This little gem was put together by a friend after I gave him a bunch of these test/practice grenades found by me in a house I was renovating.
He actually pulled the pin,tossed the grenade into his downtown rear yard, and was deafened by the resulting explosion., as were his neighbors! He quickly picked up and hid the evidence,and later put together this little piece for me. We had no idea the firing detonators were that powerful. Lesson learned.

The Penny Key Chain turned out perfect and arrived on time! So excited to give this to my husband as a daddy-to-be gift!
Lovely ...the perfect size to slip on any size silver hoops.. ty for sending so quickly !!
Gorgeous engraved bookmark! The Cap Creations is wonderfully communicative and helpful; I got exactly what I wanted. Fast shipping too! Highly recommend!!
I waited till the last minute to order an anniversary gift but they were able to get it to me in less than a week! So precious!
I loved my product. There were some complications with ordering but the store did a great job in helping me get what I wanted and getting it quickly.
Perfect valentines gift for my husband. I chose to add two pennies, one for our anniversary and one for our daughter's birth. Can't wait to give it to him!
One of the most beautiful jewelry pieces I have ever bought. Absolutely stunning. Great ship time, great communication. Will shop again. Excellent all around!
What you see is what you get here. It's simple but to the point. I ordered this for my granddaughter to give her daddy. i had stamped DADDY HOLDS OUR HEART and then had the wife, and two kids/ names on the washers.....very pleased
Beautiful bracelet!!! Timely delivery and cute packaging! Thank you!!
Very nice bracelet and engraving. Friends think we all should have one for a milestone birthday. Shipped very timely.
I ordered the Oval Engraved Bracelet, different monogram in August 2012 and I LOVE it. So this one is for my new daughter. Thank you for such a great and durable product. Thank you! Liz
I just wanted to let you know what a blessing your jewelry has been. I ordered a "name it" necklace last Christmas for my daughter in law with the disk being inscribed with the name of our soon to be born 1st grandchild. Our grandchild was born and my daughter in law wears it everyday to work for two reasons....one to keep her little one close while she is away and the second reason is she works giving radiation to cancer patients and it keeps her focused on life! This year, the perfect gift for her is a disk ( which I ordered) with my son's name on it( her husband), again now at a difficult job she has both of her important boys with her. Also, my daughter got married this year which is another miracle after surviving a near fatal car crash so I ordered her a necklace with her husband name on it and I know it will be as meaningful as the last one. I know this sounds a little hokey but it is true and I just wanted you to know that making afford pieces that are special means something to us, just a regular family out there...so again thank u for your service and pray that it arrives by Christmas !

100 Horsemen and the empty city: A game theoretic examination of deception in Chinese military legend
We present game theoretic models of two of the most famous military bluffs from history. These include the legend of Li Guang and his 100 horsemen (144 BC), and the legend of Zhuge Liang and the Empty City (228 AD). In both legends, the military commander faces a much stronger opposing army, but instead of ordering his men to retreat, he orders them to act in a manner consistent with baiting the enemy into an ambush. The stronger opposing army, uncertain whether it is facing a weak opponent or an ambush, then decides to flee and avoid battle. Military scholars refer to both stories to illustrate the importance of deception in warfare, often highlighting the creativity of the generals' strategies. We model both situations as signaling games in which the opponent is uncertain whether the general is weak (i.e. has few soldiers) or strong (i.e. has a larger army waiting to ambush his opponent if they engage in combat). We then derive the unique Perfect Bayesian Equilibrium of the games. When the probability of a weak general is high enough, the equilibrium involves mixed strategies, with weak generals sometimes fleeing and sometimes bluffing about their strength. The equilibrium always involves the generals and their opponents acting as they did in the historical examples with at least a positive probability. When the probability of a weak general is lower (which is reasonable given the reputations of Li Guang and Zhuge Liang), then the unique equilibrium always involves bluffing by the general and retreat by his opponent.

EU Week Ahead: March 4 – 8
The Eurogroup and EcoFin will be the highlight of next week, but the European Union capital is also getting visits from the Israeli president as well as the leaders of Serbia and Kosovo.
Here are some of the key events for next week:
Cyprus's new finance minister will attend his first Eurogroup on Monday, but officials warn a rescue package for the Mediterranean island state is still some way off. Ministers will discuss whether to give Ireland and Portugal more time to repay their bailout loans and hope to make some progress on giving their rescue fund the power to help failing banks more directly.
Monday will also be the day of the sixth EU-chaired meeting between Ivica Dačić, prime minister of Serbia, and Hashim Thaçi, prime minister of Kosovo. The meeting aims at easing relations between the two capitals.

Goli Mahallati has a new print this Melody of Autumn is an edition size of only 45 will sell out fast. GOLI MAHALLATI — Goli Mahallati's triumphant spirit and newly found freedom to express herself is evident in her paintings by the proud stateliness of her independent figures, the emotional connection between couples and joyous gatherings of friends. She was strongly impacted by her multi-cultural surroundings as a young girl raised in Persia. Leaving her birthplace to seek opportunities that were not in accord to young women under an ultra-conservative government, Goli settled in Massachusetts where she earned a MA degree. She currently lives in California where she devotes herself to painting.Goli Mahallati's paintings are a zone where reality and dream, color and form are suspended. They are poetic expressions that transcend the object and become icon of sensory impressions. Most such paintings are at the danger of falling into the abyss of decoration, but her paintings, while at first appearing decorative, soon evoke myriad sensations that are often burdened by distress and a sense of loss. This is perhaps due to the fact that her abstract treatment of the form is not free of objective connections. Her paintings communicate a sense of subjective relations to a world whose many faces of tragedy, joy, insecurity and love are coalesced into one. The ambiguity in her paintings is shadowy zones where we recognize so much of our world and selves. Through a simple and laconic depiction of a form she opens doors into volumes of thoughts and sensations. Significantly, her paintings mediate the tensions that are symptomatic of contemporary art. The warm and luminescent color palette, the mysterious forms lead to unified sense of energies often lacking in post-modernism. Her paintings are less about thinking and more about intriguing energies from which they have arisen. Goli Mahallati graduated with a Bachelors from the University of Tehran in 1977 and with her Masters from AIC (American International College) in Massachusetts in 1979. She worked for several years studying for her Ph D at U Mass (University of Massachusetts) until she eventually moved to Southern California, where she now resides.

TAYLORSVILLE — Ann Baker Jones, 69, of Taylorsville, a senior missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints serving in the church's Texas San Antonio Mission, died Friday after suffering severe burns in a Thursday night fire caused by a gas leak in a kitchen stove.
President John Jewkes of the Taylorsville Utah North Stake said he understood that Sister Jones and her husband, Steven K. Jones, were preparing for bed when the fire broke out. LDS Church spokesman Scott Trotter said Sister Jones "was immediately flown to the Brooke Army Medical Center at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio after the accident, where she later passed away with her husband by her side."
Jewkes said Elder Jones was not injured in the fire.
The couple has been serving in Texas since February, Jewkes said, adding that they were living in a double-wide mobile home on a remote ranch owned by members of the LDS Church in Texas.
"Ann Jones was deeply loved by all who knew her," Jewkes said. "She was a wonderful wife and mother and a faithful Latter-day Saint. She was excited to serve the Lord in any way she could. Given the circumstances, it's clear she has been called by Him to a greater work."
Jewkes said that although Jones family members and friends are "shaken by this, they are people of great faith. Their faith in that same gospel that Ann Jones has been preaching on her mission will see them through this."
Speaking on behalf of the LDS Church, Trotter said "we extend our love and sympathy to Elder Jones, his family, friends and ward members. We pray that the spirit of the Lord will bring them peace, comfort and healing."

Washington (Jun. 6)
The failure of the British Government and State Department to take steps to carry out the recommendation of the Anglo-American inquiry committee that 100,000 Jews be admitted to Palestine immediately was scored in Congress today by several Senators.
Sen. James Tunnell, Democrat of Delaware, told the Senate that if the British Government had no intention of permitting these 100,000 Jews to go to Palestine, it should immediately issue a clear-cut statement to that effect "so that there might not be false hopes aroused and promises impossible of fulfillment made. If because of its Arab interests it cannot do justice to the Jewish people, it should surrender its mandate," he said.
Sen. Robert A. Taft, Republican of Ohio, reviewed the actions of the United States and British Governments with regard to Jewish immigration into Palestine, and said he thought there was no military problem whatever involved since "the British have many thousand of troops in Palestine." He scored the State Department for "promoting further delay" by asking further arguments from interested parties.
Sen. Robert F. Wagner, Democrat of New York, said he was "most concerned about whatever future attempts will be made somewhere along the line in our Department of State again to minimize and to whittle down the import of President Truman's stand and thus to postpone the actual entry of the 100,000 Jews into Palestine."
Sen. Claude Pepper, Democrat of Florida, told of his trip to Palestine last year and said he returned "completely convinced" that the charge that 100,000 immigrants could not be absorbed by the Palestine economy was "totally unfounded in fact." He suggested that the Palestine Mandate be given to the United Nations trusteeship since the Arab states are members and would then feel that they will have some say in its administration.
Short statements endorsing the inquiry committee's recommendation were also read by Senators James Msad of New York, Kenneth Wherry of Nebraska, Edwin Johnson of Colorado, Joseph Guffey of Pennsylvania, David Walsh of Massachusetts, Homer Ferguson of Michigan and James Huffman of Ohio, They also charged the State Department with causing further delay by asking for opinions on the recommendations of the committee and scored the British Government for conditioning the immigration of the 100,000 on disbandment of the Haganah.

Consignment sale season gets underway; check our updated database
Posted January 14, 2014
The 2014 spring/summer consignment sale season is here! These are the sales that pop up twice a year in empty storefronts, churches and elsewhere.
This season's sales will focus on spring and summer clothes and gear. Expect to find lots of Easter outfits, bathing suits, play clothes and more. Most sales also sell all sorts of toys, nursery equipment, maternity clothes, books and other items.
As usual, the massive Kids Exchange at the N.C. State Fairgrounds kicks off the season. The sale opens to the public on Jan. 24 (volunteers and consignors get to shop earlier).
After that, most, but not all, of the sales are planned in March. I've updated our database, which includes 39 sales in the region. Not all of the sales have finalized their locations or schedules, so check back for updates.
There is still plenty of time to sign up to consign or volunteer at the sales. Consignors earn a percentage of the sales of their items. Both volunteers and consignors usually get to shop the sales before the public. So now is the time to start cleaning out those closets!

(francais suivra) E.African drought 'most catastrophic' in generation:
British Prime Minister David Cameron on Monday labelled the drought in east Africa the worst catastrophe to hit the region in a generation, urging the world to take "urgent and decisive action".
"It is becoming increasingly clear that what we are seeing today is the most catastrophic situation in that region for a generation," he said during a press conference in Pretoria at the start of his African tour.
"Tens of thousnads may have died already, many of them children under five," he said, urging the world to take "urgent and decisive action."
Britain on Saturday promised 52 million pounds (59 million euro, 73 million dollars) in emergency aid, and Cameron urged other nations to follow suit.
"I would urge those who are still considering their responses to act without delay," he said.
The Horn of Africa's current drought is its worst in decades.
The UN children's agency UNICEF estimates that more than two million children in the Horn of Africa region are malnourished and need urgent help, while some 500,000 of them face imminent, life-threatening conditions.

Evgeny Novikov and Conrad Rautenbach feeling bullish pre-Poland.

Citroen Junior Team duo Evgeny Novikov and Conrad Rautenbach can't wait for Rally Poland this week, the eighth round in the 2009 World Rally Championship.
Novikov and Rautenbach both went pretty well earlier this month in Greece, with the latter finishing fifth, while the former was in P4 and looking strong, until transmission problems on the final day cost him more than 15 minutes and dropped him to 16th.
Novikov still had a lot to be happy about though, as he posted his first WRC stage win on the Friday - and then took an additional three on day two.
The 18-year-old, whose potential is becoming increasingly clear, is now hoping once more to show off his talent.
"Rally Poland is a new event for everyone and a great opportunity for us to show our speed," commented the Russian, who scored his first WRC points in Sardinia. "I can't wait to get to the start so that we can continue making progress."
Rautenbach meanwhile is also very enthusiastic and he too will be out to score, something he has managed three times already this year.
"I don't know Poland at all and I know the rally even less," added the Zimbabwean. "From what I have understood, the roads there are going to be quick.
"If the route looks anything like Finland then I'll be very happy, because I love those types of roads.
"We learnt a lot in Greece and I really can't wait to get stuck back into the action again this week!"
For the record, as was the case in Sardinia and Greece, Rautenbach and Novikov have both been nominated to score manufacturer points in Mikolajki, while Sebastien Ogier will drive the 'third' Citroen Junior Team car.

Hope that helps.
I have the same problem and did the disc error check suggested above, but it did not help. I downloaded the file and put it in several places, but when I tell MS Office to look for it where i put it the response is "Not a valid location"
and then it shuts down. It wants the file to be in some specific location, but doesn't say where that location is!!!!
I put it in the Windows/system 32 folder plus a couple of other locations as well but all of them got the same response. Very frustrating when the repair program needs to be repaired in order to be used!!!!

"This was good. Everyone loved it and the sauce was great. It was very fattening, but good. We did pour the sauce on the chicken and it just made it that much yummier!"
Reviewed Jan. 9, 2009
"This was very delicious! I did not put the sauce over the chicken for my children because I did not think it would go over well. The adults didn't feel the sauce was really necessary because the chicken had so much flavor. I served it with pasta and fruit. It definately was a good meal that I will prepare again."

See My Wife review
Summary: See My Wife is supposedly real amateur submitted videos and pictures. We are not entirely convinced though, but it should feed any amateur lover's fantasy. There is not a huge amount of content yet, so its main assets is the bonus sites from Reality Kings Network.
Tamesin, 2008-07-24
Amateur, Mature / MILF, Blowjob, Boobs, Butts, Videos, Movies, Hardcore, Mega-Sites
home made, home videos, Reality Kings, user submitted
Intro promises
- 100% user submitted homemade porn
- What's not mentioned on the tour is that you get access to 24 other sites within the Reality Kings network
First impression
I like the premise of user submitted porn. Some of these women look very amateur, which is refreshing. Others look like typical porn stars with the silicone enhanced breasts. So, I guess you could say there's something for everyone in here if you like amateur porn.

Our opinion
Navigation is pretty simple in See My Wife. Along the top is Home; Browse & Search (by keyword); Favorites; Sites (access to bonus sites); Cams (Reality King models); Get Laid (online personals); and Specials. Below the menu are the latest updates. Under "This Weeks Updates" is an episode that is more than a week old. From the most recent updates, the pattern seems to be an update every two weeks. Before April 18, there was about one update per week. I clicked the link to view all the updates, and there are only around 20 episodes. On April 22nd, however, there was an announcement that See My Wife is a new site recently launched, so that's probably why there's not much content here.
Bear in mind that there is more than one wife per update. I was confused at first by the thumbnails because they show different women in each of the updates. Apparently each episode is named after one of the wives featured, because once you click on the thumbnails, the description lets you know that more than one wife is featured in her own video. The ones I watched had two separate videos put back to back. The photo galleries also contain two separate women, so each episode appears to have four different "wives." There's also a notation within the site that states: "These are amateur submitted videos and pictures so there is usually either pictures or movies of the same couple, not both."
You can stream the videos in one minute clips or longer clips (the movie is broken into two big clips). You have the option of downloading the movie in these longer clips or as the full movie. The ones I viewed opened in WMV to 640x480 or 720x480 pixel sized screen and have pretty good quality - better than I've seen in some so-called professional videos! The videos are very amateur, though, in that some of the video operators have that dreaded herky jerky movement; however, for the most part, you won't get seasick watching these videos. The videos I watched were over 30 minutes in length.
The pictures are zip downloadable and open to 900x602 pixels. They're pretty good quality, especially considering these are amateur photos. There are generally between 30-50 pictures in each gallery.
Despite being amateur, there are a fair amount of fake boobs in here, as well as shaved pussies. Of all the content I saw, I didn't see any hair on the pussies. Despite this, I'd say that these women are probably amateur in that I haven't seen them on other paysites before. Additionally, the scenes of the videos seem believable. I thought the night vision video was pretty cool and definitely something you don't see very often. Plus, there are a lot of hardcore close ups in these amateur videos, so the video operators definitely know what porn viewers want to see!
See My Wife is part of Reality Kings network.
See My Wife is pretty good for amateur videos and photos. It's not a spectacular site, but if you like the premise of looking at amateur "wives" getting videotaped or photographed and proudly putting their sexy selves on the internet, then you'll like this site.
But, as I said, bear in mind there's not much content here. If you're not interested in any of the other bonus sites, then I'd suggest waiting until this site fills up with more content. If the site keeps updating - ideally more than once every two weeks - then I think this site shows a lot of promise in the amateur porn genre.

Teaneck Eulogizes Volcker
By Mary Carves
The Sunday Sun, February 21, 1960
Dozens of tributes were paid this week to the late Paul A. Volcker, retired Township manager, who died at his home in Lyons, N. Y., last Saturday.
The Rev. Lyman B. Greaves, pastor of Christ Episcopal Church, has set April 24 for a memorial service for Mr. Volcker pending arrangements with the immediate family. Mr. Volcker was a past warden of the church and active in all church programs.
Speaking at the Township Council meeting Tuesday night, Mayor Matthew Feldman stated: "Undoubtedly most of your know that Paul A. Volcker, Teaneck's first Township manager, passed away at his home Saturday. Mr. Volcker became manager in November, 1930, after the voters chose the township-manager form of government, and he filled the post with distinction for 20 years until his retirement on Sept. 1, 1950."
"I speak for all the people of Teaneck when I extend my sincere sympathies to his family on their profound loss."
Suggests Memorial
William Brett asked that councilmen discuss setting a memorial as tangible recognition of Mr. Volcker's work in establishing a model town under the manager form of government and for bringing national recognition through his personal study of government matters.
Suggested memorials were a bronze bust in the municipal building and naming of a public park, school or building. The matter will be discussed in executive council session.
Mr. Brett suggested formation of a citizens' committee to further the idea.
Mr. Volcker was the first municipal manager in Bergen County and claimed to be the first in the state. Prior to his position here he served with the New York State Highway Department as an engineer and was municipal manager of Lebonan, Pa., and Cape May.
Following his retirement, he continued as an independent consultant on municipal matters on which he was considered one of the nation's leading authorities. He aided in selecting a manager for Fair Lawn.
Varied Activities
During World War II, Mr. Volcker was active in Red Cross War Relief Committee works in Teaneck. In 1948 he was named chairman of the New Jersey State Housing Council by Gov. Alfred E. Driscoli.
During his 20 years of service here, he served on many community projects and civic activities. he was past president of the Teaneck Rotary Club.
Private funeral services were conducted at Lyons, home town of his wife, Tuesday.
Besides his wife, Alma Klippel Volcker, he is survived by three daughters, Miss Ruth and Miss Louise Volcker and Mrs. Virginia Streitfeld.

Sand Saviors Help Baby Turtles Find Their Way!
Each evening at dusk, you'll find people walking along Palm Beach Shores in Florida. It's not just because the ocean is pretty enough to warrant a daily visit, but they're looking for movement in sea turtle nests there. When volunteers locate an active nest, they lend helping hands to the leatherbacks and dig channels to create a clear pathway to water for the babies.
Umm, I'm definitely adding baby turtles to my growing list of cute animals . . . look at those lil feet scramble! Thanks runnergeek for alerting me to this cool video!

Funeral services for Matushka Pauline Warnecke will be held at Saints Peter and Paul Church, South River, NJ, at 6:00 p.m. on Monday, September 5, 2011. Visitation will begin at 5:00 p.m. at the church. A reception will follow. On Tuesday, September 6, the Divine Liturgy will be celebrated at 9:30 a.m., followed by coffee and light fare.
At 7:00 p.m. Tuesday evening, a Panikhida will be celebrated at Saints Peter and Paul Church, Syracuse, NY. On Wednesday, September 7, the Burial Service/Panikhida followed by interment will be celebrated at 10:00 a.m. A reception will follow.
Matushka Pauline, 89, fell asleep in the Lord on Friday, September 2, after a brief illness. She was the wife of the late Protopresbyter Alexander Warnecke, long-time pastor of Saint Peter and Paul Church, Syracuse, NY.
Born Pauline Stepanovna Shafran to Stephan and Rosalia Shafran in Olyphant, PA on July 2, 1922, she was a fraternal twin. She and her twin brother, Archpriest Paul Shafran of Trenton, NJ, were the youngest of the family's five children. Their sisters, Olga Dakunchak and Matushka Sonia Labowsky, and their brother Emilian Shifron [sic], predeceased her.
She married seminarian Alexander Warnecke, at the time a student at Saint Vladimir's Seminary, at All Saints Church, Olyphant, on September 4, 1948. After his ordination in 1950, she and Father Alexander began their life-long ministry at Saint Peter and Paul Church, Syracuse, NY, until his repose in July 2001.
She graduated from Saint James Hospital School of Nursing, Newark, NJ, in 1943. She received additional professional training as a nurse anesthetist at Mount Carmel-Mercy Hospital School for Anesthesia, Detroit, MI, from which she graduated in 1948. She worked for over 40 years as a nurse anesthetist at the VA Hospital in Syracuse, NY. After retiring in her mid-70s, she continued to volunteer at the VA until relocating to Monroe, NJ in 2001. She was a pioneer in her field; she and a few other women of her time paved the way for opportunities for women in mid-level health care positions. She helped many parishioners and immigrants in Syracuse and elsewhere navigate healthcare options and sought out medical pro-bono services for those in need.
She was well known as a hospitable and gracious hostess, welcoming parishioners, friends, acquaintances, and strangers into her home, especially for dinners. She helped provide housing and comfort for many through the years. Her love was not only extended to other persons, but to animals, which she loved. Throughout her adult life, she rescued and adopted numerous dogs and cats from shelters. As a child of the Great Depression, she was known for her frugality and industrious work ethnic, yet she always shared the fruits of her labor freely. She was known for her love of Russian culture, and she supported local linguistic, cultural, and artistic happenings in the Syracuse and New York City areas. She maintained an extensive collection of Russian art, icons, and artifacts.
In her later years, Matushka Pauline enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and took an interest in a variety of activities. She was fond of recalling past memories with her twin brother, Father Paul, with whom she shared the qualities of persistance and sturdiness.
After moving to New Jersey, she became a parishioner of Saints Peter and Paul Church, South River, before moving to Saints Cosmas and Damian Adult Home, Staten Island, NY, where she attended services at Saint Irenaeus Chapel. She was much beloved by the staff and her fellow residents, with whom she enjoyed many activities.
In addition to her twin brother, Father Paul, and Matushka Mary Shafran, she is survived by two daughters, Daria York and Argyra Lapchuk; her sister-in-law Elizabeth Youngblood; eight nieces and nephews; six grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren. A fifth great-grandchild is anticipated to be born in the near future.
Donations in Matushka Pauline's memory may be made to Saint Andrew's Camp, c/o Jeffrey Hoff, 575 Scarsdale Road, Tuckahoe, NY, 10707, noting in the memo line that it is in her memory. On-line donations may be made www.standrewscamp.com.
May Matushka Pauline's memory be eternal!

Picture: Kelly Osbourne arriving at Heathrow after a long delay on her flight from Los Angeles London, England - 19.10.10
Kelly Osbourne is relieved she's managed to overcome her painkiller addiction - because she fears she would have suffered the same fate as Michael Jackson.
Ozzy Osbourne's daughter has a long history of substance abuse but successfully conquered her demons following several stints in rehab.
The reality star has now opened up about her drug problems in a new interview with British journalist Piers Morgan, revealing at the height of her downward spiral she was taking up to 50 pills a day.
And she is still haunted by the deaths of stars like the late King of Pop, who died from an overdose of prescription painkillers, because she is convinced she was heading down the same tragic path.
In an upcoming episode of Piers Morgan's Life Stories, she says, "At the start I only took one (pill) every weekend. Then it was one every weekday, then two a day, then three. By the end I was taking so many pills I was on my hands and knees vomiting blood because the drug was ripping away my stomach lining. I was taking 50 a day, more than twice the legal dosage, and every day I took one more, hoping I wouldn't wake up.
"If I hadn't gone into rehab then, I'm sure I wouldn't be here now. I feel very lucky because people die every day from taking painkillers like Vicodin, and I was taking much more than them. Michael Jackson, Brittany Murphy - the list goes on. But I got a chance to fix my life."

Inspired by a drug ring that used Hasidic Jews to transport over one million pills of ecstasy to the United States in a six-month period between 1998 and 1999, Kevin Asch's Holy Rollers stars Jesse Eisenberg as a good old Brooklyn boy turned mid-level dope importer. Driven by the sense of economic inferiority and sexual uncertainty that the film suggests lies latent at the heart of the Hasidic experience, Eisenberg's Sam Gold hooks up with a neighborhood hot shot who promises him the chance to earn extra gelt by transporting "medicine" back from Amsterdam. Both intoxicated and repelled by the undercurrent of the forbidden, Sam reluctantly dedicates himself to his new pursuit; it's not long before he's cutting off his payess and striking deals with the suppliers on his own. Nicely detailed in its early scenes of Hasidic life (if somewhat less so in its depiction of the drug operation) and powered by Eisenberg's finely graded performance, Holy Rollers is too beholden to its predictable pattern of rise, fall and partial redemption. Failing to generate either excitement as a crime story or credibility as a morality play, the film ultimately confirms the traditional values that helped push its confused lead to the brink of damnation in the first place.

An Evangelical Christian pollster finds that atheists commit less crimes, divorce less, and are better educated than their fellow Christians.
"It is obvious that you do not have to believe in a higher power in order to live a moral and successful life. Quite the opposite," the Knoxville News' Al Westerfield writes of the study, adding that "the groups with the highest crime rate, the poorest marriages and the lowest education continually strive to force their beliefs on the nonreligious. And the politicians pander to them. Why else would they pass laws to put religion in the schools and on courthouse facades? And then they wonder why the godless could possibly be upset."
"According to a Barna Research Group report, fundamentalist Christians have the highest divorce rate, followed by Jews and Baptists," Westerfield writes:
The godless are tied with Catholics and Lutherans for the lowest divorce rate. It seems that some groups that claim to follow the Bible most strictly are not putting their money where their mouths are. The godless who are thought to be without morals seem to take their vows more seriously.

Chapter 8 (v.1) - Fall
Chapter 7: Fall
-There has been some kind of AI inside of me, speaking to me, am I correct? Venus mumbled to himself.
-Correct, the AI replied.
-What shall I call you? Venus asked the AI.
''Why should you give me a name?''
''You were programmed with a personality, correct?''
''You can make decisions, correct?''
''Then why should I not treat you like a human being?''
''Because I am not?''
''Okay then, why should I not treat you like an equal?''
''That's it, what name do you want?''
''Humans do not pick their names by themselves, correct?''
''I was created when you were enhanced, in a way, you are my parent, if I am an equal, my parents should give me my name, correct?''
''You have a point, let me see…''
''Why are we even discussing this, isn't the mission more important?''
-I cannot complete this alone, you have already been a great help to my mission, if we succeed, I do not want you to be left out, that would be a very unfair thing to do to an equal, not something I believe we should do if we are going to continue improving, I can't accomplish this mission, knowing I saved a race that can't even learn to value all sentience, because in the end, everyone has the same right to live.''
''Well then, I will not go against your beliefs.''
''I think we should call you Hallow.''
''Why Hallow?''
''I like it, do I need any other reasons?''
''No, just curious.''
''Curiosity is one of the simplest pleasures of life, value it, we have to move on though.''
''What is your plan? I recommend sneaking to craft and taking off, there is a small risk in that.''
''No, if we jump out in front of them, guns blazing, and quickly take a craft and fly away at maximum speed, then we can startle them, this might have a larger risk, however, it might delay them a little bit, if they get startled enough they won't think about summoning reinforcements instantly.
''Very well then, what kind of armor and weapons would you like?''
''Weren't there specific sets?''
''Yes, but with your tactics were going to have to mix it a lot and use different combinations, might as well get used to it.''
''Okay then, I would request some armor that weights a lot, but can still increase my mobility, do you have something like that?''
''Yes, a heavy metal armor mounted with special small rocket boosters that will automatically engage in the direction you want to move, however, it takes a large amount of energy.''
''Do it, I also request some rapid firing weapons, nothing special.''
Venus could feel the weapons and armor basically grew out of him as he stood up.
He quickly scouted the area again, no one had noticed him yet, he quickly saw a couple of ships that weren't very far away, he picked one and decided that it would be his ride off this planet.
He took a few steps backward and prepared to charge, he took a deep breath and started sprinting against the edge of the roof, as soon as he reached the very edge, he jumped.
The armor really did help, even though he could feel the weight, the rocket boosters were strong and he could hear them as they propelled him through the sky.
A few Colleral saw him while he was in the air, some of them were to confused to draw their weapons, but some were already shooting at him, they had a hard time hitting him while he was in the air, but he could still feel a few bullets hitting the armor, far away from enough to hurt him though.
After some time the rockets couldn't carry him any more though and he started falling, he hit the ground quickly and the armors weight made a heavy impact, as he landed the sound of the impact sounded like an explosion, he could see dust flying everywhere, the dust quickly wore of though and he could see that he had actually created a small crater in the ground, at the same time bullets started coming from everywhere, he could hear the sounds when they flew around him, and feel the impact when they hit him.
He took up the machineguns the enhancements had given him and started firing randomly against where the bullets came from, now, all of the Colleral knew that he was there and because of that, a lot more were shooting at him, now it was enough to hurt him.
He saw the craft again, not too far away, and started sprinting, while still firing randomly around him, he quickly got closer to the spacecraft.
However, almost right before he could get into the craft, his wounds became to major and a bullet to the chest made him trip and fall.
When he was laying at the ground he could feel the pain from all the damage he had taken in the process, he didn't have time to feel pain when running for his life, he didn't now either, but his body didn't know that, however he couldn't hear any bullets flying around anymore, so either they had stopped firing, or he was dying, either way, it seemed less painful…
He could hear footsteps, but darkness started to surround his vision, he was dying.
But he refused to, dying would be the most selfish thing he could do, if he did so no one would stop the planet and events would loop, thinking about it, events could already have looped and Venus was just experiencing what happened without being able to change fate.
But he would not accept that.
The footsteps got closer, he was surprised that they hadn't put a bullet through his head yet, that's what the Colleral usually do, in his knowledge at least.
-Hallow, how many C do we have? Venus managed to ask.
-Only the 1000 in reserve, the rest have been used on the armor, weapons and keeping you alive so far, Hallow replied
''Is the armor still on? I can't feel anything really.''
''No, I could get some spare C from it, I thought you would appreciate it considering it made you survive.''
''Oh I do, anyways, I had 1000C, can you use around 500 maybe to enhance my strength for a little while?''
''I could spread it across your nervous system, however that would remove your sustaining points and could damage your muscles because of the strain.''
''I will be either dead or imprisoned if we don't, either way we can't finish the mission, so go on.''
Venus could feel his increased mobility, he could also feel the pain from the strain that Hallow warned him about though.
He managed to stand up, slowly, he looked around and saw around twenty Colleral standing around him, most with drawn weapons.
-Do any of you speak English!? Venus yelled in a threatening voice, trying to fool them into thinking he was still strong.
One Colleral walked forward, it was a tall man, he looked like a scientist or coordinator, at least not someone who was on the battlefield often, not that Venus had any way of knowing.
-I do, the Colleral said in a slightly nervous voice.
-So, what are you going to do now? Venus yelled: ''Lock me up so I can get another chance? Or just kill me?''
There was no reply.
Venus started walking against the craft again, hoping they would just let him, not expecting it though.
One of the more armed Colleral jumped up in front of him and pushed him back.
''So you're just going to keep me here forever? What would that do?''
-Hallow, can you make any kind of hidden small arms? Venus mumbled quietly.
''It would make your sustaining resources even more dangerously low.''
''We will need it, just in my right hand, make sure they can't see it''
Venus could feel a very small firearm grow out on the lower side of his hand.
Venus quickly turned around to the Colleral blocking his path to the craft and threw is arm up to the unguarded face of the Colleral, it fired and before the body fell to the ground he had already reached the craft.
He threw the door to the craft open and jumped it, he could hear the bullets started flying again, this time they wouldn't do the mistake of letting him live.
Venus closed the door and jumped to the helm, he had learned how to control the basic maneuvers of a Colleral vessel in the academy, so he could quickly start this craft and plot a course to get out of the planets atmosphere.
-Hallow, how are my energy reserves holding up? Venus asked while the ship was starting to fly away.
''You only have the 300C in reserve, I can keep you alive, but not conscious for long.''
Venus accessed the vessels map to plot an automatic course for earth, he quickly recognized the stars and noticed he wasn't near any other Colleral base, he didn't have time to think about it yet, he plotted a course directly to earth and sat back.
He could hear the sound of the ships engines as he blacked out.

Nursing three children over the course of the last 2 decades took a toll on my breasts. Sagging, stretch marks, other scars and what I would call "puckering" made me really self conscious of my breasts to the point that I concealed them during sex (forget leaving the lights on). And mind you I am a very sexual person.
I completely avoided certain types of tops and purchasing a flattering bathing suit was always a challenge. That said I stocked up on a lot of sexy lingerie. For the most part I have been a high B/Low C and at the height of nursing I got to even an E at one point (huge/engorged). More recently I was "folding" my breast tissue into a size 36C.
I had a full TT 4 years ago and while I contemplated having a BA at that time I still was not certain that it was right for me. After all, with the scars and generally bad skin I figured why would I want to stretch that out. Also, I was having an umbilical hernia fixed with the TT so I knew the recovery was going to be painful to say the least and could not imagine tacking the boobs on at the same time.
Fast forward to last year when my best friend of 36 years got her BA and could not be happier and then another friend of mine got one as part of a mommy makeover in December. I spoke to many of my co-workers (including my boss) that I found had BAs and were happy they had done it. While I received many recommendations and contemplated going back to the surgeon that did my TT (he is in Beverly Hills and I wanted to avoid going over the hill and BH prices), one of my co-workers highly recommended her surgeon, Dr. Saul Berger, in Encino.
I kept his information for some time before finally making an appt. to see him in February. Dr. Berger and his staff were so great from the beginning and his bedside manner, years of experience, ability to convey things in terms that I would understand (to include some great sketches), and his non-BS realistic approach and understanding of my desire to have as natural result as possible really won me over. Within a week from meeting him for the first time I was making my appt. to have surgery on March 20th (pre-op on March 9th).
The postings on this site really helped me prepare for my surgery and gave me a great idea of what to expect and the comfort of knowing that I was one of many who had made this decision in their late 30s. I will say that my teenage children and even my mother was not that supportive of my decision but only because they felt that I was fine just the way I was and imagined "fake". My husband has been SUPER supportive and even though he has always been more of a leg man (thankfully) he is now considering himself more of a boob man.
The kids and mom are coming around....she even took care of me day 2 and 3 (hubby had day 1). My boobs were borderline when it came to needing a lift. The surgeon felt he may be pleasantly surprised upon placing the implant so we knew it would be a game time decision on whether or not he would do a crescent lift (adjacent to the nipple) on both or just one of my breasts (given one sat slightly lower that the other...note that I also have scoliosis). I had seen the results of another crescent lift that I thought turned out really nice so I told him to do what he had to do. Given how I scar, he was trying to avoid any unnecessary incisions. He worked off of photos of what I wanted my outcome to be. I ended up with 425 CCs of cohesive gel implants (silicone) and a crescent on my left breast.
Day one was tolerable with the pain meds and all but day two was a killer with very intense pressure. Yes...like a rhino was sitting on my chest and as a side sleeper...sleeping on my back was no fun. I did not really have to replace my gauze as I did not have any bleeding and by day 3 I was able to take a shower. I will say that on day 2 I took my bra off to inspect the gauze and when I saw how high and big my breasts were I almost fainted and second guessed my decision to have had the surgery. I was thinking please tell me these things are going to settle down...please don't let them stay this way. I seriously got hot, sweaty and light headed.
It passed and I did some research and reminded myself that it was only day two. The thing that I was immediately happy with was how good my skin looked now that it was filled in. Gone was the puckering and even the stretch marks seemed to disappear. Things have settled down and I am wearing a strap to help even my boobs out (the right one is higher) since my first post-op on March 23rd.
My surgeon does not believe in massage which was a bit of a surprise to me as everyone kept asking me when I would start massaging and even offered to help (hehe). His explanation as to why he does not prescribe it made sense to me. I have my next post-op on April 9th. This week marks two weeks post the surgery and the boobs have been taking shape daily. I am hoping my end result will be no more than a D cup. Hope this helps as I really appreciated all of the stories that I read on this site. ;-)

Before coming to any conclusions here comes the punch that is going guns in film nagar. As this producer is not able to make 'Rum' anymore, he is now coming up with 'Heart For Sale'. Check this story.
Noted producer MS Raju who went into oblivion after stalling his much talked about 'RUM' (Rambha, Urvasi, Menaka) has now come up with something new. This time, he is going to take on Tollywood with yet another love story, and the title in discussion for this project is 'Heart For Sale'. Caption for this movie title is 'Slightly Damaged'. Also MS Raju is contemplating the idea of naming the same film as 'Premakatha Lenidevariki'. Going by these titles, it could be understand that the maker actually wants to bring the hype just with title. He is now giving chance to audiences to select one among those two, but details about hero and heroine are not revealed.
Anyway, let us hope at least this new project will not end up like Trisha, Isha and Nikeesha starrer 'RUM', and will fill pockets of MS Raju with lots of coins.
