Menu Updates
Some more changes to the game! While Ken's art is amazing, we felt that it wasn't really what we wanted for our opening menu.
Behold our new menu! It's still a bit in its early stages however we feel that this new 3D menu fits better with the aesthetic of Hart's Hollow. We decided to go in this art direction since we want to invoke the feel of a summer camp. So lots of worn, wooden, off kilter signs. The burning torch and swaying Hart's Hollow sign, while a small touch, add a more life to the scene and make things a bit more visually interesting for the player.

Israel's Defense Minister Ehud Barak delivers a speech to the Foreign Press Association members in Jerusalem, Monday, April 30, 2012. (AP Photo/Ariel Schalit)
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel's defense minister, in an apparent allusion to Syria, says that no country in the world would "dare" to attack the Jewish state with chemical weapons.
Ehud Barak told Israel Radio on Monday that he's so sure that an attack won't happen that he's willing to turn in his government-issued gas mask.
Last week, Syria threatened to unleash chemical and biological weapons if it faces a foreign attack — a threat widely believed to have been directed at Israel.
Israeli leaders, including Barak, have indicated they would attack Syrian arms depots to keep anti-Israel militants from getting their hands on chemical weapons should the Syrian regime collapse.

I made this buttercream to go on lemon cupcakes and it was absolutely perfect. I did modify the recipe a bit though. Rather than using all the vanilla, I used 3/4 tsp vanilla and 1/4 tsp lemon extract. I didn't use quite as much powdered sugar as mentioned and also added a few blackberries right before I frosted the cupcakes to have larger chunks in the frosting.

It has been an interesting start to the season for the Chicago Blackhawks, who have seen five of their first ten games head to extra time, four of which needed a shootout as well. Game one showed the Blackhawks offensive firepower in a 6-4 win over Washington. Likewise, game ten topped the goal total in the opener, as the Blackhawks fell 6-5 to Tampa Bay in overtime. Fans also got a special treat when Dave Bolland, who scored the Blackhawks Stanley Cup clinching goal last season, returned for the first time to the United Center. A fan favorite while with Chicago, Bolland received a warm welcome from the Blackhawk faithful and took part in the ceremonial puck drop. The annual mothers trip was successful again, as the Hawks tallied three points out of a possible four against Florida and Tampa Bay. Here's the ten-game report for the Chicago Blackhawks.
The Good
Hey, the Hawks have gotten points in 9 of 10 games and the one loss came in the final seconds of the third period against St. Louis. Maybe it doesn't live up to Chicago's historic start last season, but fans cannot complain about the way this season has gone so far. At 2.7 goals per game, the Hawks are around the middle of the pack in scoring, but have shown their true capabilities at times. On the defensive side, Corey Crawford has been all that coach Joel Quenneville can ask he be. With a 5-1-2 record and a GAA of 2.04, Crawford has been among the best in the NHL thus far. Quenneville has made strides with finding out which guys work well together and has been very successful with in-game line changes.
The Bad
On the other hand, the Blackhawks have been outright horrendous in the third period. Being outscored 12-5 in the third period is just not going to get the job done come playoff time. While the power play has been decent at 21.0%, the penalty kill has been atrocious. Thursday's two for four performance on the PK did not help either. For the season, Chicago is just a shade over 70% on the kill. This is a dramatic shift from last year for the Blackhawks, who's power play was a pedestrian 16.6% and a penalty kill which was ranked third in league at 87.2%.
The Outlook
As long as the Hawks are able to stay healthy, they will stay near the top of the Central Division and Western Conference. However, that could be an issue. The injury bug has already bitten the likes of prominent players such as Cam Ward (lower-body), Pekka Rinne (hip), and Taylor Hall (knee) around the NHL. For the Blackhawks, rookie Mike Kostka will be sidelined for 4-6 weeks with a lower-body injury suffered during practice Tuesday. The 6-foot-1 defenseman had the game-winning goal in a 3-1 victory over Toronto early this season.

7 nasty credit myths that won't die
Myth No. 5: "You should never close an account if you can help it."
Fact: The prevailing myth used to be that closing accounts could help your scores, which, we've learned, isn't true. But the knowledge that shutting accounts can hurt your scores has caused some people to balk at closing credit accounts, even when they probably should.
If your issuer is charging you a fee you don't want to pay, for example, closing a card or two shouldn't be a crisis if you have good scores, other open accounts and no plans to apply for credit in the immediate future. If you do plan to apply for a mortgage, car loan or new credit card, though, you should hold off on closing any accounts until after you've been approved.
Myth No. 6: "How you handle credit indicates how trustworthy you are."
Fact: People get in financial trouble for all kinds of reasons, including simply getting sick (medical bills were a factor in nearly two-thirds of consumer bankruptcies in 2007, according to Harvard University researchers).
There's no evidence of a link between information on credit reports and the likelihood an employee will commit fraud, but employers persist in thinking there is. (By the way, employers typically use credit reports to evaluate applicants, not credit scores.)
Furthermore, there is evidence that employers are abusing their power to review credit reports Some states have already banned or limited pre-employment credit checks, and a bill was introduced in 2009-2010 session of Congress to do the same, although the legislation didn't go anywhere.
Myth No. 7: "All credit scores are pretty much the same."
Fact: There are hundreds of different credit scoring formulas. Even the scoring formula used by most lenders, the FICO, comes in different iterations. One lender may use the most up-to-date formula while another might use an older version that gives a different result. There are FICOs tweaked to accommodate car lenders, credit card lenders and finance companies, in addition to the "classic" FICO used by most mortgage lenders.
Some purveyors of other scoring formulas point to these different versions to try to convince people that it doesn't matter which score you get, since there are so many variations. Indeed, if you're simply looking for a guidepost as you try to shore up your finances, any of them can give you an idea of your credit's relative strength.
But if there's real money at stake, you want to get a score that's at least in the same ballpark as the one your lender will be using, and that's typically a FICO. If you're buying a credit score that doesn't say it's a FICO, it's not a FICO -- and it could be dozens or even hundreds of points different from the one your lender sees.

Funny just a few weeks ago I read an article right here on this web page that contradicts a few "myths" this article tells you. I look at it this way: I will NOT be kept on the hamster wheel. I got off paid off my credit cards & will NEVER have them again. I now have over $10,000 in my savings account. WOW! And to think all this $$ was going to credit cards & interest!
As far as buying a house or car huge down payments talk everything else walks.
I have to agree with Shalyse.
Since the average consumer has little protection against credit card companies and our own credit scores,,I believe the best way to stay out of financial trouble is to try to AVOID using credit when possible. Some parts of this article may be true but not ALL. I remember years ago one attorney told me "Credit card companies represents America's biggest scam"
Its so unfortunate that good credit is required for so many applications that shouldn't be,,,like jobs and apartment dwelling. Our entire credit system needs an overhaul
I'm dept free and already have all the "Stuff" I need.
Cash is my friend.
What others think be damned.
I was told I should utilize my credit cards more to build credit...but....so far I have had no trouble getting by.
I travel for fun which is pretty much the only time I use them and life is good.
I invision evil little trolls in a dark cavern, somewhere, just cursing my ability to function outside of the credit system.
It makes me smile.
Think about it, credit scores are only important to the lender or the people attempting to get the lender to lend to them.
Those scores are little more than a rating of what you have done credit wise.
It is not a reflection of your worth, you could have had NO REASON to borrow, in which case your score would have been lower than someone who did borrow and paid back late or never, probably a "0"!
You may have been TOO QUICK at paying back, (nothing less than a two year period is any score at all)!
The score is only important......................IF YOU WANT OR NEED TO BORROW.............OR, MORE IMPORTANTLY...............DO NOT HAVE ANY COLATERAL (AN OLD AND SELDOM USED TERM SINCE THE MODERN CREDIT DAYS OF "NOTHING DOWN, FOREVER TO PAY")!
It took me almost a month to get a loan on my present house because I always paid debt off ASAP..................YET THE 30YR MORTGAGE ON THIS HOUSE WAS PAID OFF IN 3YR, 3MOS, so tell me............how well does the score represent what the lender needs?
In this case, very well, ..............because they didn't want to make a small interest return that came from early retirement of the loan, but due to law were still forced to do the loan.
Thier (the lenders) job is to make (or get my money) and my job is to attempt to keep my money............and I give a crap about any credit score until, or more clearly..........IF, I ever HAVE to borrow again!
For instance, on Experian and TransUnion my score is 730 and I am deemed "very low risk"; however, on Equifax I am 655 and deemed "medium risk". Same info on all 3. Sadly, Equifax is the Bureau most credit companies check.
I was recently turned down for a Bestbuy Card despite good income because they check Equifax. The odd thing is that their online response came back within a second of submission. Hard to imagine how it could have been checked that quickly considering that Bestbuy claims to look at much more than just the score.
My experience is that unless you already have credit cards, you can't get a credit card. I have also heard that Equifax scores this aspect very highly and the reason why their score is so much lower than everyone elses.
Face it, the banks are in league with the credit bureaus. The are holding your credit hostage until you agree to use their wildly overpriced credit cards. I only wanted to apply for the Bestbuy card because they give you 18 months interest free if you pay off the balance, not a bad deal.
Why is that? It seems utilities and cell phone companies only report if you DON'T pay but not if you are a great customer.
you see my point, I was checked by ATT 2 times and passed, I am afraid now that all of these credit checks will effect my score and maybe the third time they will check I wont be approved?
No one seems to know what is going on as Equifax swears there is no block but the credit card company swears there is. Apparently since no one has any idea why this is happening there is nothing I can do about it.
It should be a crime to charge higher interest to those with lesser credit ratings or credit scores.
Higher interest rate does not reduce the risk.
The risk of lending money (or credit) remains the same whether the interest rate is 1% or 1000%. This is just a ploy to squeeze money out of those; who are young, who would prefer to use money, who made poor choices, or who are victims of circumstances, beyond their control.
I say, use cash and let them steal someone else's money.

Another child pornography debate is surrounding Miley Cyrus, and yes, again, Perez Hilton is spreading the flesh.
As Miley performed at the MuchMusic Awards on Sunday, she wore a very high-cut leotard that scootched while in action, revealing an area that could be defined as pubic.
As a result, many websites have chosen to censor the photo, but Perez tweeted it out there for all to see.
Reuters did not censor the photo but due to the hubbub of Perez's revealing Miley crotch shot last week, many blogs aren't showing the sensitive lady area of the 17-year-old star. Since Miley was performing in public, the revealing photo would not meet the definition of child pornography, according to a prosecutor speaking out on Fox News.
I would tend to agree that you cannot call it child pornography; however, I do wonder (again) about Miley's judgment. You can wear tights under that outfit, ya know. While you don't see the whole megillah, you do see enough to know that Miley waxes, or uses Coochy Cream -- whichever.
Do you think Perez should leave Miley's crotch alone?
Perez is crazy for posting that pic after everything, but this time, I have to say that I really don't feel that sorry for Miley. she should have learned her lesson.
I saw the pic on another website and it literally had a black box over her hips and crotch.
I think it's as much her fault for wearing that sort of outfit anyway.
Is it just me, or did the skin that was supposed to be her hoo-hoo look a little bulged? It was like right on top of her leg like. It didn't look normal.
Why is this a big shock? We all knew from day 1 that she was headed this way. And then this website: www.steadyshare.com/cyrus_uncovered/ pops up showing a hacked cellphone picture she sexted to Liam her boyfriend. It's just so saddening to see her making such bad decisions....

repair all new and used Toyota models.
If your vehicle is equipped with a timing belt and is a 1999 model year or newer, you should replace it every 90,000 miles or six years, whichever comes first.
We recommend that all other Toyota vehicles equipped with a timing belt may find it more cost effective to replace the timing belt at 60,000-mile intervals or four years, whichever comes first. Because the cost involved with inspecting the timing belt may be similar to those having it replaced. Thereafter replace as necessary every 15,000 miles.
Toyota Genuine Long Life Antifreeze coolant (factory red fluid) was developed to meet the specific requirements of Toyota engines. The majority of other antifreeze coolants include a main ingrediant called silicates which can actually damage the water pump seal, causing leakage.

Batteries manufactured to Toyota's exact standards are TrueStart and True-2 batteries. Why your battery should be a genuine Toyota replacement:
Toyota's brake systems are designed with manufactured materials to maintain dynamics. For smooth and efficient operation genuine Toyota brake pad backing plates are precision machined to allow brake pads to move freely within the calipers. Other pads may compromise the braking system performance, leading to accerlerated rotor wear, excessive noise, vibration and pulsation.

Don't Ask, Don't Ask
Artists, particularly in theater, are still plagued by the slur "Gay Commie Jew." But how did it come about?
Yet it would be difficult to claim that the "Jewish Homintern" of the 1950s constituted an aesthetic school. Lincoln Kirstein distinguished himself as a backstage figure producing the talents of others: Notably, he brought Russian-born, and thoroughly heterosexual, George Balanchine to America in the early 1930s to form a ballet school and, eventually, to establish what became in 1948 the New York City Ballet. Kirstein poured substantial family money—from his father's position and investments in Boston's Filene's Department Store—into keeping these enterprises going. This allowed "Mister B" to create a modern classical dance rooted in the Russian aristocratic milieu anathema to Bolshevism—and impossible to peg as left-wing. On the other hand, ballet was easily framed as "queer" given its audience and the assumption that only men of "Greek" tastes would wear tights that revealed the crack in their ass and the bulge at their crotch.
Kirstein also had a hand in literature; he and fellow Harvard student Varian Fry founded the noteworthy avant-garde literary magazine Hound and Horn. Throughout his life, Kirstein wrote on cultural issues and was deeply committed to the visual arts. He initiated, along with Eddie Warburg, his one Jewish friend at Cambridge, the Harvard Society for Contemporary Art, a seedbed for New York's Museum of Modern Art; Kirstein joined MoMA'S Junior Advisory Board in 1930. When he was young, his friends were often from the non-Jewish Boston elite; his father once worried that he would forget he was a "Jew boy"—odd, since his parents sent him to a YMCA-run school when he didn't get into prestigious Boston Latin. All the same, his parents, according to Kirstein, "maintained a shy superstition that no Gentile could ever be a 'real' friend to a Jew." For himself, Kirstein flirted with becoming a Roman Catholic with perhaps more conviction than he ever had in the 1930s for becoming a Communist. He stood apart from either formal affiliation; culture was his religion.
The other men on this list created work in different genres, allowing for projects produced in cooperation. Robbins was a superb dancer who would become a Broadway and ballet choreographer—eventually with the Balanchine/Kirstein company. Among his first triumphs, the World War II-era romp Fancy Free, produced for Lucia Chase's Ballet Theater, was about three randy sailors seeking female companionship while on shore leave in New York City, a subject as far from the elitist European model as could be imagined. The young Leonard Bernstein supplied the ballet's music with motifs for current social dances like boogie-woogie and the lindy hop. Just a year before in 1943, Bernstein had taken the podium to fill in for the ailing maestro Bruno Walter on a nationally broadcast concert from Carnegie Hall. He conducted such high-toned musical fare as Schumann's Manfred overture and—cut for broadcast time—Wagner's Meistersinger prelude. It was a sensational debut for the 25-year-old, not least because of his youth and, atypical for concert hall conductors of that time, the fact that he was American-born—and incidentally Jewish. The press, alerted beforehand (shades of All About Eve), went wild with praise.
Bernstein had early on established a father-son relationship with the émigré Russian conductor Serge Koussevitzky, musical director of the Boston Symphony, a Jew who had been baptized in order to further his studies in Moscow. But Bernstein was also mentored by two members of the mythical Homintern. He was first introduced to the older, established composer Aaron Copland on a trip to New York City in 1937 while still a Harvard undergraduate. Copland, a Brooklyn Jew from the Irish section of what is now Crown Heights, "rendered musically vivid an America of prairie cowboys and pioneer newlyweds" and became another father-figure to the brash Harvard boy who played Copland's Piano Variations at the soignée party in his apartment to which he invited the youth.
One Bernstein biographer, Humphrey Burton, sees fit to remark of their amity: "Nobody can say for certain whether they were lovers"—putting into our heads an idea that we might not have otherwise assumed. With greater persuasion, he adds: "Copland certainly recognized a kindred spirit in Bernstein from the tremendous conviction with which he performed the Piano Variations at their first meeting. For the next six years they would see each other frequently and write to each other regularly." Copland's desire to "speak directly to the American public" in his music produced work some sneer at for being popular and/or provincial. For example, he scored films. An early piano trio, Vitebsk (Study on a Jewish Theme), was inspired by a melody heard in a 1925 production of S. Ansky's play The Dybbuk. But who would label as "un-American" the author of such an iconic American piece of music as Fanfare for the Common Man?
Even so, Copland's name was published in Red Channels, whose list of 151 artists with alleged Communist affiliations became a right-wing bible; he was also targeted by McCarthy to submit in-person testimony about his past political affiliations. Ultimately Copland's reputation remained intact, and he was never formally blacklisted, yet a performance of his Lincoln Portrait at Eisenhower's 1953 inauguration was canceled, as was at least one university lecture, and he had difficulty securing a passport into 1954.
The young composer Marc Blitzstein was another of Bernstein's early mentors. Married but gay, and from well-to-do Philadelphia Jews, Blitzstein heard Bernstein conduct on piano a performance of Blitzstein's own The Cradle Will Rock, the legendary Depression-era musical, directed by Orson Welles, about a fight over workers forming a union. Shortly after seeing the landmark show in 1938, the Cambridge student had the chutzpah to invite Blitzstein to his Harvard version, which was to be the last musical event of his undergraduate life; he even met Blitzstein's plane at the airport. During the visit, they "compared notes about their education and upbringings, and realized just how many parallels there were. Both came from well-to-do backgrounds. Blitzstein's father—also named Sam and also Russian-Jewish—had been a Philadelphia banker before the crash of 1929." For public consumption, Bernstein would downplay his comfortable upbringing; Samuel Bernstein was a more successful businessman than his son admitted. The musical wunderkind preferred to appear to have escaped a background of modest means.

| Traveling by Bus.
The X5 (Oxford-Cambridge service) goes
from the Gloucester Green Bus Station (bay 12) and will stop at the
Skimmingdish Lane - Buckingham Road roundabout; right outside the
airfield! Ask the driver for the 'Caversfield' Stop. The service is
generally very quick and runs 7 days a week, every 30 minutes, including
Sunday's and Bank Holidays. See the X5
time table (pdf).
| Traveling by Rail.
Bicester is served by two railway stations; Bicester North (Chiltern
London and Birmingham) and Bicester Town (Chiltern
Railways Oxford - Bicester line). The nearest station to the airfield
is Bicester North and is about a 15 minute walk to the airfield. Bicester
Town however, has a direct railway line from Oxford, is a journey
of about 25 minutes but is about 2 miles from the airfield. The service
has improved recently with more trains running between Oxford and
Bicester, with the off-peak service (after 9.am) only costing £2.50
return! Both stations are served by taxis or local buses.
Traveling by Road.
From Oxford, go via the Banbury road towards Kidlington and take the A34 north-east to Bicester. At Bicester continue straight on following sign posts to Buckingham. The airfield is on the outskirts of Bicester as you leave the town towards Buckingham. See the map for more information.
From the North or the South: Take the (M40 or A34) to Junction 9 of the M40. Take the A41 north-east to Bicester, approximately 3 miles. Stay on the main road through the town and keep going straight on. You will pass a fire station, a police station magistrates court and sports centre all on your left, and you will eventually pass through a set of traffic lights. After the lights you approach a mini roundabout, take the second exit, Buckingham Road, to Buckingham. After one mile there is another roundabout with signposts pointing straight on for Buckingham (A4421) or a right turn to Aylesbury (also A4421).. Turn right onto the A4421 towards Aylesbury. The airfield entrance is one hundred yards on the left.
From the East (A41 from Aylesbury) at the first roundabout by the Army storage depot, take the third exit onto the Bicester by-pass towards Buckingham (A4421). Stay on this road, across 2 more roundabouts, you will pass some large storage warehouses on the left and cross a railway crossing. Then at the next roundabout turn left. Then at another roundabout turn right onto Skimmingdish Lane (A4421) towards Buckingham. Half a mile along this road the airfield is on the right. You will see the airfield and the hangars before you reach the entrance gate on your right.
From the North East (A4421/ A421 from Buckingham, Milton Keynes, Northampton) head towards Bicester. The first appearance of the airfield will be of the old hangars on the left and airfield itself just before a roundabout. As you approach the roundabout, the old RAF base entrance will appear on the left. Ignore this! At the roundabout, turn left onto Skimmingdish Lane towards Aylesbury (still the A4421) and one hundred yards upon the left is Bicester airfield entrance.

Airplane Window at Uncommon Goods
From the department of "I Can't Believe You Can Actually Buy That" comes this unlikely offering from Uncommon Goods: a Boeing 707 airplane window, retired from service to Pan Am airlines. And before you scoff at the limited application of such a piece in one's home, may we remind you of this house tour, after the jump...
We'd also love to see this singular salvage used as an actual window, or perhaps a room divider.
5 Comments
Uncommon Goods does some really cool stuff, to bad I can't afford any of it! I think my favorite is the US map made from state license plates.
I just sent this to a co-worker - This would be great hung on a track and used as a sliding door...
It's not big enough for a room divider--not at 20" by 30". I was disappointed--I thought it would be much bigger, esp. for $1500.
...then I guess he's going to have to road-trip to the Airplane Graveyard and get his own chunk of an old 747.
Frankly, a detached piece of fusilage kind of creeps me out. These homeowners are obviously braver than I am. But airplane design is really neat in a home setting. I'd love to see built-ins based on that aesthetic.

Washoe County Commissioners held a meeting with school officials Tuesday night to talk about the future of the school district.
Assembly Bill 46 would create funding for school repairs and maintenance for years to come. The bill was passed by Governor Sandoval at the 2013 legislature.
However, the county commissioners still need to approve a funding plan.
If AB 46 is approved by the county commissioners, it would increase sales tax by a quarter of a percent, and property tax by five cents per 100 dollars of assessed value.
That would raise $20 million annually for repairs. The School District Board of Trustees told us it's the right thing to do.
"Twenty million dollars a year can keep us on par year after year, in making sure that we meet the most critical needs during that school year," says Barbara Clark.
Maintenance would be done on all Washoe County schools. Everything from new toilets, roofing, signs and carpeting.
Superintendent Pedro Martinez says the county commissioners understandably still have a lot of questions and concerns. And he admits, raising taxes in Nevada is never easy.
"Even though we've had a lot of questions about our capital program and about this bill, nobody at this point has denied that there's a need," he says.
Parents at the meeting told us those needs have to be filled. They say education should continue to be our number one priority moving forward.
"Education is so important," says Janna Secord. "There's so many kids around that don't get what they need."
Tuesday's meeting was just the first of many to come. The county commissioners don't' have to approve this bill until the end of the calendar year and we will be here to keep you updated on the process.

The community thinks...
Looks can be deceiving by Kelly, Philly, PA on 02/24/2012. Trim: 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe LT3 4WD, Owned 4 years.
Pros: I owned a trailblazer, thought it was cute, but a little girlie, haha, so after four years I thought I needed to size up, add a third row and the cabin space of a mini Winnebago. When I saw the new 'Hoe, I liked the vehicle from the moment I laid eyes on it in 2007, new body, new handling, not as clunky as it's predecessor, so overall I was pleased. Gas mileage was pretty good for a full-sized "military duck-boat" as my friends and family referred to it.
Cons: I was soooooo disappointed to find that my Chevy was giving me so many issues, from the time the car turned a year old, it just started acting up. I was told it was my "throttle body" and that it "needed cleaning, then it needed to be replaced, then it was this and then it was that, oh, and the other thing, purchase gas cleaner and only put in premium gas, the sludge will do that to your throttle body". Fourth time that this issue happened I started to research a different brand, different vehicle all together, talk about disappointed. I even started to research the local Lemon Law guidelines - it was that bad.
Overall review: It seems like it could be a great vehicle, when it runs effectively. Great in snow, could pull whatever you hitch it to, but it was the issues under the hood that made me regret getting this vehicle.

We need to learn respect
I dislike it when I hear comments like THAT IS A DUMB question! Are we so arrogant that we think we are soooooooooooo superior to other people?
I need to remind these superior people that we all have strong points and weak points!
My mum always told me ask questions!!!
How many of us have witnessed people who have not asked dumb questions for fear of embarrassing themselves?
Golly I have asked many dumb questions, but then I have not made many STUPID mistakes )))
We do not have to agree with others, BUT this is our opportunity to ask why. and either teach or learn.
No matter what our judgement of people we owe everyone the respect of listening to them!
If we choose to not listen then one day we will miss a real gem!
EVEN the least gifted people will come up with a real winner, but if we are so ignorant and arrogant that we choose to not waste our PRECIOUS time listening and helping then WE ARE THE LOOSER... AND we miss out on the nice feeling we get when we help others. I could carry on here by bragging about all my numbers, BUT things like that IMPRESS nobody....
When we GIVE our time to help others we are the real winners... not the people we have helped! Sooooooooooooo PLEASE refrain from negative attitudes............. BE GRATEFUL that you are able to help. IF you can't think of anything nice to say... SAY NOTHING!
I love for people to prove me wrong... that means I have learned something, and that is very good)
To quote JFK think not what is in it for me, but what can I do to help).. OK it is your turn now)))
Closing Statement from Rod Spurr
well personally I do no label questions dumb... I used this expression to express the perception of many people... I totally agree with you..if you read between the lines you will realize that is what I was saying... maybe people need to remember that when we belittle others we are actually putting ourselves down ))) THERE ARE NO DUMB QUESTIONS... THERE ARE ONLY DUMB REACTIONS BY PEOPLE WHO RESPOND BY SAYING "THAT IS A DUMB QUESTION"
One of my favourite people in history Eleanore Roosevelt always said "if you cannot think of anything nice to say, say nothing" ))) I think it the duty of those who show more wisdom to respond to these people who delight in rubbishing others by saying that is unfair, and ask why do you say that?
Asking questions is how we clarify in our minds what the truth or intent of information we have been presented with. Asking questions is the ultimate way we can learn))) If others have a problem with our question then it is their problem not our problem....

Ectopic Pregnancy Symptoms
Ectopic pregnancy is not a normal pregnancy, the sperms reach the egg in the fallopian tube, where fertilization occurs, and then, this fertilized egg travels on to reach the uterus and implants itself there to complete the gestation period. The fertilized egg fails to reach the uterus for the gestation perio 00004000 d and instead implant itself anywhere outside uterus, like cervix, fallopian tube, abdominal cavity. In general, the fertilized egg implants itself in the fallopian tube.
Ectopic pregnancy is usually diagnosed around six weeks of pregnancy. Your spouse should consult her obstetrician if she has any of the following symptoms:
Pain or tenderness in the abdomen or pelvis, especially while coughing or moving bowels, and which may become more severe or chronic with time
Shoulder pain, especially while lying down
Lower abdominal pain, which increases over a period of time, accompanied by lower back pain
Shoulder pain, which occurs, as the fetus draws blood for its growth, hampers the functions of diaphragm.

A hookah lounge, café or bar is a place where people gather to smoke flavored tobacco (known as shisha) out of a water pipe, enjoy some Middle Eastern or Mediterranean teas, cuisine and the occasional live entertainment in the form of belly dancing or traditional music. Originally an Indian tradition, the practice of smoking hookah later spread to the Middle East in the form of coffee houses.Hookah lounges have only existed in the United States since the beginning of the 21st century, but they're becoming increasing popular among the nightlife crowd, especially in college towns. They offer a sense of story-telling, camaraderie and relaxation not found in traditional bars or pubs. When you visit one of these local hookah bars, you can walk in knowing you have chosen one of the cleanest, most affordable and welcoming environments in Orange County.
Mirage Hookah Lounge & Grill
6041 Bolsa Ave. Ste 9
Huntington Beach, CA 92647
(714) 892-3200
Topping many shisha enthusiasts' lists for "best hookah bar" is Mirage, and for plenty of good reasons. Nearly two dozen different flavors are available for your choosing, all of which cost under $15. The place has a cool nightclub vibe and even sports some funky laser disco balls for when the music gets pumping and the smoke is rising. Sip on some turkish coffee or freshly made mango juice or nosh on a bowl of hummus. If you're really hungry, go for the Arabic platter––mortadela, hummus, labneh, veggies and olives complete with a tea pot for $20. Don't be shy to ask for peanuts––they're free!
Fusion Ultra Lounge
512 S Brookhurst St.
Anaheim, CA 92804
(714) 520-5661
This 2,500 square-foot modern hookah bar has been redesigned for sharing and caring. The open seating fits Fusion Ultra Lounge's "family room" mentality, offering plenty of space. But step into the VIP area to enjoy the comfort of the bar's custom sofas and dazzling mirrored tables.

Caspian Hookah Lounge
14100 Culver Drive
Irvine, CA 92604
(949) 651-8454
While the Caspian Resturant offers more than just hookah , its apple bowl hookahs show off the establishemnet's dedication to quality. This place does not cater to the hipster hookah crowd, those just looking for something to smoke while picking up chicks or dudes. Instead, the traditional, yet elaborate vibe gives the older crowd something to enjoy. In addition to the smoke, belly dancers can often come by and spice up your evening.

Say "It's a coming-of-age story" and any listener will probably imagine a young person (a Frodo, a Jane Eyre, a Stephen Daedalus) and picture the setbacks and victories they encounter on the more or less sure-footed route to maturity. They navigate the pitfalls of childhood and adolescence, survive education and family and social environment — learning and growing all the while. And then they're ready, at the grand old age of 19 or 21, to tackle adult challenges with the proper set of equipment.
But what if 21 passes, and 42 too, and the creased former youth has only discovered romances that fizzled out, family members to battle with or resent, and careers that fit poorly? Who has potential that's never quite realized? Has this character merely come-of age as a failure? Or can "late bloomer" apply here? After all, is there any law of nature that dictates that maturity must occur by a highly specific sell-by date?
To help answer these questions, consider Cyril Andrachuk's hard-luck story.
When the affable but unblessed hero of Grant Buday's The Delusionist asks Connie Chow, a crush he's just sketched in high school art class, to Psycho (the "weird and horrific" Hitchcock original, that is, not the Gus Van Sant remake), he's delirious with excitement that this unorthodox and talented classmate and out-of-his-league girl has agreed to a date with lowly him. Maybe she'd glimpsed the thoughtful soul beneath the shy exterior? But while Connie looks old enough to sneak into the R-rated film (and so does, of course), Cyril's held back and misses the cause célèbre. A few weeks later, Connie skips town altogether without so much as a note. She's turned talk of leaving backwater Vancouver for the glamorous studios of Tinseltown into a reality. Flummoxed and deflated, Cyril doesn't follow. From then on, fortune doesn't smile much upon him. In his nimble but wide-spanning 10th book, Mayne Islander Buday (Dragonflies, White Lung) captures scenes and moments from a stalled life that drifts and lurches, portraying whole decades in which happiness, contentment, and direction are fleeting or denied altogether. Over the novel's four parts — set in '62, '72, '82, and '95 — Buday presents Cyril's unsteady quest for, well, his best true self.
Our sympathies triggered by this classic underdog, we only hope he gets there.
But between family (a gloomy immigrant mother who brought terrors and miseries from her Stalinist homeland that continue to haunt the family and a frail cold-hearted brother who resents his younger sibling), a scheming and untrustworthy best friend, a long series of unfulfilling jobs (including house painter and taxi driver), and careless choices that take him further from his artist core while also landing him in legal trouble, Cyril's prospects are anything but promising.
As relayed by Buday, Cyril's deep-seated and family related insecurities and remarkable run of bad luck effectively hamper his personal growth. Yet despite those sobering circumstances, Buday injects welcome moments of humour and levity (such as a road trip that has Cyril and his buddy seeking drugs in psychedelic-era San Francisco and coming up empty-handed).
He also gives a picturesque tour through Vancouver's changing face.
Although Connie's occasional appearances as her acting career steadily erodes introduce a small problem (insofar as she's a natural scene stealer since both her character and trajectory are more sensational than Cyril's), Buday has crafted a fascinating portrait of the artist as a middle-aged man.
Subtle and elegant, his account of one's man's stumble-filled movement toward his fate commands attention and gives readers new ways to comprehend the process of maturation.
Brett Josef Grubisic's second novel, This Location of Unknown Possibilities, was published in April.

30 Day Video Game Challenge, Day 16 - Game with the best cut scenes.
Least boring cutscenes: Half Life series.
Best 'traditional' cutscenes: Alan Wake
I have to give it to two games today for two different reasons.
I'm not too fond of cut scenes in games. A few games get them right, like Half Life 2 where you are free to wonder around, look at the gadgets in the laboratory or play with your gnome while the npcs are talking to each other. I just don't consider that a cutscene in the strictest of sense, but it still does it better than most games.
The other game is Alan Wake. The cutscenes in Alan Wake feel less intrusive than most games, rather elaborating on the feeling that you are in an interactive horror story. Cinematics that feel like a continuation of the story with narration and style. It still takes you out of the game but does so in a way that did not bother me for some reason.

|The new cover! See after the jump for a bigger
version, if you dare...
Through social media, email, and good old-fashioned face-to-face communications, I've made some other announcements, such as the name ("Eat Your Vegetables: Bold
For one thing, it'll be hardcover, and slightly bigger in size, with a POB (paper-over-board) cover. For those who like me had no idea what that latter term meant (at least before a conference call with the team a few months back), that's the term for a jacket-less hardback cover, with full-color printing directly on the cover paper. Matt's taken some truly stunning photos -- clean but warm and very textured, never stark or fussy -- and there are more photos this time around, some 25 plated dishes and at least a half-dozen shots of ingredients. But the expansions this time are not all stylistic. The book also has much more Writing (with a capital W) in it: essays on such topics as mock meats, the evolution of the vegetarian restaurant as I see (and have eaten in) it, the politics of cooking, gardening and farming, and recipe timing. Plus, of course, recipes: A little more than 80, including a central conceit that I hope readers love as much as I do: Instructions for making a big batch of something on, say, the weekend, with recipes for using it in different single-serving dishes throughout the week.
This is a long warmup for what I really wanted to talk about, which is the cover, which we've settled on. See after the jump for a bigger version.
I love the graphic nature of the photo, the rustic background, the bold chunky typography, and of course the dish: It's charred asparagus with a sauce on the side I'm calling romesco blanco, because it's like a white version of the Spanish romesco sauce, using a little salsa verde instead of tomatoes, plus a little mint for a bracing accent. The message I think the cover sends is this: I'm going to give you ideas for making vegetables interesting, but not super complicated. What do you think?

Hur impresses with more than just golf game
NORTH PLAINS, Ore. – M.J. Hur played her first tournament on American soil at the 2006 U.S. Women's Amateur at Pumpkin Ridge. She was hooked. The Korean teen immediately set her sights on the LPGA.
Three years later, she returned to North Plains as a rookie on the LPGA and won the Safeway Classic on Pumpkin's second track, Ghost Creek.
Hur's name is a memorable one, so when I spotted her on the range at the David Leadbetter Academy in South Korea in the spring of 2007, she was easy to place. Her English skills, however, were quite limited then and I spent most of my time chatting with Jennifer Song, who was on the practice tee beside Hur and spoke near-perfect English.
Fast-forward two years: Hur came into the media room after her playoff victory Sunday afternoon without the aid of an interpreter. She charmed the media with her bright smile and whole-hearted effort at speaking English.
Well done.

Assistance in Mine Action- Report of the Secretary General
This present report,A/66/292, covering the period from August 2009 to July 2011, is submitted pursuant to General Assembly resolution 64/84, in which the Assembly requested the Secretary-General to submit a report to the Assembly at its sixty-sixth session on the implementation of that resolution and on follow-up to previous resolutions on assistance in mine clearance and mine action, including on relevant United Nations policies and activities.
The report also outlines the achievements made since the previous report of the Secretary-General (A/64/287) in the implementation of the four strategic objectives identified in the United Nations Inter-Agency Mine Action Strategy 2006-2010. In recognition of the evolving mine action landscape, the report outlines a series of recommendations, including enhanced cooperation among United Nations mine action partners in the area of ammunition stockpile management, to address the increased threats posed by improvised explosive devices and the vast circulation of illicit small arms and light weapons.
