Thread: Bonnie?

Love the same Bonnie! I don't see it as childish at all, more retro dated but in a good way.
Wouldn't go with Bonnie James/Jameson since they remind me of James Bond (may not be a problem for you just thought I would point it out).
Bonnie Josephine- You could still call her Bonnie Jo.
Bonnie Alena/Elena

I'm crazy about Bonnie. It's solidly in my top 2 for a girl. It might actually be my #1. Bonnie is so sunny and sweet, and I actually think its "datedness" keeps it from feeling as lightweight as many other -ie ending names. In any event, datedness doesn't really bother me. I prefer to think of Bonnie as retro-spunky. (It's not that far outside the "hundred-year rule" anyway; In 1913, it was a top 200 name. By 1927, it was sharing the top 100 with names already experiencing a revival, like Hazel, Alice, Alma, Ruby, Charlotte, Clara...)
Bonnie is great with your kids' names. For combos, and using your honoring names for inspiration, how about Bonnie Petra, Bonnie Josephine, Bonnie Danica, Bonnie Alaina, Bonnie Petronel, Bonnie James, Bonnie Alanis, Bonnie Alina, or Bonnie Dana. Peter means "stone," so you could also look at gem and mineral names.----

MIAMI, April 26 (UPI) -- A federal judge in Miami Thursday outlawed random drug tests of state employees, saying they were an unreasonable search.
Gov. Rick Scott ordered the testing last March for the 80,000 employees who work in 15 state agencies that report to him, as well as job applicants, but suspended the order last June when a lawsuit was filed by a public employees union and the American Civil Liberties Union, The New York Times reported.
U.S. District Judge Ursula Ungaro said in her ruling the testing order "does not identify a concrete danger that must be addressed by suspicionless drug-testing of state employees," the Times reported. "And the governor shows no evidence of a drug-use problem at the covered agencies."
Despite the ongoing lawsuit, the Florida Legislature this year passed a bill that allows all state workers to undergo random drug testing. But the state law does not make drug-testing a requirement.
Scott signed the bill last month and the law takes effect in July. Ungaro's ruling does not affect the new law, but a separate lawsuit is expected to be filed, the Times said.
Scott objected to the ruling Thursday.
"As I have repeatedly explained," Scott said in a statement, "I believe that drug testing state employees is a common-sense means of ensuring a safe, efficient and productive work force."

2. Toad-in-the-hole
By Jonny Seponara-Sills of We Are Never Full
In his rather witty book, French Lessons, Peter Mayle attends the annual Fete de Grenouilles (Festival of Frogs-Legs) in Vittel, France, and describes an episode at the festival banquet in which an attendee, elbow deep in amphibian thighs, tells him that if he thinks eating frogs is unusual, she had heard of an even more peculiar repast enjoyed throughout Britain, the toad.
Now, of course, it's not true. The British do not eat toads, though, if frogs are edible, and taste a bit like chicken, then I might be prepared to try toads, if sauteed with a little garlic and parsley. However, the British do eat toad in the hole – a delicious, simple and filling dish
Toad in the Hole with Fresh Mushy Peas
Serves 4
For the batter:
1-1/2 cups plain flour, sifted
2 whole eggs
1-1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1-3 teaspoons Colemans' English mustard powder (depending on how fiery you like your batter)
Crack eggs and whisk yolks and whites together. Add to flour and mix into a paste before adding milk and whisking until smooth. Whisk in mustard powder and salt. Set aside, or refrigerate, until ready to use.
For the "Toad":
8 sausage links (about 1 1/2 – 2 lbs), separated or, as above, one 2lb ring sausage, Cumberland type, or your preference
1 onion, sliced thinly
3 cloves garlic, chopped finely
1 pint hot water
2 tablespoons Bisto (or use some beef stock and thicken w/ cornstarch)
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper
Recipe for main dish:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Heat skillet to medium-high and add oil. Brown sausage/s on all sides, then remove them.
Lower heat to medium and add onions. Saute them until soft. Add garlic and pinch of salt.
In a jug or measuring cup, combine water and bisto powder.
Continue to saute garlic and onions for four or five mins, until onions are translucent, before adding gravy mixture. Reduce heat to low and allow liquid to reduce by about a third.
Grease a 12inch baking dish with oil and place sausages in it. Pour the batter mixture around the sausages and slap it all in the oven for about 20 minutes or until batter is risen and golden-brown.
Serve anointed with onion gravy.
Typical accompaniments are mushy peas but sauteed cabbage, collard greens, kale or broccoli rabe also work nicely.
For the peas:
1 lb frozen peas
1/4 stick unsalted butter
A dash of light or heavy cream (about 1-2 tablespoons)
1/2 cup water
Simmer the peas in the water for about 12 minutes until soft.
Add the butter, cream, salt and pepper and then smash the peas, but make sure to leave them with plenty of texture.
Serve on the side of the toad-in-the-hole, fish and chips, shepherd's pie, pork pie, cheese and onion pie, steak and kidney pie… you get the idea.

Perry's son backing Murray
Fred Perry's son is backing Andy Murray to end Britain's 76-year wait for a men's champion at Wimbledon on Sunday.
Last Updated: 07/07/12 2:09pm
Fred Perry's son is backing Andy Murray to end Britain's 76-year wait for a men's champion at Wimbledon on Sunday and believes his father would have been proud of the Scot.
David Perry, now 68, was adopted by Wimbledon legend Fred in 1953. He was Fred's fourth wife Bobby's son and later ran the family's famous sportswear business before moving into real estate.
While Fred died in 1995 without seeing a British successor come through to land the men's singles trophy, the Perry clan have since seen Tim Henman repeatedly go close, and Murray lose three semi-finals prior to Friday's breakthrough last-four triumph over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
Alex Perry, David's son and Fred's grandson, was on Centre Court to watch Murray tame Frenchman Tsonga over four sets.
At home in Paradise Valley, Arizona, David Perry hopes Murray can go one step further, and he is certain his father would believe another British champion is long overdue.
"I think he'd be thrilled that someone in a Jubilee year, an Olympic year in London, has achieved what Andy has," Perry said. "He'd be delighted somebody has finally got a shot at the title.
"I think my father would be proud that finally someone's come along who's good enough to take a shot at it.
"Dad would have said, 'It's been 75 years, it's time for somebody else to get there'.
"Andy's come close before but this is the first time he's had the chance to bring it home."
Fred Perry turned professional in 1937, making him ineligible for the grand slams, and it was a step that saw him ostracised by the tennis establishment.
He moved to America and became a US citizen in 1939. David Perry was born in Beverly Hills in 1943 and there is not a hint of a British accent in his voice.
He nevertheless has kept close tabs on British tennis, initially through his management of the Fred Perry business during the 1970s, when he was a regular at the grand slams, and now more from a distance.
"I'm thrilled Britain is behind Andy," he said. "It's wonderful to see it when the country gets behind somebody like they're getting behind him.
"What will be wonderful will be to see good support on Sunday.
"I saw him play Tsonga on TV and I'll watch the finals, cheering Andy on. It's going to be a great match, why wouldn't it be?
"Federer obviously wants to win for a seventh time and then Andy's obviously got all of England and Scotland behind him.
"I remember Virginia Wade winning in 1977 very clearly and that was a great occasion."
Perry is optimistic Murray will seize his big chance, and he half suspects it may be the 25-year-old's best, and perhaps only, shot at making British sporting history.
"There won't be anybody else that is going to do this for a while," Perry said. "Will he have another shot at winning it? I don't know.
"He had a definite advantage with the way the draw turned out this year. I don't think he'd have wanted Rafael Nadal again in the semi-finals, but you've still got to win against whoever you play.
"He's playing at a very good level at the moment. Let's see what plays out in the final. Everybody will be excited. It'll be great if he does it."

Semi-Markov and Markov labour histories
It is possible to construct a panel of labour market flows from the first wave of the British Household Panel Study. Using this data, a three-state Markov model of labour market transitions is specified and estimated, using the proportional hazard function approach. The three states considered are unemployment, employment and self-employment. The purpose of this exercise is to illustrate how Markovian models can be used to identify the determinants of labour market flows. The sample used consists of mature males (25-55 years old) as this to a large extent eliminates the problems associated with non-participation. Specification tests reveal that the null hypothesis that an individuals labour market history can be described by a Markov process can not be rejected, and hence the time invariant hazard rates are used to evaluate the steady state proportions.

This was an excellent film and I feel very poorly rated. It is yet another example of how broken the MPAA's rating system is. I definitely disagree with the rating and fear that many who would enjoy this film will not see it just because of the rating received. It is even harder to figure out than King's Speech was as to why it is R for Brief Strong Language when the F-word was used only once. The only other language could be a couple uses of a very commonly used phrase for either a homosexual or a man without a backbone. Maybe some people would take offense to the term? But I disagree with it making the film R. It was very fascinating to see the progression of J. Edgar through several presidents. The make-up used to make Leonardo DiCaprio, Naomi Watts and Armie Hammer look older was outstanding -esp. the detail of Hammer's age spots - and I imagine they will receive an Oscar nomination for it. Bottom line, if you have seen the trailer and it interested you - don't hesitate because of the rating - see this film!November 12th, 2011 · Details

Vintage Pair of Brass Spotted Deer (art metal)-BRASS VERY LARGE!!! male is 2 feet tall to the top of his antlers!!! This pair of brass deer is so beautiful. The pictures do not do them justice as they are more beautiful in person. These deer stand very nice. They are made from brass and are not completely solid in all areas, but they are very tall and heavy (LARGER THAN MY FULL GROWN CAT!!!!). They are in perfect condition with no breaks or repairs!!! I have seen these sell for as much as 500.00 for the pair. They can be placed in the home or in the yard. They will oxidize in the weather because of being made from brass, but will look very nice oxidized. They have a great patina to them. I am not exactly sure of the age of these, but i do know they are old. The male buck is standing in a very Regal position with his head held high, while the female doe has her head down feeding. If you are a Hunter or just love to look at deer....THESE ARE FOR YOU!!!!.. These deer show great details. You can see the spots and the hairs. The designer went to alot of time and trouble to capture the look of this pair of deer. This pair of deer is very heavy and will require a large box for shipping. They will be packaged properly for a safe arrival to your home. They are being sold AS-IS, in very nice vintage condition. I use AS-IS ... read more

Ashley first contacted our company. Telling me they were reputable and need a repair tech at one of their stores immediately. She said the job will pay 45 days later, And rest assure i will get paid. Has been over two months allready... Tammy P. says its our faults cause we didnt fax in the invoices on time. (I faxed them 2x already, they ignore them. I know this cause we've faxed in over 20 invoices and each was the same excuse)
While on the job we need to call in and get "repair amount Approval" "DNE". One price is agreed upon, and so not to charge extra service fees they request to fix it on the spot immediately as so to impress the customer. Back at the office corrections are attempted to be made to correct the DNE. Ashley in many casses was professional and corrected about 70% but about 30% of them were not corrected. And out of the Blue She does not work there anylonger. Next was Joanne, then Megan, then brian, Kelly, Tammy, Stanley Zdon. All spoke nice but were unwilling to correct the DNE Mistakes, Lowering our invoice by 50%-70% of the original amount agreed upon..
We put a stop to doing business with them after 45 days had passed and no check was recieved. In fact, Tammy's remark was "I dont have you in my system, I dont even know who you are?" A few days prior Doreen Answered the phone and said. "We have a check for you?"
This has been going none stop. Still not a single check received and they are ignoring us, putting us on hold and waiting until i hang up.

False reports on Rip off report
AUTHOR: Anonymous - ()
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, November 18, 2014POSTED: Tuesday, November 18, 2014
This is the President of first Resource Heating and Air. it has now been over a year since we attempted to collect from innovative facility Solution. They have written False reports about my company claiming we were rude and over priced, and got the carpet dirty. This is not just once but twice.
On a Good note, they have paid us 1/2 the amount. but still owe us over $6,000.00
On another good note Ripp off Report has removed one of their complaints.I emailed customer service and they looked into the bogus complaint.They let me know that they will file another one probably from another location. Which is exactly what happened.
We have a "A rating with the BBB" And have not had a single complaint ever.
Their latest excuse is "As far as we are concerned we are all payed up and dont owe you anything".
We will be taking them to a collection agency in a few weeks, but first we will report this to The BBB to bring their rating down and then all the invoices will further go to Advanced Auto Parts for further investigation
I would suggest if you are willing to do business with these people, Just call them and tell them they owe you money and see what a rude reponse you will recieve
Thank you!

IFS is an intentional rip off artist
AUTHOR: Commercial maintenance - ()
SUBMITTED: Thursday, August 08, 2013POSTED: Thursday, August 08, 2013
I wrote the first rip off report on this company. Clearly this company's policy is to try to avoid paying their vendors. I didn't get paid till I contacted Radio Shack corporate. They were very nice, and turned up the heat on IFS.
If you read the contract carefully for IFS, they put every kind of gobbly g**k possible in there to try to attempt some legitimacy in rejecting their invoices. Every invoice I did for them was done on time, zero quality issues, to the COMPLETE satisfaction, even elation of the customer, and to the EXACT PENNY that was agreed upon in writing. Yet every one they decided should be paid far less than the agreed upon amount, never said a word to me, and didn't pay because they "rejected" them. Their continuous lies are documented beyond argument in my first report on them.
We've all seen companies that operate this way. And I'll bet for every one or two vendors familiar with this website, there's a thousand others out there fighting with these guys to get their money.
There's only three things that can be done about this. First, tell everyone you know about this website. The more vendors that use this site, the less people that will get ripped off by companies like this. Second, DO call the company you did the work for. OF COURSE companies like IFS don't want that. They know the game they are playing. They want to keep their accounts with these businesses until they've ripped off and exhausted every vendor possible. Get in touch with corporate. Be polite and professional. They aren't the bad guys. They probably paid IFS on time. (Gee IFS, imagine that, paying for work agreed) But let corporate know, that IFS is refusing payment, and that you hope that maybe a few phone calls from them will convince IFS to pay before it becomes a legal issue. Third, when known rip off companies call you (I keep a list of them), ACCEPT the work order. Tell them you'll be there. Don't let on that you know about them. Then, don't show up. The more angry retailers that complain up the line that people never show up, the quicker companies will dump their contract with IFS. And the quicker they go out of business and stop ripping people off.
I don't know the gentleman who wrote this report. But his experience mirrors mine. IFS just decided, with no reason whatsoever, to reject my invoices. Then continuously lied to me and Radio Shack. That's why I try to do as much as possible through email. That way their lies are documented. And of course, they can't fudge postmarks.
I see IFS didn't try to dispute anything I wrote on my report about their constant lies, since I have all the emails and postmarks to prove it. Well IFS?

If they sent you a work order an you did not go over the no to exceed. Invoicing is signed. Present the bill to the location where the work was done. You have the signature of receiving the work. First let innovative know what you are going to do an they will pay attention.. the company I work for got our money by alerting the company where we did the work... they lost that account. An got paid. Now.. put in place cod customer policy.. cod...or hold account with credit card for 30 day credit billing...it's a privilege to be given 30 days credit. They are more then likely being paid for one job an paying off other older past due accounts... they are crooks. Plain an simple..buying time.

We had the same experience..An ran the credit card..much to Joe's surprise..Tammy an Joann...so Joe's the owner an Tammy is his girlfriend.

Or submit the paper work to where the work was done ,I'm sure they are benefiting in some way..that what the judge will ask. You really don't wanna work for them again anyway..right ..

Failure To Follow Procedures - Cosmin Sabadus/First Resource Heating & Air
AUTHOR: Innovative1 - ()
SUBMITTED: Friday, July 26, 2013POSTED: Friday, July 26, 2013
I know exactly whom this individual, Cosmin Sabadus of First Resource Heating & Air located in Lowell North Carolina, is and quite frankly he was forewarned from our company on many occasions that if he did not properly follow our company's procedures he would most likely end up forfeiting payment. This is also in plain black and white on every single work order issued from our company to him and any other vendor. He blatantly refused to readjust/readvise invoices when I explained to him that his invoices vastly surpassed his set allowance. His pricing was astronomical in that he tried to markup prices to makeup for any warranteed parts/labor for work that would not be billable (and quite frankly our client would not approve any of them anyways). His accusations of theivary towards Innovative Facility Solutions are completely untrue. If anyone is trying to be a thief or take advantage of a client it is Cosmin Sabadus of First Resource Heating & Air.
Our morals are quite in check and any invoices left open or outstanding were certainly brought to Cosmin Sabadus' attention prior to being rejected. He was given every opportunity (even extended periods of time than we are contractually obligated to) to rectify his invoices yet he chose not to. It is not Innovative Facility Solutions position to ensure the vendor turns in the proper paperwork after asked to do so. It is the vendors. It is however our decision to hold off on payment until the proper paperwork is received. Furthermore, he went outside of any binding agreement with Innovative Facility Solutions and contacted our client for payment. According to our policy this offense is grounds for forfeiture of all monies owed.
Innovative Facility Solutions has many vendors whom are completely satisfied with the work provided to them from us. They remit the proper paperwork and if any issues are found, rectify them in a timely manner for a timely payment. It is a shame that one individual, Cosmin Sabadus, who just refuses to follow proper procedures, decides to lash out irrationally against a company who overstepped their boundaries in trying to figure out a resolution in order to remit payment for services rendered.

JERUSALEM, Feb. 7 (UPI) -- An Israeli city council committee voted Wednesday to approve construction permits for more than 550 settlement units in East Jerusalem, a controversial decision that Palestinians are denouncing as illegal under international law and a blow to Mideast peace talks.
The Jerusalem municipality released a statement that said: "The local planning and building committee had dealt with request of private enterprises to approve building permits for 386 units in Har Homa, 136 units in Neve Yakov and 36 units in Pisgat Zeev for plans approved years ago."
The Palestinians see Israeli settlements as a major obstacle to peace negotiations that began six months ago.
Palestinian Executive Committee member Hanan Ashrawi responded to the announcement, asserting "Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is deliberately sending a strong message to the United States, Europe and the rest of the world that he has no intention of adhering to international law and the will of the international community."

I called, very anxious, about having had my buildings and contents insurance cancelled as a result of my insurance company not covering subsidence. Our property had never had any substantial movement and no work or monitoring (so no paperwork) but it had been noted that in the home report that there had been some movement but not recent and of no concern. Unfortunately when I tried to get insurance quote, I got the run around by a staff who assured me several times over the days following that my case had was being dealt with, when in fact they hadn't passed it onto the underwriters at all. On the positive side after getting another member of staff to speak with, day 4 without insurance, everything was resolved. In fact this staff member was excellent. Reassured me instantly, listened to me, kept me in the loop about my case, reported the other colleague to supervisor, recorded accurate records and got everything sorted in very efficient and effective manner. I just wish I had them from the start and it would have stopped all days of panic and worry.

Athletic training major gives performance of a lifetime
"I'm obsessed with theatre," said Christian Junker. "When I came to UNI, that was my official, declared major."
Junker, a junior at the University of Northern Iowa, is now an athletic training major. He made the change from theatre to athletic training because, "I'm fascinated by the human body," he said.
Due to the unique needs of performers, such as contortionists, Junker had to learn to "pay attention to the patient and what they need." Photo was taken by Camirand, courtesy of Cirque du Soleil.
Lucky for him, he was able to explore both of these interests this past summer when he interned with the famous entertainment company, Cirque du Soleil.
Junker originally contacted Cirque du Soleil about doing an athletic training internship during the summer between his freshman and sophomore years. However, he was told they didn't offer internships in that area.
Needless to say, Junker was disappointed. As luck would have it, Junker would meet someone who could help him through networking with his contacts at UNI.
"One of my advisers told me about a hall of excellence induction ceremony for people who had been in the School of Health, Physical Education and Leisure Services (HPELS)."
It was there that Junker met C. David Burton, a UNI graduate who was being inducted into the Elinor A. Crawford & William R. Thrall Hall of Excellence, who also happened to be supervisor of performance medicine for Cirque du Soleil's show, Alegria.
"I asked him if he had any tips or suggestions for how I could get more experience in the field, because I was interested in performance medicine, and he was like, 'Well, just come with me to Europe this summer.'"
Junker jumped at the opportunity to gain experience in this field, and also to explore France, where Alegria was playing for his two-and-a-half week internship. "I would walk like 90 seconds from my hotel, and then I'd be on the French Riviera at the Mediterranean Sea," he said. "It was great!"
But it wasn't all strolling along the French Riviera. Junker's responsibilities included setting up the athletic training rooms, getting supplies, reviewing schedules and attending meetings everyday. After that, "It would be continuous treatments on performers," said Junker.
The work didn't slow down when the show started, either. "There were three acts that we had to be sure we were out there to cover because they were considered more high-danger level," Junker said. "We would take our emergency med kits out there and we would watch the acts from offstage to make sure everything went ok."
He did get the chance to enjoy the show, though. "I watched one full show where I actually sat out in the audience."
Overall, the experience was a valuable one. "I took all of the skills I had, and applied them in a setting that I was unfamiliar with," said Junker. "It was a lot of experience with patients' values, and seeing how working with patients works. I learned about a more holistic view of medicine, because many of the people who work for Cirque Du Soleil are not from the United States, especially performers, and they have different views on medicine."
But the biggest thing he took away from the experience? "It just reaffirmed that I am in the right field for me."

Baseball group hopes to make field improvements
The DeSoto Park Commission has agreed to attempt to find room in its budget to forgive user fees owed by the DeSoto Youth Baseball Association so that the organization can fund $10,000 in improvements at the Miller Park ball fields.
The offer by Park Commissioner Mike Nolan came after the baseball association's commissioner, Don Clark, addressed the city council last Thursday.
As he had in January, Clark asked the city council to forgive the user fees the association will owe for the use of city ballparks during the coming summer. In return, the association would use the $4,800 earmarked for user fees to make needed improvements at Miller Park ball fields.
In addition, Clark said the association would contribute another $5,000 to the improvements.
Many of the improvements would add lighting or fencing needed to make the ballparks safer, he said.
The youth organization plays in a competitive environment with other organizations that use Johnson County and Eudora facilities, Clark said. The improvements are needed if the organization is to continue to attract youngster to its teams, he said.
"We're sitting at about 100 kids less than we had last year," he said. "The number one reason I'm hearing is the condition of the facilities down there (at Miller Park). That's why we're up here with such a concern. I'm trying to stop the bleeding."
Councilman Brad Seaman said that was disappointing considering the financial commitment the city has made in the ball fields the last few years.
Records show the city spent nearly $26,000 on ball fields last year for new equipment, improvements and wages and benefits for maintenance personnel.
Clark acknowledged the city's effort, but added the improvements the association hoped to fund would make the Miller Park ball fields competitive with any in the area.
Council members were reluctant to approve Clark's proposal because it did not receive the support of the park commission.
"We put the park board in place to take items like this off our agenda," Seaman said.
When council members indicated they had no problem with the park commission adjusting its budget to accommodate Clark's proposal, Nolan said the commission would attempt to do so.
Seaman expressed concern that other teams are using DeSoto ballparks for practice without paying user fees. Newly hired City Park and Recreation Director Jay Garvin said he would monitor the activity and work out a fee schedule for such use.
In other business, the council:
Approved a request from Garvin that the city purchase 1,111 tons of lime to spread on the ball fields. The city will purchase the lime from Hunt-Midwest Mining Inc. for $5,000.
Approved increasing the excise tax on subdivided land from 13 cents a square foot to 14 cents a square foot.
The city will study the tax, which funds improvements to city streets, sidewalks and street lighting, and may adjust it again in August.

Cloud computing has evolved through a series of phases, and most organisations already take advantage of cloud efficiencies with email and collaboration tools. This trend towards the cloud and SaaS based applications is driven by the need to innovate, simplify and cut costs. For most businesses, these benefits are just too compelling to overlook.
However, all businesses are under internal and external pressure and security is the major concern connected to the cloud.
In this guide, we have attempted to address the security concerns on the lips of those considering the cloud, "is my data secure", "who can access my data", "how is my data backed up", "where is my data stored", "can I trust the service provider" and so forth. What's more, we have also outlined the pros and cons of the cloud, the cloud trends, and looked closely at what cloud security entails.

ORLANDO, Fla., April 13 (UPI) -- Joe Johnson and Josh Smith ignited a quick Atlanta start Friday and the Hawks went on to demolish Orlando 109-81.
Atlanta built a 20-point halftime lead and coasted to the victory while shooting 50 percent from the field.
Both Johnson and Smith scored 16 points and rested during the second half while the bench took over the offensive load. Jannero Pargo had five of Atlanta's 14 3-pointers and scored 17 points in a backup role while Marvin Williams added 16.
Four Atlanta bench players reached double digits in scoring. The Hawks began the night tied with Orlando and Boston for fourth place in the Eastern Conference and the home-court advantage in the opening round of the playoffs that goes with that position.
Von Wafer scored 19 points for the Magic, who played their third straight game without Dwight Howard.
Howard reportedly went to Los Angeles Friday to obtain additional medical advice concerning his sore back.

- Really wanted to say and pretend this is the KoF XIII version, because I was first intro'd to this character in that game and he looked less derpy in XIII... but... 2003, he had the flames as black on his pants and jacket.... in XIII, the flames on the clothes are more like just a darker shade of red ~3~ Oh well
Wig Details
- Styling Notes
- The wig just... did it on it's own... and stayed. o_O;
- Wig Review
- I really love this wig. The skin cap on it was a super plus, too, since I'm naturally dark haired.

The poem(s) are below...
she planted seeds
pulled weeds
grew trees
and was into topiary;
then something grew inside her,
a weed that would not be pulled
the grass grew thick
and everywhere
the crabs thrived
the orchids flourished
and as she was going
the greater they grew
one day she stepped out there
and wilted in the shade
of a giant green flamingo
sometimes i think of her
when it's hot
pouring pink lemonade.

The Myth Of The Indian Aviator
Much of Shivkar Bapuji Talpade's life and how he went about inventing his flying machine is cloaked in mystery. He is a much-discussed subject on some websites, much of the conversation soaked in faux nationalism and less in research. According to most versions, he invented the aircraft by drawing upon the ideas of aviation outlined in Vedic texts.

Just in case cabin fever has people by the throat, this is a fun way to knock the dust off. The targets will be steel and clay pigeons. The clays may be thrown into the air by the falling steel targets, but no flying clays (like trap shooting targets).

How do Install this? Do I put on my SD Card ?
Was this the Loader,on an older verison, that had a middle finger for a pointer?
That was the HBC and uLoader
Mighty Loader v17.1 released
This seems kinda pointless. WBFS is no more than a pain now and making programs that support it exclusively kinda prolongs the misery. Just my opinion. I'll stick with WiiFlow.
Can't find the forwarder wad!

MIDDLETOWN – Shelby County settled for second-place at the Region 5 girls' golf tournament Monday, but the Rockets still have their sights set on a state championship.
The first-year East Middle Football Coach is new to head coaching, but very familiar with the school.
The Shelby County Football team returned to Robert Doyle Stadium to celebrate Homecoming Friday night after a two-point loss to Bullitt East last week, however the Rockets (0-6, 0-4) were unable to handle North Bullitt (3-2, 1-0), as they lost, 40-18.
The Eagles' defense held senior Quinten Cottrell to 10 yards rushing on nine carries, which forced Head Coach Todd Shipley to go with the backup, Chase Manica, who rushed for 85 yards and a touchdown.
Collins High School's football team scored five touchdowns in a first-quarter blitz of turnover-prone Bullitt East Friday night and cruised to a 52-7 Homecoming triumph in a Class 4A District-4 matchup.
With former Kentucky governor and school namesake Martha Layne Collins in attendance, the Titans (5-1, 2-1) rolled up a 45-7 halftime lead over the Chargers (3-3, 1-1) on the strength of five touchdown passes from senior quarterback Branden Cresap.
SCHS girls win Boyle
with record scores
Shelby County High School's girls golf team won the Boyle County Invitational on Saturday, shooting a season low 309, 35 shots ahead of second place Boyle County (344) to conclude their regular season.
The Rockets' Jordan Webb, Shannon Harover, and Michaela Manley also took the top three places for the tournament.
The regional high school golf tournaments start Monday. Shelby County will be among the favorites in the girls' 5th Regional, and Collins' boys have had a strong season. The girls play Monday at Midland Trail in Middletown. The boys play in the 6th Regional at Nevel Meade in Prospect on Tuesday.
The Collins and Shelby County boys' golf teams wrapped up their Central Kentucky Conference seasons in the CKC Tournament at the Shelbyville Country Club on Saturday.
Collins finished second among the 11 schools with an 18-hole total of 320, and SCHS was eighth (382).
Girls soccer: SCHS, Collins shutout
Shelby County lost, 4-0, in a road game at Male on Monday. It was only the second scoreless outing for the Rockets (3-7-0). They travel to Meade County today before playing six games in 10 days beginning at home against region leading North Oldham (9-2-1).
Collins' boys soccer team, ranked No. 23 in a poll of state coaches, was coming off its first loss of the season when Whitefield Academy came to town Tuesday.
The Titans showed they could bounce back, pounding the visitors, 10-1, the fourth time this year they have won by five goals or more.
Collins High School's football team once again coupled a bend-but-don't-break defense with an explosive offense and came away with a 27-7 Class 4A District-4 victory at LaRue County Friday night.
The Titans (4-1, 1-1) yielded a touchdown to the Hawks (2-2, 1-1) on the their first drive of the game, but then held their hosts scoreless the rest of the way while scoring four consecutive TDs – the last three on passes from senior quarterback Branden Cresap.

Isla Grande Wind Statistics, Winter averages since 2006
The graph illustrates how frequently and how strongly the wind blows from different directions over a normal northern hemisphere winter. The biggest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue indicates the strength, with deep blue showing the strongest winds. It is based on 6931 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2006, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Isla Grande, located 41 km away (25 miles). There are not enough recording stations world wide to use actual wind data. Invevitably some coastal places have very localized wind effects that would not be predicted by NWW3.
According to the model, the most common wind at Isla Grande blows from the NE. If the rose diagram shows a close to circular outline, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Isla Grande. Converseley, dominant spokes show favoured directions, and the more the darkest shade of blue, the stronger the wind. Spokes point in the direction the wind blows from. During a typical northern hemisphere winter, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (pale blue) about 6% of the time (5 days each northern hemisphere winter) and blows offshore 9% of the time (5 days in an average northern hemisphere winter). Over an average northern hemisphere winter winds stronger than >40kph (25mph) are expected on 2 days at Isla Grande
IMPORTANT: Beta version feature! Swell heights are open water values from NWW3. There is no attempt to model near-shore effects. Coastal wave heights will generally be less, especially if the break does not have unobstructed exposure to the open ocean.

For your size it looks right as your performance shortboard but dont expect this thing to be good in waist high mush. Sweet board overall, how much are they asking?

As far as I know, most breaks in the UK are somewhat similar to what we have on the East Coast here.... mostly mushy beach breaks most of the year.
That said, the board seems a little small for your general physiology in what looks like a standard high performance short board. i.e., probably not going to float you enough to give you the drive and power you might be looking for.
And, that said, Gaff beat me to what would be my original response. Not nearly enough info to get a really constructive response and it's a pretty nebulous question in the first place.
So, here's an example:
My go-to board: Coil 5'10" x 19.25 x 2.33 quad. Pretty flat entry rocker, deep single concave and it carries the width pretty far up the nose and has a fairly wide squash tail. It's a hybrid of their Widerboard. I'm 6'3", somewhere around 165-170, athletic and I've been surfing for about 22 years--mostly rail-to-rail, vertical snaps, tail-throws and such... This board actually floats me better than my step-up and my general hpsb and works great in anything waist to a foot or so overhead depending on how its breaking--it's pretty much magic.
How did I choose this board? Pretty much through my experience of riding different stuff and figuring out what what suits me and what doesn't and putting some serious thought into what I wanted next. If you don't have the experience to draw from, just buy the damned board and try it out. It is used after all, so it's not like it's going to lose a lot of value if you ride it a couple times and decide you don't like it--you can still sell it with little or no loss. What do you have to lose?

I am drinking Breakfast Blend in the evening guys. I'm a woman on the edge! There's no telling what I'll do!
Seriously though, this tea brews up a really nice amber color and is eminently drinkable. It's got a bit of astringency, especially towards the end of the cup. But still super tasty!

After exclusive images of the poor training condition that Kenya's Harambee Stars endured early on Thursday morning, citizens of the east African country responded via Twitter they lashing out at the west Africans.
The Harambee Stars had a work out at the Ajao Estate Primary School, Oshodi on Wednesday evening ahead of their match against the Super Eagles on Saturday.
Photographs of the Kenyans running on the dusty grounds of the school were retweeted all over the country as the east Africans got angry at the situation of their countrymen.
Swiftly, the topic #SomeonetellNigerians began to trend on the social networking site with many Kenyans weighing in with their thoughts.
We reproduce some of the top tweets below:
@Sewe450: #SomeoneTellNigeria we can throw stones from Kenya and break that African Cup of Nation Trophy
@saints_vj: #SomeoneTellNigeria their plane will land at Liboi then they walk to Nairobi
@okweroh : They will Train in Mandera before taking a pickup truck to Nairobi. Just wait #SomeOneTellNigeria
@Obkerry: #SomeoneTellNigeria That Kenya is a respected country...And we have training grounds not those "Nigerian Acting Villages" Respect us
@jacksobaff: #SomeoneTellNigeria. They will land in Tharaka Nithi and play against our strongholds and board Miraa pickups to Nairobi
@Kisenyajesse: #someonetellnigeria we are disappointed by the way they're treating Harambee. Next time they come here, come with your own airport to land
@dinobilal: #SomeoneTellNigeria we shall suspend the viewing of their movies if they fail to attend to our players appropriately
@Davynition: #SomeonetellNigeria we thought they were OGAnised. Harambee Stars Deserve better
@_gweth: #SomeoneTellNigeria We need an immediate apology, we are not a banana republic you will just intimidate.
@Superjohna07: #SOMEONETELLNIGERIA Our players don't drive themselves to clubs to beg for transfers on deadline day
@Elvice33: #someonetellnigeria Kenya isn't the type of country u would like 2 pick a fight with especially on social media!
Like I said in my tweet earlier, via @Jololade: Kenyans think they can win Saturday's game against Nigeria via Twitter #someonetellnigeria.
And Nigerians Took To Twitter To Defend Their Mother land
The only pageant in Kenya is the Rib counting contest #someonetellkenya
#SomeoneTellKenya you know all our Nigerian stars, your TV stations show our movies, but we dont even know where you are on the map @Nedunaija
#SomeoneTellKenya RT @hiteeobama: Benz 230 was just launched in Kenya last weekend
They said their President even took a pose with it @egbas
The last Kenyan who went on a diet, died instantly. They are already so skinny without skipping meals. #SomeoneTellKenya
@Ayourb Most handsome @DOlusegun: I still don't get why Prezzo isn't their president. Isn't he like the most popular guy in Kenya? @AbangMercy #someoneTellKenya
RT "@Osisiye: These Kenyans, barely out of the Stone age, and they throwing stones at us?" @omojuwa: #someoneTellKenya
Kenyans are actually more corrupt but they don't have as much money to steal :(" @omojuwa #someoneTellKenya
when a journalist called Nigeria vs Kenya a rivalry, he got sacked for blasphemy. This is a mismatch @omojuwa
Tourists don't visit Kenya for anything but the animals (wildlife) | Tourists come to Nigeria to see money #someoneTellKenya
@bubusn: #SomeoneTellKenya What do Mommoh, Dangote and Jim Ovia have in common? More jets than Kenya's national carrier."
#SomeoneTellKenya "@its_lilhits: There is Nothing like 6packs in Kenya..its called 6Ribs!!!☹"

Shares of Novellus Systems Inc. advanced Tuesday after an RBC Capital Markets analyst upgraded the chip manufacturing equipment maker, saying it likely won a "significant" design contract at a large memory chip customer.
Analyst Mahesh Sanganeria raised his rating on Novellus to "Top Pick," a notch above the already bullish previous rating of "Outperform."
Sanganeria did not identify the company Novellus likely secured a contract with. But he said "this design win sets up the company for market share improvement from near 5 percent to the vicinity of 30 percent" in the roughly $1 billion PVD or "physical vapor deposition" market.
Physical vapor deposition is a process used during semiconductor production. According to Capital IQ, customers of Novellus include Intel Corp. and Samsung Electronics Co.
The analyst raised his first-quarter profit estimate to 41 cents per share from 39 cents per share, and his second-quarter forecast to 44 cents per share from 30 cents per share.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expect a first-quarter profit of 33 cents per share and a second-quarter profit of 35 cents per share.
Shares of San Jose, Calif.-based Novellus rose $1.06, or 4.9 percent, to $22.50 in midday trading. In the past 52 weeks, the stock has traded between $11.43 and $26.

That not helping I checked on forums some people say change from IOS 36 to 236 I did that still installing giving that same error I do not know what to try next :(
Read my ?'s and posts between Maui and I. Post # 15743 page 1548. I had the same issue on two Wii's 4.3U. None of the loaders worked. Try some of the suggestions suggested by Maui. I eventually got it. Through a different process though and I only loaded one loader (USB Loader GX). Kids did not need all 4 loaders. I can link the wads and the USB Loader I used with video tutorial I followed through Dropbox. If you like.
Got it fixed all i did was uninstall the old shopping channel and when i installed the new one it went thru :)
Thanks for all the help
So softmodded my Wii this guide.
When playing a regular game throught the regular disc channel I have noticed an issue.
Randomly, during gameplay, the screen goes black for about a second and comes back. This does not happen oftten but its very strange and this never happened before the softmod. It has happened in the middle of boss fights.....maybe just the video cables going bad?
I am playing skyward sword with component cables set to widescreenand 480p.
Hey All - First time poster. Appreciate the help in advance. I have followed the guide in detail up until the point where I'm trying to downgrade to System Menu 4.1 (United States). I currently have system 4.3(U.S.) installed. I downloaded the files, have them on my SD Card, ran WiiMod, followed the steps to batch install all 3 wads, but then when it says ">>Installing Content," when it gets to ">>Installing content #04..." it just stops. No error messages pop up at all, it just stops at this point. I had successfully tried the IOS236 Installer suggestion (which worked fine), but this still happens. Everything else had gone perfectly up until this point (though I had not tried the Wii Shop Channel V21 install yet). Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated - thank you.
Addendum to my Last Post - I tried installing the 25 IOS wads even though I already have 4.3. Even though the verify sums tool showed everything was fine, only 24 out of the 25 installed correctly. "IOS48-64-v4124.wad" stops when it gets to ">>Installing content #01..." just like what I described happened in my last post. Maybe this will help with a solution. Thanks again in advance.

Im having some issues, i soft modded about a year ago with this guide (when it was mauifrog, using indiana jones game to mod) and now after a year of it working fine it is now having issues.
The problem im having is when i enter the usb channel (CFG Loader) instead of doing what it normally does and comes up with my backed up games, it just instantly loads a game and i cant select the game i want, should i update my softmod? or is it more likely an issue with CFG Loader? any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks
