Hey loves! Here we are with another 5 Questions profile! This time I want to introduce you to Robin, who is awesome by-the-way. You may recognize her as one of the models from the 365Hangers Style-A-Thon. She's not only beautiful, but very kind and always willing to help me out! I love this chick!!
Name: ROBIN CRICKET PFLUM
Hometown: SAN FRANCISCO, BAY AREA
Current City: LOS ANGELES, CA
Modeling Agency: PEAK (L.A.), CITY MODEL MANAGEMENT (S.F.)
1. What does being a model mean to you?
Being a model is a creative outlet for me. It means getting to explore all of the different facets and dimensions of my personality. So often, we are taught to keep our emotions in check when it comes to work and business, but modeling allows…my child like spirit to play dress up, my sex kitten to purrrr, my powerhouse to take charge, and my inner diva to shine!
2. What or whom inspires you the most?
I am most inspired by other women! Women that live fully in their femininity, embrace their sexuality, move through their day with confidence, and are empowered by their life's journey. Women that make no apologies for celebrating being a WOMAN, no matter her height, size, shape, color, or age.
3. Where are your favorite places to shop?
Ooooh, such an open ended question.
One of my favorite places to shop is Florence, Italy. The streets are lined with shops of couture designers, and local craftsmen, that are exquisite!!
But, if we are talking domestically….New York is hands down the place to be. I always find clothes, shoes and accessories that i cant seem to find anywhere else.
I love smaller "mom and pop" retailers with one of a kind items. Unfortunately most of these places dont carry larger sizes, but are great for signature jewlery pieces, scarves, hats, and shoes. I tell my friends to not be afraid to wander into shops they may not have heard of, because you never know what sort of little "gems" are hiding inside.
As far as bigger name stores, I love a great bargain or sale. I have found some of my favorite pieces in H&M, Forever 21, Marshall's, and Nordstrom Rack. Im also a fan of online retailers ASOS, City Chic, and Alloy.
4. What is your fashion "weakness?"
OK, you ready for this? (Dont laugh too hard) I absolutely LOOOOOOOOOVE white tank tops! It sounds a little crazy and probably not very "fashionable", but a nice crisp white tank top is my go-to for just about anything. And a well fitted tank shows my curves off beautifully! Throw it on w/jeans and heels for a trendy look, pair it with a colorful flowing skirt for a bohemian chic look, or wear it under a blazer with a sexy pencil skirt for a simple business look…..the possibilities are endless.
5. What advice would you give to any new or aspiring models?
Be realistic!! I dont want to sound harsh, or negative, but you have to be realistic!
It takes more than a cute face to be a successful model.
Physically, you should be proportioned, have clear skin, nice teeth, and meet certain height requirements.
Financially, you will need to put money into testing, and general upkeep (i.e. hair, nails, teeth)
Mentally and emotionally, modeling can be tough on one's ego. You might get a lot of "no's" before you ever get a "yes". Also, agents and clients are very honest about what they want and dont want. Be prepared to hear things like "you look too old", "you need to change your hair color", "smile more"….whatever it is, its not personnal, so take it in stride and remember that modeling is a business.

Since 2004, synchronized swimmer Laura Montes '10 and duet partner Nilda Rosado have trained and competed every year hoping to represent the Puerto Rican synchronized swimming national team at the Central American and Caribbean Games. The patience and strong work ethic have paid off. Montes and her partner were selected to compete at the 2010 games this summer.
After working for six years to get into the games, when she received word last November she was ecstatic. "It definitely was a dream of ours," said Montes, who swam at Wheaton for four years. "Even through the challenges of attending college and trying to do well academically, we found a way to ensure we were doing our part and kept fighting until we were selected.
"It's been such a dream because this national team is different from the seven others I have been part of. This meet is a qualifying meet for the current Olympic cycle. We have a very realistic chance to qualify for the Pan American Games next summer. If we qualify for the Pan American, we are one step closer in qualifying for the Olympics.

THE signing of Danny Mayor, as well as being a great coup for Bury, tells me that the club should fear no-one next season.
For the first time in ages, Bury can compete financially with their rivals.
So I don't think it matters who is coming down or who is coming up, I think the Shakers will go into the next campaign with a squad more than capable of vying for promotion.
Whether that ends up being automatic promotion or through the play-offs, I think they will be there or thereabouts.
For the record, I don't think any of the clubs coming down from League One will have the finances or structures in place to be a real threat to Bury.
For me, their main rivals will be Northampton. I think for the club to tempt manager Chris Wilder from Oxford – who were in the play-offs at the time – shows that he must have been promised money to spend.
Bury will also have to compete with the clubs that fail to make it out of the play-offs.
If Fleetwood don't get up this time I am confident Andy Pilling will back them again next season, and I think Southend will have a decent budget too.
But the Shakers now have the finances and the structures in place off the pitch to mean that they should fear nobody on it.
The real challenge for manager David Flitcroft will be to get his pre-season right so they are ready to hit the ground running.
It already seems apparent that the chairman has a whole host of deals lined up for the summer, so Flicker should have a very competitive squad assembled by the time they return to training.
What he has to make sure is that he gets across his message on exactly how he wants them to play and the systems he wants to use.
Then Flicker will need to get the right kind of friendly matches in place to prepare his squad properly for their promotion push.
Get that spot on and I think they will be more than a match for anybody.
I guess my only regret, and one shared by many Bury fans, will be that Brian Jensen will not be returning in goal.
He has been fantastic this season and, as I stated before, I felt he deserved another deal.
It now seems clear that Flicker probably had his replacement in mind before the Southend game and only recalled him because of a lack of experience in reserve.
That is his right as manager and he will be judged on the success of the keeper he brings in. But for me, no matter what the style of play, Brian would have been a worthy number one.
This is my last column of the season. I hope the readers have enjoyed it. Have a great summer and I look forward to returning for the next campaign.

Grab and crack NTLM and Domain Cached hashes from the PC you're on, and go from there...?
Hi guys, I booted BT3 on to one of our workstations today as we are trying to assess the risks of someone else doing it, to find out what they would be able to do. We have a large switched network with Win2003 domain.
Once booted up I got allocated my usual static IP from the server and was able to access our local intranet page proving I had IP connectivitiy to the network. I port scanned using nmap and got a whole load of results back from various servers as expected.
My question is, as an attacker - would there be a way to say sniff the network using cain (in my VMware XP build) and catch passwords while users are authenticating to the domain, then giving me valid credentials to go further? - If not, what is an attacker likely to do at this point apart from run exploits? I think someone would be more likely to try to access files etc that they didn't have rights too
Thanks - and for the record, I am the Security officer and this is totally legal.
Grab and crack NTLM and Domain Cached hashes from the PC you're on, and go from there...?
=> Is there a DC on your network?
=> Does any of your systems auth with servers via a router?
=> Does your internat web server use AD intergration or any kind of user logon?
If the answer is yes to any of the above I'd start with them.
Thanks guys.
Which tool would I use to grab the hashes? - presumably I can access them even though I booted from BT3 USB stick?. I would then use L0phtcrack to attack them right?.
Yes BOFH139
1) we do have DCs on the domain, would it be a case of cain sniffing against the DC?
2) Servers are all internal so don't think so
3) Intranet (internal) doesn't authenticate against AD (as far as I know)

This online memorial was created in loving memory of David DeSpain Sr., whose life story is told throughout this memorial website. Please sign David's guest book and let us know you came to visit. We will remember David forever.
Streams in the Desert - January 16 And there arose a great storm (Mark 4:37). Some of the storms of life come suddenly: a great sorrow, a bitter disappointment, a crushing defeat. Some come slowly. They appear upon the ragged edges of the horizon no larger than a man's hand, but, trouble that seems so insignificant spreads until it covers the sky and overwhelms us. Yet it is in the storm that God equips us for service. When God wants an oak He plants it on the moor where the storms will shake it and the rains will beat down upon it, and it is in the midnight battle with elements that the oak wins its rugged fibre and becomes the king of the forest. When God wants to make a man He puts him into some storm. The history of manhood is always rough and rugged. No man is made until he has been out into the surge of the storm and found the sublime fulfillment of the prayer: "O God, take me, break me, make me." A Frenchman has painted a picture of universal genius. There stand orators, philosophers and martyrs, all who have achieved pre-eminence in any phase of life; the remarkable fact about the picture is this: Every man who is pre-eminent for his ability was first pre-eminent for suffering. In the foreground stands that figure of the man who was denied the promised land, Moses. Beside him is another, feeling his way -- blind Homer. Milton is there, blind and heart-broken. Now comes the form of one who towers above them all. What is His characteristic?
His Face is marred more than any man's. The artist might have written under that great picture, "The Storm." The beauties of nature come after the storm. The rugged beauty of the mountain is born in a storm, and the heroes of life are the storm-swept and the battle-scarred. You have been in the storms and swept by the blasts. Have they left you broken, weary, beaten in the valley, or have they lifted you to the sunlit summits of a richer, deeper, more abiding manhood and womanhood?
Have they left you with more sympathy with the storm-swept and the battle-scarred? --Selected The wind that blows can never kill The tree God plants; It bloweth east, it bloweth west, The tender leaves have little rest, But any wind that blows is best. The tree that God plants Strikes deeper root, grows higher still, Spreads greater boughs, for God's good will Meets all its wants.
There is no storm hath power to blast The tree God knows; No thunderbolt, nor beating rain, Nor lightning flash, nor hurricane; When they are spent, it doth remain, The tree God knows, Through every tempest standeth fast, And from its first day to its last Still fairer grows
Going Home to Willoughby ≈
David G. DeSpain, Sr.
March 31, 1935 to January 16, 2014
David Gene "Bunkie" DeSpain, Sr., 78, St. Joseph, passed peacefully into Heaven on Thursday, January 16, 2014, surrounded by his family at home where he wanted to be.
David fell head over heels with Barbara Joanne (Slater) DeSpain, the love of his life and they shared 60 years together. She survives of the home.
In April 1952, at the age of 17, David enlisted in the Marine Corps and proudly served his country during the Korean War. During his military career, he received the National Defense Medal, United Nations Service Medal, Korean Service Medal, Expert Rifleman Medal, Expert Marksman Medal, and a prestigious Presidential Unit Citation. He was honorably discharged in April 1955.
David attended NWMSU receiving degrees in business management and pre-law. David worked in the management profession until his retirement in 1988. He was a trouble shooter and innkeeper for the Holiday Inn Hotel chain for several years, was the first manager of the Bode Ice Arena, and the last manager for the Hotel Robidoux. Upon his retirement, he opened the Collector's Emporium which specialized in antiques and collectables with his son David Jr.
His hobbies included jewelry making, watching British mysteries, collecting stamps and coins, going to the casino, eating at Cracker Barrel, traveling, and holding hands with his wife. David loved the holidays and enjoyed having the responsibility of baking the pumpkin pies on Thanksgiving. He was teased about burning them and looked forward to it every year.
David loved his family and they were the most important thing to him. He made sure every day that they knew it. He had ways of making every family member feel special in their own individual way.
He would call his children and grandchildren on their birthdays to sing happy birthday and would do so in the worst out of tune singing voice he could. He never missed a birthday and even added some because he enjoyed it so much.
He enjoyed spending time with his family and highlighted that with adventures of hunting for the Keeblers and Goonie Rabbit with his grandchildren. David taught his family many life lessons one of which was to appreciate the importance of Pogiebait (junk food).
He was preceded in death by his parents, David Louis and Reva Margaret (Sebille) DeSpain; two brothers, Lloyd Alfred "Sonny" DeSpain and Richard "Dick" DeSpain; and son, Christopher Lee.
Survivors: wife; sons, David Gene Jr., Mark Scott and Michael Charles (Leslie); daughters, Cynthia Susan Martin (Mike) and Elizabeth Anne White; 12 grandchildren; 15 great-grandchildren; great-great-granddaughter; his baby sister, Audrey Marie Colwell; several nieces and nephews; sister-in-law, Virginia DeSpain; brothers-in-law, Richard Slater (Janet) and John Forest; and his buddy, Admiral, his pug.
Service: 1 p.m. Tuesday, Meierhoffer Funeral Home & Crematory. Interment: Helena Cemetery. The family will receive friends 6-8 p.m. Monday, Meierhoffer Funeral Home & Crematory, where friends may call after 5 p.m. Monday.
Flowers are appreciated and for those wishing to make a contribution, the family requests they be made to the Noyes Home.

Seems to be a robocaller of some kind looking for real phone numbers to add to a list. It called my phone twice today. First time was exactly 3 seconds long, just silence before hanging up. Second time, instead of hanging up timely or leaving a real voice mail, it tied up VM for exactly 3.0 minutes of recorded completely silent dead air time.

(Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Interview dated December 3, 2010)
Give good news to the believers that they will receive immense favor from Allah. (Surat al-Ahzab, 47)
There is happiness, and the global dominion of Islam and Islamic Union. There is our seeing the Prophet Jesus (as), and our seeing and recognizing Hazrat Mahdi (as), whom our Prophet (saas) spoke of 1400 years ago, and the Prophet Moses (as) 3000 years ago and the Prophet Abraham (as) 5000 years ago. The abjad (numerical) value of the verse is 2005.
Do not obey the unbelievers and hypocrites and disregard their abuse of you. Put your trust in Allah. Allah suffices as a Protector. (Surat al-Ahzab, 48)
Do not implement any of their beliefs and ideas. For instance, people say we should not talk to Muslims, but we do. They tell us not to pray, but we do. Not to fast, but we do. Not to abide by the Qur'an, but we do. We do not obey them, do not obey the hypocrites. They may gossip, defame and insult us, make insinuations, torture or imprison you, but you must leave yourself in Allah's hands. It is Allah Who will make you speak, make you healthy and protect you from your enemies.

COLUMBUS -- Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema and Ohio State's Urban Meyer quibbled (which may be a rather sedate way of putting it) over Meyer allegedly poaching recruits who had verbally committed to other Big Ten schools. One native Ohioan, OL Kyle Dodson, had said he was going to play for the Badgers but then backed out of that and later came to Ohio State.
Bielema said this week that way too much was made of the minor flap.
"Obviously, there was a lot written in the offseason. The unfortunate part of that is it was really a lot of to do about nothing," Bielema said. "I only met Urban a couple of times before his introduction into the league. One was a real enjoyable experience when he came here as an (ESPN) analyst. I really enjoyed sitting down with him, and hopefully he did as well. So that part is unfortunate."
Wisconsin has six native Ohioans on its roster, including three starters and two second-teamers. It's only natural that there might be clashes between the schools.
"We do a lot of recruiting in Ohio. So the kids know each other," Bielema said. "That builds up a little bit of animosity and some feelings out there more than anything. I've learned early on in my coaching career you lose more friends in recruiting in the coaching world than you do on game days."
Bielema is hoping the whole thing passes.
"I think on Saturdays, you just kind of play, shake hands afterwards, and move on," he said. "Recruiting, you wear that on your sleeve. That's something that's the lifeline of your program, and a lot of times that's where feelings get very emotional."
Meyer was asked if he was now on the same page with the Wisconsin coach after last winter's tiff.
"Same page? I have a lot of respect for his team," he said. "Other than that, we're fine. That was kind of a lot of stuff that was blown up. I've never had any issue other than they're a good team."
DE John Simon has been announced as one of eight semifinalists for the annual Lott IMPACT Trophy.
The 6-foot-2, 270-pound senior from Youngstown has 10.5 tackles for loss and five sacks for the undefeated Buckeyes.
"John possesses a burning passion for success that I have never witnessed in a college student-athlete," Meyer said. "His performance on the field speaks for itself, but the off-the-field commitment and performance is what distinguishes John from every other player I have ever coached. His training and study habits are off the charts. He is the ultimate team player."
Other semifinalists include Notre Dame LB Manti Te'o, Stanford LB Chase Thomas, LSU S Eric Reid, Georgia LB Jarvis Jones, San Jose State DE Travis Johnson, Kansas State LB Arthur Brown and Mississippi State CB Johnthan Banks.
Simon was also a semifinalist a year ago and Te'o a finalist.
Ohio State LB James Laurinaitis won the award -- which goes to players who affect their teams the most on and off the field -- in 2008.
Bielema on the execution and timing between Ohio State QB Braxton Miller and his WRs: "Of all the films you watch (of Ohio State), you see a progression every week."
Wisconsin was favored by 1.5 at the start of the week in Saturday's 3:30 p.m. game on ABC, with the margin rising to 3 points by Wednesday. It has dropped to 2.5 points now.
Meyer said he was very concerned how his team would come back from last week's bye. He's encouraged by what he's seen so far, but that doesn't mean problems don't crop up.
"We're very worried about that. I guess you worry about everything," he said. "Over the past 11 years as a head coach, that's a big concern. There's a couple (of theories that) you go into it gradually, or you just put the ball down and go as hard as we can -- and that's what we did. Usually that works."
A lot has been made of Curt Phillips, the third-string Wisconsin QB who has persevered through a string of injuries including rehabbing two times from ACL tears to become a starter.
Many Buckeyes are impressed with what Phillips has overcome, and also with what he can still do.
"He's an athlete," coach Urban Meyer said. "I kind of admire him, I don't know him, but I read a little bit about him where he had injuries. I have a lot of admiration for tough people. Everything I've read about this guy, he's a tough guy. Our coaches said he's a good thrower but he's the best athlete of the quarterbacks we've played against this year."
Phillips makes for an interesting story about perseverance and dedication.
"Yeah, it is," said LB Zach Boren. "I watched the Indiana game a little bit. I saw that he's torn two ACLs, so it's definitely hard. But he's made a great comeback and I wish him the best."
The problem is, how do you prepare for a quarterback who has seldom played because he's been injured?
"He's a different kid. The offense is different," DBs coach Kerry Coombs said of Phillips now compared to when he last played a little in 2009. "He had played 15 snaps coming in (to last week's Indiana game). Tell you what he is, he's a leader. He made a lot of plays and you could see the offense really was drawn to him. So we've got our work cut out for us."

You should perform regular backups of your system and keep multiple backups of important, irreplaceable files. Without multiple backup copies of your files, your files do not exist anywhere except on your Mac.
Tip: You should also keep at least one backup copy of your important files in a different physical location (that is, an "offsite" location). An easy backup method is to copy important files to iCloud.
Using Time Machine
OS X includes Time Machine so you can automatically back up your system and your important files to a different hard disk or network volume. Time Machine also has an intuitive interface for restoring your files or your entire system.
Using Disk Utility
This alternative backup process will produce a disk image of your entire Mac OS X disk's contents. This process preserves the unique attributes of your files, such as permissions, ACLs and UUIDs. A disk image backup is good for an archive-type backup for offsite storage.
You may wish to store the external disk in a different location (an offsite backup). If your external disk does not have enough free space to hold future backups, consider using a different disk or deleting prior backups to free up space on the external disk.
Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility
- Connect an external hard drive (FireWire or USB) that has sufficient free space to hold at least one copy of the contents of your Macintosh HD.
- Start from your Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6 Install DVD. (Insert the disc, then restart and hold the C key.)
- Select your language. Do not start an installation.
- Choose Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
- Select the disk you wish to back up (your source disk, such as Macintosh HD) in the source pane on the left.
- Click "Verify Disk" to check the hard disk for issues. If an issue is found, click "Repair Disk" to repair.
- Click the "New Image" button in the toolbar.
- Give your image a useful name such as "04-15-2009 Macintosh HD backup". A date in the name makes it easy to tell when the backup was made.
Note: For additional security, you can encrypt the backup disk image. From the "Encryption:" pop-up menu, select either 128-bit or 256-bit AES encryption. When prompted enter a password for the encryption: Use the password assistant to help you make a good password, or see this link for information about how to choose a good password.
- Be sure the Save destination is a location on your external hard disk, then click "Save" to continue.
- Enter your admin name and password if prompted. The imaging process will begin. The time it takes to complete the imaging process depends on factors such as the amount of data on your Macintosh HD. Approximately 1 GB per minute will be imaged, depending on various factors.
- When the imaging process is complete, select the newly created disk image in the device pane. Then, choose Images > Scan Image for Restore... from the menu bar, and let the scan complete.
- Quit Disk Utility (press Command-Q). Then press Command-Q to quit the Mac OS X installer; you will be prompted to restart.
Restoring the backup disk image's contents to your internal Mac OS X disk
Note: If the Mac you are restoring to is not the same Mac you used to make the backup disk image, use Migration Assistant instead of Disk Utility to properly transfer the data back to your Mac.
Important: These steps will overwrite data with the same name in the same location, such as files on your desktop and in your Home folder.
- Connect the external disk you've backed up to.
- Start from your Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6 Install DVD. (Insert the disc, then restart and hold the C key.)
- Select your language. Do not start an installation.
- Choose Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
- Select your internal Mac OS X disk that you want to restore to.
- Click the Restore tab.
- Drag your internal disk to the "Destination:" field.
- Click the "Image..." button next to the "Source:" field.
- Navigate to the location of the backup image you want to restore (located on your external disk).
- Click "Open" to continue.
- Click the "Restore" button. Confirm you want to "Restore to Disk" by clicking "Restore" again. This will replace data on your Mac OS X volume with data from your backup that has the same name and is in the same location.
- Enter your admin name and password when prompted. If the backup disk image is encrypted, enter the disk image password if necessary. The time it takes to restore from the image depends on factors such as the amount of data on your backup disk image.
Manually backing up files
You can also manually drag files from your Mac OS X volume to an external storage device or network volume. You can also burn backup copies to blank CDs or DVDs in the Finder. Usually, your Home folder is where your most important files are to back up. Mac OS X and third-party applications can be reinstalled from original discs or source image files if necessary.
Using an IMAP email service such as iCloud is a good way to make sure you have an offsite server copy of your email.
If you want to verify the integrity of your backups, use Disk Utility to check the backup disk images:
- In Disk Utility, choose Images > Verify...
- Navigate to the location of your backup disk image.
- Click the disk image you want to check.
- Click "Verify" to perform an image verification.
Note: For backup information about Mac OS X v10.4, see this article instead.

PARK CITY, Utah (AP) -- The Sundance Film Festival has never been sexier.
The annual independent-film showcase in Park City, Utah, has featured a slew of sexually themed movies this year in its premiere, dramatic competition, new-technology and midnight categories.
Festival founder Robert Redford says the on-screen sex of today is often devoid of the romance that was essential in late 1960s, when he first started making movies.
Among the films exploring this most basic of human behaviors are dramatic contenders "Afternoon Delight" and "Concussion," in which the female protagonists use sexual expression to work through their mid-life crises; premiere films "Don Jon's Addiction," ''Lovelace" and "The Look of Love," which explore different aspects of pornography; and the documentary "kink," about the leading producer of bondage-and-discipline porn.
Sundance continues through Sunday.

NEWARK (AP) — Will they? Won't they? And when will New Jerseyans know?
The question of whether Gov. Chris Christie will seek a second term, and whether Newark Mayor Cory Booker will challenge him, is being asked by everyone from journalists to grade schoolers during public appearances.
Both men attended an event Friday at a Newark school, where they said separately that dealing with Superstorm Sandy had delayed their decisions.
Christie says he isn't one to make decisions based on emotion, and hasn't had a clear enough head to decide after "an incredibly emotional" few weeks dealing with Sandy's impact on New Jersey.
Booker says his decision also has been delayed by dealing with the storm and its aftermath.
Both men previously said they'd make their choices after the presidential election.

Yamamoto, Y.Y., Tsuhara, Y., Gohda, K., Suzuki, K. and Matsui, M.
Notes: These researchers used luciferase-containing T-DNA insertions in Arabidopsis thaliana for gene trapping. Luciferase was chosen because its transient expression allowed temporal expression studies. Several insertion vectors were constructed and found to have different insertion frequencies. Vectors containing the luc+ gene had substantially higher insertion rates than native luciferase vectors. Luciferase activity was measured in vivo with a CCD camera or, for longer term studies, with an automated scintillation counter sampling every 15-25 minutes over one week. The application of IRES sites in gene trapping experiments was also investigated using firefly and Renilla luciferases. The Dual-Luciferase® Reporter Assay System was used to monitor luciferase activity in vitro. Finally, to sequence the T-DNA insertion sites, genomic DNA was isolated from T2 seedlings using the Wizard® Magnetic 96 DNA Plant System and was subsequently amplified and sequenced. (2787)

Sobczak, K. and Krzyzosiak, W.J.
Notes: The authors investigated expression of BRCA1 from alternative transcripts possessing different 5' UTRs. RT-PCR using Promega's AMV reverse transcriptase was performed to generate cDNAs from total RNA isolated from human tissue. Promega's Taq DNA Polymerase was used for the PCR reaction. The authors also prepared two mRNAs that contained one or the other of the 2 alternative 5' UTRs (ex1a or ex1b) fused with the luciferase coding region. To generate the corresponding DNA for these constructs, the luciferase coding region was amplified from Promega's pGEM vector and ligated to PCR amplified ex1a or exlb. These ligation products served as the template amplifying two cDNA constructs (exla-luc or ex1b-luc).Ten additional cDNAs were made containing a variety of changes to the 5'UTR region of BRCA1. In vitro translation experiments were performed to determine how the composition of the 5'UTR affected protein expression levels (using Promega's RNasin to protect transcribed mRNA; T7 polymerase buffer; and rabbit reticulocyte and wheat germ extracts for translation). The authors conclude that secondary structures associated with elements in the longer 5'UTR reduced translation rates and could be responsible for the reduced expression of BRCA1 often associated with spontaneous ovarian and breast cancers.

Notes: The authors cloned luciferase cDNA from pGEM®-luc Vector into eukaryotic expression vector, then transfected into nasal epithelium of BALB/c mice. They measured luciferase activity using the Luciferase Assay System on tissue extracts. They also used pGEM®-luc Vector to generate fluorescein-labeled antisense luciferase RNA probes for in situ staining. (0906)
Poulin, F., Gingras, A.C., Olsen, H., Chevalier, S., Sonenberg, N.
Notes: The authors created a bicistronic vector with a CMV-driven expression of Renilla luciferase followed by the IRES sequence from the 5'-UTR of poliovirus type II Lansing and trailed by the wildtype firefly luciferase gene. The construct was cotransfected into HeLa cells with CMV-driven expression vectors containing wildtype eIF-4E binding protein or mutants. The wildtype eIF-4E binding protein reduced Renilla luciferase activity by about 75% but resulted in a two-fold increase in firefly luciferase. Luciferase activities were measured with the Dual-Luciferase® Reporter Assay System and the pGEM®-luc Vector was the source of the Firefly luciferase and the pRL-CMV Vector was the source of Renilla luciferase.

Notes: Reporter vectors (produced with the pGL2 Basic Vector) were transiently transfected into PC12 cells and promoter activity was measured in response to 2.5S NGF. Promoter constructs were generated by PCR, subcloned into the pGEM®-T Vector and sequenced. The pGEM®-luc Vector was used to generated an antisense luc RNA probe used in RNase protection assays (using RNase ONE™ Ribonuclease) to follow the transcription of luciferase DNA following NGF treatment. The early growth reaction transcription factor and variants were expressed in the TNT® SP6 Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System and used to perform gel shifts with promoter elements. The SP1 Consensus Oligonucleotide was used to compete transcription factor binding to the promoter elements. (1493)

I know, right? You spend all that time fantasising about Charlie Hunnam or Idris Elba or Rihanna or Olivia Munn and then Adrien Brody comes along and shows you that he's the only flavour you ever wanted, the only standard of sexy. What could be sexier than what you're looking at right now? The douchebag upward tilt of the chin. Full Story

Adrien Brody and Justin Bieber were both at AMFAR in Cannes last night. The smarm, right? The smarm. I know your first inclination is to say that JB has to be bigger douche because he's, well, he's JB. And Adrien Brody won an Oscar. Really? Because Adrien Brody also wore this: Full Story
Hayden Christensen back on set
How long has it been? I feel like it's been a long, long time. If anyone ever needed a Career Prospectus… It wasn't like this 10 years ago. Or less. He was Robert Pattinson back then – the goodlooking star of a mega franchise that didn't exactly showcase his talent. Full Story
From Oscar...to this
Fame, Splash
Someone somewhere, and I'm too lazy to look for the link, has a list of Oscar winners who should have their awards revoked for the sh-t they do after. Most of the time I think this is unfair. For example, Forest Whitaker is in that new Arnold Schwarzenegger movie and people will probably be criticising him for it but, like, in non-diverse Hollywood, how many quality scripts do you think Forest actually sees? It's not like he has the same options as Tom Hanks. Full Story
Adrien Brody is in love
Wenn, Gigi Iorio/ Splash
And when Adrien Brody is in love, it's like he's showing you his dick. Check him out at the Rome Film Festival with girlfriend Lara Lieto. Is this a man who's telling you he's found the woman of his life, or is this a man telling you how hot sh-t his girlfriend is and that must mean he's some hot sh-t too? He's not the first or only dude to have done this, no, of course not. Full Story

We've made a few updates to our secure messaging system. First, we've added cases. A case is a set of messages that are all related. When you send in a question and we respond, our response is grouped with your original message. If you then reply, your response will be grouped with the first two messages and so on. This will help you keep track of related messages. Just click on the subject of a case in your inbox to see all the messages within the case. If you've already read a message, we'll minimize it to only show you unread messages within that case. To view the read messages, click the plus sign next to the message. If you are inquiring on a new issue, please start a new message using the Compose New Message link on the right of the secure messaging screens so you'll get a new case.
We've also enhanced our messages so we can include links within the message. If you ask one of our member service specialists where something is in Web Branch, they can now just include a link in their response. Since this is secure messaging and not e-mail, you don't have to worry about any fraud or phishing within the system. And, as a reminder, because the Web Branch secure messages are sent back and forth encrypted, and the messages never leave our servers, you can include private information like account numbers without worry (never include them in e-mail).
Finally, another reminder, you can sign up for our secure message alerts where you'll receive an e-mail or text message whenever you have a new, unread secure message. With the alert, you never have to worry about missing an important account update between the times you login to Web Branch. To add the alert, just edit your Alert Preferences under the Profile & Services tab.

For Christmas Day last week my plan was to make a pork loin rib roast for lunch and then a batch of wings for supper and snacking. This was my first loin rib roast and it weighed about 3-1/3 pounds.
I prepped it Christmas Eve with a paste of olive oil, grated fresh garlic, and various dried herbs (oregano, thyme, basil, etc.).
Eventually after presents and breakfast Christmas morning I got around to taking the roast out of the fridge and setting up the rotisserie.
It cooked over briquettes and a little bit of apple wood until the internal temp reached 140-145 in places.
For the most part it was plenty moist but there were a few pieces in the very middle of the end pieces that were a touch dry. No problem, just cut them up and mix them with the juicier pieces. Essentially I wound up with a plate of pork chops that had a nice flavor, and the leftovers reheated well a couple of days later.
The day before I had also prepped the chicken wings by salting them thoroughly, adding some fresh pepper and grated garlic, and putting them in a plastic bag with a couple of bottles of dark beer to create a brine.
Well, as it turned out nobody was hungry for supper so the wings sat in the brine until the next evening and picked up a little bit of color from the beer.
I meant to cook them at about 350 over direct heat but I underestimated the amount of charcoal I'd need, so for the first 30 minutes the temperature never reached 300. At that point I lifted the grate off the kettle and set it aside to add some additional charcoal, and the higher temperature helped them finish faster and with a decently crisp skin.
I've heard that if a dish is cooked with wine that same wine should be served with it, so I figured the same applies for beer. The wings had a mildly sweet beer essence and some good but not overpowering garlic flavor.

- On the man who scowled his way through the Golden Globes: "The quest to make Tommy Lee Jones laugh begins now."
- On Django Unchained, which has been criticized for its frequent use of the N-word: "The screenplay is loosely based on Mel Gibson's voicemails."
- Then, unfortunately, Captain Kirk made an appearance. He had come from the future to save the Oscars and implored MacFarlane to give the crowd a few songs. That saw MacFarlane launch in to one called We Saw Your Boobs that listed all the movies in which actresses have been filmed topless.
- On Django Unchained again: "This is the story of a man fighting to get back his woman, who's been subjected to unthinkable violence. Or as Chris Brown and Rihanna call it, a date movie."
- "The first time I saw [Ben Affleck] with all that dark facial hair, I thought, 'My God, the Kardashians have made the jump to film."
- On 9-year-old Oscar-nominee Quvenzhané Wallis: "To give you an idea of how young she is, it'll be 16 years until she's too old for [George] Clooney."
- "I always thought the actor who got most inside Lincoln's head was John Wilkes Booth."
- "As I said, tonight's ceremony is being watched by a close to a billion people worldwide, which is why Jodie Foster will be up here in a bit to ask for her privacy."
- "For all those women who had the flu: It paid off. Looking good."

THE sky's the limit for staff at a Highcliffe card shop, who are preparing to leap from a plane for charity.
Jocelyn and Stuart Britton, who own the Occasions card shop, will be joined by employee Kerry Breerton and her daughter Carly Gow, who worked in the store during her gap year, as they take the plunge and skydive from 10,000 feet.
All four will travel to Old Sarum airfield next Sunday for the skydive and together they hope to raise £1,500 for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Jocelyn said: "We decided we were going to do a fundraising challenge every year and we wanted it to be a good one, we didn't want to do anything by halves.
"I've been skydiving before and I just asked the others if they would fancy it and to my surprise they said yes.
"We chose Macmillan because we have heard so much about all the good work they do from our customers.
"We've been planning it for about four months and we're all quite relaxed about the idea at the moment.
"The nerves will probably hit when we get to the airfield on the day.
"We've been well supported by customers and friends and we just can't wait.
"We're talking about it all the time, either to customers or with each other."
Anyone who would like to sponsor the team can donate via their fundraising page at justgiving.

The criminal indictment of SAC Capital, the hedge fund founded and run by Steve Cohen, left, is a seminal moment on Wall Street. It is also a relief that prosecutors and the Securities and Exchange Commission have not backed down.
It looked dicey for a while, after SAC reached one of its infuriating "neither admit nor deny" civil settlements with the SEC on insider trading charges. The distinctive feature was that SAC paid $616m to settle, which a judge described as "counterintuitive and incongruous." Read more

When you're looking for rentals, it helps to know where to start. You're in luck. Rent.com has the rentals you're looking for and all the tools you need to find them. Search for your next apartments, condo, or house on Rent.com and get moving.
Searching for a new apartment can provide some serious challenges. Many of us, especially if we've lived in the same apartment for a long time, don't even know where to begin when it comes to choosing a new place to live. One way to get organized is to try to develop your own system of apartment reviews. If you create a template that you can take with you to each new apartment, you can generate a review of each apartment you are considering and use those reviews to compare apartments and find the one that's just right for you.
The way you will generate your apartment reviews template is by creating a series of questions that you will want to ask about each apartment you examine. You may want to further break down the review into sections for things like location, cost, and amenities. Think hard about what is important to you about your living arrangements, and generate as many questions as you can think of to ask yourself about each apartment based on what you come up with. The more questions you come up with, the better. Remember, you're trying to generate comprehensive reviews to help you make a decision. It may help you to think of this exercise as if you're getting ready to review apartments for the general public. What do you think readers will want to know about apartments? Whatever you come up with, write it down. You may also want to leave a space on your questionnaire at the end for general thoughts or comments.
Once you've got your questionnaire, it's time to put it to work. Take your list of apartments and examine all the details provided to find answers for your questions. If you can't find the answer, you have two options. You can contact the person providing the listing to get the answer, or you can visit the apartment and find out the answer for yourself. In some cases, you will decide answering the question is not a high priority or that you simply cannot find out the answer at this time. That's all right, but try to fill out your apartment reviews questionnaire as completely as possible. Take notes based on information about the apartment found online and then take notes immediately after viewing the apartment so that you don't have to memorize anything.
An important question to ask at this point is "where are you finding these apartments to review?" A great answer is online. Rent.com can provide thousands of listings with all that information you need to fill out your apartment reviews. Although you'll want to visit your final few possibilities in person no matter what, there's a good chance you can generate most of your apartment reviews without ever leaving your favorite chair. All you have to do to get started is go to the site, input information about desired location, size and price range, provide your email and click to submit. In a matter of moments, you should be provided with apartment listings to apply your apartment reviews template to. If you need more listings, you can submit again later or with different information.
Don't be paralyzed by the fear of the endless apartment search. Organize your quest with a comprehensive apartment reviews system and use Rent.com to cut out a lot of the legwork. You'll be done with your search and enjoying a great new apartment before you know it.

CRYSTAL PALACE 0 v 3 DONCASTER ROVERS
FULL TIME: The boos ring out around the 13,000 strong crowd and that's no surprise. Very poor from Palace, the players just didn't seem interested. Next up, Reading on Tuesday night. See you then.
90 min: Three minutes added on, oh joy.
86 min: SUB: Woods off, Hird on.
84 min: SUB: Coppinger off, Spicer on.
80 min: SUBS. Carle on for Derry who has been poor and Wilson on for Oster.
78 min: GOAL. All over as JAMES HAYTER scores and it's all too easy. Shiels runs at the back four and slips Hayter through and he slots under Speroni. From the sublime of last week to the ridiculous of this week.
74 min: If anything those subs seemed to have taken the energy out of Palace, plus the fact it is now pouring with rain.
67 min: DOUBLE SUB. Andrew and Sears on, Lee and Danns off.
63 min: GOAL! Oh no. MARTIN WOODS extends Donny's lead and it's too simple again. Oster is allowed to run into the box, gives the ball to Sharp, who under no pressure lays it back to Woods who has all the time in the world to pick his spot.
61 min: Moses makes room for a shot in the box but straight at Sullivan. Second half much better than the first but Palace need a goal soon.
58 min: Donny should be 2-0 up as Moses falls asleep and let's Chambers run on to a ball in the box but the right back shoots over. Lucky.
56 min: Two shots off the line in the minute. For Palace, Lee heads Ambrose's header towards goal but Coppinger heads clear from under the bar. Donny go up the other end and Oster is giving the freedom of Selhurst. His shot beats Speorni but the covering Fonte clears.
55 min: Fonte tries the spectacular with a half volley from the edge of the box but it doesn't trouble Sullivan and goes a foot over. Oster then tries his luck from range at the other end but it's comfortable for Speroni.
50 min: Moses wins a free kick on the edge of the box and up steps Ambrose but this time he can only power it into the wall.
48 min: Palace up for this now as Moses' long throw finds Ambrose in the box but Sullivan tips his effort beyond the post. Much better and the noise levels are rising.
46 min: Straight away Moses tries a volley on the turn from the edge of the box but it flies over.
46 min Finally we get back under way and it looks like a new referee out there for the second half.
HALF TIME: Long break happening here. There was a call for the referee's assessor to go to the referee's room so maybe something has happened to one of the officials.
HALF TIME: Palace don't deserve to be behind here. They've not played as well as last week and looked quite tired but Danns should have scored early on. Doncaster have been ok but nothing special. I expect Warnock to give his players the hairdryer treatment.
45 min: Fonte heads towards goal from a corner but Coppinger gets rid of it on the line. Warnock has long chat with the linesman after Davis fouls Oster, who has had a good half.
41 min: GOAL! I said I wanted a goal but not a Doncaster one. Oster goes on a run and sets up Chambers down the right. Hill backs off and backs off allowing Chambers to cross for the unmarked BILLY SHARP to poke home. Too simple.
39 min: There really isn't much happening today. The game needs a goal or some sort of moment to get everyone going. Chambers tries to give us that moment with a driving run into the box but Fonte clears his drilled cross for a corner which Butterfield half clears and, after a bit of confusion, Davis then mops up.
30 min: Rovers put a nice little move together on the break but Butterfield does well to clear the cross for a corner which Davis just clears ahead of Hayter.
25 min: The Eagles just about on top at the minute as Ambrose has a shot on the turn blocked then Moses has a long range effort but Sullivan gets his body behind it and makes a comfortable save.
18 min: Palace denied again as Lee just keeps the ball in and finds Moses. His shot is saved by Sullivanand falls to Ambrose two yards out but Roberts does brilliantly to get a foot in and deny him.
13 min: How did he miss? Palace should be ahead. Moses sets up Fonte in the box. Sullivan can only parry his shot back out to Danns four yards out but he puts it wide with the goal gaping. Oh dear.
11 min: Ertl tries a volley from outside the box that takes a deflection and wins Palace a corner. Ambrose, named Championship Player of the Month today, takes it but it's poor.
10 min: Pretty poor game so far in truth, lots of ball in the air and very little quality.
5 min: Chance for Doncaster as Hayter escapes down the right and crosses for Shiels but his effort is easily saved by Speroni.
1 min: Palace get us off and under way playing towards the Sainsbury's end.
2.58pm: The teams are out and they are led by a group of soldiers as the club continues to support the Help for Heroes campaign.
2.55pm: I would just like to say a quick hello to a friend of mine out in the crowd today, Laura Roberts and her son Daniel, who is celebrating his birthday this weekend. Daniel has a lucky hat that he puts on when Palace are losing and then they go on to get a draw or win. Let's hope he won't need to put it on today.
2.45pm: PALACE: Speroni, Butterfield, Fonte, Davis, Hill, Ambrose, Derry, Ertl, Danns, Moses, Lee. Subs: Clyne, Carle, Scannell, Sears, Andrew, Smith, N'Diaye.
DONCASTER: Sullivan, O'Connor, Chambers, Shackell, Shiels, Roberts, Woods, Oster, Coppinger, Hayter, Sharp. Subs: Guy, Spicer, Smith, Wilson, Hird, Webster, Gillett.
2.35pm: TEAM NEWS. Warnock sticks with the same 11 from last week so Moses stays on up front. The only change comes on the bench where Sean Scannell returns in place of James Comley. Ex-Eagle John Oster starts for Doncaster and is sure to get a frosty reception.
2.30pm: Hello and welcome to this afternoon's game and there's a new feeling of optimism around Selhurst after last week's fine performance against Watford. I'm trying not to be too confident though as I know whenever that happens we tend to lose.

Happy Friday friends!
I was up early this morning and went for a swim in the near-by ocean pool - the water was so warm and lovely! After the swim I had a quick green juice of kale, celery, cucumber and lime and then headed to the markets. I was in for a treat this time, as one of the stalls was selling some gorgeous fresh amaranth! Normally I would use amaranth seeds like quinoa or millet, but fresh amaranth can be used as a whole in salads and stir-fries, in much same way like spinach. Truth be told I prefer the whole amaranth to just the seeds, there is just so much flavour in the actual plant. It can be a bit of a rare treat to find fresh amaranth, but if you do, please make sure to buy and try some!
This simple lunch salad doesn't need any fancy'ing up. The amaranth is the main player here and other ingredients mere onlookers. A handful of left-over quinoa, some toasted walnuts and shallots with a little lime juice and olive oil drizzled on top is all you need.
Have a lovely weekend!
Fresh Amaranth Salad
fresh amaranth, washed and florets and leaves cut off
50g walnuts, toasted
1 green shallot, chopped
50g cooked quinoa
1/2 lime, juiced
1 tablespoon olive oil
tiny pinch of good quality salt
freshly ground black pepper
1. Heat the oil in a pan and add the amaranth. Cook for just a couple of minutes, then add the shallot, quinoa, toasted walnuts and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Of all the elements that are involved with making pies, it's the outer ring of crust that causes the most angst for bakers. As the saying goes, people eat with their eyes first, and many of us feel pressured to make crusts that look every bit as well-crafted as the delicious filling inside. When it comes to crust, practice will definitely help, but there are also some small steps to keep in mind for best results:
- Cold dough is much easier to shape. If you're working on the outer crust of your pie and the fat begins to melt, return the pie to the fridge for a while, to avoid a melted, misshapen mess.
- Dough that's been stretched or molded reacts like an elastic band—if it's put in the oven too soon it's liable to snap back. Resting a shaped crust in the fridge prior to baking will help it hold its shape. Most recipes tell you to wait 30 minutes, but if you have the ability to let it chill longer definitely do. For pie shells destined to be blind baked, I prefer to allow them to chill overnight.
- The fat that you use in your dough makes a difference in the results. Crusts made with fats with high melting points (such as rendered lard, suet, or vegetable shortening) hold their shape best in the oven. Many bakers who strive to make intricately decorated crusts will use a combination of butter and another fat with a higher melting point.

TEN suspected shoplifters were arrested in Wellington last month, latest crime figures show.
The number of shoplifting incidents more than doubled to 12 across February, including thefts at Waitrose, both One Stop stores, Asda, the Co-op and Longforth service station.
Sgt Helen Boyd said ten arrests had been made out of the 12 incidents.
Despite this rise, the number of crimes across the town dropped to 33 – down by 12 – from January, with the biggest fall in criminal damage to vehicles.
Six incidents of this nature were recorded, with three tyres slashed belonging to one victim, while there were various other damages to cars.
There were four house burglaries – up by one – and two arrests have been made with investigations continuing.
Suspects mainly targeted laptops and jewellery and there was also one attempted break-in.
Police made arrests following three common assaults across Wellington and Rockwell Green. Sgt Boyd said one was at the Wok Inn while the others were domestic incidents.
The only incident of a theft from a motor vehicle was where a grill was removed from the front bumper.

PHILADELPHIA - With a pair of wins last week to get back in the win column in a big way, Penn recevied many stellar performances. Two players who went a long way to securing a pair of wins were honored by the Philadelphia Soccer Six this week for the efforts.
Jonny Dolezal was named Co-Player of the Week by the PS6, while rookie Sam Hayward was named Rookie of the Week.
Dolezal was clutch for the Quakers in their Ivy League opener, scoring the game-winning goal in the 81' as the Red and Blue knocked off defending Ivy League champion Cornell, 1-0. Dolezal's boot off the left post was his first career game-winning goal, and ensured that the Quakers would not need to wait until the final game of the Ivy season for a League win as they did in 2012. After the goal, Dolezal was instrumental in holding off the Big Red, positioning the defense to maintain Penn's first Ivy League shutout since 2010.
On Wednesday, Sam Hayward scored twice as the Quakers snapped a six-match losing streak with a 3-2 win over University City neighbor Drexel. Both of his goals came in the second half, each giving the Quakers a two-goal lead. Hayward sits atop the Ivy League's rookie scoring chart with four goals this season.
The Quakers look to stay atop the Ivy table Saturday with a trip to Columbia to take on the Lions at 7 p.m.

Adobe RGB vs sRGB vs ProPhoto RGB
Mac versus PC, RAW versus JPEG, Coke versus Pepsi, all solid battles in their own right but Adobe RGB versus sRGB is still one that confuses more people than anything else. One of the problems is that there is big name experts on both sides of this argument arguring why their side is right and the other is totally off-base. What we will try to do is to show how both affect images so that you can choose the right one for your situation.

HOUSTON - A massive tanker fire in east Harris County caused major delays in the area.
Investigators said a gasoline tanker overturned and exploded just before 8 p.m. Friday on the feeder road of the East Sam Houston Parkway near Highway 90.
The explosion caused a massive amount of flames and smoke to cover the area, officials said.
Emergency crews shut down the southbound feeder road while they worked to put out the blaze.
A witness told KPRC Local 2 he saw the driver attempt to make a U-turn but the tanker truck tipped over.
"As soon as it rolled over and hit the ground it exploded and went into flames," said Orlando Amador.
Amador said the flames were shooting 30 feet into the air and he could feel the intense heat from 60 to 70 feet away. He called 911 and reported the accident moments after it happened.
Fire crews called the situation "dangerous," but they said they were able to get it under control quickly.
After the main fire was out, firefighters worked on hot spots and cleaned up the mess that was left behind.
"We've got some fuel on the ground," said Lt. Dean Hensley with the Harris County Fire Marshal's Office. "We're working to contain the runoff and also make sure there isn't any fire in the sewer system."
Hensley said the driver was able to make it out of the truck safely and he was taken by ambulance to the hospital where he's being treated for minor burns.

DİDEM ÜRER: Our prime minister issued a statement about our Syrian refugee brothers and gave the people of Reyhanli a reminder from the Qur'an: "My brothers, do not forget that my brothers in Reyhanli must act toward the refugees fleeing Assad's persecution like the people of Ansar."
ADNAN OKTAR: That is an excellent thing to say. Well said, masha'Allah, Alhamdulillah. He spoke just like a Muslim. People say, 'Why does the nation support Mr. Tayyip?' This is why. He speaks with the Qur'an. He acts with the moral values of the Qur'an. He trusts in Allah and abandons himself to Allah, and Allah grants him victory.
DİDEM ÜRER: He went on: "They must open their homes up, just as those people did in those days. If our brothers who have come from Syria are living in fear in their houses, then my brothers in Reyhanli, and myself, must talk about this.'
ADNAN OKTAR: He spoke very well. Of course, they must think hard. What would they do if their families were on the other side? Allah could have put them in that position but he put these people in that position. He has bestowed this test with great wisdom. Almighty Allah has put them in this position; believers must therefore embrace them with affection.
That bomb and everything: The communists of the alleged terror organization Ergenekon did that to muddy the waters, as an act of shame. They want to make us think badly of our refugee brothers, our guests and brothers who have sought our protection and who are entrusted to us. We must not say; 'these people have come to us. Afflictions have brought them here. They have taken our food and peace of mind. So let us chase them away. Let them kill them or do whatever they want.' We will never say that, not even if they detonate a hundred thousand bombs in Reyhanli. We will still embrace them. This is because these people do not look through the eyes of the Qur'an and Islam. Anyone who looks through the eyes of the Qur'an will understand this. (Adnan Oktar, 24 May 2013: A9 TV)2013-06-08 09:58:55

Gato on a spit con Mozzerella, I blame you for this Wayne.
No the cat on the pizza, Gato con Queso, Wayz Out!!!
Gato on a spit con Mozzerella, I blame you for this Wayne.
I'm loving it ! I will take the heat my Brother.
How to Bathe a Cat
1. Thoroughly clean the toilet.
2. Add the required amount of shampoo to the toilet water, and have both lids lifted.
3. Obtain the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.
4. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids (you may need to stand on the lid so that he cannot escape).
CAUTION: Do not get any part of your body too close where their claws
can find you.
5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a "power wash and rinse" which I have found to be quite effective.
6. Have someone open the door to the outside and ensure that there are no people between the toilet and the outside door.
7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.
8. The now-clean cat will rocket out of the toilet, and run outside.
That was funny, I want to see you do it the next time I'm down. Does Vic own any weapons?
She has one of those karate belts, brown, blue, I don't know. She put her foot up to my chin one time faster than I could say I am sorry so that is all I needed to know.[B)]
Hee hee hee hee hee !
I would not mess with her either, I believe that girl could let loose that Italin temper. When it explodes, watch out!!!!!
That's Bertie, she knows Kung Fu. She's Guido's sister. She goes kick Petey's butt out of bed when he's feeling better. Unfortunately, he's not feling so well these days.
Italian, Apache, Mexican, yikes look out fot the judo chop.
