Have your DH tell her no. He doesn't think it should happen, anyway, and she's his sister. Besides, she just wants to use you for free childcare (as evidenced by the $20 you saw after several weeks). You know that if you do this, then you are going to end up dealing with him all day and not able to devote the time you want to your LO's. Do what's best for your family, not what your SIL wants for free.posted 01/23/2013 by Fearless Leader
You're pregnant. With one toddler to deal with already. Nuff said. Tell her you just don't feel up to it physically. No is an entire answer. It doesn't require an explanation really. If you choose to give one, and the person doesn't accept your 'No' and continues to try to convince or guilt you, they are trying to manipulate you. So I wouldn't feel too bad about telling her 'No' more forcefully. If her child is that bad, the apple likely doesn't fall far from the tree unfortunately. It's your DHs sister. Maybe he needs to talk to her and tell her no...posted 01/19/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
i did end up telling her no, thank you all for letting me kno that im not mean for not wanting to take care of him. shes putting him in daycare, hopefully the daycare will fill her in on his behavior and open her eyes!posted 03/08/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
This has fail written all over it. Your priority should be your kids, not hers. Please say no for the sake of your sanity. Terrible, terrible idea.posted 01/19/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
Yeah, definitely sounds like you have tried. Poor girl, im sorry. I guess the best way, would be like I said before.... After much consideration, its just not what's best for your family. I know its tough, but if she is going to have a problem with you putting your family first, then there is a serious issue with her. Let me know how it goes. Best of luck!!!posted 01/17/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
i did consider all that and i have babysat him for awhile before and really did try to instill discipline in his life. (btw is my husbands sisters son) i kid you not this kid is just awful, and i rly hate to sy tha about any kid, but he really is. even when i told my DH that his sis wants me to watch the boy he said "nah ah" she would be paying me, but when i had watched him for awhile months ago she had said the same thing and i saw nmaybe $20 after i had been watchng him weeks on end... i am just so terrible at saying no, and especially at telling someone that their kid is a handful.lolposted 01/17/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
but.... if you don't care about all that and don't want to mess with it, just simply tell her: after much thought, we have decided we don't feel like it would be in the best interest of our family right now. wish i could help... sorry.posted 01/15/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
if she is paying you, you are helping to bring in income to the family. and this would give you a great opportunity to help instill precious most needed discipline into his life. you will have such an opportunity to help teach him and help him develop into such a great kid. your impact could be so defining in his life. change his future even. besides, wouldn't you want what is best for your brother's child? it would be difficult at first. for the first week. but after consistency and discipline, it could really be a joy and a great experience. i would give her a 2-3 week trial. explain to her your concerns. and if for any reason, you choose not to do it, she will just need to understand it is not in YOUR families best interest. which is most important to you. if she isn't paying you, figure out something. you don't want her taking advantage of you. but i highly recommend you to watch him. it doesn't sound like he gets much discipline at home and he really really needs itposted 01/15/2013 by a BabyCenter Member

Portland metro area unemployment rates for April 2012
Skamania County: 10.4
Columbia County: 9.4
Clark County: 9.0
Oregon: 8.5
Washington: 8.2
Clackamas County: 7.7
United States: 7.7
Multnomah County: 7.5
Washington County: 6.9
Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics
Employers in Washington state added a net 53,400 jobs in the 12 months through May, the state Employment Security Department said Wednesday. However, the state's estimated unemployment rate rose slightly to 8.3 percent, primarily because more jobless people returned to the labor market to hunt for a job, according to Anneliese Vance-Sherman, a state economist.
The jobless rate is calculated by dividing the estimated number of unemployed people who have looked for work within the past four weeks by the total civilian labor force.
Portland metro area unemployment rates for April 2012
Skamania County: 10.4
Columbia County: 9.4
Clark County: 9.0
Oregon: 8.5
Washington: 8.2
Clackamas County: 7.7
United States: 7.7
Multnomah County: 7.5
Washington County: 6.9
Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics
"In this case, the higher unemployment rate could be a sign that people are feeling more optimistic about their chances of finding a job," Vance-Sherman said in a news release.
Still, the U.S. job market showed weakness in May, and the number of long-term unemployed people in the nation rose to 5.4 million that month.
In Washington state, the 8.3 percent jobless rate in May was up from April's revised rate of 8.2 percent. In March, unemployment was 8.3 percent. In May 2011, it was 9.3 percent. In January 2009, the state's jobless rate was 7.7 percent.
Overall, from May 2011 to May of this year, 10 employment sectors in Washington grew, two receded and one saw no change.
In the private sector, employers added 59,400 jobs. Public-sector employers, however, cut 6,000 jobs, leaving a net gain of 53,400 jobs year over year.
"Government continues to lead all sectors in annual job losses," according to the state Employment Security Department.
State and local government sectors each shed 2,400 jobs, and federal government employers slashed 1,200 jobs.
Trade, transportation and utilities led all sectors in annual job growth, fattening payrolls by 18,800 jobs. Professional and business services added an estimated 13,400 jobs. Manufacturing swelled by 12,000 jobs, with the aerospace industry accounting for 8,100 of those positions. Other sectors that experienced strong job growth were education and health services (up 5,600 jobs), and leisure and hospitality (up 5,500 jobs).
In May, an estimated 292,600 people in Washington were unemployed and looking for work. Clark County's labor market results for May are slated to be released June 19.
In April, Clark County got the first good labor-market news since the financial crash of the late 2000s.
It saw nearly across-the-board job gains that month and added 1,800 jobs in the 12 months through April. Its preliminary unemployment rate that month was 9 percent.
Also in April, all counties in the larger Portland metro region posted lower jobless rates than in the previous two years, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Washington County, Ore., reported the lowest unemployment rate at 6.9 percent, while Skamania County had the highest at 10.4 percent.
Clark County had the largest unemployment rate decline from April 2011 to April of this year, shaving 4.1 percentage points and posting a preliminary rate of 9 percent.
However, the U.S. job market was sluggish in May as employers added a mere 69,000 jobs and as the nation's unemployment remained essentially unchanged at 8.2 percent.
"Employment increased in health care, transportation and warehousing, and wholesale trade but declined in construction," according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. "Employment was little changed in most other major industries."
Meanwhile, the number of long-term unemployed people in the U.S. (those who've been jobless for at least 27 weeks) rose from 5.1 million to 5.4 million in May.

Curly Cone gets new owners, new life Curly Cone gets new owners, new life
Old ice cream stands can get new life.
Edi Lopez and his sister, Rosy Lopez, bought the former Curly Cone, 917 W. Beardsley Ave., Elkhart. After some rehabilitation, they opened the stand Saturday, Aug. 10, as Eddy & Rosy's Ice Cream Shop.
The stand opened decades ago and was a favorite neighborhood spot.
It doesn't have a tenderloin sandwich on the new menu. But you can get tacos or quesadillas, in addition to sundaes, shakes and cones.
The soft-serve can be flavored with something called Flavor Burst. So you can get rum-flavored ice cream and Blue Moon, that Midwestern flavor that tastes like Fruit Loops, cotton candy or other things, depending whom you ask.
The stand hadn't reopened for the season in 2008 and sat empty since. But Edi Lopez remodeled it when he wasn't working full-time as a welder. Rosy has worked at Olive Garden and 523 Tap & Grill.
They have their own business now. Rosy said nearly every customer is telling them how happy they are the stand is open again.
Hours were 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week, but Rosy said they'd be switching to 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Phone: 574-294-8666
The annual Taste of the Gardenwill showcase some of Elkhart's restaurants this coming Saturday.
The event from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Wellfield Botanic Gardens, 1011 N. Main St., Elkhart, features restaurants serving in an outdoor setting. Music and art will be part of the event too, but the food is the focus for many (including me).
A list from the organizers indicates that 17 restaurants will be at the event, serving items costing $1 to $6.
The Elkhart restaurants on the list are 523 Tap & Grill, Texas Roadhouse, b on the River, Christiana Creek Country Club, Great Wall, McCarthy's on the Riverwalk, Baker's Nook Cafe, SugaRush Desserts, Between the Buns, Chubby Trout, Flippin' Cow and Mod Mex. Iechyd Da Brewing Co. will also be serving its beer.
Honey's Frozen Yogurt and Rolling Scones from Goshen will participate, as will Dickie's at Swan Lake Resort, Plymouth.
I'll put more information about the proposed menu on the blog this week at blogs.etruth.com/diningalaking.
The paper is off the windows at Noodle Heads, the new restaurant in Goshen. You can see a restaurant inside now.
The Asian noodle bar at 127 S. Main St. has been in the works for a while and could open as early as this week. Stay tuned.
Mattern's Countryside Meats LLC is operating the Mattern's Event Center at Coppes Commons.
The former furniture factory at 401 E. Market St., Nappanee, has a number of businesses, but also has rooms that seat up to 250 and 350, according to information from the Matterns.
Bill Mattern and his family also operate Mattern's Butcher Shop & Corner Deli, 201 S. Main St., Goshen.
Sports Time Family Pub & Grill, 56199 Parkway Ave., Elkhart, is having a benefit for Sarah Crane on Saturday, Aug. 24.
Owner Cristy Eldridge said the Pack the Place Purple event will give the Crane family 15 percent of all sales, as well as donations people make, from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday.
Reservations can be made at 574-970-5940
Crane has stage four colon cancer.
Come to the Table raised $73,500 for Family Christian Development Center. Chefs from Nappanee, Warsaw and surrounding areas fed 310 people at the event on Aug. 10. This was the second annual event for the agency that provides food, clothing and other resources to people in need.
The courses I got to taste were nicely done.
The agency is growing and the fundraiser helps provide funding. Mayor Larry Thompson praised the food, according to a press release from the agency. "FCDC can be proud of this event," he said.
Look for news this week on a collaboration between SugaRush and b on the River. The two Elkhart restaurants are on the brink of a big announcement, according to Liz Naquin Borger. I'll have details on the blog when they're available.
Marshall V. King is managing editor and food columnist for The Elkhart Truth. You can reach him at firstname.lastname@example.com, 574-296-5805 or via Twitter, Instagram or Facebook. His favorite food is currently BLTs.

Having children seems like it would raise your risk of getting sick, doesn't it?
Think for a minute about kids and all the gross stuff that they do until they're old enough to know better.
They touch all sorts of dirty objects and then stick their fingers into their mouths…they wipe their noses with their wrists…they eat food after it hits the ground…just to name a few unhealthy behaviors.
And then they touch you all over, cough into your face and sneeze on your food.
That's why a lot of people think that parents get sick more often than other adults.
But a new study, surprisingly, shows exactly the opposite.
The research found that parents of children of any age are, on average, less likely to catch colds when they're exposed to the viruses that cause them, compared with nonparents.
In the study, parents and nonparents ranging in age from 18 to 55 were first screened for general health. Anyone who was sick was excluded. Remaining participants were given nasal drops that contained a cold virus. Over the following week, researchers took nasal cultures and examined symptoms for signs of infection.
The researchers discovered…
- Parents of children of any age were, on average, about half as likely to catch colds as nonparents. .
- In fact, parents of three or more kids of any age had an even lower chance of becoming sick—a 39% chance—than parents of just one or two kids (who had a 52% chance).
In case you're wondering, there were no differences found between mothers and fathers. And these associations were independent of race, body mass index, gender and employment or marital status.
Now, I realize that if you're childless, you're not going to suddenly start planning a family because of this news, but these are certainly surprising stats, aren't they?
Interestingly, parents in one particular subset weren't any more protected from colds than nonparents. The study found that younger parents (those ages 18 to 23), on average, didn't have as much protection from colds as older parents (those age 24 to 55). Younger parents were just as likely to catch colds as nonparents of the same age, on average.
You might be thinking, like I did, that it could be because young parents likely have young kids. And perhaps these young parents don't yet have immune systems that are diverse enough to combat all the new germs that their young kiddies are dragging into the house.
It's hard to know for sure, because one limitation of the study is that the researchers didn't measure the ages of the children of the participants—only the participants' ages. But researchers did reveal a finding that pokes a hole in my theory. Parents of any age who had relatively low antibody levels before exposure to the virus (and therefore, lower immunity to the virus) were still less likely to get colds, compared with nonparents of any age who had relatively low antibody levels.
Lead author of the study, Rodlescia Sneed, MPH, PhD student, added that although only cold viruses were studied, the immune system generally responds in a similar way to most infections. Therefore, the growing immunity to cold viruses that parenthood appears to provide may also hold true for other viral infections and other types of diseases.
So in case you needed another reason to hug your children, go give them a squeeze and thank them for helping to keep you healthy!

Aprons and Smocks' Work and Tool aprons are designed for the tough job. They're reinforced at all stress points and are out of fabric that performs for the task. These aprons are available in several styles and colors to fit the task at hand and the worker performing the task:

The Rangers' .627 winning percentage ranks second, trailing Detroit (.698%, 41-16-6) and ahead of Montreal (.617%, 68-40-12), Toronto (.512%, 53-50-18), Boston (.504%, 53-52-18), and Chicago (.477%, 27-30-9).
The Rangers finished their season-opening seven-game road trip with a 3-2-2 mark. The trip set a new franchise record for longest stretch away from Madison Square Garden to begin a season, breaking the old record of five games set in 1952-53 and 1953-54. It was only the seventh time in franchise history that the Rangers had a road trip of seven games or longer at any point in the season – 1955-56 (4-4-1-0), 1959-60 (1-5-1-0), 1981-82 (5-1-2-0), 1984-85 (0-6-1-0), 1987-88 (4-2-1-0), and 1997-98 (2-3-2-0) – and the third time they posted a winning record on such a trip (1981-82, 1987-88). The Blueshirts will open their home schedule tomorrow vs. Toronto, their latest home opener since they opened the 1948-49 season on Oct. 27, 1948 (excluding the lockout-shortened 1994-95 season).
New York completed their four-game Western Canada road trip with a 3-1-0 record. The Rangers began the trip by defeating Vancouver (4-0) and Calgary (3-2, OT), marking the first time the team has won in those two cities in the same season since 1986-87. On Monday, the Blueshirts visited Winnipeg for the first time since they faced the former Winnipeg Jets franchise on Nov. 17, 1995 (3-6). New York came away with a 2-1 victory, marking the first time they won in Winnipeg since Nov. 21, 1992 (5-4).
Defenseman Dan Girardi enters tonight's contest leading the NHL in average ice time, logging 28:13 per contest. He has logged 30:00+ of ice time twice this season, including a season-high 31:25 of ice time on Oct. 8 against Anaheim in Stockholm, Sweden.
The Rangers had three players make their Rangers debut in the team's season opener on Oct. 7 against the Kings – Tim Erixon (NHL debut), Brad Richards (one assist) and Mike Rupp. In addition, defenseman Jeff Woywitka made his Rangers debut on Oct. 15 at Long Island, while defenseman Brendan Bell made his Blueshirts debut on Saturday at Edmonton.
The Rangers are currently 13 wins shy of 2,500 wins, having won 2,487 games all-time in franchise history.

Authentic product! I was very worried when I ordered after reading numerous reviews all over the internet. I have various authentic Creed scents that I have purchased from retail stores and the Creed boutique and this one was no different! I even did a check against every element of the bottle and the package and no differences found. The scent smells amazing too, I love the freshness early but not overpowering which turns into more of a ginger/tobacco scent after a few hours.
Only bad thing about this experience was that it took 10 days for it to leave the FragranceX warehouse even though it said it was ready to ship! Once it was away with DHL it was very quick to arrive.

I personally witnessed the "soul" of the country in 2007 while traveling with Nunn and Sen. Dick Lugar.
INDIANAPOLIS As day slipped into night during the cruel winter of 2014, millions of Americans watched the mesmerizing closing ceremony of the Sochi Olympics.
This was a stunning facade of the Russian Federation, particularly its tribute to writers, with their portraits rising up from the floor . . . Leo Tolstoy, Anton Chekov, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and, amazingly, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, the author who revealed the epic cruelty of gulags of the Soviet Stalin era. Eighteen days prior in the Sochi opening ceremony, America and the world would witness a national self-interpretation of Russian history, with the classics and its Czarist monarchy giving way to the red, mechanized Soviet period as gears rolled by and Stalinist busts floated with hammers and sickles above.
NBC had brought in Vladimir Pozner, the Russian TV commentator who would explain the perplexing giant to the East. "It's a land many, many people have had problems understanding," Pozner said observed.
When it was all over, the Sochi bear mascot blew out the Olympic flame and a tear rolled down its cheek. Looking on was Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Putin presided over his glory at Sochi, while 500 miles to the northwest Kiev rioted and the Ukrainian government fled after massacring 80 people. The final Olympic weekend had been a juxtaposition of epic state craft propaganda while in Kiev, dissidents advanced beyond barricades as Yanukovich's troops fired into the crowd before he fled.
It was easy to sense that within hours after this closing ceremony, a new chapter in Russian history was about to be written. By the end of the week, Putin had ordered an invasion of the Crimean peninsula. There will be a referendum there where people are expected to vote to join Russia. At this writing, Russian troops are massing on Ukraine's border.
One of the Russian writers not represented at the closing ceremony was Anna Politkovskaya, author of the 2004 book "Putin's Russia: Life in a Failing Democracy." Politkoskaya was not present in Sochi because she was murdered in the elevator of her Moscow apartment building. The case has never been solved.
But Politkovskaya's insights into the "soul" of Putin are relevant today. It's a different take than that of President George W. Bush who observed in 2001, "I looked the man in the eye. I was able to get a sense of his soul, a man deeply committed to his country and the best interests of his country."
Politkovskaya observed: "Meeting no resistance, Putin naturally became bolder.
"He is not a born tyrant and despot; rather, he has been accustomed to think along the lines inculcated in him by the KGB, an organization he considers a model, as he has stated more than once. In Russia, we have had leaders with this outlook before. It led to tragedy, to bloodshed on a vast scale, to civil wars."
For Russia, the response to Ukraine was a knee-jerk after decades of watching NATO advance into the Baltics, Poland and now what was once the Soviet Union.
But the world is rapidly changing. The U.S. is becoming an energy exporter. Want to hurt Putin in the pocket book? Produce enough to bring down gas and oil prices. Reconsider the missile defense shield that the Russians fear because it will greatly escalate their defense costs.
"We're going to see in the next few months whether this is going to be a source of friction for decades to come," former U.S. Sen. Sam Nunn said at the University of Indianapolis just hours before Putin moved into the Crimea.
Putin's Russia has its many facades. People can come and go and not as many millions have been consigned to the gulags. But I personally witnessed the "soul" of the country in 2007 while traveling with Nunn and Sen. Dick Lugar. When I returned to my Moscow Grand Marriott room, I found my papers and notes scattered about. My departure from Yekaterinburg to Odessa was briefly held up when no one could seem to find my passport.
I remember quietly fretting as the rest of the delegation had moved into boarding. I could see Nunn and Lugar arriving. The Naval and Embassy officials were all on their phones. Finally the passport turned up. I quickly got on the flight. Once in the air, I turned to Lugar aide Kenny Myers Jr., and asked, "What the hell was that all about?"
"They probably just wanted to take one more look at you," he said. That night in the Londonskaya Hotel bar in Odessa, the place was teeming with shadowy figures (the Nunn/Lugar delegation had arrived in town with a police escort). Perhaps the paranoia was settling in. The guy at the other end of the L-shaped bar smoked a cigarette and was watching every time I glanced up.
The Black Sea is a mysterious and suspicious neighborhood. The day before we arrived in Odessa, the Cossacks were demonstrating about a Catherine the Great statue in town. Seven years later, they were whipping Pussy Riot in Sochi.
This is Putin's Russia and now it's potentially Putin's Ukraine.

|The internal anatomy of the human vulva, with the clitoral hood and labia minora indicated as lines. The clitoris extends from the visible portion to a point below the pubic bone.
|subject #270 1266
|dorsal artery of clitoris, deep artery of clitoris
|superficial dorsal veins of clitoris, deep dorsal vein of clitoris
|dorsal nerve of clitoris
|Genital tubercle
The clitoris is a sexual organ that is present in female mammals. In humans, the visible button-like portion is located near the anterior junction of the labia minora, above the opening of the urethra and vagina. Unlike the penis, which is homologous to the clitoris, the clitoris does not contain the distal portion of the urethra and functions solely to induce sexual pleasure. The only known exception to this is in the Spotted Hyena. In this species, the urogenital system is unique in that the female urinates, mates and gives birth via an enlarged, erectile clitoris, known as a pseudo-penis.[1]
The word is
ɪs/ (listen)
/kl ɪ��tɔər ɪs/ (listen).
The plural forms are clitorises in English and
clitorides in Latin. In slang, it is sometimes abbreviated
as clit, which originated in the 1960s. The
OED suggests that the pronunciation
/ˈklaɪtɒr ɪs/) is also used in the
UK, and gives the likely etymology as coming from the Greek
κλειτορἰς, perhaps
derived from the verb
κλεἰ-ειν, to shut. The
Online Etymology Dictionary maintains that the etymology of
this diminutive is still uncertain noting that many sources take
kleitoris "Κλειτορίδ"
literally from the Greek "little hill". Other etymological
candidates are key or latch, to touch or titillate lasciviously,
to tickle, to be inclined (toward pleasure) and slope, from the
same root as climax. It has been noted in German as der
Kitzler meaning "the tickler". Its Latin
genitive is clitoridis, as in "glans
At the time of development of the urinary and reproductive organs in embryogenesis the previously undifferentiated genital tubercle develops into the clitoris or the penis, along with all other major organ systems, making them homologous. [2]
The head or glans of the clitoris is a simple bundle of 8000 nerve fibers, estimated to be twice the number found in the penis [3]making it particularly well-suited for sexual stimulation.
The clitoris is a complex structure that includes the external and internal components. Visible to the eye is the clitoral hood (prepuce), which in full or part covers the head (clitoral glans), shaft and inner lips (labia minora). Inside the body are the legs or clitoral crura, urethral sponge, clitoral bulb (previously referred to as vestibule bulb) and corpora, perineal sponge, a network of nerves and blood vessels, suspensory ligaments, muscles and pelvic diaphragm.[2] The clitoris extends from the front commissure where the edges of the outer lips (labia majora) meet at the base of the pubic mound to the fourchette.[4] In humans, the clitoral shaft then extends several centimeters upwards and to the back, before splitting into the two legs, and shaped like an inverted "V", these crura extend around and to the interior of the outer labia.
There is considerable variation with regard to how much of the clitoris protrudes from the hood and how much is covered by it, ranging from complete, covered invisibility to full, protruding visibility. An article published in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology in July 1992 states that the average width of the clitoral glans lies within the range of 2.5 – 4.5 mm (0.10-0.18 in) indicating that the average size is smaller than a pencil eraser. There is no correlation between the size of a clitoris and the person's age, neither to being post-menopausal, nor to height, weight or use of oral contraceptives. Those who have given birth do tend to have slightly larger measurements.
Masters and Johnson were the first to determine that the clitoral structures surround and extend along the vagina, determining that all orgasms are of clitoral origin. [5] More recently, Australian urologist Dr. Helen O'Connell using MRI technology noted a direct relationship between the legs or roots of the clitoris and the erectile tissue of the clitoral bulbs and corpora, and the distal urethra and vagina. [6]She asserts that this interconnected relationship is the physiological explanation for the G-spot and experience of vaginal orgasm taking into account the stimulation of the internal parts of the clitoris during vaginal penetration. [7] Some individuals who experience orgasm from both direct clitoral stimulation of the glans and vaginal access to the internal bodies may distinguish between them in terms of both the physical and general sensations associated with each.
During sexual arousal and during orgasm, the clitoris and the whole of the genitalia engorge and change color as these erectile tissues fill with blood, and the individual experiences vaginal contractions. Masters and Johnson documented the sexual response cycle, which has four phases and is still the clinically accepted definition of the human orgasm. More recent research has determined that some can experience a sustained intense orgasm through stimulation of the clitoris and remain in the orgasmic phase for much longer than the original studies indicate, evidenced by genital engorgement and color changes, and vaginal contractions. [8]
For more than 2,500 years the clitoris and the penis were considered equivalent in all respects except their arrangement.[4] Medical literature first recognized the existence of the clitoris in the 16th century[citation needed]. This is the subject of some dispute: Realdo Colombo (also known as Matteo Renaldo Colombo) was a lecturer in surgery at the University of Padua, Italy, and in 1559 he published a book called De re anatomica in which he described the "seat of woman's delight". Colombo concluded, "Since no one has discerned these projections and their workings, if it is permissible to give names to things discovered by me, it should be called the love or sweetness of Venus."
Colombo's claim was disputed by his successor at Padua, Gabriele Falloppio (who discovered the fallopian tube), who claimed that he was the first to discover the clitoris. Caspar Bartholin, a 17th century Danish anatomist, dismissed both claims, arguing that the clitoris had been widely known to medical science since the 2nd century. Indeed, Hippocrates used the term columella (little pillar). Avicenna named the clitoris the albatra or virga (rod). Albucasis, an Arabic medical authority, named it tentigo (tension). It was also known to the Romans, who named it landica. (The Latin Sexual Vocabulary by J.N. Adams Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1982. pp. 95-6.)
This cycle of suppression and discovery continued, notably in the work of De Graaf (Tractatus de Virorum Organis Generationi Inservientibus, De Mulierub Organis Generationi Inservientibus Tractatus Novus) in the 17th century and Kobelt (Die männlichen und weiblichen Wollustorgane des Menschen und einiger Säugetiere) in the 19th.
The full extent of the clitoris was alluded to by Masters and Johnson in 1966, but in such a muddled fashion that the significance of their description became obscured. That same year, feminist psychiatrist Mary Jane Sherfey published an article on female sexuality that described in detail the extensive nature of the internal anatomy of the clitoris and in 1981, the Federation of Feminist Women's Health Clinics (FFWHC) continued this process with anatomically precise illustrations. [4] Today, MRI compliments these efforts, as it is both a live and multiplanar method of examination [9].
The external part of the clitoris may be partially or totally removed during female genital cutting, also known as a clitoridectomy, female circumcision, or female genital mutilation (FGM); this may be a voluntary or involuntary procedure. The topic is highly controversial with many countries condemning the traditions that give rise to involuntary procedures, and with some countries outlawing even voluntary procedures. Amnesty International estimates that over 2 million involuntary female circumcisions are being performed every year, mainly in African countries.
In various cultures, the clitoris is sometimes pierced directly. In U.S. body modification culture, it is actually extremely rare for the clitoral shaft itself to be pierced, as of the already few people who desire the piercing, only a small percentage are anatomically suited for it; furthermore, most piercing artists are understandably reluctant to attempt such a delicate procedure. Some styles, such as the Isabella, and the Nefertiti do pass through the clitoris but are placed deep at the base, where they provide unique stimulation; they still require the proper genital build, but are more common than shaft piercings. Additionally, what is (erroneously) referred to as a "clit piercing" is almost always the much more common (and much less complicated) clitoral hood piercing.
Enlargement may be intentional or unintentional. Those taking hormones and/or other medications as part of female-to-male transition usually experience dramatic clitoral growth; individual desires (and the difficulties of surgical phalloplasty) often result in the retention of the original genitalia, the enlarged clitoris analogous to a penis as part of the transition. On the other hand, use of anabolic steroids by bodybuilders and other athletes can result in significant enlargement of the clitoris in concert with other masculinizing effects on their bodies. Temporary engorgement results from suction pumping, practiced to enhance sexual pleasure or for aesthetic purposes.
Transgender people who undergo sex reassignment surgery may choose to have their surgeon design a clitoris, using their existing genital tissue. The new clitoris may be referred to as a neoclitoris.

Ocracoke has a unique history that revolves around pirates, shipwrecks, and offshore battles. Occupied for hundreds of years, this now booming tourism destination has deep roots that run parallel to the history of the country.
Ocracoke Island's first residents were a small tribe of Native Americans who were known as the "Woccocock." Many historians believe that subsequent mispronunciations of this name by explorers, colonists, and later residents, eventually led to the island's moniker of "Ocracoke."
Ocracoke first appeared on a European map in 1585, after John White made explorations along the North Carolina shoreline. Settlements of small colonists were reported as early as the 17th century, but it wasn't until the State Government stepped in during the early 18th century that the town began to "boom" as a community of fishermen, farmers, mariners, and pilots who manned the treacherous waters both offshore and along Ocracoke Island.
The community really made waves when a notorious pirate decided it was one of his favorite haunts in the 1710s. Edward Teach, more commonly known as Blackbeard the Pirate, would party onshore in the small village, and lurk around the adjacent inlet to loot passing merchant ships. His coastal North Carolina reign came to an end just off of Ocracoke as well, when he was finally captured and killed by a British Navy Ship commandeered by Capt. Robert Maynard. The area of water just off the coast of Ocracoke Village is now referred to as "Teach's Hole."
Ocracoke would fade from the national spotlight after Blackbeard, but the region continued to thrive as more settlers arrived in the area. By the late 1790s, more than 165 residents called Ocracoke home, and the island, as well as its neighbor Portsmouth Island, were becoming well-known among local merchant mariners.
Ocracoke also played a small but key role in the Civil War, World War I, and World War II. The island was home to a small Confederate fort, which was abandoned in 1861 when the Union troops captured Hatteras Island. During the two World Wars, Ocracoke was also dangerously close to the barrage of German U-Boats that lurked just off the coastline. In 1942, bodies of British Sailors washed ashore from the torpedoed HMS Bedforshire, and the community subsequently set up a British Cemetery in their honor.
Throughout the centuries, Ocracoke remained isolated and rarely visited until the 1950s. During this decade, the Cape Hatteras National Seashore was established, two ferries were purchased by the state of North Carolina, and NC Highway 12 was constructed along the island. After this series of events, the island was discovered by a new generation of explorers - namely fishermen, hunters, and rugged vacationers who were intrigued by the region's isolation.
After a town-wide water system was installed in the late 1970s, Ocracoke began its steady rise to the popular tourist destination that it is today. The year-round population is still in the hundreds, but now thousands of vacationers take a summer day-trip or weekly vacation to this historic and isolated Outer Banks destination.
The following timeline presents a brief overview of some of Ocracoke Island's most memorable, or most notorious, moments in history.
- 16th Century - Ocracoke is inhabited by local Native Americans, known as the "Wokokon." The name eventually evolves to "Okercock" and then Ocracoke.
- 1585 - Ocracoke first appears on a European map after an English expedition led by John White
- Late 1580s - Sir Walter Raleigh lands on the island during a coastal expedition.
- 1715 - The North Carolina colonial government passes a measure to settle Seafaring Pilots on Ocracoke to help guide vessels through the dangerous Diamond Shoals and Ocracoke Inlet waters.
- 1718 - The famed pirate Blackbeard is captured and beheaded off the coast of Ocracoke.
- 1753 - Ocracoke is officially recognized as a "town." 20-30 families now live on the island and call Ocracoke home.
- 1753 - Portsmouth Island, which is just south of Ocracoke Island, is colonized. Portsmouth eventually becomes one of the largest settlements along the Outer Banks.
- 1790 - The US Census reports that Ocracoke Village is home to roughly 165 people, which includes 31 slaves.
- 1798 - The first Ocracoke Island Lighthouse is constructed on Shell Castle rock. It is later destroyed by lightning in 1818.
- 1823 - The current Ocracoke Lighthouse is built and put into operation at the edge of Silver Lake Harbor.
- 1861 - Fort Ocracoke, a Confederate fort that was constructed at the onsought of the Civil War, is abandoned and destroyed as Union Forces take over neighboring Hatteras Island.
- 1940s - During World War II, German Submarines that lay just offshore destroy several British Ships. The bodies of British soldiers wash ashore and the British Cemetery is built in Ocracoke Village to properly and respectively bury the remains of four sailors that were aboard the HMS Bedforshire.
- 1940s - Ferry service to Ocracoke Island begins from Hatteras Island, thanks to local entrepreneurs who run a privately owned vessel.
- 1950s - Roads throughout Ocracoke Village are paved

See Ocracoke Island's history up-close with a visit to any of these historic sites and attractions.
Ocracoke Pony Pen - Located just a few miles south of the Hatteras Ferry Docks, the Ocracoke Pony Pen is where visitors can spot the famed Banker Ponies, which are thought to be the descendants of Spanish shipwrecks from the 1500s and 1600s. Docile and noticeably smaller than modern horses, the ponies can be admired via an outlaying fence that borders NC Highway 12.
British Cemetery - This small cemetery is home to four British Sailors who were washed ashore after their trawler, the HMS Bedforshire, was torpedoed by a German submarine on May 11, 1942. The cemetery is identified by a small white picket fence, and a British flag that towers overhead. The fag is replaced annually with a new British flag sent by Queen Elizabeth II, and a Memorial Service is help every year in May.
Portsmouth Village - Portsmouth Village is located across the Ocracoke Inlet, and is a historic settlement that has been effectively abandoned since the 1970s. Visitors can take a private ferry from Cedar Island, or a Portsmouth Island ATV tour from the docks of Silver Lake Harbor, to access isolated Portsmouth Island. Once onshore, visitors can explore a number of structures that still remain in this one thriving settlement, including the original Methodist Church, the general store, and a collection of residences.
Ocracoke Island Lighthouse - Built in 1823, the small Ocracoke Island lighthouse was instrumental in guiding mariners through Ocracoke Inlet, and has been shining a beam across the island for nearly 200 years. While not open to the public, visitors can take a walk or bike ride to snap photos of this iconic and oldest lighthouse on the Outer Banks up close.
Springer's Point - Historians believe that this little section of the village was once the stomping grounds of Blackbeard the Pirate, and modern visitors can follow his footsteps along nicely tended nature trails that lead to the Pamlico Sound. The small soundfront beach overlooks the famed "Teach's Hole," where Blackbeard made his last stand and was inevitably killed in 1718.
Ocracoke Preservation Museum - This museum is located in the historic 1900 David Williams Home and features a wealth of research materials for historians and journalists. The museum also has a far-reaching collection of local exhibits, and the house itself is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Ds had the lobster bisque and blackened catfish. He had the key lime pie for dessert. I had the New York strip which was absolutely delicious and the chocolate wave. Dd had the seafood linguine and key lime pie as well.
Sorry I havent been able to upload the photos to the gallery - they are copied form Photobucket.
Johnie, that's right that was there!
It was Feb 07 - and as a result of that I keep all our ADRs in my PDA now!
Next trip - Bali! (March 2015)
We tried it, again (we were with Kazza and Johnie for that Feb. meal), last September, and it was ok at best. Actually, truth be told, I spent the rest of the aftenoon/evening in and out of the bathroom. We had planned on doing the Food and Wine festival that night, but I couldn't eat a thing..:sick007:
Wow...I haven't gotten to this on my trip report yet, but we had a wonderful lunch there just last week. The bread was absolutely divine...a nice crusty ciabatta...we asked for more. We didn't go with seafood...Marcus and I both had the steak which was very good and Jordan had a chicken breast that was delicious and moist. ..the scalloped potatos were very good. And the chocolate wave I had for dessert was my favorite of the entire trip...I even got the recipe. We were seated on the first level, not right at the tank but still close enough for a great view. Our waitress was just wonderful, too.:p015:


text: I've been thinking about getting one because it is what seems like a killer deal on the bike. But I want to get a frame that is worth building up as well, a high quality frame. So I was wondering if the RX was a high enough quality frame that justified buying the bike, or if I was better off spending a bit more on something better.

Its not that simple.
Have you been charged with keeping a prohibited dog?
So whats the situation?
The law in relation to American pit bull type dogs is confusing. There are problems trying to define such animals in relation to breed specifications. For this reason the courts will assess an animal to see if it is an American pitbull type.
They will assess its overall shape with the help of animal experts.
The only safe way of knowing is to take it to the RSPCA or the PDSA and ask them. However, if they decide that it is an American pit-bull type you may find yourself being prosecuted.

Take Charge America, a Phoenix entity that provides counseling to debt-strapped consumers, laid off 35 workers this week after an executive shake-up that stems largely from a lingering battle with the Internal Revenue Service.
Take Charge America had laid off 83 people during the first quarter after the IRS revoked its non-profit status. The lawsuit with the IRS, in Washington, D.C., hasn't been resolved, though the case in late October was transferred to another judge.
John Fisher, the former president and chief executive officer at Take Charge America, resigned roughly two weeks ago and was replaced by David Richardson, the former chief financial officer. Mary Hall resigned as the firm's chief operating officer; she was replaced by Mike Sullivan, who has assumed the title of chief education and operations officer.
Fisher's departure reflected "differences in philosophy" with Take Charge America's board of directors in resolving the IRS dispute, Sullivan said in an interview.
Sullivan said the latest layoffs also reflect a downturn in business. Fewer consumers are seeking financial help, and Take Charge America has suffered a drop in referrals from banks and credit-card companies pending resolution of the lawsuit.
"Business for us is not nearly as robust," he said. "There has been a significant impact on the business in terms of the number of calls we receive and the number of clients we serve."
Following the layoffs announced Thursday, Take Charge America now has a staff of roughly 140 people. The 25-year-old firm, located at 20620 N. 19th Ave. in north Phoenix, employed 479 people as of mid-2010, according to a Form 990 filing with the IRS.
Earlier this year, in an e-mail to workers, Fisher cited the IRS dispute in warning of job cuts.
Counseling entities in general have seen a downturn in business over the past year or two amid tight credit conditions, with the result that fewer marginal borrowers have been able to obtain loans and thus get into worse financial trouble. Arizona bankruptcy filings, for example, have declined sharply since peaking in March 2010.
Take Charge America helps put people on payment plans to reduce their credit-card debt and other outstanding balances, but some cash-strapped consumers don't have enough money to make reduced payments.
A permanent loss of tax-exempt status would make it difficult for Take Charge America to be eligible for certain types of funding, including housing-counseling grants and grants from banks and other lenders. Take Charge also collects fees paid by consumers enrolled in its programs.

Charlie Sheen Goes on Drunken Rampage & Sent to the ER! What Happened?Sunny Chanel
Charlie Sheen did it again. We was caught yet again being a very bad bad boy. This dad of four was reportedly taken to the emergency room while in New York City at about two in the morning. Someone had called 911 and reported Sheen for severe intoxication. The police said that Sheen was "intoxicated, irrational" and "emotionally disturbed." Nice. But that's not all, he apparently flew into a rampage which led to the 911 call. What happened?
The New York Post reported that when hotel security rushed to his room Sheen was naked and very drunk. He had apparently thrown chairs around the room and had damaged the chandelier. It's being said that he came back to his room with an "unidentified woman" (read =hooker) and that he "flew into a rage after noticing his wallet had gone missing." And he had locked the "unidentified woman" in the closet. Classy.
One of the saddest parts of the story? He was in New York City to spend some quality time with his ex wife Denise Richards and their two daughters and they were in the hotel room right next door! They slept through all the chaos and Denise had the nanny watch the girls while she went to the hospital with Charlie.

The Food Network announced today that production will begin on Season 2 of "What Would Brian Boitano Make?" in December. The show is produced by Concentric Entertainment.
Slated to premiere in early March 2010, the second season of the series will include 10 new episodes. Filmlng will be done throughout the winter and follow 1988 Olympic gold medalist Brian Boitano as he demonstrates his culinary skills and talent for one-of-a-kind entertaining in his San Francisco home. "It [features] my stomping grounds and the places I go to shop," Boitano told IFS prior to the show's Season 1 premiere in August. "Some views of the city are very San Francisco. We have not shown anything that is typical San Francisco, but I am sure that will come up."
Boitano told IFS he wanted to include an episode that featured his Italian background. "My grandmother on my father's side was a great cook," Boitano said. "That is one of the episodes I want to do is focusing on my grandmother's ravioli. I am trying to hunt down her recipe. No one seems to know where it is but I remember her making them and inherited her ravioli pot that she used to make them. I want to do a whole thing on my heritage."
Boitano said he slowly began enjoying cooking after he won his Olympic gold medal. "I think slowly I sort of found it in my life after the [1988] Olympics. My diet was pretty strict during the Olympics," he said. "I always wanted to do a restaurant or be involved in the food industry, and then I discovered cooking. I liked eating obviously. I just started testing different recipes and doing that kind of thing."
He describes himself as mostly a self-taught cook. "I have taken classes but nothing to write home about. The stuff for me is really trial and error, trying a certain recipe and redoing it because I think it could use something a little bit better," he explained.
Few athletes have enjoyed the artistic and popular success than Boitano has achieved since winning the gold medal for the United States at the 1988 Winter Olympics Games in Calgary, Canada. Boitano, a three-time Olympian, has won more than 50 titles and was inducted into the World Figure Skating Hall of Fame, the U.S. Figure Skating Hall of Fame, and the National Italian-American Hall of Fame.
Boitano won a primetime Emmy Award for his starring role in the HBO movie "Carmen on Ice." In 1997, he published "Boitano's Edge: Inside the Real World of Figure Skating" (Simon & Schuster). He and fellow Olympic gold medalist Katarina Witt toured North America in three successful ice shows, and he also toured with Champions on Ice for 15 years. Boitano has provided expert commentary on skating shows for ABC, NBC and Turner. In 1995, he founded White Canvas Productions creating more than 20 specials including "The Brian Boitano Skating Spectacular," which will air Jan. 1, 2010 on NBC.
For more information on his TV series, inlcuidng videos, and recipes, visit the show's website.

As students cut costs by buying books from cheaper online retailers or by downloading e-textbooks, campus bookstores sell fewer and fewer textbooks. That's triggering an identity crisis for one of the oldest institutions on campus and leading some college officials to ask: If textbooks go digital, does the campus even need a bookstore?

Veterans Day MessageNov. 11, 2011
Today, from offices at Pat Neff Hall, we have watched our ROTC students faithfully standing guard at the flag pole on Founders Mall. This modest but commanding act of respect reminds us how each day, in locations all over the world, and in similarly humble but powerful ways, men and women in the armed services stand guard over our freedoms.
We are also reminded today of all those who have risked their lives, some, even making the ultimate sacrifice, to safeguard our nation and to protect life and liberty at home and abroad. Indeed, many such heroes live among us daily. They are our students, faculty, staff, and alumni.
On this Veterans Day, we honor the men and women of the armed services, those serving our nation now and those who have served at other critical times in our history. We remain a free nation today because of the selfless servants who choose to wear the uniform of the United States armed services.

Employee health care is expected to cost Phoenix an additional $5.4 million in the next fiscal year.
The city also plans to spend $3.1 million more for gasoline and $15.5 million more to fund employee pensions in fiscal 2012-13.
These and other details are in the city's new "zero-based budget." Coming in at more than 500 pages, the new addition to the city's regular financial documents offers the most detailed and easy-to-navigate budget Phoenix has ever released.
Residents can find out how much the city spends each year on everything ranging from retrieving abandoned shopping carts -- about $40,000 -- to running the city's six golf courses -- about $8.3 million.
The inventory details program, service and operational costs in a single document. It rolled out for the first time this month for the public and City Council to review as Phoenix develops its budget for the next fiscal year, which begins July 1.
Elected officials have showered the document with praise, and some believe it is the most detailed budget for a city of its size.
"It reflects this new era of austerity from all governments and the demands for more transparency," Councilman Tom Simplot said.
Cries for zero-based budgeting rang loud last year after the city tackled controversy over its 7 percent water-rate increase and concerns over nearly $30 million in promotion pay raises and bonuses for employees.
The public also asked Phoenix to provide thorough budget details before the city manager's trial budget is released in March, giving residents more time to review spending before public budget hearings in April.
Traditionally the city develops its annual spending plan by automatically building in the prior year's expenses, and highlighting only additions and subtractions. Under the new "zero-based budgeting" style, the budget is built from the ground up with the cost of all department expenses and spending available for review.
While zero-based or line-item budgeting is easy for smaller cities with fewer programs, it was a labor-intensive process for Phoenix, which has a more than $3.4 billion operating budget for fiscal 2011-12.
Budget and Research Director Mario Paniagua said it took city staff 1,800 hours to develop the detailed budget highlighting the costs and revenue sources for more than 400 city programs. That time also includes the work it took to make the document a PDF, available online at phoenix.gov.
The Government Finance Officers Association, a national organization that specializes in public financial management, recently conducted a research study showing that more municipalities are adopting zero-based budgeting techniques to adjust to the recession.
The study was based on a survey of more than 400 municipalities in Canada and the United States, and showed that 50 percent more respondents say they are applying zero-based budgeting philosophies since the start of the recession in 2008.
Locally, Glendale is looking to adopt a more zero-based budgeting approach.
Shayne Kavanagh, a senior manager for research at the GFOA and author of the study, said adopting zero-based budgeting principles allows policy makers and government officials a clearer view of what they can live without during times of austerity.
He said it didn't appear that any city as large as Phoenix or bigger has adopted a zero-based budgeting style.
"They adopt the label of zero-based budgeting because it sends a clear message that you're going to hold the line on spending and taxes," he said.

Sony RX100 Studio Shots = Amateurish
I see now the response from R. Butler as well (right after he banned my account). I'm a little shocked that the field curvature was that significant, as I have not noticed it in any real-world shooting. I guess the RX100 is just a poor "studio camera" for 50mm and the range required for the shot. I wonder if an alternate FL would be any better. I'd personally rather see distortion at the edges than general dullness across the entire image as a result of diffraction. But that's just my opinion.

Youth Motorcycles
Youth motorcycles include the Yamaha TT-R 50E, Honda CRF 80F, Suzuki DR-Z70, KTM SX65, and Kawasaki KX65.
Just because you might not be old enough to get a motorcycle license for the street doesn't mean you can't have two-wheeled fun. The biggest sub-category is dirt bikes designed for kids with docile motors. Funny thing is that adults realized how much crazy but relatively safe fun that could be had by racing their buddies on hopped-up versions of these child-friendly playbikes, and there is a strong aftermarket to support nearly unlimited modifications to these small-scale motocrossers. For those who don't like to get dirty, there's the option of pocket bikes that can be raced on paved racetracks.

The Icelandic government, two Icelandic municipal authorities and the EFLA engineering company signed a memorandum of understanding to promote the creation of a new port in the northeast corner of Iceland.
SSA Marine's Oakland International Container Terminal will make appointments mandatory for the majority of containerized import pick-ups in order to shorten lines at terminal gates and speed up cargo delivery to customers.
The company plans to accept the weights that clients provide as certified, but if clients are not able to provide the certified weight, it will weigh the cargo on their behalf.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
Kewill will pay Brambles, the Australian holding company that owns Michigan-based LeanLogistics, $115 million to acquire the cloud-based multi-tenant TMS and managed transportation services provider.
The proposed alliance would become a dominant player in the three major east-west trades, beating out total capacity currently offered by the 2M Alliance on those trade lanes, according to an analysis from BlueWater Reporting.
The project will enable third-party logistics provider SEKO to expedite the availability of rates, improve their accuracy since prices are coming directly from UASC in CargoSphere's cloud-based platform, and reduce staff hours in the process.

AMHERST — Amherst Schools Superintendent Steve Sayers said everyone at the school district will "have an extra bounce in their step" after news that two levies for the school were renewed.
The renewals — a 7.55-mill emergency operating levy and 2-mill permanent levy — were approved by more than 60 percent of voters Tuesday, according to unofficial voting results. The levies would raise approximately $4.7 million, making up for $4 million in cuts made by the state, according to the district's website.
Sayers said the levies were likely passed because voters would not have to pay additional costs, but he said Tuesday night that he was still pleased at the results.
"They were renewal levies, but we did not take them for granted," he said. "We had a great levy committee."
The levies will be used for funding classroom materials, student services, programming and staff and teacher salaries, as well as facility maintenance, Sayers said in a pre-election interview.
Sayers said he was "thrilled for (the) students," and he thanked the voters for their support.
"I just want to say thank you for stepping up and supporting our students. This will allow us to continue our services," he said.
Issue 8
- What it is: A 7.55-mill emergency operating levy.
- Duration: 10 years.
- How much it raises: Approximately $4 million.
- Purpose: Renewal of an existing levy to fund classroom materials, student services and programming and staff and teacher salaries.
- Cost to homeowner/taxpayer: The owner of a $100,000 home continues to pay $19.27 per month.
Issue 9
- What it is: A 2-mill permanent improvement levy.
- Duration: Continuing.
- How much it raises: About $700,000.
- Purpose: A renewal of an existing levy to be used for facility maintenance.
- Cost to homeowner/taxpayer: The owner of a $100,000 home continues to pay $3.01 per month.

DAVID DISHNEAU, Associated Press
BALTIMORE (AP) — Musician Thomas Dolby played a deranged scientist in the video for his 1980s hit, "She Blinded Me With Science." Now he is a university professor at a school known best for its medical science and research.
The 55-year-old Englishman started teaching last week at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. Not bad for guy whose formal education ended at age 16.
In his class called "Sound on Film," he is guiding 12 music and film students through the process of creating soundtracks for movies. Dolby scored a number of Hollywood films after releasing four albums in the 1980s. He released a short film last year.
Dolby also founded a software company in the 1990s that enabled cellphones to produce complex ring tones.

Watch This Dude Read 50 Shades Of Grey As Shatner, Yoda And 48 Others
By Mack Rawden 4 years ago
Doing a celebrity voice correctly isnt enough to make a video go viral. There are too many good impressionists releasing content out there. Consequently, the footage either needs to include a very funny premise, or it needs to be a highlight video of many quick, well-executed impersonations strung together. This one has both.
Brock Bakers new eight minute plus clip is entitled Fifty Impressions Of Grey, and it features impressions of fifty different celebrities or characters reading excerpts from Fifty Shades Of Grey. Its shocking, fast-paced and quite funny. Take a look at the footage below
One of the reasons why this video works so well is, despite all the crazy hoopla surrounding it, a lot of people actually have not read Fifty Shades Of Grey. That makes the material consistently shocking, and of course, the heavy reliance on animated characters hammers home a juxtaposition.
Clearly, this highlight tape was edited down from a very long sequence. Thus, I wonder how many impressions he did before narrowing down the choices to fifty. Which classic characters were left on the cutting room floor? Alas, well likely never know.
Luckily, he churns out videos all the time, and seeing how successful this one has been, it wouldnt be a shock if he films a Fifty More More Impressions Of Grey at some point.

Book a January or February 2009 sailing with Celebrity Cruises from today through November 7, and the second guest in the cabin only pays half the cruise fare. The offer is valid on select sailings, including warm-weather getaways to the Caribbean and Panama Canal.
In the past, winter cruises to warm-weather destinations have been among the most popular cruises, often selling out in advance. The confluence of multiple Monday holidays, school breaks and a general desire to escape the cold make these sailings quite popular. It's a telling sign of the states of the economy and industry that Celebrity is attempting to drum up bookings only a few months prior to sailing.
While not the most generous or long-lasting sale, this one could definitely save you a few hundred bucks and might mean the difference between cruising or not this winter. It's also a good opportunity for travelers looking to upgrade from a mainstream line to see how the other half cruises on a premium line like Celebrity.

Celebrity's Half-Off Sale Heats Up Winter
Celebrity's Half-Off Sale Heats Up Winter
November 5, 2008

An unseasonably warm Halloween will be on tap for eastern Carolina through the end of the week. Afternoon highs will reach the middle to upper 70s Wednesday through Friday. Halloween morning will see lows in the 50s then rebound well into the 70s during the afternoon. There is little chance for rain through Halloween evening. The threat for rain will increase by Friday afternoon as a cold front approaches the area. The front will eventually sweep the moisture and clouds off the coast on Saturday as temperatures turn cooler. Chilly nights and cool afternoons can be expected into early next week but a strong warming trend will develop by the middle of next week. There are not strong hints of lingering chilly weather across our region. Of course, the official start of winter is well over a month away.
The tropics remain quiet. Thus far the season has produced 12 named storms with only 2 becoming hurricanes. Neither one of the hurricanes hit the United States. There have been no major hurricanes during the season through October 29. The last year with no major hurricanes was 1994.

Space Exploration Initiative (1989)
Announced in typical Presidential style in 1989 by George Bush Snr, the Space Exploration Initiative was a plan to establish a permanent presence in space that would serve as a platform for manned missions to the Moon and Mars. Like all Presidential announcements about missions to Mars it came to nothing, and three years later the plan was abandoned.
