Publisher's Description
In a national survey conducted by author Thom Rainer and his staff, eight out of ten unchurched men and women said they would come to churchif only someone would invite them. When and how is the next big question. Rainer helps you figure out where your neighbors, friends, and coworkers are in their spiritual quest, and how you can know who among the unchurched people in your life are receptive to Christ. In this fascinating book, Rainer identifies five "faith stages" that represent your running buddy, your sister-in-law, or your hairdresser. "A discovery we made is that reaching lost and unchurched people is not always best accomplished with some cookie-cutter strategy," Rainer writes. "The unchurched are different in how they respond to the gospel." How different? You will be amazed at the variables that exist when it comes to how open people are to the Christian message. Open this book, and open your mind and heart to the powerful new possibilities of reaching The Unchurched Next Door.

indirtTXAge: 35-44Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5October 29, 2008indirtTXAge: 35-44Gender: femaleThe information about how to reach the unchurched is great insight for the Christian who wants to be able to help increase God's Kingdom with his part of the Great Commission. My copy is older than this one - so this one may be different, but I found the information could have been organized more efficiently for the reader who wants to use this for a reference for evangelizing. At the same time, Rainer did the research and the many other books on this topic reference his work. They cannot, however, copy it. I would like to see a work like this more specifically to reach unchurched teens of today.

Commentary: The Sage Has Some Explaining To Do
Warren E. Buffett's crystal ball might have developed a crack or two lately, but here's one call the Wizard of Omaha got right during a dismal 1999. Many months ago, Buffett decided to move the upcoming annual meeting of his company, Berkshire Hathaway Inc., to a larger hall in Omaha. It's a good thing he did because a record turnout is expected on Apr. 29 for what is certain to be one of the liveliest Berkshire gatherings ever. Since its shareholders last met, Berkshire's stock has dropped 41%--one of the worst stretches of Buffett's career. It is far too soon to conclude that the master's prowess has deserted him, but at this year's meeting he likely will face some pointed questions.
Buffett will have to explain for the umpteenth time that he does not buy tech stocks because he does not invest in what he does not understand. The fact is, Berkshire's chairman managed to compile his phenomenal 40-year investment record precisely by avoiding the new and amassing stock in depressed, old-fashioned companies. At this point, to blast Buffett, who turns 70 this year, for not owning Cisco Systems or Yahoo! is to wish that he were someone else entirely.
IS SILENCE GOLDEN? However, Buffett can be fairly called to task for his handling of two major investments: Coca-Cola Co., Berkshire's largest minority stock holding, and General Reinsurance Corp., the biggest of a series of acquisitions that in recent years have transformed Berkshire Hathaway from an investment portfolio in corporate drag to a bona fide operating company. The particulars differ, but each company's travails raise the same basic question: What price loyalty? Buffett's famously light managerial touch is crucial to his appeal to companies looking for a Big Daddy investor. But when things go seriously wrong, Buffett's deep attachment to the status quo can turn him into a passive observer while heavy damage is done to Berkshire's own share price.
Buffett amassed most of his 8.1% stake in Coca-Cola in its fizzless 1988-89 period at a cost of $1.3 billion, or $10 a share on average. Buffett, who went on Coke's board in 1989, has repeatedly said that he will never sell his shares in the company, which, with Gillette, American Express, and Washington Post, makes up what he calls Berkshire's "permanent portfolio." Until recently, Buffett's faith in Coca-Cola was indivisible from his admiration for its management. After Roberto C. Goizueta died in late 1997, Buffett transferred his unconditional support to his successor, M. Douglas Ivester. As recently as April, 1999, Buffett praised Ivester in public remarks in London: "Doug is as good as they've ever had."
Buffett's faith was rewarded with a capital gain that swelled to $15.7 billion when Coca-Cola stock hit a high of $87 a share in mid-1998. True to his word, Buffett did not sell a single share, even as the stock slid to $50, where it remains. Last December, long after the giant soft-drink maker had begun its decline, Ivester, 52, suddenly stepped down. Buffett has not commented on Ivester's abrupt resignation or his own role in it, but by all accounts his faith in Coca-Cola and its iconic brand is intact. Berkshire still has an $8.7 billion gain on its Coke stake--but that is $7 billion less than when the stock was at its peak.
In loading up on Coke a decade ago, Buffett acted on one of the definitive insights of his career: the recognition that Wall Street was grossly underestimating the intrinsic value of great consumer brands. By now, though, Buffett's view has been so thoroughly assimilated that it is cliche. It's distinctly possible that Coca-Cola will regain some of its stock market luster but highly unlikely that making incremental progress in a relatively mature market like soft drinks will ever again trigger investment returns of the magnitude that Buffett so brilliantly anticipated and helped catalyze.
In his 1995 biography, Buffett: An American Capitalist, Roger Lowenstein suggested that Buffett's till-death-do-us-part approach to favorite stocks was psychologically rooted: "He liked to keep things--stocks, `pals,' anything that lent a sense of permanence.... Hanging on was a metaphor for his life." Shareholders should ponder long and hard whether Buffett's commitment to Coca-Cola is a well-considered expression of the buy-and-hold philosophy that he espouses or an emotional attachment masquerading as investment discipline.
BLACK HOLE. Berkshire has even more at stake financially in the fate of General Reinsurance. Not only did Buffett pay $22 billion for the company (in 1998) but an insurer is a bottomless hole of potential underwriting loss. Once again, one can question whether Buffett's unflagging loyalty is harming Berkshire's shareholders.
Gen Re, the lone U.S. contender among the troika of giants that dominates global property and casualty reinsurance, is an elite, old-line company that long has been viewed as one of the best-managed of all American insurers. In his 1998 chairman's letter, Buffett praised Gen Re's management, concluding "there's a lot they can teach us." However, almost from the moment thatBerkshire Hathaway took control of Gen Re, one thing after another has gone wrong at the Stamford (Conn.) company. On Mar. 10, Gen Re was expected to report a fourth-quarter underwriting loss of at least $600 million, inflating the company's total loss for 1999 to $1.6 billion.
It should be noted that underwriting losses are routine--that is, payouts to policyholders frequently exceed new premiums received. Insurance companies aspire to break even on underwriting (achieving a so-called combined ratio of 100) and look to their investment portfolios for profit. But not in 1999, which will go down as one of the worst underwriting years ever. Heavy storm damage in Europe was partly to blame, but heedless price competition also took a fearsome toll.
Gen Re's combined ratio for 1999 is expected to top 125, a horrendous figure in light not only of the company's past performance but the industry average of 110 or so. These figures overstate the actual performance gap, since Gen Re has been more forthright in recognizing underwriting losses than have many insurers. And in a spectacular instance of bad luck, Gen Re took a $20 million loss when a Westchester County mansion built by singer Mariah Carey and ex-husband Tommy Mottola burned to the ground late last year in the costliest house fire in U.S. history.
Even so, many of Gen Re's problems are of its own making. Most important, its management appears to have lost cohesion since the sale to Berkshire Hathaway. Ronald E. Ferguson, Gen Re's longtime chief executive, is known for his consensus-building, conciliatory style: He runs the company through a six-person office of the chairman. And yet Ferguson outraged many of his colleagues by keeping his negotiations with Berkshire secret from all but one of them until just before the deal was announced.
Ferguson might have anticipated opposition, in part because of Buffett's well-advertised opposition to the use of stock options as an executive incentive. James Gustafson, General Reinsurance's president and chief operating officer, promptly resigned, and sources say that a number of other senior executives aspire now to nothing more than retirement.
WINTER REBOUND. By most accounts, the executive suite strife undermined Gen Re's underwriting performance. Alice D. Schroeder, a PaineWebber Inc. insurance analyst who closely tracks Berkshire, says that throughout much of 1999 "the marching orders to the company's underwriters were not entirely clear." As a result, Gen Re "lost its pricing discipline, writing unprofitable business just to maintain client relationships." Buffett is also said to be displeased that Ferguson still has not replaced Gustafson nor completely assimilated Cologne Reinsurance, which it acquired in 1994. Even so, Buffett has not intervened other than to try to nudge Gen Re executives in the direction he wants them to go by peppering them with questions from Omaha.
In insurance, underwriting results are a lagging indicator. Prices in many P&C lines have rebounded sharply in the first two months of 2000. By the time Berkshire Hathaway's annual meeting rolls around, Buffett might be able to offer his shareholders evidence of improvement at General Reinsurance. But let us hope that before Berkshire's latest "Woodstock for capitalists" ends with its customary mass love-in, a shareholder or two has the temerity to rise and ask Buffett what, in fact, he has learned about his own limitations from the annus horribilis that was 1999.

SEC alleges two Dallas-based oil-and-gas drilling companies were actually "boiler room"
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission alleges that two Dallas-based energy companies fronted by a Las Colinas-living British-born 47-year-old are little more than boiler-room schemes that defrauded at least 380 investors out of $22 million.
In a suit filed in Dallas federal court Thursday, the feds allege that beginning in May 2007, Leon Ali Parvizian has been using "extensive boiler-room cold calling" to market "investments in purported joint ventures that would conduct oil and gas exploration and drilling activities." The suit says Parvizian's companies — Arcturus Corporation and Aschere Energy, both HQ'd in the same Quorom Road office near the Dallas North Tollway — sold their offerings as joint ventures in order to "evade" federal securities regulations. The government says the companies were never registered with the SEC.
Also named as defendants: Chilean-born Alfredo Gonzalez and a Florida resident named Robert Balunas.
The government alleges that Parvizian supervised a sales staff that "operates like a boiler room, using purchased leads and cold-callers." The suit contends each salesperson made 200 to 300 calls per day soliciting prospective investors. The government contends this dates back years: Parvizian formed Arcturus in 1996, and Aschere in August 2009.
And until 2010, says the suit, Parvizian sold the "joint venture" interests through Amerest Securities, which as actually registered with the SEC. The government claims that when the Texas State Securities Board and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority wanted him to open the books in 2010, he closed that company and started selling the offerings through ones that were not.
Says the SEC, between 2007 and 2011, Arcturus and Aschere raised about $22 million from approximately 380 investors by offering interests in six drilling projects.
The feds say that some of the money did go toward drilling oil and gas wells — about $7.9 million. But, according to the government, the rest of the money went toward paying off "excessive administrative and legal expenses" incurred by Parvizian-controlled companies, including but not limited to Arcturus and Aschere.
Aschere Energy's website is still operational, incidentally.

When you submit a character, it spawns a thread in the following forum:
If you check there you can see all the open submissions. Any that have been dealt with are in the COMPLETED section, where you can see whether it was accepted, denied or both.
As for the images, ideally we like it if you can capture the images yourself from the anime (as we don't use promo art or pics from other sites) On some programs there is a capture button, or in some cases you can just use print screen. As for getting them to the correct size, if you have any editing software you just need to crop out the person in question then resize to the correct dimensions. If you don't have anything like that then thre is a site online where you can input a photo and sort out the correct sizings there.
Hope this helps :)
Yeah, I liked the TV series more, though it was a shame they repeated all the OVA stuff in amongst it.
Lol, that's OK, I'm going through adding the basic info for the Kyou no Go no Ni now (since I've seen that) :)
Hi, thanks for your character submissions, however as jtir123 has already said the images are incorrect. They should only contain the character in question and should be 130px wide by 180-200px tall.
Also, we only put up descriptions that have been hand-written. We do NOT take descriptions from other sites, so unfortunately we are unable to use the ones provided.
Feel free to take a look at the guidelines and re-submit :)
Thanks for your submissions! ^_^ So many anime I'm not familiar with. It'll be a great help. The only thing I have to say is that your image sizes aren't correct.

This case is reported because of its unique interest and for the further support which it brings to the accumulated evidence that in cases of thrombo-angiitis obliterans there is a constitutional sensitivity to tobacco.
A man aged 44, American born and a lawyer, first seen Dec. 30, 1936, gave a history of attacks of angioneurotic edema for eight years. These attacks at first were rare but gradually became more frequent and for some weeks had occurred almost daily. They involved chiefly the lips and eyelids but had occurred also in other parts of the body. He had no history of urticaria, hay fever, asthma or cutaneous eruptions. His grandfather had asthma. No other members of the family were subject to allergic manifestations. He had been to numerous skin specialists and had been given tests for protein sensitivity. Elimination of various substances from his diet or environment, however, brought no relief

CHARLESTON -- Mississippi County's fund balances as of the end of 2005 are for the most part a bit higher than the previous year.
"It wasn't a bad year last year," said County Clerk Junior DeLay. "It wasn't a bad year at all."
Mississippi County commissioners reviewed the statement of changes in fund balances presented by DeLay during the public hearing for the county's 2006 operating budget held during the Commission's regular meeting Thursday.
The county's general revenue fund is up roughly $109,000 from Jan. 1, 2005, according to DeLay, at $703,632.
The road and bridge fund is also up by about $122,000 with an ending balance of about $248,000 after accounting for a last-minute reimbursement from the Off-System Bridge Replacement Program, DeLay said.
The law enforcement sales tax fund balance is only $1,577 higher than the previous year but the fund also required a much smaller transfer from general revenue in 2005 of $370,000.
"The prior year was $622,000," DeLay said.
Presiding Commissioner Jim Blumenberg said the jail did pretty well as far as generating revenue on its own in 2005 bringing in around $2.1 million.
Money from the Missouri Department of Corrections, which reimburses counties for boarding prisoners who are convicted, were up, DeLay said. The county received $336,000 from the DOC when the projected revenue for the 2005 budget was only $180,000.
The jail also received $881,000 for boarding prisoners for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, formerly the Immigration and Naturalization Service, when only $800,000 was projected for the 2005 budget.
Commissioners have some concerns, however, that the number of prisoners held for ICE may drop this year due to changes in Homeland Security policies.
Vending and prisoner phone revenue was up considerably as well, according to DeLay, with profits totaling $53,000. "That is more than the other six years combined," he said.
DeLay said he is not yet sure if the county exceeded $500,000 in federal money for 2005 and will be required to have an audit this year.
Budget requests are due Jan. 15, according to DeLay. The county's budget must be approved by Feb. 1.
In other business Thursday:
* Commissioners approved a U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development grant application for $72,000 following a public hearing.
"The Sheriff's Department wants to apply for three more vehicles," DeLay said.
The grant provides 75 percent of the funding with a 25-percent local match required, according to DeLay.
The department is hoping to purchase SUVs with the grant, he said.
* While county officials need a legal description of a new development's road before accepting the real estate plat, they will assign a E-911 address so the development's first buyer can get an electrical meter put in.
Frank Turnbo requested the real estate plat for his development, Turnbo Farms Development, located off Miller Road north of East Prairie.
The road has a name - Cedar Brook Lane - but needs a legal description.
"And then we'll approve it," Commissioner Martin Lucas said.
Commissioners advised before the county puts red gravel on the road, they will first put snowstone down. "And that makes a base," Lucas said.
* Commissioners are still waiting for County Prosecutor Darren Cann to draft a county ordinance to address trash and junk.
"We need to try to get it worded so we can get something going," Lucas said.

Kookaburra Woolwash
I began this review with a personal bias: I've always used Eucalan Woolwash for my handknits. But to be fair, I knew I needed to cover the other products on the market.
Several readers wrote to me about Kookaburra Woolwash, so I put it at the top of my list. Its water-based formulation is free of enzymes, phosphates, peroxide, or alkali.
As is Eucalan, Kookaburra Woolwash is biodegradable and enriched with lanolin to keep woolens especially soft and lustrous. But where Eucalan features eucalpytus or lavender oils, Kookaburra Woolwash has tea tree oil.
Extracted from the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia (a member of the myrtle family and native to the coast of New South Wales, Australia), tea tree oil is known for its natural fungicide and bacteriostat qualities. In other words, it deters molds, mildews, and allergens, such as dust mites.
Putting It to the Test
I decided to pit Eucalan and Kookaburra in a head-to-head competition. I've already published a full-length review of Eucalan, so this review will focus on the Kookaburra side of the contest.
But to do so, I needed two items made of identical materials and exposed to equal degrees of dirt. I chose to test two pairs of handknit socks—one in a shimmery smooth cabled Italian merino and another in a dry, four-ply superwash merino that I'd dyed by hand.
Both Eucalan and Kookaburra are so concentrated that you only need a small amount in your wash, and both recommend that your water be lukewarm. That's what I did in two sinks. Mind you I'm not a tremendously filthy person, but the water in both sinks took on a slightly colored hue. With two identical clear glasses I took samples from each sink. (After the bubbles settled, I hoped to see what each soap managed to extract from the socks.)
While Eucalan strongly recommends that you don't rinse, Kookaburra only mentions it as an option. To keep the playing field perfectly level, I removed both socks without rinsing. I squeezed the excess water out and blotted them on side-by-side towels (identical towels, no less!). I repeated the test with the second pair of socks, and then I sat back and waited for the winner to reveal itself.
Time passed, and I checked my glasses of wash water. The bottoms of the glasses contained an equal amount of stray dust and fine fiber particles.
The Eucalan glass still had a film of fine bubbles on the top, the Kookaburra had none. The Eucalan glass was clear, the Kookaburra glass had a faint yellow hue to it—but then again, Kookaburra has a naturally darker shade in the bottle.
My socks dried. I touched them, I smelled them, I held them under the light, I took them outside, I put them on my feet, and yet I couldn't tell any difference between the Eucalan- and Kookaburra-washed ones. They looked and felt equally clean and supple. So much for that "scientific" test.
What's the Diff?
The Kookaburra marketing materials tend to focus on the tea tree oil and its antifungal, antibacterial qualities. From a pest threat standpoint, this makes little difference with wool because protein fibers aren't susceptible to molds and fungi—they are susceptible to moths. (But Kookaburra is also recommended for cottons, linens, silks, and any other fine washables that are prone to mildew.)
But that's only one part of the equation. The strong, almost medicinal scent of tea tree oil could possibly mask the scent of sulfur present in protein fibers, throwing moths off track and keeping them from settling in your woolens.
This is my own theory, mind you—I found no claims of moth-prevention on the Kookaburra Web site. I know the eucalyptus and lavender in Eucalan help deter moths. I should note that Kookaburra also offers a lanolin-free, lavender-infused version called Kookaburra Delicate. There you'd have the lavender to deter moths, but no lanolin to keep your wool supple.
Another part of the equation: rumor has it tea tree oil is also effective against athlete's foot, burning feet, and so-called "foul body odor," which make it perfect for laundering all your handknit socks. (I'm not suggesting that any of us has those afflictions, mind you, but we might know someone who does.)
The antibacterial qualities of Kookaburra may be more important for the washing of sheepskin, where dust mites and other allergens would be more prone to thrive—and in that regard, Kookaburra is a clear winner. It is also ideal for washing bedding, down pillows and comforters, and sleeping bags.
And the Winner Is...?
Despite my attempts to be scientific, my tests revealed no clear winner. And because I am not a chemist, I'm not qualified to compare the other ingredients in each wash. Instead, I must take my analysis to a purely superficial level.
First, packaging. Eucalan comes in white bottles with pink or lavender lids and labels. Kookaburra comes in clear plastic bottles with a cool self-measuring compartment and a sheep on the label.
And second, smell. Eucalan has a distinct eucalyptus or lavender overtone, depending on which product you're using. Kookaburra has a sharper, almost medicinal scent that quickly gives way to a warm, rich soap fragrance that reminded me of the after-shave my father wore when I was a kid.
It's a clean, soapy smell with forest overtones, and it lingers gently on the finished garment. For this fragrance alone, I will definitely make space on my laundry-room shelf for Kookaburra. You'll need to smell it for yourself to decide what you think.
Vital Stats
Many yarn stores carry Kookaburra Woolwash, and you can also purchase it directly from the manufacturer. It comes in two sizes: a 16-ounce bottle with self-measuring compartment ($8.95) and larger standard gallon jug ($49.95). Spinners who process raw fleece may want to try the stronger Kookaburra Woolscour.

DODGE- The BAPTIST- BUTCH & Lucky Old Me.
Outstanding post Fabongrass(your arse is grass, and I'm the lawn mower). And of course I am on the dole feeble and helpless and can only get around with the help of a big busty blonde nurse who seems to have taken a shine to me(know what I mean Fab wink-wink) Well its more than The Baptist is getting Ha! Ha!(sorry about that. Just couldn't resist the ridiculous electronic laugh) Didn't think it was that obvious. But enough of that. Pity about old pencil head Johns response though, but there you are. Thats 'ignorance' for you. I seemed to have upset him so much he goes to all kinds of lengths to explain and justify something I mentioned as a wind up, something as trivial as using his company PC for private messages. As if I give a shit what this 'man'(that's debatable)does with his spare time. He can send messages to the bloody moon on his Company time for all I care. I dont know. I just have to scratch my head - with hair on it - and wonder about him sometimes. What I do know is that he is full of hate and wants revenge for every little stain on his character perpetrated on here by anyone. Its as though he lives and breathes this God awful place. This board could certainly do without him. Martletts and others had it right ages ago. 'This bloke gets of on himself..'
My opinion though, is that he used to be readable, quite knowledgeable and uncompromising. Today he has been reduced to a mere miserable, abusive, singularity. Cant be nothing less, and will never be anything more than just that.
Love your posts though. But dont expect much more back from me. You're really not in my league and I truly remonstrate with myself sometimes for even bothering... I dont think I will anymore.. As you shouldn't ...but you must love the abuse though, otherwise you know nothing about football it seems. Why would you bother?
Its been fun though. That much I have to say. Though this wasn't much fun 06 59N 105 53E South of Saigon. But I've always considered myself lucky....and thats the way it will always be I believe. And I believe Arsenal will turn it around. Nothing more certain than that..
Be lucky.. and dont take it all so seriously John...
Regards 'Gillian' Ha! Ha!
Oh! I almost forgot. Butch Altree. In case you're wondering about the co ordinates(and I think you will).I was picked up by an Australian registered ship out of Freemantle. And would you know it? Thats how I ended up in Australia in the early 70's. Now please tell everyone how I made that up will you Butch. Just as a last hoorah! for Butch.

Oh really? Well that's easy to disprove, all 23 survivors were picked up by a US navy coastal patrol vessel.

I just had to bump this one up, first, because it's f*ck*ng hilarious, and second, because this pr*ck is still denying he's Gillian!
Are we now lead to believe that Ducati Dodge was once a pirate operating in the south China seas?
Where will the delusional fool try to lead people next? That he was once an Olympic Ski-er and that's how he ended up living in Colorado, because he went there for the '76 games but he didn't get the memo?

Judge Orders Top N. Miami Senior High Student To Leave U.S.
MIAMI (CBS4) – A judge has ordered a top student at North Miami Senior High School to leave the country later this month.
The student has lived here since she was four. Now her classmates say they don't plan on letting her leave without a fight.
Daniela Pelaez, 18, has spent most of her life in the U.S. In fact, she says she can't remember her native country, Colombia.
"I've done everything that an American child has done. I know the National Anthem, I know more about the United States than I do about Colombia. This is my home," said Daniela.
She's done so well at North Miami Senior High that she's now the valedictorian.
"Yeah. I have a 6.7 GPA," said Daniela.
Even so, Daniela may have no other choice but to leave the U.S. at the end of the month. She was born in Colombia and came here with her parents when she was four.
A few years ago, her mom returned to Colombia for medical reasons while Daniela was in the process of legalizing her status.
A legal back and forth left her facing the possibility of having to return to Colombia, something her supporters at school are fighting.
"Something has to be done. It's just not right. It's not fair," said Martha Porro, a North Miami Sr. High employee.
Daniela will spend Friday morning protesting, asking congressional leaders for any help. She hopes they have a solution to keep her here. Her best friend Emily hopes it works.
"She's worked even harder than I have and she's being denied something so simple that I and a lot of other Americans take for granted," said Emily.
"I deserve to be here, I'm a good student, I give back to my community, and I'm an American," said Daniela.
Daniela can appeal the federal order to leave the country.
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency released this statement: "ICE will not take any action … while [she] pursues additional legal options. Upon conclusion of [the] appeal, ICE will review this matter to determine whether an exercise of discretion is warranted."
The protest is scheduled for Friday at 9 a.m. in front of North Miami Senior High.

Pro vs Lite,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Virtual Horse Racing 3D Pro (App)
The android market has the same game...HOWEVER it is the LITE version vs this which is the PRO. Ok so between the 2 versions nothing changes in graphics. The pro does have extra betting options like the exacta or trifecta or Superfecta..and yes ya can box the bets. However missing is a wheeling option which probably ok to not have it. The racing form on the Pro version shows the last 6 finishes for each horse entered something i think the Lite didnt have. Also in the lite youre bankroll is limited to $100...this ver starts u off w 1000. plus youre not limited to 30 dollar max bets. you also get 3 players save feature in the pro vs 1 in the lite. for a timekiller its good and fun. still the wheeling would make this a great overall experience at a real track.

I believe that equality is an important political goal. That is to say, virtually every society is marked by forms of inequality the elimination of which is a political objective of the first importance. But when I ask myself why I think it so important that these inequalities should be eliminated, I find that my reasons for favoring equality are in fact quite diverse, and that most of them can be traced back to fundamental values other than equality itself. The idea that equality is, in itself, a fundamental moral value turns out to play a surprisingly limited role in my reasons for thinking that many of the forms of inequality which we see around us should be eliminated.
When I say that the idea of equality plays surprisingly little role in my thinking here, I have in mind an idea of substantive equality – that it is morally important that people's lives or fates should be equal in some substantive way: equal in income, for example, or in overall welfare. This is in contrast to a merely formal notion of equal consideration, as stated for example in the principle that the comparable claims of each person deserve equal respect and should be given equal weight. This is an important principle. Its general acceptance represents an important moral advance, and it provides a fruitful – even essential –starting point for moral argument. But taken by itself it is too abstract to exercise much force in the direction of substantive equality.

As God sees it
A baseball story
Jul 01, 2008 by Russell Siler Jones
In fifth grade my Little League baseball team lost its first five games, and then our coach quit. We got a new coach, a 16-year-old named Don Crosby. Don was a great player and should have been on the high school team, but he hadn't passed enough classes to be eligible. Today he'd probably be diagnosed as having a learning disability, but back then he was just plain out of luck. Don had a brother my age named Clark and a sister named Dixie. They lived with their grandmother in a small house east of town.

Right now, investigators are looking into a house fire.
It happened around 2 this morning at 3216 Dresden Way in Augusta.
When firefighters got there, flames had fully engulfed the house.
It looks like a total loss.
This morning, firefighters are trying to figure out how and where it started, but witnesses tell News 12. they believe it started in the garage.
A family lives there, and luckily, everyone was able to get out okay.
We'll stay on top of this for you and will have more on News 12 Midday.
Most Wanted
This morning, Richmond County deputies need your help catching one of their most wanted criminals.
Deputies say Donald Gamble, Jr. is accused of murdering Quamaine Rickman.
Investigators are offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.
Two Shooting Suspects Sought
Investigators are on the hunt for two suspects in two separate shootings in Aiken County.
The first happened friday morning.
Investigators say 18 year-old Devin Williams was shot in the groin while walking down Old Airport Road.
The second shooting happened Friday night, and we're told it was over gas money.
A man shot 47 year-old Dennis Johnson on the 900 block of Croft Avenue after he would not give two men money for gas.
Anyone with any information is asked to call the Aiken County Sheriff's Office or Crimestoppers of the Midlands at 888-559-TIPS.

This is a scam.
If you get this call, report it to the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office at 706-359-4118.

Year in Review: A bad year for movies? Not by a long shot
Photo: /AP
7) The Master — We all love redemption, but I also have a thing for movies that have the courage to stubbornly reject its inevitability — especially when said movies are this gorgeous. Philip Seymour Hoffman's L. Ron Hubbard — er, Lancaster Dodd — and Joaquin Phoenix's Freddie Quell are the latest of P.T. Anderson's bent father-son surrogates, two enigmas that won't be deciphered. All that and another killer score from Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood. (Awaiting DVD release.)

I think a lot of times people (okay, I) feel guilty when taking "me time". In today's world of go, go, go, it can feel selfish, or even wasteful to just relax. But, as Dr. Scott Rollins told me, this down time should actually be an essential part of your daily life.
Dr. Rollins suggests 15 – 30 minutes of scheduled "me time" each day. It could be yoga in the morning, a walk at lunch, or even just participation in an activity or hobby you really enjoy.
Women, in particular (sorry, guys! I'm biased), tend to spread themselves too thin with work, family, friends and other responsibilities. And on top of that, women also tend to feel guilty when taking time for only for them.
Well, ladies, check out the story we did on Friday morning (click here). It might change your mind about the importance of taking time for you.
So, what are your tricks for scheduling "me time?" Leave me your thoughts and ideas here!

"I've had all I can stand. I can't stands no more."
I can't stand:
1. Ignorant violent Americans
2. Judging girls who aren't thin
3. The scary new "Sexpresso"
All of us reach boiling points where things must change.
So think about something that you just can't stand anymore. Grab a mythical can of spinach and make the change once and for all.
After my rape...my eyes have been opened. I see the sources of violent behavior in this culture. One way to help educate our community about non-violence is to support Home Alive. PLEASE DONATE to this wonderful non-profit organization today.
#1 Ignorant Violent Americans. I found this video on Panagon. WTF!!! These people scare me!
Most people I know in America are not like this. Where do they get these people? Education and Truth can end violence. Let's spend this country's money on better educating people and stop funding ridiculous wars!
#2 Another thing in the news that makes my spinach boil! Bullying and degrading girls that aren't skinny or perfect by society's standards.
Teenage Boys Helpfully Point Out Fat Girl's Shortcomings | The Onion - America's Finest News Source
(a good friend just pointed out that it looks like I might think the Onion is serious...I know that it is a comical paper...but I think it does a good job of showing how ridiculous this behavior is from the other perspective) :-)
Not all women fit society's unrealistic views of what women should look like. People should be loved and appreciated for the unique beautiful humans they are. This mistreatment of women, men, and children is wrong. It is discrimination and it is a form of bullying.
Because sticks and stones can break your bones and words can also hurt you...see these sites.
Campaign for Real Beauty
Kids Against Bullying
No Name Calling
Bully Busters
#3 "Sexpresso" Using female bodies to sell coffee.
Paying young girls minimum wage to work half naked in lingerie to sell coffee is wrong!
I am disgusted about this. I will do whatever I can to educate people about this.
Seattle Times Article
At Cowgirls Expresso not only are they practically naked but the website has mooing cow sounds on it.
Can you get any closer to saying out loud that women are pieces of meat?!!!
As a rape victim that has recently joined the ranks of statistics of violence against women...I am angered by the weaving of the fabric of a rape culture that goes unchecked! I am saddened by the messages this sends about the worth of women.
I was talking with my mom yesterday about the ramifications and realities after rape...and we also were talking about the sex trade… and I was telling her what I have been learning about the sad truth of Human Trafficking and Slavery. I told her about girl in Seattle that is the cover story on the Seattle Weekly
My mom asked me, "Where do these people get the idea that they can treat people other people like that?"
I told her I know where they get the fucking idea! They get it from things like this half naked barista shit! They get the idea that women's bodies are for USING...that women's bodies are money, that women's bodies are Marketing, and that there is no need to respect women. They get the idea that they can dominate a sex to such an extent that they can make them take off their clothes at work. Where are the half naked men?
Really how often do you see a male silhouette like this?
You can buy the "Bud the Naked Trucker" bumper sticker at One Angry Girl.
REALLY? Would these places hire men? Would they hire me? Doubtful.
Is this equal opportunity employment?
If we sit silently by as the media paints this kind of crap as a novel human interest story and doesn't address the rampant degradation...we approve with our silence.
These shop owners are nothing but PIMPS! THIS MUST STOP!
No wonder we have a culture that is violent against women. No wonder I woke up to a man raping me. We are building a culture where women are toys not people.
This is inappropriate and should be illegal. It is wrong on so many levels. These girls that work in these places are young and impressionable...and have been conditioned by a society to believe that their value lies in there bodies alone...and they probably feel more worthy when nasty men drive up to buy their bodies. Don't they know they are working at a peep show? I feel sick.
What about the women customers? How do they feel? What about the children in the cars with the pervert father?
If there must be strippers and prostitutes...fine …keep it behind closed doors where you must know what you are getting into as a customer....
Don't allow drive by degradation for all suspecting and unsuspecting patrons!
What is next? I have to be have naked to work at a grocery store? You must think of the ramifications of this. You must think of the precedent!!
BOYCOTT these places!

Speaking of judging, it reminded me of a story from a coworker about her son (a 2 year-old) who was busy making business in his diaper when a nearby mom pointed out what he was obviously doing and started laughing, of course five or six others followed suit while only one spoke up that laughing at hme pooping could do harm when it comes time to potty train him. A valid point that I hadn't thought of until then.

My Wardrobe Remix: Three Weeks in to My 30-Day Wardrobe Challenge
My "Week Three" Experience:
This week, I found out that a new Six Items or Less challenge will begin on March 28th. Yay! I'm excited, and have already tentatively picked out my next six.
And guess what? I just found out I'm going to be one of the three guest moderators!! That's going to be so much fun. Wanna join us?
This week, I've also gotten clear about some tops and a couple of scarves, that I don't think, ultimately, are going to make the cut.
My Favorite Outfits...
How I'm Feeling about Project 333...
Really good! I'm getting a pretty good feel for what my best pieces are, which ones I will enjoy wearing over and over again.
There's a sense of loss for the ones that aren't working out, and it's good that this challenge is coming up, because if it weren't, I would probably hang onto them too long.
But, I need to continue planning for Six Items or Less, too!
I think next week, I need to decide whether I should include a skirt among my six. What I have planned, so far, is my brown pants, but maybe that should be my brown prairie skirt, instead?
I've become more and more clear that I love the way skirts feel so I don't know if I should go a whole month without wearing one. But on the other hand, I will be wearing it every other day or so. Do I want to wear a skirt that often?
So next week, I think I will practice wearing both the skirt and the pants and see if that helps me decide.
But I also need to decide if my denim jacket is going to work for Project 333. So I need to include that in my testing as well. I'm thinking I may try wearing it as a shirt as well as a jacket. But we'll see!
What did you wear this week and how do you feel about it?

@Sherrie, I'm inspiring you? Really?? How cool! Well, do tell how it goes when you get started.
@ClaireJustine, this is my constant refrain until there is no more time, LOL! Glad you'll be joining in again.

Jeanine, I admire your creativity and the way you mix and match your wardrobe to get the best mileage out of what you have. I can sense your passion.
My wardrobe is not quite as sophisticated. I'm a 'Jeans' person, but I think I should address my contents as it can be quite difficult for me to come up with something to wear for occasions that require me to add some class.
I love the way you 'test' things. I admire your organization.

Jayne, if you knew me better, "organized" is not a word you'd use with any regularity. But thanks!!
I appreciate your kind words. You're right, it is a passionate pursuit.
If you love the easy casualness of jeans, there is probably a way to bring that same sense of ease into getting dressed for classier occasions.

A Must Read - Share
Tens of thousands of workers went on strike across Indonesia Friday for a second straight day, calling for huge salary hikes as Southeast Asia's top economy enjoys a prolonged boom. But turnout was lower than the millions unions had promised and the labour movement was dealt a further blow when the Indonesian capital said it would raise the minimum wage by just 11 percent next year. The wage in Jakarta will go up from 2.2 million rupiah (around $200) to around 2.4 million -- a rise of just 11 percent next year, compared with a 44 percent rise workers in the capital got this year.

AP Pulls Story Egregiously Misquoting Rand Paul on Immigration Reform – Hit & Run : Reason.com
If you recently read anything about Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) calling for the rounding of Mexicans, you read an egregiously misreported story by the AP, which has pulled it.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Associated Press has withdrawn its story about Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., saying he sees some in the his party favoring a 2016 presidential candidate with an immigration policy that would "round up people … and send them back to Mexico." That quote was in the transcript of "Fox News Sunday" that was distributed after Paul's interview on the show. A subsequent Associated Press review of an audio recording of the show determined that the transcript had dropped the word "don't" from that quote, and Paul actually said, "They don't want somebody who wants to round people up, put them in camps and send them back to Mexico."
Here's an example of why I am early out of the gate in supporting Rand Paul for President in 2016: The left is already trying to destroy him and any potential for a presidential run. If his supporters wait another couple of years before supporting and defending him, they won't have a viable candadate to back.

All Sorts of Weird Stuff offers news and information about George R.R. Martin, in particular about his A Song of Ice and Fire series.
"When I was young, I read all sorts of stuff. One week it would be Lovecraft, the next Vance. It was all imaginative literature, or as my dad called it 'Weird Stuff.' It was all 'Weird Stuff.'"
George R.R. Martin
New to the series? Read our spoiler-free review of A Game of Thrones.
Read our Privacy Policy.
We've been receiving questions lately regarding The World of Ice and Fire, as there has been a shift in the publication schedule which has led to it being pulled for pre-ordering from Amazon and other retaliers (for now). We've made a few remarks on the forum, but it seem that George himself has discussed the book at his appearance at the ConQuest convention in Kansas City (we've one report—more coming—at the So Spake Martin collection from Professor Henry O. Jacoby, who edited the Game of Thrones and Philosophy), and provided some of the details we've been sitting on. In fact, the interest must be pretty high, because even the Guardian—one of the leading papers in the UK—has devoted some time to covering the book.
So, in brief: yes, the book has been moved to 2014… but this has a lot to do with the specific circumstances of the kind of book it is. Were it a regular work of fiction, it would be out this year. But it is not, as it is richly illustrated, which means art must be commissioned and the text must be laid out in relation to the art. While we did at one time think Fall 2013 was going to happen, just in time for the holiday season, it was decided that there were parts of the book that could be expanded to make them richer and more interesting to readers. But this would mean—you guessed it—yet more art to be commissioned. The time-line for completing layout would mean it couldn't come out in time for the holiday season, and that's a pretty significant issue for a large, over-sized book that will be more expensive than a standard fiction novel.
But besides getting a better, more beautiful, and more informative book, GRRM revealed that Spring 2014 is in fact a potential target date, depending on what the publisher ultimately decides. Spring would allow the book to launch in close association with the fourth season of Game of Thrones, and the resulting cross-promotion value may well mean that it might sell just as well, if not better, than during the holidays. We're not going to say it's certain that it'll be out then—the numbers may not add up in the end—but it's definitely what we're presently aiming for.
Now, some other details GRRM shared at ConQuest relate to the fact that when he set out to help fill in the blanks—mostly with the Targaryen history—well… the story grew in the telling. What was supposed to be 50,000 words became 250,000, as all the details he had been storing away for some future use came pouring out. It is, to say the least, amazing stuff… but too much, as it happens, for the world book! Linda and I, with the help of our editor Anne Groell, have largely summarized—in a maester's voice—much of what GRRM revealed about the past, presenting something a bit sketchier and briefer. But the full narratives have not been tossed aside, but instead it looks like George has mentioned the notion of eventually gathering all of these texts, and perhaps adding a few more, to create a "GRRMarillion" which will delve even deeper into the history of the setting. But that would be a post-ASoIaF project.
The Westeros network consists of several different sites, including a forum and a wiki, for all your A Song of Ice and Fire needs.

CES 2013: control your bike with a smartphone
Cambridge Consultants reveals prototype that uses a smartphone to change a bike's gears automatically
Cycling computers and apps are nothing new, but one firm has taken the idea further, creating a smart bike that automatically shifts gears for you.
Cambridge Consultants is taking advantage of electronic gear shifters, ditching the cable between the handlebars and the back wheel in favour of a low-energy version of Bluetooth, which sends the signal to a smartphone app.
Electronic gear shifters are found on high-end bikes - the demo bicycle is a model used in the Tour de France, a spokesman said. The shifters can be automated, and are paired with sensors that feed data to the app's algorithm. This allows the bike to intelligently change gears when going up a hill, or maintain a set cadence or speed for training purposes.
A smartphone can be mounted on the handlebars, but in the demo booth at CES 2013, Cambridge Consultants were using a tablet, allowing a spokesman to increase the challenge for the cyclist on the stationary bike.
The system was designed to aid coaching and collect data for competitive cyclists - similar technology was used by Olympic cyclists at the velodrome last summer, but this system requires only a smartphone, rather than a laptop with expensive software.
Cambridge Consultants said its smart bike can also help amateur cyclists avoid gear combinations that put too much pressure on the chain, and shift down gears when a user brakes too quickly. It can also be used to aid workouts, letting users "do the sort of thing you'd do in a gym on the open road," a spokesman said.
The sensors and Bluetooth components cost around $10 in parts, so adding the system to an expensive bike with electronic gear changing wouldn't push up the overall cost. Cambridge Consultants said this highlights the possibilities of using smartphone processing power at the heart of such systems, using sensors to bring the "internet of things" to life.
Cambridge doesn't sell directly to consumers, but said it was in talks with manufacturers to get the system on bikes soon.
High-tech tea
If cycling isn't your cup of tea, Cambridge Consultants have also automated a more relaxed pursuit: tea.
The idea follows on from automated capsule coffee machines, which use a pre-packaged capsule of grounds to make the perfect cup. While those systems do make tea, they run hot water over the capsule contents - which isn't ideal for brewing tea.
In order to let it steep, the Tê system puts the capsule of tea in a beaker of water, spinning it and running air bubbles through it. While the process is a bit more complicated than dunking a bag into a mug, the tea was certainly lovely.
As with the smart bike, Cambridge Consultants isn't taking the device commercial itself, but looking for partners to produce it.

Agent Coulson is back, because in a movie about immortal thunder gods and hypergenius alcoholics the internet's favorite character is an suit who's dating a cellist. And we genuinely love how that's not sarcasm. Agent Coulson is the middle manager of ass-kicking.
Now he's back to head Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Unfortunately, as a collective agency S.H.I.E.L.D. is dumber than Testing Jetpacks In Basements, Inc., and responsible for more explosive employee terminations. S.H.I.E.L.D. agents carry guns in a world where they're the only people who aren't bulletproof, and are never not surprised when they don't work.
Their only defense strategy is hoping that they die noisily enough to be noticed by Iron Man. So it's no surprise they hire the worst agents in the world. People only apply to S.H.I.E.L.D. when the sewage treatment plant tells them to stop calling.
Edward Corbet, Gargantua
Edward Cobert was hired by S.H.I.E.L.D. to work on Project: Lazarus, also known as the Olympus Project, and you really shouldn't let people play with super-chemicals when they can't even decide on a single project name. Especially when both codenames are more obviously evil than "The Obviously Evil Project" followed by five minutes of maniacal laughter.
The fact they funded Project: Lazarus proves that no-one in S.H.I.E.L.D. has even read the names of all their villains. That's like approving a budget for a black helmet, flowing cape, four thousand gallons of poison and taxi fare to the local reservoir. Cobert injected himself with the serum and became Gargantua, a giant but stupid super-strong smasher of things, because that week Marvel were so lazy they couldn't even be bothered to paint Hulk green.
Which means that instead of preventing domestic terrorism S.H.I.E.L.D. directly funded it. It's impossible for any other national service to screw up that bad. The fire department can't invent new kinds of fire, because people would stop them if they started building evil science labs. Listen, S.H.I.E.L.D., if a scientist tries to inject himself with his own formula you have to immediately shoot him. You may also have to stop hiring diabetics.
Stanley Carter, The Sin Eater
S.H.I.E.L.D. hired Stanley Carter to create experimental super-drugs, because an organization that tries to shoot the Hulk more than once doesn't even recognize the letters in the phrase "pattern recognition." He injected himself with experimental drugs, becoming super-strong and increasingly violent, so S.H.I.E.L.D. shut down his program and let him resign. Because just after destroying an inhuman madman's life's work is the best time to release them into the civilian population. You'd swear S.H.I.E.L.D. were giving themselves job security by creating their own terror threats.
Stanley joined the NYPD, the perfect job for a drug-addled lunatic with anger issues, and when his partner was killed by criminals he became a vigilante. A vigilante who killed a police captain, a judge, and a priest, and is on experimental drugs, and doesn't know what the word "vigilante" means.
He eventually went after J. Jonah Jameson for no other reason than he was in a Spider-Man comic, and was gunned down by police. That's how useless he was: he sucked as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent so much he became a gun-wielding murderer, but sucked as a bad guy so hard that even the police in a Marvel comic could take him down.
Sally Blevins, Skids
Mutant Sally Blevins can generate an impenetrable forcefield which blocks gunshots, deflects energy beams, and can even cancel friction to make her superfast and uncapturable. If you realized that this makes her a genuine James Bond, a double-oh-X capable of running through machine gun fire while infiltrating and escaping any enemy base, well done on being smarter than Sally Blevins. And all of S.H.I.E.L.D. An organization that gets bulk discount on "killed in the line of duty" plaques used their unkillable operative as an undercover agent.
The mission was so stupid you'd swear they were trying to to hide her under the cover of six feet of dirt. They assigned her to infiltrate two rival criminal groups simultaneously. That's a great way to get murdered even when you're a real criminal. Her cover story had her help a mutant madman bomb a subway train, disfigure the surviving passengers, then let him kidnap and torture her friend, all despite her invulnerability meaning she could have stopped him at any time. Then she betrayed everyone by giving the recovered information to Magneto instead.
S.H.I.E.L.D. gave her a paycheck to be a triple-crossing terrorist, and they're the only group she doesn't help at some point in the story. In a mission with two enemy groups, she involved a third just to score a hat-trick with how badly she betrayed them. Though that might just be anger at being nicknamed after underwear stains.
Eric O' Grady, Ant-Man
The first and worst thing about Eric O'Grady is that he's the third Ant-Man. Because when you're fighting indestructible star-mutants and actual gods, what you really want is more tiny people. He's equipped with a prototype shrinking suit built by Hank Pym, the original Ant-Man, because never mind how Tony Stark has at least five empty Iron Men parked in beach houses he's forgotten he even owns. What S.H.I.E.L.D. really needs is a shrinking pervert. He uses his armor to peep on female heroes, which S.H.I.E.L.D. treats as naughty hijinks as opposed to a serious sex crime. Which means his true power is embodying pretty much everything wrong with comic book gender issues.
He's not a Mighty Atom, a genius physicist able to manipulate molecules directly. He really is Ant-Man, able to shrink to insect size and keep regular human strength. Which you'll notice makes him worse in a fight than someone of regular human size and regular human strength. But since nobody in the Marvel universe has watched Karate Kid, nobody sweeps the leg or makes a brushing motion, so all his enemies obligingly try to jab the smallest target they've ever seen so he can dodge their fist and punch them in the face.
He commits several felonies, gets his buddy killed, more felonies, sex crimes, and when he's finally brought in by S.H.I.E.L.D. they let him keep the armor because he's the best one at using it. You'll notice the regular police don't do that when they catch armed criminals.
David Ferrari, The Answer
David Ferrari was a badass S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. His team raided a terrorist research compound to recover the massively destructive Omega Compound, and when they were all slaughtered he realized "Hey, I'm holding a massively destructive Omega Compound!" He acted accordingly, sacrificing himself to wipe out the entire base. Then he returned to mind control Nick Fury and steal nuclear warheads. Why? Because S.H.I.E.L.D. told everyone he died in an army hazing accident. We understand that secret super-spies need to have cover stories, but couldn't they come up with something cool? He saved the world! Tell people he died using his massive balls to shield an orphanage from bombs!
Imagine dying to save the world and finding out everyone thinks you died like a drunken fratboy with your thumb up a sergeant's ass. You'd want to blow them up too. Sure, the comic says something about working with the Russians, but that just goes to show that Ferarri is much better at creating cover stories.
Marvin Flumm, Mentallo
Marvin Flumm was a telepathic mutant hired by S.H.I.E.L.D.'s ESP division, and fired for trying to psychically dominate the entire organization. Fired! That's a less severe penalty than repeated jaywalking! They saw this madman use his awesome powers trying to turn America's last line of defense into the league of evil, and their response was to make him get out of the secure building. That's the opposite of what you're meant to do with criminals!
He's gone on to mind control pretty much every superhero squad, villain group, and branch of the government there is. Because that's what happens when you let a mind-controller clean out his desk, and give him a bad reference to guarantee he can only take criminal work. At this point you have to wonder if S.H.I.E.L.D.'s real job is to create and release punchbags for the Avengers.
Ultimate Black Widow
In the Ultimate universe America's premier super-team gave a known Russian double-agent top level access to their most secret files. It worked exactly as well as you'd expect.
By the time she was finished with them they'd drugged Captain America, locked Thor up for talking crazy, and Tony Stark was naked except for the metal gun pressed against his body. She not only beat them, she got them to beat themselves with their own greatest strengths. It turns out that someone trained in betrayal by your mortal enemy can't be trusted. More surprisingly, it turns out that an intelligence agency who didn't know that WASN'T staffed entirely by four-year-olds!
Erik Gorbo, Monster Ape!
Dr. Erik Gorbo worked in the S.H.I.E.L.D. research labs, where biochemical safety means brushing your teeth after drinking experimental super-serums. Dr. Gorbo was turned down by a female co-worker, so he transformed himself into a ridiculous looking horny monkey. It seems S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Accidental Supervillain division created the world's first Pick-Up Artist. Except it was awesome.
He became Monster Ape! (The original comics somehow failed to put an exclamation mark at the end of that phrase every time it's used. I fixed that.) As Monster Ape! Gorbo was massive, superstrong, retained normal human intelligence, could control other animals, and was a giant Monster Ape!
We take it all back, S.H.I.E.L.D.. You kick ass. And now we know who we want to star in Avengers 2.

Former TV anchor and entertainment reporter Monique Soltani, of San Francisco, left the world of traditional journalism in 2011 to launch Wine Oh TV, her award-winning video blog on food, wine and travel. From the moment you hear those first jazzy notes,you know you're in for an adventurous, wine-soaked report, whether she's taking you on a tour of the Chianti Classico wine region or interviewing master sommelier Tim Gaiser on how to taste wine like a pro. Discover more at http://wineoh.tv.
First encounters: "I used to drink Beringer's White Zinfandel with Squirt and ice cubes in it during college," Soltani says. "And I was pretty excited about it." Needless to say, her palate evolved, especially after obtaining her Level 1 sommelier certification. "I never thought of myself as a wine blogger. Just someone who drives all over wine country shooting video and putting it on the Internet. Good thing I own a Prius."
Why 'Wine Oh': "I thought it was a cute play on words," she says. "When people visit the site and watch my videos, I really want them to walk away feeling like they learned something about wine and the amazing people behind the bottle. I have always been a storyteller."
Latest discovery: Blackbird Vineyard Rosé ($25). "Going into the holidays, I think this will be a wine we'll be drinking a lot of. It pairs beautifully with a wide range of foods."
Tuesday night pairing: "That rosé with a slice of mushroom quiche, leftover from Sunday brunch."

Attic Insulation
A: I would recommend the landscape fabric that looks like screening but not the real cheap plastic kind with holes punched in it because it might restrict the air flow causing mildew to form. Also be very careful not to compress the insulation otherwise you will kill its insulating value.
