My question is this are there plenty of apps from the android market that will work on OS 1.6
This may help you....
Developers have reported that it is difficult to maintain applications on multiple versions of Android, owing to compatibility issues between versions 1.5 and 1.6,[106] especially the different resolution ratios in use among various Android phones.[107] Such problems were pointedly brought into focus as they were encountered during the ADC2 contest.[108] Further, the rapid growth in the number of Android-based phone models with differing hardware capabilities also makes it difficult to develop applications that work on all Android-based phones.[109][110][111][112] As of August 2010, 83% of Android phones run the 2.x versions, and 17% still run the 1.5 and 1.6 versions[113]

Hudgens who split from Zac Efron last year reportedly has moved on with her 'Journey 2: The Mysterious Island' co-star.
Vanessa Hudgens is reportedly dating actor Josh Hutcherson following her December split from Zac Efron. The "High School Musical" co-stars ended their three-year romance and Efron subsequently sparked rumors he's dating Aussie beauty Teresa Palmer after they attended a Los Angeles film screening together.
And Hudgens appears to be moving on from the relationship too - she was spotted looking close to her "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island" co-star Hutcherson at a party last week, according to People.com. A source tells the website, "Their arms were wrapped around each other and they were really touchy together. They were very cute."
The stars also attended the Independent Spirit Awards together at the weekend, with the insider adding: "Josh walked Vanessa to the bathroom and then guided her to their seats with a hand on the small of her back."

Downton Abbey Is Over. Now What?
February 27, 2012
I recently watched the 4 part mini-series 'North & South' (NO, NOT THE ONE WITH PATRICK SWAYZE – ALTHOUGH THAT TOO IS AWESOME. The '80's were so rad!!). It was great! This version is set in England and focuses on the cultural divide between the privileged rich in southern England/London and the privileged rich in an industrial cotton mill city further north. The barest nutshell of the plot is that it's a more realistic version of 'Pride & Prejudice', set in a factory town.
And guess who's in it:
It's Mr. Bates! I mean, Brendan Coyle! He's got a great part in 'North & South', playing a head honcho factory worker dude. He's sporting more hair in this show, both on his head and on his chest. I thought it was important that I share that information with you, so I did.
See? It's really him! I was STOKED. I didn't know he was in it before I watched it.
Ok so here is what's awesome about the show. The show plot itself is a bit of a downer, (No Dowager Violet jokies here) but friends, the chemistry between the two leads is CRAZY HOT. Which is my main beef with 'Downton' – the yawn factor between Matthew and Mary.
Matthew & Mary are so NOT HOT.
Let me put it to you this way. The Kiss, which basically marks the end of any English period drama, in 'North & South' made my knees feel wobbly. FOR REAL. The Kiss, at the end of 'Downton' Season 2 made me giggle. And made me feel bored. This is bad. They need to fix this. I would rather watch Mary and Sir Richard fight it out. Why couldn't she have reformed him or something?
There's a book by Elizabeth Gaskell, which was written in 1854. I'm going to be reading it right after I finish up my current book.
So go check out 'North & South'. And come back and tell me 1) How hot is Richard Armitage? and 2) How hot is Mr. Bates in his factory-working man-unbuttoned-halfway-down shirt?? (HOT.)

Have you seen these Downtown Abbey paper dolls? http://www.vulture.com/2012/02/print-out-vultures-downton-abbey-paper-dolls.html They popped up in my PInterest feed the other day. :)
It's funny, when I first started reading this post I thought you were talking about the '80s North and South with Patrick Swayze! :)and here I am waiting on pins and needles for the next episode of 'the walking dead' each week... tho both my sisters and my mother are watching everything you speak of above... I'm sure I'd love them too, we'll have to netflix downtown abby and north & south at some point when we're feeling a lack of enjoyable entertainment (which will happen, it always does)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait until Downton Abbey starts again!! Thanks for the North and South recommendation! On another note, Melissa, I am giving you the Liebster Blog award! Check out my latest post for details. :)
ReplyDeleteThis was my no-Downton-Abbey solution, too! I think Paul's actually looking forward to Downton Abbey more than I am. He refused to watch Masterpiece Theatre for years and then he got hooked on Downton and Lewis and I can get him to watch almost anything filmed in England now. Ha!
ReplyDeleteI totally followed the Netflix suggestion to watch North & South and it was wonderful. Then I watch it again and then tried to find anything featuring Armitage! Love me some British period pieces!

Dublin - Jack Of All Trades |
It was once said to me, and has been voiced by many - that the only difference between the Scots and the Irish is that the Scots stopped fighting. My response to my Irish friends is that we stopped fighting for good reason. After putting OUR king on THEIR throne, WE thought WE had won ! Sadly the Scots have now spent four centuries wondering what happened ?? Perhaps NOW is the time to peacefully right the wrongs of the past. |
In the words of Burns, as he wrote from the heart. Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled, Scots, wham Bruce has aften led, Welcome to your gory bed, Or to victorie. Now's the day, and now's the hour; See the front o' battle lour; See approach proud Edward's power, Chains and slaverie. Wha would be a traitor-knave? Wha can fill a coward's grave? Wha sae base as be a Slave? Let him turn and flie: Wha for Scotland's king and law, Freedom's sword will strongly draw, Free-man stand, or free-man fa', Let him follow me. By Oppression's woes and pains! By your Sons in servile chains! We will drain our dearest veins, But they shall be free! Lay the proud Usurpers low! Tyrants fall in every foe! Liberty's in every blow! Let us Do - or Die!!! Choose your destiny. |
Oh I am a roving sporting blade, they call me Jack of all Trades I always place my chief delight in courting pretty fair maids So when in Dublin I arrived to try for a situation I always heard them say it was the pride of all the Nations Chorus: I'm a roving jack of all trades Of every trade of all trades And if you wish to know my name They call me Jack of all trades On George's Quay I first began and there became a porter Me and my master soon fell out which cut my acquaintance shorter In Sackville Street, a pastry cook; In James' Street, a baker In Cook Street I did coffins make; In Eustace Street, a preacher In Baggot street I drove a cab and there was well requited In Francis Street had lodging beds, to entertain all strangers For Dublin is of high reknown, or I am much mistaken In Kevin Street, I do declare, sold butter, eggs and bacon In Golden Lane I sold old shoes: In Meath Street was a grinder In Barrack Street I lost my wife. I'm glad I ne'er could find her In Mary's Lane, I've dyed old clothes, of which I've often boasted In that noted place Exchequer Street, sold mutton ready roasted In Temple Bar, I dressed old hats; In Thomas Street, a sawyer In Pill Lane, I sold the plate, in Green Street, an honest lawyer In Plunkett Street I sold cast clothes; in Bride's Alley, a broker In Charles Street I had a shop, sold shovel, tongs and poker In College Green a banker was, and in Smithfield, a drover In Britain Street, a waiter and in George's Street, a glover On Ormond Quay I sold old books; in King Street, a nailer In Townsend Street, a carpenter; and in Ringsend, a sailor In Cole's Lane, a jobbing butcher; in Dane Street, a tailor In Moore Street a chandler and on the Coombe, a weaver In Church Street, I sold old ropes- on Redmond's Hill a draper In Mary Street, sold 'bacco pipes- in Bishop street a quaker In Peter Street, I was a quack: In Greek street, a grainer On the Harbour, I did carry sacks; In Werburgh Street, a glazier In Mud Island, was a dairy boy, where I became a scooper In Capel Street, a barber's clerk; In Abbey Street, a cooper In Liffey street had furniture with fleas and bugs I sold it And at the Bank a big placard I often stood to hold it In New Street I sold hay and straw, and in Spitalfields made bacon In Fishamble Street was at the grand old trade of basketmaking In Summerhill a coachmaker; in Denzille Street a gilder In Cork Street was a tanner, in Brunswick Street, a builder In High Street, I sold hosiery; In Patrick Street sold all blades So if you wish to know my name, they call me Jack of all Trades |

backstage pass
It's actually pretty interesting. Some of the looks do employ peplums, but some aren't actually peplums at all. Rather, the bodice of the dress is falling over the waistline, revealing corsets and bralets. For some of these looks, it's all an illusion.
I will say that I am completely smitten with this collection. However, I don't know how I feel about the usage of raw seams on some of these looks. It looks only a little sloppy. The other issue is some of the dresses that have shirred panels and peplums inserted to princess seams in weird areas. But overall, I adore this collection!

Studying abroad is the act of a student pursuing educational opportunities in a country other than one's own.[1] This can include primary, secondary and post-secondary students.
Psychologically this process can be very challenging as the student is far from home, often alone in a foreign country, perhaps unable to speak the native language well.

Great, efficient service, made easier by accepting a direct transfer of funds. Job was completed quickly and every effort was made to ensure that I was happy with the work completed. Thanks
Brilliant staff, really friendly and welcoming. I'd recommend to anybody
Brilliant job on some bad damage to the paint and bodywork. Kellie and Dale are great and provide amazing customer service - they also picked and dropped the car off to suit me. Really good work at a very reasonable price and i will definitely use this company again!
friendly top service. would recommend!
This garage provided by far the cheapest quote both on and off whocanfixmycar.com, they were quick to fit me in to do the work which was needed to pass an MOT, they were friendly and courteous and only charged my £5.00 more than the original quote which was for two bulbs that needed replacing. This was a pleasant surprise as the work took a little longer to do than they expected due to some difficulties that arose, no fault of theirs so I have left a happy customer and will definitely be returning for any future work and future MOT's as they also offer a very good price for this service as well. Happy customer, thank you acer auto centre :)
All good, no problems!
They found other problem but They fixed my car quickly.
A nice and clean job they did, everything clear, fast and accurate!
Amazing price and people. Thanks!
Very good, professional, would use again
perfect customer service i 100% recommend this garage
Highly recommended garage! Guys are proper mechanics, not just average fitters as most. They managed to identify fault that was missed by two other garages. Also - great value for money.
Lads have done a fab job on our car. Decent guys and obviously know what theyre doing. Will definitely use them again. Many thanks for the service we received oh, and no rip off prices here everyone
Great service, brilliant communication. Came and collected car on time and did a great job.
excellent garage, super fast and professional! Would recommend to anyone and would definitely be using again.
jamie did a excellent job on my brakes and pads and also washed my car, excellent job, will be going too jamie from now on
Great service and a great job replacing my clutch. Cheapest price around but that doesn't mean you get a second grade service. They dropped me off home after I dropped off the car and we're curious and professional throughout. I would 100% recommend
The work was carried out quickly and it solved the problem thank you. However the car had oily hand prints on the left hand door pillar, right hand door pillar, the glove box, steering wheel and door handles. A simple wipe would of made this a five star review.
Did an excellent job and really quick verun impressed and will be back!
Very good experience. I got the diagnostic check done for 25GBP. Was quoted 88 GBP for sensor change. I had to get CVA gaiter replacement as well, which was offered at 65 GBP. Both was done for 150GBP. Happy customer at the end of the day. Way better experience than what I had at Halfords Leeds in December 2016. Thanks Sanjiv
Happy with the work done, would use again!
Everything done efficiently and at the best price going. Thanks
Absolutely shocking service, promised car back after a day, car eventually returned 5 days later with half a tank of fuel missing, cigarette ash on the carpets (I have never smoked in the car) muddy footprints in the rear footwells. The old gearbox had been left in boot and had smashed the back of the seats and boot lining. The gear linkage had been zip tied in place, I can only assume the clips had been lost. The car was running very badly due to a boost hose being left loose. And to top it all the price had gone up £25 for some vague reason that couldn't be explained. If I could give 0 stars I would.
Front a rear disc's and pads. Very happy
Very good service and fast. Was dropped off and was asked if I wanted to be picked up very nice and friendly people. Will be going there again for my MOT
Great price, great service, will be using again in the future
Was well worth price was well communicated will use again and strongly recommend them

PB3Treatises - Orthodox Three Treatises on the Divine Images
Is all Christian art fundamentally blasphemous? That was the question posed aggressively by the Christian iconoclasts of the eighth century in a bitter controversy. The resounding answer, "No" from John of Damascus helped to secure the future of art in the service of Christ. Without his brilliant defense, both profound and at times earthly, we might well have had no icons, murals, and mosaics in churches to elevate and enrich our spirits. This fresh and complete translation, by a distinguished patristic scholar, of John's three treatises on the divine images shows us the issues at stake both then and now. Professor Louth places all of us who care about them in his debt.
PB4DF - Orthodox Four Desert Fathers
Pambo, Evagrius, Macarius of Egypt and Macarius of Alexandria, the four fathers presented in this volume, were well-known in Alexandria and Lower Egypt some 1600 years ago. Their lives, brought to fame by Palladius' Lausiac History, provide valuable insight into the Egyptian monastic communities of the fourth century and into the saintly tradition of the Coptic Church. This volume serves as a companion volume to St Macarius the Spiritbearer, also published by SVS Press, which features further insight into Macarius of Egyp
PBAP - Orthodox On the Apostolic Preaching
St Irenaeus, the most important theologian of the second century, lays the foundation for all future Christian thinkers. Here he recounts all the various deeds of God, culminating in the exaltation of His crucified Son, Jesus Christ, and the bestowal of His Holy Spirit and the gift of a new heart of flesh.
PBAsce - Orthodox On Ascetical Life
Isaac of Nineveh was a native of Bet Qatraye near present-day Bahrain on the Persian Gulf. A teacher and monk, he was consecrated bishop (ca. 660-680), but preferred to live out his live as an anchorite. A Scriptural scholar, he studies Scripture so much that he became blind and had to dictate his writings. He died at an advance age and was buried in Rabban Shabur, where he spent most of his monastic life.
PBAT - Orthodox On the Apostolic Tradition
Apostolic Tradition, as this text is best known, was identified in the early years of the twentieth century as the work of Hippolytus, a Christian leader from third-century Rome. The text provides liturgical information of great antiquity, and as such has been massively influential on liturgical study and reform, especially in western churches.
PBCMacar - Orthodox St Macarius the Spiritbearer
Macarius the Great also referred to as Macarius of Egypt or Macarius the Egyptian presided over a loosely knit scattering of ascetic monastic communities in the fourth century Egyptian desert. He enjoyed great respect during his lifetime and his fame was further spread after appearing in Palladius' Lausiac History. This volume presents three ancient texts , The Sayings of Saint Macarius, The Virtues of Saint Macarius and The Life of Saint Macarius of Scetis and provides valuable insight into the world of Coptic spirituality and early Egyptian asceticism. This work is a companian volume to Four Desert Fathers, also published by SVS Press, which features the lives of Macrius the Spiritbearer, Macarius of Alexandria, Pambo and Evagrius.
PBCS - Orthodox On the Christian Sacraments
These six Lectures on the Christian Sacraments were delivered in Jerusalem in the middle of the fourth century. They belong to a period of rapid transition for the Church. Less than forty years before, Christianity had been an illegal religion, the object of intense persecution. Now it was the favored religion of the state. Potential converts thronged the shining new basilicas, built through the beneficence of Constantine and his successors. Catechetical instruction was needed. It was provided by gifted preachers and teachers like St Cyril of Jerusalem.
PBDL - Orthodox On the Divine Liturgy
The eighth-century document Historia Ecclesiastica of Germanus, Patriarch of Constantinople (715-730) was for centuries the quasi-official explanation of the Divine Liturgy for the Byzantine Christian world. Although "allegorical" in content, its interest lies in its historical value, for it appeared at a time of great flux in the life of the Byzantine Church, at the outbreak of the iconoclastic controversies, a period which marked a strong shift in theology and piety.
PBDM - Orthodox On the Dormition of Mary
Since the time of the early Church, Orthodox Christians have honored Mary, the Mother of God, with special solemnity on August 15. From the sixth century on, that celebration has been explicitly associated with her death, as the culmination of a human life uniquely "full of grace," uniquely involved in the Mystery of our salvation and transformation in Christ.
PBFathers - Greek Orthodox Patrology: Intro to Study of the Fathers
The writings of the Fathers never ceased to be read with zeal by devout Christians and with great interest by studious and inquisitive scholars. The Fathers have always been up to date. Never before, however, has the study of their writings been as intensive as it is today. Today, the study of the Fathers includes every aspect of their activity, literary productions and teaching, and there is an effort to produce a detailed analysis and anatomy of their thought.
PBFS - Orthodox The Fathers Speak
Here for the first time is an anthology of texts gathered almost exclusively from the personal correspondence between St Basil the Great, his close friend Gregory the Theologian and his younger brother Gregory of Nyssa.
PBGC - Orthodox On God and Christ
Gregory of Nazianzus, "The Theologian," was recognized among the Cappadocian Fathers as a peculiarly vivid and quotable exponent of the doctrine of God in Trinity. A brilliant orator and accomplished poet, he placed before the Church his interpretation of the sublime mystery of the God revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These five sermons, probably delivered as a series at the small chapel of the Resurrection in Constantinople, where Gregory was the bishop in charge of loyal "Nicenes," contain Gregory's penetrating teaching. The English translation aims to capture for the present-day reader something of the atmosphere of intellectual excitement and spiritual exhilaration experienced by his first listeners. In addition, this work contains a new translation of Gregory's letters to Cledonius, which contain more focused reflections on the person of Jesus Christ, laying the groundwork for later Christology.
PBGM - Orthodox On God and Man
St Gregory is one of the most open and self-revealing of the Fathers of the Church, and his poetry is remarkable for its personal character. In these poems, he speaks of the joys and frustrations of his own life; he reveals his inner questioning about the purpose and values of life in the face of sin and mortality, and his ultimate faith in Christ as redeeming and reconciling all things. St Gregory's poetry has often been compared with St Augustine's Confessions, as showing a peculiarly modern interest in the self. The translations here presented allow the reader to see that self-reflection in its theological context.
PBHI - Orthodox On the Holy Icons
To many modern Christians the question of icon veneration may seem a marginal issue in theology. To St Theodore the Studite, writing in the midst of the iconoclastic controversy of the eighth and ninth centuries, it was clear that iconoclasm is a serious error, which alienates its followers from God as much as any other heresy. That is to say, rejection of Christian veneration of images effectively denies God's incarnation, which alone makes human salvation possible. If Christ could not be portrayed, then He was not truly man, and humanity was not truly united with God in Him.
PBHP - Orthodox Hymns on Paradise
St Ephrem the Syrian's cycle of 15 Hymns on Paradise offers a fine example of Christian poetry, in which the author weaves a profound theological synthesis around a particular Biblical narrative. Centered on Genesis 2 and 3, he expresses his awareness of the sacramental character of the created world, and of the potential of everything in the created world to act as a witness and pointer to the creator.
PBIsaac - Orthodox Spirituality: Wisdom of St. Isaac the Syrian
St Isaac of Nineveh, or St Isaac the Syrian as he is often known, is a figure full of paradox. A hermit of the Assyrian Church of the East who lived in the seventh century, he is in the present century perhaps more influential than at any other time in history.
PBLetters - Orthodox Letters from the Desert
Two monastic elders the "Great Old Man" Barsanuphius, and the "Other Old Man" John flourished in the southern region around Gaza in the early part of the sixth century. Maintaining strict seclusion within their cells, they spoke to others only through letters by way of Abba Seridos, the abbot of the monastic community in Gaza, where these two holy men lived in silence.
PBLP - Orthodox On the Lord's Prayer
These are the only three existing ante-Nicene treatises on the Lord's Prayer. Candidates for baptism in the ancient Church were trained in prayer, a practice that gave rise to a tradition of commentary on the Lord's Prayer. These classic texts became the starting points for many other commentaries.
PBMF - Orthodox On Marriage and Family Life
Christian tradition often seems to give only grudging approval to the married life, particularly its sexual aspect. In these sermons of St John Chrysostom we find an important corrective to this view. Although himself a monk, Chrysostom had a profound understanding of the needs of his congregation. Inspired by the epistles to the Corinthians and Ephesians, he discusses their reasons God instituted marriage primarily to promote holiness of the husband and wife, and only secondarily to produce children.
PBMG - Orthodox On the Mother of God
Jacob of Serug was born at Curtem on the Euphrates, ca. 451. Very little is known of his life. He probably studies at the school of Edessa. He became a monk and priest. Early in life he began writing and is thought to have composed more than 700 homilies.

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
Democrats Hug 2nd Amendment While Rolling Out Gun Plan
Clyburn told the story of the Rev. J. Armstrong DeLaine, an early figure in the push that eventually ended in the integration of public schools. DeLaine lived and worked near Summerton, S.C.
"Because of his Second Amendment rights, the right to bear arms, he had a firearm. And it's the only reason, when the Night Riders came to his home, it is the only reason that he lived to die a natural death," Clyburn said. "I continue to believe that it's important for people to have the right to bear arms. That is not what this issue is about. This issue is about our children being safe in their classrooms and our families being secure in their homes."
Thompson said his task force's recommendations were "fairly close" to the those of the gun violence task force led by Vice President Biden. And it appears the sales job will be very similar as well -- with Democrats trying again and again to reassure gun rights advocates they're not after the public's guns or the right to own one. Polling has shown widespread support for Democratic plans like universal background checks and magazine capacity bans, but leaders of the National Rifle Association have said they don't take Democrats at their word on the Second Amendment.

Media reports Tuesday say Microsoft Corp. may invest around $2 billion as part of a possible buyout of Dell Inc. .
Microsoft is reportedly in talks with Silver Lake and Michael Dell about an investment by the software firm, which is a big customer of Dell. Talk of a Dell buyout has been gearing up in recent weeks at a reported price of $13 or $14 a share.
The move is reminiscent of Microsoft\'s move in 1997 to invest $150 million in then-struggling Apple Inc. . Apple went on to become the largest U.S. corporation, surpassing Exxon Mobil.
No doubt Michael Dell may be hoping for a similar lift from Microsoft. Dell shares rose 2% to $13.12 following the report.

* Obama wishes Mandela well
* President Zuma says country "must not panic"
* Mandela spent nearly three weeks in hospital in December
Nelson Mandela spent a second night in hospital being treated for a lung infection while the South African government sought to reassure the nation about the health of its first black president and hero of the anti-apartheid struggle.
The 94-year-old Nobel Peace Prize laureate received well wishes from global figures including U.S. President Barak Obama after he was admitted to hospital before midnight on Wednesday, his third stint in hospital in four months.
The government said on Thursday he was responding well to treatment but had no new statement on his condition as of Friday morning.
Current President Jacob Zuma urged the nation to remain calm and has asked people across South Africa and the world to pray for him.
"Of course I have been saying to people, you should bear in mind Madiba is no longer that young and if he goes for check-ups every now and again, I don't think people must be alarmed about it," Zuma told the BBC on Thursday.
"I would like to really say the country must not panic."
Madiba is the clan name by which many South Africans refer to Mandela.
Mandela has been mostly absent from the political scene for the past decade but remains an enduring and beloved symbol of the struggle against racism.
He is revered at home and abroad leading the struggle against white minority rule - including spending 27 years in prison on Robben Island - and then promoting the cause of racial reconciliation.
He became South Africa's first black president after winning the country's first all-race election in 1994.
U.S. President Obama sent Mandela his best wishes.
"When you think of a single individual that embodies the kind of leadership qualities that I think we all aspire to, the first name that comes up is Nelson Mandela. And so we wish him all the very best," he said.
Mandela was in hospital briefly earlier this month for a check-up and spent nearly three weeks in hospital in December with a lung infection and after surgery to remove gallstones.
That was his longest stay in hospital since his release from prison in 1990 after serving almost three decades for conspiring to overthrow the apartheid government.
Mandela has a history of lung problems dating back to when he contracted tuberculosis as a political prisoner.
As he has receded from public life, critics say his ruling African National Congress (ANC) has lost the moral compass he bequeathed it when he stepped down as president in 1999.
Under such leaders as Mandela, Walter Sisulu and Oliver Tambo, the ANC gained wide international respect as it battled white rule.
Once the yoke of apartheid was thrown off, it began governing South Africa in a blaze of goodwill from world leaders who viewed it as a beacon for a troubled continent and world.
Almost two decades later however, this image has dimmed as ANC leaders have been accused of indulging in the spoils of office, squandering mineral resources and engaging in power struggles.
Mandela spent much of last year in Qunu, his ancestral village in the poor Eastern Cape province. But since his release from hospital in December he has been at his home in an affluent Johannesburg suburb, closer to sophisticated medical facilities.

It's the beginning of a holiday weekend, YAY! And the beginning of people in your way on the road and aggressive drivers ticking you off. Who will present the biggest problem on the road today? It's those darn red light runners.
We've probably all had the experience of sitting at a red light that turns green, signaling our chance to go, and all of a sudden a car zooms through from the other direction. Near miss! Red light runners cause accidents all the time, and it turns out today is one of their favorite days to do it.
And what are the most dangerous intersections in Lufkin?
There are all sorts of ways to open a bottle of beer if you don't have a proper opener — Lighters, silverware, belt buckles, your teeth, your friend's teeth etc. These days, the cool kids are actually using iPad chargers to gain access to their bottled brews.
What you are looking at is a man (from California, no less) trying to climb a 650 feet frozen waterfall in Norway using nothing more than icepicks.
Did I mention the temperature is -15 degrees. I think I'll just stick to something safer, like riding a 2000 pound bull.

From Our 2012 Archives Food Journal: Write It Down, Shed More PoundsLatest Diet & Weight Management NewsFood Journals Help Dieters Lose Weight, Study Shows By Salynn Boyles Reviewed by Brunilda Nazario, MD July 13, 2012 -- If you want to lose weight, you need to eat less -- and if you want to eat less, it helps to write it down. When researchers studied the eating behaviors of female dieters they found that two of the most important tools linked to successful weight loss were a pen and notebook. Women who kept food journals and consistently wrote down the foods they ate lost more weight than women who didn't. Skipping meals and eating out frequently, especially at lunch, led to less weight loss. Researcher Anne McTiernan, MD, PhD, says based on the study results, the number one piece of advice someone should follow if they want to lose weight is, "Keep a food journal." "It's about accountability, knowing what you're eating and how much, and how that all adds up compared with your calorie goal for losing weight," she tells WebMD. The study appears in the latest issue of the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Journal Keepers Lost More WeightThe study included 123 previously inactive, overweight, postmenopausal women in Seattle enrolled in a weight loss study. Over the course of a year, the women followed a restricted-calorie diet with the goal of achieving a 10% reduction in weight in six months. Half the women were put on an exercise program and the other half were not. All the participants were asked to record the foods they ate daily in seven-day diaries provided weekly by dietician counselors. During the study, the women also completed a series of questionnaires designed to assess their individual eating-related behaviors and strategies to achieve weight loss. At the end of the year, both the diet-alone and diet-and-exercise groups had lost an average of 10% of their starting weight. Meal Skippers Lost LessAmong the specific findings:
"Eating out may be a barrier for making healthful dietary changes because it usually means less individual control over ingredients and cooking methods, as well as larger portion sizes," the researchers wrote. Journal Keepers Avoid Mindless EatingThe study is not the first to find that keeping a food journal helps people shed pounds. A 2008 study found that dieters who kept food diaries at least six days a week lost twice as much weight as those who kept the journals one day a week or less. Keeping a food diary helps increase awareness of mindless, distracted eating, says nutritionist and diabetes educator Megrette Fletcher, RD, who is also co-founder of The Center for Mindful Eating. "We know that when people keep food journals they are more aware of what they eat and in what quantities," she tells WebMD. "Whether the goal is to lose weight, keep diabetes under control, or just to avoid eating when you are not hungry, food journals can help." Most experts recommend writing down the foods you eat as soon as you eat them, rather than waiting until the end of the day. Some other tips:

Leibl, Wilhelm (vĭlˈhĕlm lĪˈbəl) [key], 1844–1900, German genre and portrait painter. He studied in Munich where numerous painters came under his influence; the "Leibl group" shared his predilection for the realistic perfection of the old masters. He left Munich to paint the rural people of Bavaria, owing much in his technique to an understanding of Holbein's works. His most famous picture, Three Women in Church (1878–81; Hamburg), marks the height of meticulous naturalism but is also a subtly composed study.

I am in the process of reading this book and it has a very factual approach to the subject. He has done his homework and I find his reasoning to be solid. Growing up catholic and even when I faced the fact that I was a non believer, I never thought to question if Jesus was actually a real person. Of course he was, after all what about all the stories? I never bought the virgin birth, but I certainly thought he was a real man, an evangelist who traveled that part of the world and the stories about him were blown out of proportion by the time they were written down.
But after reading this book (not quite finished yet) I have serious doubts about his existence at all.
Here is a link to the website about the book and a little peek into the though process:
I was wondering if others had read this and/or what your thoughts were on the actual existence of Jesus?
the evidence for his actual existance is very thin at best! forged entries in historian texts make vague reference to 'jesus' but they are known to be forged years after they were originally written by a man who lived and walked in the time and the place where 'jesus' was to have lived and caused such a stir.
many christians are beginning to see this and are willing to accept an allogorical jesus rather than a literal one... just like the rest of the bible, the 'truth' gets adjusted as 'facts' prove 'truth' inaccurate.
as far as i am concerned, the jesus in the bible is either a complete myth, a compilation of the various jesus' in the region at the time, or a compilation of many of the pagan religions of the area such as Mythra that were all over the region as well. which ever you pick, the 'biblical' jesus is at best a myth, and at worst, the greatest hoax ever sold to humanity....
Purple monkey dishwasher. This pretty much sums up my thoughts on stories written 100 years after the fact.
If I recollect accurately, we debated this issue in my theology courses. Gotta love a modern Jesuit education! I don't know enough about the history in that region around that time (aside from the "official" story) to have a solid opinion but I am skeptical. I don't think the Church is beyond forgery and destroying any conflicting evidence.
Mark 3:21 says 'When his family heard about this, they said, He is out of his mind". < A paranoid schizophrenic..That's what I would think about Jesus IF the gospels were historical records.
But as most of the things mentioned in the bible his story seems to be a mix of some popular pagan gods of the time. If he existed he was batshit insane, if he didn't, he was a product of the (lack of) imagination batshit crazy bronze age individuals.
The phrase "design by committee" comes to mind.
I think that Jesus is like King Aurthur. There was a person that actually existed who inspired the myth we all know today.
I was shocked a few years back too when I discovered some similar stuff at http://www.jesusneverexisted.com/surfeit.htm

Leonid Meteor Shower Peaks on the 17th
Posted by Bruce Betts
Topics: meteors, events and announcements, Earth
The Leonid meteor shower peaks on Tuesday, November 17. The Leonids are a highly variable shower, and as such are a bit of a gamble on what you'll see. Could be great, could be so-so. But, there are predictions of a few hour peak with perhaps 300 meteors per hour centered at about 1:45 p.m. Pacific time, which will be great for those in darkness at that time, particularly in pre-dawn hours occurring in Asia. For those elsewhere, the best time to view will probably be your local pre-dawn hours on the 17th. In any case, the good news is there should be no moonlight to interfere with the meteor shower.
The Leonids are caused by debris from comet Tempel-Tuttle. Each year, when Earth passes through the orbital debris trail left behind by the comet, we get an increased number dust and sand-sized particles hitting the upper atmosphere at very high speeds. As they vaporize, we get nice streaks of light crossing the sky -- meteors. But, each year, we pass through slightly different parts of past orbital debris left around by the comet. If we pass through a very "clumpy" part, we get lots of meteors.
They are named the Leonids because their trails will all point back to the so-called radiant in the constellation Leo. The meteors can appear all around the sky, but if you trace an imaginary line back along their trail, a true Leonid will intersect Leo.
The Leonids are particularly unusual with huge peaks every 33 years or so, but the last occurred only a few years ago. So, usually they now give about 20 meteors per hour, rating them a bit mediocre. This year, though, some astronomers are predicting hitting a bit clumpier region elevating it to a most excellent 300 meteors per hour right at the peak, and perhaps 50-100 per hour a few hours before and after. So, the question you have to ask yourself this year is, do you feel lucky? If you do, relax, stay warm, and stare at the sky under the darkest sky you can find.

Yekaterinburg, Peru (PressExposure) March 14, 2012 -- Chemtable Software has announced new versions of its utilities Reg Organizer 5.40 and Full Uninstall 2.0.
The Reg Organizer tool is intended for comprehensive service of the system registry in the Microsoft Windows operating systems. The tool allows editing the system registry, searching and replacing data in it, seeking and fixing various errors, defragmenting system registry files, completely uninstalling applications along with all traces they may have left in the system, and much more.
Full Uninstall is a standalone application uninstaller tool separate from Reg Organizer. Full Uninstall's functions and capabilities exactly repeat those of Reg Organizer.
Previous versions of Reg Organizer allowed users to uninstall a program only if it was installed with the monitoring feature turned on (i.e. when Reg Organizer tracks the installation process and saves all changes it made to the system during it). Otherwise, the application was uninstalled using the default method and thus might leave traces on your disks and in the system registry. Frequent installing and uninstalling of applications using the default method (without Reg Organizer) leads the operating system to overflow quickly with enormous amounts of unnecessary information.
The new version of Reg Organizer 5.40 introduces the ability to seek and eliminate traces of those programs that were installed without tracking by Reg Organizer. After a given program was uninstalled, Reg Organizer suggests carrying out a search for any traces (remainders) left in the system and deleting them.
The key feature of the updated uninstaller tool in Reg Organizer and Full Uninstall is ease of use. Indeed, you don't need any special knowledge to remove any application and its traces from the system. You simply run Reg Organizer, select the application uninstalling tool, find the desired program, and click the "Remove application" button. The process is exactly the same as any other. After the standard uninstalling is complete, Reg Organizer automatically scans the system and asks whether you want to remove traces it found.
Older versions of Reg Organizer have a certain drawback - they couldn't remove an application completely, if its installation wasn't monitored by Reg Organizer. The new version 5.40 finally offers this opportunity.
The efficiency of this method isn't as high compared to tracked installations, but in most cases you can still remove a significant number of traces from the system. It naturally complements the installation monitoring function and thus increases the efficiency of the complete uninstalling function of the program», - says Konstantin Polyakov, the director of the company.
The price for one copy of Reg Organizer is $39.95 and of Full Uninstall is $29.95. Licenses are lifetime. The license fee includes technical support and free updates to new versions of the programs within a year after the purchase.

Ready to start your pre-planning?
More and more people are realizing the thoughtfulness and practicality of planning their funerals in advance. At Chapel of Hope and Funeral Home we have two pre-planning options available to make a difficult time easier for your family:
Arranging a Funeral in Advance
A death occurs, and without warning a family member or friend is left to make all the difficult decisions of arranging a funeral. Most people have little idea of what is involved, what the costs are, and, most importantly, what final arrangements the deceased would have wanted.
When a loved one dies, the anxieties and stress of making funeral plans can be an overwhelming emotional responsibility. In addition, the costs involved can leave a real financial burden on your surviving family members, especially when they are least prepared to deal with additional worries about money. That's why more and more people are thoughtfully planning funeral arrangements in advance.
Pre-planning allows you to protect your family members or friends from the stress of difficult funeral decisions at a time of emotional upheaval. It also eliminates any guesswork about what kind of choices you might have preferred.
Advance funeral planning is a decision only you can make. Our pre-arranged funeral program allows you to plan ahead by making wise personal choices, in writing, knowing that your wishes will be carried out.
