Quality treatment for cancer doesn't have to be invasive. Radiation therapy at Baylor Irving may be the most effective, least disruptive way to treat some types of cancer, or it may be used in addition to other treatments.
Radiation therapy uses strong beams of energy to eliminate cancer cells or prevent them from growing. The goal is to treat cancer while minimizing damage to healthy tissue.
The specialists at Baylor Irving have the experience and tools to determine which form of radiation therapy is right for each individual patient, and whether or not the therapy should be used in conjunction with surgery or chemotherapy.
Baylor Irving offers different kinds of technologically-advanced radiation therapies:
Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) spares healthy tissue near a tumor by changing the amount of radiation delivered during treatment. IMRT radiation beams also can be formed to the approximate shape of the tumor thereby reducing harm to surrounding cells. Radiation oncologists on staff at Baylor Irving frequently use IMRT to treat prostate cancer.
High-dose rate brachytherapy is an internal radiation therapy treatment option that involves placing small plastic tubes near the tumor. The tubes are then briefly connected to the brachytherapy machine which painlessly delivers radiation. This process is repeated throughout the course of treatment, at the end of which, the tubes are removed. High-dose rate brachytherapy can be used to treat breast, lung and gynecologic cancers.

I love, love, love to go out to dinner . . . however, our budget doesn't always allow it. I love finding restaurant recipes that I can make for a fraction of a price and have them taste just as good! We found this recipe a couple of weeks ago and have made it a three times already! It's super simple to throw together and the dressing is delicious. So, save your money and make this restaurant-quality meal for your family tonight!
Applebee's Knock-off Oriental Chicken Salad
Recipe Source: Mommy? I'm Hungry
Oriental Dressing:
6 Tbsp. honey
3 Tbsp. Rice Vinegar
1/2 c. Mayonnaise
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp. Sesame oil
Blend together all ingredients in a small bowl with a whisk or mixer. Refrigerate while you work on the salad.
2 pieces of Crispy Chicken Strips (frozen or from the deli) or leftover grilled chicken (that is what I used)
Bagged salad with assorted lettuces, cabbage, and vegetables
Bagged broccoli slaw
1 Tbsp. sliced almonds, toasted
1/4 c. fried won ton strips (optional- we opted to not use them)
1/4 cup mandarin slices, drained well

The fact that you wrote this post suggests that inwardly, you have some doubt about the intentions of the lady in question. Hop on a plane a bus or anything that will take you there. If she is not there you will have enjoyed your vacation in Russia. If she is then you still have your vacation in Russia as a bonus to having your woman in your arms.

Kimi Räikkönen was bitterly disappointed during the 2013 British Grand Prix at Silverstone today, as the failure of a late pit stop quashed his hopes of a top spot finish. Umpteen teams suffered rear tyre failures which ultimately caused a pack shuffle and opened a glistening opportunity for Lotus. Team driver Kimi avoided the danger and drama and when some 10 laps before the end the then front-runner suffered suspected gear box failure, Kimi slipped expectantly into P2.
At this point circuit debris resulted in the safety car being deployed and several teams taking the opportunity for fresh tyres. Fresh tyres proved insurmountable for Kimi who heartbreakingly lost 3 places during the last 7 laps. The Finn ended the race in P5 taking 10 points for the team. He took little consolation in the fact that he now beat Michael Schumacher's unblemished 25-race consecutive points haul.
Team pal Romain Grosjean fared little better, when a small collision early on in the race caused front wing damage resulting in early retirement for the Frenchman.
Kimi Räikkönen. P5, E21-03 "I tried to hold on at the end of the race, but with tyres that were maybe twenty laps older than the others' it was impossible to keep them behind. It's a shame as the race went pretty well until then; we had good pace and looked set for a pretty easy P2, but this is racing sometimes. It's three races now where we haven't had the result we maybe expect, but hopefully if we can have a bit more luck and also get rid of some of the mistakes we'll be able to get back to the front."
Romain Grosjean DNF, E21-03 "Towards the end of the race we lost quite a big part of the front wing meaning it became really difficult to drive, so in the end it was best to retire because of safety considerations. We don't know if it was caused by some debris or something to do with the fact that it was a new part; we will be working to find out the root of the problem. Before that my race wasn't going quite to plan and we were suffering with tyre performance. This was related to the front wing issue which started earlier in the race. The safety cars didn't really go our way either so it's a race I'd rather forget. Let's go to Germany and have a better weekend."
Eric Boullier, Team Principal "The outcome of the race isn't rewarding with the amount of work that has been done by the team recently. Most of the upgrades we brought here seem to be working which is a positive sign, although we did struggle a bit in qualifying to generate good grip from the tyres. Our strategy was great today until the last safety car when we should have called Kimi in to save at least one position and make the podium. Unfortunately, we made the wrong call for which we apologise to Kimi and to the team. This sometimes happens and it isn't easy to manage when you have so many safety car periods. We will be in Germany in a few days' time where we're confident we will be competitive and aiming to make amends."

September 27, 2004
Dear FOS11 Members and Friends:
Congress has reached a critical point for action on the 9/11 Commission's recommendations.
In the next few days, committees in the House of Representatives will debate ("mark up") and finalize language of a bill which incorporates the recommended reforms. It would appear that the proposed House bill contains potentially controversial provisions that are not central to the Commission's 41 core recommendations. Unless these highly-charged provisions are stripped from the bill during markup, too many Members of the House will vote against the bill. Even if such a bill were to pass the House, the controversial provisions would likely be unacceptable to the Senate, thereby scuttling the chances of a unified reform bill to present to the President. In either case, all of the 9/11 Commission's efforts will be undone. Without critical reforms, we will be nearly as vulnerable as we were on September 11th.
The goal is to have a House bill that is "clean" of extra provisions and closely matches the proposed Senate bills such as the bipartisan Collins/Lieberman and McCain/Lieberman.
To help keep Congress focused, we are urging you to call your Representative and your Senators. Forward this alert to others who are interested in improving our national security -- especially in other parts of the country -- and urge them to call as well. (Talking points follow.)
To find your Senators and Representative go to http://www.senate.gov and http://www.house.gov.
In addition, please call the Leaders of the House to urge their members to work with bipartisan cooperation and collaboration to produce a clean bill which is true to the 41 core recommendations. The bill should be unencumbered by extraneous or controversial add-ons which merit separate debate.
Dennis Hastert, Speaker of the House (202) 225-2976Tom DeLay, House Republican Leader (202) 225-5951Nancy Pelosi, House Democratic Leader (202) 225-4965
Transportation & Infrastructure Chairman Don Young (202) 225-5765James L. Oberstar, Ranking Minority Member (202) 225-6211
Talking Points When You Call:
1) Reform Legislation should be clean and straightforward, based on the 41 core recommendations of the 9/11 Commission with no extraneous, unrelated provisions such as those closely aligned with the Patriot Act.
2) In the few days remaining, the priority of Congress should be to work cooperatively in a bipartisan, collegial way to pass legislation to make our nation safer. Political maneuvering has no place in a discussion of our national security.
3) Our Senators and Representatives cannot claim to have fulfilled their obligation to make our country safer unless both Houses, prior to adjournment, jointly agree on legislation which is then sent to the President to sign. Separate House and Senate bills will not make us safer. Only joint legislation that is signed into law can do that.
4) Nearly 3,000 people are dead as a result of systemic failures in our security network. Today, September 26, it has been 1,110 days since 9/11; 634 days since the release of the JICI Report; 65 days since the release of the 9/11 Commission Report. There are 13 days left for the 108th Congress to act in a responsible manner to correct the failures identified by the Commission.
5) The final House bill language should closely mirror the Senate language.
Also note that following is an open letter which the Families Steering Committee will deliver to members of the House.
September 27, 2004
Dear Members of the 108th Congress:
The time for this Congress to fulfill its obligation to the Nation will expire in just a few days.
The task facing you to implement the 9/11 Commission's recommendations is historic. This Congress must rise above politics by enacting legislation that is true to the core reforms recommended by the Commission. This is the only conscionable response to the September 11th tragedy.
Such legislation should be unencumbered by language or amendments containing extraneous provisions or extending/expanding the Patriot Act. The latter, in particular, deserves separate debate.
Congress must work with the 9/11 Commission to make America safer. The 9/11 families, along with millions of Americans, are watching to see what you do.
We therefore ask you to join the Shays/Maloney Bipartisan 9/11 Commission Caucus and to immediately inform your House colleagues on the markup Committees that you oppose the provisions currently encumbering the proposed House bill.
September 11th Families and Supporters
PLEASE NOTE: The Family Steering Committee will compile and post on its website a "Report Card" on each Member's position on these urgent matters. We will provide you with this valuable link.

Office Chairs
Create a relaxed, inspiring space for work and productivity in your home with a firm, yet comfortable office chair. Whatever your home office style, you can find a chair that both suits your needs and your office aesthetic.
A Classic Home Office
Give your workstation a traditional look with a mid-century modern office chair. Both reminiscent of the past and at home in the present, the design's sleek, angled legs never go out of style. Keep your choice neutral in color—light hues such as cream and beige—to keep the room looking smart and collected. Fabric upholstered chairs and light to medium hardwood flooring are classic pairings, and the two textures give the room an elegant balance.
Dark, natural-looking wood desks, paired with upholstered chairs, make the workspace feel academic—think walnut, pine and oak woods. Keep yourself comfortable and motivated with a tight back chair that allows you to sink in while still inspiring you to get work done. A design that offers a full 360-swivel allows for easy movement and the freedom to glance over at the clock on the wall, or turn to grab a document from the bookcase behind you. Try a wood case with glass panels and coordinate with other such characteristically simple office furniture.
A Modern Space
Create a modern workspace with minimalist office furniture in basic black and white. Those constructed with silky top-grain full-aniline leather upholstery make the room feel lively and official—and ready for work. Polyfoam cushioning and flowing, upright armrests promote both comfort and productivity. Bases with steel or aluminum casting or arms with chrome plating add a shiny urban edge. Make it your own with decorative throw pillows or cushioned pads for extra back support and a splash of color.
Pair the leather style with an iron-framed computer desk—the metal and tempered glass tabletop together produce a chic industrial look. Furniture with clean, simple lines is contemporary in its minimalism. Accent your modern home office with sleek iron and glass floating wall shelves perfect for book storage and decor display. For documents, magazines and reading materials, use a sharp wood credenza with a dark-stained veneer as your home filing cabinet.
Style-wise, your office chair should coordinate appropriately with your office desk and, work-wise, promote motivation and inspire creativity. Look for one with ease of use and movement, a timeless design and ultimate ergonomics.

UPDATE: The Star-Telegram has posted audio of the 911 call Dez Bryant's mother made in regards to her son's alleged assault. Angela D. Bryant is heard saying the Dallas Cowboys receiver "tried to kill me," and "He won't go home. I keep telling him to go home. He won't go."
Bryant, 23, surrendered Monday after police in DeSoto, south of Dallas, issued a warrant. Police arrived after the 911 call Saturday to find Byrant's mom with a swollen wrist and thumb and bruising on her upper arms, police Capt. Ron Smith said.
She told police she had grabbed Dez Bryant's shirt and he forcefully knocked her arms away, Smith said. Police say he hit her on the face and pushed her in the chest.
He faces a charge of family violence, a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail and a $4,000 fine.
Police plan to send their case later this week to Dallas prosecutors, Smith said.
Contributing: Wire reports
The list of Dez Bryant's off-field transgressions grows.
The Dallas Cowboys wide receiver was arrested on domestic violence charges and is free on bond after an incident in DeSoto, Texas.
The DeSoto Police Department told NFL.com that Bryant was arrested Saturday and charged with misdemeanor domestic violence.
Bryant was charged with a Class A misdemeanor for assault of a female family member, police told Dallas TV KDFW. The report also said the woman did not need to be taken to the hospital.
KDFW-TV said police would not discuss specific circumstances around the arrest or Bryant's relationship to the alleged victim.
CBSSports.com says the woman was Bryant's mother and that his half-brother was also involved.
The Cowboys issued a brief statement Monday night after being made aware of the incident.
"We are in the process of gathering information and will not have a comment at this time," Dallas team spokesman Rich Dalrymple said in the statement.
Bryant confirmed the incident to WFAA-TV in Dallas on Monday, but he would not go into specifics.
"I'm good. I'm good," he said.
In Texas, family violence is an attack or "a threat" of imminent harm against a member of a family or household. It's a punishable by up to a year in jail and a $4,000 fine.
Details of the arrest were scarce, and DeSoto officials will not release any records relating to the incident until Tuesday, according to WFAA.
The run-in with law enforcement was the second in six months for Bryant and the latest in a string of off-field problems for the third-year receiver from Oklahoma State.
Bryant, 23, was detained and questioned by Miami police in January after a fight at a South Beach nightclub. He was not arrested or charged in the incident that involved rapper Lil Wayne and his entourage.
The latest incident would certainly seem to contradict comments Bryant made at a team workout last month in which he said he was focusing solely on football this offseason.
"On the field and off the field, I try to make the best choices possible, and I feel like I'm doing a great job of that," Bryant told the Associated Press.
Bryant received a criminal trespass warning in March 2011 after refusing an order from off-duty police officers to leave a Dallas shopping mall.
A week after the incident at the mall, Bryant was hit with a pair of lawsuits that alleged he owed a jeweler and ticket broker more than $600,000 for custom-made jewelry and tickets.
Last December, reports emerged that Bryant owed a New York-based finance company $50,000 and was allegedly refusing to repay a loan to Endurance Capital Fund.
Bryant emerged as a dependable receiver this past season for the Cowboys, showing marked improvement in every stat from his rookie year. He finished second on the team in catches (63), receiving yards (928) and touchdowns (nine).
Bryant's improvement on the field and a renewed focus on conditioning and film study led Cowboys owner Jerry Jones to praise the receiver's maturation.
"He certainly is different as far as his maturity and as far as his understanding of what it takes to play in the National Football League than when he got here," Jones said last month.

I'm going to tweak it some more and see if I can boost the quality. I produced it in high definition but uploading it to YouTube compressed the files resulting in some blurring. Just in case you missed the series: Pets in PicturesAn Album of Ancestors' Family PetsPet Photos: Our Ancestors Loved Their Dogs, Too!I'd like to thank everyone who sent in pictures!

BTW—I have a new e-newsletter that lists my speaking schedule,and contains a link to the Photo Detective video podcast. It's absolutely free. Sign up is on my Web site.
He continued, "according to Mom, Spud would only
eat from the hands of family members, and preferred standing on a chair with
his front hooves while being fed. She recalls Spud walking under the kitchen
table and carrying the table on his back as he walked away. My
grandparents, Vincent and Hattie Fee, obviously liked animals.
In the foreground is the family's
dog, Jigs, no doubt waiting for a morsel to fall his way. Jigs preferred
travelling in a wheelbarrow, as can be seen in the second photo."
Bethany Klus wrote that the photo below is "a cabinet card-style photo from an album of
photos taken in Alpena, Michigan from the late 1800s. Most of the photos are unlabeled, including
the one I'm sending to you. The dog in
my photo could be siblings with the one in the blog photo, they look that
I have to agree that it
definitely is a Terrier, possibly a Cairn Terrier although they tend to have
darker fur (I'm a veterinarian when I'm not a genealogist!).
Not all the pet pictures submitted show a real, live pet. Kathy Amoroso wrote that the photo below is, "my grandmother and her family. She's the
one on the fake pig. They are in Germany in 1913 and this is from one of those
postcard photos." I'll be back next column with a couple more!
Lorie asked, "Was
it unusual to take a dog to a studio to be photographed?" The answer is no. The desire to have a
lasting remembrance of the family pet is nothing new. It dates back all the way
to the daguerreotypes of the early 1840s.
In the early 20th century, around the
time Houser took her pooch to the studio, photographic magazines frequently published articles on how to photograph dogs.
For instance, photographer
George Oliver advised studio owners that
"in certain sporting or
training districts the photographing of animals should prove as important an
adjunct to the business as does the photographing of students in some college
Oliver spoke of his own business, "For a long time I have made quite a
specialty of dogs, being rather fortunately situated in a district where there
are not only many bird dogs, but where, in addition, many lady summer visitors
bring their pet dogs." He added, "In
studio work of the first class I find ladies the easiest to take, but the
hardest to please."
Oliver's technique for photographing dogs with their owners
was to use a noiseless shutter, and enough light to reduce the exposure to a
fraction of a second. For pet portraits without owners, he posed the dog on a
table and used a treat to get it to stay still. This is likely the method used for the photo of Houser's dog. It's alert, with mouth open and tongue out
waiting for its reward.
Any photographer who wants to photograph a dog should
follow Oliver's advice, "Right here let me say that it is no use trying to
photograph dogs unless you were born a friend of them. If you think that dogs
are just ugly brutes, you will have about as much success as a surly
misanthrope would have if he tried to photograph children—dogs know."
You can read the rest of Oliver's article "Photographing
Dogs" in Wilson's Photographic Magazine
(volume L), 1913. It's full of interesting tips that are still useful
A small volume, The
Dog Album: Studio Portraits of Dogs and Their People (Stewart, Tabori
& Chang, $14.95) by Gary E. Eichhorn and Scott B. Jones is a fun collection
of 19th century pictures of folks and their dogs. The authors say it's difficult to
tell the breed of dog in old photos due to the more generalized categories of dogs at teh time, rather
than the specialized breeds common today. The American Kennel Club only dates back to 1884.
Anyone want to guess on the breed of
dog in this picture? Post in the Comments section.
Do you have a picture of an ancestor's pet? E-mail it to me. I'd love to see
it and feature it here next week. I think it's too bad no one in the
family included the name of Houser's dog in the note on the back of the photo.

Brevard, N.C. – The Brevard College Tornados will take on their first nationally ranked opponent of the 2008 season on Saturday night, as BC welcomes the No. 18 ranked Wingate Bulldogs to Brevard Memorial Stadium for the first time. It is the second consecutive year in which Brevard has faced off with Wingate in which the Bulldogs were ranked in the top-25 nationally.
The Tornados are coming off a tough 40-14 loss in their SAC opener against Lenoir-Rhyne last Saturday afternoon and will look to bounce back this week versus the Bulldogs of Wingate University.
The Tornados have yet to put together a full four quarters in a game this season, as BC has outscored their opponents in at least one quarter of each of their last three games. BC is averaging 13.5 points per game and will be looking to get the ball in the end zone by way of both the ground and air this week.
Since their first two games in which BC had 253 rushing yards and two touchdowns, the Tornados have struggled running the ball for only 86 yards in their last two games with no scores.
Junior quarterback Kye Hamilton has helped control the offense as he has passed for 569 yards and six touchdowns with 418 yards coming in the last two contests. With senior running back John Taylor nursing an injury, again newcomer John Compton and junior running back Tyrone Arrington could be asked to carry the offensive running attack for BC again this week.
In the last two games, three different receivers - Donald Hudson, Shaton Pratt and Hasan Carriel - have all had career days and will again be asked to make plays down the field for this BC offense. Carriel had three catches for 83 yards and two touchdowns a week ago, as the freshman was the go-to-guy for Hamilton through the air.
Defensively, the Tornados will look to try to stop Wingate quarterback J.D. Moore and running back Nelson Woods of Wingate and try to cause some turnovers as Wingate has 12 turnovers on the year.
Linebacker Stanley Jones will again look to lead the way for BC, as the junior had a school-record 21 total tackles against Lenoir-Rhyne one week ago. Jones leads the team with a total of 43 total tackles on the season, just ahead of fellow linebackers Zac McAlister with 29 and Brandon Rawls with 25.
The defensive secondary will be tested on Saturday evening, as the Bulldogs possess a strong passing attack. Safeties Joshua Durm, Trey Wilborn and Michael Gist, along with corners Austin Williams and Shorick Johnson - who have combined to force five fumbles and pick two interceptions - will look to bait Wingate into some turnovers to help keep their offense off the field.
The Wingate Bulldogs are currently 5-0 and is ranked No. 18 nationally heading into play on Saturday night. The Bulldogs have a strong, well-balanced offensive attack that averages 407.2 yards and 28.8 points per game.
The offense is led by quarterback J.D. Moore and running back Nelson Woods. Moore has passed for 999 yards while connecting on 89-of-138 attempts through the air. Moore has also thrown for a team-high 10 touchdowns and is averaging 199.8 yards per game through the air. On the ground, Woods leads the charge, as he has rushed 114 times for 596 yards and three touchdowns. Woods is averaging 119.2 yards per game on the ground.
On the defensive side of the ball, the Bulldogs are susceptible to giving up yards, as they are giving up 325 yards per game. Linebackers Greg Harmon and Ben Hinson are leading the way with 50 and 41 total tackles, respectively. Harmon has one sack, one interception and one fumble for the year; while Hinson has a team high 4.5 tackles for loss. Fellow linebacker Clayton Hazeltine leads the way with 3.5 sacks on the season for a total loss of 29 yards.
The Tornados are 0-1 versus the Wingate Bulldogs on the gridiron, as BC lost on the road at Wingate 51-7 a year ago. The Bulldogs were ranked No. 13 in the nation at the time according to the AFCA poll.
Fans are asked to bring 2-3 canned or dry goods to the game in order to help the BC Tornados support the Sharing House. For those fans that bring 2-3 canned or dry items, admission to the game is free. Join together with the BC Tornados as a community to help our neighbors in crisis.
Come out and have fun watching the Brevard College Football Team and help those in need as well!
The kickoff time is slated for 6 p.m. at Brevard Memorial Stadium in Brevard, N.C. The shuttle buses begin running at 4 p.m. and the gates will open at that time as well, two hours prior to the opening kickoff.
You can catch the game via live broadcast brought to you by the "Voice of the Tornados" Rob Walden over the radio at WSQL 1240 AM or over the Internet at www.wsqlradio.com. You may also visit the Brevard College Athletics website at www.BCTornados.com.

2010 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee
One of the more experienced players in this year's draft class, Williams has wrapped up an impressive career at Tennessee and is more than ready to take his game to the next level. The defensive tackle redshirted in Knoxville in 2005 and he was basically a full-time starter ever since the beginning of his sophomore campaign in 2007. Although he was often overshadowed on a defense led by star safety Eric Berry, Williams was arguably the glue to the Volunteer defense over the past several years. He recorded 40 tackles and two sacks as a sophomore and as a junior he was third on the team in tackles for loss and second in quarterback hurries, while making 48 total tackles. As a senior, Williams ranked first on the team with nine tackles for loss and nine quarterback hurries. He recorded 70 total tackles (36 solo), 2.5 sacks, and one fumble recovery. In addition to racking up his own stats, Williams wreaks havoc in the middle of the line to open things up for guys like Berry, linebacker Rico McCoy, and defensive end Chris Walker. "His numbers don't necessarily show it as far as sacks, but he's been a force in the middle," said former head coach Lane Kiffin during the 2009 season. Added McCoy: "I wouldn't have as many tackles without playing behind Dan. Dan's taking up a block or two every play, because he demands that attention." Williams is nowhere near as big as some of the massive defensive tackles in the SEC, but smaller appears to be bigger for Williams as he enjoys his best season with Tennessee. He arrived in Tennessee at 360 pounds; acceptable for DTs that stand around 6'5', but not 6'3'. Williams dropped down to around 340 prior to the arrival of the Kiffin coaching staff, and he now registers at an impressive 327 (at most). Consistency has been a minor issue for Williams, but he is too talented for that to be a major concern. He has been clocked as low as 5.10 in the 40-yard dash and his offseason workouts have been solid. His draft stock has been on a consistent rise and it looks like he has earned himself a first-round selection in the upcoming NFL Draft.

Prediction: 1st Round
Any team the runs a 3-4 in the NFL has to have a NT. You CANNOT run the defense without one. Guys like Dan Williams do not grow on trees, and it make take years to develop a NT. Any team that runs a 3-4 in the NFL will take a SERIOUS look at this dude Round One

Prediction: 1st Round
Dab Williams is a player many have not heard of. He is a sure first rounder. Willimas is a beast who will be a dominant nose in a 3-4. At the senior bowl he was frequently double teamed and could not be moved. could go as high as 12 to Miami.

IRVINE – A man died when his car crashed through the wall of an overpass and then fell several feet into the middle of I-5 on Sunday night, authorities said.
Firefighters arrived to find the car engulfed in flames on the freeway's center divider, said Capt. Steve Concialdi of the Orange County Fire Authority. The driver inside was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators with the Irvine Police Department are investigating the cause of the single-car crash, but they suspect the driver must have been traveling "at a speed great enough to break through the wall," said Lt. Julia Engen.
The driver has not yet been identified, she said.
The crash was reported just after 11 p.m. Sunday, officials said.
Investigators believe the driver of the Toyota Matrix had been traveling south in the carpool lane just before the fiery crash, Engen said.
The driver got off the freeway at Barranca Parkway in the carpool lane, she said. Barranca Parkway intersects the freeway exit in a "T" intersection on the overpass. The driver crossed the roadway and crashed into the retaining wall on the opposite side, she said.
The Toyota Matrix broke through the concrete wall and fencing, and then fell several feet onto the freeway below.
The vehicle landed in the center median, officials said, away from traffic lanes in both directions of the freeway.
Several southbound lanes of the freeway where shut down until 4 a.m. Monday.
Investigators are asking anyone with information to contact Sgt. Matt August at 949-724-7023.

The Discovery Triangle Development Corporation (DTDC) named Tom Kelly, CEO of Schaller Anderson, as its new board chairman. The outgoing chairman is Martin Shultz, Senior Policy Director for Brownstein, Hyatt, Farber and Schreck.
"We are delighted to welcome Tom as our new board chairman," said Don Keuth, president of the Discovery Triangle Development Corporation. "As a founding Board member, Tom has helped lead the advancement of the Discovery Triangle vision. His experience and leadership will be critical as we continue to progress with key initiatives," said Keuth.
Kelly spent more than 20 years consulting with healthcare companies and Medicaid agencies before joining Schaller Anderson, an AETNA company in 2006. As President and COO, he is primarily responsible for finance, human resources and commercial and behavioral health plan operations.
Since 2009, Kelly has been involved with the Discovery Triangle Development Corporation, a non-profit development services company that encourages, facilitates and enables (re)development opportunities in the 25-square mile economic growth area known as the Discovery Triangle.
"Metro link, Papago Park, and two vibrant and burgeoning downtowns make the Discovery Triangle the place to be for the design of a new urban experience. I'm delighted to be a small part of it," Kelly said.
As board chairman, Kelly will lead a multi-pronged tactical plan designed to ensure the region reaches its optimal level of success. The plan places a major emphasis on connectivity and mixed land use, infill development and urban form and aims to be a model for sustainable and responsible development.
Kelly received his B.A. from Wesleyan University and a Masters from New York University. In addition to the Discovery Triangle, Kelly also serves on the Board of Fidelis Care, Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center and Covenant Health System.
The Discovery Triangle is a multi-city urban development and investment initiative led by the Discovery Triangle Development Corporation (DTDC), a public/private, not-for-profit organization. As its name implies, the Discovery Triangle is a rich center for knowledge and innovation. Encompassing the urban areas of Phoenix and Tempe, Arizona, the effort capitalizes on existing infrastructure, multi-model transportation options and the hundreds of cutting-edge companies clustered in the area.

Dying early as an old maid, or man
Posted 11 October 2004 - 02:13 PM ( #1 )
Anyway, my Tama, Topo, was fine this morning - happy, healthy, and only 7 years old. Somewhere between 11 am and 1 pm, he just died. (I have to have the sound turned off at work. Yes, I am old.) But I looked down and checked on him, and had the little angel thing going on.
I thought I'd seen reports of tamagotchis living to be 16 years old or so. Why can't I make it past 7? I'm taking care of them. Truly I am.
And just how many times will the Matchmaker come anyway? I was going to see if I could get an old man or an old woman one of these days - but not if they won't live past age 7.
Started11 Oct 2004
Last Post02 Nov 2004
Posted 11 October 2004 - 02:24 PM ( #2 )
I am sorry to hear the death of your tama. Yes, tamagotchis can live to be 16 or so, but yours could have died due to overweight for too long, missed a meal, or that species' life span was short.
The matchmaker comes at three times: 10 am, 3 pm(I think), and 7 pm.
Posted 11 October 2004 - 03:22 PM ( #3 )
Posted 12 October 2004 - 02:59 AM ( #4 )
And the matchmaker might come at age 7 or maybe a bit later.
Once the matchmaker didnt come for me till it was 12!
Posted 12 October 2004 - 09:34 AM ( #5 )
I'm sorry if I rambled on and didn't make myself clear. How many times will she come? I mean, just those three times on one day, or does she come 15 times over 5 days?
The matchmaker comes at three times: 10 am, 3 pm(I think), and 7 pm.
And both that I lost to "old age" at age 7, I'd turned down the Matchmaker like 2 or 3 times on each of them already. So she will come at age 7.

Pleased so far!
By Haikukanesmom
from Kentucky
I use this scale to weigh on daily. It saves my weight from the last time I weighed and weighs in pounds and tenths. It will track up to four people's weights. I used it recently to weigh luggage for a trip and packed 50 lbs each (the limit) in each suitcase and crossed my fingers that it would be correct at the airport and it was!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

PHOTO: Britney Spears says goodbye to her blonde hair
Listen to Britney Spears on iHeartRadio
Oops, Britney Spears did it again.
She dyed her trademarked blonde hair to a dark color.
On Saturday, the pop princess posted a picture of herself in front of a mirror with her darker hair — holding a bottle — along with the message, "Spice up Valentine's Day by getting 'Naughty & Nice' ((pun intended))."
Spears, who has changed her hair color before, was referring to her two new fragrances "Naughty Remix" and "Nice Remix."
Check out the photo below of Spears and her new brown hair, and tell us what you think.

We did BLW (baby led weaning) with our second daughter. That means waiting till six months of age to introduce solids and skipping purees altogether. We started with things like small pieces of toast, fruit sticks etc.

I also did BLW and most of my children started straight on finger foods around 10 or 11 months. However they still nursed alot at that specific age. I also held my babies much of the time and they seemed to be interested in what the rest of the family was eating about 10 months or so. Each baby is very different and will show you signs of being ready to try finger foods. You can offer small amounts of what the family is eating via a spoon or sitting the food in front of the baby as well.
Have fun and offer new foods as baby seems interested.

Due West, S.C. – The Brevard College women's soccer team opened their season on the road at Erskine College with a bang taking the match 5-3 Thursday evening.
Despite falling behind 1-0 in the first 25 seconds the Tornados were able to rally and match the Flying Fleet's early goal in the first half. Brevard piled on four more first half goals to edge out Erskine.
Freshman, Elena Crowe (Candler, N.C.) nodded up the match when she scored her first collegiate goal which sparked an offensive whirlwind by the Tornados. Sophomore, Allie Hovis (Charlotte, N.C.) gave Brevard a 2-1 lead when she found the back of the net, but it was junior forward, Bailey Varley (Concord, N.C.) who put the match out of reach by netting three goals in the final seven minutes of the first half. It was Varley's second hat-trick of her career, her first came last season on September 1, 2009 when she scored three against Lees-McRae College.
Brevard's freshman goalkeeper, Crissy Moran (Franklin County, Va.) was the starter for the Tornados and she kept seven of 10 shots from crossing the goaline. Moran also picked up her first collegiate win.
The Tornados outshot the Flying Fleet 17-10, as well as edging them 4-2 in corner kicks.
Brevard's women's soccer team takes the field at home for the first time on Sunday, September 5 when they welcome the Belmont Abbey Crusaders. Game time is scheduled for 4 p.m.

The National Rifle Association has repeatedly thumbed its nose at calls for stronger gun safety measures after the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT. Current NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre shocked many by attacking these efforts and calling instead for armed guards in every school. Still, on Wednesday, past NRA President Marion Hammer took the lobbying organization's pro-gun radicalism to new heights.
On NRA's news show, Hammer warned that gun owners are "in for a massive fight like we've probably never seen before," in which the government will take guns away "in order to control the masses."
When asked about proposals to ban certain kinds of assault weapons, Hammer also charged that guns are suffering discrimination similar to racism against people of color:
HOST: And they even admit it's about banning the ugliest guns. They admit it.
HAMMER: Banning people and things because of the way they look went out a long time ago, but here they are again. The color of a gun, the way it looks. It's just bad politics.
Despite a string of mass shootings and casualties in recent years, the NRA's clout has effectively stifled conversation about America's gun violence problem. But with the public's renewed horror at the deaths of 28 people in Newtown, most of them children, the gun lobby's grip may be slipping. Democrats introduced a slew of gun safety bills on the first day of the new Congress that would ban high capacity magazines, certain kinds of assault weapons, and close the gun show loophole that allows people to buy guns without a background check.

EVERETT — A man who collapsed after a struggle with his girlfriend in south Everett in January died from health problems, officials said last week.
The Jan. 12 struggle may have contributed to Richard Balch's death, but it wasn't the primary cause, according to the Snohomish County Medical Examiner's Office.
Balch, 51, of Auburn, died from acute alcohol intoxication, the medical examiner's office determined. Contributing factors included heart disease, liver disease and possible asphyxia.
Police have been investigating the case as a potential manslaughter. They were called to the girlfriend's mobile home off Highway 99 after Balch became unresponsive when the two got into an altercation.
Multiple people at the home had been drinking heavily and smoking marijuana, according to police reports. Witnesses gave detectives conflicting stories about what happened.
Balch's manner of death remains undetermined, the medical examiner's office said. That indicates there was not enough information to make an exact medical ruling about the circumstances.
The case caught international attention after some Seattle media reported that Balch had been suffocated by his girlfriend's chest. There is nothing in the court papers to support that scenario.
The case remains under review by Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Travis Johnson. No charges have been filed.
Balch's girlfriend, 50, initially was arrested and booked for investigation of second-degree manslaughter. She was later released pending further investigation. The Herald is not naming the woman because she has not been charged with a crime.
The woman, whose blood-alcohol level later tested at nearly six times the legal limit after the struggle, reportedly told detectives she doesn't remember what happened.
A person can be found guilty of second-degree manslaughter when they cause a person's death as a result of criminal negligence.

Sunny Stroll
Strolling along the path of developmental fun with sunny smile
- Caters to two stages of development: Batting and sensory exploration (0m+) Pulling for cause & effect learning (5m+).
- Flexible arch bends forwards, backwards, up and down.
- 6 different baby-activated toys for fun on-the-go.
This product highlights the following developmental wonders:
During the first three months, your baby needs stimuli for watching and focusing. Stimuli should be placed at an optimal distance (8-12 inches) and should have some movement.
As he lies on his back facing the toys hanging within arm's reach, baby can gaze in the mirror, at the shining sun or the toys dangling in front of him.
Baby's developing senses and hand control allows him to reach out to the toys confidently, bat at them, hold them and pull them to his mouth for further exploration
Flexible arch with angle adjustment
Universal attachment clip
The flexibility of Sunny Stroll allows you to moderate the level of stimulation offered by simply adjusting the stimuli within baby's field of vision.
If your baby seems restless or uncomfortable (crying, fussing or averting his gaze), distance the arch and reconnect it or remove the sun and the butterfly. You could also fold the arch in a way that allows baby to focus on just one or two of the toys.
If your baby seems bored or uninterested, draw the arch closer to her (8-12in/20-25cm away) and adjust its position so that the toys are within baby's reach. Baby will be able to hit the toys with her hands and, later on, grab them with ease. To draw her attention, pull the handle to make the flower spin.

On an interpersonal level there will always be rivalries in any field. It's more a question of the relative number of friendly and unfriendly rivalries, what people are willing to tolerate from rivals in order to acheive their aims and objectives and the politics at an organisational level that have changed. In the early days I'm not sure that you could call even the promoters 'organisations' as they were all really one man bands.
As other people have said money changes things.......although size also changes things. Smaller communities are always likely to be more cohesive than larger ones


text: i just picked up the wireless signal booster that xploitz was talking about. it works great, however, you can't use injection with it, at least with the hardware I have. everytime i connected it to the card and started injection, it just starts going really slow almost to a halt, like 3 packets a second. this is with the hawking external usb device, which works great.

Fox News Complains That "Mainstream Media" Is "Mocking" NRA's Guns In Schools Plan
Blog ››› ››› TIMOTHY JOHNSON
Fox News is providing cover for the National Rifle Association as the organization attempts to shift the debate away from implementing stronger gun laws.
In a speech and an appearance on NBC's Meet the Press following last month's school shooting in Newtown, CT, NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre said that his group would oppose any new gun laws and instead called for Congress to "act immediately to appropriate whatever is necessary to put armed police officers in every single school in this nation." His comments were widely panned.
Fox & Friends Sunday host Dave Briggs responded to the criticism by defending LaPierre, claiming that "the mainstream media [is] mocking" the NRA leader. Briggs then suggested that media criticism of the NRA's position was unwarranted because "when you are talking about the mainstream media, it's all in this tiny little bubble up here in the Northeast, [it] has very little representation of most of the people in this country that do make up groups like the NRA."
Fox News has regularly backed the NRA and demonized gun reform efforts, even as News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch has called for "bold leadership action" on the issue.
Beyond Briggs' suggestion that the media should be more representative of the special interest groups it covers, the position of NRA leadership is not largely representative of American views on firearm ownership, or even the views of the majority of gun owners. During a December 23 appearance on NBC's Meet the Press, LaPierre stated that the NRA would oppose any new firearms regulations. Meanwhile, public support for bans on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, as well as mandatory background checks on all gun sales, is strong.
A December 19-22 USA Today/Gallup poll found that 92 percent of those surveyed favored universal background checks. Nearly two-thirds of respondents favored banning high-capacity magazines that can hold more than 10 bullets, like those used in the December 14 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT.
In August, a CNN poll found that 57 percent of Americans support a ban on assault weapons. Nearly all respondents favored universal background checks and 60 percent supported bans on high-capacity magazines.
Even gun owning households support gun violence prevention measures. A January 2011 American ViewPoint/Momentum Analysis found that 81 percent of individuals with a gun in the home are in favor of universal background checks. A CBS News/New York Times poll, also from January 2011, found that 58 percent of gun owning households supported banning high-capacity magazines.
The NRA's blanket opposition to new gun restrictions is also at odds with the views of the organization's own membership. In a July 2012 survey, Republican pollster Frank Luntz found that 74 percent of NRA members favored background checks on every gun sale. Furthermore, a majority of members polled supported heightened requirements to receive a permit to carry a concealed gun and requiring gun owners to report lost or stolen weapons to the police.
Briggs' defense of the NRA during the December 30 segment was aided by his guest, The Daily Caller's Jeff Poor, who acknowledged that the NRA "has some PR issues to work out," but then claimed that members of the media who "demonize the NRA, they really stand to hurt themselves" and "damage their credibility further."
The Daily Caller is deeply enmeshed with the NRA. The conservative website has a "Guns and Gear" section that often features the verbatim republication of NRA press releases, opinion pieces by members of NRA leadership, and even calls for its readers to carry out the NRA's agenda. The Caller has also offered its readers discounted NRA memberships and promised to give a free gun to a subscriber who joined the NRA.

Mean Betty: Gasp! Taylor Swift Throws Out Her Fan Mail – Without Reading It?!
Meanie has some terrible news, kittens: Taylor Swift apparently threw out hundreds of letters written to her by fans—without reading them first. Oh, the drama!
-Mean Betty
Oh, kittens. Or more accurately, oh, kittens who also happen to be Taylor Swift fans. Meanie isn't entirely sure how to break this to you, but she has some bad news. If you've ever written Taylor a letter, she might not respond. In fact, she might not even be reading them. This past weekend, hundreds—literally HUNDREDS—of letters addressed to the singer, many of which were unopened, were discovered… sitting in a recycling dumpster.
That's right: Taylor threw out her fan mail. Without even bothering to read it first.
There, there, kittens. It's all right. Meanie will have the butler whip you up a nice mimosa or three to help you get through this horrible, horrible tragedy.
According to WKRN Nashville, the letters were discovered by one Kylee Francescan, who was doing a little dumpster depositing of her own at Granberry School in Nashville. The letters came from all over the world, and (perhaps unsurprisingly) were covered in hearts, pictures, and glitter. True labors of love, kittens!
Many of them were addressed to Taylor Swift Entertainment, which just so happens to be a—dare Meanie say it?—P.O. Box located at a strip mall. Gasp! Can it be true? How unglamorous! But yes, kittens, it's true; the owner of the strip mall told News 2 Investigates that Taylor receives loads of fan mail at the P.O. Box, and that someone from her staff picks it up periodically.
Kylee reportedly said about her discovery, "I was like, 'That's so weird.' There were like hundreds of letters in there to Taylor Swift and I'm like, 'Oh my gosh!'" What's a concerned Nashville resident to do? Take action, of course! Continued Kylee, "I didn't know if they were stolen [or] discarded, so I threw them in a box. And I'm like, 'Somebody needs to let Taylor know.'" She did this by way of contacting Nashville's News 2 Investigates, who took down the preceding sound byte from Kylee when they arrived on the scene to see what they could sleuth out about the situation. Meanie is sure that Kylee is enjoying her fifteen minutes of fame right about now.
So just how did these strange and mysterious letters end up in that dumpster in the first place?
Read Mean Betty on Kim Kardashian + Kanye West's Ridiculously Expensive Baby Nest
Nashville News 2's Andy Cordan went on a mission to find out what he could about them. First, he took them to Taylor's record label, Big Machine Records, who said they were unsure why the letters were in the dumpster. Next, the News 2 Investigates team reached out to Taylor's management team, who said that they were unaware of the fan mail, but that they were very concerned about it. Said spokesperson Paula Erickson, "Taylor gets thousands of fan letters every day and they are delivered to her management office. After the letters are opened and read, they are recycled. The only explanation for any letters being unopened would be that a small batch of mail that was supposed to be delivered to Taylor was accidentally put with letters headed for the recycling center. We sincerely appreciate Channel 2 bringing this to our attention, and we plan to immediately pick up the mail." Accordingly, a messenger from Taylor's PR firm swung by to pick up the letters, leaving us with the vague and somewhat menacing phrase, "The letters will be handled appropriately."
What does "appropriately" mean? Will they be taken to Taylor so she can read them? Will someone on her team read them for her? (Note, kittens, that Erickson's statement said that the letters are delivered to Taylor's management office, not Taylor herself, and that they "are opened and read," not read specifically by Taylor.) Or will they simply be disposed of in a more, shall Meanie say, discrete fashion? Meanie hears that incineration is very "in" these days.
Now, Meanie realizes that there is simply no way that one lone singer would be able to wade through the mountains of mail that Taylor undoubtedly gets on her own; but at the same time, Meanie and her inherent skepticism can't help but think that this is probably standard procedure and that Tay Tay's PR folk now scrambling to cover it up as quickly as possible. Interestingly, Taylor's Twitter feed has been noticeably silent about the whole ordeal—no "OMG, guys, I am SO SORRY all those letters ended up in the recycling!," followed by "They've been rescued and I'm reading them all RIGHT NOW!," followed by "I <3 you guys!" to be found.
In all likelihood, this disposal of unread letters will continue to be the norm—only perhaps instead of throwing them out whole, some poor intern will be forced to shred them all first. Whole unopened letters are one thing, but who would have the time to piece together a bag of letters that had been shredded into teeny tiny pieces? Only the most dedicated of fans, that's who. Assuming, of course, that said fan ended up in the right place at the right time and somehow gained the knowledge through some higher power that this bag of confetti they just found contained the words of hundreds of fellow adoring Taylor Swift fans.
In any event, Meanie does hope that she hasn't dashed too many of your hopes and dreams, Taylor fans; it's a hard lesson to learn, that your idols are mere mortals who don't read every letter ever sent to them. In the meantime, Meanie wishes Taylor's PR folk the best as they try to brush this little hiccup under the rug. Talk about jobs that Meanie would never, EVER want to have!

Failure Is A Good Thing When You Learn From It
By Elizabeth Crowell, Brownie Leader of Troop 2292 in Brooklyn and Leadership Advisory Board Member
As a senior in college, I was nervous about my next step in life. After all, everything I had done up until the age of 22 was decided for me: go to school, graduate high school, and then go to college. I had worked a bunch of different jobs as a teen, starting at age 12 as a babysitter, but I was pretty sure after college I wanted to get an office job, a job in business.
In February of my senior year, I started to apply to every office job that looked remotely appealing to me. Most of the job descriptions emphasized that some prior office experience was required but I just didn't have any. I did my best to show that I was a hard worker, full of energy and enthusiasm. Unfortunately, as the rejection letters began to come in and quickly pile high, my enthusiasm waned. I realized I was failing. Over and over and over again.
Failing was a new experience for me. Up until this point, I was a good student who studied hard, and that always pulled me through. I was used to "winning" in my classroom. Whether it was correctly answering questions, passing tests, or writing well-researched and thought out papers. I began to see job searching as the opposite. I was piling up one failure after the other – and it didn't help that I decided to tape the rejection letters to my wall.
With each passing day, I was getting more and more nervous and I began to doubt myself. Will I ever find a job? Will someone ever hire me? And then it hit me. Of course I will get a job, and of course someone will hire me. It's not a matter of if I will get a job, but who will be my boss? I believe I was able to dig deep and find this courage because of being a Girl Scout. During my 5 years of Scouting I learned a lot of things: not giving up on a hike even when I was tired, or learning to not take it personally when someone did not buy cookies from me. I learned to shake off that rejection, knowing that there would be another person, probably right around the corner, who would be delighted to buy cookies from me. The secret was to keep knocking on those doors.
And so, I applied this same perspective to my job search. It wasn't about how many people rejected me: that didn't matter. All I had to do was to convince one person that hiring me was going to be a great decision. With this new attitude, I re-wrote my cover letter template, edited my resume, and approached the job listings afresh. Finally, I got an interview and then a job offer! Although I didn't have an ounce of office experience on my resume, in the end I was able to convince one woman to hire me as her Administrative Assistant. I was so thrilled! I started my position in June, just two weeks after graduating and I admit that first summer was a little rough. I had to ask a lot of questions, some of them very basic, but I made sure to get to the office early and finish whatever work was needed that day, no matter how long it took me. And my efforts paid off. Within six months, I was promoted to the role of Office Manager. Now it was my turn, to teach the new employees all the skills I had learned. I was winning again.

LONG BEACH — Long Beach port officials Thursday said terminals saw a dramatic increase in cargo in February, moving 36.6 percent more containers compared to the same month one year ago - including a nearly 46 percent surge in imports and a 17.2 percent jump in exports.
The Long Beach figures were slightly more robust than those released by the Port of Los Angeles, which reported overall volumes increasing 16.99 percent compared to February 2012. The increase was due in part to a surge in imports prior to the closure of factories for the Chinese New Year.
Long Beach's total for February was 530,967 TEUs (or 20-foot equivalent container units). The port moved 279,144 TEUs of imports, the highest volume of import containers for a February since 2007. Exports rose to 140,626 TEUs.
Empty containers were up 44.2 percent; with imports exceeding exports, empty containers are sent overseas to be refilled with goods.
The Los Angeles port figures show imports jumped 25.23 percent, from 254,359 TEUs in February 2012 to 318,547 this year. Exports dropped about 5 percent, from 164,725 TEUs last year to 156,690 this year.
For the first two months of 2013, Los Angeles port's overall container volumes have increased 4.87 percent compared to the same period in 2012.
Trans-Pacific trade this time of year, according to Long Beach port spokesman Lee Peterson, is often affected by the Chinese New Year holiday, which can slow goods production in many Asian countries that export to the U.S. The holiday is determined by the lunar calendar and in 2012 started in late January, which affected February 2012 numbers. This year, the holiday was in mid-February and its effects are more likely to be reflected in March statistics.
Also, cargo increases in recent months are in part due to the more frequent use of larger ships and the addition of service lines to Long Beach. In the latter part of last year, Mediterranean Shipping Co. and CMA CGM, two of the largest ocean carriers in the world, established exclusive hubs at the Port of Long Beach.

Violet ghetto shit, that stays!
take a box of Bic pens, cut open, place in low amount of 90% alchahol till that ink is nice and dark, and thick, throw in some dot 3.... and this is something i fucked with... but take a small container of super glue... cut and empty it into a lil cup, mix it with equal amounts of alchahol and dot 3... and add that to your ink solution.. it will thin it enough for almost any mop or marker.. and stays VERY well.
sharpie magnum is probably the best paint marker on the market
hahaha yea its awesome!
Fuck that. Expo's are the way to go.
Mods jacked my sig.
Yeah some markers suck like the otr.60 it leaks and shit the fucking worst marker ever!!!! The otr shorties the 184 flowpen and the 160 paint, i like those i dont even bother refilling them, one time use throw it out. I keep it real with the krink mini mops tho they work really well, dont leak and easy to refill easy to replace the nib. Dont like the molotow markers they r shit also. The only one i buy from molotow r the little empty ones and dont use anything other then alchohol based ink to refill them, ONLY molotow ink I prefer the speedflow straight black. If u use a xylene based ink it just fucks the nib up and the marker doesnt work right. Oh also the little mini crushers they sell on here with smash ink those work pretty well too
For bombing I use 2 OTR .001 Soul Tips. They write smooth on most stuff, have a good nib and don't leak, you can also get nice drips with them if you give them a squeeze. I use Grog Buffproof Ink with them.
soultip with the grog buff proof ink... super super drippy and the grog stays foreverrrr... i have ghosts of my tags riding in the subways from 2 years ago still
molotow is the best
decocolor paint marker is a nice alternative to molotow
