I had some good suggestions for a tripod a while back. Now I'm after a travel tripod for under £100 available in the UK. The tripod I've mentioned seems quite good for a carbon fibre tripod at just under £100.
It looks as if it isn't that popular, so any other suggestions for a travel type tripod for under £100. And again, available in the UK?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Traditionalism may refer to:
The systematic emphasis on the value of Tradition
Traditional values, those beliefs, moral codes, and mores that are passed down from generation to generation.
We don't know when the Delta 100 photos were taken as compare to those with canon 60d. You must remember that digital cameras have only been around as little as 14 years. The early years (1998-2002/3) we're talking 1 to 4 mp cameras. The canon 60d was not released until the last part of 2010. So any photos taken by it would more likely be something we would recognize as the 21st century. I am sure that there are a great many digital photos that have been taken that would not be recognized as 21st century either.
Most people don't just shoot one style of photography, they may shoot many styles. So enjoy what ever way you shoot whether it's modern or traditional.

Sorry, this isn't a creampie... wet pussy, sure. But really? I see no cum... total waste of 1:32 I'll never get back.
Oh God...Thats Beautiful!
Love this sort of close up video. So hot! Would have been fantastic if was truly a creampie vid though >.< But either way....thanks to the uploader! Yum.
reminds me of the vids i made with my girlfriend
I LOVE to see males and females together. It is so beautiful. Perfect fit.
Great. I enjoy female POV. Her clit and lips swell so...
this is so hot
OMG. Watching he precum gently rubbing her clit was good but seeing he pussy convulse partially open like that might be the best video ever. I love watching my generous clit pulse like that
If this were actually a creampie it would be one of the hottest videos of all time. Any guy that could get his cock near that lovely vagina would shoot his seed straight into the womb. Too bad they didn't show it.
I love how his cock caresses her clit, and how she milks pre-cum out of him. I'd love to see the finale!
WOW, absolutely fuckin fab, what a hit pussie just wish it was my cock sliding between those lips instead of between my fingers.
I wish these style of vids were in more abundance and/or more commonplace.
nice job
Wonderful filming. Sultry. Really Great.
nicely filmed , loved it!
superb pussy
seems to be who she is filming
hey esta buenisomo ese video como siente ella cuendo se lo pasa por el clitoris
pero que rica verga!!!! asi se hace, quisiera tener un amante asi de bueno, con la cabeza bien grande
...cum to fast. 1:32. Really?
this video makes me come again and adain and again
this is my favorite video a long time now. i cant stop watching it again and again and again!!

Hands down best investment for our weddingReviewed on 8/29/2014 Jessica B
Jeremy was our officiant for the wedding, master of ceremonies, and DJ! He went above and beyond to make sure our dreams came true on our special day! He put a special touch on every important part of the day. We recieved many compliments on how our wedding was different than... Read More others and how much fun they had. Jeremy made me feel at ease through the entire wedding planning process. I was never stressed out or worried! He was worth every penny and I HIGHLY reccomend his services.
DJ JerReviewed on 10/02/2014 Abby S
Jeremy was so fun to work with! During our initial consultation he really got to know us as a couple and how we envisioned our wedding day. He was so personable and professional throughout the planning experience. The day of the wedding I was a little stressed out and I went... Read More to see the reception space and he and his crew were setting up. Jeremy could tell I was a little stressed and gave me a hug and reassured me everything would look perfect. He was definitely right! When I first walked into our reception, the lighting looked absolutely amazing and exactly how I had pictured it! We had a personalized monogram behind our head table with lighting as well. My favorite part of the whole day was our DANCE! He had the dance floor FULL with all ages and everyone was having a fantastic time! We had sooo many compliments from our guests on how great of an entertainer our DJ was. The flow of the whole reception was spot on, there was never a lull in the entertainment. We did an auction for the garter and many of our out of town guests had said they had never seen that before and were very impressed. I must say so myself that Jeremy must have been an auctioneer previously because he did phenomenal! The music for the dance was exactly what I wanted and there was a good mix so everyone was satisfied with the selections. We could not have been more please with our experience with Jeremy, I definitely recommend him other brides/grooms!
Excellent DJ, lifesaver at receptionReviewed on 6/18/2015 Mallory S
Eric was our DJ and he did a great job. The dance floor was packed all night. He honored all of our requests. He also jumped in to help by dismissing tables for the buffet. No regrets here!
Thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of your wedding. It was an honor and thank you for sharing your results so others may have the same. Congratulations!
Not only the best DJ in town but also a great friend!!!!Reviewed on 10/31/2014 Samantha M
Jeremy was not just the DJ at my wedding or just the guy who married me and my husband Jeremy was there also as a great friend almost like a big brother! He made my wedding night a night to remember! Everything was just so perfect and organized he made sure everything was how I... Read More wanted it and more!!! The dance floor was never Empty he played every kind of music you could want for all ages! He know how to keep the party going!! My special day wouldn't of been the same without him!!! Much love to Jeremy!!! :)
What a night!Reviewed on 10/30/2014 Anna A
We had Eran with DJ Jer for our wedding an he did such a great job from keeping the crowd entertained and was an awesome DJ for our dance. We had so many people compliment us on the fun night all because of Eran. Not only did he direct the event as our MC but he helped us with... Read More the planning to make sure we had everything in place. We had an amazing first dance with a cloud dance which our guests couldn't stop talking about. We still hear how much fun everyone had that night.
Best DJ in the Midwest!Reviewed on 10/30/2014
DJ Jer is possibly the best DJ out there! He was more than just a DJ to us, and was one of the main reasons our wedding was perfect! He worked with us on every aspect of our wedding from lighting to the set up and layout to the decor. He truly wanted to make our day as special... Read More as possible. He even built us an amazing display of edison bulb lights that covered the entire reception. At the reception, he made sure every thing was running smoothly, and that every one knew what their roles were. My fiance and I did not have to worry about a thing! I am so glad we hired him for our wedding, and wouldn't have changed a thing! I strongly recommend DJ Jer. He will make sure your wedding day is perfect!
Jer saves the day!Reviewed on 10/16/2014 Makayla H
My husband and I came across DJ Jer at a bridal show. His DJ's were very professional in both appearance and behavior, which impressed us from the start. We then booked a meeting to determine if that was who we wanted to go with. At the meeting, Jeremy asked many pertinent... Read More questions about how we envisioned our wedding celebration. As he said during our meeting, he wanted to be sure his company was a good fit for us, as well as we were a good fit for his company. I was impressed with the product he promised, and we booked one of his DJ's that night. His company has a website which allows you to add requests, do not play lists, timelines, important people list and a contact list. Because we were planning our wedding from out of town, I thought this would be great! We booked our DJ in January for a September wedding, and I received a text from our hired DJ a few days after booking. This was the last I heard from him. I had e-mailed him, tried calling him, messaged from the website and never heard back. We called Jer, and he assured us that our DJ would contact us closer to the week of the wedding, but we did not hear from him (this is August now). So we decided to try calling him again, and this DJ said he was not on the schedule to work for our wedding (Bride and Groom freaking out right about now), but that he would call Jeremy and figure it out. We waited a while and decided just to call Jeremy directly. He was very professional and apologetic for the confusion and offered to provide DJ/Master of Ceremonies for our reception and dance (Allelulia!!)! Jeremy was amazing! He kept the night flowing, taking a lot of stress off of us and allowing us to enjoy our night! The only reason I did not give a full 5 stars was because of the confusion, which caused some great last minute stress. This is were I can see the downside of planning so much online, some things may get lost in the shuffle between all parties involved. However, not only did things work out last minute, we were very satisfied with the product in the end and fun was had by all!! I would recommend DJ Jer's services to anyone!
Wedding receptionReviewed on 10/16/2014 Nicole V
Eran was our DJ and was great at entertaining our wedding guests. The dance floor was busy the whole time and he did a great job reading the crowd and playing what everyone wanted to hear.
Best Decision We Made!Reviewed on 10/14/2014
When planning our wedding budget, we knew we had to prioritize and put more money toward the things that mattered to us most. Having a great reception was toward the top of our list. We wanted to enjoy celebrating our wedding with our friends and family. We also wanted our... Read More guests to remember how they felt and how much fun they had. Hiring DJ Jer was the best thing we could have done. From the moment we met him, we knew he was genuinely interested in us and cared about making our reception all that we wanted it to be. With the reception in his hands, the stress was lifted from our shoulders and we were able to just enjoy our day. He went above and beyond for us and we are so thankful. We know we had a wedding reception that no one will soon forget (thanks to Jeremy)! Make your day all that hoped for with DJ Jer!
More than just a DJReviewed on 10/14/2014 Kayla W
Our entire event was planned at one location; and the coordinator there recommended DJ Jer. We met with Jeremy and knew instantly that he would make our event memorable. He was easy to work with and helped us in more ways then just playing music. Jeremy created a beautiful... Read More wedding back drop with draping and lighting. Moving in to the reception he kept our guests entertained while we were taking photos since we did not do this before hand. He was very creative with the way the introductions were done and made each dance flow into the next. The entire reception was seamless and felt like a well planned event rather than an awkward staging of dances. I couldn't be happier with the services he provided.
Amazing!!!Reviewed on 9/02/2014 Jessica M
DJ Jer officiated and DJ'd our wedding. We had numerous compliments as to how personal and reflective our ceremony was to who my husband and I are and we never would have been able to accomplish that with out him.He listened to what we wanted and ran with it and made the day... Read More amazing. I don't think we could ever thank DJ Jer enough for making our day truly one we will always remember
Great DJ Service!Reviewed on 8/21/2014 Dave F
We just used DJ Jer Events and Lighting Design for our wedding and they did a PHENOMENAL job! DJ Dan did a great job keeping the flow of the reception, providing entertainment and picked awesome dance music. We never had an empty dance floor! They were so easy to work with,... Read More they truly took time to get to know us before our wedding day and DJ Dan catered the reception and music to our style. I truly don't have one complaint. We had multiple people tell us that it was by far their favorite wedding reception. I would recommend this DJ service to anyone who loves to dance and have a great time!
Thanks to a Dream Wedding come true!!Reviewed on 8/21/2014
I will admit I was digging my heals when my daughter said she wanted this DJ that would cost around $3000-$4000. I have performed at many dances with a few bands for many years in the past, singing my butt off for 4 hours at around $1000 total per night. that being said, the... Read More only DJ's I knew played music and had some lights that flash but they didn't get paid as much as a live band either. My daughter assured me that you were not just an ordinary DJ, you are someone that does much more than just spin CD's. She continued to persuade me with telling me everything that you do, checking out your videos on your website. She assured me that I would be impressed by the end of the night and feel assured that it was worth every penny. Jeremy you ARE worth every penny!! I know my daughter felt at total ease knowing you had everything under control and she was able to focus on other important items. You helped make this ceremony a one of a kind unique experience for us. I have never seen anything like this and I know that is why this wedding was such a success. I was told many times from guests that attended that it was a nice change from the traditional wedding everyone was used to attending. There were so many compliments on the wedding it was overwhelming, it was magical!!! It was a complete honor to be able to work with you! Thank you Jeremy, that day will never be forgotten I am sure!!! Thank you for helping make my daughter's "Dream" wedding come true!! I hope you much success!!!
DJ Jer was the best ever!!!!Reviewed on 10/04/2013 Teres B
My daughter, Hillary, was married in August and DG Jer was superb!!!! The communication between him,the bride and myself (mother of the bride) was top notch and I couldn't have been more pleased. The music, lighting , presentation of the bridal party just made my night as Mom,... Read More perfect. I loved everything he did for us. The dinner music was perfection and was classic big band sound just like I wanted. Hillary made her music list online and loved every minute of it. He arrived on time and played until the wee hours of the morning. The planning of a wedding is stressful enough, but this was one thing I had zero doubt about. DJ Jer had my complete confidence and we left it all in his hands and he was wonderful. I would recommend him to anyone!!! He was prompt and very professional and enjoyed the party with us! He was worth every penny and more! Book him for your wedding!! You will not be disappointed!!! Thanks from us all!! Teresa (Mother of the Bride)
1:30AM & the dance floor's packed!Reviewed on 10/04/2013 Chastin A
Picture this.... you are in the center of a room surrounded by hundreds of your family and friends and you are dancing your first dance with the love of your life, man of your dreams, high school sweetheart, and now husband...and as if it already isn't emotional enough, at the... Read More bridge of your special song, you hear a familiar voice speaking, not just speaking, but reciting some words..then you hear another familiar voice doing the same...And then it dawns on you...as a tear rolls down your cheek...and you look into the eyes of your husband...the voices you hear are you and your husband and the words you hear are the vows that YOU said to each other earlier that day at your wedding ceremony! How absolutely amazing would that be? Well, let me tell you how amazing that is. That moment is the best moment of my life and my husband and I will remember it forever. We were so surprised and everyone was in tears. It was perfect. The wedding day went on flawlessly! The night was even better! Jeremy did such an amazing job with everything! He did the sound for our ceremony and he was the DJ for the reception. We had literally nothing to worry about the entire day. He made sure that everyone was where they needed to be at the right time. He doesn't do the traditional wedding reception as you can see, he adds his own touch. He makes everything SO much more personal, intimate, and memorable. I am still hearing from our guests how much fun they had and how wonderful our DJ was. It was 1:30 AM and we still had a hundred people on the dance floor! We simply didn't want the night to end, because it was so much fun!! The planning process was easy and SO stress free! I was able to stay organized through his website and he was ALWAYS available and prompt with any questions we had. Jeremy makes everything about YOU! You won't see his name advertised or posted anywhere in your venue. He is very professional, entertaining, and full of ideas. He uses the best sound and lighting equipment that's out there. When you have DJ Jer as your DJ, you really DO have the BEST. He has the tools to make everything perfect for you. I highly, HIGHLY recommend his services for your big day!
Mahlen/Bell WeddingReviewed on 10/04/2013 sadie m
Dj Jer came to us HIGHLY recommended from friends. These friends raved about how professional, and personable he was to work with throughout the entire process. They also spoke enthusiastically about the great party he threw them! We found all of this to be true (and then some)... Read More from the first moment we met with him. He wanted to get to know us as a couple, and wanted to understand what type of reception/dance we wanted for our guests. Dj Jer absolutley exceeded our expectations with the beautiful lighting displays, the personalized monograms, his ability to MC the entire reception, and let's not forget about the DANCE! Our #1 goal was to throw a great party for our guests...and Dj Jer delivered. Our dance floor was packed all night long!HIRE DJ JER!!!
DJ Jer Events and Lighting DesignReviewed on 10/04/2013
My husband and I got married about two months ago and had the honor of having Jeremy as our Master of Ceremonies. He was absolutely amazing to work with. DJ Jer has an awesome website that you get signed up for, where you are able to keep track of all your wedding information.... Read More This was a very helpful site for me. And if you ever have questions for the DJ all you have to do is send out a message on there and they will get it quickly. On this website you are able to make song requests, name your wedding party, pick how you want to enter, and pretty much all the information you need for the wedding day. My favorite feature was the schedule of the wedding day, and then you can even print the schedule and give it to the wedding party. A couple of days before the wedding we met with Jeremy to go over all of the final details. This meeting was awesome because he really knew what we needed to get done. He went through everyone in the wedding parties name to make sure he was saying them correctly. Helped us narrow down the music selection so it was the music we wanted to be played. We talked about lighting and how we wanted them to be set up. Jeremy really eased my anxiety by helping us go through those final details. I really had no idea how I wanted the lights to be set up, but he gave us great ideas that worked perfectly. We also had Jeremy make us a monogram for behind the head table and it was amazing. My favorite part from the reception was when my husband and I were having our first dance. Jeremy told us he had a surprise for us, but I had no idea what that meant. While we were dancing the floor was filled with smoke and it looked like we were dancing on the clouds. It was such a memorable experience, one I will never forget. Jeremy helped our day to be so special; he put so much thought into the little details. Jeremy and his other staff make sure your day runs smoothly, and they truly care about each couple they work with. I couldn't thank him enough that night for what an amazing night he created for my husband and I. I highly recommend DJ Jer to who ever are looking for an amazing DJ.
Amazing DJ!Reviewed on 10/02/2013 Mallory Z
DJ Jer did an amazing job at our reception and dance! He made sure the reception moved along. During our cake cutting he told the guests we were cutting the cake and also told a special story. The cake cutter we used is a family tradition to use at all the weddings. I'm not... Read More positive how he found out about the tradition but it was an awesome surprise as my grandmother started the tradition and she is no longer with us. For our first dance he made sure to get all the little kids off the dance floor and he had them sit in a line and watch us. The dance floor was packed throughout the whole dance! I had several people tell me that DJ Jer was one of the best they've heard! He had twists on wedding dance traditions that made it an awesome night! We are so glad we chose him to DJ our wedding!
By far, the best!!Reviewed on 10/02/2013 Kayla O
Hiring DJ Jer was one of the smartest things we did for our wedding. He is not just a DJ, he was more like a master of ceremonies for our reception. He announced everything as it was happening and made sure to get the guests attention. I cannot tell you how many weddings I have... Read More been to where I completely miss the first dances and the cake cutting simply because I had no idea they were happening. Jeremy is so talented at what he does and helped us so much with the planning process of our reception. He was basically a wedding planner for us. He even gave us some great decor ideas other than just uplighting. Our dance floor was literally jam packed the entire night. I could barely fit on the dance floor with my ballgown dress! Everyone still tells us that they have never been to a more fun wedding! I definitely give DJ Jer a lot of credit for this! He knew all the songs to play to keep everyone moving and on the dance floor! He also set the perfect mood for our cocktail hour. My best friend also used DJ Jer for her wedding a few months after mine and he nailed it once again. Second most fun wedding I have ever attended(second to only mine, of course)! You literally cannot go wrong by choosing DJ Jer! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ! He is, by far, the best!
Amazing experience!Reviewed on 9/16/2013
We had Matt, one of the guys on DJ Jers team. The entire process (from meeting with Jeremy about the packages to the last song played) was a great experience. Matt did the music for our ceremony also and showed up in plenty of time for a sound check and kept my stress level low!... Read More He played all the songs we wanted and made sure to include the polka songs just for my parents! The dance floor was full all night. He had a great copy cat kiss idea for the reception and it was a hit. A lot of times I can't understand DJs at wedding but we had no issues. He was a true professional and I'm very happy about our decision to go with him.
DJ JerReviewed on 8/09/2013 Cassie R
We had the awesome opportunity to have Dan, from DJ Jer's team, DJ our wedding. They were so much more than a DJ company for us, they also handled the lighting, draping, minor freak outs before the wedding (no bride has those), and any little question we had along the way; and... Read More they handled it all brilliantly! We could not have asked for a better experience, we have gotten nothing but compliments on Dan and how respectful, conscious and awesome he is! The second we pulled into the parking lot of the country club, we didn't have to worry about a thing, Dan took care of it all and for that we will forever be grateful! He kept the party going all night and the room looked fantastic! Ugh, I could go on and on forever, but I won't! There is no other place I would send anybody I know! Thank you Dan and Jeremy for making our day absolutely perfect!
NickReviewed on 7/30/2013 Ashley K
We had DJ Nick at our wedding and we were thrilled with the service we received! I can't say enough about Jer and his team. I didn't have to worry about anything because he ran the show and kept things on track all night. It was flawless. Thanks nick!!!
Great Experience!Reviewed on 7/16/2013 Megan R
DJ Jer helped make our wedding so special! Not once did we have to worry about a single detail of the days events and that was thanks to Jeremy. He was great at making sure to review our music preferences so that all the music played at our reception was just perfect. Plus he... Read More really knew how to handle and lead a crowd the entire night. 100% recommend.
Ceremony and Reception DJReviewed on 7/16/2013 April J
This DJ was great! He set up for our ceremony and the reception. The music for the ceremony went off nearly without any problems (but I couldn't expect it to be perfect, being that he had to set up all this electronic equipment on the shore of the lake!) We got married in NW... Read More Iowa and the DJ came all the way to us, and charged us hardly anything for travel expense! He played wonderful music at the reception, everyone had a great time! People were dancing SO much that we actually ended the dance an hour early because everyone was so tired! I would hire DJ Jer again in a heart beat!
Perfect!!!Reviewed on 6/30/2013 Laura S
We had Matt as the DJ and he was beyond fantastic!! Highly recommended!! He was fun to work with and kept the party rolling along. Everyone kept saying it was the best wedding party they had ever been to! I kept thinking 'what are you going to blame for people leaving the party... Read More early?' The Flowers? Spend your money on a great DJ!!!!

About MeHi~
There isn't a particular genre that I am interested in. I think my strengths are formal wear and athletic type shots. I am very good at losing weight if my measurements are too big, and I could always curl my toes with my big feet.
I am half Asian and German so I was not really sure what to mark on race...maybe they should have a "Euro-Asian" but then that's a play on words. I can get a long with just about anybody and have a really open mind on types of work.

Dry hair tend to be thin, rough & damaged and with split ends. All these problems are due to dryness and to know about the reasons or cause of dryness is very important. We are telling you some causes of dryness.
Common Causes of Dry Hair:
• Malnutrition and lack of nutrient in your daily dietary plan is one of the causes of dry hair.
• The exposure of hair to sunrays makes your hair dry and polluted air is equally injurious to the healthy hair.
• Other reasons of dry hair are unhealthy environmental conditions such as flume and pollution.
• Minerals and chlorine present in water that you used for washing your hair can be the reason.
• Excess of calcium makes your hair dry, weak and this may leads to dry scalp.
• Inactive thyroid and parathyroid is one of the other reasons of dryness.
Home remedies:
For your help some home remedies are written below;
• If your hair are dry then use lukewarm coconut oil, it is best for you. Massage your hair with coconut oil for half hour, leave your hair for 2 hours and then wash your hair.
• Take some sika kai beans, 6 cups of water and boil those beans in water for sufficient time. Instead of shampoo use this boiled water to wash your hair.
• Take an egg, lemon juice and one Ts of coconut oil; mix all these ingredients, apply this mixture on hair roots and then wash your hair with sika kai. After that mix lemon juice in warm water and wash your hair with it. It is very helpful to reduce dandruff.
• Hair trimming is also very important to protect your hair. Trimming helps to avoid split ends and you should trim your hair after every 6 – 8 weeks.
Try to avoid products with harmful chemicals and alcohol. Chemical based products are one of the major reasons of dry & damaged hair.

Easy fix
I'm so happy an update was made, I waited so long. The update is great besides a few problems.
The biggest problem is the ratings-lots of players have 2 dunks and three point shots when they definitely deserve better. Eric Gordon has a 3 dribble which makes him impossible to use. Some players, like Wesley and lebron are extremely overpowered. also, some players that were previously in the game that have declined in real life like gerald Wallace and paul pierce have the same ratings. This should be very easy to fix, if you can't, just let us edit the ratings. Another problem is the best players aren't set to start, so when you play domination mode, you aren't going against the bests competition. For example in a domination mode against the thunder , instead of playing their best players Kevin durant and russel Westbrook, we play Kendrick Perkins and westbrook. Some key players like klay thompson, Chandler parsons, and Jimmy butler should be added. James harden should be given a shot form like manu ginoblis. If these problems are fixed it would be an amazing game, and it should be really easy to fix too. Some Numbers are wrong and some players are on the wrong team or are not even in the NBA and are on a team
(Probably write in description you need to reinstall game to play, or just fix that)
I absolutely love NBA Jam. It is by far my most beloved game available on the appstore, but it desperately needs to be updated to keep it alive and fresh. All you have to do is update the rosters to what they are currently, and optimize the game for Iphone 5 and 6, then will you have an even more solidified fanbase willing to pay for the game and its features, just dont rip anyone off. (HEY EA THANKS FOR THE ROSTER UPDATE! Barely... This game still has a plethora of issues that shouldve been addressed. I know this isnt a realistic basketball game in any sense, but are you kidding me? Chasedown blocks on breakaways when the other team is all the way on the opposite side of the court? C'mon thats stupid. Also, what makes the opposing team get so much better in the second half? You can be completely denolishing a team in the first half and then theyll wreck your 30 and up point lead and make the most ridiculous comebacks... EVERY SINGLE TIME! Also, I'm pretty urked that I had to delete the game and lose ALL of my progress, which was most of the players, priveleges, and balls unlocked, just to simply start playing this game. Awful update to an amazing game, thanks EA for continuously being sub-par to every other company out there. Have some respect for the fans of your games. I understand youre a business but christ youre a bunch of jerks.)
👍🏀👍🏀 there ain't no cure for stupid👍🏉👍🏉
Do you see all the games and different platforms🏀 EA has to continuously update! yeah it's been three years since this game has been updated🏀 but it's very polished🏀 and when they do come out with an update🏀 you give them one star🏀 you act like they've done it on purpose🏀 No wonder they wait so long before updating a game🏀 Because when they do several hundred idiots give it a one star🏀 Don't forget there are several different versions of iOS and different hardware configurations🏀and what!...they have to get this game to work perfectly,Or you're going to give it one star🏀developers like EA🏀 help make life a little more enjoyable🏀By developing outstanding games like this one🏀 Games that you can play in the palm of your hand🏀 and when you're done put in your pocket🏀I could go on and on but people like you just won't get it.

John Slattery stayed busy in the 17 months since the last original episode of "Mad Men" appeared on AMC. By the time the new season of "Mad Men" premieres at 8 p.m. Sunday, 525 days will have passed since the airing of the fourth season finale, "Tomorrowland."
Slattery sympathizes with viewers who barely remember what was happening in those long-ago episodes.
"It was unfortunate," Slattery said of the production delay in a recent telephone conference call with journalists from across the country. "In my own life, I did a couple of films, hung out with my family, lived my life, secure in the knowledge that it would come back. I always felt that it wasn't finished."
The public clash between "Mad Men" creator/show-runner Matthew Weiner and AMC concerned Weiner's pay, the show's running time and overall production budget. In an interview with The New York Times earlier this month, Weiner admitted he had quit at one point during the negotiations.
"Yes, I quit, at the negotiation," Weiner said. "During the negotiation. And in the end, everything worked out."
Slattery said the show wouldn't be what it is without Weiner, and he's happy to be back, working with the rest of the cast.
"It wouldn't be nearly the show it is without him (Weiner)," he said. "Not even close. It's always good to come back. We really always enjoy each other's company. A couple scenes and you're right back in it."
Thanks to the "Mad Men" hiatus, Slattery had some extra time on his hands and was able to star in the upcoming independent drama "In Our Nature," in which he portrays a man who, along with his girlfriend (played by Gabrielle Union), spends a weekend at a vacation home with his estranged son and the son's girlfriend. "In Our Nature" premiered last week at the South By Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas.
Being cast in the starring role of "In Our Nature" might not have happened without his "Mad Men" fame, but that also comes with a price: forever being known as Roger Sterling.
The 25-year acting vet got his start as Pvt. Dylan Leeds in the 1988 television series, "Dirty Dozen: The Series." From there, Slattery landed TV roles on "Ed," "Desperate Housewives," and high-profile films such as "Charlie Wilson's War," "Iron Man 2," and 2011's "The Adjustment Bureau" with Matt Damon and Emily Blunt.
Slattery has even gotten into directing, something that happened on the set of "Mad Men."

Why you think you would be a good fit with the Paragonian Knights?:
I think games are more fun when you play them with a fun group of creative people and from what I have read the Paragonian Knights are a fun and creative group. I feel I would be a good fit with your group for a number of reasons. I am a good natured and easy-going person who gets along well with most people. I enjoy helping others when I can and I have a good sense of humor so even if I can't help with the success factor, I can at least contribute to the fun factor. I noticed that a number of the Knights seem to enjoy writing stories and that you are trying to fire up some role playing. I enjoy writing (and reading!) stories and while I have less RP experience than writing experience I think that would be fun to be involved in as well. Thank you for reading my application and look forward to hearing from you.

Freshman Omar Calhoun scored 15 points, including three three-pointers in the deciding second-half run, and host Connecticut beat No. 6 Syracuse, 66-58, last night in the last scheduled game between the national powers.
Syracuse (20-4) will play next season in the Atlantic Coast Conference while Connecticut will stay in the realigned Big East.
There is no chance they would meet again this postseason as Connecticut (17-6) has been banned from the Big East and NCAA tournaments as part of a punishment for failing to post a passable APR score.
Duke 73, North Carolina 68: Mason Plumlee had 18 points and 11 rebounds for host No. 2 Duke. The Blue Devils (22-2) shot 44 percent -- 52 percent after halftime and won their sixth in eight meetings in college basketball's fiercest rivalry.
College basketball
Miami 74, Florida St. 68: Shane Larkin scored 13 of his 22 points in the final 71/2 minutes to help visiting third-ranked Miami claim its 12th straight victory. Miami (20-3) became the first team to start the league season 11-0 in a dozen years.
Smith leads SJU women
Shenneika Smith recorded her fifth double-double of the season as she scored a game-high 19 points with 12 rebounds from the foul line as St. John's held on to a 65-59 road victory over USF. Smith added 12 rebounds.
Kentucky loses Noel
Kentucky received the news it dreaded when freshman forward Nerlens Noel was declared out for the season with a torn ligament in his left knee. Noel tore his ACL on Tuesday night in a loss at Florida, and the forward will have surgery in the next two or three weeks. -- AP

What makes this really interesting for me? I went through CNN, ABC, MSNBC, Washington Post, NYTimes and could find NO articles about it from those publications. A lot of the independent pubs are reporting it. Reuters didn't even have any articles on it.

Are Microwave Ovens Safe?

Artwork: Nathan Bebb
Today we're going to walk on the wild side and eat some microwaved food. You've never really lived until you've lived dangerously, so let's put our lives on the line by testing the claims that microwaved food and water are toxic.
First, a little background info. Microwave ovens work by passing microwave-band electromagnetic radiation over the food at 2.5 GHz. Molecules that are electric dipoles, of which water is the most efficient, rotate back and forth in this field. The friction between them creates heat. This is called dielectric heating. More complex molecules, which are not as clearly dipolar, are not affected. It's an efficient and clean way to heat food.
I first learned about the claims of danger from a chain email sent by a friend of mine who tends to believe anything that's anti-establishment or on the fringe. A few Internet searches of some keywords reveal a huge number of holistic, organic, and other alternative web sites repeating these same claims. Just to give you a flavor of how far-out these stories are, give a listen to this list of "Ten Reasons to Throw Out Your Microwave Oven". As I read these off, notice that not one of them makes a specific or testable claim; they are all merely scary sentences constructed using scientific sounding words. And, as you can tell from the brief description of how microwaves work, few of these have any remote connection to fact:
- Continually eating food processed from a microwave oven causes long term — permanent — brain damage by "shorting out" electrical impulses in the brain, de-polarizing or de-magnetizing the brain tissue.
- The human body cannot metabolize the unknown byproducts created in microwaved food.
- Male and female hormone production is shut down and/or altered by continually eating microwaved foods.
- The effects of microwaved food by-products are permanent within the human body.
- Minerals, vitamins, and nutrients of all microwaved food is reduced or altered so that the human body gets little or no benefit, or the human body absorbs altered compounds that cannot be broken down.
- The minerals in vegetables are altered into cancerous free radicals when cooked in microwave ovens.
- Microwaved foods cause stomach and intestinal cancer tumors. This may explain the rapidly increased rate of colon cancer in America.
- The prolonged eating of microwaved foods causes cancerous cells to increase in human blood.
- Continual ingestion of microwaved food causes immune system deficiencies through lymph gland and blood serum alterations.
- Eating microwaved food causes loss of memory, concentration, emotional instability, and a decrease of intelligence.
One clue that might encourage you to regard these claims with some skepticism is that fact that ever since microwave ovens came on the market in 1954, not one person has ever exhibited a single symptom of any illness resulting from having eaten microwaved food, or from having used water that had been microwaved. Burns are the exception, but burns are caused by heat from any source; that's not unique to microwaves. But if you believe the claims by the anti-microwave fringe, whom I call the Microwave Militia, practically everyone on the planet should be gravely ill with cancer, radiation poisoning, malnutrition, and mental retardation.
The same chain email, and many of these web sites, also state that giving a plant water that has been microwaved will kill it. There is even a series of unsourced photographs of two plants, one of which withers and dies while its sibling flourishes. The awesome web site Snopes.com tested this particular claim. They took three plants of each of several types, and watered one with tap water, one with water that had been boiled over a stove, and the third with water that had been boiled in a microwave. Unlike whoever took the pictures that often accompany the chain email, Snopes actually controlled for other variables. I'm sure you won't have to stretch your imagination very far to guess how the plants did. They all did exactly the same. Snopes has complete details and photographs on their web site. Somehow these plants managed to escape the guaranteed death sentence that believers say microwaved water carries.
This whole paranoid suggestion is based on the presumption that a microwave oven somehow changes or poisons water. If true, wouldn't you be able to perform some kind of a test on water, and see if it has ever been microwaved? Water is H2O, whether it's ever been microwaved or not. But here's an even deal for you. If you truly believe that H2O carries some permanent damage as a result of being microwaved, and that it's possible to detect this damage through any means you choose, there's a million dollars in it for you. As you may know, the Skeptoid podcast is a qualifying media outlet for the James Randi Educational Foundation's Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge. I'll walk it through for you and I'll become your biggest cheerleader. Are microwaves really a danger to humanity? If so, it would be immoral for you to do anything else but take that million dollars and use it to educate and save the world.
Probably the most flagrant error that the Microwave Militia propagates is that microwaved food or water contains what they call "radiolytic compounds" — new chemicals created by the tearing apart of molecules in a microwave. These new chemicals are said to be dangerous, cancerous, radioactive, unnatural, or otherwise harmful. This is a demonstrably false claim. Radiolysis, which is a real process and which the Militia believes creates these radiolytic compounds, is the process by which molecules are dissociated under ionizing radiation. Water can be dissociated under ionizing alpha particle bombardment, which is a natural process. Microwave radiation, as mentioned earlier, is not ionizing radiation. It is thus scientifically incapable of causing radiolysis. The differences between microwave radiation and alpha radiation are huge. With the claim that microwaves cause dissociation of water molecules, the Microwave Militia is either deliberately lying, or they are grossly ignorant of the very subject on which they claim superior expertise.
Swiss vegetarianism advocate Dr. Hans Hertel is perhaps the most vocal of the Microwave Militia fringe group. He is quoted in virtually every book written on alternative foods or holistic health. A top-selling book on Amazon called Perfect Balance, by an author known simply as "Atreya", writes:
In spite of the political pressure, Hertel has continued his studies and won the support of many other scientists in Europe for his findings and methodology. Hertel concludes that microwaved food alters the blood chemistry of people who eat it. The manufacturing companies are trying to keep this information suppressed through court orders.
Dr. Hertel seems to have managed to gain this claimed following even without producing the most basic of information that prospective groupies should request: a specific, testable claim about what this change in blood chemistry might be; or a single victim. He is best known for his most publicized test. In 1989, he and seven fellow vegetarians confined themselves to a hotel and consumed only milk and vegetables, prepared in different ways, for two months. When he emerged, he announced his results: That microwave ovens cause cancer and degenerative diseases, despite no cases of cancer or illness among he or his group. His research, if you want to call it that, was never peer reviewed or published in any reputable journal, and yet it has become the foundational magnum opus of the anti-microwave agenda.
You'll also find that there are a large number of studies out finding changes to the nutritional content of food that has been microwaved, and the Microwave Militia loves to point to these. Chemical reactions happen whenever any food is cooked, so this has more to do with cooking than with the cooking method. Moreover, such changes are generally well below any perceptible threshold, and have always been found to be safe.
The Microwave Militia also makes claims such as microwave ovens are illegal in Russia or other parts of Europe. This is just a straight-up lie. Microwaves are perfectly legal in Russia and everywhere else in Europe. In fact I was not able to find a single country in the world that bans microwave ovens. They're regulated, of course, like all electric appliances; but regulation should not be mischaracterized as a ban.
So what's the sum total of our evidence? Billions of people have been eating microwaved food for decades, with no ill effects, and no plausible expectation of ill effects. The best evidence put forward by anti-microwave activists is based on shameless lies and irresponsibly bad science. Thus, a truly skeptical process leads us to the conclusion that there's nothing at all wrong with microwaving your food. However, I'm drinking coffee right now made from microwaved water, and it's entirely possible that this has caused profound mental aberration, and made me spout nonsense.

Here is an interesting little clue. A friend of mine who was raised and has always lived on a farm eating fresh every day started using a microwave about 15 years ago. It was such a convenience. She loved it. Last year she cut her leg while working in the garden. It will not heal and she has been to every specialist and wound care doctor around this entire year. Finally, she found a wound care doctor who ran some other tests on her and found that she has almost no nutrients left in her body. Now they are trying a new vitamin and mineral therapy and she is doing better.
Plus, she gave up her microwave and went back to plain old fire.
Our idea was this.......if a microwave can kill bacteria how does it differentiate bad flora from good flora. My complaint about microwaves even before this was that it made food taste bad. I have cooked since my teens and now I'm in my 60's. Microwaves produce such a low quality in taste, texture, and appearance. Why bother? If your tastebuds mean so little to you why not just take supplements?
It even does a lousy job on popcorn. You know this to be true if you've even bought any at the movies lately.
With all of the evidence debunking the nonsense that microwaves do something dangerous to food as shown in this article, my 'flabber' is 'gasted' when I see some of the comments posted in response.
The evidence stated in the article is completely ignored. A simple understanding of how microwaves work prove that nothing 'strange' happens to food. When you rub your hands together to warm them up, you are demonstrating exactly how a microwave cooks food. Vibration or frictions creates warmth. When the warmth reaches a certain tempreture, food cooks.
The comment above: " Our idea was this.......if a microwave can kill bacteria how does it differentiate bad flora from good flora, " shows the general lack of common sense when this subject is addressed. The microwave doesn't kill bacteria, the heat does ! So, yes. . . heat kills good and bad bacteria. That's why surgercal instruments are heated. . .to KILL BACTERIA.
If microwaves killed ALL bacteria [ flora ], then our microwave towers transmitting our cell phone signals would kill ALL bacteria with which they come into contact. Soon, therefore, all bacteria [ flora ] would be destroyed and we would all die. Duh !
Come on people, show some common sense !
american cancer society state you are at risk using microwave ovens !!
to ster,lancaster. the american cancer society site says they do NOT. see the paragraph in "What causes cancer?"
Oh my...people just do not like to admit when they have been wrong about something, even when it's good news that you've been wrong. I guess we should all listen up to the guy from Africa who remembers a time when cancer was a new disease, the person who cooks on the stove because that doesn't kill the "good bacteria" and the guy who completely missed the word "not" in the link he provided to bolster his case.
REPLY TO: Daniel Gautreau, wainfleet ontario + InfoSeeker, London
the link:
"If RF radiation is absorbed in large enough amounts by materials containing water, such as food, fluids, and body tissues, it can produce heat. This can lead to burns and tissue damage. Although RF radiation does not cause cancer by damaging DNA in cells the way ionizing radiation does, there has been concern that some forms of non-ionizing radiation might have biological effects that could result in cancer in some circumstances."
and hey Infoseeker, i did not make a case so much as provided a link. This time round I have even cut and pasted a paragraph from the site for you too. Can you read the last sentence and do you understand it?
I have a friend who has brittle diabetes (has had it most of her life), rheumatoid arthritis and a bronchial condition that often lands her in hospital with a collapsed lung. She is 73 and has had a microwave ever since they came out. She lives alone. Without it she would be in permanent (and very expensive) professional care. Elderly people rely heavily on microwaves. It is far too easy for them to burn themselves. On the basis of all the scaremongering swamping the Internet, my friend should be dead from cancer long ago.
"...there has been concern that some forms of non-ionizing radiation might have biological effects that could result in cancer in some circumstances."
This sentence doesn't really say much of anything. Only that there is concern that some forms (not even specified) may cause some effects in some circumstances (both of which is unknown). It's sounds to me more of a polite nod to people of the opposing beliefs.
reply to Connie:
"Plus, she gave up her microwave and went back to plain old fire.
Our idea was this.......if a microwave can kill bacteria how does it differentiate bad flora from good flora."
Please tell me...how does fire distinguish between bad and good flora?
The reason why fried food tastes better is because of the caramelisation of sugars in the food, which gives it that nice brown color and which happens at high temperatures only.
Microwaves do not reach those temperatures. They are perfectly suitable for heating up things that do not require those temperatures to be prepared. Using a microwave to prepare meals that do require those temperatures is simply using the wrong tool for the job. It's no surprise that the result won't be tasty. Just like a screwdriver will do a bad job at pushing a nail into a wooden board.
When used for the things that it's suitable for, a microwave will produce results identical to those of conventional cooking. E.g. to heat up pre-made soup. It matters not if you do that in a microwave or in a pot.

The number of basking sharks recorded in Britain's seas could be increasing, decades after being protected from commercial hunting in the late 20th century. The most comprehensive analysis ever undertaken of basking shark sightings in UK waters, by the University of Exeter, the Marine Conservation Society (MCS), Cornwall Wildlife Trust (CWT) and Wave Action, is published in the journal Marine Ecology Progress Series.
The northeast Atlantic hosted an extensive commercial fishery for basking sharks, mainly in Norway, Ireland and Scotland, where more than 81,000 were killed between 1952 and 2004, hunted largely for their liver oil. Large-scale hunting ended in the UK in the middle of the twentieth century, though it continued at low levels in Norway until 2000.
Protected under UK legislation since 1998 and more recently under international conservation agreements, basking sharks are regularly seen off the coast of the UK during the summer, but very little is known about where and how they live for the rest of the year. The research team set about understanding patterns in summer basking shark sightings in UK waters. They analysed 20-years-worth of data from public sightings - a total of 11,781 records - from databases generated by the Marine Conservation Society and Cornwall Wildlife Trust. They combined these data with records from dedicated boat-based basking shark surveys to complete the largest study of its kind.
Their analysis shows a rise in the number of sightings from the 1980s through to the 2000s. It also suggests an increase in the proportion of medium and large-sized animals, suggesting an increase in the number of older sharks. Basking shark populations are believed to recover slowly from over-exploitation due to their slow growth to maturity and the relatively few offspring they produce in comparison to other fish species. These new results show that long-term protection may well be paying off, with UK basking shar

Bordados Mazahuas Group
Doña Soledad says that she is 59 years old. Unfortunately, she is already a widow since her husband died a short time ago. She raises and sells animals, such as chickens and sheep. Doña Soledad has been in this business for 31 years and began working because she wanted to help her husband cover the household expenses such as education, food, shoes, and other needs. Her greatest difficulty is the lack of feed, such as fodder and corn, since these products are very expensive due to drought and the lack of rain required to achieve a good crop harvest. Doña Soledad says that one time she had to withdraw her savings from the bank in order to buy feed for her animals. However, this did not discourage her at all since her goal is to buy a calf that she can keep at her house. Even though her sales have done very well, she still wants a calf. She also explains that a loan has been a great help to her on several occasions when buying fodder, corn, and feed. When she sells, her profits are used to buy food, shoes, and clothing for herself and her daughter who is still dependent on her.
Regarding the other members, they will invest in their respective business activities:
• Olivia and Juliana will buy chickens.
• Don Mario, the only man in the group, will buy sheep.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

The Rocket Scout (Japanese: 勧誘のばあさん Solicitor Old Lady) is a character of the day in Dues and Don'ts.
Relationships with other members
In Dues and Don'ts, the Scout re-recruits Jessie, James, and Meowth back into Team Rocket when the trio find out that their membership had lapsed. Initially, she presents them with Delibird in a cage with a recorded message, claiming that she had "caught ever so many of this Pokémon," so she was "leaving it here" for them to catch. Promptly after their defeating of it, she asked them to join the real Team, as they were clearly "fake, phony frauds". After an evaluation of their membership cards, she informed them of how they had not paid the necessary dues and had been booted out of Team Rocket altogether. After they decide to rejoin, she informs them that they must defeat a group of trainers before joining and, coincidentally, selects the twerps as reasonable candidates. After Jessie and James's defeat, she decided that they could still join, as the Team was suffering from a lack of members.
This Delibird belongs to the Rocket Scout, but it seems to belong more to the team than to her. This is due to the fact that it follows Jessie, James and Meowth very often to collect the money that they owe. Delibird has also been seen giving them other tasks, as well.

Been climbing seriously for a good few years and still fully obsessed; I really need to go bouldering more! However big Mountain route are top of the list. I really enjoy craging near my limit, but equally enjoy a day of easy rock if there's some quality rock, good company or history involved. Anything in winter good but always enjoy the less frequented venues. Had a few trips to the Alps both ski touring and mountaineering and loving it. Also looking to try my hand at some expedition style mountaineering and I'm scheming for the future.
I enjoy anything to do with the hills (was brought up in Newtonmore so pine for them when I'm in Edinburgh) this usually involves going down them fast as I can, mountain biking and snowboarding are my other main sports. Gradually mellowing as I get older though and I�ve started to enjoy the odd plod as well.

West Lakeview news
West Lakeview, a part of the North Center community area, is one of those neighborhoods that seems to sprawl hither and yon depending on who's using the term. It's also, less frequently, spelled as West Lake View. West Lakeview's boundaries are Diversey Ave (2800 N) to Addison St (3600 N), and Ravenswood Ave (1800 W) to the Chicago River.

A nearly pristine example of the very rare, pocket edition of Anthony Finley's important American Atlas. Beginning in the late eighteenth century, Philadelphia was the leading American cartographic center of North and South America. With its sophisticated scientific community, and the large population of engravers, artists, publishers, and colorists, the vast majority of the best American maps and atlases were issued in the city. In the 1820s, Anthony Finley was one of the dominate Philadelphia cartographic publishers, producing a series of fine atlases that were good examples of the quality that American publishers were then able to obtain.
The atlas contains 13 maps of North America, a map of the West Indies (on the same sheet as Florida), and one of South America. The maps were drawn by D.H. Vance and engraved by J.H. Young and they are printed on thin but strong, banknote paper and folded into this "pocket" edition of an atlas which first appeared in 1826. The map of North America is dated 1827, indicating that it appeared the following year. The regional maps generally show three states each, and the detail contained in the maps is prodigious. Each county is indicated with a contrasting pastel shade, and towns, rivers, lakes, roads, and other topographical features are clearly and precisely depicted. Statistical tables accompany most of the maps. Finley was very concerned to depict as up-to-date information as was possible, and thus his maps present an accurate picture of the world in the early decades of the nineteenth century. $21,000

Conrad Malte-Brun A New General Atlas Exhibiting The Five Great Divisions of the globe. [from front label "…according to the Geography of M. Malte Brun."] Philadelphia: John Grigg, 1829. Quarto. Original three-quarters leather, with original paper label. Complete with 40 engraved maps. Full original hand color. Most maps with some slight spotting. Otherwise, crisp and attractive maps. Cf. Phillips: 751, 775; Rumsey: 287.
From 1827 to 1829, Philadelphia publisher Anthony Finley produced an American version of Conrad Malte-Brun's famous Universal Geography. Malte-Brun was a Danish geographer who produced a number of influential works which were copied and printed by numerous publishers in different countries. To illustrate the geography, in 1828 Finley added an atlas of 40 maps based on Malte-Brun, which was then reissued the following year by John Grigg. Many of the non-American maps are based on maps by British cartographer Aaron Arrowsmith, but the American maps are Finley's original work, engraved by J.H. Young. The map of the mid-west, "Western States & Territories," is interesting for its depiction of the Michigan Territory and "North West Territory Attached To Michigan." The map of Mexico is of note for its depiction of "Texas or New Estremaduia," for this map was issued near the beginning of the tensions between Austin's colonists and the Mexican government that would lead to the Texas revolution. $2,500

Family Cabinet Atlas. Philadelphia: Carey & Lea, 1832. First American edition. 12mo. Rebacked with full leather, using original boards. Complete with 50 engraved maps and charts. With occasional foxing, but generally crisp and clean interior. Phillips: 762; Rumsey: 3770
With the increased output of atlases in Europe in the early nineteenth century, new formats were tried, including smaller atlases intended to be useful and affordable to middle class families. In 1831, Thomas Starling issued his Family Cabinet Atlas in 12mo format, with 50 maps of all parts of the world. In Philadelphia a decade before, Mathew Carey's firm was taken over by Henry Charles Carey, Mathew's son, and Isaac Lea, his son-in-law. The year after Starling's atlas appeared, Carey & Lea issued their own edition of the Family Cabinet Atlas, which was "Revised, Corrected, and Enlarged." The maps were copied from the British atlas, but were re-engraved, and two new maps of the United States were added. There is a single map of the United States and those parts of Mexico presently part of the U.S., and two regional maps. Also included is a map of Mexico including today's Texas and the southwestern part of the U.S. Of further interest in the atlas is the inclusion of a table of place names and locations with each map. $1,000
M. Malte-Brun. A System of Universal Geography or A Description of All The Parts Of the World... With Additions and Corrections by James G. Percival. Boston: Samuel Walker, 1834. Three volumes.

A handsome set of Malte-Brun's Universal Geography, issued in Boston in 1834. The erudite text covers all aspects of the entire world and includes numerous tables of various sorts. Equally impressive is the extensive collection of over 70 engraved plates. Among these are maps of countries and continents and views of different parts of the globe, with a selection of 13 engravings of North American scenes. $750
Thomas T. Smiley, A.M., M.D.. Smiley's Atlas for the use of schools and families. A New Atlas, intended to illustrate the Encyclopedia of Geography. Philadelphia: Grigg & Elliot, 1839.

ot* cheap recipes?
3 cabbage soup
3 heads green cabbage
3 cans mushrooms pieces and stems
3 lbs ground beef or turkey
3 cans crushed tomatoes
3 onions (diced)
6 -8 cups water
Brown ground beef in a skilled. Then rough chop cabbage and place in a large stockpot with all other ingredients and browned meat. Cook on medium low until cabbage is soft stirring occasionally ( about an hour). Season with salt and pepper as desired.
***we use red hot to give it a little spice. You can also add whatever frozen or fresh veggies you have on hand to liven it up. We usually add carrots and chopped okra. It can also be served over rice for a change. So even though the base soup is the same it doesn't get boring.
crockpot chicken tacos are always good, and it makes a lot so there's always leftovers that you can freeze for another night. we usually get dinner, lunch the next day, then have some to freeze.
You just put chicken into a crockpot (I like it thawed so it doesn't get all watery and you can trim the fat easier), a packet of taco seasoning and a jar of salsa. We like to use the green salsa verde, but my mom has made it w/the regular chunky salsa.
You could probably get away with 4-5 good sized breasts. I've made it once with just over a pound of chicken tenders and just used around half a packet of seasoning.
We've had pancakes for dinner a few times. You can always eat some fruit with it (either canned or fresh).
Tacos are inexpensive. You don't always need a bunch of toppings. Half the time we only use cheese and sour cream. If we remember to get lettuce and tomato then we'll eat that with it.
Salad with grilled chicken (you could use half a breast per person).
Potatoes and eggs...chopped up potatoes cooked til browned on the stove, then add in eggs with cheese, cook until eggs are done. You could even add in green pepper or some onion.
TTC #1 since Jan 2012
potato soup
I serve with biscuits. I leave out the chives. Vegies are always a cheap option like this week Ingles has potatoes for $2 for a 5lb bag. You can also cut this recipe in half if its to much for your family. I also use real bacon bits I keep for salad inplace of the fresh bacon if I dont have any.
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 large onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
4 cans (10 3/4 ounces each) Condensed Cream of Potato Soup
4 soup cans of milk
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 large potatoes (about 1 pound), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 3 cups)
1/2 cup chopped fresh chives
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (about 8 ounces)
Stir the bacon, onion, soup, milk, black pepper, potatoes and 1/4 cup chives in a 6-quart slow cooker.
Cover and cook on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours or until the potatoes are tender. (LOW for 6 hours also worked for me!)
Add the cheese and stir until the cheese is melted. Sprinkle with the remaining chives

These unjustly neglected works, among the most enjoyable of Mark Twain's novels, follow Tom, Huck, and Jim as they travel across the Atlantic in a balloon, then down the Mississippi to help solve a mysterious crime. Both with the original illustrations by Dan Beard and A.B. Frost. "Do you reckon Tom Sawyer was satisfied after all them adventures? No, he wasn't. It only just pisoned him for more." So Huck declares at the start of these once-celebrated but now little-known sequels to his own adventures. Tom, Huck, and Jim set sail to Africa in a futuristic air balloon, where they survive encounters with lions, robbers, and fleas and see some of the world's greatest wonders.
