Your Child's First Dental Visit
When twins Alisha and Christina Copcsos turned three, they went for their first dental visit. "I had taken the girls to the pediatrician for their annual checkup and asked the doctor if it was time for them to see a dentist," recalls their mother Claire. "I told him how afraid I was of the dentist and didn't want my children to be afraid, too." That's when the doctor recommended a pediatric dentist in her area.
For Trey Wonner, that first dental visit did not occur until he was four—the age the family's dentist recommended to Trey's mom, Lorraine.
"The median age for first visits is about two-and-one-half years old, but I really like to see kids by age one," says pediatric dentist Michael Griesmer, DDS, in Boardman, Ohio. "It's not that we see a lot of problems in one-year olds, it's just a good idea to get the child acquainted with coming and start his dental health off right."
During the initial consultation, parents can expect the dentist to count their child's teeth and discuss cleaning, diet, frequency of appointments, and long-term dental care. "The first appointment is as much about the parents as it is the child," says Griesmer. "It helps parents know what to expect and begins familiarizing the child with going to the dentist."
Preparing Kids
Prior to Trey's first visit, he and his mother discussed the trip. "When we brushed his teeth, I would remind him of how important it is to take care of them. Then we would talk about what to expect at the dentist's office," says Lorraine. "Some of his friends had recently gone themselves, so it was a natural conversation." The most important thing Lorraine did, however, was to keep the topic positive. "I was careful not to say anything that would make him apprehensive."
"I bought the girls The Berenstain Bears Visit the Dentist book and read it to them all the time," Claire remembers. "Then we would talk about the visit and I would let them know they had to go every six months to keep their teeth shiny and healthy."
Parents play a key role in preparing their child for that first visit, says pediatric dentist Jim Wilcox, DDS, in Joilet, Illinois. "Be relaxed and at ease with your child. Any anxiety on your part will be sensed." Most important, avoid negative talk. "Don't use words that may create fear such as 'hurt,' 'shot,' 'drill,' 'x-ray,' or 'needle.'"
Griesmer agrees. "We have what we call bad words—'yank,' 'pull,' 'pinch,' etc. These words are not in our vocabulary and we don't want parents to use them either." Most people, he says, are pretty forthcoming if they have a negative perception of the dentist. If this is the case, do not to relay it to your child. "There is no reason for a child to be nervous about going to the dentist. If he doesn't think it is going to hurt him and hasn't had his mind preprogrammed, half the battle is won right there." Griesmer's advice? "Take a positive approach: 'The dentist is going to clean your teeth and they are going to look beautiful when he's done.'"

There are 3 contact points between you and the bike when you ride… The handlebars, the saddle, and the pedals/shoes. I have found that these three parts are what can most easily make or break a rider's experience on a ride. And, in my opinion, these three points should be given a lot of testing and thought equipment wise. The saddle is probably the most important comfort wise, but the shoes and pedals are were all of your power transfer happens. If your shoes and pedals do not function properly, quite frankly, you're screwed. It's probably no coincidence that these 3 points can be some of the most expensive parts of a bike too. So that begs the question, can a $45 pair of Forte Pedals fight for themselves in the world of pedals?
In short, my experience says yes. The Forte Carve MTB Pedal is a double-sided entry SPD pedal design. It should be noted that I use these on my road bike with Pearl Izumi All-Road shoes. I am a road cyclist that rides with SPDs currently because I like the versatility of the shoes. Eventually I do plan on switching to road shoes and cleats but right now I do road cycling with SPDs. The pedals weigh 295g according to Performance Bicycle's website and are made from an aluminum body and chromoly spindle. I haven't seen any problem with wear or durability so far.
I have put about 450 miles on these pedals and I have to say, I have been unexpectedly pleasantly surprised. I knew I was buying Performance's brand and that it doesn't have the same great reputation as say Shimano. Now, I would have loved to buy some Shimano pedals, but I didn't want to spend that much money because I knew that eventually I'll be switching over to road equipment and that it wouldn't be worth it to invest upwards of about $100 on a set of pedals that I wouldn't be using heavily for years. The Carve pedals were also on sale for $40 so I picked those and decided to see how they worked. My old pedals were one sided entry and it was really annoying to try to get it on the right side after stopping so that was my main reason for buying new pedals.
For the first couple rides I noticed that I was having trouble with my shoe slipping out of the pedal. I couldn't figure it out but I knew it was a big problem. Having my foot come out during an out of the saddle climb and essentially falling on the saddle is NOT pleasant by any stretch of the imagination. OUCH! But I also realized that if I wasn't prepared for it, my foot unexpectedly unclipping could even cause a crash. So I sat down one evening with my old pedals, new pedals, and shoes to try to figure out what was wrong. Turns out, the metal name plate in the center stuck up enough to the point where my cleat wouldn't fully seat itself in the pedal. Luckily I was able to unscrew the name plate with a torx screwdriver. Then, I tried out the pedals, and what do you know? I didn't have any issues with accidental unclipping!
After I fixed that problem, I haven't had any issues of unclipping or anything really. They are easy to enter and exit but I feel confident in sprints that they will hold. They have 5 degrees of float and I haven't had any knee problems with them the whole time! I honestly can say that I haven't regretted going with the Forte Carve pedals at all. If you're looking for a good quality, value priced pedal, you can't beat these pedals.
*Note – These pedals were bought with my own money and this review was not affiliated with Performance Bicycle or Forte Parts in any way.*

Shrode Lake Cabin is open year-round, offering the opportunity to enjoy both summer and winter recreation in beautiful Prince William Sound. The cabin is in a secluded location that provides a true backcountry experience.The site can be accessed by float plane or boat, depending on conditions. Those arriving by boat should be prepared to hike 1 mile to the cabin from where the boat anchors at Long Bay. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.
Shrode Cabin is situated on the northeastern shore of Shrode Lake, a freshwater lake near Long Bay, which is just off Culross Passage in Prince William Sound. Shrode Lake is separated from the saltwater Long Bay by a lagoon.The cabin is located in an open grassy and muskeg area with evergreen forest nearby. The front of the cabin overlooks the lake and surrounding mountains.
Hike on the 1 mile trail to Long Bay or hike to Jack Lake, which is a half-mile from the cabin. Threefingers Cove to the west of Shrode Lake is another beautiful hiking destination. The Jack Lake and Threefingers Cove trails are primitive trails and may require some route finding.
The cabin is a 16 x 16 foot A-frame with a main floor and a sleeping loft. It accommodates up to 6 people and comes equipped with wooden bunks, a kerosene heater, a table, benches, broom, fire extinguisher and an outhouse with a pit toilet. No water, electricity or fuel for the heater is provided. Freshwater is available around the cabin, but it must be treated before drinking.

"Because I thought you were Gerard Way, the man who saved my life and gave me a purpose."
She watched Gerard on stage as he smiled, sang and blew kisses at the crowd. How come the amazing Gerard onstage was so different when he got off that stage? Why was he so angry all the time? Why was he moody? Samantha couldn't understand it. She was always the same onstage as she was off.
The moment that MCR came off stage, Samantha ran over to Gerard and asked "Can I talk to you please?"
"No you can't, I'm going back to the tour bus."
"You won't be able to go back straightaway, you know the place is swarming with fans and you can't stand the fans, remember?" Samantha raised her eye-brows and Gerard groaned but followed her through the building until they got to an empty corridor where they could talk privately "Have you let fame go to your head or something?" Samantha asked bluntly.
"What are you talking about?"
"I mean why are you such a jerk?" Samantha wasn't angry, her tone was even and wasn't raised "You're rude to the rest of the band, your fans, all of the sound and lighting guys, basically everyone who helped you get where you are. Like, what's your problem?"
"Listen! I don't know who you think you're talking to-"
"Neither do I." Samantha muttered "Because I thought you were Gerard Way, the man who saved my life and gave me a purpose. But he's not a jerk and your Sir, are definitely a jerk. Goodnight."
Samantha walked towards the exit "You'll get swarmed by fans." Gerard told her.
"They're not here to see me, are they?" Samantha yelled and charged outside. She pushed past the fans, even the ones yelling her name and collapsed onto the tour bus.
All her friends were sitting around; still wide awake "I thought you'd gone to bed?" Samantha exploded.
"Unfortunately Penina kept having giggle fits and kept us awake." Daniel explained "She said she's ready to tell us what Frank said to her but she didn't wanna repeat it to you so we had to wait until you got here so shut up and sit down so we can find out."
"Okay fine, tell us then." Samantha said, sitting cross-legged on the floor.
Penina smiled "So I followed him inside and he was all 'I'm kinda nervous' and you have no idea how adorable Frank is when he's nervous so I was all 'oh don't worry I'm kinda always nervous around you' and he laughed and then he totally asked me out on a date LIKE OH MY GOD GUYS FRANK FUCKING IERO ASKED ME OUT ON A FUCKING DATE OH MY FUCKING GOD!"

UNIONDALE, NY – The holidays will be that much merrier in Toronto.
Edging past the Islanders by a 5-3 final at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Friday night, the Leafs grinded into the Christmas break with five points (2-0-1) in their last three games, now sixth in the Eastern Conference with 40 points.
"You don't want to be an Ebenezer Scrooge at Christmas time for a couple of days," Ron Wilson said. "To get five of the last six points was huge for us to start moving ahead and being confident."
The Leafs jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the opening frame, kick-started by Clarke MacArthur's first in 10 games. Turnovers and some pushback from the Islanders saw that lead evaporate into just one, before Joey Crabb potted the shorthanded game-winner midway through the second.
"We want to continue to get better every night as a group and learn from experiences that we've had whether it's good or bad," Dion Phaneuf noted. "You look at a game like tonight; we come out really well and then have a little bit of a lapse, but I thought it was really good to see how we responded there to finish it." The Leafs inched past the Sabres by a 3-2 final one night earlier, set to hit the road for a three-game trip following the two-day break, rolling through Florida, Carolina and Winnipeg. "We really wanted to get these last two going into the break," MacArthur concluded. "It's not much of a cushion, but it's something when we get back, we get on that road trip we can try and build on it some more."
Five Points
1. Nazem Kadri added his second goal in as many games since being recalled from the Marlies. Kadri deposited a backhand past Evgeni Nabakov on the powerplay for the Leafs second goal. "Nazzie's making all the right plays right now," Wilson said. "I can't remember him really turning one over tonight so that's a real plus. He's got to keep playing like that every night." Decision-making has caught the eye of teammates in each of his first two games. "He's been playing well and not just the scoring aspect," Tim Connolly said, following a two-assist performance. "He's making little plays, doing the smart things, keeping the game simple, chipping pucks in, back-checking; those are the things that are important for a hockey team."
2. Kadri has quickly injected a spark alongside Connolly and MacArthur on what proved to be the Leafs most effective line on Friday, responsible for the three opening goals. "I just think we're all kind of on the same page offensively," Kadri said. "We know each other's instincts and where we're going to be. It's coming together well. We're talking, we're moving the puck and I think it's definitely showing out there." The 21-year-old buried a MacArthur feed for the game-winner against the Sabres one night earlier.
3. James Reimer made 30 saves, not looking entirely comfortable at times in his first set of back-to-back starts this season. "A few times I thought he looked a little fatigued, but he still managed to get the job done," Wilson said. "That's the important thing." "It seemed like pucks were bouncing in my glove a little bit," Reimer added. "But I was trying to fight to see the puck, just fight to get a sight-line and try and get something in front of it." The win was Reimer's first in five starts on the road this season (1-3-0).
4. With an assist on Crabb's shorthanded winner, Tyler Bozak has now posted seven goals and 19 points in the last 19 games, totaling 24 this season. The 25-year-old is only eight points away from matching his total from all of last season.
5. John-Michael Liles sat on Friday with a sore neck (he'll return on Tuesday) allowing Jake Gardiner to check back into the lineup after a one-game stint in the press-box. "He looked fine tonight," Wilson said. "Just reset the computer. He was moving the puck, he had a good stick tonight and he was moving his feet." Gardiner logged a shade under 19 minutes, adding an assist on Kadri's second of the season.
Bonus Points
Carl Gunnarsson led the Leafs in ice-time with over 23 minutes, notching his first goal of the season, also finishing with a plus-3 rating. "He was really good defensively; great stick, moving pucks, shutting down important people when he had to. He had a great game," Wilson said…Phil Kessel and Joffrey Lupul teamed to score the empty-netter with Lupul potting his 16th of the season. Kessel inches to within two points of Claude Giroux in the scoring race (41 points), while Lupul jumps into a tie for sixth (38)…The Leafs improved to 2-3-1 in the second half of back-to-backs this season, also improving to 10-8-0 on the road.

Apologies are in order. As it now turns out, Magnus has yet to repeat Neanderthal. Apparently it was just a rumour that went viral on facebook... probably the source was an interview on Desnivel, where he, ironically, is talking about his struggle to repeat the route.
This would be Magnus' second of the grade, the first being the radically different Ali-Hulk sit start extension in the Ali-Baba cave at Rodellar.
Last spring he fell 26 times at the crux dyno separating the hard climbing below and the easier above. Obviously it became a head game, and now the count is up to 40 or so.
Chris Sharma made the first ascent of the route in 2009.
Here is a video of Magnus working the route last season.

|home : index : ancient Rome : Germania Inferior : article by Jona Lendering ©
Albaniana (Alphen aan den Rijn)
inferior: small province
of the Roman empire, situated along the Lower Rhine.
This webpage is part of a series of short descriptions of villages in Germania
inferior. An overview can be found here.
The fort at Albaniana controlled the confluence of the small river Aar and the frontier river Rhine. It was situated directly opposite the confluence, even though there was a much drier place several hundreds of meters to the west.
A part of the wall and a gate were excavated in 2002-2003. A dendrochronological dating of the wood enables us to say that the fort was built after the state visit of Caligula to Germania Inferior in 40/41. This conclusion becomes almost inevitable when we take into account that about a quarter of the coins found at Alphen aan den Rijn dates back to the reign of this emperor, which lasted less than four years.
The fort was reconstructed in 50/60, after the Batavian Revolt (in 70), and after 160.
Near the site of the old fort is a modern open-air museum (Archeon), where ancient and medieval buildings are reconstructed. In 2007, a start was made with reconstructing the excavated gate, which will be finished in 2008.

Heartland Wairarapa have submitted their case for entry to the 2013-14 national summer football league.
And while there are no guarantees they will be given the green light by New Zealand Football, the board members are "very optimistic" of a favourable result.
"We believe we have ticked all the boxes, both financially and administratively," board member Phil Keinzley told the Wairarapa Times-Age yesterday. "We are ready to go."
Just when Heartland Wairarapa will know their fate is unclear. If the national hierarchy decide to stay with the same number of teams as this season (eight), it might not happen until March, but if they elect to increase that number to say 10, it could be earlier than that.
A successful submission will see Heartland Wairarapa play their league games at the home of Wairarapa-Bush rugby, Memorial Park, starting next November, with Keinzley confident the surface there will be ideal for quality football.
Many of the players likely to be part of any Heartland Wairarapa squad will be turning out for Wairarapa United in this year's Central League, something Keinzley believes will be a big help in deciding who has the talent to perform at the highest level, and who doesn't.
"Obviously we wouldn't start settling on a playing roster or the coaching staff until we hear we are in the national league; that's when things will really start to take off."
The plan is to build a youth team which will comprise the district's most promising age group players, working closely with both New Zealand Football and Capital Soccer in the development of this side.
"The whole idea is to create a pathway which will enable our younger players to eventually make it all the way to the national league," Keinzley said.
On the administration front, Heartland Wairarapa is particularly well served with members of the board, including high profile identities such as Bob Francis (chairman), Sam Rossiter-Stead (CEO), Peter Cocks, Jorge Sandoval, Bruce Logan, Sarah Parker, John Tulloch, Shane McManaway, Nick Rogers and former All Whites coach Allan Jones.
Letters supporting national league entry have been received from other notables, Sir Michael Fay and Sir Brian Lochore.

A commercial building designed for creative minds.
Marcel Wanders, in collaboration with Aedes Real Estate, designed Amsterdam'sWesterhuis. The former school was transformed into a commercial building filled with Wanders' trademark designs, such as his Carbon Chairs for moooi and Big Shadows lamp for Cappellini. The Moooi Gallery occupies most of the main floor, while the upper floors house multiple art and culture firms.
An affordable sisal remnant is a smart choice that adds texture to this entrance.
A large black mirror, a steal at $50, visually doubles the space of this area and fits perfectly above a narrow table. The roman blinds throughout the main level are inexpensive linen attached to tension rods and held open with black ribbon.
Polished and sparkling, lacquered accents contrast beautifully with natural materials in a room.
The white lacquered desk, sideboard and bookcases look sleek and modern against the neutral palette. Designer Deb Nelson used many vibrantly hued lacquered trays and catchalls to provide continuity and a pop of colour. Her inspiration colours for the room are a bright yellow (Hot Curry) and a creamy white (Corn Rows), both from Para.
Display pretty pots and dishes for a bit of colour
Rows of open shelves make this light and airy kitchen space feel relaxed and informal. The freestanding island unit that houses the sink keeps the cook connected to the dining area while offering storage space and cleverly concealing potentially messy work areas.

Install dimmers on over-island lighting.
Homeowner Christine Woolner wanted a functional kitchen with a vintage black and white look, which design firm McIntyre Billsachieved with Shaker cabinetry, granite counters and traditional hardware. "Install dimmer switches on your lighting," advises Ronald Bills of McIntyre Bills. "Whether for ceiling fixtures or lamps, they're essential." Especially for lights over an island, dimmers allow for low lighting while entertaining around the island and brighter lighting while cooking.
An open island contributes to an airy look.
Using store-bought cabinets, an apron-front sink and classic finishes, design editor Cameron MacNeil created a relaxed space. The glass-fronted cabinets, open shelves and butcher-block counters are key to the room's casual feel.

13 U.S. Code § 101 - Defective, dependent, and delinquent classes; crime
prev | next
(a) The Secretary may collect decennially statistics relating—
(b) The statistics authorized by subsection (a) of this section shall include information upon the following questions, namely: age, sex, color, nativity, parentage, literacy by race, color, nativity, and parentage, and such other questions relating to such subjects as the Secretary deems proper.
Source(Aug. 31, 1954, ch. 1158, 68 Stat. 1018.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed., §§ 111, 113 (Mar. 6, 1902, ch. 139, § 7,32 Stat. 52; June 7, 1906, ch. 3048, 34 Stat. 218; June 18, 1929, ch. 28, § 3,46 Stat. 21; Mar. 4, 1931, ch. 490, 46 Stat. 1517; 1939 Reorganization Plan No. II, § 4(e), eff. July 1, 1939, 4 F.R. 2731, 53 Stat. 1431; 1940 Reorganization Plan No. III, § 3,5 F.R. 2107, 54 Stat. 1232; June 25, 1947, ch. 124, 61 Stat. 163; Sept. 7, 1950, ch. 910, § 4,64 Stat. 785).
Section consolidates part of section 111 of title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed., with section 113 of such title which also related to statistics with respect to crime and to the "defective, dependent, and delinquent classes".
"Secretary", meaning the Secretary of Commerce, was substituted for "Director of the Census" to conform with Reorganization Plan No. 5, §§ 1, 2, eff. May 24, 1950, 15 F.R. 3174, 64 Stat. 1263. See Revision Note to section 4 of this title.
The provisions of section 111 of title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed., authorizing statistics relating to transportation by water, and express business, to mines, mining, quarries, and minerals, to savings banks and other savings institutions, mortgage, loan, and investment companies, and similar institutions, and to street railways, electric light and power, telephone, and telegraph business, were omitted as superseded and covered by sections 121–123 of such title (enacted in 1948), which are set out elsewhere in this title. See Distribution Table.
Section 111 of title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed., also authorized the decennial collection of statistics relating to the fishing industry "in cooperation with the Fish and Wildlife Service". In the basic statutory provision (see amendment by act June 7, 1906, ch. 3048, 34 Stat. 218, "Fish and Wildlife Service" read "Bureau of Fisheries" and it was changed, by the codifiers, in such section 111 to the former designation because of 1940 Reorganization Plan No. III, § 3,5 F.R. 2107, 54 Stat. 1232, which consolidated the Bureau of Fisheries and the Bureau of Biological Survey into one agency to be known as the "Fish and Wildlife Service". However, at the time of the enactment of the 1906 act, referred to above, both the Bureau of the Fisheries, and the Census Bureau (then referred to as the "Census Office"), were in the Department of Commerce. The Bureau of Fisheries was transferred to the Department of the Interior by 1939 Reorganization Plan No. II, § 4(e),4 F.R. 2731, 53 Stat. 1431, and it is within that department that the Fish and Wildlife Service now functions. Therefore, such provision in section 111 of title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed., has been omitted from this revised title as obsolete. In any event section 121 of title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed. (subchapter I of chapter 5 of this revised title) is broad enough to authorize such collection.

The story behind the girl that inspired Nothing Else Matters.
Like if he could read her thoughts sighed loudly inside her mouth, pulling her closer from her hips. He felt so bewitched with her loving eyes, and her smell... Feeling this urge to give in to her, to wash in her all the aches that torn him inside. Tenderly he tightened his grip on her and ran his hand from her hip caressing down in to the back of her leg, and parted her, positioning on top of her.
Lost in her feelings she was already panting in abandonment as she lightly caressed his bare chest with her fingers, sending shivers through his entire skin. He rolled her in his top and she rubbed her self on to him in desperation. He slowly removed her hair form her face, to look at her mesmerized face. She moaned as she bent to take his breath away with an imploring kiss. He went blank with the sole need to feel her so close, to touch her soul, to own her completely.
He lifted her hips, and she could feel his erection between her thighs, and pushed herself in to it, feeling it break inside of her.
She was so aroused and that like never in her life had she exploded in an orgasm at the first stab, but everything had been feeling like exploding inside. She began to move on top of him, driving him insane, but he wanted to take her too, so he rolled on the side and began to move with her, tightening his grip on her hips, licking and biting her jaw, stirred by her extasis. He needed more, so he rolled again, and braced over her, as he trusted harder in to her, he could see her body rocking under him, as she clanged desperately to his neck with her arms and embraced him tightly with her legs, moving in harmony with him, reaching the fusing state that blew their minds.
It could have been seconds, or hours for all they cared, they had just lost notion of the world, all they knew was that if there was a paradise somewhere, they were there, and they were together, clinging to each other in bliss.
He searched her mouth and ravished it with a husky groan, as he felt himself releasing inside of her, holding her so tight, he could have hurt her, if she wasn't so numb. Very slowly they came to a stop, still holding each other very close, fighting to even their breaths.
The mists of passion began to clear of her mind, but only one thought filled it, they've had good sex, wild sex, tender sex, dirty sex, but this... this was something else...
"Oh, my God! " She felt like fainting. "He just made music in me..."
Next morning she woke up alone to the weird smell of food. Contrary to what one would thought, she felt awful, every part of her body hurt, and a look in the mirror confirmed it, her eyes were so swollen and small. How she hated to cry! She washed her face with icy cold water, put on yesterday's dress and went out to find James cooking breakfast, or at least trying to.
"Mornin'!" He greeted her. He was wearing only a pair of jeans.
"Mhm" She groaned. How could he be so fresh already?
An open can of Coors in the kitchen bar gave her a hint.
"Whatever happened to orange juice for breakfast..." She said picking the can and placing it back again, as he turned from the stove and placed in a plate the ugliest eggs she'd ever seen.
"Uhm... happy to know I'm not the only person burning stuff around! " She smirked.
"Shut up!" He yelled, and she laughed.
"Keep laughing, for these are yours" He said with a wicked smile. She eyed the eggs with disgust and waved them away.
"Thank you, but no thank you, I love you a lot, but not enough to eat that".
He took a fork, cut a little piece and began to chase her with it.
"C'mon, baby, show me your love, eat my food!"
"Never!" She giggled and ran away.
He puppy eyed her. "Pleaseeee, do it for meee?" Putting the fork near her mouth.
"Go away!!" She ran again, for the power of the puppy eyes is too strong.
"Don't you love me?" He tried to look sad, but couldn't help an evil grin.
"You first!"
He raised a brow, and took the bite to show her, and then his proud smile changed in to a disgusted gesture.
She laughed out hard, and he came after to seize her. "Don't laugh, or you're having the rest!"
She clang to his neck, as his touch brought flashes of last's night's romantic encounter. "James... last night, oh my, felt like a piece of music!"
He held her close. "That was a ballad, just for you, baby..." He said smirking.
She gave him this flirty evil grin. "Power ballad?"
He frowned and spat. "Hell no! A Hetfield ballad!" Somehow the way he said it made her knees weak, but she responded: "Hey! I was in there too!!"
"I know... you were invited to jam..." He winked to her and ran his hands through her back finding out she had nothing but her dress on. "You naughty little one, you're wearing nothing under this dress?" His hand tried to sneak under her dress.
"Behave a minute, you sex maniac!" She said as she pulled from his grip.
Her face went stern. "I still have something to tell you. Don't think everything is alright between us just because I love you too much to dump your cheating cute delicious little ass."
His face got serious and he lowered his gaze.
"I need you to promise no more cheating, James, and I'm serious, I don't think I can't stand it."
He knew he had to make that promise, but knew deep in his heart he'd had no control over himself. He could be a lot of things, but had been always proud not to be a liar. Tried to pick his words very well.
His silence began to drive her insane. She rolled her eyes and began to scold him.
"Goddamnit, James..."
"I promise I won't be chasing any women!" For a moment he thought he was going to get his way this time, but she was smart to notice the trick in his sentence, as he saw her expression turn from a semi smile to a frown in one second. "Ok! I promise no more cheating on you!" He found himself barking that out, and suddenly noticed her expression wasn't of anger, but of urgent plea.
"Are you done bitching at me?" He snapped at her.
"Yes." She replied backing out.
"Good! Now go over that kitchen and cook me breakfast, woman!"
Burnt eggs flied over his head.

This Food Stock Still Looks Delicious
Mark is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
ConAgra Foods (NYSE: CAG) likes to say that it makes the food we all love. Well, fourth-quarter earnings blew away expectations, so that statement is looking to be correct. Its brands are thought to be in 97% of all American households. The company's portfolio of brands consists of Hunt's, Healthy Choice, Orville Redenbacher's, Peter Pan, Bertolli, Blue Bonnet, Slim Jim, and Chef Boyardee among others.
The original acquirer
ConAgra was one of the first food companies to grow via acquisition. Starting with the 1980 purchase of Banquet Foods, the company has gone on to assemble its food brands by buying brands from other food companies. Many consumer product firms went through leveraged buyouts and non-core assets were sold off. ConAgra was able to benefit by buying assets other firms didn't want. ConAgra continued its acquisition spree that just recently included the purchase of Ralcorp for $5 billion.
In the latest quarter, earnings grew 18% to $0.60 per share. Sales increased 34% to $4.6 billion, driven by the acquisition of Ralcorp. For the full year, earnings per share increased 18% to $2.16 per share.
The company raised its long-term forecast. ConAgra sees annual growth of 7% to 9% for earnings and 3% to 4% for sales. That is up from its prior growth targets of 6% to 8% for earnings and 3% for sales. In terms of the Ralcorp acquisition, the company raised its expected cost savings from $225 million to $300 million. By 2017, the company expects earnings per share to be $3.00 compared to $2.16 last year.
For investors, the stock is attractive and trades with a forward P/E of 12. The company pays an annual dividend of $1.00 per share for a yield of 2.90%. The dividend payout is 54%.
Growth over the next several quarters is likely to come from increased advertising spending and new products. Among the new products is Marie Callender's Easy Sides, a shelf-stable pasta side sold in microwaveable pouches. A short-term hit to earnings will come from the loss of a major customer in its Lamb Weston potato business. This will likely cut this year's earnings by $0.06-$0.07. Even though this is a negative item for the company, I think it has enough going for it with new products and synergies from the Ralcorp acquisition to make up for this loss.
The competition
The food products sector is extremely competitive and two of ConAgra's biggest competitors are Kraft Foods (NASDAQ: KRFT) and Nestle (NASDAQOTH: NSRGY). Both have very strong food brands and are aggressive in advertising and developing new products.
Kraft Foods is in practically every corner of the North American grocery store. Its products include Kraft, Crystal Light, Jell-O, Kool-Aid, Miracle Whip, Oscar Mayer, Planters, Maxwell House, and many other brands.
Even though Kraft is considered to be focused on the slower growth North American grocery business, the company is a very well-run one. The company has been focusing on stronger productivity gains and cost savings in its operations. The improvements showed in the company's first-quarter results where revenue grew 2.1% and operating income increased 9.2%.
Going forward, I see the company continuing its restructuring efforts and returning more cash to shareholders. The company has been steadily increasing its dividend and now pays $2 per share for a yield of 3.6%. To do so, Kraft Foods just announced that it's creating two new business units to manage its brands. One will be meal and desserts and the other will be enhancers and snacks. The goal is to allow each division to be run separately and develop new products, grow and reduce costs. The end result will be a much leaner Kraft Foods that can pay out more money to shareholders.
Nestle is a multinational food company with revenue of over $98 billion. Its products include baby food, bottled water, breakfast cereals, coffee, dairy products, frozen foods, ice cream, pet foods, and snacks.
The biggest argument some investors make about owning Nestle is that the company is, in fact, too large. That its ability to grow and deliver the returns of the past are going to be harder going forward. The problem I have with this is that the company has not shown any evidence of slowing down. Last year, the company had quarterly revenue growth of 12% and quarterly earnings growth of 14%.
Nestle also has the resources to continue investing in innovation. With over $10 billion in cash on its balance sheet, the company is looking to plow that back into research and development. Nestle just announced that it is spending $53 million on a new product technology center in Ohio. This will be the company's 12th such facility worldwide. It's initiatives like these that have made Nestle number one in the frozen foods market with its brands Stouffer's, Lean Cuisine, Hot Pockets, and Digiorno.
Foolish assessment
I really like the foods business and, in particular, ConAgra. The acquisition of Ralcorp is looking better and better for the company. The long-term outlook for the company is bright along with that of the other food companies in the market. In the end, people have to eat and the food business is the place to be.

Reviews For Common Interests
Let's say they just get to school and bump into the willow just like the book, and have snape flip out just like the book. And into the dungeons they go for a spanking! Well, that's what I really really want you to make happen!
Please do not abandon this story because it's the best Harry/Snape fanfic that I've read in my whole life (trust me, I've read a LOT)... and you need to make it happen! The spanking! The story! Everything! Snapegirl, please update fast fast fast! I'm gonna die of anticipation if you don't! And, you're such an awesome writer!!! Your words and vocabulary match so well together. :) I really need to read the rest of this story. And, don't tell anyone... you're better than JKR.

I'll be waiting for your awesome story... please don't make me wait more than a week!
Ok, rant's over with. I've loved how Skull gets a mate and children, that's just too cute! But they sure could've used his wisdom with that one! I'm cringing over the thought of Sev's 'displeasure'.

Dead Island: Riptide Review
Dead Island: Riptide might look like an idyllic zombie-fest, but it's little more than a frustrating mess of half-baked ideas and repetitive combat.
Dead Island: Riptide might look like an idyllic zombie-fest, but it's little more than a frustrating mess of half-baked ideas and repetitive combat.
The Knife of Dunwall changes protagonists with panache, delivering a compelling new chapter in the Dishonored saga.
Defiance is the B movie of massively multiplayer games: rickety and unrefined, yet a good time all the same.
Injustice provides a complex fighter with some unique twists, but is found wanting in features that have become commonplace in its contemporaries.
Guacamelee! is so full of personality and challenging gameplay that it's a shame it ever has to end.
Terraria is just as magical and content-rich on consoles as it is on the PC, although the controls aren't ideal for every situation.
What The Infamy promised, The Betrayal fails to deliver due to a glacial pace, repetitive missions, and an inconsistent new power.
The elements that made its predecessors interesting have been all but destroyed, making Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel a functional shooter but little more.
A trip back to golf's past moves Tiger Woods 14 into the future with some great new features, but the core game on the links holds pat.
BioShock Infinite is a stupendous game, portraying a beautiful and broken city that will absorb your every waking thought.
Satisfying stealth and shooting make Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 a notable improvement over its predecessor.
Tomb Raider is an exhilarating action adventure that serves as a terrific origin story for the iconic Lara Croft.
Loosened-up hitting and subtle refinements make MLB 13: The Show another spectacular baseball game.
MLB 2K13 is a complete and utter retread with all the appeal of used chewing gum.
Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 retains the series' impressive visuals and its accessible combat, but gets bogged down by its focus on storytelling.
The multiplayer's a bust, but God of War: Ascension's campaign is a gloriously bloody adventure filled with exhilarating combat.
Its attractive visuals make Crysis 3 a pleasure to look at, and the game is plenty of fun, though not up to the high standards of its forebears.
In an impressive show of style and technical brilliance, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance takes a turn for the brutal and rarely looks back.
Graceful controls and well-designed levels make Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time another satisfying entry in the series.
Dead Space 3 carries the series' standard admirably, thanks to deep weapon crafting and a wealth of exploratory possibilities.
The witty, beautiful, and endlessly creative Ni no Kuni is a treasure not to be missed.
With assured storytelling, great combat, and imaginative design, DmC: Devil May Cry is a fun reboot, despite some frame rate issues and audio bugs.
Black Knight Sword is a brutal platformer with old-school sensibilities that challenge your patience and capacity for the macabre.
Far Cry 3's intelligent and elegant open-world structure balances exciting action with the joys of free-form adventuring, making it one of the best shooters of the year.

OAKLAND The Raiders' game against the Cleveland Browns today is one their most hard-core fans can love.
With each team 3-8, the playoffs are a dream. The Raiders are reeling, having given up 169 points in their past four games, the last three of which were decided by early in the fourth quarter.
Cleveland is coming off a 20-14 win over Pittsburgh and had to fight to the finish despite getting eight takeaways. Unlike the Raiders, the Browns have hung tough in most of their losses.
The Raiders and Browns find themselves in the same place. Both organizations are in ownership transition, playing under a symbolic rain cloud that could well be a literal one in an O.co Coliseum quagmire.
The game is blacked out locally and will be seen by only a sliver of a national network audience.
For the Raiders, it's a chance to stop the skid before an intimate gathering of their most loyal fans.
"It's got to end this week against Cleveland," defensive tackle Tommy Kelly said. "We've got to try and get back on track. Everybody's got to dig down a little deeper, I guess."
The constant losses have the Raiders readjusting their sights weekly.
"We're looking at this thing as if we're zero and zero and we've got a five-game season," coach Dennis Allen said. "Let's go out and see what we can do in the next five games. I don't sense there's a black cloud hanging over (the players). I think they enjoy playing football. They're ready to get back out and play again."
Cleveland coach Pat Shurmur finds himself in the same situation as Hue Jackson with the Raiders last season. Jimmy Haslam officially became the Browns' owner in October, and team president Mike Holmgren was swept out in favor of Joe Banner.
More often than not, new management wants its own coach, as Jackson discovered when owner Mark Davis and general manager Reggie McKenzie decided on a new direction, with McKenzie deciding on Allen.
"I'm sure they are going to make some decisions here at the end of the season, but as coaches we don't worry about that," Shurmur said last week.
The Browns have lost 12 consecutive road games, beginning last season when the Raiders won 24-17 on Oct. 16 and Jason Campbell broke his collarbone. That led to a trade a few days later for Carson Palmer (9-3 against the Browns as a member of the Cincinnati Bengals).

Have you believed something - or the idea of something - and discovered you were mistaken, or wrong? What's your story & what did you learn?
Our world view often conjures up ideas or beliefs that seem to 'fit' within it. We often cluster beliefs with ideas or behaviors that 'sound' right to us. Every now and then, the ideas we hold are simply wrong, or at least need to be questioned. I'd like to hear examples of paradigm shifts that changed your world view or point of view. When have you been mistaken?
These experiences, or paradigm shifts, often surface through cultural beliefs, politics, in beliefs relating to sustainability and environmental preservation, or human behavior/relationships - but are certainly not limited to these.

Aug 29 2011: My Idea about reading
For a long time I thought that reading happens by starting from the first word right the way to the last word. Consciously understanding everything. Critiquing and questioning every sentence. Now I understand our mind more capable than that. It is not what on the paper that matter but what is happening in our head. You don't need to read every sentence to extract information from a written material. And learning happens on layers. You can't be expert right the way. To make this sustainable I question my ideas beliefs every day. Discuss with people, find out what the experts say ,Critically question your thoughts e.t.c.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Thank you for this, actually. I've always felt the hunter class was hugely split in terms of roleplay and I ended up convincing my friend's roleplay guild to accept hunters under the Naturalist title as well as the more military title (maybe it was Assassin?) I play my hunter as the mystic, a little bit of a hermit, with a great understanding of the push and pull of population growth but I know many who play them as armsmen, as soldiers. Its such a fun class to roleplay because of that divide, really. Every hunter you meet will take his class differently, and that might explain why a lot of people have such different ideas of what the class should do in combat as well.

The Blood Line Preview
Russell T Davies is back on writing duties with the Torchwood: Miracle Day finale, The Blood Line, which airs in the UK on Thursday evening at 9 pm on BBC One.
With Jack and Gwen in Shanghai – with Oswald Danes in tow – and Esther and Rex at the exact opposite side of the planet in Buenos Aires, you can expect references to more new age conspiracies throughout the episode as our at-times inept heroes attempt to undo the Miracle and prevent civilization from falling further into the abyss.
The BBC offers just this solitary synopsis of the episode:
The Torchwood team travels across the world on a final, desperate mission – but the Three Families are unstoppable, unless a terrible sacrifice is made…
We can tell you that the episode gives as much as the entire series has so far in terms of dialogue, action, intrigue and most importantly, drama. As teases go, it isn't much, but we really don't want to spoil it for you. The series has been working up to this episode, and when all is said and done, the The Blood Line delivers in the end.
Okay, UK viewers: if you have been avoiding spoilers from the US fans and downloaders, coming next is the trailer for the Torchwood: Miracle Day finale:
Thanks to the BBC we've got a small selection of images showing Jack and Gwen in varous states of distress:
As conspiracies go, they don't get much bigger than this… don't miss the explosive finale!
One Response to The Blood Line Preview
Good episode, shame about the series. Did RTD write all of CofE? He certainly directed/guided the writing a lot more than for Miracle Day. Blooming committees in dramas only work when you haven't got someone like RTD to show up most of the others. That said, the idea of the blood-controlling entity was rather a bit of a odd one that maybe was a bit difficult for others to write within. Still don't have any idea why they had the camp storyline featuring for so long and the awfully wooden character. Shame they're always killing off the Doctors on Torchwood, Vera could have been a great character. All in all an ok, but not incredible series. But then it was following after a very, very good series.

I'm Kimberly, I'm eighteen. I'm in love with my boyfriend♥
"Iv lost the person I loved the most. Everything I knew or had known was just gone in a blink of an eye. Knowing that the past can never be erased, and the memories that stay in my mind will haunt me until my dying day. He was my everything, my hero, but he never came that day. The day I thought he would sweep me off my feet, He pushed me on the ground and stomped on my heart. Breaking it in two."
(via t0daysfeelings)
S M E: I will think about you for the rest of my life... You know that, right?
I will think about you for the rest of my life… You know that, right? It may not be every day, but you'll definitely cross my mind many times. I guarantee the most vivid moment will be on my death bed, and I'll think of how different my life would have been with you… How different yours would have…
It's always me that gets left behind and forgotten. You promised forever, well that was fucking over quick.
If this is how my life is going to be from now on, I dont want to be here for it

In an informal session you'll learn the tile decorating technique known as 'tube lining' or 'slip-trailing', and by the end of the experience you'll have produced a 6 x 6 inch tile featuring your very own design in a range of beautiful colours. The price is £7.95 per tile plus admission (P&P is extra).
Workshops run from 10am. It takes up to 1 hour and 30 minutes to decorate your tile so last admission to the workshops is at 3.15pm.
