Elisa heard a scratching at the door-
So she moved in closer, so that she could hear a little more.
(What does scratching sound like?)
(What is a door?)
(Why would Elisa move in closer?)
Elisa knew that she shouldn't open the door-
Because it was locked and her Mother had gone to the store.
(What is a door?)
(Why would you lock a door?)
(What do you think her Mother was buying at the store?)
Elisa tried to watch tv so that she would no longer hear the sound-
But she kept hearing it, even when she moved around.
(What is a sound?)
(What do you hear with?)
(How do you move around a room?)
Elisa decided to listen to the radio-
But the scratching sound got louder and began to grow.
(What is a radio?)
(What does louder mean?)
(How can something grow?)
Elisa tried to read a book-
To ignore the scratching sound, she didn't want to look.
(What is a book?)
(What kind of books have you looked at?)
(Why do you think that Elisa didn't want to look?)
Elisa wished that her Mother would come back soon-
She hadn't been gone long, but it was almost noon.
(What does soon mean?)
(Why do you think she wished she'd come back soon?)
(What is noon?)
Elisa was getting hungry so she made her a snack-
Hurry back Mother, please hurry back.
(What kind of snack could Elisa have made?)
(Have you ever been hungry?)
(How do you know you're hungry?)
After eating her snack Elisa went to her room to wait-
It hadn't really been long, but Elisa felt like it was getting late.
(Where is your room?)
(Do you like to wait?)
(What does late mean?)
Surely Elisa's Mother was about to come home from the store-
And once again Elisa heard that scratching at the door.
(What could that scratching noise be?)
(Why would something be scratching at the door?)
(Why wouldn't Elisa open the door to see what was scratching at the door?)
The scratching got louder and louder and Elisa put her hands over each ear-
She wanted to do that until the scratching noise would go away or would clear.
(Can you put your hands over your ears?)
(Does it make it where you cannot hear?)
(Do you want the scratching to go away too?)
Suddenly the door popped opened and Elisa's Mother came in-
Elisa's wish had finally happened after hoping over and over again.
"Come see what is at the front door," Elisa's Mother said-
Elisa headed over to the door slowly as if her feet were filled with lead.
Why it was the sweetest, prettiest kitten that she had ever seen-
Now wasn't that wonderful…..and YOU have a Happy Halloween.

$90 Million Powerball winner plans to buy a #Subaru Forester. Go ahead, treat yourself to the power windows. http://t.co/G0RjRlgSob
We don't play the lottery very often, but when we do, even a five-dollar win is cause for celebration. So we can't possibly imagine how Paul White from Minnesota is feeling after scoring a third of this week's $448 million Powerball jackpot. It has to be an overwhelming experience, but we think he's going to end up handling it well if his first press conference is any indication.

The Jump'n Runs you DIDN'T beat - without cheats ;)
Edit 2: Who's the other guy who says Stryx is completable? More hints please!!
If you don't mind me creating another nostalgia thread (I just couldn't fit this into the other topic) - here it goes While I was looking up games some of you suggested in the other thread, I stumbled accross Fire&Ice and then fired up several other jump'n runs. I assume quite a lot of Amiga sidescrollers are near impossible to beat - or maybe I just didn't try hard enough I tried Mysterious Worlds, Leander, Stryx, Gods... So which Jump'n Runs did you actually beat without using any cheats or secret passwords and which where impossible? I will collect the beatable ones in a just-for-fun list - if your statement is convincible of course Added some random comments from the posts as well. Examples: Perfectly Beatable (most users agreed): Turrican Turrican II Turrican 3 Shadow of the Beast III (didn't really have the patience to the end, though) Edit: I just tried this again recently, this one has dead ends (you have to kill yourself to retry), only three lives and while the levels are short, the last 2 have some seriously weird crane puzzles - and everyone calls this one easy just because the enemies don't just wipe you like in the two prequels?! Seriously?!?) Flashback (maybe not really a Jump'n Run/Shoot but still) Superfrog Lion King Another World (but you do have to memorize a lot of stuff) Brian the Lion OneEscapee Adams Family Zool 2 Gianna Sisters P.P. Hammer (wow...) Chuck Rock 2 Lionheart (I beat it myself by now. with 4 credits left It's absolutely doable but finding most of the secrets/1ups is essential) Gods (some extended training sessions needed in later levels, though - and thanks jotd, I did mixed the stuck parts of it up with Cadaver ) Dracula Mysterious Worlds (according to Harry... it's doable but has some potential "breakers"...) James Pond 3 (very hard and long - but not impossible) Twinworld Lethal Weapon Ruff n Tumble (also read about it being beatable in another thread, in addition to Bamiga2002's post, so it's 2:1 that it's beatable ) Virtually Impossible (unless proven wrong - you can try ): Stryx Shadow of the Beast (Or did you...?) and it seems this game isn't the hardest on the list...? Shadow of the Beast II (Ask for: "Ten Pints" ...) The Seven Gates of Jambala BC Kid Parasol stars (from world 3) Mr. Nutz (maybe it is beatable, but the game is just ANNOYING in later levels) Rainbow Islands (bosses) Jim Power (so unforgiving. The game without compromises) Beyond the Ice Palace (same as Jim Power: just one touch and you die - Bamiga2002 claims to have completed it, though) Mission Elevator ("...was impossible to beat!" it seems) Wrath of the Demon (well, that one seems to be a tough beast) Crazy Sue Pending: Fire & Ice (still unsure, some finished it it seems...) Benefactor (also believe it's doable, but yeah the last section... well...) ...which others do you know? Edit: Added some more games to the list Last edited by dex; 14 January 2012 at 16:12. |

I've never beat any Jump'n Run/Platform game in my life as far as I can remember. Oh yeah, Giana Sisters, think it was on C-64 though. And Moonstone... not that much jumping in that one though.

@clauddio: You beat Lionheart? Amazing! Without a cheat or selecting the levels? Did you practice until you did it? I mean that must have taken ages, no? If you have a nice hint for that shoot'em up sequence on the dragon - feel free to tell
@Blazer: well Moonstone did have the fighting part in 2D in a side perspective at least But yeah it wouldn't really count as a jump'n run. Edit: I updated the list Last edited by dex; 13 August 2011 at 20:13. |

Damn, I think MOST Amigans completed Gods without any cheats!
I have beaten a lot of jump n runs, but I add few examples of games, that I personally just cant complete: Parasol stars - from world 3 just impossible for me Mr. Nutz - maybe it is beatable, but the game is just ANNOYING in later levels Fire and Ice, already mentioned Rainbow islands - I have problem with bosses Jim Power - so unforgiving. The game without compromises Beyond the Ice palace - same as Jim Power: just one touch and you die Ruff n Tumble - the game is perfectly ballanced, I love it... EXCEPT spikey level 4-4, which I simply hate! |

Lionheart is easy enough. You get tons of extra lives/a bigger heart container, potions. Don't run straight through the game.

@Retro-Nerd: Yes, I always reach the level with the dragon sequence but I never beat that. Regardless of the extra lives I collected - I loose them all after some time near the end (?) of the stage -_- Is there something to enhance the performance of the dragon as well?
@Predseda: As a huge fan of the Bitmaps I have to say that Chaos Engine is actually the most balanced (even easy at times) of their games and also perfectly beatable. Gods is ok until the very last world, I never ever was able to complete it - but judging by this longplay http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBgt7XkLxvQ I guess I just need to try harder I never finished Xenon 2, though, but that's a shmup anyway. I'll change this in the list. I'd love to hear some more comments about Gods, too I remember there being situations where you could only do something once and in case of any mistake you couldn't complete the level. Which isn't exactly good game design - or is it and we are just becoming to weak while spoiled from today's games? Or am I wrong and every situation in the game is solvable withoug getting stuck...?

@Retro-Nerd: thanks, at least I can see now how long the dragon part actually is Edit + Possible Lionheart Spoiler: What? That sequence is so close to the end? However, the boss (which I have never seen before because I lost all my lives just a little earlier...) is rock hard, even the guy in the longplay dies there. Not to mention what comes next...
I added a poll but started it too early, and now it's not possible to edit it -_- So - the question is actually a bit misleading now... just select the game(s) you think are beatable and humanly possible with enough effort Last edited by dex; 13 August 2011 at 23:15. |

Lionheart can be easily completed even in lionhard mode and Jim Power is way too easy.
I can finish the game with 12 or 13 lives, WTF ? |

Mysterious Worlds has a level 2 end dragon where you must get very close to shoot it (and hope that it does not breathe fire in that time; the shot range is increased in the whdload version so you can stay outside his fire range and still hit it), and a level 3 end boss which can not be hit always due a bug in the scrolling (also fixed in the whdload version). As its only 4 levels, it can be completed with some effort in the whdload version, but it is very unforgiving - if you die with the super shot active in level 1-3, you can start a new game.

Woah... well I would still consider this "virtually impossible" if it has "game breaking" stuck situations. Nice to hear some in-depth information about progress in the game though. I don't know I somehow really like that game (music obviously but also the graphics, so simple yet so nicely tiny ) I guess I will have to try this one again... do you remember games like this being in Amiga FUN, with that nice golden logo, when in one issue you had a real gem just to be let down by a crappy one in the next? There was Quik&Silva, Metal Law or Vyrus in that series, damn I miss that stuff...

It's been a long time since I've played Leander. Without trying it again, I would say TwinWorld would be one of the best Platform games. Haven't beaten it yet but really enjoy playing it.

Oh yeah Twinworld is great, can't remember beating that one hmm... I just tried Leander again, though. I think it's not as difficult as I remembered it, it's actually quite possible to beat it. On the normal difficulty I could easily reach the third stage and you could even add continues in the options menu There was some kind of dragon on the way and I actually died a few times when it started to move into my direction. But if you played these parts once (and died once...) it's not that much of a problem
I guess no one really played Stryx, right? It has that nice box, nice intro and nice music - just like all the Psygnosis/Psyclapse games. Until you reach the first level of course... no sound, strange graphics, weird controls and no idea what to do Just like all the... you get the idea Still, I wonder if someone finished it at all... |

Office + Craft Room Inspiration
Tuesday, January 21, 2014
8 comments:
Not sure if it would matter for your use, but we have desk #1 and I LOVE it! I've used the desk to move into other spaces for parties, etc - and the fact that I can move it on my own is also hugely helpful. We actually damaged the heck out of the original top during some crazy-college days, and I got a much nicer glass top of our now "grown-up" house.
ReplyDeleteI love #1 but, when she starts crawling I could see her crawling right up on those low shelves. Don't know if that's an issue for you or not but, would be my only reservation. I'm so glad you posted these because I've been looking for a table like both of these to add to the other side of my desk for the same reason!! Can't wait to see it all together!!
ReplyDeleteOhh...although I love desk #1, I think you should get #2. There's more room for you to move your chair around and like Shayna said, it might be a problem when your little one starts climbing. It looks like #2 has more counter space too and you can stack some filers or shelves there. Heck, just get both. You can use #1 as your craft table and #2 for your office table. hahaha!
http://abeautifulrawr.comI actually just bought desk #1 last month! And I have desk #2 in my craft room so here goes my advice- desk #1 looks nicer but it takes up so much space. The legs underneath are so wide that it leaves a very narrow space for leg room. Also the only desk top that works with those legs is the largest one they have, it's very boxy and squarish, opposed to desk #2 which is long and narrow. I much perfer to work at my desk #2 because it's easier to spread different projects out. I also perfer the space I still have in my tiny craft room after adding that desk to it. Desk #1 looks nice but I put mine in an entirely empty room that's going to be my future photography office and it just takes up so much space. Also, desk #1 cost me $90 total with the legs and table top and desk #2 only cost me $35 (I used plain legs instead of curved ones though.)
Hope this helps you decide!!I would love to have a bright white work place - that's were inspiration lives isn't it!?

With four starting positions to fill, Mike Reynolds, the boy's basketball coach at Jellico High School, got a chance to evaluate talent during three summer camps.
Considering their losses, the Blue Devils didn't look half bad in camps at Fulton, the University of the Cumberlands and Georgetown University. Jellico finished its summer schedule with a respectable 15-10 overall record.
"I never like to read too much into records during the summer, but it's good for the kids to play against teams like these," said Reynolds.
The Knoxville Track Club Summer Youth Track Program has grown by leaps and bounds at the site hosted by Campbell County High School.
This is the fifth year that CCHS has hosted biweekly practice sessions, and participation numbers keep climbing.
Replacing a pair of 1,000-point career scorers will be of paramount importance this year for the Campbell County High School girl's basketball team.
Gone is Jessica Moore, an NCAA Division I college basketball signee, and Candice Seiber, both of which led a balanced attack in which eight players scored at least 100 points during the season.
The Academy of Martial Arts, located at LaFollette Fitness Center, hosted a tournament competition on Saturday, May 22. Students from martial arts schools in Tennessee and Kentucky competed in the event. The all-day tournament included kata, weapons, point fighting, sport jujitsu and grappling events. Competitors ranged in age from 8 years old through adult.
Senior instructor Larry Bostic was extremely pleased with his competition teams performance.
Kids that attended the 3rd annual Campbell County Soccer Association Camp last week at LaFollette got more than help with their athletic skills.
They also good a few geography lessons.
Brian Miracle of LaFollette recently received a prestigious NAIA Champions of Character award during the Tennessee Wesleyan College Athletic Banquet.
Last year, the University of the Cumberlands volleyball team sponsored a young girl named Aileen from Tumaini Miles of Smiles Orphanage, Kenya.
Late next month, several members of the UC team will have the opportunity to visit Aileen while volunteering their services at the orphanage and community.
The delegation will include former Jellico High School standout Tommie Thompson as well as Amanda Hensley from Powell; Courtney Fout from Miamisburg, Ohio; and their coach, Kara Clemenz.
The group will travel to Acworth, Ga. for training camp July 20-22.
Kristin Chapman could hardly believe her good fortune.
When her final two competitors failed to clear the bar Thursday on their first attempt at 5-6 in the girl's state Class AAA high jump finals, the Campbell County High School sophomore saw an opportunity to win the event.
She didn't hesitate.
"I didn't think about it. I didn't let it get in my head," said Chapman, who cleared 5-6 on her first attempt to become the youngest CCHS athlete to win a state championship.
Five Campbell County girls were chosen to the Lincoln Memorial University cheerleading squad following a recent tryout.
They are Lori Adkins of Caryville, Erica Ayers of Jacksboro, Cheyenne Baker and Hannah Byrge of LaFollette and Shannon Wilder of Jacksboro.
Adkins, Ayers, Baker and Byrge are recent graduates of Campbell County High School. Wilder is a recent graduate of the J. Frank White Academy.
Jacksboro Middle School's girls were the toast of Campbell County during regular season track and field meets. The Lady Eagles finished up well in postseason meets, with second place in the Area 2 North Championships and third place at Sectionals.
At the Area 2 North Championships this year at Oak Ridge, Michaela Smith was a double event winner for the Lady Eagles with first-place finishes in the shot put (25-10) and discus (72-7 1/2). Hannah Owens also won the high jump (4-2) and Emily Byrge the long jump (13-4) for Jacksboro.

Package: kontact Version: 4:3.4.3-1 Followup-For: Bug #280175 I am running KMail from within Kontact. I had problems reading openPGP/MIME encrypted messages - including ones that I sent myself (with encryption to myself). KMail always reported that the passphrase is wrong - when it didn't even ask me for it in the first place. Evenually I found out that running KMail on its own (not from within Kontact) solves this problem. I also read these bugs, but they are not necessarily the same as my case, since they talk about KMail stand-alone (which works fine for me): http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=354382 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=280175 (maybe, depends if KMail is run stand-alone) -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12shl Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages kontact depends on: ii kdelibs4c2a 4:3.5.1-2 core libraries for all KDE applica ii libc6 2.3.5-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:4.0.2-9 GCC support library ii libkcal2b 4:3.4.3-1 KDE calendaring library ii libkdepim1a 4:3.4.3-1 KDE PIM library ii libkpimidentities1 4:3.4.3-1 KDE PIM user identity information ii libqt3-mt 3:3.3.5-4 Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime v ii libstdc++6 4.0.2-9 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 Versions of packages kontact recommends: ii kaddressbook 4:3.4.3-1 KDE NG addressbook application ii kitchensync 4:3.4.3-1 Synchronization framework ii kmail 4:3.4.3-1 KDE Email client ii knode 4:3.4.3-1 KDE news reader ii knotes 4:3.4.3-1 KDE sticky notes ii korganizer 4:3.4.3-1 KDE personal organizer -- no debconf information

Wilhelm has completed online and offline ID verification.
We had a wonderful experience hosting Will and his guests! Will was always thoughtful and highly attentive in all communications we had. Upon speaking to him during their arrival, Will demonstrated himself to be very polite, professional and courteous. Will and his guests maintained excellent condition of the apartment during their stay and therefore, when they checked-out, everything was left in pristine condition. We happily and highly recommend Will and his guests to other Airbnb hosts!
Wilhelm and his beautiful and really nice girlfriend stay a few days in our place, they are very quiet, discreet, educated, well travelled, the room was very clean when they checked out, we almost never saw them since they took advantage of this well situated area , and were sightseeing or at the beach all day.

Gains were broad, with nine of the S&P's 10 primary sectors up in trading. The rally extended gains from Friday, when the S&P 500 and Dow Jones industrial average posted their best day since March on news Russia would cease military exercises near the Ukraine border. The market seemed little affected by news Russia would send an aid convoy to eastern Ukraine, a move Western officials have said could serve as a pretext for an invasion.
Nato chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen warned that he still sees a "high probability" that Russia, using the guise of a humanitarian mission, could intervene militarily in Ukraine. "From a fundamental standpoint, the big reason why we bounced back so sharply was because a big piece of geopolitical concern has been somewhat alleviated by the news of a Russia pullback," said Adam Sarhan, chief executive of Sarhan Capital in New York.
"So far, the markets have been holding up pretty strong, with the bulls showing up last week and defending support levels." Stocks also climbed as the United States continued air strikes against Islamic State militants in northern Iraq over the weekend and as Israeli and Palestinian negotiators resumed talks mediated by Egypt on Monday. Kinder Morgan Inc shares jumped 10.8 percent to $40.00, hitting all-time highs. The energy company said on Sunday that it would put all its publicly traded units under one roof in a $70 billion deal, an amount including $27 billion in assumed debt.
The company's other units, Kinder Morgan Partners, Kinder Morgan Management, and El Paso Pipeline Partners , also rallied. The J.P. Morgan Alerian exchange-traded note tracking energy master limited partnerships rose 3.6 percent. The Dow Jones industrial average was up 55.1 points, or 0.33 percent, to 16,609.03, the S&P 500 rose 10.39 points, or 0.54 percent, to 1,941.98 and the Nasdaq Composite added 37.75 points, or 0.86 percent, to 4,408.65.
Shares of companies developing potential treatments for the Ebola virus rose amid growing calls to expedite research funding and drug approvals. US-listed shares of Tekmira surged 13 percent to $23.40, Sarepta Therapeutics gained 5.9 percent to $22.35 and NanoViricides was up 0.5 percent to $4.30. Also up was Priceline Group Inc, which rose 2.7 percent to $1,316.06, after the company said quarterly revenue rose 26 percent. Chiquita Brands International Inc climbed 31 percent to $13.18 in its biggest one-day advance since its 2002 trading debut. Juice maker Cutrale Group and Brazilian investment firm Safra Group offered to buy the company.

2010 MINI Cooper John Cooper Works John Cooper Works 2dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
We previously owned a 2006 BRG MC, and absolutely loved the car. We purchased the 2010 JCW a couple weeks ago and WOW what an upgrade. From the Harmon Kardon audio, to more comfortable interior, this car has exceeded my wife's expectations as well as my own. The only downside is the recommendation not to exceed 4000 RPM during the first 1000 miles-this car is begging to be motored...we cannot wait to feel the redline performance of this car. As for Breaking, you tap the pedal and the brakes grab, and grab hard-the seat belts are more for controlled breaking than inmpact! You will appreciate the stopping power-you will love the acceleration and burble of the engine and exhaust!

Rep. Paul Ryan
"We have an increasingly lawless presidency where he is actually doing the job of Congress, writing new policies and new laws without going through Congress. Presidents don't write laws, Congress does," Rep. Paul Ryan told ABC. "Executive orders are one thing, but executive orders that actually change the statute, that's totally different."

WGOT is kicking off National Poetry Month on Sunday March 29th
with North Carolina's 2015 Poet Laureate, Shelby Stephenson
Shelby Stephenson will be reading his poetry and engaging us in an afternoon of conversation about his work and process of writing.
An Afternoon of Poetry and Tea
On Sunday, March 29, 2:00-4:00 pm.,The Writers Group of the Triad proudly presents 2015 North Carolina's Poet Laureate, Shelby Stephenson. Come sip tea as he engages the audience in an entertaining afternoon of poetry, conversation, and an explanation about his process of writing.
Among a range of awards won for his twelve (12) books, Stephenson won the 2001 North Carolina Award in Literature and Bellday Poetry Prize. Stephenson's most recent book, Play My Music Anyhow, came out in 2013 and he served as the long time editor of Pembroke magazine. Growing up near Benson in the Coastal Plain of North Carolina, he has said, "My early teachers were the thirty-five foxhounds my father hunted. The trees and streams, fields, the world of my childhood…" Stephenson has recorded four albums of music with his wife Linda, and Plankhouse, a documentary film, was made about his work.
Gourmet teas by Teahugger will be provided along with light refreshments. The event will be held in the atrium of the Greensboro Cultural Arts Center, 200 N. Davie Street, Greensboro, NC. 27401, and is free and open to the public.
❧ ❧ ❧
"It's easier not to write than to write. Except if you are a writer. Then you have no choice."
- Elie Wiesel (Nobel Prize-winner)
The Writers' Group of the Triad is a not-for-profit organization of writers for writers. Our mission is to offer enriching opportunities which nurture writing development, provide community exposure, and ultimately assist in our members' writing success. The best substantive and continuous resource WGOT supplies to local writers are genre-specific monthly critique group meetings where members can improve their writing skills through peer review. Our group facilitators welcome all levels of writers into a supportive and creative atmosphere which fosters fellowship and constructive criticism, helping to hone and improve each member's work.
Our writing critique groups are organized by genre. In the 'Critique Groups' list above you can find a group in your favored genre or genres. Want to check out one or several of these groups? You may attend two critique group meetings in any genre at no charge. However, you must become a member of WGOT to have your work critiqued. If you are thinking about dropping in on a critique group meeting, please contact the facilitator first so she/he knows to look for you.
WGOT also puts on open mics, and sponsors workshops focusing on topics such as ekphrastic writing and publishing.
Who are our writers? The 'Our Writers' drop-down list above has thumbnail biographies of a small portion of our authors and writers of different genres including fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction, mystery, and children's stories.
Our critique groups have published several anthologies described on the 'Our Books' page. Should you wish to purchase a book or two, you will find ordering information included.
Who can join? WGOT membership is open to anyone local, national, or international who wants to improve their English writing skills. Although many of our members have been widely published, we welcome beginning writers! We can help the new writer find her/his "voice" and better understand the mysterious adventure called publishing.
Members can attend an unlimited number of critique groups and receive by email the monthly WGOT Newsletter, a treasure trove of current writing opportunities—those offered by WGOT and other writers/organizations. Workshops, readings, competitions and publication calls are featured in the Newsletter.
Annual dues are $30; Out-of-State/International $20; Students $15. To join WGOT, click here to access the 'Join/Renew' page and follow the directions.
Where do we meet? Most of our groups meet at our central location, the headquarters of the historic Sternberger Artists Center, 712 Summit Avenue, Greensboro, NC. There is free parking in the lot behind the building. The WGOT Writers' Center is in Studio 5; its entrance is on the far left (south side) of the building as you face the building from the rear free parking area.
Our advice to aspiring authors is to write, write, write and read, read, read the outstanding published writers in your genre! Share with other writers your work in progress by joining one of our critique groups where sharing is the order of the day. Writing is a lonely business. Enrich your life and your writing by connecting with other writers who can help you sharpen your craft. Join us for fellowship, exposure, and objective, knowledgeable advice from friendly wordsmiths!

Manama: Kuwait's 2009-2011 Parliament, reinstated this month by the constitutional court, will convene as soon as the new cabinet is formed, Jassem Al Khorafi, the former speaker, has said.

AFP PHOTO/YASSER AL-ZAYYAT
The court reinstated the parliament after it annulled the Emiri decrees to dissolve it and to call for fresh elections, ruling they were unconstitutional.
The ruling by the country's highest court that cannot be appealed is, however, being challenged by opposition lawmakers elected in February and their supporters.
Some of the 2009-2011 Parliament MPs said that they did not plan to re-take their seats and wanted to ease their way out of the increasingly bitter standoffs.
However, Al Khorafi who last year said that he would not seek re-election, said that he was fully committed to the constitutional court decision that calls for the new government to be sworn in before the 2009 Parliament ahead of all other procedures.
However, several 2009 lawmakers said that they were not keen on holding just one session for the swearing-in of the government.
"The majority of the 2009 parliament lawmakers do not plan to attend a session if it is going to be followed by dissolution," MP Adnan Abdul Samad said.
The four-year term normally ends in the 2013 summer.
Legal experts from all sides have been wrangling over the merit of last year's decrees, the constitutionality of the February elections and the jurisprudence of the constitutional court,
One source told local Arabic daily Al Qabas that "the mere call for holding a session is sufficient for the cabinet to file a letter calling for the promulgation of a decree to dissolve the parliament constitutionally."
Mohammad Al Feeli, a constitutional expert, said that the lack of a quorum that prevents the 2009 parliament from convening "provides a justification to the cabinet to file a no-cooperation motion". The move would be unprecedented in Kuwait's history, he said.
Shaikh Jaber Al Mubarak Al Sabah, the prime minister, has made it clear to the opposition that his future cabinet does not have plans to cooperate with the 2009 parliament, Kuwait Times reported on Thursday.
The pledge was made during a meeting with MPs Jamaan Al Harbash and Musallam Al Barrak before the cabinet's announcement of its resignation on Monday.
"The premier gave assurances that neither he nor any minister plans to attend a session of the 2009 parliament", sources told the daily.
The opposition, in return, has agreed not to hold marches during the demonstrations they have arranged in Iradah (Will Power) Square in Kuwait City.

Supernatural Season Premiere Sneak Peek
Around the Web
I can't wait for season 8 to begin, but the cable co that I subscribe to has cut the CW of. Tribune the owner of the CW I guess would like to charge more and our cable co. said NO. Which I can't blame them cause we pay a hefty price for cable and I don't wish to pay anymore. So I'll have to try and find season 8 each week on the internet, or wait for the reruns to come on TNT. Or get an atenna and pick it up for free like I did when I lived in the city.
We are so excited to start season 8 and just want to say to everyone involved that Supernatural is the greatest show on television. Thank you all for bringing the show to us and for doing what you do. We have enjoyed watching and continue to wish you the best of success in the coming year.

Last week, I shared with our Wednesday night group that I was returning to our First Peter sermon series on Sunday, and that we'd be looking in chapter three at Peter's instructions to wives.
The husbands perked up, chuckled and said, "All right!"
Then I said, "Wait a minute. Technically, it's Peter's instructions to wives with difficult husbands."
The wives liked that one and the husbands groaned as one lady commented, "That's every wife."
So husbands can be difficult, huh? What about wives? Read More»
Even though the sun blinded us if we sat on the wrong side of the line of tables scattered around the campfire, the conversations were low and lulling. Most of our group are (or were once, having moved) church friends, and many have air line or FAA or travel stories to recite in turn.
Conversations like these get spoken around a fire pit as the night-cooled breezes fill in the spaces between us and it's so tempting to close the eyes and doze for a moment. Read More»
Normally, I'm a happy kinda guy, and for good reason. Cool weather has chased the gray and black cat from the window sill back onto my lap. She takes up residence there during the winter when I write.
Our big black lab with the big black nose is acting like a puppy once again. Not bad for a puppy who's 88 in human years.
And after 13 years, The Wife, she still loves me. I know; it doesn't make much sense to me either, but she does. For this I'm eternally grateful. So what could possibly upset our perfect, happy little world? Read More»
As the pastor of a local church that is attempting to minister to people during difficult economic times, I fully understand that a church cannot give to every person in need. There's always a limited supply of money and there will always be an unlimited amount of need.
In our church, during these tough times, we try, as best we can on limited funds, to first assist those of our congregation who are hit by the economic crisis. Once in a while, we may be able to help some in the community. Unfortunately, we simply can't meet every need. Read More»
Remember these two principles of folks with a conservative or libertarian world-view? "That government is best which governs least." And "local government is the most representative because it is closest to the people it governs."

Listening to some establishment Republicans grousing about the field of GOP presidential candidates should serve as a warning. Republicans, if they are not careful, are in danger of catching the same virus that infected Democrats in 2008.
That would be a messiah complex, the belief that one man (or woman) can deliver us from our collective economic, social and foreign policy "sins" and bring redemption to a nation from the consequences of too many wrong-headed choices. Read More»
It's election time, and I am reminded of the first time I was old enough to vote.
In Ohio, you had to be 21 years of age to vote. The year was 1952 and it was a national election. I voted for the first time by voting for Dwight D. Eisenhower.
I have made every effort to vote in each election since, whether national or local. The only Fayette County elections I have not bothered with were when the mayor and council in Fayetteville would be running unopposed. Read More»
Congressional Democrats and President Obama have spent the last two and a half years trying to reward illegal immigrants for breaking the law by coming to the United States.

Full text not available from this repository.
The potential of an approach combining nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, and quantum mechanical (QM) calculations for full structural characterizations in solution is assessed using cyclic organic compounds, namely, benzazocinone derivatives 1-3 with fused five- and eight-membered aliphatic rings, camphoric anhydride 4, and bullvalene 5. Various MD simulations were considered, using force field and semiempirical QM treatments, implicit and explicit solvation, and high-temperature MD calculations for selecting plausible molecular geometries for subsequent QM geometry optimizations using mainly B3LYP, M062X, and MP2 methods. The QM-predicted values of NMR parameters were compared to their experimental values for verification of the final structures derived from the MD/QM analysis. From these comparisons, initial estimates of quality thresholds (calculated as rms deviations) were 0.7-0.9 Hz for (3)J(HH) couplings, 0.07-0.11 Å for interproton distances, 0.05-0.08 ppm for (1)H chemical shifts, and 1.0-2.1 ppm for (13)C chemical shifts. The obtained results suggest that the accuracy of the MD analysis in predicting geometries and relative conformational energies is not critical and that the final geometry refinements of the structures selected from the MD simulations using QM methods are sufficient for correcting for the expected inaccuracy of the MD analysis. A unique example of C(sp(3))-H···N(sp(3)) intramolecular noncovalent interaction is also identified using the NMR/MD/QM and the natural bond orbital analyses. As the NMR/MD/QM approach relies on the final QM geometry optimization, comparisons of geometric characteristics predicted by different QM methods and those from X-ray and neutron diffraction measurements were undertaken using rigid and flexible cyclic systems. The joint analysis shows that intermolecular noncovalent interactions present in the solid state alter molecular geometries significantly compared to the geometries of isolated molecules from QM calculations.

Nutrisource Highly Nurturing Rich Cream is a very emollient moisturizer for dry to very dry skin. It's not much for antioxidants, but even if it were chock-full, the jar packaging would undermine them.

Biotherm At-A-Glance
Strengths: Sunscreens now include the right UVA-protecting ingredients; some good cleansers and makeup removers.
Weaknesses: Redundancy, especially within the moisturizer category where there are far too many products whose differences are more tied to name and claims than formula; overuse of alcohol in the moisturizers (the drying kind, not benign fatty alcohols such as cetyl or stearyl); jar packaging; bland toners; ineffective AHA/BHA, and skin-lightening products; overly fragrant products make this brand a poor choice for those with rosacea or sensitive skin.
Biotherm is one of the many companies owned by L'Oreal USA, and has a vast array of products, with many redundancies. It was founded in 1952 by a French biologist who discovered, as the story goes, a mineral-rich element in mountain spring water. Flash-forward to a slick lab where white-coated scientists supposedly figured out a way to capture this element (called vitreoscilla ferment) in its active form, and that's essentially the story behind Biotherm, now sold in 70 countries. The company announced in 2007 that Biotherm would not be sold in any U.S. or Canadian department stores anymore yet would be sold online. But as of 2009, it seems the company changed plans, at least in terms of its Canadian distribution. The brand is sold in most Canadian department stores as well as Shoppers Drug Mart.
Biotherm's claims are wrapped around the effect their special ingredient (vitreoscilla ferment) has on skin, and how it helps skin reactivate its own natural biological processes. We weren't even partway through reviewing these products before noticing the products are far from unique or specially formulated. A major reason for that is the inclusion of problematic ingredients in many products, notably alcohol, lots of fragrance, and menthol derivatives.
But is there anything to Biotherm's fervent belief in and pervasive use of vitreoscilla ferment? This gram-negative bacteria can help cells utilize oxygen better in vitro (Source: Journal of Biotechnology, January 2001, pages 57–66). But whether that effect can be translated to benefit skin cells via a cosmetic formulation is unknown, and there are no studies supporting the use of this ingredient for skin care. Therefore, you're left to take Biotherm's word for it, even though they don't bother to explain why they avoided so many well-researched antioxidants, or use minuscule amounts of intriguing ingredients that in greater amounts can positively affect skin's structure and healthy functioning. Plus you have to wonder, if this is such a great ingredient for skin, why don't the other L'Oreal companies such as Lancome, Kiehl's, La Roche-Posay, or even L'Oreal use it?
Biotherm is also big on minerals, specifically the gluconate forms of magnesium, copper, and zinc. All of these have some research indicating their merit for skin, but mostly in terms of wound healing or being mildly antibacterial. That's not the way they're showcased in Biotherm's products, of course, because anti-wrinkle and anti-aging claims are what sell products. Although they link minerals with anti-aging prowess, a wrinkle is not a wound. Moreover, the tiny amounts of these minerals found throughout the Biotherm lineup only nullifies their already limited effectiveness as part of a comprehensive skin-care routine. There are some gems to be found in this line, but proceed with caution because most of it is downright boring or just plain bad for your skin.
Note: Biotherm is categorized as a brand that tests on animals because its products are sold in China. Although Biotherm does not conduct animal testing for their products sold elsewhere, the Chinese government requires imported cosmetics be tested on animals, so foreign companies retailing there must comply. This requirement is why some brands state that they don't test on animals "unless required by law." Animal rights organizations consider cosmetic companies retailed in China to be brands that test on animals, and so does the Paula's Choice Research Team.
