text: USA Today reports that Senator Specter is undecided, and torn, on whether to vote in favor of Judge Alito's confirmation to the Supreme Court. On the one hand, Specter wants to support his party and boost an esteemed judge from his local circuit. On the other, Alito has expressed disagreement with Roe v. Wade. Specter's approach thus far has been to defend Alito from some unwarranted attacks, while also promising to grill him in the January hearings. Specter also refuses to predict the outcome, saying "I wouldn't count any votes."

PHILADELPHIA Six members of the University of Pennsylvania men's track and field team earned First-Team Outdoor All-Ivy honors, along with two second-team honorees for their performances at the 2009 Outdoor Heptagonal Championships at Franklin Field May 9-10. Only one other team had more first-team members than the Quakers.
Senior Joey Brown garnered both first and second team honors with a first-place finish as a part of Penn's winning 400-meter relay team and with a second-place showing in the 100 meters. Seniors Kevin Benjamin, Kevin Baidoo, and Max Westman, and sophomores Darryll Oliver and Alan Hill all joined Brown on the 2009 outdoor first team. Junior pole vaulter Anthony Abitante earned second team merits.
Benjamin, Brown, Hill and Baidoo all earned the first team distinction for their winning lap in the 400-meter relay. It took the eighth-best time in school history (40.83) to claim the Heptagonal Championship, but the Quakers earned a trip to the NCAA Regionals with the program's second win in three years in the event.
Westman capped a successful Heptagonal weekend when he clinched the decathlon late Sunday afternoon. Westman won five of the ten events, totaling 7,128 points which was the third-highest point total ever achieved at the Heptagonal Championships.
Oliver continued Penn's string of impressive Heptagonal performances. He broke his career-best on two occasions in the 800 meters en route to winning the event by 19-hundreths of a second.
Abitante's distinction came after he finished one centimeter shy of setting a new career mark in his second-place finish. He was also just short of clearing the bar at 5.20 meters the eventual winning height which would have also been the first time in his collegiate career that he surpassed the 17-feet.
The Penn men finished third at the 2009 Outdoor Heptagonals the team's highest finish since placing in a tie for second in 2005. The team's six Heptagonal champions were the most for the Quakers since that same number accomplished the feat in a second-place finish in 2004.
The NCAA Championships are on the horizon and there are nine Quakers that have put themselves in a position to reach the national championship meet. The 400-meter relay team, Westman (decathlon), junior John Carelli (triple jump), and Oliver and freshman Brian Fulton (800 meters) have all qualified for the NCAA East Regional Championships May 29-30.

I love everything about it, except I would switch out the top for something a big closer fitting, like more of a tank. The sweater has a lot of volume and the shirt has a bit of volume to it, so visually together it looks a bit bulky, but stream lining it with a slimmer fitting top will offset that and give you better body lines.33|00|0
Great idea thanks !
Do you think a gray tank would look good?

MySpace Music Goes Live
Los Angeles-based MySpace launched its MySpace Music service last night, the firm's joint venture with EMI Music, SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT, Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, and Sony ATV/ Music Publishing. The site is an online music community and music store, which allows MySpace members to listen to and purchase music. According to MySpace, the site incorporates the entire music catalog from The Orchard, and will offer both audio and video content. Among features rolled out last night on the site is the ability for users to create their own personal playlists, free ad-supported audio streamining, and music information and discographies. Music sales on the site are handled through Amazon, which will offer DRM-free MP3 tracks through the site. MySpace also said it will sell ringtones on the site through features powered by Jamster.

Creators columnist Thomas Sowell was recently interviewed by the Wall Street Journal.
These days, the pressure of digital media and the growth of mobile have created challenges for syndicates to remain relevant and keep up with the demand from media companies as they adapt to a changing environment.
The decision to drop the Republican presidential hopeful follows his column, published by conservative outlets like The Washington Times and National Review, in which he discussed how a "doctor's fact-based expertise could augment a president's leadership abilities."
Creators Syndicate, the service that runs conservative Ben Carson's regular column, has yanked his most recent column from its list of website offerings and announced it will be ending the feature. Managing editor David Yontz criticized Carson's latest column as "misleading" because it seems to suggest he's already a candidate for the White House in 2016. Carson has formed an exploratory committee, but not yet officially announced a run.Read More
What caused the massive shift in the syndication business? The changing needs of newspapers and media companies in the digital era where space is tight, budgets are tighter and time isn't the luxury it once was. Once content to simply shop for comics, puzzles and columnists, newspapers now need a vast array of content as they retrench to focus on local interests. Plus, a shrinking printed news hole has pivoted to largely expanding digital operations in desperate need of content.
Creators Syndicate is proud to announce that the newest addition to newspapers' comics pages is "Recess," a hilarious panel by Andy Anderson and Wil Panganiban.

Domingo Garcia Wants to Be LULAC's President, but LULAC is Suing to Stop Him
Domingo Garcia
Sometime last month, Domingo Garcia launched his bid to become the next president of LULAC, the nationwide Latino civil rights advocacy organization. He started a campaign page on Facebook on March 8 and sent an open letter to the group's members at about the same time.
"Today LULAC is at a political crossroads," he begins, going on to enumerate the problems facing the Hispanic community: failing schools, attacks on voting rights, Congressional resistance to comprehensive immigration reform. "Our opportunities are ... under threat in the legislative and legal systems with a tone of intolerance, of bigotry, and un-American political attacks that pose serious problems."
To cope with those challenges, Garcia writes, LULAC needs a "visible, articulate, and assertive president," someone who can expand the organization's reach, foster ties with the business community, labor groups, grassroots activists, and reach out to young people. They need someone with the backbone to stand up to states who attempt to "scape goat (sic) Latinos and use us as political pinatas."
The one person who embodies all those qualities? Why, it's Domingo Garcia! He urges members to support him in the election of national officers, slated for this summer in Las Vegas.
Upcoming Events
But Garcia's candidacy, not even a month old, is already ginning up controversy. On Friday, a day after the group says it learned of his candidacy, LULAC filed a lawsuit in Dallas County District Court demanding that Garcia be declared ineligible.
The group claims that, although Garcia paid lifetime membership dues in 2006, he hasn't been an active member of any of LULAC's local councils. Because the organization's constitution requires national officers to have been a member of a local council "in good standing for at least three consecutive years at the time of his or her election," the group contends that Garcia's election "threatens the organization's identity and the presidency's legitimacy," according to the suit.
(Note: If the chapter's website is accurate, he's currently the president of LULAC Council 102. The lawsuit insists that this wasn't the case in 2012.)
We've left a message for Garcia and will update when we hear back.

That is subjective to a person. I would say I am very very happy that I am single. I have always been single and I have no regrets whatsoever. I wish to stay single forever.

Does anyone have any experience getting a Nessus scan to work on a Vista pc?
I've tried the recommended:
1) The WMI service must be enabled on the target.
2) The Remote Registry service must be enabled on the target.
3) File & Printer Sharing must be enabled in the target's network configuration.
4) Ports 139 and 445 must be open between the Nessus scanner and the target.
5) An SMB account must be used that has local administrator rights on the target.
We have also seen in some cases where Windows local security policies in place will block access or inherent permissions. A common one is found under:
Administrative Tools --> Local Security Policy --> Security Settings --> Local Policies -->
Security Options --> Network access: Sharing and security model for local accounts.
If this local security policy on the target is set to something other than 'Classic - local users authenticate as themselves', a compliance scan will not run successfully.
For Vista and 2008, the requirements listed above still apply along with a few additions. These additions are explained in the following article.
And I still can't come up with any security holes........
Any ideas?

Sorry to be a nay-sayer.....but I never could get it working on vista. But it DID start eating ram and CPU cycles while doing exactly nothing.
Word to the wise, uninstall if you give up like I did. Save yourself a bad slowdown.
**Edit for clarification** I was trying to get Nessus to run the server portion ON an Vista box
Jul 16, 2009 at 11:05 UTC
I've got the server portion running on a server 2003 box. Runs fine from there when i'm scanning all other systems. It's only the Vista machine's that it won't scan. They all come back as 'clean'. It is a system hog though.
Jul 16, 2009 at 3:26 UTC
Well I finally got it to scan a vista machine. I just think it's ridiculous that you have to take down your defenses completely in order to scan a vista machine!

The commodities king gives his picks for the coming year.
With the new year just a few hours away, the world wants to know what Dennis Gartman, editor and publisher of The Gartman Letter, is predicting for 2014.
Gartman spoke Talking Numbers with his three top predictions for this coming year.
1. Buy English-speaking currencies against the Japanese yen
Gartman believes the Japanese yen will do worse against the US dollar, the British pound, the Canadian dollar, the New Zealand dollar, and the Australian dollar. Gartman says: "The yen is under duress and will continue to be under duress. The monetary authorities want it to weaken. And, I think the English-speaking currencies, with their respect for tradition and the rule of law, is where flight capital will tend to move. So, I want to be long the English-speakers. I want to be short the yen."
(Read: Euro rises against dollar and yen but seen vulnerable)
2. Buy the Nikkei against the S&P 500 index
Gartman says: "I think over the course of the next several years, the Nikkei will seriously outperform the other broad market indices around the world. Again, that's predicated on a weak Japanese yen. The monetary authorities are going to do what they can to sponsor that strength."
(Read: Japan's Nikkei logs best year since 1972)
3. Buy gold, short the yen
Gartman says: "I've been long of gold in yen terms for the past year. Now, if you've been long of gold stocks, you're down 35% or 40%. If you've been long of gold in dollar terms, which is how most people do trade gold, they're down 25% to 30%. If you have been long gold in yen terms, yes, you're down but it's only 6%.... Over the course of the next year, again, predicated upon what the monetary authorities in Japan have said and what the political authorities in Japan are doing, gold is a far better trade in yen terms than it is in dollars. That's a large differentiation. There's a huge gap between owning gold in dollar terms and owning gold in terms of yen."
To see the rest of what Dennis Gartman has to say about his picks are for 2014, watch the video above.

Thank you. Since my login information is saved on the computer I am essentially already/always "logged in". Thus, I won't ever be brought to that page and never see the notification. Does that make sense? I would suppose that there are many with the same set-up...

Hi again,
Please note that, for security reasons, sessions do expire, so you you will be logging in again eventually (when that happens) and you will be having this popup.
You may also check your email history whenever you like, to make sure everything is marked as sent successfully. We have a detailed guide on how to achieve that here: https://www.jotform.com/help/293-How-to-View-All-Your-Form-Email-History
I hope this helps. We're here if you need anything.
Thanks again for the quick reply.
It would be nice to not have to go and check the email history just to make sure all the emails are going through successfully. I think a simple email notification would do the trick to help solve problems as soon as possible, especially if I don't log in for a while.
JotForm Support
Hi again,
Please note that one of the patterns we noticed is that customers tend to send email notifications to the email attached to the user account (among other addresses).
If this email address gets included in the bounce list, then sending an email notification to them to inform them of this fact, wouldn't work, resulting in the user not knowing they should have had a notification in the inbox.
Still, this could work if the users for example would provide a backup email address to notify them about bounce issues, so in any case I am escalating this to our second level team as per your request.
You will be notified of any progress or action taken, via this ticket. Thank you.
Thanks! Wow, phenomenal customer service. Keep up the good work.

U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, released the following statement today on reports of advancements in the Iranian nuclear weapons program, and a Hezbollah announcement that it now has the capacity to conduct missile strikes anywhere in Israel. Statement by Ros-Lehtinen:
"The released images of an explosives chamber needed for nuclear weapons-related testing in Iran paint a disturbing picture: that, while the world is chasing more negotiations, Iran is racing towards a nuclear weapons capability. Just two months ago President Obama extended the national emergency with respect to Iran declaring that the regime's activities pose "an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States.' Well, prolonged negotiations and concessions will only increase the threat, rather than curtail it.
"Iran has consistently played fast and loose with Western governments, engaging in bad-faith negotiations to buy time to achieve a nuclear weapons capability, as it commissioned attacks on U.S. soil. This week, Iran's proxy Hezbollah announced that it is capable of launching rocket strikes that could hit anywhere in Israel, while reiterating calls for Israel's destruction. The negotiations track is having the opposite of its intended effect by making a nuclear Iran more likely.
"As U.S. and other Western diplomats scramble to give more concessions, such as permitting Iran to continue enriching uranium, it is critical that the Senate move legislation adopted by the full House which seeks to strengthen U.S. sanctions, close loopholes, and deny any lifeline to the Iranian regime. Crippling sanctions must be imposed now if we are to compel Iran to completely dismantle its nuclear program and end other destructive activities that threaten the U.S., our interests, and our allies."
NOTE: Ros-Lehtinen is the author of H.R. 1905, the Iran Threat Reduction Act. The bill was approved by the House in December 2011 by a vote of 410-11. The bill strengthens, updates, and replaces previous Iran sanctions laws to ensure that current law vigorously addresses the multiple threats posed by Iran. The bill closes loopholes in energy and financial sanctions, including by targeting the Central Bank of Iran. The bill also targets the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and senior Iranian regime officials.
Ros-Lehtinen is also the author of H.R. 2105, the Iran, North Korea, and Syria Nonproliferation Reform and Modernization Act, which was approved by the House by a vote of 418-2. The bill expands sanctions on those assisting Iran, North Korea, and Syria in the development of their weapons programs, including their nuclear programs.

About: Milton Keynes Hospital Milton Keynes Hospital Milton Keynes MK6 5LD
Posted by Notagain
If your appointment is late, it may perhaps be due to someone undergoing examinations, alternatively being told they may have/or have cancer. To complain about waiting times is rather selfish. We all have other priorities in our lives and we need to stop and think just for a moment.
Everything was clean, the reception team were absolutely spot on and went the extra mile to help. The nurse was perfect and so was the registrar in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, who was precise and to the point, which I prefer due to the fact that I do not want sympathetic fuss. The registrar consulted with the consultant as to the best route, both amazing and very clever individuals! Thank you to all of you!

Legacy Collection - Men's
The classic rubber-soled canvas shoe traces its origins all the way back to 1830. So naturally, it could use a few upgrades a few centuries later.
The Wilson is our take on of the timeless sneaker - we didn't add too much, just a vulcanized rubber sole with our custom GREATS flag banner tread pattern, and a toecap and tongue accent rendered in rich pebbled leather.
We named it after our friend, 6 time NFL pro-bowler (and all around awesome guy) Adrian Wilson, because he's a classic in his own right.

Erie Canal Soda Pop Festival
|Erie Canal Soda Pop Festival
|Rock, pop
|Labor Day weekend of 1972
|Griffin, Indiana
|Founded by
|Tom Duncan and Bob Alexander
|est. 300,000
The Erie Canal Soda Pop Festival was a rock festival held on the Labor Day weekend of 1972 near Griffin, Indiana on Bull Island, a strip of land in Illinois but on the Indiana side of the Wabash River. A crowd estimated at 200,000 to 300,000 attended the concert, four times what the promoters estimated. Food and water were in short supply, and the gathering descended into relative anarchy. After the show was finished, remnants of the crowd members burned the main stage.[1]
Several months before the Festival, promoters Tom Duncan and Bob Alexander held a very successful small festival at Bosse Field in Evansville, Indiana. That show included acts such as Ike and Tina Turner, New Riders of the Purple Sage, and Edgar Winter. Based on that success, Duncan and Alexander planned a bigger festival.
The Erie Canal Soda Pop Festival was originally slated for Chandler, Indiana, a small town near Evansville, Indiana. However, various court battles stopped the festival from performance anywhere in Indiana. Shortly before the start of the concert, the promoters decided on a site near Griffin in Posey County, Indiana referred to locally as "Bull Island".
Due to the changing course of the Wabash River, Bull Island is located east of the Wabash River but is part of the State of Illinois. Thus, Bull Island was out of the jurisdiction of the various Indiana courts. The White County, Illinois government in the city of Carmi was surprised that the venue had suddenly ended up in its backyard, and was unable to stop the concert.
The concert[edit]
The promoters initially estimated a crowd of 55,000. As the Labor Day approached, it became obvious that a much larger crowd was coming to the festival. As Bull Island was accessible by only two roads, traffic was backed up for 20 miles (30 km) from the festival. Since Bull Island was technically part of Illinois but the only access was through Indiana, police protection and crowd control during the festival were non-existent. Coordination between the Indiana police and the Illinois police was woefully inadequate. The only police on the festival grounds were three county deputy sheriffs from White County, Illinois trying to police a crowd of 200,000 to 300,000.
The scheduled lineup included Black Sabbath, Joe Cocker, Allman Brothers, John Mayall, Cheech & Chong, Canned Heat, Fleetwood Mac, Ballin' Jack, Amboy Dukes, Bob Seger, Bang, Ravi Shankar, Albert King, Brownsville Station, Mike Quatro, Gentle Giant, Black Oak Arkansas, Eagles, The Chambers Brothers, Boones Farm, Slade, Nazareth, and Delbert & Glenn. However, only a few bands such as Flash Cadillac & the Continental Kids, Black Oak Arkansas, Ramatam, Mike Quatro, Bang, Cheech and Chong, Foghat, Albert King, Brownsville Station, Santana, Canned Heat, Flash, Ravi Shankar, Rory Gallagher, Lee Michaels and Frosty, Eagles, The Amboy Dukes, Farm, CK Thunder, and Gentle Giant actually performed. Vince Vance and the Valiants played after Ted Nugent of The Amboy Dukes.
Difficulties and aftermath[edit]
Over the three days, the festival drifted steadily into anarchy. Food and water were in short supply. A torrential rain soaked the festival. A truck bringing food into the festival was hijacked, looted and burned. When vendors overcharged for food and drinks, the folks turned over many of the RVs and robbed the vendors. Drugs were freely available in a makeshift "shopping district" where dealers proudly displayed their wares. Various bands cancelled. Three concert goers drowned in the Wabash River. As the festival ended, the remnants of the crowd burned the music stand.
The promoters explained later that they had sold 30,000 advance tickets for $20 and $25 each, and estimated a crowd of 55,000 would attend. They were therefore woefully unprepared when more than 200,000 people arrived.
Following the concert, the promoters were ensnared in multiple lawsuits by the owner of Bull Island, vendors, the Internal Revenue Service, the State of Illinois, and the State of Indiana. The promoters were eventually found in contempt of court and fined several thousand dollars.

I smell it before putting it on and if it smells okay I don't bother to wear it again. Is it bad? If yes what's appropriate? Change it everyday?
- Eww...Vote A
- Its okay!Vote B
- I don't know.Vote C
Most Helpful Girl
First of all, which girl said it was okay? -__- It's not hygienic or clean. The smell test isn't a good way to tell if you're clean, either. Literally your dick and balls are just sweating in those motherfuckers and making your nether regions STANK. So please bathe and change clothes on a daily basis if you want to not be gross.
I love how graphic that explanation was lol

Even though we live in a world that is technically advanced, there is still a need to learn how to survive when SHTF. There are several steps that one needs to take to ensure his/her survival.
Step 1: Recognition
Knowing that you are in a situation where survival skills are required, it will speed up the process. The initial few minutes are the most important and critical time.
Step 2: Inventory
Always be prepared. This can not be stressed more than ever before. Make sure you have your survival knives, hunting gear, backpack, and first-aid kit. Knife is a must carry tool.
Step 3: Shelter
Keep your body warm, and dry. Always take cover under a tree especially during rain. Dig up hole if you need that what animals do.
Step 4: Signals
Always keep extra batteries and extra charging cables. Keep a safety box in car filled with signal mirrors, flares, makers, and fire starter.
Step 5: Energy
Extra food and water is a must. Chocolate though unhealthy. The fat is good for long term energy

Stuck in a loveless marriage, Hugh keeps finding ways to break her heart until Grace can take it no more and finally gave up the image of a blissful marriage.

I am going to be making a cake like this for Easter Weekend
And was wondering if I was to stack 3 - 2 inch high cakes plus the half ball pan on top should I be putting dowels in the bottom two cakes and then having the remaining layer and the half ball cake on another cake board or can they just all be stacked together? I hope that makes sense....
Also, I am not sure what size cakes would go best with the half ball pan, as I do not have it yet. I'm going to be using either daffodils or daisies for the flowers if that makes a difference. Any help is appreciated.
i would stack the 3 2" layers dowel this. place the ball cake on a card board. this looks like an 8" round cake with the ball pan cake on top. doweling the bottom 3 layers. will support all the weight of the ball pan cake and flowers. hth
Anything over 2 layers needs a support system. The sports ball fits well on a 6" cake.
I agree. The top round and ball need to be supported. The Wilton sports ball has a 6 inch diameter.
Perfect! Thanks everyone !!
Will I have to put a dowel through the center of the entire cake since it is all one width?
Will you be moving it?
Yes it will be going from my house to my parents....about a 15 minute (bumpy) drive. I am nervous about it being tall....lol
Then I would put a dowel through it into the bottom board.

Faye training with Leeds
Senegalese midfielder Amdy Faye has been training with Leeds and will play for the club's reserve side.
By James Riach
Last Updated: 06/09/10 2:35pm
Senegalese midfielder Amdy Faye has been training with Leeds United and will play for the club's reserve side on Tuesday.
The 33-year-old former Portsmouth, Newcastle, Charlton, Rangers and Stoke man is currently a free agent having been released by the Potters at the end of last season.
He has been training with the Whites over the past week and is set to feature against Grimsby for the reserves, where he will be hoping to sufficiently impress manager Simon Grayson.
Faye only made one appearance for Stoke last term due to injury, but was a regular performer in their first campaign in the Premier League the year before.
It has been a busy summer for Leeds in the transfer market and this may be the last piece in the jigsaw for boss Grayson as he looks to build a squad capable of competing in the Championship following promotion from League One.
Grayson told the club's official website: "Amdy trained with us at the back end of last week and again on Monday.
"He's got plenty of good experience and he's done okay. He'll play on Tuesday and we'll have a look at his fitness levels."
Faye began his career in France with Auxerre and has made 31 appearances for Senegal, featuring in the 2002 World Cup.
Leeds have made a solid start to life in the second tier and the Elland Road outfit will look to move up the table with a win against Swansea on Saturday.

As self-proclaimed technology gurus, readers here may have a front seat to the connected home revolution. AT&T (News - Alert) is part of this charge and has made a name for itself with the Digital Life brand of home security and automation services.
Of course, Digital Life allows users to control their homes from a smartphone app, but the folks at AT&T are taking this capability one step further. AT&T has announced that it is testing the Voice Assistant mobile app that will give users the ability to ask questions about their personal networks. AT&T has called this development a step forward in providing users with more convenience as homeowners.
Kevin Petersen, the president of AT&T Digital Life, has more:
"Communicating with your Digital Life system using your voice and natural language is a convenient way to get even more out of your service than with the Digital Life app alone," Petersen said. "As we add new devices and services to our managed platform, we'll continue to introduce and extend features like the Voice Assistant to make Digital Life services even easier for customers to use."
The app is expected to receive a full commercial launch within the first half of this year. At present, it is persisting through active trials to get it ready for primetime. It will land on both Android (News - Alert) and iOS and will contain a number of features such as the ability to recognize users' spoken questions and control certain home devices.
AT&T notes that users can ask questions to the app such as, "Is the security system armed?" and, "Is the back door locked?" Users can then capitalize on responses to those answers by commanding the app with, for instance, the statement, "Set the system to 'Armed Stay.'" The app will also speak commands back to users to let them know their systems have been armed or their doors are locked.
This type of interaction is made possible through the Curo speech and language platform that Interactions (News - Alert) has developed to provide users with a natural manner of communicating with devices. Interactions have an interesting history at AT&T having sold its AT&T Watson Speech Recognition program to Interactions Corporation back in 2014 while retaining an equity interest. Thus, given the growing importance of speech as a user interface it is not surprising that AT&T is looking to give voice to its Digital Life service.

Unified Western Grocers Sees 'Turnaround Performance' in Fiscal 2002
LOS ANGELES - Unified Western Grocers Inc., a leading retailer-owned wholesale grocery distributor in the Western region, recently announced that it achieved a turnaround performance in 2002.
LOS ANGELES - Unified Western Grocers Inc., a leading retailer-owned wholesale grocery distributor in the Western region, recently announced that it achieved a turnaround performance in 2002.
The Los Angeles-based cooperative said its earnings from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended Sept. 28, 2002 rose to $20.9 million, a 56 percent improvement over the prior year.
The company attributes its improved performance to an increase in net sales ($22 million improvement over the prior year), improvements in productivity and throughput in each of its five major distribution centers, a company-wide reduction in expenses, a workforce reduction, improvements in the profitability of its insurance and specialty grocery subsidiaries, continued strength in its financing subsidiary, and improved working capital levels.
As a result of its improved performance, Unified generated $16.7 million in patronage dividends for members of the cooperative, up from $14.9 million in 2001.
Unified chose to exit the retail business in 2002, even though its retail operations also improved. The company said as a result, it hopes to further invest in the wholesale distribution business and reduce its level of debt.
"Our results for 2002 reflect some very significant operational improvements in our wholesale business," said Al Plamann, president and CEO. "Our core wholesale business remained strong and robust in a very difficult retail environment. We were effective in our efforts to pare expenses without sacrificing service levels, and our subsidiaries had improvements over the prior year. We are moving into the new year with a clean slate and are looking forward to the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead."

Great insights about the town north of Uvita - Domincal. I have spent many weeks, possibly months there before building my house in Uvita. It's a great place to just "be" and go with the flow. Surfing is the center piece of this town and the tide pretty much schedules everything somehow around it :-)
A Quick Guide To Off-The-Beaten-Track Dominical, Costa Rica
Beaches that stretch on as far as the eye can see, lush jungle, forested mountains … It's no wonder that Costa Rica is considered by many to be pure paradise. However, an influx of tourism over the past decade means it can be difficult to find a place that doesn't feel overrun with sunburnt tourists and souvenir stands.
But while the popular towns of Tamarindo, Guanacaste, and Arenal become more and more crowded every year, the dirt road leading to the beach town of Dominical keeps a humble balance of relaxed vibes and plenty of opportunity for adventure. If you're ready to explore one of the most beautiful regions in all of Costa Rica, then don't miss this guide to Dominical and the surrounding region:
Here is the full article.
It's just a magical place...

Just a few minutes drive from the Casa Verde are the beautiful Uvita Waterfalls. Thanks to our soon to be neighbor - Marco Carniel (www.wildlife-images.at) for this beautiful shot.

Just up the road of the Casa Verde is a nice hotel/restaurant called Vista Ballena for perfect views of the Whales Tale.

Universal Orlando has brought man's best friend to the park with the addition of characters from The Secret Life of Pets to Universal's Superstar Parade.
The characters come on two new floats. The first float includes Max and his friend Duke as they welcome guests to New York. This float is themed around fall in Central Park. The main float is themed to the apartments in the city. Here you will get a sneak peek at what pets do when their owners are away. Familiar characters from the film can be seen goofing off including Leonard, Gidget, Chloe and more.
One of the most exciting parts about the new addition to the parade are the parkour gymnasts, who flip, balance and rebound on the Central Park float to an upbeat soundtrack while dancers perform around them.
As if all of that wasn't exciting enough, fans will also be able to meet the stars of the movie as the floats and performers put on a special show in front of Mel's Drive-In. The meet-and-greets are held multiple times a day.
For a chance to see what pets do when their owners area away, come check out The Secret Life of Pets in Universal's Superstar Parade with discounted Universal Orlando tickets right here on Orlando Fun Tickets.

Both Ayurveda and Yoga are based on the principle of the five elements. These five elements are referred to as the panchamahabhutas in Ayurveda or the tattvas in yoga. Pancha means "five" and mahabhuta and tattva are Sanskrit words meaning "element" or "reality."
These five elements are responsible for the structure of the universe; they are the building blocks of the material world. Everything in the universe, animate and inanimate, is made up of the five mahabhutas. The five elements are: aakash (ether), vayu (air), agni (fire), jala (water), and prithvi (earth). Each object and being in the universe contains a varying degree and combination of the five elements providing its unique features. The elements are not detected in their pure state. We perceive substances that possess many qualities, which come from a combination of more than one element. [Read more…]

I don't care who you are, in a photograph that you know will be posted or shared either by you or someone else, you want to look young (or as young as possible given the realities of aging), as thin as possible, and maybe just like you stepped out of the pages of a magazine somewhere. Unfortunately you can't necessarily control when other people are taking your photo, but you can improve your own or help direct someone taking a photograph of you.
1. Looking your thinnest can be achieved by 1)actually being thin or 2)faking it as much as you can. If you are in category two, make sure before you snap a shot you are wearing clothes that aren't pulling, buttons seperating, rolling up exposing thighs, muffin tops, or belly rolls or that are so tight we can see your kidneys working. There is no amount of posing that will help poorly fitting clothing not look bad on you or you in it. If you know and loath your bat wing arms, for goodness sake, don't show up to the party where pictures are being taken in a wispy thin strapped tank top. Stand up straight. Posture will visually knock off a few pounds vs. letting it look like your slouching body is pooling in your own fat. If you hate everything below your belly button, pose in pictures behind something like a large bag, pillar, a friend, a high backed chair, bushes, or instead of posing on a bench where the photographer is in front of you, turn around a pose so the back of the bench covers up most of your body and just rest your arms on top of it and smile. If you have kids, have them sit on your lap or hold them across the body to cover up your percieved flaws. Classically you can have your photo taken from a higher angle, laying down on your stomach, or if its a head shot, push your chin out away from your neck a bit so that it helps eliminate the look of chin fat/rolls.
2. For the bathroom selfie (also works outdoors) try this little trick. Turn on your bathroom lights and stand in front of the mirror. Grab a hand mirror or sheet of foil and place it below you at a slight angle towards your face so that if you are looking in the bathroom mirror, you can clearly see the light reflecting off of the hand mirror hitting your face, and more specifically, your eyes. This should give you a bit of sparkle in your eye. These are catchlights, which even if you have dark brown eyes, will show up in your photos and make you look much more vibrant and youthful especially with a nice smile. If you're going to try this outdoors, use a large white sheet of paper or posterboard rather then the silver or glass. Also, remember a mirror reflects everything in the room with you, so try and clean off your counter tops, get rid of potential photo bombers, or crop the photo in closer. Also be aware that if you're going to go back in and photoshop your image, you better pay attention to your reflection as well because even if you're lying, it won't (unless of course you photoshop both).
3. Lighting and clarity are key. How many times have you said wow about a photo which is grainy, blurry, too bright or too dark vs. one with great lighting and that is sharp and clear? Photographers know the most magical time of day for lighting is Golden Hour. It's about an hour or two before sunset wherever you live. The light is literally golden, things sparkle, hell its down right magical! Use it to your advantage if you want a glorious glowing shot of yourself. Stand with the sun to your back so that the light creates a highlight or halo around your face/hair. Worst time of day, noon + a couple of hours. The sun is pretty high over head. If you want to know what all your photos look like during that time just straight taken outside in an open field, stand in the dark with a flashlight shining down on you. Notice the horrible shadows under your eyes, nose, and mouth. That is the noon hour. Try and avoid times when the sunlight is harsh and directly over head. If you can't, stand under a bit of shade where the sunlight is just beyond the shade in front of you to take your photo, preferrably where the ground beneath you is a light color---white, soft grey, tan, etc. As far as getting clear shots, even if you have surgeons hands, your hands still shake automatically while trying to hold them perfectly steady. To avoid this, place your camera on a sturdy surface, table, book, or if you have one, a tripod. When shooting indoors, the most beautiful light tends to be that coming in from a window in the morning or afternoon. Sit/stand in front of a window that is either in front of you or on side of you with your face slightly turned toward it. This light tends to be nice and soft and give a nice glow to the face.
4. The Photo is about you. As in the above, most successful portraits are ones where the person in them is the majority of the focus. If you posed in Time Square for example, with hundreds of people behind you, neon signs, photo bombers, trash, cars going by, etc. --that photo is about New York, not you. When you're ready to take a photo or have one taken of you, look behind and in front of you for a simple background. A nice lake, a brick wall, a solid color wall, a wall of greenery, etc. The less clutter the better. Also make sure you aren't directly in front of something like a tree or pole which may end up looking like they are hillariously growing out of your head. You also want to wear clothing that is equally simple. Big bold florals, logos, flames, or lettering and messages on the shirt/clothing distract from you. Wear solid colors, and a simple pant or jean, or dress when you're taking photos. Also keep to more natural looking make-up, and nicely shaved or groomed faces for guys.

no idea, the musha gundams ARE pretty popular though. and for good reason, i like my shin musha gundam^^
i have the special version though with the shiny gold parts:
i actually got that one for free by the way! i ordered the sinanju + action base and the unicorn + action base, both packages with express shipping. the guy i ordered it from wanted to ship the unicorn with regular shipping though for some reason, even though i paid extra for that! so i sent him a mail and he "fixed" it.
when i picked up my package from the customs it wasnt the unicorn but the shin musha :P i was so pissed XD then i built it anyway :P
a week later the unicorn arrived, too XD and the shin musha special pack wasnt even cheap, he had it for $90 in his shop.

here are my sinanju and unicorn, both the titanium finish version:
although in retrospect i might as well have bought the non-titanium finish unicorn... the titanium finish one is just a tiny bit shiny and has a billion REALLY ugly black cut marks all over it.

i try not to buy anymore of the same kit over and over, but the thing is sometime it's so hard not to buy them when they first release.
i will only buy the same kit for different grade or if they have major update on the kit itself, like this

a top 20 MG list:
interesting... those are all probably great kits but i wouldnt really list them in that order and id kick out a few kits. for example, why are there 2 strike freedoms, 2 rx-78-2s and 3 zakus? thats a little redundant, they should have taken only the best of those... like the regular strike freedom only and not the FBM version.
im also missing the MK-II and the Turn A! :O

Just Bare Reveals 'Just 5' Cooking Challenge Winner
Promotion includes release of digital cookbook
Just Bare, a brand of all-natural, American Humane Certified chicken, has revealed the winner of its second annual Just 5 Cooking Challenge alongside the release of its first-ever digital cookbook.
The Marsala Chicken with Roasted Garlic & Caramelized Burst Tomatoes recipe, submitted by Lindsey Bjorge of Spring Lake, Minn., received the most votes and will be featured in the January/February issue of Whole Living magazine. Five voters were also randomly selected and named Just 5 Cooking Challenge sweepstakes winners, each receiving a free Apple iPad tablet.
Compatible with desktops, tablets and mobile devices, the 2012 Just 5 Cookbook was designed as a busy weeknight dinner saver and fancy weekend entertainment planner. Twenty recipes from the 2012 finalists are included, each one offering a unique combination of simplicity and creativity.
"What people can love about this [digital cookbook] is how simple, diverse and unique it is, with plenty of ideas to please family and friends," said Lisa Golden Schroeder, Just 5 Cooking Challenge culinary judge and Just Bare blogger. "The most effective 5-ingredient recipes are the ones that use ingredients more than once during the cooking process—like using the zest of an orange in a light crumb coating for the chicken, while the orange juice is used in a vinaigrette dressing or sauce."
The contest, which ran from Nov. 5 through Dec. 5, included more than 250 recipe submissions and nearly 11,000 voters. Of the 5-ingredient recipes, 30 semi-finalists were kitchen-tested by Schroder and her team of experts and were scored based upon appearance, taste and overall ease of preparation. The 20 recipes with the highest score advanced to online voting on Just Bare's Facebook page.
Just Bare is distributed nationally by St. Cloud, Minn.-based GNP Company, a family-owned provider of premium chicken products to retail, deli and foodservice customers throughout the nation.

Extending opportunities for our students has been our focus and we are continuing to offer a curriculum that will prepare students for a bright future. We have increased the range of Engineering and Science related courses. Our specialist status enables us to provide a challenging and stimulating learning environment and encourages an understanding of the relationship between Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. Practical applications are high on our agenda and students are encouraged to think creatively in their learning whilst adopting a problem-solving ethos.
Our commitment to the local community continues to be a strength and we have continued to develop our involvement by providing specialist subject support to our local primary schools. Our extensive links with business and industry ensure our staff and students experience the highest level of engagement with the wider world when it comes to the field of engineering and lifelong skills. We encourage all our students to witness the impact of work-related learning in supporting them with a vision to apply for university, employment and increasingly, apprenticeships when they leave us at 18 years of age. We now have a building with the facilities to ensure a realistic view of the world of work.

Morningstar: A Warrior's Spirit (Coteau Books, 2006).
(Promo from Coteau Books)
Morningstar Mercredi was born and lived in the north - Forth Cipewayan and Fort McMurray in Alberta, Uranium City in Saskatchewan, and a number of small communities. Sexually abused from an early age, by family members and the boyfriends she turned to for consolation, she was promiscuous, alcoholic and a drug user by the time she was thirteen. She married when she was sixteen and had a son two years later. Everything was a struggle. Days and weeks of sobriety were followed by weeks and months of drinking and self-abuse.
Then, when her son was four, things began to change. Morningstar found support, from the community, from her son, and from within herself, to be a good mother, find employment, keep relationships and reconnect with her family. Today, she is a strong and creative member of her community and eager to tell her story of defeat and ultimate triumph.
