Developed from the operational experience of the Magpul DynamicsSM team, the B.A.D. Lever (Battery Assist Device) is designed to considerably improve the speed and efficiency of the AR15/M16 bolt catch. The B.A.D. Lever quickly addresses reloading and malfunction clearance shortcomings of AR15/M16 platforms by extending a paddle to the right side of the weapon, allowing manipulation of the bolt stop from the fire control/ready position with the right-hand trigger finger. Made from milspec-anodized aluminum, the B.A.D. Lever attaches to the standard AR15/M16 bolt release without permanent modification to the weapon. Functional for both left and right-handed shooters, the B.A.D. Lever also allows traditional bolt catch manipulation according to the AR15/M16 manual of arms. All mounting hardware included.

What is the meaning behind the quote, "and we shall all laugh at the gilded butterflies"?
I think it a beautiful saying and I am not sure what it means which makes me wonder why I like it if I do not know what it means.
I have a theory that it means similar to the "gilded lilly" saying which means to make superfluous additions to what is already complete. Or to adorn unnecessarily something already beautiful.
Butterflies, like lillies, are already beautiful and to add on to that beauty could ruin it's natural beauty and make it look stupid. This puts some reason behind why Sir Lear may laugh at the butterflies who have been gilded unnessisarily.
Any way I just thought if anyone had their own interpretation of the quote I would love to hear it from someone, eispecially if it is different to my own. Or adds on to my own. Thankyou.
1 Answer | Add Yours
You have hit the meaning exactly. Lear says this as he & his daughter Cordelia are being led to prison. He has since realized that Regan and Goneril have lied to him and betrayed him, while Cordelia remained loyal. She is the only one who was honest with him, although her answer greatly enraged him at first.
Yet now he is almost looking forward to a simple life with Cordelia, where they can listen to court gossip and laugh at the foolishness of it all. Essentially, he is calling the others prisoners as well, although they may be unaware of it. A gilded butterfly would have unnecessary extravagance, and would also be unable to fly. Thus he and Cordelia will laugh at their pettiness and the fact that they are just as trapped. Here is the full quote:
"We two alone will sing like birds i' the cage…
…so we'll live,
And pray, and sing, and tell old tales, and laugh
At gilded butterflies, and hear poor rogues
Talk of court news; and we'll talk with them too,
Who loses and who wins; who's in, who's out;
And take upon 's the mystery of things,
As if we were God's spies…" --King Lear, Act V, Scene 3
On a side note, I find it interesting that this quote has suddenly found popularity on the body of Megan Fox. It seems rather ironic to me, as many would consider film stars the gilded butterflies of our society. Indeed, those that seek plastic surgery or outrageously expensive clothes to enhance their already natural beauty should think upon this quote.

Late TD pass gives Minden 26-21 win
Players that come out for high school football for the first time as a senior usually don't expect to become an impact player during their first couple of games.
Many become back-up players who get little playing time, however, there are always a few that break that rule and make a difference when they first step on the field. Derek Herrington is one of those impact players.
Herrington caught a game-high nine passes for 158 yards, including a 57 yard gem from Turner Francis, where he broke free and sprinted in for the Tide's second score of the game. He also had a 36 yard kick return and showed that he was dangerous from any spot on the field.

About Amazon Therapeutic LabsThey believe that empirical wisdom and modern science can combine important resources for a long term vision of biological health. They are adamant in support of indigenous land rights and intellectual property. Their trademarks and proprietary formulations are registered on behalf of indigenous societies in the Amazon Basin and Andes Mountains. A portion of each sale is designated to help protect natural heritage through conservation projects.
Some US-based pharmaceutical companies continue to lobby against traditional medicines while at the same time multinational companies comb the jungles and bio-prospect from raw material found within native lands, attempting to patent the very chemicals which are found within the traditional herbs themselves. Often, once a new drug is identified, some laboratories immediately seek ways to synthesize the drug in their laboratories, departing from natural medicine altogether. Once synthesized, the natural botanical is rendered into a synthetic substance which can them be patented and claimed. Sole rights over the distribution of the drug, and even the proprietary rights of use as a treatment for particular ailments, have been transferred from wild botanicals of world heritage origins, to a wholly-owned drug placed in the hands of a single company. Countries such as Brazil, Peru and India are now leading the charge to help protect their indigenous intellectual property rights. Amazon Bio-Therapeutic Laboratories participates in South American congressional meetings to help find equitable solutions to this growing dilemma.
Don't fret! Check out these suggested similar and related items below. Happy shopping!
Amazon Therapeutic Laboratories - Qat Tea - 1 oz. (30 ml)
Amazon Therapeutic Laboratories Qat Tea. This indigenous tree has found its niche within the culture of several indigenous tribes. Quechua, Tappisco, Shuar, Woroni, etc. indicate that cultivars have literally been passed down from generation to generation as tribes migrated through, the river system of the upper Amazon. Their expedition have documented healthy trees that have been sustainably harvested for over 200 years. These trees were hand planted by the elders of the clans as they migrated within the jungle.
Amazon Therapeutic LabsAmazon Therapeutic Laboratories originally came about as a collaboration between Jerome Black, Tom Baldwin, and Shannon Casey- 2 of his long term customers from the early days of the Oregon Exotics Fruit Nursery.
Residing on the big island of Hawaii, Tom and Shannon have since founded and manage a botanical sanctuary of their own known as ULUWEHI FARM & NURSERY, which features several acres of intensively cultivated tropical plants including hard to find Amazon medicinal and wild fruits in order to supply voucher samples for our laboratories. Tom works with the living botanical germplasm of numerous tropical species and Shannon is a trained geneticist familiar with both temperate and tropical genetics.
Their experience with permaculture enables ATL to plan education seminars directly in the Amazon basin and other tropical regions. Together they are developing protocols for sustainable permaculture designs of tropical plant species for food, fiber, and medicines. Tom and Shannon's participation ensures that ATL maintains an ethical approach to plant harvesting and sustainable organic cultivation. Favored by top herbalists, practitioners, and retail stores who require quality, these are certified organic products of high integrity.]
Amazon Therapeutic Laboratories HelpsAmazon Therapeutic Laboratories works for the preservation of rainforests and to uphold the intellectual property rights of native healers and their traditional medicines. A portion of each purchase supports the type of research and education that helps carry forward a tradition of natural healing and the sustainable care of taking of forest habitat.

Senator Edward J. Markey promised Wednesday morning to introduce legislation setting new targets for clean energy and efficiency improvements over the next two decades and to fix the nation's aging natural gas system.
The promises were made as part of the Massachusetts Democrat's maiden speech in the Senate, in which he also pledged action on global warming, gun control, and student loan rates. He used much of the 20-minute speech to pay tribute to Massachusetts and Malden, the city from which he said "this son of a milkman is now serving the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in the United States Senate."

Before & After: IKEA Changing Table Into Home Office Desk
Like many of us, Weiya was searching for an affordable solution for her storage woes, searching for a piece which could work as a landing strip for her personal belongings (keys, diaper bag, etc), while also provide additional storage underneath, and surface area for her laptop. She found her solution at IKEA, but decided to take the $30 changing table another level with some DIY customization...
Originally looking for a small storage solution for my diaper bag and keys (because our house lacks a mudroom or entry space), my husband and I ended up coming home with this Sniglar changing table! With the help of some paint, cute shelf-liners, fabric containers, and wood, I transformed this simple piece into a small laptop workspace for our bedroom - complete with a spot for my diaper bag and keys!
The finished project looks fantastic and it appears Weiya could further customize the setup by elevating it further into a standing desk if desired (although, considering mothers deserving every opportunity to relax, perhaps finding an adjustable height task chair is the better solution).
More details about the IKEA Sniglar Changing Table Makeover.

but ... how do you do with your legs?
I don't understand this. It looks a computer desk for someone who doesn't want to enjoy the computer. No place to put your legs + chair that is too deep and the wrong height.
I would use a stool instead of the chair but, the overall effect looks nice : ]
I like the idea as a place to set my laptop to charge or live and great for organization in general.
First of all, thanks so much Apartment Therapy for featuring my DIY! :) To the rest of the commenters, I totally appreciate your questions and comments. I definitely am aware that this table is too high... which is why I had mentioned in my blog that I may need to cut the legs down or get a higher chair. This is by no means my permanent desk that I will be spending hours in, but more so a temporary workspace for those 5 minute email checks or just a space to relax and sit at :) The chair that I have in the picture was just one that I already had...not one that I will be permanently using for that space.
Hope that helps to answer some of the questions. If you have any other questions, please feel free to email me at email@example.com.
For 30 dollars, this is a great idea for any room. Storage underneath with just the shelves or the perfect 'hiding' baskets..a nice flat top to use as needed for anything..It was also remade so cutely!
I bought one of these tables for $10 in Ikeas clearance section. It's made a fantastic potting/garden station in my basement mud room. I love seeing the different uses people come up with for things. Yours is way cuter than mine :)
This looks great! We have this table, but are close to being done with it as a change table and I vaguely had a thought about using it as a plant stand but I think I like this idea is better. Thanks for the inspiration!
I want to put hinges on the top and make a secret storage and flip the top over to make room for legs. LOVE this.
I would have never thought of transforming this changing table, but now I have all sorts of ideas! While we don't need a computer desk, I love ddcute's idea of a potting table.
I use my ikea changing table to silkscreen on. Perfect height, just built a board I can take on and off and it stores my paints underneath. Those changing tables have many lives, glad to see how you used yours.
Nice repurposing, i love the baskets to hide your stuff. I think it's fine to use a computer for short periods without being able to tuck your legs under, a seat is a seat!
But...are you allowed to have pictures on AT if you have a PC? I cannot think when I have seen a post with a PC laptop :)

Lighter Pumpkin Roll Cake
330 Fewer Calories
12 g Less Fat
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/4 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 egg whites, at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup pure canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
1 1/2 cups fat free frozen thawed nondairy whipped topping
1/3 cup English toffee bits
1 tablespoon dark rum
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 10 1/2 x 15 1/2 – inch jelly-roll pan with wax paper and spray with cooking spray. Dust a clean kitchen towel with the confectioners' sugar, and set aside.
Combine the flour, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and salt in a medium bowl.
With an electric mixer on high speed, beat the egg whites in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Add 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. Set aside. In a medium bowl, with the mixer on high speed (no need to clean the beaters), beat the egg yolks and remaining 1/2 cup sugar until pale yellow and thickened, about 4 minutes. Add the vanilla, beating until a ribbon forms when the beaters are lifted. Reduce the speed to low. Beat in the pumpkin until blended. With a rubber spatula, add the flour mixture until blended. Gently fold the beaten whites into the egg yolk mixture just until no streaks of white remain.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Bake until the cake springs back when lightly pressed in the center, about 15 minutes. Run a thin knife around the cake to loosen it from the pan; invert onto the sugar-dusted towel; carefully peel off the wax paper. While the cake is still warm and starting with a short side, roll up the cake with the towel. Place, seam side down, on a rack and let cool completely.
Meanwhile, to make the filling, combine the whipped topping, toffee pieces, and rum in a medium bowl. Unroll the cake and remove the towel. With a narrow metal spatula, spread the filling over the cake. Reroll the cake; place, seam side down, on a serving plate. Dust with confectioners' sugar and cut into 8 slices.

India's 17th-century Mughal rulers were great lovers of pearls, jewels, and gemstones. The rulers of Hyderabad were especially known for their love of pearls of all sizes. Portraits from that era show men and women alike decked in elaborate jewelry from head to toe. Our simplified version of a Mughal pearl necklace is inspired by those portraits, called miniatures. Handcrafted in Jaipur, it features pink and white pearls along with delicate faceted garnet, amethyst, and carnelian.
Handmade in Jaipur, India. 24"L.

Comments about Jaipur Pearl and Garnet Necklace:
The beads are smaller than pictured, but it has a delicate look. The length can be adjusted by hooking it the catch between beads. A delicate Bohemian look. it is asymmetric and even more so if worn shorter
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Does not match the picture
By Susan the Jewelry lover
from Atlanta, GA
Although it is a pretty necklace, it does not look like a [$], or even [$], piece of jewelry. In the picture, it looks rich and elegant. But the actual necklace has very small garnet chips, and it is not at all outstanding. The length is a little awkward. It is too long and lightweight to rest on top of your clothing and just gets lost. The photographer did a great job with the picture!!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

And the name?
The name "Glasstire" is an homage to Robert Rauschenberg's sculptures of tires cast in glass.
Who are you people?
Michael Bise – Featured Columnist
Michael Bise is an artist living in Houston, TX. Sometimes he thinks making art is a good thing that helps elevate the human spirit above the terrible reality of our physical existence. Other times he believes that we are destined to repeat a cycle of war, genocide and dictatorship, and that art is pointless. His inability to believe completely in either scenario is what allows him to keep making art.

JACKSON TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) -- Authorities have charged a Delaware man with sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl during a class trip to a New Jersey amusement park.
Police say Glen San-Andreas, 34, of Wilmington, Del., is held on $150,000 bail and is awaiting extradition to New Jersey. He's charged with second-degree sexual assault and child endangerment.
Jackson Police Lt. Steven Laskiewicz tells The Star-Ledger of Newark, N.J., San-Andreas was a parental chaperone on an April 27 trip to Six Flags Great Adventure.
Police say San-Andreas took the girl to a secluded area of the park and assaulted her.
Delaware State Police contacted Jackson police on May 7.

Uninstall office 2010 from SCCM fails
Hi all,
Trying to get uninstall to work for Office 2010 from SCCM.
This is my command line:
msiexec /x {90140000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE} /qb!
It starts fine and hogs a lot of CPU for about 1-2 minutes then it shuts down and
Office 2010 still remains installed.
What to do?
so that the conversation will remain readable.
How do I uninstall Office 2003, Office 2007 or Office 2010 suites if I cannot uninstall it from Control Panel?
I don't know if you've resolved this...but I've found that with Office 2003 and 2007, you have to reference the .msi that installed the application and use the Msiexe.exe to perform the uninstall;
Msiexec /u "path to install msi/whatever.msi" /qb!
This would work. Hopefully you already resolved your issue.
Microsoft also has an Office scrubber that you can run to do the uninstall. The one that I am using is called MicrosoftFixit50154.msi and it extract a file called OffScrub07.vbs. Only problem I am having is disabling the reboot warning at the end. No Setup.exe required with this one

Amy Brenneman: The Last Disney
That statement is so filled with memories, implications -- my own, yours, our culture's -- I feel like I could stop right there. Blog stop. You fill in the rest. You've all been there -- be it the Disneyland in Anaheim, the Disney World in Florida or any mad carousel of celebration that whisks you up, spins you around, gets you high as a kite, then spits you out, sputtering, on the other side of a weekend muttering to yourself, "What the f--- just happened?"
I was 39 years old before I set foot in one of Walt's parks. New England is woefully far from Disney-anything, although every February, at the end of winter break, the sojourners from Orlando would return to Connecticut, their eyes glistening from all they'd seen. Hard to come back to the farm after that. My parents were cultural snobs -- I think that's fair, Freddie and Russ, right? So we never partook. Their standard line was, "Why go to a pretend Paris when you can go to the real one?" Fine point. Except we didn't. We were not jet setters, financially or in their disposition. That line would make sense to a family that actually, um, went to Paris occasionally.
So it took a few trips to get my Disney sea legs -- figuring out how to navigate the crush of a crowd, the mood of a 3-year-old, the crashing of blood sugar. My So Cal-raised husband had sentimental memories to see him through ("Aw, the Teacups! I puked there when I was 4! Tom Sawyer's Caves! I smooched there when I was 14!"), but for me it was all new. I was seeing through my eyes, and of course through the eyes of my children.
We learned that, whenever possible, it was best to spend a night. That way, we could party like 5-year-old rock stars till the wee hours, then sleep in. Oh, wait: My kids never sleep in. Put them to bed at 7, they wake up at 6. Put them to bed at 11, they wake up at 6:05.
On Charlotte's birthday weekend, it was the same. And there, in the hotel at 6:06, standing on wobbly legs (contemplating the eternal parent question, "More sleep or more coffee? Is that really the end of the night??"), it struck me: Disneyland is the Vegas for kids.
Long ago, in another lifetime, Brad and I had a group of friends who made regular pilgrimages to Vegas. We liked to fly in at night, have our fun and fly out before 9 AM. That is, before the reality of day evaporated all the pixie dust. Stay too long and the hotels appeared tired, the Elvis impersonators looked depressed -- hell, we looked tired and depressed in any window we passed. No, the trick was keeping the fun ball bouncing and to get out of Dodge before it came crashing down.
So, too, Disneyland for the young set. Hear me out: We arrive at noon on a Saturday, crawling with anticipation. We bound through the park like untrained puppies, and all the rides seem brand new, magical, custom-made for us. At 4 PM, we flag. Should we return to the hotel and rest up? Hell, no! We are the champions, and we power through rides, popcorn and the fireworks show with puffed-up chests of accomplishment. To the kids -- because they've done so much -- we are the parents that have deftly, surreptitiously helped them avoid half a dozen meltdowns along the way.
That first day, the sun is bright, the churros fresh.
The next day, the sun is too bright and the churros are greasy.
We stumble through the park the second time with a Disney hangover. The kids squint, still trying to be enthusiastic, but the reality of their little bodies is catching up. They're tired. They're done. And truthfully, although they'd never admit it, they need a stalk of broccoli. It's time to go home.
In the car, we all sleep it off. (Er, except whoever is driving.) We return to our serene, dull home, and pull out the wooden trains. No bells. No whistles. No adult startling them in a Goofy suit. We detox.
Until nine months later or so, when the urge hits us again ....
|Amy Brenneman is an award-winning producer and actress whose TV credits include "NYPD Blue," "Judging Amy" (which she also created and produced) and, currently ABC's "Private Practice." She works with the nonprofit groups Healthy Child/Healthy World, The Feminist Majority and the Cornerstone Theater Company, of which she's a founding member. She is mother to Charlotte and Bodhi and wife to filmmaker Brad Silberling. They live in the San Fernando Valley, the most hip place to be in all of Los Angeles.
I remember feeling so tired after our Disney vacation. I was 13 the last time we been there. I remember my parents making us slow down & go to the room to rest for a while, but we kept wanting to go. So yes you can so get a Disney Hangover!
Getting out of the Dodge before the ball comes crashing down sounds like the way to do it =) Though a new found love for broccoli has a charm of its own.
I've been at Disney just one time, with 14 years old, (now 27) and remember like if it was yesterday, the magic all around… such amazing present I've won from my parents! And also nowadays I have friends from those great vacations! God bless the Disney Hangover, everybody deserves! LoooL
