Oyster Mix: Lovefingers
His Australian tour kicks off this week!
Operating under the alias Lovefingers, Andrew Hogge is a disco DJ from NYC who needs no introduction to anyone vaguely involved with the dance scene. His music involvement knows no boundaries really. To give some small indication of the man's eclectic scope, know that he formerly drummed for Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti (around eight years ago), runs a collective called ESP Institute that is responsible for much dance-related satisfaction, and has this little namesake website via which a multitude of respected tunes are unearthed to a dedicated fan base. He's also starting his Australian tour this week! We have a live mix he recorded us from his set at Beatbox in San Francisco in June this year to celebrate the fact:
Lovefingers Australian tour dates:
December 21 — Slow Blow at Goodgod Small Club, Sydney
December 26 — Wednesdays at The Bird (with Michael Ozone), Perth
December 27 — Sugar, Adelaide
December 30 — Noise In My Head (live mix on RRR radio), Melbourne
December 31 — Marrickville Warehouse (with Canyons and Bell Towers), Sydney
January 1 — Animals Dancing at The Bridge (with Marcellus Pittman and Psychemagik), Melbourne

The first programming language I learned was BASIC. Not Visual Basic, kids. We're talking old fashioned Beginner's All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code, with line numbers and everything. When I was working on the first Stupid Python Trick (Hunt the Wumpus), I realized that the original Dartmouth BASIC isn't that complicated a language. So I decided to write my own BASIC interpreter in Python.
It's not exactly Dartmouth BASIC, but it's reasonably close. The link above points to a zip folder with three files in it. First is basic.py, which is a cmd based BASIC interpreter, including features for writing programs. I guess you could call it an IDE, but that would sort of be stretching it. The second file is wumpus.bsc, which is the original Hunt the Wumpus program, with slight modifications to fit with Ichabod BASIC. The third file is BF.bsc, which is a brainfuck interpreter. It just seemed perfectly silly to run a brainfuck interpreter in a BASIC interpreter in a Python interpreter. Note that BF.bsc uses integers instead of symbols for all of the commands.
WARNING: Ichabod BASIC uses eval and exec, so read over any third party BASIC programs before running them to make sure there isn't any embedded Python code.

Did you know?
About 460 million years ago massive glaciers moved across the Cederberg area causing massive changes.
The Clanwilliam Living Landscape Project is conceived around the idea of the Cederberg landscape as a time machine, that visitors can 'travel' through using the wealth of archaeological material continually discovered here – rock art, structural remains, and plant, animal and human artefacts – to connect to the lifestyle, beliefs and wisdom of our San ancestors.
At this Cederberg community-based tourism initiative, your journey begins with a full tour of the Clanwilliam Living Landscape Project, a sort of pre-flight briefing, before you're taken to the Time Machine (an old school hall). Here, your knowledgeable community guide explains how the Cederberg mountains formed, revives the areas long-forgotten San names, and describes the San heritage of the flora, rock art and the archaeological artefacts on display.
From there, you'll visit the Time Garden, where the San way of marking time and the passage of the seasons, is captured in a variety of indigenous medicinal and functional plants – like the Quiver tree, used by San hunters as a container for carrying their arrows.
Next, you'll head off on a guided tour of the Warmhoek or Sevilla rock art trails, developed by the Clanwilliam Living Landscape Project. The University of Cape Town's archaeology department has intensively educated community trail guides on the compositions, interpretation, and symbolism of the rock art motifs.
The full rock art trail comprises five sites and takes around four hours to complete. Two of the sites can only be accessed by a steep climb, so there is also the option of easier, shorter, one and two-hour tours. Whichever option you choose, you're sure to be entranced by the artistry and delicacy of these glyphs, and the ancient dialogue that flows from them.
After your tour, visit the projects' craft shop where community artisan's hand-make accessories like bags and necklaces using San mythology and traditional materials like leather, ostrich shells, and grasses as their inspiration.
If you've time, a gratis 30-minute drive through Clanwilliam town and the township of Cederville, will give you a complete picture of this region of the Cederberg, steeped in the spirit of the San, and their fossils and fables.

Embrace the festivities with a seasonal-inspired product. Lisa Haynes reveals how to smell like the spirit of Christmas.
By Lisa Haynes
From the sweet, spicy aromas of mulled wine and brandy-coated puddings, to the fresh pine of Christmas trees, fragrances form a big part of the festive season.
And an evocative scent is an instant way to lift your seasonal spirits, whether it's lighting a fragranced candle or lathering up in the tub with a warming cinnamon body wash.
When creating a special edition scent recently, fans of Treacle Moon deluged the bathing brand with requests for 'the smell of winter' - either cinnamon or stewed apple - demonstrating the appeal of seasonal scents.
Deck out your bathroom with these Christmas-inspired goodies.
Noel nuance
The Christmas tree pine leaves and waft of mulled wine may already be running through the house, but why not exaggerate the festive atmosphere with a luxurious fragranced candle?
Aveda's Holiday Soy Wax Candle features a warm and spicy aroma of ginger, ginger lily and clove to awaken your seasonal senses, £20 (0870 034 2380).
Bring some festive warmth and light into your life with Espa's Winter Spice Candle. The rich aroma is evocative of waiting up for Santa's whisky and Rudolph's carrots to disappear, £45 (www.espaonline.com).
A gold Christmas tree adorns the front of Annick Goutal's Noel Scented Candle and aptly the spicy scent is reminiscent of Siberian pine, £41 (www.escentual.com).
Festive froth
You may not decorate your bathroom but it can still smell like the contents of a Christmas stocking - a festive mix of satsumas, walnuts and chocolate coins.
Lush's Father Christmas Bath Bomb delivers with the sparkle and smell of Christmas featuring mandarin oil and orange flower absolute, £3.25 (www.lush.co.uk).
Warning: you may not want to leave the bath tub when accompanied by Treacle Moon's Warm Cinnamon Nights. The winter edition bath and shower gel is based on cosy accords of warming cinnamon, spicy clove, syrupy ginger, vanilla and a drizzle of sweet honey, topped with zesty orange and comforting stewed apple, £2.99 (Tesco).
Feel festively fruity as you lather up with Baylis & Harding's Plum Pudding soap, with notes of citrus orange, spicy clove, sweet plum and mixed berry, £3 (www.baylisandharding.com).
Seasonal skin
Your signature fragrance may not hit the right notes during the holiday season. Leave a mouth-watering aroma in your wake by layering on seasonal skincare and scent.
You're sure to smell like a scrumptious gingerbread man with Origins' Ginger Ways gift set, including Ginger Essence Sensuous skin scent, Ginger Burst Savory Body Wash, Ginger Souffle Whipped Body Cream and body puff, £34 (0800 731 4039).
OK, the gold and frankincense may be missing but Darphin has provided the third Three Kings gift with the Myrrh Aromatic Care precious essence oil. Perfect for nourishing cold-ravaged dry skin, £42 (0870 034 2566).
For a fragrance with figgy pudding connotations, spritz on Jo Malone's Wild Fig & Cassis Cologne, from £38 (0870 034 2411/www.jomalone.co.uk).
Mistletoe lips
It would be criminal to neglect your pout at Christmas. Keep all those mistletoe moments in mind and prep with Alice & Eliza's Winter Berry Lip Balm, £2.50 (Marks & Spencer), to add a rosy tint to chapped winter lips.
At last, a festive pudding that won't add extra inches to the waistline! The Lip Gloss Company's Mince Pie Lip Gloss looks and smells good enough to eat, £2.99 (www.madbeauty.com).
Get into New Year celebratory mode with Philosophy's Congratulations duo. The Pomegranate Bubbly Lip Shine is the perfect accessory for seeing in 2013, £24 (www.qvcuk.com).
Tried & Tested
Ensure your eyeshadow has staying power over the party season. Our testers trial three primers:
:: Soap & Glory It's About Prime Eyeshadow Underbase, £8 (www.boots.com)
This primer comes in two shades, Bright Light for under everyday eyeshadow, or Silver Lining for smoky eyes. The creamy formula gave my lids a smooth finish and my eyeshadow was virtually crease-free.
:: Revlon PhotoReady Eye Primer + Brightener, £9.99 (www.boots.com)
The brush applicator makes blending over eyes a cinch. The pinky tone brightened my eyes as well as priming them for eyeshadow, which looked smooth and intense over the top.
:: Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion, £14.50 (Debenhams)
A little of this primer goes a long way. I had to blend the thick, creamy texture onto my eyelids with a fingertip but my eyeshadow looked flawless all night.

Rabbit toothed dinosaur ate plants, according to a report in Nature, vol 419, p291, 19 September 2002. Chinese palaeontologists have found a small theropod dinosaur so strange the palaeontology editor of Nature suggests it should be called Looneytoonesaurus because it must have looked like a cross between Bugs Bunny and the Road Runner! (See Nature science update 19 September 2002.) The fossil has teeth similar to rabbits and other plant eating animals and has been given the scientific name Incisivosaurus because of its prominent incisors (front teeth). Theropods are the group of dinosaurs that include T. rex and Oviraptor and have always been regarded as meat eaters because most have sharp pointed teeth.
Scientists now realise this simplistic explanation of dinosaur diets needs revising. According to Washington University's (St Louis, US) Joshua Smith, (as reported on BBCNews 18 September 2002) "The classic view of predatory dinosaur teeth is that they are all basically the same and are shaped more or less like serrated steak knives. However, it is becoming more and more obvious as we begin to look closely at theropod teeth that they are far more complex than we have been led to believe, and that the steak-knife view isn't accurate."
Editorial Comment: Interesting that evolutionists are finally admitting what we have been saying for years sharp teeth don t necessarily mean their owner was a carnivore. Sharp teeth indicate the animal was good at ripping food. Sharp teeth don t tell you what that the food was.

A NAVY veteran who lost part of his leg in a car crash is set to take on another watery challenge.
Craig Howorth, 46, from Bacup, is in a team of four that will swim the English Channel to raise money for limbless veterans charity BLESMA.
The father-of-four served as a submariner in the Royal Navy from 1988 to 1993, and now works as a trail leader for Military Mountain Bikers.
He lost his right leg below-the-knee in 2006 after a road traffic accident.
He said: "Getting used to the water temperature is going to be the biggest problem.
"With the tide the Channel becomes more like 30 or 40 miles and it's going to be so cold. We're aiming to do it in 13 hours – that's the average time.
"The temperature could cause problems with our stumps. They don't have as much circulation as able-bodied limbs."
The group will swim the Channel in September, but in order to be allowed to take on the challenge they have to complete a confirmatory swim – a continuous swim of at least two hours in open water which will take place on Saturday, June 21, from Swimmer's Beach near Dover.
Mr Howorth, a dad-of-four, has been preparing for the 22.5-mile relay by swimming in Salford Quays.
He said swimming had played a big part in his recovery after the accident.
"Swimming was the only thing I could do," he said. "I started to walk and took it from there.
"I'm probably fit enough to do the swim. I'm in Rossendale Triathlon Club and swam Coniston Water recently."
He will be joined on the swim by Stephen White, Jamie Gillespie and Conrad Thorpe. The men will not be allowed to wear wetsuits and have chosen not to wear their prosthetic limbs.

Xerox-proprietary solid ink technology received the 2011 BERTL's Best award for Best Eco-Friendly Ink Technology. With solid ink's cartridge-free design and minimal packaging, there is less to manufacture, no empty toner cartridges to dispose of or recycle, and less storage space required than comparable laser devices. In fact, solid ink printers and multifunction printers produce 90 percent less waste during use than comparable laser devices.
October 11, 2011
BERTL awarded the ColorQube 9300 Series multifunction printer a 5-Star "Exceptional" rating, noting the device's vibrant image quality, fast print and copy productivity and excellent ease of use. BERTL also noted the ColorQube 9300 Series Hybrid Color Plan enables monochrome and useful color pages at the same cost per page.
October 2011
Solid Ink is formulated from a non-toxic, resin-based polymer, similar to a crayon. Solid Ink sticks are safe to handle and cannot spill, leak or smudge on your clothes.
Stringent manufacturing ensures colours are consistent from stick to stick and page to page. 100% of all ink is inspected.
Watch how simple it is to load Solid Ink sticks.
The cyan, magenta, yellow and black Solid Ink sticks are clearly numbered and specially shaped so they drop into the correct slots for easy loading.
You can load multiple Solid Ink sticks for long, uninterrupted printing and "top off" the ink at any time.
Because of Solid Inks cartridge-free design, its packaging is small enough to easily fit in your desk drawer. And there is no cartridge to deplete or dispose of.
This is when Solid Ink changes from a solid to a liquid and back in seconds, and everyday paper transforms into rich-looking documents.
The Solid Ink printing process works similar to a mini offset press and consistently prints vibrant images on virtually any paper, including recycled paper.
Preparing to Print
The long-life maintenance roller quickly applies a microscopic layer of silicone oil to the heated drum for reliable ink release.Advantages:
Ink Bonding
As the ink on the drum transfers to the paper, it penetrates the paper's fibres, but without the spreading of liquid inkjets or the toner scattering of laser. The ink cools and solidifies immediately, forming a strong, permanent bond to the paper. Total time for the print process: as little as 5 seconds.Advantages:
Two-sided printing
The sheet of paper is not fully ejected into the exit tray but is fed back into the printer through the duplex paper path. The print process repeats with the second image on the drum transferred to the other side of the sheet of paper.Advantages:
The ink loader draws ink from Solid Ink sticks instead of a self-contained toner cartridge. Ink can be replaced or added at any time.Advantages:
More consistent print quality page after page and on any media, including recycled paper.
(available in English only)
Easier to use with no cartridges to load and unload, and no mess.
Less waste with no cartridges to dispose of, and far less packaging.
Low run cost compared with colour laser printing technology.
No paper curling or wrinkling that often plagues inkjet and colour laser printers.
Faster than inkjet technology.
No special paper needed, unlike some inkjet printers.
Prints a wider range of colours than most colour laser devices.
Fewer parts so less can go wrong.

Another important element of the ExamSoft platform is the analytics it provides to make it easier for instructors to see patterns in the topics individual students are struggling with, Ermie said. "That's kind of amped up our usage and changed our intentions for what the software was good for," leading to an increased emphasis on measuring student performance "in more different ways, more frequently" to help them develop into competent physicians, he said.
Although the cadaver exam is a colorful example, the more typical scenario for ExamSoft testing, whether on the iPad or a laptop, is for proctored testing in a classroom or at a test center. Students are often encouraged to download the exam in advance, so as to avoid overloading the network with everyone downloading it at once. The file is encrypted, preventing them from starting or viewing an exam until the proctor gives the code to unlock it. In the case of a timed test, unlocking the test also starts the timer. When the test is complete, the app packages up the student's answers and sends them back to the test server.
This mode of delivery means the computerized tests are not "online" in the sense of requiring continuous network access and won't be interrupted by a glitch in a school building's Internet access. ExamSoft VP of business development Jason Gad said that's often the hardest part of his sales pitch, given that people have become so used to thinking of all interactive applications being Web-based. Skeptics are often halfway through explaining that Web-based testing won't work for their purposes when he finally gets his point across. "You can almost hear the sigh," he said, when they realize network access won't be an obstacle after all.
In fact, it's possible to give these examinations in locations with no wireless network access as long as students remember to download the exam in advance and upload the results afterward from home or the nearest Starbucks.
Instructors create tests through the ExamSoft Web application, which lets them enter a "question bank" of questions they can assemble and reorder for each test they give. Questions can include images, such as diagnostic imagery for medical students to evaluate; video; or PDFs. Including a lot of multimedia will also include the size of the download file for an exam. The ExamSoft software also helps instructors balance out their tests using Bloom's Taxonomy to determine whether they have the right mix of different types of questions, such as those requiring straight recall of facts versus others requiring synthesis of information.
Simply by checking a box, an instructor can require that the test be delivered in secure mode, which locks down the iPad or laptop to display just the testing application, with network access and access to other applications disabled. It's also possible to use the software for an open-book test, which might still be timed but allow students to search the Web and other resources to their heart's content. About 96% of the time, instructors choose the locked-down mode, Gad said, although that's starting to change as more instructors begin to use the software for early, proactive assessments rather than only for exams.

HOUSTON - Days before Valentine's, viewers are asking KPRC Local 2 investigative reporter Amy Davis how to get the biggest bang for your buck on flowers.
The average consumer will spend about $80 on flowers this year, so you'd like to make sure your sweetheart's bouquet reflects the hard-earned money you shelled out.
Davis asked the experts for advice how on to make sure you get what you pay for.
We showed you what we received when we ordered flowers from four online floral companies.
Local florists tell us that was our first mistake.
When you order flowers through a big company online, what's called a wire service, they turn around and give your order to a local florist. But they don't pass along everything that you paid.
For example, after delivery costs, we paid $50.97 for an arrangement through ProFlowers. The local florist who made it and delivered it only got $39.99. ProFlowers kept the rest.
Remember the arrangements floral students said looked nothing like the pictures featured on the flower Web sites?
Apparently, there's a reason for that.
Local florists tell us no one business can possibly have every ribbon, every vase and every flower offered by the big floral companies online. They send you what they have in stock.
"We really recommend that you work with a local florist," said Jim Lerdal, the owner of the Houston School of Floral Design. "The local florists are invested in you. They're interested in having you back as a customer again, and you know where they are."
Lerdal says there's more to learn about his industry than how to arrange a bouquet, like letting the experts call some of the shots.
"A nice thing that we recommend is that you ask the florist, 'What do you recommend?'" said Lerdal. "I want to spend about $70. What can you do for $70?"
And guys: you can do something other than roses.
Sue Habib of Lexis Florist said lilies, orchids and alstromerias are also good picks. All can be less expensive and longer-lasting alternatives to roses.
But whatever you order, order soon. Since Valentine's Day falls on a Sunday this year, a lot of people want the arrangements delivered on Friday.
Lerdal says you should also pay for your order with a credit card. If the arrangement is sub par, and the florist won't make it right, you can always dispute the charges with your card company.
If you have a consumer question to "Ask Amy," send her an e-mail.Copyright 2006 by Click2Houston.com. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.

Why delete, the article just needs to be fleshed out.
Like Hidan, Naruto's KN4 state was just cloned by Kabuto's Cellular Snake technique. So we should keep it and acknowledge it as a separate character to Naruto himself.--SuperSaiyaMan (talk) 20:04, December 6, 2012 (UTC)
- Unless he is given a name, this article shouldn't meant to be. This is just like when Dark Naruto showed up.--OmegaRasengan (talk) 21:31, December 6, 2012 (UTC)
- This page is needless, just mention this on Naruto Uzumaki's Jinchūriki Forms --Speysider Talk Page | My Image Uploads | Tabber Code | My Wiki | Channel 21:32, December 6, 2012 (UTC)
I'm not so sure. Unlike Dark Naruto, this thing is a distinct physical entity. Not to mention that unlike the Jinchuriki forms, this thing is solely the Kyuubi mode in Naruto's body. Then there's the other data for it, Like Miina detecting its presence within Naruto and its appearance in her dreams, that freaky eye covered version. Basically, while there's not a lot to go on right now I will admit, there's definitely going to be more and rather than clutter Naruto's Article all about this thing's notes or stuffing the Jinchuriki form page with non-canon data not about the real Kurama, we should make the article now and work on it later. If nothing else, fixing up this article gives us something to go back to when more data accumulates, like I did with the Resurrected Shinobi. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 21:52, December 6, 2012 (UTC)
Then we should also separate "recreated Hidan" from "Hidan" article and make him his own, the same for "clone Naruto"--Elveonora (talk) 22:09, December 6, 2012 (UTC)
Not really, Recreated Hidan in no way differs from the original. Same weapon, same skills, same memories and is existing at a point where the Real Hidan's Significance to the series has ceased. This thing is existing concurrently to the real Naruto and Kurama and is distinct from them in several ways. It has Kurama's chakra and mindset, but Naruto's body. If this were Dragonball you wouldn't call Vegeto the same as Goku and Vegeta, right? --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 22:22, December 6, 2012 (UTC)
You are right, I'm for keeping, but should be renamed simply to "Naruto Clone" or "Jinchuriky Clone" as for Hidan, the real one is possibly still alive, so writing what a clone does to his article makes little sense to me even if they are almost the same--Elveonora (talk) 22:27, December 6, 2012 (UTC)
True, out of all these sorts of discussions of late, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, this and Hidan, the latter by far blurs that line the closest. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 22:42, December 6, 2012 (UTC)
I see no point in this article existing. All the ways this differs from the actual one can be mentioned in other articles, like Naruto's Jinchuriki Forms, or the Body Recreation Technique. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:20, December 7, 2012 (UTC)
- Correct me if I'm wrong, but this thing was created by Kabuto's Cellular Snake Technique yes? I don't really think this deserves an article either, a mention of it would suffice in the Cellular Snake Technique article. Hell, it could easily be a redirect to the Chikaru Arc section of Naruto's page (ala Hidan's page). It being a weird snake clone and not a truly independent thing works against it.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 05:20, December 7, 2012 (UTC)
Terrible arc or not, it's our job to document this stuff as a wiki. Though I personally kinda like it so far, I will admit the Hidan and Naruto doubles do seem a bit forced. Course I pretty much feel that way whenever the anime tries to force in Kurama's power when its really not needed. Still, that's not the point. At the very least if it does take on different properties and abilities as I suspect it will, it would then warrant this article, wouldn't it? We can just delete it and later restore it as Cerez suggested for the resurrected Shinobi if more data pops up for them. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 09:37, December 7, 2012 (UTC)
- It's easier to restore after period of time than it is to delete. As of now, this article would better serve as part of Naruto_Uzumaki#Chikara_Arc (ala Hidan) or Cellular Serpent Technique.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 12:57, December 7, 2012 (UTC)
- The summary of the next episode's trailer called it The Nine-Tailed Naruto Clone (九尾化したナルトのクローン, Kyūbi kashita Naruto no Kurōn). And about the deletion, I suggest to wait till next week to see if this clone could be able to use some new techniques and abilities. —Shakhmoot (Talk) 11:27, December 8, 2012 (UTC)
Well there was already that multi-eyed freak version from Miina's vision which fired chakra blasts all over. I'm not saying we add that now, but if that does turn out to be this thing she was seeing, that rather warped appearance and ability would be worth bringing up. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 11:41, December 8, 2012 (UTC)
- I'd say keep the article, but move it to Nine-Tailed Naruto Clone, as its referred to on the official website. And, honestly, I'd say that Hidan's clone should also have its own page (Hidan Clone), even if there's not much to it and it references back to the main Hidan article. These are seperate living entities, akin to Zetsu and Spiral Zetsu (who have articles seperate from Hashirama Senju, despite being cloned from his genetic material). How minor a character is doesn't seem like it should factor into whether or not they should have an article, especially considering how some extremely minor characters have their own pages. I don't get why there's resistance to being all-inclusive when it comes to these two characters. Also, on a personal note, this is far from a "terrible" arc, in fact it far excedes the quality of the average Naruto story (even canon material). The direction and cinematography in particular is excellent and has an almost Ghibli-esque quality, to say nothing of the animation itself, which is stellar. FF-Suzaku (talk) 03:18, December 9, 2012 (UTC)
i think we should wait because, from the summaries of the uncoming last 3 episodes of chikara, this clone will have an important role to the plot —This unsigned comment was made by 220.127.116.11 (talk • contribs) .

THE chairman of the local Conservative association which deselected North Yorkshire MP Anne McIntosh has denied she was branded "a silly little girl".
Thirsk and Malton MP Anne McIntosh was voted down as the party's candidate for the constituency at the next General Election on Friday following a long-running row with local activists, although she said she still intends to fight the seat.
Interviewed for the BBC's Sunday Politics show, Peter Steveney, who chairs the local party association, responded to claims that opponents of Miss McIntosh – Yorkshire's only female Tory MP and chair of an influential Commons select committee – had called her "a silly little girl" .
He said: "Certainly not – it sounds rather like the typical sort of thing Anne's supporters would put out and I'm pretty appalled by that sort of comment."
The dispute has been the subject of an investigation by the Conservative Party hierarchy. Bassetlaw MP John Mann said: "The Tory party clearly has a real problem with women – it has seen two women MPs in the north stand down in their first term and now a third one has been booted out."
Philip Davies, Conservative MP for Shipley, said he was "shocked" by Miss McIntosh's deselection.
He said: "She works very hard in the House of Commons and I feel very sorry for her, but our local associations have the right to decide who they want to be their candidate. It's clearly not the issue that Anne McIntosh is a woman otherwise she wouldn't have been selected in the first place. All we want are the best people in every constituency, irrespective of whether they are men or women."

"Absolutely love how the cards turned out! We received so many complements from our family and friends. I used one of our engagement shots and added the ceremony details to personalize. The process was simple and shipping was fast. Customer service was excellent too."
"I honestly cannot say enough about the customer service, customization process, and this beautiful invitation! I was SO nervous to order my wedding invitations online, but I will be telling all my friends to order from wedding paper divas! I was able to COMPLETLY customize my invitations and RSVP's to have the exact format and look I was wanting. Upgrading to the thicker paper is completely worth it for the price! I am beyond happy."
"Loved that I could personalize the card with my colors and wording. Also, getting to see an example of my product before finalizing the order was very reassuring!"
"These could not have turned out any better! The color was amazing and customer service was quick to fix proof before sending out!"
"invitation just as pictured; great quality and colors. This is was exactly what I imagined and it goes so well with my simple but elegant theme"

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/11/2012 (1744 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Nothing they did -- nothing anyone could do -- was going to assuage a loss so monumental and so raw.
And so rather than trying, the Kelvin Clippers instead paid quiet tribute in triumph last night.
Having dedicated Friday night's Free Press Bowl to their late classmate, Julia Romanow, the Clippers promptly went out on a frozen field at Canad Inns Stadium and won it too, holding off a late charge by the Grant Park Pirates to capture a 31-28 victory in the final of the Winnipeg High School Football Vidruk Division (AA).
"We're a big family. The team is a family, the school is a family and we just lost one of our family members," said Clippers head coach Jon Romu.
"I think the guys played with a lot emotion, especially at the start of the game, knowing it's not just a football game. Someone's lost their life and life is more important than football. These guys came out and showed they have heart and they wanted to play and they did."
Romanow was the 17-year-old Grade 12 Kelvin student who died Nov. 1 in a car accident on Wellington Crescent when a fellow student who was driving lost control and struck a tree. The driver was charged this week in Romanow's death.
With Romanow's initials emblazoned on their helmets, the Clippers got two first-half touchdowns from running back Avery Sharpe en route to a 28-7 first-half lead and then hung on as the Pirates stormed back in the second half.
A pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns by Grant Park's Michael Ritchott -- the first on a punt return, the second a two-yard touchdown run with just 11 seconds remaining -- made the final score close, but this night belonged to the Clippers.
"We had her in our hearts in the game. And we truly won that game for her," said Sharpe. "The atmosphere in the school all week -- it's been tough. It's good to have something that we've done for Julia in this way."
The victory was also a measure of vindication for a Kelvin program that went winless last season. "I'm proud of the guys who stepped up," said Kelvin quarterback Kristian D'Ignazio. "We were 0-8 last year and now we're on top. It feels so good."

A: LCSA is involved in your case:
You can also contact your local child support agency (LCSA) and find out if they have a case for you. Or you can contact the family law facilitator for help.
A: The local child support agency always gets involved in cases where 1 of the parents is getting public assistance for the child or the child is in foster care. So if you or the other parent of your child is getting some kind of welfare for your child, the LCSA will get involved.
You can also get the help of the LCSA to get child support even if you are not on public assistance. If neither you nor the other parent is on public assistance but the LCSA is involved, it is probable that the other parent went to the LCSA to get help with child support.
A: No. The LCSA does not represent the parents or the children. The LCSA lawyers are not your lawyers. You are not a legal client, and the information you give the LCSA is not confidential.
Also, LCSA lawyers can give certain information about your case to other agencies, the other parent, or the other parent's employer or lawyer.
Parents have the right to get advice from a private lawyer or legal aid agency at any time. You can also get legal information and help from the family law facilitator at your court.
A: The local child support agency has a lot of cases. They try to process their cases in a way that is fair to everyone. You can speed up your case by filing your own motion to change support. If you need assistance preparing your motion, you can get assistance from the family law facilitator. The local child support agency will still be involved in your case.
You must have a case open in which to file a motion for child support. If you do not have such a case, you will have to start one.
To get a child support order or to change the amount of a child support order:
A: Yes. If you and the other parent are in agreement about the support, the family law facilitator can help you prepare your agreement to submit to the court.
If you need help to reach an agreement, mediation can help you solve disagreements about money issues, like spousal/partner and child support and property. In some counties the family law facilitator can provide some child support mediation services.
You can also hire a private mediator to help you agree about money AND parenting issues. But it is not required. Private mediators are usually lawyers or mental health professionals. They usually charge between $50 and $250 an hour. Usually both parties share this cost.
To learn more about how mediation can help you, read Alternative Dispute Resolution: Options for Resolving Your Dispute or contact the family law facilitator in your county.
A: You should give a lot of thought to all the facts in your case before you decide to file a motion to change a child support order. The results can be different than what you expected.
For example, if you are the one paying support, the amount you pay may actually increase if the other parent's income went down. If you are the one getting support for the child, the support may go down if the other parent's income went down.
A: If you have a judgment in your case (your divorce has been completed, or there is a judgment of paternity), you can have someone serve a Request for Production of an Income and Expense Declaration After Judgment (Form FL-396) on the other parent, along with an Income and Expense Declaration (Form FL-150).
The other parent who receives your Request must fill out the Income and Expense Declaration and return it to you within 30 days after it was served. At the same time, the other parent must also send a copy of his or her most recent state and federal tax returns. Please note that these forms (FL-396 and FL-150) must be served by someone who is not a party to your case and who is over the age of 18 years; you CANNOT serve the papers yourself.
A: If you have not received a response after 35 days, or if the Income and Expense Declaration does not have complete wage information, you can send the other parent's employer a Request for Income and Benefit Information from Employer (Form FL-397). You can set the date by which the employer must send you the information, but you must allow at least 15 days. You must also send a copy of this form to the other parent.
The employer and the other parent must be served by certified mail, with postage fully prepaid and return receipt requested. Or you can have Form FL-397 personally served on the employer and the other parent by someone who is not a party to your case and who is over the age of 18 years. Learn more about Service of Process.
A: If you make more money than the other parent, you may still have to pay some child support or share costs such as employment-related child care or uninsured medical costs.
A: The court can give you credit for other child support orders that you are actually paying and for other children in your home that you support. The court usually does not give credit for stepchildren or grandchildren.
A: The amount of time that the children are with you is a factor in calculating child support. And, as a general rule, the more time you have your children, the less child support you will have to pay because you are spending more money to support that child when that child is in your home. The court considers the actual amount of time you spend with the child, not just what is ordered.
But the child support formula is complicated and it does not always work out this way. Other factors, like the other parent's income and whether or not he or she receives public assistance, can end up making your child support the same (or even more) even if you have the children more often.
A: It is illegal for any employer to discriminate, retaliate, or fire an employee because of the existence of a wage assignment. If you believe your employer is discriminating against you or let you go only because of the wage assignment, talk to a lawyer or your family law facilitator. Click for help finding a lawyer.
A: Child support payments are automatically suspended (temporarily stopped) when the person who has to pay child support is in jail or prison or is institutionalized against his or her will for more than 90 days. The child support payments are only stopped after the first 90 consecutive days of jail or being institutionalized. Once the person who has to pay support is released from jail or from the involuntary institutionalization, child support payments start again at the amount they were before they were suspended.
There are 3 exceptions to the rule suspending child support payments. Child support payments will NOT be suspended or stopped if:
If the local child support agency is involved in your case and they did not stop the child support payments while the person who has to pay was in jail or institutionalized, the person who has to pay can ask them (without going to court) to get credit for the time they were in jail or institutionalized. Remember that the child support is only stopped after the first 90 days of them being in jail or institutionalized.

Once the person who has to pay support is released from jail or from the involuntary institutionalization, child support payments start again at the amount they were before they were suspended. If you need to change the amount because you are not working or cannot afford the same payments you were making before going to jail or being institutionalized, you have to ask the court to change your payment.

Remember that the child support is only stopped after the first 90 days of you being in jail or institutionalized.
A: In general, you have to file a request in court to end the child support. This request is called a motion. If you have a case with the local child support agency, you may be able to get your child support ended without having to go to court. Find out if you can just bring the LCSA proof that your child is no longer a minor and has graduated from high school, and that child support should be stopped. If the agency does not agree, you will need to file a motion with the court. If you were the parent ordered to pay support and you now have the child, you will still need to file a motion to either end support or get support from the other parent. If you do not change the court order, the other parent may be able to enforce the order you did not change.
If you owe any back child support, you will have to continue making payments until you pay it off. If there are any other children under the age of 18 from the relationship, you may need to file a motion to change your child support order.
If you need help, the family law facilitator can help you find out if you need to go to court, and if you do, help you with your paperwork. Find out how to file papers to change your support order.
A: If you were never served with any papers, you may be able to have the default and judgment canceled (or "set aside"). But you must act as soon as you find out that there was a default or judgment for support. If you do not act as soon as you find out about the default or judgment for support, the court may refuse to cancel the judgment.
This is a very complicated problem. Contact a family law facilitator or lawyer for help as soon as possible. Click for help finding a lawyer.
A: You may not be able to cancel (or "set aside") a judgment if you were served correctly. There may be some exceptions, but it is a complicated problem. Contact a family law facilitator or a lawyer for help as soon as possible. Remember: you must act as soon as you find out about the default or judgment! Click for help finding a lawyer.
Getting a court to cancel a judgment is difficult, particularly if the judgment is over 6 months old. If you cannot get the judgment canceled, there are other things you may be able to do. You can file a motion to change the support based on how much money you make. You can also ask the court to set a monthly payment so you can repay what you owe for back support in installments. This is called "arrearage" (back support).
Alert! The child support order will stay in effect even if you have no income or less income unless you ask the court to change the court order. The court will only change a child support amount for future payments, starting from the day you file papers asking for the change. The court will not be able to lower past child support amounts. Any arrearage (back support) will include interest, which is currently 10 percent per year. This can add up to a lot of money.
A: You can file a Notice of Motion for Judicial Review of License Denial (Form FL-670). This form asks the court to consider giving you back your license. The court will make the final decision, not the local child support agency.
Get the forms to help you get your license back. The family law facilitator can also help you fill out the forms you need and explain the process.
A: If your judgment for child support was based on a "presumed income," you ONLY have 1 year from the date of the first collection of money by the local child support agency to file a Notice and Motion to Cancel (Set Aside) Support Order Based on Presumed Income (Form FL-640). Read the Information Sheet for Notice and Motion to Cancel (Set Aside) Support Order Based on Presumed Income (Form FL-640-INFO) to learn more and see instructions.
WARNING: Do NOT WAIT to file your motion. Your deadline for filing may be less than 1 year in certain situations. Get help from the family law facilitator or talk to a lawyer. Click for help finding a lawyer.
If appropriate given the circumstances of your case, the court may set aside (cancel) the original support order and recalculate the guideline amount based on your actual income, or possibly your income earning ability, for the period of time for which a support judgment was entered.
You cannot use Form FL-640 to say that you are not the child's parent. If you want to say you are not the child's parent, talk to the family law facilitator or a lawyer as soon as can. These cases are very complicated. Click for help finding a lawyer.
If your child support order is NOT based on presumed income, talk to the family law facilitator to see if there is any other way to file a motion to cancel (set aside) the judgment. There are some reasons that the court may accept to set aside a judgment, but setting aside judgments is very difficult.
A: Since July 1, 1992, all local child support agencies must charge interest on all back child support. The money that you pay will be applied to current child support first and back child support next. Interest is usually the last charge to be calculated by the agency. Interest is:
A: In general, the court only uses the parents' income for calculation of child support. However, the court can inquire about your spouse's income for the purpose of determining what effect the spouse's income will have in determining your after-tax income, and in unusual cases, for other purposes.
A: Child support money you pay is:
A: If the Local Child Support Agency is involved in your case, it is required to charge interest on all past-due child support. Interest is usually the last charge to be calculated by the Department of Child Support Services. The interest it charges is:
A: NO. Back child support cannot be canceled in a bankruptcy proceeding. Once it is owed, it will always be owed, until paid. You cannot use bankruptcy to get out of having to pay your child support obligation.
A: The court may, after careful consideration, set an income to be used in computing child support that is higher than the parent's actual income. This might happen:
A parent's earning capacity is determined based on both the parent's ability and opportunity to work.
A: The court will set an order based on a parent's "earning capacity" only if 3 factors are satisfied:
If the court looks at those 3 factors and determines that the parent should be earning money, it will base the child support order on what the court believes is that parent's earning capacity.
A: If it appears to the court that a parent who could work is not working and not making serious efforts to find work, the court may make a "seek-work" order.
Even if a parent is not working, the court may order him or her to pay an amount of support consistent with what it believes that parent could earn. This is known as the parent's "earning capacity."
A: A person who owes support and willfully fails to pay is ignoring a court order to pay support, so he or she can be prosecuted for being in contempt of court and may go to jail. This enforcement tool is generally used as a last resort when all other efforts to collect support have failed. If you are being charged with contempt of court and could face criminal charges, you have the right to a lawyer. If you cannot afford a lawyer, ask the court to appoint one for you.
A: Federal and California laws require that every child support order include an order for "medical support." (See 45 Code of Federal Regulations section 302.56(3) and California Family Code sections 3750 through 3753). This means that the court will order the non-custodial parent to provide health insurance for the child as long as it is available at a "reasonable cost." (See California Family Code section 3751).
You should also know that:
If you do not think you can afford to pay your medical support order, you can file 2 forms to ask the court to change or end the order:
If you or your child is in need of access to more affordable health insurance, you may wish to contact Covered California. Covered California can help reduce the cost you pay towards high quality affordable health care. For more information visit www.coveredca.com or call Covered California at 1-800-300-1506
A: Termination of parental rights means that a person is no longer considered to be the parent of the child. If the court terminates a parent's rights, then he or she is no longer responsible for the child.
In general:
You are required to provide financial support for your child whether or not you visit the child. Also, if your rights have been terminated, you still owe the child support that was ordered before your rights were terminated.
A: Every state has an agency to enforce child support orders. States must cooperate with each other to collect both current and back child support and locate parents and their assets. Laws may be different from state to state, but all child support agencies help each other. Federal laws require every state to enact the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA). UIFSA requires states to work together to establish and enforce child support orders from other states.
If the local child support agency is involved with your case, contact them and let them know that the other parent has moved and give them any information you have about the parent's new address or work
A: If you and the other parent live in different states, you may use the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA) to enforce your child support order.
Trying to enforce child support across state lines is very difficult. You may want to open a case with the local child support agency to help you enforce your order. The local child support agency will work with child support agencies in other states locate and enforce child support for you.
A: If you think the LCSA is not handling your child support case properly, you may file a complaint with the LCSA. The LCSA has a complaint resolution system to resolve complaints about customer service, timeliness of service, payment and billing issues, and decisions to close a child support case. Complaint forms are available on the California Department of Child Support Services website.

The following is an example of some of the nice letters we receive- this one from the other side of the world! In June of 2007, Bob received a message from Nebojsa Spasojevic (Nesa) on our website. Nesa owns a small milling and baking company in Serbia and wrote to invite Bob to come speak at a seminar being held there for Serbian millers.
Nesa wrote, "Serbian millers often ask us about new ideas or what is next in milling industry and my answer in the last 3 years is "do as Bob's Red Mill does"."
Bob was unable to attend the seminar but communicated with Nesa several times to gather together all the appropriate and helpful information he could send.
Today Bob received the following email and pictures from Nesa:
Dear Mr. Bob,
You are responsible for my new habit of bread eating. For almost 6 months I have been milling and baking my own bread. I have installed a small stone mill and home bakery machine in my kitchen and spend only 10 minutes in milling and preparing everything before pushing the button on the baking machine. Almost two years ago, when you were unable to participate in our Milling Days conference, I had a presentation about you and your magnificent production. From that time you and your mill is well known here in Serbia.
Best regards to you, your wife and all Bob's Red Mill crew.
Neboja Spasojevic

Nuts About Pistachiosby Dana Angelo White in Healthy Recipes, February 8, 2012
No other nut boasts an emerald hue like the pistachio does. Find out what you're getting when you crack open a pistachio.
Pistachio Basics
Commonly grown in Turkey and Iran, 98 perecent of the American crop of pistachios is grown in California. You can spot these distinctive nuts by their tan outer shell and the small green nut peaking out (the shell splits open when the nuts are ripe). Pistachios are available shelled or unshelled, salted or unsalted. Some research suggests that shelled nuts are a better choice for portion control– having to pop open the shell slows you down when munching.
Nutrition Facts
A one-ounce portion of pistachios (about 50 pieces) has 157 calories, 13 grams of fat, 3 grams of fiber and 6 grams of protein. You'll also be crunching on an ample amount of iron, thiamin and vitamin B6. Pistachios also rank highest among nuts in the antioxidant department.
What To Do With Pistachios
Crush up pistachios to make a coating for chicken or fish. Sprinkle chopped nuts to add crunch to salads and grain dishes or blend with herbs for a fresh take on pesto. The sweet and nutty flavor can also jazz up cookies, fruit salad, yogurt parfaits and frozen yogurt. To enhance the flavor, toast in a dry pan or 375-degree oven for 5 minutes before using. Or try the following simple recipe, courtesy of Pistachio Health.
Pistachios + Aged Gouda + Gala Apple Wedges Drizzled with Lavender Honey + Cold Ginger Beer (in photo above)
A delicate hint of salted, dry-roasted pistachios counterbalance the caramel-like sweetness of aged Gouda to blend naturally with the crisp juiciness of Gala apples. Lavender honey adds a fragrant, sweet earthiness that brings out the pistachios' own earthy flavor.
Thinly slice Gala apples and arrange on a platter; drizzle with lavender honey and serve alongside chunks of aged Gouda and bowls brimming with pistachios.
Shopping and Storage Tips
Store nuts in a sealed container or bag. Refrigerate for up to 3 months or for an extra long shelf life (up to 1 year), store in the freezer.
Recipes to Try:
Orange-Pistachio Wild Rice Salad
Figs with Ricotta and Honey
Couscous with Pistachios and Scallion
Honey Pistachio Biscotti
Orzo Salad with Fresh Apricots, Pistachios and Ginger Oil
Pistachio-Parsley Pesto
Toasted Israeli Couscous
Fruit Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing

Jill Laster is the language access specialist at the National Sexual Violence Resource Center.
As you've probably already heard, LGBTQ rights are all over the news today. As I am reading the stories, I've also been thinking a lot about the relationships among feminism, social justice, and sexual violence.
For me, feminism is making sure women have the same rights as men. Period. Full stop. But, of course, it's never as simple as it sounds. That's especially true because our work as feminists doesn't exist in a bubble – you can't take social justice and "divide it up among the movements." The idea of making laws, cultural norms, and agencies accessible to everyone means that every single marginalized group must have a seat at the table.
That's a long way to say: We're all in this together. Additionally, social justice movements are inextricably linked to anti-sexual violence work. Why? Every single marginalized – and privileged – group is affected by sexual violence and everyone deserves a voice in the help or resources they receive.
There are a lot of great resources that discuss the collective social justice movement, LGBTQ rights, and feminism. In this post, I wanted to share just a few of our resources – and some other favorites – that specifically discuss sexual violence in LGBTQ communities:
Sexual Violence & Individuals Who Identify as LGBTQ Information Packet
This packet by the NSVRC and the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape includes:
- An annotated bibliography
- A research brief
- A resource list
- Talking about gender & sexuality guide
- Creating inclusive agencies guide
- Process of coming out guide
- Impact of discrimination guide
- Hate & bias-motivated crimes guide
- Impact on individuals & communities guide
- Sexual harassment & bullying of youth guide
- Transformative prevention programming guide
National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey: 2010 Findings on Victimization by Sexual Orientation
This report pulls out national survey data to discuss sexual-violence victimization in the U.S. against gay, lesbian, and bisexual individuals. A fact sheet is available through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) giving a brief overview of the findings; The CDC also has a good site on LGBT health.
Setting the Stage: Strategies For Supporting LGBTIQ Survivors
This 28-page guide from the Washington Coalition of Sexual Assault Programs provides an overview for advocates on providing support to LGBTIQ survivors.
Lesbian / Gay / Bisexual / Transgender / Queer or Questioning resource list by the National Center on Domestic and Sexual Violence
NCDSV has created a comprehensive list of resources and tools that advocates and other allies can use.
The organization FORGE hosts a number of resources, discussions, and trainings related to violence against transgender individuals, including sexual violence.
Again, these are just a few of the many resources out there on sexual violence and LGBTQ communities. I would love to hear some of your favorites. If you have any questions on this topic, you can also email our staff.

HOUSTON - A family filed a lawsuit against a restaurant after a customer died in an alcohol-related crash.
Robert Wilhite, 58, died in a single-vehicle crash in August 2011. Investigators said he lost control of his pickup truck on Cypresswood Drive, hit a curb and was thrown out of the vehicle.
Shortly before his death, Wilhite was drinking alcohol at Baker Street Pub and Grill on state Highway 249 near Gessner.
Wilhite's family claims that the restaurant should have stopped serving him alcohol.
"Baker Street was negligent in allowing Wilhite to consume alcohol to the point of intoxication," the lawsuit reads. "Wilhite was obviously intoxicated to the extent that he presented a clear danger to himself and others."
The lawsuit puts the responsibility on the managers, bartenders and wait staff.
Wilhite's neighbors said his family was shocked by his death.
"He was a really good guy," neighbor Ken Barker said. "He was in the Boy Scouts and went to the same church we did."
The lawsuit seeks damages for pain and suffering and loss of companionship, but does not specify a dollar amount.
Baker Street Pub is owned by Hospitality USA, which operates several other pubs in the Houston area. No one with the company responded to KPRC Local 2's request for a statement.
A trial date has not been set, but sources close to the case said a settlement is possible.

The Blind Find Hope, Jobs Through Ohio Center
In 2003, Bertram was living the good life. He was a manager for an auto parts company with a healthy income. He oversaw 16 stores and 120 employees. But he had diabetes and didn't know it. The disease stole his vision.
The 48-year-old went blind in his left eye. After multiple surgeries, he has some vision in his right eye, but not much. "I can see the big E, sometimes, on the vision chart," Bertram said.
He had to give up his job because he could no longer drive. "That was pretty devastating," he said. "Top of the world one minute, slammed to the ground the next."
By 2004, Bertram reached his lowest point. He took the garbage out to the front of his house and got turned around. So close to home, he was totally lost. He walked around in circles, disoriented and embarrassed, before he finally found the tree in front of his house. "I realized then," he said, "that I needed help."
Bertram went to Clovernook Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired in North College Hill. Clovernook was formed in 1903 with money from William A. Procter. Its mission was to provide a home and employment to blind women. It now helps men and women.
And help is needed. The American Foundation for the Blind says that 75 percent of the blind and seriously visually impaired are "not in the labor force." Some are unemployed, many have just stopped looking for work.
Bertram walked through the door at Clovernook humbled but hopeful. "I didn't know what to think," he said. "I didn't know what would happen, but I had hope."
Bertram was given a white cane and mobility training, allowing him to walk more efficiently and safely. Next, he needed job training. The organization had a government contract to provide legal file folders, the kind with prongs on the top to hold large files. His first job was creasing the folders and using a fastener machine to put the prongs on the top. It was a far cry from overseeing multiple stores and 120 employees. But for Bertram it was a great day.
"Being able to get back to work was really gratifying. Being able to work, to provide for my family, made me very, very happy," Bertram said. "I see people give up on themselves. Just because a person is blind doesn't mean they can't do anything."
Within 18 months, Bertram earned a supervisor's role. He is now the manager of industrial manufacturing for Clovernook, which, in addition to file folders, also makes drinking cups for the Navy. And this year, a commercial company, Susty Party, approached Clovernook and asked them to make their cups.
Susty Party clearly liked the idea of helping Clovernook and its mission, but that doesn't mean the cups can be lower quality. Now, when shoppers across the country buy a Susty Cup at Whole Foods, they are buying a cup that was made by the blind and visually impaired in North College Hill. This is no longer government work, this is private enterprise and high expectations.
Bertram knows his workers, and his cups, are up to the task. "The best workers I have ever had have been blind people," he said. "They show up every day, and they want to prove to you that they can work."
Bertram manages 12 people. Three have vision, nine are blind or visually impaired. If you walked through the plant without paying close attention, you would not know any of these workers were different from any other. Their movements are muscle memory now, fast and constant and efficient.
Two things are happening as the cups are made. First, Clovernook is making money, so it can pay for programs and employees and training. But the work has another, more important role: training blind and visually impaired workers for their next job.
"I'm helping those who are blind," Bertram said. "And I am helping Clovernook at the same time."
He treats his workers with respect, he defines what is expected and he trusts they will get the job done. Same as he would with any employee.
"I feel like it's why I am here," Bertram said. "Clovernook gave me back my life, in a way. Part of paying that back is to help other people here become independent. And employment is really important."

Topic: To My Believers: Is It Teddy or not?
Today I am having one of those not so good Humira days, went to lay down and the following came forward in my head so had to get up to tell you this as I forgot all about it. A few years before T got CC we talked about how we would reach each other from beyond. We decided a touch on the cheeks. I think he has been doing that all along. I will be at the computer, in a movie etc and all of a sudden I feel a touch, lighter than a cobweb, it comes on the top of my hair, around the ears and across my forehead. Guess he has not learned to do the cheek yet. Well, my girlfriend and I went to a Casino to listen to music and we both got the sensation at the same time. I feel her husband, whom we were close to, was doing this with T. T never gives up, which shows me I should never give up either. Better add this to my log as I forgot all about it. That gives me 86 Teddy winks in 2 1/2 years. Hope all my club members are getting some great visits as well. I know Gerardo got a great one not long ago.

In theory, due to its acidic pH, cranberry juice may counteract antacids. Cranberry juice theoretically may increase the effects of antibiotics in the urinary tract and increase the excretion of some drugs in the urine. Cranberry juice may increase absorption of vitamin B12 in patients using proton pump inhibitors such as esomeprazole (Nexium®).
Some cranberry tinctures may have high alcohol content and may lead to vomiting if used with the drug disulfiram (Antabuse®) or metronidazole (Flagyl®).
Although it is controversial, some studies have shown that taking the prescription blood thinner warfarin (Coumadin®) and cranberry products at the same time can elevate the international normalized ratio (INR), which could increase the risk of bleeding.
In theory, cranberry juice may increase the excretion of some herbs or supplements in the urine.
Theoretically cranberry products may increase the risk of bleeding in people taking other herbs or supplements like garlic or danshen.
Inhibition of H. pylori bacteria, which may lead to gastrointestinal ulcers, may be increased when oregano and cranberry are taken together.

Trent does not suck.
old woman w/hobby
A ton of monkey fun!
Just run.
I do not really really really hate Trent.
I don't really blame you, Trent!
Running is stupid
Great job Trent! Than
ks for letting us borrow him Ellie!
12 Monkeys
And, aww shucks
AND: don't people believe in marathonguide.com reviews anymore? Come on folks, get on it!
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
And in the end...
And, aww shucks
AND: don't people believe in marathonguide.com reviews anymore? Come on folks, get on it!
Fuck it. I'm gonna PR this fall. Let's do this.
My legs still hate you, but the rest of me doesn't blame you anymore.
You put on a heck of a fantastic race, thank you! I'm already looking forward to a monkey rematch next year.
I don't half-ass anything
"I have several close friends who have run marathons, a word that is actually derived from two Swahili words: mara, which means 'to die a horrible death' and thon, which means 'for a stupid T-shirt.' Look it up." - Celia Rivenbark, You Can't Drink All Day if You Don't Start in the Morning
Awesome race, world's best volunteers, great swag, tasty beer, perfect weather, and tiny hills. Thanks, Trent!
I hammered down the trail, passing rocks and trees like they were standing still.
One of the reviews that was hidden by the MG moderators, from 7/31/12 (before registration even opened) -
Word is that the participants for this race are now 'chosen' by the RD based on how well he knows them/likes them. Apparently, hopefuls can even bribe the RD with beer, goodies, etc. to be guaranteed a spot. I've never ran this race, but was interested. No more. This seems kind of weird and cliquey. I guess it is no longer a race but more of a party with invited guests or something.
Yep, sounds about right. Weighted lottery.
Excellent job, well done...Please pass on a huge thanks to the great volunteers! Do you throw them a party?

I would like to state publicly that I never offered Trent any of my "goodies".
I thought you were going to push my face in your goodies before the race. Those weird Hokas put you at just the right height...
Thunder smash!
