VtM: Bloodlines - Unofficial Patch v8.6 Released
Wesp has released his unofficial patch v8.6 update for Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines. Some of those tweaks are as follows:
We owe in unofficial patch community a ton for making this game playable. When it was first released, it was a bug ridden mess, but now it is running great even on a modern system. It would have been such a shame to see this gem fade into obscurity because of technical issues, when the core game is excellent.
This whole situation reminds me of Gothic 3. A good game (not as good as bloodlines or the first 2 gothics, but a solid open world RPG none the less) ruined by technical issues that the community saved.
It is astounding to see VtM:B still receive community patches after all these years. Kudos to them.
The community squaring things away on this game is essentially the gold standard that nigh every substantial PC game should hope for if for nothing else than the sake of posterity---this lot and the folks behind Circle of 8 for Temple of Elemental Evil are utterly invaluable.

Students at Badger question spate of tragedies
Five car accidents have claimed the lives of three students, injured 23 more, might result in homicide charges against one and have left a community wondering why.
�Nothing�s related,� Principal Steve McNeal said of the accidents. �It�s just bad luck.�
But the students and staff at Badger are holding up, even in the wake of the latest car crash to affect the school.
Junior Krystal A. Hart, 16, faces a potential charge of homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle after a head-on crash that killed a 54-year-old Delavan man Nov. 3.
�I think the student reaction is yet to come on that one,� McNeal said.
He said the students are talking�wondering especially �how much trouble (Hart) is going to get into��but the school won�t speculate on details.
�It�s not our business,� McNeal said. �That�s not what we�re here for.
�Let them read it in the paper. They don�t need to hear it from somebody here.�
Rather, the school�s role is one of support, he said, for students involved in or affected by an incident and for students who just want to better understand.
Reaction to tragedy takes precedence.
�Everything is dropped,� guidance counselor Tom Leahy said. �Everything we had planned for the day, the week, is put aside. Whenever we lose someone or have a tragedy, that comes to the forefront.�
But the school assumes its role quietly�no announcement, no all-school assembly, just a calm offering of support for those who need it.
Senior Maggie Schmidt, 17, said that approach only fuels the rumor mill. Once the facts are available, she said, the students should be informed.
�Just tell us�not piece-by-piece�flat out,� Schmidt said.
�We�re old enough to accept it,� 18-year-old senior Max Mandich said.
McNeal said the school doesn�t want to place undue burden on staff in times of crisis, which is why they are asked to stick only to the most pertinent facts. Leahy said he doesn�t feel comfortable being a go-to person for the details about an incident.
�It�s not my position,� he said. �My position is to work with the soul and heart of a kid.�
But students continue to question, McNeal said. They want to know why accidents keep happening.
�There�s no answer to that,� he said. �We know things cycle, and we�re in a really bad cycle right now.�
Schmidt said the friendships at Badger have grown closer in light of what�s happened the last 12 months.
�We�re not taking things for granted,� she said.
Although tragedy has the potential to bring people down, Mandich said morale has gone up.
�We�re sticking together,� he said, �not breaking apart.�
-- Principal Steve McNeal is notified a Badger student has been killed in a car accident.
-- McNeal meets with the school�s police liaison or another official to obtain information about the accident.
-- McNeal assembles the school�s crisis team, which includes the principal, psychologist, social worker, guidance counselors, police liaison and others (e.g. teachers or clergy) depending on the situation. The team learns the facts about the accident.
-- The crisis team determines who is affected by the accident and how best to inform staff.
-- The team meets face-to-face with the student�s family and close friends to determine what the school can do to help. It then meets with the student�s teachers and other friends.
-- Counselors from the school or an outside agency gather to offer support to those students and staff.
-- The school contacts parents of grieving students to alert them of the tragedy. Parents often choose to pick up their children from school that day.
-- A counseling center is set up for any other students or staff.
-- The crisis team meets again at the end of the day to evaluate its response and make plans for the next day.
-- An announcement is made the next day regarding the tragedy. A moment of silence is observed. Students are made aware of counseling resources.
Nov. 3, 2007: 16-year-old Badger High School junior Krystal A. Hart faces a potential charge of homicide by intoxicated use of a motor vehicle after a head-on collision that killed 54-year-old Everardo Chimal Lopez around 2:45 a.m. on County H in Geneva Township.
Oct. 12, 2007: Nine Badger High School junior varsity soccer players are injured in a school bus-sport utility vehicle accident around 6:30 p.m. on Highway 120 in Lyons Township. The driver and passenger in the SUV are killed.
June 21, 2007: 17-year-old Badger High School junior Ross A. Kolb is killed in a car-truck accident around 3:15 p.m. on Westside Road in Linn Township. Three other Badger students are involved in the accident, but not seriously injured.
April 26, 2007: Two 17-year-old Badger High School students, sophomore Brent Michael Konecny and junior Monica Murphy, are killed on their way to school when their vehicle collides with a dump truck around 7:15 a.m. at Highway 120 and County H in Bloomfield Township.
Dec. 7, 2006: 14 students from Badger High School and Lake Geneva Middle School and a bus driver are injured in a chain-reaction accident involving two school buses and an SUV around 3 p.m. on Broad Street in Lake Geneva.

Moderate cleric Hassan Rowhani was declared Iran's new president on Saturday, ending eight years of conservative grip on the top office in a victory cheered in the streets and cautiously welcomed by world powers.
Tens of thousands of jubilant Iranians took to the streets of Tehran, toting pictures of 64-year-old Rowhani and chanting pro-reform slogans as news of his victory spread.
Rowhani was declared outright winner with 50.68 percent of votes cast in Friday's vote.
In his first statement after his win was confirmed, he called on world powers to treat Iran with respect and recognise its rights, an apparent allusion to its controversial nuclear policy.
"This is a victory of intelligence, of moderation, of progress... over extremism," Rowhani said.
"A new opportunity has been created by this great epic, and the nations who tout democracy and open dialogue should speak to the Iranian people with respect and recognise the rights of the Islamic republic," he said.
Then they will "hear an appropriate response," he added.
Rowhani is a former top nuclear negotiator who has championed more constructive engagement with world powers.
He won outright against five conservative candidates with 18.6 million votes, Interior Minister Mohammad Mostafa Najjar said.
That was enough to ensure there would be no run-off against the runner-up, Tehran mayor Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who came a distant second with 6.07 million votes.
Iran's current nuclear negotiator with world powers, Saeed Jalili, trailed in third place with 3.17 million votes.
Najjar said 36.7 million people, or 72.7 percent of the electorate, had voted.
Outgoing President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was constitutionally barred from standing again, having served two consecutive terms.
Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's website hailed Rowhani on his victory.
"Congratulations to the people and to president-elect Hojatoleslam Hassan Rowhani," Khamenei's Internet site leader.ir reported.
"I urge everyone to help the president-elect and his colleagues in the government, as he is the president of the whole nation."
Western countries gave Rowhani's win a cautious welcome.
The United States said it was prepared to engage Iran directly over its disputed nuclear programme following his win.
The White House said such engagement would be aimed at reaching a "diplomatic solution that will fully address the international community's concerns about Iran's nuclear program."
We're on a mission to show you the real Middle East.

The West suspects Iran's nuclear program is aimed at building nuclear weapons, but Iran insists it is for peaceful purposes like generating energy.
Rowhani has previously vowed to restore diplomatic ties with the US, which cut relations in the aftermath of the 1979 seizure of the US embassy by Islamist students.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged Iran to play a "constructive role" in regional and international affairs, his office said in a message congratulating Rowhani and welcoming the reported high turnout.
EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said in a statement she was committed to working with Rowhani to find a "swift diplomatic solution" on finding a solution to the disputed nuclear programme.
Ashton serves as chief negotiator for the six world powers seeking to check Iran's controversial nuclear ambitions.
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said Paris was "ready to work" with Rowhani, with the country's nuclear programme and its involvement in the Syrian conflict high on the agenda.
Britain urged Rowhani to set the Islamic republic "on a different course".
But Israel said it was Khamenei who decides on nuclear policy, not the president.
"After the election, Iran will continue to be judged by its acts, in the nuclear field as well as that of terrorism," a foreign ministry statement said.
The Jewish state, the region's sole if undeclared nuclear power, has not ruled out a military strike to prevent Iran developing an atomic bomb.
The key opposition Syrian National Coalition called on Rowhani to review support for Syria's President Bashar al-Assad.
Rowhani inherits an economy that has been badly hit by EU and US sanctions targeting the key oil and banking sectors because of its nuclear programme.
Friday's vote was the first since the disputed 2009 re-election of Ahmadinejad triggered massive street protests by supporters of his rivals, that were crushed in a deadly crackdown.
In 2003, when Rowhani was top nuclear negotiator under Khatami, the Islamic republic agreed to suspend its controversial enrichment of uranium.
That programme resumed two years later when Ahmadinejad was first elected.
In campaigning, Rowhani pledged to move to ease the sanctions, which have hit hard. Inflation is more than 30 percent, the rial has lost nearly 70 percent of its value and unemployment is rising.
Rowhani is a representative of Khamenei on the Supreme National Security Council, Iran's top security body, and was its secretary for 16 years until 2005.
He has played up his relations with the supreme leader, who has the final say on all key issues, including the nuclear programme.
The 2009 protests that followed Ahmadinejad's re-election led to the eventual house arrest of opposition candidates Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi, and the widespread suppression of reformists.
Former president Mohammad Khatami's endorsement of Rowhani for president gave birth to an online movement, with social networkers urging those favoring abstention not to waste their votes.

By: Jenn Lormand ACE- CPT, BS. Exercise Physiology, Author of mommymovement: new baby. new body. new life.
I know what you are thinking, "Jenn don't be so dramatic!" Well I'm really not. One small change compounded over time can absolutely change your life! We all know this concept but aren't always aware of all of the small and seemingly insignificant choices we make throughout the day. These choices can help us or hurt us.
Let me explain. Take our 90/10 Nutritional principle that we use for example. We know through scientific research that if you blow out 10% of your weekly meals (that's 2 meals) that you can still not only maintain your weight but lose weight. This is because the other 19 meals you are eating clean and healthfully staying in the calorie range that's right for you. This consistent effort allows you to continue to lose weight. On the flipside of that, if you consumed 150 calories more than normal every day, over the next 6 months you would gain about 8 lbs assuming that you didn't increase your activity level any. This is just one example of how we can use this principle to work for us or against us; hence the title of this article- One small change can change your life!
So what small change are you going to make that can change your life for the better? Is it committing to save $1.00/day? Is it tracking each penny you spend to help bring awareness to where you can save money? Is it committing to change your mind set by focusing on what you are grateful for each day and writing it down? Is it keeping a food journal to help you lose weight or gain weight? Is it keeping an exercise log to help you see how many minutes you are really working out?
Whatever it is I want you to commit, with me, to track one thing that can help you change your life. When you do this every day NO MATTER WHAT- you will get the results you want …AND THEN SOME. This is "The Secret" to success. No…this isn't going to be immediate gratification, it will be even BETTER. It will be moving towards feeling AMAZING over the long-term. It will help you realize that the true secret to success is doing the simple things consistently!
So if you are still reading this article, I am asking you to not just read this, but take action on it. Write down these questions.
What area of your life do you want to improve?
What is one small change that you can make that will help you get there?
Write it down and do a gut check. If you look at your answer and think, "I'm not sure I can do that." then go smaller.
What is one baby step that you can take towards that goal?
You will know that you have chosen something that you can repeat consistently when you think to yourself "Is this really the little thing that I'm going to do? This feels too simple!" If that's what you are thinking, then you are on the right track. Start doing that one thing every day and then as you begin to not have to think about doing it every day, and you do it automatically guess what happens?? You have created a new GOOD HABIT!
At that point repeat this process with a different action step until you have created a LIFESTYLE that supports the person you want to be!! That's how simple creating the life that you want can be….one small change at a time, and that is what we at Ascension Fitness are about ONE BODY. ONE LIFE. COMMIT to one small change today and MAKE IT GREAT!

"The dog ate my homework" and other classic fibs are legendary in classrooms across the country. When it comes to giving an explanation for a missing or incomplete assignment, students can be masters of excuses.
But children aren't the only ones playing that game. Adults have a knack for it, too. And in the case of rationalizing educational failure, some excuses are as tired as that dog with an inexplicable appetite for paper.
No doubt you've heard the one about poverty, which may be the leading excuse for academic failure. It's so common that if a school is in a low-income neighborhood, it is presumed to be low achieving. President Bush has criticized this, rightly, as "the soft bigotry of low expectations."
This defeatist outlook only reinforces -- and perhaps even deepens -- academic failure. Low-income students eligible for the federal free and reduced-price lunch program score significantly below their peers in all subjects tested by the National Assessment of Educational Progress. On the 2003 NAEP math and reading assessments, only 15% of these low-income fourth-graders scored at or above the proficient levels in these subjects.
The status quo is sobering, and the challenges are real. True, children from low-income homes may not begin life surrounded by all the educational enrichments their peers enjoy. And yes, the academic record of students from disadvantaged backgrounds typically has not been good. But should we then concede victory to the culture of victimhood and write off these children? Of course not.
Failure, we've found, doesn't have to be a foregone conclusion. A few years ago, The Heritage Foundation searched out schools serving disadvantaged students, seeking to identify examples of those defying low expectations and achieving academic excellence. We profiled 21 of these high-performing, high-poverty schools and looked for common themes in their strategies for success.
Take Cascade Elementary in Atlanta, where students continue to leave state averages in the Georgia dust. In this school, where nearly all students are black and more than three out of four qualify for the free-lunch program, 93% of second-grade students met the state standard for English language arts in 2002. The results are persistent throughout other grade levels: Eighty-eight percent of fifth-graders met the state standard.
In Chicago's George Washington Elementary, 80% of the student body qualifies for free lunches, but no one makes excuses. These students' strong suit is writing: In 1999 and 2000, a full 100% of fifth-graders met the state standard. Ninety-two percent did so in 2002. (The state average in 2002, by the way, was 59% of students meeting the standard.) Meanwhile, student scores on math and reading tests in each of those years well exceeded the state average.
What makes the difference at schools like Cascade and Washington? For starters, it takes a strong principal with vision. "What we do is not rocket science," Cascade principal Dr. Alfonso Jessie Jr. said in describing how he leads his school. He emphasizes personal attention to students, testing and basic skills, and he works closely with parents to ensure that home environments reinforce strong learning habits.
Principals at other successful schools, such as Frederick Douglass Academy in New York, had similar strategies. In fact, there were a number of common excellence-producing strategies at all 21 of the schools, including:
- Principals are free to make decisions and innovate.
- Principals use measurable goals to establish a culture of achievement.
- Master teachers bring out the best in a faculty.
- Rigorous and regular testing leads to continuous student achievement.
- Achievement is the key to discipline.
- Principals work actively with parents to make the home a center of learning.
The final lesson from these high-achievers is that school is hard work. There is no substitute for effort on the part of everyone involved.
The art of teaching is to move each child closer to his or her potential. The art of leading a school is to create a culture of rigorous excellence in which good teachers are challenged to thrive and students flourish as a result.
Young people tend to live up -- or down -- to our expectations of them. Let's not give them a reason to make excuses.

I'm getting a distinctly nutty flavour this time around but it isn't a 'heavy' taste and the tea still tastes quite smooth and light in the mouth. This was just a small sample and I've maybe got enough leaves left for one more small cup. is a sad panda

Ha!! So I have tried this before. Too funny. This was a to go cup in the store.
I quite enjoyed my it this time, was very lemony and smooth, in a good way. Not sure I'd want some for the house as I'd only ever want a cup every few months or so but it'd certainly be interesting to try iced, as was recommended to me in my last note, and by the girl at the cash.
I met up with Raritea today, and we attended the grand opening of Cha, they had treats and tea cocktails, and of course… free tea! It was alot of fun, I wish it was an annual event :)
So Cha is a monthly subscription where you take a quiz and based on the results you get a monthly tea set. Great for people who are just starting out and have no idea what they like. I'd recommend it. AND they are affiliated with a clean water charity.

Auto journalist crashes Lexus IS F because he's an auto journalist
This wrecked Lexus IS F gave its life so you can read about what it's like to drive an IS-F. Oh, wait. No it wasn't. It was crashed because automakers team up with "professional automotive journalist organizations" for these annual drives that only create any journalism when someone wrecks a car.

The Harrison County YMCA was showing off its renovated pool Friday.
Representatives from the City of Clarksburg, Y staff, and donors were all on hand for the ribbon cutting event.
Improvements include poolside bleachers, a new air system, and a brand new scoreboard.
Executive Director Pat McGahan said the new improvements will be noticed across the community.
"It's just not the one area, it's the whole thing. It's for the water aerobics, the swim lessons, and for all the community when they come in for free swim. It's all for them, as well as for the swim team," McGahan said.
The new pool will hold its first big meet this weekend, as the Y hosts the Clarksburg Classic on Sunday.
McGahan also credited volunteers from the community for helping to make the new work a reality. Those volunteers included parents of kids on the Y swim team, and other area businesses that donated money to support those improvements.
Harry Green Chevrolet also donated a significant amount to the project.
The Y has renamed the new facility after Green.

Coffee in the Beginning - Until the middle of the 19th century coffee roasting was carried out by the individual coffee houses & was often done at home. Therefore there was no real demand for pre-packed coffee, however when large scale commercial roasting was introduced this changed.
Prepacked Coffee - The main benefit of the introduction of commercial roasting was that through packaging, the freshness of the coffee could be preserved for longer.
Douwe Egberts vacuum packs thier coffees to ensure they are in optimum condition when they reach your home. The roast & ground coffee is very delicate & the quality & flavour can deteriorate when it comes into contact with oxygen.

Kane Richardson has played a solitary ODI last month against Sri Lanka in which he went wicketless. He did not go dollarless at the auction though, with Pune bagging him for $700,000.
The 21-year-old Australian had a decent campaign with the Adelaide Strikers in the Big Bash, grabbing 10 wickets in 8 games.
He gets bragging rights over his Australian captain and Pune teammate, Michael Clarke, who went for only $400,000.

The Radeon X1300 Pro Reference Board from ATI
We disassembled the video card heatsink to take a look, see Figure 4. As you can see, the entire heatsink is made of copper.
Figure 4: Video card with its heatsink detached.
Figure 5: The entire heatsink is made of copper.
This video card uses eight GDDR2 256-Mbit 2.5 ns chips from Infineon (HYB18T256161AF-25)to give it 256 MB of video memory (256 Mbits x 8 = 256 MB). These chips can run up to 800 MHz. Since this video card accesses the memory at 800 MHz there is no room for memory overclocking inside the memory's specifications. But of course you can try overclock it over its specs. Keep in mind that we are talking about a pre-production sample; the final model from ATI partners can use a different memory chip model.
Figure 6: 2.5 ns GDDR2 memory chip used by ATI Radeon X1300 Pro reference board.
The reference board doesn't have video capture function (VIVO). However, as you can see on the left hand side in Figure 4, there is a place on the board to have an ATI Rage Theater chip soldered in the future, if an ATI partner wants to release a model with VIVO function.

Renewable Energy Options
Renewable energy can be used to displace electricity, water heating or space heating with fossil fuels. Using renewable fuel also reduces greenhouse gas emissions and conserves the use of fossil fuels. These tools will help estimate the energy production from solar photovoltaic panels, solar hot water panels, wind turbines, biogas from anaerobic digesters and biomass such as wood, wood pellets, corn and prairie grass pellets. Before investing in renewable energy production, it is usually more cost effective to invest in energy conserving equipment and processes to reduce your energy demands as much as possible. This has the added benefit of reducing the size and investment cost of renewable energy technologies.

OTTAWA - Daniel Alfredsson skated onto the ice Saturday afternoon for practice at the Canadian Tire Centre and it felt like old times.
Everything was familiar: The trip to the rink from the club's hotel and walking into the building. Yup, it all looked the same, except when Alfredsson led the stretch at centre ice he was wearing a Detroit Red Wings jersey.
The 20,000-plus fans who pack the building for Alfredsson's returns Sunday night and the national audience watching on TSN will get their chance to celebrate his homecoming at the place he made a name for himself.

These Couplet Football poems are examples of Couplet poems about Football. These are the best examples of Couplet Football poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
If you don't find the poem you want here, try our incredible, super duper, all-knowing, advanced poem search engine.
The poem(s) are below...
>I am not a keen fan of football, although I did play for my team when in the army, I played left outside, sorry I mean outside left. Watching the TV the other night. Something triggered my brain cell to write about:-
The Football.
The football I used long ago.
Was made of leather, now you know.
Inside it had a bag of air.
I do not kid, it was just there.
Was not light, took quite a kick.
If headed, made you feel quite sick.
Men were men, in days of old.
I was one. So just be told.
Watched a match. The other day.
On TV when I switched on I say.
Was that a beach ball? I did see.
In pretty colours, he he he.
As I watched the match a while.
With just a tap, ball flew a mile.
Well not quite that far, it's true.
But tap it about, players did do.
Were some players swimmers, for they did dive.
Brought on my face, a certain smile.
Earn't a penalty. One did do.
Missed scoring the goal, he did it's true.
Football rose high in the air.
If rugby two points would be there.
But kick that ball, they sure did do.
So could my missus, I'm telling you.
She'd get that ball in the net.
As none would dare stop her, of that I'll bet.
But as that football looks so gay.
With pretty colours, I meant to say.
I guess them men could play all day.
As no one took their ball away.
Pretty ball diving too.
Is that football? I'm asking you.
If boys and girls come out to play.
They use balls like that every day.
Oh! It's hero worship, did you say?
Playing with coloured footballs today.
Well on that footnote I'm away.
To colour my football today.
I have to thank Dragon's auto punctuation for commas and full-stops. Although I had to type this statement myself as all Dragon did was , and . Have a nice day all you who read this here. If you do not, well I hope you have a nice day anyway, but you will never know I said that will you? (The mad Author)<

Not Be Another
No matter what may be Patriot's Play scheme,
None if it ever would spoil Seahawk's dream
And what appears to me to be amazing
Is having a football that people were hazing.
What unpleasant things to a football could you do?
Making it take a bounce not known to be true,
Or suppose something to football you applied
Which made ball slick after it had dried.
How about discovering a doctored up baseball;
Started to curve and then downward would fall,
After surface someone started to scratch;
Maybe for me they might make up a batch.
What if my basketball was underinflated?
And for a while longer we all had waited;
Ball now was much narrower each shot I took
Even if a free throw or could be a hook.
Who me my friend have an unfair advantage;
To my cruddy character apply a long bandage.
And when in Super Bowl, Series or World Cup,
Should never again be another cover up.
James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran

Mean Joe Greene number seventy-five
kept the Pittsburgh Steelers alive
was a solid wall on that frontline
and sacking the quarterback was fine
the Steel Curtain was solid back then
in the seventies they'd always win
that was the decade of the Steelers
take your rookie card to a dealer
and maybe it is worth some green
never forgetting mean Joe Greene

In same brotherhood of fanship, all sit together as the representative
every field command to their favour gives the great feeling of an executive.
Stamping a noisy presence even when down is so brave
going further below despite this act is getting closer to the grave.
Hitting hard a hated enemy in a famous rivalry- nothing this glorious
waving flags, raising banners and loud chants throws any intimidation towards us.
Labels of victory and the waves of Mexico, we always create
standing at the opposite side of the arena, the wailers can hate.
Fully packed attendance, what's at stake insignificant to the showcasing pride
equilibrium shifts as it brings out sweat from the losing side.
Already one up, the wave movement on this side gives a fresher air
deviating from its initial circulation to ensure it is fair.
An intriguing contest is proven from a scoreboard so unstable
swinging between alerted minds and broken hearts at each turn of the table.
That moment all have been waiting for when the icon is introduced
already known flicks and tricks fully anticipated- he'll reproduce.
After the game's conclusion, the final whistle makes faces glow
giving the other side the need for their bowed heads to grow
As happy fans enjoy the blessings of a glorious institution
while their counterparts demand from their heroes an immediate restitution.

Quizmasters often test mentalities,
by asking folks to name pluralities,
of things of many different sorts.
Like, soldiers might be called 'cohorts'.
There are 'flights' of geese and jets and stairs,
my socks are sometimes found in 'pairs'.
A young girl's curls could hang in 'bangs',
and crooks might hang about in 'gangs'.
Such gangs could join to form a 'mafia',
alas that only rhymes with 'raffia'.
Apes, as you'd know, can make a 'shrewdness',
could rednecks joined become a 'rudeness'?
And though Collingwood fans are two a penny,
more than one is just 'Too Bloody Many'.
Unless you have been in the same pub or football ground with Collingwood fans, or on the same train or tram or continent, you will never understand.

hit or miss
kicker's fist
between the goal post
win given a toast
miss brings sadness
and thought of less
a field goal
is your toll
for a kicker's life
sharper than a knife

Switching channels, trying to stay on top
Mannings and Favre are the cream of the crop
Afraid to miss a single great play
Is this how a lady should spend her Sunday?
Vikings fans stand up and cheer
Purple and gold are winning this year
Look like dem Saints gonna 'Brees' (Understood?)
No more bags, no more 'Ain'ts" (Better knock on some wood!)
Not much success for the Tampa Bay Bucs
But faithful fans are still wishing them luck
The Giants appear to be bouncing back
Eli and team mates try to regain their track
Great quarterbacks like Luckman and Tittle
Let's hope our Giants remain "fit as a fiddle"
Touchdowns and field goals get fans outta their seats
While I scream and applaud, my cheerleading repeats
Reviews and replays are part of this game
As great football legends, their names shall remain
Let's get ready to watch game of football.
It's the number one game to watch in the fall.
Choose a team that will be a winner.
Watch the game just before dinner.
Oklahoma sooners is my team who's yours?
Many thanks to the football fans who contributed, including Linda-Marie Bariana, Karen
O'Leary, Tim Ryerson, Matthew Annish and Teresa Skyles (the Sooner fan!).

Patriot's Play Scheme
Should I make love or leave well enough alone?
Even though may be young teen or fully grown;
My decision, what things will it be affected by?
Nothing works out no matter how hard I try.
My life bottomed out and became abysmal,
Yet I will struggle and continue on still;
Even often by bad things I am bothered,
And may have hooped much and also hollered.
What must I make out of all this musty mess?
So I can be sure to obtain and reach success
After many great throws my balls would land
Exactly where I eagerly, earnestly had planned.
On one dastard day luckily learned how to dance;
In much more time, appearing to be a spance
I religiously became such a romantic soul
After one shot ball (Eagle) ended up in a hollow hole.
My worried mind became such a heavy load,
And I humorously decided to hit a long road
To recovery being that God and of course I
Won't use footballs having air in short supply.
Passes and drives landed which went so far;
After pretentious putts I made ended up par;
Personal sports psychology became prophetic;
Patriots play scheme seemed to be so pathetic.
James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran
What Am I leading Up To.
You often will wonder what phrases mean,
Like a little lean or maybe even green;
You should try one on for size,
Or to me it might be a big surprise.
Things are turbulent underneath, not on surface;
Performance was like that of a three ring circus;
You should see me in my great auto gravure;
Compared to today was simple, plain and pure.
Run was made right down the middle
By player found to befit as a fiddle;
There might be some Obama trauma;
Should have ended with death of Osama.
Now new Congress is all nestled down
And word has been spread all over town,
Mighty Seahwaks met there greatest goal,
Which was to end up in the Super Bowl.
Sounds like they are starting a new trend;
When game will be tied at the end;
After so hard each one of them did try,
Pass landed in receiver's hands sent from the sky.
From sky view camera all of it could be seen;
Every player looked like a bouncing bean;
Outright owner whose first name is Tall Paul
Ended up with a big trophy and a game ball.
James Thomas Horn
I can speak French and sometimes Chinese
I can also speak cat with some ease
When he miaows at me as he goes
I mimic his call and he knows
When the dog barks I reply
Even the horse and I see eye to eye
But I can't speak "woman"
It's beyond the speech power of a man.
I can't talk for hours about shoes
And discuss the merits of mauves or blues
Or share the humour of how pink bows
Don't go with green pillows
And go all weepy over Meryl Streep
Or wax lyrical over some punk-rock creep
Or persuade some guy to discuss flowers
Rather than the size of the nuclear powers
.. . . . so she said. . . . so then I said. . .
And she whispered. . . . and her face went red. . . .
No it's impossible to spend hours on the phone
I'd rather sit watching football all alone
It's futile me trying to pretend
An interest in what gift to send
Or remember birthdays wi th accuracy
Such a task would drive me crazy
God save me from female speech
Let me speak "man", I beseech
Just let me sit alone and grunt
Or maybe shoot, fish, and hunt
And talk to the dog about football facts
Or maybe to the car while I wax.

In 2016, the Golden State Warriors returned from the brink of defeat. Down by Oklahoma three games to one, they achieved an incredible feat.
Who would have believed they would shortly share an identical scenario? Yes , they too were defeated when Cleveland portrayed the NBA horror.
Great teams, recovering from sore defeats, believe there's always tomorrow. They learn to rise from the ashes, and dismiss their agony and their sorrow.
Often, if they believe and don't give up, tomorrow may arrive the same day; Like Boston's Brady Bunch, who revived to beat the Falcons in a remarkable way.
And then there were the Cubs, downed by the Indians three games to one. Who would have believed that Cleveland would go on to win none?

The Oklahoma Sooners are my favorite team.
Their school colors are crimson and cream.
They can run a ball and score real high.
Make the other team fumble and cry.
Yeah Boomer Sooners.

Lone Star Watchdog
December 21, 2010
What right does a privately owned bank, not a government agency, have to tell another privately owned bank to remove all vestiges of Christianity from its bank? That is what has happened in Perkins, Oklahoma. They were ordered to remove anything that said Merry Christmas and Bible verse of the day. Employees could not wear any crosses or pins resembling the Christian faith:
Specifically, the feds believed, the symbols violated the discouragement clause of Regulation B of the bank regulations. According to the clause, "…the use of words, symbols, models and other forms of communication … express, imply or suggest a discriminatory preference or policy of exclusion."
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
- {openx:49}
Now I say who is next? Under the new banking reform law that passed congress and signed into law this year. Is this part of the new Financial dictatorship of the Federal Reserve telling the country who is the boss? Who are the winners and losers in this new economy? Will they tell me who has a mortgage I can not have home bible studies and have to take down any crosses in my Home since they hold the bank note. If I run a business selling lamps. I have a cross and a painting of Jesus preaching in the sermon on the mount. Will I have to remove the expression of my faith from my place of business by the order of this new economic dictator called the Federal Reserve Bank? This Central Bank which congress turned over its constitutional authority to.
Fresh food that lasts from eFoodsDirect (AD)
These Bankers have thrown people out of there homes, they have looted our nation and they robbed the dignity of the common person. Now they want to take away the faith of many people.There religious freedom they cling to. They want to rob the people of any hope. Today they go after a bank. Tomorrow what privet business will they attack next? Telling them they can not have any form of Christianity. We must stop them here. If we allow them to tell banks what to do. Who will they go after next?

The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries saw tremendous expansion of the Russian domain. Russian pioneers, in search of furs to sell and new land to settle, led the way, and the government followed. Frontiersmen in Russia were known as Cossacks. Cossack communities gradually became more settled, and two Cossack republics, one on the Dnieper River, the other on the Don, were set up. As time passed, more Cossack groups formed along the Volga River, in the Ural Mountains and elsewhere.
The frontier movement took the Russians eastward into the Urals and on across Siberia. Far more slowly, because of Tatar, Turkish, and Polish opposition, the Russians also moved southeast toward the Caucasus and south toward the Black Sea. Repeated wars were fought with Poland over the Ukraine. Sometimes the Cossacks favored the Poles and sometimes the Russians.
By 1682 the Poles were weakening and were soon to yield. On the European frontiers it was the Swedes, still controlling the Baltic coast, against whom Russia's future wars would be fought. There were also constant struggles with the Tatars of the Crimea. The Ottoman Turks, overlords of the Tatars, held the key fort of Azov and controlled the Black Sea. But in 1681 they abandoned most of their holdings in the Ukraine to the czars.

Los Angeles - the land of bronzed celebrities, Southern California sun and a legendary surf. Although this city of nearly 3.8 million residents may have a reputation of being a bit plastic, you're sure to find a number of time-tested relics that only grow better with age. Book your tickets and rental car in Los Angeles today to see some of the West Coast's classiest remains.
Old timers with elegance
Few things age quite as nicely as a well-kept car. Some of the finest examples of automobiles from the 1898 through 1997 can be found at The Nethercutt Museum, so why not drive your modern-day Los Angeles rental car over to Bledsoe Street for a visit? From perfectly polished Model Cs to Mercedes dating back to 1913, this collection of 250-plus vehicles is sure to satiate any car lover's appetite. The museum also houses a number of coins, nickelodeons, music boxes and phonographs, all beautifully well-preserved.
Words speak louder
While a number of Los Angeles hot spots have gone in and out of style throughout the ages, the Hollywood Sign remains a sought-after landmark in the metropolitan area. Drive your Los Angeles car rental up Beachwood for the best views of the 450-foot-long behemoth, which has been an icon in the sunny city since 1923.
Skylights and spotlight
The bright lights of Los Angeles are so expansive that they may be difficult to really appreciate if you don't stop to let them soak in. For great panoramic vistas, you'll need to drive your Los Angeles car rental to Griffith Park. Comprised of more than 4,000 acres, you'll see not only L.A.'s darling skyline, but a number of its natural attractions as well. Spend the afternoon on horseback, or go for a bike ride along one of the park's many trails.
While here, you can also visit the Autry National Center, a museum dedicated to everything that exudes the American West. The museum also stays true to the city's commitment to revamping its traditional offerings to pay homage to often overlooked groups. For example, in addition to its several collections of First Nations relics and artwork, the Autry also houses exhibits dedicated to highlighting contributions that women and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals made to shaping the American West.
Slip behind the wheel of one of Thrifty's Los Angeles rental cars, and suddenly the glittering world of the "City of Angels" is at your beck and call.
From convertibles to minivans, compact cars to luxury sedans, you'll find the perfect car rental in Los Angeles (and our lowest price guaranteed). Plus, when you sign up for the Blue Chip Express Rental Program®, you can get faster counter service and even earn a free day's car rental for every 16 days you rent from Thrifty. Go ahead. Sign up, find your car rental and hit the road! Because in L.A., the action waits for no one.
Packed with beaches, restaurants, shopping and sights, in Los Angeles it's hard to know where to begin. So to get you started, below are a few hot spots you'll want to cruise to with the top down (or at least the windows down).
With a few great stops on your agenda, now is the perfect time to browse our Los Angeles rental cars and plan your next getaway. Just book your car rental online and when you arrive, we'll have it ready and waiting.

Prolapsed Uterus (cont.)
Prolapsed Uterus Treatment
Treatment depends on how weak the supporting structures around the uterus have become.
Prolapsed Uterus Self-Care at Home
The pelvic muscles can be strengthened by performing exercise. However, most of the support defects that are evident when uterine prolapse occurs are not dependent on the strength of the pelvic musculature. Repetitive childbirth injury, as well as other factors previously listed, tears the supporting ligaments surrounding the vagina. More importantly, a strong tissue layer called endopelvic fascia is torn as the vagina is stretched by the passage of delivering babies through the vaginal canal. While contraction of the pelvic muscles may alleviate mild urinary leakage which occurs with increased intra-abdominal pressure (e.g. coughing, sneezing), such exercises will not correct any of the more profound defects associated with uterine prolapse.
Prolapsed Uterus Medications
Estrogen replacement therapy may be used to help the body strengthen the muscles in and around the vagina. Estrogen cream or suppositories inserted into the vagina help in restoring the strength and vitality of tissues in the vagina but only in selected postmenopausal women. Estrogen therapy may be contraindicated (such as in a people with certain types of cancer) and has been associated with certain health risks including increased risk of blood clots and stroke, particularly in older postmenopausal women. Estrogen therapy will not heal damaged tissues responsible for uterine prolapse.

Tele Recommends: Northern Ireland's best bakeries
We've consulted the experts to bring you the best Northern Ireland has to offer - the places, the food, the music, the craic.
Michele Shirlow is the chief executive of Food NI and Taste of Ulster. Since she took up the position six years ago, membership has grown to more than two hundred and fifty local producers, restaurants and cafes
What is Tele Recommends?
Asked to name Northern Ireland's five best, she recommends...
The Heatherlea, Main Street, Bangor. 028 9145 3157
Their breads, cakes, biscuits and traybakes were so beloved of customers at their bakery and café, that they had to start supplying independent retailers too. Paul and Patricia Getty's wholesale range includes a plethora of Great Taste Award-winning goodies like Armagh Rolled Oat Crisp and Traditional Boiled Cake. They're up to speed with the low GI and Gluten-free trends as well. I love their Spelt Wheaten with a bowl of soup.
Krazi Baker, Belfast
Griddle breads and pancakes cooked in front of your eyes? That's no trouble to Mark Douglas aka the Krazi Baker. None of his breads need yeast, so he's able to just mix up his ingredients and throw them on the griddle. The range is expanding all the time. He does potato apple bread, soda bread, wheaten farls, treacle farls... his mobile bakery can be found at events across Northern Ireland and at his weekly stall at the Crumlin Road car boot sale. Failing that you can tweet him on @KraziBaker.
Irwin's, Portadown
I don't know anyone from Northern Ireland who doesn't come over all misty-eyed at the mention of Irwin's Nutty Krust spread thick with butter, or a slice of malty toasted Veda. That's part of the reason why Irwin's is in my top five. I also rate their award-winning Paul Rankin range of wheaten, soda and fruit breads. The Jammy Joeys in their Howells Handmade range are seriously addictive and I'm loving their new bagels.
Yellow Door, Woodhouse Street, Portadown. 028 3835 3528
I would walk over hot coals for one of Simon Dougan's (above) raspberry and white chocolate scones. Thank goodness they deliver to so many places now, although if I had to drive to the bakery in Portadown when the craving comes on me, I probably would, but that would end up with me buying boxes of their perfect patisserie products. They also make 'proper' bread like wheaten, sourdough and focaccia. There are no artificial colours, preservatives, additives or yeast enhancers. Just yummy.
Thyme and Co Gluten Free Bakery, Quay Road, Ballycastle. 028 2076 9851
Tom and Eimear Mullins' bakery grew out of customer demand for their gluten-free bakes at the café next door. They originally supplied other cafes and restaurants but now their range of three cakes is available for retail. They do the loveliest Lemon Drizzle, the chocolatiest Chocolate & Orange and their Great Taste-winning cake which is Coconut and Almond. I love them all and I love that gluten-free tastes so good.

Sidhu takes guard, says 'I am just fulfilling Badal Saab's wish'
Breaking his silence, sitting Amritsar MP and party's star campaigner Navjot Singh Sidhu himself took guard on Saturday while confirming that he will not campaign in Punjab and he was just 'fulfilling' the wish of Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal by doing that.india Updated: Mar 29, 2014 22:08 IST
Breaking his silence, sitting Amritsar MP and party's star campaigner Navjot Singh Sidhu himself took guard on Saturday while confirming that he will not campaign in Punjab and he was just 'fulfilling' the wish of Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal by doing that.
This comes a day after Sidhu's wife and CPS Dr. Navjot Kaur Sidhu categorically mentioned that Sidhu won't come for campaign in Punjab due to his rift with Akali Dal.
Talking to HT over phone from Bangladesh, the cricketer turned politician, who was dropped by the BJP this time and ticket was given to senior leader and his own guru Arun Jaitley, said, "It was Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal who did not want me to contest the elections. He was firm against me. So why would I come to Punjab for campaign. By not coming I am just fulfilling the wish of Badal Saab."
On a question that Jaitley is his guru and if asked, will he not campaign for him, Sidhu said, "I am no more MP now. I do not have any post. I am simply soldier of the party. My wife is MLA and is representing the Sidhu family in Amritsar. She will campaign hard for Jaitley sir."
When asked that the BJP candidate Arun Jaitley had said that it was Sidhu who persuaded him to contest from Amritsar, the cricketer turned politician replied, "I had repeatedly said till the last that I want to contest only from Amritsar."
The three time MP had been at the loggerheads with the Akali Dal ever since he accused the CM Parkash Singh Badal and deputy CM Sukhbir Badal Sukhbir Badal of ignoring his projects.
Other than this Sidhu also had a rift with Akali Minister Bikram Majithia. Even the Local Bodies Minister Anil Joshi had been opposing Sidhu and days before ticket announcement organized a press conference to demand the candidature of Jaitley.
Since past few years, Sidhu had been ignored by the State Government and it was said that rift with the Akali Dal was the major reason of being denied ticket.
In the past too Sidhu had said that it was Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal who was against him.
On Friday, BJP candidate Arun Jaitley had visited Sidhu's place and met CPS Dr. Navjot Kaur Sidhu, who promised that she will work whole heartedly for the party.
She had said that, "I will campaign but since Akalis do not like my husband so he will not campaign in Punjab. Why would he come, when Akalis are against him. It is an open secret. We don't want to have any rift during poll of Jaitley Saab."
She had even named Revenue Minister Bikram Majithia and Cabinet Minister Anil Joshi and alleged that they never wanted Sidhu to be fielded from Amritsar.
Amarinder praises Sidhu
Congress candidate Capt. Amarinder Singh said, "Sidhu was a good MP and was liked by the people. He worked for the city as well. Sidhu left just because Akalis never liked him and the work he wanted to do was not allowed.

Accretion with Carport, 5' x 10' x 18', Pine, 2005.
My work is about the creation, evolution, and perception of built places. The way that buildings grovel and decay is my primary source material. Inspired by vernacular carpentry, I create spatial networks that grow from a central core. Each structure is sheathed with a translucent skin of wood. This work must be explored like a vast attic that is too condensed to physically enter: one stands on tiptoe to peer over it or crouches to see under it, attempting to make sense of a space that suggests a roofscape or the interior of a machine.

After toning it down for years, ESPN's Chris Berman seems to have ramped up his use of nicknames on the NFL Blitz this season.
Most of the time that doesn't bother me, but Berman got his dated, Hawaii-related pop culture references mixed up Sunday night when he said the Eagles' Brent Celek "Hawaii 5-O's his way into the end zone," when he presumably meant that he Magnum P.I.'ed his way into the end zone.
In honor of Tom Selleck. Get it? Oh, never mind. On to this week's highlights from the Sunday studio shows, as sent by the networks' hard-working p.r. staffs:
NFL Network's Warren Sapp, before the Panthers-Giants game: "This is a mindset game and the Giaints just have not committed themselves this year to be a tough ballclub."
Fox's Jimmy Johnson: "Brett Favre is infected. He's infected with a disease, and a lot of superstars get this disease. They have so many accolades and are idolized, they start to think they are bigger than the team, are more important than any one individual, including the head coach."
ESPN's Keyshawn Johnson: "I told you … Brad Childress at some point and time is going to screw it up."
CBS' Boomer Esiason: "There's no Emily Post rules of etiquette for sideline discussion between a coach and quarterback. I think this has been blown out of proportion simply because it's Brett Favre."

RSR Search Partners DHR SEARCH, AMERICAN SEARCH PARTNERS, TOM PALMER, RALPH JAMESON SCAM DO NOT SEND YOUR INFO!!! HOUSTON Texas
last week I received an Email from someone named Tom Palmer who claimed to need my resume and other information for a job offer. It sent no red flags originally because the job was in my field. I proceeded to call the number he left in my email. and there was no operator or voicemail set up. I called again for three days straight and no one answered that phone at all (odd). So I sent Tom Palmer an email asking him to return my call so we can discuss the details of the job. I received an email notification stating that the email address was no longer valid. So I went to the company website, which was also none existant. GREAT! Today i received a very similar email template from "Ralph Jameson" from " RSR Search stating "like i stated before i need your resume...." How is it possible that you stated anything to me when this is your first email to me? and why dont you have my resume, when i posted it online, where you got my email? I immediately googled this company and SCAM and DHR scam popped up. I did not send them my resume or any money or any personal information. When i tried to email Ralph back the email address is no longer valid. so be very vigilant of companies soliciting information when you havent even applied to the company. I hope this saves someone a headache.

The U.N.'s top climate scientist says global warming will lead to human dangers and soaring financial costs and that containing carbon emissions will have a host of benefits.
Rajendra Pachauri, head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, told a U.N. climate conference Wednesday that heat waves experienced once every few decades will happen every other year by mid-century.
Coastal areas and islands are threatened with inundation by global warming, rain-reliant agriculture in Africa will shrink by half and many species will disappear.
But Pachauri said "many impacts can be avoided, reduced or delayed" by reducing emissions.
He said the costs of action would be offset by improved health, greater energy security and more secure food supplies.

When was the last time you heard about a new fighter jet coming out?
Don't worry, if you rarely ever do. It's OK.
Some people never have been aware of such a thing, but the truth is, new fighters are always coming out. In fact, I bet every time you think about it, a plane is being planned, produced or tested.
Another reason why you probably don't know about most planes is because before one is fully tested, they already have one waiting to be made. Chances are you've never heard of an F-22. If I'm right, you'll be surprised to learn that it's already being mass produced.
And, guess what?
Another new fighter is being tested. That new fighter is the F-35. It was designed to blow apart enemies by using its Hydro-thermic Neutron-powered Atom-smashing nuclear thingy explosive missile stuff. To make it simple (and speak intelligently) it carries mass amounts of missiles and such. And with the technology we have, the missiles it carries are accurate enough to hit one bottle out of 50 bottles. Of course, the explosion would turn the other bottles into the main element of cafeteria chicken.
The F-35 comes in three different models, the A, B and of course C. All these models and more will be powerful new weapons against terrorism.

Things To Do In Dallas Tonight: Feb. 27
All of you advance planners are really hurting us here in last minute land. The Tame Impala show at the Granada has been sold out for weeks, and as I warned you yesterday, Art Spiegelman's talk to the Dallas Museum of Art tonight is all full, too.
The nice thing about the DMA is that if you really want to go, there's always a simulcast for the more popular events. I think Spiegelman, the graphic novelist who chronicled his family's history and suffering at the hands of the Nazis during the Holocaust in a two-book series, is worth sort of lurking around. There's always a shot at a ticket upgrade, but the simulcast is free. He'll expound upon the topic of "What the %@&*! Happened to Comics?," in which Spiegelman will explore the history of comic books and the value of the medium. Paging People Newspapers' Dan Koller, who could probably give me an extemporaneous lecture on the subject right now. Also, a meatball pita sounds fantastic. The Greek it is. Just walk yourself over after dinner.
Meanwhile, can I just tell you how much I wish this city council briefing was happening this evening? I'd say basically cancel everything, bring the caramel corn, and settle in. We can't have everything we want, unfortunately. But over at the Dallas Contemporary, new media artist and SMU assistant professor Brittany Ransom will lead a discussion in her area of expertise—digital art, video, and interactive technology. This all has a bit to do with the Contemporary's group video exhibition, Los Americanos, I'd imagine. You can also see part of that exhibit on the big American Airlines Center Plaza screens, which is a cool thing.

Melbourne: A 25-year-old Australian man who filmed himself chewing off a live rat's head and posted the video on Facebook was banned on Monday from owning pets for three years and given 100 hours of community service for his rabid, narcissistic behaviour.
Matthew Maloney, who hails from Albion in Brisbane and is known as Mad Matt, was pleaded guilty to one count of animal cruelty in Brisbane Magistrates Court. Maloney's bizarre stunt of pulling the pet rat from a box, biting off its head and taking a swig of vodka was viewed hundreds of thousands of times and had triggered widespread outrage when it was posted online in January.
Terming the act as narcissistic, Magistrate Suzette Coates said the behaviour was not excusable and that people who watched the video could think he was nothing but a silly idiot. There's nothing that indicates that the behaviour is manly. There's nothing that indicates that it is admirable, Coates said.
It indicates that it's rabid, narcissistic, attention-seeking behaviour on your behalf. Well you've got the attention and it's probably attention you wish you didn't get now, Coates was quoted as saying by the 'Brisbane Times'.
The judge ordered Maloney to complete 100 hours of community service and banned him from owning a pet for three years, besides paying 89 Australian dollars in court costs. Maloney, who was charged after a raid by Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) investigators, said he agreed with the court's decision even though his actions weren't that bad. "I agree with the court's decision but I just think, I don't think it was that bad", he said.
Maloney rejected suggestions the rat had suffered. [The RSPCA] said it was in 29 seconds of pain.
"I don't know how they could have proven that when they test on rats all the time", he said.
He defended the killing on his page, saying, "This is for all the butt hurt people out there having a cry about what i did! That rat in the video was a feeder rat and was always going to die", Maloney said.

There are a lot of reasons merchants love the current gift-card boom, but topping the list is this powerful statistic from auditors Deloitte & Touche: 10% of gift-card value--an estimated $4 billion this holiday season alone--is not redeemed. Why? Some people just don't get around to it. But Cameron Johnson, CEO of a new website called certificateswap.com is betting that in many cases the reason is that the shoe--or, rather, the shop--doesn't fit the wearer. Loosely modeled on eBay, a number of websites, including certificateswap.com and swapagift.com have sprung up to capitalize on that fact....
