Conservationists tried to halt a new attempt by the Japanese whaling factory ship Nisshin Maru to refuel as a military icebreaker reached the conflict off the Australian Antarctic Territory.
Attempts were made by the Japanese whalers to break a Sea Shepherd blockade of the Korean tanker Sun Laurel on Monday, for the first time since the two sides clashed last week.
After colliding several times with the activists' ship, the Bob Barker, the Nisshin Maru backed away before attacking again, the Sea Shepherd founder, Paul Watson, said.
''The Nisshin Maru first rammed the Bob Barker and pushed it into the side of the Sun Laurel,'' Mr Watson said.
''Concussion grenades are being deployed against the Bob Barker, and near the tanker. They have made another run, ramming the Sam Simon in the port quarter. It's a very intense situation.''
Earlier, the 12,500- tonne Japanese Maritime Self-Defence Force icebreaker Shirase approached the scene in Mackenzie Bay, near the coast of the Australian Antarctic Territory far south-west of Perth.
A helicopter from the Shirase flew over the Sun Laurel, and kept course with it, Mr Watson said.
The Environment Minister, Tony Burke, said Japan needed to confirm the Shirase and the tanker were not linked.
''Japan has told the government that the Shirase is not involved in supporting their so-called scientific whaling fleet,'' Mr Burke said
''If there is no link or support to the Japanese whaling fleet, has there been a link, support or transfer of Japanese personnel to the South Korean tanker?'' he said. ''The tanker is the life blood for the rest of this disgusting operation.''
The Shirase was first detected on Sea Shepherd's radar by its ship's automatic identification signal, and at last report, Mr Watson said it was visible on the horizon about 12 nautical miles away.
Asked whether the appearance of the Shirase meant it would be used in the conflict, representing an escalation of the situation, Japan's consul-general in Melbourne, Hidenobu Sobashima, said: ''There are no such facts as alleged.
''We are not in a position to make a statement on the movement of the ships,'' he said.
The icebreaker was scheduled to be in the region conducting Antarctic marine scientific work off nearby Cape Darnley, an informed Australian source said.
The blockade by Sea Shepherd stopped the Nisshin Maru from reaching the Sun Laurel last Wednesday.
Instead the whalers' mother ship was involved in a series of damaging collisions with the three Sea Shepherd vessels, and with the Sun Laurel.
The collisions raised fears of injury, or a fuel spill in pristine Antarctic waters far from aid.
After they parted, the Sun Laurel headed out of the sea ice zone, while the Nisshin Maru stayed in the region. Japan denied that its whaling program had been suspended.

text: I have come to realize that 'long shirt tail' is merely a marketing gimmick for ready-made shirt makers so as to accomodate people of different height. I am not that tall (5"10) and sometimes the extra-long shirt tail just becomes a bundle under my pants. My new shirt from my tailor just came in and this time it is tailored a little shorter than the other ones, and it works fine. What's your opinion on shirt length? For those doing bespoke, how long do you usually have your shirts made? Second question: while shirt cuffs are always made to fit your wrists, how 'wide' are your jacket cuffs? I have yet to decide the perfect proportion between the jacket cuffs and the wrist/shirt cuffs. Ready-made suits always have cuffs that are too wide, for obvious reasons. I have mine 4" larger all-around (or 2" wider), what are your opinions?

mix 120ml of 0.320M silver nitrate with 40ml of 0.320M potasium chromate. What mass of silver chromate is produced?
I am stuck please help
Write the balanced reaction and determine the limiting reactant. That will tell you how many moles of silver chromate are produced. Convert that to grams using the molar mass.
Hint: Potassium chromate is K2CrO4
CrO4(-2) is divalent.
this is what I came up with
molar mass of 2agno3 = 277.18
molar mass of k2cro4 = 194.2
molar mass of ag2cro4 = 331.08
limiting reactant k2cro4
is this anywhere near right?
Your answer is close to a factor of 10 off but I don't understand most of what you did.
Here is how I would do it, following DrWLS' response.
moles AgNO3 = M x L = 0.32 x 0.120 = 0.0384 moles.
moles K2CrO4 = M x L = 0.32 x 0.040 = 0.0128 moles.
How much AgNO3 must we have if K2CrO4 is the limiting reagent? We must have 0.0128 x 2 = 0.0256 and we have that much; therefore, K2CrO4 is the limiting reagent. (We can check it by asking how much K2CrO4 we must have if AgNO3 is the limiting reagent. We must have 0.0384 x 1/2 = 0.0192 moles K2CrO4 and we don't have that much; therefore, K2CrO4 is the limiting reagent.)
So we will have 0.0128 moles Ag2CrO4 produced and that x molar mass 0.0128 x 331.73 = 4.246 grams Ag2CrO4 which rounds to 4.25 grams (I'm guessing we are allowed 3 significant figures although with 40 and 120 written as they are I can't tell). Check you work; perhaps you just made a decimal point error.
Thank you so much, now I understand ... I think :)

Anime is an abbreviation of the word "animation" though the term refers to japanese animation.
|Japan's bastardization of the great show "24" into an inferior Anime product… the bastards!!
Connections to Tek Jansen Edit
Contrary to popular belief, Anime does not include the world popular "Adventures of Tek Jansen" cartoon series which the Japanese people have shamlessly copied for generations though failing miserably to achieve its animated magnificance. In recent reports, however, it was revealed that "Anime makes Tek Jansen happy". Because of this, the demand for anime (and the happiness of the sexy idol Tek Jansen) has grown substantially. However this turned out be a lie created by evil left winged Democrats trying to trick America by accepting this brain washing material. Tek Jansen quickly killed all the Democrats involved with this conspiracy.
The Anime Art style Edit
One major trademark of the anime style are big breasts on woman, this is an actual reflection of the Japanese culture as it is traditional for Japanese women to receive breast implants on their 13th birthday. Another common trait are the large soulful eyes, resembling that of our hero Stephen Colbert and our world savior Jesus Christ. Another aspect of anime is that it is very vibrant. The colors of anime are often very visually appealing, for obvious reasons. Sometimes, anime involves fast food chains, something that causes Stephen Colbert to be very concerned.
Purposes of AnimeEdit
Anime is designed to give liberals pornography to look at. This is because any liberal cannot stand to see an actual woman naked, unless they are lesbian and/or art history professors. Anime is their way of 'getting some' without actually 'having any'.
Anime is also used for much more sinister purposes. Since the early 1960's when Astro Boy was first launched into the television sets all over the world, it has been used as propaganda by the pro-robot agenda to convince children that robots are our friends. Which they are not, as anyone who has ever seen The Terminator films can tell you. Most sensible Westerners, with the notable exception of Isaac Asimov, can tell you that a robot would rather shoot you to pieces, have sex with you and THEN shoot you to pieces, or at the very least tell you to bite his(?) shiny metal ass. Anime, however, teaches children that robots can be your classmate, your pet, your friendly car, your girlfriend, and probably even your boyfriend.
Anime has also been a staunch supporter of The Gay since the 1980's, when the first homosexual porn, known as yaoi (which I think is Japanese for "Why the hell do we need a plot, moral, or story when we can just show two good-looking gay guys getting it on") came to VHS. It seems like practically every anime series, except maybe Voltron, has at least one gay or lesbian hero or heroine. And really, what kind of message is that sending to the children?
Lastly, anime is almost as useful a primer as Harry Potter in teaching children about the occult. Did you know, for example, that teenage girls can use crystals to give themselves a terrific make-up job and pick out a great pair of shoes for you? Or that crystals can bring about world peace? Or that Phobos and Deimos were the pet crows of the Roman god Mars? I didn't until I watched the evil documentary about schoolgirls and the New Age called Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon. But any intelligent and gutly human being can tell you that Pretty Soldier Sailor Pawn of Satan is nothing more than Satan's minions carefully inserting the contents of The Audubon Society Guide to Rocks and Minerals, The Golden Bough, and the collected works of Joseph Campbell and Shirley MacClaine into a poor manga "artist's" brain. (If your preteen girls crave liberating role models, I recommend Left Behind: The Kids, Mark Twain's Joan of Arc, and the Spice Girls as wholesome alternatives.)
Anime vs RealityEdit
Its Terrible Effect On Our Children: The Japanisation of White Americans!Edit
It is suspected that constant exposure to Anime can rotten the brain of our children. The FDA recommends a minimal exposure of at least 10 minutes to this foreign culture, yet our children are exposed to Anime radiation 24 hrs a day. Certain side effects have been noticed by the FDA during their observation and study of Anime effect in our children:
- 35% performed animal cruelty. They were holding underground tournaments using their pets to see who could become a P@kemon Master (?)
- 27% wanted to wear sailor moon costumes
- 23% suffered from seizures.
- 15% were mutated into grown fat nerds with an obsession with "maidos"
- 43% were noticed to wear cat ears and cry "neko nya"
- 37% were found to be affected with "Yuri", a dangerous Japanese disease
- 20% would not shut up and stop adding "desu" in their daily vocabulary
- 50% of our FDA inspectors went insane during this study
Signs That Your Children have been affected by Anime:Edit

Have Parenting Questions? Ask a Parenting Counselor for Answers
You are in fact doing the right thing by making your son pay for his actions. He is of the age to be considered an adult and should be treated as one. He should not expect you to pay for everything especially since he makes money. You are not stealing his money. Who does he expect to pay for the "extra" expenses incurred on his credit card? Soon, he will be paying for nearly all of his expenses. You are simply preparing him for that day which will come sooner than later!!!
If this has helped. Please ACCEPT. Have a great evening!!!

Black groups demand Condon's dismissal
The home secretary wants Sir Paul Condon to stay on
Black professional groups have criticised Jack Straw's support of Metropolitan Police chief Sir Paul Condon.
The Society of Black Lawyers and the Association of Black Probation Officers say the commissioner should lose his job following the publication of the Stephen Lawrence report.
In a joint statement, a spokesman said: "We regard Sir Paul Condon's position as untenable. This is inevitable given the scale of the criticism of the Metropolitan Police.
"He no longer carries the trust and confidence of the black community necessary to undertake the task in hand."
The spokesman welcomed the Lawrence report's findings but disputed the notion that the "pernicious" racism referred to in it could be wholly "unwitting".
"There is overwhelming evidence that there are many serving police officers up and down the country that deliberately and knowingly target and stereotype members of the African, Caribbean and Asian community," he said.
The society's Eral Robinson also expressed disappointment at the home secretary's refusal to review the police's stop and search powers.
He said that stop and search had "particularly adversely affected the black community".
Speaking in Birmingham, he said he did not know how the present system could be made to work more fairly.
He cited the case of Carl Joseph, a Birmingham man who took action against the police after he had been stopped and searched 34 times.
He said: "I am disappointed that there's to be no amendment to the stop and search powers the police have.
"It is said that these powers will remain but will be used with more fairness, but I am not sure how that is going to be achieved."
However, he told the BBC that he was "particularly excited" about rights which are to be afforded to families involved in inquests.
The report's call for changes to the rules against double jeopardy - trying a suspect on the same charges twice - was welcomed.
The Immigration and Asylum Act and War Crimes Act showed it was not a "sacrosanct legal principle" and second trials should go ahead if an individual's human rights had been violated, the spokesman said.
The Bar Council gave a cautious reaction to calls for a change to the "double jeopardy" rule.
A spokesman warned: "We must not face a situation where the state can endlessly prosecute unpopular defendants until they get the 'right result'.
"Of course, we would welcome any change to the law which would allow for genuinely new evidence to be reconsidered by a court in its fullest possible context."
Call for curriculum change
Dr Ghayasuddin Siddiqui, leader of the Muslim Parliament, applauded the Lawrence inquiry's recommendations and praised the report's inclusion of the term "institutionalised racism".
He also called for the national curriculum to be changed to emphasise cultural diversity. "The current curriculum is the root of racism and intolerance in our society," said Dr Siddiqui.
The British Sikh Federation said it hoped Sir Paul would stay in his job and oversee the promised reforms.
"Other police services have admitted institutionalised racial discrimination and it would be pointless and damaging to expect so many chief constables to resign," the federation said in a statement.
"The police officers on duty or at fault should resign or be dismissed instead."

Jennifer Dontz Candy Clay Oozing Mess!
Baking By shearpamela Updated 7 Dec 2010 , 2:14pm by JenniferMI
I made a stringy oozing glob of a mess somehow! It looked so easy I cannot imagine what I could have done wrong?
I mixed the super white chocolate at 50%power on 1 minute intervals for about 2 and a half minutes, mixed well then added 1 cup light karo to it and stirred liked mad and it got stringy and is now oozing a milky substance - not at all like hers on the video.
Help! I need to make her fondant asasp! Did I ruin it or can it be saved?
I don't know her recipe, but most of the candy clays I've seen you have to let set up over night.
You can go ahead and mix it with your fondant. It will be more messy than when she does it on her video, but it will mix in. I just made some over the weekend and it did that a little as well and I think I mixed it too much. Good Luck! HTH!
I may have over stirred it, I think it must be the fat and oils that came out of the white chocolate. It sure does taste good though!
I plan to let it sit awhile, at least until I get some feedback as to what to do next - knead it until it absorbs some of it back in or toss it and start over!
Such a simple recipe too.... We need a trouble shooting article on some of these things!
If you pm or email her, she will help you! (JenniferMI on here)
Yes, it does need to cure for several hours or overnight but my guess is that it may have been the "stir like crazy" step that got you. When I make mine I just stir it enough to incorporate the corn syrup well, then STOP or else the oils will start to separate and ooze out. I have this problem more with good white chocolate than when I use the candy melts.
You haven't ruined it. Try letting it sit overnight or for a couple hours then knead it for a bit to see if you can get that emulsion back. If it gets rock hard, that's normal. Just nuke it for a few seconds till it becomes a tiny bit pliable and then knead it a bit. At any point if you overwork it it wil start to separate. Next time try using a little less corn syrup, that may help as well.
Thanks for all the support
I will let it sit at room temp awhile or even overnight and see what happens. Im afraid if the oils oozed out it might make the overall fondant less pliable and prone to tearing.
I did pm Jennifer so I will also see what she advises.

Sorry i am of no help what so ever - but your description had me howling
Your braver than me - i probably would have thrown it in the bin and ticked it off my list as a *been there - done that*
But now i shall track your thread to see what the *troble shooting answers will be*....so as i know for the future.
Thankyou for posting - many of us will learn from this thread -
I also had a similiar problem. Just got a new batch of chocolate and the candy clay became crumbly/seperated. After mixing it in, it was fine.
As it sits it seems to be transforming into a more cohesive glob at least - I squished at it and the milky stuff had thickened up and seemed to be able to knead back in a bit.
I have it covered and resting on the counter for now.
I need to quit pinching bits off to taste! Yummy
To be continued......
I'm happy to try and help. You more than likely stirred it to long. May I ask, are you using Mercken's super white candy melts and Pettinice? If it starts emiting liquid you stirred it to long. You stir the syrup into the chocolate JUST enough to incoorporate it, NO longer. The more you stir, the more liquid will come out of the chocolate. But, you more than likely can still use it. I'm so sorry it took me a bit to answer you, but I've been away since Friday teaching MI mini classes. Pop the DVD in and watch exactly how many stirs I make of the choc. mixture. You should stir QUICKLY but no a whole lot. You also could have gotten the chocolate to hot, melt it JUST until it's melted, then take the electric beater to it to make certain there are no lumps in it. I usually beat it about 30 seconds.....
As far as what you have now, once it hardens back up, you more than likely can put it into the microwave until it's VERY soft and warm. Knead it a bit in your hands to knead out any lumps and then add to your fondant.
I hope this works for you, I am certain you over stirred it. If I can help more, please let me know ok?
Sweet regards,
Jennifer Dontz
Do you think it is possible that you used too much corn syrup? I'm not sure but I thought Candy Clay called for 1/3 c corn syrup
I also helped her in a PM, I think she is good to go
I think the ratio of syrup depends on how much chocolate you have in your recipe.
It sure does taste good though!
DITTO on that! I made some and mixed it with that heinous tasting Wilton fondant (for a dummy cake) and it even made the Wilton fondant taste good!!! And I love how it covers cakes. That will be my "go to" for covering cakes from now on!
Anyone who can come up with something that makes Wilton fondant taste good is a genius!
Amen to that one sis'ta!!!!!
Well, I used the Super White Merckens candy clay in the Pettinice fondant according to Jennifer Dontz's recipe and even though I over stirred it and created panic in myself after it oozed and sat in a milky puddle - it rested overnight and after kneading it again it was fine. It worked GREAT in the recipe - no tears or stretching at all.
I was so relieved and happy and will never overwork the candy clay again
I'm SO glad it worked out for you, thanks for letting us know! If you ever have a question, I'm here to help.

Isn't that just the best stuff? I love how it gives more "stretchability" (for lack of a better word) to the fondant. And you can't beat the taste.
Glad you like my fondant!!!!
Please see update here:
This really is a miracle, I made my first batch last night, and tested it tonight.... I feel like I've found religion... lol!
A question, how thin is it safe to roll it? I rolled it so thin tonight I could see right through it, just to see how far I could push it. If I roll it too thin on a wedding cake, am I taking any kind of risk? I'm sure it's on the DVD, but I don't have it yet, my friend is sending it to me as a gift and it's still in transit from overseas. lol... she said I needed it after I cried on her shoulder about spending two hours trying to roll out my pettinice (the only kind we can get here).
It's a shame we can't get corn syrup here in NZ, I had to get an imported bottle (super expensive), so I'll be testing it with glucose next, which is readily available. Can't wait to try that too, I love kitchen experiments!
This has really made my day! I just finished my first tiered cake last week, it took me almost six hours to roll out the fondant due to sticking and ripping and stretching. I'm doing my second tiered cake for a friends wedding next week, and my confidence is a bit shaken. This will help, I know it will!
Zespri -
Did you try my recipe?
With it, you can roll it THIN, but to tell you the truth, I've never pushed it to SUPER thin like you are describing. I do know it's MUCH stronger that straight from the package Pettinice. You can use glucose, PM me k? I'll lookup the ratio. I usually put it around 1/8", sometimes a bit less.
This is one of my best investments in my DVD Collection. Your baking technique produces a perfect cake every time. Bought the chocolate but have to order the fondant. I usually make MMF but will try the Pettinice.
Hi cakesnglass!
I'm THRILLED you like my DVD's! If you have any questions at all, I'm here to help.
Yes, please do try the Pettinice. I highly recommend, at least the first time around, using the exact ingredients in my recipes. Otherwise, you won't know how they should come out/perform.
Hope you have a blessed holiday season.

Series highlights camping with kids
Sun., June 21, 2009
A big prize is waiting for families who explore camping and hiking with the kids this summer.
The tents, sleeping bags and trip to Glacier National Park, complete with fuel voucher, is only the minor prize.
The big reward is the bonding and discovery families can enjoy by reuniting with the great outdoors, sponsors say.
Mountain Gear, KSPS Public TV, Spokane Parks and Recreation and The National Parks Service are organizing a series of activities and educational programs for youths and adults. They start this week and run well into 2010.
On Wednesday, Spokane Parks and Recreation Department will present the first of six "Fireside Chats" to instruct families on the basics of family camping, with plenty of local insight.
Each time a family attends one of these talks and demonstrations, they will be entered in a sweepstakes to win camping gear from Marmot as wells as a national park vacation, said Phil Bridgers of Mountain Gear.
In September, KSPS will become involved as it kicks off a national parks documentary series by award-winning director Ken Burns.
Fireside chats featuring national park rangers are planned at schools next fall.

Stem Sell Job
Gilbert Meilaender on Why The Christian Century Is Wrong About "Spare" Embryos
More than any other strand of Christian denominational existence in America, mainline Protestant churches have sought to shape public life. The will to do that still remains, though the energy may be diminishing. But more important than either the will or the energy is the question of what wisdom, if any, these churches have to offer us on controverted issues in our public life. The answer to that question can sometimes be rather disappointing, and I offer here a brief example.
In its June 28, 2005 issue, The Christian Century ran a (rather brisk) editorial, "Lives of the embryo," in which it commented on the public debate about whether it would be right to destroy (so-called) spare embryos in order to procure stem-cell lines for scientific research. President Bush, the editorial suggested, "has chosen an odd place to draw a line against stem cell research."
The editorial provides both an occasion to examine some of the claims made by those who advocate such use of spare embryos and an opportunity to ponder one way in which this formerly influential strand of Protestant tradition would shape our public life.
Attentive Skepticism
Four claims, in particular, merit both attention and a good dose of skepticism:
(1) "There is little moral hazard in extracting stem cells from embryos that are going to be either destroyed or frozen indefinitely. Nothing is lost that would not be lost anyway, and something of enormous benefit may be gained."
Perhaps, just to help awaken us from our dogmatic slumbers, we may juxtapose this claim with a passage from Robert J. Lifton's The Nazi Doctors. Discussing the way in which doctors at Auschwitz were "hungry for surgical experience," he writes:
The context is different, but the form of reasoning should sound familiar, and this is morally hazardous company to keep. Christians—so attuned to the language of compassion that they may become deaf to other aspects of moral language—need regularly to remind themselves that "harm" is not the only important moral consideration. It is quite possible to "wrong" one whom we do not harm. With that in mind, perhaps we should be less hasty than the Century's editorial to assume that there is no "moral hazard" in using and destroying even "spare" embryos.
Why does the fact that these embryos are condemned (by our decision) to die make them available for our use? True, they are almost surely destined to die. What follows? Not that we should feel free to use them for our purposes, but, rather, that, as Hans Jonas once argued with respect to the terminally ill, we should spare them "the gratuitousness of service to an unrelated cause." It is one thing for us to acquiesce in the death of these embryos; it is quite another for us to embrace their death as our aim, to seize upon it as an advantageous opportunity to use them yet again for our purposes.
It is we, after all, who have condemned them to die. We cannot pretend that they simply are dying—as if that were just a natural fact, independent of our will and choice. First we decide that they are to die. Then we say that, since they're destined to die anyway, we may as well gain some benefit from their dying. Are we quite certain that such reasoning is entirely free of "moral hazard" or that this is the best wisdom we Christians have to offer our fellow citizens?
An Odd Place
(2) "[T]he president and his supporters have, perhaps unwittingly, called into question the practice of IVF."
And just why should it be the task of Christians to baptize the current practice of in vitro fertilization in this country? It is very strange that Christians should be exceedingly alert to the dangers of technological control and mastery in some realms of life, yet so uncritically approving here.
Why should we not raise questions about the routine production of more embryos than will be implanted, or about the selection of certain embryos (and selection against others) when deciding which to implant? Should Christians simply acquiesce in the view that reproduction is a private project aimed at producing a child "of one's own," and, increasingly, a child of a certain (desired) sort? One wonders what we will think, then, when we bring these children of "our own" for baptism and are asked to relinquish them.
(3) "Using embryos that were produced through IVF with the intent of creating new life, but which now are never going to be implanted in a womb, strikes us as a reasonable option for advancing knowledge of stem cells."
Perhaps, on the contrary, the fact that these are "spare" embryos remaining after infertility treatment may actually have quite different implications for the moral argument. These embryos have already been used once in the service of someone else's (reproductive) project. Perhaps even, let us hypothetically grant, they have been justly used in that project. At least it can be said that the IVF project uses embryos in ways that are oriented toward their natural end in reproduction.
But even granting the hypothesis that these embryos have been justly used in service of someone else's reproductive project—that is, in an attempt to satisfy the desires of others—is being used once not enough? Why, if they are no longer needed or wanted for reproductive purposes, should we suppose that they are still available for our use, still a handy resource for other purposes entirely unrelated to their well-being or their natural end?
(4) "Using embryos that were produced through IVF . . . , but which now are never going to be implanted in a womb, . . . is clearly preferable to one of the major alternatives at hand: creating embryos for the sole purpose of using them in research."
One must be very naive indeed—more naive than Christians ought to be—to suppose that these are, in our current policy debate, genuine "alternatives."
Using "spare" embryos is clearly nothing more than a first step. Should we approve that, we will soon be told that to advance still further requires that we create embryos for use in research. And anyone who has been paying any attention at all to the researchers will know that their preferred way of producing those embryos will be by cloning them—so as to produce precisely the disease models desired for study.
All in all, I am not inclined to say that "[t]he president has chosen an odd place to draw a line against stem cell research." I am far more inclined to say that the Century has chosen an odd place—indeed, an inherently unworkable and morally hazardous place—to stake a claim in favor of this research.

1994 Mercury Villager (3 Reviews)
If You go banking or MDonalds better park and walk it save gaskets and seals. If "check engine" turn on buy a injector cleaner also before inspections. After 100t miles start full sintetic and You will get 99t more on that motor easy. Change transm oil, termostat and coolant at 90t, brake pahts every 50t , new tires as needed and You will be a happy person w low taxes and nice rides. My have 148t and no problems. New RadioCD and front wipers motor. Will keep it to end. Better ride that my Toyota corolla. Thanks Mercury.
Bought it used. The detailer had steamed the engine so I had to put in a new Alternator. While I was doing the normal used car 'runs fine' stuff I changed the filter and fluid in the Transmission. New Battery, Alternator, Trans Filter and Gasket. Pulled the radiator and cleaned the bugs out. So far it's great. The 'check engine light' is annoying. They have it set to have you turn off the overdrive. Doesn't need it, downshifts just fine with no load on engine. Love it. Only complaint would be the middle seat comes out fine. Back seat slides up, but not out. Could use the floor space but it's ok. Don't worry about the check engine light. It seems to actually come on less if you just use the down shift in the trans and leave the button alone.
165,000 miles and still going despite some work, very reliable, recent needed work fuel pump.

GailPittman Beau Rivage Limited Edition MARDI GRAS ORNAMENTAnd now for something completely different than what I usually sell. The weird thing is I sold one of these ornaments last year and lo and behold, I found another one given to me as a gift. Yes, I am re-gifting this for profit. Let's hear it for the economy! Gail Pittman designed this ceramic ornament for the Beau Rivage casino. It measures 3 ¾" across by 3" tall. The tragedy/comedy theater masks are the theme, one in emerald green and the other in lavender. The back of the ornament is marked " Beau Rivage, Millennium Series, Limited Edition, Gail Pittman, February 2000 ." The ornament is in perfect condition. It has never been used. I know since I never used it. A silver ribbon is attached for hanging. The ornament comes in its original Beau Rivage box which is in great but not perfect condition: if you slant the top a certain way a few little scuffs on the lower box top are visible. If you look straight down at the box it looks fine. The Certificate of Authenticity is included. 1st Class Mail Shipping: $3.00 , well padded in a box.

By sheer obnoxiousness and dogged pertinacity (abetted by tolerant or actually sympathetic moderators), he has single-handedly done a great deal to change the tenor of a forum with 14,000 (or whatever) members...although not for the better, I fear. He doesn't even need to actually post anymore. He could just type "Standard Cruiser Post" because we all know precisely what he's going to say anyway.

Joanna Krupa in Her Chevy SSR at Pink Taco
If this chick has a problem getting laid she either:
1) Incredibly picky
2) A major bitch
3) Not interested in sex at all, but she's hot so she's expected to be sexual, so she's just saying what she thinks people want to hear.
Either way it's all bullshit. She could just pick any random asshole that catches her eye and she's guaranteed to get some dick. She's not trying hard enough.
"…but I'm a businesswoman. I can't give up and sacrifice my career, my future for a man…"
Could it be that therein lies the problem?
She's way too hot to be gay. Maybe that's her problem, being too dumb pretty that no guys ask her out because they think she has a boyfriend.

K so me and my boyfriend have an alright relationship. It'd be great except for we fight all the time! And it's mostly about me partying because there are other guys there and "he doesn't know what I'm doing and guys can't JUST be friends" even though I invite him and he never comes. And well yah, whenever we fight over the phone and I tell him that he is being ridiculous and I'm not trying to start anything. Well he always hangs up on me! And normally I call right back. And we work things out.
Well last night, I hadn't made any official plans to hang out with him but we had kind of talked about it. Well I ended up hanging out with one of my friends and her boyfriend. Well I call him when I get home and he was all pissy with me so I was like uhm would you have even wanted to hang out with me? And he tells me "stop nagging! " So I come back and say whatever I'm not even nagging
And he HANGS UP ON ME. Well I haven't called him back since last night and I'm not sure if I should or not.
I mean he's stubborn and I don't know if he will even if he wants too.
Please help :)

Sounds like you two have some issues you should resolve if you want to continue in the relationship. I don't know for sure, but it sounds like he might be insecure or have trust issues. If you can figure out how, reassure him that your guy friends are not a threat. Sure plenty of guys have one thing on their mind and would do it with whoever, including plenty of their "taken" friends. But that's not the point. So long as you aren't gonna cheat, there should be no problem. Unless you're only hanging out with other guys. Then I can see why he might be worried. Explain to him that you really enjoy hanging out at these parties and that he either needs to trust you or come with you. As for the fighting and hanging up, I can totally relate. I had a boyfriend who always hung up on me and I had to call him back or he ignored me for days. Eventually, I broke up with him because he acted so immaturely. I think you should call him up, tell him you both need to talk, and figure out if you two can stop fighting so much and come to an agreement on things. Otherwise, you'll both be frustrated with this relationship and it might end badly. Maybe you guys need some time off from each other. I don't know. But I'd say call him and settle things. It might not end up the way you think is perfect but I don't think that leaving it hanging does anyone any good.11|00|0
Yah I called him up and we worked things out, we went through pretty much everything bad in the relationship. We came to the conclusion that we were both on different levels (I wasn't taking everything as serious as him) but now I'm working to be at that level and to be there for him.
Thanks so much :)

Lord Nimmo Smith delivered his judgment in the long-running case of Margaret McTear v Imperial Tobacco Ltd this month. In the action for damages, McTear alleged that her husband's death from lung cancer had been caused by smoking Imperial's products. The 1,121-page judgment concluded that McTear failed on every issue she needed to establish to succeed in her action against Imperial.
Some of the press comment has focused on the difference in the resources available to the parties. Lord Nimmo Smith acknowledged that the pursuer's case would no doubt have been conducted differently had more resources been available. However, that is not to say that more resources would have resulted in a different outcome. The case faced fundamental difficulties which could not have been remedied by additional resources.
A key difficulty was the issue of individual responsibility and the fact that Alfred McTear smoked in the knowledge of the risks associated with doing so. McTear's own expert concluded that in 1964, when her husband started to smoke, he, like the rest of the general public, was aware of the "considerable publicity about the health consequences of smoking during the 1960s". In light of that fact alone, the pursuer's case had no prospect of success.
Imperial's defence included the argument that the fundamental policy of the law is to allow the individual the right of self-determination. Once aware of a risk they have a duty to consider their options and take responsibility for informed choices. This fundamental principle applies in other circumstances involving risk.
Lord Nimmo Smith accepted this argument. He concluded that "the policy of the law in a society such as ours seems to me to be entirely clear. Adults of full age and not suffering from legal incapacity are equal in the eyes of the law. They have equal rights and duties, freedoms and responsibilities. Each of them is presumed to be reasonable and to have the responsibility of making reasonable choices, not least on matters affecting his or her safety, health and welfare. This approach is fundamental to the workings of our society… There is no duty to save people from themselves. If they are, or may reasonably be supposed to be, in possession of information about harm which they may suffer if they choose to follow a particular course, the responsibility is theirs alone."
The duty of the manufacturer is therefore not, as argued by the pursuer, to cease manufacture of a product associated with risk, but rather to ensure that the consumer is able to make an informed choice about whether to consume the product.
Lord Nimmo Smith concluded: "[The] individual is well enough served if he is given such information as a normally intelligent person would include in his assessment of how he wishes to conduct his life, thus putting him in the position of making an informed choice".
The claim had many fundamental difficulties, but this alone was sufficient to prevent any prospect for McTear or other, similar claimants. That is recognised by McTear's solicitor's statement, which says the claims of others represented by him will not proceed.
The individualistic policy of the law in this case has implications beyond tobacco litigation. Others who may have feared consumer claims can take comfort from the conclusions on individual responsibility and from Lord Nimmo Smith's words: "It's not difficult today to find instances of people who, rather than blaming themselves for the consequences of their own decisions, seek to negate responsibility by claiming that a condition, such as obesity or addiction to a controlled drug, has just happened to them, independently of their own volition, or is someone else's fault… The law gives no countenance to such a tendency. The individualistic philosophy requires that individuals must live with the legal consequences of their own informed choices."

St. Louis, Missouri
The opposite side of Missouri favors grilled meats, lavished with a tomato-based, sticky-sweet barbecue sauce. The city's namesake dish, St. Louis–style ribs, are pork spareribs trimmed into neat, easy-to-eat rectangles. Another local specialty is the barbecued pork steak, a thick slice of shoulder meat that's seared and then slow-cooked in a tomato-vinegar sauce. Perhaps the oddest St. Louis BBQ dish is the crispy snoot, a deeply smoked pig snout that's either served as a starter or piled onto a sandwich. Family-run Roper's Ribs has been doling out slow-hickory-wood-smoked ribs, rib tips and crispy snoots since 1976; C&K, a perpetually crowded takeout joint, started serving pig ears and ribs doused in a thin, spicy sauce back in 1963.

Murphy's Late Homerun Not Enough For Pigs, Lose 2-1
IronPigs drop second straight despite Murphy's homerun and O'Sullivan's nice outing.
By Alec Scercy / Lehigh Valley IronPigs | May 6, 2014 10:30 PM ET
CHARLOTTE, NC - For the second consecutive night the IronPigs out hit their opponents, but lose a one-run game to the Charlotte Knights; this one by the score of 2-1.
Despite both being one-run Knights victories, the first two games of this series had little else in common, with Tuesday's game being a pitchers' duel that was won by RHP Tommy Hanson. The veteran - who has over four years of major league service time - threw six scoreless innings, allowing six hits while striking out five IronPigs.
The tough-luck loser of this duel was RHP Sean O'Sullivan, who turned in the best start of his IronPigs career. The native of San Diego spun seven splendid innings, allowing five hits and two runs, but only one earned run on a fourth-inning C Josh Phegley solo homerun. The unearned run came in the sixth inning when 2B Carlos Sanchez scored on a 3B Conor Gillaspie single that got past OF Leandro Castro who was playing center field in place of an injured Tyson Gillies and Clete Thomas who was out due to illness. The 9th-year veteran is now 1-3 on the season despite having a solid 3.86 ERA in six starts.
The Lehigh Valley offense was led by 1B Jim Murphy and OF Matt Tolbert, who each tallied three of the teams nine hits. The fourth homerun of the season for the first baseman was the only IronPigs score of the game, coming with two outs in the eighth inning off of Charlotte reliever RHP Taylor Thompson. The three-hit game was the second of the season for Murphy and his first since opening day.
Tolbert continues to produce for the Pigs, with his three-hit effort increasing his hit total to seven in his last four games. The 32-year-old now owns a .360 batting average in eight games since being called up from Double-A Reading.
LHP Cesar Jimenez came in to relieve O'Sullivan after the seventh inning and threw a scoreless eighth, allowing one hit and striking out one. The outing by the native of Venezuela extended his current scoreless streak to four and one-third innings; longest active streak on the team.
The IronPigs (15-16) are now 4-2 on this South Division road trip after two consecutive losses, but will send RHP Jonathan Pettibone to the mound to attempt to get back in the win column in a Wednesday morning game in Charlotte. The Knights (12-19) will send a young Californian of their own to the mound as RHP Erik Johnson will toe the rubber, making his second IL start of the season. Early first pitch is scheduled for 11:05 a.m. Wednesday for game three at BB&T BallPark.

"I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety." (Psalm 4:8)
Devon woke up with a start and sat up straight in his bed. His room was pitch black. In his mind, he could still see the dark forest and the mean-looking dogs that had been chasing him in his nightmare. He looked across the room toward the window. Were they out there, outside in the back yard? What if there really were mean, wild dogs out there waiting for him under his bedroom window?
He thought about calling for his mom to come in and sit with him. Or maybe he could catch Grandpa in the kitchen again, munching on a midnight snack. Maybe Grandpa would make him a jam sandwich and tell him stories about the Navy. Devon looked at the crack under the door. It was dark in the hallway, and he really did not want to go out there by himself. Deep down, Devon also knew that Mom needed to get up early for work in the morning. It would probably be better not to bother her. He lay back down and glanced toward the window again. Was that a twig snapping outside? Was something moving around in the bushes out there? Oh! What could he do?
Then Devon remembered that his Sunday school teacher had talked about different kinds of fear. Mr. Rooks was tall and had huge muscles, but even he admitted that sometimes he felt afraid of things. He shared with them a verse, something about trusting in God in the times he was afraid. It was hard for Devon to imagine someone as big and strong as Mr. Rooks being afraid of anything! But if Mr. Rooks found comfort and courage in trusting God, Devon thought, surely he could, too.
A light came on in the hallway, just then, and Devon could hear Grandpa's heavy footsteps on the stairwell. "Hmm. I think maybe I'll just talk to God about this nightmare tonight," he said to himself. And so he did.
Has your mind ever been so busy with worries and heavy thoughts that you cannot get to sleep at night? Have you ever been so afraid that you do not know what to do? Have you ever wondered if any fellow human being could really help you not be afraid? Devon had that problem, and you probably have felt that way, too. The Bible teaches that we can go to God when we are fearful. In fact, it teaches us that God is really the only One Who truly can help us deal with fear.
Psalm 4:8 says that the LORD is the only One Who can give true safety and protection. The LORD is the only all-powerful, all-knowing Being – and He loves His children! More than anyone else you know, God is worthy of your trust when you feel frightened. Talk to Him about your fears. Trust Him for comfort and courage.
God is the greatest Protector, worthy of trust when we feel afraid.
My Response:» Are there things that I am always feeling afraid about?» Do I go to God for comfort and courage, or do I trust in myself and other humans?» How can I show that I believe God is a great Protector?
A Faithful Witness Between Us
Jeremiah 42:5 "Then they said to Jeremiah, The LORD be a true and faithful witness between us, if we do not even according to all things for the which the LORD thy God shall send thee to us."
Yes, there are! Romans 11:5 – Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
Regeneration is a work of God which gives us a new spiritual life. Another term could be "being born again." God has given man a choice to choose a spiritual life. (John 12:13) "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God."

Sea bass with Walnut Puree & Pea Sprout Salad
Reviews(0) See all Reviews
Light and fresh this beautiful grilled sea bass is served atop toasted walnut puree.
For the Walnut Puree:
- 1 cup California walnut pieces, toasted
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus 1-2 tablespoons more, if needed
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
- Salt
- Freshly ground pepper
For the Fish:
- 2 whole white sea bass (or branzino*) scaled, cleaned and cut into fillets, 4 fillets total
- 2-3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Salt
- Freshly ground pepper
For Salad and Presentation:
- 4 large red radishes, sliced thin and kept in ice water
- 1 cup English pea sprouts, other microgreens may be substituted
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (from about half a lemon)
- Salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- To make the walnut puree, combine the walnuts and 1/4 cup of olive oil in a food processor fitted with the metal blade.
- Process for about 1 minute, or until smooth, stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides of the bowl. If necessary, with the machine running, add another tablespoon or two of oil; the mixture should have a sauce-like consistency, and not be too stiff.
- Scrape into a bowl and stir in the chives, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- To prepare the fish, rub your fingers over the surface of each fillet and, using pliers or tweezers, remove any small bones you detect.
- Rub the fish with the oil, and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Just before you cook the fish, place about 2 tablespoons of the walnut puree in the center of each of 4 dinner plates.
- Grill the fish 2-3 minutes on each side, until it is medium-rare. Alternately, the fish may be cooked on the stove top, over moderately high heat, in a skillet filmed with olive oil.
- Place a fish fillet on each plate, over the walnut puree.
- To make the salad, drain the radishes and combine with the English pea sprouts in a bowl.
- Toss with the olive oil and lemon juice; season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Divide the sprout salad among the plates, placing it on top of the fish. Serve while the fish is warm.
*Branzino is striped sea bass found in the Mediterranean.

About 25 per cent of the sales in the first stage of the $108 million development with city views were to first-home buyers.
The result for Galileo, a boutique operator with strong institutional links, follows on from its successful launch with the Industry Superannuation Property Trust of the $500 million Metro Residences joint venture in Sydney's north shore CBD of Chatswood.
Galileo senior vice-president
"Initially we regarded Brisbane as being out of the picture – we were more focused on Sydney – but the fundamentals around the site were very strong," Mr Marshall said.
Galileo acquired the development site in a deal with
The residential project comprises 191 apartments across two 12-storey buildings that cantilever over a large public arena with pool and entertainment areas.
"Arena is designed with an eye to cater to South Brisbane's growing office market and some of the 12,000 students studying in the South Brisbane and CBD catchment," he said.
While Brisbane's new apartment market is still slow, with more than a year's supply of apartments on the market – there is hope that demand is returning.
"Our strong sense is that there is a lot more confidence in the Brisbane market place than last year," Mr Marshall said.
"While the overall Brisbane apartment market has been a bit lacklustre, stage one of Arena effectively sold out at launch, with 81 out of 94 apartments snapped up," Mr Barratt said.
Prices range from $370,000 to $1.5 million for footprints of 59 square metres to 219 sq m plus large balconies.
Mr Barratt said that while the Arena project appealed to local owner occupiers, investors had also been attracted by South Brisbane's low 1.2 per cent vacancy rate in the rental market.
Investor Jessica Muggeridge, who bought a one-bedroom apartment for $430,000, said she was surprised by the number of people at the launch.
"I think confidence is coming back into the market," she said. "I was surprised by the people there and I think that helped us make our decision. I feel we probably made money."
