Trading Our Personal Content On A Social Media-Based Stock Exchange
PSFK talks to Empire Avenue's CEO Duleepa Wijayawardhana for insights on the intersection of gaming and social media.
One can only expect the intersection of gaming and social media to become further entwined. Empire Avenue is a stock exchange platform where you can literally buy and sell shares in your ever-expanding network and be rewarded for your strategic thinking and tactful maneuvers.
PSFK talked with their CEO Duleepa Wijayawardhana to talk about the commodification of one's network and the gaming mechanics driving their platform.
How did the idea for Empire Avenue come about? What motivations/challenges inspired its creation?
As with all good things, the concept for Empire Avenue (EA) came from a conversation. This one was between the three founders – Niall Brown, Dr. Michael Mannion and me. We were talking about the idea that, increasingly, our economic production is based on the creation of content online. In essence our economy was moving online – not just as shops and services, but our personal online presences were being monetized.
Karl Marx says everything we create has value and is a tradable commodity and we thought, "Why not trade on the content we produce?" and so we created the game of EA. What we initially thought is that maybe you could use this value somehow for your own benefit, and what we discovered was that people were using the game of EA and these values to actually connect and find people (what an amazing thing). We had inadvertently given people the ability to network across many networks and countries, openly, deeper than a "follow" or a "like" but less intrusive than a "friend."
Who is the platform for? How is your community organized?
The platform is for anyone online. Ultimately it is about networking online and having fun in online platforms like Twitter, Facebook and so on. So in essence, any of the 500 million Facebook profiles will probably be right at home on EA! The difference, of course, is that you don't need to know someone intimately to connect with them. Play the game and eventually you will meet some amazing people that you can then connect with on EA or on any of the other networks! Our community is amazing; we don't organize it, but we interact as much as possible. We truly value the community's feedback. It is their actions and thoughts that have shaped the EA of today.
What's the most interesting response you've gotten to your project?
The best part has been watching my own personal friends connect with people from around the world. Just yesterday I was on EA chatting and found two people who had invested in each other and then discovered that they had grown up in the same city. This, to me, is the best most interesting response. We created a platform, but people have used it in their own amazing way and created something unbelievable.
What trends will EA continue to leverage? (i.e 'gamification of social media' and 'virtual/social currency')
All of the above! We see games in real life all the time. This game helps you be more "better" at being online. We see EA evolving and being available on many platforms; we see social online currency playing a role in offline activities. We're working on the details of how this will work, but we have cool new ideas and are constantly thinking of ways that we can make EA better and, indeed, make our activities online better.
What trends in your industry make you optimistic about the future.
I love that people are embracing two concepts that make EA possible. We have a generation that is now networking online and is accepting of creating valuable relationships online. We also have a generation that is seeing the value of gaming. Not just shooting things up, but that games can truly help us and make us better in what we do. It's going to be a fun ride!
Thanks Duleepa!

Happy Record Store Day! Itunes, CD's, Spotify, Tidal, Cassette tapes, and Vinyl are all apart of the ways we consume music in today's generation. With all these platforms out, one thing connecting them has remained constant throughout the time of its creation, Record Stores. Record stores have been around since the late 19th century, and since then they have continued to be a hub for all things music. From Country to Gospel, Record Stores got it all. No matter what year it is, Vinyl still hold a level of value that can't be defeated. A lot of people assume that artist don't put their music on Vinyl anymore; however, I'm pretty sure your favorite artist has released their project on a Vinyl as well. In my opinion, real music lovers should always hold physical copies of the albums they truly adore. Record Store day was created to pay homage to all the independently own records stores around the world. Since 2007, this day has served as a center of unity for artist, musicians, shops, and music enthusiast. With the headquaters being in the United States, since its creation, Record Store Day has spread as far as the UK. Stores create contest, special releases, and music events that promotes the holiday as a whole.
Check out their link below as well as some record stores located in Atlanta:
Criminal Records 1154-A Euclid Ave NE Atlanta, GA 30307, United States of America
MOODS MUSIC/LITTLE 5 SOUL 1131 Euclid Ave Atlanta, GA 30316, United States of America
WUXTRY 2096 N. Decatur Rd. Decatur, GA 30030, United States of America
DECATUR CD 356 W. Ponce de Leon Ave. Decatur, GA 30030, United States of America
MOJO VINYL 26 Webb St. #2 Roswell, GA 30075, United States of America
If you haven't heard, Atlanta is the Hollywood of the South. Atlanta has become a hub for all things entertainment, but more importantly, the music that derives from the city creates a musical fortress for the South. Festivals play a huge part in establishing a permanent foothold in the music industry. Atlanta has over 50 music festivals a year and being that everybody enjoys an excellent concert, it can be a great tactic for some artist to gain exposure.
Producers looking for an opportunity and exposure should get involved with That Tight Thirty Two On Thurzdayz contest. The event benefits both producers and emcees. Producers must submit three wav files for review. The staff selects which producer has the best three tracks. If selected the producer is invited to attend the session and watch multiple emcees spit over their production. The producers can exchange contact info and build a relationship with the talented emcees for future collaborations. Put some definition to your sound!
There is nothing like attending a music festival lined up with numerous acts you have always wanted to watch in action. Yes indeed the fall season is upon us and if you frequent the Atlanta area you have some great events filling up your calendar during the month of October. Allow me to put you on to a few great ones worth attending.
This week I took the time to talk with the man behind the world famous Mic Club, DRES Tha BEATnik. A powerhouse of all things hip-hop, DRES and I discuss exactly how Mic Club goes down and how to prove yourself on stage. Keep reading to find out what DRES has to say about survival as a freestyler and how to step up to the plate and be the best.
The winner of the producer portion for That Tight Thirty Two On Thurzdayz for the month of August goes to Chase The Money hailing from St.Louis, Missouri. Similar to the emcee registration, Chase entered the contest going against some heavy hitters. Every month the judges look for production that make it fairly easy for true emcees to feel comfortable unleashing 32 bars inside the Sonically Superior establishment known as Patchwerk Recording Studios. Check out our interview with Chase The Money and connect with him for your next project!
The reason the city of Atlanta continues to thrive in the realm of music involves the extensive networking happening daily. Patchwerk Recording Studios knows a thing or two about the process. If you actually have a plan with realistic goals, you can make quite a path for yourself. This was part of the idea for creating the IdOMUSIC® Weekend which was recently completed in Flint, Michigan last month June 24th-June 26th.

Re: Ashtray wont open.
Ok, this guy's post is the answer to the problem..... I know this is an old thread, but no one has really solved anything here but this guy. I was about to post the same thing he did. Yes, the design of the very very very very little plastic pin that follows the slot is the problem. It is so fragile a slight breeze will snap it off! I have owned two Cadillac's in my life. The first was a 97 Concours and now a 2006 STS. I repaired the one in the Concours way back when and then when I bought this newer STS I couldn't believe that it had the same problem and it was EIGHT years newer! They are probably still using the same design today!! Anyway, what I did (on both cars) is drilled a small hole into the plastic right where the little pin broke off. I drilled it clear through the plastic on one side and into the plastic on the other side (about 1 1/2 inches. I'm going by memory from 3 years ago). Then I found a long metal pin the same size and pushed it into the drilled hole all the way through so it is supported in two places about 1 1/2 inches apart. Then I superglued it in place. The metal pin needs to stick out far enough to follow the slot like the little plastic one did. This has worked great (for both cars) and I have had no fear of it ever breaking again. Getting it replaced with the original will just invite the same problem to happen again. If you are uncomfortable doing this repair, find someone who BUILDS radio control air planes and have them help you. This kind of work is a piece of cake to them... Good Luck!

how will these machines perfrom?
I have a opurtunity to purchase 1 of many different machines.
Singer 188U or a 2OU33
Juki DLD-5430, DLD-432, MO3900
Would you recomend any of these for interior projects?
The first two Juki machines are needle feed machines for sewing apparel, and the last one is an overlock machine, which is a specialty machine which would not work at all for sewing car interiors.
The Singer 188 is also a needle feed machine for garment work, and the 20U33 is a zig zag machine.
None of these machines are what you need for car interior work. You should look for an industrial, single needle, lockstitch, compound feed, walking foot machine preferably with reverse.
I didn't get a description of what each one was,they are on an auction fot about 50 bucks each right now. Thanks again! I guess I'll keep looking.
juki DDL-5550-6
here is another, will this do the job? its hard finding info on a machine. the web pulls up items for sale.
the Juki DDl-5550-6
That, too, is a needle feed machine meant for garment use. All of the machines you listed must be from the same garment factory.
yes all from the same auction...oh well
Thanks for your time!

2010 certainly wasn't a year of variety for music....that's not to say that this is a bad thing, but it isn't really a good thing either. So with that in mind I've decided to post what I believe are the top 10 most overplayed songs of the year. Allow me to first explain what I mean by overplayed. Overplayed (in this post) will refer to a song that has been played to the point where it takes away from the quality of the song itself, where you begin to dislike it do to its over-popularity. This list is based on my own opinions and is not based on any specific statistics, just me....
10. Dynamite-Taio Cruz-For some reason this song gets so much radio play, I mean its not a "bad" song, it's just I'm still not sure what this song is really about.
9. I Like It (feat. Pitbull)-Enrique Iglesias-This song was actually pretty refreshing the first time around. It brought two of Latin-America's more popular artists in for an instant club banger. Unfortunately the energy it brought had to wear down eventually.
8. Imma Be-Black Eyed Peas-The Black Eyed Peas always seem to bring an interesting blend of genres in their music. This one however just seemed to maintain its popularity just for the fact that they are the Black Eyed Peas and there is no way any other group could have pulled it off.
7. Bottoms Up (feat. Nicki Minaj)-Trey Songz-There's nothing the kids love more than two of the hottest artists in the scene rapping about what I guess is cool nowadays...getting fucked up. I found this song kind of catchy the first few times, but that was short lived when Nicki Minaj's voice started to disturb me.
6. Hey, Soul Sister-Train-Again this song was very refreshing, brought something different to radio stations. But it became "too popular" (if there is such thing). Not only was it on nearly every radio station, it was all over TV commercials, and was even the top iTunes song sold for 2010.
4. Break Your Heart (feat. Ludacris)-Taio Cruz-Another great club banger by Taio Cruz. This song dominated almost every song request list there is and was the top of the charts for a good while. Again not to take any credit away from this song, but it was one of those songs that you couldn't escape even if you tried.
3. California Gurls (feat. Snoop Dogg)-Katy Perry-There is nothing funner than hot 26 year old Katy Perry's duet with 40 year old Snoop Dogg's on "Bikinis and Zucchinis". Again not a bad song, but just an overall shallow song for middle school dances
2. Love The Way You Lie (feat. Rihanna)-Eminem-This will be the first time I voice my personal opinion on the "new" Eminem. I'm not sure how many readers have listened to the "old" Eminem, but he was very notorious for his attacks on "pop stars" such as Brittney Spears, Christina Aguilera, etc. So now he does this collaboration with the biggest "pop star" of today....Rihanna...About 8 years ago, I never would have imagined he would do such a thing. So this song apparently then becomes Eminem's biggest song in his career. So now its easy to see that everyone likes the "new" Eminem better than the "old" one. I won't say that I dislike the "new" Em, but I'll mention this much; the "old" Em had several times more songs than this "new" one.
1. OMG (feat. Will. I. Am)- Usher-Lets look back early in the 2010...some of the top songs included, Tik Tok, Bedrock, Bad Romance, and at that point, those were songs that released late in 2009. So people were anxious for something big to hit the airwaves. Usher's released his new CD (Raymond vs. Raymond) late of March 2010....but there was one song no one could get enough of. OMG was not only the top of American charts, it was an international phenomenon, It was top of the charts in UK, New Zealand, Australia, and Ireland. The song seemed to be a near perfect blend of dance, pop, hip hop, R&B. It was on nearly every station, it was literally everywhere (I am not kidding, this song would literally be playing on three different stations at the same time on several occasions). At this point the song seems to have faded away, however it is hard to find a song that reached this amount of popularity.
Some Underplayed Songs...
Raise Your Glass-Pink
Grenade-Bruno Mars
Please Don't Go-Mike Posner

So I bought some NeverWet a few days ago because I saw it online and was amazed by how it worked. I've only tested it on a few things so far (it takes 2 coats and each takes 30 min to dry ), and its been pretty sweet so far. You really gotta use it right for it to work though (use enough, wait the right amount of time, spray at the all angles if used on fabric, etc...). I've heard a lot of talk about people considering using it on cars, so I thought since I just took a junk fender off my car, test it out and show you guys how it worked and what it looked like. For now, all I have it pictures of it applied (video is now up). But here it is on the fender:
I did it on a Cactus Green Audi paint color, taped off half the fender. The right side is the NeverWet.
Taped off one half during the painting
Makes everything matte color. Its like frosty looking. Maybe if you had a matte white car, it'd look okay, but on gloss paint, not so much haha. It works like crazy though. This is just part of my post, I will finish, and update this original post tomorrow with a video and probably some more tests. Probably put ketchup or chocolate syrup on it too. Maybe some mud, not sure yet. Let me know if you want me to try some reasonable. Be back tomorrow!
And if you aren't familiar:

Vanessa Hudgens & Austin Butler: Studio City Breakfast Buddies

Kicking off her day with a delicious meal, Vanessa Hudgens was spotted out to breakfast in Studio City this morning (January 12).
The "Sucker Punch" cutie was joined by her boyfriend Austin Butler as she strolled out of a local eatery and hopped into her car.
Last night, Vanessa was flying solo at the People's Choice Awards at the Nokia Theatre, prompting some rumors that she and Austin had split up.
However, given their public display of affection this morning, it looks like all is well between Miss Hudgens and Mr. Butler.
Enjoy the pictures of Vanessa Hudgens and Austin Butler out for breakfast in Studio City (January 12).

Crashes between cars, horses a concern in U.S. Amish country
By Daniel Kelley
PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - When a horse owned by an Amish family ran out onto a highway in rural Pennsylvania and collided with the van Amanda Mattern was riding in over the Labor Day weekend, the 37-year-old's injuries left her in a coma.
Unusual as that may sound for 21st-century America, that kind of accident is not uncommon in rural Lancaster County, about 80 miles west of Philadelphia in the heart of the Keystone State's Amish country, where horses and covered black buggies are a common sight and a challenge for traffic officials to manage.
"Eventually, if you live in Lancaster County, you are going to have a close encounter with a horse and buggy," said Jason McClune, Mattern's brother and the transportation director for the Solanco School District in Quarryville, Pennsylvania.
McClune is one of a handful of traffic officials in states with high concentrations of Amish seeking legislation to reduce the risk of horse, buggy and motor vehicle mishaps, such as a minimum age for buggy drivers. Since his sister's accident, he has been pushing state officials to consider new steps.
In the past 18 months, two of the district's buses have been involved in accidents with Amish vehicles - and McClune's wife was involved in another collision with a horse-drawn vehicle, he said.
The descendants of 18th-Century German immigrants who practice the Amish and Old Order Mennonite religions are concentrated in rural sections of Pennsylvania and Ohio, where they live in tight-knit communities and eschew much modern technologies, including automobiles and most electronic devices.
Transportation planners and engineers in Amish country have already adopted a range of techniques to help motorized and horse-drawn vehicles share roads more safely, including widening shoulders, adding some dedicated buggy paths, and in Pennsylvania issuing a driver's manual for buggy drivers that mirrors the one for motorists.
"It's the only manual of its kind that we know of," said Barbara Zortman, of the Center for Traffic Safety, a Pennsylvania-based organization that helped write the manual. "It's gone to Canada, Germany, across the entire country. This is also in the hands of high school driver education teachers." Continued...

The Takeaway
Unemployed in central Florida: Voices behind the vote
BUENAVENTURA LAKES, FLORIDA — While visiting an early voting location in Buenaventura Lakes, less than 10 miles from Disney World, I was intrigued by one voter, David Fernandez Rido. He's an unemployed small-business owner who is struggling to make his mortgage payments and find a job in this depressed economy. Like nearly one in two residents of this community, he's Hispanic. He'll soon be in the majority.

Chennai, June 30 (UNI) Siddha, the popular Indian system of medicine, has a cure for the dreaded chikungunya, Tamil Nadu Health Minister K K S S R Ramachandran said today.
Talking to newspersons after addressing a programme on 'Siddha treatment for chikungunya' here, he said 'Nila Vembu', a medicinal plant and 'Amukkra Sooranam' were effective in preventing the disease.
In the absence of any effective allopathic medicine, more than 20,000 patients were treated for chikungunya last year through Siddha medicine and they had recovered within five days, he said.
He said as Siddha proved to be effective for treating patients hit by chikungunya, caused by the Aides mosquito bite, the state government would organise awareness programmes about the efficacy of the Indian medicine.
The disease was widespread in the neighbouring Kerala and threatening to make a re-entry into Tamil Nadu. However, this year, no one was affected by chikungunya, Mr Ramachandran said adding the government, would, however, take all necessary measures to prevent the disease entering the state.
In the first phase, government would ensure that the Siddha medicines were available in government hospitals in Chennai, Coimbatore, Kanyakumari, Theni, The Nilgiris, Tirunelveli and Virudhunagar, he said.

I would just like to say that it is rediculous to use the word "liberal" as you would the word "*******" or "dumb ****". To say that someone is liberal, in the way that most americans do, is like saying they are terrible human beings or un-patriotic.
However, it makes me sad that the only way to get around this situation without harming your children is to just let it slide and bite the bullet. Sounds like this teacher has the same problem as a small percentage of police officers do...he needs to be in a different profession. He has a hard on for politics and propaganda, not for teaching children. He needs to get out of teaching altogether so he does not damage anymore young minds.

I can tell you one thing.
Im a newspaper reporter, and if this thing happened in my community, Id be all over it.
You can stop this, IF you are willing to embarass the school board.
Get comments from professional law enforcement, get the NRA or GOA involved, and get it in the paper. Turn the letter over to the paper, and allow your daughter to go on the record as to what the teacher said.
Give me a week, and I could stop this in my town.
"I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong." Denny Crane:
You have choices some affordable some not so. First you have to look at the public school system and college system. The college professors these days are all anti gun that are trying to indoctrinate our young, don't trust a one of them. Our local public schools were teaching islam stuff and that was going too far, of course don't try to say a prayer to Jesus Christ though. My daughter now goes to a private christian school that teaches God and country. You do have the right to pull her out of that class for that day. The school board should not allow anti american films especially from that commy Michael Moore. The other option is home schooling, do it for a year if you can. Or you will have to talk with your kids everyday to make sure that they are not being brain washed and will keep your ethics and beliefs.
Good Luck to ya this is a tough one

There's a great 'pro-gun' response to Michael "big liar" Moore's Columbine propaganda. Pick up a copy of Michael & Me by Larry Elder. You can find it at Amazon or on Larry Elder's website: http://www.larryelder.com/
If the liberal teacher gets to show Moore's lies, try to get the school to make him show Michael & Me. If they have any sense of fair play, they'll agree. Then again, it's the liberal mindset...

Is Home Schooling an option for you.
If so it solves all your problems. Your child gets a better education.
You get to control the environment and you can list this jerk as your primary reason.
As much as I would hate to watch Michael Moores propaganda,Why not rent it and study it with your daughter beforehand(Explain the lies).Then when her class is discussing the film after watching it, she can tear that commie teacher up with the truth,in front of the other students.This will do more good than skipping class that day!This will drive her teacher crazy,Screw that class !This late in the school year it would be real hard for the POS teacher to sabatage her grade to much.
I think the removing here from the course for the day the crappy movie shows and letting school board know you will do this every anti film would be good move..
Then take day off work and take her to the shooting range
I'm not familiar with how the schools work in Wisconsin. Do you have an elected school board? I know that in other places I've lived you have an elected representative on the school board. I would go to them as one course of action. I would only use the movie as yet another example of the teachers dictatorial tactics against the children. I would bring to the school board's attention that a civics teacher shouldn't be a dictator and should not be presenting a social agenda.
I would be cautious about how I went about this since the teacher will take it out on your daughter and most likely the siblings later. The teachers know the power they have is the grade book. However if you and more importantly your daughter are willing to fight, this is a civics lesson beyond all others.
I would have your daughter write a paper on dictatorships and how this teacher operates just like a dictator. Draw the parellels, which you have already detailed a few here. I would offer it to the principal and my school board member as an alternative grade for this civics class. As a parent I would strenuously object to this teacher and would try to find other parents who would do the same. For the principal and the school board it is a numbers game. If there are enough parents making noise about the teacher they will at least look into it and possibly some action will be taken.
If the easy way out is what your daughter prefers, remove her from that session only, objecting to the graphic nature of the film. Alternatively as the parent you could request to be there for the film and you can have the debate with the teacher. I would definitely watch it ahead of time so you have ready information. It should be your right as a parent to sit in any class your child attends. It may be the best 2-3 hours you take off work this year.
I would not recommend that your daughter take this teacher on directly in class. As a dictator over children he will only bully and deride her in front of her peers. He will do anything to make her look bad. As you have said he has already done. He will also get angry and try to find any way he can to affect her grade (I'm sure he can find a way). As an adult and Chief of Police you have a higher level of credibility, and even though the teacher will try those tactics with you, ultimately you may help educate the students in that class more than this teacher will.
I prefer not to use the labels liberal, conservative, anti-gun or pro-gun. In this case I would say this is an anti-rights teacher. If you are against any part of the Bill of Rights you are anti-rights. I don't believe liberals or conservatives, democrats or republicans own any high ground when it comes to rights in this country. Both sides of the aisle are anti-rights in one way or another. The left wing wants your guns, the right wing wants your protections under the law (search & seizure et. al.).
Good luck sir.
If this teacher is as big a jerk to all of his students as he has been to your daughter, support among the other students, and thus the parents should be relatively easy to get.
One thing no teen likes is an arrogant teacher. Many will jump at the chance to embarass him. Maybe even stage a walk out of his class.
Ultimately you and your daughter need to have some serious talks about this, and if you give her permission to do something back her to the wall if it goes badly.
One other thing, maybe this guy needs a little special scrutiny from your friends in the police dept. Guys like that almost always have been or are currently drug users.
I suggest you use it as an opportunity to teach your children about civics, civil disobedience and free speech. If it were me, I would ask the children to be polite and do their assignments, watch the movies and pay attention in case material from the movies ends up on tests, and I would check the movies out from the library or rent them, and review them with the kids to provide an alternative perspective. This guy can cause problems for your kids far out of scale to his size. Let the jerk think he's "won". He won't know the difference and he is far too small for you to be wasting any time on him.

silly siding question
I'm thinking and planning about residing my house, but we have the electrical lines running along the siding from the second story down to the ground level to the meter. How do I take the lines off temporarily to put the siding on??? Do I just pry off the brackets that are holding the elec. lines? Is that dangerous? Do I need a pro? Can I get the elec. co. turn off the power for a day or so??? Just looking for some advice. Thanks...

The electric company will disconnect the power at the mast and reattach it when your done.
Anywhere I've ever worked that service was free.

Jose Reyes is set to make his return to the New York Mets from the disabled list later this week.
The All-Star shortstop was seen running the bases at Citi Field without any discomfort before Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies.
Reyes, who is recovering from a Grade 1 strain in his left hamstring, is eligible to come off the disabled list Monday.
"I've been hitting and taking ground balls," Reyes said. "I've been running the past four days. I felt good. It's not a concern."
Reyes is likely to make at least one rehab start at Class A-Brooklyn on Monday.
"We'll let him play (in Brooklyn) and see how he feels and how he comes out of it," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "We don't want to activate him (Monday) and then he hurts himself and we've gotta disable him again. Let's just see how he comes out of a game first."
Reyes, who missed most of the 2009 season with a similar injury, was hitting .354 and led the league with 15 triples before the injury.
He becomes a free agent at the end of the season. The Mets, who recently traded Francisco Rodriguez to the Milwaukee Brewers, have said they would like to start a discussion with Reyes about a new contract. However, Reyes said he would prefer to wait until the offseason.

I bought this backpack for my 6 year old son to carry to school. It has plenty of room. I do wish it had a couple more little pockets to put smaller things in, but it is quite nice. My son loves the digital camo print & is very proud of his new backpack. I would totally order it again. Great backpack for the price.

Needed to replace mario backback when it self-destructed. Getting ready for middle school so decided to forego character backpack for a more mature look. Pros: 1.Good quality. 2.Super good price. 3.Good size-very roomy. 4.Son loves the minecraft-esque design. Cons: 1. no waterbottle mesh pockets that are often on sides of backpacks. 2. front zipper is difficut to manage-has a flap pver zipper and makes opening it a challenge. I guess that's a good teft deterent, though! My son loves it and it was an excellent price!

i had bought this for my eldest son who wants to be an army man and i wanted to encourage his desire and bought this also because i got tired of all the cheap avengers transformer backpacks that kept falling apart in the bottoms this so far has been abused enough it i think there is a chance it may survive long enough for him to get to middle school (he is in pre-k)

it's a backpack. Used heavily for school by teen boy. For a while he was keeping a collection of rocks in the bottom and it didn't rip out or anything. The stitching held up well over the last 4 months and I hope it holds together for another school year.

Gorgonzola and Walnut Terrine
- Servings: 10, plus leftovers
- 3/4 cup walnuts (3 ounces)
- 10 ounces Gorgonzola, preferably dolce, softened
- 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 pound fresh goat cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup minced chives
- Freshly ground pepper
- Toasted pumpernickel or baguette slices, for serving
How to make this recipe
Preheat the oven to 350°. Line a 4-cup soufflé dish, loaf pan or terrine with plastic wrap, allowing 4 inches of overhang on 2 sides.
Spread the walnuts in a pie plate and bake until lightly toasted, about 8 minutes. Let cool, then finely chop.
In a food processor, puree the Gorgonzola with two-thirds of the cream cheese until smooth.
In a bowl, blend the goat cheese with the remaining one-third of the cream cheese and 1/4 cup of the chives; season with pepper.
Sprinkle 1/3 cup of the walnuts in the bottom of the prepared dish. Spread half of the Gorgonzola mixture on top and sprinkle with half of the remaining walnuts and 2 tablespoons of the chives. Spread the goat cheese mixture on top, and sprinkle with the remaining walnuts and chives. Top with the remaining Gorgonzola mixture. Fold the plastic wrap over the top of the terrine and press lightly. Cover with more plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or for up to 2 days.
To unmold the terrine, unwrap it and lift it out by the plastic wrap, then turn it out onto a platter. Slice the terrine and let it return to room temperature before serving with toasts.
Suggested Pairing
A bright, tangy sparkling wine from California will cut the richness of the cheese and walnuts.

Suspension fix - no more front end clunk
So to keep it short and sweet, there was no way in hell I was getting anywhere with Ford, so I took matters into my own hands and fixed the damned clunk once and for all.
The broken parts include 2 front struts that were puddling oil around the front seals
as well as a very broken strut bearing on the right side.
After working on a few C1 chassis cars, I started to research suspension fixes and ended up with the following parts...
in addition, 2 new motorcraft strut bearings - part number AD-1094 and 2 strut pinch bolts for the front. You will not need 2 new strut nuts, as the Koni struts come with them.
front struts from a mazdaspeed 3 2010+
front springs are eibach pro kit for a 2012 focus
and in case anyone was wondering what the original application was for these parts, and what they look like put together...
The front struts required modification to the pinch bolt bracket (cutting) as pictured below-
The brake line bracket does not bolt up, but does require securing, using zipties and safety wire
and all put together...
I went with Bilstein B8 shocks in the rear for a 2008 volvo v50 wagon, which has a firmer bounddamping than the HD or Koni yellow, as well as offering the benefit of a high pressure gas charge (more stable when loaded down).
These bolted right in, no modification necessary.
Overall the ride is great, feels good to be a pioneer, the clunking is gone, and the ride is much better than before.
As it sits... "lowered"
I bought a mazda and all I got was some crappy motor mounts and wheelspin.

Liberal Jewish women activists blocked at Western Wall
By Allyn Fisher-Ilan
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Several thousand ultra-Orthodox protesters effectively blocked Jewish women activists campaigning for equal worship rights at the Western Wall from holding a monthly prayer session on Monday at the holy site.
Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said members and supporters of the Women of the Wall group were escorted by police to a spot a short distance from the Western Wall "to make sure there would be no incidents".
A spokeswoman for the movement, which is challenging the Orthodox monopoly over rites at the Western Wall, called the incident a setback after a court decided in April the women could legally don prayer shawls that Orthodox ritual says are meant for men only.
Prayer rites at the site, revered by Jews as a perimeter wall of the Biblical Temple, are part of a long struggle between Israel's secular majority and ultra-Orthodox minority over lifestyle in the Jewish state, where institutions such as marriage, divorce and burial are controlled by rabbis.
Women pray at a separate section, set apart from men. Women of the Wall want to be able to practice the rituals reserved by Orthodox law for men - such as wearing prayer shawls and reading out loud from the Torah, or holy scriptures - in their section.
"It's the first time in 25 years we could not reach the plaza," of the wall, Shira Pruce, a group spokeswoman said. "They (police) held up back. It's our right to go there."
The 300 activists instead prayed some 50 meters (yards) from the Western Wall. Some of the ultra-Orthodox protesters, who included women, threw eggs at the group, and cursed them and police. Rosenfeld said four of the ultra-Orthodox demonstrators were arrested.
Tensions were running high at the Western Wall, a day after the Israeli cabinet approved a draft law to abolish wholesale military draft exemptions for Jewish seminary students. Continued...

Chaka Khan Honored With "Chaka Khan Day" in Native Chicago
Fri, 28 Jun 2013 14:56:20
Chaka Khan Photos
Chaka Khan Videos
Every day should be Chaka Khan Day, but sadly, it'll be relegated to one day --July 28-- for the soul singer.
Khan is being honored with her own day in her native Chicago. To celebrate, she will take the stage to perform a free outdoor concert in Millennium Park.
Local city officials and Mayor Rahm Emanuel will also unveil a street sign in her name near her former high school.
Needless to say, she is STOKED.
"Chicago is where it all began for me," the diva said. "Even before (joining the band) Rufus, I sang with local groups such as The Babysitters, Lock and Chain and Lyfe. As a young girl, growing up on Carpenter Street, my parents introduced me to a very rich musical foundation – starting with jazz and opera. I owe this city so much, and I'm deeply honored by this tribute. Chicago will always be a part of me, and with this street naming, I now will always be a part of it. It's a blessing to me and my family. We are profoundly grateful to all the people of Chicago."
Amen to that!
What artist should have a day named after them in their home town?

Going to North American Auto show Thursday
I will report back. Anything in particular
I should check out?[popcorn]
Get a picture of yourself standing in front of the Shelby ST with a big thumbs-down. LOL
fiesta ST
Okay my one mans opinion on NAAS
Shellby was an after thought at the show...you had to seek it out downstairs.
They basically parked a line up of Shelby shop cars in a basement like atmosphere. I had to ask people at Ford where the Shelby Focus was,some didn't t know where it was. So I have to say I believe this it is strictly an after market toy...not something off the line at Ford....good thing too.
I love the new Ford Focus St...the Euro Rs ( which I had the opportunity to drive..wicked fast), and my old SVT. Which brings me back to the Shelby Focus.
I'm not gonna call it a joke, but I doubt Ol man Shelby would have givin it his blessings. We don't even need to talk about the Taxi paint job or fake carbon, the hood vents said it all. We are talking about some furnace register like vents that don't even sit flush with the hood, and apon further inspection they are nonoperational...what were they thinking? They should be embarrased.
The Mustangs were beautiful. 632 horses in the new top pony.
The model A was cool....and rugged.
The front end on the Atlas truck is a work of macho art.
I always loved the Viper, still do.
I found Mercedes stuffy and a bit boring, except for one...it was cool.
Toyota, no.
Vw, just wasn't interested.
Checked out Hyundai, they are still trying, ope ope. Gangham style.
BMW was nice as usual, would have loved to see an m3 hot rod there completely tuned .
Liked Chyrslers new matte colors. Some cool off road stuff there.
Now for the exalted Vette stingray. I have to say I am not happy with all the Vettes through the years..there have been some ugly ones...just to clarify I haven't drank that cool aid. The new Vette is cool, is there something we all would change? Of course....but what I really really liked was the tail lights.They had this depth to them, like you were looking into someone's eye deep into their brain...very cool.
That's it for now.
Well, you forgot pics:) Nice to know your opinion on what you have said, basically the same way I feel about these cars as well. Now where are the pics!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pics or it didn't happen.lol
The Mustangs were beautiful. 632 horses in the new top pony.
i feel about these cars as well. Now where are the pics
sorry bout the no pics. I do not wear a watch , don't carry a camera,haven't worn my wedding ring in 20 years, had two trak phones in the last year, first one was lost when i stood up to take a piss out of a canoe and i felll in the lake, the second one was destroyed in my roll over accident. Never got another , I hate when my wife calls me when I am hitting an entrance ramp at 90....its just not worth it. I understand the need for the phone/cameras if you use them to advance yourself, but for me its an extra bill I don't need at the end of the month.
The hottest babe by far was the Amazon babe at the Viper Display, she wasn't one of those skinny models. No, this chick had presence, like an olympic athlete.Very Hot. i do wish I had a pic of her to share...there were plenty of cameras aimed at her.
Well then, this thread was pointless...

New Delhi Returns to Normal as Police Ease Curbs After Clashes
Police lifted traffic restrictions and reopened metro stations in central New Delhi as India's capital returned to normal following protests and violent clashes triggered by the gangrape of a 23-year-old student.
Authorities removed checkpoints around India Gate, the venue that saw the use of water cannons and tear gas over the weekend, easing the commute of office goers after the Christmas holiday. A ban against public gathering of more than four people remains in force, Delhi Police spokesman Rajan Bhagat said in an interview.
Six men raped and brutalized the woman in a moving chartered bus in the city on Dec. 16, sparking outrage and anger that intensified into street demonstrations days later, fueled by postings on Facebook Inc. and Twitter Inc. sites. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh appealed for calm while the protesters demanded the death penalty for the six accused even as the victim remained critical in the hospital.
Data provided by India's National Crime Records Bureau show about 24,200 cases of rape and 228,650 cases of crimes against women were reported in 2011. Still, figures given by the United Nations show 1.8 cases of rape for every 100,000 in India, compared with 63 in Sweden, 29 in the U.K. and 27 in the U.S. Most cases go unreported in India.
Rewriting Code
One policeman died yesterday following the clashes over the weekend, while 65 protesters and 78 security personnel were injured, the Times of India reported on Dec. 24.
Singh assured "all possible efforts to ensure security and safety to all women," while the government set up a panel to rewrite the nation's criminal code to include capital punishment for the "rarest of rare" rape cases.
Before last month's hanging of Mohammed Ajmal Kasab, the lone surviving Pakistani gunman involved in the 2008 Mumbai attacks, India last executed the death penalty in 2004, when a convicted rapist was hanged 14 years after committing the crime. Slow trials and lax enforcement of laws also fueled the protests in the capital.
India has about 15 judges for each million of its 1.2 billion people, according to United Nations data. In China there are about 159 judges per million people, while in the U.S. the figure is about 108.

The use of the telephone has been around for so many years, and for a lot of reasons. If you have a
dial-up or broadband connection, you know you need a phone line so you can surf the Internet. You also
have to identify the telephone number of your Customer Service Department. Every time something goes
wrong with your system, it will be one device you will surely love to run to.
When you have problems with either of your satellite TV components, you can call on the Dish Network
customer department. Certainly, there will always be the ever-friendly and reliable technical support
representative who will be happy to help you out with your problem.
There are times when you cannot download your pay per view movies or concerts or DOD event. Sometimes
too there are moments when you cannot order any even since you have to download it. This is being
referred to as 007, 018, 008, or 080 errors. The main cause of the problem could be that the receiver
needs to download such pay per view event. The download can become uneventful, however, because there
seems to be an interruption when it comes to your Dish Network phone, or there is something wrong with
the setup of your Dish Network phone and the receiver. It can also be that the phone line technology
being utilized is not supported or that the Internet connection can't be supported by your receivers.
If you like to solve the problem, you need to make sure that your Dish Network phone is properly
connected to the phone line being utilized from your receiver. The other thing that you also have to
double check is the connection of your Ethernet cable to the line that provides the Internet connection.
You also need the Dish Network phone hotline when you are going to move places. It's but usual that you are
going to transfer from one neighborhood to another for one reason or the other. Dish Network can actually
help make things a lot easier for you, regardless of whether you're a new customer or not. In fact, the
existing customers can enjoy free transfer of the service for the Dish Network to any location. You can
also leave your old dish at your previous home while Dish Network can give you a new one. However, you
can also pack your receivers as well as remote controls and bring them with you. Nevertheless, before
you move and have someone install the new system, don't forget to make a good call to the Dish Network
phone line.
Are you having trouble paying up your bills with your debit, check, or credit card? You can relieve yourself
from the problem by simply calling your Dish Network phone hotline. You can also log in to your account in Dish
Network or you can apply to Customer Service Department through channel 100. It's being referred to as Interactive
TV. Of course, you may directly dial the number for automated phone system and simply follow the instructions of
the voice prompt. However, if you are going to use the Dish Network phone line, you are going to be charged with
$5 for every payment you make with your debit or credit card.
You also have to pass through the Dish Network phone hotline department if you wan to have a couple of
preferences in your profiles changed. These include the expiration date of your credit card or end the
Indeed, when you need anything, all you have to do is to dial and call the Dish Network phone line.

I am 6 months pregnant and was looking for underwear that didnt roll down. These are perfect for that. They are NOT attractive in any way, lol, but they are super comfortable and do the job. The "support band" in the front is kind of strange and a waste, they dont provide any support. But I am happy with them, they dont roll and they dont ride.

Maybe it's because I'm still grieving over missing the awesome list challenge about creating the soundtrack of your life, maybe it's because I just wrote a post about Valentine's Day and what makes my heart happy or maybe it's because I'm a total movie geek (yea, that's the probably the one).
Since love is the subject of this week's listicle, I decided to list 10 movies I love, about love.
1. Eternal Sunshine for the Spotless Mind
After finding out his recent ex-girlfriend has had a medical procedure to wipe her memory of him completely, Joel decides to do the same but changes his mind half way through the procedure and must find ways to hide away his memories before they are erased. Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet are amazing as Joel and Clementine. Also in the movie, Elijah Wood, Kristen Dunst, David Cross and Mark Ruffalo. I have no idea how or why this movie didn't get the attention it deserves.
It's about When things are messy and hard and the person you are with makes you crazy and things are not perfect but you want to be with them anyway, that's love.
2. Happy Accidents
Sam (Vincent D'Onofrio) loves Ruby (Marisa Tomei ) so much, he would time travel to save her life. Or maybe he's just crazy. Either way, they connect in a way no one understands but somehow is meant to be. A sort of sci-fi love movie for grown ups, This movie is so romantic, sweet, funny and beautiful.
3. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
I was caught off guard by the rich, beautiful and tragic love stories in this movie. Two very different couples, deeply in love but unable be together because of tradition, honor and a restless spirit. The fight scenes are as beautiful and incredibly shot as the love scenes.
4. True Romance
This is love, Quentin Tarantino style. Big action scenes, matching tattoos, a quickie wedding, an all star cast and some incredible monologues by the likes of Christian Slater, Dennis Hopper, Gary Oldman and Christopher Walken to name a few. Pretty violent in parts but the love story is awesome and fun.
5. The Illusionist
Edward Norton is a great magician who falls in love with a woman (Jessica Biel) well above his social class and is forced to use talent and tricks in the hopes of keeping her. Another movie that is beautiful to watch with an ending you don't see coming.
6. Crazy, Stupid, Love
After he is taken under the wing of super slick ladies man Ryan Gosling, Steve Carel must find himself and the strength to fight for his failing marriage to Julianne Moore. The cast is amazing, the story is awesome and I finally get the Ryan Gosling obsessions now – Haha! Try not to fall in love with him while watching this movie.
7. Coal Miners Daughter
Maybe this isn't exactly a romantic movie but it is funny, tragic, sweet and kind of incredible. Not a great husband (he cheats, she writes a hit song about it), Tommy Lee Jones is great as Doolittle Lynn and Sissy Spacek is awesome as Loretta. I have watched this so many times, I can sing along with every song in the movie.
8. The Bride Came C.O.D.
No trailer for this one but here's the IMDB page
In this 1941 movie, a broke James Cagney is hired to kidnap a spoiled socialite (Betty Davis) by her father after she plans to run off and elope with a band leader she's only known for 4 days. Things go wrong, they get stranded, hate each other and of course, fall in love. Cute, funny and sweet watch, one for the Netflix crowd or catch it on Turner Classic Movie channel.
9. Going the Distance
The ultimate movie for anyone who's ever been in a long distance relationship. I love the honesty in this movie and how sweet and really funny it is as well. Justin Long is really good, I loved Christina Applegate as the cynical older sister and Drew Barrymore is as cute as always.
10. The Princess and The Warrior
A lonely nurse falls in love after being saved during an accident by a handsome, distant stranger. Kind of a darker love story, still a favorite. This is before Franka Porte did the Jason Borne movies, Benno Fürmann is perfect as the haunted, brooding hero.
Hope you enjoyed! Looking forward to reading all the love-lists this week.
And – Happy Valentines Day to all!

More than 85 percent of Bonded Logic's UltraTouch insulation comes from denim recycled from clothing manufacturers. TANNERHECHT architects value the product's sustainable story, as well as its performance: "As an insulation material, we find UltraTouch to be superior in manufacturing and installation," Hecht says. It "achieves the same R-values as typical thermal insulation products and has great acoustical properties." Better still, the VOC-free batts are treated with borates for fire resistance and mold protection. Bonded Logic, 480.812.9114; www.bondedlogic.com.

- - A new problem with Sibi... (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/health-issues/413402-new-problem-sibi.html)
A new problem with Sibi...
Sib went to the groomer on Mon and has seemed out of sorts since...Starting yesterday she is paying attention to her anus..looking behind hr..scooting on the carpet, etc....She is very lethargic today ...I lifted her tail to check out her butt and she yelped..not at all normal for her..she is tough...I called the groomer to see if they expressed her anal glands and they say no...her anus does look a little irritated to me..but mostly the top of her tail seems swollen, but gosh I don't know ...Anyone have any ideas as to what can be wrong? Could she have somehow hurt her tail..top..at the end of her back...I gave her a tramadol for pain but she still seems out of sorts..She will wag her tail but not like normal..I know a trip to the vet seems in order, however, I badly need eye care and have been saving for that...but, of course, Sib is most important ...Advise?
the groomer may have run the clipper over the anus or the shampoo may have iratated the outside of the anus.
Our Daisy had impacted anal gland issues but they didn't start as suddenly as what your describing with Sibi. I think Hunter Green's thought about shaving to close or an irritation would make more sense. Maybe give it a day or so more and see if it continues.
Did they perhaps restrain her by her tail or something weird like that?
How she is acting, it sounds like she has something similar to what's called Swimmer's tail. Basically when dogs tend to get it the most, they have been swimming like mad and basically strained the muscle on their tail. They hold their tail down, sit rather quickly, yelp and are resistant to you looking at that area. You can usually tell them fairly easily.
With swelling it never hurts to have a vet trip, and while tramadol is nice for pain, it doesn't do anything for the inflammation part of it. Which tends to be where pain/swelling like to meet. Poor girl. :(
I have had nothing but problems with my two females and their butts after the groomer. Most groomers do express the glands but not the right way, it's best for a vet to do it. If she wasn't trimmed, ask what kind of comb they used . If they brushed her out to hard they could have irritated her skin. Move her fur to see if skin is irritated.
Thanks for all the reply's....She seems about the same today and by Fri if no improvement I will call the vet...
Update...Sib is back to normal though I have not tried to even touch her tail...but she is happy again and wagging her whole tail again....
