hmm horns or one of those weird zigzag spiked bits on the back of the head
It dosnt hav enough "mix" into it.
first of course u should continue second, i belive its a little scarce in body detail
maybe the fact you forgot where you left off? the part when kirby n all that were surrounded by those other guys and it looked almost imposable for escape?
Eyes: One angry red eye and one calm blue eye(Like the eyes above.)
The eyes are too....well....innocent I think.
Too much Gkirby. Please add a little more ekirby into the pic.
I definitely want you to continue and I'm with BatsCargo6, One red eye and one blue I would make it look a lot more unique.
Maybe Shading... That might be it.
Purple outline for sure, but one red eye and one blue eye would make it even more unique!
some kind of acsesery like... a broken heart charm
Maybe one of her eyes looking eKirby-like? She looks too gKirby. c:
Maybe one of her eyes looking eKirby-like? She looks too gKirby. c:

Hm. Possibly, if the halo was red or if she... Well... It looks great the way it is. I'm sure no opinion will change this cool poster.
Yeah,i'll miss you all on dA i got reported and i won't be back until 2013
I don't know what else to say. It just looks completely epic.
I would say add shading. It would look sooo amazing x3
Make one eye red and the other blue??? Also, eKirby does have the crescent on her mane, right? You could probably put half of that on Kirby's mane.

Yes, you should continue part 4! I think you should add some shading, a background, and add the mark that is on eKirby's chest, but make it really light and faded because it's half and half.
To the first part, i think it could use shading?

Year of Faith
The Evangelizing Power of Eucharistic Adoration
More recently our parish has started offering a monthly "Festival of Praise," which is centered around a meal and an hour of Eucharistic Adoration. Prayer teams are available to pray with participants, and we offer confession whenever possible. After our very first festival, a senior citizen came up to me in tears and told me that is the first time she felt the presence of the Lord in her heart.
During a procession our deacon stopped in front of a six-year-old boy, holding the Eucharist out to him. The deacon was about to move on but sensed he should stay a few moments longer. The boy, named Joseph, held out his hand to the monstrance with a look of wonder. Afterward, I asked Joseph what had happened and he said, "I was tired of holding my candle so I was glad that I got to put that down. Jesus came over to me and he told me that he loved me and that made me happy."
Jesus speaks to, converts, blesses, and transforms us through his True Presence. We have also added thirty minutes of Adoration to our First Communion retreat. I have found that the children, more so than the adults, get it. They want to be there. As a catechist I see it as the fulfillment of my duties: to bring them to Jesus, get out of the way, and allow Jesus to love them.
Cardinal Burke again states: "The Holy Eucharist is an incomprehensible gift of God's love which fills us with gratitude and with the desire to make this most wonderful gift, our Lord Jesus Himself, known to all our brothers and sisters. If, as is true, the Holy Eucharist is the source and summit of the Church's life, the Holy Eucharist is also the source and summit of the Church's mission in the world" (Divine Love Made Flesh, 178). I have spoken to youth ministers who believe that teens won't like Adoration because it isn't fun enough, and I've reassured them that through Adoration and the experience of the True Presence of Jesus, those teens (and all of us) are becoming disciples of the Lord.
In Evangelization we are tasked to proclaim Jesus Christ. Is there any more powerful way this side of the Parousia than proclaiming Jesus through the Eucharist?
Adam Janke, MA (Franciscan University of Steubenville) is a parish director of religious education and youth minister in Michigan. He also serves as the volunteer Vice President for St. Paul Street Evangelization. He lives in Dansville, MI with his wife and four children.

so I was just reading a really old post from some girl that was freaking out about getting a catheter during labor (I feel the same way) but then I just thought to myself.... a small tube in the urethra compared to an 8lb baby coming through the vagina and laughed to myself... I guess theres bigger worries than having a catheter put in lol.
do you only get a catheter if you get an epidural??
and does demerol work just as good on pain as an epidural?

Michigan Stadium Construction Tour
Brian and I toured Michigan Stadium with assorted members of the media, and all we got was this
stupid t-shirt photo gallery:
Also, we got some details:
- Both the suites and the club seating are reserved to about 70% capacity.
- The suite have their own indoor concourse with air conditioning. The suites themselves are also air conditioned.
- The new press box will have seating for 224 reporters.
- Michigan Stadium was down to 106,201 seats last year (from 107,501), making it the second-highest capacity stadium in the country (though more people strolled through its gates than #1, Penn State's Beaver Stadium). When the new structures are complete for the 2010 season, capacity will be around 110,000.
- Over the next few years, the aisles will be widened in phases. Final capacity of just greater than 108,000 will be reached in about the 2013 season.
Practice/Press Conference Notes 8-26
Every time Rich Rodriguez meets with the media, he is inundated with a thousand questions about the quarterback situation. Today was no different. Rodriguez reiterated all three quarterbacks will see some time in the opener, and the schemes may be slightly different for each signal-caller. "We have an idea in mind as far as what plays each guy runs well, which ones they execute well," he said. Denard Robinson and Nick Sheridan are unlikely to have the same portions of the playbook available to them. As far as playing time, there's nothing set in stone yet, but the staff plans to use each QB in meaningful minutes—for the first time in Rodriguez's coaching career.
While performance on the field will play a role, the staff isn't going to be quick to hook an unproductive quarterback. "It's not going to be pulling in and out based on just one play or how well they play on one play," Rodriguez said. "There could be a guy in one play then out, but it wouldn't be a constant thing."
Clearly, Rodriguez doesn't buy into the adage "If you have two quarterbacks, you have none." [Editor's note: adage says nothing about three.]
The team's first chance to play in the Big House comes this Friday. "It's not really a full scrimmage because it's not live... Getting accustomed to the stadium, where they stand on the sidelines and all that, we'll do that Friday afternoon."
Other notes:
- Jason Olesnavage is leading the kicker competition for now, but it won't be settled (along with the rest of the depth chart) until next Thursday.
Brandon Herron and Craig Roh are neck-and-neck to be Stevie Brown's backup at the Spinner-ish position[Editor's note: no, that ain't right. Revised bullet follows.]
- Craig Roh is Brandon Herron's backup at deathbacker.
- Brown's backups are "two true freshmen." Rodriguez didn't specify who but it's easy enough to deduct with Isaiah Bell enduring some sort of injury. The backups, then, are Brandin Hawthorne and Mike Jones.
- Michael Williams and Troy Woolfolk are physical for safeties, despite a slightly smaller stature. Williams, however, needs to remember to wrap up after going for a big hit.
- Michael Shaw has worked to improve his physical play and his ability to contribute in the passing game.
- The team is holding onto the ball better than last year, but they'll need to prove they can continue that in games.
Your Preseason Blogpoll
Your chalky top ten:
|Florida (99)
|Southern Cal
|Ohio State
|Penn State
|Virginia Tech
|Oklahoma State
Florida got 99 of the 101 first place votes, and the two that didn't rest gently on the Tebow Child's ticklish nose were handed out in polls that either ranked the whole thing on schedule strength and only schedule strength or voted Utah #1 because that's where they finished last year(?).
You will, however, note that the blog-folk managed to exclude potential flash-in-the-pan Ole Miss from the top ten. It wasn't by much—they're #11—but a three spot difference in a preseason poll represents a fairly large difference of opinion.
The rest of the wonder can be found at CBS Sports. Roundtable #1 comes up Monday on Hey Jenny Slater.
Let's Just Put Delaware State In The Big Ten
I hope Jim Delany was as horrified at this development as Indiana bloggers ("absolutely disgusted") and yrs truly were:
The November 20, 2010 game between Penn State and Indiana will switch locations from Indiana's campus in Bloomington, Indiana to [The Stadium Formerly Known As Jack Kent Cooke] in Landover, Maryland. [TSFKAJKC] is home of the NFL's Washington Redskins.
The stadium in question is about four hours from State College. It's eleven hours from Bloomington. Indiana just sold a home game for three million dollars. And Penn State got one for free.
This sort of thing has a long tradition in college football—Michigan State didn't play a home game in their series against Michigan until 1948 and didn't start equitable home and homes until a decade later—but died out at about the same time segregation did. And nobody wants to bring that back, hmmmm? [/sportstalkradio argument]
Let's stipulate that schools have the right to do whatever they want with their nonconference schedules. The effect on the rest of the conference is minimal there, mostly limited to "you scheduled who and they did what to you?" Feel free to insert your favorite recent humiliation there: The Horror, Iowa State, USC, Louisiana Tech, etc.
Once we start talking about conference schedules, though, people have a right to bitch. Every team is playing for a conference championship. The schedules need to be as equitable as possible. Yes, playing eight games against ten opponents naturally inserts some wobble in average schedule difficulty. Creating protected rivalries enhances that. (Would you rather be Michigan State (Penn State and
Ohio State Michigan [ed: whoops lol] every year) or Purdue (Northwestern and Indiana).) But in both cases everyone has agreed to the potential imbalance and decided that the alternative—years without The Game or I-AA snackycakes—is worse.
Not so with Indiana's decision to sell a home game, which benefits exactly one team, has been approved by no one, and compromises the integrity of the league schedule. It also sets a dangerous precedent. No Big Ten team has been so craven since balanced schedules became commonplace. A rundown:
- Michigan State, Penn State, Iowa, and Minnesota have never scheduled a neutral site conference game.
- A few teams did so back in the stone age but not since. Michigan hasn't played a neutral site conference game since they lost to Northwestern 2-3 in 1925, and that was in Chicago. Illinois played home games against Ohio State in Cleveland in 1944 and 1942. Purdue did the same in 1943.
- A few teams have moved games to neutral sites without giving up at least the appearance of a home game. Indiana played a neutral site game against Penn State in 2000 and against Illinois in 1984, both in Indianapolis. (They did sell a home game to Northwestern, also in 1925. Northwestern won 25-0, their only win of the season.) Ohio State moved a 1991 home game against Northwestern to Cleveland. Northwestern has a fair number of games listed as "@ Chicago, IL," which Evanston is basically a part of.
- Aaaand there's one bizarre outlier I didn't remember: Wisconsin gave up a home game to play Michigan State in Tokyo in 1993.
That's it. No modern-era Big Ten team has ever agreed to move a conference game to a location almost three times closer to the road team than the "home" team. No one has ever moved a conference game out of state with the freakish exception of that Tokyo game. Even that game was a decidedly neutral site, which TSFKAJKC will most definitely not be in 2010.
The Big Ten should shoot this down, and do it soon. This is the I-A equivalent of forfeiting a conference game so you can get paid by Michigan. Insert some bylaw that says any attempt to move a conference home game out of state or to a point that's closer to the nominal road team than the home team must be approved by the league first, and look very sternly at the Indiana administration when you do.
MGoPodcast 1.1: Season Preview With Matt Hinton
So one of the cool things about engulfing Varsity Blue is absorbing their technical know-how, and one of the products of this process are eggs. I mean podcasts. Forget I said anything about eggs, which I have definitely not implanted into your necks.
Anyway: MGoBlog plans a weekly podcast this fall and possibly into the spring. Our first show is now. Tim and I talked with Matt Hinton, AKA Doctor Saturday, nee Sunday Morning Quarterback, about Michigan's upcoming season, the Big Ten landscape, and then Tim and I just talk to each other about how skeptical we are about Obi Ezeh. Be sure to count the times I try to talk over Matt like a n00b.
The show checks in at around 30 minutes. We're looking for show and guest ideas in the comments or the ol' inbox; next week we'll talk with Ball State blog Over The Pylon about Western Michigan and probably the Cardinals' addiction to former Lloyd Carr assistants. I mean, I'm guessing it will come up, right?
It look's like you don't have Adobe Flash Player installed. Get it now.
MGoPodcast 1.1: 2009 season preview with Matt Hinton
Brian - I had two questions:
1) Come opening day, do you think the fans will boo Sheridan if and when he walks onto the field (assuming the game close)? Also, do you think RR will take this into account in his decision when allocating playing time among the QBs?
The second question is much easier to answer: no, Rodriguez isn't taking the opinion of random fans just asking for an empty water bottle to zing over their heads into account. If he is we have bigger problems than the potential a walk-on starts this year. As far as whether a hypothetical Nick Sheridan start will cause boos to rain down… I don't know. I wish I could dismiss that out of hand but after last year I can't. I don't think it would happen right away, but if Sheridan starts and they go three-and-out a few times Michigan Stadium will be 100% discontent and 30-40% booing vociferously.
However, I still think that's highly unlikely and made more so by the recent burst of Denard Robinson hype that sees folks tagging posts "not denard" when they aren't about Denard.
2) I'm not sure if this has been talked about in the blog at all but is there any concern that RR doesn't have much of a coaching tree underneath him despite being a HC for a decent amount of time? Meaning, is he just surrounding himself with friends who will remain loyal rather than talented coaches that aspire to move up the coaching ladder and can get the best out of their players. I say this because of the "fundamentals" issue you had with the Purdue UFR from last year when our corners were opening their hips towards the sidelines and basically giving up 15 yards at a clip when you mentioned that they were "coached" to do this.
-Jim Dudnick
I don't think Rodriguez has had much of an opportunity to grow a coaching tree. He spent seven years at West Virginia but the bulk of that time WVU was not the sort of power program that has its assistants picked off. Even when it was people were understandably waiting to see whether the spread 'n' shred was just a flash in the pan. There were only a couple years in which members of Rodriguez's staff were seriously considered for jobs. At that point Butch Jones did land the Central Michigan job. And I guess Bill Stewart is technically another branch, if one likely to be short-lived.
The circumstances conspired against Rodriguez: his teams ran an exotic base defense headed by a guy who liked West Virginia so much he stayed there when Rodriguez left. Calvin Magee is an offensive coordinator under a head coach who is widely known as an offensive innovator and playcaller. Also, he's only been an offensive coordinator for four years. If he got hired during his tenure at West Virginia whoever picked him up would be taking a huge chance on a guy without much of a track record.
Usually coaching trees sprout up from coaches in the midst of long tenures at power programs; Rodriguez will probably have one at some point. Just not yet.
Hello Brian,
I am FINALLY getting to travel up (yes I live in the horrible state below Michigan) for a game (the Indiana game to be exact) and I am wondering if you could give me any help on where would be my best bet for parking and/or what to expect in general. I have waited over 20 years to make it to a game at the Big House and instead of being completely stoked now I'm busy concerning myself with parking, the trip, etc. Any help you can offer would be extremely appreciated. I've googled it and found out that all the parking lots near the stadium are permit parking only so I'm just trying to figure out where my best option is.
Tim Garven
I'm not the best person to ask because I just go to the same place I always go, but whenever I go on the road I find the best idea is to just suck it up and give someone some money. You'll find that every lawn within a mile of the stadium will allow you to park on it for a nominal fee, and usually this will provide ample tailgating space for your needs. If you're just a small group and don't mind shelling out $40, the golf course is widely regarded as one of the nicest tailgating spaces in the Big Ten.
Head to the stadium an hour before the game to catch the warmups and band; you can bring in bottled water; you are advised to hit the bathroom beforehand.
As for postgame activities: there's not much close to the stadium. If you've got your car somewhere you can leave it your best bet is to walk to main street and head north, whereupon you will strike the restaurant/bar heart of Ann Arbor. Suggestions: Prickly Pear and Middle Kingdom, which are just north of William. If you go to Prickly Pear be advised that though buffalo meat sounds like a good idea, it's not. If you're staying overnight go to Angelo's in the morning and get something with hollandaise on it.

She wants a cell phone and I told her to walk around to all the neighbors houses and ask them to do chores and clean for $ if she can pay the bill she can have it.
As soon as she is 15 and she can start a legal job then she will be working after school to save for her first car.

A draft of the policy states that, "Works created by employees and/or students specifically for use by the Prince George's County Public Schools or a specific school or department within PGCPS, are properties of the Board of Education even if created on the employee's or student's time and with use of their materials."
seems to rightfully indicate that the proposed policy i...overbroad, full of loopholes, and does not properly address the concerns of those involved.
"The Board pulled the policy because it was overly broad."

Brantley Gilbert Learning Hand Signals to Help Deaf New Puppy
Brantley Gilbert first let us know about his adorable new fur baby last month, and in that time, he's learned a lot about Sylo.
Brantley Gilbert first let us know about his adorable new fur baby last month, and in that time, he's learned a lot about Sylo.
The first-ever Taste of Country Tropical Nights concert in the Riviera Maya included four top-notch country singers, a lot of sunshine, ample amounts of food and drink and a ton of gorgeous photo opps. Dierks Bentley, Jana Kramer, Billy Currington and Brantley Gilbert each headlined one night of the Feb. 23-27 party at the new Hard Rock Hotel, and it's clear the experience is one that will have fans buying return trips to Mexico next winter.
What do you drink when you can have any drink you can order? Why not salute the Boots in the Sand performers by enjoying the signature drink from their home state. These magnificent mixes will have you wearing a lamp shade like a sombrero at Boots in the Sand this February.
It can get lonely on the road, but man's best friend can be a great traveling companion!
Brantley Gilbert is no stranger around Music City these days, but before he took the plunge and moved to Nashville, he was pretty skeptical -- the singer admits he kept his distance intentionally.
Winter blues got you down? Don't bother lying. It's miserable out there. Wouldn't it be better if you were in, say, Rivera Maya, Mexico? The same place where, from Feb. 23-27, four major country music stars will be invading the Hard Rock Hotel? Instead of watching The Weather Channel, wouldn't you rather be drinking pina coladas while watching live performances from Dierks Bentley, Billy Currington, Brantley Gilbert and Jana Kramer?
Again, don't bother lying, because that is everyone's most awesomest dream. Lucky for you, rooms are still available. And they're absolutely affordable.
After three rocking decades (plus three years), Motley Crue is calling it quits, having just announced their final tour. The silver lining in this news is that country's Big Machine Records is paying tribute to the rockers with a 'Country Music Tribute to Motley Crue' album, and they're pulling in Florida Georgia Line, LeAnn Rimes, Brantley Gilbert and Cassadee Pope to help.
BG Nation, it's the moment you've all been waiting for! Brantley Gilbert has a brand new single, and now he's announced his headlining 2014 Let It Ride Tour dates.
There's an art to giving a great interview, and not every country star has mastered it. In fact, most fall somewhere between guarded and nervous when they pick up the phone or agree to talk about their lives and music face-to-face. That holds a singer back, but it's an obstacle that can be overcome, as Brantley Gilbert has proven.
The two competing sides of Brantley Gilbert's personality make him one of the more fascinating artists walking around Nashville. He's a rebel who writes his own rule book on and off stage. He's also a sensitive songwriter, willing to reveal his broken heart or darkest memories to a room full of beer-swilling fans.
Brantley Gilbert's 'Bottoms Up, the first single from a new album, has a music video to go along with it, which can be outlined in two key elements: moonshine and beautiful women.
Country bad boy Brantley Gilbert finds that sweet spot between rowdy and romantic with his new single 'Bottoms Up,' the first from his upcoming sophomore album for Valory Music Co. Mid-tempo or 'rock-lite' is how one could describe this track, but the word "chill" best illustrates the mood the Georgian was going for.

This soap is awesome. I found a pack of three bars at the dollar store for three bucks. It is an incredibly safe and natural product, so you don't have to worry about nasty chemicals. It lathers up really nicely in the shower, and it has an extremely refreshing and clean scent. It smells exactly like a bar of soap should. :-) This may be TMI but I've felt like I am a little smellier than normal lately since I switched to all natural products… I can't seem to find an all natural deodorant that works. However, when I use this product, I noticed that the BO is kept at bay. It's sort of functions like a deodorant soap, at least for me.

I chose Kirks due to it being fragrance free, upon it's first use on my face the rich lather was evident however the burning sensation was too much for me so I stopped using it on my face. I believe this is due to the Lye ingredient it may contain, I will continue to use the bars I purchased on the body as I feel it cleans off the deodorant soap I use normally. Rather inexpensive for a fragrance free soap. I will give it 3 stars.

We love the fragrance free version of this soap, always have it on hand and apparently it is a very popular product as the price has doubled in the last year or so. This is mild, effective no irritating and what soap used to be before the current over scent everything fad.

I love this soap as an every day body cleanser, I even use it to shave. I love oil and glycerin based soaps, I feel they moisturize much better than most name brand moisturizing soaps like Dove and Olay, and are more gentle, and can create a good protecting lather to shave. Kirk's is an inexpensive and readily available option that I can get at Walmart for less than 1$ a bar. It is also very basic with no fragrance, which is a plus for me. I really do like this soap, however, I would never use it on my face, and I also use a feminine ph-balanced wash for my lady parts rather than this.

I have used about 4 bars of Krik's Original Coco Castile - fragrance free soap. I have to tell you the lather is so rich and soft, it sucks you in. You feel like you are pampering and cleansing yourself with something natural and special. It really does rinse clean. We also noticed the strange sensation when the suds got around our noses when washing our faces. For lack of a better description, it was like the suds were somehow getting through to our sinus passage. Very strange light suffocating, allergy feeling. So we stopped using it on our faces immediately, and should have discontinued use right then. But again, that lather and clean supple feeling kept us addicted for a while longer.
UNFORTUNATELY, after a trip to my dr's office about 2 weeks ago, I learned that this special, natural soap is the cause of our red, burning skin, My chest, neck, inner thighs, and "bottom." My boyfriend as well - the unmentionables. NOT GOOD - VERY UNCOMFORTABLE!
If you are sensitive to glycerin or vegetable glycerin there is the problem. The formula was modified. There is more vegetable glycerin and less of the coconut oil. We, like others, noticed the order switch in the ingredients on the package. It may be cheaper for companies to make it this way for mass production since it sells. Bummer! Anyway, I had to use a steroidal cream for a bit over a week- three times a day to relieve the constant itch, burn and rash that was associated with using this soap. It spread with scratching. Important: I also learned, through research of my own, that if you have allergies or sensitivity to some or all of the following as I am, then you should avoid this soap and similar products like "the plague:" fragrant plants/flowers, sulfites (like in red wine, some meds.), peanuts, palm or coconut oils. And if you never used like products before you may not know that you had this sensitivity. Check LIVESTRONG for more information on vegetable glycerin sensitivity, etc. I hope this review, while long, was very helpful.

This is by far my favorite soap! I love how it's made with all natural ingredients and contains coconut oil. I use it on my face (twice daily) and sometimes my body. Of all the soaps/cleansers that I try, I always come back to this one! It lathers/rinses very nicely, and leaves my skin feeling clean and soft. It doesn't make me break out and it seems to help keep my skin in balance. Plus, it's only $1! Great stuff. :-)
8/30/12 Update:
I was almost out of this soap so I bought a few more bars. When I washed my face with it, I noticed a different, somewhat unpleasant smell. I looked at the ingredients and compared with my other bar, and they changed their formula! Instead of reading "coconut soap, water, coconut oil, vegetable glycerin..." it read "coconut soap, water, vegetable glycerin, coconut oil..." : [ I haven't really been using it long enough to tell if if makes any difference, but I still wish they would have kept it how it was :\

Some ups and downs with this one, but I like it in general. I have sensitive skin and prefer to use products with all natural ingredients. This soap is a little harsh but it definately gets you clean. I have extremely dry skin and I tend to use a lot of heavy moisturizers that I get a build up from. This definately helps clean my face of the moisturizers but I don't use this as a daily facial soap (more for the rest of my body and ma hoo ha didn't have a problem with it either). I use this for my face every other day or so to keep a build up away and be blemish free. I couldn't find the fragrance free one and the one I have smells like lemons... almost like lemon scented pine-sol. It says its all natural fragrance but it doesn't smell like it. If I could find it in a local store I would buy the fragrance free one because I do not like the scent of the fragrant one. Otherwise its a decent all natural soap :)
I can't keep using this soap for my body. I think my skin got sensitized to it. Its way to drying and I've never had a soap burn my skin and make it turn red before. It took a while after I put two layers of lotion on for the burning, redness, and itching to subside. I gave the soap to my boy friend since he has no problem and actually prefers this soap. No thanks for me I'm going to try Cetaphil (has great reviews)

I used this as well as the liquid formulation when I decided to find a natural soap to use.
The bar soap version left me with very dry skin and a white residue on my hands after showering. I also ran across a bar or two that caused burning in the privates. My skin was also very dry, even in the summer months when I am usually oily. After some research I found out it had a ph of 9. So I decided to try the liquid soap. Though my skin wasn't as dry, the liquid soap left a residue behind (on my legs especially) that caused my skin to itch. I also tried to use it as a facial cleanser because I have oily facial skin, but it was too drying to for me.
After taking a break from it for a month with Clearly Natural Glycerin soap, I went back to it. Now the liquid version is causing the burn in the privates and my skin is so much drier than it was before that it hurts. I will not use this product again and I would not recommend it for people who are prone to dry skin.

This is so amazing! I really love this style and composition! Congratulations!
I think this is one of the most amazing pix I ever seen! How did you shoot this?
Wow very nice! Keep it up!
Perfect! I was thinking it was a great manipulation, mas but then I realized it's a photo which kind of elevates the whole thing to another level. Really amazing.
Gorgeous! Love the flurry of nature against the rigid structure of a man-made institution. Excellent juxtaposition of order and chaos!! Congrats on a very well-earned DD! ^-^
Yup, that's epic!

I know that a point of any photo is to "stop time" and capture one short moment of our lives, but this one seems to capture the time itself thanks to the watch. At least to me. Amazing shot and a well-deserved DD. Congrats

After many, many long years, my 356 is nearly ready to come home. Not that it is done...no, it isn't. But it is time for me to put my hands back on the project and finish the reassembly myself.
Currently, the car is still at TransporterWerks, where it is getting additional color sanding (incredible looking paint but not a cheap process...), and the front and rear windshield glass is getting re-installed. Some additional undercoating will be added in places I missed years ago or where things were worked on subsequent to my own work, and then a final coat of black paint will be applied to the underbody. I broke down and got a set of red Koni shocks as well, which I'm going to have swapped out for the KYBs...those gas shocks have the front end jacked up like a rally car. I'm guessing that it will be another month or 6 weeks, and then I will have the car flat-bedded to my garage.
I'm getting pretty excited about getting back to work on the car myself. What remains is all mechanical and electrical work, and I have to finish up the C engine as well. I've got to start re-sorting all the parts boxes that are stacked up in my garage...while I kept everything fairly well sorted and ordered through the years, the boxes have now been through 2 moves and I don't know where everything is.

Posted by PracticalReviews on Oct 26, 2013
teeth are another part of our body that we treat much worse because of the modern lifstyle,that's why dentists became so reach lately! first of all Sodium Fluoride toothpaste should be avoided,secondly,Glycerin is good convinient emulsifier but it is also a sugar alcohol carbohydrate called polyols which blocks the cleaners from disinfection against the germs,IMHO baking soda based toothpowder is the way to go. the head of this toothbrush has natural bristles and not nylon which is more harmful for the tooth enamel(which tends to be scratched more easily than we think) then the more delicate natural bristle.the only drawback i can found in this product is that NATURAL BRISTLE LASTS LESS than nylon does but i personally prefer my ENAMEL to LAST LONGER rather than saving a few dollars a year ,though the natural kind seems to be less effective in removing tartar hence the 4 stars....you are welcome to rate & read my other reviews .

The National Labor Relations Board says it will move ahead with lawsuits against Arizona and South Dakota over state constitutional amendments that require secret ballot elections to form unions.
The move comes after weeks of negotiations that failed to reach a settlement between the federal government and attorneys general for the two states.
The agency says the amendments conflict with federal law that gives employers the option to recognize a union if a majority of workers simply sign cards that support unionizing.
Both states say they plan to vigorously defend the changes to their state constitutions approved by voters on Nov. 2.
The agency also had threatened to sue South Carolina and Utah over the same issue. Federal officials say they reserve the right to bring those cases later.

Mr. Paramjit Singh
The prerequisite to designing a great small business website is to know your target audience and its exact requirements. This should be followed by creating separate web pages such as Home Page, About Us Page, Product Page, etc. strategically tailored to meet the goals they are designed for.
Websites where users cannot locate the navigation links easily have high bounce rates; visitors don't want to stay on such websites and more importantly, their chances of returning to such problematic websites are feeble. So design a website that has simple, intuitive navigation for a rich user experience.
The clarity of product images influences the buying behavior. It is advisable to use High Resolution Product Images that show your merchandise with absolute clarity. The impact of attractive images may be a defining factor in converting the visitor into customer.
You must be very judicial in rendering product information on your website. Too little information will not serve the purpose, and excessive detailing may make the site complicated. Present the most important features of your offerings with clarity, conciseness, accuracy, and in an interesting manner.
One of the most important elements in the structure of a website, a Call to Action button prompts the visitor to take an immediate action be it for enquiry purpose or to book an appointment, etc. This is one way you ensure that your visitors remember your business even after they leave the website.
Content is valuable and serves multiple functions. It may be aimed at image building, brand promotion, product/service promotion or simply selling something. Whatever the objective be, your website should have an engaging content that communicates your message effectively. You must not splurge excessive details for that may offset the visitor and, on the other hand, the content should not be too short to be complete.
If your want the visitors to contact you when they visit the website, provide clearly visible contact information through easy points of contact. Strategically place buttons like call to action, request more information, contact forms, or visit your location, etc. to ensure that visitors don't have to search long for options to get in touch with you.
Testimonials bring in credibility factor and instill confidence in the visitors' mind. So, get a testimonial page in your website to influence the perception of those who come to your website. Including success stories can also give great results.
Social media today defies all boundaries and connects people across all countries, communities, industries, etc. If you can enable the visitors to connect with you on popular Social Media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. it gives you competitive edge. Your prospects will be able to learn more about your and connect with your existing customers.

iHerb Customer Reviews
The first product that has reduced bloating and gas
I'm currently taking this after getting amazing results with New Chapter organic B vitamins & mushrooms. I'm switching my supplements to New Chapter as much as I can afford. I have fungal infections (ringworm and candida symptoms) but I do not know if this is helping the immune system or if the bacteria is still alive. They say that over 50% of good bacteria like this dies once it leaves the warehouse and unfortunately this took 4 days to get to me! (And I live the next town over to iHerb and have always gotten my supplements in less than 24 hrs! But iHerb did NOT use the Priority tape to close the box and so USPS treated the package as a 3rd class box!). So I have no clue if this is helping my condition but here is 5 stars for NC quality. Although I love iHerb and and appreciate the discount, I don't think I will buy this one online again. It's money wasted if 90% of the bacteria arrived dead which I think it did.

Embrace The Cold! It's Fun (Right)
Just as Dylan famously sang so long ago, "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows," I don't need a thermometer to know the temperature – or at least what to wear when I venture outside for...
If I ever won the lottery — an unlikely occurrence since I never buy tickets — my principal indulgence would be the acquisition of assorted waterfront properties, where I would store sea kayaks, whitewater play boats, standup paddle boards and other such toys.
That way I'd never again have to strap three kayaks, including an unwieldy 22-footer, onto my 15-foot-long car and drive more than 300 miles to a lake in upstate New York, a bay in Maine or river in New Hampshire.
I would simply call ahead: "Jeeves, prepare the sea kayak for an outing on Muscongus Bay," and when my charter seaplane landed near Port Clyde I'd step off the pontoon into the cockpit and start paddling.
I've had a few misadventures involving roof racks over the years, and wish today's cars still had rain gutters that made it easy and inexpensive to install one-size-fits-all load bars. The modern aircraft-style gutters require an array of rack systems and fit kits, depending on the car model and what you plan to carry.
An ongoing struggle has been lifting a great white whale of a tandem, which weighs nearly 100 pounds, and placing it in the roof rack cradles.
The task is daunting enough for two people, and nearly impossible for one — until I invented and constructed the Fagin One-Man Kayak Hoist, which you can view in the accompanying photographs.
Here's how it works: Using pressure-treated two-by-fours I built a box-like frame that includes two cross beams wide and high enough to drive my car under. You could secure the four corner uprights using cement, but instead I added angle braces and cross pieces that rest on the ground to enhance stability.
I use a cart to roll the vessel beneath the frame and rig two slings with ratcheted pulleys connected to hooks screwed to the bottom of the cross beams.
I then slide the slings beneath both ends of the kayak and start cranking on the pulleys, one at a time, until the boat is suspended about 6 feet in the air. Next, I drive under the boat, get out of the car and lower the kayak into the cradle. Then I secure the boat with straps and bow and stern lines, back the loaded car out and hit the road.
The whole operation takes about 15 minutes. To remove the kayak, I simply reverse the process.
I used the Fagin One-Man Kayak Hoist the other day when loading the tandem for a paddle to Fishers Island, and it marked a sad milestone: the final journey for my 16-year-old Honda Civic hatchback, which has transported me and my boats faithfully for nearly a quarter-million miles. Though the engine still runs like a top rust has permeated the frame and suspension, and my mechanic friend warns me that at any time the whole chassis could crash to the ground.
Sadly, Honda no longer makes a Civic hatchback, so I've had to switch brands to find a comparable compact model that gets great gas mileage and is built low enough so I can continue using my homemade hoist system. I'm not in the business of making product endorsements so I'll leave it at that, except to add that I've never understood why active outdoor enthusiasts insist they need an SUV or off-road vehicle to haul all their gear. Have you ever tried lifting a heavy kayak onto an SUV roof?
I've often carried three long kayaks on my tiny hatchback's roof rack, and once or twice even managed to lash on four, and also have had bikes hanging from a rear rack.
In addition, my compact car has bounced along thousands of miles on dirt roads. I don't want a Hummer or Land Rover capable of tearing over muddy, rocky terrain because except in emergencies vehicles don't belong in the wilderness. Besides, if any of my friends saw me driving one of those behemoths I'd never live it down. It would be like if they came into our house and saw a stuffed moose head on the wall.
One final note: For the most part I paddle, hike and bike close to home. There's nothing eco-friendly about driving hundreds of miles for recreation when there are so many great places nearby.
And, speaking from experience, make sure you double-check those lines before driving off.
Just as Dylan famously sang so long ago, "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows," I don't need a thermometer to know the temperature – or at least what to wear when I venture outside for...
"What did you say the water temperature is?" my buddy Steve Kurczy called out. "Thirty-eight degrees!" "And how long …" He didn't have to finish the question.
Virtually all outdoor enthusiasts, myself included, regard Sir Ernest Shackleton's ill-fated Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition in 1915 as history's most extraordinary survival tale, in which he and his entire crew managed to make it...

After emerging on cross-country skis from protective evergreens into an open field the other day, I pulled on a fleece balaclava as an icy gust whipped across frozen ground and a giant, dark shadow advanced with the lowering sun.
Experienced mountaineers realize that reaching the peak isn't the most important goal of any climb. The fact is, it doesn't count unless you get back down.
By now I'm sure you've noticed, as I have on my regular rambles through the woods, that we're up to our — er, elbows — in acorns.
First of all, it doesn't hurt that much. Really.
I know that a month from now, when I could very well be digging out of my driveway just as I was in the accompanying photo taken last winter, I may have to eat these words, but ... Come on! Where's all the snow?!
You know those adventures you could have experienced but had to pass up for one reason or another, and then when you later ask how it went your friends gush, "Oh, man, it was awesome! Best time of our life! You shoulda been...
Back when my son Tom and I were tagging all 67 of the 4,000-plus-foot mountains in New England, a perverse idea crossed my mind: What if we stopped inches short of each peak and then climbed back down?
The problem with Fitbit, Jawbone Up, Withings Pulse, Microsoft Band and other electronic fitness trackers is that, like so many old-school aids designed to get people off their butts and into shape (workout charts, personal trainers,...
Every season presents the potential for paradise or peril.
While biking through the hills and along the shore of Mystic and Stonington the other day with my friend Spyros "Spy" Barres and son Tom, I began to regret that I neglected to bring along a water bottle.

I started as a comic and have for 30 yrs. performed and written for corporations, which means you have to be able to take constructive criticism...whether it's constructive or not. I recently wrote a childrens book and am working on my first novel.

I am giving it 4 stars, because 5 stars go for all the product's quality considering ingredients, but 3 stars go for its odor, because it is too heavy to my mind. I am using it on my long hair yorkie and it does the job perfectly. It conditions well, eliminating tangles and turns dull hair into shiny. Just as I mentioned, dog hates the smell, it is too harsh. Though I as a human also don't like harsh smells, because I have my perfumes if I want be smelly.

It works for detangling and making the hair a little smoother. I like that it is not too fat.
Works fine, but not as moisturizing as i'd hope

it works fine as a detangler, and i'm not bothered by the smell. The mister works well too. But, it's not as moisturizing as i'd hope it'd be.
not bad.

Learning agreements (LA) are the first step toward completing a knowledge area module (KAM). Complete KAM resources are available here.
Dr. Paula Dawidowicz, a graduate of Walden's KAM program and member of the Education faculty, has shared this checklist with her students. It may help you better understand the key components of a Learning Agreement. You can use it to check if you've got them all. Also take a look at pp. 10-16 of the KAM Guidebook for other LA guidance.
Read about the KAM Learning Agreement Intensive and how it can assist you in writing your LA.
