*** (out of four)
It was probably only a matter of time before Will Ferrell, so perfect as president George. W. Bush on "Saturday Night Live," starred onscreen as a hapless politician who punches a baby—and Uggie, the dog from "The Artist."
As if punching a baby weren't enough to tank a campaign.
Actually, almost nothing can destroy the political hopes of four-term North Carolina congressman Cam Brady (Ferrell) and Marty Huggins (Zach Galifianakis), running for office for the first time as a last-ditch effort to impress his father (Brian Cox). A couple of politically powerful, sleazy suits (Dan Aykroyd, John Lithgow) back Marty, assuming he will support their paying just 50 cents-an-hour to Chinese sweatshop workers. It's not long before Cam hits Marty with a low blow, and the political newcomer pays much more attention to retaliating than to the issues.
Sometimes pairing two goofy personalities breeds silliness overload. Ferrell and Galifianakis, however, merely blend like two compatible colors of finger-paint, their childlike affability earning laughs and even sweetness despite BAD behavior and a few particularly misjudged campaign ads that would never make it past the FCC.
The script, aside from an unfortunate fondness for fat jokes, is funnier more often than not. (One personal favorite: That the lone celebrity encounter in Hammond, N.C., occurred when Rosie Perez got lost there 8 years ago.) Co-written by Chris Henchy ("The Other Guys"), "The Campaign" recalls the straightforward plotting and dimwitted likability of "Tommy Boy" and "Step Brothers." And I mean that in a good way.
"The Campaign" earns its R rating but doesn't revel in crass, Sandler-esque raunch. And while it may not tell much of a story or unearth new political truths—what, some people will do and say anything to win?!—this comedy winningly recognizes just how revolutionary the truth can be in a system (and everyday world) increasingly built on spin and empty words.
Marty probably won't be able to end daylight savings time in his district, but you gotta salute the man for standing up for a cause he believes in. On Earth, not the moon.

Handmade holidays :: a DIY wreath
With only one more week to go before X-mas we felt we needed a little more deco around the house to get into the mood completely. The idea for the Christmas balls we got from the latest issue of Whip up's Action Pack. We made a whole bunch of them using fabric scraps, sequins, yarn, my favorite baker's twine and some lace we still had lying around. Three were used to decorate a (store-bought) wreath. The balls were attached using a hot glue gun. We tied two pieces of fabric scraps in a bow for the finishing touch and - Voilà!

Pascale, I very much admire your wreath's design, and think it's particularly great that you are recycling treasures. I also am a saver of bits and pieces, since I just know that someday I will find a place where these bits and pieces will have a star role.

Kids Projects: 5 Ways to Use Mason Jars
Mason jars, will we ever tire of them? They are useful in every room of the house, and not just for grown-ups only. Here are five uses for mason jars just for kids.
1. As toy storage. Think little toys that could use being grouped in little sets, like LEGO. Even better, paint your jar to look like a Lego minifigure! More info over at Spaceships and Laserbeams.
2. As a piggy bank. Keep an eye on that money coming in from the toy fairy! You can even swap your regular lid out for a coin slot lid, like this one on Etsy.
3. For craft supplies. Kids' craft supplies are so bright and colorful, they should be on display. Bonus: for the animal topped look (House to Home), check out this tutorial from Mason Jar Crafts Love.
4. To watch plants grow. A mason jar would be an excellent starting place to plant a seedling, and see both the leaves and the roots grow, as seen on Modern Parents Messy Kids. No need to even buy a plant, you could start off with a sweet potato! See more ideas
5. Last of all, as their nightlight. Wow! Check out these amazing glowing mason jar night lights. The tutorial is here, on Latest Handmade.

Last week highlighted the challenge posed to the Obama administration in dealing with the "new Egypt."
On Wednesday, the White House thanked Mohamed Morsi, Egypt's first civilian president and a former leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, for his "constructive" contribution to a Gaza cease-fire, implicitly affirming Egypt's role as a stabilizing force in a troubled region. Just one day later, after having proved his strategic value in much the same way his predecessor did, Morsi took another page from Hosni Mubarak's playbook by placing his decrees beyond any judicial review. Many Egyptians saw this as a power grab. Under pressure from the judiciary, Morsi this week appears to have partially relented. But the signal he sent, at home and abroad, suggests he wants near-dictatorial powers.
Washington has to ask: Who then governs Egypt? An ideologue bent on using political power to Islamize Egypt or a pragmatic national leader committed to advancing the interests of all the people? Or, is he a bit of both?
The jury is out and may be for some time. After examining politics in the "new Egypt" for three months, we have concluded that not only are the answers uncertain but that the revolution that swept Mubarak from power nearly two years ago is not over. Fundamental questions about the direction of the Muslim Brotherhood, the popularity of the even more extreme Salafists, the potential unity of non-Islamist parties, the role of the military in politics and the approach all these actors take toward key U.S. interests — including peace with Israel — remain profoundly unclear.

You know a video game has gone mainstream when it's mentioned in a talk show host's opening monologue — and you know it's a really big deal when it gets a full-fledged parody.
During last night's episode of The Tonight Show, Jay Leno paid tribute to the arrival of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 with his own take on "The Vet & The Noob" ad that originally featured actors Sam Worthington and Jonah Hill. In Leno's version of the ad, he's paired with Worthington for an explosive introduction to the game that ends with Leno firing a rocket at the Ed Sullivan Theater, where The Late Show with David Letterman is filmed.
The ad simply superimposes Leno's head over Hill's in the original ad, but it's still a nice reminder of just how big of a deal this week's release of Modern Warfare 3 really is.

Gas 'N Go: Sunoco to Sponsor July Mod Race
Fueled by jaw-dropping passes, powerful bump-drafts and blazing corner speeds, the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour offers some of the most electrifying racing of the weekend whenever it comes to New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Today, speedway officials topped off the tank, adding Sunoco as the entitlement sponsor for the Sunoco 100 on Saturday, July 12.
As part of the agreement, victory lane at the Magic Mile has been officially renamed: Sunoco Victory Lane.
"Sunoco literally fuels our sport, from NASCAR Sprint Cup vehicles all the way down to the Whelen Modified cars here at New Hampshire Motor Speedway," said Jerry Gappens, executive vice president and general manager of NHMS. "It's fitting that the company that propels these cars to victory lane should be recognized for its role in the race. We're proud to add the Sunoco label to our Victory Lane and race entitlement. It reflects the successes we all have together in racing."
The Sunoco 100 will feature some of the biggest names in the sport, including defending division champion Ryan Preece, defending race champion Doug Coby and five-time NHMS Modified winner Ted Christopher. NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Ryan Newman is also expected to run, as well as a number of drivers from the Whelen Southern Modified Tour.
Involved in motorsports for five decades, Sunoco has been the Official Fuel of NASCAR since 2004, fueling 18 million miles of NASCAR racing - enough to circle the earth more than 700 times. Sunoco supports all three of NASCAR's national touring divisions - Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck - as well as the K&N Pro Series East and Whelen Modified Tour.
"We're proud to strengthen our relationship with the New Hampshire Motor Speedway and the surrounding community through sponsorship of the Sunoco 100 and additional branding at the facility, including Sunoco Victory Lane," said Drew Kabakoff, brand manager for Sunoco. "We're delighted to expand our presence in the New England region by connecting the Sunoco brand with one of the most exciting events on the Whelen Modified Tour schedule."
This season also marks the 10th anniversary of Sunoco's Free Fuel 5,000 annual summer promotion, which is celebrating a decade of free fuel to consumers. The Free Fuel 5,000 will give 10 grand prize winners $5,000 in Sunoco fuel. Contestants may enter by putting the Sunoco decal on their vehicles; if spotted they will receive a prize on the spot and be entered to win a grand prize. Spotters will be looking for winners throughout the months of July and August at more than 5,000 locations across the United States.
The Sunoco 100 will drop the green flag at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 12, and will air on Fox Sports 1 on Friday, July 18 at noon. The Sunoco 100 will be preceded by NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour qualifying for the Sunoco 100 at 8:00 a.m.; NASCAR Nationwide Series qualifying for the Sta-Green 200 at 10:05 a.m.; and followed by the running of the Sta-Green 200 at 3:30 p.m.

South Dakota RV Dealers Look for Rebound
January 14, 2011 by RVBusiness · 1 Comment
American families are ready to hitch up their trailers and tow the RV industry out of its worst stretch in nearly two decades.
The industry was driven into the ditch in 2009 by the recession. Sales plunged, plants closed and thousands of jobs were cut as orders for recreational vehicles dropped to their worst level since 1991.
But now, RV makers are starting to turn profits and have begun to hire, the Rapid City (S.D.) Journal reported.
And dealers — including those in the Black Hills — are ordering more RVs for their showrooms. This year, shipments of RVs ranging from entry-level popups to spacious motorhomes are expected to hit their highest level since 2007, when the economic downturn began.
Mid-States Campers, in Summerset at Exit 48, just placed an order for $2 million in inventory, salesman Danny Watt said.
"We're predicting it'll be a good year," the dealership's manager, Craig Wachendorf, said.
He said 2010 sales were back to prerecession levels, and he predicts about 10% growth in 2011 in sales of fifth-wheel and towable campers, with steady sales over 2010 in the more expensive motorhomes.
That's the trend around the country.
A growing share of RV sales comes from families choosing less expensive towable RVs, including folding camping trailers, or popups. Those towables are smaller and cost a fraction of the price of amenity-filled motorhomes favored by older travelers.
Before the recession hit, towables accounted for eight out of every 10 new RV shipments. Now they make up about nine out of 10 RVs shipped to dealers.
Towables, attached to pickups or hitched to the back of another vehicle, cost between $4,000 and $100,000, according to the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA). Stand-alone motorhomes can start at about $41,000 for van-like RVs, according to the industry group, while spacious, bus-like vehicles can run as much as $400,000 for top-of-the-line models.
And that's before the cost of gas. Big RVs can get as little as 8 miles per gallon.
Bob Olson, CEO of RV manufacturer Winnebago Industries Inc., said a trend of families buying cheaper towables is encouraging.
"They have to start somewhere. And one thing about this lifestyle, you get hooked on it and you want to upgrade," he said.
The industry is forecasting some recovery across all RV models. It expects shipments from manufacturers to dealers to hit 236,700 in 2010, up 43% from 2009's nearly 20-year low of 165,700. In 2011, shipments are forecast to reach 246,000.
Higher shipments mean dealers expect retail sales to rise. The two don't always correlate, but there are signs that sales will, in fact, grow in the mid-single digits in 2011 "with a bias toward cheaper units," said Bret Jordan, who follows RV companies for Avondale Partners.
"It correlates pretty well with consumer confidence and economic improvement," he said.
Still, this year's pace of shipments remains far below the 2006 level of 390,560 — the high-water mark for a quarter century.
And speed bumps remain. Many consumers remain wary of big-ticket purchases and many RV owners have delayed trading in older models for bigger ones. Credit isn't as nearly free flowing as in prerecessionary times.
Service departments have seen steady work as RV owners held onto older models. Donna Maloney, general manager at Dakota RV at Interstate 90 and Deadwood Avenue, said, "People were keeping what they had longer."
Motorhome sales are still sluggish, she said.
"The people that can afford the motorhomes did get hit the hardest," she said, speaking of older consumers who saw their nest eggs take a hit. "I'm guessing it's taking them longer to come back."
But sales of fifth-wheels and trailers have rebounded, she said.
"People that RV, they're not going to give up their toys and their fun," Maloney said.
Even today's small models feel luxurious, with amenities such as king-sized beds, wood cabinets, flat-screen televisions and residential-style lighting fixtures common even in fifth-wheel trailers. Other "toy-hauler" models feature rear garages with covered space to store motorcycles, snowmobiles or four-wheelers, space that converts to a party deck when the vehicles are unloaded, Watt said.
With modern kitchens including refrigerators, stoves, microwaves and more, even in the smaller models, "They're not having to rough it," Maloney said.

Creating an Escape at Home: Backyard Camping
When I was younger, my parents stored our pop-up camper on our back patio when it wasn't in use. Luckily for my sister and I, they kept it opened up during the warm months so that we could camp in our backyard whenever we'd like. It was an inexpensive and fun way to feel like we were on vacation without spending a dime. Here are some great ways you can create your own camping escape at home (even if you don't have a backyard!)
1. No tent? Sleeping bags will suffice on a warm, dry night. And for a bonus, set up a screen or hang a sheet to create an outdoor movie theater like these folks in Echo Park, California did. Want a little cover? Make your own DIY backyard teepee.
2. Or you could rent a tent for a night! Suburban Camping Co. offers everything from tents to yard games, s'more bars, outdoor movie setups, and more.
3. Plan some kid-friendly camping activities. BCS Families has some ideas like glow stick hide and seek and roasting Starbursts.
4. Other crowd pleasers include popcorn, tree stump seating, and camping bingo - check out Thirty Handmade Days for a free printable.
5. And for you urbanites/apartment dwellers, Small Notebook has a great example of camping at home without a backyard.

Just checking in, new project 75 R60/6 as of last week. First BMW for me.
It's in pretty rough shape, but runs, and smokes more than Charlie Sheen & Keith Richards combined. Going to do a leakdown check tonight and most likely pull the cylinders to take a peek & measure rings.
Haven't dismantled a horizontally opposed engine since A&P school 20 years ago, so this should be fun.

All News Releases By Date
EPA and Mass National Guard Reach Agreement on 2011 Firing Range Training Violation Allegations at Camp Edwards
Release Date: 09/06/2012
Contact Information: David Deegan, (617) 918-1017
(Boston, Mass. – Sept. 6, 2012) – On Aug. 30, 2012, EPA issued a Consent Agreement and Final Order with the Massachusetts National Guard to resolve EPA allegations of violations of operations and maintenance requirements by the Guard in managing three firing ranges at Camp Edwards.
Camp Edwards is located on the northern portion of the Massachusetts Military Reservation (MMR) a 22,000-acre property that has been used for military training activities since 1935. The base is located over an aquifer that is the sole source of drinking water for residents of Cape Cod.
Two environmental cleanup programs (one implemented by the Army, the other by the Air Force) are addressing the areas of soil and groundwater contamination that have resulted from activities on site. The U.S. Air Force is addressing contamination from the Otis Air Force Base primarily in the southern portion of MMR under the Federal Superfund Program. The U.S. Army is addressing contamination at Camp Edwards in the northern portion of MMR as required by EPA under the authority of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA).
In 1997 and 2000, EPA issued to the Guard a series of administrative orders under SDWA to protect the sole source groundwater aquifer underlying MMR. One of those orders prohibited Guard training with live ammunition to protect the sole source Cape Cod Aquifer. The Guard had since petitioned EPA to resume small arms training with lead ammunition at three firing ranges, known as J, K and T Ranges. Following the petitions, EPA consented to the training with particular safeguards, including use of bullet capture systems and compliance with Operation, Maintenance and Monitoring Plans ("OMMPs") developed for each of the three ranges.
In 2011, EPA identified that the Guard had not complied with OMMP requirements related to the bullet capture systems at the three firing ranges. Specifically, the Guard failed to pump and dispose of water that was collecting in the bullet capture systems and also failed to notify EPA of issues associated with water collection and disposal.
Following EPA's identification of the alleged violations, EPA and the Guard conducted pre-enforcement negotiations and settled on a Safe Drinking Water Act Consent Agreement and Final Order. The agreement includes a $27,500 cash penalty and the performance of a Supplemental Environmental Project by the Guard that will remove 14 acres of impervious surface at MMR. The estimated value of the project is just over $100,000.
"This demonstrates EPA's continuing vigilance to ensure that the environment at the Upper Cape is protected," said Curt Spalding, regional administrator of EPA's New England office. "We are proud of the cleanup successes that EPA, in partnership with Mass DEP, has achieved with the Guard on many projects at MMR. At the same time, we will not hesitate to take action when necessary to deter future violations that could impact the environment."
The Supplemental Environmental Project will assist the groundwater underlying MMR, and will enhance protection of state-listed threatened and endangered species.
"EPA's action will result in the restoration of 14 acres of sandplain grassland habitat, which is critical for rare plants, moths, butterflies, and birds such as the upland sandpiper, grasshopper sparrow, vesper sparrow, and northern harrier," said Mary Griffin, Commissioner of the Massachusetts Department of Fish and Game. "We are pleased that the EPA and Massachusetts National Guard have agreed to this important habitat restoration project under the Consent Agreement."
EPA and the Guard continue to work together on a large number of cleanup actions pursuant to the Safe Drinking Water Act on MMR.
More information:
Additional information on EPA cleanup work at MMR can also be found at (https://www.epa.gov/region1/mmr/index.html)
Regular public meetings are held on or near the MMR with representatives from the EPA, Massachusetts DEP, and the Army and Air Force cleanup programs. (http://states.ng.mil/sites/ma/resources/erc/calendar.htm)

TTR's first round happened without much carnage.
The vehicle's turn went without much risk taking except that the wasteland survivors accelerated a dangerous amount, but their hero's ego saw them through.
Current speeds:
Train: 16"
Survivor car: 24"
Aqua car: 20"
Both motorcycles: 18"
A horse appears upon the horizon
The speed of travel reveals that the horse is about to hit the survivor's car.
The Peach
The turn begins by the guy at the front dropping his knife and dynamite,
Picking up the MN Launcher,
And mumbling about the weight of it while walking to the locomotive.
After a grand speech from the peach hero, the gunner at the automatic shotgun decided to shoot at the back tires of the wastelander's car.
But to no reward.
Both uzimen took a side to shoot from.
But did floccinaucinihilipilification in their eyes.
Blitz fired at both the Peaches, missing them, and the survivors, hitting one but without causing death.
The guy with the hammer sat down because he didn't have a ranged weapon.
Wasteland Survivors
They position themselves to fire.
First blood goes to the survivors.
Oh no, they killed the knife guy near the back. At least they didn't kill the guy manning the auto-shotgun.
Civil Protection
All the troopers turn to attack the still standing hero, except the farce user who was sad that only the gun users were ordered to attack.
The guns nearly killed Blitz
But he laughed it off.
Accepting turn two orders.

Beautiful Architectural Floor Drain Covers
Ancient Rome is well-known for its wastewater and water supply and Rome's supply of water system was among the marvels of the ancient world. Rome was kept in mind as the classical city of engineering marvels and grandiose monoliths, however for the average Romans with limited resources, access points (toilets and bath homes were generally located outside their homes.
A visitor to ancient Rome most likely had a lot of difficulty getting around. While there were individual houses and palaces for the powerful and elite, the bulk of Romans lived in mediocre houses with poor supplies of heat, water and light.
Fast forward to our modern-day world in the 21st century and the sewer system continues to play an important function supporting the development of megacities worldwide. Unlike our predecessors back in Rome, modern-day toilet sanitation is available to the majority of households. Check out our architectural floor traps used in toilets.
Jonite Architectural Floor Traps (Floor Gratings, Floor Drain Covers)
In today's world, most homes have well managed and functioning sanitation. We believe everyone deserves more – not just in functionality but also in design. Jonite created the world's first stone homogenous floor trap, achieving desired spontaneity with functional designs. Our aim is to continue designing floor traps that blend seamlessly into any flooring.
Jonite floor traps (floor drains grates) are engineered to fulfill crucial functions while remaining an integral component of the structural floor. Jonite floor traps are available in a wide range of standard colors developed to assist to quickly pick the color they need. More specialised colors are also possible with our unlimited color customisation process which allows Jonite floor traps to be calibrated to any hue or shade desired. Waterproofing our floor traps (floor drain covers) is foremost in our designs, as is the prevention of infiltration by insects and foul air. Special PVC strainers and restrainers fitted with our floor traps work to achieve a cleaner environment.
Green Architecture
Green architecture, philosophy of architecture that promotes sustainable energy sources, the conservation of energy, the reuse and safety of building structure materials, and the siting of a building with consideration of its influence on the environment.
In the early 21st century the building structure of shelter (in all its kinds) consumed over half of the world's resources– translating into 16 percent of the Earth's freshwater resources, 30– 40 percent of all energy supplies, and 50 percent by weight of all the raw materials withdrawn from Earth's surface. Architecture was also responsible for 40– 50 percent of waste deposits in landfills and 20– 30 percent of greenhouse gas emissions.
Lots of architects after the post-World War II building structure boom were content to erect emblematic civic and corporate icons that commemorated profligate consumption and omnivorous globalization. At the turn of the 21st century, nevertheless, a building's environmental integrity– as seen in the method it was created and how it ran– became an important consider how it was assessed.
By the mid-1980s and continuing through the '90s, the variety of environmental advocacy societies drastically expanded; groups such as Greenpeace, Environmental Action, the Sierra Club, Friends of the Earth, and the Nature Conservancy all experienced growing subscriptions. For architects and builders a significant turning point was the formulation in 1994 of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards, established and administered by the U.S. Green Building Council. These standards provided measurable criteria for the design and construction of environmentally responsible buildings.

A recent post on the Wall Street Journal's Real Time Economics blog highlights an interesting number: 7.8.
That's the median number of years government employees at all levels have stayed with their employer, according to Labor Department data. The comparable figure on the private-sector side is 4.2 years.
There's nothing really shocking about these numbers -- job security and long-term employment has long been one of the things that made working in the public sector attractive. And the demographics in the public sector simply are different: 75 percent of government workers are more than 35 years old, while in the private sector only 60 percent are.
What the numbers do reinforce, though, is the reason for the growing envy on the part of many private company employees of public sector pay, benefits and long-term prospects. Job security, after all is exactly what has eroded in the corporate world since the cataclysmic economic events of 2008 kicked off the recession we've been struggling to pull out of ever since.
Of course, with a budget sequester looming, and long-term cuts in federal spending on the horizon regardless of whether across-the-board cuts kick in, job security in government may not be what it once was, either.

If you're an individual looking to buy stocks, it's critical you understand gross margins.
The concept is so important, Jim Cramer doesn't want you to invest a penny until you fully grasp this key financial concept.
The term gross margins may sound complicated and complex but Cramer doesn't want that to intimidate you. It's actually a simple concept.

Based on my expirience with Japanese women in real life they can tend to be a little moe. When they get excited their voices can become cutesy and high pitched but thats about where the similarities end.
The best way I can think of it anime stereotypes are no different then the TV sterotypes in other countries. There might be a speck of truth within them but don't expect Japanese women to be like a different species. Women are women and people are people no matter where you're from. Japanese women probably have more in commen with the women from where you're from than differences.
Check out my new web show and blog about all things Japan www.kawaiistudyjapan.com! Check it out on facebook too! I've been working uber hard and just launched so I want to spread the word. First episode launched TODAY YAY! This is exactly the type of issue I love to talk about so stay tuned!
Well, a class from Japan came to visit my Japanese Class a few weeks ago. From what I can tell, there were a lot of valid stereotypes. There was the cute and outgoing "loli" one, and the shy, quiet "moe" one. And there was one who seemed like she did not want to be there at all, by the look she had on her face. I determined her stereotype as "tsundere."
But the other girls seemed normal.
I'm not saying this is all true, but this is what I witnessed.
NEW ACCOUNT: galaxiias
I've had numerous Japanese exchange students live at my house. And they're nothing like the girls in the animes They're polite and well-mannered
hillbilly buck here, we out here lookin out for sumuh deez snapper flahs
I'm Japanese, and I go to Japan every summer to visit my friends and family there, and let me tell you... Some people are normal but some people can go to the extreme. You will actually see girls like that in Japan, and a lot of them are in some sort of SM addiction.
Edit: I forgot to say, my friends in Japan are mostly the party animals. Most people who come to North America etc as an exchange student are here to study and not to party.

What he said :3.
Murder Time. Fun time.
It depends. There will always be girls like that.
but.. I met some Japanese girls in a professional setting, and holy balls they were the most serious and attractive Japanese girls I've ever seen.
There are a few girls that act like that to be "cute"
but trust me most dont...
you were a dream. Then a reality. Now a memory.
They act like human.
~3.0 5.3-22.214.171.124~ half-neglect this. being random like duck. aye.
oh and a cold is considered a terminal illness.
some girls do, japanese have a special name for them called burikko
thats a name for girls who act overly cute but not other aspects of anime like tsundere
most girls act normal and not burikko
oh... people being shy, mean, or a bit cutesy... I see this literally everywhere, not just in Japan. Every society has these type of personalities... not just Japan.
Currently living in Japan and people just act like people. However, I will say that most of the girls are more submissive (non sexual) and agreeable, meaning they don't really have much say on things. Trust me, I've dated a few girls here. Nice girls, but no real personality. However, there are some completely different girls here. One which I waiting to get back from NZ (留学生). She is still kinda submissive, but she always gives me that look like she's going to tear off my balls when I make fun of her. (all in good fun though).
So there is definitely an interesting mix of girls out here. Non of which you'll ever see on anime and some you might. (however rare it is).
But I will say one thing... the damn wardrobes and clothing people wear here is about accurate with animes (disregarding fantasy anime).
Depends, we are all mostly sexual deviants inside, and explore our bodies like normal people do and grab chests randomly like people grabbing pinwheels. When you look at a group of Asian girls, they might squeal if they see a hot guy, basically the same with a group of guys, except instead of squealing they usually just stare, and maybe even get a bit red. That is life, and it can be like an anime, depending on the seriousness of it.
Instagram @ Cosplay_Book
Not to sound like I'm bragging, but girls tend to giggle and stare at me like a piece of meat when I fix myself up nicely. It's a shame, one girl was literally staring at me for 4 stations on the yamanote line. I should have talked to her, but no... I had a girlfriend who I then proceeded to break up with the next day (she actually brought up the brake although I asked what she wanted to do with it, the relationship that is).
Oh well, I will get my chances again... Tokyo is a really small, big city.

Happy Pfeffernüsse!: It's Never Too Late To Send Imaginary Holiday Cards
Did you manage to send holiday cards out on time this winter? I didn't - I never do! Some years I send "Happy Winter" cards because that buys me a couple of months to get them out, and maybe someday I'll send hundreds of Valentines like Julia & Paul Child did. This year I removed all deadlines, however vague, and made nonsense holiday cards…
In college, my friends and I celebrated Chanamas, a big mash of all of our traditions. The only rule was that Chanamas was not allowed to cause any stress, so we celebrated however and whenever worked for us each year. I believe my senior year we didn't get around to having a party until March, but it was a damn fine party...
Last winter, my dear friend & pastry-boss and I kept threatening to bake pfeffernüsse- traditional German spice cookies- mostly because we enjoyed saying "pfeffernüsse". It soon became our private holiday salutation ("Happy Pfeffernüsse", "Merry Pfeffernüsse!"), especially handy since she celebrates Hanukah and I very casually celebrate Christmas.
When it came time to make my cards this year, I carried our in-joke one step further, adding the French "Bonne"- and on a few cards, I even added the Spanish inverted exclamation point, for added sabor. Nobody can complain that their "¡Happy German Spice Cookie!" card arrived late this year, that is for sure.
- I drew a cakestand full of spice cookies on tracing paper, rubbed the pencil onto a rubber block, and carved away- for full instructions, please see my post, How To: Make Your Own Rubber Stamps.
- I wanted the cards to have the timeless brown-paper-packages-tied-up-with-string feel of kraft paper, but of course they would need to be much sturdier. All the options at the art store screamed "stationary", until I found a 32"x40" piece of chipboard for $2.79. It was thick, homespun, and large enough to make a ton of cards.
- Measuring...really didn't happen, which is why all of these are different sizes. This is the joy of having a big sheet of cheap paper to work with.
- I stamped the pfeffernüsse in white ink, then sprinkled on Martha Stewart Flocked Embossing powder. I fully realized that most of it would come off in the mail, but it made me happy. A few cards got glitter as well.
- I wrote the greeting, address, and a little note on each one with a white gel pen. I was concerned that the Post Office would be able to read them, but they seem to have all reached their destinations safely. Of course, I still have a big stack yet to send out...no hurry.

Potassium is very important to the body. But too much potassium in the blood can be harmful. When your child's kidneys don't work well, too much potassium can build up in the blood. Your child's body receives potassium from the foods he or she eats. Some children may have trouble staying at a normal potassium level. They may need to limit or avoid foods with high amounts of potassium.
Most foods contain some amount of potassium. It is important to avoid or limit foods that are high in potassium if your child is on a low-potassium diet, or if your child's blood level of potassium is too high.
Some foods that are high in potassium include:
Orange juice
Sweet potatoes
Grapefruit juice
Tomato sauce
Use the following list as a guide in your child's food choices. Your child's healthcare provider or dietitian will let you know how much potassium your child can have each day.
Most fruits, juices, and vegetables are high in potassium, especially when eaten raw. Be sure to watch your child's portion sizes. This is especially important if your child is on a low-potassium diet.

More room to make beer — and bottle it, too.
That's the essence of expansion plans by Priem Family Brewing, which opened in April 2012 and had outgrown its space within two months.
Owner Josh Pfriem has announced plans to expand the kitchen and install a larger keg cooler as well as a larger "warming room" for fermenting bottled beer.
The Port of Hood River last week approved a revised lease for the brewery, in the Halyard Building.
Pfriem will add 4,000 square feet of space, enabling it to double its volume from 3,000 barrels annually to 6,000.
Pfriem will also start bottling its beer in the new space, which will feature a sour-beer kegging area in the front window facing Portway Avenue.
Construction should start within a month, and Pfriem hopes to complete the work sometime this summer. It marks the first expansion for a business that started just six months ago.
"It's exciting," Pfriem said of the pending expansion.
"We'll get to the point where we have everything in play that we really want to do; the full vision for the place with our bottling and our sour beers and a really cool place outside, and an optimal food experience," he said.
Pfriem ales are widely available in the Hood River area and Portland, and Pfriem is about to expand to numerous outlets in Washington and British Columbia.
"That was a market that we just had not expected, but we're getting calls from all over," Pfriem said.
Keeping up with demand has been a challenge for Pfriem, who recently hired Dan Peterson as head brewer and Dave McGinley as assistant brewer. Thomas Levinski is chef and Stephanie Antoinette manages the tasting room.
Last month Pfriem added two gleaming fermenting tanks, and the expansion will allow for two more to be installed, giving the purveyor of Belgian-style ales, IPAs and other varieties the capacity to make twice as much beer as they do now.
"This allows us to utilize space better and expand the kitchen," Pfriem said. "The tasting room has been more successful than we thought it would be, so this will allow us to do more in-house, cooking from scratch, and work with local farmers."
The expansion will not affect the tasting room, other than installation of an outdoor beer garden on the east side of the building, which is pending city approval but, Pfriem said, is likely to be in place this summer.
However, overall indoor seating will expand when the upstairs event room is completed this spring.

Four Decor Rules We Love To Break
Sure, it's smart to stick to the basics like scale and color theory when it comes to good design, but sometimes we forget that the #1 design rule is also the simplest: happiness rules! Bending the rules for the sake of a smile is always a good design decision. HomeGoods is all about bringing home the happy, and the newest items in stores this spring are certainly helping us think outside the box to turn our spaces into happier places.
HomeGoods prices make it easy to experiment and have fun challenging conventions. Below is a list of rules you've probably been following for ages—and how to break them for happy results.
Rule #1: White walls make a space feel bigger.
Working with a small space? Don't be afraid of color. White walls can make a space feel bigger since they reflect more light, but the same effect can be achieved with proper lighting and reflective accents. If you're going with a darker hue, simply plan to invest in a mirror or two and adjust window treatments or light fixtures to let in more light. And don't forget your fifth wall; painting your ceiling white or light will quash any feeling of being boxed-in.
Rule #2: Hang mirrors at eye level.
Mirrors aren't just for gazing—when it comes to placing mirrors in a living or dining space, think light, not height. Place mirrors based on where you'd like to reflect light and create a feeling of space and depth. A cluster of decorative mirrors opposite a window will maximize natural light and illuminates your space from a new angle.
Rule #3: Too many patterns make a space too busy.
Patterns are like color, some work well together and others just don't. But that doesn't mean you can't get away with polka dots and leopard print in the same space. If two patterns are similar in geometry (like the zebra print chairs paired with a diamond rug in the gallery above) they'll play well off each other and add interest to a room without making it feel disjointed.
Rule #4: Avoid clutter.
Think of clutter as a collection of orphaned, homeless belongings that can be transformed into decorative accents once they find a proper place in your home. Books, small plants, and tchotchkes are perfect candidates for a curio wall. Mount floor bins, deep picture frames, or trays with a wide lip on the wall and arrange your "clutter" there to free up some horizontal space while adding interest to a room.
Already happily breaking the rules at home? Let us know how in the comments! Stop by your local HomeGoods to bring home some happy, and stay in the loop on what's in store on their Pinterest page.

The Painted VeilLarge Print - 1925
From the critics

CommentAdd a Comment
This is a beautiful story about love and betrayal in a marriage. I found the character of Kitty to be fascinating.
I enjoyed this story about how a selfish, childish, young woman who so casually throws away the life of the one person who truly loves her is taught the lesson of life. When her husband finds out how she has betrayed him, his revenge is perfect! During the process of being "punished" the character Kitty finally becomes a real, caring individual who is able to contribute to society. She matures and learns humility and the pleasure of simply caring for someone other than herself.
The novel revolves around a selfish young woman and her relationships. Even tho you should truly shun this woman, you may find yourself endearing yourself to her. Over time she awakens to her own true nature instead of one that she had adopted from her upbringing and associations. The story flows...glides, simplistically by the hand of the writers' talent. An enjoyable read and now one of my favorites. The movie although slow going is very worthwhile to watch also.
A story about the capacity of growth in Humans. Well written with some great characterizations. There is a reason he is considered a great writer. Definitely worth reading.
Very easy to get caught up with the characters, a quick and enjoyable read! I'll give the movie a go without having expectations b/c the book always so much better.
Classical literature of the early 20th century. Our "little" suffering cannot be compared to the real suffering! The tragedy of a broken heart, compared with hunger and cholera? But suffering is suffering. No matter at what level and why. I like the character of Kitty from the beginning, despite the efforts of the author to show that she was a young dumb and selfish and was thinking only in her own pleasures. If she was as empty as Maugham tried to convince reader then it would be impossible for her to become a different person during her stay few months in the area of the epidemic. As for the film adaptation in 2006, from my point of view, not all actors were well chosen.
Maugham has a wonderful ear for dialogue and he also describes and plots out the complicated twistings of human emotions and relationships in a realistic and engaging way. I had seen the 2006 movie a few years ago and then read the book. It's a tragic, beautiful, and redemptive story.
I really loved this book. It is never predictable, and has a great empowering ending. Really good for bookgroup discussion too.
Kitty's affair is found out by her husband who reacts by dragging her away from metropolitan Hong Kong to a Chinese backwater during a cholera epidemic. What she learns there about love and married life will change her forever.
The movie is good but read the book first.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Michelina from Stylish & classy These are very nice & surprisingly light on the earlobes. They are a bit too long for me but I see that I can play around with the length by removing a link or two & can always add them back if need be.

Too little information for any real help here. You want to know how to protect your site? Start reading through sites like securityfocus.com, xatrix.org, and mountainwave.com/ and you will find all sorts of information about the various services that may be offered through your hosting server. These sites should start to let you see the vulnerabilities inherent within those services, and offer the locations for the most relevant patches.
\"I believe that you can reach the point where there is no longer any difference between developing the habit of pretending to believe and developing the habit of believing.\"
hmmm ok...first things first:1. don't name the thread "Web Site Hacking" 2. Don't say i want to hack my website.... ok now that i got that out of the way...Say "For security reasons..i need to find ways to find vulnerablilites in my website, that way i can patch them" What i can say is search around the forums..and look on sites like www.astalavista.com and www.blackcode.com for exploits..and you might want to specify what type of server your site is on.
Edit: i can't type
Different servers have different exploits. A good way to check out the security of your server is to run a wargame, where people must sign up to participate. It also depends on your server's services, just http? Or maybe smtp too?GL
Well You need to be more specific.If you tell me what operating system your site is running on then maybe i can tell you a few things.But as far as your security for your site goes , i would suggest coughing up some old exploits and using them against your site , and if they work , youd better get your sowing equipment because your gonna need to patch a few holes.
-You Are Only As Smart As You Are , But is There Really A Limit to how smart One can be?
"Serenity is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it."
Keep your server fully patched.
Don't run anything else on it
Double check all coding (html, php, cgi, etc)
Then you will be all set...

Sitou Byll-Cataria, Toni Crawford, Wilfredo Gonzalez, Ann Hicks, Joy Korman, Joannie Newton, Patrick Plumlee, Bruce Taylor
Hugh Greene, Wanyonyi Kendrick, Oscar Munoz and Kevin Twomey
Meeting called to order by Trustee Willie Gonzalez at 12:25 p.m.
There were no open comments.
Vice President Stone addressed the committee and presented the proposed revisions to the existing policy "Use of Amplified Sound in University Facilities: Outdoor Areas, Demonstrations and Other Events." This amended policy incorporates a provision which designates quiet areas throughout campus and sets forth guidelines for the use of amplified sound on campus. Vice President Stone stated this policy has been reviewed and approved both by the Faculty Association and Student Government. President Delaney shared that Vice President Gonzalez has started a Town and Gown Community Group that periodically meets to discuss UNF amplified sound events.
There was a motion to approve the Use of Amplified Sound in University Facilities. The motion carried and was unanimously approved.
Vice President Shuman discussed the new student dining facility, which is partially being funded by Chartwells Food Services. To secure the funds from Chartwells, the University has agreed to require a mandatory meal plan for freshmen living on campus. Vice President Shuman reported that the cost of the facility is $9M. Chartwells has agreed to contribute $6M; providing the University requires a mandatory meal plan for freshmen living on campus. This would become effective when the new facility opens in fall 2012 and a renewal contract on the cost of meal plan is renegotiated in 2017. Trustee Byll-Cataria stated that it seems as though the students end up paying for the building.
Trustee Taylor asked for the approximate cost per semester for the meal plan. Vice President Shuman, after inquiry, stated that the cost of 10 meals at cafeteria will be $1,544 plus $300 to use at any of the food venues on campus.
No action required: Discussion item only
Vice President Shuman stated that in reviewing the national research and the data from UNF, there are findings that indicate students who live on campus during their freshman year are more likely to graduate from college. Based on the data, the University of North Florida is considering requiring mandatory on-campus housing for freshman. Tom Serwatka mentioned they are looking at different ways of attaining higher retention rates and it may be that mandatory freshman housing could increase the numbers of UNF students who graduate. He also stated that it creates a more 'traditional" culture. President Delaney mentioned that the data indicate that students bond more with their university through campus organizations by living on campus their freshman year in addition to energizing the campus. He also stated there are several things that would need to be discussed further.
Professor Plumlee asked about the effects on the capacity in the dorms to support the additional student population. It was stated that the University would have space, but this would require some triple occupancy.
Trustee Joy Korman shared that she thought it was a good idea educationally, but she expressed concerned it could have a negative impact on freshman enrollment if housing were mandatory.
Trustee Crawford agreed it was an excellent idea but questioned whether we would lose enrollment to FSCJ. She inquired if there were a way to exempt students that couldn't afford to live on campus and pay mandatory meal plans. President Delaney stated that waivers would be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
Trustee Taylor mentioned that we may lose initially but pickup later.
President Delaney stated he would like to seek further comment from the Board before taking any action. He again stated his belief this will bond the students to the University and also increase student retention and graduation rates.
No action required: Further discussion required.
Trustee Byll-Cataria provided an update on the parking space monitoring project. He stated instead of using an outside consulting group they came up with the idea of making it a student initiative, allowing them a transformation experience. Trustee Byll-Cataria introduced five students who gave a PowerPoint presentation on how it will all work.
Trustee Byll-Cataria also introduced another project called an Event Notification System where students can create a personalized email that they would receive just on the events they want to automatically be aware of. ITS is assisting them in setting this project.
Trustee Gonzalez stated these are two great initiatives.
Vice President Shuman reported that they are currently working on four major projects: Student Wellness Complex, Disability Resource Center expansion, Science and Engineering Building repair, and the new Biology Building.
This item was postponed until the next meeting.
Meeting adjourned at 11:25 a.m.

She is the 9th of 11 children. Both of her parents died while she was young, leaving her an orphan.
Leda entered the nursing program at LDS Hospital that fall and graduated as a registered nurse. She was made a supervisor over the rural county nurses in Carbon, Emery, Grand, San Juan, Duchesne and Uintah counties.
On a trip to San Juan County, she stayed with the county nurse, Dorothy Bayles, who took her to a basketball game and introduced her to a red-head named Darroll Young. Thus began a 5 year courtship, mostly by letter. They were married in the Salt Lake Temple on November 22, 1938.
They worked in Salt Lake City, Browning, MT, White Earth, MN, Keams Canyon, AZ, and Mescalero, NM. After ten years, Darroll changed careers and he and Leda took the family to Monticello, where he joined his brother Clyn, who was building "shuttle buggies" for use in the uranium mines that were sprouting all over the Four Corners area.
Thus, Young's Machine Company was born.
In 1953, Leda returned to nursing at the San Juan Hospital in Monticello. She became the supervisor and served for 3.5 years and was in charge of the nurses in 1961, when the hospital moved into its new building, on the site of the present hospital in Monticello.
She became Dr. Goon's office nurse and surgical nurse, where she remained until retiring in 1975.
Leda and Darroll served twice as ordinance workers at the Manti Temple, years before the Monticello Temple was built three blocks from their home. They also spent 14 years in the Name Extraction program of the LDS Church.
After Darroll died in 2001, Leda went to Gilroy, CA to live with her son, Wayne and Louise Young. She moved to a residential care facility in 2008.
The homes of children, grandchildren and friends show off the afghans, quilts, needlepoint pictures and other handwork that Leda has done over the years. She has 13 grandchildren and 26 great-grandchildren.
She still reads the San Juan Record and keeps in contact with many close friends from Monticello.
Years of service as a nurse, raising her children on Indian reservations, and serving her church and her family are grand tributes to the resilience and determination of an orphaned teen-ager from Midvale, who dug her roots deep into the good earth of San Juan County.

The University of Wisconsin at Eau Claire is being sued over its ban on resident assistants (RAs) leading Bible studies in their dorm rooms — a ban the school suspended one hour after a senior RA filed a federal lawsuit alleging UW had violated his free speech, freedom of association, equal access, religious freedom and due process rights.
The university allegedly warned Lance Steiger that he could face discipline if he continued having Bible studies in his dormitory room. His attorney, Kevin Theriot with the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF), says even though UW-Eau Claire eventually suspended the prohibition, the school has not eliminated the policy barring student assistants from holding Bible studies anywhere in the dorms, including their own rooms.
"At the conference that Lance Steiger [attended], where the chancellor suspended the ban, [UW officials] are still defending the policy, which is a very broad policy that is definitely unconstitutional," Theriot explains. "So that's why it's important, first of all, that we file the lawsuit and, secondly, that we go forward with it."
The complaint filed by ADF on Steiger's behalf alleges that UW-Eau Claire officials have applied the university's policy "so as to allow non-religious speech by RAs and other student employees in their dorms, but prohibit religious speech." The university did not change its position, even after the student contacted the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), which wrote a letter to the school officials explaining his rights.
Greg Lukianoff, FIRE's Director of Legal and Public Advocacy, says UW-Eau Claire "courted this lawsuit" by ignoring the outcry against this "legally and morally wrong" policy — protested not only by FIRE but also by legislators, opinion makers, and the general public. He avers the university's hasty suspension of the ban immediately after the filing of the lawsuit demonstrates that the school never really believed it could defend "this repressive policy" in court.
The UW System, whose Madison campus features a similar ban, responded to FIRE with the belated claim that RAs have always been banned from leading "all" organizations and activities, not just religious ones, within UW-Eau Claire dorms. However, FIRE has pointed out that this claim conflicts with both the RA job description and the fact that the university has praised and supported RAs who led and organized various non-religious activities and programs.
A Charge of Religious Discrimination
Theriot says when UW-Eau Claire responded to the filing of the lawsuit by temporarily suspending its policy, university officials stated that a committee was going to study the matter. But the attorney contends, "It shouldn't take a committee to decide whether to respect the First Amendment rights of students."
The school has argued that RA-led Bible studies may alienate some students or make them feel judged, the plaintiff's attorney notes. However, he says, "The problem with that rationale is, first of all, they don't apply it evenly. They allow some views, but not religious views, to be advocated by RAs."
For instance, Theriot points out, "One RA organized a wing activity, or a dorm activity — the Vagina Monologues, which is obviously very offensive to some people." The university allowed an RA to put on the controversial and sexually explicit play during work hours, he notes, but it balked at letting RAs lead Bible studies on their own time.
"Colleges and universities shouldn't treat Christian students any differently than other students," the ADF lawyer asserts. "Unfortunately, by forcing residential assistants to refrain from exercising their First Amendment rights, the University of Wisconsin at Eau Claire is doing exactly that."
Theriot says he will drop the lawsuit if the university will revoke its policy and agree to no longer discriminate against RAs based on their religious beliefs. Otherwise, the ADF spokesman maintains, the lawsuit on Steiger's behalf will proceed until it is clear that the constitutional rights of UW-Eau Claire's students will be respected.Download file "UW-Eau Claire Faces Lawsuit Over School's RA-Led Bible Study Ban"

A rainbow is more than a beautiful image. It is a reminder of a covenant.
Nothing quite beats starting a day with a rainbow. But that's exactly what local residents and passersby who were outside looking west saw between about 6:45 and 7 a.m. this morning.
Rainbows offer a fleeting beauty, as was this one, but for a few minutes it formed a vibrant full arc across the south central Kansas skies.
It brought to mind an experience that George Van Komen, former president of the Independence, Missouri Mission of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, had in Pratt several years ago.
President Van Komen had come to town to consider whether or not to reinstate the full-time proselytizing missionaries in this area after a long absence. Sometime not long after making his decision to place missionaries in Pratt once again, he witnessed a beautiful rainbow above town. Though he had not been seeking a sign, he accepted this as confirmation of his decision.
Incidentally, the rainbow provides us a reminder that God will not once again destroy the earth by flooding. As Genesis 9:14-15 states, "And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud. And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh."
