One of your favorite inspirational romances, Renegade Husband, is now available as a complete and unabridged audiobook. When Audra moves to frontier Colorado to marry the local pastor, she is assured a life of adventure.
She never realizes how much adventure until her stagecoach is robbed - and she learns it's her future husband's twin brother who committed the crime. Through his life, Caleb Windsor has been blamed for the sins of his brother. But when he tries to stop his twin's outlaw lifestyle by arranging a marriage for him, Caleb doesn't realize how it will affect his own heart - especially when it seems Audra is much better suited to himself. Could Audra ever love a renegade husband? Can Caleb clear his name in time?

"Didn't live up to its potential"
I wanted to like this book. Although I thought the title was a little cheesy, it sounded like an interesting premise, and so I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, however, it wasn't very well-executed, either in writing or narration.
"Renegade Husband" is a story about Audra, a Nebraska girl looking for an adventure. When her pastor suggests she move out to the Colorado territory to marry one of his sons, also a pastor, she is eager for the opportunity to experience something new and exciting. She winds up in the midst of more adventure than she bargained for when her stage is held up on the way to her new home. It turns out that not everything is as it seems as she finds herself caught between twin brothers, one who, to quote Jane Austen, "has got all the goodness, and the other all the appearance of it."
My problem with this story was that everything about it felt rushed. Without more of a chance to get to know the characters, it was difficult to find their actions and choices believable. The romance aspect was very fast-paced, and it seemed as though Audra went from a strong dislike of the hero one minute to fervent devotion the next. The several points in the story that could have been suspenseful weren't because they ended so quickly with little, if any, description of the action, and the resolution was so brief that I probably would have been checking the battery on my ipod had it not been for the "Audible hopes you have enjoyed this program."
I'm not sure who was reading (it doesn't say in the site's book info or in the book itself), but she is definitely not my favorite narrator. Although she's clear enough, I wasn't a huge fan of her voices, and she has a habit of plowing through spots where there should be slightly longer pauses, either because of a change of thought (like a new paragraph) or change of time. It left me feeling like I was left behind and had to hurry to catch up. You can get some idea of what I'm talking about by listening to preview, but I found it got worse later in the book. This may not be a big deal to some, but I found it irritating and distracting.
The one thing I did appreciate about this story was the message of forgiveness and also of following God's plan rather than making plans and expecting Him to bless them. I've read similar messages in better-written books, though, so unless you enjoy this fast-paced kind of story, I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

you will be shocked to see this mobile...it will be very small.nIt will be better for girls.sound clarity,gprs, dual sim all are nice.nThere is one backdrop: No games....!ntouch is very fast & nice...!nFinally its worth for the price..!
Pros: touch is greatnnCons:nLess Internal memory doesn't allow you to put wallpapers of size more than 35KB. It is very hard to manage with this size, everything will be in a mess with this less memory. Also you cannot change the SMS tone of your choice. It has only 3 default worst tones.nnYou can spend some more bucks to get a good phone.
although a very cheap touch phone, perhaps the cheapest in it's category ,looks OK. you have to press hard to get the result. sometime works really great. camera- not to mention a line even. audio is nice and office seaters would love mild tone. for such a price it's a young man's toy.
I went to Jagdish market hyd today in search of this phone, it was available in only one shop and he said 2400, final price was 2100, I came home and ordered this phone on Flipkart. I hope they deliver it to me by saturday(8-Oct-2011). Hoping that its a good choice at this price :-)
purchase in march..nbattery : awesomenDual sim: when one is working u can't recieve the call on another, its a drwback.nConference call option is there, i tried but not supporting, need to consult for that first.nFeatures: very good.nTouchscreen: you need to press hard for that but once u get adjust with it, its working fine for you but not for others.nSound : very good, you can set the phone sound at lowest and u can still find it listenable.nAudio and FM is very good. One defect (i m not sure that is defect) when we play FM we need to go to channel list again and again to switch.. there should be option in earphone or headset to change the channel for FM.nHead Set: when u talk on phone by headset you need to speak loudly as i found till now.. this is headset problem or some other problem i dont know.nAll others features are good. I gave 85 points out of 100 and its worth for money.n2040 Rupees me or kya loge yaaro... keep enjoy

Hyderabad, Nov. 15: It took the national selectors, captain Sourav Ganguly and coach John Wright over two-and-a-half hours to pick the squad for the tour of Australia. The meeting started at 10.30 pm after Saturdays match and finished at 1 am.
At the end of all the deliberations, the wise men left out Yuvraj Singh, Hemang Badani, Murali Kartik and Lakshmipathy Balaji from the 20 named earlier. This means the 16-member squad will among others include Deep Dasgupta, Sadagopan Ramesh and Irfan Pathan. While the first two are making a comeback, Pathan earned his maiden call-up to the senior national squad.
The decision to leave out Kartik was difficult. He has performed well in one-day games. Tests are different. It was a fight for two slots between three. And when you have somebody with 350 Test wickets (Anil Kumble) and a spinner of the calibre of Harbhajan Singh, you have to opt for them, said Sourav, limping out of the selection meeting.
It was a difficult decision to leave out Kartik. But on a foreign trip, in a country like Australia, taking along three spinners is a luxury, the skipper said.
We have to take five medium-pacers on a trip like this, because when we tour, we expect seaming conditions.
Four of the national selectors, Kirti Azad missing, were present at the meeting.
Sourav said it was the best possible XVI under the circumstances, and given the requirements. Its prudent to have two specialist wicketkeepers on a long tour such as this. You cant expect Rahul Dravid to perform the dual role all the time. We felt this need on the tours of South Africa and England, and were well served by the presence of a second keeper in the squad.
The squad
Batsmen: Sourav Ganguly (captain), Rahul Dravid (vice-captain), Virender Sehwag, Akash Chopra, Sadagopan Ramesh, Sachin Tendulkar, V.V.S. Laxman.
Wicketkeepers: Parthiv Patel, Deep Dasgupta.
Spinners: Anil Kumble, Harbhajan Singh.
New-ball bowlers: Zaheer Khan, Ashish Nehra, Ajit Agarkar, Avishkar Salvi, Irfan Pathan.

Classpass has announced that it is to end its unlimited plans. The business revealed yesterday that offering unlimited fitness classes at multiple studios is no longer financially viable.
With an unlimited plan, members paid £110 to attend as many classes a month as they wanted (although only to the same studio a total of three times). Now, customers will pay £105 for just 10 classes a month.
While fitness devotees will no doubt be disappointed at this huge change, Classpass' founder and CEO Payal Kadakia explained why this was inevitable.
"When Classpass first started, we offered 10 classes for $99," Kadakia wrote in an open letter published on the Classpass website. "To introduce as many people to Classpass as we could, we introduced an 'Unlimited Summer' promotion in May 2014, hoping it would motivate new members to give us a try, discover beautiful boutique fitness and fall in love with Classpass. It worked."
Kadakia went on to explain that for every class that a member attends, Classpass has to pay the studio partners. "The more classes that were taken, the more we paid," she said. As people began to work out "every single day", it became "unsustainable" for its business model.
After being forced to continually raise prices, the business took the decision to stop the unlimited plan for good and has promised that no further price changes should be expected now that there is a more cost-efficient model.
Current members will be able to enjoy one final monthly cycle of the unlimited plan and will be offered a promotional deal for three months of 20 classes.
This news comes in the same week that the cult west-London fitness hub Core Collective announced it would be changing its pricing structure to meet demand.

If you have a single collectible golf ball, chances are you want it displayed because A) you hit a hole in one, or B) it's a signed or tournament-used ball from a golf professional and it deserves a special place apart from all the rest. In either case, you don't want it to go in with your regular golf ball collection. You want something unique, perhaps something customized, just for this ball. Continue reading

10 Best Golf Ball Displays for Collectible Golf Balls
We've been keeping tabs on the best golf ball displays for collectible golf balls.

Here, we provide an overview of the top ten best golf ball displays for golf ball collectors and enthusiasts. Continue reading
What to do with a Hole in One golf ball
Whether you're preparing for the day when you get your coveted hole in one or you just got back from the links having accomplished the rare feat, here's what to do with a hole in one golf ball. Continue reading

This classy hole in one plaque display features a stylish black frame, green felt, a country-club-style embroidered golfer crest, as well as a spot for your hole in one ball, a glass covered frame for your scorecard, and a distinguished laser engraved plaque insert, which showcases all the details of your hole in one.

Hole in One Award Poll
We sell a surprising amount of hole-in-one awards and displays at Northwest Gifts. Two are far and away the most popular, and people choose these particular displays for a variety of reasons: they like the shape, want a scorecard displayed, like embroidery, like displaying the ball in a certain way, like the price, and so on.
But I'm curious as to which of the three listed below you would choose, regardless of price, should you every knock down a hole-in-one. Check out the descriptions and then cast your vote at the bottom!
Shaped like the numbers of strokes a hole in one takes (or maybe just showing everybody else that you're #1?!), this wood trophy holds the prize ball and has the details of the shot engraved onto the surface: Name, date, golf course the hole-in-one was hit at, hole number, club used, and yardage of the shot.
This uniquely-shaped hole in one display is made from real wood and comes in Oak or Rosewood finish. A beautiful product with custom engraving makes this ball holder a great celebratory gift for someone who's shot an amazing hole in one!
2. Hole in One Plaque Personalized
This personalized Hole-in-One display is a perfect way to show off an incredible accomplishment. It securely hugs the prize hole-in-one golf ball with its soft inner foam core and also provides a place to exhibit the scorecard with that little #1. Name, date and course name is embroidered by hand onto the green felt face.
The glass protected scorecard opening is readily accessible from the front and will easily accommodate a scorecard measuring up to 5 1/2" x 13". The hole in one frame is made of 100% solid oak and comes with heavy-duty saw tooth wall mount hangers, ready to hang. Choose from three finish colors; honey, cherry and dark.
3. My Incredible Hole in One Plaque
A large wood plaque, sandcarved in a spectacular and unique sandblasting technique that results in an outline of a golfer smacking the hole-in-one ball and the words, "My Incredible Hole in One" emblazoned across the top, along with decorative accents. In relief is a green coloring highlighting the background, and centered is an engraved plaque personalized with the information pertinent to the shot.
The engraved golfer image is available as a male or female golfer, making this a great golf gift award for anyone who's hit the elusive hole in one. With room to show off the scorecard from the memorable round and the golf ball from the memorable shot, this is an intricate gift to commemorate a hole in one.

June 21st, 2005, 10:32 PM #1Ethnic Grocer tries again???
You've heard me ***** about EthnicGrocer.com before: how they went in and out of the CJ program and their links died for a month each time.
Just got an offer in the CJ interface. Not sure if they know I ditched them some time ago.
Sent an email asking why I should do anything for them now, based on their miserable history.

I kicked them to the curb too, Herb. CJ's food programs are pretty wretched.

I'd like to hear there is a new AM who means business, even though the orders have been rather small. I'd also like an apology.
June 22nd, 2005, 09:38 AM #4got an apology!!
Seems there is a new AM that wants to pull them out of the hole. Sounds good, and I did get an apology regarding their past performance. Now they are trying to revive expired affiliates and will be offering new creatives and hopefully some better tools.

Same experience. Made a ton of sales but for small orders like they had an incentive to buy the cheapest products. (I've seen orders below $1.00) I kicked them out at their third deactivation from CJ. That's funny how these companies screwed up bad and then end up coming back for our business.
June 22nd, 2005, 11:33 AM #6
I got a surprising email response (via CJ mail) this week from their AM. What was surprising was that it was an answer to an email I sent over TWO YEARS AGO! I was so ticked that it took them so long to answer that I said I would not do business with a company that takes two years to reply to affiliates. Well, the new AM emailed me to say her company is now running the program. Sounds like she means business. Still, looking at an EPC below $1 for 7day and 3month tells me to wait until they are doing much better before I develop anything with them.

I had a quick look at EthnicGrocer.com again. (I don't want to miss an opportunity!!!)
On their home page, at the bottom, why do they have that link to Real Estate Links saveonmls? It's a leak, but on top of that, are they in Real Estate or Ethnic Food...
Also, again on their home page, right column, specialty shops. All dead links!!!
Spice Store
Pasta Store
Baking Shop
Tea store
Cookware store
Seafood shop
Don't need to go further.

I got the idea from my response that they were going to re-do the site.
I've already asked for a country-specific text link that never got made under the old regime. I've also asked for some page maker gizmo like Akiva's dPSC.
I'm putting up minimal linking for now. Good thing I could find old code on my pages in an archive site. Spent five minutes work putting them back in place, which is enough until they start looking better.

>>>Still, looking at an EPC below $1 for 7day and 3month tells me to wait until they are doing much better before I develop anything with them.<<<
I would expect numbers like that after most of the affiliates probably bailed out and the site was forced to go it on its own. Being down for a month at a time, twice, doesn't do the numbers any good, either.

As far at Ethnic Grocer goes, regarless of what previous AM's did (or did not do) for the merchant, it was the merchants responsibility to keep the program running and knowing what was going on. I won't promote Ethnic Grocer after their record as it shows poor top management to me. But if the new AM can pull this off, I will look seriously at other merchants they represent.
June 22nd, 2005, 02:50 PM #11
>>>it was the merchants responsibility to keep the program running and knowing what was going on.<<<
For sure. But suppose after the initial setup the site management was done by a cousin, fresh off the boat . . .
June 30th, 2005, 01:04 AM #12
Hello, I can understand your frustration with the Ethnic Grocer program; becoming deactivated twice and not answering emails does not win the hearts of affiliates! Ethnic Grocer is in the process of making some really great upgrades to their site and we just took over the management of their affiliate program. We will really hit high gear when the site upgrades are done and will have a re-launch of the program. In the meantime, I have responded to ALL emails, no matter how old, and am striving for same day turn around on new questions and applications. (So far so good.)
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me (address is in the CJ merchant description), and I hope you all will give EG another look when we re-launch.

If you're a beauty product lover, then chances are you know of or shop at Sally Beauty Supply. Ever since I fell into the beauty world, I've been shopping at Sally's and I can always find what I'm looking for, whether it's makeup, hair tools, hair dye, nail polish or styling products, they have it all (over 7,000 professional quality products, actually) and at affordable prices. They are my beauty store one-stop-shop! I've always loved the fact that Sally Beauty is open to the public unlike other beauty supply stores that I've seen where you need to have a cosmetology license to shop.
Also, the staff is pretty knowledgeable with their products so if you ever need help with anything, they're there for you! One time, my hair went from a light blonde to a gross dark green shade when I attempted to go dark for the fall/winter! I walked into Sally's looking like Old Gregg and the lovely people there helped me with getting back to a more natural color. They gave me tips and suggested other products to maintain my color, which is nice and totally appreciated.
Luckily for me, my Sally Beauty is literally down the street from where I live, but if you think there isn't one near you, think again! Sally's has more than 2,800 stores worldwide including every state in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. If you want to see if there is a store near you, simply visit their store locator and see where the nearest Sally Beauty location is to you. Of course, you can always shop online at www.SallyBeauty.com.
I visited Sally Beauty recently to pick up some essentials that I've been needing and I thought I'd share them with you all! Some of these are products I've used before and some are things that I've been wanting to try.
Some or all products shown in this post may have been provided by the said brand(s) and/or website(s) for potential review and/or use. For more information, please read my DISCLAIMER.
Here is everything that I picked up from Sally's!
If you don't already know this, I do my own hair at home because I cannot afford going to get my hair done at a salon every few weeks. I've gotten it professionally done in the past, but I never got the results I wanted. My hair is naturally straight, medium thickness and is a medium chestnut brown with lots of red and golden undertones. I like having lighter hair, especially in the warmer months, so I need something that is going to lift my hair color with as little damage as possible. My hair is currently ombre, which I absolutely love and it gets loads of compliments everywhere I go so I want to maintain that. I haven't touched up my ends in a while and the blonde has grown out a lot and they are starting to get brassy so I thought I'd pick up this bleach by Clairol. I've never tried this one in particular, but apparently this one lightens up to 5 levels, works within 10 minutes, adds neutral/beige tones and is ideal for light blonde to dark brown hair. It's also enriched with aloe vera to add moisture.
If you do not know what you are doing, please do not attempt to bleach or dye your own hair. I've been bleaching and coloring my own hair for more than 10 years now and even for me it can be a bit tricky at times. I've messed up my hair more times than I can count and I'd hate it if you end up with results you aren't happy with. I've been there and it sucks! If you want to play it safe, please visit a professional!
You can't have bleach without developer! This is the one that I've always used and I've never had a problem with it. I don't usually get anything above 20 volume because that's enough lift for my needs. I do prefer the creme formula because it's easier to work with and not as messy as the clear formula.
This durable clear acrylic bowl is great because of it's unique design. The ridges along the inside of the bowl help remove excess color from the brush and the bowl features a tip-proof balanced designed to help avoid messes.
I love this tint brush because of the 2 1/2 inch wide bristles. It makes color application fast and easy. I also love the long handle that helps with control and the pointed end for parting hair.
If you don't know what a toner is, it's basically a hair color that adds or removes tones from your hair. For example, when I bleach my hair, I end up with unwanted brassy tones. In order to fix that, I go for a toner that has blue/violet tones to neutralize the yellow/orange tones. Toners can also be used to warm up a hair color that's too ashy, or if you want to keep your current tone if it's starting to look dull. This is when the color wheel comes in handy. Simply look for the tone that's closest to your hair color, and look for the opposite color on the wheel and that should be the tone of the toner you need, or stay within the same color if you want to maintain the tone you currently have. This toner by Wella always does the trick for me. The results are vibrant, and long-lasting.
I've never tried any of the actual hair dyes from Wella, but since I'm a fan of their toner, I thought I'd give this a shot. I have yet to try it, but it has great reviews, so hopefully it works well. I'll be using this on my roots once they grow out.
This was my first time picking up this hairspray and I am so glad that I did! It is a cheaper alternative to the ever so popular L'Oreal Elnett hairspray and it works just the same but I might just like this one better because it's more affordable. I love that it holds my style without making my hair feel crunchy and stiff, and it smells amazing. It's hard to pin-point the smell, but it smells a little fruity and it isn't overpowering.
As someone that does not wash their hair everyday, dry shampoo is must-have for me! It absorbs excess oil, refreshes my style and blends root regrowth. I wanted to give this one by Beyond The Zone a try since it has a hint of color to help blend in with my hair and it smells nice too.
This is my favorite type of brush to use on my hair. The mixture of the bristles are great for detangling my hair without little to no snagging, even when my hair is teased. This results in less damage, breakage and split-ends. Also, the titanium ceramic enhances natural ion release for shiny frizz-free results. The rounded ball tips are gentle on my sensitive scalp which is great.
Every time I visit Sally's I just have to pick up a new nail polish or two. I really like the bright and fun colors that China Glaze offers, so I picked up Rose Among Thorns which is a neon pink/coral and Be More Pacific, a light, minty/lime green.
This was my first time trying OPI's top coat. It does what it's supposed to do - it gives you a glossy, protective shine and it dries quickly. It doesn't seem to last as long as other top coats I've tried, but it does the job if it's all you can get your hands on.

I paid £1.69 for an eBay unlock code which was accepted by my (Tesco) Moto G 8GB.
I've saw over at the Motorola site about unlocking the boot-loader and want to know if this also removes carrier lock ?
1. Has the eBay seller given my IMEI to Motorola and already invalidated my warranty ?
2. Have I lost the benefit of Motorola services already ?
3. Has the eBay seller registered himself, with Motorola, as the owner of my device ?

Beijing, Aug 20 (IANS) A college student in China is suing the education ministry for describing homosexuality as a "disorder that should be treated".
The female college student in south China's Guangdong Province used the alias Qiu Bai when filing the case to prevent exposure of personal information, reported Xinhua news agency.
Qiu's frustrations began when she sought answers on her doubts about her sexual orientation at a library. Almost every book she consulted categorized homosexuality as a mental disorder, with some even suggesting electroshock therapy to cure the "disease".
On May 14, Qiu wrote to the Ministry of Education (MOE), asking them to clarify what regulations were in place to supervise such content.
However, her request received no response in the required limit of 15 days. She responded with a lawsuit against the ministry.
"Homosexuals are already under great pressure. Additional stigma from textbooks will cause direct harm. The MOE should bear the duty to monitor and supervise such content," Qiu said.
Her application has been received by the Beijing Municipal No.1 Intermediate People's Court and is pending further procedure.
Roughly 40 percent of 90 textbooks published after 2001 prescribe treating homosexuality as a disorder. Half of the textbooks insist its a disease that can be cured through therapy, according to an investigation by NGO Gay and Lesbian Campus Association.

Forum on wheels hits Canterbury
The infamous Vegetables.co.nz Forum on Wheels recently made its inaugural visit to Canterbury with rave reviews.
For those that haven't experienced it, a Forum on Wheels is an invitationonly, free paddock to plate experience for key influencers. It is offered several times a year focusing on the major growing regions - Pukekohe, Waikato and now Canterbury. Participants are bused around the region, provided regional growing information and statistics along with visiting up to 5 growers or industry
related facilities such as wholesalers or packers. The forum participants receive presentations from the growers on their operations; in field, packhouse and/or distribution facilities. The day also includes a lunch cooked by a local chef, in a restaurant setting, showcasing the local produce. During the lunch there is usually a presentation or a key speaker from the industry.
The forums most often take place in spring or autumn and usually include a mix of local chefs, educators (tertiary training institution tutors or home economics teachers), food writers/bloggers and health professionals.

results of his own travels in Siberia, but with infinite labor collected all the barometrical, geological and physical observations that had been recorded by other travelers. This preparatory work took him more than two years, followed by months of intense thought, to bring order out of what seemed "a bewildering chaos." Suddenly the solution flashed upon him: The structural lines of Asia, he was convinced, did not run north and south or east and west, as Humboldt represented them, but from north-east to south-west. This work he considered his chief contribution to science.
The next important geographical work undertaken by Kropotkin at the request of the Imperial Geographical Society was a journey through Finland in 1871-72 to study the glaciology of the Country. He returned with a mass of most interesting observations. After a visit to Western Europe, Kropotkin returned to St. Petersburg, and in 1874 presented his report on Finland.
This he did at a meeting of the Geographical Society where it was keenly discussed. A day or two later he was arrested, and finally imprisoned in the terrible Fortress of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, but was permitted to finish his work on the Glacial Period in Finland and in Central Europe, which with his magnum spus, "The Orography of Asia," were published after his escape, while he was residing in England under the name of Levashoff. In April, 1876, he had been transferred to another prison, and in a few days placed in the military hospital. The romantic story of his escape from this hospital is well known. He had no difficulty in passing through Finland and Sweden to Christiania, where in a British steamer he crossed to England, landing in Hull and going to Edinburgh, As he had to work for his living he began to send, in his assumed name of Levashoff, notes, mainly geographical, to The Times and Nature; of the latter I was then Sub-Editor. He ultimately, in 1877, I think, moved to London where I made his personal acquaintance, which was developed into a life friendship. Soon after his arrival a large work in Russian was to come for review and naturally it was sent to Levashoff. He called to see me with the book and asked if I read Russian, and alas, I had to admit that I could not. Pointing to the title-page he tld me it was a treatise on the geology and glaciation of Finaland, by P. Kropotkin...He told me brielfly his story, and naturally I was intensely interested. I told him we had no one in a position to review the book, and he might write an article stating briefly its main features and conclusions, which I am glad to say he did. Between London, France, and Switzerland he migrated, until, after two years' imprisonment in France he finally settled down in London, where he remained, with a few intermissions, till his unfortunate return to Russia in 1917. He soon formed literary connections in England in addition to The Times and Nature. He wrote largely for The Nineteenth Century, through which he ran his two well-known books, "Fields, Factories and Workshops" and "Mutual Aid Among Animals." To the eleventh edition of the "Britannica" he contributed most of the Russian geographical articles. Of course, he soon made himself at home at the Royal Geographical Society, and he was a valued contributor to The Journal. Among his contributions to The Nineteenth Century was an article in December, 1885, entitled, "What Geography Ought to Be," which is well worth reading. It is based on the "report on Geographical Education," issued by the Society in that year, and gives a comprehensive view of what he considered the field of geography ought to be, its value from the scientific and practical standpoint, and the place it ought to hold in education. "Surely," he says, "there is scarcely another science which might be rendered as attractive for the child as geography, and as powerful an instrument for the general development of the mind, for familiarizing the scholar with the true method of scientific reasoning, and for awakening the taste for natural science altogether."
Unfortunately, Kropotkin never again had an opportunity of doing active work in the field of scientific exploration. He became more and more absorbed in the promotion of his socialistic or rather anarchistic views, and suffered more and more from the consequences of the hardships he had to endure in prison. In his later years he became almost a chronic invalid, wheeled in a bath-chair about Brighton, where he lived for the last few years. His main contributions to geography are the records of his explorations in Eastern Siberia and the discussion of the great problems which they suggested to him; and his investigations into the glaciology of Finland. He was a keen observer, with a well-trained

Discussion and Questions
Defacing Guitar Picks?
on: November 27, 2007 05:13:40 PM
So I am making some jewelry out of guitar pics for my seester for Christmas and I don't like seeing the lables on most of them. I thought alcahol might get the brand names off, but that didn't work, wet sanding them did, but it made them dull even with 1200grit. We tried polishing them with my dremel, but it doesn't seem to be working either... we can buff the names off, but it takes forever and it's warping the thin picks.
Any ideas for getting these lables off? or for putting new images on?
Discussion and Questions
Any hardcore WWE or ECW fans out there??
on: November 15, 2007 06:15:48 PM
I'm making a ring for my nephew for Christmas, my mom got him a bunch of ECW guys (she didn't know there was a difference, but he likes ECW too) and he already has a good collection of WWE guys and accessories, but I want to make him a custom ring and undernieth will be storage for a few guys and some accessories.
PROBLEM BEING... I can't seem to find info on the regulation dimentions for the ring. I want to make it as close as possible to being regulation to the scale of the guys.
Anyone know what size the ring is? I heard 18x18 and 20x20, so I'm assuming that's pretty close.

The Double Whammy...
on: November 07, 2007 04:04:08 PM
I need to figure out what I am doing for hubby this year, problem being I always put way too much thought into things and never have time to cram all of my ideas into the gift(s). Yet the bigger problem lies right here...
2nd Year Wedding Anniversary, December 10th
Christmas, December 25th
Too close together! LOL I also have nearly no cash, so crafted items shall prevail.
For our Anniversary, I'd really like to do something with just us and no distractions. We have had a hard year this year and we never get any time together anymore.
For our first year (of dating) anniversary, I met him at the door with a heart shaped balloon with a smiley face (with kiss marks all over) on it and sent him off telling him only to follow his heart. He then walked inside and saw a smaller heart balloon, picked it up and went to the next... etc... until he got to the bathroom doorknob. He opened the door to see a nice hot bath drawn with candles everywhere and a smiley face balloon tied to a bottle floating in the tub. He opened the bottle, read a poem I had written him, and we hopped in the tub together and I popped in a CD of songs from our relationship.
I'd love something like that again, but I can't seem to find the long bunny trail I hopped off on to come up with all of that! LOL Any ideas you might have would be great.
For Christmas I want something more openable. I was thinking of a hunting "in a box" kinda thing because he keeps wanting to go hunting, but never seems to be able to get everything together before the season starts. BUT... I can't think of much to craft for it and he'd have to wait until next season at least and I don't want to give him a gift that will sit in a box for a year before he can use it.
About him... he's 25, smokes, lives for his sleep (and is impossible to wake up!!!!), not a big drinker, but likes to have a few drinks now and then, likes video games, not so much into sports, but does like WWE, he's a t-shirt, jeans, and a hat guy all the way, we're big animal lovers, he's a major unorganized procrastinator, so anything that would help him to schedule or organize anything would be good, but I am worried about giving him boring/cheesy gifts, so I don't know what to do for that.
As for crafting, I'll do anything I can get my hands on honestly. Polymer Clay, Decoupage, Jewelry Making, Candle Making, Fabric Transfers, Painting, Woodworking, Paper Crafts, Glass Etching, etc... and I also dabble at the local craft studio with painting pottery, making mosaics, stained glass, etc... I also love using found objects and giving them new purpose.
Thanks in advance for any and all help, I've been so worried about getting the people on our list taken care of, I nearly forgot we get to indulge eachother as well.

Help with crafted gifts for kids
on: November 02, 2007 07:34:40 PM
I'm going to try to craft as much as possible this year and avoid buying as much as possible.
I think I have figured out everyone else's gifts, in fact some of them are so easy I have to sort through my ideas and pick which I want to do, but these 3 kids are really throwing me for a loop, any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I have my brothers kids (2f,4f,5m) to craft for still and I'm having a hard time with them since they have everything they could ever want or need already. they definitly don't need any blankets, pillows, clothes, games, or toys... what else does a kid need? LOL
Polymer Clay: Completed Projects
I got bored--skeleton
on: September 13, 2007 12:44:21 PM
I was bored, so I decided to see how easy to work with Super Sculpey was. I am going to make a Halloween scene for a shelf in our living room (we put orange and black lights in the track light above one shelf) , so I just wanted to tinker with the clay, get a feel for it, and see if there was any chance that I would make something recognizable! LOL
I decided to try to make a skull, and it actually came out OK, so I just slapped together a quick upper body for him right on my marble worksurface, no plans to bake him or anything, just going to ball him back up and make him something else I guess LOL.
Anyway, here he is, his hands are really sloppy because I kept squishing them while trying to touch up the rest of him.
This is him on my worksurface with the 3 tools I used and the extra SS that I was using to hold my tools.
This pic is a little dark, but it came out better with the flash off.
This one shows his face pretty good, the only shot where you can really tell he has teeth LOL.
In this pic you can kinda see the crack in his skull and a little of the detail of his face.
This one is a little better for the cracked skull.
My brother didn't believe me when I told him there was no mold used for the skull LOL, I don't think it's THAT good, but I am supprised how well I did, especially since this is only my 2nd attempt at anything with polymer clay, the first being a small covered tin. Hopefully I can do it again when I actually start working on the scene! LOL
Winter Holidays
Starting Christmas projects with the Halloween ones :)
on: September 10, 2007 12:46:34 PM
We've decided to make all the gifts (or at least parts of the gifts) this year, so we're already making things, and we haven't even started halloween decorations yet! LOL.
I want to do one for my niece, Marissa, probably a "
not sure what to call it
in a box". My mom is getting her her first MP3 player, so I was going to make her some mixed mp3's that she can download for it and make little accessories for it, cases, a lasso for her headphones, skins, and whatnot, but I'm not sure what else to get her. We're really close, I basically raised her for 6 years, she's 12 now, way too pretty, way too smart, and she knows it LOL. She's a Diva with a tomboy core, just got into dance in school, wants to be a model
and I hate admitting that she's growing up, LOL. I feel old already! LOL
Then there is her brother, Shane. He's 10, I had him for 4 years, he has ADHD and pretty much just wants to get whatever he's doing over with so he can go play video games or watch wrestling, LOL. My mom is going to make him some wrestingling shirts and hoodies, but I can't think of much, I try to get him to do something other than games once in a while, so it's hard to think of much, that's why I like the shirts, they can be wrestling and games, but not on the TV! LOL
Then there is my nieces on hubby's side, Savannah and Kaylee, They are 5 and 4. Savannah just started Kindergarten, they are both into little mermaid, all the Disney princesses, tinkerbell, and generally anything pink or girly, LOL. Kaylee is a tomboy though, despite the pink and princesses, she's more into sports and rough and tumble, Savannah is mommy's little princess, she wants to be just like her mom and she acts like a princess, LOL. Problem is they really don't need anything, they have more clothes and toys and things than they know what to do with. I might just break the rules with them and get some storage solutions for their new play room (they just moved).
As for our crafting abilities, we're pretty diverse, my dad has his workshop with all the tools you would ever need for anything pretty much, so most anything wood/metal or otherwise garage/workshop related is doable, candle making, beading, decoupage and other paper crafts, iron on transfers, basic crochet, we're just starting working with polymer clay, glass etching, airbrushing, fabric painting and stenciling, ...and whatever else I can get my hands on, LOL.
Any ideas/help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Polymer Clay: Discussion and Questions
Couple questions before I can finnish my first project...
on: September 04, 2007 03:39:21 PM
OK, so I half finnished my first project last weekend. I started out planning to cover an altoids tin with a betta image, but I didn't use quite enough clay and huby rolled it too thin, so I folded it and ran it through the pasta machiene, which added to the technique I used at first, but then kinda just blurred the colors together and my mom said she really liked the way it turned out, so I used it on a smaller tin for her to use as a pill case. It came out pretty good, but I'm waiting to get my order of sandpaper before I finnish it and get pics....
Problem being mom has decided that she would really like her initials on it, and after thinking about it, we think it would look best and be easiest to do with Pearl Ex powders for the letters. So, would it be ok to finnish sanding it, then just use my embossing pen to write the initials on and add pearlex then lightly heat the initials? Or would I have to bake the whole tin again to set the powders and sand after?(without sanding off the initials?) Or is there an easier way?
Polymer Clay: Discussion and Questions
couple quick questions....
on: August 21, 2007 08:00:01 PM
So... I know you can use more than one type of clay on the same project, but can you actaully mix, lets say... Fimo soft and Sculpey III (or other combination of brands) together to make new colors or skinner blends? Would there be a problem mixing clays with different characteristics? (such as Sculpey III and Premo)
Also, I saw a tute on how to make faux dichoric glass out of p.c. (that I cannot find now and it's driving me mad) that involved adding layers and layers of acrylic medium, and it looked amazing, we're going to be getting a new set of acrylics soon, so I was going to grab some meduim too, but there are so many choices and I'm not sure what will work best with p.c. , anyone have any insight on which type(s) would be best?
Polymer Clay: Discussion and Questions
Making shapes smaller?
on: August 16, 2007 11:09:04 AM
OK, so some of the cookie cutters we ordered arrived today, and I guess we should have read the listing a little better. I thought they were maybe 3/4" or so, they're about 3-4"! LOL
Anyone have any ideas on how I could make the clay keep it's shape, but shrink down? LOL I know it's a far fetched idea, but I really wanted to use some on an altoids tin and none of them fit on the tin. I can still use them on other projects, but I was just curious if there is a way to make the same design, but smaller.

Rockland lawmakers reject Vanderhoef job cuts
A revised 2013 budget will land on the desk of Rockland County Executive C. Scott Vanderhoef as early as Wednesday, starting the clock on the period of five business days during which Vanderhoef can veto the budget in its entirety, veto individual line items or let it sail through.
In a late-night session Tuesday, Rockland County legislators -- eight Democrats and two Republicans -- passed an amended budget that left intact the tax increase of 18 percent, or an average of $157 per household, put forward under Vanderhoef's original $736 million budget proposal. But they restored 70 of the 125 jobs the county executive wants to eliminate.
In the legislators' proposed budget, the money to restore the 70 jobs comes in part from savings on overtime, the canceling of scheduled raises and the reduction of outsourcing costs. The legislators also envision switching an inpatient mental health unit to Nyack Hospital and selling a county nursing home.
When asked about the possibility of a veto Wednesday, Vanderhoef sounded flexible.
"We really haven't had a chance to look thoroughly enough to know," he said. "They've made some changes. There are not a lot of dramatic changes. They've added some folks back on, positions back into the budget, so we'll take a good look."
Should Vanderhoef veto the budget -- or any of its provisions -- the Democratic-controlled Legislature can override with the concurrence of 12 out of 17 legislators. Vanderhoef is a Republican.
The Legislature passed its version of the budget by a 10-7 vote at the tail end of a marathon six-hour session. Legis. Ilan Schoenberger (D-New City), chairman of the Legislature's Budget and Finance Committee, said he expects Vanderhoef to review the revised budget -- which comes in at roughly the same level as Vanderhoef's, $736 million -- line by line.
"If he vetoes it, we have the opportunity to override," Schoenberger said.
As they tackle the budget, Schoenberger, Vanderhoef and Stephen DeGroat, acting county budget director, are keeping an eye on credit agencies such as Moody's, which downgraded Rockland's debt to Baa3, raising its borrowing costs.
Schoenberger said he has received indications that the agencies have been pleased about efforts to cut expenses and increase revenue with the 18 percent tax increase.
Ed Day (R-New City), who voted against the lawmakers' budget Tuesday night, had presented his own budget amendments to the Legislature on Tuesday night, with offers to reduce by one-third the 18.4 percent property tax hike proposed by Vanderhoef. Day withdrew his proposals after other legislators disputed the numbers he brought to the table.
"We're going to try and make things work," Day said of the vote Tuesday night.
Residents had filled the county Legislature room at the Allison-Parris County Office Building in New City for the 6 p.m. meeting, but by the time lawmakers voted, well after 11 p.m., the crowd had dwindled to about three dozen.
Hours were spent debating the county's fiscal situation. Much of the commentary focused on the $96 million budget shortfall Vanderhoef faced in putting together his version of the budget. Legislators also discussed the $33 million in state spending mandates the county faces, and Gov. Andrew Cuomo's 2 percent property tax cap.
The Legislature voted 14-3 to pass a resolution overriding the property tax cap. This year, county taxes were increased by about 30 percent.
"It's shameful, and the truth of the matter is that the county should not be left hanging as they have been by our so-called leadership in Albany," said Legis. Douglas Jobson (R-Stony Point). "The mandates that come down each and every year and increase each year from Albany, the numbers get larger and larger ... I don't know how we can continue like this."
Vanderhoef has defended his original $736 million budget.
"We stand by our budget," Levine said. "Whatever they send us, they send us. In the end, we'll have to review and decide if we can go along with it or if it needs to be vetoed."
Vanderhoef is concerned about how the final budget will affect Rockland's bond rating, which is hovering just above junk status.
Attempting to address the county's long-term budget problems, the Legislature took further action Tuesday night, passing the Rockland County Deficit Reduction Act. The law is designed to chip away at the county's debts at a projected rate of $10 million per year. It would enable the Legislature to create an account for funds that will go solely to the county's debts. A two-thirds vote by the Legislature would be required to remove money from the account.

Inquisitor: English Site Launched
by Dhruin, 2006-08-31 22:47:00Thanks to Todd for pointing out that Wooden Dragon has opened an English site for Inquisitor. It's some time since we had any meaningful news on this title, so here's their description as a reminder:
The game Inquisitor is being developed by a new Czech team Wooden Dragon under the aegis of Cinemax, Ltd. Our common goal is to create a game that will never let the player quit until the last hellish monster or evil heretic is slain!
Inquisitor would like to reach the quality of such legends of PC RPGs as Dungeon Master, Ultima Underworld, The Elder Scrolls: Arena or Baldur's Gate.
The creators of Inquisitor were inspired by novels of well-known Italian writer Umberto Eco, especially by his famous novel The Name of the Rose. However, the inspiration lies not in the story (of course), but in a dark atmosphere and the way of story telling. On the other hand an attentive player will have a chance to find a lot of similarities with this literary masterpiece as well as with some other Eco's novels (Foucault's Pendulum, Baudolino).

MILAN (Reuters) - Vivendi (VIV.PA) is hopeful it can resolve a dispute with Italian broadcaster Mediaset (MS.MI) over a contested pay-TV deal, the CEO of the French media group Arnaud de Puyfontaine said on Friday.
Mediaset, owned by former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, is seeking damages from Vivendi after it backed away from an April accord to take full control of the Italian group's pay-TV unit Premium.
"We are optimistic about Mediaset. Perhaps we will find a solution," Puyfontaine told journalists after attending a board meeting of telecoms group Telecom Italia (TLIT.MI) in Milan.
Vivendi CEO declined to comment on a possible new proposal from the French group to Mediaset.

My Way To eat
Hi My name is Snowyz ,playing since S2 end - S3 .Im a unranked player who climb up to silver 2 in S4 ( i just did my 10 ranked games and i stopped cause it's wasn't fun :/ )
Today i will show you how to get fed as godzilla and carry late game with kog'maw
First of all , Kog'maw isn't a great laner , he can do things ( less than lucian or miss fortune ) but can't really trade .
he is weak against Champion can go in , CCing , tank , lock down , burst , like every adc you may say , but kog'maw is one of the slowest champion (325) whitout any escape or "CC" , cause his E isn't a real CC ( every other champion with 325 MS got a buff MS or a dash / escape / CC )
Master Kog'maw is master his lane facing . if you are not behind , and you get your RageBlade/berzerks before the IE/ER enemy ADC , you must fight and win trades
Pros / Cons
-Hard Late game Carry
-Massive damage Hybrid ( %HP , Magical , Physical )
-Long Range with his W ( 710 , more than Jinx with rocket launcher )
-AOE Slow ( E )
-Armor shredding ( 28 % armor and MR )
-Finisher ( R )
-Versatile Build ( can build everything that deal On hit damages )
-Low mobility
-No escape
-Need hard defensive support ( or 2 , one mid and 1 bot )
-Mana Issue if Spamming
-Early game not that good
Starting Items
Stater #1 :+
- Typical starter for ADC , strong ,good laning + LS
Stater #2 : +
- When you got possibilities to get this item , get it . Kog'maw is a Hypercarry Late game , so 450 Gold helps him a lot. but it's a high risk , medium reward item , cause you will get difficulties in lane , low survival abilities , no HP pool (thanks to Doran Blade)
-A Really Good One , buy it first , it's not a joke . Kog'maw synergy with On-hit effects is godly and he Scale with AP and AD AND AS ! This Item Give the Best Amount of AS (64%) in the entire game ( the only thing that give more AS than this is Jax Passive Relentless assault , up to 88 % AS boost late game with 8 stacks )
-This is a On-hit item that deals 6% of current enemy Health , give AS and some AD + Active deal 10% max enemy HP and a MS boost , perfect item for our Caterpillar
-One of the best enemy of ADC champions are Assassins and APC are often roaming botlane to get fed. if that scenario is finished and the APc is not fed , get this !
it give 40%AS , 40 MR and 40 on-hit Effect , and like i said , our Caterpillar/Godzilla is good with on-hit effects
Other Items
Good one :+ +
-Since Kog'maw deals hybrid Damages , Rageblade scale AP , and Gunblade heal 15 % of any damages deal , it's really Good !
-Runaan Help him a lot , Rageblade + Runaan = machine gun
(Runaan deals 15 on hit damages can help)
-I see a lot of kog'maw build BT , it's not a bad choice but lifesteal synergy with kog isn't the best . however , the shield is nice and give a lot of AD
Bad one :
-Kog'maw deals hybrid Damages , Death dance isn't really reliable on him , maybe death dance passive will prevent from burst but not strong enough
-Trinity Force , it was a godlike item on him , but now , he can't cast spell between AA so Sheen can't Procs + critical Strike is meh ...
-Infinity Edge is not really good on him cause of his W , allow him to go through AS cap but reduce 40 % of his Damages output ( on hit effect doesn't count)
So Critical Strike are not viable and IE isn't worth enough to make Critical viable
Boots of choice :
-Berzerks are godly on him , scale very well (60% with W)
-mercury are good agaisnt CC , and APC (if they are fed , there is no way your boots will help you)
-Swiftness are Op right now , give 65 Ms and kog'maw lack of escape , so it's a good idea to pick them ( only for 900 Gold )
-Never tried but sounds cool since Kog'maw Deal magical damages too
Enchant on boots : or
Against "people who don't really like you":
-Need something useful against assassin ? Get your GA! it's sounds business but it's the truth , GA help a lot and it's a late game item so you can skip 1 item for this
-Mercurial is for the hard CC , or Zed ( cause Zed don't give a f*ck )
Kog'maw works well with Support who can protect him (, , )
Offensive Champions are not that bad but Kog'maw's late game need protection , and can pell but not harder than a good or
+/ works well with kog'maw W

Entertaining such ideas in reality may be subject to the problem that you are a fallible human and incapable of the certainty needed to justify making the choice. It may be that fictional dictatorships could be better than fictional democracies, but in a real-life situation I could never know that the dictatorship is better with enough certainty to be able to choose the dictatorship.
I think this is worth pointing out because it seems like an easy mistake to use my reasoning to justify dictatorship. I also think this is an example of two ships passing in the night. Eliezer was talking about a meta-level/domain-general ethical injunction. When I was talking to the student, I was talking about how to avoid screwing up the object-level/domain-specific operationalization of the phrase 'good governance'.
My argument was that if you're asking yourself the question, "What does the best government look like?", assuming that that is indeed a right question, then you should be suspicious if you find yourself confidently proposing the answer, "My democracy." The first reason is that 'democracy' can function as a semantic stopsign, which would stop you dead in your tracks if you didn't have the motivation to grill yourself and ask, "Why does the best government look like my democracy?" The second reason is that the complement of the set containing the best government would be much larger than the set containing the best government, so if you use the mediocrity heuristic, then you should conclude that any given government in your hypothesis space is plausibly not the best government. If you consider it highly plausible that your democracy is the end state of political progress, then you're probably underestimating the plausibility of the true hypothesis. And lastly, we hope that we have thereby permitted ourselves to one day generate an answer that we expect to be better than what we have now, but that does not require the seizure of power by any individual or group.
If, in the course of your political-philosophical investigations, you find yourself attempting to determine your preference ordering over the governments in your hypothesis space, and, through further argumentation, you come to the separate and additional conclusion that dictatorship is preferable to democracy, then the ethical injunction, "Do not seize power for the good of the tribe," should kick in, because no domain is supposed to be exempt from an ethical injunction. It just so happens that you should also be suspicious of that conclusion on epistemic grounds, because the particular moral error that that particular ethical injunction is intended to prevent may often be caused by an act of self-deception. And if you add a new government to your hypothesis space, and this government somehow doesn't fit into the category 'dictatorship', but also involves the seizure of power for the good of the tribe, then the ethical injunction should kick in then too, and you should once more be suspicious on epistemic grounds as well.

command application problem
I have several files, each of which contain lists of files. What I need to do is replace text in each of the files in the lists. Each of the files in the lists have a similiar designation:
The command sequence I am trying to employ is as follows:
gunzip ./aa#/prod/#/#/final.pdb.gz ; perl -pi -
e 's/YSN/LYS/g' ./aa#/prod/#/#/final.pdb ; gzip ./aa#/prod/#/#/final.pdb
The way I am trying to do it right now is to go copy the orginal file(#.file) containing the list of files into three new files (#.unzip, #.rep, and #.zip). I then open each of the new files using emacs, and find and replace ./ and .pdb with the respective commands. This is a bit of a time consuming process. I would greatly appreciate help if there a way better way to implement the commands.
I guess what I would want to know is if there is a way to create a generic program file containing the command sequence I need to employ with place holders for the specific files from the lists. Something like:
gunzip xxx.gz ; perl -pi -e 's/YSN/LYS/g' xxx ; zip xxx
Then tell this program file to run the commands on the contents of the files containing the lists.
Not to be rude, but no one has any ideas? I see that people have viewed my post. If this isnt the right place for my post or if what I want to do isnt even possible please tell me. I have spent all day on google trying to figure out a way to do it. I am a novice at linux, so please help.
for file in ./aa*/prod/*/*/final.pdf.gz; do
Note that I told gunzip to send the file to standard out so that I wouldn't have to worry about the change in the filename.
Thanks, I will run a few tests and see if that works.
