It's so adorable..
Alone TogetherIn the dark there was the echoing sounds of screams. Pete's soles snapped against the decaying lino of the long hallway. The air he gulped tasted musty and sat heavily in his aching stomach. He rounded a corner. What had they fed him; he wondered the thought crashing quickly beneath the need for Joe, Andy and Patrick. The names repeated, a name for a step; Joe, Andy, Patrick. He twisted as he ran; the hallway behind him was empty. They couldn't be far behind. He squeezed the gory hook in his hand and kept going.Alone Together by Seraph5
"Come on, come on, fuck! Come on!" he snarled under his breath, the shouts of horror in the hallways sounding no different, giving no clue of direction. He could hear Joe and Andy but Patrick's voice had vanished. The building was a maze. He gagged fighting to hold his pace and keep his stomach down. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a pair of frosted glass doors, different from the endless parade of dingy wooden doorways before. He trie

I remember when I first asked you out. I was to nervous to spit the question out, but you got what I meant and said yes.
I remember our first kiss. It was so soft and gentle, like we had to keep nice or it would all go away.
I remember our first time. We were both nervous as hell and had no idea what to do. But that was what made it the best sex ever.
Bust most of all, I remember the first time I held your pale hand in mine. You said you were cold, so I gave you my jacket. A few minutes later, you were rubbing your hands together. I gently grabbed your hand and held it mine. It was so cold I was afraid it was going to get frost bite.
I continued to hold your hand until we got to your house. I didn't want to let go, but you said I had to.
Oh, Tricky, I just want to hold your han

It had been a long time since such unrest had infected the inhabitants of Base 5. The fear was carried from one person to another like a virus spread with words. They had heard a lumen had been captured and brought into the base, their last haven. It was a dangerous move and while the decision had not been made lightly, they resented it. The leader of the resistance in Base 5 went to meet the hunting team halfway to the holding cell. He waited in the empty hall that had been cleared for the creatures passing. He watched the lights that lit the metallic grey corridor, every third one red to warn of the danger in the area. His right hand hung on the holster on his hip, which did not carry a gun but instead carried a large flashlight. It wasn't long before a hunting team of four rounded the corner, dragging with them the lumen. The team all dressed in ragged white stood in stark contrast to the lumen that was all in black. He struggled against the hands t

He strode past the researchers, lifting the box off the shelf and then walked back out the door of the o-room. He stood in front of the holding cell door, turned the small levers on the side of his goggles to reduce the light and slipped inside the holding cell. The lumen stared up at him and ceased pulling on the chains, though a low growl issued from the back of his throat. Patrick stared down at him pausing just inside the doorway. Immediately through the speakers he heard Williams' voice on the microphone that allowed the o-room to communicate with the holding cell.LLW The Resistance Ch1p2 by Seraph5
"Patrick, what are you doing?" she asked, her tone slightly concerned.
"Testing a theory," Patrick said warily, keeping his eyes on the lumen. "Watch him."
"Okay," came Williams' voice and then the speaker went quiet. He couldn't help noticing the reluctance in her tone.

"Dude, wake up!"
Patrick felt light headed as his surroundings rolled in around him like pieces of a set in a play. He sat up and shook his head then looked around wondering if he'd always been there. The place seemed surprisingly familiar and yet had a distinctly fake appearance, like the lounge chairs were made of cardboard. The immaculate carpet was made of sewn wool. The large window panes with sweeping views of landing strips and airplanes were giant TV screens. The song playing on the PA was 'LAX to O'Hare' instead of dull flight times and ads for restaurants in the food courts. Only one thing around him looked perfectly normal and wholly real.
"Pete is it really you?" Patrick breathed dumbfounded. Standing over him looking down was Pete Wentz all in white. He nodded vigorously. His hair was short and he was sporting a beard. His irises were dark with crows feet reaching cheerily outwards. His skin was tanned a

I can do this, Patrick thinks to himself - and he is impressed how he didn't mess up the next verse. He usually gets distracted easily.
And that makes every interaction with him while he is performing, kind of critical- for his patience, most of the time. He isn't a very patient person, even if he looks like the personification of it.
And for years, his annoying best friend slash wingman used to enter his personal bubble of concentration to- yeah.
Patrick attempts to ignore these attacks of affection usually worked. But he was never able to do anything about it. He was too awkward to - respond or to laugh about it. It was Pete after all.

China Survives a Big Year
Noah Feldman, Bloomberg
AP Photo
The year 2012 will go into the history books as one of contrasting transitions. China's five- year cycle for Communist Party congresses and leadership turnover overlapped with the U.S.'s four-year electoral calendar. And if that once-in-20-years coincidence wasn't enough, Egypt's rocky shift from dictatorship to democracy continues to remind us of what transition looks like in the absence of a predictable institutional framework.

@mort - what are you talking about Ferrari being sold off by the government? Fiat, the Ferrari family & Muba Dhala own Ferrari SpA. The Italian government can't sell something it doesn't own.
I do agree with you, however, that Victor has no clue what he's writing about. Vettel has a 3 year contract with the back-to-back constructor champions and Ferrari won't hire him while Alonso is there. Kubica to replace Massa if he's fit, otherwise Perez.

World Headlines
EGYPT—California resident Mark Basseley Youssef, 55 "" the filmmaker responsible for creating "Innocence of Muslims"—was sentenced to death in absentia in an Egyptian court on Wednesday November 28.
The associated press reports that Youssef is among seven Egyptian Coptic Christians and an American pastor sentenced on charges linked to the anti-Islam film.
Charges were brought up in September after public outrage and violence erupted over the film, which was produced by Youssef.
The defendants-- most of whom live in the United States "" were found guilty of harming national unity, insulting and publicly attacking Islam and spreading false information—all chargs carry the death sentence, according to Egypt's official news agency.
In California, Youssef who used the alias Nakoula Basseley Nikoula, was sentenced to one year in federal prison in a California court earlier this month for a bank fraud case and probation violations, according to a report by the Los Angeles Times.

Benefits of Having Shelfs or Shelves
If you live in a big or small house you will need shelfs or shelves to be grammatically correct. Shelves can be used for storage and for decorations.
A decoration shelf is a shelf on which you put ornaments and things of decorative nature on it in your room.
You can install such shelves (shelfs) in your bedroom, in the living room, in the kitchen or even in the bath room. Decorative shelves are prettier than shelves meant for storage.
As your family grows you will find yourself needing more save. To solve this problem or to save space you will need to install shelves in your house. This is even more necessary if you live in a smaller house. Apart from saving space shelves help to keep a house tidy. Items that are not used often can be stored away neatly on shelves in a storage room.
What You Need Shelfs (Shelves) For
There are different types of shelves or shelfs. There are standing shelves and there are wall shelves. Additionally there are wooden shelves, metal shelves and plastic shelves.
Standing shelfs (shelves) and wall shelves generally serve the same purposes. They are either for storage or for decorative purposes. However deciding whether you want metal, plastic or wooden shelfs (shelves) will depend on the load that the shelf will bear and aesthetic values that you want to derive from using the shelf.
For storage of heavier items you can use either wall shelfs (shelves) or standing shelves. However you also need to decide if it is going to be a metal shelf, plastic shelf or wooden shelves. For storage of heavier items a standing metal shelves (shelfs) will be better. A standing wooden shelf is also better than a plastic shelf for heavier items.
For decorative purposes plastic and wooden shelves look better in the living room, the bathroom or even in the bed room. Both wooden shelves and plastic shelves can go on the wall although you can have a free-standing plastic and wooden shelf.
Shelves can also be classified according to the functions they play and where they are used in the house. Thus there are book shelves for storing books and there is a bathroom shelf for bathroom stuff and a kitchen shelf for kitchen items. As mentioned, in this regard the function of the shelf will determine if it is going to be a metal shelf, plastic shelf or wooden shelfs.
If you are going to have a wall shelf you will need to consider the wall on which you are going to install the shelf and the load the shelf will bear. This will determine the type of wall brackets you need for installing the shelf.
Some walls are just dry walls and cannot hold a shelf with heavy items on it. For heavier items you need a solid wall and a more study bracket.
As you can see from the above article there are many benefits to having shelfs (shelves) in your house. You can get the most benefit from them if you choose the right shelf for the right purpose.

"Glee" is no longer a family show
Last night, I regretted inviting my kids to watch "Glee" with me.
The Fox show about a high school glee club started out last year as a fun, funny musical comedy show with a subversive edge. But last night's show, ostensibly about Madonna and girl empowerment, was really about sex, which couples were going to have sex, which songs they would sing during foreplay, in front of the bed, on the bed, in the bathroom, etc.
I became increasingly frustrated and uncomfortable as the plot proceeded. After the cast sang Madonna's "Like A Virgin," I decided to attempt a teachable moment. "Do you know what a virgin is?" I asked.
"Yes, mom." It wasn't the right time to get into a whole conversation about sexual decisionmaking, so the teachable moment ended there.
Now that my kids are into the show, I'm not going to pull the plug. But I hope the plot lines get back to the competitiveness, intrigue, pettiness and popularity contests of high school that made the show an original sensation last year.

In an all-too-keen instance of corporate irony, a Google employee this week sent what was meant to be an internal "memo" to his coworkers – right on up to Larry and Sergey – through Google+, and made the post 100% public by mistake. Whoops! At least when you accidentally "reply all," your message is confined to the people in the original email list, right?
The engineer, Steve Yegge, has since deleted the post, but Danny Sullivan reproduces most if not all of the memo in a post on Search Engine Land. (The whole thing is interesting and I encourage you to read it.) The message, framed as a "family intervention," is intended as a wake-up call for the powers that be at Google, alerting them that they're missing something big: namely, they don't get platforms:
That one last thing that Google doesn't do well is Platforms. We don't understand platforms. We don't "get" platforms. Some of you do, but you are the minority. This has become painfully clear to me over the past six years.
Yegge says "one last thing that Google doesn't do well" because on the whole, he thinks Google is doing things right – for example, treating employees well and fostering the kind of open environment where an engineer can send a critical memo to the whole
company world and not get fired. However, he believes that this blind spot around platformism could severely hamper Google's success as a company, if they don't address it and quickly:
The problem we face is pretty huge, because it will take a dramatic cultural change in order for us to start catching up. We don't do internal service-oriented platforms, and we just as equally don't do external ones. This means that the "not getting it" is endemic across the company: the PMs don't get it, the engineers don't get it, the product teams don't get it, nobody gets it. Even if individuals do, even if YOU do, it doesn't matter one bit unless we're treating it as an all-hands-on-deck emergency. We can't keep launching products and pretending we'll turn them into magical beautiful extensible platforms later. We've tried that and it's not working.
The Golden Rule of Platforms, "Eat Your Own Dogfood", can be rephrased as "Start with a Platform, and Then Use it for Everything." You can't just bolt it on later. Certainly not easily at any rate — ask anyone who worked on platformizing MS Office. Or anyone who worked on platformizing Amazon. If you delay it, it'll be ten times as much work as just doing it correctly up front. You can't cheat. You can't have secret back doors for internal apps to get special priority access, not for ANY reason. You need to solve the hard problems up front.
I'm not saying it's too late for us, but the longer we wait, the closer we get to being Too Late.
One could – if one was a Google hater – misconstrue this message as evidence of Google sucking as a company, being doomed to fail. But that would be the wrong way to read it. Yegge isn't saying that Google is clueless and the rest of the big five (Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, and Amazon) are not. He's saying that this is one really important thing that they understand and Google still doesn't.
However, there are major things that the other companies don't get either. For starters:
- Facebook doesn't get privacy, even though that's what they built their business on.
- Microsoft doesn't really get consumers as customers, though it gets corporations as customers (especially a kind of bland, one-corporate-culture-fits-all mentality that's pretty common once companies reach a certain size).
- Amazon, apparently, doesn't get benefits or internal culture. (Yegge worked there for six years.) That means they're sacrificing the ability to secure top candidates.
What doesn't Apple get? I'm not sure – Apple annoys the piss out of me but they've figured out how to cultivate an extremely devoted fan base who keep repurchasing its overpriced products whether they need new ones or not. So you tell me, what don't they get? I'm sure there's something. (They're often picked on for not being open enough.)
But first, and more importantly, you should ask yourself what your company doesn't get. Undoubtedly, if you exist at all, there is something you do really well. But what are you missing? What's the blind spot preventing you from real (or bigger) success?
This is often an easier question to answer if you're not at the top of the food chain. Sometimes it's hard to see or admit fault when you're the one in charge, so the big guns at your company might need an "intervention" too. Would they listen to you? From where you are, can you do anything about it?

I am a firm believer that nothing is by chance. Furthermore an enterprise of Google stature and knowledge in my firm opinion, wouldn't let anything just slip. Google is the most trusted internet source, information supper hwy, they r the world wide web,& their key to success is our curiosity.After all knowledge is power especially when u are the endless sharing source! I'm sure like any larger than life company not all, if many employees are aware of the massive control and predictions Google is capable of.The company succeeds because in short, they are the winning team! Nothing makes you prouder or more loyal than being a winner!They see trends and shifts in every aspect and believe you me have not forgotten that "any publicity is good publicity". We as people love to see the humanity in companies and what better way than admitting to weaknesses in any form or better, an accidental admission to this NEW CULTURE CHANGE and Google lack of skills to keep up. Bare with me! For example when Domino's Pizza failed at their first attempt on the social media "bandwagon", by not managing their Facebook fan page they not only failed at the attempt to connect in a different and trendy way with their consumers they exposed themselves to a tremendous amount of ridicule & negative publicity which had to be responded to in an extremely costly campaign to reshape their image as being a company that really wants to interact and listen to their changing consumers. Restarting with.....good old fashion marketing. Threw commercials and radio, the spending and apologizing begins! Which is great that they have taken such a huge step to gain their social media fan base back, now fully understanding the demand for this networking to succeed. Because they really stuck at improving,they will prevail. In all reality Domino's will not see even close to the ROI that could have been for years or if ever due to the initial innocent carelessness. What my point? All Google does is monitor patterns and information and by duplicating the same agenda of looking like they want to adapt to "A new modern culture" that in all reality is no new to them,they can gently and safely secure the outcome desired in a much more viral, productive,done for you manner and secure a the wide beneficial out come. When I want my kids to listen, REALLY LISTEN THE fastest way to guaranty they react immediately the way I want them to is, IF I WHISPER! LOL! RIGHT! Even funnier is I have taught this tool to them in hopes they use it but developmentally they are at the point of trying to fight it& get frustrated at their lack of control when it comes to something soft spoken. :) Google see's companies hit and miss in trends and technoligy.In fact mistakes are easy to avoid when you the first to know what happening. The main concern is how much the people have control .Companies no longer are safe in controlling their image and revinue.Observing this inevitable change of hands from business controlling consumer, to consumer controlling business,Google waits for an opportunity,more likely when it's economically allowed to expose the fact "that we are now going threw a huge cultural change. "family intervention," not only does Google intentionally guide us were they want us to focus FOR WHATEVER REASON, they get all they need by how we respond to "UNDERSTANDING PLATFORMS",their gaining countless benefits. Am I saying Google is evil and controlling? NOPE. I,in my extremely long interpretation ,just want to project that if people can learn how to benefit from this new culture development ,like any other human behavior, society and the economy will grow and change for the better in a rapid roar. If the time is taken to understand who will prevail with technology and communication advancements, you as a person will be able to foresee the new direction that is already in place and learn to optimize the benefits for what type of business u choose to be involved in. Hope my thoughts are useful or enlightening for someone! :) Take care and God Bless! Tiff

November 6, 2009
In other recent good news, South African President Jacob Zuma finally broke definitively with South Africa's former government when he said in a speech, "Knowledge will help us to confront denialism and the stigma attached to the disease." He also discussed the vast numbers of people in South Africa who are dying of HIV/AIDS-related causes.
The lead activist organization in South Africa, the Treatment Action Campaign, called the speech "one of the most important speeches in the history of AIDS in South Africa." In his speech, Zuma detailed how he would address HIV/AIDS in South Africa:
All South Africans must know that they are at risk and must take informed decisions to reduce their vulnerability to infection, or, if infected, to slow the advance of the disease.
Most importantly, all South Africans need to know their HIV status, and be informed of the treatment options available to them.
Though it poses a grave threat to the well-being of our nation, HIV and AIDS should be treated like any other disease.
There should be no shame, no discrimination, no recriminations. We must break the stigma surrounding AIDS ...
Let World AIDS Day, on the 1st of December 2009, mark the beginning of a massive mobilization campaign that reaches all South Africans, and that spurs them into action to safeguard their health and the health of the nation.
Let's hope Zuma remains committed -- for the sake of all South Africans. We have to remember that an estimated 330,000 South African adults and 35,000 South African infants died prematurely of AIDS-related causes because of the South African government's inaction. The number of people living with HIV swelled under President Thabo Mbeki and his health minister, Manto Tshabalala-Msimang (who infamously insisted that HIV could be treated with a mixture of lemon, garlic and herbs). This was a completely avoidable tragedy in the epicenter of the HIV/AIDS pandemic.

Asbestos Removal and the things you should know about it
Want to know about asbestos removal? Asbestos is a mineral material, which has been frequently used in the construction of homes and buildings up until 1970s. Citizens thought it could provide strength and lasting effects to their roofing, floor tiles, insulation, and acoustic ceiling construction. When it came to the notice that difficult lung diseases could possibly be brought on by getting in contact with asbestos, individuals became wary.
You don't to be concerned unless asbestos starts deteriorating. But once the item starts getting deteriorated, the little microscopic fibres found in asbestos get out into the atmosphere. Citizens breathing in these fibres while breathing can acquire some incurable illnesses. Asbestosis and mesothelioma are examples of major diseases caused because of the exposure to asbestos fibre. Individuals ensure to remove asbestos from the houses and also other commercial buildings. This is a tricky task.
Necessity for Asbestos Abatement
Human lungs are likely to absorb the asbestos fibres from air through respiratory. It can cause severe diseases like carcinoma of the lungs if inhaled over a extended period of time If developed, the mesothelioma disease can be tough to combat with.
Promptly on identifying the asbestos fibre particles in the air, it is the utmost goal to carry out asbestos removal. To block these toxins from getting spread in the atmosphere, using asbestos abatement approach is important. This task needs to be performed by only certified asbestos removal experts; and if not carried out appropriately, it could end up in extremely dangerous after-effects.
Asbestos abatement is regularly conducted by expert. Inhabitants usually being unaware of its ill-effects usually conduct the asbestos removal process independently. While executing the asbestos removal, you must stick to the governmental regulations so as to make certain that it is carried out safely. If the asbestos pollutant is suspected in the building, then samples need to be taken and tested in the laboratory. Correct microscopic evaluation of these particles stands out as the only way to figure out the intensity of the situation.
Significance of Guaranteeing Proper Safety
The task of eliminating the asbestos particles has to be done by expert asbestos abatement workers provided that asbestos fibres are discovered present in the surroundings. On the other hand, if proper safety precautions are not taken, it may cause intense health issues, which might be incurable. Certified asbestos removal companies do proper evaluation of the circumstance using scientific measures and sufficient technical techniques to take out the offending particles with utmost care and caution. So one can stay away from getting exposed to the dangerous particles while performing the abatement task, asbestos removal professionals put on protective clothes along with breathing gears. The area is sealed and adequate safety guidelines are given to the inhabitants to adhere to.
It's critical to take the support of a licensed contractor for the asbestos abatement service. Also examine the license, insurance policies, as well as the track record of the contractor before deciding. The worth of work may differ from case to case depending on the area as well as level of contamination.

Date: 8/15/10
Opponent: Oakland Athletics
Home/Away: Home
Starting Pitcher: Slowey
Final Score: W 4-2
Record: 68-50
Recap: Damn, another unexpected and amazing pitching performance. Who thought Slowey would come back from his elbow soreness to deliver 7 no-hit innings. And what a position he put Gardy in, throwing 106 pitches to get through those 7 innings. I agree with the decision, at least most of me does. I must admit a tiny emotional part of me wishes he had gotten the chance to keep going. But honestly, Slowey was really struggling that last inning, and it wasn't worth risking his arm for such a slim chance. He had 6 more outs to get, and that could be a lot of pitches. Not to mention the fact that the defense was making some great plays behind him. Both Kubel and Repko made nice running catches to prevent extra-base hits.
While Slowey was delivering his no-hit start (with just 3 walks and a hit batter), the offense was similarly held in check by Mazzaro. Obviously not to the no-hit degree, but the Twins really struggled to do anything against him. In the 3rd inning, the Twins strung together some hits with 2 outs, a single by Hudson, a single by Mauer, and then a ground-rule double from Kubel. That was all the offense we had until the 7th inning, when the A's pitcher did something very, very stupid. He thought it would be a good idea to throw a 3-0 fastball to Jim Thome. Exit ball stage right. I'm thinking the pitcher maybe should have been more careful with that pitch, especially with Valencia up next, hardly the same threat as Thome. With 2 men on, it gave the Twins a 4 to 0 lead going into the 8th inning, and it was Thome's 580th home run of his career.
Gardy pulled Slowey, and you had to know he was going to; Gardy is very careful with his pitchers. Anyone who actually thought Slowey was going to stay in the game needs a reality check. So with the 4-run lead, Jon Rauch had the unenviable task of relieving a pitcher throwing a no-hitter in the face of a restless crowd. Cue the boos. Then after getting a strikeout, he gave up the first hit, a double. The booing increased. And then he gave up another double and the first run. More boos. He was eventully pulled for Crain. Another run scored on a fielder's choice, but we still had a 2-run lead going into the 9th. Capps got another save, and a very interesting game was over. We're now up 3 games on the White Sox, heading into another series with them. We shall see how this goes, but right now we are cruising.
Best Moment: Slowey's 7 no-hit innings.
Most Questionable Moment: Taking Slowey out after the 7th inning. I'm not saying I disagree, I'm just saying it will be questioned by some people.
Worst Moment: Rauch coming in and giving up the first hit. And then the second hit and first run.
Quotations of the Day:
- "I'd boo me too. I took a pitcher out with a no-hitter going, but I would do it a thousand times the same way because Slowey's just come off an elbow injury and we're not even about to come close to risking this guy. It's the way it is and it's sad because like I said I'd be booing too." - Ron Gardenhire. Slow clap.
- "I think more than anything I was letting my defense work behind me. Between Repko's catch and Kubel's catch and that double play that Valencia turned, and some of the plays in the infield. We have some Gold Glove-caliber defenders and I need to remember that because as you said I'm not overpowering. On a day when I didn't have great control, to rely on those guys was very nice." - Kevin Slowey
- "I was just ready to hit the fastball and was fortunate to do it." - Jim Thome on his home run.
- "I was a little disappointed. I don't think it would be possible not to be a little bit disappointed, but I think more than anything I was encouraged. I was encouraged by the fact that Gardy and Andy care a lot more about me as a person and as a pitcher in the long run than they do about winning one game or having one accomplishment. I think that says a lot about them and a lot about our organization." - Kevin Slowey
Suck-Ass Performance of the Game: Jon Rauch (0.1 innings pitched, 2 hits, 1 walk, 2 earned runs)

I've wandered over from the Horse Forum, delighted to have found someplace I can relish in my other obsession in life, fish.
I'm a lifelong sufferer of chronic MTS (multiple tank syndrome) who has fallen off the wagon yet again and, even worse, seem to have passed the disease on to my children (they took Grand and Reserve Grand in Aquatic Science this last summer at the 4-H fair). I've had fish for as long as I can remember - through the graciousness of tolerant parents had an entire fish room growing up and have had one (or more) tanks going ever since. We won't go into exactly how many years that would be, but suffice it to say more than 20 :lol:
At the moment we just have the kids' two project tanks, but tomorrow I am off to check out a possible buy for myself - can't let the kids have all the fun. My son has a 29 gallon tank with a bit of a mish-mosh of various tropicals and my daughter has a 35 gallon in which she is maintaining her guppy breeding program. If all goes as hoped tomorrow I'll be bringing home a 120 gallon setup that I have NO idea just what I'm going to do with quite yet - to date my largest tank has been a 75, so I'm itching to have my hands on this much tank.
Looking forward to being able to avail myself of all the wonderful information and knowledge here on the fish forum - and to being able to be a part of the community.
hello and warm welcome to you.
how wonderful to have a new project and very nice size tank.
please post pictures if you can :-D
Hello and welcome to the forum :wave: We're glad to have you here with us.
I'd love to have a 120 gallon to play with but there isn't any tank space left in this house ;/ I'm looking forward to hear what you've purchased and what your thoughts are of stocking it.
Happy hunting :)
Picked up the new tank yesterday - got it home and unloaded so it's now sitting in the living room waiting for me to get everything else moved around to make room in it's final resting place - - - - I spent a lot of time last night just staring at it and coming to grips with how big it really is, lol.
This is a picture of it in it's old home - it will probably be this weekend before I get it moved around in our house and ready to take any pics of. I do know it won't look a thing like it does in this picture as I have totally different plans for substrate, decor, etc
oh my days :-D
i don't think i'd be able to think straight for a week,if i had that sitting
in my living room !!!!
can't wait to see what you do with it.
Thanks for all the warm welcomes, btw.

Varsity newcomer Cornwell hits at astonishing clip for league title contenders
GLEN ELLYN — A small change in his approach has gone a long way for Will Cornwell this spring. Primarily a pull hitter in years past, the Glenbard South junior has worked on staying back and the results have been astonishing. In his first season on varsity, Cornwell, a left-hander batter who throws righty, entered this week's big series against Riverside Brookfield hitting .609 (28-for-46).

When should I stop co-sleeping with my newborn baby?
We have a in-bed sleeper that we sleep my 1 month-old in, but we also have a nice big crib set up in the nursery that has yet to be slept in. I'm afraid of moving him into the other room at nights to sleep thinking that I might not hear him wake for feedings or changings. When is a good time to transition to him sleeping in his crib and out of our bed?

I'm so happy to hear other people have their babies in their bed! When you tell others your baby sleeps with you, their disapproval is written all over their faces...it's discouraging and makes me feel like I shouldn't have my child in bed with me. I love it! I know he is safe, still breathing, not choking, etc... I guess maybe I'm a nervous first time mom! Thanks for making me feel...somewhat normal! :)posted 08/06/2008 by BeckyLS
My son still sleeps with me and he is almost 17 mths old. I think it is me more than it is him. I don't think there is anything wrong with it as long as everyone is happy. I slept with my parents until around 3 or so and I am perfectly fine. If everyone would just go with the flow instead of trying to go by the book all the time everyone would be more relaxed. Just do what comes natural.posted 05/30/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
* Co-sleeping enables new parents to get more sleep, and also holds many benefits for babies, including decreased SIDS risk, secure attachments, more attention, and more independence and confidence later in life. * Co-sleeping infants and children fall asleep faster, and stay asleep better. If, upon awakening, a baby finds himself snuggled close to his mother, he may go back to sleep instead of crying out. In addition, sleep studies have shown that mothers and babies sleeping together tend to have synchronized sleep cycles, often preventing Baby from waking Mother from deep sleep. * Co-sleeping promotes breastfeeding. Infants who sleep next to their mothers nurse more frequently during the night than breastfeeding infants who sleep apart from their mothers, many times without the mother even remembering in the morning! Night feedings help delay the mother's fertility from returning, which helps with natural child spacing.*Finally, parents who work during the day find co-sleeping to be a way to reconnect with their children at night. Co-sleeping can make a family feel closer, and siblings who share a sleep space quarrel less during the day.

|River Music Center to Conduct Feasibility Study
|Music - Feature Stories
|Tuesday, 11 June 2002 18:00
The committee exploring options for the River Music Center in downtown Davenport is about to undertake a feasibility study to see if the community will support its concept for the planned facility.
The concept for the $7 million project is still vague, but it should give the community some sense of the project as it moves toward its scheduled completion in summer 2004.
The River Music Center is funded exclusively with Vision Iowa money awarded to Davenport's River Renaissance project and will be run by a not-for-profit corporation created by the DavenportOne Foundation.
According to Jim Anderson, co-chairperson of the River Music Center Project Management Team, the River Music Center – in the Redstone Building at 2nd and Main streets – will include a variety of music-themed exhibits:
• an interactive timeline showing the history of river music and its evolution;
• an interactive component that will allow visitors to "sample" the lives of important figures in river-music history;
• an area highlighting local musicians;
• space for a changing exhibit area; and
• a stage and audience area for "very small, intimate concerts."
The exhibits will be housed on the center's second floor. The first floor is reserved for a restaurant and a music club, as well as retail space. The project will also include a kaleidoscope and a courtyard adjacent to the center that will double as a performance space. The basement of the Redstone will probably be used eventually as a music club, but that might be included as a second phase of the project. The not-for-profit corporation will not operate any of the restaurant or nightclub facilities, Anderson said.
Anderson said the Project Management Team is in the process of selecting an outside agency to conduct the feasibility study. The first phase of which should be completed in 90 days.
One thing that stands out about the concept is its inclusion of local musical heritage. That was stressed in public-input sessions in February, said Rachael Mullins, a member of the Project Management Team and the River Music Roundtable. From those sessions came ideas for a local hall of fame and a timeline.
And the River Music Roundtable also seems to be taking local musical history seriously.
Organizers have already held one focus group with the Latino community on June 6, with sessions with other ethnic groups on tap. Mullins said a focus group with Native Americans is scheduled for June 20, and future sessions will get input from the African-American and German-American communities.
"We documented five generations of music here in the Quad Cities" at the Latino session, Mullins said, with three generations present.
These focus groups are intended to generate material for the local-history exhibit, but they also create a foundation for partnerships, especially for future performances and lectures.
While the River Music Roundtable is dealing with content issues for the center's exhibit halls, the Project Management Team has been dealing with the business side of things. Among the recent happenings:
• The development agreement among the DavenportOne Foundation, the City of Davenport, and Kaizen Company of America has been signed;
• The purchase agreement, with which the DavenportOne Foundation agrees to buy the bottom three floors of the Redstone Building from Kaizen, is "near complete," Anderson said. It should be signed within the next 30 days.
• The Project Management Team is in the process of evaluating search firms to find an executive director for the River Music Center. Organizers hope to fill the position in early fall.
The last item is particularly important, Anderson said. It will be crucial, he said, for the River Music Center's first director to have input into what the facility will be, especially this early in the process.
For more information on the River Music Center, call DavenportOne at (563)322-1706 or visit (http://www.DavenportOne.com).

Keep dreaming fathead. Speaking of which… If I were to get a cheeto fat head I would have to paste it on the side of a barn.
808beans May 1, 2013
No discrespect to tito, but there is no way he would have dominated Jon Jones in his prime.
Young May 1, 2013
Yea right Tito in his prime would have got done just like sonnen. He's a one trick pony with a worn out trick. This fool is delusional
Young May 1, 2013

christopherdorner May 1, 2013
I don't believe Tito would have beaten Jones, but it would have been competitive thats for sure, anybody that thinks otherwise would be foolish. Tito is a huge 205er, probably could easily fight hw. Such a smart man, excellent manager, as well one of the best in the supplement industry, the only company I trust with my muscles in the gym
dmfh1981 May 1, 2013
…Tito is delusional
Drewington May 1, 2013
Who cares?
overhandriteonurchin May 1, 2013
Would love to see Jones face a prime Chuck or Tito.. Ino its testiment to how good hes is, why all his fights seem so easy. But great challengers bring the best outa great champions.
2manylumpsindahead May 1, 2013
How do you know when someone has taking one too many lumps upside the head? When they think they can beat Jon Jones in their "prime". He couldn't even beat Randy Couture in his prime. He's just mad that JJ broke his record. He's still a hall of famer and a legend, so he gets respect.
TheViciousone May 1, 2013
Mr. Fu*Kin* EXCUSE. I cant wait for Jones to beat his record. I cant even stand Jones. Poor little Chicho. Once he loses that that what has he got left? Oh yeah a cracked out has been porn star just like him.
Joe Dog May 1, 2013
Woulda, coulda…nonsense!
TheViciousone May 1, 2013
Ohh and sorry, you guys say legend? The only time you should say legend with his name is when he got beat by a legend. Tito always has and always will be marketing fluff who knew how to wrestle when no else was using it. I mean who really has he beat?? He couldnt even beat Forest Fu*k*ng Griffin..haha.what a joke. She should take what recognition he gets from the blind masses and shut his mouth. Oh yeah, and f*c* your knee, neck, back, shoulder, toes, fingers, anus and whatever you cry about. All fighters fight with injuries. He just has to let everyone know.
Red Arrow May 1, 2013
Tito only won 1 time in his last 9 fights
MuffDiggler May 1, 2013
Its hard to hang 'em up.
marvelous mad madam mim May 1, 2013
jones sucks, cant KO anyone, cant finish from bottom, has shit standup with no power. all i can say is it must suck knowing you bot bitch power
jdogg May 1, 2013
Remember what Chuck Liddell did to him their first fight? Multiply that x10 to see what Jones would have done to him.
ericsson May 1, 2013
come on taco-bell stop dreaming
sooooopernate May 1, 2013
That's insane. Jones beat Shogun for the belt, and defended against Rampage, Lyoto, Rashad, Vitor, and Chael to defend it. Finishing all but Rashad, but he was holding back. I mean Jones DEEEE STROOYYYED Hamil, and we know how Cheeto v Hamil went. Tito's streak by comparison: Wandy for the belt (impressive at the time) Yuki Kondo, Evan Tanner, Elvis Sinosic, The janitor, and Ken Shamrock. The level of competition is SO different now, which is why Jones is touted as being the GOAT for light heavies already. dmfh1981 said it best: Tito is delusional.
tobes May 1, 2013
Jones would have destroyed Tito in his prime. He is a MUCH better wrestler, MUCH better grappler and MUCH better striker (overall MUCH better fighter). Jones is the greatest LHW of all time – he'd beat Couture and Liddell in their primes as well.
Tito just has sour grapes that's he's not relevant. And to try to take away from Jones' success with his comments is just childish
Joe Dog May 1, 2013
Delusional and not too bright, it seems.
Shanks May 1, 2013
I see nothing wrong with what Tito said. I don't agree with him like most people but… he was asked "You in your prime, JJ right now in his prime, who wins?" What was he supposed to say… no I'd get my ass beat? He's a fighter… and not just any fighter but someone who's practically dedicated his whole life to this craft, fought at the highest level at one time and held the championship. Guys like that don't easily admit they would get their ass beat… even if deep down inside they know it would happen.
Ointment May 1, 2013
When was Tito's prime? When he was a huge LHW beating MWs, most of which would have a hard time getting a single win in today's UFC.
FailSonnen May 1, 2013
Prime Chuck would have a better chance. Prime Belfort too. Tito looses heart when the cards are against him in the octagon
Also Prime Mas Oyama 😛
ajitator May 1, 2013
LOL.. tito lost to chuck during his prime.. LOL.. this fool has delusions of grandeur.
homer May 2, 2013
i bet he thinks his wife is'nt a whore either
ChaelPSonnen May 2, 2013
What do you guys expect him to say…
"Yah Jon would whoop my ass"?
The man was a professional fighter for most of his life, of course he thinks he can beat him.
unclegrick May 2, 2013
I envy people like Cheeto with delusions of grandeur. A lot of people at the upper levels got there from simply being oblivious to their limitations.
Facefrack May 2, 2013
Good call, Shanks. Tito was a beast in his prime. One of the things that inspires me most about MMA is the incredible development that the whole sport has gone through over the last 15 years. Fighters have been uncovering new means of demolition n developing all kinds of new skills. A few years back, people used to look at Lyoto Machida with awe n talk about solving the puzzle he presented. When Tito started fighting, the only other guy (that I'm aware of) who had really fully developed Ground n Pound was Mark Coleman, but Tito used it even more effectively than Mark did n became champion. The question of whether Tito would have been able to beat Bones in his prime is a poorly formulated question. A much better question would be whether Tito, training with Greg Jackson and Mike Winkeljohn n a gym full of champion-level fighters instead of training Tank Abbott. So much more is understood nowadays about what works n what doesn't, what skills are worth developing n how to put all of them together to create a great fighter. Tito did great things for the sport in his day, but Bones is a totally deserving champion. Bones would win easily, but this doesn't belittle Tito in the least.
Facefrack May 2, 2013
Correction: A much better question would be whether Tito, training with Greg Jackson and Mike Winkeljohn in a gym full of champion-level fighters instead of training Tank Abbott in his mom's basement could have helped him to become the caliber of fighter who could beat Jon Jones.
takedown212000 May 2, 2013
Tito would have killed him. He was and will always be the greatest LHW UFC fighter ever. Jones sucks. Anderson would kill Bones
hightakes May 2, 2013
@marvelous mad madam mim
YOUR AN IDIOT he has finished all his fights??? retard
takedown212000 May 2, 2013
@hightakes he didnt finish Rashad
kryptonite May 2, 2013
he couldnt put the cat out
mma made easy May 2, 2013
Just no.
Not even if he drugged him first.
A prime Chuck, on the other hand… hmm…
mmafan11 May 3, 2013
Tito in his prime got beat up by a smaller Frank Shamrock.
For the Chuck Nut Huggers Chuck got K the **** Out in his prime by Rampage in their first fight in Japan in the Pride Grand Prix.
Neither could beat a good Heavy Weight like Jones but the elite Heavy Weights probably KO Jones.

Setlik III massacre
this wiki
The Setlik III massacre was a major event of the Federation-Cardassian War.
The Federation colony of Setlik III was believed by the Cardassian Union to be the staging ground for an assault on Cardassian space, and a strike force was dispatched to the colony to destroy it. However, no such military base existed, and the Cardassian troops attacked the civilian population, with over a hundred casualties. The Federation starship USS Rutledge, under the command of Captain Benjamin Maxwell, was the first vessel to respond to the colony's distress calls, though it was stationed some hours away. Upon arrival at Setlik III, the Rutledge deployed landing parties who were instrumental in saving the lives of the remaining colonists. (TNG: "The Wounded") Crewman Miles O'Brien became known as the "Hero of Setlik III" and was decorated after leading a group of two dozen men against a Cardassian regiment at the Barrica encampment. Among O'Brien's other achievements on Setlik III was saving the lives of thirteen men by using a field transporter for the first time. (DS9: "Paradise", "Empok Nor")
Among the casualties were Maxwell's family, as well as Rutledge crewmembers Will Kayden and Raymond Boone. Boone himself was killed by the Cardassians after being captured. He was replaced by a surgically-altered Cardassian operative. He was not revealed as an impostor until 2370. (DS9: "Tribunal")
In 2367, Glinn Daro acknowledged that the attack on Setlik III had been "a terrible mistake", as the Cardassians had erroneously believed it to have been the staging ground for a massive Federation attack. (TNG: "The Wounded")
- In the novelization of DS9: "Emissary", O'Brien reflects on his memories of the massacre, and Captain Maxwell's discovery of his murdered family, while settling into his quarters aboard Deep Space 9, a former Cardassian space station.

Listen to Dido's new jam "Let Us Move On," featuring Kendrick Lamar.
Dido's no stranger to the hip-hop scene: Remember Eminem's 1999 "Thank You"-sampling smash, "Stan"? You know, the song that inspired the name behind the internet's rarest breeds of über-fandom? That's right: Stans! (Used in a sentence: "The Britney-Stan swore revenge on the Rihanna-Stan in Buzzworthy's annual pop music face-off.")
Now, nearly five years clear of her last studio album, the British songstress will be returning in 2013 with Girl Who Got Away, due out in March. And one of the most anticipated cuts from the new record — "Let Us Move On" featuring Compton-bred rapper Kendrick Lamar — has just arrived this week for all to hear.
Listen to Dido featuring Kendrick Lamar's "Let Us Move On" after the jump.
This time around, Dido's finding hope in the face of turmoil instead of, you know, singing about a deranged fan with his pregnant wife locked in a trunk. Produced by constant collaborator (and older brother — aww!) Rollo Armstrong and super producer Jeff Bhasker (best known for his work on Kanye West's masterpiece 808's and Heartbreak), the slow-striding number finds the British songstress gliding along crisp, modern production and punchy drum loops. "Let us move on, for this is short and it will pass," Dido calmly assures us on the song's heavenly chorus.
While this may be Dido's first official foray into hip-hop, Kendrick's no stranger to dabbling in pop music. (He recently collaborated with our favorite Princess High chanteuse Lady Gaga for an unreleased ditty called "B****, Don't Kill My Vibe.") With Dido, Kendrick's verse drives the point home: "I can make the decision to let it all go away," he resolves. Considering New Year's Eve (and/or the Mayan Apocalypse) is right around the corner, it's kind of the perfect message of optimism for the moment. Let it all go, and Dido will lead the way!

"Because it's faster and easier than taking the car or the public transports. It's a good way to be active."
"With these shoes?"
"What is your favorite route in the city?"
"I change my route sometimes. If I do a detour, I like going through the city, to see all the people and for the specific atmosphere of this part of the city."
"What would be your advice for the women who wouldn't dare to cycle 20km to work?"
"It's a matter of habits. You get use to it very fast and you get to love it too."

Summary:For Stevo, living in Reagan-era Salt Lake City, rebellion is an imperative. A recent grad, his world centers on anarchy, refusing the system, and the music of The Ramones, Dead Kennedys and The Specials. His ex-hippie father sees this lifestyle as an important rite of passage, yet urges Stevo to attend Harvard Law School, as he did. Not to sell out to the system, but to buy in. For Stevo, underneath the mohawk, earrings and leather, the idea, painfully, has some merit. The question becomes, how do you stay hard-core and still hope for a life beyond?

It seems to me, that the other genin shown in this OVA could be based on characters from other anime, probably other Shounen jump based ones and was wondering if anyone could help me confirm this. We have pictures of each of them on here and I'm trying to compile a list of sorts, so far it doesn't look hopeful, but still.
Suna Genin - Mystogan from Fairy Tail.
Iwa Kunoichi - Green Haired girl from Pretty Cure, don't know it myself, but was told that.
Iwa Genin -
Unknown Genin -
Blonde Kumo Genin -
Brunetter Kumo Genin -
Hope I can get some results here, might make good trivia for the page. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 22:23, May 3, 2012 (UTC)

For once it is worth paying attention to the hype. Yes, the end of support for Windows XP is a serious matter.
April 8th is the last day, but don't worry; there's never been a better time to talk to us about a Windows-enabled future.
There have been four versions of Windows since XP was launched in 2001 but depending on the stats you choose to read, none have been as popular and as widely adopted. By Microsoft's own estimates close to a quarter of all PCs may still be running the twelve year old operating system and that means that the end of support for XP does expose them all to some serious risks.
We're all familiar with the delay while 'Windows is installing updates 1 of 25' message when we start up a PC, but probably didn't consider that those automatic updates were ensuring that your PC was secure against attacks from hackers, viruses and malware.
If you've ever been a victim of a serious attack you'll know that at best it's incredibly irritating and disruptive, but at worst it can be a terrible personal violation, cripple all of your finances and delete some of your most precious digital possessions. The cynics say that Microsoft always make a big noise about upgrading when they have a new version of Windows to sell but this time the implications are far more grave than simply not being on the latest and best system.
One of our Novatech partners described the end of these patches and security updates as "like simultaneously switching off your car's ABS, airbags, lights and removing the seatbelts. Yes you could still drive around fine but I wouldn't fancy your chances on a dark, wet night."
It's not a risk you'd take in your car and with more and more of our lives from banking and tax returns to children's school work and private photos stored and accessed on your PC, it's a risk you really shouldn't take on your computer.
Novatech's IT Director is not the type for hype and exaggeration, but last week he told the us that it would be weeks rather than months before we see the first wave of serious attacks on PCs running XP. You can update third-party virus and malware protection software but unfortunately any PC running XP now will be too old to be protected safely in the long-term and replacement is the only viable option.
There's never been a better time.
The good news is that there are so many options and incentives available, there's never been a better time to buy a new PC or laptop from Novatech. We will recycle your old PC safely and securely for free and if you come into our Portsmouth store we'll transfer all the data from your old machine when you buy a new one for less than ᆪ20.
And if you haven't had a new PC for a while you'll not only be amazed by the huge leap forward in performance, but how small and efficient Novatech PCs have become. For less than £250 the NBox II and the Pockit are both very small, near silent, energy-efficient, desktop computers perfect as High Definition Media players as well being capable of doing everything you can do on your current machine.
So the end of support for XP is a serious matter, but it's also a great opportunity to buy a PC or laptop assembled and supported in Britain by a company who the readers of Which? magazine rate second only to Apple for reliability and service.
There's more information about the end of support for XP on Microsoft's site here, but give us a call, look online or come and see us in our show room and experience worry free computing for yourself.

UCM drops opener
Friday, May 18, 2012
WARRENSBURG, Mo. — The Central Missouri Mules dropped their opening game of the NCAA Division II South Central Regional on Thursday, falling 8-6 to St. Edward's.
The Hilltoppers (36-14) jumped out to a 4-0 lead after two innings, scoring one in the first and three in the second.
The lead reached 5-0 when St. Edward's got a run in the fourth. But the Mules (44-8) came roaring back to tie it with a five-run bottom of the fifth. Included in the outburst was a bases-clearing triple by Jordan Coons (Jefferson City High School).
The Mules will play Texas A&M-Kingsville at 11 a.m. today in an elimination game.

High pressure across the Midwest will move slowly eastward giving eastern North Carolina a quiet weather pattern. There will be lots of sunshine and that should take highs into the lower 70s after early morning lows in the upper 40s. The beaches will see great weather conditions with sunny skies and highs close to 70°. Winds will blow from the north at 10 to 20 mph.

Cricketing lessons
By Gordon Robinson
In high school, except as domino partners, Gene Autry and I were always trying to outdo each other.
Academically, we were evenly matched. In sports, however, I had an uphill task. He was a champion in all racquet sports and thrashed me regularly and mercilessly. But I knew his secret. The footwork required for those court games didn't involve what I call real athleticism. I knew Autry could neither walk nor run with any coordination, hence he never picked up a cricket bat.
Our school had an annual tradition: a 'gimmick' students vs teachers cricket match. I connived to be students' captain with sole selection rights and decided to play a prank on Autry. I selected him on the team.
He had an impossible choice. He was clueless about cricket. But, if he declined, he'd lose bravado points and open himself to a lifetime of teasing. So, he unhesitatingly accepted with his usual "Hah! How hard can it be?" attitude. I planned to show him.
We batted first. Taking no chance Gene could escape humiliation, I made him an opener. His partner was the school captain (a very successful opener). Gene's bravado lasted until the long walk to the middle.
He subsequently told me that, halfway to the pitch, his partner nudged him and whispered, "You tek de first ball" Imagine that! If the assured, experienced school captain was nervous about facing the opening over, what was Autry, worse than a novice, to think?
Anyway, there was no turning back. If he had, he'd have seen me doubled up with laughter on the sidelines.
The teachers' opening bowler, a fearsome quickie, Spanish teacher Bramwell 'Sheppy' Shepherd, marked out a long run-up while Gene trembled at the wicket, his stance resembling a right-angled triangle with bat as hypotenuse. Sheppy produced a quick delivery just outside the off-stump. Before Autry could lift his bat, the ball flicked off the outside edge and raced between wicketkeeper Eddie Soong and first slip to unprotected third man. Four.
Miraculously, four more deliveries did something similar before Sheppy finally bowled him with a straight delivery. Autry returned to the pavilion with a respectable 20 to his name.
When I reached the wicket, the school's star batsman, Trevor Bertrand, was settled at the other end. I clipped my first delivery wide of mid-on and thankfully set off for the single every new batsman craves. When I arrived at the bowler's end, Bertrand handed me a cup of tea he'd brewed while I was running. By this time, mid-on had thrown the ball towards the keeper.
Incensed, I stormed off to the pavilion. Halfway there, I heard the crowd shouting but I was so angry I didn't listen. Had I turned around, I'd have seen the ball had eluded Soong and skidded all the way to fine leg. I could've made it back to my crease easily before the stumps were eventually broken. However, the scorecard read 'G Autry, b Shepherd 20; G Robinson run out 0.'
I'd one last ace up my sleeve. When we fielded, I asked Autry to bowl the first over. He was so cock-a-hoop he didn't bat an eyelid. Doing his best imitation of a chafed duck, he trundled in and 'bowled' to opener Soong. The ball bounced five times before it reached Soong, who got overexcited waiting for it; essayed an almighty swipe; missed; and was bowled first ball. Autry was the hero.
So, I learned more than 40 years ago that the less time one had to perform at cricket, the better to hide one's shortcomings. T20 'cricket', while immensely popular, doesn't provide any yardstick by which success can be measured.
So, congratulations to the West Indies on winning the recent T20 World Cup. It's a great tonic for a depressed region. But, let's not declare it a world-class cricket team just yet. Not until it has a true 'Test' against a top-five team. Congratulations also to Theodore 'Tappa' Whitmore, the Reggae Boyz and the Jamaica Football Federation for showing all how an independent nation ploughs its own furrow in international competition.
The Jamaica Cricket Association continues to treat Jamaica as a parish of a nation called The West Indies. It's a source of intolerable embarrassment to me whenever our opponent's national anthem is played before a game accompanied by cricketers with their hats off and tears in their eyes. Then comes:
For ten long years
we ruled the cricket world.
Now the rule seems coming to an end ... .
This is an inspirational anthem?
Peace and love.

Below is a picture of a custom dress. I think it looks Great, but DH says something is not right with the bow. So I thought I would take opinions from "crafty mommas" on this one.
Is there something "off" with the dress? If so suggestions please! I have 2 weeks before the dress needs to be finished, so I do have some time. Thanks a bunch ladies.
