All employees are reminded that they are not now, nor have they ever been, allowed to consume chardonnay during work hours.
To: Accounting Employees of Basement Level 3
From: The Management
Date: 6/11/2013
Re: The coffee machine
The running of a successful business depends on all team members adhering to stated guidelines. And, as has been discussed at length, said guidelines forbid employees of the subterranean floors from using the coffee machines reserved for upper-level employees. The management is aware of and appreciates the fact that the basement coffee is watery and tastes of hot dogs, and while this is regrettable, remedying the situation has at this time not been classified as a priority.
The management understands that this lack of drinkable coffee, coupled with the dearth of natural lighting, has lead to some of the employees drinking wine during the workday. The management would like take this opportunity to remind all basement employees that such behavior is NOT acceptable. The management would also like to point out that it is fully aware of the basement employees' attempts to surreptitiously put wine in the coffee machine. The chardonnay's vanilla cream, fresh pineapple, and perfumed citrus blossom aromas have mixed with the hot dog smell, and you're not fooling anyone.
Due to this behavior, all basement employees have henceforth had their elevator and bathroom privileges revoked. Any basement employee found using the elevator or bathroom will be summarily terminated. This also goes for any employee trying to sneak any more chardonnay into the coffee machine.
Warm Regards,
The Management

1985 Toyota project truck
'85 Yota Standard cab/short bed
22r (w/ slight knock) – currently sitting in truck
22re (ran when pulled) – sitting on engine stand waiting to go in
G-52 trans w/ fwd shift case (single twin sticked) - currently installed in truck
W-56 trans w/marlin doubler waiting to be installed
spare topshift case
Sittin on 35" MTRs w/half tread and aluminum rims
Comes with a set of steel wheels holding bald 33" tires (my storage set)
rear axle: locker w/ V6 3rd in the rear and disk brakes
front axle: longfield super shafts and birfs, rebuilt w/ IFS hubs, vented brakes and V6 Calipers
Hi-Steer with FROR Brace and Power IFS box
waggy springs in the front and 63" chevies out back
rancho 9000's on all corners
rear rollover protection
Optima Redtop
front hitch for winch (no winch included)
rear custom bumper with integrated hitch
SR5 Guages
Full doors and Half doors in body color, plus extra set of full doors
Acura seats
2 spare radiators
2 complete first-gen FI systems including harnesses and computers, even the under-dash harnesses
1 partial second-gen FI system – I think this needs injectors and some other parts
boxes and boxes of misc spare parts
Following is all BRAND NEW NEVER INSTALLED:
Marlin crawler ceramic clutch
New flywheel
Marlin crawler twinstick setup for rear tcase
Brand new master/slave cyls for clutch
Bud lite crossmember for dual cases
Pair of HD tcase mounts
I bought this truck last year from the guy who built it. I wheeled it until the clutch went out and I started the engine/trans/doubler swap over the winter. I changed jobs and haven't got the time to put it back together right now. I'm going to take a loss on this truck, but I'd rather see someone get it and finish it than have it sit in my garage for another year or two until I have time. It was a kick-ass wheeler and will be even better with FI and a doubler.
Right now everything is pulled off the engine in preparation for pulling the block and dropping the 22re in there. The truck does not run right now because there is no power or fuel going to the engine. It did run, but it's worth swapping the engine since the old one has wrist pin rattle and the clutch is shot anyway.
I've got more than $6,000 invested, but I'll sell for $3000. I might be open to trades for a running OBS Ford F-150 or F-250, a stock-ish extended cab Yota, or a police interceptor.
More pics: http://s157.photobucket.com/albums/t...1v/1985Toyota/
I'm only interested in showing the truck to serious buyers. I don't really need to sell this right now, but I can't imagine having the time to put it back together in the next year so I'll sell it if I can get some of my money back. The truck was built by Karl and worked very well until the clutch went out at the Mounds last year. With FI and dual cases, this truck will go pretty much anywhere you want.

Nope. I'm selling everything or nothing. I either want everything Toyota I own to be gone, or I want to keep it and finish it when I get the time. It doesn't do me any good to sell the little stuff separate.

However, paper quality was great, colors were vibrant, print well done. In person, looked exactly like image show on screen. Would order through this company again."
"The invite lets you put in your own wording, do formatting, and lets you know if it will fit or not. This is very cool feature. The ability to use the picture in invite also adds a special touch. Great design and quality!!!"
"The customer service was wonderful, extremely helpful. I was able to add text to an already standard card. The quality of the card was perfect. The shipping was faster than expected, I received them 3 days ahead of schedule. The recipients thought the cards were beautiful and I will certainly use Tiny Prints for all future printing."
"I thought the quality of the paper and the printing were very good. Since there were no response cards, I used the business simple response cards and they were able to make the printing the same blue as the invites at no extra charge."

Star Search
While the matrimonial antics of thick celebrities may be fun to read about if there's a dearth of painfully embarrassing anecdotes in your own life, most of the time they're just a source of humor. But rather than bemoaning the day that Britney Spears was issued her first marriage license (or how soon she'll get her second), Shane Arts' Comedy Killers embrace the amusing annoyance and channel it into a new artistic avenue with Celebrity Newly-Deads, an interactive murder mystery that takes pot shots at pop culture while you enjoy a tasty meal.
Celebrity Newly-Deads--performed in true glamorous celebrity style aboard a boat cruise on Lake Ray Hubbard--revolves around the third marriage of pop star Brittany Simpson to recording franchise tycoon Richard Ratzi. Hilarity and homicide ensue when the guests, including Pappa Ratzi, Miss Cindy Rellah and Justin Timetofallintothelake, are confined to a small space and forced to converse with one another. And while the influence of celebrities can be dangerous, this show is suitable for audiences of all ages. And it's a great cautionary tale for some impressionable youths. So come out to the Texas Queen Riverboat and enjoy this world premiere comedy on the lake. It's like The Star, only with more death and mystery.

5 Things You Need To Know In The South Right Now
Every Monday we bring you the SL Hot List, a round up of the five latest and greatest things to hit the South. Consider it your weekly update on our region's most buzzworthy food, culture, and style news.
1. Hotel Domestique and Restaurant 17 opening. The pristine 13-room resort sits atop the Blue Ridge Mountains, overlooking rolling vineyards in South Carolina's idyllic countryside. And though set up for pure relaxation, the stunning location in Travelers Rest is no coincidence if you know the hotel's co-founder, George Hincapie. The well-maintained roads of rural South Carolina offer the perfect setting for this 17-time Tour de France competitor's tranquil escape where getting outdoors is just as easy as getting a meal from a renowned chef. The on-site Restaurant 17, is set to open November 17, with Executive Chef Adam Cooke manning the helm. His former post at the Barn at Blackberry Farm is often credited for launching the farm-to-table movement and bringing the emphasis back to homegrown goods.
2. Nashville's Tennessee TapRoom opening. Nashville is getting sudsy. Sip the latest in the brewing trend (this is the fourth craft brewery in the neighborhood) at Tennessee Brew Works, a craft brewery and taproom located in a repurposed printing warehouse in downtown SoBro. The 25-barrel brew system is currently churning out five headliner beers, with plans for some seasonal and specialty brews with time. Try the Sweet Potato Stout, made with baked sweet potatoes mashed into the grains, or the Tennessee Farmhouse Ale, brewed with Thai basil for a beer with a bit of spice.
3. Enjoy Arts & Tastes in St. Petersburg. Launching November 15-17, the Enjoy Arts & Tastes festival melds the art and culinary scenes for a three-day binge of St. Pete culture. This inaugural event will showcase live cooking demonstrations from some famous culinary faces like Donatella Arpaia and Curtis Stone, as well as put a face to some of the region's chefs that are making a name with their signature dishes. The event kicks off on Friday with a Sense Immersion Dinner, hosted by restaurateur Todd English, and comes to a close on Sunday, once no one can button their Bermuda shorts, with "Battle of the 'Burg," a poolside event to crown the area's best burger. The next great annual food festival? You tell us.
4. Kellie Pickler's latest album, The Woman I Am. Get closer to the country darling with her new album released this week. With some of the same spunk that has defined her career, Kellie sticks to her twangy country roots for some party picks like "Little Bit Gypsy" but intersperses the 12-song disk with more emotional and personal lyrics like the album's first single "Someone Somewhere Tonight."
5. The Prayer Journal by Flannery O'Connor. Savannah, Georgia's beloved literary hero, Flannery O'Connor, is still marveling wordsmiths nearly 50 years after her passing with the upcoming release of works found within a Sterling notebook in Flannery's archives, previously seen only by her biographer, William Sessions. The journal entries, published under the title, A Prayer Journal, are her musings, prayers, and meditations, written during her coming-of-age as both a woman and writer at the Iowa Writers' Workshop.

I was attempting, somewhat unsuccessfully, to organize my studio the other day and my wife peeked in to comment, "What a mess." It is not often she will set foot in my studio (but then it's not really big enough for two people at one time). I replied, "Tell me about it! But wait until I have this thing whipped into shape." It didn't really happen—at least not yet—but I was inspired by the prospect of a fresh start. I got down into the corners where odd bags of mystery materials lay waiting to be discovered. I broke many old seconds that had become thirds and fourths over time. It continues to be hard work, but it is gratifying to see it come together as the very beginnings of an organized space.
I must admit, there is another organizing project that I'm absolutely giddy about. We have been hinting around our new redesign for some time, and next month we are letting it loose! I've told you about several ideas we've had percolating around our offices for a while, and we're all really excited to show you what we've been working on.
First, this is a bit different from a redesign, meaning it goes beyond graphical updates. We are, in effect, relaunching Ceramics Monthly. Yes, it will have a new look, including a new logo (what better way to signal a change?), but it will also have a renewed focus on the studio, and several new items of content to address that focus.
One area that we are particularly excited about is called Clay Culture, which is designed to address not only the culture of clay in which we all live to some extent, but also those elements of culture that affect clay—which is to say any part of any culture that connects with clay in some way that is pertinent to studio ceramics. For example, we might map ceramic centers that sprung up because of local clay deposits and report on what their status is today. We may go looking for ceramics in public art and tie our findings to a mobile application or a web-based geolocator. Certainly we'll bring in high-tech ceramics from time to time, as well as low-tech.
We'll be exploring and sharing at least one glaze in every issue, discussing not only the glaze itself, including recipes, variations, and application tips, but how the glaze came to be and what makes it do what it does. We'll range from low-fire aventurine glazes to oil spots to lava glaze to more traditional and historical celadon, tenmoku, and shino. If there is a type of glaze you've always wanted to understand, let us know and we'll find the right expert to delve into it.
What is currently known as Suggestions will be expanded and enlarged to become Tips and Tools. It will remain practical studio tips from you, the readers, but its expansion allows for more images and more comprehensive how-to explanations for inventive processes and tools. So send us your best tips and tools (and don't forget the pictures). If we publish them, you'll get a free one-year subscription to CM.
The Upfront section is going to become Exposure, and will include current exhibitions only, with more images and links to see more—a sort of visual monthly snapshot of exhibitions to visit either in person or online. The reviews that are currently presented with Upfront will now be in their own section called (you guessed it) Reviews.
Some of our adjustments are based on the strength and maturation of the Internet and our endeavors there. We already have digital editions available to subscribers (if you haven't checked it out, just go to the Ceramics Monthly home page and click "view this issue online"). Even five years ago, we could not have considered moving our listings online, but today that is where they are more useful and accessible by far than they ever were in print. The Calendar section, for example, will be online only, where it will be much easier to search and sort by keyword, location, artist name, venue name, etc.—far more handy, and much more robust.
Of course, many of the things you've come to expect and value will remain largely as they are. Call for Entries will stay in print as a one-page department (a nice tight package). We probably wouldn't be able to touch Studio Visit without receiving a lot of letters we would rather not receive, so that will continue as it is. Likewise, we are keeping (and even expanding) Techno File, which has become a valuable studio reference. Same goes for our Monthly Methods sidebars with features, so they will be more instructive and applicable in the classroom and studio.
Another exciting department that will come straight from the artist's studio is Spotlight (which will replace Comment on the back page), where we will ask a potter or sculptor probing questions (and perhaps a softball here and there) about a body of work, a way of working, an aesthetic proclivity, or a particular creative experience and discuss it from the perspective of the maker. After all, that is who this magazine is for; makers.
As soon as this issue goes to press, our Writing and Photographic Guidelines will be updated to reflect all of these new content areas, and I encourage you to go check them out at www.ceramicsmonthly.org (just click on "Submit Content"). Then send us your ideas, thoughts, and feedback. And, of course, when your March issue arrives, take a look and tell us what you think, what you like, what you don't like. Then get in your studio and make something—and tell us about that, too! – Sherman Hall, editor.

Marty Turco got the start in net for the Bruins on Tuesday against the Penguins, and with the regular season winding down, it might be the last Boston sees of him in net.
Turco isn't eligible for postseason play and the B's will likely want to make sure Tim Thomas and Anton Khodobin are tuned up for the playoffs over the final two games of the year.
However, Turco's time with the team has certainly made an impact on the fans. That's why NESN Nation's Dan Duquette went to our Twitter followers for what they'll remember most about Turco's time in Beantown. (Hint: everybody loves his pads.)

What is worth considering, though, is a distribution deal one fine day we will need hundreds of thousands (one hopes) of actual boxes for the stores and for that we will need someone who knows what theyre doing, because its certainly not our thing. So cutting a deal with someone who will put the game out in their boxes and take a cut of the profits, leaving us with creative freedom, is quite a sensible option.
Weve already had a whole bunch of meetings with such potential partners. Weve also heard, of course, from publishers, though mostly just the ones who showed the greatest interest even before our campaign. The offers were a mixed bag and it can be said that the smaller the publisher, the more sensible the offer. It seems the big publishers have yet to grasp the concept that unless they offer serious money and accept a significant share of the risk, nobody actually needs them for anything anymore.
A funny thing happened, where a big publisher described the massive costs they intended investing in marketing, on account of which we would have to give them half our profits. Then a big, prestigious marketing agency told us they would do exactly the same thing for half the cost if we dealt directly with them. What would you do in a situation like that? A deal like that might be OK for someone who doesn't have a dime and really needs someone to pay their marketing costs. But if you do have the cash for that…?
It seems that the smaller publishers are much more sensible. I get the feeling they have a much better idea about the way the world is moving.Ive been telling everyone from the very start of the company that it would probably be best for us to put the game out ourselves (if we had the cash for it, of course). Following all the meetings, the rest of our GDC delegation also came to a similar conclusion, including our investors representative. We can easily put out the digital version of the game for PC and console and share with smaller distributors, who have been much more forthcoming than the big guys, on the boxed game. In the past you needed a publisher as a go-between for a whole range of services that developers didn't have access to, but today the only thing they have going for them is money, and if they don't want to spread it round or you don't need it, then they're basically good for nothing.

Fifth-wave feminist Barbie welcomes us to Toy Fair
7 responses to "Fifth-wave feminist Barbie welcomes us to Toy Fair"
Barbie already has everything, did she have to take my gay man too?
G.I. Joe is gonna be pissed.
Is it me, or did Ken join Team America?
America, F*ck Yeah!
Hey Ken:
She's just not that into you.
and here I thought it said fifth BASE Barbie…
Apparently that's no longer Ken's decision. Have you seen under his kit, lately? She's got his junk in a box somewhere.
I can't express how disgusted I am with this!
Can you imaging the f*cking outcry if the roles were reversed on this ad?
I'm so fed up of (insert your identifier of choice here)ism being a one-way street.
But what do I know – I'm made of stick, snails and, apparently, puppy dogs tails…

I just wanted to offer some respect and remember the guy who created a lifestyle of products which I use everyday. Not only for pleasure but to make my work look good and inspires me to do it better. A man who I think now must be talking to Socrates, Picasso, Dalí, Ghandi, Lennon, etc. He was and will be pure inspiration to us. He made us look cool, and love our gadgets.
Thank you Steve Jobs, now you were uploaded to the cloud…
Keep it up Lung , This is a hard-work designer community, so when you put the hours on this, you´ll see the results, both the financial and personal rewards. Many great people around here.
Congrats K, you are putting some nice eyecandy stuff in your porftolio
Malchev said
to Graphic-Studio… No they don't. Lets say you sell lemonade or ice cream during summer, and you want something printed on your stand along with your name. Do you really need a logo for 500$? No you don't. You need something like it for 30$. So what if someone else have the same symbol. After all the summer is only 3-4 months and then you are closing the business. Some of you may not believe it, but there are millions of business like that. And they DON 'T need a real logo in the way most people understand it. They need just a SYMBOL , representing their product. It just so happens they call it logo. A matter of semantics.
I agree on this one!, and I think this is the main reason for this category, This is called "themed logos", which are almost the same as a logo BUT the use and purpose of creating it is: Events, promos, themed advertising campaigns, etc.
The thing is: we will have logos and "themed logos" (or whatever you may call them) in a same bag, same price, and that´s where some items are going to be underpriced because they´re not the same obviously. It´s going to be unfair to some author to bring some cool, original and creative stuff in this category and be leveled to another "disposable" logo.
It would be really cool to reconsider this category and to have this two separate kind of "logos" and give each one a different price, but I know it can be very tricky for the envato staff to deal with that in every reviewing process. It´s a very subjective issue.
Anyway, Best of luck for those authors who bring really creative, well presented and quality designed items. I´m confident those always stand-up and get the big sales! .

So its that time again to shine up your rides or finish up those projects and get them out for this year's Crosshaul Cruise! This is the 7th year for this event and hopefully we'll continue the trend of making it a larger turn out year after year! Last year we had over 250 cars on the cruise. As usual we're meeting up at the Volkswagen Credit Center and rolling out from there. I'm changing up the route a little and I will explain that later. Please be courteous to their property and please no burnouts and don't leave garbage behind. This hasn't really been a problem in the past but I feel its necessary to say. VW Credit DOES NOT have public bathrooms, and will not allow people inside to use them. This was feedback I received from years past, so with that being said bring yourself with an empty bladder and your car with a full tank of gas.
So I'm going to try switching things up a little, more driving, less stopping. I'm hoping this makes it more fun to drive. We are going to cruise down 26 as usual, then we're hopping onto Highway 53 to Highway 101, and then up to Seaside. We're going to try it without a midpoint stop unless I see an out cry for there to be one. Highway 53 is a little bumpy at first, but its an incredible road to drive. Please remember that overly aggressive driving and general douchebaggery is frowned upon. Please try to keep yourself and your friends in check and try to not ruin anyone else's good time. Passing someone on the shoulder of the road or blasting someone with gravel doesn't win you any cool guy points.
On to the itinerary:
Meeting point: Volkswagen Credit Center
Address: 22823 NW Bennett St Hillsboro, Oregon 97124
Time: 10:00am
Driver's meeting: 11:45am
Time of Departure: Approximately 12:00pm
Endpoint: Seaside, Oregon

Maybe never before has it been more evident that you have to take advantage of the opportunity when it presents itself, than it was this past week.
With the Polar Vortex dropping temperatures to minus-12 on Monday and Tuesday, northeast Ohio lakes, ponds and reservoirs locked up with a good solid six inches of fishable ice. But, if you didn't get out Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, you may have missed your opportunity.
Mother Nature only dangled a carrot in front of ice fishermen, as rain and 50-degree temperatures Saturday made ice fishing a dicey situation.
Over the years, I've learned to strike while the iron is hot, or in this case, when the ice is 3 inches thick or better. In this part of the country, we only get so many chances to ice fish, and I still find it exhilarating walking out on the ice and fishing through a 6-inch hole. Call me crazy, but I love the challenge, be it fighting the elements, finding the fish, or just getting them to bite.
Thursday, I warmed up with a trip to East Reservoir in Akron, part of Portage Lakes. After stopping in at Portage Lakes Bait and Tackle for some waxworms, I took owner Ron Slater's suggestion and walked 30 feet off his dock, and hit a hole that he says often produces some nice crappie and bluegills.
I never found the slabs, or the big gills, but I did manage some up-and-down action of dink bluegills, which was good enough for me. I was ice fishing, something that few anglers got a chance to do last winter.
Besides, I knew the meat fishing was coming the next day as Don Hartshorn of Creston had invited me to ice fish a northern Wayne County pond on Friday where he guaranteed some good fishing.
Hartshorn and a friend had already started stockpiling bluegills on the ice by the time I showed up Friday, and after introductions, he noted that the fishing was spotty. Truer words have never been spoken, but there were times when the fishing was good as the gills seemed to be roaming around the pond, and if you caught them just right, they came in bunches.
And the best part was that nearly every fish pulled through the ice was a keeper. I've never seen so many plump 9-inch bluegills in my life.
Of course, it took me awhile to get on the board. I'm not the most patient ice fisherman and I prescribe to the drill a hole, fish it for 5 minutes, then move theory.
I know a lot of fishermen talk about color, bait and presentation, but I feel that if the fish are hungry, they'll hit a waxworm on just about any hook. Finding the depth the fish are at, and putting a plump waxworm in front of their face will do the trick.
So, while Hartshorn pretty much stayed with a core group of holes in the middle of the pond, I went exploring, fishing everything from steep banks, to holes right off of downed trees, to shallow. I drilled and drilled, and only had a sore shoulder to show for it.
Finally, I found a hole that produced, but almost by accident. I had left a pole unattended at a hole and was fishing another spot 75 feet away when I noticed a fish pulling my unattended pole down through the ice. Luckily, the holder kept me from losing the pole, and the fish, and I was able to get on the board -- albeit by accident.
I pulled five more 9-inch bluegills out of the hole in a short period of time, the kind of fish ice fishermen on lakes like Portage and Pleasant Hill would die for.
Not everyone gets the opportunity to fish a honey hole like that pond, but like I said in the opening paragraph, don't pass up the opportunity when you get the chance to.
In the meantime, there are plenty of public waters to practice on. We've still got a good base of ice, and with the weather predicted to turn colder later on in the week, we may be back to safe conditions -- and some good eating.

"I've got to do a better job of maybe limiting or controlling what we give him," Pease said on Tuesday. "He's mature enough. He'll handle things.
"Understand, I think we have a pretty good kicker and we have a good defense. We need to play off of those at times and handle that."
Pease put most of the blame on himself Tuesday for not putting players in the best position to succeed in the red zone. He shouldered the blame for going for the fourth down situation, saying that right after he called the play, he recognized it might not have been the best call since Miami would stack the middle of the defensive line.
Regardless of what Pease could've improved, Driskel still made mistakes on his own. The junior quarterback threw his first interception into triple coverage near the end zone. Trey Burton took the blame for the second interception because he ran the wrong route, but Driskel's decision making throughout the game against Miami left plenty to be desired.
The improved confidence for Driskel could be a negative thing. Pease said his comfort in the offense could've contributed to him trying to do too much.
"He is a lot more confident in knowing things this year," Pease said. "Some of the decisions, our red-zone decisions the other day, were not good — including some of mine. He'll get better from it. You didn't want it to happen."
The Gators spent the week before Miami preparing for different looks in the red zone. Teams can play different coverages near the end zone, trying to confuse the quarterback and give them something they weren't prepared for. That also went into some of Driskel's decisions, making throws that were covered against a different coverage. Pease said they went through different looks the Miami defense could provide and the looks Driskel would have in that situation. If all else fails, throw it away.
The bad decisions in the red zone stole the highlights, but Pease was happy with how Driskel played outside of the Miami 20-yard line.
"I don't think anybody deserves all the blame," Pease said. "We look back on it as an offense, and there's calls that I didn't put him in a good situation. I've got to do a better job of controlling that and helping him out.
"I'll tell you this about Jeff Driskel: the kid has a lot of heart and passion. He loves the University of Florida. He understands when he makes a mistake, but he's a competitor. He's never going to just give up. You've got to appreciate him at some point in time on that.

Can you tell me what the Ten Net Commandments are?
Here's a fun one for you!
Okay, I admit it! No one really asked today's question, but I saw this on our message board the other day and I just had to include it in today's newsletter. It may seem like a little joke to you, but all the information you're going to get today is something we all really should pay attention to. So, what am I going on and on about? Well, posted on our message board by "doldgeek" was a thread called "The Ten Net Commandments." They are just ten Internet "laws" we all should abide by on a regular basis. Let's see what they are, shall we?!
1.) Thou shalt not buy merchandise found in pop up ads or spam.
2.) Thou shalt not post thy e-mail address, phone number, address or social security number on the Internet, nor shalt thou post anyone else's.
3.) Thou shalt not forget to update thy Windows every second Tuesday.
4.) Thou shalt not connect to the Internet without installing an antivirus, nor shalt thou begin a scan without checking for updates.
5.) Thou shalt not connect to the Internet without installing a firewall.
6.) Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's credit card number, nor his bank routing number, nor his social security number.
7.) Thou shalt not enter thy credit card number without seeing the tiny padlock icon on thy status bar.
8.) Thou shalt not reply to the e-mail from the Nigerian banker.
9.) Thou shalt not forward chain letters to thy friends and family.
10.) Thou shalt not use "password" as thy password, nor thy birthday, nor thy childrens' names.
Aren't those great?! I mean, they all make a lot of sense and if you think about it, they are some general rules we can all follow when it comes to keeping ourselves and our computers safe. Also, in case you were wondering, this list was put together by Mr. Mike Healan, who works for Spywareinfo. I just thought this was something all of you who do not use our message board on a regular basis would like to see. I hope you enjoyed it!
Now, go on and make sure you're staying on track with the Ten Net Commandments!

Should You Pay Higher Taxes If You Don't Have Kids?
An idea to have couples without kids pay higher taxes is causing a lot of people to raise their eyebrows. But the people that do your taxes aren't fazed at all.
The idea came up in an article on Slate.com, but as Houston CPA Joe Mastriano says, it's already happening.
"There are child care credits and earned income credit for low income people with kids," Mastriano said. "If you have a child you get extra deductions. So parents are already paying lower taxes."
Some couples hold off on having kids until they can better afford it, but Mastriano says that doesn't make a lot of sense.
"I wanted to delay having kids until I was more financially stable. My wife says that was crazy. You can't let the IRS dictate how you live your life," Mastriano explained.
And, as it turns out, couples with children are already getting a break. But Mastriano says it's not that much of a break.
"You'll pay lower taxes, but you'll have higher expenses. It's not cheap to have kids," Mastriano joked.
According to the Tax Policy center, parents are already getting $171 billion dollars worth of tax breaks.

Tranny switch AT-MT....worth it?
I have a TH-350 auto now on a '67 chevy II, I was thinking about switching it out with a 4-speed man. somthing like a M22 rock crusher. is there alot of modifying to be done to the car?
It can be a pain in the butt, but 4 speeds are more fun. I did a auto to manual conversion a year ago on my 66 Merc Comet and lets say I would never do it again. The way I did this conversion was I looked for the same type of car that had a 3 speed on column and got all of the parts I needed, 4 speed parts cars in boneyards are almost nonexistant. If you do it you will need the foot pedal assembly, the equalizer bar, and adjusting rods, maybe the bellhousing the yokes off of the driveshaft and the transmisson crossmember. Don't worry about buying the clutch, pressure plate,trans mount or flywheel as they are usually worn out. The driveshaft will probably have to be either lenghtened or shortened. The speedometer cable might need to be changed too. You will have to cut a hole in your floor pan for the shifter, get a shifter hump from like Sherman and Assosciates, it makes cutting the hole for the shifter easier to do. You will also need to remove the auto shifter handle if it is on the column. It took me about 5 hours to change everything over after I had the trans bolted on to the motor, and I had to make a trans mount so it might take you less time maybe more.
62-67 Chevy II's have a special block unlike other V8 Chevrolet blocks. If your block is a original Chevy II block...... not a real problem for the changeover, Just find a donor Chevy II with petals and take everything.... and I mean everything. The Z bar, all clutch linkage, throwout arm, bellhousing ect.
Someone makes a conversion kit to put the clutch pivot ball on non V8 Chevy II blocks. I have seen them...just do not remember where.
[ January 19, 2003: Message edited by: Deuce Roadster ]</p>
Im pretty sure its not the original block. It looks like I'll have work to do. I reckon it'll be a while before I actually do it....but it'll give me some time to find a good tranny.
Thanks for the input

There are numerous dishonest attorneys out there which will certainly try to obtain you to pay a backup fee, and even get you to mortgage your home.
Go over clearly with the attorney what his/her function will certainly be in your instance.

If relevant to your instance, you may need to pay them for phone expenses, taking a trip prices, as well as prices to make copies. Take this right into factor to consider when making a financial plan.
When it concerns deciding on an attorney, consistently trust your reactions. Do you feel like he's attempting to sell you something? Does he feel like he lacks capability? Does she appear nervous? If you feel awkward thinking what the legal representative claims, so will a judge or court, so carry on.
Never ever simply arbitrarily choose an attorney out of a phonebook or directory to deal with your situation. Given that you do not recognize anything about an attorney using this technique, you could possibly end up with a person who mishandles or inexperienced. You can ask enjoyed ones if they know of an attorney which could assist or take a look at on the internet reviews.

Often times a lawful assistant has the capacity to successfully stand for a client. Be taught further on our affiliated web page - Click here: company website. This common arrangement could considerably minimize the complete price of your legal depiction.
If you are obtaining a separation, and the specifics do not entail kid guardianship or complicated details, think about settling from court. If the divorce is simple and also absolutely nothing is being objected to, a from court arrangement can be drawn up by a lawyer. The agreement just has to be completed by a court without legal depiction by either event called for.
Looking into the reviews of the legal representatives you would like to employ, are any sort of called a "bulldog?" If there is any such reference, it is likely that same attitude includes their clients. You do not intend to need to handle such a specific, so search for someone considered to be a clever debater rather.
If you do not have the money to spend for an attorney, do not give up. It is feasible to find a characteristic, for the public good lawyer to work with. As around or study online to find some choices. If all else fails, speak to the court house in your location as well as view just what they advise.
You do not require lots of cash permanently lawyers that appreciate your interests. Apply the guidance in this piece and also you will easily get a skilled lawyer you can afford. You will be given thanks to by your budget for the time you've taken to study this..

I have used both Frontline and Advantage on him for fleas. I don't notice the fleas as much but he constantly has the urge to scratch. So badly that he has rubbed raw, bleeding spots on his back. He will scratch on anything he can. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is it safe to give him benadryl pills and if so what type of dose?? My poor baby is miserable and so is the family.

Lynn senior discusses Congo conflict, personal experiences at Nazareth College
Published Apr. 16, 2009
Lynn University senior and Congo native Bernard Londoni spent April 13-15 in Rochester, New York, visiting classrooms and giving a public address about the ongoing conflict in his homeland, the Democratic Republic of Congo. The former SGA president at Lynn was invited by the Amnesty International and History clubs at Nazareth College to speak about the war ongoing in his homeland. In addition to a public address on Monday, he made formal presentations and took questions in four classes at Nazareth.
"It was an honor to be invited to speak to the students at Nazareth," Londoni said. He says he wants students to see that the events occurring in the Congo and the rest of the world have meaning and repercussions for everyone. "I am telling them that young people have to be agents of change and urging them to stand for the women of the Congo who are suffering and to hold leaders in Washington D.C. accountable for not taking action."
This wasn't the first time he has spoken about the conflict or his experiences. Londoni, who came to Lynn in 2005 from a refugee camp in Burundi, was invited by the United Nations to discuss his experiences on a panel in October of last year in the nation's capital. Londoni, who served as student body president at Lynn during his junior year, was in D.C. at the time completing an internship at the Woodrow Wilson Center for International Scholars, where he worked with policymakers in the Africa Program.
Londoni returns to Lynn on Thursday, April 16, to finish out the last three weeks of his senior year. He'll graduate on May 9 with his classmates. In the coming weeks he'll be deciding on his next destination: graduate school. He plans to pursue his masters in conflict resolution with an "aim to work toward peace in the world and in my native country," Londoni said.

ufc need a strong uk card, not had one for ages. The talent pool is that deep there isnt any excuse with filling it with lots of the same english, some of them fighting to avooid the cut. I would rather see some new uk blood on it if it has to have uk fighters or get some of the guys known to the uk scene like gunnar nelson and mcgregor. Get some mma legends on it too
Last edited by Nimmy; 18-06-2013 at 09:40 PM.
Does anyone know if it is a numbered card of just a fuel tv card?
It would be great to have a numbered card again. We need a few fights that are between top 10 fighters a few guys looking to break into the top 10, some experienced legends and a couple of new blooded fighters.
Cant see McGregor being on it as no doubt they will stick him on the next Irish card.
Would love to see Dan Hardy back here but not sure whats happening with his health etc.
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth!
Give Hathaway a top 10 worthy fight!
its the same date as the Mrs 30th. Would love to go, havent been to one in a while, just somehow think she'd kill me, quite literally.

Any prog fans around here?
I know I can't be the only one, couple people have repped me for Dream Theater related profile stuff. So I know you're out there!
Re: Any prog fans around here?
Yeah ive seen a good bit of prog stuff here in the last album thread and elsewhere, Dream Theater arent my bag at all though, Id more lean toward older 70s prog/krautrock stuff, of modern stuff I love every Mars Volta album(except for Octohedron). Sometimes a man just needs to wig-out.
Few of my faves
Re: Any prog fans around here?
I'm a huge fan of prog death metal. Opeth rules the world.
Re: Any prog fans around here?
There is a Japanese based band called Ruins who are sort of like Magma except that they are a drum/base duo.Lots of insane noise and crazy vocals.
Tzomborgha is one of their albums to check out
Also Hawkwind and a lot of Frank Zappas work is prog based and as Hanoi Cheyenne said their is tons of great Krautrock stuff out there like Neu and Ash Ra Tempel.
Re: Any prog fans around here?
Big fan of Prog Metal and Prog Rock for sure. Love it.
Re: Any prog fans around here?
Re: Any prog fans around here?
I eat prog for breakfast. With skim milk.
Re: Any prog fans around here?
Prog archives is an awesome site for finding new/old/obscure stuff
the sub-genres section make it easy to narrow down to stuff you like, im currently digging through the italian prog section, defo one of my favourite music sites on the net, if only metal-archives could make their site as user friendly.
Re: Any prog fans around here?
Instrumental masturbatory drawn out to absurd lengths impending:
^ The prog-punk band
Re: Any prog fans around here?
In the metal side of things, Dream Theater sucks since Kevin Moore left the band. Also don't get much of the Prog Appeal in Opeth
But stop with that and reckon the best prog-metal band ever in Voivod.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Never been to a Eggtoberfest, Eggfest or BGE Cooking Academy. Not sure which one to attend, if I want to learn to smoke/BBQ better on the BGE. What opportunities are there to learn at Eggtober fest? Are there many demonstrations or classes, that a person could learn from?
And about the BGE Cooking Academy. Anybody been there and what did you think?
I'm asking because it's a six day drive (return trip) for me. I'd like to have a good idea of what I could learn, before I invest this much effort.
Thanks for any help you could offer.
People say that Television is bad for you. It's that bloody Fridge, that's killing me.
Eggtoberfest is not to be missed. There will be 300 cooks as well as various demonstrations. You will have opportunity to talk to a lot of eggheads. Come hungry and plan to be there all day.
The Cooking Academy is great and it is a great way to learn different techniques.
If I lived a long ways away I would attend Eggtoberfest as my 1st choice...
Come to the meet n greet also at Eggtoberfest. ...

Probably not, since it is a national version of 10646, and not of Unicode.
It is, at any rate: Xinxi jishu -- Tongyong duobawei bianma zifuji (UCS), i.e.
"Information technology -- Universal multiple-octet coded character set (UCS)"

I am 42 and have 8 children. Two of them were born by c-section. I have struggled with weight my entire life. I would love to be 30 pounds lighter than I am right now, but that would make me the same weight as my 16 year old. I'm not sure that's realistic! LOL.
I am 5' 3" and have recently lost 11 lb using Weight Watchers. I weighed 167 this morning. I had upper abdominal liposuction on February 15th, as the surgeon felt I'd get a better result that way. I have developed a seroma on my upper abdomen, which he says he will drain during the surgery. I am also having my inner thighs liposuctioned.
