- jc 2012/07/04 16:26:56YesCouldn't stop,and ran over a rabbit on 95 one night.Felt allot worse that when I hit the drunk who ran into my truck with his bike!
- sunshine :) 2012/07/03 00:38:26YesI have hit a few racoons and 1 deer, there are way to many of them anyway around here so it didnt bother me much.
YesWhen I was 10, I ran over a black widow while riding a scooter. It was gross because I heard it crunching and saw its insides out.
- wildcat 2012/07/02 13:47:27Yes
- Vijay Pawar 2012/07/02 09:57:25Yes
- Playerazzi 2012/07/02 09:00:46YesI ran over a squirrel once. I was coming around a bend on my motorcycle, and saw it running across the road, and then it turned around and came back - right under my tires. I was both "ah, damn, why did he have to do that, now he's dead!", and worried that I would wipe out.
I've never forgotten it. - C-ZAR™, Emperor of the PHÆT 2012/07/02 08:33:23No
- SoonHee 2012/07/02 08:29:17Yes>>Have you ever run over an animal? <<
Yes, several times, including hitting a deer once. Never on purpose, of course.
>>How did it make you feel?<<
I didn't feel good about it, but I didn't lose any sleep over it, either.
For instance, one time I was driving along, and there was a squirrel on the side of the road.
It would have been fine if it had stayed where it was, but at the last second, it decided to try to dart across the road in front of me.
My front tires missed the squirrel, but my rear left tire didn't. Thump.
I didn't feel great that my tire flattened a squirrel like a pancake. But the squirrel should've stayed where it was. - sky blue pink - American 2012/07/02 07:40:20No
- vetogod 2012/07/02 07:34:52Yesbreaks my heart to say it but yes i was on my bike going down a hill and i was going too fast too stop in time when a cat ran in front of me and it made me crash and as soon as i got up i ran over to it crying and holding it saying i am sorry im sorry i tried to stop i tried..... and the owner came out and saw me in tears and hit me in the chest yelling at me and i was trying to explain what happened while crying and when the cops came they realized it was an accident and let me go but i still could not stop crying cause i love cats and never imagined i would ever hurt one it was the worst day ever i still cant help but think i could have stopped that from happening somehow
- LunarRain 2012/07/02 06:03:08NoBut I get so sad when I see dead animals on the side of the road and i always stop for all the animals even birds but if I hit one I would be so sad and maybe cry.
- Dagon 2012/07/02 05:08:17
- Jerry 2012/07/02 04:45:01YesI was going 50 mph & a stupid raccoon, walked out in the middle of the road looked at me & I heard a thud, I felt a little bad but I wasn't going to lose control of the car slamming on my brakes to stop from hitting him.
- themadhare ~IJM 2012/07/02 04:34:29YesA cat suddenly dashed out from a yard and stopped right in front of my tire. I felt lousy, but only a little. It was so fast there wasn't anything I could do.

By Thomas Pope Sports editor
The Fayetteville FireAntz started the Southern Professional Hockey League season with a 12-1 record.
In their last 16 outings, including Saturday night's 5-2 loss to the Mississippi Surge, they're 6-9-1.
"It doesn't matter who you're playing, you can't be chasing all night long," coach Mark DeSantis said. "You've got to be ready from the start and that's the thing about being a pro. You've got to bring it every night.
"You can't worry about getting to the next level. You're here. The only way you're going to get there is do well here. You've got to want to win more for your teammate than yourself. That's what good teams do and winning teams do. "
The Antz (18-10-1, 37 points) dug a hole from the get-go by allowing two quick goals, then turned it into a grave at 4-0 just 4:23 into the second period. Reid Emondson scored a pair fo the Surge, with Joe Harcharik, Kyle Kudroch and Nicholas Kuqali also chipping in to make it 5-0.
It wasn't until Ben Contini scored twice in 3:22 that the FireAntz began to try to claw their way out of abyss, but it wasn't to be. They managed a measly four shots in the final 20 minutes as Mississippi evened its record at 12-12-4.
"We weren't picking up their sticks early," Contini said. "We weren't tough enough in our own end. We just kind of were just watching, sitting back, expecting us to let them have a couple and we wind up spotting them two. The first couple of minutes of each period killed us tonight."
Contini's hustle produced a steal in the Surge zone, and though Dan Clarke blocked his first shot, Contini fired another that found a hole for an unassisted goal. Contini added a power-play score at 14:03 on assists from Brandon Richardson and Brock Sawyer.
"It was probably too little, too late," Contini said.
DeSantis' postgame meeting with his team usually last no more than a minute. Saturday night, it went more than six.
"These guys, they know what they're capable of doing," DeSantis said. "But you've got to bring it every night."
So, what should be expected from the FireAntz at 4 p.m. today when the teams meet again?
"I expect a different first five minutes," Contini said.
Added DeSantis: "I expect us to be ready to go. I shouldn't even have to coach them. They know what they need to do."

Dow Industrials up in July up today -- they've gained in nine out of the last ten months.
But our next guest says there are many reasons to be cautious.
Joining us as an -- -- mesh the chief economist at high -- -- global insight an -- if you buy into the stock market now looking at how much.
The major market gauges have rallied this sheet just this year and the NASDAQ -- is almost up 13%.
Are you betting that somehow of those policy makers at central banks around the world -- gonna rescue us from what is -- very troubled economy.
-- you're right that old but a lot of the recent market rallies have been due to expectations.
Of further easing and further liquidity injections.
Especially by the Fed and the European Central Bank.
I think you have to sort of say is this good news or is this lack of bad news I think it's -- a lack of bad news in the sense that.
I think what markets are very worried about was a meltdown in Europe that would drag down the US.
-- -- this sense they have now is that probably isn't gonna happen say in that sense -- euphoric that a bad thing isn't gonna happen.
But in speaking of needing to happen to Washington later this year has to tackle.
So many problems whether it's up cutting spending whether it's extending the tax cuts.
Our people walking out on -- plank.
If you load up on stocks right now knowing what might not happen in.
Well I -- while I don't rule out a sort of hiccup if you well and in terms of the politics and and the market reaction I can't believe.
That anyone in Washington is gonna wanna be blamed for killing the economy which is what would happen if we -- over the fiscal -- so I suspect.
Don't come to their senses already they did I mean -- -- that continued resolution yesterday.
They're gonna kick back can down the road -- it's not gonna happen in terms of going off the cliff at the end of this year beginning next here.
As is that no politician in their right mind wants to be blamed for killing the economies that they'll.
Figure something now.
Well in terms of there's that deficit spending and the additional borrowing that's going on.
Is the Federal Reserve -- we're gonna hear from the Central Bank later today is the Federal Reserve just giving more grain alcohol -- To politicians who -- already wildly drunk.
On borrowing money.
I think there's always that risk.
But you have to consider what's the alternative especially given the fragility in the global economy.
Given the fragility in the US growth rates that we've guy you know 11 and a half percent.
And unemployment rate that's stuck over 8% I don't think the Fed has a lot of choices there but I think you're right that the -- -- obviously it's letting the politicians in Washington.
Off the -- in terms of deficit -- an -- And their -- great top -- thank you so much and chairman Bair vanished being well you're welcome back anytime -- With the.

Our 19th Annual Rankings
Schools in Quebec, British Columbia and New Brunswick top our evaluation of university excellence
With this year's rankings, Maclean's continues the mandate it established in 1991: to provide essential information in a comprehensive package to help students choose the university that best suits their needs. The annual rankings assess Canadian universities on a diverse range of factors, from spending on student services, scholarships and libraries, to student/faculty ratios and faculty success in obtaining national research grants. Maclean's surveys universities with a focus on the undergraduate experience, and an intent to offer an overview of the quality of instruction and services available to students at public universities across the country.
Maclean's places universities in one of three categories, recognizing the differences in types of institutions, levels of research funding, the diversity of offerings, and the range of graduate and professional programs. Primarily Undergraduate universities, as the name suggests, are largely focused on undergraduate education, with relatively few graduate programs. Those in the Comprehensive category have a significant degree of research activity and a wide range of programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels, including professional degrees. Medical Doctoral universities offer a broad range of Ph.D. programs and research; as well, all universities in this category have medical schools, which sets them apart in terms of the size of research grants.
In each category, Maclean's ranks the institutions on performance indicators in six broad areas, allocating a weight to each indicator. Primarily Undergraduate and Comprehensive universities are ranked on 13 performance measures; Medical Doctoral universities are ranked on 14. Figures include data from all federated and affiliated institutions. The magazine does not rank schools with fewer than 1,000 full-time students, those that are restrictive due to a religious or specialized mission, newly designated universities or those that are not members of the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC).
For the fifth year in a row, McGill has taken the top spot in the Medical Doctoral category. On a per capita basis, McGill's faculty perform strongly in winning awards and research grants. A first-place finish on student awards and the reputational survey boosted the school's overall score.
For Medical Doctoral results, click to enlarge.
In the Comprehensive category, Simon Fraser finished first for the second year in a row. Once again, an outstanding showing in winning student and faculty awards, as well as research grants, contributed to a top-notch score. In addition, SFU scored highly on library spending, particularly in spending on acquisitions.
For Comprehensive results, click to enlarge.
For the third year running, Mount Allison took the top position in the Primarily Undergraduate category. On a per capita basis, Mount A students win more awards than any of their peers at other institutions, and the faculty follow closely behind, coming in second on the awards indicator. Placing well on operating budget expenditures per student, spending on the library, number of library volumes per student and the reputational survey all contributed to a winning score.
For Primarily Undergraduate results, click to enlarge.
This year, a new university was ranked in the Primarily Undergraduate category. The University of Ontario Institute of Technology, founded in 2003 in Oshawa, made a strong debut, placing 12th out of 22 institutions. Strength in research funding—UOIT placed first in obtaining social sciences and humanities grants and fourth in medical/science grants—as well as a first-place finish on funding student services and library acquisitions contributed to a strong score.
Next: How are the rankings decided?

1. Online Fundraising - This is a quick and easy way to fundraise! Set up your account and send "sponsor me emails" to your list of potential sponsors.
2. Letter Campaign - Use our pre-written letters, or create one of your own, and send them to all of your friends, family and co-workers.
3. Corporate Matching Gift - Ask your company to match the amount of pledges you receive from your fellow co-workers.
4. Your own personal friend Matching Gift - Ask your sponsors if they can investigate getting their companies to match pledges.
5. Corporate Sponsorship - Identify one or several large companies and contact them directly (they may be willing to sponsor you completely).
6. Product Parties - Everyone's heard of Tupperware parties, but did you know that there's also Pampered Chef, Silpada Jewelry, Mary Kay Cosmetics and more? Host a party at your house and invite all your friends and family to join you. The presenter will donate a percentage of profits or sales from the night to your account.
7. Bucketing for Donations- Find a store near you that will allow you to stand outside the front door on a Saturday morning asking patrons to make a donation of their spare change or even a couple bucks. Make sure you get permission first.
8. Dress Down Day - This is usually a successful fundraising tool! Ask your company if they will allow those who donate to wear jeans on a designated day (usually Fridays). Send out an email to your staff notifying them. Have everyone pay $5 to dress down and put all of the money towards your fundraising.
9. Desk Drop - Get a box of assorted cookies (usually 36 bags per box from Costco or BJ's). Make up little business cards with your team information on it and directions on how to sponsor you. Attach the card to the cookies and drop one on each desk of your co-workers that you want to sponsor you. It is even better when you see them personally so you can tell about your efforts and what you are doing
10. Website - Create your own personal page about your journey. Send an email to everyone on your contact list and invite them to visit the website. You can do this by registering on-line or asking a bike tour coordinator to set up an online account for you.
11. Garage Sale - Know all that stuff that's been hanging out in your garage...in your attic….in your basement? Gather it up and ask your friends to do the same. Put it in your front yard and sell, sell, sell! Put all the money raised toward your pledge minimum!
12. Bake Sale - Become Julia Child (and ask your friends to do the same) and host a bake sale. You can even have it in conjunction with your garage sale. It's a fact that people will buy more stuff on a full stomach!
13. House Party - This is a sure-fire way to fundraise. The MS Staff will be happy to give you some tidbits.
14. Extra Change In My Pocket Box - Create these little boxes for your friends and family and have them place it on their dressers. At the end of the day, they can drop that spare change in the box.
15. Start your own Extra Change Box - Keep a jar near your door and put all your extra coins in it everyday. It adds up. Or put it on your desk at work - others will join you.
16. Office Fundraising Challenge - Speak with everyone in your office and get them to challenge each other to raise the highest amount. Give the "winner" a prize. Maybe some movie passes? Gift certificate to dinner? Day off?
17. Answering Machine Message - Change the message on your cell phone or answering machine to mention your fund-raising campaign and participation in the MS 150. Let them know you need their help!!
18. Return Address Labels - Create return mailing address labels that read, "I'm raising donations to fight MS in the 2006 MS 150. Will you join me in the fight against MS?"
19. Bag groceries - Ask a local store if you can bag people's groceries for donations (you can have your kids, nieces or nephews do it for you). Let everyone know that donations benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
20. Solicit Tips - Ask your local bartender to donate a portion of one day's tips. Same goes for the waiters and waitresses. Ask them to donate tips from one night. You can create a sign for the bartender to place on the bar stating that "All tips collected tonight will go directly to "your name or team name". If the patrons see the sign they may be willing to dip a little deeper in their pocket!
21. Carry Copies of your Fundraising Letter in your purse - Have one with you at all times and pass them along to people you meet.
22. Ask local restaurants to place a money jar at the front of the restaurant - Check with the restaurant manager. They may be willing to place the jar in a high traffic area so lots of patrons can see it.
23. Happy Hour Party - Invite all of your friends (and their friends!) to a happy hour party. You can charge per head or just hold a raffle. (It can be cheap raffle items, bottles of wine, movie tics, etc.)
24. Theme Party/Dinner - Hold a theme party for 10 (or more) of your friends. Donation: $50 per person. Spend no more than $20 per person on the food and you'll have $300 (or more) in pledges by the end of the night.
25. Movie ticket donation - Ask your local movie house to donate several movie tickets. Sell them (or use them for raffle items) and put the money toward your pledges.
26. Local entertainment companies donate tickets - Raffle donated tickets to an upcoming event, such as a concert or play.
27. Birthday gift pledge - This is a very simple way to raise money and it'll be a lot easier for your friends and family to write you a check instead of spending hours trying to shop for you!
28. Delegate - Give 10 of your friends 10 pledge forms each and ask them to help raise money for you.
29. Creative Friends - Find a local artist or ask a creative friend if he/she would donate a piece of art or some jewelry that you can auction off.
30. House Warming Party - Are you moving soon? If so, ask your friends to make a pledge instead of purchasing a gift for your new place.
31. Color Pledge Forms - These can be very eye-catching. Send them in colored envelopes, too. These will stand out among friends' bills and stuff.
32. Signature Lines - Change the signature line of your outgoing e-mails to mention your involvement in the Bike Tour.

34. Doctor/Therapist/Dentist/Insurance Agent - Ask him/her to make a check out for you instead of the other way around!
35. Restaurant Nights - Ask your favorite restaurants about having give-back nights. You bring in customers (and prove it by giving our vouchers or flyers that they hand in with checks) and the restaurant donates a portion of the sales from those customers back to your fundraising account.
36. Penny Wars - Put out a jar for each department at your office. For every penny that is in there you have to subtract one point. For all silver coins you get one point. Do this for a week or so and reward the department with the highest total. Put all of the money toward your fundraising.
37. Chinese Auction - Ask friends and local businesses to donate items. Save them all and have one big Chinese auction. You can do this at a party that you hold or at your work.
38. Radio Station - Call your favorite radio station and ask them to make an announcement on the air (they may even interview you). Pledges can be sent directly to our office.
39. Gym - Ask your gym to place a Pledge Jar at the front desk! Leave a stack of pledge forms at the counter, too.

41. Hair Salon - Ask your barber or hairdresser to donate $2 from every haircut they complete over one weekend.
42. Picnics - National Holiday Picnics are a great place to raise some pledges!
43. Donate your services - Get your kids involved in this weekend activity. Have them perform a free service for donations, such as raking leaves or mowing lawns.
44. Neighbor - Write to all your neighbors on your block (or in your building). Attach a letter stating what you're training for and ask them to make a donation.
45. Good Karma Tipping Jar - Ask local businesses to put one of those jars near the register or on their front counter. Tape a picture of yourself on the jar and a short explanation of why you're raising money.
46. Car Wash - Hold a themed car wash and ask businesses to donate items. Get family and friends involved.
47. Meet the Press - Does your company distribute a newsletter? Does your company have interoffice email? Take advantage of these! It's a perfect way to get the word out.
48. Baby Sitting - Offer up your services and let your friends have a nice, quiet night out of the house!
49. House Sit - Friends going out of town for awhile? Maybe they need a warm body to stay in their place!

Wallace and his son were traveling home late one evening; he quickly pulled the car over to the shoulder of the road. He hated to admit it but he told Jerry that he was having a terrible time with his eyesight and it seemed that his eyes were failing. He just could not see clearly on the dark roadway. Jerry moved into the driver's seat and eased onto the four lane road, the headlights peering into the darkness. He hadn't driven far when he realized the problem wasn't his father's fading eyesight. The alternator on the car wasn't working properly and it was causing the lights to grow dim.
There are times when spiritually we do not see the meaning of a passage clearly and we need someone that better understands the Scriptures to help us see better. There is no reason to be ashamed. God often uses teachers to assist in explaining the Word but it is His Holy Spirit that enlightens our minds to better understand and apply the truths of His word to our lives.
Do you need someone to help you make better sense of what our world is coming to and what God's plans are for these end times? We have a number of courses on Eschatology (the doctrine of last things) available to you. One we would like to recommend this week is: course # 11500, Five Future Events by Dr. John Walvoord.
Dr. John Walvoord was Professor of Systematic Theology at Dallas Seminary for many years. He was also the second President of the Seminary. Dr. Walvoord was widely respected for conservative Biblical scholarship. He is now with the Lord.
Invite your friends to browse our Bible Institute courses and try out one that seems interesting or needful to them.

Selena Gomez is growing bolder with her epidermal etchings. Eight months after she first went under the needle to get a tiny musical note tattooed on her wrist, the starlet, 20, has permanently inscribed a new ink stain, this time on the back of her neck.
On Saturday, Selena stopped by a celebrity-friendly tattoo parlor in New York, where she had the Roman numerals LXXVI (that adds up to 76, for the math-impaired) imprinted just below her hairline.
The significance of the tat, which you can see here?
"The tattoo was a tribute to a family member who she said means a lot to her," explains tattoo artist Bang Bang (via the London Daily Mail). "Selena was nervous it might have been painful, so she held her best friend's hand the whole time. But she did a great job."
Bang Bang has permanently branded the famous skin of everyone from Rihanna to Katy Perry, although Gomez likely ended up tapping his needle skills on the recommendation of her marked-up boyfriend, Justin Bieber, whose "Believe" tattoo in the crook of his left arm is a Bang Bang original.
In between decorating her neck, Selena took part in Saturday's Global Citizen Festival in New York's Central Park, where, as a UNICEF ambassador, she helped raise awareness for wiping out poverty.

Consider the following facts to understand why I am saying this:
The first report on electoral reforms, the Goswami Committee report in 1990, said: "All these four decades, especially after 1967, the demand for electoral reforms has been mounting. But attempts so far made in this area did not touch even the fringe of the problem. They appeared to be abortive."
Next was the Indrajit Gupta Committee in 1998. The panel said, "What is needed, however, is an immediate overhauling of the electoral process whereby elections are freed from the evil influence of all vitiating factors, particularly, criminalisation of politics. It goes without saying that money power and muscle power go together to vitiate the electoral process and it is their combined effect which is sullying the purity of electoral contests and affecting free and fair elections."
In 1999, came the most comprehensive report on the subject till date, the 170th report of the Law Commission of India (Reform of the Electoral Laws) submitted by the 15th Law Commission. The National Commission to Review the Working of the Constitution, headed by Justice MN Venkatachaliah, gave its report on March 31, 2002. The report had a separate chapter titled 'Electoral Processes and Political Parties', and made 38 recommendations.
The Election Commission, too, has sent several recommendations to the government on the issue. In 1998, it said that a person against whom charges had been framed by a court for a criminal offence punishable with imprisonment of five years or more must be disqualified from contesting elections. This recommendation was repeated in 2004 but there has been no response from the government.
On December 9, 2010, former law minister Veerappa Moily and the then Chief Election Commissioner SY Quraishi, announced that seven regional and one national consultations would be conducted to evolve a national consensus on electoral reforms, and that would be followed by a comprehensive new legislation on it. Then seven regional consultations were conducted in 2011. These were to be followed by a national consultation for which time has not been found so far. There were also reports that a draft bill on electoral reforms had been prepared, and had been discussed by the law minister with the prime minister on more than one occasion. But during this time, the law minister has changed twice and there has been no known progress on electoral reforms.
The latest episode in this saga was the letter that outgoing Chief Election Commissioner SY Quraishi, wrote to the prime minister on April 13, 2012, before demitting office on June 10, 2012. Quraishi was personally involved in extensive and repeated discussions with Moily, before Salman Khurshid replaced the latter. Some excerpts from the letter, accessed by filing an RTI application, given below exemplify the frustration of those trying to improve the electoral system in the country.
"However, the quality of our elections often gets questioned on account of certain weaknesses in our electoral process. Commission's reform proposals have always aimed at addressing this predicament. Though certain minor reforms have been adopted by government and Parliament, the substantial ones have been actually left out allowing the allegations that politicians are not keen about the reforms because of their vested interest."
Now, we have Kumar saying that he has asked the Law Commission to submit yet another report. Will someone please ask him to look at the 170th report of the Law Commission submitted to one of his predecessors, Ram Jethmalani?

Thread: Charlotte.
July 29th, 2012 12:57 AM #1
I've been having troubles finding a full Charlotte combo that I can really love. I'm not entirely certain this one (Charlotte Emilia Rue) is the one, either, but I keep coming back to it, and I love that it'd honor my love of Shakespeare (Emilia from The Comedy of Errors), my mom, my baby sister, my paternal grandmother, and my maternal great-grandmother. Besides, it feels very dainty, sweet, and classic to me, which I love. I think it fits with a lot of my other combos much better than my old combo (Charlotte Eden Rue) did, too.
I guess what's holding me back is that I'm not entirely sure it fits "me" (even though I feel like individually all three names are very much my style and I really would love to use all three some day), like I think it's a great combo in general, but I'm not sure I can imagine using it, if that makes sense. Probably not, lol.
Anyway, wdyt of it? Any other ideas that you think might suit my style? I seem to have been liking "E" names with Charlotte, but you certainly don't have to stick to that if you make suggestions.
ETA: I've come up with 10-15 combos I really like for Charlotte... I figured I would updated it in the OP, too, so everyone would see it. WDYT of them?
Charlotte Emilia
Charlotte Olive
Charlotte Elisa
Charlotte Ivy
Charlotte Oceana
Charlotte Zosia
Charlotte Flora
Charlotte Fiona
Charlotte Lily
Charlotte Lilia
Charlotte Ella
Charlotte Winter
Charlotte Lydia
The second MN, in most cases, would be Rue.

I LOVE the sound of Charlotte Eden Rue. Actually, I really like Charlotte Eden by itself. I think that Charlotte Eden Rue sounds dainty, sweet, gentle, classic, fanciful, and even a little dreamy. It has that "Lost Flower Children" (name of a book) vibe from it. I guess it could be described as 'gently feminine'? It brings up images of willow trees swaying in a breeze.
Putting aside my love for Charlotte Eden Rue, Charlotte Emilia Rue is lovely, not only because of the sound, but of all the references it has. However, it does fit with your other combos a little more than Charlotte Eden Rue.
Looking up Shakespearean names and combining them with Charlotte and Rue gave me:
Charlotte Katherina Rue
Charlotte Viola Rue
Charlotte Helena Rue
Charlotte Paulina Rue
Charlotte Hermione Rue
Charlotte Celia Rue
Charlotte Beatrice Rue
Charlotte Audrey Rue
Charlotte Nerissa Rue
Charlotte Marina Rue
Charlotte Valeria Rue~inside this teenberry's mind ~~Please vote on constantly changing middle name possibilities (updated 11/27/13)
Feel free to comment and suggest!

@tay2thestars, continuing the Shakespeare idea was great. However, I'm really picky about Charlotte, and I'd still want to use a name that I loved the character AND the play she was in. So. I'm really picky about literary names, haha! I loved Helena, but I just don't love it with Charlotte. Not between Charlotte and Rue, anyway. I still do like Eden, and I love its religious significance to me, but I just don't love the combo as much as I love the other 9 combos on my list. :/ If I can't find anything I like better, I'll probably keep it, but right now it doesn't look like it's going to last.
I spent some time actually hunting down some combo options, and I came up with about 15 that I really love. I wish I could narrow it down some more, but I can't seem to let any of them go yet. Anyway, thoughts on these, anybody?
Charlotte Emilia Rue
Charlotte Elisa Rue
Charlotte Olive Rue
Charlotte Ivy Jane (Ivy honors the same person as Rue, so I'd probably just go with Jane for the second MN)
Charlotte Oceana Rue
Charlotte Zosia Rue? (I'd like to keep Rue, but I'm not sure of it with Charlotte Zinnia...)
Charlotte Winter Rue
Charlotte Flora (Not sure I could make this work, but I would really love to. My best friend passed away last December, and her family nickname was Fleurette. Everything flowers meant a lot to both her and my mom, so it is really meaningful. I really don't like any of my family names with it, though)
Charlotte Lilia Rue/Noelle
Charlotte Lily Rue/Noelle
Charlotte Fiona (eh, in the same boat as Flora for Fiona. I really like Charlotte Fiona, but not really any of my family names with it)
Charlotte Ella Rue (although I'm a bit worried that it sounds like Charlotte Belarus... not really bad, just kind of weird, haha)
Charlotte Lydia (not sure I really like Rue or Noelle here, either. I was thinking maybe Charlotte Lydia Claire instead?)
Thanks, ladies!Lise

I think Oceana is wonderful, although I don't particularly like it with Charlotte. Charlotte Fiona Rue and Charlotte Lydia Rue are my favorites from the combos you listed. For a wild card, what about Charlotte Emilia Winter? I really like Winter in the middle spot, but as a second middle name. Charlotte Fiona Winter or Charlotte Lydia Winter would be lovely as well.

Has Moonbeam ever paid all the bills he ran up last time he ran for President? He put a bunch of small companies out of business.
Cue laugh track. But compared to what we have now? The bar has been lowered all the way to Hell. Where Americans now reside.
Great Bob Kerrey can retell his famous lesbian joke. The moron who almost single handedly wiped out agriculture in California to follow up Obama. It´s perfect. There´s a reason he´s never gotten his housekeeper pregnant.
all those years ago they were promising flashbacks, little did I know it would be the brown acid...
I guess I don´t know about the lesbian joke or if the joke was in the posting I didn´t get it.
Hey, why not? He can do to our nation what he and his pals did to California!Sigh.
#5 it´s an old bad joke about Jerry Brown entering a bar and trying to hit on two women who were lesbians. Kerrey told it to Clinton and was overheard pretty much ending his presidential run.
FTA: "(Plus, like FDR, Brown has a smart wife and a cute dog. "Tempting, but we won´t go there.
I Guarantee that Brown would carry CA, IL, MA, MD, CT, VT, NH, DC, MI, PA, NJ, NY, MA, OR, WA, WI, MN and HI. In-fact, I´m pretty sure that Stalin, PolPot, Mao, Chavez, Mussolini, Castro etc could carry those states without ever campaigning.All the democrats have to do is pick a candidate that pick off Ohio and Florida.
I thought Brown was already showing some signs of dementia... Sure, even an anencephalic Democrat could take MA, HI, IL, MI, PA, NY, NJ, ME, WI, CA, OR, WA, DC, and several other states as well, at least as long as intellectual and moral torpor and sludge rule the day. Proved it in November. Either repeal the 22nd Amendment and make Obama president for life, or run Brown. Here would be a nice ticket for 2016, in case the attack on the 22nd Amendment fails: Brown-Stabenow.
Oh, be serious. This old **** is a doddering fool. Has mesmerized himself into thinking he´s fixed our budget. Ha!Only a stupid Dem would think he´d be a possible for president. Yeah, right, he and Plugs could duke it out.
California is circling the porcelain fixture. Unemployment is much higher than the national average. Brown´s tax hike will not bring near the revenue he thinks it will, and businesses are abandoning ship as fast as the lifeboats can be lowered.One great thing Brown accomplished, though - nobody can legally try to talk you out of being gay!
I worked for Meg Whitman, but Brown has not been nearly as bad as I expected. If he can pull off getting CA back in the black by next year like his budget has "forecasted" (*cough*)...we´ll see.I was never an Arnold voter - once an asshat, always an asshat, just like Lance Armstrong. I´m actually not glad to be proven right on that one.
The only good thing about Brown running for Pres is he would be out of CA!
I thought this was a gag story at first and kept waiting for the punchline and it turns out this nut is serious.The real sub story here is tax increases magically fix fiscal problems no matter how bad.To this writer,Brown getting elected and passing a huge tax increase would be the elixir this country needs.Brown´s an honest liberal (oxymoron) but he would have some predictability unlike Lucifer in the WH right now.The guy that really scares me is the Mayor of LA,who could easily be a reduex of Obama.
Oh gawd...no comment! Signed, A drowning Californian who already went down the drain.

it is ugly but if you want something original/different your not likely to find anyone else with a sea shell case.
NAHMYGAWD SWEET LAWD KILL IT WITH FIRE! Seriously. Ugly case. To each his own yeah but... well I guess its cool for French people, red glow reminds me of roasted snails. Now seriously. For its price I guess its alright, I was expecting somewhat along the lines of 500-700 bucks. Those who like the design I'd say its neat. But it seems more form than function to me.
reminds me off the original one i have sitting in my basement, It's HUGE but you get alot of room. PC-777b They should have kept all the usb,audio jacks on top. imo http://www.kenyada.com/lianlicvr.jpg
Whatever it is, I'll take 2 On topic: You must admit, as ugly as some may think it is, it is original
You know I think I like it! It is simple and original..... Plus it doesn't have 17 tons of plastic shit hanging off of it. Everything that has come out lately by most of the big manufacturers Like Cooler master/ NZXT/ Thermaltake/ In-Win/ EXC..... Has had so much plastic shit hung off of it to make it look better it's tuberculous. None of those companies listed above ever would take a chance on something like this. All they do is release the same case over and over and then hange more crap off of it to make it look a little different and then sell it as something else.
Maybe if I was underwater in the dark 40 feet away with one eyeclosed upside down with my head rotated 20 degrees .......nope .....still don't help. Oh I know paint it all pink and add a Barbie. Keyboard and boom. There it is I can see this casze now
At least one thing I like about the case are the rubber grommets around the cable management holes. I hope they adapt these into their entire line.
You put your ear up to it and instead of hearing the ocean, you hear all that money going down the toilet.
Cool a snail shell, make a nice lawn ornament or something, or you could gut it and put a blower fan in there and use it in the garage or something I am still waiting for my PC-7fwn, somewhere on the boat apparently.

You're a people person, excited to collaborate with and learn from our product and sales teams. You bring your creativity to the office and can devise crazy guerrilla tactics we would have never imagined possible without you. You live and breathe marketing.
In the past we've marketed MAZ without a designated point person, so our marketing department will be your personal proving ground. Think of it as being the boss of your own one-(wo)man marketing team, with plenty of say in how to fill out your ranks when the time comes.

A knowledge of and appreciation for the iOS ecosystem is a must, as is already having contributed to other apps that are live on the App Store.

Critical Essays
Analysis: The Good Soldier vejk
Jaroslav Haek's The Good Soldier vejk had its genesis in 1911, the time of the publication of the first of his vejk stories; in a broader sense, his preparation for the work included his whole conscious life. One way to look at his masterpiece is to see it as a compendium of almost three hundred stories told by vejk and other characters.
The type of story that one finds in the novel is usually likened to a "pub story" (die Gasthausgeschichte). It is of anecdotal construction and is often produced as an illustration of some thought, as support for some opinion, or, apologetically, as justification of a certain kind of behavior. There is, however, one important modification in Haek's story that sets it apart from a common anecdote. A successful anecdote is characterized by a construction in which the "story" moves swiftly toward its "point," with minimal hindrance and no digressions. Not so with Haek's tale—in this story, it is the digression, the often irrelevant detail, the play on words, the humorous inventiveness that is characteristic.
The fact that the novel is a collection of so many stories has no effect on its unity. Most of the stories come from the main character, vejk, and they always serve to illustrate a particular point of the main and rather skeletal plot. The plot itself can be summarized briefly: Josef vejk, who has been making a living by selling dogs whose pedigrees he often forged and...

Sydney Harbour Bridge
Last Updated: 7th Jun 2012
The Sydney Harbour Bridge is one of Australia's most well known and photographed landmarks. It is the world's largest (but not the longest) steel arch bridge with the top of the bridge standing 134 meters (440 feet) above Sydney Harbour.
Fondly known by the locals as 'The Coathanger', the Sydney Harbour Bridge celebrated its 75th birthday in 2007, after its official opening in March 1932. One of the great icons of the city and the country, its running mate, the Sydney Opera House is also nearby.
As early as 1815 there were proposals to bridge the gap between the northern and southern shores of the harbour, however it wasn't until after the First World War that more serious plans were made. The New South Wales Department of Public Works in 1922 ran a competition for the design and construction of the bridge, eventually won by an English company.
The Bridge was begun in 1924 and took 1400 men eight years to build. Six million hand driven rivets and 53,000 tonnes of steel were used in its construction and it now carries eight traffic lanes and two rail lines.
The Tyne Bridge in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England is a much smaller version of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and there is traditionally much controversy surrounding the two bridges and which one may have been a model for the other. The Tyne Bridge opened in 1928 (4 years before the Sydney bridge was finished in 1932) but the plans were submitted for the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1924.
The Bridge Climb
The BridgeClimb is fantastic and one of the 'must do's' while on a trip to Sydney. Testament to this is that even royals and celebrities, such as Prince Frederik and Princess Mary of Denmark, Matt Damon, Hugo Weaving and Kylie Minogue all having done the Climb.
BridgeClimb started in 1998 and attracts tourists and locals alike to climb the monument. After climbing through catwalks and up ladders and stairs, the view is absolutely breathtaking. There are day, twilight and night climbs and a group of twelve will leave for a climb every ten minutes. The safety precautions taken include a blood alcohol reading and a Climb Simulator, which shows Climbers the climbing conditions that might be experienced on the Bridge.
The BridgeClimb is offered as an optional excursion on many Contiki Tours visiting Sydney.
The Pylon Lookout
The Pylon Lookout is at the southern eastern end of the Bridge (The Rocks end) and visitors can go and see an exhibition about the Bridge and well as see the spectacular 360 degree view from the top of the pylon.
The Sydney Harbour Tunnel
The Bridge eventually became so busy that is was decided to build a tunnel under the harbour and the Harbour Tunnel was opened in 1992 . It is 2.3 kilometers (1.4 miles) long and cost $554 AUS million to construct.

Christmas is just days away and there are angels who haven't been picked off the tree.
141 angels remain without gifts this Christmas. Salvation Army volunteers are shopping for them, but it's draining the organization's funds. "We have already purchased an additional $3,000 worth of toys and clothing items," said Captain Joe Irvin. That's on top of the $5,000 they already spent.
The number of unclaimed angels has tripled since 2012 in Bristol alone. "The only thing I can think of is the economy," said Irvin.
But no matter the reason, the Salvation Army is doing everything they can to help. Irvin said, "Everyone gets something. Not just something, we make sure it is a nice Christmas.
Wednesday is distribution day. "Moms and dads will come from all over the Bristol area get their angels their gifts take them home and wrap them and prepare to have a nice Christmas," Irvin said.
The Salvation Army's warehouse is full of gifts, but there is still not enough. They say they will gladly accept donations through Tuesday in hopes of getting every angel adopted, and helping to make sure they don't clean out their emergency funds.

Hoover, AL (Sports Network) - A second-half goal from Nikita Kotlov was enough to lift Indiana to a 1-0 win over Georgetown in the final of the NCAA Men's College Cup on Sunday at Regions Park.
A cautious first half that produced few scoring chances was followed by Kotlov's goal in the 64th minute, which saw Patrick Doody deliver a cross from the left wing to the back post for Eriq Zavaleta, who nodded the ball down for Kotlov to drive into the net.
After scoring four goals against Maryland in the semifinals on Friday, Georgetown's attack struggled, but the Hoyas had one final chance to equalize in the 89th minute when Ian Christianson's looping header struck the crossbar.
The Hoosiers survived that threat and were able to see off the rest of the match to claim their eighth national championship.
