Love my silver Silverado by meanstreak1170 on 04/05/2012. Trim: 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT Ext. Cab 4WD, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: It's a chevy .....turn the key and drive. Plenty of power and style= show and go. I have a friend that works for Ford so I could have gotten the x plan, I would rather walk than own a Ford anything!
Cons: Ther is nothing I don't like, bought the truck I wanted with the options I wanted.
Overall review: 10 of 10

Test Driver
Silverado by hi-roller on 06/20/2012. Trim: 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTZ Crew Cab Short Box 4WD.
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Has GM admitted they still have oil consumption issures in the Silverados from 2007 to present and even in the new GMC trucks?
Overall review: Poor

5.3L Aluminun V8 with SFI and active fuel management is amazing by TheBigOldDog on 02/17/2013. Trim: 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT Crew Cab Short Box 4WD, Owned 1 year.
Pros: My 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crew Cab with the 5.3L V8 get consistently 15/20 due to the Active Fuel Management system. That is what I used to get from my 01 V6 blazer. Acceleration is unbelievable with the 5.3L due to Sequentional Fuel Injection (SFI). The exhaust system has a nice throatie sound. The interior is well laid out and the Leather seats are comfortable and yet rugged. The tutn-by-turn nave via Onstar using the radio is amazingly good. I am glad I did not get the LCD screen model because it adds complication w/o benefit I think. All in all I am thrilled with my 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crew Cab All Star Edition pickup.
Cons: If you buy the Crew cab you are stuck with a short bed in 2012. I think that is no longer true for 2013
Overall review: I would make this purchase again without hesitation.The 5.3L SFI V8 with active fuel management had unbelievable acceleration and near instantaneous response yet still manages 15/20 in such a large truck. It's a keeper.

Great truck for a country boy!!! by Big Daddy on 01/18/2013. Trim: 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LS Crew Cab Short Box 2WD, Owned 1 year.
Pros: Looks and rides great. I have owned a dodge for many years and it was time for a change. My 2012 chevy has more power and gets better gas mileage than my old dodge.
Cons: none
Overall review: Great truck!

Good Value in a Base Truck by John on 11/03/2012. Trim: 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Work Truck 2WD, Owned 1 year.
Pros: I bought the base model regular cab 4.3 V-6 2WD Work Truck, with manual windows and locks. Very basic, very comfortable, didn't need the V-8 or power accessories. Lots of room under the hoor with the V-6. I put on aftermarket step bars, hitch, tonneau cover, bug deflector, and Sirius satellite receiver. Including tax, title, and shipping charges, I paid $21K.
Cons: Visibility to the rear and sides of the vehicle is limited. You really need to look when backing out of the driveway.
Overall review: Great value, no issues or problems.

Gonorrhea, also known as the "clap" or "drip," is one of the most common STIs in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that more than 700,000 people in the United States will get a new gonorrheal infection each year. Approximately 75% of all reported cases of gonorrhea are found in people who are 15 to 29 years of age.
Gonorrhea is a bacteria transmitted through contact with the penis, vagina, anus, or mouth of an infected individual. Touching infected sex organs, and then touching your eyes can cause an eye infection. A pregnant woman can transmit the infection to her baby during a vaginal delivery. Gonorrhea cannot be spread by sharing toilets or bathrooms.
There are many ways to protect yourself. You can reduce the risk of infection by limiting your number of sexual partners and talking with the partners you have about their sexual history. Birth control methods such as the pill do not protect against STIs. When you have sex, condom use can greatly reduce the risk of infection. However, condoms are not 100% effective, and the only way to eliminate all risk is to abstain from sex. Finally, be honest with your doctor about your sexual history and ask to get tested.
Symptoms usually appear 2-10 days after infection, but could take as long as 30 days. It is possible to be infected and have no symptoms. The signs of rectal or eye infection are similar for both sexes. Rectal infection is often associated with discharge, anal itching, and painful, bloody bowel movements. Eye infection may cause burning, itching, or discharge.
If you have any of the above symptoms of gonorrhea, seek a physician's care. First, the doctor will do a physical exam to check for symptoms. At most hospitals, clinics or doctors' offices a urine sample will be screened as an initial test for gonorrhea. A doctor may also collect discharge from the penis or vagina and send it to a lab. The lab will test the sample for gonorrhea growth.
Gonorrhea can only be cured with medications prescribed by a doctor. Treatment options for gonorrhea are limited since resistance to most major classes of antibiotics has developed. The CDC currently recommends treatment of gonorrhea infection with a class of antibiotics called cephalosporins. The doctor will prescribe these antibiotics as either an injection or a pill. Take the full course of antibiotics even if symptoms go away. Alert any sexual partners so that they can be tested as well. Follow up with another test for gonorrhea 72 hours after finishing the course of antibiotics, or if you think you have been reinfected.
When treated with antibiotics gonorrhea can be cured 95-99% of the time. If left untreated gonorrhea can develop into more serious medical conditions. The infection may spread through the bloodstream and affect systems throughout the body. Symptoms of more serious disease can include joint pain and rash. In women, gonorrhea can cause Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, which can cause infertility when left untreated. In men, gonorrhea can cause severe infection of the testes or prostate, symptoms of which include fever and painful urination. Hospitalization is recommended for treatment of gonorrhea complications.
For more information and statistics: CDC.
Contact the Student Health Center if you think you need to get tested.

My prediction
I'm just putting this on the record now (4/2/2012). In the next two (2) years menswear will go back to slightly fuller cuts and regular length bodies. Pleated pants will come back but with a taper still. I'm not talking 80's style but the whole extra slim look will die out because you cannot get slimmer than what I see people wearing.
I just wanted to document this cause I think of something and then I see it done and I kick myself in the ass for not getting on it first. Which reminds me I need to show you guys my newest additions to my suit collection.

I got this camera for my husband. He doesn't like trying to figure out complicated things so I am hoping this camera will work for him.

Much has been written about British pluck during the Blitz. Though more than 30,000 civilians would die from German bombs, London thrust out its chin, undaunted. GNAWING TENSION AMID THE THREAT OF IMMINENT DEATH became a part of everyday life. For the writers chronicled in Lara Feigel's ambitious fusion of criticism and biography, wartime London became a kind of playground for the senses, A CENTER OF CHARGED EMOTION, SOME OF IT ROMANTIC.
Feigel's striking title comes from an essay by Graham Greene, who wrote of how "bomb-bursts moving nearer and then moving away, hold one like a love-charm." For the ever-bored, death-obsessed Greene, the war offered an apocalyptic confirmation of his own morbid fantasies; war also gave the writer license to pursue several adulterous affairs.

On a perfect day for rugby Seapoint won the Schools and Youths U14 league in beating a very powerful Malahide side by 21 points to 7 at Anglesea Road today.
Seapoint started with a real focus and scored the first try after only 3 minutes. Tom Kelly made a strong break from inside his 22 and got as far as the 10 metre line in the Malahide half before releasing Cameron Madden on the wing with a perfect pass for Cameron to scorch down the wing and score under the posts. Sean Ross added the conversion to make it a perfect start for Seapoint to lead 7 points to nil.
Malahide responded strongly and applied pressure through their massive pack on the Seapoint line for a 10 minute period but could not make the breakthrough they needed. Nobody epitomised Seapoint's absolute determination more than Eoghan Clarke, their captain, and Robert Doyle who made some massive tackles to keep them out.
Seapoint eventually lifted the siege and scored their second try at the end of the second half through Eoghan Clarke following a series of drives to the line by their pack in the right hand corner. Sean Ross added a fantastic conversion from the touchline to make it 14 points to nil at half time.
Malahide showed real hunger at the start of the second half and scored after 11 minutes to the right of the posts. A successful conversion made the score 14 points to 7 and game on!
Seapoint upped their game again and created real pressure deep into the Malahide half but some brave defending by Malahide kept them out. Glen Mulvaney, Robert Ivers, ben ryan and Sean Ross all made decisive breaks only to be denied by some great tackling by the Malahide team. The pressure eventually told however when Glen Mulvaney picked up a loose ball inside his 22 and made a break towards the half way before releasing Robert Ivers to outpace the cover to score under the posts. Sean Ross added the conversion to make it 21 points to 7 with 5 minutes left.
Malahide again upped their game and some great last ditch tackling from Sean Ross and Paul Blake-Knox kept them out. A huge relieving kick from Tom Kelly relieved the pressure and following a turnover from the ensuing ruck Seapoint created one last chance but were again denied by some determined defending by Malahide.
To all of the parents and supporters - thank you for all your marvellous support along the way. Overall it was a fantastic display by the lads and Seapoint deservedly won out on the day.
Next week its the first round of the Metro Cup away against DLSP. After that is our trip to play Cork Con on 14 April. We also play Barnhall away in the semi final of the Schols and Youths Cup after the Cork Trip
Seapoint Team:
1. Cian Reilly, 2. Andrew Bodley, 3. Eoghan Clarke (capt), 4. Davy Nash, 5. Robert Ivers, 6. ben ryan, 7 Donn Twomey, 8. Glen Mulvaney, 9. Shane O'Hanrahan, 10. Jack Handrick, 11.

I imagine Teemu Hartikainen has a thousand things running through his brain today. Play well, contribute to his line's success, don't get hurt, remember to pack everything. It may or may not be his final night in the minors for years, but it could be and that's a plateau all on its own.
Harski has "earned" the right to compete for an NHL job and his unique skills (size, hands) have gotten him this far and just might be enough for him to spend the heart of his career as a regular in the best league on the planet. He has played 152 AHL games now and the Oilers are reaching that point where they either keep him in the NHL or "Brad Winchester" him to another team for a second opinion.
In this 152 AHL games, Hartikainen's boxcars (42-58-100) suggest a player of some ability. That's about two seasons worth of games so if he can post 50 points in an AHL season then 25 in the NHL seems reachable. Can he hang with the big boys and get that number north of 35 points? Would it be enough?
If the Oilers call up only Hartikainen, the roster might look like this:
- Goal (2): Devan Dubnyk, Nikolai Khabibulin
- Defense (7): Ryan Whitney, Ladislav Smid, Jeff Petry, Justin Schultz, Nick Schultz, Corey Potter, Theo Peckham
- Center (4): Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Sam Gagner, Shawn Horcoff, Eric Belanger
- Left W (5): Taylor Hall, Nail Yakupov, Ryan Smyth, Ben Eager, Darcy Hordichuk
- Right W (4): Ales Hemsky, Jordan Eberle, Teemu Hartikainen, Lennart Petrell
meaning they're one short. They could add any of the following:
- G Yann Danis
- D Colten Teubert
- C Anton Lander
- C Chris VandeVelde
- L Magnus Paajarvi
- R Mark Arcobello
and I'm sure a few others could end up being considered (Fedun, Marincin, Green) but I think we've got them surrounded. Suspect Edmonton adds someone for the big club or chooses from column B above but replaced that player in OKC with a solid AHL veteran.
As crazy as it sounds, it looks from here as though there is a huge opportunity for this guy to shine. The Ryan Jones injury combined with a strong organizational need to add some skill to the 3-4 lines makes Paajarvi a solid option. He might end up on a 3line with Horcoff-Smyth or possibly part of a 4line with Belanger and Petrell. No matter how things shake out, he needs to play well and make sure the coach can call on him in as many situations as possible. That's how Fernando Pisani passed Daniel Cleary, and Paajarvi doesn't have anyone of Cleary's quality in his way.
New coach, fresh chance. Knock it out of the park, young man. And if the Oilers don't call him up, shame on them.
We wait.

FRIDAY, May 20 (HealthDay News) -- Treating chronic lower back
pain can reverse pain-related changes in brain activity and
function, according to a new study.
Prior research has shown that people with chronic pain may
experience cognitive problems and reduced gray matter in brain
areas that play a role in pain processing and the emotional aspects
of pain, such as anxiety and depression. But it wasn't clear if
treating chronic pain could reverse those brain changes.
This study included patients who had lower back pain for more
than six months and underwent either spinal injections or spinal
surgery to treat the pain. MRI scans of the patients' brains were
conducted before and six months after their procedures.
"When they came back in, we wanted to know whether their pain had lessened and whether their daily lives had improved. We wanted to see if any of the pain-related abnormalities found initially in the brain had at least slowed down or been partially reversed," study senior author Laura S. Stone, of the Alan Edwards Center for Research on Pain at McGill University in Montreal, said in a university news release.
Brain activity and function did show signs of recovery in the
patients after treatment, the researchers found.
The study was published May 17 in the
Journal of Neuroscience.
"If you can make the pain go away with effective treatment, you can reverse these abnormal changes in the brain," she said.

WEDNESDAY, Dec. 1 (HealthDay News) -- Loud snoring, difficulty
falling asleep and unrefreshing sleep are each significant
predictors of the development of metabolic syndrome, finds a new
Metabolic syndrome refers to the presence of at least three of
five risk factors for heart disease, diabetes and stroke. The risk
factors are: excess abdominal fat; high triglycerides; low HDL
("good") cholesterol; high blood pressure; and high blood
U.S. researchers studied 812 people, aged 45 to 74, for three
years and found that the risk of developing metabolic syndrome was
more than two times higher than normal in those with frequent loud
snoring, 80 percent higher in those with difficulty falling asleep,
and 70 percent higher in those with unrefreshing sleep.
When they focused on the individual risk factors for metabolic
syndrome, the researchers found that loud snoring significantly
predicted the development of high blood sugar and low HDL
cholesterol. Difficulty falling asleep and unrefreshing sleep did
not predict any individual risk factors.
The findings, published Dec. 1 in the journal
Sleep, highlight the importance of screening patients for common sleep complaints during routine doctor visits, according to the researchers.
"This is the first prospective study to show that a broader array of commonly reported sleep symptoms, including insomnia and sleep-disordered breathing symptoms, predict the development of the metabolic syndrome, a key risk factor for cardiovascular disease," lead author Wendy M. Troxel, an assistant professor of psychiatry and psychology at the University of Pittsburgh, said in an American Academy of Sleep Medicine news release.
"It was rather striking that the effects of difficulty falling asleep and loud snoring were largely independent of one another," she added.

Office of Vital Records
Amend a Birth Certificate After Adoption
Children born in the State of Arizona and adopted in Arizona or another state
Adoption is a process completed by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Office of Vital Records is responsible for amending the birth certificate after an adoption has been finalized. By the tenth day of the month, all adoptions finalized in the preceding month, shall be forwarded by the court to the State Office of Vital Records for the birth certificate to be amended to reflect the adoptive information (A.R.S. § 36-336). If the court does not send the information to the Office of Vital Records, the adoptive parent can submit a certified copy of the adoption decree and the Adoption Worksheet to amend the birth certificate.
When the birth certificate is amended after an adoption, the new birth certificate shall state the city or county of birth stated on the original birth certificate and the date of birth stated on the original birth certificate. The Office of Vital Records may omit the exact location of the birth on the registered birth certificate if so stated in the court order. (A.R.S. § 36-337.E)
After the Office of Vital Records amends the birth certificate, the original birth certificate shall be sealed along with the evidentiary documents (court order, adoption certificate) provided to amend the birth certificate. The sealed record cannot be opened.
If the Office of Vital Records receives a court order annulling an adoption, the Office of Vital Records will unseal the original birth certificate and shall return the original birth certificate to the "active" birth registry.
A fee is charged for this service and includes one certified copy of the new birth certificate. Additional copies may also be requested. Please see Fee Schedule.
Children born in another state and adopted in Arizona
When the Office of Vital Records receives an adoption, a court order for adoption, a change to a court order for adoption or an annulment of an adoption for a person born in another state, the documents along with a cover letter will be mailed to the appropriate registration authority in the state where the person was born. The adoptive parents will receive a copy of the letter as well.

from the beginning of time men have been the protectors and defenders of women. only 1% of the population fight our wars. so instead of initiating the draft, these gutless politicians want to put our daughters and grandaughters in harms way. so while women are dodging bullets at war, the countrys' men of the same age are pretending to play war on their x-boxes. this is shameless cowardice to let men hide behind the skirts of women at war!!
I think if you are equal then you are equal in all things .
I recall back in high school we had this girl who was tuff as nails. She was nicknamed "The Wrestler". One day this kid makes a wisecrack at her and she gets him in a bear hug, flings him over the railing and down the front steps of our high school. I could see this girl with a machine gun and a war-painted face. For all I know she might be in Special Forces now. Not all women wear lace panties. This one wore burlap.
It is completely ridiculous to have women in combat. Captured women will be raped and the men left behind know that - making their capture trigger a different set of responses - detrimental to the military as a whole.
Do you not think that the women in the service know that there is a chance of getting raped.
it's said that women have a better chance of being molested and raped by their fellow soldiers than an enemy. i just hope that women are never forced into combat unwillingly. why would any woman choose this? and, by the way, when rape does occur they said that nothing usually happens to the man and the woman is bounced out of the service. sounds great, doesn't it?
The A holes in our admin knows not what they have done....the women will now have to sign up for the selective service, just like the guys....can't wait to see what the Muslim B*&%$TARD says when his girls have to sign up too.....It will be just wonderful to see that response....
When will people accept we are in the age where we are supposed to be equal in all things in the eyes of the law. It's taken me a long time to come to terms with that, especilly because we are not equal individually in our skills and abilitites. Next comes freedom of choice. Now that women are equal in the military, they now can choose to participate, or not. After all, it is a voluntary military system.

I have been getting e-mails and calls for the past couple of months from a group called Repeal the Casino Deal, which has set out to amass 69,000 signatures by Nov. 20 as a crucial step in the process of putting a repeal of the state's casino law on the ballot in 2014. At first I resisted, mostly out of instinct: The law already passed. It's a done deal. Why are these do-gooders bothering me? But they wore me down. I will sign their petition, and I think it's worth explaining my reasons.
It's not because I feel any kind of moralizing urge to meddle in the business of my fellow citizens. If consenting adults derive ritual satisfaction from transferring their capital to large corporations in the course of playing repetitive sedentary games against quixotic odds, I am not moved to interfere. You want to gamble? Knock yourself out.

A Word About Writing: One Author, Seven Questions
An Interview with Elissa Schappell, by Maria Gagliano
I wouldn't want to imagine the contemporary literary world without Elissa Schappell in it.
She is fiercely dedicated to celebrating new writing, and her generosity of spirit touches so many facets of our community. As an editor, she learned from mentors at the Paris Review and in the 1990s went on to cofound Tin House, one of our generation's most revered literary magazines. These days, Schappell contributes to Tin House as editor-at-large while also penning book reviews in her "Hot Type" column in Vanity Fair—making her role as a reader just as influential as her editorial work.
Schappell is a fiction writer to the core. Her latest book, Blueprints for Building Better Girls, was chosen as one of the best books of the year by outlets as varied as the Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, and O magazine. And perhaps not surprisingly given her obsession with new writing, Schappell also makes time to teach creative writing in the MFA programs at Columbia University and Queens University.
I'm equally inspired by Schappell's ass-in-chair dedication to writing as I am by her literary hustle. Writing doesn't come any easier because of her many lit jobs: the first drafts are still rough and rambling,... Read more

Why Ranch dressing is white.
by I love penis!!!! :) June 02, 2011
is an organic fluid known as semen that usually contains spermatozoa. It is secreted by the gonads (sexual glands) and other sexual organs of male or hermaphroditic animals, including slugs, for fertilization of female ova. The process of discharge is called ejaculation.
by Rck February 19, 2007
One of many slang words for semen. The male reproductive fluid, semen (or jizz) consists of a soap-like substance (secreted by the prostate and seminal vesicles), sperm, fructose (non-sweet sugar), and water. Its major purpose is to fertilize the ova (or "eggs") in most mammals and select other jawed vertebrates, and it goes by MANY names. It is secreted in the process scientifically known as ejaculation, during the male orgasm.

Andrew Borakove of Gongs Unlimited strikes a gong in his warehouse in Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 17, 2013. Borakove, a former comedy writer from California, switched occupations and moved to Lincoln, Neb., where he may be the world's pre-eminent gong dealer, selling hundreds of gongs, stands and gong-banging mallets a year. His clientele runs the gamut from car dealerships to Dubai casinos to rocker Roger Daltrey. (AP Photo/Nati Harnik)
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Listen closely, and the deep rumblings of gongs can be heard emanating from a small warehouse in an industrial section of Lincoln in southeast Nebraska.
New York City native Andrew Borakove keeps his inventory for Gongs Unlimited in the building tucked away on the southwest edge of the city. And each day, he "tests" the merchandise for customers who call wanting a certain sound by holding the phone up to the gongs as they're struck.
A decade ago, Borakove, 51, was a television comedy writer living in Los Angeles. But the work was hit-or-miss, and his family was growing.
He said he headed to the beach one day to meditate and seek divine guidance for his life. It was during that time that he was hit with the notion to sell gongs.
"You get the vision, then you test it with software," Borakove said. "You beta-test it."
His research showed there was high demand for the flat, metal musical discs, but few sellers on the Internet. So, in 2005, he started Gongs Unlimited with a $3,000 line of credit. Two years later, he and his business moved from LA to Lincoln's southwest edge — sight unseen — after he had another whim, this time to relocate to a midsize Midwest community.
"I just put my finger on a map, and it landed on Nebraska," Borakove said. "My wife is from Elkhorn. She's the one who went and picked out the house. But the day I moved was the first time I ever set foot in Nebraska."
Now, Borakove may be the world's pre-eminent gong dealer, selling hundreds of gongs, stands and gong-banging mallets a year — $800,000 worth last year. His clientele runs the gamut from car dealerships to Dubai casinos to rocker Roger Daltrey of The Who.
"We're growing. We're bursting at the seams with our gongs," he said. "We're putting on a big gong show, really."

Tips To Shed Your Magazine Collection
And How To Organize the Rest
When Domino recently closed its doors forever (huge sob) our knee-jerk reaction was to go out and collect the magazine's entire four year run. We have since reconsidered and have gone online to download our favorite inspirational photos from years past. We've got a few tricks up our sleeve when you're faced with the huge task of paring down a magazine collection and how to organize what's left...
- You'll first want to ask yourself, how often do you refer back to your magazines? Do you go back to the same five or do you rarely revisit them? If you never go back to your old magazines--ask yourself, why are you holding onto them? If you're hanging onto them because you think they'll be worth something someday (National Geographic) consider the fact that unless they're in pristine condition they won't be valuable to collectors.
- If you're hanging onto magazines for sentimental reasons, consider scanning in a handful that represent the best of the bunch and Craigsist or Freecycle the remainder.
- You've probably realized when you do refer back to your magazines, they're not searchable. If you're like us, you have a difficult time remembering which issue a particular article was in. Now when we get a magazine, we rip and read. As we're going through the magazine, we'll tear out the articles that interest us and recycle the rest of the magazine. Any article worth saving goes into a binder with categorized tabs (which is a cinch to refer back to when we're looking for something).
- Another tip that helps us out is to have retention guidelines for our magazines. One rule that is easy to follow is for every new issue that comes in the door, the old one goes out. Also keeping your magazines in a shallow tray and once the tray becomes full, recycling a few at a time.
- Don't forget to take your magazines to book clubs and trade or give away your old issues.
- Think about dropping off your old issues at a laundromat or free clinic before sending them to the recycling bin.
What are some rules you have with your magazine collection? Do you have some easy ways to eliminate old issues from your space? How do you organize the remainder?

forget the mags, i love the LAMP! where's it from? :D
Do we really need to shed our magazines? Looks like the economy is doing that for us. (RIP, Domino, Blueprint, House&Garden...)
Target circa 2007.
It can't be true - Domino? - I have every issue - this is not good
I rip out the pages I like and save them in a binder. The rest of the mag is recycled.
Ah, Vhision! You've missed the many boo-hoo posts and postings. Someone even created a blog:
I love lamp. haha
I had collected several years of Arch Digest, Dwell, Metropolitan Home and random issues of other magazines. I have been working since the first of the year to rip out what is interesting. As an interior designer, I have to walk the fine line of having some ideas around to inspire me without becoming a packrat. I have created files by room and some titled "millwork", "stairs" and "accessories". As the article says, they need to be searchable. Going forward, I am dog-earing corners on things I find interesting when I first read the magazine and then purging magazines at the end of every month. Many times, when I look back at what I dog-eared, I don't even remember what caught my eye or I have researched the idea during the month and the article/photo is no longer necessary.
Add an electronic subscription to your current hardcopy subscription. Zinio.com offers 10 digital issues of Metropolitan Home for $8.00. When I am done reading the hard copy, I recycle and keep the digital copy for future reference and inspiration.
It is cheaper than a magazine caddy, takes up no space, and creates no clutter.
I keep my favorites in clear plastic page protectors inside a three-ring binder. That way I can easily reference or reorganize, and fit multiple-page articles into a single sleeve.
One great way to get rid of old magazines is to give them to design majors. Fashion majors have to use fashion magazine photos for lots of assignments, interior design majors LOVE any and all issues of shelter mags, and graphic design majors find the variety of fonts, formats, etc. in a variety of magazines useful.
Edit, edit, edit (the posts, not your mag collection).
I like to keep old magazines, because every time I move to a new place, I have completely different design challenges. Articles I overlooked before suddenly come in handy.
Plus, it's fun to giggle over some of the once trendy rooms in old issues. It's a cautionary tale.
A tip: some magazines have more resale value than you think. I learned this the hard way trying to buy old issues of Martha Stewart Weddings once I got engaged. I ended up spending quite a lot on ebay -- particularly to get the really early issues.
I rip out what I want from Domino and put it in my idea book. I then recycle the mag. Maybe the last issue of Domino will be kept intact as a memorial and stored away.
I don't subscribe to any mags now since Domino is no more (sigh). But, to people who do save their magazines and have collections, don't feel pressured to discard them.
Sassy magazine was first magazine I subscribed to from the premiere issue when I was 14. I stopped after a few years since it was changing (why it eventually died). My dad talked me into getting rid of my collection. This was before ebay etc. I kept the premiere issue and the issue with Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love on the cover. I wish I had just taken them to university with me and said I had gotten rid of them. Sigh.
I too am a magazine junkie. And while I've spent years saving issues of Readymade, Outside, Men's Journal and other invaluable titles, it was getting too much.
On weekends now I find it therapeutic to pull out a stack, scan the cover and specific articles with recipes, destinations or inspirations that I can refer back to.
Since they're saved in pdf form, they're amazing to look at in Coverflow on a mac. A spotlight keyword search will draw up all titles with say Los Angeles, if that's what I'm looking for.
An added plus is being able to take them with me when I travel.
I wish I had the willpower to purge old design mags as ruthlessly as I should. I have more back issues than I care to remember. I find that some (e.g. Coastal Living) are easier to get rid of than others (e.g. House & Garden). I have subscriptions and back issues going back for a decade. I think it is easier for me to let go of the older issues than the later ones. My tastes have changed over that time and this has also helped to let go of things.
I don't think a clipping file would work for me. I would keep too many articles. I have known people who have made binders of design articles only to find that a single big binder takes up more space than a year or two's worth of issues of a mag. I find mags themselves to be fairly compact.
I keep them all, and I like it that way~!
i'm definitely keeping them and storing them all away.
Funny that occupant222 mentioned Sassy, as that was also the 1st magazine I subscribed to and collected. As the magazine changed over the years, I canceled my subscription & eventually got rid of all the old mags. To this day, I regret that decision! I have nothing but fond memories of that magazine & very much wish I could flip thru their old issues from time to time.
I'm a librarian, so I have a somewhat different viewpoint on this.
At my old job, at an academic library, I sold the back issues of a lot of technology magazines from the collection for literally thousands of dollars. (There are agencies that buy things like that to resell to library startups that want to develop their archives, for example.)
But in my current job in a public library, I am in charge of donated materials. We are offered National Geographics at least five or six times a year, and they are junk to us. (We have bound editions going back to the 1930's, and we are usually offered things within the last decade.) Nobody wants them, except SOMETIMES crafters (to cut) and schools (for the kids to cut.)
Certain craft and other "practical" magazines may have some kind of collector following, but most things are not "investments", so recycle them with impunity!
I hoard only my Fine Gardening and craft magazines, and I periodically go thru them page by page, rip out and keep things I really think I want, and recycle (or give away) the rest. Then periodically I purge the clippings, too!
Craig's List!
Every year of so I post an add for a free helping of design or cooking magazines by the bag. I always manage to give them away. One year I got 15 emails for Dwell. I guess I should have sold them. On second thought, maybe not, most of the URLs were academic and the folks picking them are usually really grateful grad students.

Statement from Georges C. Benjamin, MD, FACP, FACEP (E)
Executive Director
American Public Health Association
, June 12, 2009
– "With today's House passage of the long-awaited legislation that will give the FDA authority to regulate tobacco products, our nation has finally turned the corner.
"After decades of allowing tobacco companies to market their deadly products to our children and deceive consumers about the harm their products cause, our nation has finally chosen to place public health above profit. With about 443,000 deaths each year in the United States attributable to tobacco use, today's legislation is a monumental achievement that the public health community has waited years to celebrate.
"For more than 50 years APHA has recognized the threat posed by tobacco and fought to limit its use. We look forward to President Obama signing the bill into law and commit ourselves to continuing to protect the health of our nation from the harm of tobacco."

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (October 18, 2013) – The Rutgers volleyball team (4-16, 0-6) put forth a solid all-around performance, despite a four-set loss to Memphis in American Athletic Conference action on the road, Friday evening. After dropping the first two sets by scores of 27-25 and 25-18, the Scarlet Knights managed to pull out a 25-23 fourth-set win before dropping the final frame by a score of 25-19. RU had three players finish with double-digit kills and an additional five players finish with double-digit digs in the loss.
Sophomore outside hitter Alex Lassa (Eagle, Colo.) led all Rutgers' hitters with 20 kills and added 13 digs to notch her ninth double-double of the year. Also finishing in double-digit kills were sophomore outside Megan Stephenson (Burbank, Calif) and junior right ride Sofi Cucuz (Crown Point, Ind.), who each recorded 10 putdowns.
On the defensive end, Ali Schroeter (Bakersfield, Calif.) led the Scarlet Knights with 20 digs. Senior defensive specialist Tracy Wright (Fair Lawn, N.J.) finished second on the team with 17 digs, while sophomore DS Ronnie Komisarek (San Mateo, Calif.) added 14.
Junior setter Nicole Bayer (Concord, Ohio) recorded her second double-double of the season, distributing a team-high 26 assists and adding 10 digs. Freshman Lauren Cloyd (Champaign, Ill.) contributed a team-best six total blocks and added eight kills.
Memphis was led by Lauren Hawkins' 14 kills.
In the first set, the Scarlet Knights formed a tremendous comeback, rallying back from a 12-2 deficit to take a 20-19 advantage late in the frame. During the spurt, RU was able to outscore the hosts by an 18-7 margin to take their first lead of the stanza. The Tigers would earn the sideout on the following play the even the score at 20. Rutgers scored two straight after that to take a 23-21 advantage, but again Memphis came back to knot the score. Three more tied scores occurred, before the Tigers were able to pull out the 27-25 win in extra points.
Rutgers started the second set slowly, finding itself down 6-1 early on. The Scarlet Knights stayed within striking distance of the Tigers and got within three at 13-10, but the hosts proceeded to outscore RU by a 7-3 margin to take a commanding 20-13 advantage. Memphis would only allow the Scarlet Knights five more points in the frame before closing out the win.
After trailing early on in the third set, the Scarlet Knights were able to make a late push by way of a 6-2 run to get within a single digit at 21-20. RU managed to tie the score at 23 and proceeded to score two straight points following consecutive kills by Lassa and Cucuz. Rutgers put together their best offensive performance of the match in the third set, finishing the frame with a .262 clip by terminating 19 of 42 attacks. Lassa paved the way for the victory with eight kills alone in the frame on 13 attempts to finish with a remarkable .615 attack percentage.
RU carried their momentum into the fourth and final frame, leading the Tigers 6-2, but a 6-2 Memphis run soon evened the score at 8-8. Neither side was able to pull away by more than three points, until the hosts went on a 5-1 spurt to take a 21-17 advantage. Rutgers only managed two more points before dropping the set and match.
The Scarlet Knights continue AAC action on Sunday at Temple.

A hunting we will go

Hi ho the merry-o
A hunting we will go
— Ramsay Snow
by Howling Mad
Prince Theon's a bit of a prick
And sometimes as thick as a brick
But then he met Ramsay
Now he's not that fancy
Like Bill said, "This man has no dick"
By Juanvito
Meet the Prince of Winterfell,
You will take note of his smell!
He's often abused
By a son of Lord Roose
And to his wits he said farewell.
By Franz95
Lord Snow cut off poor Theon's conger
Doesn't mean he won't use it no longer
There is truth to the lines
What is dead never dies
But instead rises harder and stronger.
By Juanvito
Reek is a kind of pet
He's kept chained up with the girls
He eats rats raw
And is grateful to be alive in the world.
He is loyal to Ramsay
He doesn't dare snarl or whine
He looks down when speaking
And is submissive all of the time.
by Dracarya
Ramsay like's his girls moister then the rain
But Poor Jeyne Poole was filled with so much pain
So to get her started Theon gave her brain
Something he can do, but cant be done by Illyn Payne

Homecoming - Green Day
Part I: The death of Cersei's sanity!
My heart is beating from me
I am standing all alone
Please tell me Jaime, that you are coming home
Waste another year flies by
Waste a night or two
You taught me how to live
In the walk of shame
Where I've lost my pride on the way
There's no sign of hope
The whores and scum of the city just spoke
There's a glow of light
My Ser Jaime is the spark in the night
Bearing swords and trust
A memory in the city of lust
Valonqar what's your name
Is your pleasure really my pain?
Do I drink too much? Do you think what I want is too much?
In the crowd of pain
My Jaime comes in memories of shame
He says "we're fucked up" but we're not the same
And mom and dad are the ones we can blame
Joffrey died some day
He coughed his lungs all out on the way
In my state of mind
That's my own private suicide
Part II: North, Wall1, Kingsroad.
And nobody cares
And nobody cares
Does anyone care if nobody cares?
And nobody cares
And nobody cares
Does anyone care if nobody cares?
I am filling out paperwork now
At the Wall on the end of the Kingsroad
They're not listening to a word no
They fight their own wars
And I'm wolfdreaming
I'd rather be doing something else now
like swordfighting or foolin' round in underground caves
My life is filled with responsibility now
And I've had enough
And they've had plenty
Somebody get me out of here
Anybody get me out of here
Somebody get me out of here
Get me the fuck right out of here
So far away
I don't want to stay
Get me out of here right now
I just wanna be free
Is there a possibility
Get me out of here right now
This life up here ain' t for me
Part III: Nobody likes Tyrion!
I fell asleep while winning at cyvasse
After 10 cups of strongwine
And you're still not here
Dreaming of a song
But something went wrong
And I can't tell anyone
'Cause no one's here
I came here alone
When I should've stayed home
After 10 cups of strongwine
I'm wondering: Where whores go?
Nobody likes you
Everyone left you (Where whores go?)
They're all out without you waging war (where whores go)
Everyone left you
Nobody likes you (Where whores go?)
They're all out without you waging war (where whores go)
Part IV: Non-Bastard Ramsay
I got a non-bastard name
I got a non-bastard life
I got a non-bastard play thing
And a non-bastard wife
I got a non-bastard house
I fought a non-bastard war
I flay the shit out your skin
And I have bitches who bark
I killed a kid at the mill
I killed more kids on the way
I haven't flayed or hunted nothin'
In over one or two days
So get off of my case
off of my case
off of my case
Part V: Wolves coming home again
Here they come howling up the street
Like a silent hopeful murmur of a heart beat
Coming back from the edges of the world
Still proud on their feet
Their time has come and it's going nowhere
Nobody ever said that life was fair now
Memories and scars are treasures they will bear
In the winter cold
The world is spinning
Around and around
Out of control again
we will rule when the winds of winter come
So send the Boltons a wolf pack,
Freys and Lannisters to hell
We're the Wolves coming
Home - we're coming home again
Home - we're coming home again
The North fuckin' remembers
Just like the seasons go round and round
We're back in the North and howl-
No one will bring our Kingdom down!
Home - we're coming home again
Home - we're coming home again
Home - we're coming home again
Home - we're coming home again
Home - we're coming home again
Home - we're coming home again
Home - we're coming home again
Home - we're coming home again
Home - we're coming home again
Nobody likes you
Everyone left you
They're all out without you waging war
By Lady of Oldcastle
Today's casual friday, guess that means no rules
But no rhymes come to mind, cant think of what to write
Mayhaps I'll do a poem to a post, that has been a Marrilion times revived
How about our very own rhyming top five dead or alive?
It is no wonder why
That my silver queen in the sky
The one with enchanting violaceous eyes
Who abolished slavery and is the slayer of lies
My Targaryen queen takes my heart as number five
But a man like me needs some blood and gore
I never thought these books would have such villans and horror
I'm not talking about Sweet Cersei and the damn boar
I hated Theon so much I can not implore
But poor Reek oh how much i adore
Yea my mans Ramsay flays his way to number four
Only one Stark here, the kids with the trees
Poor child refused to see the enemy
Till it was to late, but she was still forced on her knees
But that's all changed, my little bird flys free
One day she will be Queen in the North, and mayhaps the East
The young and beautiful to take out Cersei
How can Sansa Stark not be number three?
From the start of Maester Cressen's POV, we knew that he would lose
The memories past of his brothers abuse
Has my favorite king grinding his tooth
He'll kill his own hand, for attempting a truce
Worshiping a God, that he does not think is true
I know he's not a prophet, but Stannis is still numeber two
From when the story had first been begun
We saw the dwarf screaming "Wear it like armor" from the top of his lungs
He fought in battles, never craven to run
And killed his own sire, as he rejoiced to "your not my son"
From Achilles to Skywalker, protagonists been bitchin
But Imp Lord Tyrion is my number one character in fiction
by Ndrew of Typhgarian

I've been watching from the sidelines for a while, but I think I'm going to join in on this one.
Here are a few ideas. I immediately started thinking of swarming bugs for some reason, so I went with beetle and moth/butterfly ideas. I use the Photobooth mirror idea from the Alien Race book to come up with the shapes for them- can you guess what I used? I'm digging the bottom one so far, its got a little demon-face thing going on... I just kept drawing the rest for the heck of it. I'm only worried that these ideas won't be unique enough. Should I push the design farther?

HO MY....did anyone say freakin awsome topic O_O? ho w8 that was me....
wips on thier way ^_^
Jesus christ my mind is allready melting over all the hot awesoemenss that will be in finals! arrh.. this will be so fun
Do what you love ~ Love what you do
Check out
well heres my idea and i just gotta say that DAMN this is an exciting subject ^(^ _ ^)^
these are called the collectors ,these demonic beings live in hell (well where else can they live at >_>) and collect wondering souls.
now about the thing:
*decided to go black and white first to get the details done quickly so its not that red and hot atm
* still havent decided about how those tentacles at the buttom ends but theyre supposed to be used as both legs and well...tentacles ^ , ^.
*lots of work to be done here so i hope ill finish it on time
C&C are more then welcomed so cmon ppl start stoping those crits in here ^(^ _ ^)^
and if i forgot to mention.....this topic ROCKS !aham *cough cough* back to work....
Well, I am thinking about making it like a moving mountain that spews lava everywhere. That being said, I am thinking about using turtle, lizard, giant, mountain and lava elements.
But I wanted to see what thumbnails you guys like, so here.
(these are all really rough)
I am leaning towards 2,5 and 13.
My first post on ConceptArt.org! When I saw these contests I just had to participate! So here is my first sketch for the contest, let me know what you think! It is based off a Pompeii worm.
Cool topic indeed!
Sperling: That's an interesting technique for finding forms. I'd say the fish route is definitely original, but the guy in the center probably has the most potential. As for the design, push it! Push it hard till it almost falls over, then you'll have a great design.
acb: Looks like it's gonna be awesome. No crit yet.
Duman: First one and 4th row far left would be my choice.
Jatari: Welcome. Great start!

Duman nice thumbs, I like the fat-slim lizards you have close to the bottom.
Jatari, Welcome to COW, where twisted imagination is put on paper looks like a hot wurm creature, cool!
scourge Love the wip man, reminds me of Aliens though..with a new twist i suppose
ActsOfBob lovely first post! colors, mood, and the creature looks great! keep it up.
did some doodling, My mind keeps resetting back to a behemoth-like bull so I might just go in that direction. Gonna rush it since workload kinda weighing me down.
quick scribble of the rough direction of where I am going with red hot doom
Dwinbotp: Thanks for the input dude. Always appreciated! Loving your ideas as well. It was looking a little too alienesque so I decided to beef it up a bit.
Man, this really is a fun topic.

Sup all?! This is my first time on COW. I did all these sketches last night and today and I'm a little stuck picking one. I like 4/6 (they're pretty much the same thing), 5 and 3). I went to art school so I can handle a good critique! Thanks everyone! This should be loads of fun.
wow @_@ cool crits everyone
sperling- well i think that its an interesting idea but if yure uncertain about those sketches then i think you should try sketching out some more untill youd find something you like

Bradford A Rigby-i really like 1 and 3 ,those reallty looks demonic and doomlike
updates coming soon
Bradford. For me it's hands down # 5. I think it's got a bit of a Lovecraftian feel to it.
Bonedaddy - Awesome sketch! I really like the head. I would like to see some natural plated spikey armor and large shoulders. Just to see what it would look like. All in all great concept!
Thanks, I was toying with adding the spikey armor. I think I'll go for it.
Holy crap! Dwintbop!!! Awesome!!!
Cy-an- Looking good! Finish it, yeh?
Bonedaddycash- cool!
Bradford- yeppers! #5!
mORE WIP... might add a rider? or spider webbing? hmmm...
Bradford A Rigby: I actually like the first one a lot. Like a magma demon or something like that. The fact that it floats is creepy.
Bonedaddycash: I like your creature. Especially the blade like face. Have you thought about a tail?
ActsOfBob: You creature is looking really cool, especially the face. It looks truly demonic. Im not sure about the blade feet, however. I might try a few more variants of the feet, or maybe just a few more blade designs.
ImaGEEnation: I like the head and pose of your creature, but I am having some trouble reading the rest of the figure.

Field guide to meteors and meteorites
Norton, O. Richard.
Adult Nonfiction QB741 .N67 2008
Norton, O. Richard.
Adult Nonfiction QB741 .N67 2008
Summary: What is unique about Richard Norton's book is that it is both a field guide to observing meteors, and also a field guide to locating, preparing and analysing meteorites. In addition to giving the reader information about observing techniques for meteors, this book also provides a fully detailed account of the types of meteorites, how and where to find them, how to prepare and analyse them. The book provides everything the amateur astronomer (or geologist!) needs to know about meteors and meteorites. It is thus the only complete book on the subject available at present.
