God Is My Traffic Cop
I keep getting messages from God about driving on the Sabbath, so I'm going give it up—for one Saturday
The thought first entered my mind when my car was vandalized in the synagogue parking lot during Saturday morning services.
It was 2008, my first time at the synagogue in Pasadena; I had recently moved from West L.A. and still clung to the tradition that wherever you go, the first thing you do is ring the local house of worship, hoping someone there can provide you with spiritual guidance and a list of the best bagel places in the area. I made it through the whole service and stayed to schmooze at the kiddush luncheon, where a bunch of Jewish women with name tags descended upon me like seagulls attacking a carton of french fries left unattended on a beach towel, pressuring me to join their congregation, attempting to lure me in with herring and whitefish salad and the sexy prospect of monthly synagogue sisterhood meetings. But while I'm a sucker for the shtetl food of my Eastern European great-grandparents, I was also several months pregnant with my second child, nauseated, and anxious to get back home. When Boaz, my toddler son, started throwing a tantrum because it was nap time, and because a lady who smelled like the perfume department of Ross Dress for Less was tickling him under the chin, I knew it was time to make a clean getaway.
I walked outside and saw the passenger side window of my car smashed into a thousand pieces, a glittery heap of broken glass on the cement. I'd left my cell phone and purse in the car because I didn't know if people at this Conservative shul were shomer Shabbat or if this was one of those "California Conservative" synagogues where the clergy plays acoustic guitar and the congregants are actually Reform; I'd erred on the side of halakhah. Unfortunately, nowhere in the Talmud tractate Shabbat does it state that one should always leave one's valuables in the trunk of one's vehicle (which one shouldn't be driving on Shabbat anyway), lest a petty thief come along, spot one's antiquated flip phone and all-time favorite leather Coach cross-body bag on the seat, throw a large rock through one's window, and take off with everything. And now I didn't have a phone to call the police. So, I had to go back inside.
When I announced to everybody, "My car's been broken into," people shuffled about, unsure what to do. (At least one of Boaz's new ladyfriends seemed disappointed that I hadn't come back to request a membership packet.) Pretty much everybody except for the rabbi (a former DJ who played the drum) had their cell phones either stuffed in a blazer pocket or in a giant purse, but had silenced them, and there was a long moment of acute awkwardness as they tried to figure out whether or not it was OK to turn them back on in the presence of the groovy percussionist rabbi. Finally, a girl in a sleeveless dress that showed off a tattoo on her shoulder blade pushed a phone into my hand.
I called my husband, who was off playing tennis with a friend that day because he's a bad Jew, which I made a point of screaming at him repeatedly when I called to let him know that our leased Subaru Forester had been ransacked. Then I called the cops, who arrived hours later, scribbling notes while the concerned congregants who'd stuck around looked on, circling my car and squinting like the amateur cast of CSI: Pasadena. I was swimming in shame and embarrassment. The whole reason I'd parked my car in the far right-hand corner of the lot was to avoid advertising the fact that I'd driven it there that day. Clearly, my plan had backfired.
As the crowd slowly retreated, I asked myself: Was I unsettled because I committed a Shabbat "crime," or because I'd gotten caught? Of course, the congregants didn't think less of me for driving; most of them had driven, too. This was Pasadena, a city that despite its small, tight-knit Jewish community, was a bastion of Christianity with a church on every corner. But I couldn't shake the nagging feeling that I'd done something seriously wrong and that somebody on high was sending me a message. I was a speck of dust in the synagogue parking lot, and God was wagging a finger: You can hide from congregants, He seemed to be saying, but you can't hide from Me.
Did I listen? No.
After the Great Shabbat Car Incident of 2008, I continued to drive on the Day of Rest and paid for it in the steady trickle of minor Shabbat-driving-related infractions that followed over the next four years: parking tickets, dead batteries, cosmetic dings, flat tires, and fender benders—all received on the Sabbath. One Saturday, Boaz unfastened his seat belt in our driveway and a police officer just happened to be around the corner and just happened to see him purposely launch himself in the air and hit his head against the roof of the car, making fake explosive sounds while pretending to be a Skylander Giant; the officer wrote me a warning for endangering my child.
God was trying to tell me something. When was I going to listen?
To understand what not driving on Shabbat would entail for me, though, you have to know something about Los Angeles. L.A. is a city engulfed in car culture. It is an asphalt jungle, a smoggy cement network of freeways and exit ramps. There are cars everywhere. There's an old joke that it takes 20 minutes to drive anywhere in L.A., but anybody who lives here knows that's false—it takes an hour and 20 minutes. L.A. is a sprawling city, with neighborhoods spread far and wide, and not everybody lives within walking distance of their synagogue of choice. So integrated are cars into the common vernacular that there are rabbis who espouse a level of observance they call "shomer Shabbat ABC (All But Cars)."
Not driving on Shabbat would entail a radical shift in my family's social life. We'd have to say no to the ballet classes and birthday parties and bat mitzvahs on the other side of town. I'd have to give up my Saturday afternoon Al-Anon meeting. And the honest truth is that, despite the stack of unpaid parking tickets in my sock drawer, I just wasn't ready to make those sacrifices.
But clearly I was being monitored by a higher authority, One who wasn't cutting me any slack. I finally found a Chabad house closer to home—1.1 miles to be exact—and my husband (OK, he's not really a bad Jew) and I now take the kids there often. Sometimes we drive, sometimes we walk, birds chirping overhead and the fresh scent of jacaranda (commingling with the dusty, dry San Gabriel Valley heat) wafting in the air. But there's never been any sort of consistency, and even if we walk to services, we've never gone an entire Saturday without getting behind the wheel at all. For me, not driving on Shabbat is a gateway mitzvah. If you don't drive, then pretty soon you're not eating out. If you're not eating out, pretty soon you're not spending money. And so on. Before you know it, you've stopped turning lights on and off, and you're pre-ripping your toilet paper.

Trading the Rise in Interest Rates; More Pain Ahead for REITs
By Ryan Glosier - July 1, 2013 | Tickers: DDR, DLR, EPR, NNN
Increased volatility has swept across major asset classes in recent weeks and this means more opportunities for active investors. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) was recently trading above 20, at the high-end of its 52-week range. In addition to a sell-off in stocks, there have also been major gyrations in bonds, commodities, and currencies. In particular, precious metals have plunged and interest rates have been rising sharply.

The Next Dividend Blowup?
By Chad Henage - August 9, 2012 | Tickers: DDR, GRT, NNN, SPG
Usually when investors hear that a company is a dividend aristocrat they assume that the stock would be a good long-term hold. In theory, a company doesn't increase its dividend for 25 straight years in a row without some type of stability in their operations. However, I've now looked at several new dividend aristocrats that were added this year and they don't exhibit the same type of stability that more well-known names do. The latest example is a company named, National Retail Properties (NYSE: NNN).
Kingsview Asset Management Leveraged REIT Program: Effective Leverage to Boost Returns
By Jeff Stouffer - July 27, 2012 | Tickers: EGP, HR, HIW, LRY, NNN, SNH, UBA, WRE
The search for investment returns from non-traditional asset classes has driven the investor appetite to include Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). Publicly traded REITs have delivered long-term returns that have low correlation to equity markets in general. The source of such performance is associated with the long term income producing qualities and value appreciation properties of the underlying real estate.

NICOLE SCHERZINGER Suffers Wardrobe Malfunction, Exposes Nipple Covers In Sheer Dress (PHOTOS)
In recent celebrity news, NICOLE SCHERZINGER suffered a wardrobe malfunction at Wednesday's National Television Awards—she unwittingly showed off the nipple covers she was wearing under her sheer black dress!
All eyes were on the stunning singer as she took to the red carpet at the O2 Arena in London for the 2013 National Television Awards—but it wasn't because of her pretty face or her smoking hot figure…
It was because of her nipple covers, which were clearly visible—thanks to the bright flashes from photographers' cameras—through the thin fabric of her black Ossie Clark gown.
It could have been worse, though… at least she wore nipple covers.

For how long have you been making hot sauce?
I have been making hot sauce for over 4 years, but producing it to sell for about 2 years.
What are your most popular products?
My most popular products are the original "Ghost", the "Wingman" spice blend and the "Green" sauce. The "Green" surprises everyone with its fresh citrus flavor and flavorful heat.
How did you get started making hot sauce?
A few years back, I was looking for some hot sauce to put on some tacos I made. After complaining to my wife about all the mediocre sauces we had, she said "Why don't you make your own then?". I began researching by reading labels to see what ingredients people use, and made a list of the most common. I hit up the Spice House and purchased a variety of dry peppers. I had heard of the Bhut Jolokia (Ghost pepper) but did not find many sauces that used it. Most hot sauces were using habanero or extracts which I knew I would never do. After some experimenting, I came up with a recipe I liked and shared it with family and friends. Response was great and I started getting requests for more. I ordered bottles and my wife and I hand-stamped labels. The labels are very typography since I really like the simple, clean look you don't get with most hot sauce bottles. The most fun was coming up with catchy phrases, to get people laughing. The EX always gets a lot of laughs.
When did you go commercial?
Three years ago I started selling my products at Moveable Feast in Geneva, Illinois. The owners, Matt and Kim Lennert allowed us to use their location for an event, "The Wing Thing" we sponsored to raise funds for my Make -A-Wish Marathon team. It gave me the opportunity to highlight the Wingman spice blend and raise money for a great cause. As of right now I am working on my website so I can reach a larger audience and offer e-commerce. I have started doing a farmers market and look forward to having my products into some specialty food stores in Chicago.
How many bottles of hot sauce do you produce a year?
Do I really have to answer that question? Not as many as I would like and definitely not enough to quit my day job. I would say about 100 bottles of each product, so around 600 total, would be a safe number.
Do you have a preferred chili pepper as an ingredient?
My preferred pepper is the Bhut Jolokia. I do use some others but in very small quantities but not really for flavor. The Ghost supplies all of the flavor and heat I need.
Aside from chili peppers, what do you feel is the key ingredient(s) in making the perfect hot sauce?
Vinegar, to open up the taste buds, tomato for sweetness and always fresh produce when appropriate. No matter the proportions, without salt, you've got nothing.
Is there a special process you follow in making your hot sauces?
Preparation methods are a lot different when using fresh ingredients versus ground dried ingredients - the rest are Double D's secrets.
Do you follow a particular philosophy to making hot sauces?
Absolutely! I think a good hot sauce enhances the flavors of your favorite foods. I like spicy, but I really like quality food with great flavor on its own. A hot sauce should not cover up flavor, it should work with the flavors and give you the kick you want. My Green sauce has a very light, refreshing citrus flavor, it's perfect with fish, pork and chicken. A good friend used to look at the Green, shake his head and tell me that he just didn't understand it. I told him to give it a chance and try it and eventually he did. Later he came back looking sheepish; now he's hooked. I have several people that tell me it's like liquid crack - they just can't stop using it.
Do you have any other favorite spicy foods?
My wife and I enjoy curry. Some Indian friends have shared tips and we've made many on our own and they're pretty good.
Do you have any advice for would-be hot sauce makers making sauces at home?
Be creative. Don't use extracts, they are bitter and hard to control. Work in small batches or split a large batch then heat and flavor them differently until something catches your attention. Write down everything. Be very thorough!
Imagine this sad reality: If you could have only one chili pepper the rest of your life, which would you choose?
The Ghost pepper.
If your life could be turned into a movie, who would you like to have play YOU on the big screen? What might the movie TITLE be?
I don't know, as long as he is good looking and funny I'd be happy. I can't give you the title because I think I might use it for a cookbook that I am thinking about.
Any other parting thoughts?
Have everyone give me a call so I can sell them some sauce, then they can do other things with their time. Just kidding. Sort of, no honestly if it interests you give it a shot and see what happens. Don't settle for the old stand-by, support the small local guys going natural with no preservatives. It's fun to create something on your own and it's even better when people pay for it. That was when I knew I was on to something.

Geek community Great Fishing Rod Holders
So we call our little fishing geek community. Me and my friends. Because nothing else we can not do. What more can I say? Ordinary holders for fishing rods!
So. Jokes aside. What we know about the fishing rod holders?
They are made of metal, plastic and wood. They may be cheap, or can be devilishly expensive. They attach to the simple boats, canoes and kayaks. They are stuck into the clay banks or in the crevices between the stones. Those damn holders are broken, cracked, bent, get lost. Cases may be different.
One thing remains unchanged. If you once used a fishing rod holder, you'll do it forever. Until the fish and have fun!
But it's not all!
There are some guys who carry a rack for fishing rods. I do not understand this! Imagine – rod rack for truck! However, far more guys who leave these racks for fishing rods in the garage or house. So in fact it is correct! It is best to go on a fishing trip without wife, mobile phone and the damn rack!
Simply put, forget all that anyone you talk about real fishing and fishermen. The beauty is that one does not get you to talk. No one points out how to dress and what car to drive. You can go fishing on a bicycle! A fish does not talk as you know.
On this site we will talk about fishing, the fishing gear and equipment. About all that can be helpful. We will share our experiences and fishing research. I think it will be interesting. Join now!

LOVE this in my bedroom with my new Monroe bedroom set. Hides my electronics and looks better than other consoles I found online. Great quality, arrived assembled, very happy.
The Eldridge entertainment center is made to a very high standard and has a beautiful veneer. The product came packed up really well and was in perfect condition when it arrived. The problems I have with it are in it's dimensions. I planned on modifying the cabinet somewhat so I could use it with my center channel speaker but I didn't realize I would have to go to the extent that I did. The side cabinets are not wide enough or deep enough to fit a standard Denon receiver. I had to remove both front drawers and cut a hole in the back of the middle compartment so I could house my receiver, center channel and route wires out the back. The side compartments are also lacking in shelves so I had to buy some after market shelves so my xbox, mac mini, and networking gear didn't all have to sit on top of each other. It is still very hot in the side compartment so the next mod will be adding in some fans to vent the hot air. After all this I am still very pleased with my purchase. The cabinet looks stunning in my home and is definitely a huge step up in quality from places like Ikea.
I like the TV stand, but I don't love it. The good: - Well made - The shelves have vents in them, which makes it easy to run cables and keeps things cool. - It's delivered into your place (when I read the description, it seemed like it would be dropped off at your curb). - Plenty of room for your devices. - Very easy assembly - you just add the chrome parts. The bad: - The color for the walnut is much, much darker than the photo. Seriously, much darker. - The delivery service was at least 6 hours late and they didn't remove the packaging or let me inspect the item. If I'm to be honest, they were quite rude - raided my fridge and bolted. And they ended up showing up at 9 P.M. - There are no cable vents for the center drawers. For the price, it just wasn't what I expected. I didn't adjust the score for the poor delivery because it's not Overstock's fault or a reflection of the product, but the delivery was terrible.
well made. looks great. received so many compliments on it from friends. very happy with purchase.
Though smaller than what I expected, this unit is well built and beautiful. The openings in the bottom make it easy to connect all components and keep wires hidden away.
Nice addition to my apartment. But it may be built too will. Devices in the cabinet will not respond to remote control. However to keep components hid, and remotes working, all that is needed is a small external antenna for each device, mounted behind the unit. Small price the the added elegance.

Posts Tagged 'pinched nerve in shoulder'
Shoulder Blade Pain / San Diego
One of the most common complaints that I see new patients for in my San Diego Chiropractic office is pain between the shoulder blades. Pain between the shoulder blades is common both with people who perform sedentary work – such as computer work as well as with people who are more active.
The area between the shoulder blades is complex. Most of the nerves that control the muscles in this area come from the neck and all of the muscles that are between the shoulder blades attach to the spine of the neck and upper back. This anatomic arrangement makes the area between the shoulder blades susceptible to poor posture such as head forward and rounded shoulder postures. Since the nerves that control the muscles in the area between the shoulder blades come from the neck, pinched nerves in the neck will also affect this area. Lastly, the muscles that lie between the shoulder blades are stabilizers and movers of the shoulders.
Considering all the responsibilities and potential stresses that the area between the shoulder blades has, it is a wonder that it isn't more problematic than it already is! Shoulder blade pain is no different than any other joint / muscle pain in that it follows the same pattern. Initially a joint, muscle or nerve is irritated. The irritation leads to inflammation and the inflammation causes pain and muscle spasm. Pain and muscle spasms between the shoulder blades can cause nagging, achy pain that is punctuated by sharp pains that come with specific movements or activities.
Chiropractic treatment helps relieve pain between the shoulder blades by restoring normal joint motion and reducing inflammation. Typical chiropractic treatment includes chiropractic adjustments, E stim, ultrasound and specific stretches and ice applications to be done at home.
If you are suffering from pain between the shoulder blades and need relief call our San Diego chiropractic office today at (619) 280-0554. We would be happy to help you.

Pinched Nerve
What is a pinched nerve? If you have had a pinched nerve you know the answer.
My San Diego chiropractic clinic stays busy treating patient's suffering from pinched nerves. A pinched nerve is a painful condition that usually involves compression of a nerve by a misaligned joint, swollen or spasmed muscles and sometimes herniated discs.
Pinched nerve symptoms almost always involves pain local to the origin of the nerve (usually near the spine) and pain that travels down the arm, leg (sciatica) or around the rib cage. The pain that travels with a pinched nerve is known as radiating pain.
Common areas for pinched nerve that I see here in my office are as follows:
1) Pinched nerve in neck
2) Pinched nerve in back
3) Pincher nerve in shoulder
Pinched nerve treatment always revolves around relieving pressure from the nerve. Chiropractic care is especially effective in treating pinched nerves because most pinched nerves are caused by irritated and inflamed joints putting pressure on the nerve. Since chiropractic treatment focuses on the health of the joints it is very effective at relieving joint pressure.
In addition to chiropractic care, patients are encouraged to avoid any activities that aggravate the pain and to apply ice packs to the area where the nerve is being pinched – not where the pain is traveling. This is known as treating the source not the symptom and it is the only way to cure a pinched nerve.
Yours in Good Health,

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) -- Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear says four people have died from flood-related causes as high waters blocked hundreds of roads throughout the state.
Beshear says emergency declarations have been issued in 40 Kentucky counties and 15 cities.
He said the deaths occurred in Allen, Barren, Lincoln and Madison counties.
The governor says he is urging motorists to use caution when encountering high waters on roadways. At least two of the deaths in Kentucky happened to people who were driving when their cars hit high water.
The National Weather Service says southern Kentucky got the heaviest rainfall, with 11 inches in Allen County, 10 in Warren County and nine in Metcalfe County since Saturday.

I remember the days on the playground when the boys in my class used to dare us to climb the poles at recess.
Not one to be suckered, I knew they wanted to peek up our skirts. Nowadays, kids have to watch their words and actions or else they might be labeled as sexual harassers.
In Woodbridge, VA, first–grader Randy Castro slapped a girl on her tush at recess. Not surprisingly, she told the teacher who marched the boy down to the principal's office.
All sounds pretty normal, right? To see how this story will surprise you, read more.
So now the boy's school record will read, "Sexual Touching Against Student, Offensive." Unsure of how the incident will impact Randy Castro for the remainder of his school career and his life, it seems a tad harsh to label a young child a "sexual harasser" for a slap on a hiney. Even the mother of the spanked little girl agrees.

About Port de Soller, Mallorca
Port of Soller is a wonderful little village situated in one of Mallorca's most beautiful horseshoe harbours. Surrounded by the Tramuntana mountains, this town has the best of both worlds - magnificent mountain scenery and a sea view to boot.
It has not been over-developed in the past and this fact is being taken advantage of now by attempts to turn it into a sophisticated holiday destination.
The Jumeirah Group have opened a super-luxury hotel on the hills above Port de Soller, which promises to be one of the most luxurious places to stay in Europe, let alone Mallorca. As a result, the town is undergoing a bit of facelift, with the sea-front being redeveloped, and the tram line that runs to the inland town of Soller being re-routed.

He is not only a great surgeon, he is kind, caring and takes so much of his time to explain everything to you.

He is not a good surgeon. He did an under eye surgery on me removing so much tissue that resulted in deep hollowing. This cannot be repaired and requires bi-yearly fillers which are painful and very expensive. Do your research - I wish I never went to him.

Monster planet : a zombie novel
Harry Turtledove
Adult Fiction WELLING
Harry Turtledove
Adult Fiction WELLING
Summary: Set twelve years after the shambling zombie masses have overrun Manhattan, America, and the world, Monster Planet is the mind-blowing conclusion to what must be the scariest trilogy ever. Oceans of blood, scattered limbs, wanton violence, and general mayhem abound, along with revivified mummies, a Welsh sorcerer, and Wellington's signature brand of cool high-tech weaponry and sly humor - zombies, after all, are the ultimate consumers. What do the undead want, aside from fresh meat? Do the steadily diminishing number of humans who have somehow managed to survive over a decade of living hell stand a chance on a planet where they've been reduced to the status of prey? It all ends here, on Monster Planet.

Please don't take this as an insult Basil, but I love this column in spite of the fact that I've never actually learned anything new from it. I always expect to read some new "trick" and I'm always treated to just plain old common sense. Nothing in this column has ever been truly revealing about any market. And that's why I love it (i think). People crying about trade secrets being given away are just silly. Every week you give valuable info, and if more folks used this common sense approach, we'd see much more market stability. I'd love to see the day when people realize you shouldn't routinely sell items for less than the cost of the mats. Big tip right there! ;)

/flounders because of that smile
/flounders because of that smile
So I made a thing…
I saw the little dancing Huss with the last updates, and thought it would be a crime to NOT make it into an MSPANotifier image. I mean lookit him! He's got all his work done and just wants to show it to you! ~<3
So… The music for this update was Gold Pilot, the 'character theme' song thingy for the Ψiioniic/Mituna. And we just watched it get royally F-ed up.
Did we just witness the wibbly-wobbly-timey-wimey, time-looped-to-hell moment where Mituna got just as F-ed up?
Happy 4/13 everyone! =D
Back on LOIAO for the first time in what seemed like ages, first order of business was to say hello to every Endermander in the close vicinity. They were kinda clingy like that, always missing her when she left, several begging to be brought along on her questing in the other Lands. She couldn't though, not with their nature being as it was. They probably wouldn't be able to handle the brighter worlds, and they'd attack anything that looked at them, so they would hardly make friends. Still, the little posse of around ten Endermanders that had pretty much adopted her as 'family' and the house as 'home' needed some reassurance that she was always far too willing to give.
The little buggers had burrowed straight into her heart and had taken up gleeful residence. Blastedly cute little pink eyes demons!… Bah.
Once they had stopped crying for her attention, happy and satisfied that she was safe and staying for some time, the second order of business could commence. Time to take a moment for me, a day to sit down, sit back, and just chillax. She had been bopping all over the Incipisphere, kicking names and taking ass every step of the way, and she was tired. As Gamzee would say, time for a motherfucking break.
That wasn't exactly a whistle. That was an articulation of a whistle. Who used words to make a sound rather than actually making the sound? Tina did, that's who. (She's a special pumpkin like that.) It only happened sometimes though. Only when she was very impressed, very bewildered, or some combination of both. This time around, it was the combo that managed to make her speak her sounds.
Forget magnets. How did THIS even work?
You know what's tricky? Like, really tricky? Portals. Portals are hard. And a lot of the time, they suck too. You know why? Because they have a habit of turning you on your head if you're not careful, so you always have to be mindful of your orientation when going in. Location is key too; the Portal will only spit you out in the way you are hoping it will if it has space to spit you out into. If it doesn't, it'll just toss you the other way, and that's never fun.
Practicing hardly even helps either. She'd know, she'd done it bunches of times lately. That first Gate is practically a god-send, opening up so far away. That's the only way she'd been able to find Imps to fight. While it was real convenient that the Endermanders protected the house, it had it's drawbacks too. So, she'd been using that Gate to level-up, but even with all that jumping, she still managed to land on her proverbial face half of the time.
'Now you're thinking with Portals!' my ass. Aperture Science can suck it.
If you are reading this, then you've completed the Official Kickstarter Comment Section Pixel Art Collab. You are truly an adult subgroup of a larger fandom.
I have never been more proud of you.
Thank you all for contributing to this project! We've finished it with 35 hours to spare! Please: Reblog!!! Show the other Homestucks what we've accomplished!
So much pride, my fandom, so much pride. <3
I contributed squares H1 (Upside-down Gcat), F7 (Lovestruck yet confused Lime), H12 (BAMF AR), and L13 (Top half of the Ghost Lemon Butt).
YES, I WAS THE ONE TO COMPLETE THAT BUTT. You can't just leaving a ghost butt hanging, yah know? And that Lemon was just crying out to have such a boodilucious bod. ;D
I grin like an idiot whenever I think about it guys. LIKE A BLOODY IDIOT.
He thought it was going to be so cool. He would make the best entrance, one of the best, the very best! Much better than John did anyway. Crashing into things with his rocket-pack, that was not the way to go. But then again, Rose's house hadn't been built up like it should have for John to come through, so maybe he could be given a little credit for not falling to his doom.
STILL, his entrance was bound to be much cooler. Team Radical had been in constant contact about everything, so he knew that everyone's houses were getting up there. Even though she had been the last one in, Tina had had no problem catching up. Her Grist stores were ENORMOUS. She and Gordon had been having a field day with it, if he remembered correctly. Lucky rich people…

Top romantic dinner just do it
We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner cruise on the canals in Amsterdam. The food was delicious and who can complain about unlimited wine. We did this cruise on our last night in Amsterdam and it was a magical ending to 3 fun days. I highly recommend this cruise.
Very well done tour. Dinner was really good too
food, sights, sounds were all fabulous.
Excellent time. The food was great, the sights were interesting and the commentary was good. Got a pretty good view of the city and the canals and how they worked. Forgot about the canal boathouses. Next time I want to stay in one of them instead of a hotel. Great time. My son wants to move to the Netherlands.
This has to be the best value trip you can do if you are visiting Amsterdam. The Captain gave an excellent, funny commentary and the staff on board were excellent and their service was definitely 5 star. The food was much better than we had thought and was restaurant quality and very tasty and not what we expected after having similar food/cruise trips in other countries. If you do nothing else make sure you book the dinner cruise and like us I am sure you will not be disappointed.
Excellent tour, fun guide and great meal
The evening was great. The food and service were very good.
The evening was great. The food and service were very good
Really enjoyed this and the food was very good
This tour was excellent and was the highlight of our honeymoon. The food was perfect! My only complaint would be that it isn't unlimited drinks, your drinks are included but you only get drinks when the waiters aren't busy, this isn't very often when 2 guys are serving 4 courses to a boatfull.
We thoroughly enjoyed our canal cruise with dinner and would recommend that if you are visiting Amsterdam definitely put it on your to do list. We were welcomed on board by the friendly staff followed by a first class four course dinner accompanied by a welcoming glass of champagne and bottles of red and white wine on the table and were advised beer and soft drink were available. The cruise lasted 2 hours and we received a commentary as we motored along the canals. Everything as promised. Thoroughly enjoyable.
This dinner cruise on the canals in Amsterdam was a high-lite of our vacation. the food was very good, the wine great and the scenery along the canals exceptional.
This tour provided a very enjoyable evening on the canals of Amsterdam. The staff was friendly and efficient, the food was good, the wine flowed, and the tour covered everything we wanted to see. I would definitely recommend this tour.

This was the favorite cruise of our stay in Amsterdam. Raining outside but warm and cozy inside. Dinner was excellent and plentiful and staff friendly. Amsterdam was beautiful and I would recommend this tour to anyone contemplating a trip to Amsterdam.

Indiana School
Indiana School
This school was built for Ward One of the South Haven School District in 1898. Constructed at a cost of nearly $5,000 by William Buck, the handsome two-story building was designed by Frank S. Allen. It later took its name from the street on which it is located. On December 5, 1898, some 115 students, kindergarten through sixth grade, moved into the structure. Since that time, the Indiana School has remained a South Haven neighborhood school.

State Poet in Our Midst
Rick Benjamin, a gifted poet and senior lecturer who has taught in RISD's Literary Arts + Studies department for over a decade, has been named the State Poet of Rhode Island, according to an announcement released today.
As this photo of Rick with students from Providence's Central High School indicates, he's already an active member of the local literary scene who is known for his effective educational outreach efforts.
"My deepest wish during my tenure will be to saturate this small state with poetry – in schools, community and assisted living centers, in places where poetry already has a presence and in some other ones where it is desperately needed," Rick said in acknowledging the appointment from Governor Lincoln Chafee. "I am delighted to accept this position."
At RISD, we're equally delighted with the good news. Congratulations, Rick!

And what a good feeling that is!
Holidays can be a wonderful thing – an opportunity to relax and recharge. But there's something about getting back home, back into familiar routines that can be every bit as relaxing. Especially when the holiday turned into an endurance test! And oh, what a test it was.
The only ones relaxing during the last few days of this holiday were the dogs! …Continue

Since I don't have a quilt to show, I thought I'd share my day's work yesterday. My 2 youngest sons and I picked plums from our loaded plum tree last weekend. After giving away as many of those gems as we could, I still had a bounty of fruit. I loaded up on sugar, pectin and 4 1/2 cup containers and ended up with this. I now have Christmas gifts for co-workers and neighbors! I'll be glad in December that I spent the time doing this!…Continue

He is 21 years old and will no doubt live at least another 20 or more. He has been with us for 19 years, so parting with him is going to be really hard.

Georgetown University Racist, Sexist Arianna Pattek, Destroyed White Male Applications/ Update
For some self justifying reason, AVfM has actually apologised for their article on this topic about this despicable feminist. However, I am quite happy exposing this misanthrope and have her own confession on record. No apology here.
Arianna Pattek
She claims she had a very interesting system for screening applicants. The applications from white males were trashed, regardless of qualifications.
This does explain why females are now the majority at University. Not because they are that brilliant, but solely because they are stopping Male Students from applying. What a class act these women are and what sheer hypocrisy do they work under and how far do they actually go to ensure that only female applicants sent to any University now, is passed. What unconscionable behaviour.
Another sexist, racist, male-hating feminist female.
1. Arianna Pattek is a student at Georgetown University
"My name is Arianna Pattek and I am a sophomore hailing from sunny south Florida. I can't wait to spend my summer in Kenya! I am looking forward to building lasting relationships with my fellow interns and the community members I encounter while learning as much about their culture."
Here is some more about this male-hating female. From another obvious, feminist promoting, site, promoting endless sessions against males, under the false claim and guise that they stand for peace. Another site designed to malign and promote typical anti-male rhetoric. Something that the racist and sexist Arianna Pattek has already demonstrated she really is. What an completely, obnoxious, female.
A typical male-bashing, feminist influenced site, under the guise of being something grander.
Breakout Session #2
Saturday, 9:00 am–10:15 am
Ariana Pattek, Georgetown University
Engaging Men with Matches: An Exploration of Denial/Distorter Historians, Their Motivations and Their Dangers
Another male hating, feminist demonstrating her bias and hate at it promotes the above paper.Strangely enough, when looking into that trollop, I found all the links at the Georgetown University site, were either have been broken or did not load at all. I tried three different links and they all came up with the broken links page. Georgetown University is trying very hard to erase that racist female from their records.
Here is her self confessing claim of her deliberate actions at making sure male were rejected and placed last while ensuring that females were given priority.
Here is the story in more detail.
Georgetown University, a cover-up?
At the time I am writing this a scandal is erupting across the internet and the mainstream involving prestigious Georgetown University and one of their former employees, Arianna Pattek, a Georgetown grad student who says she was hired to read and process applications for admissions to the school.
She claims she had a very interesting system for screening applicants. The applications from white males were trashed, regardless of qualifications.
And now it appears that Georgetown University may be trying to cover it up.
The background of this story is pretty disturbing. Pattek, who clearly has issues with sexual and racial bigotry, decided she would not only trash the applications of white males on sight, she also decided to blog about her activities under what she assumed was anonymous conditions. Writing for a web blog called The Feminist Conservative, Pettek laid out precisely what she was doing in very clear terms:

Dear Parents and Community Members:
I am writing to put in context some of the budget decisions that the Board of Education will have to be making over the next couple of months. As you may have heard, the funding situation for schools and most other governmental entities in Illinois is dire and state funding for North Boone has decreased more than $1 million in General State Aid (GSA) over the past three years. The state has also reduced the reimbursements for transportation, special education and other mandated state and federal programs over the last several years. This leaves school districts in a difficult position. We are effectively required by law to plan our staffing and programs by early April, but we have no final confirmation what level of funding that we will receive from the state, which makes up about 40% of our budget. If state or other funding sources increase, the Board can bring back programs over the summer.
Without any additional reductions in spending and if we see the 9% reduction in GSA, which is a fairly conservative estimate based on recent conversations with state lawmakers, the Board would need to reduce costs or increase revenues by about $1.125 million to balance the budget. If the state provided the district with all of the GSA due to North Boone under the state's own rules, we would not need to make any cuts for next year. Adding to the complications of this budget year are the potential changes in state pension rules which would require districts to pay what has traditionally been the state's portion of teacher pension funding. This could cost the district more than $600,000 if the district has to cover that entire cost beginning next year. The changes in insurance due to the Affordable Care Act, often called Obama Care, may also cost the district more to provide insurance beginning next year. A list of reductions made over the past three years is posted here on the district website.
The number one priority of the Board and the district's administrative team remains providing all of the children in the district with a safe and effective educational experience. We have looked into a number of ways to try to reduce the district's expenses and eliminate programs which don't have a direct positive impact on student learning. Over the last three years, the Board made approximately $2.5 million in cuts. A complete list of previous cuts can be found on the district's website. This year's budget projects an approximate $500,000 deficit. According to the financial projections provided to the district in January by PMA, a financial investment and consulting firm, North Boone will spend approximately $1.125 million more next year than we will take in if we don't make any cuts and our pension and insurance costs remain the same. The district is currently projected to run out of reserves between 2018 and 2019. The Board asked the administration in January to return with recommendations for further cuts that would push that date out between 2020 and 2021.
The administrative team will provide the Board several options for reducing expenditures at the
Thursday, February 21, 2013 Board meeting. Most likely, the Board will act on many of those recommendations at the Thursday, March 21, 2013 and Thursday, April 25, 2013 Board meetings.
We will continue to reach out to other local governmental agencies and other school districts to try to work together where we can to be more efficient and save the tax payers money.
The district formed two staff and parent committees to make recommendations regarding our transportation and student activities and athletic programming. We continue to work off of those recommendations. A third committee was asked to review the current status of our athletic fields and stadium and make recommendations to the Board about how to go about keeping those spaces in good condition. They will report back to the Board in May.
It is important to add that a number of staff and community members have helped to raise money or donate time and materials to assist the district in coping with this difficult economic environment. On behalf of the Board, I would like to once again thank those volunteers and donors who have helped North Boone this year.
If you have constructive suggestions for how the district can reduce expenses or increase revenue, please let me know. You can leave your suggestions on the online budget survey available on the district's website, www.nbcusd.org, or contact my office at 815-765-3322. If you don't have a computer and would like to complete the survey, paper copies will be available in each school and the district office.

Mel you look amazing! Good for you.
Dang Mel, you look great!
Good job Mel! You look fantastic!
You look awesome Mel!
Why is it that after get rid of almost 70 pounds I still feel so blimp'ish! I know I still have 40 to go but still I look at my reflection and still see the big girl. Sigh... here is a face shot from one year ago this last weekend and one from this last weekend. I mean I can see in my face alone that I have lost weight but I just don't "feel" like I have lost weight.
one year later
Again, I am so amazed at the change. You are truly one hot momma, I can't believe how good you look pam! I am totally impressed and in aw! Way to go momma for reaching this point!
I know I have to keep going and keep pushing to get the last 40 off maybe then I'll finally feel "hot". LOL
I know you don't feel that way now, but really you should. I mean it Pam, I really wish we lived closer I would take you shopping to celebrate this moment! Gosh I love it!
PAM!! You look like a totally different person. You need to say something to yourself in the mirror every morning! Something like "I am proud of myself, I am beautiful and I am worth this!!"
Pam, WOW! The difference in INCREDIBLE! You look amazing!
Pam! :hooray: :hooray: WOW! You look AWESOME! :)
What they said!!! You look amazing! great job!!! How do you still have 40 lbs to lose???!
I have 40 more until I get to a good BMI and the DR will leave me alone. LOL
PAM!!! Ok, so in the first picture, is that your sister with you? Because the 2nd picture you look like her-I would have thought it was a picture of her if you hadn't said it was you!-you have done soooo good, sweetie. It is so obvious how hard you've worked. Those two pictures tell it all-and that's just your FACE!

Honestly I don't have one but I will work on getting one. Also seeing as how none of my clothes fit (except the ones you sent me lol) my clothes are still so bagie that I still look big because I am sinching up big clothes. :)
Ok, time to send some more than! I will try and work on that this afternoon. I have some 16 skirts coming your way and some L shirts. Also some capries and shorts that I am afraid are outta season but will send just incase..... Also What size bra you wearing?
Amber you do so much for me that I feel guilty! The same goes for Claudia! You send me clothes and Claudia always sends me the Clothes Dani out grows. I feel so blessed and guilty. The one pair of Jeans I own are the ones you sent me. LOL I am really not sure about Bra but I do know what I have one is to big. I am guessing I would need to go down a cup size that would make me a 36 D.
Maybe we should start a clothes swap on here! As we shrink out of our old clothes we pass them on to some one else. Though I don't think there is any one on here that could wear my clothes. They are nice clothes I wish I knew some one I could pass them on to. :(
Well I am still wearing 18 and don't see getting outta them any time soon. LOL!
Dont even worry about it. These clothes are sitting in my closet and I want you to have them. FREE OF CHARGE! Last time you sent me money I hated it..... I know what you mean if it weren't for my cousin giving my her old clothes for her daughter I would never have enough for Harley! We are blessed because we have such great friends.
Holy sh!t, Pam!!! You look truly amazing! A whole new/different person!! You are one hot mama!! For real!! GREAT work!

Great game!
Just love this game, I am a fan. This is almost as good as 3D PC version of the game, but in other hand it's easier to pick up and play. For start it feels like simple game, but you have to figure out tactic and then you really can stack those blocks well. Advice for the newbies, there is no rush!

I love this game. finally i can play it without asking my brothers cellphone.
i can't say anything except that i love this game. really addocting too.
Rated 4 / 5 stars May 26, 2008
While this game is fun and challenging, I do have to complain a bit. Although I have fast internet, this game was very jumpy at very bad points. I would get a combo, and the sparkles would anger my computer. It would slow down and even if I guessed when to put down a story, it wouldn't do it when it was jumping. As a result I ended up with pitiful combos and a lot of unfinished buildings. I even changed the quality, but that did not help.
Otherwise, good game.
