Margie, Your Power Up program was extremely helpful to me. I joined the first call feeling really stuck. I finished the last feeling on fire! I can't tell you the difference it's made to my life. Truly, a very heartfelt thank you for doing what you do. Kathy T., Virginia Beach
Dear Margie, I thoroughly enjoyed the 4-week "Power Up your Life" sessions. Your program has proved to be an invaluable experience — I am grateful. As they say in Norway, "Tussen Takk" — translated to "A Thousand Thank Yous!" – Stephanie Abraham, Virginia - Founder & President www.abrahamllc.com
Power Up Your Life!™ has been designed specifically for women like you who want to stop settling and start living more purposefully and powerfully. Read Margie's latest article in Forbes Magazine.
The next program will kick off on Monday September 26th from 8-9pm Eastern and run every Monday night until October 17th.
7pm Central|6pm Mountain |5pm Pacific|10am Eastern Australia + 1 |Very late in the UK/Europe!
Can't make the call one week? Not a problem. All sessions will be recorded and a link will be sent to you the following day so you won't miss out on the discussion, the content and the infusion of courage!
Run over 4 consecutive weeks, this Group Coaching Program will take you through my Power Up Your Life!™ program specifically designed for women like you. You will learn valuable tools and take away practical ideas on how you can address the issues keeping you from enjoying a greater sense of purpose and success in your daily life.
In between each call you will also receive a 10 minute video message from Margie that recaps the lessons and reinforces your learning. As part of the program you will receive the Power Up Your Life™ Workbook
If you REGISTER BEFORE Friday September 16th, and you will get free enrollment in Margie's Find Your Courage eCoaching Program: a 13 week eCoaching program, each with a 10 minute audio recording, that will help you stay in courageous action toward your goals even when our coaching sessions have finished. (Purchased separately, this course costs $147 USD.)
Here is a sample of what you can expect from participating in this program:
Why invest? Because this is your one and only precious life.
Read testimonials from those who say it was one of their best investments ever.
Simply because it's your life, you only live it once, and you get out of it what you invest in it!
Margie, Thank you again for this wonderful program! What a great decision it was to be part of it. This has been one of the best investments of time and money that I've made in a long time!
From the first day I began applying what I learned and immediately began seeing and feeling positive changes. I've not only incorporated new skills and habits but I also feel incredibly inspired and clear about the vision for my life! I've begun designing my environment and schedule to ensure the busy-ness and demands of every day life don't take over and distract me from doing the things I really want and need to do in order to live my best life. In addition to your fabulous coaching skills and strategies I appreciate your warmth, generosity, authenticity and encouragement. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the opportunity to be part of "Power Up Your Life" and to get to know you and the other ladies. Again, this was one of the best investments of time and money that I've made in a long time! – Francie, Marietta, Georgia
Margie has a way with words. A concept expressed under a new light can sometimes instantly "flip-a-switch" and change the course of a lifetime. For me it was her thoughts on Forgiveness being the acceptance that the past cannot be changed. – Daria Filip, Toronto
I was always cynical about coaching. More so, whether it would really be helpful to me. But you created an environment that really drew me out of my cynicism and into a new world of thinking, of possibility and action. I have to say, this was probably the most worthwhile time and money I've spent in many many years. Suzie Devonport, Florida.
Why "group coaching"?
I know that you are busy. I also appreciate that not everyone can afford to engage their own personal coach. And as a busy mother of four myself, I also know that I don't have the capacity to work with as many people one-on-one as I would love to. So this program allows me to support women I otherwise might not have the opportunity to help. And besides that, it's convenient, it's dynamic and it's fun! Participants call into a telephone bridge (so long distance charges may apply) which means:
How big is the "group"?
The group size will be STRICTLY LIMITED to 12 fabulous women (btw, all women are fabulous! They just don't all know it.) This will allow for a dynamic and highly interactive learning environment for everyone. Each participant will be coached both directly through their own issues and vicariously through those issues shared by others. You can expect to gain tremendous value from the sharing of others and most people really enjoy the support that comes through a group of like-minded individuals. And as an added bonus, you will also build new friendships with other really cool women.
What happens on each call?
In each one hour session we'll have a check-in and update, Q&A and resource sharing, our topic(s) for the week and open coaching. Each session we will laugh, we will learn and we will have fun! You will also be given a "homework" assignment to do between sessions. But don't worry, it will be one you will get even more out of than the time you put into it! How fabulous is that?!
How much?
Your investment in this program – and in your future success and happiness – is USD $395
How to register?
You can pay online via PayPal or by check. Once you register below you will get an email with details for check payment. But if you have any questions please send an email to my fabulous assistant Val at firstname.lastname@example.com and she will provide you with necessary details including an invoice if needed.
What to expect on registering:
If you participate in this program you will receive:

What others have said about Margie's ability to coach them get 'unstuck' and achieve greater success (however they define it!):
Margie challenged me to confront my weaknesses. She helped me recognize I have much more control than I was allowing myself to believe. She encouraged me to have tough conversations with my co-workers and my husband–all which had positive impacts. Margie acted as an unbiased listener and a critical listener when necessary forcing me to take ACTION. I look forward to my weekly calls with Margie and with each session I have an action step. I have been successful in moving to a 4 day work week when I thought it would never happen. I am encouraged to confront a difficult or uncomfortable situation much earlier than I would have in the past. My job is to evaluate investments for clients and this investment of time with Margie has been a homerun for me.
Vice President | Investment Management Division | Goldman Sachs & Co, New York
Margie's integrity is flawless, her demeanor is warm and upbeat, and her prompting/coaching is thoughtful and provocative. I highly recommend her!
Mona Simons | Vice President | American Heart Association
Having Margie coach me provided me with the accountability to move my business, finances and personal relationships forward in the direction I wanted them to go. I couldn't budge them on my own because of my own obstacle – me! Margie's great questions, gentle insight and Australian accent made every coaching session more than just productive, each was empowering and fun.
Joan Luke | Regional Sales Coordinator | San Clemente, California
The time I have spent with Margie has given me the opportunity to feel more confident about the decisions I make and the actions I am taking to achieve goals, personal and professional. I am now better at prioritizing, saying no without feeling bad, delegating… In conclusion, these new ways of thinking and looking at things have not only helped me in my work environment, but with family and friends also. I can therefore highly recommend Margie as a coach.
Janet Johnson | Global Alliance Manager, Leading Consulting Firm | Dallas, Texas
Margie helped me evaluate my life goals and get me on the right path to achieving them. Ultimately, this led me to more fulfilling day-to-day living with less stress and more balance between my work and family. It was refreshing to discuss my issues with someone who wants to listen and is so very qualified to help. You can be assured that you will gain tremendous value from having Margie coach you.
Janice Singer | CPA | Coppell Texas
"Thanks a million for the workshop session we had. I got a lot out of it, personally and professionally. Especially feeling more empowered towards issues I've been going 'round & round' in circles with because I just didn't know how best to deal with them… "
Rhonda James | East Gippsland Shire Council |Victoria, Australia
Margie helped me put things into a different perspective; to not be so emotional. Her coaching assisted me in looking at things from an objective standpoint. She made it very easy for me to be open and I really appreciated her your caring guidance. It was not an easy task but I really appreciated her patience and objectivity. From my experience I believe that Margie is an exceptional coach. She has a gift and I know she will help a lot of people to leader happier lives.

Whoever thought starting high school at 7 a.m. (or thereabouts) was a good idea?! It's hard enough getting my daughter to middle school at 7:35. And it's not just a matter of parental inconvenience (though, don't get me wrong, I'm in no way, shape, or form looking forward to those crack-of-dawn wake-up calls). Study after study tells us that kids who start high school later are better off and that sleep deprivation causes real damage to teens -- physically, intellectually, and emotionally. And I'm not just talking about kids being cranky at the breakfast table or dozing off in class. This is serious stuff:
5 Reasons Why High School Should Start Later
1. According to a new study, not getting enough sleep can increase a teen's likelihood of developing diabetes by decreasing insulin resistance. (Also, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine says most adolescents need at least nine hours of sleep every night -- and up to 87 percent of teens in America are getting a lot less.)
2. A disturbing 2010 study found that teenagers who go to bed after midnight are 24 percent more likely to suffer from depression than those who go to bed before 10:00 p.m. Yikes!
3. Students are more alert later in the morning. Research shows that during the 7 a.m. hours, teen melatonin levels are still sending sleep signals. How are they supposed to actually LEARN anything?
4. Overtired teens eat more fatty foods. In one study, kids who got less than eight hours of shut-eye on a weeknight consumed more of of their daily calories from fat than teens who slept eight hours or more.
5. Teens who don't get enough sleep are more likely to "drive drowsy," which can lead to serious or even fatal automobile accidents.
Compelling evidence, right? Wonder what it's gonna take for the power-that-be to make a change ...
Do you think high school should start later?
Image via Jeffrey/Flickr
Teenagers actually need more sleep than adults - 8 hours is not even close to enough. Going to bed earlier is a start, but their body clocks make it difficult to sleep so early at night. Even if my daughter could fall asleep at 9pm, she still wouldn't have time to get the sleep she needs and catch the bus in the morning. Its crazy that my grade schooler doesn't start school until 9am, because she is always up early, but tired in the afternoon. Its too bad that schools don't take the natural sleep patterns of children and teens into account.
it's not just the schools and the athletic programs. It's often the parents that demand high school start earlier so their older children are home first to babysit the younger.
I agree. I'm in college now, but as a high school student I was very active. I got to school at 7am for extra help (starts at 8:30am) and left a 9pm due to my extra-curricular activities. A lot of people will say, just quit your extra-curricular activies, but those activies have shaped the person who I am today and have helped pay for my higher education. I wouldn't mind if school had shorter hours and more calendar days to make up for it.
I don't see how any of the reasons support moving high school start times to later in the day. What all her reasons support is having your teenager go to bed at a reasonable hour vice staying up til the early morning hours. In the real world these kids are going have to get use to the idea that the day starts in the early morning not the afternoon.
Here most elementary starts @ 8:30, middle starts at 9:45 (we loved that!!!) and high school starts at 7:30. High school is out at 1:45 - what about kids who don't have extra curricular activities or sports? They have nothing to do the rest of the day. It should definitely start later - even starting at 9:00, they could be out at 3:15 - plenty of time to do the extras. Yes, that would play havoc w/the bus schedule, but not everyone rides the bus.

|Level 16
Level 15 is the fifth level in Candy Factory and the third ingredients level. To pass this level, you must bring down 7 cherries and score at least 70,000 points in 16 moves or fewer. When you complete the level, Sugar Crush is activated.
- There are only 16 moves which makes it easy to fail. Although there are four candy colours, it makes it easier to have unexpected combinations which can interfere your plans.
- Find the fastest way to bring down the ingredients. It is also recommended to use vertical striped candies and other combinations.
- The easiest way to beat this level is to use the colour bomb + striped candy combination about 3 or 5 times. Alternative, the colour bomb + colour bomb combination can also be used since there are no blockers.
Getting Three Stars (For Daring Players)
- Difficulty: Very easy
- Four colours make it easy to create special candies.
- The ingredients are worth 70,000 points (7 ingredients x 10,000 points per ingredient = 70,000 points). Hence, dropping the ingredients alone leaves the player having to earn an additional 20,000 points.
- The player is required to earn an additional 1,250 points per move (20,000 points / 16 moves = 1,250 points per move).
- Most attempts of this level will take about 12 moves to drop all seven ingredients.
- 15 moves are limited to create a huge amount of points due to sugar crush. However, this point is less critical due to the low three star target score.
- This is the first four colour level.
- This level used to have the most moves with 90, but then it got redesigned, reducing the move count by 74.
- Bringing the ingredients down gives the player enough points to meet the target score.

Where's The Pump Filter On A Hotpoint Washing Machine?
Posted 01 June 2006 - 01:23 PM
There doesn't seem to be a filter anywhere that I can clear out. I'd like to try to unblock the washing machine myself, rather than having to call out an engineer. Is this a possibility for a beginner?
I'd be very grateful for your advice.
Note: The links above are needed to help keep this site running, please consider using them.
Posted 01 June 2006 - 01:26 PM
Unplug the washing machine! and take the back panel off. Take the sump hose off of the tub (have a few big bath towels ready to mop up water if you haven't got most of it out - even if you have, there will still be some water in this hose)
You should easily be able to remove and clear the filter. Make sure you refit the hose securely. If it comes off you will have a seriously horrendous flood

RE: Weight Watchers for Sat Oct 27th 2007
Man, I wrote this whole post and lost it. Grrr.
Long story short: I'm not sick but Ewan is still snotty (but not feverish). Staying home today. Cleaning house. Blah blah blah.
Short personals (I'd done longer ones that are gone now)
Belinda, hope you enjoyed your workout.
Lori, great job running even though you had some pain. And I wish I had your measurements!
Amelia, congrats on resisting pizza! You know, I own BBC but haven't tried it yet, and now I've got so many new workouts coming I want to try!
Carrie, I guess Ryan is your first child? I've got two boys--Isaac, age 5, and Ewan, age 2.
I didn't get much exercise when preggo with Isaac and gained 50 lbs. With Ewan I worked out regularly for at least the first 6 months (with a pregnancy workout video) and still gained 50 lbs. Both were also kind of big babies and I had extra fluid, so that didn't help.
OK, here's hoping I don't lose this one. I'm going to copy it just in case!

The boom years of the 80s is officially over for Japan. The generation which brought Japan to the height of global economic supremacy – a condition which lasted less than a decade – is now old, tired, and retired. They have left a legacy of debt, social and economic instability, and guaranteed a bleak future for their children and grandchildren. They traded the future of Japan for a brief glimpse from the top of the mountain. Now they are selling a symbol of their opulence….
In Japan, people who are old enough to have lived it as adults still reminisce about the bubble that blew up in 1989 when the Nikkei almost hit 40,000 (now at 9,045) and when the already sky-high prices of real estate could only go up further. The slide from the tippy top to reality today has been brutal, and a lot of people lost their shirts.
A home changed from being an "investment" to being an "expense." Stocks became toys for traders. And government bonds, because they kept their value though their coupons were practically imperceptible, became the place to go, and by golly, there suddenly were a lot of them, a veritable tsunami of JGBs that is still building momentum and will reach by the end of this fiscal year one quadrillion yen ($14 trillion), 240% of GDP. But there has been one investment, especially since 1999, that has worked out phenomenally well for the otherwise hapless Japanese investor: Gold.
Alas, they're dumping it.
….in order to buy a symbol of a dying generation.
Unicharm Corp. (8113)'s sales of adult diapers in Japan exceeded those for babies for the first time last year. At Daiei Inc. (8263) supermarkets, customers can feel Japan aging — literally: It has made shopping carts lighter.
Companies are rushing to grab a bigger chunk of the estimated 109 trillion yen ($1.4 trillion) that consumers over 60 spent in the year ended March 31 in Japan. The number of Japanese over 65 hit a record 23.3 percent of the population in October.
"We perceive this change as a golden opportunity for growth," Shohei Murai, executive vice president of supermarket operator Aeon Co. (8267), told reporters in March. "In the '80s and '90s, Aeon set families that were the massive majority in terms of population as its main target. Now the elderly are going to be the engine of consumption."
Aeon, Asia's largest retailer, is putting medical clinics in some of its locations.
Nothing lasts forever. The generation which rebuilt Japan believed that they had found the secret to unlimited success and eternal wealth. But they were wrong. Sadly, they refused to admit that they were wrong and decided that they could maintain their lifestyle by borrowing, subsidizing, and otherwise propping up and covering up their mistakes.
In the same manner, the future generations of Japanese are bound to believe that the debt burden their parents placed on them will be likewise eternal. Perhaps it will seem that way to them as taxes are raised, social benefits are cut and life is not the same as that enjoyed by the aging generation. Fortunately, however, the upcoming and future generations of Japanese can make a better future for themselves. But they can't do it by allowing the political and economic vestiges of the past to remain in control.
It is time for the young Japanese to step out of the shadows of their parents and assert control over their own lives and the future of their declining nation. The first step is to recognize the current situation and the problems facing them in the future. The second step is to forgive their parents. The third step is to retire the current crop of politicians and bureaucrats who seem not to be very capable at their jobs – to put it kindly.
The alternative is to do nothing and hope for a miracle or settle for whatever the future holds.

The editing team on Survivor is prepared to snuff the torch on the show's upcoming 29th season if contractual demands aren't met.
The Motion Picture Editors Guild announced Wednesday via Twitter that the show's editors were going on strike after their request for negotiations on a union contract from CBS fell on deaf ears. The walkout lasted less than 12 hours, however, as producer Mark Burnett's company Island Post Productions agreed to talks with the group of about 24 post-production staff members, according to Deadline.
CBS announced a "multi-phase rollout" of its fall programming Tuesday, with premiere dates for Survivor, NCIS, The Big Bang Theory and more stretching from September through the end of October.
CBS is shaking up its schedule this fall. The Big Bang Theory is moving to Mondays at 8/7c while the network airs NFL Thursday Night Football. But starting on Oct. 30, The Big Bang will return to Thursdays at 8/7c. That same week will also see the series debut of new comedyThe McCarthys and the premiere of Two and a Half Men's final season, which will air Thursdays at 9/8c.
Other shows moving to new nights are NCIS: Los Angeles, which will head to Mondays at 10/9c, following new drama Scorpion; The Amazing Race, which will shift to Fridays at 8/7c to make way for Tea Leoni's Madam Secretary on Sundays at 8/7c; and CSI, which will relocate to Sundays at 10/9c and split the timeslot with new spin-off CSI: Cyber.

An excellent international resource for the laboratory equipment industry.
Laser Creates Interior Map of Leaning Tower of PisaAustralian researchers have created the first ever interior 3D map of Italy's iconic Leaning Tower of Pisa by using a breakthrough mobile laser mapping system. Developed by the CSIRO, Australia's national science agency, the Zebedee technology is a handheld 3D mapping system incorporating a laser scanner that sways on a spring to capture millions of detailed measurements of a site as fast as an operator can walk through it. Specialized software then converts the system's laser data into a detailed 3D map.While the tower's cramped stairs and complex architecture have prevented previous mapping technologies from capturing its interior, Zebedee has enabled the researchers to finally create the first comprehensive 3D map of the entire building.Read more: http://www.laboratoryequipment.com/news/2013/09/laser-creates-interior-map-leaning-tower-pisa

Mother's Day cake
Mother's Day falls on different dates in Lebanon and the US.

***Note*** If you don't like Shadow, or the idea of Sonic losing/being beaten up. Then don't watch this series.
***Sorry about the large file size, :|***
***ATTENTION MAC USERS*** If you have a Mac you may experiance a slowdown, mainly if you have a LOW RAM, so I'd reccomend Low Quality in this case.
***Also remember use the space-bar for the "Dialouge and Character Description parts in the movie. I can't stress that enough. So please remember that.***
You know kiddies a lot has changed while your old uncle Shade's been away. A "New" Newgrounds, new effects to my flashes, even many new twists. But now I'm tan, I'm rested, and I'm ready to give this portal an explosion again. So here it is after nearly a year. I'd like to thank all my fans for their patients with me. As you know this has been quite a stressful year for me. I had to cut this eps. into two parts even with the MC frame limit bypass trick. Also, to get it on here I had to lower the quality of some of the images, but it WON'T take away from the movies intensity. I don't know if Tom even recieved my email or what, but I couldn't and didn't wanna keep you all waiting any longer. I just hope you all like what you see, I'm a little nervous as to how it will be recieved. I also dedicated this film to my Cat, may he rest in piece, many of you will think the same as me about this, and many will think I'm stupid for it I'm sure as well. However, those of you who think I'm stupid for it... I don't care. So well... I guess there is not really much left to say, except this eps. will answer many questions and FINALLY reveal shadow's TRUE motive. So just watch, and I hope you enjoy.
God Bless

David Joseph "Joey" Pedersen, who killed his father and stepmother before allegedly going on a West Coast killing spree with his girlfriend, was sentenced to life in prison Friday and told the court, "I killed these individuals with my own free will and … I don't bear any remorse for it."
Pedersen, 31, had changed his plea to guilty on Monday to killing his father, David "Red" Pedersen, 56, of Everett, and his stepmother, Leslie "Dee Dee" Pedersen, 69, last Sept. 29.
Afterward, he and his girlfriend Holly Ann Grigsby, 24, allegedly killed a 19-year-old man in Oregon and a disabled man in California. They were captured near Yuba City, Calif., last Oct. 5 and sent to Washington state to stand trial first for the first two murders.
Addressing the Snohomish County Superior Court at his sentencing Friday, David Pedersen said, "I killed these individuals with my own hands, my own free will and I just want to make it clear that I bear no remorse for it."
He said his father's murder was justified. "I killed my father because he was a child molester," he said.
He also challenged the Snohomish County prosecutor Mark Roe, calling him a coward for not seeking the death penalty. "I think you're a gutless hypocrite who did not have the gumption to pursue death."
Roe announced Monday he would will not seek the death penalty against Pedersen because, he said, there was credible evidence that Petersen's father had sexually abused him and others.
The family of the victims also addressed Pedersen in court. "If we lived in another time, it would be an eye for an eye. You would be tortured to death in a public setting just like you tortured my mother," said Susan Beth Ellis, a daughter of Dee Dee Pedersen.
Grigsby is also charged with murder in the case; she's pleaded not guilty.

Today's Blomberg report on the recently released details of the FED's huge loans to BAC when BAC was claiming it was in great shape might have something to do with the sock's slide. No wonder BAC is backing the idiot Perry. They need a fantasist D-student in the White House if they are ever to crawl out of the deep hole they've dug for themselves.
… because Bernanke/Yellen have stopped stimulating Bank of America. Bernanke is focusing on getting Obama-mama re-elected, so he has to stop printing money for BAC.
We need to get rid of Obama and Bernanke soon, otherwise the US will be Greece. And Germany won't bail us out.
So, "Financials generally are lagging the market" but "the broader market will not hold up for long if Bank of America is getting hammered." Which is it? Financials are laggiing the market or they are leading the market. Heard about logic?
Can you check in with the Susquehanna analysts?
Susquehanna's parent company, Susquehanna International Group is probably the largest privately held options trading firm in the world.
If they have an options trade…
Bank of America is THE biggest Fraud Operation in the U.S.
Probably not enough capital to keep things going, employees now worried about jobs not thinking about what needs to be done, management has no clue, customers hate the organization and are leaving at record levels, no bottom in sight for RE market, BofA paying huge losses just to get out of RE holdings, Bank is being sued by everyone, Large stock holders finally unloading positions taking the loss to get out of this company. The better question is why is it still trading at $6.50 and not $2.00?
Brian Moynihan how do you rate your performance when Bank of America is the worst performer in the Market today? How do you justify salary increases, bonuses and incentives for your employees when the stock is not performing? If you can't show definite signs of turning it around by the end of the year I would question why the Board of Directors are not taking action. Is the Good Old Boys Club back?
Gotta love that Government intervention…BAC was positioned to be the last-man standing, excepting GS, until it was strongarmed into the Countrywide and ML acquisitions. Took a solid financial and turned it into garbage.
I spent about 10 years doing budgets and forecasts at BofA. What every manager knows (but doesn't talk about) is why they do the announcements on jobs like they do. They say 2,500 already with 3,500 this QTR and as much as 10,000 next. The reason is they don't want to let people go. That means costly severance, unemployment, etc. They do the announcement to force people out by attrition. Its cheaper for the bank. The problem, as Lewis found out doing this for years. The talent leaves because they can. You are left with a zombie workforce that is charged to "keep the lights on" because they can't do anything more. The quality and customer satisfaction tank. You become like BofA or Comcast. Companies hated by everyone (customers, employees, analysts, Wall Street). Job cuts are a quick hit on the Cash Flow Statement for management with no talent.
Fed and Gov bailed out banks and reduced mortgage, and now allowing everyone to sue eachother. most of the fraud was commited by multiple party; consumer, bank, securitization, rating company. It is now becoming a problem which is dragging the economy. I don't think economy will improve unless housing and banks recover.
I pulled my mooney out of BOA after they announced home loan program in Arizona for illegal aliens, specifically pointing out as legal residence documentation is not required… Why should I trust bank, which does not care about laws?
With the Jeffries report out later in the day, was BAC's underperformance earlier in the day all that mysterious?
Let's face it, banks don't create value any more and dollars follow value. They opted for a junk-fee business model, so they are doomed.
The one thing we've learned from Lehman and Bear is that when these financials are broken, there is no bottom. Unfortunately, your partners in crime over at Barron's have not learned this and have flogged the stock all the way down. Anyone want to buy the $3.00 puts?

While you're quoting the dictionary, you might try looking up Dullard too. Let me break this down for you. Just because something isn't against the rules doesn't mean it's an ethical thing to do- i.e. it's still unethical (check your second definition). In this case, transferring gave this guild an unethical advantage over every guild that was not taking advantage of a loophole in the game's code (second definition again), and they were most certainly using this to their own ends (lulz second definition).
One could argue that they did all of their transfers knowing that it would give them an unfair advantage (check your first definition), but since they did not violate any rules currently in the EULA/TOS to my knowledge, they technically did not cheat. By your own definition, however, they absolutely exploited the game's mechanics, and based on the actions Blizzard has taken, they agree. Now seriously, go look up dullard.

It's almost Slip n' Slide season!!!!!
Something I always wanted to try but never did. lol
My Summers. All of them. LOVED these!
I know this is not a toy, but I can't help but smile every time I hear this song! Sorry, Beach Boys, but I much prefer the Muppets to sing this song to me. :)
Slip n' Slide!
This one is much much fancier than the ones we had, but holy cow my summer memories are riddled with days and days of slipping and sliding on that yellow plastic sheet. My brother and I would spend weeks at a time with neighborhood kids getting chased by the dog and wasting tons of water… Boy, do I miss those days.

Winston shows up on the roof. He has the bad news for Chance that Emma went back into the building to make sure it was clear. She doesn't appear to have made it. And Baptiste is gone! Layla has learned that Baptiste called Amtrak. Chance and Winston scatter according to the directions that Guerrero has for them. To the subway station!
Speaking of the subway station, I believe we're caught up to current time. Baptiste tells Chance that he won't run or even make a move to give Chance an excuse to kill him without it being in cold blood. Chance looks at him, steely-eyed. Baptiste has a question. "If it's true that no one deserves to die, does that always get decided by the guy who holds the gun?"
They stand. Emma (not dead!) shows up behind him and tells him the place is surrounded. Chance points his gun at Baptiste. Emma tells him this isn't him. Not anymore. Tension! Chance puts the gun down. Baptiste tells him he's lost his edge. Cops swarm in to arrest Baptiste, and Emma tells them to employ "shackles and shotguns".
Emma walks away. When she turns to ask about that date, Chance has vanished. Like Batman!
Layla cleans up Emma's place after the mess. Guerrero tells her she doesn't have to do that. She seems to have enjoyed saving all those people's lives. Guerrero tells her it's just adrenaline, and that she'll crash soon. And that nothing's ever over. Thanks, Captain Bringdown.
Baptiste gets walked out by several SWAT members. He compliments one guy's watch with a smirk. End of show!
Watch the episode here, discuss it in our forums, then see which cast member we want to Spend 24 Hours With!

No more Howard. Rose on the sidelines. Bynum on the sidelines. Pierce and Garnett another year removed from their prime. Who is left in the East to compete with the Heat?
Here are the current standings in the Eastern Conference as of Monday night:
1. Miami
2. Brooklyn
3. New York
4. Milwaukee
5. Atlanta
6. Charlotte
7. Philadelphia
8. Boston
Chicago, Indiana, Orlando, Cleveland, Detroit, Toronto, and Washington round it out in that order.
Which teams are in the top-8 to stay? Which teams are moving up? Which teams are moving down?
1. Miami – No movement
The conference is Miami's to lose. With a healthy Rose, things may have been different and I could see a team like New York or Brooklyn giving them a fight for the top seed, but at the end of the day, your money has to be on Miami to snag the 1-seed in the East this year.
2. Brooklyn – No movement
Their overtime victory against cross-state rival New York was just one of many enticing duels to come. I think the Nets edge out the Knicks for the 2-seed based on having more of a balanced core of players and the veteran leadership from their backcourt, but either way, Brooklyn will most likely be on the top-half of the playoff bracket in the East.
3. New York – No movement
Anthony is playing some of the best basketball of his career and that alone could lead the Knicks to a top-2 seed, but I'm penciling them in at 3 for now because I'm just not too sure about his support apart from the steady defense of Chandler.
4. Milwaukee – Down
7-5 isn't usually something to be too excited about, but when you're a team that's only finished over .500 once since 2003, it's actually quite a big deal. Skiles is currently letting his backcourt run wild and the results have been mostly good so far, but there's just not enough frontcourt support or overall depth to keep Milwaukee in the 4-spot. I see them as a 7 or 8 seed at best.

With the holidays just around the corner it's not uncommon for people to feel a little bit down. This is known as seasonal affective disorder or S.A.D.
This condition is especially hard for people living in the North East where the days become shorter, the weather gets colder and the extra stress of the holidays all happens at once.
Doctor Tanmoy Mukherjee says that symptoms of S.A.D. are linked to unhealthy sleeping patterns and not being exposed to as much daylight in winter.
"We're mammals and there's mammals that hibernate, we're very sensitive to the amount of daylight that's available. Certainly changes in behavior can correlate to the amount of daylight that you receive," he said.
S.A.D affects about 5-10% of Americans and Mukherjee suggests getting a "light box" which can help increase the amount of light that you are exposed to and at the same time increase your mood. These items are costly at about $400 a pop, but Mukherjee says that a less expensive option is simply turning on all the lights in your house.
Other tips for keeping your cool this holiday season is trying to get outside as much as possible and getting vitamin D. Also, exercise and being with loved ones tends to help as well.

Two Ways to Fix How Colleges Respond to Sexual Assault
The statistics in the White House's recently released report on rape and sexual assault are unsettling, but not unfamiliar: If a woman goes to college, she has a one in five chance of being sexually assaulted while she's there. Only 12 percent of those women ever report their assaults to law enforcement.
Just a few hours after the report came out last week, President Obama issued a memorandum, creating a task force to deal specifically with issues surrounding sexual assault on college campuses. In 90 days, this task force will make recommendations for how institutions can best prevent and respond to sexual assault, and punish offenders. They are charged with creating an environment where victims feel supported—where punishment is fair but also proportionate to the severity of the crime.
This isn't going to be easy. Responding to sexual assault—particularly on a college campus—is murky business.

In the modern day world, it is hard to deny the presence of Graphic design in our daily lives. Graphic design is everywhere, in every package and product of the modern world. It fills every walking moment of our day. Although the graphic design discipline was introduced less than a century ago, the world has since come to rely upon it. The introduction of new technologies and softwares in the field of Graphic Design has made life easier for Graphic Designers; however, it wasn't the case some decades ago. The lack of computer technologies inspired to creativity and resulted in some of the most remarkable designs and innovations. Therefore, it is important to acknowledge the people who played an important role in setting the principles of modern day Graphic Design. To those who came before, I salute you.
Spudgun is about being creative and playful, professional and courteous. I care about my work! I want to be the dependable designer who delivers a complete package – one that is to the best of my ability and meets all of my client's needs. Meet deadlines and not have the "just get it done" philosophy. Work beyond my own expectations and challenge myself so that it benefits you my customer.
When striving for creativity, the last thing you should do is slavishly follow advice on how to achieve it. On the other hand, being creative isn't about hanging around in a black polo neck waiting for the muse to strike, either. A lot of it is spending hours and hours trying out ideas that don't work before eventually landing on one that does.

In a bizarre stand-off, a 107-year-old man was shot to death by an Arkansas SWAT team on Saturday night. The trouble began when cops were called to the scene of a domestic disturbance. What they found shocked even the veterans of the police force.
The elderly man, Monroe Isadore, had allegedly threatened two people with a gun. Once police were on the scene, they had the victims evacuate the home for their own safety. The centenarian, however, retreated to a back bedroom to hide, refusing to come out. Police say as they approached the room trying to get Isadore to come out and turn himself in, but he began shooting through the door.
They were able to get a small camera into the room, which showed the man was armed with a small handgun. SWAT then filled the room with tear gas, hoping for a peaceful surrender. No such luck. As they entered the room, he began shooting again and they shot back killing him. It's unclear what caused this poor, elderly man to become unhinged but it is horrible that things ended so tragically.
Are you surprised by the age of the shooter?

Not at all. My dad is 95 and fiesty as all get out!!! Luckily, he doesn't own any guns.
Not at all. Old people scare me more than any other person alive!!
Could have been one of those "get off my lawn" types. I've run into a lot of elderly who are just plain nasty .
As a Hospice Case Manager my immediate thought was that he was over living (107 wow!) and did not want to take his own life. But I guess we'll never know.
I'm guessing dementia was the root of this.

Myla Sinanaj Accuses Kim Kardashian of Cheating with Kanye Westby Hilton Hater at . Comments
So try to follow along with this one, THGers:
Myla Sinanaj dated Kris Humphries after he split from Kim Kardashian.
She allegedly received a check from Kim after testifying in the reality star's divorce case, went to cash it on Friday… and proceeded to go on a Twitter rant that accused Kardashian of cheating on Reggie Bush with Kanye West.
"U know what finding this check just pi**ed me off!" Sinanaj wrote. "truth is my a** didn't want to go to her dumb deposition so i said i have no $ for gas, but that didn't stop her from mailing me a check that's how bad she wanted me to go! which i don't understand WHY."
Perhaps for grammar lessons? Sinanaj continued:
"She should THANK ME for my discretion for not mentioning the fact when i was the Overnight Manager at the W hotel. I was the one making Kanye keys to her suite at 2am!!! Back when she was supposed to be with the love of her life Reggie Bush right??
"THERE is SOOOO much more that i know and had to be quiet about but i ain't working at the hotel no more so F*** it!!! My advice to Kanye is 'if they cheat with you they cheat on you' remember that sh**.."
It's a lesson West can perhaps soon pass along to his daughter, considering he and Kim are having a girl.
I accidentally ran into Kim Kardashian Sex Tape.
You can find it here: Kim Kardashian Sex Tape uncut
Myla Sinanaj Accuses Kim Kardashian of Cheating with Kanye West
Hh yeah baby! It made my day!
Good luck!
Gossips which shoes drags to a shut, this is the follow-up nike basketball shoes http://www.runontheway.com/
Whos Myla Sinanaj??
Myla's 15 seconds of Fame is up. Everyone already has an idea that Kanye was already in Kims life so what. If Myla wanted it to be "Breaking News" she should have released it to tue tabloids before Kim and Kris last court date and she didn't so now Myla needs to crawl back under the rock she came from and take Ray J and Farrah with her under the rock cuz they all wanted fame at Kims expense and no one wants to hear what these people are saying
I just realized that Fatmire Sinanaj and Farah Abraham both have to use Kim's name to get recognition. Fatmire Sinanaj's twitter just went up by like 1,000 w/in a day. They both belong to the same agency that has Z listers and I'm sure she was encouraged to this to boost her existence.I think Hump had promised to continue their relations after the divorce so he could keep her quiet about his shit and he told her over the weekend it wasn't happening. She could even try the "I'm pregnant scenario" because he hasn't been with her for quite some time. I would have found her more credible if she had spilled all that crap that she had on the Hump. Her lawyer had said they had a lot of damning evidence on him. I hope she eventually goes away and is sued by the W Hotel and Kim K.
To me, that Myla Sinanaj chick sounds like a messy-ass snitch looking for constant attention/drama 24/7. Stupid bitch.
Paid to testify? Excuse me?
Trashing peoples, trashy acts. All around. Go figure.
Who is she riding on kim k she js trying to b kkknow she need to live her on life bc she prob have some skel in her closet that she dnt wont noboy to know
Let's get her name straight :Fatmire Sinanaj.Her her accusations are bogus. Kim caught Reggie cheating with January Gassert. She broke up with him in March 2010. She made her song in 2011 and the pic that Kim put up on her own site that Myla is using is from the set of the video for Kim's song(in 2011). So this girl is bullsh*tting and just wants attention. Why didn't she give this "info" to Hump's lawyer(because it was bogus)? The check that she's trying to insinuate is for "bribe" is a very standard payment for anyone who has to give a deposition. I hope the W Hotel holds her liable for lack of indiscretion for high profile guests. I think she really hurt this hotel and she said she doesn't care.

10 Holiday Gifts Parents HATE When You Give Their Kids
Yeah, we know what you're thinking -- it's the season of giving, not receiving; we should all be grateful for the presents we get; it's the thought that counts…yada yada yada. And while yes, all this is certainly true, come on -- everyone can relate to those certain presents that after received for THE MILLIONTH TIME can't help but get under your skin a little. (Right?) And when it comes to baby gifts, every parent has at least a few on their mental list of things they pray no one will give their kid this year. Wondering if your gift is on the list? Read on.
Video: 3 reasons pets make bad gifts >
1. Un-funny onesies
"I can't stand getting clothes that say 'Mommy's/Daddy's Li'l ______ [throw in some word...all-star, hero, pumpkin…here]" -- KMS416
So here's the deal: By the time you're ready to gift someone a cute onesie or two around holiday time, chances are they've already stockpiled about a gazillion of them, thanks to all the other people in their lives who so enjoy giving onesies that say something like "Mommy's little stinker" on it. And we get it, they're pretty hard to resist. But for Mom, she's probably still trying to make her way through all the other onesies she's received before baby actually outgrows them. Our advice? If you've truly got your heart set on gifting a humorous onesie, better go for the gusto with one that gives the major LOLs. Try browsing BabyWit.com or AJewishBeginning.com.

2. Tacky baby shoes
"I hate getting character shoes, shoes with rhinestones on them, shoes with flashing lights...T-A-C-K-Y." -- Britty685
Ah, yes. Baby shoes. They can sure walk a fine line between being totally cute or totally tasteless. A five-month-old rockin' a pair of Nikes? Adorable. A five-month-old rockin' a pair of bedazzled, flashing light-up sneaks with "Divalicious" scrawled across the sides? Eh, not so much. For some non-tacky footwear options, check out pediped.com and SeeKaiRun.com.
Bing Shopping: Baby shoes >
3. Knickknacks & novelty items
"I'm not a fan of those little figurines you get at the card store -- Willow Tree figure people and such." -- kara435
Unless you're Grandma (and therefore all sentimental gift choices can be semi-excused), knickknack gifts tell a parent one thing and one thing only: You had no idea what to get their kid at all, so you swung into the closest card store and bought something in your price range that seemed sentimental and holiday-ish. (Are we right?) What will happen to this Willow Tree person or Precious Moments-esque gift of yours? We'll save you the wondering: It will probably wind up collecting dust in a shadow box somewhere for the next several years, until someone has finally had enough and tosses it. For a gift with a personal touch that any parent could actually get some mileage out of, check out one of our favorite new Etsy finds -- personalized growth charts by aewilder ($47).

4. Toys that play annoying music
"Kids make enough noise as it is, they don't need added help!" -- lauren_mpenny
To be fair, baby toys that play music are awesome in that they are what enable Mom or Dad to keep their tot entertained for a few minutes so they can switch that load of laundry/start dinner/grab a few moments of sanity when needed. However, toys that play annoying music can lead said parents to have chronic daydreams about what exactly they would like to do to that toy to never have its irritating melodies haunt their dreams again… Some nice (silent) alternative options: a fun plush toy like the Bowling Buddies Set (giggle.com, $45), or if you're buying for a tot, check out Tegu magnetic wooden toy blocks -- they're eco-friendly and the company helps support employment and natural resources in Honduras (Tegu.com, starting at $55).
Bing Shopping: Classic toys >
5. Giant stuffed animals (or really, any kind of stuffed animal)
"I swear I've told my mom we don't need/have space for any more jungle stuffed animals and Every. Single. Time. she comes over she has a new one to add. Thank God for Goodwill." -- MrsFv20
It's easy to see why stuffed animals are always a good standby around holiday time: They're cute, seemingly "safe" and, hey, who doesn't like an adorable stuffed animal? We'll tell you who: The mom or dad who's received 50 other ones just like it since their kid's been born -- and can no longer find a square inch of room in the nursery to shove another floppy-eared plush toy with a sad-but-irresistible grin on its face. Our advice: Resist the urge. Or at least go with one that's got a little function to it. What about a developmental toy, like the Skip Hop Treetop Friends Hug and Hide Owl Activity Toy (Amazon.com, $18). Is the kid teething? Check out Sophie, the giraffe teether by Vulli (ToysRUs.com, $22).
Bing Shopping: Classic toys >
6. Clothes baby has already outgrown
"People often give clothing in a size he has already outgrown. He's a big baby, it's not a secret!" -- DC2London
As a general rule, it's always a solid idea to do a little bit of research into any kid's age -- and general body size -- before gifting them some clothes. Sure, maybe he's six months old, but that doesn't mean he wears a size 6 months. And on behalf of the moms of the world with (adorably) chubby babies, there's nothing worse than getting an awesomely cute ensemble that would have fit Junior a few months ago. Do some pre-holiday snooping around, ask Mom what size her baby runs (and buy a month bigger than that), and most important of all: don't forget the gift receipt.
Bing Shopping: Kids' clothing >
7. Clashing nursery decor
"I don't like getting decorative items for the nursery like picture frames. We have contemporary taste, and 99% of the time the gift does not go with our color/decorating scheme at all, yet there is an obligation to display the gift when the giver visits."-- dangerkitty102
While it can be totally tempting to spring for that nursery picture frame you love, unless you know the parents' taste like the back of your hand, steer clear of any decorative pieces that may not exactly mesh with the style of the parents you're gifting. Otherwise? That picture frame will probably only see the light of day once a year -- right before you make your visit. (And, ouch, nobody wants to be that person.) So take it from us and head in a different direction when you're leaning toward buying a decor piece. Unless of course you're absolutely certain it will be well received. (Just don't say we didn't warn you.)
Bing Shopping: Nursery décor >
8. Crocheted blankets
"I can't tell you how many of those crocheted blankets we got. Probably more than a dozen, and I don't use any of them." -- STAR15
Hmm…this one's tricky, because we can definitely see both sides. For the lifelong crocheter, spending your time making a baby blanket or little set of booties for someone's tot can feel like the most thoughtful thing you could do for them. And we're definitely with you on that one. But for some moms, opening yet another crocheted baby blanket could also mean you've just added one more blankie to that ever-growing pile in their linen closet. Our advice: If you know the couple closely and are pretty sure a handmade blanket will go over well, then by all means, get your chain stitch on. But if not, better just hit up Babies"R"Us and save yourself some time.
Bing Shopping: Baby blankets >
9. Seasonally inappropriate clothes
"I hate getting clothes that are not in season, only to have my son outgrow them by the time he actually is ready to wear them!" -- sun67
Yep, there's nothing worse than getting an outfit for your LO in the winter that can only be worn in the springtime – when, of course, he'll be too big for it. And yet it happens all too frequently. Either it's the result of some age/size miscalculation on the part of the gifter, or a possible (and ill-advised) regifting situation. In both instances, awkwardness can be averted with the presence of a gift receipt. But if you're the gifter and would rather steer clear of any of the above entirely, maybe your best bet would be looking to a nice activity toy instead…
