text: International News Canada: New AIDS Strategy -- If We Can't Scare Them, Let's Make Them Proud of Their Pride and JoySeptember 20, 2005 AIDS Vancouver and Rethink Advertising are leading a national "Gay Men Play Safe" campaign in Canada this year. In the process, they created funny safer-sex messages in an explicit shift from the more than 20 years of occasionally dramatic, controversial, and confrontational HIV prevention discourse in the gay community. Last year's campaign asked gay men "How do you know?" a variety of assumptions about how safe unprotected sex is. In bathrooms and on billboards, campaign posters were "very hard-hitting," said Robert Smith, HIV Edmonton's research and development chief. "The visuals and some of the controversy around the visuals created an impact as well." "The last campaign was aiming at the 25 percent of gay men who are not practicing safer sex," said Smith, who finds the new campaign a breath of fresh air. "What about the other 75 percent? ... How do we make them feel good about what they do? We decided, this time around, to celebrate and to thank them for keeping themselves safe." "We're far too serious about sex," said Smith. "It's using humor to reaffirm sexual health and sexual behavior, and it's taking away from that 'sex is bad' scenario. I think humor is a great way to go with sexual education."

Although 10m ecu (£7.5m) was spent on sending 325 monitors to South Africa as well as 112 police observers, no copy of the 134-page report was given to the South African government. An official closely associated with it said publication was prevented after it was decided not to rake over the flawed details of an election that produced the result everyone wanted.
How that result was obtained after the announcement of results was halted on 3 May has always been a closely guarded secret. The European Union report appears to confirm that the results in some areas, including the highly volatile region of KwaZulu Natal, were simply fixed among the parties to produce the generally expected result in order to ensure that Mangosuthu Buthelezi's Inkatha Freedom Party secured enough votes for a place in the government of national unity.
The report, a copy of which has been obtained by the Independent, stresses that no international observer was present in the central results unit during the whole of the counting period or during the meetings between party leaders to discuss disputed ballots.
The report says that, according to officials of the Independent Electoral Commission, the party representatives negotiated disputed ballots. It concludes that since the number of spoiled votes was extremely low in relation to the chaos which surrounded several aspects of the election, "an agreement on disputed votes must have been concluded".
No detailed breakdown of results has ever been made available. European officials said yesterday that the report was not intended for publication and had been used in seminars for planning other election monitoring exercises. That was not the expectation when it was written, however, and the report itself stresses the need for transparency in the election process and says that the monitoring exercise was supposed to provide both international and domestic credibility for the election.
Ivo Dubois, the former director of the Sub-Saharan Africa section of the Department of Foreign Political Affairs in Brussels, said: "The reason why the report had not been published I am not able to tell you. I am going to take it up."
Stephan Stenberg-Jensen, his successor, said it was technically an internal report from the head of the monitoring unit, Jacob de Ruiter, to Hans van den Broek, then EU Commissioner for External Affairs.
The monitors made several recommendations for future voting in South Africa which might now be useful as the country gears up for local elections.
In contrast to the press release issued by the EU monitors at the time which referred to "administrative problems", the unpublished report says that the voting operation and the counting process suffered from "major problems" and adds that the resulting chaos was "an invitation to cheat or at least it leads to the assumption that cheating might have taken place".

We picked our RV up in Denver Colorado and headed east along the I-70 over the Rockies, through incredible scenery and past famous mountain resorts like Aspen, Vail, and Breckenridge.
We wanted to get some mileage under our belts on the first day we so didn't try and find a place to camp until late in the day and as it was the last weekend of the American school holidays all organised sites were full. We fell on our feet however when we were told about this free spot in the White River Forest near Breckenridge. When we pulled in we were surrounded by dozens of deer.
High in the mountains the Moon was full and the Stars were bright. While the the rest of my family slept I played around with my camera, it took only a 10 second exposure to get shots like this one.

A charity warns today that it has just days left to raise £6m for an effective treatment for cystic fibrosis (CF) or a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" will be missed.
A shortfall in funding, caused by the economic slump, means that clinical trials to repair faulty genes in sufferers of the chronic lung disease could be axed. Early trials have shown that the treatment prevents lung damage caused by the disease, which affects 9,000 people in the UK.
The Cystic Fibrosis Trust has so far raised £1m this year. Gifts and guaranteed pledges are needed by the end of October for trial drugs to be ordered.
Professor Eric Alton, of the UK CF Gene Therapy Consortium, said: "A decade of work has put us in this position. No one else in the world is capable of doing this, and it is crucial for CF patients that we should push forward."

Nez Perce Issue Permit for Gillnetting Clearwater
2:38 pm: Nez Perce tribe issues permit for gill nets to catch steelhead on Clearwater
print | email this story By ASSOCIATED PRESS January 18, 2007 LEWISTON, Idaho (AP) - The Nez Perce Tribe in northern Idaho has issued a permit for one of its members to use a 100-foot long gill net to catch steelhead in the Clearwater River, a famed waterway among sport steelhead anglers. "We have one permit we will be authorizing," Joe Oatman, a member of the tribe's Fish and Wildlife Commission, told The Lewiston Tribune. "They will be fishing around the lower reaches of the Clearwater River." The permit allows use of the net from Thursday through 6 p.m. Saturday. The tribe announced last week that it intends to increase the number of steelhead it takes by using gill nets to catch the oceangoing fish that return to spawn in the region's rivers. The tribe has a treaty right to 50 percent of the harvestable fish within the reservation and from off-reservation fishing areas. Hatchery and wild steelhead swim up the Columbia and Snake rivers in the fall and then spend the winter in the Clearwater and Snake rivers before moving again in the spring, with hatchery fish going to hatcheries and wild fish to spawning areas. The Clearwater and Snake have a surplus of hatchery steelhead for fishing. But wild Snake River steelhead are listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, and sport anglers must release them unharmed. Gill nets kill both wild and hatchery fish after the fish's gills become entangled in the mesh. Oatman said the tribe estimates it can net 1,360 wild steelhead without endangering the run. He said that if that many wild fish are caught, the tribe would remove the gill nets and restrict fishing to dip nets and hooks. "We don't expect to have an impact on wild runs," Oatman said. "We want to keep it within levels we have defined in our tribal management plan." The gill net fishery has not been approved by the National Marine Fisheries Service, which is responsible for protecting listed runs of salmon and steelhead. However, tribal fishing rights predate Endangered Species Act rules. "Even as we recognize the treaty (fishing) rights of the Nez Perce Tribe, we think the best thing is to make sure those rights are exercised in a way that doesn't impair the recovery of the steelhead," said Bob Lohn, regional director for the service. "So we intend to work with them on Endangered Species Act consultation." Historically, tribal members have fished for steelhead in the Clearwater with dip nets and harpoons, a less efficient method than gill nets. "The tribe has been fishing for steelhead for a long time, but not with gill nets," Ed Schriever, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game's Clearwater Region fisheries manager, told The Associated Press on Thursday. "Now gill netting is going to potentially occur side by side with sport fishing, and a lot of folks are concerned." Schriever said that gill nets had not been placed in the river early Thursday. "We well understand there is going to be a lot of people who are upset at the mere fact that the tribe is going to be using gill nets," Oatman said. "That is something we are looking into and without actually having any direct complaints to the tribe we will take them as they come and consider such complaints as we execute future seasons."

Do you suppose taking another 1300 + wild fish is going to make a difference in the sport fishing or the survival of wild fish?
I guess I now get to think about whether I will buy another out-of-state fishing license.

* Rebel truce runs parallel to Ukraine forces ceasefire
* No fighting reported on ground for first time in weeks
* Talks with rebels involved Moscow envoy
* EU urges Russia to use influence on separatists (Adds background, context)
By Aleksandar Vasovic
DONETSK, Ukraine, June 23 (Reuters) - Separatist leaders in two main areas of Ukraine's east have agreed to observe a ceasefire with Ukrainian forces until June 27, one of them, Alexander Boroday, said on Monday.
The truce is to run parallel to a unilateral Ukrainian military ceasefire declared by President Petro Poroshenko on Friday as part of a peace plan to end the insurgency by pro-Russian separatists in the Russian-speaking east that threatens the dismemberment of the former Soviet republic.
The separatists' announcement, after talks which also involved a senior Russian diplomat and a former Ukrainian president, came after a day of high diplomacy in which the West urged Russia to use its influence to defuse the conflict in Ukraine's rebellious east.
Speaking after meeting a "contact group" which included a representative of the OSCE security watchdog, Boroday said: "The consultation ended with authorities of the Luhansk and Donetsk Republics agreeing to maintain a ceasefire for their part ...until the 27th."
An unusual lack of armed incidents throughout Monday, making it the first non-violent day in the east for weeks, appeared to indicate that the rebels had begun to observe their truce earlier in the day.
Volodymyr Chepovy, an official of Ukraine's National Security and Defence Council, said that from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. no incidents of weapons use were recorded. "There were no attempts to seize administrative buildings or military points etc."
Ukrainian ex-president Leonid Kuchma, who took part in the talks, said the agreement on a two-way ceasefire until 10 a.m. on June 27 meant "one of the key problems has been resolved."
The declaration of a rebel ceasefire after talks involving a Russian representative seemed certain to be welcomed by the West as a sign Moscow could be ready now to help engineer a settlement in Ukraine's troubled east.
Andriy Parubiy, head of Ukraine's National Security and Defence Council, said the participants at Monday's talks had also agreed there should be cooperation to free hostages.
Earlier, the European Union, with whom Ukraine will sign a landmark association and trade agreement on Friday, threw its weight behind Poroshenko's peace initiative after hearing a report from his new foreign minister, and it urged Russia to use its influence on the separatists to halt the violence.
"The EU calls on all sides to agree and honour a ceasefire immediately in order to stabilise the security situation, achieve a genuine de-escalation and create the necessary conditions for President Poroshenko's peace plan to be implemented," the EU bloc said in a statement in Luxembourg.
Though Poroshenko announced his ceasefire last Friday, Kiev reported a spate of armed attacks by rebels on Ukrainian military and border posts over the weekend.
Scores of people have been killed and wounded in Ukraine since the rebellions erupted in the industrial east in April following the toppling of the Moscow-backed president Viktor Yanukovich by protesters in February and Russia's subsequent annexation of the Russian-majority Crimea region.
The dead include about 150 Ukrainian servicemen - among them 49 who died when a cargo plane was brought down by rebel fire - and scores of rebels and ordinary citizens.
It has been the worst bloodshed in Ukraine since it became independent with the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991.
Russia has denied Kiev's charges that it has helped foment the separatist unrest and knowingly allowed military equipment to cross into Ukraine or built up forces along the 1,900 km (1,190 mile) joint border.
While Russian President Vladimir Putin at the weekend gave qualified support for the pro-Western Poroshenko's peace plan he urged Kiev to hold a dialogue with the "opposing side" and find a compromise.
Poroshenko has refused direct talks with separatists who control strategic buildings and points in the main industrial city of Donetsk and the towns of Luhansk and Slaviansk.
Declaring a week-long ceasefire for Ukrainian forces last Friday, he told the rebels, who have declared "people's republics" and said they want to join Russia, to use the time to lay down their arms or face a Ukrainian offensive in a "plan B".
But the inclusion of Kuchma, a long-serving Ukrainian ex-president in Monday's talks with a rebel leader, appeared to be a sign that Poroshenko was trying to meet Putin halfway in his demand for dialogue with the separatists.
Shortly after the rebel ceasefire was announced, the Kremlin said Putin had addressed Ukraine with U.S. President Barack Obama in a telephone conversation on Monday.
"They discussed ... the implementation of the peace plan proposed by President Petro Poroshenko. Putin stressed that priority must be given to halting military operations and to the start of direct negotiations," the Kremlin said.

Operation Prom Dress was held Saturday at Relevant Church. The program is in it's third year. Organizer Samantha Abercrombie said girls came to the event from Carroll, Trimble and Gallatin counties and Vevay.
A call for help after a young man collapsed in a Prestonville home led to what may be the largest heroin bust in Carrollton and Carroll County history Tuesday, April 10.
Carroll County Dispatch received a call Tuesday morning that a 20-year-old male had passed out at 778 Carlisle St. in Prestonville. Carrollton Police Officer Daniel Embry responded to the scene, believing it could be a drug overdose, according to a Carrollton Police Department news release. Embry discovered the man was not breathing and began CPR until the ambulance arrived.
Nearly a quarter of a century after the bus crash on Interstate 71 changed his life forever, survivor Harold Dennis returned to Carrollton last week as part of a project to make a documentary about the tragedy.
Dennis spoke Wednesday to the Carrollton Rotary Club at General Butler State Resort Park, talking some about his personal experiences and also about "Impact," the movie he is producing with several others to educate people on the dangers of drinking and driving.
The city of Prestonville is purchasing 5 acres of land on New Castle Pike for a new city hall and recreation center.
At its April 9 meeting, the city commission voted to purchase the land from Debbie and Tommy Couch for $20,000, as long as the title search on the land is clear.
Mayor Vickie Burgin said Monday that City Attorney Alecia Hubbard had completed the title search on the property and it does have a clear title. Burgin said Hubbard gave her the OK to move forward with acquiring the land.
The Carroll County Sheriff's Office arrested two men on Thursday, March 29 who confessed to stealing to feed their heroin addiction, according to a news release.
A member of the security team at the Carrollton Walmart contacted the Carroll County Sheriff's Office on Thursday, March 29 to report two men inside the store who were believed to be stealing DVDs and PlayStation games and Xbox games. Sheriff Jamie Kinman and Carrollton Police Officer Tim Mitchell responded to the call.
Two burglaries in neighboring areas of Black Rock Road in Ghent are under investigation by the Carroll County Sheriff's Office.
Victor Proctor, 3195 Black Rock Road, reported his home was broken into on April 2 while he was out of the county for a few hours, the sheriff's office reported in a news release. Proctor alleged the burglar pried open a back door and broke a window to gain entry to the mobile home. Once inside, the burglar took a 42-inch LG television.
A domestic dispute between husband and wife ended with the man being flown by helicopter ambulance for treatment of stab wounds.
Wanda Louise Brown, 57, 41 S. Cemetery Lane, Worthville, was arrested for second degree assault on Thursday, April 5, according to a news release from the Carroll County Sheriff's Office. Brown is accused of stabbing her husband, 63-year-old Robert Brown, in the stomach and left leg with a butcher knife.

iPhone 4 owners are starting to sell their used units as Apple prepares to announce its successor. It's a common practice -- sell the "old" tech to help finance the new -- and one Boston-based electronics retailer is already experiencing a significant uptick in smartphone trade-ins and iPhones being offered for sale.
Gazelle's Anthony Scarsella says the current iPhone sell-back is "much more aggressive" than it was when the iPhone 4 was released. Scarsella told The Street that 4,500 people tried to sell their iPhones last week, an increase of nearly 30% from the prior week. If those rates continue, he expects Gazelle to see more than 20,000 customers try to sell iPhones to Gazelle via the web. That would represent 10 times what the company saw with the iPhone 4 transition.
Of course, there are several online vendors willing to buy back your old iPhone. NextWorth is one that I've used, and ReCellular is also offering buy-backs.

What would be a fair price?
Set of 5 with sensors 255/70/18 Bridgestone Dueler A/T have 4900 miles on them, no damage to wheels or tires, never spun just drove on. http://i677.photobucket.com/albums/v...-57-45_781.jpg |
I'd guess the $800 is fair but not much more. May need to go down a hundred or two. Try Craigslist.
190 Attachment(s)
You might be hard pressed for 800. Around me they are listed about 600. You could list at 700 and be willing to go down a bit. Problem with 800 is you are getting. Close to new 15" alloys and 33" tires for that price
ok thanks for the input.. I have them on craigslist for 800 will see what I can get if anything, either way no big deal..
thanks again |

The Magnetic Fields I Don't Like Your Tone Lyrics
Last updated: 06/24/2012 12:00:00 PM
You sigh that I should try your love
I'll never be alone
That you are true, you coo, my dove
But I don't like your tone
You were, you murmur, further just a child
But now you're grown
You hiss that this is bliss, God blessed
But I don't like your tone
What's with all this purring?
Are you a cat?
Why are we whispering?
Love's not like that
When near I hear how clear you make
Your so called feelings known
It's queer, my dear, I fear heartbreak
But I don't like your tone

At CES last week we had a chance to check out several of the newest titles in the works or on offer from Sony Online Entertainment. The Agency, Free Realms, and Legends of Norrath are three substantial departures from the company's big-budget fantasy past. Last week we brought you links to the company's full video presentation on The Agency. Today Dan O'Halloran has firsthand impressions of what the free-to-play kids title FreeRealms will offer.
While we were in Las Vegas we had a chance to sit down with SOE's Chief Executive Officer, John Smedley, about these departures. Our chat focused on the economic changes the company is making in response to the shifting face of MMO gaming. He had some fascinating things to say on the subject of microtransactions and RMT, and unveiled a new community outreach program that will tie in to Free Realms called "Share the Wealth".
Let's say you have your own website. You come to our site, fill out a form pretty much the same as the one for our Station Exchange service with a Social Security number, and give us your PayPal account information. You cut and paste some JavaScript to your site, and now you have a banner ad for Free Realms on your site. We are tracking every customer you give us, and once a month we'll give you somewhere between 5-10% of all the revenue from every customer you send us. That's as long as they are playing the game.
Check out the full discussion on that subject below, and come back later today for the rest of the interview. Mr. Smedley offers us a sneak peek at big plans for subscriber's to SOE's Station Access pass.
A CES interview with SOE CEO John Smedley (pt. 1)
Massively: In the past year, Sony Online Entertainment has made some interesting announcements regarding plans for their upcoming titles. What made you change your mind, and focused you and SOE down the path of mictrotransactions as opposed to subscriptions?
John Smedley: So, it's very simple. It's the belief that these games are more accessible to people if the barrier to entry isn't a credit card. I believe fundamentally, long term, that the subscription model won't be the primary one in the industry forever. It will always be there, but many more people will have access to these games through other methods, a much younger audience. The average age of our consumer right now is 31 years old. Our players are 85% male. If we are going to grow as a company we need to change that, we need to aim younger. We're doing that through a combination of different games, which is the biggest way we're changing things.
We're also looking at new business models, and that's a close second. In order for people to see the games, they have to be able to play them; we're opening them up to that possibility by letting them play for free. You're going to see that first with FreeRealms, and I'm not going to commit to it yet but we're leaning towards going that direction with the Agency as well. It's the same with console games, subscriptions are new things for console gamers.
Massively: You've previous discussed buying non-essential items through Free Realms, and we talked earlier about Legends of Norrath – do you think that those kinds of microtransaction charges are going to be one of the primary sources of revenue for the company?
John Smedley: I do. Our position on the selling of items, and I realize this is a controversial position, is always to focus on non-game-altering items. I think we've done a fantastic job with making sure the items you can get in Legends of Norrath, the loot drops, are not game-impacting. That's essential. However, some people care if their character's shirt is black and they can get a one-of-a-kind item. I think World of Warcraft did a really good job with that in their card game. The turtle mount doesn't give you any extra speed, but it looks cool, and people like that. We want to go the direction where one player doesn't have an advantage over another, but perhaps one player's style choices are more deliberate.
I also think one of the smarter things we did in Legends of Norrath was to make it so that people can get cards via drops in the games. Eventually I want to find a way where people can get everything they need completely by buying it, or just by playing the game.
Massively: So you're talking about a situation where you might be playing and you could find a time card as a drop?
John Smedley: It's interesting that you mention that, because we have been debating in LoN about having 30-day timecards as some of the loot cards. I think that would be a cool way to go. We've proven to ourselves with this game that you can introduce things like this to customers in a way that doesn't piss them off. I think the reason people are okay with it in LoN is that even though it is inarguably the selling of items, you can also get the packs just by playing the game. In my perfect scenario, every item you can get by buying you could also find through straight gameplay without spending a dime. Literally without spending a dime; we can monetize those customers by using in-game ads ... by the way, when I say in-game ads that probably means watching a 30-second video when you log in. I think at the end of the day if you're playing completely for free that's a pretty good trade-off.
Massively: Talking about Legends of Norrath, how do you feel like the game has done in these couple of months since the game came out?
John Smedley: Really well! I can give you some numbers: our average customer spends $133 dollars. We have been able to successfully convert 40% of our customers into Legends of Norrath players. 25% of our customers are paying players. We're extremely pleased and pretty shocked at the level of money people are willing to spend in these things. The reason that's important to customers is that, long-term, we can use that same model to make it so that the people that want to pay can help pay for the people that don't. I think it's an ideal business model for this industry.
Massively: When we spoke last year at SOE Gamer's Day, you were fairly firm about not bringing payment schemes like this to the more traditional hard-core games, like EverQuest 2. With Vanguard you folks have sort of an interesting opportunity, is there any thought to making that game a free-to-play title?
John Smedley: We haven't talked about it with Vanguard, but we have discussed it with the other games. We just feel like it would be too big of a change ... but we do have something that I can talk about publicly. This would be the first time I've ever mentioned it.
With FreeRealms, we're going with a very different distribution system. It's called "Share the Wealth". Let's say you have your own website. You come to our site, fill out a form pretty much the same as the one for our Station Exchange service with a Social Security number, and give us your PayPal account information. You cut and paste some JavaScript to your site, and now you have a banner ad for FreeRealms on your site. We are tracking every customer you give us, and once a month we'll give you somewhere between 5-10% of all the revenue from every customer you send us. That's as long as they are playing the game. I just announced this to our company in December, so this is a very new thing.
Massively: That's very interesting; what made you folks decide to go in that direction?
John Smedley: I believe very firmly that MMO games and online gaming is an ecosystem. A great example of this is World of Warcraft. I think we did a good job with this in EverQuest 1, not so much with 2. Thottbot is a direct example of someone who wrote a great tool and became a part of the game as a result. It's an ecosystem, and so an outside company has been able to make money off of WoW customers via advertising. I believe that one of the best things we can do is to ... first and foremost we have to make a great game. A close second is to give people the ability to build a community around the game, for there to be a community that can feed itself. I think the blogs surrounding these games are a great example; all part of the ecosystem. People want information, and that's healthy for the games and for the bloggers. I want us to push forward in the direction of people evangelizing our games. I think it's a big thing.
Massively: To make sure I understand this, you want to sort of reverse the relationship between Thott and Warcraft? You're giving people the tools to have a 'buy-in' into your game.
John Smedley: Exactly. You get a piece of the game. And it's not a one-time piece, it's an ongoing piece.
Massively: So that's the entire time that the referred players are with the game?
John Smedley: Yep. We're still working out all the details, but that's exactly what we're going to do. We're going to come up with some sort of ramping rate over time ... I'm talking about the number of customers you bring us, you'll reach some sort of threshold ... we're working out the details. That's what we want to go for though, it's about sharing the wealth. I want our customers to be our evangelists, and I want our evangelists to be gaining some kind of reward for that.

After winning back to back titles of "Ultimate Roadie" and "Ultimate King" in MTV Roadies X2 and Splitsvilla 8 respectively, Prince Narula entered in the far more famous and much talked controversial reality show Bigg Boss season 9. This season is themed as "Double Trouble" and like previous few seasons this season is also hosted by Salman Khan.
This time the concept is to make pairs and enter in the house. At the very first day Prince in Bigg Boss got attention by everyone as nobody wants him as partner and almost everyone ignored him until Rochelle Rao made pair with him but that was to unfortunately and she did not had any choice.
But the perception of the contestants became wrong as time gone and he became one of the favorite and strong contender of the show.
Trending Now: How Prince Narula Won The Bigg Boss 9 Trophy?
Recently Prince won the ticket to finale and according to a great number of viewers he is the next Gautam Gulati who can be the winner. Prince has been also popular in the show because of his anger, love and friendship.
After the wild card Rishabh Sinha entered the house, Prince had a bad relationship with him in the beginning but now they are okay with each other. Not only Rishabh but Mandana Karimi who is another strong contender for the title shares a negative relationship with Prince.
Hot Post: Prince Narula Splitsvilla 8 Winner Journey, Anuki, Wiki
As per the contestants, Prince become too much aggressive during the tasks and abuse others. But again we must admit that this is the format of the show where anything is acceptable.
But Prince Prince bigg boss is known for his anger is completely wrong perception. He is also known for his friendship and romantic nature too. In the house of Bigg Boss he found his heart beating for Om Shanti Om actress Yuvika Chowdhury.
He expressed his feeling for the actress using a Paratha which was so cute. But unfortunately she got evicted from the house and the love story ended there.
But the after arrival of another wild card entry Nora Fatehi who was seen in Bahubali, Prince in Big Boss found his heart beating again and they shared some quality time in the house.
Must Checkout: Prince Narula Roadies X2 Winner Journey, Wiki, Achievement
When Prince was the captain of the house he got the opportunity select any girl from the house for a date and he obviously selected his lady love Nora. But again she got eliminated and now Prince is alone in the house.
Prince was also a member of a group named "Cool group" which consists Kishwer, Suyyash, Keith, Rochelle and Nora. Meanwhile half of the members are eliminated from the house and he is no more part of anything. Prince is now at the finale and time will say if he can win the show or not.
We hope and pray may Prince win the show and please Vote for Prince. 😀

What do I do on Friday nights you might ask?
Well...I wrapped baby in her Sleepywrap...
(this was not from yesterday...we were no where near sand last night...ha ha ha)
I like it way better than the Moby Wrap, it stretches and is way more cozy, I think...I have the Moby Wrap too, but don't use it anymore...and I love this green color!
then we danced around my bathroom as I organized some of my make-up and listened to Pandora.
Then we saw this baby bunny outside, it's sooooo cute:
bunny...and the once pink bike toy that was Alani's, then Jordan spray painted it blue and gold for Blakey, when Alani outgrew it! What a nice big brother.
and then we saw this amazing sunset I just had to show you guys!
(see...without the clouds of life we wouldn't have pretty sunsets...)
then we went and got pizza....
as I held a sleeping Cupcake...(which I do all the time...just ask anyone that's ever seen me out anywhere...I am always holding my sleeping Cupcake!)...I played Jordan's friend at PacMan and did pretty well since I was holding a sleeping baby in my other arm!
We had the most fun time in the grocery store looking at stuff and laughing...
Jordan joked about the Sham WooHoo...
if you haven't seen it:
got ice cream and Black Cherry Cream Soda to make Blake Cherry floats!
gave Cupcake a bath...and we went to bed....
and yay, today, it's Saturday... donuts...Kanday (cuz it rhymes with Saturday)

The introduction of tablets gave a tough competition to the Laptops. Then Intel came up with a novel idea of doping the MacBook AIR and for the result is nothing but the birth of Ultrabooks. The first ultrabook is made in joint collaboration between Acer and the Intel and we discussing about Dell XPS Ultrabook Vs Asus Zen Ultrabook for buying specification.
Now-a-days Ultra books are giving a heavy competition to the Tablets. B'coz ultra books gave the versatility of Tablets and the Laptops. The sleek from factor made it to take anywhere. And also the uni-body construction has added the rugged look. Not to mention about the battery backup 8 hours an amazing competing directly with the tablets. The instant on future (reduced boot time) has an added advantage over the tablets. And more over it performs all the function of a Normal laptop.
We are now going to discuss about the two outstanding Ultra books in the market. The Dell Xps and the Asus Zen Book both of the ultra books are Slim, light and attractive Ultra books. The Dell Xps is a Stylish, attractive book. Asus Zen is an economical machine.
The Dell offers two Processor configurations Intel i5 and i7 with an SSD space of about 128 GB and 256 GB. The Asus zen follows the same as Dell. The blue tooth is a little bit advanced version 4.0. Battery back-up for the Dell is about 8 hour on a full charge. Asus would give you 7 hours of battery life.
Then we come to the display part. The screen of the Dell is made of Gorilla glass. The Asus Zen book is a Normal one. But both the machines are having integrated graphics cards. This allows the users to have the same gaming experience in both the machines. There is a backlit keyboard for the Dell Machine where as for Zen it is thumbs down.
Here is a small tabular column that you can check the different features between these two machines.
Dell XPS Ultrabook Vs Asus Zen Ultrabook specs compare:
Features | Dell XPS | Asus Zen book |
Display | HD WLED, Gorlilla glass | LED-backlit, HD |
Screen resolution | 1368*768 | 1600*900 |
Ram | 4 GB | 4 GB |
Memory | 128/ 256 GB SSD | 128/256 GB SSD |
Processor | Intel Core i3,i5,i7 | Intel core i5/i7 |

Dell XPS Ultrabook Vs Asus Zen Ultrabook Price compare:
Both the ultrabook Dell Studio XPS 13– V540401IN8 and Asus Zenbook Ux31 price and Asus Zenbook Prime UX31A ultrabook price comes in not par distance as pricetag of between Rs.50k to Rs.80k. At the same time recent release from Samsung low cost ultrabook styled Samsung Chromebook also got some better features compare to above ultrabook.

Lined Envelopes (With Templates)
I've been meaning to make matching stationary for a long time and I finally took the time to do it yesterday!
As I was looking for templates for envelopes I was amazed at how difficult it was to find the different sizes I wanted, so I took apart some envelopes I had at home and traced them! I thought I would share them with you. I threw in a liner template for each one as well. Just click the little template photos and it should take you to a full-size version that you can print. :o)
The larger templates were cut in half so that you can print them easily. Once you've printed them, trace one (you don't need to trace the edge that says "flip") and then flip over to trace the other. Then fold and glue!
I hope you have fun with them! The ones photographed were all made with 12"x12" scrap booking paper, so if you have one of those great stacks of patterned paper it can be really fun to make matching color combos. Although, I think a simpler look would be lovely too. My sister-in-law suggested craft paper to me, and I love that thought. Wouldn't that be lovely? She even made some using a paper bag. Now that's cool.
Phew! It feels so good putting an idea up there that isn't a sewing project! Once in a while I step back and go "Oh yeah! There's a whole other world of crafting away from my sewing table!". I know that not all of you are sewers (sewists? Sew-mysters?) and I sometimes feel a little guilty that I don't share more non-sewing ideas.
Have a great day!!

I might try it out and change it for my own Gift Card envelopes.
ReplyDeleteI can't figure out how to print these. When I click on them, it takes me to Pinterest. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks so much for leaving a comment! I just love finding them! Comments on older posts are moderated, so if your comment doesn't show up right away, it will soon! :o)

Buy now with Amazon Payments! Learn more.
Washington is one of the most beautiful and majestic states in the union, so OF COURSE they should leverage that competitive advantage in their marketing. If there are any Washington wineries reading out there, please consider the following:
Precipitation Pinot
Snail Sancerre
Moss Merlot
Spokane On Purpose Baby Barolo
Incredibly High Cost of Living Cab
Ferry Restroom Essences Brown Blend
Still Unsure How to Pronounce Sequim Syrah
Mariners' Melancholy Merlot
Is this where those vampire movies were filmed Zin
Bits o'Renton Red
Cascadia Someday Cabernet
Remember Almost Live Raviolio
2012 "Antagonist" Syrah, Elephant Mountain Vineyard, Yakima Valley AVA 750ml 2-Pack
The 2012 Antagonist is a very concentrated wine that will deserve to see the inside of a cellar for several years. The wine's aromatics are a veritable bowl of dark and blue fruits leading with black cherries and black berries falling into plums and quince paste. Secondary aromatics of smoke and cola are accompanied by hints of wet stone, sandalwood and sweet spices. The fruit profile is nearly identical on the palate as it is aromatically with sweet dark fruits taking center stage.
Secondary and tertiary flavors run the spectrum of anise, red currants, clove and toasted bread. The wine has a generous amount of weight and volume, has a broad mid palate and finishes with layers of sweet, lush, fined grain tannins. Cellar 8–12 years.
Winery Retail Price: $90.00
Average Shipping: $15.00
Woot Shipping: (-$8.00)
Total MSRP: $97.00
Vintage: The stars were aligned and something pretty special happened in 2012. After two decidedly challenging vintages in 2010 and 2011, Mother Nature herself dressed up in her Sunday best and showed us all she had during the growing season of 2012. A slightly cool spring blossomed into one of most even growing seasons we have experienced in Eastern Washington in decades. Heat spikes even during the warmest of summer months were very manageable.
The fall brought near perfect conditions of warm sunny days coupled with our signature crisp, cool evenings. With little to no frost present until well into November, extended hang times were possible where merited. Overall, balance is the calling card for the 2012 vintage in both red and white varieties.
Winemaking: All the grapes were hand harvested at optimal maturity and hand sorted over a conveyor belt before de-stemming and then post sorted over a shaker table to remove all debris other than grapes. The grapes were only de-stemmed and gently moved to our red wine fermentors with a high percentage of whole berries. All the wine lots were cold soaked in open and closed top fermentors for four to five days prior to fermentation. Once inoculated with three types of yeast, the wine was allowed to ferment at a peak temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Daily punch downs coupled with aerative pumpovers precipitated gentle extraction.
After approximately 5–7 days of fermentation, the wines were gently pressed between 2 and 5 Brix. All the free run and press wines were separated and aged independently from one another. Primary and malolactic fermentations were completed in new and used French oak barrels. During the barrel aging process, the wine lees were stirred weekly for the first three months in addition to topping the barrels once to twice per week throughout the entire aging cycle of the wine.
Founded by legendary grape grower Jerry Bookwalter in 1983, Bookwalter Winery has a long, rich history of producing exceptional wines from some of Washington States finest vineyards. The Winery is owned and operated by second generation winemaker John Bookwalter. John and his consultant winemaker, Claude Gros, focus their efforts on high quality small production red wines.

SDTW Approves: Fresh Paint
When it comes to paint we here at the SDTW offices prefer to keep that shit Murikan' i.e Rusto, AA, and Painter's Touch. Nothing wrong with that fancy paint except it's $7 a can and you can't Houdini it.
Fresh Paint is filling the void. It's only $2.95 a can and most of the colors we've used work cover really well.
Their palette is now up to 30 colors.
Put that in your spray pipe and smoke it FRESH PAINT

Heads, The - Everybody Knows We Got Nowhere 2x12 inch
The Heads create quite a stirring dirge on Everybody Knows We Got Nowhere. One wouldn't think that the relatively aggressive and moody guitar sound of The Heads would come from the band's home of Bristol, England, a region known more for experimental techno and trip-hop artists. Much of the music from Bristol qualifies as chill-out quality; the music on this album might be called fired-up. The band sound like they're scoring a 1970s movie about a road trip across the United States, a movie with a great deal of drug ingestion and scenes of violence or confusion, one would think. The band mostly strays from traditional song structures, focusing instead on the power and feel of wailing, dirty guitars. At times the guitars suggest the sound of airplanes taking off or landing, as on "Pill Jam," which later becomes reminiscent of Vincent Gallo's cool score to his movie Buffalo '66. Samples appear randomly throughout the album's running time. A goofy narrator, a playground of children, a barking dog, and the band's chatter all add to the confused state of things. "Barcoded" is a definite highpoint. It flies out of one's speakers like a cross between Killing Joke, Brian Eno's Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy, and The Fall's fractured art rock. "Motorjam" seems to go forever without ever getting boring, as searing guitars and wobbly bass compete to form a stranglehold on the overall atmosphere. "Stab Railroad" sounds like Joy Division doing a goth impression of the Doors. The album is messy, snarled, and, for the most part, quite interesting. Clocking in at more than 70 minutes, it's a bit hard to stomach in one listen. In small doses, the album shines quite bright; in larger doses, the music overwhelms and punishes, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Only fans of hard rock will appreciate what The Heads have concocted on Everybody Knows We Got Nowhere, but those enamored with blissed-out, shaggy guitars will love this crazed ride.

i have a 98 zx2 5sp and i want the e-brake to actually work what would this take to do and a cost?
Thanks for your help
i have a 98 zx2 5sp and i want the e-brake to actually work what would this take to do and a cost?
Thanks for your help
Start at either end and work your way back.
Might as well get all the parts working right.
We have 3 cables - a short one, and one to each rear wheel.
Any fault means a new cable is needed. Good luck lubing them or fixing them for more than short period.
The brakes should be cleaned and lubed. All sorts of parts have to be free to move . Lots of areas to use a small amount of grease.
First things first, make sure your ebrake is actually adjusted correctly. just remove the console that surrounds your ebrake (2 screws), when you get that off just tighten the nut (there is only one) and keep checking if your ebrake has more tension. This fixed my ebrake problem and took me 10 minutes. If tightening the nut doesn't work (You need to tighten it A LOT) then you probably have a snapped cable or some other problem. Don't tighten it too much though because you will snap the cable
Cost: Ten minutes of your life
Find out what is wrong and fix it.
If you only adjust the cable, and it sticks locked up, pry the E brake lever back [on the backing plate] with a screwdriver to release it.
First see if the cables work freely. Then check the rear brakes for condition and adjustment is correct.
Check the parking brake adjuster/lever and the return springs.
Just tightening the cable will do nothing if the rear brakes are not in good condition.
Using the parking brake also adjusts the rear brakes.
You don't actually need to take the console off. I never have, anyway. Just grab a 10mm deep well socket and an extension. Push aside the boot around the handle on the driver's side of it and you should see the threaded end of the cable with the nut.
If memory serves, the actual spec is something like 20 lbs of force (to pull the handle up, not on the nut) at the 7th notch up. Maybe it was higher, not sure. But that'll get you in the ballpark.

Can I use any thermostat I want? I don't like the Warmup 'stat so have got another but then the fitter wonders whether they are compatible? Logic says they should be but don't want to waste a ton. I've bought the thermotouch 4.3iC and the Warmup ProWire heater. Neither company will commit to saying it will or won't work.
If the thermotouch comes with it's own floor probe, I would say it's fine. I wouldn't think it a good idea to swap probes and stats around.
It does come with it's own probe. I only have the one thermostat so I'm not in a position to try different stats unfortunately!
Check the probe resistances between the units, to be honest they're probably going to be the same but you do need to be sure, providing the mat loads are within the controllers rating and the probe is ok then its unlikely to be a problem. (You can check this on the data sheets usually available online)
No. I don't think testing the probe is going to matter two hoots. Its the mat resistance that is measured. All the probe is for is temperature sensor, it will work if its supplied with the stat so its calibrated to it. All this fuss over compatibility is wasted.
Yeah, Scrap that, I didn't read the original question properly. OP, the controller just turns the mat on and off, use the probe that came with it and it'll be fine.
Vincenoir, What have you got against the Warmup stat? They do various models of stat, a touch screen and a standard analogue one. I generally fit the touch screen type as it is very popular, especially now that they are available in different colours. Snezza.
The reviews aren't glowing. I've read a few times it comes on way before its supposed to being the main one.
I have fitted WarmUp stats and had no negative feedback from them. I think that they activate intentionally before the set time to allow for a warm up period and give the floor time to reach temperature. Its in the instructions, you know, the ones that nobody reads. Remember that floors aren't instant heat! So the early start is built in. The problem with reviews is you can get flawed complaints from people who think that the mat heats instantly and turns off instantly like a wall heater. So IMHO the 'reviews' are flawed because they don't understand the principle of this type of heating. If you need the floor to be at, say 30 degrees it would take a good hour to reach that temperature so there is no point setting it to come on at 7.30am and expecting it to be hot! It will come on at 6.30am and be at the required temperature at 7.30am.
Try explaining that to a women!, my wife thinks that because the UFH is set for 0600 on, it should be warm at that time........ I actually set it for a 0430 on!-the stats do the rest.
Manufacturers Instructions all the way..............................Deviate..............................Your Gamble ( or stupidity )
and then there's the wife who (while I was away) turned the mixer valve stat u that's exactly right - as long as the area covered by the loosewire doesn't exceed the switching capacity of the controller 3600w for the controller - 150w/m² output from the loosewire
Some standard heating controllers also do this, bringing the boiler on early. Many people HATE this, feeling they're not in control. Fare enough really! This feature can be turned off on many controllers, but it does not appear so with the warmup one. Incidentally, warm up controllers do have settings for three different ratins of typical probes, 10Kohm, 12Kohm, 15Kohm. This allows their stats to be retrofitted to other systems if you are unable to replace probe. You should always install probe in such a way that you can remove it to replace. It's the first thing to fail.
With the Warm-Up system, they send a length of black corrugated conduit in the kit that has to be recessed into the floor and it protects the probe wire and also allows for the probe to be replaced, as it is a loose fit in the conduit. There are no excuses not to fit everything correctly as Warm-Up give you all that is needed. I've fitted loads of the Warm-Up UFH and so far (Touch wood !) I have never had any problems with their probes. Snezza.
I like to bring that flexi conduit up into a flushed box at low level, and have conduit from there upto the stat vertically above. The lower flush box can have the FCU, and I often then simply run some 1.5mm 3C and E upto the stat. The mat tails connected at the FCU, the sw live in a terminal block.
