A few weeks ago, I wrote a theoretical proposition on the subject of platonic dating. For the most part, this proposal was well-received, however there were a few dissenting (or at least, confused) voices that made themselves known. And so, before moving onto some practical solutions to the platonic dating conundrum, I should like to clarify a few points.
To start, it is important to emphasize that the key word in my conception of platonic dating is dating – that is to say, the act of going out with someone for the explicit purpose of getting to know them better. It must not be confused with platonic friendship, for the word friendship describes a pre-existing state, a state of being: we are friends.
In contrast, dating can be understood as a process of becoming. My desire or goal on a platonic date is to become friends with someone of the opposite sex, to develop an intimacy or closeness with this person, to become allies or confidantes, to dig beneath the surface. For the sake of clarity, and because I have an easy rapport with many of them, I refer to many of my friends' husbands and partners as friends. But are we really friends? We are friendly, to be sure. But have these relationships really evolved beyond a state of fond acquaintanceship?
Thus the need for one-on-one platonic dating… a time to test the waters, to build a foundation, and create a space where bonding of a more meaningful and intimate nature can begin. But this, as I mentioned before, can be awkward – just think about how awful a non-platonic date can be, sitting across the table from someone you don't know very well and trying to think of something to say. Now, it is entirely likely that what I am actually doing here is exposing my own social phobias about awkward dates, and yet surely, I cannot be alone on this. My solution? To base the platonic date, at least initially, on a specific fixed-duration task or activity that requires your focused attention, but still allows for an easy flow of conversation.
Sociologists differentiate between the manifest (or intentional) and latent (unintentional) functions of activities and endeavors. We go to school to learn, and to get an education, but school is also where we make friends, develop a sense of self, clarify our values, and acquire appropriate behaviours. Here, the manifest function may be to see an art show, teach someone how to knit, or get the garden weeded, while the latent functions are many: companionship, a sense of shared accomplishment, developing a sense of someone's strengths and weaknesses, their talents and insecurities, and creating a bond.
I had what I would define as my first conscious platonic date a few weeks ago, and though many of these latent functions were achieved, our manifest function was to teach me how to bake bread.
As the socially-maladjusted person that I seem to be, I must confess to being a bit nervous about this one-on-one encounter, especially since it was going to take us about six hours to complete the task, three of which would be spent waiting for the dough to rise. Now, I cannot speak for the other participant, but I suspect that he was feeling some of my apprehension, as he called me in advance to confirm some possible viewing options to fill those emptier hours. Though it is only in retrospect that I can see this clearly, I did cram for the date by preparing a mental list of common interests: crime fiction and British comedy, WFMU and its various hosts, cooking and the men who write about it: Bittman, Steingarten, Pollan, et al. And armed with my sponge (see below), my knitting – in case some private time was deemed necessary – and my barrage of possible conversation topics, I set out for our adventure.
The aforementioned sponge – a mixture of yeast, flour and something sweet that you beat together and let sit for an hour or so – is really the key to this incredible bread, which is based on the techniques and philosophies laid out in the The Tassajara Bread Book (1971). Like many hippie cookbooks from that era, the Tassajara philosophy, with its focus on whole grains and sustainable living rings true today. Produced in collaboration with the Zen Centre from which it takes its name, it is also a very nurturing tome, encouraging the reader (and baker) to "make deepest love all the time, concentrating not on the food, but on yourself: making your best effort to allow things to fulfill their functions." Now, you might find this a little too touchy-feely for your tastes, but I gotta tell you, there is something lovely about a cookbook that gives you the freedom to be yourself, and know that there are no mistakes. And if you can have somebody help you the first time around so you don't question yourself so much, you start to understand why some people find baking bread to be a meditative experience.
As I stated above, you start with the sponge because it allows the yeast to start growing and means less kneading later on. We went with 4 cups of water – 1 boiling and 3 from the tap so that the resulting water was lukewarm. Then I added one packet of yeast and 1/2 cup of molasses. You stir it up and make sure that it is doing something… bubbling or breaking down or foaming. After a few minutes, you whisk it up and start adding the flour. I added 5 cups of white flour and 1 of whole wheat, knowing that for this first time around, white flour makes for a lighter bread. You end up with a mud-like consistency that you whip for about two minutes (or as the book says, about 100 times) and then cover with saran wrap.
After about 60-90 minutes, you start to fold in the other ingredients. Here, the most important thing is to not break the strings that have formed. Instead, you fold in the ingredients, turning the bowl about 90 degrees on each turn, always moving in the same direction. First, we added a big pinch of salt and covered the top of the bowl with a big glug of olive oil – a little more than you might think was appropriate. Then we started to add the flour: some more white, some whole wheat, some spelt, and some whole oats for texture. And for the next chunk of time, until the dough started to naturally form a ball and pull away from the sides of the bowl, we turned and folded, turned and folded. I think we added about 5-6 more cups of flour, but I like the idea that we were not counting. We just watched the dough and waited for it to look like it was ready to stand on its own.
Once you get to this stage, you can turn the dough onto a floured surface and begin to knead it, picking up the back of the dough, pulling it toward you and folding it down, and then pushing it back. Turn it on a 45 degree angle and repeat. Turn and repeat. Or as the book says: turn, fold, push. You want to get a rhythm going so that your movements become zen.
The whole time you are doing this, you are incorporating both the crumbs from the board and your hands, and as much flour as you need, because you want it to stop being sticky. When you are done, and it is smooth and elastic in tone, place it into a well-oiled bowl and then turn it over so that the seam of the ball is down. Cover it with saran wrap and make yourself some lunch.
After it has been rising for about an hour, and looks about twice as big as it was, punch it down to get all the air out of it. You don't want to literally punch it. Instead, firmly push your fist repeatedly into its surface so that all the air comes out. Then cover it again, and let is sit for about another hour.
When you are ready to finally bake the bread, preheat the oven to about 350 degrees. A handy tip that I learned on my date is to put an empty cast iron frying pan into the oven. Because it holds the heat so well, you can open the door without so much of the heat escaping.
Take your dough and cut it into three pieces. Then, one at a time, engage in a process of kneading and turning so that each piece becomes a nice round ball. Do them one at a time, and then leave them while you move onto the next one. When all three are done, form them into logs and place them with the seam side down on an oiled cookie sheet. Let them rise about 20 more minutes while the oven is heating up.
When they are just about to go into the oven, cut a deep slit into each one so that steam can get out and brush the whole thing with quite a bit of water. Bake for about 50-70 minutes. You will know when they are done if they are nice and brown looking and if they sound hollow when you tap their bottoms. To add to the cooking magic, you can add some water to that heated cast iron pan you've got in there, but be careful when you do it, as you don't want to burn yourself or spill water on the electrical elements.
Another handy trick I learned is that you must resist eating the bread before it is ready. If you can possibly control yourself, do not cut it for AT LEAST an hour, if not longer. Store in a plastic bag or freeze for future use. It thaws easily and makes a lovely toast.
Once again, though I cannot speak for my co-participant, I would have to declare the date a success – and not just because I came home with three loaves of amazing bread. In truth, what one can sometimes discover on a platonic date is that there actually is more in place than just a friendly acquaintanceship, and that all the friendship needs to flourish is a little nurturing.

We have had so much rain ..and that causes delays too…but yesterday I had five minutes of sitting on the back verandah
with the dog; The wind and rain were wild. It was the first time in ages that I felt like I didnt have to go anywhere, do anything,
or rush about. It was so lovely, and so easy to be there…in the middle of a torrential storm, yet peaceful.
Early this morning- the water, the shining steel, the glass and coffee cups rinsing in the sink spoke of the beauty in the simple.

Today I've been listening to new music by two young musicians from the Southern Hoghlands of N.S.W.
Thomas Zachary is a great cellist and ambient music composer. He's been working on several new music-scapes including
'Threnody for Robin Williams'. Highly evocative recordings that feature Thomas overdubbing himself as he plays a range of instruments including:

Comedy club uses heat from the kitchen to produce hot water
Posted by Tasha Kosviner on 31 March 2014 at 8:24 am
Anyone who has ever worked in a commercial kitchen knows how temperatures can soar.
Throwing open the windows and sticking on the fans is the obvious solution. But now an innovative new technology has been developed which harnesses the heat kicked out by stoves and fridges to heat water.
Ideal for restaurants and bars, the Stiebel Eltron WWK300AH hot water heat pump uses a fan to draw in ambient hot air, using it to heat water inside the tank.
It's a solution that's no laughing matter at an east London comedy club where it's not just the performers who are full of hot air. The Backyard Bar and Comedy Club, owned by comedian Lee Hurst, had the technology installed in their high temperature kitchens, during a recent rebuild project.
"When we were fitting-out the club it was essential to have something like this to meet building regulations," says Dan Dearlove, the club's general manager. "But when we realised that the heat pump would take all the natural heat from the kitchen to generate our hot water, it was a no-brainer.
"The pump is very quiet, looks smart, doesn't take up a lot of room and we get high temperature hot water when we need it."
The pump provides up to 300 litres of hot water, at a temperature of 55 degC, for the sinks in nine men's and women's toilets as well as fulfilling the hot water requirements in the kitchen. On the rare occassions the hot water runs out - which happens very occasionally when the club is at capacity - an electric booster kicks in.
Exhaust air heat pumps are not eligible for money under the renewable heat initiative.
The pump also has the added benefit of cooling the kitchen.
Richard Myers, Stiebel Eltron UK's South East specification manager, said: "The WWK300AH offers a huge amount of potential for hospitality and leisure businesses to significantly reduce their fuel bills while being environmentally friendly. The heat pump maximises energy efficiency, taking the ambient air which would otherwise go to waste and converting this to heat the water in the cylinder.
"The unit is one of the most efficient heat pumps on the market, giving up to 80 per cent on energy savings compared to an electric storage water heater."

Throughout film and television history, there has been much in the way of "Violence as entertainment." Many action and horror movies actually add "computer generated imagery (CGI)" because they feel there isn't enough blood in their picture already.
From the 1970's to the present, the (often-considered) "taboo" element of violence against women is introduced to the viewing public through the medium of film and television. While some of these titles (listed below) may glorify violence, or even promote revenge, there is (in many self-defense professional's opinions) merit in viewing these frightening scenes. If you choose to view any of the titles below, we ask that you view them constructively.
Consider what the character may have done inadequately, ineffectively or not-at-all and (if the scene warrants) what they did effectively. Ask yourself what you would have done in the same or similar situation. We know that "Situation dictates response," but there is benefit in knowing the "face" of violence, the ploys of the assailant, the options available and in exploring (at least in a small way) the fears and emotions associated with the victim.

Girls' volleyball takes tough loss on senior night
October 17, 2017
At the last home game of the season on Thursday Oct. 12, girls' volleyball put up a fight against the highly ranked La Reina Regents, but lost 0-3 in the end. The evening began with Senior night festivities, honoring seniors Heather Ellison, Morgan Gallagher, Taryn Savard, Techelle Pagan and Faith Mackie '18 for their hard work and dedication that they put into the program since its inaugural year.
Mackie felt that the team had a strong mentality because they "went out there thinking, 'we're probably not gonna win, but we're going to play to the best of our abilities and play for our seniors.'"
The Dragons started the game off strong with a big block from Gallagher and a couple of kills from Lexi Malone '19. La Reina countered with kills from their hitters and after a kill from Pearl Esparza '19, the Regents held a 6-8 lead over the Dragons. The set went back and forth between the two teams with nice passes from Mackie, sets from Savard and kills from Malone and Gallagher.
Foothill had cut the lead to 14-15 when La Reina went on a 10-5 run to close out the set 19-25. Esparza thought the team "bounced back well" and continued to play their style of play, despite being matched up against such a strong program.
The Regents came out swinging in the second set, putting the Dragons in a 0-4 hole. Haley Higgins '19 tallied the Dragons' first point of the set, but La Reina kept on coming, stretching their lead over Foothill to 4-16. The girls kept digging passes and hitting hard, fighting to try and get back into the set. Mackie and Esparza made some diving passes and Savard set up Ellison and Malone a couple of times, but they still lost the second set 13-25.
The third set started much the same way as the second, with La Reina's hitters relentlessly pounding hits at the Dragons' defense. After getting down 3-10, the Dragons mounted a run, with kills from Higgins and Malone, keeping the gap relatively small between them and the Regents. At 14-19, La Reina pulled away and won the set 16-25.
Despite the loss, the Dragons still have two league games to play next week and hopefully the chance to play in California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) playoffs. Last night's game won't be the last game for the seniors, but Esparza was still so proud of the way that they "built this program."
Coach Kris Gullatt thinks that his team has "set a tone where I think that we're just on the verge of the program we have the potential to be."
Most of the seniors on the team were freshmen on Varsity during the team's first season, and Gullatt says that the girls really pushed through "a lot of adversity" and that they "took their licks for two years, but now they're strong and have set a precedent for the levels below them."
With a smile (and some watery eyes), Esparza said, "they're my teammates and my best friends and I'm really going to miss them."

Sometimes, you just have an off day.
It's usually explainable: "This is what's bothering me, and it's why I'm reacting this way." Sometimes, it's not, and you have to spend some time trying to figure out what's causing you to feel so out of sorts. I usually have to dig around in my own brain to figure out my issues. Today, however, was relatively cut and dry.
My father would have been 50 years old today. It's been ten years since he died, so his birthday stopped being painful a few years ago — instead, it was a day to remember him for who he was, instead of what he was missing. Unfortunately, this particular birthday hit me harder than I expected, so I spent most of the day treading water just to keep afloat.
Then, I went to the barn after work. It's finally light enough out in the afternoon that I can get away with doing this.
I hugged my horse. I kissed his nose. I rebraided his tail. I stood with him while he ate his supper.
Perfect end to a not so perfect day.
|His favorite time of day 😉

Going back to last year with the first generation myTouch, to the myTouch Slide, and now to the new myTouch 4G. A leaked internal email obtained by TmoNews clearly shows that the new myTouch device will be launched on 11/3.
There has been tons of debate on what T-Mobile will be calling the newest myTouch handset. Originally thought to be the myTouch HD, although some tests units have been reported as saying "myTouch 4G" on the bootscreen. But T-mobile has been referring to it as the "new myTouch". Either way whatever they decide to call it, T-Mobile has a busy day planned for November 3rd.
Along with this new myTouch, T-Mobile has the release of the LG Optimus T and the Motorola DEFY, both of which are entry-level Android phones, on that day also. Not only that but T-Mobile's revamped data plan goes into effect on November 3rd. Busy day!

Onboard Highlights
On board this luxury cruise ship a divine selection of Italy's best cuisine is served à la carte in La Terrazza. Authentic recipes and the freshest ingredients come together with flair and passion aboard this luxury cruise — a flavourful expression of Silversea's distinctive Italian heritage that embraces the principals of Slow Food — fresh, sustainable and locally grown.
Slow Food is an eco-gastronomic concept that began at a grass roots level in reaction to "Fast Food" and is dedicated to proper land stewardship while preserving cultural food traditions. For example, La Terrazza uses buffalo mozzarella from Naples, organic balsamic vinegar and olive oil from Umbria, and air-dried ham out of Parma. The Emilia-Romagna region also produces Silversea's 24-month aged Parmigiano Reggiano, while the pasta is made daily right on board.
La Terrazza is open for casual, buffet-style breakfast and lunch with indoor or al fresco dining on the outdoor terrace. During the evening, La Terrazza transforms into an à la carte traditional Italian restaurant.
Exceptional shopping experiences do not end in the cosmopolitan cities we visit.
Silversea's striking new boutiques aboard the cruise, reimagined and redesigned by famed Italian architect Tiziano Vudafieri and his team at Vudafieri & Saverino Studio, are stunning modern design spaces befitting the finest creations from legendary designers including Buccellati, Damiani, Le Vian, Tag Heuer, Bulgari, Gucci, Paul & Shark, Sisley, Swarovski and more.
A new partnership with the LVMH Group company Starboard offers in our boutiques a carefully curated selection of cutting edge fashions, jewelry, accessories, fine perfumes and cosmetics from iconic brands renowned for blending tradition, innovation and exceptional quality.
The Panorama Lounge is specially designed by Silversea to provide an uninterrupted view of the day's destination from the comfort of the luxury cruise ship's interior. This is an ideal place to unwind, enjoy afternoon tea, listen to the pianist and watch the setting sun while you cruise. The drinks are complimentary, the music live and inviting.

Human relationships easily become possessive. Our hearts so much desire to be loved that we are inclined to cling to the person who offers us love, affection, friendship, care, or support. Once we have seen or felt a hint of love, we want more of it. That explains why lovers so often bicker with each other. Lovers' quarrels are quarrels between people who want more of each other than they are able or willing to give.
It is very hard for love not to become possessive because our hearts look for perfect love and no human being is capable of that. Only God can offer perfect love. Therefore, the art of loving includes the art of giving one another space. When we invade one another's space and do not allow the other to be his or her own free person, we cause great suffering in our relationships. But when we give another space to move and share our gifts, true intimacy becomes possible.

Do you happen to enjoy a bit of busking on the weekend. Are you a one man band? Are you tad lazy and in need of a simple audio reproduction solution? If this sounds like you, and you have a spare thousand bones, Bose is here to help. The L1 Compact Portable Line Array System – hellof a name, eh? – uses Bose technology to fill the room with your audio goodness with only one speaker. How you ask? Who knows, it's Bose magic.
Actually, the system utilizes a 14-inch line array and Bose ToneMatch signal processing for the audio. The company claims that this single setup will reduce the need for two speakers for accurate audio reproduction. This benefit will obviously reduce the need of multiple trips to the van before the performance. Plus, as we all know, musicians tend to be a rather lazy group so many might be willing to pony up the $999 in May for the convenience.
For Immediate Release
The Most Portable, Easy to Set Up and Affordable L1 System
Today, Bose has introduced the new L1® Compact portable line array
system, the latest — and most portable — addition to the Bose® L1®
product line. Using advanced Bose technologies, an L1 Compact system
fills the room with only one speaker, and can be carried in a single
trip and set up in less than one minute.
The new L1 Compact system features an integrated low-frequency enclosure
and combines the amplifier, monitor, PA, mixer and EQ into a complete
audio system ready for simple connection to an instrument, microphone,
MP3 player, computer or other audio device. Like the Bose L1® Model I
and L1® Model II systems, the L1 Compact system continues the legacy of
the original Bose Cylindrical Radiator® loudspeaker — the product to
first introduce the company's unique approach to live music
amplification. The new L1 Compact system was engineered to bring much
of the performance benefits of these systems to a broader audience of
musicians, DJs, and other performers and presenters.

Bose Technologies Make the Difference
The L1 Compact system features a 14-inch line array and offers two
distinct setup configurations: extended (68″ tall) for larger venues or
collapsed (17″ tall) for smaller venues, where it can be placed on a
table or other elevated surface. There are no heavy tripod stands or
complicated speaker wires to connect — just a single AC power cord.
The system is convenient, yet powerful. Live music and speech, or
pre-recorded music benefits from Bose Spatial Dispersion™ loudspeaker
technology, which enables wide, uniform sound coverage across the stage
and throughout the audience — even off to the extreme sides.
Bose ToneMatch® signal processing is built in and optimizes the sound of
an instrument or microphone with an L1® system while reducing the need to
make complicated tonal adjustments. The L1 Compact system features two
ToneMatch circuits: channel one is designed for a dynamic handheld
microphone, and channel two includes a ToneMatch preset designed for an
acoustic guitar. Other instruments and audio devices also can be used
simultaneously via channel two, through a line-level audio output.
The L1 Compact system is fully compatible with the Bose T1 ToneMatch®
audio engine. Available separately, the T1 ToneMatch audio engine
provides musicians, DJs and presenters with an extensive library of
ToneMatch presets, custom EQ capability with proprietary Bose zEQ, and a
suite of studio-class effects and processing.
Professional Sound for Anyone
The benefits and simplicity of the L1 Compact system make it versatile
and accessible to anyone who needs a high-quality, portable sound system
at parties, community and athletic events or business presentations.
New Bose® L1® Compact Portable Line Array System
Page 3
Along with the XLR microphone and 1/4-inch instrument inputs, the L1
Compact system offers two inputs. The 1/8-inch stereo input allows for
connection to MP3 players, computers, satellite radios or any device
with a line-level audio output. The RCA stereo input accommodates
DVD/CD players, VCRs and DJ mixers.
The L1 Compact portable line array system is available from Bose for
$999 beginning May 1, 2009. The L1® Model I system sells for $1699; the
L1® Model II system is available for $2499. The complete line of L1®
portable line array products is available direct from Bose and through
Guitar Center® retail stores, Musician's Friend online and select
independent retailers nationwide. For more information about Bose
products for musicians, visit www.Bose.com/musicians or call toll-free

{100}{}{You see Doc Morbid.}
{101}{}{I'm Doc Morbid, can I help you?}
{102}{}{Yeah, I need some help.}
{103}{}{I need some medical assistance.}
{104}{}{No, not today.}
{107}{}{Well, ok, then. Do come back.}
{108}{}{Well, if not today, then perhaps sometime in the near future.}
{109}{}{Hopefully not. Bye.}
{110}{}{We'll just have to see, now won't we. But I doubt it.}
{111}{}{Hmm, lets have a look.}
{112}{}{You seem to be in nearly perfect health. That will be $10 for the examination.}
{113}{}{Ten caps for you to tell me that? You gotta be kidding.}
{114}{}{Here you go. Take your money.}
{115}{}{I never joke. Especially when it comes to physical trauma. You will pay or I'll have to resort to other forms of compensation, many of which are much more painful then just paying my fee.}
{116}{}{Ok, here's your money.}
{117}{}{Bite me. I'm leaving.}
{118}{}{Have it your way. Cougar, Flash. Show our 'patient' to the lab.}
{119}{}{Thank you for your business. Come again.}
{120}{}{You do not have enough money. I have a very special way of dealing with debtors - I don't. Flash and Cougar,
take our new found source of income to the lab for processing.}
{121}{}{Ok, I have your test results:}
{122}{}{You are }
{123}{}{The total cost will be $}
{124}{}{. Payment is due before treatment. No exceptions. Will you pay?}
{125}{}{Yes, I will pay.}
{126}{}{No, I don't have the money. Will you float me?}
{130}{}{No. I don't loan anyone, and I mean anyone, any amount of money. Go away, you pauper.}
{131}{}{It's your life. Good-Bye.}
{132}{}{Excellent. Let's begin. This might hurt a little . . .}
{133}{}{There you go. Come back again!}
{134}{}{Oh, back so soon. What can I help you with?}
{135}{}{I need healing.}
{136}{}{Nothing, just making small talk.}
{138}{}{Please make it somewhere else, I'm busy.}
{139}{}{Hmmm. I don't like your looks, stranger. But what can I do for you? I never, ever turn away a paying customer.}
{140}{}{I need some help.}
{141}{}{I need some medical assistance.}
{142}{}{Nothing today, thanks.}
{144}{}{Oh, It's you again. I like your style, even if I don't like you. What can I help you with, now?}
{145}{}{I need healing.}
{146}{}{Nothing, just making small talk.}
{148}{}{Oh, It's a customer! What can I help you with?}
{149}{}{I need healing.}
{150}{}{Nothing, just making small talk.}
{151}{}{You seem exited to see me. Why?}
{153}{}{My business has dropped off recently. I'm happy to see any customers, these days. Not that I mind your company, of course.}
{154}{}{Excellent, I need some healing.}
{155}{}{Why has your business dropped off?}
{156}{}{Of course, I understand. Have a good day.}
{157}{}{Well, if you do need anything, please stop by. No one can beat my service!}
{158}{}{In case you haven't noticed, I got some competition.}
{159}{}{ Complaining to Killian won't do anything. He doesn't see anything wrong with the newcomers.}
{160}{}{ Those damn Children have moved in next door, and all, um, much of my business has gone to them. I don't like it, but I can't lower my prices to match theirs. I can only provide better service.}
{161}{}{Ahh, I do need some healing.}
{162}{}{Hmm, better prices, interesting. Thank you.}
{163}{}{Ahh, a repeat customer. Excellent these days! How can I help you?}
{164}{}{I need healing.}
{165}{}{Nothing, just making small talk.}
{167}{}{I hope you have a good reason for disturbing me. My time is extremely valuable.}
{168}{}{I'm dying here! Please help!}
{169}{}{I'm sorry for disturbing you, but I need assistance.}
{171}{}{I don't find your humor funny. Please leave so I can return to my work.}
{172}{}{Hmm. Well, you seem fine to me. Perhaps you need some rest. Try the Crash House, around the corner. Good night.}
{173}{}{I'm sorry, I don't treat idiots at this time of night. Something about full moons and lunacy, I suppose. Have a good night.}
{174}{}{You again. I hope you have another good reason for disturbing me . . .}
{175}{}{I'm dying here! Please help!}

{211}{}{Why should I?}

{214}{}{No! I won't let you shut down my operation! Gretch, get }
{216}{}{I know what you are doing here, and I won't stop you.}
{217}{}{You are obviously far more powerful than I am.}
{218}{}{That is true. Unfortunately, you have seen too much. Hmm.}
{219}{}{ You will have to be dealt with. Sorry.}
{220}{}{ You must prove your sincerity. And I might be able to make a little profit out of this deal.}
{221}{}{What do you mean?}
{222}{}{No deals, no way.}
{223}{}{Fine. Have it your way!}
{224}{}{I will take something from you. And then we will be even.}
{226}{}{No way.}
{228}{}{Doc Morbid reaches up with a surgical tool, and, before you can react, removes one of your eyes. It is extremely painful.}
{229}{}{Now, half of what you have just seen is mine again.}
{231}{}{Now, now. Watch your language.}
{232}{}{The doctor is out.}
{233}{}{I know about you and Iguana Bob, you filthy butcher.}
{234}{}{Wh . . . what could you possibly mean?}
{235}{}{I had a little conversation with your troll . . .}
{236}{}{[He looks shiftily from side to side] That proves nothing. Gretch is a little . . . slow in the head. No one listens to him around here. You had best leave.}

Talk:George Bush
This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the George Bush article.
So True...
Hey, who took down the elaborate bio we had for George Bush?
Pure Genius.
Somebody blanked this page while I was editing it - I restored the last version. To an Admin - HELP! --Jester 00:20, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
this is messed up[edit]
whats wrong with the president's father? As he was here first he gets the title George Bush not his son (who the article is about mostly)
Why the Edit ban???[edit]
"see above" --22.214.171.124 13:04, 22 May 2006 (sig added by Jester)
- There's no edit ban - you have to be a registered user. That's what happens when unregistered users are stupid and not funny. --Jester 05:05, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
- Erm...then why can't I edit it? Blah Blah Blah 05:44, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, cant edit...Xombie 18:41, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
I can not edit either--LorenaBobbitFan 00:23, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
another 'bushism' - 'i've spoken to the dead families'. actual quote!
EDIT, PLZ[edit]
Uhhh.....YEAH. I'm a registered user. I can't edit. Would I be able to edit, I would either remove the "Jesus freak" term because it's clearly being used in a negative light. I don't see the term nigger being thrown around, do you? How is Jesus freak not as immature an innapropriate word to use? Swearing in these articles is allowed, but senseless bias and hatred isn't even funny. But whoever wrote the article probably thought that the Christians were too busy in church or some nonsense to ever go to a website like this.
On the contrary---this site is fucking hilarious. I am a Christian, by the way. The term "Jesus freak" is offensive. I am not a freak, unless laughing at an idiotic website like this makes you one.
- I'm getting conflicting vibes from you. Anyway, I'd like to point out that this page is only semiprotected. Wait three days, and you should be able to edit. —Sir Major Hinoa [TALK] [KUN] [18:29, 6 January 2007 (UTC)]
Why Can't I Edit?[edit]
I am a registered user and I still can't edit. Is the edit ban also for new users? Thank You--ASDFGHJKL 22:24, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- Unprotected. - Sir Sikon [formerly known as Guest] 07:01, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
This article is a little biased.[edit]
Try cleaning up the bias a little huh. I guess the word, "Fair and Ballanced," isn't in your vocabulary here. --184.108.40.206 17:15, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
- Your guess would be correct. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 17:18, 7 Feb 2007
- Damn right! This is Uncyclopedia, not Wikipedia... http://images.wikia.com/uncyclopedia/images/a/a9/Aww.PNG -Kjhf!- (feeling chatty?) 17:19, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Different people[edit]
This sentence is the only time I'll mention the irony of writing an entire Uncyclopedia entry describing the WRONG PERSON as an idiot.
Anyway, there are already two articles about the current President. This one is meant to be about his father, but it currently is not. Please keep that in mind for future edits, people.
Hate Bush?[edit]
Check out the The Get Bush In Jail Link. --Sir Manforman 15:13, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
and, um...

Looks like Navegas doesn't work anymore..
Sorry to say that addictive tips articles seem to be come a joke! Last year the same happened with the best linux apps (actually it was the best ubuntu apps), and now its chrome centric! Simply pathetic.
m sorry to say but these are not the best extensions, but more like randomly picked extensions. I installed quite a few of them and most of them are less than 2 or 3 stars. Reviews are pathetic and many of them don't even work anymore, like the sound cloud download extension. also, LockmyFavs and secure bookmarks are the same thing. LockmyFav does not exist anymore and secure bookmarks is a really poor extension as you can read in its review page. I have no idea why are these tagged here as best bookmarks? just giving a few examples. rest are also the same.
If you just post content on your website for the sake of it, i am sorry again, but you will have one less fan.

Target Telugu Movie Review
The Film
Target is a direct and blatant copy of Sharon Stones hit Hollywood film "Basic Instinct", but then what a poor and tasteless copy of an English cult film!
The Synopsis
Mandakini (Mumaith Khan) is a well-known author of popular thriller novels and murder mysteries. The police suspect her with actual crime when a boxer mysteriously dies. An ACP trying to investigate the murder meets with an accident. An intelligent police officer Bose (Siva Balaji) takes up the case and finds out that some crimes are being committed as per the pattern described in one of Mandakini's novels.
The rest of the story deals with whodunit of the murder mystery.
The Performances
Mumaith Khan looks more lackluster than before and her vain attempts to look sexy give the opposite reaction. This one roles has given her some opportunity to showcase her acting talents.Siva Balaji does one of those million police officer roles that we see in Tollywood. Shraddha Das tries to look glam and has nothing much to do.
All other actors just go through their motions.
The Techniques
When you want to copy a popular English film, you should learn a few lessons from JD Chakravarthy who made "Homam" by copying the Hollywood Martin Sorceres film :The Departed"
By trying to Indianise the English story, the entire narration of "Target" has become insipid and boring. You cannot tell a murder mystery story with mainstream song-and-dance interruptions.
With hazy screenplay, all other technical aspects of the film beg to be ignored.
Director Ramesh Raja should first learn how to copy a good film without spoiling the essence of that film or its narration.
The Verdict
This is an ugly copy of a great Hollywood film and your target should be to miss Mumaith's "Target"
The Cast and Crew
Mumaith Khan, Siva Balaji, Shradhdha Das, Krishna Bhagawan, Viswajit Pradhan, Vizag Prasad, Vijaya Ranga Raju etc
Music: Koti
Camera: Suresh Kumar
Producers: Dasarth Sangisetty and B Rama Krishna
Banner: Sirisai Surya Movies
Director: Ramesh Raja
The Rating
0.5 out of 5

Introduction: Multi Screwdriver / Ninja Death Star
When I go up on the roof to fix the AC I usually forget a tool
multi screwdriver
wood or metal 1" x 1" x 1"
super glue or TIG
tool bits (harbor freight $2.97 for 6)
Step 1:
cut wood to desired size ~ 1" x 1"
I used wood because I haven't taken the TIG class yet, but you can do these same steps with metal (use abrasive saw or horizontal band saw instead of a miter saw)
Step 2:
Sand wood remove splinters created by cutting (for metal use a file).
Step 3:
measure size of each tool to determine appropriate bit size (tool shank size may vary).
Step 4:
drill holes in cube to fit tool shanks
Step 5:
super glue tools in holes or TIG tools if using a metal cube
I made it at TechShop

Rammed earth campaign: Waldorf School goes green
My school's greener than your school!
Is not!
Is so!
If local supporters have their way, students at the Charlottesville Waldorf School will soon win this youthful exchange, hands down.
Parents, teachers and friends of the school– one of about 900 Waldorfs worldwide– gathered Thursday night, June 2, at the Charlottesville Community Design Center to chow down and check out various forms of sustainable design planned for their school, now located in Crozet.
"Green design is taking over," said Kent Ayyildiz, a filmmaker who's making a promotional film on plans for the school's new home on a 13-acre site on Rio Road.
There, the school plans to construct a new building to include a living roof, geothermal climate control, and walls made of straw bales and rammed earth.
Sarah Tremaine, chair of the Waldorf Foundation Board, and Moira Crosby, campaign manager, enjoy themselves.
Betsy Ayyildiz chair of the school board, with Nancy Regan, school administrator, and Vivian Jones-Schmidt, chair of the faculty
Builder and event sponsor Dale Abrahamse, architect Ted Jones, Annie Rose Guppy, and David Zachon
Heather Rolfe and Dorothy Holden came to check out the green design.
Megan Weary and Marc Hahn liked what they saw.
