Imagine you're a member of the media, and in your heart you believe that a major official wouldn't mind seeing you burn to death. Think that might affect the way you cover him?
A comment on this morning's "Early Show" by veteran CBS reporter Bill Plante, while perhaps intended to be light-hearted, pulled back the curtain on just how antagonistic the White House press corps believes VP Cheney to be toward them. But more importantly, it suggests how antagonistic they likely feel in return.
The topic was the Veep's accidental shooting of hunting partner Harry Whittington, and more particularly the very contentious press conference yesterday between the White House press corps and presidential spokesman Scott McClellan. Windows Media or Real Player
Plante claimed that:
"It's not about us, it's not about the reporters." Sure.
"It's about the fact that the White House is expected to disclose any information about what happens to the President, the Vice President, the administration, the national security as soon as they can.
Plante later added: In any other White House that I've covered, and that's several as you know, the Vice President would never have this kind of power [to control the flow of information]."
Plante then added his zinger:
"But if it were up to Dick Cheney, he wouldn't tell us if our shirts were on fire, for heaven's sake."
Plante ostensibly offered his comment as a metaphor for how closely the VP likes to guard information. But back in New York, Harry Smith broke into nervous laughter, perhaps aware that Plante had at the same time let the cat out of the bag on just how much the White House press corps disdains the Vice President of the United States.

OXFORD, Miss. (AP) - Linebacker Kyle Van Noy recovered a fumble in the end zone for the go-ahead touchdown as BYU came back to beat Mississippi 14-13 Saturday in the season opener for both teams.
BYU trailed 13-0 early in the fourth quarter, but Jake Heaps hit Ross Apo for a 19-yard touchdown with 9:52 remaining to pull within 13-7. Less than five minutes later, BYU's defensive pressure forced Ole Miss quarterback Zack Stoudt to fumble, and Van Noy jumped on the football to cap a stunning comeback.
Ole Miss led 3-0 at halftime and stretched it to 10-0 with 8:34 left in the third quarter on a 96-yard interception return for a touchdown by Charles Sawyer.
BYU won its first game as an independent after leaving the Mountain West Conference last year. Heaps completed 24 of 38 passes for 225 yards, one touchdown and one interception. The Cougars outgained the Rebels 318-208.
Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt had said that he hoped Saturday's game would be played in stifling heat and humidity since BYU comes from a more arid climate. But with Tropical Storm Lee looming, the weather was relatively pleasant, with highs in the 80s and overcast skies.
The first half was full of punts, defense and missed opportunities. BYU gained just 102 yards while Ole Miss managed just 93. Bryson Rose kicked a 20-yard field goal with 49 seconds left in the first half to give the Rebels a 3-0 halftime lead.
Ole Miss sophomore Barry Brunetti started at quarterback, but the Rebels couldn't do much with him under center. Part of that was because of an extremely conservative approach. Brunetti completed 2 of 3 passes for four yards before being pulled for Stoudt late in the second quarter.
Stoudt's presence immediately energized the Rebels. The 6-foot-4, 217-pound junior completed two passes for a combined 21 yards on his first drive, which ended in Rose's field goal just before the half. Stoudt finished 13 of 25 passing for 140 yards, but the crucial fumble is what most will remember.
But the Rebels really didn't get going until Sawyer's interception, which stretched the lead to 10-0 and was the program's longest interception return for a touchdown since 2007. Another Rose field goal stretched the Rebels' lead to 13-0 early in the fourth quarter and the program looked well on its way to a much-needed quality win after a dismal 4-8 season in 2010.
BYU had other ideas.
The Cougars kept pounding away, with a 69-57 advantage in offensive plays. By the fourth quarter, the Rebels' defense looked gassed, and didn't have an answer for the BYU offense. JJ Di Luigi rushed for 56 yards and also caught four passes for 32 yards.
But the biggest play was Stoudt's fumble. Three BYU defenders converged on Stoudt, slamming him to the turf as the ball popped loose. Van Noy took advantage of the opportunity, pouncing on the bouncing ball to lead the Cougars to the victory.

Term Definition
Workforce Management, which is sometimes referred to as Human Resources Management, is the process of balancing work needs with available resources. It is a planning and accountability framework enabling organizations to ensure that strategic objectives are met in an efficient, cost effective manner, while also balancing fairness in human resource management practices.
Workforce Management Planning topics include but are not limited to payroll and benefits; recruitment and training; performance management; time and attendance, and other Human Resources procedural components such as redundancy, classification, transfers and relocations. Workforce Management enables organizations to align their strategic priorities and objectives with their human resources. The benefits of Workforce Management are realized in cost and time efficiencies. Overstaffing and understaffing both result in time and cost inefficiencies. Understaffing also has the added impact of reducing quality and service and as such, directly impacting revenue. However, when staffing levels accurately meet the work projections, organizations save money and have a happier workforce both of which result in better quality and service to its customers.
To achieve operational efficiency, organizations must be able to measure, track and quickly report time, attendance and expenses. Real-time analytics help organizations to identify non-performing projects, minimize bench time and control expenditures and revenues. Utilizing technology to automate these processes is a great benefit. The ability to access real-time information will help project managers to be more effective. It also enables expedited reporting to customers on project status.
Workforce Management is not simply managing the current labor needs but planning for future needs as well. Contingency planning and succession planning are critical aspects of workforce management. One area of workforce management that has been receiving greater attention recently is disaster planning. Contingency planning is at the heart of disaster preparedness. Disaster planning is not confined to frontline response organizations such as hospitals, but organizations must also plan how they will continue to run their business in the event of a disaster.

Roy Cummings of the Tampa Tribune joined Marc Ryan to discuss the Bucs hole at guard and what they will do to address it.
Cummings said we have to remember that after one preseason game the Bucs aren't going to be that sharp. There's a new head coach, new system and new players and this is a process.
Cummings said that the offensive line isn't an unsolvable problem. Cummings said that the Bucs are likely looking to their young guys like Kadeem Edwards to step up in the starting role. Cummings also said that he thinks the Bucs interest in 49ers guard Alex Boone is very real. They've likely contacted the 49ers and are probably looking around the league to bring in someone who can compete for a starting spot on the line.

Is it safe to put garlic in my dogs food, I heard it keeps fleas and ticks off but is it okay for there tummies?
I have been adding powdered garlic into every few meals and it has been keeping fleas and ticks off, but I heard garlic is not good for dogs and that it is good for them from different resources.

It is actually the green part of fresh garlic that CAN be toxic. My two labs (one is 100lbs and one is 80lbs) each get about 1/2 TBLS of air dried garlic that I get from www.springtimeinc.com daily and I have not seen a flea or tick all season - we live in WI. Their coats are also super shiny and I've hear that it is wonderful for their immune systems as well.
Hope this helps!

'Grand Masti' has finally done it. The adult movie has gone on to make enough moolah at the box-office to become a member of the 100-crore-club. We take a look at the most popular Bollywood adult movies over the years.
Starring Rekha, Amjad Khan, Shashi Kapoor and Shekhar Suman – 'Utsav' is an adaptation of a Sanskrit drama called 'Mrichchhakatika' (The Little Clay Cart) about a courtesan and her chance meeting with a poor Brahmin man in Ujjain. The movie received a National Film Award for Best Art Direction. © S.P. Creations
Based on French realist Gustave Flaubert's 'Madame Bovary', 'Maya Memsaab' stars Shah Rukh Khan, Raj Babbar, Farooq Shaikh and Deepa Sahi. The movie is best remembered for its controversial nude scene with Deepa Sahi – as well as Sahi and SRK's erotic scenes. © Forum Films
A movie that won for Rekha both a Star Screen Best Actress Award as well as criticism from the audience for playing a married woman-turned-prostitute, 'Aastha: In the Prison of Spring' and its success gapped the bridge between Indian arthouse and commercial cinema. Also starring Om Puri, this movie is especially remarkable for its explicit love scenes. © Aarohi Film Makers
Adapted from the Polish film 'A Short Film About Love', ECSLS is about a teenager's voyeuristic love for an older neighbor. Starring Manisha Koirala, Aditya Seal and Ranvir Shorey, this movie created a lot of controversy when Koirala asked for a stay order, saying that some objectionable shots in the movie were done by an impersonator. © Sun Film
Bipasha Basu and her then boyfriend, John Abraham, made for a sizzling on-screen chemistry in this erotic thriller. Abraham's debut movie, 'Jism' won a host of awards for its music as well as acting performances – and is included in the top 100 sexiest movie scenes. © Fish Eye Network
Jumping on the bandwagon that was the flurry of homoerotic romances in Bollywood, 'Girlfriend' was a tale of a jealous girlfriend who despises her lover taking on a boyfriend. With Amrita Arora and Isha Koppikar in lead roles, this movie made a huge controversy when it was released because of its subject of lesbianism.
With numerous awards and a lot of positive reviews, 'Dev.D' has gone on to become a cult movie and a jewel in the filmography of Anurag Kashyap. Tackling the new-age romances of three very different young people by taking the original 'Devdas' for inspiration – this is one of the best movies of this list. © Anurag Kashyap Films
One of the highly anticipated adult movies of this year was Poonam Pandey-starrer 'Nasha' – which told of, once again, a young boy infatuated with an older woman. The movie did not do great business when it was released, but it was not for lack of publicity – whereby the posters caused enough controversy before the release. © One Line Cinema
A Hindi neo-noir movie, 'B.A. Pass' was a big hit in film festivals – and garnered much positive reviews commercially as well. Based on the short story 'The Railway Aunty', the movie tells about a young college-goer's romantic affair with an older 'aunty' and what conspires after. © Tonga Talkies
The latest film 'Grand Masti' has the honor of becoming the first adult movie to become a part of the coveted 100-crore club. With box office earnings crossing 100 crores in a fortnight, the sequel to 'Masti' might usher in a new category of expensive adult movies in Bollywood.

One of my 2 cats has decided to stop using the litter box and do their business either near the box or in the shower.
The cat that has decided to use the anything but the litter box has also lost a lot of weight over the past year. We brought her to the Vet and were told she had a mild thyroid issue but it was not a big deal. She refused all methods of taking the medication (even if we did manage to get her to ingest the pill, she would end up throwing it up anyway (oh, she rarely keeps food down). She is 13 years old. She also has become more "outgoing" as well as agressive, especially at mealtime. Before I rush her back to the vet, is there anything that I can do to at least curb the bathroom going outside the litter? Could this be a much bigger/medical related problem than we thought? (it's been 6 months since she was last at the vet). Thanks!

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
Older cats can suffer from a dementia-like condition, much as elderly humans can. If she was put on medication and did not take it or manage to keep it down, it didn't do her any good and she basically received no treatment for any health issues. If she is continually vomiting, she is not receiving any nourishment from her food and this could be why she is losing weight. There are several things you mention in your question that require a consultation with your vet. Her thyroid issues may have become more severe in 6 months without medication. This could all relate to her litter box issues. You may also want to put out more litter boxes for her so that there is always one nearby her.

It happens more often than you might think: A family plans a Disney vacation a year or more in advance. Deposits are paid. Itineraries are poured over. The kids are excited. And then, right in the middle of planning, they find out they're expecting another child. Do they cancel their vacation or do they keep on planning? While your first thought might be to cancel and reschedule a year or two later, the fact is that taking an infant to Disney World is actually quite easy. Sure, you'll have to do a little extra planning, but taking a member of the under-one crowd is actually easier than taking a rambunctious toddler who wants to run everywhere.
Probably the biggest decision you'll make when travelling with an infant will be your sleeping arrangements. My thoughts? Get all the space you can afford. Even babies who normally sleep through the night may change their sleep patterns in an unfamiliar place. If it's just you and your partner, it's not that big of an issue; you're probably not getting much sleep anyway. But if there are other children in the room or if you are travelling with extended family, you're going to want some space so that those who aren't getting up at night with the baby can actually sleep. I usually prefer to stay on site, but you pay a premium for extra space on Disney property. This is when an off site rental home or condo with a full kitchen and several bedrooms can be a great idea.
By the time your baby was just a few weeks old, you probably discovered that babies don't travel light: You need diapers, wipes, food, and an extra change of clothes just to drive to the grocery store. Babies simply don't vacation without a lot of "stuff." The great thing about Orlando is that it's super kid friendly, so you'll find everything you need fairly easily, if not cheaply. Most hotels provide cribs free of charge. Disney provides Pack N Plays at all resorts. They also have a limited number of cribs at some resorts. Both Pack N Plays and cribs at Disney resorts are sturdy and in good condition. Most rental homes will have a crib and a highchair for you to use, although it's a good idea to check in advance, particularly if you're renting from an individual owner rather than a rental agency. If you need to rent a crib or other baby gear, I've had good luck with Orlando Crib Rentals. I've also heard good things about Orlando Stroller Rentals (strollers only) and A Baby's Best Friend. All three are locally-owned companies with excellent reputations in the area. Most stroller/crib rental companies have a three-day/$50 minimum and a 10-day cancellation policy. All deliver to your resort, free of charge. Try to make your reservation at least two weeks in advance.
Fortunately, you don't have to drag all of your baby's supplies with you on the plane. If you have a rental car, the nearest Super Target from Disney property is at 3200 Rolling Oaks Boulevard, just off I-192/Irlo Bronson Highway. If you don't have a car or prefer not to drive, you can have diapers and other supplies delivered right to your resort from companies like Babies Travel Lite and Jet Set Babies. Both offer convenient travel packages or you can customize based on your needs, but you'll pay a premium for this service. You an also order baby supplies from Garden Grocer, a company I've mentioned previously on this site. I've used with them several times and think very highly of them.
As for getting around on property, I always take my own stroller, even if I'm flying. It makes getting through the airport and from the parks to the parking lot easier. It's also cheaper. By the time you pay for a week's rental, either through Disney or an off site company, you've likely exceeded the cost of an inexpensive stroller. You can rent strollers in all four parks for around $15 a day for a single stroller, but I don't recommend them for infants. They are too large for babies and are made of uncomfortable hard plastic. You might want to consider bringing a lightweight sling or baby carrier that you can store in the stroller basket. Not only will your baby appreciate having a different view and being close to you, but you can carry her more easily while waiting in line. I even kept my Bjorn on during rides like It's a Small World. Since it's often hot in Orlando, consider choosing a carrier made for use during hot weather. Maya Wrap makes a sling for hotter climates or if you want your hands free, Baby Bjorn makes a mesh carrier.
Probably one of the most difficult problems you'll encounter is getting on and off buses and trams. You'll need to remove your child from her stroller and fold the stroller to use the trams, buses and the resort launches. Disney drivers will wait for you to do this, but it's a good idea to have a system down so you don't hold up your fellow passengers too much. You can keep baby in the stroller on the ferry, the monorail, and Friend Ships between Epcot and Hollywood studios. Having your own car can alleviate some of the stress you might encounter trying to drag a stroller on buses, but it's not necessary by any means. If you're really worried about getting around, consider staying at a monorail resort which gives you easy access to the Magic Kingdom or at one of the Epcot resorts, which will allow you to use the Friend Ships or walk to Epcot. Be forewarned: These resorts are pricey.
Practicalities aside, how do you tour a Disney park with an infant? Well, it's different. Forget the complete commando Disney experience: You'll only frustrate yourself trying to keep the pace you normally would. Slowing down a bit can have it's advantages as you'll see and experience things you might normally miss. This may be trip where you find a quiet spot and perfect the art of people watching, a thoroughly enjoyable activity in the World.
Obviously, infants are limited as to what they can enjoy in the parks. Even attractions that don't have a height restriction can be inappropriate for infants, such as the Haunted Mansion. Nonethesless, all parks have several attractions most babies will find enjoyable. In the Magic Kingdom, Winnie the Pooh and It's a Small World are huge hits. In Epcot, there are several slow rides that infants tend to enjoy, including the ever popular Living Seas with Nemo. Hollywood Studios has great shows and I've seen many infants strapped into a baby carrier or sling on on Toy Story Midway Mania. Keep in mind that strollers are not allowed in line without at Guest Assistance Card (for children and adults with disabilities) so you'll need to park it in one of the many stroller parking areas you see around the parks.
You may want to avoid especially loud shows like Mickey's Philharmagic. While there's nothing scary in this attraction, it's loud and can alarm even older children. On the other hand, some rides that normally frighten toddlers are just amusing to babies who haven't yet figured out that the scary old witch glaring at them is supposed to frighten them. Let your baby's personality be your guide in iffy situations like this. Some seemingly innocuous rides are actually quite frightening for young children (i.e., Stitch's Greatest Escape) so if you're in doubt, ask a Cast Member. Don't forget that you can trade off baby watching duties with members of your party and still ride the attractions you're interested in by using the "baby swap," which essentially allows members of switch off parenting duties while the other rides without having to wait in line twice Mouse Planet has a great article that describes, by attraction, how it works.
What to pack for a day at the parks? Well, first of all, if you forget everything (which you won't), you can buy supplies at the Babycare Centers located in each park. You'll pay slightly more than you'd pay outside the park and the selection is more limited (diaper sizes in particular), but should you forget some indespensible item, you can usually find it there. If you're not nursing, bring formula, a few bottles and some bottled water (although the water from the drinking fountains is just fine) and, if your baby is at that stage, food. Sunblock for older babies is a must, as is several changes of clothing, diapers and lots and lots of wipes. Even if you normally don't use a stroller, consider using one in the parks. I prefer not to carry a diaper bag in the parks. It just gets in the way. Instead, I store the bulk of what I bring in the basket under the stroller. Remember not to leave valuables in your stroller and if you're worried about stroller theft (exceedingly rare, but it happens), invest in a stroller lock.
It can be difficult to find quiet places for baby to nap and nurse in the parks. In the Magic Kingdom, the Tomorrowland Transit Authority and Carousel of Progress are practically famous among nursing mothers as quiet, discreet places for baby to nurse. The walkway that goes from Toon Town around the back of Tomorrowland has benches and is often deserted. Animal Kingdom has some lovely, quiet areas. And Epcot, which is so large that it rarely seems crowded, has lots of benches around the World Showcase Lagoon where you can sit and relax. On our last trip, my twins slept on the Friend Ship from Epcot to Hollywood Studios and there's no denying that the monorail between Epcot and the Magic Kingdom is a great place for a quick nap.
One final thing. You're going to love the babycare centers. They're clean, comfortable and quiet and the Cast Members are great. You can change your baby, allow them to safely crawl around and stretch their legs, nurse, and eat.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I was wondering that too Laura,
I thought it was longer: it was definitely a harder course with the few changes they made!
My time was also down on previous years, which I just put down to the new terrain, but would be interested to know if anyone measured it.
At least the water wasn't as cold as in previous years (i.e. no ice on the bog of doom)
Just over 9 - forgot to stop my Garmin.....but was also 5 minutes slower due to course changes making many bits un-runnable...!
I was 6 mins slower - if i'd ran the same time I'd be in top 100 - the walk points were many as they are so narrow....think they went a little too far this time - and as for the barbed wire fence at the bottom of the hill!!FFS. Not impressed with the mass 'wrong way' at the start - seems we were supposed to do dunes first - that would have been a killer....
Garmin's don't tend to record distance on v steep hills as GPS thinks you are stationary...
Nope - my wife asked - thus why the usual photographer wasn't on the bridge....not sure how many did go the right way in the end.....I just went the way we always go....
That explains it about the stop start at the begining then. I emailed trail plus this morning and they confirmed the route was 10 miles althugh would be interected to know the ascent and descent figures ..
I have 9.26 on my garmin. Distance wise it felt about the same, maybe even a touch shorter than last year. I seemed to be at the bog of doom a lot sooner this year - and then more distance in the dunes - although the dunes for me we horrific so it took an age. I didn't have my garmin last year so can't be sure though.
I was 4 minutes slower this year but a fair way up the field compared to last year. I think that's testament to how tough it was. I really enjoyed the crazy steep stuff though. From a background of skiing and climbing, jumping down 45 degree slopes feels natural ... no barbed wire though.
I though the photographer at the start was just having a joke about the wrong direction.
same here - I was surprised to see such a low mileage on my garmin & had to conclude that it was either struggling to keep track through some of the wooded sections or/and it was the climbs & descents that it couldn't measure. This was my 3rd & I still have a love/hate thing when it comes to the cold deep water. Am glad to have got away towards the front & avoided most of the queing, it sounds like there were a few issues for some but I for one think it was really well put together & will very likely return for more punishment
Didn't realise we had gone the wrong way! Course was certainly different this year - more deep water and those hills!! Definitely more dunes too.
Garmin said 9.24miles this year.
Last year it reckoned 9.22 miles.

Self-portrait of Saul Sorrin, area director of the International Refugee Organization, dining at his former house in Munich. Saul Sorrin was interviewed as part of the Wisconsin Survivors of the Holocaust Interviews project. Sorrin, born in New York in 1919, applied in 1940 for a position with the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA). He worked with Holocaust survivors as a supply officer for UNRAA team 560 at the Displaced Persons camp Neu Freimann Siedlung in Germany and later, at General Dwight D. Eisenhower's recommendation, Sorrin became the Area Director of the International Refugee Organization based at the Wolfratshausen DP camp in Bad Kissingen. When asked about this image, Sorrin revealed, "Since I'd become a first-rate trencherman, I decided to pose this picture at the head of the table in our staff mess in my house. This is on the Klementinenstrasse by the Englischgarten in Munich. This is a house which had been taken from a high-ranking Nazi by the name of Von Schrerien. He has been the finance minister of Bavaria. We had about a dozen people or eight people who came to our mess every day, whenever it was possible. It was probably a dinner hour. I see we got the plates out here. We had a staff including a Jewish cook, the cousin of a friend of mine, a survivor from Vilna and she made us all kosher-style foods. There was kosher food available for the Jewish survivors who were kosher. And she made chicken and fish and whatever and cholnt and all those good dishes. I think from the time she came, really, I'm serious, in about six months I must have picked up about twenty pounds. In this picture I'm still fairly slender. I look very much like my son, Leonard, on this picture. You haven't ever seen my son. Just unbelievable. He's now twenty-six, exactly my age then, about twenty six."

Five Things You Don't Know About Me
posted at 2:20 pm

Monique tagged me with a meme. I can only assume that the consequences will be bloody and dire if I don't participate (think Reservoir Dogs meets The Ring).
So, here they are: Five Things You Don't Know About Me:
1. My PIN
2. My gym locker combination
3. My ... what's that? Not interesting enough? OK, let me start again.
1. As a child, I played D&D, and then AD&D. I was not the first one at my elementary school (a school for the gifted, i.e. dork daycare) to play, but I was the first to play ridiculously, and I was the first to have a 456th level paladin. You see, if you kill a certain Norse God, you get a LOT of experience points. No one had thought of fighting a God before, and no one had bribed the Dungeon Master to win. So suddenly I had a character that has about 438 more levels than anyone else.
Arms races being what they are, there was soon a whole bunch of characters that were 457th level, 458th level, etc. running around. Then shortly thereafter, everyone switched to Runequest or something and my character got stuck leading the donkey. But for a while, I was top (D&D) man on campus. And I learned the important lesson that you can be best if you can be first.
2. My absolute favorite thing about my garage, is that I have a tennis ball hung from a rope above my windshield that tells me exactly when I have pulled in far enough. This reminds me of my grandfather's garage, and the times I spent in there playing with water pistols and helping him to drive his riding lawnmower.
3. I objected to using my social security number as my driver's license number when I got my driver's license in Kalispel, Montana when I was 16. I was the first in that office's history, and perhaps one of the only people in Montana ever to object. The woman behind the counter said she'd never had anyone object before, and she had to look up how to deal with it. My Dad thought I was odd.
I ended up getting a number that was some standard code based on my birthdate, the issuing office and the day I got the license. The number was still totally guess-able, but I struck a blow for information privacy back in 1988. Of course, my student ID at USC was my SSN, because they wouldn't make an exception for me.
(Footnote: These days, they still "let" you (encourage you, actually) to use your SSN as your driver's license, but you have to check a box on the application that expressly allows this use—and you now HAVE to provide a SSN at the time of application so they can "make sure you're not a deadbeat dad.")
4. I don't have a non-wife best friend right now. I wish I did.
5. Something that a few people know but you'll probably still get a kick out of: In college, I once reported to the police that my car had been stolen.
A few days later, a friend called and asked me if my car was license plate "ABC 123" or what ever. I said, "Yes, why, did you find where the thieves left it?"
She said, "Yes, they left it parked on campus in the lot near where you work." Apparently, I'd forgotten that I'd driven it to campus that weekend instead of walking. And then I'd walked home.
When I drove to the police station to rescind my report I joked with the officer that things like that must happen a lot. He said, "No, they don't," and stared at me without smiling as I filled out the rest of the forms.

By Nate Ryan, USA TODAY
CHARLOTTE The successes of Hendrick Motorsports, which is marching toward a fourth consecutive Sprint Cup championship and has 185 victories, are well documented.
But there also have been many dark chapters for team owner Rick Hendrick, who lost his brother, a son and several key employees in a plane crash, survived a bout with leukemia and pleaded guilty to mail fraud (and later was pardoned).
All are chronicled — sometimes in excruciating detail for the first time — in Together: The Hendrick Motorsports Story, which charts the 25-year history of NASCAR's most powerful team. The emotionally raw documentary, which will be shown in a one-hour version Sunday at 1:30 p.m. on ABC, was made with the blessing of Hendrick, who struggled with its candor before team spokesman Jesse Essex convinced him excluding personal elements wouldn't be telling the whole story.
"Do you pretend like the crash never happened, like I never got sick, like I didn't go through the legal problems?" Hendrick said at the movie's premiere last week. "If we didn't tell it all like it happened, then we were phony and I would be ashamed of it."
Hendrick wasn't so proud of his first foray into filmmaking as a consultant on the 1990 Tom Cruise vehicle Days of Thunder. Together reunites him with Cruise (the narrator) but avoids the cartoonishness where Days of Thunder "got off track and out of hand," Hendrick said. The documentary forgoes on-track highlights in favor of confessional interviews and rare footage to tell the story, much of which is carried by Hendrick's wife, Linda, and daughter, Lynn Carlson, talking about the plane crash that killed Ricky Hendrick, team president John Hendrick, his two daughters, Hendrick engine builder Randy Dorton, general manager Jeff Turner and four others. Carlson, who gives a tearful eulogy at the memorial service, said her reaction was, "We're not a family anymore."
Fox analyst Darrell Waltrip, who won the 1989 Daytona 500 with Hendrick, said Together made him cry like a baby. "You laughed, you cried, you felt proud, robbed, disappointed. Even the indictment, that was the most embarrassing thing to happen to him. But he is man enough not to ignore it."
Not all of the surprises are about Hendrick. Jeff Gordon reveals he wanted to hide from the news media early in his career and explains how Hendrick helped him through his 2002 divorce. "He got me a lawyer," Gordon says. Hendrick (who advised the four-time champion, "Don't hit her, don't leave her, don't get caught with your britches down," and said, "He did one but forgot the other two.") also allowed Gordon to live in a spare bedroom.
"It was so weird to see him in jeans and a T-shirt saying he's going to the mall," Hendrick said. "It was, 'OK, son, see you later.' "
Together has lighthearted moments, too, including star Tim Richmond (who died of complications from AIDS in 1989) dancing in an all-female aerobics class. The movie's final frame is a self-deprecating shot of Hendrick awkwardly scaling the pit wall at Martinsville Speedway ("that was so pathetic it might motivate me to lose some weight"). It's a fitting ending for a film that shows Hendrick hasn't had it easy in ascending to NASCAR's pinnacle.
"Nothing is Hollywood (or) flowered up," he said. "I am hoping the fans will like it, because it's true."

A look into beauty, that doesn't harm our furry friends
I almost feel silly writing about this haul now, as I purchased all these products over a month ago. I went Rite-Aid when they were having a promotion of BOGO 1/2 off, and I was finally reunited with my Wet n' Wild products. These shadows have gotten rave reviews in the beauty community, and I just couldn't help myself. Slowly but surely I'm becoming more bold with my eyeshadow looks, incorporating more complex techniques and reaching for colors that are outside my neutral-comfort zone. I think with all these varying colors and shades in my collection, I can stop buying shadows for a while. Seriously, I am at the point where I think I have -way- too much. I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking, but seriously these shadows are beautifully pigmented, nice and creamy, and last throughout the day when paired with a primer. There's at least one for every person out there. As for me, it turned out that I had 4 palettes and 2 singles, heh!

A Contemporary Roost on Lake Weir
The Nest on Lake Weir •
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in a King Room, Fridays and Saturdays ($223)
- Or, a Three-Night Stay for Two in a King Room, Sundays through Thursdays ($271)
The Destination
Ocklawaha, Florida, offers lush forests and scenic waterfront vistas along the the 5,000-acre Lake Weir, a popular playground for boaters and outdoor enthusiasts. Just 62 miles northwest of Orlando and 20 miles south of Ocala, this quaint community is a much-needed refuge from the bright lights and big crowds. Silver Springs and Ocala National Forest—a favorite for hiking, biking, and bird watching—are only minutes away.
The Digs
Situated underneath the majestic oaks on the banks of Lake Weir, The Nest on Lake Weir features modern touches that are both aesthetically pleasing (wide plank floors, high ceilings, and airy décor) and convenient (a flat-screen TV, iPod listening station, and a wet bar with a microwave and mini refrigerator). You'll be tempted to roost here all day, lounging in the 350 thread-count linens, sinking into the Adirondack chairs outside, or soaking in the Jacuzzi tub. When you are ready to explore more of your habitat, there are multiple alternatives for enjoying the inn's two lush acres and beach.
The Diversions
Rent a pontoon boat and explore the lake, or paddle around on The Nest's complimentary kayaks or stand-up paddle boards. As the day starts to wind down, start a game of bocce ball or gather on the inn's large front deck for prime sunset viewing before heading to Gator Joe's Beach Bar & Grill or Eaton's Beach Sandbar & Grill, two excellent lakefront eateries with mouthwatering menus.
"Excellent accommodations, recently remodeled with the finest appointments. Water sports available and Gator Joe's is an excellent restaurant close by! Very quiet and relaxing!"-- LivingSocial Member

A murder suspect from Texas was critically injured Thursday afternoon after he crashed his vehicle on the Kansas Turnpike in Sumner County. KAKE news reports that 27-year-old Anthony Ford is hospitalized in Wichita under guard. He is a suspect in the stabbing death of a Mansfield Texas woman that occurred last weekend.
Authorities had been looking for Ford since a 23-year-old woman was found dead in her apartment late Saturday.
Kansas Highway Patrol Troopers spotted the suspect vehicle, a Pontiac Grand Am, around 2 p.m. Thursday heading southbound on the turnpike near Belle Plaine. Troopers tried to stop the car by Wellington, but the driver fled, reaching speeds of 110 to 120 miles-per-hour.
Near the stateline, Fords car left the roadway, flipped on its top and caught fire. He was freed and taken to a hospital.

Scientific Labs
Sensory evaluation is made possible by the senses of taste, smell, touch and hearing when food is eaten. When people are used as a measuring instrument, it is necessary to control the testing conditions as much as possible. This is why P&K places such importance on having the right booths, filtered water, special lighting, etc. In addition, every product is stored, prepared and served in the same way to insure consistency. These tools and methods help us to standardize procedures and eliminate as many variables from the testing process as possible. We ask each test subject to evaluate the product that they are presented with on characteristics such as appearance, flavor, texture, etc. without any outside influences. In other words, we want each test subject to evaluate the "same" product. Even if we prepare "product A" 100 times, we want it to be prepared in the same manner every time.
Always the Right Evaluation Method
Sensory Evaluation can be divided into three types: trained experts, laboratory panels and large consumer acceptance panels. Evaluations by experts and trained laboratory panels are used mainly by a client to guide product development and improvement and also for quality control. At Peryam & Kroll, we work primarily with consumer acceptance panels. Large consumer acceptance panels are used to determine a consumer's reaction to a product. When dealing with consumer acceptance panels, the approach is opposite to that of trained experts and laboratory panels. When people are trained to evaluate specific characteristics of a product, they are no longer a typical consumer. We want the consumer to be "naďve." We are gathering information based on what the consumer thinks of a product. We want their impressions, opinions, likes and dislikes.
Audited Confidentiality
Due to the fact that most of the products we work with are under development, it is imperative that the brand and manufacturer names and types of products we are testing never be disclosed to a tester or to anyone else. P&K always refers to the product as instructed and never influences a tester's evaluations by disclosing the name of the company that manufactured the product. This is especially true when conducting one-on-one interviews.
Security Ensured
Confidentiality is of great importance to P&K. Participants in a given test are always asked to read and sign a confidentiality form.

I'll keep fighting, declares Ukraine's PM
Page Tools
Viktor Yanukovich has launched a new tilt at the prime ministership.
Photo: AFP
Viktor Yanukovich has broken his silence to say that he will again contest the race for president.
Ukraine's Prime Minister, Viktor Yanukovich, has broken two weeks of silence to declare that he will stand in a repeat of last month's presidential election against Viktor Yushchenko on December 26.
Mr Yanukovich, whose earlier victory was stripped from him by a Supreme Court order, made his announcement at his campaign headquarters, ending speculation that he might drop out of the race.
Since the first run-off vote on November 21, he had virtually ceded the public eye to Mr Yushchenko, who drew hordes of supporters into the streets, challenged the results of the ballot and won a court verdict that the election was riddled with violations and therefore invalid.
"I have a choice to withdraw or to fight. My decision is to continue to battle because behind me are millions of people," the embattled Prime Minister told a small group of aides and reporters in an almost empty auditorium.
The crisis has put the West at odds with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who had openly backed Mr Yanukovich, but on Monday Mr Putin said he would work with any elected leader.
Mr Yushchenko has yet to call off the occupation of Kiev's Independence Square and blockades of several government buildings, but the number of protesters has been declining since Friday, the day the Supreme Court issued its ruling. The demonstrations are likely to end within a day or two, Yushchenko supporters said.
On Monday, the parliament neared agreement on a package of electoral reforms as well as changes in the constitution that would reduce the power of the presidency. Mr Yushchenko had resisted the transfer of responsibilities to the office of the prime minister.
Opposition and government officials said the tentative deal called for the changes to come into effect in September, nine months after the new president takes power. In return, President Leonid Kuchma, who backed Mr Yanukovich as his successor, will fire Mr Yanukovich and his cabinet, as demanded by the parliament. He will also dismiss the Central Elections Commission that oversaw the invalidated run-off and ban absentee balloting and home voting.
'My decision is to continue to battle because behind me are millions of people.'
- Viktor Yanukovich, Prime Minister
In another sign that tension was subsiding, Mr Kuchma's spokeswoman, Olena Hromnytska, quoted the President as saying that the High Court decision should be fulfilled. Mr Kuchma said during a cabinet meeting that he would sign electoral reform laws if they were presented to him in a package with the legislation reducing presidential powers.
A further signal of accommodation came from Mr Putin when he said he would work with any elected leader. Mr Putin campaigned openly for Mr Yanukovich and recently chastised pro-Yushchenko demonstrators, saying the seizure of power through street protests was unacceptable.
Anna Herman, a spokeswoman for Mr Yanukovich, said he was trying to distance himself from Mr Kuchma, his patron.
Ms Herman said the President had pressured Mr Yanukovich to give up the race but that he had refused.
"We can finally shout out that Yanukovich does not represent the old authorities," she said.
Mr Yanukovich, a former Soviet factory manager, named a new campaign manager, Taras Chornovil, whose last name is dear to many Ukrainians. His father, Viacheslav, was a leader of Ukrainian dissidents in the 1960s and 1970s, when Ukraine was a Soviet republic. Taras Chornovil has accused Mr Kuchma of arranging the 1999 car crash that ended his father's life.
Ahead of the vote in the parliament - which is expected to lead to the firing of Mr Yanukovich and his cabinet - the Prime Minister said he was taking leave from his job and asked Mr Kuchma to leave the cabinet in place. Ms Herman said Mr Yanukovich was leaving office in an effort to counter opposition charges that he had been exploiting his position to promote his campaign.
To fully change his image, Mr Yanukovich must persuade voters that he has suddenly broken with Mr Kuchma, who represents authoritarianism and corruption to many Ukrainians. Mr Yanukovich's campaign was dogged by images of the burly, black-clad aides who accompanied him while campaigning.
At his mostly empty headquarters on Monday, a few flag-waving supporters outside menacingly queried a foreign television crew whether it supported Mr Yushchenko. There was none of the festive atmosphere that characterised Mr Yushchenko's self-styled "orange revolution", a reference to his campaign colour.
The occupation of Independence Square has been enlivened by round-the-clock rock concerts and fireworks displays.

In Beantown, local artists are turning mundane utility and light boxes into canvasses for vibrant murals.
But don't confuse the city-sanctioned art with graffiti. The Mayor's Office of Arts, Tourism, and Special Events launched the public art program — called PaintBox — in 2008 to discourage graffiti while also highlighting local artists.
"Mayor [Thomas M.] Menino wanted to brighten up the streets," explains Joe Rull, special assistant to the mayor and PaintBox liaison between Boston's public works and transportation departments. Menino had heard about similar ventures and suggested that Rull look into starting one in Boston. The public works and transportation departments suggested which boxes would benefit most from the program; some historic neighborhoods chose not to participate due to landmark provisions.
The program is privately funded and uses no tax dollars, depending instead on donations from businesses and nonprofit organizations — the Boston Celtics professional basketball team plans to donate in 2010. A 24-hour call center is also available so residents can report if a box gets tagged, among other concerns (such as potholes and unplowed streets).
Local artists interested in participating submit their designs to the Boston Art Commission, which approves all public art for the city. Although there are no strict guidelines, artists are required to use lighter colors, as dark colors could cause the utility boxes to overheat.
"My favorite aspects of the program are seeing all the cool mini-murals around town, as well as getting exposure and recognition for my work," says Boston artist Adam O'Day. He's looking forward to submitting more designs when the weather gets warmer, since paint dries poorly in cold weather.
So far, 49 boxes have been painted, with at least 100 more to go in 2010.
"It's still early in the process to see how the boxes hold up to graffiti over time, but only one or two have been tagged so far," says Karin Goodfellow, staff director for the art commission.

I've always been a sucker for a dare. It's Saturday afternoon and I've got myself into a bit of a pickle. The previous week I met a friend with hair the same as mine who'd had it blow-dried straight. No harsh chemicals, no permanent damage, no problem, she said.
When I voiced my concerns, she asked why I always "had a go at women who straighten their hair". I don't know if it was because hair is always such a big deal for black women, or because we were in a vodka bar, but things got rather heated and somehow I ended up agreeing to have my own hair dried straight.
Not all Afro hair can be blow-dried straight - most needs serious amounts of chemicals to get rid of the curls. But if you're going to do this, the most important thing is to go to someone who knows your hair very well. Even though it's basically just a powerful blow-dry, it can damage the hair permanently if done wrong. So, if your usual hairdresser isn't up to the job, get recommendations from friends and visit the hairdresser a couple of times for a regular cut and dry before you trust them with the straightening tongs.
The first thing that surprises me is how nervous I am. It takes all my will power not to cancel my appointment with Errol Douglas. But once I'm there, Errol's charm works wonders as he tells me repeatedly how good it will look and promises that my beloved curls will bounce back the moment the hair gets wet. As I try to relax, Errol gets to work. My hair is washed and dried, then put into huge curlers and set under a drier. After about half an hour, the rollers are taken out and, using tongs, the hair is dried straight. Very straight.
In less than an hour and a half, I have gone from a four-inch Afro to shoulder-length flowing hair. Errol asks if I like it. My mind empties - all I can think to say is, "I've got a fringe."
He laughs: "We've just spent nearly two hours breaking down your hair and all you can say is you've got a fringe?"
"But I've never had a fringe before," is all I can manage.

/// Apple E-Books Ruling Won't Do Much For Consumers
A federal judge's ruling that Apple conspired with publishers to raise the prices of e-books may have broad implications for the publishing industry and for Internet companies providing media content over the Web, but it will have little immediate impact on consumers. Since the five publishers accused of conspiring with Apple already settled with the Department of Justice, agreeing to lift restrictions it had imposed on price discounting and other promotions by e-book retailers, U.S. District Judge Denise Cote's decision won't accomplish much for the folks who actually buy and read e-books. "One of the reasons this case is interesting is that the mere fact that the government brought the complaint immediately improved life for consumers," Stanford law school professor Mark Lemley told AllThingsD. "Ebook prices dropped by a third literally overnight, as Amazon was free to lower its prices. So I wouldn't expect to see a dramatic effect on consumer prices as a result of this ruling — we've already gotten the benefit of antitrust enforcement." In other words, the DOJ's victory today over Apple is largely a symbolic one. Its antitrust pursuit of Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins, Holtzbrinck, Penguin Group and Simon & Schuster already ensured competition in industry. If there truly was harm done to the market, it's largely been undone. And, as Forrester analyst James McQuivey observes, the e-books business will pretty much remain as it is. "Amazon is still the dominant player and Apple is still picking up crumbs leftover by the big bookseller," McQuivey told AllThingsD

Ripoff Report
Grant Culver Cars15 SE 15TH AVE, Portland, Oregon USA
Grant Culver Cars Misleading, Lemon, deceptive, fabrication, falsehood, evasion and deceit Portland Oregon
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I live in California, and bought this vehicle from Grant Culver Cars who is located in Oregon. The transaction was all done online through emails and phone calls. I purchased this vehicle in March of 2012. I initally spoke to Kolby (a salesman) who was very nice and went above and beyond to help me. I had some friends look at the vehicle who live in Portland and they had sent pictures of the seats which had holes in them and after speaking with the owner, Chris Culver, he told me they were spots when they were actual holes. They really weren't willing to come down on the price, so I had requested they replace the fabric.
That took an additional 2 weeks, which was fine but when they put the vehicle on the truck to be shipped to me, I thought from what they had told me, I was getting a pristine vehicle from their dealership. When the vehicle first arrived, I noticed a few things wrong. First of all the seatbelt receiver was crushed; it looked like someone had taken a hammer to it; I was unable to wear a seatbelt because of this. The steering was completely off, it was as if the steering wheel was loose. I called Chris right away and told him what I had found. He blamed the upholstry shop for breaking the seat belt receiver but that he would pay to have it replaced which he did.
Upon driving this vehicle for about a week, I noticed that I did not have a horn. I finally took it to a certified dealership here where I live and had a complete inspection done. Grant Culver Cars sold me a vehicle that does not have a working operational horn; this is a liability. I still do not have a horn in my vehicle. It will cost me around $300.00 to have this fixed; I cannot afford this. I have a papertrail of emails showing that Chris Culver said he would pay for it. He did not. When I received the vehicle, the change oil light came on within 2 days of having this car. Grant Culver Cars told me (I have every single email transaction) that all of their vehicles get serviced before selling to the customer.
This was a lie. The dealership showed me what they found. An empty coolant reservior and there was no fluid in the power steering reservior. Grant Culver told me that I would be impressed with the condition of the car. I was not. Since I had purchased the car in 2012, I have had to get it towed to the dealership (I have pictures of the vehicle on a tow truck) because it did not start, to date, I have paid over $2,000.00 dollars on this vehicle to get numerous things fixed on it when Chris Culver said he would help me out and get it fixed for me.
They gave me a 30 day guarantee when I bought the car that if anything were to go wrong with the vehicle they would pay for it. This was absolutely false. The car also had a broken and completely damaged license plate holder; it would not hold the license plate on so for me to replace this cost me $60.00. I had a car which they took in and sold. I am still getting letters from the DMV to register the car. They had sold my car but for some reason it hasn't been registered. Still to this day they ignore my phone calls and emails. They will not respond to any of my requests. As I stated, I have every email transaction and all of the invoices from the certified dealership where I got the vehicle inspected.
All of the things they found wrong that I could afford to fix because if I hadn't the car would be sitting....The tires were severely off balance. I could go on and on. I still to this day do not have a horn. I can't tell you how many close calls I've had because I've been cut off and not had a warning to give by not having an operational horn in the vehicle Grant Culver Cars sold me. I was lied to, and scammed by this company. I am also in the military and they said we respect and care about our troops. Obviously not. They have not returned any phone calls or emails I've sent since this has all transpired. This tells me they knew they sold me a faulty vehicle with numerous operational issues. The list of problems with this car Grant Culver Cars sold me goes on and on.

Don't Trip Over Your Tongue!
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, November 26, 2013POSTED: Tuesday, November 26, 2013
Despite the fact, which just about everybody knows, buying a used car is a risky proposition, you take it to the extreme. You just had to have THAT car! Your tongue was hanging out so much for THAT car, you threw common sense out the window! You had a friend look at the car and send you pictures. Your friend did an excellent job pointing out HOLES in the seats of this wreck. The seller tells you a bold faced lie by claiming they weren't holes, they were just "spots". What did you do? You just had to have THAT car so much, your intoxication caused you to continue to move forward with this STUPID deal despite the FACT the seller was LYING TO YOU and you knew it! Incredible! Anyone who would throw common sense out the window and buy some used car they never saw, never test drove, never tried ALL the accessories and never checked for cosmetics needs to have their head examined!

On their Website, FALSE advertisement

Based on Grant Culver Cars website, and I quote what is stated: " Once we select a vehicle, we send it to our mechanic where it receives a thorough inspection of fluids and mechanical parts." As I stated, these are false claims that they put on their website.

The School of Social Work's library received a significant upgrade this past summer, when Boston College invested substantial resources to building a gleaming, innovative space for its students.
Library staffers conducted several focus groups and student surveys ahead of the redesign, in order to ensure the new space was best suited to the school's most important stakeholders. Boston-based architectural firm Dimella Shaffer won a competition to then integrate this feedback into the ultimate design that would become the new library.
"The library redesign was a labor of love for the many of us involved in the project," says Head Librarian Hannah Ha. "We worked hard to integrate the perspective of our students in our plans, and we are confident we've created the best possible space for both collaborative and individual study and work." More about BCSSW Unveils Revamped Social Work Library on the Blog »
Assistant Professor Jessica Black is breaking new ground with colleagues from across the nation for a new area of inquiry: neuroscience and social work. An educational psychologist with postdoctoral training in neuroscience from the Stanford University School of Medicine, she is one of a small group of pioneers to concentrate her career in this space. Black firmly believes that neuroscience is a critical component of any social work training, and thanks to her leadership, BCSSW offers its students the option to complete a certificate in this cross-disciplinary inquiry.
More than just building a program at BCSSW, however, Black hopes to construct a new field between these spaces; this fall, she and the BC School of Social Work hosted a first-of-its-kind research symposium entitled Intersections: Social Work and Neuroscience.

Graffiti death threats made against Gov. Jerry Brown
The first reports came in early last week. Someone had scrawled a death threat to parishioners on the walkway of a Catholic church in Irvine. Just miles away in Anaheim, a similar message was painted on a sidewall at St. Boniface Catholic Church.
For two weeks, Orange County cities have seen a spate of graffiti calling on people to kill Catholics, blacks, Asians and Latinos. Then, on Thursday someone painted graffiti in Santa Ana threatening to kill Gov. Jerry Brown on Valentine's Day.

Businesses strive to maintain a great reputation in the market by having great customer service and offering superior service. There is nothing more frustrating than finding a bad review online from a customer. Directory sites like Yelp, CitySearch, Urban Spoon and hundreds of others exist to let customers review listed businesses. Monitoring all of those sites is nearly impossible - not to mention what happens when people post on social media sites like Facebook, Google +, Twitter and others. Since consumers are highly influenced by star ratings and reviews from their friends, it is pertinent to monitor any mentions of your company's name. Positive reviews can help build your business by responding to those clients with a special thank you offer or just mentioning the importance of their satisfaction and loyalty to your brand. Delaying a response to a negative review only lets other people add their views and builds a poor perception about your business. An instant response to one of these comments lets consumers know that you care about your reputation and the services you provide. Often times these consumers are frustrated about one simple thing that you can easily fix. Rectifying these situations in an online forum will show other consumers how focused and committed you are to your services and they will trust in your brand.
At 34 Allies, we know how important it is to have a positive online reputation. That is why we offer Reputation Management. Each time an online mention is made about your business you will get an email with all the information. Also, each week you will get a report detailing your company's mentions and online visibility. We will help analyze these reports and provide you with the best practices to handle any type of online review.
Here are some of the details that we provide through weekly reports:
Verifies the accuracy of the data in online business listings. Inconsistent listing data can lead to poor placement in search engine results.
Monitors ratings and reviews from sites like Yelp and CitySearch. These ratings and reviews are becoming ubiquitous on business profiles and impact click-through rates on local business searches.
Compiles mentions from news sites, blogs and social networks and highlights the most positive and negative mentions.
Reveals how often a business is mentioned online compared to its competitors.
Tracks audience growth on social sites like Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare.
Sign up for Reputation Management today to make sure that the first impression customers have about your business is a positive one.

|I love Hakufu!!! So making her school outfit as I adore it! I'm working my way through most of the ikki tousen girls ;)
I would make the shorter hair Hakufu (not Dragon's Destiny)
About Hakufu:
Hakufu Sonsaku, the descendant of lengendary conqueror Sun Ce, is a highly skilled fighter with a ditzy personality who transfers to Nanyo Academy where her cousin Koukin Shuyu attends under her mother's request. Her destiny, as with her predecessor, was to conquer all of the schools. But there is a darker and more dangerous side to her fate, one that may change the entire course of history forever.....
Oooh this will be good to see =)
When are you cosplaying her? I shall be doing Chou'un to May expo with my best friend as Ryomou =)
Not sure yet ^_^ I am hoping to make it all from scratch, like I do all my other costumes, I could wear her for cosplay meets and for a day at an expo. Unfortunatley I won't be going to the May expo but I am going in October ^^
Awesome :3 Tis cool you managed to find an overjumper. Will be watching to see how it turns out
Thanks hun! It seems to have taken forever to find a jumper in a decent colour and shape in a charity shop for a decent price! XD now to find my skirt fabric haha!
Skirt shortened (Posted 26th March 2014)
Skirt shortened so apart from fixing the bow this is all done!
Tartan skirt aquired! (Posted 16th March 2014)

Jumper edit 2 (Posted 21st February 2014)
Cut the sleeves and polo neck and added the v-neck…. I left enough material round the edges to fold over for hand sewing so its not an obvious stitch.
Jumper edit 1 (Posted 21st February 2014)
Okay so here is the jumper before work begins, the sleeves and polo neck need removing and a v-neck adding…..

Since we are comparing smooth bore and rifled bores for the most part, (except for the post about the bannana slugs, Eewww) I found the Box of Truth article about shooting buckshot out of a rifled barrel interesting!
The Box O' Truth #43 - Buckshot in a Rifled Shotgun Barrel - Page 1
I purchased a rifled barrel with rifle sights for my Mossberg 500 to use while hunting deer in Northern Wisconsin where the shots are generally less than 75 yards. I spent $75+ on sabot slugs to find out that the "valu-pack", rifled slugs were just as accurate in my barrel.
Good enough for me!
I use lo recoil Remmington Sluggers. Relatively cheap so you can practice a bit. IMO, pretty darn accurate round, the only reason I've missed a couple of deer with it was forgetting to compensate for the drop in trajectory. I sighted it in closer than the shot I took and gave the deer a haircut.
Much more cost effective than having a rifled barrel only running sabots. You probably give up some accuracy but you can keep it by your bedstand with 00 for home defense.
I shot 15 rifled slugs thru my 590A1 a few days ago. 5@25 yards were absolutely dead on. 5@50 yards dropped an inch or so. 5@100 yards dropped 8-10 inches. That was some fun shooting.
I am surprised that the Brenneke is not spinning. I can attest that they do go through 1974 cadillac doors, and the window motor too. It's fun to bring glass-less doors to the range .
I don't always have nothing to say, but when I do, I post it on Facebook.
Hahaha ive been shooting microwaves toasters and an old dorm refrigerator all day. Buckshot doesnt go through the fridge but it pops it up in the air. Im getting some slugs on Wednesday. Ive got some Winchester Super X Magnum 00B for home defense. Both my shoulders are bruised from testing em out.

Thank you!
I actually like your name suggestion and I started "testing" it on her lol I've also thought of calling her Cookie since she's seal point with shades of brown all over her body. That makes her look like a chocolate chip cookie
As for Misty, I like it because of the description you said which I think fits my kitty very well. I also like the sound of it but I dunno if I should call her Miss-T, Miss-Tee or just Misty or Mystee or Mistee I think I might end up calling her Misty (Mistee) after we both get used to it.
Aww Miss-T is Rock chick, Mistee is sweet, which one fits? Glad you like the name, first thought that came to mind when I saw her.

Re: Pet Lovers, Unite!
I gots me two plecostomus.
the bottom one is off the Internet.
The other one is an albino variation who I named "Whiskers". They're mostly nocternal and try to hide during the day but sometimes they get bold enough to come out and start sucking up their favourite food, algae. They start of so small and can grow as big as their tank will allow. This guy and Whiskers are about as old as me.
Re: Pet Lovers, Unite!
i don't keep pets in my apartment, although i consider myself a dog guy. my mom, on the other hand, is a massive dog lover, especially the minis. back in the 80s we once had 11 dogs around the house, from all kinds of breeds. one after the other died over the years, mostly of old age. now she only keeps one white mini pomeranian (pic!) and another dog of unknown breed.
those two are by far not the only pets we have back home. my dad for his part loves birds and fishes.. i think we have a dozen love birds, an old, colourful parrot (you don't want to get too close to her though, she'll literally scream your ears off - pic!), a couple of other birds and koi fishes (pic!)
