Tomorrow is the first day of Winter. Another season. Another reason. For makin' whoopie.
I might do a 30 Day Challenge since I didn't do one this month.
SO fucking sick of people posting 'Reblog this to see who views your blog. Omg it's real!' and 'Like this post or your tumblr will be deleted! Omg it's real guys, look, tumblr staff posted it'.
One girl posted like four in a row. Shut. The fuck. Up.
At first they post cool things (hence the follow), then you see this bullshit. Then you find out they're 14 and it all makes sense.
Let's do ittttt. It'll be just like when we watched Roadtrip together, hahaha.

Now Sapphire Riviera Cancun and Now Jade Riviera Cancun are truly "gems" in Riviera Maya.
Aside from their reputation of being family-friendly, fun and boasting luxurious accommodations, what makes these two resorts so special is that they are consistently included in great all-inclusive package deals!
They are both very unique and yet both provide wonderful vacation spots for the whole family. Here are my favorite things about each resort. Continue reading

EL PASO – Blessing Okagbare reached the ultimate feat in college athletics claiming the long jump crown at the 2010 NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships on Friday night in Fayetteville, Ark.
Okagbare leaped to a distance of 6.87m (22-6.50) improving from 6.48m (21-3.25) in her first and 6.84m (22-5.25) second jumps to set a new NCAA meet standard. The record, 6.81m (22-4.25), was set by Auburn's Elva Goulbourne in 2002. The All-American passed on the fourth and fifth attempts before finishing the night with a 6.57m (21-6.75) in her final try.
"It's a tremendous feat to watch an athlete have a performance like that," head coach Bob Kitchens said from the University of Arkansas. "This is great a great accomplishment for our program as well as for her."
The Sapele, Nigeria, native becomes the 12th woman in UTEP history to win an indoor championship and the first since Svetlana Badrankova took the gold in the 800-meter run in 2001.
Okagbare will have a second chance at a national crown tomorrow when she takes the track at 6:25 p.m. (MT) in the women's 60-meter dash. She qualified for the final with a 7.24 in the preliminaries earlier Friday afternoon. The senior's personal best is 7.18 recorded at the Conference-USA Indoor Championships on Feb. 27.

Articles > What Does St. Johns Wort Do?
St. John's Wort - What is it?
St. John's Wort or Hypericum Perforatum as
it is otherwise known as, has been a reliable herbal supplement
for patients suffering from mild to severe clinical depression.
Highly regarded in Europe, mostly Germany, St. John's Wort
has been prescribed as one of the most potent antidepressants
over many of the more severe types of drugs, including Prozac.
It has been used to treat nervousness and anxiety disorders
as well as other mental illnesses. It can also be used for
sleep disorders, inflammation of the skin and bacterial infections.
St. John's Wort - How Does It Work?
During trials and testing, Hypericin, Pseudohypericin
and Xanthones were named as active ingredients in St. John's
Wart. Hypericin can be found in most anti-depressants on the
market today for people that are labeled depressed or emotionally
disturbed. The power of Hypericin lies in its ability to increase
the blood flow to tissue that is under duress. Hypericin also
aids in the elevation of other biochemical's such as
dopamine and serotonin to reduce abnormal adrenal activity
found in depression.
St. John's Wort is available in several forms including
capsules, teas, oils and tinctures. Although there are some
companies that manufacture St. John's Wort using different
additives, it is suggested that you take the supplement that
uses both the flower and leaves for maximum benefit.
St. John's Wort - What Are The Benefits From
St. John's Wort?
Here are other benefits from St. John's Wort:
• Improves overall well being in patients suffering
from CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome)
• Reduces size of tumors (benign and malignant).
• Aids in bladder trouble and urine suppression. In
some cases it actually can increase the flow of urine.
• Removes tumors and boils.
• Blood cleansing and purifying effects.
• Treats Internal Bleeding
St. John's Wort - What Are Some Of The Side
St. John's Wort has few side effects that the
user can experience namely photosensitivity. Photosensitivity
occurs when Hypericin is assimilated into the intestines and
concentrates in certain areas of the skin. Allergic reactions
occur when exposed skin is introduced into natural sunlight.
This type of exposure can cause tissue damage and has resulted
in death in a few cases. It is strongly recommended to remain
out of the sunlight during the period St. John's Wort
is used. As with any herbal or supplement, you should consult
a physician before taking it.
Do not take St. John's Wort if you are taking any antidepressant
drugs, MAO Inhibitors, SSRI's, Tricylics and the drugs
Tramadol or Imitrex.
Daily Recommended Dosage: Take 1 300mg capsule 3 times a day.
Consult a physician and discontinue usage if any other side
effects occur.

I had a pretty uneventful day. I started packing up my stuff. I leave for Tallahassee on Thursday morning. I started getting mixed feelings today for the first time. I don't really want classes to start up again because I just got out of them six weeks ago. I like not having to do much work.
My family got high speed internet today. It figures. A couple days before I leave they improve the computer dramatically. Oh well. It did mean that I could upload all my photos from Europe. Just click on the link marked Photos at the top of the page to see them. I posted up 314 photos in all today. Tomorrow I'm going to try to get the photos from U.M. Army and Soul Fest uploaded.

"We played around with the idea of the post card and thought it was perfect because our daughter was born outside the USA"
"I was very pleased with this card. I paid extra for the edges to be rounded and I am glad that I did. It gave the card a softer appearance. I used black and white photos and thought it was a great balance. Great purchase to announce the arrival of our sweet baby girl."
"I loved the fact that I could personalize EVERYTHING about this card! I was able to change the size, font, and wording on the card. I also loved the fact that I could review my finished product before purchasing them. They came earlier than expected by almost a week and they looked FANTASTIC!! I will definitely be using Tinyprints again in the future!"
"My client was beyond thrilled when I delivered her these cards! The combination of my photo images and your card designs... we make a winning team!!"
"LOVE that you can deal directly with a designer to change little things on the announcement that would make it just that much better or personal! We changed our daughter's name to be printed in pink color since the announcement itself isn't very "girly." I also love that you can do pics on the back!!"

Skull Coast Equipment Installation Update
<<-- Isn't this image the most beautiful thing in the world?
Okay, you may not think so. But, if you were in our position and waiting as long as we have, a fermenter sitting upright in our space is gorgeous! It's the 8th Wonder of the World. It's a symbol of all that is Good and Just and... Sorry, I'm getting a little carried away. Let me just say, "It's friggin' AWESOME!"
Before I get to the rest of the installation, however, let me bring you up-to-date on some "pre-Installation" adventures that our company has been dealing with. I know I just ended the previous sentence with a preposition, but "dealing with" is the right term to describe what has been going on in the brewery build business.
As many of you know, we started this Captain's Blog to let inspiring brewers know what it takes to actually build a brewery. The idea that you can hand out a couple of homebrews and score a brewery is a fantasy. Anyone that has actually built a brewery will tell you that purchasing the malts and brewing the beer is the fun part. The other 90% of your life is a bitch!
That being said, let me give you the other 90% of my day that nothing at all to do with the standing this fermenter at 8:15am, and meeting the fine construction workers that were responsible for this feat!
At 9:00am this morning I met with the County EDC and the North Carolina Commerce Department. While both gentlemen were extremely interested in wanting to provide financial assistance, it soon became clear that had we not already announced that we had decided on our location there was nothing that they could really do for the number of employees that we might be able to hire.
Translation: If you are a large, out-of-state Brewery (or three) that 'promises' to hire a certain number of employees while feigning attention to other states that you actually have no interest in building in, the world is your oyster! The gov't will give you anything you want. Of course, since you may already be a nationally recognized brand and extremely profitable, you don't really need the financial and tax incentives. But, you'll play their game and they are more than willing to play along with you. It's the corporate welfare and cronyism two-step. But, hey, who cares? It makes great headlines. On the other hand, for the small business owner that is trying to actually create new revenue and jobs, we got nothing for you. Except, this brochure. Look, it's 4-color! Pretty...
To be accurate, they do have something for you: It's called "job-training credits." If you have ever owned a business, you know what this means. I'll leave it at that.
(Again, both lovely, nice people. IN FACT, the County EDC rep later contacted me to tell me that he is going to be working on trying to streamline permits for Skull Coast. He's a wonderful guy trying his hardest to overcome some of the permit issues that drive Business owners batty. We certainly appreciate it!)
At 10:00am, we headed back to the brewery with the promise of "job-training credits" in hand.
Thankfully, we found the rigging crew actually working around the ceiling height problem by cutting off half of the rigging equipment and welding together a shorter piece. This may not seem like a big deal for some of you, but this crew actually took the initiative to modify, actually cut, their own equipment to do the job right.
If you take a look at the image to the right you can see that this welder is actually welding together two pieces. What you don't see is the 3' section that was cut out in order to make sure our fermenters could be righted into the limited ceiling height.
After the adjustments were made, the second Tank was rigged into its place (above).
At the risk of getting overly preachy, I really wish government worked in the same way these workers did. They saw a problem and worked out a solution. There weren't bureaucratic guidelines they had to adhere to, or forms that needed to be filled out.
They saw the problem and cut it out. The tank now rests in its proper place. Human ingenuity. A marvel in this day and age.

Nashville Superintendent Asks Board For More Days
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The superintendent of Metro Nashville Public Schools system is asking the school board to add five more class days to the academic year.
Dr. Jesse Register will make the recommendation Tuesday, saying more instructional time will help improve academic performance.
Six of the city's schools are in the second year of a three-year federal grant that pays for more class time. While educators say growth measurements used at the low-performing schools show improvement, individual student tests scores won't be available until later this month.
The request comes after a recent hearing that was dominated by parents who want a return to the former 10-week summer break.

The inability to agree on a deal has brought Dawson County and the local humane society full circle.
Dawsonville's city council has agreed to spend about $40,000 to finish the job a developer started at Burts Crossing II subdivision off Hwy. 9 South.
U.S. Rep. Nathan Deal has had a slight change of heart.
A. Roll call
Lionel Graves had little to no intention of running for public office when he retired to Dawson County about eight years ago.
U.S. Rep. Nathan Deal announced Monday morning that he will leave Congress to concentrate on his bid to be Georgia's next governor.
Humane Society officials say Dawson County's offer to split the cost of a required audit may not be enough to seal a proposed contract.
A stretch of Ga. 400 near Henry Grady Hwy., where rundown buildings have sat vacant for years, could fit the criteria for a tax allocation district, according to one Dawson County official.
So much can be said about the city of Dawsonville on its 150th birthday, but perhaps Mayor Joe Lane Cox summed it up best:
City of Dawsonville Mayor Joe Lane Cox says if folks from yesteryear saw the city these days "it would blow their minds."
It's been nearly two months since the Dawson County commission approved a contract with the local humane society to care for stray animals.
A former longtime day care director was honored last week as Dawson County officials dedicated the election office's new home in her name.
The state's current economic climate topped the list of concerns late last month when State Representative Amos Amerson sat down with constituents for breakfast.
A. Roll Call
The technology isn't that widespread, but already the "Chips" are stacked against it.
Despite protests from Dawson County officials concerning recent annexation requests, Dawsonville continues to receive applications from people who want to live in the city limits.
The city of Dawsonville held a public hearing Monday night on a Dawson County-contested annexation of 37 acres on Duck Thurmond Road.
Commissioners last week voted to deny the application from a county resident that wants to annex his west side property in the city of Dawsonville.
At least six retail shops, including three restaurants, have contracts or commitments in place to be among the first to open in a new commercial development on Ga. 400.
A request to annex nearly 37 acres into Dawsonville has one Dawson County commissioner questioning the motives of city leaders.
Residents who wish to learn more about their county government and how it works for them are encouraged to register for the Citizens Government Academy.
The Georgia Municipal Association last week recognized local lawmaker Kevin Tanner with the group's 2014 Champion of Georgia's Cities award.
A recent salary study commissioned by Dawson County found there are positions within the government that are below the recommended minimum pay level compared to neighboring jurisdictions.
The Downtown Development Authority has closed on a loan to buy 18 acres behind the Dawsonville Municipal Complex for a planned city park.
ATLANTA - Businessman David Perdue has defeated longtime Rep. Jack Kingston in the Republican runoff for Georgia's U.S. Senate nomination, setting up a matchup against Democratic nominee Michelle Nunn that will help determine which party controls the Senate for the final years of the Obama administration.
Dawson County commissioners last week approved a measure that will help the local office of tourism and development pay its rent.
Some Dawson County residents may see a slight property tax increase following the county commission's vote last week to set the millage rate at 8.138 mills.

China's tightening spells trouble across the board
All the linkage plays -- metals, oil, tech -- will likely feel the pinch today.
By Jim Cramer, TheStreet
Why did we hold Freeport (FCX) through the night? What were we thinking when we bought Vale (VALE) on a disappointing quarter? Shouldn't we now be worried about the Bucyrus (BUCY) we took up three or the Caterpillar (CAT) up the same amount?
That's what happens when you think the Chinese are going to be like our country's government and let the bubbles roll. The Chinese are not like us. There is no Nancy Pelosi pushing pet products in a stimulus plan that probably only had half of the money creating jobs with a multiplier effect -- as opposed to giving raises and stabilizing unionized civil service employment.
The Chinese mean business. They are not going to let expansion run amok. So when you have 3-point gains on the backs of the shorts who got caught leaning the wrong way for a day, you have to take them.
So let's take the case of Freeport. Great company up a lot in a short time almost entirely related to China with no yield support. Now contrast that to Southern Copper (PCU), nowhere near as big a run with yield support. Which is better right now? I think as long as China's tightening, you go with PCU. You need the floor.
Of course today could be the day when the linkage is broken and we rally on everything from oil to mining to tech.
But that means we would break the pattern that has gripped us and that I have complained endlessly defines 2010.
I don't think it will happen. Expect a clobbering.

BioShock Infinite 'Sky-Line' given a history
Irrational Games has released a developer diary that outlines some of the history behind the "Sky-Lines" in BioShock Infinite.
As explained by Ken Levine, the rail lines that connect sections of Columbia--the game's set-piece floating city--were originally intended to be used for transport of goods. Evidently, a bunch of pesky kids realized they could use the Sky-Line for personal transport and, as the city began to self-destruct, a new method of travel was born.
It's a great, subtle narrative detail for one mechanic in the upcoming game. As noted in our E3 2011 preview, we have high hopes for BioShock Infinite, which is set to launch on the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 in 2012.

Wetlands of International Importance: Republic of Moldova, Lower Dniester
Togai Bog reserve
Lower Dniester (Nistru de Jos). 20/08/03; Tighina, Slodozia; 60,000 ha; 46 34'N 29 49'E; Nature Reserves; Landscape Reserve; Nature Monuments (paleontological). The designation of this part of the Dniester River in southeastern Moldova helps to complete the conservation of transboundary wetland the Dniester delta, with two Ramsar sites downstream in Ukraine. This complex of relict and transformed habitats of the Dniester floodplain includes meandering zones with almost closed river loops typical for the northwest of the Black Sea basin, lakes and oxbows formed by river roaming, specific ash communities and unique old stand floodland poplar forest, Fraxineto-Populeta (albae). The site supports many globally endangered and vulnerable bird species among which 2 are nesting (Crex crex, Phalacrocorax pygmaeus), 4 are present on migration (Branta ruficollis, Aythya nyroca, Circus macrourus, Haliaeetus albicilla), 1 regular visitor (Pelicanus crispus), and fish such as the Danube Salmon (Hucho hucho), the European Mud-minnow (Umbra krameri) and various species of sturgeons. The wetland is an important site for freshwater migratory fish as it supports more than 90% of the species of the region and offers a high diversity of biotopes: riverbed spawning ground, areas of pelagic spawning and nursery. However, the construction of dams in the Dniester valley has affected the terrestrial, aquatic and intermediate ecosystems and large areas of important meadow spawning grounds were lost. Grazing is also considered as an important disturbance. The site has recognized paleontological and archaeological value since the discovery of fossils and places such as tumuli, Cimmerian, Ghetic, Sarmatic and Slavic memorials. The RIS and the management plans of this site were prepared in 2001 during a Ramsar Small Grant Funds project. The creation of a Lower Dniester National Park is under discussion. Ramsar site no. 1316.

3 Doors Down will hit the road again in 2014 for their first-ever acoustic tour, 3 Doors Down Acoustic -- Songs from the Basement. Frontman Brad Arnold says he got the idea for the name of the tour after reading some comments on the group's Facebook page, following a special acoustic set they played in Nashville back in September.
"The place that we played wasn't that big of a place, and it really, just in that setting, it felt like we were in somebody's basement," he tells ABC News Radio. "Over the next couple of days after the show, I got three or four messages on Facebook that people were like, 'Man I felt like y'all were sitting in my basement,' and we just really kind of based it off of that. So [it] seemed like a proper name for the tour."
Arnold adds the upcoming tour will feature a number of deep cuts and fan favorites the band rarely performs in concert. "It does give us an opportunity to play things that maybe you just typically might not play at a concert, so I think it'll be some songs that the fans will be very interested to hear," he explains. "At a couple of the shows I know we'll be playing in a couple of venues more than one night, and [we] definitely want to explore just changing up that set to give fans a different show."
The 3 Doors Down Acoustic -- Songs from the Basement tour kicks off on January 10 at the Silver Legacy Resort Casino in Reno, NV. Visit 3DoorsDown.com to view the full itinerary.

Vienna is a very well known city. It's not the same as using the name of some small, unheard of town.
December 6th, 2012 03:13 PM #15
Apparently the mother of Francis of Paola was called Vienna, and Francis of Paola lived from 1416 – 1507. So if his mam was called that, Vienna must have been in use at least since the 1400s.Delilah Celeste ∥ Aveline Ruth ∥ Winter Fay ≶ Silas Alaric ∥ Fabian Seth ∥ Lucian Ezra

Ability Details
Burst of Speed is a self-buff that grants movement speed after an basic attack.
Additional Information:
- Burst of Speed resets Fiora's autoattack timer on-cast.
- The attack speed buff and movement speed buff are two separate buffs.
- Landing basic attacks or Lunge against units will grant movement speed for 3 seconds. This does not apply to structures.
- The movement speed buff refreshes each time Fiora autoattacks within the first 3 seconds. This allows the movement speed buff to last up to a maximum of 6 seconds total if she performs an attack at the very beginning of the attack speed buff, and an attack at the very last moment of the attack speed buff.
Ability Details

Additional Information:

- Fiora will reappear next to the last enemy champion she attacks. This is normally her initial target as the last attack will always be at the initial target unless the target is killed before she performs her last attack.
- Blade Waltz will prioritize blinking to new targets if within range of addition enemy champions before blinking back to an already struck target(s).
- Blade Waltz will choose untargetable and invisible targets if necessary to continue the Blade Waltz, but the ability will deal no damage. If the target is revealed when Fiora jumps to them (in brush, fog of war or Shadow Walk), she'll deal damage as normal.
- When blinking next to an enemy champion, there is a small period of time of when she is targetable. She can take damage from any source during this time and the turret's aggro will keep on re-locking to her if within range.

By Lee Howard
Publication: TheDay.com
Mystic — A broken sprinkler pipe at Mystic Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center leaked hundreds of gallons of water into one wing of the nursing home Sunday night, forcing the evacuation of 25 residents, about a quarter of the center's population.
Old Mystic Fire Chief Ken Richards Jr. said 10 local ambulances would be used to transfer residents to other nursing homes in the region.
Residents at the High Street nursing home were moved to other parts of the building while awaiting the ambulances' arrivals. The majority of the residents in the wing are not able to walk under their own power, Richards said.
Richards said no one was injured in the incident, which left about 3 inches of water throughout the "C wing." Upon arrival, firefighters immediately turned off the sprinkler system and began the time-consuming task of vacuuming up water. The Oswegatchie Fire Department in Waterford, which has special equipment, helped with the cleanup.
Richards said he expected the evacuated residents would have to stay in other facilities for at least a day or two as the cleanup continues and inspections of the facility are made. He said both the Ledge Light Health District and Groton Town building officials were notified of the incident, which was reported by residents shortly before 8 p.m.

The Beacon
The great (white) debate
A few days ago, I came across this blog, by Doctor Mark Hyman touting the medicinal properties of food. During his recent trip to China, the doctor was "treated" to the "delicacy" shark fin soup which he claims can help ease arthritis and possible fight cancer. Oceana responded to his blog, pointing out that shark fin soup can actually be detrimental to one's health, but I thought many of you would appreciate hearing the full story, as shark finning has been popping up in the news lately.
- ABC News: Decimating Shark Populations for some soup
- The Guardian: Teeth bared in battle over world shark stocks
- Underwater times: Chefs Divided Over Shark Fin Use Amid Reports of Species Decline
As for the nutritional argument, there is scant scientific evidence, if any, that shark fin soup has any nutritional benefits whatsoever (however there is ample evidence that finning millions of sharks is not good for the future of sharks in general...). The drying, bleaching, and lengthy cooking process the fins go through before ending up in one's soup bowl remove any nutritional benefits that would have existed in the first place.
Not too mention, these cooking methods reduce the water content of the fin, thus concentrating numerous heavy metals, including mercury. The FDA has a mercury warning for shark meat - and shark fins are high in mercury too.
I just love when I can talk about two of our campaigns at once.
In short, just say no to shark fin soup. Yao did.

How Home Inspectors Handle Appliance Safety & Recalls
October 2009 (Palm Springs, Calif) — This is the third in a five part series of home safety from home inspectors to home owners. As the premier home inspection association in state, California Real Estate Inspection Association (CREIA) members are intimately familiar with safety hazards found every day during an inspection. Previously Fire Safety and Electrical Hazards, this month is Appliance Safety and Recalls, then will be followed by Pool Safety and finally Trip and Fall Hazards.
Every day, CREIA inspectors act as advocates for consumers. By continuing education and keeping up with construction changes, inspection professionals sit on the cutting edge of safety for the general public and their own customers (clients). What inspectors DO NOT DO is keep up with all the updates on product recalls that can change from day to day. An attempt to "keep current" with every safety issue and recall as it occurs would not allow inspectors to actually perform inspections!
Every consumer can act as their own advocate for appliance safety and recalls by visiting the Consumer Product Safety Commission website. That organization DOES keep up to date with any appliance safety issue and also tracks recalls from manufacturers. The following is a general appliance list that is detailed on the CPSC website:
General Appliances
- Washing Machines (includes: washing machines without wringers or other dryers, wringer washing machines, washing machines with unheated spin dryers, washing machines (not specified), and washer-dryer combinations (with one frame))
- Dryers (includes: electric clothes dryers without washers, gas clothes dryers without washers, and clothes dryers (not specified))
- Floor Care Equipment (includes: vacuum cleaners, electric brooms, floor buffers, waxers, and rug shampooers)
- Water Heaters (includes: gas water heaters, electric water heaters (excluding immersion heaters), other water heaters, and water heaters (not specified))
- Automatic Doors (includes: automatic doors or door openers and automatic garage doors or door openers)
- Electric Blankets (includes: electric blankets or sheets)
- High Temperature Potential Appliances (includes: propane, LP, or butane gas tanks or fittings and incinerators)
- Miscellaneous Appliances (includes: mangle irons, sewing machines or accessories, water softeners or conditioners (appliances), and drinking fountains)
CREIA advises everyone to "keep up to date" with safety and visit the CPSC site regularly and make sure to retain the services of a qualified, professional home inspector by using a Certified CREIA Inspector member to do a thorough, independent visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a home. Since 1976, CREIA, a non-profit voluntary membership organization has been providing education, training, and support services to the real estate inspection industry and to the public. Inspectors must adhere to CREIA's Code of Ethics and follow the Standards of Practice developed by the association. These Standards of Practice have been recognized by the State of California, and are considered the source for Home Inspector Standard of Care by the real estate and legal communities.
CREIA requires its members to successfully pass a comprehensive written examination of property systems and complete 30 hours of continuing education each year. Members can accumulate credits through various sources of education including monthly chapter meetings, conferences, and other approved activities. CREIA keeps records to ensure that members are complying with the requirements. Educational topics cover a variety of technical subjects including updates and advances affecting the profession of real estate inspection.
CREIA is dedicated to consumer protection and education. To locate a qualified CREIA inspector near you click here or call CREIA at (800) 388-8443.

I was like, "Whaaaaaa??? what the heck happened?"
some of the designs were pulled down, but plenty remain!
I personally think that since so many people are moving on from just scrawling their tag on a wall, graffiti is actually positive. It at least makes people less mad at artists who pull stuff like this, which is good.
I think many paint graffiti artists are great artists, but do it in the wrong places, eg somebodies fence..
Thats downright inconsiderate.
This is a little quirky thing that think is bound to lighten many peoples days, and if you have an objection to it being called graffiti, call it people knitting around many inanimate objects. You get extra words to say for objecting.
It made my day.

MotD: A proclamation for residents of the Five Cities (who pass time in the Gardens)
By @Ashrokar Malachi
For over seven years, our Gardens has hosted its share of heroes and villains: conflict, drama, romance and yes, all-out war. We've seen families made and broken, lives brought into the world and lost, characters corrupted and redeemed. Roleplaying on this site gives you the chance to join an epic tradition that's been carried along since July 2003.
Or the chance to annoy everyone, get alienated and drive people away from the Gardens.
Gardens roleplaying (RP) should be:
*An act of communal creativity and personal relaxation. Other players involved expect you to recognise that you (the player behind the character) are not King of the Castle, and be considerate. The Gardens exist for everyone's enjoyment, not just your own.
*Undertaken with notable effort in creating unique characters and building plots.
*Something that even non-roleplayers can read and enjoy, hopefully enough to make them take interest in trying it out.
Roleplaying is NOT:
* A chance to "show off" how powerful, capable or knowledgeable you can make your character. This will get you called out for godmoding and ignored, as such behaviour just gets people annoyed and makes them like you less.
* An outlet for mushy-gushy silliness. Most of us can tell apart (a) deep romantic scenes which character development and exposition from (b) couples gratuitously drowning us in their marital (or pre-marital) bliss. Yes, yes, you love each other, but after a certain point, it's spam. Get a room. If it's a YoM room, keep it clean.
* A way to socialise OOC. Obviously, characters want to socialise. And there's nothing wrong with YoMming people whose RP you appreciate, to chat. But if your Gardens interactions are as uninspired as something out of a boring instant messenger conversation, you're doing it wrong. No fantasy world with so much magic and diversity should inspire flat roleplaying.
* A work-around for the family friendly rule, EVEN in the name of plotlines. It always needs to be said.
To the newbies: If you need more information on how to do it right or what roleplaying is about, I am open to answer questions, as are my fellow roleplaying staff members: Cupcake, Riah, Balcon and Amanda (LadyAlchemist). The Official LotGD Roleplaying Guide is also available for this purpose: http://rpgd.webs.com
To the not so newbies: We choose what sort of roleplay we accept or not. If people aren't making the effort they should to get into plots, no law says they MUST be let in. Still, remember that some players are genuinely new and need help to advance. I learned to roleplay on this site. Other people can too. Friendly advice: don't be a total elitist. Everyone suffers for it.
A.i.K. aka Malachi.

Comments, questions, opinions...this is your chance to speak out regarding anything and everything reported on AgDay. Viewer feedback updated regularly.
RE: Egg producers and Humane Society
Let me relate a little story from my youth. Around 1955 my father owned a small boat that was moored in a small cove on the Hudson River near Croton-on-Hudson. The river is an estuary and was not regulated by the State of New York (no license required) until you reached Troy where the river was no longer tidal.
In any case the Coast Guard put out an offer that if you wanted to you could register your boat with them and they gave you a number to attach to your bow area. It was voluntary and sounded great. This is what we tritely call "the camel's nose under the tent". Fast forward to this time and you will find it is mandatory to register your boat with the State of New York, it must have a title, you must pay license and inspection fee, have lights of a certain designation, a certain number of life preservers, fire extinguisher, emergency flares or other devises, horn of a certain decibel, etc ad infinitum. Ah but of course with all the fees for license and other fees it makes it all the more punitive. And of course the inspection Nazis will now stop you to see if you comply so they can fine you or sniff for alcohol.
In the 1950's it was a pleasant experience to take a boat out on the Hudson where you were left alone and the accident and drowning numbers were no higher than today. Oh sure there were a few hot dogs who, no matter what the law, would still be idiots doing the same thing.
My point is this. All of these proposals sound wonderful and then the malevolent nose gets a tiny nose hold under the tent. It will incrementally put a stranglehold on whatever it seeks to regulate. It will not only take the fun out of any task but make it more expensive and instead of pleasurable, toil will be its fruit. Many just give up because there is no longer any pleasure nor reward of accomplishment.
In this case of the Humane Society poking its nose into chicken housing will result in a mortally wounded industry as the march to more control will inevitably follow as we create another Federal agency regally ruled by beltway rubes who wouldn't know that potatoes don't grow on bushes. The stooge who you showed that was working with the Humane Society will be sorry when he wakes up aware that he is working with a degenerate enemy who seeks to destroy him.
Farmers and ranchers must wake up and realize that 90% of the people in Washington have no knowledge of what it takes to produce food. They are your enemy because they are invincibly ignorant.
Then you also have a corn industry sycophant Orion Samulson telling us that ethanol has absolutely nothing to do with the price increase in feed for our livestock including poultry. This man must think that we farmers and consumers are complete morons to believe that. I think he is on ADM's payroll as he is no friend of the farmer or consumer.

Thanks for the advice.....and I agree with you. I changed the belts and plugs shorlty after I bought the car with about 69,000 miles on it. I inspected the cooling system at the same time and felt as though the car's cooling system had been refreshed recently sans the radiator, which was original. Hoses were in excellent shape as was the coolant reservoir and thermostat housing.
I chose to leave them alone until my 100,000 refresh which i am in the process of now.
All other "upgrades" were done opportunistically:
Shocks/Struts needed replacing - Bilstein Sports all around with Eibach springs
Wheels/Tires I adapted from my E90, sold the LM's later and bought the M-Par Replicas on the cheap
Headunit was a birthday gift from my brother - Subwoofer left over from an old project.
Aesthetic upgrades were all good deals i found on ebay and such as time has gone by. Shadowline trim was $275...i really couldn't pass that up, even though it wasn't perfect.
M-Tech Bumpers came out of necessity as well. A big chunk of road debris took a nice size chunk of my front bumper with it and left behind a heck of an eyesore. I kept it together with duct tape and epoxy for a while, but eventually rationalized front and rear replacements (not bad for about $800 painted and installed).
Of course, the exhaust had to follow.
My plans for the next couple weekends:
Rear Crossdrilled rotors and Powerstop ceramic pads.
New motor and transimssion mounts.
New thermostat, waterpump, hoses and a psuedo-custom aluminum radiator setup. I will be using an E46 specification radiator with dual 10" electric fans along with a bimmerworld wiring kit I've had laying around for a year or two. Meant to install it into my old E46 325xi, but that didn't work out.
Vanos and CCV are on the short list of things to do soon as well, but I am interested in an improved CCV solution if G.A.S can come up with one.
Also plan on draining and refilling the transmission at some point soon...

LAKE STATION | City Judge Chris Anderson had his supervisory rights and court budget permanently returned to him following a court order issued Monday.
Lake Superior Court Judge Calvin Hawkins issued his ruling in response to a complaint filed against Lake Station city officials on Anderson's behalf by his attorneys J. Michael Katz and David W. Weigel.
The ruling restores to Anderson's supervision two court deputy positions and their salaries approved for 2012.
City officials named in the suit, including the City Council, Mayor Keith Soderquist and Clerk-Treasurer Brenda Samuels, are also ordered by Hawkins to pay the $31,257 in fees charged by Anderson's two attorneys.
Katz said the litigation has resulted in a better relationship between the mayor, the council, the court and the clerk-treasurer's offices.
"And I anticipate that sense of cooperation will continue," Katz said.
Soderquist and Lake Station City Attorney Ray Szarmach said an agreement could have been reached among all parties in mid-August when a verbal resolution was reached.
Soderquist said city officials agreed that Hawkins was correct in giving Anderson authority over his two clerks.
"But there were other, non-related issues, including the storage of files, that surfaced and that's what prolonged it," Soderquist said.
Katz said those non-related issues, which arose after the case was filed, have now been resolved to Anderson's satisfaction.
Anderson filed a lawsuit on June 28 after action by the City Council on June 13.
The council agreed to move two clerk positions back under the supervision and budget of the city's clerk-treasurer.
The move transferred the two clerk positions, including the previously fired stepdaughter of Soderquist, out of Anderson's supervision and budget.
Soderquist, at the time of the June 13 meeting, said the transfer had nothing to do with the judge's firing of his stepdaughter, Miranda Brakley.
Prior to the meeting, Anderson said the council didn't have the authority to transfer the control of his staff to the clerk-treasurer. He said the only reason for the change was retaliation by the mayor.
Soderquist said city officials had been planning to move the two positions back under the clerk-treasurer's department from which they were removed four years ago.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - NBC News has declared Democratic U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown as the projected winner in the Ohio Senate race.
Brown faced an expensive challenge by Republican Josh Mandel, the state treasurer and a U.S. Marine veteran.
Outside groups spent more than $30 million in the state in efforts to defeat Brown, whose liberal record and surprise victory over then-incumbent Mike DeWine in 2006 made him a prime national target. Brown allies, primarily labor unions, spent about $4 million against Mandel.
Brown made the federal auto bailout and his support of the middle-class key campaign issues, while Mandel emphasized the need for change in Washington.

Would legalizing prostitution help the US economy?
A Nevada brothel owner says America is missing out on billions of dollars in taxable revenue.
The fiscal cliff dilemma is prompting some novel ideas on how to reduce the federal deficit -- including the highly questionable suggestion of turning Uncle Sam into a pimp.
Enter Dennis Hof, owner of Nevada's Moonlight Bunny Ranch brothel. Hof has proselytized for years about decriminalizing prostitution outside his state, and argues that a legal and taxed sex trade could do economic wonders.
"The federal government receives $6 billion a year now, off of liquor," he said in an interview with the Huffington Post. "The prostitution industry in America is about an $18 billion business, and none of that money goes into the federal coffers or goes to pay taxes."
With his plan, Hof says, the government would gain about $6 billion in federal income tax "from the girls" -- plus nearly $2 billion more in licensing fees.
According to the Christian Post, the international sex industry is a $30 billion a year business -- with hundreds of thousands of women, men and children coerced into a brutal and degrading life as prostitutes.
Hof says decriminalizing prostitution takes money out of the hands of criminals, eliminates sex trafficking and combats the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. "You can't stop it," Hof told the Huffington Post. "Prohibition doesn't work and legalization can solve a lot of our problems."
But even if you put aside the obvious moral issues surrounding a decriminalized prostitution industry, there are some doubts whether it would actually reduce crime.
Some advocates look at countries like the Netherlands -- where prostitution is legal. It's even an active and publicized part of the tourist trade in Amsterdam, bringing in about $100 million a year. But Amsterdam officials say legalization did not end crime, human trafficking, money laundering or drug abuse in the city's Red Light District.
"While legalization was supposed to turn prostitutes into self-employed taxpayers who did not need pimps for protection," Reuters reported in 2007, "the city said the industry is still dominated by criminals attracted by the 370 Euros ($484 U.S.) each woman can earn a day."
And a new academic report, looking at data from 116 countries, found a higher instance of human trafficking in countries where prostitution is legal.
"Our research suggests that in countries where prostitution is legalized, there is such a significant expansion of the prostitution market that the end result is larger reported inflows of human trafficking," said Eric Neumayer, Professor of Environment and Development at the London School of Economics and Political Science, and co-author of the report.
"While legalizing prostitution can have positive effects on the working conditions of those legally employed in the industry, it also appears to boost the market for this fast-growing global criminal industry."
More from Money Now
How silly. The answer is to decriminaize MJ, Cocaine, and Heroin and sell it in controlled settings as alcohol used to be. You would get a lot of tax money--Fed and State, empty out so many prison cells the annual savings would be in the billions, and put the drug cartels and gangs out of business.
We have never had a shot at winning the war against drugs, so call it a victory and end it.
If a man needs to go to a prostitute, he is a loser and if he gets an STD, he deserves it.
There are plenty of nice women in America who want a committed, loving relationship with
a man who is loyal, honest and decent. No mother would encourage her daughter to be
a prostitute. Most women who become prostitutes do it for drug money and demean
themselves and do not live joyful lives.
With his plan, Hof says, the government would gain about $6 billion in federal income tax "from the girls" -- plus nearly $2 billion more in licensing fees.
OK. That's $8 billion, with pie-in-the-sky preductions. But the deficit is $1,000 BILLION per year! Still got $992 BILLION to go. You don't get there with this stuff.
It's a SPENDING problem.
As a christian I believe it's wrong. But here in America being a christian seems to be wrong. God never changes and Prostitution will always be a sin we commit against our bodies. It will cause more People to Fornicate and commit Adultery without looking at the Spiritual consequences. Legalizing prostitution will not solve or help the economy in anyway possible. Choosing to Obey Jesus would help the economy.
But I think there are two other steps that should be explored
raising NOT income taxes on the "rich" but capital gains taxes on the "rich"
I also think ZERO tax payer subsidies for ILLEGAL ALIENS
Soy Latino, mis padres came legally and yours should have too

The case of the nuns versus the strippers just took a bizarre new turn.
It's been one year since FOX 32 News first broke the story about that giant strip club going in next to a convent in west suburban Stone Park.
It was supposed to be "Get It," a giant, multi-million dollar strip club in Stone Park just feet from a Melrose Park convent, but more than nine months since it was supposed to open, it sits empty.
The sisters of Saint Charles Borromeo say it's a sign from God, but FOX 32 and the Better Government Association have learned it's more likely a battle over the almighty dollar.
"Fortunately it hasn't opened and there appears to be a big fight of the leadership and the ownership of the facility," says attorney Peter Breen.
That fight has made its way to court and FOX 32 has obtained a copy of a lawsuit detailing a rift between the club's owners.
A group called "Stone Lake Partners," which owned 70 percent of the club, is suing Bob Itzkow, who owns the rest of it.
The suit alleges the club "ran out of funds", and "debts are now owed to numerous contractors some of whom have filed liens against the property." It says "the opening of the club is in jeopardy."
To raise cash, the plaintiffs sold a controlling interest to an international company called Spearmint Rhino, which owns strip clubs all over the world.
The suit alleges Itzkow tried to "extort" the new owners, and hired a professional mixed martial arts fighter to stop them from coming on the property.
Attorney Peter Breen represents the convent.
"[The nuns] are very happy that the facility isn't open," Breen says. "At the same time, we'd like some certainty that the facility won't ever open."
Jose Suarez is running for mayor of Stone Park, which is now 88 percent Latino. Suarez says the fight over this club woke up a political sleeping giant.
"A lot of people are intimidated, but a lot of people are not buying it anymore. They're willing to make a stand," Suarez says.
Incumbent Mayor Ben Mazzulla once again refused to talk to us for this story.
Suarez says Mazzulla is probably hoping talk about the strip club will go away until after the election.
"We're less than two months away from the election, so if it isn't heard, it isn't thought of," Suarez says. "I'm very sure that they're waiting. Our strategy is every door that we knock on, we're letting them know. They can't forget this."
It seems they haven't.
Stone Park is just one-third of a square mile, and based on yard signs, it seems nearly every last home and business has taken a stand in the election.
"There's been a lot of corruption over the years there, they've had problems there," Robert Herguth of the BGA explains. "So that the citizens of the community are getting involved in the electoral process, the democratic process I think is a good thing."
Peter Breen from the Thomas More Society says he has papers ready to file right away to stop the club from opening, but so far, he hasn't had to take the case to court.
The club's owners have done that for him.
After this story was reported, FOX 32 was contacted by lawyers for both sides in the lawsuit between owners of the strip club. They say their lawsuit has been resolved and will be dismissed from court next week.
