As I sat down to write this blog article one rainy day, my focus was on an outstanding new book, Extreme Makeover: Women transformed by Christ, Not Conformed To the Culture, by syndicated radio talk show host, Teresa Tomeo. And just before posting it, I stumbled across a recent audience address our beloved new pope gave with an important message to women that compliments and reinforces Teresa's message quite beautifully. I'd love to share their two messages with you now.
Since his election, Pope Francis has definitely been creating waves among Catholics and non-Catholics alike. In his April 3rd audience, he continued his controversial comments that unfortunately left feminists feeling let down (I say unfortunately because if they just listened to the heart of the message, they would see the truth of how important women's role in the Church is), but in a way that I believe brings a powerful and exciting message to women everywhere and of all ages.
He explained that "…in the New Testament, only men are remembered as witnesses of the Resurrection, the Apostles, but not the women. This is because, according to the Jewish Law of the time, women and children were not considered reliable, credible witnesses."
That may not sound exciting to you, but Pope Francis led with that statement on purpose, with the goal of helping us realize how powerful his next statement would be:
In the Gospels, however, women have a primary, fundamental role. The GOSPEL account is NOT culturally-conditioned, locked into a woman-repressing mentality… Here we can see an argument in favor of the historicity of the Resurrection: if it were invented, in the context of that time it would not have been linked to the testimony of women. Instead, the evangelists simply narrate what happened: the women were the first witnesses. This tells us that God does not choose according to human criteria: …the first witnesses of the Resurrection are women. This is beautiful, and this is the mission of women, of mothers and women, to give witness to their children and grandchildren that Christ is Risen!"
The pope's point firmly supports the important message of Teresa's book, which flays wide open the societal myths of how women are to achieve "happiness" and contrasts those faulty messages with a celebration of the important role of women in connection with the truth and beauty of the Catholic faith.
One of my favorite chapters in her book is Chapter 6: Our Biggest Fan, Our Biggest Liberator: Jesus, His Church, And The Dignity Of Women, where she opens her dialog with a quote from John Paul II, the exact point our new pontiff made: Women were the first at the tomb.
Just as timely and important as Pope Francis' remarks, Teresa shows no fear in tackling the misunderstandings and urban legends that surround the female pursuit of happiness we are witnessing today. She writes:
Women have, in many ways, become their own worst enemies by believing they must act like men behaving badly in order to achieve fulfillment and happiness.
Isn't that the essence of modern femininity? No wonder so many women are on anti-depressants. They are chasing an "ideal" and lifestyle that is so far removed from the truth, it couldn't possibly bring happiness.
I, personally, have never looked at a woman's physical appearance and thought, "Wow. She's ugly." That's because I think all women, by virtue of their femininity are beautiful. But I have encountered women, even gorgeous women, who have struck me as very ugly because of the manner in which they present themselves. They use foul language, they have no respect for their bodies, and they've bought into the lie that they must be bad to loved, nasty to be respected, and self-serving to get ahead. All that is so contrary to the dignity to which Christ elevated women, and the truth and beauty of real feminism. Teresa's book, and the Holy Father's message, brings a very necessary conversation to the forefront; one that forces people to choose truth or continue to believe a lie.
Another great aspect of Tomeo's Extreme Makeover is Chapter 7, Extreme Media Makeover: Your Personal Media Reality Check And Spiritual Beauty Plan. This, coupled with all the questionnaires at the end of each chapter, really provide important food for thought coupled with essential tools to begin your own transformation into the woman Christ intended you to be.
I encourage you to pick up Teresa Tomeo's book, available at Ignatius Press. Get ready for a fresh and exhilerating breeze to blow through your life. And as always, let us pray for our new pope, Francis, for his continued guidance and example of love for the world.
As always, feel free to send me your comments, questions or disagreements to firstname.lastname@example.com.

A new research study shows that co-sleeping is best for kids right up to ages three and four.
There is actually a wealth of research that I discuss in my book, to support co-sleeping, yet it rarely makes the headlines in the mainstream. Most parents fear that co-sleeping and SIDS are interlinked and it simply isn't true. Unless you are grosly overweight, a smoker, or a heavy drinker/drug user the safest, and most desirable, place for your child is right by your side for as long as they want. Many co-sleepers have a family room/bed that accommodates everyone – large and small. Honestly, I find there really isn't anything nicer than waking up with all my crew snuggled up together – BLISS!

What if Envato founders get a good deal and sell their startup which is the entire brand of Envato? That would mean we all theme designers etc would be doomed, right? Especially those who have sinked in both their feet into making themes full time on themeforest!
Very unlikely that will happen. The envato brand grows and grows and is making a lot of money, there is no reason to sell it as long as it brings a fortune to their owners.
Then we as buyers and authors better make sure we give Envato a good enough reason to stay true to itself and not be tempted enough to sell out.
Oh and also, even when it is sold to anyone, why should the authors be doomed. We are the reason why these sites make money, even under another headquarter we will be the only reason why people spend money here.
First of all, Envato wouldn't sell the entire brand that easily, maybe ever… If it happens, then no one knows what comes next.
yeah i dont see it happening.. ive been a proud member going on 4-5yrs and their are many other members been on here longer then me.. envato is going to be around for a very long time
Do you want to buy it?
@NovakZvaniNovak: Hey no mate – I don't have that much money to buy Envato
NovakZvaniNovak saidif i had that kind of money.. i would fly to meet the owner of envato
Do you want to buy it?
I would buy it but I'm currently making a bid for facebook so I don't have the liquidity.

"Christians 'In the Know': The Worlds of Early Christian Gnosticism"
by Bart D. Ehrman
The Tenets of Gnosticism
As we have seen, Gnostic Christians maintained that in the beginning there was only One. This One God was totally spirit, totally perfect, incapable of description, beyond attributes and qualities. This God is not only unknown to humans; he is unknowable. The Gnostic texts do not explain why he is unknowable, except to suggest that he is so "other" that explanations—which require making something unknown known by comparing it to something else—simply cannot work. CHRISTIANS "IN THE KNOW" - pg. 123
According to sundry Gnostic myths, this one unknowable God, for some unknowable reason, generated a divine realm from himself. In some of these myths, the perfect essences of this One become themselves, somehow, self-existent. So, for example, this One spends eternity thinking. He thinks, of course, only of himself, since he is all there is. But his thought itself must exist, since he thinks. And so his thought becomes its own entity. Moreover, this One always exists. And so his eternal existence, his eternality, exists. And so it becomes its own entity. This One is living; in fact, he is Life. And so his life itself exists. Life then becomes its own entity. And so on.
Thus there emerge from this One other divine entities, emanations from the one, called aeons (Thought, Eternality, Life, etc.); moreover, some of these aeons produce their own entities, until there is an entire realm of the divine aeons, sometimes called the Fullness or, using the Greek term, the Pleroma.
The Gnostic myths are designed to show not only how this Pleroma came into existence in eternity past but how the world we live in came into being and how we ourselves came to be here. What these myths appear to have in common is the idea that there is a kind of downward movement from spirit to matter, that matter is a denigration of existence, the result of a disruption in the Pleroma, a catastrophe in the cosmos. In some of these systems, it is the final aeon who is the problem, an aeon called Wisdom or, using the Greek term, Sophia. The myths have different ways of explaining how Sophia's "fall" from the Pleroma led to the awful consequences of the material world. One of the more familiar myths is found in the Secret Book of John, an account of a revelation given to John the son of Zebedee by Jesus after his resurrection. This book was one of those discovered (in several versions) near Nag Hammadi in 1945; a version of its myth can also be found in the summaries of Irenaeus. In this Gnostic myth, Sophia decides to generate a divine being apart from the assistance of her male consort, leading to a malformed and imperfect offspring. Fearful that her misdeed will be uncovered, she removes her offspring from the divine realm into a lower sphere where no one can see him, and she leaves him then to his own devices. She has named him Yaldabaoth, a name reminiscent of "Yahweh, Lord of Sabbaths," from the Old Testament, for this malformed and imperfect divine being is the Jewish God.
According to this form of the myth, Yaldabaoth somehow manages to steal divine power from his mother. He then moves far off from her and uses his power to create other lesser divine beings-the evil cosmic forces of the world-and the material world itself. Since he is the creator, he is often called the Demiurge (Greek for "maker"). Yaldabaoth is ignorant of the realm above him, and so he foolishly declares, "I am God and there is no other God beside me" (Isa. 45:5-6). But he, along with his divine henchmen who have helped him create the world, are shown a vision of the one true God; they then declare among themselves, "Let us create a man according to the image of God" (i.e., the true God they have just seen-cf. Gen. 2:7). And so they make Adam. But Adam, not having a spirit within him, is completely immobile.
God then tricks Yaldabaoth into conveying the power of his mother into this inanimate being, by breathing the breath of life into it, thereby imparting the power of Sophia into humans, making them animate and giving them a power greater even than the lesser cosmic forces that Yaldabaoth had created. When the cosmic forces realize that the man who was created is greater than they, they cast him into the realm of matter. But the one true God sends his own Thought into man, to instruct him concerning his true divine nature, the manner of his descent into the realm of matter, and the way in which he can reascend.
Other myths have other ways of describing the creation of the material world and the creation of humans. What they share is the notion that the world we live in was not the idea or creation of the One true God, but the result of a cosmic disaster, and that within some humans there resides a spark of the divine that needs to be liberated in order to return to its real home.
The only way this salvation can occur is for the divine spark to learn the secret knowledge that can bring liberation from its entrapment in the world of matter. Knowledge is thus central to these systems, knowledge of who one really is. As Jesus indicates to his brother, Judas Thomas, in one of the Nag Hammadi tractates, "While you accompany me, although you are uncomprehending, you have in fact already come to know, and you will be called the 'one who knows himself.' For he who has not known himself has known nothing, but he who has known himself has at the same time already achieved knowledge about the depth of the all" ( Book of Thomas the Contender 2.138.14-18). 12
This knowledge can come only from revelation. One cannot simply look at the world and figure out how to be saved. This world is evil, and any knowledge acquired within it is simply material knowledge. True knowledge comes from above, by means of a revelation. In Christian Gnostic circles, it is Christ who provides this knowledge. In the words of a Gnostic hymn by a group known as the Naassenes, quoted by the heresiologist Hippolytus,
But Jesus said: "Look, Father, upon this being [i.e., the human] pursued by evils, which on the earth wanders about, far from your breath. It seeks to escape from the bitter chaos and knows not how it shall win through. For its sake send me. Father! Possessing the seals I will descend, all the aeons will I pass through, all secrets will I reveal, the forms of the gods will I disclose, and the hidden things of the holy way, which I have called 'knowledge,' will I impart" ( Refutation 5.10.2). 13
But how can Christ enter into this world of matter and not be tainted by it? That is one of the puzzles the Gnostics had to solve, and different Gnostic thinkers did so in different ways. Some took the line we have already seen in Marcion and others, maintaining that Jesus was not a flesh-and-blood human being, but only appeared to be so. These Gnostics took the words of the apostle Paul quite seriously: Christ came "in the likeness of sinful flesh" (Rom. 8:3). As a phantom sent from the divine realm, he came to convey the gnosis necessary for salvation, and when he was finished doing so, he returned to the Pleroma whence he came.

Castros is located about 115 miles from the border and about 60 miles south of Ensenada. Castro's is in than town of Erindira. This place brings back great Baja Fishing memories; my dad took me here several times when I was just a kid. What I remember about this place is that the fishing is Amazing. Be prepared to catch a large amounts of white and black sea bass, ling cod, yellow tail, red snapper, halibut, thresher shark, sheep head, rock cod, kelp & calico bass, barracuda and more. Castro's can get booked so call at least 2 weeks before. Castro's skipper's names: Fernado, Jorge, Waldo, Oscar, Poncho, Victor and Conrad. You will need special poles here in order to catch the big fish. The poles recommended are short 6 to 8 foot poles with bottom or rock cod rigs set up, which consists of 3 to five hooks spaced about 9 inches apart. Best line is 20 to 25 pound test, however you can go heavier if desired. Be prepared it is not unlikely to reel up 4 fish at one time. The crew at Castros will clean whatever you catch for only a couple of bucks, which is definitely worth it.

UF's Academic Future Bright Despite State's Dull Economy
Published August 20th, 2008
And Dr. Machen wasn't alone, top coach Urban Meyer helped him as he made his address to state, academic and community leaders. The average grade point average of in-coming students is 4.0 --with average SAT scores of 1293.
While the academic picture looks positive, Machen addressed the hardship a slow economy has had on the university.
"We've had to take out $100 million dollars from budgets. We've had to have layoffs, we've had to eliminate some programs and we had to institute enrollment caps and enrollment reductions," said Machen to the crowd that included U.S. Representative Cliff Stearns, Republican from Ocala.
Still UF plans to use nearly $2 million dollars in bonuses to reward it's faculty if only nominally.

With 50% less energy usage than metal halide lights, and just 1/10 of the energy consumption of fluorescent lights - these induction lights are ideal for parking lots or street lighting - with very low maintenance (100,000 hours of lamp life).
Technical specifications:
Working Voltages Can be Specified. Transformer #110 Maximum working voltage 160V/AC Minimum working voltage 90V/AC or Transformer #220 Maximum working voltage 290V/AC Minimum working voltage 170V/AC
Color Rendering: Ra > 80 Power factor: > 98%
Rated power: 300 watts ±10%
Start Up time: <03 Seconds. Hot Re-start after shut down- time: <0.5 Seconds
Lamp life: 60,000 hours to 100,000 hours Working environment: -13°F to 149°F Waterproof class: 1P65
Overall Dimensions: 43 1/2"long by 16 3/4"wide by 6"deep.
Construction: Cast Aluminum alloy case, reflector with a tempered glass lens.
Per: Francis Robinstein of Lawrence Berkeley National Library: Useful Pupil efficiency is calculated for each type of light: HPS = times 0.4 to 0.67 of stated lumens for actual pupil lumens Metal Halide = times 1.49 of stated lumens for actual pupil lumens Fluorescent = times 1.49 of stated lumens for actual pupil lumens
Models giving actual Pupil Lumens are as follows:
300-SDC-44 using 4100°K lamp gives 38,880 pupil lumens
300-SDC-54 using 5000°K lamp gives 47,040 pupil lumens
300-SDC-64 using 6500°K lamp gives 54,000 pupil lumens
About Induction Lighting
We all "know" that yellow HPS light is poor for seeing detail. It's true lumen "pupil value" is actually between 0.4 and 0.67 times the stated lumens output. * HPS wastes energy and is poor light. Induction lighting has a value between 1.62 for 4100°K light to 2.25 for 6500°K light.* Lower Induction wattages can be used to achieve equal & greater "Pupil Lumens" of obsolete HPS and Metal Halide lights. Green savings and visual clarity are achieved when replacing HPS or Metal Halide with Induction Lighting.
Near zero maintenance is an outstanding added value. Did we mention "Instant" re-lighting with Induction Lights?

text: I use a Sig for range and competition shooting. I've noticed many competitors use Glock handguns. So, the other day at the range I picked up a new M17. When I quickly aimed it at a spot, it automatically aimed high. To me, really high. Many other brand handguns don't seem (to me) to have such an extreme high sight line. Obviously the grip angle is quite different compared to the Sigsauer. I assume that's the reason for the high sight line. I'm not locked into a specific brand, but I really feel comfortable with my Sig. If I were to purchase a Glock, does it take sometime getting use to the grip, POA and trigger? I must admit, I have shot the M17 and it was accurate, but it did not feel good in my hand. My concerns are can I transfer my accustomed Sig shooting style in fast competition to the same using a Glock?

Interesting photos and results. Pictures always make these kinds of posts that much better. I can think of much better things than 9" of drywall to stop a bullet, but ballistics tests are always fun anyway.
What length barrel was used for each caliber? I'd be interested to see if a different length barrel changed the results any (ie 3" vs 5")

Venting Feelings in Time of Crisis
In time of trouble and crisis many people need someone who will just listen. Talking about the experience is therapeutic because the burden seems a little lighter and easier to bear.
If you find yourself called upon to listen to a neighbor who just wants to talk, LISTEN. Don't think you have to come up with solutions and answers. Just listen and let the troubled person talk. He needs to air his feelings.
Above all, if your neighbor needs to break down and cry--let him. It has built up in his system and he needs to release his feelings of sadness.
Some people will feel very much alone and afraid; others will ask, "Why me?" They are not really looking for an answer to that question but rather are saying, "How can I endure this?" and "How can I go on?"
After you have listened, offer the reassurance and encouragement from the warmth of friendship.

Of Flowers And Flowery Questions
While out and about this past week looking for a small and reasonably priced table for the back garden I simply could not pass these up 🙂
I could have, of course, done something similar up myself and probably cheaper, but they're a quick Spring fix and I will be using the little cauldrons over and over so still a bit thrifty I'd say and they definitely lifted my spirits! We ended up buying two for us and two for the IL's to give them a bit of colour to start their garden with too. 🙂
We had gone to the HFG farm shop in Blofield (where the flowers are from), which has bits of anything and everything "farm-shoppy" and I love going there, although it is probably about 10 miles from us – I think, I'm not so good at distances, lol. For the first time ever I purchased some goose fat. I think I make rather nice roast potatoes, but word is you've not had a decent roast potato until you've had one done with goose fat. So, I'll give it a go and see if it truly does make all the difference.
And of course, we bought some lovely local veg, some rolls, garlic stuffed olives (my fav) and a few other things. It was nice to have a wander and see the garden centre section gearing up for spring and summer, the outdoor part where they usually set up tents and campers that are for sale was still shut though. We went for a short drive afterwards and then headed back home as it was time to rustle up some lunch for The Beast. Our first proper 'gardeny' and Springy outing of the year, enjoyed, but as is so every year, it served to add somewhat to the frustration that Spring is not yet quite here!
Before I go, can someone tell me what these flowers are? They are small, only about 6 inches high in total, lovely and delicate. Please click on the photos to enlarge. Everyone have a great weekend, sounds as if it will be a nice one!

The little blue flowers are dwarf iris……very pretty little flowers. I will send you a piture of the rose we have in a container, so you can see how big it is. The new pots will be deeper becuase I want the weight them so they cannot 'walk'.
Yes, definitely an iris. It could be a swamp iris too.

By contrast, BA reported a 10% decline in its passenger volume from 3.9m to just over 3.5m, a slight increase on the rate for the financial year to date of 8.9%. However, BA's load factor - the measure of how full its planes are - declined only 0.6% to 76.5% because it has also cut many of its routes and is using smaller planes.
For Ryanair, the load factor rose from 86% to 93% and the proportion booking online from 79% to 92%. Ryanair reports its first-quarter financial results on Tuesday with profits expected to have risen by some 45% to £40m.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Tough call here. Perennial Dallas favorite Peggy Sue BBQ whips up a mighty fine pulled-pork sandwich, and its ribs, brisket and sides are equally tasty, but for straight-up, down-home, Texas-style barbecue with just the right amount of smoke and fall-off-the-bone tenderness, we have to give the edge to Baker's Ribs (this year, anyway). It's no surprise that Baker's emphasizes ribs in its name. Slow-cooked but never dry, not overly greasy and dipped in a peppery but restrained sauce, Baker's ribs melt in your mouth like a meat Fudgesicle and will having you sucking on the bones like...well, you can insert your own double entendre here, but smutty comparisons aside, these things are damn good. Add in an equally smoky side of pinto beans and some lightly creamy coleslaw and you have a meal fit to make a cowboy weep for joy. Our advice though: Take your order to go. A frenzy of meat lust is best enjoyed in private. Besides, we're talking barbecue here, so you're probably gonna need to take a shower after you're done rolling in them bones.
Researchers have discovered that chocolate produces some of the same reactions in the brain as marijuana. The researchers also discovered other similarities between the two but cant remember what they are.
Today Show co-host Matt Lauer
Chocolate has been called a psychoactive food, an obsession and an addiction. Its been referred to as the food of the gods and the food of the devil. The Mayans associated chocolate with fertility, while the Aztecs believed it imparted wisdom and virility. The melting point of chocolate is slightly below human body temperature, the root of its smooth-melting sensuousness. In truth, chocolate isnt really that much different from sex, which is precisely the point.
Chocolate is made from beans culled from the pods of the tropical cacao tree, which are fermented, dried, roasted and ground. The resulting residue, cacao powder, is intensely bitter. And its the substance from which Pam Eudaric Amiri draws her sustenance, if not her life force.
For me this is not about chocolate, she says sitting at a table in Chocolate Secrets, her chocolate, wine and gift shop on Oak Lawn Avenue. To me this is about total indulgence. Happiness. To me this is not a chocolate store. To me this is I want to come in the door and LIE down naked and wallow around and be totally happy.
Though there isnt any evidence of rampant nudity in her spacious shop, situated in a former Persian rug store on Oak Lawn, there is lots of chocolate. Glass cases hold truffles and various chocolates containing walnuts, macadamias and cherries; chocolates flavored with peppermint, orange and butter rum; chocolates with toffee and caramel, some of them created by chocolate manufacturers around the world to Amiris own specifications. A display case on one wall holds chocolate tasting kits and bars from French chocolatier Michel Cluizel. The bars are arranged from lightest to most intensethe most potent being a bar that is 99 percent cocoa with just 1 percent cocoa butter. The darkest chocolates, Amiri insists, pair best with wine. Red wine.
Wine is the reason Amiri ended up in this spacious and towering Oak Lawn location, a chocolate temple really. After opening Chocolate Secrets in the West Village in late 2003 as a chocolate and gift shop with a dramatic water wall, she says she discovered that because of the way her lease was structured, she wasnt allowed to serve wine. When you pair chocolate and wine and it pairs right, it lifts you out of your chair, she says. Its a little poof.
And that poof is what she craved. With the help of one-time Mansion on Turtle Creek sommelier Kent Rice, Amiri is attempting to pair a tight selection of wines with each chocolate she serves. Robust wines, such as Zinfandel, Shiraz, Argentinean Malbec or even Cabernet Sauvignon, link best with the darkest chocolates, while lighter wines, such as Merlot or Pinot Noir, dally best with milk chocolate. Chardonnay or Champagne utterly fail in their couplings as does white chocolate (made strictly from cocoa butter), which muddles wine. Though Amiri adds that Chocolate Secrets hand-dips its chocolate strawberries for plopping into a flute of bubbly, romance smoothing over any rough flavor pairings. You do it all together so that it fuses in your mouth, she says mimicking chocolate plop between her lips. Its an unexpected burst of pleasure.
Born in Saint Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Amiri is an unlikely sweets hawker. Shes a highly competitive lawyer who went on to forge a 20-year career as a corporate litigator before she dropped out to raise her three sons. She says she was addicted to the power rush generated by successful legal brawls. She was addicted to the winning. I was really wired in the wrong direction, she admits. I dictated through labor.
With Chocolate Secrets, she simply swapped addictions, although she says chocolate cravings do not necessarily stem from chocolate. Theyre stoked by the sugar.
You know theres a joke that chocolate is like an aphrodisiac, she says. But what it really does, for women in particular, is it affects the parts of your brain that trigger pleasure and relaxation. So its almost like a happy pill tranquilizer.
Amiri merchandises her happy pill tranquilizers with custom jewelry, hand-crafted gift cards, contemporary art, custom-blended coffees, French language lessons on Wednesdays and live jazz on Saturdays. I didnt open this to sell M&Ms, she says.
Still, she says, you dont need chocolate. You dont need it to breathe. You dont need it to keep your heart pumping. If you feel a chocolate urge, its probably because of some hidden stress fissure in your disposition. You dont need that chocolate. You simply need love.
Then she catches herself and reverses course. We need chocolate. We need wine. We need jewelry. We need romance, she says. I would like to go and bathe in chocolate.
Let the chocolate commerce commence. Mark Stuertz
When it comes to catfish, we're a picky bunch. Sure, anyone can batter up some fish and throw it in a fryer, but not everyone can make it taste good. Thankfully, the boys at Hook, Line & Sinker know exactly what they're doing. Served in the customary basket-and-paper set-up, their catfish is a dish to behold--never too greasy, always perfectly battered and cheap, cheap, cheap. You can get it to go, but it tastes so much better when enjoyed on one of their outdoor tables, where you can admire the kitschy collection of boat engines out front and make hungry drivers on Lemmon Avenue salivate with envy.
Nearly every Dallas Mexican restaurant worth a dip boasts some type of fish taco on its menu, but almost none are as good as Taco Diner's. These upscale taquerias are certainly no hole-in-the-wall treasures, but what they lack in soul they more than make up for in flavor. The fish tacos feature grilled tilapia (soaked in a delicious, tangy citrus marinade) and sliced peppers on thin corn tortillas, with the requisite trimmings on the side. We get our kicks by adding a little white cheese and a spoonful of the spicy green salsa, but hey, it's your fiesta.
Every true Southerner knows the pleasure a quality order of fried pickles can provide. Unfortunately, they're not an easy appetizer to master, and a floppy pickle just ain't no good--no matter how well you batter it. The cut is also important--some prefer spears, others side with slices. We're in the latter camp, as we'd rather take our big pickles in small doses. Thankfully, the fried pickles at Love and War in Texas are done just right--thin slices of tangy perfection, delicious flaky batter with the right amount of spice and a big bowl of "smoky ranch" for dipping. The fact that we actually get to ask the waitress for an order of "Texas Wagonwheels" is just gravy.
The ice cream sandwich is a work of art, perhaps the most perfectly devised dessert ever created. Pokey O's has upped the ante, though, replacing the thin cookie wafer of the traditional sandwich with sizable, freshly baked cookies (available in 14 varieties) and thick scoops of Blue Bell ice cream (they stock 15 flavors). We soil our faces with oatmeal cinnamon raisin walnut cookies and plain ol' vanilla, but honestly, it's hard to go wrong with any combination. They also do catering, or you can take the ingredients to go and build your own creations with a "Pokey Pack." We could make an easy sex joke here, but we're far too busy thinking about ice cream and cookies.

My mother had a great experience with a Glycolic Peel by her dermatologist, so I thought I'd have the procedure done too. Unfortunately, I went to a high end spa in Seattle and not a doctor, so that may have been my mistake.
During the peel, the skin under and around my eyes was burning and itching, enough that I asked the aesthetician to stop, and she did, but too late. The skin around my eye area was totally burned. It was extremely painful and ugly for several days with redness and some blistering. The spa felt awful and did not end up charging me and gave me large samples of Valmont cream, which ended up healing the area I also have a very fair complexion and pretty sensitive skin, which could play a part in this.
If you are considering having a peel done, I would recommend having the procedure done at a dermatologist's office and not at a spa.

Lavonia Main Street Program Recognized
By MJ Kneiser, WLHR Radio, Lavonia
The City of Lavonia is being honored by the State once again for its Main Street Program.
Recently, the Georgia Department of Community Affairs' Office of Downtown Development awarded Lavonia for having the greatest volunteer support among Main Street programs across the state.
Lavonia Downtown Development Authority Executive Director Marie Morse said many of the events put on by the Main Street program in 2013 could not have happened without significant volunteer support.
"There are four different categories including, economic development, organization, promotions, and design," said Lavonia Downtown Development Authority Executive Director Marie Morse. "The Lavonia Main Street program received, in the organization category, the Greatest Volunteer Support award. What this means that every event we had last year, and we did have a lot last year, that we had a volunteer source to turn to."
She said there were a number of events where volunteers showed their support for the town, like last year's Festival of Authors and Halloween Carnival.
"We partnered with the Friends of the Library, and also with the Ferst Foundation and they brought many volunteers to that event," Morse said. "Even with our Halloween Carnival, we had to have a lot of businesses who volunteered their time to hand out candy. And even with the Christmas Festival, the Christmas Tree Lighting, and the Christmas parade, we actually had the Lavonia Garden Club who came to the Christmas Festival to hand out refreshments during the event."
Other areas where volunteers came out to help with Main Street events included the Haunted House and the spring and fall festivals.
Lavonia's Main Street program was started in 1997.

Pavlik batters Espino
Brady Crytzer and Antonio Castro at ringside
WBC/WBO middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik (36-1, 32 KOs) scored a brutal fifth round TKO over WBC #3 Miguel Espino (20-3-1, 9 KOs) on Saturday night at the Beeghly Center in Youngstown, Ohio. Both fighters went right at each other immediately and traded punches non-stop. Espino was deducted a point for a punch after the bell in round one. The war continued through rounds two and three. Pavlik dropped Espino twice in round four and after he sent him to the deck in the fifth, Espino's corner asked referee Steve Smoger to stop the fight. Time was 1:44.
In a wildly entertaining bout Samuel "The Nigerian Nightmare" Peter (33-3, 26 KOs) scored a fourth round TKO over 363lb Gabe "Big G" Brown (18-13-4, 12 KOs) at 2:58. Although Peter dominated the action, Brown's antics won the night as he taunted the former world champion repeatedly. After eating a hard punch, Brown proceeded to stick out his chin and absorb four clean shots only to call for more. After being knocked down in the fourth round, Brown unloaded the classic bolo punch on Peter bringing the crowd to a frenzy. Peter pounced on Brown shortly after and referee Randy Jarvis waved off the contest. Upon leaving the ring Peter returned to the locker room and "Big G" was mobbed at ringside for fan pictures.

Following the Garcia-Herrera bout, referee Jim Villers collapsed at ringside from an apparent heart attack. EMT's on site performed CPR and a defibrillator for the last twenty minutes. The arena was at a stand still as they worked at ringside. Villers regained consciousness and was taken to a local hospital. There was actually a cardiologist spectating that rushed in to aid Villers.
USA Olympian Vanes Martirosyan (26-0, 17 KOs) scored an impressive third round KO over Willie Lee (17-6, 10 KOs) to claim the NABF/NABO super welterweight belts. Martirosyan dropped Lee twice before it was stopped at the 2:13 mark. "I rushed myself during the first round, sort of took off in second and Freddie (Roach) told me to get more busy – to crank it up. That's what I did," said Vanes afterward. Trainer Freddie Roach added, "Vanes is ready for a world title shot. He's 26-0, done his homework, he is ready for the big fight."
In a middleweight contest 2008 Olympic standout Matt Korobov (9-0, 7 KOs) earned his ninth professional victory stopping Ken Dunham (6-12-1) at 1:29 of the third round. After putting Dunham down at the end of the first round, Korobov battered his opponent in the second. Korobov forced Dunham to the canvas early in the third with a barrage of punches and finished the fight with a sweeping left cross.
Although the bout started off slowly, it ended quickly as Miguel Angel Garcia (19-0, 16 KOs) knocked out Yogli Herrera (22-13, 15 KOs) at 2:19 of the third round with a right cross. The men fought at a measured pace for the first two rounds until Garcia dropped Herrera with a perfectly timed counter left hook. After the hurt fighter rose to his feet Garcia closed the show with a right cross that put Herrera down for the ten count.
In 154 lb. action Omar Henry (7-0, 6 KOs) stopped Jessie Davis (9-9) with a brutal overhand right at 2:23 of the opening round. Henry dropped Davis a total of three times, each caused by an overhand right.
Undefeated welterweight Willie Nelson (13-0-1, 8 KOs) survived a first round knockdown to win a six round unanimous decision over Doel Carrasquillo (12-14-1, 10 KOs). Scorecards read 60-54 twice and 59-55.
Lightweight Chris Hazimihalis (1-0, 1 KO) made his professional debut a successful one defeating Norman Allen (0-6-1, 0 KOs) via TKO at 1:06 of round three. Hazimihalis forced his opponent to take a knee at the start of round three with a right cross and, although he was coherent, the downed Allen elected not to continue.
Following six rounds of furious action super lightweights Jake Giuriceo (5-0-1, 2 KOs) and Henri White (4-4-2, 3 KOs) battled to a majority draw. In the highlight of the undercard bouts the two fighters battled valiantly and had the crowd on its feet, however disappointment spread throughout the Beeghley Center as the scores read 58-56 in favor of Giuriceo 57-57 twice resulting in a majority draw.

Following up on this, I found something that seems to help. If I go directly into the menu system on the printer itself (not the menu on your PC) and change the default the border setting from "Borderless" to "Bordered" it gets rid of the line.

For some reason having the default setting in the printer's menu was causing this. I've made half a dozen prints and the line has not come back, before every one of them had it. It's weird but I'm happy it's gone!-- hide signature --
Thank you for this info. As I said above I did not notice the problem before, but since I have seen it I see it every time and it is really not motivating me to use the printer. I will get some IP (the post cards) paper today and try it!

Frequently Asked Questions
Lifetime Product FAQ's
Originally, the term "FAQ" referred to "Frequently Answered Questions" and listed answers that had previously been offered by customer support representatives. Whether they're frequently asked, or frequently answered, we're here to help you with anything you need!

I am unable to fit my bolt through some holes on my basketball system, what should I do?
. . . . . .
The holes in our systems are created a specific size, made with precision, to prevent excess play in those specific areas. We coat our product with a very durable and heavy powder coating that, at times, may be applied too thick around bolt holes. If this has occurred with your basketball system, you may experience difficulty with inserting the bolts through the holes without using some force. If so, begin threading the bolt through the hole, and then lightly tap the bolt into the hole using a rubber mallet or hammer.
What is the warranty period on a Lifetime basketball system?
. . . . . .
Most Lifetime Products Basketball Systems have a 5-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the warranty information page in the instruction manual for detailed information on Lifetime Products Basketball Systems.
Is the Tempered Glass playing surface covered under warranty?
. . . . . .
The warranty does not cover breakage of the tempered glass playing surface.
Where is the model number on the basketball system I need to register?
. . . . . .
You can find your model number on the warning sticker of your basketball system. This is placed on the pole or under the rim. It is also on the front page of your instruction manual and on the product box.
Do I need to use antifreeze in a Lifetime portable base?
. . . . . .
No, Lifetime bases are made out of a polyethylene plastic that will expand with the water when it freezes (you should allow a little room for the water to expand). If you feel antifreeze is necessary in your winter climate, use non-toxic RV antifreeze. Regular antifreeze can be fatal to animals if it should leak out of the base.
What is included in a Combo kit?
. . . . . .
A combo is comprised of a backboard and rim. It can be attached directly to a roof, eave, or wall using an extension bracket. If you do not own a pole, the combo must be mounted to a wall, eave, or roof with a universal mounting bracket. Extension brackets and universal mounting brackets must be purchased separately and are available at most sporting goods stores, the Lifetime Store Online, or through the Lifetime Customer Care department. Combos are generally less expensive than an entire system. They give the ability to upgrade your backboard and rim on most existing Lifetime systems.
What is ASTM?
. . . . . .
ASTM stands for American Society for Testing and Materials. ASTM International provides standards that are accepted and used in research and development, product testing, quality systems, and commercial transactions around the globe. All of Lifetimes basketball systems meet ASTM safety standards. ASTM stands for American Society for Testing and Materials. ASTM International provides standards that are accepted and used in research and development, product testing, quality systems, and commercial transactions around the globe. All of Lifetimes basketball systems meet ASTM safety standards.
What is Shatter-Proof?
. . . . . .
Shatter-Proof is the next generation of break-resistant backboards using polycarbonate.
What is EM5™ Break-Resistant Acrylic?
. . . . . .
EM5 stands for Elastic Modified 5 times. Lifetime adds an elastic modifier to its Acrylic backboards that gives the acrylic an elastic property. Acrylic is a very brittle material. By adding the elastic modifier, Lifetimes acrylic has been tested to be five times more break-resistant then standard acrylic.
Will a Lifetime backboard fade?
. . . . . .
All products left out in the sun for extended periods of time will eventually fade. However, Lifetime backboards have UV inhibitors that help prevent fading and maintain the integrity of the backboard when exposed to sunlight providing years of color.
What are the advantages of welded-steel net hooks?
. . . . . .
Welded-steel net hooks do not require replacement. They avoid the annoyance and danger of dangling net loops.
Where can I purchase a Lifetime basketball system?
. . . . . .
Visit the Where to Buy page for a list of some of the major retailers who carry our products in-store. For local Utah outlet store locations, visit the Lifetime Store, and for online sales visit the Lifetime Store Online.
If I buy an in-ground system, what additional items will I need to purchase for installation?
. . . . . .
Plan on spending additional money on concrete and rebar (actual cost and amount varies according to model). Rebar is a steel rod used in the cementing process of in-ground systems. Wait 72 hours for the cement to dry before you can play. However, if you dont want to permanently cement your system in the ground, another alternative is to purchase a ground sleeve. A ground sleeve is a cylinder cemented into the ground for the pole to sit in. This feature makes it possible to remove your in-ground system. Simply slip the pole into the ground sleeve, and a bolt or a tab will lock it into place. To remove the pole, unlock the bolt or remove the tab and slide it out.
Will a Lifetime pole rust?
. . . . . .
All steel will eventually rust over time. However, you can prevent the effects of rust with proper care. Repair rust spots or scratches by sanding the affected area lightly; using a rust-preventative spray primer; and finally, spraying with a high-gloss spray enamel paint.
What makes a Lifetime steel pole weather-resistant?
. . . . . .
Lifetime uses a powder coating process which coats a bare metal object with an electrostatically charged powder. From there, it is baked on at a high temperature. Powder coating is the most durable coloring process on the market. It is stronger than traditional paints.
Can I turn my portable system into an in-ground system?
. . . . . .
In order to convert your Lifetime portable system, you will need to purchase a new set of in-ground poles. Please contact customer service for parts and service.
Can I turn my in-ground system into a portable system?
. . . . . .
No. Unfortunately, there is no available way to convert in-ground systems into portable systems.
What should I do if my poles have been assembled incorrectly?
. . . . . .
If you find you have assembled the poles incorrectly, please call customer service for more information for replacement poles.
What is BaseGel?
. . . . . .
BaseGel is a product that can be used to stop small leaks in portable basketball system bases. For more information visit www.h2old.com.
The steel backboard brackets are straight, but they need to be bent for assembly. How do I bend the steel brackets?
. . . . . .
Lifetime backboard brackets are made of steel, but they are manufactured in a way that allows the customer to bend them by hand.
I can't tighten my hardware. Is it faulty?
. . . . . .
No, the hardware is not faulty. Lifetime Products uses center lock nuts on its basketball systems. Center lock nuts are distorted in the middle so that the threads are no longer perfectly circular. This greatly increases the locking action of the nut but increases the amount of force required to tighten the nut.
What should I do with my portable basketball system during periods of high winds?
. . . . . .
Do not use system during windy or severe weather. System may tip over. Place system away from overhead power lines and in an area protected from the wind or away from property that may be damaged if the system falls.

Latest update June 28th, 2017 12:55 AM
Mar 05, 2013 News Comments Off on Police beat illegal miners … Geology and Mines Commission joins probe
The Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC) has commenced an investigation into the beating of civilians by police ranks during an operation to curb illegal mining within Marudi, Region Nine.
A release from the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment stated that Minister Robert Persaud has called for an emergency meeting of the Board of Directors for the GGMC in addition to requesting the assistance of the Commissioner of Police in investigating the allegation.
"The Guyana Gold and Diamond Miners Association (GGDMA) has also been requested to provide support to the investigation. The Commission will be working closely with the Ministry of Home Affairs to investigate the confrontation and remains committed to reducing illegal mining as prescribed in the Mining Act and Regulations," the release stated.
It explained that the Commission under operation El Dorado has been engaging in a series of activities in the various mining districts to improve its monitoring, compliance and enforcement and as such, the Guyana Police Force in keeping with standard operating procedure would accompany the GGMC to provide security and enforcement support.
Commissioner of Police Leroy Brumell said on Sunday that he has ordered an immediate investigation into the beating of civilians by some of his ranks and vowed that action would be taken. He had said that the policemen had already been identified and were expected out of the area yesterday.
Brumell was particularly concerned about reports that a child was among those assaulted.
The incident occurred on Saturday when police ranks accompanied officials from the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC) to clear several illegal miners from the Marudi mining district.
A photograph published in the Sunday Kaieteur News showed a police corporal inflicting blows on civilians who were on the trail to protest their removal from the mining area. A woman and her sons were reportedly among those beaten.
An even more graphic video, posted on YouTube, shows the foul-mouthed policemen clubbing and dragging the civilians, while some of their colleagues, and other men in plainclothes, stood with guns at the ready.
Most of the blows were inflicted by a police corporal, who repeatedly shouted "get off the f—ing road" while raining blows on the civilians.
One rank is seen going into the bushes to cut and strip a branch and then using it to whip civilians. It also shows a woman and boy lying on the trail. Civilians who used their bodies to cover the boy were dragged and beaten.
The civilians are part of a group of miners who are protesting what they are calling their unlawful removal from a mining claim that is registered to a Canadian mining concern, Romanex Guyana Explorations Limited.
About 300 local miners have been operating about 22 dredges in the area for the past 10 years when the Canadian firm appeared to have neglected it.
Only last week the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment issued a statement indicating that it was reviewing the licence of Romanex Guyana Explorations Limited, after investigations revealed that the company failed to carry out exploratory works in keeping with its requirements.

by Anti-Racist Parent columnist Margie Perscheid
My first reaction, upon receiving an invitation to contribute to Anti-Racist Parent, was to ask who would want to listen to a middle-aged white woman talk about race. What could I possibly add to this dialog?I grew up in the Cleveland, Ohio suburbs. The neighborhoods I lived in were white. The schools I attended were white, save high school, where the minority population included one – yes, one – biracial young man.
In my world, divisions followed European ethnic lines. Western Europeans were at the top of our white hierarchy, and we Mediterranean Slavic folks were somewhere down the line. I grew up feeling different – I was short and dark, and looked different enough to be asked on more than one occasion if I was "foreign." I remember being asked once in high school if I was Chinese.
I was always interested in people and cultures, and this developed into a desire to study languages. When I entered Georgetown University as a foreign language major in 1967, I came to a city and student body more diverse than any I had ever experienced. I loved it, and I stayed.
In DC, with its extremes of wealth and poverty that follow racial lines, I began to recognize the depth of the inequalities experienced by people of color. But what I didn't get was that many of these inequalities were subtle, and that in many cases I didn't even recognize them.
By the time my husband and I adopted our children, both of whom are Korean, I saw myself as an outspoken opponent of racism, one ready and able to parent children who were racially and ethnically different from me. I proudly described my family as multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, and multi-racial. But I really only understood race in terms of ethnicity, which was my only personal frame of reference.
When our son was in junior high school, he began to talk openly about the racial divide at his school and how he was affected by it. Although it came late, it was the kick in the pants I needed to take a critical look at my perspective. I'm grateful that at around the same time someone gave me a copy of Peggy McIntosh's White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack. My son's experiences and White Privilege were eye-openers.
So now I find myself back where I began. I realize how little I understand about the experience of people of color, also that I can never share that experience. My best contribution to this dialog won't come from what I say, it will come from how well I listen to those who live with racism every day. Acknowledging their experiences and acting accordingly in my workplace, in the schools, and in my community are how I can help close the racial divide.
Here at Anti-Racist Parent I've found an open discussion of race that will bring greater understanding of this issue to all who participate. I'm honored to have been asked to contribute, and look forward to sharing my thoughts and hearing yours.
Margie Perscheid is the adoptive mother of two Korean teens. She is a co-founder of Korean Focus, an organization for families with children from Korea with chapters across the country. Margie is on the Board of Directors of the Korean American Coalition DC Chapter, a former board member of KAAN, the Korean YMCA of Greater Washington (now KAYA), and ASIA (Adoption Service Information Agency). Margie writes about her intercountry adoption experiences at Third Mom. She, her husband Ralf, and their two children live in Alexandria, Virginia.

EastBound&Down wrote:Another fine example was a couple seasons back when the big ducks didn't arrive in numbers until the closing weekend of January season. We saw more ducks the last few days than the entire 3rd split combined. I you listen to the blah blah blah "the migration is over and done by November and NC has all it's ducks by then", why in the world did all those ducks not wait another week unitl they came out of hiding and spare their lives? Must have been a mix up on dates when they wrote down season end on all their calanders.
I do agree that some migration does still occur with weather patterns into february. Birds are going to migrate north and south throughout the winter till they head to where they will breed. But alot of the bird we see that "suddenly appear" are here already by the end of hunting season. I am just saying that january 26 or whenever the duck season ends,the ducks alarm clocks dont go off and they all decide to go to NC. They react to the lack of hunting pressure and start changing their patterns to using areas that they weren't using during hunting season. And that why we see more in alot of places, including no hunting areas like within city limits. Birds during hunting season tend to stay away from people no matter what. Once its over, they become much less afraid of us and more likelly to use the pond next tot he walmart than they were before. Go and scout areas that are holding ducks in late february and you will see they arent nearly as skiddish. When I scout our places into mid March you have to beat the birds out of there sometimes as they circle 5 or 6 times around me, trying to get back in, where they would be gone in a second during the hunting season. The point is I dont think moving the seaosn back a few weeks will do much better or worse. We may catch a few systems that get the birds moving and dumb, but other than that they still will be coming off 6 or so weeks of being hunted and I think we will be seeing the same stuff we see at the end of the season in January. Then once the season would be over, it would turn back to "there are ducks everywhere, why cant we move teh season even further back". That on top of the fact that we would be disrupting courting, which is very important to succesful breeding, it just isnt worth it.

A Dream, an Ideal, lost . . .
I originally purchased and produced this site to promote the law practice of Thomas Cecil "Doc" Miller, esquire, d.b.a. "Doc's Law." Due to his deceit, default and betrayal, it is now dedicated to the events that gave rise to our association and the unfortunate events that have transpired since. I made a major mistake in trusting an attorney, and I confess that mistake to the world. You will see the continuing drama unfold before your very eyes here at www.docslaw.com. Thank you for your kind understanding and compassion. We all get taken advantage of from time to time. I may well hold a record of some sort. . . Steve Gartin.

While BulkRate's intention is to offer cheaper prices when you buy in bulk, because it is priced separately it on occassions show a higher than retail price. That's why we ask you to enter BULKRATE as a coupon code to manually activate the rates. You can always opt not to use the bulk rates. If you are looking for wholesale prices please feel free to contact us.
