Summer 'Dos
Sienna Miller
Going through an awkward in-between phase with your winter fringe? Try twisting your bangs to the side and pinning them back with a contrasting bobby pin.
You don't have to pull your hair back to rock a slicked-back side part.
Or go the opposite route and let your part fall haphazardly. Secure a loose ponytail or braid and don't worry about the layers that fall around your face.
A high ponytail, secured at the crown, shows off your cheekbones. Wrap a bit of hair around the elastic for added polish and spray a generous amount of a shine spray, like Oribe's Shine Spray ($36), all over.
Hair accessories needn't be fussy! Just wrap a ribbon around your head, tie a bow, and voila!
Sometimes more is better--try three French braids instead of one. Prep the hair with dry shampoo, like Aveeno's Active Naturals Pure Renewal Dry Shampoo ($8), for added grip and texture.
Try smoothing whatever pomade you use on your ends--we like Serge Normant's Meta Form Sculpting Pomade ($25)-- on your roots instead. The extra shine makes a day-old blowout look fresh.
Instead of going the traditional summer route and wrapping braids around the top of your head, pin them across the back.
Not quite ready to commit to the wet hair look? Rub a dollop of mousse, like John Frieda's Luxurious Volume Thickening Mousse ($6), between your hands and use your fingers to brush the front of your hair back.
Do you normally part your hair on the right? Try the left for some added volume (or vice versa) and pull your pony to the side.
The faux bob isn't going anywhere! Invest in heavy-duty bobby pins like Meta Grip's Premium Bob Pins ($7) to make sure it stays put.
Bored of wearing your hair in a bun while working out? Try using rubber bands to section off your ponytail and pin the length to the back of your head.
A topknot might not be the most groundbreaking hairstyle for summer, but it doesn't hurt to see a perfectly executed version.
Instead of spending the humid months battling frizz with products and hair dryers, embrace the flyaways! Texture adds character.
Throw out all the summer trends, skip product, and comb an uneven side part for a laid-back style that works just as well at a cocktail party as it does on the beach.

I collect design ideas and get inspired by walking through the city. When I look down, I detect grids in the patterns of the sidewalk. I find new color combinations on poster walls, where flyers and posters have been posted on top of each other. When I look up, I see interesting line structures formed by the the street car overhead wires. When traveling to other countries, my favorite thing to do is to go to grocery stores and look at the packaging, especially laundry soap boxes, because they are always bright. www.designing.it

One virus, which was made incompatible with the introduction of in-kernel networking ( BONE ).
Zeta uses a fixed-up revision BONE from all appearances, which was more secured. BONE is basically a source-less port if the BSD networking stack, which is known to be more or less secured by design.
The net_server BeOS revisions had a fatal flaw that was so easy to exploit, you would find yourself experiencing the side-effects after a lot of perfectly safe and normal network traffic. No hacking needed.. just ping a few hundred times to rid a dial-upped system, sending larger-sized packets for higher-end connections.
BONE, on the other hand, was never finished by Be, INC, and likely never had a security audit.. in fact I find this highly likely considering any BONE system can be ftp'd into and the user/pass of baron used to get in with full, un-monitor-ablem access. You could delete every file in every drive of the system, as the ftp root was the kernel's virtual root '/.'
Of course, Zeta should ship with all services off. Doing such could create a pretty secure system, and the internal methods for setting up those services for the network is surprisingly system-handled.
Basically, to start a network service on BONE, you would change the settings in a file, then send an alert to the kernel (through inetd?), the kernel would then process the file, obliging to the on/off settings (likely) without regard to who set them. However, in its 'released' state ( the latest Be BONE known, which is in Dano and early Zeta OS versions ), BONE would restart networking to have the file reloaded.
Restarting the networking stack to change a service is no biggy at all, unless your trying to hack the system and spent a couple hours getting into the system, and no find yourself completely out again because the network card was just shut off and back on, and the system may have even leased a new IP address ( either local or public ). That certainly adds in 'security' where other systems don't even try.
I decided to run a quick portscan over my network to my PhOS system and see what results we could get.
With xitami running for HTTP
$ portscanner -attackopen -violent 192.168.1.100

As we can see, hacking in depends on the ports being open, which means some app is listening. It could be the kernel. ( Oh, one note, even though it says 'hijacked' the portscanner does not hijack yet, which is why it says 'should' :-) ).
Okay, now a run with no services on:

A lot different.

With the Windows Firewall on, you have to use a Windows Firewall exploit to get through. I haven't updated the app in years, so I haven't exploited any of them yet so that I can have the firewall on and use my network mass storage at the same time ( spanning storage needs across many machines silently ), but I am confident that the hardware firewalls I have do their trick :-)
Oh well, just a little FYI w/ my $0.02.

99 PhaseII SOHC. If your crank gear is stuck on.
Here's a pic of my crank gear sprocket puller setup, using the M8x1.25 tap-existing-holes method. (There are two round holes through the stock gear, on opposite sides of the crank. They are the perfect size to thread with an M8x1.25 tap) This is not my idea, but it is my pic. In this pic: the gear is already partly pulled off. A socket has been inserted at the end of the crank to continue.
I used nuts to allow the bolt to remain fixed in the full thread of the hole, since the tap did not go exactly straight and I only got about 7-8 full threads on it. It slid off pretty smoothly, at first one flat at a time, then later more easily.
Notice the broken tang from a previous attempt with a normal puller. Also, since eveything around it is aluminum, do not try to pry a reluctant gear off the crank, you will just do more damage. This is the $10 solution.

Chris -- 2018-04-11
Hello everyone. I'm an occasional reader, first-time poster.
So "Bathtism" for Baptism. I've actually come across this one twice in person (one was my own daughter), and a quick google search shows I'm not alone. It seems to be confined to children, but I've taken to using it myself in the hopes of changing the world, one word at a time.
Now the only problem could be that the word is derived from the Latin and Greek word 'to bathe'. From the OED:[a. F. baptise-r, -izer (11th c.), ad. L. bapt{imac}z{amac}-re, ad. Gr. {beta}{alpha}{pi}{tau}{giacu}{zeta}{epsilon}{iota}{nu} 'to immerse, bathe, wash, drench,' in Christian use appropriated to the religious rite, f. {beta}{gaacu}{pi}{tau}{epsilon}{iota}{nu} to dip, plunge, bathe.]
Are substitutions allowed for words that return to their roots?Any thoughts?
I've added a few links with examples of the substitution, but google will show you a few others.
Thanks, Corny. And welcome to the Forum.
I'm surprised how many of the "bathtism" hits on Google are secondary sources. That is, they are people telling a story about a person (usually a child) who made the verbal slip. But I also see a few examples that appear to be primary sources.
We have found on this Forum that certain candidate eggcorns are what we might call "urban legend eggcorns." That is, they are intentional puns that get passed around with the tagline that the speaker knows someone who knows someone who knows someone who actually said it in a non-punning way. We are glad to hear that you actually DO know the person who said it.
An addition to our growing list of .
Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.
While there is a lot more eggcorn potential in false etymologies than there is in cognates, the forum has typically given its blessing to reunifications like this one if it appears that the return to roots has cleared up an obscure etymology for the user. That would probably be the case here. Some have gone all the way to "bathism" (easily confused with Baathism, of course) and "bathized".
i have been bathised when i was a baby, so i guess officially i am a catholic
I figure if LO wants to be bathised he can make that choice himself when he's old enough to understand.

I was initially very enthusiastic about this one, but the etymology aspect ruined it a bit for me. If I understand this correctly, "baptism" derives from something which means "bath" ... or perhaps "bath" derived from the same root. At any rate, "bath" was sort of looming withing "baptism" all along so the alteration wasn't as profound as other modifications might have been.
Oh well, it was at least credible that so many children would misinterpret the word, and first-hand accounts are always so delightful.
I think you may be misreading the OED, Corny. "Baptise/baptize" and "bath" do not derive from the same source. "Baptize" comes from a Greek word for immerse/bathe/wash. "Bath" derives from a Germanic root that probably has some connection to "heat" (cf the German word "Bad" )

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - UC Santa Barbara freshman Philip Therp was named the Big West Men's Tennis Athlete of the Week, it was announced Wednesday. Therp won in his first match back at the No. 3 singles position against Dartmouth Sunday after missing six weeks with a left wrist injury.
The native of Birkeroed, Denmark returned to the courts for the first time since he suffered the injury February 9 against Boise State. Therp, a right-hander who normally plays two-handed, was cleared to play one-handed last week and registered a 6-3, 7-6 win over Dartmouth's Jeff Schechtman.
Playing one-handed for the first time in his career, Therp's win was one of only two Gaucho victories in singles in the 5-2 defeat to the Big Green. Despite the loss, the freshman's return was a bright spot for the defending Big West Champions, who have been decimated by injuries this season.
Even after missing 10 matches, Therp is still ranked No. 94 in the FILA Collegiate Tennis Rankings. This is Therp's first-career player of the week award and the second for UCSB this season. Sophomore Bijan Hejazi claim the honor February 28.
The Gauchos are back in action Friday, April 6 in a Big West Conference match at Pacific, starting at 2:00 p.m.

Finding the love of your life could happen at any age.
Finding the love of your life could happen at any age.
Jim Toler and Pearl Field, both 89, have happily discovered that.
The couple plan to tie the knot Sunday in a marriage celebration at the Big A Grillhouse on Route 209 in Marshall Creek.
Friends from a small town, the duo initially laid eyes on each other in the 1930s as first-grade students at the Bridgeton School in Bridgeton, N.C.
Bridgeton housed students from first to 12th grade, so the pair spent their entire grade school time as classmates.
But after they completed high school and Toler joined the Navy and moved away, Field moved on with her life, marrying Elwood Field, and had two children.
Toler fought in World War II and was stationed in various places including California, where he got married as well.
Toler twice was a widower before reuniting with Field.
"I couldn't have guessed that I would ever lay eyes on Pearl again after we left North Carolina," Toler said. "She was always something special, but we both went on not knowing much about what happened to each other."
The not-knowing would last decades — 70 years to be exact.
Two years ago, Toler began perusing Facebook where he saw a familiar name, Pearl Morris, from an all-too familiar town, Bridgeton. He remembered that Morris was Field's maiden name, and it also was the name she used on the social media website.
Field immediately accepted a friend request from Toler and both realized that they had much in common, including spouses who had died.
"It wasn't long after we started communicating that I asked her to marry me, but Pearl didn't give me an answer for a while," Toler said.
For good reason, Field said.
"My husband died a long time ago, 1994 to be exact, and I had grown accustomed to being my own boss," she said with a laugh.
Things changed a year ago, when Toler moved from North Carolina to East Stroudsburg to woo his long-time love interest.
"When Pearl finally said yes, I had just closed on a condo in North Carolina," Toler said. "I wish she would have said yes three days earlier, because it would have saved a whole lot of trouble."
Don't get Toler wrong, he's not complaining, he said.
"No, I'm just thrilled to be with her, and we're going to live right here in her house here in East Stroudsburg where she's comfortable, and we'll figure out the condo later," Toler said.
Although she had some initial reservations about marrying again, Field said it was impossible to turn down her one-time grade school companion.
"He's such a nice guy, and I'm proud of the fact that he served his country," she said.
When Toler left the Navy following World War II, he ultimately served 20 years in the Army before retiring.
"That's what Pearl is proud of most, my service career, and I love her for it," Toler said. "She wanted me to wear my Army uniform for our wedding, but the jacket is too small now."
So, what does a man so smitten with his soon-to-be new bride do to remedy the situation? "I went out and purchased a new uniform," Toler said.
Together the couple laughed, something they plan to do for many more years to come.

The lights are on
The third DC Comics-focused Lego title will team up heroes and villains to save the Earth from a formidable foe. The android Brainiac is tired of collecting cities and has his sights set on something much larger: Earth.
In the trailer, we get a chance to see members of almost every Lantern corps, Killer Croc, Solomon Grundy, Tigra, Firefly, Martian Manhunter, and a number of DC stalwarts. Yesterday, we got our first look at a number of new characters, including Dick Grayson, Frankenstein, and Beast Boy.
Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham will be out this fall for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Wii U, Vita, 3DS, and PC. For more, check out our preview from E3.

Hello there. I just signed up for this site, but I might be here a lot. For now though I'm just really desperate for advice/help/guidance/opinions etc.
I have two babies right now, a cat named Mizzie and a dog named Ava
Mizzie is 6, she just turned 6 this month, and Ava is almost 5 months old now. I love them both to death, but I have a problem now that didn't matter before.
Mizzie lives with me at my grandparents, meanwhile Ava lives with my boyfriend since he paid for her and my grandma doesn't want a dog and whatever else.
But Miz is terrified of dogs. I've had Ava and another dog named Kitty over at my house, and as soon as Mizzie knows they are around she hides. One time Kitty went into my bedroom (Mizzie's favourite place) and Mizzie was just hiding under my desk, and no matter what I did she wouldn't come out. She also wouldn't eat any food or treats until a while after me and my boyfriend left with the dogs.
The problem is: is that my boyfriend is moving September 1st, and is obviously taking Ava, and I've been seriously thinking about going with him...except I want to take Mizzie and I really can't imagine not taking her; but her reaction to dogs makes me afraid to take her.
I really really don't want to move without my kitty. Mizzie is my big suck and when I went away for a week my grandma said she was really pouty, and when we talked on skype Mizzie perked up right away. She sleeps with me every night unless she's mad at me (usually she gets mad when I go away for the weekend or when my friends sleep over and take her spot) and she's a spoiled princess.
On the other hand though I'm afraid to take her away from my grandparents. Because they love her as much as I do, and I know she's attached to them too; though not as much.
But assuming right now that I would take her with me; is there any hope of her getting used to Ava? We'd be moving into a two bedroom apartment...I mean its a pretty big apartment but I don't know where Mizzie would be able to have a 'safe spot' in an apartment. Our bedroom wouldn't work because Ava is also a huge suck and wants to sleep in the same room, though I think she'd sleep in her bed rather than on ours. We'd also be moving in with another person so I can't just give the second bedroom to Mizzie either.
Any advice would be super helpful, thanks in advance...


text: I'm just getting around to watching this video of the Southwest LRT alignment. The alignment approved for preliminary engineering will have a 3,000-foot bridge (!!) among others, plus a tunnel or two. I can't quickly find the costs of these many bridges, but might they come anywhere close to $600 million? And could there be a less-bridgey route on this western end of the line? Just checking.

Police ID suspect in Stockton shooting
Shooting happened on Bianchi Road
STOCKTON, Calif. (KCRA) —
Officers identified a man believed to have shot two people at a Stockton home on Wednesday.
The Stockton Police Department has identified the suspect as Dwight Smith, 25.
Stockton police said the man opened fire at a home in the 400 block of Bianchi Road just before 10 a.m.
Authorities searched the home, but were unable to find the gunman.
Neighbors told KCRA 3 they believe the man was a tenant and shot his landlord and a second victim.
The victims were able to speak with officers before being taken to an area hospital, police said.
Police evacuated an apartment complex behind the home and shut down roads in the area during the search. All evacuations have been lifted.

I have begin taking photos since I was 11, taking my father's Brownie Super 27 camera, without his permission, to shoot people throwing stones at soldiers in the street of Montreal, during the 1970 October crisis.
I found out early that I was more attracted by stories than by simply shooting for the sake of it.
Unfortunately, I never took it seriously until a friend asked me in the 80's to take a photographic road trip of him and his band, between Montreal and Chibougamau, to the far north east of Quebec. Since then I have shot different documentaries covering mainly social or humanitarian issues.
What motivates me is helping groups of people suffering from injustice, to gain media attention so their story can be known. I often partnerships with NGO such as MSF, COVA, Groupe L'Itinéraire, Mira foundation, Fauna Foundation, Global Compassion, the Post War Crisis Center, the St-James Center, etc.

A pictorial history book with more than 200 vintage images of Des Plaines is set to release Nov. 26 in time for the holiday shopping season.
The book is the latest in the "Images of America" paperback series published by Arcadia Publishing, which reached out to the Des Plaines Public Library to commission the book.
Author David Whittingham, a readers' adviser at the library, collaborated with the Des Plaines History Center for two years on the book, 95 percent of which is photographs, some never seen or used before, from the center's archives.
"They've been trying to find somebody to do a book on Des Plaines for a while and nobody was really interested," Whittingham said.
When library officials sought a staff volunteer to write the book, Whittingham immediately stepped up. Though he has never written a book before, Whittingham said he writes as a hobby and was inspired by his late father, Richard Whittingham, who wrote a couple of nonfiction books, including a pictorial book about Skokie.
"It's really a fun experience," he said.
At $21.99 a pop, the Des Plaines pictorial history book will be available for purchase through the History Center gift shop, local Walgreens stores, area book stores and online at amazon.com.
Whittingham said though he has worked at the Des Plaines library for 13 years, he discovered many fun facts about Des Plaines' history that he didn't know before he began researching the book.
"It was very interesting to find out how much Des Plaines has changed over the years and also how much interesting early history there is," said the 44-year-old who lives in Chicago. "Early Des Plaines was a tourist town. It was a destination."
Visitors from Chicago and all over the area flocked to Des Plaines to fish and swim in the Des Plaines River, while others congregated at the Methodist Campgrounds and downtown hotels, he said.
"There were bands that would play right in downtown" at the Northwestern Park bandstand, Whittingham said. "There was a lot going on and it was a very different sort of town than it is today."
Among the highlights of the book are images of the town when it was home to a prisoner of war camp housing Nazi German soldiers captured during World War I and II.
"It's a good keepsake," Whittingham said. "They (the History Center) have a great collection of materials. They have great programs. You can learn about different aspects of the town."
Whittingham will autograph copies of the book at the Friends of the Des Plaines Public Library book sale, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Dec. 1 at the library, 1501 Ellinwood St. A book release party is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 14 at the library.

I got pregnant by someone else's husband and I'm still glad to this day.
- 43 Replies
If that title doesn't catch attention, I don't know what would.
Anyway, this is my big confession, and the reason I joined up in this group. There are only a couple people in my life that know about this, but I suppose I really just wanted to clear the air in some respect.
Seven years ago I was really in a bad place. I was seventeen when I met this guy, he was four years older, had a job, had a car, didn't live with his parents. Sounds like perfection for a 17 year old, right? Well, I ended up getting involved with him and before I was out of high school, he was already having me move in with him. I was naive, so I thought it was cool and did so. Within around six months the shit started hitting the fan. I found out that this guy was seriously controlling and showed signs of being abusive, but again I was really naive and I "loved him" so I figured I would stick it out.
Within months, Old Abusive Boyfriend (let's call him OAB) lost his job, crashed his car, and moved back in with mommy and daddy. I went with him, obviously. Over the next few years, things went from bad to worse. He made me work for him, took all my money. He'd punch me or choke me if I spoke out to him or had any opinion at all. He forced me into bed with him and other girls. There was rape and several disgusting sexual practices I was required to perform against my will, including urine and fecal play, which still disgust me to this day. He forced me to have an abortion against my will and beat me when I originally told him I didn't want to. He refused to "let" me get my driver license because he "couldn't trust me", but eventually did let me when I was 21 because he was too lazy to drive me the twenty something miles one way to work. I was involved in a serious work injury which required two surgeries, and the only thing he had to say about it was that he was pissed off he had to drive to get my worker's comp check. Two days after my first surgery he decided to hold a yard sale to make more money. He then proceeded to leave with some other girl he was fucking and left me, in extreme pain and high on vicotin, to manage the entire thing.
I was bloody miserable. I hated life. I wanted to literally die. I thought about killing myself, thinking it was the only way out of this situation. I felt like I couldn't tell anyone about what was going on, because OAB would kill me. He said he would many, many times. I didn't have a single friend or anyone I could confide in. I hardly ever talked to my family because he kept me from seeing them, even though they were maybe ten miles away at worst. The only friends I THOUGHT I had were his, and as it turns out that wasn't the case at all.
I was friends with one of OAB's friends, whom I will call Asshole Sperm Donor. ASD always acted like he was my friend. We were very close and I knew him very well, even better than his wife, whom he married only because he found out she was knocked up with his kid. ASD's wife even used to come to me on occasion asking me how to deal with ASD's moods, which were rather volatile and unpredictable since he was a raging alcoholic. I was good at dealing with him and we were friends, or so I thought.
Well, one night ASD was sleeping over OAB's parent's house. I was miserably depressed, and after OAB went to bed with his other fuck toy, ASD and I stayed up talking very late into the night. ASD was a little drunk; he'd had a few beers earlier in the evening, but that didn't bother be because I knew how to handle him. He started telling me how he knew how OAB treated me, that he was abusive and hit me and things. He told me I didn't deserve that and that I was not only beautiful, but a beautiful person too. He was my friend, or so I thought, and I believed him. He offered me comfort and I took it. We ended up sleeping together. I was on birth control so I didn't think it was a problem. I was so fucked up in the head from years of abuse that I didn't even stop and think that this was someone else's husband, nor did I think to myself that he might just be using me to get in my pants.
Well, it certainly worked. The birth control, however, did not. I ended up getting pregnant, but I didn't know it for a good long while. I'd been on depo, see, and it caused me to not have periods at all. I never missed one, and even when I started getting a little belly, I thought it was only because I'd started working at a local fast food joint that gave free meals every day.
My eyes were opened when I felt those first little flutters, somewhere around four months and a half or so. I still tried to deny it to myself for a couple weeks, but then one day I went to the hospital for unrelated tooth pain. When they asked me if I might be pregnant, I showed the nurse my belly and said "I don't know, you tell me if I am." That night I got my first positive pregnancy test, through bloodwork.
It was at that point I knew I had to get out of the relationship I was in. I could sit there and just take all the abuse given to me, but I couldn't allow this asshole to hurt the life growing inside me. At this point I had no idea that the baby might be ASD's; we'd only had sex the one time, and I'd been on BC, remember? Well, I started making plans for escape, and a day came when I finally worked up enough courage to leave. OAB was away, supposedly all afternoon, so I packed my things and loaded them up into the car, planning to just go without a word to anyone save his mother...who'd been abused, beaten, burned by cigarettes by her own son, so she knew what I was going through.
A clean escape wasn't meant to be. OAB came home while I was packing. I was terrified, but I told him that I was pregant, that it was far too late for him to force me into another abortion, and that I was leaving him. He dragged me into the house screaming at me, threw me into a corner of the bedroom, and proceeded to punch me in the face and choke me. He did not hit my stomach, INTENTIONALLY, because he said he "didn't want to hurt that THING" growing inside me. He called me a whore and a slut and a liar and beat me for a good hour while the other girlfriend stood outside and his parents were upstairs doing nothing. All this time, EVERYONE knew but none of them did anything to help.
Eventually he got tired of beating me up and he left again, saying "if I really loved him" (*eyeroll*) that I'd be there when he got back and then I would put this THING up for adoption as soon as it was born.
When he finally got back, I was already long gone, shaken and scared to the point of literal vomitting.
I ended up at my mother's, which was little better because of her drug problems and alcohol problems. But I knew that she would help me and protect me. OAB swore to me that he would hunt me down and kill me and my child dead, and I was in constant fear. He started calling my mother's house upwards of forty or fifty times a day, making me jump at every shadow. I was godawful miserable just having to deal with that. My obgyn noticed that instead of gaining weight, I was losing it week by week, and I eventually broke down crying and spilled everything to him. He gave me councelling and I continued to see him until the baby was born.
After a couple false starts trying to break away from OAB (during which we "talked", mostly consisting of him threatening to kill himself if I didn't do EXACTLY what he wanted), I finally made the clean break and left him for good. I had my son at the hospital and it was a very good experience for me, although on the first night there alone, I broke down, realizing that I was all alone, and wondered if I could do this thing myself.
Things worked out generally alright, though, and it wasn't long before I started questioning my DS's parentage. He looked JUST like ASD and nothing like OAB at all. I started to wonder and eventually ended up making a huge mistake, and told one of our mutual friends my concerns. The friend agreed that DS looked like ASD's...then went promptly behind my back and told ASD and OAB both.
A couple weeks later, I started getting phone calls from a number I didn't recognize. Eventually I picked it up and it was ASD. He said he'd found out that I thought DS was his and that he wanted to do a paternity test. I didn't have a problem with that initially...until all of a sudden he started making threats to me. He said that once paternity was established, he would take me to court and sue me for full custody of my DS. After all I'd been through and ONE SINGLE NIGHT, he thought he OWNED this baby! I told him in no uncertain terms to fuck off, that I was never talking to him again and that he would never see MY child.
He kept calling, so I changed my number and eventually shut the phone off completely. I haven't talked to ASD since. Around the same time, however, I started getting private messages here on CM from ASD's wife, who berated me and said I was a lousy friend (we weren't friends in the first place, but that was beside the point) for fucking her man behind her back and just about anything else she could say to upset me. It was all too much, and I ended up deleting my CM account until only very recently.
Do I feel bad that I slept with someone else's husband? Yes...to a point. But the part that everyone seems to forget is that this baby-- MY CHILD-- literally saved my life. If I had not gotten pregnant with him, I guaranteed would be dead from that OAB right now. Do I regret having my DS? ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOT. He's THE best thing that's ever happened to me in my life, and god help anyone who tries to take him from me or hurt him.
So, yeah. I guess in the end, even though I know in my heart that it was wrong, that I really don't care that I fucked someone else's husband and got knocked up by him.
How can I regret it when I look at my DS every single day and know in my heart of hearts that he's the only reason I'm left alive today.
*deep breath*
...okay. Feel free to fire away and bash me now. I'm glad to just have had it out.
No bashing from me. Glad you were able to get away from him. Children are a blessing and this sounds like he was a blessing and a saving grace at the same time. ((hugs))
Who has a right to bash you? No one

Horse that escapes fire back at home
Blaze is back home.
The 12-year-old Tennessee Walker burned out of his barn when it caught fire Thursday returned to his home at 15115 Ramga Road Monday and his makeshift stall.
In a steady rain, Lee and Ray Holbrook welcomed Blaze home and introduced him to his new living quarters until spring — an 18-foot square temporary structure made of scaffolding and 2- by 4-inch pieces of wood and a hot house canvas.
"This is awesome, totally awesome," Lee Holbrook said. "We have had this horse since he was three months old. It is great to have him home again.
"I want to thank all the people who helped us with Blaze and Blue Boy, especially we want to thank Becky Noe for saving Blaze and Blue Boy from the fire. We had a cat, that is deaf, that didn't fair so well."
On Monday, the cat was in the Holbrooks' home recuperating. Blue Boy rested in his new dog house donated by Jackie and Scott Martell, neighbors who live to the northwest.
The Holbrooks saved Blue Boy from being euthanized a couple of weeks ago. He was under the care of Auglaize County Dog Warden Russ Bailey when they rescued him.
"He was going to be put down and I couldn't see that happening so I rescued him," Lee Holbrook said. "He is such a loving and affectionate dog. He is deaf, but he already knows hand signals."
If she points at the Blue Heeler, he stops, sits and will stop barking if he was barking. If she motions toward her, he comes.
Blue Boy is still on a long leash, but during the rain he rested with only his front paws outside the doghouse door as he watched Ray Holbrook help Blaze from Jim Owens' trailer into his new temporary home.
The Holbrooks wanted to thank Owens for transporting the horse back to the homestead and they wanted to thank Karen Schaaf for transporting the Tennessee Walker to the farm of the Holbrooks' friend, Teresa Chiles.
They also wanted to thank Nicole and Mike Schulte.
Mike Schulte and his friends started building the shelter for Blaze on Friday and finished Saturday afternoon. The structure consists of two stalls — one for feed and straw and the other for Blaze. They also installed a fence at the home — so Blaze could go in and out of the stall into a small field.
Schulte wrote on the outside of the stall near the entrance, "Blaze Established 2012."
For the Holbrooks, who love to rescue animals, the rescue efforts for their two animals started Thursday almost immediately when the barn caught on fire.
Becky Noe, who went outside Thursday to mow her lawn, saw the fire first. She ran into her house, directly to the north of where the Holbrooks live, called 911 and ran more than 200 yards to the barn holding Blaze to help him escape the blaze. She also saved Blue Boy, whom she didn't see but who was chained to a wall in the burning barn stall.
Noe, who along with her husband, Todd, served in the U.S. armed forces and she said she relied on her instincts to get Blaze and Blue Boy away from the fire. She walked them north across the long driveway to the Holbrooks home to safety, approximately where the new holding stable is today. The barn was on the south side of the drive.
Ray Holbrook, who works the midnight shift, said when he came outside he could not believe his eyes.
"I was devastated. When I came out and I saw the barn was on fire, I didn't know Becky had gotten Blaze out," Ray Holbrook said. "I just fell on my knees. I thought he was gone, then I heard her (Noe) holler, 'We got Blaze.' "
Lee Holbrook, who works at Auglaize Acres, was at work when she heard there was a fire at her house. She went home and from Hamilton Street could see the smoke. As she drove down Ramga Road, she feared the worst and their daughter, Karen Johnson, met her at the end of the long drive.
"When I left, I bawled my eyes out and that is what I will do again now that he is home," Lee Holbrook said. "I came onto it and my daughter stopped me and told me right away, 'Blaze is alright, but the barn is gone.' Then I said, 'What about Blue Boy?' and she quickly answered, 'He's fine, too.'"
Their daughter knew her mother would be hunting for the pair if she got closer to the house and she wanted to assure her they were both fine.
Blaze and Blue Boy are considered members of their family. The Holbrooks, who moved to their Ramga Road home approximately 10 years ago, got Blaze nearly 12 years ago when their seven children were all grown. Now they have 30 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
"He is so sweet, gentle and patient," Lee Holbrook said. "He loves people and he loves children, he just loves the kids.
"He calms me and soothes me when I come home after a hard day at work by laying his head on my shoulder and just whinnies," she said. "He just loves people, I don't think he knows he is a horse. He is just something else."
"He really likes the kids and if they are short, he will put his head down so they can touch him," Ray Holbrook said. "He just opens a soft spot in your heart."
After the fire, the Holbrooks said they were not surprised by a comment made by Buckland Volunteer Fire Chief Todd Vorhees about Blaze.
"The fire chief told us they have never seen a calmer animal at a fire, especially one so close to the fire," Lee Holbrook said. "He stood across the drive and just watched them fight the fire. He has gotten out before and he never goes anywhere. He always stays close to home."
Now Blaze is home again and closer to more people's hearts.

Winny/Share Help!
Hello all,
I've recently downloaded Winny and just can't seem to get it to work. All my nodes just say "waiting" and over on the right, under the "preference" tab, it gives me a zero, then a negative number. I can't ever pull up any "hits" when I do even a simple search for a common word like "AVI."
So, I thought I'd try "Share" out. However, all the links I'm finding are DEAD! Does anyone know where I can download a recent version??
If anyone can help with either of my situations, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

So Share died, and PD is the new thang, supposedly. Why in the hell is it using 50% CPU on average, though? Is there something wrong with my installation? I'd get it if it was hashing up files or something from the upload directory, but I'm not even doing anything. It has somehow managed to use up 3h26m of CPU time on a 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo in 3h15m (dual core, though, so roughly 50% constant use). This seems insane.

I have a question: How do you search for files? ^^; I doubt PD compiles a full index of every available file ever upped from which you can search...

I'm kind of flying blind, but I have got PD working and downloading things. The speed is very variable: sometimes as fast as WinNY, often really slow.
It takes up a lot of RAM (about 90Mb right now) but only a couple of percent of CPU. And of course there's that massive cache folder "unity." Mine's up to about 9Gb now, after three weeks or so. I plan to let it get to 20Gb rather than 40Gb and trim it after that. We'll see.
I find that you can poke a search simply by clicking on the keyword. An exclamation mark shows up after it for a while, while it seems to be searching. But since I find new files every time I go back to some keywords, I suspect it keeps searching all your keywords whether you click on them or not. It seems to me that I can sometimes poke a dead download by right-clicking on the file in the search window and choosing "download" again.
I never did get Share to give me much, but I have used WinNY very happily for a couple of years. However, I think our Japanese benefactors are starting now to make the move to PD, because of recent events, so I am, too.
I'm sorry I can't really answer people's questions, since it seemed a miracle to me when the thing started working properly. One thing I did was to manually upload some big files to get the unity cache over 2 Gb to start. You have to add keywords for each file you upload (Japanese keywords, hopefully). And you should review every file you download: click the "complete" tab and then right-click each completed file and rank it, especially for being what it purports to be. That's the big advantage of PD: you can see whether other people approved of the file or not before you go to the trouble of downloading it.
I don't see any equivalent of Share's and WinNY's clusters, just keywords. I suspect it makes sense to tree your keywords, with general categories of things at the top level, sub-categories under that, and individual files after that.
JCafe is the place to go for a tutorial.

Hmmm, sounds like it is best to dedicate some poor 3rd machine to this puppy rather than have it annoy you on the old game machine or work machine.

Slower Than You
Meh, my unity directory is never over 5GB, I gave it a harddrive of its own. Running PD in wine is fine, the fonts are pretty decently sized for me, and overall it runs well. Just the occasional ram and cpu flood for 3 seconds once an hour or so, otherwise its fine.

I've started to like perfect dark now. Not only did I find a few HD raws I lost in a RAID snafu that were reasonably old, bit I downloaded lossless rips of nearly all the Reitaisai 5 CD releases (about 11 GB worth) in about 2 hours.
I think the userbase probably quadrupled since the share arrests... In any case my unity is 40 GB, and it takes little cpu and easily hits speeds of 4-5 MB/s on my fiber, but then again I'm IN tokyo, so your speeds may vary.

So I got a problem. I've had this problem ever since getting my wireless router (WNR834M) last August. I used to be able to download stuff from winny and share, no problem, but ever since I got this wireless router, its been denying me access to download files from winny and share. And now, I have the same problem with perfect dark, always telling me that an open port is NOT confirmed. How do I fix this issue? Is it the wireless router?
|p2p, perfect dark

Kobe Bryant
I can't stand this man. He cheated on his wife! lets just assume he didn't rape that woman(which he did). I am tired of hearing about Kobe and I am tired of hearing all of his ignorant fans sticking up for him. I say hang his ass! The lowlife. I dont see why any women would want him anyway. His fans support him for one reason and one reason only because he is a good basketball player. If I saw him treating a woman the way he treated that girl I would bet the living crap out of him. but he says he's sorry for cheating on his wife! Oh thats a load of crap. The only thing that man is sorry about is getting caught. Throw his dirty ass up and throw away the key!

Man hater??
I feel that way sometimes too, twigggy.
Like anyone else if he's guilty he should get the punishiment. Sadly, the victim will always take a long
time to recover, if not their whole life.

Re: Man hater??
I'm a dee-vor-cee as my ex-husband had a tendency to wander...
Having said that there are still two sides to every story and the justice system (supposedly) rules that all are innocent until proved guilty. We as an audience hearing gossip can't really know what happened, that's the jury's job to sort out the truth and hold the guilty party responsible. I agree he shouldn't have cheated on his wife but successful people sometimes have trouble with fidelity when fans/groupies are throwing themselves at them. If he was looking to get laid I think he could have the pick of the litter. I don't think he'd have to rape someone, but then again, I wasn't in the room to witness what happened.

|Fundraisers to be held for local man recovering from recent motorcycle accident
|Written by Administrator
|Wednesday, 09 September 2009 00:00
Two fundraisers are being planned for a local man who is recovering from a recent serious motorcycle accident.
Ryan Clausing of Memphis, was traveling home on Friday, August 7 when he was involved in a motorcycle accident just seconds from his home.
Clausing was STAT flighted to the University of Louisville Hospital for treatment, where he is still recovering from his injuries.
He sustained extensive injuries including a spinal cord injury at T4 level, severe leg injury from the knee down on his right leg, collapsed right lung, bilateral lung contusions, heart contusion and broken clavicle, scapula, wrist and ankle.
Clausing's family has been able to provide updates to family and friends via Caring Bridges. You may read more about his story at www.caringbridges.org/visit/ryanclausing/mystory.
The first fundraiser for Clausing will be a benefit motorcycle run. The ride will start and end at Wicks Pizza, 10966 Dixie Highway in Louisville. The registration will be from 11 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. Kick-stands will go up at 1 p.m.
Donations will be $15 per rider and $10 for passengers. There will also be a 50/50 drawing at the end of the ride.
For more information about the motorcycle run please call Brian at 502-381-0366, Juanita at 502-744-7804 or Sam at 502-744-2762.
The second planned fundraiser is The Ryan Clausing Foundation Co-Ed Softball Tournament. The tournament will be held on Saturday and Sunday, September 26 and 27 at Seneca Park located at 3151 Peewee Reese Road in Louisville.
The registration fee will be $300 per team. The entry deadline will be Thursday, September 10.

The information came from the Jets back in 2010. The average number of seats per PSL owner was 3, rounded down from 3.1. Go search for it yourself, not sure why you find it hard to believe. Fans buy 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, or 2 seats. For every fan that buys 1 seat, there are fans that buy 5. 4's and 2's are the most popular by far.
43,000 PSL Seats ÷ 3 Seats Per Buyer = 14,333 PSL Owners
So this "Waa, waa, waa.....80 THOUSAND angry PSL Owner REVOLUTION!" you think is going to happen ain't happening. In a city of 8 million with another 3 million in the outlying areas, all it takes for PSL nirvana are 14,333 measly Jets fans who can afford a paltry $8-$15 a game.
Since you have an issue wrapping your brain around this, see above for a helpful representation. If you forced every PSL owner to sit in the upper deck (eew) and pose for a picture, it would fill up what you see in bright green.
This is why there is no PSL uprising. We are a small group of diehard fans with money who weren't stupid enough to realize that we're in this for the 30 year long-haul and we're going to have bad seasons 60% of the time like every other NFL franchise over that span.
Follow your own advice on this issue: "Stop believing the evil media! They are out to get the Jets! Don't trust them! They are spinning to make a story! They just want to sell newspapers!" LOL

GENESIS--As a total eclipse casts its shadow across the globe, a genetics professor (Sendhil Ramamurthy, "Blind Guy Driving") in India is led by his father's disappearance to uncover a secret theory -- there are people with super powers living among us. A young dreamer (Milo Ventimiglia, "Gilmore Girls") tries to convince his politician brother (Adrian Pasdar, "Judging Amy") that he can fly. A high school cheerleader (Hayden Panettiere, "Ice Princess") learns that she is totally indestructible. A single mother (Ali Larter, "Final Destination") struggles to make ends meet to support her young son (Noah Gray-Cabey, "My Wife & Kids"), discovers that her mirror image has a secret. A gifted artist (Santiago Cabrera, "Empire"), whose drug addiction is destroying his life and relationship with his girlfriend (Tawny Cypress, NBC�s "Third Watch"), can paint the future. And in Japan, a young man (Masi Oka, NBC's "Scrubs") develops a way to stop time through sheer will power. Yet, unbeknownst to them all, their ultimate destiny is nothing less than saving the world...
