more fun with craigslist "missed connections"
last weeks inaugural edition was so much fun that i just couldn't help myself from again reaching down into the little cookie jar of hilarity that is craigslist "missed connections". it's just too easy for me to do so and waaaay too tempting. temptation is my slutty mistress. alas, i will always fall into bed with her.
last week i placed an ad posing as a smitten hipster girl whose "nipples could have sliced through glass" searching desperately for that cute and skinny hipster boy that she saw on the L train that morning.
for this one i decided to chance the scenery a bit and reverse the roles. so this week we venture out to the left coast, LA, hollywood, the land of big dreams and even bigger mams, and pose as a boy looking for a girl. the responses that i received were fewer than the post on the NYC craigslist, but still there was gold in them there hills. i intentionally made this one ridiculously absurd and doing so resulted in some callouts, of which the final one is the funniest of all to me. that one smelled this rat from 3000 miles away. there is also one from a woman seeking to exploit my imaginary missed connections poster's heartbreaking anguish for her own gain.
so LA.
the responses overall were fewer than last weeks but all were funny. does fewer victims this week mean that LA girls are smarter and more savvy than nyc hipster boys or are ny hipster boys just more bold and desperate than the LA girls they love to loathe.
i make no judgments. that it is up to you the reader to ultimately decide.
"the grove", by the way, is a big shopping mecca in west hollywood.
without further adieu, here is my original post...
intolerably cute girl at the grove this past weekend - m4w

i've lived in LA for 6 years now and i've never been struck dumb by the sight of a girl like i am by you right now.
i can remember exactly where i was when i first saw you...i was fondling organic avacados for freshness at the farmers market at the grove. i saw you out of the corner of my eye and did a double take. not only were you so goddamn intolerably cute but you had an aura, a presence, a spirit...I COULD FEEL YOU!
in a split second your image was engrained into my brain and i can't get you out of it for the life of me. i can still see your adorable tanned face wearing those big sunglasses, the radiant glow of your perfectly white smile and your perky breasts snuggled beneath your shirt(at the very least i need to meet you so that i can get the name of the doc who did your job...my sis needs a recommendation.)
my instincts told me to run to you, but like a coward i hesitated and poof...you were gone. i dropped the avocados and searched everywhere...abercrombie and fitch, the coffee bean, the gap, nordstrom, coach, michael kors...ALL of the places i thought that you might be.
the sad thing is that i had watched "the secret" the night before and in less than 24 hours i failed to follow it's principals. i failed to allow my destiny to take me on my journey. i thought instead of following my instinct. and i lost you. and now i can't get you out of my head. i worked all day yesterday as adrian grenier's stand-in and i just couldn't focus on the work because of you.
i know this is a longshot but i have to try. if you're out there and reading this, find me.
you're the song that i can't get off my mind.
yeah...beaucoup frommage. below are the responses in all of their glory...

I was at the farmers market at the grove last weekend and my friend
Sally did spot a boy who looked like A. Grenier. We're both tanned
with perky boobies I'm a blond, she's a brunette and were both hot
so I have no idea whicih one of us you had the hots for but were
both hot so it could have been either of us. As for ur sister and the
work she needs done she should see Dr. Pam Mirabaldi in Beverly Hills.
Shes a little expensive but shes great and she does gyno as well .

This is probably not what you're looking for, but I may be able to help you. My name is [redacted] and I'm working on a documentary about missed opportunities and chances not taken. I was really moved by the passion you articulated in your words and I feel that you might be a subject worth exploring on film. I presume that you're an actor so this could be a vehicle that provides great exposure for you and may even help you find the potential love of your life that you missed out on.
Please contact me at the number below if you'd like to explore this further. Good luck otherwise.

The dictionary describes the word prolific as "characterized by abundant production", and in the game of soccer prolific athletes are crucial to success. Since 1993, MLS has thrived on these dynamic players that can lead a team to championship status by their prolific abilities. Unlike other leagues, MLS is progressive and continues to add franchises to the sport, this gives special players an opportunity to build the foundation of an entire organization. Leagues in Europe generally have a variety of high priced players feeding in and out of clubs and it is rare to select one player who defines an organization from top to bottom. These are not just the "designated players" in MLS, these are the men who define their club and would be your first signing choice if you were a new manager in the league. This isn't a list of top scorers, playmakers, or designated players; this is a list of the guys with the "it" factor, and the ones you would want to be the face of your franchise.
Top 10 Most Prolific Players in MLS (Players you would start a franchise with)
10.Dan Kennedy (Chivas USA): After returning to MLS in 2008, Kennedy quickly became one of the most exciting keepers in the league. Although his club has struggled, Kennedy is typically the only Goat shown on the highlight real with his finger tips saves and fiery energy on the pitch.
9. Jay DeMerit (Vancouver Whitecaps): The former US National defender returned to North America after a long European spell and has solidified his name as one of the greatest American defenders in history. His intensity on the pitch and calm demeanor in the locker room make him a player, fan, and media favorite. DeMerit understands hard work and what it takes to be a successful professional at any level of the game.
8. Mauro Rosales (Seattle Sounders): The Argentine came to the US last summer for the Seattle Sounders and immediately made an impact as a playmaking midfielder. Rosales secured the captain's armband in 2012, a testament to his leadership on and off the pitch. Rosales ability on the set piece, ball-handling, and passing skills can make even the most frustrated strikers into scoring machines (ask Eddie Johnson)
7. Chris Wondolowski (San Jose Earthquake): The 29 year old hasn't always been a household name in MLS, and was once a struggling journeyman looking for a chance to shine. Since arriving in California, Wondo has scored 54 goals and is on pace to set the season goal record for MLS. Hard work, dedication, and patience has brought Wondolowski to superstar status and his keen eye for the net makes him a perfect fit for any offensive struggling club.
6. Thierry Henry (New York Red Bulls): I might receive criticism for this choice based on Henry's questionable attitude, but you can't overstate his impact on the league and his club since coming to New York in 2010. Although the Frenchman has struggled with injuries in America, his 26 goals in 51 appearances for Red Bulls has brought the club to the longest winning stretch in their franchise history. Henry might not be a "grind it out" player, but his moments of brilliance on the pitch cannot be reenacted by any player on earth.
5. David Beckham (LA Galaxy): The "Beckham Experiment" may have struggled during it's inception, but last season's MLS Cup winners LA Galaxy wouldn't give up the Englishman for anything. He continues to still be the best free-kick taker in the world and his reputation has brought other global stars to American shores. Beckham was a risk, but his new loyalty to MLS and American soccer makes him one of the greatest sporting investments ever.
4. Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake): The defensive midfielder's career has never left MLS or the rocky mountains for that matter. His impact on the league is more than just the dreadlocks; Beckerman is a leader on and off the pitch. His signature look and playing style have turned him into an MLS icon including leading one of the greatest franchises to an MLS Cup in 2009. He may not be known for goal scoring, but when he does hit the back of the net, it usually is at a crucial moment.
3. Brad Davis (Houston Dynamo): The two-time MLS Cup winner may not be the most exciting player on the field but he is an invaluable force both defensively and offensively. Since arriving to Houston in 2006, Davis has quickly asserted himself as the leader, controlling the pace of the game with smart decisions in the midfield. His presence has been crucial to Houston, in evidence last season when Davis was injury as Houston struggled in midfield control during the MLS Cup versus LA.
2. Dwayne DeRosario (DC United): Like Beckerman, the Canadian goal scorer has been a staple in MLS lore. With four MLS Cups, two MLS Cup MVPs, two Canadian Championships, Gold Cup Winner, and last year's MLS MVP, DeRosario has more hardware than any North American player in MLS. DeRosario has scored 98 goals with five different clubs, impacting the squad on the field each and every stop. After moving to DC United mid-season in 2011, DeRosario scored 18 goals in 36 games and brought the club from last place to competing for a playoff spot. DeRosario is one of the best MLS products ever, both on and off the field.
1. Landon Donovan (LA Galaxy): Arguably the greatest American soccer player of all-time, Donovan will go down in history as the face of building MLS into the league it is today. Other than a few spells at Everton, since 2001 Landon Donovan has been a loyal and dedicated superstar to MLS growth. From his rambunctious youth to his dominating prime, Donovan's creativity on offensive and hard work on defense has made him beloved by fans and media alike. Even the EPL faithful quickly fell in love with the American's intensity and clutch goal scoring, showing the positive results Donovan can provide. His resume is self-explanatory, no other MLS player has captured the minds, hearts, and attention of the world like Landon Donovan.

While I am in Halloween mode, and since I just recently showed off the Apple Outfit I made for Princess, I thought I would show you this one too.
Look at the mess we made carving pumpkins the night before! I hope I learned my lesson about carving on the front steps. :)
This is a simple strip skirt made from Halloween fabric.
Of course, I made the bows to match and used some of the fabric to embroider simple patches onto the shirt.
Now that I think of it, if I disappear for a while, you might find me making another one of these for her. This was darn cute!
I also wanted to mention that the blog button I made for my new Theme Party Thursday linky (and in this post) was created using elements and papers which were designed by Colie's Corner and used with permission according to the Terms of Use. If you are a scrapper, stop by her blog and check out her cute designs!
Have a great day!

What would you guys think of a role playing mod being implemented on this server once the new map arrives with the game release??
I have seen some good ones out there, but have not done extensive research on this yet. Does anyone know of any good RPG mods out there? Is anyone even interested in this??
Personally, I would LOVE to see this implemented (to reward hard work and diligence to those who actually do their work legitimately).
For Example:
The server I was on before had one that unlocks all the different tools after a certain amount of using them. The same applied for armour and other objects.

Back in elementary school, I loved reading those "Choose Your Own Adventure" books. They'd begin like a normal book, but at the end of each page, you'd be faced with a decision that radically altered the story.
Finishing touches are the little differences that elevate the merely good into the great - things like the blue-cheese-stuffed olives at the bottom of your Grey Goose martini, or rolling in that curling birdie putt on the 18th hole at Pebble Beach.
Years ago, a friend of mine qualified to play in the California State Amateur Golf Tournament, and he asked me to caddy for him. This was a big event, held at two difficult courses against the toughest competition in the state, so having a good caddy by his side was important.
The simplest things in life often yield the most pleasure. A cold beer after a hard day working in the yard. A parking space with time left on the meter. A funny fortune cookie at the end of a Chinese dinner.
This past winter, my wife and I spent three wonderful weeks touring Italy. Although traveling abroad always provides interesting experiences, we stumbled across some peculiarities that really showed we weren't in America anymore. For one, the cost of a cappuccino is directly related to where you drink it. Stand at the counter, and it might be $1.50.
While it's relatively easy to find good components, it's a lot harder to find ways to get them to play nice with each other. And that challenge has only gotten greater as components have become more complex and setups more elaborate.
Forget about DLP vs. LCoS or Blu-ray vs. HD DVD. The biggest battle heating up in the home-entertainment world right now is over who's going to rule the next generation of gaming. And Microsoft just launched the first strike - 100 megatons worth of silicon known as Xbox 360.

Smart TVs from Finlux offer you access to BBC iPlayer & other great Online Apps at your finger tips. Internet connected Televisions put you in control of what you watch and most of our Internet TVs also feature Freeview HD for subscription-free HD entertainment.
A Smart TV is a TV that'll bring on demand and catch-up TV services directly to the comfort of your living room sofa.
Finlux Smart TVs come with BBC iPlayer - allowing you catch-up with all your favourite TV and radio shows from BBC One, BBC Two, BBC Three and BBC Radio stations throughout the UK. The easy-to-use App will store the last 7 days worth of programming so you'll never miss out again.
Sit back and share some of the funniest videos in the world via the YouTube App, whilst for social media fans there's simple access to Twitter and Facebook, as well as sites such as eBay!
You'll also be able to enjoy video on demand services via Viewster – offering you a range of movies ready to go when you are.
To connect your Smart TV you can use the bundled USB Wi-Fi dongle in your TV box and connect to your home Wi-Fi connection. Alternatively you can plug in an Ethernet cable into the back of your TV from your home network, so you'll either need a cable long enough to stretch from your network point or look into buying a Homeplug that'll carry your internet connection through your power supply.
When you turn your Finlux Smart TV on you'll get to a screen full of great 'Apps' - specifically designed for your TV, handing you a seamless user experience. We're constantly working to bring you new and exciting Apps and when they become available they'll be automatically added to your TV!
Current Apps include:
DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) is about sharing and enjoying your saved content across all your technology at home. It's formed from an organisation of over 250 of the world's elite consumer electronics, personal computer and mobile organisations to allow easy sharing of content in every home.
It'll allow you to play music from your laptop upstairs on your home cinema system in your living room, watch downloaded movies directly on you TV as well as go through holiday snaps on a connected smartphone.
It's arrived - the Smart App from Finlux that'll transform your viewing experience and make your Smart TV all the more enjoyable.
If you've got an Apple iPod Touch, iPhone or iPad then you can download the Finlux Smart Remote App now for free. As long as your mobile device and your TV are connected to your wireless router then you'll be able to pair the TV to your mobile device immediately when you launch the App.
It'll then allow you to select up, down, left & right as well as select the different coloured button options. Swipe to the left and you'll be presented with a keypad for typing in the desired channel number or swipe to the right and you'll be able to increase or decrease the volume and flick up and down the channels.
By selecting the motions tab at the bottom of the screen your mobile device suddenly becomes like a magic wand, TV. flick your mobile device up and your tv will impressively respond with moving options upwards, flick to the side and your TV will move to the side.
The keyboard tab allows for comfortable typing without having to use your remote to work its way around a Qwerty keyboard. This easy-typing method makes social media and searching for content a breeze.
How do i get it?
You can download the free app from the Apple App Store by searching 'Finlux Smart Remote' from within the store.
What are the requirements:
Compatible with iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. Requires iOS 3.0 or later.
All our Smart TVs offer a USB Wireless Dongle as standard in the box. Connecting to the internet is very straight forward. Simply plug your Dongle into your TVs USB slot and select your home broadband Wi-Fi from the list.
If you're using an Ethernet cable then you can just slot it into the TVs Ethernet port.
A TV with 100hz will be ideal for sports fans and action movie buffs. The smooth processing power of the TV allows for fast-paced action to be presented in a blur-free manner.
A standard TV broadcast is composed of 25 frames (pictures) per second. Each frame is split into two 'fields' for transmission. Each of these 'fields' contains a half of the lines (the odd number of lines in one, even numbers in the other). These fields are transmitted at twice the frame rate... thus 50Hz!
Your TV then cleverly creates the full picture by scanning the odd numbered lines, followed by the even.
An 100Hz TV will do all this.. but twice over and in the same time. This helps reduce blurring and visible flicking as you're effectively seeing 50 frames per second instead of the 25.
All our TVs have integrated Freeview or Freeview HD tuners. Freeview is the easiest way to enjoy digital TV for free. You can get up to 50 TV channels through your aerial with no subscription and no contract. A TV with Freeview HD will allow you to also enjoy an extra 4 HD channels including BBC One HD, BBC HD, Channel 4 HD and ITV 1 HD.
HD will bring you up to 5 times the details of standard definition with stunning picture quality, clarity and sharpness. The increased depth and realism will really bring your programmes to life.

New Disney characters join Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party
Walt Disney World is kicking off its Christmas season tonight, and there are a few surprises in store for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, the first of which is Tuesday. New characters will make appearances in the Magic Kingdom during the separate-ticket event.
Duffy the Disney Bear will join the festivities on a float in Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, which is performed twice each evening. When he is not entertaining guests, Duffy will pose for photos in Town Square and he'll be dressed for the holidays.
Phineas and Ferb will come over from Disney's Hollywood Studios and greet guests in Tomorrowland. The duo began daily play-and-greets at the neighboring theme park this summer.
As is tradition for the parties, Mickey and Minnie will be dressed in their Christmas finest, and most other characters will have a holiday look, including scarves. It does "snow" on Main Street, U.S.A., after all!
Party-goers will also find rarely seen Disney characters, such as Snow White and her dwarfs all together in Frontierland. And, of course, Santa Claus will be on hand in Town Square — when he's not in the parade — to talk with children about their hearts' desires.
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party takes place Nov. 8, 9, 11, 13, 15, 18, 27, 29, 30 and Dec. 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, 11, 13, 14, 16, 18 from 7 p.m. until midnight. Day-of-event pricing is $62.95 and $57.95 for ages 3 to 9. Savings of $6 per ticket are available if tickets are purchased in advance. Visit Disneyworld.com/holidays for details.

About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children, Working Parent
My six year old daughter loves this. It's fancy with cute detail. I'm not sure about outdoor use, but good for indoor though takes up alot of room. The big downside is it is hard to assemble. There are many pieces and it takes awhile. That is why I wouldn't recommend it. There are many cute tents out there probably alot easier to assemble.
my granddaughter absolutely loves it!

About Me Grandparent
My granddaughter spends alot of time inside it-even eating meals sometimes. The quality is good. Great to spark her imagination!
very happy with the Princess Tent!
from Olney, MD
I bought 2 and expected to have 1 for each grandchild. They were a little bigger than I expected, so I have them in separate rooms. They have held up really well over the last 3 months. The design is adorable. Both kids absolutely love them. I wouldn't think they would stand up well outside; I think they are for indoor use only. Easy enough to set up, I plan to take them down for a change, then let the older one set them back up in the fall.I thought the price was fair for the quality.

Then, Doc was gunned down by Libyan Nationalists, Marty makes an effort to escape from the Lybians by using the time machine. Then Marty accidentally warps himself into 1955.

Its score is 1.0 point lower this year due to declines in labor freedom, business freedom, fiscal freedom, and freedom from corruption. Kiribati is ranked 36th out of 41 countries in the Asia–Pacific region, and its overall score is below the world and regional averages.Poor institutional practices have undermined economic freedom in Kiribati. The public sector continues to dominate economic activity, accounting for two-thirds of employment and over 80 percent of GDP. Budgetary pressure has undermined economic growth, and the economy is dependent on foreign assistance, remittances, and an increasingly important tourism sector. Though public debt remains low, the combination of large budget deficits and the international financial crisis has reduced the value of the country's sovereign wealth fund.Economic dynamism is also hindered by poor public administration. The failure to develop public goods like infrastructure properly has limited economic growth. An inefficient regulatory framework has pushed much of the workforce into the informal economy. Trade and investment flows continue to be limited by high tariffs, reducing benefits from integration into the global economy. Read more about Kiribati Economy. Close Background The Pacific archipelago of Kiribati gained its independence from Britain in 1979 and enjoys democratic government under a national constitution. President Anote Tong was elected to a third and final term in January 2012. Kiribati was once rich in phosphates and highly dependent on mining, but deposits were exhausted in 1979. Today, it depends on a $500 million Revenue Equalization Reserve Fund created with the profits from phosphates earnings, as well as foreign assistance, remittances from overseas, sale of fishing licenses, exports of fish and coconuts, and tourism. Crippling algae in the corals surrounding Kiribati seriously threaten the fishing industry, and preservation of the coral ecosystem, the South Pacific's largest marine reserve, continues to be a priority. Rule of LawView Methodology Property Rights 30.0 Create a Graph using this measurement Freedom From Corruption 31.0 Create a Graph using this measurement The judicial system is ineffective, and the rule of law remains uneven across the country. In the absence of a well-functioning legal framework, contracts are weakly enforced, and courts are relatively inexperienced in commercial litigation. The government lacks the capacity to enforce intellectual property rights laws. Corruption remains widespread, further undermining the foundations of economic freedom. Limited GovernmentView Methodology Government Spending 0.0 Create a Graph using this measurement Fiscal Freedom 71.2 Create a Graph using this measurement The top income and corporate tax rates are 35 percent. Taxation remains erratic and poorly administered. The total tax burden is estimated to be 20.7 percent of total domestic income, while government spending equals 85.9 percent of GDP. The chronic budget deficit has increased substantially to 22 percent of GDP. Large reserves held under Kiribati's sovereign wealth fund have helped to cushion the effects of the global downturn. Regulatory EfficiencyView Methodology Business Freedom 59.2 Create a Graph using this measurement Labor Freedom 78.5 Create a Graph using this measurement Monetary Freedom 78.4 Create a Graph using this measurement The rudimentary regulatory framework lacks the capacity to spur dynamic entrepreneurial growth. The costs of launching a business and completing licensing requirements remain high, further discouraging new investment. A small share of the labor force participates in the formal economy, and the public sector is the major source of employment. Monetary instability is mitigated by use of the Australian dollar as the official currency. Open MarketsView Methodology Trade Freedom 55.4 Create a Graph using this measurement Investment Freedom 25.0 Create a Graph using this measurement Financial Freedom 30.0 Create a Graph using this measurement The trade-weighted average tariff rate is prohibitively high at 17.3 percent, and import and export licensing and limited infrastructure further add to the cost of trade. A modern investment framework is not in place. With a large part of the population remaining outside the formal banking system, constrained access to financing severely impedes entrepreneurial activity and development of the private sector.

Referring to modern Feud with Steve Harvey. After winning a face-off, does anyone ever PASS?

Referring to modern Feud with Steve Harvey. After winning a face-off, does anyone ever PASS?
All I have been seeing is people playing the question outright and not passing. I wonder if they should even ask Play or Pass anymore....
Hardly anybody passed on the Dawson version, and it wasn't available on the Combs version. I'd like to see the steal be more like the Combs version
viacom sucks
This is very much akin to the set of circumstances that caused the show to simply do away with the option during the Combs era... a move many Feud purists cried foul over at the time.
What's that old saying... the music may change, but the song remains the same?
I just saw a family pass on a question just this week.
Passing has never been a good option, because even if you don't think your family will be able to get most of the answers, by Playing, you're only giving the opposing family 1 chance to steal an answer. If their answer is not up on the board, you win the points anyway.
So the only time passing becomes effective, is if, let's say, there are 8 answers on the board, and the other family only gets 1 or 2. Then you've got 6 possible answers to steal from.
But that's a huge risk to take, passing a question with that many answers, because on the flip-side, if the other family gets 6 of the 8, then the chances you'll be able to successfully steal one of the remaining answers is extremely low.
I can think of at least one time a family passed on the Harvey version. The question was something like, "Name something associated with "David Hasselhoff" and Steve was laughing at the girl at the face-off because she, her family, and Steve himself didn't know anything about Hasselhoff and they had to play the question.
I have seen families pass a few times, and Harvey always reacts negatively in some way....one time saying "we'll have a chat during the break" to the passing family.
Down With Cablevision!
passing was only a good option when the 1 strike rule was in place.
viacom sucks
I see a family member pass about once every three episodes, or about two times a week. Passing has sometimes worked out well for some families, especially a question with 6-8 answers.
Earlier this week the 8 am Dawson version showed a family passing two straight rounds--after the second one Dawson said to them "you flew all the way here from Chicago; don't you want to play the game"?
Down With Cablevision!
I'm realizing that you should never pass on a survey, where the survey only has 4 or 5 answers. It has to be more than six, because otherwise with 4 answers, a family could easily sweep the board.
But passing usually doesn't work for the family who decided to pass

Great Leather Jacket
By Shel
from Swansboro, NC
I got this exact jacket for my husband a few years ago. And just this month it saved his life when a guy pulled in front of him on his way to work. He was on his bike and wearing this jacket and his leather chaps he did not get any road rash at all. This is a durable jacket and if you ride a motorcycle at all you would appreciate the warmth and the way it protects.
Love it!
By Erik
from Columbia, SC
I wear this jacket to ride every day. The thickness and feel of the leather makes me feel confident that it would protect my skin if necessary. The zippered vents on front and back make this an extremely versatile jacket, open them up and it's comfortable in the heat, close them up and it's cozy. Add the liner for when it really gets cold. I love it!

Overall, it's a good looking jacket. Good for daily use, very unique style. However, when putting it on, it's bulky on the shoulder area, and so, the excess leather points up like two horns. And this is coming from a bulky guy who works out a lot.

Excellent quality good price
By Bad BAGGER

I use the jacket in cold weather. I don't like wearing a jacket when I ride except when it is cold. This jacket does the job. I have owned alot of motorcycle jackets and I like this one the best. It has a good fit, warmth, and durable.
Best coat ever
By MidnightSpook

I bought mine at a Wilson leather stone in a mall. I use it as my motorcycle riding coat and it is the best coat I've ever owned. It is cool enough on warm days without the liner and warm enough on 30 degree rides.Love my coat!!!

Skin Cancer, Nonmelanoma
Topic Overview
Is this topic for you?
This topic is about nonmelanoma skin cancer, including Reference basal cell cancer Opens New Window and Reference squamous cell cancer Opens New Window. For information about Reference melanoma skin cancer Opens New Window, see the topic Reference Skin Cancer, Melanoma.
What is nonmelanoma skin cancer?
Skin cancer is the abnormal growth of cells in the skin. It is the most common type of cancer. It is almost always cured when it is found early and treated. So it is important to see your doctor if you have changes in your skin.
Most skin cancers are the nonmelanoma type. There are two main types of nonmelanoma skin cancer:
- Reference Basal cell carcinoma Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window. Most nonmelanoma cancers are this type. It can damage deeper tissues, such as muscles and bones. It almost never spreads to other parts of the body.
- Reference Squamous cell carcinoma Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window. This type is less common. It often develops from a small rough spot that grows in sun-damaged skin. It sometimes spreads to other parts of the body.
There are other types of skin cancer that are not melanoma. But these are much less common. They include Merkel cell carcinoma and several kinds of sarcomas.
What causes it?
Nonmelanoma skin cancer is usually caused by too much sun. Using tanning beds or sunlamps too much can also cause it.
How is nonmelanoma skin cancer diagnosed?
Skin cancer usually appears as a growth that changes in color, shape, or size. This can be a sore that does not heal or a change in a mole or skin growth. These changes usually happen in areas that get the most sun—your head, neck, back, chest, or shoulders. The most common place for skin cancer is your nose.
Your doctor will use a Reference biopsy Opens New Window to find out if you have skin cancer. This means taking a sample of the growth and sending it to a lab to see if it contains cancer cells.
What increases your risk for nonmelanoma skin cancer?
The single greatest risk is from Reference ultraviolet (UV) radiation Opens New Window. This comes from exposure to the sun, especially during the middle of the day. It also comes from exposure to artificial sources of UV, such as indoor tanning.
If you have light skin that sunburns easily, you are more likely to get skin cancer.
Your risk is higher if you are male or if you are over 40. Your risk is higher if others in your family have had it or if you have had it before.
You may also be more likely to get it if you have been exposed often to strong Reference X-rays Opens New Window, to certain chemicals (such as arsenic, coal tar, and creosote), or to radioactive substances (such as radium).
How is it treated?
Your doctor will want to remove all of the cancer. There are several ways to do this. The most common way is to numb your skin so that it does not hurt, then cut out the cancer. You will be awake while this is done.
This surgery almost always cures nonmelanoma skin cancer. Other treatments include Reference radiation Opens New Window, medicines that are put on the skin (topical therapies), and Reference photodynamic therapy (PDT) Opens New Window.
After your treatment, you will need regular checkups, because having skin cancer once means you are more likely to get it again.
Can nonmelanoma skin cancer be prevented?
You can prevent it by being careful in the sun. Stay out of the sun at midday, when the sun's rays are strongest. Wear sunscreen or other sun protection. Do not use tanning booths or sunlamps.

Are people becoming crueller? | #1 | ||||||||||
For some reason, people nowadays have become hedonistic and have starting committing atrocities against man's best friend. Their abstruse argument in favour of their heinous acts is that they have full right to do anything to an animal as they own it. To buttress their argument, they use psychological data from dubious sources to prove that humans have a natural want to gain pleasure.
While their argument is far from incomprehensible, is it not insalubrious to have such hate for one's fellow beings? This is not limited only to animals, this cruelty, far from receding and diminishing, has increased substantially. This argument is no longer used just to justify cruelty to animals but also to support cruelty to one's fellow human beings. It is now ubiquitous. So what do you guys think, why are humans getting so evil. How has the decipherer of the genetic code, fallen so low into the abyss of hatred?

Re: Are people becoming crueller? | #2 | ||||||||||
Forgive me for sounding preachy, but in my understanding, the advancement of science and knowledge, and the sheer amount legal freedom people have to do whatever they like to please themselves, of these days may contribute to this so-called crueler humanity.
You see, this "knowledge" a lot of people had learned give them a sense of confidence that they are in control of their lives; and as people understand more and more about the systems of the Universe, their faith in 'unscientific' things such as religion and karma wavers, thus dulling their sense of conscience. These kind of people develop the idea or concept that they can do whatever they like during their relatively short lifetime, and that their deeds (good or bad) doesn't have any effect on them, since they don't believe in the existence of afterlife. It's like, "Hey, we only live once, so let's enjoy them while we can. Why bother being a goody-goody and miss all the fun?" Unfortunately, the law is becoming more and more lenient towards petty acts; and many people can do a lot of bad things they could get away with because what they did was technically "not breaking the law".

Re: Are people becoming crueller? | #3 | ||||||||||
Sometimes,people who were tormented,(believe me,that happens)in their past in a way that affected their behavior.They just want revenge,and the rage in them continues to grow,thus they seek an outlet for it.Therefore, animal cruelty is born.Sometimes,this rage crosses its limits and leads to criminal activities which disgust other sane people.

Re: Are people becoming crueller? | #4 | ||||||||||
Are we talking about animal rights or people being crueler in general?
I'm gonna go with the latter as I don't have enough time to get into animal rights: Are humans cruel/mean still? Yes. Are they worst than the past? You're gonna have to give data that surpasses the Holocaust, Rampant legal 'justified' slavery, etc. in mass cruelty before I can get with the idea that humans are becoming more cruel. Are they getting better? *looks over at gay rights slowly inching forward to acceptability, women getting rights, civil rights movement* Yes. We take a long time to get progress (Heck, I probably won't be alive for some of the stuff I wish to see like full LGBT acceptance) but we're inching there.

I'm not just taking the example of the US. Let's take Pakistan and India, 10 years ago, most people said that a normal war was more acceptable than nuking an entire country. Now the majority thinks, nuking is better

Re: Are people becoming crueller? | #8 | ||||||||||
Well, in practical sense, nuking a country is more efficient than warring with them because you don't need to lose men and army. Of course, if the other country retaliates with another nuke, the damage is going to be much worse; but they can't really give such a response if they've been demolished, can they?
Maybe 10 years ago, those countries you mentioned just don't have enough technology to nuke entire populations, without having them doing the same as payback.

Re: Are people becoming crueller? | #9 | ||||||||||
I know you weren't just talking about the US. And Adept makes a good point about the country needed to have the right technology. If they don't, then of course nukes aren't going to be an option.
Posted on: 2012/6/25 11:01
Re: Are people becoming crueller? | #10 | ||||||||||
Both countries had the right technology 10 years. 10 years ago, whoever nuked once would have won and hatred was high then too. Because at that time, neither had a secondary response system.
But now, both countries have up to 3 (I believe) responses. Meaning they can be annihilated but their nukes will survive and they can destroy the other population

Re: Are people becoming crueller? | #11 | ||||||||||
I don't think so.
As others have pointed out, if anything, things are rather better than in the past. In the past, if you were poor, you starved, had no access to health care, etc., and nobody really cared. In the past, if you couldn't take care of an animal, there was no such things as animal shelters or animal's rights, so the animal was pretty well sentenced to death. Discrimination and outright racism was seen as perfectly normal. Slavery was also considered the norm in the not too distant past. Women around the world were considered inferior to men. You could be thrown in jail and/or tortured and/or sentenced in death in some of the cruelest, most painful ways possible. Of course, some of these things still occur in some parts of the world. However, at least there is awareness and some effort to make these issues better. We have recognized humans have basic rights. We generally acknowledge animal cruelty. We are aware of environmental concerns. Just because there are some idiots who think nuking other countries is justified doesn't mean people have gotten crueler. Look at any sort of conflict. I'm sure, back then, you'd find people who wanted whole countries destroyed - they just didn't have nuclear weapons back then. For example, Hitler wanted to get rid of all the Jews. Propaganda here in North American made people fearful of the Japanese, which probably played a part in the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Then also think of the war crimes committed by the Japanese army in WW2. Also remember the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, where hundreds of thousands of Tutsi and moderate Hutu people were massacred. Read up on your history. You will see plenty of human cruelty towards others. It's not limited to just the last few years.

Re: Are people becoming crueller? | #12 | ||||||||||
Not necessarily so. Unless you have missiles to completely wipe out the enemies before they have chance to fire back at you, complete victory is not guaranteed. Instead, it will trigger a nuclear war that will cause devastating damage to both parties, and is not worth the risk. Other than that, I agree with what Aeternus said. Present day people only seem crueler because they have more technology and means to perform their acts of cruelty.
Posted on: 2012/6/27 12:17
Re: Are people becoming crueller? | #13 | ||||||||||
I don't see how having nukes means people are getting more cruel.
Technology has always been a double edge sword. On one hand, it can be incredibly deadly, like the the nuke on hiroshima. On the other hand, it can be benevolent like creating artificial limbs for people. Just because we have high tech doesn't mean people are linearly getting crueler. Also, I do not think any country with nukes will actually use their nukes as they will doom their own nation too. It's more of a deterrent rather than an actual 'rawr, I bomb you now!'

Re: Are people becoming crueller? | #14 | ||||||||||
Exactly, which is why I wrote that "present day people only seem crueler because they have more technology and means to perform their acts of cruelty". Let's say a terrorist committed a suicide bomb 50 years ago, and it managed to kill 20 people; in present day, another terrorist did the same thing, in the same situation, but with a more advanced bomb- killing 150. Now killing 150 seems worse than killing 20, but it's not so much because of the current-day terrorist is crueler, it's just that they have more advanced technology as means to conduct their so-called cruelty.

Re: Are people becoming crueller? | #15 | ||||||||||
To clarify what would mean cruel for my points:
cruel - an attitude that is aggressive, malevolent, manifests through wish to see others suffer, or simply the wish of causing pain to any living creature; To my mind, people are becoming crueler due to a set of reasons: Media influence, children are exposed to violent acts from earlier ages which tend to develop into aggressivity problems, all because due to violent shows, or violent games which their parents allow them to play, or simply are exposed daily to violent scenes and start believing that that's the good way to go. And of course, this leads to people at maturity being cruel, because they do not care if the other person is hurt. Secondly, because the amount of hatred between individuals is growing. People started to become easily angered by small events, even if they are not frequently, and because of the stress, they tend to take revenge, and are pretty cruel by their methods, and wish to see pain if a person upsets them. The lack of education also constitutes a reason why the people are crueler. They are not educated at home or in schools of good manners and a socially positive attitude, and tend to act however they like, regardless if it is wrong or right. The last but not least, the simple fact that people are indifferent about everything constitutes a factor. They do not care whether the others suffer or not, all they care about is themselves, and would not stop in their way to obtain whatever they want, despite hurting others in the process. There is a long list to be made, but those tend to be the most important. At least from my point of view. -------------------------------------------------- On a side note, Theone, please, make your posts clear and easy to understand, and avoid using sophisticated vocabulary as not everyone on the forum is English literate enough to understand all of the words. I am not speaking about myself, but there may as well be people which experience problems in comprehending your post.

Re: Are people becoming crueller? | #16 | ||||||||||
I don't thinkn people have become crueller. I also don't think people today are less cruel than they were 100 or a 1000 years ago.
We are pretty cruel creatures throughout our history, until this day annd including. It's usually young people who think things are different now than they were in the past, but it's not true. We didn't change that much.

Re: Are people becoming crueller? | #17 | ||||||||||
To my mind, people are becoming crueler due to a set of reasons: People in the past were exposed to violence, too. There is violence in the home (which is still an on-going problem), people attended public executions, war was right on their doorsteps...And playing violent video games does not necessarily make you a cruel person. I vividly remember getting my brother to show me how to do fatalities in Mortal Kombat, and I grew up to become a nurse and I'd like to think I care a lot for others. Quote: Secondly, because the amount of hatred between individuals is growing. People started to become easily angered by small events, even if they are not frequently, and because of the stress, they tend to take revenge, and are pretty cruel by their methods, and wish to see pain if a person upsets them. How does one measure the amount of hatred? And how does one measure if it's growing? Hatred has always been in the world, as has anger stemming from stress, revenge, etc. Quote: The lack of education also constitutes a reason why the people are crueler. They are not educated at home or in schools of good manners and a socially positive attitude, and tend to act however they like, regardless if it is wrong or right. I think the world is more educated in general than in the past. Public education (as well as mandatory education) is now available in many places. In developed countries, millions of people go on to tertiary education institutions (i.e. college or university). Also, being educated has nothing to do with cruelty. Some of the cruelest people are well educated. Quote: The last but not least, the simple fact that people are indifferent about everything constitutes a factor. So, why do we have social services? Charities? Volunteers for nearly every cause out there?

3. | Gorillaz | ||
Forget 50 Cent and Nelly and such: Gorillaz make REAL hip hop music. They're animation and style only adds to their awesomeness. ^^ Gorillaz' music rules.
1. | Gorillaz | ||
An animated band. A side project of blur frontman Damon Albarn, they span all genres from punk to electronica to reggae. Their first self-titled album surprisingly went platinum. They had 3 popular singles from their first album: Tomorrow Comes Today, Clint Eastwood, and 19-2000. They then released an EP of b-sides and remixes from their first album. On January 7th of 2002 they released a new album of remixes. The album was unpopular, and for 1 year the gorillaz seemingly disappeared. On February 25th of 2003 they broke their silence by posting on their message board. After this they did not appear often, only sometimes giving interviews about their upcoming album. On May 24th 2005 their second album, Demon Days, was released. It reached number 1 on the UK charts and number 6 on the US charts, and its first single, Feel Good Inc. (featuring the rap group De La Soul) became a hit. New singles from Demon Days are to be released throughout 2005. The box "example" is not explained fully enough to have any purpose.
2. | Gorillaz | ||
The greatest band ever drawn. Their music kicks ass, and the animation is my inspiration. Gorillaz is a four-piece band made up of 2D, Murdoc, Noodle and Russel. Occassionally, ghost-rappers appear from Russels head, such as Del Tha Funky Homosapien and Phi Life Cypher
4. | gorillaz | ||
The only good hip-hop band. They also sing rock along with other types of music so they're good in my book. Gorillaz is a good band.
5. | Gorillaz | ||
Gorillaz are a 4 piece animated band taking over the word one track at a time 2-D,2-D is the lead singer of Gorillaz
6. | Gorillaz | ||
Gorillaz is a SUPERGROUP, not just another random band. That means it is made up of distinguished artists and musicians that all have great careers and excellent reputations. The group is made up of artists from very different backgounds. Russell is Oakland rapper Del Tha Funkee homosapien who really is a tad geeky, but kicks major ass as an emcee. 2-D and Murdoc are both members of Blur. Last but not least Noodles is played by the lead singer of Cibbo Matto. The first album was produced by Dan the Automator who also produced Deltron 3030. Listen to "Time Keeps On Slipping" by deltron, you might notice a very similar style to the Gorillaz, right down to Damon Alabrns crooning and harmonica.
Lately the Gorillaz have made a combeack with the single "Feel Good Inc.". Their new album will be produced by Danger Mouse (of grey album fame) and rumor has it that del isn't on it, seeing how De La Soul has been doing the rapping on Feel Good Inc. The animation is a gimmick, but the music is great no matter what. Groundbreaking stuff.
7. | Gorillaz | ||
Gorillaz is an animated band, consisting of four animated character. These characters - despite what others may claim - do not represent any real people.
There's lead singer 2D, who also does keyboard; Russel Hobbs, who plays drums/percussion; Murdoc Niccals, the Satanist who plays Bass, and Noodle who mainly plays guitar, but can often be found doing some singing (voice changes between first album and second album). Gorillaz have so far released 2 albums, one self-titled album, and the most popular one named 'Demon Days'. They have also released one B-sides album named 'G-sides', and one remix album named 'Laika Come Home' (remixed by Spacemonkeyz). The two founders of Gorillaz are Blur frontman Damon Albarn, and comic book artist and designer, Jamie Hewlett (best known for creating Tank Girl). Damon does the voice of character 2D. Again, 2D doesn't really represent Damon, but it has been said that he is similar in ways or a younger, more naive version of him. The first self-titled album was produced by Dan the Automator, and Del tha Funkee Homosapien appeared in two singles, 'Rock the House' and the more well-known 'Clint Eastwood'. The cartoon for Del is the only cartoon in Gorillaz that actually represents a real person, but on the other hand, Del is not a permanent character as he only stayed for... |

Man Steals Jeep, Flips It After Driving 1 Block
By: Victor Sotelo
Updated: April 19, 2012
A man took a Jeep from the Williams Auto Group on South First during the lunch hour.
One of the workers jumped in another car to chase him, but when the suspect tried to turn onto Leggett from South First, the car flipped.
Witnesses said the suspect tried to run but they convinced him to stay at the scene and wait for police.

I have been a great admirer of Jennifer, who inspires me every time she creates, she is a truly wonderful, kind hearted and generous person, one in which I am grateful is a part of my life.
I hope that we inspire others out there this week to create and have fun!
The first card I will be sharing with you today shows one of the techniques that Jennifer uses in some of her creations, which is emboss resist.
I took the stamp Flowing Flowers and Leaves from Hero Arts and stamped it onto several pieces of white card stock using Versamark Ink, I then embossed with clear embossing powder. Once this was embossed I took Ranger, Distress Ink, Barn Door, Wild Honey, Tumbled Glass and Shabby Shutters and covered each piece of the white embossed card stock heavily with each of the inks. I took a 1 inch Fiskars circle punch and punched several circles out of each colour. Next, taking more white card stock, I cut it to size, folded in half to form a card and using the Score Pal I scored 3 lines down one side of the card. I adhered each of the punched out circles down the other side of the card using some foam dimensionals and with some left over white card stock I cut a tag and stamped a sentiment from the Hero Arts, Leaf Prints stamp set and adhered this to the card using more foam dimensionals. Lastly, I added some rhinestones either side of the sentiment to finish the card.
A card that is quite simple to make and even though a lot of white, the punch of colour makes the card quite eye catching, so don't be afraid to use white, there is so much that you can do with it.
Okay, so make sure that you all go on over to Jennifer's Blog and check out what she has created with this wonderful stamp.
I look forward to the week ahead with Jennifer and with you my fellow bloggers and stampers.
Hugs to you all!

- split peas
- wooden frame
- glue or Mod Podge
- printable and scissors
STEP 1: Spread glue/Mod Podge on the wooden frame and place peas on top. Let it dry completely!
Here it is, just waiting to dry. Our particular frame came with the jute hanger attached already and a 2" x 3" opening. You could, of course, use any size frame.
STEP 2: Print and cut your printable. This one is sized at 2 x 3" proportions. If you would like to use it, feel free; just right click and save the image to your computer...my St. Patty's gift to you!
STEP 3: Insert printable into frame and display!
I think the green is such a great color, and I love the natural look of the peas. Plus, when St. Patrick's Day is over, I can pull out the printable and exchange it for a spring themed one or a pic of Little Crafter.

Not sure which caster I'm gonna stick with yet. I have pDenny, pGaspy, Venethrax, and pSkarre at the moment. Should I get bane knights as well or would their role be redundant with bane thralls. Would it be better to mix it up with mechanithralls or something else? Thanks in advance.

Old City (Pink City), Jaipur
The Old City of Jaipur is partially surrounded by walls and contains the most popular attractions and best bazaars in the city. There are three major gates - Chandpol, Ajmer and Sanganeri that have been restored. The Old City is also noted for the layout of nine grid blocks that are based on the nine cosmis divisions of the universe.The main bazaars in the Old City include Johari, Tripoli, Bapu and Chandpol. A landmark is the Iswari Minar Swarga Sal with a minaret that was erected by Jai Singh's son, Iswari.

City Palace
The City Palace is a massive complex of courtyards, gardens and buildings. The palace is a blend of Mughal and Rajasthani architecture, the outer wall was built by Jai Singh but many of the additions are much more recent - some from the early 20th C.Within the Mubarak Mahal or Welcome Palace is a Textile and Costume Gallery with textile, clothes and musical instruments on display. The palace was a reception center for visiting dignitaries.The Sileh Khana is located behind Mubarak Mahal. This is the armory with a collection of ceremonial weapons such as diamond and gold pistols, two-bladed daggers, helmets and steel mace. The welcome sign is spelled out with daggers and the goodbye sign in pistols.Rajendra Pol is one of the entrances, it is flanked by marble elephants that were carved from a single block of marble and leads visitors to the Diwan-i-Khan (Hall of Private Audiences). Exhibits feature illustrated manuscripts, miniature copies of Hindu scriptures and two urns that are listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest silver items in the world. They were created to carry sacred water from the Ganges River when Madho Singh II traveled to London in 1902.Pritam Nawas Chowk (Court of the Bbeloved), also known as the Peacock Courtyard, has four stunningly beautiful painted doorways that represent the four seasons and a bas-relief of the peacock gate.The former royal family still lives in part of the palace, the Chandra Mahal.
Central Museum
The Central Museum features an eclectic collection of items such as tribal ware, decorative art, costumes, musical instruments, miniature portraits, sculptures, paintings, natural history specimens and miniature terracotta figures.Albert Hall was modeled after the Victoria and Albert Museum in London in the Indo-Saracenic style of architecture. The building was constructed during the reign of Maharaja Ram Singh and was intended to be the town hall but his successor Madho Singh converted the building to an art museum.The Central Museum is located in the Ramnivas Gardens.
Palace of the Winds
The Hawa Mahal, or Palace of the Winds as it is also called, was built in 1799. It is five stories tall but only the depth of one room, it was used by the ladies of the palace to watch the outside world without being seen.There are 953 lattice-screened windows and a constant breeze blows through the building, which is where the name, Palace of the Winds was derived from.The main attraction of the Hawa Mahal is the facade, which is pink sandstone with a honeycomb affect pattern.

MARCY, N.Y. -- No one was injured when a tractor trailer fell on its side, trying to exit Route 49 east Tuesday. Crews on the scene said the truck was traveling from the Family Dollar Distribution Center in Rome to Syracuse. The driver lost control on a curve of the Cavanaugh Road exit ramp in Marcy. That ramp was expected to be closed until clean-up was complete. DOT officials say it could re-open around 5 p.m. There is no word on whether the driver will be ticketed.

Didier Drogba, Christopher Katongo and Asamoah Gyan will star at the 2013 CAN. (Getty Images) It feels like only yesterday that Zambia stormed to their first ever Africa Cup of Nations title. The Chipolopolo beat the likes of Senegal, Ghana and Ivory Coast to become the 14th African nation to win the tournament. No wonder I can remember the competition so well. For the first time, it is being held in consecutive years. Organizers decided to change the calendar so the tournament would not clash with the FIFA World Cup due to take place in Brazil next year. So as Africa's top players prepare to take to the field for the 29th edition of the competition, what or who should we look out for? Below is a look at some of the stories I will be following: Last Chance Saloon for the Ivory Coast The likes of Yaya Toure and Didier Drogba will once again lead the way, but it is at the back where the Ivorians could struggle with the likes of Kolo Toure and Siaka Tiene past their prime. Will the drought end for Ghana? Asamoah Gyan (who has returned from international exile) and Kwadwo Asamoah have to live up to their reputations and take the lead. Watch out for talented youngster Christian Atsu who can surprise a lot of people with his pace and skill. The winger has put in some eye-catching performances at FC Porto. Can Zambia perform an encore? Once again, captain Christopher Katongo will have to lead by example. He was by far the most influential player in their trophy-winning side. Who can be the next African superstar? In the Ethiopia squad, all but three of the players ply their trade in the domestic league. So I am sure scouts from all over the world will be in South Africa over the next month looking for the next Didier Drogba or Samuel Eto'o. Posted by: CNN World Sport Anchor, Pedro Pinto

Petraeus VP talk bubbles to surface
Gen. David Petraeus speaks at St. Anselm College in Goffstown last year. (David Lane/UNION LEADER file)
Report says Ayotte among 'serious contenders' for Romney's running mate
According to a report that surfaced Tuesday on Drudge Report, Romney "secretly met" with Petraeus in New Hampshire, where they have homes in Wolfeboro and Springfield, respectively. In that report, Obama "whispered to a top fundraiser" that Romney wants to select Petraeus for the vice president spot.
Romney's campaign would not discuss the report.
"Our campaign does not discuss the vice-presidential selection process," Romney spokesman Ryan Williams told the New Hampshire Union Leader in an email.
Romney also ignored a question about Petraeus asked by a reporter during a campaign event Tuesday.
The White House and CIA flatly denied the report.
"I can say with absolute confidence that such an assertion has never been uttered by the President," White House spokesman Jay Carney said in a press conference reported by Yahoo News. "And, again, be mindful of your sources."
"Director Petraeus feels very privileged to be able to continue to serve our country in his current position and, as he has stated clearly numerous times before, he will not seek elected office," CIA spokesman Preston Golson said Tuesday, according to Politico.
According his official biography at the CIA, Petraeus became the agency's director Sept. 6 after a 37-year U.S. Army in which he rose to the rank of four-star general and served as the commander of the war in Afghanistan and as the architect of the 2007 troop surge in the Iraq war.
Petraeus is the latest name with New Hampshire connections being mentioned as a potential vice president for Romney. In November, Romney said in a Fox News interview that U.S. Sen. Kelly A. Ayotte, R-N.H., was one of "15 names of people" a Republican presidential nominee could name as a running mate.
Ayotte, who has campaigned for Romney since endorsing him in November, told a Union Leader reporter in April that her selection as the running mate is "not going to happen." However, she continues to be mentioned as being on a short list of possible candidates.

11-May-2013 | Excellent | First rate as ever, | |
06-May-2013 | Good | The pyjamas are fine per se, but my father had expected the drawstring to go all the way round the waistband, rather from the seams and was disappointed by this. He has had to cut it to avoid discomfort of tightness. It was not clear from the description that this would be the case, but admittedly I could have sent them back if he had told me before wearing them. | |
