Lamps Plus Takes Deposit, Leaves Customer In The Dark

Don't Count On That Rebate From MSI
My advice on mail-in-rebates is to ignore them when you're trying to decide on a purchase. They take too long to receive, during which time you've paid a higher amount on the product. Even worse, it's easy for a company to deny a claim and refuse to cooperate with you, and it's hard for consumers to get misbehaving companies to play fairly. [More]
JetBlue Takes 2 Hours And Charges $15 To Redeem Customer's Gift Card
Angela won a "Wish List" contest from American Express, which let her buy a $100 JetBlue gift card for $70. JetBlue managed to wipe out that $30 savings and any good will Angela might have felt by making her waste 129 minutes trying to redeem the card–and then charging her $15 for the service. At the end of her letter to AmEx and JetBlue, Angela writes, "I don't know about other AmEx cardholders, but spending almost two hours on hold in order to be able to use something you've already paid for is not on my Wish List."

American Airlines, Jet Blue, Delta Seek To Delay Tarmac Imprisonment Rule
You know that new rule that says airlines have to let passengers off the plane if it's stuck on the tarmac for more than 3 hours?

Access America's "Comprehensive Trip Protector" Insurance Isn't Comprehensive, So Enjoy Your Overnight Layover
Mark Smith just got suckered into buying travel insurance that turned out to be worthless to him.

Luckily the policy only cost $40, but that's $40 that now belongs to Access America in exchange for providing a useless service. [More]

American Airlines Threatens To Move You Down On The Stand-By List If You Complain
Reader Kelsea's flight was delayed getting to O'Hare and when she got there for her connection to LA she encountered rudeness and general crappy service from American Airlines. One of the employees even went so far as to suggest she not request to be moved up the stand-by list because they would probably move her down "out of frustration." Hey, that may be true but you probably shouldn't tell the customers you're going to try to spite them. Don't worry though, the story has a happy ending. [More]
Mysterious JetBlue Creature Offers Free Tix To Passengers
If you wish hard enough on your next JetBlue trip, maybe the airline's People Officer will magically appear and hand out free tickets. That's what happened on David's flight home over the weekend. To be fair, the free ticket giveaway probably happened because JetBlue asked everyone to show up two hours early due to a computer glitch. It's still a much nicer airline story than what passengers usually send us. Also, this People Officer hinted to the OP about the airline's future Wi-Fi plans. [More]
Netflix CEO Explains Why They Made The 28-Day Delay Deal
Earlier this month, Netflix made a deal with Warner Bros. to delay new DVD releases for 28 days.

Customer Waits Six Weeks For Best Buy To Not Fix His TV
A Best Buy customer has posted his ongoing TV repair saga over at Best Buy's own forums, and it's quite a read. Green blotches! Smoke! Parts were ordered! No parts were ordered! The wrong parts were ordered! Botched repairs! This all started back in November and his $3,000 TV still isn't fixed–although the last time a Geek Squad tech came out, he handed the customer a sheet that said Best Buy had already spent $1,500 on repairs.

Detroit Airport Wants Passengers To Stop Showing Up So #%&*@$ Early

For all her life, Princess Elise has had everything she wanted handed to her on a silver platter - a fancy castle, the finest of dresses, and lots and lots of money. She eventually bumps into a handsome adventurer (whom she describes as "Level 99 in handsome") at a royal ball, expecting him to praise her and wait on her hand and foot. It didn't quite work out that way, as the adventurer blows her off for being too spoiled for her own good.Still determined to win him over, Elise sets out on a journey in search of fame, fortune, more fame, and the chance to get him to fall in love with her by growing out of her "me-me-me" ways....just kidding. That would be too easy. Since this is My World, My Way (her words), fighting, questing, and especially pouting are the only reasonable paths to victory (seriously, there are menus dedicated to this).

Embargo / Expiry still displays blog posts in BlogHolder page
23 November 2009 at 10:03pm
So I know that this module is being phased out but I'm asking anyway. Embargo / Expiry works very well but it won't hide blog posts that are set to embargo. Is there anyway to stop blog previews from showing up in the BlogHolder page?
function canView($member) {} ??? works fro blogPage but not for BlogHolder??
Re: Embargo / Expiry still displays blog posts in BlogHolder page
11 December 2009 at 5:22pm
Just got a reply from Simon Welsh, the author of the Embargo/Expiry Module. Thanks Simon that's a HUGE help.
It's to do with the BlogHolder not checking canView() on each of its children that it displays. I'm basing this off of the 0.2.1 release of the blog module.
In blog/code/BlogHolder.php, find (in the Entries method in the BlogHolder class):
return DataObject::get("Page","`ParentID` = $this->ID $tagCheck $dateCheck","`BlogEntry`.Date DESC",'',"$limit");
replace with:
$items = DataObject::get("Page","`ParentID` = $this->ID $tagCheck $dateCheck","`BlogEntry`.Date DESC");
$newSet = new DataObjectSet();
foreach($items as $item) {
if($item->canView()) $newSet->push($item);
if($limit) {
list($start, $length) = split(' *, *', $limit);
if(!$length) {
return $newSet->getRange(0, $start);
return $newSet->getRange($start, $length);
return $newSet;

I had the same problem too but mine wasn't associated with the BlogHolder. I was using custom page types and using a dataobject::get to get my custom pages in a paginated view.
Actually, there is an easy fix to this. Instead of modifying the core code, you can just edit your BlogHolder templates files and it should work painlessly as expect.
Like this.
<% control BlogPosts %>
<% if canView %>
<!-- The Post here -->
<% end_if %>
<% end_control %>
The embargo and expiring modules comes with the canView function. As you can see, you can use it in your template to filter posted based which posted get seen (you would see everything regardless of embargo or expiry restrictions if you are an admin) based on the embargo and expiry restriction.
I hope this helps.

The canView/Template method works great unless you're trying to limit the amount of records pulled in, in which case the records are filtered after the fact. If you want a replacement method to call you can add a BlogTreeDecorator and put these two methods inside...
function ViewableEntries($limit = '', $tag = '', $date = '') {
return $this->owner->Entries($limit, $tag, $date, array($this, 'canViewEntries'));
function canViewEntries($className, $filter, $limit, $order) {
if (class_exists('EmbargoExpiryDecorator')) {
$date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
$embargo = " AND (Embargo IS NULL OR Embargo <= '$date')";
$expiry = " AND (Expiry IS NULL OR Expiry >= '$date')";
$filter .= $embargo . $expiry;
return DataObject::get('BlogEntry', $filter, $order, '', $limit);
Then you can call ViewableEntries(4) in your template and get back exactly 4 viewable results.

Lady Gaga chats with Howard Stern about threesomes
Lady Gaga likes to keep an open mind, even when it comes to her relationship with Taylor Kinney. When asked by Howard Stern if she'd be open to letting another woman join them in bed, she says, "That sounds like fun!"
But Stern couldn't get her to go on the record as to whether she and Kinney have already given that a try.
"You know what? I've spoken a lot about my Taylor and I don't want to kiss and tell too much. I'm a little bit more of a lady than that," she says. "Here's the thing: I'm not the type of person that's having sex all the time with lots of random people. I don't do that. I'm in a monogamous relationship, we're having a good time, we've been together for a while. If it were to come up, it comes up."
And as happy as Gaga and Kinney are, they're in no hurry to tie the knot.
"The thought of a wedding to me is exhausting. Why would I put myself through that?" she said. "Here's my dream wedding: We get completely hammered, we get the worst dresses we can find and then we got to the courthouse."

Chicken Enchiladas
Morgan01 Posted: 10/15/11
skoc50 Posted: 10/15/11
Very good & easy! The only change I made was I only used 2 cans of green chiles...one in the chicken mixture and one in the sauce. I served with Mexican rice & refried beans and had a complete meal.
tara31 Posted: 11/12/11
I used Quorn meatletss chicken for a vegetarian meal and added fat free cream cheese to the filling. Did not add cheese to the filling, as I prefer it on top. The green chili sauce is amazing! Served with Pronto Refried Beans, which was a perfect side dish!
wgoins1943 Posted: 10/23/11
This is delicious. We've already served it twice and love the recipe.
amymac96 Posted: 11/03/11
Best chicken enchiladas I've had, home-made OR restaurant. Ooey-gooey, delicious and best of all simple. Suggest cooking, shredding, freezing chicken ahead in bulk and freezing the stock for this and other uses to save time on weeknight meals. We used a combination of red and green bell peppers and a bit of chopped fresh jalapeno as well. Great with a Spanish or Mexican rice. Yum, yum, YUM!
skidwell Posted: 02/02/12
The Best Enchiladas, love this recipe, made them this week and will continue to follow this recipe...great with avacado chopped on top!
AlabamaChic1 Posted: 05/07/12
This recipe is so delicious and easy. The creamy sauce just makes the dish. My family loved it!
Steph1234 Posted: 04/20/13
My search for the best enchilada recipe is over! I omitted the green pepper and used a combination of monterey jack and cheddar cheese. Also added a scoop of whipped cream cheese in the chicken mixture to make them a bit creamier. Garnished with cilantro and served chipotle sour cream on the side.
MissGayle54 Posted: 07/14/12
Made this for supper tonight and we loved it. The recipe is easy to follow. The recipe is very mild, but if you or your family prefer spicey, you can always serve salsa or chop up jalapeno's.
JoyFishley Posted: 05/05/12
Tasty and easy to put together. Next time I will add a green pepper as well as a full can of green chiles to the mix. and a full can to the sauce.. I doubled the chicken in the mix. I will also double the sauce next time.. This dish was a great hit with my whole family last night! I can't wait to make it again! Joy Fishley
HollyMosby Posted: 05/22/14
Delicious green chicken chili encased in a tortilla topped with a cheesy sauce. These reheat well. I tried some using corn tortillas which disintegrated into the sauce so I don't recommend using them. I added salt and pepper, chili powder and cumin to both the chicken mixture and sauce mixture! Delish. Will make again!

In Singled Out, I devoted a chapter to debunking the myth that the children of single parents are doomed. I described various studies and showed how the results are exaggerated or misrepresented. I also reviewed studies inconsistent with the doom-and-gloom narrative; they, unfortunately, get little media attention.
New studies have been published since then, so I have continued to address the topic. There is also lots of panic around single parenting and some overwrought media stories and political proclamations. I've critiqued those, too.
Below are some articles I have written about single parents and their kids. There are also relevant sections in Singlism: What It Is, Why It Matters, and How to Stop It. (Paperback is here; ebook is here.) The Bedford Reader has included an adapted version of my Singled Out chapter on the children of single parents in each of the past two editions.

The Lakers rarely lose desired players. Although Dwight Howard left for the Houston Rockets in free agency, there are only 13 former Lakers currently under contract to other NBA teams:
Collectively, that's a powerful team in the middle and at small forward but a little iffy at guard, with all due respect to Fisher, Sessions and Brown.
Free agents Antawn Jamison, Darius Morris, Devin Ebanks, Luke Walton, Vladimir Radmanovic, Jannero Pargo and Lamar Odom all remain unsigned.
Andrew Goudelock recently signed a deal to play in Russia.
Odom has a remote chance to return to the Lakers, although there doesn't seem to be anything in the works. After the Lakers traded the forward to the Dallas Mavericks, he was dealt to the Clippers.
The Clippers are still looking to add a forward, although they recently signed Byron Mullens to a two-year deal.
After one season with the Lakers, it doesn't appear likely that Jamison will be back.
Left off the list is Marc Gasol, who was drafted by the Lakers but traded to the Memphis Grizzlies (for his brother Pau) before signing his first NBA contract. Also omitted: Chris Paul, who was almost traded to the Lakers before Commissioner David Stern blocked the proposed deal.

Converting Blog Readers into Customers
Guest post by Rashed Khan
According to research carried out by Social Media B2B, companies with an active blog generate 67% more sales leads than those without blogs. If you have a business, then this alone should be enough of a reason to create a blog on your website.
However, generating traffic and making the most of your blog is a skill that needs to be mastered. If done incorrectly, a blog can adversely affect your sales as the quality of the content can give an indication as to the quality of your general business practices.
With that in mind, here are some tips on making the most out of your content strategy by turning casual blog readers into converting customers.
Give solutions to problems
One of the main reasons people use the internet is to find answers to their problems. Your blog's readers read your blog because they believe it will help or benefit them in some way.
It is safe to say, humans in general are often very fickle. If your content doesn't give them reason to come back, then they won't. Think about the benefits of using your product or service and try to relate it to the problems that your customers have.
Before you can do this, you first need to find out what problems exist and you can do this by looking at what questions people are asking on forums within your industry, on social networking sites and also on sites like Quora which allow users to ask and answer questions.
Find out the key industry questions and simply answer them. You can then go back to the place where the question was asked and tell the person asking the questions that you have answered their question on your blog.
Inform rather than sell
Providing solutions to problems is a good way of converting traffic to your site into sales. However, the digital generation are very good at smelling a rat. Your potential customers want to feel like they are making their own decision rather than being forced to make a purchase.
When creating your posts, it is not always necessary to mention your product at all. When you do, talk about the problems your customers might face, and when mentioning your brand offer statistics and talk about how your product solves these problems.
Make use of case studies, positive feedback and events you attend
Has anything positive happened to you or your business lately? Then don't keep it to yourself, let your readers know.
Compile positive feedback and case studies about how your service helped a customer and post it on your blog. Your target market may be following events in your industry and if you're attending that event then why not tell your customers about this by mentioning it in a piece of content before and after the event.
Analyze which posts convert
To write blog posts that convert into sales, you first need to know what types of posts convert. Make use of web analytics tools and visitor level call tracking technology. These tools will show which posts are resulting in a sale and which posts aren't.
Web analytics tools can show the number of people who read a particular page and then go on to purchasing a product from your website. Visitor level call tracking technology can show the number of users who made a phone call after reading a particular post. If a number of people update your blog then this technology can show whose blog posts convert the best and whose don't.
Reply to comments
If your customers are asking questions or discussing something on your blog, there is a good chance that your blog readers are interested in one of your products.
However, if there is a barrier stopping them from making that purchase, remove this barrier by replying to their comment in a useful way. Remember, helping your potential customers should be the focus of your online strategy.
BIO: These tips on converting blog readers into customers have been written on behalf of visitor level call tracking experts ResponseTap.

5 Rocket Stocks Worth Buying This Week
Alexion Pharmaceuticals
There's no two ways about it -- it's been a phenomenal year for shares of Alexion Pharmaceuticals (ALXN). Shares of the $20 billion pharmaceutical firm have rallied 50% since the first trading day of January, besting the broad market's performance by a wide margin.
Alexion emerged from obscurity on the heels of its Soliris drug, a treatment for rare blood disorders. By focusing on niche treatments of rare diseases, Alexion gets the big benefits of orphan drug status, and it doesn't have to compete with big pharma rivals.>>10 Stocks of Top-Performing Mutual Funds in 2012 While Soliris is Alexion's sole drug, the firm has been working to gain its FDA approval for other autoimmune diseases. The result is more sales without more development costs associated with trying to bring other drugs to market. It's a perfect strategy for an orphan drug, which gets longer patent protection, and Soliris has already proven useful for other indications. That performance has helped the firm build a large cash backstop (more than $800 million at last count, offset by some added debt from its Enobia acquisition) that should help to fuel its future R&D costs. Let me be clear, though: ALXN isn't a cheap stock right now; it's actually quite overpriced. But momentum continues to be rock-solid in this stock, and buyers aren't scarce. That's why ALXN gets Rocket Stock status this week.

Madhouse Enforcer Season Review | Check out the highlights from Madhouse Enforcer's player reviews of a few select Blackhawks team members. Click on the player's name to see who makes the grade and who's got to go.
Keep up with all the Blackhawks news at the Madhouse Enforcer blog.
First thing we learned is that the Internet is still relatively new is Saskatoon, based on the quality of the video feed we were all treated to last night.
But besides that, the Hawks -- or some of them anyway -- actually laced up the skates and put on real jerseys and everything last night to kick off the preseason. The early preseason games are hard to make anything out of, as there are a bunch of guys on both sides who aren't going to be around long. And those that will be around are playing with them and affecting them in other ways and it's all kind of a mess. But whatever, it's hockey to watch, and that ain't bad.
Anyway, brief thoughts:
Anyway, that's about it. The next time we'll see the Hawks on ice is tomorrow in Pittsburgh.
-Correction Dept.: On August 30th I wrote a post about a piece from Neil Greenberg on ESPN that made the argument that Michael Frolik could break out for 30 goals this year. However, I wrongly attributed it to Hockey Prospectus. I apologize, and the change has been made.
Sam Fels is the proprietor of The Committed Indian, an unofficial program for the Blackhawks. You may have seen him hocking the magazine outside the United Center at Gate 3. The program is also available for purchase online. Fels is a lifelong 'Hawks fan and he also writes for Second City Hockey .

Information for First Years
Arts Network is here to help you feel like you belong, right from the word 'go', and to help you find out everything you need to know about getting started at Uni. Our mentoring program is a way of linking you up with other students in the Faculty who already know the ropes and are ready to share their knowledge and experience with you. It's also a great way to help you form your own network of friends, even before lectures begin!
How do I join in?
When you come to enrol at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences in January you'll be given some more information about the program, along with a blue reservation form. You can reserve your place by completing the blue form and dropping it into the Arts Network 'blue' box.
After you've reserved your place and your enrolment is complete, you will need to confirm your place on the First Year Sign-Up page
When you register for the program we'll add your details to our list of Welcome Day participants and match you with one of our fantastic senior students who has volunteered to be a mentor. Your mentor will keep in touch with you over the first couple of weeks of the first semester to help you settle in.
NB: Once you have confirmed your place, do remember to check your email (and your letterbox too) over the next few weeks - we'll be sending you important details on exactly where and when to meet on our Welcome Day!
Arts Network Mentoring Program Welcome Day
What other First Years say about mentoring
- "The program is a great introduction to uni life. I made instant connections to friends and contacts and had a lot of fun!"
- "Having a confident, friendly Mentor made all the difference on my first day. I appreciated someone giving me the inside information about the University, but told to me in a casual way."
- "My mentor was friendly and informative. He helped me get a basic understanding of uni live which was a great help. He also showed me around campus including where all my lectures and tutorials were which saved much confusion and frustration."
The best thing about the program was
- "Meeting people who are good mates now!"
- "Knowing I had a link with someone who's been through it all before; my mentor's knowledge in terms of transitioning from school to uni was useful."
- "Being able to ask seemingly stupid questions to mentors and receiving a reasonable and useful response! The day was a lot of fun - good to just hang out with other first years and relax."
You'll find lots more useful information on the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences website sydney.edu.au/arts If you have any other questions about the program, please send us an email at

One tip: usually the room kind of fills up quickly, so it might be a good idea to get there a few minutes before it starts. That's how it has happened the last couple of years when we've offered these info sessions.

A quick reminder, especially to the students who are currently out at Sheridan College, to drop by the Animation Portfolio Workshop info session tomorrow- Weds April 2 (see poster above for details).
We will be showing examples from the portfolios of our students that have snagged them spots in animation schools.....
Hope to see you there.
For all of you who missed today's Animation Portfolio Workshop info session at Sheridan College, it looks like we're going to hold one more information session on Weds April 9.
As soon as I have the exact details I'll post them here.
Gerard Sternik / Director
Animation Portfolio Workshop
Here is the info on the upcoming information session of the Animation Portfolio Workshop at Sheridan College this coming Wednesday April 9th in room A143 from 12pm to 1 pm.
I'm starting to get emails from disappointed students that have not been accepted into the animation program at Sheridan for fall of 2008, asking my advice on how to prepare to take another shot at getting into Sheridan.
I highly encourage any of you who can get there, to please attend this upcoming info session at Sheridan.
I'll post more details about what went on at the last info session and what to expect at the upcoming session in my next post.
Gerard Sternik / Director
Animation Portfolio Workshop
Oh yes...and have a look at our blog as we post the work of students from the last Workshop who have just been accepted into various animation programs
Here's a pic from the info session last week at Sheridan College...
The main points of discussion focused on what made the Workshop different from a general art fundamentals or foundation program.
To save space, I've pasted the link to another thread on this site where I answer this question in great detail:
Check out post #9 on that thread......
Happy reading, and hope to see you at the upcoming info session this Wednesday at Sheridan.

It is interesting to see the guests at Disneyland vs Disney World and the way "things go". I found us to be a novelty when cast members at DL asked where we were from (probably because we were from outside of LA and east of the Mississippi).
It is a bit strange to see Universal and Disney really not in competition with each other in CA. They seemed to have found their own nitche in the market and actually support each other. Thats very different from FL!
Good for Universal Florida too. People criticized them during the worst of the recession for not heavily discounting and for budging very little on ticket prices and deals. They took their lumps in attendance, but stayed strong, kept their revenue up, and built great attractions instead of puckering up. As I predicted would happen during that crisis, Universal has managed to take a chunk out of Disney this year because Disney had a hard time seeing past the panic. I read that Islands of Adventure has been filled to capacity the past few days...the point where they could let nobody else in. As much as I loathe Harry Potter, there's no denying that Universal did it up right, and there's no denying that there are still a lot of people out there that love him. Long term success for Harry...we'll see, but for now he's king of Orlando.
The year that Harry Potter opened, their rates doubled across the board. What use to be a less expensive alternative to Disney, basically for families on a budget, to now direct competition with Disney on price. Personally, we were sadden by their greed and now have passes to Disney World. It will be a while before we head back to US/IOA.
Glad the area is doing well, it's been hard hit for the past 3 years and it shows in the appearance of the parks. Even at Disney, things that normally would have been repaired within hours were still not fixed by the time we left. Sad... Hopefully 2011 will bring not only some reliable attendance, but some much needed funds to keep all the parks looking great.
Admittedly, Sea World always looks great, but they don't even try to pretend they are Disney or US/IOA. They do their own thing and it serves them well...
Thanks for the good post!
I also think another 2 reasons are:
-since the economy was bad for some time people weren't going on vacation either so maybe now it was time already to go back on vacation, and spend some of the money they didn't spend the last couple of years. (saying yeeze things are bad I don't think we're going on vacation this year!)
-after all is Disney! (...Universal/Seaworld) The point being, parks are going to be awful this time a year, but I'm guessing for a lot of people that is still better than no Disney in 2010. Having to wait until next year's Christmas to go on vacation again. Plus even if awfully crowded I'm willing to bet it is better to say "Hey George, what did you did on Christmas?" - Me and the family went to Disney World... v.s. Ahhg nothing we stay at home and did nothing...
Sorry, the data shows that skiing is waaay more expensive than visiting theme parks.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My six year old has received great instruction, had a great time, and I felt that her teacher was willing to go the extra yard.
The teachers are excellent and a special pat on the back to Mr. Nixon! My concern is for the kids who have a hard time keeping up. Why do things have to be done so fast? The whole district needs to slow down and let the kids relax a bit and have some fun. If you won't slow down, then offer at least one class for kids who need to take more time. You offer GATE for the fast kids, what about the slower ones?
Our family has been very pleased with Feickert Elementary in this, our first year there. Both our second grader and kindergartner are receiving great instruction tailored to their level of achievement. We have been pleased with the variety of instruction they have been receiving. We are also very excited about the level of parent involvement at the school. A majority of the school community seems to be enthisiastic about attending functions at the school, unlike the school we came from where parent participation was apathetic, at best.
I am very dismayed that no minority student scores are represented in the school's scoring. However, a nice little side note stating how African American and Hispanic students usually rate lower really shocked me. The blatant perpetuation of stereotypes saddens me. How can this statement be made and then have nothing to back it up. Both of my children scored in the 90's on their Star 9 tests, with my son scoring the highest score possible in the language area and (HORROR!) he is bi-racial, African American and Hispanic. Since he doesn't fit into the stereotype, does that make him some sort of oddity, or just a kid with parents that instills in him the importance of education. This is not something only pertaining to 'White' kids. The insinuation that it is is insulting. With that being said, as the mother of 2 Feickert students, we love the school.
My two sons went from K-6 at Feickert. They had a very positive experience. Their teachers were top- notch, caring, and intelligent professionals. Although it has been 9 years since they 'graduated', most of the same teachers are still there, working hard, inspiring students, and changing lives, one child at a time.
Wonderful school with great teachers and staff.
All In all, I'd rate Feickert highly. My son's teachers have been excellent. My main concern though is the lack of support for programs like P. E. and art and music ...the things that make elementary school fun for a student and round out his education. I doubt if my son gets more than 15 minutes a week of PE (It's supposed to be 90) and I don't think he has had any real art instruction at all. Let's forget about these standardized tests and put the fun back in school.

Stop reading me facebook stories.
I don't care.

I don't care.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs cookie cutters. Set of four for $19.95 at Williams Sonoma.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Cakelet pan. At Williams Sonoma for $39.95.
WTF is with everything tonight.
First the ITR WoW server kicked me.
Then work kicked me like 3 times.
Now Pottermore is being buggy. I made a potion, went to wait for it, then it was like 'lol nope, that work you just did didn't count' and now they say I have no potion cooking.
Work server keeps kicking me. Pissing me off. Stop it.
Can someone please come take my grandmother off my hands? Like for real?
She left a bag of cat shit sitting on our dryer all day today. In the laundry room that's just a curtain away from the kitchen.
I've been wondering where the smell was coming from all day, and I thought that bag was totally something else, but it wasn't.
It was cat poop.
Stinking up our laundry room and kitchen.
All day.
Lol, people at work are complaining about the changes they made to the Vetter role. Either STFU or leave. The end. You don't like it, then go, leave the questions and the money to people who need it. If you're gonna complain like you are, then obviously you don't need the money that bad.
So much has just bugged me today.
Grandma has to fucking narrate for me everything she's god damn doing, she has to spray some fucking aerosol spray that makes me cough and gag every 30 minutes, I really don't want to work but I know I need to, and I'm feeling really depressed and just want to go climb into my bed, cuddle my cats and sleep for a week.
Grandma found a white pill in the hall way earlier, and I convinced her to no throw it away. I couldn't find anything on it online, searching the description, so I think it might be drug drugs. I kinda just want to take it and find out.
If anyone has any…experience with drugs, maybe you could identify it.
It's small, it's the size of the O in the 'add a text post' on tumblr, white, round, unscored, there is an A on one side, and 52 on the other. It's not smooth either like normal pills, it's very rough looking, no smell that I can detect and I'm not licking it.
And awesome, grandma just took a shit and now the whole living room stinks.
Don't want to work.
Have to work. Another Red Alert Contest. I have till Midnight to earn 800 points for another part of a $300 pot.
Found out the kids broke off a piece of the keyboard of my laptop last night. Somehow they managed to get the Q off, which is hard to do, so lord knows what the fuck they did with it, but whatever, now they're never touching it again. They didn't even fucking bother telling me. I found out last night when I went to go talk to my brother but he was asleep, with the fucking laptop on the floor where it fell off the bed. I picked it up to turn it off and noticed my fucking key was missing. So now it's put up and no one is fucking touching it until they replace the key. And after that they don't touch it.
Found a place to buy replacement keys but it's fucking $5 just for a damn key. With shipping, thankfully they don't try to butt fuck you there, it's only $7 total, but fuck man. I got cats to feed and bills to pay.
Fucking grandma has been in the kitchen for over an hour, cooking, making the house hotter and stinkier then it needs to be.
I should have been working the past hour, but I can't, because 1. my work makes a doorbell sound when I get a question in, and she has to comment each time it happens (I don't like it being on mute, I WoW or surf the net on down times and I don't know I get a question if I can't hear it) and 2. because she always has to ask for things when I'm in the middle of a question, and she can't hold her britches for 30 fucking seconds while I answer a question.

its because our citizens are willing to give up any right as long as it doesn't affect them directly ... they are completely blind to that the fact that every right they waive has devastating indirect effects in their lives ... seperatisim, greed, and the illusion of freedom welcome to the united states of america

The sports-touring Honda CBR1000F was always in the shadow of more exciting motorcycles, yet had a decade long production run. It had its good points, such as a comfortable riding position, good build quality - except for early camchain tensioner problems - and respectable handling. But the Honda CBR1000F is so bland it makes Katie Melua look like a brazen rock chick.
929cc, 152bhp, 164mph, Insurance group 17
The Honda CBR900RR FireBlade's biggest revamp to date came for 2000 and it wasn't exactly what fans were expecting. New fuel injection was thirsty and made smooth riding harder. The 17" wheel tamed the Honda CBR900RR FireBlade's lively nature. More importantly the raucous, powerful Yamaha YZF-R1 was in the scene and the Suzuki GSX-R1000 was on the horizon – both better ...
1450cc, 65bhp, 115mph, Insurance group 15
Basically the Harley-Davidson Dyna Super Glide Sport is as per the stock Harley-Davidson Dyna Super Glide but with a touch more hard edged sporting attitude courtesy of flat bars, a different seat, twin disc brakes and a touch more mean and moody matt black paint.
1064cc, 91bhp, 135mph, Insurance group 13
The V11 is something of an oddball in Moto Guzzi recent history, but one actually gaining in appeal and charm. The first Moto Guzzi V11 was launched in 1999 and was a worthy, good–looking if heavy roadster using Moto Guzzi's traditional and characteristic transverse 1100 V-twin shaft mated to a raft of top spec cycle parts yet let down by equally ...
904cc, 80bhp, 140mph, Insurance group 14
Real retro sports motorcycle that was outdated when new. If you're after all-out speed, practicality or reliability look elsewhere. If you want old school charm, a great twin cylinder sound track, stunning looks and handling to surprise the odd modern motorcycle the Ducati 900SS is worth a look.
1064cc, 90bhp, 140mph, Insurance group 13
You can surprise a few four cylinder sportbike owners on the 1100 Sport, but you have to really work hard at the job, and the bottom line is that the 1100 Sport is too heavy, too old fashioned for seriously fast motorcycling. Trackdays often end in tears.
992cc, 84bhp, 134mph, Insurance group 14
It's difficult to pigeonhole the Ducati 1000SS. It's definitely no full-on sports motorcycle, but you couldn't really claim to tour on it, either. It's hugely charming, but is not really the sort of motorcycle to thrash. Best not to worry about all that and simply revel in the Ducati 1000SS' easy handling, V-twin soundtrack and retro looks.
904cc, 70bhp, 117mph, Insurance group 12
Cagiva's Gran Canyon is a great motorcycle to ride, with nimble handling, lazy, easy-to-love power and plenty of tuning potential. Sadly, though, it's let down by crummy component quality and ridiculous servicing costs. It shines around town or on A-roads, but it's a less assured performer on longer, faster routes.
1203cc, 95bhp, 135mph, Insurance group 15
The Buell X1 Lightning evolved from the M2 Cyclone and features the same short wheelbase chassis, with Showa suspension on the early run base models, then WP kit on the later X1 Lightning, and souped up White Lightning variant. With more grunt than the M2 the X1 feels like more fun and the build quality improved somewhat as time went ...
998cc, 124bhp, 165mph, Insurance group 17
Although arguably a better bike, the Ducati 999 has never really stepped out of the shadows of the preceding, iconic Ducati 916 series of motorcycles. It lacks the grunty, fluid finesse of its V-twin rival motorcycles, the comfort of Japanese superbikes and has typical Ducati failings; of poor riding position, useless mirrors and quirky electrics. On the right racetrack, the Ducati 999 ...

I fear Judgment Day.
The day my family and friends
Hear me say that I am bi.
The remainder of my life depends
On how they react to that statement.
Will I leave me family
And find new friends?
Or will they
Accept me for who I am?
I fear Judgment Day.
The day everyone sees the real me.
When I come into the open
And everyone can see
The thing I have hidden my life long.

Be sure to choose a side to live by in life
you can either be moral
Or you can be ethical
May include the influences of alcohol, weed and a bitter love life.
Be sure to choose a side to live by in life
you can either be moral
Or you can be ethical
In the passing of months
I realized I was living with a skin disorder.
most people do
because I found myself questioning
why I belonged in mine
I had everything I wanted
But not everything I needed
When I had opened that door
I didn't expect my mind
to become rushed with memories
all because of your familiar sent
I laid on the thin cot
staring at the ceiling
watching the slow twirl of the fan
drag the shadows across the room
It was the smartest
And dumbest thing I ever did
Use someone.
Nevermore had I wanted to feel
your muscles from your arm against my chest
as I hear you call me "little lady" once more
Halloween taught us when we were younger
That people have no issue in dressing up
and pretending to be something they're not
If abandonment won't kill you,
then the only person that matters
is yourself.
But we didn't stay with each other
Because we feared losing
something we never had

Crosswalk.com Grammy Awards Recap
- Thursday, February 24, 2000
For info on which Christian artists won Grammys click here!
God was actually talked about, rather than just thanked, at this year's Grammy Awards, handed out Wednesday night February 23, 2000. During her opening monologue, hostess Rosie O'Donnell sent out a message to all the winners that she "talked to God backstage, and He says, 'You're welcome.'" Obviously a reference to people who thank God for their awards, her comment lead many of the winners to refer back to it during their acceptance speeches, including TLC, Sting, and Whitney Houston. TLC, who won two awards for their R&B/Urban project, FANMAIL, one-upped Rosie by saying that they also ran into God backstage and "He said 'Don't forget to thank Me.'"
Rosie came out a little later in the telecast and appealed to the obviously "thankful" winners by saying that she didn't have anything against thanking God, but that she can't imagine God up in Heaven thinking, "I've got to find a way to bring about world peace, end hunger, and make sure Whitney Houston gets a Grammy." touché
I've got to side with Rosie on that one, although just thanking God doesn't necessarily imply a belief that God is responsible for the win.
God longs to be thanked and given credit for the good things that happen to us. Getting a raise, eating a good meal, or even winning a Grammy are things that are probably not going to make much of a difference in the span of eternity. But thanking God for all that we receive will keep us in the position of receiver, and God as the Giver.
I've thought this about the Christian music industry many times. At parties given for #1 radio singles or GOLD album celebrations, God is continually given thanks for His blessings. Everybody works really hard to make sure a project succeeds and then God is thanked. I can't help but think about people who never reach the top ten, or the artists that are dropped from their labels for not selling enough, or even the marriages that have suffered because somebody worked long hours in the office trying to get a project to really explode. How easy is it to give thanks to God in those instances? Are God's blessings actually manifested in ways that are visible and applauded? Or could we possibly be extremely messed up in our thinking about how God operates?
With the Dove Awards quickly approaching I'm wondering if there may be some creative ways that we could accept our awards, so we don't look like we're just a sub-division of the world. It's almost too easy for us to get up on stage and accept our awards, thanking God and our agents, but still feeling inside like the affirmation you get from people through an award is a sign that God applauds what you're doing.
OK...so who DID win?
Guitar-legend Carlos Santana emerged as the big winner of the evening, tying the record for most Grammys received in one night, with eight trophies, including the three major awards for Album, Record and Song of the Year. Santana's SUPERNATURAL project has become his biggest seller to date throughout a career that has spanned over thirty years. TLC, Dixie Chicks, Sting, Eminem, and Shania Twain all emerged as double Grammy winners. In a battle of teen-pop princesses, Christina Aguilera surprisingly took the crown for New Artist away from Britney Spears, who appeared to be a shoe-in.
-Did Rosie seem overly caustic in her humor? She came across more mean, than funny.
-Why must everyone who performs do two songs with a costume change? "Here's my hit, and NOW my new single!" Do we as an audience get bored that quickly that we can't even make it through one song any longer?
-Did anyone think that the amazing jazz vocalist Diana Krall looks A LOT like Nichole Nordeman?
-Oddest dancers: TLC's rhythmic gymnasts, and both Britney's dancing flowers & soldier puppets. WEIRD!
-Highlight of the show: NARAS President Michael Greene presenting stunning performances by teen musicians. "This is what it's all about folks. We must nourish this gift in our children," He encouraged. Very powerful!

First, let me say /agree with pretty much everyone above.
Second, I think that if Blizzard worked with sites such as ebay to catch the scalpers, there could potentially be an additional 1000 tickets made available from confiscation. But, that's on Blizzard's shoulders to address, and I don't expect it to be an easy thing to do.
Third, in reference to the idea of a larger venue for next year, I doubt Blizzard will move the con outside of their "home turf", if you will, of southern California. And I don't know of an indoor venue much bigger than Anaheim CC at that kind of price. The LACC is almost certainly more expensive by a large degree. What Blizz might consider is using LA Live or somewhere similar, which mean they could potentially expand to meet demand; rent Nokia Theatre LA Live, Staples Center, and even expand into portions of LACC as they need. This would give them significantly more flexibility in attendance, IMO.

It's coming. Even the white ribbon
of seabirds who roost along lake's edge
at sundown abandon their customary harbor.
The wind's too ominous tonight, too sharp
with sorrow. "Elsewhere," say the birds,
as they take untimely exodus. Such
melancholia here! not only for death of day,
but for fall's fitful frenzy, give way
to winter's sway.
The only residual warmth from autumn's
dazzling delirium is how the setting sun
paints one side of the pine trees with
bronze beatitude as they pump iron beside
the nearly denuded fig. This cancer's
seasonal, no terminus here: bald limbs
summon their own beauty.
"Don't die this year, " begs the fig tree
as I mourn beneath its skeleton. "Come spring,
I'll bring back the sweetness you crave, as
even now my sleeping roots suckle sustenance
you parented at my planting. O Earth mother,
we embrace this bitter journey together.

Cordelia makes such a fantastic victim.
She screams and squeals and twitches, but also makes these petulant remarks. LIKE REALLY YOU ARE ALMOST DEAD and you still are telling the bad guy they're ugly.
Then Buffy saves her and she's grateful for about half a second, before carrying on with her day, brushing her hair and scoffing at geeks, like nothing happened.
That's some impressive myopic resilience.

We offer a safe, developmentally appropriate learning environment that serves a small yet diverse group of preschoolers from our parish family, the community, and under-served families living in our vicinity. Using Montessori teaching principals and environment, best educational practices, and our spiritual traditions, we offer education of the whole child.

We encourage our students in the delights of literature, art, and music, while building a caring community of learners. To these ends, we strive to have parents, teachers, and other community members actively involved in our students' hands-on experiential learning.
Our Program
- Offers a Montessori environment and curriculum. Students learn by working hands- on, touching, creating, and manipulating the materials in the classroom. They build concentration and form a deeper understanding of the concepts they have been taught.
- Enriches children in spiritual traditions, giving them opportunity to receive and enjoy the most essential elements of wonder and trust.
- Creates together a place of preparation for life and for involvement in the larger community.
