I do not own Twilight. I only make them crazy.
Don't take this too seriously, it's actually really stupid and makes zero sense in a crack-head kind of way.
"Hello, my name is Bella Swan and I'm addicted to Coke."
"Hello, Bella," the circle says all together.
I bite on my bottom lip and look up toward the ceiling. I tap my pen on the podium and sigh. "Actually, now that I think about it, I'm more sensitive to Root Beer. It's the bubbles. Yeah, I'm addicted to bubbly Root Beer."
The circle just stares at me. Edward's laughing. He said this would happen. He told me not to do this, but this is AA, they're here to help overcome addictions. I can't help it if I'm not addicted to a mind-altering substance. I didn't choose my poison; it chose me.
They can't discriminate, that's not fair.
Somebody coughs, and another asks, "Did she just say Root Beer?" Another person clears their throat before speaking. "Excuse me, Bella?"
"Yeah?" I say defensively. Edward laughs loudly, covering it with a cough.
"No offense, but please leave." The guys takes his seat.
Soon everyone is telling me to go. A wadded up piece of paper is tossed at my head. I open the paper, and on it is a drawing of a stick figure, who I'm assuming is supposed to be me, with crossed out eyes and a can of Coke in her hand.
It's like high school all over again.
"Who drew this?" I ask into the microphone. Edward really starts laughing now. "I'm serious, who drew this!"
Edward stands up, gloating. He wants to tell me he was right. "Don't fucking go in there with your soda addiction, Bella. Those people are really suffering," he said.
"I'm suffering!" I insisted.
A lady with bleach blonde hair approaches me. She smiles, but she doesn't mean it. I can tell she's here to take my microphone. She thinks my cola addiction is ridiculous. Well, I think her skin looks like a cow's hide.
"Who the fuck are you?" I ask, hiding the microphone behind my back.
"Bella," Edward groans, rolling his eyes. We've been through this kind of shit before.
"Miss," the bleach blonde lady slowly, obnoxiously says. Her teeth are crooked as fuck and her skin is two more sunburns away from being made into a motorcycle seat.
That wasn't very nice, was it?
"Your turn is over." She reaches for my hands. I dodge her and scream "No, it's not!" into the microphone.
Edward starts walking toward me.
"Just listen. Please," I beg, holding a hand out in front of me. The lady sighs loudly, and Edward re-crosses his arms over his chest. He waves his hand, asking me to hurry the hell up.
"I know a Root Beer addiction may not sound as severe as a drugs or alcohol, but hear me out. I'm desperate." When everyone shuts the fuck up, I continue, "I've been drinking soda since I was seven years old. It's all I ever think about: when I wake up, when I drive, when I eat, when I go to the bathroom, when I'm with my guy-" I point to Edward. He smiles and waves to the crowd. "-I dream about carbonation. I live for bubbly-bubbles. Do any of you know how that feels?"
I feel like crying, but I don't. "If I don't wake up and drink a soda I get the worst headaches and my bones get all achy. It's ruining my life, not to mention my health. It's been fifteen years and I'm ready to quit, but I need help. That's why I'm here. I mean, look at my teeth." I show them my grill, realizing that a good handful of these people don't even have any. "I have to get these babies whitened every three months because of the dye in soda. Don't even ask how many cavities I've had. I've had a lot."
No one has said anything and leather-skin hasn't tried to tackle me, cut me up and snort me, so I carry on. "I hit rock bottom a long time ago." I snort, remembering the day I spent my entire check on the five-for-ten sale they had at the store. I had twelve packs of Coke, Cherry Coke, Root Beer and Dr. Pepper hidden all over my house. Edward came over and found them all right away.
After calling me a chain drinking freak, Edward poured all of my refreshments down the sink. He kept the Cherry Coke, though. He digs that shit when he comes over.
"I mean, I don't fuck for soda like you guys probably do for blow, but my skin could be a lot clearer if I quit cola, you know?"
They start throwing paper wads at me again, and leather-skin attacks.
I think the lady with the cowhide epidermis tried to skin me alive and wear me as a mask. Thankfully my boyfriend, and numero-uno supporter, was there to save me from her talons.
"I can't believe those people," I say, flipping off the mob as Edward burns out of the AA parking lot. "Can you believe them?"
He laughs, adjusting his rear view mirror. "Actually, I can."
"You're an asshole."
"And you're crazy."
Edward and I have known each other since high school. We didn't really date until after we graduated, but now we're, like, committed. And let's be real, he would have to be, dealing with a girl like me: The Crazy Cola Drinker.
But I wasn't always obsessed with the sticky brown sugar drink. I've always liked it, and I've always drank it, but I haven't always been insane about it. This is a more recent development. Luckily for me, I have Edward, and luckily for Edward … well, yeah.
We don't live together. We don't even attend the same school, but he's there when I need him: on weekends and holidays. And the community college isn't that far from Washington State, so we're good.
Listen up kids, coke addictions are no joke. They keep you out of "real" college and fuck up your future.
I was more interested in getting my next hit (my next can on A&W), than I was about studying for my chemistry exam or writing up my English report. My grades lacked, and while Edward packed up his belongings and moved to Seattle three months after we started dating, I … I, well, I packed up my belongings and followed him to Seattle. Only he stays in a dorm, and I stay in a one bedroom apartment I can hardly pay for because I'm too busy searching the internet for Coca-Cola memorabilia and hitting up the local AM/PM for a Big Gulp.
I like their crunched ice, shut up.
We're good together, though. Like tonight, he didn't want to go to the AA meeting, but he went with me anyway. I'm in desperate need of support, and Edward is always the very first one to be there for me. My dad doesn't believe I'm dependent on soda and their artificial sweeteners, he considers this to be only another game in my long list of games.
I'm an attention whore, shut up.
Maybe when I was a freshmen in high school I stole Charlie's police cruiser and lead the Forks P.D. on a slow speed chase.
Maybe I was hyped up on Coke and Root Beer.
I think that's why Edward loves me so much. I'm completely unafraid and unpredictable. I'm compulsive, and he's not. Edward is so … prepared. He labels things and keeps a schedule. He's never late and never breaks a promise. He doesn't look for attention, attention comes to him.
So we're like black and white, night and day, Pepsi and Coke.
But we're good, and so in love.
"You're twenty-third birthday is next week," Edward says, tapping his fingers on the steering wheel.
I ignore what he says, checking out his package. I look from his denim covered cock to his gorgeous fucked up hair and say, "Have I told you how beautiful you are?"
He laughs, reaching over to grab my hand. I reach over and try to grab his dick, so he settles for setting his palm on my thigh.
We're all about compromise.
"Like I was saying-" He smirks. "-your birthday is in a week, and I think we can kick this fucking habit by then. What do you say, B?"
I bite my nails. "Cold turkey."
He nods. "Yeah. I know it will be hard, but-"
I interrupt him and point to Subway. "No, Edward. I'm hungry and I want a cold turkey sandwich on honey oat bread."
We're in Subway, Edward buys me a large drink, and I'm standing in front of the soda fountain trying to decide what I want. I contemplate sticking my head under the Coke fountain, but the Edward appears out of thin air and says: "If you stick your mouth under that fucking fountain I will kill you."
So I settle for Sierra Mist.
He's sitting across from me, stuffing his face with a veggie foot long "Like I was saying earlier, babe," he begins, taking a drink of my soda. How convenient of him not to buy himself a drink; we're sharing.
He does this to me on purpose.
"I'll stay with you this week." He shrugs.
"Okay." I shrug back, slowly inching my hand toward my soda.
Edward grabs the cup, takes a drink, and leaves it beside his elbow… too close to the edge.
It's an anxiety I can't describe, but I'll try: My heart is pound, pound, pounding, my hands are sweaty, I can't breathe, I feel like screaming, and I feel like attacking Edward for risking the life of my soda cup.
He smirks. "Problem?" Edward takes another drink.
I clear my throat. "No," I say lowly. "Why-" I twitch. "-would there be a problem?"
"Are you sure?" He takes another long pull from my straw. Sweet, carbonated goodness flows into his mouth. "Because it sure looks like you're having a fucking problem, Bella."
I close my eyes and shake my head. I itch my arm. I itch my face.
Soda gives me the fucking itches.
"Nope. I'm fine." Lies.
"So you won't mind if I throw this out, will you?" Edward kicks my chair; I open my eyes. "Right?"
This is a test, and I will pass. "Throw it out." I'm about to have a seizure. I grip the edge of the table to keep myself from tackling Edward in the middle of Subway.
He stands up. He's laughing. He won't think I'll let him do it.
This weird kind of noise erupts from my throat, and as Edward walks across the restaurant, I become unhinged.
As soon as the soda hits it's trashy destination, Edward stares at me with wide eyes and I scream: "Whyyyyyyyy!"
Boyfriend has to carry me out of Subway over his shoulder.
It's been three days since the AA meeting; three days since I made a scene in Subway and was asked never to return; three days since Edward decided to stay with me until I kick my habit. We're sitting in front of the TV, watching Conan. My feet are in his lap. His hand rubs up and down my shin bone.
It's only he that stands between me and my glass of Coke.
I've cut down my consumption considerably since Edward's been here. After Subway, we came back to my place and Edward tore my apartment apart. He found all of my hiding places and threw out all of my soda, leaving only what I had in the fridge and a couple of two liters that were in my pantry.
The headaches were deadly at first, and I almost killed him, but the second day was better, and the third day is even better… it's the cravings, though. I've tried going behind his back, but Edward is good; he sees all, hears all, and I can't get away with anything.
He's rationed my soda consumption down to four cans a day.
I tried breaking up with him, but that didn't work. He laughed in my face and did dirty things to my hooha until I promised we'd be together forever.
Yesterday, Edward sat me at the kitchen table and made me drink water.
I almost died.
I saw the light, I swear.
I almost melted.
Edward rolled his eyes and exchanged the water for a glass of lemonade. My reaction was about the same.
After the water and the lemonade, we tried apple juice, cranberry juice, and Capri Sun. That's when I tried to dump him.
Edward suggested coffee to replace my need for caffeine, but coffee is disgusting. Even with a shit-ton of creamer and dump-loads of sugar, I still couldn't get it down.
I tired smoking a cigarette; Edward smokes, despite being a health freak. He thought it was a bad idea, but I was half-way convinced I could do it. That was until the smoke filled my lungs and I felt like I was on fire on the inside. Not to mention how bad my breathe smelled afterward. On Edward, cigarette smoke smells sexy, on me, I smelled like an ashtray at a bus station.
Boyfriend gives me a can of coke when I first wake up, another one for lunch, another in the evening, and I get my last for dinner. I've decided not to drink anything in between. I would go on a hunger strike, but when Edward makes me food, I eat … I can't help it.
He knows me too well.
Here's the deal: I've already had my last can of coke today. Edward ordered pizza earlier and I couldn't resist. I planned on going to bed right after we ate, but Conan came on and I can't pass up his skinny ass. Edward sips his soda slowly, though. He told me he would share; he even gave me a drink about ten minutes ago, but now I want more.
Now that I've had the taste again, I need it. All of it.
"Can I have another drink?" I ask, sitting up.
"No," Edward dismisses me easily.
"My birthday is in three days, give me the soda."
He looks at me. "What does your birthday have to do with my soda?"
"Our soda," I correct him, "and it means that you have to give me whatever I want. Birthday rules."
He ignores me and continues to watch Conan O'Brian.
Two minutes later, I'm straddling his lap. He's on to me, but he's not going to pass on sex. "Love me," I whisper into his ear.
His smirk transforms into a genuine smile. I can always count on Edward to take me serious. He loves me, despite everything, and I love him, too. Even if I'm only sexing him up so I can get a hold of the Coke on the table.
I mean, that's kinda why I'm sexing him up. I love soda, but I love Edward more, and when he smiles this way… well, you know.
It's birthday fucking great.
The soda is only an added bonus.
His cum-face is another bonus. It's so good: scrunched eyebrows and bitten lips. He does this little thing where he squeezes my hip bones so, so strong and whispers, Bella, Bella, Bella, into my ear, and it's impossible to deny him anything. It's almost impossible to remember that anything outside his whispers and lingering lips exist.
Edward's hands are under my shirt, his fingers dip into my skin, holding me a little bit closer with each squeeze, pull, and grip. I circle my arms around his neck, making little noises as he rakes his fingers up and down my rib cage.
Looking over his shoulder, I see the glass of soda; condensation drips down it's sides, leaving a water ring on the wooden table. I lick my lips and imagine what it would taste like as the brown, sugary, watered down poison hit my taste buds ... extraordinary.
"Stand up," Edward whispers, helping me off of his lap.
I rip my eyes away from the glass of soda, feeling more shaking than a I before: a combination of nerves, want, need, and love.
Edward notices and he sighs, "Baby."
I look at his face and instantly feel guilty. We treat this as a joke because it's s fucking unusual, but I have a problem. We won't ever let it come between us; that's not how Edward and I work, but sometimes it takes it toll. He would be there for me no matter what, and that's why I should quit, right?
Last year, around this time, we tried this. I went an entire ten hours with out a drink. I was shaking, downing Excedrin Migraine pills. I swear I had the shakes and the itches, but Edward stayed with me, rubbing my legs, arms, feet, and hands in complete adoration and support, until I fucking snapped, snatched a liter of Coke and locked my self in the bathroom.
He was knocking, warning me not to do it. "Bella, you've worked so hard." He was laughing, but I could hear the disappointment in his tone.
He stopped laughing when I unscrewed the cap.
I sat on the bathroom floor and drank the liter of soda in ten minutes. It wasn't until it was empty that I opened the door for Edward. He was sitting in the hallway, waiting for me. He smiled, didn't judge, and held my hair back when the soda, which I drank way, way too fast, decided to come back up.
The entire time I was puking Edward was behind me saying, "I fucking told you so."
Three months ago he dipped his dick into a cup of Sprite because I wanted to know what it would taste like.
Weird, I know, but you'll do anything for love, trust.
"This is so weird, Bella," he said, unzipping his jeans.
I was jumping up and down, clapping, about to get the two things I wanted more that anything in the world: cock and soda.
A girl can live off of penis and cola. Oh, and lip-gloss and Twizzlers.
I held the cup out for him and watched as Edward stuck his schlong into the clear soda. I wanted to take a picture but he wouldn't allow it. "I've already got my dick in a cup," he said.
After it was good and soaked up, I put my mouth on him. It tasted like I though it would: dick and soda. But fuck me if it wasn't the best moment of my life.
That's why I have to quit. For him, I can. "I'm sorry," I say, taking Edward face in my hands. "I can do this, right? I mean, really do it this time."
He isn't as panicked. Edward smirks, sticking his finger into the waist band of my leggings. He pulls them down my legs. I wiggle my hips until, I'm kicking them off of my foot.
With a knee on each side of Edward, he unzips his pants and pulls himself out. He still hasn't answered me; his lips kiss my neck, his hands guide us together. I feel his tip at my entrance and I whimper.
"I love you," he whispers, pushing my hips down until he is all the way inside of me.
My head drops back and my lips part. The soda is long forgotten; my body sparkles and shakes … he kills me every time.
It's my birthday and I don't want a fucking birthday party. Too bad for me, though. Edward has been planning this for a couple of weeks. It was supposed to be a surprise, but in a weak moment last night, after two days without a single drop of soda, he spilled the beans before I ruined everything by spilling a gallon of Dr. Pepper down my throat.
The headaches aren't so bad today, and I don't feel like clawing Edward's eyes out, so I can do this. Besides, everyone bought me presents.
"Hey, Dad," I mumble, making my way through the party. Edward stays with me, making up for my lack of enthusiasm.
"You look good, Bella," Dad says, cracking open a can of Coke.
The smell of floating bubbles and toxic, acid liquid gives me chills. I almost snatch the Coke from my dad, but Edward pulls me away from the situation. This is how most of the night precedes. I crave and Edward rescues.
He's my hero.
I try to talk Edward into taking me to bed, where we can make love all night long. That's what I really wanted for my birthday: sex … all day. But this is good. All of my friends are here, and while I want to break most of their arms and suck all of their blood for drinking soda in front of me, eventually I just give in and sip on a Capri Sun … and vodka.
Edward and I dance. We laugh and kiss and hug and touch. I forget everything, happy that it's my birthday and I have the best boyfriend ever. When it's time to open my presents, I'm super drunk and super excited. One by one Edward stacks these huge, heavy boxes in front of my feet
"From me," he says, kissing my forehead.
When I open the first one and see what it is, I know I don't have to open the rest to know they are all the same. No one else gets it, but I do. We do.
Edward is smiling, blushing …
"I love you," I say to him, looking back at the cases of water he bought for me. Only he would know to do this, and maybe I wonder what his dick would taste like if it was dipped into a bottle of water.

The fit is, of course, perfect as well, and all the details are there: 3-roll-2 front, ticket pocket, and working cuffs. The style is a mash-up of an Ivy League sack coat and an Italian Navy uniform jacket. The real magic is in the fabric. While this looks like a tweed blazer, it's a soft and comfortable as your favorite sweatshirt. After knitting, the fabric passes through a process called fulling to make it denser and thicker - "follatura" in Italian - but much softer and easier to wear than boiled wool. Cristiano calls it a "live fabric", which will adapt to your body with wear to become more comfortable like a sweater, but will keep it's shape due to the heavy jersey buggy lining.

Re: st: Re: Identify and Replace Values

The upshot of the example I provided was to use -tokenize- and a loop to replace your `others' variables with something that -inlist()- could understand.
The problem with the last 2 lines of code that you asked about again is that Stata sees the "if inlist(traded_models, "`others'")" part as "if inlist(traded_models, "``"aa aa"' `"f3"' `"f4"' `"f5"' `"g1"' `"g2"' `"g3"'")--if you're using the data I provided in my example (by the way, check out Maartin Buis's FAQ on how to run examples provided on Statalist ((http://www.maartenbuis.nl/example_faq/index.html))).
You'll notice that this matches up with what is displayed if you run " di `"`others'"'" in my example. The problem is, as Martin Weiss points out, that -inlist- expects the comma separated list which is why your last two lines of code returns 0 changes.
The combination of -tokenize- and a -while- loop is probably a bit more complicated than using a -foreach- loop, so you could exchange my previous example with the code below to get the same result using -foreach- (also, I've traced some of the -replace- syntax with -tr- (from SSC) so you can see how Stata is interpreting it):
inp str10 (traded_model new_model)
"g1" "f1"
"g2" "f2"
"g3" "f3"
"g4" "f4"
"f1" "g4"
"f2" "f5"
"g4" "g5"
"g5" "aa aa"
levelsof traded_model, local(traded)
levelsof new_model, local(new)
local onlytraded : list traded - new
local onlynew : list new - traded
local others : list onlynew | onlytraded
di `"`onlytraded'"'
di `"`onlynew'"'
di `"`others'"'
//FIRST, install -tr- to take a look at -replace- inside the loop
which tr
if _rc ssc instal tr, replace
//SECOND, run a -foreach- loop
foreach v of local others {
tr: replace traded_model="OTHERS" if inlist(traded_model,"`v'")
tr: replace new_model ="OTHERS" if inlist(new_model,"`v'")
This will give you the same result. Finally, you could use macro extended functions to change your others macro so that -inlist- will accept it without a loop of any sort. For example, substitute the -foreach- loop above with this code:
local others: subinstr local others " " ",", all
di `"`others'"'
tr: replace traded_model="OTHERS" if inlist(traded_model, `others' ) //note that you don't need the double quotes around `others' here
tr: replace new_model ="OTHERS" if inlist(new_model,`others')
^ Again, with any of these methods, you don't need to use -subinstr- to change spaces to _ for your models.

Happy New Year, friends!! I hope everyone had a great holiday season and is ready for all the exciting things to come in 2015. I know I am!
I realized a few days ago that I totally forgot to share all the fun we had at Camp Stitchalot this fall!! It was such a blast and insanely productive so I thought I should tell you guys a little bit about that weekend and talk a little bit more about our camp this coming May. Hold on, guys. This is a long post.
In November, we had the privilege of hosting Carolyn Friedlander and Sherri Lynn Wood at our shop and at the Hankered Inn. Carolyn was kind enough to teach her new Outhouse pattern in a small class at our shop before the festivities of camp weekend set in. This pattern is so cute and a really great place to start for a beginning paper piecer.
|Carolyn's class was the first one held in our new shop!
|Carolyn's Outhouse samples made for our class (from her IG)
|Local friend Maggie's cute, wintery houses made in class! (From her IG)
At camp we were treated to an trunk show with Carolyn, showing off her awesome needle turn appliqué, paper piecing, and quilting skills. I was dying a little bit-- she's one of my favorites. I love her style with simple and clean lines but it's done in a really organic way. So cool.
Our first class at camp was with Carolyn too. She taught us the basics of needle turn appliqué by way of the Aerial Grove quilt from her book Savor Each Stitch. The book does a great job discussing different elements of design in direct application to quilting. It's definitely one of the first books I pull when I'm looking for a little inspiration or if I feel stuck in a project.
|Carolyn's "Facing East" pattern. Such a cool pattern for a color study.
|Love her "Aerial Grove"-- her background with whites, low volume
prints, and soft yellows feels "solid" but adds just enough dimension
to a large area of negative space.
|Rose went with Liberty-- a perfect way to spotlight those
gorgeous, itty bitty prints! (From her IG)
|My mom Cherie went to camp with us and she opted for
Alison Glass's Handcrafted with some Cotton+Steel on
Essex Yarn Dyed linen.
|Here's mine-- I've got 3 out of 4 rows appliquéd so far.
I'm determined to finish this one ASAP and hand quilt
it. I see a new bed quilt in my future!
Sherri Lynn did a great job in pushing people out of their color comfort zones. She challenged us to throw in fabrics we never thought we would use and for most of us, the results were surprisingly awesome.
|So much curvy goodness! And such color! (From our IG)
We also learned some awesome tricks about sewing with curves using bias cut strips and even darts to get our quilts to lay flat! Look at all these awesome curvy pieces made by campers.
|Karen's color choices are killer and the Alison Glass Handcrafted
is the perfect pop of print! (From her IG)
|Here's Brenda's improv. It almost killed her to put in that strip of
bright pink but it looks awesome! (From her IG)
|Our friend Stephanie finished a top made from her improv wedges
made with a whole bunch of Paint by Carrie Bloomston. Awesome
job, Steph!! (From her IG)
All in all, we got tons of stuff done. This was, by far, the most productive retreat I've ever been to. Everyone was so into their new projects and it was awesome to see some finishes!
Now let's talk about camp this May. I'm pretty excited for this one because I know I'm going to learn a ton. We have Christine Haynes, Alexia Abegg, Rae Hoekstra, and Karen Lepage teaching us the basics of garment/dress construction.
|Our awesome teachers: Christine Haynes (top left), Alexia Abegg (top right),
Rae Hoekstra (bottom left), and Karen Lepage (bottom right).
I'm not much of a garment sewist myself and I will credit that to two things:
- Fit-- I am 5'11, my proportions are different from a woman of average height, and I don't know what to do with a pattern to make it look right. Whether you're busty (or not at all) or you're more pear shaped (or maybe you don't have a butt), short or tall, fit is always super scary. No one wants to waste their time making something that is going to fit weird. If I wanted that, I could walk into any retail store and pick something off the rack.
- Finishing techniques-- I love the idea of handmade garments but I do not want that "homemade" look. Basically, I lack the finishing skills to make a garment look high quality if I'm sewing it myself.
Luckily, over the course of the weekend, we'll be learning all sorts of tips and tricks to help remedy those concerns. Over the weekend, our guest instructors will be teaching to a brand new shift dress pattern by Alexia Abegg. The pattern isn't released until spring market (early May) but from what I've seen so far, I can tell you guys it's going to be super cute and will be a sewing success story for any of our campers. As soon as more info for this pattern is released, it will be forwarded along to campers!
So with classes this weekend, we'll first learn about proper pattern sizing/measuring, the functions of muslin making, and how to do simple adjustments. Basically, how to pick a pattern and prep for it. I always forget how important and time consuming prep work is so we're going to talk about all of that. Next, we'll learn about bust adjustment. This will be a simple instruction on small or full bust adjustment and will help improve the fit of the dress without changing the style. Hooray!!
After that, we'll take all of our adjusted busts and go into the rest of bodice construction including things like darting, shoulder seams, side seams, and even adding sleeves. Almost a whole dress is ready at this point! Finally, we'll go over simple finishing techniques to really polish your garment. Learn about hemming by machine or by hand, different seam finishes, bra strap stays, and even discuss the use of different specialty fabrics in future projects.
Like any other camp, our teachers are here to give you one-on-one assistance with your projects and help you through any questions you have along the way. That's really the beauty of Camp Stitchalot. You get to work right along with the pros in a small group for a whole weekend and get hands-on help while you're working.
So much learning to look forward to! Will you be joining us at Camp Stitchalot??

"According to the official account, Jesse James was shot by a man named Bob Ford, who fired one shot into Jesse's skull. But as THE MYSTERY OF JESSE JAMES shows, there are many reasons to question whether James really died on that day. From the newspaper stories of the killing and the death photos--which show a man who does not quite resemble known photos of James--to recent exhumations, INVESTIGATING HISTORY probes the persistent rumors and illuminates new facets of the James's legend. As we follow the course of the exhumation at Neodesha, Kansas, requested by the James family, authors like Ron Pastore (The Jesse James Enigma) and Betty Dorsett (Jesse James Lived and Died in Texas) detail different theories as to his fate. Forensic specialist John Clayton reveals what the bones have to say, and the James family offers their personal take on the story that has long captivated scholars of the Old West."--Publisher's website.

There is absolutely no idea of customer service or common courtesy.
They charged me the same amount for a 30 day prescription as for a 90 day prescription, and nobody bothered to call me to say that I could save money if I had the prescription resubmitted for 90 days. They charged me $112 for a 30 day prescription that would have cost $45 at the retail pharmacy. And, they refuse to accept any refunds. The agent said you can return it but your plan does not allow returns. And if you don't pay, it will go to a collection agency.
I would rather spend more money and deal with a friendly local pharmacy where there is a caring person and a commitment to service.

5:06 Jill Mahoney: What are the implications of Gillani's testimony for Rahim Jaffer?
5:08 : JT: problem for Mr jaffer now because he did have a contract with Gillani -- a contract that MPs are saying would have provided success fees
5:09 : JT: Proulx --Mr Gillani says one thng and it is opposite of Mr Jaffer -- who is lying?
5:10 [Comment From Marlene: ]I agree with Wes - why can't the committee get advice from their legal department on how to ask question so Canadians don't have to sit and listen to partisanship?
5:10 [Comment From VLJ: ]Why did the Tory members feel this was a good forum to score political points by mentioning the sponsorship scandal as a part of the majority of their questions? A scandal that was dealt with years ago has nothing to do with the task at hand.
5:11 [Comment From Tommy Tommy: ]Is there a lobbyist issue here now? Did i hear the contract state payment for lobbying? Or did i mi-hear that?
5:11 : JT -- problem with lawyers, however, is they do charge more than MPs -- higer hourly rate!!
5:12 : JT -- big problem with lobbying, especially since Gillani said he was not aware of the law -- and Jaffer has said he was not lobbying
5:12 [Comment From Bob Bob: ]I agree that based on today's testimony that Mr. Gillani appears to be credible. That is very much in contrast with the picture that has been painted of him in the past. It is very difficult to know who & what to believe.
5:13 [Comment From JR Arthurs : ]again, being unaware of the law is not a credible defense.
5:14 Jill Mahoney: Jane, has Rahim Jaffer officially been called back to the committee to testify again?
5:15 : JT: No, he has not officially been asked back.
5:15 [Comment From hcat: ]can jaffer refuse to attend? can jaffer refuse to attend?
5:17 : JT -- he could but then he would have to face consequences of being summoned and subpoenas.
5:18 : JT: all of the principals have come out to scrum -- view is that Gillani did much better job than Jaffer
5:18 [Comment From George C George C: ]Why was the Sponsorship scandal mentioned?
5:20 : JT: Sponsorship came up as way for the tories to get back at Libs
5:20 [Comment From W B Devitt III: ]The partisanship in the Conservative line of "questioning" was appalling. Trying to divert attention from one of their many current fiascoes...
5:20 [Comment From VLJ: ]Is it possible that Jaffer can be charged with perjury for (allegedly) making false statements the other day?
5:22 : JT: I don't know if he can be charged with perjury -- i think it has to be established who is telling the truth
5:22 [Comment From W B Devitt III: ]Not only perjury, but depending on the validity of Mr Gillani's documents, unregistered lobbying. Wednesday April 28, 2010 5:22 W B Devitt III
5:22 [Comment From hcat: ]he was far better prepared, and more credible - jaffer lied.
5:23 : JT -- i think the committee has an awful lot to sort out as a result of Gillani testimony
5:23 [Comment From VLJ: ]Sorry, perjury for stating that he didn't use his wife's office for his business but then Prentice stating that he had used his wife's office for his business.
5:24 [Comment From JR Arthurs: ]Did Jaffer take an oath before his questioning?
5:25 : JT -- i do not believe Jaffer took oath
5:25 [Comment From JR Arthurs: ]Gillani also had more time to get prepared, and the benfit of Jaffer's statements
5:25 : JT -- he was very well prepared; appeared to be confident and forthright
5:26 : JT -- good point -- Gillani did have the benefit of the Jaffer testimony.
5:25 Jill Mahoney: Jane, are there any other points you'd like to make before we wrap up?
5:27 : JT -- Thanks so much to everyone who participated and for your comments. we certainly haven't got all the answers and I think this story will continue for a few more weeks?
Jill Mahoney: No kidding! Thanks for joining us, everyone. For more coverage of this ongoing story, please check out our politics page.
5:28 [Comment From DanF in Markham: ]Jane Taber, thank YOU!! You are truly an asset of our Canadian democracy.
5:28 [Comment From Guest: ]i am no fan of Steven but i think this is all blowen out of wack by liberals
5:28 [Comment From JR Arthurs: ]For sure, thanks again

Common Plumbing Issues Around The House
Plumbing issues happen all around the home, usually at the most unexpected time. This can include low water pressure, slow draining sink, a running toilet, or clogged line. Even though many of the most common problems involving plumbing are easy to fix, some require the skills of an experienced plumber. Below, are the most common types of plumbing problems faced by the average household.
No Hot Water
Usually, households do not consider that the water tank is outdated or no longer functional, until the moment it can no longer produce hot water. Issues with a water tank may be nothing more than a tripped breaker, or a gas line that no longer provides fuel. Unfortunately, the lifespan of a water tank is usually 6 to 12 years. By that time, it has usually accumulated a large volume of mineral deposits inside the tank, making it very inefficient. Usually, the only remedy is to have a new tank installed by a licensed plumber.
Clogged Drains
The second most common problem with plumbing issues around the home involves clogged drains. This can be anything from hair stuck inside the drain just below the sink, to tree roots that have penetrated into the sewer pipes outside. It drain cleaners are ineffective, and a small plumbing snake produces little results, the household likely need to hire an experienced plumber, who can find the clog in the line. Many plumbers use CCTV cameras attached to a wire that can be fed down the line. This helps determine if the blockages caused by built up debris, solid waste, or tree roots.
Dripping Faucets
As faucets begin to age, the washer inside the valve tends to wear out, causing a drip. Even the tiny drip on either the cold or the hot site can cause water bills to skyrocket. This is because a small drip can actually waste thousands of gallons every month. If the drip is on the hot side, it is likely costing even more in utility bills, in an attempt to produce hot water around-the-clock.
Leaking Pipes
A leaking pipe is not always obvious to the homeowner. Many times, it can happen behind the walls, or in the basement or attic. A leaking pipe does more than just create an inconvenience for the household, but can cause extensive damage to flooring materials, drywall, insulation, wood, wood trim, doors and windows. If not properly repaired and allowed to drip over time, it can cause serious health hazards because it creates the ideal breeding ground for mold, mildew, fungus, bacteria and other contaminants.
Running Toilets
Much like a dripping faucet, a running toilet is usually an indicator that the working parts inside the toilet tank have become worn. The homeowner in a do-it-yourself project often handles these repairs. This usually includes replacing rubber gaskets, flappers and other components that can be switched out without too much effort. This is different from a leaking toilet, where the wax ring that connects the toilet to the sewer system has failed, leaking sewage onto the bathroom floor, or below the floor substrate.
Non-functioning Garbage Disposal
When a garbage disposal becomes jammed with food or other objects, it often becomes non-functional instantly. Usually, the only way to rectify this problem is to pull the garbage disposal and remove the debris or items. Before trying this, another solution sometimes works. Underneath the disposal, at the very bottom in the center, is an opening for a ºî Allen wrench. Simply insert the Allen wrench and turn it in each direction in an effort to free the motor from the lodged food.
Low Water Pressure
If some parts of the house have high water pressure, and others low-pressure, it is often the result of lime scale buildup inside the shower head, valve or faucet. Descaling products are available that can remove this buildup, in many cases. If not, the shower had her valve can be changed. This might require the skills of an experienced licensed plumber.
Plumbing problems in the home create a major inconvenience to every family member. However, with the right tools and a little bit of knowledge, some of these problems can be fixed by the homeowner, while others require extensive skills of an experienced plumber.
The Best Types of Drain Cleaning Practices
Drains are a very important part of a plumbing system. Waste and water is passed into the drain in order for the waste to be passed on to the septic system or sewer. Drains clog up due to a build up of grease, food particles, waste material and even hair.
You can ensure that your drains remain clear and clean by using a mixture of vinegar and baking soda on a monthly basis. If your drain does happen to become clogged up it is advisable to refrain from chemical drain cleaners that are usually toxic in nature. Try out a plunger on your blocked drain, if this method fails to work you can use a tool known as a (plumbing snake) for your drain cleaning purposes.
To make up your own vinegar and baking soda concoction pour one cup of baking soda directly into your drain. Wait a few minutes and follow with a cup of vinegar that has been heated up. At the same time pour down 3-4 liters of boiling water. The mixture will cause a reaction in the drain that will flush out any sediment build-up in your drain for a highly effective method in drain cleaning.
The baking soda additionally absorbs any odors that may be present from rotting food particles or old grease. The vinegar contains acidic properties that will work on destroying hazardous pathogens that may be present in your pipes. This mixture will work well on any debris that may have become loose in the pipes.
When your drain is clogged you can use a plunger that is designed to fit over the drain. Using a vigorous pumping action you should be able to dislodge the blockage. You should make sure that the plunger has attached to the drain with a strong suction. By removing the sink stopper and filling the overflow holes up with a cloth you should be able to achieve the strongest suction.
The next step would be to fill your basin or sink up with about 5cm of water, just enough to cover up the plunger. This action will further insure a stronger suction for your plunger.
If using a plunger has failed to dislodge your blockage you can use a cable auger or plumber's snake. You can purchase this tool at most of the home centers or hardware stores located in your area. It consists of a flexible steel cable that is long, the cable is wrapped around what is known as a crank used by hand.
You will need to remove the drain trap that is usually located inside the cabinet under your basin or sink. You will probably need to use a wrench in order to open the drain trap up. You will then need to insert the cable of the plumber's snake into the pipe and push the cable towards the septic tank or sewage system.
As you push the cable into the pipe you will need to spin the cable in a motion that is clockwise in direction. The narrow coils on the steel cable will grasp onto any blockages such as hair and food particles that have become lodged in the pipes.
If you are looking to unblock your toilet you can use a toilet auger which is a rigid version of the cable auger. This auger has a plastic sheath that covers up a part of the cable. When the auger is inserted into the bowl of the toilet the plastic sheath will protect the porcelain finish of the toilet. This will prevent any scratches to the porcelain when the auger is twisting in the drain.
If none of the above methods have worked in unblocking your drain you can either call in a professional plumber. Or you could use a drain cleaner that is chemically based. Unfortunately ,most chemically based drain cleaners contain toxic ingredients that can cause severe burns if it comes into contact with your skin.
Additionally chemicals can cause unnecessary corrosion of your pipes and disrupt the balance of good bacterial decomposition that is present in your septic system. Chemical drain cleaning solutions are however effective for removing biofilms. Biofilm is a black gooey substance that forms over time in your drain pipes. Enzyme cleaning products for drains are preferable for the use of septic systems.
The Benefits of Hiring Experienced Plumbers
Even a tiny leak from an inexpensive plumbing component can cost the homeowner thousands of dollars from damage caused by the water. In addition, it can disrupt the entire household for weeks on end, while repairs are being made to restore the area back to new. Because of that, if you are in the Waco area it is important to hire experienced plumbers Waco Texas trusts to handle every aspect of water and sewage systems in the home. This includes inspecting, repairing and replacing needed components on both the water and sewer side.
Do-It-Yourself Projects
Nearly every homeowner attempts to work on his or her own plumbing issues around the house. If the faucet has a small drip, or the drain line becomes clogged, the homeowner can usually use quick remedies to solve the problem. Unfortunately, most plumbing problems while not difficult to remedy, require a comprehensive understanding of the entire plumbing system. In addition, there are specific code requirements to repairing or installing new water lines and sewer pipes, by a licensed plumbing contractor.
Emergency Plumbing Services
Plumbing problems that cause an emergency usually never happen between business hours. Because of that, many plumbers offer emergency 24-hour service, to stop the water leak or a backed up sewer line. While many times, these problems are expensive to repair, it is often a necessity due to the damage excess water could cause the home. Most of the charges involved for emergency service repair include an "arrival" charge, and hourly "after hours" charge, and charge for all the parts, fixtures and components installed.
Licensed, Bonded and Insured
Plumbing contractors are licensed, bonded and insured. Their licensing ensures the homeowner that they have passed rigorous tests and met specific requirements to obtain the license. Bonding assures the homeowner that any unforeseen problem can be rectified financially.
The insurance they provide is twofold. Plumbing contractors must carry liability insurance to protect the homeowner in the event that anything else becomes damaged while they are at the house working. In addition, they are often required to provide workersí compensation insurance on every employee that shows up to work on the job.
The Services They Provide
Aside from emergency services, to repair a catastrophe in the home, they also provide valuable repair services to homeowners.
These include:
Adjusting Low Water Pressure – Many times water pressure can become low, and even stop, inside the home. This is often the result of lime scale buildup caught inside the shower heads, valves and faucets. Other times, it involves the main valve leading in the home that is restricting the flow of water to the house. An experienced plumber can usually adjust the water pressure to ensure it provides an adequate flow.
Leaking and Running Toilets – As the components inside the toilet tank begin to age, they often crack, shrink or warp. This allows water to run from the tank into the toilet bowl causing an ongoing source of water. The plumber can install new components inside the toilet tank to have it operate properly, as it was designed. Other times, the wax ring underneath the toilet that attaches the toilet bowl to the sewer line wears out, becomes damaged, or ineffective. This is a more dangerous situation, when sewage is allowed to enter into the bathroom along the floor, or in the joists underneath the floor. Usually, the plumber will need to remove the tank, and replace the wax ring with a new one.
Clogged Sewer Lines – Many homeowners experience tree roots that penetrate into the sewer lines and completely clog draining water. Other times, debris and waste build up can plug the sewer line. The plumbers use a variety of methods including boring and jetting tools to open up the lines and push the blockage to the main municipal sewer pipes, or out to the septic tank. When necessary, they can replace damaged sewer lines to minimize the potential of tree roots or sewage blocking the line in the future.
Plumbers provide a valuable service to the community in making sure that the water lines and sewer pipes of every household operates properly. While their services can be expensive at times, it is essential that every household maintain a quality plumbing system, to minimize the potential of unexpected emergencies.

AQUALIBRIUM – changing learners' lives one water competition at a time!
The South African Institution of Civil Engineering (SAICE) has just had their 13th annual Schools Water Competition. What started as a South African competition where learners had to design, build and operate a water distribution system, exactly the same way qualified civil engineers would do in a municipality, has over the past two years become international with Swaziland and Zimbabwe also participating.
Very few interventions or career days have the advantage of practically illustrating what a career is all about. The finals of AQUALIBRIUM, the SAICE Schools Water Competition 2016, took place at the Sci-Bono Discovery Centre in Newtown, Johannesburg on Friday 29 July 2016. This is an adventure that everybody remembers once they had been there to experience the excitement first-hand!
The 2016 winners, for the second consecutive year, was Hoërskool Diamantveld from Kimberley with team members Paul Henri, Zander Boshoff and Alecia Brits, with only 19 penalty points. The second place went to Hoërskool Oos-Moot in Pretoria, with team members Stefan Beukes, Ruhan Potgieter and WP Struweg with 30 penalty points. In the joint third spot was the Fundukuwela High School team from Swaziland and Domino Servite School from Pietermaritzburg with 40 penalty points. The Swaziland team consisted of Sanele Malindza, Buhle Malinga and Bonsile Msibi, and Domino Servite's team was Ndumiso Dumakude, Sphesile Nzama and Sehliselwe Hlonga. In total the winners shared prize-money of more than R23 000-00.
Regional winners came from as far as Bloemfontein, East London, Harrismith, Kimberley, Malmesbury, Pietermaritzburg, and Richards Bay, to combat the teams from Johannesburg and Pretoria, as well as the national winning team from Swaziland and Zimbabwe! Many of the teams were flown to Johannesburg and accommodated in a four-star hotel ― an experience that these young people, and some of the educators will never forget! For most, this was a first encounter with the 'big city'. Without the sponsorships of Rand Water, AECOM, the Water Research Commission, Mhlatuze Water, Bosch Stemele, EWSETA and DPI Plastics, this would not have been possible.
This competition affords learners the opportunity of planning, designing, constructing and operating a water distribution network and they encounter all the same challenges that occur in real-life situations!
The 2015 finalists' team from the Winnie Mandela Secondary School in Ivory Park, Midrand, are all (three) currently studying civil engineering at the University of Pretoria! Phomolong Secondary School in Tembisa, a really disadvantaged school where 80% of parents are jobless, has already delivered four civil engineers from the Universities of Cape Town and WITS! Currently the three winners of 2014 are studying civil engineering at the University of Stellenbosch – because of this competition! How does one put a value to a competition that has led to so many learners, especially from rural areas and townships, studying civil engineering and which, at the same time, makes a difference to the priority scarce skills situation and the lives of many people!
The competition
Water distribution systems are important to supply safe and clean drinking water to people. The teams are tasked to design a model water distribution network to distribute three litres of water equally between three points on the grid using two different diameter pipes and connection pieces. They are then judged on how well they execute the task – working on a penalty points system. The teams have a period of about an hour in which to plan, design, build and operate their network.
This competition exposes learners to the practical application of processes that influence their daily lives, which is how water gets to their homes. They are made aware of the intricacies involved in the design of water distribution networks and the actual water delivery to households.
The grid used for the water distribution network is on a background that depicts the entire water cycle with all the major impacts affecting this scarce resource. This grid intrigues learners, as well as educators, who find it a very useful educational tool.
The competition creates awareness regarding the issues surrounding water in South Africa. It spreads the message that water is a precious commodity, which should be recycled, re-used and respected, while the use of water should be reduced. Through this annual competition SAICE takes the responsibility of spreading the news that water should be used wisely, that infrastructure should be maintained and that new infrastructure should be developed to provide potable water to all in South Africa.
In two consecutive years (2012/13 and 2013/14) the AQUALIBRIUM initiative had the honour of being chosen as one of four finalists in the National Science and Technology Forum (NSTF) Awards, the oldest and most prestigious in South Africa, in the category where an individual or team is recognised for their outstanding contribution to science, engineering, technology and innovation (SETI) through science communication and through creating science awareness.
AQUALIBRIUM strengthens government's initiatives aimed at encouraging learners to take Mathematics and Science at school and to follow a career as a science or civil engineering practitioner. Only in this way can we assure that the quality of life of all South Africans will be better in future!

Magic circle firms dominate the M&A rankings for the first half of this year, according to specialist website mergermarket.com. Slaughter and May pipped Linklaters & Alliance to the number one spot, with 'minence grise Michael Pescod leading on two of the firm's outstanding deals.
He advised Unilever on its £12bn takeover of Bestfoods and Glaxo Wellcome on its £48bn merger with Smith-Kline Beecham.
Fellow corporate partner Nigel Boardman was ranked first by volume of deals, having advised on no fewer than 11 transactions with a total value of some £38bn.
With its role for Robert Fleming on its £4.8bn takeover by Chase Manhattan, Slaughter and May continues to hold its own in corporate work.
Boardman says: "I don't think the last six months is out of line with the general picture and it's a long-term strategy of giving clients the service they want.
"Marketing doesn't really make a difference. It's word of mouth and delivering the goods."
Linklaters also had a strong half-year, coming top for volume and second in terms of deal value. Star partner David Cheyne came eighth in the individuals' value table with fellow partners Charles Allen Jones, Lucy Fergusson and Stephen Boughton in joint sixth place and Iain Fenn ending the table at number 10.
Freshfields has slipped down the table – rated top for both volume and value last year – managing only fifth and seventh place respectively this half-year.
Allen & Overy has kept its number three rating for volume and jumped from 12 to six for value – much of this bolstered by telecoms deals such as the sale of mobile licences by the Radio Communications Authority for £23bn. Partner Richard Cranfield came seventh in the value table of individuals.
Clifford Chance mustered a decent performance in volume terms, despite coming tenth in value. It came a comfortable second to Linklaters on volume, suggesting a steady deal flow. Corporate partner Adam Signy says: "There's always been a myth among some City firms that we're just a finance practice. Hopefully these statistics speak for themselves."
Lovells failed to make the tables. According to the statistics, the firm is failing to keep up with fellow top 10 corporate practices. For volume, Lovells has moved up only two places to number 16 and for value up one place to 25. The firm's seemingly fallow year coincides with the retirement of the well-respected Dan Mace, although he is still a consultant with the firm.
But a Lovells spokesperson blames the low league table rating on the fact that many of the firm's big transactions are still in the pipeline. The firm is advising Granada on its £7bn media flotation and will almost certainly be involved on any bid Granada makes for either Carlton or United News & Media.

Taylor: SneakingMature
My name is Taylor. These 3 months of the zombie apocalypse have been really challenging, especially for a 14 year old boy. I was with my parents when we were attacked. My parents were both bitten. I was too. I lived close to a university and I heard they were making a cure. I didn't know what they were talking about but I had a hunch the cure was to stop the zombie infection from spreading.
I was scared and I was crying. I grabbed knife from my kitchen and walked out my house. The chunk that was missing was from my leg, so I had trouble running let alone walking. But I made it. I made it to the university. I walked in the front doors and scanned the area. This was just like one of my favorite games, Resident Evil. I didn't see any zombies or hear any so I thought it was safe to walk. I saw a map, I had to look for the experiment room.
With about 5 minutes of walk-running I saw a door with a sign that said," Experiment room" I walked in and there were lots of zombies. "Oh crap" I said to myself as I walked quietly in. I barely made any noise and the zombies didn't even know I was there. I tiptoed to the case that was filled with antidotes. I grabbed it and it started an alarm. But mostly there heard my scream from the alarm. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh" I screamed running out of that room and out of the university. For some reason when I run on my own command I run really slow but when I am running away from something I can run like the wind.
I opened up and I said,"Is this the cure?" It was and I injected it into myself. I felt a big relief like when someone sits on you and they get up. The chunk was still missing, of course, but the infection was gone.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety handed "Top Safety Pick+" honors to the Subaru Forester and Mitsubishi Outlander Sport after the small sport utility vehicles aced the group's "small overlap" crash test. In fact, the Forester and the Outlander Sport were the only small SUVs that sailed through the innovative small overlap crash test, in which the front corner of a vehicle on the driver's side collides against a five-foot-tall barrier at 40 mph.
The redesigned 2014 Subaru Forester received "Top Safety Pick+" honors after getting a "good" rating on the test. Joe Nolan, vice president for vehicle research at IIHS, said in a statement that the Subaru's engineers succeeded in doing well in the new test with the redesigned Forester.
Nolan remarked that this is exactly how IIHS hoped carmakers would respond to improve protection for people in these types of serious frontal crashes. The IIHS said that 20 vehicles have now received Top Safety Pick+ accolades for safety in small overlap crashes.
The tests simulate a crash in which the corner of a car strikes an object like a tree or pole. But they are yet to be included in the federal government's five-star ratings, although researchers say such crashes account an outsized share of driving deaths.
The Mitsubishi Outlander Sport likewise received Top Safety Pick+ honors from IIHS, but lagged the Forester with an "acceptable" score on the small overlap test.
Five other small SUVs -- the Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage, Buick Encore, Jeep Patriot and Ford Escape – all received "poor" ratings on the test. For instance, when the Patriot crashed, its steering wheel moved 8 inches upward and 6 inches to the right, making the crash test dummy's head slide off the airbag. Additionally, the Patriot's side curtain airbag failed to deploy, and its safety belt failed to restrain the dummy's head and chest.
