The Powder Puff Boys
Episode Reviews (4)
Cheery Episode!
This is a pretty good episode. It had a well written plot, was very funny, and Peggy wasn't really annoying (actually she had some of the best lines). I liked the way they had Hank and Bobby feel completely opposite about the situation from what you'd normally think they'd feel, but still stayed true to their characters. Bobby loves comedy, but it kind of makes sense that this isn't really his style, and Hank basically thinks anything is OK in the name of Football. I think it would be interesting to have seen the episode focus more on that then switching gears part way through, although I did enjoy the conflict as I could see the point of view of the PTA lady. Where does the line get drawn between fun and mocking the stereotype of cheerleaders? I thought they wrote that part well. Overall it was a pretty good episode, and Season 12 is off to a great start.moreless
Overall great but it's not one of the best Season 12 episodes I've seen
It's been almost a month since I watched "King of the Hill" on Adult Swim but I changed the channel all bored and saw that this episode barely started so I decided to stick to Adult Swim since I really like "King of the Hill". This isn't one of the best episodes of Season 12 but it was overall great and well written for the most part. The guys asking Bobby to be a powder puff cheerleader was very funny. It was very funny when Hank went to the store with Bobby to buy Bobby a bra for the powder puff cheerleading squad as his fake boobs. Peggy volunteering with the PTA was also an interesting plot but not my favorite. Bobby deciding to be in the powder puff cheerleading squad right when he was about to quit it was also interesting. The PTA didn't want the powder puff cheerleaders because they don't think it's funny until Hank showed the video and told everyone that it was about the boys having fun and making people laugh. The PTA (a.k.a Peggy) agreed to it while the mom of the PTA didn't agree to it. My score was just low because Bobby's plot of being a powder puff cheerleader was a little too weird to me and some parts were boring. Overall, a great episode of "King of the Hill" but not one of Season 12's best. 8/10moreless
Long Live King of the Hill.
"That boy ain't right" is what Hank should have said to Bobby in this episode for dressing up as a girl but I guess it was all in good fun for football. I really liked this one because it showed Bobby in some different situations. This was a good Bobby Hill episode it was funny to see Bobby and Joesph act like girls because it was so out of character. I think the best line was Dale saying and I quote "My son is the Diva". I can't belive that Hank had dressed up as a powder puff when he was younger. Really funny.moreless
Girl of the day!
Booby and his friends go dress up as female cherrleaders who rooting for the girl's football team. Meanwehile someone disapprove of the antics and the PTA has banned them, but Bobby emerged as the leader is fighting back on lipstick at a time. I happen to like the episode. A few years I have given up on the show and counting the days until the end, but I believe that the show has a few ounces of power left. If the show leaves the air after this season, it will be worth it. "King of the Hill " is a fun series.moreless

Fantastic Set for anyone who owns a decent drill
Comment:This set contains probably more sizes then you will ever need but its great to have. The titanium coating and pilot points are great since I can use one bit regardless if i start in wood but have to go through metal as well. By far the best drill bit set I have to date and would absolutely purchase again especially at this price!Doyle

Just an Overnight Stop
This visit was an overnight stop on the way home and a chance to discover a little of Lincoln.
The hotel is well placed for access to the main sights - Cathedral, Castle, Bailgate and Steep Hill shops being close to the top of the hill. The room was nicely decorated with a reasonable amount of storage, though lacking drawer space. The central light was rather bright and not ideally placed. There was a beautiful modern wet room to shower in. We didn't dine at the hotel as we didn't know what we would want when we arrived, but the breakfast next morning was excellent. All the staff were friendly and helpful.

Hillcrest Hotel
We had a large comfortable room overlooking the arboretum.
We did feel that the tea making supplies could be updated,very difficult to make a good cup of tea with a tea bag in a small cup.
The hotel is located in an excellent position for exploring Lincoln, we would stay there again.

Changes for version 0.57
- Honour both $ENV{NO_PROXY} and $ENV{no_proxy} in Net::SSL::proxy_connect_helper. (Bug #29371 reported by Jan Dubois).
- $@ construction used in Net::SSL::connect was messed up, which could lead to sub-optimal error reporting. (Bug #29372 reported by Jan Dubois).
- Ensure no proxification is used in t/01-connect.t (which might be the reason for all the spurious smoke failures). Bug #29373 reported by, you guessed it, Jan Dubois).
- Silence a dubious fopen() warning in SSLeay.xs.
- s/Netware/NetWare/ in Net/SSL.pm platform check
- Improvements to Makefile.PL for dealing with platforms where openssl is installed with ./include and ./lib as sibling directories rather than child directories. This should allow the code to configure and build "out of the box" on Solaris (and probably other proprietary platforms).
- Don't carp in LICENSE key addition code in Makefile.PL

Look, I like Harang a lot, but the guy was my 10th round pick, so it isn't like I'm benching a guy taken in the first few rounds. Bedard is the ace of my staff, and I also have Ervin Santana, B. Myers, Cueto, Billingsley, and had Gallardo. I'm doing alright this year with that staff with a team ERA of 2.99 and WHIP of 1.08. Not too bad for a dumb guy playing the matchups.

"Iowa Republicans have seen their ranks grow dramatically," Strawn said, "and a lot of that growth has come from Tea Party activists who were motivated solely on spending issues."
Barbour thinks that "people are downright scared. Everything seems uncertain, especially the economy."
In his career in the majors, Moses caught Gaylord Perry's spit balls, took batting lessons from Ted Williams, and went to the All-Star Game. He said he will be honored to campaign for Barbour if he runs for president.
"People don't know who Haley is," he said. "When they do, and when they understand what he stands for, they're going … to pay attention to what he has to say."
The Deep South is the one geographical area that has never sent a Republican governor to the White House. Political analyst Isaac Wood believes a "Southern nominee could make more sense for the GOP this year …given the new census count and added electoral votes beneath the Mason-Dixon line."
Yet Barbour said that what defines him is not geography but the values instilled by the mother who raised him and two brothers after his father died, when Barbour was just 2 years old.
"She was with us at every turn, involved in every moment of our lives … in fact, she was the first female president of the Yazoo City booster club for the high school football team," he said.
Barbour said he will decide next month if he is running for president. It's a crowded field, in a competitive year, and many of the potential candidates are his friends.
Still, he wisely has placed feet on the ground in South Carolina, started visiting Iowa and hiring staff in New Hampshire, to see if his message and skills are what GOP voters want.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The Tennessee Democratic Party's executive committee is scheduled to meet Sept. 13 to consider a state Senate candidate's challenge of primary results.
Clarksville attorney Tim Barnes is challenging his 19-vote loss to incumbent state Sen. Rosalind Kurita in last month's Democratic primary. There is no Republican running for the seat.
Kurita, who has served in the Senate since 1996, drew the ire of fellow Democrats by crossing party lines to cast a key vote in favor of Republican Sen. Ron Ramsey's successful bid to become Senate speaker in 2007.
State Election Coordinator Brook Thompson says absentee ballots must be mailed by Sept. 20, so Democrats will have to decide quickly who their nominee for the Senate district representing Cheatham, Houston and Montgomery counties will be.

Tigers activate Alex Avila and option Bryan Holaday to Triple-A
In a series of moves for the Tigers on Friday, they also activated veteran catcher Alex Avila from the 15-day DL and optioned Bryan Holaday to Triple-A Toledo. Batting sixth and starting tonight against the Blue Jays Avila may likely see a somewhat reduced role behind the plate especially against left-handed pitchers.

UCSB, Ohio State to meet in finals
Updated: May 6, 2011, 1:59 AM ETAssociated Press
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- The UC Santa Barbara Gauchos relish the underdog role so much they've proclaimed themselves the Cinderella team of the men's volleyball postseason.
After another upset of top-ranked Southern California, the upstart Gauchos are one more win away from taking on another moniker: NCAA champions.
Cullen Irons and Dylan Davis each had 15 kills and UCSB split a rough-and-tumble first two sets with the powerhouse Trojans before pulling away in relatively easy fashion, ...

"I loved the quality of these cards. Everything came before the estimated delivery date. The cards had envelopes. I would buy from tinyprints again!"
"Although the card is gorgeous and the quality is outstanding when I ordered the card even though I checked for a designer review I received my card and noticed a misspelled word. Granted, I missed it, but so did they. I won't check the designer box anymore because it really doesn't do any good. Disappointed in the customer service/designer review."
"I purchased these thank you cards for my son's first birthday - they turned out better than I expected! I love them! The picture looked awesome, the colors were vibrant, and the paper is a nice weight. These were a great choice!"
"Everyone loved it, went on and on about it and they turned out beautifully. I trusted them to the in house reviewer and they did not let me down. It was fast and easy and convenient! Doing it again right now!"
"I chose this thank you note to coordinate with the Twinkle, Twinkle little star baby shower invitation that we ordered for my daughter's baby shower. Like the invitation, the card is not quite as glittery as I might have wanted even with the pearlized paper, but the website already tells you that so there is no real surprise there, and the paper quality is outstanding! I did find it better to choose white ink for printing the personalization, which is an offered option, so that made it a little brighter. Overall, I just loved the design and am really pleased with the quality of this product as well as the customer service offered by this company."

A new Quinnipiac poll indicates that maybe GOP Senate candidate Rob Simmons's decision to suspend and then restart his campaign wasn't such a good idea:
Former wrestling executive Linda McMahon is pulling away from Rob Simmons and now leads 50 - 28 percent, with 15 percent for Peter Schiff, compared to 47 - 30 percent in an August 4 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University. Today, 7 percent are undecided and 30 percent of those who choose a candidate say they might change their mind.
Quinnipiac also shows a toss-up in the Democratic gubernatorial primary:
The Democratic primary for governor in Connecticut is going down to the wire with businessman Ned Lamont at 45 percent and former Stamford Mayor Dan Malloy at 42 percent, according to a Quinnipiac University poll of Democratic likely primary voters released today
The Connecticut and Colorado primaries are tomorrow.

Edelman, the PR firm, interviewed 5,400 "informed online respondents" in nine developed and emerging countries and found,
China Daily reported
, that Chinese firms had an 83% trust rate in their own country, but could only attract 50% in other emerging markets and a mere 24% in developed markets.
Germany (19%) and France (22%) were among the most disinclined to embrace Chinese companies, while the important US market (26%) was little better.
In fact, respondents in developed markets were more likely to trust South African (31%) or Indian (28%) firms.
Edelman attributed this "trust gap" to a lack of familiarity with Chinese brands and concerns, again especially prevalent in developed markets, that such companies were closely linked to the Chinese state.
Some Chinese businesses have bucked the trend, however, with Lenovo achieving a 72% consumer awareness rating in the US and Air China a 63% rating.
As well as distrusting Chinese companies, there was a marked reluctance among respondents in developed countries to see them entering their own markets: just 33% were willing to see a Chinese company buy a company in their domestic market, and only 38% wanted a Chinese company to get access to their market.
"This is a big problem," said Richard Edelman, president and chief executive officer of Edelman.
"'Branding China' is not helping if Chinese companies want to go global," he added.
A leading brand strategist recently argued that Chinese firms needed to address their weaknesses in branding and marketing if they were to succeed abroad.
David Aaker, vice chairman of Prophet, said most
lacked a history of brand strategy
and management, in part because of current or past state-ownership. In addition, top managers were not trained in marketing and tended to be focused on operations, costs and delivering functional benefits.
And Millward Brown research has suggested that Chinese marketers should
adopt an outward looking perspective
with less reliance on Chinese culture as a selling point.

Intercultural Ministries: The Next Stepping Stone to Diversity in the Church
While the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) continues to be largely European American, there is rapid growth in the church among immigrants and in some racial ethnic congregations. As the church evolves, we continue to explore what it means to worship and live in an intercultural context.
In order to define what it means to be intercultural, we must first understand the fundamentals that led us here – foundations that were laid in multicultural and intercultural communities and ministry.
In multicultural communities we live alongside one another, much like season ticket holders at a sporting event. We sit next to one another and cheer for the same team, sharing a common interest or identifier, standing or sitting side-by-side, at times in isolation of one another. In these communities, we value tolerance and celebrate one another's culturally distinctive cuisine, dress, etc. in a polite social interaction, yet don't necessarily address power differentials and don't always allow for exchange between different cultural groups.
In cross-cultural communities, more effort is made to reach across boundaries. We try to build bridges between cultural communities by sharing, listening learning and being open to changing. Cross-culturalism is distinct from multiculturalism. Whereas multiculturalism deals with cultural diversity within a particular nation or group, cross-culturalism addresses the exchange beyond the boundaries of the nation or cultural group. However, power differentials still may not be addresses, and may only allow for limited learning or exchanges between groups. Cultural differences may be understood, but may also be managed in a way that doesn't necessarily allow for individual or collective transformation.
Moving one step further, we shift to intercultural ministries. In intercultural communities, we find comprehensive mutuality, reciprocity and equality. Justice defines our societal structures, and we find respect, equality, understanding and celebration through mutually beneficial relationships among and between cultures. We find that people from intercultural communities interact with one another and learn and grow together.
As a denomination, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) continues to work to create intercultural communities where everyone can participate fully. Through the work of a the Office of Intercultural Ministries, we will:
- Offer Intercultural competency trainings
- Provide workshops to assist in developing vision and strategic approaches to building diversity
- Identify resources for congregations and individuals
The Racial Ethnic Torch
Summer 2015
In this issue of the Racial Ethnic Torch, we preview Big Tent 2015 and lift up the work that Racial Ethnic & Women's Ministries, and the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) as a whole, is doing as we strive to be more culturally humble. We explore the importance of using inclusive and expansive language, and the impact that power, privilege and justice in our lives and in society, and in our antiracism work.

Vampirella Pinup by TheCosbinatorWatch
©2012-2016 TheCosbinator
A print I made for Supercon of Vampirella.
Very cute!
nice I like it
Wow, i must have a gazillion Vampi comics (and Eeries), huge crush (i can fantacize can't i, i mean i'm an animator (animatrix?) after all. Love your work... Can i rent a room on your DA page? Giggles
Very cool!
Haha, fantasize all you'd like!
I appreciate that, you're more than welcome to stay.
Haha, fantasize all you'd like!
I appreciate that, you're more than welcome to stay.
I found a bunch of Vampirella and Red Sonya comics at Goodwill the other day.
It was a good day.
It was a good day.
Sounds like it!
Sounds like it!
I also found a bunch of Nerf guns at a different Goodwill that same day.
But they don't have sexy comic ladies on them, now do they?
But they don't have sexy comic ladies on them, now do they?
Hehe, naah but Nerf guns are sexy in their own, sneak up on your friends in the middle of the night and blast the hell out of them kinda way.
I got my nieces Nerf revolvers for Christmas as part of my subtle campaign to turn them into huge nerds.
Haha! Quite the devious but notable plan, start showing them Star Wars and playing video games. And you might be successful in your campaign after all!
I love Vampirella, and this is a super cute rendition! If I ever cosplay her I might borrow this version's hair, it's adorable
Hah, borrow away. Would like to see that cosplay!!
Quite the lovely rendition. Love the curves.
Super cute , love the chunkiness
Her pose is so cute! As always, your anatomy is wonderful. Her posture and pose and hands all look really great. In fact, she makes a super cute pinup, but I don't know if she's really a vampirella pinup. Her expression is too soft and friendly and innocent, it looks like a girl cosplaying as vampirella. Maybe make her look a little angier or more lustful, or just straight-up meaner, to get more of the character's personality into the piece.
You make a great point. Maybe I'll re-look at this one again. I REALLY appreciate the feedback!!
Vampirella is eternally hot!
Cute pinup!
I need to read more of her comics
I need to read more of her comics
Nice version of Vampirella. She is my fav of all female comix characters since I was a kid. I like your body proportions in your female characters, too.
Thanks! It's a fun thing to play with. It can look way off if done wrong. And believe me I've done it before hah!
vampy plus-size style!
frazetta would be very proud of ya
frazetta would be very proud of ya
I love her boots
Well, if you were a cartoon. I'd steal them from her and give em to ya ;D
she's never looked so round ^_^
Two thumbs way up

Patient Comments: Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm - Symptoms
What symptoms did you experience with your abdominal aortic aneurysm?
Comment from: Karen, 45-54 Female (Caregiver) Published: August 01
My husband was only 48 when he was found to have a leaking AAA. We had a long wait to find out exactly what the severe pain was because of his age it was misdiagnosed as a kidney stone, diverticulitis amongst others. But thank heavens the aneurysm was discovered before it was fatal. His father had an AAA at 62 so I would say to others to keep nagging for a scan if there is excruciating abdominal pain or possibility of hereditary links. I would like to say cant fault NHS care for resulting treatment of AAA

A month ago my 78 year old Caucasian cousin was laying on the couch watching TV with his hand on his stomach. He felt his heart beating under his hand which he though was odd because it had never been there before. He went to the doctor's office the next day and 2 weeks later had surgery for this a-a-aneurism right near the branch to the kidney. He is recovering now.
Comment from: rosa johnson, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: January 19
In 2004 my sister had an abdominal aneurysm. She was in her 40s. While talking on the phone she suddenly felt intense pain, boring pain in her abdomen. She went to patient 1st clinic after delaying about 6 hours, they were closed. The next morning she went back and white cell count was high so they transferred her to emergency room. Finally she was diagnosed 24 hours after her abdominal aneurism had burst. A blood clot had lodged in her intestines and she lost most of her intestines due to sepsis, miraculously she is still alive today. She has never been healthy since but she is still alive. So if something feels wrong don't delay getting checked out.
Comment from: Blessed, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: August 19
I had a serious pancreas surgery done and was recovering at home. I had been out of the hospital for two weeks. For a couple days, I was not hungry and forced myself to eat for my recovery's sake. In the morning, I had eaten a waffle when all of a sudden I got very nauseous and started throwing up without being able to stop. My sons were going to take me into the hospital, but I knew somehow that that was not going to work, and they called 911. I started vomiting blood in the ambulance. By the time we got to the hospital, my blood pressure was really low and they were having me sign forms for blood transfusions. Within the hour, I had an abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture. I lost 10 units of blood and coded. I am very blessed to be here telling my story, hoping to save someone else. Instead of surgery, they used these coils that they put into the artery to close it off, and it worked. It took seven coils. If you feel as if there is something not right, there is nothing wrong with getting a doctor to look at it. It's better to be safe than sorry. It's been seven weeks, and I am getting stronger every day.
Comment from: big dave, 45-54 Male (Patient) Published: July 20
I have been swelling just below my navel on my left side. I have had extensive lower back pain on both sides of my spine. I went in to have an MRI of my lower back and they told me I may have an aneurysm. I think a blood clot could have broken loose from a previous ankle sprain and has traveled up my leg and lodged in the aorta. I'm awaiting my CT scan results as I type. Hope I catch it before it ruptures.
Comment from: cherylanne, 75 or over Male Published: July 12
On 14th March this year, my father woke with pain in his groin and abdomen. This then moved to his lower back. He became concerned and called 911 and was taken to A&E dept. He was listed as having abdominal pain (why didn't they recognize the symptoms?) and made to wait on a trolley for 2 hours because the unit was busy. The aneurism finally ruptured and all hell broke loose with Nurses and doctors everywhere. Unfortunately it was too late and dad didn't survive due to massive blood loss. We were not aware he had this or we would have insisted on a scan when he was admitted. Please make a noise and don't allow this to happen to your loved one!
Comment from: cookies, 65-74 Male (Patient) Published: March 10
My aneurysm was discovered in August of 2010 by accident after a CT scan for a different condition. They immediately referred me to a surgeon who scheduled another CT scan in November of 2010. The results showed the size to be 5.5 cm. After discussing with my surgeon, we scheduled another meeting in February of 2011, and he ordered another CT scan, which I had done yesterday. My next meeting with my surgeon will be in a week. He will have the latest results of my CT scan and from all the research I've done on the web. I'm certain surgery will be scheduled. My son-in-law is a physician, so I asked him to evaluate the surgeon I've been seeing. He gave him very good references. All the other research I've done has given me confidence in his ability to be "my surgeon." I'm looking forward to getting this over with so I can continue my strength and conditioning exercises at the YMCA. I'm 69 years old and want to stay young as long as possible, but it is what it is.

Entrepreneur: David Karp, 22
Funding: $5.25 million from Union Square Ventures, Spark Capital, Betaworks
Somewhere between full-throttled blog software, such as WordPress, and minimalist microblogging tools, such as Twitter, lies Tumblr. New York native David Karp introduced Tumblr in 2007, using money and experience he'd acquired as a software consultant for online parenting site UrbanBaby. Tumblr has attracted 800,000 users, including pop music stars Katy Perry and John Legend, who use the free service to keep an online journal of photos, videos, music, and text. Karp says $4.5 million raised in December gives Tumblr plenty of money to stay focused on attracting users. But he expects the company to generate revenue this year by customizing its platform for big media companies and by charging regular users who want extra services, such as more visibility for their pages.
Lessons learned: "Most of the good decisions I've ever made I can credit to the smart people around me," Karp says. "My role models and my mentors have made a lot smarter decisions than I have."

Social Media: Collaboration, Networking, Sharing
However, the introduction of social media into corporate IT infrastructures has also brought challenges, including the impact of social networks on business and IT, the need for effective governance policies, and the need to meet legal requirements and protect both reputation and intellectual property, while embracing the flexibility of social media tools.
This paper brings together experiences and insight from 40 senior IT professionals working in organisations from retail to financial services, local and central government. They represent an annual IT spend of £5.8 billion and employ nearly 700,000 staff.
- The role of the community manager is to act as a champion, and drive content, although this person doesn't need to be an expert in communications or social media.
- Social platforms will grow organically to an extent but if an organisation wants to see universal adoption, there needs to be a clear strategy, owned by the business, and supported by IT.
- Engagement relies upon employees being able to see benefits, but also feel ownership of the social media platform.
- Cultural change must be considered alongside technology, as there may well be resistance to 'sharing' in many organisations.
- Providing ROI is less of a priority if organisations begin with inexpensive social media tools, such as the free version of Yammer.
- Focus on engaging senior users and influential users who will share their knowledge on social media to deliver benefits and 'show and tell' success stories.
- Don't kill the fun - around 15% of social media content may be non-work related but this is crucial in driving engagement and adoption.
