Skyrim is a big place, full of lots of people. Sleeping people. People minding their own business. People who may not enjoy being shouted at. Having the job of saving the world from gigantic dragons can be quite the burden. Sometimes you just want to let off some steam. Sometimes you just want to shout your feelings out. Sometimes you just don't feel like being nice...
The biggest prick in Skyrim
Why save the world when you can ruin peoples' days?

does the temp always drop before labor?
hi, I was wondering if the bitchs temp always drops before labor?
No, but do in the majority of cases.
ok my bitchs temp was 99.7 this morning then 100.1 this afternoon now its 98.7..all week its been fluctuating from 99.9-101.0..this is the first drastic dip.
234 Attachment(s)
It does in many cases, but you should also be looking for other signs, nesting, refusal of food, restlessness, panting.
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
Usually it will fluctuate up and down and up and down, gradually getting lower. Then it will usually stay low for a number of hours, maybe 12 or more, before climbing up to around 100 or so before whelping actually begins.
It sounds like you are getting closer.
Agree with watching all the signs.
For my dogs, that drastic drop would mean they will start to whelp in the next 24 hours.
her temp is 99.3 and no puppies yet? shes breathing a littler faster and has been basically laying down all day
Anything yet?

"This is the funniest tech support story I've heard in five years. You must read the whole thing."

Shark Tank: Sometimes the quickest solution is the best one
"The music-on-hold player continuously replayed a CD and fed into the simple phone system we were using," fish says. "Eventually the player broke. Since I had a spare PC in my office, I wired the audio jack on the PC to the phone system, ripped the CD and set the media player to continuous replay.
"I gave myself a pat on the back for coming up with an immediate solution and made a mental note to order a new player the next time I made an equipment purchase."
A few days later, a buddy from another department drops by fish's office so they can spend lunchtime blasting each other in a multiplayer computer game.
"He used the spare PC in my office and I used my workstation," says fish. "We were well into destroying each other when the CEO's secretary frantically burst into my office, scared, panicking.
"She explained in horror that our music on hold had turned into death screams and hellish demonic noises!"
Fish knows instantly what the problem is—the game's audio was playing on the music-on-hold system—and he takes instant action. He leaps up, tears the old music-on-hold player from the wall, throws it to the floor and stomps on it.
Meanwhile, his friend quits out of the game on the spare PC, and the music-on-hold system goes silent.
"They bought a new player that day," fish says. "And for a long time, you could still hear them talk about the possessed music-on-hold player."
Can't get enough Tank?

(b)Mission.—The combined force of the specialized forces established under subsection (a) shall be trained, equipped, and capable of being deployed to—
conduct maritime operations to protect against and disrupt illegal use, access to, or proliferation of weapons of mass destruction;
board, search, and seize any article or thing on or at, respectively, a vessel or facility found to present a risk to the vessel or facility, or to a port;
respond to criminal or terrorist acts so as to minimize, insofar as possible, the disruption caused by such acts;
(c)Minimization of Response Times.—
The enhanced teams established under subsection (a)(2) shall, to the extent practicable, be stationed in such a way so as to minimize the response time to maritime terrorist threats and potential or actual transportation security incidents.
(d)Coordination With Other Agencies.—
To the maximum extent feasible, the combined force of the specialized forces established under subsection (a) shall coordinate their activities with other Federal, State, and local law enforcement and emergency response agencies.
(Added Pub. L. 107–295, title I, § 102(a), Nov. 25, 2002, 116 Stat. 2074; amended Pub. L. 109–241, title III, § 305, July 11, 2006, 120 Stat. 528; Pub. L. 111–281, title VIII, § 804(a), Oct. 15, 2010, 124 Stat. 2990.)

begin to increase the number of detection canine teams certified by the Coast Guard for the purposes of maritime-related security by no fewer than 10 canine teams annually through fiscal year 2012; and
encourage owners and operators of port facilities, passenger cruise liners, oceangoing cargo vessels, and other vessels identified by the Secretary to strengthen security through the use of highly trained detection canine teams.
"(2)Canine procurement.—
The Secretary, acting through the Commandant of the Coast Guard, shall procure detection canine teams as efficiently as possible, including, to the greatest extent possible, through increased domestic breeding, while meeting the performance needs and criteria established by the Commandant.
The Secretary shall prioritize deployment of the additional canine teams to ports based on risk, consistent with the Security and Accountability For Every Port Act of 2006 (Public Law 109–347) [see Tables for classification]."

A Messsage from the Principal
Over the past decade King-Chavez Academy of Excellence Corporation has grown from the original Academy of Excellence in Barrio Logan with 75 students into the King-Chavez Neighborhood of Schools serving over 2,000 students in the Historic Barrio District and Downtown San Diego. We currently operate two state-funded preschools and six public charter schools ranging grades K-12. As public charter schools we are open to all who apply and are tuition free. King-Chavez Neighborhood of Schools is focused on closing the achievement gap between urban students and their suburban counterparts, promoting social justice through educational reform, and developing local leaders.
The mission of King Chavez Community High School is to seek excellence in Academics, Arts and Athletics from the Foundation of Love. King Chavez Community High School is structured on a liberal arts college model. The student's first two years of school consist mainly of core and required classes. During their junior and senior years, students have more control over their educational path, having the freedom to select courses that will help them with their goals in the future. Our High School is a dual-outcome (students receive both a vocational experience and meet the State of California A-G requirements of the California University System) high school. Our first class of seniors graduated in the 2012-2013 school year.
The vision of our High School is comprised of Five Pillars:
Pillar 1: Foundation of Love: We are a family, present in each moment with high expectations, demonstrating patience, kindness, consistency, accountability, and respect.
Pillar 2: Positive Relationships: Everyday we Love, respect, and collaborate. We share and honor our stories.
Pillar 3: School Climate of Caring: King-Chavez High school's climate of caring is based on the 3Rs: Respect, Responsibility & Relationships.
Pillar 4: Boosting Proficiency in Core Academics: We are a community of learners, boosting proficiency in literacy through high expectations and multiple strategies, such as SDAIE, AVID, and other methods.
Pillar 5: Data-Driven Culture: Student assessments will determine level of mastery to drive classroom instruction. Students have access to their individual data and use this information to direct self-learning.

Going to Extremes
The Extreme Sailing Series, a worldwide racing circuit starring high-powered Extreme 40 catamarans, is on its way to the United States.
Now in its fifth season, the series features 11 teams loaded with veteran sailors whose resumes include everything from world championships to the Olympics to the Americas Cup. Among the nine scheduled stops this year are the Sultanate of Oman, Englands Isle of Wight and Boston, Massachusettsthe first time the series has come to the United States since its inception in 2007.
Races regularly attract tens of thousands of fansmany of them landlubberswho turn out to see the fleet mix things up and enjoy the party atmosphere on shore. At the Boston regatta on June 30-July 4, spectators will be treated to everything from a live band to an air show by the Red Bull Air Force, while kids can blow off some steam on a climbing wall.
For me, as a non-sailor, this is as exciting as it gets in sailing, says real estate developer Joseph Fallon, whose 21-acre Fan Pier park and marina on the South Boston waterfront will host this years regatta. Fallon believes the series could finally strike the spark that creates a sailing audience here on par with the one that exists in Europe.
Mark Turner, executive chairman of OC ThirdPole, the company that manages the series, agrees. The circuit has come a long way since 2007, when we had just four European events and five teams, he says. We are getting closer to the perfect mix of established iconic cities, premium venues, great sailing destinations and emerging markets.
According to Turner, the Extreme Sailing Series is changing the way sailing is seen, bringing sailing to the people rather than the other way around. Judging by the crowds that turn out, its the right way to do it, he says, pointing to last years regatta at Cowes Week, which attracted about 60,000 spectators. (Cowes Week) has been going for over 100 years, but never before have there been crowds lining the shore five deep until the Extreme Sailing Series.
At the heart of the Extreme Sailing Series is the Extreme 40 catamaran, basically a scaled-up carbon-fiber Tornado with speed to burn. But theres a lot more to both the series and its success than just the boat. Courses are kept short and sharp to provide maximum drama. A typical race lasts just 15 minutes and collisions are not uncommon. Then there is the stadium approach to the event, which keeps racing and viewing areas in close proximity so fans can hear whats going on, as well as see it.
Of course, comparisons between the Extreme Sailing Series and the new Americas Cup world series, to be held aboard wing-sailed 45-foot catamarans, are inevitable. Everything from the inshore course format to the boats themselves seems to be cast from much the same mold. Two of the teams competing in this years Extreme Sailing Series, Artemis Racing and Emirates Team New Zealand, freely admit they are using it as a warm-up for the Americas Cup.
Turner says theres plenty of room for both series. We are flattered to be copied, he says. Multihulls are the sharp end of the sport of sailing right now with the Americas Cup continuing in catamarans, it enhances the appeal, but its complementary, not a competitor.
Traditionalists who feel such events somehow debase the sport of sailing should not be fooled by the graphics and onshore entertainment. Ultimately, the Extreme Sailing Series is about a bunch of great sailors maneuvering a bunch of great boats under extremely challenging conditions, and theyre doing it in such a way that hundreds of thousands of people around the world want to see the show. Whats wrong with that?

Eight years ago 12-year-old Juliet was abducted from her home in northern Uganda by rebels from the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). For six years she was held captive and forced to marry a senior rebel commander. At 16 she became pregnant. She underwent an excruciatingly painful labour and her baby died in her womb before being removed by an operation with no anaesthetic by a doctor using a razor blade. She became very ill and months later eventually persuaded her captives to allow her to receive treatment at a Kenyan hospital. She escaped the rebels and was finally reunited with her family in Uganda. She is now back at school and hopes to become a lawyer to bring sexual abusers to justice.
This summer Juliet (now 20) was funded by the charity, War Child, to spend a week in London publicising the plight of girls like her. She met MPs, officials from the Department for International Development and the Foreign Office, gave national radio interviews and was the catalyst for a House of Lords debate about the LRA. See her account in the video 'Juliet's story: child soldier to global campaigner', produced by Glen Milner for War Child.

Depends on the game. If you're going to play the game a lot then yeah it's worth it.
Examples of good Games on Demand: CoD, Mortal Kombat, BF3, GTA, Skyrim, Saints Row, etc..
Bad Games on Demand: Single Player games that you most likely will beat then never play again.
I mean, I'll always prefer Physical over Digital but I do have several GoD games that I've gotten for free or on sale. And a large Arcade Library.
No matter the debate about physical vs. digital, or if it's a rip off, it's pretty nice having the ability to just launch some of your favorite games in a matter of seconds.
No Thanks

Check the prices of physical copies before buying a GoD. In general they cost more unless the game is brand new, but sometimes they're close enough that it doesn't matter to you, or physical copies can be tough to track down.
Sales are the only other time they drop to prices that can beat physical copies, there's currently a Capcom sale on, check those.

I feel like this response is also applicable to games in general. If the question had been for full price physical copy games rather than GoD would the answer have been any different?
Can someone bum me a sig? I'm fresh out.
There's been times where GoD has beaten the price of a physical copy. Some examples off the top of my head -- before ToV got its reprint; when Dead Space and Mass Effect were price gouged due to the arrival of their third chapters; Hitman: Blood Money has always been cheaper sans buying the HD Collection; etc. It really comes down to smart shopping. If you are willing to pay a convenience tax on games that are a little more expensive than their physical counterparts, then that's your business. But unless you have something against digital distribution, then GoD is really just another alternative for you to look at, especially when you can't find a copy in physical form or if you just simply don't feel like shopping around and want everything in one place.
Only if you're not using Bing Rewards to give yourself free MSP.
But seriously, GoD titles, as it's been stated in this thread, can be a great deal. Sales, or otherwise. I never thought I'd be buying GoD titles, because I'm not a big fan of not having the disc, and manual, but I've gotten quite a few games, for decent prices, and I'm glad I did.
It's easy to check the price of a given game at, say, Gamestop's website if you want to see how the price of the game you want compares for the On Demand version versus the new and/or used version. But my philosophy is that any game I want to play is probably worth $10 (or 800 points) to own given that it's only a couple dollars more than a week's rental from Family Video. On the rare occasion that a Gamestop copy is lower than that, it may be worth the couple of bucks to me to not have to go out and get the physical copy.
Cheating has gone hand-in-hand with gaming for centuries. Video games in particular often have cheats built right into the game.
ok here is food for thought.
I got vesperia on games on demand which I think is now 3 years or so ago pretty much when it was released. I paid £20 and at the time it was 2nd hand on ebay for approx £70-100 due to severe supply issues.
So i got the game and obviously dont rgeret it as excellent game.
A couple of weeks ago I started playing the PS3 version which can only be partially installed to hdd, so parts of thegame are forced to be read of the disc. The loading times are very noticebly different so the game feels less fluid to play.
Now apparently the disc version of vesperia on the 360 cant be installed to hdd at all, so I imagine the hard copy of vesperia is significantly slower at loading than the on demand version.
Also its worth pointing out the conveniance of not having to insert a dvd a to play a game is quite nice.
So on demand is ok in my view, with the only real downside been of the risk of if they decide to pull the content one day so not available for redownload. I do now have a hard copy for the 360 as backup and of course my ps3 copy.
The downsides of on demand is they never the versions that include DLC, so never ultimate editions etc. I brought dragon age on demand, and was about to buy the DLc for it, then I seen the DLC costs over £60 which was crazy, The dvd version of the ultimate edition with all DLc was under £15 brand new so in that case I brought that. (even tho I already paid for on demand).

I was going to buy Borderlands 2 but missed the sale, now it's £49.99 on GoD, and in my local supermarket it's £15new, that just one example though, I'm sure there are a lot of games cheaper to download over buying a physical copy.

Coordinators of the Decorah Reads! program are seeking 20 volunteers for a May session. Decorah Reads! is a partnership between Decorah Public Library and Kris Lynch's 7th grade exploratory reading class. The program matches adult volunteers with 7th grade students for three book discussion meetings. Volunteers make a commitment to attend all three meetings in the chosen session.
Students choose a fiction book to read and adult volunteers find their student match by selecting a book from the students' list of titles. As a pair, the volunteer and student both read the book and meet three times to discuss it.
Through the Decorah Reads! program students learn about discussing a book with another person and they also receive encouragement from their adult partner. Adult volunteers have the opportunity to revisit childhood favorites and to nourish their partners' enjoyment of reading.
For the May session, adults may pick books up at the Decorah Public Library beginning Tuesday April 27. Meeting dates include Tuesday May 4, Tuesday May 11, and Tuesday May 18. The first two meetings will be held at Decorah Public Library from 9:00-9:25 a.m. The final meeting (complete with breakfast treats) will take place from 8:55-9:30 a.m. at Decorah Middle School.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Samiam signed with the indie label New Red Archives and issued their self-titled debut album in 1990. Once the record was completed, drummer Mortinsen left to finish college and was replaced by Dave Ayer for the band's first European tour. Their sophomore effort, Soar, appeared in 1991 and was produced by Bad Religion's Brett Gurewitz. Its follow-up, Billy, was released in 1992, after which Ayer decided to leave the group. The breakout success of Green Day, meanwhile, sparked a major-label feeding frenzy in the punk-pop arena, and Samiam wound up signing a contract with Atlantic. Not wanting to get that serious, bassist Brohm left and was replaced by Loobkoff's longtime friend Aaron Rubin (also of the Mr. T Experience). Meanwhile, original drummer Mortinsen returned for a brief period, but he was replaced during sessions for the band's major-label debut by onetime Redd Kross drummer Victor Indrizzo.
Samiam's first album for Atlantic was Clumsy, issued in 1994 and produced by Lou Giordano. The video for "Capsized" was a hit on MTV, and the group toured with the Toadies and later Bad Religion in support. While the album sold decently, it wasn't a smash hit on the level of Green Day's Dookie, and Atlantic quickly lost interest. A second album was completed in 1996, but Atlantic refused to release it, dropped Samiam, and prevented them from signing with another label for some time. In the meantime, Indrizzo departed for a career as a session musician (also joining the Masters of Reality), and was replaced by a drummer known only as M.P.
Finally, in 1997, Samiam secured the rights to their unreleased album and took it to the Swedish label Burning Heart, which issued it under the title You Are Freaking Me Out. The following year, it was picked up in America by the short-lived Ignition label, and the U.S. radio hit "She Found You" helped the band win back some of its following. Moving on to the Hopeless label, the band recorded Astray in 2000 with a new rhythm section of bassist Sean Kennerly and drummer Johnny Cruz. They toured Canada and the U.S. several times over in support before abruptly calling it quits about a year later, as members started taking other projects more seriously, like Lobokoff in Solea and Kennerly in the Fakers.
However, over the next few years, Samiam would prove not to be broken up, but more like on a weird quasi-hiatus, since they occasionally toured overseas. But they finally got it together in fall 2005, deciding to record another album, their seventh overall, to satisfy fans. Brogan had long since departed, so Kennerly switched over to guitar in his place, as fan-turned-bassist Jeremy Bergo joined on as well. The five members now lived all across the country, so marathon writing/rehearsal sessions were booked in the Bay Area to ready the band to enter the studio in early 2006 with producer Chris Moore (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio). The result was the dirtier, more organic-sounding Whatever's Got You Down, issued that fall through Hopeless. After five years, the band made a return to form with 2011's Trips. ~ Steve Huey

Placing the correct size rug in your space is as important as choosing the right color or pattern. A rug that it is too small will shift the balance of the room unfavorably. A rug that is too big, especially in open floor plans, may put the area designations off. There are a few rules of thumb, but a picture says it better.

The food is getting cold
Many Thanksgiving favorites are perfectly yummy at room temperature. Avoid too-cool food by keeping dishes covered with foil or lids until ready to eat. Anything that has an actual chill on it can be placed back in the oven―try to spread in a thin layer in a larger pan to speed things up.

On to my current NOTD. One of my all-time favorite polishes is OPI DS Extravagance, so when I first spotted Orly Miss Conduct from their 2012 Naughty or Nice Holiday collection, I was intrigued. Orly has long since been one of my favorite brands; in my opinion they have some of the best creme polishes.
Orly Miss Conduct is an absolutely beautiful magenta-raspberry based scattered holographic polish. This was one of those manicures I couldn't stop staring at throughout the day. And when in the sun, OMG! Drop-dead gorgeous! The application was almost a one-coater, but as I always do, I applied two coats. The formula was smooth and generated no flooding of the cuticles. These pictures are with a top coat. Using my regular polish application process, I experienced no chipping, or peeling.
I would love to see Orly release an entire collection of jewel-toned polishes with this finish. Could you imagine an Amethyst Purple, a Sapphire Blue, Emerald Green, or Citrine Gold, each with this holographic finish, OMG! That would be a must for my collection. Well I can only hope.
As I mentioned earlier, this polish reminded me of one of my all-time favorites, so of course I needed to do a side-be-side comparison. OPI DS Extravagance is darker and the holo is not as strong as Orly Miss Conduct. But both are still great additions to any collection.
OPI Extravagance can still be found in some retail locations. But since Orly Miss Conduct was part of their holiday collection, it is probably not still sold in stores. But I have seen it on some of the online retailer's websites.
Every so often I come across a polish, that I really regret having to remove, Orly Miss Conduct is one of those polishes. If you can find it, I would strongly suggest you grab it up quickly.
What are some of those polishes that you love and hate having to remove?
Grace, Peace, & Blessings.

You put a lot of effort into that post but I disaree there is very little to complain about. Contrary to what you stated, the game does not have a unique style. It uses clasic action rpg mechanics throughout, but tempers it with a ridiculously long regen rate which finds you wasting time waiting for health to replenish.
This is the only game I have played where I can click on the shop keeper and get a new inventory every time, not after a certain amount of time does it change, but right away.
I tried to stay interested in the game but it didn't hold my interest, too much tell not enough show.
If you don't stand behind your troops, feel free to stand in front.

Four Smoking Hot Stories
This work of fiction is intended for mature audiences only. All characters represented within are eighteen years of age or older and any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental. This work is property of Raminar Dixon, please do not reproduce illegally.
Episode One: A Good Hard Cleaning
After I was laid off from my job at the department store, the thought of having a few weeks off was the only good thing I could take from the situation. When my unemployment started to dry up and I still hadn't gotten an interview anywhere, I began to worry. That worry changed into determination, though, and I decided that starting my own business was the way to go. After all, how many really rich people do you know that work for someone else?
Thus, "Sexy Scrubbers", my house cleaning service, was born. I like to call it a maid service with a twist.
Lonely guys that just need a little help with household chores call me up and I come right over. Instead of spicing things up by wearing a French maid outfit, I decided my uniform would be a bikini top and a pair of brutally high-cut daisy dukes. It was an overnight success. Just like all my customers, business had exploded over the last month.
My latest customer, Ron, was taking great pleasure watching me straighten up the pillows on his living room sofa. He was quite the looker, and tall, too. Ron seemed like the kind of guy that would have no problem getting women, but I sometimes fantasies have to be purchased, I guess. He was firm and well-built, with a smooth, tanned complexion and a stylish crop of short, thick black hair. His house spoke volumes about how well off he was, but as usual, there wasn't much cleaning to be done. After washing a small handful of dishes, I picked up a few stray pillows and carried them to the couch he was sitting on.

This is a temporary project to repair damage cause by merging two profile at [Leibish Teomim-Frankel R' Liebus Frankel-Teomim, A.B.D. Czortkow].
It seems (though I am not 100% sure) that a person and his grandfather (with the same name) were merged by accident.
Anyone with any input, please help out. Thanks.
Following 'The Unbroken Chain' it would seem that the problem may be that there arae two Isaac Meir Teomim Frankel. One died about 1701/2. He was the father of Abraham Teomim-Frankel and Aaron Frankel and a daughter who married Aryey Liebu of Opatow.
Abraham Teomim Frankel was the father of ANOTHER Isaac (Meir) Frankel. This second Isaac Meir Frankel was the father of Liebish Teomim-Frankel.
Another problem is that the first Isaac Meir, the great-grandfather of Leibish, was married twice.
May I suggest the following to begin. The Isaac Meir that is the father of Leibish, as far as I know, does not have a record of who his wife is. Can we begin by removing the mother of Leibish and connecting his father, Isaac Meir to HIS father Abraham and HIS father the first Isaac Meir. Are there any objections to this? {Leibish Nash}

We've teamed up with popular children's TV show LazyTown, and its superhero Sportacus, to encourage kids aged two to five to be more active and eat healthier food. Sportacus is the healthiest children's cartoon character on UK television and likes to eat 'sports-candy' (fruit and veg) with every meal.
Eating well and being active can help prevent kids developing serious illnesses later in life. And new physical activity guidelines show that once they can walk they should be physically active for at least three hours a day.
Encouraging your kids to develop healthier habits early on means that they will then become a normal part of their everyday life as they grow up.
You can download special activity packs featuring the LazyTown stars.
Our new game, developed with our partners at LazyTown, is perfect for kids aged two to five. Sportacus and his LazyTown friends really enjoy being active – it makes them feel great!
In this game, Robbie Rotten has concocted an evil plan and cast a spell on LazyTown, making everyone fall into a deep sleep. Kids need to go to LazyTown and do some special activities to break the spell and wake everyone up without Robbie Rotten knowing they're there. Then they'll step aboard Sportacus's AirShip and return home as Games4Life heroes.
Blast Off is designed to encourage pre-school children to move more and make sure they get their 180 active minutes a day.
Kids should complete all the challenges on the board and then join Sportacus in his airship for a tour of LazyTown. From simple activities to Sportacus' "signature moves", kids of all abilities will be able to join in the fun.
The LazyTown Challenge is perfect for young children! It aims to get kids eating healthier and up and about. It also features Sportacus and Stephanie to motivate them to do as many activities as possible.
The challenge includes fun ideas for activities at home and healthy recipes, and the sticker reward wallchart helps kids track their progress as they become as active and healthy as Sportacus.
Quick, healthy snack recipes for kids

As you all know, I have a deep affection for my little men. Well, Janie sent me a link to the cutest stamp today, so I knew I had to pass this on and I had to include some other fun dog items for you to view. I so need to move so I can get one of these!!! The preppy dog could easily pass for a Carter or a Pudge and you can get a brown insert for all of you chocolate lab fans!
Iris gave my sister-in-law this Dog Book (along with an adorable puppy onesie) when she was pregnant with Max. And, I have gotten it for all of my dog loving pregnant friends ever since then. All the babies LOVE it! They can wag the puppies tales and pet the fur. Seriously, too cute! Mindy gave my two gentlemen this dog toy a few years back. They have since been featured on the cover. Twice.
This Christmas I found the perfect gift for Iris. She is very partial to her boxer, Bella, and her rescued mastiff, Josie. Are these not the sweetest salt and pepper shakers? They look just like her little girls. And, they are kissing!!!
Since, I am partial to labs, I am going to feature them below. But, Gianna Rose sells the most ADORABLE dog soaps. (I think Iris introduced these to me too.) The packaging is impeccable but the soaps are even cuter. Love them!
So, share your favorite puppy finds or any cute puppy pictures or, even better, invite me over to play with your puppy! ; ) It will make my day!

FLORENCE, S.C. – Francis Marion University held its 33rd-annual Athletic Banquet, Monday, April 28, in the university's Edward S. Ervin III Dining Hall. Most Valuable Player awards were given in 14 sports. An outstanding cheerleader award and a student-athlete award were also presented.
Junior Allyson Bigby (Easley, S.C.) was presented the Gail Summersett Outlaw Outstanding Cheerleader Award for the second time in three years. An English (liberal arts) major, she previously won the award following the 2000-01 school year. Her minor is business.
Junior Erin Jones (Dillon, S.C.) was presented the Conyers O'Bryan M.V.P. Award for baseball. Jones, a 5-10 right-handed pitcher, ended the regular season with a team-best 9-4 mark and a 2.84 earned run average. He set a team single-season record with 111 strikeouts, in only 107.2 innings, while walking only 11. Opponents are hitting only .249 against him, and he completed 10 of his 13 starts. He has helped lead the Patriots a 29-18 record and a No. 14 national ranking. The team is currently awaiting the end of the regular season and the announcement of the NCAA Division II national tournament field.
Junior Jaquan Bracey (Bennettsville, S.C.) was presented the Howard Stokes M.V.P. Award for men's basketball. Bracey, a 6-5 center, led FMU in rebounding with a 9.3 per game average, the 10th highest season average in team history and the highest average in 20 years. That figure also ranked him 34th in the final NCAA Division II national statistics. He was second on the squad in scoring (12.4 points per game) and his field goal percentage of 57.9 percent ranked 27th nationally. He helped guide the Patriots to a 13-14 record, a third-place finish in the Peach Belt Conference's North Division, and a nine-win improvement over the previous season – best in the conference.
Senior Jontell Johnson (Charleston, S.C.) was presented the Carroll Player Jr. M.V.P. Award for women's basketball. Johnson, a 6-0 center, led the Patriots in scoring (15.1 ppg), rebounding (8.2 rpg), field goal percentage (52.1%), steals (43), and blocked shots (67), while earning second-team All-Conference honors. She ranked 15th nationally in blocked shots per game (2.4), and during the 2002-03 season she became the Peach Belt's career leader in blocks (231). She was named to the PBC Tournament All-Tournament Team as she led the 12-18 Patriots to the semifinals of the tournament.
Sophomore Ryan Plexico (Columbia, S.C.) was presented the Alice Baker M.V.P. Award for men's cross country for the second consecutive year. He also received the Jerry and Jean Lee M.V.P. Award for men's track and field. Plexico was the top FMU runner in five of seven meets last fall and he recorded five top-10 finishes. His performance at the Overton's ECU Pirate Meet on Oct. 5 was the fastest time (26:23) by a Patriot runner in 12 years, and the 49th fastest in school history. He helped the Patriots to a fifth-place finish at the Peach Belt Conference Championship Meet with his 23rd-place showing. He also placed 44th out of 125 runners at the NCAA Division II South Regional Meet, where the Patriots placed 15th in the team standings. On the track this spring, he placed fourth in the 3,000-meter steeplechase and fifth in then 5,000-meters at the recent Carolinas Track and Field Championships as the Patriot men placed 10th in the team standings. He finished third in both events at the South Carolina State Championships. During the year, he also competed in the 10,000-meters, and he recorded the squad's best times of the season in all three events.
Graduate student Stefanie Schaller (Nuremberg, Germany) was presented the Most Valuable Player Award for women's cross country. Four times last fall, Schaller was FMU's second finisher, including a 46th-place showing at the PBC Championships, where the Patriots finished 10th in the team standings. She also competed on the nationally ranked Patriot tennis team.
Junior Fredrik Ohlsson (Goteborg, Sweden) was presented the Clifford Cormell M.V.P. Award for golf for the second straight year. Heading into next month's NCAA Division II Atlantic/Southeast Super Regional Tournament in Greensboro, Ga., he leads the seventh-ranked Patriots with a 72.38 stroke average. That average puts him on pace to have the lowest season average in the history of the program. He has posted five top-10 finishes, and in half of his rounds (13 of 26), has shot even or below par. He has not missed a tournament in two years. FMU owns a 106-42-2 team record.
Senior Dennis Salomon (Ann Arbor, Mich.) was presented the Jerry W. Wilson M.V.P. Award for men's soccer. Salomon, a 5-10 midfielder, directed the Patriot offense while scoring six goals and dishing out four assists. He helped lead FMU to a 15-5-0 record and the PBC regular-season championship (the squad narrowly missed earning an NCAA Tournament invitation). He earned both PBC "Player of the Week" and All-Conference recognition and was also named to the NSCAA/adidas All-Southeast Region Team. Salomon ended his career with 13 goals and 15 assists.
Senior Amanda Liles (Cincinnati, Ohio) was presented the Most Valuable Player Award for women's soccer for the second straight year. A 5-7 goalkeeper, Liles started 18 of 19 matches last season, while helping lead the Patriot women to a 12-6-1 record and a berth in the PBC Tournament semifinals. Liles faced 213 shots, posted two shutouts, recorded a team-record 109 saves, and allowed only 23 goals for a 1.27 goals against average. She was selected to the All-PBC Team, and ended her career as the team's all-time leader in saves (243), minutes played in goal (5,082), and matches played in goal (56).
Senior Amy Birch (New Port Richey, Fla.) was presented the Bobbie Davis M.V.P. Award for women's softball. A 5-9 right-handed pitcher and part-time designated hitter, Birch anchored the Patriot pitching staff with a 19-5 record, two saves, and a 1.54 earned run average. She struck out 114 batters in 136.1 innings, while walking only 39. Opponents hit only .207 against her. At the plate, Birch hit .294 with eight doubles and nine runs batted in. She helped lead Francis Marion to a 36-9 record (equaling the third-highest win total in the program's history), a fourth-place finish during the Peach Belt regular season, and a No.19 national ranking. Birch concluded her career as the Patriots' winningest pitcher with a 64-27 mark.
Senior Mark Bube (Nuremberg, Germany) was presented the Lorin Mason M.V.P. Award for men's tennis for the second consecutive year. Playing at the No. 1 singles position, the three-time All-American has registered an 8-2 mark and is currently ranked 36th in Division II. He owns a 9-5 doubles record, having played at both the No.1 and No.2 spots. Bube has helped lead the 18th-ranked Patriots to a 13-4 record and the program's ninth straight NCAA Division II national tournament invitation. FMU will play in the Mid-Atlantic Regional, May 3-4. Francis Marion finished fourth during the PBC regular season and fifth at the Peach Belt Tournament. Bube also became a four-time All-PBC honoree.
Junior Lillian Jamieson (Greenville, S.C.) was presented the Gladys Hite M.V.P. Award for women's tennis. She posted an 11-6 singles record, playing mainly at the No. 4 position, and a 13-6 doubles record, almost exclusively at the No.3 spot. The Patriots ended the year with a 12-8 record, with all eight of the losses coming at the hands of nationally ranked opponents. FMU was ranked 38th in the latest Top 40 poll.
Sophomore Shayla Tarte (Summerville, S.C.) was presented the Most Valuable Player award for women's track and field for the second straight year. She placed third in 200-meters and sixth in the long jump at the recent Carolinas Track and Field Championships as the Patriot women placed eighth in the team standings. At the Coastal Carolina University Opener Meet, she won both the 100- and 200-meters while finishing third in the long jump.
Junior Kim Covil (Castle Hayne, N.C.) was presented the Joseph B. Durant M.V.P. Award for women's volleyball. A 5-11 outside hitter, Covil led the Patriots in kills (376), service aces (44), and digs (334). She ranked third on the squad in hitting percentage (.203) and fourth in total blocks (77), while posting 11 double-doubles (kills/digs). She helped lead the young Francis Marion team to a 13-22 mark last fall and a fifth-place finish during the PBC regular season.
Junior women's soccer player Jessica Skarzinski (Charles Town, W.V.) was presented the Debra Lee Orander Swamp Fox Academic Award. An All-Conference and All-Region selection on the playing field, she owns a 3.78 grade point average in the classroom as a biology major. She is a member of the Phi Kappa Phi and Tri Beta honor societies, and is a member of Chi Alpha Sigma, the National College Athlete Honor Society. She has been named to the PBC Presidential Honor Roll and the FMU Athletic-Academic Honor Roll each of her years at FMU, and has been on either the university's President's List or Dean's List, all five of her semesters at Francis Marion. This past fall on the soccer field, the 5-5 back anchored the Patriot defense, while also scoring her first collegiate goal. She has started all 60 matches during her three seasons. She is a three-time All-Conference performer and has been twice selected to the All-Region squad.
Of the 10 FMU athletic teams that keep won-loss records (excluding the cross country and track and field squads that compete in multi-team events), seven registered winning records this past year, and seven have appeared in national poll rankings.

Good News from Copenhagen
posted at 11:07 am on December 8, 2009 by Track-A-'Crat
Via The Guardian:
The UN Copenhagen climate talks are in disarray today after developing countries reacted furiously to leaked documents that show world leaders will next week be asked to sign an agreement that hands more power to rich countries and sidelines the UN's role in all future climate change negotiations.
Awesome. And it gets better, with the documents purportedly pushing to:
• Force developing countries to agree to specific emission cuts and measures that were not part of the original UN agreement;
• Divide poor countries further by creating a new category of developing countries called "the most vulnerable";
• Weaken the UN's role in handling climate finance;
• Not allow poor countries to emit more than 1.44 tonnes of carbon per person by 2050, while allowing rich countries to emit 2.67 tonnes.
The fig leaf of global absolutism has fallen. In the aftermath of Climategate, the conspirators at Copenhagen (those countries who drafted the secret text supposedly operate under the comical moniker of "the circle of commitment." Dum dum duuummm!) are engaging in a spectacular double-or-nothing gambit. As with the domestic US political scene, Obama is in the vanguard of efforts to push something, anything, through before support for self-enslavement deteriorates even further.
Though reports centering on the leaked documents contain an element of conjecture, its existence should surprise no-one: the prime motivation underlying the war on carbon emissions is unbridled megalomania, whether on the national or international stage.
There is nothing – not one human activity, from birth until death – that does not result in the release of carbon dioxide. With this being the case, there is nothing to which such legislation could not potentially be deemed applicable, and nothing for which it could not then be used as justification.
If this appears to be verging on the hysterical, consider this: when was the last time that the political class awarded itself new powers, which were then left on the shelf?
Never is when. County councils in the UK, for instance, have used the cover of recently enacted anti-terror laws to spy on families suspected of putting their trash out on the wrong day. Which is totally what the legislation was intended to be used for. Totalitarian climate change legislation would be exploited to even worse effect.
"Climate change" hyperactivity hurts those who can least afford it the most, in both the developed and developing worlds. Should the LDCs jump ship, climate change talks will be as paralyzed as the moribund Doha development round. Even Obama would hesitate (I hope) to conclude an agreement binding only the developed nations to self-destruction.
AllahP might just have to get the Humpbot cameo prepared…

Cutest Video Ever: Baby Lion Cubs Play With Dogs [VIDEO]
This is one of the cutest videos I have ever seen.
Here are a couple of baby Lion cubs from South Africa that are best buddies with some dogs.
The white Lion, Novaro, is 3 weeks old and the brown one, Nola, is 8 weeks old.
Be prepared for a cuteness factor of 1,000.

When I was watching this all I could here in my head was the theme from'The Courtship of Eddie's Father.
While I'm on the subject of cute Lion cubs, check out this little fella in Serbia trying to get her 'roar on.'

Around the sides of the phone you'll find a volume rocker, micro USB port for charging and data transfer, an HDMI out and a 3.5mm headphone jack. On the front is a 1.3 megapixel camera for video-calling and on the rear is an 8 megapixel camera capable of capturing 1080p video.
The phone is powered by a dual-core 1.2GHz processor which is backed up by 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage. This can be expanded with a microSD card up to a further 32GB.The phone measures 127 x 67 x 12.7mm and weighs 178g - though feels lighter in reality.
The phone runs Android 2.3.5 but Motorola has guaranteed this will be upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich by the second quarter of 2012. The Android UI has been skinned by Motorola and the company has included the MotoCast software for remote TV viewing and Smart Actions, which can help save your battery life. It is also compatible with the various webtop peripherals such as the Lapdock.
Speaking of battery life, Motorola promises 12.5hr talk time with 8.5 days standby time from the 1785mAh battery.
We'll have to wait to see if Motorola will change from tradition and bring this latest Droid to the UK but we won't be holding our breath - which is a pity as it's a decent phone with an excellent keyboard.
Let us know what you think of the Motorola Droid 4 in the comments below.

Katina wants to end marriage with Dolphins' Jason Taylor
There are 114 comments on the South Florida Sun-Sentinel story from Jul 10, 2006, titled Katina wants to end marriage with Dolphins' Jason Taylor. In it, South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports that:Katina Taylor, sister of Dolphins linebacker Zach Thomas, has filed for divorce from defensive end Jason Taylor, claiming in court documents that the couple's marriage is 'irretrievably broken.' Her latest ...

I just hope this doesn't affect Taylor and Thomas. It sucks.
#2 Jul 11, 2006
I feel it won`t,at least not professionally. Even though mighty Miami is destined to win the Super Bowl,events like this only serve to put things in their proper perspective. I wish Jason,his soon-to-be-ex wife, and their family well.
#3 Jul 11, 2006
Why does she have to go and throw drama into our season. Just when it was looking so bright, now we have to wonder if Zach and Jason can play nice. Thanks Katina.
#4 Jul 11, 2006
it sure can't help team chemistry, huh? i just hope it doesn't hurt it
#5 Jul 15, 2006
Better that this occurs now than during the season.

Another greedy woman
#8 Aug 1, 2006
Yes, another greedy woman. She wants alimony, child support, and legal fees. What a setup. At this rate, marriages will be extinct in less than 100 years or the entire definition of marriage will be something completely different than what it used to be. We may still use the word "marriage" but we are quickly moving toward prostitutionalized lease agreements. Women are usually smarter than us though, as other than Britney Spears, you don't see too many women with money "marrying down" to get a guy. Guys like Jason Taylor have got to be smarter. Sure, her brother, Zach Thomas is a mult-millionaire, but Taylor doesn't get to use Zach's income in the divorce decree....and NO ONE stays married anymore so I don't see why these guys keep falling for it. You'd come out cheaper just paying for an expensive apartment for a woman and then just not paying the rent when either of you decide to end the relationship. Lastly, if athletes are pampered, what in the $#@! do the wives have to be so upset about?!! If I made 6 million dollars a year like Jason Taylor and my wife didn't work, when I come home she should be butt-naked with four of her friends!!
#9 Aug 1, 2006
502What I meant to say was that if we considered the athletes themselves pampered, then we can multiply that "pampering" 100 times for an unemployed or "underemployed" wife who the government is allowing to be a marital prostitute so that they can capitalize on the divorce. Let's face it, if it was not profitable to divorce Katina Taylor wouldn't be doing it. This way, she gets all of the benefits of being married to a superstar athlete without any of the responsibilities. Yes, raising children is a huge responsibility but being subsidized with over 1/2 million dollars a year helps with that quite a bit. If she had to pay Jason half a million a year, I'm sure she'd be staying put. Maybe as a part of the divorce settlement, she should have to go on the field and try to making a few tackles. This is really sickening to me. How can anyone see these situations as anything other than prostitution?!!!
#10 Aug 1, 2006
if he loved his wife he would have keep his you know what in his pants instead of whoring all over town. Maybe then she would stay and you guys wouldn't worry about the drama on the field!
#12 Aug 8, 2006
True statement.
Exhibit A- Kobe Bryant
Exhibit B- OJ Simpson
#13 Aug 10, 2006
Are you kidding me..first of all Katina and Jason have 3 children and I don't think it is right of you to be calling either one of them whores. This is their person business and maybe they are just having some personal problems.(stay out of it and worry about Jason on the field not off)
And as for the "no white girl wants a 6'5 275lbs black man who isn't a professional athlete." get the hell out of here!! I am a white girl and if Jason Taylor were poor I would still want him hes freakin gorgeous, and is very polite and down to earth when I met him and whenever he does an interview. He is educated and articulate. Color isnt an issue.
#14 Aug 10, 2006
DO NOT compare Jason Taylor to OJ and Kobe. Those two are scumbags..OJ killed someone and Kobe raped someone...Jason is just getting a divorce, Damn leave him alone!
#17 Aug 10, 2006
OJ was acquitted in the criminal trial by a jury of his peers, and Kobe's accuser dropped the charges after her previous life as a scheming lying whore came back to haunt her.
Fact is, he's an athlete. The rules have been the same since the dawn of time. Three things in life are certain:
Professional athletes will cheat on their wives.
#18 Aug 10, 2006
you know what, if you were an athlete and women were throwing themselves at you, you would cheat just like the rest of the cheatin men in this world!
Maybe Katina really believed that Jason loved her and wouldnt. And who said they are breaking up because he cheated, you are all just speculating! Worry about the stuff on the field if you are TRUE dolphin fans
#19 Aug 10, 2006
I'm actually not a Dolphin fan. And if you believe that Jason Taylor loves his wife so much he has never know the fruit of another woman, then she's officially the second dumbest person is the state of Florida for filing for this divorce.
#20 Aug 10, 2006
I dont live in Florida jerk
United States
#21 Aug 10, 2006
Please ...
Jason is the one bringing drama into the season. A few things to consider - Katina's parents are independently wealthy (completely outside of Zach's success.) She doesn't need his money.
Maybe she is naive, but maybe she thought she was actually getting a husband. He talks about the importance of religion and family in his life, lists the bible as his favorite book and at the time they met was best friends with her brother. I don't think it was unrealistic of her to think under those circumstances that he should and would be faithful to her.
Clearly he has not been. Even the local paper busted him by publishing a piece about him being out with his beautiful wife when in fact she was sitting home alone that night seven months pregnant.
And if it wasn't really bad do you really think she risk facing the ire of you superfans who don't think athletes should have to comply with common decency and respect for your wife or the backlash from her very Catholic parents who think divorce is not an option.
She even gave him a second chance to avoid all this drama you are saying she caused. She initially filed in January - one month after she gave birth to their daughter - and then dropped it. By refiling, it is clear that even after he was busted the first time, Jason didn't care enough about his family and did it again.
And Jason knowing brought the drama to the team. You think he forgot that he brother in law plays next to him and might not take kindly to him messing over his sister.
So if there is drama - put the blame where it lies.
#22 Aug 10, 2006
So, was he cheating on her? I have never heard where he cheated, from what I understand they are still very good friends they just grew apart from each other. And yea, O.J. was aquitted but that doesn't mean he didn't do the crime.
#23 Aug 10, 2006
Actually I was referring to Jeb Bush. I don't need to throw around insults online, I'm not a keyboard thug.
