text: James Stewart and Chad Reed are the pointy end of the spear in regard to modern motocross rivalries. They don't like each other in the slightest. Actually, they flat-out hate one another. Let's see how the two best riders in the sport compare in this edition of 2 Tribes? THE LAST MOVIE YOU SAW? JS: The Taking of Pelham 123. CR: The Hangover. WHAT DO YOU WATCH ON TV? JS: HGTV and the shows Property Virgins and House Hunters. CR: Whatever's on. I really like MotoGP and NASCAR, so that's what I do on Sundays. And the TV show Brothers and Sisters. THE LAST PERSON WHO MADE YOU FEEL NERVOUS? JS: Todd Potter, probably. I saw him today. CR: I met the new American Suzuki president at Washougal, and I wouldn't say it made me nervous, but he was the guy who might give me a job next year. YOUR GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT SO FAR? JS: This supercross season, winning the championship. CR: Growing up in Australia, everyone before me eventually failed in America, and I stuck to it and didn't let it deter me. I'd say that's probably it. A TALENT YOU WISH YOU HAD? JS: I wish I could golf better. CR: I'm pretty happy with my talents! I guess it'd be cool if I could dance. FIRST TIME YOU WERE ON A MOTORCYCLE? JS: I was 3 days old, and my dad rode me around on one. I've seen the pictures. CR: It was 1985, and my first race was in 1986. In Australia, you have to wait until you're 4 years old to race, so I had to wait until March of 1986. ONE THING YOU ALWAYS TAKE WITH YOU WHEN YOU TRAVEL? JS: My cell phone, for sure. CR: My cell phone! I need to be able to communicate with the rest of the world. WHAT SPORTS ARE YOU GOOD AT? JS: I'm not good at anything, but I'm decent at a few things. If it's racing, I'm pretty good at it, though. CR: As a kid, I was always pretty good at everything. I played football and cricket. I was pretty well-rounded athletically, and I'm sure that helps when you're racing motorcycles. YOUR FAVORITE SPORT TO WATCH ON TV? JS: Probably either NFL or golf. CR: NASCAR and MotoGP, like I said, and basketball. I love watching the finals. ONE SPORT YOU WOULD NEVER TRY? JS: Probably rugby. CR: Bull riding. That's just stupid. That and freestyle motocross pretty much go hand-in-hand, I think. You just go until you fall off! That's what Best Trick was like this year too. WHAT MUSIC DO YOU LISTEN TO? JS: I listen to everything. Seriously. CR: I don't know. I'm not a huge music guy. It's kind of random. Once in a while I listen, but it's just whatever's on the radio. MOST MEMORABLE MUSIC FROM YOUR CHILDHOOD? JS: Probably Tupac Shakur, honestly. It was before he got killed, but my parents never liked me to listen to it, but he was my guy. CR: I don't even know! I didn't care at all about it. When I was a kid, my brother got a stereo for Christmas and I got a TV and a video player so I could watch American supercross. A MUSICIAN PEOPLE WOULD BE SURPRISED YOU LIKE? JS: Moby. CR: I don't really know, honestly. FOUR-STROKE OR TWO-STROKE? JS: Four-stroke. CR: Four-stroke! FAVORITE RACING MEMORY? JS: Probably Orlando in 2006 or Millville last year. Both of those, I dominated that day and no one stood a chance all day. CR: The race that always comes to mind where I felt like I rode great and strong was Daytona in '05. I just felt that I rode really well, and I had struggled all year with the new frame on that bike, and Ricky was heavily favored for that one and just killed it. He had nothing for me that night. That was one that really stands out. WHERE WOULD YOU RATHER BE IF NOT AT THE RACES? JS: At home. CR: At the beach somewhere. I love the water, whether it's just hanging out swimming or wakeboarding. HARDEST THING ABOUT MOTOCROSS AS A SPORT? JS: That you're never home. With the supercross-only thing, at first I didn't like missing the outdoors, but now I love it. CR: The hardest thing is that the industry is so small and you can never escape from it. The season's long, and then it immediately goes into testing and stuff. I think that's why the age of retirement is so young. Amateur to pro, it's just go, go, go, go. BEST PLACE ON EARTH? JS: Probably church. That's the only place I know of where people always try to come together and don't have a lot of drama. They want to help each other. CR: I love where I grew up in Newcastle back in Oz. I love to be around the water. WORST PLACE ON EARTH? JS: VitalMX.com! CR: Sometimes I hate Europe…. I've never been to Afghanistan, though, and I have to say that's probably pretty horrible. SOMEWHERE YOU'D LIKE TO TRAVEL TO? JS: I would like to go to Japan or China, somewhere in the Orient. CR: I haven't been to South Africa, and I'd love to go there. I've heard a lot about it. YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THE RACES? JS: Honestly, winning. There are a lot of things that go on, but winning is the best part. You can have a good day, but if you don't win, it's not that fun. CR: That's easy: the excitement of going racing. Everything you've lived your life for and worked so hard for, and you're going out there to showcase all of that. You've got people who like you and who hate you, but you go give it your all either way. MOST ANNOYING THING ABOUT YOU? JS: I probably take my racing way too seriously, and it makes people nuts. All I do is think about racing, and my whole life revolves it. If I have a bad race, get ready for a bad week at home. CR: Probably the fact that I procrastinate so much. I hate living on a schedule. If you give me a schedule, I get grumpy. I hate being on time, and I hate waiting on people, too. WHO WOULD PLAY YOU IN A MOVIE? JS: Probably Denzel Washington. He's a little older now, but he can be funny but serious too. He'd be perfect. CR: If there's a movie, I'd like to play me! YOUR GUILTY PLEASURE? JS: Winning! I have to have it. CR: Ice cream, for sure. Chocolate ice cream. I could eat ice cream 24/7. BEST MOTORCYCLE MOVIE? JS: I don't know. I can't think of any that are any good. Sorry! CR: I don't know. Everyone always says On Any Sunday, but I haven't seen it. I've watched Rad like a thousand times, though. I used to watch races, not the fantasy bullshit. FAVORITE STORE? JS: Probably Nike Town. I love that place. CR: I love electronics, so probably the Apple Store. LAST BOOK YOU READ? JS: I don't remember the first book I read! Probably The Cat in the Hat. I read magazines. CR: I haven't really read a complete book. I get bored easy. The last one that I read page after page was probably an Australian fighter named Costa Zoo who had a book out. FAVORITE SUBJECT IN SCHOOL? JS: I used to like Math, and I figured one day if I ever killed it, I could count all my money. CR: I didn't really have a favorite subject, but I always did well at Math. FAVORITE MEAL? JS: Chicken, baked beans, and potato salad. CR: If I'm just at home and I want to eat something, the one I always eat is Kobe steak and eat that with some fried rice and veggies. THE WORST THING YOU'VE EATEN? JS: Probably shit, actually! Like at an outdoor national when you get roosted, I'm sure that's shit. It tastes like it! CR: I was on a flight to Europe on Japan Airlines or something to London, and we connected through Japan, and I had some fish noodles that were disgusting. Ever since then, I can't eat anything combining fish or noodles in any way. FAVORITE DRINK? JS: Red Bull. CR: I pretty much live on water. We don't have soda or anything like that in the house. It's not that it's bad for us or something, we just don't enjoy it. Just bottled water and alcohol in our house. YOUR CHILDHOOD HERO? JS: My dad was, to be honest. It's funny how people think it's Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods or someone, but it's my dad, and that's probably true for most people. CR: Jeremy McGrath, for sure. I also looked up to my older cousin Craig Anderson too. He started winning pro races when I was pretty young. I always defended him, and I already hated all the pro guys in Australia by the time I moved up. YOUR REGULAR CREW? JS: My dad, my mom and my fiancée, Brianna. Then you have Anthony Paggio and Rado and Aldon Baker too. CR: Ellie and our Florida crew, Mike and Megan, JT$, the Ferrys, and Dani and Byrner. WORDS TO LIVE BY? JS: When in doubt, gas it! CR: Never leave anything on the table. Treat others as you expect to be treated. Respect your elders. WHAT'S THE WORST PART ABOUT YOUR JOB? JS: VitalMX! CR: Just like what I said before about the industry being so small, and I think it's dictated by things it shouldn't be. I don't like politics. WHAT'S THE HARDEST PART ABOUT BEING IN THE SPOTLIGHT? JS: That you can't really be who you really are. You can't say what you want to say. Sometimes I feel like I want to talk, and I end up talking when I'm not supposed to, or not talking when I'm supposed to. CR: You have a love/hate relationship with it. You love being in the spotlight. If you don't enjoy it, you're lying. But you're also scrutinized for everything that you do. It's give and take. But the benefits outweigh problems. WHAT'S YOUR FUNNIEST STORY FROM THE RACES? JS: Probably my endo when I nose-wheelied in San Diego… or when my wig caught on fire at the Houston Supercross this year. CR: I'm sure there are some, but nothing comes to mind! It's kind of funny around me every day. Most of the people are jokers in the pits, so it's usually funny. In Europe, though, Ellie and I were driving home from the last GP in Austria back to Belgium in our motor home. It was registered in Italy. It was right after 9/11, and we get pulled over by unmarked cops, but they've got full bulletproof vests and they're checking us out. The motor home was registered in Italy, and we were Australian with Dutch passports living in Belgium, so we looked pretty shady, I guess. They made us get out and went through the motor home. It was pretty intense, but after the fact it was pretty funny. Two 18-year-old kids with eyeballs as wide as ever. WHAT'S THE BEST ADVICE YOU'VE EVER GOTTEN? JS: My dad always told me never to give up, and that's why I have a hard time in racing sometimes. I can't give up. CR: I take a lot on board, but I guess I'm not that good at recalling specifics. WHAT'S THE BEST THING YOU'VE EVER GOTTEN FOR FREE? JS: My Bentley Continental GT from Red Bull, as far as what I can see or touch, but my faith is probably the best thing I've gotten and it didn't cost a dime. CR: I get a lot of stuff, but when you get stuff for free, it's hard to really appreciate it. WHAT'S THE ONE THING MOST PEOPLE MISUNDERSTAND ABOUT YOU? JS: Where should I start? They think I'm cocky. I guess it depends who you talk to, but I'm not cocky. I could never do something to hurt someone. I care about people's feelings. If my worst enemy was drowning, I'd throw them a rope because I couldn't watch them get hurt or die. CR: I guess probably the way I say things is different than the way I want it to come across a lot. I think I'm a pretty relaxed, fun guy, and some people get that wrong and think I'm pretty intense. I don't think I'm the guy people think I am, that's for sure. WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE AN ON-TRACK RIVAL YOU REALLY LIKED, OR WOULD YOU RATHER DISLIKE THEM? JS: Either way is fine for me. I was friends with Ricky Carmichael, and I still wanted to beat him. But with the ones you don't like, at least you don't have to talk to him afterward or shake hands. You can just be like, "Yeah, I beat you." CR: For me, it goes both ways. I've never been somebody who has to dislike or hate somebody to want to go kick his ass. Some of the best rivalries I've had have been with some of my closest friends, or even family, like racing my cousin Craig. So I never felt like I needed to. But I can go either way. We don't like each other, but that's okay. It makes it easier to do what you've got to do sometimes.

Long lines were one form of fun awaiting voters around the country as they made their way to the polls on Tuesday; early voters also reported troubles of a more potentially prohibitive nature in battleground states.
The New York Times:
There were also reports of underhanded tactics. Several callers from Indiana, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Maryland reported receiving automated phone calls with incorrect polling locations. Dozens of people in Colorado and New Jersey reported not receiving confirmation of their voter registrations or absentee ballots.
Yesterday alone, the hotline received more than 30,000 calls. Most were from voters in high population and swing states, including over 2,000 calls from Florida. The most common calls by far up until Election Day have been in regard to registration problems, followed by absentee ballot issues and polling place problems, which include extremely long lines.

Post Lift Pics
5 Attachment(s)
Special thanks to CruiserBruiser, JIMBOX, HillDweller, USAntigoon for helping answer alot of my newb questions in my previous thread. I am running 35 x 12.5 x 17 Maxxis BigHorns and the Rough Country 3.25 inch lift. I added X-Flex adjustable control arms and a JKS adjustable front track bar as it didnt come with the kit. My bumpers are Rugged Ridge XHD Modular front and XHD w/ tire carrier rear.
I have some Rugged Ridge Rocker Guards that have been shipped and will be on this week.
nice lookin' jeep, wish i had some lift pics to post but i'm not financially there yet.
Really nice looking rig!
Thanks! I've been wanting to do it ever since I bought it 18 months ago....I'm very happy with how it turned out! Icing on the cake was my girlfriend coming home and saying she doesn't really notice that much of a difference "maybe its a little bigger I guess, I just don't pay attention to that stuff" were her exact words. :eek: Good thing she is beautiful because her observation skills suck! :p
Hey thanks for the name drop:D Sharp looking Jeep you got there buddy, glad I could help out!!
:D Thanx Tpr, seems like 2.5" was a well engineered lift, for minimal suspension changes, I like the RC better, cause it's all STEEL !!
Looks slick; nice job.
...a little too clean though...
:rolleyes: See the water on the driveway ??
:rofl::rofl: JIMBO
Heh Heh
:rofl::rofl: JIMBO
That, and I always liked yellow Jeeps. Very sharp!
And TPR, your Jeep is very sharp as well! Looks like it is coming along quite nicely :)
JIMBOX, how long have you had your RC lift. Have you had any problems with the coils sagging after awhile. I've read some sketchy reviews were ppl mother F RC and now I'm worried
Looks great! :) Those guys are the bomb, aren't they? :D
:D Heh Heh, Hell Tpr I just put the lift on, when I was in Nevada last week
What I meant about "ALL STEEL" was that the "PUCKS" are powdercoated steel, not plastic or rubber, so there will be no structural breakdown
I also used RC9000XL shocks and set them at "5" to try out, I used Daystar front bumpstop extensions and made the rear extensions out of 2x4" sq stock !
I adjusted the steering wheel so I wouldn't get a "chime" and it's perfect
I couldn't see any visual difference in the front/rear axles placement, because of the 2" lift, I think it's because of MFG tolerances and my Bushwacker fenders
I've also heard that the RC COIL: 2.5" lift is kinda junky
:rofl::rofl: JIMBO
Well I guess time will tell. If I have problems, atleast i've read for the most part RC customer service is good. If I have to change out the coils then I'll cross that bridge when I get to it, atleast I have the adjustable control arms and track bar to grow with my Jeep :rolleyes:
I have also read almost EVERYWHERE that the Rough Country lift is really really Rough....I don't think it's bad at all.

FAMU band director's dismissal halted for probe
ORLANDO, Fla.,None - Dismissal procedures have been put on hold against the longtime director of Florida A&M University's marching band and four students who were kicked out of the school after the death of a drum major, officials said Wednesday.
Band director Julian White's status has changed to administrative leave with pay after he had faced termination Dec. 22, FAMU attorney David Self said during a break in meetings of the school's board of trustees.
The four students are back on campus taking classes, university officials told board members.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement asked the university to stop any disciplinary action until a criminal investigation into the death of Robert Champion. Detectives say hazing played a role in his Nov. 19 death. He died aboard a band bus following a football game against rival Bethune-Cookman University. Witnesses said he vomited before becoming unresponsive.
"According to the FDLE letter, all disciplinary action had to cease," said Henry Kirby, dean of students.
White's attorney called the change "a step in the right direction." He said White would seek full reinstatement as band director and as a fully-tenured music professor.
"We still intend to explore all the legal options in light of the university's collective bargaining agreement and Dr. White's contract," said Chuck Hobbs.
The famed Marching 100 band has been shuttered as the death is investigated by the Orange County Sheriff's Office, the FDLE and Florida's higher education governing body, the Board of Governor.
An attorney for that board told trustees that Champion's family had sent a letter indicating they plan to sue over his death. The letter requested the university's insurance information but it didn't make reference to any individuals or legal theories that they may follow, said attorney Rick Mitchell.
Mitchell said Florida law limited the board's liability to $300,000, although individuals could be liable for a larger amount if they were found to have acted in bad faith, with malicious purpose or exhibited wanton disregard for safety.
Board members didn't address the future of James Ammons, the university's president, but left open the possibility it would be a topic of discussion Thursday. Board chairman Solomon Badger said he supported Ammons, but other board members, when asked, refused to say whether he had their backing.
Ammons told reporters he wasn't thinking about his future.
"The university is much bigger than James Ammons," he said. "I'm not focusing on whether I have the support of the board. My focus right now is on this family who has lost a son and on this university, and how we're going to move forward and repair the image of the university."
Sheriff Jerry Demings said his investigators believe hazing played a role in Champion's death, but any arrests are still weeks, maybe months away.
"I can't tell you how much longer it will take. We do have additional reports we are waiting on," said Demings.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Source: KPMG Corporate Treasury News, Edition 45, July 2015
Virtually every global player these days uses (or is considering introducing) a treasury management system (TMS) from a provider of standard solutions. One consequence of this strategy, however, is that optimizing the use of the TMS depends not only on the technical requirements placed on the system by the treasury function, but also on the company's objectives in terms of its international footprint, the scope and number of the various processes the system must model, and local requirements with regard to system roll-out. The resultant planning and implementation challenges should not be underestimated.
TMS installations deliver suitable functionality, operational availability and performance to meet the treasury's growing needs for efficiency, transparency and methodological competence. In recent years in particular, constant growth in organizations and operations across different countries, regions and time zones has seen more and more European companies also establish treasury centers in the North American Free Trade Area and northeastern Asia. An increasing number of tasks are therefore being handled by local treasury staff in these regions, and that usually creates the need for integration in or at least links to the existing treasury system landscape.
Especially when setting up a global treasury management platform, integrating a large number of different systems and tools, interfaces and information sources is only one aspect of the work. This aspect alone involves replacing the local processes and IT solutions that predated the roll-out with standardized processes and system functionality. The resultant challenges are themselves often tantamount to a new TMS launch. Differences between countries and the fact that roll-out in one country can often not be mapped 1:1 onto other countries create additional headaches for the units involved: Many standard processes do not have the required granularity (or are lacking entirely) and local conditions need to be assessed. At the same time, the inherent dynamism of treasury activities mean that there are usually too few resources and too few in-house specialists to analyze and evaluate deviations from the existing standard.
What aspects must be considered to ensure that an international roll-out goes through smoothly and successfully?
New technologies such as SaaS and ASP have been making inroads into the TMS market for some time and can significantly ease the challenges described above (or transfer them to the vendor in some cases). In the case of solutions that are operated in house, the bottom line is that professional preparation, careful planning and an experienced project team are the key success factors for international roll-outs.

Savers are now getting used to a low interest rate environment – and with some economists suggesting we might have to wait until 2014 before the base rate rises, that's just as well. But it's certainly not true that rates on offshore accounts have been static this year.
And while you might assume that rates have worsened, that's not the case at all. Indeed, fixed rates are better now than a year ago, and changes in notice accounts mean rates are marginally higher than at the start of 2011.
But go back to the week before base rate fell to 0.5pc in March 2009 and you get a better picture of just how far rates have fallen and how savers – particularly those dependent on their savings for income – are suffering in this environment.
Today, the best rate you can get for a five-year fixed rate is Clydesdale International's 4.3pc on a minimum £10,000. At the start of the year, the best five-year fixed rate was also offered by the Clydesdale but it was 4pc. For a year, the current best fixed-rate deal is 3.5pc from AIB International or Bank of Ireland. At the start of the year the top deal for the same period was 3.25pc from Nationwide International – Anglo Irish Bank International (now AIB International) had 3.1pc.
But if you go back to late February 2009 just before base went to 0.5pc, then the top one-year fix was 4.6pc from Anglo Irish Bank Corporation.
With two-year fixed rates, the best deal is currently 3.75pc from Alliance & Leicester International: better than the 3.5pc on offer from Alliance & Leicester in January. But in February 2009 you would have got 4.2pc. Short-term fixed rates show an even wider gap: now, you can get 3.02pc for six months. In January, the top six-month fix was just 2.72pc – but go back to 2009 and it was 4.3pc.
Variable rates have also changed. Today, the best easy access deal is AIB International Savings' 2.5pc on £5,000. A year ago it was Anglo Irish (now AIB) but at 2.9pc on the same amount. Go back to pre-0.5pc base rate days and the top easy access rate was 4.25pc on £25,000 from Irish Nationwide – Anglo Irish was paying 3.75pc.
On notice accounts, there's been a shift over the year towards very long-term notice periods in exchange for higher rates. So today, the best notice account rate is Skipton International's 2.75pc but with a huge 180 days' notice – giving six months' notice to withdraw money may be too much of a tie-in for many savers.
A year ago the top notice account rate was 2.6pc from Yorkshire Guernsey (which this year announced it was closing down) but with a comparatively short 90 days' notice. Go back to early 2009 and the best notice account rate was 4pc from Anglo Irish or Irish Nationwide.
The rate changes over this year are down to changes in money market rates as well as for marketing reasons: there are fewer operators in the offshore market now so there's less reason to be competitive.
How much you can get on a fixed rate depends on how much the bank has had to pay for a tranche of fixed-rate money on the markets.
Experts now don't expect base rate to move from 0.5pc until 2014 at the earliest, so two-year – and maybe longer – fixed rates look a good deal as there is probably enough of a gap between what you can get on a variable rate deal and on a fix to make it worthwhile.
Watch out: there's a taxman about
HM Revenue & Customs has set up the special Offshore Co-ordination Unit to find those who hide money in offshore accounts to avoid UK tax and duty.
David Gauke, Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury, said: "The days when untaxed income or capital could be safely salted away offshore, beyond the reaches of the taxman, are long gone."
Most expats won't be resident in the UK and therefore will pay tax in their new home, rather than in Britain, but take this as a reminder that if you do have money in an offshore account then the interest on it should be declared to the tax authority in your home country.

Ah Ricky!
He's just a treasure trove of dumbassedness. Whether it's marriage leading to dog orgies with 4 or 5 people, or going to college being "elitist snobbery".
Man, I really wish they'd plop me in front of a camera with a question. Because, this whole issue of biblical homosexuality thing is mostly because it's adultery. Along with any sex outside of marriage, and even thinking about having sex with someone you're not married to. (That's a bit more hardcore).
I just want to see him try and answer a question about how he's going to stop heterosexual adultery as President.

It's pretty simple, the cuckold thing. If I were of the sort that actually does the stuff that's attractive to me. It would be that kind of thing. Because, to harken back to the old tropes that we usually harken back to. (Whether we like it or not.) It would be awesome knowing that she could sleep with anyone, yet still come back to me. Because she's mine, and I'm hers. And, there's the possible other activity that might possibly come into play, in the heat of the moment. wink. lol.
But, I probably would never actually do that, because I have to know generally why people would want to sleep with me, anyways. And, that's a problem. Because it might not be a great answer.
So... To sum up. Being in the main couple of a threesome or poly arrangement would, in short, be awesome. What's not so awesome is being the third wheel. Which, would be ok if all you cared about was the sex. But, if you would want some of the other stuff, the better stuff, that comes along with the sex, then you're out of luck. Or so I would think.

It's pretty simple, he puts up with it because he doesn't want to provoke anything. Maybe, if he does tell her he'd like her to accomodate him a little, it'll be over. She'll leave him, or he'll have to leave her. Hopefully, they can work it out.
If THAT's the big problem, then I personally would gladly put up with that situation. And, I wouldn't like it.

Some type of lubrication makes things better. It's just a matter of preference of whether the rigorous cleaning up afterwards is worth it.
And man,
It's not just you, but a significant number of others as well.
Why so harsh? It seems like instead of wanting people to deal with problems and issues, the answer is to just discard them.
Granted, that's probably not the case. You want them to work out an understanding, or at least a compromise. But, it's stuff like that, that makes me blow my gasket.
It'd be easier if people with issues, (and especially people with destructive and bad issues), took themselves out of the game, but it's not a particularily easy thing.

People put up with a lot. I know that I'd probably be OK with that situation, which is sex one time a week more than what I'm experiencing.
Having said that, it IS unreasonable what BOMBAST's girlfriend is asking for. I kind of agree with Dan's DTMFA assessment, but a real option is to quash those feelings of guilt, and carry on. Just stomp em down.

Just in case you haven't turned on the TV or been in a store for a month or so, this coming Sunday is Father's Day.
I am blessed with several father figures, and most years I've bought them cards. This year, however, I was inspired to make my own cards when I saw the image of a car on the Cricut Cake Holiday Cakes cartridge. This car reminds me a lot of my step-dad's 1964 Plymouth Fury, so I had to make this card for him:
Both the car and license plate are from the Holiday Cake cartridge. And yes, you can use the Cake carts in the regular Cricut to cut paper. But, warning, once you start it is hard to stop. It took me more than 3 hours to make this single card.
And I didn't stop there! I figure since I made one for my step-dad, I'd better make one for my daddy and my father-in-law.
My father-in-law loves Gnomes and I envisioned his card from the moment I saw the new Freshly Picked cartridge. Here it is:
The inside of all three cards are very similar, using the Happy Father's Day title from the Cricut Cake Holiday Cake Cartridge.


text: This has happened sometimes and it gets rather annoying when it does happen. When I come back from hibernation, it sometimes only shows the video on 2/3 of the screen, like it's showing a 4:3 resolution on my widescreen. Would this be a driver issue, a Windows issue or a hardware issue? I don't think there's a driver out there for the M10000 onboard video that supports a widescreen resolution, but if there is please point me to it.

When I try to re-install it on my phone using the marketplace i get this error "80070020". Searching Google there's no information about this error for Evernote. If I try to use Zune to install Evernote it gives me an error that I have already purchased Evernote and the option to install is greyed out.

slapjimmy posted a topic in Windows Phone HelpHey Guys I've had Evernote for a while. Such a great app to sync notes! However, since the last WP7 update last week I've had some issues with it on my LG WP7. Initially after the update I got an Evernote database error. I checked my Evernote account on the web and I can log fine in my browser and can see all my notes. So next I uninstalled Evernote on my phone. However when I try to re-install it it gets 50% of the way there and gives me an error code "80070020". I googled this code but nothing shows up. I also tried to install it using Zune. but it says I have already bought this app. I'm wondering is this just me, or has the latest WP7 update broken the WP7 Evernote app and an Evernote update will be released to fix the issue? Any help/pointers would be really appreciated. Kind Regards Jimmy

Open Letter to Mayor Kenoi: Get Our Kids Out of the "Pods"
Sorry about another letter so soon, but I am hearing a lot of frustration from folks who have kids that are supposed to be going to school at Keonepoko or Pahoa. As the man in charge of all things related to Act 111, you have got to know by know that our little kids are still crammed into some little pods in the parking lot at Keaau High School and other schools since being evacuated last year . Did you know they make them line up and go to the bathroom all at one time? How can that be conducive to learning? Do you know where all the precious little kids get to eat lunch and try to play recess? They share the same space as the high-schoolers do. I've heard that armed police hang out there to keep the peace since teen rivals now attend same school. Would you let your young impressionable kids be treated like this? Even your older children? Could you please use your supreme powers invested by Act 111 to insist the Department Of Education to do a bit better job, like let them go back to their own schools since the lava is pau for now, the lava drill is over. I can guarantee it wouldn't be done this way in Hilo or Kona. Our lower Puna children deserve better.
Very sincerely,
Sara Steiner

Originally posted on Knicks Journal | Last updated 11/12/12
For the Knicks, bringing in a veteran (and Hall of Fame bound) player like Jason Kidd was necessary on many levels.After spending the second half of last season riding or dying on Jeremy Lin, it was obvious a stable floor general was crucial. Kidd represents a number of things Lin does not. Perhaps most importantly, he's one of the most experienced players in all of the NBA. As a recent NBA champion, he knows how to win, and understands how to do it on a consistent basis. After playing the same role, elevating each and every team he's been on, it's safe to say Kidd knows how to be a leading man on both ends of the floor.With so many offensive weapons in their team's arsenal, someone to help the Knicks connect the dots surely comes in handy. Kidd came to the Big Apple with his playmaking ability and veteran presence standing as two of the bigger (and more obvious) benefits to acquiring him.But as he's helped pace the Knickerbockers to a perfect 4-0 start, Kidd has been playing a complete game, full with contributions on both sides of the floor.As one of the best floor generals to ever play in the league, the veteran's playmaking ability and good instincts were a given. But after a slower campaign in Dallas last season, many had wondered if the 39 year old Kidd had already begun to lose a step or two.Not a chance. Kidd has been a major X-Factor for the Knicks in the early goings of the season thus far. And though he's one of the elder statesmen in all of the NBA, he's been clamping down on defense and pestering opponents.Whether it be to Lin or Raymond Felton, Kidd was signed with the thought that he would serve as a backup in mind. That said, he's been called upon to start at two-guard as a couple of his new teammates deal with injuries.Playing the future Hall of Famer in the starting lineup has created an interesting dynamic for New York. Though Coach Mike Woodson has still managed to limit Kidd's minutes to 20.5 minutes per contest, inserting him in earlier during the game has already pitted him against some of the league's better offensive guards.During the Knicks' matchup against the Mavericks on Friday, a switch called for Kidd to chase down O.J. May on defense. It was a change that made all the difference, as the floor general's intensity helped slow Mayo (and eventually, his team) down.Everyone around the league knows Jason Kidd the playmaker all too well. But following last season in Dallas, many wondered if Kidd's time was running out.Instead, as he helps propel the Knicks' efforts during their hot start, his opponents are getting to know Jason Kidd, the hard-nosed defender, all over again as well.

5 out of 5 stars Breast Implant Removal
Can't Wait to Be Small Again After 14 Years! - Albany, NY
I consulted with a number of other doctors before selecting Dr. Kristen Rezak from Albany Med. It was important to me that my implants be removed from my original armpit incision, and she confidently assured me this was reasonable. I also like the idea of being treated by a woman who knows what it is like to have breasts. She was so caring and supportive through the whole process. Can't recommend her enough... She's awesome.

This review is from: Logitech Wireless Combo MK270 920-004536 Black 8 Function Keys USB 2.0 RF Wireless Ergonomic Keyboard & Mouse
It works. Cheap. Surprisingly soft touch keyboard than other k270 model.
No unifying capability. Poor design and layout. The power button works as sleep button!
Other Thoughts:
I previously gave this 4 eggs, but I have to remove one egg after I found out that it is not unifying capable therefore can't use my old mouse with it unless I use a separate usb receiver. But most disappointing is the power button works as sleep button only and no way to configure it even with the latest version of setpoint software. You can only choose sleep or hibernate from Windows power option. My old K270 power button can be configure from the setpoint software itself. Logitech should even change the icon of this power button to sleep button to avoid confusion.

Letter: November will present Dems with a slate of fresh candidates
To the editor:
Amidst the flurry of letters aimed at the Bristol Democratic Town Committee, all objectivity seems to be lost on the part of some frantic Republicans. Doug Gablinske's letter states the problem very well, although Doug does not point out that if a Republican is really a moderate, there is no place for them in today's Republican Party. That is exactly the situation that forced Gov. Chaffee — a decent, competent and honest Republican — to become an Independent, and subsequently, become a lame duck the day after he was elected. It says a lot when Gov. Chaffee and other Republicans, obviously intelligent men, have decided to leave politics altogether.
Cara Cromwell's excellent column in last week's Phoenix also addresses this problem very well. In today's polarized context, it would do well for all candidates to remember the old Irish slogan "You dance with them that brung ya!"
The Democratic primary contests, as they did at the last elections in this state, will definitely separate the wheat from the chaff, and allow the Democrats to present a slate of fresh, smart, new candidates at all levels of our government. This might well be the last chance for Rhode Island to really get a fresh economic start. The Town Democratic Committee has recognized this situation well and has acted accordingly.

The Body Shop: Satsuma Shimmer Lip Balm
One of my favourite lip products. While it doesn't exactly stick around for too long, and it's "balm" properties are minimal, the shine and taste are just amazing. I layer a dab of this lip balm over my regular lipsticks and it always gives a great boost that also tames a sometimes too bright red lipstick.
The Body Shop's lip care stick is full of vanilla and Vitamin E - two of your lips' best friends. This chapstick with SPF 15 is a great purse staple for your pucker.Added 9 Years Ago from The Body Shop

Max Mosley, the president of the FIA, yesterday continued his unprecedented series of attacks on public figures within his sport. Having twice recently called Sir Jackie Stewart a "certified halfwit", he inferred that Lewis Hamilton knew more about the McLaren spy scandal than he let on – and suggested that the youngster's fame has as much to do with his novelty value as his talent.
Speaking on the BBC's Hardtalk programme, Mosley said, a trifle disingenuously: "It would be surprising if he didn't know something of what was going on, but I've got absolutely no evidence that he had. On that basis it would be wrong of me to suggest that he had."
Mosley said he feared continued success for the Englishman might have a "negative" effect in the way that Michael Schumacher's lofty achievements did, that his rookie fame is a consequence of his novelty value and that attention could easily have been attracted by one of the other young drivers in the paddock. "If it wasn't him [Hamilton] it would be either [Nico] Rosberg or [Robert] Kubica or one of the other new stars. I think there's a tendency to exaggerate the importance of Lewis Hamilton.
"He has certainly helped enormously in the UK," he conceded. "He's also got a lot of interest worldwide because he's come manifestly not from a rich background. But there is always somebody new."
Mosley also referred to next month's FIA hearing when McLaren will seek to secure the drivers' title for Hamilton by overturning the result of the final race in Brazil on the basis of fuel temperature offences by two other teams. If the cars of Rosberg, Kubica and Nick Heidfeld, which finished ahead of Hamilton, were disqualified, Hamilton could be awarded the points he needs to overhaul champion Kimi Raikkonen's final score.
"It could happen, absolutely, because this will go to a court of appeal," Mosley conceded, but added: "That said, it's very unlikely, because even if they excluded those cars they are not obliged to reclassify Hamilton."Reuse content

"The Social Network" finds friends at box offices
By Bob Tourtellotte
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Facebook movie "The Social Network" found millions of friends in theaters during the weekend, taking in $23 million and earning the No. 1 spot at box offices, according to studio estimates on Sunday.
The movie, which tells of the founding of the popular social networking website, played in just under 2,800 U.S. and Canadian theaters for a per-theater average of around $8,300, a solid number compared to its rivals.
"It's a terrific start for a terrific film," said Rory Bruer, president of worldwide distribution for the film's studio, Columbia Pictures.
Indeed, the movie from director David Fincher has earned wide praise from critics, scoring a 97 percent positive rating on website rottentomatoes.com, which ranks films after compiling reviews.
Columbia hopes "Social Network" may even compete for this year's Oscars, and a solid start at box offices will go a long way toward boosting its prospects for awards.
Based on positive buzz and a crush of publicity, some box office watchers thought its debut weekend ticket sales might eclipse the $25 million mark, but Columbia guided expectations to around $20 million because "Social Network" is a drama aimed at adults, who do not always turn out on opening weekends.
Columbia said women made up about 53 percent of the audience, while adults 25 years old and over were about 55 percent of those in theaters.

David Tennant is to return to the Royal Shakespeare Company to play Richard II, five years after audiences and critics hailed his performance as Hamlet.
The production headed by the former Doctor Who star leads off a winter season at the RSC that includes the world premiere of the stage adaptations of Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall and Bring up the Bodies.
The announcement was Gregory Doran's first after taking over as artistic director of the RSC from Michael Boyd last year.
The production of Richard II, which Doran will direct, will run at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-Upon-Avon in October.
Doran said the part would be a "challenge" for Tennant. "Of course Hamlet was a challenge, it's the Everest," he said: "Richard II is written entirely in verse. He has no problem with verse. He breathes it, he makes it sound as if it is completely effortless."
The artistic director said the principal challenge for Tennant's Richard II will be "the sense of the man's volatility, fragility; that psychology is more alien to David's character"
The production will then transfer to London's Barbican Theatre in December. The Barbican was the company's home in the capital for 20 years before it left in 2002. "They are welcoming of our return," Doran said. "We are different to 10 years ago, so is the Barbican."
The Stratford company is once again looking for a permanent residence in London, and hopes to be in situ by 2016. Doran said: "Every option is back on the table." Although so far there have been no discussions about returning to the Barbican.
"I have no qualms about how it may look if we did discuss that. They may not want us anyway. It is a two way conversation after all," Doran said.
Mantel's Booker prize winning novels, which follow the rise of Thomas Cromwell as an adviser to King Henry VIII, will play at the RSC's Swan Theatre next January. The author is even to add in material she left out of the books. "What Hilary Mantel does is put the intimate into the context of the epic. She tells it from the side-lines and interior world of those people," Doran said.
When asked why the RSC had not waited until Mantel's publication of the final part of the trilogy, Doran said: "It was too good a story, I just wanted to get in there. If it proves to be terrific maybe we'll revive it as a trilogy." He has an actor in mind for Cromwell, but was not giving anything away yesterday.
Doran said the winter programme "acts as a prologue to a wider plan, stretching forward over the next five years" in which he wants to worth through Shakespeare's canon. This includes 2014, Shakespeare's 450th birthday and followed two years later by the 400th anniversary of his death.
"It's great to be taking the reins of this company that I've been around for the past 25 years," Doran said. "I have been given on a plate a three year plan, which I have expanded into a five year plan."
The RSC has turned down an approach of becoming part of a wider celebration involving The Globe, the National Theatre, the British Library and the British Museum in 2016.Reuse content

No Waiting in this Godot
In the odd limbo of an undecided presidential election, Samuel Beckett's existential mind-bender Waiting for Godot feels particularly appropriate. Does life have a purpose? Do we merely occupy ourselves with meaningless tasks in a vain attempt to fill the void of our existence? If corn oil is made from corn and olive oil from olives, what's baby oil made from?
Theatre Whereabouts, a small theater in a cozy stretch of antique stores and boutiques in downtown Fullerton, made a brave decision to stage this certified modern classic. But the results are mixed. The interesting discoveries made by director Scott Wilson and his cast are tempered by some problematic choices.
Purists beware. In just one of many moves to make the play his own, Wilson uproots Godot from its French countryside locale and transplants it to post-apocalypse Orange County. Some smaller touches work brilliantly: a pocket watch ( la Salvador Dali) underscores the irrelevance of time. The cruelly abused slave, Lucky (who seems to willingly participate in his mistreatment), mimes a heavy bag while his other props are real; a bit jarring at first, the device ultimately illuminates one of Beckett's many questions about reality: Are the burdens we carry real or imagined?
Ultimately, though, the production misfires. It seems to trust neither Beckett nor the audience's smarts and attention span. Take, for example, the use of linguistic space: others have noted that Beckett approached plays as composers do music, and that the spaces between his words are as vital to the play as the words themselves. They create the emptiness that underscores the futility of life and drives the desperate characters to fill the void. But there is no waiting in this Godot: little or no silence is allowed, which undermines the strong codependent relationship between Kevin P. Murphy's youthful, energetic Vladimir and Don Turner's highly focused and poignant Estragon. Murphy seems almost maniacal in his zeal to rush through every moment, never giving himself, the audience or the text a chance to breathe. Slapstick comedy replaces introspection, and the potential awkwardness of silence, with which Beckett deliberately underscored the piece, is filled with noise.
Upcoming Events
Still, this is a play one should return to every few years; more is revealed as you look back on it from various points on your journey. And despite its shortcomings, this production is a worthwhile stop along the way.

Do you click, tap, swipe … or type? Touch screens have been around for some time, but text input - and, therefore, the humble keyboard - remains at the core of how we work and interact with each other.
Tablets and smartphones have virtual keyboards and new messaging services such as SnapChat and WeChat rely on the written word, so many of us spend much of our day typing.
Productivity may still be about words, but there's now no reason why they must be typed out letter by letter on either a keyboard or a touch screen.
New developments in speech recognition and natural language processing are already revolutionising how business and commerce works behind the scenes, and it won't be long before we're all talking instead of typing.
For anyone who has ever suffered aching arms and shoulders from typing too much, the return of the art of dictation should be welcome relief.
Although there are small cloud-based speech-to-text features built into Android and Apple smartphones, tablets and desktop computers, these are slow, limited to single sentences, and don't allow any corrections or control of other functions.
The best off-the-shelf speech-to-text software around with a far wider remit is Nuance's Dragon Dictate. It's now in its fourth version, and much improved since I tried it two years ago.
As well as recognising more words more accurately, it's now far easier to go back and both edit and make the inevitable corrections without having to touch the keyboard.
The accompanying free Dragon Recorder app for smartphones isn't new, but where once it was used only as a remote microphone, it's now possible to use it to record a voice memo and have it transcribed into text by the desktop software.
For students, mobile workers and anyone conducting interviews, this is excellent news, though Dragon Dictate 4 is at its best when it's transcribing a voice it knows. A 10-minute training session - consisting of reading and getting used to speaking punctuation - at installation is crucial to its success.
Could software like this change the way we work? "How we talk differs from how we type," says Jonathan Whitmore, UK, Ireland and Middle East regional sales manager of Nuance Communications, which makes Dragon Dictate 4.
"A dictation device allows users to capture their thoughts naturally wherever they are, before having them transcribed accurately."
Whitmore thinks that this process better meets the needs of today's digital culture and digital businesses than typing.
"Given that society today has a culture of sharing - whether via email or social media platforms - dictation and speech recognition play a role in the effective capture and near-instantaneous sharing of an event, activity or even a document."
It could also make a big difference to any industry that charges by the hour or by tasks completed, although anything written using Dragon Dictate 4 still needs to be proofread thoroughly.
That's because, while errors are fewer than before, errant words can appear at any time. In my test, "toothache" was transcribed as "238".
Interestingly, it doesn't take long to get used to talking at a computer instead of typing, and by the end of a day spent with Dragon Dictate I had started dictating SMS messages on my phone. I was also beginning to wish I could tell the TV, the kettle and the lights to switch on or off.
"The most natural form of communication is talking, and so investment and development in this area will continue to grow," says Whitmore.
"It offers a common means of interfacing with multiple devices, from phones to televisions. A voice is unique to an individual so it is a secure way of identifying a person, and it is much easier to talk to a phone than trying to type messages."
But while speech is very natural, creating a responsive website or app that can understand and give intelligent responses is much more complex. Work is under way on understanding semantics, linguistics, the context of conversations, the way people search for information, and the relationship between data.
Some of that research is already bearing fruit as sentiment analysis, which is helping computers understand the meaning of phrases.
"When analysing recorded voice calls and emails, chat or social media, for some businesses, understanding the attitude or mood of the person speaking or writing might be a determining factor in how they evaluate or make a judgment, and then, consequently, how they behave," says Simon Richards, CEO of Fonetic USA, a linguistics company whose voice-recognition technology is now used on trading floors.
It works by analysing strings of speech in recorded conversations and, in the financial sector, alerts compliance teams to possibly fraudulent conversations on trading floors. Fonetic knows 79 languages and has a financial industry-specific lexicon that's taken five years to build.
As soon as a trader starts having an unusual conversation, or one that features unknown language, the alert goes out.
"Fraudulent behaviour is likely to be coded language or could be an act that is related to market abuse, such as insider dealing," Richards says. "The analysis tools can detect when something makes sense and when it is odd, and determine patterns and trends and send alerts to surveillance or compliance officers to take a look at something that is out of the ordinary."
The Fonetic solution uses direct phrase recognition, a major next step for the accuracy of natural language processing, and while it's been designed for data-rich places like banks and call centres, there's no reason why it couldn't be used in all kinds of devices.
"The technology analyses voice calls that have been recorded and can analyse any data source, email, chat, instant messaging and social media," Richards says. "If it's captured or recorded, we can analyse it."
Aside from worries about snooping, natural language processing technology like this is already making communication smart, too. Smart messaging tools for teams, such as Slack, HipChat, Convo, Peak and ChatGrape, are using the technology to kill off the bane of office workers' lives: internal email, the scheduling of meetings and hunting for files to attach.
Based on its finding that an office worker spends 1,500 hours per year searching for documents and looking up files, ChatGrape is smart software that auto-completes messages, attaching relevant files without any search required.
It's cloud-based, searchable and encrypted - a bit like email - but it will also soon feature Speech Act Detection on an internal phone system, which will have natural language detection at its core.
"Speech Act Detection tracks ongoing conversations and semi-automatically triggers workflows based on what is being discussed," says Leo Fasbender, COO and co-founder of the Vienna, Austria-based ChatGrape.
"This could be something along the lines of 'Hey Jamie, let's meet up tomorrow at noon to discuss the front-end issue', which would trigger a calendar event for both our calendars, check whether we have time, then set up the meeting," Fasbender says. "It would also correctly reference the issue we're discussing, thus eliminating communication-based misunderstandings."
The holy grail of natural language processing is conversational interfaces where speech isn't just a new way to control old technology, but becomes the central construct of how products and services are designed.
Natural language processing is about customising everything, everywhere, and for everyone. Let the conversation commence.

Dust Rage
Shrai, a young priest, seeks to avert a terrible tragedy in his homeland before nature takes its vengeance on his village.
Shrai crouched in the shadow of the jagged outcropping. The great slab of crimson rock jutted out over the sand, providing some measure of relief for anyone wandering the dunes. Overhead, a raptor circled, its iridescent tail sparkling in the orange sky. The sun, in the middle of the day, took up half the sky, searing the ground below, and it was dangerous to be exposed to its glare for too long; even Shrai's skin, evolved over centuries to reflect light and heat back into the environment, began to burn after more than a few hours in the heat. And so Shrai crouched on his heels, rocking slowly, waiting for cooldown.
Without haste, Shrai reached around his naked torso to the pouch on his back. Twisting it around and holding it to his lips, he squeezed a mouthful of the viridian liquid into his mouth. He swished it around tenderly, then swallowed. The bitter juice burned going down, made his insides contract violently around his heart. He did not vomit; there was nothing to give up. One of the tenets of the Dust Ritual was a four-day fast, and Shrai was glad now that he had abstained. The juice settled in his stomach, and he wedged his mouth and eyes shut while the elixir did its work.
Three hours had passed. Shrai reopened his eyes to see a shrinking sun ahead of him, the great orange sphere sinking towards the horizon. Soon, the Rage would appear. Soon, Shrai would have to prove himself once more.
Rising from his rest, Shrai straightened up under the crag, stretching his body, preparing for battle. Red, brown, and gold tattoos covered his shining body, depicting the past, the present, and wishes for the future. All these, in the elegant, artistic script of his people. Each one, a memory of pain and power.
He walked out from the shade, squinting into the dying sun. With a sudden flex of his legs, Shrai burst into the air, shooting up and above the crag. Controlling his descent carefully, he alighted on the very tip of the rock. While keeping a close eye on the desert in front of him, he removed his mal'yakh from its case. It was a fine specimen of weaponry, crafted by his sister for his priesthood rites. The cured cactus shone dull red, the wicked spikes glinting. It was a weapon with one purpose. He hefted it, examining a spike that he had recently replaced. Hopefully it would hold up during-
Shrai stiffened. Then he addressed the dusty air.
"Dust Rage."
Sssooo...haaaaaave you cooooooome to...ssssssss...killlllllllllllllllllllllll me?
"You know that I must."
Shrai listened to the deep, rattling voice on the wind, expecting anger and violence, as he had experienced with the Dust Rages before. But this one was different.
Sssssssss...yesssssss...I knoooooooow of your pact...with the Rrrrrrrrrrain Raaaaage...it mussssssst be done....
Shrai was startled.
"You will not fight?"
A dry chuckle issued from the wind.
Ooooooohhhh...I will do my bessssssst to killllllllllll you...but noooooot...with anger in my hearrrrrrrrt....
Shrai simply nodded.
"Then let us duel, Dust Rage."
The desert around Shrai exploded. The sand and dirt, whipped into a frenzy by the power of the Rage, slowly coalesced on one spot. It looked like a dust devil...but much larger. A pair of glittering black eyes appeared on the front of the vortex, and a pulsing black heart beat in the center. Shrai stared it down for a heartbeat.
And then he attacked.
With another burst of energy, Shrai leaped into the sky, brandishing his mal'yakh above him, screeching a war cry. He had enough of the green cactus in his system to last him five minutes. Maybe less. He had to make it count. Juicing his arms, he swung the mal'yakh directly at the cyclone's heart. A ripple of green energy raced down his arms, flaring when it reached the heart of the club. The spikes sucked up the green light, glowing wickedly.
The spikes redirected the energy into 9 focused beams of pure power. The sudden onslaught of viridian beams slashed through the sand and dust around the Rage's heart, severing the Rage's hold on its surroundings. The sand, cut off from the power, fell to the ground in a dusty shower. Shrai smiled.
He cut off the beams, focusing the power instead in the heart of his mal'yakh. The ground rushed up to meet him, and he slammed the club down. The sand blasted up around him as a pillar of green light erupted from the contact, searing the air and rushing towards the Rage's heart.
But the Rage wasn't there.
Shrai pulled his limbs around him, but he was too late. A blast of hot wind rushed over him, ripping his arms and legs away from his chest, flinging him up into the air. Gravel rushed around him like angry hornets, gouging deep furrows in his skin. Blood ran freely down his body, into his eyes. Stinging. Through the haze and burning, he could see the vortex beneath him, the heart pulsing, sucking him in for the kill.
Shrai knew how Dust Rages killed. They ripped you apart. It wasn't pretty.
Mustering his strength, he brought the mal'yakh to bear, focusing all of the juice into one flare. This was a step below suicide. As the wind grew stronger, the voice reentered his head.
Sssssssss...now let meeeeeee sssssssshow you...our paaaaaaaaain...our misssssssery...and your follyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy....
The pulsing black heart appeared before Shrai's eyes, sucking him in, his head and shoulders already gone....
A flurry of images, sounds, and smells assaulted his brain. Pain...unimaginable pain...and a sense of loss...loss of comrades and family...to beings too powerful to exist....
Shrai tensed his arms.
He released all of the built up power in his mal'yakh, slamming it into the Rage's heart. There was a brief moment of silence as the explosion blew out Shrai's hearing. Then he was rocketed backwards, hurtling across the sand, bleeding freely. The tattered remnants of the Rage's heart floated down from the sky, like voids in the orange stretch.
Shrai stood. And, for the first time in his existence, for the one thing he had never expected, he wept.

Classic french toast with a decadent chocolate filling.
It's Valentines' Day! How you celebrating today? As I shared last week, it's not a huge deal around here. No big -overly -romantic stuff going on.
My day is going to be actually packed full with parent-teacher conferences. The school district labeled them as "Spring Conferences". Yeah..doesn't make sense to me either. Especially, with 600 feet of snow sitting around town, spring is the last thing on any body's mind.
But, despite it, that's my plan of the day. Very romantic, yes?
No matter how you feel about it or plan to spend your day, you can still celebrate with french toast. Not just your average french toast,though. This one is stuffed with chocolate, topped with whipped cream, chocolate syrup and served up with a side of strawberries. It's simply delightful!
Make sure to share it with the one you love this year...
Chocolate Stuffed French Toast
Prep Time: 00:15
Cook Time: 00:20
Ingredients (3 large sandwiches or 6 small,)
- 12 slices of thick french bread ( my french bread was small and I cut it in thicker slices, so, it depends on the bread you decided to use)
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 2-3 TBSP half/half
- butter, for the pan
In a bowl, whisk milk, eggs, vanilla and cinnamon together. Set aside.
In a saucepan, melt chocolate chips with half/half until smooth.
Spread chocolate mixture on one side of a bread slice, then, top with another slice, making a sandwich.
Dip entire sandwich into egg mixture. Coat well and shake off any extra.
Over medium heat, melt butter in a skillet.
Add coated sandwich to the skillet. Cook on both sides evenly until they are browned.

Ahmedabad, June 16: There has been an increase in the number of social media sites which are pro-ISIS and investigations have shown that a majority of them were set up in Gujarat.
In some of the pages, there was a message calling on the youth to set up a Caliphate in Gujarat.This comes close on the heels of the Gujarat police busting a Dawood Ibrahim led module which had murdered two Hindu leaders in Bharuch with an intention of creating communal tension in the state.
Officials say that there has been a surge in activity by elements who want to provoke sentiments and cause communal tension in the state. At least 20 such accounts have been created in Gujarat which post pro ISIS material, officials informed OneIndia.
A pattern
The IB suspects that there is a pattern to it. Earlier on it was found that a module from Maharashtra was very active.
The IB says that the ISIS fan boys in India are not trying to inter connect with each other. Instead they are getting together in a particular state and forming groups.
In one of the pages it was stated that the Caliphate must be established in Gujarat. It appears as though these persons are raking up issues in the state and create a communally sensitive atmosphere.
Some of the messages are in Urdu while there is a lot of literature found in Arabic as well.
Apart from Gujarat some amount of activity has been found in Madhya Pradesh as well. There has already been an attempt to set up a module in the state.
However that was busted. Now it has been found that a bunch of youth have come together and opened up social media accounts. None have been attempting to leave the country.
They are just spreading the
propaganda and trying to attract more youth into their fold the
officer said.
The officer also says that the number of youth trying to leave the country for Iraq and Syria has come down considerably.
However what we have now been noticing is a surge in the number of social media accounts with a bid to spread propaganda. The IB official says that they have intimated the providers to take down these sites.
