Looking for jars for the honey. Does anyone know where I can order them for a good price? Plastic or glass. Also, do any of you have a preference over one or the other-glass or plastic?
Looking for jars for the honey. Does anyone know where I can order them for a good price? Plastic or glass. Also, do any of you have a preference over one or the other-glass or plastic?
Try mann lake or blue sky.I prefer the plastic squeeze bottles for selling.Glass is more convenient for heating honey that gets crystalized. JMO
You can try these folks . Specialtybottle.com
how far are you from Dundee, NY? Which is north of Watkins Glen and south of Geneva. Wixson Honey Co., Inc sells jars. I don't have their number handy or I'd send it to you. Jerry may have a webpage, I'm not sure.
If you are closer to Norwich,NY, there is someone near there I could recommend.
If you are closer to Waverly,NY, then Dadants' Branch at Waverly would be your best bet. Dadant is on the web. Look them up and get the number for the Waverly Branch.
Glass can be shipped, but not insured against breakage.
Mark Berninghausen
Thanks guys!!! @Mark I'm closer to the Vt/Ma border I'll see if I can find a web site.
Thanks for the help!
Try Betterbee, right in Greenwich NY. I buy most of my bottles there. Another place I have gotten hex jars was burch bottle, 430 Hudson River Road Waterford, NY 12188
(800) 903-2830
Try living life with the attitude it's not about what you want to do but what you should do!
I've been comparing price among the bee supply places I was hoping there was another alternative. I know! I knew there was a bottle place around I came across a while back thought they were in Waterford but couldn't remember their name---thanks!
PM me what you are looking to buy. We get ours from Wixsons, which we found to have the best prices around and we will get you setup for some bottles.

Damn this thing is sick!!!
first off, AWESOME BUILD !!
I'm a little late in the building game, as I have just now (well, last night) found this mentioned somewhere, either 1919a4 or militaryfirearms, and just had to come back and see it.
this is incredible to say the least, and in my favorite caliber.
I have only skimmed the surface of the various versions but am COMPLETELY hooked.
are the plans still available for purchase ? if so could you e-mail me the info, cost, address, etc ?
It'll be a future project, but I can start gathering parts now for it. like most everybody, the list of projects keeps growing by leaps and bounds, and the cash flow keeps getting smaller and smaller, BUT, I keep trying.
OK, I'm babbling now, I'll stop here and simply say "THANK YOU" for an awesome idea and build.
I know this thread has slowed down a bit, but I've been working my my MG47es for about 3 years now...I'm not a machinist and time is not my friend, but I got all the parts cheap and I'm definitely learning as I go. It's been a hard project, but I'm finally machining the internals. Sharpshooter, has anyone ever used an MG53 trigger assembly for one pf your builds? Just trying to figure out how to make it work.
The MG53 fires from open bolt with no disconnector and has a fixed firing pin. That is not legal to build anything that way.
I stand corrected. I have a semi-MG53 that uses an AR15 FCG. Forgot I even did that, damn, I must be getting old.
im with ya mg555, its been one of the most challenging builds iv done so far.
In re-guards to the controversity (spelling?)that happened on another popular web site, plans and tutorial are still available here and may soon be available at the other site in the future.
I've gotta start on me one of those. I think its sparked my interest again.

The H1N1 virus (swine flu) is an infection of the nose, throat, and lungs. It is caused by the H1N1 influenza virus.
Swine flu; H1N1 type A influenza
Earlier forms of the H1N1 virus were found in pigs (swine). Over time, the virus changed (mutated) and infected humans. H1N1 is a new virus first detected in humans in 2009. It spread quickly around the world.
During the 2010-2010 flu season, the H1N1 virus has not caused widespread infections. A separate vaccine has not been needed, though the H1N1 virus is still one of the three viruses included in the regular (seasonal) vaccine.
You cannot get H1N1 flu virus from eating pork or any other food, drinking water, swimming in pools, or using hot tubs or saunas.
Any flu virus can spread from person to person when:

It's so fantastic, love the colors and patterns! How do you go about sewing them together?
Very nice blocks
I don't know if anyone else does this but I cut half triangles, and their mirrors, to put together in all the spaces at the top and bottom. I usually cut them at the beginning of each strip when cutting triangles. You have to cut that triangle off at the beginning of the strip anyway. ) Ann

|it's astonishing how many "before" pictures i've taken of myself. sometimes i'm in my underwear and other times, like this 2012 edition, i keep things decent. i've yet to take an after shot.
Fall in almost here. I fear what's coming up soon. Jean shopping. It's worse than bathing suit shopping.
With bathing suits, I just buy one. I go into the whole experience knowing my body isn't going to look perfect. I try on 3 suits and pick the one that makes my boobs look the biggest. Done. With jeans, however, I'm faced with a zipper and button situation on a perpetually 4 months pregnant belly. Squeezing all that into a jeans ain't easy or fun. It's the universal dilemma of never getting the jeans to match up, either they're too lose in the leg or too tight on my hips.
More than ever, I want to look sleek and stylish in pants, but then I throw them on and suddenly I look straight out of a Gap commercial from 1998. I jump and jive my way right out of the fitting room.
Last fall, I was training for the NYC marathon and was even vegan for a month. The jeans I bought during that time were tiny and amazing. After I stopped training, ate whatever I wanted and gained fifteen pounds, those jeans didn't feel so comfortable anymore. Did I buy new ones? Nope. Too prideful. On a beautiful day in May, the seams in the crotch gave up their fight. It was obscene. I declared it the first day of summer.
I just want to let it all hang out. In the summertime, I can wear flowing dresses and I don't have a care in the world about my growing ass. The fall reminds me immediately.
So while it feels liberating to ignore diet plans for a beach body, I find myself weeks away from fall and I'm starving. It's all part of my 2013 Fall Body Diet Plan. I don't own any jeans at the moment, but when I do, they are going to look awesome. For a few weeks at least. Until the squeeze, rip, trash, SUMMER! cycle repeats itself again.
Speaking of diets, back when Ella was in first grade she brought home the worst book from school. I had to steal it. To think something like this was published in 1987! I have a feeling most copies have been burned by now, so I'm posting it here for all to see. Enjoy.
|I reallly want to track down the author and see if she's ever thought of writing a sequel.

Beketov's untimely death, and Putin's unfulfilled promise
Mikhail Beketov's recovery, in photos by CPJ and news agencies.
Mikhail Beketov, the former crusading editor of the independent newspaper Khimkinskaya Pravda in the Moscow suburb, Khimki, died this afternoon at a Moscow hospital. A choking episode during lunch led to heart failure, Elena Kostyuchenko, Beketov's friend and a reporter for the newspaper Novaya Gazeta, told CPJ by phone from Moscow. Really, though, Beketov's life was taken by the thugs who smashed his skull, broke his legs, pulverized his hands, and left him to die in the freezing cold nearly five years ago. He defied them, surviving that November 2008 night and valiantly rallying in the ensuing years, but the once robust and fearless editor was never the same.

If sponge filters would do a good job with a full plant substrate bottom, i wouldnt mind spending some cash on that.
I think (I can't say for certain) that what Diana is referring to is to effectively reduce the UGF to just the front part of the tank. Most of the typical UGFs I have seen are basically plates that sit ~1/2"-1" above the bottom of the tank, and in the back corners, have round fittings that a (typically clear) tube fits into, and this tube has an opening near the top. Then airline w/ airstones are put down the tube. The bubbles are contained with in the tube, and as they float upwards, they carry some of the water with them, creating a current. The water flowing up the tube with the bubbles comes from underneat the UGF plate, which in turn is replaced by water circulating through the gravel.
If you have a modular UGF (a bunch of squares/rectangles that snap together, or similar), you could just do one row in the front, and then rig up the tubes with an elbow so the go towards the back of the tank along the bottom, and then up the corners. If it's a single piece, you could try laying a piece of plastic over the back part (blocking all the holes so sediment doesn't fall in, and then putting your plant substrate on top of that, and just using the front part for filtration.
Anyways, I think sometimes people over-complicate the idea of biological filtration. Basically all you need is something with surface area for bacteria to grow on (gravel in a UGF, sponge in a sponge filter, Lava rock/pot scrubbers in a wet dry, etc.) that has oxygenated water flowing through it.
While you can't entirely neglect filtration, having your tank well stocked with growing plants will reduce the need for it, since the plants will directly take up a lot of the compounds the filter would be breaking down (ammonia, nitrate, some maybe some nitrites).
And as to the lights, I've coated the inside of a hood before with aluminum tape (I think it's used for ductwork, it's slightly heaver then aluminum foil, and adhesive), but a good white paint will probably be better since the effectiveness of something like aluminum/mylar as a reflector is very dependent on the shape, where as white tends to scatter the light more, so is probably a better option for most hoods.

I am going to set the floor bed of my aquarium tomorrow. I would really like to know this before I proceed.
Thank you for your replies.
micheljq -- I got the coral sand along with the tank when i bought it second hand from a friend. Since they didnt seem to affect the fishes, I didnt change it.
In my tank, I currently have 3 "hockey stick tetras", 2 "Bleeding heart tetras" and 4 other tetras i dont know the name of. A 4" long gold, two 2" long pot bellied gold, 4 angels, 4 pink zebras, one sword fish and one 7" cat fish who thinks he is 3"es long. I got the angels and the pot-bellied gold recently. All other fishes have been with me for a year.
Although, i would love tetras, i would like some variety and i went for what i then thought to be relatively peaceful species suitable for a tank with tetras. I have a couple of 3feet high cement pots in the garden with water lilies in which I could put the angels and gold fish in case they became big for the tank or start giving trouble. Maybe the reason the goldfish hasnt grown or the fishes are not fighting/eating each other is because of the near depressing lack of plants and lighting conditions. Maybe I should keep it that way
Any other ideas for fish I could put with tetras? (mollies and guppies?) Oh, I was also thinking of adding one betta (siamese fighter fish) to the tank.
Diana -- I will scrap the shrimp idea then. I did think about painting the underside of the hood white, but then i thought that the aluminum foil would be better. I will paint it white. It can be done cheaply, will last longer and wont electrocute me
"Run the up-tubes to the back corners under the plant substrate, then up." I didnt understand this part. Could explain this to me a bit more please. Also, i dont know what up-tubes are.
Will covering the plant soil/substrate with gravel prevent the water from getting cloudy.
lochaber -- I read somewhere that undergravel filters are good because they help in breaking down the harmful chemicals in the water because they feed the bacteria in the gravel/substrate. If sponge filters would do a good job with a full plant substrate bottom, i wouldnt mind spending some cash on that.
I would like to try some/partial plant substrate bottom so that the plants are more free to grow. If this doesnt work, I could fall back to just potting rows of pots with plants in them. I think i would have to re-pot every couple of months to replenish the soil nutrients.
LED lights should be in the daylight spectrum, right?
Thanks again everyone for taking the time out to answer my queries. I appreciate it.
I am planning on going to a fish farm in a couple of days. I am forming a shopping list in my head. (Item #1. All kinds of tetras available ). Your suggestions would be welcome.
I don't much care for undergravel filters, but if all you have is an air pump, it's pretty much either that or a sponge filter. (I'd recommend the sponge filter)
As to the undergravel filter, you really can't use anything but gravel/coarse sand. Anything finer will form a nearly impermeable layer, preventing water from flowing through (and rendering the UGF useless in the process)
If you are set on using a UGF, you might want to look at one of the calcined-clay type substrates (ones like flourite) since they are gravel-like in grain size. If you want something cheap, some sort of kitty-litter, or oil absorbent. I don't know what you have available over there, you may have to test a bit to find something that works well.
Another method that can work with a gravel substrate is to get some of those pots made of compressed peat fibers (see pic). put a mix of soil/sand/clay/whatever in the pot, plant the plant rootball in the pot, and then bury the whole thing in the gravel. It will provide a pocket of high nutrient, high CEC substrate right near the plants roots, but keep it contained so it doesn't muck up the tank, and you can still use an UGF.
As to the light, the cheapest/easiest would probably be to just install a couple incandescent sockets, and then put in some daylight spectrum compact flourescents.
Shrimp can help a lot, but would get eaten by most of the fish you list.
Shrimp are best in a tank with small fish. The smallest of Tetras such as Embers, Dwarf Rasboras, Rainbows like Threadfins and so on. These are really better fish for that tank size, too. I sure would not put Goldfish in a 30 gallon except for a month or so while they are in quarantine. They can grow over a foot (30 cm) long in 2-3 years, 6" (15 cm) the first year. Angelfish are OK in 30 gallons, but when they pair up to breed that small a tank becomes all their territory, and they are likely to chase away or kill all the other fish in the tank. Angels can be predatory, too, eating fish like small tetras (Neon Tetras and smaller). You would end up with just 2 fish in the tank: The mated pair of Angels. And no shrimp.
I understand being on a budget, so if aluminum foil is the best you can do, it is better than some materials, but if you can paint the inside of the hood with a flat white paint that is one of the better reflectors. A clean, smooth paint job, perhaps a couple of coats, sanded between coats would be much better. Aluminum foil tends to go on with wrinkles, and is really not as good a reflector as you might think. There is the added problem that it can carry electricity. If there is any flaw in the wiring you could get shocked.
If the coral sand is going to stay, then I would look into fish that prefer somewhat harder water. Small fish that are compatible with shrimp: Asian Rummynose, Sawbwa resplendens is a good choice. The smaller live bearers like Guppies are usually shrimp-safe, too.
Undergravel filter:
I do not see that it will be very effective when you put the denser material over the coral sand. The whole point of a UGF is that the water flows freely through it.
I have seen a way that this could work:
Section off the floor of the tank so that the front 1/4 is separate from the rest of the tank.
Put the UGF system here. Plates, coral sand or gravel. The rest of the tank has plant substrate.
Run the up-tubes to the back corners under the plant substrate, then up. The air bubbler would go in these the same as you have them now.
Maintenance is easy, since the only part that needs a deep vacuum is right in the front.
Hello I am worried about your coral sand. You do not need a lot to have an important modification of your water parameters, you would be better without it.
What is the purpose of using the coral sand anyway, it makes no sense to me.
Angelfish, tetras, like soft water. Goldfishes are for external basin, they have no place with angelfishes and tetras, they will likely stress the angels, and when they get big (a goldfish can really grow big 1 even 2 feet), they could eat the tetras.
Thank you.
To prevent the garden soil from falling beneath the undergravel filter, I am thinking of putting a layer of coral sand beneath the soil and above the undergravel filter.
In my current setup, the coral sand is over the filter and it doesnt fall through it.
I am also thinking of getting some tiny shrimps to help clean up the algae that will form with bright lighting. Are shrimps a good idea for this tank setup?
Smaller grain material like sand and soil, will end up underneath plate for under gravel filter.
Were it me,,I would either use all fine gravel,or go without the undergravel filter.
Goldfish would welcome the hard water that coral sand produces, But Angelfish and tetra's prefer softer to neutral hardness pH.
30 gal is in my view a bit small for Angelfish except when juvenile and also small for goldfisn depending on type.Some get quite large.
Substrate and lighting idea
Hello everyone,
I am from India and I am planning on doing some upgrades to my aquarium. I am cash strapped, so the work i will do will be DIY.
I have been maintaining a 30 gallon freshwater tank for than many years now. When i got it, i got a huge load of coral sand with it. However, I havent had issues with the sand as the fishes are fine with it. I used an undergravel filter. However, the best we can get here is dropping an airstone into the tube. I had plants that gew well in pots. I used to have it in the porch where there was plenty of sunlight. The major disadvantage of keeping it outside was the algae. After 3 weeks or so everything including the coral sand was covered in algae.
Recently I moved it indoors and I made my own hood for the tank (quite proud of that ). I installed a 20w fluorescent light. I put plants in pots. Most of them die quickly, excepting the cabomba which hasnt died, but hasnt grown much either. I tried stimulating their growth by adding co2 tablets, but they havent helped much. My tank is quite bare at the moment. I am planning on some changes over the next couple of days.
I am thinking of making a good environment for plants and hence for fishes by focusing on two areas.
My tank is 45cms high. I read in a book that for such depths the 20w is inadequate. I am thinking of adding a 25watt equivalent LED bulb. This wont increase my energy consumption by much. I am also thinking of sticking aluminum foil on the underside of the hood and the backside glass to increase the light into the tank. Is this a good idea.
I am thinking of this combination for the floor bed of the tank.
Top -> Down:
Garden soil + Manure
Coral sand
Undergravel filter
Anything glaringly wrong with this?
I know the coral sand will increase the hardness of the water but i think it should be ok for the tetras, angels and gold fish i have in mind.
Thank you.

Most of the inbound asphalt arrives by rail and is off loaded at a 24-car siding. It takes about a day to unload 24 tankcars.
In-bound tank truck shipments are offloaded at a station on the east side of the terminal.
A well-equipped laboratory is available on site to sample and test asphalt in various blends and formulations.
AOS provides all workers with detection units to check for the presence of hydrogen sulfide in work areas.
Agitators in each storage tank help ensure consistent temperature throughout the asphalt.
A 250-hp Superior boiler provides steam to ensure efficient railcar unloading.
Asphalt Operating Services LLC, Bartlett IL, has developed into a premier asphalt terminal operation. Notably, AOS was the second winner of the International Liquid Terminals Associations' Platinum Safety Award in the small terminal category. AOS currently has 25 million gallons of storage, and there is enough space available to double capacity to meet future demand. A dedicated BP Americas terminal, the facility serves the road construction industry in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Wisconsin.
Pictured are two of four tank truck loading bays at the AOS terminal. Loading is done on Mettler-Toledo digital scales that help serve as overfill protection by shutting off product flow if vehicle gross weight reaches 80,000 pounds. Computerized blending controls make it possible to send customers very precise asphalt blends.
A career veteran of the asphalt terminaling sector with nearly 15 years in terminal management, Joe Shotwell directs operations at the Asphalt Operating Services terminal.
Truck drivers employed by the carriers that haul outbound shipments load their own vehicles, but AOS personnel are available to help as needed. Loading arms are from OPW Engineered Systems.

The Web Week in Review - Yahoo Edition
There was enough Yahoo news this week to devote this week's The Web Week in Review to the besieged internet company.
The Web Week in Review
From a court ruling in the Viacom/YouTube lawsuit to reports that Microsoft is still eyeing Yahoo, Drama 2.0 found no shortage of drama in the news to attract his interest this week.
Move over Dow Jones, Henry Blodget introduces the SAI25
You have to hand it to Henry Blodget. The infamous securities analyst who arguably promulgated more hype in Bubble 1.0 than anybody else on Wall Street seems to have a knack for bubbles.
His blog, Silicon Alley Insider, or SAI, is an increasingly influential force in the tech blogosphere and has given Blodget the ability to establish a front row seat for Bubble 2.0.
Decision time for Yahoo
Disappointing results, job cuts, the loss of its former CEO and a takeover approach from arch-rival Microsoft.
We take a look at a tumultous past couple of weeks for Yahoo.
Facebook's leaked financials reveal leaky business
Kara Swisher reported last Thursday that Facebook spilled the beans on its finances during an all-hands company meeting.
While it is very possible that this was some sort of intentional leak, it's still interesting because it gives an insight into a company that has been given a $15bn valuation by investors such as Microsoft and Li Ka-shing.
Paradise or Bust – the pros and cons of community
The concept of Tribewanted.com is to develop a community existing both on an island in Fiji and online.
The project's success is due entirely to promotion via social networking, but this could also be its biggest risk of failure.
How to measure online branding campaigns
In an industry so accountable and measurable, it seems that some are using the excuse of delivering "brand awareness" to avoid the need to prove results.
Now P&G, one of the world's largest advertisers, has spoken out for the need for change in the internet marketing industry.
When public 'relations' become very public
2007 is coming to an end and UK PR agency, the Red Consultancy, might have just given us another 'Claire Swires' , or are they just generating a spot of seasonal publicity?
Thoughts from our social media session
So much was covered that it would take a week to explore all the issues raised, but I thought I'd just note some of the key thoughts from the event...
MySpace founder 'fibbed about age'
Tom Anderson, the co-founder and public face of MySpace, has been rumbled for lying about his age in his profile – he's apparently four years older than he claims.
But besides showing how far he was prepared to go to appear in touch with MySpace's yoof audience, and being pretty embarrassing, is this a big deal?
Firms found editing their Wikipedia entries
A number of well known companies and political partites have been accused of altering their entries on Wikipedia, in order to cover up previous misdeeds, or to make their rivals' entries less appealing.
A new tool developed by the California Institute of Technology can find out about the editors of Wikipedia entries by comparing the net addresses of editors on Wikipedia to a known database of IP addresses.
UK firms blocking access to Facebook
More than 70% of UK businesses are preventing their employees from accessing Facebook while at work, according to a survey.
Many are also reportedly warning their staff that use of the social network at work constitutes a sackable offence - City firms Credit Suisse and Dresdner Kleinwort have both banned use of the site.

A shprengel sandwiched in between a hot ember and a bun from McDonalds. The buns almost always have sesame seeds dipped in guacamole. They are attached to the bun by high pressure pneumatic seals. The shprengel contained inside has to be wearing a grey wife beater, with a weird bra underneath. It may also be optionally wearing black and purple etnies shoes. Almost always, this "caca burger" is accompanied by a "peepee burger" of similar or greater size. Upon digesting a caca burger, seek immediate medical help, or else dire consequences will follow.. such as vomiting, anorexia, fear of men in speedos, and chronic death.
"Did you hear what happened to her last summer, she ate one of those caca burgers, and almost died,"

Yantshev, Theodore
A native of Sofia, Bulgaria, Theodore Konstantin Yantshev found himself in danger in the years immediately after the Second World War when his anti-Communist activities became known to the new Communist regime. With the assistance of an American naval officer, Yantshev escaped to the United States as a stowaway aboard the American ship S.S. Juliet Victory in the spring of 1946. In July of 1947, however, Yantshev's presence came to the attention of United States immigration authorities and a warrant for his deportation back to Bulgaria was issued against him.
This small collection consists chiefly of correspondence documenting Yantshev's struggle to gain permanent residency and then citizenship in the United States.

Talesweaver & Ragnarok Online. It's all about the nostalgia.
i tend to only play pvp games mainly.
Champions of Regnum - really casual straightforward open pvp RvR games. strong combat balance, keen yet casual devs, and a really straightforward community. Way cheaper than official DAOC. there really isn't a better f2p alternative for me.
Smite - really enjoying this one right now. I tried dota and it was just too slow (click to moe... duh..) Smite is full WASD third person pvp in daoc style. It's pretty intense. I wish the camera was higher up closer to Regnum's style, but oh well. Also the voicesets r pretty hilarious and wow... that Freya Northern Lights costume is really great.

Be warned - I am a major player of Regnum Online the mmo. I've been playing it for about 2 years and rarely go without logging in at least once a day. You can also look at good alternatives to Regnum such ase Aion online and Aika Online.
1 Cabal online fast paced action with amazing looking skills
2 RF online my first sci fi mmorpg it was just epic
3 Dekaron just pure action and alot of pk :P
4 SWTOR amazing story lines with very good voice actors
5 Star trek online Becouse i love sci fi and the ship battles are cool
6 GW2 very good combat system and a new way to lvl up not just to go to 1 NPC ore a orther
7 Vindictus for a old game it look amazing and a very good battle system just pure action
8 Tera online very good grapics nice classes and i love the none target battle system
9 Atlantica online very nice turn based system
10 endless online my very first mmorpg its very old but stil fun
*League of Legends - high playerbase and skillcap

*Entropia Universe - crafting tree, real money trading

*Guild Wars 2 - wonderful combat-system, high playerbase
War Thunder - friend plays it
*Games with an asterisk are ones where I try to supply *cough* "Gold".
Wurm Online - Best, most complete Sandbox-type MMORPG currently in existence, in my opinion.
Progress Quest - It's pretty interesting in a funny way, plus makes for a great comparison for shitting MMOs, "Why play this game where the game auto-runs you through every quest and requires you to click only at certain times, when you could just play Progress Quest?" for example.
Red Orchestra 2 - Really fun FPS set in the WWII era.
ArcheAge - Nice blend of sandbox and main-stream/Themepark features. Makes it easy for a lot of the masses to get into, plus it's developed by an "AAA" developer. This means it wont suffer from the low population of most other sandbox-type games have.
Those are my favorites at this very moment.
"....However, as with all things, you will encounter the odd retard and or ******."

Entropia Universe ofc, its the only game I play.
Started march of 08 and haven't missed more than a day or two at a time since.
(going on vacation tomorrow and there will be a 7 day period without Internet.... not sure how I will handle that)
I don't know why I like it so much,
Perhaps its because it is my first (game) love.
Perhaps it is because of all the friends I have there.
Perhaps it is because with all the different studios developing for it I know that there will always be things for me to learn and explore.(5+yrs 5+hrs a day and still lots I don't know)
Perhaps it is the economy and knowing that what I do there has real life effects.
Perhaps it is because I am a closet gambler.
Perhaps it is the maturity of the player-base.
One thing I do know is that I love the feeling of doing well in an environment that is so difficult and competitive, knowing that my hard work, research, and intelligence makes me better than the person who failed under the same set of circumstances.
I don't know what the full formula is that draws me to it, but I love it with a passion, and enjoy it immensely.
Play hard. Play smart. Win.
Work hard. Live smart. Prosper.
#1 - Ragnarok Online - One of the first online games I've played, loved everything about it.
#2 - Trickster Online - I had this weird foreign(mostly korean) F2P phase where I would try out a bunch of old/new games. Trickster felt great, played great, reminded me alot of RO. I was excited to find out it was coming out in English, which changed it a lot but was still great.

ACE is the Toronto Blue Jays official mascot and loves spending his time meeting fans!
Toronto Blue Jays fans will be given the chance to determine the starting lineups for Major League Baseball's 83rd All-Star Game through in-stadium voting at Rogers Centre beginning in May and Internet balloting on bluejays.com. This year's edition of the Midsummer Classic will be held at Citi Field in Queens, New York on July 16, 2013.
Working to grow the game of baseball across Canada, the Toronto Blue Jays invest a significant amount of time reaching out to youth and facilitating their development at all levels, from grassroots to elite. Our efforts to generate both an increase in interest and participation throughout 2012 include three major amateur baseball initiatives.
The Blue Jays are extremely proud to display the names of nine distinguished individuals inside Rogers Centre in special recognition of their tremendous efforts and achievements. They are Paul Beeston, Roberto Alomar, Dave Stieb, George Bell, Cito Gaston, Joe Carter, Tony Fernandez, Pat Gillick and Tom Cheek. The number 4,306 beside Cheek's name represents the number of consecutive regular season games he called on the radio. Jackie Robinson, whose number has been retired by all teams in Major League Baseball, is also recognized behind home plate.
A wide selection of Toronto Blue Jays official merchandise is available at Jays Shop Stadium Edition, Jays Shop Yonge & Dundas and over 15 concourse shops throughout Rogers Centre.
They are located near the following sections:
Please note that locations of our concourse kiosks are subject to change.
Despite the grind of a 162-game schedule, the Toronto Blue Jays players and coaches make many appearances throughout the GTA during the baseball season. Our team is often out in the community helping raise awareness and funds for worthy causes and charitable organizations as well as to lend a helping hand and smile to those less fortunate.
The Blue Jays assist hundreds of charities each year and are committed to enhancing the quality of life for many individuals. Every year the Blue Jays donate autographed baseballs, bats, jerseys, tickets and other items to non-profit organizations to assist in their fundraising efforts.
All full-time, part-time or seasonal opportunities within the Blue Jays organization are posted on our Job Opportunities page.
The Toronto Blue Jays welcome all fan mail, and players and club personnel will make every effort to answer each letter received. However, due to the tremendous volume of items received, we cannot guarantee a response. Fans wishing to communicate with Toronto Blue Jays players or club personnel should address the correspondence along with a self-addressed stamped envelope to:
Please keep in mind that if you do send in an item (e.g., apparel, baseballs, baseball cards) to be signed, there is some risk involved. Though reasonable precautions will be taken, the Toronto Blue Jays players, management and staff are not responsible should the items fail to be returned.
The Toronto Blue Jays Gift Card is a pre-paid debit card that works like a gift certificate and can be used to purchase Toronto Blue Jays regular season home game tickets at Rogers Centre at the Gate 9 Box Office, select Ontario Rogers Plus stores and at the Jays Shop Sears Yonge & Dundas location. The Toronto Blue Jays Gift Card may also be used to purchase Toronto Blue Jays and other merchandise at The Jays Shop Stadium Edition @ Gate 5 or section 112 during games, the Jays Shop @ Gate 2 Rogers Centre or at Sears Yonge & Dundas location). Any Toronto Blue Jays or Rogers gift card can be used for food and beverage purchases at select concession stands in the public concourses of Rogers Centre. For further clarity, Toronto Blue Jays and Rogers Gift Cards are not accepted at other Rogers Centre restaurants (i.e. Arriba, Sightlines, Windows, HSBC Club VIP), the Olde Spadina concession stand, luxury suites or at mobile vendors/hawkers.
The Toronto Blue Jays offer several giveaway or promotional items throughout the year. These items are distributed to guests who meet specific promotional requirements and are based on limited quantities. Items are subject to change.
On July 24, 2011, second baseman Roberto Alomar was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, becoming the first-ever Toronto Blue Jays player to be honoured in Cooperstown, New York. The 12-time All-Star played five seasons in Toronto, winning two World Series Championships in 1992 and 1993. His .307 career average as a Blue Jay is the highest mark in club history (minimum 2000 plate appearances). He also ranks 2nd in stolen bases (206) and 5th on the Blue Jays all-time list in triples (36). The 1992 American League Championship Series Most Valuable Player batted .373 in 29 postseason games as a Blue Jay, with eight extra base hits and 18 RBI. His 9th inning home run against Dennis Eckersley in Game Four of the 1992 ALCS remains one of the greatest moments in club history. His 10 Gold Gloves are the most for any second baseman in Major League history and four Silver Slugger awards are second to only Ryne Sandberg on the all-time list. In conjunction with his induction to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, the Toronto Blue Jays retired Alomar's No. 12 on July 31, 2011 in a pre-game ceremony at Rogers Centre. The only other retired number the club currently observes is Jackie Robinson's No. 42, which was retired throughout Major League Baseball in 1997.
Prior to, during and following the game experience, including during all batting practices, fielding practices and warm-ups, items such as baseballs, bats and fragments thereof may be thrown or hit into the stands. For everyone's safety, please stay alert and be aware of your surroundings. Any guest who is concerned with his or her seat location should contact any game or event staff for an alternate seat location. The holder of a ticket to any Toronto Blue Jays game voluntarily assumes all risks of any injury or other loss incidental to the sport of baseball, all associated activities and/or his/her attendance at the stadium (including, without limitation, injury suffered from bats, balls or other objects projected into or within the stands), and hereby releases Rogers Blue Jays Baseball Partnership, Rogers Stadium Limited Partnership, Major League Baseball, the Commissioner, the opposing club and their respective corporate affiliates, agents and employees (including players) from any and all liability, regardless of whether such injury or loss occurs before, during or after the actual playing of the game and whether such injury or loss is caused by any person's negligence or otherwise.
Since 1992, Jays Care Foundation has been providing opportunities to children and youth through access to programs that foster regular physical activity, inspire engagement through the sport of baseball, encourage educational pursuits, and impart important life-skills.
In keeping with the title of "Canada's Team", in 2011, Jays Care Foundation expanded the reach of the Toronto Blue Jays community investment across Canada through the club's Amateur Baseball program and community outreach initiatives in partnership with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Canada.

Boys and girls participate together, with winners advancing from local competitions to sectional competitions to individual team championships and finally the national finals at the MLB All-Star Game. This competition is free for all youngsters. Questions regarding Pitch, Hit & Run can be e-mailed to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Promoting a Lifetime of Activity for Youth (PLAY) is a public awareness campaign of the Professional Baseball Athletic Trainers Society (PBATS) in conjunction with the Taylor Hooton Foundation and Major League Baseball Charities. Organized and executed to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), the Toronto Blue Jays invite participants to learn MLB drills and activities on-field at Rogers Centre with both Blue Jays training staff and players.

Blue Jays Social Media Clubhouse
Issued to scouts, journalists and broadcasters – and also made available to fans in bookstores – the Official Media Guide offers career records, biographical notes and season-by-season records for both current and new Toronto Blue Jays players. For fans interested in the history of the organization, it also includes a complete listing of all-time Blue Jays statistics and records through the previous season, as well as Minor League stats for all Blue Jays prospects.
Guests can take a behind-the-scenes ballpark tour of Rogers Centre, one of Toronto's most popular tourist attractions. Tours operate daily (stadium schedule permitting).
In 2005, the Toronto Blue Jays installed state of the art LED video display boards by Daktronics. The main screen in centre field measures 110 feet across and 33 feet high. Two large screens, used largely for out-of-town scores, have been built into the outfield wall, each measuring 65 feet across and 10 feet high. Two more video screens stretch outwards on the concrete facing the 300-Level, reaching from the main screen in centre field down the first and third base lines. The screens can carry fully integrated video or messages, or work independently.

Neil Wagner has won the bowl-off with Mark Gillespie and been added to the New Zealand cricket side for this week's first test against England in Dunedin.
Coach Mike Hesson ran his eye over the two contenders during the New Zealand XI's four-day match against England in Queenstown and opted for Wagner.
The 26-year-old, who was part of the test squad who travelled to South Africa recently, took 4-98 in England first innings of 426 and followed it up with 2-56 in the second innings. Gillespie snared five wickets in the match.
Hamish Rutherford, who played in both the Twenty20 and one-day internationals against England, has the inside running to grab the second opening position over Tom Latham after a decent double of 90 and 33 against England in Queenstown. Latham scored 16 and 48 in his two turns at bat.
Peter Fulton is likely to be the other opener.
The first test of the ANZ series starts in Dunedin on Wednesday.
New Zealand test squad: Brendon McCullum (c - Otago), Trent Boult (Northern Districts), Doug Bracewell (Central Districts), Dean Brownlie (Canterbury), Peter Fulton (Canterbury), Tom Latham (Canterbury), Bruce Martin (Auckland), Hamish Rutherford (Otago), Tim Southee (Northern Districts), Ross Taylor (Central Districts), Neil Wagner (Otago), BJ Watling (Northern Districts), Kane Williamson (Northern Districts).

DeMint portrayed as assassin in political cartoon
posted at 6:39 pm on July 25, 2009 by Pundette
*Scroll down for update.
The Washington Post featured this in today's paper as one of the better cartoons of the week:
Is it okay to portray Sen. Jim DeMint (or anyone else) as a sniper? And what, or whom, is he aiming at?
Supposedly the target is "healthcare," but the cartoon obviously refers to DeMint's remark about breaking Obama. It's not much of a jump to believe that the cartoonist intends us to imagine that DeMint's target is Obama.
Maybe I'm being touchy. It's just a cartoon and it's supposed to be edgy. But most Americans are quite sensitive to suggestions of presidential (or other) assassination, and particularly so when it involves a sniper taking aim from a tall building.
The Post showed terrible judgment when they chose to run this.

The assonant, guttural names of old Welsh and Scottish villages — Aberarder, Aberayron, Llangranog, Llangurig, Abergorlech — return often to the mouths of the characters in Brian Friel's Faith Healer. The words are spoken in ritual fashion, serving now as incantation, now as balm or stimulant, now as a poison to be taken or purged. Frank Hardy (Tony Reilly), faith healer, chants them in the dark like a shaman or sorcerer as he opens Friel's richly written drama, in an excellent and affecting production by the American Irish Repertory Ensemble, under the direction of Daniel Burson.
In speaking these town names, Frank, his romantic partner Grace (Susan Reilly), and his manager Teddy (Will Rhys) conjure memories of the ramshackle traveling faith-healer show that the three once brought to ill and disfigured audiences all over Wales, Scotland, and finally, fatefully, Ireland. But they don't share their memories; indeed, their accounts are often at odds, from the question of who chose the act's theme song (Fred Astaire crooning "The Way You Look Tonight" — so surreally inappropriate that it's rather perfect) to whether or not Grace could and did bear Frank a child. Instead, we hear from each character alone, in monologue, removed in time and space from each other and from the events themselves. They talk haltingly toward a tragedy that occurred in one Irish village, and as their stories contradict each other, align briefly and breathtakingly, and then diverge again, Friel's script explores these characters, their relationships, and how memory — itself a sort of faith healing — is intimately dependent upon belief.
On a set that's bare but for a dozen sad wooden folding chairs and the act's poster — The Fantastic Francis Hardy, Faith Healer, One Night Only — Mr. Reilly conveys both the sheer will and the wary, almost superstitious sensitivity of this arrogant man with the strange sometime gift. "I'd get so tense before a — performance," he tells us, tweaking his tone just enough to suggest the ambivalence of his act — part miracle, part con. Mr. Reilly is especially compelling when Frank, pacing and weaving amid the empty chairs, describes those people who come to see him. "They were a disturbed people," he muses, before his tone plummets, darkens: "And they hated me." His charisma and arrogance have force enough to submerge his own disturbances; we see barely a glimmer of what the faith healer might himself have forgotten or misremembered out of grief.
The trauma of Grace, on the other hand, is barely contained. Fitfully smoking, sipping whiskey from a teacup, Mrs. Reilly's stricken Grace is subsumed in a red-eyed, nervous anguish. Her agony comes on strong, but Reilly also moves gracefully through a range of emotional responses: Wistfulness about the "privacy" of Frank's gift; rage at her exclusion from it; abject sensuality in remembering how he took the stage when he was "on;" and helpless despair as she clutches at memories for which there remains no record.

Fend on your own
Book by: tigerscurse
Status: Finished
Genre: Other
Chapter1 (v.1) - Fend on your own
Chapter 1
The flood
Ivys dreams were filled of darknes and mist. Occansionlly a glint showed and a bloodthirsty scream rang. Her head was filled withwails and screams, like a battle never fought. She turned and twitched and yowled in her sleep. She opened her eyes and saw her brother, Rain, sitting up and washing his speckled gray fur. Her other sister, a silver she-cat named Stream was also up and washing. Ivy sat up and started to groom her own sleek black fur. Her mother, a sleek silver tabby, strutted into the den. "Rain, Stream, Ivy," she meowed. "Your father has wishes for us to leave."
Ivy shuddered at those words as if there was more meaning to them than her Mom was letting on. Rain raised his head and stared at his mom. "But why Ma?" he cried, for he loved his home. His mom glanced at him, her eyes burning into his pelt. Ivy and Stream shrank away. "Because me and your father said so!" she snarled. Rain looked in disbelief at his paws. Her eyes softened as she quickly left the den. Stream raced to Rains side and looked in his eyes. They were full of sadness. They comforted Rain and exited the den. A powerful black tom with amber eyes was talking to their mom. They hid in the shadows and pricked their ears so they could hear. "... can't let them know," their mom was saying. "I know River," the tom murmured, laying his tail on her shoulders. "Thanks Night," River meowed. The kids came out of the shadows and casually pretended they were coming out of their den. Night and River were startled. Ivy and Stream pelted over next to their parents. "Are we going?" Stream said. "Yes," Night said. They stood up when the sound of ruhing water stopped them. Rain raced to them as water spilled to them. The family pelted through the forest. The water splashed at their heels and soon they stopped at the edge of a cliff. Stream was a few paces behind and as the family reached the edge the water covered her.
Ivy shrieked. She started to run toward the water but Nights teeth gripped her scruff. "Stop," he growled. "We have time," River said, though she sounded like she hoped it. But as the water propelled them off the cliff, Ivy knew there was no time.

Inaugural scholarships honoring former Wayne Law Dean of Students Michele Miller awarded by The 313 Project
August 28, 2012
Michele Miller, Wayne Law's beloved dean of students who died Aug. 27, 2011, would no doubt be pleased with the first recipients of a scholarship created in her honor by The 313 Project.
Miller devoted her life to learning, mentorship and education. She graduated from a Detroit high school and worked as a teacher in Highland Park before she attended Wayne Law, where she returned to serve as Dean of Students for almost 25 years.
The 313 Project — a nonprofit organization that started as a student coalition at Wayne Law — states its mission as an effort to "connect the legal community to Detroit's underserved areas through pro bono, education and charitable effort."
The Dean Michele R. Miller Memorial Scholarship was begun by The 313 Project to help graduating Detroit high school students as well as to serve as a tribute to Miller, who was "a light and inspiration to thousands of students and colleagues," said Wayne Law alumna Aisa Villarosa Berg, director and one of the founders of The 313 Project.
Miller also surely would be pleased that Tanneh Nagbe, one of the first two recipients of the $1,000 scholarship that bears her name, has chosen Wayne State University to continue her education and has chosen teaching as a career path. Nagbe is a 2012 graduate of Western International High School, and plans to become an elementary school teacher.
She wants to focus on special education, drawing inspiration from her own favorite teacher.
"A teacher named Ms. Dee saw my potential, and with her help, I was removed from special education class by the end of my seventh-grade year," Nagbe said. "With this experience, I know I can relate more with students in this situation and encourage them to be great in spite of all odds."
She has worked as a volunteer to beautify Clark Park in Detroit, tutored youths through Latino Family Services and packaged food for underserved communities. She also recently earned a scholarship from the Optimist Youth Foundation of Detroit.
The other scholarship recipient is Juan Sancen, a 2012 graduate of Cesar Chavez Academy, who plans to study science at Saginaw Valley State University. Three finalists who were awarded $250 Barnes & Noble gift cards from The 313 Project are Cass Technical High School graduate Malik Harris, Southwestern High School graduate Chelsea Ann Pierce and Universal Academy graduate Hanan Yahya.
Winners were selected based on academic excellence, service and commitment to Detroit and passion for public interest and/or social justice.
For more details on the scholarship and how to donate for next year's recipients, email to firstname.lastname@example.com or call 248-752-7085.

"La música es el arte más directo, entra por el oído y va al corazón." – Magdalena Martínez
I can't remember a time in my life when music wasn't important to me. I've never been musically talented – I can't sing (although that doesn't stop me), and I've failed at every instrument I've attempted (guitar, drums, piano, flute … although I do pretty good with maracas.) Despite my own ineptitude to create music, I am content to listen to it and at times, it's something I need in a most primal way.
Now, as much as I love music, I'm really not the type to get excited about the technical aspect of music listening. I know some people who can talk on and on about the value of one set of headphones over another – Honestly, I'm usually just thrilled if I can find ear buds that don't fall out of my ears every ten seconds. That being said, I was given the opportunity to review headphones from a company called SOL REPUBLIC and I was intrigued by the name, (can't resist Spanish!), the flashy design and the endorsement of their products by DJs, (which in this case, I think is more important than a random celebrity endorsement since DJs are the experts here.)
I chose the "Tracks Ultra On-Ear Headphones" because they're beautiful, quite honestly. Those cushy over-ear speaker pads made me nostalgic for the big headphones I used to listen to at my grandmother's house when I was a little girl, or the headphones with the curly wire I'd wrap around my finger while at the "listening station" in elementary school.
When I received the headphones and opened them, I really couldn't believe how awesome they were. Sometimes you see a photo and then you see it in real life, and the real life version pales in comparison – not the case here! The real test came when I plugged them in. (Note: At first I thought they weren't working but I discovered that I simply hadn't pushed the jacks in all the way. Make sure the jacks snap in securely on both sides.) I fired up Pandora and the sound quality was absolutely undeniable. I tried different genres to see what their range was and everything sounded amazing.
I listened to La Guanaquita by Los Hermanos Flores and I could hear every individual instrument clear and unmuddled.
I listened to Pitbull's Bojangles Remix – the bass was amazing.
I listed to Niña Bien by Espinoza Paz and the voice clarity made it seem like Espinoza was singing it right into my ear.
I listened to Qué Bonita Bailas by Nortec Collective and loved the depth of the different instruments layered one on top of the other.
The Tracks Ultra On-Ear Headphones from SOL REPUBLIC are simply headphones for music lovers which will make you fall in love with music all over again.
Now, my favorite part of doing this review is that I get to bring a little early Navidad spirit to one of you. SOL REPUBLIC is generously allowing me to give away one pair of the Tracks Ultra On-Ear Headphones here on Latinaish! Here's how to enter!
