Program: Love Is All You Need
In a standard romantic comedy, the manner in which Philip (Pierce Brosnan), a widower/workaholic fruit-and-vegetable mogul, and Ida (Trine Dyrholm), a cancer survivor now weathering her husband's infidelity, first cross paths—trading insults after a fender-bender at the airport—might be construed as a "meet cute." However, Oscar-winning director Susanne Bier (In a Better World) is aspiring to something far more sophisticated here. As these strangers jet off to sunny Sorrento for the wedding of his son and her daughter, they tumble into a charming drama containing all of Bier's exemplary character dynamics and meticulous plot construction.
"Gloriously enjoyable… Bier's film is not an out-and-out romantic comedy so much as a romance with some very funny moments… Just as the postcard-perfect setting has some chipped plaster and faded paint around its edges, so Bier's photogenic characters all have their own sadnesses and vulnerabilities to bear. Anders Thomas Jensen's script, which is just about equal parts English and Danish, is packed with humour that springs from recognisable human foibles, and Brosnan and Dyrholm have fizzingly good chemistry together… Love Is All You Need has been made for an audience rarely catered for by the film industry: intelligent adults who enjoy perceptive and good-hearted drama…"—Robbie Collin, Telegraph

The Cougar football team made it two straight wins to begin the season last Friday night in Cecilia as they defeated the Central Hardin Bruins 21-14 in the opening game of the Swope Nissan/First Citizen's Bank Bowl. Louisville DeSales beat Elizabethtown in the second game 63-14.
After the Bruins had taken a 7-0 lead with five minutes left in the first period, the Cougars scored three unanswered touchdowns, from Dalton Logsdon, Talon Gary and Dustin Crain, to lead 21-7 at the end of the third quarter. The Bruins added another score in the fourth quarter, but the Cougars were never in danger afterward.
The Bruins had the ball first and took it into Cougar territory, but wound up giving up the ball on downs at the Cougar 33. The Cougars moved the ball near midfield before their drive stalled and punted the ball back to the Bruins, who took over at their own 17-yard line.
Central Hardin then moved 83 yards in just six plays to take the lead. Sophomore quarterback Koree Krupinski connected with senior wide receiver Trevor Brown on a 27-yard scoring pass at the 5:31 mark of the first period to make it 7-0.
Senior Braxton Williams took the ensuing kickoff near his own 10 and returned it to good field position at the Cougar 32 to set up the Cougars' first scoring drive. Facing a third-and nine, Williams made a fine, leaping grab of a Gary pass, good for 17 yards and a first down at the 50.
A 14-yard pass from Gary to Dylan Woodcock gave the Cougar another first down at the Bruin 36. Logsdon then carried four straight times, taking the ball to a second-and-three at the five. Crain took the ball to the two before Logsdon carried it in for the score, breaking a tackle at the goal line as he did. Michael Thomas added the extra point and with 58 seconds left in the first period, the game was tied 7-7.
Grayson County took over again with 5:16 left in the second quarter and began a seven-play, 61-yard drive that put them on top to stay. Logsdon carried four times on the drive for 27 yards, and Williams had a 16-yard run before Gary ran through a huge hole to score from the three. Thomas' kick made it 14-7 with 2:53 left in the first half.
The Cougars had the ball to start the third quarter and had a promising drive going before they turned the ball over. They moved from their own 40 down to the Bruin 20, but on a third down play, the Bruins pounced on a Cougar fumble to halt the drive.
Neither team could do much after that until the Cougars took over again in Bruin territory at the 44 with 3:32 left. After Gary was sacked on a third down play, the Cougars faced a fourth-and-nine at the 29-yard line. Following a timeout, Gary connected with Woodcock on a 20-yard gain, giving the Cougars a first-and-goal at the nine.
On the next play, Crain broke through for the score and the Cougar led 21-7 with just 23 seconds left in the quarter.
The Bruins refused to go away, putting together a 62-yard drive on their next possession to make it a seven-point game with 8:35 left to play. The key play in their drive was a 20-yard pass on a third-and-six from Krupinski to running back Chase Hicks that took the ball to the 22. Hicks later ran the ball in for the touchdown.
Neither team could move after that, but the Cougars got the better of the field position and were able to keep the Bruins bottled up in their own end. On the Bruins' final possession, they were forced to punt from their own 13-yard line. Grayson County then ran out the clock to preserve the win.
The Cougars will next face arch rival Edmonson County this Friday in Brownsville. Game time for the Battle for the Tobacco Stick is set to begin at 7 p.m.

Chump....i.e. stupid person.....your cute pornoghraphic posting tells me and everyone on this forum that you're suffering from lack of intelligence
"CUTE"!?? Excuse me?
Ok, the not so damn cute pornoghraphic posting!......ref. made to small time operator with the "BOOB" posting.....don;t know what you meant otherwise.
It's ok, Pierre. "...the not so damn cute..." suits it better, I think.
OK, let me explain how spammers work. They post things to get folks to click on them where hidden/invisible URL's may get email addresses and other cookies from their web browsers.
They don't come back and read your replies.
They certainly don't come back and check all the other threads to see what people are saying about them.
Making replies, or creating other posts about spam just impacts **us** -- the other folks on this forum.
Here is what some of us have decided to do about the spammers -- you can participate if you wish.
When someone posts spam, we use the little red triangle icon to report it as spam to the moderator Scot, and post ONE REPLY saying we have done so.
Everyone else is asked to just read it if they must and not reply -- that way not a bunch of folks get lured into looking at what they don't want to see, and we don't do the spammer's work for 'em.
Nobody is required to do this, but it can make the Forum a better place and helps get rid of the spam postings ASAP.

Cooling your home can account for as much as 50 percent of your utility bills. Do Your Part to beat the heat and keep costs under control by conserving energy during hot summer months.
First, make your thermostat work for you. Set it a few degrees higher when no one is home. Or, install a programmable thermostat and program it so it can do the work for you.
A ceiling fan can make a room feel as much a seven degrees cooler. If you raise your thermostat by two degrees and use a ceiling fan, you can lower cooling costs by up to 14 percent. Ceiling fan blades should spin counter-clockwise during the hotter months.
Closing the blinds and curtains on the windows receiving the most sun can reduce the heat coming into your home by as much as 40 percent. This also works on porches that bake in the late day sun.
Your kitchen is another big source of heat. Avoid running your appliances during the day. Instead, run your dishwasher at night and only when it is fully loaded. Instead of heating up the oven, consider grilling out or using the microwave for side dishes.
And planting a tree near the southwest corner of your home will reduce cooling costs. A deciduous tree that will shade your home in the summer and shed its leaves in the fall to allow in warm winter sunlight.

The shops in Malaga open between 9:00 and 10:00; they close for lunch at 13:00 or 14:00, and open in the afternoon at 16:00 or 17:00 until 20:00 or 21:30. Large shopping centres and department stores, however, do not generally close at lunchtime. Some shops and all the shopping centres and department stores open on Saturday afternoon, whilst all shops are closed on Sundays, except for certain special periods throughout the year when the shops have permission to open.
Most of the banks open at 8:00 or 8:30 and close at 14:00 or 14:30. However, there is an extensive network of cash dispensers where you can draw out cash it you need to
In Malaga, as in the rest of Spain, meals are usually eaten later than in some other European countries. Breakfast is normally between 9:00 and 11:00.
Lunch is usually eaten between 14:00 and 15:00 and dinner, between 21:00 and 22:00. However, mealtimes in restaurants are adjusted to the working day and the lifestyle of our visitors, and therefore one can lunch from 13:00 until about 15:00, whilst dinner is usually served from 21:00 until about 23:30.
Every day most of the cinemas offer showings from 12:00 onwards until about 00:30.
Theatres and shows usually begin at between 20:00 and 21:00, apart from morning shows, normally on holidays and Sundays, for the little ones.
Bars where music is played (called "Pubs" in Spanish) and Piano Bars generally open from 21:00 until around 03:00 in the morning, and the discotheques usually open at 23:30 and close at about 04:30 in the morning.

Dog Food Momentum
posted 2 years ago
Momentum has been formulated to help facilitate the stamina, endurance and performance of canines; the food contains highly digestible low ash proteins, fats and carbohydrates to allow your athletic dog to reach their full potential. In addition, supplements are included to decrease the stresses that dogs' bodies undergo in highly competitive situations that may produce stress diarrhea. These supplements include prebiotics, externally applied probiotics and multiple fiber sources such as rice, psyllium, beet pulp, oatmeal and chicory root. Momentum also contains chelated minerals, kelp, selenium, natural antioxidants and L-carnitine. To minimize allergic reactions, corn and soy products are not used in Momentum.
Careful attention to the amount fed is vital with Momentum; you will feed less kibble than what you are accustomed to offering.
Momentum Premium Athletic Dog Food has been formulated through the combined efforts of a Ph.D. canine nutritionist and a veterinarian experienced in athletic and competitive dog sports.
Pros: Excellent Athletic Low Carb Dog Food
Cons: Unsure

Commentary: T.O. Exactly What Bills Need
By: John Kucko
Updated: September 6, 2009
That's exactly what the Bills needed, an infusion of excitement into their franchise. T.O. creates a buzz, gets people talking, gets even the casual to non-fan engaged.
Case in point, I was at a popular restaurant Saturday evening when all of this news shockingly went down. I was on the phone with the guys in the sports department, checking coverage plans, trying to confirm what we had been hearing. A couple of people standing near me overheard the conversation, and it spread throughout the restaurant like wildfire. That's what T.O. brings, he brings a buzz, a charge to the atmosphere.
Is he divisive? Absolutely. Is he selfish? You bet. But he is also massive star power. For a team that is desperate to sell tickets and keep their brand viable in Western New York, the move is a stroke of genius by Russ Brandon and Ralph Wilson.
Before this, the Bills were as irrelevant as any team in the NFL, no real star power, no one who fans could relate to. That has all changed. In the opening day of free agency, the Bills saw their AFC East counterparts run circles around them when it came to signing players.
Buffalo needed to make a big splash and they did just that.
Ralph Wilson is 90, Dick Jauron is coaching for his life, the Bills are desperate and needed to make a major move, a last ditch effort to make a run for Super Bowl XLIV in Miami. This was that move.
In the recession we are living in now, the Bills were going to feel the effects of a down economy, probably more than any other team. Not anymore. Merchandise will be flowing, tickets will sell and training camp will be fun again.
We in the media have often joked the Bills have been the least quotable team since the Kelly days - and even then, the guys were not that great. T.O. delivers on all fronts, good and bad.
This is the best thing the Bills could have done. It gets fans anxious in early March and has us all counting down the day until Camp at Fisher.

What is USA Dance?
USA Dance, formerly known as the United States Amateur Ballroom Dancers Association (USABDA), is a nation-wide non-profit organization supporting and promoting amateur, social and competitive Ballroom Dancing. USA Dance functions as the governing body in the US for amateur competition ballroom dancing (aka DanceSport).
For more information, visit www.USADANCE.org.
Join us and enjoy the many benefits of new and renewed membership to our chapter.
History of the Greater Daytona Chapter
In the beginning . . .
Prior to forming a USABDA chapter (now USA Dance, Inc.) in the greater Daytona area,
some local dancers got together and formed the Daytona Ballroom Dance Association in 1991. They were Jean Krupa, Bruce Remsburg, Carolyn (Sparr) Timmins, Richard Young, Dorice Soroka, Flo and Patty Tugas, Robert and Joslyn Wilson. The dances were held at Sica Hall in Holly Hill.
The Greater Daytona Chapter of USABDA was formed and became a certified chapter on September 18, 1993. The first chapter president was Seymour Weiner, a retired physician.
Carolyn (Sparr) Timmins was Vice President; Carol Thornton was secretary; and sister Ann Duffy
was treasurer. Shortly after the formation of the USABDA chapter, the Daytona Ballroom Dance Association was discontinued, since each organization was composed of the same members.
In early 1998, the Greater Daytona Chapter started holding two dances per month. One
at Sica Hall and the other at City Island Recreation Center. Since that time, we have been
hosting two dances per month at City Island, until April 2012 when, due to our growth, we re-located our dances to Silver Sands Middle School. Bruce Remsburg has been our DJ throughout
our chapter's history.
After moving to City Island in 1998, it is interesting to note, that admission rates for members were raised by one dollar and have remained the same since. However, effective January 1, 2011, non-member admission to our dances increased to $10 per person. Member rate remains $6 making the cost of membership, $25 for 12 months for a social dancer a real bargain. :)
Membership and attendance at the dances have grown substantially. We now boast approximately 300 members making us one of the largest chapters in Florida, and one of the fastest growing chapters of the approximately 180 chapters in the nation.

I love periwinkle, but it's not always easy to find. But I'm really drawn to turquoise, aqua, and lime green! I just did post on my cardigan obsession and realized I have at least 5 cardies (not counting other sweaters) in those colors.
Your dress is gorgeous! So are your flowers and I must confess.....I'm drooling over that cute table with the blue trim. Can I come live at your house? I think I might like it there. LOL - April 12, 2012 at 3:40 PM

Wait! I didn't ask! Where did you find that cool lime green/chartreuse planter???? It makes my heart smile.

Ooh beautiful Molly ! You will look so fabulous in this outfit...
My favorite, you know it; blue in all its shades. From teal, almost mint, up do deep dark navy blue. I love them All.
And no, there is nothing better to have in your home than the fresh blooming hyacinths and their fantastic smell.
So exciting all the events coming up for your family! Enjoy it all.

Is there anything as fresh as white & blue? All I like to dress my boys in is blue or white. Everyone knows I won't put it on them if it's not blue :)
You totally win for cleanest house ever! What I am sitting here for! I should be freshening up my own home! But it is much easier just to enjoy yours! - April 14, 2012 at 2:23 PM
- fee @ chipper nelly said...
pink for me, every time. Think it's a backlash against the boyness in my life!
And, I know this is controversial, but I HATE the smell of hydrangeas! I always say it smells of 'grannys knickers'. That's a generic granny you understand - I have no idea what my actual granny's knickers smelt like.
Gonna stop here before this gets any worse.....fee x - April 15, 2012 at 10:05 AM

love the dress and cardigan you picked for yourself, you will look darling in it! isn't it always the way it goes...we are the last to buy something new for ourselves to wear, but the kids are all set to go!

I love the colour blue, the optimistic way you tell stories in your blog, the little house in your garden and so much more.
Have a nice weekend :-) - April 21, 2012 at 12:54 PM

Maybe you shouldn't worry so much about your career and future and holy-crap-what-am-I-doing-with-my-life and the student loan debt you're racking up, and just follow your interests. Despite how old you feel, maybe 19 is young. Maybe you do have time. Maybe you really aren't the only one. Maybe it isn't a crisis. Maybe you should grab opportunities as they come, do things, figure out what you like and don't like, and take it slowly. Maybe you can get some sleep.
Just a suggestion. :)

A couple of months ago, I was looking through some tall bearded iris pictures on the internet and one in particular really caught my eye. It was a rich chocolate brown color with an almost satin sheen to it. I have no idea what the name was, I think it might have had chocolate or coffee in the title. Does it sound familiar to anyone? If not, does anyone have suggestions for some beautiful brown/rust toned TB irises to add to my garden this spring? --- Mariah |

I would really like a brown iris as well. You know, not orange but real brown like a brown pair of shoes. No one has managed to breed one that is brown enough for me. |
They are not sold very often because apparently brown shades are not that desirable and don't sell well but the rich brown one I saw was beautiful! It was a true solid chocolate brown, I should have saved the website... |
- Posted by mccommas z5CT (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, Jan 28, 13 at 20:10
If you find it again, post it here. I will do the same. |
This is a yummy iris in tones of russet, etc. Many pics online are inaccurate in color. This one is accurate. |
What a lovely iris! I'm such a big fan of the russet color, thanks so much for the suggestion. I'll see if I can find any sellers of it this year! I actually came across a decently brown iris, I'm not sure if this is the one I mentioned above but it sure comes close! It seems like a true rich chocolate brown from most photos. I think I might try to purchase it... It's called Chocolate Ecstasy |

That's quite brown indeed. Changing Seasons and Coffee Whispers are golden brown. Huckleberry Fudge is brown. And I think there are some Aril irises that are really truly brown. |
- Posted by mccommas z5CT (email@example.com) on Wed, Jan 30, 13 at 21:07
Ruffled Copper Sunset is a very beautiful iris but that is not brown. |
Huckleberry Fudge is nice shade of brown! I think that's another one I might look into getting. :) |

Some alternatives to the "clinking glasses"
#1 Sing part of a Song with the word "LOVE" in it....
Moving the wedding, again. :'(
So we are officially moving our wedding date...again. We've decided its best that I finish my last year of school before we get married and pay off more of our school debt, especially since he STILL doesnt have a decent paying job yet. We'll be in a better position all around, it all makes sense logically. However, it doesnt stop my heart from hurting like it is. We are going to lose about $1000 dollars in deposits (which we really cant afford to lose, I'm hoping our photographer will at least let us keep our deposit but I really dont know) and we are going to have to continue long distance for another year and ten months. That is the hardest part - the long distance. It breaks my heart every month when I'm having a bad day and he cant be here to just give me a hug, or when we can't coordinate even two days a month to make a trip to see eachother (we both work jobs that require weekends).
Anyway, we're thinking May 21, 2011. 1 year 9 months and 22 days away, and a 3.5 year (mostly long distance) engagement. The entire process has been such a struggle with my family, money, and long distance I'm not even sure I'll even want a wedding by the time it gets here. I'm just tired of getting excited just to be let down, I feel like I'm on a constant roller coaster. I certainely am bordering on not caring right now. I know it'll come eventually and that its for the best in the long run, my heart is just hurting like crazy now. |
Wedding Dress
Went wedding dress shopping today! I have been waiting to do this for a year and a half and although we may be pushing the wedding back (completley heartbreaking but I think I might want to finish school first and my fiance still doesnt have a job in his field, although a promising interview) so its not time to BUY yet but it had been scheduled for a month so we went anyway.
It was alot of fun, I expected to cry but I didnt and neither did my mother. I tried the first dress on and nothing really compared to it after that. Its really simple but I liked it the best, and it was not at all what I was expecting to like. I also tried it on with a long and a short veil. I think I like the long veil better, possibly a BIT shorter. I think I might also want to shorten the train. It was a great day! |
Ask a Question
When did you start buying wedding stuff?
I've always held off on actually buying wedding stuff since we were so far off until the wedding, but now that we are under a year, I'm wondering when I should buying all the 'stuff'. I've had my eye on a cardbox for a while, but is it too early to buy?
When did you ladies start buying all the 'stuff' for your wedding? When did you start doing DIY projects? |
Ask a Question
Color Palette to go with Black Bridesmaid Dresses?
So I've been trying to make a purple theme work for a while, but it just seems there's too many shades of it and its stressing me out! lol.
I've decided to go with a simpler palette, especially because I know have 7 bridesmaids in different parts of the province. I am thinking tea length black bridesmaids dresses, or slate blue. The wedding is in June, and our reception hall has green chairs and trees everywhere, while the church has red carpet. I think black bridesmaids dresses will be nice and simple, but I dont want them to be too dark or formal for a spring wedding. I'm also not sure what color to pair with it thatll go with the green in the reception hall and the red in the church. Any ideas ladies? What could I pair with a black bridesmaids dress to form a lighter, spring like palette? Thanks ladies! |
Ask a Question
Too many bridesmaids? How many are you having?
Ugh....So, I had picked my bridesmaids (below). My best friend since elementary school, and then my other best friend, my sister and two sister in laws to be. Then there are two girls from college that I was really close with (like, attached at the hip lol) that I've always wanted to include, but thought it would be too much. I also thought that it would be difficult to coordinate everyone living in 3 different places (them in Toronto with school, sister in laws in Niagara, and everyone else here). I also didnt know if we would fall apart after a year and a half of not seeing eachother, AND then I would have 7 bridesmaids. Thats alot I think, even with out guestlist of hopefully around 150-160.
What do you think? What would you ladies do? How many bridesmaids are you having? Thanks! Update: futuremrsweikle had good advice. Its not right to leave out the girls I love. 7 bridesmaids it is, o well : ) |
I am getting married one year from today!!!
So any of the brides that have been on here for a while - alot that have already married, and some that are marrying soon, know that I have been on here foreeeeever (under a different account, but still). We have been engaged for 1.5 years now, and I've come a loooong way with wedding planning, with parents acceptance, and with a career choice. We are finally in a good place, finally feel like life is moving forward, and finally under a year!!!! All day my heart has been jumping out of my chest, I'm giddy! lol. I know its still a year away but its finally a decent countdown! I remember it being in the high 700's, and now we are exactly a year away!
:D (I was giddy all day. They must have thought I was crazy at work, lol). |
Ask a Question
Whats your timeline? Pictures after the wedding?
So this is my timeline:
8am: Possibly setting up the reception (ugh) 10 am: Hair appointments with the girls/Get dressed, etc. 2 - 3 pm: Ceremony 3-6 pm: Pictures 6pm: Reception We really dont want to do pictures before the ceremony, and if we have to set up the reception beforehand, we really wont have time. I am wondering if 3 hours for pictures is too long and too long to makek the out of town guests wait? The place we are having the reception at is this huge 'entertainment' place - it has goofy golf, a petting zoo, a gift shop, plant area, arcade, etc (not in the hall area lol), we they could go there and be entertained for a while, I just dont want make them wait too long. Whats your timeline? Is 3 hours too long to make the guests wait? |
Ask a Question
Worried about a 'boring wedding'?
As I am looking at our general guest list tonight, I am realizing...its mostly family. Like, entirely family with the exception of the bridal party (which is half family). This sounds lame, but I just moved home from college and was super busy there and kind of lost touch with my college friends, and I've only really kept in touch with 2 of my high school friends back home..so I dont have that many friends to invite anyway and N is in the same situation.
But now I'm worrying - is the wedding even going to be any fun? Will people actually dance? I'm so shy and wont dance on my own (it takes alot to get me dancing), and my two friends who are bridesmaids are even less likely to dance than I am, and so the rest are middle age/older family. Is anyone elses guest list comprised of mostly family? Are you worried about it really being a party? (I just realized this probably has alot to do with my age - me being alot younger than alot of my family, I am the oldest grandchild so I am the youngest 'adult' by far, but still). |
tired of planning.
I'm so sick of planning - I don't even know if I want a wedding anymore. We've been engaged for 1.5 years now, and I LOVED planning before, but now that its actually TIME to plan and make decisions and buy things, I don't even want to anymore.
I think a large part of it is the fact that we have alot of school debt that could be payed off instead, and although we aren't going into more debt for the wedding, the money we are spending could be put to better use. Also, my PARENTS are going into more debt to pay for the meal for this wedding and I dont like that either - I would be so much more comfortable just having a luncheon or something where they didnt have to spend $6-7000 dollars on one night. I would be so happy to just have a simple ceremony and luncheon (because cutting the guest list any more isnt really an option, most of it is essential family and we are at about 140, so a cheaper lunch or similiar meal is the other option). Just really feeling no interest in any of it. |
Wedding Dress
Having it made?
We had a family bbq today, and my aunt mentioned to me that she is giving me $100 dollars towards my wedding dress for babysitting her daughter for a week while she was away. Pretty awesome, since that department is pretty tight budget wise and I dont really want to skimp, but I do have to fit into budget.
Also, my friends mother mentioned making my wedding dress for me tonight. The idea of making an entire wedding dress is crazy to me, since I can't sew to save my life, but now I'm thinking it might just be cool...I could get it tailored to me without paying humongous alterations fees because I'm so short, and it would probably be cheaper to make in the end altogether. I just have to look at patterns and fabric prices and such. Now where am I going to find such patterns? ***I love the dress in the second picture. Its perfect, I just want to add a TINY bit of lace. Maybe a lace sash or something (get rid of the belt type thing she has), would that be wierd? Looks easy enough to make... Thats all :) |

Tulsa company switches planned disposal well to Kansas
Tulsa-based CAVU Energy Services Inc. is dropping its bid to establish a commercial wastewater disposal well in Garvin County after finding an alternate site in southern Kansas.
People in Garvin County are calling it a victory, as Tulsa-based CAVU Energy Services Inc. announced Tuesday it would withdraw its application for a wastewater disposal well near Paul Valley.
The proposed well drew opposition from hundreds of Garvin County residents who were convinced it would cause an ecological disaster.
More than 1,300 people signed a petition opposing CAVU's application, which was being considered by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission.
CAVU said Tuesday it has acquired a new disposal well location in southern Kansas, home of the prolific Mississippian oil play.
"The economic and logistical advantages to this new location eliminate the need for the commercial disposal well in Garvin County," the company said in a news release.
Wynnewood resident Joe Menefee said he was glad to hear the company was moving on from its contentious plans for Garvin County, where his family has owned land since 1903.
"They had no business coming here in the first place," he said. "I'm extremely relieved and glad it's over."
Menefee said CAVU's proposed disposal well was close to four homes east of Pauls Valley. The operation would have ruined their property values, while wreaking havoc on nearby roads, he said.
Road upgrade would be costly
Garvin County Commissioner John Mann estimated it would cost about $1.3 million to upgrade county roads to accommodate truck traffic that would come with a commercial disposal operation.

Adherence to anti-osteoporotic regimens in a Southern Taiwanese population treated according to guidelines: a hospital-based study
International Journal of Rheumatic Diseases, 04/27/2012
Yu SF et al. – Overall adherence to anti–osteoporotic regimens based on guidelines was sub–optimal in the current study. The results are in line with previous studies using a claims database. Non–adherence commonly occurs early after drug initiation, which indicates that efforts should be made to improve adherence as soon as possible.

I agree. For the vast majority of people there shouldn't be property taxes. If money is a problem for people, one of the ways to put money into the hands of ordinary people is to let them keep it by not taking it in the form of property taxes. Governments love to steal money from you and claim to be doing you a favor by offering you "services" in return. Why not just let you keep it?What a shame. A perfectly good thread thoroughly polluted by crackpot geosocialist religious tenets.
A more legitimate discussion, rather than the jerk off debate about "LV" theory, is how do you fund "services" that governments purportedly offer like schools, police, fire, roads, etc.
Here's how I would do it.
1. Fire department, either volunteer or an extension of insurance or both.
2. Police department. Volunteer definitely. Society would do so much better with volunteer police departments. The minimal amount of money needed to fund courts and jails could come from other sources like excise and use taxes.
3. Roads - gas tax.
4. Schools - sorry, the minute the internet came into being, the need for public education dropped down to zero. The cost for education should be about $100 per student per year, not $10,000 per year like it is in California where unions are screaming bloody murder about cost cuts.

Activation time
Activation time is the length of time it takes a skill to be executed after a character has selected it. In Guild Wars, the term is synonymous with casting time and is denoted in-game as .
A skill's activation time begins as soon as a character selects that skill; if the period elapses successfully, the skill is executed. The activation time is halted and the skill fails if it is interrupted or canceled. This wait time is a key vulnerability of every skill: the longer the activation time, the more opportunities opponents have to prevent the skill from operating successfully.
Like many things in the game, activation is handled by the game's servers rather than the player's computer, making skill use subject to lag. Often players will not notice any resultant latency, since it is typically less than 400 milliseconds.
After the activation time of a skill, there may also be a short aftercast delay.
Contents |
[edit] Attack skills
Attack skills follow two different timing rules, depending on whether or not the skill explicitly states an activation time. For skills with unstated amounts, the skill will use the first half of the character's next attack interval (the remaining half will be the time it takes the character to return to the neutral state). For example, an axe-wielding character will take half of 1.33 seconds to activate Body Blow; it will take them half of 1.75 seconds to activate the same skill while swinging a hammer.
Skills with an explicit activation time work similarly: half-way through the interval, a melee attack will connect with its target and a ranged attack will launch its projectile; the remaining half will be used to return the character to a neutral state. For example, a Savage Shot is fired after ¼ seconds after it is initiated (half the stated ½ second ) and Yeti Smash will connect after ½ seconds, rather than the stated 1 second. These skills also bypass the return-to-neutral delay from the previous attack (assuming it did not have an aftercast delay).
[edit] Other attack skill mechanics
- Activation times for all attack skills are affected by any effect that alters attack speeds. For example:
- Using Protector's Strike while in a Frenzy reduces the attack interval to ⅓ second and the attack connects after ~0.166 second after activation.
- Devastating Hammer while hexed with Faintheartedness connects after 1.3 seconds (with a full interval of about 2.6 seconds).
- Pet attacks function more like shouts that affect the pet's next attack.
- Effects and skills (such as Migraine) that affect the activation time of any skill, does not affect the activation time of attack skills.
[edit] Other skill types
All other skills use their stated activation time (after modifications) unless otherwise noted below.
[edit] Spells and signets
- Spells and Signets use the stated activation time. Spell casting time can be modified by half casting time weapon upgrades, Fast Casting, and skills or effects that explicitly reduce it (e.g. Healer's Boon). Signets are also affected by Fast Casting and a different set of skills or effects. In addition, all signets and nearly all spells suffer from aftercast delay.
- Flash enchantment spells have no activation time or aftercast delay, but cannot be activated while activating other skills or while knocked down.
- Dolyak Signet and Signet of Suffering activate instantly, but cannot be activated in mid-action or while knocked down. Although they do not have stated activation time, they work within the skill queue; they will overwrite any previously queued actions, including movement.
- Asuran Scan is the only hex without a specified activation time. It casts instantly, but it has an aftercast delay and cannot be used in mid-action.
- Skills under the effects of Glyph of Sacrifice or Glyph of Essence cast instantly, but still suffer aftercast delay and are subject to queuing.
[edit] Preparations
Preparations use their stated activation times after any modifiers. However, preparations from Factions and Nightfall also suffer aftercast delay (those from Prophecies or Core do not).
[edit] Traps
Trapper's Speed is the only skill that specifically modifies trap activation time.
[edit] Other skills
- Shouts, Pet attacks, and Stances activate immediately, outside the queue; they can be activated in the middle of other actions or while knocked down.
- Some skills have no stated activation time, but suffer aftercast delay, notably: Celestial Stance, Scavenger's Focus, Angelic Protection, and Air of Superiority.
- Some skills without a listed activation time cannot be activated in mid-action, even though they do not have an aftercast delay: Protector's Defense, Feral Aggression, Inspirational Speech.
[edit] Notes
- The decrease in activation time for attack skills under an IAS is useful in landing interrupts on your foe's faster-activating skills.
- Ranger skills with activation times have an aftercast delay to hinder damage compression.
- Any skill with an explicit activation time can be used to bypass the second half of a previous attack interval (after that attack has hit). For example, a Warrior using Executioner's Strike after Eviscerate at normal speed will land Exectioner's Strike 1.33 seconds after Eviscerate, while a Warrior using Agonizing Chop instead of Executioner's will land it ½ second after Eviscerate, which is almost three times as fast. This is also what makes certain dagger spamming builds effective.
[edit] Effects that modify activation time
Skills and effects can influence non-attack skill activation times; times are capped at 75% and 150% of the original amount.
- The Mesmer's Fast Casting primary attribute reduces the activation time of spells and signets and is not affected by the cap.
- Dazed increases casting time.
[edit] Skills that reduce activation time
- Healer's Boon (elite) affects Healing Prayers spells
- Holy Haste affects Healing Prayers spells
- Jaundiced Gaze affects the next enchantment if an enchantment is removed from target foe
- Celestial Haste affects spells, PvE only
- Stolen Speed (elite) affects spells targeting target foe cast by you (and allies in PvE)
- Glyph of Essence next spell activates instantly, you lose all energy
- Glyph of Sacrifice next spell activates instantly, increases recharge time
- Iron Mist Air Magic spells that target a foe
- Deadly Haste affects half-ranged spells
- Deadly Paradox affects Assassin skills
- "Help Me!" affects spells targeting you cast by allies
- Natural Healing half casting time if you are not enchanted
- Signet of Mystic Speed next self-targeting enchantments cast instantly
- "There's not enough time!!" affects all skills
- Mindbender affects spells, PvE only
[edit] Skills that increase activation time
- Nature's Renewal affects hexes and enchantments
- Arcane Conundrum affects spells, also hexes foes adjacent to target
- Confusing Images affects non-attack skills
- Enchanter's Conundrum affects enchantments
- Frustration affects spells
- Migraine affects all skills
- Shared Burden affects movement, spells and attacks

- Holy Veil affects hexes cast on target ally
- Rust affects signets, also hexes foes adjacent to target

If you've read my previous post on why administrative rights over your computer are a bad thing and you are motivated to do something about it, you might ask "just how do I go about dropping these rights to make my system more stable and less prone to malware?" (more…)
Posts Tagged 'privileges'So, How Do I Drop Those Administrative Rights, Anyway?Friday, May 22nd, 2009Why You Do NOT Want Administrative Rights on Your ComputerThursday, May 14th, 2009This is almost always a hot button with some users. One of the absolutely most effective ways to shield yourself from viruses and spyware is to not log on to your computer as an administrator. As soon as I say this, I usually encounter some resistance, because users think that giving up admin rights equates to giving up power. In a way, you are, but for decades I've likened full admin rights on a computer to walking around with a loaded gun that might go off at any minute, and pointing it at people (including yourself). I have seen plenty of damage done by users who thought they needed (or just wanted) administrative rights over machines, and in truth, they did not. (more…) |
