They've all been banned.
If you want to talk to them, you need to get an account on the EMB, or go to Sportswrath.
Bastian was a good poster.
No one remembers who came in second.
They are buying silencers and scopes.
it is quiet this year so far!
their teams performance has a lot to do with it and i dont blame them!
besides they know Eli and the offense is on a roll! they cant deal with that!
i dont blame 'em!
I just went to their board
60% of them are convinced we will annihilate them, and just as many think Vick will leave the game injured
Also they are quite aware of who Andre Brown is........they follow us closely

ha, well the media believes Hello Kitty and the Panthers are better than Arizona, so what could they say over here? ... but they do have the 6 out of 7, but more than 50% of the players involved in the start of that streak are long gone on both teams
Apologize to Melo 5
Fourth Giants Superbowl broke their spirits.
here is what one Eagles fan had to say-
14 seasons...... 0-1 in Superbowl 0% wins
1-4 in NFC Championship Games.... yes 1 for 5 thats only 20% YIKES
Since 2004 Reid has made playoffs 4 out of 7 years and in those years he is 3-4 in playoff games. Less than .50% YIKES
Reid relies on talent to get him INTO the playoffs, and when we NEED COACHING to take us over the top. He falls flat on his arse.
Since 2002 we have heard, "I need to do a better job coaching, thats my responsibility" yet he has only shown us, he is incapble of learning from his mistakes, he does not do a better job, he does the best job he is capable of, until he hits his stubborness wall.
Lets look at Tom Coughlin's record in that same time:
7 seasons as HC of the Giants
Since 2004 Coughlins team made the playoffs 5 of 7 years... or 71%!!!!
IN Play off games Coughlin is 8-3 72%!!!!
2 NFC Championship games he is 2-0 100%
2 SUPERBOWL Appearances he is 2-0 100%
Reid in comparison to Tom Coughlin is a JOKE and the fact that Coughlin coaches in our own division let alone conference, just tells me we have little to no hope while Reid as our HC

Where I stayed
My truck...where else?
I had been debating whether or not I wanted to drive up to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, about an hour and a half away. Although it was a pretty large detour, I decided what the hell? It's been 14 years since I've been there, and I don't exactly have a schedule, so why not? Then another thought hit me. Why don't I make most of the drive tonight, camp out somewhere close, and get up early to watch the sun rise on the canyon? Perfect!!
My drive started some time after 11 that night. Just one night after the full moon, the land was again glowing in the cool, blue light being reflected down on the earth. I saw numerous deer while traveling through the forest, including perhaps the biggest buck with the biggest rack I have ever seen! The forest dense, the road full of turns, and the deer out in force, I drove slowly as to not turn one in to jerky. Suddenly, the trees on either side of the road disappeared and I was entering a huge, treeless park, standing out like a drop of blood on a piece of white paper. With the feel of a giant wheat field, glowing in the moon's light, almost as if the valley itself was radiating light upward to the skies. The few lone mountains in the region stood against the sky like a black bell curve.
About 20 miles shy of the Grand Canyon, I pulled off onto a dirt road, finding, once again, some fantastic washboard (and again, unlike my abs). I parked my truck in an open spot where another road trailed broke off to the north. I involuntarily smiled when I shut the engine off.
Beautiful, still silence
I woke at 4:15, the eastern sky just starting to show a hint of the new day. By the time I reached the canyon, the skies were growing light. After somehow missing the turn to Mather Point, I turned around and headed back, frantically looking at the clouds to the east that were already burning yellow and pink. I parked in the first area I found (which happened to be the bus area), threw on my jacket, and ran to the lookout.
I was surprised to find a horde of people, probably pushing 100 or so, waiting patiently for the first light of the new day. I found my place amongst the sea of Asians, already in awe of the clouds above the northeastern canyon rim, shining in yellows and oranges and pinks. I never noticed how there exists a color that is purely pink and purely orange at the same time. I doubt Crayola could come up with such a crayon, but the skies were bathed with it as the sun drew closer
I've watched a lot of sunrises, many when I am out on a solo trek in the desert or the mountains. One, in particular, comes to mind. I was in the Needles area of Canyonlands National Park, my last morning of a 4-day trip. I didn't intend to watch the sunrise, but in order to get back to Colorado in time for an engagement, I still needed to hike 4 hours and drive an additional 6, so I started early. The sky was just hardly starting to turn blue when I woke up and began packing my things. Stars were still standing watch when I hit the trail. As I hiked in the cold dawn, the world around me slowly becoming brighter and more vivid, I came to a saddle, just a few minutes (or what I thought) until the sun would peak into view. From where I sat, surrounded by mounds and pillars or red sandstone, I could see the actual Needles, off to the west, their highest tips already being illuminated by the Great Eastern Sun. Meanwhile, a giant red camel back closer to me was just glowing, more and more, bragging hues of orange and red more deep and lovely than you can imagine. As the sun crept down the Needles, it finally hit the top of the camel humps. Bam!! Like neon. Electrified. My heart sang. I grew anxious as the light continued to move down the camel, closer and closer to where I saw. And then it happened. The sky it so bright just above where then sun is about to make an appearance. Then it gets brighter. And brighter. Just when you don't believe it can get any brighter, the first rays of sun. Like a whisper, a gentle kiss, but at the same time SHOUTING, like a slap to the face! I don't know what happened internally, but I just started giggling like a little schoolgirl, tears of joy running down my face, so amazed and astounded by what I just experienced. The best 3D graphics on the biggest IMAX screen cannot even begin to hold a flame to it
Back to the Grand Canyon. With that same type of anticipation, I waited. Everyone in the crowd on edge and jittery. Holding their breath. Almost clenching their teeth, in suspended animation. And, as it does every day, the sun greeted the nervous crowd. Flash! Flash! Flash! Cameras going off like machine gun fire. I took a couple pictures, but my camera down, and felt like I was back by the camel humps, laughing, eyes watery, but glimmering of happiness.
Just minutes after the moment came, people scattered, got back on their buses, and I was left with just a handful of other folks, still watching as the canyon walls to the west were slowly being lit, top to bottom, inch by inch. Three Asian girls were taking turns photographing the other two. I walked over, motioning that I would take pictures of the three of them together. In the way that girls do, they practically squealed, and I was quickly given three different cameras. They smiled and laughed, constantly saying "Sank you, sank you!" "Five dollars each!", I said. I took a few other pictures for families and friends who would otherwise have one person missing, all initially shocked at the offer, but entirely grateful.
Running off three hours of sleep, I moved my truck from the commercial area to the furthest spot in the visitor's parking area, back in, and crawled back into my sleeping back. I was surprisingly able to get a couple hours of sleep, and woke up feeling better, though still pretty wiped. I found my way to the bathroom, where I rinsed my face and started brushing my teeth. Two brothers, maybe 14 and 11, were washing their hands at the two sinks. I saw the boys notice me, look at each other, perplexed and slightly smiling, and then back at me. I was not offended in any way, but rather, humored, and wanted to say, "What? You kids never seen a vagabond before?!"
After returning to the canyon to get a few more daytime pictures and take some more group photos for thankful families, I was back in my mobile home, heading west, to brave the Mojave.
Be sure to check out the pictures, below. Lotsa goodies.

On Dec. 4 and 5, the city of Lancaster hosted the annual Santa Train Express. Because of the generous contributions of the L&C Railroad, Lancaster County, Duke Energy, Comporium Communications and Mayor Ann Taylor of Heath Springs, the Santa Express served more than 600 people. Children of all ages enjoyed two days of taking the Lancaster & Chester Railroad train from the South Pole (Lancaster Depot) to the North Pole (Heath Springs) for a Christmas experience.
It is impossible for any coach to take a brand new school, with no football field, and develop a football team that wins a state championship in only three varsity seasons. It simply cannot be done. No coach, that I know of, has ever done anything close to accomplishing this impossible feat.
Coach Johnny Roscoe proved that it could be done when his 3AA Northern Guilford team defeated Crest High School 21 to 20 in a thriller at Carter Family Stadium to win the state championship.
I would like to thank all the organizations and people, especially Founders, the Lancaster High School student athletes, Bill Fortune photographer and Project Hope, who made project Hope and Operation Blue and Gold Santa possible.
It was one of the biggest successes in Lancaster. Families were treated to one of the best meals I have ever served. There were no complaints about the food. Everyone received a Christmas gift. For some, this would be the only gift they would get this Christmas. Families also received boxes of food.
The Lancaster County Parks and Recreation Commission youth soccer program has made a name for itself in all-star postseason play.
The LCPRC all-stars teams' recent stellar effort in state tournament play did nothing to tarnish that shining image.
The county stars fielded teams in three age groups – 10 under, 12-under and 15-under.
Two of those three teams brought home state crowns after competing in the elite field at the Manchester Meadows Complex in Rock Hill.
A recent visit to a local restaurant in Lancaster found me waiting behind three wide bodies blocking the tea dispensers. Despite tilting the sweet tea canister 45 degrees they found none to be had, so they waited for it to be filled. It didn't enter their minds to try unsweet tea just as it wouldn't have entered mine several years ago.
I wonder how many people read the Dear Abby column on Dec. 15. If you read it carefully, did you know that Abby's advice was incorrect, even dangerously incorrect?
The 34-year-old woman who wrote to Dear Abby related a 13-year battle with drugs and admitted she had long history of dangerous sexual habits she described as "prostituting herself in order to support her drug habit." She is now terrified she might have AIDS and says she has "had boyfriends since getting sober"
Every now and then a project comes along that is a privilege to work with.
Some time ago, I submitted a letter to the editor decrying the sad state of our community when my wife was left on the side of the road with a disabled vehicle and two small children in the car and nary a person offered to help.
Today, I eat those words and apologize to this wonderful community. Life has a way of setting you straight on matters and my correction has been delivered.
My family and I were recently in a very bad car accident, in which my wife was suffered life-threatening injuries.

I'm an electrical contractor and need a new logo for my vans and letterhead.
Electrical Service Professionals, Inc.
It's a small electrical company that I am just starting. I need a catchy logo for my vans and letterhead.
Here is a link to something that I like. I would like something similar to this logo, the animated light bulb guy.
My current lettering has ELECTRICAL in red. And underneath that it has SERVICE PROFESSIONALS, INC. in blue. I'm pretty happy with that lettering, but I just need a new logo icon.
- Item 1...I want it to have the company name - Electrical Service Professionals, Inc.
- Use your imagination. It doesn't have to be the light bulb. Just see what you can come up with.
- Item 1...No lightning.
- No plugs.

53 Open email attachments on the iPad in GoodReader. Review the document and then save it from GoodReader to Dropbox. When you get back to your Mac, a copy will be waiting for you in your Dropbox folder.
54 Use Dropbox as a backup for your backup. Assuming that your Time Machine backup sets aren't too huge, periodically save one of them to Dropbox. If both your computer's hard drive and your backup drive should fail, you could still recover some data. Or, if you notice that your Mac is acting funny, quickly copy important files to Dropbox, in case your Mac really falls apart.
55 Save incrementally between Time Machine's hourly backups: Save a copy of whatever you're working on at the moment to Dropbox, adding some sort of time-stamp to its filename.
56 Create an Automator service that copies or moves selected files in the Finder to Dropbox (with permission to overwrite existing files), and then launches the Dropbox app for immediate synchronization.
57 Normally, Dropbox saves versions of your files for 30 days. If you have one of the for-pay Pro accounts, you can install the Pack-Rat add-on. Dropbox will then save those files indefinitely.
58 If you have a file on a remote Mac that you need to access from your iOS device, use SSH or a VNC app like LogMeIn to connect to the Mac and then copy the file to your Dropbox folder; when you next sync, the file will be available on your iPhone or iPad.
59 Automate Dropbox folders by using OS X's Folder Actions or Noodlesoft's Hazel. For example: Save iPhone photos to a Dropbox folder that Hazel monitors. When it sees that a new photo has been added to the folder, it can then apply some image processing and copy the processed version to another folder on your Mac or in Dropbox.
60 Forget about complicated file-sharing settings: Just install the Dropbox app on all of your devices.
61 Configure your BitTorrent client to monitor a Dropbox folder and immediately initiate downloads when a new .torrent file is added to it. You can then copy a file to that Dropbox folder to initiate the download. (Just make sure your client is configured to save those downloads to somewhere other than Dropbox.)
62 If you need to give the same message to a bunch of different people, don't call them one by one and read from a script. Instead, record the message and post the recording to a public Dropbox folder. Then email the link to everyone.
What You Shouldn't Sync
Users have reported problems when they've tried to synchronize some files via Dropbox. One common thread among those problems is that if a program checks for conflicted copies of its data files, Dropbox could confuse it.
The three biggest apps for which we've seen reports about problems are:
* iTunes (the iTunes Music Library.xml file);
* iPhoto (its libraries);
* and Quicken (its data files).
No matter which apps you're synchronizing via Dropbox, you should be careful to close those files as soon as you're done with your immediate editing session. That way you won't inadvertently leave a file open in one place and create file conflicts when you try to open it from another.
This story, "62 things you can do with Dropbox" was originally published by Macworld.

Reviews of this property
We stayed two nights in the cozy an nice room in the gorgeous part of Venice. Adriano welcomed us heartly and adviced us good places. We enjoyed our short trip and when I am to come back to Venice once more, Adriano`s is quite a good place to return... :)
Excellent experience!
Nice flat with nice rooms.
Quiet area, perfect for relaxation.
Adriano is a kind helpful man.
Adriano is very friendly and ready to help, the room and the two bathrooms were clean, the flat is very near to th waterbusstation and near to bianale, thera three small shops to buy some food and bars to drink a coffee. We enjoyed it!
Good place to stay in Venice. Adriano is very nice and gives useful tips for the stay in the City.
I enjoyed my experience of holidaying alone in Venice, and was pleased with stay at Adriano's apartment. Sant' Elena district is a great location, mostly when you want to visit Biennale, what I did, and to be away from hordes of tourists. Nevertheless, it takes just a few minutes to get to the water bus stop, from where you can make a trip on waterborne routes. I definitely intend to have the same type of holiday again, and repeat at Adriano's apartment. Thanks Adriano!
Very nice flat - clean bathroom and friendly and familiar athmosphere.
Just a few minutes from Biennale Gardini away.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

Edit: I was picked!!!! Yippeee!!!!
You may remember that last June I took a trip to Arizona to get help with a software implementation (and I got to meet many Arizona readers at dinner one evening!).
I didn't mention at the time but the software that we were putting in place and switching "on" was Infusionsoft.
The Back Story
A little back story here, if you don't mind.
Prior to June we had …. *insert pause so I can count on my fingers* … let's see…. at least six separate piece of software to keep up the blog, the member area, the shopping cart, the partner program, the email list, the forums, and so on.
It was a pretty smooth sailing ship because we integrated it pretty tightly, but there were three big annoyances:
1) It annoyed you. Sometimes you got duplicate emails — this happened if you were in more than one of the software systems. I couldn't do anything about it.
2) It annoyed me. I had too many back-ends to administrate. When you came to me with an issue, I had to log in to several different administration areas to get an accurate picture of your particular situation in order to help you. I wanted to help you more easily! Sometimes I couldn't help at all (refer to #1 with the duplicate emails).
3) It annoyed my husband. 😉 The lack of one central back-end meant we didn't have very good (easily accessible) statistics about this site and its usage to help with future decision making, planning, etc.
Plus there were other issues… like how much money we were paying for the software pieces that gave us these significant annoyances!
The Solution
I searched for a solution and heard from my friend Debbie Hanchey at Automatic Methods that Infusionsoft might just be able to help.
Infusionsoft promised to solve all the annoyances, while combining everything into *one* piece of software (in addition to keeping WordPress that runs the site).
We took the plunge in June, and the result? We've gotten what we wanted and more.
No more duplicate emails. No more multiple systems. Helpful data. Added functionality to improve things for you even more.
Of course, there have been glitches — as can be expected — but you have been so good and patient as we work out the kinks. Thank you for that.
That big switch happened back in June, so why am I now telling you this? Two reasons.
#1 — Your Feedback
First, I want to get your feedback on what, if anything, you've noticed, good or bad, since the switch. What can we do to help you?
Infusionsoft is so incredibly powerful that there's almost nothing we can't do with it — though sometimes I have to ask for help. 😉
I made it do everything we did before — but better — and as time goes by, I've implemented new things to improve our service.
So, please share in the comments below (or privately if you wish) — how can I help you? What can we improve? What do you like about things around here?
#2 — I Want To Be Inspired
And here's the second purpose of this post.
I love to be inspired, and personal experiences and stories are especially moving. In my free time, I read business development blogs and listen to productivity podcasts. Does that surprise you? I'm immersed in food all the time, so I take my "breaks" on different topics.
To that end, this Spring I want to attend Infusionsoft's annual small business conference — InfusionCon 2013. Thousands of small business people will gather to be inspired, to share, and to learn more about Infusionsoft.
I want to go to learn how to better serve you.
I want to go to be inspired by others who are using Infusionsoft in extraordinary ways to better meet the needs of their customers.
I want to ask questions of Infusionsoft experts. I want to share what I've learned.
I want to meet the people who are on the other end of the support line. 😉
I have hope that I'll be able to do this!
You see, Infusionsoft is looking for three Social Media VIPs — Infusionsoft users who are active in social media — to attend InfusionCon 2013 all expenses paid. These three individuals will work for them throughout the conference by updating social media channels (blog, Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter).
Here's the thing: I think I'm perfect for any of these jobs and I want to be picked!
I'd be happy with any of the three positions, but I'm writing this particular post to fill the requirements of the "The Blogger" position. The job would be similar to what I did voluntarily at the 2011 Wise Traditions conference (here, here, here, and here) — except I'm pretty sure I'll be live blogging.
Now this is a food blog, and a traditional food blog at that, so I know most of you are probably not interested in Infusionsoft. 😉
However, I think you are as interested in me as I am in you. We've gotten to know each other over the years, and we're special to each other.
If you agree that I'm perfect for the job, would leave a comment telling Infusionsoft they should pick me?
I don't need you to do this in order to be selected, but I think it will be a nice touch to show Infusionsoft that GNOWFGLINS is a supportive community!
If I'm chosen and I get to go, I make you this promise: I will use what I learn there to help you with your traditional cooking and the traditional arts of raising, saving, and preparing healthy foods.

Having laid down the advantages, it is also of equal importance to look at the disadvantages below:
- Although the site's biggest advantage is its emphasis on visual content, it can also be said that it is its primary setback for other businesses. So if you are not a product-oriented business without visuals to offer, then it might be not worth the effort for you to launch a Pinterest marketing campaign.
- Pinterest was made without marketing for businesses in mind. Unlike the other social media sites, the offer a specific space for businesses to play their game. The challenge is to find a way to market your products without looking like it.
- Perhaps the biggest challenge for Pinterest is the copyright issues which are sitting in the corner, gaining strength each day. There is growing backlash from photo owners who owns the images pinned to the sight by its users. Although its "terms of use" puts heavy emphasis on the part where the user is responsible in making sure that those they share on the sight is free from copyright and licensing violations so that in worse case scenario, the user will face the charges and not them. So before you join the site, you have to be aware about the copyright and other legal issues that have plagued it. Aside from the move that they have revamped their terms of use, they also put a character limit on the description box for the pins. This will limit or even prevent users from copy pasting content that comes with the images. Even though you can technically reproduce anything from the Internet, it is safer to assume that all of which are protected by copyright so as to avoid future problems.

- Denilson
Denilson joined Arsenal in the summer of 2006 after breaking through at hometown club Sao Paulo.
When Flamini, Diarra and Gilberto left Arsenal in 2008, many expected Arsène Wenger to dip into the transfer market and buy a replacement.
Denilson Profile
|- Denilson
|Arsenal Career
|2006 - 0
|153 (120 starts, 33 as a sub)
Instead the manager gave Denilson his chance and the midfielder rewarded him with two consistent campaigns sprinkled with spectacular strikes against the likes of Everton and Standard Liege.
But injury problems, coupled with the emergence of Jack Wilshere, meant first-team opportunities became harder to come by in 2010. So after five seasons and 153 appearances, Denilson returned to Brazil for a season-long loan with Sao Paulo in 2011/12.
The technically-gifted central midfielder, who captained his country at every age group between Under-15 and Under-19 level, enjoyed regular football for his hometown club and made his spell in the Brazilian Serie A permanent soon after.

About the Show
Thanks to television, The Addams Family has an instantly recognizable theme song, but for the beloved cartoons to evolve into a Broadway musical, there needed to be more than just some "snap, snap." Enter Andrew Lippa, author and composer of the 2000 off-Broadway version of The Wild Party, and a Tony nominee for making the Addamses sing. The national tour will play Appleton's Fox Cities Performing Arts Center from February 26 through March 3 and Lippa talked with Broadway.com about becoming part of the gothic family and making them sing on stage.
"Going in, I had this idea that [the Addams family] were dark and brooding characters. But if you look at the original comics, Gomez and Morticia are always smiling. They look forward to blowing up things, but they're never malicious," Lippa said. "We wanted to find out what makes them actual people. The word we underscored was 'family' because it turns out they love each other just as much as we love our families."
Each family member in the musical has a distinct personality. Lippa determined early on in the writing process what role each character would fill. "We determined Uncle Fester would be a narrator with an old-fashioned vaudeville quality. Once we did that, I realized each character should have its own musical voice," Lippa said. "They're all slightly disconnected, but how they come together is part of the story. Wednesday sings in a much more contemporary voice. Her song 'Pulled' has a nod to the All-American Rejects' song 'Gives You Hell.' Gomez has a slight Errol Flynn quality, so he's often followed around with a Spanish guitar."
However, when it comes to choosing a favorite Addams family member to write for, Lippa remained mum on the question. "I don't want to make anybody else feel bad…one of those characters will call me up, I guarantee it!" Lippa added with a laugh. "I loved writing for Pugsley. I think I have a lot in common with him. I was a fat little kid myself."

WATCH: The Benedict Cumberbatch Vs. Tom Hiddleston Dance Off Is The Greatest Video Ever Made
OK, so I might be using a little bit of hyperbole, but when you've got a video that has spliced dancing Benedict Cumberbatch together with dancing Tom Hiddleston, all to the tune of "Sexy And I Know It", everything seems right in the world.
The video has been making the rounds, and I mean, let's face it, there aren't two people I'd rather see dancing more than Benedict and Tom. If only we could get them to have a proper, real life dance off.
Graham Norton, get on that.
If anyone could make it happen, it's Graham. So watch the video above and prepare to have your heart filled with joy. Who do you think wins at the end? I'm gonna say it's a tie because I love them both too much to pick.

"Gutless" burglars broke into a frail 91-year-old man's home and ransacked it before taking off with his television, chequebook and car.
Police said the house in Glenview, Hamilton, was targeted over the weekend by thieves who smashed their way in through a back door.
The owner had been unwell and was recovering at a relative's at the time.
"Not only did the offenders steal the man's television, chequebook and car, they ransacked every room in the house displaying behaviour totally unacceptable to any normal minded person when you consider the age, let alone the state of the victim's health," said Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Neville Ross.
"Their actions were pretty gutless."
Because of the victim's frailty, neither his family nor police had told him about the burglary.
Police were seeking sightings of his red 2000 Nissan Bluebird sedan, registration FHN333.
Anyone with information was urged to contact Hamilton police on (07) 858 6200 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Sailor's Invitations – Understanding Egypt
Understanding Egypt is a series about Egyptian culture and traditions. I will try my best to explain the Egyptian way of thinking about different aspects of life that are usually different (or not) from Western and other cultures. If you have any questions or points you need elaborated please contact me through the comments sections or through the contact me page.
Ever been to Egypt? If you've been here then I'm sure you entered at least one shop at a random time and you found the people there eating (we tend to eat when hungry, at work or anywhere else this doesn't bother us that much.)
If your answer was yes to the above questions, then I'm sure the guy that was eating offered you to join him with a smile on his face.
It's not only about food, however it is very common in Egypt to hear the word "etfadal" – "please, join me" when eating.
This happens also in many other situations. You go into a shop and buy something, you ask how much is it and the reply is "oh its nothing, you shouldn't pay"…now that is a nice offer, but please don't take it seriously.
Egyptians invite/offer people to anything and everything. They are eating; they will invite you to join them. They sell you something; they will offer you not to pay. You pass by their shops or homes; they will invite you in, for a cup of tea maybe.
But the typical reply that is always expected in these situations is a broad smile and a sincere "thank you"
This kind of invitation has a name in Egypt, it is called "ezoumet marakbeya" which translates to "a sailor's invitation"
Now don't get me wrong, we have nothing against sailors here, but the tradition of the name comes from back in the day when the fisher men on their small fishing boats would occasionally come close to each other, each on their boat, and say "etfadal" (please, join me) knowing that the other sailor cannot possibly leave their boat and join them.
It is just an invitation out of nice-ness, just to show that they are hospitable and willing to offer and share.
Honestly, as an Egyptian, I say this word a lot. And if you decided to accept the offer I will always be happy, just like any other Egyptian offering you to share their food for example. The only instance that this offer is a must decline when it is offered on sold goods.
Though the seller will try hard and act serious, telling you "please don't pay", "wallahi khaliha 'aleina" (I swear just leave it on me), but if you try to say fine, they'll chase you! 🙂
I don't know about you, but for me, it sounds like a really nice offer always, though I know I will not accept it but it makes me feel welcomed, and makes me feel more comfortable around that person offering me.
Is this similar to the culture you come from? Please share with me in the comments, and don't hesitate to ask me about anything 🙂

While the 4.7-inch version of the upcoming iPhone 6 will seemingly function as a large version of the current iPhone interface, it appears that the larger model with a 5.5-inch display could run software in landscape mode with an iPad-like user interface (portrait views likely remain unchanged). Developer Steven Troughton-Smith altered the iOS simulator to run at 736 points x 414 points (1472 x 828 at 2x or 2208 x 1242 at 3x), the resolution we first reported was likely in the cards for at least one iPhone 6 model, and provided us with screenshots of the presented interface…

Steven Troughton-Smith Stories June 11, 2014
As we reported in May, Apple is working on a split-screen multitasking feature for iPad apps for a version of iOS 8. The feature, akin to the key productivity function on the Microsoft Surface, was not announced at WWDC last week, but code references to the feature have been found across the iOS 8 Software Development Kit.
Now, developer Steven Troughton-Smith has dug further into the upcoming split-screen multitasking feature and has hacked the iOS 8 iPad Simulator to make the function partially work. As can be seen above, Safari is taking up half the display. The tweaking to the simulator is yet to completely unlock all functionality with two different apps running side by side, but this demonstrates that Apple has been definitely testing the feature internally.
Troughton-Smith has also put together a video showing the split-screen mode in action on the simulator. That video can be seen below:

Steven Troughton-Smith Stories January 28, 2014
Earlier this month we reported that a developer was seemingly able to get Apple's upcoming iOS in the Car feature running through what we assumed was the iOS Simulator. Today, the same developer, Steven Troughton-Smith, has posted the video embedded above showing the feature actually up and running in a 800×480 Simulator window. Using the iPhone Simulator and iOS 7.0.3, the video shows the Maps app, a crude multitasking tray of sorts, and the ability to search by voice to navigate. No other apps are shown in the video, but it does appear that media controls of some kind are in the multitasking tray like in previous versions of iOS.
We noted before that the design had changed quite significantly since Apple first showed off the feature on stage at WWDC last year. The first set of screenshots posted showed a horizontal navigation bar, but the new video shows a design that's much closer to what Apple showed on stage and what it is currently displaying on its website. Smith also made some notes of his own after playing with the simulator: expand full story

Ahead of Apple's launch of iOS in the Car later this year, developer Steven Troughton-Smith has seemingly activated the feature inside what we presume is the iOS Simulator. iOS in the Car allows an iOS 7 user to connect their iOS device to their car's built-in center console display. On the console, they can use Apple Maps, read Messages, make phone calls, and control music…

Prominent iOS application developer, and friend of the website, Steven Troughton-Smith released a neat new iPhone and iPod touch application called "The Lotto Machine" that is a random number generator. Besides the great design, the application is unique because of its physics engine. The physics engine is best demonstrated when a user holds down the "Hold to spin!" button that cranks the wheel. The new application also shows off its accelerometer usage when a user tilts their device. As you can see in the video below, as a user moves their phone around in space, the lottery balls also move:

Mestek (MCCK): a pinksheet stock w/ significant upside potential
Posted by: whopper investments (IP Logged)
Date: August 16, 2012 08:37AM
Mestek (MCCK) is a very interesting pinksheet stock with a fun corporate history and the potential for some serious upside as the economy recovers. In many ways, the company reminds me of McRae (MRINA): a pinksheet company with serious insider ownership and a history of increasing shareholder value.
First, let's start with a description. The company is mainly engaged in the HVAC business, but they also produce machines for metal companies and engage in architectural work. You can find a fuller description of the company and their offerings at their corporate website and company directory.
What's interesting about this is all of those businesses is are quite tied to the housing market and economy. Thus, if the economy ever picks up, these businesses could see significant upside.
Before we start talking about how the businesses are performing, I want to go through the company's corporate history (which, by the way, you can find in note 13 of their annual report).
In 2006, the company went private by engaging in a massive reverse split / forward split transaction. As part of the transaction, the company agreed to engage in a dutch auction to repurchase up to $2.5m of shares each year for the next five years. Thus, the Company completed their last required dutch auction in 2011.
These dutch auctions were so interesting because they were engaged in at a huge discount to book value and (as I'll soon argue) it seems improbable the company is worth less than book. The going private also allowed the Chairman and CEO to take a super majority control of the shares, so his interests should be aligned with shareholders, though there is always the risk he starts robbing other shareholders who can't effectively do anything about it! However, a (admittedly quick) review of their proxies from before they went "private" seems to reveal very reasonable compensation and mgmt more focused on building value than stealing it.
Finally, it should be noted the company closed some very unprofitable divisions in 2011. It looks like those divisions were masking the profitability of the remaining divisions. Once those divisions are back out, it looks like MCCK has been earning 5% after tax ROE throughout the crisis and is approaching 10% in the TTM. That's a pretty impressive performance for a company levered to the construction market during that time frame.
So, all that said, let's hit the company's valuation.
Given the relatively decent performance through the crisis and the upside potential as the economy recovers, I think it's reasonable to believe the company is at least worth book value. At their latest report, book value came in at $17.64 per share and tangible book at ~$14.70. (As a side note, the company has a rather strong balance sheet, with more cash than debt and a very low leverage ratio overall).
In terms of earnings, the company has earned $19.5m in operating income over the past year. The company's current EV is ~$91m, giving them an EV / EBIT ratio of 4.8x. Trailing twelve months earnings per share comes in at $1.56, so the company is also trading at a rather reasonable 8x P/E (I much prefer EV / EBIT ratios over P/E, but some people do like that sort of thing!)
Lastly, it should be pointed out that Mestek has used the financial crisis to 1) shutter under-performing business units and 2) purchase small bolt-on acquisitions on the cheap. It's hard to put a value on that, but it should pay dividends as the economy recovers.
So, all that said, I think Mestek is a pretty interesting investment at today's prices. It's cheap, it's simple, and it has a good deal of upside as the economy recovers. All that said, I don't currently have an investment simply because I believe there are stocks with similar or greater upside potential but firmer catalysts / more downside protection (for example, Reading (RDI)). But I will certainly be keeping an eye on the shares, and I think they're certainly worth consideration at today's prices.

Nine IPOs are slated for the week of July 22, including five biotech/biopharmaceutical companies.
Several recent biotech IPOs have performed well. Among them are OncoMed (OMED), which develops therapeutics targeting cancer stem cells. OncoMed popped 60% on its first day of trading Thursday. Among the largest IPOs next week is Phillips 66 Partners, which plans to raise $300 million. Other upcoming IPOs in the energy related field include Jones Energy and Marlin Midstream Partners.
Here are some IPOs slated for the week of July 22:
Phillips 66 Partners
Ticker: PSXP
Lead underwriters: JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley
IBD Industry Group: Oil & Gas, Transport/Pipeline (No. 85)
The company is a limited partnership formed by Phillips 66 (PSX) that owns pipelines and logistics assets. Phillips 66 Partners generates revenue primarily by charging tariffs and fees for transporting and storing crude oil and refined petroleum through its pipelines and terminals. Phillips 66 has said it intends to grow its transportation and midstream business and will use the partnership as a primary vehicle to achieve that growth.
Formed early this year, Phillips 66 Partners reported revenue of $21 million for the first quarter, up 15% from the year-earlier quarter, with net income of $10.7 million, up 32%. One risk factor is that Phillips 66 accounts for substantially all its revenue. Top performers in this industry group, based on a Relative Strength Rating, include Cheniere Energy (LNG) and Summit Midstream Partners (SMLP).
Agios Pharmaceuticals
Ticker: AGIO
Lead underwriters: JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs
IBD Industry Group: Medical- Biomed/ Biotech (No. 4)
Agios is a pre-clinical stage developer of molecule treatments for cancer and "inborn errors of metabolism." It plans to raise $75 million. Agios has a partnership with Celgene (CELG), which has agreed to purchase 12.75 million common shares of Agios in a separate private placement. Agios entered into a collaboration agreement with Celgene in April 2010. Agios aims to build a multi-product company and aggressively pursue development of novel medicines.
Founded in 2007, Agios reported first-quarter revenue of $6.2 million, the same as in the year-earlier period, and reported a net loss of $7.2 million. As of the end of the first quarter, it had an accumulated deficit of $81 million.
WCI Communities
Ticker: WCIC
Lead Underwriters: Citigroup, Credit Suisse, JPMorgan
IBD Industry Group: Building- Residential/Commercial (187)
WCI Communities is a developer of luxury residential communities and homes in Florida. It plans to raise $185 million. WCI is organized into three operating segments. The homebuilding unit, which accounts for 61% of revenue, built 352 homes in 2012, up from 128 in 2011. WCI also has a real estate services unit and a unit that focuses on amenities.
It was founded in 1946 and reported revenue of $241 million in 2012, up 67% from 2011. It said it swung to net income of $50 million from a loss of $46.3 million in 2011. Risk factors include any slowing or reversal of the present housing recovery market.

How much $63

More information Blink-182 play Wollongong's WIN Entertainment Centre on Sunday and the Newcastle Entertainment Centre on Thursday
The original skater punks, Blink-182, may all be parents now, but in concert they're a parent's nightmare, keeping the kids amused with their toilet humour.
"Sometimes you see a parent come in and haul off their kid, and then other parents just laugh the whole time," says bass player Mark Hoppus from Japan, where the band is touring.
"The other night we received a gift from one of the fans before the show, a book called Making Out in Japanese. It had English translations of different sexual positions and different pick-up lines and things like, 'I think we need to go and get tested.'
"So we brought the book onstage and we were reading parts of the book between songs. At our first concert there, I was pronouncing Fukuoka with an F and then somebody told me it's pronounced with an H. I enjoyed saying it more with the F."
Has the band ever said something during a concert that they felt was a step too far?
"Yeah, pretty much all the time," Hoppus says. "We've had the same attitude for the past 12 years, although there is a lot less talking now than there used to be. Before, we'd play a song and then talk for two minutes, but now we play four or five songs ... and then talk."
Past album titles have included Take Your Pants Off and Jacket and Enema of the State. Yet their latest is conspicuous because it is untitled and the Californian skater punks have outed themselves as huge fans of the Cure. Robert Smith sings on one of the tracks.
"We were just talking about this song one day and said, 'Wouldn't this be an awesome song to collaborate with Robert Smith on?'" Hoppus says. "And then we thought, 'Why don't we just call him? What's the worst he can do? We are all gigantic fans of the Cure.'
"To be honest, we gave it no chance at all that he would say yes. But we made the calls and then the calls came back that he was interested and we were completely amazed and honoured that he would collaborate on a song with us."
The track, All of This, was recorded in four studios on two continents, so Blink are yet to meet Smith.
However, Hoppus, who sings Smith's lines in concert, has had some pleasant surprises: "He did call me on my cell phone once and my home phone once, which is probably the coolest thing that's ever happened to me in my life."
Not so good was the band's most recent Australian visit. The three band members - Hoppus, guitarist and singer Tom Delonge and drummer Travis Barker - are returning to finish off their March tour, which ended early when Barker broke his foot after tripping outside a Melbourne hotel.
To avoid landing on the computer and camera in his backpack, he twisted as he fell. All he managed to do was break his foot "in half" and tear the ligaments.
He played in Adelaide that night using his other foot for the kick drum, but was in too much agony to continue.
Barker returned to LA and underwent surgery. Barker's right foot is still in a cast, held together by screws, so the drummer - who has been playing since he was five and learnt Blink's repertoire in a day when he joined the band - will again perform using his left foot.
"We love touring Australia," Hoppus says. "We were actually bigger in Australia earlier in our career than anywhere else in the world. Pennywise brought us over initially and we got to play in front of thousands of people a night.
"Green Day, Offspring and Rancid had already made it big in the US and we were on the heels of that, but in Australia we seemed to be on the front of the wave. We've always been thankful to Australia because we've been strongly supported there and the crowd gets our sense of humour."
Hopefully, the parents will, too.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Twins, they had twins ....... wait are those quilts ???
Carsey , I'm torn with this - but it boils down to this: do you want grey or pink to dominate?
If grey - use the grey/white print instead of the solid pink. (I think I favor this combo.).
If pink, use the grey/white print instead of the dark solid grey. This would be a more feminine guilt.

Judy It's good to hear you are out of the hospital. Im glad you like my final blues.. LOL the total fabric purchased on my shopping trips for the blues tallied $600.00. I've been officially cut off from purchasing anymore fabric until the new year.. good thing that's not too far away.. LOL
Num Num, Im not too late for the samoosas at the snack bar am I ??
I am caught up on my other projects I was working on.. so tomorrow time to start cutting my mystery fabric and get caught up.
Have an awesome day!
Labeelady, Your fabrics are awesome, I really love those fabric combo's
Have an awesome day!
I got my 9-patches done today...switched my E & F, as I thought they looked better this way. I didn't have anything left except the 1/2 strips. Ready for the next clue on Sat. Judy, glad you're better!
Last edited by VickiM; 11-07-2012 at 04:27 PM.
Finished my 9 patch blocks also. Twice. I did not like the first set, pic 1, so I switched my E & F fabrics to make the blocks in pic 2. The patches that appear white are actually a very soft pale pink print. As it is I have tons of the fabric B I can always use the first set in another quilt. This quilt sort of reminds me of the 50s pink and grey poodle skirts. Yeah, I had one, LOL.

Vicki and Caroline, pretty blocks, love 'em.
Jenniky, you're lucky you're only cut off from fabric shopping till the new year! Or is that a self-imposed rule?

Well, I did my HST tonight. I still need to square up some. So started but still want to catch up some before the new clue on Saturday. The colors are brighter but not sure how to get a true picture.
Judy glad you are feeling better. Please continue to pace yourself.
just following this one along. I still have the last one to complete, lol
kind of like if you don't finish your vegetables you don't get dessert. I am enjoying looking at what everyone is doing and enjoying the variety of fabrics. Cant wait to see this done to "get" it.
quilt addict, this will be soooo pretty.

Thanks for helping!
Hungry in the evening, we walked into the restaurant. Got a veggie Burrito. It was a sumptuous and delicious meal
Absolutely the worst. Ordered a Mexican prime rib dish which was inedible - sent it back. The meat was either old/reheated or spoiled and of very poor quality. Additionally, the men's room was filthy. Will never return there again. Would give it zero stars if possible.
Food is cheaply prepared and tastes like taco bell put on a southwest themed plate...service is sub par....take out costs an additional .50...for what?? plus I wanted a few soft shell tortillas on the side and I was charged 3.00....best part they never put them in the bag...when I went backed called a liar....don't waste your time or money you...
I decided to get Mexican food so we went there and it was closed. I saw a new place on the main street over - Don Patron - and decided to try it - YIKES ! It was the owners just in a new location. VERY small portions with a charge for sides ! $3 if you want more chips...
ok the reviews aren't so great but it was close by and generally Mexican restaurants are safer for my daughter who has celiac disease.
My daughter asked for the gluten free menu because we saw on line that they had one. The waitress brought another regular menu. When we finally got her attention again and asked about a GLUTEN free...
we used to really enjoy this place.,,but sadly with the change in management etc, we will have to find another mex. place. food is prepared cheaply (shrimp half the size, chicken pasty white instead of the nice char we are used to ) If you want more than 1 serving of the usual chips and salsa it will cost you...
We have been to this restaurant many times over the past several years and recently it has gone down hill. We stopped for lunch today (only one other couple in the restaurant) and the server told us that is we wanted more chips and salsa it would be a 3.00 dollar charge! I asked when this new policy went into...
Saturday May 10th, 6pm visit. When this place first opened up it was a breath of fresh air for Mexican food in Rochester. Now it about the same as Taco Bell. Lots of recent reviews here discuss the alcohol, service and the chips. Well what about the food? On this visit I ordered the 2 beef taco combo. I assumed...
I would not recommend this at all. We visited 7:45 on a Friday evening. We were seated next to the hostess stand and numerous wait staff passed by but no one including the hostess offered to get us beverages. The chips they put on the table had a funny rancid oil taste. After a good 15 minutes we got up...
The food here is good, just not spectacular. Whether it is because they are in a strip mall and they need to cater to the various tastes that may walk through the door, or that they are in what is basically a multi-college town, the food is pretty bland. This is not to say untasty; it is good food, tasty...

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
My First American Home Buyers Protection Corporation ("First American" hereafter)'s protection plan was a gift from my realtor when I purchased my house. One day, I tried to put some ice into the waste disposer just to make sure it still functions and noted it was not working. I seldom cook so I've not used the kitchen's waste disposer since I moved in. Even though I didn't use it, I am sure the prior owner does. And the waste disposer was functioning properly at the time I moved it (I know that because I had a house inspector to check everything function before the purchase).
I read the contract and called First American. They sent a couple contractors the other days. They came in and played around the sink area for 10 minutes. They didn't come in with tools like other mechanic so I was wondering what they were going to do to fix the disposer. One of the guys noted there were some dried foods stuck in there (note: very small amount like a piece or two dried stuffs as he showed me). Then, he told me the insurance policy will not cover this because there's outside objects in there to cause the issue. I looked at them the whole 10 minutes and I know these guys don't know anything. And they are surely lying in front of me. Common, it's a waste disposer, of course, there's outside objects (i.e. foods) in there.
Anyway, I said to them, fine and showed them the door. I think that would be all. Then, I called another mechanic to replace the waste disposer for $150 in total (including a new disposer and installation fee). What piss me off is that, First American sent me a bill of $60 for the services of two incompetent mechanics. They didn't do anything and cover anything. Why I need to pay them? They're threatening to send it to outside collector if I don't pay up, which means some muscle guys may show up my door if I don't pay up. What kind of crooked company it is? I don't have time to deal with this kind of fraudster so I just paid (I know I should fight but I just don't have the time). So, I want to tell my story. What I want to tell everybody is that be careful. Don't buy from them! You will not get any coverage but troubles! Ask your realtor, don't buy the coverage from First American. Good luck!

Update on my Original Report
SUBMITTED: Sunday, July 13, 2014POSTED: Sunday, July 13, 2014
It's been about two weeks after I paid the fee to First American Home Buyers Protection Corporation ("First American" hereafter). and they cashed my check (of course). Now, I got a letter from their collection agent and asking me to pay. I am very angry to see this letter. What is going on with these fraudsters? I already made the payment. And now they're waste my time to call the collection agent to clear this incorrect outstanding that will surely hurt my credit? I know I have to find time to deal with this kind of unjustic. What a shame to this kind of business. Again, I just want to let everyone out there know and re-consider before you use them. You won't get protection but troubles.
Again, good luck!
