"You guys are the best nursery I've ever done business with! And I have dealt with a few. You did what you said you would, on time with attention to detail rarely found. From the beginning of the quote process all the way through to the last detail you made it easy. And you work to ensure that the trees will thrive after planting with detailed advice, a complementary irrigation system, and a website filled with useful information. Most nurseries will just dump off the goods and tell you best of luck, put some water on them. You provide a quality product that sets you apart. Your crew was friendly, polite and operated as a well organized team. I would recommend you without hesitation! Thanks for doing a great job!" Ryan, Buckley
"We can not believe how beautiful your trees are. The privacy is unbelievable. If you ever need a testimonial let us know. Our yard is perfect! We sit there and say "my oh my"! Suzanne, Tacoma

Vice President George Bush announce Christa McAuliffe as the winner of the Teacher in Space project.
Teacher in Space
July 19, 1985
We're here today to announce the first private citizen passenger in the history of space flight. The President said last August that this passenger would be one of America's finest -- a teacher. Well, since then, as we've heard, NASA, with the help of the heads of our State school systems, has searched the Nation for a teacher with "the right stuff." Really, there are thousands of teachers with the right stuff. And they're committed to quality in education -- to teaching their students the basics -- reading, writing, mathematics, science, literature, history -- to teaching the foundations of our cultural heritage -- to teaching the values that guide us as Americans' and to teaching that important, but difficult to obtain, quality -- clarity of thought.
We're honoring all those teachers of merit today, and we're doing something else because the finalists here with me and the more than a hundred semifinalists will all in the months ahead serve, as Jim has said, as a link between NASA and the Nation's school system. These teachers have all received special NASA training to pass on to other teachers and to their students. And together they and NASA will be a part of an exciting partnership for quality in education.
So, let me tell you now who our teacher in space will be. And let me say I thought I was a world traveler, but this tops anything I've tried. And first, the backup teacher, who will make the flight if the winner can't -- Barbara Morgan of the McCall-Donnelly Elementary School in McCall, Idaho. Barbara has been a teacher for 11 years. She first taught on the Flathead Indian Reservation in Montana. She currently teaches second grade. Congratulations. And we have a little thing for you.
And the winner, the teacher who will be going into space -- Christa McAuliffe. Christa teaches in Concord High School, New Hampshire. She teaches high school social studies. She's been teaching for 12 years. She plans to keep a journal of her experiences in space. She said that -- and here's the quote -- "just as the pioneer travelers of the Conestoga wagon days kept personal journals, I as a space traveler would do the same." Well, I'm personally looking forward to reading that journal some day.
And by the way, Christa, while you're in the program, Concord High obviously will need substitute teachers to fill in. And it's only right that we provide one of the substitutes. So, the first class you miss, your substitute will be my dear friend and the President's, Bill Bennett, the Secretary of Education.
So, congratulations to all of you. Good luck, Christa, and God bless all of you. Thank you very much for coming. And you, too, get one of these.
Ms McAuliffe: It's not often that a teacher is at a loss for words. I know my students wouldn't think so. I've made nine wonderful friends over the last two weeks. And when that shuttle goes, there might be one body, but there's going to be 10 souls that I'm taking with me.
Thank you.

EUR/USD: possible breakdown
There has been a break down out of the price pattern at the highs and whilst the pair has recovered, it is probable a trend reversal down may be happening. The monthly pivot at 1.3115 underpins support and would have to be decisively breached to give a stronger bearish signal, with a target first at 1.3080, and then 1.3015. Alternatively it would require a break back above 1.3195 to re-establish a bull trend with the range highs at 1.3300 then targeted.

FRISCO, Texas (AP) -- FC Dallas has re-signed midfielder Victor Ullao and reached an agreement with forward Eric Hassli to terminate his contract.
Ullao grew up in the Dallas area and joined the club through the homegrown program in 2010. The 22-year-old made his MLS debut with one game in 2011 but hasn't played since then. He's spent the past three seasons with the FC Dallas Reserves club.
Hassli came to FC Dallas in a trade with Toronto FC last year. The former MLS All-Star made 15 appearances for FC Dallas last season before a back injury sidelined the Frenchman. The back injury resurfaced in the preseason this year.
The moves Friday came a day before the FC Dallas season opener at home against Montreal.

Vendee Globe - 1230 - 5/2/01
Monday February 5th 2001, Author: Mark Chisnell, Location: United Kingdom
Looking at the forecast for the next 24 hours (right), it certainly seems they are going to have to sail their way clear of this high pressure, it isn't going to move and release them.
The ridge will retract towards the west, and also shift north. But the movement of high pressure is notoriously difficult to predict and as we've said, this final battle is much more likely to be fought on a micro level with clouds and gusts counting more than the big picture strategy.
By the middle of the week (right) the Azores High will have established itself into a much more normal configuration, centred over the leader's current position. And to the north of that the westerly winds keep churning, with a succession of low pressure systems set to traverse the North Atlantic in the next week.
This is almost certainly the last time the leaders will have to cross high pressure and light air. Those depressions should fire them all the way into the Bay of Biscay and through the finish line. Once they pick up that new breeze and start moving it will be more about who can push their boat hardest without crashing in the final miles.
But the 64 million dollar question is who will be first to reach that new wind? Keep everything crossed ... by tomorrow morning we may have the answer.
Further back, Thomas Coville and Dominique Wavre have both been hammered by the Doldrums and now find themselves well over a thousand miles behind the leaders, Catherine Chabaud is closing fast on this pair and after so long on her own, may soon have someone to race against.
Mike Golding is probably wishing he didn't have someone to race - after cruising up to fellow Brit and friend Josh Hall, fate seems to be dictating that Golding cannot go past. After once again moving up to eighth over the weekend, Team Group 4 then lost everything and more during Golding's near dismasting.
With a jury-rigged starboard shroud and over a thousand miles of trade wind sailing to do with it fully loaded upwind in waves, Mike Golding will have plenty on just to finish now. But what a remarkable effort that would be after all his troubles.

When the phrase tough economic times is copied and pasted throughout more or less every article in the press we need a scape goat, we collectively need to place blame to make ourselves feel better and to further understand a situation that we will probably never be able to grasp.
While the nations media is involved in special relationships with the nations government there is no space for blame to be placed there. But we need someone. Someone who seemingly has it a bit easy, someone who can (seemingly) coast through these tough economic times unscathed and with a fridge full of M&Ss finest and a flat screen TV mounted proudly above the fireplace as the rest of the country struggle to make ends meet.
To a degree this means people like me, that certain section of society who sit in our council houses watching daytime TV and enjoying all life has to offer and enjoying it for free while the rest of you are at work so we can afford our lifestyles. Because that really is exactly how it is huh?
Every week there is another story about another family being handed a comfortable home and a comfortable lifestyle courtesy of the taxman taking from the wallet of the honest worker and pouring the contents into the bank accounts of the unemployed.
As a nation do we really believe all that we read, without need to question or think or consider before we light the flaming torches and grab the pitchforks and gather en masse to hate?
There is a family, you will have read about them, who so almost every newspaper would have you believe are practically having a bespoke mansion given to them for free while they buy horses and parrots and exciting things that they have time to enjoy because they don't work.
Do you really believe that?
Now I know that there are people out there who do fraudulently claim benefits or fiddle the system and do you know what, they are bloody clever. Clever because asking for help when you have nothing and are entitled to something is like getting blood from a stone as you are lied to and intruded upon and fobbed off while you stare into your empty cupboards and wonder what the hell to do.
The majority of people living on benefits genuinely need that money to survive just as the majority of those housed by their local council would be homeless without that roof.
Council houses do not come for free, they come with rent and water rates and utility bills and council tax and all of the normal things that any house comes with. Benefits help pay for those things, help being the operative word.
Our council house is no more ours than your privately rented house. We do not own it and nor will we see any profit from it when we move out. Every single thing that needed doing, from treating the damp spores to making safe the asbestos we had to do and we had to pay for.
At the end of last month, after over six months of relying on family for the food in our fridge, our benefit claim was finally processed. After all the bills have been paid and the food bought we have absolutely zero money in the bank because, and rightly so, the benefit system works so that it pays the absolute bare minimum for survival and not a penny more.
While reporters sift through the rumours of acquaintances and the bins of the accused to break the news that this large family in receipt of all their free money and waiting for their mansion that has been built to spec to be ready to move in to are buying horses and parrots and hiring merry go rounds and doing exciting things while the hardworking people are sat behind their desks earning the country the moment to pay for them in not only intrusive but also smacks of bullshit.
Far too much information is omitted from stories like this and I really do wonder why the majority of those reading don't stop to question or to wonder or to think.
I never aspired to live in a home that I hadn't chosen myself or to survive on pennies at the end of each week, do you honestly think that anyone would?
I'm not defending every single person living in a similar situation to myself, nor am I saying that it's fair or right, but I am questioning just how much the media are omitting in order to publish a story that will only cause one reaction.

Comcast On Demand today premieres a pair of big movies that couldn't be more different. There's Rob Marshall's challenging musical Nine, for which Penelope Cruz was nominated for an Oscar, and there's also a light romantic comedy from Amy Adams entitled Leap Year. Take a closer look at these films below and decide which one you want to dial up and check out.
Chicago director Rob Marshall's musical extravaganza stars Daniel Day-Lewis as a struggling filmmaker trying to juggle the many women in his life, including Marion Cotillard, Academy Award nominee Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson and Sophia Loren.
Leap Year
Amy Adams is a busy, anal-retentive rich woman who tires of waiting for her boyfriend (Adam Scott) to propose, so she decides to surprise him in Ireland with a proposal based on an old Irish tradition of women popping the question on February 29. However, everything goes wrong and she winds up having to travel across Ireland with the help of a poor local (Matthew Goode), and despite hating each other at first blush, the last blush will turn out to be something different entirely.

The latest case involves a baby who was born prematurely with
underdeveloped lungs and a bacterial infection and who lived less
than nine hours.
Prosecutors say Dale and Shannon Hickman didn't take their son
to the hospital even though he could barely breathe. Instead, they
anointed him with olive oil, a common practice among members of the
Followers of Christ church. The Hickmans are charged with
Their lawyers told the jury that prosecutors are persecuting the
Hickmans for their faith.
In previous trials, five of six church members were convicted.

In Phillip Roth's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel American Pastoral he remarks of history, "People think of history in the long term, but history, in fact, is a very sudden thing."
It's a notion that is quite apropos to the "creation" of history, as newscasters often tell their listeners with bated breath that "we're witnessing history," or "we're a part of history," here doing this thing or another, breaking this record, passing this legislation. But what is written down immediately about a subject and what goes into the historical record years later, what is enshrined in our high school history books, a pseudo base history standard in our country, can be drastically different, as both depictions are subject to the inescapable subjectivity of authorship, philosophical, political and scientific change.
For example, when Dr. Walter Freeman (featured in American Experience's The Lobotomist) first "made history" in 1936 by presiding over the first full-frontal lobotomy with surgeon James Watts, the Chicago Tribune hailed Freeman in an article entitled "Cure Wildness by Operation on Imagination" and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette remarked that "the Doctor has taken a bedridden hypochondriac and made her into a good housekeeper. He has dried away tears, eased the sense of frustration, eliminated worry over trifles and the fear of imaginary ills. Operating upon a biting and scratching monkey, he made him an affectionate pet."
Today however, in history textbooks, popular culture, science and just about any recorded testament of its effects, lobotomy is considered one of the most barbaric examples of science gone wrong, an unfortunate side step akin to phrenology in our understanding of the human psyche and the functions of the brain.
As such, in this running blog feature, I'll be looking at historical subjects as they were recorded in contemporary news accounts and compare them to our own received popular history: the ever present circa 2002 AP History textbook I keep in my house as a reminder of my fun times in AP US History, along with other 'mainstream history' sources and retrospective news features. So keep an eye out for my latest piece on our evolving history!

Lumpectomy Risks
Like all surgeries, lumpectomy carries certain risks:
- Loss of sensation: There is usually some numbness and loss of sensation in part of the breast after lumpectomy, depending on the size of the lump removed. Some or most of this ability to feel can return.
- Breasts that don't match exactly: Your breasts may not match precisely in size and shape after surgery. This is because removing breast tissue during surgery usually makes the affected breast appear smaller. You may not know this right away, because swelling in response to surgery may make your breast appear temporarily larger. Learn about breast reconstruction techniques that can be done after lumpectomy to improve your results.

WARNING: Sarcasm ahead.
Scandalous statistics reveal that nearly every household (99.9 percent according to the Heritage Foundation) classified as "poor" by the U.S. Census Bureau OWNS A REFRIGERATOR!
Did you know 98 percent of poor households in the U.S. (those with an income of about $22,000 for a family of four) own a STOVE or OVEN? Or that 84 percent of poor households have AIR CONDITIONING?
Shocking! Outrageous! A true miscarriage of justice if we ever saw one!!
At least that's what some of our colleagues in the media appear to believe, as Jon Stewart documents in the following "Daily Show" report:
So, let us get this straight: Owning amenities such as kitchen appliances -- luxuries, or so their argument goes -- means the folks the Census Bureau calls 'poor' aren't really poor at all?
If a poor family owns a coffee maker (as 60.5 percent do, apparently) or a dishwasher or a washing machine or a cell phone or, say, inside plumbing, they should quit mooching off the government and start paying income tax like true American patriots, right?
According to these poverty pundits, we're supposed to tell the 39.8 percent of impoverished U.S. households that have no internet connection at home (and could, we guess, go to the public library to read this post if they really wanted to), "Your life isn't so bad. Quit whining, sell your percolator on eBay and dig a little deeper for Uncle Sam, 'mkay?
Sorry, but that just won't fly.
The "television as luxury" statistics don't tell us anything truly helpful about poor Americans.
Sure, they tell us what many poor folks have, but they don't account for what many more don't have.
"Luxuries" like a college fund or a retirement plan.
Gross displays of wealth, such as job security, health insurance or a savings account.
In today's world, it's pretty tough to find a decent job without a college education.
But it's even harder to feed your family if you don't have a refrigerator. Or a stove.
Those of us inclined to rebuke our poorer brothers and sisters for splashing out on the few 'luxuries' they can afford, should redirect our misdirected energies towards creating an economy (and society) that values the least of those among us.
The poor need our help and hope much more than our self-righteous and petty criticism.
Jack Palmer is communications assistant and Cathleen Falsani is web editor and director of new media at Sojourners.
A new report from The Heritage Foundation has highlighted some worrying statistics. Did you know that 99.6% of poor US households own a refrigerator and almost 80% have air conditioning? I'm shocked.
And so too, it appears are many in the media. While many Christians are concerned at the rise in poverty across the country, some in the media are just renewing their attacks on the poor (at the same time as U.S. poverty rates hit an 18-year high).
Owning appliances, the argument goes, means that those who are defined as 'poor' aren't poor at all. 97.7% of poor households own a television
Have Something to Say?
"Jon Stewart on 'the Poors': Fridges & Microwaves & TVs, Oh My!"

Protein Pancakes
Unlike most protein pancake recipes, this one does not contain protein powder. All the protein comes from cottage cheese and egg whites.
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup egg whites (or 4 egg whites)
- 1 tbsp ground flax
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- cinnamon
- sweetener of choice (optional)
Blend all ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth. Pour into heated and greased frying pan, cooking until browned on each side.
You can also get creative and add blueberries…
Chocolate chips…
Or you can dip them in a nut butter syrup…
A mix of 1/4 cup table or maple syrup (I use E.D. Smith sugar-free) and 1/2 tbsp nut butter.
Why stop there? Pancake batter can also be used for waffles!
i'm eating these right now and theyre amazing! thanks for the super easy recipe :)
These are amazing!! They were quick to make and to add to it I have been looking all over for a protein pancake recipe that works for me! YUM!! Thanks for putting this up!!!
this recipe looks great! i'm super excited to try! a questions for SUSAN!
1. how many servings does it make for pancakes and/or waffles
2. do you know calorie count/protein in grams per serving?
3. is it a big deal if i omit the flax seed?
can you tell me what kind of cottage cheese you use?

That belly band dealie we got for the Gunnar-man really does look like it should do the trick, but it just seems a little too tight to leave on him for an extended period. If I can't find another nearby store to look for a larger one I'll find a way to get one online, as I am very eager to stop cleaning up urine puddles.

Righto, I've searched this for like 3 days and I either suck at search or you (yes, YOU) NEEED this. I reckon we need to list ALL the cross-platform multiplayer games out there. That is games that can be played Android vs. iPhone vs. Nokia vs. Facebook ect. The premise here is all my friends have iPhones and Facebook (noone owns a nokia anymore but we'll include it for diversity's sake) and lonely old me sold off my slowPhone/iCrash and now have a Desire - BUT i still want to play multiplayer and i might even get a few to join the revolution when i showcase my superior controls/speed/installynessability etc. I'll start: Parallel Kingdom: Age of Emergence Genre - Augmented Reality MMORPG Tech - Uses GPS with Google maps, multiplayer over the net. Realtime. Basic Idea - Run about and claim territory, wage war over territory, upgrade weapons, hunt for resources, craft stuff, build stuff, sell stuff. Perks - Constant in game chat - ppl are sooooo friendly very helpful to n00bs (me) Platforms - iPhone, Android
I think there is a lack of Cross platform games. I too was looking for something I could play with my son on his Touch but I came up empty. Even the game you state looks like it will not work for the lack of GPD on the Touch. Bill
Bill, it will work without the GPS, just some fuctionality is lost (i turn location services off to save battery). You will find it easiest if your son sets up his account on a GPS enabled device (to get the rough location right) and then once set up and he has built a house, switch to the GPSless device and continue playing from there.
Some of the Storm8 games are cross platform socially aware - that is multiplayer, but turn based and not realtime. That includes (at present): World War, Racing Live, and iMobsters There are more on iPhone, which Storm8 look like they may be porting. They all follow this same sort of format; Genre - Credit/Turn based Strategy Tech - Multiplayer over the net. Social. Basic Idea - Perform tasks, gain money, XP, items, buy items, improve stats, upgrade stuff, be the best. Perks - Fits around your lifestyle, Casual Platforms - iPhone, Android
Words With Friends - Scrabble-like game that ALL my iPhone/Touch owners play and I feel so left out. Everyone - Google it, email the developers and pester them. I have.
I just noticed that Cestos said that they will soon be releasing an iPhone version of their game, allowing cross-platform multiplayer.
Quakes here [Video+APK] Quake 2 and 3 - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum (soooooooo sorry if im not meant to do that...) (quakes there ^^)
Just wanted to bump this thread and mention that Parallel Kingdom just added a ton of new content... New Monsters New Skills New Pets New Weapons And a new Dungeon (Dragon's Lair!) The game is still growing fast and still free to download. Almost 200,000 players!
Gotta say that's one game I won't even bother with due to how much spam it's generated in the Market comments. Nearly every app I look at has one of these people spamming it up saying "use my code and you'll get all this cool crap". Invite code crap just supports this behavior and no good comes of it as far as I'm concerned. I just report them and add whatever game or website they're spamming about to my blacklist.
@snapcase - I agree that the referral code spam gets pretty annoying. I wish there was a better way to deal with it (like the Market giving the ability to delete comments, although this could easily bring up censorship issues). In reality, the referral system as a whole provides a great incentive for players to get their friends to play, and we get quite a few new players as a result. Unfortunately the spam is a problem as well as people posting exaggerated rewards for the referral codes is another problem. Have you heard of any other games that have successful referral systems without producing all the spam? If so, could you give some details about what makes them different/better?
I can't believe no one mentioned homerun battle 3d yet. Or am I mistaken in thinking this is a realtime multiplatform multiplayer game? with awesome graphics to boot!
Does anybody know of any other Cross Platform games out there? The only one I know of is Wordwise but would love to try out some more with my iPhone friends
The dog fight game, Skies of Glory is crossplatfrom multiplayer. And also i think NOVA's online multiplayer is crossplatform.
I got the problem with some kinda Gps thing when i finished registered and am logging in it says can't find me on the gps. Any help?
Bump. Would really like a scrabble like game. Anyone know of anything else lately that's cross platform?
StarPagga is cross platform multiplayer iOS and Android, it's up to 8 players space dogfighting over local network and Internet. I can give away a few free copies for review if anyone is interested.
I actually have started a blog for cross platform shit, mostly games. My best friend has an Android phone and I have an iPhone. Platform Crossroads - Where platforms meet... When an application or game works across multiple platforms and what that means for those who use it. This isn't intended as spam, just a link you all might find useful. I'm testing Parallel Kingdoms right now.

Another 5 arrived yesterday!
Which means i am just awaiting.......
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Another 5 arrived yesterday!
Which means i am just awaiting.......
I use to find excuses to buy shoes, now I find excuses to buy fabric.
I fought and fought with that block tonight ... brain wasn't working right. Sewed all 8 QST's the same way and I should have flipped the color on half of them. Rip 4 - resew. Sewed all 8 QST units to the square on opposite sides of the square and they should have been on adjacent sides of the square. Rip 4 - resew. Sewed the large square to the QST/square units and lost my points on 3 of them. Rip 3 - resew. UGH!! In the end it worked, it's SQUARE and my points MATCH and it's 12.5" so I'm calling it DONE!
I never want to see that block again.
the worst part ... it really wasn't a "hard" block!!! Embarrassing.
Anyway ... will be mailing the following blocks Friday (I'm too pooped to wrap and address them tonight and I would probably screw it up anyway).
CharlotteMarie (2 blocks - Frog Soup and the one that gave me grief tonight)
Moonwork (I'll mail the "practice" block that I made first. Even though there are no bugs, the colors are similar so you might be able to use it).
I've posted all but the block I finished tonight in my album if you want to peek. Hmm ... can't remember if Frog Soup is posted yet.
May your stitches always be straight, your seams always lie flat, and your grain never be biased against you.
Sue - its the frogs - they get into everything and a very slippery critters.
Quilting as I go traveling down the road
Count your blessings, not your problems.
immemother you haven't gotten my fabric F8 yet???mailed out on 8/20 or do you mean you haven't gotten your finished block from me? I mailed that also on 9/3 so you should get it???? Nothing in the mail today and I didn't put anything in the mail either. Trying to keep up with the tomatoes and squash, etc., paying the bills, and I have to finish the binding on the baby quilt tonight without fail. I know I'm not behind but I do hate the envelopes sitting there and looking at me. I will get them out soon. I swear they are all going to be out of here before halloween.
Blocks sent boom water http://www.quiltingboard.com/members...44-albums.html
Blocks received http://www.quiltingboard.com/members...44-albums.html
Batik blocks swap http://www.quiltingboard.com/members...44-albums.html
You know ... your half right. I wasn't using the frog fabric for this block - she had sent me purple hearts and just a swatch of the frog (which became the Frog Soup block). BUT for the block with the purple hearts ... I paired it with LIZARDS!!
So it's the Lizard's fault.
May your stitches always be straight, your seams always lie flat, and your grain never be biased against you.
Those darned lizards can be oh so bossy. A fw lizards are a cute idea actually with such a cute quilt they wont instantly pop out and then it is a game of one of these things is not like the other.. one of these things just doesnt belong can you guess which thing is not like the other . before I finish my song> arent you guys glad I sang that to you? here are some pics I thought I posted of receivable which I love very much thank you. I feel like I am missing one to post and will have to go check the stack later to see.. argh. Here they are the lovelies from Charlotte and from nygal.
Here today... why what a lucky bunch we are.
BuddysMom, Your spookey block will be haunting your mail box soon. Thanks for such a fun fabric to work with. Thanks for swapping with me. Phannie
All the blocks look great!! My mail box is still empty and lonely. Maybe today one will arrive!
When it seems like the world is falling to pieces remember that the pieces are falling into place. We are nearing closer to the End Times.
Okay gals - I tried to mail out all my blocks yesterday before work. but the darn machine took my money but didn't give me any postage.......will have to wait until Friday when my day off is to get to the PO. GRRR - I have a stack of blocks sitting on my car seat staring at me......
Quilting as I go traveling down the road

Steel Magnolia became popular when they won season two of CMT's Can You Duet. But that was only the beginning. The duet, consisting of Meghan Linsey and Joshua Scott Jones became even more popular after releasing their single "Keep On Lovin' You," featured on the movie Valentine's Day's soundtrack. The single is a top 15 hit. It's the highest charting debut single for a country duo since 2007. Their first CD with the country label Big Machine Records is due early summer 2010.
The nominations were announced March 2nd on the CBS early show. "We thought our manager meant the Top NEW Vocal Duo Award," Jones said, "Then she started naming off all the superstar nominees like Brooks & Dunn and Sugarland and then we realized we had been nominated for THE Top Vocal Duo Award as well! We couldn't believe it."
"We are so grateful to the Country music industry and all of our fans for embracing us and our sound," said Linsey. "From the bottom of hearts we thank you and we love you. Our dreams wouldn't be coming true without each of you."
In addition, Steel Magnolia has released an EP, available on iTunes. There are five songs, including "Keep On Lovin' You." There is also a music video of "Keep On Lovin' You." Meghan says that the song "has that soulful thing and that comes pretty naturally to us. I think we're bringing something different to the table."
You can vote for Steel Magnolia to win Top New Vocal Duo until March 12. They are up against Bomshel and Joey and Rory. The 45th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards will be broadcast from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on April 18th at 8 pm ET/ 7 pm CT live on CBS.

Almost one year after a fire destroyed the Zeltser family's Rego Park home, their lives are finally returning to normal.
Diana Zeltser, 46, her husband and their two children have moved back into their apartment on the 17th floor of a Rego Park building after the March blaze forced them to live with relatives for more than nine months.
"We were extremely impatient and eager to move back in, and now that we have we are euphoric," Diana Zeltser said in a letter to friends and family. "At the same time, however, it is so strange and so frightening to be back. It is chilling to stand in the same room where the fire occurred. Every sound made, every item in the apartment reminds us of that awful, fateful night."
Though the apartment, once blackened and filled with charred possessions, is beginning to look more like a home thanks to donations of furniture, Allen Zeltser, 11, said the memories of the fire have made him scared to be in his room. The FDNY said the blaze fought by more than 40 firefighters began in an extension cord to an aquarium in Allen's room. No one was hurt in the fire.
"He cannot be left alone in the room by himself," Diana Zeltser said of her son. "I'm trying to help him move on, but the two kids usually sleep in the same room still."
Despite fears that fire will once again make them homeless, Diana Zeltser said she and her family are optimistic they can piece their lives back together.
Since March donations to the Zeltsers have flooded in and the mother said she has been floored by the generosity of friends and even complete strangers.
"People do amazing, amazing things," Diana Zeltser said. "We got help from total strangers. It's nice to know people really care."
Rego Park resident Ed Gochman, Diana Zeltser's friend and former colleague at the Brooklyn Social Security office, spearheaded efforts to solicit donations for the family. He created a Web site where people can donate using PayPal, set up a Facebook account and made a YouTube video that showed pictures of the family and the formerly charred apartment.
"Sometimes you have to do deeds that don't directly benefit you," Gochman said. "Sometimes you just have to help."
Rabbi Eli Blokh of Chabad of Rego Park, who heard about the fire from Gochman, set up a fund for the family so individuals could make charitable, tax-deductible donations.
Due in large part to the efforts of Gochman and Blokh, individuals have contributed more than $15,000 to the Zeltser family as well as clothing and furniture.
"We're not a big congregation or a wealthy congregation, but everybody was moved and everybody pledged," Block said of individuals who attend Chabad of Rego Park.
The family still needs to make some basic repairs to the apartment, including the closets, and have fallen behind on rent payments, but the mother said she has been floored by the donations that have flooded in from the community.
Despite all the help, life is still hard for the Zeltsers, who were recently profiled in The New York Times' neediest cases series, and they continue to look for donations to help them finish basic repairs to the apartment.
"You know, even with everything that has happened to us, I still feel lucky," Diana Zeltser said. "I'm really fortunate nobody died, that my family is safe. We lost everything, we had no insurance, but we have our health, we can work and people around us can help."

Seems like over-the top moe show so far, disappointing (and that's coming from someone who loved K-on).
I'm not too thrilled by the character designs for one. They are everything I've seen before a hundred times (ojou-sama stereotype, knight-girl stereotype, prince-stereotype, mahou shojo stereotype, benevolent goddess stereotype, opposite twins stereotype, maid stereotype, villager stereotype etc). Same stereotype personalities with same stereotype sharp voice acting as well (thus far). Secondly, I despise this "main characters are special" for no parent reason, routine. Its such a pathetic excuse to shine the spotlight on them. Their relationship doesn't seem to make much sense either. Though I suppose we can always assume they simply grew up together, or something like that. Well anyway, nothing good about the show for now.

Let's see, I liked it, pure and simple I like what I like and I liked this, alot.
It's rather silly fun and I'm fine with that as to start with didn't know anything about this apart from the fact I loved the character designs I like the humor, especially when it involves Carina and the twins. Oh and how blissful it must be to be blessed by the gods like that, who else needs to show up now, a megane-chan? But then I think it's just as Shinova puts it Quote:

Spoiler for Cross-reference game vs. Episode 1 (no future spoilers):
Without getting into it, how slow the plot mostly depends on how many optional quests you decide to do (if you're a completionist, the first chapter can definitely can take a long time). But the anime itself appears to be sort of like a highlight reel on fast forward, and is only 12 episodes, so yeah -- you'll get the basics, anyway.

Seriously, I wasn't expecting too much in terms of plot or anything like that. Those, I'll leave to other animes. This is more or less light hearted though mindless fan service.
That being said, Shelly aka Mother... Done. Just... Done. I mean... Just... Done. I don't even... Yeah... Done... I'm just going to leave now. |

I was trying to get around to playing the game a while back, but never managed to find the time for it amidst all the other things that were occupying me ... i guess this is my chance to get a condensed version of the story. And much as i remember a certain someone saying *waves at relentless*, this was an exercise in pure, unrestrained fluff.
And fluff it was; if there is one thing that stood out about this episode, it was just how busy it felt, and just about each and every one of those busy moments was in turn busy trying to induct me with diabetes, and nearly succeeding. It was almost a little overwhelming, but i will learn to live with it - after all i have nothing against fluff The cast seems quite likable overall, and although they had a bit too many character introductions to get a proper feel for most of them, they still did fine in establishing the basic traits of their personalities and, for the most part, how their relationship dynamics work with each other. (Loved the twins and their antics - i have always had a soft spot for a snarky/gullible comedy duo). From the females on their own, i found myself rather fond of Carina - while the rest fall inside more ready archetypes, it has been a while since i have encountered what is technically an ojousama, but doesn't really act like we are used to see them act, and wears her heart on a sleeve ... on that note i wonder if Leicester has done the impossible in managing to miss her more than obvious giganormous crush on him, but the answer is probably "yes" ... even though girls are falling left and right for him, he seems the type for whom it would fly over his head, until smacked directly in the face with it ... in the literal meaning probably ... ah well, all part of the franchise, will have to ride it out and see where (if anywhere) it takes us. Overall i was rather satisfied with this start - while the episode was pretty crammed, it left me feeling that the show generally knows what it is and what it is trying to do, which is always reassuring. Hard to say where the plot leads from here (aside from deeper in to a sugary dose of lively fluff), but that should become clear soon enough. It won't be anything groundbreaking, but it looks to be gearing towards being enjoyable, which is what matters for me in the end.

@ Skyfall, diabetes is a condition where you have problems with urinating and also experience abnormal hunger and thirst. Are you sure that's the word you intended?
There are very few shows that get the school days vibe. Actually I like to think school days is its own niche in the already niche genre.

What you listed are some of the more unpleasant side effects, the condition is more commonly known as a person having high sugar level within his blood (due to insufficient insulin, but that isn't relevant to the point), hence the comment of the anime being so high on sugary cuteness that it might well be prone to causing said disorder

This is ridiculously cute, in a good way. I don't share a lot of the complaints about the anime; as long as the characters keep this sort of interesting dialogue, I don't care about its fluff or lack or plot. I love the pace and the setting. This is what I wanted when I was playing Rune Factory Frontier.
Anges has the best voice, I have to say, but my favorite is Ritos. |

What can life insurance agents do to help charities?
By Ken Davis
I know, life settlements have a bad name, but using them for charitable donations is a laudable goal.
Dr. Bob stands in the empty shell of a huge room. He is explaining to touring visitors that they need $48 million to finish the room into a much needed children's emergency room.
He shared a story about his first day of his job at this hospital. A little girl came into the old emergency room with her foot all but severed from her leg. Another hospital said they could not save it, but checked with his hospital to see if they could help. He swore to the parents of this little girl that he would save it.
Years later he watched as the little girl ran across the room with full feeling and use of her foot. She had no limp at all. His hospital is the only level one trauma center in the state. He knows there is much more to do and he is on a mission to save lives and the quality of life of our precious children.
Dr. Bob's father, Don, is proud of his son's accomplishments and has donated large sums of money to the hospital in the past. Don is retiring from his own medical practice because of heart trouble. He is 70 years old and sick.
Don wished he could do more to help his son realize his dream of building that unit. Don is about to let a $4 million term life policy lapse because he and his partner have sold their medical practice and they do not need it anymore. Don is unaware the policy is convertible into a permanent policy and that it is worth $1.15 million to investors because of his age and medical condition.
He does not know he could gift over $1 million to his son's program to help the kids and honor his son. And he is unaware that he has the option of gifting that converted policy into the hospital foundation and contributing tax deductible cash to the charity each year to pay the annual policy premiums and create a $4 million endowment in his son's name instead.
If only some informed agent could get to him before he throws all that money in the trash. And that is why I want you to read this article. There are thousands of real policies sitting in drawers that could do much good in the world. And you have the skills to help charities find these policies.
Imagine all the old life policies, big and small, sitting in drawers across America that will never get used. These are unused and unappreciated assets that were once useful to families and businesses but now sit collecting dust.
Some are term policies and some have cash. Some have cash, but most of the cash has been borrowed. Give it some thought and you will recall many different situations that you have seen in your career to add to this list of forgotten and unwanted policies.
The cash in the policies is valuable, but most of us do not think about the life settlement value. I know, life settlements have a bad name, but using them for charitable donations is a laudable goal. Charities that keep the policies in force instead of selling them pay no income tax on the gains. And in the latter case there is no fat cat investor making big profits off someone else's demise. It just makes more sense and feels better.
What if passionate volunteers were told to look for these nuggets of gold buried in their drawers? What if the charities and their board members were simply told to ask their members to actively look for old unused policies sitting in their drawers?
What if their web sites and newsletters consistently asked for members to look for these policies? What if those board members, and the charity's staff, started digging through their own desk drawers and asked their parents about any old policies sitting, unused, in the dark ? Think of the money that could be discovered and put to good use.
Now, what if thousands of life insurance agents spread the word across America that this money is being neglected? What if we donated our time to review those policies and found creative ways to breathe new life into them?
And then what if you all started sending me your success stories and we published the results of that campaign to the press and shined a big spot light on how life insurance agents are helping charities all across America?
That is my vision and I would love your help in getting this done. Will you be part of this project to spread the word about digging for gold in desk drawers?
Contact me and I will put you on a list of volunteers and keep you informed of our progress. I will also share the creative strategies of what we can do with these policies to put them to better use; be it a term conversion or a life settlement type solution. Or even a replacement of an old cash value policy into a better design or cost of insurance.
I can also point you to an MGA/IMO life agency that will do the foot work on all of this for us for free.
By the way, Bob's dad, and his policy, is a fiction. However, the real Bob goes by a different name and heads up the trauma unit at Phoenix Children's Hospital.
I stood in that large unfinished room last night and listened to his story with awe and a flush of emotion as he talked about that little girl. And then I listened to another doctor in their new heart ward talking about actually replacing a new born baby's heart at birth so they could live. This is truly amazing stuff.
Go out and get involved with these charities and do good works. You may start with a profit motive in mind to convert life policies and to make a commission. That is all fine and good, but I will guarantee you will soon find yourself getting excited about what you can do to help people lead better lives. It is infectious.
I look forward to meeting with you and sharing this exciting venture. I hope to hear from you soon.

Fat Mike strikes
My sitter had been called in to work the night shift. That left me there with her husband – "Fat Mike". He is about 5'-8" tall and weighs about 250 lbs. Although not a flattering nick name, he has been called fat mike since he was a kid.
I was awoken by voices. I lie there trying to go to back to sleep but heard them in the living room. I was on a twin bed and the doorway to the bedroom was off the living room. There was no door, just the framed opening for one. Light from the living room spilled into the bedroom and partially lit it. There was enough of a glow in the room to make everything distinguishable – not enough to read by, but enough to see fairly well.
The TV was on and drowning out most of the voices but I knew someone else was in there besides just Fat Mike. I got out of bed and crept to the doorway. I was shocked by what I witnessed! The scene before me clarified what I had heard them saying before I arose. The voices were not, as I thought, coming from the TV, but it was actually them speaking…….
"Want another beer Jim?" Fat Mike inquired.
"Yeah I'll take one" Jim replied. "Like I was saying, she has not gave me any pussy for almost 7 months. I don't know what the fuck is up her ass. I know one thing though; I am damn tired of jacking off. But, I don't want to fuck around on her".
"A stiff dick has no conscience" Fat Mike said.
"That sounds about right, but what if I like the other woman more than her. That would be a hell of a mess."
"Who said it has to be another woman? Hells bells Jim, there are all kinds of ways to get off. You don't have to fuck another woman. There are all kinds of things you can do to make jacking off a lot more fun also".
"Like what?" Jim asked.
"Well, for instance, you could jack off with someone else." Mike replied.
"What do you mean – jack off another guy!!" Jim disgustedly replied.
"No, no, no. What I mean is jack of while another guy jacks off at the same time. You know, just watching the other guy adds a little heat to the situation. Anytime someone cums it excites a little something in you also. Watching someone else cum makes it a little hotter when you cum. See what I mean"
"Well, maybe." Jim hesitantly replied.
"I haven't got laid for a month myself, so you wanna' give it a try?" Mike leered at him as he began to rub his cock through his jeans.
"Um, well,….I"
This is the point in their conversation that I peered through the doorway.
"Remember what I said, a stiff dick has no conscience" Mike added as he unzipped his jeans and pulled out his thickening cock. It was not very long, about 4", but it was very fat, and uncircumcised. It looked to be about the width of Pepsi can, a little smaller, but fat none the less.
Mike wrapped his thumb and fist two fingers of his right hand around his cock and began to stroke up and down. As his fingers reached the tip they pulled the foreskin up over the crown, completely covering it, then back down to his balls, exposing the purple head and pulling the skin taut. Jim shifted uncomfortably in the recliner across from the couch Mike was setting on. He stared, transfixed, as did I, as Mike continued to stroke his cock. Jim took a long drink of the beer, exclaimed "What the hell" and proceeded to unzip his jeans also. He hauled his cock out of his jeans which turned out to be a long, skinny one. It was about 6" long with the diameter being about the same as that of a quarter. He began to stroke his cock also.
"Come over here and set beside me" Mike whispered as he quickly stroked his cock "so we can see better" he added. Jim moved over to the couch beside Mike, his stiff cock waving in front of him.
As they sat there jacking off Mike reached over and started stroking Jim's cock. Jim sucked in a surprised gasp of air and started to protest. Mike said "remember, a stiff dick has no conscience". Jim reluctantly relaxed and let Mike jack him off. Precum started to leak from Jim's cock. Mike quickly bent over and sucked the head of Jim's cock between his lips and cleaned off the precum. Jim's body jerked as Mike's tongue cleaned the sensitive tip of his cock. Mike sat back up, continuing to stroke Jim's cock he said "You like that?"
Jim just stammered, trying to reply, but to no avail. Mike said "Don't worry – it does not mean you are gay or anything, just that you like to be stimulated, just that you want to cum. How you cum makes no difference. A stiff dick has no conscience."
"Yeah, that was kind of nice." Jim finally stated.
"Want some more?"
Mike bent over again and this time he took Jim's skinny cock all the way into his throat. "Ssssssssssss" came from Jim's clinched teeth as he sucked in a deep breath as Mike's tongue worked his cock. Jim rose up off the couch a little as Mike continued to suck his cock and began to tug on his balls. Just as Mike sensed Jim was about to shoot his load he stopped. Jim was pretty much fully committed at this point, not to mention the effect the beer had on relaxing him and releases his inhibitions.
"Oh man, why did you stop" Jim asked.
"Because it's your turn" Mike grinned at him.
"Oh, I don't know about that" Jim stammered. "Hey, I did it and am OK. I did not turn gay, nothing bad happened" Mike growled as he caressed the slick head of Jim's cock with his thumb. "Well, maybe….OK" Jim replied. He bent over and took Mikes short, fat cock between his lips. Mike lay his head back on the couch and waited patiently as Jim got the hang of giving a blow job. Jim's lips were stretched paper thin as he went down on Mike's fat cock. Eventually he got the entire shaft coated with saliva and began to give Mike a pretty good blow job. Good enough that after about two minutes Mike grunted, his body tensed, then he placed his hands on the back of Jim's head as his ass rose off the couch and his cock erupted. Jim gagged but could not get Mike's cock out of his mouth because of Mike's hands on the back of his head. Mike sank back into the couch as a huge breath of air burst from his lungs. His hands fell off the back of Jim's head. Jim rose up, gagged a little, coughed and then hacked up a mouthful of phlegm along with the remnants of Mike's cum which he spat into a nearby ash tray.
"Why the hell did you do that?" Jim demanded. "I'll show you" Mike replied as he bent over and took Jim's softening cock into his mouth. His cock rapidly hardened as Mike expertly sucked it. Before long Jim was panting heavily and about to cum. Mike did not let up. He continued to suck Jim's cock until it began to pump streams of warm cum down his throat. Jim's body shook and twitched as he blew his load. With one final tug on Jim's balls and a lick to the bottom of his cock head, Mike sat upright on the couch. "See, that is why I did that. Felt pretty damn good, huh?"
"I think I better be going now" Jim stated as he rose off the couch, placing his soft cock back inside his jeans.
"Remember, a stiff dick has no conscience" Mike said as Jim went out the front door.
At this point I crept back to bed and tried to go to sleep.
I heard the clicking and whirring sounds of a tape being loaded into the VCR. Soon after I heard "fuck sounds" coming from the living room. After about ten minutes I heard Mike mumble to himself about need to fuck something. I sensed movement and saw a shadow fall across my bed as Mike stood in the doorway. I lay face down, pretending to be asleep. Mike entered the room and stood beside the head of the bed. In the dim light I could see that he had removed his jeans and underwear but not his dingy white t-shirt. He was also stroking his semi-rigid cock. He bent down to take a closer look at me; I suppose to make sure I was asleep. I could smell the beer on his breath. He stood upright, placed his right knee on the bed beside me then leaned over and dangled his cock in my face. I felt the warm head of it as he drug it across my face letting it rest against my lips. The odor was overpowering – a sweaty, thick, pungent man smell.
He began to two finger stroke his cock as I had seen him do earlier on the couch. His cock stiffened and was soon bouncing roughly against my lips as he jacked off. After a little while his cock started to emit precum which got all over my lips making them very slick. Now the head of his cock was brushing my teeth as he stroked it. I continued to feign sleep.
He stopped. "I gotta' do it" he whispered. He put his hands on the mattress behind me and hiked his leg up over me and crawled into the twin bed with me. He pushed me over and rolled me onto my side, my back toward his front. He shoved my underwear down to my knees. Then I felt a wet finger being shoved up my little asshole. I flinched at this intrusion but continued to feign sleep. Mike was breathing heavily now. He wormed his finger around inside my asshole for a couple minutes then removed it and replaced it with the precum slicked head of his fat cock. I heard him spit on his fingers then felt his cock move around as he coated it with saliva.
He slid his left arm under my neck, bent it at the elbow so that his meaty forearm clamped over my mouth. His right hand aimed his stiff cock between my ass cheeks as he shoved forward. The precum slick tip of it slid up and down between my ass cheeks, desperately seeking my hole. Suddenly it found the mark and popped into my ass. The suddenness of this intrusion accompanied by the painful stretching of my little asshole made me flinch uncontrollably and try to gasp around his arm. "I know you are awake". "Just relax, be quiet and this will not hurt as much and not take as long".
He continued to push into me. His hot cock stretched my asshole to its physical limit. The pain was virtually unbearable. Just as I thought he was all the way in he wrapped his right arm around my waist and roughly pulled me back against him as his hips forcefully drove his cock forward. I felt the last inch of it slide into my ass. Mercifully he stopped there, letting me have a chance to get used to his cock inside me.
When it started there was no slowing down, no pause. He jack hammered his hips, sawing his cock in and out of my shit hole. His right arm pulled my waist in unison with the pumping of his hips. His cock was short enough that even when it was pulled out to the crown his stomach was still firmly pressed against my ass cheeks. This furious fucking went on for about seven or eight minutes. He was grunting, panting, and cursing. Suddenly he stopped, muttering "I can't cum like this."
"Get on your hands and knees" Mike ordered. I complied.
"Spread your ass open" he ordered as he got on his knees behind me. I complied.
I felt his left hand on the small of my back. He pushed down, angling my ass up. His right hand guided the tip of his cock to my asshole. He roughly shoved forward and buried his cock balls deep in my ass with one powerful stroke. Surprisingly, fortunately, it did not hurt nearly as bad this time, almost no pain.
He began to pump his fat cock in and out of my ass, his sweaty flesh sticking to my skin. "Reach back between your legs and play with my balls" he ordered. I complied. I palmed his heavy balls and began to roll them around as he continued to pump my ass. "Harder" he panted. I did not know what he wanted so continued as I was. "Harder God damn it!" he snapped "pull on them balls, squeeze'em, fuck! Pull!" he yelled out. I frantically grasped a handful of his balls and nut sack and begin to gently squeeze and tug on them. "Harder!!" he yelled. I roughly pulled, I felt one of his nuts squirt between my fingers, like a bar of soap in the shower, as I squeezed and pulled down stretching his nut sack as far as I could. "Oh YEAH! Fuck YES!"he yelled as he continued to pump his hips while I kept his nut sack tightly stretched. Each short back stroke of his hips threatened to pull his remaining nut and scrotum flesh from between my squeezing fingers. His fingers painfully dug into the flesh of my hips as he fiercely pulled back each time he slammed his fat cock back up my asshole. "AAAAAGH" he yelled as his cock started to fill my ass with cum. I could feel each spurt as his big vein on the bottom of his cock filled with cum and spewed it into my asshole. His body quivered and he slammed into me one last time. He let go of my hips and collapsed onto my back forcing me flat onto the mattress. I could barely breathe. He lay there gasping for a minute then slowly got up. I felt his softening cock "plop" out of my asshole. He stood beside the bed looking at me. I said nothing. I knew to not ever say anything about this without any threats from him. "A stiff dick has no conscience" he muttered as he walked back into the living room.

We have the biggest election coming up and they are bringing this shit up? WHO GIVES A FLYING #$%#?

Lessons of history... the civil war was a very instructive period. Also puts things in perspective. I've heard people say that this is "the most important election evar" but seriously, Lincoln vs Douglas was nation-defining. Although Lincoln really did crush Douglas in the EV. :)
Yeah, yeah, you liberals hate Lincoln just like you hated Reagan. Face the facts, the Dem party is the racist party ... And liberals are baby killers ;)
Going Bankrupt? We've been bankrupt for at least a decade. We're just able to hide it because we print money, and we're the world's reserve currency.
Romney has an 8 year plan to balance the budget. Do you know how absurd this is? "Balancing the budget" should not take 8 years. Because it means we'll be running deficits for the next 8 years until the balancing occurs. We'll be 20 trillion in the hole. If you want to balance the budget, just return spending levels to 10 years ago. It's not like we were wallowing in poverty then. Hell, Clinton expanded Medicare AND balanced the budget. Romney is going to gut entitlements and take 8 years to balance the budget? Something doesn't add up.
If Obama wins the story will be about Chris Matthews' nipples.
