2005, he authored a retrospective book about his film career entitled That's My Story and I'm Sticking To It.
Ever moving into new areas, Spike Lee has combined his extensive creative experience into yet another venture: partnering with DDB Needham, he created Spike/DDB, a full-service advertising agency.

Busty chick films herself naked
Ready for an extreme episode here on Obsessed with Myself? I have this steamy video of an extremely hot babe with a wonderland for a body and all she ever wanted was to show us how irresistible she is, which came out quite successful based from the screenies you're seeing right now. She's a heavy-chested slut with sultry features and an obviously strong personality. This amateur girlfriend visits ObsessedwithMyself.com often and this gave her the idea of exposing herself to show off her assets. I like those huge breasts and how they bounce with every move that she makes. Sometimes it is annoying when you're all horny while watching hot babes like this one and ready to jack off then all of a sudden the background music starts to play and it's some fucked up music that you absolutely despise. Not that I hated this video on a certain level, which is unlikely, coz this hot sexy Latina fuck will distract you from everything else. Those big tits alone will make your dick throb like hell, you'd want to shoot your cum inside a shot glass and make her juicy lips drink it all up. Some idea, yeah, and I've watched that from a dude's private collection of cumshot clips. Not bad, actually, and this hottie is making me want to titty-fuck her so fucking bad. Watch her hotness now so you can imagine yourself fucking this bitch silly too.
Busty bitch sucks a woody
One evening in the flat of this horny slut, she invited her boyfriend over to have some fun. They decided to make a video where they could show everyone else just how they're into each other, sexually, and so OralGirlfriends.com brings to you this steamy hot masterpiece of theirs. Our busty cocksucking babe right here wanted to go all the way with the props, and it includes sucking a woody while naked on her bed. I mean, chicks can suck a cock anywhere even under layers of clothing and still be fucking good at it but I think this particular girlfriend wanted to do more than just lick and suck a dick. Well, in this video though, we'll get horny and hard as we enjoy watching this amateur bitch give her lucky BF a fucking awesome blowjob. Surprisingly, they've managed to keep the camera still while in the verge of total frenzy from a serious cum explosion. If you've watched other blowjob videos here on Oral Girlfriends, you'll get nauseated from the excessive movements caused by a trembling dude with a throbbing cock. I guess this chick's boyfriend practiced long and hard before coming up with this almost perfect angle and balance. This horny bitch enjoyed sucking her BF's boner. They both agreed that since they had so much fun recording this video, that they will eventually make some more and share those with us too. Watch all the video clips now and let's hope to catch them again soon.
Drunk babes doing crazy things
I haven't met any babe who didn't go gaga after a few shots that almost got them high from too much fucking. Trashed Girlfriends is an avid witness to parties where bitches get so fucking trashed that they wouldn't mind getting banged by whoever. Plus, these sluts will only realize how crazy they've been once they see photos of themselves from the previous night, doing all sorts of unimaginable crazy things that they can never do when they're sober. Sounds absolutely fucking fun, eh? You can see what I mean based from our photo collection right here. These are just some of those pictures that you'll be seeing. The ones that clearly show what bad and funny effect booze has on smashed chicks. I don't know about you but even if these hotties would make a fool out of themselves, making faces, posing like retards, I still find them so fucking hot. Besides, once you grab them and start fondling their twats, squeeze their tits, and fuck their love holes, they will just let you do whatever you want with them without struggling a bit. And since most of these chicks are too fucked up, they won't remember a thing when they woke up and won't recall how you suck trying to make them feel how big your dick was. Click on TrashedGirlfriends.com to find more of these smashing hot and trashed girls.
Wild chick sucks a boner on a weekend
We got a new steamy episode here on WatchMyGF.com, bringing you this picture collection of a hot pair who had a wild weekend eating each other up. Well, though we'll be showing you just the cocksucking bitch who seem to enjoy it more, sucking on her boyfriend's cock, this episode is still going to make you scream, moan, and squirm with extreme pleasure. I bet this horny babe did scream, squirm, and moan too since her boyfriend's got a huge dick to please her with. That boner's so big, I can only imagine how it fits this slutty chick's pussy. She doesn't seem to mind sucking the large shaft, which makes a lot of bitches gag, so I guess she can take it in her tight twat without much difficulty either. Not that it won't hurt but you know what they say, which I think is this bitch's motto too — no pain, no gain. But based from these photos, and the size of the woody that this chick has to endure, you can't see any sign that she'd be bailing out and asking for help any time soon.
Though the dick looks like it's already half the size of this girl's face, I guess it's one of the reasons why this getaway is one of the hottest I've seen here on Watch My GF coz it's a given that this much meat can fill this little rabbit's hole with ease. Hmm… I think I won't have a tough time convincing this chick to lick and suck my boner too coz the size of my pet's just as huge as the one she's used to. And I'm looking forward to fucking her pussy and see how she'll manage another cock this big. Check out all their pictures and enjoy every bit of mind-blowing blowjob still to help you explode tons of cum on that computer screen.
Girlfriends display their fine racks
I browsed through a whole lot of porn magazines since the day that I found, for the first time, that my dick's growing pubic hairs already. Yeah, of course, it only means one thing: it's time to fuck around. One of the things that caught my attention early on were babes with their almost surreal pair of breasts, which almost always appear to be a size (or two) too big for their bikini tops. I'm saying surreal because although these bitches do have the real thing, some actually look like they got some serious boob job done on them coz boobies this large were rare during those times — the real ones at that. And today, I will show you these hot photos of sexy GFs with the same delicious assets that I've been drooling over for years now. I never thought that I'll be working for an awesome site like GFMelons.com and it may sound fucking gay but it's like a fucking dream come true. Ha! Now I don't have to buy those photoshopped magazines and all I have to do is feast on hundreds of pictures of big-tittied chicks, choose whoever I want to feature and share their stories to you. Our amateur set for today is as hot as ever and I'm guessing that this site will just keep getting better with every episode. It's neat that I get to spend my time on GF Melons for as long as I want each day but regrets will come later when I got no energy left from jacking off too much. Visit here to view more of our busty babes who want nothing but to expose themselves and their breasts to all of you. Enjoy!

But of course she will just show us the ones where she thinks she looks fucking awesome while she plays with herself using her vibrator or dildo, whichever's available. And sometimes, this sexy girlfriend would improvise and use her fingers to fill her hole and bang away 'til she screams in pleasure and cums. In this video, she's naked in her bedroom and with just her video camera and large dildo for company. She may be an amateur but she'll show you far more than what an amateur horny teen could do.

Exploding jizz on her cunt
You're back for another steamy episode here on Jizz on My GF. I know there'll be a lot of you who'd drool over this babe who got her nice twat cummed on. In this video, the horny girlfriend got into a hot and wild fucking session with her neighbor and since this dude have been fantasizing about this bitch for quite sometime now, he just can't deny the fact that the amount of jizz he poured onto her is the result of all those restless nights that he's been jacking off to her photo. Though both of them were oblivious of each others existence when they were still kids, I think the years they wasted talking to their bedroom walls instead of exploring themselves sexually have been given justice now coz they spend most of their spare time fucking each other. JizzonMyGF.com placed a 5-star rating on this hot video and it's not just myself being biased and shit coz this video is simply deserving of your attention, energy, and truckloads of cum. I'd like to try and taste this wild chick's tight pussy and feed her my hot jizz too. I've watched this video for like the fourth time now and it feels like watching it for the first time with each hit of the play button. I just can't get enough of this hot cum explosion and I'd always imagine myself giving this bitch my own bucket of sticky jizz. Yeah, I bet she'd love that. Check out the full video here now.
Sexy Latina fingerfucks infront of the mirror
The thing that I love about Latina chicks is that they are very confident about their bodies. They know very well that men loves to see a hot latina with a sensual face and a smokin body and for sure that will give us a rock hard boner. This chick from Me And My Latina loves seeing herself while she fucks her juicy beaver with her fingers. She enjoys looking at herself doing fuck faces in the mirror and it turns her on. But I mean lets be serious here. Who wouldnt get their temperature rising from this visual?
In this video seen at MeAndMyLatina.com, this spankin hot Latina with a beautiful face spreads her legs wide in front of the mirror before putting her fingers in her already wet and juicy twat while wriggling it inside her pussy walls. See her find her g-spot easily while she squirms and breathes heavily as if reaching her orgasm. This nude Latina mamacitas motions are turning me on but its a shame shes doing all that by herself. Dont be shy. I know that like me, youre dying to give her a hand–or maybe a juicy rigid rod to go with it. Click HERE for more hot latina chicks in dirty action!

These chicks will take it any way and with almost anything. They like anal sex just as much as they want getting fucked the typical way — banged in their twats. You can see in these pictures just how versatile their tastes are when it comes to choosing what things to stuff their asses with. Some babes would use their fingers, some would like their boyfriends to do the drilling for them using their cocks, and some chicks would go as far as insert whatever inanimate object that can possibly fit in those holes just to please themselves.

Secretary Cohen Press Conference at Le Royal Meridien Hotel, Manama, Bahrain
Secretary Cohen: I am happy to return to Bahrain and to have the opportunity to discuss our strong bilateral relationship and the regional issues with Shaikh Hamad, and I recall the very sad day in March during my last visit when Shaikh Isa died. That's a day that has stayed with me and will stay with me forever. My visit to Bahrain and other countries in the Gulf underscores the long term commitment of the United States to peace and stability in the region and close relations between Bahrain and the United States. We had occasion to discuss the full range of regional issues including Iran, Iraq and the Middle East Peace Process. I appreciate Bahrain's co-sponsorship of the U.K.- Dutch Resolution before the United Nations Security Council.
We stand firm together in our determination that Iraq must comply with its international obligations. The Resolution will also allow increases under the Oil for Food Program, to meet humanitarian needs of the Iraqi people. Recent UNICEF studies show that Saddam manipulates the program and is not interested in the welfare of his people. Bahrain continues to support our efforts to keep Iraq contained. Saddam continues to threaten coalition forces enforcing no-fly zones, trying to create divisions within a coalition, and it simply is not going to work. In fact we continue to broaden our cooperation, Bahrain and other GCC states, in what we call the Cooperative Defense Initiative against weapons of mass destruction - shared early warning programs, development of active and passive defenses to deal with these emerging threats as well dealing with the potential consequences of a chemical/biological attack. This combined planning enables Bahrain and the United States to stand together to confront the threat to regional security posed by Iran, Iraq and the spread of weapons of mass destruction.
With that let me take your questions, gentlemen.
Q: General Musharraf of Pakistan today made a speech announcing the withdrawal of troops from the Indo-Pakistani border and also making some vague pledges of restoring democracy there. Are you satisfied that they are now on the right track and if not, what concrete steps would you look for them to make in the short term?
Secretary Cohen: Well we were encouraged by the tone that the General set during the course of his speech, indicating that he wants to seek reductions of tensions with India, and that we certainly support. We would hope that there could be reductions in tensions on the Line of Control. We would hope that sooner and much sooner than later, that there would be a fulfillment of the pledge to return to a democratic rule. That was, as you said, somewhat vague in terms of the time line and we would hope that that could become much clearer, much sooner. But we were encouraged at least, by the tone that was set during the course of today's speech. We still regret very much that the military has taken over control in Pakistan, but it is our hope that he will fulfill his pledges as quickly as possible.
Q: Can you tell us what progress there has been on cooperation with the GCC states on the missile defense system?
Secretary Cohen: The kind of cooperation that we are now pursuing with the GCC states is to have a shared early warning system that can be set up so that we can share information pertaining to any early warning activities that will alert us and others to preparation for any kind of a missile attack. We want to share information that we are developing certainly how to protect our troops, how to protect our forces against any kind of a chemical or a biological attack; that we would have active defenses as well, that we would hope to develop against such an attack, and that we want to share information pertaining to what we call consequence management.
We have a very vigorous program underway in the United States to try and prepare roughly a hundred and fifty cities in America to anticipate what would need to be done on their part should they ever experience a chemical or biological attack. How do you train the local police, the firemen, those who are what we call the first responders, to identify what the chemical or biological agent is or was; how to protect themselves against that agent; what sort of measures are necessary to protect the people who have been injured, where do they take them, to which hospitals; how are the hospital personnel trained. So we are going through a fairly vigorous program to bring this information that we have at the Federal level to now share that with local communities who will be the ones who will be required to respond under our Constitutional system.
Response for any type of attack on our domestic soil as such, belongs to the local government officials, from the mayors all the way up through the governors and of course the military which stand to provide some kind of support should they be called upon to do so either by the presence certainly, if the governors request additional assistance. We recently created a joint task force for civil support - a group of about twenty-five or thirty military officers who were NCOs, who will be working to try to prepare for these contingencies in a way of support for intelligence transportation logistics or other types of things - so we hope to share that kind of information because we believe that in the coming years, should there be an attack, it could very likely involve chemical or biological agents. We have been very gratified with the receptivity on the part of Bahrain which has been very interested in working on this issue of increasing defense cooperation. Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and we hope all of the Gulf states will join in.
Q: Was there any discussion in your meetings today, about potential troop movements in the area, moving U.S. troops?
Secretary Cohen: No, there were no discussions pertaining to that. As I have indicated, we intend to keep approximately the same number of troops that we currently we have in the region, indefinitely. There may be some minor adjustments in terms of allocation of troops, but that's just to help make sure that each country can bear an equitable share of the responsibility, but we intend to keep the same in the region. Contrary to what I am told are press rumors and reports, that there is going to be any significant reduction in the force levels for the Gulf area. That's not true.
Q: Do you still consider Iran as a potential threat to the area?
Secretary Cohen: I think Iran, because of its military buildup, because it seeks to acquire, continues to seek to acquire weapons of mass destruction, that it continues to certainly question if not undermine the peace process, as it continues to support external activities against other nations in the form of terrorism -- that it can pose a threat. We have been encouraged, I must say with President Khatami's attempt to modernize Iran, to appeal to a younger group of people who want to see changes in Iran, and we have indicated we would like to establish a better relationship with Iran. We have made several overtures to indicate that we would like to see that relationship become normalized, but only if they meet the preconditions - no more terrorism, support for terrorism, stop undermining the Middle East Peace Process and stop trying to acquire weapons of mass destruction. We have not seen any evidence of movement in those three areas.
Q: Mr. Secretary, it appears that the transition here in Bahrain has gone very well. Can you discuss a little bit how you found the new Amir? And in that context, a few years back there was some domestic turmoil here in Bahrain and at the time there were reports that Iranians may have been involved in that. Is that also part of the threat environment that you are looking at and do you have any lingering concerns about that here in Bahrain? Force protection and other questions like that?
Secretary Cohen: Well, we are very, very happy with our relationship with Bahrain. Certainly our navy has been here more than 50 years. It is 51 years. As the Ambassador correctly pointed out, we have had a much longer relationship than that historically. We think it is one of our strongest relationships anywhere and we are very pleased with Shaikh Hamad. He had taken over in a time of great national stress when I was here last March, but he is the son of his father and he falls from the same tree. He has a very engaging personality certainly, but he has a strong commitment to security, strong commitment to the United States in working with us and we are completely satisfied that he has managed this transition which came about so abruptly in a truly outstanding fashion. So we think that our relationship can only get stronger in the future and it is as good as we could ask for, and at this time we hope to make it better. So we are very happy with him and I have known him certainly in my prior visits even when travelling as a Senator. I have an enormous amount of respect for him and I think he is going to lead Bahrain to much greater things in the future.
Q: Iraq has been waging a propaganda war to get the sanctions lifted and it has had some success. The U.S. Catholic Council of Bishops, for example, has called for the sanctions to be lifted. How does the United States counter this?
Secretary Cohen: I think we have to continue to point out to all, certainly in the region, but to all the world over that Iraq, yes they have been waging a successful propaganda campaign and we should see it for precisely what it is: propaganda. They have shut down the ability of international inspectors to carry out their obligations under the UN Security Council resolutions, so there are no more inspections taking place and now what they are seeking to do is to lift the sanctions so there will be absolutely no requirement on Iraq to do that which it was required to do at the end of the Gulf War. This is simply unacceptable and what we have to do is to point out that if the Iraqi people are suffering - and some are - they are suffering because of what Saddam Hussein is doing.
That is the reason why I mentioned the UNICEF report. The UNICEF report points out that there is certainly less suffering on the part of the Iraqi people up North where Saddam has less control than there is in the South, where he does in fact manipulate how many of the supplies and millions of dollars of supplies, two to three hundred million dollars of supplies, that he has stored in warehouses of medicine, foods and clothing -- that he refuses to allow to be distributed to his own people.
So yes he wages a campaign, a propaganda effort. What we have to do is to point out, and we can show the documentation from UNICEF, we can show our own report that has been produced to show exactly what he has done in the past and what he is doing today. If the Gulf states allow that to be manipulated in his favor they will certainly face a Saddam who will have no restraint upon his weapons of mass destruction program, no restraint upon his missile production program, no inspectors, no control, with revenues flowing back into his military. That is simply unacceptable, so we intend to continue to push and support the U.K.-Dutch proposal, which we are pleased to see that Bahrain supports also, and to remind people exactly who Saddam is and what he has done in the past, and what he is capable of doing in the future.
Q: Who pays the cost of U.S. troops in the Gulf? And how much?
Secretary Cohen: Who paid the cost of my trips?
Q: No...no...no. U.S. troops.
Secretary Cohen: U.S. troops. We bear most of the cost of U.S. troops. We do have individual relationships with individual countries in terms of either housing, host nation type of support, but ultimately we pay the vast share of our support in the region: our ships, our personnel, our activities here have to be supported by the U.S. taxpayers. We do have contributions coming from individual countries and it depends upon which country providing what kind of support and service.
(Thank you very much).

Mary took a pound of costly perfume made of pure nard, anointed Jesus' feet, and wiped them with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. John 12:3
When I was young, I used to hear this story and wonder what Mary's hair must have looked like during dinner, all matted with a pound of nard and the dirt from Jesus' feet. After all, it's not like she could run out and take a shower before the hors d'oeuvre. On the other hand, she and Jesus must have sure smelled pretty.
That's the problem with taking sacred texts literally. So let's accept it as a metaphor. When we live our lives from the perspective of faith, our understanding of the value of things is dramatically changed.
Relationships matter. Material things don't.
Food and security and equality matter. Expensive perfume is nothing more than common soap.
The Message of the Christ turns our understanding of "value" on its head.
