The pair of sandals I was wering, the strap kept coming loose,and finally broke off. These touring sandals are better made,and feel better. More cushioned in the sole than any pair of sandals I have ever worn.

Guaranteed to be the most controversial film in 2007 is Mitchell Lichtenstein's TEETH, a coming-of-age horror story that is sure have you talking about it for days. The film, which premiered at this year's Sundance Film Festival, has one major flaw – it's a one trick pony. Our lead character, Dawn (Jess Weixler), was born with a mutation – teeth in her vagina.
High school student Dawn works hard at suppressing her budding sexuality by being the local chastity group's most active participant. Her task is made even more difficult by her bad boy stepbrother Brad's increasingly provocative behavior at home. A stranger to her own body, innocent Dawn discovers she has a toothed vagina when she becomes the object of violence. As she struggles to comprehend her anatomical uniqueness, Dawn experiences both the pitfalls and the power of being a living example of the vagina dentata myth.
The story, which was also written by Lichtenstein, could have easily been written in many different ways, he chose to go the "black comedy" route. Written like a fun, cheesy, classic monster movie, TEETH has a very sarcastic and fun tone that keeps the audience extremely comfortable until our one trick pony takes stage. When the "moment" arrives where our little vagina monster defends herself (I guess it's a chick) the entire audience screams, yells and cheers like there's no tomorrow. I guess you can compare it to films like BASKET CASE, where the audience sits in suspense until that special moment – the reveal. The thing with TEETH is that there are three of these moments, so you're not just waiting until the final scene of the movie to get your money's worth. But the problem lies in the fact that since we get the first "decapitation" pretty early in the film it doesn't leave much to look forward to. I'm not saying that this makes the film a bad one, I've noticed that the film doesn't have much to stand on.
With the screenplay, Lichtenstein did what anyone in his position would do. He added a heavy dose of phallic symbols and background themes such as, the stories of The Garden of Eden and Medusa. There are heavy references to snakes, forbidden fruit, innocence – and of course the beheading of Medusa. It was nice having a bit of these intertwined, since they added a much-needed layer to a thin plot.
One problem with the screenplay was that certain scenes weren't very clear. Many of the audience members were complaining in the lobby about not understanding the relationship between Dawn and her aggressive, rebellious brother. In addition, the ending was extremely ludicrous and unnecessary, turning our hero into an instant venomous Villain… I guess they were trying to say that she took the forbidden fruit (had sex) and has been led down the path of evil. I get it, but I didn't like it.
Other positive things, that really enhanced the film's viewing experience were: The characters were well developed, the acting was extremely authentic, the cinematography was beautiful, the editing top notch and the production value was way up there. But what you all came to see was the vagina monster in action – how did it par up?
The vagina dentate scenes escalated with every moment and as the movie progressed the events became worse and worse. Our first victim rapes Dawn and that's when she realizes something might be wrong. She returns to the scene of the crime, just to make sure it wasn't a dream only to find bugs chowing down on the male member. In addition, a gynecologist loses a few fingers and someone well deserving loses his penis as well. The level of blood was moderate, which made it more realistic and the way in which some of the scenes were shot were amazing. Especially the moment when Dawn decapitates one of the character's member and stands up, we see the penis fall from under her, onto the ground. It was truly a disturbing moment. It was truly a disturbing moment.
As much as I didn't love the film, I still think it's a well-made movie that has potential to stir up some serious controversy. I hope TEETH finds it's way into theaters because it carries a special bite that one should share with a full theater. Whether you're a male or a female TEETH is guaranteed to make you squirm and scream "OOOOOHHHHHH, NO WAY!" at least once… and sometimes that's all you need.

DesignCraft lives at the intersection of design, fine craft, and art. It's design-driven, craft-based work that's both functional and decorative. Rather than drawing lines between each of the traditional "disciplines", DesignCraft is about finding the relationships between them.
The core of DesignCraft is the hand, and its relationship with material, whether it's clay, glass, metal, paper, wood, fibre or some other material. (And when we say "the hand" we don't exclude technological help.)
We love that there's a tension, a give and take, between the hand and the material. It's that tension that makes things interesting; it imbues the object with a certain magic. Design comes into it through the injection of a contemporary twist, a different way of solving a problem, and humor. And art? Well it's about an idea. It's about beauty. It's about an edge. And it's about the heart.
We believe that objects matter, that they help give meaning to our lives. We believe that we should stop talking about the differences between design, fine craft, and art, and the endless discussions about whether something is "good enough" to transcend these categories. We believe that craft and design and art are related: that in the right hands, great art is designed and great craft is art.
And it's to those hands we dedicate a Handful of Salt.

The teams: The Green Bay Packers (2-1) vs. the Kansas City Chiefs (1-2).
The time: 6 p.m. CDT Friday.
The place: Lambeau Field, Green Bay, Wis.
The TV coverage: WTMJ (Ch. 4) in Milwaukee, WGBA (Ch. 26) in Green Bay and WKOW (Ch. 27) in Madison.
The announcers: Kevin Harlan and Rich Gannon, with Rod Burks reporting from the sidelines..
Packers injury report: The team placed six players on injured reserve this week: Wide receiver Jared Abbrederis (knee); tackle/guard Don Barclay (knee); nose tackle B.J. Raji (biceps), linebacker Joe Thomas (knee); guard Andrew Tiller (calf); and running back Rajion Neal (knee). Defensive tackle Letroy Guion (hamstring) is off the non-football injury list and should make his debut. Tight end Brandon Bostick (leg) and center JC Tretter (knee) will not play.
Center of attention: If you bought a ticket hoping to see all the stars of the Packers galaxy, you should probably save yourself the trip to Lambeau Field. While coach Mike McCarthy wouldn't come right out and say that he'd be benching most – if not all – of his starters for the preseason finale the way Kansas City's Andy Reid did, it's hard to imagine he plays many of his front-line guys when the Sept. 4 regular-season opener at Seattle is exactly a week away. McCarthy dropped plenty of hints with his comments this week about the focus being on player evaluation and not preparation for the Seahawks.
"We have 63 opportunities that are available," McCarthy said of the 53-man roster and 10-man practice squad. "We're going to make sure everybody gets an opportunity Thursday night against Kansas City to show what they've got."
There is one opening-day starter who will play and likely see a fair amount of work: Center Corey Linsley, who was thrust into the starting lineup when Tretter suffered an impaction fracture in his left knee against Oakland last week. While McCarthy won't play quarterback Aaron Rodgers just so he can get a series of in-game experience with Linsley, you can bet Linsley will get his share of work.
"He'll be fine," offensive line coach James Campen said of Linsley. "I feel obviously bad for JC, but he'll be back. He'll be back and he'll be stronger and better than ever. I've said it to you 100 times: When guys get hurt, I really don't care – I mean, I do care who's out there obviously – but if you're wearing a G you're expected to block, pass block and not only that your play style has got to represent that G. You're going to go out there and you're going to play that way, that's just the bottom line."
Decisions, decisions: While the final preseason game doesn't – or, shouldn't – count more in the roster analysis than the previous three games, and practice time, meetings and potential also factor in, the bottom line is that this is players' last opportunity to make an impression.
"It's important. Somebody shows up, they can change the rating," Packers general manager Ted Thompson said of the preseason finale. "But you obviously have to be cognizant of the fact that this is a long-term decision. You have to think this through."
There are still too-close-to-call races as the bottom of the depth chart at tight end, wide receiver, cornerback, safety, linebacker and on the defensive line. Two draft picks – third-round defensive lineman Khyri Thornton and fourth-round linebacker Carl Bradford – may make the roster based solely on their draft status but neither has done much to impress this summer. A strong finish would seal their roster spots. Thompson must decide whether to keep for example, six wide receivers or five tight ends, and there's a plethora of roster permutations on the defensive side of the ball, too.
"It's a busy time for those of us scouts upstairs and trying to do the right thing and make the right decisions," Thompson said. "It weighs on you pretty good because it's important. It's important to these young guys who have done a good job and some of them are not going to be able to survive past the weekend. That's the hard edge of NFL football, I guess."
Quarterback quandary: The most intriguing competition, of course, is at quarterback, where the duel between Matt Flynn and Scott Tolzien is too close to call. In fact, no one even seems to know whether they'll keep one backup quarterback or two after the release of fourth-stringer Chase Rettig this week.
"I really have no idea," Flynn said. "I don't know what their plans are."
The Packers probably have a better idea, but if they are only going to carry two quarterbacks on the 53-man roster – they haven't come out of camp with three quarterbacks on the 53 since Rodgers' first year as a starter in 2008 – then Flynn and Tolzien have made it very difficult on them.
"It's very close. I think they've both done an outstanding job," quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt said. "Both are doing everything you ask of them. Both run the system very well. It's been a tough competition and it's a credit to both of those guys."
Although offensive coordinator Tom Clements called it Flynn and Tolzien's "last opportunity," he also quickly added that it's "not the only thing that you make the evaluation on. You make the evaluation based on everything – meetings, practice time and the entire preseason."
And while Thompson disagreed with the idea that last year's quarterback carousel would make him more likely to keep both players, there's one guy hoping he does.
"I do play quarterback and not GM. I have guys you pull for, and obviously spending so much time with Scott and Matt, you pull for both of those guys because you see how hard they work and how much it means to them," Rodgers said. "Scott's a gym rat. He really puts a lot of time into it. He's great at preparing. And Matt has got that moxie, that ability to make plays in game situations like we saw last year when he's had little to know preparation during the week. Him and I have a good relationship over the years, being friends and working together. Obviously I would love to see both of those guys stick around."
Special education: If you're looking for some tells on which players fighting for spots might make the roster, keep an eye on the special-teams units. If you see certain players on punt coverage, punt return, kickoff coverage and kickoff return groups early in the game, it may tip you off to which ones are in better shape for a roster spot than their counterparts at the same position. For instance, wide receiver Kevin Dorsey is battling for one of the spots at his position, but because he's been on most of the special teams groups, there's a good chance he'll win the No. 6 receiver job if the team decides to keep six.
"You want as many four-down players as possible. Obviously, the definition of a four-down player is someone who plays offense and defense on first, second and third down and plays special teams on fourth down," McCarthy said. "Special teams is extremely important. It goes down to the first meeting that you have with your team. The first meeting in the rookie orientation, it's probably the top three things you talk about. The vehicle onto our football team is through special teams. It definitely is a big factor in a lot of decisions."
Growing up fast: Rodgers has not held back in publicly pointing out that some of his young teammates have yet to rise to the occasion, saying last week that he didn't want certain players on the field if he doesn't know where they're going to be, and saying this week that certain youngsters need to "catch up" before the games start to count.
While Rodgers didn't name names, you can bet he's talking about some of the young pass-catchers that need to be ready because they could be called upon early in the season. Rodgers' comments seemed applicable to rookie wide receiver Davante Adams, who's had a quiet summer, and rookie tight end Richard Rodgers, whom Aaron Rodgers likes but still isn't a finished product.
This is their last dress rehearsal before the opener, and you can bet both Rodgers and McCarthy are hoping to see them take a positive step.
"If you ask Richard and Davante, they probably think they're preparing more than they ever have before. They think they're probably doing a heck of job and the reality of it is being a rookie, it's never enough. It's just not enough," McCarthy said. "Once you're able to catch your breath and things slow down for you, you realize there's a whole other level of learning that goes on.
"Right now, the younger guys are trying to do the right thing. Get the timing within the system with Aaron in particular, but once again you have a system of football. We refer to the cheat system or the system of experience. All of the little things that go on on a daily basis aren't things written down in a book. They're not things you can just tell someone. There's a process you have to go through and every rookie has to go through it."

We've been busy trying out some new technology which you'll hopefully see little bits of in some of our new games.
It's nothing new, but will hopefully mean our games look a lot better than they have in the past.
We like to call it 'Phase II' – and we'll see you there!
On an unrelated note, we've been playing a few of PlayMeshes MMO titles – they're quite fun, even if all you're doing is pressing a few 'confirm' buttons, but the weirdest thing happened the other day.
Within just three months, we'd become the top player on one of their games. Without spending a single penny.
You have to wonder how on earth they make any money!

HURST SPRINGS, TEXAS. Hurst Springs (Hurst), on Farm Road 182 five miles northeast of Turnersville in northern Coryell County, was named for John H. Hurst, who established the community in the 1870s near a small spring. A post office opened there in 1877 with Franklin H. Justice as postmaster, then closed in 1883 but reopened in 1888. By the early 1890s the community had grown to include a cotton gin, a corn mill, a church, a district school, two general stores, and 100 residents. The Hurst post office closed again in 1906, and local mail was sent to Norse in Bosque County. By the 1930s Hurst's population had fallen to twenty-five, but in the late 1940s and 1950s it reported 100 residents. Most people who stayed in the area were farmers who raised some cattle and grew grains and sorghum. In the mid-1980s several new homes had been built or were under construction in the Hurst Springs area. In 2000 the population was eight.

so finally this whole book dropped down on a three star rated thread...i am kinda sad i admit that the last post was very shitty...i will put more afford in my stuff, that means no more tv while drawing or computer games or stuff. this just isn't good for my concentration and creativity. someday maybe it will be up again....
ok here is some work from the past days....
i am doing a sp now every day....if i like them i will post them
worktime sketches
some anatomy
thats it for today...farewell
Dude, there's a ton of really fun stuff in this book. A ton of fun if you will. Your rendering skills are solid and your anatomy is damn fine too. The color pieces have improved a lot since page 1. The features on these new SPs look great, I'm not sure if they fit on the face just right. The features just seem a little small for the size of the rest of the face. Course I don't know your face, so I'm probably talking out of my ass. Keep em up daily, I'm lookin forward to em!
really good work on the anatomy and the pencil works...and those are some hot chicks, which are always good to see in a sketchbook
Very cool sketchbook. Good work on anatomy...keep 'em coming...!
My CA sketchbook
My comfy Sofa
thx a lot everybody. i am glad you like it
so here is some stuff from the past weeks. i have been a bit lazy. some sketches and some ideas
The drawings are great! I love your lines. However you should spend some more time with anatomy.
Hey, wicked SB man, hope I will draw like this some day! One thing I have noticed, I dont know if it is worth mentioning it, is that in some of your sketches, you draw the sternocleidmastoid on the wrong place, when it should go all the way up until the back side of the ear. Or you might have done it on purpose? For example, in these ones:
Rest is simply great!
Each one, teach one. P e a c e

Her greyish tits and the surrounded circle may attract you most. Watch out the perfect patriotic girl who keeping her country always on her pussy better to say that her country is covering the 'universal hole'. She is worn her country flag-coloured panties on her pussy. Her boobs are open for all, anyone can make any wild game with her big boobs and reddish tits. It is so pointed that may be sucked by all who is looking to it. Look at the sexy teen girl who can not wait for any private place, she is showing her busty boobs on the roads to all. Her butts are open also. She is asking for a hardcore game from you anywhere that you will prefer. Watch out all the beauty-pussy girls live on free sex chat for absolutely free of cost.
This redhead mature is one of the wildest sluts you will ever see in the big tits live shows from now on. She just shaved her cunt and she is ready to go mental on it with every hardcore sex toy she has in her collection, because she wants to squirt and she wants to do it in the most extreme way possible. Since she found out that she is a whore who likes the pain and pleasure of a BDSM solo session, she does it every night in front of her computer in her porn roulette chat room, where boys can swing by and watch her meaty cunt getting abused by her dildos or by her own big hand. She also loves to feel some pain on her boobs and whenever that is needed or required she takes a huge lit candle and she pours all the hot wax on her nipples after which she slaps her knockers until they get read and she starts to scream. This extreme hardcore action made her one of the most favorite sluts of many BDSM lovers out there and she enjoys all the fame.
Exotic blonde with big boobs
Do you think that this girl deserves to spend her time all alone? Of course not and that's why we paid her a little visit for her daily photo album. When she saw us she started to smile as she knew that her hot body was about to be taken pictures as she slowly takes of her clothes and reveals it. Yeah her long transparent dress slowly got down of her and she started to show the camera her delicious boobs. Damn this girl has one exotic body. I bet that whenever she goes in bed with her boyfriend that guy sleeps with his boner up, even after they had fun together.
Stunning exotic girl is a real patriot
Well you can really call this girl a patriot, don't you think? Wearing those english panties as the rest of her body is naked and her big boobs are hanging from her chest all hot like that. From the minute I laid my eyes on this girl I knew that we are going to have some nice porn pics albums of her and it seems that I was right. This teen babe has one exotic body with a nice pair of natural boobs who can't wait to be squeezed by strong hands.
Sexy naughty teen playing on the streets
Now isn't she one naughty little girl? This babe has got an amazing body and she likes showing it on the streets. Her beautiful small natural boobs can't wait to get out of that shirt as to be revealed as her ass cheeks are. Damn, you can see her pussy from here.. now that's hot. She's sitting all alone on the street dressed in blue, wearing her high heels, a jean skirt and a t-shirt that wants to reveal her titties. What I do enjoy the most about this porn photo is the way she smiles and how happy she is that the camera is taking pictures of her being naughty.
Hot exotic mature blonde babe
Wow! Now this babe is definitely one breath taker, isn't she? Just check out those long legs, aren't they the sexiest you've seen until now? I bet they would look great on any man's shoulders as he's banging this girl. The fact is, this busty mature blonde slut likes to tease men with her legs as she stretches them and she's wearing high heels… damn.. this girl is making me sweat already. As we were taking her daily porn pics, she was looking at every single member of our crew to see what their reactions are when she was posing in different positions as she loves that she seen. To be honest, we did as well, probably even more.
Sexy exotic teen slut
Just look at this lovely exotic teen slut. Isn't she the best? When was the last time you've seen such a hot small ass like she's got? Even her but hole looks incredible hot and it's also very tight. She likes to experience new things every single day but she hasn't done any anal sex before but she is interested on how it would feel because she heard from her friends that it's amazing. So why not take a few pictures of her nude ass before she experiences something new? We just had to take advantage of this situation.
Hot and sexy brunette exotic slut
Check out this lovely brunette. She's one hot exotic slut with a one of a kind ass. It's perfect if you ask me. She's smiling like that to the camera as she's seen the hole crew stare at her ass while she was like that and understood how hot she actually is. This girl couldn't wait for her daily exotic album pics to end to see how hot she really is on camera. Baby girl, you have no idea. Her small delicious natural boobs are hanging but they still look perfectly round and soft.
Beautiful blonde teen in leggings
Do you think this girl is exotic? I know you do as she's one hot looking blonde teen babe with an incredible body. She's wearing high heels and a pair of white leggings making her irresistible to the naked eye. It's almost impossible not to give you a boner as she's laying on the sofa like that. This horny teen slut likes her daily exotic pics done with us as she sees us smile when she gets or nasty like that. Her pussy lips are waiting to get more attention as the camera is not enough for her. She needs a real man's touch to make her feel like a sexy woman.
One of the things that we enjoy the most about our business is that we get to see all the hot and sexy exotic babes that want to show their sensual bodies to the camera. You can clearly see why they love doing so as this gorgeous teen is just too damn hot. Her high heels make her legs look longer and hotter and because of them her sweet little ass is incredible hot. You should know that right about now her nipples are getting harder by the moment as the cold breeze slides over them and gives her the chills.

text: Blair Heckled at Media Ethics Inquiry Shouted 'this man should be arrested for war crimes' By Mark Russell, Newser Staff Posted May 28, 2012 7:05 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (6) (Newser) – Former British PM Tony Blair is getting grilled today at the Leveson Inquiry about his ties to Rupert Murdoch while he was leading the country, reports Sky News. And thus far, the most dramatic moment comes compliments of a heckler, who managed to get through a secure corridor and into court and shout "this man should be arrested for war crimes." He was removed by security, notes the AP. Blair is one of many politicians who has been criticized in the course of the inquiry for his relationship with the infamous media mogul. But Blair responded by saying it is "inevitable, essential, and crucial" that journalists and politicians have close relationships, although the press' power could make that relationship "unhealthy," reports CNN. He denied being "cozy" with Murdoch but acknowledged that "the relationship is one in which you feel this pretty intense power"—though he says Murdoch was more interested in pressuring him about political, rather than commercial or media, matters." Most accounts of Blair's testimony described him as relaxed, tanned, and confident, notes the BBC, with the Guardian saying Blair drew laughs when said he did not remember the Daily Mail calling the press a "big sloppy labrador." Murdoch told the inquiry last month that he never asked the Blair administration for any favors. Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair arrives to give evidence to the Leveson media inquiry at the High Court in London earlier today.

This format of your description makes it look very similar to the types of assignments given to students studying cryptography at school - it is not uncommon for the professor to give a series of these types of questions as part of the final exam, where you have to decrypt each part in order to get the final answer. (Of course, you could always email any moderator with evidence that this is not the case, and they could confirm that here).

Best salon in downtown Toronto! I love Solexotica :)
The customer service are rude, misbehave. Never more there.
After being haunted by that episode of "Friends" I've always been a little nervous to try spraytanning. My friend told me about Sol'exotica and after seeing her tan I was jealous so I gave it a try. They were right, I didn't turn orange, it didn't come off on my clothes, and it didn't streak. Apparently spraytanning has come a long way, and maybe I should find a new show to watch, since "Friends" stopped airing 10 years ago lol.
First off I have to hand it to Sol'exotica and their friendly, and approachable staff. I am a first time tanner, that had a lot of questions... and I got a lot of answers! There were two staff on hand to help me decide what beds, and lotion suited me the best. I also tried out their new spa equipment and feel great! Two thumbs up guys! -Alicia

It's an act of generosity that one non-profit organization will never forget.
Lighthouse Ministries, in Lexington, is dedicated to helping out those who have fallen on tough times, feeding the needy six days a week and serving as a crisis center for men with life controlling problems like drug abuse.
In response to the growing need in the community, the organization is hoping to expand, with a bigger kitchen and dining facility and even adding a women's shelter.
Now a donor is helping out the agency by giving the facility half a million dollars.
Tuesday, Executive Director Tay Henderson said the organization is one step closer to that goal, thanks in part to a generous donation of $500,000 by an anonymous donor.

Organizers of Woodstock's popular Jog with Judy 5K Road Race have noticed a bittersweet phenomenon emerging over time.
Organizers of Woodstock's popular Jog with Judy 5K Road Race have noticed a bittersweet phenomenon emerging over time.
As the years pass, fewer and fewer participants remember the popular Woodstock Middle School social worker whose December 2005 murder spurred the event.
But the legacy of Judy Nilan has grown as more and more competitors turn out for the fundraiser and spread their stories of camaraderie and enthusiasm through social network and other tools.
"We've had years where we have over 1,000 runners, and it's nice to see so many kids here," said Joyce Gresh, the Woodstock school district's language arts coordinator and a volunteer at Saturday's 8th annual jog. "Many of her students end up coming back every year."
Nilan, 44, was jogging near her English Neighborhood Road home in Woodstock on the night of Dec. 12, 2005, when she was abducted and killed by then-Plainfield resident Scott Deojay, 37, who is in prison.
Nilan was a beloved social worker at Woodstock Middle School, known for her gregarious nature and penchant for organizing large-scale projects with students.
She was also an avid runner, so dedicating a road race in her name — with all proceeds going toward several character development and substance abuse programs Nilan advocated for or began while working at the school — was a perfect tribute, race coordinator Susan Rioux said.
On Saturday, more than 1,000 people turned out.
"I think runners are sensitive to things like this, and it's for a great cause," Rioux said.
Before the jog's 10 a.m. start, organizers asked for a moment of silence in observance of last month's Boston Marathon bombing, and several participants wore "Boston Strong" T-shirts, wristbands and other accessories.
Garret Hippert, 10, of Brooklyn, warmed up at the start of the course on Roseland Park Road with his friend Colin Smith, 9. Saturday was Garret's first-ever race.
"I wanted to do it because of Judy. She just inspires me and she always ran," Garret said.
Colin said the Saturday event was his sixth 5K.
"I'm a natural athlete and just really like to run," he said.
As has become tradition, about 40 students from Woodstock Middle School's Girl Power Club, wearing tie-dyed T-shirts bearing the race's name, took part in the run.
"We all want to run for Judy because she was a part of our school," said Evelyn Brown, 12.

Farscape or Babylon 5?

Re: Farscape or Babylon 5?
Really depends what you're looking for. Both shows are very good indeed, both shows pushed the envelope for tv sci-fi and featured some unforgettable characters...but they're also fundamentally different animals.
First off, a disclaimer: B5 is not "like Star Trek", at all. Some superficial (and purportedly not coincidental) similarities to DS9, but that's as far as it goes. It's very much it's own show and would often (sometimes pointedly) approach things that Trek wouldn't touch, or address them from a totally different angle.
Now that that's out of the way, I love Farscape: is a fun, colourful, often comical adventure series that was unjustly cut down before it's time. B5 on the other hand is a complete story spanning five seasons, with a definite beginning middle and end. In terms of storytelling I'd say it's closer to Firefly than BSG in that while there is strong epsiode-to-episode continuity, it wasn't totally serialised.
Farcape was more or less made up as they went along. Going in they had onle a vague idea of which way the show was heading and so, it meanders quite a bit. B5 was planned from the get go and for the most part, things went according to that plan. Of course it helped that the plan included the possibilities of course correction, cast changes and thinking up a better idea in the intervening time so it comes off as fairly seamless.
B5 got to finish it's story. When you see the last episode, you're not left wanting more (in a good way.) Farscape suddenly cancelled and the last episode leaves you feeling like the rug just got pulled out from under you, then rolled up and used to beat you about the head. Sure, they got a chance to tie up some loose ends later on with a mini-series, but that was a very wonky affair.
I suppose if it comes down to money, I say go with Farscape because it only has 4 seasons and even then you can probably skip most of the first season and you won't miss much (think early TNG in terms of inconsistent direction and quality of writing.) It doesn't really get good until a certain pale chick turns up. While B5 also had some first season growing pains, there's a lot there that lays the ground work and sets up some things that won't fully pay off for several season--Indeed, a surprising amount of it you really only notice in a second viewing--So basically, if you get B5, you'll be hooked and want to buy all five sets.
If you get Farscape, you'll have fun and might pick up the other three. Getting hooked on Farscape is cheaper, so long as you can deal with a lack of a definitive ending.

Gardening gives kids a chance to participate in an ongoing process that reaps rewards.

Gardening gives kids a chance to discover the outdoors and participate in an ongoing process that reaps rewards. With strawberry season right around the corner, now would be the time to engage children by growing the juicy berry together as a family.
Here's some tips on growing strawberries:
When planting strawberries, be sure the crown is above soil level and the upper most roots are ¼ inch beneath soil level. Buried crowns rot and exposed roots dry out. Have kids measure and then dig holes for placing plants, depending on space and quantity. Strawberry plants should be placed approximately ...

The Boys and Girls Club of Sierra Blanca exceeded projected participation goals for the first year of operation, proving the need for the club, the executive director told Ruidoso village councilors Tuesday.
"About a year ago we opened our doors, becoming the first Boys and Girls Club in Lincoln County," Tim Coughlin said. As promised he was at the meeting to give an annual update.
"Our original plan was that by the end of 2012, we wanted to have 200 members," he said, adding that the 370th member signed up that day. Out of that total, 250 come at least once a week and between 110 to 120 come each day to the club, which is housed in the former Ruidoso Middle School.
He was calling Boys and Girls clubs in southern New Mexico Monday about forming a professional chapter in the state, and found out that one club in Albuquerque sees about 75 children per day, one in Hobbs about 130, one in Las Cruces 60 and all of Valencia County, about 75, Coughlin said.
"We're just overwhelmed with the number of kids we're getting," he said. "Anyone who asked if there was a need, there are the numbers."
Looking at the county's demographics, there are 3,200 kids who are 19 and younger. "We don't take below five, but we have more than 10 percent of all the kids in the county signed up," Coughlin said.
One of the most valuable programs offered is the Power Hour, where students can receive help with their homework, he said.
"A lot of our members have a reading problem and can't get their homework done fast enough," Coughlin said. "We're talking second to fifth graders and up. So we're working with the school district to find something to help them even boost their scores more."
A private individual who lives in Ruidoso four months a year recently donated money to start a First Tee program, which fosters honesty and teaches participants about golf.
The club also became a model for a pilot program in New Mexico under the "We the People" initiative grant, he said. "We received national accolades because we improved the program," Coughlin said. Judges and police officers were brought in to talk about various aspects of the U.S. Constitution, about how government operates and is supposed to operate and "How we as citizens make our government what it is." The national program is going to incorporate some of the local programming, he said.
As for the safety of participants, 16 cameras are stationed throughout the building and new devices were installed on the doors to protect against unwanted entry.
Despite being moved out of the club headquarters for 12 days as the National Guard used it as a base in June during the Little Bear Fire, the club served more than 19,300 meals in 53 days at 17 different locations throughout the county. Other space was found for the club and it shut down only for one day, he said.
When the club first opened, he used to hear from participants that their mothers insisted they attend while parents were at work, but now he hears that they enjoy coming and learning, Coughlin said.
Members of The Torch Club, a leadership group, run a concession stand on Wednesdays and Fridays and earn between $75 to $100 a day.
They are being trained in cash management and customer service skills. "They'll make great people out in the community, especially in a tourist-based economy," he said. The same group also runs the club's recycling program, including used Ink Jet cartridges.
This year, the club selected a representative for the Youth of the Year award, and although she didn't win, Coughlin said he saw the entrant grow in confidence and poise in front of a group.
The club's economic impact also was significant, Coughlin said.
The school district was losing $15,000 a year on the program that the club replaced, he said. "We're saving them $20,000 a year. Ten employees are earning some wages, with eight to 10 more in the summer."
He hears from parents who used to pay $75 a month for a place to take their children and now only pay $10 to the club.
"That's money they can put in their pockets," he said. "We're only closed for the six major holidays a year."
The club's annual budget is $250,000, with about $65,000 going to the summer food program. Money donations are welcomed, he said. "It would be nice to have a chair without black duct tape on it, but when you're sitting, you can't see the tape," he said.
More important is the need for volunteers, especially in the homework program. Someone also can come in and read with the children, he said.
He thanked the council and individual councilors for their support. The club's address is 134 Reese Drive, Ruidoso, NM 88345, or call (575)808-8338.

What I have is a table that holds 3 input elements, They represent order, name, value. The user can add a new row of 3 inputs to add as many of these sets of data as they want.
To accomplish the dynamically adding in of inputs I use jquery's clone method.
That works fine and I am able to iterate through each and grab the values, however the real pain I am having is that when the user has entered in all of the data I want to pass that data to an asp.net page through jQuery's post method. How do I go about passing an array of strings so that I send this format to the asp.net page, and when I've done that how do i parse the data on the asp.net side of it.
Desired Data Format:
["Name|Link|Order", "Name|Link|Order", "Name|Link|Order"]
jquery Code so far:
$("#saveBtn").click(function (e) {
//Perform Save Operation
var saveString = "";
$("#addTable tbody>tr").each(function () {
var o = $(this).find(".hsaorder").val();
var n = $(this).find(".hsaname").val();
var l = $(this).find(".hsalink").val();
saveString += n + "|" + l + "|" + o ;
////// Create Array here or some other method?
$.post("/modules/H/Modify.aspx", { OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING GOES HERE});
// Remove all but top table element to return to original state
$("#addTable tbody>tr").not("#addTable tbody>tr:first").remove();

Two Federales opened fire on fellow officers in the Mexico City International Airport yesterday, killing three. The shooters are suspected of being in the employ of drug traffickers. The whole mess was on surveillance, and the identify of the suspects is known, but they successfully fled and still remain on the loose.
It is a good thing that drugs are victimless crimes, or somebody might have gotten hurt.

Game Range Notes
by Mike Thompson,
Wildlife Biologist
Fish, Wildlife & Parks
For the Pathfinder
Seeley Swan Pathfinder
December 17, 1998
by Mike Thompson
An elk hunter lying on his death bed cries out for a miracle cure. To his family's dismay, he dismisses the priest and the doctor, and places a call to Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks instead. "Please, I'm desperate," he gasps, and with his last breath he whispers to the biologist, "Give me a brow-tined bull season."
For the few of you who remain unaware, a brow-tined bull season is an elk hunting regulation that prohibits the killing of spike bulls, or bulls without a four inch or longer antler point stemming from the lower half of either main beam. In effect, it transfers the legal kill to bull elk that are older than two years of age.
The idea behind a brow-tined bull season is to give spikes (1.5 year old antlered bulls) another year to grow and wise up before they are legal to hunt. It has proven to be a popular regulation in several areas of Montana. And, it is often touted as the cure for whatever problems may be ailing elk populations and hunters.
Are brow-tined bull seasons the magic elixir for elk hunting, or merely snake oil? Well, the answer depends on whom you ask and which circumstances you're talking about. Let's talk about the Seeley Lake area, and good old Hunting District 285. For as long as there has been elk hunting in HD 285, it has been legal to kill any antlered bull during hunting season, including spikes.
If you hunted for bull elk in Hunting District 285 in the past two years, it would be easy to conclude that there aren't any. And, you would be partially correct. The winter of 1996-97 claimed many more calves than normal, which severely reduced the number of spike bulls in the population during the fall of 1997. This effect lingered through the 1998 hunting season, and was expressed in low numbers of raghorns, or two year old bulls.
As if that were not enough, the stress of that hard winter on pregnant females also affected the next calf crop, born in the spring of 1997, which severely reduced the number of spike bulls in 1998. With the two youngest - and dumbest - age classes of antlered bulls severely reduced in numbers by that one harsh winter, the hunting season of 1998 was rock bottom for most elk hunters in HD 285.
Expect this to turn around in 1999. Although numbers of two year old bulls will remain low (as the poor calf crop of 1997 passes through the raghorn stage), we should expect a strong increase in numbers of spike bulls in 1999. We'll be able to test this forecast later this winter, when we count calf elk on the Game Range.
Throughout this temporary phase of gloom and doom, however, a ray of light has been shining. The number of bulls aged three years and older has been increasing. In fact, a record high of 67 "older" bulls was accounted for on the Game Range last winter (after hunting season) during the annual helicopter survey, and a total of 111 antlered bulls of all ages was documented. This doesn't include the bulls that didn't make it down to the survey area during the mild winter.
This increasing trend in numbers of older bulls is not surprising when you add up all the factors that have come into play during the same time period. We've experienced some difficult weather and hunting conditions that have favored elk more than hunters in recent hunting seasons. There have been more road closures, some of which were prescribed for elk security, and others that were imposed for different reasons. Hunters have been prohibited from shooting easy bulls on the Game Range with their HD 282 permits since 1990. At about the same time, hunters with antlerless elk permits were prohibited from shooting a bull in the district where that permit is valid. These and other factors in combination surely exert quite an effect on bull survival that we can actually measure every winter in our helicopter surveys.
Do we have a problem with bulls in Hunting District 285? I would say that we do not, if we're able to bring this year's calf crop through the winter, and if the next hard winter is another couple of years away.
Would a brow-tined bull season make things even better? Maybe yes, but at a lot slower rate, and at higher cost, than some hunters might think. We have good enough data to make a pretty realistic projection.
In an average winter, we count 184 calves (7-8 months old) on the Game Range. Of those, roughly half are males, which gives us 92 spikes at the start of the following hunting season. According to Mark Hurley's study of 43 radioed bulls in the HD 285 area, roughly 41% of the spikes will be killed by hunters in the traditional "any bull" season. So, if we have a brow-tined bull season instead, we might expect to save 38 spikes that would have been lost otherwise. So far, so good.
However, a certain percentage of the saved spikes will be lost to illegal harvest. In the Elkhorn Mountains near Helena, a study of radioed bulls revealed a 40% rate of illegal spike harvest under the branch-antlered bull season that was instituted there in 1986. By accounting for expected illegal harvest, the number of saved spikes in our example is reduced from 38 to 23.
If we expect these saved spikes to become old-aged bulls, they must survive the next hunting season, when they are two year old "raghorns." Hurley's data indicates that two year olds may be killed at a 60% rate. Two year old bulls are the teenage boys of the elk population, always on the move and somewhat more prone to making serious mistakes in judgment. By applying Hurley's data to our example, only nine of the spikes we saved would be expected to survive to see their third birthdays.
We haven't even discussed accidental deaths, predation, effects of weather and other natural factors. It's no wonder that brow-tined bull seasons work very slowly, over many years, to make any measurable improvement in numbers of three year old and older bulls.
Personally, I'm concerned about the cost of these modest improvements, particularly in a situation like we have around Seeley Lake where our problems with bull survival appear to be under control. Even after hunters have had several years to adjust to brow-tined bull seasons, intolerable numbers of spikes are still found abandoned in the mountains, killed mistakenly by people who reacted too quickly and couldn't face the consequences of their decision to pull the trigger. Do we need to introduce this problem in the Seeley Lake area in order to manage bull elk? With an increasing trend in numbers of older bulls, I would suggest we do not.
Accordingly, FWP is not proposing any changes in elk hunting seasons for HD 285 in 1999. But, these and other FWP tentative recommendations are open to public comment in the coming months. I hope you'll attend our meeting at the Seeley Lake Community Center on January 12.

Distributing promotional emails like newsletters and advertisements to your customers is a truly cost efficient way to strike your brand in their minds for the moment they are ready to buy your product or service.
Email marketing can help businesses stay in touch with present and future customers. But there is a huge difference between adding people to your email contacts list and running an email marketing campaign that drives traffic to your website and produces sales.
But with never-ending amount of spam hitting in-boxes and many businesses struggling for the reader's attention, you must get it right if you want to become successful in your email marketing campaign.
Here are seven reasons that make your email communications unreliable:
1. Your campaign is not well planned: There is a word for weakly designed email campaigns, usually they are known as spam. A successful email marketing campaign should be carefully planned and reliable with other activity on your website and social networks. Timing and constancy is essential for an effective e-mail.
2. Awful topic: Definitely, selecting a dependable, pertinent and advanced topic is no assurance of success. Your email topic surely has to be proficient on its own. Email marketing campaigns are often used to improve a deteriorating or useless product. Your e-mail marketing campaigns ought to put your best efforts; not grasp sales out of your nastiest performance.
3. You are not scrubbing your email lists regularly: If your e-mail marketing efforts fail to remove any hard bounces, then remove them from your contacts list instantly. Continuing to mail to completely closed email accounts will give a pretty big hit to your sender score and get you blacklisted by a lot of major e-mail clients. It is much easier to keep a high sender score than trying to improve a poor score.
4. Not optimizing email for mobile devices: If you completely overlook the fact that most of the emails get opened on a Smartphone and do not optimize your email for mobile device, then you could get that your email marketing metrics fall continuously. Images, content, and design in your email must open on mobile phones.
5. Unproductive landing page: If you still get click-through for mail, you need to make sure that you can change them into leads. When you are building e-mail marketing campaign the usual thing to do is to concentrate on the email. Unluckily that often means your website's landing page ends up as a late addition. The email copy should be made on the subject line and the landing page must be created on to email copy. If people arrive at a landing page that is just a repeat of the email, why should they stay there?
6. Failing to take follow-up: E-mail marketing campaigns do not sell anything on their own. All they do is open the door for your product's promotion. Your sales team needs to draw customer through it, i.e. follow-up. Based on the product, the customer and your own plan, you will moreover call or get in touch with leads straightforwardly soon after they turn into a lead. Open rates, click-through rates and leads are essential for every email marketing campaign's success. With no increase in sales they are worth nothing to your company.
7. Do not welcome new list members: Greeting new members is not just a friendly signal; it is a prevailing way to set expectations. Let them personalize their e-mail settings as a type of progressive profiling, and allow them to know what they can wait for in terms of your e-mail plan.
Therefore, if you try to overcome all these issues, then properly organized and well written messages that point to well-built landing pages with good follow-up will hardly ever fail.
