Rihanna Denies Saying Size Matters
New controversy has been surrounding pop star, Rihanna, and this time, it stems from an interview with German magazine, Bravo. Reportedly, the sexy singer described her ideal mate to the publication by saying, "He has to be good in bed and the size matters. You know what I mean? Inner beauty counts as well, but without a toy it doesn't make it fun."
However, just because the edgy pop star is comfortable revealing herself on stage, doesn't mean that she's ready to dish about her bedroom habits to a tabloid. Gossip Cop chatted with a source close to the singer who denies Rihanna ever uttered the quote.
Perhaps something Ri-Ri said got misconstrued in the translation. Maybe she just said she likes it when guys are "gross" in bed.
Gallery Info: Rihanna performs at the unveiling of the Royal Caribbean's largest cruise liner, Oasis of the Seas, in the ship's Opal Theater in Miami, Florida.

CEOs Roll With the Punches, Plot Higher Profitability
In an exclusive roundtable, executives from four installing security contractors shed light on how their firms successfully navigated the recession to emerge primed for future growth. Find out how they adapted to changing market conditions, among other strategic moves.
By Rodney Bosch · January 1, 2013
If I can use one word it would be accountability. We hold everybody in the company accountable, including myself. I have an accountability partner in the company. I have a meeting every single morning at 8 a.m., including a satellite office that calls in. I ask two questions and it's all I want to know. The whole meeting takes 15 to 20 minutes. I want to know what did you do yesterday and what are you going to do today? I used to get snapshot reports for each week to review. They were just vanilla reports. But when you are having a meeting and somebody has to answer for the time they spent yesterday, they are not going to say things like, "'I followed up on three proposals and I made two cold calls." They know what I am going to ask them: "OK, what did you do after 9 o'clock?" They have to give a good accounting for their time. When we started that our productivity went up. No. 1, it gets us all on the same page.
Lindberg: At Dial One Security we were never a big player in the home builder market. When the market collapsed it hardly affected us. But what we did see was a big downturn in the commercial jobs, as I mentioned, the bigger commercial jobs. It's just a new way of doing business. I think eventually they will come back but it is going to be very slow. It has made us more residential than commercial in sales volume. For at least the near-term, that's a permanent change.
We acquired a couple mainly residential companies, so that added to the mix, and we're doing a lot more servicing of existing and upgrades of existing residential markets. It has changed the makeup of our company. It wasn't through great leadership [laughter] that we decided to one day do more residential. It's just what happened because the bigger commercial jobs haven't come back.
Hood: First Alarm is very heavy in the Silicon Valley so lots of commercial, tenant improvements, access, video, larger buildings — lots of money. Then the recession hit, and it was real abrupt. It was like I came into work one day and we didn't have any sales in the commercial area. We went through our own stress test of testing our business model. We knew part of it was risky and that we had lots of employees whose jobs were really built out from this commercial business.
In talking about the stress test, the attrition was the thing. I come to work every day and that's the thing I'm watching. I'm waiting for those numbers to start creeping up. Attrition did initially creep up. What was interesting was the numbers turned right back around and I still can't believe what I saw. The numbers started to decline. It was a very fulfilling feeling to say we have these wealthy, older clients. We've qualified them on price and service and hopefully they joined our little club because they think we are going to do a good job. They are well-heeled, credit-worthy people and they didn't disappear. We instructed all of our customer service people and field people to really have a full-court press if somebody wants to try and cancel.
I would say this 'stress test' built some confidence in our team that maybe we do have a good plan, even though it's not a rapid growth plan. It's also not a rapid decline plan when things turn down. There were other companies, including some of the ones we bought, that were in trouble, they were on a very rapid decline.

I don't see why not. If the hammer in question dates before 1997 it is forged. If produced after 1997 it is MIM (metal injection molded). As much as the purist in me dislikes MIM parts, they can be treated just like any other steel part, that is, they can be blued, heat-treated, soldered or welded.
To be honest, in this day of costly labor and little hand fitting during production, MIM parts have a lot going for them as each part is identical to the last and a decent trigger is possible with little fitting. Although there are some reports of breakage of MIM parts, I believe these occurances are greatly overblown.
Not sure I agree with your tastes in revolver asthethics...but give it a try. Who knows, you may start a trend.

Dutch announce first CO2 trading projects for Kyoto
Date: 14-Mar-03
Country: NETHERLANDS
The Dutch will purchase emission credits through the 18 projects, which aim to cut carbon dioxide emissions by more than 16 megatonnes, the environment ministry said in a statement.
The 18 projects which focus on sustainable energy and clean techologies, will take place in Bolivia, Brazil, China, Costa Rica, El Salvador, India, Indonesia, Jamaica and Panama.
Under the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, countries are allowed to fund projects such as wind parks, biomass-powered energy plants and solar energy projects in developing countries and get credits toward up to half their goal in cutting emissions.
The Dutch have undertaken to cut greenhouse gas emissions by six percent versus the level in 1990, during the period 2008 to 2012, with half the decrease realised outside the Netherlands.
A ministry spokeswoman declined say what the Netherlands would pay to fund the projects.

That means that you have to improve your work a whole lot or go to a another direction with your design.
This can be from a number of reasons like quality is not up to TF standard, missing technical requirements, etc.
Many authors here get rejected at first, the thing is to keep on going.
Agreed, it's a job for plugin, not theme. If you ever decide to update/change the theme you're back in this situation again. Not really very wise in the long run.

Not necessary good ones, but still my 5 cents.
Pandamia is actually good one too.
Yeah, the images' purpose is only to show you what the template looks like. When you buy a license for PSD template, you will get the PSD files.
Also there's a lot of html versions already made from PSD templates. The price difference isn't very high.
If you mean the preview images, you'd need a license if you want to use the html version you make in any website.
Otherwise you can't use the html template you make if you don't have the license for it.
I have to apologize in advance, because one of these is sooooo dark.
We have a lot of these Finn, American and Norwegian (or Swede) jokes, which all of which doesn't translate at all to english, but I'll try to translate few here. Some of these might be rude, offensive etc. but that's pretty much the main theme in these jokes.
A Finn, Swede and Norwegian have been captured by a giant. The giant promised that if someone gives him a task he can't do or solve, the task giver is granted freedom. Norwegian said: "Eat all the forests in the world" And the giant ate them. Swede said: "Drink all the lakes in the world" And the giant drank them. The Finn took a square and drilled it full of holes. He placed the square against his butt and farted. He said to the giant: "Tell me from which hole the fart came out." Giant pointed one hole and said: "From there" The Finn replied: "Wrong, it came from my asshole." He was granted freedom.
A Finn, Swede and Norwegian doctor are comparing all the surgeries they've made. The Swede brags: "Once I stitched one womans' leg and it was so well done she became ballerina later on." Norwegian answers: "Once a man became a violin player after I fixed his hand." The Finn states: "Sure I've had similar cases, but once there was only left glasses and horses' ass from an accident and I managed to make it to a politician"
A Finn, Swede and Norwegian asked the most beautiful woman in the world to marry them. The woman says to the men: "The one that jumps off from skyscrapers roof and survives, will have my hand." All of them went to the roof of a skyscraper. Norwegian jumped and died. The swede jumped and died. When it became the Finns' turn he said: "Ladies first"
And here's the most dark one:
A Finn, Swede and Norwegian went to an island. The Norwegian shot them all.
I'm really sorry in advance, but I couldn't resist.

PITTSBURGH - Pitt's women's tennis team wrapped up day one of the USTA/ITA Regional Championships on the campus of the University of Virginia.
"Our first goal of the day was to have one more player in the singles main draw, along with Katherine and Taylor, and Amanda was able to accomplish that," said head coach Alex Santos. "Amanda has a tremendous heart and she can last for hours on the tennis court. She didn't start the day playing her best tennis, but she was able to fight through some initial nerves and get the job done. In her second match, I was pleased to see her going after her shots and assuming the responsibility of dictating play.
In the singles qualifying bracket, Amanda Wickman won two matches to advance to the main draw to play on Sunday. Wickman defeated Carmen Lai of Delaware, 3-6, 7-5, 6-2, and Carmen Sandor of Penn State, 6-3, 6-1.
Wickman will face Taylor Pinchoff of James Madison on Sunday. Also competing in singles on Sunday are Washington against Maci Epstein of Virginia and Castro will face Vivian Tsui of West Virginia.
"Taylor and Jocelyn were able to get the job done efficiently on the doubles court," continued Santos. "They are starting to understand the importance of playing every point as if it's the last. Molly and Amanda could have done a better job of communicating and of combining their offensive and defensive skills on the doubles court. Audrey Ann and Kimmy were a couple of points away from winning their match, but didn't make high percentage decisions during the crucial points. We have four players competing tomorrow and we are looking forward to being tested."
Lu and Washington defeated Macchiavello and Lhorca of Norfolk State, 8-1, to advance in the main doubles draw. The duo of Wickman and Wickman fell 8-4 to Thong and Yang of Liberty in the first round, while Kimmy Borza and Audrey Ann Blakely dropped an 8-6 decision to Batey and Doms of Temple.
In extra singles matches, Molly Wickman defeated Malfada Lhorca of Norfolk State, 6-0, and Lolade Ogungbesan defeated Olivia Gaudreault of Maryland, 6-4, 6-0.

Perhaps the most intriguing candidate to enter the race against Chip Cravaack is former Congressman Rick Nolan, who represented the 6th district from 1974 – 1980. His candidacy has been characterized as a re-entry to politics, but the truth is Nolan has remained active in politics in Crow Wing and Aitkin Counties through the years.
Nolan, a former staff assistant to Senator Walter Mondale, began his political career in 1968 when he was elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives. The Royalton (Benton, Morrison Counties) civics teacher represented District 53A for two terms serving from 1969 – 1972.
Nolan's first try at congress was in 1972 when he attempted to unseat the entrenched conservative, Representative John Zwach. He lost in the only close congressional race that year, receiving 109,995 votes to Zwach's 114,537. 1974 proved to be a much better year. Like his counterpart Jim Oberstar in the 8th district, Nolan won an open congressional seat, defeating republican Jon Grunseth by 18,668 votes.
During his tenure in Congress, Nolan earned a reputation as an outspoken and staunch advocate for the less fortunate, bucking the establishment when necessary. Congressman Nolan demonstrated his independent streak and adherence to principles when he joined disaffected democrats and labor leaders in creating a movement to draft Senator Edward Kennedy for president in 1980. President Jimmy Carter was felt to have been "going against the grain of the party". Of particular concern was the fact Carter did not attempt to enact universal health care, a promise he made during the 1976 campaign. The hotbeds of the Draft Kennedy movement were Iowa, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Ohio, New Hampshire and Colorado. Carter did ultimately win re-nomination, receiving 2,129.02 votes to Kennedy's 1,150.48.
Nolan retired from Congress in 1980 to start his own import-export business. In 1987, Governor Rudy Perpich asked the successful businessman to serve as president of the new World Trade Center Corporation, a unique state agency created to promote international trade with Minnesota businesses.
With this impressive resume, Nolan is arguably the strongest candidate to emerge to date. The only real negative (for some) is his age. But he is an energetic 67 year old and has several advantages that greatly outweigh the age factor. He is well-known and respected by veteran party activists. The 8th district has an older populace who will likely remember his previous public service. As a former congressman, Nolan will not have a learning curve and can hit the ground running. Another plus for those of us in the 8th: his previous years of service in the House count towards seniority, so he will be a fourth term congressman, equal to Tim Walz, Keith Ellison and Michele Bachmann (if re-elected), not a freshman.
It is clear that the successful DFL candidate will need to at least hold their own in the western and southern parts of the district in addition to getting a solid turnout in the north. Nolan has a demonstrated ability to win in conservative areas. The 6th congressional district that he represented included Mille Lacs, Benton, Sherburne, Wright, Stearns, Kandiyohi, Meeker, Wright, Chippewa, Big Stone, Lac Qui Parle, Yellow Medicine, Renville, Lincoln, Lyon, Redwood, Pipestone, Murray, Cottonwood, Rock, Nobles and Jackson Counties and a part of northwestern Hennepin County. With the exception of Mille Lacs, these counties are now part of the very conservative 6th and 7th congressional districts. Sherburne and Benton counties were once part of the 8th district and may well be again after redistricting. The Brainerd native and former Little Falls resident clearly has the ability to undercut Cravaack in his base.
Nolan can also be expected to run well in the North, where his solid ties to organized labor and his close relationship with the Iron Range's own Rudy Perpich will certainly be an asset.
The ability to raise money has unfortunately become a requisite for a candidate. The former congressman has the support of colleagues and has many contacts in the national business community (the Supreme Court ruling regarding corporate contributions may actually help us for a change). His long-time ties to the party should not be overlooked and more importantly, he is seen as one who can beat one-termer Chip Cravaack. Nolan can certainly raise big money quickly.
Those of us who knew Rick when he served in the Minnesota legislature and in congress remember him as a good campaigner and a thoughtful, dedicated public servant. It is this dedication to public service that has prompted him to consider another run for congress. He is indeed a formidable opponent. If elected, we can expect the same effective representation we had under John Blatnik and Jim Oberstar.
And wouldn't that be nice for a change?

Stamp Out Hunger food drive kicks off this weekend
EASTERN CAROLINA - Local letter carriers are gearing up for Stamp Out Hunger, the largest single-day food drive in the country.
Eastern Carolina residents are encouraged to leave non-perishable food next to their mailboxes on Saturday, May 11, prior to the time of regular mail delivery. The food should be in a sturdy bag, and can include canned soup, canned vegetables, pasta, rice and cereal, organizers said.
Letter carriers will collect the food donations as they deliver the mail. Volunteers will also be helping out.
New Bern food donations will be taken to the Religious Community Services (RCS) soup kitchen and pantry. Havelock donations will go to Havelock-Cherry Point Ministerial Outreach. Donations in other cities will be going to their respective collection sites.
Stamp Out Hunger collected more than 70 million pounds of food in 2012, organizers said. It is now in its 21st year.
In addition to the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC), the U.S. Postal Service, Campbell Soup Company, Feeding America, AARP, Valpak, the National Rural Letter Carriers' Association, the AFL-CIO, United Way and Uncle Bob's Self Storage are supporting this year's drive.
Those with questions about Stamp Out Hunger should contact Pam Donato, NALC's director of community services, at 202-662-2489 or at email@example.com.
More information can also be found at the Stamp Out Hunger website.

Feinstein blows our Pakistani cover
posted at 10:14 am on February 13, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
Until now, most people assumed that the US conducted its Predator strikes on Taliban and al-Qaeda targets from bases in Afghanistan. Now, however, Senator Dianne Feinstein has exposed a Pakistani partnership on Predator launches that the previous administration tried to keep quiet. Her offhand remark may put the entire program in jeopardy:
A senior U.S. lawmaker said Thursday that unmanned CIA Predator aircraft operating in Pakistan are flown from an airbase inside that country, a revelation likely to embarrass the Pakistani government and complicate its counterterrorism collaboration with the United States.
The disclosure by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), the chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, marked the first time a U.S. official had publicly commented on where the Predator aircraft patrolling Pakistan take off and land.
At a hearing, Feinstein expressed surprise at Pakistani opposition to the ongoing campaign of Predator-launched CIA missile strikes against Al Qaeda targets along Pakistan's northwest border.
"As I understand it, these are flown out of a Pakistani base," she said of the planes.
Until now, that was a closely guarded secret. The drone attacks are incredibly unpopular among the Pakistani public, and the US didn't want to undermine the current, democratically-elected government in Islamabad. They wanted to give the Yousef Gilani government deniability on their cooperation with the American military in order to keep our options for attack open.
This isn't the first time Feinstein has blown a sensitive operation by opening her mouth, either. Californians will recall that Mayor Feinstein called a press conference to discuss the Night Stalker case, a string of violent rapes and murders that terrified the entire state. She divulged previously-confidential information about Richard Ramirez' shoes and gun — and on hearing it, Ramirez promptly dumped them into the bay on his way out of town, eliminating key evidence in the case.
This exposure will cause much greater damage. The Pakistani public will almost certainly demand an end to these Predator flights, which have been highly successful at decimating terrorist leadership in inaccessible areas of the Pakistani frontier. Without that kind of tactic available, we will have to fall back to more intrusive and potentially less effective overflights from Afghanistan. This could allow our enemies breathing room to rebuild their networks in the region, and put us on a collision course with Islamabad on our efforts to fight them. At the very least, Feinstein has just complicated the diplomatic situation for Barack Obama by an order of magnitude.

The Christian Fascists Are Growing Stronger
Posted on Jun 7, 2010
By Chris Hedges
(Page 2)
Many of the tens of millions within the Christian right live on the edge of poverty. The Bible, interpreted for them by pastors whose connection with God means they cannot be questioned, is their handbook for daily life. The rigidity and simplicity of their belief are potent weapons in the fight against their own demons and the struggle to keep their lives on track. The reality-based world, one where Satan, miracles, destiny, angels and magic did not exist, battered them like driftwood. It took their jobs and destroyed their future. It rotted their communities. It flooded their lives with alcohol, drugs, physical violence, deprivation and despair. And then they discovered that God has a plan for them. God will save them. God intervenes in their lives to promote and protect them. The emotional distance they have traveled from the real world to the world of Christian fantasy is immense. And the rational, secular forces, those that speak in the language of fact and evidence, are hated and ultimately feared, for they seek to pull believers back into "the culture of death" that nearly destroyed them.
There are wild contradictions within this belief system. Personal independence is celebrated alongside an abject subservience to leaders who claim to speak for God. The movement says it defends the sanctity of life and advocates the death penalty, militarism, war and righteous genocide. It speaks of love and promotes fear of damnation and hate. There is a terrifying cognitive dissonance in every word they utter.
The movement is, for many, an emotional life raft. It is all that holds them together. But the ideology, while it regiments and orders lives, is merciless. Those who deviate from the ideology, including "backsliders" who leave these church organizations, are branded as heretics and subjected to little inquisitions, which are the natural outgrowth of messianic movements. If the Christian right seizes the legislative, executive and judicial branches of government, these little inquisitions will become big inquisitions.
The cult of masculinity pervades the movement. Feminism and homosexuality, believers are told, have rendered the American male physically and spiritually impotent. Jesus, for the Christian right, is a muscular man of action, casting out demons, battling the Antichrist, attacking hypocrites and castigating the corrupt. This cult of masculinity, with its glorification of violence, is deeply appealing to those who feel disempowered and humiliated. It vents the rage that drove many people into the arms of the movement. It encourages them to lash back at those who, they are told, seek to destroy them. The paranoia about the outside world is stoked through bizarre conspiracy theories, many championed in books such as Pat Robertson's "The New World Order," a xenophobic rant that includes attacks on liberals and democratic institutions.

Violence must be used to cleanse the world. These Christian fascists are called to a perpetual state of war. "Any teaching of peace prior to [Christ's] return is heresy…" says televangelist James Robinson.
Natural disasters, terrorist attacks, instability in Israel and even the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are seen as glorious signposts. The war in Iraq is predicted, believers insist, in the ninth chapter of the Book of Revelations, where four angels "which are bound in the great river Euphrates will be released to slay the third part of men." The march is inevitable and irreversible and requires everyone to be ready to fight, kill and perhaps die. Global war, even nuclear war, is not to be feared, but welcomed as the harbinger of the Second Coming. And leading the avenging armies is an angry, violent Messiah who dooms hundreds of millions of apostates to a horrible and gruesome death.
The Christian right, while embracing a form of primitivism, seeks the imprint of law and science to legitimate its absurd mythologies. Its members seek this imprint because, despite their protestations to the contrary, they are a distinctly modern, totalitarian movement. They seek to co-opt the pillars of the Enlightenment in order to abolish the Enlightenment. Creationism, or "intelligent design," like eugenics for the Nazis or "Soviet" science for Stalin, must be introduced into the mainstream as a valid scientific discipline—hence the rewriting of textbooks. The Christian right defends itself in the legal and scientific jargon of modernity. Facts and opinions, once they are used "scientifically" to support the irrational, become interchangeable. Reality is no longer based on the gathering of facts and evidence. It is based on ideology. Facts are altered. Lies become true. Hannah Arendt called it "nihilistic relativism," although a better phrase might be collective insanity.

Anyone think Atwood's "Handmaid's Tale"? I don't know if I agree this movement is as pervasive as Hedges, but I've personally been aware of this for years. Was living in Kansas when they took evolution out of the textbooks. I was stunned.

INHERIT, the christian fascist movement leaders consist of several promiment alcoholics such as Falwell, Hagard, Beck, Bush 2,McCarthy just name a few of the most promient. Hagee, Falwell attest to their gluttony, Falwell dying of gluttony.That alcoholics, drug addicts are clever at lying is now mystery as their lives used lying to manipulate and deceive people, family, friends and so forth. The success of the christian fascists is attributed to mindlessness, the inability to discern thoughts from facts. The institutions of government, business, pretend christians all use mindlessness which gives mindlessness legitimacy. This christians facist movement is foretold in the bible as the Beast, the One Worlder's System of globalization. The Seventh Day Adventists also prophetically predict it in their teaching,as the One Worlders. KERRYROSE, FYI; the Family blatantly endorses totalitarianism for us, they being the totalitarianist.Their heroes; Hitler, Stalin, Sukarno, Mussolini just to name a few. Their goal for the USA is fashioned from Indonesia under Sukarno or Suharto and they believe in the 10 Commandments for all others, excluding themselves. Sanford from South Carlonia,Ensign from Nevada, Vitter from Louisiana are FAmilites. Since recorded history power and control have been a preeminent motivation for men, who haven't even gotten over the fact of the female ovum existence, 150 year ago, and even the existence of dinosaur bones also about 150 years ago. The christians fascists are neo Platonists, disdaining science, whose teaching ushered in the dark ages which lasted 2000 years and ended only 500 years ago.

American Christians believe that after one dies they go straight to heaven and then they try to watch over and help their loved ones on earth. Anybody who claims that they go to hell is officially commiting a hate crime.

I got a cubic buttload of squishies today! DH just brought the mail up, so I'll go through them and post a list of whose F8's arrived in a little while. Good thing I cleared tonight's schedule! :lol:
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I got a cubic buttload of squishies today! DH just brought the mail up, so I'll go through them and post a list of whose F8's arrived in a little while. Good thing I cleared tonight's schedule! :lol:
Okay, from the Winter group, I received the following F8's:
Quilting Nurse
Sarah Fitz
I mailed everything Saturday so I am hoping to see people recieving them. Thanks for letting us know.
okay, here goes. F8's recieved from:
quilting nurse (me, too!!!!)
Sarah Fitz
Ok, here's my update. (And it's a doozy!)
I mailed all of the remaining squishies out today, and the others went out Friday and Saturday. A few have already posted that they have received them.
I was standing in line at the post office to check I had enough postage for my envelopes since the local post office told me they were all considered parcel packages and were a minimum of an extra dollar more. I don't think so, and headed to the other post office and was told they were all adequately stamped.
While standing in line I started to get a sharp pain on the right side of my back which got progressively worse over the next 20 minutes. I ended up driving myself to Urgent Care, placed on an IV with fluids and morphine because they said I have a kidney stone. Stayed there for a few hours and sent home with meds. Great!
So while I am recuperating, I will be stitching. Received squishies from:
PokerDiva roseysue
moonrise fromzstore
marcialee PaintmeJudy
Sarah Fitz
Wow, you gals are fast this time! I got F8 from fromzstore, moonrise, paintmejudy, pokerdiva, quilting nurse, sarah fitz, wendsy. Im a hugh fan of browns and blacks so just might keep PokerDivas and fromzstore!! Wish I could find something that stands out like that! Thanks everyone, will try to get mine mailed out next week. My twin brother and family have been here all week, havent seen him for 12 years so its been so busy and so much fun! I will need this weekend to rest! LOL
While you all are busy receiving your squishies, I have a mystery for you.
Today I received an F8 without any identification on it. I will show you what it looks like - really pretty and I know it's owner wants it to be grown up and received back.
The postmark was San Antonio, TX. Looking at Winter and Spring, there is one person (brenda 21)from Spring, and two people (alikat110 and missgigglewings) from Winter.
I will post a picture of the F8 below. I would hope someone would notice lacking of their F8. Please let me know if it is yours and then I will know where to send the grown up block
Sue G roseysue
F8 received by roseysue with no identification on it. Is there anyone who might know who's F8 this is?
My mailbox hit the jackpot - these are the F8's I received
I am now going to take my F8's to my stash and you all know what comes next...................
Now the fun begins! The best part is that it doesn't end for quite a while.
Sorry, roseysue...not mine. Nothing mailed out yet!
Problem Solved!!! I looked a little further inside the envelope and found a note from the owner of the mystery F8.Originally Posted by Roseysue
It is Missgigglewings. So if you open an envelope and it has the above fabric in it, look further on the envelope for a small piece of paper to answer your questions.

NY Senate Will Determine Fate of Medical Marijuana
Advocates cheered last week as the New York State Assembly approved a medical marijuana bill that would permit patients to possess small amounts of marijuana to treat approved medical conditions. The legislation also sets up licensed dispensaries to grow and sell the drug to sick people. A similar measure is moving slowly through the State Senate.
Assemblyman Kevin Cahill, of the Hudson Valley, voted with the majority of Democrats in the chamber, saying the measure would give "law abiding citizens" the chance to access needed medicine.
"This is the group that I'm most concerned with, Mr. Speaker," Cahill said during the debate. "Those people who will not even entertain the notion of the illegal use of marijuana just because it is illegal, not because it is not efficacious."
The measure even won some converts among Republican lawmakers. Assemblyman Steve Katz, who voted against the bill in the past, was stopped by police for allegedly possessing pot. The charges were later dropped. Since then, Katz, a veterinarian, has become an advocate for legalizing marijuana altogether, and has even invested in some marijuana businesses operating in states where the drug is legal.
"Over the past year, I've gone above and beyond to explore the beneficial aspects of medicinal cannabis and the surrounding industry," Katz said.
Opponents have said allowing medical marijuana would increase illegal use of the drug, and increase its appeal to children .
Assemblywoman Addie Russell, of Watertown, was one of the few Democrats to vote against the measure. She said she worries about the federal laws that continue to consider marijuana of any kind illegal.
"I have a real concern about putting caregivers in a difficult position," Russell said.
Russell's district is adjacent to Canada, and she said it's common for her constituents to cross the border and be subject to police searches. She said the consequences of possessing marijuana could result in very serious criminal charges against them.
The state senate's medical marijuana bill is sponsored by a member of the ruling coalition, Independent Democratic Conference member Senator Diane Savino, and has recently gained the support of maverick GOP Senator Mark Grisanti. Senator Savino has said repeatedly that the votes are there for passage if the measure came to the floor.
Meanwhile, Governor Cuomo offered a plan to allow marijuana to be dispensed at some hospitals in the state, as a pilot program, for a limited number of ailments.
But Cuomo's health department is still seeking permission from the federal government to begin. A spokesman said talks are "ongoing."

Meanwhile, Pete Snyder (by phone) and Rob Bell (or, to be precise, his campaign – by email) have informed me they, too, don't want a transportation plan that is also a tax increase.
So, for those keeping track, opponents of the McDonnell plan as-is (today, January 21, still an overall tax increase) are…
- For Attorney General: both Republican candidates (Obenshain and Bell)
- For Lieutenant Governor: Stimpson, Snyder, Jackson, and (according to Stimpson, via phone) Stewart,
but notand Lingamfelter (see comment below), but not Devolites-Davis, or Martin
- For Governor: None
We are still awaiting comments from the de facto Republican nominee for Governor – Ken Cuccinelli.
However, I, for one, will not wait silently much longer…

Groupon general counsel David Schellhase said the company is developing technology that will track customers' location, even if they don't have a Groupon app open on their phones, according to an August 10 letter to the co-chairmen of the House Bi-Partisan Privacy Caucus: Joe Barton, a Texas Republican, and Edward Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat.
Why are is the company building that technology? Because its what customers want. Further, says the company, it will require explicit "opt-in" which please Rep Markey.

Foursquare now lets you check in to events - games, concerts, movies... I for one am finding checking in way off the radar of late. Oh, and presdient Obama is now on Foursquare (another indication it's "out"?)

So, now that checking in is out (at least in my book) the Bing Team has an app for setting up a meetup: "We're in." It allows you to make the invitation to a group, then track everyone via status updates as they head to it (or bail out). For now it's a Windows Phone app and website, but the plan is to make it avaiable on other platforms.

I moved to Egypt in 2003, intent on recapturing the magic of a year I spent in Alexandria during a study year abroad. The study year abroad, and the decision to learn Arabic was itself guided by memories of the year I spent living in Egypt as a kid; the hours at the swimming pool with my cousins, the smell of wet dust when the sprinklers were turned on at dusk – almost always outside, never alone.
Most people were supportive of the decision because they thought it wouldn't last long. Also I was moving from Croydon, which made the decision far more understandable.
As one year turned into 2, and then 3 and then 8 I found myself assailed more and more frequently with questions about why the hell I would choose to live in Egypt when I have a European passport.
People were particularly flummoxed by my quest to get the Egyptian nationality in 2004 when a law was passed giving Egyptian women married to non-Egyptians (other than Palestinians) the right to confer nationality on their children. I was thrilled when I got my first green passport. Possibly the only Egyptian in history to experience such feelings, if a sample of my network is anything to go by. In addition to it being worthless, having the Egyptian nationality makes you more vulnerable they told me. It undermines the protection offered by my British passport, they said.
It got exhausting having to defend myself, again and again, particularly in response to the favourite argument of "you don't fully understand Egypt, you don't see its bad side, you haven't lived here long enough, you're not properly Egyptian and aren't fucked over by the country like we are".
Everyone's Egypt is different. My experience hasn't all been perfect. My work has exposed me to the very ugliest aspects of Mubarak's Egypt, and everyday life is frequently a series of needless and nonsensical battles. There is much darkness here. Live here long enough and it becomes unavoidable.
But I have stayed, and the thought of leaving always made me depressed. A friend (a doctor from Assiut who himself emigrated to the US, partly in despair at his future prospects in Egypt and strongly advised me to also get out) once challenged me to write a list of good things in Egypt. I tried, but they all seemed too personal, and stupid, or impossible to put in words. How do you describe indefatigable joy? How do you capture and convey spirit, spirit even in the cruelest sadness?
I've written on this blog about Egypt for five years now and I much of it is descriptions of injustice and tragedy, but I hope some of it has been the love letter to Egypt I meant it to be.
Tonight I watched Wael Ghoneim in a heart-breaking interview about his role in the uprising and the 12 days he spent in state security detention, and I felt vindicated. To be more accurate, I felt vindicated mid-afternoon on January 25th when thousands of us broke through security cordons and flooded into Tahrir Square and everything changed forever. And then again on Friday 28th when protestors fought and beat security bodies prepared to open fire on them while they were praying. And again last Wednesday, when protestors defended Tahrir Square from attacks by government-sponsored thugs for hours.
And I feel vindicated every time I enter Tahrir Square and find all the good in Egypt concentrated in one place. The day before yesterday I was standing on the wall which runs the perimeter of Tahrir's grassy island watching men sing and dance. It was a tight squeeze and I was standing dead close to a middle-aged lady clapping and singing. She tapped me on the shoulder, I thought she wanted to say something to me so I leant over. She kissed me on the cheek and went back to watching.

Is it possible that the Pope may resigning because he is not prepared to deal with a story documenting the existence of space aliens?
Yesterday was the story of a conspiracy theory video concerning the possibility that CIA Director nominee John Brennan was in some way blackmailing President Barack Obama.
This story officially ends conspiracy theory week as tomorrow reality once again takes center stage with a look at issues of actual concern to Americans, the state of the U.S. economy under Barack Obama! In many ways, however, reality is far stranger than space aliens.
The Pope, Russia and space aliens!
A stunning Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) report prepared for President Putin, which is circulating in the Kremlin today, states that Pope Benedict XVI was forced to resign this past week over Catholic Church fears that this 85-year-old leader of over 1 billion Christians was "mentally and physically unprepared" to deal with the coming revelation about the truth of alien beings.
In our 22 January report, Russia Orders Obama: Tell World About Aliens, Or We Will, we detailed how the issue of extraterrestrial beings was brought to the forefront of the World Economic Forum (WEF) with the naming in their 2013 Executive Summary of the danger posed to our world over the discovery of alien life with their stating: "Proof of life elsewhere in the universe could have profound psychological implications for human belief systems."

Swindon manager Paolo Di Canio is happy to continue breaking records, but only if his side win the league in the process.
Town recorded their seventh consecutive win this weekend, something that hasn't happened for 25 years, but the Italian insists it will be worthless if his side aren't crowned champions.
"The winning run doesn't mean anything unless we win the league, but it means everything if we win the league," he told the Wiltshire Gazette and Herald.
"Records are good to break but they have to be a part of the overall target.
"We could win the next three games and make it 10 successive wins - that has never happened before for Swindon - but if you do not win the league and do not have silverware then it counts for little."
Swindon's next opponents are promotion rivals Shrewsbury, but Di Canio joked he is unsure whether he will be able to return to the touchline following his two-game ban.
He added: "You never know what will go on before Tuesday, maybe they (The FA) will invent a reason to put me in the stands."

Foxproofing the box
Page Tools
It started when Joshua Montgomery and Sam Kimery went to a screening of Outfoxed in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Filmmaker Robert Greenwald's unflattering portrait of the Fox News Channel as a conservative propaganda outlet stirred them into action.
"Josh and I decided in the first 15 minutes of the show that we kind of have to do something," says Kimery, a 44-year-old technical writer who runs a small electronics company.
"It was obvious that there was something very wrong with calling what Fox does 'news'."
Montgomery, a 27-year-old aerospace engineer, adds: "The problem is they really misrepresent themselves as 'fair and balanced'."
So the partners created a strategy and a company. And if their product with the catchy name "the FOXBlocker" hasn't exactly become a household word, it has inspired a small group of activists opposing Fox News Channel to launch a unique boycott that may end up causing headaches for some cable operators.
The operation began by selling the FOXBlocker - a metal device about the size of a C battery that screws into the back of the TV and can filter out the Fox News Channel.
Montgomery says he and Kimery managed to move about 100 of the items by the end of last month, but at a huge loss.
So the anti-Fox brigades are trying a different tactic. About a year ago, the National Cable & Telecommunications Association announced that some cable companies would offer channel-blocking equipment free to any customer who does not have that capability.
Now the FOXBlocker website exhorts supporters to ask their cable company to come to their home to install a device to keep out the Fox News Channel.
The campaign was unveiled this month, Montgomery says, and more than 700 people participated in the first week. He figures that each trip to install a filter costs the cable company about $50 in parts and labour.
A spokesman for the cable association says the new FOXBlocker strategy adheres to the letter, if not the spirit, of the cable industry offer. He says the decision to offer free blocking was "launched over concerns about indecent content on television", not to respond to complaints about programming.
A spokeswoman for the Fox News Channel says the FOXBlockers are having no impact. "Clearly it's not working out, given that our ratings are skyrocketing," she says.
According to Nielsen Media Research viewing numbers for the first quarter of 2005, the Fox News Channel is dominating cable news in both prime-time and total day ratings, almost doubling the average audience of second-place CNN.
But the outlet continues to generate journalistic criticism. A study by the non-partisan Washington-based Project for Excellence in Journalism concluded that in cable news, "Fox was measurably more one-sided than the other networks and Fox journalists were more opinionated on the air".
The survey said that 68 per cent of the Fox News Channel stories analysed included "personal opinions" from Fox reporters.
Steve Rendall, senior analyst for the liberal watchdog group Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting, based in New York, says, "Do we endorse FOXBlocker? No, because we would like to see more diversity in cable broadcasting. We think viewers benefit from opinions they don't believe in."

Academic (Postdoc, PhD, and Master's) positions available for Tor-related research
As more anonymous communications and PETs researchers join the academic ranks, there is an increasing availability of Tor-related research positions at the postdoctoral, PhD, and Master's levels. (Note: we prefer the term "training of Highly Qualified Personnel" to "pyramid scheme".)
Steven Murdoch (at Cambridge) and I (at Waterloo) each have some such positions available. See information and links below.
- Ian
- PhD position at Cambridge
- Funding is available for a PhD student to work at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory, on the topic of privacy enhancing technologies and anonymous communications, starting in April 2012.
The sponsorship is jointly provided by Microsoft Research Cambridge and under the Dorothy Hodgkin Postgraduate Awards scheme. As such, applicants must be nationals from India, China, Hong Kong, South Africa, Brazil, Russia or countries in the developing world as defined by the Development Assistance Committee of the OECD.
The application deadline is soon (28 October 2011), so please circulate this advertisement to anyone who you think might find it of interest.
Further details can be found on the University website, and enquiries should be sent to <firstname.lastname@example.com>.
- PhD and Master's positions at Waterloo
- One of the particular focuses of the Cryptography, Security, and Privacy (CrySP) group at the University of Waterloo is research into privacy-enhancing technologies and anonymous communication networks. We have much ongoing work on Tor, with an eye to improving its security, privacy, scalability, and performance.
Students interested in applying for PhD and Master's research positions in the CrySP group should email Ian Goldberg <email@example.com> with "Tor research position" in the subject line.
- Postdoc position at Waterloo
- The Cryptography, Security, and Privacy (CrySP) research group at the University of Waterloo is seeking applications for a postdoctoral research position in the field of privacy-enhancing technologies, preferably on the topic of privacy-preserving communications systems. This position will be held in the Cheriton School of Computer Science.
Applicants must hold a PhD in a related field, and should have a proven research record, as demonstrated by publications in top security and privacy venues (such as Oakland, CCS, USENIX Security, and NDSS) and/or top venues specific to privacy-enhancing technologies (such as PETS).
The start date of the position is negotiable. The position may be for one or two years.
Applicants should submit a CV, a research plan, two or three selected papers, and the names and contact information of three references.
For further information about the position, or to apply, please send email to Ian Goldberg <firstname.lastname@example.com> with "Postdoctoral position" in the subject line. Applications may be considered as they arrive.
See http://crysp.uwaterloo.ca/prospective/postdoc/ for more information.
Please help chinese people. we can't connect to Tor for about 2 weeks
So what are the requirements for the Waterloo positions? A+ GPA?
Can I apply the position in Cambridge and Waterloo at the same time?
That will be fine from Cambridge's perspective, but I can't comment about Waterloo. At a later stage of the process you will be asked to say which other positions you are applying to, but that is not needed for the first stage.
How many students have contacted you about this Tor research position in Cambridge so far( I mean how many students I will compete with if I apply for pursuing the PhD degree in Cambridge)?
There have been plenty of applications, but most haven't included all the material requested in the advert. I'd guess that less than 10 actually are valid applications.
If we sent all the material including CV, Transcript, RP, and we got declined by University of Cambridge finally, will you notify us the result?
I'm still working on sending acknowledgements, but yes you'll get notified one way or another by the 4th of November.
I sent my application material in hurry once I have completed my draft in case that I won't miss the deadline. I am a little worried about the some grammar and editing error in my CV and Research Plan, do these errors have some negative impact on my application?
what does this sentence means:
Note: we prefer the term "training of Highly Qualified Personnel" to "pyramid scheme"
we do not understand it. could you explain it to us?
I sent my documents to Prof. Ian Goldberg on October 28th but I have not gotten any reply. Would you please let me know that in case of rejection you inform the sender or just ignore it?

underwear designed to change the shape of your body and make it look slimmer
'Shapewear couldn't do its job if it wasn't tight. Unfortunately, this leaves your stomach, intestine and colon compressed, which Dr. Kuemmerle says can worsen acid reflux and heartburn.'Huffington Post 20th January 2014
As someone who is rapidly approaching quintastic status and lacks the willpower to resist anything deliciously calorific, I confess that I have, from time to time, purchased undergarments intended for the purpose of concealing unwanted excesses. And it seems I'm not alone, since there's a thriving strand of the lingerie market dedicated to what's now referred to as shapewear.
like all quick fixes … shapewear has its downside, some medical experts suggesting that it may not be particularly healthy as it compresses internal organs and can cause digestive problems
Shapewear is simply underwear which is designed to temporarily alter the shape of the wearer's body, typically to flatten their stomach and make them look slimmer and more attractive in the outfit they're wearing over the top. Worn by women, it comes in various forms, from simple pants through to larger one-piece garments covering the thighs and/or upper body. Shapewear is usually made from Lycra™ or Spandex™, trademarked terms for a light material made from artificial fibres, which is stretchy but retains its shape.
Underpinning the success of shapewear is, of course, the idea that you can ditch the diet but still look fantastic in figure-hugging outfits by secretly tucking away excess fat into specially designed undergarments. In the early 21st century, the film version of the highly successful book Bridget Jones's Diary (Helen Fielding, 1996) did much to break down traditional taboos surrounding this concept, with its famous scene in which a prospective boyfriend has a close encounter with the eponymous Bridget's 'big pants'. The more recent fashion trend of body con (short for 'body conscious' and describing a style of tight-fitting women's clothing revealing contours of the body) also looks likely to have boosted the shapewear market.
Like all quick fixes, however, shapewear has its downside, some medical experts suggesting that it may not be particularly healthy as it compresses internal organs and can cause digestive problems. Those of us who find this a little off-putting might like to be aware of a couple of related neologisms. Anyone who prefers their weight loss to be a bit more permanent might consider the 5:2 diet, in which you starve yourself for two consecutive days and then eat normally for the other five. At the other end of the spectrum, those of us who would rather just throw caution to the wind might be tempted to commit carbicide, a humorous new word which describes an all-out binge on fattening foods.
Shapewear is a 21st century take on a concept dating back hundreds of years, originally epitomized by the corset, a stiff piece of underwear reinforced with wood or bone and used to give the appearance of a very small waist. The corset was later superseded by the girdle, a piece of very tight, body-shaping underwear worn from the early 1920s through to the 1960s. The word girdle today sounds rather old-fashioned and is disappearing from use in favour of more transparent terms such as body shaper, controlwear and shapewear. However, an alternative term which dates back to the 1940s but is still in contemporary use is waist cincher.
The combining form -wear, dating as far back as the 16th century, is highly productive in English and used in words indicating that clothing is suitable for a particular purpose (e.g. swimwear, nightwear), for a group of people (e.g. babywear, menswear) or for a part of the body (e.g. footwear, eyewear). Such words also sometimes indicate how or from what materials clothing is made (e.g. knitwear, leatherwear).

Posted 20 October 2011 - 01:12 PM #1
This is for everyone that plays Smurf's Village
I Originally got this method from an iphone site for the iphone version
The Hack will give you 1,025,535 Coins to start and 15,755,544 Smurf berries
it's a ton of smurf berries thta's why I say unlimited. I doubt anyone could use them all up.
Download this file Here http://db.tt/HsFaSwrp
First make sure the game isnt running because if it is it will automatically copy over the file
Go to the game and push back until it closes all the way
or you could restart your phone just to be sure
Using Es File Manager or Root Explorer Copy the file from the download folder on your sdcard and move it to the following folder on your phone
Overwrite default01.smurfmap
I have to go right now but ill be back later to explain in more detail and edit this post with a guide to do it yourself as well

I just applied this hack yesterday and it worked perfectly. I had even the latest update applied, the Christmas one and it worked.
It is sad that you have to start all over again but, hey 1,025,535 Coins and 15,755,544 Smurf berries is like to win the lottery in the Village!! Well worth it. Besides, I don't adhere to the hidden gambling and theft by Beeline, with their "little"charging for the Smurfberries... They are really the pirates.
For clarification purposes, I did exactly what wrxtc714 said:
1st) This hack is for android OS only.
2nd) Your phone has to be "rooted". Among other things, rooted means that you can access the "root" of the file system which is locked by default, to prevent less savvy users erase important files. (More info about rooting here: http://www.androidau...r-tablet-10915/)
3rd) You need to get the file default01.smurfmap made available by wrxtc714 in his/her post and copy it to your sd card.
4th) When your phone is rooted, you can use some special software like ES File Explorer (Free) or Root Explorer (Paid) to access the root ("/") of your phone file system. I have ES File Explorer and still I was not able to see the root, because I didn't know that I had to:
4a) Go to the settingsof ES File Explorer and change my "Home Directory" path from "/mnt/sdcard/" to "/"
4b) enable Root Explorer. and click Yes to the warning signs.5th) From inside ES File Explorer:
5a) go to your sdcard, look for the file you downloaded default01.smurfmap, long press, copy.
5b) Level up until you can not go any further ("/").
5c) Look for the "data" folder.
5d) Inside look for another "data" folder and
5e) Inside look for com.capcom.smurfsandroid and finally
5f) look for the "files" folder.
5g) inside. Click "paste". You will see a warning about overwriting. Click OK.
Start the game and... you won the lottery!!!!

especially thank you for the procedure.
Unfortunately, I do not know what I'm doing wrong aftermaking the previous procedure, I really added Smurfberries and all the coin, but the game quickly passes into the fourth round and then resets itself and returns to the first round.
Please advise what am I doing wrong?
Advance thank you very much for your answer

Epidemiological study of the impact of Whiplash on subsequent driver safety

Scholarly Evidence.
Administrators only
View at publisher (open access)
This research project involved two studies aimed to determine whether drivers who have experienced a traffic crash resulting in a Whiplash Associated Disorder (WAD) are at an elevated risk of a subsequent traffic crash.
Using data and records held by the Queensland Motor Accident Insurance Commission (MAIC) and Queensland Transport Crash Database (QTCD) the first study examined the crash involvement of two samples of drivers subsequent to a crash in which a compensable injury was incurred. One sample was of persons who had suffered a WAD, the second of persons with a soft tissue injury of equivalent severity. Since differentially altered driving exposure following the relevant injury in the two groups could be a potential confound, in the second study such exposure was estimated using survey data obtained from a sample of similarly injured drivers. These studies were supplemented by a brief analysis of qualitative data drawn from open-ended questions in the survey. In addition a comprehensive review of the literature on impaired driving due to similar medical conditions was undertaken and is reported.

Chicagoans took to the streets this week to hold the big banks accountable for crashing the economy and to demand city, state and federal policies that work for working families.
Read Whole Story
The only conclusion you can reach from reading Ron Suskind's Confidence Men, an informal history of Wall Street and the White House under Barack Obama, is one of childish rivalries, a lack of decisiveness and follow-through.
Two and a half years ago I would have given long odds that Ron Suskind's
book would provide me with a lot of the answers to the questions I had about why the Obama economic team chose the policies it did. Unfortunately, it does not.
James Carville may be right: Obama ran on hope and change. And right now we desperately need change.
Is it okay to firebomb villages, maim and kill innocent civilians and call these acts of domestic heroism because in the Oval Office the ideology they represent passes the smell test?
Ron Suskind, author of "The Price of Loyalty" and "The One Percent Doctrine," is out with a new book that includes CIA forgery of pre-war intelligence...
In less time than it takes to say "Dick Cheney," the secret Iraq letter -- what would be one of the most outrageous violations of the Constitution in the history of the Republic -- is made into a left/right issue.
What just happened? Evidence. A secret that has been judiciously kept for five years just spilled out. All of what follows is new, never reported in any way...
