The big faceless thing is out to get our cow. The big faceless thing should really get a name, seeing as it doesn't have a face.
Slenderman went to the gym.
Why do I feel that Feign Death is not an option here...
nice graphics!
Looks easy enough to kill
Faceless dude is up, PST for invites.
LFM BFT Need all!
Holy fuck! The look on the Tauren's face pretty much summed it up lol.
Kinda reminds me of Nemesis from Resident Evil (3).
Where in Azeroth does this thing live?
I'm racking my brain and can't remember ever seeing it...
Why is the Night Elven girl's eyes amber? At any rate her eyes should be silver.
That is some effin' nice action sequences on those pages, good job!
Poor cow will never find ancient spirits :/

What do monkeys, orchids and modern art have in common? You'll find them all on Ancon Hill. At 654 feet high, Ancon is an island of natural beauty in the western part of Panama City. Formerly part of the Canal Zone, it's now a protected area of secondary forest. Flowering Bird of paradise grows on the roadside and tawny-eared neque (think a rabbit crossed with a squirrel) hop into the undergrowth as you approach. Orange butterflies, blue dragon flies, sloths, capuchin and Tamarin monkeys…they're all here, just minutes from the city proper.
Go in the morning and you'll have the best chance of seeing the resident wildlife. But at any time of day the views from the very top are unparalleled.
You have the full sweep of the city's coastline below you, from the high-rises of Punta Paitilla to the church steeples and colonial mansions of the historic Casco Viejo district. Walk back downhill a little and you'll find a viewing platform from where you can see the goings on in the port of Balboa on the Panama Canal.
There are homes on the hill. Old houses nestled in the jungle foliage from the days when U.S. southern command was based here. And at the bottom of the hill you'll find the canal Administration Building. You can take a tour and check out the impressionistic murals inside celebrating the canal's construction.
At the base of Ancon, the museum of modern art (Museo de Arte Contemporaneo) is not a grand building, but it houses interesting works by the likes of Alfredo Sinclair and is worth the $5 entry fee. A grand piano in the center of the exhibition hall testifies to the frequent concerts held here. (A new home for the museum is under construction in Casco Viejo and judging by the plans on display it will be well worth a visit.)
The next most obvious step might be to head into the city for brunch, but tucked away on Ancon Blvd, close to the canal Administration Building you'll find the Country Store, serving a splendid and wide-ranging menu. As with many of the buildings on the hill, the jungle encroaches protectively around it, and sitting on the patio under a roof of Perspex glass you have a good chance of catching sight of curious monkeys while you sip on a cup of strong local coffee.

Former World Indoor champion, multiple Irish record holder and three time Olympian Derval O'Rourke has announced her retirement from athletics.
The Cork hurdler won five championship medals, including gold in the 60m at the World Indoor Championships in 2006 and two European Championship 100m silvers (2006 and 2010).
The Leevale athlete, whose final championship race was a bronze medal at the 2013 European Indoor Championships, has decided to hang up her spikes after 12 years competing at the highest level in world and European athletics.
O'Rourke retires holding three Irish records, in the 100m hurdles and 50m and 60m indoor hurdles.
The Cork hurdler also has the distinction of qualifying and competing at every major outdoor championship from 2002 to 2012.
O'Rourke said: "I've had an absolutely amazing career in athletics and for that I am so grateful to all the support I have received along the way.
"It's been a tough decision but it feels like the right time. I knew I could compete this season, but not in a time to be in medal contention by European Outdoors. Going to a Championships just to be there, isn't me.
"It's been a tough decision but it feels like the right time" - Derval O'Rourke
"The last competitive race I ran was the bronze medal I won last year at European Indoors and I feel like that was a great performance.
"I've been extremely lucky with the team I've had around me, Sean and Terrie Cahill are the rock that my success has been built on.
"Together we forged a way to be successful on a world stage and I'm incredibly grateful for their focus, passion and dedication.
"I've loved every minute of my athletics career but now I'm going to take some time to reflect what has been a very privileged job for me for the past 12 years and make some decisions for the future."

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19 (UPI) -- Among U.S. voters uncommitted about their choice for president, a majority said they disapprove of President Obama, a Rasmussen Reports poll indicated.
Among survey participants who said they were undecided, just 34 percent said they approve of the way the president has handled his job while 64 percent said they disapprove, results released Monday indicated.
Among those expressing preference for a third option instead of Obama or a specific GOP candidate, the president's numbers dropped further: 13 percent expressed approval and 87 percent said they disapprove.
While Obama generally has 39 percent to 46 percent of the vote against a number of possible Republican challengers, a number of voters said they prefer a third option or were undecided.
Factoring in the undecided voters indicates Obama earned approval from just 22 percent of the uncommitted, Rasmussen said. Seventy-eight percent of this group said they disapprove.
Results are based on national telephone surveys of 3,000 likely voters conducted Sept. 10-15. The margin of error is 2 percentage points.

snap crackle pop
When I do DB bench presses my right shoulder pops on every down motion. It's not painful or anything but it does pop pretty hard. Any idea what makes it do that and how I could make it stop?
If it doesn't hurt then you don't have anything to worry about. Try stretching before you begin. Take 60 lb dumbbells on the flat bench, and let them fall chest level. Take a deep breath in and push your sternum out. Also make sure after the stretching that you do 3-4 warmup sets. If the popping still doesn't go away, it's about personal preference. I mean if it distracts you enough to where you can't concentrate then maybe you should use the hammer strength machines for a while.
yeah if it doesn't hurt then don't worry about it too much. just keep an eye on it. stretching it out more and maybe starting with one more warm up set could help... it could be that one of your ligaments is not holding you in tight enough.. I would also take some joint supplements just incase you go from snap crackle pop to grind pain and cry. :( . the supplements are Glucosamine, Chondroitin & MSM .. and you can get them at GNC, Vitamin Shoppe and even CVS.. here's one link from BN
and this is another little site I came across that is good for looking up any type of mineral, vitamin and chemical.. it's one of my favs. :cool:

Today I was standing in line at Target and I couldn't help but hang out and review magazine covers. Cover after cover of beautiful women (yes, I know they're Photoshopped, but still). Thin, gorgeous women with beautiful skin and hair and there I am with my frizzy hair and flip-flops suddenly feeling quite insecure.
I've never really concerned myself about other women. I notice them, and I appreciate a pretty face/body/hairstyle etc. But I don't dwell. I don't ever think, "I wonder if H thinks she's hotter than me?" WH was always very good at making me feel attractive. Telling me regularly that I'm beautiful, I look nice/ smell good, I have a great ass (I disagree, but hey, to each their own).
After his A, I'm suddenly a different person. I'm fatter, uglier, frizzier... you name it. I've seen pictures of his AP (first pic I ever saw of her she was topless) - she's 24 with a tight body. I'm 30 with an I-was-never-thin-to-begin-with-and-I-had-a-baby-less-than-two-years-ago body. Never really bothered me until today. I'm standing there staring at these magazines and I trigger I guess. Suddenly I hate myself. And the OW. And next thing I know I'm thinking about the women WH dated before me (only 5, that I'm aware of) and I'm wondering what they look like. I mean I doubt their supermodels, but I imagine they're more like OW than me - younger, thinner... prettier? I don't know. All I know is, I hate that I even care. I always thought I was enough for WH, now I question everything, even that.
It was kind of a bummer moment in an otherwise nice weekend.
married 2y, together 2.5y

[This message edited by brownwren at 6:33 AM, August 26th (Monday)]
I know the A was about him and not about me.. but its tough to remember that some times.
Hang in there.
I hate that some stupid thing my husband did is causing me to doubt myself. I want to be sexy to him - I'm still attracted to him, after all.
I am not sure if its confidence coming back, or really getting to the place where his opinion doesnt matter.
I guess one or both of these is my goal...

"direct lender payday loans
The numerous 24 hour payday loan online websites makes it easier for people desperate for immediate cash to apply for a quick cash advance because of their hassle free process. That's why, when you need money right away or within 24 hours then applying with direct lender payday loans is a smart thing to do.
The payday loans no faxing system gives borrower's advantages, especially when the applicant has a bad credit score. The no credit investigation, paperwork, hidden cost and documents required ensure a speedy check of the application form and also instant approval.
Take note, 24 hour payday loan can let you know almost immediately if your application is approve or not, unlike with banks or traditional lenders. This is because as said awhile ago, the easy payday loans online does not require any paperwork's from their borrowers. In fact, if you need money to pay for unexpected expenses like medical bill or car repair, applying with online payday advance lenders can solve your immediate problem.
You can get the money you need within 24 hours and without going to the office of the payday lenders, as the money is transferred electronically to your account by next business day. This is the reason why one of the requirements for paycheck loans is a checking account or at least a savings account that accept direct deposit.
The other criterion for 24 hour payday loan online is that borrowers must be employed, resident or citizen of the U.S, and must be of legal age at the time of loan application. Now to apply for a loan, you just have to visit one of the same day payday website and fill up the electronic form then submit. Usually, you can expect the result in just a few minutes but the average response time is within 24 hours or by next business day.
Many people are now taking advantages of loan payday today because of the simple process and the fact that they can get cash fast. For a lot of people applying for payday loans, the high interest is acceptable as long as they get the money immediately or within 24 hours, which is not impossible with 24 hour payday online lenders.

There is an invisible barrier that stands in the way of our happiness. The evidence is all around us. Only the few are willing to see it. And these people succeed where most others fail. What is it that stands in the way between us and the kind of success we've always dreamed of? Fear. It's true. Even the most successful people in the world fear losing what they have gained. The rich fear losing their wealth. The most powerful fear losing control. Those in the most successful relationships fear losing their love. The most famous actors fear that their next film will be a flop. Fear is built into the fabric of success the way we currently know it. But there is a different kind of success. Real success. Permanent success. Fearless success. In fact, it is only the fearless who are truly successful. When we learn how to live a life without fear, success comes naturally. And, contrary to what many believe, a fearless life is possible. It isn't some ideal reserved for movie heroes and Buddhist monks - you can have a fearless life. All it takes is a special kind of hidden knowledge and the willingness to put it into practice. 5 Simple Steps to Make Yourself Fearless will help you to discover this special knowledge and five simple steps to put it into practice. You can learn to live without fear. You can have a truly fearless life in which success is built into everything you do. But a fearless life doesn't come from thinking about it. It comes from learning and doing.More

All entrants must be at least 18 years old on race day.
Official Website
www.ironmansanjuan.comSWIM - Participants will swim 1.2 miles (1.9 km), which will be held in the protected waters of the Condado Lagoon. Spectators and Athletes will have a great view of the Swim Course from the San Juan Beach, the Dos Hermanos Bridge and the Caribe Hilton's San Geronimo grounds. Water temperatures are expected to be around 78° Fahrenheit (26° Celsius). The transition between the swim and bike will take place in the Sixto Escobar Stadium, adjacent to the Caribe Hilton . BIKE - Athletes will endure a 56-mile (90 km) bike ride. The majority of the bike course will cover the northern part of the island from San Juan heading west towards the municipality of Dorado. Athletes will enjoy beach front views and some short but challenging hills. RUN - The course will take athletes on a 13.1 mile (21 km) run through the city of Old San Juan. Runners will make their way through the northern part of the islet with breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean, running past 16th century Spanish architecture on their way to reach the turn around point at the entrance of the famous Fort San Felipe del Morro. This 16th century citadel, constructed to protect the town from attack by sea, is one of the highlights of any tour of the old city, a rocky web of tunnels and barracks, towers and prisons. Probably the most famous monument from Spanish colonial times, the fortress stands out on a rocky islet, forever a reminder of a different age. Runners will return to the transition area to start the second and final loop.

About 90% of the animal kingdom lacks a stiff backbone, and yet these organisms possess unprecedented strength and functionalities. Towards this, nature cleverly exploits multi-materials and optimum topology/geometry to overcome the trade-off between two seemingly antithetical features: flexibility and load-bearing capacity. This paradigm is known as distributed compliance.My goal is to permeate this paradigm in engineering designs leading to autonomous, multifunctional, and adaptive engineering devices at various length scales, through computational tools and manufacturing solutions. Translating distributed compliance to engineering applications leads to numerous performance ramifications. For example, monolithic compliant systems that rely on elastic deformation alone have wide ranging applications in micro (MEMS actuators) and nanosystems (positioning devices), robotics, orthotics and prosthetics, and product design (eliminating assembly operations). Their single piece construction eliminates friction, wear, enables cost-effective manufacturing and increases precision. In this talk, I will present pragmatic design methodologies: a blend of computational tools, including a metric for distributed compliance, and user-insightful conceptual guidelines that result in practical, manufacturable solutions. Furthermore, I will showcase several novel applications such as a MEMS accelerometer, vision-based force sensor, and a nonlinear spring for an orthotic knee brace that result from these methodologies.
An alternate embodiment of distributed compliance involves elastofluidics i.e. a complex interplay of fluids, stretchable surfaces and inextensible fibers to achieve dexterous, adaptive deformation patterns. These are effective building blocks for soft robots that can safely interact with humans and the environment. This talk will focus on exploring an entire design-space of novel elastofluidic actuator configurations and understanding their behavior through reduced-order modeling techniques. Furthermore, an automated synthesis methodology to design dexterous, adaptive robots using these actuators will be presented.

Going solar seems to scare many homeowners, because they think it is complex and costly. They want to have it done without having to make a large investment. This post will talk about how to go solar without spending a lot or doing a lot. The focus will be on three pieces of solar equipment you could start out with.
1. Solar-Powered Attic Fans
The verdict is not in on just how much this will help you save, but if you decide to go for it, here are a few things your should know.
* Price - This will cost you anywhere between $300 to $700.
* Function/Installation - These fans are used to help keep attics ventilated as well as keep them cooler. Large attics may require the use of more than one fan to achieve the cooling effect. A direct-current motor will require a 20 - 30 watt solar panel to power it (National Association of Home Builders). These attic fans should be installed with intake vents in areas where they will receive direct sunlight. The intake vents are usually mounted close to the ridge of the roof. Take the necessary sealing measures to prevent any problems with moisture or backdrafting. Experts indicate that the best results come when proper insulation is added along with the installation of the solar attic fan.
2. Tubular Skylights/Solar Tubes/Tubular Daylighting Devices
These lights are ideal for lighting small spaces and can be found in 10 - 12 inch diameter models.
* Price: $150 to more than $600
* Function/Installation - Sunlight passes through a mounted light collector on the roof. The sunlight passes through a reflective tube then on to a diffuser lens that is attached to the ceiling. Installation is easy, but may be a bit of a challenge if the roofing is metal or tile. You may have to seek professional help if that is the case. Install lights in areas that get several hours of direct sunlight everyday. No additional framing is required.
3. Solar Outdoor Lights
Solar outdoor lights are not only effective, but also add to the appeal of your garden or walkway at night. They are an inexpensive means of lighting up areas on the outside. They offer security, as they can be used to light up driveways and areas around the house.
* Price - Regular solar outdoor lights can cost as little as $10 apiece, while accent lights (hanging lanterns and post lights) can cost less than $100 each. You can purchase a solar floodlight kit for approximately $20.
Function/Installation - Installation is easy, but it's best to have your landscape plan done first, so you know exactly how you want your lights to be laid out. Before making the final decision and purchasing the lights, ensure they will provide the level of illumination you desire. You can use solar landscape lights or solar floodlights, or you can combine both to give you the desired lighting effect.
Going Solar does not have to cost the hefty sums that are customarily quoted. Assess your home to identify any particular area where you would like to use solar energy, and then try to find a suitable solar solution.
Sean Derrick has gone solar for over 6 years and has never looked back. He enjoys sharing his tips and insights on various saving energy blogs. Over 10 electricity providers information can be found on www.ElectricityTexas.net, visit the website to find out more.

Brought this tree last Christmas and was very impressed with it. For £25 your not going to go wrong with this tree which I'd say you could pay a lot more for something similar. A lot of our friends asked where we got it from last year as they were impressed too. One thing though, at the end of the light chain is a connector you plug into a 3 pin adaptor just don't loose that adaptor. It slipped off the chain when I took the tree down from the loft and was left hunting high and low for it. I have now secured it to the lead cable to the chain with electrical tape. In saying this, don't forget it was last years tree so it may of been updated this year

This tea is from one of my favorite stores in chicago, the guy who runs it is the sweetest guy in the world and he is incredibly helpful in finding new teas for people. This tea is not my favorite I've had there but it is very good. Do not steep for too long because it can become bitter in almost two minutes, I go for a minute thirty at most. It has a nice light sweetness with a slight tart aftertaste.
Boiling 1 min, 30 sec

I have broke one of my RB 3379 lenses so I needed to find place to replace that. In my country (Hungary) I found no such a place, so I searched for the web and finally I found the SSO.
Before the order I asked some questions regarding size of the lenses because it was not displayed on. I got answer within a day so I could order my lenses.
The support was very kind and helpful in all questions. I got several confirmation mails with the status of my order so I always knew what was happening.
In summary: I have never met such a fast, kind and professional support like the SSO has.
Thanks again.

Shellfish and Tomato Stew
The last of four easy-enough recipes by Yotam Ottolenghi
Yotam Ottolenghi's way with vegetables has earned him international acclaim. At Ottolenghi, his London-based empire of prepared-food shops, dishes like pistachio-crusted tuna and lamb kebabs with sorrel-yogurt sauce are popular, but a grain salad with squash blossoms and dried lime and the grilled peaches with endive and blue cheese possess even broader appeal, tempting carnivores and vegetarians alike.
In 2006, Mr. Ottolenghi began writing a popular newspaper column called The New Vegetarian. Yet, despite his talent for...

Beyond generic adaptive capacity: exploring the adaptation space of the water supply and wastewater sector of the Stockholm region, Sweden
This paper examines the processes by which the generic adaptive capacity of a system is translated into adaptation to climate change, what form it takes, and what factors facilitate or restrain such processes. This is done by an in-depth analysis of climate change adaptation in the Water supply and Wastewater (WW) sector of the Stockholm region. Observed adaptations are categorized in terms of building adaptive capacity and implementing adaptive decisions, and these measures are analyzed using a model of the adaptation process based on organizational learning theories. In particular, the concept of an organization's actual adaptation space is defined and used as a means to understand the adaptation options that different WW organizations can pursue, as well as why such options might be pursued. The paper finds that most adaptation measures in the WW sector of the Stockholm region are aimed at building the adaptive capacity of the sector. It also finds that the extent to which adaptation measures can be pursued by the WW organizations is determined principally by how able the organization is to justify the additional resources required for adaptation. The analysis shows that there are two main routes to address this: use of climate knowledge to argue that adaptation is needed, and reference to rules and regulations to show that it is required.

text: Are your high school classes too hard or too easy? How to plan your final years of high school with classes that are just the right amount of rigorous—especially if you want to attend a selective college I work with many underclassmen who can't determine if their classes are too hard or too easy. If your goal is to attend a selective college, the rigor of your academic program and your grades are the best indicators of how well you'll do. Before you register for next year's classes, take this quick survey to decide how you should plan your junior and senior years. 1. How much time do you spend on homework?a. About 15 to 21 hours a week b. About 7 to 14 hours a weekc. Fewer than 7 hours a weekd. More than 22 hours a week or I don't do any homework at allOn average, you should be doing two to three hours of homework each night. Being over- or underworked may be a symptom that your courses are too rigorous or too easy. If you answered D, make an appointment with your guidance counselor and your teachers so they can advise you accordingly. 2. What are your grades in your academic courses?a. Mostly A's (90+ average)b. Mostly B's (80+ average)c. Mostly C's (70+ average)d. Less than C's (below 70 average)If there are courses that you are stronger in than others, speak to your parents and guidance counselor so they can design an action plan to help you work on your weaknesses. It is important to identify subjects that you are strong in. Plan to increase the rigor in those classes. Then, get extra help on subjects you find particularly challenging. 3. Compared to your classmates, in the classroom, do you feel like you:a. Understand the material all of the timeb. Understand the material almost all of the timec. Understand the material sometimesd. Are usually lost You are usually placed in courses with students of comparable ability. You should be able to assess your own skills by comparing yourself to classmates. If you are at the top of your class, that particular class may be too easy. If you are struggling, then that class may be too challenging.4. How often do you participate in class discussion and activities?a. Regularlyb. Sometimesc. Only when my teacher asks med. NeverActive class contributions reflect how engaged you are with course content, teachers and peers. This is a great habit to develop because when classes get more challenging, students who show genuine interest in learning usually do better than those who do not. 5. You've been assigned a challenging project. After exploring all your options (asking for help from friends, parents, relatives and campus resources, such as librarians), you are still lost. How do you feel asking your teacher for additional help? a. Always comfortable; I ask for help from my teacher before the assignment is dueb. Sometimes comfortable; I only ask for help when I get a bad grade c. Uncomfortable; I am afraid or embarrassed to ask for help d. Very uncomfortable; I'd rather figure things out on my own and suffer the consequencesThere are times when an assignment can be confusing. You need to know when to ask your teacher for help. Your teachers expect that you show your resourcefulness by asking for assistance and using outside resources to get the best grades possible. Understanding your limits and fulfilling your teachers' expectations are excellent habits to develop. It will lead to academic success especially when your courses become more challenging. Use your responses to guide your discussion with your teachers, guidance counselor and parents when you register for courses. Mostly A's: Chances are, your current coursework is too easy. You probably have the skills and confidence to handle more challenging classes. Ask your teachers and guidance counselors if they can recommend a more rigorous course of study. Plan to take the toughest courses possible in every academic subject area and, if possible, enroll in at least five academic subjects in your junior and senior years. If you are already enrolled in the toughest courses available to you, investigate taking courses outside of school, such as those offered at a local college or university. Mostly B's:You are taking the right level of courses. But with improved studying techniques and a little more effort, you could get better grades. Identify your academic strengths and weaknesses. Ask your guidance counselor to enroll you in more challenging courses in subjects that you do well in, and work with your teacher to make sure that you do well in courses in which you are struggling. Mostly C's:Some courses will be harder than others because of content. For example, you may have a natural ability in foreign language that you don't have in science. On the other hand, some courses may be overwhelming because of teacher expectations. It is a good idea for you to work with tutors or a study group after school. Although you'll be able to fulfill your high school's graduation requirements, I would caution against taking classes that may be too challenging, as they might shatter your confidence.Mostly D's:Your current coursework is either too rigorous, or there may be circumstances that prevent you from performing up to your potential. I highly recommend working one-on-one with a tutor on a regular basis. Your parents should be regularly checking in with your teachers to monitor your academic progress. Finally, meet with your guidance counselor regularly to ensure that you are on track to complete your high school's graduation requirements. Katherine L. Cohen, Ph.D., is CEO and founder of IvyWise and ApplyWise.com.

All magic comes with a price - Rumpelstiltskin
Oh, you've GOT to be kidding me! How seriously can you take a "mentor" like that? Nothing against her personally. But a mentor should have years of experience under their belt and lots of wisdom to share. Did she tell them how to become a child star and get your own show? Of course, it helps when you have a parent who has a big name in the music industry. It's a little late for any of the contestants to get one of those.
So, if I'm understanding correctly, they have changed the theme from Teen Idols to Billboard #1 Hits, but they're having a teenage mentor? Someone must've gotten the original memo confused!
Please tell me you're joking! Miley's the one who needs a mentor - and not a marketing guru (she has that in spades). This is a family site, so I'll hold back my rant, but having Miley mentor Siobhan and Crystal is like asking Taylor Swift to give voice lessons to Carrie Underwood.Originally Posted by Little Sew&Sew;3860195;
What? Was Justin Bieber busy?Originally Posted by Little Sew&Sew;3860195;
Miley Cyrus is younger than most of the contestants! How can she mentor them? Especially when she sucks herself.
Anyway, here are some of my ideas for theme weeks:
- First Audition Songs
- Metal Week
- Smooth Jazz
- Frank Zappa Week
- Songs Over 5 Minutes (all songs picked have to have been over five minutes in their original versions)
- Comedy Week
- Behind The Veil Week (contestants are never shown, you have vote just based on how they sounded)
- Instrument Week (everyone must play an instrument while singing)
- Songs Written By The Judges (all songs picked have to have been written or co-written by one of the four judges)
- Cult Classics
- Punk Rock Week
- Rap Week
NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!Originally Posted by Little Sew&Sew;3860195;
Magnum -- This is a great idea!
Behind The Veil Week (contestants are never shown, you have vote just based on how they sounded)
This article just about sums it up IMO.
Miley Cyrus mentors the top 11; Joe Jonas is back to perform Wednesday | American Idol
I know most of you are already doubled over in pain and possibly gagging from the news in the headline above but yes, Miley Cyrus is the mentor for the top 11.
I'm sure Crystal Bowersox will learn oodles from Miley, eh? And faint when she sees her! Seriously, Miley has had a successful teen career so far with No. 1 albums, a few hit singles ("Party in the USA," "The Climb"), movies and big-time TV show on Disney "Hannah Montana." For a 17 year old, she's had a pretty impressive run so far.
But can she mentor? I have no clue. Perhaps she can teach them about stagecraft because a lot of them clearly are not yet up to speed on that front.
So even though the theme was changed from "teen idols" to Billboard No. 1's, the concept of teen idols remains because on Wednesday, the Disney dynamos Cyrus, Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato will be performing.
This is clearly a desperate attempt to draw back the teens and 18-34 year olds that have been leaving the show in droves the past couple of years.
And before Miley, has anyone even remotely as young as she been a mentor?
That was my favorite from the list!Originally Posted by scruffy;3860316;

Accounting Choice, Home Bias, and U.S. Investment in Non-U.S. Firms
This paper examines the relation between accounting choice and U.S. institutional investor ownership in non-U.S. firms. We predict that U.S. investors exhibit home bias in their preference for accounting methods conforming to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) because such methods are more familiar, reduce information processing costs, and are perceived as higher quality. We find that firms exhibiting higher levels (changes) of U.S. GAAP conformity have greater levels (changes) of U.S. institutional ownership. Lead-lag regressions suggest that increases in U.S. GAAP conformity precede increases in U.S. investment, but changes in U.S. institutional holdings do not precede changes in accounting methods. We also find that the positive relation between U.S. GAAP conformity and U.S. investment holds regardless of a firm's visibility to U.S. investors (e.g., American Depositary Receipt listing, stock index membership, analyst following, firm size). However, we find that U.S. GAAP conformity has a significantly greater impact among firms already visible to U.S. investors.

Watch These Dogs Interrupting Soccer Games — Daily Distraction
You really can't blame the dogs. Everyone else is playing with the ball, why can't they?
You really can't blame the dogs. Everyone else is playing with the ball, why can't they?
Weddings are great—there's dancing, food, everyone's all dressed up and in a good mood (well, most of the time). And dogs agree.
It used to be that in order to see what you look like when you're on a roller coaster, you had to pay $10 for a blurry photo of you and the stranger next to you after you got off the ride.
Some dogs have jobs, even at weddings.
When you have large groups of people walking in unison and playing music and wearing elaborate outfits and sometimes holding enormous, heavy instruments, you have the ingredients for disaster.
I love the creativity found on YouTube. I also love Stevie Wonder. I adore producer/musician Pharrell Williams as well as French House music legends, DAFT PUNK...
Geese, it turns out, can be a bit foul-tempered.
Solo performance that is! Check out George Barnett ROCKING Daft Punk and Pharrell's Get Lucky off of Daft Punk's new album, Random Access Memories. This kid is incredibly talented, enjoy! -mO
Even superstars like Albert Pujols had to start out somewhere, and for most kids who play baseball, that starting point is T-ball.
There's something about a car window that dogs just can't resist.
Cats can, on occasion, seem a bit lazy. And that's not an entirely undeserved reputation.
This time of year we see a lot of graduation ceremonies, and some graduates can't seem to help showing how pleased they are to get that diploma.

Birthday tradition calls for a pie in the face.
It's a custom the Calgary Flames have followed pretty religiously.
The victim is called into the middle of the circle in order to lead the pre-practice stretch and then blindsided with a plate full of shaving cream.
Not so for Miikka Kiprusoff, who turned 30 yesterday.
"Not yet. I'm surprised," said a clean-faced Kiprusoff after the Flames' practice at the Saddledome. "Hopefully they don't remember."
The Finnish goaltender sat in his stall after a draining drill on the ice as bystanders came to both congratulate and question him on the turn into another decade.
"That feels bad, man, that's real bad. I can't believe I'm 30 years old," he said. "Time's flying."
Kipper's dressing room neighbour, 35-year-old backup Jamie McLennan, was a little jealous.
"I wish I was 30 again," McLennan said before taking a jab at his captain, Jarome Iginla, who won't leave his 20s behind until July.
"Honestly, Iggy looks older than 30. I think Iggy turned 30 about seven years ago."
Unlike many of his other ageing European colleagues, Kiprusoff has no plan to limit his time in North America and return to his homeland.
"My timeline is as long as anybody wants me to play here," said Kiprusoff.
"It's a certain time in your life you're able to play and I enjoy every day. I have nothing like, 'I'm going to stay five more years' or something. If I feel good and am able to play here, I'm staying.
"I'm 30 now, I have to take care of myself. Hopefully I get some more good years here."
Closing out a high-tempo but fun practice yesterday, the Flames had a breakaway relay game where teams of two would skate single file the length of the ice on one goalie then reverse the order on the other netminder.
Score back-to-back goals and you get to take a seat on the bench and await the others. To the surprise of many, the first four to score woreblack jerseys -- the colour worn by defencemen.
Andrew Ference, Rhett Warrener, Robyn Regehr and Mark Giordano were happy to watch the rest of the team battle it out against Miikka Kiprusoff and Jamie McLennan.
"We know our next four shooters for the shootout," boasted Andrew Ference.
"Me, Rhett, Reggie and Gio."
Added Warrener: "And it was early, so the goalies were fresh."

Belgacom IPO will generate €4bn windfall
Telco's market value to rise to €11bn
Analysts expect Belgian telco Belgacom's forthcoming flotation to give the company a market value of &euro11bn, and raise more than €4bn. The sale of the state-controlled former monopoly - agreed by shareholders last October - should prove an attractive opportunity for investors seeking a strong dividend provider.
Belgacom is due to start trading on the Brussels Euronext exchange on 22 March, in what will be one of the biggest initial public offerings in Europe in recent years. A price range for the Belgacom shares will be published on 8 March, and a final price will be announced when trading begins. At least 15 per cent of the shares will be offered to retail investors in Belgium.
The carrier will be selling the entire 46.9 per cent owned by a consortium made up of SBC Communications, Singapore's SingTel and Denmark's TDC. The three telecoms operators have been shareholders in Belgacom since 1995, when they paid $2.46 billion to take a share of the privatised state monopoly.
Indeed, the sale will provide some welcome cash for SBC Communications, which earlier this week announced it was selling between 500,000 and 650,000 local telephone access lines to help its mobile phone joint venture - Cingular Wireless - to pay the heavy $41bn cash price for AT&T Wireless Services.
The Belgian government owns 50 per cent plus one share of Belgacom, and intends to keep its controlling stake. Belgacom itself owns the remaining 3.1 per cent, and it will buy back €1 million worth of shares at issue price before the IPO.
Belgacom never took part in the spending and acquisition spree like many of its European rivals, and avoided the high fees for third generation mobile phone licenses (Belgium held 3G auctions for the licenses after the boom period). Consequently, it gained a bit of a reputation as a slow-moving operator. However, the company has one of strongest balance sheets of any European telco, with only €482m of debt. It is likely to prove attractive to investors looking for a dividend provider. Last month, it revealed plans to pay €395m in dividends for 2003.

MiraCosta College's attorney said last week that the college must now dissolve the $1.6 million settlement it granted its former president and superintendent in 2007, but a Carlsbad activist who fought the deal said parts of the agreement should stand ---- just not the roughly $1.3 million the college overpaid in the buyout.
Leon Page, the activist who sued MiraCosta over the deal, said Friday that the college fulfilled it's agreement with its former president Victoria Munoz Richart, even if an appeals court decided later that parts of the settlement were illegal. The college appealed that ruling to the state Supreme Court, which this week declined to review the matter.
"The college did everything it said it would," Page said, adding that the settlement only called for the college to pay Richart the agreed-upon sum ---- it didn't say she had the right to keep the money.
The point is important because in December, a Richart attorney named Robert Ottilie said he believed the college would have to take back Richart's resignation if she were forced to give up her settlement.
"That would return everyone to where they were," Ottilie said at the time. He said he believed that Richart's four-year contract would run at least through 2011, and perhaps even longer, meaning the college could owe Richart hundreds of thousands of dollars in back pay.
Richart attorney Randy Winet could not be reached for comment Friday.
MiraCosta attorney Jack Sleeth, who led the college's three-year battle to uphold the deal, said earlier Friday that he believed the appeals court ruling means "we have to undo the settlement."
If that happens, "surely we could have numerous legal issues that remain," MiraCosta president Francisco Rodriguez said.
The college's agreement with Richart included 18 months salary and benefits totaling $330,000; a lump-sum check for $650,000 for unspecified "damages;" and $43,500 in attorney fees. Trustees also agreed to give her a total of $315,000 in retirement benefits, as well as health benefits for herself and her husband through age 75.
All but about $300,000 of the total settlement amount has been paid.
Page argued in his lawsuit that state law limits the amount of a settlement with a public employee to 18 months salary and benefits. A trial court sided with Richart, but Page appealed.
In November, an appeals court agreed with Page and ordered the case be sent back to Superior Court. MiraCosta then appealed that ruling to the state Supreme Court, which on Wednesday announced it wouldn't take up the matter.
It's unclear when the case will return to Superior Court.

Legal Question in Juvenile Dependency in Pennsylvania
I'm 17 and will be turning 18 in December. i have a very bad relationship with my mother and she always threatens to kick me out of the house and also states that she will sign any papers to get rid of me. I am employed and have 3 homes that are willing to take me in at any moment. How can I get a legal emancipation through that ?
1 Answer from Attorneys
If you are so close, then just go. Unlikely that your mother would fight to get you back. Once you are 18, you will be a legal adult and can do what you want.
There is no set age for emancipation - you have to file a petition with the court and ask for permission to be treated as an adult. You will have to show that you are capable of supporting yourself.
As I said, you are very close now. Either tough it out until your 18th birthday or have a talk with mom and see if she will consent to you moving in with one of the homes that is willing to take you in. If she will not consent, then either leave now or wait and make your arrangements to move out on your birthday.


text: Hi guys, I know this question has been asked because I have been reading on here for hours now. I want to recap what i think I know and attempt to make a decent decision with input from the experienced smokers. I am looking for a set it and forget it kind of smoker, would prefer electric, and will likely be smoking all types of things including eventually getting into cold smoking. So from what i have read on these forums, the smokers of choice seem to be: MES 40 (Model 20070311 only?) with AMNPS Bradley Digital 4-rack Electric Smoker Cookshack Smokin Tex Smokin-it There were more, but these seemed to get mentioned the most in the threads I read. From what I gather the MES 40 is prefered over the 30 and I should only get the first gen model number 20070311 because the others are prone to failures. The Bradley Smokers seem to have a bad reputation for the heating elements (that was not in this forum, but may sites I went to to read reviews had this opinion) as well as I have to buy the proprietary Bradley pucks for the smokers. The Cookshack, Smokin Tex and Smokin-It all seem sto have 5 star ratings everywhere I go to research reviews, however the cost is much higher. So what I am trying to decide is this: Of the 3 similar sized expensive units: Cookshack SM009-2 16" x 17.5" x 30.6" $675 (not similar size, but the smallest they make) Smokin Tex 1100 12.5" x 13.5" x 17.25" $395 Smokin-It #2 15" x 15" x 20" $399 the Smokin-It #2 seems to be the best bang for the buck. Having said that, I cannot find the internal measurements of the MES 40 but I'm assuming its around the same size. I have found one online for $339 and the description says it is Model number 20070311. Should I go for the Smokin-It #2 for $399 plus shipping, or do I risk the possibility of lots of breakdowns and repairs if the MES is not the proper model number for $339 with free shipping? Does anyone have the internal dimensions of the MES 40 for comparison? Does anyone have anything to add that I may have overlooked? Thanks for any and all help, Morgan

CJ's question
I have like 10 samples of the butter & I prefer the consistancy of the Mango Sugar Mint. If I buy it in the larger tub, will it be the same or more like the Blueberry Crumble, Sweet Memories, Apple Spice, Sweet Pixie Pie...
Attachment 93531
The white is Mango Sugar Mint, the brown is Sweet Memories (which is like the unscented, Apples & Spice, Sweet Pixie Pie etc)
Re: CJ's question
Honestly, that's the one thing I don't like about CJs. The consistency is ALWAYS different for us, and the strength of the scent usually is too. I've bought gritty pink sugar and soft pink sugar, gritty lullaby baby and smooth lullaby baby. I personally just think it depends on the batch, not the scent. As far as color, I do think that differs with certain scents.
Bummer. I have all these samples & 2 tubs that I won't use and no way to be sure I get the type I like. Crud.
Eta: Thanks for the reply. <wink wink>
Have you tried the spritz or stick, those are a consistent consistency? :giggle:
Re: CJ's question
Try melting it and then put it in the fridge for a while. It might change the consistency.
Re: CJ's question
I've only ever seen the consistency from the one on the right. Is the other one older?
Re: CJ's question
was one vegan? I know the mango one comes with the vegan option.
Re: CJ's question
we just got a bunch of samples including MS&M and they all are gritty like your brown container on the left :headscratch: :dunno:

The tax code currently encourages charitable donations by allowing taxpayers to deduct those contributions from their taxable income. The American people are extremely generous in giving to their local communities, and this deduction contributes to this generosity.
From the moment the first settlers arrived in America, churches and civic institutions have been the bedrock of our society. These private organizations, not government, are the foundation of our communities, and their lifeblood are the charitable contributions made by hardworking citizens and families.
Elder Dallin H. Oaks, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, recently confirmed this central role for charities and churches at a hearing on charitable giving held by the U.S. Senate's Finance Committee. Unfortunately, the current tax deduction for charitable contributions is under attack from many quarters.
As the top Republican on the Finance Committee, I invited Elder Oaks to discuss the need for protecting this deduction and ensuring that individuals in Utah and across the country will continue to be gracious in donating to those in need.
The tax code currently encourages charitable donations by allowing taxpayers to deduct those contributions from their taxable income. The American people are extremely generous in giving to their local communities, and this deduction contributes to this generosity. Unfortunately, President Barack Obama has repeatedly proposed that individuals earning more than $200,000 a year and families making more than $250,000 a year lose up to 20 percent of their charitable deduction.
Adopting this proposal would be a real mistake.
In his testimony before the Finance Committee, Elder Oaks confirmed that the private organizations that receive charitable donations are "responsible for tens of millions of jobs and innumerable services that benefit our citizens at every level." However, if the proposal to reduce the tax deduction for charitable donations from 35 percent to 28 percent were enacted, it would cost charities as much as $5.6 billion per year, according to the Urban Institute's Center on Nonprofits and Philanthropy.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office found that other proposals to limit the charitable deduction could result in as much as a $10 billion drop in donations annually. For this reason, I am strongly opposed to the president's proposal, and I am fighting to ensure that it does not become law.
A quick look at the hurricane relief provided to the Gulf Coast in 2005 shows what a difference charitable donations can make. After Hurricane Katrina, more than $3.5 billion in cash and in-kind donations — food, water, clothing, medical supplies and other services — were donated. Roughly $2.1 billion in private donations for hurricane relief went to the American Red Cross, which sent more than 200,000 volunteers to the region to build shelters, provide meals and emergency assistance.
And they were not alone.
Catholic Charities donated $154 million, and hundreds of other organizations rushed in with volunteers, money and other resources to help people and businesses in the region get back on their feet. One of them was The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Elder Oaks noted in his testimony that the LDS Church donated more than $13 million in cash and 3,000 tons of emergency supplies. Thousands of Latter-day Saint volunteers gave more than 42,000 days of service.
The effectiveness of these private charities in providing relief to those in need stands in stark contrast to the mediocre response to the same crisis by government agencies. Churches and other charities have proven track records when it comes to caring for those in need. Does it really make sense to limit the current tax deduction to these organizations and give the money instead to the federal government, which is fraught with waste and mismanagement?
I am confident that the money "saved" by limiting the charitable deduction would neither reduce the deficit nor help the truly needy. Instead, it will go to fund more government bloat and government jobs.
Government was never intended to be the solution for every problem in this country. Yet today, government tries to do too much and succeeds at very little — at exorbitant expense to taxpayers.9 comments on this story
The tax deduction does not exist to reward some donors more than others. It exists for the charity. The charitable deduction encourages members of society to direct enough resources to charities so they can carry forward the good works our society so desperately needs them to perform.
Government does not need another taxpayer handout. But Americans in need do need a hand up. The president and Congress should step aside and let our nation's charities carry on with the relief they are uniquely qualified to deliver.
We curtail the charitable tax deduction at our peril.
Sen. Orrin Hatch is the ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee.

- Artist: Steve Garrett
- Genre: Rock
- Release Date: 1/31/2006
S t e v e G a r r e t t is a new breed of singer/songwriter. A lyrical and musical purveyor of grand themes like grace, love, and forgiveness passionately and creatively woven together into a very accessible modern sound. Although he has drawn comparisons to John Mayer, Gavin DeGraw, and Damien Rice, Steve's emotional vocals and powerful songs crackle with originality. And don't hold your breath for trite, scratch-the-surface content. Some of his writing will leave you standing out in wide-open spaces staring up at the sky. And some of it will make you want to crank up the car stereo and find an open highway. Yes, Steve is an emerging acoustic pop rock artist, worship leader, conference speaker, and college/young adult pastor at Belmont Church, a vibrant 3,000 member church on Music Row in Nashville, TN, but with all the labels swirling around, simply calling him a worshipper would be fine with him. "I am first called to minister to an audience of One. I want to 'entertain' His presence - on and off stage. Out of that experience, I then have the privilege of using my artistic platform to lead people into powerful encounters with a living God!" says Steve. Over 10 years ago, this Philadelphia, PA native began spreading his musical wings. In time he was soaring to new heights, comfortably leading hundreds in worship every week at his home church, and many more in conferences and youth events on the east coast - all the while mentoring and training up-and-coming worship leaders, and frequently speaking on the topic of worship and the arts. Now based in "Music City", Steve is pushing for even higher elevations - having just finished his first full length record 'Eavesdropping.' With shimmering production by Scott Williamson (FFH, Point of Grace, Lincoln Brewster) this much-anticipated disc, coming on the heels of his 2003 debut solo EP 'So Long L.A', is nothing short of a sonic wonder. To support the release of his new projects, Steve has already played to thousands in the USA (like playing the Gospel Music Association's "Seminar in the Rockies" in Estes Park, Colorado, and sharing the stage with legendary performers like Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith) as well as gathering fans internationally in South America, and to a much greater extent in Europe - where he has already headlined two acoustic tours, sponsored by Campus Crusade for Christ. His favorite cut? "Of course I think all eleven songs are outstanding, but if I had to pick one I guess it would be 'Slow Motion Surrender' or maybe the title track 'Eavesdropping,' a song I wrote about my Dad's recent battle with cancer...although another real head-turner has been 'Holy Is The Lord' " says Steve. "It's a modern worship song inspired by a passage in the book I AM written by Steve Fry in which he explores the wonder of Heaven's unbroken song and God's on-going response to our worship...it's awesome to think that we will spend eternity praising God and never come to the end of who He is!" Steve continues, "In my live shows it's a huge crowd-pleaser because people instantly resonate with it and spontaneously lift their hands and sing along 'scratching the surface of your love for me / plunging Your depths could take eternity / but every time You show yourself to me / all I can do is worship / all I can say is holy...' It doesn't get any better than that!" It is live concert moments like these that so clearly illustrate how Steve seems to effortlessly blur the line between recording artist and worship leader. And he would be the first to say that he is uniquely called to do both. As such, Steve is noticeably excited about the diverse creative outlets being opened to him, such as singing lead on the rock worship tune "I Will Boast" featured on the new 2006 Promise Keepers project "Unleashed", as well as being a guitarist / vocalist with Integrity's PK7 BAND for some of the live Promise Keepers conference dates throughout the USA this year. Add to that numerous lead vocal appearances on Kingsway Music projects, and the 2004 Promise Keepers project 'Uprising' featuring his lead vocals on 3 songs - all of which highlight the softer, more intimate side of Steve's worship style. This powerful modern worship CD also features popular worship artists such as Jeff Deyo (Sonic Flood), Lincoln Brewster, John Katina (The Katinas) and others. And if you happen to read liner notes / credits on records coming out of Nashville, you'll discover that his background vocals are in demand on numerous pop and modern worship projects too. Most recently, before his solo venture, Steve served as the lead vocalist, guitarist, and principle writer for Pilgrim's Progress, a pop rock / worship band he started in 1997 along with two of his brothers, Phil (bass) and Dave (drums) and younger sister Reta (vocals, percussion). Two years later they released their first independent record (produced by David Huff) and started gathering a significant fan base in the northeast playing close to 100 shows and worship events per year. Regional radio in PA and NY further fueled the buzz by getting behind a number of radio singles and helping them to score two consecutive top 5 charting singles, in a major CHR market. Steve and his band went on to open for FFH, and play numerous festivals along with artists such as the Newsboys, Steven Curtis Chapman, and more. Steve grew up in a musical family known as the Garretts. From six to sixteen years of age, he toured the eastern U.S. and parts of Europe and Canada singing alongside his four siblings and parents. During these years Steve had a growing sense that someday he would go into full time ministry, following in the footsteps of his father, a pastor, gifted preacher, and singer. "God began to place in me a huge passion for music and preaching," Steve recalls. As a young kid on the road, in the summer of '83, he got his first real guitar in an old antique shop near Savannah, Georgia, taught himself to play, and eventually started writing his own songs. After High School, Steve honed his preaching and writing craft by studying Theology at Valley Forge Christian College for a year, and then going on to earn a degree in Political Science at West Chester University of Pennsylvania. After marrying his college sweetheart, he was ordained, and served on staff at Praise Fellowship Church in suburban Philadelphia for a number of years, before launching out as an independent recording artist. "Now I'm on a mission to see this music flood the church, and then spill out into the streets! More than anything, I want to spread God's fame," says Steve. "A number of years ago I wrote a song called "Stealing Thunder" and it basically talks about how we tend to take a lot of credit for the stuff we make, when in reality, God is the only Creator that is truly original. I think worship is simply acknowledging that fact. Jesus put it this way, 'If I am lifted up, I will draw all people to myself,' and ultimately every aspect of my music, art, and lifestyle should do just that."
