I have the Alien Anthology on DVD! I'm surprised you haven't talked about James Cameron's 1986 sequel Aliens yet. But hopefully we might expect a review of it sometime soon!

Alien is my personal favorite combination of Sci-Fi and Horror. The Alien universe is so rich and has been satisfying in both comics and novels. Did you know that Dark Horse comics had originally made their Aliens comics a sequel to the movie Aliens before Alien 3 came out? However, do to continuity issues once Alien 3 hit the scene, the characters of Newt and Hicks we renamed. However, the comics remain an interesting idea of what could have happened after the events in Aliens.

The really cool part is that according to rumor, in the scene where the alien bursts out of John Hurt, John Hurt himself was the only member of the the cast who knew what was going to happen. Assuming that's true, the rest of the cast weren't really acting; they were really that freaked out!

It is not a rumor, it is a fact.

could you do a review of aliens and predator for monster madness 2010 i love both movies and i want to hear what you think about them.
JohnthegamenerdMay 23, 2010 at 2:54 am
I'll always remember this movie as one of the first horror movies I ever saw,my babysitter put it on when I was like 7 years old and freak the shit out of me,the scene where the alien burst out of the guys chest will likely stay with me for the rest of my life.

I saw this review before i saw the movie on AMC, and the part were the alien comes out of no where and kills that dude still startled me. This movie is a classic, along with it's sequel, but the aliens 3 and alien reserection or whatever it was called, didn't pull me in like the first two.
Fan of the alien genre, and this movie will never be forgotten.
NOOOOOO REMAAAAAAKE!!!!!!!!!!June 10, 2010 at 12:56 am
Ultimate Haunted House Story!!!! Only this haunted house is a gigantic space tanker adrift in space and there is only so far you could go to try and hide but sooner or later the alien will find you.
MagicLoogie77June 16, 2010 at 11:10 am
Aliens is better.
WatchmenFTWJuly 24, 2010 at 12:56 pm
One of my favourite movies ever, best in the Alien series. I wished you'd talked more about the actual creature and the seuqels and stuff, a little bit disappointed, but all in all, pretty good.
mcmikec84July 30, 2010 at 2:00 pm
classic, yep. it always reminded me of like an Evil 2001: A Space Odyssey…
AlyxxAugust 9, 2010 at 2:00 pm
@ Ice Head: That's not entirely true. The cast had read the script and knew more or less what was gonna happen. What they weren't prepared for though, was how effective his acting was and how bloody it was going to be.
August 15, 2010 at 10:38 am
Comparing this and "Aliens" is pointless, since the first film is a sci-fi-thriller and the second is an action movie.
You don't watch the first film for the action!
venom 51007August 17, 2010 at 6:25 pm
the one thing i've always thought about was if theres a queen why don't we see the king alien i've always wanted to see the king alien in one of the alien films sense the queen alien was in aliens alien3 alien 4 alien vs predator but not in any of the alien films have i seen the king i really hope they make an alien 5 with the king alien cause i've been wanting to see it for years they made predator3 A.K.A predators but why not alien 5 fans such as my self have been waiting for it and i read that they were about to make alien5 but for some reason the director had a little issue with 20th century fox and it got cancelled i mean come on u made predator3 but why not alien5 it's frusstrating and to tell the truth i'm about ready to throw out my alien legacy dvd and give it to a hoboe named billybob i'm dead serious so please…..MAKE AN ALIEN 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
venom 51007August 26, 2010 at 9:14 pm
Rumors are being spread that a prequel to alien might come out and another AVP film but this one will take place in space and it was going to be released in 2011 or 2012 but it got plugged by fox cause the directors of AVPR wanted it to be in space but fox thought they were taking a risk of putting actors in space seriously what was fox thinking it wasn't gonna take place in real life space otherwise that would be dangerous and endangering innocent actors plus it would look like crap but i am looking forward to ALIEN 5 and PREDATORS 3 if ALIEN 5 does make it to a theatre and it would be directed by ridley scott but for the love of god if its not a prequel and is a sequel… PUT THE KING ALIEN IN IT PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ImgemaSeptember 28, 2010 at 9:26 pm
Mentioning Metroid was a nice touch James…
TenkageSeptember 29, 2010 at 11:44 pm
Alien is one of my all time favoite movies, why, the aliens of course, I felt fasinated by them, and in Aliens, I was hooked, Alien 3 and Alien Resurection was ok but they can never match 1 and 2.
October 1, 2010 at 8:41 pm
advertainment advertainment minus for you Rofle!!! I fucking hate it all i want to do is watch monster madness 🙁
GialloHorrorOctober 4, 2010 at 8:34 am
This film is fucking AMAZING! Another film that uses the setting and atmosphere to it's advantage, and it works perfectly!
God I love this shit!
I, actually, own a film called "Inseminoid" AKA "Horror Planet" (1982) which is a, really, cheesy, British rip off of Alien. That film sucks, but dammit, I love it anyway.
cormac888October 10, 2010 at 2:43 pm
that movie is amazing ! the specaol effects were very advanced for the time
October 13, 2010 at 5:19 pm
Thanks for adding this one up, James. I didn't know you did this one till you posted it up with the rest of your past reviews. I enjoy the three alien movies, and many people believe Metroid was inspired by the films.
RaDioHeaD4lifeDecember 8, 2010 at 1:43 am
I always was scared of this movie as a kid. all of them except the 4th one.
January 5, 2011 at 2:05 am
These adverts get so annoying! but the videos are worth it just wish most of the monster madness videos were longer than a couple of minutes! I know people need to make money but I'd like an advert that I can skip atleast D:
January 15, 2011 at 3:55 pm
get this clear james does not like having a living creature inside him self and pops out any minute… dont think he wants to be a women 😛
DecoyMay 3, 2011 at 11:40 am
A pitty the review for such a good movie wasn't longer.
movienerd1237August 18, 2011 at 2:08 pm
which movie do you like best alien or aliens
penpanAugust 25, 2011 at 2:58 pm
I love this film too, for its quiet and suspenseful atmosphere. And gotta love Sigourney Weaver, seeing her in Aliens and Ghostbusters was a part of my childhood.
ravinspawnSeptember 7, 2011 at 5:26 pm
take a look at the origanal traylur it was so saspencefull & creepy, not to menchin that ya hardly see the "xenomorph" in the movie untill the end, we have nothing like that add in moder times
probablytheonlyswedeOctober 7, 2011 at 11:06 am
you can´t fucking spell
go to school you little fucknugget!!!!!!!!!!!🙂
October 26, 2011 at 6:40 am
I really love the sound design in Alien, too. Nothing else sounds quite like it. Absolutely amazing movie and unquestionably the beginning of Ridley Scott's three great films, the other two being Blade Runner and Legend, IMO.
TekkenfanNovember 13, 2011 at 5:54 pm
there's gonna be another alien movie called prometheus.
NeilHammondMarch 7, 2012 at 1:14 pm

HorazStCruzMarch 20, 2012 at 6:00 pm
Firtst Dead Space did pay a great homage to this film, in a more than respectful way, and up to date, is the only game i can consider to be an all-around survival horror nowadays.
jacko wackoJuly 14, 2012 at 2:39 pm
Who would win in a fight:Xenomorph vs Necromorph
thatepicguyJuly 17, 2012 at 6:13 am
as most of you should no we never see Dallas death, all you see is the alien then hes cut of and i was telling this to my Dad and saying that maybe he did'nt die. Well my Dad showed me a deleted scene and it turns out him and brett did'ny die! the xenomorph cocooned them and Ripley finds them as shes excaping but Dallas says is "kill me" and she flame throwers them. i thought that was pretty cool
Connor MannFebruary 12, 2013 at 10:42 pm
It always amazes me when i think that alien was released only 2 years after star wars.
RomeroMay 19, 2013 at 12:20 pm
When it comes to why Ripley was the last one left…. I'd say 'LUCKY'! 😀
Stian NielsenJune 23, 2013 at 3:16 pm
Awesome episode, I love the alien movies. Check out my favorite movies, if you have the time Stan Movie Nelson on Twitter
October 12, 2014 at 7:21 pm
This is one of my most personal favourites. I was so excited when the director's cut came to the theaters, my chance to see it on the big screen. I've always liked how the film is so… well, minimalist in reality. From the seemingly generic title to the fact that sometimes the film is scariest when little happens. It's one of the few films that really understood how to blend more traditional visual horror with psychological horror, and the art design, sound design, etc. are amazing. Aliens is also a majour achievement, but I lie in the camp that still prefers the original film. I dunno, that's just how I feel. Though Aliens is still one of the best, especially in actually being smart – its so damn rare to see an action movie that pays so much attention to detail to its weapons, technology, etc. But this one is the ultimate classic to me though I <3 both. I'll also admit Alien Resurrection is a guilty pleasure, its an awful movie but its fun.
SUP3RFLYSAMURA1October 17, 2014 at 7:53 pm
This movie is one of the greats. A scary movie in it's truest form. It's got suspenses, jump scares, disturbing moments, and an unstoppable monster. Oh and their in fucking space! Sigourney weaver is badass!

Tamal en Cazuela
My grandmother was crowned the queen of Cuban tamales by those who knew her, but growing up I didn't like tamales. Later as an adult, even though I learned to appreciate my abuela's tamales, I preferred tamal en cazuela.
I decided to make this dish vegetarian although it traditionally calls for pork and/or chorizo. Knowing my meat loving family, I've prepared pork in the slow cooker to add to their bowls of my vegetarian cornmeal.
For the cornmeal:
1 cup ground yellow cornmeal
6 cups cold water
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 teaspoons salt
In a large pot over medium heat combine the cornmeal, water, oil and salt. Whisk until the mixture starts to thicken. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer until thickened about 30 minutes.
For the sofrito:
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 large green bell pepper, finely chopped
3 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 cups tomato sauce
1/2 cup dry sherry
1/2 teaspoon cumin
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
10-12 piminto stuffed olives (optional)
In a large skillet heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sautee your oinions, peppers and garlic, stirring until the onion is tender about 8 minutes. Add the tomato sauce and cumin. Simmer 30 mintues, stirring frequently.
Add the tomato mixture and olives to the cooked cornmeal. Blend well.
For the pork:
2 lbs boneless pork shoulder cut into bite size pieces (this dish is eaten with a spoon)
salt and pepper to taste
juice of one lime
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
dash of cumin
drizzle of olive oil
Put all these ingredients into a slow cooker and walk away.

I haven't made Tamal en Cazuela in a very long time. My mother's recipe called for crabmeat instead of pork, but my adult daughter is vegetarian, so I'm really looking forward to trying your recipe. Thanks

I'm serving this as a main dish w/ Black beans and rice and a veggie. How many does this recipe serve?
ReplyDelete I can't believe I had missed this post :) in my house Tamal en Cazuela was always done with crab legs, or with shrimp. Here's the recipe with crab legs:
I do know the pork version is the most known though and am excited to try it someday :)- AnonymousFebruary 12, 2012 at 11:19 AM
There is a difference, one is called Harina con cangrejos, (corn meal)... Tamal is made with sweet fresh corn if available, both are great. This is what I know.. You can substitute and combine both but I feel corn meal is drier than using fresh corn grinded like a paste. They call it tamal en cazuela because is not wrapped in corn leaves.. that will be a tamal..Tamal en Cazuela is without the leaves and they are both delicious..:)

In this annual survey of the world's richest people, it's worth pausing to consider one ugly effect of capitalism. It creates a few very wealthy grandees–what the 1992 billionaires survey in FORBES called "the trickle-up phenomenon." And this phenomenon has generated a lot of envy among those less fortunate.
Envy, though, is easier to bear than poverty. Socialism succeeded in lowering everybody's living standard. And the Third World today has greater economic disparities than the First. To be sure, billionaires tend to congregate in rich countries. All except one of the top ten countries in billionaire density have income per head above $22,000 a year (the exception is Saudi Arabia). But on the whole, income and wealth are more evenly distributed in affluent countries than in poor ones.
A single number, called the Gini index–after economist
All societies fall between these extremes. The Gini number is defined in such a way that it would equal 0 for the imaginary egalitarian society and 1 for the Bill-Gates-has-it-all society. Most developing countries have a Gini of 0.45 or higher. Nominally socialist China comes in at 0.40, alongside the U.S. (see table, below). Most of western Europe clusters around 0.30. We don't have a Gini handy for feudal England, but it would probably be at the high end of the scale.
Rich and Poor | |||
The income gap is greater in the US than in Japan, but its easier in America to amass a fortune. | |||
Country | Gini
Per capita
Canada | 31.5 | $22,379 | 15 |
China | 40.3 | 845 | 0 |
France | 32.7 | 21,751 | 13 |
Germany | 30.0 | 23,098 | 43 |
Hong Kong | 52.2 | 24,010 | 11 |
Italy | 27.3 | 18,730 | 11 |
Japan | 24.9 | 37,567 | 19 |
Mexico | 53.1 | 5,817 | 11 |
Russia | 48.7 | 1,697 | 17 |
South Korea | 31.6 | 9,668 | 2 |
Spain | 32.5 | 14,077 | 7 |
Sweden | 25.0 | 25,705 | 5 |
United Kingdom | 36.8 | 23,688 | 14 |
United States | 40.8 | 36,144 | 222 |
Venezuela | 49.5 | 4,981 | 2 |
In the West everybody is better off than people were in the days when the only way to subsist was by farming. Capitalism has produced a rising tide that has lifted all boats. But it has, no question, lifted some boats a lot more than others.
These Gini numbers, mind you, measure wealth, not consumption. The Gates household is something like 150,000 times as rich as the average American household, but it does not spend 150,000 times as much on food and medicine. Taxes and philanthropy push the distribution of living standards a long way in the direction of equality.
Do these two forces go far enough toward equality? That is the great debate for social philosophers. When President Bush announces his plan to cut taxes, his opponents greet the proposal with cries he is helping the rich. In Venezuela the divide between haves and have-nots has made the country virtually ungovernable. China's leaders have chosen to ride the capitalist tiger even if rapid economic growth leads to social tension.
Economic inequality has two effects, one good, one bad and both named by economists Joseph Zeira, John Hassler and José Rodriguez Mora. The good one is the incentive effect. The greater the disparity between wealth and income, the harder people strive to be successful, and by their striving they enlarge the pie. The bad effect, called the distance effect, is that inequality begets more inequality–the children of the poor have to work harder to succeed, compared with the children of the rich. Just compare the schools in a deprived neighborhood with those in a better-class one.
A society can choose to reduce the distance effect by taxing the rich and spending the proceeds on the poor. But in so doing it reduces the incentive to get ahead. European countries tend to have a lower Gini than the U.S.–and higher unemployment as well. In 1980 U.S. economic output per capita was just about the same as in France and Germany. Since then the per capita output in those countries has gone sideways, while in the U.S. it has climbed 50%.
More than tax structures are at work, to be sure. Egalitarian South Korea has seen a fivefold gain in living standards in the past 22 years. Korea is not merely capitalist but also socially homogeneous, and a place where hard work, saving and education are prized.
One lesson of all this is that societies where the spoils are more unevenly divided, such as the U.S., had better be mobile–or else. If a large enough number of people believe they have a fair shot at success, then they will put up with the megarich. But if large numbers feel stuck at the bottom, sooner or later they will explode. For now, mobility is making China safe for capitalism. The masses believe that plenty of people have become rich corruptly. But the Chinese economy still offers lots of legitimate business opportunities.
Hong Kong has one of the widest disparities in income of any developed economy. Yet social unrest is unlikely. People there are too busy trying to enrich themselves.
Mobility also is important at the top end. Consider these prophetic words about what was then Germany's forthcoming economic malaise, quoted in the FORBES billionaires survey of 1990.
Too much German family wealth was kept in private hands, passed from one generation to another. According to
In 1990 FORBES counted 38 billionaires in West Germany. Thirteen years later the number had edged up to 43, a 13% rise. The billionaire count jumped 111% in the rest of Europe and 124% in the U.S.
As FORBES wrote in 1992: "We needn't love our billionaires, but we should be grateful we live in a society that keeps creating new ones."

35 Responses to "SMASH! Convention Coverage"
It looks like it was a great event. I'm glad you brought Shiki home with you. I kind of feel she travelled to Australia just to meet you.
Looks like you had a blast there. The pics look awesome too. And not a bad haul of purchases and merchandise. Lol at Rei from Free! in the butterfly swimsuit. And Red Saber is still awesome.
I'm actually going to a convention as well tomorrow, though there's no guest panel and all that stuff. Just a local sponsored event in here. I don't actually go to a lot of conventions but I try when I feel like it. Might or might not get some pics and I hope to get some worthwhile items while I'm at it, if there are some.
I actually purchased the guidebook for the second season of Fate/Zero last time I went in April. Of course it's in moon but it was worth it.Will you be posting the Illya reviews? I so want to talk about it here, especially episode 6.
First off, congratulations on your debut to AniCons. You must have been exhausted when you returned from the event right?
SMASH Con looks really good. The venue looks pretty well organized (how many people could the stage seats accommodate?), the guest lineup is really interesting and my gosh that schedule sure is pack! Probably because it's a one day event but this event definitely needs a second day because there is no way a single person can experience all that was offered.
I remember going through Comic Fiesta 2011 in Malaysia, restlessly walking around for hours for two days and finally felt drained completely when I went home on day 2. Really, when you go for these conventions, you just don't feel the fatigue until it's really over. Not to mention, that was also the time I first used a DSLR borrowed from a friend which was a very good experience with the endless shooting of the event and cosplays (plus lots of technical problems along the way due to my inexperience of using the camera). Since it was my first Anicon, I don't have a benchmark to compare with but I really enjoyed it. Now I'm still attending Anicons that are not to far from my house.
I trust the Sydney weather was not too cold for you?
Did you get the chance to do other sightseeeing there? -
oh my god that Free! cosplayer. She must've made that costume so quickly *__*
I've still haven't gone to a con yet (too far away from anything weh) but maybe that's a good thing for my wallet because I would go insane in the vendor hall. Love reading posts and seeing pictures of them though! I hope you guys cover more in the future.
I get so jealous of you guys being able to go out to cons whenever available. There's no such luck for me where I am, though. It looks like you had a blast at Sydney, Kyokai and 7000 antendees is nuts. Now that's what you dedication. Everything in SMASH seems well organized and fun. I look forward to more posts like this.
hehehehe… I knew you'd love it Kyo! xD Sadly I wanted to attend as well but it just HAD to be during the week I had multiple assignments due T____T
Will try to go next year since they're making it two days now.
I just finished attending Manifest over here in Victoria Australia and cosplayed for the first time (as Bertholdt Fubar). Funny thing is, there was a SnK photoshoot at the Madman booth and because we didn't have any Eren's and no one recognized me as Fubar, they got me to act as Eren cuffed and being kicked by Levi ><
I could hear the fangirls squealing in the background over Levi, and I gotta admit, it was weird at first but fun in the end to be able to experience so much with my first cosplay 🙂
Unfortunately the only good thing about this years Manifest was that we got the pixiv artist KD who has been commissioned by Danny Choo to draw some illustrations for him to attend. Bought two lovely posters from him with his signiture~ It's so beautiful~
wow Smash seems to be wonderful from the post, i liked a lot…Boss-Lady is scarily good as always
ahhhh…i wanted to go…and maybe do a Mokona cosplay… i tried to do a Itachi cosplay once…never felt so violated T-T -
OMG the last cosplay from Free! when Rei tried that swimsuit!!LOL
Morita live dub?!awesome!!
[…] The Shiki figure Kyo bought at SMASH! […]

For myself, depending on the time of day and using 4g, YouTube videos need time to buffer. However, at night when speeds are quicker because less people are using, buffering is never a problem. Clearing the cache of the app or phone usually resolves any sort of app issue, but yours seems more tied to a speed/connection issue. Sometimes you may just need to restart the video (I have this trouble at home on my PC even on YouTube once in awhile). Videos will buffer very slowly, but as soon as I hit refresh it won't need to buffer the second time through.
I have since found out thru Open Signal app that the Verizon Wireless tower has an outage that they weren't aware of until I told them. The app gave me the tower number and readings I gave them and they made a service ticket to check the tower. Hoping it's fixed. Haven't lost my signal all day. #fingerscrossed Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Droid Forums

Wake up!
"Do you want to know where America is today in historical and biblical terms?" asks Farah. "It's where ancient Israel was before being destroyed by God. In Hosea 8, God speaks to the prophet about the precipice on which Israel stood." Just like them, says Farah, "we are in full apostasy boogie. We have left our Judeo-Christian roots, values and heritage and are pursuing other gods. We think we're too sophisticated for accountability to God."

Postage stamps and postal history of Cyprus
This article may be expanded with text translated from the corresponding article in Russian. (February 2015) Click [show] for important translation instructions.
This is a survey of the postage stamps and postal history of Cyprus. The country's postal history is intricately linked to the island's political past.
Ottoman and Austrian postal services[edit]
Postal services existed during the Venetian and Ottoman periods of occupation. Turkish stamps were used on mail from Nicosia from 1871 and stamps of the Austrian post offices in the Turkish empire were used at Larnaca from 1864.[1]
The British administration[edit]
The British administration of Cyprus began on 11 July 1878 and initially British stamps were used which may be identified by the numbered cancels used.[1]
The first postage stamps marked Cyprus were British stamps overprinted CYPRUS from 1880.[1]
The first postage stamps produced specifically for use in Cyprus, rather than being overprinted British stamps, were issued on 1 July 1881.[1]
Postal stationery[edit]
British postcards were first used in Cyprus from 1878, examples of such postcards used in Cyprus are very rare. In April 1880 Great Britain postcards overprinted CYPRUS were issued. Postcards with the name Cyprus in the design were first issued in July 1881. With changes in postage rates and the design different postcards continued to be made available to date.[2]
As with postcards British registration envelopes were made available from July 1878, these were followed by Great Britain overprinted registration envelopes in April 1880 and in 1881 registration envelopes with the name Cyprus in the design were issued. In total over 150 different registration envelopes have been issued to date.[2]
The first newspaper wrappers were Great Britain wrapper overprinted CYPRUS and issued in 1880. This wrapper is commonly found mint; only one complete used copy is known.[3] In 1881 the island was supplied with newspaper wrappers with the word Cyprus in the design. Different designs continued to be produced until 1976, after which they were discontinued.[2]
Pre-printed aerogrammes forms (or air letter as they were inscribed), with a 4½ piastre stamp affixed, were first made available in 1944. Aerogrammes with an imprinted stamp were first made available in 1946 and various designs have been produced since that date.[2]
Modern stamps[edit]
Since 1960, the Cyprus Postal Services have issued stamps in several series per year.
Modern stamps of Cyprus are issued by the Cyprus Postal Services.

I think I might have
squealed out load when I saw these adorable tickets this week (tweeted by Erin Bassett, designed by Ambrosia Girl).
I am forever looking
for new motivational tools for the kids, and these are, pardon the pun, just
the ticket! I love the vintage look, especially when they're printed on kraft
paper, and I love that they offer quick gratification. I am randomly handing
them out to the kidlets when they do something that makes me happy. I put
together a treat bucket that contains candy, trading cards, and other little
trinkets – inexpensive stuff, so I can be liberal with the tickets. It turns out they are
also pretty fun on a scrapbook page…
And best of all,
they're free! So what are you waiting for? Scoot on over and download some
happiness. :)

I purchase several CD wall units, they are just the right size for fat qrts or small pieces of yardage..Hung them on wall in front of my machine, it is handy and the colors of the qrts are very pretty.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I purchase several CD wall units, they are just the right size for fat qrts or small pieces of yardage..Hung them on wall in front of my machine, it is handy and the colors of the qrts are very pretty.
I have fun opening every FQ and pressing flat! (also inspecting for true cut, real size and booboos) Got a much better impression of what I had. Sorting by color also helps me plan how to use each one. I gently fold over the color batch and alternate in the stack - put into a bin with a lid. Have had to reroute several to smaller pieces bin due to the fading on the exposed fold. I also refold large pieces frequently - I hate having to wash or steam to remove hard folds. Obviously, I like using FQ's!
Here's another fun idea: Apothecary Cabinet storage for FQs
I bought a stack of letter/legal sized paper trays. You can put two or three stacks of about five folded fat quarters on each tray. That way you have a tower with about 15 FQs per tray. If you have three or six trays stacked on top of each other, it doesn't matter which bunch you pull out, you can pull five or so from any level without disturbing the others.
peacefulquilting I love love the cubies. Isn't that one of the cubies for shoes? I am just going to have to get me one of them. Thank you.
I collect Seraphim Angels
Yes, it is - I bought one and put some fat quarters in it and liked it so much I bought another one to use, but haven't put it together to use yet. We're adding a room onto our house to become my quilt room, so I'll probably wait until I move into the new room before trying to get more organized.
I just finished my organization yesterday for anything I have less than a yard! I found great bins at Target and organized mostly by color and a few speciality bins (i.e. kids, food, Americana, Batik, etc). My mom and I make many charity quilts and people from our guild give us leftovers so we can use them up! This leads to needing a great organization system for small yardage so we don't lose our sanity! lol

Suggestions to Help Pay for Adderall XR
$229. For 30 capsules. FANTASTIC.
Blue Cross Blue Shield doesn't seem to want to help. I have to meet my deductible of $2600 before they pay a penny. I've tried Vyvanse and the generic, and neither worked. Vyvanse just... didn't work well at all. I had bad side effects, but barely any increased focus. As far as the generic goes, I didn't even know I had it until I noticed for the 3rd day in a row, I kept having ups and downs throughout the day, I'd feel nauseous when I woke up, and depressed when I came down. I checked the dosage on the bottle when I saw that it wasn't name brand, it was the generic version. I google about it and apparently I wasn't the only one having bad results with the generic version. Anywho, I'm a college student and I've been taking Adderall since my Junior year of High School. I was doing HORRIBLY in school up until I started taking Adderall XR, at which point I began getting straight A's. Throughout my first 2 years of college, I kept thinking how I would NEVER have been able to keep up without my medication. I plan on going to med school after I graduate, so you guys can guess that I'm working my *** off to get good grades. But... money is getting a bit tight, and I don't want to have to put an extra financial strain on the family every month. Does anyone have suggestions on how to force insurance to help out, get discounts, etc? I'm kinda screwed here, because I feel guilty for having to ask for $220/mo on top of my expenses. I asked my parents if I could get a job to help and they gave a VERY firm NO. They want me to focus on my classes so I can do well in school. I dunno. I guess I'll ask you guys because chances are someone has had this issue :P (oh and by the way, in response to the Adderall shortage threads, I, too, was having issues finding a place with 20mg XR in stock this past month, Walmart kept saying the were going to order it, finally Walgreens called and said they had some in) |
Re: Suggestions to Help Pay for Adderall XR
Wow. I don't have any answers on helping pay for the XR, but have you considered switching to IR? There isn't a generic for the Adderall XR yet, which is why you're paying out the nose for it.
Managing the IR doses can be a bit of a pain, but once you've got the hang of it, it's great. |
Re: Suggestions to Help Pay for Adderall XR
I second Kaimei's suggestion. IR is tremendously cheaper than XR (by a couple hundred bucks) and should work similarly, despite it being somewhat of a nuisance to take multiple doses. I think it's worth the money saved, personally. It also appears that IR Adderall is less impacted by the shortage than XR. If you weren't insured, there are probably greater options to you in getting help with prescriptions, but I'm thinking that your only choice is to do battle with Blue Cross, which I'm certain would be ugly and not nearly as productive as you'd hope.

Re: Suggestions to Help Pay for Adderall XR
I don't know where you are in Texas, but there's a little mom and pop pharmacy in my town that has had XR since I started taking it three months ago. I started with Shire XR and it was $51.00 with insurance--or about what yours would be without insurance (maybe a little cheaper). I just got the branded generic and it was half the cost of name brand--$24.00 with insurance or $100 something without. Walgreens has a free discount prescription card as well, so that will help defray costs. Kaimei is right, though. IR is really much cheaper. Thirty pills of IR costs me $4.18 with insurance. Without it would have been about $15.00. But ultimately switching to IR would be the most economical way to go. A lot of people don't mind figuring out when to take each dose.

Re: Suggestions to Help Pay for Adderall XR
I am with them on switching to the IR. If you don't want to do that I suggest heading to Costco (you don't have to be a member to use their pharmacy). I went there when I did not have insurance and the cost difference is HUGE. $180 at Walgreens vs $45 at Costco for Adderall IR (generic).
Re: Suggestions to Help Pay for Adderall XR
rob the pharmacy
if too hard, rob a liquor store, then buy your adderall with the money u steal

Re: Suggestions to Help Pay for Adderall XR
Thanks for the responses everyone!
I thought there was a generic XR by TEVA and Barr and all? Also, how much is name brand IR? I went into Costco and asked how much name brand XR is and they said $230! I have heard from multiple people that they have it for less but I guess their prices may be fluctuating or something. I'm in College Station if that helps! |
Re: Suggestions to Help Pay for Adderall XR
Are you a....gulp...Aggie????? lol Just giving you a hard time Some of my best friends are Aggies!!!
Walgreens has a discount prescription club. The membership is something like $15.00 for the year and you are supposed to get prescriptions for 75% off. You can google it and print out an application. There's also another thing called FreeDrugCard.us/walgreens. It's free, but I don't know much about it. It's online also. If you're not wanting to switch to IR, those might be the way to go. It might be worth it to go to Walgreens and see how much of a discount you get on XR. Have you checked around the surrounding cities? Like Navasota or Hearn? Houston is a bit of a drive, but you might have good luck there. Since you're in a college town, shortages are probably going to be common.

Louis-François Aubry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Louis-François Aubry, who was born in Paris in 1770, studied under Vincent and Isabey, and became celebrated as a portrait painter. He exhibited at the Salon of 1810 portraits of the King and Queen of Westphalia, which were praised for their colouring. He died in about 1850.

I'm all for supporting Long Island businesses, and kudos to local LiV for producing what is apparently a great-tasting vodka, but LIBN's role in this strikes me more as publicity/public relations for LiV than news reporting.
That is fair. And I assure you that after the test, which I participated in, we were all a bit caught off guard when Ambrose told us LiV was the one we were all really enjoying. We didn't expect that result.
Then, of course we wrestled with the idea of publishing the results because we didn't want to raise suspicion regarding our motives.
However, it was true, those were the results. And if a news organization is going to be reputable it must always stand by the facts.
Five of us tasted, we didn't know which vodka was which, we all picked the same one as our favorite, it turned out to be LiV.
Believe it for it is true.
Had LiV come in last place, nobody would have questioned us.
But sometimes the news is good.
Will this be available in Nassau County retail locations?

it was an okay game. I liked it at first but then when I got to the last level with the witch's castle, the match 3 just didn't seem to stop. I got bored waiting for the end so I just gave up and stopped playing it. I didn't think it was worth my time to waste it on one game See more See less

He has never met my husband and they have only spoken 2 or 3 times on the phone in the 6 years we have been married. My husband is a former (non-retired) LEO. Any advice, especially from you wives? Thx. YaYa SweetAsAVelociraptor

| Posted over 8 years ago Thank you for responding guys, mongo004, Dad will be staying at a cabin about 20 miles from our house. My concern comes mostly from the fact that my husband has very strong feelings about some things that happened in my childhood, and his ability to 'corral' and redirect angst has slipped considerably in the years he has been away from LE. Just in case, no my dad did not molest me! That seems to be the first thing people think of when they hear of 'issues' in childhood. Am working on the RELAX part. I've decided to get a professional sports massage tomorrow before work. My traps look like Swarzenegger's right about now..... YaYa SweetAsAVelociraptor

| Posted over 8 years ago All you can do is hope for the best. I don't know what happened in your childhood to have your husband that upset and it is none of our business but I'm glad it isn't the one thing you stated. Just remind your husband it is only a short visit and to try his best but on the other side of the coin remember your husband has been the one there for you for the past 6 plus years, not your dad. If you want to see your dad than your husband should accept it but also be there in case things do go bad. I understand where he is coming from because I get mad at my in-laws sometimes for the way they treat my wife. Maybe they have something in common like sports or fishing or hunting or something that they can focus on to get better aquainted. They both love you so that's a start, right? Good luck and hope it works out. Police work- the greatest show on earth and my team always wins!!!

Sadly he passed away shortly after. I was happy to meet him and glad he could spend some time with my daughter. Seeing that the weekend is past I hope all went better than expected. |

| Posted over 8 years ago Hi Freezie! Good luck with this visit. The only thing I would suggest is that everyone be aware they have "an out" if they need it. Don't try to throw everyone together all the time. Make sure everyone knows that if they are more than slightly uncomfortable, they can take a breather for a while. Also, make sure that everyone else respects the other person's right to take a break from the others. If no one feels pressured, it will hopefully go well. Ideally, Dad would be staying at a hotel, but that's not always feasible. |


text: A debut thriller introducing Philip Mercermine engineer, geological consultant, and the only Bond clone who carries a Derringer strapped to his testicles. A study in triple crosses, Du Brul's story tells of a 40-year plot contrived by the Russians, who want to own a newly risen underwater volcano 200 miles off Hawaii. Geological physicist Pytor Borodin and an American physicist who's studying the oceanic Bikini A-bomb test have independently discovered the same fact: that enormous underwater thermal heat, when mixed with lava, can produce the hardest fuel known to manbikinium, which, once put to use, gives off more energy than is needed to burn it. Back in 1954, Borodin had also discovered that the thinnest part of the tectonic plate in the Pacific is just 200 miles past Hawaii. So the Reds secretly sink a ship carrying an A-bomb. The plan is to detonate it on the seafloor, creating a volcano whose lava can then be processed very cheaply for bikinium, leaving the Soviets as the most powerful people on earth. But during the 40- year wait for this secret volcano to break to the surface, at which point it can be claimed as Soviet territory, the USSR empire collapses and a KGB officer decides to sell the whole plan for Vulcan's Forge to North Korea for $100 million. Enter Philip Mercer, out to save the life of on old friend's daughter, a member of a geologic survey team lost near the volcano. Much bang-bang but little kiss-kiss ensues. Meanwhile, a superbillionaire Japanese racist plots the secession of Hawaii, and Mercer, empowered by the US President, finds himself in cliffhangers more wonderfully outrageous than you'll find in Clive Cussler or Ian Fleming. A finely tuned first installment in the Mercer series, buoyed by strong, fresh writing. Remember, Fleming could never top From Russia With Love, so come aboard now.

WFAA Probably Won't Let Libertarian John Jay Myers Into Senate Debate, So He's Protesting Its Downtown Headquarters
John Jay Myers owns the Free Man, a Cajun joint in Deep Ellum. He also runs a wholesale embroidery business, has a "deep, deep mistrust of the government," would like to legalize medical marijuana, and thinks we should bring all the U.S. troops home. And he believes Texans are being denied a chance to hear his views in a planned October 2 debate for U.S. Senate candidates on WFAA because of unfair standards for inclusion.
"The Belo-owned --" he begins during a recent phone conversation. He pauses. "Are you guys Belo-owned? Don't tell me you are. No? The Belo-owned media don't like to have alternative parties in their debates."
Myers is running for U.S. Senate, against two better-known and (much) better-funded challengers, Republican Tea Party favorite Ted Cruz and Democrat Paul Sadler. His campaign is planning the protest for Wednesday morning in front of WFAA's headquarters on Young Street, saying that the five criteria WFAA uses to determine who should be included in its debates are unfair, and per the Facebook event invite, "meant to specifically keep out opinions other than those of the two major parties."
According to an email sent by Carolyn Mungo, WFAA's executive news director, to Myers' campaign, the criteria for inclusion are as follows:
- Receives significant levels of public support in independent public opinion polls (e.g. 15 percent, which is the minimum used by the Commission on Presidential Debates).
- Has received substantial campaign contributions from varied sources.
- Has received a substantial level of votes in prior elections for the same or comparable office.
- Expected to be reported by news agencies in election night returns.
- Has received significant news coverage from a wide range of media outlets.

Myers' campaign contends that he has indeed raised a substantial amount of donations, relatively speaking. According to campaign reports, Cruz has raised about $8.8 million and has $1.45 million cash on hand. Sadler has about $139,000 and has a little less than $31,000 cash on hand. Myers says he's raised $11,000; the data we consulted on Open Secrets reports $6,139, with $5,591 cash on hand. Those numbers are from June 30.
Considering that many Libertarian campaigns haven't raised squat, Myers says, "$11,000 at $25 a pop is reasonable. None of that was put in by ourselves." (The other third-party candidate, Michael Louis George, has a little over $86,000, all of it provided by one Michael Louis George.)
Myers' campaign also says neither Sadler nor Cruz meet the polling requirements; polling data on this race is pretty sparse. Cruz has never run for office before, meaning, obviously, he hasn't received "a substantial level of votes" in prior elections, unless you count the Republican primary.
"There seems to be a partisan double standard here," Myers' campaign manager wrote in an email to Mungo, "With no clear guidance regarding exactly how many criteria must be met and to what degree."
Carolyn Mungo had no comment on the planned protest Monday morning. "Our criteria has been in place for quite some time," she told us, "The criteria we've used for debates for the past several years." She denied, too, that any candidate would have to meet all five conditions to be included. "We never said anyone has to meet all the criteria," she told us, not very warmly. "No. That was never communicated."
Neither the Myers camp nor WFAA is saying outright that he's being denied entry into the debate. Mungo points out that in a previous debate, this one for the 2010 GOP gubernatorial primary, a third candidate ended up securing an invitation after all.
"Debbie Medina was not initially on our debate list," she says. "As the election progressed, it became apparent that she would be allowed into the debate."
Myers is no stranger to running for office, or to being virtually ignored while he does so. In 2009, he ran for City Council in his home district, District 7, against current council member Carolyn Davis and six other people.
"Rudy Bush covered the whole thing," Myers recalls, referring to one of the Dallas Morning News' City Hall reporters. "Nice guy. Never mentioned us or mentioned that we had a chance." After the election, in which Myers pulled fourth place among the eight candidates, he says, "Rudy emailed me and said, 'We had no idea you would do this good. Had I known, I probably would have talked about you more.'"
In 2010, Myers ran for U.S. Rep. Pete Sessions' seat, garnering a bit more press coverage from Rudy Bush , but not much elsewhere (including us). "We ran into the same thing" as during the City Council race, he says. "We had no idea the press would ignore us."
During this Senate run, his campaign is getting a bit more aggressive. He's been crisscrossing Texas in an RV with five volunteers, giving stump speeches in the DFW area, Waco, Austin, San Antonio, Houston, Nacogdoches, Tyler, and Mount Pleasant. At every stop, he says, he's drawn "50 or so people, even with the news pretty much denying we exist."
In Houston, he says, they parked the RV outside of the Channel 2 news station, "because they said they didn't want to interview us. We stuck our signs in the yard, pulled our tent out, got all the guys out, all five volunteers, put our seats up and said, 'We're actually sitting right here, so if you come out and interview us that'd be appreciated.'"
Did they?
"Yeah," Myers says. "A cameraman and a reporter came out. We never actually saw the interview. But they did do the interview."
"This race has gotten so weird," he says reflectively, "that it seems like I'm the ultimate candidate, I'd say, for the broad base of Americans. I'm fiscally conservative. I don't believe the government should be spending our money, because they use it to fund more wars. On the other side of that, I'm socially tolerant. I don't care what you do with your life. I don't care who you marry. I think that's where most Americans sit. I believe that to be true."

Gin and Topics: Equality, SEO, and a Sheep Expert
You know what next week is? A short week! Oh. Wait. I guess the short week really isn't until the following week. But most of us will leave early next Friday. Right? Right.
So sorry to rub that in the faces of my friends not in the U.S. We'll be thinking of you as we sit outside sweltering in the heat.
Until then, though, there is plenty of work to do. Including reading/watching these five pieces I've pulled together for you. Some will inspire the heck out of you, while others will have you nearly peeing your pants from laughing so hard (cough, sheep expert, cough).
Without further ado, this week's Gin and Topics.
5. I Scored a 35 Playing the Google Game. I saw this tweet come across my stream because Sarah Robinson RT'd it. Intrigued at the title, I clicked through and was pleasantly surprised to find Alex Whalley and his extremely concise, and easy to understand, content on SEO. This particular post teaches you about the long tail of search. Everyone who needs a lesson should try his suggestions…and see how high you score.
4. Equality Is Up to You. Late last week, as I was boarding a plane, Ann Manion and I had a fiesty email exchange about women, our perceived equality, the glass ceiling, and why more of us aren't invited to speak at conferences. Her last email to me was a link to Sheryl Sandberg's (the COO at Facebook) commencement address at Barnard. It was one of the most inspiring speeches I've ever seen. Ever. It's worth every minute. Please watch it, women and men both. I want to be her when I grow up.
3. An Open Letter to TIME re: Darth Vader. Let's be real; any person who has created an entire identity around doing PR for the Death Star has to be the most creative around. And, to prove my point, this letter to TIME, who listed Darth Vader as the third worst fictional father figure. They wrote the letter as if it were coming directly from The Galatic Empire. So. Freaking. Funny. I wish I were this creative.
2. Six Easy Steps for Measuring Marketing. It's a big no no for me to link to anything on Spin Sucks in Gin and Topics, but I'm so impressed with the REAL RAW DATA that Adam Boastman provided in his guest post this week that I think it's fair to point you to it, especially if you missed it. If you're in marketing or PR, this is a MUST read. It has really easy steps to begin to implement a dashboard for reporting your results.
1. Klout Discovers a Renowned Sheep Expert In Mr. Danny Brown. This is, by far, the best interview I've seen all week. It's no secret how many of us feel about Klout and its perceived influence measure, but this just takes the cake…and shows how easy it is to game the system. I love how serious Danny and Dino Dogan come across. Some people on Twitter thought it was real. #iamdying
Have a great weekend, everyone!

That Darth Vader letter made my afternoon. It was awesome. Although I have to add that the interview with the sheep king was well worth the watch.
Loved the Darth Vader but still, no contest this week, the #1 spot wins it!!! People thought it was real??? The "polyester sheep" bit wasn't a red flag? I agree with spinsucks — I don't know how they kept a straight face. 🙂
Nobody thought that sheep video was real right? PLEASE, no one is that stupid! Right? Right? *taps* Is this microp0hone on?
Did you know I am influential about The Beatles, Mazdas, and New Jersey? #truestory.
I want to be influential about Louisville Sluggers. Can you help?
@NancyD68 Im afraid someone did. See http://twitter.com/#!/cyberpenguin/status/84012019279331328 and http://twitter.com/#!/cyberpenguin/status/84012481151901696
"We know good sheep. We know bad sheep. We know baby sheep, but we tend to stay away from them…" LMAO
Thank goodness I have a Scottish background. Maybe if I chat back and forth on Twitter with Danny, my sheep score could also increase!
I think I'm most impressed with how Danny delivered his "content' with such a straight face. Wow. We can ship sheep out!
Ok, I'll have to check out the other stuff now. 🙂 Still laughing.
@dino_dogan My eight year old son knew that interview was not real! Of course, he also thinks Scottish people don't really talk like that, but hey, he is only eight!
Dino, that is priceless! Some people will believe anything!
@dino_dogan @NancyD68 omg omg omg – "he has no idea he's being mocked". omg omg.
I laughed so much I was in tears watching Dino and Danny's video yesterday. I checked my Klout, and apparently I am influential about chocolate. Here's the problem: I don't like chocolate, and I don't eat chocolate. Maybe I should have Willy Wonka interview me!
@Lisa Gerber @dino_dogan now, some fools will believe anything. I am a fair skinned blonde from Jersey. When I first went back to school, I hung out with some Puerto Ricans and Haitians. One day, I was hanging out waiting for the bus, and someone came up to me, speaking Spanish (since I look VERY Hispanic!)
I told my classmates about this and they laughed like hell. They then "adopted" me. Next day, waiting for the bus, this guy comes up to me and says "What is your nationality?" I say with a totally straight face – I am half Puerto Rican and half Haitian he asks "Oh! Do you speak French?
Only in Jersey! I was dying laughing as I got on that bus!
@marianne.worley Wasn't that funny? I freaking love that they think that way. I mean, I saw he was influential in sheep and the most my mind thought was, "You should +K that." I never even thought to do an interview. Love that!
Notwithstanding the fact that you don't eat chocolate (WHAT?!), I think it's pretty funny what Klout determines as your influence. For me? Drugs and army. Huh?
@EricaAllison Funny, right?! I was HOWLING in my office!
@NancyD68 LOL! Yes…see what @dino_dogan says. LOL!
@adamtoporek Darth Vader was pretty clever. But you're right, I put the interview in the #1 spot for a reason.
@TheJackB Did you read the comments on the Darth Vader letter? I was DYING at how many people were correcting them. Leia wasn't kidnapped; she was abducted. People! Chill out.
@ginidietrich I know, it's a genetic anomaly. One of my (many) quirks. I don't like coffee either. Shocking but true. To give Klout a bit of credit for connecting me to a keyword: I have talked about my dislike for chocolate on Twitter and in the comments on several blogs. @EricaAllison mentioned sheep quite a few times in her comment–maybe she'll be influential about sheep soon!
@ginidietrich People are just peachy sometimes.
PML! That video is hilarious!!
hahahahaha Dino is the next Conan Obrien!
Danny mate, Steel wool and red raw balls? LMAO That's comedy gold right there.
I personally am not a fan of shephed Johnny though. Nothing personal – just a bad experience that's all. (sure you understand though)
Thanks so much for sharing this and of course for the link love. I definitely felt it and I'm glad you liked the game. Thanks for the AWESOME tweet too btw.
NB: It's about time I came over and connected Gini! Geeez 🙂
OMG I just read the comments and then realised I missed the Vader link.
Just got back from it and I nearly died. Seriously
Gin and Topics: Equality, SEO, and a Sheep Expert – http://t.co/yH1q6av via @ginidietrich RT @DougH @ShellyKramer
@ShellyKramer I am also a failed sheep expert. #alas #egads
@marianne.worley @ginidietrich @EricaAllison Marianne, you and I are on the same wavelength about chocolate. I don't like it…I mean, I REALLY don't like it. But coffee? Apparently I'm influential about coffee:) Cheers! Kaarina
Loved the commencement address: my take-away point is…The best revenge is success:) And to quote; "Think Big. Dream Big." Wise counsel from Sheryl Sandberg. Thanks for all the shares @ginidietrich
@BuildRankProfit @dino_dogan is a genius, for sure 🙂
@EricaAllison I'm free to chat anytime, miss – just use the Baaat Signal 🙂
"The steel rash on your undercarriage"… the greatest 1 line I've ever heard. It took all my effort not to spit out my Starbucks coffee. Absolutely hysterical. @DannyBrown Amazing to have a voice now to put with your words.
Gini, hope you're having a fantastic Sunday!!
@JamesDBurrell2 Wasn't that funny? I'm pretty sure I did spit out whatever I was drinking. HAHAHA!
@KDillabough I really loved the part where she talked about how we lean back because we might have a baby in a few years or we might want to stay home so we don't go after the things we deserve. I also really loved her vulnerability when talking about how everyone trashed her when she went to Facebook. Even though I'm nowhere near her level, I can relate. And she said she couldn't even say she wouldn't cry next time. I. Love. That.
@BuildRankProfit Wasn't that funny?? I was dying at the comments where people were correcting the author on the facts. People have waaaaaay too much time on their hands.
@BuildRankProfit I loved the game! I'm going to ask everyone in my office to do it so they better understand search. Fabulous educational tool!
@KDillabough @marianne.worley I'm pretty sure the two of you are aliens.
@ginidietrich I. Love. That. Too.
It's funny, back in "prehistoric times" when I was in university, one of our profs said that it would be up to us to make coaching (athletic coaching) a respected and viable profession, that this would be a paperless society, and that there would be no "glass ceiling". He should have made that a multiple choice question, with a "none of the above" as the 4th option. Not trying to be cynical. It's just interesting to see how far we've come and yet how "not far" we've gotten. Just my two cents. Kaarina P.S. That's 2 1/2 cents Canadian:)
Did you know it's Canada Day on Friday July 1? So I guess we'll be sitting in the heat, enjoying cold beer and great food, before you. Bwhahahaha! 🙂
@JamesDBurrell2 Cheers, mate, glad you enjoyed 🙂
@marianne.worley I'm sure @dino_dogan can accommodate, Marianne! 🙂
@DannyBrown Shhhh Danny, they'll all be rushing up here for our beer:)
@KDillabough True dat. Have to feel sorry for @ginidietrich and crew drinking their weak excuse for beer… 😉
@DannyBrown @ginidietrich So true, so true:)

This event was live streamed by No Lies Radio on June 26, 2012.
See the video archive below.
Murder at Kent State: 40-Year Coverup Exposed
Over 40 years ago, on May 4, 1970, National Guardsmen opened fire on unarmed students at Kent State University in Ohio who were protesting the escalation of the Vietnam war. Many students were injured and 4 were killed. Several high-level government commissions held investigations and absolved the Guard, its commanders, and the FBI of all wrongdoing. Now new forensic evidence has emerged that explodes this coverup. Speakers Include: Gerald Sanders will speak on the lesser-known murder of 2 Black students at Jackson State University in Jackson, Mississippi just 10 days after the Kent State killings and the relatively unknown Orangeburg Massacre in 1968 at South Carolina State College where three men were killed and twenty-eight persons were injured. Event also has Q&A. RELEVANT LINKS: If you are in the San Francisco Bay Area, please attend in person to support:

Well, my courgettes and squashes are up.
I know from bitter experience that they must not be checked at this important stage so I potted on the largest today.
Patti Pan squash 'White Custard' and Courgettes 'Bambino' and 'Black Beauty' are pictured.
Rachel, my courgettes are at about the same stage. What do you mean by "must not checked at this stage"? The Learner veg grower here, is asking the question.
Fran, if courgette roots do not have enough space, the plant will slow down. This is detrimental for squashes and they never recover. As soon as your roots fill the cell/pot, you need to pot on. With courgettes (like sunflowers) this can happen quite rapidly, sometimes even over-night.
OK, mine are in peat pots, noticed this evening that the roots are coming through on two of them, will pot them on tomorrow so, thanks.
thanks for this Rachel,will do mine tomorrow cause roots are everywhere
Good luck with all the young courgettes Rachel.No problem with the weather here this morning.Sunny and dry,just what all the gardeners need.

Hello, stampers! I don't have any creative things to show you today but just a couple of pictures we took while on vacation last week. It was an anniversary/family/Mother's Day vacation. We went to Seaside, Oregon. We love that place and really had a good time. The picture above was taken on our 17th anniversary day. We invited one of our friend and her family on vacation with us. They watched ours kids so that we were able to go on a date on our anniversary. She is a wonderful friend. Not only did she watched our kids on our anniversary but also took care of our food bill while we were there. She was such a blessing! God is so good!
We made it a tradition to take special pictures by the beach while at Seaside. Above is one of the pictures of our kids. They are all grown up now from the last time we were at Seaside. You can see the pictures from 5 years ago here.
Thank you for stopping by! Have a great day!

The Book of Eli is sunk by its ambition: it's a genre movie with religious pretensions, but it loses its way in the murky waters of religion.
Read Whole Story
Choosing a singer who still resides as reverend at the Full Gospel Tabernacle in Memphis, TN works a dual purpose in that "The Book of Eli" is about The Book, as in the Good Book.
Eli is very much a Hollywood movie with lots of dust-up action, big weapons and product placements that somehow survive a wiped out world where characters don't know what a television is.
This is a movie that has few ideas of its own, except for one large and highly suspect central one.

Ultra Aluminus Build with pics Hi Everyone, Switched over from my ghetto spider-bat case to the Ultra Aluminus I picked up last week. Thought I'd document the process and take some pictures in case anyone else was interested in purchasing this product. http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/7537/dscn0823small.jpg Two cases side by side. Note the poor airflow in the mid-tower. This should be resolved after moving to a full tower! http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/9933/dscn0825small.jpg Front side view. As you can see, both have doors. I like this style because it gives the case a polished look. The aluminus has the advantage of a 2nd door, making installing drives into the bays and front intake fans a cinch. http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/1323/dscn0830small.jpg The 120mm fan sits snugly in the hole. No screws to hold it in place, and the wire fits through a purposeful hold to the 3pin fan connector. You'll notice how the 3.5" panels have screws holding them in place. I snap the plastic pieces that hold these in place all the time, so I thought this features was well thought out. http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/5905/dscn0826small.jpg Taking everything out of the old case. Now you see why I call this case the "spider-bat". Picked it up at a charity yard sale for $5. http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/1935/dscn0832small.jpg Installing the hard drives took me a bit of time to figure out. This was my first experience with quick access trays, so I'm used to putting the screws in the sides. There are rubber grommets on the bottom to help reduce noise, and next to each grommet is a screw hole that is used to mount it from the bottom. Very cool. I installed them with the cables facing away from the window, naturally. http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/4441/dscn0828small.jpg The motherboard tray is a joy to work with. There are 2 screws holding it in place, and a sliding motion removes it from the base. Once removed, it's really nice to be able to work on the motherboard from all angles. http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/4732/dscn0831small.jpg Out of the way kitty! I have a rig to build! http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/5629/dscn0838small.jpg Putting the tray back in is easy as well. Just grab the provided handles and push it up against the backing. Slide it across and screw the thumbscrews back in. Very sturdy. http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/1821/dscn0834small.jpg From the back. http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/6531/dscn0839small.jpg Outtake fan and grill came with the case. I may consider putting a second fan back to back. http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/7710/dscn0840small.jpg Time for cable management. Manipulating all the power and data cables takes patience, but with all the different holes available it made the job turn out quite nice. http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/7857/dscn0841small.jpg The case also came with a front panel hookup with 2 usb, firewire, and ac97/hd audio connectors. http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/6923/dscn0844small.jpg 4870 goes in. Previously, the 2x6pin power connectors were pressing up against my sata cables. As you can see here, I have plenty of room to add a 2nd 4870! http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/6923/dscn0843small.jpg Almost done. Clean up a bit of the cables. http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/1833/dscn0849small.jpg Closing it up was a major PITA. I have one gripe about this case; that the flexible aluminum is difficult to line up on all 4 corners simultaneously when putting the sides back on. http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/5...n0852small.jpg It *dwarfs* my 22" monitor. http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/8711/dscn0850small.jpg Anyhow, I will be adding some LED filled PCBs in the next few weeks. I'm very happy with this case and I would pay the $50 again without question. If you have any questions or comments feel free to post them here. attonbitusira |
I had the very same case and I was extremely disapointed (hopefully not for you!). The front panel is super fragile (made of cheap plastic) and the airflow wasn't great. But how you arranged the cables, it's really neat. I like the look of that case, the big side panel is really nice also. But the overall build wasn't great at all. But hey it's much better than your Spider case eh ? :bleh: Really nice cable management ! :thumb: |
I had, the exact same case, its posted somewhere in the Gallery. That thing is a monster in size really. My gripes are the same as yours, the Aluminum while making it light, has too much flexibility to it, as well that DAMN powersupply bracket sucks. Other than that, the case has reasonable Airflow and good space to Jam everything you could ever want inside. For $50, you can't go wrong on that one. Good to see another one like that kicking around, Nice Build, ST |
Ultra cases are all about the bling and nothing much. They are cheap cases with a over inflated price tag. Hope you'll enjoy yours. |
I agree with you on everything except one case. The M998 is an Amazing Case to work with and in. Oh, and the X-blaster Build I did as well, that was one heavy steel case with good Airflow Dynamics and easy management inside. ST |
nice job attonbitusira :thumb: For the price the Ultra is a good value and easy to work with. I built my son's comp with the Ultra. It's looks good to him and his friends and does what it's supposed to do. Picked up the Ultra on sale at TD for $25 a while back which is pretty hard to beat imho. |
Hey I recognize that case. Oh yeah I sold it to you :biggrin: I'm glad you like it and are putting it to good use :thumb: |

A diuretic is a substance that removes water from the body by promoting urine formation and the loss of salt (sodium).
Caffeine and alcohol are common diuretics.
Diuretic medicines include furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide, metolazone, and spironolactone. These medicines may be used as part of treatment for conditions that cause swelling from water retention (edema), such as heart failure, hypertension, or liver or kidney disease.

Robert Dallek provides some insights into one of the stormiest relationships of recent years- that between Henry Kissinger and Richard Nixon in this article, there isn't really enough to make substantive comments upon, though he does allege that Kissinger played an unconstitutionally vast role in the later period of Nixon's administration- but the extracts quoted are fascinating.

Isn't that what I've been saying all along? The cabal runs the show, not the figurehead. There are enough presidents'writings to indicate that this is indeed the case.
In Bush's case, it was interesting that one of the three, Rumsfeld, took the fall for the others. - Friday, April 06, 2007 8:31:00 am

Renew Outdoor Colored Concrete with Liquid Colored Antique or Tinted Sealer
What's Right for Your Outdoor Concrete Project?
Renew outdoor colored concrete with Liquid Colored Antique or Tinted Concrete Sealer. Liquid Colored Antique is perfect for stamped or heavily textured concrete while Tinted Concrete Sealer would be preferred for smoother, lightly-broomed finishes.
Liquid Colored Antique is a flexible, easy-to-work with spray-on stain that can be applied to most outdoor concrete even previously sealed surfaces. Originally developed to restore colored and stamped outdoor concrete, liquid colored antique can be applied to textured or stamped surfaces to achieve an accented and richly colored appearance. Liquid Colored Antique is available in 40 colors and can be applied with a pump-up fence and deck sprayer, a foam brush or roller or a sponge. Popular product for blending and matching colors when exterior concrete has been repaired or damaged. This product would be preferred for driveways or any high traffic concrete. It's easy to repair if the sealer isn't maintained and looks great for years!
Direct Colors Tinted Sealer is a one-step color and sealer application that can be used indoors or out on smooth or textured concrete. AC1315 High Gloss, Sprayable Satin Finish and DCI Satin Gloss Sealers can be tinted to over 30 colors. Tinted sealer provides a solid, consistent coloration with some high and low-lights depending on concrete texture. Solvent-based tinted sealer can be sprayed or rolled. Water based tinted sealer should be rolled only for best results. Consider the level of gloss you'd prefer before you selecting a base sealer. Satin Gloss Sealers are a better choice for outdoor concrete because they are less of a slip hazard when wet.
