Powder that turns water into rum and vodka, also known as Palcohol, was granted a label of approval by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau April 8.
According to CBS News, a spokesman told Jan Crawford that the approval was an error; the label was withdrawn 13 days later.
Lipsmark produces Palcohol, which was created by Mark Phillips. Phillips, told CBS News that he needs to resubmit the labels for approval, and it will be in stores this fall.
The portability of this product allows people to take it anywhere. It would make it easier to sneak it in a movie theater, restaurant or even class. The way that this product works is by simply mixing water with powder, so people who are underage would have an easier time drinking it without anyone knowing.
"People could sneak it into the club and put it in their drinks, or even put it in a glass of water so that they don't have to pay for an alcoholic drink," said Rachel Samson, a fourth-year nursing student at HPU.
The powdered alcohol would be easily accessible online and to anyone who is of age to buy liquor in stores, it will also be available overseas.
"It could be a problem for underage kids since it seems like it'd be easier to hide or sneak around than a big glass bottle," said English major Jessie Victor.
College students would also be able to bring this powdery drink to parties and not have to worry hiding any alcohol bottles while walking into their dorm. One pouch is equivalent to a standard drink and in different flavors such as, Cosmopolitan, Mojito, Powderita and Lemon Drop.
"I think it's going to be a novelty thing," Victor said. "It might be cool at first for people going to house parties and stuff, but I'd rather have the real thing."
The product also presents potential health risks and an increase in underage drinking. Some people are interested in experimenting different ways to consume the powder by sprinkling it on their food or snorting it.
"We've added volume to the powder so it would take more than a half of a cup of powder to get the equivalent of one drink up your nose," Lipsmark stated. "You would feel a lot of pain for very little gain. Just use it the right way."
Palcohol has a ways to go before it hits your local grocery store, but countries such as Japan, Germany and Netherlands have similar products that are on shelves.
It might be a good idea to mention that the FDA rescinded its approval on the same day it approved it.

Usually when a seal jumps out of the water and up onto a surfboard, it's been chased up there by ten feet of hungry shark and it's clinging onto anything for dear life. This little guy though, he's just looking for some bro time. Doesn't even care that these guys are on longboard pop outs. He's into that, no problem. Board transfers, bodysurfing, this UK-based surfing seal is up for whatever. That's just how British seals are.

Liverpool fired club legend Kenny Dalglish as manager on Wednesday in a dramatic statement that the club's owners are not happy with the way the Reds have
performed since they took over last year.
Dalglish, dubbed "King Kenny," had returned for a second stint as manager at Anfield in January 2011 and was given almost $160 million by the Fenway Sports Group to spend on the transfer market.
Despite the huge investment in players, Liverpool finished eighth in the EPL this season, 37 points behind champion Manchester City. It was Liverpool's worst finish in nearly two decades.
Dalglish, a key figure in the club's 1970s and 1980s glory years, said in a statement he was "honored and privileged" to have been given the opportunity to manage the club for a second time. The lone prize the Reds won was the 2012 League Cup.
Names mentioned as possible successors include Wigan's Roberto Martinez, Swansea's Brendan Rodgers and Norwich's Paul Lambert.

Hey everyone! So I decided to start foruming! I'm new to BB and thought I'd give it a try. I am 15 years old and I live in Iowa. I own a Holland Lop named Oliver...he's the light of my life...well all my animals are really. Oliver is my 4th bunny. When I was 5ish I got a californian, but my dad took care of them because he didn't want us kids to both them. Then I got Teton, a holland lop as well when I was about 12ish, he was already 6 years old when I got him..about a year and a half later he passed on, but I sure fell in a trance with rabbits at that point. I took me a year to get over Teton, so I then got Willie. WIllie was a Holland Lop as well, I got him from the same place I got Teton from. But about a week later he passed on. I'm not sure why though, I called the vet and he said it could have been stress from going to a different location and such. It was reallysad he had a short life, and I prepared for Willie for months! I ever made him a huge hutch since my parents didn't allow my bunnies to sleep inside unless weather was bad.
So that was about October (2011) this all happened. I didn't want to get another bunny after Willie, though my dad wanted to get me one. On Easter morning (2012) I got up and went to go let my dogs outside to go potty & feed them. On the porch there was a box, with a piece of paper duct taped on there saying "Hoppy Easter." I thought my parents were playing a joke. But nope...sure enough there was Oliver! I checked out the box later that day...and it had a shipping address on it. It was the people who I got Willie and Oliver from! ♥
haha, I though I'd tell the story, the story never gets old
So, Oliver's Favorite treat is Banana Slices or Veggie Crunchies.
He can do tricks too; up, circle, and kiss!
So I just though I'd introduce me & Oliver ;D
Thanks for reading!
So so so sorry about the huge pictures,I am horrible at editing pictures!
Willie ^^
Teton ^^

El Al Pilot Jettisons Passenger Luggage to Let Airline Employees Fly
El Al spokesperson: Company does not comment on matters of employee relations in the media.
Next time your luggage does not arrive when you land at your destination on El Al, the Airports Authority may not be at blame after all. It could be the pilot's fault.
Two weeks ago an El Al captain of a Boeing 757 flying from a European destination to Israel ordered the removal of a number of passengers' suitcases from the plane to allow two El Al employees to get on the flight.
In this case, the plane had reached its weight limit and the pilot decided to leave some luggage behind. After passengers complained and the airline investigated, the pilot was severely reprimanded, though the pilots union head, Harel Halamish, said the reprimand was "unnecessarily harsh."
Airline employees and their families are alowed to fly for free or with significant discounts if there is room on the plane and conditions permit.
A spokesperson for El Al said: "The company does not comment on matters of employee relations in the media."

When San Juan's tiny San Gerónimo fort last saw hostile action, its handful of cannons repelled an invasion by more than 60 British warships in 1797. Despite its size, the coastal garrison played an unlikely yet decisive role in the defence of Puerto Rico's capital city.
Two centuries later, the historic fort is again at the heart of a battle for the Caribbean island's future. This time the warring parties are environmentalists campaigning against what they see as the continual destruction of an already overcrowded coastline, and the developers of a $250m (£145m) project to rejuvenate the ancient waterfront with a giant hotel, residential, shopping and entertainment complex.
For more than a year, protesters have camped in tents at the site as cranes and 15-storey tower blocks of luxury flats rose around them, cutting off public access to the fort that has fallen into disrepair behind padlocked iron gates.
They say that the construction is taking place on public land illegally sold by the government to a private developer, which has reneged on promises to maintain the fort and adjacent waterside walkways.
Their protests are not just about the preservation of the 17th-century stronghold and its place in history. The environmentalists have chosen the Paseo Caribe development as a pivotal stand against the intense and largely unchecked pace of growth in Puerto Rico in recent years.
"This is a strategic battle," said Miguel Angel Reyes de Jesus, one of about 100 protesters at the site demanding the demolition of buildings nearing completion.
"If they win here they will take all of the country. We must stop this for the sake of our children and those who will come after them."
Similar community activism has halted a hotel expansion project on the north coast and plans for two new huge resorts in the congested north east of the island, where protesters camped for two years.
The Puerto Rican government, surprised by the scale of public opposition and concerned by the threat to water supplies and wildlife, rescinded construction permits. Hopes that Colombian-born developer Arturo Madero's licences for Paseo Caribe project would also be revoked were raised last year when justice department secretary Roberto Sánchez Ramos declared that the government had made a mistake in allowing the complex, and neighbouring Caribe Hilton hotel, to be illegally built on public land.
In January the island's supreme court took the opposite view, removing the final legal hurdle to the project and allowing building work to surge ahead, with a caveat that the historic fort should reopen.
"San Gerónimo is a public asset that belongs to the people of Puerto Rico, and access to it should be given free of restrictions," Chief Justice Hernández Denton ruled.
So far, that has not happened. An access road through the middle of the building site is closed to all but construction traffic and an armed police officer at the fort's locked gates turns away anyone who gets too close.
"This is public land that belongs to the people of Puerto Rico and what is happening here is illegal," said Benito Reinosa, 77, an activist who joins the protest most days. "We were a small group but we have grown as people became aware of what was going on. We'll keep fighting until these buildings are demolished."
Madero, meanwhile, maintains that his company, Lema Developers, has acted properly throughout. The protesters, he has said, have nothing to do with the environment and would oppose development of any kind.
The conflict turned violent last year when a small group of construction workers attacked the camp, Reinosa said, because they were angry over losing pay when a lone protester held up building work for two weeks by climbing a crane.
"It's incredible that the authorities haven't permanently closed the camp and even more incredible that they allow the protesters to stop [our] work," said Glory Cruz, spokeswoman for Trabajadores Pro Ambiente y Empleo (workers for the environment and employment).
Dr Antonio Fernós, a lawyer and author whose book - From San Gerónimo to Paseo Caribe - chronicles the history the development from its planning stage , said the legal challenges would continue.
"These lands were public under the Spanish crown, and were treated as such when they were ceded to the United States in 1898 and then to the people of Puerto Rico in 1929," he said. "This is the looting of a cultural treasure."
San Gerónimo and the larger San Antonio fort along the San Juan islet were crucial to the successful Spanish defence of the city against a 1797 British invasion. Puerto Rico was ceded to the US after the Spanish-American War of 1898, and became a self-governing territory of the US in 1947. The San Gerónimo fort, owned by the Puerto Rico government, is in the care of the Caribe Hilton hotel.

The southwestern suburb of Willow Springs, which is more than 100 years old, finally has its first bank.
CIB Bank, a subsidiary of Central Illinois Bancorp Inc., opened a branch in the town Friday. The grand opening is Wednesday.
The southwestern suburb of Willow Springs, which is more than 100 years old, finally has its first bank.
CIB Bank, a subsidiary of Central Illinois Bancorp Inc., opened a branch in the town Friday. The grand opening is Wednesday.
"We're looking for areas where we can fill a niche," says J. Michael Straka, president and CEO of the holding company, which is based in downstate Sidney, about 15 miles from Champaign.
Joseph Gomez is manager of the new branch. He previously worked for Mid-America National Bank and Amalgamated Bank in Chicago.
Straka founded the banking firm in 1987 after a 26-year career at Marine Bank in Milwaukee.
He began by buying tiny Sidney Community Bank, which had assets of $9.4 million. Today the holding company has three banking subsidiaries with 14 offices and assets totaling $440 million.
Most of its early expansion took place downstate. The firm made its first foray into the Chicago-area market when its CIB Bank unit established a base in Hillside two years ago. It expanded to Niles last April and is building a facility in Elk Grove Village to open in September.
It also plans to open a Loop branch this fall at Wells and Adams streets, in a building formerly occupied by Bank of America.
Willow Springs has a population of 4,500, but a new United Parcel Service facility near the village is expected to employ more than 5,000 when it gets to full speed next year.
"Corporate lending is our forte," says Straka, noting that some of the firm's other offices are located near such giant businesses as Mitsubishi Motors in Bloomington-Normal and Archer Daniels Midland and A.E. Staley in Decatur.
New lobbyist: Chicago's largest bank, which once led the battles in Springfield and Washington for branch banking and other law changes, may be gearing up for a new aggressive effort.
John Currie, whom the recently merged First Chicago NBD Corp. has named senior VP and head of government relations, won't be specific about the bank's strategy.
"We'll see what makes sense at the federal and state levels," says Currie, who starts at First NBD's headquarters in Chicago Aug. 1. Currie held the same post at NBD Bancorp in Detroit, which he joined last October.
The job of chief lobbyist had been vacant at First Chicago Corp. since Susan K. Gordy left five years ago to form a consulting firm. But former chairman Richard L. Thomas continued to press for banking law changes when he headed the Bankers Roundtable in 1994.
Gordy remains an outside consultant to First NBD in Springfield and Washington along with two other consultants in Indiana and the nation's capital.
Currie has a long record of experience in dealing with government entities. Before he went to NBD, Currie was president of Michigan First Inc. since 1993, when it was created by Michigan Gov. John Engler as a private-public partnership to attract businesses to the state. He spent 25 years with Michigan Bell, AT&T and Ameritech and also had short stints with the Reagan and Bush administrations.
The battles for statewide and interstate branching have been won. But Currie undoubtedly will take up the decades-old fight to revise or repeal the 1933 Glass-Steagall Act, which keeps banks from the insurance and securities brokerage fields.
Business beat: CNA Insurance Cos. confirms it will move operations of the former Continental Insurance Co. from the building at 200 S. Wacker Dr. It acquired the firm in May 1995. A CNA spokesman says 250 to 300 employees "will move to one or several other locations," without saying if that includes CNA's headquarters at 333 S. Wabash Ave. He also declines to give a timetable for the move. The real estate firm of Goldie B. Wolfe & Co. was retained to sublease the 260,000 square feet on 15 floors that will be vacated.
The Chicago Mercantile Exchange says trading in its new butter futures contract will start in early September. It last traded in butter futures in 1976.
The Chicago-based Strategic Leadership Forum, an organization of 6,000 executives around the world, has established an award to recognize individuals with long records of "innovation, vision and strategic leadership." It's called the Peter F. Drucker Strategic Leadership Award, named for the management guru. The first recipient last month was Peter F. Drucker.

December 2005 Demand for Workers Soared 43% Against Year Before
Biggest increase was in sales, service personnel; demand for farm workers dropped
Demand for workers via the Employment Service soared to 25,400 in December 2005, compared with 17,800 in the same month of 2004. That translates into an increase of 43%.
Against the month before, November 2005, the December increase is 4.5%, said Esther Dominicini, general manager of the Employment Service.
Part of the increase is technical, she added: from December the service started handling foreign worker requests by hotels.
That said, the long-term trend looks positive. "From 2004, the number of workers required in the labor market has been increasing compared with the preceding four years," Dominicini said. Companies are hiring as they expand because of Israel's economic upswing, she added.
The biggest increases in December 2005 compared with the year before were in Tel Aviv, 3,592 people; Jerusalem, 1,992; Haifa, 1233; Beer Sheba, 1,217; Ashkelom, 963; Petah Tikva, 933; and Rishon Letzion, 881 people.
The sharpest increase was in Eilat, where demand climbed 1,315% year over year, including through hotels seeking foreign labor. In second place was the southern Sharon area, including Petah Tikva and Herzliya, where demand increased by 98.5%. In third place was Haifa, where demand increased by 97.2%.
In Tel Aviv demand increased by 48.1% and against the trend is the Jezreel Valley, where demand dropped by 8%.
Just over half, 52.4%, was for expert jobs, and the rest for unskilled labor.
Broken down by sector, demand for sales and services personnel grew the most in December versus the year before, by 78.9%. In second place was demand for academics, which increased by 53.6%. The only sector in which demand dropped, by 1.1%, was agricultural workers.

I got a call from the Captain the other day. He was in New York on business, could he come by? He is an ex, a dad to twins. We hadn't seen each other in the last few years, but we kept in warm if intermittent touch.
We had dated around my 30th birthday when I discovered the thing my mother always said but I never believed: I was pretty. The Big Love of My 20s and I had just parted ways for all the right reasons and shortly thereafter I was dating Captain Everything. He was an athlete. He traveled the world to compete in club games and was the team captain of every sport he played ever.
Nothing much happened between us. The night my first book was canceled he stayed the night so it wasn't just the last day of my career, it was the first day I got to see the Captain naked. I smiled the whole time, he says. If there were team captains at my high school, I did not know them. I went to a college whose mascot was an extremely large drum. We stayed friends.
Captain: This is so nice. I never do this anymore, just sit and talk with a bottle of wine.
Me: Gosh, I do this all the time. I call it Tuesday. Also, Thursday. Saturday lunch, too.
He told me cute stories about the kids, I told him sad stories about dating.
Captain: I haven't had sex in eighteen months.
Me: Your wife owns a Michelangelo. She has to look at it. Those are the rules.
He got explicit: This was a proposition.
He and his wife were my favorite happy ending. The Captain wouldn't settle down and then couldn't wait to be married when he found her. It was six months to the altar. I wanted that story to be true.
Then again, he was a talented athlete in bed too.
Captain: Marriage isn't what you think it is, Sarah. You think you meet the right person and everything works out. Instead, you meet the right person and spend every morning at 3a.m. worrying if it will work out.
Me: I'm pretty sure that your 3a.m.s are still better than getting hit on by married guys who didn't want me the first time around.
Captain: Why didn't I want you? You love sex.
Me: You liked being single with a six-pack too much.
Captain: My wife seemed to really like sex when we were dating. You're lucky to be single.
The Captain remembers life before marriage as one in which the distance between sex acts could be measured in minutes, not years. It is nothing like that, of course. This has been a long, slow season in Sarahworld, with not nearly enough action. I retired my speed-dial steadies; they were junk food. I figured if I'm hungry, I'll seek nourishment.
I am starving.
At a certain point in the dating project, most men flirting with me were other women's husbands. Everyone had gotten married and I hadn't. Many had married poorly. Some were just jerks. Global opinion suggests this makes me a strumpet, as if tomcats and cuckolds play no part in this drama. The institution of marriage needs monogamy. The Captain really needed to get laid.
Would I help a friend out? Would you?

On the auction block is the perfect gift for the vintage pipe collector. It is a meerschaum, or stone pipe, unusual and beautifully hand carved, depicting a slender lady's hand holding the bowl. The pipe is in fantastic condition, with no chips or cracks whatsoever. The detail of the carving is wonderful, down to the fingernails, ruffled cuff and tiny button. The finish is very smooth and it retains all warm patina. It nestles comfortably into its carved wooden box which carries a pyro mark on the bottom for the Edmond pipe company of Eugene Oregon. The stem is black and may be bakelite, but it too is in excellent condition. The pipe does draw but not nearly as freely as it should, so it needs a good cleaning by someone who knows how. The pipe measures over 5 inches from fingertip to stem tip and the box measures 8 x 3 x 2". The pipe has been used very lightly, not at all excessively. This pipe will be a pleasure to smoke or put on display or both.

NAFCU Asks for SBA's Support
In its continued pitch to drum up support for an increase in the member business lending cap, NAFCU has reached out to SBA Administrator Karen Mills.
The trade group said it has been a long-time supporter of the SBA's lending programs, wrote NAFCU President/CEO Fred Becker in a Sept. 7 letter to Mills.
"As you know, small businesses employ half of all private sector employees, and they are a key to job creation and our nation's economical success. Unfortunately, as small businesses try to navigate through the tough economic landscape, the same large financial institutions that caused the difficulty economic conditions have reduced their small business lending," Becker wrote.
The need for raising the MBL cap from 12.25% to 27.5% of assets is urgent given the Commerce Department's recently lowering its second quarter estimate for U.S. gross domestic product growth from 2.4% annual rate to 1.6%, Becker said. He reminded Mills of pending legislation that would lift the cap.
"Raising the member business lending restriction would unlock another lending resource for struggling small businesses," Becker wrote.

Fantasy Press Release
Tuesday, April 24, 2012
Neil Degrasse Tyson is Actually Fed Up
Neil Degrasse Tyson is done being nice. In a recent press release, he has stated the he is tired of being nice when dealing with morons. Tyson is known a a generally nice guy, he makes appearances on several cable television shows talking about the universe and science. While he generally holds back words, he has now stated that he is going to work completely blue. He will be throwing out, "plenty of f-bombs" to anyone who "considers evolution to be a friggin' choice." He will also love to debate climate change with anyone, as long as he gets a 7 second delay and free range to cuss as much as possible.
Michael Jordon's Shoes
Today, Michael Jordan discussed what he feels about his shoes. In a surprising press release, Jordan stated that he has just made enough money on his shoes and will no longer make them. He stated that it really was ridiculous to pay $150 dollars for a pair of shoes just because they had his name on it. "Why pay so much for my shoes? Children and their parents should be spending that money on books, instruments, fitness equipment, healthy food, or anything that would make your life more enjoyable. I really have enough money anyway." He then decided to donate the money from last year's shoes to the children and their families that actually make the shoes. This is a great step forward the aging basketball star, who has generally been known to be quite stingy with his cash.

Redskins Propelled by Goal Line Stand
11.04.2013 / Blog Posts Redskins

Stephen Czarda, Redskins Staff Blogger
On Sunday, the Washington Redskins hosted over 100 alumni at the annual homecoming game against the San Diego Chargers.
Despite honoring the 1987 squad that won Super Bowl XXII in the most lopsided game in Super Bowl history at the time, the 2013 Redskins had their second-straight nail-biting home victory.
Up 24-21 with a little over two minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Chargers marched down the field and appeared to score the game-winning touchdown with 21 seconds left. However, after an official ruling overturned the original call, the Chargers had the ball on the one-yard line with a fresh set of downs.
[Overturned call: A touchdown is when the ball crosses the plane. On this play, the receiver's foot hit the orange pylon that defines the end zone's boundary, but the ball did not.]
That's the furthest they'd go on the drive.
After thwarting running back Danny Woodhead's up the gut run on first down and defending the pass beautifully on second and third downs, the Chargers had to settle for a game-tying field goal.
In overtime, the Redskins won the coin toss.
Then they won the game.
Marching 80 yards down the field behind several crisp Robert Griffin III passes and strong runs from Alfred Morris, fullback Darrel Young punched in his third touchdown of the day to give the Redskins their third victory of the season.
Griffin III had a solid day through the air, connecting on 23 of his 32 passes for 291 yards. He added 17 yards on the ground to include a 10-yard run on a key third down attempt where he lunged into the air over several defenders.
Morris had his best statistical game of the season, rushing 25 times for 121 yards. The Redskins are now 10-1 when he records at least 20 carries.
One week after vocalizing his frustrations of the passing game's ineptness, wide receiver Pierre Garcon recorded a career-high 172 yards on only seven catches to include an acrobatic one-handed catch early in the third quarter.
Defensively, the burgundy and gold were led by E.J. Biggers and David Amerson with interceptions and veteran linebacker London Fletcher who recorded a season-high 13 tackles.
The Redskins don't have much time to salivate the victory as they travel to Minnesota to battle the Vikings (1-7) on Thursday Night Football. The Redskins defeated the Vikings last season 38-26 behind Griffin III's memorable 76-yard touchdown run.
It's our turn.

Sexy looking little number
Reviewed: 02 April 2011 by Pixie_Murree, a Straight Going Steady Female
Let me start by saying, this set had my OH on his knees!
I have got the black version of this set and I love the way it makes me feel very sexy indeed.
The bustier consists of all over black lace with ribbon laced up the front and ruffles on the cups and around the hips. It is boned, which adds support but isn't restrictive and does up at the back with lots of hooks and eyes. You can choose out of 3 different levels of tightness as well as pulling in the ribbon lacing to make it tighter. There are detachable suspender straps which have an impressive adjustability range
I'm a size 8 and 32b bust so I went for the small size and found it to be a perfect fit on the tightest fastening and without adjusting the ribbon lacing down the front. The cup size was perfect for me too. I believe it would comfortably fit a size 6-10 but the cup size would probably be a bit too tight for anyone with more of a bust. There is room in the cups if needed but the trim along the top of the cups has no give so might cut in. When the bustier came the suspender straps came down to my knees but on the smallest length they would be perfect for me (about mid thigh).
The material looks slightly cheap but is actually quite soft. I always think of lace as being starched and scratchy which this wasn't. I was very surprised about how comfortable it was to wear. It's well made too - I don't feel it'll pull apart at the seams rolling around in it.
The only downside with this set is the thong. It's very cheap and not well made at all. It was also way too big for me and gave me a baggy under-carriage! But it is a small part of the set and I think anyone buying the set would be buying for the bustier. It would also be very easy to buy a separate thong to match in.
Going back to the start of the review - I put this on as a surprise for my OH and when he walked in the room I can honestly say he struggled for words (and balance!). That made me feel amazingly sexy indeed.
- Pros
- Very flattering and well made.
- Cons
- The thong!
- Bottom line
- A well made bustier which flatters the figure and is surprisingly comfortable.

Pretty Paisley Bustier
Reviewed: 31 January 2011 by Alicia D'amore, a Straight Engaged Female
This beautiful Paisley bustier arrived, as usual, quickly and discreetly from the ever fabulous Lovehoney. It comes in a plastic packet with a piece of card showing the product photo and name. Not an especially glamourous packaging but it's practical and keeps the item safe. It has a popper fastening too so it'd be useful as an underwear drawer tidy to keep any bits and bobs together.
The look and feel
The bustier itself is lovely. The paisley pattern is really pretty and the colour is a lovely vivid red. There's one frill on the cups and three on the hips and there's ribbon laced up the front. It fastens at the back and comes with 4 detachable suspender straps, the shoulder straps are nice but not detachable which would have been a nice addition for those who like to cross straps over or wear one as a halterneck. Once on, it looks lovely, a really flattering piece, the frills soften it whilst the vivid red makes it look powerful and sexy. The lace pattern is see through enough to show sexy skin through it and the cups look lovely. It's really comfortable too - hugs the figure perfectly without being tight and uncomfortable.
The fit
The material is cheap (nylon and spandex) but I think in this case it's a good thing - it still feels fabulous on the skin but there's a lot of give in the material meaning it'll fit a whole range of figures. This is especially nice on the cups, it fits my teeny 30C cups perfectly but I think it'd easily fit a B/C (and maybe even a small D) cup because of the give in the material. The cups are underwired too adding a little support and extra comfort.
I went for a medium, which was risky as I'm usually more of a small (I'm 8-10) - but it has 3 levels of tightness at the back (hook and eye fastenings) and the ribbon at the front can be tightened - it's not a restrictive item, certainly not designed to slim the waist - but the ribbon can be tightened considerably if it's a touch too big.
The piece is boned with a very light plastic boning encased in a comfortable felt like material - again, it's not designed to suck you in but it's comfortable and lightly supportive. The boning stops at hip level too so that's good for those of us with curvy hips!
The suspender straps are very long - at full length the almost reached my knees but at the shortest point stopped just passed mid thigh - the amount of adjustability means they will be great for tall women and shorter women a like! They are slightly longer than the average suspender strap.
The build
The item is made really well, the stitching seems secure and the material feels lovely (despite its slight cheapness). You do have to be very careful storing this item being a hook and eye fastening with a paisley lace - it'd very easily snag, but it's generally well made.
The thong
I don't know why they insist with the blooming awful thongs! It's cheap and badly made but it is comfortable and well fitting.
Overall, a beautiful, well made, comfortable and sexy piece that would easily fit a whole range of sizes - the medium comfortably fits me an 8-10 and I'm confident it'd fit a size 12 (or possibly slightly larger too) comfortably. The price is pretty good too! £30 is a bit dear for me, but as a Valentine's gift it'd be ideal for that special someone!
- Pros
- The good sizing, the comfort, the colour.
- Cons
- The cheap thong and slightly cheap material.
- Bottom line
- Beautiful, well made, comfortable and sexy piece that would easily fit a whole range.

Daniel F. Jacoby
Bothell Campus
Analysis of markets: consumer demand, production, exchange, the price system, resource allocation, government intervention. Recommended: B CUSP 123. Offered: AWSp.
Class description
Student learning goals
Economics is a another way of understanding the world. Students learn how markets work and they affect almost everything we do. You just might never be the same after you've taken it.
To understand when and how human behavior is predictable. Could you have guessed I'd say that?
Yes, its true, economics requires mastery of some important graphing and modeling ideas. Embrace that and you just might find it helps you get into graduate school or secure a job! But, you know, that's not the main point.
We'll dig into that long-running debate about individual freedom vs. the collective good. Economics is part philosophy, part psychology, part history and part politics. Most folks can find a part that interests them.
General method of instruction
Recommended preparation
The fewer preconceptions you bring to this course, the better.
Class assignments and grading
The course requires you to learn the concepts that define the economic world, build and manipulate market models using those concepts, and apply those models to new situations.
In consequence it pays not to be too creative in assignments. Mostly you read the text, participate in class, and gain practice through assignments...its a very old school approach, but effective. Occasionally you'll be asked to search out situations in which economic theory applies (curiously, they are everywhere including schooling, the web, and family).
You show me you've mastered class objectives on tests, and I'll put some numbers on your transcript that you can be proud of.

FORT WASHINGTON, PA JANUARY 1, 2004 . . . Two time NASCAR Nextel Cup champion Terry Labonte went 156 races before winning the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway this past Labor Day weekend. It was a popular victory for the veteran driver and it topped off a great season that saw the Kellogg's sponsored racer return to the top ten in the final Nextel Cup point standings.
Labonte, along with his son Justin, will be at the Motorsports 2004 Presented by Sunoco show at the Fort Washington, PA Expo Center chatting with fans and signing autographs from 2 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, January 18th.
The show, set for three days and covering close to 300,000 square feet of the Expo Center, will open at 1 p.m. on Friday, January 16th and continues through 6 p.m. on Sunday, January 18th.
Justin Labonte, Terry's 22-year-old son, will be running a 15-race schedule of NASCAR Busch Series events in 2004 using a Dodge and carrying sponsorship from the United States Coast Guard. Justin's team will be housed in the Trinity, NC shop that was built by his dad back in 1990 and has had many winning efforts come out of it.
Terry will be back in the Rick Hendrick owned Kellogg's sponsored Chevy as he tries for a third NASCAR Nextel Cup title. The former champion is part of the "over 40" group that seems to be disappearing from Nextel Cup competition but continues to be one of the most popular talents on the circuit.
In addition to the Labontes, Robert Huffman, the last NASCAR Dash Series Champion, will be signing autographs at the Toyota display, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on opening day of the show. Huffman will part of a Toyota supporting racing effort on the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series circuit.
Legendary Nextel Cup owner Junie Donlavey, a fan favorite, will be signing autographs from 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, January 17th. Recently added to the list of national racing talents to be at the show is Greg Sacks, 1985 winner of the Daytona Firecracker 400. Sacks will be doing autographs from 2 to 4 p.m. on Sunday. Both Sacks and Donlavey will be at the Tommy Gale Haulmark Trailer display.
Former Winston Cup racer Harry Gant joins open cockpit star turned stock car racer J.J.Yeley and World of Outlaws talent Tyler Walker, current Nextel Cup champion Matt Kenseth, former NASCAR Winston Cup champion Bobby Allison, Busch Series racer Tim Fedewa, and Winston Cup ace Dave Blaney along with a long list of outstanding local and regional racing stars.
There is plenty more for the auto racing fan with more than 150 motorsports vehicles on display.
The three day show covers close to 300,000 square feet of exhibit space with more than 600 display areas covering just about everything imaginable in motorsports.

When is it ok to tell your buddy his new wife...

I realized that this thread is still open, therefore, my tag links to a post I can edit freely. I have decided to abuse this power.
I've had some regrets about the Butterchurner. For one, I realize now that the material really couldn't be done justice in such a short format, as obviously it lends itself to a novel. Secondly, I now see that the story isn't solely erotic, and really, if you look at the text, the logical way to take it was in an action/adventure story. Finally, William wasn't right for Donna. I don't know what I was thinking. It basically goes against the entire message of the story. So, I'm going to try to give Donna her due and write a full-length novel version of the Butterchurner with everything the original lacked. This could take awhile, and it's going to start off kind of slow so please be patient.
The Butterchurner: Unabridged Edition
==Chapter One: An Amish Girl Named Donna==
The crow had stayed in place for some time now. Donna had sighted the bird earlier, when she went to milk Martha, the family cow. The crow was rested upon the post before the trail. The dark feathered creature eyed her, as if to study her. It was a peculiar beast. There was a feeling that it must have had a sense of purpose. As if someone had sent the bird to be there, at that very moment.
Donna tried to pay the animal no mind and went through her chores, as any good Amish girl should be expected. But now, as the sun began to rest, the animal remained. Unmoved for hours. The orange light struck it in a way that made it appear larger than it truly was. Donna was not afraid of the creature, merely fascinated. Once her chores were done, she leaned against the front porch pillar and watched for awhile, as if the stupid bird was going to do something interesting. Finally, after some time, the crow cawed. It's fearsome cry could be heard clear as day, before it took flight and vanished in the tree line.
"Crow cawing at dusk!" a frail, shaky voice suddenly spat out. Donna was startled by the sudden breaking of silence. "Tis an omen of death," Granma Miriam said as she shakily made her way to her chair on the porch. Donna went to help her grandmother to her seat, but the stubborn old woman batted her away. "You watch. By daybreak, death will come. Sure as scriptures."
"You mustn't speak of such things, Grandmother," Donna said in her calm, sweet voice. "Father says such predictions tread upon the blasphemous."
"Your father," Granma Miriam said with a hint of disgust. "Stubborn as a mule, and only twice as wise. I know he says my mind is gone. Well, we'll see. We'll see."
The sun began to draw back behind the trees, and disappeared under the horizon. Only the small remains of a dissipating orange hue hung in the sky, as night began to creep forth.
"Death is coming," Granma Miriam repeated her thoughts with an assured nod. "I can feel it lingering by. Only a matter of who it's come for."
Donna ignored her insane and odorous grandmother's doom saying and let the thoughts roll off her back. She took another look out into the woods and made a wistful sigh, thinking about how trapped she felt in this Amish way of life. But her introspection was soon disturbed by a call from her mother.
"Yes, mother," Donna replied. Without waiting for a response, she walked back inside the house and made her way to the kitchen, where her mother was setting out a meal for the family.
"Donna, dear, fetch a pail of water for us," Donna's mother Ruth commanded. "And call for Jakob and Martha to come inside to eat."
"Yes, mother."
Donna obeyed and grabbed the pail, heading out back. As she made her way across the field, she saw her younger siblings, playing about in the dirt. She called to them, "Head inside now, you two. It's time for supper." The children quickly dusted themselves off and chased each other to the back door like a couple of children, because they were in-fact a couple of children, and really it was to be expected of them.
The pump rested at the top of a hill, where one could look down and see all of the Amish community. From here, Donna watched as her neighbors went about their business. This was one of her few means of entertainment that was not forbidden by her father, and to most people it would be very boring, but to Donna, it was also only moderately boring, which in Amish perspective was somewhat interesting. It was getting dark and the people became silhouettes. Donna began to pump water into the pail and soon made her way back home.
The family gathered at the table, which her father had built with his own two hands just last Summer. It was a fine table as far as tables go. Donna's mother took the water and poured everyone something to drink. As Donna took her seat, her father Jebediah entered. He was a large, towering man with a foreboding presence. He had to duck under the doorframe as he walked in, and every step he took seemed to echo through the house.
"Smells fine, wife," Jebediah said to Ruth. He walked over and kissed her forehead before taking the final plates from her and setting them before Granma Miriam and Martha. As he did so, Jakob reached forward and picked up a pea from a bowl in the center of the table, preparing to eat it. Jebediah saw it and quickly, pointed to him. "You'll be getting the switch. Not until the blessing." Jakob dropped the pea and tried to look innocent.
Jebediah took his place at the head of the table, between his mother and Donna. Ruth soon took her place at the opposite end and everyone held hands.
"Heavenly Father, we give you thanks for this food that we are about to eat. And may we forever be your humble Amish servants. Amen," Jebediah said frankly before taking a roll and placing it on his plate. He took the saucer of rolls and handed it to Donna who took one and passed the dish on.
As the family continued to prepare their plates, Ruth asked Jebediah, "Did you get all of the plowing done today."
"I did," Jebediah said as he placed a scoop of peas on his plate. "Should be a fine harvest come autumn." He passed the bowl along. "I will be needing to head to market tomorrow. Our reins have worn down to nothing, and I know John was running low on leather. I'll take some of your needlework with me to trade. Donna, I'll be needing your help as well."
Donna tried to hide her smile. "Yes, father," she said. She always longed to see the outside world, and her father's trips to the market had been her only means of doing so. It had been months since she'd last seen any signs of the modern era, and she was thankful for a chance to end the monotony.
The meal continued as would be expected and once everyone was finished, Donna assisted her mother in clearing the table, which again, not to oversell the thing, but it was a really nice table, with a fine brown finish that was as smooth as marble. Just a really good table.
Once the table was cleared Donna walked onto the porch where the family was already sitting around, doing Amish things. Jebediah read from an almanac and her younger siblings played jacks or something. Eventually Granma Miriam started to sing an old hymn and the family enjoyed it. Donna, however, found it difficult to be involved. She feigned interest, but inside her mind she was miles away.
"I suppose it's time for bed," Jebediah stated as he clapped his book closed. "Rest well, Donna, as we have quite a day tomorrow."
Donna nodded, "Yes, father." She smiled with genuine glee. It had been months since she had left the community and the thoughts of modern society danced around in her head.
The family all began to drift inside and to their respective rooms in the house. Donna, for the first time in her life, has been given her own room after the death of her aunt last year. While she was certainly remorseful for the loss, she was thankful to finally have some privacy away from her siblings. She went upstairs to her room, across from her parents' room, and prepared the arduous task of changing into her nightgown.
Once the house had fallen quiet, Donna paid special edition to the pocket watch on her nightstand. She watched the minute hand in the moonlight from her window. She watched as it budged ever-so-slowly. Finally thirty minutes had passed, and she felt safe. Donna cautiously crept out of her bed. Her bare feet met with the floor planks and she tiptoed across her room. In the dark, she knelt down and pushed on the wall until she found the loose plank. It was the perfect hideaway, and you'd never know it was there. Donna had discovered it years earlier when she was a child, spying on her aunt who used the spot to hide sweets. With the plank pulled away, Donna removed the jewelry box of her contraband.
Donna removed the Walkman cassette player and dug around in her limited library of tapes until she found the one she was looking for. Taking a careful look at her door and listening for any commotion, she stepped to her window. She slid the window open, making sure to be perfectly silent. From her window she could step out onto the awning above their house's front porch. She lied down on her back and looked up at the starry sky, completely free of light pollution-- one of the few genuine perks of being Amish. This was her refuge.
The cassette clicked into the player and Donna shut the lid. The ear buds fit perfectly into her ears. She pressed play.
An explosion of music. Her mind suddenly ascended.
"A modern day warrior
Mean, mean stride
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean, mean pride"
Donna closed her eyes and let the music take her away, rocking her foot back and forth with the beat. Far from all of this Amishness. For approximately four minutes and thirty seconds, she was free.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7 (UPI) -- The full moon will sail through Earth's shadow late Saturday, creating for a brief time an event called a lunar eclipse.
Skywatchers on every continent except Australia will be able to see the phenomenon, which like a solar eclipse is caused by Earth's shadow blocking sunlight from reaching a portion of the moon's surface.
A lunar eclipse is different from its solar counterpart, however, because observers do not need to wear protective glasses to view it safely.
This eclipse, the second of 2003, will be lighter than the first one, astronomers say. The moon will remain relatively bright, and there will be a pleasing color gradient across its face, going from pale white on one side to crimson red on the other.
For places and times to view the eclipse, go to NASA's Eclipse Home page: sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/eclipse.html.

EGR ALSO DEALING WITH GM: Earnhardt Ganassi Racing President Steve Lauletta said that team officials have met with GM "to go over what GM will be able to provide the team." Lauletta: "We haven't gone into having conversations about 2010 yet, so as of right now we've got to sit down and talk to them and look at our options and kind of determine the best course of action." Lauletta added that the team "continues to search for sponsorship to get Aric Almirola back in some Cup races this season." Driver Martin Truex Jr. is a free agent after this season, but Lauletta said that it "is 'the plan' for Truex's sponsor, Bass Pro Shops, to be with the team next year." Meanwhile, in Norfolk, Dustin Long reports Michael Waltrip Racing has scheduled a July 7 press conference in which it is expected Truex will be "announced as Michael Waltrip's replacement beginning next season" (Norfolk VIRGINIAN-PILOT, 6/29). Lauletta: "If something happened where we didn't re-sign Martin, then we would be having dialogue with Bass Pro on who takes the seat. When, if that time comes, we'll be doing that as quick as we have to" (SCENEDAILY.com, 6/28).

One alternative is for "one of the drivers to switch to Yates Racing," as RFR has an "existing partnership with Yates" (BOSTON GLOBE, 6/29). Meanwhile, JTG/Daugherty Racing co-Owner Tad Geschickter said that the team "will not be able to field a fulltime entry" in the Nationwide Series beyond Friday's Subway Jalapeno 250 at Daytona Int'l Speedway "unless additional sponsorship is found." Geschickter: "We had money to run half the races and we had to make a choice whether to spread those races out or frontload them and hope to get enough money to run the second half." In Charlotte, Jim Utter noted so far "no additional money has been found to sustain driver Michael McDowell's fulltime effort." McDowell currently ranks 11th in the Nationwide Series standings. Geschickter said that his Nationwide team "will still occasionally compete in the second half of the season" (CHARLOTTE OBSERVER, 6/28).

BALTIMORE, Dec. 8 (UPI) -- Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has been taken to a hospital for tests on an injured ankle, Fox Sports reported Sunday.
The broadcaster said the NFL's leading rusher, who was hurt during the snow-filled first half of Sunday's game at Baltimore, was transported from the stadium to a local hospital for magnetic resonance imaging tests on the ankle.
Peterson was hurt while being tackled along the sidelines in deep snow at M&T Bank Stadium. He was seen walking under his own power along the sidelines before leaving for the trainer's room.
Peterson was listed as questionable for the start due to a strained groin.
He had racked up 1,206 yards on 261 carries with 10 touchdowns entering Sunday's games.

In case you missed our last post, which you can go back and read by clicking here, Tatu-derm is a transparent waterproof bacterial barrier that protects new tattoos better than any aftercare method ever has . . . with a lot less hassle. It keeps tattoos safe from abrasions and infections when they're most vulnerable, protecting your health and artistic investment without putting it at risk. But you don't have to take our word for it. Thousands of tattoo studios all over the world have begun utilizing Tatu-derm and recommending it as the premier aftercare solution to their customers. Al Garcia @tattooalgarcia Stay True Tattoos It's not as new as you may think either. When asked about Tatu-derm, Al Garcia from Stay True Tattoos said, "I've been using Tatu-derm for close to 4 years now. The first year I'd only use it on larger scale tattoos but, after seeing how great the results were, I started using it on all my clients!" Al Garcia, like most tattoo artists, had a pretty hard time with tattoo aftercare before Tatu-derm came along. "Prior to using Tatu-derm I had a pretty elaborate tattoo aftercare I'd give my clients. The aftercare instructions were long and thorough but there were just too many variables of things that could go wrong once the client left the studio." What Al's talking about is an all too familiar scenario to us all. The most common practice utilized by most tattoo artists has been to apply gauze directly to ...Read More »

With a power play shooting blanks and a penalty kill thats getting killed, both ends of the Oilers special teams are a concern for head coach Tom Renney.
The latest attempt at a fix might include adding Taylor Halls speed and energy to the penalty kill.
It came close to doing it last game, said Renney. I thought of it a little late. This is one of those years where we can kind of do those things.
Hall hasnt killed penalties in the NHL, but did a ton of it in junior, so its not entirely foreign.
I was out there every second shift on the PK (in Windsor), he said. It would be a great opportunity. And not only that, but when we do get into penalty trouble it allows me to get out there and get my legs so Im not just kind of sitting there.
If he feels its best for the team Ill go out there and do the best job I can.
Getting more shots through from the point would help on the power play, but Kurtis Foster is getting a lot of his low, hard drives blocked.
I think he should shoot about this high, said Renney, holding a hand at eye level. Then hed get a lot more shots. Seriously.
Sheldon (Souray) was indiscriminate when it came to shooting the puck. Everybody was bailing out because it was coming. That might not be a bad idea.

With the teary-eyed killer looking on, the parents of two slain teenage girls told a California courtroom of the beauty and decency of their children, and then a woman who survived one of his attacks urged the judge to banish him from their world.
Minutes later Friday the judge complied, sentencing John Albert Gardner III to two life terms without possibility of parole for murdering Chelsea King, 17, and Amber Dubois, 14, and a third life term with a 25-year minimum for the attempted rape of Candice Moncayo, a jogger who escaped by smashing him in the nose with an elbow.
Gardner, 31, breathed heavily and cried at times during the emotional statements, delivered by family members just before Superior Court Judge David Danielsen sentenced him.
"Chelsea was everything this man was not," said Brent King, the father of one of the victims. "She was as good as this man is evil."
Amber devoured books, adored animals and stood in pouring rain because she loved nature, said her mother, Carrie McGonigle.
Amber's backpack was filled with Valentine's Day cards for friends on the day she was abducted while walking to school in suburban Escondido in February 2009, McGonigle said. The Future Farmers of America member was also carrying a check to buy a lamb, she said.
Brent King said it was especially bittersweet to receive acceptance letters recently from all 11 colleges to which Chelsea had applied before her death in February.
He said he loved changing his daughter's diapers and, years later, talking with her about global issues, competition, life's pressures and her dreams. They marveled at the beauty of plants and animals and joked about God's sense of humor in creating the platypus, he said.
Gardner, who reached a plea deal last month that spared him the death penalty, cried during a video of Amber's life. He showed a flash of anger when Moncayo, asked about his smashed nose, veering from her prepared remarks.
Moncayo said she came to ask "to remove this man from our world, to make us a little safer by locking him up permanently and to finally free us from the nightmare he created."
Gardner raised his head when Kelly King, Chelsea's mother, demanded that she look at him. He refused when she asked him a second time.
"Why am I not surprised?" she said.
Gardner's crimes have sparked a far-reaching review of how California deals with sex predators, a campaign that advocates hope to take to Washington, D.C., and to state legislatures.
Chelsea's parents are leading a campaign for "Chelsea's Law" to allow life sentences for some convicted child molesters in California and lifetime electronic monitoring of others. The bill, which cleared its first legislative committee last month, would also ban sex offenders from parks.
The Kings on Friday also blamed Gardner's mother, Catherine Osborn, for failing to stop her son, who served five years of a six-year prison sentence for molesting a 13-year-old neighbor in 2000.
Brent King, turning to address her in her front-row seat, said she would always bear "our pain on your soul."
"She knew what you were capable of and did nothing," Kelly King said.
Osborn dabbed her face with tissue as McGonigle described her devastating loss. McGonigle said she often obsessed about her daughter's final moments.
"Was she scared? Was she calling my name? No one can appreciate the horror that is my life until they can appreciate the joy that was my Amber," she said.
Calls to stiffen penalties for child sex offenders began almost the moment Gardner was arrested Feb. 28, three days after he attacked Chelsea on an afternoon run in San Diego, strangled her, and buried her in a shallow, lakeside grave.
The discovery of Chelsea's semen-stained clothing during a massive search quickly led authorities to Gardner. Days later, he led investigators to Amber's remains in a remote, mountainous area north of San Diego.
The case has also put California's parole system under the microscope, and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has ordered a state board to review the system.
Gardner faced a maximum of nearly 11 years in prison for molesting his neighbor in 2000, but prosecutors called for six years. A court-appointed psychiatrist urged the maximum sentence allowed by law. He said in court documents that Gardner was a "continued danger to underage girls" and "an extremely poor candidate" for treatment.
Gardner lived little more than a football field's length from a San Diego preschool for at least 16 months while on parole from 2005 to 2008. That violated a condition of parole that prohibited him from living within a half-mile of a school.
A corrections department official let him stay until his lease expired in 2006 but no one noticed he was still living there until a year later.

Target's smallest store ever will open this month near the University of Minnesota.
At 20,000 square feet, the TargetExpress store will be about a sixth of the size of a typical Target store. The relatively tiny Target, on southeast 5th Street, is scheduled to open July 23.
The retailer says the new store will help the company gain new insights about when, where and how customers want to be served.
As retail competition has stiffened, Target has been opening smaller stores in urban settings. The retailer has opened eight somewhat downsized CityTarget stores in Chicago, Los Angeles and other markets.
Walmart has several hundred neighborhood stores of less than 40,000 square feet.

WINNIPEG - Somebody in the NHL hockey operations department obviously missed the memo.
You know, the one that said the leagues return to Winnipeg, making it seven teams in Canada, is the feel-good story of the year.
Because it appears, barring a last-minute development, the Jets will be the only team not represented at the shindig commonly known as the all-star celebrations, later this week.
And the things being held in the nations capital, no less.
In case you missed it, defenceman Dustin Byfuglien was officially scratched, Monday, due to his ongoing knee problem.
Replacing Byfuglien is Pittsburghs Kris Letang, leaving Winnipeg on the outside, looking in.
This calls for an inquiry.
Even the lowly Columbus Blue Jackets, in last place, overall, have a representative, in 19-year-old Ryan Johansen, a rookie selection.
The moribund Edmonton Oilers, drifting along in 29th place, didnt have a healthy representative until Monday, when Jordan Eberle was added, replacing the injured Mikko Koivu of Minnesota.
That could have left the Wild out of it, but the league added Minnesota forward Nick Johnson to the rookie section, replacing injured Oilers young star Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.
Johnson is 26, so at least hell be able to teach the other rookies how to shave.
The league could have added someone like Eric Fehr, instead. Hes 26, and playing like a rookie.
Its not like the rookies are actually playing, anyway. Or like the game has any credibility.
Hell, Byfuglien hasnt even been the Jets best defenceman this season, but the NHL chose him over Zach Bogosian, probably so it could have him go head-to-head with Zdeno Chara in the hardest shot competition.
Why let the facts get in the way of a good show, right?
Apparently, though, the hockey ops department missed another memo, the one explaining how day-to-day actually means indefinitely when it comes to the Jets injury report.
So while the league was prepared to see Byfuglien limp into the all-star game with a minus-8 rating, the Jets dont want him hobbling to Ottawa with a bad leg.
Itll be just like the last 15 all-star games, then, with nary a mention of Winnipeg. Almost as if the Jets never returned at all.
Never mind that nobody on the Jets roster actually deserves to go. You telling me the hometown Senators deserve four starters? Or that Leafs defenceman Dion Phaneuf should be the fifth?
If fans can vote them in, then all bets are off.
I can think of a few Jets whod fit right in. After all, theres no hitting, right? And defensive play doesnt matter.
They could have had an all-social-media team instead of a bunch of rookies that arent playing, anyway. What could be more relevant in 2012 than that?
The Jets, after all, are one of the NHL leaders in having players on Twitter. Id put Evander Kanes followers up against anyones.
A tweet-off would be just as entertaining as the skills competition. And nearly as relevant.
Come to think of it, its just as well the Jets wont have anybody in Ottawa.
This team needs all the rest it can get if it wants to challenge for a playoff spot.
Give the whole lot of them some extra time off to heal the bumps and bruises and get their eyes properly trained on the end goal.
And give the rest of us one more reason to ignore the festivities.

This is a machine embroidery applique. I still need to piece the strips together. I'm hoping I'll get it done within a week so that I could send it off to her.
So, what do you think?

Daniel Horowitz works in painting, drawing, collage, and installation. His art is characterized by a unique combination of realism and surrealist abstraction. In many of his compositions, faceless human figures work against backdrops of bizarre landscapes, mundane architecture or chimerical scenes. Twisted and stretched objects or body parts rendered in vibrant colors channel the surreal while examining contemporary reality, social anxieties and displaced identity. Horowitz's imagery alters the original nature of objects and scale, creating overall dreamlike atmospheres. His paintings employ an associative logic, whereby disparate subjects are thrown together into impossible landscapes that are nonetheless psychologically cohesive. Through dissonant figure pairings and Freudian fluency in our collective symbolic lexicon, Horowitz conjures up what cannot be visualized into something visible. His paintings suggest a narrative but this promise dissolves into ambiguity. Originally inspired by Surrealism and the Polish Poster School, he developed natural interest in the so-called New Leipzig School, known for mixing surrealism and realism. Horowitz's work has been the subject of international solo and group exhibitions - from New York, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Warsaw, Berlin, Leipzig, Paris to Split, Barcelona, and Montreal. He graduated from the Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, CA (2001).

I was the one who closed the ticket sans > regression test. I tend to still be of the opinion that a bug fix > without a regression test is better than no bug fix at all. I suppose people may be getting tired of me singing the same tune all the time, but I wouldn't do it if I weren't deeply convinced of the improvement in software quality resulting from good test coverage. This is maybe even more true for NumPy than for other packages, illustrated by the recent discussion on masked arrays. The unit tests act as a contract between ourselves and our users, and if this contract is lacking (or missing!), we cannot guarantee that APIs or even functionality will remain unbroken. It may be best if we could formalise the policy around this, so that I can either keep quiet or expect a regression test with every check-in. > Obviously, whether future changes actually fix a bug (without > introducing new ones) is a strong argument for regression tests, and I > gratefully accept all tests submitted. I believe we should not only be accepting tests -- we should be writing them, too. Regards Stéfan

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Conservation Lands Foundation, Durango, CO, USA
The Conservation Lands Foundation is one of those rare groups that shows up ahead of the game. Their focus on securing consistent, sound and sustainable management for the National Landscape Conservation system by combining grassroots Friends groups into a nationwide coalition represents an excellent approach. The state-based staff has been very helpful at bringing national experience and vision down to the local level. For us in the Eastern Sierra at Friends of the Inyo, this approach of empowering the grassroots to protect, restore and enhance our public lands has worked well; the Conservation Lands Foundation has given us capacity to work on public lands issues that few other groups can.
