The orders came back with the new/higher pricing (which is currently shown on my website), but I'll get that cleared up first thing next week. For now, just subtract roughly $225 from the pricing you see there... Here's what I ordered.

[JURIST] Members of the Pakistan lawyers' movement [New York Times backgrounder] Monday followed through on last month's promise to protest from city to city [Daily Times report; JURIST report] in a call for the restoration of judges ousted by President Pervez Musharraf during his emergency rule [JURIST report] last November. Leaders of the two main coalition parties, the ruling Pakistan People's Party (PPP) and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) [party websites], pledged in February to restore the judiciary, and the PPP has since submitted a proposed constitutional amendment package [JURIST report]. The march is scheduled to end with a sit-in at the Parliament in Islamabad late this week, but lawyers have said that the protests will continue until the government restores the judiciary and reverses any unconstitutional actions taken by Musharraf. AFP has more.
Musharraf announced Saturday that he would not step down or go into exile [Dawn report], prompting protesters to lead chants calling for his resignation. PML-N officials have generally favored Musharraf's resignation or impeachment, and released a "charge sheet" [JURIST report; Dawn charge sheet overview] against him. PPP leaders have advocated cooperating with Musharraf and amending the constitution, but adopted a stricter stance after Saturday's declaration, saying Musharraf is only the president by default [Daily Times report] rather than by election.

A CAMPAIGN has been launched to bring a Gay Pride festival to Southampton .
This year there have been 38 Gay Pride festivals across the country, the biggest of which is in Brighton, attracting more than 30,000 revellers.
Campaigners want a similar event in Southampton.
Chrisie Edkins, a 31-year-old transgender singer from West End , is leading the push and has started a petition, already signed by hundreds of people backing a Gay Pride festival for the city. She claims that hosting a Pride event in Southampton will cost £15,000 and wants it to be funded from a council grant or support from the Southampton business community. Miss Edkins argued that having a Pride festival in Southampton will bring tourism to the city.
She said: "I feel that Southampton is lacking a Pride event. Most large Pride events attract a crowd from across the surrounding area. "I know a Pride event will bring people to Southampton. "It would be nice if we had this event in Southampton to celebrate our diversity and acceptance."
She plans for the festival to be held in late 2013, marching through the city centre to Southampton Common, where there will be a stage for live music. The Edge Nightclub supports the campaign and operation manager Nicholas Lindner said: "The gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender population of Southampton deserve to be recognised. "Given the right support, I am sure that Southampton Pride could grow into a very popular annual event."
A similar Pride event in Southampton was staged in July 2005, but it failed to gather enough support and was stopped.
A spokesman for Southampton City Council said they encourage events like a Pride Festival in Southampton but are unlikely to be able to afford the cost.
He said: "The council is keen to encourage individuals and groups to organise a wide range of events. "While we may be unable to find financial aid – we would offer the same level of support that we do for many other event organisers."

BUFFALO, N.Y. - Kevin Everett has slightly moved three fingers on his right hand, potentially another positive sign in his recovery from a life-threatening spinal-cord injury, a person close to the family told The Associated Press on Friday.
The Buffalo tight end voluntarily moved his fingers Thursday night "more than a little bit but not with great force," said the person who requested anonymity because of the sensitive nature of Everett's status. "There was slight movement."
Dr. Barth Green of the Miami Project also told The Miami Herald on Friday that Everett showed movement in his fingers early Friday morning. Green said he spoke on the phone with Bills orthopedic surgeon Andrew Cappuccino, who updated him.
On Wednesday, doctors said Everett could wiggle his toes, bend his hip, move his ankles, elevate and kick his leg, as well as extend his elbows and slightly flex his biceps. But he had not been able to move his hands.
Everett was hurt Sunday after ducking his head while tackling Denver's Domenik Hixon during the second-half kickoff in the season opener.

The Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) today announced the awarding of more than half a million dollars in special grants to groups assisting low-income victims of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita rebuild their lives and communities.
Disbursal of the $515,000 follows a separate allocation of $150,000 provided in late September for hurricane relief.
Bishop Howard Hubbard of Albany, N.Y., chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Committee on CCHD, announced the 20 grants at a New Orleans press conference. The grants range from $10,000 to $30,000 and cover 11 dioceses.
The poor "need a place at the table as the Gulf Coast plans to rebuild," Bishop Hubbard stated. "There is much work to be done and we need to listen carefully to their voices and see clearly their needs."
According to the bishop, the latest allocations "will help the Gulf Coast's poor and low-income population organize to address and solve their unique long-term needs" and help ensure they "have a voice in the important decisions to be made as cities and communities are rebuilt."
He commended "the many faith-based groups and community advocacy groups who have joined CCHD in helping the region during this crisis."
Bishop Hubbard was joined at the podium by Auxiliary Bishop Roger Morin of New Orleans, who refused to leave his post during the hurricane in order to continue ministering to others.
Funds distributed by CCHD come from individual Catholics who donate to a nationwide church collection each year, usually in the fall. Over the years, CCHD has provided more than $280 million in grants. Last September, it awarded nearly $9 million as part of its annual grant cycle assisting local projects that attack the root causes of poverty.

After some hiatus, the weekly jailbreak app store updates segment is back. I will be covering some new apps that have recently been added to the Cydia and Rock app stores in the past few weeks, some of the best free apps available today, and some of the worst. There is a lot to cover so if I missed something please feel free to add to this. We want to hear the community's thoughts on these apps. This week I'll be covering Signal, My3G, MyWi, Cicero, and a few others.
New & Updated Apps:
Recently Paul discussed Signal, a new App available in Cydia, created by planetbeing. Planetbeing is the person behind the Unlock we have at the moment, and with the development of this new app, Signal, provides vital information about what your baseband is doing, which towers it is connecting to, and various data points.
Signal uses your current location, and pinpoints where the nearest cell tower is using a google maps overlay. Your connected tower station is shown as a red dot, as real time signal strength is shown in dBm. Read More...
While this app may not appeal to everyone, the gesture of purchasing this app and supporting planetbeing's work is what brings it in as one of the most important apps every jailbreaker should have in their collection. Head over to Cydia and purchase Signal for $4.99.
My3G with FaceTime Support
If you've never heard of My3G, you've been living under a rock. My3G has the ability to convince your Apps that they are actually on WiFi rather than 3G. Doing this extends the limits of what you can do while away from WiFi. Things such as FaceTime require WiFi to function, due to the high use of bandwidth for each call. Even apps like YouTube will disable the ability to watch HD movies if you have no WiFi signal. With My3G, you can watch HiDef YouTube videos, use Factime, Skype/Fring and other apps over the 3G network, no questions asked.
You can download My3G via RockApp for only $3.99.
MyWi 4.0
Possibly one of the most interesting, useful apps available on a Jailbroken iDevice. From the creators of My3G, comes MyWi. MyWi has been rebuilt from scratch to bring tethering support to iOS 4! MyWi will allow you to create a WiFi HotSpot in a matter of seconds, straight from your iDevice. Essentially your iDevice will become an Access Point for other WiFi enabled devices to connect to, and share the 3G or WiFi connection that the iDevice has. This is great for roadtrips or mobile meetings. Or heck, even a LAN tournament.
This app will work with all jailbroken iPhones (including 2G/3G/3GS/4) and iPad on 3.1.2 or later. You can download MyWi via RockApp for $19.99.
More information can be found here.
InfiniFolders & Infinidock
From Xuzz chpwn comes InfiniDock and InfiniFolders, now both iOS 4 compatible. InfiniFolders will allow you to overload your folders originally limited to 12 by default on iOS 4. This creates a great way to really organize your apps and manage them efficiently. InfiniFolders is available for $1.99 from Cydia via BigBoss repo
InfiniDock is much the same, in that it allows you to add as many icons to the dock as you'd like, and appears much like the multi-tasking feature on iOS 4. Slide to the left or right to reveal more icons in the dock.
Cicero is not so much an app, as it is an extension, and a useful one at that. Cicero will allow the user to add and manage search engines directly inside of the Safari browser. Built inside of Cicero is an OpenSearch-compliant search engine manager which makes it incredibly easy to add search engines from the database of search engines provided by Mycroft.
Cicero also manages search suggestions displaying suggested queries as you type for faster results. By tapping on the current engines icon, you'll be able to switch through providers, just like you would in something like firefox.
Cicero is available in Cydia via BigBoss repository for $2.49
Quick Updates:
The following apps have been updated to work with iOS 4. Not much more to say other than that. For the most part, you will probably all have these updates installed already. These are in no particular order. For a full list go here
3G Unrestrictor
Five-Column Springboard
Five-Icon Dock
Winterboard (Still some minor bugs for older themes)
That's it for now guys. Check back next week for some new apps. I know I didn't cover everything that's new but I'll try to get to it next week. If you have an app you want to see featured here, get in touch: Email Me.

Orgonite Pyramids
So, what are orgonite pyramids, and what do they do?
The word orgonite comes from "orgone", the name given by Wilheim Reich to vital energy found everywhere in nature. Also called chi, prana, ether, elan, elan vital, or the fifth element, this energy exists, in a natural way, under many different forms. It can be neutral (OR), positive (POR) or negative (DOR = deadly orgone energy). When positive, it enables living organisms to exist in a healthy state. Reich did a lot of research on the properties and behaviors of this energy.
Orgonite is a mixture of catalyzed fiberglass resin with metal shavings, poured into molds. Crystals, essential oils, high vibration organic materials can be added to the mixture for their ability to make the energy more coherent or to enhance the working of the orgonite. Thus, orgonite basically is a substance which functions as a self-driven, continuously-operating, highly efficient energy transmutation device, drawing in negative life energy and transmuting it into positive energy with the addition of emanating the energy of a set intention. The resin in orgonite shrinks during the curing process, permanently squeezing the quartz crystal inside, which creates a piezoelectric effect inside the crystal, meaning its endpoints become polarized electrically, this apparently causes it to function more effectively as a positive energy generator.
The combination of a metal/resin matrix and crystals can tansmute 'DOR,' the negative polarity of orgone energy, into 'OR,' the positive polarity of orgone energy. It was also noticed that placing an orgone generator in the vicinity of a nuclear power plant had the effect of reducing the size of the DOR orgone field that surrounds all nuclear reactors. An orgone generator can also neutralize the DOR fields which surround ELF and Microwave cell phone towers and many other centers of negative energy.
Many people notice positive emotional effects in the presence of orgone generators. Mood and emotions tend to elevate. Some people who have trouble falling asleep report that they can sleep better and more soundly with an orgone generator in the bedroom. Many people have noticed that plants grow more vigorously in the vicinity of an orgone generator. Some people bring them to work and notice that the office environment becomes friendlier and less competitive.
Our orgonite pyramids are handcrafted from a custom mold built specifically via the pi/phi ratio of the Egyptian pyramids!
We make every orgonite piece with individual attention and specific intention, additionally infusing each one with Reiki, Arcing Radial Light, Trinity energy… or any high vibrational energy that we are guided to infuse. We've also included enhanced connection to specific high-vibration Divine entities, such as an archangel, ascended master, or even star beings!
Go to the pages specific to product size to order your own, intention-made orgonite pyramid today!
NOTE: As of January 2016, the purchase of these pyramids are being processed entirely through my main Website, www.SpiritualAlchemy.net. Same awesome product; better shopping cart! Following the links below wiil take you to the new site to choose and purchase:
- NEW! Ascension (Synergy 12) Pyramid! – Large (6″ base) ONLY ($222.00)
- NEW! Chakra Clearing and High Vibration Cleansing – Large (6″ base) ONLY ($122.00)
- Small Pyramids – 2.75″ base, set of 3 ($60.00)*
- Medium Pyramids – 4.25″ base ($60.00)*
- Large Pyramids – 6″ base ($105.00)*
*A note about production: These pyramids are individually made to order, with very personal attention to each one. Therefore, finished size may slightly vary.
Though it CAN be sooner, it's most typically 5-10 days for your order to be processed, created, cured, finished/infused, and shipped (depending on the size and material requirements of the order).
Also, every pyramid is completely unique and custom, depending on guidance! Sometimes in the final product there are what some might consider minor cosmetic flaws; they are considered a unique part of that pyramid's design, for whatever higher purpose… and definitely contribute to its uniqueness! Therefore, once a pyramid is created for the intended recipient, there's a no return/refunds policy in place.Print

Things I don't understand? What qualifies you as somebody who does and me as someone who doesn't? What you've made some videos, does that qualify you?
My qualification is my eyes, I can watch something and tell you if it sucks or not. I can see what the limitations are of each aspect. It's not rocket science, even idiots watch something and tell you if it sucks.
I've made my points and the only thing you can do is naysay without a supporting argument.
Have you seen the copter in action? Unless you have then it's you who doesn't have a clue. Quit being butt hurt because the copter takes better video than you.
They're already using the copter for major pro sports, I guess those people are dumb to.

I was clearing off my desk and saw my list of books we are doing for book club starting back up in the fall. I was going to tack the list to my bulletin board, but then remembered what usually happens. I forget about the list until I see one of the book club members who asks me how I like the book. The book I haven't gotten from the library yet. After running to the library or having to buy the book, I cram my reading into a few days usually finishing the book but not always.
So this time, I paused my desk clearing and typed into my Google Calendar the book club date, book and author for each book. If I am leading I add that.
Then I set the email reminder for 3 weeks beforehand. That way I can get the book from the library and leisurely read it.
I am looking forward to being more prepared and engaged this year. First book up, Calling Me Home by Julie Kibler.
2 comments
Another option (at least in my library system) is to request the book, then change the request date so that you get each book at the appropriate time.
I set my request date for about a week before book club (we meet at the library), so I can pick up next month's book on book club night. It takes a few days for the book to get to my library branch, and they will hold a book for 5 days before returning it.

The bachelor's degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology provides a solid foundation in the life sciences for students seeking careers in medicine, entry level positions in biotechnology or the pharmaceutical industry, government, or as a basis for graduate studies in biology.
While the degree requirements may satisfy many professional or graduate programs, it is important to consult the admission requirements as early as possible for the particular programs at schools to which the individual is likely to apply. Additional coursework may be taken as electives to support later postgraduate work.
Molecular and Cellular Biologists seek to understand the fundamental units of life. This includes studies of cells, cellular components, and the functions of macro molecules like DNA, RNA, and proteins.

I'm not sure what the big story is here: the lawsuit or the emergence of the term "likejacking". Facebook and the state of Washington are suing a company called Adscend. Likejacking happens when someone is lured into clicking a link in a Facebook ad which then marks the ad or Facebook page as something the user, in the parlance of Facebook, Likes.
This is what the plaintiffs are saying Adscend was doing:
One of these alleged Facebook scams includes a Facebook post that offers the promise of a salacious video of an ex-girlfriend. When a user clicks on the post, a window opens seeking "Age Verification" that users need to click on to proceed. But it's a trick. When users click on the link, they link gets shared in their news feed. And then users are also redirected to an Adscend advertiser site, for which the company receives money.
One could argue that if you're dense enough to believe that there's an actual salacious video at the end of that link, you deserve all the spam that's coming to you. Washington Attorney General Rob McKenna says it's not clear whether the advertisers working with Adscend are aware of how they're getting this new traffic.

Lesson: Grammar: Independent and Dependent Clauses 1
2705 Views
38 Downloads
4 Favorites
Lesson Objective
Focus: Identifying words and phrases that set-up for an independent clause
Lesson Plan
We are going to learn about independent and dependent clauses (Hopefully, someone will remember what these are. Review the definitions of dependent and independent clauses. They can use their word study.)
- Examples
- The scholar studied his vocabulary words every night. (independent)
- Chirping birds woke me up in the early morning. (independent)
- Even though the water was freezing (dependent)
- According to the blurb (dependent)
- Today, we are going to continue our discussion about these clauses, but we're going to be focusing on dependent clauses.
- We know that a dependent clause is a clause that can't stand alone, and when we hear a dependent clause we know that it sounds unfinished…like something is missing. Our job today is to identify the words and phrases that usually come at the beginning of dependent clauses. When writers use these specific words at the start of their sentences, it is a signal that they are writing a sentence with a dependent clause.
- Show scholars the list of words that signal a dependent clause. Read it together.
- Have students write down the words in their notebooks.
- Now that we know the words that are necessary for writing a dependent clause, we need to begin to identify dependent clauses in sentences.
- Hand out worksheet. Read the directions together.
- Remember, a clause is a group of words that have a subject and predicate, but can't stand alone. We need to keep this in mind when we are looking for the dependent and independent clauses in each of these sentences.
- Read the first sentence together.
- Unless the package comes today, I will not be able to give her the gift.
- Have students identify the key/signal word that tells us where the dependent clause begins.
- So, if we know that unless is the dependent key word here, should we just circle the word unless? (No, because it is only one word and a clause is a group of words with a subject and predicate.)
- Ask scholars what part of the sentence we should circle. (We need to circle the words, "Unless the package comes today," because this is the clause that is dependent on the second half of the sentence.)
- Discuss WHY we need the independent clause, "I will not be able to give her the gift," to complete the thought. Ask scholars to think of other independent clauses we could insert to complete the thought.
- Complete the next three sentences together, having the same discussions about key words and which clauses needs the other. Then, have students complete the rest of the worksheet (the back, too) with a partner or independently.

How many overgrips do you go throught in a month?
About 25 Wilson Pro Overgrips per month.
about 3 :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
are you kidding?
that's quite a lot for each month
About 8. One for each of my match racquets. I should probably change them more often b/c I use White Super Grap & it dirties much quicker than any other.
Maybe 0.5.
That's an average of course, because I don't get new grips very often.
Four, but I remove and rewrap them to use the other side, so I'm rewrapping 8 times a month. Tournagrip.
Unfortunately, I'm not kidding Vinky. College tennis puts a pounding on overgrips, string, rackets, the body, the mind, well, just about everything...
2 (this message is too short to post) *but now it isnt* :O
within my 3 racquets i would say about 7 overgrips a month
about 6 wit my 2 racquets
Around six to eight. Our school team plays its matches on courts that haven't been washed for at least ten years. Wilson pro will turn dark beacuse the courts are so dirty (new balls look old after a set). I switched to tourna for playing outside, wilson pro for indoors when I train.
i don't have the resources to get second 03 tour ms... but i go through about 4 super graps a month while hitting 1.5 hours per day on average.
I change my overgrips mostly every week or two! most of my overgrips are white so they tend to get dirty and i have some hard skin on my hand from blisters that rub against the grip and make them rip!
In my opinion, i think itz crazy that some people use their overgrips until therez mostly fluff on the part they grip! Overgrips arent that expensive and itz the only part of the racquet that you hold when making contact with the ball! thatz why i dont hesitate to change my overgrips
I have 3 sticks...i'd say probably 6-10 a month
maybe 10 a month
hm, you either dont wash your hands after every meal, bathroom and play or you are just showing off
Let me just put it this way: When I do change overgrips it's a big occasion.
I have 3 racquets and I go through about 3 overgrips a month (in total).
[Am I supposed to get intimidated by people consuming 20-30 overgrips a month??? ... ' cos I sure am... ].
If he's got sweaty hands that tends to ruin a grip pretty fast, also if he plays very intensely for hours on end everyday.
Personally during Spring Break and the Summer when I can get 5-6 hours of court time I was using an overgrip a day.
I have just one main racket and I go through about 4-6 SuperGraps a month. My doubles partner can use one single overgrip without wearing it out terribly for about a month or so on an hour of play everyday. I think his max. was a month and a half on one single Wilson H2Overgrip. Amazing, lol.
signum pro over grips are the go!!
I have 2 racquets, and I go through about 3-4 between both of them.
I replace overgrips every 1 to 2 months. During the weekdays I play atleast three hours of tennis daily. What's up with you guys going through them so fast?
It depends on whether I'm indoor or outdoor. During my summer clinics I was going through a Tournagrip a day. Indoors, every few weeks.
maybe 3-4. I only change grips if it gets torn or too dirty.
Around 3-4 for 2 racquets. I only change them when they become slick and slippery.
Separate names with a comma.

David Cameron, the Prime Minister, flew to the Gulf to sell Typhoon jets to Dubai and Saudi Arabia. On the border of Jordan with Syria he said he shared a 'goal of a Syria without Assad'. Mr Cameron appointed Mrs Justice Macur to examine the treatment of allegations of sexual abuse at children's homes in North Wales in the 1970s and 1980s. Someone abused at that period accused a former Conservative politician. Theresa May, the Home Secretary, announced a new police inquiry into the abuse. A text message from Rebekah Brooks to Mr Cameron was published by the Mail on Sunday: 'Brilliant speech. I cried twice. Will love "working together".' Denis MacShane, a former Labour minister, stepped down as an MP for falsely claiming £7,000 of expenses. A man jumped into the boot of his car as it was being stolen in Edinburgh and managed to telephone police from inside.
Iain Duncan Smith, the Work and Pensions Secretary, discussed on television the possibility of Britain leaving the European Union. He was speaking four days after the government was defeated by 307 to 294 (with the help of 53 Tory rebels) in a vote calling for a real-terms cut in the EU budget between 2014 and 2020. Ed Miliband, the leader of the opposition, and Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London, backed a campaign for a 'living wage' minimum of £7.45 an hour (or £8.55 in London), compared with the legal minimum wage for those over 21 of £6.19. More than 50 per cent of mortgages in London, the south-east and the south-west were found to be interest-only loans in a survey by Moody's.

On landing in Australia for a six-day tour, the Prince of Wales said: 'I feel a few sausages short of a barbie', on account of the jetlag. In temperatures of 100°F, the Duchess of Cornwall was made to cuddle a year-old kangaroo. Nadine Dorries, the Conservative MP, flew to Australia to take part in the television series I'm a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! Operations were postponed at King's Mill Hospital, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, after a rat was found in a theatre.
Barack Obama was re-elected as President of the United States, comfortably beating the Republican candidate Mitt Romney. Mr Obama said: 'We know in our hearts that for the United States of America the best is yet to come.' The symbolic popular vote was very close. The Republicans retained control of the House of Representatives and the Democrats held the Senate. Colorado and Washington voted to legalise recreational use of marijuana, and Maine, Maryland and Washington voted for same-sex marriage. More than a million people in New Jersey and New York were still without electricity a week after the storm Sandy. More than 100 in the United States were found to have died and 30,000 to 40,000 were left homeless. Haiti, hit earlier by the storm, appealed for aid. The United States and Japan undertook joint naval exercises involving 47,000 people near islands in the East China Sea claimed by China. China's Communist party congress met to finalise the new national leadership. Elliott Carter, the American composer, died, aged 103.
In Qatar, the Syrian National Council, the main opposition coalition, set about trying to extend its support among groups in Syria, where fighting continued, with 179 reported killed on 4 November, mostly civilians, and the next day 50 government troops were reported killed in a suicide car bombing in Ziyara. At least 27 were killed by a car bomb outside an Iraqi army base near Baghdad.

525 Tasting Notes
This is an older sample from Teavivre that I should have gotten to a long time ago. Problem is that I'm rarely in the mood for puerh. The mood hit me today though!
The brewing conditions were suboptimal here. Water too cool and time too long, but the flavor is exceptional.
It's like drinking broth. It's an oceanic/kelp umami flavor with strong dried grass/hay. Not too rich and heavy like some puerhs get. This is definitely one of the more unique raw puerhs I've had.
Teavivre is always good for a learning experience. Thanks so much for the same!
second tea of the day! It's unwise of me to have black tea in the afternoon, but to heck with it! I've been having a stressful few weeks.
This tea is just lovely. Roasted barley, dark chocolate, smokey with a hint of clover honey. Just wonderful.
Mmmm… one sniff of the leaves was enough to remind me why I used to love green oolongs from Taiwan so much. When did I stop drinking them?
I'm not sure what osmanthus is like, but if it's what I"m tasting, then I like it. It's the sweet syrupy aroma that some flowers have. Blending in with that is the lovely vegetal green oolong. Fresh and summery. Oolongs always taste like seasons to me. Young plants, scented flowers…I can almost hear the bees buzzing around and feel the sunshine on my face. Lovely. :)
Thank you, Angel, for this sample.
I'm so bad at writing notes lately. I had real intentions of reviewing soon after drinking but then there was this to do and that to do and then I forgot all about it until a couple days later. :(
From what I recall, there was a dark oolong-y roasted flavor and a sweet honey fragrance like in typical Oriental Beauty teas. I think I prefer the traditional Oriental Beauty because this version's strong earthiness muddles up the honey and floral aromas and flavors.
It's definitely not a bad tea though and I love the creativity. :)
I find that I crave a nice cup of Chinese black in the mornings. It's just a lovely way to start the day. I love the preserved plum flavor in this one. The lingering maltiness.
As I mature in my tea adventure, I find myself not appreciating teas as much as I used to. It's such a shame. I'll drink while reading or working and I just don't notice the nuances anymore. I try to put time aside for a new tea to truly appreciate it, but my schedule is not what it used to be. When I started my tea adventure, I was unemployed and my husband wasn't out of the house all day going to work and then school. While I'm grateful to be employed and happy that husband's continuing education will open up opportunities for him, I really miss having TIME. Time to just do nothing or focus on hobbies.
Anyway! Good tea!
So yesterday I worked from home because the train line I usually commute on is having power issues and is running very limited service. Today, I'm trying out the limited service because working from home for the two to three weeks it will take to fix is just too much. In any case, I had access to my fancy teas and tea ware while it was still early enough for caffeine! And I've been meaning to try out this puer for a while now.
First impression was that this is extraordinarily light for a ripe puer. But it didn't taste raw either. I love the fresh cut cedar aroma. I wish I remembered the experience better but drinking while working, even from home, is not helpful to the tasting experience. I was aware enough to note that this is an amazing puer that I like more than I thought I would.
Holy cow! I didn't know I still had some of this! It reminds me of winter. Tastes the same as ever. Punchy, almond and probably good with a shot of rum. It's really a gorgeous day but the nip of winter is definitely in the air. Winter always seems to last too long. Gotta go out with the pups for some longs walks and running in the park while there's still time. :)
The coconut is hardly there. There is a creamy sweetness but that may be vanilla. Chocolate is light. The real star here is the cinnamon. It's so strong as to be unnatural tasting. This was not a tea I was interested in when it came out. I only got some now as a sample. Turns out my intuition was right. It feels so good to finish a packet though.
Life has been going on overdrive lately. When was the last time I posted anything here? Oh my.
Let me do a quick recap: (in case anyone is wondering. :))
-Week long trip to Yosemite/California vineyards turned into nursing husband back to health. It was still fun and his doctor says he's fine now.
-Husband's friends from Germany came to visit for about 2 weeks straight after we returned home. Entertaining guests is very time consuming! But they were great and I'm glad they came.
-Lost our dog, Mr. Snuggles. It was 24 hours of frantic searching, calling, flyer printing/posting, etc. Finally someone called to say she had our pup. (flyers worked!) Right after we came home with Snugs, I became violently ill. Vomiting, light headed, pounding headache. I had literally worried myself sick. But I'm ecstatic and relieved that he's home.
-New project at work is escalating. I was informed it would entail 15 – 25% of my work time. More like 60-70%. I can't believe I volunteered for this.
-My MIL's 10 peach trees are exploding with fruit. It's been non-stop canning over here. Help!
Thank goodness for Labor Day! And now, I'm having a cup of tea before starting a batch of peach jam. Sigh, first world problems. This tea is as delicious as I remember. The quality especially shows now that I've overbrewed it and it still tastes fantastic. Smooth, hint of milk chocolate, delicious toasted grain. Mmmm… Just the boost I need for peach overload.

By: Lauren Freier, Regular Contributor
If I had the power to live my life the way I typed this entry, I would copy/paste to make situations flow more smoothly, I would delete mistakes, I would revise my conversations, I would space things out differently, and I would save thoughts to work on and address at a later date. However reality doesn't allow for rough drafts, and there definitely aren't edit undo buttons, instead life is all handwritten and the strongest periods of growth come from learning to survive and manage the eraser marks.
But would you undo if you could undo?
I once read a quote about regrets that has come up time and time again as of late, whether with friends, clients, or simply myself. That is to "never regret anything because at one time it was exactly what you wanted" (unknown). This so perfectly confronts the shame and guilt you might feel from your choices, and validates the power and wisdom that comes with growth. Realizing you did something in the past that you wouldn't do again now does not make it a mistake, it means you have a more seasoned perspective.
When you try to erase pages of your story, it can often cause a deep sense of unworthiness and shame, with wishes that you could have instead acted differently and felt differently. It is in this moment, where you give up faith in yourself, that you become your own biggest antagonist. But whether you dated the "wrong" person, pursued the "wrong" career, chose the "wrong" friends, or did anything else that doesn't quite fit into your book today, you wouldn't be you without those chapters in your history.
Through the successes and the setbacks, the wonderful and the miserable, your story will still go on and the plot is far from over. Even more so, you will likely realize that not only have raw and gritty experiences added meat to your story, with a thicker binding and blank pages ahead you are still the author of what comes next. So listen to that inner voice narrating your dreams and desires, and follow its lead. Trust that if you trust in yourself, you will not have anything to undo.

Friday marks the opening of NHL free agency. Throughout the day, we'll list all of the signings and provide analysis.
The free agency window opens at noon, but a few key names were taken off the market on Friday morning. A quick Brad Richards note: the soon-to-be former Dallas Star is meeting with almost every team in the league Friday afternoon, so don't expect him to sign until Saturday at the earliest.
Update:TSN reports that the New York Rangers can match or better any offer for Richards, so it's pretty obvious where he wants to end up.
We'll list all of the deals here (all signings sourced from TSN), listed in order of importance:
Columbus signs D James Wisniewski to a six-year, US$33-million contract
Post take: "The Wiz" immediately becomes the best defender on the Blue Jackets' blue line, providing a laser shot and power-play quarterbacking ability. A huge loss for the Montreal Canadiens, who traded Wisniewski's rights to the Jackets for a seventh-round draft pick two days ago.
Philadelphia signs Jaromir Jagr to a one-year deal worth $3.3-million
Post take: Did not see that coming. The Flyers still need a centre or two, but that is an epic pickup for an already big team. Presuming Jagr's skill level hasn't dropped off too far after three years in the KHL.
Buffalo signs F Ville Leino to a six-year, $27-million deal
Post take: Leino is a good winger, capable of contributing goals and dishing out assists — BUT FOR REAL? It's not like the Sabres need to reach the cap floor. And they have plenty of good wingers. And Buffalo was on such a hot streak, with Ehrhoff and Regehr.
Washington trades G Semyon Varlamov's RFA rights to Colorado for a 2012 first-round pick and a 2012 or 2013 second-round pick.
Post take: The Avalanche must be convinced Varlamov is not signing in the KHL, because this is borderline insanity. Assume that Tomas Vokoun is going to a contender. Between this and Jan Hejda (see below), not a great day for the Avs.
Montreal signs F Erik Cole to a four-year, $18-million contract
Post take: The Canadiens find some size up front, but also an injury-prone player who barely had a bounceback season in 2010-11. Doesn't Max Pacioretty do all of the things Cole does? A bit confounding.
Florida signs D Ed Jovanovski to a four-year, $16.5-million deal
Post take: Four years sounds like a long time for Ed Jovanovski, who has not played close to a full season since 2008-09, and whose offensive production has dropped off a cliff. They know
Wade Redden
Sheldon Souray and
was just sitting in the AHL, right? (Kidding.)
Florida signs F Scottie Upshall to a four-year, $14-million deal
Post take: Here's another one of Dale Tallon's "spend to the cap floor" contracts, after Tomas Kopecky's four-year, $12-million deal the other day, and Jovanovski. Upshall is no slouch: he's good for about 20 goals per season. But that is about it. Perhaps he can go further with Stephen Weiss as his centre.
Florida acquires F Kris Versteeg from Philadelphia for second- and third-round draft picks
Post take: Tallon continues to acquire the most useless pieces of the 2009-10 Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks! To be fair, Versteeg was pretty good for that team. He joins his fourth team in just more than a year.
Florida signs F Tomas Fleischmann to a four-year, $18-million deal
Post take: Tallon's aggressive
Mission: Cap Floorcontinues. Fleischmann is probably the most skilled forward the Panthers have acquired in this free agency bonanza. But also the riskiest, given his career-threatening health issues.
Florida signs F Sean Bergenheim to a four-year, $11-million deal
Post take: This is just getting comical.
Washington signs F Joel Ward to a four-year, $12-million deal
Post take: Had a breakout playoff performance with Nashville this spring, and is the type of big, grinding forward you need for a long playoff run.
Washington signs D Roman Hamrlik to a two-year, $7-million contract
Post take: Not totally sure why the Caps need Hamrlik, since they're committed to Dennis Wideman and Tom Poti already. Maybe they're concerned about Poti's health, which is fair.
Vancouver signs Marco Sturm to a one-year, $2.25-million deal
Post take: This is their decision for the top-six forward opening? Ouch.
Dallas signs D Sheldon Souray to a one-year, $1.65-million deal
Post take: Sheldon Souray is free! To go to Dallas, anyway, which is like NHL jail at this point. Interesting note: It wasn't entirely Souray's contract that prevented another team from picking him up on waivers while he was buried in the AHL.
Philadelphia signs F Max Talbot to a five-year, $9-million deal
Post take: Between this and Jagr, Paul Holmgren is really trying to screw with Ray Shero. Also: Talbot really wants to play against his former best buds in Pittsburgh six times a season, minimum? Really for real?
Dallas signs Michael Ryder to a two-year, $7-million deal
Post take: A big, experienced winger, and now a Stanley Cup champion, who has a tendency to disappear for long stretches. So, basically a replacement for James Neal in every way.
Chicago signs F Andrew Brunette to a one-year, $2-million deal
Post take: A decent pickup for third-line centre, presuming Patrick Sharp stays on the wing and Bolland centres the second line. Otherwise, he's on the wing. Either way, Brunette has the versatility and skill to fit in wherever Joe Quenneville wants him.
Vancouver re-signs D Sami Salo to a one-year, $2-million contract
Post take: Salo said he would come back to the Western Conference champions for a discount and he was not lying. When healthy, he is an excellent offensive defenceman. But then, when is Salo healthy?
New Jersey re-signs D Andy Greene to a four-year deal
Post take: The Devils were lucky to hang on to their No. 2 defenceman. No. 3, by the way, is Adam Larsson.
Vancouver re-signs F Chris Higgins to a two-year, $3.8-million contract
Post take: Higgins was the Canucks' best trade deadline acquisition, moving from the fourth line to the second, on Ryan Kesler's wing, during Vancouver's long playoff run.
Pittsburgh re-signs F Tyler Kennedy to a two-year, $4-million contract
Post take: The Penguins
Phoenix signs F Raffi Torres to a two-year, $3.5-million deal, and F Boyd Gordon to a two-year, $2.7-million deal
Post take: The Coyotes are another team struggling to reach the cap floor, and a bit more hamstrung than some of their opponents, considering that the NHL is running the show. These two deals take them to 18 players, with $12-million to go. We hear Scott Gomez is totally available.
San Jose signs F Michael Handzus to a two-year, $5-million deal
Post take: Only took a year, but the Sharks have finally replaced Manny Malhotra.
Colorado signs J-S Giguere to a two-year deal, $2.5-million deal
Post take: A good platoon mate for Varlamov, presuming he can successfully overcome groin injuries that have limited his mobility in recent seasons.
Phoenix signs G Mike Smith to a two-year contract worth $4-million
Post take: Dave Tippett said after the Coyotes' playoff run ended in the first round that the ownership situation put the team at a competitive disadvantage. The phrase "Mike Smith, No. 1 goaltender" backs up that line of thought.
Florida signs G Jose Theodore to a two-year, $3-million deal
Post take: Still a good 1A option who had very good stretches in Minnesota and Washington in the past two seasons. But can Florida really go with just Theodore and young Jacob Markstrom next season?
Edmonton signs F Eric Belanger to a three-year, $5.25-million deal
Post take: Pretty solid addition for the Oil. An experienced two-way forward with size — kind of a poor man's Shawn Horcoff. OK, that doesn't actually sound like an endorsement. How about, a poor man's Shawn Horcoff, circa 2005-09?
Florida signs F Marcel Goc to a three-year, $5.1-million contract
Post take: Goc is a speedy, efficient defensive forward. Not too shabby a signing. Certainly better than Jovanovski …
Pittsburgh signs F Steve Sullivan for one year, $1.5-million
Post take: If he can stay healthy, he's probably a short-term upgrade over Max Talbot.
Carolina signs F Alex Ponikarovsky to a one-year, $1.5-million deal
Post take: Not gonna lie, really thought this was the year Ponikarovsky ended up in the KHL. Former coach Paul Maurice to save the day!
Tampa Bay signs G Mathieu Garon to a two-year, $2.6-million deal
Post take: Garon was very strong for the Blue Jackets this past season, backing up Steve Mason. He is the sort of reliable second option the Lightning need behind Dwayne Roloson, who turns 42 shortly after the 2011-12 season begins.
Carolina signs F Tim Brent to a two-year, $1.5-million deal
Post take: Was basically a perfect fourth-line centre for Toronto last season. They must really be chasing Max Talbot.
New York Rangers sign F Mike Rupp to a three-year deal worth $4.5-million
Post take: Will be one of the stars of this year's HBO 24/7 series, along with new Flyer Max Talbot.
Edmonton signs F Ben Eager to a three-year, $3.4-million deal
Post take: You may recall Eager as the single worst forward for the San Jose Sharks in their Western Conference final series against Vancouver. No small feat given Dany Heatley's lack of participation in those five games. Not really sure why the Oilers didn't just keep Zack Stortini. Guess they need somebody to lay bad hits and protect the kids.
Colorado signs D Jan Hejda to a four-year, $13-million deal
Post take: And the Avalanche seemed so rational at the draft last week, taking the right players and everything. This will go down as one of the most head-scratching contracts of the summer.
Carolina signs G Brian Boucher to a two-year, $1.9-million deal
Post take: Hurricanes fans now immediately begin praying for Cam Ward's long-term health. Well, they should have been either way.
Montreal signs G Peter Budaj to a two-year, $2.3-million deal
Post take: The long, illustrious history of Colorado and Montreal goaltenders switching places has a new, relatively boring chapter.
Detroit re-signs F Patrick Eves to a three-year, $3.6-million deal
Post take: Good role player/fourth-line guy; able to chip in a few goals. Not an impact signing, but far more reasonable than the deal GM Ken Holland gave Jonathan Ericsson on Thursday.
Detroit signs D Mike Commodore to a one-year, $1-million deal
Post take: Just bought out by the Blue Jackets, now Detroit's sixth defenceman. Presuming they sign a No. 3 defenceman.
Dallas signs D Adam Pardy to a two-year, $2-million deal
Post take: Still have no idea how they're going to make it to the cap floor with tiny, likely NHL-approved signings.
Washington signs F Jeff Halpern to a one-year, $850K deal
Post take: A good depth signing for the Caps. Halpern wins faceoffs and occasionally makes a good offensive play. Started his career in Washington.
Edmonton signs F Darcy Hordichuk and D Cam Barker
Post take: Depth and nothing but. And yet, $2.25-million for Cam Barker seems a little steep, given that he was just bought out by Minnesota.
Dallas signs forwards Vernon Fiddler and Radek Dvorak
Post take: Pity poor Joe Nieuwendyk. At least he has the Hall of Fame ceremony to look forward to.
Chicago signs D Sean O'Donnell to a one-year, $850K deal
Post take: He and Jamal Mayers will make an excellent pair of healthy scratches.
Chicago signs F Jamal Mayers to a one-year, $550K deal
Post take: No comment.

I have been sitting at the edge of my seat waiting for the results, but, being a business man, I like your decision making. You did the right thing. No rush to jusgement, or even to please us, we are just the peanut gallery.
When you feel that the plane is ready, we are ready to cheer you on.
However, since some of us have construction in process, or are comtemplating our own similar project, we respect your caution as you are in a positon to save the rest of us aggravation and expense.
Good going
As a filler I'm attaching a few pix of my build I took today.
Note the fan shroud low point wud have been blocked by the original former if not ground down. Also kit in mind that with fan axis now about parallel to plane axis, the inlet air path is upward into fan after the intake.
Finally, note the tailpipe is about 1/8 smaller than the 4.28" OD of the fan shroud. It is constrained by the tailpipe cutout in former #6, which obviously needs to be enlarged. Formers #7 & #8 have large enuf cutouts. I also have to replace the #8 former in the kit I received as this former obviously moved during fabrication & got cured at about 15 to 20deg off vertical plane
I'll have pix of my full flying canard mods next.
Perhaps I've been too presumptous in posting my build in Bob's thread. Before I proceed any farther, I really shud ask Bob's permission, or opinion if I shud post my build in a new thread. But I'm also concerned that a separate thread may not be as continuously organized without repeating some items.

Thanks, Bob!
I've been contemplating shortening the ailerons & making the tip portion fixed. It seems to me that a forward sweep wing (FSW) can have a unique reaction shud the wing tips begin to stall. This will move the center of lift aft, increasing a nose down tendency, compared to a sweepback wing which moves the center tof lift forward. I'm wondering if this is a plausible explanation for tendency of FSW planes to tumble out of control? Making the tip bays fixed shud therefore help to delay wing tip stalls. Any feedback?
WOW, the dialog and expertice among this thread's participants is really impressive. I, for one, am really enjoying it. If we aren't carefull we might learn something.
Phil, obviously living in Oshkosh and being close to the once a year experimental event has allowed you to both share and learn some tricks of the trade.
By the way, almost all build threads contain multiple builds, however, did you notice that no two builds are alike. That's what makes participation so neat.
There is an on-line version of the CG calculator for Canard type planes. One of the entries allows for swept wings. I suspect that with this X-29 the sweep measurement would be entered as a negative number as it is swept forward. If someone wants to get a head ache they might try it out. Thats it, I'm not saying another word about CG.

Thanks for the kind words, Scalefan. I'm just a wanna be airplane expert. Yes, the spirit of aviation can rub off being close to the EAA.
I do want to see your CG calc program if you have a link for it. d_wcrash was suppose to sent his .xls program but had some problem with sending it thru the net. Perhaps he can activate the list formula function & just sent those as text; designating the cells that goes with them, of course.
Good input.
Phil, let me warn you, most hobbiests would rather use the "gut feel" method of CG determination.
I tried to introduce the normal CG calculator on another thread and I was nailed up, arrows were shot into me, then kindling was placed at the bottom and lit afire. To make matter worse, the author of the thread then proceeded to blast mathematics, science, aeronautical engineers, commercial pilots that use a program to determine CG for their passenger jets. They made fun of me for saying that a plane with a long fuse has a very wide safe area for flying. Sooooo, take your chances with the results. If everything is correct, the safe area for flying should fall somewhere between the 5% and 15% variable that is entered into the progarm.
It seems to me that instead of flaming me, perhaps all that was needed was to double check my entries into the program, as I measured the plane while it was sitting on the floor un-assembled. Accurate measurements are a must, and with a swept wing plane it's easy to make mistakes. From what I learned, a tapered wing is not a swept wing, but, that has nothing to do with this plane.

"Different strokes for different folks", as they say. Some just don't want to be bothered with the math I'm more of a sucker for working things out. One thing I've learned from the experimental builders: "measure 3-5 times & cut once" if one does not want to waste too much materials.
I've copied the input page so I can fill in all the required figures, then I'll try make a run of the CG program. Then maybe we can compare results. If this drags on till Airventure 09, I might even try asking Barnaby Wainfan for help
I've been doing CG same way as Darryl has; ie. using the CAD method. My track record? I tried it first time when I modifed the EJF F-18 by building mine with a much large LERX of the F version. Then I checked CG on my JHH F-4 & set it 1" forward where kit plan said it shud be. Then there was my KeeCat conversion where my CG was IIRC some 2.5" ahead of the kit manual. Tried moving these after maiden but all went back close to where my calcs determined. Guess it is beginners luck. But it shows my propensity for double checking.
BTW, I did go back to the NASA site last night & printed some 92 titles of technical reports on their X-29 work. Have marked some 15 for going back to read their abstracts when time permits; but did not see anything specific to CG. Perhaps most of the NASA folks take it for granted everyone there know how to work it out?
I'm sure you know and I know that CG is an absolute location based on the weight and balance computations. However, theory says that if the CG is within the safe range, it's OK to fly. I tried to say this, and again I was blasted into the black hole of the universe.
I really thought my comments would agree with the gut feel guys who adjust the CG location to suit their comfort zone for flying. I merely wanted to point out that CG can be moved and the plane will still fly good. The nitro and gas guys know that, they know that CG changes as fuel is burned or the landing gear is dropped.
Us electric guys need to learn that CG changes as the volts run out of the batteries or when parts fall off the plane in mid air. LOL
Al, that's a nice cg tool you have there. I have a very old Model Aviation mag that had the math for canard cg. Whenever I've done canards, I've had to dig it out. Having a web based one is nice.
Guessing is ok if you have the knack for it, but there's a lot more comfort when your guess gets backed up by some math! Airfoils and fuse shape can affect proper cg by quite a bit and then it gets really tricky.
BTW, cg ranges get bigger with wider wing chord. The fuse length only helps by putting the tail section further back. A larger or high aspect ratio tail does the same. For a canard, I'm sure it helps to have the surfaces further apart as well, which is hurting the X-29.
That plane sure looks like it could use some inlet ducts.
Good luck you guys!
Steve C
A few years ago I scratch-built a small proto X-29 for edf (MF480 sized).
Yesterday I re-computed the CG on your china arf, based on the pictures posted here before.
I found it can't be behind where the wing fairing attaches to the fuse...
Then a small paper model gives exactly the same result as my calculation, the plane goes wildly unstable with a CG behind the red dot.
With a CG at or ahead of the red dot, mine glides just fine
Good luck with it ... btw selling larger edfs without ducts should be considered a crime in 2009.

Hi, everyone. Another exciting episode.
Aw, Ollie's scared. "Take your shirt off, Jessie!" Ollie's made a funny.
"of course i'm gonna tell him exactly what he wants to hear ... i just want to see him fall"
go renny
These people are such sheep. And Jessie is a turd.
It was me. I let the dogs out.
Renny's definitely my fav. I hope she goes far in the game.
NO LIBRA! You are your own person, you could have voted out Jessie if you wanted.
These people need their own brain.
Steven : "How do you know today is the 14th?"

Photographer's Note
This was taken late in the afternoon and the light was so soft. The people in background were strolling on the sand so gently that it seemed to me to capture those last days of August where you just want to hold on to summer for a little longer. It's been cool and damp in the Pacific North West but, still lots of beautiful days like this to enjoy.

I can now let you know: We have been playing the long game. Amazing Spider-Man #698 is the magic trick. #699 is when we flip over all the cards. What you are going to see is, boy have we played a very long game. It's not a stunt. It's not a gimmick. It's not something we threw together slapdash at the last minute for Marvel NOW!. This has been something long in the making. You will see that all of the puzzle pieces leading up to this story have started back as far as Amazing Spider-Man #600, and every time we've seen Doc Ock, we've gotten a little closer.
I have said over and over again that after #700 comes out, I'm going into the bunker. I'm doing a signing for Midtown Comics for #700, but they have promised me bodyguards and a Popemobile. I've taken perverse pleasure in retweeting some of the more insane stuff, but to be honest, most of the stuff that's been coming in on my Twitter has been really positive. But it's kind of fun to take the most crazy-town-banana-pants stuff and put it up there. #698 is the end of the prelude, and the hero's been left in a very terrible predicament, with insurmountable odds. You know, I've never seen that happened in a cliffhanger before! I like all these people going, "Brain swap? Boo!" And you're like, "OK. The next time I see a bank heist in a comic, I'll be sure you attack that with equal vigor." Never seen that before.
This guy can go right into Avengers Tower and punch in every single secret code. You always have that scene where someone's pretending to be something they're not, and then their friend goes, "That reminds me of our adventures in Budapest." The person goes, "Ah, yes, Budapest," and the other person turns around and goes — "We were never in Budapest!" Forget that. That's out the window. He has access to all of Peter Parker and Spider-Man's memories, so there will be none of that.
We actually hemmed and hawed over lines — how much were we going to tip our hands? At what point do we give it away? The original line for that page was, "Peter, come visit your aunt in the hospital," and when he was putting on the tie, he was going to go, "When is that woman not in the hospital?" Then you looked at it, and you went, "Wow, that's too harsh." We thought about it again — we thought about that story where they were going to get married, and he has feelings for Aunt May, so why not "That dear sweet woman." That hit it right. It's just weird enough that you kind of go, "Man, they're not getting Peter's voice right this issue," but not weird enough that all the alarm bells go off. That was kind of tricky.
It was frustrating. It's not about how much the book sells, because if anything, that's going to help move more copies. If you're looking at it from a greedy point of view, that's going to get the word out there faster on the Internet that, "Oh my god, this issue is important, you better go out and buy it." People complain, "Marvel's just going to put up a news story on the day." "Marvel's going to spoil it, so why can't we?" And we didn't! We worked so hard. I drove people at Marvel nuts, saying, "Let's really try to get this out there, and have people experience it on the page." And everybody at Marvel worked so hard at that. We did everything we could to have it be a surprise for the readers.

The Simpsons Movie
Homer must save the world from a catastrophe he himself created. It all begins with Homer, his new pet pig and a leaky silo full of droppings--a combination that triggers a disaster the likes of which Springfield has never experienced. As Marge is outraged by Homer's monumental blunder, a vengeful mob descends on the Simpson household. The family makes a narrow escape but is soon divided by both location and conflict. The Springfield citizenry has every reason to be out for Simpson blood. The calamity triggered by Homer has drawn the attention of U.S. President Arnold Schwarzenegger and Environmental Protection Agency head Russ Cargill. "You know sir," Cargill tells the president, "when you made me head of the EPA, you were applauded for appointing one of the most successful men in America to the least successful agency in government. And, why did I take the job? Because I'm a rich man who wanted to give something back. Not the money, but something." That "something" is a devil's plan to contain the disaster. As the fates of Springfield and the world hang in the balance, Homer embarks on a personal odyssey of redemption--seeking forgiveness from Marge, the reunion of his splintered family and the salvation of his hometown.

Overall the Simpsons Movie is pretty good. They brought back some of the original writers from the earlier season of the Simpsons and it really paid off cause the earlier Simpsons episodes were leaps and bound funnier than what is on t.v now. It is pretty much like watching a hour and half episode of The Simpsons but it is funny enough to entertain from start to finish. If you like The Simpsons at all than you will like this movie. Since it was a movie they were able to get away with more in it. It has swearing and some content that is not suitable for kids so hence the PG-13 rating.December 5th, 2013 · Details

"The Simpsons Movie" is exactly what its title promises a feature-length cartoon that's based on the popular, long-running television series. In terms of some technical aspects, such as animation quality, it's not exactly state of the art. And it is a lengthier version of a concept that could work very well in the 30-minute format. Still, this is the one summer movie so far this year that really delivers in a big way. It's got bigger and better action than other bloated blockbusters, and it has bigger and better laughs that any of its comedic competition. In addition, there is also a surprising amount of heart and emotion. However, be warned that it's also considerably naughtier than the TV version. The Simpsons creators do some things here that they couldn't get away with on the small screen. The show's creators, James L. Brooks and Matt Groening, helped write this comedy-adventure, in which the entire community of Springfield has been endangered by Homer's selfishness and laziness. Homer dumps waste into an already polluted Lake Springfield, and an overzealous EPA official, Russ Cargill (voiced by Albert Brooks), uses extreme measures to prevent the toxicity from spreading. His crews have even placed a huge dome over Springfield, effectively sealing it off from the rest of the country. As a result, the Simpsons' fellow Springfieldians are ready to lynch Homer (Dan Castellaneta), who manages to whisk his family away to safety outside the dome. Homer is ready to start a new life in Alaska but his more sensible spouse Marge (Julie Kavner) wants to return to help the others. With nearly an hour more to fill than the show's television format, the filmmakers spoof other films (both live-action and animated), take shots at Fox Television and the Walt Disney Company, and keep the jokes flying at a fast-and-furious pace. But it's not all fun and games. There's a heady environmental message, as well as a redemptive pro-family message. The often-strained, father-son dynamic between Homer and Bart (Nancy Cartwright) is explored, as is a possible romance for the conscientious Lisa (Yeardley Smith). And, as always, the multitalented voice cast sounds like they're having a blast, as do guest performers Brooks, Tom Hanks and Green Day (which performs Danny Elfman's theme music). It's also worth sitting through the closing credits for three brief comic bits, one of them a song spoof. "The Simpsons Movie" is rated PG-13 for crude sexual and scatological humor (references and sight gags), and some suggestive language, animated violence (vehicular and explosive mayhem, slapstick and other comic violence), scattered profanity, animated nudity, and some brief drug content (toxic chemicals and knock-out gas). Running time: 87 minutes. E-MAIL: firstname.lastname@example.com 27th, 2007 · Details

Good news, fellows ... Jessica Simpson may soon be available. So for Heaven's sake start wearing collared shirts! (Preferably popped.) Word is that Tony Romo would like to dump her ... only she's not going easily. Hmm. Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction comes to mind here for some reason.
On Jan. 17, Tony called Jessica at her L.A. home to try to break things off. "He said he thought it was better if they went back to being friends," a pal of the singer tells OK!. "'Just friends' is not in Jessica's vocabulary, and she is not a victim. She knows how bad this will look in the media." But according to the pal, Jessica refused to give up, and so Tony invited her on what he thought would be the worst date of her life: a hunting trip! "It's Tony's way of punishing Jess," laughs her friend. "Jessica Simpson hunting — and without her entourage? Forget it!"
You know, to tell you the truth, I'm so sick of this whole thing I feel like hitting myself repeatedly in the head with a circus mallet. Dump her, keep her, I don't care! (Retires to bedroom, closes door, rips Romo-Simpson People Magazine cover to shreds. Pulls knees up to chin and cries).

I have not posted on a Saturday in a long time. I still have no plans but going to the movies and seeying Catwoman and the Bourne Supremacy sounds like a plan.
There is also some kind of pig festival going on at Bay City with pig races and such, might be fun to go take some pictures over there. Well, I guess we will have to wait and see… but probably what happens when you have too many plans you end up doing nothing. Back to cleaning 😛
