Wanted: Cool Single Climbing Buddy
You've had the same climbing partner for three seasons; learned to deal with their peculiarities, even grown to love their dog. It's a marriage made in crag heaven. Then one day they meet their next significant other- their new climbing partner. That's it. That's all it takes. It's a break-up and the best way to get over it is to move on with someone else. The downside of rock climbing is that it's like tennis. You need a partner to play. Fortunately, there's always some signature climbing festival that sprouts come spring. Climbing fests are like speed dating events where after a ding of a bell, you've sampled the lot and usually found yourself a new partner, (and a new water bottle, chalk bag and routes to climb). You've also had one hell of a great time. After all, you're hanging out with a few hundred of your peers, climbing all day and rocking out all night. Read More

Jamie Lee Curtis Gets Real
The first thing I notice is her hair. When she greets me at the door of her Santa Monica home one overcast afternoon, Jamie Lee Curtis's hair is cropped, as it has been for as long as anyone can remember. But instead of the golden brown she maintained for years with the help of a colorist, it is now mostly silver and 100 percent chemical-free. At 47, this actress turned children's book author makes no secret of her desire to get real. Her hair is only the latest sign of how well she's succeeding.
Four years ago, Curtis and I collaborated on a piece for More that set off a tidal wave of publicity. The article was titled "True Thighs" — a twist on the title of Curtis's 1994 movie True Lies — and in it, Curtis did what actresses almost never do: She admitted her flaws. In the accompanying photographs, the woman who once starred as an aerobics instructor with a Barbie doll silhouette in a film titled Perfect, revealed she was anything but. Wearing unflattering spandex underwear and not a dab of makeup, Curtis looked straight into the camera, a big smile on her face, her midriff pooching slightly. Tired of the hype, she said, she wanted to reveal herself, thighs and all.
The article was pegged to the publication of her fifth book for children, I'm Gonna Like Me: Letting Off a Little Self-Esteem, a funny, wise primer on the importance of being your own biggest fan. But Curtis's decision to expose herself was more than a publicity stunt. It was an earnest attempt to remove herself from the swirl of celebrity that makes so many women — including Curtis — feel they can't measure up.
This time when we sit down in the dining room of the home she shares with her husband, actor-director Christopher Guest, and their 10-year-old son, Tommy (their older daughter, Annie, is away at college), the occasion is Curtis's seventh book, Is There Really a Human Race?, which hits stores this month. Before we get started, I have something for her: a copy of a pricey college textbook, The Meanings of Dress, in which the 2002 More article is reprinted. I assume she has seen the book before, but flipping to the page that shows the photos of her, she's clearly stunned. I realize that for all the accolades she has won as an actress and as a best-selling author, Curtis is still surprised to discover that she has been taken seriously.
The Impact of Curtis in Spandex
Curtis: Wow, Amy! Wow! Well, that makes me feel like this may have some life. This has some legs.
Wallace: It does indeed. It has some thighs.
Curtis: It has some big old chunk thighs.
Wallace: So, the last time we met, you decided to take on the oppression of body image and, through your own example, debunk it. The reaction was astounding. Tell me about the aftermath for you.
Curtis: The piece was a way of making amends, of saying, "I'm sorry I made you feel less than. Because I am just like you." That was my goal. I knew that on some level, women who had struggled with that would appreciate it. I did not anticipate for a second the bigger reaction to it and the continuing reaction to it. It turns out it will probably be the single biggest contribution I may ever make as a public figure.
Wallace: Do people still mention it to you?
Curtis: Probably once a week. Just today, in the market, somebody came up and said it was important. Because I think it gave them a bit of permission to be who they are.
By the way, I do Pilates, I do yoga, I exercise, I eat very carefully. I'm not saying obesity or lack of exercise is fine. I'm saying, "This is what I look like and I do that." I've had to accept that part of me. I have a name for my middle here. [Pats her tummy] Her name is Midge. When I do Pilates, we talk about Midge. "Pull in Midge."
Some critics misunderstood the More article a little bit. They thought of it as being psychobabble — analysis-driven action. But it had nothing to do with some need on my part to expose. That photo shoot was tied to my book about self-esteem. How can I sell a book about self-esteem if I'm not willing to acknowledge that I too have self-esteem issues?
Curtis on Parenthood & Her Career
Wallace: Your new book with illustrator Laura Cornell is about competition. Are you competitive?
Curtis: I am really competitive. But this book was born because my little boy, Tommy, came home from school one day with tears in his eyes, looked up at me and said, "Is there really a human race?" The subtext of what he was saying was, "Why didn't you tell me I'm just here to perform?"
Tommy is a child with a profound learning difference. He's in a special school for kids who all learn differently. And I think this question was prescient of him. I think it was clear that he couldn't do the monkey dance like everybody else, and he was starting to feel, "What's wrong with me?" He'd gotten a message that it was a race, and he was losing. I said, "It's not a race, Tommy. You misunderstood, Sweetheart. It's not a race. That's just an expression people use."
I'm not saying there can't be healthy competition. But the obsession with competition is what this book is about.
Wallace: One of my favorite lines in the book is "Sometimes it's better not to go fast. There are wonderful sights to be seen when you're last."
Curtis: Right. Who ever talks about being at the end of the line? It's always about being up at the front. How many times do you see people with those freaking foam fingers that say, "We're #1!"?
All of us are on a hamster wheel. There's no stopping and taking a deep breath and going, "Why am I here?" If anybody runs as fast as they can to keep that hamster wheel going, it's me. But ultimately, all that hamster running left me empty.
Wallace: Are you finished with acting?
Curtis: The great majority of my time now is spent advocating for my son. Even with his wonderful specialized school, he does need extra help, and it's my job to help him get it. This is a time in my life to focus almost exclusively on Tom. He deserves it. I deserve it. Our family deserves it. Chris told me someone came up to him the other day and said, "Hey, I've got a script for Jamie. Can I send it to her?" And he said, "Where is it being shot?" They said, "Canada, for two months, this summer, and she's in every scene." Chris said, "If you can shrink it to two days in Santa Monica, she might take a look at it." And that's really where I'm at. Up the street from our house last night, they were shooting a movie. And the trees were illuminated with bright light. And I looked at Chris and I said, "I'm so happy that I'm not the one in that trailer." I know it's fun for some people. And I hear some actors in their seventies say that they still love to go to the set. But I don't love it anymore. I just don't. I like it. I'm happy to do it, if it works out. But I am so protective of my time.
Now, a lot of women are going to read that and say, "Oh, sure. Thanks a lot for making me feel that because I'm working, I'm somehow not doing right by my children." I know that I am lucky. My point is, if you can afford to, you have to look at how much time you're spending. There is nothing you will regret more in your life — nothing — than not being present for your children.
Curtis on Creating a Life for Herself
Wallace: You made a point, the last time we talked, of noting that this house was bought with money you and Chris earned, not inherited family money. Why is it so important to you that people know that?
Curtis: I wish it weren't as important, because there are a lot of more important things to talk about, quite frankly. I gave a speech recently and spoke right after Victoria Rowell. She's an actress and an author, and she was in foster care for 18 years. What she had to say was really moving. At a turning point in her life, someone told her that she didn't have to be a product of her fate, that she could be a product of her actions. And when I got up to talk, I was very moved. Because I've spent a lot of my life being a product of fate, which is, you know, fighting against what people assumed of me. The silver-spoon assumption about me was something I needed to defy. It's such an old tape that it's an eight-track, but it still works: I had nothing but privilege all my life because I am the daughter of the movie stars Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis. So ultimately, I still have to say, I've never received a penny from my family. And I mean a penny.
People often feel that because my family is a particular kind of family, I have to be a particular kind of person. But off that calcified lump of a family, it's very hard to create an individual life. The essential you may be very different from that calcified lump that you're attached to. That's where my hope lies.
A friend of mine gave me a book of meditations. I'm not a big meditator. I'd like to be — it's a goal. So far, I'm resisting. But I picked up this book, and it said that at the time of death, people who live mindfully ask themselves just two questions. Period. Now, every single day, I ask myself the questions: Did I learn to live wisely? Did I love well?
Curtis on Her Parents' Influence
Wallace: Your mother died in 2004. What changes has that brought for you?
Curtis: It's been two years now since she died. I've been able to let her go. And because of that, I've been able to take care of her husband, Bob, in a way that would have been hard for her to do, and I've made changes in her house that she might not have been comfortable making. But I also appreciate my mother deeply for what she was able to do, given her circumstances. I have been able to honor her more.
I need to be careful here. My father had nothing to do with my raising. That isn't a statement of anger. I have a perfectly lovely relationship with him. But my mother and my step-father raised me and my sister, Kelly. My mother instilled very good qualities in both of us, and I give her all the credit for it, although we may not have had this deeply emotional bond that you would like to have with your mother.
So I clearly have sought that bond from other people. That's where my girlfriends have come in. I have learned to be the woman I am today because of my girlfriends. My mother taught me a business ethic, a professional ethic; she taught me a basic kindness and gave me a very grounded sense. But it was my women friends who taught me how to be a woman. They have really shown me the way that you would hope a mother would.
Wallace: When you adopted your two kids, did you feel as if you had to teach yourself how to parent?
Curtis: Yes. As my friend Naomi Foner [a screenwriter and mother of actors Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal] says, "Raising a child is the only relationship you have where if you do it right, it will end in separation." The goal is that they have their own mind. Not your mind. Not your parents' minds. Their own mind. That they go to a school that they want to go to, not that you went to. That they are doing jobs that they are interested in, not because that's what my mom or dad did.
Curtis on Friendships & Marriage
Wallace: You've called Foner and your other girlfriends your Estrogen Posse.
Curtis: Yes. My friends have basically fertilized me. In every way. And out of all of that, I've come to exist as an individual flower of my own creation. I always thought I was some sort of cutting from each of those plants. But I have truly come into my own. For better or worse, by the way.
For example, I am a decent cook now. My mother, let's just say, was very thin and leave it at that. Food was not something that was a pleasure in life and therefore not something that was a pleasure in our growing up. So I've had to learn to enjoy food and to cook.
Wallace: You've been married for almost 22 years. How have you learned to make that work?
Curtis: Marriage is an evolution, and you only hope that you evolve with it — if not intertwined, then on parallel paths. When we married, we were both actors. Since then, Chris has become a director who rarely acts in other people's movies — although he was wonderful in Mrs. Henderson Presents. And I've done commercial endorsements, written seven books for children, become a recovering alcoholic publicly, and we've had two children. Both of us have lost parents — he lost his father right when Tommy was born. And all of that yields different people at different times. If you're lucky.
Wallace: Do you think one of the keys is, for lack of a better phrase, to give each other space?
Curtis: There's a lot of space in our marriage. When we first got married, we were reading William Safire's "On Language" column in the New York Times, and he mentioned that a syzygy is a pair of opposites. We named our company Syzygy Industries, because Chris and I are that in every way. And it has been challenging to find common ground. It's not been great all the time. It has been an almost-22-year untangling. Me untangling myself and him going, "Hey, wait a minute! Who are you now?" He has had to learn who I really am. And it's maybe not the woman that I pretended to be. He's had his mind blown that I read Us magazine, you know what I mean? Because for years, I would only walk around with The Nation in my hand. But we've navigated it. In that has been the hope, because I can always reach out and there he is. And he can always reach out and there I am. And because we've untangled a lot of the knots, there's also been some real appreciation on both our parts for who that other person is becoming, is daring to be.
Curtis on Finding Her Own Voice
Wallace: What else have you untangled?
Curtis: Well, at one point, I hung out with really smart lefty people and the next thing you know, I was this lefty girl. But you know what? I don't know where I stand on abortion. I know I don't believe that the state has any right on any level to decide what happens in a woman's body. But I am the mother of two adopted children. My life has been immeasurably changed by being a mother to these two kids. And I wouldn't be a mother if someone had aborted those two kids. So it's complicated. For years, whatever my friends said, I said, that's what I believe too. But I actually have a very personal, emotional, opinion about it.
Wallace: You're on a roll. Keep going.
Curtis: Okay. Hang me out to dry, but I'm a big believer that all kids should wear uniforms. Kids get in a lot of trouble with clothing, status symbols, the demarcation lines that make people feel less than, more than. I think it should be based on a lot of other factors and not on what you wear. Now, that's an unpopular point of view for liberals. They want everyone to be "free to be you and me" all the time. I want them to express themselves. I just don't want that horrible demarcation line that happens in life to happen earlier than it should.
Curtis on Self-Esteem
Wallace: Again, it's about self-esteem. Back in 2002, you told me that you hoped that someday soon, you'd feel sure enough of yourself to "look like just me. There is a me that I will get to that will say to the editors of magazines, 'This is what I wear, this is how I wear my hair.' . . . I'm going to look the way God intended me to look — with a little help from Manolo Blahnik." When I saw your beautiful silver hair today, I wondered: Are you there yet?
Curtis: I'm almost there. I virtually never have to put on other people's clothes anymore. [She looks down at her feet. Instead of Manolo Blahniks, there are flip-flops. She laughs.] I'm wearing Reef flip-flops with orthotics in them. That's how pathetic I am! But I feel much more authentic. I'm not saying I'm a spiritually perfect person. I'm flawed and contradictory and fraught in many areas. But I'm better. I'm growing, and that's all I really want.
Wallace: On the jacket of your first book, you described yourself as "a mother, wife, daughter, actress, director, equal opportunity employer, inventor, friend, and now, an author." The author's biography for the third book called you "a moody actor." The fourth book said, "Jamie Lee Curtis moonlights as an actor, photographer, and closet organizer." How is this book going to describe you?
Curtis: Maybe I have to write it right now. It will say: "Jamie Lee Curtis is a card-carrying member of the human race and proud of it. She is also proud to be the mother of Annie and Tom and the wife of Chris and friend to many." That'll probably do it.

Best Magnesium Malate
Posted by OrganicGirl on May 23, 2013
I use 6 tablets every day for years now to relieve cramps, migraine and pain caused by Ehlers Danlos. Will also relieve pain from MCS/Fibro. Feel free to visit my page (click on my name) for more reviews.
Great product combining both magnesium and malate.
Posted by iJenNZ on Jul 16, 2012
I have problems tolerating supplements but this is one that I have no problems with. Magnesium malate is the form of magnesium that is recommended for those with the Multi System disorders (MCS, FM, CFS etc) but is especially useful for people with Fibromyalgia. There are so many things I have noticed that have improved or disappeared since I have been able to take magnesium regularly. For instance I used to get very painful outer ears whenever they got cold but that no longer happens. Likewise, I no longer get muscle cramps in my toes in bed at night which contributes to a better night's sleep though I have found to prevent this I need to get the right balance between magnesium, calcium, sodium chloride and potassium. Potassium I get via one banana per day and sodium chloride via the Redmond's Real Salt I add to food (I do not eat processed foods therefore do not get any salt from this source). I have found that I only need a very small amount of calcium to prevent the cramps. Too much, and they come back again. About 150mg calcium per day is what works for me. This product has helped me in so many ways, I consider it number one among the "must haves". It is great it is also available in this large size that goes so much further and also gives the economy of buying a bulk amount.
Relieves pain
Posted by Reviewer1471527 on Nov 17, 2010
I take this for fibromyalgia. It helps me sleep really well, relieves my pain and restless legs. I take 3-4 at night. If I forget to take it, I will wake up in pain. I get up, take it and relax and fall back to sleep immediately. Extremely effective. Better than any pain pills or muscle relaxers!!
Posted by Reviewer1559362 on Nov 28, 2009
The best malic acid I have tried. I can take 4 tablets and get over 3gms of malic acid without getting too much magnesium at once (such that my body sends it straight through me) but just enough to stay in my body and be effective. Seems to ease fibromyalgia pain. Yay! And doesn't taste yuck like some expensive speciality brands that go straight through you at the same dose.
Take daily

This has helped my migraines and my fibromyalgia
Posted by Reviewer2132271 on Sep 02, 2010
This helps me sleep. Less pain, no restless leg syndrome,no migraines when I take this. I"m a happy camper. I discovered, and it may have been in iherb's library, that migraine folk and fibromyalgia folk, in fact chronic pain people in general are often deficient in magnesium. This is just the ticket. I read that it was the most healthy, assimilatable version of magnesium. Don't take it with calcium. Magnesium helps you assimilate calcium, but not the other way around. A fibro friend took these and had the first sound sleep in years.

Gives you the energy that Fibromyalgia takes from you
Doctor recommended for fibromyalgia
Posted by Reviewer1741963 on Feb 13, 2010
Have been using Source Naturals Mag. Malate since the early 90s, after being diagnosed w/ fibromyalgia following an auto accident. An enlightened doctor (rare for that time) recommended it to me. It's a far superior solution to taking drugs like anti-depressants, which are commonly prescribed for fibro by doctors who don't know any better. Source Naturals is a brand I've relied on for vitamins and other supplements, as well.
Magnesium Malate
Posted by Reviewer1758213 on Aug 02, 2011
I buy Magnesium Malate for my wife because it helps ease her aches and pain in her muscles and joints.
Excellent for muscle pain and cramps
Posted by reflexheather on Jan 29, 2014
Excellent helps with muscle aches. I take New Chapter Zynflamend, Drs Best hyaluronic Acid, Source Naturals salmon oil with these and severe pain has completely disappeared. There are different forms of magnesium, for any muscle pain magnesium malate is the best form to take. I have worked for two of Dublin's top health stores for 10 years and am now a holistic practitioner. I hope you found this review helpful.

In the treatment of bipolar disorder, family therapy can be used to help limit the stress the disorder can cause not only to people who have the condition, but the loved ones who help them cope and otherwise are exposed to the symptoms of the condition.
Family therapy is one of several classes of psychotherapy, also known as talk therapy, which is often used in the management of bipolar disorder.
Psychotherapy is commonly used in conjunction with other treatments, such as medications, in order to help people with bipolar disorder manage their condition.
Though there are many forms of therapy, talk therapy generally helps the patients learn more about a relevant illness, clarify their knowledge of its effect on themselves and the people around them, and learn healthy ways to deal with the issue.
How Does Family Therapy Fit In
Bipolar disorder can not only strain the person who has the condition, but his or her family and friends as well.
Family therapy is designed to help loved ones cope with a broad spectrum of problems, including mental illness in a family member.
How Does Family Therapy Work
Family therapy not only focuses on the problems a family is facing, but how its members communicate, interact, and deal with things. The overall goals are to improve communication between the members, and identify and counter unhealthy interactions and coping mechanisms.
In the event that a family member has a mental illness such as bipolar disorder, there is an educational component of therapy which is aimed at helping the family members learn how to best help their loved one.
I want to know how to help. Explore more articles.
Who Can Benefit from Family Therapy
This therapy is focused on families and their particular issues.
Side Effects
Talk therapy does not have direct physical side effects, but will almost certainly involve discussing the patient's issues in front of at least one other person (the therapist) and possibly a number of other people. In the case of family therapy, this means the patient could very well be talking about very personal topics with relatives.
Psychotherapy is widely available through hospitals and private mental health practices. Many employers offer therapy through their employee assistance programs.
An illness like bipolar disorder not only affects the person who has it, but their loved ones as well.
Family therapy can help a family dealing with bipolar disorder learn to better manage how they cope with the condition.
What The Expert Says
"Family therapy is an essential component which should be practiced in addition to medication and personal psychotherapy sessions," Dr. Soroya Bacchus, a psychiatrist who practices in California, said. "By engaging family in the process, everyone becomes educated and aware of the situation and the likelihood of returning to a 'normal' dynamic in the family system is much higher. This is obviously not applicable in every situation, but when possible it should always be incorporated as it has been shown to produce positive outcomes."

So the employer folds and the union gets more rights.
So the employer folds and the union gets more rights.
The employer folds, meaning they keep on people they don't need, wasting money that they could be using to improve the service.
Now you're being Mr. slippery-slope
listen the editor. the free market system doesn't work. idle labor is not efficiently allocated to other industries. in this light it is important that as few people lose their jobs as possible. considering the inefficiencies of the free market, there must be an institution that makes sure decisions regarding labor are not based solely on profit.
the point of strikes is to force other cost-cutting measures. often times they are available. for example they could reduce management salaries, suspend bonuses and dividends, sell stock, and look for other ways to reduce overhead rather than cutting labor. this is because people need jobs to survive, and the labor market does not efficiently re-allocate labor. and in our modern day when well paying jobs are being destroyed, it is important than if someone has a good manufacturing job they should stay on it as long as possible.
even if a company pays them to stand around. if they can afford it they should be made to do so. because if they CAN afford it then the money saved from labor would simply be redistributed to executives and shareholders. if after all other cost cutting measures have been employed they still cannot afford all the labor, then they should cut some so that other jobs can still remain; but not a moment before.
The point of a company isn't to provide jobs, and it never should be.
Because it undermines the fundamental reason why businesses exist: to provide services or goods in exchange for other services or goods. If you create a business purely to provide jobs, you will inevitably reduce your ability to efficiently produce goods or services. This means other companies will be able to undercut you and that's it, you're out of the game. Everybody loses their job and they're all no better off than when they started.
alright i just wanted to see if you'd actually give an answer
anyway that wasnt the point of my post at all. the point was that providing good jobs should come as a responsibility to a company while it produces. until those jobs become burdensome to the point of interfering with the ability to produce. IF they do then job cuts can start, AFTER alternate cost-cutting measures have been enacted. not a single job should be cut or reduced until executive compensation has declined by about 80% of thereabouts. it should be a last resort. for several reasons.
of course there is the reason that people need jobs to live and that the free market cannot efficiently reallocate labor. also this is a problem for the entire economy. in a recession it will make sense for each firm to cut employees and hours as demand decreases. but when everyone does that there is a further demand slump. this is because the crown jewel of capitalism's failure is that perfectly sensible and preferable microeconomics decisions often collude to produce macroeconomic disaster. the easier it is for firms to cut jobs, the more they will do so. in a recession, more jobs will be cut. more job cuts, decreased demand. it is a cycle essentially of no short-term end without significant intervention to force firms to retain jobs.
besides this is all outside the scope of YOUR original argument. that being that unions seeking to save jobs will cause the entire company to fold. not if alternative cost cutting measures are successful. if they are not then jobs can be cut. a union has a job to do, that being to look out for its workers. a union should not allow job cuts until all other means of cost cutting and improving efficiency has been tried. thats really what its down to.
Yes, a union has a duty to its members to keep their jobs no matter what the cost to the company. However, the needs of the company should also be considered. It can be far more efficient to reduce a superfluous workforce, but the union will fight it. My point is that at the current time some unions have too much power and that they abuse that power. For example, the underground unions regularly strike over things like pay, despite being paid far more than most people with similar qualifications. These strikes affect not just TFL but also millions of people who have nothing to do with this and would just like to get to work on time for once.
By the way, there is a problem with cutting pay to management: they can get other jobs, with better pay.
unions need more power in Britain, their power is extremely insufficient and industrialised nations like Germany which promote corporatism and worker relations are having productive economies. that's an argument which needs to be lumped in here rather than a theoretical debate about the purpose of collective bargaining in a free-market economy and its flaws in terms of capitalism
i probably have a wrong idea on what a union actually is. anyone care to enlighten me?
workers in a particular company or trade come together to negotiate contracts for their workers. the contracts will stipulate terms of pay but also terms of conduct by the employer for scheduling, dismissal, work conditions etc so if a worker feels he is being treated unfairly by the employer he can have a union representative demand the contract be enforced. usually they will restrict non-union workers from entering whatever is unionized so the contracts cant be undercut, and declare strikes if they can't come to an agreement with the employer. in the US at least once a union has been formed employers are legally obliged to bargain 'in good faith' meaning they have to make reasonable concessions in terms of pay, worker protection, etc.

In this very thread, I shall amass my forces of hood and whip them into a killer commando unit capable of creating controlled chaos on command.
Once this phase is complete I will implement Phase II: Operation Rebirth.
In this very thread, I shall amass my forces of hood and whip them into a killer commando unit capable of creating controlled chaos on command.
Once this phase is complete I will implement Phase II: Operation Rebirth.
Just do it.
To amass people you first need to have friends, to have friends you need to open up. To open up you need confidence. To have confidence you need to experience things in life. Have you done this? Will you succeed in this Operation of Rebirth? When one has yet to die? Or does the idea of Rebirth not always mean in death. Rebirth can be a change of views or opinions. I am with it. Operation Rebirth commencing.
(Just do it)
No you are but the first of many! I knew I was getting ahead of myself... No operations! Welcome padawon!
Just do it.
What are you even doing here? Do you have a life? You aint on our level. You are a low maggot in the chain of life. Your the epitome of a slug. So slug your way off this.
Why would it be his fault, each and everyone of us is an individual.
No, I can. I just have to GTFO after a few minutes.
Not all, please don't include the general population when you yourself are tainted like you said. That means no touching little kids seven.
You're tormented too, babe. In your own special way.
Why call me babe? Its a sweet thing to say but yah not with it. Also kinda weird when I see your name and under it all it says is Dicks Dicks Dicks. So I agree you are tormented =)
Because from the way that you type, you're probably quite attractive.
Lol what? You can tell how someone looks due to the way they talk? And still think your a dude
Mhm. Those that are confident don't need to care about silly things such as typos and poor grammar. They type however they want, because they're the alpha male.
Well I'll disagree on certain topics, 1) People who are confident still look out for grammar and typos. I personally suck at spelling and with grammar. 2) I do agree that if your not reaching out to professionals then your work doesn't need to have a professional swing/style.
Eww why would you want that?
Just do it.

fiesta fiesta (8 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
I had the unique opportunity to create this creative engagement fiesta for two of my closest friends, celebrating their engagement. The bride loves Mexican food, so in discussions with my partner in crime, we decided to take the Mexican theme and run with it.
We really wanted to wow guests so instead of a traditional invitations we worked with a stationer to create a poster size invitation that was rolled up around a mini bottle of beer salt, and mailed to each guest in a poster tube. This really set the tone for the type of event we were creating.
We used bright colors, mixed patterns, and tons and tons and tons of mustaches to turn the basement of a steak & seafood joint until our own personal fiesta! We mixed bright colored linens and made our own overlay out of old Mexican blankets {found online} by fraying the edges.
We worked with a florist to create colorful centerpieces and then our team used leftover wild flowers and placed them inside Mexican beer bottles to decorate the tables. We even cut a hole in large pinatas, placing vases inside, and had flowers coming out of the top of the pinatas.
We hung sombreros on the back of each chair and put mustaches on a stick inside all the centerpieces - encouraging guests to get creative with the decor. We used a local scrap booking stores machine to create hundreds of mustaches, hole punched them, and stuck a straw through the middle, this was decoration for our margarita station, as well as functional and fun for those drinking margaritas all evening! Guests really loved these and it made for some fantastic photos!
Around the room we placed disposable cameras with signs that said "say queso!" and encouraged guests to use the decor as accessories and capture the moments. We searched for creative margarita recipes online and came up with four we knew the bride and groom would love! We had a margarita station, self-service, and used old masonry jars adorned with mustaches on a straw instead of glasses.
At a local craft store we purchased picture frames, large and small, and spray painted them bright colors to match the event. We then made some into chalkboards, using them for the bar and favor table. We turned the others into picture frames and displayed photos of the couple around the room.
At a local craft store we purchased wood cutouts, painted them with chalkboard paint, and then wrote quotes about marriage we found to perfectly describe this quirky couple! We used wicker furniture to create a lounge, and decorated it with pillows we made out of the old Mexican blankets. We used the left over pillows to decorate each of the chairs the guests sat at for the meal. In the lounge area we asked guests to jot down some "wit, wisdom, & wishes" for the soon to be husband and wife.
After the cocktail portion of the evening we surprised the couple with a mariachi band, guests enjoyed the music and danced the night away!
For the favors we a pebeo porcelaine gel & pen {found at a local craft store} to draw mustaches on mugs. We added a "muchas gracias" tag" to thank guests for celebrating with Grant & Nicolle. We created a chalkboard sign out of a picture frame found at a local craft store and used chalkboard paint and chalk pens to write "so sorry you {mustache} but please grab a gift to remember the bash".

Swimming & Diving Victorious Over Valparaiso
Jan. 9, 2005
Valparaiso, Ind.- Even after a six-week layoff from dual meet competition, the University of Illinois at Chicago swimming and diving team showed no signs of rust in dominating road victories for both the men's and women's squads over Valparaiso on Saturday.
The UIC men took a 140-61 decision, while the women earned a 135-95 win.
UIC took 19 of the first 20 events, competing in the final six races as exhibitions.
Brian Kroes led the way for the men with two distance victories, taking the 500 and 1000 free events.
Seven different swimmers grabbed wins for the women. Leading the way was senior Stephanie Murphy, who continued her fine campaign two years removed from shoulder surgery with a win in the 100 fly (1:01.81).
Sarah Economides and Mark Pappalardo chalked up one-meter diving wins. The Flames went 1-2-3 on both the men's and women's sides of the event.
Ball State was originally scheduled to compete with UIC and Valpo at the meet, but blizzard-like conditions in Muncie, Indiana prevented Ball State from traveling.
UIC returns to action next Saturday in a Horizon League dual meet against UW-Green Bay in the home finale at the UIC Natatorium beginning with one-meter diving at 12:30 p.m. The swimming schedule of the meet starts right after diving, along with Senior Day festivities.

If we read the letters of St. Paul in the order in which they were written, we see that Paul displays an increasing awareness of his sinfulness as life goes on. "Paul, apostle of Christ Jesus," he begins. Later he says, "Apostle and servant." Yet later he declares himself "not worthy to be called an apostle", and finally, he calls himself "the chief of sinners." Contrary to what some of our critics say, we in the Church and in the pro-life movement are not self-righteous people who think we are better than everyone else and want to tell others how to live. Rather, we begin with repentance, realizing that we recognize the sins in the world only after we've recognized our own. That is the spirit in which we build a culture of life.
–Fr. Frank

Posts Tagged 'Geek'
Speak Friend And Enter
Hello and welcome to my first post! Have you noticed that most blogs use their first post to talk about what the blog is going to be about? I mean, isn't that what the "About" page is for? What if someone comes to your blog 5 posts in and they want to know what your blog is all about but your first post has dropped to the next page?!! They would be completely lost!! Mayhem would ensue. Ok, maybe it wouldn't be that bad, but still, I won't have that.
Instead, I'll just get right into it.
Geek cred. We all want it. Since technology is rapidly leaving so many people behind, those who understand it best (so-called geeks) become the people everyone relies on for help. Suddenly they're not so uncool. Also, many things in geek culture are becoming more mainstream.
Because it's become a lot cooler to be a geek and no longer a stigma, many people are getting into it. Glasses are being worn by hipsters with perfectly adequate vision. Models are donning slave Leia cosplay and saying, "Look boys, I'm a geek too. And I've got boobies." San Diego Comic-Con sells out within hours.
So, how in all of this can we tell the difference between those who are truly geeks and those who are just posing? Obviously being into geek culture is a big sign but anyone can claim they're a Browncoat or a Ringer. I think to truly be a nerd you have to not care what people think of your interests. A poser pretends to like geeky things so people like them. A true geek likes geeky things and hopes people will still like them despite it.

Mountain Bike Thursday - Intro into Enduro Mountain Bike Racing
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Mountain Bike Radio Talks with Jeremy and Heather about what new format of Mountain Bike racing called Enduro. According to Wikipedia they have this to say about Enduro
Enduro (ND) is a relatively new format which appears to have taken some inspiration from both car rally and motorbike enduro racing. Mountain bike enduro is essentially the competitive side of the mountain biking format often referred to today as "All-Mountain". It is a stage-race format where the winner is the rider who accumulates the lowest combined time from the various timed sections. Mountain bike enduro competitions typically take place over the course of 1 or 2 days, however, week-long enduro competitions do also exist. A typical one-day enduro race consists of 3 to 5 timed "special" stages which take place on technically demanding, generally descending terrain. These special stages are linked by predominantly ascending "liaison" stages. Although a rider's specific performance on the physically demanding liaison stages does not affect his or her result, the liaisons are often associated with a time-cut off (i.e. a latest permitted arrival at the summit of the next special stage). The sport has taken root in mostly in the Northwest of United States, a location known for its miles of winding single-track trails alongside old growth forest and bubbling creeks. Northwest Epic Series is the most famous series in Washington state that offers race distances ranging from 30 miles all the way to 100 miles.
Summary from Mountain Bike Radio (Colorado Based)
Into Enduro," hosted by Macky Franklin is dedicated to all things Enduro. Macky will be discussing the who, what, why and how of Enduro mountain biking as well as equipment choice, what races to attend, training for Enduros and why you'll love it.
Macky hails from Taos, NM where he spent his teenage years riding into the mountains and ricocheting down loose rocky trails wearing only spandex for protection. At eighteen he won Semi-Pro Short Track National Championships and shortly afterwards got his Pro upgrade . For the next couple of years he tried to balance racing and attending Middlebury College in Vermont and graduated in 2011 with Departmental Honors in Computer Science.
In the last couple of years, Macky has become more involved in Super D and Enduro while continuing to pursue his dream of representing the USA at the 2016 Olympics in Cross Country (XCO). In 2012, he finished 4th at Downieville All-Mountain World Championships, 3rd at Super D National Championships, 2nd at Single Speed World Championships and won the inaugural Single Speed Stage Race World Championships. In 2013, he plans to race a full Cross Country and Enduro schedule including stops at numerous World Cups, the majority of the Big Mountain Enduro and Pro XCT series, multiple World Championships and at least one of the Enduro World Series races.

Hello Coils,
Omega Weapons has had those rubber buffers (new) but I don't see them listed on his site. You may want to email Don and ask.
Hello Coils,
Omega Weapons has had those rubber buffers (new) but I don't see them listed on his site. You may want to email Don and ask.
Thanks Viper. I'll get a hold of him and see if he has anymore, if not I'll have to find something to make one (some) from.
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
Hello Coils,
There are others I do believe making and selling those rubber PPSh-41 buffers.
If you want to try your hand at making some... make a 2-piece mold from a bakelite original buffer block in silicone or bondo or whatever. Then cast urethane 2-component rubber in it. Don't forget the release agent lest it all get glued together !!! haha.
A suggestion is to make a custom variant for your special off-set recoil spring design. Check with I.O. to see if they have such a buffer.
Buffer tech had them for $13 last time i was there.... they were the yellow ones.
my ppsh buffer is just made out of Delryn(sp)..
here it is bub...
PPSh41 / Semi SR41 [BT-BUF-011] - $14.95 : GrandMasters L.L.C., GrandMasters L.L.C.
Watching "detractors" devote so much time, effort & resources to get ZERO results = Life on the Net.
Knowing that it would change nothing on the net if they did succeed... PRICELESS.
Building or Bitching? which are you here to do?
YES, i work for TEC Tactical. 02/07 SOT
Mark, yeah I really like the looks of the M56, I haven't decided yet if it's going to be a pistol or SBR. The only down side of these is the limited number of mags in the country, I know people say the PPs43 mags can be modded to work but it would be nice to have a couple originals.
Viper I was thinking of something like that, make them, but the one I got with the kit started getting beat up already and I glued some thin rubber to it to hold it together.
Dutigaf/SDK1968 thanks for the company name and link, I Googled that brand and found them at Midway, with my FFL discount + S&H I ordered 2 for $26, so I'll have a spare to copy if it's needed later.
He's probably at work and getting paid to screw around on the forums.Shouldn't you be at work.....not playin hooky are ya?

Gardening Articles: Landscaping :: Yard & Garden Planning
by Patricia Acton with the NG
Ask a gardening friend about willows and he or she will likely recall the large weeping types and all their charming if often dubious qualities. Though unquestionably graceful and picturesque at the edges of ponds and streams, these trees can grow over 70 feet tall and are notoriously weak-wooded and messy. The reputation of their moisture-seeking roots for breaching pipes and the foundations of houses is also, unfortunately, too true.
Look beyond these giants, however, and you'll find another world of smaller, more manageable willows with brightly colored stems and leaves, unique forms and textures, and stunning catkins (the "pussies" of pussy willows).
If you've ever bought cut pussy willow stems from a florist to brighten the house in winter, you might enjoy growing your own for cutting at will. The catkins appear in late winter or very early spring and are easily forced into earlier bloom if brought into a warm house. And the color range is surprising: the catkins range from typical silver gray to soft pink. Some are even ebony black.
My own introduction to willows was born of laziness. I figured it would be a lot easier to choose plants that would thrive in the low, damp areas of my property than to raise or drain those areas. And because my garden is just 1/3 acre, I wanted plantings that would mature no larger than large shrubs or small trees. While I was thinking of willows primarily as a solution to planting in wet soil, I discovered many small tree and shrub forms that deserve a place of honor in the garden.
Willow flowers are tiny and come clustered in catkins. All willows are dioecious, meaning individual plants have either all-male or all-female catkins. The male catkins are usually finer-textured, and with their colorful stamens, are also much more ornamental.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by CoastalGal Great looking and functional too! This is the cutest drink dispenser ever! I have used it the past two weekends in a row for entertaining on our back deck. Myself and a few others are not alcohol drinkers so I always like to have something for us besides the beer and wine for others. I used this to serve lemonade and it was perfect. Party guests could serve themselves whenever they needed a refill. It was plenty large enough for 5 non-drinking guests and there was still some left over. The best part of all is that this dispenser does NOT leak at all! There is a real nice seal around the spigot from the inside of the dispenser. It was easy to clean as well. I don't mind that the spigot is plastic, as long as it doesn't leak and it didn't. I would highly recommend this. I also received the matching butter dish as a housewarming gift and it is cute and just as perfect! April 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by songspring Just couldn't stop thinking about it World Market sent me an email with the matching butter dish pictured and I could not believe I had finally found a butter dish with a knob, and to top it off, literally, the knob is a bird. When I went to the store to buy it, I saw this little crock, and could not stop thinking about it. I filter my water in glass pitchers, and the light exposure can make green things grow rather quickly in the water. The size is just right for one person's water supply, and no lugging bottles around. Besides it looks adorable on my table right near the aqua Chinese bird lamp I painted and under a beautiful painting, spattered with turquoise. Hopefully no harmful chemicals in the glaze. Sweetest crock ever! March 3, 2013

Naomie Harris
London, England
"For some reason I just lack that ability to be embarrassed about going up to people. I even do it for friends if they want to ask someone out."
-Naomie Harris on her extroverted personality.
Naomie Harris is best known for her work opposite Cillian Murphy and Brendan Gleeson in the British import 28 Days Later, though appearances in movies like Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and Miami Vice introduced her to a whole new audience, but more importantly she's stars as the latest incarnation of Ms. Moneypenny in Skyfall, the latest James Bond film.
And although she's a recognizable name in her native Britain, Naomie is still working on breaking through in the North American market -- where she's primarily known for 28 Days Later , her performances of Calypso in the two Pirates of the Caribbean sequels and the remake of Miami Vice. She has had her work recognized by her peers though, having won a Best Breakthrough Performance Award from Black Reel.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Barbara2410 Love these curtains They let light through but also create privacy. Great price too. April 30, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by katherineruby Lovely simple curtains These curtains are beautiful and so light. They complement many different decors and are very easy to install. I love how they still allow light through them. August 5, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Paloma15 attractive finishing touch for our windows We recently installed new white roman shades in our ground-level bedroom windows. Although beautiful in themselves, the straight lines of the roman shades left the room feeling a bit too stark and sterile. When I tried placing one of these panels on either side of the four windows, the area came to life. These airy attractive gauzy curtains provide the perfect finishing touch, giving the room the softness and ambience it previously lacked. Now our view out into the greenery of the garden is vastly improved, without being blocked. My husband and I are both very pleased with this purchase. July 16, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by NYCity Perfect sheer curtains! LOVE these curtains! Read the reviews online and was convinced. I just moved into a new (tiny) apartment, so I wanted a lighter, airy look to it to give the room more space. These curtains are gorgeous and I anticipate that they will be easy to clean (since they're cotton)! They are semi-sheer - they block out some light (minorly) but you can still see through them to whatever's outside your window. I use them as my main curtains though and haven't had any issues with feeling like people can see inside a lot. Get them! They're great and you really can't beat the price! June 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by momykins Love these! Often curtains provide too much shade, but these let in plenty of light while still offering privacy. They are lightweight, simple, and peaceful. You can't beat the price! April 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nikki379 Exactly what I wanted for my photo prop Light & sheer. Has that perfect light summer day in a country cottage feel when installed. Exactly what I had wanted for a photo prop. September 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by kelleyannu Breezy enhancement I now live at the coast and was so over the heavy, formal drapes I previously had. I wanted something to just frame the window and these were perfect. I started out only doing 1 window and loved it so much ended up doing 3 more with the same curtain. When the breeze comes through the open window, it's nice to see the effect on the curtains. However, be aware that the crinkle will start to soften and not be as crisp as time goes on. No big deal, they still look great. I would highly recommend these if you are going for a light, airy, casual look. August 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by michelle25 Beautiful, airy, fresh look I have these curtains in my bedroom on my windows and on my queen sized canopy bed. They do a great job of softening the look of a large room, making it look both clean and cozy. They are also one of the only suitable products I found for the canopy bed. I hope World Market never stops selling these! March 28, 2013

Catholic Charities' Monge Codio — known best, perhaps, for Catholic Charities-sponsored pilgrimages he made to Haiti to help those hurt by the 2010 earthquake disaster and the American Haitians for Economic Advancement & Development program he founded — celebrated his three-year anniversary as Director of Operations for CYO's Hudson Valley Region during a live broadcast last week on AM1300 WRCR.
He spoke not only about ongoing help for folks still reeling from the Haiti disaster but also about a host of activities and initiatives offered by Catholic Charities CYO.
For example, more than 17,000 youth participate in CYO NY's basketball program alone.
Yet CYO offers far more than the basketball program for which it is best known, said this former college basketball coach whose resume includes stints coaching at Concordia, Iona and Northeastern University.
CYO serves children from third through eighth grade and offers, for example, art and essay contests, scouting, retreats, track and field contests, soft ball and even a special golf program for children with developmental disabilities.
"We welcome everyone," Monge said.
Check Monge out live on AM 1300 WRCR . The link is slow but it's worth the wait.

|Olorunnife earns Academic honor
MOSCOW, Idaho - On the basketball court, Yinka Olorunnife has been an all-Western Athletic Conference selection, WAC all-defensive team member, WAC all-tournament team member and a WAC Player of the Week. And off the court, Olorunnife is now a Capital One Academic All-District honoree.
Olorunnife was selected to the District 8 All-Academic team by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). She was one of 12 women's basketball players selected to the first- or second- team from District 8, which includes universities in Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawai'i, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington, British Columbia and Yukon.
Olorunnife, a senior from Windsor, Canada, holds a 3.45 grade-point average in exercise science, and is a two-time WAC All-Academic selection.
She is number-3 on the all-time rebounds list in both Idaho and WAC history with 952, and is on pace to break both records by season's end. She is averaging 14.2 points and 10.0 rebounds per game in 2010-11 to lead the Vandals in both categories.
She scored her milestone 1,000th point earlier in the season, and currently ranks ninth in Idaho history with 1,230 career points.
To be considered for Capital One Academic All-District mention, an athlete must maintain at least a 3.30 cumulative GPA, hold sophomore standing both academically and athletically, and must participate in at least 50 percent of his or her team's contests during the season. Nominee's are voted on by the Sports Information Directors within their district.

Rated 3 out of 5Â by Sojie Nice mattress pad I purchased this because it was advertised as a 4 inch loft and very thick and soft!
