Flirt! – Squeeze Me Super Shiny Lipgloss Review
Flirt! Squeeze Me Super Shiny Lipgloss ($10.00) is exactly what it says–a super shiny lipgloss–without stickiness. The colors I tested were fairly sheer, so you get more like a subtle hint of color with lots of shimmery shine. If you've ever wanted ultra glossy lips, this is a great solution. They have a good range of colors, so it makes it easy to find a few that would work for you. Personally, I found the tube size to be a little small for the price of a non-high end brand. On the flip side, the small size makes it perfect for traveling and tossing in purses. I do wish they were more pigmented, as that's my general preference, but I know a lot of people like sheer glosses.
Discussion and debate are highly encouraged, and we expect community members to participate respectfully.

27-7 Overall, 11-3 in SEC (2nd)
Final Rankings: No. 14 (AP), No. 13 (ESPN/USA Today)
Landers, Lady Bulldogs enjoy milestone-filled 2006-07 season
The 2006-07 edition of Lady Bulldogs supplied a season filled with achievements both on the individual and team levels.
Team-wise, Georgia secured its 23rd 20-win season and 16th 25-victory campaign during head coach Andy Landers' stellar 28-year tenure with the Lady Bulldogs. UGA once again spent the entire season ranked among the nation's top-25 teams. In fact, Georgia has now been included in the Associated Press' poll during 90 percent of the weekly rankings released since women's basketball became under the auspices of the NCAA prior to the 1981-82 season.
Landers notched four significant achievements within the 2006-07 season.
During the opener against Rutgers on Nov. 12 it was announced that he has been elected to be inducted into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame this June;
With a Dec. 3 win over Georgia Tech, he became the winningest college basketball coach in the state of Georgia's history;
With a Dec. 21 victory at Richmond, he became just the fourth major college women's basketball coach to record 750 career victories; and
Georgia's NCAA Tournament first-round date with Belmont represented his 1,000th game coached.
A March Madness mainstay
Georgia earned its 13th consecutive NCAA Tournament bid and advanced to the "Sweet 16" for the 17th time during Andy Landers' tenure in Athens. Overall, the Lady Dogs have reached 24 of 26 NCAA Tourneys.
What would be landmark achievements for any athletic program have become virtual commonplace for the Lady Dogs. Since the 1994-95 season when the NCAA streak began, the Lady Dogs have accomplished more than most women's basketball teams have to their credit as a whole, including:
10 "Sweet 16s" (1995-96-97-99-2000-03-04-05-06-07);
Six "Elite Eights" (1995-96-97-99-2000-04);
Three Final Fours (1995-96-99);
Finishing as 1996 NCAA runner-up;
Compiling a 31-13 (.705) record in NCAA Tournament games.
Humphrey tops balanced attack
Junior Tasha Humphrey was the Lady Bulldogs' leading scorer and rebounder for the third consecutive season, headlining a deep and talented squad. All told, seven Lady Bulldogs averaged 7.4 points per game or better in 2006-07.
Freshman class makes history
Ashley Houts, Christy Marshall and Angel Robinson became the 58th, 59th and 60th freshmen to earn a starting spot for the Lady Bulldogs during Andy Landers' 28 seasons in Athens. Houts also became the 20th first-year phenom among the aforementioned list to get the nod for their collegiate debut. That trio made the most of the opportunities presented to them.
Houts earned Freshman All-America and SEC Freshman of the Year accolades. Houts, Marshall and Robinson earned Freshman All-SEC status, the first trio of teammates to accomplish that feat. They also combined to secure SEC Freshman of the Week honors eight of the 16 times that accolade was awarded during the season.
Chambers' record-setting finale
Cori Chambers wrapped up her career as UGA's most prolific three-point threat. Chambers broke the Lady Bulldog season records with 85 threes made on 228 shots from behind the arc. In the process, she set Georgia career records of 282 three-pointers on 742 attempts, tallies which also rank No. 3 and No. 7, respectively, in SEC history.

By Mr. Mark Edwards, HRC Public Affairs
FORT KNOX, Ky. -- Beginning Oct. 1, the Army Officer Evaluation Report Form (DA Form 67-9) policy changes to better align with current Army leadership doctrine and more accurately evaluate performance and potential of Army officers, and increase accountability and better inform a transparent Talent Management process.
The OER enhancement and changes apply to all OERs with a ―thru‖ date of Nov. 1, 2011 and later. The changes include: reinstating senior rater box check for company grade officers, senior rater successive assignments recommendations, incorporating a statement on the OER if the rated officer has completed or initiated a Multi-Source Assessment and Feedback/360 (MSAF) within the last three years, and a reduction in short-term evaluations. Additionally, the OER support form will be optional.
Specific modifications for each of these enhancements and changes are:
Senior Rater box check - The senior rater box check is reinstated for company grade officers (Warrant officer, Chief warrant officer two, second lieutenant, first lieutenant , and captain) indicating rated officer's potential. Senior raters will now complete part VII(b) of the DA Form 67-9 for rated officers in grades second lieutenant through brigadier general and Warrant officer through Chief warrant officer four.
Senior Rater successive assignments - Senior raters will be required to indicate three successive assignments, instead of three future assignments for the rated officer. The Senior Rater should look three to five years in the future, and list the next three succeeding positions appropriate to the rated officer's grade and career path.
Multi-Source Assessment and Feedback/360 (MSAF) - The rater will include a comment that the rated officer has completed or initiated a 360/Multi-Source Assessment Feedback within the last three years. The new OER form will eventually have a yes/no box check for 360 completion. The MSAF provides input from peers, superiors and subordinates which will help the rated officer develop as a self-aware and adaptable leader. Officers can access the ―360 Assessment‖ at https://msaf.army.mil. Results of the feedback will still remain confidential and only be available to the rated officer and used for self development not evaluative purposes. The purpose of the rater's check on 360 assessment is to help ensure that leaders are encouraging subordinate development and that rated officers are benefitting from available leader development programs.
Short-Term evaluation reduction - The new policy reduces multiple short-term evaluations, particularly in deployed situations, by permitting officers who change Raters, but continue to perform the same duties under the same Senior Rater, to receive a memorandum of input from their departing Rater rather than a Change of Rater evaluation. The memorandum of input is intended to be used by the Rater of record when they complete the final OER. This is at the senior rater's discretion.
The Army anticipates more changes as they continue to develop the current evaluation forms to ensure they reflect current doctrine, increase Rater accountability, further stratify the Senior Rater profile technique for officer evaluation reports, and include an interactive leader development tool.
More information, including senior rater profile management training packets, MILPER message and Frequently Asked Questions go to www.hrc.army.mil/evaluations.
HRC can be reached at 1-888-ARMYHRC (276-9472) or email email@example.com. For questions pertaining to the MSAF, contact U.S. Army Command and General Staff College Public Affairs at 913-684-3097 / 913-306-6736 or firstname.lastname@example.com

In the Historic District, with plenty of beautiful outdoor spaces, historic buildings, and lively bars
Savannah's Historic District is home to plenty of restaurants and bars, most within a short walking distance from the hotel. The famous Forsyth Park is just a 10-minute walk south, and other outdoor spaces can be found just minutes from the front door.
The surrounding area has that old Southern charm, with numerous stunning historic buildings. The nightlife isn't as lively as other big cities in the South but most of Savannah's bars (like infamous Pinkie Master's) are in the historic district -- mostly thanks to the young crowd from the Savannah College of Art and Design.
The Historic District is bordered by the Savannah River and Forsyth Park, and includes the Riverfront and Market City areas.
The 246-room Hilton Savannah DeSoto places visitors within walking distance from many popular attractions, bars, and restaurants. The newly-renovated DeSoto Grille delivers a luxurious Southern vibe, with tall ceilings and large chandeliers; however, the rest of the hotel lacks the sought-after Historic District charm. Instead, the Hilton Savannah DeSoto offers guests comfortable but chain-like rooms with so-so "Savannah" touches, such as framed photos of the city on the walls. The rooms on higher levels have excellent views of the city.

Wednesday, December 25, 2013
Max McLean, artistic director of Fellowship for the Performing Arts, announces that C.S. Lewis The Great Divorce will be presented at the College of Charleston Sottile Theatre, 44 George Street, for three performances only on Friday, Feb. 28 at 8 p.m. and Saturday, March 1 at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. This journey to Heaven and Hell is a provocative exploration of human nature, featuring vivid characters drawn with Lewis trademark wit. The Great Divorce National Tour will visit cities including Cleveland, Nashville, Colorado Springs and Columbus in 2014.
Fellowship for the Performing Arts also produces the nationally acclaimed hit The Screwtape Letters, which will soon enter its fourth year after appearing in more than 50 major cities throughout the United States. More than 350,000 theatergoers have seen The Screwtape Letters on tour and in successful sit-down productions in New York, Chicago and Washington, D.C. Following the overwhelming success of The Screwtape Letters, McLean conceived the idea to adapt The Great Divorce for the stage.
This is Lewis at his imaginative best, says McLean. In The Great Divorce, several of Lewis most provocative characters take a bus ride from Hell to Paradise. But the bizarre question the play asks is: Will they like it? Will they prefer Hell to Heaven? Are the doors of Hell really locked from the inside?
Three actors transform into more than a dozen different personality types to tell this fantastical morality tale about good and evil. On the bus is a man who is going to demand his rights, a woman who cant stop grumbling, a gentleman who likes Heaven but staying there means giving up his precious pet lizard and a world traveler who believes Heaven and Hell are just a propaganda stunt run by the same people. As each ghost is welcomed by a celestial spirit, the choice of staying or going back brings vivid clarity to the great divorce between Heaven and Hell.
There are only two kinds of people in the end, Lewis writes in The Great Divorce, those who say to God, Thy will be done, and those to whom God says, in the end, Thy will be done. The Great Divorce remains one of Lewis most influential pieces and rightly earns its place among classics such as The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, The Screwtape Letters and Mere Christianity.
The Great Divorce stars Tom Beckett (Bobby Boland, Epic Proportions and The Father on Broadway and Elbridge Gerry in HBOs John Adams), Joel Rainwater (The Lion King, National Tour) and Christa Scott-Reed (The Pitmen Painters on Broadway).
Fellowship for the Performing Arts is based in New York City with Max McLean as founder and artistic director. Adapted by McLean and Brian Watkins, The Great Divorce is directed by Bill Castellino, with the creative team including executive producer and general manager Ken Denison of Aruba Productions, scenic designer Kelly James Tighe, costume designer Nicole Wee and lighting designer Michael Gilliam. Original music and sound design are by John Gromada with projections by Chris Kateff.
Fellowship for the Performing Arts production of The Great Divorce celebrates the legacy of C.S. Lewis profoundly influential life and honors the 50th anniversary of his death on Nov. 22, 1963. This year, on that date, Lewis received one of Britains highest honors, a memorial in Poets Corner joining such legends as Chaucer, Shakespeare and Dickens.
The Great Divorce will play on Friday, Feb. 28 at 8 p.m. and Saturday, March 1 at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. Tickets are $29 to $59. Student seats are $25 (student ID required). For groups of 10 or more (including student groups) call 866-476-8707.
To purchase tickets, visit www.greatdivorceonstage.com or call 800-514-3849. The Sottile Box Office will open on performances days only: Friday 6 to 8 p.m.; Saturday 1 to 9 p.m. Special note: Please bring your order confirmation receipt number and arrive early to collect tickets.

White had a five-kill set in the opening game before finishing with 12 kills on the night.
Oct. 8, 2012
DAYTON, Ohio - After winning the opening game, Xavier lost in four sets at 18th-ranked Dayton (19-25, 25-21, 25-21, 25-14). Amé White recorded a team-high 12 kills and Sarah Brown added 11 for the Musketeers.
Xavier (11-9, 3-2 A-10) staked an early 14-10 lead in the opening set behind four kills and an ace by Amé White. After a sideout by Dayton (13-4, 5-0 A-10), back-to-back kills by Alex Smith pushed Xavier's margin to five points. The Musketeers closed out the set, 25-19. White finished with five kills during the game and Sarah Brown added four.
A kill by Alex Blair put XU ahead, 12-11, in the second set, but UD responded with an 8-3 run that forced a Musketeer timeout. Aubree Smith stopped the run with a kill to kick-start three-unanswered points for Xavier, leading to a timeout by UD.
Blocks on consecutive Musketeer attacks helped the Flyers push their margin to four. Dayton held the lead through the end of the set and evened the match at one set apiece headed into intermission with a 25-21 win.
Xavier called a timeout midway through the third game following a 6-3 spurt by UD, which gave the Flyers a 15-12 advantage. The Musketeers answered with a pair of points causing Dayton to call their own timeout. Xavier was unable to overcome the deficit and UD took a 2-1 lead in the match with a 25-21 win in game three.
The Flyers grabbed an early 6-3 lead in the fourth set, but the Musketeers answered with a 7-1 run that Kelsey Dunaway capped with a solo block. A timeout by UD changed the complexion of the set, as the Flyers reeled off a 13-2 spurt before closing out the set and match, 25-14.
"First of all, I've been proud of our preparation leading into the match," said head coach Mike Johnson. "In this program our goal is simple, get better every day. And, we've done that. I thought for the first set and a half we played very collected and composed volleyball. Going forward we will continue to prepare and continue to improve."
Aubree Smith finished with 37 assists and Stephanie Vorherr dug 14 Flyer attacks. Blair and Alex Smith each added nine kills.
Dayton was led by outside hitter Rachel Krabacher with 25 kills, while setter Samantha Selsky dished out 44 assists. Janna Krafka picked up 14 digs for the Flyers.
The Musketeers host Rhode Island on Friday and Fordham on Saturday in a pair of A-10 conference matchups. Both matches are scheduled for 7 p.m. start and will feature live stats on GoXavier.com. Saturday's match against Fordham will also be streamed live.

'Careful' and 'Responsible' foreign policy flusters GOP
"…we have a phased redeployment, where we're as careful getting out as we were careless getting in…"
– Sen. Barack Obama, during the 2008 presidential campaign, referring to his plan for withdrawal from Iraq, in an interview with Politico before the Potomac Primaries, Feb. 11, 2008.
"As a candidate for president, I pledged to bring the war in Iraq to a responsible end, for the sake of our national security, and to strengthen American leadership around the world."
– President Obama, announcing the end to the Iraq War, with all troops coming home by the end of the year, Friday, October 21, 2011.
No aircraft carrier. No glorious banner. Just a man announcing the resolution of a campaign promise, standing at the podium in the White House briefing room. What a refreshing change. Less than three years after taking his oath of office, President Obama announced today that not only he, but the nation he leads, our nation, "keeps its commitments."
By doing so, he said, "the United States is moving forward from a position of strength." That goes not only for the Iraqi theater, but also on the wide and brightly lit stage of global politics.
For his political opponents, though, all the president's victories are framed as failures. It doesn't matter how measured the delivery, or how much these foreign policy resolutions raise America's stock in the eyes of our global partners, the GOP is ready to throw mud on it.
Getting bin Laden was a failure for Obama because he rejected "harsh interrogation techniques;" helping a NATO mission to get rid of Gaddafi was, according to former UN Ambassador John Bolton, a "massive strategic failure;" and today's announcement has been greeted by Republican presidential primary candidate Mitt Romney as an "astonishing failure" of negotiation with the Iraqis, who could not get their parliament to agree on taking out the trash, much less protecting US troops from war crimes charges that would obviously be against our national interest. Romney actually called the president's efforts at securing an agreement "sheer ineptitude."
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) at least attempted to point out that it's the Iraqis who failed, here, while he also blamed his former opponent. "It is a consequential failure of both the Obama Administration," he said, "as well as the Iraqi government."
We are no longer welcome in Iraq, and no amount of blood-lust pride is worth the arm twisting it would take to make their government work the way we would like. It was their deadline to meet, under the agreement negotiated by the Bush Administration, and they could not meet it. But the GOP and other right wing war machine have adopted the anachronistic, imperial view, that as long as we're in charge, and we have guns, things will go our way. Might makes right is a basic tenet of their thinking, whether they're talking about foreign policy or domestic issues. As conservative über-blogger Andrew Breitbart ranted in September, "We outnumber [liberals] in this country, and we have the guns."
Breitbart, of course, is wrong. Guns don't rule. People do. He is influenced by the same Second Amendment radicalism as the politicians, who operate under the influence of the diesel fumes and gunpowder smoke their perpetual campaigns must inhale to live. They are like ostriches on a pipe dream, still unwilling to accept that in our shrunken world, we can no longer be lulled by 1950s style, commie-behind-every-tree, mom and apple pie, Madison Avenue icons, nor can we be bullied into believing what is best for captains of industry is best for us.
Iraq was Bush and Cheney's war of revenge. It was a war to put money in the pockets of big government contractors, like Haliburton, Kellogg, Brown & Root, and Blackwater. The failure to reach terms with the Iraqi parliament affects them as much as the troops. Should they continue to work for the State Department, they would no longer have any kind of diplomatic protection. Ironic, perhaps, because it is precisely because of Blackwater's alleged overreaction in a Baghdad firefight, in 2007, which killed 17 Iraqi civilians, that blew away any chance of criminal immunity for America's military, or the contractors who work for them.
"The tide of war is receding," in our major foreign involvements, Obama reiterated, today. But as long as our Congress remains as dysfunctional as the Iraqi parliament, the ship of state will remain painfully aground, here, for there will be no reciprocal rising tide to lift us. Welcome to the economy, a new kind of quagmire.
The modern Republican – an American problem
The new Republican party is an albatross of ideological intransigence. It is an anchor that lists the ship of governance as far to the right as it can, until it starts to take on water. The threat not to raise the debt limit, that enables the federal government to pay our debts, has pulled the starboard deck rail far enough below the water line, that Standard & Poors has already said it may not wait until we miss the August 2 deadline to downgrade the nation's credit rating.
Recognizing "the dynamics of the political debate on the debt ceiling," S&P explained, after putting the United States on its CreditWatch list, Thursday, "there is at least a one-in-two likelihood that we could lower the long-term rating on the U.S. within the next 90 days."
While we wouldn't exactly be in the junk bond category of countries like Ireland and Portugal, the Los Angeles Times said downgrading the U.S. credit rating would mean "America would be considered less creditworthy than Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Finland, Norway and Australia."
Even if the president and Congress reach an agreement, the nation's credit rating may still be brought down, the ratings agency said, "if we conclude that future adjustments to the debt ceiling are likely to be the subject of political maneuvering to the extent that questions persist about Congress' and the Administration's willingness and ability to timely honor the U.S.' scheduled debt obligations."
That could be read as a direct reference to Sen. Mitch McConnell's controversial plan to raise the debt limit in stages. Indeed, it's the politics of taxation and government spending that got us into this mess to begin with.
Democrats in the 110th Congress were so afraid that voting to allow the Bush tax cuts to expire on the wealthiest Americans would cost them the 2010 election, they did nothing to attack the deficit. They allowed themselves to be painted into a corner during the lame duck, which forced the president to compromise with the stubborn Republicans, which he did, without much of a fight.
In doing that, President Obama taught the elephants in Congress that if they hold the line, he will cave. On the other hand, he's the one who is showing flexibility by putting entitlement programs on the table when the GOP won't even talk about revenue increases, and he expects voters to notice that. "I think," he said in Friday's press conference, "increasingly the American people are going to say to themselves, you know what, if a party or a politician is constantly taking the position 'my way or the highway,' constantly being locked into ideologically rigid positions, that we're going to remember at the polls."
The GOP may be telling the president to hit the highway, but, ironically, most Americans believe he has taken the high road in this debate. Calling for "a balanced approach, shared sacrifice, and a willingness to make unpopular choices," in his weekly address, Saturday, most Americans believe, is the right attitude, the adult attitude.
Recent surveys bare this out. A Quinnipiac poll, released Thursday, noted that 67% of respondents felt that "an agreement to raise the debt ceiling should include tax hikes for the wealthy and corporations, not just spending cuts." A Gallup poll, released Wednesday, seems to agree with those findings, showing that only 20% of those surveyed thought that deficits should be cut with spending cuts alone. Sixty-nine percent, Gallup found, think that at least some, mostly, or equal tax increases should be included.
"I've put things on the table that are important to me and to Democrats," Obama said, Saturday, "and I expect Republican leaders to do the same." Americans agree. It's the reasonable thing to do, if one intends to be part of the solution. After all, the saying goes, if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.

The method named after Dr. Alfred A. Tomatis a French ear, nose, and throat doctor made astonishing medical and psychological discoveries that led to audio-psycho-phonology, or the Tomatis method. Called auditory training, auditory stimulation, and listening therapy, the purpose of this treatment is to re-educate the way we listen, and it is used in over two hundred and fifty treatment centers world wide.
The Tomatis method claims to benefit a wide variety of people. People suffering from auditory processing problems, dyslexia, attention deficit disorder, autism, and learning disorders can improve their communication and social behavior by auditory stimulation, which can eliminate or reduce the severity of the disorder. This is based on the belief that the symptoms of these disorders are not caused by the disorder itself, but by a sensory regulation problem that begins in our most primordial sensory instrument, the inner ear. In addition, those suffering from depression, low self-esteem, or just wanting to learn a new language or fine tune their musical talent can also benefit from this unique treatment. Attention, focus, learning, and language abilities can all be improved by retraining the ear to listen using charging high-frequency sounds.

In my constant pursuit of the perfect Italian meal, I keep returning to Italian Sausage. That flavor of roast pork, spices like fennel seed and oregano, pop out like tiny fireworks. You can buy it hot or mild, I like both, but whatever you do, buy it fresh and buy it from a good Italian deli or food market. Italian sausage from the supermarket just doesn't make the grade.
Now ever since The Godfather, Mafia life has become part of the romance of modern American culture. For better or worse. Who can forget Marlin Brando saying 'Make him an offer he can't refuse"? Or Michael in 3-"Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!". And then there's Clemenza making 'the gravy' when the crew has 'gone to the mattresses'. "You see, you start out with a little bit of oil. Then you fry some garlic. Then you throw in some tomatoes, tomato paste. You fry it--you make sure it doesn't stick. You get it to a boil. You shove in all your sausage and your meatballs, hey? And a little bit o' wine. An' a little bit o' sugar, and that's my trick." Gravy is what all made men call red tomato sauce. Its that simple.
But I make a variation of Clemenza's recipe. I put some olive oil in a pan, CHrow some gaaaalic in, THEN the sausages and the peppers. Brown one side and keep turning until they have become a golden brown. This is done with the heat on medium. Using the same pan, pour in the tomato sauce, canned tomatoes, tomato paste, wine, salt, sugar, pepper, spices, and bring to a boil. When it reaches a boil, turn the heat to low, cover, and let simmer until done. And 'done' is the subjective part. The longer it cooks, the more the flavor melds. Be sure to stir with a wooden spoon. Why a wooden spoon? Because that's what mama mia used. That's why. If you want to really simplify things, any quality jar of red sauce can be used and then embellished with salt, sugar, wine etc.
You can serve this over any pasta and try topping with chopped fresh basil. Any good dry red wine pairs well with this gravy.
6 Italian sausages
1 large can tomato sauce or 1 bottle sauce like 'Prego'
1/2 8oz can tomato paste
4 or 5 cloves garlic
1 large can stewed tomatoes with juice
olive oil
Fresh oregano, thyme, sage etc (dried will work) to taste
Salt, pepper, sugar to taste
1 cup red wine

My Sweet Tea Addiction
When I stopped nursing my youngest, I gave myself permission to drink sweet tea whenever the heck I wanted. Well, it seems that whenever the heck I want, equates to all day every day. Not good.
I have never drank sweet tea in the quantities that I do now. I guess after being pregnant with 3 kids and nursing each one a little over 2 years I was/am feeling a little bit like indulging! I didn't let myself have so many things when I was pregnant and nursing (don't get me wrong, I "cheated" with a glass of sweet tea here and there).
Well, now I'm not pregnant. I'm not providing milk for anyone. I can put anything in my body I want, right!? Technically, yes. Is it the best idea? Probably not. Am I ready to quit? Not yet.
If there are any other sweet tea addicts out there Rooibus is a great substitute for the sweet tea you would get at a restaurant. It is an herbal tea you can find in most grocery stores (in the 'healthy' area). It does taste really good! And it's really good for you too! You have to actually make it though, and for some reason, lately, I've been far too lazy for that. Sad.
Any other sweet tea addicts out there?
|Milo's Sweet Tea is my poison of choice. It is the only sweet tea you can buy in stores that just has tea, water and sugar AND tastes like real southern sweet tea! Mmmmmm!

Teavana has some really wonderful rooibus blends! You can find them in stores or online!

They don't sell that tea here but if they did, I'd buy it! I have a sweet tea addiction… and so does my husband. BUT we have an iced tea maker so every summer we use it to make tea. My addiction is always worse in the summer, especially with Mcdonalds and their sweet tea..mmmmmm!
Of all the things you could be addicted to Sweet Tea is really not so bad! Um, not bad at all! :)
Being addicted to anything is unnerving though. I totally understand the feeling of not having full control over the urges associated with an addiction. I was a smoker for 10 years and I am current sugar addict, which I am working on.
Good luck with your tea!

Based on the Sudirman Cup format, IBL's major difference would be an additional men's singles match instead of the women's doubles. So a typical face-off would have two men's, one women's singles, one men's doubles and one mixed doubles matches played back-to-back. The entire engagement is expected to last about three hours.
In the group stage, all five matches in a contest must be completed, even if a team wins the first three. In the knockout phase, the team winning the first three advances to the next stage and need not play the remaining two. In a round-robin format, each team plays the other in a league spread across six cities.
Team composition
Each team will have not less than 10 players and not more than 11, including a junior and four foreign players. At least four players (three men and a woman) must be nominated for a match. The ceiling on foreign players in a contest is three while no individual plays over two matches.
Should each of the players/pairs have won one of two 21-point games, a 11-point tie-breaker would follow, the first to reach the said figure(s) being declared winner of the game/contest.
The standard two-point difference to separate winner from loser will not apply here.
Under a bonus points system, a team thrashing its opponent 5-0 gets six points.
For 4-1 and 3-2 verdicts it will be five and four respectively. Should a team not complete a match, the result will be declared as 21-0, 21-0 in the opponent's favour, to decide group positions.
Retiring/withdrawing during a contest will mean not completing the match.
Two one-minute breaks in the first two games will be allowed when either of the players reaches seven or 14 points. In the decider, there will be a 60-second break when either of the players reaches six points.
Besides, there will be an additional two-minute break between games.
Recovery time during, between matches is sufficient.
To suit shuttlers playing more than one match, the order of play is not fixed.
Used to playing tournaments at single venues, the combatants will have more travel, which will not be physically taxing though.

Karl Johnson is an associate professor of biology whose research into the architecture of cells, particularly in structure/function relationships, has potential applications in the medical treatment of respiratory ailments and reproductive problems, as well as cancer.
"Looking forward to 2004, extraordinarily exciting things are happening in the field of evolutionary biology. The 21st century dawned with publication of the complete sequence of the human genome, and within a few years the breadth of our knowledge has grown from a mere handful to hundreds of these 'books of life.' Genomes hold vast troves of information; they contain histories of life's innovations, the origins of species, and quite literally the bases of commonality, diversity, and individuality. However, many of these secrets have yet to be revealed, awaiting close reading and comparison of significant texts from life's library.
Within the next few months, the anticipated publication of the chimpanzee genome will offer one such opportunity to contrast our genome with that of another primate. The genomes of humans and chimpanzees are 99% identical, having diverged from a common ancestor only five million years ago. The chapters of our genomic stories that remain the same will define us as primates, while those that have changed will emphasize why we are different. There are already indications of fascinating distinctions between our species with respect to such key functions as olfaction, hearing, reading, speech, brain development, and cognition. In the coming months look for many answers, and still more questions, emerging from this unique self-study.
A different story is unfolding, literally worlds apart, that also may radically change our view of ourselves. As Spirit begins its exploration of the Mars surface, soon to be joined by Opportunity, the search for water, and perhaps life, on the Red Planet has taken a major step forward. The debate about life in the universe continues unabated, but it is clear that the discovery of life on another planet would be one of the defining moments of human endeavor. Extraterrestrial life, perhaps the result of parallel emergence during the billions of years of our solar system's existence, would offer an amazing counterpoint to the closer analysis of the primate family tree and would lead to incredible insights into life in all its forms. While some say the chance is slim, the possibilities are, well, cosmic. Stay tuned!"

Hi there Asil My name is Shandro from Bonaire in the Caribean . I had the same problem with my chevy express 3500 year 2001. After i did search and use my meter i find out that the problem was in the socket from the bulb and the ground or (-negative) was not working properly or better yet it wasn`t passing - negative to the bulb. After i did replace the socket for a good one the problem when away and the braking lights are working perfect now. Maybe you can have the same problem. what i found was that the socket had a burn sign at the side and when i by pass it with a wire from the side of the bulb to the chassi it work perfect so the problem was in the socket. So you can check your socket for this problem. Thanks and hope to be helpfull please reply and let me know if problem has been resolve. email@example.com
Hi Shandro, Thank you for your information. I had a guy look at my bulb sockets and that was the problem. There was a short in the sockets. He fixed them and my lights work like they should. Thank you very much for your suggestion. I'm sorry it has taken me so long to let you know it worked. He repaired them over the Thanksgiving holiday. Thank you again, Asil
@ Chevy7121 Thanks a million! That is exactly what my problem was. Suggestion to anyone with the same issue with Chevy Express try this first. I cut off an 8 inch piece of wire stripped both ends leaving an inch of bare wire on each side. Wrap one end around the bottom bolt where the tail light housing bolts on and screw the nut on tight to ensure good connection. Pull the bulb out and put the other end of the wire between the bulb and socket and twist the bulb to lock it in place. The wire should be tightly secured between the brass at the bottom of bulb and socket. Have your buddy hit the brake and if you get the bright filament lit, you are good and of course test with head lights on as well. Solution is to purchase new Tail Light Harness.Thanks again.
The problem is dissimilar metal corrosion where the socket ring connector stem (which is made of steel) connects to the ground wire. You can fix the bulb socket by removing a small amount of plastic from the socket housing 1/2" to 3/4" back from where the ground wire enters the socket. Then, using silver solder & silver solder flux, you can silver braze the wire to the socket ring. It takes some patience as the plastic is quite tough to cut away. Take your time so you want damage the wire and socket ring stem inside. It will be obvious once you've remove just enough of the plastic housing. Scrape away any corrosion as best you can. Drip on the flux, fire up your HOT soldering tool (I use a butane), make a good shiny joint. Your fixed for good.
I was able to take the ground wire out of my wire harness at the bulb socket, clean it up, and reinstall it and have the lights work properly. The ground wires for both sides had gotten dirty/corroded and failed.
I just had to replace both brake light bulb sockets for the same problem. For a safety issue like this, you would think Chevrolet would be required to do a recall. $35 per bulb at the local auto-parts store.
I have a 2002 chevy express 3500 the middle (top) brake light goes on but my sides wont work, also when i turn on my front ligths the lower ligths come on but when i push my brakes the lower back ligths go off and still my brake ligts wont come on i check my positives and they have power something is wrong witTh my ground, can i bipassed atatching a cable from a screw to the socke? Is there a better solution?
I have a 2001 GMC Savana 2500 cargo van that had the same problem. With the headlights on, the brake lights don't function properly. I took the brakelight assembly out and looked at the bulbs. They were rusted in the sockets, which made any repair impossible, except to cut the wires to each socket and replace them. The parts store said the new sockets were $32.99 each, plus bulbs. But at AutoZone, they had a universal taillight socket for $15.99, and $5.99 per bulb. So it cost me $88 to fix the problem. After installing the new sockets, my brake lights function properly. No more headaches wondering when I was gonna get pulled over for not having all three brake lights operational. The ticket for that probably isn't cheap, compared to $88 for new brake light sockets. No more worries!
I followed hobbyaire's instructions and both side brake lights work great now. Don't spend the $35 per side for new sockets. Just cut away the plastic on the ground side of the socket housing until you see the ground connector on the wire and the socket connector. Solder them together and you shouldn't have any more problems. I used a weller soldering gun with the plastic cutting tip to melt away the plastic and expose the wire and socket connector, then soldered the connection (with the soldering tip). I sealed it all up with glue from a hot glue gun.
Found this thread which helped me correct the same problem on my 2002 Chevy Express 1500 LS Van. However, there's a faster, perhaps cheaper, and more permanent fix than replacing the sockets one at a time, or cutting away the plastic connector housing, soldering, and then hot gluing or caulking the repair back up. Assuming that my light issue was this same problem, I searched out replacement sockets on ebay. I also found replacement HARNESSES for this common problem - the same part is used on each side. The GM part number is 16530144 and the Dorman part number is 923-015. You can buy one for $15-20 and both for 25-30. For me that was the best way to go. I fixed the left side today with a NOS GM harness 16530144, and another GM one is on the way to fix the right side. Total expense for both sides = $23.
Oh, I forgot to mention, the short replacement harness comes with all 3 sockets and the regular connector that plugs into the harness inside the van. I found some corrosion in that connector when working on my problem, so part of my issue may have been there too.

Today Mila Kunis follows in the footsteps of mega hotties like Rihanna, Charlize Theron and Angelina Jolie as she assumes the title of Esquire's Sexiest Woman Alive. That's a pretty heady distinction, but there's no doubt in our mind that she totally earned this honor. Don't believe us? Well we've got 45 reasons right here that prove without a doubt that the lovely Miss Kunis is definitely the world's sexiest woman this year, and possibly every year! Take a look…
1. She Saved A Dude's Life
For real. When a man started seizing in her home, the actress busted out some quick EMT skills before the professionals arrived.
2. She Speaks Russian
Is there anything hotter than a woman speaking a foreign language? Yes: A woman speaking a foreign language while laying the smackdown. Sure, Russian may not be the international language of seduction. Yet Mila totally pulls it off.
3. She Supports The Troops
Who could forget the time she hit up the Marine's Ball, triggering a rash of copycat Youtube pleas.
4. She's Funny
Come on, this one is a given. For years she's proved herself to be one of the funniest people on television through her roles on That 70s Show, Family Guy and Robot Chicken.
5. She Can Spend 5 Minutes Talking About Poop
And here's the proof. It's a rare talent to get that much mileage out of poo. Tom Green is perhaps the only one who can do better.
6. She's Accessible, And One Of You Should Totally Give Her A Call
"I don't get asked out," Mila complained to Harper's Bazaar in March. (This was before she and Ashton hooked up, naturally.) "This past year, I haven't been home, so who's going to ask me?… I don't go out very often. I prefer to stay home and have a nice little beverage and watch television."
7. She's Done Sex Scenes With Justin Timberlake And Natalie Portman
Who else can say that?
8. Through 45. Refer to the gallery below.

A Valentine Story: Brandy Ragan
written by Lynn O'Shaughnessy, April 2006
It was the day before Thanksgiving when I received the call. A 13-year old Airedale was being surrendered to ATRA. Her family had moved and could not take her. She was left behind with relatives.
I wasted no time getting there. The temperatures at night were already going into the 20s and I was told she lived outside. I pulled in front of a modest home in an older neighborhood. However, nothing could prepare me for what I was about to see. Brandy was tied out in the yard next to a dog house. There was no straw or blankets to comfort her old bones. She had hair missing and what was there was terribly dreadlocked, matted and filthy.
I bit my tongue, and completed the paperwork. When it came time to get Brandy, the people just unhooked her and handed her to me, tie out, cable and all. I gathered her up and put her in the car. Despite all of her neglect, she managed a tail wag. She was so grateful to be going somewhere – anywhere there were people.
A bath was the first order of business. After washing away all of the stench, I just used scissors to cut away all the matted fur. She was quite thin underneath. I gave her some food, probably the best meal she had in a while. She ate with gusto and wagged her tail some more.
Little by little she improved. Her diarrhea went away, her coat began to grow back and she was quite playful for her age. She celebrated Christmas with us. She was warm. She was loved. She finally had what she needed to renew her spirit.
By January, she was ready for her new home. I wasn't sure if anyone would adopt a 13-year old dog, but I took her picture and put her up on the Web site anyways. In the back of my mind, I told myself that if no one wanted her, she could live out her days here with us.
But Brandy had an Aire-Angel. Joan Ragan called in February. She had just lost her Zoey. I was happy yet sad. Brandy and Joan were a match made in heaven. In knew that. But I still shed some tears when she left – tears of joy.
Joan officially signed the papers to adopt Brandy on Valentines Day. I couldn't think of a better present for my little foster girl.
Brandy had a wonderful year with Joan before crossing the Rainbow Bridge.
