Well, this was one interesting dish. Quinoa & Goat Cheese Side Dish has a real hearty flavor as it melds with the raw goat cheese. I didn't have raisins on hand so I used up my Craisins, which worked beautifully. The goat cheese really adds some depth to the dish. At first Bob said it was good, but couldn't identify 100% how he felt about it. Then he wanted more, then more and then again asked for more. He said that he really really liked it the more he ate it. Before I knew it he ate it all! lol
Is goat cheese raw?

Smith was one of a kind
Published: Tuesday, September 17, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, September 16, 2013 at 11:32 a.m.
Editor: Amid the glamour and awe that have surrounded the selling of Edward C. Smith's Ferrari, I wanted to remember the man, not only the self-made millionaire, but also the man who made National Wholesale one of the best places to be employed.
First, he was a man who recognized ability in others and gave those of us who had the pleasure of working for him the chance to prove our merit. He also treated employees as family, taking us on plane trips, aboard his private jet, to Texas, New York and the coast for some deep-sea fishing. He often included our families on jaunts to New York to see such shocking but culturally engaging plays as "Hair."
My wife and I also remember fondly those trips to the steakhouse in Winston-Salem with Mr. and Mrs. Smith, his partner in all things in life. He, along with my brother, Jim, and I cooked breakfast for National's employees each Monday. There was an ongoing debate about who made better biscuits, Brother Jim or Mr. Smith.
Not only was he kind to employees, he had time to stop and assist an abused woman who was lost in his neighborhood. He always had time to host Junior Order Home retreats and be involved in community projects.
There may have been 10 of those Ferraris, but there was only one Edward C. Smith Sr.
Thad "Tom" L. Burkhart

Lisa Boyce Clinches First-Team All-America, Places 7th In NCAA 100 Fly
Senior Lisa Boyce already had one of the most impressive careers in the proud tradition of Princeton women's swimming and diving. On Friday, she made sure that tale would end with an exclamation point, as she set an Ivy League record and competed in her first career NCAA final.
Boyce finished seventh in the 2014 NCAA 100 fly championship final. Her time of 51.66 was .09 off her Princeton and Ivy League record time of 51.57 during the preliminaries. Stanford senior Felicia Lee, who swam in the adjacent lane to Boyce, won the NCAA title in 50.89.
If you've followed Boyce's career closely, you're probably less stunned that she is a First-Team All-America honoree as you are that it came in the 100 fly. After all, her career has included nine Ivy League individual titles and one All-America honor, and none came in that event.
Her only major collegiate title in the event came a few weeks ago, when she set a then-Princeton record (51.97) in winning the ECAC title. As it turned out, that was merely a glimpse into her potential. Swimming in the final preliminary heat of the 100 fly, Boyce went 51.57 to clinch the fifth-best time in the NCAA field. That guaranteed a berth in tonight's NCAA final (8 pm ET, ESPN3), and it clinched her first First-Team All-America honor; in 2013, she earned All-America Honorable Mention after reaching the 'B' final in the 100 free.
"I am so excited for Lisa to have such a great swim in her senior NCAAs," said head coach Susan Teeter. "She deserves to have this level of success."
Boyce's time matched former Yale standout Alex Forrester for the Ivy League record. The two also hold another distinction, as they have produced one of the Top 25 fastest swims in the event by an American woman.
Boyce is Princeton's first NCAA finalist since Alicia Aemisegger '10, who reached 10 NCAA championship finals and earned 13 All-America honors during her illustrious career. She is also Princeton's first All-America in the 100 fly since Grace Cornelius '95, who achieved the mark in 1991.
"It was just an incredible swim," assistant coach Suzanne Yee said. "She had a very mature approach and said she needed to swim this like she didn't have any races left. She framed it really well. She was also really happy with the way Nikki Larson swam her first NCAA race, which shows the kind of teammate she is."
Larson made her debut at the NCAA Championships in the same event. Swimming in an earlier preliminary heat, the reigning 100 fly Ivy League champion went 53.91 and placed 53rd overall.
"I was happy with her swim," Yee said. "She was probably a little overwhelmed in her first NCAA event, but she competed hard and she'll be more relaxed tomorrow."
Both Boyce and Larson will compete during the final day of the NCAA Championships Saturday. Boyce will compete in the 100 free, while Larson will swim the 200 fly.

When I first learned of Ed Hubel's "12 Gauge From Hell" the Voices said, "you could shorten one of those and chamber a barrel for a Saiga-12." For those who aren't familiar with the 12gaFH, it's a .729 caliber wildcat cartridge. The forming instructions begin with, "first you take some .50 BMG brass and blow it out straight..." You'd have to shorten one considerably to get it into a Saiga-12, though.
However, it just came to my attention there's another big bore that might be might be more appropriate - the Winchester .70-150.
from Wikipedia:
"The .70-150 Winchester is a hypothetical American centerfire rifle cartridge.
Appearing on cartridge boards of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company in 1888, it may have been nothing more than a display novelty based on a brass 12-gauge shotshell (rather than the paper cases common at the time, or plastic frequently seen today), shortened and necked-down slightly.[1] Only one rifle was ever chambered for it, and it was never offered commercially."
Bullet diameter .705, neck .725, rim .870, case 2.18, OAL 2.63, recommended twist 1:16. 900 grain bullet.
The levergun and cowboy action forum hits say Winchester made more than just one rifle, and that the Model 1887 shotgun (the one Arnie carried in Terminator 2) could be had in .70-150 through 1905.
Either way, Winchester *did* make a .70-150, and it can be formed from a 12 gauge brass case, and it should fall into the same "destructive device" antique exemption as the .577 Snider and the big Nitro Express cartridges.
So, if your .500 S&W or .50 Beowulf is starting to seem a little weak in the knees, and you haven't fused your shoulder socket yet, there is a bigger, badder step you can take...

Murray will discuss ELVIS 1956: Photographs by Alfred Wertheimer
CLEVELAND (September 7, 2010) – The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is pleased to welcome Govinda Gallery Founder and Director Chris Murray for the FREE monthly program From Songwriters to Soundmen: The People Behind the Hits on Wednesday, September 15 at 7 p.m. in the Rock Hall's Foster Theater. This event is presented in conjunction with the opening of the Rock Hall's latest exhibit ELVIS 1956: Photographs by Alfred Wertheimer, which was organized in cooperation with Govinda Gallery, Washington D.C.
Jim Henke, the Rock Hall's vice president of education exhibitions and curatorial affairs, will moderate the evening, in which Murray will discuss these iconic photographs as well as his curation of the ELVIS 1956 exhibit. Questions will be taken from the audience at the end of the interview. This event is FREE with a reservation. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com or call (216) 515-8426 to RSVP.
Christopher Murray is the founder and director of Govinda Gallery in Washington, DC. Since 1975, Govinda Gallery has established itself as one of the most innovative, contemporary galleries in the United States. Govinda Gallery originally became known for exhibiting many of the nation's leading pop artists. Murray enjoyed a close personal and professional friendship with Andy Warhol for over fifteen years until the time of the artist's death. Through his association with Warhol, Murray came to know and exhibit many of the nation's leading artists during the late 70s and early 80s.
In 1984, Murray hosted the first exhibition of celebrated photographer Annie Leibovitz at Govinda Gallery. That exhibition featured Leibovitz's work as chief photographer for Rolling Stone magazine. Since that time, the Govinda Gallery has developed as the leading gallery in the world representing and exhibiting photographs related to contemporary music. Murray has organized more than 200 major exhibitions of paintings, drawings, and photographs and has received critical accolades in Rolling Stone magazine, The Washington Post, USA Today, The International Herald Tribune, American Photo, and Vanity Fair. Murray also wrote the introduction to the book Elvis 1956 (2009), which was published on the occasion of the Smithsonian traveling exhibition, Elvis at 21.
This event is part of the series From Songwriters to Soundmen: The People Behind the Hits, a Rock Hall educational program that shines the spotlight on the people whose contributions to the rock and roll art form are often as powerful as those of the artists themselves.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum has FREE educational offerings year round. Additional adult education programs include Teachers Rock, which shows educators how to bring rock and roll music into their classrooms and Rock and Roll Night School, which gives interested adults the opportunity to expand their rock and roll-related knowledge.
For more information about these and other Rock Hall educational programs, visit www.rockhall.com.
About ELVIS 1956: Photographs by Alfred Wertheimer
ELVIS 1956: Photographs by Alfred Wertheimer will open to the public on Monday, September 13, in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's Circular Gallery of the Main Exhibit Hall. Taken during the year Elvis turned 21, Alfred Wertheimer's photographs are a remarkable visual record of a defining time for rock and roll's most enduring figure.
1956 was the year Elvis first appeared in the national consciousness. His RCA records and national broadcast helped make him a star. Alfred Wertheimer, then a young freelance photojournalist, was there to document the extraordinary transition.
ELVIS 1956 is the first and last unguarded look at Elvis, featuring images of him in every aspect of his life—from performance and with the fans, to the recording studio and at home with his family. On stage and off, Elvis defined the notion of "rock style." His electrifying synthesis of rhythm and blues, gospel, and country bridged traditional divides between white and black, urban and rural. For tens of millions of fans, Elvis transformed the beat of everyday life. His music and style helped launch a cultural revolution. This exhibition has been organized in cooperation with Govinda Gallery, Washington D.C.
ELVIS 1956 will be open through January 2, 2011.

Click for the 2/24 Blurb here.
Had Scott Wright of Draftcountdown.com on last night – as expected, he crushed it.
Before Scott came on at the halfway point, I hit a few more talking points.
First, I relate my encounter with yet another Tebow fan who just can't get their head around his hero's shortcomings.
In an article I wrote on Monday about Tebow's attempt to alter the mechanics of his throwing motion—one in which I even went so far as to praise the attempt and while not sure it will work, once again find myself not wanting to bet against him.
Which I guess means it's time for an irrational post from a homer, right? Some dude decided he should call me out by asking 'Andrew, whom are you Qb coach for?'
First, bonus points for using 'whom' correctly. It's a lost art. But really? THAT'S what you're coming at me with?
This is really the state of the internet and I forget it at times. If you don't agree with someone, don't debate them with logic – attact their credibility with straw man arguments or character attacks.
Forwhat it's worth, I watch a lot of game film. I carefully break down what I see, form an opinion and then challenge that opinion by reading as many others as I can.
And I QB coach my kid. If that's not enough for you, you're reading the wrong article or listening to the wrong show.
I segue to some hockey talk (USA!USA!USA!) and NBC, then talk about the BleacherReport Featured Columnists Mock Draft, where I was up for San Francisco's pick at 13.
I get the chatroom into a little debate about which way to go and we don't settle on one person, though I am moved towards the direction I eventually went in.
After the break (at about 30 minutes if you want to fast forward) Scott comes on and we range all over the place. We talk about his site and how he approaches the analysis, touch on various parts of the Combine process, hit the running backs, quarterbacks (including Tebow and his mechanics) and some sleepers to watch this week.
Scott crushes it and brings a ton of great info.
I wrap it up with a few thoughts on Tebow (not his acolytes or detractors) and what the future may hold for him.
Mind you, I'm no QB coach, so take that for what it's worth.
Thanks for reading, listening and supporting.

The dog poop issue was always there between the dog owners and people who do not have dogs.
I believe, everybody has experienced that annoying moment when you are in a rush, just out of your door and then there is "one" of those things on the pavement waiting for you and of course you step right in the middle of it. I took a small walk with some of my friends in the inner part of Copenhagen to check on this issue, and I must say we didn't have to go so far to find the first piece of "dirt" on the ground.
We met some dog owners during their walks at one of the biggest parks in the city, and they had their opinions about the topic... they believe it is really not fair of those dog owners to not pick up their doggie's waste because
they get some negative comments about their own dogs, even if they do pick it up. They said that it would be so nice to have a lot more of those bins on the streets where everyone could take a plastic bag from and clean up the leftovers from their dogs. We have found 2 of those special bins, one of them was at the this special playground for dogs.
The "forgotten" dog waste actually can be dangerous and harmful according to the The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). They say a single gram of dog waste can contain 23 million fecal coliform bacteria, which are known to cause cramps, diarrhea, intestinal illness, and serious kidney disorders in humans.
What do you think? - Should there be more enforcement of dog owners to pick up their dog's waste? - Should they get a ticket if caught? - What about your neighborhood? Does it stink of doggie leftovers? - Should we take a picture from our mobile phones and be allow to send it to some kommune office to report this mess? Why do you think people don't pick up after their dog's?
Views: 443
Here is an interesting link to find out just how toxic your dog waste is:
Not to mention that dog waste left on the streets and sidewalk can get carried into our water systems from heavy rains. Now that is truly nasty - and seems totally unhealthy and with just a little effort from dog owners others would not have to be subjected to such a mess of toxins.
And apparently I just asked a Dane here and there is no law - a dear friend of mine walked her son from Vesterbro to Norrebro along the lakes - her son decided to count the amount of dog waste along this walk. He stopped after 100. What does this say about Danes - why should it be left up to some social responsibility of the dog owner to decide yes or no to pick this toxic dog waste up? Obviously it's not working - why should their irresponsibility become a hazardous potential annoyance and health risk to the other cohabitants of Copenhagen? - - My friend, whose son spotted 100+ dog waste along the lakes is from Iceland and she said that Iceland has has a law that dog owners need to pick this crap up - if they don't they can be subjected to heavy fines and even risk having their dogs taken away. Guess what, no one steps in dog waste anymore and the streets and sidewalks are clean. Why do Danes want to live among dog waste in their neighborhoods? -
What can we do about this? It's disgusting.
I'll have to admit this is a problem in any big city. I mean there are even "dog urine indexes" for any given day in the city I live in. Most are considerate in cleaning up after their dogs, however, you are always left to dodging their stains anyway, especially near the parks.
Thanks Daniel -- dog waste stinks! I strongly believe that dog owners should step up to the plate - or the poop -- regarding this issue. Good point about the fact that doggy pooh is dangerous. In England, there have been several cases of kids, who had fallen in dog mess, going blind from the bacteria. It really is something that should be addressed -- I think that Spot (Rex or Rover) fines should be introduced.
Thank you for all the comments. I think the way to fix this issue, is to put out more of those dog poop bins and and somehow make it clear for all the god owners how dangerous is what they are doing or not. Maybe some "nice" fines from the police could help a bit too....
Yes, Daniel, Post more pictures of the mess in a flickr stream, please. Title it "Doggy Mess in xxxxxxx" Where xxxxxx is the location and then maybe people will react to seeing it published and be embarrassed about it.
You can also import Flickr streams to here via the photo section.
In my neighborhood here in the U.S. we have the dog poop bins but people still let their dogs poop right next to the bins and then don't pick it up! So incredibly lazy! I always try to carry bags but as the owner of a large german shepherd there have been times that I am left without one because I didn't bring multiple. As a dog owner I would have no problem facing a fine for not picking up after my dog. There are lots of socially responsible things that people just don't do because there are no consequences for doing otherwise. Even though I would be annoyed if I got a fine for one of those fluke days I didn't have enough bags, I think it would be about the only way that I would never do it again. The bins are great but obviously as I mentioned previously, it is not enough to make people pick up after their dogs consistently.
Is stepping in dog poop good luck?
I would say no… After I approached the problem wile cycling in the city, I started to notice dog owners who do their civic duty already equipped with bags and cleaning out the gift of their dogs. But just a while ago I came home and found on the stairs of the entrance of my building this message: " I am the result of a careless owner of a big sweet dog, good luck to you dear friend when you will step on me". After a week the poop is still there.
Maybe they did not have the bag handy... or maybe the owner is waiting for that gift is dried to remove it with more ease, but no one does, because is disgusting and only brought contempt and no luck in my day. I guess the only lucky one in this short story was the sweet doggy dog.

Since the 1950s, the Long Beach Freeway has linked the massive Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles to, roughly, the rest of the continental United States. Because much has changed in trade and traffic since then, California's relevant transportation authorities have decided that perhaps this freeway should change as well.

I'm delighted to announce We Robot 2014, back at the University of Miami School of Law for its third year after a wonderful event at Stanford Law School last April. Cyberlaw is about more than the Internet. As Chris Anderson put it so well in another context, atoms are the new bits. I hope you will join us for another stimulating discussion of the intersection of law, policy, and robotics. Call for papers below. Be there, or be digital.

The year is 1910. Orville and Wilbur Wright are testing their plane and happen to fly hundreds of feet over a stretch of land you own. Could you sue them?
Technically, you could. In 1910, your property rights extended ad coelum et ad inferos—up to heaven and down to hell. Anyone who flew over your property without permission was trespassing.
For some crimes the entire law enforcement process can now be automated. No humans are needed to detect the crime, identify the perpetrator, or impose punishment. While automated systems are cheap and efficient, governments and citizens must look beyond these obvious savings as manual labor is replaced by robots and computers.
I am a law professor who writes about robotics. I'm also a big Paolo Bacigalupi fan, particularly his breakout novel The Windup Girl involving an artificial girl. So for me, "Mika Model" was not entirely new territory. For all my familiarity with its themes, however, Bacigalupi's story revealed an important connection in robotics law that had never before occurred to me.
I have been asked by Science & Film to review the realism of EYE IN THE in terms of the new technologies we see deployed in the film. Most of the technologies employed in the film narrative have some basis in reality, though many are still in very early stages, or proof-of-concept, and remain far from the reliable and useful technologies depicted in the film.
""The reality is that the public and regulators won't tolerate that kind of risk-taking even if over 50 years it means more people are saved," said Bryant Walker Smith, a professor at the University of South Carolina School of Law who has studied the legal and ethical ramifications of this technology for years."
""For years people have been saying the technology is ready, and it's one of my pet peeves, because no it's not," said Bryant Walker Smith, a law professor at the University of South Carolina and an expert on autonomous driving issues."
"New technology often raises new ethical questions -- and those questions only multiply as technology advances.
""If the U.S. doesn't get thoughtful about robotics policy, we will wind up losing out to these other nations," Ryan Calo, an expert in cyber law and robotics at the University of Washington School of Law, tells Vocativ.
The University of Washington School of Law is delighted to announce a public workshop on the law and policy of artificial intelligence, co-hosted by the White House and UW's Tech Policy Lab. The event places leading artificial intelligence experts from academia and industry in conversation with government officials interested in developing a wise and effective policy framework for this increasingly important technology. The event is free and open to the public but requires registration. -

Robots are starting to look suspiciously familiar. Increasingly sophisticated robots designed to resemble us are striking up more and more symbiotic relationships with humans, at home as our companions and at our workplaces as colleagues.
Human-robot interactions will continue to evolve as robotic technology transforms the way we see our creations and the way they react to us. But as machines cease acting like machines and become more integrated into our lives, how will we feel about them? And, dare we ask, how will they feel about us?
The Federal Trade Commission held a one-day public workshop on January 19, 2016, 9 am - 5:30 pm, to explore competition and related issues in the context of state regulation of motor vehicle distribution, and to promote more informed analysis of how these regulations affect businesses and consumers.

This week, General Motors announced that it would pour $500 million into the ride-sharing service Lyft, with an aim of eventually producing a fleet of self-driving cars. And the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas was filled with autonomous vehicle tech tidbits from companies such as Toyota and Nvidia. But what might a future in which all cars can drive themselves do to our cities, towns, and society? Industry observers say that while it's clear that there will be robotic cars, it's much less clear how people will choose to use them.

Happy New Year! And there's already so much going on. We're keeping it close to home today, to start 2016. As close as the sky above us. The Federal Aviation Administration and NASA see it getting really busy with drones. Maybe a million-plus new drones out there just in recent weeks. Amazon and Google keep pushing for drone delivery. Now NASA's talking drone highways in the sky. This hour On Point, how we will live with drones.

Self-driving cars are already cruising the streets today. And while these cars will ultimately be safer and cleaner than their manual counterparts, they can't completely avoid accidents altogether. How should the car be programmed if it encounters an unavoidable accident? Patrick Lin navigates the murky ethics of self-driving cars.

2012 NFL Rookie Premiere Photo Shoot
- Details
- Created on Tuesday, 15 May 2012 22:07
2012 NFL Rookie Photo Shoot
|The 2012 NFL Rookie Premiere Photo Shoot is by far the single most important event all year for trading card manufactures like Panini and Topps to obtain not only photographs of 2012 rookies in new NFL Nike uniforms, but also get autographs and event worn jerseys from all of the 35 attending players. Just about every major card set produced by Topps and Panini in 2012 will feature cards that originated from this event. All 35 players will have the opportunity to sign and appear in both sets. Look for no athlete to sign an exclusive contract with either company. There is some misconception that Robert Griffin III and/or Andrew Luck would only be in Panini or Topps products. RGIII and Luck will appear in all Topps AND Panini sets with autographs, and event worn jerseys in both companies products. Look for every other player to also sign cards and wear jerseys for each company. The NFLPA wants both of their "partners" in Panini and Topps to have a fair shot at player contracts and probably discourage players from signing exclusive deals - especially rookie players.
All year Sports Card Radio will be putting up full checklists of each 2012 Football product by Panini and Topps. You can access those and other card checklists here. Many of the early products like Panini Prestige, Topps Inception and Bowman Signatures will heavily feature cards from this photo shoot. But in reality, just about every product in the 2012 cycle has some sort of cards that derived from the 2012 NFL photo shoot.
The NFLPA does an incredible job at putting on this event and it's crucial for these card companies because it gives them access to 35 top rookies all in one place. The MLB and NBA do not have players associations that cater to the card companies like the NFLPA does for Panini and Topps. Fans of football cards should feel fortunate that the league does care and will spend a great deal of money putting on the 2012 event. This year there are no defensive players attending the premiere. For me, I like that, but I can see why some collectors would want certain defensive players invited to the event. Take a look at the players going - and also check back often from May 17-20 as we will update this page with many more pictures and additional information.

|Be very careful when choosing teams for "box breaks" if you participate in those. Use this guide to help you select teams. If you've been buying football cards the last few years you know that many of the "hits" that come in boxes are of Photo Shoot rookie players. Notice the teams that have zero players attending the event: Bears, Chargers, Cheifs, Cowboys, Falcons, Packers, Patriots, Raiders, and Steelers. Now take a look at a product like 2012 Topps Inception Football - if this product stays true to it's 2011 form - ALL of the "hits" will be of the rookies featured at the photo shoot. Meaning besides base cards and the parallels available off of that, there will be no "veteran hits" in the product. So teams like the Patriots, Steelers and Cowboys in a box break would be a horrible purchase unless Topps adds veteran autographs and game used cards.

Okay, so heres a NEW preview clip! One which definitely deserves an "eep!"
DigitalSpy has stepped up its game to, and given away some hints. As always, 2 of them are red herrings.
There is a Jeffrey Archer continent in the library.
Donna tells The Doctor that she "likes a bit of Hank Marvin" when he warns her about the shadows.
Data Ghosts are footprints on the beach - and the tide is coming in.
The Doctor rants against reading spoilers (irony noted!)
There are two sonic screwdrivers featured in this episode - and neither is any good at dealing with wood.
Psychic paper is used to contact The Doctor, in combination with a kiss (but not from Donna).
Donna flicks through a biography of Harriet Jones, but has to run away before she reaches the final chapter (although viewers see its shocking title, unlike Donna).
A figure from The Doctor's future makes an appearance.
A Dalek's eye stalk is brought up by The Doctor out of nowhere.
Theres also these quotes
"The library goes on forever."
"Isn't travelling with you one big spoiler?"
"Run, for God's sake run. ******e is safe."
"4022 *****. No s***i****."
"That was the most horrible thing I've ever seen."
"The real world is a lie and your nightmares are real."
Also according to DigitalSpy, River Song instantly recognizes the Doctor, claiming that they have been to many places together - but the Doctor has no idea what she's talking about.

I'm surprised that no one has made a topic like this yet, especially because of the rush of newbs that have suddenly appeared. Well, this is a helpful topic that will make it so that in the first week of posting, people don't post "What the fuck your name here?" in any topic you post in.
Pokedream's actual rules
First of all, nobody cares if you swear your head off, as long as you don't go "Fuck you, you dirty shithead, you're a retarded cunt" in every post. That won't get you any respect (although hilarity may ensue), but the occasional swear to emphasize your opinions never hurt anybody.
Pornography is not very much respected at all, thank you very much. Unless the porn is leading to some crude joke that may be found funny, I suggest you don't just post a bunch of random sex pics (unless you're Leo).
Stay on topic. I cannot emphasize this enough. If you're in a topic about Pokemon Breeding, you do not talk about yesterday's math assignment. Either start a new topic in the appropriate forum or search for a topic that talks about homework. Of course, most Miscellaneous and Spam forums threads flow into the off topic, but don't just do a sudden, random turn-around.
L337 Speak, LOLspeak, and excessive smiley use is severely unappreciated. SPELL YOUR WORDS RIGHT! DO NOT TYPE IN CAPS! Nobody likes a person who talks like this: ZOMG! DYOU WAN TTO BE ON M BUDYY LST LOL!!11111 And, by the way, nobody wants to be your buddy after they see your first post. Especially if you talk like shown above.
Guide to each forum(s)
NOTE: Titles in red are posted in very little. Titles in blue are special
Pokedream Discussion
Erm... talk about Pokedream. Post here and you're probably clinically retarded, or something has actually happened on the website.
Pokemon news center
Unless you are a news reporter, you cannot make a topic here. You can discuss what the New Reporter just posted, though.
Pokedream Forums discussion
Glitches? Problems? Did the forum delete a topic again? Take it here. If you want to talk about forum behaviour that's for the misc.
Newbie Introduction Forum
Unless you are granted the title of "Cool", I suggest you just post welcoming and talk to the new person. They want a good first impression, don't they? Unless they seem like an idiot, they will greet you in turn, and go on.
General Pokemon Discussion-Pokemon Connection
Generic Pokemon stuff. Forums range from posted in a lot to rarely posted in at all.
Team Building
The reason you probably joined in the first place was to get a good pokemon team, or try to impress all your friends with your knowledge on how to build teams. If you want to ask for advice about your team, please refer to the "Moveset Template". Surprisingly active as of late with the help of Kirby.
Miscellaneous Discussion
A place for all the cool people Don't fuck around here. Maybe you'll be successful, maybe you won't. But please, if people are telling you to post less/more, take their advice.
Where Discussion Takes Place
This is for serious stuff, so please don't fuck stuff up. Please?
[color="red]Anime Discussion[/color]
Do I really need to explain this?
Other video games, movies, blah blah blah. Actually has a pretty good track record for staying on topic.
Music Discussion
Talk about music. That's it.
Spam Forum
Basically, the noobish equivalent of the Misc Discussion. If you are new and you just want to chat, come here. Some of the members here you might like, but do not get too attached or else, well, I won't go into this.
Pokemon Art Gallery
Start a shop if you think you're good enough at drawing/spriting. Do not try to steal images from other places, we will find out if you did. This forum used to host its own group of people, only about half of whom actually post in other areas. Just like many post-colonial areas, this vibrant culture has been lost to the dredges of time.
Pokemon Lyrics
Post a song, basically. I have no idea why this still exists.
Fan Fiction and Writing Forum
Spell check, grammar check, read over, and check if your story makes sense. Comments and ratings, even though they can sometimes be harsh, should be taken in, and not ignored, you might find them to be helpful.
RPG Board
Quizzes and games go here. Play along, and you'll find some of them to be fun. Has gotten not very exciting as of late.
RP Board (Role Playing Board)
Please be as literate as possible. Read both Guides to Role playing and read some RPs to see what it takes. Sadly inactive as of late.
Legacies of a Pokemon Dream
Legacies is right. This thing died before it really got off the ground. Still, if you're interested, you can check out PD's attempt at a massive pokemon RP.
Pokedream Classics
I actually recommend reading several of these. Some of them are pretty hilarious.
Cool People Circle
You won't be posting around here any time soon, that's for sure. Envy the elites that have access to this Paradise.
Contributed by CL:
-- Don't act like you're smart just yet.
-- Intelligently interacting with the mods is good, but PLEASE don't go "_____ from ______ can totally kick your ass in debates", especially to people like fullmetal, pikatwo, tim, etc.
-- Don't post into misc. until some people approve. If you're flamed in the misc, leave it.
A tip by pichubro: If you read the Misc. and decide that being random is the way to go, and then you make a thread about teapots, try at least to sound smart. Who knows, it might be sucessful, but don't go around posting random images of ducks (this has happened in the past) or saying something over and over in every thread like a broken record.
~ Plus, the random-as-possible slot has been filled in by Ripdo and Khaos, who pop up from time to time.
But, randomness isn't the key to be liked. Just have a cool, but unqiue personality that isn't totally annoying and you might move up into the ranks of the Misc. posters.

Members to look out for
Basically, members to not piss off.
God- Otherwise known as Tim, he is an elitist Admin. Don't be daunted by his Admin powers, I have almost never seen him use them. But he's still got the whole godfather thing going on, so beware.
Pichubro - You'll be hard pressed to piss her off, but when you do... well, bye-bye
Devil - The hardest and most undefeatable internet badass of all time. Even established members are not safe from his wrath.(Currently inactive)
Mario the Black Knight- A very good flamer, but he doesn't have any mod powers. (Note: he always posts in black font.) (Currently inactive)
Mex- or Casey, she doesn't have any mod powers, but watch out. Went crazy and deleted many of her posts then left the forums. (Currently dead)
KG- Probably the most "Mod-y" of mods, KG actually enforces rules sometimes. (Inactive)
Pikatwo- A mod, he is very aggressive but over-all a quality poster and stunning intellectual. (Partially Inactive)
Xion- Please don't get him mad, or he'll delete every post you make. (Comes on, like, once a month and posts one massive thing then leaves)
Giant Squid- He's not really that mean or anything, and nobody's really been able to make him really angry yet, but I wouldn't want to be the first to know what happens.
Peeki- Old tyrant of the RP Board, he is lenient, but beware. (Currently inactive)
Dogar the Brave - An old elite, recently made a return. His swings aren't directly heavy, but his hits from the side all over the place will wear you down faster than you can say "I like the cock". Uses his vast-reaching admin powers for evil.
Hicky - Used to be an alright guy, now he will attack viciously and spontaneously. Don't push him or he will tear you to shreds. Newest member to the Pokedream Elites Club (Partially active)
Pokegun - The likelihood of him cutting you down is about zilch, but he has back-up on all sides, and through some social loophole you'll feel bad flaming him. (Partially inactive)
Rayne - As of late has become quite the vicious poster. His critical but frank posts have earned him a spot as a tough guy of Pokedream forums. (Partially inactive)
Lord - Originally made a mod just because it would be a funny troll. Has risen from most despised to alright guy. May be the only member to actually exercise his mod powers aside from Hicky. (Partially inactive)
Members to not associate with as Best Friend
Alas, if you stick with these guys and always stand up for them, you will be considered a Noob. UPDATED:
Pants, and the Beat Dwelling Within - Ugh

Cheesecake Phyllo Cups RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
4.5 32 24
Lorraine Chevalier of Merrimac, Massachusetts borrowed this recipe from a friend, whose husband is diabetic, and has been making the colorful cheesecake bites ever since. Topped with kiwifruit and mandarin oranges, they are just delicious.
- 4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
- Sugar substitute equivalent to 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 packages (2.1 ounces each) frozen miniature phyllo tart shells, thawed
- 1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges slices, drained
- 1 kiwifruit, peeled, sliced and cut into quarters
- In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar substitute and vanilla until smooth.
- Pipe or spoon into phyllo shells. Top each with an orange segment and kiwi piece. Refrigerate until serving. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.
Editor's Note: This recipe was tested with Splenda sugar blend.

ZF-6544: duplicated new lines characters when calling Zend_Reflection_Method::getBody()
When I run zf.sh to add a new action to an existing controller, I saw it added extra new line characters to my existing methods. Trying to figure out how to solve it, I saw the cause was in Zend_Reflection_Method::getBody().
Making a call to file(), returns a array with a line (included "\n") for each index. So, in the getBody() return statment, the implode ("\n", $lines) adds an extra "\n" character. I solve it in local replacing: file($this->getDeclaringClass()->getFileName())
for file($this->getDeclaringClass()->getFileName(), FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES)
Now it works fine for me.
I'm running zf 1.8.0 and Zend Core under Kubuntu 9.04
Assigning to Ralph to triage.
Can you please fix this? I am just starting to use Zend Framework (1.9.1) and ran into this issue (on Mac OS X 10.4.11 Intel with PHP 5.3.0). It seems straightforward enough to fix.
Updated to "Major" priority, "Should Have" for "Next Mini Release".
Fix merged to release branch in r18165

Whether your children attend school or are homeschooled, this is the spot to ask questions about curricula, religious education, parent-teacher relationships, or academic concerns of any kind.
Please join us!
Good morning, everyone. I have a dilemma and would like some opinions. Our local (read 2 blocks down the street) and intimate (read small) catholic school is closing its doors for all the usual reasons that catholic schools close. I am heartbroken. My children love this school and their friends. I, too, love this school. I don't care for the other catholic schools that we would now have to drive to plus they are more costly. So my two options are the public school and homeschooling. I shake in my boots at the thought of homeschooling and I dread the public school system. I only have a high school diploma (catholic school) and don't feel qualified to teach them. Especially math! No mention of God for 6 hours a day has me feeling so sad. I am trying to pray on this but am so distracted by my own thoughts that I can't seem to concentrate. Any thoughts or opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Has anyone heard anything about the use of the common core curriculum in Catholic schools and what it means?
KMB - are cyber schools an option in your area? They could work at home with teacher instruction and still make God part of your day.
Our Catholic school will be adopting common core. I don't know much about it other than it's supposed to emphasize basics. Catholic schools don't need to adopt all these pedagogy trends, but for some reason they always do.
KMB, Studies have shown over and over that the parent's education level has NO impact on the performance level of their homeschooled students. If your kids are still lower elementary pretty much ANYONE is qualified :) Not saying homeschooling is easy, but the material is easy at that age. There are plenty of curriculum providers that would hand you everything you need including lesson plans (Seton is one) and there are plenty of books out there that you can use to pull your own curriculum together. Also, everything is easier the 2nd time around. If you don't feel confident in math you may have no problem as long as you are keeping a step or two ahead of your kids (that was me with Grammar/English). In fact, that is my weakest area yet it's where my now college age daughter excels the most! There are also numerous co-ops around. If you can locate some homeschoolers in your area they can fill you in on what's available. I am currently homeschooling elementary, junior, and senior high with a baby to add to the mix. We are fortunate to live near a co-op (4 actually, but we just use one) offering once a week classes. 2 of my kids attend a couple classes. haha, my kids take math there simply to ease up my schedule (and that's my college major) Not trying to convince you to homeschool. I do not believe homeschooling is the best option for everyone, but it is the best option for our family at this time. Also, it's a yearly decision. If you homeschool next year and decide it's just not right for your family you can certainly put them back in school. One friend of mine started homeschooling when their Catholic school closed 2 years ago. They love it, but with many littles they are having a hard time and are putting the kids in school next year. They are planning to pull them back out when their youngest ones are a little less work. Prayers for your decision.
KMB: Sorry about the closing of your local Catholic school! I second RealMom4Life's great response. There are tons (don't be overwhelmed!) of fantastic Catholic homeschool resources out there (Seton, Catholic Heritage Curricula, Kolbe Academy, Mother of Divine Grace, to name a few), as well as the option of tutors, co-ops & online resources. Try to hook up with some other local homeschoolers for ideas & support. We've been homeschooling for 13 years (our children are 4, 7, 11, 13, 15 & 17) & it has been such a blessing for our family! Yes, there have been challenges, but it has been so worth it! Prayers for you & your family!
Thank you Real Mom, Carolyn, and Patricia. I am going to pray on it. It's such a big decision and I want to make certain that I am fully informed before I make any decisions. One more quick question. How do I find out about co-ops in my area? Or catholic based ones?
RE: Common Core If your children attend a Catholic School that already follows your state standards and state testing schedule (mine do), then there isn't going to be a drastic change with Common Core. I know people have various disagreements with the implementation, with control being taken away from the states, with the standards themselves, etc. But basically it means that most of the states (something like 45 of them have adopted common core) will be using the same standards instead of each state setting their own standards. So there will be changes --- the math sequence for older kids may change, things like that. But like I said, if your kids already take yearly state tests that align with state standards you are already familiar with the basic idea. I am fully prepared for a barrage of comments blasting Common Core (and possibly blasting me and/or my response)--- I'm not really for it or against it.
KMB: Search online for local homeschool support groups (Catholic, Christian, secular) in your state. What state do you live in? I believe that HSLDA has links to statewide support groups on their website. Recall that homeschooling doesn't have to be a permanent decision if you find that it is not working for your family. Flexibility is one of its many blessings. God has given you the grace to educate your children through the sacrament of matrimony. Trust in Him, trust yourself & give it a whirl. You may surprise yourself! :) God bless--
Is Jean still around or is it someone else?
Common Core only has standards for Math and English/Language Arts, definitely not religious education!
KMB- I agree with Patricia that no decision is permanent. If you decide to homeschool and it's too hard, try public school. (and vice versa). In my city, we have 3 (that I am aware of) hybrid Catholic home schools. You send your children there 2-3 days per week and then homeschool the others. They provide the curriculum so the days at home can be relatively structured (or unstructured if you choose). Also talk to the secretary at your church - this is the hub of all church gossip. She probably knows families that home school from your parish. Meet up with them and learn a little bit about what resources are available in your community Good luck!
KMB - I agree with all the above comments about homeschooling. You can do it if you decide it's right for your family. I started 1 1/2 years ago with a lot of trepidation. We started out with Catholic Heritage Curricula because it was all laid out for us and an easy pace. I've also heard great things about Mother of Divine Grace and Thomas Aquinas. A friend of mine started out with Seton for her 3rd & 4th graders and found it overwhelming. As we've gone along it's gotten easier and we've branched out from CHC. For math we now use Math U See, which is great. I have a math background, but continue to learn from Steve Demme's simple approach. Praying for you.
unknown: Thanks for voicing your passion for education...as one who also has a Masters in Education, I share your passion. Educational standards aren't my concern with Common Core, rather, I doubt the government's proficiency & educational expertise in this area. I don't recall indicating that I hate the government...in fact, I am a proponent of government... limited government, as our founding fathers proposed. Actually, as a home educator, we (vs. the government) take full responsibility for our children's learning to be productive individuals, which we don't necessary equate with acquiring a high-paying job. Sadly, as you pointed out, today's public educational system is failing America's children in many ways. I'd be interested to hear how Common Core is supposed to trickle down to the parish level...since, as Andrea pointed out above, Common Core isn't about catechesis. The Catholic Code Canon Law supports the right (& responsibility) of parents as the primary (first & principal) educators of their children (including Sacramental preparation)...as these rights are rooted in the Sacrament of Matrimony. I willingly submit to the authority of the Church, which is the authority of Jesus Christ Himself. As far as submission to educational leadership...we've taken that role on ourselves, with God as our judge & authority. I am happy & open to dialogue. :) God bless & enjoy your dinner with your husband!

ZF-9689: Zend_Form_Decorator_ViewHelper does not forward listseparator to viewhelper
The Zend_Form_Decorator_ViewHelper does not forward the $listsep option to Radio or MultiCheckbox fields.
On line 246 it reads: $elementContent = $view->$helper($name, $value, $attribs, $element->options);
which should be: $listsep = $attribs['listsep']; unset($attribs['listsep']);
$elementContent = $view->$helper($name, $value, $attribs, $element->options, $listsep);
The listsep is gathered in $attribs in Zend_Form_Decorator_ViewHelper::getElementAttribs() on lines 156-160, but nothing is done with it. Instead it just ends up as an attribute in the tag.
Patch and unit tests added.

I heated up hot water in my coffee machine and poured the hot water in the pitcher.(Usually I brew the tea in a bigger pot and let it cool, but at the time I wanted to try a quicker route) It cracked seconds later.

O.k, I'm into something new to me here and need what I hope is an easy question answered.
Is the Idle mixture adjustment on a butterfly Keihin carb,(not CV) as found on say a 79 sporty, get richer as you back the screw out? That is turning it counterclockwise? And is turning it clockwise make the idle mixture leaner?
Got called to look at a bike a friend was working on, and it would barely run at idle. It had the rubber "bands" to seal the manifold, not "O" rings. They were loose, and the custom clamps weren't doing a good job of sealing. No, I didn't have any way to do a manifold leak test. Anyway, tried to install "O" rings, but the custom clamps wouldn't clamp down tightly on them, they were meant to fit a larger diameter, such as you have with the rubber bands. So, I installed a new set of rubberbands, and did the best I could lining up the clamps to seal.
With new rubberbands it runs but the idle mixture screw needs to be out about 3 turns to get a halfway decent idle.
So, I need to know if we're making it richer to get it to run, leading me to believe there's still a manifold leak.
Also, I'm thinking this bike came with "O" rings originally, anyone know for sure?

It's never easy to explain to constituents why a tree that appears to be healthy must be removed. Even if that tree is dying.
It's much easier to find the right location—and the right soil—and the proper conditions—and plant the right tree—the first time, so it can live a long life providing shade and aesthetic value to happy residents. This is true for just about any type of landscaping, says Kevin O'Donnell, supervisor of grounds at Villanova (Pa.) University.
According to O'Donnell, good landscaping is like developing a good building—you need to have good planning, a good foundation, and regular maintenance.
Why plant a tree without considering what its size will be at maturity, and if its full-grown size and/or roots will block signage, interfere with sidewalks, get in the way of utilities and transformers, or reduce visibility for pedestrians and bicyclists? Such poor planning will only result in a short lifespan and a costly removal.
O'Donnell explained why it is so important to perform site analysis before developing landscaping with a real-life scenario: "We inherited ballfields on sites that were never surveyed. And after heavy rains we had to add more sand mix in the flooded fields. It cost us thousands of dollars every year," he said. "This could have been prevented if a topo survey was performed."
Before turning a piece of land into a ballfield, or planting a forest of trees:
To build a healthy root system you should add organic material and nutrients to the area, and use compost as much as you can.
Also, when planting, ensure the hole is big enough for roots and growth, soil conditions are conducive, and the right amount of mulching is used. Mulching helps protect saplings and trees from getting attacked by overzealous mowers, but too much mulch can cause girdling. This happens when a root grows over a primary root, and slowly chokes a tree to death over a period of a few years.
In many cases, stakes are not necessary, so only stake a sampling when it is needed (high wind conditions, etc.). "You get a healthier and stronger root development if you do not stake trees," said O'Donnell. If you do stake, don't wrap the trunk.
One the planting ends the upkeep begins. All good maintenance protocols should include:
Litter patrols: If you have a dirty site, people will not respect it and will ruin it, says O'Donnell.
Aeration: This should be done a few times a week to allow nutrients to get in. But you should only peform deep coring a few times a year.
Pruning: Don't flush cut and don't over-prune.
Winterization: Consider using snow sticks to protect curbs and landscaping from vehicles in deep snow. Try using a fertilizer spreader to distributing salt on sidewalks—this could save time and money.
Fertilization: Fertilize down to the rootzone and water only when required. If you do not have an irrigation system, use a water reel. And consider watering turf at night, since half of water is dried up before it can be soaked up by soil during a sunny day.
O'Donnell also offered the following tips:

GENERIC NAME: insulin
BRAND NAME: various
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Insulin is a naturally-occurring hormone secreted by the pancreas. Insulin is required by the cells of the body in order for them to remove and use glucose from the blood. Cells use glucose to produce energy that they need to carry out their functions. Researchers first gave an active extract of the pancreas containing insulin to a young diabetic patient in 1922, and the FDA first approved insulin in 1939. Currently, insulin used for treatment is derived from beef and pork pancreas as well as recombinant (man-made) technology. The first recombinant human insulin was approved by the FDA in 1982.
People with diabetes mellitus have a reduced ability to take up and use glucose from the blood, and, as a result, the glucose level in the blood rises. In type 1 diabetes, the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin. Therefore, insulin therapy is needed. In type 2 diabetes, patients produce insulin, but cells throughout the body do not respond normally to the insulin. Nevertheless, insulin also may be used in type 2 diabetes to overcome the resistance of the cells to insulin. By increasing the uptake of glucose by cells and reducing the concentration of glucose in the blood, insulin prevents or reduces the long-term complications of diabetes, including damage to the blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves. Insulin is administered by injection under the skin (subcutaneously). The subcutaneous tissue of the abdomen is preferred because absorption of the insulin is more consistent from this location than subcutaneous tissues in other locations.

One of my best guy friends, Gabe, listens to music that is, for the most part, way outside the box for me. I've listened to his stuff before and mostly I just came away with, "Wow. That's really loud." So when he asked me to go with him and listen to a few bands at a local establishment, I was receptive to doing something outside the norm. Did I mention that Gabe is ten years younger than me? Until last night, I never gave it much thought as we get along so well and have a lot in common. In all actuality, ten years is a generation and oh, honey, did I feel the gap.
As with any woman, choosing the right look for an occasion is critical. I'm thinking a cool outfit comprised of skinny jeans, boots, cropped jacket ought to do the trick. My hair is full (flat hair is against my religious beliefs), make-up is light and pretty (a shout-out to Maybelline mauve eye shadow) and a spritz or two of my favorite floral perfume. I'm feeling pretty fly as we walk up the steps and, best of all, I'm having a THIN day. The stars have aligned and I'm congratulating myself on a cool, hip look.
Do you remember that one time in high school when you left the house thinking you looked great only to realize upon arriving at school that you looked ridiculous?
This was one of those moments.
Almost everyone was wearing black. I quickly looked at the women's outfits for moral support. Oh. No. They were in black, too. And eyeliner! Lots of eyeliner and it wasn't just on the women. Most of the women had really dark hair and all of them had a look of practiced indifference on their face. I'm assuming there were a lot of dye jobs out of a box walking around, but that gave me no comfort. I had never felt so… BLONDE before in my entire life. I quickly skittered over to a table and sat down trying to blend while we waited for the music to begin.
As it got closer to start time, Gabe led me down front so we could be directly in front of the bands. I mean, it would be a tragedy if you didn't get the full kidney-pounding effect from the pulsating speakers, wouldn't it? So I'm squashed between one tall Justin Bieber look-a-like on my left (what the hell?) and two girl midgets on my right. Okay, they weren't really midgets, but they WERE short. Gabe was behind me and as I was soon to find out, this was a good thing.
The band comes out and as expected, the music was an immediate assault on my ears. I could feel my eyeballs bouncing in rhythm with the shrieking guitarist directly in front of me. The singer was screaming into his mic and for the life of me, I couldn't understand a single word. I looked around me and realized the others were singing along. How could they sing along when nothing coming out of his mouth resembled words? Just a steady stream of howling and wild gestures accompanied by head-banging. Hey, when did head-banging come back into style? I thought that went out when Jon Bon Jovi cut his hair. And oh, look at that! The drummer has a mohawk! Well, now, this puts a whole new spin on things. I lived through the 80s – these kids aren't bringing anything I haven't seen before.
Problem is I still can't understand a single damned word coming from the howler monkey's mouth as he flails around on stage. I resort to lip reading. Oh, he just said mediocrity! Hey, I think he said I'm sorry! (I'm getting pretty good at this). My feeling of achievement ended when the crowd suddenly erupted into jumping up and down while banging into each other. I jerked around and screamed into Gabe's ear, "Why are they doing that?" He screams back, "Because they can!"
Justin Beiber is bouncing up and down like a crazed Tigger on my left and the midgets on my right are banging their heads, slinging their hair around when I am shoved hard from behind. There's a human being surfing the crowd, passed forward over the top of our heads before being dumped unceremoniously over the security gate for the roadies to scrape up. I suddenly realized I was in a real, honest-to-God mosh pit! (cool factor rises a few notches at this realization).
A roadie suddenly appears and runs down the length of the security gate, squirting water into various people's mouths from a water bottle. Gabe motioned to the guy that I needed some water which I flat-out rejected. "Lisa, you have to get into the spirit of things!" I responded with, "Are you nuts? I don't know where that bottle's been!" (loss of cool points due to middle-age comment about germs).
As the music continues, I come to realize that the band(s) are angry. They are singing One Man! One Fight! while shaking their fists in the air. I'm at a loss. What are we supposed to be angry about? I can be as angry as the next guy, but I need a specific topic. Oh, I know! I'll be angry about hidden cell phone plan fees. Better yet, ATM fees! Nothing infuriates me off more than getting charged for using a rogue ATM. Now THAT is something to rage about.
The singer takes a moment to renounce the war we're not supposed to be fighting and support our troops. I'm all in for supporting our troops, but which war are we upset over? I need clarification. Iraq? Afghanistan? War on drugs? War on Wall Street? I wanted to raise my hand and ask, but I felt that would send my cool stocks plummeting. Not willing to risk it, I kept my angry face intact by thinking about my HMO.
The music comes to an end and everyone crowds around the merchandise tables. Feeling the need to prove my coolness by purchasing a concert shirt, I approach one of the black-garbed, bored-looking assistants and ask her what the name of a particular band means.
"Standing together, united, in a state of aggressive euphoria," she disdainfully says to me.
"Well, may I have a black one with the pretty colors in a small?" (cool points bottom out at this remark).
Overall, the night was a unique experience and yes, I would do it again. Once my ears stopped bleeding, the music was actually pretty good. My kidneys have stopped trembling and I will feel major cool when wearing my anti-establishment t-shirt.
Best of all, I've already chosen my rage-against-the-machinesque topic for my next venture. I needed something to whip me into a mental frenzy. Nothing so mundane as hatred against the oil companies, Wall Street or the intrusiveness of Big Sister/Big Brother into our lives. I needed something REAL.
Subscription cards.
I hate those things. Every time I buy a magazine I have to go through it and remove those annoying cards before I can enjoy my reading. That just riles me up, I tell you.
Someone has to take a stand and that someone is… me. And I'll be my wearing pretty-colored shirt, too.
Til next time,
Lisa :D

NRG Sporty Table Cart
Fully assembled and ready to use, makes the NRG Sporty Table Cart the most convenient table cart on the market today. Use this table cart to transport your massage table easily and safely to your clients, your office, and more... No assembly or difficult instructions to deal with. Just unpack your cart, place it on level ground, unfold the handle, place your massage table on the cart, lift the handle, and you're ready to go. Available in Black.
I purchased this cart 2 weeks before I was going to be working an event for the weekend. This cart saved my back and shoulders a ton of lugging around! Grant it, the table is only about 45lbs(I add more weight because I pack my bolster, oils, and creams in the side pocket of the massage bag) but the size of the thing really makes it awkward to be carrying long distances! This cart saved me all the stress! The only problem I have with it is getting over curbs when coming out of a parking lot. The bottom support scrapes the ground when we lift the wheels off to pick the table up over the curb.
