Wasn't it a great update today? I'm hoping that WW Link will be p;ayable.
Enjoying life with an Angel :O
Wow.. why the hell does it have to be for Wii.. i HATE Wii..
im sooo good at the older version of this..
Crying out for me?
yay Ike is here ^^
so looking forward to it but it comes out in december :(
Hmm...there's lots of forums discussing this. Someone asked for one that discussed it. Here's one: http://tasogare2raito.informe.com
Though it's not centered around SSBB.
No, even though am an anime-freak, I don't want anime characters in SSB; it's a video game character game...anime would kinda spoil something about it.
But RPG characters from various nintendo consoles would really be interesting like: Sora (Chain of Memories), Various FF characters (Eg. from FF3 for the DS, FF1-6 for the GBA), More FE characters, 'Tales of' characters (like Lloyd, Sheena, Cless, Arche), and lots more.
Online and ready!
I'd love to see Lloyd and Krato f romTales of Symphonia in Brawl. Imagine Lloyd utilizing his double swords techniques and Krato with his mixture of magic and swordmanship he'd be so much different from Ike and Link.

Things that I wouldnt mind if they leave out:
The Ice climbers. did anyone ever hear about those two before this game? no. but still, Pit was left out and Kid Icarus was way, way more fun. (Which acually isnt a bad game. get it on virtual cosole. 5 bucks.)
The stupid Kirby and Yoshi Levels. do I really need to elaborate? That happy heart tree still haunts me...
give your ideas!!!
also, look up "my super smash bros. Brawl lineup." watch it, and leave ur feedback.
My idea... is that you really haven't played the game to the fullest extend, only playing with the mainstream character. Ice Climbers happens to be on of the top players in the game, and I'm quite glad they are staying. If you know how to utilize their attacks, the two Ice Climbers really make a combo.
You can say that for any sequel though. If you are a smasher you can totally tell the playing difference in the 2 games. Completely different style of thinking and approach. And they changed alot more than just more characters. The old characters got changed as well. A new engine doesn't mean its a new game. CS is the same as source just with better graphics and physics. Gameplay is completely the same. As with alot of other sequels...including zelda and FF (except 12...)
Yea, the First and 2nd game... you could really tell there's a difference, but with CS and CS:Source.. I would have to say they are... different. It's really a different gamestyle, If you go from either CS to CS:S or CS:S to CS. You won't be doing that great, ti's just different.
I can't wait..lol period....
Fly Me To Polaris
It should be here by December. Since its my sis birthday around that time she gonna buy it. (always liked the super smash bros)
Not soon but now
can't wait, but they shouldn't steal characters like naruto cuz then itd just be gay.
last login on 2/26/09<--i might forget to update this
People who say they want Sora, FF characters or any 3rd party game characters that has no link with Nintendo is totally forgeting the point of this game -_-.
NINTENDO CHARACTERS ONLY. Yes this includes Snake since the MGS creator had long ties with Nintendo in the past. The only company thats even close to having they characters in SSB is Sega.
and CS:S is CS but much easier to get headshotted.
its the shit
It's the second coming!! oh... it's just sonic...
^ I think we all knew that was coming.
WTF Arcadia? Do I know you? I'm class of 06
Brawl is delayed till Feb 10 2008

Untraceable secret credentials: trust establishment with privacy
PERSEC 2004, worshop at PerCom'04, 2nd IEEE International conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications Security, March 14-17, 2004, Orlando, USA
There is generally no a priori trust relationship among entities interacting in pervasive computing environments which makes it necessary to establish trust from scratch. This task becomes extremely challenging when it is simultaneously necessary to protect the privacy of the actors involved. This paper shows how trust can be based on previous interactions yet remain unlinkable to any previous event or any specific entity. A solution based on group blind signatures is proposed that relies on credentials both secret, meaning that they contain an encrypted description of previous interactions, and untraceable, meaning that they cannot be recognized when presented to their issuer. can prove that he was previously certified as a reliable partner by the entity he is interacting with again. After any interaction, a credential is provided in order to subsequently assert what happened in a previous relationship. When two entities interact, they can exchange one or more credentials that enable trust establishment. To ensure that a credential holder will show negative as well as positive statements, we propose to encrypt credentials so that only the issuer and some trusted relatives can open it.

A very powerful but often underestimated tool of QCAD 3 is the property editor. Time to put it into the spotlight!
Property Editor Basics
The property editor is shown at the right side of the QCAD application window after the first launch of QCAD. If you cannot see a property editor, you can show it using the menu 'View' - 'Property Editor'. Just like most other widgets in QCAD, you can dock it in any desired position, usually somewhere at the right as shown here.
As you would probably expect, the property editor displays various properties of the entities that are currently selected and allows you to change them. In the example screen at the left, a dimension entity is selected so the property editor shows all properties of this entity.
In this example, we can see, that the 'Label' property shows the value 'Auto'. This means that the label of the dimension is not explicitly set and is therefore calculated automatically. We can now for example enter a fixed label to be used instead.
Dimension Labels and Symbols
Dimension labels often contain special characters that are hard or impossible to access on a keyboard (⌀, °, ±, ...).
A right-click into the dimension label text field in the property editor shows a context menu which can be used to quickly insert commonly used symbols and formatting. Of course, you can also type these codes or symbols directly into the text field. The context menu is merely provided for convenience. The most important code is <> (less than, greater than) to use the automatically measured value in combination with a symbol or text. For example 'R<>' creates a dimension label 'R7.5' if the dimensioned radius measures 7.5 units.
Changing Multiple Entities at Once
You can also change multiple selected entities at once using the property editor. To add an 'R' in front of all radial dimension labels, simply select all radial dimensions and type 'R<>' into the value of the label property.
Filtering by Entity Type
Sometimes, selecting all radial dimensions might be a challenge, especially in large and complex drawings.
To assist with that, the property editor offers a filter at the top where you can choose to only display the properties of a certain entity type. To add an R prefix to all radial dimension entities using this feature, we can simply select the entire drawing (Select - Select All) and then limit the property editor to radial dimensions by choosing 'Radial Dimension' from the 'Selection' box at the top of the property editor.
This filter also comes in handy when reorganizing drawings. To put all texts on a separate layer called 'text', you select the whole drawing, choose the filter 'Text' in the property editor and then change the layer property. You can even move all selected texts to a new layer by clicking the plus button at the right of the layer property.

Bedbug bill requiring landlord action a priority for Manchester aldermenBy TED SIEFER
New Hampshire Union Leader
February 10. 2013 10:52PM
MANCHESTER - The Legislature is considering a bill aimed at stamping out bedbugs, one of several pieces of legislation being looked at by lawmakers that is a priority for the city's aldermen.
The bedbug bill, HB 482, is sponsored by Alderman Pat Long, who is also a state representative. Long, a member of the city task force on bedbugs, has long been involved in the issue, which has been a problem at numerous properties in the downtown area, as well as at some hotels.
Long testified before the House Judiciary Committee Thursday. He said the bill was well-received.
"What was amazing was everybody was on the same page, the tenants association, the landlords association," he said. "They realize the dire need to address the situation."
The bill would require landlords to both "investigate a tenant's report of an infestation of insects, including bedbugs, or rodents" within seven days of receiving notice from a tenant or housing code authority, and to take "reasonable measures to remediate an infestation."
The bill further states that the landlord "shall bear the reasonable costs of remediation of an infestation of bedbugs, but may recover those costs if the tenant is responsible for the infestation."
The bill was one of several aldermen discussed last Tuesday, and the bedbug bill was the only one that prompted some reservations.
Alderman Joe Kelly Levasseur said, "I'm going to abstain because I haven't read the whole thing. It's kind of like lead paint. People could already have high levels in their blood. This is pretty scary stuff."
Speaking at Tuesday's meeting, Long insisted that the bill would impose obligations on both landlords and tenants, who would be responsible for informing building owners of bedbug problems and following written instructions to remedy the problem. "This evenly puts the onus on both of them," he said.
Levasseur was joined by two aldermen, Garth Corriveau and Tom Katsiantonis, in abstaining on the vote to endorse the legislation. The rest of the aldermen voted to support the bill.
Other bills
In addition to the bedbug bill, the aldermen voted to takes positions on several bills under consideration this legislative session.
House Bill 176 and Senate Bills 36, 43, 80 would alter laws regarding property tax exemptions. The aldermen supported the blanket opposition recommended by assessing board Chairman Robert Gagne, primarily on the grounds that they would weaken local control.
Senate Bill 128 would allow municipalities to retain a greater share of the fees they collect for vital records. The aldermen are strongly backing the bill, as they did last year on similar legislation. Manchester issues 20,000 records a year, more than any other community.
Lake Massabesic
The aldermen voted to back Senate Bill 58, which would enable municipalities to enter voluntary payment agreements for watershed land they own in neighboring towns, rather than pay the full tax value for the properties.
It's an important issue for Manchester Water Works, which owns 7,500 acres of land along its Lake Massabesic reservoir in Auburn, as well as in the towns of Candia, Chester and Hooksett.
The city's annual tax bill to Auburn alone is approaching $1 million, which has prompted the Water Works to take legal steps to dispose of the land to a conservation nonprofit.
Water Works Director David Paris, who testified in Concord on SB 58 on Wednesday, told the aldermen that the bill could allow the utility to make the case that lake shore land is unfairly assessed. "Assessments speak to feature value," he said. "This shoreline on Lake Massabesic doesn't offer the feature value that's the intent of (this valuation). The bill could affect the assessed value significantly."
Paris added that the Water Works would pursue placing the land into a conservation easement and the legislation "on two fronts."
The bill received a favorable report from the Public and Municipal Affairs Committee on Wednesday.

"I Saw You" looking at the cookies
Who saw? Who was seen? Was it you?
Reply or see more "I Saw You" ads at alibi.com/personals
You entered the dining room Tuesday, Oct. 30, about 8 p.m. You were well-dressed and wearing glasses. Was it a business meeting?
As you made your way to your table, we made extended eye contact. I was with a blind date and you were a significant distraction. Then, as you were leaving, you looked my way again and waved.
This encounter has captured my imagination. I am intrigued and interested. Let's plan a rendezvous to get acquainted.
... Or at least you look like a professor. I saw you 10/26 at Gecko's with two of your buddies and then again 10/29 at Ghetto Smith's. You were looking at the cookies. I've also seen you countless times on campus with your briefcase. You're tall with a serious demeanor. I'm a female with brains and beauty. How about we get a drink sometime? We can discuss our scholarly pursuits.
Last winter I (adorable Asian girl) was delivering food from Streetfood Asia. I had no idea who it was for so I began chatting with you, Rich (hot cyclist perhaps), and your friend (David?). Since I've been of legal beer age I have yet to see you again. Join me at Tractor?
Handsome man beamed a smile at me at door of book store. I smiled back and said "hi" and walked into the store. I turned around when I got to the counter, to just catch you turning back around after looking at me. Where are you? I keep hoping I will find you in the stacks of books behind a good mystery novel. I think you have a disability, but I don't mind if you do because your face hasn't left my mind in three plus weeks. Describe yourself to me and, if it sounds like you, I will respond!

But this schoolroom is a barrel of fun with no homework required.
i love coussin de lyon, it reminds me my grand mother who was born in LyonReplyDelete
This shop is just a block down the street from our place and I still haven't gotten in there! We walked past it half a dozen times the last week, but alas...we're back home in the States tonight. Your pictures make me want to kick myself for not visiting while we could. Guess it will have to wait till October's trip.ReplyDelete
What a cute cute place..Lots of painting ops for you ..so true.ReplyDelete
Every detail is a wonderment Amy!
Just a delight
I want that entire collection of glass bottles ....even though they don't conjure up any of my childhood memories. for that, I simply drool over the black and white descriptions in the Vermont Country Store catalogue. Now I'm off to the cousin de Lyon website to investigate their very tromp l'oeil candy!ReplyDelete
It's so heartwarming to see the loves in Georges' heart truly materialized in the outside world. And that you have such a gifted eye to see and artistically share it Carol in an artistic manner...inspiring us to do and be more.
LOVE it!
Thanks so much for these posts.
I have become addicted. We were just there a month ago and caught the Fete du Pain in front of Notre Dame. A real treat for me as an amateur bread maker.
I lived in France from 91 to 96. Not in Paris but the south - old domaine near Brignoles, then finally near Aix.
Keep up the good work.
Wow, what a great idea and carried out so well!
He has really found his niche :)
Great find, Carol, and a great watercolor!
Tanks, yes it is a very dreamy placeDelete
I am so glad you went ... I told you you would love him!!
Have you ever seen a great map of France like he had ?
Where do you think is the best place to find one ?
We all miss you
Ask Georges
There's an antique map store in Passage Vivienne or try Au Petit Bonheur La Chance on rue 13, St.Paul 75003
Pure Happiness;
worth the airfare to Paris~
Ohhhh I passed by this shop last time but it was closed ! It looks soooo nice ! I love those kind of old candies shop ;)ReplyDelete

Contact: Jerry Horn 540-785-4733
As Pennsylvania voters prepare for the April 27 primary, some 1300 Catholic priests have released a statement calling for active voter participation, and echoing statements of the Catholic bishops that identify abortion as the primary issue.
The statement, coordinated by Priests for Life, quotes the bishops' 1998 document Living the Gospel of Life when it says that Catholics should "embrace their citizenship not merely as a duty and privilege, but as an opportunity meaningfully to participate in building the culture of life" (n.34).
Drawing from the bishops' 2001 Pastoral Plan for Pro-life activities, the statement also says that "among important issues involving the dignity of human life with which the Church is concerned, abortion necessarily plays a central role."
The statement also takes aim at candidates who support abortion, and states, "No public official … can responsibly advocate for or actively support direct attacks on innocent human life" (Living the Gospel of Life, n. 32).
Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, urged Pennsylvania citizens to examine closely the positions taken by the candidates on abortion. He recommended the Pennsylvania Pro-life Federation (www.paprolife.org) as a helpful source of information.
The full text of the priests' statement is at www.priestsforlife.org/elections/politicalresponsibility.htm

I should have looked at these reviews before choosing Knology. I respect the one person who said they were pleased with Knology because the company worked with them in reducing their payments. However, that doesn't fix the fact that the service is shoddy and they are SO expensive!
My husband is in the military and we are stationed in Alabama. When we arrived on base we were given a list of three providers to choose from... and the dish wasn't provided as an option. I contacted Knology and scheduled a time for them to come out and hook up our service. Because our household goods hadn't arrived we were told we had to break up the connection because cable couldn't be hooked up without a TV. I've had other providers hook up the service without a TV and when I questioned this I was rudely informed that every company has their own rules.
It took three times to my house to get all of the rooms hooked up and both of our TV's receiving cable. We received one DvR box with HD and I was excited because we have been overseas for the last four years and this was our first time having a DVR. My parents have a DVR with their satellite service and I figured all were the same... I was WRONG. Our box can hold maybe six 1 hour shows before the hard drive is full. My parents satellite DVR can hold dozens of shows! If you set a timer to record a show you have to have the TV on that channel or it won't record. My parents' DVR will change the channel automatically and record the show.
My other complaint is weekly, sometimes daily I lose service. Sometimes I lose higher numbered channels for time on end and other times the TV will go out completely with a loud static noise emitting as if everything went to fuzz. When I have contacted their office I'm told there isn't anything reported in our area.... the main office is in ATLANTA GA. I'm in AL!!!! They don't communicate with each other when work is being done and it requires 5 calls about the exact same problem to show up as a problem. The problem isn't just the cable. The modem needs to be rebooted at least once or twice a week.
In the four years we were overseas I had to reboot the modem twice.... I've had to reboot this one twice just last week. I'm tired of paying this money for a service that is shoddy at best. We are supposed to be a country of innovations.... I see this country as just money hungry greedy companies who do what they can to get every last penny they can from the consumers.
I've considered lowering our cable to basic and getting rid of the worthless DVR and HD. However, one of my favorite channels is TNT.... it's now coming in extremely fuzzy and reminds me of the reception my parents got with the old bunny ears. If I get rid of HD I lose my ability to watch TNT. I truly believe the companies create these little problems like fuzzy TV and shoddy signals so we will upgrade and have to pay more. Money hungry and pathetic customer service.
AUGUSTA, GEORGIA -- Had a late bill of $50. No disconnection letter sent and when new bill came it was disconnected. I called customer service and NO ONE tried to save the account by offering an explanation. Rude service agents and just a no care attitude.
ST PETERSBURG, FLORIDA -- Had to switch to WOW when I moved as Verizon wasn't available. My first clue, when installed they just laid the cable along side the house. Didn't bury it. When confronted said they would have someone out in 2 weeks. Misers coming next day. Upgraded my wifi then exchanged modem, still couldn't get service outside of the room. Called just this week, was told it's not them it's me and I should/could buy a modem on my own. Needless to say I'm switching back to Bright House. Done with WOW!!!
RAPID CITY, SOUTH DAKOTA -- Due to a better deal, in August 2009 I switched cable providers from Knology to the other cable provider in the area. The switch seemed to go well. At the end of August I receive a statement stating that I was to receive a refund of $10.37. I patiently watched my mail box. When the Knology letter did arrive, which was in October, it wasn't a check but a bill for another month's services. I immediately call Knology and explained to them the error and that I should be getting a refund not a bill. They agreed and told me they didn't know why I was sent a bill and said they would check into it and have someone call me back.
Two weeks later I called them back to find out if any progress has been made. Nobody knew anything about was I was talking about and had to start over. After that I started collecting case numbers. After that phone call I expected everything to be cleared up. It wasn't. Fast forward to January 2010. I received a refund check for $10.37, which was the amount of an accidental overpayment on our last bill, and a few days later a notice from a collection agency stating that I owed $781.49 for equipment that I had not returned to Knology.
First off, the only equipment that I had was a standard cable modem which would cost around $50 to purchase, and second, I have the paper receipt that says I returned all equipment. I called Knology again and was told that my case was being sent to a different department and would be cleared up and I would receive a call when it was.
Again, one week later after not receiving a phone call from Knology, I called them and it was still unclear whether or not the errors had been corrected and once again I am left with a new case number and a promised call back. The only good thing I can say is that the customer service representatives have been very polite through this whole experience.
KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE -- I had the bundled service through Knology in 2004. I called to have everything turned off except the cable internet. The following month I was charged the full amount for all 3 services. I Called Knology Customer Service and was told not to pay the bill and that they would correct the issue. I then had all the services turned off as I was moving with the military.
90 Days later I found they had placed the full overcharged amount on my credit as a collection account. I called their CS and paid the full overcharged amount to attempt to salvage my credit. All this accomplished was that it changed to a paid collection which is just as bad as the original.
I deployed to iraq in 2006 and could not continue my efforts to have this removed. I followed up with Knology in 2007 to once again attempt to remedy the issue. I eventually was told by CS that YES I did overpay the account and that they would cut me a check for the overpaid balance (which they did). I asked to have the collection account removed from my credit and was told "sorry we can't do that". I replied by saying that the issue was caused by incorrect billing and that I should not be penalized because of their error and again was told "sorry it's not our policy to remove collection accounts".
Well now I am tired of seeing this on my credit and I wrote Knology to let them know that I will be filing formal complaints with every website that will allow me to post my story. They replied saying that the account is at a 0 balance and to give them a call if I have any other issues. I KNOW THE BALANCE IS 0, I WANT THE PAID COLLECTION TAKEN OFF OF MY CREDIT!!!!
Knology has cost me thousands of dollars in interest hikes over the past 5 years because of THEIR billing and collection errors. It is unacceptable that five years later I am still suffering from Knology's careless billing practices. After doing a quick google search it appears this is a common issue with Knology.
The service, (Telephone, Cable, and Internet) is nowhere near the quality of the leading cable companies. Considering they charge just as much as their competition, there is no real benefit of selecting them over ANY other provider. So in short. I would NEVER recommend this company to anyone. STAY AWAY FROM KNOLOGY!!!!!!!!
SAINT PETERSBURG, FLORIDA -- I have had Bright House and Verizon. Knology offered similar service to BH and Verizon, but didn't try to force up-sale on me. When I know exactly what I want, I expect the representative to do just exactly that. I can understand offering an up-sale once, but don't push it or I will take my business elsewhere.
The price difference between the 3 ISP's is considerable. BH wanted $50+ per month for 10D:1U, Verizon was the same. Knology was $30 for 7D:1U. The internet only loads so fast, if you are not running a web service or downloading copious amounts of torrents, you are paying for speeds you will never use. Knology came to my house and rewired everything for FREE. No contract. $30 a month. The Knology rep's are knowledgeable, I don't have to give them a class on computers. When I call I speak to employees who SPEAK ENGLISH. Good luck with that for Verizon.
Verizon is by far the WORST customer service I have ever had to deal with. The representative had NO IDEA about internet speeds or how ISP's operate. If I go to buy a car, I DON"T WANT TO TEACH THE SALESMAN ABOUT THE CAR. Period. After the 10th time telling the guy I don't want the bundle, I just hung up. BH has good customer service and the rep's are knowledgeable, but it is priced the same as Verizon. When the weather is slightly bad... just a little, the service becomes very poor.
Now some insight for all of you throwing money away: FiOS only adds a few more feet of fiber optics, your computer DOES NOT have a FiOS port, you still use a ethernet cable to your computer or router. To browse the web you need 512k, for 1080p video streaming you need 10Mb down MAX. 7Mb down for me for a game has 144ms latency, that is 0.144 seconds. Not fast enough? If your internet slows down everyone in the neighborhood is likely slow, because of the amount of houses on each "node".
Watch your shows on the web, connect your TV to your computer, or use rabbit ears (if you don't have a lot of channels it is set up wrong) on the TV. (I get A LOT of channels, FREE, football, news, movies, no porn), metroPCS cell phone, router for Wifi. For broadband internet, 2x unlimited phones, and 50 channels of HiDef TV I pay just under $100 a month. 2 computers playing MMORPG's, downloading torrents in the background, and streaming radio, still at 0.2 seconds for latency. YOU DO NOT NEED 50 DOWN AND 25 UP.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS -- Unfortunately, I need to give a star rating because I can't give a lesser rating. I wish I could give a negative star rating. For several weeks, I have not been receiving all of my emails, having been notified of such by the senders. I call the phone number, only to be directed by "Automan" to input my phone number, for the purpose which has yet to be determined because after I finally do get to speak with a live individual, I am asked for my phone number. WHY? I already punched that in.
For the umpteenth time, I explain frustratedly that I am not getting all of my emails. I am informed that the email is a free service of Knology, as if that is an explanation for why I am not receiving emails. I have heard so many excuses over the past few weeks, with the blame being placed on everybody but Knology, with the exception of the second to last time. They informed me their server was down and all of the emails were backed up. Hence, that is the reason I received an email 6 hours after it was sent. I have been told by the General Manager that no emails have been lost. Well, if they aren't lost, they have been permanently misplaced.
I wish I had ISP options, but the only option in my area is a dish, which is equally unreliable. Here's a fervent hope that WOW will correct the abysmal service and cavalier attitude pervasive in Knology. It just pisses me off that I have to pay for wholly substandard product and service. The only thing Knology has to offer over their competition is service; and I feel I have been serviced... in much the same way a bull services a heifer. And apparently, I am in the majority of people when I discuss Knology.
SUMMERVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA -- We had Time Warner Cable since the day we moved to Summerville. After having Knology installed for our TV, Internet and Phone there are some issues that are making me rethink our switching to your service. First, as an Internet Service Provider, Knology is extremely fast - we appreciate it.
Secondly, the Cable/TV Service is OUTDATED. The search engine that Knology uses, for searching programs, was used back in late 1990s. I don't want to have to scroll through every date to find a show I want to record or watch; plus Knology only allows you to forward ONE week, and you better know the date! Plus I don't want to spend my time scrolling through a huge list... that is time consuming. With Time Warner you could look for stuff a month in advance and set it to remind or record.
Also, if I miss a program, I can pull up the search on Time Warner, key in THE NAME of the show and it will list the past shows, as well as future shows. I COULD ALSO watch past airings of shows. For example, I was out of town for 2 weeks in Alaska... when I returned I realized I didn't record the show Justified. So, I brought up the search on my Time Warner box, and it listed all the Justified showings for the month. I selected ones I missed and started watching them. This makes it so much easier and flexible because you DON'T HAVE TO RECORD every episode of a show.
As for the phone, going to Knology from Vonage, now I have to purchase a caller ID... more money spent. Right now I AM NOT a big fan of Knology and WOULD NOT recommend them over Time Warner, unless it is strictly as a price comparison. Knology service is so 1990's and this is 2012! The company really needs to update their software. I am posting my review of Knology service, I don't want people to be miss informed, like we were.
DUNEDIN, FLORIDA -- Here are the complaints I have:
1) As a woman, I find pornography disgusting, and resent having to scroll through 7 channels of pornography with titles like "** Mothers" and "Hot Dripping Hos" while attempting to find a PPV movie to watch. (Only three non-porn PPV movie channels where I live). It is demeaning. Bunch them together in another location so that your customers who are offended by porn don't have to see those titles every time they look for PPV movies. Believe me, the people who want to watch porn will FIND them.
2) There may be two or three PPV movies per month that could be called major films. Most of the selections are low-rated films that are used to fill up the PPV channels, making it seem like there is a good selection when there is not. I would be a regular customer of PPV if I could find better films.
3) NO Movies on Demand.
4) Terrible internet strength. My son is an IT person, and he said it was the worst he had seen from a cable company that provides internet.
5) Terrible company website. Certainly not professional looking or user friendly. I was on the website last month looking for future developments that might be coming, and could find nothing. I clicked on a link to check out "Bundles" and found one page with a "Buy Now" link, and it didn't even have a price quote. The website looks like it could have been developed in a high school computer lab.
6) I resent being forced to be a Knology customer, and then being forced to have sub-par selections and services. I am seriously considering moving out of my apartment when my lease is up, simply because I don't want to deal with Knology anymore.
7) I also resent that the city of Dunedin, FL named a park after Knology when they have such little regard for the sensitivity of their women customers. I do not consider this the actions of a FAMILY company.
I've never had such poor service with any kind of cable company as I have with Knology. When I moved into the apt I'm living in now, I had DISH and I had happy with it. But where I live we could only have Knology cable so I really didn't have a choice. I just assumed it would be okay though because I'd used Charter before I used DISH and it was fine. But Knology is anything but fine.
Right in the middle of a TV show, the cable will just go out. Last night I was watching a movie... It was a suspenseful movie and I was on edge just waiting to see what happened. I never got to see what happened because the cable went out. It was out for about 20 minutes. It would start going in and out but I couldn't see anything. Just snow (like back in the 70's).
Since the first day I got Knology it's been like this. As I'm writing this, the cable is acting up. It's kind of how DISH did when a storm would happen. Only there isn't a storm and I don't have anything but basic cable. I'm not giving them anymore money for a service that is so bad. And it keeps popping up "poor quality signal" on my TV... and I'm so sick of it!!!
I've called them, I've begged, I've done everything but nothing is working. They've been out here and every time they say the same thing. "It's a technical problem, someone else will have to come out". They never do. So I'm stuck. But if I had a choice, I'd change services.
If YOU have a choice, go with ANYTHING... just not Knology. You'll hate it and you'll miss most of your programing. It's overpriced and when you have the basic channels, you don't get as many as you do with other basic cable companies. The channels aren't that great. I'm so disappointed. I wouldn't want anyone to have to go through this. I'm just thankful I had the good sense to tell them I didn't want to go with their bundle.
I'd hate to know I was stuck with their Internet and their phone! Oh, I'd be without cable, Internet and phone. I might as well be living during the depression. That's what it feels like when you're with Knology. So save yourself from this... just go with another option! ANY option!

This past weekend, Jews celebrated Purim, the boisterous holiday that commemorates the escape by their forebears in Persia from certain annihilation.
The Scroll of Esther, which is read each Purim, recounts the unraveling of a genocidal plot initiated by the dyspeptic vizier Haman, who convinces his king, Ahasuerus, that a certain stiff-necked group should be expunged from his realm: "There is one nation scattered and dispersed among the nations throughout the provinces of your kingdom, whose laws are unlike those of any other nation and who do not obey the laws of the King. It is not in the King's interest to tolerate them," Haman tells Ahasuerus, according to the story. "If it please the King, let an edict be issued for their destruction."
The counterplotting of two brave and canny Jews, Mordechai and his cousin Esther (who, as it happened, was married to Ahasuerus), saves the day, and Haman ends up hanging from the rope meant for Mordechai. All's well that ends well. For a while, at least.
Leap forward with me now a couple of thousand years, from the quite possibly apocryphal past to the very real Persian present — to the corridors of power of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the latest incarnation of the Persian Empire.
The leaders of this would-be empire, just like those in the period of the Purim story, find Jews intemperate, obstinate and fit for elimination. The desire of Jews for national equality in their traditional homeland — a desire not to live, as they did for so long, at the sufferance of foreign kings — infuriates the leaders of Iran. Most everything about the Jews, in fact, seems to infuriate these leaders.
Purim seems like the appropriate moment to review some of the Islamic Republic's Haman-like attacks on Jews and their state over the past year or so. Although Iran's terrorism- support infrastructure has been preoccupied in Syria — where it is desperately trying to maintain in power the mass murderer Bashar al-Assad, Iran's only Arab ally of consequence — its Jew-targeting program is still robust.
On Feb. 5, the government of Bulgaria publicly implicated Hezbollah, Iran's Lebanon-based subsidiary, in a July bombing that killed five Israeli tourists and a Bulgarian bus driver in the city of Burgas. Operatives associated with the Quds Force, the overseas-terrorism arm of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps, have been implicated by intelligence agencies in recent attempts to kill Israelis in Thailand, India, Georgia and Azerbaijan.
On Feb. 21, in a courtroom in Cyprus, a Hezbollah operative testified that he had been ordered to track the landing times of Israeli flights and other tasks. Cypriot prosecutors think Hezbollah was attempting to stage a Bulgaria-style attack on their island. Last week, Nigerian security officials said they arrested three men for associating with Iranians in a "high profile terrorist network." The Iranians had allegedly instructed the men to gather intelligence on hotels visited by Israelis and Americans to plan attacks.
Of course, Iran is also the primary rocket supplier to both Hezbollah and Hamas, which recently launched attacks on Israeli civilian targets.
While seeking the physical elimination of Jews, the Iranian government has only deepened its rhetorical attacks. Spokesmen for the government argue that the regime isn't opposed to Jews, only to "Zionists," who, in their understanding of the term, would include the 45 percent or so of world Jewry that lives in Israel and the vast majority of Jews outside Israel who support its existence.
The attacks directed at "Zionists" aren't motivated by opposition to, say, the Israeli government's settlement policy on the West Bank, but to the idea that Jews are worthy of a state at all. Even so, the regime's credulous (or cynical) apologists in the West often argue that official Iranian opposition to Israel is motivated only by concern for the benighted Palestinians.
This is nonsense, and we have to thank — as ever — Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran's unhinged, misanthropic (and, as a bonus, Holocaust-denying) president, for proving that it is nonsense.
In a speech in August, Ahmadinejad announced that justice and freedom would only be achieved on our planet if "Zionists" were eradicated. Here is the idiosyncratically worded account of his speech from his English-language website: "Ahmadinejad said that a 'dreadful Zionist current' has been managing the key international affairs over the past 400 years and 'behind the scene of the world's main powers, media, monetary and banking centers.'"
The speech goes on to note that "people around the world have the right to enjoy justice, respect and freedom with no discrimination and exception, urging all freedom-seeking and justice-seeking nations to adopt a measure to rout the epitome of the Zionist hegemony, with the final purpose of establishing justice and freedom across the globe."
Yes, the defeat of "Zionists" would bring about the reign of freedom and justice, not just in the Middle East but also in every corner of the earth. Only an eliminationist anti-Semite would speak this way. And only an eliminationist anti-Semite would blame "Zionists" for 400 years of global misery. Zionism is a political movement that is roughly 130 years old. Before Zionism, there was simply Judaism and Jews, and these are what Ahmadinejad and the regime actually loathe. It is the official position of the president of Iran that Jews are a plague, and should thus be removed from the world. Other Iranian officials argue that Jews should at least be suppressed and returned to their traditional second-class status, if the world is to be made whole.
It is a mistake to overreact to such prejudice. But it would be a mistake, as well, to write off Purim as an enjoyable holiday about an archaic phenomenon, particularly when Haman is trying to get a nuclear weapon.

In Surah Al Fajr, Verse 4, is the last word "yasr" recited with a mufakham raa or muraqqaq raa when stopping?
Assalaamu Alaikum,
JazakumAlllahu Khairan for provding such beneficial material on Tajweed. May Allah reward you all greatly.
In Surah Al Fajr, Verse 4, is the last word "yasr" recited with a mufakham raa or muraqqaq raa when stopping? I've heard that it was muraqqaq because the original word was yasree, with a yaa after the raa,but it was omitted (a stylistic aspect of the Qur'an, like lakum deenakum wa li ya deen). But normally, stopping on a raa in this sort of situation would make it muraqqaq. Thanks for the help! JazakumAllah!
Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
The normal rule for the ra' when stopping on it, is that we look at what precedes it. If it is preceded by a fathah or dhammah or a sukoon which is preceded by a fathah or dhammah, we make tafkheem of the ra'. If it is preceded by a kasrah, or a ya' saakinah, we make tarqeeq of the ra'. This general rule is applied throughout the Qur'an.
Imam Ibn Al Jazaree mentioned in An-Nashr volume two page 110 or 111, depending on which edition that he thought that when stopping on this word, yasr, that we can stop with either tafkheem or tarqeeq, with tarqeeq preferred. In this proposal of Imam Ibn Al Jazaree, rahimahullah, he has given another possibility based on the knowledge of "sarf" or morphology, which is difficult for the majority of Muslims to understand.
Although we cannot say it is wrong to stop on this word with tarqeeq, Sheikh Ayman prefers that we stick to the general known rules for the ra' and stop on it with tafkheem, as this is easier for the student of the Qur'an to understand and apply.

Choosing the Right Law School / Re: Advice? SLU Law (1843 Scholar) vs. U of I (66% $$$)« on: July 06, 2012, 04:06:42 PM »
I am not sure if your just out of undergrad or not, but if you just finished undergrad I imagine employers are not knocking down your door to employ you. The same thing will happen when you graduate law school granted there are fewer J.D.'s than Poli-Sci majors, but nobody is going to come to you. Maybe at Harvard that happens I don't know I didn't go to Harvard, but almost every law school I'm familiar with grads are not inundated with job offers. I know the Tom Cruise movie the Firm makes it seem pretty glamorous, but that is a movie.
I have BA in Economics and MA in Accounting. I am was working for the past 4 years in finance. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to save a lot due to family situation.

Gerbera (Pink) - Plant
Description for Gerbera (Pink)
These beautiful blooms are perfect for any occasion (or for no occasion!) and for any region! Its widely recognized that sending coloured Gerbera Daisies represents different emotions, similar to what each rose colour means.
Gerberas are easy to care for, whether in a vase/pot inside, or planted/potted outside.
Gerbera flowers are popular daisies that feature large, colourful blooms. Though they re commonly sold potted as gifts, they can make wonderful additions to any flower garden. Plus, when you grow your own gerbera flowers, you ll be able to make beautiful cut flower arrangements.
Family: Asteraceae
The name of the red gerbera is native to Africa, Madagascar, South America and Tropical Asia. Also known as the African Daisy, as well as Barberton Daisy and Transvaal Daisy, its name comes from the 18 th century German naturalist, Traugot Gerber.
|Common name
|Flower colours
|Bloom time
|African Daisy, Transvaal Daisy, Barberton Daisy.
|Gerbera comes in many colors like orange,red,white,pink,yellow,rani color.
|Gerbera daisies are considered perennial flowers in warm areas and annual ones in places where winter is involved. Naturally, red gerbera daisies bloom only during springtime, but they can be found all year long in florist shops.
|Red gerbera daisies grow from 15 to 45 cm
|Easy to grow
Planting and care
Planting transplants from a garden store or nursery is the best way to plant gerbera daisy, as the plants are undependable and difficult to propagate from seed. Gerbera daisies thrive in well-drained soil improved by the addition of 2 to 3 inches of compost or manure.
While the plants tolerate full sunlight, they perform at their best when exposed to morning sunlight and afternoon shade. When planting gerberas, ensure the crown of the plant - the point where the main stem joins the roots - is planted about 1 inch above the surface of the soil. This step is critical as gerberas tend to suffocate if the crown is buried.
|Place your gerberas in a sunny windowsill where they can get approximately six hours of sunlight per day. Find a semi-shaded area outside if you are growing them outdoors - a shaded patio or veranda is ideal.
|Check the soil of the site. If it is heavy or clay-like, you will need to amend it with compost, peat moss and sand. Gerbera flowers grow best in areas with slightly sandy, well-drained soil. Once you ve amended the soil, dig holes for your gerbera plants that are about a foot apart. These holes should be twice as wide as the flower s original container but no deeper.
Planting any part of the gerbera s stem can cause the flower to rot. After planting the flowers, pack in the remaining soil firmly and water thoroughly.
|Water thoroughly, then allow top 1 inch (2.5 cm) to dry out between watering.
|Cool to average 55-75F/13-24C.
|Feed every 2 weeks while in bloom with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted by half.
Caring for Gerbera
- Make sure your red gerbera daisies are watered properly.
- Leave time for the soil to dry before you water them again, keep the soil moist, not too wet.
- Also, remove any dead head immediately after you notice it, as new blooms should be encouraged.
- Place your gerberas in a sunny windowsill where they can get approximately six hours of sunlight per day.
- Find a semi-shaded area outside if you are growing them outdoors -- a shaded patio or veranda is ideal.
- Expose your gerberas to average local temperatures.
- Avoid temperatures above 70 degrees Fahrenheit, if possible, since heat may cause your gerberas to stop blooming.
- If you can t provide your gerberas with a shaded outdoor area, move them indoors during the hottest hours of the day.
- Water your gerbera plants in the morning.
- Avoid wetting the flowers -- moisten the soil that the pants grow in.
- Allow the soil to dry before watering again.
- Avoid over watering your gerberas as this may trigger poor flower growth and root or crown rot.
- Fertilize your gerberas every other week during the spring and summer flowering period.
- Use a water-soluble fertilizer that s rich in potassium and phosphorous.
- Mist the leaves of your gerbera plants with water at least once a week to increase the humidity and prevent red spider mites.
- Remove old, discoloured leaves and faded flowers and stems to maintain your gerbera plants, prevent fungus infections and to encourage new growth.

By JEREMIAH SHELOR | The Exponent Telegram
PHILIPPI, W.Va. (AP) — According to Kathy Rose, it was on a buck hunt that her husband John first got the idea for their deer farm.
That day John Rose bagged a buck so big, it was the stuff of legend.
"People were coming to see it for miles," Kathy Rose said.
Kathy Rose has the buck mounted on the wall of her log cabin, which sits overlooking her Philippi farm. Seeing the buck there, with its strong neck and coal-black eyes, it's easy to picture how John Rose might've felt inspired when he encountered the creature in the wild.
An avid hunter, John Rose had met nearly every challenge the sport has to offer. But after this particular hunting trip, he thought up a new challenge of a very different sort.
He knew how to hunt deer. Now he would try to nurture them.
"That was a challenge, just to see how big a buck he could raise," Kathy Rose said. "People thought he was crazy."
John and Kathy Rose started raising deer in 2004, building several pens with 10-foot-tall fencing on their 100-acre property. The farm now boasts 39 white-tailed deer and five elk.
On a recent afternoon, Kathy Rose called out to each of her deer by name as she brought them their daily meal of apple slices and corn. One doe that had been lying in the grass got up and stretched at the sound of her voice.
Kathy Rose said the deer on her farm are completely tame; they have never lived in the wild, nor will they. Still, deer are cautious creatures by nature and wary of strangers.
But to these deer, Kathy Rose was clearly no stranger. One buck even inched close enough to nip an apple slice from her hand.
Kathy Rose said she wasn't always so involved in the farm and that she gradually took on more of the day-to-day responsibilities.
"(John) got me hooked by asking me to bottle feed fawns," she said. "Who's going to say no looking at those little fawns?"
Now Kathy Rose does everything. Her husband passed away on Oct. 30, 2012, after he was struck by a fallen tree limb during the snowstorm caused by Hurricane Sandy.
They were out on the ATV feeding the elk. When their vehicle got stuck in the snow, John Rose told his wife to walk ahead without him.
"'Just walk to the top of the hill.' That was the last thing he said to me. 'Walk to the top of the hill,'" Kathy Rose said.
After waiting for him to pick her up, Kathy Rose walked back to find her husband's body.
Though she now has to run the farm by herself, Kathy Rose said she has no interest in selling or giving up.
"I'm trying to keep the farm going, because it was his dream," she said. "I want to see it through and see what happens."
But regulatory obstacles currently stand in the way of Kathy Rose and other deer farms in the state of West Virginia.
Currently, deer farms fall under the jurisdiction of the state's Division of Natural Resources. This means deer farms have different restrictions, deer farmers can't sell their venison, for example, compared to farms raising more traditional livestock.
Walt Helmick, the commissioner of West Virginia's Department of Agriculture, said he wants to see deer farms regulated in a manner similar to other forms of agriculture.
"We want to monitor and promote that industry through the Department of Agriculture," Helmick said. "We feel that we can create a significant number of jobs, that we can do something that fits the tradition of West Virginia."
Helmick pointed to Pennsylvania's deer farming industry as an example. Pennsylvania, he said, has around 1,000 deer farms, making $75-85 million annually.
West Virginia, he said, has about 35 deer farms.
"We take that number, 35, and look at the possibility of growing it, but we have to be able to promote the product. We have to be able to sell venison, which we cannot now do," Helmick said.
Helmick said he has confidence that a resolution to place deer farms under the oversight of the Department of Agriculture, which he said will go to the state Legislature in January, will bring some closure to a much debated issue.
"I think this is the year for it to pass," Helmick said. "I think we have the votes."
In the meantime, Kathy Rose will continue caring for her deer, optimistic for the future.
She set up a memorial fund in her husband's name, which she hopes will raise money to help educate others about the potential for the deer farming industry to grow in the region and in the state.
As an alternative livestock, Kathy Rose said, deer offer a unique opportunity for West Virginia landowners.
"You can take unclaimed land that you can't do anything with and put a deer pen on it," she said. "Anything traditional livestock couldn't exist on, a deer can."
Kathy Rose said that, before his death, her husband lobbied aggressively for the expansion of deer farming in West Virginia.
And even though it's clear she would rather name fawns than argue for legislation, it seems that in her husband's absence, Kathy Rose will continue to champion his cause.
A point John Rose made often: There are restaurants in the state that sell venison, only it's imported from outside West Virginia.
"Why can't we tap into that?" Kathy Rose said. "We've got the resources right here."

It's Poetry Friday again. Okay - it's still Thursday as I write this - but lately it seems people have been linking in earlier and earlier so I figured I'd be ready.
The round-up is here today. And we shall gather and enjoy fine poetry together.
In order to get us all in the Poetry Friday mood, I've selected this poem as my entry this week:
Still I Love to Rhyme
by Robert Louis Stevenson
Still I love to rhyme, and still more, rhyming, to wander
Far from the commoner way;
Old-time trills and falls by the brook-side still do I ponder,
Dreaming to-morrow to-day.
Come here, come, revive me, Sun-God, teach me, Apollo,
Measures descanted before;
Since I ancient verses, I emulous follow,
Prints in the marbles of yore.
Still strange, strange, they sound in old-young raiment invested,
Songs for the brain to forget -
Young song-birds elate to grave old temples benested
Piping and chirruping yet.
Thoughts? No thought has yet unskilled attempted to flutter
Trammelled so vilely in verse;

The North Dakota Game and Fish Department will conduct the 2013 deer gun lottery the last week in July.
Licensing manager Randy Meissner said several thousand paper applications need to be entered into the system before the lottery is held.
"In the past we were able to run the lottery once all regular gun applications were entered, but with the new law it looks like the end of July will now become the normal time period for holding the deer lottery," Meissner said.
The 2013 state legislature passed a law that requires gratis applicants interested in receiving an any-legal-deer license to submit the application before the regular lottery application deadline.
"Therefore, both regular gun and gratis applications submitted by paper have to be entered manually before the lottery can be run," Meissner said.
Applicants who applied online and submitted an email address will receive notification once the drawing has been held. Others can access the Game and Fish Department's website at gf.nd.gov to find individual results, or to sign up for email/text alerts.

Several studies show that moderate levels of physical activity, combined with losing weight, can prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes. But, even when you are not able to lose as much weight as you would like, just staying physically active can help to prevent the disease. This seems to be true for both men and women, regardless of ethnicity or race.
That is a huge incentive for millions of Americans whose bodies do not use sugar – also called "glucose" - normally. They may be on the brink of developing diabetes and, sooner or later, the health problems that result.
You can fight diabetes by being active! Learn why exercise is so important to living a diabetes-free life!
And, you do not have to exercise until you drop! Moderate exercise such as brisk walking reduces your risk of type 2 diabetes. Even modest changes in exercise once or twice a day can reduce diabetes risk by as much as 46 percent - or nearly in half! For example, "modest" changes could be adding:
Make sure, however, to start slowly. Gradually increase how long and how hard you exercise.
If you are an adult at high risk for developing type 2 diabetes, you should get at least 2.5 hours each week of moderate to vigorous aerobic physical activity. This is typically 30 minutes a day for 5 or more days each week.
Aerobic exercise is activity that is low intensity for a period of 15 to 20 minutes or longer. During this time, you keep your heart rate at 60-80 percent of your maximum heart rate. Examples of aerobic exercise include:
"Moderate" exercise means you are working hard enough to raise your heart rate and break a sweat. Moderate level activities are:
"Vigorous" exercise means you are breathing hard and fast, and your heart rate has gone up a lot. If you are exercising at this level, you will not be able to say more than a few words without pausing for a breath. Vigorous level activities are:
Children and adolescents are encouraged to do at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day. They should also limit time they spend in front of a TV, computer, or playing video games to less than 60 minutes each day.
For pregnant women, higher levels of physical activity may reduce the risk of developing gestational diabetes during pregnancy. Unless they have medical or pregnancy-related complications, pregnant women should engage in 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity, such as brisk walking, on most days of the week.
Many research studies are underway to help us learn about preventing diabetes. Would you like to find out more about being part of this exciting research? Please visit the following links:

Housing in SF: Mayor Lee Highlights Housing Progress
Mayor Edwin M. Lee today at the grand opening of the Rene Cazenave Apartments, highlighted the City's progress toward his ambitious housing goal of bringing 30,000 new and rehabilitated homes to the City by 2020, with at least one-third of those permanently affordable, and the majority within financial reach of the middle class. In the first quarter of 2014, 2,123 housing units opened to provide new homes to families in San Francisco, with 24 percent of those units permanently affordable to low-income households.
"We are making great progress toward our ambitious 2020 housing goals and our pledge to make San Francisco a City for the 100 percent," said Mayor Lee. "With more than 2,000 homes completed for residents in the first quarter of 2014, we are well ahead of our annual goal of completing 5,000 units a year. And by continuing to prioritize housing projects such as the Rene Cazenave Apartments, we are delivering on our pledge to help San Francisco families and residents from all levels of the economic spectrum call San Francisco home."

***1/2 (out of four)
Pretend for a moment that "Bridesmaids" never existed. You'd totally go for a hilarious comedy about bridesmaids, right?
OK, now remember that "Bridesmaids" existed. Guess what: "Bachelorette" is funnier. The new movie, based on writer-director Leslye Headland's play written well before the Kristen Wiig flick became one of 2011's big stories, may lose some originality points but easily compensates with laughs. So many laughs.
I watched a stream of "Bachelorette" (which recently hit No. 1 on the iTunes on-demand chart, something that had never been done by a movie before it was released in theaters) at the office, and I'm shocked no one around me asked what I was watching. I don't normally sit at my desk and just randomly crack up every 30 seconds.
If we're going by their high school names, "Bachelorette" tells the story of Bitch Face (Kirsten Dunst), Twat (Isla Fisher) and Slut (Lizzy Caplan), the maid of honor and two bridesmaids, respectively, for Pig Face (Rebel Wilson of, yes, "Bridesmaids"). The women, actually named Regan, Katie, Gena and Becky, may not want people to call them by their nicknames anymore. Yet as Regan, Katie and Gena accidentally destroy Becky's wedding dress during a stunt that shows how much they've enjoyed feeling superior to their overweight friend all these years, "Bachelorette" touches on lingering insecurities and the familiar but still-ripe notion of feeling resentful toward friends and yourself.
That resentment is blame for a defiant adulthood that hasn't turned out as happily as expected—though the ladies get things going to varying degrees with groomsmen played by James Marsden, Adam Scott and Kyle Bornheimer. The sharp-edged jokes help re-invigorate the concept of a movie about the wild night. Ultimately this one's a story about the things we do to make ourselves feel better, even when we know they're wrong.
Big message/relationship insights/yadda yadda. "Bachelorette," which does over-rely on pop culture references, wouldn't stick if it weren't hilarious. (It's also funnier than both "Hangover" movies combined, by the way.) I could list dozens of fantastic lines, often shot like poison darts, but that would deplete the spark that comes from a script this quick and unexpected.
"I just realized that the guy I slept with sucks," mutters Gena, Caplan's dryness perfectly timed to Gena putting on the guy's Jack Johnson T-shirt. "I gotta take this; it's work," says Katie, explaining why she has to pick up the phone—despite the fact that she's actually at work.
OK, just wanted to mention those, which of course better connect when delivered to perfection by the standouts of the phenomenal cast. The rest are yours to enjoy.

We <tBANNERr> Uo^k 1« 1Q7T Dona 1 ^^WH^MB**^ March 25, 1977 Page 1 Forensics earn funds for Nationals 'The dream of CBC being able tp go to Nationals when other schools aren't going. . .has now become an answered prayer. Since the beginning, CBC has been a school of hopes, dreams, answered prayers, and miracles. It's exciting that the CBC speech team is able to add one more special miracle to our witness to the world." "Knowing that in the Christian life we should always strive to reach a higher mark and not just be satisfied with reaching what we have striven for, the speech team is now praying for another miracle." Don't they ever give up? It would seem not. Having just two members on the forensics team in September didn't deter them. (To date, 25 people have competed for CBC in speech tournaments.) Neither did a lack of funds deter them. "At the beginning of the year, at our first speech meeting, we said, 'We'regoingtoGeorgeMason University (location of national competition).' The reason we knew this was because God had sent us Ron Nash, who had attended George Mason the year before. Clinging to that indication of God's will in our lives, we chose to pray and direct our efforts to attaining that dream." "And that's just what it was—a dream. No one had qualified for Nationals. The majority of the members had never competed. We almost didn't have a speech team this year. We prayed that the Lord would send us the right people, those who desired to work." Even with hard-working people, last week only six competitors could have gone to Fairfax, Virginia, with the available funds. "There wasn't enough money." No money had been set aside in the school budget for the costs of sending the team to Nationals. Solution? "The team members forfeited their scholarships and the school turned scholarship money into cash. It was a really big thing for them to do!" To the $2,000 from the school, the forensics team added $700 raised from "AChristian's Imagination Should Fly Beyond The Stars," bake sales, and individual donations. Two team members will pay their own ways. This total will enable 10 members of our forensics team toattend the competition. Thanks go to Pat McGrew for "helping and encouraging" the team in their efforts to raise the sum. "Mr. McGrew wanted us to go as much as we did." "We have a ministry through forensics. Our goal is to be jtfst that; anything else is cream off the top!" Curtis O'Brien serves as chaplain and the group hopes to learn five scripture verses weekly before t n e i r departure (April 18th). The team members that will remain behind will minister to the departing members until their departure. A team member who is going to Virginia says, "We're like missionaries." "In the course of our witness one person has been led to Christ and the changes in all the other lives can really only be speculated on because ofthe smiles of friendship we receive from our fellow competitors." "Missionaries" include Mrs. Hokett, Gary Cogill, Alma Rhoades, Ron Nash, Bob Shipley, Sherri Erkes, Carla Pudwill, Roy Ronveaux, Dan Jones, and Jack Bracy. Helping to prepare the team (while they work out arrangements for classes and assignments to be missed) are Joan Gibson and Pari Rickard (working on a news analysis file for exempt and impromptu), Angie Wahl (coaching persuasive), Dave Auda, Tami Young, Debbie Sims and Curtis O'Brien are also helping to critique oral interpretation and any other events that need help/encouragement. 'The exciting thing about the team is the love that is develop- Androcles and the Lion March 24-26 BOL admission: $1 time: 8:00 ing, evidenced in personal sacrifices of time and effort given to really pull togethera great team . . . One special thing about love—when you allow yourself to fully give it, it never dies. Love goes from one person to the next, just as God gives it to us. Christ's love is reflected in us--it's exciting to know that CBC is reflecting." The theme ofthe speech team's best fund-raiser was "A Christian's Imagination Should Fly Beyond The Stars." 'That's just what happened this year with our speech team because we've allowed our imaginations to "fly beyond the stars." "We have a great big God. . . We're out to change our world." The team is still trying to raise money to help defray the cost to those members who paid their own ways. Ideas and contributions are welcome--just let a member of the team know. Oh, the special miracle still left to happen? Since they'll be in the neighborhood, the team would like to drop in on our President.
