So... for those that believed it was the Pilots... you are correct. The Pilots were the team on the field for almost all of March 1970. For those that believed it was the Brewers, you are also correct... since before Spring Training would end... the Pilots uniforms would be hastily altered with Brewers logos. (You could still see the Pilots outline, underneath the Brewers logos).

New studies show the quality of light affects people in many different ways. For example, office worker satisfaction and productivity can be positively affected by well-designed illumination.
Building owners and managers have the potential to add value, reduce costs and enhance performance through the application of good lighting. It's no secret that people are attracted to well-lighted public facilities, commercial shopping districts and parks.
Good lighting enhances the mood and desirability of these spaces. It contributes greatly to people's sense of well-being.

Men are cleaning up their act! Men, already the best looking men on the planet, are grooming or "manscaping" more than ever before. Manscaping, the art and science of male grooming, is a growing trend among men everywhere. Guys are getting face lifts, chest lifts, and lipo-suction. Ladies, don't be surprised if you spy a man in your salon getting a facial, a mani-pedi, or even a wax job on that unwanted body hair. Men are increasingly making appointments for specialty grooming services that, until recently, might be considered for women only. They are learning from their female counterparts that the better you look, the better you feel.
There is another reason men have increased their appointments at salons. Most women, it seems, like a neat and tidy man. And many men want to please their women. To be honest, men have been quietly grooming themselves for a very long time. The question for today's man is what and how much to groom while still remaining a manly man of good taste. That decision, of course, remains up to the individual man. Since manscaping is a new trend, finding a discrete and trusted professional service can be quite a challenge. But don't worry men, we found that many salons are now providing dedicated staff members who specialize in all your manscaping needs.
Women, we discovered, are particularly interested in the removal of unwanted hair on their macho man. Men on the "cutting edge" of the manscaping craze are opting for the removal of unwanted hair on their chest, in their ears, nose, and for some men, legs, underarms, and even toes. We also found that women have definite opinions about pubic hair and how it affects that most intimate time between a woman and her man.
So, with all this new inf mind, we decided it wa exactly what women ar see men joining them in that perfect look. Vigor survey Chicago area wo of the most talked abou controversial subjects in grooming, unwanted ha or not to remove, that is We asked women in tw salons to fill out a quick their preferences on ma removal or lack thereof. questioned women from sixteen to sixty-one. The we surveyed had a lot t male hair removal and t talked about area was, n surprisingly, the dreade back hair. The survey s that most women want with a clean back, but th are a few who like the " man" look. Hey, whatev turns you on, right? No of those women who w turned off by a hairy ba only seventeen percent felt comfortable asking their man to take it all o
Apparently, we don't w offend our men or make them think they are any less than perfect. So, let split hairs, it is difficult the one you love to mak changes in his/her appearance. But, the gre news is that of those wo who did ask their man t it off, 75% of those agree fellows did just that.
sassy, sexy,

Gift Mode Strategy and Activation Guide
Gift Mode is a mode where you can purchase to unlock like the Full Auto mode, do you wonder what the "Gift Mode" is on the promotional packages. Use this guide to help you get some simple ideas on how to make Gift Mode works for you.
Mobile Strike
(You pay the same amount, we get 1% of that amount to help fund the site if packs are bought within 24 hours)
Gift mode is a way for you to purchase items to gift or give to other players. The only items that you can gift must be purchased new, it means that you cannot "gift" your existing items from your "my items" inventory. To gift someone after you have activated gift mode, select someone's profile and you should see a Gift Button. Tapping on the gift button will allow you to select items that you want to purchase and gift away.
In this complete Gift Mode guide, we will go through information about gift mode, how to unlock it, how does gift mode work, and why you would want to have it unlocked to build strategies with gift mode that comes in handy.
How to Activate Gift Mode and Cost Consideration
Gift mode in the game must be unlocked when you purchase specially marked promotions with "Gift Mode" icon. These for sale packages can range from $20.00 to $100.00 depending on whether or not you have spent any money in the game before. You can sometimes rarely be offered Gift Mode prices below $20 but those happen really rarely close to non-existent.
Mobile Strike's money stores and promotional packages functions on a tier system. It means that once you have purchase an existing promotional pack, your additional packs would become more expensive. For example, if you have not spent any money in the game and you are looking to spend for the first time, you can sometimes see "gift mode" being offered at $20.00 promotional packs.
However, if you have taken any kind of promotional package before like bonus gold or full auto mode at $5.00. You will almost always see Gift Mode being offered with the $100.00 packages.
This means that if your goal is to create alternative gift mode farm accounts, you should generally avoid buying other packages, and wait for the cheaper gift mode promotional sales. And if you only plan to spend a little money (less than $10) in the game, Full Auto Mode is by far a better investment for your main account versus Gift Mode.

Strategy for When Gift Mode Is Useful
Gift mode at a glance seems useless because someone does have to spend the gold to be gifted. There are a few situations where Gift Mode unlocks can come in handy.
1. Helping Non-Spending Alliance Members
Gift mode is best when you have one or few rich players with the money to spend in the game, these players can more or less carry the weight of multiple players. By offering gold gifts at crucial moments in the game such as war or control point fights, the single rich player with deep wallet can arm his entire alliance to the teeth.
An emergency gifts with speed ups to tackle high tier challenges can also be helpful, especially if an alliance member came short at the last moment.
2. Grow Secondary Accounts Faster
If you plan on having hyper farms or dedicated resource farms later in the game, the gold gifts can be used to help grow your feeder accounts much faster. You do not have to spend real money as long as your main accounts have enough gold to be gifted to your secondary alternative accounts. This is helpful especially for players who do not wish to spend any money on the secondary accounts and decided to go "free" play after their initial investments.
3. Use Gift Mode from Feeder Accounts to Reverse Feeding Main Account with Free Gold
This strategy requires initial lifting and consistent management to pull off. You will basically create secondary feeder or farm accounts. Unlock Gift Mode with these second accounts. Now because gift mode packs can be expensive, so you might want to wait until you get a good promotion.
Use different ways to gain free gold with your feeder accounts, and feed those free gold back into your main in the form of gifts that you need. Because of the amount of work and time for this strategy, you must make sure that you will be playing the game for the long term to make this work.
4. Facilitate Trade Based Trust System with Gold
Lastly, the gift mode can be used as a way to trade your resources or easy kills for "rich players" within the game. For players with deeper wallets and still want to save money with buying resources, sometimes it is much cheaper for them to offer gift items in exchange for resources with other players, versus buying them straight out from the item store. If you know players or trust players with potential trades, gift mode is one of the easiest way for you to get some gold items by exchanging other things or tasks.

The moment many of us have been eagerly awaiting (and at the same time dreading) is finally upon us: footage of Caitlyn Jenner meeting ex-wife Kris Jenner for the first time is out and has us looking forward to the next episode of I Am Cait.
Caitlyn, 65, has had to confront a great deal of her past since her transformation. In addition to handling her children's expectations of who should she be and becoming more comfortable with her new identity as a woman, Caitlyn also felt the time had come to sit down across a table from Kris and air their grievances.
Before they met up at Caitlyn's Malibu digs, the former couple hadn't reportedly spoken for months. Kris hadn't even seen her ex dressed as a woman. Judging by Caitlyn's conversation with friends, you can tell the former Olympian is nervous and not looking forward to this confrontation. After revealing to them that the 59-year-old matriarch hasn't called her in a year, Caitlyn then picks up the phone and invites Kris over.
It's hard to gauge Kris's reaction from these few seconds, but she looks amused and bewildered — I can't honestly say I'd know how to react if I were in her shoes.
More from The Stir: Kim Kardashian & Khloe Take Sides in Caitlyn Jenner's Feud With Kris Jenner
Over the past few weeks, tensions have been mounting on the docuseries as Caitlyn comes to heads with several key people in her life, most notably Khloe and Kim, who aren't happy about the way their stepdad trashed their mom in Vanity Fair.
So much has been written about Kris since Caitlyn came out, but she has more or less kept quiet about the whole thing. It's only fair that she be allowed to have a voice. She and Caitlyn were married for more than 20 years — she has the right to feel shock, betrayal, anger, and hurt as she learns to accept this new reality. I hope, after they've yelled and cried, Caitlyn and Kris can become friends.

Quote:Appellate Court Rules Man Can Sue Hospital Over 'Excruciating' Catheter MishapRead more: losangeles.cbslocal.com
An appellate panel reversed a lower court's dismissal of a lawsuit filed against South Coast Medical Center in Laguna Beach by a man who claimed he suffered "excruciating pain and trauma" when a worker tripped on a hose, yanking a catheter from his penis.
Gregory Harry, a quadriplegic who was being treated at the medical center in June 2009, relied on catheters to urinate because of his paralysis. A custodial worker tripped over a hose connected to the catheter in Harry's hospital room.
Good lord.

4 weeks till christmas today. Its all so close. What has been nice though is the commerical world hasnt started decorating till midway through November for a change. Instead of October. Getting a little better at only putting decorations up for the month of December. The Telecom Christmas Tree in Ponsonby is almost finished being put up & the surrounding bean bags & phone booths in place. I tell you that thing is an awesome way to get people outside, together and just utterly relaxing under a massive christmas tree of beautiful lights. I heart that tree. Farmers Santa Parade this weekend but then its always been in November. Went to my first ever block party tonight. It was kinda cool, nothing flash or fancy just a sausages on bread, music, wine & beer then people from the neighbourhood getting together to meet one another and chat. I tell ya Newton is the greatest neighbourhood to live in, aside from our apartment break ins the area, people and things that happen here are pretty awesome. We got to meet our neighbours and those that turned up are all really nice people. It was just put on by some local body corp members from the apartments across the road from us as they thought it would be just a really awesome chance to meet and have a cruizey afternoon. Which was exactly what it was.
Here is the video I took of Billy Corgan singing Disarm acoustically at the Smashing Pumpkins concert at the Auckland Town Hall this year:
So the diet and the exercise have been completely blown out the water this week. The only thing I have managed to do is alot of walking and a run Monday morning. It has stemmed from this ankle problem plus going to bed FAAAR to late every night. IE: Midnight or 1am. So heading off early tonight for a run/walk tomorrow morning and pick myself back up into the swing of things. I am just going to repeat week 3 as next week pretending that this week never happened as such a failure. I guess its never easy.
Oh and Circus Party WICKED AWESOME FUN!!!! I totally want another one :O)
Anyways till next time:

I've had my eye on a 5k for a few weeks now. It's not until September 11 but that's plenty of time to get training runs in and work on my speed. Gotta beat that PR of 33:43 from the 5k Foot Pursuit on June 18th. Today I decided to go ahead and commit myself to the September 11th Memorial 5k Run. I've paid my price of admission and I'm in.
This race benefits the Sacramento Area Firefighters Widows and Orphans Fund, The Sacramento Police Widows' and Orphans' Aid Association and the Star 6 Foundation. All really good causes. From the description on the home page of the race, it sounds like it's going to be a huge race. They're planning on handing out flags to each running as they cross the finish line to be planted in the lawn to represent the 3000 people who died during 9/11.
The course is described as flat and fast but honestly, looking at the course map I can already tell you it's not flat. Part of the route is the same as the 5k Foot Pursuit. Between miles 2 and 3 is that same long up hill section that had most of mile 1 from Foot Pursuit. I know that I'm going to be doing some hill training before this race. Now if only I knew where to find some hills.
Besides train, the only thing I can do now is pray for cooler weather in September. It can still be pretty hot around here in September. But this year our weather has been so strange, as evidenced by the rain from last Tuesday (in June!). So I'm hoping that it will be cooler, especially since the race doesn't start until 9:11am which is kinda a late start time.
I'm looking forward to this race and hopefully beating my PR from last race.

The most important milestone in a student's life at St. Edward's is not the graduate procession out the red doors of Main Building, but the day that freshmen enter through those doors as part of their induction into our academic community. On that day, the horizons of opportunity, self-fulfillment and professional accomplishment open wider than any student thinks possible.
Our students arrive at a liberal arts university in one of the most creative and economically resilient cities in the nation. The university is deeply rooted in the Austin community, but we have a global mindset. This perspective is manifested in partnerships with 24 universities around the world, where our students study and develop an international worldview.
Students learn in small classes that encourage intellectual discussion. They engage in off-campus projects and internships as part of a St. Edward's education that emphasizes real-world experiences and takes advantage of Austin's resources.
"The university's Holy Cross mission, which has guided us throughout our history, compels us never to educate the mind at the expense of the heart."
All students at St. Edward's explore transformational pathways to knowledge, understanding and self-discovery. Our holistic approach integrates classroom and co-curricular learning, opening doors to a diversity of experiences that challenge students with different, even contrary viewpoints. In turn, students are roused from passive, comfortable thinking and expand their perspectives through exposure to new ideas. These learning experiences train, inform and sharpen the mind, preparing it for a lifetime of identifying, exploring and analyzing problems yet to be encountered and solved.
The university's Holy Cross mission, which has guided us throughout our history, compels us never to educate the mind at the expense of the heart. By learning with their hearts to respect, value and love others — even those different from themselves — students learn that all people are equally entitled to fairness, kindness and justice. They also learn that education is about more than learning, intellectual growth and preparation for vocation. It is about understanding one's role in advancing the cause of social justice in the world.
This distinctive education has led our students to win more than 150 prestigious national and international academic awards, including 60 Fulbright grants since 2008. Year after year, they are accepted into the world's most prestigious graduate and professional schools. And graduates who move directly into their careers see high job placement within a year after graduation.
When our students proceed out the red doors as graduates, they do so empowered to make a difference in their world. The perspectives and skills imparted at St. Edward's guide them as they become future leaders, prepared to address the world's most pressing problems.

After the adjustments made in week 4, it was time to print the final shell for our speaker.
Both parts were printet at the same time, this time with a lot of support structure, which turned out to cause a bit of frustration since it was very hard to remove.
We used knifes and tongs to successfully get of all the unwanted supportstructures. Even though we tried to be very careful, the removal of the material caused some damage to the surface of the speaker.
We concluded that it might have been easier to print the speaker with less support structure, or maybe print from an angle where the support structure had been inside the shell, so it wouldn't have caused visible damage.
After we cleansed the surface from loose material, it was time to glue the parts together. The trapezes we made to connect the two shell-parts, didn't match 100%, so we had to grind the edges a bit – after that it was a perfect fit.
We used second-glue (for plastic), and it was quickly assembled.
To make a smooth surface we used spatula. We gave it two layers and polished it after each one.
A new problem came up, as we figured the hole for the power-supply wasn't nearly big enough. This was clearly something we should have thought of while we drawing the 3D CAD model, but luckily it could be made bigger pretty easily using a drill, if you ignore the fact that our nerves were totally on edge close to deadline. We recommend checking out the size of your power plug before 3D printing.
The wooden handle were cut out and sanded until it fit in the speaker shell.
While polishing the speaker and handle, we had a side-quest to choose the colour for the speaker. Many possibilities were discussed, and the group was torn with multiple opinions. After a visit in a graffiti-shop, the choice fell on navy-blue and light-grey.
Before coloring the surface, we used primer for a better result. This also helped giving a more matte surface.
Now we just needed the laser-cut parts (see making the final prototype 2) and the assembly of the whole speaker (coming soon).

Hello gentle readers.
My poll has expired and my first Colour Series is officially glitter. Yay!! I have chosen seven glitter polishes to feature, tho I might... Might change my mind on one of them... I tried to select glitters that I either haven't featured in a Manicure of the Moment post or haven't shown for a good, long while.
Colour Series Week will begin on Thursday, September First. I thought about waiting until next Monday and running a proper week, but I can't wait that long, so a Thursday start date it is. :D
Time to put up my poll for October. I wonder what I should offer... I think I will put green, purple and orange, three Hallowe'en-y colours in October's Colour Series poll.
Thank you so much for voting. I really enjoy interacting with my readers and getting your input about what you would like to see and I hope that you enjoy my glitter colour series.
Okay, I need to take my dog out, so I will see you all tomorrow for Pink Wednesday. :D
Glitter Wins by a Length!

text: Is anybody in cookie making mode? All done with? Just beginning? Yesterday I needed to get myself in the mood to make my Christmas cookies. So in the spirit of 'do something while you figure out what to do next' I managed to make a quick pan of chewy yet crispy chocolate chips. Today I'm off to make my obligatory Spritz, and at least one more variety. I'm thinking Chocolate Crinkles. Depending on how many dozen I need I'll make maybe 6 different kinds. I haven't calculated out how many dozen i will need yet. I usually gift friends, co-workers, neighbors and family with a cookie box. A big year might be 60 dozen total that I make. I'll keep you posted on progress... So... anybody else?? Cookie Mania??? Or is it just me?

ADELANTO � John Hicks and Jack Marder are different in a lot of ways.
Hicks has a typical catcher's build, standing 6-foot-2 and weighing 205 pounds, has played catcher most of his career and generally hits in the middle of the order.
Marder on the other hand is 5-foot-11 and 185 pounds, hits at the top of the order and didn't start catching until his sophomore year of college.
But one thing they have in common is they have both been major contributors this year while splitting the catching duties for the High Desert Mavericks.
"We have a unique situation here where we have two guys that we think can play in the big leagues," Mavericks manager Pedro Grifol said. "We think both of them are prospects."
Hicks, a fourth-round pick out of Virginia, is hitting .283 with a .367 on-base percentage, while Marder, a 16th-round pick, has a 1.020 OPS and has a team-high eight stolen bases. Defensively, both call their own games and have split the catching duties about evenly.
Grifol was an All-American catcher at Florida State as a player and often does extra work with the catchers. Most of the players arrive roughly four hours before game time, but Marder and Hicks are normally on the field working with Grifol five hours prior to first pitch.
"It's been a pleasure working with (Grifol), just in the three weeks we've been here I feel like I've learned a lot and it's helped me behind the plate," Hicks said. "Just doing the drill work with Pedro and having (Jack), we can feed off of each other and learn from one another. It's really cool."
Marder and Hicks are roommates and often share insights and information, and both of them are growing together and excelling early in the season.
� WATCHING PERFECTION: Just as players were filing into the locker room Saturday afternoon, Chicago White Sox pitcher Philip Humber was putting the final touches on his perfect game against the Seattle Mariners, the parent organization of the Mavericks.
The game was on the big screen television in the clubhouse, and a group of about 20 players and coaches hooted, hollered and cringed with each pitch.
As Humber recorded the final out on a controversial check swing, some of the players and coaches got into a debate about whether Brendan Ryan swung.
Many Mavericks expressed a similar sentiment: While it was fun to watch the 21st perfect game in MLB history, they were bummed that it came against their parent club.
� ATTENDANCE BUMP: For the second straight game, more than 3,000 fans were in attendance Saturday night. It was the first time since June 24-25 of last season that the Mavericks had more than 3,000 fans on back-to-back nights.
� HIGH SCHOOL SHOWCASE: Prior to Saturday's Mavericks game, Victor Valley Christian and Hesperia Christian played at Stater Bros. Stadium. The Royals beat the Patriots 9-3.

One big difference concerns personal space. In terms of physical space, there is very little when you are with Senegalese people. Yesterday I visited my friends in the Medina to watch some TV – the Tottenham v Man Utd game followed by some traditional Senegalese wrestling. The women and children watched the wrestling indoors, whilst the men and I watched the football from benches outside. When it ended I went and joined the wrestling audience. I found a space on the bed and lounged with the others, and soon one of the hostesses was leaning against me, whilst one of the children rested her hand on my shin – both totally unconsciously, with no apology or acknowledgement as we would give in the UK.
When any Senegalese crosses a road with you they will take your arm or your hand; yesterday Gloria (my maid) walked with me to a shop she had recommended, and we seemed to spend most of the journey holding hands or in some way in physical contact. I rather like it, but it is very different from the way the British behave!
The same applies to the wider physical space of your home, it seems. On Monday while I was at work the carpenter delivered a dressing table to my bedroom. Tuesday someone else delivered a spare gas canister. Wednesday it was a delivery of air-conditioning units, on Thursday at 9pm a colleague appeared at my door with a TV technician to try to sort out my TV reception, and when I came home to get some lunch on Friday there was a carpenter repairing a crack in my front door. & of course all the time there is a guard at my gate, to whom I never really know how much to engage in conversation when he lets me in or out. I don't usually want to have a conversation with my guard about where I am going or when I might be back, but I also don't want to be rude, and I recognise that an eight-hour shift sitting at someone's gate must be pretty boring and a few minutes' conversation will be welcomed.
& of course there is Gloria, my maid. When I agreed to engage her I told her she should come two or three times a week, as she saw necessary. But she turns up nearly every day. Saturday morning I returned from buying some vegetables to find her already at work in the kitchen. She had already done four days this week, so I expressed some surprise at seeing her there on a Saturday. She told me the man might come again about my aerial, so she needed to be there to watch him and make sure he didn't steal anything.
She also gave me a long lecture about the relationship between a maid and her employer. How it is her job, not mine, to buy vegetables. Her job, also, to wash the dishes, and to make my bed. She asked me to make a list each week of all the meals I will want, so she can work out what ingredients are needed and do the appropriate shopping (she gets very agitated about the fact that so many Senegalese charge higher prices to whites) – also if I tell her what time I want to eat then she will ensure the meal is ready at the appropriate time. Apparently I should be contented in the knowledge that she will look after my house and household needs in every way. & - a little strange this – if I will be around on a Saturday but have no specific work for her to do, I should call her and she will come and take me on walks to show me different parts of Dakar!
I'm still musing on how to respond. In some ways it would be lovely to be looked after in every way like that. My job is looking like it will be more and more demanding in the near future, plus I start French lessons next week and my Open University course materials have just appeared. But I treasure my freedom, my independence. I have for many years had to repress a shudder when friends have to phone home to tell a partner they will be late, or worse, have to turn down a last minute invitation because dinner will be waiting on the table. I love the freedom to do what I like, where I like, when I like – to not be answerable to anyone. But if I have to leave a list on a Monday morning of what I will want to eat on Thursday evening and at what time, I will have lost a lot of that freedom. & can you imagine if I had a man to stay overnight? My guard would know, my maid would know – enough to put anyone off!
I told my maid that her hard work, her high standards of cleanliness and her desire to look after me reminded me a lot of my mother – and suddenly I was enveloped in a big, long, hug. I think I shall have to play this one very carefully…

This is an interesting dilemma, mostly because I suspect that once you embark on a close involvement with Gloria, it would be hard to later decide that you would prefer more independence! But on the other hand, I too am pleased that you have someone to look after you.
Your comment about bringing home a man also raised a question for me about whether you would easily fit into a relationship with a Senegalese man...based on your comments about women and men watching the TV separately. You are outside with the men, rather than with the women and children, anyway, maybe this is a question for email rather than the public forum of your blog comments!

You're probably right Alison about my not fitting easily into a relationship with a Senegalese man. In fact I have been single for so long that I am not sure I would fit easily into a relationship with any man. It would also be complicated by the fact that white women here are seen as promising relationship material, regardless of looks, personality, etc, simply on the basis that they are assumed to be rich. So if a single man (or a married muslim man who signed 'polygamous' on his first marriage certificate) tried to start a relationship with me I would always have it in the back of my mind that he may just see me as a meal ticket for him and his extended family. Indeed people offering/seeking friendship may also be thinking like that as it is customary here to share one's wealth widely. Difficult to have a balanced response as I don't want to be taken advantage of but also don't want to treat everyone with suspicion.

It has come to my attention that I am not a nice person. Have I ever been?
I think I was once.
Yet lately I am struggling with thoughts and reactions that show a side of me that I can't admire.
What am I to do?
I'm going to start by being honest. I'm going to get to the heart of the unhappiness in my life that is allowing me to live with envy, distaste, anger, distance, criticism of others, etc.
I am moving (once more?) into the person who is so joyous that she loves to see joy in others. A person who is so comfortable in herself that she is drawn to those who are who they are. I may be quite old to be working so hard on this.
But it is never to late to let the sunshine into my life.

About the Artist
This week at the art galleries I had the opportunity to meet the artist Tony Ngyuen. At the moment Tony is a fifth year student at CSULB, he is on the pursuit for a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Metal. Tony is from Gardena, while his parents are originally from Vietnam. He first started off his art career in drawing, then changed to painting eventually changing it again to illustration. He stated he was the first in his family to pursue in a career in art, and he is very passionate in the work he does.
Formal Analysis
Each piece in the gallery are on different stands, so you get to have a good view of each. There is a candy dispenser when you first walk in filled with empty plastic containers. Then there was another stand that had metal glove sort of speak, it looked like if it was meant for some type of armor. There was also a metal helmet, with giant type antlers hanging out. On another stand there was a giant necklace hanging off the upper body part of a mannequin. Also on this stand was little silver metal figures, that seemed like if they were children. Then there was also another stand that different styles of rings and a necklace.
Content Analysis
Tony described the meaning behind his exhibition and he stated his goal was to allow the viewers get a nostalgic feeling, since many of these items represent his childhood memories. He stated how he wants to carry his childhood memories with him forever, he does not want to let them go. He created the vending machine because as a child this fascinated him as you had many options for just a quarter and a twist. With the piece of the necklace and the children around it, the necklace has four small bridges, two feet on each and one big bridge with four feet. Each of the small bridge represents Tony's brothers and their journey of life. The big bridge was to represent his parents. Tony explained that in his parents' hometown in Vietnam, there was a war going and there was only one way of getting out of town on a bridge.
Synthesis/My Experience
When I first stepped into the exhibit, I enjoyed to see all the metal pieces. They were all detailed and carefully put together. When getting to learn the background on each piece, it made more sense on the meaning behind the exhibit. Tony did an excellent job on getting his point across on his work. Each thing you could see the time and effort he spends on making it and you could really understand the history behind the pieces.

Steering Committee Meeting Agenda
The Steering Committee is the governing body of the Five County Association of Governments.

This is in accordance with recent changes in Utah laws. Unless otherwise indicated on the Agenda, all Steering Committee meetings will begin at 1:00 p.m. Our Association's Steering Committee meetings are open to the public and the public is invited and encouraged to attend.
Click HERE to view the Steering Committee Agenda for the next meeting as posted on the Utah Public Meeting Notice website.
Also provided on that site is a link to view and/or download the unapproved "draft" minutes from the previous Steering Committee meeting, as well as a copy of the information "packet" that is mailed out to the Committee members one week prior to the meeting. A map with directions to the meeting location is provided on that site.

Next Meetup
What we're about
Welcome to the grass roots, people-powered, community calendar of events for the Witches & Pagans Community in Los Angeles!
There are several new, important differences between this and most other Meetups. The most important difference is that from now on ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE WELCOME TO CREATE AND ANNOUNCE MEETUP EVENTS - as soon as you send a request to be upgraded to Event Organizer status via the 'suggest' a meetup link.
Due to the recent change in status/spammer ownership, there does appear to be one remaining change. It looks likes Meetup.com altered their policies regarding open calendars, such that groups started after 2014 are not able to allow all members to post events. Instead, admins can upgrade any member to "Event Organizer" status, allowing them to create, edit, and delete their own events as they like. When our meetup changed hands our page changed to the new model.
At the top of our meetup you'll still see that it says "Suggest a Meetup" + except now, when you press the button, it doesn't post your suggestion as an event on the calendar, it sends a message to the admins.
You can read about Meetup's policy here: Member Suggest Meetups (https://www.meetup.com/help/customer/portal/articles/865438-member-suggested-meetups/?urlkey=help&topic=help&__topic_subdomain=1). "
EVERY SINGLE COMMUNITY MEMBER can post ANY EVENT you like on the new Community Calendar - As soon as you request Event Organizer status due to the changes on Meetup.com (see above) - And you can even announce it yourself immediately the entire community without approval as well.
Here is - step by step - how to create a grass roots Meetup event on the Community Calendar:
1. Join the Community.
2. Go to the 'Let's Meetup and...' prompt to suggest request to be made an "Event Organizer"
3. Event Organizers may add Meetups by filling out the 'Let's Meetup and...' form
4. Meetups added by Event Organizers are turned into official Meetups immediately.
5. Event Organizer-added Meetups with a date selected will appear on the Calendar
6. Event Organizer-added Meetups without a date selected will appear only on the 'Upcoming' Meetups list on the Meetup Group's home page
7. The Event Organizer who adds the Meetup may choose to announce the Meetup to the Meetup Group's members imnediately.
Finally, the community mailing list is currently moderated, but informative messages will be approved to reach the entire community!
Please Use the Message Boards for ongoing conversations.
These are powerful community building tools. Please use them responsibly.
This is our community. Let's nurture and care for it.

Assignment-1 Understanding the Concepts
Net present value (NPV) and payback rule are both capital budgeting techniques. They are required to evaluate capital budgeting projects so proper wealth-maximizing decisions can be made. They reflect the time value of money since cash outlays for plant and equipment occur now, while the benefits occur in the future.

Playful Prisms is an interactive artwork in Children's Hospitals of MN, St. Paul Branch.
Playful Prisms started as an exploration of color: warm colors (yellows, oranges and pinks) versus cool colors (blues, purples and greens) and the natural progression of sunlight throughout the daytime into night. It deepened into an interactive study of colors, patterns, shapes and objects as they relate to each other. Visitors are encouraged to turn the orange handles until each display case is filled with matching surfaces– all four prisms can be turned to show the flat painted sides (which make a picture), pattern of washers, or collection of found objects. All twelve prisms may be matched to form larger patterns across the wall, or rearranged by each visitor for maximum enjoyment.

Account suspended after issues of flagging and 5 customers request for services ignored by Uship after uship canceled booked and dispatched loads and refuses to resolve issues about account suspensio
Uship consumer services do whatever they want to do... my company ( a legit company was suspended and all booked 7 total loads was canceled by uship) they don't even try to resolve any questions they just suspend youR account.
Customers was calling after this happened trucks dispatched for pickup had was left sitting The customers even called uship requesting our company and uship didn't try to revolve anything They just gave a 90% refund to the customer and leave them high and dry. Theses were time sensitive loads and they just deny any request made from customer or Carrier. When you talk to uship member support the just say send an email and when you do they don't want to resolve any issue.
I guess once you have a issue with suspended account you are going to be suspended because they don't want to resolve the matter with a legit trucking but have hundreds of illegal company's transporting freight with no problems as long as uship gets paid. Company never requested that shipments to be
Product or Service Mentioned: Uship Account.
Reason of review: Poor customer service.
Monetary Loss: $4700.
Preferred solution: Deliver product or service ordered.
Sir my uship Account is suspended please Reopen my account
It seems they are so afraid a shipper will discover that in the never ending spiral to the bottom feeding prices they have to make money.A lot of it to cover up the fact they are not a nuetral party.The charges they put on top of the transporters offer is outrages.Their goal is to not let the shipper know of the fees added to the cost.If any transporter gets out of line on just about anything these rich bullies do they are suspended.They make the rules as they go.They favor ignorant lowballing fools who see their show Shipping Wars and decide they can get into the trucking business.Their business plan is biased and corrupt.

Good rest overnight, GirlRob's cough finally moving towards recovery stage. Lovely sunny morning, cereal with kiwi fruit and yogurt outside watching blackbirds, starlings, pigeons, white wagtails pecking among grass, and ducks and herons flying overhead.
BoyRob tested hot water - yay, another system working, and emptied toilet cassette (thankful yet again that the outdoor shower hose is on the same side, for easy rinsing). Wanderoos fortified themselves with hot showers, then went to pick up batteries, and took them back to Mercedes to install. GirlRob again set up devices for charging, opening mini iPad ready to write up blog notes in canteen. Turned on SIM card, roaming briefly to download emails - devastated to read one from Computer Kister that laptop's on/off switch is irretrievably broken and can't be repaired in Europe (Toshiba Radius was only released in Australia). Oh no, oh no! can continue to take photos and write blog notes, but can't download and edit photos or post notes to blog and insert images. This is a disaster for GirlRob, however will the blog posts be kept up to date?? Rang son-in-law Neil in Oz, who agreed to try to organise warranty repair on laptop if sent back to Oz, plus resend to us along track - eg Athens? Sent message to Julia and Eskil re contacting friend in Bratislava that we now can't be there before 4th June.
Vehicle batteries were successfully installed, so off we went to a different supplier and ordered ones for house (nobody keeps anything in stock - it comes from central warehouse overnight), then found fabricator to see if they could enlarge holders for new batteries. They were on lunch, so we sat in truck and had our salami salad too. The guy who looked at job was not enthusiastic about our small fiddly job and sent us off to "squeeze" batteries in! Nothing more could be done on vehicle today, so went on to computer store, gave them portable drive for backup of laptop hard drive (spent an inordinate amount of time at counter while owner filled in his report in English of why he couldn't repair anything!) and ordered a car charger with 4USB ports (to use whilst driving, and to avoid using internal inverter/ house batteries for charging). At information centre located a different Stellplatz with access to washing machines, found out Schweinfurt does actually stand for Pig City which we'd assumed, bought piggy key ring for GirlRob's camper door key which keeps being misplaced, ("Little Pig, Little Pig, let me come in..."), and bought piggy postcards - the oldest grandson should enjoy Albert Schweinstein!!
Located new Stellplatz along forest track, and given machines were actually available, GirlRob collected sheets, towels and clothes for hours of washing and drying. BoyRob took opportunity to fit to the ceiling, the new fan he'd brought over from Oz. Unfortunately the wires shorted out in the process. He gave it up in favour of concocting a salami pasta dinner. Over our cuppa Wanderoos agreed this has been a "one step forward, two steps back" trip to date...

Beautiful Photos Of Minimalist But Dramatic Details Found In Urban Architecture

We love featuring the work of creatives who have an eye for the beauty found in everyday things—and Hamburg-based photographer Sebastian Weiss is definitely one of them.
In the series "Urban Shapes", he captures stunning contemporary urban architecture, with a clear focus on the building's minimalist but dramatic details.
Found in cities like San Francisco, Helsinki and Toulouse, these buildings may already be visually striking on their own, but it is Weiss' skilful composition that turns them into beautiful abstract art.
Follow the photographer on Instagram for frequent doses of his gorgeous take on "concrete aesthetics" from the world's urban jungles.

A FATHER-of-three died after he was ejected from a sports car which crashed at speed in a 20mph zone in Leeds before rolling over a number of times, an inquest heard.
Dale Abbott, 27, suffered a fatal head injury after the 2004 Mazda RX8 flipped over on Lingwell Road in Middleton, Wakefied Coroner's Court was told.
The inquest heard the car had struck a kerb and a metal bollard just after 8.30pm on November 29 2016.
Mr Abbott, who ended up in the garden of a house on Lingwell Road, was pronounced dead at the scene after attempts to revive him failed.
Toxicology tests showed Mr Abbott, of Sissons Street, Middleton, had used cannabis and cocaine.
The inquest heard Mark Peat told police that he was the front seat passenger in the Mazda and that Mr Abbott had been driving when the crash happened. Mr Peat told police that neither man had been wearing a seatbelt.
Sgt Ann Drury of West Yorkshire Police told the inquest: "Mark said Dale was driving at approximately 50mph."
Sgt Drury told the inquest that evidence led police to believe Mr Abbott was the driver at the time of the crash.
Area Coroner Jonathan Leach asked Sgt Drury: "As a result of the enquries made by your colleagues, was it possible to say who was the driver? Is it possible to say with 100 degree certainty who was the driver and who was the passenger?"
Sgt Drury replied: "No."
West Yorkshire Police accident investigator James Viney said he concluded that the driver of the Mazda had failed to negotiate a chicane on the road and hit the kerb.
Mr Viney said: "At some point during the roll over one of the occupants has been ejected from the vehicle."
Mr Viney said damage to the car was consistent with a high speed impact.
Reading a witness statement from Mr Abbott's mother Clare Kilburn, Coroner Mr Leach said she heard about the accident and went to the scene, adding: "A woman I knew grabbed me and said 'don't go near, it's not nice' however I did go and saw he was gone."
Mrs Kilburn said her son had three children and had passed motorbike test, but had not passed his car driving test.
The inquest heard witness Baiba Ventniece was stood at a bus shelter on Lingwell Road when she saw the crash after spotting the car being driven " really fast."
Reading her witness statement, Mr Leach said she saw the car in the air before coming down with a loud bang, adding: "The car was going back over front, back over front three or four times, still coming towards me."
Baiba Ventniece added in the statement: "I was in shock. I could not believe what had just happened. This only happens in films."
Mark Peat was due to give evidence to the inquest via video link from HMP Leeds, but technical problems meant it was not possible.
Coroner Mr Leach adjourned the inquest until August 29 when Mr Peat's evidence is due to be heard.

Lady GaGa earns an estimated $30m (£18.9m) every year from her Twitter page.
The singer's interaction with her fans is responsible for around a third of her $90m (£56.8m) fortune, experts at the Wall Street Journal claim.
The figure was calculated by taking into account GaGa's 20.7m followers, who are more likely to buy her music legally because of the bond she has created with them.
The publicity and direct access Twitter gives GaGa was also considered when coming up with the numbers.
Marketing expert John Bonini explained: "[GaGa] really engages [her followers] and retweets stuff they say as if she was one of them."
GaGa set a worldwide record earlier this month when her follower count on Twitter rose above 20m.
The star has also revealed that she will not talk to the press after an interview with Oprah Winfrey is broadcast on Sunday (March 18).
Watch the music video for Lady GaGa's 'Marry The Night' below:

Who would imagine that more than 100 people would pack the Museum of South Texas History gallery in Edinburg on a 100-degree Sunday to see a children�s play?
Yet �Bird Brains� became one of the unique one-act plays in Valley history June 28.
Pedro Garcia, author and director, considered requests by dozens of people who could not get in and asked for a second performance. But the entire cast, four 12-year-old girls, were exhausted by this unusual comedy with a message.
Future performances can be arranged by e-mailing Garcia at email@example.com.
Nearly every civic club and all schools would appreciate this show created by a theater veteran and Screen Actor Guild member living in McAllen. He has worked on more than 100 productions as actor, writer, director, producer and casting director.
The four �Bird Brains� are: Karli Scalise as Clarity the Fairy, attending IDEA in Palmview; Paola Romero as Fernando the Great Kiskadee, attending Harwell Junior High in Edinburg; Rubette Flores as Chispita the Hummingbird, attending IDEA in Palmview; Regina Torres as Wanda the North American Mockingbird, attending St. Joseph�s Catholic School in Edinburg.
Their costumes, including bird masks, are magnificent by any standards. The fights and quarrels between the birds produce a rare effect, something this reviewer for 100-plus stage plays never had witnessed before.
It will be a shame if this play is not repeated for many other audiences. Like the museum where it was made public, this one-act curiosity provides unusual artifacts about the history (this time of birds!) for the unique Lower Rio Grande Valley.
The preview described it accurately as follows: �Bird Brains� is a heart-warming story about living in the Lower Rio Grande Valley and loving it. Produced by a playwright who plans to introduce this to national television via computer animation, it deserves national and Texas recognition.
Most Americans never have visited this �Magic Valley.� �Bird Brains� and its creator should have a chance to see this on national, state-wide TV and stages. It could give more recognition to the Valley than the legions of public relations people who strive, largely in vain, to teach the rest of the USA where the Magic Valley is, and why it is different.
It can be performed for both students and adults. So e-mail Pedro Garcia (see above) and ask where it will be staged next. Maybe he can use your help in marketing and fundraising for a successful and stylish computer animation of this RGV grand play. It is no mere �kids play.� The following credits show what a professional operation it is:
Production Credits: Stage Manager Yvonne Gutierrez, Music and Lyrics Eddie De La Garza and Carlos Gonzalez, Choreography Amanda Sasser, Costume Designer Noemi Alejandro, Juan Cuestas & Jesse Murguia, Back Drop Painting Omar De Leon, Bird Brains Painting Robert Vi�a, Make-up Zack Hazlett & Parents, and Production Assistant Daniel Roman.
See it, even if you must wait in line. Look for it someday soon at the movies and on TV, when the Valley finally gets a hit film and TV show.

Bitcoin touched the benchmark of $1200 recently and have been trading above $1000 for quite some days now; however, former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan believes that it is a bubble. He says it is not a currency but bubble. In his interview to Bloomberg Television he was candid about the virtual currency amidst the news that Beijing regulators are planning to ban Chinese financial institutions from using it for any kind of transactions.
Alan Greenspan, the person who is blamed for being the leading cause of the subprime mortgage crisis, says, "You really have to stretch your imagination to infer what the intrinsic value of Bitcoin is. I haven't been able to do it." He adds, "But if you ask me, 'Is this a bubble in Bitcoin?' He reiterated that Bitcoin is not backed by anything and laughed when asked if Bitcoin is the new gold.
His construct is based on the fact that investors would not question the intrinsic value of gold and traditional currencies; however, they would if it is Bitcoin; however, the way Bitcoin is moving up in almost all parts of the world, he sounds wrong on it. Investors fairly well understand Bitcoin and investing carefully for higher returns.
The traditional financial system is being challenged by Bitcoin and that is visible from the statement made by Alan Greenspan. Bitcoin has clearly got a yes nod from a court in the U.S., some countries consider it a valid tender and thousands of venders accept them in exchange of goods and services.
Alan Greenspan doubts about the backing of Bitcoin and says he does not understand where the backing of Bitcoin is coming from. He says that there is no fundamental issue of capabilities of repaying it in anything which is universally acceptable, which is either intrinsic value of the currency or the credit or trust of the individual who is issuing the money, whether it's a government or an individual.
The U.S. Departments and Judiciary Have Not Yet Objected to Virtual Currencies
His is statements which are contradicted by a statement by a U.S. Justice Department official who in a hearing at a U.S. Senate committee last month said that Bitcoins could be legal means of exchange. A similar statement came from Mythili Raman, acting assistant attorney general at the department's criminal division when he said that virtual currencies are not illegal.
Similarly, there was no objection on the part of departing Fed chairman Ben Bernanke who told the Senate committee the U.S. central bank had no plans to regulate the currency. He then had said that although the Federal Reserve generally monitors developments in virtual currencies and other payments system innovations, it does not necessarily have authority to directly supervise or regulate these innovations or the entities that provide them to the market.

Property-led urban redevelopment in contemporary Chinese cities often results in the demolition of many historical buildings and neighbourhoods, invoking criticisms from conservationists. In the case of Beijing, the municipal government produced a series of documents in the early 2000s to implement detailed plans to conserve 25 designated historic areas in the Old City of Beijing. This paper aims to examine the recent socio-economic and spatial changes that took place within government-designated conservation areas, and scrutinise the role of the local state and real estate capital that brought about these changes. Based on recent field visits and semi-structured interviews with local residents and business premises in a case study area, this paper puts forward two main arguments. First, Beijing's urban conservation policies enabled the intervention of the local state to facilitate revalorisation of dilapidated historic quarters and to release dilapidated courtyard houses on the real estate market. The revalorisation was possible with the participation of a particular type of real estate capital that had interests in the aesthetic value that historic quarters and traditional courtyard houses provided. Second, the paper also argues that economic benefits generated by urban conservation, if any, were shared disproportionately among local residents, and that local residents' lack of opportunities to 'voice out' further consolidated the property-led characteristic of urban conservation, which failed to pay attention to social lives

The philanthropist and Quaker banker, Richard Dykes Alexander (see Blue plaques page) set up the Ipswich Ragged School in a cottage in St Clements Church Lane in 1849. See the 1881 map on our Street furniture page re: the Water Works to see it marked 'Sunday School'. The purpose-built school in Waterworks Street remains today and came under the influence of Joshua George Newman who taught reading, writing, domestic skills and craft trades to up to 135 destitute children at a time over nineteen years at the school. The Boys' School is a well-known survivor of a bygone era standing on Waterworks Street, or rather it would stand in the middle of the current Waterworks Street, had the fascia not been moved back from the road and the building shortened by by about ten feet when the street was widened in 1984 as part of the Ipswich 'Eastern Gyratory' traffic scheme (which also demolished some fine old buildings and turned the most ancient part of the town around the Wet Dock into a race-track).

Wooden furniture makes your home look classy and beautiful. It certain has charm and you want to protect it so you have years of service from your favourite piece. However, you know that despite your extreme care, accidents can happen.
Like any furniture you use every day, wooden furniture can get stained when you put your food and things on table. You tend to spill things and sometimes things can get dragged across your precious wooden table. The end result can be a stubborn stain or scratch.
Firstly you can prevent things like this from happening.
Use placemats, heat protection mats, coasters or a table cloth.
Have a no food or drink in the lounge room rule.
Put newspaper down first when the children are doing craft work.
No matter how careful you are, you may still get a few mishaps from time to time and when you do here is how to deal with them.
Stains and scratches can become eyesores which can damage the appearance of your wooden furniture. Before it happens, you need to remove the stain and keep your wooden furniture in top condition. Here are some common stains:
Make sure to treat the stain right away. For recent and mild stains, cover the stain with clean and a thick blotter eg pad of paper towel or an old towel. Press down for a few minutes. The stain should be gone but if not, apply a small amount of mayonnaise to the area, don't rub. Allow to sit overnight. Then wipe off the mayo and dry it with a clean cloth.
Use a paste of boiled linseed oil or you can use a few drops of non-soaping ammonia on a clean cloth. Rub the surface using a clean cloth and wipe it dry. Don't forget to wax or polish it for that shiny finish.
Blot the spilled nail polish as soon as possible. For dry nail polish, use a fine steel wool and dipped it with wax and rub. Polish for that shiny effect.
Your furniture got some stains? Don't panic. For every stain, there is a solution. Just don't forget to act as soon as possible to keep your wooden furniture stain free for longer.
For your wooden furniture needs, contact West Coast Timbers. Whether you are redecorating or redesigning your home, we have the right pieces for you. Ring us to discuss your needs.

EPA Colludes with Monsanto – We Can Stop It!
Last month, court documents revealed that Monsanto worked closely with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to protect its flagship product, Roundup. For decades, industry-funded research has concluded that glyphosate, an active ingredient in Roundup, is safe for humans. But, now we're learning that may not be the case. Roundup is the most widely used weed…Read More

Game One: Madden NFL 10
One day the wiki decided to have an online video game challenge. First AgentP said, "Let's play Madden NFL 10". Then J.Severe said, "OK". They played and AgentP (with the Colts) defeated J.Severe's Patriots 104-17. "I went easy on you", said AgentP. J.Severe replied, "If that's 'easy', then I would hate to do 'hard', but I can do RANDOM!" AgentP yelled back, "Well, you may be random, but I am RANDOMEST!" J.Severe then proceeded to karate chop AgentP in the head. Then Daisy56 came along with her rubber chainsaw and pretended to attack J.Severe.
Game Two: NEW Super Mario Bros. Wii
Then Daisy56 challenged J.Severe to a game of Coin Battle on NEW Super Mario Bros. Wii. With 45 seconds remaining, J.Severe had the lead 78 coins to 77 coins. J.Severe knocked Daisy56's character backwards to get one coin with 35 seconds left, but Daisy56 slid down a hill and picked up 2 coins. The battle was tied with 28 seconds on the clock. "You can't defeat me," said J.Severe as he attempted to jump off of Daisy56's character to gain 4 coins, but Daisy56's character jumped out of the way to spin-jump for nine more coins. With 15 seconds left, J.Severe attempted a long jump from the far left, but his character was defeated by a Goomba. As Daisy56 popped his bubble (it had to be fair), there were only 4 seconds left. J.Severe fell and with 1 second left, landed just centimeters away from a Star Coin. The battle was over and Daisy had won, 88-79.
Game Three: MLB 10 The Show
J.Severe then started a game of MLB 10 The Show. AgentP dueled him with the Tampa Bay Rays (against J.Severe's San Diego Padres). In the bottom of the 17th inning, J.Severe had a runner on third and two outs. AgentP decided to bring in his only remaining reliever, Randy Choate, to pitch to Oscar Salazar, pinch hitting for pitcher Heath Bell. Choate got two strikes on Salazar. AgentP thought he should throw a fastball inside since J.Severe seemed to be a bad fastball hitter. AgentP then rethought and decided to throw a high-outside slider to Salazar. Salazar hit a line drive into right field. Right fielder Ben Zobrist ran in full speed but missed on a diving attempt. J.Severe had not sent his runner, Everth Cabrera, to home yet. Zobrist grabbed the ball and threw it home, getting Cabrera by an inch. In the 18th, AgentP pinch-hit John Jaso for Choate. With two outs, Jaso hit a home-run ball. J.Severe's left fielder, Kyle Blanks, missed the leaping catch at the wall, but deflected it onto the warning track. Blanks threw the ball to second base to get Blalock, and was successful. In the bottom half of the inning, the first two batters walked against Willy Aybar, the emergency pitcher. Aybar was replaced by starter James Shields, and was sent to first base, with Jaso catching. Shields threw a 2-2 curveball to first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, and Gonzalez hit a liner to second. The second baseman, Sean Rodriguez, dived to catch the ball, tagged the base for the second out, and did not throw to first for the out. J.Severe decided to pinch run Yorvit Torrealba for Gonzalez. The next batter was third baseman Chase Headley, who hit a deep ball to the right-field corner. Zobrist got the ball and threw it to shortstop Jason Bartlett, who tossed it to Aybar at first base, who fired home. The throw was flying over the catcher, Jaso's head. Jaso leaped and threw the ball at Shields, running in from the mound to cover home. Torrealba slid low and tripped Shields (legally), and scored the game's winning (and only) run. "What the fried chicken?" asked AgentP. J.Severe said, "I won! I won! FRIED CHICKEN ATTACK!," and grabbed a fried chicken leg and threw it at AgentP's head, however he grabbed it and ate it.
Game Four: NHL 2K10
The loser, AgentP, challenged Daisy56 to NHL 2K10. Playing as the Philadelphia Flyers, AgentP scored an early goal with center Danny Briere. Daisy's Dallas Stars missed a last-second shot by Mike Modano to lose, 1-0. "I'd barely ever played that before," was the response by both sides. AgentP decided that Fried Chicken would be the prize for the winner, in the sense that the winner would be allowed to throw a piece of fried chicken at each "loser", then eating some.
Game Five: Monopoly
Daisy56 and J.Severe played Monopoly. The two were tied at $13750 with 2 turns left. Daisy56 got $750 on a property and J.Severe tried to get the same but was 50 bucks behind. Neither team got anything in the last turn. "¡Le batí en Monopolio!" said Daisy56. The previous phrase is Spanish for "I beat you in Monopoly!" J.Severe said "What on earth does that mean?", to which Daisy56 replied "I beat you in Monopoly!"
Game Six: Poptropica (Hoops)
They then went on a computer to Poptropica and played Multiplayer Hoops in "Moldy Baguette Inn," the Counterfeit Island multiplayer room. AgentP faced Daisy56 and won 5-1. Daisy56's lone basket came at the last minute with a lowered hoop. "I won!" said AgentP as he raced over to Daisy56's computer.
Game Seven: Wii Play (Laser Hockey)
They went back to the Wii and played Wii Play. They decided to play Laser Hockey. AgentP said "I'm not very good at this, so I'll probably lose." Sure enough, he was shut out by Daisy56, 2 to 0. "Darn," said AgentP. At this point, J.Severe knew he was eliminated.
Game Eight: Mario Super Sluggers
The championship game was Mario Super Sluggers. AgentP decided to use the team of Bowser, Bowser Jr. Dry Bones (x3), Dark Bones, Magikoopa (x3), and Hammer Bro, as well as Boomerang Bro. Daisy56 used Daisy, Peach, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Donkey Kong, and Baby DK. In the fifth (of 5) inning, AgentP came up. Two Dry Bones struck out and the third walked. Dark Bones hit a double to center. Daisy then walked Bowser Jr. to load the bases (the score is tied at 11) for Bowser. Bowser clobbered a curve from Daisy into right field. He ran as fast as he could and made it home just in time. Hammer Bro then flied out to left field. In the bottom of the 5th, Mario came up with one out. He hit a triple to left, bringing up Luigi. Luigi hit a deep pop fly to center field. Mario stayed on third as center fielder Boomerang Bro caught the fly, then tagged up and sprinted for home. Boomerang Bro threw a rocket for home. Bowser, the pitcher, caught the ball and ran toward Mario. Mario was in a "Close Play", and the button to press was (A). Daisy56 pressed the button quicker than AgentP and scored. Then AgentP got Yoshi to pop out to first to end the game and the series.
The Final Standings

Check Out Our Ladies
Yes that shameful headline is intended to maximize hits by luring in some possibly pervy Google searchers. Sadly, such is the lot of Canadian soccer: we have to garner interest any way we can. No slight at all is intended to the wonderful gals of our Women's national team. Quite the opposite, in fact.
Tonight marks the kickoff, literally, of the Canadian women's quest for simultaneous Gold Cup glory and a berth in the 2011 Women's World Cup. And it's our duty as soccer-loving Canucks to support them, if not by shooting on down to Cancun (as if we actually needed more reason to go to Cancun on a blustery October day), then at least by watching them play.
It's a sad paradox within the world of Canadian soccer fandom that support for the men's team comes naturally to us – even though they often make it very hard, by being not very good – and support for the women is excruciatingly difficult to muster – even though the women are amongst the best in the world, miles ahead of the men in their relative ability to compete on a world stage.
It's no surprise, really: Women's sports generally suffer from a dearth of support when compared to their male equivalent. But that's no excuse: If you're a supporter of Canadian soccer, and wish – as so many of us do – to see the game develop beyond the frustrating rut it's been in for years, it falls on you to support the women as well as the men.
This is not just rhetoric, by the way, not just supporting for moral reasons or for supporting's sake: rooting for the women's team can only help the national program as a whole. First and foremost, there's money in it. Wins mean advancement, more games more broadcast fees, more ticket sales and – hopefully – more prize money. There's not a lot of money in the women's game, I grant, but there is some, and the cash-strapped CSA can use every dime it can get. Whatever we get goes into the pot, and could mean the difference, say, between a friendly against a second-tier opponent (with the resulting lower amount of public interest, fewer tickets sold, less chance of Canadian broadcast and less chance of helping the program move forward) and a top-tier opponent, with all the benefits (beyond a 5-0 drubbing) that would come with that.
What's more, the Women's Gold Cup (and the Women's World Cup) is televised (or internet-avised, at least). It's always a bit of a ratings risk when Canadian TV chooses to broadcast a Canadian soccer game – that's why they do it so rarely – and women's soccer must be doubly so. The CBC is far and away the best supporter of soccer in this country, even if the games are usually confined to the website and the shady "CBC Bold." But be sure – the CBC pays attention to who's watching, and if a women's game gets decent ratings on a Friday evening, it can't hurt the prospects of convincing the powers that be when the V's call for someone to put the MNT v Lithuania on TV.
I could also go into the pool of support for the women's game, and huge potential for growing the game through the soccer-loving girls of this country, but Squizz has already done so much better than I can.
In the end, there's a more simple and direct reason to support the Canadian women for the next couple of weeks and beyond: they're good enough to deserve your support. You don't need to consider how the women's team's success or failure could help the men's team because supporting the women is worth it in and of itself. CSG's Squizz found, in his interview with Canadian captain – and Women's World Player of the Year finalist – Christine Sinclair, that the women are a team in the best sense of the word, and have confidence in themselves and each other. As well they should: Their victory at this year's Cyprus Cup handed Canada an all-too-rare bit of soccer silverware, and they backed it up with an electric 3-1 friendly win over China in September – the first ever Canadian victory at BMO Field.
The bottom line is if you can struggle through a horrendously choppy non-English web feed to see the MNT fall 3-0 to Macedonia, surely you can tune in tonight to watch Sinclair & Co. trounce Trinidad and Tobago.
6 p.m. EST on cbc.ca, replayed at 9:30 p.m. on CBC Bold (but we'll all be drunkenly celebrating victory by then, right?)
One Response to "Check Out Our Ladies"
Don't know if you're going to do a match review but CONCACAF linesmen are either a) blind or b) do not understand the offside rule. Tancredi got a hattrick and 2 ruled offside. So frustrating.

Heh. Good for her flippin' off the paparazzi. When she's in LA, she sometimes takes her kids to a playground we go to, and we've spotted them there. She's very low-key...baseball cap, sweats, sunglasses.
what a nice picture! I just watched Inside-Man and she was in it with a fab cream/beige suit and a stunning red birkin!
GOOD FOR HER!! the papz need to eff off. theyve caused enough sh*t. hates it!
I understand that it's part of being a celebrity but I would get seriously heated if I couldn't even leave my house without someone being in my face with a camera.
That finger looks unusually long--is it photoshopped?
I like Jodie Foster. She is quite bright, and a good actress without the drama, surgery or drug addiction...
OMG! That's the l o n g e s t finger I've ever seen! LMBO!
she must be pissed!
Love it!!
that is way too long. I think it's photoshopped but I'm sure that is what she was thinking.
I think it was PS-ed in. The finger looks fake.
Wasn't she though? I just love Jodi. I think she's a great actress and I like how low key she is as she just goes about the daily business of living.
Haha, that's pretty cool of her.
I like Jodi Foster. She's very well spoken, and seems to really act for the sake of acting rather than for the perks of being famous.
I didn't learn until this year that she's a lesbian. Learn something new everday.

Just this month, The Prague Monitor reported that legendary Czech philatelist Ludvik Pytlicek is planing to sell his prized possession – a green, four-crown, Austro-Hungarian stamp from 1919, valued at five million CZK (roughly $250,000). Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal recently announced that investment manager Bill Gross intends to start auctioning his rare US stamp collection in September 2018. The estimated value of that collection is $9.1 million.
But in the world of stamp collecting, those numbers are actually low. For example, they pale in comparison to the value of the most expensive stamp in the world.
The Most Valuable Stamp Ever
The story of the most valuable stamp ever – the British Guiana 1 Cent Magenta – began in 1856. That year, the colony of British Guiana (now the independent nation of Guyana) ran out of postage stamps. While waiting for more, the local postmaster printed temporary four cent and one cent stamps – four cents for letters; one cent for newspapers. The temporary stamps circulated for two months, until more true stamps arrived.
Some temporary four cent stamps survived. But since newspapers are typically discarded after reading, it was assumed all of the temporary one cent stamps were gone forever. Then in 1873, a 12-year old Scottish child found one in a pile of old newspapers and sold it to a local collector for what would be less than $20 today – not a bad return on a one cent stamp, but also not such a good deal.
That stamp went on to break three world auction records. The first time was in 1922, when it sold for $35,000. The next was in 1970, when it sold for $280,000. Finally, it sold in 2014 for $9.4 million – $500,000 more than the value of the entire Gross collection and Ludvik Pytlicek's Austria-Hungarian stamp combined.
Becoming a Master Philatelist
The word philately means the study of stamps, but it has become synonymous with stamp collecting since the more you study, the more likely you are to build a valuable stamp collection. The first thing for a philatelist to know is that rarity is the key to value. And the two key factors that affect rarity are age and condition.
The British Penny Black is the oldest postage stamp. There were nearly 69 million Penny Black stamps printed between 15 April 1840 and 27 January 1841. It was not perforated, so each had to be cut by hand. A used, damaged Penny Black might fetch less than $20. But an unused, mint Penny Black could be worth $10,000 or more. This is where studiousness becomes an asset. Eleven different successive plates were used to print Penny Blacks, and every stamp can be traced to its plate. The final plate produced only 168,000 stamps, making those the rarest, and thus potentially the most valuable.
Stamp Collecting Tools
Serious philatelists keep two things in mind – analyses and protection. Analyses requires proper tools. The first priority is a magnifying glass. Second is a set of stamp tongs, with flat ends to prevent damage. Third is a set of stamp catalogues, listing the postage stamps of every nation. Fourth is a perforation gauge, to distinguish similar looking stamps according to perforation number and size. Finally, many stamps have watermarks, like currency, so an ultraviolet lamp can be handy.
For protection, though stamps are designed to withstand some wear and inclement weather, it is best not to take chances with condition. Philately supply stores offer protection sleeves, binders, and even metal cases in which to store stamps.
Spotting Valuable Stamps
Often the most valuable stamps are the oldest stamps. A mint, 1843 Brazilian Bull's Eye stamp, which was the first South American stamp, could fetch $5,000. A sheet of 50 mint 60 reis Bull's Eye stamps sold at auction in 2013 for $648,500.
But stamps do not have to be old to be valuable. A stamp with an error will always increase in value. Some famous error stamps include the Inverted Jenny (a US stamp printed with an upside down airplane), and the Roses Error Stamp, a British 13p stamp from 1973, of which some lacked the 13p. A single missing 13p stamp recently sold for £130,000.
The most notorious error stamp is the British Plate 77 Penny Red. Printed in 1863, they were deemed inadequate for sale and destroyed. But a few survived. A used Plate 77 Penny Red sold at auction in 2016 for £495,000, and another, on an envelope alongside a Four Penny Red, sold for £550,000.
The Real Value of Stamp Collecting
Of course, for many stamp collectors, the value of their collection is not about financial investment. It is more about history, tradition, and the joy of learning. Every nation on Earth prints stamps, documenting and celebrating important moments in their history. Every stamp is a starting point for deeper research into human culture, which means studying stamps is really a way of studying everything.
