Christian T-shirt Inspired by the Bible Galatians 6:14- May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
This is such a POWERFUL verse! It is a reminder that we are only to boast in Christ and what He has done for us. Too many times we try to take the spotlight or glory for ourselves. We are to always give Christ the credit and to point people in His direction not ours.

Ontario's agriculture minister said the province won't be offering new money for struggling farmers in eastern Ontario, but said he has asked the federal government for financial assistance.
Ted McMeekin, the minister of agriculture, food and rural affairs, was in North Gower, Ont., meeting with livestock farmers on Tuesday, a day after the province made a formal request to the federal government to conduct an assessment under the AgriRecovery framework for disaster relief.
The federal government has 45 days to conduct such an assessment.
Speaking at a news conference Tuesday afternoon in Saskatoon, federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz said that Ottawa was "absolutely" prepared to respond to Ontario's request, pointing out that there are a number of existing programs that should help Ontario farmers, including federal crop insurance.
"I understand some 75 to 80 per cent of cropland is under insurance guidelines. That's great," Ritz told reporters, pointing out that recent rain in some areas may save the soybean crop although a lot of the corn is "beyond salvation."
"The crop insurance people are already on the ground and doing those assessments so those cheques can flow fairly quickly," Ritz said.
"We're more concerned at this point about the livestock sector, which is going to need access to feed, because the pastures just aren't there and some of them didn't get their first cut of hay, let alone their second or third that they're used to," the federal minister said.
Ritz pointed out that unlike cash crops, only about 10 per cent of forage crops for livestock are covered by crop insurance.
Livestock assistance
McMeekin asked Ottawa to accelerate tax relief for livestock producers in regions that are most affected by the drought.
The province has also asked Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada to help the province assess support options for livestock producers.
The province had previously sent a letter regarding relief for the southern Ontario fruit tree freeze. The assessment of that request is due Sept. 3.
The hot, dry summer has devastated many crops in eastern Ontario, hurting both grain and livestock farmers who rely on grains for their feed.
McMeekin also appeared at Maple Lane Farms in Cobden, Ont., at 3 p.m.

From phasing out red-light cameras to creating specialty license plates in honor of the San Antonio Spurs, the Texas House loaded road-related measures on to a Texas Department of Transportation overhaul today before giving an initial OK to the measure.
The TxDOT bill at its core is meant to bring more openness, accountability and local responsivness to an agency some lawmakers have accused of having too little.
The measure carried by Rep. Carl Isett, R-Lubbock, would tighten legislative oversight of the agency and give local communities more power over transportation planning and funds.
It was heavily amended in debate that went until almost midnight last night and resumed this morning.
Its five-member commission, now appointed by the governor, would be replaced by a statewide-elected chair and 14 regionally elected commissioners under one amendment.
Among a slew of other amendments, the House also approved provisions to delete the Trans Texas Corridor from current law (the agency has already said it won't proceed in its current form) and took aim at tolls, such as by banning the conversion of a taxpayer-financed road to a toll road and trying to ensure the 281-1604 project in San Antonio can't be a toll project.
After a final vote expected Monday, the measure will head to the Senate. What will happen there is anyone's guess, but you might expect some amendments to fall off.

Former bird sanctuary owner 'illegally stole and sold endangered species of birds'
Keith Beaven, 68, is the former boss of Newent's International Birds of Prey Centre and he has been in court accused with a number of crimes including the theft and illegal sales of a number of birds.
Beaven allegedly pretended to run a rare breeding programme and borrowed endangered species of birds from zoos, however, he then illegally sold them on.
The court heard that Beaven convinced wildlife centres around both Britain and Europe to loan him a number of birds to help protect their populations.
However, he is then alleged to have faked or altered official ownership certificates and proceeded to sell the birds of prey to different buyers.
Some of his scams were carried out whilst running the Newent centre, which had run into financial problems, the jury was told. One incident involved him being in the process of acquiring a milky owl from a zoo in Germany, whilst contacting an Italian vendor promising to sell him the bird.
As well as all of the above, he is also being accused of stealing two eagle owls from Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, and a Ural owl, a spotted owl and a Boobook owl owned by Dudley Zoo in the West Midlands.
Other birds that he has been accused of stealing include the milky owl owned by Heidelburg Zoo in Germany and a milky owl from Paignton Zoo in Devon.
Beaven is being tried at Gloucester Crown Court.
He pleaded not guilty to four counts of theft, four counts of fraud and one of selling three endangered black kites.
However, he pleaded guilty to one charge of fraud and one of theft.
The centre is no longer under his ownership after he sold it back to his predecessor Jemima Parry-Jones in 2008.
The week-long trial continues.

SMF - ReInstalled Sept 20 2011 !
I don't read too much into dreams or psychic predictions, but I did have a dream about Jennifer a couple of weeks ago, and thought what the heck, might as well share.In my dream Jennifer was in a hotel, with at least two other men, and I believe another female. There were two beds in the room. Jennifer was raped on one of the beds and the other man watched. When the rape was over she was free to leave the hotel on her own. She walked out of the room and the next part of the dream was her walking down a very busy sidewalk, along a very busy street (seemed like a business district) with her arms crossed and her head down. She was feeling very ashamed and like she couldn't go back to her real life. She was also dressed oddly. She was wearing a black sparkly v-neck sweater that was way too big for her, a tight black mini skirt, a gray scarf wrapped around her neck that was extremely long and extended past her hips, and black boots that came up to her calve muscles and had skinny belts around the ankles that were too big. The boots were also kinda bulgy, especially around the ankles. Everything on her but the skirt was too big for her.I'm sure my dream doesn't mean anything, but there's no harm in sharing.

De Boer v. Snyder (6th Cir.)
DeBoer v. Snyder was a federal-court challenge to Michigan laws that prohibited the state from recognizing as a marriage any union other than that between a man and a woman. On January 23, 2012, plaintiffs April DeBoer and Jayne Rowse, both of whom have individually adopted children, filed a lawsuit in the Eastern District of Michigan challenging the state's ban on adoption by same-sex couples. Michigan law restricted second-parent adoption to married couples, a Catch-22 for same-sex couples, since the state excluded them from marriage. At the invitation of District Court Judge Bernard Friedman, the plaintiffs amended their Complaint to challenge the "underlying issue" of the state's ban on same-sex marriage. Judge Friedman heard argument on March 7, 2013, but delayed ruling until after the Supreme Court's decisions in United States v. Windsor and Hollingsworth v. Perry.
Following further oral argument and a trial, Judge Friedman on March 21, 2014 ruled that Michigan's same-sex marriage ban was unconstitutional and violated the plaintiffs' right to the equal protection of the law. The state appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, which stayed Judge Friedman's ruling pending appeal.
On June 16, 2014, Constitutional Accountability Center and the Cato Institute jointly filed a friend-of-the-court brief in DeBoer, urging the court of appeals to uphold the lower court's decision. Our brief demonstrated that the text and history of the Fourteenth Amendment guarantee equality under the law and require equality of rights for all classes of persons and groups, including gay men and lesbians. The Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment recognized the right to marry as a basic civil right of all persons. As our brief demonstrated, the Amendment's sweeping guarantee of equality unambiguously applied to the plaintiffs in DeBoer, and prohibited the discriminatory marriage laws at issue in this case.
DeBoer was one of three cases before the Sixth Circuit involving marriage equality in which CAC filed an amicus curiae brief. The others were Bourke v. Beshear and Tanco v. Haslam. On November 6, 2014, the Sixth Circuit handed down an opinion authored by Judge Jeffrey Sutton (and joined by Judge Deborah Cook) reversing the rulings of the courts below; Judge Martha Daughtrey dissented. With this decision, the Sixth Circuit became the first federal court of appeals since United States v. Windsor to uphold state laws denying marriage equality to same-sex couples and created a split among the circuit courts of appeals. Plaintiffs filed a petition for a writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court on November 14th, which was granted on January 16, 2015. In DeBoer – and its companion cases Obergefell v. Hodges, Tanco, and Bourke – the Supreme Court will resolve two questions, whether the Fourteenth Amendment requires states to license the marriages of same-sex couples, and whether the Fourteenth Amendment requires states to recognize the marriages of same-sex couples legally entered into in other states.
On March 6, 2015, CAC filed an amicus curiae brief in the consolidated cases, urging the Supreme Court to reverse the Sixth Circuit's ruling. For more information about the consolidated cases and CAC's involvement, please visit our Supreme Court case page for Obergefell, et al.

Hi guys,
I've been wondering about the way my jeans fit in relation to my hips. I was told today that I have quite large hips, and as a skinny jeans wearing guy this was of massive, but quiet concern.
Without having to go out and buy a tape measure (I know, silly not having one) is there any way I can tell if my hips are too wide? I'm struggling hard to look in the mirror with any degree of objectivity, and I don't really have a good reference point either.
Secondly, if the worst transpires and I actually do have particularly wide hips, what can I do with my jeans? Almost all my jeans, and indeed chinos, are fairly skinny, although not tight. This seems like a real faux pas for a guy of such proportions - but I don't particularly want to relearn the art of wearing jeans, as I have always felt I'm doing in anything but the trusty Topman skinnies I parade around in. Furthermore as a not particularly tall guy - although not short per se - I enjoy the illusion of height they offer.
And finally, is there anything that can actually be physically done about this? It seems like a bone structure thing so I ain't holding out hope!
Thanks for reading guys, what do you think?

Cockpit Designer Makers Abigail Brown and Sian Zeng are taking part in the Wildthing exhibition at the Aberystwyth Arts Centre in Wales from 25 June – 14 September .
"Ideas and images of the natural world are richly rewarding sources of inspiration for artists working in many different media; Wild Thing shows contemporary British artworks which place the animal centre stage." Eve Ropek, Aberystwyth Arts Centre 2011
"My work with birds evolved because I think of them as one of the most beautiful creatures. So precious, so fragile and yet so animated and positively bursting with life. Each piece develops its own character which is told through the twist of its head or its own individual stance. My work centres on animals because they give me comfort, they are truly heart warming, they make me smile…and that is the same reaction I hope to evoke in others." Abigail Brown
On show: Sian's Magnetic Wallpaper and Wick Vic's final robbery animation.
This is a story about a bear, named Wick Vic, who wishes to look beautiful by adorning himself with colourful patterns. He lives in the woods and often robs people and their traveling companions of their colourful attire. This time, however, he had met someone less willing to part with her chicken's feathers. The heroine's mood swings from being shocked by the unexpected robbery, which is then transformed to an acceptance of it and later to sadness. It is this absolute sadness, where she had nothing to loose that gave her the strength to find Wick Vic, place a blanket over him, shake him and break him into parts. The story ends with Wick Vic broken, the chicken and the girl leave the forest, just like the way they came.

(Reuters) - Piraeus Bank SA
Piraeus has hired Deutsche Bank AG and Barclays PLC to advise on the listing, which could raise about 200 million euros ($270 million) to 300 million euros, the newspaper reported. (http://link.reuters.com/ras43v)
Piraeus will try to retain 10 percent to 20 percent of Geniki for the time being, the FT said.
Piraeus bought the smaller lender from France's Societe Generale
It said this month that 12 percent of its workforce had signed up for voluntary redundancy, as it tries to reduce costs following recent acquisitions.
Piraeus was profitable in the first half of this year thanks to one-off gains on the book value of its Cypriot banking operations, which camouflaged the effect of bad loans brought about by recession in Greece.
The bank was not immediately available for comment. Deutsche Bank and Barclays could not be reached outside regular business hours.

Most unfortunate thing about the World Series: In modern baseball's 106th season, the Cardinals have passed the Athletics for second on the all-time list, 10 world championships to nine.
Most enjoyable thing: The irritation of Angels fans, watching their castoff Jeff Weaver win the last game as his kid brother wears Cardinals gear, David Eckstein be chosen as MVP, Jim Edmonds have a great series, Scott Spiezio stroke his funny red goatee.
Four strong American League teams entered the playoffs, and all looked absolutely awful in one series each. We knew before the playoffs began that the Yankees and Twins didn't have much pitching depth and that the A's hitting was suspect. But who would have guessed that the fielding of the Tigers' pitchers would fall apart?
Still think the AL is superior and that the DH is a good rule, allowing the best hitters like Frank Thomas to show off their skills longer. If Barry Bonds moved over to the AL — the Blue Jays might be a good fit — he'd obliterate Aaron's record. No love lost here for him, but can't agree with critics who want to take the player with the greatest batting eye we'll ever see and shove him to the exit.
On the subject of exits, the last weekend in October always marks a bittersweet ending. Fine dry Indian summer days, fall colors, but no more baseball, no more daylight saving time, only a few more backyard tomatoes, the nighttime chill upon us, the cheering bougainvillea about to lose its bloom.
It's here to remind us, perhaps, that our seasons too are numbered.

Builders and Contractors are you doing anything different in these hard times to increase your business? Or are you doing the same ole same ole? There is an old saying that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result?
Is that you?
What I'm trying to say is the old ways no longer work. In by gone days all a contractor had to do was give the customer good quality and good service and he/she would be set. Then set back and let your customers do your selling for you. They would tell a friend and then that friend would tell a friend. Your phone would be ringing off the hook. I remember as an Architectural designer some days I would have up to four people wanting to schedule appointments for designs. That was the good ole days. But now!
There are problems. Most of us in the construction industry we're not prepared for what happened. We never marketed ourselves,
never had to. So what do we do. Answer: start by doing the basics. Below are a few simple but powerful must does marketing.
*You must Brand your name. That means you have to become known in your town. Think of insurance company's. There might be
50 insurance company's in your area but there is always a few that are known by name. Example: "All Davis, State farm" see what I
mean, make your name synonymous with building.
*Become easier to find. "The phone never rings",boo hoo hoo. Well why would it? Customers don't mysteriously know who you are
or what you do. If they are looking for your service they will use the internet to find you. You have to have a Website.
*Easy payments. This day and time credit still is king! You have to have the ability to get customers financed or at the very least take credit cards. It is just the way the world does business.
The above are just a few of the things you have to be doing to survive in the building industry. As you can see they are not hard but you do have to take action.
If you would like more tip's and help you can follow my news letter the Construction Times

It's Good to Dream
Ii dream of this man
who I don't have to tell anything to
he instinctively knows
I don't have to explain my ins and outs
as he trust me
he is loyal and honest and fair
he is witty and lovable
and desirable
he is all knowing he can talk for hours about nothing much and everything important
he is able, keen, willing, open
he has manners he is courteous
he is even tempered
he is not stubborn
he is deep
he is spiritual
he is understanding
he is nowhere to be found!!!!
I consider myself extremely lucky. I had to go through two before he just "popped" into my life when I wasn't looking :).
I had that man until he passed and the chances of finding another one "in my eyes" would be next to impossible :(.
Identitytwo, that is an awesome answer! My friend was telling me one day that I wasn't suppose to have feelings for a friend, because then it will make everything complicated. I think she meant more then what she said. Because now that i look back, I can pinpoint evidence of where this may be true. If you lose your lover, you lose your friendship, and ally.

But if you can plan your strategy correctly, who says you can't have multiple people playing each role?
I believe we all need a friend, an ally, and a lover. I further believe that these roles can't not be filled by the same individuals, that in various circumstances the roles would conflict.

Your ally always 'has your back', but your friend will be direct an honest with you. And your lover, would be apart of an 'us' perspective, you are sharing the circumstances and resulting experiences, if you make a wrong turn your lover is lost with you.

Being divorced myself, I wouldn't recommend trying to combine these roles.
Keep dreaming and I will, too. I know there are good guys out there. Just not in MY neighborhood lol!
whew,, gasp,, ya count me in,, john in colo

Gallery: How The Best Mapo Tofu is Made
Mapo Do Fu
Silken tofu flavored with beef and fermented chilis in a slick of chili oil dusted with Sichuan pepper.
Having all of your ingredients ready to go is essential for a good stir-fry. Here Chef Zhang has beef, his aromatics, and tofu ready to go. The sauces and other condiments are to his left.
Flavor the oil
The first step is to flavor the cooking oil with Sichuan peppercorns to help start building up layers of flavor early on.
After straining the peppercorns out, the beef gets cooked in the flavored oil.
Several sauces are added, including soy sauce, chili bean paste, Chinese rice wine, and a slurry of cornstarch and water.
Par-cook Tofu
The tofu is boiled separately for just a minute or two to heat it up before adding to the sauce.
After adding the tofu, everything is simmered together for just a minute while Chef Zhang carefully folds the tofu in to coat it without breaking the delicate curds.
It's addictively good. Spicy, aromatic, and soul-satisfying stuff.

LAS VEGAS --- Floyd Mayweather was put to the test like never before and he pulled out a 12-round majority decision over Marcos "El Chino" Maidana.
"Tonight I wanted to fight and give the fans their money's worth," Mayweather said.
There was speculation that this could be Mayweather's last fight, but he said he would grant Maidana a rematch.
"If the fans want to see it again, we'll do it again," Mayweather said.
Maidana believes he won the fight and he had different view of a rematch.
"Yes, I would give him a rematch," Maidana said.

There are a lot of people realizing they can actually invest their money to watch it grow, yet few take initiative or know where to begin. Careless investments made with little or no preparation typically yield minimal or negative results. The advice and suggestions presented in this article can help you be better prepared to make wise investment decisions and get better results.
Before investing in the stock market, learn how to invest. Prior to investing in the stock market take the time to study the inner workings of trading and investing. If it's possible, you should keep an eye on the movement trends over a three-year periods, using historical data for past years as you see fit. This gives you the ability to make sound decisions, leading to greater returns.
Keep in mind that stocks are more than pieces of paper used for trading purposes. If you own a stock, you actually own a small part of the company, and you should take that investment seriously. You are granted a rite to earnings and a claim on assets by virtue of owning a company's stock. Voting privileges are sometimes granted by stock ownership.
Prior to committing to any brokerage firm, or placing an investment with a trader, make sure you how much they will be charging you in fees. Look at all the fees, including entry fees and exit fees, which are often overlooked. These may add up quickly over time.
Do not forget to exercise your right to vote if you happen to own common stocks. Your vote can impact leadership of the company, or decisions regarding big changes like mergers. Voting can be done at the yearly shareholders' meeting or by proxy voting through the mail.
Hopefully you have now gained more knowledge regarding the inner workings of stock market investments. You're now ready to start considering your first stock investments. Just keep in mind, that it takes risks in order to be successful, so apply all of your knowledge to the best of your ability and learn as you progress and you should have success with ease.

Anyone else dislike thinning?
I've been thinning my carrots and really dislike deciding who lives and who dies. I don't mind the actual work, but I feel so bad for the carrots that aren't going to have a chance to mature.
When you have a special needs child, it is like floating in the ocean. You will have highs when you ride the top of the wave and move forward and lows when the wave crashes over you and sucks you back. As you are riding a low wave of sadness, frustration & disappointment, just keep in mind the next wave will take you back up and move you forward once more.

"Annoying narration"
Get rid of the stupid accents that the narrator tries to put on
The narrator was majorly annoying. I never review books (although I should because I read and listen to so many). For me the content of this book was excellent but I found myself cringing when the narrator read quotes from people whose first language is not english. Sorry to say but its sounded like some wannabe impressionist. Honestly it was pathetic
Good book but I will not recommend the audio version to anybody because of the narration

Chalk it up to talent
It's a Tuesday evening in Balfour-Hood Center. There is a quiet hum of students meeting in the cafe, and music drifts up from the dance studio downstairs. In front of the chalkboard near the entrance of the building, Emerald Bresnahan '15 starts to set up her laptop and a few plastic buckets of big colored chalks. She carefully sorts through the colors, looking for just the right one, and then stands on a chair and lightly grids out the board in white.
Glancing at reference images on her computer, Bresnahan begins to draw. Sometimes she stands on her toes to reach all of areas of the chalkboard. Her marks are big. They have to be—they need to cover a board that is nearly six feet tall and captures an entire week of campus activities in words and images.
She is a work/study art intern in the Office of Student Activities, Involvement and Leadership (SAIL) this year, along with Lily Allen '17.
Each week, the two artists receive a list of campus happenings and each student designs one of the campus event chalkboards in the Balfour-Hood and the Diana Davis '60 Spencer Café. Sometimes they spend up to six hours to complete their temporary creations.
The results are striking, and, if you take a closer look, often surprisingly detailed.
"On one of my board's, there was a musical staff connecting two music events that contained excerpts from Debussy's piano piece 'Rêverie,'" Bresnahan says,
The large size of the boards presents both a challenge and freedom, encouraging the artists to really develop their drawing technique and sense of composition.
"I really like that I have room to work big," Allen says. "It's hard at first to adjust to the size of the chalkboard because you need to step back a lot and check how things actually look when they're not right in front of your face."
She explains that the medium itself can also present a challenge: drawing with light colors on a dark background is the opposite of drawing with graphite on light paper. The artists must carefully consider how to use the positive and negative space to create shadows and highlights.
Allen, a studio art major and Russian literature minor, has been drawing for as long as she can remember, and plans to pursue a career as an artist.
Bresnahan, a physics major with minors in astronomy and math, is always jotting down ideas for artful creations inspired by the sciences. As she's working on the chalkboard, friends walking by stop to chat every now and then. Seeing the reactions of passers-by is a big part of what makes the work satisfying for her.
"What I enjoy most about this job is that others get to enjoy my work," she says, "and the fact that the events of different groups at Wheaton are celebrated and promoted."—Elizabeth Meyer '14

Cano, who said he was drunk, got into the back seat of the light-colored Chevrolet Suburban with six occupants.
He said the driver stopped after going only a block. He told police the occupants pulled him from the vehicle, beat him and stole his leather jacket, shoes and cash.
He was left by the side of the road. Cano called police but officers could not find the attackers.

Harpo the Family Man
My dad never really had a "first childhood." Despite his adventures, life in 179 East 93rd Street was pretty brutal. The family never had any money and there were always too many relatives... and mouths... to feed.
When my Dad got a little older, he was running across country with his brothers, staying in fleabag hotels and traveling in rickety railroad cars in vaudeville. Often he'd perform for audiences that were happy to laugh at him onstage... and happy to discriminate against him offstage. (Not only were he and his brothers lowly actors... they were also Jewish at a time when anti-Semitism was the rule, not the exception.)
By the time he settled down with my mom and started raising a family, he was in his fifties and financially secure enough not to have to work every day. And so he spent a lot of his time playing with... and getting to know... his kids. And this became his "second childhood."
My dad was the most child-like adult I've ever known. Not "child-ish" - an unattractive quality that suggests a certain selfish insensitivity. That wasn't Dad at all. No, he took the world in the way a child does - with lots of wonder and very little judgment.... with the delight of someone for whom everything is new and delightful. The great comedy parodist of song, Allan Sherman, wrote in his autobiography, A GIFT OF LAUGHTER, "Harpo Marx had the good sense to never grow up".
Dad once told a friend he wanted to have as many kids as he had front windows in our house on Canon Drive in Beverly Hills... so that he could see them waiving at them when he got home from work. It's still a nice image.
My mom remembers waking up one night to find herself alone in bed. She searched the house to find out where my dad was. She looked into my 4-year-old sister, Minnie's room and found him in there, on the floor, playing jacks with her. He had insomnia, needed some action and decided to wake her up and play with her. (Despite the fact that it was 3 in the morning, she was delighted.)
In Dad's autobiography, HARPO SPEAKS, he mentions a list of rules we Marxes lived by. It wasn't a gag - Dad really did live by those rules and expected us to do the same. It wasn't that hard - his rules were all about being true to yourself and doing what was best for yourself. My Mom, my brothers, my sister and I, we learned so much from him. Not stuff he taught us - but stuff we learned by watching how he lived.
We only had him for a short time - I was 27 when he died and I'm the oldest - but the impression he made is still as strong now as it was when I was a kid and he and Mom were my whole world.
|Harpo Marx Family Rules
|1 Life has been created for you to enjoy, but you won't enjoy it unless you pay for it with some good, hard work. This is one price that will never be marked down.
|2 You can work at whatever you want to as long as you do it as well as you can and clean up afterwards and you're at the table at mealtime and in bed at bedtime.
|3 Respect what the others do. Respect Dad's harp, Mom's paints, Billy's piano, Alex's set of tools, Jimmy's designs, and Minnie's menagerie.
|4 If anything makes you sore, come out with it. Maybe the rest of us are itching for a fight, too.
|5 If anything strikes you as funny, out with that, too. Let's all the rest of us have a laugh.
|6 If you have an impulse to do something that you're not sure is right, go ahead and do it. Take a chance. Chances are, if you don't you'll regret it - unless you break the rules about mealtime and bedtime, in which case you'll sure as hell regret it.
|7 If it's a question of whether to do what's fun or what is supposed to be good for you, and nobody is hurt whichever you do, always do what's fun.
|8 If things get too much for you and you feel the whole world's against you, go stand on your head. If you can think of anything crazier to do, do it.
|9 Don't worry about what other people think. The only person in the world important enough to conform to is yourself.
|10 Anybody who mistreats a pet or breaks a pool cue is docked a months pay.

The Essentials of Political Analysis
CQ Press, 2005 - Political Science - 227 pages
Providing a strong conceptual foundation, The Essentials of Political Analysis walks students through the basics of measuring concepts, formulating and testing hypotheses, and describing variables. The author's engaging and straightforward prose clearly introduces key terms and concepts while chapter-opening objectives cue students to learning goals. Over eighty tables and figures enhance important textual material. Class-tested chapter exercises promote skill application and aid student review. Fans of Pollock's practical introduction to the methods course will appreciate the second edition's many improvements, from more comparative and international material to a brand new chapter on logistic regression. Introducing students to one of the discipline's most widely used statistical tools, students learn the logic of logistic regression, maximum likelihood estimation and how to convert logic into probabilities.

Pricing solutions required for Health insurance industry
The required health care cover for all citizens in Dubai has come into effect in its initial point. Though it has some way to go in covering all categories of employees, based on the slab structure of companies vis-à-vis their employee strength, the most important aspect of this issue is the viability for insurance companies to elasticise their various packages and premiums. This degree of versatility in insurance coverage is what will drive the effectiveness of the coverage-for-all objective of the Dubai government, Gulf News reported. Given that there are companies that employ in great numbers and others who have less than a 100 staff, the varying costs of insurance need to be factored in for all stakeholders. This is an aspect the insurance industry is considering from all angles as it formulates its pricing strategy. Once the coverage gathers mass and more people enter the fray, it will become clear to everyone how these strategies must be devised so as to cover all.

Intel slashes desktop processor prices
Cheaper PCs ahoy!
Posted in Personal Tech, 24th April 2007 07:30 GMT
Intel pruned its processor prices earlier this week, as anticipated. The cuts include knocking 38 per cent off the price of the Core 2 Quad and up to 40 per cent off Core 2 Duo CPUs.
Intel also reduced what it charges for its remaining Pentium D chips - remember them? - by as much as 37 per cent.
The price cuts centred on the chip giant's desktop products - mobile Core 2 Duo prices remained unchanged, for example, though a couple of Celeron Ms are now cheaper to buy than they were last week.
But don't forget the mobile Core 2 Duo line is due for a major revamp early next month when Intel debuts 'Santa Rosa', the next generation of its Centrino platform.

6 Dec 3:48 am
There is a man covered in mud from his bald head to his bare feet, walking towards and waving at my brother, Derek, unaware that he is unrecognizable. Until he and Derek arrive at the same house, A__'s house, then Derek realizes that this is A__'s father who had fought against, swum under, and finally just gave himself up to the muddy ocean that had engulfed his house, his neighborhood, his entire village.
There are two girls, who pass them by, walking barefoot but briskly, their faces streaked with dirty tears, their eyes scared, their bodies rigid. There are many others walking, walking, walking, and picking up pieces from the debris, and then walking some more. My sister, Aimee, and her husband are among them, as they try to get to her husband's family in a subdivision close to the sea. There is a woman, they say, who is not walking, she is just standing, in the middle of the street, while people walk by her in a daze. She is wailing, damo'n patay, damo hin duro an patay! When they get to the subdivision, there are indeed bodies being moved from the streets to the small chapel. One of the casualties is our dear uncle, a cousin and very good friend to our dad.
There is a woman on the side of the street, but she is not wailing, not moving, not walking. She is lying on her back. She has extraordinarily thin arms and legs, and a very swollen belly. People cover their nose and mouth when they pass her, but they do not cover their eyes. This is one of the first sights we see, when my husband and I arrive in Tacloban City.
There is a child frozen in the act of crawling out of a shelf or a cabinet. His body is upside down, his head is twisted unnaturally to the side, and one hand is missing. There are dogs, many dogs, sniffing the rubble and debris for their masters, or for food, and one of them walks away with a child's hand between his fangs.
There are men walking out of the mall, helping each other carry an exercise machine, a freezer, a 50-plus-inch led TV screen. There is a woman carrying a mannequin all by herself, and a family of three in Santa hats merrily walking down the street with a shopping cart full of nothing but canned baby formula milk. There are others who scavenge for clothes, my brother Dennis tells us, and they come out of the department store dressed as super heroes and villains, Spider Man, Super Man,and Penguin.
There is a rumor going around, said a friend of ours whose family is taking shelter in our house : Tacloban is gone. Strong winds had sucked out the entire bay and threw it all up very violently onto streets,houses, offices, churches, hospitals, schools, restaurants, hotels. There is another rumor: It will all happen again very soon, and the waves will be much higher, the current stronger and even more ferocious this time.
There are suddenly even more people on the streets, running as fast as they can to the hills, to the hills! By evening, there is a sight no one has ever seen – the mountains are illuminated from the foot to the peak with people's flash lights, candles, torches.
There is still, for all intents and purposes, a house. There is no roof, no ceiling, no windows, no book shelves or books, but there is still a winding staircase with elaborate balusters and steps made from dark hard wood slabs on which the rainwater cascades like grand waterfalls when itrains. And there is a black granite floor that collects the water into many puddles the kids like to trample and splash on.
There is a room on the ground floor where the family used to congregate every night when the parents were still alive. It is now being slept in by strangers who have traveled from distant lands – Iran, Israel, America,Bolivia, South Africa – to clear the streets, feed the hungry, slowly revive the city.
There are two old trees that used to partly hide the house from the street with its thick foliage, birds' nests, and intricate branches reaching into the balcony. They are now leafless and branchless, and nestless. The barks have been peeled off and, at night, under a bright moon, the trunks look like the ghosts of two pale, old men stranded between this world and another.
There are firelies all of a sudden, and crickets, but no birds, my sister-in-law, Debbie, notices.
There is a rumor about that other rumor, Dennis tells the strangers who have become friends and family to us now. The city mayor's daughter, Chona May, had been washed away and her mother, the beautiful city councilor who used to be a movie starlet, had screamed and screamed: "Chona May! Chona May!" Her screams pierced the silence and absolute darkness of the evening, waking people in San Jose from their nightmares. "Chunami daw, chunami!" And that's how everyone suddenly scrambled to their feet, fled out of the city and into the hills, in fear of a chunami or tsunami.
There is a truth and there is a lie, my brother says. The mayor's daughter did not really perish, and he doesn't even have a daughter named Chona May, but it is true that his beautiful wife is the city councilor and she did used to be a star.
There are people who do not like this joke, but some people laugh, for the first time, and a little of the old sparkle return briefly to their weary eyes.
(With reports from Dennis, Derek, Aimee, Dandee, Debbie, William, and random friends and strangers in Tacloban)

Did you know that smartphones can be sinful? And sometimes, tablets can be tasty? That's right, for every fitness app out there that helps us lose weight, and for every news app that keeps us more informed, there are alternatives available that cater to our less disciplined selves. Whether you are looking for the best cupcake recipe or want to keep up with all the celebrity news and gossip, there are mobile apps that provide gluttonous and mindless indulgences. Here are five of our favorites.
Food Network Cupcakes! (iPad $2.99)
This brand new app from The Food Network is exactly what its name suggests, and more. Inspired by the popular show "Cupcake Wars," this app showcases more than 100 different types of cupcakes and includes recipes, illustrations and cooking tips. The only pertinent information that Cupcakes! seems to be lacking (thank goodness!) are calorie counts. The app has extensive breakdowns available for every genre of cupcake, from "Go-To" (Vanilla, Chocolate, Swirled) to "Cupcakes for Dinner," which includes recipes for Chicken Pot Pie Cupcakes and Corn Dog Cupcakes (a "Blue-ribbon treat"). Cupcakes! also includes a recipe index where you can choose recipe selections from Food Network personalities like Rachael Ray and Paula Deen. Hungry yet?

Houlihan's - Champaign Ratings and Reviews
Stuff off us went to celebrate my birthday. I has signed up for their club and receive a birthday coupon for $15 off. Told the waiter at start of meal. Gave the coupon to him at the end of the meal. He took it but came back and said he couldn't take it because I bought from their special "Restaurant Week" menu. Nothing on the coupon says it can't be used for that and the waiter hasn't been told that advance. Two of us each got the $29 special dinner to celebrate, which is at least $10 more per person than we would have spent if we ordered off their regular menu, and they wouldn't honor their coupon. OUTRAGEOUS! They're solution was to handwrite on the printed copy of the coupon "to be used at a later date." So in order to use the $15 off birthday coupon, were out the cost of an expensive meal tonight and I would have to go back and try again. That's certainly a win for them. Pretty sure I'll meet be cashing that in. The general manager never even came to talk to me himself--just relayed messages through the other staff. You really know how to make a birthday girl feel special!
Food was excellent with the exception of the "Holy Grail of Bacon" which was just chunks of pig fat. I was so disappointed with the appetizer that I wanted to send it back but I didn't. Rest of the meal was good. Their service has never been very good in the 3 years I've been going there and this was no exception...just no attention to detail and even had one of those "did they go on break?" moments. If they can get the service under control this would be a great place.
We went to Houlihan's for my birthday. One of the things I was surprised that they don't give you any kind of bread before or during the meal. Our server was efficient but not very friendly. The food was very good but I was surprised that the server offer water at the end of our meal as opposed to the beginning of the meal, again she seemed seemed off. Would definitely try to it again because the food was good. Hopefully we will get another server who is a bit more pleasant and friendly.
We came because it is close to State Farm center. We had 1 hr and 15 min before our show. Our waiter took forever to come to our table and then ran away without without mentioning anything on the menu to get water. Was gone for another 15 min. By the time he came back we had to order drinks and food together and that took another 30 min just to get some salads. Food was comparable to Applebee's or chilies. As soon as the food came out we had to get the check. Thought it would be better because the restaurant is fairly nice. The service was worse than the food but I doubt we'll come back.
After 12 hours on interstates, this Houlans and I Hotel Hotel and Conference center in the midst of a lovely large office Park is the perfect respite. This is our second year visiting and we treasure our time here. The staff could not be more thoughtful and gracious!! We would go out of our way to visit here again!
This was a dinner celebrating graduation so the restaurant was busy but there were so many open tables that I found it hard to believe that there was a reason for the delays. It took 15 minutes for our server to get to us and then the appetizer took 25 minutes to come out and only came out when we reminded the server. Then when the entree finally came out the food was not hot and the orders were wrong.
Great food and service!
Only downside is other diners were really noisy and loud. We could barely hear our guests talk. This has happened several other times too. If there are tables of kids after sporting events-we'll go elsewhere.
Still remains one of our fav places to go!
My friend and I visited Houlihan's prior to attending the Garth Brooks concert. It was the perfect place to eat, grab a couple of drinks, and catch up with each other before the event. The appetizers we ordered were a very generous helping each; try the cheese-filled mushrooms, they are excellent! The service was a little slow, but that was expected with such a large crowd drawn for the concert. With the restaurant located right across the street from State Farm Center, this was the perfect place for pre-concert festivities.
We probably came on the wrong night to get the very best experience. Garth Brooks was in town and the place was insanely packed, it was the Saturday he had the double concerts so they got hit before the first, before the second and again after the first. We got in right as the 2nd concert group was leaving, and honestly the bar area looked a hot mess. Once I got to the hostess stand, everyone looked like they had just survived battle. I've worked at a bar near a concert venue so I feel there pain, and being the only restaurant in walking distance ... I understand why they were extremely busy. Once we got seated, everything was fine. You could tell our server was stressed from what she just went through so we assured her that we were not concert goers and in no rush, nor are we the needy type. We got our drinks in a timely manner, as a wine drinker I appreciate that they offer a 9 oz pour. My date had a Stella and it was served in the Stella glass, which he really liked. We started with the Spicy Chicken & Avocado Egg Rolls, and I definitely highly recommend them. The salsa it is served with on the side was one of the best I have tasted. We both had a house salad with the ranch dressing on the side. The ranch is definitely housemade and made well, it's unique and flavorful. I had the Grilled Korean Chicken, it was delicious. It definitely packs a punch of heat but our server kindly told me before I ordered. I will definitely order again. My date had the 9 oz Sirloin with the honest gold mashed potatoes and green beans. Both sides were great but the mashed potatoes really stood out, his steak was cooked perfectly as well. Overall, we will definitely be back. An app, side salads, two entrees and two drinks each we were out the for around $100 ... which we found worth the value. However, you can definitely be out for way less as the menu features many different price points. Join their email club, they send great offers!
My wives food was cold when she got it and was not sure the chicken was done either. When I informed the waiter, he promptly apologized and asked if she wanted another one. When my wife said no, he said he would inform the manager and have that meal taken off the bill. Also provided free desert. We appreciated this!
Chose this spot before a big concert at State Farm Center right across the street. The ability to make online reservations in advance was amazing! We walked in to a crowded waiting area and were seated immediately. Service, especially on such a busy night, was exceptional. Our server was very attentive, checked on us frequently, and provided drink refills very timely. Wide menu selection. Our food was delicious as well. Would absolutely come here again, anytime we are in town for an event. Wonderful!
Late lunch for mothers weekend with my son. I had to tell them that I had reservations, they did not ask. I was addressed by my first name and it was pronounced wrong. Maybe understaffed because the person that seated us seamed to be waiting tables as well and seemed flustered. He kept his composure. When our waitress came over to offer another beverage for my son, she came over with the soda can, opened it at the table and it splashed in him. Food seemed fresh and was flavorful.
Stopped in for a quick bite to eat with some friends before going to the U of I basketball game. We were able to get in and out in less than an hour. My wife loved the SPIRALIZED BUTTERNUT SQUASH & SAUSAGE LASAGNA, spiralized butternut squash and sausage lasanga, I had the fish and chips which were nothing spectatular. Good service, friendly waitress and good value. My only negative was you had to pay $10 to park because it was game day, yet given Houlihan's proximity to the stadium I undersand.
Stopped here before an Illini game for a quick bite. Ordered the mushrooms (very good), cubano eggrolls (good but didn't think salsa went with this item), and lettuce wraps (good with a bit of a kick). Didn't like that they brought out our soup first, quickly followed by the appetizers when we asked for the soup first and appetizers later on. Oh well. The menu is very extensive with many items I believe I would have liked, but we just wanted a quick bite so stuck with the appetizers.
We had dinner with a group before a U of I basketball game. I was amazed how the staff was able to serve a full house in such a timely manner to get everyone served before the game. The staff was operating at "full speed" to get the job done!! The filet magnon that my husband and I shared was fantastic--very tender and tasty!!
After the game, we stopped in for a small snack to take to our room. We were helped very quickly and had just a short wait for the take out! Congrats to the entire staff!!
Very well run restaurant!!
Visited prior to an Illinois basketball game - paid $10 to park and eat. Good location and easy walk. Service was good. We were seated at a table for 10 and only had 6 people. When asked if we would consider splitting table, we said of course - manager gave us a round of beers on the house! Food was solid. Beer cold.
I took a co-worker here for her birthday lunch. The staff was great to take our order early since we only had an hour to eat and had it ready on the table soon after we arrived. They have a choice of great drinks and the food has been great every time I have dined here.

SAN DIEGO — Making adjustments — it's become the name of the game for head coach Norv Turner amidst a tumultuous season that has seen the Chargers go from first to tied-for-last in their division in a matter of six weeks.
This game of making adjustments has challenged Turner's coaching skills even more than in years' past.
"Every season there's a challenge; every week there's a challenge," Turner said. "But yeah, I mean obviously a week ago, getting ready to go play Chicago and knowing where we were in terms of our personality, yeah, you're looking for every little thing you can do to give you a chance to be competitive in a game."
In preparation for the game against Denver, Turner spent time watching film of the Broncos pass rush, keeping in mind his newly acquainted offensive line.
"You spend a little extra time saying, 'How are we going to find a way to block this guy and still get someone out and still find some way to make some plays and give Philip (Rivers) enough time and give him a comfort level to be successful?'"
What it's come down to is finding matchups and putting players in a position where they can win and, not ask them to do things they're not capable of doing, Turner said. "Those are things that certainly go in to every one of those decisions. And sometimes it doesn't look the best, but certainly it's with intent of doing what's best to give our players a chance to be successful."
But after Sunday's overtime loss to Denver 16-13, prolonging a six game losing streak and all but eliminating the Chargers from any postseason play, it seems no amount of coaching by Turner can quell fans' anger and calls for his firing.
"It's not something that is going to be an issue for me," Turner said. "And I'm not going to talk a lot about it over the next five weeks, as I said, I've been doing this a long time and I do know how to go about preparing for a game. We've gotten our guys prepared and that's going to be our goal, to keep getting them prepared."
Turner added during Monday's press conference that he wasn't oblivious to calls for his dismissal, but said that he hasn't spoke to team President Dean Spanos or General Manager A.J. Smith about any decisions. "I don't think it's an issue right now, and I'm sure it's something that when we're through with the season, it'll be handled."
For the Chargers, whose season began with the theme of overcoming adversity, the next five games in as many weeks will never be more trying as they struggle to snap their losing streak, with hopes of securing a playoff spot.
The Chargers will head to Jacksonville, Fla. for Monday Night Football to take on another reeling team in the Jaguars, who fired their head coach Jack Del Rio, Tuesday.
SAN DIEGO — Making adjustments — it's become the name of the game for head coach Norv Turner amidst a tumultuous season that has seen the Chargers go from first to tied-for-last in their division in a matter of six weeks.

EXCLUSIVE - Scream Queens 2 Set Visit Report, Pt 2 of 2
If you've read Part One of our Scream Queens exclusive inside peek then you already know why the would-be queens are screaming. (And if you haven't, here is the link)
As the season has progressed, the competition's getting tougher and tougher. Which means the not tough-enough are getting "the ax" and going home. SPOILER ALERT: This week it was the single mom, Sarah — and I have to say, she handled her exit with grace and dignity (must have been genuine, because we've all seen her acting skills!). In the beginning of the episode, early front-runner Gabby was completely psyched out over the judges' recent critiques of her not hitting her marks and missing beats. She was supposed to be a zombie rising from a grave, walking to a nearby mark on the ground, and reacting as squibs explode off her. Now, anybody would be anticipatory about something like that, especially if they had never done it before, but Gabby's glances towards her mark were really pronounced!
While my favorite episode is still last week's (guest star Debbie Rochon showed the ladies how to be sexy and scary on Snake Charmers), this one was pretty good, too. It was about bringing out elements of comedy and camp in horror — which is definitely in the wheelhouse of Scream Queens resident director and co-judge, Tim Sullivan. He directed the women in their first-ever scene playing different roles with each other (in previous episodes, it's been each with their own take on the same role, one after another).
But before Tim could shout "Action!" the remaining contestants were put through their comedic improv paces by resident acting coach and co-judge John Homa. John was assisted in class by special guest Joe Wengert of the Upright Citizen's Brigade. The girls were given unscripted scenarios to play out in pairs — a werewolf and a taco stand attendant, a zombie and a meter maid, and a mummy and bridal gown fitter — and were asked to show how a comedy of errors might occur in the set-ups. No one was successful. The mini movie trailer scene, directed by Tim on the Universal Studios Lot, was slightly more successful... but overall no one really stood out in this episode. Judging from the scenes for next week, looks like we'll be witnessing a catfight between Tai and Gabby.

Interview from the Scream Queens TV set - Part 2 of 2
Joke Fincioen: It is an acting competition first- that's why the horror genre lends itself so well. We are hitting all of these different things- all of these different emotions- by adding little stuff here and there.
Staci Wilson: So, between season one and now, is there a different dynamic between the girls? Is it very competitive, or is there more of a camaraderie?
Biagio Messina: Every cast has its own personality. I would say that this season's cast is even more competitive. I think they're more vocal about their talent- each girl believes that she really deserves to be here, and isn't afraid to say so- but in the best kind of way.
Joke Fincioen: Last season, there were a couple of fights that had to do with race or dishes, and that's just stress from them living together in a small environment. There is one bathroom and one shower for ten girls.
Tim Sullivan: They have to do their own hair and makeup.
Joke Fincioen: They have to do their own hair and makeup, they have to do their own dishes, they have to do their own laundry. It's like a sorority- ten people living closely, in a bubble with no Internet, no radio, and no television, no magazines, no books, no music…
Biagio Messina: It's not intended to create drama.
Tim Sullivan: They are not allowed to connect with the outside world. They're not allowed to even know what is going on.
Staci Wilson: For how long?
Joke Fincioen: For the entire time that they're here. The two girls that are still left here [as of the filming of the final episode, when horror.com was on set] have no idea.
Biagio Messina: Four weeks.
Tim Sullivan: Last season, they were here during the Presidential election. They didn't know Obama won.
Staci Wilson: Oh, wow, that would've been tough.
Joke Fincioen: Kind of really fun. I would say that this season, there are less petty arguments, and it's much more competitive.
Staci Wilson: So it has stepped up a bit, on the level of acting?
Biagio Messina: I think season one helps to buy us a lot of credibility, because Tanedra Howard was a really great actress who was undiscovered. Mark Burg loved her, and he has already announced that she is going to be in the next Saw as well. She had a great role- she did awesome. Was that an official press release?
Joke Fincioen: He said it was on the down-low, but it was on IMDb.
Staci Wilson: Well, then hey, it's gospel.
photo (c) John Sampson
Biagio Messina: I think just the fact that people saw that we have fun with horror [is important.] Like, last season they had to do a scene with thousands of cockroaches. In The Descent there was also a scene set in a giant pool of blood. They're real things that they need to deal with in the horror genre- that also happened to be TV friendly. It was never like "okay, we were going to do this, because it's good for TV." It always came from a place that this was something you were potentially going to have to eventually deal with in a horror movie.
Tim Sullivan: We're always referencing other movies to the girls. Like, "think The Entity or Poltergeist." We've shot in cool places- one of the places that we've shot was the house where Rob Zombie shot Halloween, and it was so awesome because it was across the street from the house of People Under the Stairs, which was so distinctive.
Staci Wilson: Have you found that most of the ladies were horror fans to begin with?
Tim Sullivan: When I would say "hey, this is where Rob Zombie sat all day," they would go "oh," and be all excited- so, yeah, they seemed pretty knowledgeable.
Biagio Messina: I think that the girls were very smart this season, and I would say the ones who were actresses were able to appreciate how hard the horror genre was, and that was part of the reason that they got cast. I think that a lot of them really did their homework before they came- I can't tell you how knowledgeable they were before the audition.
Tim Sullivan: One thing that always bothered me when I watched the first season was when Michael Rooker was a guest, and they showed some of the testimonials like, the girls were like, "I'm supposed to know who this guy is?"
Joke Fincioen: That just means that they are older- because these girls weren't even running around in that timeline.
Tim Sullivan: But, still, if they knew that James Gunn was the host and hadn't seen Slither… Rooker's the star. Ya want to be a SCREAM QUEEN, do your fucking homework.
Staci Wilson: But they didn't know who the host was until they showed up.
Tim Sullivan: That's true. But if you're into horror, and want to work in horror, as far as I am concerned, you kind of have to know who Michael Rooker is- and I think that the girls this season do know their stuff a lot more, which was great. That was important to us.
Staci Wilson: [Looking at the set] This is fantastic, I love this.
photo (c) John Sampson
Biagio Messina: We built this cool little saw table. And then we've got the axe in the table, but it's dressed with flowers. There's just, like, neat little touches. He did a good job of stretching the budget and getting us stuff that we couldn't afford. Ansell wants to hire this guy to decorate his house. Kenny is a true designer, and he talks about a horror movie and goes "okay, how can I make that work for reality TV?" What you're not seeing here is the actual pictures of the girls. They have this sort of Marquee with lights around them and, when a girl gets voted off, the lights go dark.
Tim Sullivan: So they come back here, and that is how they find who got the axe. They see all these faces and know that they could be next. It's not subtle.
Biagio Messina: That's where you know we have to make it fun for TV. Stuff like that is obviously great.
Tim Sullivan: [Indicating a set piece] This is one of the things that just really blew my mind. That could be sold on
Biagio Messina: I think everybody just really embraced how they could bring their craft to this reality show where the prize is a horror movie- and everybody really stepped it up, because we really couldn't afford any of this. There was a lot of favors- a lot of begging. [Indicates the closet] This is the girl's closet, which is partitioned off with cloth- because we didn't really have a closet for that.
Joke Fincioen: You know, a closet for ten girls. They were going to be here for five weeks.
Biagio Messina: Most of this, they built in five hours.
Staci Wilson: It's pretty neat, because it's almost scripted and unscripted together. It's the best of all worlds.
Biagio Messina: Producing reality is the target.
Staci Wilson: If you had to live in any of the horror movies that you have covered over seasons one and two. And you can actually survive, what would be?
Biagio Messina: Well, it would not be Saw- because if we could survive that, we would have less limbs.
Tim Sullivan: That's an interesting question.
photo (c) John Sampson
Biagio Messina: What would I want to survive? Probably- just because I really liked it- The Descent, even though she just ends up being dead in the end.
Joke Fincioen: I would go with Silence of the Lambs.
Biagio Messina: Well, you're very much FBI and inquisitor. I am a cave dweller.
Tim Sullivan: All you need is the laptop.
Biagio Messina: If I had enough battery power. I'm also one of those nerds, who plays text adventure games from the '80s. So, you know, there is
Staci Wilson: Good rationale.

ForeignLadies Online Dating
ForeignLadies is an online personals contacts site mainly aimed at Western men seeking mail order brides. The brides on the site are from a wide range of countries spread across the continents of Asia, Europe and Latin America. ForeignLadies is operated by A Foreign Affair (AFA) – they're also known as LoveMe. Ladies on the site are mostly Russian, Ukrainian, Peruvian, Dominican, Colombian, Chinese and Filipino.
First of all I'll admit I have a little bit of a soft spot for ForeignLadies.com. It was the first website I found when I first looked into the idea of finding an exotic foreign wife. I liked the fact that you can have a look at many ladies from different countries all on the same website. You can also see profiles without having to register first. There are some very beautiful women on this site, although I learned subsequently that many of the photos have been professionall airbrushed.
I must admit that when I first started out searching for an Asian wife, I was completely clueless about the whole thing, so ForeignLadies helped me a great deal. By looking at the ladies on the site I quickly set my heart on Chinese ladies, and I haven't been proven wrong since.
Sadly, ForeignLadies is expensive! ForeignLadies is a letter writing site, which means you pay to send an email to a lady through the site. In fact it's worth pointing out that ForeignLadies is extremely expensive to use. It's a cash cow for the owners, but it will leave you feeling heavily out of pocket. There are also plenty of romance scams that can arise out of this type of site.
Since you're going to have to pay to send a letter to a lady then the costs will quickly mount up. If you're serious about finding a partner who is a really good match for you then you'll have to do a lot of emailing! Here's a rough estimate – since joining Chinese Love Links I contacted around 50 ladies. Of those I corresponded with about 20 of them for 2-3 emails, before narrowing the intial 50 down to 3-4 ladies I really liked. The bill for doing that on ForeignLadies would have been hundreds and maybe thousands of dollars. By contrast a month's membership of Chinese Love Links is around $30.
Other services offered by ForeignLadies include the ability to meet their ladies in person. If you're OK at arranging your own flights and accommodation then this might be worthwhile. At least this service offers the services of a translator to help you communicate with ladies you arrange to meet. But this service is expensive compared to just meeting ladies yourself on one of the flat rate fee international dating services (see below for more alternatives to ForeignLadies).
IMBRA Scam
One thing that makes my blood boil is that ForeignLadies tries to hide behind IMBRA laws. IMBRA are US laws designed to stop foreign mail order brides being treated poorly once they reach the USA. The thing about IMBRA though is that it only applies to US residents. Yet ForeignLadies will just assume that non-US members have to comply with this law. Which is of course nonsense, as the US does not have legal jurisdiction over other nations.
ForeignLadies will quote IMBRA regulations at you in order to prevent you from exchanging contact details with ladies you meet on the site. Why? Because if you know how to contact the lady via email or Skype then you won't need to pay to send emails to her on the ForeignLadies website any more.
So rest assured, ForeignLadies use IMBRA as an excuse to make more money.
Personally I would never use a dating site where I couldn't get the contact details of a lady I met through the site. What if she was a fake lady, or she suddenly got removed from the site? Yes this is a nonsense, so luckily here are some alternatives to ForeignLadies…
Alternatives to ForeignLadies Online Dating
There are a huge number of alternatives to ForeignLadies.
The main issue I have with this site is the cost – letter writing sites are expensive. They're also very susceptible to scams and misleading the men paying for the sites. I don't want to cover this ground again as I've been there (and had my wallet cleaned out) on the Chnlove letter writing site.
Of course the problem with not using a letter writing site is that it can be difficult to communicate with ladies who don't speak any English. Well the solution to this is of course easy – just date the ladies who can speak and write some English. As a British guy I'm also aware that it's now next to impossible to find a foreign bride who speaks no English – you just can't get her a fiancé visa or marriage visa any more.
Thankfully the world has plenty of Asian, Latin and Eastern European ladies who can speak English. You'll most commonly find then on the Cupid Media dating sites – think Russian Euro, Ukraine Date, Chinese Cupid (Chinese Love Links) and Latin American Cupid. Of course it's also easy to find Filipinas with a reasonable standard of English, and Filipino Cupid is a good place to find them.
100% free dating is another possibility. As far as Asian ladies go, Date In Asia is a huge free Asian dating website. Screening the members for scammers, hookers and other crazy ladies takes time, but you can find some very nice Asian women on this site. Find the right lady here and you'll make a huge cost saving compared to using ForeignLadies.com.
Men looking for a bride on a budget should also look at Cherry Blossoms dating for Asian mail order brides and Elena's Models for Russian brides. Both sites have very affordable membership fees.
If you don't like the idea of online dating then a different way of finding a mail order bride is to use LoveMe's romance tour services. LoveMe run regular singles tours of Colombia, Peru, Costa Rica, Russia, Ukraine, China and the Philippines. Do a bit of research before you go and you should be able to meet some of the ForeignLadies girls while you are on the tour.
Online dating is a bit rubbish to be perfectly honest. The No.1 way to find a foreign lady is to choose where you want to find a foreign bride, then go and live there for at least 3 months. Take time off from your job, find a cheap hotel or rental apartment and go and meet ladies in person. Start by making friends in your adopted country – every Chinese lady I've met has known at least one other Chinese lady looking for a Western husband, so you'll soon be able to network your way to true love.
So ForeignLadies has some nice looking ladies on it, but this site is expensive. My recommendation is to do some window shopping on this site, then go and register for one of the Cupid Media sites like Filipino Cupid or Russian Euro.

No Ties—Just Wins for Kidd's Nets in 2014
Kidd Goes Without a Necktie and Racks Up Wins
No Ties—Just WinsFor Kidd's Nets in 2014
Nets coach Jason Kidd has yet to wear a necktie in 2014, and his team just so happens to be 2-0 in the new year. The two facts are probably unrelated, but Kidd told reporters at Sunday's practice that he won't wear a tie when the Nets host the Atlanta Hawks on Monday night.
If the wins aren't because of Kidd's lack of a necktie, then the Nets' two-game streak is likely the product of an...

"Winning the Heisman should not be a punishment," Sumlin said. "It is a completely different situation than anybody has ever had. Usually, you are looking at a player's last game (during a Heisman winner's bowl week). This is a redshirt freshman, a 20-year-old kid. You have to be careful heaping on too much of what the expectations are for a young man. We have to be very, very cognizant of what is going on. I think he understands that."
Asked about his award, Manziel said other Heisman winners have told him his life "will never be the same" now that he is a recipient and he is beginning to understand what they mean.
