I own an event planning business, but this was for personal use for my daughter's 15th birthday pool party. I had to cancel due to weather, but the kids thought the candy bars were just awesome. She felt like she was on one of those sweet 16 shows. Only the V.I.P got the personally delivered candy bars. I will definitely order again!

WASHINGTON -- The ball lay in Jenrry Mejia's locker, the commissioner's signature still visible and pristine. It was a memento for a career first.
The Mets turned to Jenrry Mejia to be their closer for the first time since his move to the bullpen and he notched his first save, closing out a 5-2 win over the Nationals with two strikeouts in the ninth.
"There can't be a better scenario," manager Terry Collins said. "We got a three run lead. It's a save situation in the ninth inning. We gotta found out and how he's going to handle it."
Mejia handled it fine. Given notice that he would pitch late in today's game, Mejia was prepared for the latest task. The early notice had given him comfort.
He had pitched in the seventh and eighth inning before and the ninth felt no different for him.
"That's fun," Mejia said. "That don't feel any different because those innings you gotta know when you're going to be coming."
"Seventh, eighth, ninth, it feels the same because that's the game."
Collins is not sure yet if Mejia will be able to pitch Sunday. He and Mejia will wait until the morning to see how his arm feels, but the manager is intent on seeing if Mejia can pitch on back to back days soon.

The owners of a Scottsdale restaurant whose meltdown on national television went viral this year have been named by an online career site as two of America's worst 10 bosses in 2013.
Salomon "Samy" and Amy Bouzaglo, the owners of Amy's Baking Company, garnered international attention in May when an episode of the TV show "Kitchen Nightmares" showed them screaming at each other, cursing at customers, firing an employee and taking tips left for servers.
In its fifth annual ranking of America's worst bosses, eBossWatch put the Bouzaglos sixth on the list, which also includes a former mayor, law-enforcement and fire-department officials and a bishop.
Amy Bouzaglo said last week she was not surprised by the ranking. But she said it was based on misleading and inaccurate portrayal of the business. She said the company passed a U.S. Department of Labor investigation without a single violation this year.
She and her husband imagine a lot has been said about them that is not true, Amy said in a phone interview from her home. "If we're going to be called the worst in 2013, we can show in 2014 that we are one of the best."
The comments are markedly different from earlier interviews and online posts when Amy responded to criticisms with curses and threats of litigation. Buzzfeed described the Bouzaglos' online rants as "the most epic brand meltdown on Facebook ever." Yahoo, Forbes, the Daily Beast, E! Online and Huffington Post all had stories on the Bouzaglos, who maintained their website and social-media accounts were hacked.
The list ranks the Bouzaglos below former San Diego Mayor Bob Filner, who resigned amid allegations of sexual-harassment charges and later plead guilty to criminal charges. They also follow a travel-agency executive, a New York City Department of corrections official, an oil-company owner and a funeral-service manager.
eBossWatch allows people to anonymously rate their bosses and evaluate potential employers. Managers on the list of America's Worst Bosses were named in workplace lawsuits by employees, accused of workplace harassment, discrimination, retaliation and creating a hostile work environment.
"To date, the 2013 America's Worst Bosses have cost their employers over $52 million in monetary damages and lawsuit-settlement payments," eBoss Watch said in a statement. "Of this amount, the 33 bad bosses in the public sector have cost their respective taxpayers over $21 million."
Amy's closed in the wake of the May 10 "Kitchen Nightmares" episode, in which the host, British chef Gordon Ramsay, walked out of the restaurant declaring he could not help the owners "because they are incapable of listening."
Eleven days after the show, the Bouzaglos held a weeklong "grand reopening" with more than 1,500 people requesting reservations. Since then, Amy said the restaurant has been untroubled by controversy. She blamed the media for creating problems. But that hasn't stopped her from making television appearances.
"We were just on the Dr. Phil show," Amy said. "Our employees like us ... we treat them like members of a family. We work together as a team."
The restaurant drama turned personal for the Bouzaglos, when The Arizona Republic and 12 News reported Samy, 63, of Israel, is facing deportation from the U.S. and served prison time on drug and intimidation charges overseas. He has been banned from France and Germany.
Amy, 40, also served time in federal prison. In 2003, she pleaded guilty to misuse of a Social Security number when she applied for a $15,000 bank loan. She spent about a year in prison beginning in 2008.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement three years initiated deportation against Samy. Amy said last week the case is ongoing and that the couple hope for a good outcome, based on their work ethic.
"They should welcome him," Amy said, adding that Samy has not had any trouble with authorities since immigrating to the U.S. more than 13 years ago. "My husband and I are hard-working people. ... We proudly have a handwritten letter from George W. Bush hanging in our restaurant."
Amy said she and her husband put everything they have into their business, and they are committed to being a productive part of the community.
"This has been very damaging, emotionally," she said. "I encourage anyone who has enough intelligence inside their brains, and who is not lazy, to come to our restaurant."

It was July 27, 1995, and the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., just had been dedicated.
Among those in attendance were Howard Wilt and William "Bill" Kast, both of whom served in the Korean War.
The two met each other on a bus leaving the ceremony and together they came up with the idea to start the Korean War Veterans of Lycoming County, which officially formed in 1997.
Since that day, many of the original members have died, including Kast.
But Wilt, a Marine Corps veteran, remains, along with 215 active members.
Wilt speaks about the early days of the organization with pride.
"We started out slow with about 10 members and kept building," he said. "Bill Kast was a go-getter type of guy. He was a real hard worker. He never did anything the next day that he could do today."
Close to two years after its inception, the group reached 250 members with the help of various veterans organizations and positive word of mouth.
"Somebody would join and they'd really enjoy it and tell their friends," Wilt said.
That popularity and enthusiasm hasn't waned in the intervening years, said Wilt, citing the immense turnout at a statewide reunion here that was held this past July to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the end of the Korean War.
The reunion was held here with a special ceremony at Veteran's Memorial Park in Williamsport's west end.
"None of us had any experience putting together anything like it, so that created a problem," he said. "But we had a lot of help from local veterans organizations and the Williamsport/Lycoming Chamber of Commerce. We did it because we felt it was the perfect time to celebrate the end of the war."
"It's the only organization I've been a part of that can still get that kind of turnout," Army veteran Charles A. Johnson said.
Perhaps that has something to do with the group's relentless dedication to their fellow veterans, alive or passed, as is evidenced in their honor guard.
The story of the honor guard is one of staggering statistics.
Formed in 1999, the group has officiated at 1,200 funerals and counting. In November alone, the members performed at 10 funerals in 27 days. Over the years, they have traveled 67,000 miles and have never canceled for bad weather. They attend three to four funerals per week.
No one member has attended every funeral, but a few of the men are nearing 600, including Wilt, Marine Corps veteran Wilbur M. "Bill" Emig, Army veteran Galen Seaman and Air Force veteran George Wolfe.
"We feel that anybody who served this country and was not dishonorably discharged deserves a military funeral," Wilt said.
Officiating at funerals is just one of many services the honor guard provides. The honor guard often performs when county officials are elected, and for several years did the honors for the annual 9/11 motorcycle ride.
But the honor guard's formation wasn't a given when the Korean War Veterans was incorporated.
It took an embarrassing display by another group at a veteran's funeral attended by member Bill Emig, who is credited with the guard's founding.
On July 22, 1999, the honor guard performed its first ceremony. During the three months leading up to that day, the group practiced often and acquired the proper uniforms, rifles and ammunition to do it right.
"For a while there we just said 'bang' before we had any ammunition," Emig said.
Despite their humble beginnings, they eventually would gain a reputation for providing a respectful and necessary service for their fellow veterans.
The Rev. John K. Manno, of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Montoursville, is an honorary member of the unit.
"They are beautiful, beautiful men," he said. "They are always in a good mood and I was honored when they asked me to give the invocation (at the reunion ceremony). I have always been impressed by them."
The honor guard is comprised of 27 veterans, ages 77 to 85. As they get older, having the full unit present at each funeral becomes more difficult, Emig said. Since 1999, 14 members have died.
Now, anywhere from 12 to 20 honor guard members perform per ceremony.
Who will replace the final lineup once they're gone is still to be decided, though Emig hopes the Vietnam War veterans will take over.
Asked what keeps them going after so many years, the men not only credited the vital role their wives have played, but also each other.
"Whenever we get together, we have an instant camaraderie. It's like we're kids again, like we're siblings," Marine Corps veteran Charles Sheets said.
"We're a real band of brothers," Army veteran John Keene added.

Noah Wyle, who stars in the dysfunctional-family drama The Myth of Fingerprints, plays one of four siblings who goes home for Thanksgiving. Except for the dysfunctional part, it must have seemed like old times. Well, sort of. "I am the oldest boy of six kids," says Wyle, 26, who grew up in Los Angeles. "But it wasn't like The Brady Bunch. All the boys didn't have the same room. And I went away to boarding school when I was 13." Wyle has since moved into America's living rooms as Dr. John Carter on NBC's top-rated drama ER. So how did he celebrate after the show's live season premiere? "I just went home and crashed," he says. "We did it." But Wyle already has a few ideas about how they can top themselves. "I think the next thing will be the underwater episode of ER," he says. "We're all taking swimming lessons."
Stylish singer-actor Harry Connick Jr. is well-suited to cohost the VH1 Fashion Awards with Ashley Judd Oct. 24 in New York City (taped to air Oct. 28). At home, Connick admits he commands more closet space than his wife, fashion model Jill Goodacre. "She can't even compete," says Connick, 30, with a laugh. "I've got everything—shoes, suits, shirts, pants, jeans, T-shirts, sweaters. Man, when it comes to that stuff, get out of my way." But when it comes to getting dressed in a timely fashion, Connick is at a distinct disadvantage. "I've got to, like, make myself look good," he says. "But Jill looks great wearing anything. You kind of hate her for that."
Sigourney Weaver, who plays a faithless suburban wife in the current drama The Ice Storm, resurfaces on more familiar terrain next month in the fourth Alien movie, Alien Resurrection. And her character, Ripley, who committed suicide in Alien 3, comes back from the dead with a real lust for life. "It's kind of kinky," says Weaver, 48. "It gave me a chance to play something completely different from what I've done with Ripley in the past." Weaver remains coy on whether that included a reported sex scene with the alien. "It is a more sensual movie—let's put it that way," she says slyly. "I don't think it's a hardcore sex-with-an-alien movie. That's Alien 5."
Having starred in last year's The Craft and Scream, does Party of Five's Neve Campbell think she'll be seen as the new Jamie Lee Curtis of horror flicks? "Oh, I hope not," says Campbell, 24, who returns in Scream 2 this December. "She's herself. Besides, she got out of the scream thing." For now, Campbell isn't annoyed when fans ask her to shriek in public. "It hap-k pens all the time," she says brightly. "I love screaming, so usually I do it. I like to cooperate. Plus, I've been screaming all my life. I learned how by doing The Phantom of the Opera as a kid. Believe me, we spent the whole play screaming."

Don't let it get away!
Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.

"The markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent."
-- John Maynard Keynes
On the surface, shorting stocks isn't a tough concept to understand. You're simply betting the stock will go down instead of up. All you have to do is look for companies that are performing poorly, and you've got a guaranteed winner, right?
The challenge of shorting stocks is that all sorts of things can get in the way of short-sellers, many of which don't make a lot of sense. The irrational market is much as Keynes identified, and this year irrationality appears to be extraordinarily high in the market.
When terrible stocks go up
The few short trades I've made have been in companies that I think are really terrible fundamentally. This approach reduces the risk of being on the wrong side of a growth stock the market never seems to value logically, but even betting against bad companies has its risks.
Take Caesars Entertainment (NASDAQ: CZR ) as a prime example in 2013. The company has lost $1.4 billion in the past year, revenue is declining, and it's drowning in debt, yet the stock is up 215% this year. In this case, investors have been suckered in by the promise of a spinoff including the company's online gaming operations, which themselves don't have any real revenue yet. I don't think the sum of the parts make any sense, but the market says differently.
Nokia (NYSE: NOK ) is a similar story. The company lost $5 billion last year and has no real momentum against smartphone giants Apple and Google. But a sudden offer by Microsoft to buy its handset unit boosted the stock, killing short-sellers in the process. Is Nokia suddenly a good company? No, but that doesn't mean the stock can't go up.
Even betting against bad companies who perform terribly financially can result in massive losses for short-sellers.
Leave logic at the door
The market can be even more maddening for those trying to short stocks they think are wildly overvalued. Tesla Motors (NASDAQ: TSLA ) is worth just under a third of what Ford is worth, or $1 million per car it produces each year, yet the market doesn't bat an eye at what the stock is trading for. Plus, using GAAP, the company hasn't turned a profit yet. Trying to envision how Tesla can live up to its current valuation will leave even the best investing minds scratching their heads.
Stern School of Business professor Aswath Damondaran, a well-respected mind on valuation and finance, Tweeted last week that even if "Tesla grows to have Audi-like revenues ($67 b) & Porsche-like margins (12.5%), I can't get past $70/sh." Take a look at his full argument here and see just how fast Tesla would have to grow to live up to expectations.
Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX ) and Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN ) are two popular shorts based on the insane valuations both companies have garnered. Neither seems to be able to make a consistent profit, and in the case of Amazon there doesn't seem to be any real desire by management to make a profit long term.
Yet both stocks continue to rise despite little earnings power. Netflix has at least made a $47 million profit in the past year, earning a 369 P/E ratio, while Amazon is losing money and still has a $134 billion market cap.
Shorting stocks based on valuation can be even more dangerous than shorting bad companies. You never know how long the market is going to give stocks that look overvalued a pass, and it's possible they'll just become more overvalued in the future, even if the value doesn't make any logical sense.
Shorting is a dangerous game
This year is showing exactly why shorting stocks is so dangerous. You have unlimited downside, and when the market becomes irrationally exuberant about an investment you can be left in the dust, even if the company is losing money or has terrible future prospects.
Stick to investments that won't make you broke
While shorting stocks can leave you broke, dividend stocks can make you rich. It's as simple as that. While they don't garner the notability of high-flying growth stocks, they're also less likely to crash and burn. And over the long term, the compounding effect of the quarterly payouts, as well as their growth, adds up faster than most investors imagine. With this in mind, our analysts sat down to identify the absolute best of the best when it comes to rock-solid dividend stocks, drawing up a list in this free report of nine that fit the bill. To discover the identities of these companies before the rest of the market catches on, you can download this valuable free report by simply clicking here now.

Justin Bieber concussed after walking into a glass wall
Justin Bieber may have cause a stir in his Oslo fans earlier this week, but he shook up his own head when he accidentally tried walking through a glass wall.
At a concert in Paris in Thursday, he walked backstage between songs during his set and banged hard into what sounds like the worst thing ever to have backstage at a concert venue. He passed out for 15 seconds, according to reports, and was said to have gotten a concussion. However, he went on to finish his set.
A few years ago, he had a similar run-in with the glass of a revolving door. It happens to the best of us, kid.

With compassion, energy and a belief in the power of education, Rosa Blue P'72, P'77, P'84, P'84 has become a leader of the Geneva community, shaping the progress of the City, its people and its future. She stands among the great women of our nation who have proven that one person can and does make a difference.
She was born in Madison, Florida, in 1932, and her father liked to joke that Rosa Blue was debating and questioning the world from the moment of her birth. Her father encouraged her to "hold her point" as well as to always tell the truth. In 1949 when she and her husband moved to Geneva, Rosa Blue continued to speak out when she felt she or others had been treated unjustly.
A local civil rights leader, Rosa Blue's inclusive philosophy of life – that differences can be overcome through collaboration – has guided her efforts in Geneva for 60 years. A mother of seven, four of whom attended Hobart and William Smith, she has worked tirelessly to ensure that all children have access to education. She has served on community boards and action groups to improve low-income housing and increase available daycare, while around her kitchen table, she has taught women how to get a mortgage and how to get their children into college. During the turbulent 60s, she led trips to march in demonstrations in Washington D.C., and worked to create equality in Geneva.
The first female president of the Geneva NAACP, Rosa Blue served as executive secretary of the Geneva Human Rights Commission for more than 30 years. Inspired by Martin Luther King Jr., in 1974 she helped organize the first march in Geneva dedicated to his memory, 12 years before the national holiday was first observed. Through the Martin Luther King Jr. Committee, she helped establish a scholarship fund for local, black students, which continues to this day. To date, more than 200 local students have been sent to college through these efforts. She remains an advocate for the recruitment of black civil servants in law enforcement and open communication and outreach to the black community.
Rosa Blue's achievements are significant. She has received the Loftus C. Carson Human Rights Award given by the New York State Division of Human Rights; the Heritage Award given by The Martin Luther King Committee; the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Geneva Area Branch of the NAACP; the Community Service Award from Geneva's NAACP; and the Springstead Award from the Geneva Rotary Club. In 2007, the students of Hobart and William Smith presented her with the Award of Excellence for her outstanding commitment to the Geneva community.

9 Months without an Illinois State Budget – Action Needed
Even as the General Assembly begins to debate a budget for fiscal year 2017, lawmakers have not agreed to a budget for this fiscal year, which ends June 30, 2016. The harm is widespread, but elimination of programs or cuts in services especially impact underserved and underrepresented children, families, the elderly and the disabled.
Organizations are folding, others are cutting staff. The impact of these cuts include: programs for healthy pregnancies and babies, services for teen pregnancy prevention and for teen parents, developmental therapies for children under four, home visiting programs, child care assistance, after school programs, violence protection for families with young children, community-based youth crisis interventions, programs to reduce incarceration of youth, sexual assault services and prevention, substance abuse treatment and prevention programs, aid to public colleges and universities and student grants, services for homeless youth.
Recent examples of specific program cuts that provided life supports for struggling children and families include:
- Metropolitan Family Services in Chicago eliminated services for 80 mothers and infants;
- 9,600 children statewide, previously eligible for child care subsidies, are not able to access quality child care
- Children's Home + Aid suspended state-mandated 24-hour crisis services, cutting off crisis intervention services for runaways in Englewood and West Englewood;
- Thirty-three counties can no longer serve youth through cost-effective programs that divert youth away from costly incarceration;
- After school programs serving 14,000 teens statewide are eliminated;
- Rape crisis centers are turning away thousands of victims of sexual violence who need advocacy and counseling;
- Statewide over 900 individuals have been cut from substance abuse treatment programs because of cuts by Lutheran Social Services;
- Haymarket Center in Chicago can no longer provide its detoxification program, which last year served 903 people;
- Wells Center in Jacksonville no longer provides medically supervised alcohol and drug detoxification services; last year 360 people were served by its program;
- An estimated 47,000 individuals statewide have been denied services or received reduced substance abuse and prevention services as a result of no payments being made for non-Medicaid patients;
- Over 14,500 units of affordable housing are not being made available.
The list goes on. For details about these cuts and to learn about others, see the March 2016 Issue Brief Update by Voices for Illinois Children.
What You Can Do NOW:
- Register now for March 7th webinar. Get involved in challenging the current budget impasse in Illinois that is impacting our entire state, and especially underserved and underrepresented children and families. The Responsible Budget Coalition (RBC) is offering a webinar on Monday, March 7 from noon – 1 pm to help folks understand the current budget impasse and Governor Rauner's budget proposal for the next fiscal year, which begins July 1, 2016. The webinar is intended to empower individuals with useful information and tools in order to be able to take action. If you are not available on March 7, the RBC will be holding these webinars monthly to provide updates on the impact of the impasse and any movement toward a budget.
- If you represent an organization, join the Responsible Budget Coalition.
- These devastating cuts were preventable. They are a result of lawmakers' failure to prevent 25% in income tax cuts from taking effect in January 2015. Since then, the state has lost an estimated $5 billion in annual revenue. Contact your legislators and the Governor. Tell them the revenue needs to be restored and Illinois needs a fully funded, year-long budget.
- The RBC has endorsed H.R. 922, the Responsible Budget Resolution. H.R. 922 calls on the General Assembly to modernize and reform our tax code in order to raise the revenue necessary to invest in families, communities, and the economy. Click here to learn more about the H.R. 922. The link allows you to download a fact sheet and the full-text of the resolution.

Recent Reports Related to the Budget Cuts:
See Voices for Illinois Children's Fiscal Policy Center March 2016 Issue Brief. Update for a detailed breakdown on services being cut or eliminated.
The Responsible Budget Coalition produced a one-page fact sheet on the harm being done to Illinois due to the budget impasse.
Background: As of July 1 Illinois stopped funding vital services for children, families, and communities because Illinois legislators and Governor Rauner could not agree on a budget that would support essential services. While parts of state government and social services continue to operate due to court orders, federal pass through funding, and piecemeal legislation, the devastation of the budget impasse is being felt across the state, dismantling critical services, and will take years to repair.
ChildLaw Policy Institute Overview

Discussion in 'MIUI Mods' started by boystuff, Oct 28, 2011.
I'm running v2 on 1.11.11.
Sent from mah 'Bolt on tapatalk
Is there an update for actually miui release?
With qhd gridsize is ok but there is another problem with widgets.
Edit: Launcher crashes with 1.11.4 mod.

No worries. Your latest version plays nice with the latest MIUI. Looking forward to updates again though.
Tap'd via SGS + MIUI
Hey would the last versions work or should we wait for update for .25 ? I would like to test out qHD version on evo3D. thanks
waiting for the new version !!!!!!
Hope we´ll see an update soon!
Any news about an update?
As Boystuff is obviously snowed under at work. Here's a 5x4 No Hotseat Launcher. In theory anyway it should support qHD as well as normal size screens but as I don't have a qHD device this is untested.. It should also support Multi-DPI settings.
(1.11.25) 5x4 No Hotseat Universal Launcher
Thanks Andy, it's working flawlessly (LG o2x), it's been a "long" time I haven't tried this mod..
Bravo mate..
5x4 version is possible with the original dock, thanks in advance.
5x4 No Hotseat Universal Launcher works great on my qHD machine (HTC Rider)!!!
Do U have any plan on 5x4 Hotseat Universal Launcher?
Thanks for ur hard work!!!
@andy thomson is possible for the rom 1.11.25, 5x4 hotseat universal launcher , thanks in advance.
Need this mod with hotseat!
Hello I would like this mod because I love the original launcher, but I think four lines of icons and there is very much wasted space, 5x4 hotseat universal launcher, it is possible this option?
Hello there and gratz for your work mate!I would like to ask you if its possible to fix some bugs on it...Im having a trouble sometimes when i install an app after the the launcher mod installation...Is there anyway to fix this?Im using your method installing the backup and widgets etc before instaling this mod and all goes well...But sometimes im finding some appz from the store that i would like to install on my device and then im getting critical errors...:/
I am aware of that issue, it's been reported before, trouble is I'm having issues replicating it. If you can get a Logcat for me after an FC that would help loads. Or if you can detail the steps you take to get the error so I can replicate it for myself..
I had install the launcher mod over the 1.11.4 ROM after the backup and all goes well...The the GoMarkets shows me that i have some updates for my appz...And when i try to update the appz i get a critical error Launcher Stop to respond...Something like that..
P.S (Updated Appz was : Google Maps,Titanium Backup,AnTuTu Benchmark,Camera 360)
Like andy said it's a known bug, I was able to replicate the FC, got a logcat, and PM'd it to andy, hope he can kill the EVIL BUNNIES

This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)(Learn how and when to remove this template message)
An insult is an expression, statement (or sometimes behavior) which is disrespectful or scornful. Insults [1] may be intentional or accidental. An insult may be factual, but at the same time pejorative, such as the word "inbred".[2]
Jocular exchange[edit]
Lacan considered insults a primary form of social interaction, central to the imaginary order - 'a situation that is symbolised in the "Yah-boo, so are you" of the transitivist quarrel, the original form of aggressive communication'.[clarification needed][3]
Erving Goffman points out that every 'crack or remark set up the possibility of a counter-riposte, topper, or squelch, that is, a comeback'.[4] He cites the example of possible interchanges at a dance in a school gym:
- A one-liner: Boy: "Care to dance?" Girl: "No, I came here to play basketball" Boy: "Crumbles"
- A comeback: Boy: "Care to dance?" Girl: "No, I came here to play basketball" Boy: "Sorry, I should have guessed by the way you're dressed".[5]
Backhanded compliment[edit]
Backhanding is slap using the back of the hand as opposed to the palm. A backhanded compliment, also known as a left-handed compliment or asteism, is an insult that is disguised as a compliment. Sometimes, a backhanded compliment may be inadvertent. However, the term usually connotes an intent to belittle or condescend.[6]
A backhanded compliment may fool the listener, but the compliment remains "backhanded" because the speaker is being intentionally slighting and insulting. In some cultures, backhanded compliments are considered a gentle or polite way of expressing disdain.[citation needed]
Some examples of backhanded compliments may be:
- "I did not expect you to ace that exam. Good for you." (Implying that you aren't very smart.)[7]
- "That skirt makes you look far thinner." (Implying that you're too fat.)[7]
- "I wish I could be as straightforward as you, but I always try to get along with everyone." (the implication here is that you're too bold or overbearing.)[7]
- "I like you. You have the boldness of a much younger woman." (Implying that you are old) [7]
Verbal insults often take a phallic form; this includes many of the more offensive profanity.[8][9]
The flyting was a formalized sequence of literary insults: 'invective or flyting, the literary equivalent of the spell-binding curse, uses similar incantatory devices for opposite reasons, as in Dunbar's Flyting with Kennedy '.[10]
'A little-known survival of the ancient "flytings," or contests-in-insults of the Anglo-Scottish bards, is the type of xenophobic humor once known as "water wit" in which passengers in small boats crossing the Thames...would insult each other grossly, in all the untouchable safety of being able to get away fast'.[11]
Samuel Johnson once triumphed in such an exchange: 'a fellow having attacked him with some coarse raillery, Johnson answered him thus, "Sir, your wife, under pretence of keeping a bawdy-house, is a receiver of stolen goods"'.[12]
Various typologies of insults have been proposed over the years. Desmond Morris, noting that 'almost any action can operate as an Insult Signal if it is performed out of its appropriate context - at the wrong time or in the wrong place' - classes such signals in ten 'basic categories: 1. Disinterest Signals...2. Boredom Signals...3. Impatience Signals...4. Superiority Signals...5. Deformed-compliment Signals...6. Mock-discomfort Signals...7. Rejection Signals....8. Mockery Signals...9. Symbolic Insults...10. Dirt Signals'.[13]
Elizabethans took great interest in such analyses, distinguishing out, for example, the 'fleering frump...when we give a mock with a scornful countenance as in some smiling sort looking aside or by drawing the lip awry, or shrinking up the nose'.[14] Shakespeare himself set up an insult-hierarchy of seven-fold 'degrees. The first, the Retort Courteous; the second, the Quip Modest; the third, the Reply Churlish; the fourth, the Reproof Valiant; the fifth, the Countercheck Quarrelsome; the sixth, the Lie with Circumstance; the seventh, the Lie Direct'.[15]
Sociologists[who?] suggest that insults are often an indicator of flawed reasoning about the character or motivation of others. Though insults are common, and often used in jest, a fundamental axiom of sociology recognizes that derogatory forms of speech make erroneous attributions about the motivation of a person. Scholars classify the erroneous assumptions as the fundamental attribution error.
What qualifies as an insult is also determined both by the individual social situation and by changing social mores. Thus on the one hand the insulting 'obscene invitations of a man to a strange girl can be the spicy endearments of a husband to his wife';[16] on the other hand, the male gaze may be insulting in and of itself to a feminist, whereas a post-feminist might note how 'his eyes took me in...[but] at least he didn't look at me offensively; and believe me, if you're a woman who works in a bar, you can tell the difference between an evaluation and an eye fuck'.[17]

Today (11 october 2014) is the festival of Karwa Chauth. On this occasion, here is a karva chauth song from "Jurrat" (1989). The song is sung by Lata and chorus. The song is picturised on Amla and other women who are seen dancing and singing, which is the recommended filmy way of observing karva chauth vrat, I suppose.🙂

Aaj hai karwa chauthh sakhi ree

This article is written by Sudhir, a fellow enthusiast of Hindi movie music and a regular contributor to this blog.
There is one big loss that the society faces of the demise of the radio broadcasts, and the rise of television and other devices. In the decades of 60s and 70s, and maybe even 80s, when radio was the prime mover of entertainment, one could bank upon hearing it somehow, someplace, every place through the day. In the morning radios would be the wake up call at homes, with news, religious music, and film music playing till one left for school or work. Afternoons and evenings again, radio used to play news and music and one could hear the sounds emanating from many households. And yes, radio would play all day at small tea shops, paan shops, and general merchants, and if there was a cricket commentary being broadcast, it was not out of place to see large crowds at tea shops and paan shops.

Karva chauth is a festival mainly associated with womenfolk, and as a result it is often forgotten by men. It is similar to men forgetting their wedding anniversaries, wife's birthday etc. What does one do, when one realises this fact late ? One hurries up to make amends. And that is what I am trying to do just now. I have realised late that today is Karwa chauth festival, and so at this late hour, I am trying to push through some karwa chauth festival songs.🙂

As many gardeners know, part of building a successful garden is making sure your ground is well prepared for planting. Tilling, or the process of making sure your soil is broken up, fluffed up, and well mixed, plays an important role in accomplishing this task. If you're not familiar with the process or want to add some new tips to your repertoire, you'll enjoy digging in to the following information.
|Photo: northerntools.com
Choosing Your Tiller
There are two common tillers that many home gardeners use.
Rear Tine Tiller: These larger modern tillers are great for preparing large areas of land to be planted. Newer models have special designs to help save the machine and your back by placing the weight over the blades in the rear. If you are using one of these larger tillers, be prepared for some bouncing and odd jerking, especially if your ground is hard.
Mini Front Tine Tiller: These tillers are designed for smaller areas and tight situations in which greater control and a smaller unit is required. These tillers still have some bounce and jerkiness, and be aware that they often will pull pretty strong – at times feeling a little more out of control than larger tillers.
When to Till
The time to till your ground is not always easy to gauge. However, it's important to get this part of the process right as it will affect the your workload and garden success down the line. The keys to remember are:
Till when the ground is appropriately moist. If you dig into your dirt and find the soil very crumbly and dry (just falls through your fingers), it's too dry. If your soil however feels soft, slightly damp, and breaks up finely in your hand, you're probably good to go. In the Rogue Valley, it often works to till during our "Spring Tease" period that tends to come in January or February. If you do till to early, with our common clay soil here in Southern Oregon, you'll likely end up with hard chunks of clay that practically turn to stone after sitting exposed for a while.
Getting Rolling
First off, if you've scoped out an area for your garden (read more about this process here), but have not tilled the area before, you're going to want to till a little deeper than you will in following tills – 1-1.5 feet should do the trick. If you have grass covering this area, do a thin till first and rake off your loose grass. Otherwise you'll be pulling it, weeds, and other things out of your garden area later. After your first till, wait 3-4 weeks to let things grow back (nutrients and healthy organisms). This is especially important if you are tilling and adding soil amendments.
Second (and Subsequent) Tills
If you've already tilled an area before, it's not necessary to go as deep. Usually 6-8" will be sufficient. This is done to help protect those very same nutrients and organisms you've been working to cultivate in your soil. In some situations using a smaller tiller may help you more efficiently gauge your depth and not over till.
Planning Your Till for Large Areas
At times when tilling a larger area, it might help to develop a diagram and plan for how you're going to till. It's best to avoid walking over soil you've just tilled, which can be a bit tricky if you don't plan ahead. However, proper planning can help ensure you know exactly what you're doing and maximize the benefits of your labor.
Go forth and till!
Looking for more intsruction? This video (while an obvious commercia) will run you through some of the basics of getting up and running with your tiller

A week after '80s idol Corey Feldman told PEOPLE he will no longer speak to longtime friend Corey Haim until Haim gets sober, one of their final heated arguments is about to be aired.
In an exclusive clip from an upcoming episode of the A&E reality series The Two Coreys, Feldman and his wife call on two close pals – former teen stars Todd Bridges and Pauly Shore – in an effort to get Haim to admit he needs help.
Having been scheduled to film a cameo appearance in the direct-to-DVD sequel to The Lost Boys, Haim appeared on the set clearly under the influence, stumbling and slurring his speech. A few days later, Feldman staged the meeting at his house, with less-than-stellar results.
Since filming on The Two Coreys ended six months ago, neither Haim nor Feldman have spoken to each other.
"I don't feel that he's a safe person to have around my wife and child at the moment, for a multitude of reasons," Feldman told PEOPLE.
Haim, who maintains that he is currently sober, responded, "I will always love Corey Feldman, but I lost 105 percent respect for him and his wife."

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI ) is set to spike at the opening bell today. Stock index futures as of 7 a.m. EDT indicate a 91-point bounce at the start of the trading -- good for a 0.61% gain in the Dow.
World markets rallied overnight on improving economic data from China and falling expectations that an attack on Syria is imminent. China helped push Asian and European shares higher after the world's second-biggest economy reported a 10.4% rise in industrial output and a 13.4% bounce in retail sales for August. Both figures were better than economists had expected.
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) will be making headlines today, as it is expected to show off two new iPhone models. However, while the unveiling should include a lower-cost iPhone aimed at dominating emerging markets, Bloomberg reported this morning that Apple won't be announcing a much-anticipated deal with China Mobile today. The Mac maker is still reportedly working on closing that deal to bring the iPhone to the world's largest wireless carrier. Apple shares are up 0.4% in premarket trading.
Meanwhile, Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT ) is hoping to cash in on the smartphone craze as well. The retailer just launched a trade-in program for handsets that offers store credit of between $50 and $300. Wal-Mart's wireless business has been a bright spot in the company's results lately. Despite weak consumer-electronics sales, it gained market share in the second quarter, and it remains the biggest handset retailer. Today's launch should help that domination continue as it boosts customer traffic. Wal-Mart shares are up 0.8% in premarket trading.
McDonald's (NYSE: MCD ) is on the move after it reported sales for the month of August that beat expectations. Comparable-store sales were up 0.2% in the U.S. as the company's Monopoly promotion overcame the generally weak economic environment. Sales were up better than 3% in Europe but fell by 0.5% in its Asia-Pacific region. The stock is up 1% in premarket trading.
Finally, Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX ) could see active trading today after it reached a deal with Virgin Media to offer its streaming service through the TV provider's set-top box. While the initial rollout is small -- limited to about 2 million households in the U.K. to start-- it is significant as Netflix's first jump into a major pay-TV operator's own hardware. Netflix shares are close to their all-time highs, up 0.6% in premarket trading.
While one day's stock rally is nice to see, the best investing approach is to choose great companies and stick with them for the long term.

Oh please. Apple sucks for overcharging customers on a phone that is essentially an app launcher.
Next time, don't look like a dumb--- and try to troll.

Well you pretty much just did yourself by calling the iPhone an app launcher.

But it is. Camera sucks, GPS sucks, LOLitunes sucks, leaving you with-say it with me- an APP LAUNCHER.

iTunes sucks? Since when? Even a android user whose ever used it cant even say that? Youre probably one of those ignorant, annoying pieces of sh*t who complains about every product of Apples.

HTC deserves a top spot. All Samsung and Apple do is fight over meaningless patents. HTC atleast gives amazing hardware.

Please give us a better graphic, it's very difficult to make out those numbers. This is crucial information and we must have it [please]. I can only make out that the manufacturer of my fabulous Galaxy Note II 4G LTE ☆ with Multi Windows is on top but, must see percentages and by how much they are 'WINNING!!'

I took my note 2 back yesterday, worst camera and mms features I've used on a high end smart phone. I hated having to select limit for mms when I launch the vid camera, and record those horribly grainy low res vids for them to be sendable. Horrible video editing too. The notes a great phone but far from fabulous. Pic folders r also stored on the phones internal storage so be careful with making hi res vids and creating a folder for them. Only 10.97 gig of the internal storage is user available.

Samsung actually run giii and note 2 classes for free. Even offer light refreshments. You should sign one of those 3 hrs classes. I did and learned a lot.
12. sithvenger (banned) (Posts: 371; Member since: 25 Aug 2012)
I thought it was a great overall device, but the camera is my most needed app coupled with the ability to send anything I shoot. The iPhone auto compresses, and auto edits videos that r too large this applies to mms and email, and I love that feature, the note would just say cant attach file size too large, so the vid was just stuck in my device. Not saying the iPhone is better, cuz the notes a beast but the iPhone suits my needs more

Go ahead, have your iPhone, little good it will do you when you can't find an available wi-fi spot. I doubt you would need to "edit" your videos or "resize" your photos because, I doubt that you have anyone to send them to. Besides, if you were so concerned with image size, you'd "intelligently" change the resolution in the Camers Settings; something I know (cough, cough, iCough) you can do on your precious iPhone [for older folks]. With regard to your comment "only 10.97 gig of the internal storage is user available", that lets me know that you've never actually owned a Galaxy Note II; it's actually about 14GB+ and is in-line with a 16GB iPhone (except a 16GB maxes out there since there's no damn expandable memory on that dreaded device). Lastly, you clearly have no "super ego" but, that's common in people with a low IQ (or, in your case, low iQ) which can lead to a more prevalent ID (or, in your case, iD); very common psyche structure of people with low-to-no intelligence!! Don't worry, though, your kids might have higher IQ's; they will definitely have Android phones, though, and will be embarrassed to be seen with you and your iPhone in public.

Dude I'm not gonna even bother getting into a stupid flame war with u. I bought the note 2, I feel it's an awesome device but that the iPhone better suits my photography needs. As far as my IQ, your post shows your IQ level, and level of class I might add. I'm no fanboy...I'm a techie, and I love both platforms. I'm just more of an apple man...case closed, and have a nice day sir. And yes I'm also sithvenger
46. darkkjedii (Posts: 21344; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
I know the pics r saved on the sd card, but pic folders go on the phones internal storage. Make a folder then take your sd card out and you'll see the the folder stays, cuz it's not on the sd card. Also papinyc cough cough icough I know how to go into the camera settings and change the resolution. That's what I like about iOS u don't have to change the res,or manually trim a video that's too long it's done automatically. That's y it's a great point shoot, and send camera... Cough cough Icough
26. SellPhones82 (Posts: 569; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
You can change where pics are saved. All of mine save to my 32GB SD card, so that is an easy fix. The MMS limit has nothing to do with Samsung and is based on the Carrier. You simply cannot send a 32mb HD video via MMS. Use drop box and just share it or email it instead, though I've seen similar limits on the size of attachments in gmail as well.
27. PAPINYC (banned) (Posts: 2315; Member since: 30 Jul 2011)
It's futile to try and explain that process to him; he won't be able to comprehend. Besides, his main issue is that the OS (he thinketh device) doesn't automatically resize his photos and videos to comply with size limitation set forth by his carrier so that he can send them via MMS to
his iMaginary friends ..... ssshhhhhh, don't tell him there
are Apps' in the Play Store that will do that for him. And, yes, Gmail does also impose a total size limit per email sent but, it's much higher than most (if not all) of the other FREE email providers.

Thanks, that helped!! I tried downloading the png but, it was still fuzzy. Now I see where Gen-Y is at 29% of iUselessness and Gen-X seems to be equally divided in terms of device preference. But, it's good to see where iPhone was clobbered with the remaining gen-groups; surprisingly, even the Golden Gen prefers Samsung/Android (we know Samsung is not making any Windows phones as of late and, therefore, must be Android), I would have thought that they would actually prefer something a lot simpler and elementary ('things that make you go hmnnnnn....')????

Okay, I had to google Generation Y (I know it's the generation before "Yours Truly"); it doesn't add up?? Based on what's been written this past year, Generation Y and Generation Z, respectively, favor Android and, therefore, Samsung should be their respective preference.
Generation X and the "Boomers" should have a preference towards iPhone and iOS since it's a lot simpler, while Generation Golden Age and beyond should quite still enjoy their flip phones.

It's almost like those stereotypes are...stereotypes!
15. dragonscourgex (Posts: 307; Member since: 16 Jan 2012)
Well the 29% of generation Y can keep their iPhone. I am very happy with my Razr. Keep in mind, if 29% of the generation uses the iPhone, that means 71% of the generation does not.
Also means that give or take a few %, since HTC makes both Windows phone and Android, there's 55% of generation Y that uses Android based phones. So, wouldn't that mean your title is incorrect and your article is miss leading?

WMU coach P.J. Fleck said Collins, a junior college transfer last year, tore his ACL in a non-contact drill during the offseason.
Collins appeared in 10 games last season and made three starts. He caught 27 passes for 401 yards and five touchdowns. Collins struggled early last season to get a grasp of the offense, but came on strong later in the season to be a true threat in the passing game.
King will look to medical redshirt this season as he continues to recover from a nagging previous injury.
WMU learned in the spring it would be without sophomore Daniel Braverman, who tore his ACL.
The Broncos will be without linebackers Terry Easmon and Devon Brant, who suffered knee injuries during the spring.
WMU added Michigan transfer linebacker Mike Jones for the coming season.
Fleck said Western Michigan parted ways with sophomore kicker Jesser Boulnemour this offseason.
Dowagiac's Brett Scanlon will join WMU as a scholarship kicker this season. Fleck said Scanlon has been impressive with his kicking during the summer.
Western Michigan also parted ways with defensive tackle Junior Estelus this offseason. The 6-foot-1, 286-pounder redshirted last season. He is believed to be headed to Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach, Fla.
The Broncos begin practice on Aug. 4. They open the season on Aug. 30 at Michigan State. That game will be broadcast on Big Ten Network.

One Piece: Unlimited World RED, the former 3DS exclusive game based on the One Piece series, has received today a Japanese release date for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita and Wii U versions of the game. These versions of the game will be released on June 12th.
Some of the first print run bonuses have also been confirmed for Japan. Gamers getting the game on release will be getting a limited DLC code for a special costume and additional quests where gamers can use Trafalgar Law and fight Doflamingo in a brand new scenario. Apparently Trafalgar Law can only be used in this bonus scenario.
One Piece: Unlimited World Red is the latest game of the One Piece: Unlimited series, developed by Ganbarion. The new game will retain some of the series' trademarks like the item collecting and crafting while introducing some new features, like a multiplayer mode. The game has also been heavily influenced by the Monster Hunter series, as gamers will have the possibility to hunt some huge monsters that will roam the game's maps.
One Piece: Unlimited World RED will also be released in North America and Europe on a yet to be confirmed 2014 release date. We'll keep you updated on the matter as soon as more news come in so stay tuned.

The Brown ohana of Wailuku hosted a Hawaiian Style Sledding Competition on Dec. 23 at the Kahului Community Center.
Twenty-five families participated in the event.
Rules specified that sleds must be constructed out of cardboard, duct tape and paint. Wax also was permitted. Each sled had to be manned, but there was no limit to the number of riders. The idea was to create a sled that will go the farthest or be the most unique.

Eight former and current Detroit police officers will get a chance to review the homicide file of stripper Tamara "Strawberry" Greene, who was tied to a long-rumored party at the Manoogian mansion and fatally shot in 2003.
The Detroit Free Press reports Norman Yatooma -- the attorney representing Greene's family in a lawsuit against the City of Detroit -- had requested the officers view the file to see if any portions are missing or suggest police intentionally blocked the investigation.
March 4, Freep.com: Those allowed to view the file under order of Chief U.S. District Judge Gerald Rosen are Mike Carlisle, Odell Godbold, Alvin Bowman, Wedad Elhage, Marian Stevenson, Billy Jackson, Danny Marshall and Mike Russell.Several of the officers in question have raised concerns about the investigation, and Carlisle has publicly stated he believes a drug dealer currently behind bars killed Greene.
As the rumor goes, Greene danced a party thrown by then-Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick at the Manoogian Mansion. She was murdered months later and her family alleges the city conspired to block police trying to investigate her death.

Lot # 1436 (of 1594) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
Circa 1954 Jacqueline Kennedy ALS
Starting Bid - $500.00, Sold For - $587.50
Four-page circa 1954 handwritten letter, undated, signed by Jacqueline Kennedy (1929-94), former First Lady and wife of President John F. Kennedy, written very shortly after her marriage to John F. Kennedy, and with significant content specifically referencing Jack, her marriage, and the car that she bought for JFK as a wedding present. The letter, dated "Sept 3," is penned in blue ink on "Hammersmith Farm Newport, Rhode Island" letterhead and concerns her dilemma regarding stocks she once owned. Addressed "Dear Tom," the letter reads in full: "My stepfather had his firm Auchincloss, Parker + Redpath in Washington, D.C. invest about $3,500 for me several years ago – before I was married – in these 2 funds. Then I sold the stock and reinvested it in Boeing Aircraft, which as you remember, I sold to buy Jack that car. So now I have no money invested in anything. These inefficient funds continue to send me little checks for $1.14 or 89 cents every few months, though I haven't had my money with them for years. It is just a nuisance – I spoke to my stepfather about it - + he had his office send me these letters – which are so complicated that I haven't done anything about them since January. I don't have any certificates – I did not realize what they were – and threw them away as they came in – though you had better not tell the funds that. Perhaps you could settle this once and for all – just tell them to cross me off their list. I don't see why I need new certificates if I no longer own stock. – If this will take up too much valuable time just skip it – but would you let me know what you decide to do. Thank you. – Jackie." Both the text and signature are boldly scripted and grade "10." Jacqueline Kennedy's stepfather was Hugh D. Auchincloss and this letter was written from his estate in Newport, Rhode Island. Hammersmith Farm was also the venue for the wedding of Jacqueline and John F. Kennedy on September 12, 1953. The car she bought for "Jack" with the proceeds of the Boeing stock, as mentioned in her letter, refers to the car she bought him as a wedding gift. The letter (5.25 x 6.75 inches, unfolded), which is written on four sides of a fold-over sheet, bears two notebook holes along the top and a horizontal mailing fold. Otherwise, it remains in Excellent condition. LOA from James Spence/JSA. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000/$1,500. SOLD FOR $587.50

pokemon will be the first to use this feature
I was just wondering if there was anytalk of Wii multiplayer online gaming. If it can access the internet it should be able to connect and play over the internet. Does anyone know anything about this?
pokemon will be the first to use this feature
PS3 now, sorry Wii. You gather dust.
So is that a yes? Um I guess it is cause nintendo gamers have been missing out on this feature. It would be really cool with games like Wario where yo ucould have like micromini game show downs or like classic shooters liek call of duty and you could turn it into something liek on the other next gen consoles.
Well yeah there will be games with online features. But I want an online FPS, one where you can create mini groups up to 15 people and go around and stuff kinda like a MMOFPS. lol.
Naruto, Dragonball, Fullmetal Alchemist, Zoids, and Bleach some of the best animes of all time.
you know what else would be cool. a feauture where you can use your mii's to fight and have them in little army costumes and stuff, that would be sooooo cool. and what does search mean? Another thing that would be cool would be a game like um................................................ ...... well i cant think of the right game exactly but still it would be like an rts or something that uses the Wii mote liek the mouse cursor.
well online play is supposed to come in march the 30. same time as blazing angels. so wii shouldnt have much longer to wait.
It would be awesome to have bowling tournements. You know, like the ones in real life where you switch lanes and what not and have a mii audience. And you get wii reputation points for wins in online games.
Wii nickname: Pwn you
Online Code: 7859-3079-5455-6670
Spoiler Alert!Wii Play, NFS:carbon, COD:3 and madden 07
It would be cool to hurl balls of flame and have the hand cursor being able to smack the miis around in miiplaza! Like a cross between black and white + sims. You couild make miis of your enemies and punish them with your mighty hand of god! and you could elevate your own mii of yourself to be king of the miis, and have a throne you can place your mii in to look down on the rest of the peasant miis... That would be better than everybody votes... What this has to do with multiplayer gaming I don't know but I felt inspored by aidan890 to put this idea out there...Originally Posted by aidan890
I like the way you think. It would be cool if you could have a whole planet for miis and give them cities and stuff. I writing this from my Wii and it is taking forever! Why wont someone make a KEYBOARD!!! It could be called a kiiboard!!!
