text: I was at autozone picking up some parts for a durango that I was working on and saw this http://3mauto.com/products/paint-defender Has anyone tried it? It seems interesting. The display shows a car key pushed into a plastic film that was not tearing. The film looks to be pretty thick. It is claims to be completely removable and lasts one year. I was just curious if anyone had tried it out. At $24 a can it would be pretty pricey to spray my entire yukon xl. I would consider doing my doors and hood in the stuff if it works. It seems like I always have some moron parking close to me and hitting my truck with their door. While I understand that it would not stop dents, it may prevent the scratches and scuffs from morons.

LONDON -- Safety Donte Whitner says the "small sprain" to his knee won't keep him out of the 49ers' game Sunday. But he also won't be 100 percent.
Whitner didn't have to risk re-injuring it on a muddy practice field Friday, at least. The 49ers moved their practice site from The Grove in the Hertfordshire countryside to Allianz Park, an artificial-turf field that's home to Saracens Rugby Club.
Whitner and the 49ers (5-2) are prepared, however, for encountering a potential slippery surface at Wembley Stadium, where they'll face the winless Jacksonville Jaguars (0-7).
"We'll deal with it and use longer cleats," Whitner said. "A lot of times on surfaces that are wet, you shorten your steps, try not to overstride and slip.
"In that situation, the offense has an advantage on us because they know their moves and their routes, and we have to react."
Whitner is all for the long-shot possibility of the NFL planting a team in London, although he said "a lot of guys" feel otherwise.
"I love London. This is my eighth time here," Whitner said. "I'd definitely be one of those to sign up for that team. It'd be cool. It's not that much different from playing all the way in San Francisco and having an East Coast game."
Wait, eight trips to London? Why?
"Just the culture. To be outside the country. All the restaurants, the nightlife, the way people speak. I learned new words this week, like what 'fancy' means."
Harbaugh scripted a list of six landmarks he was heading to see. He specifically hoped to descend into Winston Churchill's war rooms, stating: "That would be one of the highlights of my life."

The students at both CEM Lamine Senghor (Secondary School) and the Lycee (sixth form) decided they probably should start turning up to their classes and gradually lessons began. I am now the proud teacher of 3 classes at the CEM, one year 7 (beginners') English, one year 9 English and one year 9 (beginners') German. The lessons have been going swimmingly; my English beginners can chant the alphabet, tell you all about themselves and even sing the days of the week to the tune of the Eastenders' themetune
Classes last for two hours so are quite tiring, especially because a lack of resources means 'you are your biggest resource'. I spend the time trying to be the most enthusiastic, I LOVE ENGLISH, English teacher that these kids have seen! The resources we do have: a piece of slate painted black, chalk and a piece of sponge. It has been a challenge learning to write on these boards! We do have textbooks but they are, in my opinion, flawed, so I've been avoiding them. One brilliant thing about both Lycee and CEM is the staff. The other teachers have been so welcoming and are so eager for us to get involved – they feel like family now!
As well as classes, Amee and I run an English club and an Art club at Aicha's (our host mum) primary school. Before our lessons began I assisted in one class there: one teacher, 200 students and all of them trying to learn how to write their ABCs. The students were crammed in 4 to a desk and it took half an hour just to take the register! Due to the incredible number of students, the teacher felt it necessary to use the cane – one of the hardest things to witness since I've been here and eye-opening of the Senegalese school system. On a lighter note, we are also running FAS JOM classes - education for girls who can't read, write or speak French. These are so rewarding, as you watch a girl's face light up when she has written a full line of 'A's or can successfully spell her own name. We are planning on running English and German clubs at the CEM and Lycee too, though I'm not entirely sure when they are going to fit in
Outside of the classroom, Amee and I have been attending church choir practice 3 nights a week where we have sung in French, Wolof, Spanish, Latin and Serer! We sing at Saturday evening services and this weekend past I sang and Amee accompanied the choir at the Tamharite festival (Islamic New Year). I really want to get involved with the drumming at the choir – watch this space! Boy have I missed playing! Church itself is brilliant. It is very different to Ashwood church, my church in Kirkby, very traditional and catholic, but I can't verbalise how lovely it to be in community with other Christians, to listen to the music and sermons (albeit in French & Wolof!) and feel a complete sense of peace and belonging. I've almost nailed the Lord's Prayer in French too! Religion is such a quintessential part of life here – everybody is religious, either Christian or Muslim, and this influences what you wear, what you eat, IF you eat, how many wives you have. I have already had some interesting discussions about Religion – chiefly with Muslim men, about polygamy, gay marriage and Jesus. One asked 'would you take one million dollars, or two?' i.e. comparing one wife to one million dollars!
Amee and I also braved the local basketball club last week
On a further note, it seems that I will be coming home a domestic goddess! I have learnt to wash my clothes Senegalese style, to wash the dishes Senegalese style, to mop the floor Senegalese style (try wiping the floor with a cloth, WITHOUT bending your knees) and my Senegalese dishes now include: chips and popcorn! I did cook with Aicha yesterday, lentils and beef (made a nice different to fish, rice and leftover Tabaski ram!) and Amee and I nailed cake for Marieme's birthday! We have been told that Sunday night is our cooking night – last week was a brilliant success (despite a malfunctioning oven) with the family gobbling up baguette pizza and my speciality, potato wedges!
Despite what I hear about the weather in the UK, I am going to take a moment to moan about how it's getting cold here! Every morning I have to mentally prepare myself for my cold bucket shower and I have even braved my jeans a few times! Our fan stopped working in October so it's probably a good job it's colder – otherwise the nights would be unbearable. One night was spent rather sleeplessly however due to a rogue cricket getting into our room. If you have trouble getting up in the morning, invest in a cricket – the best alarm clock in the world
Since taking my braids out, male attention has definitely increased. This isn't a statement that I would like to be making, because male attention consists of 'toubab, gazelle, are you married?' 'yes' 'well I love you and want to marry you' 'but I'm married' 'but I want to marry you' and so on. Sometimes I even get tested on my *husband's* name and where he is... Sometimes I think it would be easier to tell the truth! One guy was pestering me as I was walking home, I told him my name was Katti Wone and that I live in Caritas just to shut him up from asking then made my excuses and continued on my way! That night when I was out of the house, this same guy came to Caritas and walked through the whole estate asking where Katti Wone lived! I wasn't in so he left his phone number with Aicha, who found the whole situation absolutely hilarious… Fortunately he seems to have taken my silence as a hint and hasn't visited since!
Amee and I have been enjoying breaking free from the evening lesson planning to walk and buy HUGE watermelons from the HUGE watermelon mountains. Can you tell its watermelon season? Our freedom is often celebrated with Amee singing Oliver! to me and us refusing a second dinner from the watermelon seller. The guy used to sell us bad ones so now we get him to cut out a chunk and make sure it's good before we buy – so one night we were walking back with a huge watermelon, it's cut-out chunk safely returned to its chunk shaped hole
This past weekend we travelled to Dakar for an art exposition set up by the Peace Corps and stayed with Amar, Aicha's brother. We took our first Dakaroise bus – an hour long and a little scary but 2000CFA cheaper than a taxi! The girl collecting money had one office job and a half sat in her little metal cage! I thoroughly enjoyed some proper pizza at 'Sao Brasil' restaurant and (eek!) Ben & Jerry's Cookie Dough ice cream. The exposition itself was held at the 'International School of Dakar', where there was a pool and large sports field – a far cry from the deteriorating classrooms of the CEM Lamine Senghor! However we were warmly welcomed by the Peace Corps and stall holders alike and spent some down-time perusing the traditional Senegalese goods. All of the products were made locally and we enjoyed chatting to the vendors about how they had made it. There was beautifully crafted jewellery, batiks, wooden ornaments, funky materials and a range of jams. Something possessed me to buy a crazy hoody (see picture) which is already giving Amee a headache!
In Dakar I also managed to pick up an advent calendar – it was funny to see Christmas items on sale (in the Sea Plaza Supermarket) because in Joal there is no sign of Christmas at all! It's hard to imagine the hustle and bustle of the season at home, one that I love so much, because there are no sparkly lights, Christmas trees, carols, mince pies or tinsel! When we got home we were greeted with mounds of couscous for the Tamharite festival. We first ate couscous with meat and vegetables in sauce, then ate couscous with milk (tasted a bit like cereal!). After that I was dragged – literally! – by one of the neighbours outside. There, lots of the children from Caritas were… well, cross-dressed! The girls were dressed as Muslim men, complete with beard, boubou and hat! Some of the boys were wearing dresses, and all of the children were covered in white chalk. We went around singing, banging pots and dancing in the streets and in people's houses (to gain rice and money!) – Senegal's version of trick or treating! It was bizarre! The next day was the Tamharite church service, open air church where we sang and took communion together, as well as praying for the Christian organisations in the community of Joal. After the service we did some more crazy dancing, although I think my dancing was more flailing and failing!
We have a very full December planned, on top of lessons and clubs there's Amee's birthday, a trip to Saint Louis for the 'English Teachers of Senegal' conference, a trip to Dakar for the British Embassy's Carol Service (where Amee is accompanying!) and a wedding. We are then making the most of our Christmas holidays by spending some time in the Gambia with all the Senegal vols and then celebrating New Year at the Abene percussion festival with Amee's sister. Am I excited? YES!! Bring it on!
That's all for now, lessons to plan! Over & out xxxxxxx

I've posted a lot about the recent Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, might as well continue posting about lingerie. Besides, these are pictures of scantily-clad women. So there's no reason not to post these. Check out some low-profile models doing their best to imitate Adriana Lima and company. Not bad. If you want glamour, go for the Victoria's Secret Angels. But if you want in-your-face sexy bordering on the skanky and slutty, these girls would fit the bill perfectly.

If you're in a high wind area, the wood version wood be a better choice although mine have been very steady when it gets windy.
If you're in a high wind area, the wood version wood be a better choice although mine have been very steady when it gets windy.
My concern is not high wind but cyclic wind where the hives rock back and forth creating a bending moment at the tee fitting. Because of the sharp vee groove of the thread form on the end of the pipe the metal tends to crack and slowly propagate all the way through. Maybe it will happen or maybe it never will. But it would be something I would worry about. If the pipe was 3" in diameter I would have no concern but 1 in or even 1 1/2 I think is light.

I saw what I'm guessing is Charlie's stand on YouTube. I was not enamored of the T arrangement either, but overall liked the idea a lot. I'm in the process of setting one up. I've got four posts as well, but arranged to support four corners using U-shaped pipe assemblies (4 posts, 2 18" cross-pieces, 4 elbows). About the same amount of pipe but it should be sturdier from the bending standpoint.
My plastic cups are slightly different, made from 4" to 2" reducers and 2" to 1" bushings. The bushings need to be hogged out a little with a half-round rasp to fit the iron pipe. I split the plastic fittings so they can be put on the iron pipe and held on with hose clamps. That way the cups can be removed for cleaning and re-greasing.
Do you recall the SNL bit with the ... um ... retentive carpenter?
I have a pipe birdfeeder designed to discourage bears. It has suffered a lot of damage over the years, had pipe replaced with heavier, been extended, had pieces bent by falling limbs, etc. Consequently some of the joints have needed to come apart from time to time. The latest was last week to install a squirrel baffle. So I'm in the habit of using Teflon tape on threaded joints for this sort of tinkertoy project so the joints don't rust solid.
Not that it will help with these shapes imbedded in the ground. But maybe in 30 years I'll need to replace the legs.
I was told by an old timer to put ant traps between the inner & outer cover...again new..no experience. Has anyone tried this?
What about poison (dust style) near the hive? Bad idea I guess huh?
Haven't done it, but ants are taking up residence around my hives!
Question about this stand design.
What do you think it would do in my region? I'm in south Louisiana... It's always moist down here. Driving a pipe 2' in wouldn't be too hard.
You can sink the pipes into concrete the same as you would a fence post or you can build the wood version.
The grease trap is made from PVC so why not keep it all PVC? You can make up 4 legs out of 3 in PVC put an end cap on one end that goes in the ground and a floor flange on the other. Screw the floor flange to a 2x6 between two legs. The grease trap can be made from a 3 to 4 reducer. Carve out the 3 in end so it will pass through the 3 in pipe. Your stringers can be 4x4 or 2x6.
Brian Cardinal
Zone 5a, Practicing non-intervention beekeeping
I guess one reason I liked the pipe in the dirt method so much was that I could do the least amount of dirt prep work to get it level and do it while hives existed right along side of where I worked.
Yeah, the collar will keep the pipe from sinking in the ground if it is up tight to the floor flange.
Brian Cardinal
Zone 5a, Practicing non-intervention beekeeping
What sort of flange are we talking about, I thought those were threaded.
They are so you have to get the next size up so it will just slip over the pipe then use a set screw collar to adjust the height or you could drill and tap the flange to lock it to the shaft if you have a tap.
Brian Cardinal
Zone 5a, Practicing non-intervention beekeeping
Floor flanges and pipe are threaded to NPT specifications. Unlike machine screw threads, NPT threads are tapered so the only location that it is possible to thread with NPT threads is at the END of the pipe or fitting.
By the time you find a practical solution for these issues, the $3-$4 bag of concrete suggested by Charlie B above will look like a cheap solution!

Gilligan if Rader has confused you with his bits of wisdom or lack of, PM me I will get you through the simple process.
Brian Cardinal
Zone 5a, Practicing non-intervention beekeeping
Steel floor flanges, whether you attempt to "pin" them or not, are expensive.
If you use 1 1/2" pipe, flanges are about $13 each and even flanges for 1/2" pipe are nearly $10 each:
Even when you are done horsing around with getting a flange installed, the area of the dirt that the flange covers is clearly inferior to a bag of concrete!
If your pipe is at risk of sinking into the ground, why pay more money to buy a flange when a $3-$4 bag of concrete is a better solution?

Even Emerging Markets Plunge on Bogus AP Tweet
The S&P 500 fell about 1% after a bogus tweet about a bombing at the White House appeared on the Associated Press's hacked Twitter feed. But it wasn't just U.S. stocks that responded to the news. Some emerging markets did too, even if the moves weren't as severe.
Brazil's Bovespa, as this chart shows, clearly reacted to the tweet when it dropped 0.5% in just a few minutes. (The iShares MSCI Brazil Index ETF (EWZ) fell 0.6%.)
So did the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets (EEM) exchange-traded fund, which fell 0.7%.
The tweet was a hoax, but it doesn't mean we can't learn from it, says Societe Generale's Sebastien Galey. He writes:
This hack attack will prove a good test of the positioning of the markets. You now have the sensitivity of the markets to a large negative (fictitious) shock, from which to deduce the positioning of the market (USD was bid, SPX gapped 1% lower and VIX higher…)
Don't be too quick to criticize. It's one thing to fall for a fictitious press release on an obscure website touting the merger between two prominent internet companies.
It's another when it comes from the AP.

one more reason you couldnt give me a ford
not everyone is sick....
Can't advise you on this specific problem, but it seems like you've already been given some great info. Your party metaphor just reminded me of something one of my instructors told me when I was taking my auto tech classes years ago "being a mechanic is worse than being a doctor as far as friends always wanting you to help them with some problem or another because not everyone is sick, but everyone has a car"
The earlier (91 to 05) Triton engines had trouble pulling spark plug threads as well.
Dorman has come out with a repair kit of sorts for these, which uses that newer style extended tip plug in a different way.
Dorman #42025
Also available from NAPA
Balkamp # 600-3248
All the auto parts stores around here have the "black box" extractor kit that they will loan you when this becomes an issue... no need to buy one.
auto zone has ben real good to me on loanin tools. you have to pay for it but can bring it back for a refund. i like that deal.
Ford builds the cheapest junk with the cheapest parts money can buy! The coils go out every other week. They sell new heads real cheep you might need a couple of new ones. It's a riot to put in ford spark plugs in your browser. Always good for a laugh. If you want to work on the motor just pull off the cab the ford manual says.
Ford Plugs.......
My Buddy, just had the plugs changed in his Ford pickup,had to jack up cab,the bill was $1600.00,had to heli-coil every plug hole,fords better idea.
my neighbor just paid $800 to change his plugs on his f150 3 valve
tell your neighbor to save his receipt there is currently a class action suit on this he may be able to recoup his money.
ford really messed up on that long electrode plug and a 90k plug replacement policy.
now that the 3v mod motors are getting 100k miles on them this has reared it's ugly head.
anyone out there with 50k miles on a mod motor would be wise to change the plugs now.
the correct method is cold motor, loosen 1/2 turn, spray a little carb cleaner, next day loosen 1/2 turn, bit o carb cleaner and remove
careful with the carb cleaner, takes 8 oz to hydrolock a 3v motor
I can and have changed the plugs in my 04 Chevy SS in about 20 mins. They looked as good as the new ones only a little brown. And you can easily get to things on chev and dodges. Fords were designed to be quickly assembled on the line and are a nightmare to work on. I know this as I work for a boss who is a ford guy and all our trucks are fords. ( fleet mechanic). This week a clutch, an automatic trans fail. A coil and a computer water temp sender failure. Job security those fords. The planetary sets in the 99 v-10 had alum pins and I replaced all parts with aftermarket beefy stuff. Planetarys with six gears instead of four and steel pins not alum. Titanium sun shells better everything. The factory stuff is poor and the fact that the overdrive tranys revert to overdrive every time you start the truck. The tranys would last a lot longer if overdrive was only used on the freeway. Also non loaded trucks do a lot better. If you load them heavy like we do at work they can't take it.
fastest fix on ford plugs
sell it an buy a chevy
or like the old saying goes... its a quart low on water in the intake.
you can try this first an all these know it alls will say dont do it, but it works.
remove top of air cleaner, start engine then hold throttle from carb or throttle body at about 3500 rpm or more but not wound tight.
very very slowly poor water into intake just enough to bog engine but not stall it.
this instantly removes all carbon buildup from combustion chamber, valves,plugs, etc. also can help with cheap gas ping.
ps: on injected engines, the overly oxygenated exhaust will cause o2 sensor to enrichen engine for a short time ensuring no burnt valves. on carbs just poor a capfull of marvel oil down intake after to coat valves.
I guess all the Chevy guys are clinging to their Vegas, Corvairs and Olds diesels... GM has never made and crap have they?
I've owned many fords. It's the new junk that isn't engineered to be accessible to work on.
Ever change a power steering pressure line on a Honda Prelude? It's about six feet long and wraps (the long way) around the engine and down to the power steering rack that is behind and below the engine.
Replace the battery on a PT Cruiser? It's underneath the intake manifold plenum. If it needs to be jumped all you get are two little posts peeking up from underneath.
I can just imagine old timers in the 1950s complaining about the "complexity" of the (then) new 12v electric systems...
Maybe old timers from the turn of the 1900s complaining about them new fangled horseless carriages...

Reviews of this property
It was a nice apartment we lived in and everything we needed was in the apartment.
We could easily find it from the description that we had received. It was clean and cozy. The only downside was that we did not really could find or get to the dumpster and had to leave waste bags stand. That we had a little difficulty with. We have enjoyed our stay in munich which is a lovely town.

Det var en dejlig lejlighed vi boede i og alt hvad vi havde brug for var i lejligheden.
Vi kunne nemt finde den ud fra beskrivelsen som vi havde modtaget. Der var rent og hyggeligt. Det eneste minus var, at vi ikke rigtig kunde finde eller komme ind til affaldscontaineren og måtte lade affaldsposerne stå. Det havde vi det lidt svært med. Vi har nydt vores ophold i münchen, som er en dejlig by.

Nice apartment, close to Munich old town. Quick and clear communication, I would definitely recommend it.
Super hosts. Everything organized and communicates perfectly. Everything worked out well. The apartment is very nicely decorated and cozy. We would not hesitate to stay there again and recommend Alex on!
Super Gastgeber. Alles perfekt organisiert und kommuniziert. Alles hat gut geklappt. Die Wohnung ist sehr angenehm eingerichtet und gemütlich. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen und empfehlen Alex weiter!
Dear Alex, thanks for a perfect apartment! We liked everything: perfect connection with city center, nice design, everything understandable etc. Have a nice day!!! Thanks
Everything worked out great!
Alles super geklappt!
With the weather we did have bad luck, but the apartment was a winner. For two days we have is probably felt by almost without go out. The next time it will be longer. The warm, well-equipped apartment was worth straight gold in this weather. And Alex is a very nice host. See you again! Per Lennart Aae
Mit dem Wetter hatten wir zwar Pech, aber die Wohnung war ein Volltreffer. Zwei Tage lang haben wir uns darin wohl gefuehlt, fast ohne rauszugehen. Naechstes Mal wird es laenger. Die warme, gut ausgestattete Wohnung war gerade bei diesem Wetter Gold wert. Und Alex ist ein sehr netter Gastgeber. Auf ein Wiedersehen!
Per Lennart Aae
Der Vermieter ist sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Wohnung sehr sauber und schön. Als der Fernseher kaputt gegangen ist, wurde auch sofort Abhilfe geschaffen. Sofern die Wohnung frei ist, würden wir jederzeit dort wieder übernachten.
Reviews for this host's other properties
Great location. Very close to Metro station and only 3 to 4 stops from city center. Supermarket 5mins walk around the corner. Bedrooms are decent size and all rooms well equipped. Hope to be able to stay again.
The flat was very nice. Alex answered rapidly to the questions I asked.
The only problem was that our car park was used by some else very often.

President's Welcome: Inspiring lives of leadership and purpose
Laurier is a jewel among Canadian universities. We are a comprehensive, multi-campus institution with a reputation for excellence in teaching, research, and our student experience. We are also known for our campus vitality and sense of community, traditions that date back more than a century to our founding in 1911.
All of this came through loud and clear in the research conducted during our Envisioning Laurier initiative. This rich store of opinion and data became the basis for the collaborative development of Lauriers new statement of Values, Vision, Mission and Guiding Principles.
Once this document was approved, we sought to capture its essence in just a few words. Along with academic excellence, two words emerged repeatedly: leadership and purpose. Laurier is a university that encourages and supports its students, faculty, staff and alumni to take a leadership role in all aspects of their lives. In short, Laurier is about inspiring lives of leadership and purpose.
These six words are the foundation for telling the Laurier story. More than a slogan, inspiring lives of leadership and purpose is the theme that shapes all that we say about Laurier. It also serves as the lens through which we view new initiatives, new programs and new directions so they remain rooted in the compelling vision that is uniquely Lauriers.
Laurier is a remarkable university with a long tradition of inspiring lives of leadership and purpose. I encourage you to join me in telling the Laurier story to the world.
Dr. Max Blouw

Our specialists know that cancer in children, adolescents and young adults is different from adult cancer in how it develops, how patients handle treatment, and the health and well-being of patients in the future. We work with you to help your child and your whole family work through the process.
In order to provide highly specialized cancer therapies, Children's Hospital offers a range of clinical trials through our own research programs as well as through participation in Children's Oncology Group (COG), an organization comprised of the world's experts dedicated to studying childhood cancer. Our team's commitment to research ranks us as one of the top programs enrolling patients in clinical trials. This means our patients and their families benefit from nationwide research in childhood cancer. In addition, Children's Hospital is a member of several early-phase research consortia, which means that children with difficult-to-cure types of cancer benefit from access to early phase clinical research trials to explore new therapies.
Young adults who have received or currently are receiving cancer treatment may need special support. Learn more.
It's important to learn everything you can about your child's diagnosis and care. We'll give you a second opinion.
How will a diagnosis or treatment for childhood cancer or a blood disorder affect your child's health and well-being in the future? Learn about our Next Steps Survivorship Program.

This sounds wonderful!!! Thanks for sharing !!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
This sounds wonderful!!! Thanks for sharing !!
I have a stupid question........You just mix the dry angel food mix with the pie filling and bake?? It puffs up on it's own? Looks yummy and sounds so easy !! I can hardly wait to try it......THANK YOU for the recipe.
Kaye Jacobson Salverda
Sounds like something I will have to make and take to my next quilt get together.
Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind see.
mark Twain
Just One box of cake mix and one can of pie filling
Just One box of cake mix and one can of undrained crushed pineapple.
Do not add water!
Do not pass GO!!
Then bake for the times on the box as per the size/shape of pan(s) you have used.
I know ... it's all too simple to believe it is possibly for real!!!
............ but it is!!!!
Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!
As a Weight Watcher, I was very intrigued when I saw Angel Food cake!! That is one W.W. treat I allow myself on the weekends. Thank you so much to everyone for all the fantastic varieties. I am presently down 37 pounds, four dress sizes and my knees DON'T HURT ANYMORE!! Life is great - I've just turned 60 and celebrated by going Zip Lining at Hunter Mountain in New York!! There will be Apple Angel Food Cake for dessert Saturday!
yummy to the tummy. i will get some at store tomorrow and make one. that looks delicious icon17
looks soo good.
This is the only way I make cakes! sooo good! I use any cake mix and any canned fruit. Have never tried one and thought "ugh, won't fix that combo again". We call them "Dump cakes" because you just dump the stuff in a pan. If you like a cake, like above, you mix then pour. If you like a cobbler, dump the fruit in (save some of the syrup), then dump the cake mix on top. Sprinkle the leftover syrup on top and bake.
You can have any design you want. As long as it's loops!
I made a Spice Cake Mix with Pumpkin and it was awesome and yes it is a Weight Watchers Cake.
I collect Seraphim Angels
made it Sunday...was wonderful and so EZ

actions speak louder than words. Your half black person-Obama has actions that speak louder than words... alright.
And yes we know, that no matter who your pathetic DNC party nominates, they will be the best and the perfect color of brown or black and adored by you and the media.
During Cuomo's tenure as HUD Secretary, he called for an increase in home ownership.[9] He also pushed government-sponsored lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to buy more home loans issued to poor homeowners, in an attempt to end discrimination against minorities.[6] Some believe that this helped lead to the current subprime mortgage crisis.[6][9][10] Edward J. Pinto, former chief credit officer at Fannie Mae, said "they should have known the risks were large. Cuomo was pushing mortgage bankers to make loans and basically saying you have to offer a loan to everybody."
My point is that if you think Latinos will vote for Martinez and especially Rubio just because they are brown then you are retarded.
You are the fricking retard to believe the media spin that 'it is all over' for the pubs,for evah and evah, both politically and geographically. That, you seem to believe that crap about the GOP not evah capturing the Latino vote.
Any GOP candidate that is bilingual can offer the basic core conservative issues and win.
LoL at the GOP...Just run a Latino and you will compete.
this is the clarion call for the party now, all the while grousing about the Dems playing the race card and pandering to minorities and identity politics and etc...
Cory Booker is gonna beat her in the Democrat primary. She does not stand a chance. He is gonna have the backing of Obama and the new democrat base of hispanics, coupled with the long standing base of blacks.
You boys and girls better get used to the sound of President Booker for 8 years.
No to derail this thread already but did you see that Bill Clinton was trying to hook up with Jennifer Flowers again while Hillary was a US senator? Clinton is such a piece of shite husband. I can't believe democrats can still use him to support their "war on women" meme.
Cory Booker is gonna beat her in the Democrat primary. She does not stand a chance. He is gonna have the backing of Obama and the new democrat base of hispanics, coupled with the long standing base of blacks.

Lakeshore Express airline suspends operations
Lakeshore Express Aviation has suspended operations.
The Chicago-based airline, which had offered service between Oakland County International Airport in Waterford Township, Pellston Regional Airport in northern Michigan and Chicago Midway International Airport, informed customers of the suspension through a blog post written by CEO Greg Stallkamp on Lakeshore's website Tuesday.
"As we look forward to serving you this 2014 summer season and beyond, we are going to take a short break," the post states. "At this time, Lakeshore is cancelling all future flights.
Passengers with existing reservations will be granted full refunds, said the post.
A message was left with Lakeshore. The airline's voicemail answering system reiterated what was stated in the blog post.
A representative from the Oakland County airport declined comment on the suspension, as did private aviation service provider Pentastar Aviation Charter Inc., which owns the terminal at the Oakland County airport from which Lakeshore operated.
Lakeshore began offering flight service between Oakland County's airport and Chicago Midway last June, according to a news release.

Female White Gsd behavior questions
So she is about two years old now. We have had her since she was about 6 months old.
I have a few questions.
1. My dog sleeps in the weirdest cramped spaces for a 80 or 90 lb dog. These spaces are for a ****zu.
2. Separation anxiety or what?
She doesn't want to go outside without my wife or I, she won't leave our side. Whether using the bathroom or sleeping.
Like Velcro. Not a bad thing, we appreciate the nature of this breed.
But last night out of nowhere she pooped in the house after we let her out for 30 minutes. She won't leave the deck.
She knows not to get on the bed or couch etc.. We do not crate her, when we leave she sleeps on our bed. All the shedding we can tell!
And sometimes gets in the trash!
What is she telling us?
When we come home she is ecstatic I just feel we are going to be fueling this fire on the long run.
Very protective of us. Gets in the middle of anyone and our children and snarls. Won't let anyone enter unless I give them the ok. I love it but want to know what and when I need to worry.
Pack drive? She also sometimes moans growls at my 2 year old. Wouldn't bite her or anything but I don't know if that is her trying to set her straight or if it is an alpha thing?
Will answer all questions!
As you said - velcro. Which is very cool, but man it can get crazy sometimes. Like when they stick their head in the shower, then you have to laugh when hey get a face full of water and get that look.
Has something happened in the backyard to scare her? Any wildlife?
Without being home when she gets on the bed, you can't redirect or correct it. Close the door to avoid it. Same with the trash. If you aren't there to correct, put the can in the pantry, closet; just where she can't get to it.
I am concerned about the snarling and getting in between anyone and the kids. If there isn't a threat, it would be appropriate to be watchful, but not snarling.
I am also concerned about what you describe as moan growls at the 2 year old. What is happening when this occurs? Is it random? Is the 2 yr old being a typical 2 yr old and curious yet just not quite sure how to interact with a dog yet? Definitely get a trainer involved in this to get eyes on what is happening. Monitor ALL interaction between the baby and dog. Family Paws-New parent classes dog and baby can give you some ideas and also provide a list of trainers.
When I say snarling I must redirect that because re reading it isn't correct.
She growls and barks when someone comes into the yard, if the kids are outside she makes sure to place herself between the stranger and the kids. And growls and barks until I say stop. Then she just barks or groans never leaving her alert.
With the two year old, she is going on 3 and is very smart. She doesn't hit the dog or climb all over her. It is more or less so if the dog is sitting or something all my kids except my youngest can wrestle her attack her and do whatever they want. Ages 6 3 and 2. So there isn't much difference.
She still protects them all equally and has never shown teeth to my kids.
She doesn't usually show teeth except for 2 select people she just absolute hates. She will not attack unless I command it. She watches people like a hawk until she sees I deem them ok. Watches my hands and body it is weird! As well as them.
As for the sleeping in tiny areas?
She is very submissive to my wife and I but not so much anyone else.
Dog's like 'cave' like places to sleep. My dog sleeps with his head under the beds, I am sure if he could he would crawl all the way under. He has a kennel and was so happy when I put a board on top on made it more 'cave' like.
There are a lot of reasons she could be doing the things she does. Lack of confidence, weaker nerves, untrained, undisciplined, because she can, because you let her get away with it. None of those are insults, just common reasons why dogs do the things we don't want them to do. :)
You said she will attack if you command it. Is she trained in personal protection? If so it would make no sense that you can't control her in common everyday situations. (or can you?...not really sure what you're asking) Maybe 'won't attack unless you command it' wasn't what you meant to say?
Placing herself between the kids and strangers-Assuming you don't have a problem with intruders there's no reason why she should be allowed to do this especially if she's growling or snarling in the process. Have you tried to stop the behavior? Does she guard her food or toys?
Velco dog, they can be, but you can train them to not follow you every place you go if it bothers you. Some people love it.
Agreeing that something must have scared her out in the yard. Assuming she goes off the deck again now? Is she afraid of loud noises? This time of year she might have heard fireworks in the distance or thunder, could have been that if she's sensitive to sound.
Sleeping in small or strange spaces-not uncommon.
She has some pp training and she is off leash obedient since the training I can't count the times I have leashed her. Have used shock collars when we go shooting, she doesn't mind loud noises.
She isn't afraid to leave the deck. But more or less so doesn't want to be away from us.
I don't mind the protective instinct or her standing between the kids and someone else. You never know who is bad. So it is a good thing. We had a feral dog show up and charge my kids at one point and she settled that very quickly. It did not end well for anyone. So after that I love the fact she is protective, but I think it may be overboard at points.
I am very strict on her when I am around. I don't allow very much of anything
Most of it is when we are gone.
She barks out the window when people show up and we are inside.
By no means is she just uncontrollable or viscous. It is more situational awareness coming from her. I just am not sure how I can control the excessive part.
I can take or give anytime I please as my wife and kids as well.
They say they are one owner dogs but I believe she iloves my wife and I equally.
How can I tell lack of confidence etc..?
You are answering the questions you asked. People are responding with what they see in your questions.
The 2 concerns I listed are still valid.
Gonna post this to be helpful, other than that I'm out! Good luck!

Attacks on the Press: Deadly Trend in Brazil
The murders of two bloggers mark a surge in deadly anti-press violence. By John Otis
The murders of two bloggers mark a surge in deadly anti-press violence. By John Otis
New York, February 10, 2012--The body of Brazilian journalist Mario Randolfo Marques Lopes was found on Thursday in the city of Barra do Piraí in Rio de Janeiro state, according to news reports. Randolfo reported on local corruption and had survived at least one attempt on his life in recent years, news reports said.
Do you believe the free flow of information must be protected? Sign the #RightToReport petition and demand that President Obama immediately:
1. Issue a presidential policy directive prohibiting the hacking and surveillance of journalists and media organizations.
2. Limit aggressive prosecutions that ensnare journalists and intimidate whistleblowers.
3. Prevent the harassment of journalists at the U.S. border.
Or click here to see the full petition, and join leading journalists like Christiane Amanpour, The Guardian's Alan Rusbridger, Editor of the AP Kathleen Carroll, and Arianna Huffington in signing on.

I stopped watching streams and tournaments for about like 3 months ago, but when I saw him play he kinda played horrible and did really bad decisions in the lane phase... I don't know how he is now but I remember that he played really risky.
Just had a very weird game where both sides only had AP or AD players and no tanks/support. I think we both just decided "well the team comp is screwed up already so lets just go with the flow". The game lasted long enough for everyone to get full builds and it was just so weird. Our fights was pretty much run in and one shot as many people as you can before dying yourself. No fight lasted more than 10 seconds from start because everyone was being killed in under a second outside of hourglass/ult.
In the end my team won because of being able to kill two that were trying to rush our nexus down. I don't think I'll ever see a game like that again, but it was an interesting experience. Kinda makes me want to play a game where everyone picks assassin champions.
Normally I play mid/support, because everytime they spam with "I ad!!! I top I jungle!!" and later they blame me (support) for losing Thats utter nonsense I ward well, I trap well, I support well, I even tease enemy well...eh.

How come I win 8 out of 10 games random Draft, but once I hit Ranked I end up 5 to 21 past 25min mark...
Someone got an advice how to win at least some games at about 1k Elo?
No matter how hard I win my lane, both other lanes are just handing out free legendaries to the enemy to compensate for it.
Specializing in one role is never smart anyway.
The only issue is when your AD is horrible and you have to support them, your influence is limited to your lane only. Leave your AD and risk losing him and a tower.
Dear diary, I stomped phreak in 3s today.
If you're going to play support when you start going ranked, then it's kinda obvious why you went down the bottom, you should never go support in the first few games because it's very hard to carry, unless you're a good support that can allow your ad carry to carry, but it doesn't seem like that.
Also, there's more noobs in ranked because a lot of people that just went level 30 didn't wait some time to get more experience, runes and knowledge of the map, so yeah, more noobs in ranked than in draft.
I'm so close to finally getting out of bronze. I've put it off for so long and now I'm two games away. I was one game away but then I played a game as support. Not my best idea, I should of demanded another role. Oh well.
Two more games! I'd go for gold but I don't have that kinda of time this close to the end of the season.
Sure it wasn't some fancy E or something that was different to his name?
God I hadn't played in so long. Played my first game today, as Sej.
We woooon.
Was fun. I really love Sej.
I was VS'ing an Ashe. And it was fun in our 1v1 battles slowing each other, and ulti'ing each other.
When I saw her ulti animation, I'd fire off mine, and we would end up both being stunned, then back on the persuit.
It's good not playing every single day like I used to with friends. I seem to be less ragey, which is a good thing for everyone. No ban for my account, no unhappiness for random strangers.
We stopped searching for monsters under our beds when we realized that they were inside us.
Tell me something, my friend. You ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?
Everyone now call mid/top/jungle in first 2sec of game
Rarely see anyone call support (no surprise) or ranged AD
What happened to ranged AD? A role that a year ago everyone tried to take to no one want it anymore ?
The beginning of wisdom is the statement 'I do not know.' The person who cannot make that statement is one who will never learn anything. And I have prided myself on my ability to learn

A great strategy isn't foolproof, however: you still need the numbers on your side. Each offensive action has a chance to hit, and while it rarely makes sense to gamble when you've got a 1 percent chance of landing your shot, the choice isn't always that simple. Triumph can hinge on a dice roll. Your ability to maintain proper distance is the best way of maintaining supremacy, but you're still at the mercy of mathematics. You might shake your fist and curse when you miss a shot that had an 85 percent chance to hit--but you'll breathe a sigh of relief when the numbers aren't on your side, yet you land a critical hit that shifts the tide of battle. The tension of the dice roll is further drawn out by the cinematic animations that accompany the action. The camera closes in on your sniper and you hear the rifle charge. The fear rises and your heart skips. The anxiety might be relieved by the sight of a sectoid erupting in a gusher of green goo. But it might also be exacerbated by watching the laser fire miss the target, which means finding a new way of handling the danger--and the stress.
The glamorous camera angles that dramatize the successes and failures often contribute to the excitement, but the glam-cam occasionally glitches out, as do other aspects of Enemy Unknown's presentation. Along with close-ups of mean mutons beating their chests and thin men looking as if you caught them in the middle of something insidious, you get close-ups of plasma rifles clipping through walls, laser fire shooting through vehicles, and leafy bushes obscuring the entire screen in all their leafiness. A soldier might lean out from behind a wall and bug out, pointing her empty hands in one direction while her still-holstered weapon fires somewhere else. These seem like small considerations, but the game goes out of its way to look cinematic, so the visual problems really stand out.
Back at the base, in the meanwhile, you must manage a global array of countries that provide funding to the XCOM project. Their funds are important, because you use them to perform research (alien autopsies, for instance), enhance your squads (unlock another squad slot, perhaps), and purchase new facilities at your base. You view your base from a side cutaway view, ant farm style, and add facilities by excavating outward and downward. Those facilities fit into the bigger picture in a number of ways, producing engineers that you need to research upgrades in your foundry, for instance, or allowing you to place satellites over more regions of the globe.
Satellites are your way of keeping tabs on the state of the globe. Should a satellite detect a nearby UFO, you're engaged in a brief minigame in which an available interceptor attempts to take down the flying menace. Those interceptors--as well as the actions they perform, and the advanced weapons they can equip--also cost you funds, so it's well worth your while to keep different countries well protected. Should a country's populace panic, they may very well withdraw from the project, which negatively affects your monthly income. You can sell off various alien parts you earn after each battle should you need the funds, but those bits and pieces are used to both research and manufacture upgrades. You must always be aware of how your decisions impact future options. Buying titan armor for all your soldiers is tempting, for instance, but would those funds be better spent on more uniform satellite coverage, or foundry projects? There are consequences for every choice.
Smart use of the overwatch skill can make mincemeat out of aggressive sectoids without you having to lift a finger.
If you want to exercise your strategic skills outside of the core single-player experience, you can face friends and strangers online in one-versus-one matches. Players are given an equal number of points to spend on units. Soldiers can cost any number of points depending on how you equip them, while alien units are a set number of points each. There is no base management involved in multiplayer games, which are quick-and-dirty deathmatches in which the best (and sometimes, the luckiest) player wins. The matches have the same tense qualities as they do in single-player, with the added tension of not knowing your foe's play style, or the unit makeup of the opposing team.
You'll see strategies here that you won't see in the campaign. The opponent might use ghost armor to go invisible and then use the overwatch ability to spew plasma at you while you reposition yourself. Or he might buff up powerful human heavies even further by using a sectoid's mind merge. The multiplayer is enjoyable as a result, though its one-off nature doesn't have the long-lasting charms of the full-fledged campaign. You can save a go-to squad for easy use in multiplayer battles, though it's a shame you can't save more than one. Having multiple slots for various squads would be a really handy time-saver.
The limited number of multiplayer maps also takes some of the edge off of online competition, which echoes a limitation in the campaign. While you encounter a healthy number of maps when playing offline, Enemy Unknown does not feature the randomly generated maps of the game that inspired it. You eventually start to see maps repeat, which can be noticeable when you're traversing a map in Russia that you played in North America. The enemies may be in different spots, and you might begin battle from a different corner of the map, but the element of surprise isn't as strong in this game as it was in the 1994 original.
Don't be too concerned by the minor drawbacks, however. XCOM: Enemy Unknown is a wonderful and worthy strategy game with a layer of campy charm that makes the stone-faced seriousness of the game's characters all the more endearing. It's also remarkably accessible, thanks to a great interface that feels comfortable whether you're using a keyboard and mouse or have a controller in your hand. Enemy Unknown packs dense amounts of dramatic tension into each turn. And so it's time to eliminate the alien threat, commander. Select a location, build your base...and save humanity.

Why We Shouldn't Force Our Kids Into Sports

The message that we're sending to our children is loud and clear: we want you to excel at sports, so you'd better do it. We want to see you become an athletic star, regardless of your interest (and often skill level). Until we let go of our collective dreams of athletic super-stardom, of touchdowns and home runs, we will continue to negatively affect our children's psyches.

With Milton Hershey's success came a profound sense of moral responsibility and benevolence. His ambitions were not limited to producing chocolate. Hershey envisioned a complete new community around his factory. He built a model town for his employees that included comfortable homes, an inexpensive public transportation system, a quality public school system and extensive recreational and cultural opportunities. Unlike other industrialists of his time, Hershey avoided building a faceless company town with row houses. He wanted a "real home town" with tree-lined streets, single- and two-family brick houses, and manicured lawns. He was concerned about providing adequate recreation and diversions, so he built a park that opened on April 24, 1907, and expanded rapidly over the next several years. Amusement rides, a swimming pool, and a ballroom were added.
Milton Hershey's business success allowed him to practice an extensive philanthropy. In 1909, unable to have children of their own, he and his wife Catherine established a school for orphan boys that today is known as the Milton S. Hershey School. In 1918, three years after Catherine's premature death, Milton Hershey endowed the school with his entire fortune of Hershey Chocolate Company stock
His deeds are his monument. His life is our inspiration.
There is a lesson to be learned here. Perseverance pays off. Perseverance is defined as, "steady and continued action or belief, usually over a long period and especially despite difficulties or setbacks". Milton Hershey did not give up after his failures. He persevered. He ended up extremely successful...by most anyone's definition. For those thinking from a purely capitalistic point of view, he was successful. But I found another definition of Perseverance, this one from the Roman Catholic belief in God's grace, "in the Roman Catholic Church, the belief that God's grace lasts to the end of somebody's life if that person has maintained his or her good works and faith". There is also a third definition, this one from the Calvinist concept of divine grace, "in Calvinism, the belief that God's grace brings selected people, the elect, to salvation". We usually associate perseverance from a purely secular point of view. How odd how Milton S. Hershey personifies all 3 of these definitions
I started writing this to underlie the basic premise about failure, perseverance (not giving up) and success. Then I find this extraordinary (I believe) link between the definitions of perseverance (a 14th century word) and the life of Milton S. Hershey. I do not know if I am the only one here who sees this "mind blowing" revelation. But it raises so many questions...and I will leave you here. To ponder life's mysteries.
A Kid in a Candy Store! Or more appropriately titled, a Chocoholic in a Hershey Chocolate Factory. What can I say. I drove to the town of Hershey this morning. I was wondering what came first...the Chicken or the Egg...or more aptly...the Town or the Chocolate...the answer being...the Chocolate. The sweet smell of Chocolate permeates the town. You drive around with the car window down and you start salivating. You can just feel the fat cells congregating. Hershey...chocolate that is....is everywhere you drive. It's a beautiful town. But if they ever banned chocolate, the town would disappear. There's nothing else here. The Hershey Amusement Park, Hershey Ball Park, Hershey Arena, Hershey...Hershey...Hershey...and it's not because it's the town's name
From there I go for a drive and find the Hershey Gardens. A peaceful...well, it would have been peaceful if they hadn't been cutting the grass...place. A lot of flowers had suffered a frost, but still quite beautiful. I spend an hour there contemplating the gardens. Then back towards the Hershey Museum. History.
Back to lunch time. I get to town and start looking for a place to eat lunch. I see a Red Robin Restaurant. The entrance is closed due to some road repairs. I continue on looking for another entrance. I end up in an Outlets Mall. Calvin Klein...Polo Ralph Lauren...Jones New York...Tommy Hilfiger...and a bunch of others
Th...th....that's All Folks!


text: my truck is due for new tires. at least the rears need it bad but the front still have a way to go. if i were to change the rears would it be crazy thinking to buy 1 tire put the spare on as another rear and take the best of the used rears and use it as a spare. doesn't make sense to me to leave a brand new tire under the truck going unused. does that make sense to anyone?

I love Audi styling as of late. Pictures really don't do them justice. I wasn't a fan of them until the last 3 years or so. Every time I see them I fall in love with their simple lines and everything seems to flow just right on them. There are a lot of little touches that you don't notice in pictures. I'm not a huge fan of the Audi interiors but they are definitely not the worst in the business.
That is nice, I bet it's a ton of fun to drive as well.

@SSC Super VenomAudis are actually the most affordable of the three German makes, just look at these base MSRPs that I took off their websites.Audi A4 2.0T Quattro - $32,850Audi A5 2.0T Quattro - $36,500Audi A6 3.0T Quattro - $50,200Benz C300 4matic - $37,900Benz E350 Coupe - $48,850Benz E350 4matic - $51,900BMW 328i Xdrive - $35,150BMW 328i Xdrive coupe - $38,100BMW 535i Xdrive - $51,900Once you go past the A6/E/5 level you probably shouldn't quibble about which car costs a few thousand more or less. Admittedly the 5 series would be my choice in the midsize category but I would rather spend the money on an optioned-out Audi S4. Otherwise I think Audi has its competitors beat as long as you aren't looking for rear-wheel drive or a folding hardtop (which I would not be if I were shopping for a luxury car).
