Eddie Izzard would be so proud of you guys...
The cake is a lie.
ahh, totally one of my favorite Eddie Izzard moments.
"mmm...cake please!"
This is one of my favorite Eddie Izzard bits.
In honor of an 8-bit tee, you may as well show the lego version Cake or Death.
Izzard ftw.
So happy~
I was wondering, once I pick the cake, may I eat it too?
but where's the tea? Can't have a vicar inquistion w/o tea & cake or death.
Neither! I'll take the shirt! gz on the print
Condition: Binary
There are only 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don't.
I dont like that when I saw this shirt in the derby I knew it was going to place. It's just typical... the cat decoy shirt was better.
This cake is great, it's so delicious and moist.
You may want to Ctrl+S before making this choice, just in case.
I'll have the chicken.

I just want to say, everything I read from you I read thinking your avatar is saying it, and that cat is definitely judging me
Thank you for flying Church of England...
Well we're out of cake, I didn't expect such a rush
Really don't understand how this is an "everyday" situation...
So, if you don't eat cake everyday, you risk dying?
I'll have the chicken, then.

if the cake is a lie, then does that mean death is a lie?

Cats judge everyone. (Fortunately, they are very good at keeping secrets.)
This shirt takes the cake!
But doesn't eating too much cake lead to death? So if those are your only two choices...
Awesome, I love Eddie Izzard...
Thank you for flying Church of England, cake or death?

And yes too that too much will also cause death too. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't ... so you might as well enjoy it.
Perhaps a bit of Eddie Izzard will lend those out of the loop as to what the shirt is possibly referencing.
Long NSFW version here
Actually, I had to look up the Eddie Izzard reference myself before I myself was clued in on the gag.
Personally, when I first saw it, I was thinking that it was a reference to Skate or Die!
Man, what if the cake is poisoned!?!?! So, no matter which I choose I'm screwed.. Metaphor for politics? :'\
YES! A true 8-bit design. Love it! Congratulations nblottie! It's a well-deserved win! -:D
Wow, a reference to "The Jaunt"? Very nice.
I can't believe how on theme this is!
The reason I buy some of the woot shirts I buy is because they place the idea well enough for people to generate it themselves.
This shirt is indeed epic, but the reason I'm not buying it is because it has the text choices of "cake" or "death." It's perfectly fine with just the images, which would suggest that it's asking the reader, "Cake or death!?" But having a selection around the word "Cake" just kinda brings it back to the person who's wearing the shirt. :/
No Bacon Cat love. None at all.
"Wear this shirt: to your local pirate bake sale. Try the eclarrrrrs."
This shouldn't have made me laugh but it did. :D
Why are the choices always cake or death? Why not a bear claw or scrumpet? Wait, isn't that a term for hussy? Hmmm, in that case death might be preferable.
Congrats, nblottie!
Does Eddie get a cut? You might want to check ti see if the phrase has a copyright.
"When you die, if you get a choice between regular heaven or pie heaven, choose pie heaven. It might be a trick, but if it's not, mmmmmmm, boy!"

I know, I know. Cake, not pie. But Jack Handy is always relevant!

Mean Betty on '50 Shades of Grey,' Banned Books, and the Freedom to Read
Mean Betty finds in 50 Shades of Grey an unlikely champion against the banning of books. Support the freedom to read!
-Mean Betty
Kittens, this morning Meanie would like to address a certain craze which has recently been sweeping the nation. What craze, you ask? Hula Hoops? Pet Rocks? The Twist? Of course not; don't be silly, kittens! Those crazes have been over for decades! No, Meanie is, in fact, talking about a more literary craze: A little book by E. L. James called 50 Shades of Grey. No doubt you have heard of this novel, kittens, for in its short lifetime, it has already become quite notorious. But though it first gained its notoriety through its graphic sexual content and its questionable literary merit, it may now add another item to its list of achievements—one which may possibly be its most powerful yet. You see, 50 Shades of Grey has recently made its way onto several banned books lists. And oddly, Meanie wonders if this act, ostensibly an attempt to bury the novel, may have instead made its lead characters, Anastasia and Christian, into unlikely heroes: Champions fighting for the freedom to read.
You see, kittens, a variety of libraries, most notably those in Florida's Brevard County Public Library System, have recently pulled the erotic novel from its shelves, and in doing so have engaged in an act of literary censorship. Random House, which publishes 50 Shades of Grey, has spoken out against this act, saying that it "fervently opposes literary censorship and supports the First Amendment rights of readers to make their own reading choices. We believe the Brevard County Public Library System… is saying to library patrons: We will judge what you can read."
In some ways, perhaps this—the banning as well as the response to it—is unsurprising; after all, 50 Shades of Grey has hit all the high notes of the Song of Controversy. Consider, for example, that not unlike Twilight (to which 50 Shades owes its origins), E. L. James' novel can be seen to have a problematic message. Some agree with this statement and some don't; the waters are murky in both cases. On the negative side, academics and feminists the world over have decried Twilight for the fact that it romanticizes what is at base an abusive relationship; they might also say the same about 50 Shades of Grey, which, as one response described it, has a plot that sounds like this: "Young virgin meets formerly abused man, man tries to make her his sexual submissive, girl lives in fear but yearns to please him." The writer of this response continued, "If S&M is your thing, be my guest. If vapid books are your thing, to each their own. If it helps awaken your bedroom imagination, so be it. But let's not tout this book as anything other than the big step backwards that it is." Well, when you put it that way…
But then consider that on the other hand, 50 Shades of Grey can also be seen as something to be applauded—not for its literary achievements, but for its social ones. Not only has it brought BDSM a little more into the fore, but also, as pointed out by Soraya Chemaly of the Huffington Post, it demonstrates that women are consuming sexual content (not just romantic content), using technology to bypass the shame associated with it, and discussing both of these things openly—which can be seen as a feminist victory.
Read Mean Betty: Someone Please Get Amanda Bynes Out from Behind the Wheel!
So, kittens: 50 Shades of Grey might be putting across a terrible message. But, it might also be accomplishing something good as well. These two points push and pull against each other with the book split somewhat uncomfortably between them—a situation which just so happens to be the picture-perfect recipe for a controversy! But controversy or no, the question still remains: Does any library—or anyONE, really—have the right to dictate what the public is or is not allowed to read? Meanie thinks that we might be steering dangerously close to Fahrenheit 451 here—especially when one considers the reasoning behind the censorship.
According to Brevard County, they haven't banned the book because of its potentially problematic message. The banning isn't even really because of the sexual content, though as they state, "We don't collect porn." The principal problem, kittens? Is the fact that it's not a classic. The library stocks copies of The Kama Sutra, Fanny Hill, Fear of Flying, Topic of Cancer, and Lolita—"because those other books were written years ago and became classics because of the quality of the writing." 50 Shades of Grey, however, "is not a classic."
In other words? The book has been banned for its terrible prose.
Given the amount of poorly written, non-classics stocked by most libraries, Meanie imagines you can see why this argument is ridiculous.
So here, then, is why 50 Shades of Grey may end up being the hero of the day: If the book is not being challenged because of its risqué content, then by this logic, all of the wonderful classics which have been challenged over the years—The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret, The Bluest Eye, Lady Chatterley's Lover, the aforementioned Lolita, and on and on and on—should also be excused from the content issue. After all, there can be no denying that the prose of these works is magnificent across the board. So what's the trouble, then? Problem solved!
Does Meanie have any desire to read 50 Shades of Grey? Not in the slightest. But let Meanie make it abundantly clear that under no circumstances whatsoever does she condone the banning of books—even a book such as 50 Shades of Grey. Meanie may disagree with its message. She may have little patience for its bad writing. But she doesn't believe that anyone should control what a reader can and cannot read. That question is between the reader and the book—and the reader and the book ONLY.
Hmmm… The butler has been peeking over Meanie's shoulder rather a lot this morning. He looks relieved. Poor dear! Meanie can't blame him; she DID catch him in the pantry hastily shoving something behind the canned goods yesterday… Something which looked suspiciously like a certain book.
Pardon Meanie while she giggles into her mimosa. She may not believe in the banning of books, but she still believes in the power of good-natured teasing!

Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
Dr. Steven Giovannoni finds microbes in the most unusual places in the ocean and attempts to grow a mystery microbe in the lab.
{Title: Oceans of Microbes}
Narrator, Lillian Lehman: The great majority of the ocean's living matter, by weight, consists of microbes. More then all the lobster, fish, porpoises, and whales combined. Think about what will happen when these krill die. Will they all be eaten? And what will happen to the eaters when they die? Marine scientist have known for a long time, that when fish die, they sink to the bottom, and by the time they get to the bottom, they've decomposed into their essential chemical elements. So one thing the profusion of ocean microbes is doing, is decomposing all the dead material floating down from above. In fact that is how all the fish nutrients get releases back into the water, so they can be recycled and used by other fish. If microbes exist in the oceans in massive numbers, and since the oceans cover seventy percent of the Earth, can there be any question that marine microbes play a vital role in the health of the planet, and the health of humanity. But what exactly do they do? There are many clues, but at present scientist know very little. This man has dedicated his scientific life to filling the vacuum. Steve Giovannoni, a marine microbiologist at Oregon State University, grew up around the ocean.
Scientist, Steve Giovannoni: So, there is a real sense when you look out across the sea, that here's a mysterious thing that is very big, bigger then most of the other things in your life. Those mysteries are important for people, the ocean was important to me in that regard. The thrill of the hunt really begins when you get the idea that, maybe your seeing something that is very new.
Narrator, Lillian Lehman: A generation ago, scientists knew almost nothing of microbes in the ocean. Most doubted that there was anything new to discover out there at all.
Scientist, Steve Giovannoni: There were plenty of skeptics. There were people that thought that, the kinds of bacteria that we already knew about, were a perfectly good example of what lived in the oceans.
Narrator, Lillian Lehman: Even as a graduate student, Giovannoni was convinced that was short sighted. And he was excited by a new discovery of life in the deep. Over two miles down, seen here in animation, scientists from Woodhull Massachusetts, found underwater volcanoes. Spewing super heated minerals from the Earth's core. When these minerals meet the ice cold water, they crystallize. Creating huge undersea structures. Spotlights pierce the blackness, this is real film. There is no sunlight, yet life blooms in the darkness. How? Microbes. Instead of sunlight, hydrogen and sulfur, from volcanic vents, provide the energy for microbial life. The bacteria become food for some of the larger creatures. And form the base of the food web. Shrimp, fish, and crabs, thrive in this oasis of heat, and microbes.
Scientist, Steve Giovannoni: But, seeing what could happen there. That there could be this unique ecosystem based on microbial life, stimulated me to think about, the kinds of mysteries that might be right under our nose.
Narrator, Lillian Lehman: In a nineteen eighty nine, research voyage to the the Sargasso Sea, in the south western part of the north Atlantic. Giovannoni sniffed the first scent of success. Though he barely knew it at the time. As beautiful as it is, the Sargasso might seem a poor candidate for a place to find new life. The Sargasso is very low in nutrients but that's the point. It's not unlike most of the large central areas of the world's oceans. And since that's most of the planet, its what Giovannoni wants to know about. What's going on out there.
Scientist, Steve Giovannoni: This is what most of the open ocean, realy is like. Where nutrients are very low in abundance. The reasons for this has to do with the motions of water. As you get nearer the edges of the continents, cold water, deep water comes up to the surface, currying nutrients. That doesn't happen here, in the center of the Atlantic Ocean. Sometimes those nutrient rich waters are brought up by a really big storm, but most of the time, they are held below by the warm, lighter nature of the water above. So, warm water is lighter, it sits like a blanket over the cold deep water carrying the nutrients. Keeps it down there, this means that the ocean surface around us is very, very clear, its the color of really pure water. The low nutrient environment presents a challenge. Finding and identifying microbes, is that much harder. Like all scientists, Giovannoni and his team are forever optimistic. Something new may be found, that will make their mark.
Scientist, Steve Giovannoni: It didn't thread. There we go. There are a lot of bacteria out there, but in comparison to the continental shelf. Close to the coast of the Unites States, this water has far fewer algae in it. Far fewer nutrients in it, and the organisms that live here, have to recycle what they've got.
Narrator, Lillian Lehman: Giovannoni has a hunch, that in the low nutrient Sargasso Sea, evolution might favor very small microbes. Theoretically smaller means better, in such an environment.
Scientist, Steve Giovannoni: Organisms in the open ocean have special features that enable them to grow and compete, my favorite hypothesis is that the smallest of the cells have a certain advantage over everything else. Because their surface area is high, relative to the inside of the cell. And its the surface of the cell, that the cell uses to capture nutrients out of the surrounding water. Those cells are going to grow the fastest.
Narrator, Lillian Lehman: Giovannoni's hunch was astute, in one of his sample jars, he had captured one of the first specimens ever, of a previously unknown bacteria. As if living the reverse every angler's favorite story, he was soon to qualify for the man who caught one of the smallest bacteria known to science. He and his team were about to make discoveries.
{Title: A Mystery Microbe.}
{Sounds of traffic.}
Narrator, Lillian Lehman: Giovannoni and his team have returned to Oregon State University, to pan for microbial gold, among the samples of water from the Sargasso Sea. But how do you know when you've found a new microbe anyway? Searching with a microscope is not realistic, because so many different types look the same. Imagine this is Giovannoni's mystery microbe unrecognized in a sample of the Sargasso water. When he looks, he can't identify his quarry simply by physical appearance.
Scientist, Steve Giovannoni: We had to find some other way of identifying them, and what we did was to become gene hunters. In place of the organisms, we began to hunt their DNA.
Narrator, Lillian Lehman: Giovannoni chemically broke open millions of different microbes. The messy results were billions of different DNA fragments all mixed together.
Student, Brian Lanoil: What we are looking at here is approximately fifty billion cells worth of DNA. So in order to be visible to the human eye, you need to have a lot of DNA on there, a lot of cells.
Narrator, Lillian Lehman: DNA is a complex genetic recipe that consists of two strands held together by four Chemicals called nucleotides, which are like puzzle pieces. The length, and arrangement of these four Chemicals, determines the identity of every living thing on Earth.
Scientist, Steve Giovannoni: We removed the DNA from the microorganisms in the seawater and we took single genes. We took single copies of genes from all that DNA, and we studied those single genes, and we did it by reading the code on the gene.
Narrator, Lillian Lehman: Giovannoni retrieved pieces of DNA, with just enough chemical code to analyzing. He compared these with a up to date database of existing codes. The genetic codes of all known living things. One by one the DNA codes matched existing organisms, but one code did not match up. It belonged to an unknown organism. They had discovered the existence of the mystery microbe. They named it SAR eleven - Sargasso gene Number eleven Now the real work would begin. He had to find the whole microbe. It wasn't long before the search took on greater significance. Giovannoni's research team found SAR eleven in water everywhere they looked, and they knew it was a bacterial plankton, which means it is involved in some way with the supply of nutrients to algae, the oxygen producers of the sea.
Scientist, Steve Giovannoni: How is SAR eleven related to algae? You could say that algae are one half of the cycle. And SAR eleven, is probably the other half of the cycle. What would happen if you took away one half of the cycle? The cycle would stop.
Narrator, Lillian Lehman: Following Giovannoni's lead, other scientists found the same gene in ocean samples from around world. Evidence even turned up in freshwater lakes. Even more remarkable, in every sample of water there were more SAR eleven genes than genes from any other organism. Giovannoni realized that he was on the trail of possibly one of the most abundant life forms on the planet.
Stephanie Connon: Right now all we know about SAR eleven is one gene, and we know that that gene is out there in the sea.
Narrator, Lillian Lehman: Stephanie Connon is a graduate student in Giovannoni's laboratory.
Student, Stephanie Connon: We feel that it is one of the most dominate organisms in the open ocean ecosystem, and being a dominate organism, means that it is the most numerous one. We feel it plays an important role in the food web in the ocean, and we would like to find out what that role is.
Narrator, Lillian Lehman: But so far, they hadn't managed to grow SAR eleven, and for over a century, the only way to study microbes was to grow them.
Scientist, Steve Giovannoni: This is one of the oldest methods in microbiology. It's called a spread plate. And really all it is, is dropping water from the environment on a surface of a sterile plate, contains food for bacteria, separating the bacteria so that they grow up by themselves, and form colonies that we can see with our eyes.
Narrator, Lillian Lehman: One week later. So many bacteria have grown that they become visible. For years marine microbiologists believed that the colonies which grew like this, on spread plates, revealed all the microbe species in the ocean. The reality was different. Over ninety nine percent of all microbes on Earth will not grow this way.
Scientist, Steve Giovannoni: I know more about SAR eleven's genetic makeup then I do about its appearances, or its activity in the ocean surface. Making that transition from, from studying genes to studying cells is one of the challenges of our work. The real challenge today is to try to grow SAR eleven. Something about these cells makes them unable to grow in the scientific laboratory, at least today, using the kinds of techniques that scientists have. I told Stephanie this. I said, "what would be really a great discovery, but Challenging, and require creative thought would be, to try to isolate these organisms for the first time. Do you want to do that project?" And she said "yes".
Student, Stephanie Connon: What I do in the laboratory is, I try to grow these unknown organisms, unknown bacteria from seawater. We are going to be testing different food sources for this organism. To determine what it eats. And if we can do that, we can start determining what its role is in the food web.
Scientist, Steve Giovannoni: Our hypothesis is, that SAR eleven eats organic carbon, but what we don't know is what kind of organic carbon does it eat. What does it like to eat? And that's one of the things Stephanie has to figure out in order to make it grow.
Narrator, Lillian Lehman: If Stephanie's diet for SAR eleven does get it to eat, grow and reproduce, they will be able to find out, much more about what the microbe actually does. Unlike many microbes, SAR eleven thrives with very little nutrients, so Stephanie is tempting it with very small amounts of food, one thousand times less than normal. But it's a stubborn microbe.
Scientist, Steve Giovannoni: We think that the reason it's so difficult to grow in the laboratory is that, possibly SAR eleven is a small cell, built to live at the very low nutrient concentrations that are found in the open ocean sites that we study, and that it's precisely adapted to do one thing, and if we change anything then it doesn't divide in the lab. So the trick for us will be to somehow, or another reproduce exactly what's happening out in the ocean in order to make it grow.
Narrator, Lillian Lehman: Brian Lanoil, is looking for an alternative way to snag a whole SAR eleven microbe. his approach is once again to use SAR eleven's DNA as the tool.
Scientist, Steve Giovannoni: Your going to stain for thirty minutes.
Narrator, Lillian Lehman: For the plan to work, he must first succeed in getting a larger DNA fragment.
Student, Brian Lanoil: Yeah, it's a really nice unit too.
Scientist, Steve Giovannoni: In the past we studied small pieces, but we could never study the DNA an organism as one big piece. But this device gives us a way of working with very large pieces of DNA. And if it works, then Brian is going to use those big pieces of cloned DNA, as a way of making SAR eleven light up under the microscope. We got everything worked out, but the one thing we're missing is these great big chunks of SAR eleven DNA. We've been unlucky, and that is how it is some times, in science. We keep missing it, we get other pieces of DNA, but we keep missing the SAR eleven, big chunks. So we got to try again. Fishing, is what it is.
Narrator, Lillian Lehman: If Brian can find a large chunk of SAR eleven's DNA he will try and hook a whole microbe, using the DNA fragment as bait. He will give the DNA fragment luminescence, like that of a fire fly. With luck, the DNA probe will find a SAR eleven within the mix of marine microbes, and enter it. The probe should then find a matching DNA sequence, and like a key in a lock bind itself to this chemical sequence. The entire microbe will light up, and Brain will be able to see, and photograph SAR eleven, under a microscope.
Student, Brian Lanoil: I change it once every couple of months, Yeah.
Scientist, Steve Giovannoni: Now and then. Hey, it looks like Brian has got some pretty big DNA, it looks like.
Narrator, Lillian Lehman: Suddenly it seemed like, Brian had found his large DNA fragment.
Scientist, Steve Giovannoni: Well it's looking good, but we're gonna look at, we have to look at, the markers, and find out how big it is.
Student, Brian Lanoil: The largest is twenty two hundred KB.
Narrator, Lillian Lehman: But this one proved a blind alley. They were unable to confirm that it belonged to SAR eleven. As so often in scientific work, they had to try again, and then again.
{Music with a synthetic wind and percussion instruments.}
Scientist, Steve Giovannoni: Yeah, just keep doing it.
Narrator, Lillian Lehman: In the end it was Stephanie, using a variation of Brain's technique, that struck gold. Seven years after they first discovered a single SAR eleven gene, the mystery microbe revealed itself, and pose for its photograph.
Scientist, Steve Giovannoni: Under the best microscopes, SAR eleven is nothing more than a pinpoint of light. It's like looking up at night and seeing a star in the sky. And my feeling was like being the first person to land on the moon. It was like discovering for the first time organisms that you knew were tremendously important out there, that were present in numbers that went beyond the billions, and yet had not been detected at all, by anybody previously on the planet. And they're a lot smaller than most of the other bacteria out there. In many cases, they're a thousand times smaller. You could put a million billion of them into a tablespoon. What's it doing out there?
Narrator, Lillian Lehman: What is SAR eleven doing out there? That's a question that applies to the vast majority of microbes on the planet. We know they have great power throughout the globe, but we often know few of the details. When we do, the details can be amazing. For example microbes in the ocean, effect the temperature of the planet. Ocean algae produce a sulfur compound that escapes into the atmosphere. In the atmosphere, the sulfur particles cause moisture in the air to form cloud droplets. With many droplets it's a very white cloud. With just a few its dark. The degree of whiteness, affects how much of the sun's light, and heat, are reflected from Earth back into Space. One of the things that controls the Earth's temperature. So microbes have the power to affect climates. And its always been that way. Long before there were animals or plants, or fish, or insects. When dinosaurs were still hundreds of millions of years in the future. Microbes transformed the Earth's atmosphere. From a unbreathable mixture of noxious gases to the oxygen based air used by all the larger life forms, that were to follow. Microbes have the power to control the evolution of life on the planet, but our understanding is only on the first page of the book of knowledge. And this was dramatically proven by Biosphere 2. What did go wrong there? We know that the oxygen levels dropped by almost a third in only a few months. Causing an extinctions of species within Biosphere 2. Yet a conscious effort had been made to introduce, plant, animal, and insect species, that would successfully form a food web, a Web of Life. But microbial species were added almost inadvertently. Most of them like Earth's, virtually unknown. the microbes did what they are supposed to do. We created an imbalance, by over feeding them. Other factors probably came into play. But there is a strong suspension, that insignificant part, one of human kind's most ambitious experiments was brought down by, in effect, by a compost heap. Over fertilization of the soil, created a microbial feeding frenzy. Reproduction increased dramatically, to billions of trillions. This impacted the oxygen cycle. One microbe hardly makes a difference, but trillions of rapidly reproducing bacteria, consumed a huge amount of of the oxygen within the enclosed ecosystem. Was Biosphere 2, a failure? Yes, and no.
Scientist, Steve Giovannoni: Biosphere 2 gave us a opportunity to begin developing ideas that we need to understand how our own biosphere works in detail. Can we afford not to understand what microorganisms are, or what they do? Up until now we've gotten by without understanding them. But we take for granted that Earth's biosphere, will continue to hum along into the future, without sorts of significant problems, that cause almost devastating trouble for Biosphere 2. Can we permit them to remain a mystery? Before we begin predicting how our own biosphere will respond, to human influences, we have to find out what these organisms do. Without the microorganisms, there could be no plant life, there could be no animal life, we would disappear.
{Vocal harmonic tunes, and music.}
Narrator, Lillian Lehman: The message is unmistakable, the microbial world is far more powerful then we sometimes realize. We've seen this power before. When the atmosphere of the whole planet was transformed, with oxygen, it was microbes that did it. When a forest ecosystem regenerates, after raging fires destroy it, it's microbes that that spin the new web. It is microbes that enable every morsel we eat, every breath we take. There are always lessons to be learned, after all, wisdom begins at the moment we accept what we don't know. Especially about the true Keepers of the Biosphere.

Dover Wedding In September
"We had a 2 tier (half made of styrofoam) cutting cake and 200 cupcakes. The cake and the display was awesome! Everyone LOVED the cupcakes. Kara was great, she setup everything perfectly and we were so happy with everything she provided. Easy to work with and a wonderful product!"
Nancy and Christopher's Wedding
"We were married in the Caribbean in the spring with a planned post wedding reception in the form of a catered clambake for friends and family in York Beach in August. Having no experience looking for a wedding cake vendor, I went online and found Kara and the Black Bunny Bakery. The website is what initially sold us. The array of cakes, their design and deions were mouth watering. Our initial visit with Kara was much more than just professional. Her inspiring creative mind along with the detail taken to design our cake and the time spent to meet our needs was to say the least, impresive. We had a beach themed porcelain wedding cake topper. Kara took that and designed a wedding cake that was to die for. It was then that we knew we had found a gem and there was no need to go elsewhere in our search. Our guests raved about not only the beautiful design, detail and look of the cake (it was too perfect to cut) but the amazing flavor and freshness of it. I would highly recommend working with Kara and would never go anywhere else."
Jennifer and Timothy's Wedding
"Kara at Black Bunny was the sweetest, most accomodating vendor we worked with. She takes the ultimate pride in her work and uses only the best ingredients to create her delicious cakes, fillings, and frostings. She is very creative and loves to create beautiful works of art. Her talent was evident not only in the elegant white cake she made for our wedding cake, but also in the groom's cake shaped like a classic '55 chevy! She replicated the picture to a T and our guests were amazed! I will continue to use Black Bunny for all of my bakery needs!"

ATLANTA -- The Coca-Cola Co. is reintroducing a bold, cropped Diet Coke logo for its aluminum can, along with a new ad campaign for the iconic soft drink.
The sleek and modern packaging design features a section of the Diet Coke emblem, cropped to feature the "d" and the "k," set against the brand's signature silver backdrop.
The can graphics debuted last fall as a seasonal look and were brought back following positive consumer feedback. The new look began appearing in on store shelves and in vending machines on Sept. 1.
The new look will also make a splash in the latest evolution of Diet Coke's iconic "Stay Extraordinary" digital, print and out-of-home ad campaign.

HJC RPHA-Max modular helmetby scootertrashbc - verified purchaser
WOW !! I have to admit this helmet was worth every penny. And Jafrum had the best price, and it only took one day to get here. The helmet has lots of features that really make it the BEST helmet I;ve ever owned. It's the quietest modular I've ever worn, and it has very good ventilation, and living in the desert, that's important. The only complaint I have is the snap for the chin strap is covered by padding making it awkward to use. I love the release for the face shield, and it's auto lock. I found it very easy to add my blue tooth to it with no need to "modify" the helmet. Bottom line, I highly recommend this helmet, you won't be disappointed, it's very well made, and it looks great too.

good luck, J
'56 Chevy wagon in Northwest Indiana
This is the introduction. I am finishing up a '56 Chevy 210 2 door wagon that I bought as a "finished" car (are they ever finished?) in February of this year. I had to go through the thing to fix up the screw ups and get it to where I wanted it to be. It has 605 steering, dropped spindles, 1" lowered springs and 1 1/4" sway bar on the front. The rear has relocated springs to the center of the frame. The rear end is an open stocker with 3.70's. The tranny is a 350 Jasper with a B&M shift kit and 2800 stall converter. The interior is leather with Sebring bucket seats (integral lap and shoulder belts), Vintage Air/Heat, ididit tilt column with shifter. The original motor was a 30 over 350 2 bolt block. The motor let go of the ghost in early June and was replaced by a ZZ4. I've been waiting for a cross flow radiator from Griffin since June 28th (the great aluminum tube shortage of 2005). I've got it so it turns over and makes sparks but still need a cooling system. I have got a few things that I need some help with from this site.
The paint is urethane clear over a Chevy truck teal color and there are some runs in the clear under the driver's door lock and under the stainless strip down the center of the door. If it was lacquer or the old enamels I would just go out and sand till they went away and then buff out the spots. Not real sure how to do it with the urethane.
I have been around cars for 40 years and just recently got back in to rodding. I drag raced for 12 years in Super Gas and Competition Eliminator and got tired of NHRA's treatment of sportsman racers that could mile per hour and still hit the number. So I sold the racecar and hauler and bought another toy.
Thanks for reading this blog. Getting tired of typing.
Any suggestions on the paint issue would be appreciated.

While some women might think their lives are over when they are 40 and divorced, these sexy mamas know that a new chapter is just beginning. Too long they have lived unsatisfying existences where they felt neglected and unfilled. Starting now, they are set on exploring their urges and they are going to get what it is they have always desired: tons of mind-blowing sex! These girls know that being middle-aged isn't nearly a death sentence, and they are setting out to make the most out of their golden years with as much cock as they can possibly fit into their routines! They are horny and needy, and they are happy to go out and finally get all of the prick they couldn't have when they were married. They aren't going to even think twice about the husbands who were terrible in bed because they have a new outlook on life. Because it's been quite some time since these mature skanks were banged real good, they are feeling wild over every dick that comes near their pussies. They don't care if the dick is long or short, black or white. As long as it is tickling their tender love channels, these older bitches are going to be more than satisfied. They scream and moan in pleasure when they are being plowed because they are dying to let the world know how happy they are and how good it feels to have a young stud with an impressive amount of energy ram their slits hard. Some of these foxy babes are particular about their looks, so they shave and make things quite neat down under. while others love the feel of their furry cunts rubbing against their thighs when they are walking, sleeping and showering. However, it doesn't matter what they look like because the lucky bastards who are tapping these 40+ twats are absolutely eating them up. Who knew that old ladies could get so much action if they wanted it? With boobs that require squeezing, asses that beg for slapping and dripping wet slits that need ramming, these older ladies are looking for the hunks who want their members serviced by experienced lovers.

Your baby's doctor and/or nurse will probably:
1. Check your baby's weight, length, and head circumference and plot the measurements on the growth charts.
2. Ask questions, address any concerns, and offer advice about how your baby is:
Feeding. Newborns should be fed when they seem hungry. Breastfed infants eat about every 1 to 3 hours, and formula-fed infants eat about every 2 to 4 hours. Your doctor or nurse may observe breastfeeding and help with technique. Burp your baby midway through a feeding and again at the end.
Peeing and pooping. Newborns should have several wet diapers a day. The number of poopy diapers varies, but most newborns have 3 or 4 soft bowel movements a day. Tell your doctor if you have any concerns about your newborn's bowel movements.
Sleeping. A newborn may sleep 18 hours a day or more, waking up often (day and night) to breastfeed or take a bottle. Breastfed babies usually wake to eat every 1 to 3 hours, while formula-fed babies may sleep longer, waking every 2 to 4 hours to eat (formula takes longer to digest so babies feel fuller longer). Newborns should not sleep more than 4 hours between feedings until they have good weight gain, usually within the first few weeks. After that, it's OK if a baby sleeps for longer stretches.
Developing. In the first month, babies should:
3. Perform a physical exam with your baby undressed while you are present. This exam will include an eye exam, listening to your baby's heart and feeling pulses, inspecting the umbilical cord, and checking the hips.
4. Update immunizations. Immunizations can protect infants from serious childhood illnesses, so it's important that your baby receive them on time. Immunization schedules can vary from office to office, so talk to your doctor about what to expect.
Here are some things to keep in mind until your next routine visit at 1 month:
These checkup sheets are consistent with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)/Bright Futures guidelines.

By Chris Harris
Wojciech Szczesny has identified the ingredients that can give Arsenal the recipe for success this season.
The goalkeeper helped Arsène Wenger's team recover from a poor start to claim third place last term and he has seen enough evidence this summer to suggest that trophies are now within reach.
Szczesny is one of many youngsters who have an extra year's experience under their belts and he feels the arrival of Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud - plus the influence of Steve Bould - will take Arsenal to another level.
"This club always has the same aims and that's winning trophies," said Szczesny. "We obviously haven't done it in the last few years and that's disappointing for the players and the fans but I believe we will be that little bit stronger than we were last year.
"We have a couple of quality signings already. And we're confident we can fight for the trophies more than we did last year.
"I think the players who were lacking experience last year now have that experience. We have a couple of signings, more players who can score goals. And Podolski's goal record speaks for itself.
"We're strong offensively and and [assistant manager] Steve Bould has been doing some fantastic work with the defence. That seems to be working very well. It all makes me believe we'll be that little bit stronger."
Szczesny worked with Bould while he learned his trade in the Arsenal academy and he remains a big admirer of the man who won three league titles during a glittering playing career.
"We've done a lot of [defensive] shape work in training, work on when we lose the ball and a lot of defending on crosses," explained Szczesny.
"It's all very sharp as well. Steve likes to shout at players and keep them on their toes - so it's looking positive.
"I don't think we can concede more goals than we did last year," added Szczesny. "I was the one in goal, I was the one who conceded all those goals, and I'm just disappointed because it shows our defending was a big problem for us last season.
"We'll do everything we can to make it better."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

The action in QC centers around a small business owned and operated entirely by women. The Coffee of Doom is owned by Dora Bianchi and is entirely staffed by the other female characters: Faye Whitaker, Penelope Gaines, Raven Pritchard, and more recently Claudette and Hannelore Ellicott-Chatham. These women are shown to be competent and effective at their job, though they do slack off. It's not a challenging position, and it does reinforce the idea that women belong in the service industry, but it's a convenient setting that is realistic for a group of 20somethings.
In an inversion of patriarchal valuation of personality characteristics, the signature attraction of the shop is its employee's snark. The Coffee of Doom (hereafter CoD) baristas are known and publicized for their witty, haughty putdowns. Whereas women (particularly in service positions) are typically expected to be pleasant and rewarded for docile compliance, the professional requirements for the women in the central setting of QC are quite the opposite.
Women are not only put in authority positions at the CoD, but also at the male protagonist Marten's place of employment. Tai is a small, lesbian, "Smif" student who hires Marten for recognizing iambic pentameter. Tai is a fun character with whom Marten discusses a lot of tricky subjects, usually fairly respectfully. They discuss gender fluidity and trans men with a fair amount of respect, though the comic has othered and marginalized trans women on a few occasions. And speaking of marginalizing trans women...
Though I didn't go to Smith, I did attend an all-cis-woman institution, and I really like Jacques' portrayal of all-women "Smif". Tai, Cosette, and Lydia are the main representatives of the Smith corollary in QC's Northampton. There's a lot of parties, a lot of gals loving on gals, a lot of smart women. The stuffy trustees who pretend not to know what's going on also ring true. The women at Smith are cis, class, and for the most part race privileged women having fun and occasionally studying - pretty close to what I remember.
Beyond these two strongly women-identified and operated examples of effective business, female characters in QC are shown to have a wide variety of skills and talents. Faye is a talented sculptor whose major patron and advocate is Dora. Hannelore has turned her disability into employment through a one-woman counting business. Marigold is self-employed, though we're not yet sure how.
Older women in the QC universe are also places in positions of respect and authority - even in marginalized industries. Marten's mother is a famous fetish model and pornographer. Her accomplishments are presented with minimal stigmatization - there is no slut-shaming or pearl-clutching when her occupation is revealed. Furthermore, she is regarded with respect and admiration by Marten's friends and girlfriend. And in another area of the sex industry, Dora and Faye have a lovely experience at a woman-run sex shop. Hannelore's mother, a wheeling and dealing business mogul, is the closest thing to a villain in the QC universe, an intimidating figure who demands respect.
Beyond business acumen, female intelligence is always respected, sometimes in surprising and transgressive ways. Penelope is proudly literate and intelligent, but her predecessor at CoD, Raven, was a stereotypical ditz - coming up with silly answers to simple questions, with a malapropism for everything. But her exit was evidence of her intelligence - she went to study advanced physics - and in retrospect stupidity looks more like effervescence.
Female friendships are also highly valued in the QC universe. They are usually not centered around men, but around work, interests, or each other. Marigold and Hannelore's social anxiety made up major arcs around strips #500 and #1400. Both women strike out partially of their own volition, and both were encouraged by other women to value themselves. Hannelore particularly helped model healthy social behavior for Marigold, though there was a side of judgement for her sanitary habits.
However, Dora's comments are sometimes disturbing to me. She frequently teased Faye for her weight, and seems to occasionally sexually harass Faye - commenting on her ass and boobs, occasionally groping her. It's playful, to an extent, but given her thin privilege and status as her boss, her comments have a slightly sinister edge.
Jacques' Questionable Content universe is populated with independent, interesting women; women who work for and employ other women, women with talent and intelligence. Though his writing of these character is not particularly diverse - all of these women are white, cis, and middle class - it's productive, and contributes a cartoon vision of women not usually found in the male-dominated world of webcomics.
Check out the second installment of Women in Questionable Content, focusing on sexuality and gender identity:

Dear Lucy,
Thanks for answering my question about "there's v.s. there are" as well as "runny nose v.s. running nose".
Here is another question about adjective clause:
(1) Peter is one of the boys who have blue eyes.
(2) Peter is one of the boys who has blue eyes.
I told my students I would use the fist sentence instead of the second one. Please tel me which is correct. Thanks a lot.

Alcoholism is a severe problem, which can make a person's life miserable and also make the society detest him. The aim of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence or staying away from alcohol use. The treatment of alcoholism can only begin when an alcoholic accepts the problem and realizes that he must get rid of the habit for his own good and the good of his loved ones.
There are three main stages in the treatment of alcoholism:
- Detoxification: Detoxification is the first step required after a person stops using alcohol. The detox phase may include seizures, hallucinations and delirium tremens. The patient must be kept under proper observation.
- Rehabilitation: This step includes proper counseling and medications to provide the person with skills and motivation to remain sober. This can be done by making him an inpatient or outpatient, depending on the condition of the patient.
- Maintaining sobriety: This is the most important step where a person's self-will is tested. He needs to stay away from alcohol after getting out of rehabilitation for which he requires support. Meetings conducted by the Alcoholic Anonymous should be attended regularly by a recovering alcoholic.
For people in the early stage of alcoholism, discontinuing alcohol may cause several withdrawal symptoms such as poor sleep and anxiety. For long term alcoholics, severe withdrawal symptoms are experienced, which include shaking of the body, spasms, hallucinations and panic.
Several medicines may be required in the recovery period of an alcoholic.
Anti-anxiety medicines such as benzodiazepines are used for treating withdrawal symptoms like poor sleep. The medicines are usually used in the detoxification period. After this phase, they are discontinued.
For maintaining sobriety and to abstain from alcohol, several medicines are given to recovering alcoholics. A drug known as disulfiram is used after the completion of the detox period. This medicine reacts with alcohol metabolism and causes a person to vomit, become confused, have blurry vision and experience difficulties in breathing after consuming alcohol.
A medicine called naltrexone may be used for reducing alcohol craving. It can be prescribed even when a person drinks. It is given in the form of an injection. Antidepressants are also given to patients to reduce anxiety and depression.
Other ways to deal with alcoholism:
Several other instructions must be strictly followed by a recovering alcoholic to avoid relapse. They are as follows:
- People and places related to drinking should be avoided, and a person should make new nonalcoholic friends.
- Support groups and AA meeting must be attended regularly for motivation.
- Dependence on alcohol should be eliminated by starting different activities and getting involved in things.
Alcoholism is a severe problem, which may lead to death in case of extremities. Alcoholism can ruin a person's life, and proper measures must be taken to eliminate alcoholism.
If you had to choose between living a life of restrictions and a life of freedom, you'd choose the latter right? This is a decision most patients have to take when diagnosed with heart disease. However, thanks to medical advancements such as the pacemaker, they get to choose a life of freedom too, just like you.
In simple terms, a pacemaker is a tiny device helps people with irregular heart rhythms to quite effectively, maintain the 'pace' of their normal lifestyle. It is best suited for patients suffering from arrhythmias or the abnormal beating of the heart and heart block as well. As a matter of fact, for many people who have had a pacemaker fitted, things such as fainting, dizziness and other undesirable symptoms which have been known to be part and parcel of arrhythmias have become a thing of the past.
How it Works?
A pacemaker provides for the regular beating of the heart by providing electrical impulses which have a low intensity to the heart so as to induce it to beat in a normal manner. It is a small device which is composed of a battery whose energy works to power a computerized generator and a small albeit intricate system of wires attached to sensors, which are alternatively known as electrodes which observe the functioning of the heart.
For those who are planning to have a pacemaker implanted, it would be reassuring to know that there is a lot of due diligence which is a part of installing a pacemaker. The minor surgery which is required for it to be installed is completed in the span of a few hours.
It is to be noted that even after the installation is complete, a patient will have a day or so spent under the careful and watchful observation of the doctor and nurses so as to make sure that the pacemaker is functioning all but perfectly.
Post Op. Care:
There is a short period of recovery following which a person can resume his or her normal activities. But just as the pacemaker goes a long way in making its wearer's life easier, the wearer has a few responsibilities but there needs to be minimal concern with respect to its maintenance.
The batteries of pacemakers last about six to seven years, and for some pacemakers which are not that active, the battery need not be replaced till about fifteen years after the date of implantation.
Another precaution patients with patients need to take is that they stay out of zones of high magnetic energy, especially for sustained periods.
Besides these minor safety measures there are tremendous benefits of installing a pacemaker. It is truly life changing in every sense of the term. It helps you live life with a dose of renewed vigour, allowing you to indulge without regret!

* No trainer has won two races in consecutive years with the same horses. Bob Baffert can do that this year with 2007 Sprint winner Midnight Lute in the Sprint and 2007 Juvenile Fillies winner Indian Blessing in the Filly & Mare Sprint. Indian Blessing could become the first horse to win two different Breeders' Cup races.
*Mel Stute is the only trainer to win with his first two Breeders' Cup starters: Brave Raj (1986 Juvenile Fillies) and Very Subtle (1987 Sprint).
*Not counting 1984 when six of the seven winning trainers won with their first starters, 22 trainers have won with their initial Breeders' Cup starters. In all, nine trainers are 1-for-1. They are: Louis Albertrani (Artax, 1999 Sprint), Budd Lepman (Eillo, 1984 Sprint), Steve Margolis (Cajun Beat, 2003 Sprint), Frank Martin (Outstandingly, 1984 Juvenile Fillies), Michael Matz (Round Pond, 2006 Distaff), Vincent O'Brien (Royal Academy, 1990 Mile), Jim Ryerson (Unbridled's Song, 1995 Juvenile), Vincent Timphony (Wild Again, 1984 Classic), David Vance (Caressing, 2000 Juvenile Fillies).
*Eight trainers have won two or more Breeders' Cup races on a single day and three have done it multiple times. D. Wayne Lukas won three races in 1988 (Gulch, Sprint; Is It True, Juvenile; and Open Mind, Juvenile Fillies) and two in 1985 (Life's Magic, Distaff and Twilight Ridge, Juvenile Fillies), 1986 (Capote, Juvenile and Lady's Secret, Distaff), 1987 (Sacahuista, Distaff and Success Express, Juvenile), 1994 (Flanders, Juvenile Fillies and Timber Country, Juvenile) and 1999 (Cash Run, Juvenile Fillies and Cat Thief, Classic). Richard Mandella won four races in 2003 (Action This Day, Juvenile; Halfbridled, Juvenile Fillies; Johar [deadheat], Turf and Pleasantly Perfect, Classic) and two in 1993 (Phone Chatter, Juvenile Fillies and Kotashaan, Turf). Shug McGaughey won two races in 1989 (Dancing Spree, Sprint and Rhythm, Juvenile) and 1995 (My Flag, Juvenile Fillies and Inside Information, Distaff). Other double winners are Bob Baffert (2007 Juvenile Fillies, Indian Blessing and Sprint, Midnight Lute), Patrick Byrne (1997 Juvenile, Favorite Trick and Juvenile Fillies, Countess Diana), Rick Dutrow (2005 Sprint, Silver Train and Classic, Saint Liam), Joe Orseno (2000 Juvenile, Macho Uno and Filly & Mare Turf, Perfect Sting) and Todd Pletcher (2004 Sprint. Speightstown and Distaff, Ashado).
* Doug O'Neill, who has six horses entered in the Championships, can become the second trainer to saddle Breeders' Cup winners in four consecutive years. Kiaran McLaughlin, who has Shakis entered in the Mile, could become the fourth trainer to saddle a winner in three consecutive Championships.
*Fifteen trainers have won races in consecutive years. D. Wayne Lukas triumphed in five consecutive years (1985-89), and Aidan O'Brien (2001-03) and Doug O'Neill (2005-07) had wins in the championship in three consecutive years. In addition to Lukas and O'Brien, three trainers have posted victories in consecutive years twice. They are Neil Drysdale (1984-85 and 1992-93), Bobby Frankel (2001-02 and 2004-05) and Shug McGaughey (1988-89 and 1992-93). Other trainers to post victories in consecutive years are Pascal Bary (2002-03), Francois Boutin (1987-88), Patrick Byrne (1997-98), Ron McAnally (1989-90), Kiaran McLaughlin (2006-07), Bill Mott (1997-98), Jay Robbins (2000-01), Jenine Sahadi (1996-97) and Mel Stute (1986-87).
* Four trainers can saddle repeat winners with the same horse in the same race from 2007: Bob Baffert (Midnight Lute, Sprint), Rick Dutrow (Kip Deville, Mile), Bobby Frankel (Ginger Punch, Ladies' Classic, run as the Distaff in 2007) and Steve Asmussen (Curlin, Classic).
*Five trainers have repeated in back-to-back years in the same race with the same horse. They are: Francois Boutin (1987-88 Miesque, Mile), Shug McGaughey (1992-93 Lure, Mile), Ron McAnally (1989-90 Bayakoa, Distaff), Jay Robbins (2000-01 Tiznow, Classic) and Aidan O'Brien (2002-03 High Chaparral [dead heat in '03], Turf).

Why does Wash. Post treat Palin & Beck as America's leading religious thinkers?
When you think of America's deepest and most respectful religious thinkers, do you think of Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin? On Faith co-moderators Sally Quinn and Jon Meacham seem to.
On Faith is the Washington Post microsite dedicated to discussions of religion. Creators Quinn & Meacham have explained [1]:
[I]n a time of extremism -- for extremism is to the 21st century what totalitarianism was to the 20th -- how can people engage in a conversation about faith and its implications in a way that sheds light rather than generates heat? At The Washington Post and Newsweek, we believe the first step is conversation-intelligent, informed, eclectic, respectful conversation-among specialists and generalists who devote a good part of their lives to understanding and delineating religion's influence on the life of the world. The point of our new online religion feature is to provide a forum for such sane and spirited talk, drawing on a remarkable panel of distinguished figures from the academy, the faith traditions, and journalism.
In practice, however, On Faith frequently promotes bigots like Cal Thomas [2] and Bill Donohue and Tony Perkins and James Dobson [3]. Sally Quinn and Jon Meacham have yet to explain how promoting a ranting, hateful lunatic like Bill Donohue [4] "sheds light." Nor have they explained why they promote anti-Muslim writings by Cal Thomas that closely resemble the Islamophobia Quinn denounces in others.
But On Faith's troubling tendency to reward some of the most virulently hateful figures in American public life by passing them off as "intelligent" and "respectful" and "distinguished" leaders is not the only way in which it seems to diverge from its stated goals.
So far this year, On Faith has featured 35 discussions [5], each kicked off with a brief introduction. Only 11 of those 35 discussions were framed around the views of a specific person or group -- and five of those 11 discussions were been built around the deep thoughts of noted spiritual leaders Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck:
August 30 [6]: "In the wake of his weekend rally, Glenn Beck kept up the drumbeat of criticism about President Obama's religion, calling it a 'perversion' and saying that America 'isn't recognizing his version of Christianity,' which Beck characterized as 'liberation theology.' … Why is there so much attention on Obama's religion? Does it matter what religion the president is?"
July 19 [7]: "The New York City community board endorsed the Cordoba House, a community center and mosque planned for construction near Ground Zero. Significant opposition has emerged against the project. Sarah Palin even weighed in this weekend, tweeting, 'Peace-seeking Muslims, pls understand, Ground Zero mosque is UNNECESSARY provocation; it stabs hearts. Pls reject it in interest of healing.' Should there be a mosque near Ground Zero?"
May 17 [8]: "Sarah Palin pleased fans and angered foes with her speech to the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List, calling herself a 'frontier feminist' and saying, 'choosing life may not be the easiest path, but it's always the right path . . . God sees a way where we cannot, and He doesn't make mistakes.' … Can you be a feminist and oppose abortion in all circumstances? Can you be a person of faith and support abortion in some circumstances?"
April 12 [9]: "Fox News commentator Glenn Beck claims that faith-based calls for 'social justice' are really ideological calls for 'forced redistribution of wealth . . . under the guise of charity and/or justice,' and that Christians should leave their churches if they preach or practice 'social justice.' … Who's right? How does the pursuit of justice fit into your faith? Is 'social justice' an ideology or a theology?"
January 11 [10]: "Media biased against Christians? Fox News analyst Brit Hume said 'widespread media bias against Christianity' was to blame for criticism of his suggestion that Tiger Woods should embrace Christianity to find redemption. 'Instead of urging that Tiger Woods turn to Christianity, if I had said what he needed to do was to strengthen his Buddhist commitment or turn to Hinduism, I don't think anybody would have said a word,' Hume told Christianity Today. 'It's Christ and Christianity that get people stirred up.' Sarah Palin and other conservative Christians have made similar claims. Is there widespread media bias against Christianity? Against evangelicals such as Hume and Palin? Against public figures who speak openly and directly about their faith? Against people who believe as you do?"
It probably goes without saying, but On Faith has not similarly framed discussions around the views of progressive political and media figures. In fact, nobody else's views have been the impetus for as many On Faith discussions as Palin's or Beck's. For reasons that defy imagination, the Washington Post's On Faith site treats Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck as the nation's leading religious thinkers -- and nobody else is even close.

:smt023 I see ya got a 22 for cheaper plinking ............But I think you just photoshopped all them 99's:mrgreen:
Those are some strange lookin' kids you got there, Ship. :mrgreen:
Do ya think I have a thing for hard chrome?
Yea, I just got that buckmark. I had to settle for one with a short 4" barrel, but then someone sold me a new, unused 5 1/2" buckmark barrel for $30. And, I put my own fiber optic front sight on it. I just sold the shorter barrel for $30 too, so I got my money back.
The holosight on the carbine (P90 is it?) is very high off the barrel. I'd imagine that makes for big variations in the POI if you're not very near the point where you sighted it in. Have you noticed this?
I get about the same variation as the stock sight - Just like an AR that would be sited in at 50 yards, there is some variation. At 25 yards, It's about 2 inches low. Its about an inch or so high at 100 yards. The round can go out to 200 yards, but with my eyes, shooting past 100 yards w/o magnification is hard. Hell, even 100 yards is tough for me - I generally shoot at 50 yards.
This isn't a long range weapon. If I was shooting at 200-400 yards, then it might be a bigger issue. When compared to the stock sight, and for what the gun is designed for, it's really a non issue.
At point blank to under 25 yards, I know where to place the reticle in order for the gun to hit where I want - that comes to some practice at various ranges. I also have a laser set at 7 yards (indoor range).
What happened to the Glock w/ tactical light? Don't tell me you dropped it off at the nearest fire station...
Nice looking family.
Nice lookin' guns. Hey, do you like P99s or what? :smt082 :smt082

I am currently studying toward a MEdStud (TESOL) on top of my teaching degree (English/drama). As my experience in TESOL/ESL/EFL is limited I am wondering if anyone has any really strong opinions as to preferred methodologies in this area. I have gathered that there is a resurgence in the popularity of the direct method, here in australia in any case but would like to hear from someone out there who is practising this teaching in another culture or environment. I am off to live in India in December and would like to really start as I intend to continue.
Any opinions/suggestions/learned responses would be appreciated.

Senior point guard Her'shiira "Shorty" Boone-Rodgers and senior forward Amber Arceneaux-Francis are filling up the stat sheets for the University of St. Thomas women's basketball team. The Celts Head Coach Mike Ricks attributes their long friendship as a key component to their individual and team success.
In only the program's second season, Ricks said he can see his team moving forward, and the senior leaders are a large part of those positive strides.
"Seniors Boone-Rodgers and Arceneaux-Francis have been instrumental in leading our program on the court these first two seasons," Ricks said. "It's obvious to see when players have a unique chemistry together, and these two definitely have it."
Playing together for a successful Dulles High School program in Sugar Land, Texas, Boone-Rodgers and Arceneaux-Francis were awarded scholarships to Cisco College is Cisco, Texas. After a successful freshman season, the two friends still wanted more from school and heard about a startup women's basketball program last year at UST, which is much closer to their homes.
"We both wanted to move closer to home so our friends and family could see us play, but we mostly transferred because St. Thomas offers a great education," Arceneaux-Francis said.
The decision turned out to be a great one as they are both on schedule to graduate this May.
As far as the twosome's performance on the court, the statistics speak for themselves. Boone-Rodgers is third in the Red River Athletic Conference in assists and is eighth overall in the National Association for Intercollegiate Athletics at 6.08 per game. Arceneaux-Francis is leading the conference in rebounds at 11.31 per game, good for sixth overall in the NAIA Division I. She is also listed in the RRAC top five for scoring, field goals and steals per game.
Boone-Rodgers credits 10 years of friendship as the reason the two have been successful this season, but said being teammates the entire time doesn't hurt either.
"Not only have we been close friends, but we have been playing together since the summer after fifth grade, all through junior high and high school, and now into college," Boone-Rodgers said. "There is no doubt our friendship helps us out on the floor."
Assistant Coach Sean Hill believes these two are only going to get better as the season progresses, and sees their chemistry continue to translate on the court.
"Just as they have been for a large part of each other's lives, I hope they continue to grow on and off the basketball court," Hill said. "I'm excited to see what each of their futures hold."
The Celts are currently 6-7 overall and 3-3 in RRAC play. The team demolished Northwood University, 93-54, in their latest win at home on Jan. 3. The Celts return to action with three conference games coming up. The Celts hit the road for a 2 p.m. game on Jan. 5 against Southwestern Assemblies of God in Waxahachie, Texas. Next up is a home game against Huston-Tillotson University at 5:30 p.m. on Jan. 8 in Jerabeck Gym. Then, catch the road game against
Langston University at 5:30 p.m. on Jan. 10 on Premier Sports Network.
