Berge Edward Demirgian, passed away peacefully on Sunday, April 12, 2015 at home in Statesboro, GA, surrounded by his family and loved ones. Born in Manhattan, New York on February 23, 1922, he was the son of the late Edward Demirgian and Ebrakce Ekshian Demirgian, native Armenian immigrants that immigrated through Ellis Island, N.Y. in the early 1900′s. Extremely proud of his Armenian heritage, Berge relished sharing stories of the "old country"; stories of faith, family, and hardworking values that had been passed down from his parents and grandparents.
Drafted into the U.S. Army in 1942, Berge proudly served his country as an aircraft maintenance and service technician during World War II. After the war ended, he attended the prestigious Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, N.Y., from which he graduated with a degree in Graphic Design.
However, a professional career in art design wasn't meant to be for Berge. The tropical climate of South Florida and his love for family lured him into relocating to Miami, FL in 1947, when he joined his father and brother in the family business, Ansonia Cleaners. Providing professional dry cleaning services that catered to the big hotels and movie stars on Miami Beach, Ansonia Cleaners had the exclusive valet service at the world famous Kenilworth, Fontainebleau and Eden Roc Hotels during the "Rat Pack Era".
The brothers later went on to venture into the automobile sales business with the establishment of Ansonia Motors, which operated in the Little River area of Miami for over 20 years until their semi-retirement in the early 1980′s.
Who could have known that the best was yet to come only a short time later. Unable to satisfy his strong work ethic in semi-retirement and encouraged by his son who was already establishing himself as a leader in the ground support industry, they embarked on a new journey together. In 1987, with the formation of Aeromotive Ground Support, Inc., a refurbishment and sales company for GSE equipment worldwide, Berge finally found his true professional calling.
Afforded the opportunity to work alongside both of his children every day for the past 28 years, before his final retirement in December of 2014, was one of the greatest joys in his life.
Berge is preceded in death by his brother Archie Demirgian, of Davie , FL. He is survived by his wife, the love of his life for almost 60 years, Moineau "Petey" Brown of McRae, GA, a son Thomas Demirgian, of Davie, FL, daughter Susan (Tom) Clayton and grandson Matthew Clayton, all of Statesboro, GA and sister
Elizabeth Demirgian, O.P. of Adrian, MI, as well as many beloved nieces and nephews. Remembrances may be made to Savannah Holy Church of God 707 Little Neck Road, Savannah, GA 31419

In today's world, the earlier a child begins his or her education, the better. That was one of the guiding principles that led the Newton Community School District to implement its 4-year-old preschool program.
"Four years ago, we wrote a grant through the State Voluntary Preschool Grant program," Director of Elementary Educational Services Jim Gilbert said. "We hadn't had a 4-year-old preschool program before that, although we did have the 3-year-old program, which we still have."
The 3-year-old program is intended as a means to provide early integration for students with special needs. Students who have been identified as needing special education are integrated with non-special-needs students from volunteer families in the community.
The newer, 4-year-old program is separate from that and has entirely different goals.
"At the time the grant was offered, we conducted a longitudinal study of the elementary students, and we asked what percentage of kindergarteners had preschool experience; we found 20 percent did not, which became the impetus for the going forward," Gilbert said. "We worked with area providers, because we obviously didn't want to tread on their market, so we asked why those in the 20 percent didn't go to preschool. Almost all of them said it was the cost, so we wrote our grant specifically to target families who find it difficult to afford a preschool education for their children."
Preschool Coordinator Jamie Cranston said this is the fourth full year for the preschool program in the Newton Community School District. The program for 4-year-olds has been housed at Emerson Hough since its inception, and the program has continued to grow from its original program with just two teachers and a part-time coordinator.
The program features morning and afternoon sessions of three hours each. Each day, students take part in a project-based learning experience — a new addition this year — as well as small group instruction in mathematics and literacy and large-group discussions focused on social and emotional development.
"They also have a story time, and there's a snack and some gross motor time (recess), which we prefer to have outdoors," Cranston said. "Then, they have some center time, which is adult-facilitated play time."
The project-based learning is one of a few big changes this school year for the program. The program is intended to get students to ask questions and explore answers and is not tied to a specific learning outcome.
"For instance, one session topic might be on clothes," Cranston said. "The morning group could make observations about clothes, while the afternoon group could talk about clothes other people wear."
Another big change this year has been a change in curriculum from one published by Houghton Mifflin to one produced by Creative Curriculum. Cranston said the changes will result in greater parental involvement in the students' learning process.
"We're always striving for parental involvement, like our Parent Night," she added. "We're doing well, but we want to make it stronger."
Gilbert said the earlier parents become involved in their children's education, the easier it is for both the parents and children to value that education. He said studies have shown that children who have their education reinforced at home have a higher rate of success in school.
Another element helping teachers in the classroom, now in its third year in the preschool program, is the Teaching Strategies Gold assessment system. Cranston said the system requires teachers to make anecdotal notes periodically to show individual students' growth in certain areas.
"For the first year and a half, we were learning how to do it, and for the past year and a half, we've been using it to inform our teaching," she said. "Every Wednesday morning, we get together to make our groups based on what kids need to learn."
In a way, the program allows the teachers to tailor their teaching to the individual needs of their students.
The current school year has resulted in another big change with the preschool program. Two of the program's teachers moved to Berg Elementary to teach kindergarten and transitional kindergarten, and the promotion of Cranston from part-time teacher/part-time coordinator to full-time coordinator, have resulted in a almost entirely new slate of teachers.
"We needed another section to deal with the waiting list for the program, and the coordinator was moving to a full-time position," Cranston said. "So, this year, we hired four brand-new teachers, which means our staff is all new, which is very exciting."
Cranston also noted the amount of training the preschool's paraeducators receive each year. Gilbert said it adds to the district's goal of high quality assurance for the program.
"They get extra training, beyond what the normal paras or associates get in the elementary schools. There's training from the AEA and background checks, which result in formal licensure," she said. "We also provide additional training on anything we train our teachers on, usually about four times a year. It's something we pride ourselves on."

Author's Notes: This is a one shot based on www.fanfiction.net/s/2406173/1…. I hope you guys enjoy it!
Link and Ruto are snuggling in bed together happy that they are together. Link is half naked with just some boxers on underneath the sheet and Ruto has nothing on, but Link loves Ruto without any clothes because she is much more beautiful that way. That is the way Link always like here since they have been children. They are sleeping peacefully in bed together until... Off said Link being pounced by someone.
Good morning daddy! said the little girl who was a beautiful hybrid being Human and Zora. Oh, good morning Tara... said Link waking up a bit. Then Ruto woke up a few seconds later to make sure she does not get pounced by Tara. Morning Tara sweetie said Ruto, What is the wonderful reason you are waking us up? Well mommy, me and Brian got up to make you guys breakfast, I helped him a little since he is a better cook then I am said Tara. Well that is thoughtful of you and Brian, can you give your mommy and daddy a little time to get ready? asked Link. Sure! said Tara and run off to meet back with Brian who is a human and been friends with him since they were toddlers or somewhere around there.
I can't believe it has been over 8 years since we got married said Link. Yeah me neither and you were surprised we had a little girl in such a short period of time compared to Humans said Ruto giving a nice morning kiss to Link on the lips. Yeah, but Tara was grown up to be check a beautiful little girl and even has a friend since they were really little said Link. Yeah, me too and I am also glad we have became an example for other possible romances between Humans and Zoras said Ruto. The 2 then kissed and hugged each other a lot since they love each other so much. Then they got themselves ready and went to the kitchen/dining area.
The place Link, Ruto and Tara live in is a medium sized house somewhere in Hyrule Field. The house was quite nice to live in for the entire family and surprisingly the King of Hyrule helped finance the house and supple the materials for it as well and some nice funerter. Zelda is still not pleased Link choose Ruto over her, but it makes since that they were friends since they were kids. Zelda is sadly still unmarried and wants to get married to have children. But hardly any of her boyfriends like her that much since she is such a spoiled brat Princess since she was a kid and she only has maybe a few years before it is less likely she will have a child of her own.
Anyways, back to the house Link and Ruto seated themselves at the table waiting for their breakfast. Tara's friend Brian was around the same age of Tara was wearing an apron over his clothes. Here is your breakfast said Brian and passed Link and Ruto's dishes to them. The breakfast pretty simply: Some pancakes, eggs and bacon which surprisingly looked good from a 8 year old boy cooking them with Tara at his side. Link and Ruto tried the food and were amazed how good the food is. Well...what do you think mom and dad? asked Tara curious. Wow! The food is very delious Tara, Man you are like a master chef Brian said Ruto. I agree with you mother here said Link, And you did an excellent job Brian! Thanks Link and Ruto, you can thank my dad teaching me to cook and someday have me follow his footsteps which I will! said Brian.
After finishing the excellent breakfast Brian prepared for Link and Ruto by Brian, both Tara and Brian bolted up. Well mom and dad, I am going to have some fun with Brian today, I see you guys later! said Tara. You do that sweetie and make sure you don't forget your sword and shield said Ruto. I won't said Tara then gave a kiss on the cheek to Link and Ruto. Tara was taught by Link and Ruto her sword training since there are still monster in Hyrule. Tara is pretty much as much as a Tomboy as her mother and Brian is not a fighter and depended on Tara to protect him. Link and Ruto were finally alone for a while from seeing there beautifully daughter Tara.
Well, what do you think we should do with Tara away since it is just you and I said Link. I don't know Link, but we can think of something from our day off from our duties said Ruto leaning to Link and kissing him passionately around his face and other places. Do you think Tara and Brian will play more tricks on Zelda? said Link. Hmm...you are probably right, besides you deserves that said Ruto laughing a little along with Link. Then the 2 got up to get ready for the rest of there day off and plan what fun things they would love to do today.
And for the Zora Kingdom, King Zora loves that Ruto married Link since they have been good friends to each other since they were kids. King Zora did not like Zelda either and is glad Link never got interested in her nor married her at all. King Zora gets a little lonely not seeing his daughter as often since she is part of a family with Link and Tara which King Zora adores being a grandfather to her and likes how she turned out as Human/Zora Hybrid. The rest of the kingdom are happy for Ruto as well and are starting a new sort of tradition with Zoras falling in love with the humans in Hyrule.
So pretty much all is well for Link since he will be always together with the one he loves: Ruto and has Tara as his daughter
The End
Author's Notes: I hope you guys love this One-Shot fanfiction of the Link/Ruto couple. And yes, I made it this way because I wanted Link and Ruto to be happy together because I am a HUGE fan of the couple. And please for a fair warning: NO FLAMES! I don't want anyone to show their angry in this fanfiction of how they don't like Link and Ruto Married, that is your own problem, do not share that here!
What if Link Married Ruto? by MarioDS01Watch
©2007-2016 MarioDS01
Hope you guys enjoy this Zelda Fanfiction with the Link/Ruto or RuLink couple. And yes, I am a big fan of the couple.
Wait a sec, Boyfriends? Zelda's a player?
Link is NOT human, He's HYLIAN, Because Humans(NOT the so-called "Humans" from Jak & Daxter) Don't have such pointy ears, But HYLIANS do!!!!!!!!!
Zelda in Ocarina of Time being a spoiled brat is your opinion, but after Majora's Mask was Twilight Princess, the Hero of Twilight is not half Zora, and if the Hero of Time married Ruto, the Hero of Twilight, and Prince Ralis would be Brothers/Cousins. And in Twilight Princess, there was no romance between Link and Illia, there was not much romance between Link and Zelda, and most of the Twilight Princess fans, especially me theorize that there is a lot of romance between Link and Midna. I'm serious. Zelda in Twilight Princess is jealous right now. Link and Midna is my most favorite couple.
This story makes no sense at all. Link can't be a Hylian when he is married to Ruto. Remember the Zora Mask from Majora's Mask? Link must at least keep it on, and be a Zora. Besides, Link from Twilight Princess is not Half Zora.
i just realized that genetics could have made her either completely zora or completely human based on the dominant gene, i don't know if zora's genes are dominant over human genes or if neither are dominant over the other, so this seams to suggest that neither are dominant over the other. btw did you take genetics in highschool? just curios.
i'm surprised that it's the king of hyrule and not the zora king, i mean ruto is her daughter but i guess ruto is not as spoiled as zelda
ruto never wore cloths in OoT until the 3DS remake where she wears a dress of zora scales
I'm making a fanfiction that is clear and understandable
Okay. I... I like it.
Great story. I always wondered how it would work.
But Link is Hylian because of the ears Humans have round ears.
But Link is Hylian because of the ears Humans have round ears.
Why not make a wedding story? By the way you might have mentioned that Zoras lay eggs.
A little....short wouldn't you say?
but ruto NEVER wheres cloths!
A few grammer and spelling mistake but a great read try makeing it longer and posting it on a site like booksie
EDIT i know i said spell ing mistakes and then said makeing meant to be making too lazy to change it
EDIT i know i said spell ing mistakes and then said makeing meant to be making too lazy to change it
Could you make an alternate version wher Link is female and Ruto is male?
Interesting idea. Not sure if I'll try it anytime. I kind of like Ruto as a girl. I may have to think of something, unless you have some ideas...
Not very well written, needs more description and spelling, grammer, along those lines, but I like where this is going. I support just about any zelda couple except for link and zelda themselves because honestly, neither Link nor Zelda have ever shown any romantic interest in each other aside from Minish Cap, when Zelda sorta asked Link out. Malon, however, seems to always gush over link, Saria, best friend and soul mate, Ruto... forced mariage, but still... she's zora so it gets interesting. Anyways, hope this can evolve and continue!
Sometimes, sacrifices will be made... any volunteers?

isnt link an elf?
Actually Link is a Hyrulian, not an elf, even though he has pointy ears like an elf.
Other then that, did you enjoy the fanfic a bit?
Other then that, did you enjoy the fanfic a bit?
fanfic.com one was interesting. especially all the things about link where he really doesnt get much and so much is expected from him.
plus zelda is like 'i love you' but nothing happens. i think she just puts link on a leash sometimes
plus zelda is like 'i love you' but nothing happens. i think she just puts link on a leash sometimes
I agree with you on the LinkxZelda thing, besides, that couple is REALLY low on my list. I prefer other girls with link like Ruto and Marlin (from "link's awakening).
Great job! and kinda cute!!
I'm a great fan of RuLink too ^_^
El idioma oficial of the world deberia de ser the spanglish/espangles xD

I can see why Zelda's father would set up a house for Link and Ruto. He hates Link and would prefer he marries a fish instead of his own daughter.
zeldas father dont you mean rutos dad?
Uh - did Ruto's Father set up a house for Link and Ruto? NO! The King of Hyrule did! PAY ATTENTION!
But... his own daughter IS a fish.
hehe, kinda cute, though I don't really like the pairing, it was a good story, filled with love, which I like. kinda weird for a guy to be obsessed with romance and stuff, isn't it? and people wonder why I use fake names. I hide my shame.
Well I like romance stuff at least on fan site wise. I do actually love other genres like sci-fi, fantasy, action, adventure stuff with games, movies, tv. I just look at romance stuff to go deeper into couples or think of ones that make more sense to me like LinkxRuto(Zelda), FryxAmy(Futurama), Ranma(Female)xRyoga(Ranma 1/2) and other stuff, at least in my opinion.
That's my reasoning to my favorite stuff.
That's my reasoning to my favorite stuff.
I have always been a huge fan of LinkxRuto. I personally think that deep in the core of it, the issue is overcoming differences. I mean so what if Link is Hyrulian and Ruto is Zora. There's a timeless saying: "Follow your heart"
You do give good points there, pretty much what I think. Heck I'm into the whole thing of Humans falling in love with Anthros and species not their own, but still human like.
Besides I love Ruto's personality of being a Tomboy and being able to take care of herself.
Besides I love Ruto's personality of being a Tomboy and being able to take care of herself.
This is actually cute. ^^ I like it when people like RutoXLink.
Thank you. Glad you loved it.
Hail-NekoYasha's comic might have been bad but she had a good idea for a child they could have
Yeah, I do love the child. I only like the comic because of Link and Ruto married with a kid. It is just the ending I did not like that it gave Link nightmares. I think it was really a beautiful. I just wish there was another version of the story, but it is a good dream for Link. Or it could be a nightmare that Link is being chased by Zelda, but Ruto is at Link's side and comforts him.
I'm not a big fan of the couple but it's great material.I'm not gonna tell you what I mean by that so you're left clueless for awhile.
Glad you think it is great material Jacob. It's OK you are not a fan of it as long you don't hate the couple.
I don't know why anyone would hate the couple.
Me neither Jacob. I think they go excellent together. Maybe because Link is a Human/Hyrulian and Ruto is a Zora, and different species should not go together. Or people think Ruto has a problem being obssessed over Link and tries to marry him, sort of like Amy Rose with Sonic.
I think they are stupid reasons. I go for different species romance and Link and Ruto is a cool example of it. I just wish there was more of that with a human and a pokemorph or a anthro together.

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

Another amazing massage. I'm sorry that Keazzi is moving to Cornwall and she won't be available for appointments anymore. If anyone is thinking of booking for the next week before she stops, it is highly recommended.
Another great aromatherapy massage - good value and would come back. I've recommended keazzi to family and friends and I wouldn't hesitate to do so again. I'm a repeat customer!
First time I have used Wahanda and found a deal for an hour long swedish massage and booked it on a whim. I'm very glad I did. The massage was very relaxing, the oils smelled great and it was enjoyable, professional and a great experience. I recommended it to everyone I spoke to that day. I will definitely be going back.
The only thing to note is on a Saturday there is no formal reception so you do have to ring a bell outside to get in. I was a little confused as to whether I was in the right place. Just keep in mind if you are a first time customer. However, once you're inside it's great.

We are just as good as Arsenal, claims Tottenham coach Steffen Freund
STEFFEN FREUND claims the balance of power has shifted between Tottenham and Arsenal since his days as a player at White Hart Lane.
Spurs are definitely in a better position to finish above Arsenal than they were in my day. We are really close to Arsenal
The Spurs No.2 was a midfielder at the club between 1998 and 2003, during which time they never finished above their rivals.
But Freund, 42, goes to the Emirates this Saturday knowing Spurs could do it this season for the first time since 1995.
He said: "Spurs are definitely in a better position to finish above Arsenal than they were in my day. We are really close to Arsenal."

While watching a young man and his father at an area gun range this week, a serious thought crossed my mind: Why can�t schools or local groups teach gun safety to school-aged kids as part of a standard education? It could be a program that parents need to sign a permission slip for, just like with some other events offered. I�m sure the local sheriff�s department might consider sponsoring. What better time to teach safety?
The course wouldn�t need to include a shooting lesson, but it does need to teach how simple knowledge about gun safety can mean the difference between life and death.
While at the range I was challenged with keeping my mouth shut. For those of you who know me, this wasn�t an easy thing to do. I watched a father intimidate his son (a boy about 8 years old) by heckling him into trying to shoot a 12 gauge shot gun that was clearly not a youth model and designed for home defense, not hunting. He kept telling the child that girls could shoot the gun; and therefore, he better not let a girl show him up. What is this, the 1800s?
I was outraged by the panic in the child�s eyes and the bully tactic his father was using. I hope this isn�t a common event for young folks when learning how to shoot a gun. (No offense, men, but sometimes being cool and tough are more important than being smart and calm). The man was erratic, loud, and a perfect candidate for someone getting hurt around him � and he was teaching his son the same terrible habits he had acquired. It was heartbreaking and frightening.
Basic range safety:
Rule number one: Always treat a gun as if it is loaded and ready to be fired.
Rule number two:Always point the barrel of a firearm at the ground when walking or waiting.
Rule number three:If you are not shooting, make sure your gun is open and unloaded. Do not stand behind someone while holding your gun or loading your gun.
Rule number four:Always wear protective eye gear and hearing protection. Remember, ladies, do not wear an open top where hot brass can land � and quickly distract you!
Rule number five:Do not offer an inexperienced shooter a firearm unless they have been properly trained in gun safety. An accident takes less than one second!
Rule number six:Save the �show off� tactics for playing video games. Loud, erratic behavior is not safe.

I have only ever made a real 12" cake bottom and placed an 8" cake dummy on top. Now I have to stack 3 cake dummies and I'm not sure if I should use dowels like I do regular cakes or not? Any suggestions?
I put a little piping gel in between the tiers and put a dowel down through them to hold them in place. It really is easy. Just have fun with it.
No you don't need dowels. Dowels are to prevent the cake from sinking into the cake below. Styrofoam won't sink into styrofoam. I dont' even ice the whole top of the cake. Just enough to "glue" the top cake in place (about 2-3" inside the edge is all I do).
I use royal icing between the tiers of my dummies. Also, I do run a wooden dowel through all the tiers into the board. The one time I didn't run the dowel through all the tiers and hit a bumpy road, the royal wasn't enough to hold it in place and the top tier of a show cake toppled.
A showcake! Oh wow I can't imagine the horror you must have felt!
I've had good luck just in using the BC. I can pick up a 3 or 4 tier dummy cake by the top cake and it all holds together.
Hi Indydebi,
If the middle tier (top and bottom are dummies) is real cake, do i need to dowel thru the entire 3-tiers or just cake is good enough?
Please advise.
Thank you.
no need to put supporting dowels in the bottom (fake) tier to hold the middle (real) cake. I would put supporting dowels in the middle (real) cake to hold the top (fake) tier, even tho' the top tier is very lightweight.
Thank you Indydebi. That helps
I know I am like 2 years late. But I just need to ask this:
What if I am making 5-tier cake? Would it be advisable to use dowels in all tiers? I am planning to use plastic pillar for the fifth tier (connecting 4th tier) so there will be a gap in between which I plan to cover with roses all around.
I am planning to stack the cakes on each other except the 4th and 5th tier connection.
Hope someone can advise me as this is my first time making dummy cakes.
p/s: btw, 2nd tier will be actual cake tho.
AThe only tier you would need to dowel is the real cake tier and only if there will be another tier sitting directly on it. The styrofoam tiers are dense enough not to need support. I would definitely dowel through the center of the bottom tiers (below the separation) and possibly a separate dowel through the top tiers if you are traveling with them stacked. I would travel with the top tiers separate and stack on location but that's just me. :)
AI know this was a Year old thread but I am hoping that you can help me. I am stacking 3 tier cake of 11, 8, and 6in round. The 11in is a styro. The 8and 6in are real cake.
Do I need to use a dowel in the bottom tier all the way to top?
How do you stack the two top tier that it won't slide from the dummy cake? The client is the one who'll pick up and transport.
Im afraid it will tilt while in transport because the bottom tier is light and the two on top is heavy. Did you have this issue before?
Thanks in advance.
Of course I only use SPS, especially with a "civilian" picking up the cake!
Decorate the dummy and place on bottom board. Place the middle tier on the dummy and use a 2-3 skewers to anchor it to the dummy. Then place the plate and leg assembly into the middle tier. Last, place the top tier on the SPS plate.

Atlas Shrugged, part I, chapter VAlthough the most vivid (and creepiest) scenes depicting Ayn Rand's views on love and sex are still to come, this chapter offers a preview, as we find out in flashback that Dagny and Francisco became lovers during their college days. The first hint of this comes on a summer day when they're walking along the Palisades. Here's how Francisco initiates their relationship:He said brusquely, "Let's see if we can see New York," and jerked her by the arm to … [Read more...]

I just finished reading Sex at Dusk, independent scholar Lynn Saxon's reply to Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jetha's book Sex at Dawn, which I reviewed last month. This book fills in the biggest gap in my original review, so I wanted to say some more about it.When I originally read Dawn, I thought that Ryan and Jetha's strongest argument was the existence of the South American tribal societies that believe in partible paternity, the idea that a child can have more than one biological father. … [Read more...]
Book Review: Sex at Dawn, Part II
(See part 1 here.)Primitive WarfareAs part of the sex-as-social-glue hypothesis, SaD asserts that pre-state societies were universally peaceful. The book argues that in a hunter-gatherer society with no possessions and no fixed resource base, rival groups would have nothing to fight about [p.183].But this claim flies in the face of the evidence. As I wrote about in my review of The Better Angels of Our Nature, it's inevitable that evolution would produce creatures with the capacity … [Read more...]
Book Review: Sex at Dawn
Summary: An interesting but sloppy argument that would have been much improved by more careful use of evolutionary reasoning.Sex at Dawn, by Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jetha, is a bestselling science book that sets out to present a radically new model of human prehistory. The authors' thesis is that, prior to the invention of agriculture, the human species lived in small, roaming hunter-gatherer bands that had no notion of personal property or privacy. In these tribal societies, they say, … [Read more...]
Forward Thinking: Teenagers and Sex
Two of my new colleagues at Patheos, Libby Anne and Dan Fincke, have recently launched Forward Thinking: A Values Development Project, a collaborative discussion in the spirit of the old blog carnivals. This week's conversational prompt is, "What would you tell teenagers about sex?"Now, I'm not encouraging teenagers to have sex, because (1) no one should be pushed to have sex before they, themselves, have decided that they're physically and emotionally ready; and (2) it doesn't really matter … [Read more...]

In Defense of Sex
The birth-control battle that's dominated headlines for the past few weeks seems to be winding down, as religious conservatives belatedly realize it's not a winning issue for them. But given how the American religious right continues to contract into a hard, embittered core, I doubt it's the last time this will come up. I had some thoughts on how this battle played out in the media, and how we should prepare for the next one. In the thick of the fight, many people pointed out, rightly, that … [Read more...]
Perfecting Man's Moral Shortcomings
In the Book of Exodus, there's a bizarrely out-of-place story that I've always found hilarious. This is immediately after God has told Moses that he's going to be God's messenger to Pharaoh, listing all the signs and wonders Moses will be able to do to convince the Egyptians of his authority, and sent him on his way:"At a lodging place on the way, the Lord met Moses and was about to kill him.

In the past, I've poked fun at the Catholic church for the logical contortions it goes through to get around the problems it creates for itself with its nonsensical decrees about sex. But the Catholics are far from the only sect that has laughably ridiculous rules about sex, nor are they the only sect that goes to absurd ends to get around the problems those rules create. So, today I'm going to write about a particularly hilarious example which, like the last one, I first heard about from my … [Read more...]

The bond debt would add about 5 cents to the tax rate, pushing Amarillo to about .30 per $100 valuation. If approved, the tax rate would rise for the first time since 1996.
The average house, worth about $67,168, would have an increase of $33-$34, City Manager John Ward said.
Amarillo is the largest city in Texas not carrying tax-supported debt, a recent Texas Municipal League survey stated. The city retired its 1972 debt in the early 1990s, Ward said. The next largest city with no tax-supported debt is Sherman, which has a population of about 30,000.

Skip to comments.GM Recalls Nearly 500,000 Chevy Cruzes for...Engine Fires
Posted on 06/25/2012 1:34:37 PM PDT by bigbob
Concerns that Chevrolet Cruzes could catch fire have caused General Motors (GM) to recall more than 475,000 of the popular compact sedans, the automaker said Friday...
All (Cruze) cars manufactured from September 2010 to May of this year are subject to the recall.
Already getting Chevy Volt flashbacks? Of course you are.
In January, GM called back every single Volt ever sold in the U.S., to fix the (fire problem on the) allegedly already fixed battery .
Its important for a company to create a branding identity--something all its products possess as an underlying, unifying theme.
GM has successfully identified and implemented theirs: combustibility.
And this is not the first Cruze recall.
First, 2,100 Cruzes were recalled when steering wheels started spontaneously falling off.
But that was just the tip of the Titanic.
Government Motors is now forced to recall ALL 154,112 2011 Cruzes - for multiple problems. There was, again, the steering. And an automatic transmission with a phantom Park it looks like its out of gear, but (Surprise!) its not.
Not a very fuel-efficient vehicle if you can't disengage the transmission.
At once propping up the uber-failed success of the Barack Obama Administrations amped-up auto bailout - and its non-green non-energy crusade.
We have been told by GM that people come in to look at the $41,000 Volt, but leave with the $17,000 Cruze.
"The Volt is leading to a lot of Cruze sales," said Mark Reuss, GM's CEO for North America. Customers are coming in to see the Volt, but not everyone can buy a Volt, Reuss said. The Volt has a starting price thats nearly two and half times greater than the Cruzes price.
Its good to know they arent missing out on any of the excitement.
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the volt based on the Cruze?
and wasn't the Volt's problem due to it;s Lithium battery?
Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the volt based on the Cruze?
and wasn't the Volt's problem due to it;s Lithium battery?
I don't watch television, but my wife does, and she was watching the Olympic trials...I saw several commercials for the Chevy Cruze, and they were touting the J.D. Power award for safety!
I guess the J.D. Power award for safety means as much as the Nobel Peace Prize, or the Pulizer Prize.
Yes and Yes.
"Its important for a company to create a branding identity—something all its products possess as an underlying, unifying theme. "
These cars are the hottest cars on the market now....
Perhaps the car should be renamed The Torch.
GM is actually advertising the Volt on TV as "The Hottest Car in America". I kid you not.
Chevy Blazer?
Cruze IE (Incendiary Edition)?
Don't forget the Third Degree Burn Edition.
no where on that page will you find the word "fire"
I guess they don't care about that.
Looks like it's based on crash tests. Not "does it burst in to flames" tests.
It will be much worse when Americans who suffer 3rd degree burns when their Government Motors cars burst into flames are forced to seek care from the other GM, Government Medical.
See, this is a clever scheme to create jobs! /s
so, will the president of GM be forced to publicly apologize?
LOL. my leftard ,obamaluvin' co-worker bought one.
Spontaneous Combustion Engine is standard equipment.
The Chevy Blazer already exists..
It was a 4X4 truck.
But the Cruze doesn't have a Lithium battery.
Can we then infer that the battery was not the Volt's problem and they may not have figured out the cause of the problem?
How much is the upgrade to the fire safe one?
Supposedly the GM compact car that would finally compete with the Japanese brands. Another POS car from GM. Cruze = Citation, hee hee.
Currently unavailable, however, you may be interested in this option:
The problem with the Cruze involves a cover where spilled or leaking fluids can gather. When the cover heats up, the fluids can ignite.
Volts problem is apparently electrical.
I can see it now - "Cruze SCE. With fine bankrupt Greek Corinthian Leather interior. Save thousands over the standard LE package (Lithium Explosion)."
See your GS-5 Government Motors rationer today!
I change my own oil and always check for leaks afterwards.
That's one recall I'm not in a rush to get done.
The oil filter hsg has an o-ring that seals it to the block.
Per the Cruze forum, it's happened that oil change techs install the new o-ring that comes in the box with the filter cartridge but forget to remove the old one, resulting in a leak that apparently accumulates in a place that gets hot.
see my post 31
Is that a Toyota?
It kind of makes me chuckle
If you read FR you'd think GM doesn't sell any cars
and this one model in the US and Canada is a half million in 2 yrs (+ many more of these in S. America, Europe, and Korea)
Good one.
In view of the latest immigration decree shouldn't it just be re-branded as "El Fuego"?
All problems solved./S
Government Motors....Chevy Runs into Flames (to paraphrase their slogan).
gm automobiles... they may burn up in their own self induced fires... but they are gay friendly.
OK, the tail lights looked like Toyota-ish.
Though in this case, the fire apparently started in the trunk and is not related to the recall, it does make one wonder if that's the next recall.
Thanks, that's what it looked like to me.
But it must be photoshopped because as everybody on FR knows, a Japanese car could not be defective.
I always wear my Hinchman Nomex when I drive my Cruze.
It fits a little tighter than when I raced in SCCA 30 yrs ago, LOL.
Video of Chevy Cruze erupting in flames:
In the case of the Celica, IIRC the reason that one went on fire was because dude had his aftermarket stereo system short out and burst into flames - that pic has made the rounds before. or one just like it anyway.
You may have a point, there. However, I'm guessing you didn't see the other thing the Cruze is being recalled for. I don't recall ever hearing of a Japanese car they forgot to weld the back on properly. Or that has the clutch fluid leak out once the clutch gets worn.
The official recall Q&A: http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/acms/cs/jaxrs/download/doc/UCM423012/RCORRD-12V289-6767.pdf
It's pretty funny. Apparently if you drive it with a worn clutch, it leaks hydraulic fluid as well. And someone forgot to weld the back of the car on properly. From that document:
FINAL Q&A for 2011-2012 Chevrolet Cruze Underhood Fires and Potential Missing Rear Compartment Welds Safety Recalls. (Populations: U.S. 413,148; Canada 61,299; Export 701 [Israel only])
Q1. What is the proposed fix for the underhood fires?
A1. The engine shield, also known as the belly pan, can catch oil or other hot fluids that might drip from the engine. This occurs most often if an oil change is done improperly or improper parts are used. If these fluids make contact with hot engine parts, such as a manifold or catalytic converter, and then contact the engine shield, a fire could start and spread. Modifying the shield will help prevent any liquids from being trapped in the engine compartment. In Cruzes with manual transmissions, continued driving with a worn clutch may cause extremely hot or burning hydraulic fluid to leak from the manual transmission vent. Modifying the shield should also help prevent the hydraulic fluid from becoming trapped in the engine compartment, where a fire could start and spread.
Q3. What about the missing welds? How did this happen?
A3. A welding process error in one body shop station created a condition in which up to 249 cars may be missing some welds in the rear of the vehicle.
Q4. So what will you do to cars found missing welds?
A4. The first step is to inspect. Corrections will be made with mechanical fasteners (bolts and rivets) if necessary.
Q5. What if a customer with a car missing welds doesnt want it anymore? Will GM repurchase the car?
A5. We are always happy to work with customers. We believe the repair more than adequately addresses the missing welds issue.
I wouldn't be too happy about someone bolting and riveting my car together because they forgot to weld it up instead... You gotta wonder about it; if the lazy UAW asshats couldn't be bothered to weld the chassis together properly, what else did they 'forget' to do?
I checked with "sources" and that welding is robotic, so rather than some UAW guy, it was a programming error on the part of a white collar person.

'The Nightmare of Sleep' is part one of the 'Evolution of Imagination' which attempts to define what imagination is, how it functions, and trace its unique biological development in us, the Universe's first Time Lords. Every time you touch your forehead you are less than seven millimetres away from a biological computer with more processing power than all the world's computers linked together. Its main function is to run a unique application called 'Imagination' which allows us, Homo sapiens, to live in two coexisting worlds, both the physical and the virtual, simultaneously. Imagination is the hidden force that controls every aspect of our life, for we are all inseparably bound to our very own 'multi-dimensional virtual-reality processor'. On the face of it Imagination is a simple combination of two processes - the first is the ability to select a memory 'before' an event and the second is to be able to 'manipulate' it together with other memories, into a logical sequence, to predict an outcome. Yet this simple ability allows each of us to become a Time Lord, constantly travelling between the past, the present and the future, in less than the blink of an eye. Imagination is our very own subliminal problem solver, constantly running in the background to provide answers to 'what if' scenarios enabling us to mentally assess consequences, without having to hurt ourselves in the physical world, something no other member of the animal kingdom can do. Imagination feeds on Imagination growing exponentially so who knows where it will lead, are we at the dawn of virtual telepathy? Will Imagination physically change us again as it has already? Will it prove to be the saviour of our species or open a Pandora's Box of seismic proportions? Time will eventually tell but for now perhaps the only hope we have of unravelling the future is if we start by tracing the incredible evolutionary steps which led us to acquire this wonderful gift.

Choice of Godox or Metz external flash power pack
I need to get an external power pack for my Metz 58 flashgun. I have the choice of a Godox PB820 or a Metz P76. The Godox is half the price of the Metz P76. The question is - is the higher price of the Metz worth it? Does anyone have any views on these two choices, or experience with either or both? All views would be appreciated.

Update Notes
Updated on: 06/28/2015
Since we last visited OldestWomenSex...
I doubt that Guinness is going to be anointing this site with entrance into its book of records any time soon. So, even though the chicks on Oldest Women Sex might not actually be the oldest women to ever have sex, they're all definitely older than the typical coeds and young MILFs who populate so many of the porn sites out there.
Based on their looks alone I was guessing that they ranged in age from 40 to around 70. And sure enough I just did some browsing in the model index and of the ones who have a date of birth, I saw the years 1970, 1958 and 1940, so I wasn't too far off.
The design and navigation are fine and getting to the old-lady fun involves no more than heading into the photo or movie section and browsing the thumbnails. At this point there are 235 movies and 180 photo sets. Just keep in mind that the collection is mostly nonexclusive.
The pictures are high-res images and each set can be downloaded in a Zip file. As for the videos, when you land on the scene's page you have an embedded player just waiting for you to press play. You can also download the movie in Windows Media and MP4 formats. The movies are often excellent in quality and the MP4s also have a lower-quality option as well as one specifically marked for mobile devices.
The scenes are almost all straight one-on-one sex (there are some lesbian scenes too) and while the ladies are all mature, the dudes are usually much younger. Regardless of age, the men and women appear to be amateurs and it sounded like they were from somewhere in Eastern Europe (they don't speak English and there aren't any subtitles).
They're updating every day, but keep in mind that they don't necessarily add both a photo set and video each time. In fact, it's now been about two weeks since the last new video. I can't be sure that every scene is brand new, though, because a comparison of screenshots indicates that they sometimes rotate content too.
Beyond the main collection you get access to a "members pics" section filled with page after page of amateur old-lady photos, both soft and hardcore. And you can check out a handful of other sites, including Sexy Grandparents, Mature Share and Mature Sex Bomb.
All the bonus sites are focused on the older generation, which adds good value, since that's what brought you to Oldest Women Sex in the first place. Keeping the quality and update pace in mind as well as all of the old horny women, I think you can feel good about joining.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.


text: Currently the side navigation bar has a lot of space on either side of the items. I'd like to make this side bar thinner (that I know how to do) but need to know how to re-center the text items or remove the padding. I'm a bit of a newb but am hoping somebody understands what I want to do.

You know I am surprised that BOTH the Contestshipping and Advanceshipping fandoms are still going.
Its been like 5 years since AG ended, May's been gone for ages (other than the Wallace Cup), and the two ships about her still have tons of new fanart, fanfiction, and AMVs posted almost every week.
This is why I never understood how people thought May was being forgotten. I thought it was always obvious that May had one of the biggest fan followings of all the female protagonists, likely because she was the first new main girl and she was the reason Contests became popular in the show in the first place.
Even though I did like Dawn too, I honestly don't think she ever did reach May's level of popularity, at least outside of Japan.

Fitch has upgraded its rating outlook on Synovus
Financial Corporation ( SNV ) and its
subsidiaries from 'Negative' to 'Positive.' Moreover, the rating
agency has affirmed the Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs) - long-term
as well as short-term - for the company.
The rating agency reviewed Synovus under a peer review that
included 16 mid-tier regional banks including Associated
Banc-Corp ( ASBC ), BOK
Financial Corporation ( BOKF ) and
TCF Financial Corporation ( TCB ).
Rationale Behind Upgrade
The rating revision came on the back of constantly improving
asset quality metrics of the company. Fitch stated that the credit
risk of the company has stabilized and the company is persistently
looking to trim down the high levels of problem credits in the near
term. Further, Fitch believes that the company's strong capital
base is adequate to absorb credit losses in the future.
Further, the affirmation of ratings reflected the company's
elevated levels of non-performing assets (inclusive of accruing
TDRs) as well as a future outlook of weak earnings.
Fitch commented that the company's initiatives to lower the high
risk profile and stabilize its balance sheet by loan sales, loan
workouts and raising of equity have made modest progress. These are
anticipated to lead to improved operating results in the upcoming
quarters. Further, deferred tax asset (DTA) reversal of $800
million considerably enhanced core capital levels at the end of
However, Fitch warned that compared with other higher credit
rated banks in the peer group, Synovus' credit quality was
distinctly inferior. Therefore, core earnings will be substandard
compared with peer companies due to higher credit costs
pressurizing the bottom line.
This rating outlook revision depicts creditworthiness of the
company and will instill investors' confidence. Further, lower
non-performing assets and improving operating efficiencies will
help the stock sustain investors' interest.
However, we are concerned about the impacts of the prevailing
low interest rate environment, sluggish economic growth and
stringent regulatory landscape on the company's financials in the
subsequent quarters.
Synovus carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

Summary of One Up on Wall Street
How to Use What You Already Know to Make Money in the Market
Copyright © 1989 by Peter Lynch. Reprinted by permission of Simon & Schuster
Pages: 304
Your routines as a consumer can help you discover companies worth investing in – if you can read their market signals.
This book has become a classic of personal investment literature for good reasons. For one thing, watching Lynch lampoon Wall Street and its cadre of institutional investors is rich fun. He is, perhaps, the foremost money manager in the U.S., thanks to the success of Fidelity's multibillion-dollar Magellan Fund. Lynch says that when E.F. Hutton speaks, the average investor ought to take a nap. Although this is an updated edition, most of the content dates to "pre-bubble" 1989. As such, it offers haunting warnings about stocks with inflated price-to-earnings ratios. Warning to novice investors: Lynch is a Wharton grad who's been in the market since his college days and, as such, he tends to see stocks as simple and straightforward. Like the "Oracle of Omaha," Warren Buffett, he's a quintessential value investor who looks for undervalued companies in nuts-and-bolts industries. The difference, as Lynch puts it, is that he buys those companies' stocks, while Buffett buys those companies. getAbstract.com strongly recommends this book to those who govern their own portfolios.
In this summary, you will learn
- How to use Peter Lynch's investment theories
- Why ordinary citizens have an edge over institutional investors
- Which 13 characteristics to seek in an investment opportunity
- Why you should invest in companies, not stocks

I'm a double-newbie: new to Mac and Rails. Picked up a new Mac (finally) on Friday, and have had trouble getting my Rails app running ever since.
Here's what I've done, including this in THIS POST:
- installed RVM
- installed Ruby 1.87, latest Rails 3.07
- installed xCode
- sudo gem install sqlite3
- updated sqlite3 just for good measure
But no change in outcome:
Here's where bundle install chokes:
Installing sqlite3 (1.3.3) with native extensions /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems/installer.rb:551:in `build_extensions': ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError)
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby extconf.rb
checking for sqlite3.h... yes checking for sqlite3_libversion_number() in -lsqlite3... no sqlite3 is missing. Try 'port install sqlite3 +universal' or 'yum install sqlite3-devel' and check your shared library search path (the location where your sqlite3 shared library is located). * extconf.rb failed * Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more details. You may need configuration options.
tried sudo port install sqlite3 +universal, but failed on what looks like a path error: post: command not found
so tried again with explicit path to port: sudo /opt/local/bin/port install sqlite3
which was successful, then bundle install: same error as the first.
Is it a path issue? Compile? Frustrating.. :)
