Kevin Sorbo slams media and Hollywood refusal to cover Gosnell story because of "political agenda"
Actor Kevin Sorbo has announced his support for the controversial new TV film on Philadelphia abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell who has been described as "America's greatest serial killer."
Sorbo - who is known for his role in the hit TV series Hercules and most recently the box office surprise of the year God's Not Dead - along with his actor wife Sam recorded a video announcing their support and urging the public to help fund the film through crowdfunding.
Gosnell is serving several life sentences for murdering babies born alive who he then stabbed in the neck "snipping" their spinal cord. He killed thousands of babies this way in a 30 year killing spree ABC's Terry Moran described Gosnell as "probably the most successful serial killer in the history of the world."
The producers are looking for $2.1m in what is a record breaking ask for crowdfunded movie. Already just after six days they have raised over $330,000 through the crowdfunding website Indiegogo (GosnellMovie.com).
VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9xMsKae10w
In the video posted on YouTube the Sorbos urged the public to support the project, read portions of the Grand Jury report detailing Gosnell's crimes and criticized the media and Hollywood for not covering the story properly because of "their political agenda."
"It's the crime of the century, but most of the media, and Hollywood, have ignored the story. This story has had almost no media coverage because the media are so agenda-driven they don't want to report on it.... No one wants to talk about it, because the details are too damaging to certain political agendas."
Sorbo's wife Sam - who looked visible moved as she read sections of the Grand Jury report on Gosnell's crimes - said that despite Americans' apparent fascination with serial killers Gosnell's name was not widely known.
"He has been virtually ignored, erased from history," she said.
Gosnell's case attracted huge controversy after an article by liberal journalist Kirsten Powers who accused the mainstream media of ignoring the trial because it clashed with their pro-choice views.
The launch of the video of support was first reported by Deadline Hollywood: http://www.deadline.com/2014/04/kermit-gosnell-tv-movie-kevin-sorbo/

Just going to softball it in like that?
Not one of your greatest posts DD.
He was baited by half the community into getting a ban. When a member is called names, slated to the point that when he retaliates back he's the one being punished something is very wrong. But I guess, you knew he was banned. #problemsolved
Chuck Norris?
I never knew he was banned.
Well there you go. You know now.
And the only reason why I responded was because of the previous "banned related thread" "where is <insert members name here>" when a banned members 13 years old or thereabouts got slated and associated with porn. Yeah it might sound funny but it's was just how pitiful some people are around here. http://xenforo.com/community/threads/matthew2d.33628/
Maybe you will see why these kind of topics are just a precursor for member bashing. Perhaps not.
God that picture, every time I see it I want to... lol

This review was conducted by the Fanon Review Squad and reflects our best judgment of writing and fanon authorship quality. Please don't take offense if the review wasn't positive. We always give advice!
Hello, this is BlackMonkey, signing in to review The Road that Never Ends by Krazykid51.
This story begins in 0 AG. It is about a boy named Mako taken from his homeland, the Fire Nation, by his brother, Lee. Lee believes that something horrible will soon occur, and by the hand of his own country. More and more colonies have been introduced to the Earth Kingdom, and Lee's father has told him that their nation will be making a devastating blow to the world sometime in autumn. His father neglected to say what that blow would be, but Lee could tell that all it would cause was destruction. Mako thinks that whatever the Fire Nation is up to, the only reason they're doing it is to "extend their good fortune to the world." For that reason, Lee kidnapped his brother to keep him away from Fire Lord propaganda, and to teach him the horrible effects of tyranny and war.
I'll admit it, the story had occasional errors, confusions, sometimes I didn't know what was happening at all, but overall, this was a really, really great story. It tells the effects, destruction, and corruption of war from the viewpoints of lovable, realistic characters, and from a beginning author, it was really well written. I liked it.
- Story - 8.9: Some chapters were confusing, others too short, but the general scheme of things really went well in a very creative plot that Krazykid seemed to master.
- Action - 9.0: There's not much in the beginning, but when things get rolling, It becomes pretty intense.
- Writing - 9.4: Wowzers. This would an amazingly written fanon even if it wasn't from a beginning author.
- Creativity - 9.1: There's some distant variations of this out there, but The Road that Never Ends is definitely the best of them.
- Believability - 8.8: Everything works out in the end, some speech is misplaced and some things happen too fast, but I definetly do not think it interfered with the other aspects of the fanon.
- Character Development - 9.5: Breathtaking. I probably would have given this an 8.5, but after reading Shared Thoughts, I really was impressed. The chapter itself was so confusing, but deep, it really elevated the story to another level.
Average Score: 9.1
Note: All scores are out of ten
Advice for Krazykid51: To tell you the truth, I don't have much advice for you. One thing is to make longer chapters, or at least make sure that every chapter has a little action in it. Think about how much gets covered in a single A:TLA episode. Other than that, just keep writing.
What kind of users should read The Road that Never Ends? Anyone who wants a complex tale that teaches the effects of warfare in a way like never before, using all new characters, should read this. Because they'll love it.

Jess of the dairy fields
By Jessica Miller. The illustration is by Becky Blake.
Published in January '13
Christmas is always special, but this one had been especially so. Having turned three in August, Lily was old enough to appreciate the unique magic of the occasion, and her excitement was infectious. The icing on the cake was my sister and her husband joining us for the festivities with Francesca, their three-month-old daughter, whom Lily had idolised since she saw a photo of her as a new-born baby.
We went to Wincanton Races on Boxing day. I lost all my money and Jasper won over £200. He's inherited his Mother's admirable knack for choosing winners. Socially, it was an unprecedentedly busy run up to New Year, and we spent little time at home. By the time New Year's Eve arrived, we were all feeling rather done in, including Lily who astonished us both by putting herself to bed at six in the evening.
Having relaxed in a hot scented bath, I put on my beautiful dove-grey silk nightie (my Christmas present from Jasper), and dished up two mugs of turkey soup, which we ate in the candlelit snug watching Downton Abbey, lulled by the cosy sound of crackling logs and soporific heat from the wood burner.
We were consequently fast asleep when the phone rang.
'Hello! Is that Mrs Miller?' barked a man's voice.
'Yes.' I yawned, groping for the light switch.
'Your ruddy cows have escaped. They're in our rose garden!'
I rubbed my eyes and looked at the clock. It was 11.59pm.
'Who is this?' I asked, suspecting a practical joke.
'It's Colonel Farqhuar from The Manor. You'd better get here sharpish or I'll blow them all to smithereens!'
I went cold. The Colonel was a lovely gentleman, but encroaching senility had triggered, as it were, a worrying preoccupation with guns and fire. He was no longer safe on the shooting field. Only the week before, Lady Farqhuar had been summoned to take him home as he started to mistake a hapless beater for game.
'I'm so sorry, we'll be there in five minutes. Please don't shoot them.' I gabbled, as I pulled on a pair of damp wellies onto my bare legs.
His reply was drowned out by the opening bars of Auld Lang Syne. A volley of deafening bangs went off in the background. In my state of somnolence, panic and confusion, it was impossible to tell over the phone whether it was fireworks or a shotgun I was hearing.
I started imagining headlines : 'Cowabanga', 'Beef and death from Colonel Blimp', 'Never say Heifer again', 'War hero makes mincemeat of cows', 'Crazy Farqhuar on rampage', 'Cowdunnit? Keen-as-mustard Colonel roasts beef in firefight'.
Snapping out of it, I shook Jasper awake and then made an SOS call next door to his mother for emergency baby-sitting.
She hurried over in her dressing gown to await our return.
'There's no time to waste,' Jasper said grimly, 'Let's go.
We jumped in the Land Rover and shot off down the lane to the Manor.
As we screeched to a halt at the end of the drive, the Colonel appeared from behind a gate post, swigging worryingly enthusiastically from a hip flask: 'You can't drive in. We've
got guests. The swines are causing havoc behind on our bowling green.'
'Where are the heifers?' asked Jasper.
'I meant the wretched heifers you ruddy buffoon!' screamed the Colonel.
I hitched up my night dress and set off towards the house. As I panted across the lawn, clutching a length of blue poly pipe (for animal herding not fashion purposes), I was acutely aware of a sea of faces peering at me through the drawing room windows. I skidded wildly on the slippery grass and a muffled cheer arose from within the house.
The heifers were waiting by a gate onto the lane. Within five minutes they were back in their paddock and we were trudging wearily back to The Manor.
Lady Farqhuar intercepted us as we skulked past. She insisted on our coming in 'to toast the New Year'. Our horrified protests fell on deaf ears.
'Don't worry,' Jasper whispered soothingly as I buttoned up my old mucking out cardigan,' it'll just be a quick glass with the oldies'.
We were ushered into the house, then thrust into the drawing room to be greeted by the sight of at least 30 guests… who all did a double-take, then turned properly to stare at us, as we walked in. I felt as though we had blundered onto the set of an Armani advertising video shoot; they were all impossibly glamorous and none of them was a day over 25.
'We thought we'd let Tarquin invite some friends for a party at home this year,' tinkled Lady Farqhuar, gesturing towards a devastatingly handsome young man who promptly offered us champagne.
'How lovely.' I croaked, taking a mortified swig.
'Is that,' asked a stunning blonde girl in a Little Black Dress, 'a nightie that you're wearing?'. She seemed genuinely fascinated.
'They're a different breed, farmers and their wives!' barked the Colonel, offering Jasper a celebratory cigar.
'It's just like an episode of that TV show,' said one of the beautiful things.
'Oh yes,' piped up a Kate Moss lookalike: 'Farmers in pyjamas!'
'Oh God,' I thought to myself as the laughter echoed endlessly round the room. 'Happy New Year.'

Thirty-two teams, 32 burning fantasy questions. Throughout the preseason, we put one of these questions to an ESPN.com analyst for an in-depth look at the most interesting, perplexing or dumbfounding fantasy facet of each NFL team. Be sure to check out all 32 questions.
How do Drew Bennett and Randy McMichael figure in the Rams' high-powered attack, and will they be fantasy starters this year?
Every summer, it seems to me like Drew Bennett should be a better player than he is. The former quarterback from UCLA is 6-foot-5, more than 200 pounds, runs very well and looks the part of a powerful downfield receiver. But he's not. Let me just say: Bennett has bad hands. He logged five official drops for Tennessee last year, but I promise you, Vince Young believes Bennett could've caught more balls than he actually did. For the season, Bennett caught 46 of 98 targets, just 46.9 percent, which is dreadful. (Bobby Wade, Young's second-most-productive wideout in 2006, caught 56.9 percent.) Bennett had four games where he caught zero passes, and this was on a team with not much else at his position. Can you lay some of that at the feet of Young? Maybe. But Bennett was having hands problems with Steve McNair (remember that terrible drop against the Patriots in a 2003 divisional playoff game?) when Young was swaddled in burnt orange.
Add to this equation the presence of Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce (still), and Bennett is the slot guy in a high-octane Rams offense, which also has to get passes (and lots and lots of handoffs) to Steven Jackson. Bennett will be useful in the red zone, and Scott Linehan loves to throw in close. In '06, Marc Bulger had 18 touchdown passes inside the 10-yard-line, tied with Peyton Manning for most in the NFL. At age 73 (okay, he's 34), Bruce can still burn, as he proved grabbing 74 and 68 passes the past two years, but he's not any sort of red-zone threat. Bennett's got the big body and should line up in the right place (i.e., close to the middle of the field) to lure some short scoring targets. (Whether he'll actually catch them is anyone's guess.) But there's no way you should take Bennett to be a fantasy starter on your team, because receivers who rely mostly on short touchdowns for their value are too up-and-down. Because he'll be in the slot and because Bulger still has Holt and Bruce, I think long scores will be few and far between for Bennett.
And if the third wideout is going to struggle to see consistent looks, the Rams' new tight end, Randy McMichael, should also suffer through some droughts: He's the fifth option in an offense that has ignored the tight end for years. McMike looks like a stud tight end, and he sure makes a lot of noise about wanting to play the role of a stud tight end, but a whole bunch of fantasy teams have been burned by his unfulfilled promise. He hasn't had a 100-yard receiving day since Week 7 of 2003, and if you take away the first four games of '05 (he scored in each of those, setting up a career's worth of unreasonable expectations), he's got 14 touchdowns in 76 games. Yes, he grabbed 62 passes last year (on 96 targets), but he scored just three times, and parlayed the seventh-most catches by a tight end into the 11th-most fantasy points by a tight end, or barely more than half Antonio Gates' total. In this offense, with all these weapons, I don't see McMike getting anything close to 96 targets again (six a game? don't see it), even if Linehan was his offensive coordinator in Miami. He'll have his useful weeks, and he should play most of the time over Joe Klopfenstein. I've got McMichael bunched up with guys like Heath Miller, Owen Daniels and Desmond Clark just on the borderline of starting in a 12-team league. If you just have to own a piece of what should be an impressive Rams attack, and you do take McMike, you'll want to get a pretty good backup, just in case he winds up more decoy than darling.
Don't get me wrong: I think Bulger is a very good fantasy draft pick in 2007, Holt continues to be a top-five receiver, and Jackson is the No. 2 player on my entire board. But I can't get excited about either Bennett or McMichael as a solid fantasy starter.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) There is not one orphan among the 33 children that a U.S. Baptist group tried to take from Haiti in a do-it-yourself rescue mission following a devastating earthquake, the Associated Press has determined.
In a visit Saturday to the rubble-riddled Citron slum where 13 of the children lived, parents who gave their children away confirmed that each one of the youngsters had living parents.
Their testimony echoed that of parents in the mountain town of Callabas, outside the capital of Port-au-Prince, who told the AP on Feb. 3 that desperation and blind faith led them to hand over 20 children to the religious Americans who promised them a better life.
Now the Citron parents worry they may never see their children again.
MISSIONARIES FREED: Back in U.S. from Haiti
One mother who gave up all four of her children, including a 3-month-old, is locked in a trance-like state but sometimes erupts into fits of hysteria.
She and other parents said they relinquished their children to the U.S. missionaries because they were promised safekeeping across the border in a newly established orphanage in the Dominican Republic.
Their stories contradict the missionaries' still-jailed leader, Laura Silsby, who told the AP the day after her arrest that the children were either orphans or came from distant relatives.
"She should have told the truth," said Jean Alex Viellard, a 25-year-old law student from Citron who otherwise expressed admiration for the missionaries.
He took them cookies, candies and oranges during their nearly three weeks of detention before eight of the 10 were released Wednesday on their own recognizance and flew home to the United States.
Silsby, who has told the AP she is 47 although other sources give her age as 40, and her assistant, Charisa Coulter, 24, remain jailed as the investigating judge interviews officials at the orphanages the two visited prior to the devastating Jan. 12 quake. They are set to appear in court again Tuesday.
ANNIVERSARY: Haiti holds day of mourning
FULL COVERAGE: Earthquake in Haiti
As they left the jail and boarded a U.S. Embassy van, the freed Baptists waved and thanked Viellard, who later called them "great people who were doing good for Haiti."
The Americans, most from an Idaho church group, were charged with child kidnapping for trying to remove the children without the proper documents to the neighboring Dominican Republic in the post-quake chaos.
Silsby had been working since last summer to create an orphanage. After the quake, she hastily organized a self-styled "rescue mission," enlisting missionaries from Idaho, Texas and Kansas.
She was led to Citron by Pastor Jean Sainvil, an Atlanta, Georgia-based Haitian minister who recruited the 13 children in the slum. Sainvil had been a frequent visitor to the neighborhood of unpaved streets and simple cement homes even before more than half of the houses collapsed in the quake.
"The pastor said that with all the bodies decomposing in the rubble there were going to be epidemics, and the kids were going to get sick," said Regilus Chesnel, a 39-year-old stone mason.
Chesnel's wife, 33-year-old Bertho Magonie, said her husband persuaded her to give away their children — ages 12, 7, 3, and 1 — and a 10-year-old nephew living with them because their house had collapsed and the kids were sick.
"They were vomiting. They had fevers, diarrhea and headaches," she said, leaning against the wall of the grimy two-room hovel the couple shares.
In a telephone interview from the United States on Saturday, Sainvil confirmed the Chesnels' story. He said a collapsed building adjacent to where the children lived held six or seven corpses.
He said he first met Silsby on Jan. 27 in the town of Ouanaminthe on the Haiti-Dominican border and agreed to help her collect children for a 150-bed orphanage the Americans were establishing near the beach resort of Cabarete in the Dominican Republic.
Sainvil, a former orphan who says his nondenominational Haiti Sharing Jesus Ministry has 25 churches in the countryside, said the two agreed to meet again in Port-au-Prince on Feb. 13 to get more children.
The day after he met Silsby, Sainvil collected the 13 children from Citron. A day after that, the missionaries' bus was halted at the Dominican border and they were arrested. Sainvil, meanwhile, became sick with vomiting and diarrhea and decided to fly back to the U.S. on a military transport plane, he said.
He denied leaving out of fear he might be arrested.
"I wasn't doing anything wrong," he said.
Sainvil said what Silsby was doing did not constitute adoption "because the parents had the right to go visit their children or take them back when their situation changed."
The pastor said his deeds are often misunderstood by people in the developed worked who don't realize that more than half of the 380,000 children in Haiti's orphanages are not orphans. Many have parents who — even before the quake — were simply unable to care for them.
The problem is that some of the "orphans" end up as sex slaves or are given jobs doing housework in exchange for food and shelter — and sometimes school. It is precisely because of that problem that, after the quake, Haiti's government banned all adoptions except those approved before the disaster.
Sainvil said he went to Citron for children because he knew people there were desperate: He had been sleeping under tarps with them. Food was barely trickling in, medical care was just becoming available and hundreds of decomposing bodies were buried beneath the neighborhood's collapsed homes.
Under one of the blue tarps sheltering the Chesnels' homeless neighbors, 27-year-old Maletid Desilien lay Saturday on a bed of two soiled rugs. Only her eyes peered out from under a bedsheet.
"She has been like that ever since someone told her she will never get the kids back," said her husband, Dieulifanne Desilien, who works in a T-shirt factory.
That was eight days ago. Most of the time she lies catatonic, he said, warning a reporter not to go near because she periodically has fits.
"She would get up, take her clothes off and run around pulling her hair out," Desilien, 40, said of his wife. "She would jump up from sleep and say, 'Bring me my kids."'
He said she only calms down and is able to sleep after speaking by phone with her children, who are at an orphanage in the capital run by the Austrian-based SOS Children's Villages charity.
The day they arrived, orphanage officials said, the Desiliens' 3-month-old daughter, Koestey, was so dehydrated she had to be hospitalized. The other children are ages 7, 6 and 4. Their father — but not their mother — has visited them.
Desilien said a police commander has assured him that he will get the children back. The Social Welfare ministry, however, has yet to decide whether some or all of the 33 children will be returned to their parents.
"My wife is sick so I have to find a way to get the children back," Seselien said.

Bird Island and Endless Flat Water in the Dominican
Thanks to funtrips-dr.com for this amazing kiteboarding experience and oliviermoro.com for the professional kiteboarding photos.
I had my eye on the "7 Hermanos" Islands for some time after browsing the entire north coast of the Dominican for kiteboarding beaches using Google Earth. I had no idea if anyone had kiteboarded there before, or how to get a boat. When I ran into Jonathan one night in Cabarete and he told me about the trip I was sold instantly. I got my gear together and left the day after I booked the trip through Oliver.
This proved to be the best kiteboarding experience of my life. We went to the best kiteboarding spots in the Dominican with perfect wind conditions and a great group of people. These guides have done a ton of exploring the entire coast for the ideal spots and it shows. It was 3 days of endless flat water, a great break from the crowds and chop of Cabarete. The professional photos was the cherry of it, everyone walked away with professional kiteboarding photos from the most scenic places in the country.
Day 1:
An early morning pickup at my apartment. There were 2 other guests waiting there as well. We loaded a truck and went to meet the other guests and guides at the "GuaGua" a dominican van. We loaded up the van and were off. It was still early so I just zoned out to some music for the drive. We would get some odd looks from people on the road from all the kiteboard and windsurf gear strapped to the roof, not to typical for the GuaGua. An easy drive to Monte Cristi, much less stressful than the time I had rented a car and made the drive myself.
We met up with the boat and guides and set off to the islands. 40 min later we arrived to the most beautiful place I've seen in the dominican. The water was crystal blue, clear and white sand beaches. We quickly unloaded the boat and wasted no time to start kitting. The water was glass with sandy bottom, perfect kitting conditions. We had a photo session then kitted around the islands, going to 3 of them.
We were spent from kitting all day and the boat guides came in with the catch of the day. The fish was amazing and we were ready for a sunset session. I was way overpowered on my 9, so it was just survival kiteboarding at this point, others we able to take full advantage of it though.
Had an amazing dinner and polished off a few bottles of rum and time for sleep. I opted to sleep on a mat on the beach over the tents, it was great under the stars and the fire still going on the beach. The novelty quickly wore off and it was difficult to get sleep. Between the 30 knot wind, birds chirping and the heat I dodn't sleep to well. Still an amazing experience though.
Day 2:
The next morning we loaded up the boat, then the van and set off to Playa Buen Hombre. This town is great, a small beach town with a single hotel. We checked into the hotel and had a great lunch. Everyone chilled out for a while waiting for the tide to rise for better conditions and checked out the photos from the day before.
You can kite at low tide, but the best flat water is at high tide. Another day of flat water and reef break to boost from. Had a photo session and came away with more professional kiteboarding photos.
Dinner at the hotel and we went to the beach for a beer with the locals and off to bed.
We set up our gear for a boat launch, rolling the lines into the kite, loaded up the boat and went to Paradise Island. The is a small island sandbar with the best snorkeling I've seen in the dominican. Fishing must not be allowed here because there were thousands of fish in the coral. I don't think you are allowed to kite at this island either, and even if it was allowed there are way to many people to be able to launch your kite. Once the wind picked up we hopped in the boat and went to the launch.
At this launch the coast is all mangroves so there's no beach to launch from. It's shallow and sandy enough to stand and launch from the boat. This was no problem and you could tell the guides have done this many times. Another photo session by the boat and we set off for our downwinder.
This was the best kiteboarding of my life. The islands were the hightlight of the trip because of the uniqueness, but this was the best kiteboarding conditions. 9 km of flatwater and small waves in the reef to boost from and no other kitters. We ended up back in Buen Hombre at the end of the downwinder. Got a much needed Cerveza Presidente and set off back to Cabarete. Everyone was exhausted from 3 days of endless kiteboarding in strong wind, it was a quiet ride home. The trip went perfect and I'd go again in an instant.

I'm going to be in Providence this weekend with my brother Lurker W. Our eating itinerary is pretty full but we need a good place for Friday night. I'd pencil in La Laiterie but some of the recent reports have been less enthusiastic than earlier reports. Should we still give it a try?
If not, is Red Stripe a good alternative? We are big mussels fans.
Finally, where is a good East Side bagel source now that Barney's is gone?

I'll start with the punch line: I intend to stay at the Dylan in Amsterdam again.
My room was terrific. Each room in this historic property is unique and quite large by Amsterdam standards. The common areas are very hip, however the gym is - frankly - a joke. But, there is a gym close to the hotel and most folks don't pick places in Amsterdam for the fitness facilities.
There is much about the hotel that I did not experience (lounge, dining, room service) so I'll write a more comprehensive review later. I normally stay at the Pulitzer hotel so my quick review is this: If you like the Pulitzer, give the Dylan a try (a more stylish, hip version).
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- This boutique hotel along the Keizersgracht canal is situated in the heart of Amsterdam. The Dam Square is a short walk away. The Dylan offers rooms and suites with special themes. All have luxurious bathrooms, a bathrobe and slippers. There is free Wi-Fi. ... more less
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Hotels.com, Orbitz, Expedia, Booking.com, Travelocity, Agoda, Priceline, Hotwire, Cheap Tickets, getaroom.com, Cancelon, TripOnline SA and HotelQuickly so you can book your The Dylan reservations with confidence.

Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Aricha Washed
The Captain's Coffee
65 In stock
Green Coffee
The Captain's Coffee
A washed Yirgacheffe with surprising body and sweetness. This stellar coffee is refreshing and balanced with notes of pear, mild lemon and lavender.
Arrival Date: June 16th, 2017
Acidity & Brightness: Moderate acidity, mellow and sweet
Balance & Finish: Good balance and clean finish
Body & Texture: Medium bodied, smooth
Flavors: Pear, mild lemon and lavender
Grade: Grade 1 (Highest grade of washed Ethiopian coffee)
Processing: Full Washed, hand-picked, sun dried
Varietals: Heirloom
Roasting: Start at City + (light-medium) and go a bit darker as desired. We find it best not to go any darker than Full City (Medium) and in fact you could go as light as city (light) to bring out more acidity and brightness.
Reminder! This coffee is raw and must be roasted before brewing
Our Review: If you've been shopping with The Captain's Coffee for a while, you know what huge fans we are of natural processed Ethiopian coffees. In fact, we sometimes find ourselves sheepishly thinking, "huh, we haven't had a washed Ethiopian coffee is a long time." Yet somehow, every time we cup the washed Ethiopian, we're surprised at what we've been missing!
Yirgacheffe is one of the most well known coffee producing regions of Ethiopia and for good reason. We've consistently had incredible coffee from Yirgacheffe over the years, whether it be natural processed or washed, so when it came to selecting a washed coffee, we knew just where to look. We wanted something distinctive and representative of this renowned region, but something unique enough to stand on its own. Washed coffees from Yirgacheffe tend to be mild, delicate, subtle and floral with an almost tea-like body. This Aricha carries the best of those characteristics, but with much more body and less subtlety than we anticipated! It's got a wonderful, full mouthfeel and the sweet flavors of pear and lavender shine through much more fully than we expected. If you've avoided washed Ethiopian coffees in the past because they were too subtle and delicate for you, give this one a try and see what you've been missing!
Returns Policy
If you are unsatisfied with your green coffee purchase, we will issue you a refund in the form of an in-store credit. Since coffee is a food item, we can't take it back once it leaves our control.

I recently installed a fresh version of BETA VI (Version 5.0.56140) and them imported my data and all is functionally well. I did notice in the Inventory: People View under the Tickets history that the "Closed" tickets are showing up as closed < 1 day ago but if you look at the tickets themselves the close days are correct.
Attached is the single ticket view and the Inventory People view combined. You can see the People view show closed < 1 day ago but the ticket view shows closed 23 days ago.
As I noted this was a fresh install not an upgrade and I have no addins installed.

How to Choose the Perfect Plus Size Evening Gowns
One day you'll be invited to a black-tie event and feel like you have nothing to wear. As a plus-size woman, this always seems to be the case, doesn't it? We feel like we don't have many fashion options. I'm here to tell you that's not true. We have a pretty good selection of plus-size evening gowns out there! You just know what you have and what suits you!
Shopping for evening wear is easier with the following tips.
- The A Line
If you need to emphasize your waist, an A Line gown is your best choice. While the gown is fitted around the waist, it flares out waist downwards. This concentrates the attention on your waist, creating the illusion of your waist
- The Princess Cut
The Princess cut dress is a dramatized version of the A-line. The dress is created using vertical panels that run from the neckline down to the waist or sometimes the hem line. These panels work well by elongating your silhouette and ultimately slimming it because the focus is shifted to the lines created by the seams.
- The Empire Cut
The Empire Cut dress has a high waistline that sits just below the bust. This is great for ladies with both big and small busts. For a smaller bust, it attracts attention to the neckline and if you add further embellishments like beadwork or full sleeves, it will work wonders. For a larger bust, it helps to conceal and the square neckline will work perfectly.
- The Mermaid Cut
The Mermaid Cut dress is very well fitted from the chest to the knee and then flares out, sort of like a mermaid's tail. This is the perfect cut for you if you love to show off your curves. Carry off the mermaid cut with a confident posture and you're all set.
- The Sheath or the Column Cut
This silhouette pretty much flows from the neckline to the hemline in a straight column, hence the name. This is perfect for you if you're shorter as the silhouette has an elongating effect.
- If you don't want to show your arms, use a wrap or a bolero jacket that goes with your dress.
- Try it on and see how it looks on you. Don't just buy something because it looks good on the rack.
- Learn about fabrics because each fabric can create a different look and can also end up making a dress fit you differently.
- If you don't like what's on the racks, hire a seamstress and get a dress tailored to perfection.
So there you go, hopefully these tips will make it easier for you to choose formal evening wear that's right for you.

Five-Point Inspection: 1997 Toyota Prius
3. On Road Performance
Test driving this automotive milestone was a surprising experience, but not for the reasons you might think. You're probably expecting me to unleash a fusillade of complaints directed at the poor car's driving dynamics, but I'm sorry my friend, you're sadly mistaken.
What was remarkable about this 16-year-old vehicle was just how similar it felt to a brand-new Prius. Sure, it was a little slower, slightly noisier and not quite as refined as a showroom fresh 2013 version, but other than these minor differences it drove almost exactly the same. The engine smoothly cycled on and off as necessary and you could feel the electric motor deliver an extra boost when heavy acceleration was required. Toyota got the drivetrain right back in 1997 and they've been improving it ever since.

Urinary Symptoms in Dogs
Most urinary tract disorders cause some disturbance in the normal pattern of voiding. There are a number of signs to look for.
Dysuria (Painful Urination)
Signs of dysuria are obvious distress during urination with straining, dribbling, licking at the penis or vulva, crying out in pain, voiding frequently in small amounts, squatting but not passing urine after many tries, and/or passing mucus, blood clots, or bloody urine. These signs indicate a disorder of the bladder, urethra, or prostate.
Pain and swelling in the lower abdomen suggest an overdistended bladder. A dog who does not pass urine after prolonged squatting or lifting of the leg is obstructed. This is usually caused by a stone, but could also be due to a tumor obstructing the urine flow.
Hematuria (Blood in the Urine)
Blood in the first portion of urine that clears with voiding indicates a problem in the urethra, penis, prostate, uterus, or vagina. Blood that appears at the end of voiding suggests a disease of the bladder or prostate. A uniformly bloody urine is seen with diseases of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder.
Bleeding without pain suggests kidney disease. Vaginal bleeding may give a false impression of hematuria. Microscopic hematuria means finding red blood cells on microscopic examination of urine that appears normal to the naked eye.
Polyuria (Excessive Urination)
Frequently passing large volumes of urine suggests kidney disease. The dog compensates by drinking large amounts of water. You may notice the increased thirst (polydipsia) first.
Other common causes of polyuria include diabetes mellitus, Cushing's syndrome, a pituitary tumor, hyperparathyroidism, and some types of poisoning. Polyuria should be distinguished from dysuria and urinary incontinence.

Xiaomi Mi Mix also replaces the traditional infrared sensor with untrasounic sensor so that there is no need to get a hole on forefront.
It has a 6.4″ screen, powering Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 CPU coupled with 4GB/6GB Ram and 128GB/256GB Rom. The front camera is 5MP while the rear one is 16MP. A big battery of 4400mAh will provide long battery life. More importantly, it also carries a rear fingerprint reader.

Rumors said less than 20% are successfully manufactured and pass the strict quality test and then can get on sale.
So if you are really interested in Xiaomi Mi Mix and have chance to get a hold of Xiaomi Mi Mix from GearBest, cherish it and don't miss it out.

What started out 43 years ago as a going-away bash thrown by six gay men has grown into New Orleans' third-largest festival after Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest, said Chuck Robinson, owner of Napoleon's Itch.
Last year, Southern Decadence drew 160,000 gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and straight participants from all over the world for an outrageous, five-day party where "nothing's a sin unless it's not fun," Robinson said.
"Under the Big Top: Welcome to the Gayest Show on Earth," Southern Decadence 2014, takes place in the French Quarter over Labor Day weekend, from Wednesday, Aug. 27, through Monday, Sept. 1.
Fifteen gay bars will participate with Bourbon Pub as its "epicenter," Robinson said.
And because gay bars never close, the fun goes on around the clock.
Robinson produces and funds one of Southern Decadence's most popular events, the 10th annual Bourbon Street Extravaganza, a free, 3½-hour concert, starting at 5 p.m. on Saturday night on a stage erected at the corner of Bourbon and St. Ann Streets.
This year's performers include Sandy Anderson, a Dolly Parton impersonator; country singer and actor Waylon Payne; singer Jeanie Tracy; and Inaya Day.
"To see all these divas and famous people, you would otherwise have to pay $50," he said.
Although weekend passes guarantee admission to dance parties and shows at the Bourbon Pub and Parade, the Bourbon Street Extravaganza is free and open to the public.
"People come from all over the world. Where they live, they don't see the costuming, the free style of life. After they see it, they move here," Robinson said.
Gay mystery novelist Greg Herren started coming to Southern Decadence long before moving to New Orleans.
"It was fun to be in a sea of gay men," he recalled.
There used to be many more gay festivals. Many have disappeared, but Southern Decadence continues to rage on, he said.
"Southern Decadence always drew so many people from small towns who wanted to have a big blowout once a year," Herren said.
After a decade hosting the Bourbon Street Extravaganza, music producer Robinson said his biggest thrill was being onstage with Jeanie Tracy holding his hand and serenading him with Whitney Houston's "The Greatest Love." Thousands in the audience joined in.

Author | exchange4media Mumbai Bureau | Tuesday, Oct 30,2007 7:58 AM
Jury members for D&AD Awards 2008 have been announced. Graphic design will once again be split into three juries, to be headed by Tony Brook of Spin, Aziz Kami of Kantar Group, and Adrian Shaughnessy of ShaughnessyWorks.
Other juries announced include book designer Irma Boom for Book Design category, Michael Johnson of Johnson Banks for Graphic Design 2, Terry Jones of i-D Magazine for Magazine and Newspaper Design, Phil Carter of Carter Tomlin Wong for Packaging Design, Vince Frost of Frost Design for Typography, and Howard Fletcher for Design Writings.
Tony Brook, Creative Director, Spin, said, "Having been asked by D&AD to be a foreman in the Graphic Design section of this year's awards mingles my excitement with a sense of responsibility. Sitting in judgment of so many hopes is heavy stuff. Like a cub scout, I promise to do my best."
Other juries will be announced in the coming days. The deadline for entries is January 16, 2008, and entries before November 14, 2007 will receive a 10 per cent discount.
Book Designer Imra Boom said, "It is important to experiment and not be afraid to create utter failures sometimes. There is a lot to explore in a technical way and even more importantly, in terms of content and form."
Phil Carter, Creative Director, Carter Tomlin Wong, said, "Being asked to be the foreman of the Packaging Design jury is a huge honour but also a privileged opportunity to gain an insight into the best packaging design from around the world. I hope to see work that challenges, surprises, enthralls, excites, jumps out from the norm, beautifully crafted and original – wherever it originated from. In fact, work worthy of getting into 'the book' and maybe winning a Pencil on the night."
Aziz Cami, Creative Director, Kantar Group, said, "I've been entering works into the D&AD Awards for more than 25 years. In all that time, designers have always said the same two things: 'The Awards are too expensive', and 'How the hell did that get in?'. When you see the quality and scale of the fabulous educational work D&AD does, you realise this is money well spent. If you only enter one award scheme this year, then D&AD has to be 'the one'. As far as what wins and what doesn't, no judging process is perfect, but D&AD is more perfect than any other scheme I have ever come across."

The Temple of Athena Nike is situated to the right side of the Propylaia (the gate and entrance to the Acropolis) just outside of the main sanctuary and buildings of the Acropolis. Although the Temple of Nike is not in the main complex of the Acropolis, it does have a prominent position on a tall bastion overlooking everything below the Acropolis.
The Temple was built for the worship of the goddess and patron god of Athens (originally known as The Temple of Athena Nike), Athena goddess of victory and wisdom, in hope of victory against the Spartans during the Peloponnese War.
The Temple of Nike that stands on the Acropolis today (although it has been restored 3 times) was built between 421 and 415 BC during a pause in fighting during the Peloponnesian war called the Peace of Nicias. The tall bastion that the temple sits on is actually the remains of the very ancient Mycenaen walls and sits on the site of an even older temple dedicated to Athena that was destroyed by the Persians during the Persian wars in 480 BC. Archaeologists have found offerings of figurines of the gods and deites that were worshiped here dating back to the bronze age.
The Temple was built during the Periklean building plan which included other famous buildings on the Acropolis such as the Parthenon, the Erechtheum and Porch of Caryatids, the design was by the famous architect, Kallikrates. The Temple of Nike was built to house the statue of Athena Nike and give the city of Athens victory over Sparta and her allies.
The Temple was actually built in stages when funds would allow due to the ongoing war. The fact that the Temple of Nike was built outside of the main sanctuary of the Acropolis on a high bastion meant it was easy to worship for the average Athenian as it could easily be seen without entering the sanctuary.
After the Temple was completed probably around 410 BC a parapet was added to the bastion to prevent people from falling off whilst worshiping. As with all the buildings on the Acropolis the Temple of Nike has suffered thousands of years of war, looting and earthquakes, and yet survived intact until 1686 when the temple was destroyed by the Turks who used the stones as defences against the besieging Venetians. Luckily the stones weren't lost and the temple has been rebuilt and restored 3 times the latest being in the 2000's.
A statue of Athena Nike was kept in the Temple of Nike, according to ancient sources the statue was made of wood with a helmet in one hand and a pomegranate in the other. In later years the Athenians named the statue Nike Apteros, which means wing-less victory. The reason for this is that normally Nike was portrayed to have wings, but the legend in Athens was that the statue was deprived of wings so that she co
uld never leave the city.
The Temple of Nike was the first building on the Acropolis to use the Ionic design, it is colonnaded both at the front and rear with four columns either end forming a portico. The ratio of the columns height to diameter is 7:1 making it more elegant than the usual 9:1 ratio.
Due to restoration the temple is mostly intact except for the roof, the original friezes are now in the Acropolis museum and some in the British museum and have been replaced with copies. The north frieze shows a battle seen with cavalry, the south side depicts the battle of Plataia , the east side portrays some of the gods including Zeus and Poseidon.

CRS Script: AutoAttendant option overlapping with internal extension
I'm trying to have an AA.aef script with five options, you know something like: press 1 for Marketing, press 2 for Management, ....and press 5 for Customer Service. The problem is that the internal phone extensions start with 5xxx. Is there a way to have the fifth option on the aa menu and also allow the caller to dial the extensions directly?
