Rated 3 out of 5 by Greatgrandma Unreliable size chart
I am 6' tall and weigh 245, so that put me in the Size E column. However, the size chart does not take into account that all my weight is in my hips/butt and the circumference of that area is 58". (Yes, I have skinny arms and legs.) I hope this is helpful to customers and also to the Spanx company so that they can re-think this particular size chart.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lorraine13 These high power spanx are great
I have bought similar products to these Spanx, none have given me the smooth fit under clothing like Spanx does. Also, I was at least an entire size smaller in my dress. I was able to actually breathe while wearing these high power Spanx they were so comfortable. I danced all night and they never rolled down or rolled up. Stayed in place. I highly recommend these to anyone who wants a smooth look while wittling off a few pounds.

Rated 5 out of 5 by mwelling First time trying Spanx... Will buy again!
I've been trying off brand shape wear off and on for years now. I just couldn't bring myself to spend the money on Spanx. I finally broke down and bought Spanx a few weeks ago trying to look my best for a job interview. I am very pleased with the product. Other's I've bought based on the size I wear seem to roll and bunch up. I haven't been satisfied overall with other products I've bought. The Spanx products I purchased stayed true to size and stayed in place. After several uses, there are no runs, rips, or tears and they continue to stay in place. Overall I am very pleased with the product and don't think I will go back to off brand products. It's well worth the money.

Rated 1 out of 5 by agr22084 Too small for the correct ht and wt.
I am 5'4"/130 lbs and choose size B according to the chart. They would not even go over my thighs. Way too small, so returned.

Rated 3 out of 5 by JSpain51 Disappointed
The overall fit was great. Very disappointed in the "cotton double gusset." Did not realize the double cotton gusset was open. Do not like it. Especially not for us heavier gals. Not comfortable at all. Thought it would be like a "high-waisted Power Panty," but not the case. Am returning the unused garments from my order.
Wish Spanx would make a high-waisted Power Panty with a regular cotton gusset.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Lisa48 Overall I am happy with it
This is the first Spanx I have bought, for the most part I like it, it fits, is pretty comfortable for this type of garment and does a pretty good job of smoothing things out. It was a little tough getting used to having something that went right up under your bust and made it hard to go to the bathroom for me cause I am just not comfy with the "escape hatch thing" for lack of a better term LOL
March 27, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by HappyLoser Surprisingly comfortable
I had almost given up on firming garments; but, after losing 150 pounds, I had to do something. I still have another 50 to go, so I'm not ready for a tummy tuck. Smooths me out nicely. It didn't roll down, but rolled up the thigh just enough to pinch. a little after a couple of hours.

Really nice faucet. Lovely quality. Purchased two for a double vanity. Would purchase again. But do check yours when it arrives--whether this version or some other. I've purchased six faucets from Overstock (all different kinds for different bathrooms) and two were not operable. Overstock is wonderful about returns and exchanges . . . but it's important you check the item in a timely manner.
I loved this faucet! Easy to put in, looks great, excellent quality. All around great buy. I was again, more than pleased with the prodcut and O.com
Love, love, love them. I purchased two sets of the American Patriot Oil Rubbed Bronze Widespread faucet sets for a double bowl in my bathroom. Everyone that sees them absolutely loves them. They work great. Would recommend them ot all.
I love this faucet. It's beautiful and really helps bring my new bathroom together. I'm using it with a granite sink top with trough sink and cherry vanity. One thing you should know -- the flow regulator is insane. There's one tiny hole about the size of a medium nail for the water to go through. You'll probably find that you need to take the end of the faucet off, pop off the red plastic flow diverter, remove the metal piece inside, and simply place the white plastic piece and the black rubber washer back in the faucet. Otherwise, there's just not enough water flow.
Nice product,installed easily except there was a lot of clearance between the holes in the sink top and the stems of the faucet, it took a little effort to get things all lined up, but I assume most faucets would be the same. The horizontal portion of the faucet swivels. There were vinyl tubes that connect the center section to the 2 valves that had kinked in the box due to the way they were packaged, but they seem to work fine. These same tubes have quick connect fittings on the ends that make it easy to install, but not quite as robust as I would like to see. It doesn't come with hoses to connect to the hot and cold supply, but didn't really expect that. I thought the finish was superior to what we found at local home improvement stores. Looked more authentic, one solid color, no brush marks revealing orange undertones. Much more satisfied with this than what we would have settled for buying locally.
Was more than please, the bronze faucet was well packed, delivered on time, very heavy, much more than I was expecting. Looks great in the bathroom with the new sick and granite counter top. Would order this item again.
Great oil rubbed bronze faucet. Color is perfect as it has warm undertones, not the very matte, black finish one finds on some oil rubbed bronze items. Plumber thought I'd paid several times more for this than I did. Only installed a month ago, but so far, so good!
I purchased three of these faucets for two bathrooms, and they are fantastic - especially for the price. They are easy to install and very durable. In fact, the spout moves from side-to-side - thus allowing you to not be concerned with having it straight when installing. The faucets came with extra clips where the waters lines connect, as it appears you would probably damage them if you were to ever remove them. I just ordered another one for a bath we are currently installing in the basement. Great product, good price, and it doesn't look like one from the big box stores.
This faucet is a beautiful, quality, item at a very reasonable price.
This set is beautiful. It arrived exactly as described. The order arrived so quickly as well. Can't wait to get it put on our sink!

Want to understand your faith better in 2012? - Learn via the Internet with others in the diocese.
For many, Christian understanding and maturity come through prayer, worship, Bible-reading, listening to sermons and by living what they believe. Well-designed courses are valuable too but not always easy to find. So early next year, the Lay Development Team is promoting two unusual events in which anyone, anywhere, can participate… without the cost and stress of winter travel.
All you need is an Internet connection and the basic computer skills you'd need to visit a website or send an email. It's highly interactive and relational. You ponder new material, form your opinions, share them with others in a variety of ways and listen to others' views – a bit like a slow motion discussion group. Plus, the time you put in (perhaps 2-3 hours per week in bits and pieces) can be whenever is convenient to you and wherever is best – home, office, library, mobile iPad… This is anywhere, anytime learning!
Two courses are on offer: Knowing Jesus and Knowing the Father. Designed for 'growing Christians' by a team including Steve Croft (now Bishop of Sheffield) and Stephen Cottrell (now Bishop of Chelmsford), the pedigree is good. And, as Jesus gently taught the two disciples on the Emmaus road (Luke 24.13-35), the idea is of a learning journey, with other learners, with a guide (a tutor who 'walks' with you), and with God.
Knowing Jesus covers the topics 'Who is Jesus?'; 'What did Jesus teach?' 'Why did Jesus die?' and 'The difference Jesus makes'. The units in Knowing the Father are 'God, the Father of creation'; God, the Father of Jesus'; 'God, the Father of the kingdom'; and 'God, the Holy Trinity'. Both courses are free and start in January with an optional face-to-face meeting. Eight learning weeks plus a half-term break will take you more or less to the end of Lent: a splendid devotion (and you could participate on-line as a local group, too).

It's pretty obvious now, he is fired.
We joined the dots pretty fast on this one, it's gotta be said.
The red flag was Artie's "going threw some changes", when he said that I knew somebody was going, never really thought it would be Nick though.
My guess is Directv felt they weren't miking Artie enough, Artie's the bigger name, why not have the "The Artie Lange Show".

Lovely rich amethyst colour beautifully set off by the brushed gold finish. I would have rated these exceptional but the drop is a little shorter than I like.

If you want to assure a healthy cash flow and solid business plan, you have to keep consumers, well, consuming all year round.
Many sectors are pushing themselves outside of their comfort zones with PR, marketing and social media campaigns... and are stealing a proverbial march.
Why would you stroke egos with tons of "yes" when what everyone needs to hear is a tactful yet emphatic "no?"
A truly unique USP gives you the potential to open a new category in an existing brand - where you become the market leader.
There is just too much evidence to indicate that plain old luck has a great deal to do with success.

Promotional Umbrellas, Logo Umbrellas, and Custom Umbrellas
Even vacations throw unpredictable circumstances toward tourists. USimprints bears this in mind with promotional items ready to work when unexpected situations arise. Promotional umbrellas will provide relief from a temporary storm or rain shower when your clients and colleagues are engaging in travel activities. The weather will cease to be a problem with these promotional products designed for your business friends to prepare themselves when that rapidly moving front comes through with all sorts of adverse precipitation. Allow logo umbrellas to come through when the rain starts to fall, a salute to the way your organization takes care of those affiliated with you no matter how far away they intend to travel. These promotional outdoor products provide your clients and colleagues with the necessary equipment to withstand any impediment their journeys may face. Imprint your logo on our large selection of discount promotional umbrellas. We have hundreds of low cost choices for imprinted umbrellas. These are perfect promotional products for golf tournaments or other giveaways. Our friendly customer service will help you order these logo umbrellas.
When people typically think of rain, they think of gloom, no sun and gray skies, not to mention a terrible time for travel. That attitude towards unpleasant weather can be changed with the help of promotional items through USimprints. Custom travel umbrellas can help your business friends beat the rain with these promotional products designed to get the best of out of the worst possible traveling weather each time such circumstances allow. Exercising caution while in a foreign location is critical for safety and logo umbrellas are the beginning of such awareness. Imprint your custom logo on these umbrellas to show your clients and colleagues the rain should not dampen their vacation plans.
The importance of promotional umbrellas was originally determined by the climates, precipitation and locations of certain countries. Wet climates found umbrellas to be useful for protecting themselves against heavy rains of the seasons where flooding was a common occurrence. China was the first country to implement the umbrella as a rain-blocking device. As its popularity continued, custom umbrellas would soon become fashion symbols in Europe and in the United States. Umbrellas continued to be implemented in various situations, including ones in which tourists have no previous knowledge of the weather patterns of the destinations they are attending, leading all the way up to the functions for which these promotional items are used today.
Custom travel umbrellas provide your clients and colleagues with sufficient ways of getting where they need to go in adverse conditions while away from home. They may become stranded roadside in the rain while using a rental car and these promotional products give them the ability to comfortably wait until their plans get back on track. With this kind of effectiveness in mind, companies now have the opportunity to take advantage of these promotional items by branding their respective custom logos on the surface to remind their business friend a little bad weather cannot spoil an entire getaway. With the ability to shield travelers on all sides, promotional umbrellas have saved business trips and personal vacations worldwide.
Use the influence of promotional products to show your corporate community you are not afraid of bad weather on either extremes and they should not be either. Custom umbrellas are available in a variety of sizes and colors so you can choose those special designs that will greatly emphasize your company image to the public. These logo umbrellas are built to last through any day where your traveling plans may get put on hold, whether it is the brief torrential downpour, the day-long steady rain unwilling to stop even for a moment or the day when the sun makes the temperature feel a few degrees hotter than normal. The benefits of implementing promotional umbrellas are apparent through these widely varied weather instances and your company can be assured they will be used many times by those closest to your business whenever they take to the road, water or sky for those destinations where the weather is not perfect at times. Have the power to drive through less than beautiful conditions with custom umbrellas from USimprints. Be sure to check out our promotional rain gauges as well!

I love fall!!! I love the crisp cool air, the warm soups, and the apples!! I really love the apples. So today I want to talk about apples. Did you know that apples are part of the rose family of plants? They originated in Asia and were brought to the US by early settlers. In ancient stories and mythology apples often gets a bad rep. It is considered the "forbidden fruit". Now you may be thinking "Of course it's forbidden, it's the fruit from Adam and Eve." Actually it is Assumed that Adam and Eve ate an apple. The Bible never mentions what type of fruit they ate. Really, it doesn't. Seriously look it up, I'll wait. . . . . . . told ya!
Apples are a staple of fall. Yes, you can get them year round, but getting something in season is always better. Today I want to make apple filling, apple cake, and rice pudding. But first let's talk about coring apples. If you are like me you have one of those fancy schmancy apple corers. I have one and I have tried to use it, but it never works quite right for me. Sometimes it doesn't get all of the core, sometimes it kills the apple and sometimes I struggle to get the thing pushed down the whole way. Using a corer always takes me longer than using a knife. So for anyone out there who is like me "Apple Corer Challenged" ACC for short. Here is how I core apples in three easy steps.
1.With the apple standing up, (peel your apples first if
the recipe call for it.) place your knife about 1/2"
away from the stem. Cut away "half" of the apple.
2.Spin the apple around and do the same thing on the
other side. Again your knife should be about 1/2"
away from the stem.
3.You should now have two end pieces. Cut them
both always keeping your knife 1/2" from the stem.
This is by far the easiest way that I have found. This method is also the fastest way when you are cutting a lot of fruit. Now that we have gotten our apples prepped, let's bake!!
Mama Cocoa
Apple Pie Filling
6 Firm tart baking apples
1/2 cup apple juice
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 Tbs Corn Starch
Spices (When adding spices to an apple filling do it to your personal taste preferences. I like mine a little spicy these are the amounts I add. Make sure you adjust to your own taste.)
1 TBS Cinnamon
1 tsp Nutmeg
1 tsp Ginger
1/4 tsp Ground Cloves
Pinch of salt
1. Combine the apple juice, 1/2 cup sugar and the butter in a sauce pan and heat until melted. Add the apples and cook until fruit is tender.
2. Combine 1/4 cup of the sugar with the cornstarch. Stir into the fruit mixture, then cook until thickened.
I use this filling everywhere. In my oatmeal, my yogurt, on a slice of pound cake, and as a topping for ice cream or rice pudding. Oh yeah, you can also use this filling for apple pie!
One of my favorite fall/winter treats is rice pudding. Rice pudding is delicious!! And if your only memories of rice pudding is something from the deli case or that mess they served in your school cafeteria, please try it again. Rice pudding can be served warm or cold, try both ways if you are reacquainting yourself with rice pudding. I prefer my rice pudding warm. This recipe reheats nicely. Rice pudding is easy to make but it does have a long cooking time. The good news is you don't have to baby sit it while it cooks. Stir it every 10 -15 minutes and it is fine.
Cinnamon Rice Pudding
1/2 cup Arborio Rice (Arborio is the starchy short grain rice that is used in risotto. Yes, you can use regular rice but the pudding won't be as thick and creamy)
3 cups Milk
1 cup Cream
1/4 cup Sugar
1 TBS Vanilla
2 Cinnamon sticks (You want to use the actual sticks not ground cinnamon. Check in the back of your spice cabinet, everyone has cinnamon sticks hidden back there.)
1. But everything in a pot, stir and bring to a boil.
2. Lower the heat (very low) and let mix simmer stirring every 10 -15 minutes, for about an hour to an hour and a half. The whole house should smell amazing and the rice should be tender. Eat the pudding as is, top with the apple filling. Just enjoy and welcome back to the wonderful world of rice pudding.
One of my other favorite fall things is lazy mornings and slow afternoons. I love to snuggle up with a warm drink, a piece of cake and a good book. I make this apple cake in advance. It freezes well, not that there is a lot left to freeze.
Apple Bundt Cake
3 cups Flour
3 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
3/4 cups Sugar
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
1 cup Oil (veggie or canola, never tried olive oil. If you try it let me know how it works)
1/4 cup Orange Juice
1 Tbs Vanilla
4 Eggs
3 cups Apples (peeled, cored and diced)
1 Tbs Sugar
2 tsp Cinnamon
1/8 tsp Ginger (optional)
1. Beat both sugars, oil, o.j., vanilla and the eggs until smooth.
2. In separate bowl combine flour, powder, and salt.
3. Mix dry ingredients into wet batter.
4. In another separate bowl (I know it's a lot of bowls, but trust me it's worth it)
combine the apples, sugar and spices.
5. Fold the apple mix into the batter and bake at 325 for about 50 minutes to an hour.
I usually sprinkle this cake with a combo of cinnamon and powered sugar and voila!

As an ACC, I finally broke down and bought one of those Rube Goldbergesque peeler-corer rigs you clamp to your countertop. It is great for the kind of volume apple production we do in the fall (with a husband from Rochester, NY!) and is by far the most entertaining gadget in our kitchen : )
Will definitely drag it out to try your filling recipe, Tamarra!

Tyler Man Arrested, Charged With Continuous Sexual Abuse Of Young Children
A Tyler man was arrested on Friday and charged with continuous sexual abuse of young children after a 9-year-old female victim reported that she and several of her friends of the same age had been sexually assaulted, according to a press release from the Tyler Police Department.
The police responded to Shiloh Pines, a mobile home park at 2525 Shiloh Road, to investigate the sexual assault of a child. Thomas Harold George Brookbank, 21, is being held in the Smith County Jail on a $750,000 bond, the release stated.
The victim stated that the assaults had occurred in a wooded area, where the suspect known as "Tom" had made a club house, inside the mobile home park on numerous occasions over the past month, according to the release.
Investigators were called to the scene and were able to obtain evidence to secure an arrest warrant for the suspect.
This case is still under investigation with five children having been identified as victims thus far. If anyone has further information about this case please contact the Detective Dianne Brown with the Tyler Police Department at 903-533-1880.

Guys i have a big perdicament. am planning on getting a new board come april/may and i have been seriously considering a 5'10" dominator. i use to have a 6'4" short board, but i couldnt catch waves unless it was chest high surf. i now have a 7' hybrid that i can catch waves all day long with, but cant manuver it worth a damn. i am 32yrs old 5'9" 180lbs. I live on the west coast of Florida and get wet once a month or so. the waves arent all that great even durring tropical surf. a great day would be 1-2' over head( not often at all) usually 1-4' on average.
My problem is of course i dont want to spend $600-$700 on a board that i wont love. that i cant catch waves with or cant manuver. i was truly thinking that the dom would be the board for me, but now a POTATONATOR. this board looks sick. will it catch chitty waves? will the dom catch chitty waves? which will catch waves better? do i go shorter than i have ever had befoe? (6'4" this board sucked). i am afrade to go small and not be able to catch waves or go to big and not be able to manuver my board.
I have lived in or by the water my whole life and i love surfing. i would like to consider myself a intermedate surfer, but i dont get in the water enough to be good any more, especialy now that im older and fater. So i guss i can downgrade myself to a beginner/intermedate. what do i do? i was so fixed on the dom now i have to go thru this again. Dominator or Potatonator? aaaahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

Relay Champions is a special series The Yadkin Ripple is included in the month leading up to Yadkin Relay For Life's event on May 10 at Starmount High School. The series will feature the stories of Relay For Life participants who have survived cancer, lost a loved one to cancer, or those who have acted as caregivers for a loved one with cancer.
Becky Marquis dreamed of the day she would meet her knight in shining armor and live the fairytale romance she had dreamed of.
She achieved that dream, but cancer would steal that fairytale from her and her children by taking the man she had waited her whole life for.
"On the night of March 31, 1998, this guy walked into the video store where I was working. I was in awe. … He was my dream come true," Marquis said.
Later that year the couple packed up and moved to Mack's hometown in Maine, and they were married in July 1999. They welcomed their first daughter in December of 1999 and their second daughter in September of 2001.
"We had it all, we were crazy about each other and we had two beautiful girls," Marquis said. "I couldn't ask for anything more. Our life was amazing."
In January 2004 their fairytale would take a dark turn. Mack sustained an injury when he fell off a ladder at work. With no medical insurance, Mack just made a trip into the emergency room where he was given pain medications and sent home. His pain continued for weeks despite the medication.
He decided to make a trip to the family doctor and follow-up. That doctor said he should be fine with osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) and some time to heal.
"By late February, he had lost 40 pounds, with no explanation of why," Marquis said. "By March he still hurt, was still on pain meds, was still going to the OMT, and every night he was running a fever of 105 and having horrible night sweats. I had no clue what to do. The doctor acted like it was nothing; he just kept writing the scripts for pain meds and making his next appointment for his visit with the OMT."
His nighttime fevers, night sweats and chronic itching would send Mack to the emergency room in the middle of the night, but Marquis said that doctors would list him as a drug seeker and send him home.
By September 2004 Mack had been out of work for most of the year, and with no sign of relief for his pain or diagnosis of his symptoms he began struggling with depression.
"He felt incompetent at his role as husband and father; he felt like he was letting us down," Marquis said.
He asked his doctor for something to help with his depression. A therapist ordered an MRI to prove to Mack that there was nothing physically wrong with him and to commit him to a 30-day evaluation in a psychiatric hospital.
On Sept. 29, 2004 the doctor called Mack and told him to come in immediately for the results of his MRI.
"He sat there in his office and apologized to us. He said that he was wrong, that Mack was very sick," Marquis said. "He said that he was making an appointment for Mack at the local cancer center. After more tests, they let us know that Mack had Stage 4B Hodgkin's Lymphoma."
Mack was started on chemotherapy immediately. They decided not to tell the girls about Mack's diagnosis because they were so young they didn't want to scare them. They decided to tell them that daddy's blood was sick.
Marquis had to jump into caregiver mode for her children and now for her husband. She couldn't work because caregiver was her full-time job. She made sure Mack made it to all of his appointments, maintained his diet, took his meds and that her daughters continued to live life as normal.
"I kept the girls in gymnastics, swim lessons, and they played soccer so their life was as normal as it could be," Marquis said. "I tried to keep up regular normal life too; grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, laundry, keeping a budget without jobs, paying bills, scheduling the girls and my regular check ups, dentist appointments, keeping a schedule of all his doctor appointments, making sure I had all his meds on hand and so much more."
Mack continued on chemo for several years and underwent two bone marrow transplants. By the second transplant Becky and Mack knew they had to start preparing their daughters for the worst. They finally shared that he had cancer and told them that he would die.
The family will always remember a two-week family vacation before July 3, 2007, when Mack awoke to his eighth wedding anniversary and unbearable illness.
Becky tried to take him to the emergency room, but he refused to go and insisted that she take the children on their planned July 4 festivities. By that night he had to be taken to the hospital and was rushed to his transplant doctor in Boston to try to find a solution.
"Within 15 minutes of arriving at the hospital in Boston, Mack was unable to breathe on his own," Marquis said. "He was intubated, and he was put into a medical induced coma. Mack's body started shutting down. His blood pressure wouldn't stay up. His kidneys stopped working properly. Everything was just giving out."
Marquis realized that she was going to lose her prince charming. She struggled to remain strong for her daughters.
"July 17, 2007 was the worst day of my life," Marquis said. "I took my two baby girls into that hospital room to say goodbye to their daddy. That is something that no mother should have to do.
"They each gave him a kiss on the cheek and we left the room," Marquis continued. "Later that night the doctor shut off all the machines, and at 6:31 p.m. my soul mate was gone. His battle was over, and he didn't have to fight anymore."
Marquis said that Relay has given her the opportunity to help find a cure so that no other family will have to endure what her family has.
"I participate in Relay so that one day little girls won't have to sit in their daddy's lap while he gets chemo. So that one day little girls won't have to see their daddy get sick after chemo treatments.
"So that one day little girls won't have to wait for weeks for their Daddy to get back home from a bone marrow transplant. And one day little girls won't have to know that their daddy is going to die of cancer."
Yadkin County Relay For Life will host its event on May 10 at Starmount High School starting at 6 p.m. This is an overnight event and the public is encouraged to attend. To learn more visit www.facebook.com/YadkinCountyRelay.

Track and field: Lewisville coach Ray White heading to Barbers Hill
By Justin Thomas, email@example.com
During his 20 seasons as Lewisville's track and field and cross country head coach, Ray White has seen plenty of success in and plenty of alterations to the area.
Now, White feels it is his time for a change.
White will be leaving his post to accept the head track and field coaching position at Barbers Hill, a Class 4A program about 40 miles east of Houston.
White was hired by Barbers Hill athletic director and head football coach Ronnie Gage. A Texas High School Coaches Association Hall of Honor inductee, Gage led the Farmers to Class 5A State Football Titles in 1993 and 1996.
"We're good friends and having coach Gage as the athletic director played into the decision," White said. "That was a nice added bonus."
White will have the opportunity to coach with one of his former track and field athletes at Lewisville as former Farmer Trey Lewis will be an assistant. White will also serve as an assistant coach for the football team.
"There were just so many positives," he said. "Barbers Hill is a solid program both athletically and academically. I'll get started next school year and hope to raise the standards of the track and field program to even higher levels."
Barbers Hill is also a one-school town where White's son -- who is entering second grade next year -- will be at the same school as his father.
"It was a very tough decision," he said. "I've been coaching for 21 years and 20 of them were at Lewisville. It's like I'm leaving home. Lewisville is a great school in a great school district and I have no doubt whoever is hired as my replacement will do a great job. I'm proud of what we accomplished at Lewisville and I know the kids there are going to continue to do a great job."

Abrams and Spielberg team up to bring an adventure about scary monsters and precocious tweens. You can guess who brought what.
For those too young to remember, before comic book movies and other geek culture dominated summer release schedules a blockbuster's pedigree was based largely on its stars and sometimes also the director and producers involved. For about fifteen years or so, roughly between 1982′s E.T. and 1997′s The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Steven Spielberg's name on a project was pretty much a license to print cash. Long on adventure and what a less jaded era called "wonder" but also cynically sentimental and patronizing towards the "magic" of youthful exuberance, Spielberg's directorial work – E.T., the first Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade – routinely provided an idealized vision of childhood for the latchkey generation.
So it's probably no wonder that Super 8 takes place in early summer 1979, a period that's come to symbolize an age of low-tech innocence in much the same way that the 1950s did for the 1980′s. Spielberg as producer is well matched with J.J. Abrams, a writer/director who doesn't mind suspending spectacle for the sake of character development. But their collaboration is less a union of strengths so much as a blending of weaknesses, making the finished film an uneven, prolonged struggle with itself. To call it a bad film is perhaps besides the point, because it never really aspires to anything besides diversionary entertainment. Except it often fails to provide that.
Set in the Springsteenesque town of Lillian, Ohio, the story focuses on tween Joe Lamb (Joel Courtney) and his sheriff's deputy father (Kyle Chandler), struggling with the death of Joe's mother at the local steel mill. The two are not close, but with the beginning of summer Joe finds a creative outlet for his grief helping overbearing buddy Charles (Riley Griffiths) complete his homemade zombie film for a local film competition. Complications arise when Charles casts local dream girl Alice (Elle Fanning) in a crucial role. Alice's alcoholic father, it seems, is indirectly responsible for the death of Joe's mother. Joe and Alice are fascinated by one another through guilt and grief, and their friendship – forbidden by Joe's dad as well as Alice's (Ron Eldard) – coalesces into the bulk of the film's emotional substance.
Courtney and Fanning are both very good actors, and backed by old pros like Chandler and Eldard it's almost a shame that the film won't be an engaging character piece about these simple, sympathetic victims. Yet, despite, and nevertheless, the filming of Charles' 8-millimeter saga captures a spectacular freight train-truck collision that frees something the Air Force was transporting across country; stranger still, the truck was driven into the train on purpose by their science teacher (Glynn Turman). In short order a series of strange events plague the town – machinery disappears, all the dogs head for the hinterlands, people start vanishing. The Air Force, led by Colonel Nelec (Noah Emmerich) obviously knows something but won't share information with local officials. When the mysterious presence grabs the town's sheriff, Joe's father tries to hold things together while solving the mystery.
The strange events increase, growing more violent and more dependant on special effects. Joe and the gang realize, thanks to purloined evidence from the teacher's storage locker, that the creature they see only dimly in the footage from their wrecked camera is the prisoner of the military, an alien crash-landed on Earth in the 1950s and held prisoner ever since. As the Air Force evacuates the town and steps up its attempts to recapture the alien, Joe embarks on a mission to save Alice from its subterranean lair.
The resolutions to both stories will feel familiar to anyone who grew up with Spielberg's films and their legions of reruns on cable. Joe's empathy allows him to reach an entente with the monstrous alien, saving Alice's life even while the arrogance of the adults around them cements their downfall. The kids' fathers reconcile their differences in short order (too short, really, given their source) and the alien gets to go home thanks to a spaceship cobbled together from all those stolen appliances.
The film's getting a lot of press about Abrams paying "homage" to Spielberg's 80s work, but the combined effect doesn't feel so much like tribute as parenthetical citation. A nod to Close Encounters of the Third Kind here, an oblique reference to Jaws there, and of course a tureen full of The Goonies (of which Spielberg was Executive Producer, possibly a nebulous title except the film bears so many of his hallmarks). Yet all the little details don't serve to move the story or the characters forward but instead hang from it like tinsel. Scenes drag on or fall short before reaching their payoff, and often hammy acting by the kids only compounds the problem.
The first act, past the lovely prologue involving the funeral of Joe's mother, goes on much longer than it should, and falls short of establishing the children's' personalities before the creature is set loose. The second act, by comparison, contains most of the suspense but often feels disorganized and uncertain of its priorities. For as much as Abrams is willing to pause action to let his characters breathe – and he does in a heartbreaking sequence involving Alice and Joe watching home movies of Joe's mother – the action when it happens fails to engage on anything but the most superficial level. He also relies on too many tropes he's used before: the contraband film strip, the underground bunkers, the renegade scientists all recall Lost too much by half, and not in a way that invites favorable comparison.
For as good as Courtney and Fanning are, less so are Riley Griffiths and Ryan Lee as Charles the filmmaker and Cary the pyromaniac. But their characters are little more than stock types, meant to occupy space and provide comic relief, as are Gabriel Basso and Zach Mills as the gang's third string. Emmerich is a sublime character actor who deserves better roles than Nelec, a villain who would twirl his mustache if he had one.
The ending is about what you 'd expect, sentimental and superficially brave without excpecting any real emotional engagement from the audience. Spielberg's films, after all, always made sure their stories ended tidily for everyone, character and viewer alike. Actually, this time the audience can stick around to see Charles' completed zombie saga in all its goofy, patchwork glory. At several minutes in length it's a nice after-dinner mint for the rest of the film, even if it's maybe not as charming as Abrams and Spielberg think.

God is love. And, love is universal. I truly view the bible as a mere book that is wholly irrelevant to God. I view the human inventions of every religion and denomination as holy distractions from true spirituality. I find sexuality, race, gender, and class to be equally meaningless to the singular global spirit that all humans refer, with diverse monikers, as God.
I study all religions as I do any other subject. Learning is an incessant passion of my life. I have read many religious tomes by biblical scholars. There is none better than "Their Own Receive Them Not: African American Lesbians & Gays in Black Churches" by stunningly handsome theological scholar, professor, and Episcopal priest Dr. Horace L. Griffin.
I adore Dave Chappelle's political humor. One of my favorite Chappelle skits stars a blind black male who is unaware that he is black and is a zealous member of the Ku Klux Klan. He spews racist venom with a rabid intensity that belies his ebony skin and nappy hair…
I recall this tragically comical fictional character every time I am forced to attend a black church (only on very rare occasions of funerals and holidays). The thought of this hateful fool haunts me as I suddenly witness the sobering real life atrocity of black gay masochists paying tithes and singing in choirs for gaybashing black preachers…
When my spirit is assaulted by such humorless antics, I heal by reading a definitively scholarly work on the shameless evil that black churches have practiced historically, and brazenly continue to encourage eternally. "Their Own Receive Them Not: African American Lesbians & Gays in Black Churches." details exactly what it means to endure religious evil by being a black gay Christian in America.
This brilliant book documents the ancient and ongoing existence of homosexuality in Africa. It illustrates the history and reverence of homosexuals in many African tribes. It dispels the racist myth that homosexuality is a European disease. In fact, it clearly proves that European homophobia infected Africa and African homosexuals. That rabidly virulent infection continues to plague Africans across in religious "sanctuaries" across the Diaspora.
"Their Own Receive Them Not: African American Lesbians & Gays in Black Churches" is a stellar mix of theology and wisdom, religion and sanity, history and hope, unconditional love and uncompromising logic. This classic book simultaneously reads like an encyclopedia, a primer, and a righteous weapon of spiritual self defense. It is a triple threat for the trilogy of terror that black lesbians and gays endure in a world that hates blacks, women (including men who are regarded as womanly), and gays.
In this impressive book, Dr. Griffin masterfully examines the lives and legends of many African-American icons. He details the clandestine homosexual lives of Dr. George Washington Carver, and James Cleveland. He celebrates the renowned openly gay lives of Bayard Rustin and James Baldwin. He reviews the curious and suspect denials regarding the sex lives of Max Robinson and Earvin "Magic" Johnson.
Dr. Griffin heralds the inspirational biographies of many homosexual Christian warriors. They are lesbian and gay icons who defiantly serve true Christianity with divine and rebel missions, just as Jesus did. They include sheros like Dr. Barbara Jordan, Bishop Yvette Flunder, and Reverend Dr. Irene Monroe.
"Their Own Receive Them Not: African American Lesbians & Gays in Black Churches" also wonderfully calls several ruthless and legendary black gaybashers to task, like the notoriously adulterous heterosexual whore Adam Clayton Powell, the poster boy of the Republikkkan neocon clergy T. D. Jakes, and the bastard baby making, wafflingly inclusive humanitarian Jesse Jackson Sr. It exposes the transgressions of droves of other sinful black pastors, like the opulent Fred Price, the tragically twisted Donnie McClurkin, and many others.
Contrary to Republikkkan religious rhetoric, hatred and lies are not godly values. This book meticulously exposes the hypocrisy of such sinful homohatred. It exposes how gaybashers defy God's commandment to love everyone, as they encourage others to love everyone except gays. They ban gay marriage as they ignore gay love. They use birth control religiously, as they falsely claim sex is exclusively for procreation. They demand that gays pretend to be reformed heterosexuals, as they condemn the "Down Low" homosexuals who destroy families and break heterosexual hearts daily. They claim the doors of black churches are perpetually open to all entrants, even as they slander our names and slay our spirits upon entry.
I needed this book decades ago. I needed it as a secretly and suicidally depressed and closeted lesbian teenager. I needed it as I hid in a sexual closet until I was 21 years old. I knew I was a lesbian when I was six years old. I just had no words to express it. This book speaks volumes for all of God's children who are gay. It heals the agony and dejection we all receive in the name of a blasphemed God.
"Their Own Receive Them Not: African American Lesbians & Gays in Black Churches" is the perfect holiday gift for every sane black person you know. Buy it for the lesbian and gay teenagers that you love, who are enduring more pain and confusion than you can ever imagine. This book encompasses all of the history and healing that any Black homosexual needs to survive.
I am vehemently weary with the pseudochristian hypocrisies that this book so expertly nullifies. I am a passionate Leo. The lioness within me is often fatally impatient. At 44, as I become tamed by the grace of aging, I often resist bloodily tearing my gaybashing enemies to shreds. This book soothes my savage warrior soul. Dr. Griffin skillfully slays our shared enemies so much less bloodily than I…
This book is noble and intellectual slaughter upon those who have poisoned the black church. It is penned with the precision of a surgeon. It shines with the passion of the sun. It sheds light upon the homohating cancer that erodes most Black churches today.
Love is the ultimate godly value. This book is indeed a divine and superb work of idyllic and authentic Christian love for the masses. It inspires us to love our homosexual selves, just as the God who creates us in every living species does.
Here are a few excerpts from "Their Own Receive Them Not: African American Lesbians & Gays in Black Churches":
"There is a striking irony that African American Christians are so uncritical of Paul's writing about homosexual activity but have maintained a critical attitude or simple rejection of Paul's instructions on slavery.
African American Christians, like other Christians, 'treat so literally the references to homosexual practice in the Bible, while at the same time they interpret biblical texts on almost every other topic with considerable flexibility and non-literalness.'
…what is perceived as natural does indeed change over time
'love the sinner, hate the sin'. Many find this perspective illogical. They argue if same-sex attraction or expression is what makes the person gay, then what is being loved? With sexuality being an inextricable part of one's being, the popular saying has as much success in reality as loving brown-eyed people while hating brown eyes.
I regard sin as those behaviors that violate, destroy, and abuse our fellow human beings and our relationships with them. In this respect, homosexuality does not belong in the category of sin any more than heterosexuality does.
Much of black heterosexuals' antihomosexual sentiment exists as a means of countering the perception of black sexuality being perverse…
…we know that lesbians and gays can and do reflect the same Christian moral character found in heterosexuals.
…most gay men and lesbians were not raped and are not rapists.
No reputable scientific study concludes that homosexuality is a choice and can be overcome.
…black Christians will recognize that the mire of homosexuality debates threaten our measure to be faithful Christians for the poor, the infirm, the imprisoned, and those suffering from violence."

I have never been to White Castle in my life. Even when I ate meat I steered clear of their steamed hamburgers that have the dubious reputation of passing through you like they were laced with Olestra. But I do like the idea of small burgers since they are perfect for kids. So, behold! This is my first installment of kid-friendly recipes for this month (see sidebar if you have no idea what I am talking about). My original plan was to buy dinner rolls at the grocery store and use them as buns. But, I could not find any without egg or dairy in them so I had to make my own (see here). The boys loved them since they were kid-sized. This is the first time Son #2 has eaten an entire burger bun and all. Usually he gets frustrated with the regular sized bun and just eats the burger and toppings with a fork. I also think this is a perfect recipe to ease omni kids into meat-free burgers since the patties are thin.

Vegan Slyders
Put whatever you want on your burger. These are just some suggestions.
- 16 small buns or rolls
- 1 recipe perfect tempeh burger, shaped into 16 small patties and fried for 3-4 mins per side
- vegan cheese slices
- vegenaise
- sliced tomato
- sliced pickle
- sliced sweet onion
- shredded romaine lettuce
- 1 sliced jalapeno pepper, fried in oil for 3-4 mins
- kethcup, mustard, etc.
VARIATIONS (as pictured above)
1. Double Cheeseburger: slice a bun into three sections. Place a burger on the bottom bun and top with a cheese slice and condiments of choice. Top that with the middle slice of the bun, another burger, a cheese slice, tomato, onions, etc.
2. Jalapeno Cheeseburger: Add fried jalapeno slices in with your other condiments for an extra kick.

Well I finished this book yesterday and my copy had both of these stories. So which one do you guys think was better. For me it would have to be Morality! I just loved the ending.
Well I finished this book yesterday and my copy had both of these stories. So which one do you guys think was better. For me it would have to be Morality! I just loved the ending.
..had already read Morality previously, and it was OK, but enjoyed BB tremendously....
I loved them both in different ways. BB was one of the best creepy person stories SK has ever written IMO, but Morality was such a good question. I love stories that make me say What would I do?
"Morality" by a mile. "Blockade Billy" is one of my least-favorite things King has ever written.
I liked both stories, mainly because of their streamlined nature. I don't mind long stories, but Stephen King does have a tendency to ramble in many of his stories, obsessing on trivial details. Both stories were quite 'lean and mean', which was nice.
If I have to choose, I definitely prefer Blockade Billy of the two. I'm not even into baseball, but I found it very engrossing, never losing your attention. I've known people like Billy (aside from the worst parts....I hope), and King really nails his personality and voice (or lack thereof). I also love the cover. At first it seems innocent, but then I started reading, and found myself flipping back to the cover, to get a better look at Billy. Delightfully creepy story + cover.
Morality was nice, but nothing new. Drunk author husband + unfaithful (or merely suspected of being so) wife is a recurring theme in many of his books. The story worked well though, again because it was refined. Instead of 300 pages, we have 50ish, which is a good length for the story, given that there are only three important characters.
I highly recommend the book, especially if you can find it in the discount section.
Morality. Definitely the darker of the two stories.
Both stories were good, but I'd say BB because I'm a baseball guy.

It is the responsibility of the police department to redact information that is required by state law. I try to make sure that they have completed this task without mistakes, however I am not responsible for redaction of information. As a reminder, just because someone is charged with a violation of state law that does not mean they are guilty of any crime. If you should have any questions about the reports, you should contact the police department.
According to the Asheboro Police Department website they employee 78 sworn officers and 7 civilian employees. The Chief of the police department is Rickey Wilson. Chief Wilson has spent his career at the police department starting on the police reserves in 1979.

I am wondering why some and not they.
It may seem a little bit of a strange situation; And when they saw him they worshiped him but they doubted but that is no justification to make it some is it? It could just as well be; they worshiped him, yet they doubted , in the sense of eventhough they doubted.
Or is eventhough not a waranted tranlation for δέ.

Comments about Scubapro "Twin Jet" Full Foot Fins:
This is a nice fin, equally good for scuba or snorkeling. The sizing does run small, as I woumd up with the 11/12 size which is onlly slighty large on my foot and my shoe size is a 9,but can accomadate a thin sock , not a soled bootie. Very fluid underwater and easy to remove while in water as you are getting back on boat. Great value for a split fin, performs almost like the biofin, but much lighter

Excellent Fins
By Dan
from Wisconsin
About Me Recreational Diver
I have been using these fins almost the entire time I have been certified. You get good speed and control with little effort. The housing for your foot is a little stiff, and it will feel like you should tighten them more then you actually need to. Don't over tighten these or they will rub the top of your foot.Overall a great set of fins. I know a lot of people who use them and I have yet to find a better set of fins.
Pretty good fin

Rubbed the top of my foot.A softer rubberprobably would help.Great ease of kickingwith no leg fatiuge.I really like the finsexcept for the rubbing.

So if you guys slightly remember some of my last threads asking about the PS Vita, I was saving up for one. Well, the time is nearly here. However, here's the thing. I'm looking at the PS Vita games and stuff and I'm wondering are there ANY must plays on the PS Vita right now? In other words, do I even have a reason to get a Vita at this moment? I'm not saying I have zero reasons to get a Vita, what I'm saying is, I'd rather wait until there's at least one or two must plays before dishing out the cash.
Is Gravity Daze what you guys consider a must play?
Last but not least, you guys are a 100% if someone buys a 3G vita, they don't have to have the AT&T 3G package? I'm just wanting to make sure.

Sony has basically sent Vita out to die imo. It had some good launch titles but hasnt had jack since then. As a result mine just sat around gathering dust so I finally just sold it and never looked back. And the memory sticks are way overpriced. So I would have to say no.
01-26-2013 #4
Uncharted, wipeout, and nfs are must plays. It depends on you teally. How much use would you get out of it. I have a job that allows me to play a lot.
There are some really good ones on the horizon too.
I have the wifi version and no 3g package at all.
With ps+ its a must buy imo.

The PS VITA is an amazing system and it will give and deliver a different experience. If you have the money and wants to buy it, than go ahead as I did. But if you don't much money and could wait. Than do that as the poster above said. The VITA will be always around to buy.

IMO, save your money. Theres not enough really good games out to justify buying one
Though im saying this as a non-vita owner, but I bought a PSP as soon as I could (around the time the PSP Slim silver was introduced) and I've kind of regretted it ever since. There hasnt been many games on that platform, and most of the good ones I found a pain in the ass to play. Hopefully the rumours about Monster Hunter 4 on vita is true, cause that would make me go a long way to consider buying one.
01-26-2013 #11
It won't be a must buy console ever , if you are not japanese or know japanese and like those games.

I've had mine since it came out and I agree it is an amazing handheld but there are only a small selection of games worth getting imo such as;
Super Stardust Delta
Lumines Electronic Symphony
Wipeout 2048
Gravity Rush
Uncharted Golden Abyss
Although saying that there are a few games I have not tried on the Vita such as Little Big Planet, Assassins Creed Liberation and Little Deviants.
I've only recently started playing on the Vita again because I went back to my 360, I had previously thought about selling my Vita but I'm quite glad I didn't to be honest, would of regretted it.

The PS Vita is turning 1yrs old in the states so I hardly think this is "rushing" in to anything. I think right now is a fine time to buy the Vita. I will drop you a list of my favorite Vita games which should be plenty reason to own one.
1. Persona 4 Golden
2. Uncharted: Golden Abyss
3. Little Big Planet Vita
4. Gravity Rush
5. Ragnarok Odyssey
6. Mortal Kombat
7. Sonic & All-Stars Racing
8. Rayman Origins
9. PS1 Classics (these look very nice on the OLED screen)
10. Need For Speed: Most Wanted
01-29-2013 #14
I travel a ton, and I actually do way more gaming on handhelds than my consoles. While I think the Vita is great, I still carry my PSP.. There's not a ton there right now, but I do think it's coming in the future. I don't regret buying it at all.

Isn't there supposed to be a price cut sometime this year?

Don't buy one yet, give it at least a few months until the content ramps up. There's a few games coming that look decent. The current library isn't quite there yet, in my opinion.
Love how people can so readily cry out for a price cut when they've no financial stake at risk.
