Family Photos –
Do you need some photos for a Christmas Card? Or to send a picture to show Aunt Marge and Uncle Tim how much the kids have grown? Or just a nice family photo to hang on the wall? Im your guy!
I will come and take photos of your family for a great price.
A family of four will cost 250 dollars for a 2-3 hour photo shoot. Each additional person will cost 50 dollars.
Price – $250 for a family of four. $50 for each additional person Plus the cost for me to get to the location.
Where – You pick the place! Weather it's a favorite park, or in your own backyard, any place works
Photos – You will end up with around 40-50 edited photos all burned to a CD and mailed to your house. If you would like prints (such as actually printed photographs, books, cards, mugs, etc) We can talk about that and negotiate a price for those.
Time – Preferably the last few hours of the day (around 4:30 – to sunset), if this does not work out for you, we can change the time
Some tips for the shoot –
– Come dressed how ever you would like. I would suggest casual-formal (You want to make Aunt Marge happy don't you?)
– Late Afternoons are the best time to photograph, preferably a few hours before the sun sets. If this doesn't work out, we can always select a different time
Group Photos –
Do you need some photos for a basketball team? Dance Group? Or anything that involves a group for that matter, I would be happy to photograph it!
We can meet anywhere you'd like and take a few photos.

[1/3] AntipodeanSF magazine, #117 (February/March 2008): Annotated table of contents & review
20 tiny stories, 8 good. See opening remarks of #116 for any non-obvious conventions in the listing below. Full issue #117 is available here.
Story list (best first).I was forced to split this post into 3 parts due to Blogger label length constraints. This is part 1 (stories ranked #1 to #8, all A-rated); go to part 2 (stories #9 to #13, all B-rated), or part 3 (stories #14 to #20, all C-rated).
- Greg Wickenhofer & Rick Wickenhofer's "Orbiter's Reward" (A); download; self-ref; science fiction: Beware of "cute" & very useful robots; they can be very dangerous! Added to my best of the year 2008 list.
- Brendan D Carson's "Spawnotrim!!!" (A); download; self-ref; science fiction, humor: "Spawnotrim" is the magical weight loss drug on the market, imported from the alien world "Beta VIIa". The capsules contain seeds of alien life that live inside you by slowly eating your innards! And they manipulate your nervous system to make you feel happy, & ready to welcome your new alien masters - while you quickly move towards death! Story has the feel of late night TV advertising in India - the kind selling cheap appliances over phone, with ads that last hours at a stretch on major channels (must be very profitable business)!
- Bren MacDibble's "Taku Kinu" (A); download; self-ref; science fiction, humor: Tale of a stupid law enforcement officer.
- Simon Petrie's "Field Dynamics" (A); download; self-ref; science fiction, humor: An alien scoutship is exploring earth for possible conquest. Only, the potential conquerers are so tiny - a human takes the ship for a kids toy! Some bafflement, & he finds it's too much trouble, & carelessly crushes it under his tractor tires! But aliens have not given up. Next scout ship is on its way...
- David Conyers' "Redemption Slot Machine" (A); download; self-ref; science fiction: An AI psychiatrist cum memory surgeon, in return for $10, gives a man reason to live & find fulfillment rather than commit suicide.
- Matthew Nicholls' "Turing Test" (A); download; self-ref; science fiction: An android indistinguishable from humans except in one test.
- David McVeigh's "Man In Grey" (A); download; self-ref; non-genre: This is a political story about a current issue. An alien "Executioner" is meting out justice on earth. In the story, we see part of the hearing & then execution of the President of a rich country.
Accusations include:
- "You ordered complex maneuvers to evade international law in order to transport political prisoners to places of torture".
- "Even now, you prosecute a war in a backward country on a very ... transparent pretext!"
- "your coercion of other, more moderate nations to your way of thinking."
Accused's defense that didn't cut with the judge/Executioner includes:
- "We are a sovereign power protecting our security against terrorism."
- "We're world leaders. We brought peace. We raised backward nations to prosperity. We're strong. We protect the good nations... No one can survive without our democracy. The terrorists want to hurt our economy."
- Charles Richard Laing's "The First Heartbreak" (A); download; self-ref; science fiction: An unconventional love story - from the time when sea animals were just getting out to land.

Two men have been sentenced for grievous bodily harm after punching a 19-year-old man in Banbury, leaving him with three fractures to his jaw.
Tomas McLaughlin, 23, and Daniel Lewis, 18, pleaded to guilty to one count of assault occasioning grievous bodily harm at Oxford Crown Court on March 19. They were sentenced the same day.
McLaughlin, of Bretch Hill, Banbury, was given a two-year prison sentence and Lewis, of Millers Way, Middleton Cheney, was given a deferred sentence for six months, with conditions of a curfew with tag and 180 hours community service.
The incident happened on May 5 last year in the Market Place, with the victim requiring surgery at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford to fit metal plates to his jaw.
Detective constable Sam Bonner of Banbury Force CID, said: "This is a robust sentence and reflects the seriousness of the incident. Thames Valley Police and the courts take violent crime very seriously and this sentence shows that if you go into the town centre and commit a violent crime you can expect a robust punishment."

Unspeakable Joy
Contributed by Roddy Chestnut on Oct 18, 2000 (message contributor)
1. The Christian life should be a life characterized by JOY.
a. This we believe & Bible affirms--Christians have every reason to be happy.
1) What should this happiness & joy look like?
2) Answer will depend on how you view Christian joy.
b. Some feel that Christian joy should be expressed in:
1) Enthusiastic "hallelujahs" or hearty "amens."
2) Bumper stickers: "I Love Jesus" or "Honk if you love Jesus."
3) Philosophy: One should feel & look happy all the time!
c. Unbelievers look at this kind of joy & think one of several things:
1) To be a Christian means one must first disengage their brain.
2) Christianity is "pie-in-the-sky"; has nothing to do w/ real life
3) Christians are fakes--nobody could be that happy all the time.
2. I think those are valid criticisms.
a. Something IS wrong w/ someone who has simplistic approach to life.
b. Christian Joy:
1) Does not always express itself in outward shows of enthusiasm.
2) Not a roller-coaster ride of emotional ups and downs.
3) Deep, quiet, smoldering sense of JOY that remains constant despite outward circumstances.
c. Our illust. of true JOY tonight ................ Apostle Paul.
1) Philippians--"Epistle of Joy" even though Paul is in prison!
2) How can we have a Joy that remains constant .... regardless?
a) Harsh Realities of Paul's Life.
b) Indestructible Roots of Paul's Joy.
I. THE HARSH REALITIES OF PAUL'S LIFE. [ Circumstances that COULD have robbed Paul's Joy ]
A. Paul is in Prison.
1. There are few happy prisoners.
a. Life has been interrupted ...... freedom has been restricted.
b. Many prisoners become bitter at the "system" & at life.
2. Being in prison MUST have bothered even Paul.
a. His life & freedom were being interrupted.
b. Even some uncertainty as to his future (1:20).
B. Paul is being Criticized by those Who do not Like Him (1:14-17).
1. Hard to imagine ......... Not everybody liked Paul!
2. Some were envious and glad to see him out of the way!
C. Paul had been Worried about Someone Who was Close to Him (2:25-30).
1. Epaphroditus--sent by church in Philippi to Paul.
2. Became sick & nearly died.
D. Paul's Worried about the Problems of a Local Church (cf. 2 Cor. 11:28)
2. FALSE TEACHING (3:1 ff.)
II. INDESTRUCTIBLE ROOTS OF PAUL'S JOY. [ Reasons Paul maintained sense of joy regardless
A. Realities Paul Realized: of the circumstances ]
1. Paul realized he was not alone (1:3-5).
2. Paul was able to see that his work was acc. something (1:6-9).
3. Paul knew he had prayers of saints & help of Spirit (1:19).
4. Paul knew he had a purpose (goal) in life (3:10-11).
5. Paul was confident in his salvation (3:20-21; cf. 1 Jn. 5:13).
B. Attitudes Paul Possessed:
1. Paul's mind did not dwell on the past (3:13).
2. Paul strived to dwell only on what was good (4:8-9).
3. Paul looked to see the hand of God in bad circumstances (1:12).
a. New opportunities were opening up (1:13). (cf. Rom. 8:28)
b. Others were picking up the slack (1:14).
c. Even enemies were preaching CHRIST! (1:15-18).
4. Paul learned to be content with little (4:11-13).
1. Christian Joy is not dependent on favorable circumstances.
a. Goes much deeper than that.
b. Related to things God gives that Man can never take away.

System Crash
By Chris Hyduk
First Aired:
January 17th, 1998
None! (But the game characters came back from Malicious Corpses, A Dungeon Deep, Rocky the Rabid Raccoon, Wacky Races, Mortal Kombat, Undersea Adventure, The Funhouse, etc...etc...)
Click here to hear this episodes intro!
Our happy binome friends, live in complete bliss. Also in complete ignorance of the danger around them. They entertain themselves on the docks of Mainframe, doing various dances and such to keep from going insane. Of course, when the dock begins collapsing and they are falling into the energy sea, even the most daft binome can tell when to run away.
The KISS binomes: Klobbered
The Sailor moon binomes: Smashed (Yesssssss!!) :)
Al's rollerblading server: Served up, I'm afraid
Special Agent Fax Modem: Fatally Mashed
The Elvis binome: He's left the building
Indiana Nome: 8 Balls, Why does it always have to be 8 Balls?
And the Principle Office: falling to pieces.
Our heroes are thinking of what to do. Mouse says that people are dying, and Matrix says that they need a plan. Dot agrees, and she already has one. They begin the evacuation of the city, rounding up binomes. Dot wants everyone to know that they can find shelter in the Principle Office, and Andraia tells her that Mouse and Ray are spreading the word and rounding up the remaining binomes. Dot wonders if they can trust the surfer, and Matrix and Andraia vouch for him, although Mouse is doing some investigating of her own.
Mouse and Ray fly through the city, and Mouse seems quite interested in Ray. They seem to have a lot in common, as they discover as they rescue two green-haired binomes.
Back at the P.O., Hack and Slash have found Phong's body in the trash, and present it to Phong's head. Phong tells them that the sectors of the city must be powered down, before they tear themselves apart. Then the shutdown will be averted, and only the P.O. will remain online. Dot asks how they will accomplish this as the Core control chamber was destroyed in the war. Phong says that it must be done manually, from within the core itself. Dot says that noone can survive in the core, and Bob says he thinks he can. Dot says no, but realizes that it is the only way, and finally agrees.
Lines of binomes await entry to the P.O., Matrix breaks up a scuffle, and Mouse and Ray show up with two more survivors. A familiar 'nome is in the line, and calls out "C'mon Al! You don't want to be the last one in!", which is replied to by someone in the back, "What?".
Andraia tells Matrix that there's a holdout at the junkyard, and Matrix isn't surprised. He tries to convince Old Man Pierson that he has to leave, and even when Pierson recognizes Enzo, he won't leave. Not, at least, until he is rendered unconscious by Andraia's spines. She tells Matrix that she will see him soon.
Matrix asks what's next, and suddenly three tears open up. Mouse tells him they're about to find out, as a large, hulking figure emerges from the portal. The figure of the user, the same user who injured Enzo's eye so long ago. It looks straight at Matrix.
Phong's head is reattached, and he observes Bob entering the core. They start getting reports of tears opening all over the city. Bob is concerned, but Dot tells him she has it covered. Dot is concerned, but Bob tells her "It's not like we won't see each other again". Dot agrees, and Bob enters the core. Dot turns her attention to the tears, and suddenly one opens right there. A figure emerges, one immediately recognized as the user. Phong says, "Oh Dear!".
The users are coming through in droves; Santa, A Knight, The Clown, and the creature who hurt Matrix. Mouse tells them that they're undeleted RAM, released by the instabilities in the system. They each choose one, and the arse kinking begins!
Ray VS. Santa:
The 'Claus: Closed!
Mouse VS. The Clown and the Knight:
Clown and Knight: considerably pummeled!
Matrix VS. Zaytan:
Not this time!
It's user bashing, Mainframe style! And Everybody's invited! Matrix blasts the Zaytan user square in the head, he's gone. He then wonders about Andraia. Andraia has a new bike! Megabyte's Mega-Bike! She is headed back to the P.O. when she encounters one of the users. This user is the space ship from "The Tearing"
(Sniff, The very first User, that brings back memories!)
Andraia makes short work out of the ship, and continues on her way. She is then attacked by the airplane/dinosaur hybrid from "When Games Collide", she is saved by Captain Capacitor and his band, now in a CPU car.
Across town, The Doktor binome, and his Igor-esque sidekick are fleeing the system. They know that if they get caught, they'll be in a lot of trouble. As they enter an alley, a menacing shadow appears. The shadow of Hexadecimal, holding a rolling Pin
approaches them, asking them if they're going somewhere. Her menacing laughter drifts into the air.
Bob is in the core, but he can't get through to Dot to let her know. This might be because Dot is currently being strangled by Ash, the guy from "Malicious Corpses". She manages to get free with help from Hack and Slash. The vision impaired binome is knocked over by the prisoner user from "Starship Alcatraz". Phong leaps on him, and pulls him to the ground.
Hack and Slash and Dot surround Ash, but he simply looks around, says "Groovy" and pulls out his shotgun.
Mouse is struggling with Penelope Pitstop, who has her in a headlock. At the same time, she is fending off the cowboy user from "High Code". Ray isn't having any trouble, stomping on the tine knights and dinosaurs running around, and neither is Matrix, who easily takes out two Carrot warriors from "Wizards, Warriors, and a Word from our Sponser". Matrix doesn't even bother when a portal open, and flings out a shark onto the ground. He simply watches it flouder around.
Inside the core, Bob realizes that he is cut off, and he is on his own, But a voice behind him says otherwise. Bob spins around...Megabyte.
Ray takes out another user, and Matrix knocks over the dinosaur/tank hybrid. He is saved from another knight by Andraia on her bike. Several binomes try to help Old Man Pierson off of the bike, trying to avoid dropping him. They drop him.
Bob figures out that Megabyte is only a simulation, placed there to try and divert anyone from fixing the system. Bob begins working.
Hack and Slash have been shot, and Ash has turned towards Dot. He is about to fire at her when Frisket leaps at him. "It's Payback time" Says Dot, as Frisket finishes him off. Matrix shows up, just as Princess Bula snaps the neck of the last user. They remember Bob, and try to contact him. To no avail.
Bob watches as Sector 31 goes kaput. As Megabyte mocks him, he works feverishly to fix more systems.
Outside, they are sure that Bob is okay, because sectors are being shutdown.
Megabyte continues to heckle Bob, who is not letting the taunting distract him from saving the system
Hack and Slash say their final goodbyes. And Slash reminds Hack that he is a good friend, even when he ratted him out to Megabyte. Hack doesn't know why he can't just leave that alone, and they decide to just shut up.
"Heeeeeeyyy, is there room in this crowded show for a cameo by everyone's favorite talking television?"
Mike is dejected.
Bob is now surrounded by Megabytes. Bob doesn't believe in the No-Win situation, and continues to work.
Matrix starts to go down to the core, and Andraia goes with him.
Bob starts using his powers to fix the sectors. Megabyte says "No!", but Bob just says, "Try and Stop me!". The energy sea begins closing in on the system, and Bob races the clock to get everything shut down in time. The sea is only a little bit away from the P.O., But he manages to get the last system shut down. exhausted, he collapses.
The warning lights go off, they all look around. Bob is carried in by Matrix and Andraia. He asks Dot, "System...Out of Danger?"
(Said by Spock in Star Trek II")
Dot asks if he is okay, and they close in, about to kiss.
"Here, let me help you" says Dot
"No, really, let me.." Bob replies, getting closer, their lips about to touch
"No Way! Let Me!!" exclaims Rocky, as he gives her a big Smackeroo, "The girl's tasty, but where's all the food?". Rocky takes off.
Dot is in shock, and Matrix says that they must have missed a user. Andraia goes off to find him. Bob asks Phong how they're doing, and Phong turns to them.
"News is not good, my son." he says.
"What do you mean?" asks Bob.
"We have survived Megabyte's bane, but Mainframe is still doomed.", Phong replies, and our heroes look on worriedly.

With an opening that hails Jeff Vogel as the "Grand Poobah" of independently developed role-playing titles, it should come as no surprise that the rest of this Geneforge 2 review is rather complimentary, and it reaches this verdict:
Is the dying worth it? In the end, yes. Though Geneforge 2 is not my favorite Spiderweb game, it is certainly worth a look from any serious roleplayer. The constant to-ing and fro-ing from one map to the next takes you out of the game world and the difficulty obstructs the freeform exploration so crucial to making the early part of a game fun. The story is top notch, though, and the interface a real pleasure to use.
A final mark of 3.5 out of 5 accompanies the assessment. Based in Seattle, Washington, Spiderweb Software has acquired a reputation for developing old school style RPGs.

In Your Interest
Keep up with happenings at IU Credit Union with In Your Interest, our quarterly member newsletter.
Holiday Closings
All branches of the IU Credit Union will be closed Monday, September 5th in observance of Labor Day.
Remember that your debit card, Online Banking and Mobile Banking are available 24/7. Plus you have surcharge-free access to your account at thousands of ATMs nationwide in the CO-OP and Alliance One ATM networks.
Monroe County Energy Challenge
The IU Credit Union is proud to be a Workplace Partner with Monroe County Energy Challenge! We are sharing their energy tips with the employees of IU Credit Union, but we also wanted to share them with our members! The MCEC is a community wide effort to reduce energy use in order to win the $5 Million Georgetown University Energy Prize.
Every household in Monroe County is already included in the competition. This means your household is eligible for a free home energy assessment to help MCEC reach its goal and also cut your energy costs! Here are a few basic steps to reduce your energy use provided by MCEC:
- Set the thermostat appropriately and dress for the season. Heating and cooling account for about 43% of energy consumption in the average U.S. home, according to the Department of Energy. By turning your thermostat up during the summer and down in the winter, you can save big! Increase the set temperature in the summer when you're not home, and lower it in the winter when you're out or sleeping.
- Combat phantom loads. Even when you think something is off, it can still draw power. These "phantom loads" can cost consumers up to $200 a year. To find the phantom loads in your home, turn all the lights off in a room and look for anything glowing–TVs, computers, chargers, digital clocks, etc. Where practical, unplug these items or plug them into a power strip that can be turned off when items aren't in use. You can even buy smart power strips that turn themselves off.
- Close your curtains. Curtains can help keep heat out in the summer and in in the winter–and they're much cheaper than new windows. See here for more information.
- Don't use your dryer and check your fridge temp. After heating and cooling, dryers and refrigerators are two of our biggest energy consumers. When the weather allows, hang your clothes outside–your grandmother would be proud. Make sure your refrigerator is set at the right temperature. The recommended setting for your fridge is 40 degrees F, and 3 degrees F for the freezer. If you have it set colder than this, you may be wasting energy!
For more information on reducing your energy use and to schedule your assessment, visit www.mocoenergychallenge.org.

Students: Crash Course in Personal Finance
College years are the time when many people establish financial habits that will carry them for the rest of their lives.
Pay attention to these items to get off on the right financial foot:
- Spending plan: Get a clear idea about how much money is available for college expenses. Create a workable monthly spending plan that balances income, loans, and gifts with anticipated expenses.
- Records: Use an app to track expenses or monitor expenses online. Tally the running balance daily and balance financial statements every month. Tracking expenses might reveal some surprises and provide opportunities to change direction.
- Credit cards: Commit to paying credit card bills in full and on time each month. Using credit wisely teaches you how to live within your means while creating a positive credit record that could help when buying a car, renting an apartment, obtaining insurance, and even landing a job.
- Organization: Keep all financial records, bills, and account statements in one location. This will help you pay bills on time, avoid late fees, and keep an unblemished credit score.

Three Things to Know Before Buying a New Car
There are many things to consider before purchasing ANY car, but a NEW car might spark particular questions. There are pros and cons to buying new cars, just as there are pros and cons to buying used cars.
First off, when purchasing any vehicle, ask yourself "Why am I buying this car?" Is it for daily use, will you need a lot of storage space, seating space? Make sure the makes and models you narrow your search down to are practical reflections of how you will use the car.
You may love the look of a larger vehicle, but if you don't have five children, you might not need that much space and that particular car may not be right for your daily commute and errands.
After you've considered the personal aspects of which car to buy, move on to the less subjective parts of the process:
- 1. Depreciation
Most cars depreciate at about 15% per year. With new cars, there is a 20% depreciation rate as soon as you drive off the lot. You want to consider this before you decide to buy a new car, especially if you can't put much money down as a down payment. Chances are you'll be upside down on your car loan almost immediately if you're financing the entire cost.
Note: Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) is insurance designed to cover the difference between the insurance settlement and the loan balance in the event that your vehicle is lost or stolen or totaled in an accident. With GAP, you can protect yourself from financial loss, protect your credit rating and afford peace of mind. Click here for more info.
- 2. Cost-to-own
Also, consider the true cost to own the car you're eyeing. These costs include insurance, fuel, maintenance, and more. Maintenance costs vary by manufacturer and model. Do your research—some manufacturers have better reputations than others. Some new cars even come with "free" maintenance plans for the first couple of years or for a certain number of miles.
The IU Credit Union also offers affordable coverage beyond the manufacturer's warranty on new or used vehicles financed through us. Compare our Mechanical Repair Coverage (MRC) to dealer programs to see if you can save money while receiving a flexible, easy-to-understand, less expensive coverage.
For your protection, we make available optional Term Life and Disability Insurance. The cost is less than you might pay for similar insurance elsewhere. You can choose one or both types of coverage for your vehicle loan.
- 3. How much can you afford?
Don't guide yourself solely by what the dealership is willing to lend you. And, don't be blindsided by an attractive low monthly payment—oftentimes tied to a super-long loan term. Consider all aspects of financing—the total amount you are going to end up paying for that vehicle when it's all said and done. That's what matters.
Visit IU Credit Union before you even step on the lot. As a not-for-profit financial cooperative, we can approve you for an auto loan that fits your circumstances—and your budget.

Ever bumped into the situation where you created a vector shape in Photoshop, and the edges of the shape became undesirable? Unfortunately this is not a display problem, it renders like this when the document is saved. Photoshop is a pixel-based application, which means every document is based on a grid of pixels. However, paths are vector-based objects that are not constricted to the document's pixel grid. A control point can live somewhere between two actual pixels. And this is the fact that produces this awkward look of vector shapes.
The solution is pretty easy. If we select one of the Shape Tools (U) and go up to the Options Bar, we can see a little dropdown arrow here. All we need to do is click on it and check the "Snap to Pixels" option.
This way, the edges of our future shapes will be snapped to the actual pixel grid of our document.
One important thing to note here: You have to turn the "Snap to Pixels" option on for each and every shape tool individually.
Now, what if you already have a rather complex shape that would be a pain to recreate. What you can do is grab the Direct Selection Tool (A), and reposition the control points one-by-one, paying careful attention to edges and vertices. You may want to zoom way in for this, the further you zoom in, the smaller the movement of the points. Also, you can check the Pixel Grid option in the Show menu for this, it'll help you a lot!
I hope you like this one, more Quick Tips are about to come in the future! Cheers!

Registration is open here.
The deadline for abstract submission has now passed.
Oral communication slots are available at this meeting.
All attendees, particularly researchers in the early stages of their career, are invited to submit a poster abstract for consideration as an oral communication.
Unique to the Biochemical Society, Harden Conferences are residential research conferences covering a specialist topic.
The conferences bring together scientists from various backgrounds with a common interest in - but varying approaches to - the topic of the conference.
To maintain a suitably high level of discussion and presentation at the conference, it is desirable that participants be experienced in the field covered; most of the participants will be expected to have postdoctoral or equivalent experience, although Ph.D. students will also be welcome.
The planned scientific sessions feature speakers invited by the Organizers and, in addition, time is left for extensive discussion and for short contributions, including posters, by other conference participants.
All participants must be resident for the duration of the conference..
Harden Bursaries
Bursary applications have now closed.
Travel bursaries and full or partly sponsored free places are available for graduate students and those who gained their PhD in the last 5 years. Preference will be given to senior graduate students and restricted to members of the Biochemical Society and relevant associated Societies.
To apply for a Harden Bursary, please supply the relevant information on the conference application form.
All Harden Bursary applicants will be informed approximately two weeks after the application deadline whether the application has been successful.
Please note that Harden Conferences are often over-subscribed, and many applications are not accepted. Please do not make travel arrangements until you have been informed, in writing, that your application has been accepted.

As the latest reports indicate, USAA who ousted ads from Sean Hannity's Fox News Show this previous week has announced that they will bring the ads back.
As reported by APNews, the USAA financial services firm is bringing back the advertising on Sean Hannity's Fox News Channel program after getting vocally bashed for its first decision, from the bulk of the military members and veterans that it works for.
The San Antonio, Texas-based company stated Tuesday, that it will also begin advertising again on other programs where it had dropped ads, in which "Hardball" and "The Rachel Maddow Show" on MSNBC, and Jake Tapper's "The Lead" on CNN.
After Hannity's reporting on an almost forgotten conspiracy theory regarding the death of a Democratic National Committee staff member, the liberal advocacy group Media Matters this past week posted a list of his show's advertisers — and USAA was one of the 10 who declared they are dropping the ads. Back then, the USAA stated the company's policy was to stand aside from politically oriented shows.
However, many of USAA's customers were immediately triggered, and all of that was topped off with the announcement that the company is advertising on different opinion shows.
"We heard concerns from many members who watch and listen to these programs," USAA said in a statement on Tuesday. "Our goal in advertising has always been to reach members of the military community who would benefit from USAA's well-known commitment to service. Today, the lines between news and editorial are increasingly blurred."
Brent Bozell, president of the conservative Media Research Center, stated he wasn't shocked by USAA's move, "given the avalanche" of protests. His group was responsible for the conceptualization of that backlash, and stated its members gathered no less than 1,600 phone calls to USAA in the span of 48 hours.
"They did the right think in going back on that show," he stated, "and so long as the other side isn't participating in personal smears, they should participate on those shows, too."

Amazing. Linda!
My beautiful best childhood friend has found me! She walked me to my first day of Grade 1. Arm in arm. She helped me learn to tie my shoes. We made little houses from shoe boxes and figured out when the new shoes showed up. We smoked a false cigarette made of prairie grasses. Danced ballet in the back yard and dressed up in real glass high heels. Spit sunflower seeds like perfect ladies. Almost 10 feet! Dressed the dogs in ruffles and lace and same with the little brothers. Hopscotched everywhere. Even when there were no hopscotch squares. Skipped and learned to double dutch and pepper. Became blood sisters forever by cutting with glass and rubbing fingers together.
She started to feel sick and I wasn't allowed to visit. The disease struck her heart. Scary during times when polio still existed and things like rheumatic fever were still common.
I sat heart broken on my porch and watched her house for hours in perfect vigil. I had already experienced the terrible separation that death meant. I stopped sleeping altogether.
I was called to her bedside when the priest came for last rites. Tiny me. Her mother begged my mom to let me be there. A life altering experience to say the least. They prayed over her which scared me. She had a little flowered nightie on and was not conscious. I was asked to hold her hand and tell her I loved her and I wanted her to come back. She didn't even look like Linda. And being me I talked and talked and she squeezed my hand. I would come back tomorrow.
Her mother kissed and kissed me and I saw her father cry hard. She wasn't going to live through the night. Whispers from all the adults on watch. Call day or night. We are right across the alley.
I didn't know kids could die.
I did come back and every day for a long time. At first she just lay on the bed. Sunken eyes and very sad, exhausted little face. I brought her drawings and paper dolls I made. I saved every penny I found and managed to buy her a paper doll with real hair. I scrounged all the Eaton's catalogues I could. So we could do cut outs. And we did. Read books. Did dot to dots.
One day the visit came and the door to her room was closed. I was lead away and made to sit on the chesterfield. The door opened and out she walked. More like a trembling stagger. All the way to where I sat.
We lost touch in adolescence. On the radio I heard she won a prize of money.
Miracle of miracles. Facebook finds my beloved cousin Jeff who was missing to me and others in our family. And then Jeff goes to an optometrist where a very lively Linda works. She looks at his name and asks if he knows me. He gives her my information and voila!
On Facebook is a picture of the lovely Linda. Full of life and love. Same beautiful eyes. Pink cheeks and happy family.
My blood sister.

Jayne wears this shirt in Objects in Space. He wears another version of it in the movie when going to the Maidenhead and when we first see Haven.
More after the break...
Another screencap from Objects in Space:
And, moving on to Serenity, some screencaps:
Some promo shots:
This costume was at the Propstore for awhile, in several forms:
I believe the last picture there on the hanger is from someone's private collection. I wish I knew who so I can credit them. I'll do some searching...
The next is a photo I'm sure I pulled off of a Google image search, so now I have no idea where it came from. This is why keeping better records is good, people. Anyway, I share it now...
It says in the file name that it is a "redesign." It looks close, but not exactly right, so take what you will from it. It might just be someone's interpretation, but I quite like it.

text: Hi there, I am well used to waxoiling my classic cars, however, I am getting differing opinions as the the waxoiling of my Motorhome. Just a few months old, (the van that is, I'm fifty in a few weeks!) I am keen to waxoil the chassis. Waxoil or equivilant does help stop the rot setting in. As I use the Motorhome for day trips even over winter, the waxoil does help protect against the effects of the salt. Some say (sounding like J. Clarkson introducing the Stig)that I shouldn't get waxoil on the wooden floor, opinions please? Regards to all you seasoned Motorhomers, WeeJohn

There have been "iPhone mini" rumors since before Apple introduced the 5.5" iPhone Plus, but now that the 4" has languished people are starting to miss it. So much so that KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes Apple can move 20-30 million of such a phone.
He gives the following prescription for the specs: metal casing (since the 5s far outsold the 5c), Apple A9 chipset to handle iOS9 and 10 (since the A7 in the 5s is getting really rusty), no 3D Touch (to differentiate the bigger phones).
Kuo believes that Apple will hand the manufacturing contract to Foxconn exclusively sometime in the first half of next year. The analyst says Apple will move to further differentiate the biggest and mid-size iPhone 7 models, by giving the Plus extra RAM.
Again, this is what an analyst believes is the best move for Apple, whether the leadership at Cupertino agrees remains to be seen. Looking at Android, there's basically no 4" flagship, even the Xperia Z Compact line is at 4.6". Would you pick a 4" iPhone 7 over a 4.7" one?
I would love to own a 4" iPhone only if it has specs that of 5s. All charms of 5s picked & poured into 4s Housing, I loved my 4s but had to switch to newer versions because of it's outdated hardware. In my opinion design of 4/4s is best of all, I...
thats going a bit too far whilst it definitely is the best iphone design many androids are far better, the droid razr m is the same size with a larger screen.
I was a android fan since the beginning. but the last handy phone with decent specs was moto g 1st generation. having small hands its getting difficult to operate any phone now since 5' inch seems to be the norm now.. so i have changed to iphone 5s d...

1992 INFINITI G20 4dr Sedan
I had this car since 2001. I bought this car with 113,000 miles on it now it has 203,000. I had to do some maintenance on it through out the years but nothing major. Replaced rotors starter and the alternator. Overall I dont think there is a more reliable car out there. I drive a 5 speed and never had a problem. The car has a timeless design, people dont believe that its a 92. I want to buy a new car but this one is still going strong. The interior doesn't look like new anymore but I dont want to make those monthly payments. Performance is awesome. How many cars this old can do 100 miles per hour on the highway and not fall apart. Yes it can go this fast and feel steady.
Power everything, cruise control.
Less interior noise but it's a 92 after all.
Bought the car for $700 and it runs
great. Interior quality is one of the
best I have seen (better than some
newer car I have driven). Road/Wind
noise is minimal. A/C is extremly
cold, heat is exellent. Interior is
still entact nothing is broken or
loose. Exterior has no dents and paint
still shines. Car is better than my
1991 Toyota Camry which has about the
same amount of miles but is falling
apart (interior buttons etc.)
Build quality, Reliability, SR20DE,
Handling, Infiniti is rated #3 in
quality, Infiniti Service, easily
tuned, super quiet (inside and out),
no rattles/squeaks even after 12 years
Wish it came with the SR20DET, but i
will swap soon! SR20DE is peppy but
not enough for me.
I love the handling, although some may
find it quite stiff. The engine is
spirited if you will give it some RPM.
It has a tendency to fall down @ 4500
RPM in warm weather, a cold-air intake
upgrade should fix it. The styling is
understated but quite nice, but not
real showy. 5 Speed mileage is superb;
I've been getting 33+
Cup Holder.
Quieter Ride over 70 mph.
I have had my G20 for a few months now
and all though there is nothing overly
impressive about it , you cant forget
the reliability of the car its not a
car that turns heads, But it however
does grant a sense of security for the
owner to know the maintenance will be
cheap and there will be little to
leather interior , all power options ,
timeless look that will never seem to
be out of place
more horsepower
nice spory luxury sedan, The body style
is attractive, interior is very nice
wood triming and leather seats
(although they will crack and tear if
not cared for)gives it that nice up-
scale feel The suspension is nearly
flawless bending curves with speed is
not a problem for the G20. 140
horsepower Twin-cam 16 valve engine
delevers a pretty nice kick.
leather interior, sunroof,
cup holder

In the letter http://www.thehawkeye.com/storync/Mary-Hoschek-091310 "Too many non payers," the writer's point is more elusive than her commentary. "Until handouts stop more legals and illegals will continue to live off those of us who work for a living." She would have the reader believe that the 43.4 percent of Americans who do not pay federal taxes are all living off the government dime. This quite simply is not true, the key lies in the quote from the Tax Policy center, "An astonishing 43.4 percent of Americans now pay zero or negative federal income taxes."
What are negative federal income taxes? Due to the Bush Tax Cuts, millions of Americans who are the working poor pay no federal taxes. Who are these individuals? They are the men and women across this nation working for minimum wages in the service sector, from "may I take your order please' to clerks in all the major department stores. At the end of the year their poverty status qualifies them for extra tax credits. This in turn means they receive income tax returns, hence you have negative federal income tax. While they receive this tax stipend and may be on food stamps, they do work for a living and should not be dismissed so callously. Note that it was W. who installed this policy along with his tax giveaway program to the top 2 percent, a trickle down theory that failed to create jobs expediting our current reality.
Regrettably at this time we should not consider letting these tax breaks for the needy expire, as is the policy of the Obama administration. If the right, clamoring for fiscal responsibility, cannot understand the need to stop the tax breaks for those making more than 250,000 a year, how do they ever foresee balancing the budget? We need stringent regulations on big business, as they continue to promote the elimination of the minimum wage law and outsourcing. Unless regulations are put in place, the percentage of Americans not earning a taxable income will only grow. The far right's policies will guarantee that good manufacturing jobs will never return to this nation.
Too many students today graduate from college only to obtain jobs working in bars and as gas station clerks. To the young voters in the region change takes time, stay the current course for another two years and give this administration a chance. After all, it took a few decades to create this problem. How can anyone of an enlightened mind expect it to be fixed in two years? After all, with the Senate supermajority rule in play, we are lucky the economy has leveled off and is showing slow signs of recovery.
On November 2, according to the media, we will see a wave election, that the angry mobs of tea baggers are going to take this country back. Of course, most of them have no idea where they are taking the country back to. Their knowledge of history impedes them from realizing that the policies they endorse would go beyond their bogus fears of unplugging grandma from life support, that their policies would throw grandma and grandpa out into the streets to starve and/or freeze to death. Most of the six senatorial tea party candidates have called Social Security a Ponzi scheme. It is at the top of their list to be eliminated. The tea party crowd, in my opinion, even fails to understand why they are so upset. Their anger is caused by the increasing social economic disparity in this nation, class warfare. Still, they let themselves be manipulated by the very individuals who will profit the most, the oppressive 2 percent of people who control the vast majority of this nation's wealth. This minority extremist crowd is not the key to this election. The key is the base of the Democratic Party.
Granted, the Democrats have done little campaigning to help themselves this election cycle. Therefore, it is up to us, the people to save our own ample posteriors. We must find what our collective representatives lack, a backbone. Between now and the election we must attempt to convince our righteously indignant apathetic Democratic and Independent friends that the battle is not lost, it has only begun.
Now, forgive me for a moment. I have to get up on my soapbox and change gears. I acknowledge the good Senator from Iowa, Senator Tom Harkin, and the legendary documentarian Michael Moore for the following talking points. Remind yourself and your voting associates that the 111 Congress has accomplished more, so far, than their counterparts throughout history, despite Republican obstructionism. Norman Ornstein, a Congressional scholar, is on record saying "This Congress is one of the most productive Congresses in history."
So, what you ask has this Congress been able to advance?

Full skirts like this ASOS number are the perfect piece to take from day to night to occasion like a wedding, depending on how it is styled, so easy to dress up or down. Now that I have tried the dress up version of this skirt, I am definitely going to risk it with a full skirt & sneakers typa post. Who's excited?

Soooooooo I'm in 9th grade (14-About to turn 15) and there is this 11th grader (18) who has a crush on me. He keeps telling my friend he wants to be with me and he will never stop talking about me. Him and I are pretty good friends, we text sometimes, and he always flirts with me. He is really good looking (I actually had a crush on him at the beginning of the year, but if kinda went away because I thought I never would have a chance with him) and has a really good personality. I'm just kinda nervous about the age difference. Is this weird, or should I find someone else?
Most Helpful Girl
Well since he's in 11th grade and not in 12th (going off to College), it's not like he has much option besides under aged girls.
3 years isn't that big if a difference.
But highschool developmental (maturity-wise) makes it.
If your family is ok with the age difference , then go for it !
When you're both adults...3 years is nothing.

You decide your wife deserves some pampering and buy her a gift certificate for that perfect haircut, facial and manicure at a posh Severna Park beauty salon.
But when she tries to use the certificate, she finds it isn't worth the paper it's printed on, and the shop, Elite Total Skin, Hair & Body Care, is closed and dark.
But don't panic. She can still use the certificate.
Todd Morgan August, co-owner of Morgan Gerard in Annapolis, said he feels so bad for former clients of Elite, which closed without notice several weeks ago, that he will honor gift certificates from the now-defunct shop.

American Flags around Clifton.
Made in America!
Just how did the American flag become what it is today?
Folding the American flag.
The American flag is a solid symbol of American identification as well as national pride. Additionally called Old Glory, the United States flag has a vivid background and also has actually gone through several changes starting from the very first main flag of 1777.
Today the American flag consists of thirteen straight stripes, seven red rotating with 6 white stripes. The stripes represent the original 13 colonies; the stars stand for the 50 states of the nation. The colors of the flag are symbolic also: red represents strength as well as valiance, white symbolizes pureness as well as virtue and also blue stands for vigilance, determination as well as justice. The factor the Continental Congress originally picked the red, white, and also blue colors was not made clear in the resolution taking on the flag. Historians believe it was most likely a shade option based upon the British Union Jack, which had previously flown over the colonies.
With time, some have associated slightly different significances to the 3 colors, as an example, the shade red symbolizing the blood spilled to maintain our freedoms, yet the significance of the initial definition has actually been rather constant since 1782.
Just how did the American flag turn into exactly what it is today?
It is a lot more than the 3 shades or a "decoration". Think about the areas around the world that the American flag has flown, consider the improvement it has actually undertaken throughout the years on American land. It is genuinely humbling to think about all that was provided and also given up to ensure that the American flag can fly easily across this nation.
The flag that began with only 13 stars grew to 50 with the addition of new states to the Union. The number of stars on the flag progressively rose to its existing number today where a brand-new star would certainly be added to the blue area on the 4th of July after the day of each new state's admission.
The variety of alternating horizontal red as well as white stripes has actually continued to be at thirteen except from 1795 to 1818 when fifteen stripes showed up on the flag to note the admission of Kentucky and Vermont to the Union. In 1818, it was agreed that including a stripe to the flag for each brand-new state would no longer happen as it will make the flag appear crowded and it would make the flag unwieldy. It was agreed then that the flag would certainly go back to having just thirteen stripes to represent the original colonies.
The American flag is a symbol not only of strength, valor, pureness, innocence, vigilance, determination and justice; it is a symbol of freedom. Liberty that has actually been combatted so hard for over the decades. Liberty that has cost this country and also the households within so much, but it is still a beacon to those desiring they had the freedom that the country has.
Folding the American flag.
Conventional flag etiquette suggests that prior to an American flag is kept or presented, its handlers must two times fold it in half lengthwise; then (from the other end opposite the blue area) make a triangular fold, continuing to fold it in triangles until the other end is reached. This makes a triangular "pillow" of the flag with just the blue starred area revealing outside, and also it takes thirteen folds to create: 2 lengthwise folds and also eleven triangular ones.
The flag isn't really folded up in this way since each of the folds has a special symbolic definition; the flag is folded in this manner due to the fact that it supplies a dignified ceremonial touch that distinguishes folding a flag from folding an ordinary object such as a blanket, and also because it results a visually pleasing, easy-to-handle form. This thirteen-fold treatment was an usual technique long before the production of a ceremonial assignation of "implying" per of the actions.
An intricate flag folding event integrating these significances has actually from then on been created for special occasions such as Memorial Day as well as Veterans Day. These associations are "genuine" in the feeling that they imply something to individuals that take part in the event, yet they are not the reason that a flag is folded up in the typical thirteen-step manner.
This is America and also its sign is the American Flag. Even though numerous Americans in the state of South Carolina happily fly the flag outside their houses and services every day, it is fitting that we, as a country, have actually established apart one details day each year to recognize our flag and also to remember that it stands for the perfects as well as values that we need to aim to support.

Jim Beam Owner Suntory Postpones $36 Billion Revenue Target
Published on Sep 26 2017 9:40 AM in Drinks tagged: Japan / Suntory / Orangina / Jim Beam
Suntory Holdings, the liquor giant that is facing a slowdown in the Japanese market, stepped back from its goal of almost doubling annual revenue by 2020.
The company will reach the sales target of four trillion yen ($36 billion) – made in 2014, after it agreed to acquire Beam, Inc. – at least two years later, chief executive officer Takeshi Niinami said in an interview. Suntory, the owner of Orangina soft drinks and Jim Beam bourbon, said that it set the sales goal as a way of measuring its performance as a global company.
Suntory Holdings, which is closely held and has operations from food to spirits and beverages, is facing headwinds in its home market, as the population ages. Soft-drink and alcohol sales volume in Japan, where the company derives about 66% of revenue, is forecast to grow at a slower pace than the global average over the next four years, according to research firm Euromonitor.
"Realistically, our current sales are not enough," Niinami said in Tokyo recently. "Buying Beam was a big step in getting to the four-trillion-yen sales goal, but to get there, it may take until 2022 or 2023."
Company Performance
Shares of Suntory Beverage & Food Ltd, the publicly traded unit controlled by the holding company, fell as much as 1.8% in Tokyo trading recently. The benchmark Topix index was little changed.
The company expects to post revenue of 2.69 trillion yen for 2017. Reaching the four-trillion-yen goal would require a 50% sales increase from that level. The sales forecast was made three years ago, when Suntory's annual revenue was about two trillion yen, and about one trillion yen of the target was projected to come from the spirits operations.
Suntory placed its biggest bet when it purchased Beam, the US bourbon-maker, for about $16 billion, including debt to grow beyond Japan. The company has also scooped up assets such as Orangina and the Lucozade sports-drink brands.
Volume sales of soft drinks and alcohol in Japan are expected to grow below 1% every year for the next four years, according to Euromonitor forecasts. Suntory is the second-largest soft-drink seller in Japan, after Coca-Cola Co., and it is ranked third in the country's alcoholic-beverage market, after Asahi Group Holdings Ltd and Kirin Holdings Co.
Sales growth will stem from the successful integration of Beam, as well as the soft-drinks business, run through the publicly traded Suntory Beverage & Food Ltd, said Niinami. The 58-year-old executive joined Suntory after the Beam purchase as the first person outside of its founding family to lead the company.

Because this Mass Effect 3 ending controversy simply refuses to die, here's the game's director, Casey Hudson, offering his official take on the matter.
If you've been living inside a cave for the past few weeks, you may be the only person on the planet spared the ongoing saga of the 'net's collective anger at BioWare over the ending of Mass Effect 3. Seriously, people are pissed about this thing.
In reaction, Mass Effect 3 director Casey Hudson took to the official BioWare forums to offer his opinion on the issue. Odds are solid it won't quell any rage you might have, but if anyone is benefiting from this hoopla it is we game journalists who subsist entirely on your delicious pageviews.
Have a look:
For the last eight years, Mass Effect has been a labor of love for our team; love for the characters we've created, for the medium of video games, and for the fans that have supported us. For us and for you, Mass Effect 3 had to live up to a lot of expectations, not only for a great gaming experience, but for a resolution to the countless storylines and decisions you've made as a player since the journey began in 2007. So we designed Mass Effect 3 to be a series of endings to key plots and storylines, each culminating in scenes that show you the consequences of your actions. You then carry the knowledge of these consequences with you as you complete the final moments of your journey.
We always intended that the scale of the conflict and the underlying theme of sacrifice would lead to a bittersweet ending-to do otherwise would betray the agonizing decisions Shepard had to make along the way. Still, we wanted to give players the chance to experience an inspiring and uplifting ending; in a story where you face a hopeless struggle for basic survival, we see the final moments and imagery as offering victory and hope in the context of sacrifice and reflection.
Continuing, Hudson points out the positive critical reactions the game has received, before adding that BioWare values the opinion of its fans. "Throughout the next year, we will support Mass Effect 3 by working on new content," he says. "And we'll keep listening, because your insights and constructive feedback will help determine what that content should be."
Notably absent from Hudson's spiel is any word on how BioWare intends to honor fan opinion in the future. BioWare is listening, he claims, but whether the company will make any moves to adhere to your collective opinions on what direction the saga of Shepard et alia should take is still largely up in the air.
Feel any better now? You're being heard! No idea if that will actually change anything, but at least the company is aware of your existence beyond the idea that you're all just self-sustaining money fountains, right? That's something, isn't it?

Today Playlogic announced it has licensed the videogame rights to the animated television series Dragon Hunters from French production house Futurikon. The series has been airing on the Cartoon Network since early 2006 and follows two friends and their pet dragon as they hunt down the evil serpents that have infested their planet. The license is good for three years with a two year extension and applies to games for all platforms. The first Dragon Hunters title will be arriving on the Nintendo DS early next year to coincide with a feature film.
"The universe of Dragon Hunters has a high creative value," said Philippe Delarue, CEO of Futurikon. "Moreover, the hunting stories, the humor, and the variety of the Dragons allow for the creation of great videogames."
"Playlogic will be able to use material from the Dragon Hunters CGI movie out in cinemas in 2008, as well as from two seasons of the Dragon Hunters TV series," said Stefan Layer, Playlogic's VP of Sales and Marketing.

Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Registration Committee in Ogun State, Hon. Niyi Fabikun, has debunked claims of disenfranchisement levelled against the committee by aggrieved former members of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), saying its assignment is being commended by all and sundry.
Speaking with Uhuru Times in a telephone interview on Monday, Fabikun also confirmed the extension of the registration exercise by two days, explaining that enough materials have been received from the APC national secretariat in Abuja to take care of shortfall in the ones sent earlier. The CPC had in a press statement lamented alleged sidelining of persons perceived to be opposed to the Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, during the registration with SIA Group members being given unfettered access.
Fabikun said, "That is certainly not true. There is nowhere that is happening in Ogun State, and all the leaders have been commending our efforts so far. The only place with problem, which he cited in Ijebu North Local Government Area has been resolved. That local government has 231 polling booths, and there was a problem on the first day of registration in four of them. I went there personally to take charge of the situation, which we resolved. We also called those that matter in the local government and they came to verify what we did, commending us in the process.
"These people calling themselves CPC should know there is nothing like that today. Everybody, including those who have never joined a political party before are free to register. You cannot have a party inside a party. They should grow out of their activist orientation and become politicians, because real politicians should be busy inviting people to join the party now, not attempting to distract those working to build a formidable party."
Responding to allegations that some local governments may have been cheated concerning membership registers, he said, "There are two membership registers for each of the 236 Wards in Ogun State, and nobody is cheating anyone on that. Even all those who wrote their names in exercise books after the registration forms had been exhausted now have cause to smile because Abuja has just sent more registration forms to us. Their names will be transfered to the forms and they'll get their cards too.
"What APC members should be doing now is to mobilise people for registration, not complaining about resolved issues."

HCM City (VNA) – Vietnam will make use of its home advantage, spectators' support and tactics to obtain three points in the June 13 game with Jordan, part of the 2019 AFC Asian Cup qualification, coach Nguyen Huu Thang said.
At a press conference on June 12, he said the Jordanian team is a strong rival in the qualifying round as its players have good physical strength and most of them are playing in developed football countries.
However, Vietnamese footballers also have good basis, he noted, adding that they are undergoing intensive training and have prepared thoroughly for the match.
Playing on the home field with the support of thousands of spectators, the Vietnamese team will exert every effort to achieve the best result, the coach added.
Meanwhile, coach Abdallah Mesfer of Jordan also said they are determined to gain three points in the game.
He noted most of his Jordanians are playing football overseas and have learned much experience and tactics from many places, which will be their advantage in the match against Vietnam.
The match between Vietnam and Jordan will take place at Thong Nhat Stadium in Ho Chi Minh City at 7 pm of June 13.-VNA

Oyster Shell and Grey Chalcedony Earrings on wires
Oysters have been linked to love from the earliest days of civilization. Even Casanova, that most famous of lovers, is famously said to have dined on 50 oysters -- for breakfast. Floridians are pretty proud of our oysters and our Apalachicola Bay is said to have some of the biggest, best, most beautiful oysters in the world.
The Apalachicola Oyster shell in your Chic Verte piece was collected on the gentle shores of the Gulf of Mexico near Indian Pass, Florida. Chic Verte rescues the prettiest shells that have been discarded by nature.

Finally! Another in the series of PG-13 rated animated flicks from the people at DC. And this time we get the adventures of Wonder Woman. Now, I knows me some comics mythos so I am glad to say that DC was intelligent enough not to stray from the formula. We get a little girl made from clay who springs to life. But, even as origin stories go, this doesn't concern itself with the origin too much. There are bigger fish to fry, like Ares, God OF War who is Hellbent on reducing the world to an ash in his thirst for war. That's enough to keep an Amazonian princess busy for the 74 minute flick. The action moves the story along at a fairly decent clip and there are some truly funny moments as Diana adjusts to the outside world.
The art is reminiscent of anime at it's finest and I really liked their interpretation of Hades in this movie. I don't think I had ever seen him portrayed as such.
The two disc set has a ton of goodies in it, the best of the bunch being a preview of the new Green Lantern flick coming out this summer.
I think DC should just stick to these features as they stay true to the comics which satisfies the hardcore fans and they are able to flex their muscles a little with the more mature rating.
This is just as good as the previous two films and I can not wait for the Green Lantern flick coming down the pipe.
Here's a video to whet your appetite. The DVD releases tomorrow.

"It looks like a great loon lying with its bill flat on the floor of Lake Michigan," said Doug Fuller, director of stewardship with the Little Traverse Conservancy.
That's what people say when they see the northern shore of Little Traverse Bay with its stair-steps of land. Called terraces, those stair-steps are actually drop-off points of ancient lakes that used to cover Michigan.
Almost all of Michigan's topography owes its features to the estimated 5,000 feet of ice that advanced and retreated over the land between 18,000 and 11,000 years ago, said Kurt Yuengling, professor of earth science at North Central Michigan College in Petoskey.
Yuengling said figuring out what formed a landscape is like a crime scene investigation.
"What I tell my students is, in chemistry, you combine these two chemicals and watch what happens," he said. " In geology we walk into a burned-out chem lab and try to figure out what they mixed together."

God is not great, but Hitchens sure is. This past week, Gregg and I were in Virgil's birthplace, Mantua, Italy, for the Festivaletteratura, and so was Christopher Hitchens -- to debate slippery Muslim sophist Tariq Ramadan.
Ramadan must have realized his po-mo blather was no match for the mind of Hitchens, and snaked out of the one-on-one. I guess Ramadan thought he'd have an easy time doing the usual: soft-pedaling the real Muslim goals -- laying waste to western culture and secular democracies, converting or killing the "infidels," and instituting Sharia law.
Luckily, Tariquie didn't get off so easy. Hitchens crashed Ramadan's solo speaking event and had at it from the audience. Here's an excerpt of his account, from Slate (but be sure to go to the link and read Hitchens' dissection of slimey Ramadan's post-modern wrigglings):
In Mantua, (Ramadan) was trying to deal with the question of dual loyalty, as between allegiance to Islam and allegiance to the democratic secular European governments under which Muslim immigrants now choose to live. He redirected the question to South Africa, where, he said, under the apartheid system there was a moral duty not to obey the law. After sitting through this and much else, I rose to ask him a few questions. Wasn't it true that the Muslim leadership in South Africa had actually endorsed the apartheid regime? Wasn't it evasive of him to discuss the headscarf in France rather than the more pressing question of the veil or niqab in Britain? Wasn't it true that imams in Denmark had solicited the intervention of foreign embassies to call for censorship of cartoons in Copenhagen? And was it not the case that he owed his position as an informal cultural negotiator to the fact that his grandfather, Hassan al-Banna, had been the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, an extremist organization of which his father had also been a leader in Egypt?
He described my last question as too "offensive" to deserve an answer. He gave quite a good reply on the Danish point, saying that the imams in question had been a minority and should not have received support from foreign governments. He completely dodged the question of the veil in Britain, ignored my request that he give any reason to believe that women were wearing it voluntarily, and he admitted that the Deobandi Muslim leadership in South Africa had indeed been a pillar of the old regime. On the other hand, he added, some Muslims had been anti-apartheid, and these were the "real" ones. Indeed, on everything from stoning to suicide-murder to anti-Semitism, he argues that the problem is not with the "text" itself, or with Islam, but with misinterpretation of it. How convenient. Ramadan often relies on the ignorance of his Western audiences. He maintained that there was no textual authority for the killing of those who abandon their fealty to Islam, whereas the Muslim hadith, which have canonical authority, prescribe death as the punishment for apostasy in so many words.
When I went to Ramadan's event in the Palazzo d'Arco, I had just finished reading Osama Bin Laden's latest anniversary prose-poem. Here, too, are signs of an act being cleaned up. He brags of the murders of Sept. 11, of course (thus inconveniencing all those who attribute them to Mossad or some mysterious other agency), but he does not forget to cite Noam Chomsky, CIA maverick Michael Scheuer, and the Oliver Stone theory of the JFK assassination. He also exhibits concern for the global-warming crisis, the fate of American Indians, and even the recent collapse of the subprime mortgage market. Everything he says about the war in Iraq, right up to the affected concern for the civilian and military casualties, is presented as if he had hired one of Michael Moore's screenwriters as a consultant. Most unctuous of all, he reminds his audience that the Quran has a whole section in praise of the Virgin Mary, an ecumenical point that I had noticed before. (It is typical of monotheisms to plagiarize each other's worst features, from Abraham onward.) I think that this pitch is probably too crude and crass to work, but it's exactly the crudeness and crassness of Bin Laden that require the emergence of more "credible" middlemen to allay anxiety and offer reassurance. Only six years on, and already the soft mainstreaming of Islamic imperialism is under way.

SF. Favorite love films? Jenny – In the Mood for Love; Before Sunrise; Sabrina
SF. Worst Pick up line? Jenny – Are you Chinese or Japanese?
SF. – The best Pick up line? Jenny – I cook and have a big television
SF. Favorite strain to make love on? Lola – Purple Princess, ooh lala
SF. Whats on your sex-mixtape? Lola – Movement- Ivory (on repeat forever); Then slow it down with Movement – Like Lust, D'Angelo – How does it feel and end or start again, with Childish Gambino – Redbone
SF. Ultimate dream date? Tanérelle – A trip to outer space. That would be out of this world. Literally.
