I actually think this is possible. I mean think about it. If you are experiencing the hustle and bustle of the Fall/Winter season like many do (Indoors, visiting with family, attending parties, etc.) during an important developmental stage it could shape your personality.
So maybe it has less to do with birthdays and more to do with your developmental stages and the season within which they coincide.
In short I think it's possible.
I think the reason that zodiac signs often seem to suit their holders, is that the first year of life will be different for a baby born in the cold winter, and kept bundled up indoors, than for a baby born in the early summer who is dressed lightly, without constraint, and who is taken outside among people and activity. Just as wth other mysterious natural phenomena, when we look beyond the woo, there may lurk some proveable reality.
Actually, almost all atheists are Libras. Libras don't even believe in astrology. Proven fact. I read it on the internet somewhere.
Nah! Most Atheists are Aquarians - I know soooo many Atheists that are also Aquarians, so it must be true. Oh, and Pisces, and Cancerians, and....
I could never get over, how does the interpreting work - Supposedly from the moon and gravity - to - 'You are going to have a good day", and "You are going to meet a very rich man from Russia." The shame of it is that a lot of people get ripped off. It is very big business.
As usual, excellent answer Nelson.
@Nelson Great counter! You may be 100% correct regarding astrology? In-fact, I find your response to this subject to be more plausible than mine. The problem I'm faced with at this time is: 1). a lack of intelligence and knowledge to post an opposing reply, 2).a lack of time and energy to research an opposing view to yours, or a supporting view to mine... I spent about 15 years considering myself agnostic until I finally came to the realization that what I was in-fact was atheist. I suspect in do time I will come-around to the conclusion that astrology is also 100% fictional. I have never had anyone present such a strong argument as to why astrology was in a word "rediculous"
1). a lack of intelligence and knowledge to post an opposing reply
Doesn't seem to stop the Christians...Welcome to TA.
I almost felt like making fun of you and saying something mean until I came to this response and you have changed my mind. You have shown an open mind, humility, and respect for your peers opinions. In doing so earned some respect from me.(not something easy to do... I can be very arrogant and I have bean known to have little respect for those who lack intelligence)
I'm a Leo, but I guess I'm more like the doesn't read the news paper to find out how to act that day sign.
Side question - When was everyone born?
I'm an Aquarian......supposedly the "humanitarian of the horoscope and delightfully dotty", according to my "stars" which I read many moons ago. I do consider that I'm a humanitarian but no more so than countless others. As to the "dottiness"......well, that's true. Astrology is nonsense....anyone can make it fit if they're so inclined. My daughter is a Libra and my son-in-law is a Gemini....we're three very committed atheists.....
What do you mean "stereotypical Virgo"? Considering the Earth wobbles on it's axis, we are out of alignment by around two months and more importantly- zodiac signs, astrology, numerology and all that are not based in reality in any way. It is a large load of crap.
Stars that are many light-years away have NO effect on you. The shapes they make from our vantage point on Earth mean zilch and have no effect on who you are, how you behave, who you are "compatible" with, or anything at all.
Vague predictions like "You will experience money and travel" can fit anybody and mean only that you walk (travel) a distance and pick up a penny (money). Not that you will go on a major trip and win the lottery- although that would be a nice coincidence.
But I'll play along and pretend:
For me, what sign I am, depends on who asks-
I am a "Do Not Disturb" sign for most.
I am Slippery When Wet- for pretty girls
According to the "real" horoscope I'm a Taurus, the Bull- Horny, and like astrology, full of shit.
I realize the term atheist means "no belief in god(s)" but I usually find most atheists to be skeptics as well. Skeptical of all Abraca Pocus, other flim flam, frauds, and all outlandish claims that are not backed up by evidence.
And a reply to a post of yours further down about your 4 friends that have "similar tendencies".
I would assume that they wouldn't be your friends if you didn't have something in common. The fact that you share a b-day as well is coincidental.
You and everyone else on the planet- share your birthdate with approximately 17 million people from all over the world- with more added every day. Do you really think you would have "all that" in common with ALL of them?
I'd wager there are more atheists under one particular sign, but only because it probably holds true for the general population of which atheists are a part (owing to patterns in birth rates, not star magic). I'm putting my money on Virgo.
For the record, I am an Aries.

An md5 checksummed xfce x86 Daily from Oct 3, using USB install, worked ok on one machine.
On a portable, more recent hardware, the installed system frozes just before login.
I think this is obviously a hardware problem, but the logs seem to show no error at all.
I uploaded most /var/log logs to http://pastebin.sabayon.org/pastie/7232
Froze = Sabayon blue background "Open your source ..." visible. Mouse cursor visible and responsive.
CTRL-ALT-F1 causes the screen to go black.
After which, CTRL-ALT-F7 which normally switches back to GUI I believe, does nothing.
CTRL+ALT+F2 does nothing.
I tried waiting 15 minutes in case it was some strange network seeking timeout issue.
In recovery mode :
su - user (my login)
starts an apparently normal xfce4 session.
Sabayon eselect, lspci (identical in Live CD and installed systems) and uname output is here:
eselect opengl list
is also identical in Live CD and installed systems).
I will run sabayonlive-tools and upload the results soon.
Why would the login not appear? Yet the graphics hardware allow starting xfce4 manually?

About 100 feet left of "Crescent Arch" is a this beautiful crack that extends almost unbroken for 400 feet. The crux is about 20 feet off the ground, protected by a bolt. The route is obvious.
Stoppers and small to medium cams.
One of the most popular climbs in Tuolumne, for sure! Last time I did it, we were the only party on it. A rare occation.
That's absurd. I wouldn't bring anything bigger than a #3 for this route.
One of the few classic cracks in Tuolumne, bad thing is the approach and then to find 4 groups waiting. Sun hits it late in the day so a later start is ok. Careful on the walk off.
So... Big cams? I've seen guys with 2 #5's on this route! I've never brought anything over a #3 camalot. But, if you're not up for a little runout 5.6? (Very secure climbing) a big cam would give you some pro.
The start of the second pitch is the burliest 5.8 move I've ever done! :-O
Classic! cruiser 5.7 crack on P1 that just sucks up nuts. Solid roof moves that make you work. Used my #11 hex per SuperTopo suggestion.. Glad I brought my #4-used it to protect P2 during the offwidth/face stuff. Great views from the top!
On the gear question: My partner dropped our #4.5 camalot while he was in the offwidth/chimney section of P2. He placed one #4 once and we both severely regret the size/weight of the rack that we brought. I recommend: LOTS of nuts because, oh my gosh, the stunning granite takes it like nothing on earth. Fabulous passive pro. Bring doubles of camalots .5-2, a 3 and maybe a #4 if you like to be super-comfortable, but I wouldn't bother with big gear if I climbed it again.
Agree with others - std rack to #3. If you're in a hurry, stretch P2 into the finger crack section (go ~30 feet above two bolt anchor to left and set hanging belay) and finish in two more pitches (four total, 60m rope). While waiting, have fun watching climbers take on the roof at the start of P2. The desperate worm/squeeze chimney maneuver through the slot of the roof is precious
I dust off my #11 hex for this route. Ability will dictate whether it is worth bringing the #4 BD- note that the climbing is on the face next to the large crack- not in it unless you like shredded skin and clothes. Finger crack on p3 is incredible.
A great route! One of the first routes I climbed in the Meadows and have been back to it several times with friends who want to get a feel for the areas moderate climbing.
First 2 pitches make the route a must do in Tuolumne.
Found the first pitch to be easy for the grade (5.9) and the second pitch hard for the grade (5.8). Love this climb.
Very fun climb. Heard all of the hype about the roof being 'burly' and whatnot...if you have decent footwork, it is very easy and straight forward. 5.7 move, with an adorable squirm to reach relative security. The 5.7 finger crack is incredible and the position of the face climbing next to the wide crack is absolutely spectacular. Hang out for a second there and take in your location because it is simply incredible.
I dont recall having to use any squirm move on the roof. In fact, despite its intimidating appearance it goes quite easily. I was surprised b/c of all the hype. Everything about this route is fun, including the short free hanging rappel. F@#king rad!
Completed West Crack on 6-16-12. I recommend climbing this route in the morning or the late afternoon. The midday sun hits hard on this wall and will make you sweat. The first two pitches are the hardest and the rest is cruising from there. First pitch takes gear up to a BD #2. Doubles in the lower to midsize range are nice but the first pitch eats up nuts too (I placed three.) Second pitch pulls over the crux roof protected by an angle piton and gains the wide crack. Stay out of the crack and climb the knobs to the belay. Those pushing their grade and not comfortable with 5.9 can walk a BD #5 and #6 up the entire second pitch until they have to traverse the 8 feet to the left to gain the bolted belay. Third pitch is cruiser 5.6 knobby finger crack. A 70m rope allows you to set your natural anchor higher which in turn allows the next pitch to top out. Shorter ropes (i.e. 60m or less) will have to complete this section in three pitches. Follow carins to the back of the dome where you can descend via two bolted rap anchors. Single 50m rope gets you to the ground. If you leave packs at the base of the climb, hang them from a tree as marmots frequent the area.
Fun roof. Don't need big cams on the 5.6 section. If you want pro you can stick cams in deep. First 5.9 move isn't too bad. Can rap to ground from top bolts with 2 ropes easily. P3 finger crack is fun and secure. 5.9 move has good feet and is well protected.
Ridiculously crowded, and attracts slow parties. Plan accordingly. Blown Away includes the first 1.5 pitches of this climb--pretty much all the good stuff. Blown away adds a fun traverse and a great steep arete/corner. It's a much better climb. Same start, same crowds, unfortunately.
So. Good. Can be chilly/windy in the morning...
Loved the route. The roof is a little tricky for a follower if your belayer gives you a tight belay (you feel as though your being pulled off the climb a little). The third pitch - the 5.8/5.7 finger/hand crack is incredible and makes the climb well worth it - even if there's a crowd/wait. If you enjoy crack climbing, you will love the third pitch. If you skip the third pitch to do Blown Away, I feel sorry for you (unless you prefer traversing to crack climbing). The descent was absolutely easy and pleasant. two, single-rope rappels, then an easy walk off the descent gully with well marked trail. You can find the bolted rappel station by the tree nearest to fairview dome.

One of our closest relatives, sharing 97% of the same DNA, the world's two species of orang-utan are only found on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra, and are the largest tree-dwelling mammals.
Enjoy the exhilarating experience of a lifetime travelling into Borneo. Its rainforests are blessed with a stunning botanical diversity and unique wildlife which you can discover as part of a small group on this fascinating tour. You'll meet orang-utans of Sepilok and a stay on Selingan Turtle Island which gives you a great opportunity to see turtle hatchlings.
This tour includes two nights aboard aircraft if flying with Royal Brunei or with Malaysia Airlines.
Please note: Due to Selingan Island Chalet being the only accommodation on the island, it may be necessary for the itinerary to follow a different order on some departures. All excursions detailed will still be included, as will the total number of nights at each hotel/lodge. In addition, to ensure that you can enjoy a stay on Selingan, groups may be split to follow different itineraries on the same departure.
If you're happy walking for three or four hours a day and you don't mind steep slopes and rough ground, these moderately-paced tours should be perfect for you. This rating also applies to some of our Active Explorer cruises, as there will be gangplanks and ladders to negotiate.
After taking Saga's included UK VIP door-to-door travel service to Heathrow, depart in the morning for your overnight flight to Kota Kinabulu.
Stay one night on an all-inclusive basis at the Magellan Sutera Resort (5Q).

Its principle activities are product development and professional services surrounding Spaceo.us, an innovative Enterprise Social Software platform. "In a traditional Java project, we can spend weeks writing the initial code to set up the infrastructure, which is just the "plumbing" code. In Groovy and Grails, we can do that in a couple of hours with plug-ins. " "If we had built our prototype in Java, we would have only been able to deliver a quarter to a third of the functionality we produced in Groovy and Grails." "We have even greater confidence in Groovy and Grails now that it is backed by SpringSource." Anda Builds Robust and Economical Applications with SpringANDA, founded in 1992, has become the 4th largest distributor of generic pharmaceuticals in the U.S. With over 7,000 items in stock, Anda's product assortment also includes select brands, vaccines, injectables, medical/surgical supplies, oral dosage medications and OTCs/Vitamins. "Spring is where I start on every project. It's the glue that holds everything together. Spring is indispensable in enterprise Java development today." "Spring enables us to get up and running fast, with the functionality and security we need. I can't imagine starting a project without it." "The amount of code in our latest application would require the work of a lot more people and a lot more time, if we were not using Spring."

Read the CAS Severn Case Study... "In Groovy and Grails it is easy to build a prototype very fast and show it to the client. This is the perfect tool for prototyping." "A new developer can ramp up on Groovy and Grails in a couple weeks. It would take several months, maybe even a year, to get up to speed on our old in-house framework." "The great value of Groovy and Grails is less code, which means less maintenance, and that saves time. Because of the conventions, any developer that knows Grails can look at the code and immediately understand what is going on. This makes maintenance much easier." Spring Helps Cornell University Quickly Scale Application for Multiple Web PortalsRead the Cornell University Case Study... "It used to take up to four weeks of developer time to produce a portal and now it's down to a day with Spring." "Spring enables us to provide more responsive service to customers because all portals get new features as soon as they are available." "When our time investment and developer resources on portal development are minimized due to Spring, this helps our bottom line and we can serve more organizations and reach more people."

European Patent Office Cuts Time-to-Market, Maintenance and Cost with Groovy Dynamic LanguageThe European Patent Office (EPO) is the patent granting authority of Europe, founded on the European Patent Convention, an agreement between 36 countries. EPO's main responsibility is to examine patent applications and grant European patents, processing more than 140,000 patent applications per year. Read the European Patent Office Case Study... "Groovy has allowed us to reduce the cost of our development resources by half. Previously, we used to have 8 developers assigned to these tasks, but now our team has 5 developers." "On the maintenance side, we move twice as fast with Groovy, compared to our previous platform. When you read a script written in our Groovy DFL, you don't have all the Java syntax, you go straight to the point, making it easily maintainable." "When there was a major change to a data flow, it used to take a month at least…But in Groovy it only takes two weeks." eHarmony Improves Productivity and Reduces Cycle Times with Spring IntegrationSanta Monica, Calif.-based eHarmony, Inc. was founded in 2000 and is a pioneer in using relationship science to match singles seeking longterm relationships.

Read the eHarmony Case Study... "Our engineers can stand up the backbone of a new service in Spring Integration in a day, or even hours. In the past, it could take as much as four times longer. Spring Integration means less development effort, less debugging, better architecture. Time-to-market and cycle times are greatly reduced." "Spring Integration lets us get the job done so we can be competitive. We spend more time focusing on the business logic and less time focusing on how to get the pieces to communicate." "Spring Integration is a good foundation to build our logical service components on because of the Spring-friendly architecture, testability and reliability ...

Read the eHarmony Case Study... "Groovy enabled us to quickly write scripts. I wrote the data retrieval script in a day, even with everything else I had to do. It would have added days to write the same simple script in Java." "Any enhancement we can develop quickly using Groovy makes a big difference to the whole eHarmony ecosystem." "Coding in Groovy is fun. You can try many different approaches in Groovy. You can go down a path and explore it to the max."

Written by Michelle Kretzer
We're happy to report a favorable development in this case: A court has denied a motion by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to dismiss the lawsuit brought against the agency by PETA, the Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF), and two Fayetteville-area residents seeking to overturn the USDA's renewal of Jambbas Ranch Tours' license to continue to operate the wretched roadside zoo that has racked up dozens of violations of the federal Animal Welfare Act (AWA).
The ruling comes in the wake of the recent high-profile rescue of Ben the bear, who now resides in a spacious habitat at a sanctuary in California, thanks to the ruling in the earlier lawsuit mentioned below.
PETA's challenge to the licenses will move forward, but the animals at Jambbas have no time to lose—please urge USDA officials to revoke Jambbas' license immediately and offer these animals the chance to live out their lives with the kind of comfort and dignity that Ben now enjoys.
Originally posted on April 19th, 2012:
Citizens of Cumberland County, North Carolina, who are sickened by Jambbas Ranch Tours' pervasive neglect and abuse of animals have joined PETA and the Animal Legal Defense Fund in suing the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) over its renewal of Jambbas' license despite chronic violations of the Animal Welfare Act (AWA).
The AWA allows an animal exhibitor or dealer to have his or her license renewed only if the person's business operates in accordance with AWA regulations. But the USDA has repeatedly renewed Jambbas' license despite the fact that every single inspection of the roadside zoo between October 2006 and January 2012 resulted in citations for AWA violations including the following:
This is the second pending lawsuit involving Jambbas Ranch. The other suit seeks to have an abused bear named Ben removed from Jambbas and relocated to a sanctuary where PETA has made arrangements for him to live. In this sad video, Ben paces in his barren cage, bites the chain-link fencing, pushes against it, and tries to reach under it—behavior a bear expert has identified as a cry for help:
In asking the USDA not to renew Jambbas' license, PETA also pointed out several violations of the AWA that relate to Ben, including a lack of adequate space, which is likely causing his repetitive, abnormal behavior.
Jambbas is clearly not qualified to possess an AWA license. We will keep you updated as the lawsuit progresses.
By submitting this form, you are agreeing to our collection, storage, use, and disclosure of your personal info in accordance with our privacy policy as well as to receiving e-mails from us.
If you have a general question for PETA and would like a response, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. If you need to report cruelty to an animal, please click here. If you are reporting an animal in imminent danger and know where to find the animal and if the abuse is taking place right now, please call your local police department. If the police are unresponsive, please call PETA immediately at 757-622-7382 and press 2.

Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay
Director : Jon Hurwitz & Hayden Schlossberg
Screenplay : Jon Hurwitz & Hayden Schlossberg
MPAA Rating : R
Year of Release : 2008
Stars : John Cho (Harold Lee), Kal Penn (Kumar Patel), Rob Corddry (Ron Fox), Jack Conley (Deputy Frye), Roger Bart (Dr. Beecher), Neil Patrick Harris (Neil Patrick Harris), Danneel Harris (Vanessa), Eric Winter (Colton), Paula Garcés (Maria), Jon Reep (Raymus), Missi Pyle (Raylene), Mark Munoz (Cyrus), James Adomian (George W. Bush), Beverly D'Angelo (Sally)
Little has changed for Harold and Kumar, the eponymous duo who went searching for sliders to quench their dope-fueled munchies back in 2004. Of course, that makes perfect sense since Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay takes place less than an hour after the events of Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle ended. Harold (John Cho), the Korean Jack Lemmon to Kumar's (Kal Penn) Indian Walter Matthau, are getting ready to head to Amsterdam in hot pursuit of Harold's crush, Maria (Paula Garcés).
Alas, just as their search for the perfect food landed them on a comic nightmare journey through the backwoods of New Jersey in White Castle, their planned European odyssey is quickly deep-sixed when Kumar's new invention--a smokeless bong--is mistaken for a bomb by the crowd of nonwhite-fearing tourists on the plane, and he and Harold, immediately labeled terrorists, are hauled off by the U.S. government to the infamous prison at Guantanamo Bay. Thus, while White Castle took a few pointed jabs at issues of race, the new film makes race, nationality, and the hysteria associated with both its primary target, turning its multi-ethnic 21st-century Odd Couple into fugitives who must navigate through prejudice, pompousness, and general idiocy to clear their names.
Written and directed by Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, whose only claim to fame is having also written the first film, Escape From Guantanamo Bay is expectedly uneven and somewhat derivative, but nonetheless works quite well given that, unlike most gross-gag comedies, it has a devious political agenda. Because Hurwitz and Schlossberg make said agenda so blatantly obvious this time around, carting out everything from a midnight Ku Klux Klan rally, to a virulently racist and idiotic Homeland Security operative played by Rob Corddry, to a George W. Bush impersonator who smokes grass and laughs openly about his hypocrisy, Escape From Guantanamo Bay is a bash-the-Right fest disguised as a lowbrow stoner odyssey. The first movie worked better because the material felt fresh; here it works because it is so fundamentally unapologetic in its crass take on contemporary politics, even if said politics are a bit uneven (for all its criticism of the government, the film ultimately makes Bush seem like a fairly cool dude).
We also learn a little bit more about our lead characters, particularly Kumar, who has previously been defined primarily by his boorishness and selfishness, but is now shown to have a soft side. In a subplot involving his his ex-girlfriend Vanessa (Danneel Harris) and her snobbish neocon fiancée Colton (Eric Winter), we learn that Kumar does, in fact, have a heart, and we also get an amusing flashback that shows how he morphed from a high-strung college math geek into the epitome of no-worries repose. To that end, Harold takes a bit of a backseat, but it's only fair since the first movie chronicled his romantic obsessions.
Some of Escape From Guantanamo Bay simply retreads variations of the first movie, including the duo's uncomfortable sojourn in the backwoods cabin of a Louisiana redneck (Jon Reep) and his smiley wife (Missi Pyle), not to mention the return of Neil Patrick Harris as a 'shroom-inducing, oversexed version of Neil Patrick Harris. His appearance here isn't nearly as funny as it was in the first film, simply because back in 2004 it was so deliriously unexpected (plus, at that time Harris hadn't elevated caddishness to an art form each week on How I Met Your Mother). Harris definitely has some amusing moments, the best of which involves Corddry's agent falling into a fan-induced stupor in his presence, not because of his iconic role as Doogie Howser, M.D., but rather because he played a rising fascist in Starship Troopers (1997).
By the time Harold and Kumar crash through the roof of George W. Bush's country getaway and toke up with the President because he's trying to escape the wrath of Cheney, the movie has started to wear out its premise and its point (not to mention the fact that the make-up used to make actor James Adomian look more like Dubya is just kinda creepy). Nevertheless, Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay makes good on its promise to push buttons and turn the gross-out comedy on its ear by showing that the personal truly is political.

MontCo Seeks Grant for Inmate Re-Entry Program
Montgomery County Commissioners approved an application for $185,000 in federal grant funds for the program.
Montgomery County Commissioners are seeking a grant to fund a 12-month pilot program for the Montgomery County Correctional Facility to help inmates find gainful employment after being released.
According to a press release from Montgomery County, 62 percent of inmates in Montgomery County return to prison.
"The recidivism rate, while better than the national average, is too high," said Josh Shapiro, chairman of the Montgomery County Board of Commissioners. "And we need to do something about it."
This week, the commissioners approved the application for a $185,000 federal grant that would supplement $270,00 in state workforce development funds.
The program will include job readiness, classroom instruction, individual career counseling, assessment and training, job placement and employment retention support, according to Warden Julio Algarin.
"The more we can do to help the people be successful when they leave prison, to be able to reacclimatize to life, to get a job, to be able to care for their families and to avoid having to go back to prison, that's the goal of this initiative," Shapiro said.
The program will begin with 15 prescreened participants, and will add participants every quarter going forward.

geta grip shapiro...why is the recidIvism quota too high....?????? duh??? r u serious..............find another way to use taxpayers money.
7:17 pm on Friday, February 8, 2013
these programs exist now and have for some time and have made very little difference. most of them dont want to work, and section 8 and foods stamps makes there really be no reason to work Dont waste tax payers money

Great! Using more taxpaper's money for these bums. I am so angry! Does it occur to anyone that these criminals don't want to work. They want to continue doing the same things (example, drugs) that landed them there in the first place. This is after learning that Montgomery County Victim Service's budget has been cut drastically! Really? What is wrong with this picture. How about changing Act 84 so that the victim can collect restitution while they are in prison. How about putting money into means of going after these bums who owe victims their restitution. They get free lawyers for being criminals while the victims cannot get free lawyers to help them. How is it that that these criminals (like burglers) can know where the victim lives but their information on getting out of prison is "confidential". Unbelievable! This system needs TO CHANGE FAST!
10:01 pm on Monday, February 11, 2013
Lorraine 613 u have no idea what ur talking about. There are some of us who have been in jail or had drug problems who used the programs the county had to help themselves. So until u walk in my shoes or anyone elses keep your comments to yourself. Yes there are some people who abuse the system but. Some truly want to better themselves. It is people like you it what is wrong with this world.

TriviaNite: ABWA holds fundraiser
By Marthe Stinton, firstname.lastname@example.com
The Colony charter chapter of the American Business Women's Association is known for helping women in the community and having a little fun while doing it. This month, the ABWA is hosting an annual fundraiser that's par for the course - TriviaNite.
TriviaNite is scheduled from 7 to 10 p.m. March 23 at The Frisco Party Hall. Tickets are $20 per person through March 16; after March 16, the price increases to $25 per person. Food and soft drinks are included in the ticket price.
The upcoming TriviaNite will be the associations third and largest, said Valerie Bartley, publicity chair for the ABWA.
Bartley said the event draws between 75 and 125 people, and the association has brought in more than $2,500 over the course of the evening.
"The money raised will help women advance their education and attend national ABWA leadership and regional conferences," she said.
The Colony charter chapter is looking for new members. Regularly scheduled meetings are held from 7-8:30 p.m. in Austin Ranch on the second Tuesday of the month. Each program includes a business-related topic and dinner.
For details, email the membership chair at email@example.com. For information about American Business Women's Association, visit abwa.org.
ABWA's Mission
To bring together businesswomen of diverse occupations and to provide opportunities for them to help themselves and others grow personally and professionally through leadership; education, networking support and national recognition.
Together: We believe our collective wisdom is the professional woman's greatest untapped resource. Everyone has a skill, ability or advice that will benefit the woman next to you. It's the ultimate networking circle.
Diversity: ABWA is all-inclusive. Here diversity is more than race, age, creed or color. It's blue-collar, white-collar, CEOs, MBAs and telecommuters who never leave their home office. Our members own their businesses, or aspire to become the next entrepreneurs.
Leadership: In addition to assuming leadership positions within local chapters and networks, members have the opportunity to run for national office, a seat on our National Board of Directors.
Education: Lots of groups claim they offer professional development, but that's a promise we honor. At District and National Conferences, ABWA is proud to partner with such renowned groups as the University of Kansas School of Business, FranklinCovey, and Rockhurst University.
National Recognition: By its very nature, recognition is loaded with positive reinforcement. It is an essential component of career development - whether the recognition is on the job or through your professional association. With such programs as Best Practices and the Top Ten Business Women of ABWA, members receive recognition on both the local and national level for personal and professional achievements.

1. | vendetta | ||
to have revenge, in italian "we'll have our vendetta, soon"
2. | Vendetta | ||
A feud between two families or clans that arises out of a slaying and is perpetuated by retaliatory acts of revenge; a blood feud. Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.
3. | Vendetta | ||
Vendetta Nation... a music group/record label from Toledo, Ohio currently residing in Jacksonville, Florida. Current members of the group include: Beast Boy (Taariq Sheares), Kallahann Shaw (Hann), and Don B (Donald Lloyd).
They have created a massive movement throughout the United States traveling twenty-six states and sixty-six cities, distributing cd's and creating a large fan base. Vendetta has had the opportunity to open for notable names such as: T.I., Young Dro, Grand Hustle, Lil Wayne, Baby(Birdman), T-Payne, Jim Jones, Dipset, Murphy Lee, Lil Boosie, Lil Webbie, Gucci Mane, G-Unit, Mike Jones, And Trillville. You can follow them on facebook, just search Vendetta Nation. The group also has a music video on youtube called "Makin' Money". Vendetta, what's betta?
I heard VN is performing at ((insert club name)) tonight... are you going? I am! |
4. | vendetta | ||
Term used to describe what "V" had against a totalitarian goverment that was led by a corrupt dictator. V for Vendetta "The Movie"
5. | vendetta | ||
Vendetta:if you do something to piss off people that they would want to get their gang members and beat the crap out of you then you would have sparked a vendetta kinda like the movie v for vendetta the wanker talking in parliament said that African Americans are no longer allowed in certain clubs, this triggered a vendetta between the African Americans and the people voting for the guy in parliament.

I have an Impish Meganium, and I learned not that long ago, that Meganium can't learn Stealth Rock... Because of this issue for me, must now replace that move with something else. Any suggestions?
• My current Moveset is: - Synthesis - Toxic - Protect
I was thinking Aromatherapy, Energy Ball, or Something, but let me know what you guys think.
Always use one last attacking move on a Stall, otherwise Taunters will punish you in no time. I'd say either to use a strong STAB move like Giga Drain (w/ Big Root) or Energy Ball (With Meadow Plate / Miracle Seed / Wise Glasses), or use a more versatile attack like Return for that reliable damage that is only resisted by two types.
Light Screen, Reflect, Leech Seed, Aromatherapy, etc, are all great utilities that Meganium can use (I'm a fan for Pokemon with supportive/Defensive niches), but the idea of a Pokemon like that is not to support TOO much, otherwise you become predictable, and without the element of the unknown, supporters have nothing.
Well, at least one non-status move would by nice. Giga Drain - but you already have Synthesis, which may be way better. So, the answer is, Light Screen, Energy Ball or Leech Seed (egg move only)
If you want Attack Magical Leaf is the way to go.
Status you should put Growth.
I think you should get light screen because impish is +defence this way if you use toxic and start using protect if protect fails you may survive aslo you can use endure but only if it is low level

Strong winds and snow contributed to a few drivers crashing, though no one was serious hurt Sunday in northwestern Connecticut.
Few people ventured along the sidewalks of Torrington and Winsted on a frigid and blustery day.
A high temperature in the mid teens, sustained winds blowing between 15 to 25 mph, and several inches of snow resulted in many folks staying indoors.
"Today is the kind of day when people should limit their time outdoors," National Weather Service meteorologist Hugh Johnson said.
"It's nasty out there. No one should try anything stupid."
As the windchill measured -6 degrees in Torrington on Sunday afternoon, the weather service in Albany, N.Y., issued a winter weather advisory for Litchfield County due to snow and blowing snow.
While the windchill was cold, it was not low enough for the weather service to issue a warning advising people to limit or avoid being outdoors.
"We're not quite reaching the levels necessary to constitute a wind chill advisory," Johnson said.
"A major problem is black ice. (Road crews) drop sand and salt on roads, and the snow melts. Because the temperature is 10 to 15 degrees, ice forms on the pavement."
Once the wind chill drops much below zero, people with unexposed flesh will eventually get frost bite, Johnson said. Continued...
Factors such as a person's health and how long ago one ate a meal contribute to whether a person can safely be outside in windchills below zero.
The weather service issues a windchill warning when the windchill is between 15 below to 20 below zero.
When the wind chill is between 25 below to 30 below, the weather service issues an "extremely dangerous" warning.
"A wind chill in the 5 below to 10 below range is still dangerous and can bring frost bite to exposed skin," he said.
Snowfall tallies varied greatly in northwestern Connecticut by 3 p.m. Whereas Thomston had received 1 inch, Winchester 1.8 inches, and Litchfield 2.5 inches, North Canaan had received 6 inches by that time.
On Sunday afternoon, motorists averaged 45 mph on a snow-slickened Route 8 in Torrington and Winsted; this zone has a posted speed limit of 65 mph.
The snow and winds contributed to some cars spinning off the road and crashing but there were not reports of serious car wrecks, state and local police departments said.
Police assisted stranded motorists alongside highways until tow trucks arrived to pull vehicles back on the roadways.
Winds were forecast to subside by Sunday night into Monday morning, and a low temperature was forecast to be between 5 and 10 degrees.
Torrington averages a high around 32 and a low around 12 degrees at this time of year. The city also gets about 45 to 50 inches of snow per year. Continued...
