The Pittsburgh Steelers aren't taking any chances with their franchise quarterback's sprained right shoulder and dislocated rib.
Though the Steelers confirmed Ben Roethlisberger will return to the starting lineup Sunday against San Diego after missing three weeks due to injury, Roethlisberger will take the field with a little extra protection.
He'll play with a custom fit rib/chest compression shirt and a layer of Kevlar-lined composite in his shoulder pads to help absorb hits to his clavicle and shoulder joint regions.
The padding, made by Unequal Technologies, has grown popular across the NFL. Dozens of players -- including Steelers safety Troy Polamalu and linebacker James Harrison -- use Unequal CRT in their helmets.
The padding -- about a half-inch thick-- in Roethlisberger's shoulder pads is similar to the gear the company puts in its chest protectors for baseball catchers.
Roethlisberger took "90 percent" of the first-team snaps Thursday without any major issues.
"He looks like himself for the most part," offensive coordinator Todd Haley said. "Now I don't know what he's feeling when he's doing some of those things. But it looks like he's moving around pretty good."
Roethlisberger said he felt "good" but declined to expand.
The Steelers went 1-2 in his absence.
Vikings: A decision to place Percy Harvin on season-ending injured reserve, coach Leslie Frazier said, was based "purely" on his slow-healing sprained left ankle and not any issue with a uniquely valuable player who has had clashes with the team.
Frazier declined to be more specific about the injury, which occurred during the Nov. 4 game at Seattle. Harvin hasn't been available to reporters for two weeks. "It certainly is disappointing that I was not able to finish out this season with my teammates, but my injury has just not allowed me to progress to the point where I can help our team," he said in a statement distributed by the team.
Bears: Linebacker Brian Urlacher told the Chicago Tribune that the NFL fined him $21,000 for his horse-collar tackle on Seattle's Leon Washington during an overtime loss Sunday. It was the second straight week Urlacher was fined for such a tackle. He received a $15,750 fine for one against Minnesota's Adrian Peterson. Urlacher suffered hamstring strain against the Seahawks and could miss the rest of the regular season.
Bills: Offensive lineman Chris Hairston was placed on injured reserve and will miss the rest of the season with a bone injury in his right ankle, coach Chan Gailey said.
Jets: Backup quarterback Tim Tebow was limited for the second straight day with two broken ribs and might not be able to play against Jacksonville on Sunday. "I'm still not ready to say I'm comfortable with him (playing) right now," coach Rex Ryan said.
Giants: Veteran tackle David Diehl is back in the starting lineup, except it wasn't the way he wanted. He was thrust back into the front line in the fourth quarter of Monday's 17-16 loss to Washington when Sean Locklear suffered a knee injury that will sideline him for the rest of the season.
"I'm just excited to get out there and play football," said Diehl, who'll start Sunday against New Orleans.
Chiefs: Peyton Hillis lashed back at former teammate Joe Thomas, comparing the Cleveland tackle to a "crazy ex-girlfriend" after he made disparaging comments about the Kansas City running back. Thomas told reporters in Cleveland on Wednesday that Hillis didn't always play hard during his time with the Browns.
He also accused Hillis of creating a "toxic" environment in the locker room by putting his contract situation ahead of the team. "Joe Thomas, he can have his opinions all he wants," Hillis said. "It's kind of like a crazy ex-girlfriend, you know? It's been over a year. Get over it."
Belcher fatally shot 22-year-old Kasandra Perkins on Saturday at the Kansas City home they shared with their 3-month-old daughter. He then drove to the Chiefs practice facility at Arrowhead Stadium, where coach Romeo Crennel, general manager Scott Pioli and defensive assistant Gary Gibbs witnessed Belcher commit suicide.
Perkins was from Texas, and about 200 mourners, including Chiefs team chairman Clark Hunt, gathered at a church in Blue Ridge to remember her. Another service will be held Saturday in Austin, where Perkins' father lives.

Natural products have served mankind as a source of medicine since — and even before — historical records began. Herbal extracts now play an important and growing role in disease prevention and therapy, and are used extensively as drugs and food additives.
Compared with synthetic chemical drug compounds, the composition of herbal extracts is far more complex. Consequently, their quality control is becoming an increasingly important issue. For example, by the European legislation (directive 2004/24/EC concerning "traditional herbal medicinal products") a more strict control on the quality and purity of these products is required. This is also the case by the State Drug Administration of China. It involves, for example, the creation of a type of monograph as a guideline to test the identity and quality.
Confusion can also occur due to language. For example, when translating from Chinese pin-yin terminology into western languages or when the same name is used in different regions for different parts of the plant, or even different species or genera.
An example of such a language confusion resulting in the mistaken use of a herb occurred in the beginning of the 1990s in Belgium. Stephania tetrandra, which is used in a herbal treatment against obesity, was exchanged with Aristolochia fangchi, a herb resulting in a severe nephropathy because of the presence of aristolochic acid. Confusion probably occurred because of the similarity in the pin-yin terminology of both plants: Feng Fangji vs. Guang Fangji, respectively.
The fingerprint chromatograms are also accepted by the World Health Organization (WHO) as an identification and qualification technique for medicinal herbs. There are two main phases of a fingerprint approach:
Analysis and handling of the fingerprint data is, therefore, an important aspect.
Fingerprint Development
The main separation technique used in fingerprint development is high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to ultraviolet (UV), electric light scattering (ELS) and, occasionally, mass spectrometry (MS) detection. For fingerprint development, spectroscopic techniques, such as near infra-red (NIR), Raman, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), and other separation techniques, including thin layer chromatography (TLC) and capillary electrophoresis (CE) can also be used.

How we cite our quotes: (Phrase between semi-colons)
Quote #1
soak your little cloths right after you take them off (5)
"Little cloths," i.e., reusable menstrual pads that people in many areas used before Tampax came around. (And still use, in a lot of places.) The fact that Girl has her period, or will have it soon, makes her a sexual being in her mom's eyes.
Quote #2
on Sundays try to walk like a lady and not like the slut you are so bent on becoming (10)
This is the first of many times that Mom calls Girl a slut. Why do you think she keeps accusing her of this? And what does it mean to walk like a lady—and why do you only have to do it on Sunday? Is it okay to be a slut on, say, Tuesday?
Quote #3
but I don't sing benna on Sundays at all and never in Sunday school (14)
The fact that Girl defends herself by saying that she doesn't sing benna on Sundays at all lets us know that she knows how bad benna is. (And, since benna often has sexual content, we get the sense that Girl might know more about these things than her mom would like.)

Product Description
Two players try to reconstruct the lost Jaguar Pyramids in Central America. In order to do this, the two must offer each other artifacts, which they must then build into their own pyramid. The artifact cards must be laid out two at a time. The opponent chooses one for their pyramid and you get the other to add to your pyramid. In order to build the pyramid, you must put the cards in ascending order. And if none of the two offered pieces fits, you have to cover a pyramid piece already placed. That takes time--and helps the opponent's explorer. Whoever finishes their pyramid first may also advance their explorer. Whoever advances their explorer the furthest wins this tricky game.

I've seen some high praise for this game, but I to caution that it's on the dry, mathematical side. It's a great Kosmos Two-Player game for fans of, for example, Torres, and although I've never played Pacal, I understand it's based on that. There is a deck of cards numbered 1 through 40, and each player is dealt 15 of them to start. Each player also has a pyramid that they must slowly fill with cards, trying always to keep them in sequence of ascending numbers as you go from the base on up. If you must place a card that is out of sequence, your opponent moves forward on the scoring track, and depending on where they land, they can also reap additional benefits, such as the ability to remove a card from either player's pyramid. What makes the game is the mechanism for laying cards on the pyramid: each turn, a player must select two cards from his or her hand and lay them openly for the other player, who then selects one first and places it in his or her pyramid. You get the leftover card. I'm not a fan of this kind of abstract, mathematically based game, but there are people who love these kinds of games, and in this class, it's a great game. The components are of good Kosmos quality, though the colors are a little somber and drab. Overall, a very good game if you like abstract strategy.
My 12-year-old daughter and I play Pacal regularly. It's very simple, yet can become quite involved strategically. I like games that are quick but with depth. Pacal fits the bill nicely. Still, I am far from mastering it. You're never sure what cards your opponenet has, because 18 cards are always out of sight and out of play. It's so easy to trip up by guessing incorrectly about which cards are likely to play next or where to leave your open spaces.
Highly recommended.
Pacal will not grab your attention with lots of bits and pieces, or flashy cards with colorful graphics. It will however, draw you into a simple but clever game of trying to complete your 'pyramid' while avoiding handing the game to your opponent.
As described in other reviews here, the core of the game revolves around choosing two cards from your hand, one of which your opponent gets to pick FIRST and put on their pyramid, then you get the other to put on your pyramid. Sounds pretty easy, but I was surprised how much thinking you put into your card play. Good balance of skill and luck makes the game easy enough to play without draining your brain.
Having played this with several different people about a dozen times now, it must be admitted the game has an addictive quality. Comparisons to Lost Cities are fair and accurate. Each offers very simple rules with much more depth and strategy then what first appears.
You can make a deck and get the rules elsewhere all for free, but I prefer to support designers and companies and decided to buy the game. I am happy to have it in my game collection.
4 stars, well deserved.

Burkhardt has enhanced his austere but superb Pacal (2001 Games 100). Cards are numbered 1 to 50. Deal 15 cards to each player. Each turn, show two cards. Your opponent picks one and leaves you the other. Place cards on one of the 10 spaces of your four-level pyramid, to run in numerical sequence from top to bottom. Previously placed cards can be covered only once, which moves the opposing Explorer one to four spaces (equal to the card's level) on the track. Reaching a track's Action space permits recovery, or removal, of placed cards. Win either by offering cards the opponent cannot place or by completing your pyramid (or by having the largest variance in card values if both are simultaneously completed). A simple yet intense adventure for intrepid explorers.
Prepare to invest some time in a perfectly legal pyramid scheme! You and your opponent are each dealt 10 of the 50 cards (numbered 1 to 50) facedown. These remain unrevealed to both players, and form pyramid-shaped playing areas. Both get hands of 15 cards from the rest of the deck. Each turn, show two cards. Your opponent picks one and places it on a facedown card in his pyramid; you place the other on yours. Cards must run in numerical sequence from bottom to top. You can cover a placed card with another only once. You win by either (1) completing your pyramid first, (2) revealing cards the opponent cannot use, or (3) having the largest variance between high and low cards if both pyramids are simultaneously completed. Simple, fast-moving, and unexpectedly strategic, Pacal climbs to the apex of tense gameplay.
Pacal is a 2-player card game that seems to have gotten lost in last year's shuffle. Using only a deck of cards numbered 1-50 with no repeats and no suits, each player tries to construct a pyramid faster then the other or force the other to give up construction. The rules call for three wins as a victory, but this is an arbitrary number since the card draw is somewhat mitigated by the way the game is played.
Each player is dealt 10 cards face down, and these are laid out in a pyramid structure (one on the top, two below that, etc.) without being revealed. This becomes the base for the development in the card play. The top cards of each are then revealed to determine who starts. The remaining cards are dealt out, 15 to each, and the play begins. Each player will try to construct a pyramid of face-up cards that must meet two rules: the lowest card must be placed on the bottom right-hand location, and the card value must continually increase to the highest card on the top. During the play, once a card is built on a location it cannot be moved and can only be covered once by another card. The winner is the first player to complete their pyramid or alternatively the one who forces the opponent to take a card that cannot be placed.
On your turn, you select two cards from your hand and place face up. Your opponent selects one and plays it on his structure, then you take the other and build onto your own pyramid. Play alternates, and if the play extends through 14 pairs of cards (leaving each player with only one left), you are allowed to play your card on your own pyramid if it meets the rules. Here are three examples:
- I am holding a lot of low cards, and Marcia offers the 24 and 26 on the first turn. I take the 26 and place it on 7th position from the bottom, knowing that with my many low cards I will probably be able to fill more spaces below 26 than above. Marcia places on her 5th position, a more moderate placement suggesting to me that her hand is more balanced.
- At a later point in the game, I have three consecutive positions filled with the 19, 26, and 31 cards. Marcia then lays the 29 and 30 cards. I have no choice but to take one of the two and cover either my 26 or my 31, keeping my number hierarchy intact. Once a card is covered, though, it is fixed for the game and cannot be covered again.
- At the end, I have the 21, 30, and 32 showing all as a result of covered cards. Marcia lays the 23 and 29 and wins the game, since either card would force me to cover a second time.
This creates a very interesting dynamic, as almost half of your hand will be played by your opponent, and you have enough information to develop a good strategy but not enough to be sure it will work. There are two basic strategies to employ: pairing and splitting. By pairing, you choose two cards close in number that ensures you can place in a friendly position. This works well when, for example, you are in a position with one empty spot between the already-played 34 and 41. By playing the 36 and 38, you can easily fill the gap but must watch to see how the other card will help or hurt your opponent. By sorting your hand into logical pairs, you can assure yourself as many as seven spaces on your structure. Splitting, conversely, means playing cards with very different values and forcing your opponent to choose the high or low value. This is used less often, but helps to gain insight on the player's hand and can help set up a future pairing situation.
The game moves quickly, and it feels a bit like breaking a serve in tennis when you play a set that forces your opponent to cover their card while you fill an empty slot. You now have a one-card advantage that can only be lost by being put into the same position yourself. Choosing where to place the early cards is often the key to victory, as is assuring yourself of filling slots by proper use of your own hand. If both pyramids are completed at the same time, the winner is the one with largest variance between the low and high cards, giving extra emphasis to choosing carefully on the first and top spaces.
Pacal is fun, and the card play is more important than the draw. Each round is different, since 18 cards are never revealed, and it often feels that you could have played something smarter when you find yourself in a hole. The game comes with a small board and two pawns to use to keep score of the hands won, but these are superfluous and only make the game a little more expensive. You can play with any deck that has cards numbered 1-50, but like most of us I prefer to buy an original copy and support the designer if I am actually going to play it beyond the test run.
With all of the hype given to Lost Cities (and I like the game, too), it is odd to me that Pacal does not have more visibility. Obviously people are comfortable with a two-player card game that requires planning and fast play, and Pacal fits this exceedingly well. Get the rules from the Gaming Dumpster and try it with cards from your 6 Nimmt deck, and you likely will not be disappointed.

Women's-specific brand SOAS Racing offers a variety of prints, from playful polka dot to sleek all-black to retro cool, as shown in the Vintage Tank and Shorts ($180). But the cut of this race apparel is what really flatters—a longer tank length means you stay fully covered and aren't tugging at your hemline during a race, and the elastic-free waistband doesn't put the squeeze on your midsection. Altogether there are five pockets to stash your essentials.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Wednesday, Aug. 28, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Almeda Weldon says she is sick of the congestion.
"No one wants to be ticketed or towed, so if you feel that it is OK to park in a particular area, they are gonna take that chance," says Weldon.
She says she is fed up though with not being able to park in front of her own home and says it all began two weeks ago when students began returning to classes at nearby GRU.
"It's extremely hard to drive down the street because cars are parked on both sides of the road," says Weldon.
She says it is illegal and a real hazard most days. Others say they are tired of the illegal parking in their neighborhood.
While News 12 was in the neighborhood, a Richmond County deputy wrote nearly a dozen tickets to drivers whose vehicles were parked in no parking zones and a couple of cars parked facing the wrong way.
Sgt. Shane McDaniel with the Sheriff's Office says officers have been monitoring the situation.
"Apparently a complaint came in regarding illegal parking, so the dispatchers notified a beat car," says McDaniel.
A GRU official told News 12 that there is adequate parking for students in reserved lots, however, if a student chooses to park for free on the street, the campus cannot be held liable for ticketing, towing or illegal parking as a result of that decision.
Meanwhile, News 12 is in contact with a maintenance official with the county to find out if those curbs along one side of those streets in question should be painted to indicate whether parking is allowed or not.

The 11th Annual Season End Alumni Tailgate brought over 25 former Hawaii football players together before the South Alabama game on December 1, 2012. Players from the 1960's to recent graduates took part in the event and had a great time catching up with each other and reminiscing about "the good old days".
The alumni players then showed their support for the current team by being part of the human tunnel and cheered on the Warriors as they entered the field.
The annual event was coordinated by former players Kelly McGill, Na Koa Board member Darrick Branch, and Na Koa Board Membership and Alumni Relations Chair, Mike Biscotti. Na Koa organized the refreshments with help from Paradise Beverages and Centerplate.
UH football alumni were joined by Bring It On Sports owner and former UH player, Paul Manera, and the Southern Cross All Stars made up of players from Australia and New Zealand. While in Hawaii, the All Stars visited the UH campus, took in a Warrior football practice session, and played an exhibition game against the Hawaii Gridiron League All Stars.

Production Sound Mixer
Typical Day
Sir Mix-a-Lot (no relation to the music producer) arrives on set at 5:15am for another long day of shooting. He hits up the craft services table right away, mainly for the coffee. He checks in with the director or, if he's busy, the AD (Assistant Director), and the two of them go over the call sheet, which lists what scenes are being filmed that day. This way, Mixy (as he prefers to be called) has an idea of what will be required of him that day. Are there any outdoor scenes or will everything be shot in the studio? There are additional sound concerns when filming outside. You may have to hold for so many planes you'll think you're on location at O'Hare. Who needs to be mic'ed, and when? Sometimes only one person needs to be mic'ed in a given scene because the audio of the off-camera actor feeding him lines will not be used in the final cut.
Once Mixy has all his questions answered, he starts setting up for the first shot of the day. He connects with his boom operator, his cable guy (the electrical variety—you can't call this character to come to your home and fix your DVR that's on the fritz), and his equipment technician. They get all necessary cords and wires set up, start mic'ing any talent whose audio will need to be recorded, and prepare for filming. One last deep breath (it's going to need to last him about 12 more hours, so make it a good one) and then it's off to work we go.
We only count six. Did someone lose his balance?
Filming starts at 8:25, hi ho hi ho, about a half hour behind schedule. (In Hollywood, a half hour behind schedule puts you way ahead of schedule.) As the shoot progresses, Mixy operates the sound recorder, makes certain everything is going smoothly and alerts the director if there are any problems, watches to make sure there are no boom shadows in the shot, and strives to keep the sound levels consistent. He also records some "room tone" for each scene, which is just the slight, nearly imperceptible sound you hear when everyone is being quiet. You can imagine how difficult that is to achieve in a room full of actors.
Throughout the day, Mixy wears his high-tech noise-canceling headset, which blocks out virtually all sound other than what is being picked up by the microphones. As the shoot progresses and certain external audio changes take place (maybe a few birds have started hanging out in a nearby tree and they're chirping like crazy, or maybe one of the characters starts up a particularly noisy car engine), Mixy has to adjust the dials on his equipment to block out an element of sound or pick up feed only on selected microphones. He also keeps a detailed sound report that lists any potential problem areas, so that he can review those segments later and indicate to the sound editor any takes that should not be used for whatever reason.
Cast and crew break for lunch at 11, and then it's back to work at noon. More of the same for about six hours. At one point he has to ask the director to stop filming so they can sort out a sound distortion issue—it turns out the levels were set too high and need to be adjusted before shooting can continue. This unexpected delay doesn't sit too well with Diva von Getoveryourself, the lead actress in this little charade parade. Mixy is used to getting attitude from actors who consider themselves superior to the crew, however, so he doesn't let it affect him.
There is another break at 6pm for dinner, and shooting finally wraps for the day at 9:15. Mixy will head home, crash into a pile of pillows, and be back at 5am tomorrow to do it all over again. Until then, the only sound to be heard will be that of his snoring. And of his girlfriend getting up to go sleep on the couch.
Or the floor. Whatever's closest.

Protective cases for smartphones are not just protective anymore. Device accessory companies are now producing multifaceted cases to of course protect your phone from shock– as in a drop to the ground from your coat pocket but also featuring their cases with additional capabilities and benefits. iWalk, no stranger to smart-accesories, namely battery-integrated products, has done just that.
Meet their new Chameleon line of phone cases for iPhone 4/4S and for Galaxy S III. It is a rugged case aimed to protect and to keep your smartphone's battery from draining. The Chameleon for iPhone and the Chameleon Easy for Galaxy S III each have an on-board lithium polymer battery; making the Easy Galaxy's most powerful back-up battery phone case in the market.
iWalk's Chameleon Easy packs a 2,800mAh lithium battery and is currently available in black, white, blue and red. The Chameleon, a case for iPhone 4 and 4S has a 2,000mAh rated battery and is available in white, black, pink, lime and yellow color options. Both models are have an integrated LED battery level indicator and an On/Off switch to activate/deactivate the charge.
"The smartphone has morphed into an entertainment center, daily planner, GPS devices, shopping assistant and more, but added capabilities also increase the demand for battery power," said Harris Bernstein, VP of sales and marketing for iWalk. "The Chameleon and Chameleon Easy give users of the two most popular smartphones in the world the ability to fully enjoy their device without worrying about batter power."
The Chameleon line of cases was designed for active smartphone users, perfect for those of us who listen to mp3 audio during the day, those who use GPS maps, who blog or send e-mails regularly. iWalk is setting out to ease the minds of such smartphone users — no more scrambling to find an outlet or that 'dropping' feeling that your heart gets when its battery gauge starts to blink. Learn more about the product line, the company and their additional innovations, all found on the company's homepage.

'Glengarry Glen Ross' opens
"Always be closing." This is the basic building block for a definition of masculinity in the upcoming play "Glengarry Glen Ross" opening Friday at CAST Theatre.
Judie Hanel directs CAST's first staged reading for the 2012-13 season. In a staged reading, the actors work from scripts, but the actors also move and make entrances and exits. The play shows parts of two days in the lives of four desperate Brooklyn real estate agents who are prepared to engage in any number of unethical, illegal acts — from lies and flattery to bribery, threats, intimidation and burglary — to sell undesirable Florida real estate to unwitting prospective buyers. Cast members are Gregory Baisden, Tom Burns, Jason Carpenter, Greg Colt, Joe Garoutte, Greg Gilbertson, Bruce Ludwig and Kirby Neumann-Rea. Performance dates are Nov. 2 and Nov. 3 at 7:30 p.m. at Columbia Center for the Arts, 215 Cascade Ave. in Hood River. Ticket prices are $5. Note that the play contains extensive mature language, and may not be suitable for children under 16.

WASHINGTON (April 3, 2013)--President Barack Obama will return 5 percent of his salary to the Treasury to share the pain of thousands of federal workers facing furloughs in light of automatic spending cuts, the White House said Wednesday.
A White House official says Mr. Obama decided to return part of his salary each month for the rest of the year to share in the sacrifice that government employees are making.
The official wasn't authorized to discuss the decision publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The president makes $400,000 per year so the 5 percent pay cut amounts to a little less than $1,700 per month.
The decision is retroactive to the beginning of March, which is when $85 billion in federal spending cuts kicked in after lawmakers failed to agree on a plan to undo them.

Old English gaderian, of West Germanic origin; related to Dutch gaderen, also to together.
good from Old English:
The ancient root of good probably meant 'to bring together, unite' which was also the source of gather (Old English). In 1957 British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan said, 'Let us be frank about it: most of our people have never had it so good'. 'You Never Had It So Good' was the US Democratic Party slogan during the 1952 election campaign. Also in 1952, Kentucky Fried Chicken opened its first outlet, and for many years its slogan has been 'It's finger-lickin' good'. Good Friday, the Friday before Easter Day, on which Christ was crucified, uses good in the old sense 'observed as holy'. Our word goodbye (late 16th century) is actually a shortened form of the phrase God be with you. In time good replaced God, in line with phrases such as good morning and goodnight. Sweets and cakes have been goodies since the mid 18th century, and the childish exclamation goody is first recorded not much later. Goody goody gumdrops was the catchphrase of Humphrey Lestocq, the host of the British children's TV show Whirligig in the 1950s.

Product Description
"For all Frenchmen of courage, the time has come to conquer or die!"
With these words Napoleon launched 125,000 men across the Belgian frontier... L'Arme du Nord. Man for man they were arguably the best troops he had ever commanded. They were the veterans, chosen from among the half a million men that answered the call to arms in the frantic mobilization following his dramatic return from exile. Each man burned with the desire to revenge the humiliating reverses of the past few years.
Ahead lay the crossing of the Sambre River at a place called Charleroi; an intersection barely visible on their maps called Les Quatre Bras; a sleepy little village on the banks of the meandering Ligny brook; a narrow bridge at a place called Genappe; a bustling little town called Wavre; and another intersection set amidst the gently rolling Brabantine farmland. . . .a place called Mont. St. Jean . . . . just south of the village of Waterloo. The road to Brussels then was a straight shot north. Two days of hard marching would see them in the capital, three if they had to fight a battle....
As Napoleon, can you mass the French in time to crush each Allied army in succession? As Blcher or Wellington, can you mobilize, and then unite on the field of battle to stop the sheer torrent of energy that is. . . .Napoleon? Find out with L'Arme du Nord! The game includes three 34" x 22" maps and one and 1/2 counter sheets.

I have been told that zero coke would help me to lost weight and I've been considering to put that on my budget. But every time, I drink zero coke, I feel that it's not helping me to lose some weight because my tummy is getting bigger after a few minutes of drinking a can of zero coke.
So, tonight, out of my curiosity, I searched on the net, the disadvantages of the diet coke. And there I found a lot. While reading the articles, I was very scared because I know someone who really loves to drink diet softdrink and this someone is very precious to me. I guess, all of us have known that diet softdrink has contained of the artificial sweetener. The aspartame/Neotame not good to our health, and this site here explains more about it. The publisher of the article urges to let everyone knows about the site. So, please if you have a spare time, please don't forget to open the site.

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
by Mark Twain
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Drugs and Alcohol Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
He said he'd cowhide me till I was black and blue if I didn't raise some money for him. I borrowed three dollars from Judge Thatcher, and pap took it and got drunk, and went a-blowing around and cussing and whooping and carrying on; (5.31)
Pap shows no shame in his public displays of drunkenness. It's a huge part of who he is –see our thoughts on him in his "Character Analysis."
Quote #5
…so every now and then I'd borrow two or three dollars off of the judge for him, to keep from getting a cowhiding. Every time he got money he got drunk; and every time he got drunk he raised Cain around town; and every time he raised Cain he got jailed. He was just suited – this kind of thing was right in his line. (6.1)
Pap's alcoholism is cyclical in nature, and Huck has come to expect drinking binges and violence from his father.
Quote #6
Every little while he locked me in and went down to the store, three miles, to the ferry, and traded fish and game for whisky, and fetched it home and got drunk and had a good time, and licked me.
The old man made me go to the skiff and fetch the things he had got. There was a fifty-pound sack of corn meal, and a side of bacon, ammunition, and a four-gallon jug of whisky, and an old book and two newspapers for wadding, besides some tow. (6.3-8)
For Huck's father, alcohol has become a priority over food and other necessities. Huck's dad takes his need to feed the addiction to hurtful levels.

"The Last Cargo Cult" Looks At the Meaning of Money
Mike Daisey, the theater monologist who made waves with "How Theater Failed America" in 2008, and who followed up with "If You See Something, Say Something," is back with "The Last Cargo Cult" at the Public Theater in New York. The show, directed by Jean-Michele Gregory, starts previews on Dec. 3 and opens Dec. 7.
So-called "cargo cults" are religious groups that spring up as a result of a technologically advanced society's contact with one that is less developed in that area. In his show, Daisey explores the meaning of money and the recent international financial crisis while recounting his visit to the South Pacific Island of Tanna, a place with almost no currency, where some inhabitants have built religious rituals around the U.S. and American artifacts. (Tanna is getting a fair amount of publicity lately–tribesman from the island are featured in the new series "Meet the Natives: USA" on the Travel Channel.) Daisey talked to Speakeasy about his coming show.
Speakeasy: How did you go from "there's a financial crisis" to "I'm going to the South Pacific?"
Mike Daisey: I had been obsessed with cargo cults for years. There was a period last fall when every single day the news was unbelievable in the financial markets. I was up very late and read an article about John Frum day. Every February 15th everyone on Tanna gathers at the base of an erupting volcano and reenacts the history of America and of their island in dance, theatre and song. I had a moment of clarity: there are connections between the systems of faith and trust in John Frum and the faith and trust we have in financial markets. Finance is our religion.
How is finance like religion?
It is wrapped around our brain stems so thoroughly we can't imagine a world without it. The Wall Street Journal is dedicated to covering financial markets, examining where money is increasing, what is its debt rate… but not with what money actually is. Most economists are fearful of talking about that. Financial markets rely on trust. Talking too deeply about it corrodes trust. The Catholic Church doesn't sit down and dissect proofs for the existence of God all day, and we don't examine core assumptions about what money does in relationships. Financial systems and money are corrosive to human relationships, and we like that.
How does a culture without money get by?
White people showing up disrupted the social network so thoroughly they had to invent a word for what had been before, kastom. They are largely without barter. They live communally in family units. In the conflict between money and kastom, money's winning. Young people who leave come back with stories of a magical world. We in the first world make awesome sh–. The cargo of the first world is spirit as well as objects. Cargo is iPods, polio vaccines, feminism, color photography. These things are byproducts of the same system. They come wrapped in money.

I am writing today as a concerned citizen of the United States of America. God has blessed me with the ability to raise a family here in Umatilla and along with that He has given me an opportunity to serve this great community for almost 8 years now. I, like many of you, am very concerned about the direction that our country is headed.
For years we have been on a downward spiral. Religious liberty is under attack around every corner, lawlessness seems to be normal for some, morality has gone down the drain, and financially our country is BROKE!! I don't know about you, but I am fed up. Matter of fact, I am fed up with the FED's. I am fed up with big government trying to tell us how to raise our kids, how to run our businesses, how to use our guns, how and when we can worship, and I am certainly tired of them taking more of our hard earned money to go towards their inflated salaries.
When is it going to stop? When are the American people going to join together to say, "Enough is enough". I am not talking about a revolution, but I am talking about something that will revolutionize the future for our children and grandchildren. Years ago and even today many men and women have been fighting wars to protect our freedom to live peacefully, to work happily, and to pray openly. Right now all of those freedoms and many more are being ripped away.
Sunday evening at First Baptist Church of Umatilla we had a movie event called "One Generation Away" the erosion of religious liberty. We had about 750 people in attendance that collectively were saying "enough is enough". This isn't about being Democrat, Republican, or Independent. This is about being an American that cares about family, faith, and freedom.
Listen up Lake County, America will never change if you wait on someone else to change it for you. The time is now to make a difference in this society and it starts by getting involved. If you want to know more about getting plugged in First Baptist Church of Umatilla is ready to lead the way. You can stay up to speed on upcoming events and ways to make a difference in our country by following us on facebook and checking us out at www.fbcumatilla.org
It's time for America to bless God!!
In Christ,
Brooks Braswell

Make Your Own Microwave Popcorn
Well, we certainly celebrated National Popcorn Day with a bang! To make the most of such a delicious theme, we decided to experiment with homemade microwave popcorn. Turns out, making your own microwaveable popcorn packets is simple and quick, and the kernels pop up fresh, hot and delicious! We think the best part is that you can control the salt, fat and additives that make it into your snack. It's a great way to harness the whole-grain goodness of popcorn!
To start, measure ¼ cup of popcorn kernels into a bowl. We love using our white popcorn kernels for this snack, but ladyfinger popcorn kernels and mushroom popcorn kernels also pop up nice and fluffy. If desired, toss the kernels with about 2 tsp. of olive oil or vegetable oil, as well as a sprinkling of salt. Our butter-flavored popcorn salt gives it that nice, movie-theater touch, but our finely ground flour salt is also perfect popcorn seasoning because it really sticks to the popped kernels.
Pour the kernels into a plain brown paper lunch bag and fold the top of the bag over two or three times. If desired, you can secure the fold with Scotch tape, but we didn't find it to be necessary. Place the bag flat on its side with the folded edge pointing up and microwave it for two to three minutes on high. Stand in front of the microwave the whole time to monitor the popping. When there's a three- to five-second lag between pops, stop the microwave and remove the bag.
Pour the popcorn into a bowl and season it with melted butter, Parmesan cheese or even a little more salt and some pepper. We also like to use a sprinkling of our yummy seasoning blends and spices to make it extra-special.
You don't have to include the oil in the popcorn. We liked the extra flavor it gave to the kernels, but the popcorn pops up fine without it. Likewise, you can cut the salt if you're watching your intake, dust it with some cinnamon and sugar if you're craving something sweet, or even eat it plain. It's up to you!
Have you ever made homemade microwave popcorn? What are some of your secrets and special touches?

I've been making microwaved organic popcorn in a paper bag for years! It's the only way. 😀 I must say you really covered all the bases with your recipe and then some. I've always popped it without oil, but I think I'll have to give that a try this weekend. Change is good!

Wow! Kewl!!! Thanks…my son will love to know this since I banned prepackaged popcorn and he's not keen with pots on the stovetop. Love your ideas and healthy recipes to help us along in this ever changing food market.

Glitter Tattoo Party in a Box comes with everything you need to give yourself a temporary tattoo made of glitter. Each kit includes four tubs of body glitter, one tube of body glue, 12 self-adhesive stencils, two brushes, and an instruction/care card.
To apply, choose the desired stencil design and peel off the backing. Make sure your skin is completely clean and dry before applying the stencil. Place the stencil on your skin. Remove the top clear layer making sure the stencil remains flat on the skin. Apply a thin coat of body glue. Remove the stencil and wait until the glue becomes clear. Use the small glitter brush to apply glitter to the area with glue. Make sure to completely cover the glue with glitter. You can use one color of glitter or all four colors. Brush away excess glitter using the big glitter brush. The glitter tattoo will last up to seven days under normal conditions. (If you want the tattoo to last longer, put it on the outer arm to avoid friction with clothes.) To remove the tattoo, gently scrub the area with an alcohol swab. You can also use lotion, let it soak for five to 10 minutes, and then scrub and remove.
There are three Glitter Tattoo kits to choose from: Pop Classic, Princess + Hearts, and Blossom. Each is sold separately.
The Glitter Tattoo Party in a Box kits are fun and easy to do. It took us about 30 seconds to make a single color glitter tattoo and about one minute to do a two-color glitter tattoo. The finished result looks really cool, and it stays intact for a long time. Kids will love wearing and showing off their sparkly tattoos.
The Glitter Tattoo Party in a Box is for ages 3 and up. Adult supervision is required, and younger kids will definitely need adults to put the tattoos on for them.
The glitter tattoos are 100-percent non-toxic and safe for the skin.
After you unscrew the lid of each glitter container, there is still a plastic cover that needs to be removed. This cover can be hard to remove, especially for younger kids. It's helpful if you have long nails so you can dig between the container and the plastic cover to lift off the cover. The plastic cover can then be discarded.
The glitter tattoos are waterproof but become weak when subjected to prolonged time in water. After swimming or taking a bath, pat dry the area. Do not scratch or scrub your glitter tattoo as friction shortens the lifespan of the tattoo. Avoid putting alcohol-based products, oil, or lotion on the area as this can weaken the tattoo.
