Sorry for the double post, but I just saw this. No, the client/servers run great, I played this for a good 2 weeks out of pure nostalgia and loved every minute of it. The servers arent super populated, but youll run into plenty of people if you stay on the first couple blocks of a ship. Overall its an excellent free private server set up and its easy to get up and running to boot. |

I keep finding myself getting drawn back into Tibia for years and years. I have played it for like, 11 years now or so, and I keep finding myself coming back to it. If you haven't heard of it, it's a pretty popular RPG (Of Course), that was started in Germany and slowely became popular here. It's more or less like super nintendo graphics, if not slightly better, but the gameplay is fun and there is a whole bunch to do in game. There are over 50+ servers and guilds and all that jazz. Funny, I remember BETA testing it so many years back haha. It's a good one though. I used to play Maplestory and Ashen Empires too, but Maplestory has become too kiddy, and Ashen Empires constantly has this annoying load thing going on that stops your movement like literally every 3 seconds. |

I just started playing Star Wars Galaxies Emu. It's free as long as you have the retail copy of Star Wars Galaxies. I bought it on steam. It's the game before the combat upgrade. So far I like it but can't find anyone to play with. |

I've been playing mostly League of Legends in my off time. I've also been playing Fiesta, a cell shaded MMORPG with a pretty decent community and Divine Souls, which is a steampunk brawler that looks like Lineage that's in beta. |

Ragnarok Online is the shiz. I used to play that all the time, tons of private servers. Nowadays though, Vindictus is alright, pretty cool physics and good graphics, relatively new though, so both potential to grow and not as much stuff as other games like FLYFF and MapleStory. Like ALL good free MMOs are by Korean companies, except Perfect World but thats just decent, not that good, and they usually have multiple MMOs going on at the same time. So if you find a good MMO but want to look around more, check the company's website, might find some good stuff. |

Ted Cruz wins Values Voter straw poll
More than 2,200 people participated in summit
A year ago, he had never held elected office. Today, he is one of the country's top potential presidential candidates for 2016.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, won the Values Voter Summit straw poll Saturday with a commanding 42 percent of the vote. Dr. Ben Carson, a renowned neurosurgeon and Fox News contributor, finished in second place, one vote ahead of former Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pennsylvannia. They effectively tied, with 13 percent of the vote each.
Republican Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Marco Rubio of Florida rounded out the top five at 6 percent and 5 percent, respectively. GOP Rep. Paul Ryan, the former vice presidential candidate from Wisconsin, finished just behind them.
Carson won the vice presidential straw poll, with 21 percent, four points ahead of Cruz's second place. Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minnesota, placed third with 9 percent, and Paul and Rubio again rounded out the top five at 8 percent and 7 percent, respectively.
But the real story is Cruz, a freshman senator who has enjoyed a meteoritic rise to the top of the Republican Party's right wing. His first-place finish captured the highest percentage of votes since the straw poll began in 2007.
"The Values Voter straw poll reveals what conservative, Republican-leaning voters are looking for in a potential candidate," Family Research Council Action President Tony Perkins said in a statement. The Family Research Council sponsors the conference. "Values voters are looking for those who will refuse to be bound by the 'can't mentality' of the establishment and will challenge the status quo."
The Values Voter Summit, a political conference for social conservative activists and organizations, held its eighth annual conference in Washington. More than 2,200 people participated this year -- although the whole event generates an even greater buzz on social media and in conservative circles across the country.

By Andrew Seligman The Associated Press
CHICAGO - Top high school recruit Jabari Parker won't be signing his letter of intent when the early period begins on Wednesday.
Lola Parker said Tuesday her son is "not signing." She said he'll probably commit to a school in December and make it official in the spring.
Jabari Parker, who plays for Chicago's Simeon Career Academy, has made official visits to Michigan State, Duke and Florida.
A trip to Stanford scheduled for last weekend likely will happen in early December, instead, because he's been going for therapy on his broken right foot four days a week. He's also scheduled to visit Brigham Young over Thanksgiving weekend.
Lola Parker said her son hasn't ruled out any of those five schools. The early signing period runs through Nov. 21. If he doesn't sign before then, he can do it between April 17 and May 15.
"We've kind of left it to Jabari to figure it out, what he wants to do," Lola Parker said. "It's a great place to be in, that you can pick and choose and have choices."
A 6-foot-8 forward, Jabari Parker is one of the most prized recruits to come along in recent years. He received the Gatorade Boys Basketball Player of the Year award after leading Simeon to its third straight state championship while averaging 19.5 points and 8.9 rebounds as a junior.
He comes from the same high school that Chicago Bulls superstar Derrick Rose attended, and his father Sonny played six seasons with the Golden State Warriors in the NBA after starring at Chicago's Farragut Career Academy.
Religion also plays a big role in Jabari's life. He is a devout Mormon, just like his mom, and the Parkers have said a mission is a possibility.
While he's deciding his next step, he's also trying to recover from his foot injury. The timetable for his return remains up in the air.
"He's fine. He's just waiting to get a clearance from his doctor," Lola Parker said. "He does a lot of cardio. He's on the bike a lot, so he's doing stuff with his feet that he couldn't do. He has several weeks to go. He's just waiting to get a clearance but he's looking pretty good."

Looking good?
I love the Williams sisters. I know they get a lot of stick for the way they look. They are not everybodies idea of beauty (dont get me started on this) I think they are both beautiful women- I would kill for a full voluptous figure like Serena's! Having said that They do (in my humble opinion) sometimes wear the wrong clothes. Its like when you are young and you want to wear the same clothes as your friend- but you are completly diffferent shapes! I see it all the time. Nobody wants to be the fat/awkward friend. They -especially Serena- are not pencil thin holywood types, and should not dress as such. I would love to see their natural hair. Remember when they first came out- cornrows and beads everywhere!! They would be leading the way. I simply dont know why they bother with some of those weaves!!
I know it is not sounding like I love them- but I really do. They are brilliant business women who conduct themselves well at all times. And did someone mention tennis. Its funny to watch the last few Grand Slams. They are simply dull without them.
I hope to see them continue to do well when they retire.......
Jah Bless

Kate and I have just celebrated our 20th Wedding Anniversary, so we decided to fly over to Sydney as a 'getaway'.
By the time we had landed at Sydney Airport, I was missing my bike already, so we decided to hire some bikes & tour the city.
We phoned Bonza Bike Tours, who we had seen on the internet: They do guided tours on almost a daily basis.
They told us that they did not have a tour organised but were happy to take Kate and I out for the day anyway. We were to have a 5 hour tour of the City, just Kate myself and our tour guide !
Our guide Kat, took us on a 27km ride around the back streets, foot paths, and parks that we would never have found on our own, and when I checked my garmin at the end of our ride, I noted that we averaged a dizzy 7.9km / Hour ! I had thought that riding hills, and not sweating was impossible, but I was proved wrong.
Riding Slow had never been on my radar before, but I thoroughly enjoyed the day. Sydney has some BIG hills, in fact, the roads around Sydney are either UP or Down. There is NO Flat !
Our guide was so friendly and really knew her town, including where to buy a really good Pint !
Sydney has not been immune to our winter weather, and we received a fair down pour every day. The heavens opened again as we cycled over the Harbour Bridge.
We checked out were our Boss lives when she is in town. ( This is Kirrabilli House )
Then on through some beautiful gardens...
And finally back past the Opera house
A couple of days later, we went back to the bike tour shop and borrowed some bikes again.
This time we took ourselves on a short tour around Manly and North Heads.
Only 19km today, but we were much faster at 10km /h !
First we took the Ferry across to Manly...
Then we went looking for some more hills to climb
And finally went up to North Heads to go whale watching ( no whales today )
It was a super day out. Very relaxing, up and down hills, and for Kate the first time she has ridden a two wheeler for about 20 years !
Today I got home from work to find that she had phoned one of my friends ( Mike Branson ) and borrowed a racing bike. I think she has the BUG :)
Pete, how much for the tour and to later hire the bikes?
You know, I didn't post that because it sounds expensive, but it was $260 for the two of us, but really, after our day out, it was worth every cent !
The bike hire on the 2nd day was just $15 each, which was half price, as we had 'Done' their tour.
Happy anniversary Pete and Kate. Thanks for sharing your biking adventures in Sydney. Great trip report with beaut pics. Am sure it was a lot more fun than driving through that convoluted place! Which I have had to do a few times over the years. And yes, amazing scenery to enjoy.
We might see Kate out on a GW ride one day soon with a bit of luck.
looks like you both had a good time does this mean that sometimes faster is not necessarily more fun?
Happy anniversary and Great report and photos Pete. Have given a lot of people some good ideas for a proper way to tour a city. Sounded great fun and bet the beer tasted good !!!
nice sunny weather Pete ! wicked man
They didn't hire fluorescent shoe covers Pete?

Unlike any other running shoe on the market. A breakthrough in running shoe design, Bikila® is our first model designed specifically to promote a more natural, healthier and more efficient forefoot strike. While many folks have been running in their Vibram FiveFingers® for years, the Bikila® is our first barefoot model created exclusively for a more natural running experience.
Built on an entirely new platform, the Bikila® features a Dri-Lex® covered 3mm polyurethane insole (thickest under the ball of the foot) and a 4mm anatomical pod outsole design that offers more plating for underfoot protection. It also distributes forefoot impact without compromising important ground feedback essential to a proper forefoot-strike running form. To finish off this breakthrough design, the upper has a more athletic padded collar and topline, a single hook-and-loop closure, 3M™ reflective surfaces and tear-resistant TPU toe protection.

What size is right for you:
Foot shapes and sizes vary greatly. FiveFingers do provide some fit adjustment, but may not fit every foot type. To achieve the best fitting results for the particular style you are interested in, we recommend you follow the sizing chart and instructions here.
Fitting Tips For FiveFingers Minimalist Barefoot Shoes:
With the single strap fully open, insert your foot while gradually aligning each toe with the appropriate toe pocket - it's often best to start with your big toe and work down to the little toe, gradually inching forward as each toe finds its place. Check to make sure one toe is in each pocket.
AFTER each toe is in place, pull up the heel cup and nestle your own heel into the FiveFingers heel cup. It's important to get your heel firmly seated in the heel cup.
Pull the single strap closure across your instep and secure. Make sure the strap lies flat as it wraps around the foot. Wiggle your toes and adjust the strap to find your ideal FiveFingers comfort.
Vibram FiveFingers® minimalist sneakers and footwear combine innovative design, precision engineering and meticulous manufacturing. We've used only premium quality materials and the proven technology of Vibram® soles to create alternative footwear designed to enhance your performance.

Webster's Dictionary defines the word fierce this way: "menacingly wild, savage, or hostile."
That description is not one that is normally associated with Christian living. But Renee Crosby, Director of Christian Pep Rally, Inc defines her ministry efforts as FIERCE Christian living.
It's worth noting that Webster's does give an additional definition of 'fierce' farther down the page. Fierce can also be 'furiously eager and intense'. Those words more accurately represent Crosby's passion for what she describes as a "simple, but compelling message."
CPR describes itself on its website as "a band of people that want to help others along in our faith walk. We want to encourage Christians to get back to our grass roots movement and mission of God to be bold in our faith walk."

Lols I was the same last year with the Frp, 95% correction plus wet sanding on the whole front end then had to bloody drive it 450 miles! Worked out okay though!
Doesn't matter what car you have mate looking after is the main thing.
Lols I was the same last year with the Frp, 95% correction plus wet sanding on the whole front end then had to bloody drive it 450 miles! Worked out okay though!
Doesn't matter what car you have mate looking after is the main thing.
I've ordered some amigo now, I was impressed with black hole via DA so hoping this will be as good.
I was also disappointed with polished bliss' summer sale, I still ordered a fair bit anyway lol
It wasn't great. The tough coat wasn't a bad deal but didn't fancy much else.
I can't remember what I ordered, I know it was the interior trio, the metal polish and something else but can't remember lol
That sounds about right. I had 2 packages at the PO last week. Had no idea what they were.... 2 detailing orders!
Mercury is good. Some german company sell it in a tube also but it's about the same price.
I need to calm down, I just bought 2 new michelin ps3 for the Seat and it needs a new windscreen and I keep buying detailing gear lol I have so many products it bloody ridiculous and I still have a massive list of what I want lol
My brother is finally taking his interest further than halfords best for his silver VW T Kombi. So it's big and he doesn't have generally much time. Products wise I was thinking of the usual decontamination followed by maybe Prime then Amigo. I would usually then slap a wax on top but for ease of use and speed I was thinking of some kind of spray LSP that he could top up when he washes and would people recommend another stage between Amigo and LSP. I don't have any experience of sprays further than QD so your thoughts please gents.
Not done much with cleaning up exhausts other than the shiney tips, but how would autosol or mercury cope with the headaer pipe of a motorbike? An example picture of one in good condition below, the bikes I'm looking at aren't this clean
If its metal, mercury will clean it. Usual wash down and de-grime with G101, followed up by mercury on a MF towel should do the trick. It's likely to be similar metal to the exhaust so should clean up nicely.
Tough Coat added even more to Amigo today for me, not tried Z2 though.
Has anyone ever used amigo over W.Prime?
I'm not sure if it affected durability last time I did.
It wouldn't make too much difference if it was going on to bare paint anyway mate.
I love Prime though, great cleansing ability so wire in!
As above Aucky, it won't make a difference. I might ask Kev to bring his Amigo with him for me to try on the day. Mine is seriously lacking any love at the moment. Still looks great to the untrained eye, but is serious need of a decon, glaze and some LSP.
I suppose I should get working soon then :|
I really do hate this country sometimes. It's supposed to be summer ffs.
I got home early-ish today, so thought I'd start getting the car ready for Friday. Finished decamination, snow foamed again, then gave it a shampoo ready for claying. Next minute the heavens opened and it's been raining non stop for ages now
I need a garage..
I got my decontam done this afternoon, its been sitting in the garage since
I lost motivation after giving it a wipedown with CarPro Eraser. Paint looks positively w**k now I've pulled all the fillers out. Glaze and ellesspeeezz tomorrow.
Help me!!!
I'm due to go down and wax the car tonight but i've just been down there and its got a bit of dust on it. (Its stored in a dirty unit)
I can't wash it because of where it is.
What is the safest way of polishing / waxing it tonight without causing too much swirling.

From "Summer Weather"
A prolific Bay Area photographer finds new life in his vast, mostly unseen archives. And if the new project, Summer Weather, is any indication, there's fine work ahead
The 1970's was a golden age for snapshot photography in America, and the names of the day's masters roll off the tongue: Eggleston, Winogrand, Arbus, Friedlander, Jang. Jang? You might not know his name yet, but longtime San Francisco resident Michael Jang's extensive and excellent work is steadily coming to light. While studying photography at Cal Arts, Jang produced a series called "Beverly Hotel," which he shot by sneaking into private, celebrity-filled events. (In an essential interview with Wired from 2009, Jang gave the inside story of this work.) Almost 30 years after shooting "Beverly Hilton," the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) purchased a few prints from the series, along with a few from "The Jangs," another series from Jang's school days documenting his family life. Looking at the quality of these pictures (an overview of some of this work appears in the gallery above), it's tempting to ask: why did it take so long?
Although Jang had a long career as a commercial photographer after graduating from school, and continued to shoot his personal work, he simply never exhibited it. It's only over the past few years that it's been made accessible to the public. Jang says that cultivating relationships with people in the San Francisco photography community, like Ray Potes of Hamburger Eyes, has helped him to "loosen up" and consider his work in a new light. Hamburger Eyes, San Francisco's legendary underground photography magazine, published a collection of Jang's photographs in issue #12.
The most recent project to emerge from Jang's archives is "Summer Weather," recently released as a limited edition book through San Francisco's Owl & Tiger. It's a series of portraits from 1983, shot for a local television station, of people who'd entered a contest to become the channel's weather reporter. The photos are completely straight, but small touches (the hairstyles in particular) make it seem like 1983 air is still slowly leaking out of them. The photos were shot as a job, with standard umbrella lights, something Jang thought "was the kiss of death, as far as art was concerned." But now Jang's attitude towards the photos has changed: although he jokingly calls himself a "Rip Van Winkle of photography," but he was never really dormant as a photographer, and is still shooting today. If anything, it seems like he's woken up to a new way of viewing his own work.
In some ways, Michael Jang is like a West coast Vivian Maier—except he's still here to speak the truth.
AP: I'd like to start by talking about your recent project "Summer Weather." Why is it being released now, nearly 30 years after you shot it?
I studied photography in school, and there you learn all these rules and art dogma about what a good photo is, and it's kind of like you have all these people looking over your shoulder every time you shoot. I felt that very few of these images passed "the test," because you're in a critique situation, where people sometimes just tear you down. 30 years later, I've loosened up and gotten away from all that by meeting people like Ray at Hamburger Eyes. Things are just fun now, and I no longer worry about all that stuff, which means I now have triple the amount of images I thought I had. The fact is that "Summer Weather" was just a job, but now I'm looking at stuff I never considered to be art worthy as something that could create some interest out there in the world, depending on what it was, and how I shot it. I've been shooting all this time, so I have an unbelievable amount of negatives. Going through them is how I'm spending my time now.
So you didn't know that you had "Summer Weather"?
No, I didn't. I found these strips in an envelope, all stuck together in one glassine! I put them up to the light, and there were all these heads. I had an inkling that they might be interesting, but I really had no idea. So I scanned some and then I asked 2 or 3 friends, even my kids, who are pretty visually sophisticated, "Is this stuff good?" Everybody said: "Yes, it's good!" "Are you sure?" "Yes Michael, we're sure." I spent another few days scanning them and making prints, and the rest is history. It all happened within a month. Let me ask you, do you think the pictures are good?
They're just headshots against a blank, gray background lit with a solo umbrella. Do you know how many millions of pictures fall under that description? Why are these pictures different?
Well, we know that everyone is motivated by this iconic American thing--to be a local weatherman. But there's such a wide range of people, like the kid, and the guy with his eyes closed. So it's very human.
OK, I got you, maybe that's it. And isn't it wonderful? That's what it's about, not art ideas or intellectual concepts: it's the feeling. That I have. My two friends at Owl & Tiger like the fact that it wasn't executed as art, that it was for a job which never actually materialized, and so I never even got to the point of making contact sheets.
Have you thought about a wider book release for "Summer Weather"?
Basically, Owl & Tiger made only 15 really special handbound books, but they're now looking into doing a regular edition. That's planned for 2012. You can sign up to be notified about that through their website. I think they're on the rise, and that's why I went with them. I said: "There are more established publishing companies, but I'm going with you. It's more fun." Part of my involvement with the San Francisco photography community consists of collaborating with younger photographers. In the same way, I enjoy my relationship with Hamburger Eyes. Though what I'm doing is not necessarily mentoring, because I'm learning too! [laughs]
Personally, I think it's cool that your photograph of David Bowie is in the collection of SFMOMA, but is also accessible to anybody through Hamburger Eyes.
Oh, you're right! [laughs] I hadn't thought about that. I don't know if they would like that! About ten years ago, I showed SFMOMA the very first piece I ever made as a student at CalArts. It was the "Beverly Hilton" series, and they acquired a lot of those photos for their permanent collection. The very first time I was on the walls at SFMOMA was around 2003, with just one print. I was very excited. I went down to the museum, and on this short wall was Robert Frank, Lee Friedlander, Winogrand, Arbus, and me!
Now, up to this point nobody knew that I was a fine art photographer, as I was making a living doing editorial and portraiture. Since I'd always been a bit of a trickster, my kids thought it was a total put-on—that I'd paid someone to do this—because it made absolutely no sense. I had done nothing with those photos for 25 or 30 years, and I realized why: I'd taken a class with a big deal art critic, and he slammed me, really crushed me, leaving me with this awful feeling, and I just thought, well that's that—I'll shoot, but I'm not going to show this stuff. But that was a huge turning point for me, to realize, hey, maybe I need to look in to this. And that's what it's been like for the last five years. There's just so much to do in terms of going through all the boxes and boxes of negatives. It's like mining for gold, or knowing that somewhere you have a great wine that you locked in to a good year, and it keeps getting better and better. AP

International Women's Day
Today is the official International Women's Day! It was originally founded in times of the first world war to fight for women's rights and especially for their right to vote.
It was first suggested by the German socialist Clara Zetkin in 1910 to create such an international day after the women's movement in the US had initiated a successful day of protests for women's rights in 1909. The first international women's day was celebrated on March 19th in 1911 in Denmark, Germany, Austria-Hungary and Switzerland.

- pad holder Review by CC
Your Rating we received the pad holder for the wee wee pad, we love it. now our little one doesn't tear it apart. (Posted on 12/18/12)
- Great Review by Pepperann
Your Rating I bought these holders because my puppy was dragging her pads all over the house. She thought it was a game for me to chase her. These holders are wonderful. Stopped her immediately from dragging pads through the house. Very easy to use . Keeps pad in place. You may also think this is crazy, but with markers I draw a target in the middle red and black and spray pad with training spray. (Posted on 9/2/12)
- great product Review by dev
Your Rating This is a great product. keeps the wee wee pad in place securely, and easy to change when pad is soiled. highly recommend. (Posted on 3/10/11)
- Poor quality Review by Steve
Your Rating Very hard to lock the center lock. Two side does not match. Quality is very poor. (Posted on 3/10/11)
- GREAT Product for a GREAT Price! Review by LeeTal
Your Rating I bought this to keep the pee-pad in its designated place and also i was hoping that it would help me teach my puppy that all four of her paws need to be on the pad before she handles her business. The frame not only holds the pee-pad in place and keeps it flat, but after a couple of weeks, I no longer needed it for my puppy to properly handle her business on the pad without the frame.I now have two more puppies and it is working great with training them too!It[...] and i was quite pleased with its durability. It folds up and fits into my sports car when i travel and to clean it all i have to do is put it in the shower and rinse it off or simply wipe it down with a baby wipe.Overall, i couldn't be happier with this pee-pad frame and would recommend it to anyone! (Posted on 3/10/11)
- great product Review by kkjo
Your Rating I have 3 maltese, puppy paper training would not have been as easy if not for this product. (Posted on 3/10/11)
- Cheaply Made Review by ronspig
Your Rating Sent Back, cheaply made, hard to secure in place and flimsy. (Posted on 3/10/11)
- Looks Cheap Review by shih tzu owner
Your Rating I ordered it for my new puppy as she likes to play tug-a-war with her pad. When I received it I was disapointed to see how poorly made it was and looks like it will break easily. I had a hard time securing the sides to make it stay flat. I am sending it back. (Posted on 3/10/11)
- Not that thrilled Review by Wags N tails Maltese
Your Rating I have tried several different pad holders and this one is the most difficult to put pad in. I was surprised it did not have a bottom. Your pad sits directly on the floor. There are two frames the pad fits between. (Posted on 3/10/11)

When she said she was going to do it, I'll admit—I was nervous. I mean, I know she's 25 and married and a big girl. But she's still my baby sister. And the thought of her running in the middle of the night, by herself, through the mountains of Utah, had me a little nervous. All I had were visions of mountain lions and/or scary men hiding in bushes.
So when her Ragnar relay team said they needed someone to drive the vehicle support van, I didn't think twice. I jumped.
Not that there was anything I could do to keep a mountain lion from attacking, of course. But it was the best available option for this over-protective big sister. At least I could be there at her relay exchange points to cheer her on and make sure she arrived when and where she was supposed to.
Little did I know how I could somehow grow to love her even more as I watched her run up and down mountains.
As she began each of her three legs, I wished her luck and tried to remind her that she could do it. And then I prayed every minute she was gone (literally) that she would have the strength, mentally and physically to finish.
When she started her last leg–a seven mile stretch over steep hills and knee jarring declines–I could see she was spent. She had already run 13 miles over the course of twenty hours with little to no sleep, and there was no vehicle support allowed on the route to make sure she had enough water, stayed cool, or kept going. I had the hardest time driving away. I waved out the window until she was no longer a spec in my rear-view mirror.
Once out of sight, I drove quickly to her finish line and waited. But when it seemed like it was taking her longer than it should, I got a little worried. Was she alright? Was she injured? Had she given up?
But there was nothing I could do. So I just stood. Facing the mountain. My eyes fixed on the bend in the trail where she should eventually appear.
People milled around me. Her team mates tried to find shade and rested in the van. But I stayed, feet planted as the sun burned hot, praying to the God of the mountain in front of me that she would make it.
When she turned the corner and into my view, I breathed for the first time in an hour. Then I straightway went to the finish line and began to scream. She needed to hear me yelling. I needed her to hear me yelling. Yelling her name. Telling her she could do it. That she could finish.
I will never forget her face as she crossed the finish line. And I will never forget the weight of her limp, victorious body in my arms as I held her and told her again and again how amazing she was and how proud I was of her.
My baby sister? She is a champion.

me too...was a bit wigged out about sending my address, so I came here to see if anyone else got one too!
Pretty cool to get an email marked from Adam!
I got one from email@example.com. Yet the strangest thing is, that I was only on the BCC list and that the mail was addressed to someone completely unknown to me in another country - yet this other recipient is a real person as far as my research turned out...
What do we make of it?
anyone else...put a message to the bands media person through FB, not sure if they will answer. good research, I found the same thing!
We all seem to have the one thing in common that we obviously did partake. Furthermore, I asked the sender if it may have been a mistake in my case because I was only a "Bcc" recipient, and guess what, I got an answer today, which is again short, yet I slowly start believing that this is for real!
Anyway, I sent them my business address and will let you know what happens, if you´re still interested...
Looking forward to the prize - new food for my old recod player :-)
Thanks Niels, I gave an address too. Lets hope it is legit. Thanks for keeping me posted, think it would be great to keep updated. If it is legit, I am going to be beyond excited!!!
Just to validate, I received the email as well. I just received the EP vinal of AMBV last week. A very kind offering. Made my week. Thank you!
Anthony, I got mine too....It Made my WHOLE YEAR!!!! Love the counting crows...THANKS ADAM!!!
I dont have it yet.... (sad face). Are you guys in the US? Maybe that'll make a difference (Im in UK). x
The GreyBird Foundation was established because we believe America is a dream in which the thoughts and needs of each and every person matter. Unfortunately, people feel small as the world expands and they forget that they ARE America.
So we find the people down the street from you who are trying to do their part to help and we try and help THEM. Get involved with the idea of being involved people. After all, it's your town, your country, your world, and no one will ever make as much of a difference as you can just by waking up and being a part of it.

Photography and words by Zarina Holmes. Research and edit by Salina Christmas.
SlutWalk is fast becoming a global movement that provides feminists, and women of less political leanings, an expression of their feelings towards sexual abuse and sexual violence. Zarina Holmes follows the "sluts" and ponders: how on earth did women get here?
London, UK. The SlutWalk finally reached London yesterday, stretching from Piccadilly to Trafalgar Square.
The movement's aim is to fight for a sexual assault survivor's right not to feel that they were guilty in crimes that were committed against them.
The SlutWalk movement began in Toronto, and spread to other cities in North America and Europe.
In January this year, a spokesperson for the Toronto Police said: "Women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimised". Not long after that, and the subsequent Toronto Slutwalk protest, UK's Justice Secretary Kenneth Clarke put his foot in the mouth, saying that "date rape" did not count as a serious offence compared to others. He was forced to issue a public apology in May.
In 2010, it was reported that only 6% of rape complaints to police lead to a conviction in United Kingdom. It is a dismal figure for a country that had championed women's right for to vote over a century ago.
At the London event, there was an ample display of provocative dressing and bare breasts. Underneath the Lord Nelson's column, a middle-aged lady sunbathed topless in the middle of the fully clothed crowd. A couple of young men standing next to her giggled nervously, not quite knowing how to deal with the status ambiguity of the situation. There were no catcalls from male onlookers and by-standers, however. This collective demonstration of female sexuality was no invitation for that type of response.
Who gets to determine the female "sluttiness"?
Not just in the West, but in many societies, the female body is something women themselves have to apologise about. In some cultures, showing the hair and even wearing jeans would have earned harassments. Women have always been regarded as 'property' of men. Not surprisingly, the female bodies owned by these men become the yardstick of which men measure their dignity. Not the women's. Therefore, how women appear visually matters a great deal.
True, due to rules in culture, we are bound by a set of dress codes because the way we dress, in Bourdieu (1984) terms, is a means of displaying social symbols. Our ability to follow the right dress codes is not just a matter of taste, however. Within the Phillipe Bourgeous (1995) context, it's "social capital". You are screwed if you get it wrong. For women, however, another set of rules also apply (see paragraph above: 'property'). Women have to dress appropriately. To not dress appropriately is to invite some kind of 'punishments'. The punishments become a proxy for behaviours such as losing sexual control and behaving like animals. Clarke's careless comment underlines what he really thought of this proxy measure – one loathes to think what really goes on in his head. So, according to this proxy measure, if a woman walks down the street at night in a mini skirt and fishnet stockings, she is asking to be raped.
The media perpetuates this, through hyper-realistic and sexualised female images. Assaulted by the same messages over and over, we began to accept the distorted images of femininity.
The varying degrees of "sluttiness"
Sluttiness depends on cultural context. Most rape cases have got more to do the men's attitude than the women's appearances.
In countries that exercise extreme views such as the Congo, being a female is enough reason to be raped regardless of age (see paragraph 8 above: 'property'). In some orthodox Middle East countries, such as Saudi Arabia, rape charges often lead to imprisonment of the female victims instead. By 'not being careful' enough (and despite being covered up from head to toe), they dishonour themselves and their families. In some parts of Asia, like India, females perceived of having "Western values" are often considered as highly accessible for sex.
Interestingly, the "slut" phenomena exist only in developed societies where structured religions function as moral foundations.
Topless and scantily clad females were accepted in many indigenous cultures around the world, until religions such as Christianity and Islam came to tell them to 'cover up'.
In this context, the notion of 'looking respectable' is a recent idea introduced by the colonisers. For social mobility, indigenous women were encouraged to embrace progressive values and abandon the old way of dressing (or un-dressing).
Bad boys are good, sluts are bad
We have been excusing misogyny and supported the male psychosis by saying "boys will be boys."
Bad boys are endearing and almost innocent of everything they do. "Sluts", on the other hand, know what they are getting into.
It is unacceptable to think that a woman would prepare for her own rape in advance, or deserve to be antagonised more than others.
It is ignorant and deplorable to think that the female body is responsible for the waywardness of the heterosexual males.

It looks simple, but so contemporary in style especially with the fabric storage that comes with the table. Easy to assemble, and the quality is better than expected since the price was such a bargain. I bought two and I use in my room because the style is so appealing.I'm so glad that I found this nice table. I highly recommend it.
I came across this item when I decided to make my home more "kid friendly" since now i have two twins who seem to think they completely run my house, With what i consider to be lil monsters taking over my once kid free home i thought i needed to start making it alittle more safe. This end table is great because its stable and the fabric box is perfect to hold their items. I have them in my game room, once i am ready to put the rest of my not to friendly furniture away I will most likely be getting the rest of the set.
Cute side table for any room in the home. It arrived early than expected and the quality is better than expected. Easy assembly, and the it looks great. I use it as a storage for some of my books and it looks very nice. I love it.
very nice end table to have. it goes with any sofa set even any color. very modern and easy to assemble. love the modern fabirc storage bin, easy and it still looks great even when you remove the fabric bin. Great for lamps and magazine storages. I highly recommend it.
I'm happy with my purchase. I liked this table because of the storage box. Trust me it comes in handy to store anything. It doesn't take too much room and the color goes great with anything. Can't beat the price!
Petite end table that is perfect alongside the bedside. it's perfect because it's low profile and the basket is removable therefore really easy to pull out. super easy assembly and fast delivery. the price was just perfect - almost a steal. recommend for low profile sofa or for the bedroom
Wow I'm amazed with this product! Shipping was so fast, as well as the assembly since it only comes with very little parts to assemble even a child can assemble it. The price is very reasonable, and wow the style is unique and eye catching for sure. I enjoy the bin storage, it keeps the my living room from getting too cluttered with remote controls, magazines, mail, etc. I really like my fabric end table, I've had for years and it never goes out of style.
I purchase my end tables over a year ago and I'm still happy with it! The removable fabric is so clever, I am able to keep my living room neat and clean because I'm able to store all the remote controls, and random things in the fabric storage in which keeps everything out of site. For sure I got my money's worth and more. The quality is great, and the style is cleverly unique and chic. I highly recommend it, it's a great piece of furniture to have.
Well built but very small almost the size of a stool. To label it as a "table" is misleading.
I love it!!!!! Hubby said it was a breeze to put together. Shopped stores for similar table and quite frankly, they were over priced junk. I did use a coupon. Any ways, took out fabric drawer and use it for chargers and use the shelving for my computer and other electric gadgets. Its not very tall though, but perfect for my little space between my sofa and love seat. This table is well worth the price and very stable. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

US economy grows at 3.6 percent rate in 3rd qtr.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The U.S. economy grew at a 3.6 percent annual rate from July through September, the fastest since early 2012. But nearly half the growth came from a buildup in business stockpiles, a trend that could reverse in the current quarter and hold back growth.
