But what makes Venom so dangerous is his costume - it's actually a living alien creature! Whenever Venom grabs someone, the costume shoots out energy-draining slime that can overpower even the strongest hero.

I am such a fan of Fairytale Brownies and am always bragging on them to my friends here in MD. Each summer my girlfriends and I have our annual "girls slumber party". We all graduated from high school together (Thomas Stone High School Class of '87!) and this has been an annual event started before we graduated. The number of girls varies from year to year- some live out of state, some have other obligations, etc. We have crabs (that may sound funny to anyone outside of the east coast but it's a southern Maryland tradition!) and everyone brings a side/snack/dessert.
This year I decided I would treat them all to Fairytale Brownies!
As luck would have it I had a couple of Goupons in hand so was able
to get a variety of treats for everyone to enjoy. I ordered Magic
Morsels in bulk- Chocolate Chip and Caramel, and 12 Cream Cheese
The girls LOVED them! They kept sneaking them out of the bag before
I could round up everyone to take a picture…I finally had to yell
at them to stop! I...Read More

Kelly's Stupid Criminals of the week!
This week starring a burglar who broke into a neighbor's house to help himself to any valuables within reach, but apparently got a little tired and decided to get into bed with the homeowners and get some shut-eye.
Authorities said the victim woke up in his home on Highland Street and felt something touch his leg. He got up and saw a man he recognized — asleep at the foot of his bed.
The alleged burglar awoke and fled.

The Keeshond has a moderate prey drive, meaning that if a small animal such as a squirrel or cat runs, then they will chase it. However, the breed is very intelligent and easy going; so if raised with cats from an early age then the breed can do just fine with cats as an adult dog.
Both of my Keeshonds have gotten along very well with our two cats. We did however get them at the same time so they grew up together

You must understand what 'watchdog' means. 'Watchdog' is not the same as 'protection' or 'guard' dog. A watchdog is a dog that will alert the owner/family that there is someone or something on or near the property. While a protection or guard dog will alert as well as use aggression to keep the person or thing at bay away from the family/property. The Keeshond is a great family dog, they are good with strangers and are used as therapy dogs quite often. They do have a very distinct and loud bark, which is why they are a great watchdog. The Keeshond will tell you when something or someone is near, but they are not known to be protective in the way a guard or protection dog would be.
I owned a Keeshond. Love the breed. They are so friendly, will bark at a cat or dog, or stranger. But it is usually because they want to play with them. Our Keeshond alerted us once in the middle of the night that the neighbors garage was on fire. They shed a lot. Other than the constant shedding they are the perfect pet.
We had a Keeshond and he was a wonderful dog. He was very protective of all three of my children when they were babies. He would sleep under their crib and if you didn't belong in the room he would let out a low growl to let you know that you should not come in alone. I had one of my coworkers staying with us for awhile, the dog knew very well. One night he came home very late and the dog let him in the doorway but no further. He also wouldn't let him go back outside. My wife and I had to let him know it was okay for him to be in the house.
My Keeshond was a wonderful dog. He was always very alert and would let you know if someone was at the door or in the yard because he would start a bark alert. The best thing was when door to door salesmen stopped by and would leave by the time you got to the door because they didn't want to bother with a dog. He was always friendly, to strangers and pets. He had a strong desire to chase cats, rabbits, and squirrels. He even caught a few! High energy and always wanted to be around people. When we went on vacation and dropped him off at the kennel, he would bust out and follow the people around. It didn't matter what kind of cage it was, he always got out! Smartest dog I have ever had! They need to be brushed twice a week and require regular exercise.
My Keeshond was my Therapy Dog. I suffer terrible depression and when I was laying down he would lay next to me and put his head on my back. If I was sitting he would put one front leg on each shoulder and lay his head under my neck and let me hug him as much as I wanted. Otherwise he would tolerate a hug only if he knew he would get a cookie. But if I was suffering he never asked for a cookie. He got along fine with my chickens who loved him because he would go and dig in the dirt. He would rather stay indoors than go outdoors unless we were going to the beach or Pet Shop where he had to go up and down the aisles and sniff everything. He was a bit rude tho as he would go up to a person and as soon as they told him what a beautiful boy he was he would turn around and leave. He was not the least bit aggressive . He died in March and I still cry every day. He is in every room and I am constantly thinking he is in his usual pose. I Miss him so much. He was 11 1/2 way to young. My other Keeshond died when he was 15 1/2.
I had my keeshound for 16 years. She was the most loving and well behaved. dog. We lost her to cancer,we have not wanted a dog since. She could never be replaced. She passed 10 years ago.
I wouldnt consider a Keeshond to be a "gaurd" dog of any sort. They are pretty friendly but they will bark at strangers at times. They are however great watch dogs if you ask me. No one would ever get in my house or close enough with out my pup letting me know and she's been doing that for 14 years now! The best thing about them is that even when they are old they still act like a puppy at heart.
I just put my boy down on 3/29/17, this week. At age 11, he'd been diagnosed with anal sac carcinoma metasticized in the lumbar nodes last June. Only given weeks to live, he had 8 happy months with low dose prednisone, essiac tea, and k-9 immunity capsules. My heart is breaking, and I keep looking for him looking for ME. From the moment I got him (a surrendered dog of 10 mos) I was his business. He or his eyes followed me if I moved and he was at my feet or next to me all the time. He let me snuggle him before sleep, then climbed under the bed after I dozed off. He was friendly with everyone in a greeting, playful way, but he always came back to me. He barricaded the door if he saw or heard signs of my leaving. He had a sharp bark that could take your fillings out, but only as an alarm: once the source was discovered he quieted right down. He barked when he wanted to play with other dogs but they didn't always care for the racket. He took to barking at 4 am for several summer mornings and I finally realized that an unwelcome admirer was running his truck outside my home. He was never randomly yappy. He loved to swim but had to be blown dry or could get hot spots.

A hobby breeder is someone who breeds dogs but has a full time or part time job as well. A breeder is someone who solely breeds dogs and that is their only source of income. Back Yard Breeders are the one's you want to steer clear of. They are the ones that just breed dogs because they are cute and sell the puppies for money but do not take care of their dogs.
That is not what a Hobby Breeder is at all. A hobby breeder is "Into" Dogs (shows, training, clubs, etc.). They belong to dog clubs and organizations, proves the quality of their dogs and suitability for breeding by competing for titles and certificates in conformation, obedience, agility, field trialing, etc. Pups' pedigrees are filled with dogs who have obtained show titles/working certificates; never breeds dogs without "papers", knowledgeable in every facet of breed, including that of health issues/defects; researches genetics when choosing mates, knows his puppies' ancestry.
A hobby breeder does not use dog breeding as a business and strives for quality, not quantity. Breeds only dogs which meet breed standard. Breeds only dogs that are over 2 years old, and a limited number of times. Mate choice could be anywhere in the country (almost never breeds his own males to his own females). Does all genetic testing and will provide proof; does not breed animals with genetic defects or which are carriers of defects. Puppies are sold from waiting list created before breeding even takes place, puppies are bred to meet the standard not all go to show homes and (show-quality costs more). That is only a few. Being a hobby breeder has absolutely nothing to do with whether you work full time or part time.
They are people who have a passion for their breed. They show their dogs, they research about their breed. They are life-long students of the breed. They are members of local/ all-breed kennel clubs. They breed to better the breed. Breedings are done with parents who have been health checked and are an excellent representative. Puppies are raised in the home and extensively socialized. Prospective owners are interviewed before they're allowed to purchase a puppy, and sold on contract with guarantees, and will not sell to anyone who wants a dog. Impulse buyers are not accommodated by the serious hobby breeder -- That's one of the reasons that commercial breeders and backyard breeders exist. You won't find puppies from these breeders on the internet puppy sites. You may find they have private websites. sell companion puppies on AKC limited registrations with a spay/neuter contract.
Long time ago I bought a dog that the woman said was purebred poodle. When he grew up he had none of the poodle qualities except for the long nose. I had had three Standard Poodles in my lifetime and was well aware of their hair. This dog had no curls at all and looked more like a terrier. I had bought him for my husband and when he died I did a DNA test on him and it came back as 95% Poodle. I suspect this was a backyard breeder, breeding father to daughter and mother to son and so on. This is why you have to beware backyard breeders. Surprisingly enough he was very healthy.
No. Like all breeds of dogs, some like water while some other's don't. If you want your Keeshond to like water, make water a positive experience when you get your puppy. Although, they have a lot of fur and some of them will put their faces and paws into the water dish to cool off.
My half Keeshond/Australian Shepherd did not like to get wet. He would allow me to bathe him in warm water but really didn't like it. He was a wonderful dog but did have many allergies to common things. Hope to get another Keeshond someday.
My half Keeshond/Chow was fine with water as long as his paws didn't get wet. He would sit outside in the rain and be perfectly fine not wanting to come in. While if there was a puddle he would do everything to not walk through the puddle. If he was forced to walk through the puddle, he would hang his head down and pout.
My Keeshond is a pure breed and she hates the water. Baths definitely arent her favorite.
My Keeshond loved to swim and I had to dry him well or he could get hot spots! Ponds, streams, icy tidal pools, in he'd go. I saw him stick his hard under and come up with a small fish once! I thought it was the barge dog history...

Personally for me, I want to make sure what tests are available for our breed are done. I want to make sure my dogs hips are sound, that any puppies produced come from parents who are OFA fair, good or excellent. I do hips/patellas/cardiac/elbows/thyroid/phpt and CERF these are the 7 tests ou they recommended. All breeders have issues any that tells you they have not I would be leery of, we wish we could test for everything and produce only the soundest puppies. Unfortunately not everything is in our control. Just as humans we are born healthy but could develop DM, or hypothyroidism even cancer even if none in our family lineage has it. But doing the health testing that is available is a good start.
Breeders who want to make sure that their breeding adults are healthy before breeding do the testing. It is a way to assure the healthiest puppies. Keeshonds have several health issues and some of them you can test your dogs before breeding. Testing your dogs and them passing the testing gives you a much greater chance of the puppies not developing the issues. If your dogs do not pass then spay/neuter is recommended so that the health issue is not passed to puppies. It is just a way of being as responsible as you can when breeding your dogs. There is much information at www.offa.org on health testing and the benefits in having health tested parents!
Patellar Luxation is a very good test to talk about. It is fairly common in this breed. It can be graded by a Veterinarian in a simple physical exam when taking your dog in for its annual exam. It cost only $15 to send the results into OFA for the public to view. If your dogs have this issue and you breed them anyway it will most likely be passed to some of your off spring. Why not know the parents are clear of the issue if you are thinking about a new puppy. You cannot test for every health condition but the ones you can I feel it is our responsibility as breeders to do the testing available.
What does one call a breeder that is using under age (less than one year) dogs for breeding and then breeds them every time the dog is in heat?

This my friends, is a "show car".
1 Attachment(s)
We have all heard the term "show car". I have heard it used many times on cars that in my humble opinion were far from "show cars" to me. They were "nice" cars, they may have been put in shows, but they were most certainly not "show cars".
In my opinion a real show car can be shown disassembled. Yep, you could pull the interior out of the car and who it and it will still look good. You can just tell looking at it, even where you can't see looks as good as where you can, you just get that feeling looking at it. It is so finely detailed that you just know if you removed a panel or part it would be just as beautiful behind the part, you know what I mean?
The other "show car" is the cartoon car that is never driven and probably can't be, I know those are real "show cars" too, but I don't count them. Those cars are usually not very well detailed at all, they are more like a movie prop.
No, the real show car to me is a work of art, you can study the "Little dancer, aged 14 years" by Degas. It is so beautiful you can't take your eyes off it. You look and look for a flaw, something to tell you it isn't alive. But you never find it, you just walk away with the impression to stay with you forever.
This Ford F100 is just that car, it is a work of art. I was on the way out of the show and went thru the building it was in. I could care less about these trucks. If one was on fire I wouldn't put it out, saving the extinguisher for something more important. But this truck, this truck stopped me in my tracks and I wasn't even looking at it! All it took was one glance at the tail gate and bed as I walked by. I ended up staring at it for a half hour or so and talking to others who were looking at it. What was cool was one pair of guys knew these trucks well started pointing out the modifications on the truck that went right over my head. Of course it was so nice, the work was so tasteful that even the guys who knew them well didn't see them until after looking for quite some time. There were LOTS of modifications, most very subtle, very tasteful. It rounded out the whole truck.
What I like most about "detail" the art of just "fine tuning" is that it is FREE. Most anyone can do it. You don't need to be a metal master, or a painting master. You don't have to be fast, you don't have to be experienced, you simply need patience. That is all it takes, passion to get the fit better, the edges sharper, the welds ground smooth. All it takes is to prime and block, and surface until it is perfect. Most anyone of us can do this, sure some of it takes some learning, but it is mostly about patience.
The wild part is most bodymen and painters don't possess the patience and passion to do it! I have seen home hobbyists do better detail, more perfect jobs than most pros! They get the job done fast, they are way more efficient at it, but they lack the patience and passion.
This room was full of zillion dollar streetrods. It had many pro-built cars, BIG dollar cars, popular body styles and years, and this friggin 68 Ford pickup knocked me off my feet. You could jump on Criags list right now and get one for a grand, driving it home, a decent old truck. Yet this guy, took it and blew away the zillion dollar customs and streetrods in the room.
I looked and looked, deeper and deeper and finally found some texture in the paint. :D Up under the hood structure the clear wasn't cut flawlessly flat. Other than that, on the edges of the hood, the firewall, the front of the bed and back of the cab, inside the bed, EVERY SQUARE INCH was cut flawlessly with ZERO texture!
I will tell you right now, the guy who built this truck, I will put money on did all the work, body and paint. It was one mans passion, that is what it looks like to me. I can't believe you could find a few guys to do it that would all have the passion needed. It would be like assembling the Beetles or the Eagles to make music. It is lightening striking.
I believe the guy who did it, he is looking for the next car to build. It being finished isn't the destination, the journey is the destination. Once the journey is finished, I will put money on it that he is on to something else.
I am going to try to find the guy who owns it and see if I am right. :D

These are of the bed, it had some panels on the front and sides. I think the front covered a fuel tank and the sides were possibly some sort of compartments that were also covers for the "tubs" being it had pretty large wheels and tires. Check out the reflection in the tail gate of the end of that compartment and the reflection of the tailgate in the compartment.

How about the door gaps? EVERY INCH around these doors fit like that. Check out the mouldings. The guy made his own version of the cheapie aluminum mouldings these trucks had with the painted center section. He took aluminum or something making these thin mouldings one over the other having them chrome plated.
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL.

How's this for seam sealer in a drip rail? It was smoother than most cars body work!
That looks very nice. :) and I agree, it takes an artist conception/vision to complete one of this eye catching quality.
Thank you for sharing it. :D
just beautiful , i can't imagine the work that went into that truck. i know the work that is going into my project and its only going to be a good 20 ' car.
not sidestepping the perfect panels but,.......how do you get that thing together without messing something up?? i realize you use tape to help..but that is beyond help!!
bah its a trailer queen
probly got 5 miles on the motor.
we all could do work like that if it isnt driven.
Beautiful work.
Wouldn't have been my choice of vehicle, but let that take nothing away from the craftsmanship.
I wouldn't build one like that, even if I could. Too much coin and not enough extra shop space.
Besides, I have to drive all mine.

You want to talk about the actual process? The most important step, the ABSOLUTE CAN NOT BE PASSED UP, CAN NOT BE TAKEN LIGHTLY step?
Simple, TRIAL FITTING PARTS! Sounds obvious, but many of us will rush thru portions of the process for one reason or another. First reason, "awe, it fit before" but things change or you may not have been looking at it with a critical enough eye. Second reason trial fitting gets rushed, it is an odd concept but hear me out and think about it for a while.
When we are looking at our car for flaws, we don't WANT to find them! That is the biggest reason that I have found in teaching apprentices in the shop. This concept hit me years ago and it has helped tremendously in teaching. If you are feeling your body work for flaws, it is human nature to NOT want to find any after all the blocking and hard work, right? Well if you DON'T want to find a flaw, you will do just that, not find one! You then prime it and paint it and WHAM, there is that flaw you didn't WANT to find!
You have to WANT to find flaws! You have to be passionate about the WANT to find them. If you are, if you REALLY want to find a flaw as you are feeling body work or trial fitting that panel, you WILL find the flaws and correct them.
You've no doubt seen the famous Henry Ford quote: "Whether you think that you can, or that you can't, you are usually right." BELIEVE IT!
If you THINK you can move a mountain, your brain starts figuring out ways to DO IT. If you think you can't, your brain starts making excuses why you can't.
You have to WANT to find the flaws and you then will and correct them before the parts are painted, and before the parts are bolted on for good.

Johns Hopkins President William R. Brody announced at an October 28 dinner for alumni and benefactors that the Knowledge for the World campaign goal has been raised to $3.2 billion, saying that society faces formidable new challenges and more than ever needs what Hopkins produces: discoveries that make a difference.
In an e-mail announcement sent to the Hopkins community, Brody identified nanobiotechnology as a new opportunity to apply the knowledge developed at Hopkins to benefit humankind. "We live in a new world where we stand to reap almost unthinkably large benefits from the exploration of the almost immeasurably small," he wrote. "Johns Hopkins must be a leader in nanobiotechnology."

Ok, I just happened to peek at the Positano Bag from Interweave Knits' Winter 2008 Mag and am smitten! The old KPG would've rushed right on over to Knit One and purchased suitable materials for the luscious bag - but I just admired from a far instead. *Still on yarn diet. Still needing to finish heaps of projects. Still broke.* Repeat from * to * until urges subside.
Interweave Knits is so not good for my yarn addiction or my KADD. Yet, I cannot, CANNOT, imagine not being able to drool over the awesome patterns featured in every issue. I'm guessing that's why they call it an addiction.
I've got one sick kidlet today who won't let mommy pick up the needles. I'm
I've decided that if I finish 2nd second sock, scarf, princess shawl, and market squares bag, I WILL CO the Positano bag and make it for MYSELF! Oh boy.. it may be awhile. (Kinda like IMDB Production Notes - pre-production) But at least I have something fun to look forward to.

Gerald du Maurier
|Sir Gerald du Maurier
|Gerald Hubert Edward Busson du Maurier
26 March 1873
Hampstead, London, England, UK
|11 April 1934
(aged 61)
Hampstead, London, England, UK
|Years active
Sir Gerald Hubert Edward Busson du Maurier (26 March 1873 – 11 April 1934) was an English actor and manager. He was the son of the writer George du Maurier and brother of Sylvia Llewelyn Davies. In 1902, he married the actress Muriel Beaumont with whom he had three daughters: writers Angela du Maurier (1904–2002) and Daphne du Maurier (1907–1989), and painter Jeanne du Maurier (1911–1996).[2] His popularity lay in his subtle and naturalistic acting: a "delicately realistic style of acting that sought to suggest rather than to state the deeper emotions".[3] His Times obituary said of his career: "His parentage assured him of engagements in the best of company to begin with; but it was his own talent that took advantage of them."
Early life[edit]
Du Maurier was born in Hampstead, London, and attended Heath Mount School[4] and Harrow School. He initially pursued a career in business, but it did not suit him, and he took to the stage. He obtained his first engagement, a small part in Sydney Grundy's An Old Jew, via his father's friend John Hare, manager of the Garrick Theatre.
J.M. Barrie[edit]
After playing a number of small roles pre-1900, including an appearance in his father's popular drama Trilby with Herbert Beerbohm Tree in 1895, his popularity became assured via his acclaimed performance in major roles in the premieres of two J.M. Barrie plays: as Ernest in The Admirable Crichton in 1902, and the dual role of George Darling and Captain Hook (instead of Seymour Hicks, who had turned down the part) in Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up, at the Duke of York's Theatre, London, on 27 December 1904. He also appeared in other Barrie plays, including Dear Brutus.
The Llewelyn Davies boys (du Maurier's nephews, the sons of his sister Sylvia Llewelyn Davies), were the inspiration for Peter Pan and other boy characters in Barrie's fiction. The character of Wendy Darling in Peter Pan shares one of her middle names with du Maurier's daughter Angela, who in later years portrayed Wendy onstage herself.
Wyndham's Theatre[edit]
With Frank Curzon, he co-managed Wyndham's Theatre from 1910 to 1925, and then moved to the St James's Theatre. He served as the president of the Actors' Orphanage. Knighted in 1922 at the peak of his popularity, he continued to perform throughout his life. In later years he took on cinema roles such as Lord Camber's Ladies (1932), a German doctor in I Was a Spy (1933), the emperor's valet in Catherine the Great (1934) and, shortly before his final illness, Wessensee in the Michael Balcon version of Jew Süss (1934).
du Maurier cigarettes[edit]
Du Maurier was a regular cigarette smoker, and the du Maurier brand was named after him as a paid endorsement deal (he did not smoke them himself), which he undertook to help pay back taxes.[5]
Charity work[edit]
He served as President of the Actors' Orphanage Fund (now the Actors' Charitable Trust) from 1914 to his death, when he was succeeded by Noël Coward.
He died in 1934 of colon cancer, at Cannon Hall, Cannon Place, Hampstead, his home since 1916. A blue plaque has been placed at the house in his memory.[6] His daughter Daphne refused to attend his funeral[2] but wrote a biography of him – Gerald: A Portrait – which was published shortly after his death.
Selected filmography[edit]
- Justice (1917)
- Everybody's Business (1917)
- Unmarried (1920)
- Escape (1930)
- Lord Camber's Ladies (1932)
- I Was a Spy (1933)
- The Scotland Yard Mystery (1934)
- The Rise of Catherine the Great (1934)
- Jew Süss (1934)

Obama pays somber respects at 9/11 ground zero
NEW YORK - President Obama laid a wreath Thursday at New York's ground zero to honor the victims of the September 11th terror attacks. The president also visited with firefighters, police officers and family members of those killed in New York on 9/11.
The president, along with former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, first went to the firehouse hit hardest on 9/11. Engine 54 lost 15 men.
"When we say we will never forget, we mean what we say," Obama said.
The president never said "Osama bin Laden," but he praised the Navy Seals he sent to get him.
"They were doing it in part because of the sacrifices that were made in the States. They were doing it in the name of your brothers that were lost," said the president.
Christopher Santora was working out of this firehouse on 9/11, and was killed in the collapse. His parents were invited to join the president.
"He acted as the commander-in-chief and I'm very proud to be an American and he did the right thing," said Alexander Santora.
"Obviously he paid close attention and made a decision that could have cost him seriously had it not worked out," said Maureen Santora.
The president stopped at the NYPD station whose officers were the first to rush to the World Trade Center.
Broker Peter Ortale was one of 3,000 who died that day. His sister came up from Philadelphia.
"It brings up everything, all the images, all the pictures, the reliving for my family because we never really had any closure," said Mary Malitas.
Now she says she does have closure.

At ground zero, President Obama paid tribute to the nearly 3,000 dead. This whole week is a powerful flashback.
"I'm just so happy. I'm kind of emotional right now. When I heard they got bin Laden, I was in tears," said Al Smith, New York bus driver.
Few focused on details of the raid or the death photo. Osama bin Laden is dead and for many in New York a chapter has been closed.

Iconic Phone Booth Hosts Pop-Up Art Exhibits [Pics]
The Gallery On The Green is a tiny public art gallery located inside one of the UK's famed red phone boxes.
Gallery On The Green is a public art gallery located inside a red phone box in Settle, North Yorkshire in the UK. The tiny gallery is open 24/7 and boasts that it is "filled to capacity at least twice a day!".
The phone box was purchased by Settle Town Council in early 2009 under the BT 'Adopt a Kiosk' scheme. The phone was removed and a community art gallery was set up inside.
The bright red box features an illuminated panel with the word 'Gallery' that attracts visitors to the artworks. Since opening, over twenty exhibitions have been hosted inside.
Creative Review reports that last month, photographer Fleur Olby showcased 'Green on White', a series of flower photographs on white backgrounds selected from her book Fleur: Plant Portraits, shown in postcard format. On the small floor of the gallery, Olby planted white hyacinths in a cushion of moss.
The gallery is currently showing food writer and photographer Joan Ransley's work, which captures the essence of Yorkshire food and artisan food producers with images gathered from across the region. Click through to see images of the Gallery On The Green:

A 10-ton meteor that streaked over the Russian city of Chelyabinsk injured more than 900 people when it sent a shock blast through the area. Most of the injuries are not thought to be serious, but an estimated 270 buildings had windows blown out. There's also reports that 6000 square feet of a factory building roof completely collapsed. It's unclear whether or not anyone was hit by actual fragments of the meteor, but officials believe the meteor ended up landing in a nearby reservoir. Amateur videos (like the one below) have been uploaded to YouTube showing the trail of the meteor, followed by a massive sonic boom. Scientists say that the meteor is unrelated to the asteroid 2012 DA14 that is scheduled to make the closest pass by Earth ever recorded later today … Discuss

ISTANBUL__Day one of our two week adventure started out like any normal day. Alarm goes off, I rolled my way out of bed muttering to myself how it is way to early for this, but then I remember, through the jet lag and exhaustion, I am in Turkey. I immediately perk right up, throw on some clothes and can not wait to start my day. I do not want to waste a single moment, and on day one I did not.
My roommate Kristen Audette and I head to the student union for breakfast at the Istanbul Technical University-Maslack Campus, the school hosting us. Breakfast starts off interesting because we only know the word for tea which is cay, so we end up pointing to different pastries hoping for the best. I end up with something baked with some sort of ground beef but no worries it is delicious. I will most likely get it again tomorrow. After downing copious amounts of coffee at we meet the rest of the group and start to walk in the rain to the metro station to head to the main ITU campus close to Taksim Square.
The metro station is extremely clean and murals made of tile and paintings cover the walls as you walk deep underground. Finally we arrive at Gezi Park and head to ITU's architecture campus where we meet the students and faculty who will be working with us over the next two weeks. They were extremely welcoming and after we walk up four flights of stunning marble chairs we enter our classroom for the next three and a half hours. We sit at a conference table and drink tea while learning about the history of Istanbul and all about ITU.
We eat lunch in the cafeteria then we head out to explore the city. We head to Taksim Square. As we enter the square the sun is shining as we look up on the giant monument known as the Monument of the Republic. We walk down Istiklal street and everywhere you look there are stores and cafes. The first five minutes walking with my eyes just wandering everywhere trying to take everything in. The street was filled with tourists but it was really one of the first times we got to interact with so many different people.
When we got to the end of street we headed to the Galata Tower, built in 1453 and used for many different purposes throughout the years. Once on the of top the tower, that stands at 219.5 feet, we could see the whole city, and it was there we all started to get our bearings. We could see across the Bosphorus to the Asia side, across the golden horn where we could see the palace, the Hagia Sophia, and the Blue Mosque. The views were absolutely stunning and you could see for miles.
The day wrapped up after that and we dispersed doing different things on our own. It was here, without Professor Celik, we really got to emerge ourselves into Istanbul. Communication was key. The girls went to cafe and we got drinks and pointed to things on the menu talking to the waiter trying to learn how to say the different drinks and food. Our waiter was extremely nice and kept correcting us by telling us how to say different words and laughed with us all we all butchered what we were actually trying to order.
The day wrapped up and as we unwounded in our group meeting we debriefed on what we had learned throughout the day and it turned out we learned so much. Besides the crash course in history we learned just how important communication is. A language barrier is tough but everyone we encountered was more than willing to help us. We also talked about sustainability, the endurance of systems and cities, and we discovered just how sustainable Istanbul is. A city that was founded around 660 BC has sustained itself to be one of the largest cities in the world, having a population of around 14 million. It was a great first day and tomorrow we will embark on a journey down the Bosphorus and enter the world of the Spice Bazaar were we can really test out how well all of us are learning turkish.

It's been used for centuries by the San bushmen, who use the Hoodia on long hunting trips to stave-off hunger.

User Feedback(Page 2 of 3, 43 total comments)
I just got through using this. The juice is wonderful but I was so hungry during the whole thing. I did manage to make it through but by the time I was done my head was pounding. I think the headache was because I refrained from caffeine like directed and I am used to drinking several cups of coffee in the morning. I only lost 4 pounds. Don't know if I will try it again or not.
The first day I was a little hungry, but made it through. The second day I was not hungry at all, and the next day, when I was allowed to eat again, I was not hungry either!!! I lost 7 lb and loved it.
I just start this morning!
I'm buying it tomorrow.
Im just trying it out for my first day today and I surly would like to loose 10 pounds or more for my upcoming trip. I will inform you all and let you know about the Hoodia Cordonii juice.
I am skeptical about the not eating for 48 hours. Unless I am sick I have never been able to go that long without solid food. And what if I do eat sumthing, will i get sick? I'm nervous please someone reassure me...
The juice tastes great, especially the peach mango blend...i haven't felt hungry but im still on my first day.
Is it a good juice or is it nasty? Cause I dont want to be throwing up and stuff
Was not that hungry did have some cravings the first day but made it through just on the juice and water. Lost 6 pounds so far in one day will let you know how it goes tomorrow. Very happy!
On the first day I lost 3 lbs and the second day i lost 2 lbs. i do not like this juice fast.
I've done this diet before and lost 6 lbs. I started doing it again today. I love it. I noticed on of the cons was that someone didn't loose anything, and stated that they added extra exercise that they never do normally. The diet states on the site to not exercise at all during the two days while your doing this. I'm thinking this girl exercised and gained extra muscle. Reason for not seeing the weight loss on the scale.
I tried this diet and was unsure what the results would be. I mean come on, possible 10 pounds in 2 days. Well, before the end of the second day I lost 10 lbs and on the next day I weighed in and had lost a total of 12 pounds. I jokingly said to a co worker I was going to get up early in the morning and get a breakfast sandwich from Mickey D's. But honestly I wasn't hungry. Its been a week and because I broke my "hunger habit" I have continued to lose another 2 pounds. Im set to do it again this week. Im happy!
I am fixing to try this for the first time very excited will be back with the results bought two bottles so later 20lbs
i love it. i lost 5 pounds the first day so far....i will be back 2moro to comment on how much i will have lost today. i strongly recommend for every1 to see for themselves rather than taking someone else's word for it. Because it says on the bottle that the results may vary. So as long as you don't eat & follow the directions it will work to some degree
the diet promises that you will feel energized...which is false but you do lose weight...if u dont cheat
works good
Works for me every time. The version with Hoodia + the Hollywood Fat Metabolizers really curb my appetite. I wake up feeling a sense of clarity and so much slimmer....
I got less than one glass down. I sipped for about an hour and then out of nowhere threw it up. I want to try again but I'm sure I'll just vomit again.
Pros: Was never hungry-even when I was around food.
Cons: Doesn't work! Didn't lose 1 lb and I even added extra excercise that I normally don't do. and I never cheated. This was not worth $20. Drained my energy-tired for 2 days.
No fun-i dont recommend this.
Absolute torture. Not sure about the curbing appetite but does work and great results. Lost 7 pounds before my cruise!

When inspiration strikes for Frankenmuth Brewery brewmaster Jeff Coon, family is often near, and such was this case when he created a new lager style beer for the brewery. "This is a beer I made with my daughter back in January. We made this beer for her birthday," Coon said of the brewery's brand new Michigan beer.
Dubbed the Twisted Hellas, it was Coon's daughter who influenced her father on the direction of Frankenmuth's latest Michigan beer. "It was my daughter's idea to add the lemon and orange zest. It gives it a very subtle citrus taste on the backend of the beer," Brewmaster Coon said when describing the lager style beer. The name Twisted Hellas plays on the fact that traditional German hellas wouldn't use these extra ingredients. "It wouldn't exactly be kosher with German brewing laws," Coon adds.
Combining the traditional German lager style beer and the taste of a summer shandy, the Twisted Hellas is the perfect brew for a hot summer day. "It's basically a German shandy," Frankenmuth Brewery Wholesale Marketing Coordinator Charles Osberger says. "It's not the usual 50/50 split of beer and lemonade. In fact, there is no lemonade in it at all." Instead of mixing the Michigan beer with lemonade, like a typical shandy, the beer follows closely in line with German tradition, but Coon lets the natural orange and lemon flavors do some of the talking on the back end.
With only ten barrels of this lager style beer made to last all summer, the supply is short and should be sold out quickly. Available both in a glass at the brewery or in a growler for take home purposes, the Twisted Hellas is perfect for hot weather and pairing with seafood and chicken. "It would go great with a nice light salad with a light vinaigrette, maybe with chicken or salmon on it." In fact, Coon also divulged that the brewery is in the midst of planning a seafood boil based around the beer.
Whether you are looking to do you own seafood boil or just want to drink in the perfect summer time beer, the new lager style beer from Frankenmuth Brewery named the Twisted Hellas will be sure to excite your tastebuds. Come visit Frankenmuth Brewery today and pick up this limited Michigan beer while supplies last.

New Delhi, Apr 18 (UNI) The ongoing programme of early Childhood Education by National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) will now be expanded to five regional institutes of Education(RIEs).
These institutes are Ajmer, Bhopal, Bhubaneswar, Mysore and Shillong.
The initiative is among the several taken by the NCERT to improve the quality of school education.
It has also decided to reorient over 30,000 teachers about how to use school text books, through teleconferencing and Edusat.
They will also have face-to-face interaction in RIEs.
The Department of Teacher Education and Extension(DTEE) had undertaken a series of measures aiming at reformulating the pre-service programmes of RIEs. On recommendation of a committee appointed by the NCERT, the two-year B.Ed programme will be replaced by one year programme followed by a long duration internship.
Some of the other repforms introduced in Teacher Education Curriculum include integration of theory and practice, content and pedagogy and integration of information, communication and technology into school education.

Joel's and my other Stow ancestors' part in this moving story took place mainly between Virginia and Alabama, with stops along the way. By studying common migration patterns, I was able to narrow their possible locations and focus my record searches. Tracing your own family's paths back into American history can prove crucial to identifying previous generations and, eventually, figuring out where and how they arrived on US shores. Knowing the network of trails American pioneers traveled can help you guess where to start looking. These research tips and trail overviews will help you understand routes that brought Americans westward, so you can begin to trace your family back eastward — and back in time.
