OK, I'm willing to make an attempt to implement the recursive_lock if noone else wants to give it a try! It will probably take some time...

I wanted this dress so badly and they didn't have my size. I was worried it would be too short, but it turned out great! I usually take an XS in Free People dresses, but I saw that the model was wearing a Small and I was more concerned with the length. So happy I got this item! It's perfect for summer days/with a jean jacket, and doesn't look as much like a slip in person. Love!

Item # CAM0485
CamelBak Eddy Water Bottle - .75L $14.95
Use the CamelBak Eddy Water Bottle's integrated handle to attach it to a pack with a carabiner, or just enjoy how easy it is to carry. A flip-down valve not only makes drinking a breeze, but it lies flush with the lid to help prevent this BPA-free bottle from spilling.

Holy Grail!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
If your someone like me who has a hard time remebering to drink water or just plain don't like to this is what you need! It is so entertaining to drink out of that some days I drink upwards of two gallons of water! This is my second one and I would buy a hundred more totally worth it! Sometimes I even put my top to this water bottle on my hydro flask, best of both worlds! I have it in pink. My only complaint is that the straw in kinda long so you have to really push it in to be able to drink water.
Family Favorite
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The CamelBak Eddy Water Bottle goes to work, the gym, the playground, and on hikes. We pull it apart and put it in the dishwasher. It is designed so there are no places for grossness or germs to grow.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Received this as a gift and use it all the time.
Great gift
I bought this as a gift for a friend! Super great, he loves it!! He says its 10/10. Dropped it many times and it never cracked!!
easy drinking
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I usually use this water bottle at the gym or at work. Its easy to gulp down a lot of water quickly. Its also easy to clean. The straw and nipple mouth piece are easy to take apart, wash, and put back on. I've had my water bottle for over a year and its still going strong.
Downfalls- if you keep it in the bottom of your backpack it will probably leak a little. A lot if your shaking it around. When I drive from salt lake to Park City the change in elevation pushes water out through the straw, and I end up with a wet cupholder. Now I just keep in on the floor while driving.
Reliable and durable
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Bought this to replace my old CamelBak bottle that I'd had for ages. That one eventually started making a very weird squeaking noise!
These things are truly impossible to spill, which is great for putting in your pack on day hikes.
They are also resilient and I've never seen one crack or chip.
A little bit awkward to clean because I wouldn't want to put it in the dishwasher.
Now the whole family has one
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These are really well built I have some that I have had when these first came out and they are still going strong. Everyone in the house is always fighting over them
The everyday Bottle
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
My wife keeps one in her hand all the time either at home or at the gym. It has quickly taking the place of all other water bottles for her ..
Cool Bottle
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
My Daughter keeps one in her backpack for school at all times. it is great for drinking in class and at home she always has it with her..
What a bottle
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The flip lid on this bottle makes it great for drinking while in the car, on the trail and just about everything in between. The plastic shell has taken some big hits and has never cracked or chipped on me at all. Overall it's a great bottle.
The bottle that can do everything
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This water bottle is Outstanding . It is very easy to use when you are on the move and the days of spilling all over you when you try to drink out of your water bottle are over. It is light weight and seems to be very durable. The family loves it
Pretty nice
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I haven't had this for very long but so far I love it. I've mostly used hydroflasks in the past (still do) but I like this one because of the mouth piece. Seems very durable but does leak a little bit. Overall, It's a good water bottle and I would probably purchase another one in the future. I've heard a lot of bad things about the mouth piece getting dirty so I've been pretty adamant about cleaning it often and so far so good.
I'll Have Another!
I've already got this water bottle in the 1 liter size and liked it enough that I decided to get this one as well. I'm not much of a flip-down valve fan but a classic cap can be found here for a pretty reasonable price:
Spill free bottle
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The flip lid on this bottle makes it great for drinking while in the car, on the trail and just about everything in between. The only downside is that it does take more effort to clean it, preferably by hand. The plastic shell has taken some big hits and has never cracked or chipped on me at all. Overall it's a great bottle.
Awesome bottle, bite valve mediocre
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I used this water bottle for months until I eventually lost it in an airport. While I loved this bottle while I had it I am probably going to branch out and look for a different replacement. The bottle itself was tough as nails and I loved that. The bite valve is the Camelbak style, so it seals nicely when not in use. The downside is that it's got a lot of small cracks and whatnot to clean. If all you ever use is water and you never go long periods without using it, then you won't have anything to worry about. It also fits in MOST cup holders, but not all. The clip is extremely convenient if you live that 'biner life.
Water in a bottle
Holds water.
Good, not great bottle
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The bottle is a good, simple design - except for the bite valve.
I was given a few of these at a trade show. Since, 99% of the time, Im drinking water, and dont clean my water bottles a lot (I normally use Nalgene wide mouths, so there isnt much to clean, and, hey, its only water... I know, total bachelor thinking), I didnt pay attention to the bite valve.
First time that I ran some sports drink/recovery drink (Enervit, if I recall), and then ran it through the washer...I got to see just how much every little nook and cranny in that bite valve holds. It was kinda gross, and took special attention to get it actually clean on the inside.
And, I really like that it is dang near impossible to spill with it. (Totally comes in handy with a toddler around)
Im a low maintenance kind of guy. I want stuff thats easy to clean. But, I do like the bottle. But, with the cleaning thing...I tend to run water through it and not much else.
My daily "GO TO"
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love these. This is my second one i have purchased as the first one I ended up giving it to m grandson cause he loved i as well! I take this everywhere I go- to work, hiking, camping etc. I personally haven't had a issue with the bite valve getting dirty maybe because I do use this everyday. I love the fact that I can drop it, shake it etc and never have a problem with leakage etc!
Loved it for awhile, now, not so much.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I'm torn because for awhile, the Eddy was my go-to, everyday water bottle. I packed it to work for a year and a half. I liked it so much that I bought a smaller size and the stainless steel version.
The Good: I like straw designs, I drink more when I don't have to unscrew a cap which sounds terribly lazy but is also very true. I can drop it, fumble it, and be generally clumsy without spilling. I appreciate that the mouth is wide enough to use with the ice maker.
The Bad: Take note of what everyone says about the bite valve and lid getting cruddy. I'm loathe to admit how gross one of mine was even after putting it through the dishwasher (disassembled, top rack) - it makes me shudder to think of it. The Eddy MUST be disassembled and thoroughly cleaned, I recommend bleach & toothbrush followed by a lot of rinsing. I was always concerned that the area between where the straw attaches to the lid and the bite valve might be dirty - I can't see in there and after finding black gunk on my drinking vessel, I became more paranoid.
The Eddy is spill-proof but not leak-proof. The .75L size doesn't fit well in many drink holders and a couple of times I made the mistake of laying the bottle in my passenger seat, the bite valve leaked. Even folded up, the bite valve will leak unless the Eddy is stored upright.
Conclusion: I loved these bottles at first but I hate that they won't come completely clean in the dishwasher. They live in my closet now.
All Day, Every Day.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I use my eddy as an all purpose water bottle just about every day. It goes with me wherever I go- to work, on hikes, driving in my car. I love the accessibility of the bite valve for times when it would be impractical to unscrew the top of a Nalgene bottle. This is a bottle that will last for years, built with durable plastic, and with a replaceable bite valve and straw. Not to mention, the replacement bite valves come in fun colors! You can see from the photo that I've put a neon green bite valve on my pink Eddy for a fun twist!

More than any other artist in the Impressionist group, Degas was fascinated by ideas and consciously based his work on them. "What I do is the result of reflection and study of the great masters," he once confessed, "of inspiration, spontaneity, temperament I know nothing." Yet his work has been understood very inadequately from that point of view. Publications on him, once dominated by memoirs inspired by his remarkable personality, are now concerned with cataloguing and studying limited aspects of his complex art. Its intellectual power and originality, which were evident to contemporary writers like Duranty and Valery, have not been studied sufficiently by more recent critics. It is this side of Degas's art—as seen in his ingenious pictorial strategies and technical innovations, his use of motifs like the window, the mirror, and the picture within the picture, his invention of striking, psychologically compelling compositions, and his creation of a sculptural idiom at once formal and vernacular—that is the subject of these essays. Inevitably, given the range of his intellectual interests, the essays are also concerned with his contacts with leading novelists and poets of his time and his efforts to illustrate or draw inspiration from their works. Throughout, the author makes use of an important, largely unpublished source, the material in Degas's notebooks, on which he has recently published a complete catalogue.
I. The Butterfly and the Old Ox
II. "Three Great Draftsmen"
III. Pictures within Pictures
IV. The Artist and the Writer
V. "My Genre Painting"
VI. To Make Sculpture Modern
VII. The Artist as Technician
Theodore Reff, professor of art history at Columbia University, has also published many articles on Degas, Manet, Cézanne, Picasso, and other modern artists. His book on Manet's Olympia appeared in 1976, and he has organized an exhibition of the works by Degas in the Metropolitan Museum.

Multicultural Health Brokers Co-op (MCHB) began 24 years ago to support Edmonton's newcomers. The goal was to enhance the health and well-being of families, and foster their efforts at building community so they could thrive, and actively contribute to society. Our cultural brokers are from immigrant communities, and know first hand the social, economic, and language difficulties that immigrants and refugees face. This places us in a unique position to bridge the gap between newcomer families and Canadian society.
After the initial settlement period, it is the medium and long-term adjustment that is critical for immigrant and refugee integration. MCHB helps this process through our various programs, from peri-natal health, to youth initiatives to seniors outreach. MCHB:
- Supports 16% of all births in the Edmonton region
- Serves 23 cultural/language communities
- Offers inter-cultural competency training for government organizations, service providers, and companies
- Supports culturally-responsive practice and policy development in government and community organizations
- Focuses on prevention, and broad determinants of health
- Offers holistic supports – working with families in a manner that respects their individual strengths, challenges and circumstances.

NEWS: MCHB is working with the Edmonton Heritage Council to present Edmonton Living Rooms
In 2016 the Edmonton Heritage Council worked with the Multicultural Health Brokers Co-operative to bring together seven invisible communities of Edmonton, including the Bhutanese, Cambodian, Eritrean, Iraqi, Kurdish, Sierra Leone, and Sudanese. These communities gathered monthly to engage in a journey on narrative growth through sharing various elements of their lives from home, learning, medicine, to artistic expression, justice and migration. Leaders from these communities desired an opportunity to exchange these stories and experiences with fellow Canadians. After months of dedicated effort, this dream became an unfolding reality. In November 2016, the Multicultural Health Brokers Co-operative was awarded the federal Canada 150 Grant. As a result, the communities have agreed to make 2017 the year of sharing 'life' together with Canadians, in beautifully crafted living rooms.

We need YOUR help! Volunteer for our Grocery Run Program!
The Multicultural Health Brokers Cooperative (MCHB) is proud to announce the launch of our new Grocery Run program. This program will take donated foods from grocers, distributors, and other food outlets, that would otherwise go to waste, and get it into the hands of newcomer refugee and immigrant families who are in crisis. These families are struggling to make ends meet and lack food for an evening meal or for their children's lunches.
MCHB is looking for drivers with good driving records and their own vehicle. Larger vehicles such as vans or trucks will be preferred, while the ability to help carry small to medium sized boxes would be ideal. This role would require two hours once or twice per month, mostly on Friday mornings. Reliability will be of the utmost importance. Examples of grocery runs include picking up fresh produce from distributors, going to grocery stores and receiving day-old bread, or heading to the Food Bank for emergency food hampers.
For full details, please click here.
Learn about the MCHB FOOD SECURITY program
Today in Edmonton perinatal, pregnant and post-partum women in immigrant and refugee communities are experiencing high and persistent levels of food insecurity. Often access to the Edmonton's Food Bank (EFB) is inhibited by a lack of transportation, language barriers, unfamiliarity with many mainstream food products, and other factors. Learn about what MCHB is doing to help those in need in Edmonton. Read about Food Insecurity and our Grocery Run program.

Compiled from Times wires

NORTEL EXPANDS CUTS: Nortel Networks slashed its profit forecasts for 2001 and said it now plans to cut 10,000 jobs this year. Blaming a sharp drop in demand for its fiber-optic equipment, Nortel now expects just 15 percent growth in sales and a 10 percent gain in operating profit for the year. Nortel previously said those measures would improve 30 percent or better. It also said it will eliminate 6,000 more positions this year on top of the 4,000 announced last month.
OUTBACK ADDRESSES LONG LINES: By May, Outback Steakhouse Inc. will introduce a partial solution to its No. 1 customer problem: long lines. In a meeting with analysts, the Tampa restaurant company said it will soon let customers call ahead to get on the waiting list for a table. Though the move would reduce the amount of time spent waiting at the restaurant, it would not guarantee a table at a specific time. Outback tested the call-ahead concept in Austin, Texas.
THEATER CHAIN AGREES TO BUYOUT: Loews Cineplex Entertainment Corp. agreed to be sold to a group of Canadian and U.S. investors as part of a bankruptcy reorganization plan. Onex Corp., Oaktree Capital Management LLC and Pacific Capital Group Inc. will convert the $250-million they hold of New York-based Loews' bank debt into an 88 percent equity stake.
OFFICE DEPOT REPORTS LOSS: Office Depot Inc. reported a fourth-quarter loss and warned that first-quarter profit may miss forecasts. The Delray Beach office-supply chain lost $168.3-million, or 57 cents a share, compared with net income of $84-million, or 24 cents, a year earlier. Office Depot said first-quarter income will be 19 cents to 22 cents a share; analysts' had expected 22 cents. Its shares fell 36 cents to $9.09.
HEWLETT-PACKARD EARNINGS DROP: Hewlett-Packard Co. said fiscal first-quarter net income fell 59 percent to $328-million, or 17 cents a share, from $794-million, or 38 cents, a year ago. Excluding acquisition-related costs, Hewlett-Packard said, profit would have been 37 cents a share, matching analysts' expectations. Hewlett-Packard shares rose $1.96 to $36.35.
BROWN & BROWN BUYS INSURER: Brown & Brown Inc. has acquired Spencer & Associates Inc., a commercial and personal insurance agency serving the Melbourne and Titusville area. Spencer's Melbourne office will be combined with Brown & Brown's existing Melbourne operation, while the Titusville office will become a freestanding operation. Brown & Brown has dual headquarters in Tampa and Daytona Beach.
Sykes Enterprises Inc.
The Tampa company said revenue from its core technical support business was 20 percent higher in the fourth quarter than a year earlier. But one-time charges totaling 36 cents per share led to a large quarterly loss. Excluding the midyear sale of its SHPS healthcare arm, Sykes lost 29 cents per share in 2000.
Excal Enterprises Inc.
Revenue gains in the Tampa company's sports licensing division were offset by the rising cost of goods sold and higher market research spending. Results are for the fiscal quarter ended Dec. 31.

We're in for a real treat today, no pun intended. Karen Morgan, owner of Blackbird Bakery and official gluten-free spokesperson for Whole Foods is here for a QA on her business, book and how she got started… I'll also post up some of her favorite gluten-free recipes for kids this week!
What inspired the wonderful concept for the Blackbird Community Cookbook?
The inspiration for the Community Cookbook came to me when I realized that there are millions of others living the gluten free lifestyle that are missing their favorite childhood recipes as much as I do. The recipes from my childhood helped shape my culinary life and to no longer be able to pass them on to my son broke my heart. The thought of other families suffering the same culinary fate moved me to do something about it.
I love that you are asking anyone and everyone to submit their family recipe for a gluten-free version. Do you have one from your family that you are particularly proud of "re-vamping"?
Oh man, I've re-vamped more than 50 recipes from my childhood for this book already! My stand out favorites, though are my mother's honey oat bread, my grandmother's three homemade pasta recipes, and her pizzelles, which double perfectly for homemade ice cream cones. They were a huge hit at my son's birthday party.
What are some of your all-time favorite gluten-free recipes for moms-on the-go trying to prep some last minute dinners for their family?
My gluten free chicken pot pies, gluten free meat loaf, my gluten free gnocchi- which are made from left over mashed potatoes-and my gluten free soda bread for all those school lunches.
How did you start your bakery…was this something you always knew you wanted to do?
I started my bakery after a very long organic process. I spent nearly seven years teaching myself how to bake gluten free and after I baked at a chateau in France for four months, I knew I had found my life's calling. The moment I got home, I launched Blackbird. Before my diagnosis, I wanted to be a writer, but never in a million years did I think I would write cookbooks!

Mr. SIRES. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize the upcoming 65th anniversary of the founding of the State of Israel and the bond of friendship between the United States and Israel.
Like the United States, the State of Israel has stood as a beacon of democracy and hope for Jewish immigrants from all over the world. As an immigrant myself, I understand the importance of the democratic freedoms and values that our nation holds dear. The United States and Israel share and embrace those values as the cornerstones of a vibrant democratic society.
I have been fortunate enough to visit Israel and witness the importance of the friendship the U.S. and Israel share. We share the common goals of peace, freedom, security and prosperity for our citizens and for the region. I am pleased to help honor the State of Israel on its 65th birthday I hope all my colleagues and fellow Americans will join me in taking pride in the unique contributions that our Israeli community has made to our nation.
Again, congratulations to Israel and its people all across the world on their 65th independence day.

Beastfeeding adopted baby?
Hi everyone. We'll be adopting when I'm done with college and settled permanently back home and hubby has a job. We're going to adopt a baby and a 2 year old. I was thinking of breastfeeding my adopted baby but don't want to take drugs or shots to make myself lactate. I have never been pregnant either (currently dealing with infertility) and want my adopted child to have the advantages of breastfeeding that I never had because I was born premature and then put into fostercare for a while. Is there any natural way I could make myself lactate so I could give my baby the type of bonding experience you are supposed to get when you breastfeed? Thank you.
Visit our family page at http://www.freewebs.com/muslimfamily
I'm sure you could find info on www.llli.org or www.kellymom.com. I know that you need to use a SNS (supplementening nursing system) and put either donated breast milk or formula in it and put baby to breast constantly so your body will get the supply and demand it needs. I'm not 100% sure, but, you'd need to use Reglan or Domperidone (I don't think I spelled that correctly...but you need to get it shipped from Canada, it's not avaliable in the USA) to increase lactation. Domperidone is better than Reglan because it doesn't have the side effects like Reglan does (depression...I needed to take Reglan to increase my supply because my DD was losing a lot of weight). You may not want to use medication..but that may be your only way. Maybe talking to an IBCLC (internationally board certified lactation consultant) or LC (lactation consultant) would help you a lot too. Get a lot of support from them and from your family. That is a beautiful thing you will be doing for your child! :) If you cannot lactate for your adopted baby, you could possibly get just donated milk so your baby would have the wonderful benefits of breast milk.
I really hope this was useful and you can lactate to give your baby the best....and it's SO wonderful that you're adopting beautiful children! Congrats on your new family!!!!
I'm Kristina. I'm a married (to my high school sweetheart, Bobby), breastfeeding (and child-led weaning), semi co-sleeping, baby wearing, ERF, solid delaying, vegetarian (for over 16 years), semi-CIO, vaccinating, disposable diapering, gentle disciplining, full-time college student, House MD loving, anorexia, self-injury and sexually abuse recovering, Fibromyalgia suffering SAHM to a handsome boy (Daniel Matthew 5.5.07) and my darling little boobie monster (Ryleigh Madison 9.13.08).
People need to understand that when they're deciding between breastmilk and formula, they're not deciding between Coke and Pepsi.... They're choosing between a live, pure substance and a dead substance made with the cheapest oils available. ~Chele Marmet
Here is the article mentioned in the other post. Good luck! : ) http://www.kellymom.com/bf/adopt/relactation-resources.html

September 2016 - Norwegian Getaway to Caribbean - Western
Specialty dining was great. The Haven was a real treat (with your own private butler), Ship was clean and well-run. Food was good and well prepared. Bowling alley, mini-golf, ropes course, water slides and much, much more. High tech navigation on the ship with touch screens for what is happening and locations on the ship.

Well written overview - thanks! Yes, we may already have read much of this, but it's a 'well-formed' update!
As to Matthew Gardiner's comments on Windows XP, I can only say that MS Office 2000, at least, is easier to use than my (still, stubborn) favorite: WordPerfect (9 currently) and Office 97. If XP has made the same sort of strides, it would be better still.
One might ask: "Just what sort of work do you DO?"
If you need to create DOCUMENTS, Office is a polished produce. OO is clumsy & unintuitive. On top of that, Star Office Write and OO Write are really desktop publishing programs (more complex), NOT word processors.
I recall my first encounter with a Mac. After getting over the fact that I couldn't get to the internals, I realized for simply DOING WORK, the platform was wonderful! Linux has a long way to go here.

In The Chocolate War Jerry sees a poster for "Disturbing the Universe". What possible universes could you disturb, and how?
- print Print
- list Cite
The poster in Jerry's locker reads "Do I dare disturb the universe?". So what does that mean? The word "universe" could be taken in several different senses, but first consider what it could mean to Jerry, and what it might mean to the readers of The Chocolate War.
While Jerry doesn't consciously understand it, at first, he is "disturbing (his) universe" when he stops doing what is expected of him. Specifically, he disturbs the universe of Trinity, which functions on a kind of social contract between the bullying Vigils and the weak and venal authority of Brother Leon. If that balance is kept, then things continue on much as usual. In the most general sense, this universe is upset by Jerry by his action of not selling the chocolates; he tips the balance of power away from the Vigils and Brother Leon, slightly, onto himself. They cannot compel him, no matter how he is threatened and even punished, to do as they say. Some of their power has been leached away by Jerry's actions. This leads them to do things that they would not normally do (such as the Vigils taking the extreme step of the boxing match to punish Jerry, and Brother Leon allowing this to take place). They are, in a sense, controlled by Jerry. An upset to the universe, indeed.
But "universe" can also mean something else. Jerry's private universe is profoundly changed by his actions. He knows his actions to be just, and therefore his character is greatly strengthened by it. He learns to endure suffering and isolation (even Goober deserts him) for a just cause at a young age. These are very important lessons which would not be learned by him, at this young age, if he hadn't stuck to his guns. His internal universe becomes other-focused -- he places more value on the justice of an action than on the convenience or easiness of an action. This is perhaps even more important than the change he makes to the Trinity "universe".
Also, a case can be made that Jerry's family universe changes. It has already altered irreparably with the death of his mother. Jerry, however, learns during this time not to depend on his father, who is in such a state of grief that he would probably not be very useful to his son. What happens when Mr. Renault learns about Jerry's defiance will probably change the nature of their relationship forever.
There are many meanings to "dare I disturb the universe?", but applying the principle in one's life could be simply not doing what is expected of oneself. To do this in the cause of justice and right would be the most profitable and best way to cause character growth, but it need not be as destructive and dangerous as Jerry's actions. Simply changing one's bad habits, or perhaps working proactively on relationships could "disturb one's universe" in a positive way.

there would be headlines in the papers .. even the grown up gangs that ran the all night betting at the all in wrestling .. and the barrow boys would hear with respect of how old man miserys house had been destroyed .. it was as though this plan had been with him all his life .. pondered through all the seasons .. now in his 15th year crystalized .. with the pain of puberty ..
head over heels from donnie darko <> play it
so here we are rockin around the 9 pm hour .. weighing this an that .. munching on some snacks .. waiting for the clips game to tip .. if the rockets had been good then it would be the exact same situation with my 4 nba picks last sunday .. needing the clips to go 4 - 0 in the last game .. i would come on here and tell you how you should always bet against the 4th game in a 4 - 0 nba ats day scenario .. yes .. well im not here to tell you anything about who will cover the clips game .. of course you know i think i will go 2 - 2 as opposed to 3 - 1 .. and if i had the magic instead of the rockets today .. then i would still be saying always play against a 4 - 0 ats in nba when you picked 4 .. not talking about parlays .. am simply talking realistic result probablility .. yes , i created the 4 pick scenario .. the clips just so happen to be the last game on the board .. same as last sun .. so what is my take ? lmao

......... well of course you know if the magic and thunder had handled it for me .. and i went 6 - 0 tha ti would be on here typing donnie's line of how they wanted to see what happened when they tore the world apart .. that they wanted to change things .. ooh well .. it went 3 - 3 .. so , so much for that .. haha
i guess since i labeled this thread with the word tracker i need to throw some 2nd half nba # out there .. okay .
2nd half #s so far in nba
su favs 131 - 77 .. ats (against spread) it's dogs 115 - 92
away favs su 35 - 26 ... ats it's dogs 37 - 24
113 overs / 91 unders it's ? lmao .. so should i wait til sun or jump back out there sat .. you know i am licking my chops waiting for sun .. so i can be 3 - 0 , ridin high waiting for my last pick in the late game in La .. ooh the terror , the pain , the hope .
sat march 24th i guess i just play the 5 picks i made in the contest and hold my breath .. clips -2.5 , wiz +3.5 , raptors +13 , bucks -3.5 and bucks game over 202.2 .. all 1 unit .. i dont love any of them so i cant make em higher rated plays .. i wont try and lie or force it .. the time and space i occupy at the moment is what it is .. right .. right . if i had to force , say a 5 unit play ? i would ride the slumpin clips in the daytime .. and if they fail i would just take the hit .. and just pray for my other 5 small unit plays to go at least 4 - 1 .. knowing they prob wont .. but that would be my thinking .. the clips are being undervalued because they have been losing .. and it does qualify for the ever present successful without trying strat of saty off a team on an L .. but see .. i am not that good .. so there it is ..
this is my 4 leaf clover !!!!!! another story ? mine would be just too wild and out there .. wouldnt want anyone judging me or giving people ammo to use against me .. haha I love my Wife !!! that is my best story .. if only we lived somewhere like LV .. i wonder how i would flow .. i will prob never know . wipes tears .. looks around the room .. feel the temp .. is it gettin hot in here ? oooooohhhhhhhh , we aint even got started yet .. <> Luv

philly +whatever wiz +10 heat +1 lake show under 193 all 1 unit
sat plays went 4 - 1 .. f'd by the bucks to spoil the 5 - 0 perfection ..
is early .. this take is just my tracker take as well as feel .. if my take changes i dont like to have to come back on here and change my plays .. if i would have went 5 - 0 today i would have a song .. but no 5 - 0 sooo no song .. hopefully i will be back on this thread around 10:20 pm sun night to tell you to bet against the 4 - 0 .. but really i like the under too much to even do that .. 4 - 0 is not a big deal even in the nba .. just before the game comes on if you ask someone to pick 4 (ats) off the nba board we would never realistically anticipate 4 - 0 .. so thats why i come on here before the 4th game comes on with the 4 - 0 perfection scenario hanging in the balance .. hey .. i could start out 1 - 2 so then i would be due to hit the last pick .. the scenarios are as long as broad st .. and as twisty as a ___________ twisty horned antelope clue in a crossword puzzle .. ? lmao most have never even seen a antelope in person .. ever ? probably not , but they exist .. kinda like this crazy nba mess . if someones life depended on it and you had to thrive wagering on nba ? the average persons slogan more than not would be >>> NBA = never bet again .. i could hit 20 nba in a row .. and i still would think it was bs . is something to do .. sooo .. there it is . playoff time betting is tight , i wont deny that . i wonder if the strike mess was all planned to screw the schedule up and make it more difficult for people to bet .. ooh well , is history now , i guess the answer is they are just spolied and have no clue how lucky they are ... Luv <>

raptors +8 heat -3 wiz +1.5 bobcats +6.5 bucks +6 rockets -6 jazz -2.5 nugs + 7 clips -9.5 note : >> if i played the whole board , im gonna trim it down to 6 .. i am typing this in the aftermath of thinking better of playing the whole board for posted plays .. thanks for understanding <>
sun i went 0 - 4 .. i went with 3 road dogs and an under for the last game of the night , an espn special .. grizz seemed to be simply off the chain in hitting big shots .. laker d is something to be desired right now .. if in fact the game is even on the level .. i wont even mention bynums 3 pter at the buzzer to affect 2nd half wagers .. to actually sit and watch that game ? well , it wasnt worse than the last game on the board the night before in gs with the kings and warriors trying to give the game away time after time ,, speechless ? dont know what to say .. except it seems when $$ is not on the game everything has a normal flow and it really does seem to be more on the up and up .. i guess high profile games are shady .. how could anyone not literallly hate those mfers .. lmao sun night was fav dominated favs 6 - 2 ats .. so picking 3 dogs was a recipe for lure .. lakers were the last game on the board to make it a clean 8 - 0 fav sweep su .. but of course it didnt happen ..
so now here we are on monday .. so looking at my 3 losses yesterday ats , all 3 of them were on the left side of the paper , away teams .. the one away fav was good at least , the suns . wtf is up with those guys .. nba .. lets start a run baaaby ! maybe sweep the board tonight .. 4 dogs and 3 dogs was my original take .. leaving out the nugs and raptors games .. why should i add ... okay .. i will leave out .. no .. i will leave the add ons an go for the 9 - 0 sweep of the board for mon . nope .. i will leave out the raptors and nugs and stay with my 7 contest picks .. which equals >>>> 4 dogs and 3 favs .. when i picked the jazz they were +1 .. i will not even play the jazz and just go with 6 ... there we go . look for 3 - 3 and hope for 5 - 1 / 6 - 0
revised plays for mon >> wiz , bobcats , heat , bucks , rockets , clips .......... spreads are up top with my original playing the whole board take .. these 6 are my official plays .. 2 units each ..
i am not that great at nba .. one reason is because when i am on a play it might happen to be one that is fixed because it really is a fuckin sharp play .. but it goes in the L column .. i wont try and count them this year or talk about years past .. but is all part of the game .. no way around it ... is like the flu .. you know it , you see it , you feel it .. you just cant seem to really connest with it .. you always want it to just go away and be fair and feel good .. you cant change it right .. as long as you play the game you feel its effects .. inconsistency might be another wor for pro sports .. though there are always exceptions to the rule right .. would be nice to know who those were huh .. lmao Luv goooo hiffey in this b , go hiffy in this b .. goo hiffy in this b .. pretty lights , hot like sauce .. pay it for mon and sweep with your plays !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gonna make you sweat gonna make you bleeeeeeed <> <> <> <> <> <> <>
well damn , that sucked .. a goo strat would be not to show up on this thread until i get the ice outta my brain .. haha so 2 - 4 for mon .. got beat by a half pt here a pt there .. there , here , there .. bs ! congrats to people that were on the right side of the tilts .. thats why you knock a couple pts off that mf right .. refuse to get beat by a half pt and a pt . .2 pts .. lmao wow .. noo hell no i aint posting no plays for nba for tues ..
sike !!! i take 6 favs ONE UNIT EACH .. and look for an improbable 5 - 2 fav result .. lines coincide my contest pick lines .. leaving out the philly game as i seem to be cursed this year picking games they play in .. or so it seems .
get real , why pick soo many ? hey you can fade them .. is better to pick 2 or 3 to be able to CONSTRUCTIVELY fade yes .. so that would mean i need to just pick 3 .. okay >>> play pocket full of stones by ugk <> i go with _____________ i go with all 6 favs like i said .. if philly is good as the first game on the board then that makes it less likely i show an over the top rec with the remaining board of 6 favs .. probably .. philly line not even out yet .. ooh 8 or 8.5 .. lmao these are my picks just to be picking i would not wager them .. my mind is on 3 - 2 bases loaded nobody out bottom of the 9th down by 1 .. <> nicee when one sport takes the backseat because another one rolls in ..
godspeeed ! Luv <> <> <> <> <> <> <>
.... since i got this pocket full of stones .. let me talk about the games for tues .. 3 away favs , spurs , okc and lake show . wowza ! this board might be as deep as it could ever get 7 games... 7 game .. oooh , 7 games . should i look at the count 365 ago .. as not to get too carried away .. okay ,,. i wont .
thoughts .. if grizz bring what they had against la then they could roll ... if love for minny is anything like he was last game then a pt spread would be silly .. bucks line being 2 is what i would think everyoen would say .. seems fishy being soo low .. goin home team in that one .. was wrong wit hbucks their last time out .. if i used the REFUSE TO TAKE A TEAM COMIN OFF A L su or ats then obviously i would nto take the bucks here .. how nice it can be to be saved a loss because you stayed inside your system .. right .. ooh the torture . mavs rockets drew blannk .. so i just go home team again .. though this may be easy dog to get in .. spurs game ? both teams comin off w's .. taking away fav because the sns just have to prove me wrong .. if they really are on top of their game right now .. then they have to show me .. duncan ? one player in or out seems to be a setup in the nba more times than not .. so who give a f whos in .. lmao thunder at blaze ? just going with overall superior team .. could they have spent some of that valuable , monster energy coming off kicking the heat azz .. and blaze not high in peoples eyes now .. ooohhh , i just go with the superior team an be feelin lucky if it is not some bs that happens .. last game on the board with the lake show ? gs has an over the top guard that makes all the differenc .. will he put 30 plus up to keep em in it ? well damn .. i am just going with the superior team with la .. if how the lakers played d last game was any indication then i think over .. but that game was an espn game and the grizz were getting lucky and the lakers were leavign them wide open to shoot .. so who the f knows.. lmao what kind of d the biggest name in the west will bring to gs .. i got a pocket full of stoneees brah ... <><><><><><><> you want a free base i got them hoovers for your ride ... thanks for letting me ramble about this no end to ramble about subject of >>> fuckin sports baaaby !

Essential Ferret Gear
Filed in Small Animals, Ferret
Getting a ferret is like bringing a newborn into your house in the sense that it starts a chain reaction of purchases. Instead of strollers, cribs, and pacifiers, it's wire cages, water bottles, and toys.
Below is a general shopping list of new pet needs to help you get started in the wonderful world of ferret ownership!
Collar & Bell
The first two pieces of essential ferret gear you should purchase are a small collar and bell. The bell will let you know where your ferret is at any time. If you're a bird owner, it will also give your feathered friend a clue that a potential invader is nearby.
A small dog or cat harness is also handy. These small harnesses are preferable to leashes in that they secure the ferret to the leash by more than one point. Moreover, since the ferret is such a clever escape artist, a harness makes it far less likely the ferret will escape the leash of its owner.
They enjoy riding on your shoulders or in a pocket, but for safety when they are out in the open they should be in a harness with a leash attached. They can also be restrained by picking them up by the scruff of their neck. Just like a cat, they will stop squirming and remain.
When not freely roaming about your home, ferrets love thick, wire mesh cages complete with a small quilted bed. Most ferrets prefer to sleep within this relatively small, enclosed area. A cat or rabbit-sized wire cage or suitably size dog/cat crate works very well. (See related products below.) Ferrets nibble and any toxic paint or other coating may harm them. The best cages are plan metal or hard coated with some form of epoxy.
A ferret can be very comfortable in a cage made of chicken wire, but a thicker mesh is preferable. Ferrets are true escape artists and squeeze through any hole bigger than one-inch square. A floor should be provided so the ferret will not catch his claws on the mesh.
The floor should have a solid surface, like linoleum. This makes for easy cleaning and will not snag the ferret's claws. A pan under the flooring will make clean up quick and easy. The bedding and toys will not fall through a solid floor.
Never leave your furry friend in an aquarium, as he needs the social interaction and sense of being included in life in the house. The glass walls are not windows to your ferret. A cage of two feet by three feet by two feet high is generous for one ferret. Two or even three ferrets can share this enclosure.
When allowed free reign of the house they are often silent and secretive as they race about. Many owners find a cat collar with a bell helps to avoid stepping on the pet.
Food & Water Bowls
Food and water bowls need to be accessible at all times and should be very heavy as the ferrets tend to play in them and will knock over any lighter weight bowls. You should clean them every day, but do not use detergents. Soak the water bowl in hot water. If you are using ceramic bowls, be sure to let them cool down before reintroducing them into the ferret's cages.
Ferrets prefer to drink from bowls than from the water feeders that mice and other rodents use. They rest their front paws on the dish and lean into it. They tend to be fastidious, but can fall or jump into a bowl of water for play. Be sure to place something under the bowl to catch the overflow.
Throw away any fresh food after the ferret has had a chance to eat it so it will not rot in the cage. Dry ferret kibble will not spoil and can be left in the food bowl for a longer time. Remember that your ferret requires about 35% of his diet to be meat protein-based. Limit high fat treats that will lead to obesity in ferrets. Returning them to normal weight is not difficult as we can limit their fat intake and they will normally exercise during their play.
Litter Boxes
Ferrets can be trained to use a litter box, but it may take longer for your friend to catch on than a cat. They are not always as fastidious as the average house cat, but can be trained. Accidents do happen, however. Remember to empty their litter box every day.
Use of plain cat litter is recommended, not wood shavings or clumping litters. Shredded paper will not work as well for ferrets as for rabbits.
To Vitamin Or Not To Vitamin
A high quality ferret food that has been fortified with vitamins is necessary to maintain general health. A ferret can develop dietary deficiencies if feed the wrong food for too long. Check with your veterinarian for recommended supplements.
Hammocks & Sleeping Bags
Ferrets are adaptable to many types of furnishings. A ferret can easily make a bed of a folded T-shirt or there are specially designed beds for your pet. Pieces of old jeans can be suspended for a napping hammock.
Gnawing & Chew Toys
Like other small furry mammals, ferrets will chew. Natural wood sticks are best. Be sure they do not have access to painted wood or breakable plastics or rubber. Small objects can be swallowed and lodge in their intestinal tract.
Ferrets are not destructive to most furniture or clothing they like to chew on soft rubber especially. So be sure your ferret is protected from tennis balls, children's toy dolls and other objects that can be chewed and swallowed.
Younger ferrets will nip just like a kitten or puppy. They will outgrow this behavior after a few months. They are not being vicious, as nipping behavior is common to ferrets just as it is with puppies. They should not be left alone with small children or infants as they can bite.
Play Toys
There is no need for specially designed toy just for ferrets. Almost everything is of interest to them. Anything they can carry, roll around, climb in or rub against seems to entertain them just fine.
Now that your new friend has everything he needs to be healthy and happy, spend some quality time playing and socializing with him!

AreaBluetooth Represents the next generation of bluetooth proximity marketing systems, specially developed for the fast and easy deployment of your marketing campaigns and general communications.
AreaBluetooth is a point to point transmission system that relays on the Bluetooth universal protocol.
When a bluetooth enabled device (mobile phone, PDA, computer, etc) enters the coverage area, the systems analyzes if there are available contents for the device and then prompts the user for authorization before sending your campaign media files.
Once the user receives the files, they can re-send and distribute the contents to other devices encouraging a viral marketing behavior.
It is convenient to locate the bluetooth hotspot on places where users can stop long enough to allow the system to make a complete transfer of the media content before the user exits the coverage area. During this time, the system check the user device for a suitable campaign, sends the authorization request to the mobile device and if accepted, transfers the media files.
Keep your media files small to reduce the transfer time and reduce the risk of errors produce by the mobile device leaving the coverage area. Tips on media file types.
Reinforce your Bluetooth Proximity Marketing campaigns with traditional media such as posters and signs to encourage people to turn on their bluetooth device service and accept your media contents. By doing this, you can increase your effectivity by a 25%

Eat Like an Argentinian
Recipe by Alejandra De Miguel.
Pairing: Serve with Domain St. Diego Brut Xero, Lulunta Valley-Mendoza, Argentina.
5 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 lb butter
1 tsp salt
1 cup warm water
1 lb ground beef
2 lbs onions
1-1/2 cups butter
1/2 tsp salt
Pepper to taste
1 tsp oregano
3 hardboiled eggs
5 green onions
3/4 cup black olives
Chop the onions finely and place them in a pan with a little butter at medium heat. Add salt and cover while cooking. Cook onions until translucent. Add ground beef, oregano and pepper. Add the olives and the green onions once the meat starts to cook.
Refrigerate the filling overnight.
In a large bowl, combine water and salt. Add flour and mix together. Add butter then knead until smooth.
Stretch out the dough to approximately 1/8″ thick and cut 24 circles (approximately 5″ diameter). Use a dough cutter or an aluminum can if you don't have one.
Spread the dough disks, and add a tablespoon of the filling and an eighth of a hardboiled egg (small piece of white and yolk).
Wet your finger tip and wet the edges of the disk. Fold over and press the edges together or use the end of a fork by pressing it down over the edges.
Cook at 400F for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Makes 24 empanadas.

Here on Sweets we don't need a reason to eat things like double chocolate chip muffins, but it's always nice to know that while indulging our sweet tooth, we're also helping change the world.
That's why we're excited about Cissé Trading Co.. Superstar pastry chef and friend of SE Jenny McCoy teamed up with Diana Lovett to create a line of gourmet baking and hot cocoa mixes that uses Fair Trade, organic cocoa powder.
McCoy and Lovett buy cocoa from small production cocoa growers in the Dominican Republic at a fair price, then they use that cocoa to create their mixes. Chocoholics will love the line, which includes treats like double chocolate chip muffins, double chocolate layer cake, and milk chocolate chip brownies. They also sell mixes for hot cocoa, though with a pastry chef twist—think, dark chocolate and cinnamon.
To get their project rolling and fill the orders they've already got from Whole Foods (where the mixes will be available in the fall) they've started a Kickstarter campaign. Delicious chocolate mixes that help support small farmers in the DR? Sounds pretty sweet to us.

Army officer Deidre Roux has hidden her psychic abilities until now. But ominous visions plague her and between the martial arts tactics her twin brother taught her and the hand-to-hand combat she learned in the Army - she's realizing just how important these skills are for her well-being. When a reporter moves in next door, she's not sure just what to think.
Dave Carter owns a gun - it is Texas - and comes to her rescue when her brother suddenly drops into her life again. From there it's the normal stuff that women and men tend to do when they're getting to know each other - boating, swimming, dancing - except for one thing... she's trying to keep her secret under wraps at all costs, which is difficult to do when she's under surveillance by the FBI, and people keep wanting her dead.
Could a reporter, who's not really a reporter, prove he might just have what it takes to keep her safe - for the long run?

"Needs work"
The narrator is the biggest problem, the women sound like teenage girls and the men sound even younger. When things get "dicey" or "dangerous" the narrator sounds like Their taking a walk in the park. I think a different narrator could have really made a difference.
I enjoy most of Terry Spear's work. However, I will stick to reading the books myself, rather than trying them in audio format.
Ms. Jennings read too quickly. Much of the story seemed like one run on sentence. Pauses between character changes, paragraphs, and conversations were too brief. It seemed as if Ms. Jennings were simply reading words on a page, rather than conveying a story, for most of the book. There was very little discernment between character voices, as well.
The main characters in this book did not evoke any interest for me. Deidre seemed too much of a pushover, and Dave came off as a bit chauvinistic. The romantic part of this book felt rushed and forced. While I am usually one to love a romantic suspense, this story could have done with more suspense and a lot less romance.
"An Amazing Book"
Terry Spear's Bound by Danger was a fast paced thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Laura Jennings brings the characters to life and makes you want to stay put until the end. I look forward to more from Ms Spear.
"Action packed!!"
Hmmm tough question, but I would say no. The book or story by Terry Spear is what I think is awesome. I think the audio edition is a great way to multi-task because you can listen while doing other things except sleeping of course because they you would miss the story. I listened going to and from work. Definitely must think about who is in the car with you though because this was an adult book, so I couldn't listen when my son was in the car.
Deidre is my favorite character because she is a strong female who can kick some butt. I love when authors make their female leads women who can take care of themselves, but also down to earth and appreciative when someone does help them.
The end was my favorite, but I can't tell you about it because I refuse to ruin your adventure with details that spoil it for you.
I definitely laughed a lot, and I was totally sucked into the story while listening.
My Thoughts - 4 out of 5 Unicorns - I really liked it!!!
***Received a free code from the author to get an audiobook for an honest review
The cover is steamy and definitely draws the eye.
Okay, I think there are two aspects to look at for this review: the book and the audio.
I have been in a classroom where an audiobook was being played, but this is the first time I listened to a whole audiobook. For me, I liked that I could hear my book while I drove to and from work, so I was multi-tasking which is a great thing for me. I don't know if I love the person reading the book though. I think I am going to have to listen to a few more audiobooks before I figure out what I really think because one isn't enough to figure it out. I also have to start sticking to YA appropriate audiobooks in the car because my 13 year old son will also be in the car starting tomorrow. Please remember with audiobooks that you need to think about who else can hear your book before you start listening to it.
As usual, Terry Spear has another action packed story. Her descriptions are always awesome, so you can imagine everything happening as you go through the story. This story was so much better than I'd imagined which was idiotic of me because I should have known with Terry's name on it that it would be awesome. But I was leery because it wasn't one of my shifter books, they are my favorite. :)
Deidre is a fantastic character. I love how she handles herself and everything life throws her way including her visions. I really liked Dave as a character. Deidre's brother and Dave's co-workers added plenty of humor in the midst of all the action.
I will always reador listen to books by Terry Spear but especially her shifter books because they are favorites. I do have some of her YA audiobooks and will start listening to one tomorrow :)
"Gripping Suspense, Non-Stop Action, Hot Romance!"
I have not read the print version. I enjoyed the audio version.
The non-stop action, the gripping suspense and the romance!
There were multiple scenes I really enjoyed. I loved the happy-ever-after ending.
The scenes in the safe houses - especially the one in Merritt Island, which is near my home.
Safe houses aren't safe!
Oh my! Gripping suspense... Non-stop action ... Sizzling HOT romance.... Numerous intriguing settings... Great Twists... and a Happy-Ever-After Ending that was absolutely awe-inspiring cool! I LOVE Terry's books and Bound by Danger certainly did NOT disappoint! I'd take a breath as one catastrophe was averted and then held that same breath as another one ensued!
Please know that I listened to the audiobook version of this book. The dialogue was polished and well-spoken and I had no trouble at all following the story. The main and supporting characters were all engaging. The story grabs you from the first few spoken words and doesn't let go until the epilogue wraps it up.
Deidre and Dave were our heroine and hero. Deidre was shy, an army officer with martial arts training, with a gift that she did not share out of her family. Her relationships had never gone anywhere as the strings pursuant to her gift would require a special person - one that Deidre didn't think existed. Dave was an FBI man, a former military. He was assigned to protect Deidre and her brother after they were targeted to die by an unknown party. He was all business and had never gotten emotionally involved in his cases... until he met Deidre.
I listened to this while running and forgot I was running. I gardened more than I'd gardened in a while... I just got carried away in the story.
Great Audiobook!!!!!
5 Stars!
"Bound by Danger"
Terry Spear's ability to transport the reader into the story.
Deidre - she is a strong woman who knows how to take care of herself.
She did a good job.
I could see someone listening all in one sitting. Having 4 children makes this a bit hard. I got to listen each day on the treadmill.
I really enjoyed this story. It is a departure for Ms. Spear's paranormal stories that you usually associate her with. I would highly recommend this story

There is this problem:
If , express in terms of a.
I expressed tan in terms of and isolated it. I obtained .
But what about the sign? For example, for the first period should be positive for values of x greater than 0 and negative for values of x less than 0, but there does not seem to be anything in the expression I obtained that can account for the sign. Could somebody tell me what I have done wrong?
Thanks a lot.

Football fanatics looking forward to the World Cup in Brazil next year have already been flocking to the country, ahead of next year's games. Searches for hotels in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo increased by 36 per cent and 32 per cent, respectively, during the first part of this year.
However, fans of the game will have to pay a price to see their teams play in the cup, with average hotel prices in São Paulo growing by 6 per cent to £135 per night, and prices in Rio de Janeiro growing by 13 per cent to £177 per night, compared with 2011.
Furthermore, Rio is one of the hosts of this year's football Confederations Cup, drawing even more football lovers to the city. Restaurants and bars are capitalising on the surge in tourism, bumping up their prices all around the two cities.
Top of the league of international visitors are Brits, with the number of people arriving in Brazil from the UK rising by 4 per cent last year. That number is predicted to increase again this year as more football lovers make their pilgrimage to Brazil, ahead of the 2014 World Cup.
However, it's not just the football frenzy that is drawing Britons in, National Treasure Michael Palin's BBC documentary on Brazil last year has also been linked to an increase in Brits visiting the country.
"While Michael Palin has been an inspiration for many, the country's booming economy has been a big draw for business travellers. As the country gears up for the World Cup, we're expecting demand to continue to grow," said Alison Couper of Hotels.com.
