Quote of the Day, by Silver Bullet Concerning Randal Rauser (and it applies to many Christian Scholars)
Randal believes that the Christian god would have his bible written by people so that it is indistinguishable from any other book that people have written - full of contradictions, depicting the flawed human knowledge of the time, unclear, employing the same technics that people use when they write, like irony, etc.
In fact, Randal believes that the Christian god didn't even interfere in any way with the actual writing and compilation of the Christian bible - that was all done by people and people alone. Randal has written that he believes that the Christian god, when he created the universe, did so with the full foreknowledge that people would evolve billions of years later to independently write exactly the book that the Christian god would want them to write, full of human flaws and appearing as an all too human creation, as his bible.
Accordingly, no evidential case could possibly be made that the Christian bible is not divinely "inspired". Randal's beliefs are insulated from evidential considerations such as Loftus' and Babinski's. Of course, this also makes them absurd.
Randal merely defends the position that his belief in the divine inspiration of the Christian bible is 'properly basic'. That is, IF the Christian god DID inspire the Christian bible, then Randal's belief that this is the case may be rational. Of course, this is a tight and perfect circle that begs the questions of whether the Christian god (a) exists and (b) did do this.
So it should be no surprise that TCD has no "evidential force" upon someone who holds extraordinary beliefs without requiring evidence, beliefs that no evidence could possibly address.
What should be surprising is that Randal has the gaul to criticize the authors of TCD for what they have written. Link

Hi Guys
I am going to buy either a 6'8" Alternator or 6'9" Hellrazor
Already own 6'6" Alternator, 6'6" Hellfire and 6'10" flexfire. I surf the Hellfire mostly these days but there are a couple of local waves that I surf occasionally where I catch the shoulder or nose of the board and would like some thing with a little more rocker, 40 litre volume seems to be the sweet spot for me at the moment paddling wise.
Unfortunately these days I have to sacrifice length for wave count, fortunately I get to surf Western Australian waves so extra length is not really a big problem as I age.
Having had Firewires for awhile I am confident both boards will go well just want to split the hairs.
My questions are when comparing the two boards which has more rocker in the tail and nose.
If the Hellrazor comes from the Hellfire will the Razor have less tail rocker and a slightly flatter bottom overall than the Alternator.
Would the Hellrazor paddle a little easier than the Alternator.
Or is it the other way round.
Thanks for your help.


text: The Show Catwalk Fashion Shows Spring/Summer 2012 Ready-To-Wear Jonathan Saunders - Pre 01 July 2011 Dolly Jones "THERE is still the element of romance and femininity which is the real focus for this summer," says Jonathan Saunders, describing his latest pre-collection. "I guess it's a move against the stricter silhouette of the winter – it's about a more fluid silhouette, more womanly." "Pre isn't so much about giving a clue to what will happen in the main show these days – it has its own stronger identity. It's really about addressing a woman's wardrobe and giving her all the different silhouettes she might want. In a way it's more honest than a catwalk collection – it's really about selling clothes."So if he burst on to the London Fashion scene nine years ago and made a name for himself as a luxe sportswear designer, can he still claim the same label?"I think so," he says. "It's still really about the sporty, streamline silhouette that I first started with. And when I'm casting for shows I always look out for a really athletic body, with really strong shoulders."So who has the best shoulders in the business? "Sara B, definitely. Or Raquel Zimmermann – she's the best."SEE THE JONATHAN SAUNDERS SHOW ARCHIVE

Between Lucy Jones's "Is Bruce Springsteen 'just for boys'?" in the Telegraph and Rebecca Bohanan's "The Only Three Women in Bruce Springsteen's Music" for Jezebel, this past week has been a rough one for Bruce Springsteen in terms of female and feminist critique. While the authors each raise valid points, both articles are fraught with fallacy, and we felt the need — as women, feminists, and Springsteen fans — to dispute their claims and to provide our own input as to just why it is that Bruce Springsteen's music appeals to us.
One thing that we can stand behind is this: Bruce Springsteen does not exclude the female experience in his music, nor does he objectify or degrade women. Some may find fault in that statement, as Rebecca Bohanan does in her piece from Jezebel. It is undeniable that gender archetypes exist in Springsteen's work, but it is also important to note that the way Springsteen discusses gender has evolved as he has matured.
Bohanan provides a very cursory glance at Springsteen's pre-Born In The U.S.A. work, and then completely disregards everything he has done since, save for one reference to Wrecking Ball. Therefore, Bohanan is missing a large part of Springsteen's development as a songwriter — had she delved further into Springsteen's more recent music, particularly his work of the past decade, perhaps she would have realized that there are more than "only three women in Bruce Springsteen's music." Albums like The Rising, Magic and Working On A Dream are full of examples of equitable, respectful adult relationships, yet Bohanan does not so much as mention any of these.
One of the major faults of Jones's article is that she assumes essentialism — that is, she repeatedly insists that men and women have naturally generally divulging preferences and interests. Jones polled other women and acknowledged their input, yet still dismissed it as it did not seem to conform with her own experience.
The problem here is not that Springsteen does not strike her fancy, but rather the fact that she tries to blame this on her gender. Frankly, we do not see how she has managed to arrive at this conclusion. There is nothing in our hormones that dictates our taste and preferences; hence, citing Springsteen's music as being "testosterone-fuelled" as a reason for not liking it is rather weak. It seems that she is implying that women inherently can't rock as well as men can. Surely female rock icons like Grace Slick, Joan Jett and Debbie Harry — and even the women in Springsteen's own band! — would take issue with this.
Not seeing the poetry
As for Bohanan's article, there is a serious problem with the fact that she does not analyze Springsteen's writing as what it truly is: poetry. Poetry is imperfect and not always sensitive, and the speaker of poetry is not always the writer. Furthermore, poetry, especially Springsteen's form of it, depicts the world, and he is more often than not accurate in his depictions of how the world treats women.
Bohanan specifically references the following line from "Easy Money": "Put on your red dress for me, tonight, honey." This lyric may seem problematic — he's telling the woman how to dress, and to do it for him! — and perhaps it is, but it's essential to remember that Springsteen is the writer, not the speaker. Springsteen's narrators speak from realism; they speak of reality and unfortunately, there are realities involving depictions of gender roles and treatment of women that feminist listeners may not find satisfying.
But Springsteen usually does an excellent job of weaving and acknowledging the intricacies of female reality, too, in a way that can only be construed as sensitive to women, while not necessarily being empowering or idealistic, as his speakers often exist in a world that simply is not either of those things.
Springsteen doesn't frequently dive into the female psyche, although on the occasions that he does, his success is varied. There's a reason why "Car Wash" remained unreleased until Tracks; on the other hand, the first verse of "Paradise" is easily one of the most fascinating and chilling narratives of his career (and this would be true no matter what the gender of the narrator was).
Even in songs where Springsteen is not writing specifically from the perspective of a woman, he does not seem completely oblivious to his female characters' worldview. "The River" comes from a male perspective, but we know how Mary feels, too — or at least, how the narrator perceives Mary to feel: "Now I just act like I don't remember / Mary acts like she don't care."
With the exception of the aforementioned examples, though, for the most part, the perspective in Springsteen's songs is male. It is a feminist idea to realize that, as a man, he cannot possibly fully express the female experience from a female viewpoint. To fault him for not attempting to do so more often, as both Jones and Bohanan do, is unfair and illogical.
Our two featured critics also don't desire to consider the fact that Springsteen has speakers situated all over the spectrum of how people treat women. Some of his speakers know life isn't easy for the women in the songs: "She stares off alone into the night / with the eyes of one who hates for just being born," and others recognize the patriarchal society women exist in: "Into a row of houses she just melts away / like the scenery in another man's play."
There are those speakers, too, who see the women in their world as brainless pretty girls: "You know she wears that dress without a care in the world." And in some the men know just what the woman wants for herself: "She has men who will bring her anything she wants / but they don't see / that what she wants is me." There are those speakers who are pretty blatant about treating women as sex objects, too (see "Pink Cadillac" and "Red Headed Woman," though the latter gets points for its unabashed endorsement of … well, you know what the song's about). But still, in Springsteen's most extreme cases of objectification, this is not "Brown Sugar" or even "Be Bop A Lula."
What sets him apart
Springsteen's speakers still have some sense of reverence or mystery when it comes to women, and while some may see that as distancing or separatist or problematic, it is a difference that sets him apart from the rest of his contemporaries, in terms of a male's treatment of women in rock and roll. Not all of the women in his songs are romantic interests, and not all of them exist to serve men, and that really can't be said about a lot of rock and roll music.
And — talk about being set apart from contemporaries — it is important to note that Springsteen is still making music in the era of Big Sean's "Dance (Ass)" and Tyga's "Rack City," and if any anger towards depiction of women is to be had in terms of popular music, it is probably better served to focus it there instead of on carefully nuanced rock and roll poetry from an established, sensitive artist.
However, in the end, this is what it comes down to — Springsteen's music is not about men and women, it is about people as a whole. Universal themes and transcendent emotions are not just buzzwords that are thrown around; in Springsteen's music, they are real. And that does not need to be gendered.
Springsteen provides characters with struggles that real people can relate to and project their own experiences on. This is not necessary to explain to fans, who know how it feels when their souls surge and ache at the piano opening of "Backstreets" or the saxophone solo in "Jungleland." Again, those things are not gendered. Springsteen's biggest concerns: the reality of the American Dream, how to carry sins, making a meaningful life as an everyday person in a dark world — these are all things that each listener has a specific interpretation of, their gender included on a purely personal level.
The American Dream Springsteen presents is much more multi-faceted than just "a man providing for his family," as over simplified by Bohanan. It wrestles with more ideas of purpose, and being, and making a life on American soil beyond providing for a family, for men and women alike. Springsteen presents faceless, genderless universal struggles through the vehicle of his various characters and speakers.
This sounds basic, but most fans know firsthand of its genius. It's a shame that Bohanan (a proclaimed fan) and Jones (a proclaimed non-fan) don't seem to appreciate this, but as the man himself says, "ain't no one can fake it, you just know it when you feel it." Maybe one day their perspectives on the role women play in and what women can appreciate about Springsteen's music will change. For now, Springsteen's solid female fan base is more than enough proof that he's doing something right, and we hope he continues to do it for years to come.

We have tested 33 commonly used Promega restriction endonucleases (REs) for their ability to digest DNA directly in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification buffers. In total, 29 (88%) of the REs showed complete digestion of the target DNA after overnight incubation in PCR buffer without the requirement for the addition of any other component. The remaining 4 (12%) REs required additional magnesium or the addition of restriction endonuclease digestion buffer to function adequately. The composition of the PCR buffers tested did not affect the results. The REs also functioned equally well in an RT-PCR Buffer. The results show that digestion of PCR and RT-PCR products may often be performed directly in the PCR tube without the requirement for any precipitation or purification steps. However, we do not recommend the use of this procedure for cloning applications.

Easton EA70 Stem
- Item: EAS0137 Actual Weight:"Actual Weight" means we weighed this item ourselves. 153 g
- $69.95
Easton's EA70 stem is crafted from forged and shot-peened aluminum for superior strength. By aligning the grain structure of the metal, their engineers can design it to use less material, hence the feathery 145 gram weight total. Sure, it's light, but not at a sacrifice to performance.
The EA70 uses a four-bolt clamp with their latest great idea, Top-Lock, which is essentially a tongue and groove interface that virtually eliminates bending forces on the top two bolts, improving durability and strength without adding weight. In use, the top two bolts are torqued first in order to draw the Top-Lock connection tight. Then the lower two bolts are torqued to spec, ensuring a snug, distortion free junction with the handlebar. The stem body and faceplate also feature what appear to be stubby wings on either side of the clamp section. These wings, along with the narrowed bolt centers, work together to distribute stresses along a greater section of the handlebar. Easton works hard in their testing lab to make sure that the EA70 will be not only compatible, but safe to use with your lightweight handlebars.
The Easton EA70 Stem has a 31.8mm clamp diameter and is designed for 1-1/8" steerers only. It has a ±6° and ±20° rise and is available these lengths --90, 100, 110, 120, and 130mm. 145 grams.

Recently I worked as (intermittent) Wardrobe Assistant on the film Child of God which was filmed in Lewisburg, West Virginia (Budget Travel's 'Coolest Small Town in America 2011') by Rabbit Bandini Productions.
I drove six hours to West Virginia to help with two separate crowd scenes – one an auction, and one a scene at a fair. You may think I'm crazy to drive so far for only a few days, but when I got the request from costume designer Malgosia Turzanska (with whom I'd worked on "Edge of the Woods"), I jumped at the chance. This would be an incredible opportunity for me – to work on a feature-length film by a well-known production company (Rabbit Bandini is comprised of director/producer duo James Franco and Vince Jolivette) for any length of time would be a giant leap in the right direction.
When I arrived, I was nervous – what would these people think of me? But after my first day on set, I got used to everything and had no trouble settling in. The crew members were extremely nice and it didn't take long for me to get over working around a celebrity.
The first day went smoothly, and in no time at all day 2 had arrived along with about 35 extras for the opening auction scene. Jen Lou, our PA Laura, and I ran around like madwomen, fitting extras in costumes, dealing with the one or two divas whose costumes "just weren't right." One man who claimed he was "always cast as the lead" (presumably why he was cast as a background actor) showed up on set wearing pants that were clearly 4 sizes too small. I handed him a size 34, and he said, "There is no way these will fit me. I am a size 30." When he finally put them on, they were too small. I have news for you buddy, the pant size you wore when you were 19 is not going to be the same size you wear at 41.
Once we had the actors dressed and approved by the director, the rest of the day passed uneventfully. It started to drizzle around midday, and by the time we started breaking down camp, it was raining off and on pretty steadily. Set was moved to the middle of the woods a few minutes down the long dirt driveway, and Jen Lou went with the crew to help the actors with their changes. I stayed behind to pack the van in order to make the transition to our next location smoother.
The van was parked in a tight space between two other large vehicles, and with the doors swung wide, it was impossible to see anyone coming or going. After packing a few more bins stuffed with men's boots, jean overalls, and undergarments, I lugged them to the van, umbrella perched precariously under my chin.
After organizing the bins, I turned, umbrella out in front of me, and leaped from the van (because that's what I do…leap from vans). Straight into a yellow poncho-clad person coming around the corner. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!" I said, without looking up. When I composed myself and met the eyes of the person I'd nearly impaled with my umbrella, I completely lost my ability to speak. It was James Franco. He gave me a startled half smile, but in my head there was a little King Arthur yelling "Run Away, Run Awaaayyy", and it didn't take long for me to heed the warning. I quit the scene faster than the Knights of the Round Table ran from the Rabbit of Caerbannog.
Later, I relayed my story to another crew member. "Well, hey," she said, "at least it's a good story." I laughed, "I suppose so. Next time I hear someone say, 'this one time I saw such-and-such celebrity', I'll say, 'well this one time I almost poked out James Franco's eye with an umbrella'…"
Somehow, I made it through the rest of the weekend and the following one, without much event. In the fair scene, a lot of the crew was put in the film as extras. At lunch before our night shoot, Malgosia, Jen Lou, Julie (line producer) and I ate at The Wild Bean (try the loaded bean burger. It is delish!). Jen Lou and Malgosia discussed a costume they were particularly excited about. It was a cheerleading mini-dress from a local high school from the 50′s or 60′s, and they wanted to use it as a majorette outfit in the fair scene.
"It's going to be hard to find someone for that costume," Malgosia said. "Yeah, we'll need to find someone small," Jen Lou added. They were silent for a second, then their glances met as both reached the same conclusion at once. The two of them looked at me, then looked back at each other, "So Hayley…"
Later that evening, I was wearing a majorette mini-dress, Malgosia a fortune teller's costume, and Jen Lou the colorful garb of a clown's assistant. How could I not love my job?

December 1993 was an interesting month with a variety of weather with severe gales, snow, exceptional mildness and very wet.
The month began with the Atlantic overcoming the Scandinavian block which brought cold weather to the UK during late November
On the 8th, a vigorous and deep low moved through central Scotland. The central pressure of the system was 962mb and along its southern flank there were severe gales across Ireland, England and Wales with gusts reaching over 90mph, Redruth recorded a gust of 97mph, Cardiff 86mph, Plymouth 75mph, London and Nottingham 65mph. Not surprisingly, there was structural damage to buildings and trees uprooted
On the 12th, a deep depression brought rain across most parts but as it engaged colder air that had filtered down from the north, there was snow especially over the hills.
The weather became exceptionally mild around the 19th as tropical maritime air flooded NE wards behind a warm front with Hemsby recording a daily maximum record for the 19th with 15.5C
The week before Christmas 1993 turned notably wintry. On the 21st, a low pressure tracked through England and gave snowfalls across North Wales, northern England and north Midlands as deep as 14cm across parts of Clwyd.
A cold NNW airflow pulled down across the UK in the run up to Christmas and an Atlantic system moved down western parts giving the first white Christmas to some parts for a number of years as snow fell in places. Any snow cover was restricted to high ground generally
On the 28th, an Atlantic system displaced the cold air over the UK and this gave snowfalls to many central and eastern areas.
The weather was unsettled in the run up to the New Year but some snow did fall at times in places especially on New Year's Eve
December 1993
It was a colder month in Scotland, the coldest December since 1981
The mildest CET maximum day: 13.6 (18th)
The coldest CET maximum day: 2.5 (26th)
The coldest CET minimum night: -28 (27th)
It was the 9th wettest December on record for England and Wales with 172.1mm.
224.0mm for Scotland, 197.9mm for Northern Ireland
The 12th was a particularly wet day with a number of stations reporting it as their wettest day of the month
For a wet month, snow and sleet occurred fairly frequently especially in the north, probably the most since any winter month since February 1991 for a number of places
Number of days with falling sleet/snow
Stornoway: 14
Aviemore: 20
Abbotsinch: 15
Manchester: 12
Watnall: 12
Elmdon: 9
Heathrow: 3
Belfast: 10
Cardiff: 5

Stepping away from the intricacies and attacks that have dominated the 2012 campaign season, the candidates spoke in interviews aired Sunday in more broad terms of leadership qualities, past presidents' legacies and how they unwind amid the whirlwind race for the White House.
President Barack Obama told CBS News that he is a night owl. While his wife and two daughters retire earlier for the evening, the president stays awake, perched on the Truman balcony to read, write and reflect into the early hours of the morning, he said.
As for Republican nominee Mitt Romney, he said he prays every night before bed around 10 p.m., after speaking with his wife Ann, who's often elsewhere on the trail, for about 15 to 20 minutes.
Romney, who until recently has steered away from discussing his faith on the campaign trail, said his prayers are a private matter but he mostly prays for wisdom and understanding.
"I seek to understand things that I don't understand," said Romney in an interview that aired Sunday on CBS' "60 Minutes."
The two candidates were asked to describe the essential qualities of a leader as well as admirable qualities of past presidents.
Obama said leadership "more than anything is about setting a course and describing a vision for people." He added that vision "isn't always realized immediately," pointing to the legacy bore from Abraham Lincoln's vision of a single union requiring the sacrifice of the bloody Civil War.
Romney noted John Adams as a person with "extraordinary character" and "a relationship with his spouse who may have been even brighter than he."
"We saw in him an individual who was less concerned about public opinion than he was about doing what he thought was right for the country," said Romney. "And even though he was defeated in his run for reelection, he did what he thought was right for America. And I respect that kind of character."
Romney said an essential quality of a leader is the "capacity to build trust in the people he or she works with."

It may feel small, but with nearly 41,700 residents (and more than 25,000 Tech students), Blacksburg is Virginia's largest town.
The town lies in Montgomery County, which has a population of around 94,000 and includes some 19,000 acres of the Jefferson National Forest.
Montgomery County is the heart of the New River Valley, which is bordered by the Blue Ridge Parkway to the east and the Appalachian Trail to the west. The NRV encompasses Montgomery, Floyd, Giles, and Pulaski counties and the City of Radford.
Virginia claims nearly 550 miles of the Appalachian Trail (more than any other state) and a great deal of that mileage is in Southwest Virginia, renowned for its natural beauty, distinctive history, and enduring traditions.
Montgomery County's regional retail hub is situated in Christiansburg, including the New River Valley Mall, which is less than 10 miles on Route 460 from the Virginia Tech campus.
At the southwest corner of Montgomery County is the City of Radford, home to Radford University, about 30 minutes from the Virginia Tech campus.
Accessible to Interstate 81, which bisects Montgomery County, Blacksburg is about 30 minutes from Roanoke, Southwest Virginia's largest city.
Outside magazine named Blacksburg one of the top 10 places to live in the country. It had something to do with the skiing, horseback riding, hiking, camping, rafting, golfing, caving ... you get the picture. Venture Out, a program of Student Centers and Activities, organizes outings all over the area.

I told you so Submitted by TimFromLA on Wed, 05/16/2012 - 12:59pm I hate to tell you this, but I told you so. No, not the OWSLA members, but the folks who said that OWS members are dirty-hippies-communist-socialist-fascist-Barack-Obama-Muslim-loving-terrorists. These same folks hated Obama because he's not American, while we as OWSLA and OWS members dislike his policy. But then there is something to dislike President Obama, and even more.http://www.justiceonline.org/commentary/dhs-releases-more-documents.html No not because he's black, but because his comments: Obama, Clinton Speak Out to Support Iranian Protestershttp://www.dailymotion.com/video/xiqj0l_obama-clinton-speak-out-to-support-iranian-protesters_news Thirty seven seconds in, Obama is supportive of the peaceful revolution. Was it because we are the country of the freedom for countries that live under a dictatorship and is not a part of any austerity measure? And he feels that we as U.S. citizens must be monitored? For what, terrorism? Still, I wondered why were there a mass release after N-30? According to L.A. Weekly, it's because OWSLA clogged the courts and demanded a speedy trial? True, but also, a database of all who were and are part of the Occupy Wall Street movement. The arrests were just a show to gather intelligence illegally for the government, ran by the corporations...can you say fascism? It's a sad and sick day when Bank of America can dictate policies and laws when it was reserved of, by and for the people. Not corporate personhood, but human beings.

00I am a vendor and I attended the same meeting.Mike McMikeI believe GSA's handling of OASIS is the result of smart Government working hard to reconcile the goals of the administration, the interests of the taxpayer, and even the cost concerns of the better vendors. Mr. Soloway is dead wrong, I think. I believe GSA was clear that agencies would, in fact, use OASIS is it were available today. Why are people trying to delay OASIS? I think it's vendors who don't intend to do business any differently in 2014 than they did in 2005. Maybe they should fear OASIS. Here's a news flash: Align your operations with the interest of the taxpayers. Or die as a business. I don't fear OASIS. I am not discontented in any way about OASIS. OASIS looks to me like Government job exceptionally well done!

Grado SR80i Headphones
" The Grado SR80 is a classic headphone. It has a classic style, like a old radio ham. It has been around virtually unchanged for donkeys years. It is a superb entry to audiophile headphone listening. Often overshadowed by the baby of the range, the SR60, which has won numerous awards. The SR80s can be had for only £20. When I auditioned for my first headphones, the first to go were the..." --Prog Rock Man
Grado SR60i Headphones
" When my 3rd set of Bose noise-canceling ear buds broke, I decided to look into a different type of headphone. The first site I stumbled upon was CNET, and for a couple of hours I poured over their headphone reviews. I eventually decided on the Grado SR60i because of their low price and the high regard that everyone held for them. I drove to the nearest audio store knowing which pair I was..." --Ikelmonster
Grado SR325is Headphones
" When I first got these the sound was rather tinny, but over the initial 50 hours they really, really opened up and grew to have a very natural sound. I have them paired with an HRT MS2+ and a Schiit Asgard, which is apparently a good match for Grados. That sound became more warm and round when I switched out the normal pads for quarter-cut softies. I did lose some soundstage with that, but..." --Dicetrain
Grado SR225i Headphones
"My favorite in the Prestige series, the Grado SR225i is a superb sub$200 headphone. The SR225i is much more controlled than the SR125i and a bit smoother than the SR325i. Retaining the excellent Grado midrange and intensity, the SR225i also adds a bit more space to its presentation than the lower models. Comfort wise, the SR225i can be quite stiff and tight on the head when first worn, but they..." --mistyfud

"I may be off on the date but it should be close. SN#7405 :REVIEWED After owning the SR80 for a few years I thought the Grado 325i would just give you more of the same sound as the loved 80,they do not.

Grado RS1i Reference Series Headphones
" (Note: this review is for the generation of headphones immediately preceding the current RS1i.) Grados are the headphone equivalent of old British sitcoms – you either get them, or you don't. Fortunately, I get them… and my favorites so far are the Grado RS1. I own what are known in these parts as "Buttonless RS1s." These headphones are sort of an intermediate step between the..." --Olias of Sunhillow
Grado PS1000 Headphones
" I'm not the reviewing type, but I wanted to make sure that these got another positive review. They have been, in my estimation, savagely and unfairly maligned on Head-Fi, mostly by people who have never owned them. Suffice to say that they are the most satisfying listen of all the headphones I own or have owned. Check my profile if you are interested in my many points of reference. ..." --priest

Grado SR125i Headphones
" These headphones are quite good, and have really great highs. They are an improvement over the SR-80i, with a more balanced and bright sound with better articulation. For the money, they are quite good. These headphones do need to be broken in a bit. The highs start off a little harsh and tinny, but end up pronounced, but more balanced. They also need..." --Godthul
Grado Labs SR325 Black (Vintage)
" These are great headphones. They are fun sounding and prog metal particularly sounds good. Actually all rock as well. The bass is definitely there and you can feel it. The soundstage is wide for a Grado! Highs aren't as harsh as the newer 325 models. Just an all round great headphone. Only complaint is that with flats on they can be just a smidgeon muddy sometimes, with bowls it's not..." --tinseljim

Man, Howard could have a best actor Oscar winner regular on the show. Who says Howard can't attract a-listers?
Ok, name all the A listers that have been on in the last 2 years.
Twitter bully @Omerta440.
I nominate him for best marketing of a goofy looking guy.
Have derision, will travel
If a miracle happens and he wins will he give a "Baba Booey" during his speech? That would show his devotion.
Does this stuff even matter anymore? They have an oscar to a fat woman who can barely speak a couple years back.
Boyfights champion '79-'83
Oh yeah...............Cooper seems like a decent fella', But Hamptons has nothing to do with it..................
So sayeth the Snot!!!! ...........
Howard said he thought John Hawkes should win Best Actor and "The Sessions" should win for Best Movie. Neither were nominated.
Howard is in love with Bradley Cooper, and why not? He is cross eyed with a nose job and color contact lenses, Howard's type, oh yeah, and new veneers on his teeth. The more plastic surgery the better, since Howard has had a ton of surgery so of course he is now handsome.
Cooper should get an Oscar for the "Hangover" movies only.
Piano keys.
This is better than rejuvenation.
If he wins Howard will believe Bradley should thank him because "of the show".
Who's he up against? Too lazy to look.

Are you long on fitness goals but short on money? Not to worry, you can work out on a budget — and when we say budget, we mean free. Not only did I have the best time finding about all that was offered at museums, shopping centers, stores and fitness studios, I learned there was more going on than I could fit into the story, such as the free weekly classes at lululemon athletica in Fort Worth and a new Studio of the Month program at some Luke's Locker locations that highlight an area studio, gym or club with a focus on Pilates, yoga, Latin fusion or boot camp.

Ryanair: Eindhoven to Trollhattan
- Depart: Eindhoven, Netherlands - Eindhoven (EIN)
- Arrive: Trollhattan, Sweden (THN)
- Website: ryanair.com
About this flight
The carrier: Ryanair
The big daddy of them all, Irish low-cost carrier Ryanair maintains the most awe-inspiring route map and tends to add new destinations (and cancel unprofitable routes) at blistering, breakneck speed. Founded in 1985, Ryanair was Europe's original low fares airline and is still Europe's largest low fares carrier. At current count, Ryanair operates well over 1000 routes, from Inverness to Brindisi; Tampere to Tenerife.
It's easy to have lots of opinions about Ryanair; we certainly do. It's a big monster of an airline. We've been pleased as punch on Ryanair, psyched to take advantage of insanely cheap fares, and we've also been annoyed beyond belief with the airline, distressed by enormous surcharges on too-heavy luggage and staff who appear to be completely clueless.
With Ryanair more than with the other airlines we describe here, it pays to be informed about potential penalties and pitfalls.
Massive number of destinations. Really cheap fares.
Numerous extra charges when booking. Customer care isn't a priority. Food prices on board very steep.
* Carry-on: One piece of luggage not to exceed 10 kg.
* Checked: Up to 3 bags with a combined weight of 15 kg. If booked on-line using Ryanair, the first bag is €15 and the second and third bags are €20 each. Over 15 kg, €15 per kg at the airport. Please note that Ryanair increases the price by €5 in July and August.
* Please visit Ryanair's website for more information on its baggage policy.
Since Ryanair is free for all when it comes to landing seats, it can sometimes be worth it to pay the €5 for priority boarding. In advance, book priority boarding status online, if you hold an EU passport.
Check-in and Ticketing
If you check in at the airport, you will also incur a €5 fee. The fee is €10 at the airport. Note that American passengers can only check in at the airport. Online check-in is available from 15 days to 4 hours before departure. The boarding pass can be printed until 40 minutes before departure. If you lose your pass then you will have to pay a fee to have a new one reissued. Bag drop closes 40 minutes before departure, so if you check-in online you must make sure to have your bags in on time.
Book online whenever possible because fees are significantly reduced. Also familiarize yourself with Ryanair's table of fees.

Winter can leave me cold. When not outdoors fighting the elements, I'm hibernating inside by the radiator (that's the best I can do in my fireplace-deprived Manhattan apartment). My skin looks pallid, my running shoes have been collecting dust, and frankly, my confidence has chilled a bit. How do I get my mojo back?
When I posed this question to my pals at COVERGIRL, they suggested I add some color to my dreary world. "When was the last time you changed up your makeup routine?" they asked. Hmmm, point well taken. I was getting pretty bored with my regimen, which had been same-old, same-old for months.
Sensing my desperation, they quickly slipped me some sweet new products: Blast FlipStick blendable lip duos, LashBlast 24HR mascara, and TRUBlend liquid makeup.
While my beauty pep talk was going on, I also reached out to some friends for a few tips on how to act confident—even when your self-confidence has temporarily short-circuited. Here are their recommendations, along with my reviews of the COVERGIRL products:
Blast FlipStick
These blendable lip duos feature creamy lip color on one side and shimmery color on the other, so you can mix and match shades to create a variety of looks. I wore them together and separately, giving me four options in every tube. Brilliant!
Sarah's Confidence Tip: "Flash a warm smile that shows you're comfortable, confident, and approachable."
LashBlast 24HR
They call this "volume mascara," and they are not kidding! The hefty wand separated and defined my scanty lashes and plumped them up beautifully. And when my gal pals managed to pry me from the couch one night and get me out on the dance floor, the stuff lasted through every rock, hip-hop, and salsa number. Best of all, LashBlast washed off easily with soap and water—no scrubbing or tugging required.
Lynn's Confidence Tip: "Project self-assurance and poise by looking people in the eyes—not at the floor or ceiling—when talking to them."
I alluded to "pallid skin" earlier, but did I mention uneven skin tone? Fortunately, TRUBlend liquid makeup solved that pesky little problem. Even though it's lightweight and sheer, this amazingly silky foundation doesn't just provide coverage—it merges with skin to give it a smooth, totally natural look and disguise imperfections.
Alice's Confidence Tip: "A firm—not forceful—handshake conveys confidence, warmth, and grace. Keep it short (three to four seconds), and make eye contact while pumping."
Thanks to COVERGIRL and my hotshot girlfriends, I'm back in the confidence game!

Really liked these handy dandy pins!!

About Me Budget Shopper
Comments about Bedskirt Pins:
We have our box springs on, "Cinder blocks" and our bed skirt was just too big but the "bed skirt pins pulled the bed skirt off the floor and stays in place perfect. I couldn't be more happy!
Best Item. Wish I had bought more

Just love this item. Don't know why i did not buy sooner. wish i had bought for all my beds.
How did I live so long without these?
By Janet
from Kennett Square,Pa
For years I used the screw in type button bed skirt pins.. They worked, but they were hard to install and a pain to move.. These are wonderful, quick to install and move and holds your bedskirt,sheets,or whatever in place.. Thank you
Good idea - wished they worked better!
By Sandy
from Levittown, PA
Some of the bed skirt pins stayed in place and some fell out.
By pat
from millsboro delaware
sorry i bought these clips. three pin heads broke off the first time i pushed the double pin head anchor in and it was not a thick piece of material - just a regular bed skirt and box spring. i was using a safety pin to hold down the bed skirt and thought these would be better but I have gone back to the safety pins and put these all in the trash.
Great Product
By Smart Shopper
from Illinois
These pins work very well to hold dust ruffles in place. I do recommend using more than one set on large king size beds. Be careful, if they do work out -- they are very sharp.
This Really Works!
By Bruno
from New Jersey
This is a great and easy way to shorten bedskirts that you purchase in a comforter set where you dont have a choice on the length of the skirt!!

Not quite what I expected
By WildAngel252
from Boise, ID
I purchased 2 sets of these for my queen sized sleep number bed with adjustable frame. I made sure to avoid the flex areas when poitioning the pins. The next day I found two of the pins on the floor and still am finding, on average, one pin per day on the floor. I just have to keep putting them back. For a regular bed that doesn't move, these work beautifully! I have used them for years on tradtional beds.
Easy to use, but flimsy.
By Mama Bear
from Saint Louis, MO
These pins do hold the bedskirt in place, but be sure to place them about 3" from the edge of box spring mattress. They come out when you change the bedsheet and tuck the sheet under. I had to remove the mattress in order to replace the pins.
Love these pins
By Dee
from Evansville, IN
About Me High-end Shopper
I have dust ruffles that are custom made and have to be pinned to the box springs because they are in 3 separate sections (one for each side of the bed) I used to use safety pins to attach them to the box springs - this was very difficult. One caution - for the type of application that I have, one set is not sufficient for a bed. It takes 1 1/2 sets to do the job right.

So, my minty copy of Wave Race on the GB turned up today and then I remembered that I only had my old Gameboy Colour to play it on. Ideally I need something backlit to play GB/GBC games on so I was thinking of the GBA SP AGS-101. I already have a DS Lite for playing GBA games and I had considered a GB Light before I remembered that a) they are rare and expensive and b) they won't play GBC-specific games.
Had a look at the SP's on ebay but as usual, just a selection of scratched-up tribal models with loose FIFA carts (a slight exaggeration but you understand what I mean) or a few very expensive Ltd Edition front-lit models.
How easy/difficult is it to get hold of the AGS-101 and how much max should I look to pay? The box would be a bonus but in all honesty I'm fine with loose hardware these days so if it's cheaper without the packaging then so be it.
I know there are a few AGS-101 owners here so I thought it would be the ideal place to seek advice
Cheers in advance.

Another interesting theme at Mommy Moments this week, every mommies will be sharing the story behind their kids' name. I'm glad and proud to share mine today.
Our first born is now 12 years old.
In the fifth or sixth month of my pregnancy, we already knew that we are expecting a baby girl. Thanks to the inventor of ultrasound. Then comes the mind-boggling task of thinking a name for the new member of the family. I had this pregnancy booklet given my by OB-Gyne where I refer for baby names.
Abigael, Audrey, Naomi, Madison, Madeline, Mallory, Sophia, Erin Asha and Sue Erin are some of the names that we consider. We both agree in choosing Naomi (pronounced as Nay-oh-mee) over the other names.
Naomi is a Hebrew name for a girl which means pleasant, delightful or beautiful. It is also a character in the Bible. Well, my daughter is growing up to be one. She is not only beautiful but also possesses a pleasant or amiable attitude.
For our second child, we consider the names Patrick, Nathan, Nathaniel, Zachary, and Juan Miguel to name a few. There's not much to share about how we end up with Khalil's name except that it's not a common name during those time.
Khalil is an Arabic name which means friend. Khalil is indeed a friendly boy. I remember him to be always smiling as a little boy. He never threw tantrums even when he is sick.
Well, the only memorable anecdote that I can share about my bunso is the moment when I found out that our second child is going to be a boy. I was ecstatic when I stepped out of the hospital (where I had my nth ultrasound) and immediately call up my husband to share the good news.
That's all I can share with you for now. More stories are found at Mommy Moments.

From there, he laid out what he likened to a common-sense immigration plan. A first and critical step: securing the nation's borders.
"It's absolutely vital for both the success of our immigration policy and for the purposes of national security that we do secure our borders," Paul said. "Not to stop most immigrants from coming - we welcome them and in fact should seek to increase legal immigration."
Paul's proposal would mandate that border and other officials certify border security steps and that Congress would vote on the veracity of those steps for several years.
With that, Paul stated, conservatives would be ready to swallow the notion of millions of illegal immigrants staying in the country.
"If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you," Paul said.
His plan would provide work visas for the undocumented, with a Congressional panel determining how many visas would be given each year.
The plan would bring "these workers out of the shadows and into becoming and being taxpaying members of society," Paul said in his speech.
In a recent column for the Washington Times, Paul suggested normalizing about 2 million undocumented citizens per year.
"I would start with Dream Act kids, children brought here illegally as minors. Normalization would get them a temporary Visa but would not put them ahead of anyone already waiting to enter the country. These undocumented persons would now be documented but they would still have to wait in line like everyone else. But their path to permanent legal status would be no faster than those currently waiting in line," Paul wrote.
Many conservatives -- especially tea partiers who support Paul -- call such measures amnesty. In recent elections, some activists have defeated Republicans who have supported plans that would provide an eventual path to citizenship.

Covenant is located in the old Woodlawn Baptist Church at 1645 Cartersville Highway. The service of dedication will be at 11 a.m. Sunday.
"We could not be more excited about this service," long-time member and Ruling Elder Charles Walls said. "God has been very good to us, and we want to take this opportunity first and foremost to glorify him and then to also thank all those who have been so supportive of this new beginning."
Covenant was formed at an organizational meeting on May 23 and formally received by the EPC on July 28.
"We have been meeting in the fellowship hall of First Presbyterian Church, and they have bent over backward to make us feel at home," explained Jack Foley the pastor of Covenant. "It's been a blessing to have a fellow EPC church in the area. We had sort of a rough exit from our former denomination, but felt called to do what we did.
"The bottom line for us is that we could not live with many of the changes in the PC (USA)," Foley said. "The denomination has become far too progressive, and it came down to whether or not we were going to respect and uphold the authority of Scripture and the Lordship of Jesus Christ as the only way to salvation.
The elders of the Silver Creek Presbyterian Church, where Foley served for a decade, had requested that the church be dismissed from the PC (USA) and be allowed to leave with their property; however, a small minority group sought to remain and retain the historic church and property.
On May 22, Cherokee Presbytery (the regional governing body) voted to assume original jurisdiction and relieve the pastor and elders from their responsibilities.
"The very next day, in a quickly called meeting, the elders and a large majority of the members met in the fellowship hall of First Presbyterian. We sensed that the Lord was calling us to do a new thing, to stand up for what we believed in, and to start a new church — even if it meant starting over from scratch," Walls said. "We've taught the children of the church for many years that the church is not the building. The church is people. Well, now we are living proof of that truth. We left it all behind — everything — our building, our bank account, our choir robes, everything. Even though my wife and I had been members for more than 50 years, we knew it was the right thing to do to leave."
Foley said the church has received eight new members in the transitional period and hopes to be back to 100 members in their first year.
"It won't be easy. We're a small church. But the challenge is for us to live up to our name as evangelical Presbyterians. We believe it is our primary calling as Christians to lead folks to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ."
Foley said the congregation at Woodlawn Baptist wanted to supports Covenant's efforts.
The pastor and deacons said from the start that they wanted to bless us, and they certainly have. They built a beautiful new church and educational building a year or two ago on the same campus behind the old church and had been praying about what kind of ministry God might lead their way for the old facility. Then, we called. The congregation voted unanimously to allow us to meet there. We pray that it is a long-time partnership." Foley said.
A reception will follow the worship service in the church's new fellowship hall. Representatives of Presbytery of the Southeast will be present to welcome the new church into the fold. The other 24 churches in the presbytery have been invited to send a representative as well. "We hope to have a full house and raise the roof with our praises," Walls exclaimed.
For more information, please call Foley at 770-548-0385 or visit the church's website at www.CovenantRome.com.
