[B] Hey people hopefully someone in the know can help me out with this
wanting to get LCLT but unsure if a plain bulk LCLT will be good enough or does it really need to be the CARNIPURE type made by Lonza which is found in a few supps, or is plain regular LCLT good enough?
Does the 300g LCLT powder by AInnovations smell/taste fishy?
Read conflicting views as to when it should be dosed some say pre-workout some say post workout, would it not do its job taken either time?
If it couldnt be taken pre-workout then would it be ok to take it with breakfast as being the meal before training, or would postworkout be better?
Read alot about it but unsure as to the best dosing, if it really matters that is
Poliquin says carnitine should be taken with carbs as the insulin spike will help and is needed to actually load it into the muscle, or failing that it can be taken with omega 3 fatty acids as they will do the same thing, BUT says it must be taken with either carbs for the insulin release or the omega 3s
So for me either taking LCLT postworkout with carbs, or with breakfast before training from the insulin spike from the carbs and at the sime time my omega 3 liquid, one of these scenarios would be best for me
Thank you - 07-15-2013, 09:24 PM
2-3g LCLT pre or post workout is fine. No need to take with carbs. Haven't tried AI Sports LCLT. Only MyoBuild from MuscleTech and Compete from iForce.
If androgen receptor density preservation/recovery is your goal, take 2-3g preworkout. If muscle carnitine loading and subsequent substrate shifts is your goal, take it with high carb meals
So i will only get the benefits of increased AR if i take it pre-workout, would it still not apply taken postworkouts?
in all the 21day studies on LCLT did the subjects not take it postworkout?
Could pre-workout LCLT be taken with a meal like breakfast approx 90mins before training?
or even 2g pre and 2g post?
Is there any chance i could feel/notice anything from using LCLT?
Do i need to use the carnipure LCLT or will AInnovations LCLT be good enough, and does it taste/smell fishy??
Thanks Coop and anyone else who adds, appreciated. - 07-16-2013, 07:33 PM
It's difficult to tell because the benefits of LCLT are likely two-fold in function:
A. An antioxidant-esque protective effect on the muscle cell + improved waste product removal
B. A gradual elevation in muscle carnitine that may improve aerobic performance and enhance fat loss
Taking LCLT just postworkout, without carbs, is a waste IMO. Taking it postworkout, during peak insulin sensitivity, with carbs, would be beneficial for point B.
If you want to experience the benefits of point A, take it preworkout.
You may feel less sore from use LCLT. My recommendation is the nutraplanet brand. It does smell fishy, like any carnitine. -
So with bfast the meal before workout is ok, and/ or postworkout is ok with carbs also?
I am only interested in its increase of AR properties, any improvement in recovery/performance and any fat burning benefits and hopefully increasing muscle carnitine levels
dosing it in one of the above ways be ok with bfast with carbs or postworkout with carbs, would the dose be best split between these 2 times or would just one or the other be ok?
Do i need to purchase carnipure carnitine or would AI carnitine still do the job?, (cant order from nutraplanet as in UK), but i dont fancy the fishy taste/odour or is carnipure still the same?
I have no probs getting carnipure if its really worth it
Sorry for the Qs just wana be clear on this
Cheers Mr C - 07-17-2013, 08:41 AM
I have a tub of the AI 300g LCLT - It smells fishy dry, but once you mix it with water or in with your preWO there is no fishy taste or smell that I've ever been able to detect.
Also, I experienced no fishy body odor, fishy sweat smell, etc. during workouts. (I heard that some people may be prone to this) - 07-17-2013, 02:35 PM
LCLT is supposed to smell fishy and be sticky. If it's not, it's not LCLT. I wouldnt buy from AI. The first two tubs I bought from there were as described. The next two I got tasted like sugar. I was then sent replacements only to receive the same thing. Was offered a refund. I am still waiting for my said refund 2 months later.
Also have read similar reviews from multiple sites reporting the same non smell, taste. - 07-17-2013, 07:41 PM
[QUOTE=mr.cooper69;4088674]If you dose it postworkout with carbs, you get the fat loss/muscle carnitine benefits. Same with breakfast.
Does it actually help with fat loss or only long term if muscle carnitine is elevated?
Coop, wont i get increased AR by dosing it in these ways, the above benefits sound good but i also want the increased AR benefits recovery etc,
if not how do i get round this, does it need to be taken just immediately pre workout as the only way to increase AR, OR would bfast as the meal before training approx 90mins not class as a pre-workout dose?
So for it to be proper LCLT it all must have a fishy odour even taste regardless of brand/supplier, is carnipure the same also?
I will go with a carnipure LCLT play safe if not then possibly Ainnovations despite the poor reports of its taste,odour,inconsistency
Have come across a liquid LCLT carnipure supp by bricker labs seems could be an option
Thanks man - 07-17-2013, 07:45 PM
that puts me off the ainnovations although very cheap seems a little inconsistent between batches as you say
you mean you have read of others using the AI LCLT and report no fishy smell or taste?
i want to use a good product with no inconsistency and ideally no fish taste or smell
cheers - 07-17-2013, 09:41 PM
[QUOTE=miniarnold;4089503]You should take it preworkout for the AR benefits. The AR is "protected" by LCLT, which scavenges detrimental metabolites during exercise.
If you want to elevate muscle carnitine, you will need to use it every day with a high carb meal for months on end. - 07-18-2013, 12:15 AM
So taking it postworkout i WONT GET the increased AR benefits, only when its taken pre?
taking it with bfast before training with carbs not count as pre-workout dose?
and could it be taken pre with or without carbs and post with carbs for all benefits?
Is all brands of LCLT inc carnipure supposed to smell / taste fishy?
Thanks for your help - 07-18-2013, 08:25 AM
I feel like I've answered this ten times lol... Have you been reading my replies?
The answers to all 4 questions in your above post are yes. You can do 1.5g preworkout, 1.5g post workout with carbs - 07-18-2013, 08:45 AM
sorry just wanted to clarify-
pre-workout with bfast will still give me increased AR even though not immediately pre-workout, and also help load muscle carnitine from the insulin?
think i will just dose it once for convienence either with bfast with carbs or postworkout with carbs @3-4g daily, will i get increased AR and load mucsle carnitine this way?
both types are supposed to have fishy odour/taste both regular and carnipure LCLT?
Thanks for clarifying this for me - 07-18-2013, 03:14 PM
The only bulk LCLT i can get is AI, so unsure wether to go with this due to bad reports of the odour/taste, which may be a good enough LCLT to do the job
or give a carnipure version a try such as NOW foods or BRICKER labs even do carnipure in liquid form - 07-18-2013, 03:15 PM
Yes from what i gather carnipure is the tm used by lonza switzerland who say there LCLT is the one the studies used
It seems that the carnipure type may be less likely to be fishy in taste and odour than plain bulk, and perhaps that bit better quality - 07-19-2013, 05:40 PM
I wonder if taking LCLT with a big dose of bcaas intra workouts, if the bcaas would spike insulin enough to get the LCLT loaded into the muscle cells
or for this purpose the insulin spike off bcaas alone would not be great enough to shuttle the carnitine in, so it would be best taken with a higher carb meal/postworkout carb protein drink
or could just a small insulin spike be effective
Could take the LCLT intra workout with bcaas which is either 4 servings of recover pro, or 4 servings of extend
not sure if this protocol would cause a great enough insulin spike to get the carnitine into the muscle, vs taking with a carb rich meal or drink - 07-21-2013, 02:11 PM
Yea. But im wondering if 4 servings of either would spike insulin enough to load the carnitine thats all, guess no1 knows that.

With its witches, spells, and imprecations, Macbeth lends itself to non-realistic interpretations. Setting this medieval Scottish story in a modern-day mental ward, as does this one-man interpretation starring Alan Cumming and directed by John Tiffany and Andrew Goldberg, heightens the sense of strangeness. By turning the tale into a schizophrenic hallucination, everything is allowable – nothing has to make rational sense. There isn't much room for a sense of the supernatural, though, and without that Macbeth can seem rather gruelling.
This evening, happily, tends to avoid the sludge. With the text trimmed to an interval-less hour and 45 minutes (and this is already the shortest of Shakespeare's tragedies), the actor canters along. Alone onstage except for two actors who appear as medical staff to sedate the star when his dreams (the murder of Duncan, for example) become too feverish, Cumming displays a command of text I have not heard since his Hamlet almost two decades ago.
The directors have done their job: Cumming is an actor who can easily slip the rails without a trusted guide, and rarely does such over-acting occur here. The setting also acts as a necessary control. The actor is trapped in a Victorian sanatorium, with the green tiles of Merle Hensel's set looming high above him.
If the walls are a throwback, the evening's technology is up-to-date. Cumming appears on monitors as the three witches, roles providing the kind of gender bend that the actor could do in his sleep. When forced literally to sleep walk – as Lady Macbeth – he is equally fine. And the damned-spot sequence becomes a textbook demonstration of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
In this production, presented in New York by the Lincoln Center Festival after an acclaimed run last month in Glasgow, the directors make eloquent use of space: much needed if we are not to grow bored by having a sole performer assume all the parts. But the impact depends on the performer. Cumming moves between the iconic figures and the bit parts with dexterity. He spins round in a wheelchair as a comic Duncan.
Unforgettably, he performs Lady Macbeth's seduction of her spouse. She straddles him as he says: "Bring forth men-children only." On paper, it could all register as terribly camp, but Cumming makes it work. If the interpretation brings forth no startling textual perspectives, it pierces the heart of the horror.

Lockheed Martin Delivers Third SBIRS HEO Satellite Payload To U.S. Air Force
SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 1, 2013 – Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] has delivered the third of four highly elliptical earth orbit (HEO) satellite payloads contracted by the U.S. Air Force as part of the Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS).
The SBIRS program delivers timely, reliable and accurate missile warning and infrared surveillance information to the President of the United States, the Secretary of Defense, combatant commanders, the intelligence community and other key decision makers. The system enhances global missile launch detection capability, supports the nation's ballistic missile defense system, expands the country's technical intelligence gathering capacity and bolsters situational awareness for warfighters on the battlefield.
The SBIRS architecture includes a resilient mix of satellites in geosynchronous earth orbit (GEO), hosted payloads in HEO orbit, and ground hardware and software. The integrated system supports multiple missions simultaneously, while providing robust performance with global, persistent coverage.
"With this successful delivery of HEO 3, our full attention is now on completing HEO 4 and GEOs 3 and 4. We remain focused on delivering unprecedented infrared surveillance capabilities to our warfighters," said Jeff Smith, vice president of Lockheed Martin's Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) mission area.
Lockheed Martin's SBIRS contracts include four HEO payloads, four GEO satellites, and ground assets to receive, process, and disseminate the infrared mission data. The first two HEO payloads were delivered in 2004 and 2005 and have provided mission performance surpassing specifications. Prior to its delivery, the HEO 3 payload successfully completed rigorous environmental and functional testing to demonstrate performance in family with HEOs 1 and 2.
"This is the third SBIRS HEO payload delivery and the first from the SBIRS Follow On Production Program (SFP)," said Steve Toner, vice president of Northrop Grumman's Military and Civil Space business unit. "Its sensor will enhance the high quality of information being provided to our warfighters by the SBIRS constellation."
On May 17, Air Force Space Command declared GEO 1 operational and recommended Integrated Tactical Warning and Attack Assessment (ITW/AA) certification of the asset to USSTRATCOM. On March 19, the Air Force's second SBIRS GEO satellite (GEO 2) was successfully launched and has been delivering outstanding infrared data as part of on-orbit testing. Earlier that month Lockheed Martin received contracts to procure long-lead items for GEOs 5 and 6.
The SBIRS team is led by the Infrared Space Systems Directorate at the U.S. Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center. Lockheed Martin is the SBIRS prime contractor, Northrop Grumman is the payload integrator. Air Force Space Command operates the SBIRS system.
Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin is a global security and aerospace company that employs about 118,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration, and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products, and services. The Corporation's net sales for 2012 were $47.2 billion.

Unemployed? Join the crowd. On Friday the Labor Department provided further confirmation of the grim job situation: Nonfarm payrolls fell by a greater-than-expected 159,000 in September, the biggest decline since March 2003. The nation's unemployment rate stood at 6.1% in both August and September, the highest point in five years.
If you're pounding the pavement, or fear you may be soon, it's time to brush up on the benefits available to help you cope. The most important is unemployment insurance.
In Pictures: 10 Tips For the Unemployed
State-funded unemployment benefits are available for just 26 weeks; the national average unemployment check is $280 a week, with the amount varying by state and your previous earnings. After that, under the Emergency Unemployment Compensation program signed into law by President George W. Bush on June 28, the federal government provides up to another 13 weeks. (You get the same amount you got from the state.)
But 39 weeks isn't long enough for some workers in the current economy. Next week, unemployment benefits are set to run out for nearly 800,000 people who lost their jobs earlier. Advocates for the unemployed and some politicians–including a lot of Democrats and Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger of California–are pushing for federal benefits to be extended for another seven weeks (and for 13 weeks in states with the highest unemployment rates.)
"This is something Congress and the president can do something about," argues Maurice Emsellem, the policy co-director of the National Employment Law Project. "They should be expanding benefits given the surging level of unemployment."
But, as of now, the Bush administration opposes the extension and Congress is likely to adjourn for the election season without passing an extension. (The House overwhelmingly, 368-28, passed a bill today approving the extension, so the Senate could take it up for final passage in a lame duck session in November.)
Meanwhile, if you're unemployed, certain tax benefits may also be available. For example, you may be able to deduct job-hunting costs or the costs of moving for a new job. Plus, you may be able to take penalty-free withdrawals from an IRA to pay for health insurance, including continuing on your ex-employer's plan under what's know as COBRA.
As usual, the tax angles are tricky. Download the Internal Revenue Service's just-updated Publication 4128, "Tax Impact of Job Loss."

At long last, Chelsea Handler is coming to network television. Beginning January 11 at 8:30 ET, NBC will air "Are You There, Chelsea?," a sitcom based on the comedienne's best-selling book, "Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea." The mid-season series will star Laura Prepon as Handler's sitcom surrogate — also named Chelsea — while Handler herself will appear occasionally as Chelsea's right-wing conservative sister Sloane.
In anticipation of the series premiere, Handler and Prepon phoned a few television journalists to discuss their new show — particularly why Handler decided to play a character so unlike herself, whether it was difficult for Prepon to channel Handler's salty persona, how closely the series will parallel Handler's book and how they plan to push network boundaries.
"I've been playing myself for 35 years," Handler explained, when asked why she isn't playing the lead character, who is based on and named after her. "I'm not really getting as much out of it as I would a challenge to play something that's completely against type. So it's been much more fun to put on a wig and […] I'm very, very uptight. I'm very sarcastic, still, the character, but I'm very kind of buttoned-up. So it's fun to just kind of dress schlumpy and have a completely different appearance and have a completely different attitude."
It may not be hard for Handler to play against type but how difficult was it for Prepon to play a character based on the acerbic E! personality?
"People ask me if I'm nervous playing Chelsea, [especially since] she's in the scene right next to me," explained the "That '70s Show" alum. "And honestly, I've never been nervous or stressed out about it. She really lets me do my own take on her. And it's been amazing."
Watch An Interview With Chelsea And Laura:
[iframe http://xfinitytv.comcast.net/tv/Are-You-There%2C-Chelsea-/143121/2185637291/Press-Tour%3A-Are-You-There%2C-Chelsea-/embed 580 476]
That being said, there was one Handler characteristic that Prepon really wanted to nail down.
"I mean, Chelsea speaks with a very certain pattern," the "Chelsea" star said. "And when we were doing a lot of voiceovers she really helped me a lot with a particular way that she speaks, which is awesome. But other than that, they really trust me to do my thing. It's great."
Fans of Handler's ribald novel may be curious to know just how closely the network series will follow the book's often R-rated anecdotes.
"With any show it's like in the beginning you might stick to certain stories and certain things," Prepon revealed. "But as the characters evolve [and] become more established, I think that it becomes more and more loosely based on the stories."
Even if the series does stray from the novel's plot points, Prepon promises that it maintains the novel's racy tone.
"I think audiences are more mature now. I think they're smarter now. […] We definitely push the envelope and we're very, kind of, risqué."
Additionally, Prepon and Handler also discussed why Prepon was perfect for the lead role, whether Handler's dog Chunk will be guest-starring on the series and the two subjects that the E! comedienne absolutely refuses to joke about.
Why Prepon is perfect to play Chelsea:
Handler: "As soon as we all saw Laura we thought she was perfect. She's very down to earth, you know, she's very direct — which are three things that I'd like to identify myself with being. […] She's a very cool, laidback kind of girl. The whole thing about my books and my life is that I create this drama [that's] always around me. It gives me an excuse to look like the sanest person in the bunch, even though some of my actions are ridiculous. So she kind of encapsulated that from the minute we saw her."
How Chelsea's TV father will play into the series:
Handler: "[Chelsea's father] is a pretty sizeable component in the show. […] We cast Lenny Clarke, who is really, really hilarious in the show. He doesn't really physically look anything like my father, which is probably a favor to America. It's not a pure depiction. Every character isn't a pure depiction of what you read about in the book, but the essence of everybody is kind of there."
Whether Chelsea's beloved dog Chunk will appear on the show:
Handler: "I don't know. Maybe we'll have Chunk come on. We haven't thought about that yet. We have to film the show in Burbank, which is the Valley, and Chunk's never been to the Valley. So I don't want to shock his system just yet. He's just dealing with the fact that I got another dog."
How the show is similar to "Cheers:"
Prepon: "Our main set piece on the show is a sports bar which […] has a little bit of a 'Cheers' vibe where everybody does kind of know your name. You know what I mean? You feel comfortable there, and I really think audiences are going to love coming back to see what's happening with us, which is great."
The things that Chelsea Handler refuses to make fun of on her NBC program and in her stand-up routines:
Handler: "Ugly babies…or people who are dying. […] Those two things aren't necessarily funny to me."
Why Laura is having such a good time filming the series:
Handler: "She's definitely getting her share of good times, though, because she has a different guest star — male guest star — every week that she has to make out with or have sex with."

With less than a month to go before the release of Man of Steel, Warner Bros. is pulling out the big guns trailer-wise. The latest: This menacing message from General Zod threatening – and kind of delivering – the annihilation of Earth if Superman doesn't surrender to him.
"Your world has sheltered one of my citizens. He will look like you, but he is not one of you," Zod (played by already ominous actor Michael Shannon), announces to the people of Earth. "To those of you who know of his location, the fate of your planet rests in your hands."
Zod goes on to deliver this message to the one he knows as Kal-El: "surrender within 24 hours or watch this world suffer the consequences."
This is presumably the last full trailer to hit before the release of Man of Steel and it clearly saved the best for last. Huge action sequences, more longing looks between Clark Kent (Henry Cavill) and his Lois Lane (Amy Adams), and even threats from Zod's partner Faora (Antje Traue), who warns "you will not win, for every human you save we will kill a million more."
But, will director Zack Snyder's Man of Steel slay audiences? It's looking good, but we'll know for sure June 14.

Mastering Big Data Management
CIOs are deploying a potent mix of tools, techniques, and talent to uncover the valuable business insights and patterns hidden in mountains of big data.
The exponential growth of digital data continues to accelerate. By one estimate, 90 percent of the data that exists in the world today was generated during the last two years.
Meanwhile, mining business data for opportunities continues to prove challenging. Despite the considerable budget and effort some organizations have expended to extract value from their own rapidly growing stores of raw data, few have mastered core data management across the enterprise.
Yet growing numbers of CIOs and their IT teams are embracing a promising approach to data management. By arming highly trained data scientists with the latest analytics, visualization, and quantitative modeling tools, among other technologies, they are making terabytes of data born of social media, transactional systems, and customer apps more accessible, meaningful, and expressive—in other words, giving it a face—which can help uncover valuable insights and patterns.
Moreover, man and machine working in tandem is making data analysis efforts more affordable and manageable. CIOs are realizing that by coupling human cognitive acuity with machine learning, visualization, and other data interaction tools, organizations may be able to may deliver more timely results with less infrastructure investment.
These capabilities will likely prove more valuable with each passing year: Research suggests that by 2020, global data volume will reach 40,000 exabytes, or 40 trillion gigabytes—more than 5,200 gigabytes for every man, woman, and child.

What is missing in the review choices is quality of stay. I give it 5 balls. If you wish to stay in a glitzy hotel room with TV, room service and no interactions with fellow travelers, look elsewhere. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting with other guests while sipping the famous Brazil national drink, capirinia while munching on freshly made empinadas after a day at iguazu falls. You meet so many interesting people who are of the same mindset when traveling. John Fernandez is a very intelligent person gifted with a great sense of humor and slightly offbeat style. Beware of the dog. While small and cute, it has a disagreeable side and a penchant for barking at John the owner and the staff. Do not let your child grab for her, as this might trigger an unpleasant event. We will go back in an instant if we revisit the area. Book long in advance for this B&B.

The Secret Garden, however, is not a secret anymore as each of us who has enjoyed the wonderful hospitality of innkeeper John Fernandes tell the online world about our stay in Puerto Iguazu. His warm smile, generosity and willingness to help were exceptional. Additionally, his evening "drinks on the patio" gave us the opportunity to interact with John and the other friendly guests, not to mention his delightful dog Roxy. Besides being a very unique, intelligent and downright interesting individual, John is a wonderful photographer with a photo gallery on the premises. One soon realizes that the simplicity of the Secret Garden becomes sublime. It was a definite highlight of our forty-two day trip to South America. ~Barbara and Don Krumpe~

After reading the previous 10 reviews, all I can say is every word is true. The Secret Garden is a wonderful place to truly compliment the magnificent Iguaza Falls

We stayed at Secret Garden Iguazù for 2 nights and we felt like at home. The rooms are big, clean and extremely confortable. Breakfast is great and has a large variety of fruits. We took it in the patio staring at colibris flying around!! Location is very closed to bus stop taking you to the falls, and in case the Innkeeper John can arrange a private taxi for you. By the way don't miss John's caipirinha served at 7.00 p.m.! Overall great experience

We had a wonderful time at the Secret Garden. John took great care of us. He gave us a tour of the city when we first arrived so that we knew what was there. Our room was large, pretty and very clean. Every night, we joined John and the current guests for drinks. We looked forward to this every night as it was fun to hear what everyone was doing and where they were done. John was also able to give some insight on Argentina and Iguazu. The place located only a short walk from the bus station, the supermarket and to area restaurants. John's staff was also great. We enjoyed meeting them and Maria is a great cook. We would stay there again without any hesitation. It really made our trip to Iguazu special!

My husband and I stayed here in Sept 08 as part of our honeymoon. We wanted to stay somewhere with personality and we certainly received that. John's hospitality is outstanding, he has an ability to make everyone feel welcome encouraged by his night time Capriana's and snacks, which were delicious. He is helpful in meeting all of your needs and a genuinely decent guy. A real find.

My wife and I choose this bed and breakfast based on reviews from tripadvisor.com and the Moon handbook. We booked well in advance and secured a room, which has been one of the best places we have stayed so far in South America. The clean, brightly painted room/bungalow we stayed in was warm and homey. It had a nice sitting area inside the room, as well as on the porch. The bathroom was clean and modern, fresh towels provided daily. John arranged our pick up from the airport, so when we got off the plane Filiberto was there with a sign with our name on it. Our favorite part was the owner John. His hospitality is unmatched anywhere we have stayed so far. He is great to talk to and the evening drinks on the deck were amazing! He has great knowledge of the town and when we first arrived, drove us around to show us the different parts and restaurants he recommends. He also has the great, friendly dog, Roxy. I would recommend this B&B to anyone who wants to be near town, 10 minute walk to restaurants but is a quiet residential neighborhood. The B&B has wifi. Also, the bus stop for the falls is only two blocks away. Thank you John for a great time!

My husband and I stayed with John at the Secret Garden in May. All was perfection. Our room was simple, lovely, cheerful and spotless. John was the perfect host - both at breakfast and cocktail hour. He also arranged a driver for us to and from the airport and to and from the park. All was arranged with aplomb. We hope to return one day and repeat a wonderful travel experience.

Absolutely the best place we stayed at in Argentina. John is is superb host and you are made to feel welcome the moment you arrive. He was very helpful in suggesting and arranging our trips out and I am very grateful for the help he gave us in sorting out our future accommodation in Argentina. If you like greenery the garden is lovely with lots of what I assume to be humming birds coming to visit. A very memorable stay and worthy of the highest recommendation. Ralph Wood

A great place really close to the town and the falls and a very kind and attentive owner!

Our new favorite place in all of Argentina for not only the glorious falls, but the memories of evening cocktails and conversation around John´s candle lit table. After a day of hiking and exploration, Secret Garden was sublime in comfort, attention to detail and most importantly, our gracious host John.

This decadent pie is loaded with juicy apples and adorned with a streusel-lover's crunchy topping. The pie is best served the day it's made. If you're short on time, look for a ready-made whole-wheat pie crust in the freezer section of the store.
Nutrition Profile: High Fiber Low Cholesterol Low Sodium
Serves 10
Prep Time 60 min
Total Time 210 min.
Step 1
To prepare crust: Whisk 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Cut in 4 tablespoons butter and cream cheese using a pastry blender or a fork until the mixture is pebbly. Add oil; stir until evenly moistened. Sprinkle water over the mixture; toss with a fork to combine. Knead the dough in the bowl a few times. Gather into a ball, press into a disk and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 days.
Step 2
Roll the dough into a 14-inch circle between 2 large pieces of parchment or wax paper. Peel off the top sheet and invert the dough into a 9-inch pie pan. Peel off the remaining paper. Press the dough firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Tuck the overhanging dough under, forming a double-thick edge. Crimp the edge with your fingers. Using a fork, prick the dough in several places. Refrigerate the crust for 15 minutes.
Step 3
Position a rack in the lower third of the oven; preheat to 375°F. Bake the crust for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool, about 30 minutes.
Step 4
To prepare filling: Combine apples, 1/2 cup brown sugar, lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a large bowl. Let stand for 10 minutes. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour over the apples and toss again; mound the filling into the cooled crust. Coat the crust edges with cooking spray, return the pie to the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
Step 5
Meanwhile, prepare topping: Combine 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour, oats, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Cut in 2 tablespoons butter with a pastry blender or a fork until evenly distributed. Stir in orange juice concentrate and nuts.
Step 6
After the pie has baked for 30 minutes, remove it from the oven and scatter the topping over the apples. Return it to the oven (covering the edges of the crust with foil if they're browning too quickly) and bake until the topping is golden and the juices are bubbling around the edges, 20 minutes more. Cool for at least 1 hour before serving.

the "visceral" nature of the M5 all lies in the kick of the (unrefined?) SMG and the engine/exhaust note. what I suggest is drive the M5 at the crawling speeds you would drive it in the city. it's absolutely horrid IMO. but yeah, pretty cool at WOT on an open road. everything else, the M3 wins. the DCT is clearly next generation tech and superior in every way....it's just that some people prefer the kick of SMG as a personal preference.
The E46 M3 SMG is spectacular in this regard as well. I love mine. Surprisingly easy to crawl around town as well.
I would recommend checking out the E46 M3 SMG. They are very cheap these days. 20-24mpg. Reasonable maintenance costs. Insane at high RPMs. One of the best looking cars ever made IMO. Wonderful raucous mechanical all intake noise with a slight hint of rasp from the rear when you get on it.
Most of the SMG hate on the internet is from people who test drove it in automatic mode and rightfully hated it.
M5s after the E39 have done nothing for me.

The Logic of the Quran Led Me to Islam Printed From: IslamiCity.org Category: Religion - Islam Forum Name: Stories - How I Became Muslim? Forum Discription: Stories - How I Became Muslim? URL: http://www.IslamiCity.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24077 Printed Date: 30 March 2017 at 1:29pm Topic: The Logic of the Quran Led Me to Islam Posted By: peacemaker Subject: The Logic of the Quran Led Me to Islam Date Posted: 13 October 2012 at 10:37pm
Because if we are going to speak about following, if we are going to say that we believe in God and we agree upon the fact that we believe in God, and even if we accept the fact or the concept of revelation from God, and if we want to follow this revelation, one of the first and most important aspects is that we have to have a strong reason to believe that this revelation has actually been preserved in its original source. It does not make any sense really to say that Im going to follow Gods revelation when we realize or when we know that what we are holding in our hands perhaps has not been preserved, or may have good reason to believe that it hasnt been preserved. So, one of the first things that stuck out to me with respect to the Quran has to do with preservation of the Quran. The Quran was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) for a period of 23 years. And so this book was passed on by the Prophet Muhammad to his followers, and it has been preserved minutely since that time to this day. And as a non-Muslim reading about Islam, I was somewhat surprised by how many of the non-Muslims, many of them who were not very polite in their writings to Islam, but even they admitted and accepted the fact that the Quran that we have today is actually the Quran that was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad, that it was the Quran that Prophet Muhammad taught or passed on to his companions over 14 hundred years ago. And as I said this was a very significant point for me because I had actually studied the history of the Bible before that time, and obviously Im not going to get into details of that kind of discussion here, but I can just say that the history of the Quran is completely different from the history of the Bible, and from the earliest days this Quran was known and recognized and preserved. It was not compiled by later counsels some two or three hundred years after the time of Prophet Muhammad. So this is one thing that stood out to me, and as I said this was of great significance to me in the sense that if we are going to follow something thats coming from God then we have to make sure that what we have is actually that thing that came from God. An Invitation to Think and Ponder And then with respect to the teachings of the Quran also, and what the Quran contains, one of the aspects of the Quran is the fact that throughout the Quran God is telling human beings to think and to ponder. And the thing that God is calling mankind to in the Quran is as the Muslim scholars say is actually something that is consistent with their nature. It is something that is understandable to the human being because this is actually the natural way that human beings have been created. And therefore God throughout the Quran tells you to ponder over creation and think about things and this call and this argument and the conclusion of it is that you will recognize that fact that there is actually only one Creator and that this Creator is deserving the worship and so forth.
And so therefore there is no leap of faith in Islam. The definition of faith in Islam from an Islamic perspective, from a Quranic perspective, is not to believe in something that you cannot prove. Many people in the west when they think of faith when you tell them about belief or something that there is a mystery or something that you cant prove and so forth. This is not the way of the Quran. The Quran is calling people to a truth that they can recognize, a truth that they can understand. And as I said Muslim scholars explained this by the fact that this truth is actually what their own human nature is all about. This is what their soul is seeking. So the fact the Quran was continually calling people to think and to ponder and giving them arguments in the Quran. Even in the Quran itself, God is giving people arguments showing the proof of the Quran, showing the proof of what God is calling us to. And this was another aspect that struck me quite a bit at that time. And at the same time also some of the differences between the Quran and the Bible in particular, and this by the way is not supposed to be a critique of the Bible or Christianity or Judaism or whatever, but since they asked me to speak about the Quran and this is my own experience I felt this is the best way to express myself. At that time when I was a non-Muslim, most of the books that I was reading about Islam were actually by non-Muslims. And some of the things that they were claiming about the Prophet Muhammad is that most of the Quran, what they say that he just stole from the Bible stole from the Christians and the Jews that he knew before and so forth. And actually the differences between the Quran and the Bible is another aspect that influenced me greatly. And I would just like to highlight for example the issue of the nature of God. All the Quran is about God. And if you think about God and His attributes and so forth as the Quran explains it, you will get a very clear picture of who it is that you are worshiping, and you get a clear picture of the kind of excellence and greatness of this object of worship. And so when you read for example passages in the Old Testament and compare them to what you find in the Quran, you find that if the Prophet Muhammad was really stealing from the Bible, its amazing that the Prophet Muhammad was very selective in stealing from the Bible! For example, in the story of Adam and Eve you find the story also in the Quran. You find that they were told not to eat from a tree, but the Quran doesnt say it was the tree of knowledge. It did not say that God was afraid that humans if they eat from that tree would compete with God. But just said they were forbidden to eat from a tree and they ate from that tree. And then God came to them and spoke to them and taught them words of repentance like what we find in the Bible. But you dont find for example God walking in the Garden of Eden looking for Adam, like you find in the Bible! In Genesis, you find God walking in the garden and looking for Adam Where are you, whats happened. You will not find these kinds of things in the Quran. The teachings about God in the Quran as I said will teach you about the real attributes of God. You will not find anything similar for example to Jacob wrestling with God and Jacob defeating God in a wrestling match, or similar kinds of things you find especially throughout the Old Testament. Or another important one in the Old Testament is God repenting of the evil that He himself committed, that you find in Exodus 30:2-14... ------------- Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny? Qur'an 55:13 |

Hey Big Mike....I say right on brother. Keep up the good work.
Senior Moments
Trip Start
Dec 01, 2010
Trip End
Mar 01, 2011
It seems that every eating establishment, grocery store and some thrift stores offer a Senior discount. You see, during the Winter months here in Myrtle Beach, things are very slow. Gone are the tens of thousands of visitors swarming to the beach, spending money like water. Eating, drinking and shopping like the world was coming to an end, these folks are the backbone of the areas economy. With them gone, things are SLOW. So slow in fact that some businesses shut down over the Winter. Enter the Seniors.
Restaurants have realized that the Senior population increases over the Winter months. Most are of modest to great wealth. The Seniors wallets are full but have a tight locking system on them. Hence, the discounts. Nothing gets these folks to open the vaults like a Senior discount. It does not matter what it is, buy 1 get 1, 30% off, early bird specials, whatever, as long as it says Senior discount.
It did not take me long to realize that I needed to get in on this racket. Now, I have an AARP card that was sent to me when I turned 50 in 2010. I never pulled it out or even thought about it's benefits. Well slap me in the head and hose me down. What was I thinking? This stupid card thing saves me money down here. I will take a Senior discount on anything, I'm not proud or embarrassed at all. Some folks have told me that they would never ask for a discount because they don't want to be called a Senior. My answer to that is BULLS_IT! I don't care if I get 5 cents
off something, I got this card thing so give me the discount, if you don't want yours, give it to me.
Some places have tried to be slick and up the age for the discount. They don't realize that I'm like a Marine, I adapt - adjust to the situation! You want me to be 60, no problem. I grew up as a problem child. You don't think I've forgotten how to produce a fake ID? Paalleeese!! I have ID for any age you want my friend. I can be 70 if need be. I have discharge papers from every military branch during every major conflict dating back to WWII. I can produce a photo ID of me at any age also. Do you know you can morf yourself on the Internet and print the picture? There is no stopping me. I'm out of control!
Now here is a funny thing. If you go to a place and they offer a discount, the younger folks working could care less. They offer it without even asking. Sometimes more then expected.They will discount everything. Groceries, wine,beer, gas, anything. If you get a Senior that happens to be working, watch out. They treat this discount privilege like it was the eleventh commandment. My God, are you kidding me? They will card you, Ask for the last 4 of you SS number, 2 picture ID's, and last years Tax return! Give me a break. Is this discount so very special to you. Do you feel like I am taking money from you? You are giving us Seniors a bad name. Snap out of it, every dog needs a little bone now and then. Times are tough. The economy stinks. Let me get my discount in peace.
Before buying our home, Gail and I went and looked at homes in an age restricted community. After the usual welcomes were over, we were informed that we "are not old enough" to live in this community and escorted off the property. Being the type of guy I am, I will visit there again. This time with all my ID in hand. Now who's not old enough wise guy.
With all this said, I have just a few words left to say to everyone. Stand tall. Get your discounts with pride. Ask for them with your head held high. We all have worked hard to achive this status in life. Always remember that you are not old when you are classified a Senior. There was a time many years ago when we were full of life, vigor and dreams. Being called a Senior then was great. Remember high school? Fake ID's then and now. Who knew?
You crack me up Big Guy. I do agree. Go Senior!!!! When shopping at my favorite store, all I have to say is "Is this senior day" and just like that I have my discount. Of course, as you have observed, this is best done with a young person at the register. Hey, they still think if you are over 40 you are a senior. Of course, now all I need to do is take Harry with me...my Harry, not yours.

I must say that when these girls played Pike Stars, they did play very well but I have to add that the Stars played down a player for a while due to one being sick and the other injured from a fall. Also, the Stars were missing two or three key players due to prior engagements.

A FINE COPY OF THIS SELECTION OF REDOUT''S FINEST PLATES OF FLOWERS AND FRUITS, AND THE LAST OF THE THREE GREAT WORKS TO BE PUBLISHED UNDER HIS NAME. The Choix was issued in 36 fascicules between May 1827 and June 1833 (the text by Guillemin is dated 1833), in both quarto and folio format, the latter being the so-called grand papier version. The Hunt Redout'ana catalogue notes that the folio issue was restricted to a small number of copies only, traditionally given as five but the actual number was probably somewhat greater. The work is divided into four sections, Fruits, Roses, Bouquets, and Fleurs, with 16, 16, 9, and 103 plates respectively. Unlike later editions, this first edition has no section titles, and the plates were not presented in any particular order, although in the present copy they have been bound alphabetically according to Guillemin's listing. Pierre-Joseph Redout' is the most celebrated and popular of all flower painters and his work is the culmination of a tradition of botanical illustration produced under royal patronage which dated back to the Renaissance. Redout', the most eminent pupil of G'rard van Spaendonck, produced a large number of drawings on vellum, 519 of which are now in the famous collection of V'lins du Roi, housed in the Museum d'histoire naturelle in Paris. His outstanding talent for flower painting earned him the soubriquet "Raphael des Fleurs". The flowers, fruits and bouquets included in the Choix are characteristic of Redout' at his most assured, combining the best of his artistic background and his skill as an observer of nature: "clair' par l'exp'rience, encourag' par les souffrages les plus flatteurs des naturalistes et des peintres de mon pays et des contr'es les plus 'loign'es; c'est en me livrant aux travaux botaniques les plus 'tendus, c'est en 'tudiant sans cesse la nature dans la constance et dans la vari't' des formes et de ses couleurs, que je crois ˆtre parvenu … r'ussir sous le triple rapport d'exactitude, de la composition et du coloris, dont la r'union peut seule porter … perfection l'iconogrpahie v'g'tale" (Redout', writing in the preface to the present work). Redout' was closely linked to the Panckoucke publishing family through one of his most gifted pupils, Anne-Ernestine Panckoucke, who had married C.L.F. Panckoucke. The French botanist D.-M. Guillemin wrote the Table Alphab'tique et Explicative des plantes, and the combination of a rigorous alphabetical listing of species, Panckoucke's printing, and Redout''s extraordinarily fine plates, resulted in a publishing and botanical sensation. Demand was such that there were two further editions during Redout''s lifetime, in 1829 and 1833. Dunthorne 235; Great Flower Books p.129; cf. Hunt Redout'ana 21; Nissen BBI 1591; Pritzel 7456; Stafleu & Cowan 8750.

This one is about this girl who has a rare gift, er some sort of 6th sense that she can sense when a supernova blows up (i don't quite know how accurate that is, maybe it's only the ones within a certain radius from her.) This one was another late night spurt of creativity. I realized later that it wasn't altogether an original idea... but then again, nothing really is.
Actually this reminds me a lot of a story someone else wrote, but i wrote this before i read that story!
A story I started writing and then combined with a poem I wrote. What is this fairy's mission? Is it peaceful or not? I'll leave that with you. Whatever you expect is probably more interesting than what I might think up. It's like the 'mystery box'
A myth that I wrote in grade 8... ah those were the days when we got to write stories in school
This is a story that i started writing thinking it was going to be a really stupid story, and i didn't, at the time when i started writing it, know why i continued. But i did. It was past midnight, everyone else had gone to sleep (and i was thinking i probably should have) but decided to stay up just a little longer, just until i ran out of inspiration... Which turned out for a pleasant surprise, that it was a lot better than i thought. (spontanaeity!) It even inspired me to write a sequel...
The thought for this story came from a Monty Python song as I was reading the Hitch Hiker's guide to the Galaxy. The title is a quote from the Monty Python galaxy song, from the line that goes: 'It's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned, the sun that is the source of all our power.' So I thought of generalizations, ate a cookie, and decided that I agreed with the quote 'All generalizations are false, including this one.' and thought the other stars must provide the earth with a teeny teeny bit of energy, but nobody would think to use it unless there was no other alternative ...
This was quite an eclectic story, with ideas stolen from: Harry Potter (Something like a patronus -- As a matter of fact that one was more like stolen from sailormoon -- Like in the 3rd book when the first time Harry makes a proper patronus is when he absolutely has to.) Also like me on the physics quiz (that was the first time I got that question right!) Sailor Moon (just the place reminded me of Sailor moon's class, and the evil person attacking sailor Mercury when she gets the thingy showing up on her forehead.) Other random ideas, (like dance class the other day.) This story was written before I watched Firefly, but...'I can kill you with my brain'.
Not in a place that perhaps you have seen in your dreams... This one was written in a weird way, I wrote the second part first, about her walking over to the island over the land bar type thing first, then the bit about the lighthouse. Sorry if it is incoherent. Things it was inspired by: A place in Scotland that sort of caught my fancy, it had a land bar thing with a bunch of shells on it, and old stone dwellings on the 'island.' It looked and felt like it was going to rain, if I remember correctly. It was also inspired by the inferi from Lord of the Rings. (Oh, you know JK Rowling has read Lord of the rings...you can see it in her books. Anyway I digress.)

text: From Our 2014 Archives Long-Acting Clotting Agent Approved for Form of HemophiliaLatest Heart NewsMONDAY, March 31, 2014 (HealthDay News) The drug Alprolix has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as the first long-acting hemophilia B clotting agent, the FDA said in a news release. The product, formally known as "coagulation factor IX recombinant Fc Fusion protein" is the first hemophilia B remedy designed to require less frequent injections than prior treatments, the FDA said. It was approved to help control and prevent bleeding episodes and to manage bleeding during surgery. Hemophilia B is a blood-clotting disorder, primarily affecting males, caused by an abnormal Factor IX gene. Affecting some 3,300 people in the United States, it can lead to potentially deadly bleeding episodes. Alprolix was evaluated in clinical studies involving 123 people, ages 12-71, with severe hemophilia B. No safety issues were identified during the trials, the FDA said. The product is manufactured by Biogen Idec, located in Cambridge, Mass. -- Scott Roberts

2 more neat benches. Orange tailgate was pretty touch but after a lot of wet sanding and some satin clear coat it looks great even with its dents. The Chevy bench is an all new thing for me. Sanded through the layers of paint and used reclaimed wood for a unique look.

They'll need to power your gadgets, according to at least one pair of designers.AdvertisementThe "Self-Energy Converting Sunglasses" concept uses a dye solar cell combined with unspecified nanotech to generate electricity while, presumably, still allowing you to see. The electricity passes through the frames to a port in the back of the glasses. Then a cord runs down your neck to your gadget of choice.Hopefully by the time someone creates a working production model, we'll be beyond such desperate attempts to charge our portable technology. Or maybe the glasses will at least hide a halfway decent HUD inside. [Yanko]

Food trucks are fundraisers for some O.C. schools
At schools across Orange County, times are tough for extracurricular activities. At San Clemente High School, a booster group is coming to the rescue of the cash-starved instrumental music program by making the campus parking lot the happening place to dine on Monday nights.
"Food Truck Mondays" is taking hold at 700 Avenida Pico, where from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., gourmet food trucks set up shop. Curbside Bites, the trucks' booking agency, has been sending trucks to the campus each week since Sept. 17. SCHS receives $35 for each truck to benefit the Triton Music and Arts Club.
"We've had six (trucks) each Monday," said MariAnne Ridsdale, a parent who organizes the event. "They've been received well. The trucks are happy. The people who come are happy. Everyone is having a good time."
The food mix may vary from week to week, but Ridsdale said a meal including a drink can be had for $8 to $12 and that the quality is first-rate. She recalls one meal featuring a quesadilla "with a Korean twist."
The trucks have health licenses, and a lot of the vendors are trained chefs who either can't afford to start a restaurant or prefer the food-truck system, Ridsdale said.
Food trucks tend to build a following. "They tweet and put on their Facebook page where they are going to be," Ridsdale said.
A look at curbsidebites.com shows that Canyon High School in Anaheim Hills (Tuesdays) and Foothill High in Santa Ana (Wednesdays) also have food-truck nights. The website lists the truck lineup each week at all venues.
"We've been doing the one at Canyon for about a year and a half now," said Morgan Harper, Curbside Bites' scheduling coordinator. At Canyon, it benefits the band boosters. At Foothill, it benefits the girls lacrosse team.
At the end of October, Trabuco Hills High School in Mission Viejo will begin a food-truck night from 5:30 to 8:30 Wednesdays to benefit the baseball team, Harper said.
Curbside Bites keeps a list of 95 trucks that receive email updates and can request a slot at one of the listed venues. "We try to keep it at like six to 10 at a time," Harper said. "We're happy about it. People really seem to enjoy it."
Gwen Hegenwald, a San Clemente High parent volunteer, said the booster group sets up tables in the parking lot and students put together DJ music to liven up the dinner. There is talk of doing some live entertainment since it is, after all, for the music program and its 260 musicians.
Tony Soto, instrumental music director at San Clemente High, said a fellow band director recommended him to Curbside Bites, and the agency contacted him. "When they said food trucks, I was all about that," Soto said. "The boosters took it from there."
As school funding has dwindled in recent years, money that the Capistrano Unified School District used to contribute to the marching band, color guard, jazz band, wind ensemble and other groups has dried up. Soto said he has eight coaches, plus costs of instruments, uniforms and travel. "The only thing the school pays for is the lights and for me," Soto said.
Parent donations and fundraising fill the void. "We don't turn anybody down because they can't pay for it," Soto said. "We have a breakdown of what it costs to operate ... especially the marching band. We tell everybody these are the expenses and you divide it by this many people. We ask for a donation – a portion – and our boosters fundraise (the rest)."
A shortage of funds to pay for two school buses caused the marching band to miss a road football game this season, Ridsdale said.
"We're OK right now because of the food trucks and because some of our parents are bringing donations on a weekly basis," Soto said.
The boosters will continue to do other fundraisers such as candy sales, a poker night and concerts. "We still are currently in need of new instruments," Soto said. "The ones we have here are really outdated. Just one baritone saxophone costs $6,000.
"Our budget for repairing instruments is actually quite big. There's only so much you can do before it just makes sense to buy a new instrument."
Food trucks aren't just helping financially but are building a sense of community, parents said. Some people mark Mondays on their calendar. Others may just be driving by and notice signs announcing the food trucks. Word of mouth does the rest.
"It's another venue for the community to get together," Soto said. "Everybody eats. Everybody needs dinner. So why not have a fundraiser on a Monday night?"
This coming Monday, San Clemente High School will have seven food trucks: Tailgate Truck, Pulp Fusion, Front Porch Pops, KPaza, Barcelona to Go, Calbi and Crepes Bonaparte.

By request – politics is local…
You asked for it!
Rep. Kenny Hulshof is the Republican candidate…though you'd be hard pressed to find any reference to the political party that shall not be named for fear of negative vote-based repercussions in his television commercials. The Hulshof campaign is a great example of the way Republicans are running in Missouri this year. His ads and literature have his name, his policy positions and so forth…but he and his fellow GOPers are running fast as a motherfucker away from all things Republican, Bushed or Blunted.
The thing is Hulshof has a record and it stinks the stank of a social conservative in moderate clothing. His votes against reproductive justice alone make him an unacceptable candidate…and no clever advertising tag line is going to hide that shit.
On the other side we have Attorney General Jay Nixon.
Nixon may not be the darling of the progressive set…but.
Missouri continues to writhe under the relentless abuse of Republican control and I, for one, shudder at the thought of four more years of anti-knowledge, anti-family, anti-women and anti-common sense government.
Sigh again.
We each have to make our own choice, Anonymous…do your research and make sure you are voting from a place of knowledge and not spin.

"bless his rancid heart"! You made me snort. In a good way.
Sounds like a heavy cloud over your environs is about to dissipate. As you basically noted, the Republican brand just might be at an all-time low in consumer post-purchase dissonance. Or wait, an all-time high. In dissonance. You see. (I can't wait until this election season finally passes--like a rancid kidney stone.) - 9:09 AM

Thanks to Sarah and all of her dirty ads, Jay would pretty much have to get caught on tape killing someone to lose this one. Unfortunately we have to watch all of these damn ads thanks to unlimited contributions...it's only going to get worse with the $$ being pumped in these days.

If I had the following options on my ballot for MO-gov:
1) Ken Hulsof
2) Jay Nixon
3) Stab yourself with a rusty fork.
I would pick #3. But I guess I am stuck with #2. Sigh - 9:43 PM
Gov. Blunt has been an absolute nightmare. While I agree that Nixon is far from ideal-hell, even a dead guy would be better than Hulsof (with intentional salt in wound to Ashcroft)
Please remember medicaid folks and ALOT of state services got butchered by Blunt and his thugs.
Dan - 12:13 PM
I like the bad dude's ads. Snorting bulls and the ever-so-catchy "that's the wrong way Jay." I'll be voting the ABB slate, the loyal Dem slate, the progressive way and stuff. But when I pretend to be a Republican for the simple minded fun of it I just LOVE to shout "that's the wrong way Jay!"

It could be worse. You could be living in "the State of Chicago" where I'm currently stuck after leaving Missouri. The government situation in Missouri right now is civilized in comparison. I'll be coming home as soon as I am able.

He called you so you could console him because someone hurt his widdle feelings by breaking up with him?
When he essentially said yes, please tell me you then did something like blow a whistle in the phone so it would blast his eardrum. Right?
"But you said your vows, and you closed the door On so many men who would have loved you more" -Cath, DCFC
There is an emotional bakery as well as a physical one. Time to close the bakery.
My ex showed up one day to tell me a mythical story:
- He was dating finally. - He was in love with her. - But, he just got a call from her sister that (insert theatrical sob) she had just died.
I was so shocked at not only him showing up at the house, I just nodded and tried to look concerned and get him out of the house safely. The moment I told my husband and kids, their response:
"Oh, my gosh! That poor woman had to fake her death to get him to leave her alone?!"
So pat phrase next time, answer, "There, there. Is she still alive, at least?"
So often it is obvious he thought I was his mother. He acted like a spoiled teenager pissed to do anything with the family during the last 2/3 of our 15 year marriage.
Normally I don't laugh at stories that involve death, but I'm sitting here giggling. Your kids think she faked her death to get rid of him - and your idea of what to say to him after future breakups.
I told him it was quite telling that the only time he'd shed tears over this whole mess was when she dumped his sorry, lying arse.
Tell your XH to keep his sob stories to himself - you're NOT INTERESTED!
The first thing I said to him on d-day #1 wasn't "did you have sex"....it was "were you nice to her?" He was so mean to me, I was jealous that he was nice to someone else.
Then, before I realized R had become false R, he was gaslighting me and lying to the MC and allowing her to essentially gaslight me too and let me think I was crazy and the one with the problem. Just so he could hide MOW again.
Why would he think that I would be a good support person for him having his heart broken by other women?
We co-parent well enough now (after a rocky start) and he will honor most of my requests and wishes and he's good about finances.
But, he's oblivious to what pain he caused me. He's cried to me that he's sorry. He told me in Feb that he still loved me. But, I honestly don't feel that he really gets it. It's like he only gets the "sex" part as a betrayal. Not the emotional abuse he put me through for so many years. I was physically ill from the way he treated me. Stomach spasms, hair loss, daily anxiety attacks. I wouldn't be surprised if I had infidelity PTSD. I still suffer from triggers to this day.
I have had my ExH talking to me about ALL the women he has been with since we split up (lots) and when he talks about walking along holding hands with his now GF, it makes me so sad as he used to walk along in front of me (short man syndrome - I am taller than him) and never hold my hand or put his arm around me.
I also had stomach spasms (IBS?). During our M. The stress of it gave me several symptoms which funnily enough have ceased or diminished since D. I don't think I ever knew how stressed out I was in that situation.
I relate also to them thinking of us as their mother. My Ex has called me about how to do washing, (do you split whites and colours) and all sorts of things like that.
I'm not going to be his safety net any more... and I think you should think along the same lines honey.
Thinking of you.
What a crazy thing.

Commentary: Brazil Doesn't Need A Bailout. It Needs Leadership
byEncouraged by pledges of support for Brazil from President Bill Clinton and the Group of Seven, Sao Paulo's battered stock market soared in mid-September by a near-record 45% in just three days. The rush of dollars out of the country slowed to $350 million on Sept. 15, down from as much as $2.2 billion a day in the previous week. Brokers and analysts chirped cliches about the end of Brazil's crisis, touched off by financial tumult in Russia and Asia in late July.
Whoa, there. The $26 billion line of credits to Latin America that the G-7 countries, the International Monetary Fund, and other international lenders may assemble would be only a reprieve. Brazil, the country at the vortex of Latin America's financial storm, has to take drastic measures--with or without an agreement with the IMF--to curb its runaway deficit spending and its $276 billion domestic debt. Otherwise, capital flight will resume--and upset the rest of Latin America again.
What Brazilian President Fernando Henrique Cardoso and his advisers clearly hope is that the prospect of multilateral aid to Latin America will calm the turbulence and give Brazil a respite. But with an economy twice the size of Russia's, Brazil is too big to be bailed out by the IMF or G-7. Brazil must save itself.
The place to begin is at the top. Cardoso, running for reelection Oct. 4, has to start acting less like an insecure candidate and more like a decisive leader. Although he has a wide lead in polls, he delayed, apparently for fear of alienating voters, in boosting interest rates to damp speculation against Brazil's currency. Eventually, he hiked the rate on Sept. 10 to a draconian 49.75%. Faster action could have slowed the shrinking of reserves to $50 billion from $70 billion in July.
Now, to win back the confidence of the markets, Cardoso needs to push through hefty spending cuts to curb the $60 billion budget deficit, equal to nearly 8% of gross domestic product. Proposals on Sept. 8 to trim $3.4 billion from this year's budget disappointed the markets as too timid. And to show that he's committed to tougher measures, he should announce them himself, rather than releasing the painful news through subordinates.
Cardoso should also have more faith in voters. While the steep interest rates and spending cuts may tip the country into recession, Brazilians trust Cardoso as the leader who ended frightful hyperinflation. "He's the stabilizer," says Ernest W. Brown, Latin America economist for Morgan Stanley Dean Witter in New York. "They're not voting for him because he's the guy who's going to bring growth."
PRICKLY. It's crucial for Cardoso to use the campaign to convince voters of the urgency of slashing bloated public payrolls and revamping the social security and tax systems. These moves have been bogged down in Congress. Now, after a financial near-panic, is the right time to rally popular pressure on Congress to put the economy on a sound footing. Last fall, it seemed that Cardoso would do just that after a capital flight triggered by Asia's mess. But when money began returning, Cardoso let the agenda slip onto the back burner.
Finally, Cardoso should shed Brazil's prickly nationalistic reluctance to agree to any IMF terms in return for loans. Since the 1980s debt crunch, Brazil has acted coolly toward the IMF, at least in public, believing that posture plays well with voters. But IMF credits and visible support would further allay devaluation fears. Cardoso has brought Brazil a long way from inflationary chaos, and he is capable of shaping public opinion. With more decisive leadership, a stronger Brazil can emerge from the crisis.

Found what i was looking for
Just got my e30 318 a few months ago and i was looking around for a shop that will help me build this car to what i would like it to be. I do not need to look any further. Mike and Jay looked after my car for some servicing and gave me their honest opinion and no nonsense. No lip service and a lot of talking but actually people that know their stuff, work hard and do it right!
*wave* see you again! |
Thanks Nicki! Or Nikki. Or Nicky. etc etc. :)
