As we bring our animated themed Batman Month to a close, it's time to look at the episodes that shined a spotlight on the titular hero himself. So, for our final list, these are the best Batman focused episodes!
A special note, since I know people will bring it up: Yes, I'm aware that the film Mask of the Phantasm is a great look into this Batman's head, and since it was a film based on this show, it could count. But this is about episodes of the series. And without further ado…
13. Legends of the Dark Knight
Late one night, a trio of kids are walking the streets of Gotham on the trail of an arsonist, with the hopes of catching Batman in the act of apprehending the criminal. As they continue on the way, the kids start trading theories and stories about what they think Batman is like. As a result, we get a 50's style encounter with the Joker based on the stories by Bill Finger and Dick Sprang (complete with giant props), and one really well-done adaption of Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns. In the end, the kids get to see the real Batman face the arsonist, who turns out to be Firefly, but even afterwards, they still argue over what he's like. This was a great tribute episode to Batman's legacy over the years, and it even has a veiled "take that" directed at Joel Schumacher for his interpretation of Batman. How could you go wrong with that?
12. The Underdwellers
A lot of fans will be confused why I put this early episode on the list. In it, Batman spots small people in green hooded capes stealing from people on the street. These are the Underdwellers, a community of runaway and/or abandoned children being kept underground by the sinister Sewer King. The Sewer King is cruel and abusive, forcing the children to work and steal for him as he starves them. If they speak, he shoves them in a room with bright light (painful to their eyes from living underground), and he has his pet crocodiles as additional incentive. Granted, the episode gets a bit awkward in the middle when Batman brings one of the kids back home for Alfred to look after, but when the kid leads him to the Sewer King's lair… Let's just say Batman does not like people who abuse children. In fact, that's why it's on this list. In the end, when Batman captures the Sewer King, he tells him just how tempted he is to break his vow to not kill. Not even Joker got that line in the series, but the Sewer King did.
11. The Forgotten
When both homeless people and volunteers are disappearing from the area around a shelter that Bruce Wayne volunteers at, he decides to dye his hair white and investigate in disguise as a transient. When the kidnappers manage to get the drop on him, he wakes up in a canyon where an overweight man is using the homeless as slave labor for his gold mine. Making matters worse: the blow to his head has given Bruce amnesia. There's a real interesting feel to this episode, it reminds me of the movie Cool Hand Luke. Plus, we get to see Bruce without his resources, memories, completely on his own. I always enjoy when a story places the hero in an unusual situation. Plus, this has one of the best "I've regained my memories" sequences ever.
10. Blind as a Bat
Wayne Enterprises has built a brand new helicopter, complete with a sonar based visual system for seeing in less than stellar conditions. Penguin attacks and manages to steal the vehicle, causing an explosion that renders Bruce Wayne temporarily blind. Unwillingly to wait for his vision to return, Batman adapts the sonar tech to his cowl to give him bat-like vision, leading to a dog fight over Gotham between Penguin's new toy and the Batwing. But when both vehicles go down and the cowl's vision fails, Batman must take on Penguin completely blind. Again, I enjoy seeing Batman put in strange new conditions, and it's cool to see him with the glowing red eyes that the sonar vision gives him.
9. His Silicon Soul
First, a little backstory: before this episode, there was a two-parter called Heart of Steel. In it, Gordon and several others were being replaced with robot doubles created by an evil computer called Hardac. Batman managed to stop them, destroying Hardac, but the audience was shown that Hardac had managed to figure out Bruce Wayne was Batman, and that it made one last, unseen robot double before it was destroyed. In this episode, we find that the double was of Batman himself. This copy has the original's memories, and even his personality, but hidden inside him is the Hardac program as well. Initially, the copy thinks he's the real Batman whose mind has been transplanted into a machine, but when the Hardac program takes over, he attempts to resurrect the evil AI inside the Batcomputer. The real Batman and his double have an epic fight, even resulting in a half-Batman half-Terminator face for the copy. But when the copy thinks he's killed Batman, the morality inside him wakes up and he destroys the computer and himself to save the city. As Batman puts it, maybe his copy had a soul in spite of its artificial origins. I just like this episode for having a Batman vs. Batman fight, and showing that having the mind of Batman is a powerful influence towards good.
8. Appointment in Crime Alley
Evil businessman Roland Dagget wants to demolish Park Row, the area of Gotham more commonly known as Crime Alley. When the city refuses to give him what he wants, Dagget resorts to planning to blow the whole area and make it look like an accident. Unfortunately, he chose to do this on the night that Batman always visits the area every year. This episode introduced Dr. Leslie Thompkins, the woman who was there for him when his parents died, but the main reason that this is on this list is that as the night wears on, we see what Batman does normally when he doesn't have some special case happening. This includes stopping home invasions, dealing with a hostage situation, and saving a runaway trolly. While there is a plot going on with saving the innocent people who happen to live in the slum that Crime Alley has become from Dagget's scheme, it's also a great "night in the life of Batman" episode.
7. Dreams in Darkness
Batman is in Arkham Asylum, suffering from hallucinations and waking nightmares. He tries desperately to explain to the staff that his condition was caused by Scarecrow, who's plotting a major fear gas attack on Gotham from within the asylum. As the Dark Knight escapes his cell, he'll have to contend with his own suffering sanity as he tries to stop Scarecrow. People may have noticed that I didn't include Scarecrow on my villains' list. It's mainly because while he's been involved in some good episodes, he's never the focus. Instead, like this one, the focus is often on whoever he hits with his fear toxins. And watching the nightmare Batman faces as he goes after Scarecrow is a great look at the fears brewing in the Dark Knight's subconsciousness.
6. Night of the Ninja/Day of the Samurai
This is kind of cheating, as these two episodes were separated by most of a season. However, I always see them as two parts of a unique story for Batman, thanks in no small part to their villain. In Night of the Ninja, Wayne Enterprises is suffering attacks and robberies by the aforementioned ninja. When Batman and Robin confront the black-suited figure, his tunic rips, and Batman recognizes the tattoo underneath. The ninja is Kyodai Ken, a fellow student of the same master in Japan who Bruce trained under. Kyodai always hated Bruce for being a rich man's son, but his hatred grew vengeful when Bruce caught him attempting to steal their master's ancestral sword. Disgraced and driven out, Kyodai swore revenge. What's worse is that Kyodai Ken is the only person that Bruce Wayne has never beaten in a fight, and even as Batman he's not sure if he can beat him. When the ninja kidnaps Bruce Wayne and reporter Summer Gleeson for his final revenge, our hero can't fight at full strength without jeopardizing his secret in front of the reporter. Robin manages to arrive and drop a tarp on Summer, allowing Bruce to fight at full-strength and finally defeat his old rival. This ends up setting the stage for the next encounter in Day of the Samurai. In this one, Kyodai returns to Japan and kidnaps the new star pupil of their sensei, threatening to kill her if he doesn't get the location of the secret technique that can kill a man with one blow. Bruce returns to Japan, knowing that Kyodai has figured out that he's Batman from their last encounter. As Bruce tries to stop Kyodai, he's confronted by the question: is Batman just as dark and unscrupulous as a ninja, or is he a dark samurai? The final battle, on the slopes of an active volcano, is epic. I love these two episodes and this villain because each time the ninja appeared, Batman had to question something about his value. Those are interesting moments for a good hero.
5. Perchance to Dream
Bruce Wayne wakes up one morning to discover that the Batcave isn't there, Alfred has no clue what he's talking about when he asks about it, and then most shockingly, his parents are alive. Initially Bruce thinks he's going mad, but as he spends time, he learns that his parents never died, he's the playboy billionaire head of their company, he's engaged to Selina Kyle (who has never been Catwoman), and most surprisingly, there is a Batman running around Gotham keeping it safe. A visit to Leslie Thompkins suggests that Bruce had a deeply layered, vivid dream about being Batman because he felt that he's accomplished nothing in his life. Bruce decides to accept this, and live the life he's always wanted with his family and loved ones. But as more things happen that make him question this reality, he runs off on his own to wake from this strange dream, leading to a battle between Bruce Wayne and Batman at the top of a cathedral. I'm not going to ruin the surprise of what's happening or who's behind it, but seeing Batman trapped in his heart's desire makes for a great episode.
4. The Cape and Cowl Conspiracy
Batman's looking for Wormwood the Interrogator, a man who lures people into death traps and spares them if they give him what he wants, who has stolen bearer bonds from a government agent. To this end, the Dark Knight threatens the Baron, a European noble/criminal. The Baron then hires Wormwood to get Batman's cape and cowl in retribution. Wormwood is intrigued by the challenge of breaking Batman, and why his client wants the cape and cowl. The Baron wants to know why he stole the bonds. Neither man answers, and what follows is Batman being led into death trap after death trap. I'm not going to spoil the end, but this was the episode where I realize that Batman was not just a cool superhero, but crazy awesome too.
3. Beware the Grey Ghost
A mad bomber is somehow blowing up buildings in Gotham, despite security sweeps assuring there are no bombs prior to the explosion. Batman realizes that the situation reminds him of an episode of the Grey Ghost, a superhero tv series he watched with his father as a child. As such, Batman tracks down Simon Trent, the actor who played the hero and got typecast as a result. Trent's a broken man, at the end of his rope with no work. After his encounter with Batman, Trent suits up in his old costume and helps him out, even getting to see the Batcave, which to his surprise is just the Grey Ghost's lair. We even get a moment where Batman shows that he still has his Grey Ghost collection from his childhood, and that the character was an influence on Batman as a hero, showing that some good came from Trent's portrayal after all. Again, I'm not spoiling this episode's ending, but it's great. I love this episode so much. We get to see Batman team up with the man who influenced him so much as a hero. Also, the Grey Ghost is voiced by Adam West, the first iconic Batman, making this a great passing of the torch.
2. Nothing to Fear
This was the first Scarecrow episode, and featured him attacking Gotham University in retaliation for being fired for his sick fear experiments. At the same time, Bruce Wayne is feeling down when one of the university professors tells him that his father would be ashamed of how Bruce has ruined the family name with his idiotic playboy antics. When Batman faces the Scarecrow for the first time, he gets a dark full of fear toxin, causing him to see his father who tells him that he's a disgrace to the family. As the Dark Knight tries to stop the Scarecrow, he has to face this fear. I know it seems weird to put this so high on the list, but it's because of one scene in particular, the most quoted scene in Batman history. As Batman dangles from Scarecrow's blimp for dear life, the hallucination father appears again, now more demonic as it rages against Bruce being a disgrace, leading Batman to yell "You are not my father! I am not a disgrace! I am vengeance! I am the night! I! Am! BATMAN!" And yes, it's every bit as epic as you can imagine.
1. I Am the Night
On the anniversary of his parents' death, Batman is feeling burnt out, like it doesn't matter how hard he fights because the war never ends. When Commissioner Gordon is shot by the criminal known as the Jazzman, due to Batman being late to the sting, Bruce decides to quit being a hero, because it doesn't mean anything anymore. But when the Jazzman escapes jail with plans to finish Gordon off in the hospital, the Batman must head out one more time. I love these kinds of stories, where the hero has to rediscover the will to keep fighting, and this is an epic one. It has the angst, turmoil and triumph that Batman is associated with and that's why it's the greatest Batman episode in the series ever!
As we conclude Batman Month this year, I know some of your favorites may not have appeared on these lists. I understand, but I was working with themed lists. I assure you, your favorites are just as valid as mine. After all, this was one of the best cartoons ever. All the episodes were well done. So maybe this Halloween, instead of the scary movie, why not marathon the Dark Knight's animated adventures instead?

Today's technology and demands from users like yourself often
find us trying to do more with less. We all know that our IT departments are under severe
pressure to deliver more services, faster and more efficient than
ever before. One way to alleviate these pressures is to collocate
your equipment in a trusted Data Center.
What exactly is colocation?
Merriam-Webster defines this as: to locate together; especially:
to place (two or more units) close together so as to share common
How does CHR define colocation? Two elements sum it up fairly
How does this work?
Companies own and maintain their own equipment, but share the
cost of power, communications, cooling, and floor space with anyone
else that collocates in the same Data Center. So you ask
"How does this save me money?" Your IT staff will
not have the worry of taking care of that equipment because CHR can
do that for you as well. Any problems will be taken care of by us,
freeing up your employees to focus on more important items and
helping the company be proactive on other interests.
Others will use colocation for another purpose.
REDUNDANCY! Your data is very important to how you

How can a small business achieve measurable success and consistent ROI using social media marketing on a budget? oGoing founder Sanjay Dalal presents seven steps to social media success.
Small businesses are beginning to launch and grow their social media initiatives. These companies need guidance and education on how to create an effective social media strategy, navigate the social networks, manage customer interactions, analyze the results, and achieve consistent ROI.

oGoing presents the Seven Steps to Success with Social Media Marketing for Small Business guide:
What does the business want to gain from social media marketing initiatives? What is the key objective? Is it to increase qualified leads, deliver better customer service, get more business, create a great brand, obtain better reviews or gain more trust? If the business is starting out on social media, it will take a lot of effort and time to undertake multiple objectives simultaneously. Ask the marketing manager or owner what their immediate goals are! Be very specific about the social media marketing objectives.
It's easy to fall in the trap of creating profiles on multiple social media channels, and then forgetting about them. Just having a profile is like an empty store front. No customer would dare go there. Social media is all about engagement. Each social media channel takes at least 4 to 6 hours of management every week. A business needs to be judicious of the time and resources, and start out with one or two social media channels. Creating a beautiful profile that exemplifies the business and gets customers excited is the first step.
Ask this question: "Who are our customers and what can we learn from what they are saying and doing?" Most of the business' customers would already be using social media. It's easy to find these customers (search for them), and see what's going on. The business also needs to think about "Who are the customers' customers?" In short, a business must take the time to learn about the customers' needs, and understand the customers' perceptions. The business should also learn how the partners are using social media, what the experts are saying and the industry trends.
It's time to connect! Once the business has determined who the customers, prospects, partners and experts are, it should begin connecting with them. Connect slowly! It may not make sense to connect with competing customers at the same time. It's best to follow a few customers, and engage well with them. Are more connections better? Just connecting with many users without real engagement does not yield promising results. Do not get caught up in the game of buying new followers or fans for the social channels - most of the paid connections are inactive users and the business will not materially benefit from them. Quality of connections matter a lot, not the quantity.
Promote the customers, ask customers for feedback, and provide answers to questions. Once a business begins listening and following the customers, the managers should share what their customers are saying. Promote the customers' updates. Respond to customers' messages. Get feedback about the products and services from the customers. Ask questions from customers about their updates and begin a conversation. Whenever possible, answer the customers' questions immediately and frequently. Engage with the customers! The more a business engages with their customers and prospects online, the better the ROI.
Ask this question: "What do your customers want to learn from you?" Are customers seeing and treating the business as the subject matter or industry expert? Does the business have something interesting, inspiring and useful to share that will get them excited? Customers do not have the time to check your business updates, stories, product briefs and services daily. Customers have their own businesses to run. Customers want something that can help them do better business, and the job of social media managers is to provide this information. This is where the rubber meets the road.
Did the business realize the aforementioned social media goals? If the business followed through on the six success steps above, it would achieve most of the said objectives. How does one achieve all the goals? It's quite simple: Do more of what's working. Correct what's not. Be nimble! Social media is a fast-changing paradigm. It pays to be creative, and if a business has to start all over again, that's fine! The best barometer for success: Are the customers engaged?

It's one piece of the marketing puzzle.4. Socia media profiles doesn't equal all of marketing either. Social networks help you connect where your customers are.5. Your blog allows you to share original thought-provoking content and generate further interest from your customers.
These are some of your assets in your marketing mix, and you need to be fully aware of how they fit in the overall digital marketing strategy.

Many Small Business Owners, Proprietors and Entrepreneurs are using social networking to create their social media profiles, share and promote updates about their products and services, make new online connections, get warm leads and grow their brand! Millions, if not billions, of potential customers are using social media every day! Thus there are plenty of incentives for small businesses to jump right in... What are some of the reasons small businesses are joining and marketing their company through social media? 1. It's inexpensive - well, technically it's free! However, free doesn't mean the time, expertise and resources it takes to create a beautiful profile and manage it well. It can take few hours a week at a minimum if owners want social media to yield results! 2. It's easy to use - again, easy for the most part. Most businesses still don't know how to connect or follow or engage with potential customers. The easy part is creating a profile and sharing a few updates. The hard part is getting customers to notice what you are saying. 3. My customers (and competitors) use social media - go where your customers are! The key is finding the customers, connecting with them and engaging with them to establish trust and credibility. And look out for competitors as they poach the same customers. 4. It doesn't take a lot of time - This is what small businesses think as they begin their social media journey. The reality is different... managing just one social network, sharing frequent updates, promoting customers and asking questions can easily take four to six hours a week. What are the reasons you are joining social networks? Are you seeing some traction? Have you made new connections? oGoing Small Business Social Media Network is great for small businesses to build trusted connections, promote products and services, generate website traffic, grow SEO ranking and attract new customers. Check out oGoing today!
Question: What is the Best Time to Post on Social Networks?
Answer: It depends on when your customers are frequenting the social networks. (this requires some research and learning) Anecdotal Rule of Thumb: Mornings before 10 am. Afternoons between 1 to 3 pm. And Evening times depend on what network. However, your customers may be the late night audience, and are only logging in after 9 pm. In that case, you better have your posts pre-scheduled to show up after 9 pm... Or stay up and post them yourself. Here is further evidence that could dispute what I just said earlier:
Facebook: Traffic is highest between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. ET.
Best time: Between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. ET
Worst time: 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. ET
Best time: 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. ET or 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. ET
Worst time: 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. ET
Best time: 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. ET or 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. ET
Worst time: 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. ET
Best time: 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. ET
Worst time: 8 p.m. to 9 a.m. ET
Best time: 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. ET
Worst time: 6 p.m. to 8 a.m. ET
Best time: 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. PT
Worst time: After 8 p.m. PT

Sincere regards,Sanjay Dalalfounder / CEO, oGoing
Business Owners, Entrepreneurs and Small Business Service Providers are growing their sales with social media. Key benefits of social media include attracting and engaging with more customers on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, YouTube, oGoing, blogs and more.
"Social Media provides businesses an unprecedented direct communication with customers! Using social media, a business directly informs their clients about what's going on, promotes new offers and services, and provides customer service; the clients freely express with the company their experiences, ask questions and provide direct feedback in a public setting. This level of intimacy and engagement hasn't been achieved before," Sanjay Dalal, founder & CEO, oGoing.
oGoing is the nation's fastest growing small business social media marketing network. Thousands of Business Owners, Entrepreneurs and Small Business Service Providers are using oGoing to generate warm leads, attract new customers, promote products and services, share deals, and engage with clients directly.
oGoing presents 5 social media tips and best practices for a business to attract more customers using social media marketing:
Take time to know your customers through social networks. Stand in their shoes. Learn more about their business. Ask the question: "What are their needs?" Find them, and Search their social media updates. Learn more about the customer's customers. The more knowledgeable one becomes about the customer's business, the more products and services the business can ultimately offer to them.
After determining who the customers are, a business must take the logical next step: Connect or Follow them! Once connected, most social media networks share a live news feed of the following user's updates. Thus, when a business is logged in, they see latest news stories about their customers. Reading what's going on provides greater understanding of the customers' current situation, needs and events.
Reading the customers' updates and gaining further knowledge about them are important first steps. Next step is to begin engaging with the customers. The best way: Reply to their updates and Ask questions. When a business responds to what their customers are saying, and begins a conversation, that's when engagement begins. Social media is all about "live" conversations. Besides replying publicly, a business can also ask direct questions to solicit a response, reply privately or send a direct message for further intimacy.
Often times, owners and marketers forget that social media marketing is not so much about promoting their own business; rather, it's more about promoting their customers. This simple fact changes how well engaged the customers are. When the company takes on the onus of promoting their customers, the returns are tangible and immediate. What customer doesn't like a public promotion in the form of a mention, sharing of their updates, or recommendation?
After establishing a solid relationship with customers and prospects on social media, a business can begin to transform this engagement into leads. Social media cannot be an off and on affair. It has be an always on campaign. Hence, a business must frequently login to social media networks and engage with their clients on a daily basis. When the time's right, ask the customers for new referrals and share with them new offers.
oGoing welcomes new businesses and marketers to join oGoing, connect with members, and promote what's going on. oGoing provides a powerful social media marketing network for small business that increases website traffic, improves SEO ranking, generates warm leads and attracts new customers.

Cosmetic Bonding
Cosmetic bonding is an affordable, quick and painless way to repair many cosmetic flaws or injuries, including gaps, stains and chips. Bonding sculpts individual teeth with no or very little structure removed. This technique bonds a composite material that looks, acts and feels like the real thing, to an existing tooth. This procedure usually doesn't require the use of an anesthetic and is relatively quick to apply. It gives an immediate result and is less expensive than veneers.

I always have a tan and therefore I have a dark skin tone and this duo blush is perfect to even out any bloches or imperfections
This blush is super cute! They're not extremely pigmented but they are still super nice on the cheeks!
Essence is a very low cost cosmetics collection that retails most of its products for under $5. They put out 'collections' every month or so and I personally find their eyeshadows and nail polish quite good. This is a duo 'peach' toned blush in a paper heart shaped box. The colour is a little light, but better that than being heavy saturated and going on too dark. There's another colour with a much brighter pink the box in the collection.
These reviews are the subjective opinions of ChickAdvisor members and not of ChickAdvisor Inc.

A very simple function body will (in terms of percentage) have larger function overhead. With a slightly more complex function body, the body will takes much more time than the function call overhead. > What is the recommended way to factorize the > code? Should I write a big method containing everything? Look in the absolute numbers: 0.666 CPU seconds vs. 0.248 CPU seconds over 1000000 loops means if you put everything into one big method you'll only save 418 nanoseconds per loop. Even over 1000000 loops; you only save 0.418 seconds. Is it worth optimizing? > ----Profiles test1 > Profiles results: > 1000003 function calls in 0.666 CPU seconds > > ----Profile test2: > 3 function calls in 0.248 CPU seconds I got a more striking difference: 5.291 CPU seconds vs 0.589 CPU seconds. But knowing how the profiler works, this is to be expected. Function call overhead become much (and I mean much) heavier with profiler ON. I get a more sane result with timing manually: import time start = time.time() test1(t) print time.time() - start start = time.time() test2(t) print time.time() - start It's 1.186 vs 0.608, which is blink of an eye vs. blink of an eye.

The company claims that more than 200 million cartridges have been manufactured using the process since it was piloted in 2005.
The process combines multiple sources and grades of recycled plastics, from everyday water bottles to hi-tech HP inkjet cartridges.
Each cartridge comprises 70 to 100 percent recycled material and outperforms used or refilled cartridges, according to the company.
Customers can return used inkjet cartridges for free through HP's recycling programme.
The initiative is restricted to HP cartridges and will not apply to alternative inkjet cartridge brands.
"By developing the technology to use recycled plastics in original HP inkjet print cartridges, we can reduce the environmental impact HP products have on the planet," said Michael Hoffmann, senior vice president for HP's printing group.
"HP's considerable investment in building a recycling infrastructure made this achievement possible, and this is just the beginning of what we hope to accomplish."
HP goes green with recycled cartridges

Happy to see Preaubert in second place! I would like him to get another trip to worlds (Amodio is not a favourite of mine).
No comment really on dance, 'cause it's what's expected, I guess.

... were you angry? I'm finding myself getting more and more angry the more research I do... And I mean REALLY angry - DH's cousin said something to me the other day and I almost went up one side of her and down the other.
Like, for example, epidurals. They're routine, and safe - at least, that is what they say. Oh, but what is this?
Phentenol, the drug used in epidurals, is an opiate 100 times more powerful than morphine and 300 times stronger than heroin. It is given in a dose that, if given directly to your child, would cause severe brain damage IF it didn't kill them. And for up to 6 weeks following the birth, because your baby's liver can't process the complex chemicals, they'll exhibit the signs of heroin or morphine use.
Say WHAT?!?!?
Or the Group B Strep test and IV antibiotics given to 1 in 3 women. Only 1 in 12000 babies will be born with the condition, and it is rare for a baby who wasn't subjected to the IV antibiotics to be untreated after a simple course of their OWN antibiotics? But it can cause fatal superbugs and allergic reactions in mommies who are allergic to penicillin, like me. Mhmmm...
Am I the only one who is getting angry that I was never told any of this? Am I just over reacting, or is it crazy that women out there get shunned and scolded for a sip of red wine during pregnancy, but high doses of morphine or phentenol during labor are perfectly acceptable?
Should the public not be more aware of the real risks and side effects of these things, and instead of condemning mommies who smoke or take a sip of beer or drive down a bumpy road, start making it more known that vaccines, routine GBS IV antibiotics, routine epidurals and other drugs are MORE dangerous and cause MORE harm???
I'm sorry, I've tried to quit smoking - and every time I do, I vomit NONSTOP until I have a ciggarette. Not even kidding. Vomiting for hours on end, unable to even keep water down, until I smoke. I've had friends and family GIVING me cigarettes because they want me to stop throwing up.
And I get chastised for choosing FOOD for my baby over quitting smoking, by the very same women who will think nothing of getting a big ol' shot of morphine (essentially medicinal heroin) in the *** during their labor, as many times as they ask for it.
Isn't something wrong here????
Big huge hugz and thanks to tasha_mae for my beautiful siggy!

Discussion in 'Starting a Lawn Care Business' started by Full throttle lawn care, Mar 27, 2006.
What do you guys think?
Personally, I think it looks too much like a cartoon and makes me think that someone is recklessly speeding around on the lawn. Again, this is just my first impression of it and my opinion only.
I know this logo breaks the mold to the typical Ben & jerrys lawn care but I wanted to stand out from the crowd and just maybe put a smile on someones face.
Mmm,......I don't know. With a name like "Full Throttle", and based on a service business, there may be some bad connotation there. If it were a racing team, or a speed shop or something, I could perhaps see it. I DO like the graphics, though! It's pretty cool, and this logo is NOT going to break you. I mean, you are not going to shut down just because of your logo. You can definitely make this a go.
i think he needs a work hat, maybe a work T shirt.
reminds of Greenmonster's logo at first glance.
he added a hat, shirt, and some boots to the monster/lizard... it works in the service aspect of the logo (on top of it riding a mower).
like the the gator is serviceing the yard, instead of eating the landscaper then stealing his mower
could use alittle tweaking, but pretty cool, and definitely original.
Uh huh, so what image do you want to portray? For a logo, which is likely to be associated with the nature of the business, I'm with the other guys in thinking that there may be a caveat here.
When you see a Nascar automobile with tons of advertising logos on them there is generally one predominant sponsor's logo, such as Tide, or Penzzoil, or Quaker State… How would it be if you kept the very nice graphics on your trailer or truck, but just make it minor to a logo that's a hair more tame?
IMO... I'll credit the artwork... it's definately good. But if you wanna put smiles on peoples faces... you might wanna loose the croc's teeth.... he looks mean and ready to eat someone.
You'd be crazy NOT to use that! Its PERFECT!!! And if you don't want it, can I have it? That is EXACTLY what I have been looking for brother!
It does appears that I'm tearing the grass up a little and people just might think if you call me I'll do the same to your grass. So to put peoples minds at ease I'm now offering a LOVE YOUR LAWN PACKAGE! It's in the paper but I have know clue whats in the package yet. LOL
BUMP!!!! Any more? It's looking like a toss up?

The Caribbean isles always are a lovely place to spend our holiday, especially inside of a tropical Caribbean home design. We love tropical country, and we always praise its amazing atmosphere that makes our holiday worth to spend. The Dominican Republic is one of some Caribbean countries that become famous for holiday, and for this reason there are so many cool holiday homes being built on that nation. One good example of it comes from the mind of Studio A-cero, a native architectural studio that built the magnificent home as shown below.
This unique Caribbean home design plans is a holiday home for anyone who loves to spend their free days in tropical country. The home was been a permanent residence, before being converted into a facility that fulfill all the people's needs in holiday, other than just in usual day. The home is so unique with curved walls and slabs, which reminds us to the skate park in the middle of city. It is perfected by the reflected light that creates a wonderful effect to the facade, effectively makes the home more attractive to see.
The exterior living areas features a zero-entry pool that modeled like a beach, enhance the tropical design style. Some beautiful outdoor seating areas with wicker sofas and benches is available around it, located on pure white sand that reminds us to the most beautiful beach in the world. You can always use this place for sunbathing or to gather with the family, discussing your holiday vacation while enjoying the unforgettable moment in this beautiful villa.
The interior is spacious and elegant, decorated in modern style. White and cream are two colors that always appear in the interior design, making a bright and comfortable appearance in it. The modern furniture and the cozy living space create a wonderful part to relax in this Caribbean home design ideas, making it even more wonderful to stay.

This type of window covering is perhaps one of the most practical and fastest way of changing the appearance of a room. In just a matter of short time, this type of window covering will give you the many benefits that you can enjoy such as :
1) The window blinds will allow you to have more control in terms of how much brightness you want in the room. By adjusting the slats, you will be able to get the perfect amount of natural light that you want in the room. In case you want to enjoy a theatre like ambience while watching a movie, the slats of the window blinds are tightly fitted so you can enjoy a dark theatre like ambience in an instant.
2) There are just so many styles and colors that are available for you to choose from. Each of the primary color has different shades to suit your fancy. For instance, the primary color white has bone white to dirty white shades. Then in terms of the style of the window blinds, you also have the option to choose among mini, roman, and there is also a cordless style that is very safe for kids and pets to prevent getting tangled.
3) The window blinds also come in different materials. For example, if your home is primarily composed of wooden furniture and you want to stick to that look, then you can choose the one that is made from wood.

City firms just can't get enough of ripping off dodgy TV formats, it seems.
After the glory of Linklaters' 'LinkIdol' and the tantrums and tiaras of 'Strictly Come Freshfields' (both of which have been well documented in Tulkinghorn), Berwin Leighton Paisner (BLP) staged its own version of Stars In Their Eyes.
And of course, one of Tulkinghorn's scribes was in attendance to note down all the incriminatory evidence – sorry, sterling performances.
An honourable mention goes to corporate head John Bennett, who appeared resplendent in a sequin boob-tube. While he may look like an extra from Frankie Goes to Hollywood, in fact Bennett was crossing genders in an eye-watering impression of Pink. He certainly gave a new meaning to the lyric: "I'm coming out…."
Another honourable mention goes to construction assistant Gareth Stringer, who impressed the ladies with his impression of The Killers' Brandon Flowers – if conversation in the loos was anything to go by.
But perhaps the finest effort of the evening was put on by head of recruitment Jonathan Brenner, who came dressed as managing partner Neville Eisenberg doing Joseph, complete with technicolour dreamcoat and a T-shirt emblazoned with 'Neville' on the front.
The lyrics were as sharp as his impression, and a neat summary of BLP's hiring policy. Behold:"Neville jigged a merry dance When he raided Clifford Chance If you're good be sure we'll come and find you You will leave your overdraft behind you."
Tulkinghorn couldn't have put it better himself. conference.

Odense: Iranian priest attacked for displaying cross
Kristeligt Dagblad
The Iranian-born head of the Church of Love, Massoud Fouroozandeh, fled with his family from the Odense district of Vollsmose to a little a secret location in a small town, after the two of the family's cars were smashed since they had a cross hanging inside.
"I was told by young people in Vollsmose that I shouldn't drive around the area with the cross hanging in the car. Afterward our car was completely smashed up and burned and the seats slashed. Since then the side-windows of our new car were smashed three times," he says.
After the vandalism, Massoud Fouroozandeh and his wife didn't dare let their children play in the playground in Vollsmose.

Thirty out of 50 writers speaking at the Festival of Asian Literature are women, an impressive change from the London event's launch in 2007 when only two women were involved.
Literary focus on females
Thirty out of 50 writers speaking at this year's Festival of Asian Literature are female, an impressive change from the London event's launch in 2007 when only two women were involved, writesHuma Qureshi
This year's Festival of Asian Literature, which opens in London later this month, has two reasons to celebrate. Not only is the festival entering its fifth year, but of 50 acclaimed writers speaking at it, 30 are women.
At a time when the lack of women contributing on panels and debates is being questioned by the British media (a study by the Guardian found an alarming lack of women being asked to take part in panel discussions on radio, television and organised events), the Festival of Asian Literature appears to have redressed the balance.
The director, Adrienne Loftus Parkins, says it's about time, too. "There have been notable books coming from women in Asia for a long time, and it's time we took notice."
When the Festival of Asian Literature was launched in 2007, there were only two female writers involved - the Indian author Kiran Desai and the Chinese novelist Xiaolu Guo. In 2008, there were three. Now there are 30, including the Pakistani novelist Kamila Shamsie, the Iranian writer Kamin Mohammedi and the Vietnamese writer Kim Thuy. What's changed?
Loftus Parkins says it's down to a growing interest in new female voices from across pan-Asia.
"There are already several well-known, predominantly south Asian women writing in the UK, such as Kamila Shamsie and Moni Mohsin, who might be considered the forerunners of Asian feminist literature," she says. "But the difference is now, there seem to be so many new female voices from all across Asia, vibrant voices, who are getting attention, publishing books and winning awards. Of course, there have been strong women writing throughout Asia for a long time. But we are seeing more work from Asia in general, and many publishers have taken an interest in work by women."
Publishing in the western world remains a largely male-dominated industry but the gender divide is more pronounced across Asia, with some critics referring to the south Asian literary scene as a "boys' club". But slowly, a shift has been taking place.
Kali for Women, India's first feminist publishing house, was founded in 1984 specifically to publish and promote female writers. After it launched, a further three women's groups in Pakistan similarly dedicated themselves to publishing fiction and non-fiction produced by women. In the UK, the not-for-profit organisation Vaani was established to promote Asian women's writing - this year, it is publishing its second anthology of short stories.
But it's about quality writing, not quotas, as Loftus Parkins stresses. "Despite a desire to promote Asian women writers, I didn't make a conscious effort to invite mostly women to the festival. I chose the best books, and the best moderators. It just so happened that 30 are women."
The journalist Rani Singh is appearing at the festival to discuss her biography, Sonia Gandhi, and the role of women in politics in Asia. She says being a woman and of south Asian background was an "asset" for her writing the book. "My publisher was considering other male journalists as well as me when they were deciding who should write Sonia Gandhi's biography. I have a personal connection: I too am in a male-dominated industry, and like Sonia, raised two children on my own. I can feel her journey in a way that a non-south Asian man might not be able to."
Roshi Fernando and Nikita Lalwani are two of the fiction writers also appearing at this year's festival. Fernando was born and raised in the UK to Sri Lankan parents, while Lalwani was born in Rajasthan and grew up in Cardiff. Both agree that there has been a definite increase in visibility of writers either from Asia or with Asian heritage.
"There is more pluralism in terms of visible female voices for sure, which is a sign that the issues they are writing about are deemed to be of current interest to a mainstream audience," says Lalwani, whose second novel The Village will be published this summer. "It is a period of transition, and it does feel exciting to read work from that part of the world right now."
Fernando, the author of Homesick, a collection of moving short stories about the experience of Sri Lankans living in Britain, says female Asian novelists are "tenacious", adding: "We have something new and exciting to say."
But both warn of the inevitable dangers of all female, Asian writers being lumped together. "It's not possible to see Asian female writers as one homogenous mass, and each writer is very distinct from the other," says Lalwani. "Many female writers would hesitate to define themselves simply under the bracket of 'otherness'."
Despite the understandable reluctance to be placed in the same box bound by virtue of culture and gender alone, Fernando suggests there is a common thread which Asian writers share."If we are to be defined as 'Asian, female writers', then perhaps what we all have in common is a more daring perspective, free of the defining principles of post-colonial writing," she says. "As women, perhaps we can use the cultural backgrounds of our parents to create a wholly new literature."
The Asia House Festival of Asian Literature runs from May 15 to 31. For more information, visit www.festivalofasianliterature.com

You know the feeling….Friday is finally here, and you feel like you did not accomplish everything you needed to get done at work that week. You have constantly been presented with demanding work situations, for which you have felt like you have had no control over. Your stress levels have been at higher-than-ever proportions. You go home at the end of Friday, feeling utterly frustrated and exhausted – mentally, emotionally, and physically. In fact, you feel like this most days of the week. Sleep does not even help you recover anymore.

The Image and Other Stories
(Literary Masterpieces, Volume 10)
In this, his ninth collection of short stories, Isaac Bashevis Singer, perhaps the only living Yiddish writer to attract widespread critical and popular recognition, once again seduces readers into his fantastic realm of old-world Jewish mysticism. In the short author's note that prefaces the book, Singer laments the fact that modern civilization despises the old and worships the new, for he asserts that he belongs to an "old tribe," one which affirms that literature "thrives best on ancient faith, timeless hopes, and illusions." If there is a unifying theme that connects these beautifully mysterious evocations of a primitive view of reality, it is the one that Singer himself asserts in these opening notes—that is, that God and Providence are at the very essence of literature and that what we call causality is "nothing but a mask on the face of destiny." The stories are dominated by the basic paradox of man's existence: that whereas he has free choice, he is "also being led by a mysterious hand."
Nevertheless, although the underlying metaphysical structure of these stories seems to spring from Jewish folklore and medieval superstition, the actual physical events take place in the modern world. Thus, the magic of the stories is that they combine the irrational world of medieval mysticism with the rational world of modern man. Most of them emphasize the fact that they are stories; indeed, they are driven by an impulse that goes back to the beginnings of narrative itself—that something strange and unusual has happened, something which violates the expectations of everyday life.
The most-repeated structural device in the tales is the story-within-a-story. Someone comes to the narrator with a tale to tell; this primary narrator is a writer who works on a Yiddish newspaper and thus hears many bizzare stories from readers who come to him, or else he is a member of the Yiddish Writers' Club in Warsaw and thus hears stories from other writers. In many cases, the narrator is closely identified with Singer himself. The introduction to the inner "told-story" in "The Bond" is typical: "Such a thing is only possible in life, not fiction. It is just too ridiculous to be believed." The writer-narrator takes pleasure, he says, in hearing the many strange stories his readers come to tell him, stories that they often assure him will be shocking and that depict such things that the heart does not trust to the mouth. In addition to these means of receiving stories, the other primary devices Singer uses here are the introduction of an old woman storyteller named Yentl and the establishing of a folktale tone to recount allegorical or moralistic stories of the distant past.
The primary emotional theme of the stories is obsession, just as the primary metaphysical theme is the mystery of destiny out of man's control. The obsession theme is best expressed by Aunt Yentl, who says, "You get something in your head and you cannot drive it away. It keeps on boring day and night like the gnat in the brain of the cursed Titus." As is typical of Singer's previous stories, the obsession is often a sexual one in which, to cite the confession of Morris Pintchover in "Advice," love is a sickness. In this typical tale of obsession, Pintchover relates how he permitted his wife's lover to live with him and his wife until she ran away with the man. In keeping with the metaphysical theme of occult destiny, Pintchover wonders if this decision was based on free choice or whether, as Benedict de Spinoza says, all is determined. A year or so later, Pintchover is living with the widow of the man for whom his wife left him, because she is the only one left who has witnessed his great love for his wife.
A similar "sickness of love" story is "One Day of Happiness," in which the unattractive virgin Fela writes a letter to a famous poet-general confessing that he is her hero, the ruler of her soul. When she receives a telegram from him inviting her to visit, she steals her mother's gold chain to buy new clothes, high heels, and a corset. After she arrives at the poet's apartment, he rapes her and calls her a Jewish whore. Bleeding heavily, she drags her way home and slashes her wrists. In the midst of her family's terrified discovery of her attempted suicide, a young man (whom she takes to be the Angel of Death) comes to the door; it is, however, a messenger bringing flowers from the poet-general.
In "The Bond," a writer tells of a woman whose insanely jealous love for him was an obsession. On the way to give a lecture, he slaps her in view of a woman who is obviously furious about it. When this second woman discovers that the man who slapped the woman on the train is the respected writer whose lecture she is to introduce, she becomes hysterical. As a result, he feels forced to slap her also. Later, at the lecture, both his lover and the second woman cheer and applaud his presentation; the second woman thereafter keeps in contact with him. He suggests that the slap created a...

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews where you showcase all of the books you received for the week, whether it be physical or electronic books!
It's a SNOW DAY 🙂 It hasn't snowed a lot for quite some time lately because it's been TOO COLD (-30 ish type of cold) so I was so excited to wake up this morning to a snow day! We had a few errands to run today but we have decided to put them off until tomorrow and just enjoy relaxing indoors. I'm finally starting to get over this hump of sickness I have been battling for nearly two weeks. It's a terrible winter for colds!! I didn't get a lot of books these past few weeks, but a few of my requests from a LONG time ago came in so I was pretty excited about that! AND… today is Bloggiesta! I have a small task list to try to get through, so hopefully I will because I am also participating in the My Life Next Door Read Along. Once again, I've tried to do it all lol. Now… onto the books!!
Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo
*Purchased at Indigo Spirit
Oh, yes… that is Siege and Storm which can only mean, I READ SHADOW AND BONE! And yes, I freaking loved it. I can't start this till probably the first week in February but I wanted to pick it up because the second I have a free book moment I am starting this baby. Ah. Darkling.
Lies You Wanted to Hear by James Whitfield Thomson
*Borrowed from the library
I was on hold for this one at the library for a few months so I was happy that it came through! One of my goals this year is to read more adult fiction and this sounds absolutely fantastic! I will be starting this one tomorrow 🙂
Believe by Erin McCarthy
*Pre approval on Netgalley for review
Witchstruck by Victoria Lamb
*From Harlequin via Edelweiss
The Summer I Wasn't Me by Jessica Verdi
*From Sourcebooks via Netgalley
Say What You Will by Cammie McGovern
*From HarperTeen via Edelweiss
This entire pile was a surprise because I hadn't intended on getting any eARC's this time. Believe was autoapproved on Netgalley so of course I had to snag that one. I LOVED True so I can't wait to keep going with this series (well.. I need to read Sweet first :P). Witchstruck was a long time request that came through so I am SO happy about that! Tudor witches, yes please! The Summer I Wasn't Me was another one that was a long time request and I honestly didn't think it would get approved but it DID! I am so excited, I loved Jessica Verdi's debut novel so I can't wait to read her second. And finally, Say What You Will. I freaking SQUEALED when I seen this on Edelweiss! It sounds so interesting, and a great new contemporary so I had to get it as it's been on my wish list since it was announced.
Melissa Explains It All: Tales From My Abnormally Normal Life by Melissa Joan Hart
*Borrowed from the library
I have been on hold for this audiobook FOREVER! When it finally came through I could have screamed honestly. Melissa Joan Hart was one of my favorite childhood actresses, I loved her in both Clarissa Explains It All and Sabrina(of course I loved Sabrina :P) so when I seen that she had an autobiography I couldn't resist. The audiobook is narrated by her so it's going to make it even better. I am actually going to be listening (and hopefully finishing) this one while I'm working on my Bloggiesta tasks!
What did you get this week? Have you read any of these titles yet? Did you love them/hate them? Link up!!!

Cannon's Killer Sentenced to 25 years for Manslaughter
Dwight DeLee was the first person to be prosecuted in Onondaga County New York under hate crimes legislation for the murder of Lateisha Green (who is often referred to in the media by her birth name, Moses Cannon).
Lateisha, or Teish as she was known by friends, and her brother, Mark Cannon, had received a call from a friend to come over to talk. They headed to the Seymour Street address and were still talking with the girl when the gunman walked up to the care and fired.
Mark was in the driver seat and drove away from the scene toward safety. They were found 13 blocks away. Mark survived the gunshot wound, but Teish was dead.
Yesterday, DeLee was sentenced to the lessor crime of manslaughter and sentenced to 25 years in prison.
The story of Teish's murder spawned much criticism, including this comment on one of the original stories:
If the police find the alleged shooter and he happens to be black, this can never be prosecuted as a hate crime. Everyone knows that the only people that ever hate are white Caucasian males that believe in God. – crazedmaniac
I can't help but wonder if the person who wrote the above non-sense (perhaps rhetorically) now sees that, not only was the murderer a black man, but he was also prosecuted under hate crimes legislation. So much for the theory that hate crimes target white folk.
