Eight months after its official dedication, the county's new Athletics and Activity Center is proving the old adage that "if you build it, they will come."
Eight months after its official dedication, the county's new Athletics and Activity Center is proving the old adage that "if you build it, they will come."
The former Hendersonville Christian School on South Grove Street has become so popular with county residents, Parks and Recreation Director Tim Hopkin said the facilities' gymnasium schedule is fully booked up six days a week.
"There are little blocks of time during open gym when there might be one or two people in there, but predominantly, from first thing in the morning until we close, we're very busy," Hopkin said Friday.
Meanwhile, classrooms in the 12,000-square-foot activities building are bustling from Monday through Saturday with ballet, yoga, table tennis, martial arts, pilates, Zumba, quilting and Blue Ridge Community College classes, he said.
"We have a few blocks of time available, especially in the evening," Hopkin said. "But they're not open all the time. We do a lot of juggling between the rooms to accommodate as many users as we can."
County commissioners bought the 9.45-acre property and buildings in January 2013 for $910,000, far below its market value, and later won a $500,000 state grant that funded about half of its renovation costs.
Back in 2007, a county study of parks and recreation facilities identified a recreation center with an indoor gym and a soccer complex as two of the public's biggest desires. The study priced a new rec center alone at $7.6 million then.
Hopkin credited commissioners with seeing the value of purchasing the former Christian school property, which boasts not only a 15,700-square-foot gym but also a multipurpose field that the county is resurfacing with artificial turf and illuminating at night.
Depending on weather, Hopkin said that field should be open to soccer, lacrosse, flag football, ultimate Frisbee and other turf uses by late spring or early summer.
"Call it karma or whatever, but things happen for a reason," Hopkin said, referring to the school's foreclosure sale. He said the school's location in the heart of town, within 5 miles of half the county's population, is enhanced by its proximity to Jackson Park.
"Our ability to connect with Jackson Park is one property or one easement away," he said.
The facility's gym stays full thanks in large part to basketball league games, pickup basketball and volleyball, Hopkin said, as well as the growing popularity of pickleball. The latter is a racquet sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis, and ping-pong, using a perforated plastic ball.
"Pickleball quickly went from being one or two people to being a full-on sensation here," Hopkin said. "We'd been hearing rumblings among the senior community…that this paddle sport was kind of moving with retirees as they traveled across the country. And it's very much arrived in Henderson County."
The athletics center now hosts three pickup pickleball games in the gym three days a week from 9 a.m. until noon, and Hopkin said the players are very enthusiastic.
"If we were out there today and they were here, they'd be dragging you out on the court to play. They want everyone to join in and share their passion."
When the pickleball players depart, Hopkin said senior basketball players keep the gym floor squeaking several times a week with pickup games. Don't let their knee braces fool you, he warned: These active 60- and 70-year-olds come to compete.
"They're pretty serious about the sport," Hopkin said. "There's some banging and boxing out. I won't say elbows are thrown, but there's definitely space created and they're not afraid to go for the rebound. It's great fun to see them out there."
On Wednesday nights in March from 6 to 7:15 p.m., and regularly during the open gym period, youth futsal players take the court. Popularized in South America, futsal is a form of indoor soccer that uses a ball with a heavier bladder that doesn't bounce as much.
"Because it's played on a court and because a court is smooth, it's a lot of footwork and quick passing, as opposed to kicking and booting and just flying it through the air," Hopkin said. "It develops a lot of good skills for soccer that translate to the outdoor sport."
Due to renovations on the activity center building, Hopkin said it was September before classroom use began in earnest.
"Within four to six weeks, we weren't quite at this level but we were busy enough that it became a bit stressful having an office here and an office at Jackson Park," he said.
To consolidate staff in one central space, parks and recreation moved most of its employees to the new activity center. That's where residents should call if they want to book space for a birthday party, community meeting or other classroom use, Hopkin said. The number is 697-4884.
March classes scheduled at the activities center include "Tai Chi for Arthritis," "Hula Hoop Fitness," Zumba classes and clogging.
Activities such as a monthly chess tournament offer fun for all ages, said Bridgette Galloway, recreation programs supervisor. She added the newly renovated, heated gym has allowed the county to hold special events for children during the colder months, including movie nights and the Daddy-Daughter Night last month for Valentine's Day.
"It was the first year we did it and it sold out," Galloway said. "There were about 200 folks there and we still had more people wanting to come."

Krystle Campbell funeral
Pallbearers carry the casket of Krystle Campbell, a victim of the Boston Marathon bombing, to St. Joseph Catholic Church for her funeral in Medford, Massachusetts. A manhunt ended for Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing after he was apprehended on a boat parked on a residential property in Watertown, Massachusetts. His brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, the other suspect, was shot and killed after a car chase and shootout with police. The bombing, on April 15 at the finish line of the marathon, killed three people and wounded more than two hundred.

Property Tax Revolution.Com
I am a real estate investor, broker and developer from Atlanta, Georgia. I am an expert at lowering property taxes and I'm going to show every property owner in the US how to save hundreds or even thousands of dollars on their property taxes. When times were good and property values were going up, they raised your taxes every year or two, but where are they with the refunds and lower assessments now that values have fallen off a cliff. They won't lower your property taxes unless you force them to do it and I am going to show evryone how to do it.
Anyone who owns real estate in the United States. I'm sure there would be some international appeal as well, but I am not familiar with the methods used for property assessment and taxation in other countries. I will therefore concentrate on marketing my products in the US.
I would love a cool, modern design. I am not looking for anything that is too simplistic or incorperates a roof of a house or dollar $igns. I am looking for something more imaginative than that.This product is all about saving money and beating the government at their own game. I am good at real estate, lowering taxes and writing books and I am hiring you...the experts at logo design to build me something nice, that I can be proud of.

So I got my Son of Animus yesterday, and it's the first pet I've actually used with an interrupt, however other than deep breath does this actually work on anyting?
I guess it wont work on multi-round abilities like burrow/fly etc as they will always miss, but what about things like hunting party/swarm? Wish? and is it worth taking over Extra plating?
EDIT: Does not interrupt Wish from the crawdad/lamp
EDIT2: Good way to get an extra attack in if you are faster than the enemy, it essentially stuns them through their first turn so you can go immediately again. (Cool way to win, last two pets each, you can get two big hits in before they get even one, plus the mech rez this gives you a nice cushion)

BUT, I don't know if everything is correct, so if anyone discover some error, I would be glad to know!

Discussion in 'General MMA discussion' started by Billy Emmons, May 20, 2013.
another one was when Bisping blinked at Hendo to let him know it was time to throw the h-bomb
No comment.......
Exactly. Contrary to popular belief Bisping wasn't Franksteined after that punch....that was the pre planned signal for Hendo to go for a flying elbow. Which is the most set up move ever after the Showtime kick....
All in Fun: When you are a Bear of very little Brain, and you think of things, you find sometimes that a thing which seamed very Thingish inside you, is Quite different when it gets out into the Open and has other People looking at it!!!
The One and Only WINNIE the POOH
what about mark hunt tapping struve at 0:21
Don't forget about that one time Rampage smiled at Wandy right before he got the beating of his life.
That one was probably the most obvious
I wonder what ko Dana has planned next, some people say he gets his ideas from Vince McMahon
Organised crime gets away with murder, so I don't see why people believe fight fixing in the UFC is impossible, there's some large quantities of cash changing hands in this game. Though it doesn't surprise me that people can't see past their own little bubble of a world they live in.
PSYCHOICON, get out of FIGHT GENOME's Head!!! OMG!! He just might be possessed! lol
Damn it, I said pretty much the same thing on page 1 and got no response, and you say it after me and get 4 likes. Nonsense. I quit the internet
Can only assume he's messing with OP...
a lil chapped, but otherwise just kinda "tender".
Or better yet......Why IS your' Butt sore???
the uneducated didn't know what you meant
Next time get it done properly, prison style.
In this gif you can clearly see Luke nod to Vitor before Vitor throws the kick!
If I recall correctly, Rockhold was a favourite in this fight, right? So he might have talked Vitor into the fix and put heaps of money on him to win! They talked it up, hyped everyone up and laughed all the way to the bank. Vitor might have even done this before (Silva fight?!)
I was jonestly shocked when I saw this gif.
Both fighters should be suspended.
lol^^ Here is the thing..... Im going to debunk this just once....
Rockhold kept taunting him the entire round, He was playing the "cool feather" trying to throw Belfort off and get him more amped up to burn through that adrenaline dump. It was also helping him feel more comfortable I would think and building his confidence, that was the 3rd or 4th time he had beckoned Belfort with taunts, and it was perfect timing for Belfort because I dont know about you, but when someone taunts me in a fight I throw something immediately.... Which would cause Rockhold to flinch, and the spinning back-kick is a two-part strike, 1st part - Flinch, Second-part - Connect..... Beautiful!!!
copy/paste job from the other thread:
It's not that sketchy really, you're watching it in SUPER SLO MO. If you actually look at Vitor, he's already bouncing to generate the momentum of spinning around when Rockhold nods/feints or whatever the f--- he's doing lol.
i think its pretty obvious that he threw the fight
Separate names with a comma.

Peanut butter and jelly, ice cream and hot fudge and St. Simons Island and downright magical weddings. All things that are totally meant to be. Case in point? This stop-you-in-your-tracks Villa de Suenos affair captured by Meghan Stewart Photography. Equal parts seriously elegant and DIY fabulous, it's the kind of soiree that will take.your.breath away one uber-glamorous moment at a time... all while filling your day with some serious happy. Care to join me in the gallery for all of the pretty? Click here for more.
Click here for the FULL wedding!
From the Bride... I loved planning every detail of our wedding day. I wanted the day that Joey and I had looked forward to for so long to be meaningful and timeless with a vintage, romantic style. We live in Kentucky but chose to have the ceremony and reception at Villa de Suenos in St. Simons Island, Georgia. It is a gorgeous, Mediterranean-style beach house with great ocean views and beautiful architecture. We invited only our closest family and friends.
The décor was a huge DIY project by my mom's best friend. The colors I chose were pink and gold, and we added a lot of lace, crystal and brass accents. The flowers were mainly roses, but she also used hydrangeas, peonies and ranunculus. She created a beautiful floral backdrop for the wedding ceremony, flower balls that hung from the ceiling of the pavilion and several other beautiful floral accents. The centerpieces were tall floral arrangements in antique brass candelabras and beautifully-decorated boxes that my mother made. Several of our family members contributed making our wedding day meaningful. One of my aunts married us. My great-grandfather, who could not be at the ceremony, recorded a very special prayer that was played during the ceremony. My mother-in-law made her homemade peach preserves for all of the guests. Another one of my aunts made the ring bearer's pillow using a lace handkerchief that my mom bought in Venice, Italy. And yet another of my aunts did my hair and makeup.
It rained on our wedding day, so we had to have the ceremony under the pavilion instead of in the yard as originally planned. I had worried for months that it would rain and ruin the whole day, but it actually turned out perfect! The ceremony was so intimate under the pavilion. Joey and I felt like we were the only people in the room. It was a wonderful feeling! The day turned out to be more wonderful than I had ever imagined. Now Joey and I can look back at the breathtaking photos by our photographer Meaghan Stewart and remember this day forever.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — NBC says it's weighing bringing back Maya Rudolph's variety show.
In May, the actress-comedian starred in "The Maya Rudolph Show," a special that combined comedy and music.
NBC executives told a TV critics' meeting Sunday that they're in discussions with the actress-comedian about what the program would look like if it returned.
Rudolph has a very loyal following from her "Saturday Night Live" days and the network was encouraged by audience response to the special, NBC Entertainment Robert Greenblatt said.
NBC is searching for a format that would put Rudolph on the air on a regular or occasional basis.
Rudolph, whose film credits include "Bridesmaids," has said she would love to do a weekly series.

Library Security and Insecurity – A Brief Risk Assessment
~ Robert L. Balliot, MLIS
Anne Frontino of the Haddonfield Public Library in New Jersey queried the PubLib Listserve about privacy and possible misuse of library barcodes on smartphones remarking:
Our library is considering allowing patrons to use barcodes scanned onto their smart phones to check out books. … We have only had a few instances of patrons trying this method of checking out items, but we feel that there may be some privacy or other misuse issues lurking.
It was obvious that there is no universally accepted standard for securing library user information, yet privacy is a cornerstone of libraries, library ethics, and the library profession. In fact, a privacy guarantee may be the one thing in the information age that sets libraries apart from other massive information resources. It may be the singular added value that provides validation of libraries as a public service.
Library records and library use are afforded privacy protection by statute and / or published opinions in the fifty States and the District of Columbia. Many states have enacted Security Breach notification laws and Data Disposal laws that safeguard privacy. Library user privacy is also championed by the American Library Association Code of Ethics specifically through Article III:
We protect each library user's right to privacy and confidentiality with respect to information sought or received and resources consulted, borrowed, acquired or transmitted. ~~ read more

INJURED OFFSHORE NEAR Odessa, TX?
If you live In Odessa, TX and have recently suffered an injury while working as an employee on an oilfield or offshore and you suspect that it was caused by a defective drilling rig, you probably have questions about your legal rights and whether or not multiple parties may be responsible for the injuries you have sustained. An offshore drilling accident can be a harrowing experience for an injured employee, but knowing your rights immediately could help you determine the legal claims you may need to consider.
You may be eligible, for example, to pursue both the personal injury claim in the event the defect was caused by a negligent third party as well as a workers' compensation claim. It is important to identify an on offshore drilling accident attorney with years of experience in the field in order to help you recover monetary damages and maximize your recovery from this injury. Offshore drilling accidents can lead to catastrophic consequences for employees, many of whom may not understand the full range of their rights.
What to Do After an Offshore Drilling Accident in Odessa, TX
During this critical time, you should be focusing on getting better and moving on with your life and having an offshore drilling accident attorney who has handled the cases like this before, manage the investigation and evaluation of your case is strongly recommended. In these cases, one of the most common questions that emerges is who is at fault. Equipment and rig defects are, unfortunately, the common cause for far too many preventable offshore platform and oilfield accidents in the United States. When an accident happens due to another's negligence, an offshore drilling accident lawyer may be needed.
In many situations, the pressure to focus on profits and maximize production every single day lead some oil companies to minimize features that are designed to protect workers and reduce safety inspections. The most common causes of a defective drilling rig include:
- Improper maintenance
- Design defects
- Manufacturing defects
- Corrosion to struts, pipes and valves
- Missing or faulty safety guards
- Damaged cables, tongs or blocks
- Oil drill malfunctions
n these situations, you may be eligible to pursue two separate types of legal claims against different parties. Consulting with a knowledgeable offshore drilling accident attorney as soon as possible after the accident has occurred is strongly recommended.

Spiroflow Ltd, a world-leading manufacturer of conveying and weighing systems, has announced an upgrade to its C1 weigh filler for pallet-handled bags.
Ideal for low- to medium-volume use where bulk bags filled on pallets are moved by forklift truck, the new C1 facilitates dust-free, accurate filling of up to 20 bulk bags per hour. Its base is directly mounted on an approved load cell weigh platform, and the required weight can be pre-set for automatic cut-off. The platform includes a vibration facility for an even, accurate fill and effective compaction – ideal for handling products that aerate and resulting in a stable load for both storage and transportation.
Featuring modular construction for ease of modification, the new C1 now features automatic height adjustment for different-sized bags. Its inflatable neck seal ensures a dust-free environment and minimizes product waste, and removing the filled bags has been made even speedier with the addition of a roller conveyor to complement the automatic bag loop-release facility.
The new C1 has also retained many of the previously existing features, including a carbon/stainless steel filling nozzle and a dual concentric filling spout incorporating a venting system.
"Many millions of bulk bags, with a capacity from 500 to 1500 kg, are sold worldwide every year, making them one of the most convenient, cost-effective methods of packaging, storage, and transport," explained Rob Hudson, managing director at Spiroflow. "Customers in industries ranging from food and pharmaceuticals to plastics and building products use bulk bags, and hence require the best equipment to fill and discharge their often fragile or fine-particle products quickly and with the minimum of fuss.
"At Spiroflow our technical team is constantly innovating, developing new solutions and adaptations in our test center to meet customer demand for the next improvement or upgrade. Our C Series of weigh fillers remain extremely popular as they're both efficient and versatile, and we're confident that the new C1 will prove an equally successful addition to our range."
Spiroflow Ltd is a manufacturer of flexible screw conveyors, aero mechanical conveyors, tubular cable and chain drag conveyors, vacuum conveyors, bulk bag dischargers, bulk bag fillers, ingredients handling and weighing systems.

Another view on the casino statewide ballot question
It is unhelpful to use generic anti-gambling arguments to fight the proposed casino in West Warwick.
Thus far, the bulk of the funding for the kaleidoscopic coalition of naysayers huddled under the banner of "Save Our State" has come from the two gambling facilities we already have - Lincoln Park and Newport Grand.
Lottery tickets of bewildering variety are sold in virtually every convenience store throughout the Plantations, and the government of the state we're supposed to save uses a good portion of their proceeds as partial substitute for the tax obligations of people who have already demonstrated they can afford their own homes.
Gambling is here and our ruling infrastructure has embraced it with all available arms.
And lotteries are not necessarily less enticing than full-bore casinos. My favorite story on that count is of the man in Ontario (yes, Virginia, there really is something beyond Buffalo) who, some 30 years ago, sold his home and spent all of the $50,000 he received on tickets for a provincially sponsored lottery.
He lost.
Gambling is not the problem. It's not the only part of life that offers potentially unhealthy temptations. More spinach, anyone?
Nor does it court the risk of certain doom each and every time it is undertaken. One can visit Foxwoods and spend, including transportation, less than the cost of a good meal.
Gambling is simply hoping you'll get a little more out than you're willing to put in.
It seems to me there are two overall questions to focus on. One is the economic impact of such a facility on Rhode Island in general and West Warwick in particular. This is not at all clear.
The report of the Rhode Island Special House Commission to Study Gaming, submitted on April 1, 2003, said that "Quantifying the economic development potential of expanded gambling is a complex project."
Qu'elle surprise!
Even Save Our State cannot be unqualified. Their Web site says they "are concerned with the potential overall economic harm, and specific damage to our tourism and hospitality industry, that a casino will cause."
Well, the difference between 'potential' and 'actual' can be very large.
Save Our State also lists their concern about an "out-of-state" operation setting up shop here.
The idea that not letting people or organizations into Rhode Island because they are from out-of-state is ridiculous on its face.
My favorite, however, is this. "Save Our State, Inc., welcomes all Rhode Islanders to join with us in voicing opposition to amending our Constitution, the repository of the basic rights securing our liberty and freedom."
Constitutions include within their pages the provision for future amendment.
They are living documents and, as such, they are supposed to be changed when new circumstances within the bodies they respectively govern require it.
I'm not arguing this means that giving Harrah's the green light is a good thing. Let's just be sure we know why we're deciding whatever it is we're going to decide.
The second overall question, and the far more important one, is how the Narragansett Indian tribe can be helped toward its own goals for economic and social development.
Surely we can come up with something better than letting them have a piece of a casino.
I want to hear economists debating the ins and outs of Question 1.
I don't want to hear Lincoln Almond recycling stories about down-and-outers in Las Vegas or church officials talking about the road to perdition.
Nor do I want Chief Sachem Matthew Thomas knowing or unknowingly appealing to the guilt within anybody who has a sense of the history of this country and the treatment of the people who were here first.
Let's hear from the economic experts what a casino might do. And let's figure out how everyone living in this beautiful corner of the universe can get a fair shake in its future.

Upon first approach, the box might be a bit confounding. It's cute, but what is it? A huge birdhouse? A miniature school stuck on a pole?
In fact, it's a Little Free Library, and it's becoming a popular way to build community and foster a love of reading.
The Dowd family installed one last year in their Arcadia neighborhood — at the corner of Canfield Avenue and Juneau Place — and it immediately created a buzz.
"[Canfield] is a very quiet street where kids play and where block parties are held and it's a really active corner for dog walkers, so it's a little meeting place in our neighborhood," Patty Mackin Dowd said. "As soon as it went up, people were excited to put their cast-off books in there and share with people."
The Arcadia Little Free Library is one of hundreds of Little Free Libraries across the country. They usually take the form of a small box, modeled after a one-room schoolhouse, that's designed to hold books. Organizers can either buy a Little Free Library from the project's website or build one themselves. Then they fill it with books that others can take with them and either return to the library or pass them along to others.
"It's a really great way to share [a book] that you don't necessarily want to get rid of but you want to share with people," said Mackin Dowd, whose husband, Rich Dowd, built their library out of recycled wood.
Rick Brooks, one of the co-founders of Little Free Libraries, said there are only a few rules for using them: generosity and sharing being at the top of the list.
"It is everybody's library," said Brooks, who's based in Hudson, Wis. "[People] feel really good about sharing books that they treasure. With all the bad news around, this is something that people can really feel good about."
He said the Little Free Library project got rolling in the summer of 2010. Since then, hundreds have been built and installed all over the country. There are more than 20 in Baltimore, some formally registered with the Little Free Library's site and some not. Brooks said there could easily be many more libraries in the city that the official group doesn't know about. He said he sees new ones every day.
In order to register a box, someone involved with the Little Free Library sends contact information to the Little Free Library site as well as a photograph of the Little Free Library and a brief explanation as to why the person wanted to establish it.
Once they send that information, stewards receive a kit, including a registration number and a simple sign to put on their library: "Take a book, Return a Book."
Brooks said the original stated goals he and co-founder Todd Bol had were to promote reading for children and literacy for adults and to build libraries around the world.
But it's the idea of bringing people together, he said, that trumps everything.
"We want to promote a sense of community," Brooks said. "That's what it's all about. It's a wonderful thing for readers of course, but it's also good for people who want to belong to a community and give."
Brooks said he wanted not only to build communities of book lovers but also connect with those who don't have access to books.
"We made a deliberate effort to reach out to not only active readers but people who can still discover what you can learn from books," he said.
According to Sarah Sette, a neighbor who registered the Dowd's Little Free Library, a sense of community is alive and well in Arcadia.
"We love our neighborhood," Sette said. "And right here in the heart of our neighborhood we have a little library because we're cool like that."
She said it's an interesting experience to exchange books with neighbors. The Arcadia library recently housed titles including "The Cellist of Sarajevo" by Steven Galloway, "The Screwtape Letters" by C.S. Lewis, and "Milk Glass Moon" by Adriana Trigiani.
"Sometimes you open it and you're surprised to see what's in there," Sette said. "I'll wonder 'Hmm, who's reading that?'"
Sette's daughter Eva Schneiderman, 16, said the Little Free Library was a help to her while she was taking a class called "Literature of the Working Class."
"We were going to read 'The Grapes of Wrath' or '[The Great] Gatsby' and I found a book called 'Working Men,'" Schneiderman said. "We ended up reading that book for class."
Carol Vaeth and her partner, Matt Rinehart, are stewards of a Little Free Library in the 3500 block of Glenmore Ave., near Burdick Park in Northeast Baltimore. Vaeth said the response to the Little Free Library has been mostly positive.
"I was worried that there may be vandalism because of where we lived, but there hasn't been," she said. "I'm very happy about that."
Vaeth said she and Rinehart buy about $8 worth of books every other week to keep the Little Free Library stocked. At first, Vaeth said, she had to consistently restock the library because books were being taken but not returned. One day she decided not to restock and leave the library mostly empty.
"After about a week people started filling it up," she said. "It put the responsibility back on the community so that as stewards we don't have to continually supply it."
Vaeth said their Little Free Library has brought them great joy.
"We have fun doing it," she said. "It's not much of a burden. It's well worth it."
The Village Learning Place, a Baltimore nonprofit library that offers educational programs and other resources, has a Little Free Library in its backyard. Tim Ashdown, an AmeriCorps volunteer who works as a librarian and a leader/coordinator of the adult education program at the Village Learning Place, said Little Free Libraries have a personal element that other libraries may lack.
"When you're picking up a book at a Little Free Library, you know someone else has become a part of that story," he said. "You're getting to connect with someone you don't even know."
Ashdown said Little Free Libraries and other libraries are pushing books back into people's hands in a world dominated by technology and short attention spans.
"People are multitasking all the time," he said. "When you set [everything] down and pick up a book, the book represents a more intentional engagement with the story."
Brooks said that while Little Free Libraries serve primarily as gathering and sharing places and don't provide the services that local libraries do, they have received enthusiastic support and endorsement from public libraries, school libraries and even NPR book reviewer Nancy Pearl.
"We have a bumper sticker," he said, "that says "Libraries Big and Small We Love Them All."

Whatever does he mean? Seriously, does this look obsessed to you?...
It's not like I just ordered some egg molds and picks and another bento box with matching bag and water bag...um...ok maybe I did.
And maybe some of my stuff is still at the babysitters. And maybe that doesn't show hubby's sectioned plate for his lunches. And maybe I did go hog wild a bit at the disney store, but in my defense they were just so stinking cheap and cute! And I HAD to order the latest one because I needed one more grown up appropriate for ME to take to work.
Just the new girl around here looking for some lunch ideas.
Yes. Yes, it does. I've been meaning to speak with you about this, and warn you you're in dangerous territory with that GINORMOUS collection.
I mean, that is so excessive. .... not.
{I am calculating the space requirements of what I had on hand, what I just recently bought, and what I plan to get and... we will have to move out to make room. That's reasonable, right? Right?}
You know, I do have this friend that moved into the house across the street from her without selling the original house. She uses the first one as an attic. This seems like a perfectly reasonable method of storage for the bento stash to me.
haha really?!? that's awesome!
It's a hobby just like anything else! Just tell him "at least you get to eat the results. Imagine if I were into snake charming."
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
At least it's a healthy obsession. Mental health counseling could cost 80 dollars an hour.
You are NOT alone :) I've tried to limit myself to 2 totes for everything - now I am using boxes as decor! Not to hide them, of course...

A 30-year-old parking lot attendant is clinging to life after being beaten with a brick during a robbery in Center City Wednesday night, police said.
The incident unfolded about 7:50 p.m. in the EZ Park garage on Locust Street near 13th.
Witnesses told police they saw a black man in his 30s with dreadlocks attack the man and then rifle through his pockets once he was on the ground. Police said the man was wearing a black jacket.
A thin black woman with short hair who was wearing a green dress rummaged through the attendant's booth while the man went through the victim's pockets, police said. The two jumped into a black Old City taxi cab and fled east on Locust.
It was unclear what the suspects took from the victim, and cops found the brick that was used in the attack.
The victim was taken to the Jefferson University Hospital in extremely critical condition, and police remained on the scene Wednesday night.
Two cameras recorded the incident and three witnesses spoke to cops, police said. Tipsters should call 215-686-TIPS.

Visit South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe for the ultimate southern Africa experience.
Visit Southern Africa and travel from Johannesburg, through the Kruger National Park, to Victoria Falls and the Khama Rhino Sanctuary before returning to South Africa. Here's a chance to witness golden sunsets, camp in remote wilderness, safari through African plains and cruise rivers filled with iconic wildlife. Journey through South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe and be amazed by powerful waterfalls, enchanted by encounters with endangered species and inspired by the resolve of communities emerging from darker times. Experience Southern Africa and walk away with renewed hope, inspiration and a heart full of memories.
In 2019 this trip will visit Masebe Nature Reserve rather Mokopane. There will be a morning bush walk to the surrounding caves to see ancient rock art from the many different tribes. Further, the Victoria Falls visit will be optional to allow travellers to experience the gigantic curtain of water without commentary from a local guide.
Camp under an Africa sky within Kruger National Park. You can't get much closer to nature than that!
Spot wildlife in Chobe National Park during a sunset river cruise. This is the time many animals – such as elephants, cheetahs and lions – come to drink so get your cameras ready!
Experience untouched wilderness of Botswana's Okavango Delta by staying on a remote island bush camp. At night, the sounds of the African bush are the only things you will hear.
Visit the only place in Botswana where both the white and black Rhinoceros' still remain: the Khama Rhino Sanctuary.
Cycle through the colourful streets of Soweto with a local and hear firsthand about the townships' rough but inspired history.
On this trip you will be accompanied by 3 crew members - Group Leader, Driver and a camp assistant. Your Camp Assistant is responsible for setting up camp and preparing your meals so you can take extra time to relax at the end of your day.
Camping beds/stretchers, sleeping bags, blankets and pillows are provided for camping nights to provide an extra level of comfort.
Accommodation on day 4 is a farmstay and a working cattle ranch outside Mokopane. So be ready for some real rural experiences!
Camping on a remote island in the heart of the Okavango wilderness is an experience you'll never forget. However, there are no facilities. Dig a bush toilet and go without a shower, it's all part of the Delta experience.
A cycle tour in Soweto is included on the final day of the trip. It is not an overly strenuous ride, buy Soweto is not completely flat so you should have a reasonable level of fitness.
Wildlife viewing requires some sacrifice, like getting up before day break for dawn game drives. However, the lack of sleep is worth it for the exhilaration and excitement of spotting your first lion or rhino!
We use our purpose-built overland vehicles for the duration of this trip. This multi-purpose truck allows for great game viewing with large sliding windows. As such the trucks do not have air-conditioning and conditions can be dusty and hot.
The going can be slow over the long distances and often bumpy roads.
As the early bird catches the worm, the early camper sights the animals. There will be many early starts either to make use of the better safari time or to beat the morning traffic on long travel days.
This itinerary is valid for departures from 01 January 2018 to 31 December 2018. View the itinerary for departures between 01 January 2019 - 31 December 2019
Trip search is unavailable.
There are currently no scheduled departures on our Experience Southern Africa trip. If you are interested in other trips in the region visit one of the links below.
1. A single supplement is available on this trip. Please speak to your booking agent for further information.
2. This is a combination trip made up of two shorter trips. This means the composition of your group may change in Victoria Falls as some group members leave and new ones join you.
3. This trip finishes in Soweto on Day 16 after our cycle adventure. Please don't book any international flights until after 8pm this evening.
In 2019 this trip will visit Masebe Nature Reserve rather Mokopane. There will be a morning bush walk to the surrounding caves to see ancient rock art from the many different tribes. Further, the Victoria Falls visit will be optional to allow travellers to experience the gigantic curtain of water without commentary from a local guide.
Our Experience Southern Africa trips score an average of 4.47 out of 5 based on 43 reviews in the last year.
Varied tour that gave lots of opportunities to see animals. The Okavango Delta camping was a real highlight. Be prepared for some long drives but it's definitely worth it!
Review submitted 03 Mar 2018
This trip was meant to be about animals and it offered so much more. Loved it!

Hi all!
After the debacle with my new system (see this post), I decided to keep the CPU and memory and to build a home server with it.. Now the case I've got I'd use for it, and now I'm looking for nice motherboard to go with it... I'd like something that is at least the same form factor (MicroATX), but that might sport some Pro/Deluxe features (nice on-board audio, on-board graphics aren't a must, but good enough graphics would be nice, as I plan for it to also be a set top box, good connectivity [USBs, e-SATA, FireWire, etc]). Alternatively one that might have a 16x PCI-E for better graphics... Now all this would be for an AMD FX AM3+ CPU, and after my last experience with ASRock, I'd stay away from nForce hardware for the time being.
Any ideas?

In models featuring two beds, the beds are often perpendicular to one another and are excellent for children with a couple of years' age difference. Models with workstations often have a shelf built in, which is perfect for a laptop and various stationary supplies. Units with storage space on the bottom allow your children to organize and put away their belongings in one central location. There are both wood and metal models available.

EDGEWATER — Board members of Southeast Volusia Little League Inc. have told police here they won't pursue criminal charges against the organization's treasurer, who is suspected of taking more than $8,000 in league funds for her personal use.
According to a police report, league president Marc Penning informed Edgewater authorities Thursday that Christy D'Aliso, a Volusia County schoolteacher, had entered into a civil agreement to repay the stolen money. He added that D'Aliso had already presented the board with a check.
A police incident report released Friday quoted Penning saying the board of directors believed "this was the best way to proceed at this time."
When contacted by telephone Friday afternoon, Penning, 41, said, "I have no comment on the matter."
D'Aliso, who is identified as an elementary physical education teacher at Sweetwater Elementary School in Port Orange on the Volusia County School system website, told Edgewater police Detective Matthew Snyder during a Wednesday interview that "as a teacher, she was not paid during the summer months and began to experience financial difficulties."
She additionally advised she only took money during the summer months to pay bills and purchase food for her family.
D'Aliso also claimed she put $5,000 from her 2011 tax return into the league's bank account to repay her charges, the police report stated.
The report said D'Aliso, in a voluntary written statement to police, indicated she was "truly sorry" for her actions and "regretted her decisions."
Several attempts to contact D'Aliso Friday were unsuccessful.
The decision not to prosecute comes almost a week after Penning first informed police that he suspected the 39-year-old D'Aliso "had been using business funds for personal purchases since October 2010."
He caught the misappropriation during a review of the bank records of the league – which now operates under the name Southeast Volusia Babe Ruth.
That review, Penning said, uncovered several thousand dollars had been withdrawn from the nonprofit's bank account without board authorization. When he originally brought his suspicions to the attention of law enforcement on Dec. 21, Penning indicated he wanted to pursue criminal charges against D'Aliso, on behalf of the organization, the report said.
The records showed 35 transactions in Edgewater between Aug 16, 2011 and Nov. 13, 2012. They included a $130.55 online payment to Allstate Insurance company; a December 2011 payment to the City of Edgewater Utilities for $101.14; and approximately 25 ATM withdrawals from the TD Bank, 2130 S. Ridgewood Ave., totaling almost $7,000.
During the Wednesdy conversation with Snyder, the report shows D'Aliso advised that while acting as league treasurer she made charges on the league's credit/debit card totaling approximately $8,061 in Edgewater.
"That is an extreme amount of money," Edgewater Detective Sgt. Kim Rash said Friday. "It is grand theft."
She said her agency was prepared to move forward with criminally charging D'Aliso, but now considers the case closed because Penning has indicated the little league group does not wish to pursue prosecution.
That does not mean other jurisdictions could not seek charges, as investigators believe similar illegal transactions occurred in other cities, Rash said. However, her agency has no information about the other locales or amounts of money that may have been involved.
Penning initially contacted New Smyrna Beach police about the fraudulent transactions, but Sgt. Eugene Griffith said his agency did not investigate because it believed the crimes were based in Edgewater.
Volusia County school offices were closed Friday for the holidays, so attempts to get comment on whether D'Aliso's actions will have any impact on her teaching career were unsuccessful.

SANFORD, Fla. (AP) — George Zimmerman says in a court affidavit that he has liabilities and debts of at least $2 million.
Zimmerman filed the affidavit for indigency Tuesday so that he could hire public defenders. The application says he has less than $150 in cash on hand and doesn't have an income.
Zimmerman was arrested Monday on charges of aggravated assault, battery and criminal mischief after his girlfriend told deputies that he had pointed a shotgun at him, pushed her out of the house they shared and smashed a coffee table.
He was released from jail Tuesday afternoon, just hours after a judge set bail of $9,000.
Zimmerman was acquitted earlier this year of fatally shooting Trayvon Martin.

Southampton goalkeeper Kelvin Davis has signed a contract extension which will keep him at St Mary's until 2016.
The 36-year-old is Saints' longest-serving player with 283 appearances since arriving in the summer of 2006, with his previous deal set to expire at the end of next season.
Davis has competed for first-team opportunities with Paulo Gazzaniga and Artur Boruc in the Premier League this term, making nine appearances - and the club captain has hailed the impact of chairmen Nicola Cortese and Markus Liebherr since his arrival.
"When I first came to this club, to say that I would have been here for this period of time is something that I would have dreamed about," Davis the club's official website.
"For that dream to have materialised and for me to be feeling good is something I am really, really pleased with.
"I've seen a few things – a few ups and downs – but since Nicola Cortese arrived with Markus Liebherr, the club has been on a journey.
"If those guys hadn't been here then I certainly wouldn't have been either, and it's great that I've been a part of that under Nicola's leadership. That has allowed me to fulfil my dream.
Manager Mauricio Pochettino underlined the impact the goalkeeper has on the squad on and off the pitch, highlighting the experience gained during his 19-year professional career as vital to the club's rise through the divisions.
"As club captain, Kelvin plays an extremely important role at Southampton," Pochettino added.
"His presence in the dressing room is second to none, and his experience has proved to be vitally important to the Club as we look to achieve our aims.
"He has been a massive part of this club during his six-and-a-half years here, and there are few things in football that he hasn't seen so far in his career.
"Every successful team needs to have characters and people like Kelvin, so I'm delighted that he has committed himself to the club for a further three-and-a-half years."

True service to others is often communicated most meaningfully by offering help with small, pedestrian tasks, as opposed to making grand gestures. For 25 volunteers from the Columbus School of Law community, that meant spending a few hours on a cold Monday morning preparing meals and snacks, making blankets, and sorting donated clothing for those in need.
The law school contingent was part of an overall volunteer force from The Catholic University of America of more than 600 people—largest group ever—who chose to participate in The Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service on Jan. 20.
Created by Congress in 1994, the act asks all Americans each year on the third Monday in January to put in a "day on, not a day off."
This year, Catholic University-affiliated volunteers fanned out to 14 locations, including the National Park Service, the Armed Forces Retirement Home, Ronald McDonald House, Beacon House, and Washington Hebrew Congregation.
Law school volunteers including faculty, staff, and students were bussed to the latter location, where top campus administrators including law school Dean Daniel Attridge and Catholic University President John Garvey joined in the lines that chopped carrots, sliced cabbage, and otherwise helped to prepare portable meals for Washington area families and people in need.
Several law students joined law school Professor Cara Drinan and her two sons in making candy bags and cards for American troops.
Catholic University's Office of Campus Ministry coordinated the overall event for CUA, and the law school's coordinator of pro bono activities, Jennifer Tschirch, oversaw its role in the morning's activities.
The volunteerism celebrated Dr. King's legacy of peaceful progress, while also serving as a component of the law school's Faith in Action series.
Adopted in 2013, the Faith in Action initiative supports three programs each semester which provide a unique opportunity for law students to explore the connections between faith, justice, and service with one another, and participate in real world service initiatives in the local community.

text: Yes, don't worry about offending other people by your baby flashing your bra. Those 'other people' can just deal with it. My DS is nearly 2 and still tugs at my shirt sometimes, though he pretty much knows we don't nurse in public anymore. I don't think most people even realize what is going on. Even non-nursing toddlers tug at their mom's shirts sometimes.

About Artist Qing Ji:
I am a photographer, illustrator, and designer. I approach my art with inspirations from nature, travel, and little things in daily life. What interests me most are forms, light and shadow.
Lotus has always been one of my favorite photography motifs - the flowers bloom elegantly, and the shapes of leaves are very striking. I caught this perfect moment in a summer afternoon, when the lotus leaves danced with the wind, and the intense sunshine cast beautiful shadows on the leaves. What attracted me most were the almost-abstract shapes painted by light and shadow.

Social Graces: Slim Aarons' Mid-Century Society Photographs
Artsy Editorial
Staley-Wise Gallery offers premium quality photographic prints from the Slim Aarons Archive. All photographs are printed and authorised by the Getty Images Gallery, London.
Prints signed by Slim Aarons may also be available.
Slim Aarons's photographs offer a glimpse into the lives of the American jet-set in the post-war era. Aarons photographed the rich and beautiful in palatial Malibu mansions, at society events, and on lush European beaches, winning the trust of celebrities and capturing the likes of Gary Cooper, Mick Jagger, and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in private moments. His oeuvre evokes the glamour and grace of midcentury America, depicting what he often said were "attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places." Aarons stopped working in the years leading up to his death, as he was displeased with the trends of magazine journalism that emerged in the 1990s and 2000s. His body of work represents an essential and iconic time-capsule of a bygone era.

JS: We expect to achieve our projected $450 million in synergies in the third full-year post-closing, which includes $150 million in efficiencies related to NYSE Euronext's current cost-savings program. Significant savings are expected related to technology, clearing and duplicative expenses.
DC: How many clearinghouses does this give you? Will any of them be merged? Will end users see any savings through margin offsets involving your various clearing entities?
JS: ICE currently operates five clearing houses: ICE Clear U.S., ICE Clear Europe and ICE Clear Canada as well as a separate North American clearing house for CDS (ICE Clear Credit) and one of the oldest independent clearing houses in the world, The Clearing Corporation. Under a separate agreement announced in December, ICE Clear Europe will provide clearing services for the London markets of NYSE Liffe beginning in mid-2013. ICE will draw on its experience in successfully transitioning more than 40 clearing members, 26.5 million contracts and more than $16 billion worth of assets during the transition from LCH.Clearnet Ltd. to ICE Clear Europe in 2008. Operational efficiencies are likely, though whether margin offsets are possible, it would be too early to say — however, the primary driver is the need for Liffe customers to have certainty around the delivery of an EMIR-compliant clearinghouse.
DC: In about a decade's time you have gone from running a niche energy market to the head of one of the largest exchange and clearing firms encompassing almost every asset class. How difficult has it been and will it be to manage all the different exchanges and clearinghouses that make up ICE?
JS: We will be drawing from a strong bench of experienced leaders at both ICE and NYSE Euronext to manage the various business lines. We will also benefit from the inherent scalability of the exchange business where we already operate many platforms and where we've had the experience of integrating new businesses. The technology platform synergies in particular are good examples of where we can streamline costs and processes. Creating a premier global market operator with a diversified mix of asset classes and risk management services enhances our growth opportunities while underpinning our continued ability to realize efficiencies, provide a consistent regulatory and market framework across asset classes, and continue to invest in innovative solutions to support our customers' requirements.

Extensions & Bases
2014, some unique products have exploded into our range! The focus is on our four brand new sails and a complete package of hardware components, these are the best and most advanced rig accessories we've ever made. This is the evidence that North Sails is not only the no.1 in sails but also the only true rig brand on the market.
In addition to sails almost every other brand today also offers masts, booms and accessories. These Invariable items are called OEM products that are easily purchased at either of the 2 Asian producers. That's why their products are so similar: a color change here, a new print there and done. This way development or even innovation is out of the question. This is a real shame! Specifically designed components offer so much development potential - not only in terms of comfort, but as well in performance and durability. We already recognized this over 30 years ago back when we were the first sail brand developing our own booms. We are still shaping the future of windsurfing and promoting the sport so together with the team our engineers and technicians have spent even more time on the new rig components for 2014. With some amazing results.
The revolution continues! Hard to see, but true:
The POWER.XT 2.0 has been completely redesigned.
The first and only extension on the market which is compatible with ALL sail brands and can be upgraded with the unique SHOX suspension.
In addition the UNI.XT is the lightest aluminum extension on earth!
The lowest mast base system with central screw plus release option!

An engagement ring is a big purchase—even more so than your wedding dress because it's something you'll wear every day for the rest of your life! It's therefore very important that your ring style be both one that you'll always love, as well as one that's personal to you and your style!
While timeless, classic rings will always be in style, many brides are looking for a unique engagement ring, something that's more personal to them. However since there are so many new jewelry designers out there providing a breadth of options, it can be overwhelming to find the right designer for you! To help narrow it down, here are 10 new jewelry designers offering intricate designs, unexpected materials, and extraordinary styles for each and every bride!

"Recovery of Costs Associated
with Satellite Rodent Housing (Rodents Housed in Laboratories or Areas Outside
the IAS Facilities)"
Laboratories typically housing greater than 10 cages
on a regular or sustained basis will be subject to the regular per diem rate
for housing rodents in the central facility.
Standard animal welfare policy requires that live
animals brought to laboratory or procedural areas outside of the animal facility not be housed in those areas for more than
12 hours.
Certain types of in
vivo studies, however, may require keeping live rodents (mice and rats) in
laboratory space for longer periods
of time (days to weeks). This so called
"satellite housing" is possible with the approval of the Institutional Animal
Care and Use Committee (IACUC), as long as sufficient scientific justification
has been provided.
Animals approved to be held in laboratory satellite facilities are not exempt from animal care and routine
husbandry requirements and laboratory investigator staff are responsible for performing
and documenting these husbandry tasks.
Nevertheless, there are still significant expenses that impact the entire animal care program. Specifically, fresh caging supplies, food, and
water are provided by the central animal facility
and soiled cages are removed and sanitized by the central facility. Furthermore, the satellite facility must be regularly inspected by the IACUC and
the veterinary staff to ensure overall compliance with animal welfare
regulations and policies of the institution and external regulatory and funding
To recover operating
expenses the IACUC has instituted the following policy:

Meh, people can have two Guides untill next version. (copied the previous guide into the new version data).
Now I have to do something about my damn save games. Its impossible to keep going at this point....
(downside to testing out the savegames alot...)
The new content is definetly the kick-up in spooky that we were waiting for. Good for an all-round scare. Or in my wildly twisted case, a great laugh....
(NOTE: I beta-tested the Day 11 content at midnight with all lights off and my face inches away from my laptop screen - I was laughing like a maniac)
And now, for a random club-related discussion topic..
What would your shopping list include?

Im more thinking about something that would let me archive my save games and recall them if I ever need it. Ive got something in mind, but its well beyond my current skills... maybe...
And no problem with the testing - the better it works, the better it is for everyone including myself!
access to the beta translations isnt exactly a downside, either

I've been playing the game on my XP machine and I love it! Your translation is awesome and very nicely done. I really liked the events of the recently translated days and am anxiously looking forward to more.
I noticed you have an onscripter file for Mac OS X, and since I have a Macbook Pro, I thought I'd like to get the game on my laptop as well. I have all of the translation files and the .dmg onscripter file from Sonozaki Futagotachi, but I can only find the demo as an .exe file, which I don't think will run on here. Granted, I'm still learning how this OS works, so I may be missing something painfully obvious.
Is anyone running the game on OS X, and if so, what do I need to do? Or is the demo Windows-exclusive and I have to buy the game to play it on my Mac? Or am I just completely out of luck here?
Thank you for any help with this, and again, thank you to Sonozaki Futagotachi for this wonderful translation!

AS far as I know, you can only get the demo in a self-extracting .exe file. The way to get it onto Mac OS is to first extract it on a windows system...
...I must resist the urge to extract it and make you a zip file....

I have the folder with the actual program and the translation files on my Windows desktop...Since I'm not at my Windows machine at the moment to check this myself, are there any other files saved to, say, Program Files that I'd need to copy over as well or just that folder on my desktop?

I've got a mac, and everything works.
What you gotta do is make a folder with all the files, slap the ONScripter in the middle of it all and run it. It should work if you have all the files lined up correctly.

Okay, something's not working right...someone let me know if I missed something.
I took the extracted folder on my Windows machine that contained the original demo files and the English folder with the translation files (and the hidden WAV folder is in there too) and copied it onto my Macbook. It's currently sitting on my desktop. After getting past the authentication problems whenever I tried to put the Onscripter DMG file in there (I ended up making a new folder and copying the files to get around that), I put the DMG file into the English folder. I open it, then run the Onscripter program in the "dist" folder that appears. Then I get the error "No game data found. This application must be run from a directory containing the ONScripter game data." As I said before, I'm still new to OS X and am sure I'm flubbing up something that would be easy if I was more used to this thing.
What on earth am I doing wrong? I apologize for being such a bother and appreciate all the help so far!

Okay, you have to have a copy of the ONScripter-En.app program right in the same folder as the patch. Just drag the ONScripter-En.app file (in the 'dist' folder that you saw) to the 'English' folder, so it's copied there. It should work if you double-click that file now, but let me know if this doesn't resolve the problem. Good luck and enjoy!
