The home office/guest room/storage room.
For me it's a space that has been sorely neglected since moving to the shack. I haven't found the time, inclination or finances to tweak the room into something more inhabitable than a hairball collecting store room.
I haven't painted the walls, the window furnishings are IKEA roller blinds that I thought I could DIY with a hacksaw and fabric…this is pre Pinterest mind you! What was I thinking? There is no storage except for a clothes rack and cupboard circa pre historic times and miss matched furniture.
This is what the room looked like on day one.
Nice hard wood floors, plenty of light, except in this photo of course…and a decent size. Please don't ask the dimensions…I have measured it oh, you know, about 10 times but cannot remember them. Yea DIY is totally my thang...
Otherwise a beige cave.
What spurred me to get off my butt?
Wahoo, happy dance, cheesy grin, the planets have aligned…
For me anyway, they probably align all the time, who knows…
Why the excitement?
Mmm, well I may have been looking for said table for around two years, finally caved in and ordered one from my local furniture store….and luck would have it, found one for sale for an awesome price. Despite the awkward "don't want it, found a nice/cheaper one" call to the furniture store, I'm feeling pretty pleased.
Anyhoo, the old door turned dining table had to go to a better place. Due to having NO room anywhere else in the shack, it was manhandled into the spare room (thanks Mum, your always there when the heavy/awkward stuff needs moving! Remember the side board...fun times! ).
The same day, I spotted a coral rug in the $2 store…for $39.95…go figure…
There is a grey futon in the room already, more on that to come…I know, your thinking futon = functional aka ugly...this one is cute...promise!
Grey and coral, it was meant to be. OK so the table is slightly more pink and the tub chair is taupe…but work with me here.
I had two left over coral prints from the bathroom makeover that matched the rug perfectly. Yes they look slightly crooked in the picture…because they are!
The desk was quickly filled with 'stuff'…and surprise, surprise, none of it office stuff…except for the b*(&&^y wireless printer that is resting on a plastic tub under the desk.
The Texaco sign is a treasure from The Shed, it's rusty and chipped but I love it. The stencils, also The Shed…rest assured I havn't even made a dint on the contents of that yet!
The timber bedside table is from my gran, Happy 91st birthday for tomorrow!!! xxoo I love it's shape and cannot bring myself to sand or paint it.
The straw basket is from my Great Aunties (grans sister) o/s travels, the leather latch is broken and it totally is not hiding the electrical cord but the greens and teals look great with the coral. I also splurged and bought a coral tea light holder from Target which will never see a candle in it's life but just helps tie it all in.
Keepin it real!Now I know there is a word between borrowed and stolen…
The tub chair was "lifted from it's original position in my work place where it totally was not been used and moved into my car boot and brought home"…is how I would describe it.
I get caught out every time I see the back of it…I should paint it…I will paint it!
I still need to paint, hang curtains, hang more art and organise some DIY built in storage.
- Did you know you can share your Pic Monkey creations straight from the site? Not useful if you want your shares to reflect back to your blog but still...
- I would love more FB and Pinterst followers...it's OK to be a follower...and I love finding new blogs/creative people
- I just don't get Halloween, if anyone can explain it to me in 50 words or less, please feel free :)

Today was sort of a strange day. We were all feeling a little under the weather, so we spent most of the day just laying around. While Sienna was at school this morning, the Ogre pointed out to me that Charlotte had fallen asleep on the couch. She looked so small and alone laying there, leaning her head against the arm of the big couch that I found myself scooping her up and snuggling down into the couch cushions with her curled up against my side. She slept through the transition and I lay on the couch, with the cool breeze from the open window sweeping across us and watched the dust motes float through the sunbeams. I fell asleep quickly and awoke empty-armed to the Ogre telling me that I had slept for an hour. Charlotte was happily playing in the background, refreshed by her impromptu nap. I, however, felt like a truck had hit me, so a few hours later while the girls ate lunch I grabbed the sleepy, cranky baby and repeated my performance from the morning. The breeze was a little warmer, the sun a little brighter and the companion significantly less sweaty, but it was still a pleasant little catnap, punctuated by sweet peanut buttery kisses from adoring sisters.
After lunch the Ogre laid down for a nap, hoping to get rid of a headache brought on by sleeplessness last night, and while Liam slumbered away in his swing I tried to put the girls down for a nap. Although Sienna was asleep in seconds Charlotte refused, probably due to her morning nap, so I took her to our bed and nestled her in between the Ogre and I and sang her a few whispered lullabies. She rolled over after a few minutes and pressed her little cheek against the Ogre's arm, wrapping one chubby little arm around his big forearm, and fell asleep.I carefully got up and went into the living room. I looked at the assortment of socks and shoes and blankets littered across the carpet, interspersed with the occasional sippy cup, toy and string cheese remnant. I thought of the dryer and the clean clothes within, the dishwasher waiting to be unloaded, Liam in his swing, Charlotte snuggled up with the Ogre, and Sienna sleeping alone in her big bed. Then I turned around, walked down the hallway and quietly crept into bed next to my firstborn. She rolled over, looked at me with wide eyes, smiled, wrapped her arms around my neck and fell back asleep in an instant. I lay there, dozing occasionally, praying occasionally, and generally just letting my thoughts wander for an hour until Liam woke up.
It's not often that I ignore housework in favor of doing nothing. Usually if the house is messy there's a good reason for it; perhaps the day had been particularly cooking-heavy, or perhaps I had been running errands or on a playdate. I really can't remember the last time I chose just laying with my children over housework (um, when I wasn't pregnant). It was nice, and different, to spend time with each of them individually, time that wasn't allotted to reading, working on letters, going for a walk, or doing anything at all. Of course I've often held my sleeping children in my arms but I don't think I've ever before spent a day doing nothing but that. No one was truly sick, no one was injured or sad…we all just needed to snuggle. And it was wonderful.

One man was arrested after assaulting a local Nebraska State Trooper outside a home in Plainview Tuesday evening.
The incident occurred around 5:00 p.m. at a residence at 616 N. West Street, in Plainview. Trooper Brandon Viterna went to the residence to follow-up with a woman on a previous car accident. When he arrived at the home, Trooper Viterna was confronted by a man outside the home.
The man, identified as Billy Ray Hoscheit, 52, reached into a vehicle, pulled out a machete, and continued yelling at the trooper. Hoscheit then put the machete back into the car and approached the trooper. Trooper Viterna pushed him away, but Hoscheit charged again leading to a physical confrontation. At that time, Hoscheit struck Trooper Viterna in the face.
Trooper Viterna called for back-up and additional officers from the Plainview Police Department, Pierce County Sheriff's Office, and Nebraska State Patrol (NSP) arrived at the scene. Hoscheit went inside the house and locked the door. After attempting to get Hoscheit to voluntarily surrender, officers made entry into the house. A second struggle ensued in which Hoscheit was taken into custody.
After being taken into custody, Hoscheit began complaining of chest pains and was transported to the Plainview Hospital where he was evaluated and released. NSP arrested Hoscheit for Assault on an Officer, Resisting Arrest, Obstruction, and Disobeying a Lawful Order. He was lodged in Pierce County Jail.
Trooper Viterna was evaluated and released from the Plainview Hospital.

INTRODUCING THE Mountaineer
Mountaineer is our 'all-purpose' carbon tripod family extremely rigid and light in weight. Our Mountaineer tripods have been developed further to incorporate the latest Gitzo technology which increase both performance and ease of use.
Carbon eXact
Revolutionary Carbon eXact tubes are even stiffer to maximize rigidity and image stability. Carbon eXact optimizes the fibre composition for each tube size, using HM (High Modulus) carbon fibre in the narrower tubes to make them stiffer. The tube diameters are also optimized: the final leg section of a 4 section Series 1 tripod is now 22.5% thicker than its predecessor.
G-lock Ultra
Gitzo has redesigned the G-lock internally and externally introducing a new leg locking system: G-lock Ultra. It creates new level of ergonomics and resistance, with smoother, softer operation, while reducing dust entering the system.
Ground Level
Completely redesigned for faster operation, Mountaineer's Ground Level Set mechanism permit to remove the centre column to get the camera closer to the ground. A single simple unlocking ring under the column's upper disc frees the column while keeping the upper disc solidly in place on the tripod. (Patent Pending).
Mountaineer in Use
Chosen and used by the world's most exacting photographers. It's at the heart of Gitzo.
Additional Features for Increased Rigidity and Ergonomics
The world's first carbon fibre tripod is still evolving, and still redefining tripod technology.
Product Range and Specifications
Mountaineer tripods are available from the lightweight and compact Series 0, up to the sturdiest Series 3. We recommend choosing the Series based on the focal length of the lens you intend to use.

NORWICH Chenango Countys financial leaders spent the last two weeks paring down previous budget estimates of a 2.2 percent increase on the levy to a mere .01 percent.
Finance Committee Chairman Lawrence Wilcox, R-Oxford, said he had hoped for a zero increase in order to take the pressure off taxpayers who are already strained by the nations growing financial crises.
We came awfully close, he said Wednesday.
Wilcoxs committee will present the county governments budget to the full Board of Supervisors for consideration when they meet on Monday. The real property tax levy of $22.7 million is up about $3,096 or 0.01 percent. The average countywide tax rate of $15.48 will fluctuate, either increasing or decreasing, in all 22 municipalities based on state-established equalization rates. The tentative tax rate dropped an average of 35 cents per $1,000 of assessed value from last year.

I suggest that all Superstol owners check their carbon monoxide levels with an accurate meter. Personally I use a Sensorcon unit available on Amazon. My initial readings on my plane on climb out were between 800-1000 ppm, which are deadly after 30 minutes. It took me a couple months to fix the problem and I am still making modifications. Here is a list of the changes that I made:
1 Firewall. My plane had a rubber piece that sealed against the cowling, leaving a gaping hole between the boot cowl and the seal. Any exhaust blew past the seal ended up inside the plane. I threw out the rubber seal and sealed the firewall completely.
2 Caulking. I ran a bead of high temperature furnace caulking around the inside of the firewall (pilot side), as well as all of the holes that carried cables and wires through the firewall.
3 I welded a 12" stainless extension onto the exhaust, which releases the exhaust gas farther away from the fuselage. This was a huge help.
4 Exhaust System. I found a myriad of leaks on my exhaust headers and sockets through the use of a soapy solution sprayed on the pressurized exhaust system. Run a vacuum cleaner in reverse and route the positive air pressure up into the exhaust stack. You'll be amazed at how leaky these systems are. Tighten down the sockets. I even used fiberglass tape and hose clamps to seal leaks.
5 I noticed a cover over the tailwheel section of another Superstol being worked on at Magnum Aviation in San Martin, CA (Steve Lamb, www.MagnumAviation.com). He fabricated this boot because the owner of the other Superstol complained about . . .you guessed it . . . exhaust in the cockpit. According to Steve, the negative pressure in the cockpit draws exhaust in from the tail. He feels that the cover solves this problem.
My recommendation is please don't rely on your nose. Get one of these meters and monitor it during all phases of flight. Be proactive. Save a brain cell or two.

Sea Captains: San Francisco 1800s
E. W. Nichols
Arrest of an American Sea Captain --
Action of the American Consul.
We regret to hear of a little unpleasantness between the U.S. Consul here, Gen. Keenan, a gentleman very generally respected and in every way fit for his office, and our Chief Police Magistrate. His Worship, we are told, fined the master of the American ship Reindeer fifty dollars for assaulting one of his crew: the master sent his Consul to protest; that gentleman did so, complaining at the same time of the want of courtesy to himself in not having been consulted on the case prior to the adjudication. The Magistrate ordered the shipmaster to prison in default of payment, the Consul challenged the Magistrate's jurisdiction, and invited the shipmaster to dinner, taking him by the arm and walking away; not to the dining table directly, but by water, calling on route on board the U.S.S. Powhatan, when he was chased to the gangway by some of our black policemen. The matter is likely to create a stir among the officials of the respective nations: Capt. McCloney, we hear, making warm cause with his countrymen in the affairs.
In connection with the above, we have received the following document, addressed to the American Consul at Hong Kong.
Hong Kong, China, October 27, 1855
The undersigned American citizens, and masters of American ships in Hong Kong and China waters, being present and cognizant of the occurrence of the 23rd October, between Capt. E. W. Nichols of the American barque Reindeer, and the Police Court of Hong Kong, in its action against the said Capt. E. W. Nichols in the matter of forcibly and without warrant taking from confinement, a prisoner named John Madison, a seaman of the Reindeer, placed as such for "desertion and mutinous conduct" on board the Reindeer, by Capt. E. W. Nichols. The said Madison being one of the crew of the Reindeer, and being in our opinion under the "laws and regulations of the United States, for the government of its marin, was not amicable to say English jurisdiction but legally under the command of the lawful Captain of the said ship, and therefore illegally and with outrage taken by force from the ship. Therefore we hereby tender to James Keenan of the U.S. Consul for this government our cordial approval of his conduct in placing the said Capt. E. W. Nichols, in safety on board of the U.S.S. Frigate Powhatan, when threatened with fine and imprisonment in a common jail, by the Police Court, upon what we consider a most unwarrantable assumption of power.
We take this opportunity of calling through our Consul the earnest attention of "our government" to this matter important in many ways to the interest and proper discipline of the Mercantile Marine of the U.S.
A brief review of the case may be important.
An American ship arrived in the harbor of Hong Kong, in the lawful pursuit of her business one of her crew; lawfully shipped in the U.S., signing the "articles" to make the voyage and return to the United States deserts the vessel, and after the absence of some days comes on board; behaving in a mutinous and outrageous manner towards his superior officers is placed in irons and necessary from his resistance to the proper authorities, treated with severity. Suddenly in the absence of the Captain, an armed police force boards the ship, takes from confinement the prisoner spoken of and without exhibiting "warrant or authority" convey him on shore.
Then a warrant is issued for the Captain for "assault and battery" against this rescued prisoner, a suit instituted and judgment (under a protest of the U. S. Consul) given, sentencing the Captain to pay fifty dollars to the Queen and twenty five dollars to the plaintiff, or the defendant to go to jail. Under these circumstances the U.S. Consul places the Captain under the protection of the U. S. Steam Frigate Powhatan and we cordially support him in his course of action.
We consider that the American principle of the denial of the "right of search," and that the "American flag and the American law" protects the American citizen, when on just and lawful occupation has been ably and patriotically carried out by the U.S. Consul in this matter.
We also solemnly and firmly protest against the assumption of a foreign power, which assumes to take from and protects the subordinate of an American ship, against his superior. When that superior simply performs his duty in disciplining his ship, under the U.S. Laws, and he protests against a foreign power, settling at right the laws of the United States, and assuming to control the internal regulations of an American ship, and we respect all appeal to our country to protect us in a serious a position.
We are very truly, your friends and countrymen,

The Sea Chart
The Illustrated History of Nautical Maps and Navigational Charts
John Blake
The sea chart was one of the key tools by which ships of trade, transport and conquest navigated their course across the oceans. John Blake looks at the history and development of the chart and the related nautical map, in both scientific and aesthetic terms, as a means of safe and accurate seaborne navigation. This handsome work contains 150 color illustrations including the earliest charts of the Mediterranean made by thirteenth-century Italian merchant adventurers, as well as eighteenth-century charts that became strategic naval and commercial requirements and led to Cook's voyages in the Pacific, the search for the Northwest Passage, and races to the Arctic and Antarctic.
"Master Under God"
Captains exercised absolute authority at sea and so were dubbed "Master Under God" by early insurance writs, agreements with ship owners and passengers and the Board of Trade.
The captain is responsible for its safe and efficient operation, including cargo operations, navigation, crew management and ensuring that the vessel complies with local and international laws, as well as company and flag state policies.
All persons on board, including officers and crew, other shipboard staff members, passengers, guests and pilots, are under the captain's authority and are his ultimate responsibility.
On international voyages, the captain is responsible for satisfying requirements of the local immigration and customs officials. Immigration issues can include situations such as embarking and disembarking passengers, handling crewmembers who desert the ship, making crew-changes in port, and making accommodations for foreign crewmembers.
Customs requirements can include the master providing a cargo declaration, a ship's stores declaration, a declaration of crewmembers' personal effects, crew lists and passenger lists.
The Authority to Sail: The History of U.S. Maritime Licenses and Seamen's Papers
Robert Stanley Bates, George Marsh (Editor), John F. Whiteley (Forward) (Batek Marine Publishing, 2011; Nominated in 2012 for a Pulitzer Prize)
This book depicts important aspects of our maritime history as a result of original research done by the author, Commodore Bates, the holder of an unlimited master's license who has enjoyed a distinguished fifty-year career in both the Coast Guard and the American Merchant Marine.
The U.S. Coast Guard issues all Captain Licenses for U.S. Ports.
Note: Other countries have different regulations, i.e. the RYA (Royal Yachting Association), conducts certification for Britain and Ireland. As of 2011, they did not recognize the USCG certification; certification through their courses was required.
Master Unlimited is a licensed mariner in ultimate command of a vessel any gross tons. The captain is responsible for its safe and efficient operation, including cargo operations, navigation, crew management and ensuring that the vessel complies with local and international laws. All persons on board, including officers and crew, other shipboard staff members, passengers, guests and pilots, are under the captain's authority and are his or her ultimate responsibility. The STCW defines the Master as Person having command of the ship.

Get Your Captain's License. Fifth Edition
Charlie Wing
Considered the quickest, easiest, and least expensive way to prepare for the U.S. Coast Guard captain's ratings exams required for anyone who takes paying passengers on a boat, and useful for serious boaters who want to save money on insurance. 350 pages of seamanship and navigation tutorials. More than 1,500 questions and answers from the Coast Guard exams. Includes an interactive CD-ROM with all 14,000 questions and answers in the USCG database, so you can take an unlimited number of practice exams

I was told by my friend about the restaurant so I went to the internet to find out more about the place. I was so impressed, I'm looking forward to take my husband on the 8th April 2014, its his birthday. I cant wait for the evening next week tuesday, I just love the outdoor view especially in the evening. I'm looking forward for the night.
James Buss26 March 2013
Myself and 4 work colleagues went for dinner to baobab. 1 of the colleagues is German and was looking forward to the meal as he loves South African food. He order the Prawn & Chicken Potjie. The food was terrible, my steak was supposed to be medium but it was well cooked and burnt in places, 2 other colleagues also ordered steak and their's was also burnt. The German at maybe 1/4 of his meal and sent it back. The worst part was that we waiting 30min for drinks and over an hour for our food!! We all agreed we will not ever dine at baobab. Recommendation: Rather go somewhere else if you don't...see more
Ivan Varzinczak27 December 2012
The food is quite good, but the service is inefficient and the management has no understanding of how to run a restaurant.
Felicia Ntuli24 October 2012
I had the most amazing first time experience at Baobab. The atmosphere was superb and the decor is to die for. I loved the private dining area for those romantic evenings and the food was plain wonderful. I cannot wait for my next experience.

Jim Skelton Leaves Watchgeeks
February 22, 2011
"As you know, Michael, Bruce and myself have transferred ownership of watchgeeks.net over to Invicta. At the same time, I am leaving the forum. As we continue to build the watch shows at ShopNBC, I need to focus more of my time and energy there. I am also working on spending more quality time with my own family, and not be tethered to a computer all the time this has been in the works for a while now, and I felt it needed to be done. I have been blessed with two great partners who agreed and worked with me on this transition. Thanks also to Eyal and Invicta for picking up the baton and carrying WG forward with grace.
I am always here for you however, and you can feel free to always contact me via email or on my two Facebook pages.
I cannot begin to thank all of you enough for your amazing support, both of me personally at ShopNBC and also for your support of watchgeeks. We have not only watched this forum grow, but more importantly we have watched our membership grow closer as a family. Many of you have made lifelong friendships, and the community here goes far beyond a typical watch forum on the Internet. I am forever grateful for all you have done here to create this community, and I know that Invicta plans to grow the forum in so many ways, without changing anything that you love about it.
You guys made it happen, and I know I speak for Bruce and Michael when I say THANK YOU for all that you've done, and I am excited to see what the future holds for this community.
If anyone needs to contact me, or just wants to keep in touch, I'm not disappearing… you can reach me via email at email@example.com or on my Facebook page:
Thank you all so much, it has been my greatest pleasure getting to know all of you. Don't be strangers…"
IS Comcast owned ShopNBC trying to distance themselves from Invicta? Or is Jim Skelton giving up WGs and the site a requirement to let him out of a non-compete?

Fuck him! When he is out of TV and under arrest, only then will I be satisfied.
February 24, 2011 at 5:32 pm
Jim's so full of shit. Of course Invicta has owned it since day one. How else do u explain all the members being banned every time, Someone said anything bad about Invicta? If they Didn't own it since day 1 than how come its only those who get banned, For talking down on Invicta???

It,s with grate saddnes that we say goodby to Jimmy.He was the best .
WG,s will carry on like good soldiers .
The only good thing about Jimmy leaving,is now I only have to suck Mike,s dick .

At least the last vestige of being anything like a legit watch forum has been eradicated, and Mikey can ban people to his heart's content. I almost feel pity for the sheeple that have been either too full of the Kool-Aid or too lazy and stupid to think for themselves. Almost. I wonder how much the site will grow without its best draw. WatchGeeks is becoming more and more irrelevant every day.

Why at the car show his nose was so tweaked from stuff his brain was scrambled so badly he could hardly remember is name.

i've never posted here but use to read some good stuff about watches and the site seemed like a brotherhood of good guys who loved watches.i don't see any love in this site today. just a bunch of pissin and moanin.i am getting bored with invictas new offerings. their watches are too big and look like they were made in a shipyard.i remember the first nite that jim skelton did a show. i liked him immediately. he was very polite but i could tell right away that he was a different cat.we share the same off the wall sense of humor.i think he had a lot to do with the "beefy" watches. some of them are nice but they are going too far. i miss the days when I was buying lots of beautiful jacques lemans,philip,etc. i miss jim. the new guy from invicta has a motor mouth and he has an expression on his face like he shit himself. i'm hoping jim will come back after his calling. he seemed happy.but you never can tell. maby it was too much.
see ya, p.dow

Jim I have followed u from shop NBC to world of watches. You r the one that got me hooked on invicta. I have a tag in my collection that I got as a gift. I love that ttag even if it was a gift from my exwife. But I have to say that my invictas are more comfortable than my tag. I now own seven invictas. 1 tag, 2 citizens, 1 Kenneth Cole. I love watches. I particularly enjoy skeletonized movements. It is so cool to watch the balance that it takes to simply tell time. Also let's face it they are also a work of art. anyway I don't want to babble. God bless u and your family. Good luck in your future endeavors.

This lipstick is really great. Matte finish is very comfortable on my lips. The color "allure" looks so natural and nude. This is my second "Lord&berry" lipstick,and i' m sure,that it' s not the last one and i Plan to try other colors. I' m very happy with my purchase,the only thing ,that's not very comfortable for me is the need to sharpen it. I used to twist this type of lipsticks.

Love the texture and goes on beautifully. The only problem was the colour example shown in the picture was a pale pink but the colour when it arrived was a deep red so be warned.

I always love the story that a documented car can tell and this well optioned 1968 Chevrolet Caprice station wagon found on Ebay has both the original build sheet and the original invoice included. We can see that on December 4th, 1967 a gentleman walked into a Chevy dealership in Missouri and placed an order for a well optioned top of the line Caprice wagon. A $2,366 credit was given for his 1958 Chevy wagon and his 1964 Impala. Total price for the Caprice was 4,666.95 including over $1,000 in options.
44 years later the Caprice has held up well. Equipped with the original 327/250hp 4bbl engine and Turbo-Hydramatic transmission, the wagon is finished in its original Palamino Ivory exterior and turquoise interior. Options include air conditioning, power steering and brakes, front bumper guards, luggage rack, deluxe steering wheel, power tailgate window and an outside remote control mirror.

Best Cities 2010: 5 Worst Cities for Education
These five cities ranked at the bottom of the list for education, according to our survey. What do you think: did we get it right?
- prev
- Next
- 1 of 6
Of the cities and towns we surveyed, these five were at the bottom of the list in the education category. The Golden State isn't so golden when it comes to schools -- 4 of the 5 worst cities are located in southern California. Here, we round up the stinkers in the education category.
See our list of best cities for education
(Our list was compiled by using a list of the top 100 cities by population, adding in well-known smaller cities too, and removing cities so close to other large cities that they would have similar data. Then we crunched numbers in 7 education criteria categories to come up with our list.)
Bakersfield, CA
A lack of quality preschools and not enough teachers per student pulled Bakersfield to the bottom of our list.
Long Beach, CA
Poor reading and math scores, as well as a high teacher/student ratio, combine to give the schools in Long Beach a failing grade.
Riverside, CA
More bad news for Cali: Riverside has one of the highest teacher/student ratios in the nation, with more than 24 pupils per instructor.
Fresno, CA
Poor test scores, a high teacher/student ration and a dearth of quality preschool rank Fresno near the bottom of our list.
Mobile, AL
The only non-California city on our list, Mobile schools have to improve math scores to move up our list. Access to quality preschools is also a problem.

1909-1911 T206 Southern Leaguer Complete SGC-Graded Set (48)
Starting Bid - $1,000, Sold For - $5,288
The Southern Leaguers have always been appreciated for their scarcity and as a popular subset to the T206 series. They have also always been listed at a significant premium in relation to regular cards in the set. Presented is a complete set of all forty-eight scarce T206 Southern Leaguers, each graded and encapsulated by SGC. Seven cards are EX 60, sixteen are VG/EX 50, eight are VG 40, fourteen are GOOD 30, two are FAIR 20, and one is graded POOR 10. SGC Condition Report Composite: Seven EX 60: Bastian - San Antonio, Bay - Nashville, Guiheen - Portsmouth (Old Mill back), Miller – Dallas, Otey - Norfolk, Seitz - Norfolk, and Westlake - Danville. Sixteen VG/EX 50: Ellam - Nashville, Hart - Montgomery, Hickman - Mobile (Old Mill back), Howard - Savannah (Old Mill back), Lentz - Little Rock, Molesworth - Birmingham (Old Mill back), Orth - Lynchburg, Paige - Charleston, Perdue - Nashville, Persons - Montgomery, Reagan - New Orleans, Rockenfeld - Montgomery, Stark - San Antonio (Old Mill back), Thebo - Waco (Old Mill back), Violat - Jacksonville, and White - Houston.

Two FAIR 20: Greminger - Montgomery and McCauley - Portsmouth. One POOR 10: Ryan - Roanoke (Old Mill back). The scarcity of the Southern Leaguers has always made putting together a complete T206 set particularly difficult. This is a very impressive complete collection of Southern Leaguers, with most cards having an appearance superior to their technically accurate assigned grades. The equivalent SMR value for the group is $5,340. Total: 48 cards. Reserve $1,000. Estimate $2,000/$4,000+. SOLD FOR $5,288

What makes good digital citizens
The answer at Digizen.org points to the next phase, I think, of all our efforts in online safety: "Digital citizenship isn't just about recognising and dealing with online hazards. It's about building safe spaces and communities, understanding how to manage personal information, and about being Internet savvy – using your online presence to grow and shape your world in a safe, creative way, and inspiring others to do the same." That helps me think about how to teach children accountability for their behavior online. If they begin to see online environments as communities they're helping to shape so that they have a stake in appearance, atmosphere, and outcomes of activity within them, they'll simply act more accountably. Maybe disinhibition and anonymity become less problematic when users are citizens as much as socializers. Digizen.org, a report from UK-based Childnet International, looks at social networking with this potential in mind. The report examines the risks but also how the social Web is "being used to support personalised formal and informal learning by young people in schools and colleges." The site defines social networking and links to a pdf comparison chart of seven social network sites. An equally important section of the Digizen.org site addresses cyberbullying, with advice on how to "embed anti-bullying work in schools" and some powerful video teaching tools.

"Hi," the voice on the other end of the telephone said. "We were thinking about coming for Thanksgiving. Are you going to be home?" The call came about a week before the holiday.
This young native American mother had been a part of my expanded family for most of her life. I had met her parents, brother, sister, aunts, uncles, and cousins when she was 2 years old. We passed many wonderful hours together over more than 25 years, eating the traditional mutton stew and fry bread, tilling the soil for her family's crops, and giggling and playing under the summer sun.
Although we had already invited 12 people to join our celebration, what would 12 more be? After all, this was family, and wasn't this an occasion for families to be together? I was truly grateful for the presence of this family in my life and thought Thanksgiving Day a fitting occasion to express that.
The young woman's mother and grandmother had taught me many important lessons in my life - a respect for the land, a love of extended family, an appreciation of differences, and a recognition of similarities despite the differences. It never mattered to any of us that we came from different ethnic backgrounds. In fact, we felt such a family closeness that her children called me "Grandma."
In the days that led up to Thanksgiving, I wondered what it would be like. Generally, in the past I'd fitted into their world. Now they would be entering mine.
Our Thanksgiving Day begins with church, where we listen to readings from the Bible and "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. Then there's an opportunity for us to give thanks for all of the blessings in our lives.
I invited my native American family to join us for church. During the gratitude portion of the service, the young woman's mother stood up and gave thanks for all of the blessings God had showered on her family, especially for the blessing of friendship and family. After the church service, she presented me with a beautiful necklace worn daily by her own mother because, she said, I had meant so much to her mother. Later, 24 of us prepared our feast.
Before we sat down to enjoy it, the mother asked to say a few words. In a true expression of grace, she thanked God for each one present and spoke of how much it meant to her to be a part of the celebration. Tears flowed.
Justifiably, many native Americans question whether they should observe Thanksgiving, since their people suffered so much at the hands of European settlers. The key for me, and perhaps for my native American family, is to lift my concept of thanksgiving to its truer meaning that is far more significant than simply marking one particular day in the history of a nation.
Many are left out of a celebration that merely observes a day, especially if the events that followed favored some over others. But seeing the sentiment behind giving thanks for past and future good transforms lives and readies us to receive more.
I love the definition of gratitude I once heard: the acknowledgment of present possession. In keeping with that, I've often found this question from Science and Health compelling: "Are we really grateful for the good already received?" Following the question is a way to measure our gratitude: "Then we shall avail ourselves of the blessings we have, and thus be fitted to receive more. Gratitude is much more than a verbal expression of thanks. Action expresses more gratitude than speech" (pg. 3).
If we embrace this kind of thanksgiving, we won't so much observe a specific day. Instead, we'll capture the spirit of my native American family who yearned to celebrate a lifetime of love and a wider family embrace. And doing so, wouldn't we be a whole lot better off to see thanksgiving as a moment-by-moment acknowledgment of present possession? In that way, thanksgiving becomes integral to our thinking, giving ourselves and those around us much to celebrate. That's putting gratitude into action.
Rejoice in the Lord alway:
and again I say, Rejoice.
Philippians 4:4


text: Hi guys, I want to set up a membership site where users visit the website --> buy membership --> membership card arrives in the mail. I know how to sort out everything else from credit card processing to having the appropriate virtual terminal in place, so that I can charge cards. The only thing I am a little confused on is what type of platform is best for this type of operation. I want to be able to design a nice looking site that will take down all details of the custom (for the purposes of making their membership card and knowing which address to mail it to) and then store this information somewhere in a database. I need it to be stored in some type of functional database so that I can easily see all of my customers and their details. It will also help when the annual membership is about to expire, I will be able to easily and efficiently call up all 'about to expire' members and offer to renew. Basically, I have little knowledge in customer relationship managers (CRMs) but this sounds like something a CRM can or will do. Does anyone know, is it hard to integrate this type of thing with CRMs? Would it be easier to make a site in Wordpress for this? Or do you think somehow to modify Magento and use it's inbuilt functionality of orders as well as export customer data into a CRM? I like Magento because it has a lot of functionaltiy and things like that, but if possible I would like to avoid it as it is seems a fairly complex system for what I require. Any thoughts?

Pa-an: Myanmar`s government signed a ceasefire agreement on Thursday with ethnic Karen rebels in a major step toward ending one of the world`s longest-running insurgencies and meeting a key condition for better ties with the West.
The talks between officials and Karen National Union leaders were part of efforts by Myanmar`s new, nominally civilian government to seek international legitimacy through democratic reforms after years of military repression.
The Karen group has been fighting for greater autonomy for more than 60 years, in a guerrilla campaign in eastern jungles that dates back to before Myanmar`s independence from Britain. It has been the only one of Myanmar`s major ethnic groups never to have reached a peace agreement with the government.
"A ceasefire agreement has been signed," Aung Min, head of the government`s peace committee, told reporters in the Karen capital Pa-an after the talks.
Details were not immediately released.
For decades, Myanmar has been at odds with the ethnic groups who seek greater autonomy, but a military junta that took power in 1988 signed ceasefire agreements with many of them. Some of those pacts were strained as the central government sought to consolidate power, and combat resumed.
However, the new government that took office after November 2010 elections has embarked on reforms to try to end its international isolation. Western governments had imposed political and economic sanctions on Myanmar because of repression under the junta.
Ending war with ethnic rebels is one of the conditions set by the West for improved relations, a point emphasised by US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton during her recent visit to Myanmar.
In recent months, the government has held talks with rebel groups to strike new peace deals or rebuild shattered cease-fires. The other groups reportedly involved in talks include the Shan, Karenni, Chin and Kachin.
Ending the long-running ethnic conflicts also has been one of the key demands by Myanmar`s pro-democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi.
"Unless there is ethnic harmony it will be very difficult for us to build up a strong democracy," Suu Kyi said in an interview last week.

Madam Wokie Travels: Colombo,Sri Lanka
In both business and personal life, I've always found that travel inspires me more than anything else I do. Evidence of the languages, cultures, scenery, food, and design sensibilities that I discover all over the world can be found in every piece of my jewelry.
Ivanka Trump
In many ways Sri Lanka reminds me of Sierra Leone; its beaches, the humidity, the friendliness and warmth of its people, and the lush green vegetation as you leave the city Colombo, and travel to the various cities. However what I love most about Sri Lanka is the obviousness and authenticity of its culture which you find almost everywhere you go. I was mesmerized by the numerous temples, memorials and various other landmarks which adorned the city. I also loved the efforts of the people in showcasing and preserving these landmarks for both tourists and citizens alike.

When asked whether he is afraid of anything, Ojiko says with a smile, "I am only afraid of hunger."
Not one to speak so openly about himself, Ojiko's eyes are merry and serious all at the same time, as if inviting anyone to dare challenge his bold statement. Though he welcomed us intro his small home in Kibera with a warm smile, Ojiko was shy to tell us his personal story.
Ojiko lives in one of the eleven villages of Kibera, called Soweto. Despite being one of the poorest parts of Kibera, there is still a sense of happiness and hope - young children play alongside the paths as we walk down into the valley where his house is located.
Ojiko easily talks about his professional life as a jeweler. Inside his house, he is eager to discuss his work as he digs out chains, earrings and rings from a container under his bed. The beauty of the jewelry is astonishing, emphasized even more so by the setting in which it is made. Once again, Ojiko smiles as he invites us to try on the jewelry and admire ourselves.
Only after visiting Ojiko three times at his home does he feel ready to reveal his story.
"When my father died, I was only in class four (5th grade in the US) and there was no more money for me to continue with school. There was nothing much for me to do when other children went to school. Sometimes I would sell charcoal at the market but I mostly sat and waited with nothing to do."
Through all this, Ojiko also had to figure out how to help his widowed mother through financial difficulties. As the first-born son, family responsibilities now rested on his shoulders. He could not have been more than twelve years of age at the time.
A friend offered him a job herding cows, so he went to Suba, a remote and rural district on the border of Kenya and Uganda. There he worked as a cattle herder, earning 1,000 shillings per month and sending 700 shillings home to support his mother.
Ojiko spent a year as a cattle herder when his employer and mentor, a secondary school teacher named Dominic Kiboye Sure, told him he could do more with his life if he attained a marketable skill.
Dominic sent him to Waudo Polytechnic, also in Western Kenya, where Ojiko enrolled to learn welding for a year. He employs this skill to this day as part of his jewelry craft. He would work herding cows during the holidays and attend school for the rest of the year.
Ojiko's next step in developing his jewelry technique was an apprenticeship at Victorious Bones Kibera, learning how to create remarkable pieces from upcycled bone. For six years, Ojiko worked throughout Nairobi and in Mombasa, where he developed skills working with silver, wood, leather, horn, and silver.
In 2011, Ojiko decided it was time to branch out on his own. "I got tired of feeling like a school going child. Now I can work when I want and if I get tired, I can lie down and rest without anyone bothering me." Who wouldn't like the sound of that?!
A micro-finance loan gave him start-up capital to purchase a drilling machine and gas cylinder, essentials for opening his jewelry business. Now just one of his products sells for 4700 shillings ($55), a long way from the 1000 shillings/month he had been earning as a cattle herder in Suba district.
Ojiko's multi-disciplinary talents result in innovative designs that are a striking mix of traditional technique and modern style. The shy playfulness and cheerful spirit that comes out as he tells his story can also be seen in his designs, like the Tepe Mixed Media Pendant or his Tempe earrings. After letting us into his world, it's clear that Ojiko's home is not only his workshop, but his hope.

Gordon Ramsay's restaurant next to the Chateau of Versailles, Gordon Ramsay au Trianon, is the best thing about the hotel it's in
I went to Gordon Ramsay's house to photograph his dog for Tatler once. Even he couldn't quite believe it was happening. "Are we really doing this?" he laughed. Yes, we really were. It was during a period that I was shooting a lot for Tatler, and somehow I got roped into doing the celebrity pet page. I only agreed to do it because the first in the series was one of Elton John's spaniels, and it meant I got to go to his mansion (how I wished we were shooting Jake and Dinos, his donkeys, instead – they have their own mini-castle!). Then there was promise of Courtney Love's turtle. But that never materialised. So I stopped doing it.
I went to Gordon Ramsay's house to photograph his dog for Tatler once. Even he couldn't quite believe it was happening
Ramsay's stock has been volatile over the last few years. He may not have sunk to Marco Pierre White depths (there are mesopelagic fish that haven't gone down that far), but his reputation as a serious contemporary force in cooking has taken a fair few knocks. I've never seen a full episode of any of those TV shows, but I know they haven't done him any favours. Still, his London flagship on Hospital Road is one of Europe's finest. And his Paris outpost, Gordon Ramsay au Trianon, in Versailles, is seriously impressive.
When the Waldorf Astoria (Hilton to you) took over this property a few years ago, they did a splendid job turning it into a not-quite-Palace hotel, a short walk from the iconic topiary, gardens and Chateau. It's radiant with monochrome graphic marble hallways and public spaces. The bedrooms are swish, bathrooms are black and white tiled Carrara wonders, and there are – in a strange move – treadmills at the end of the corridors. This is very much a conference hotel – in-room wifi is a risible €25 and the hairdryers seem to have come from a charity shop. But it looks the part.
I was in Versailles shooting with Agnès b for a story celebrating the 40th anniversary of her label. Agnès grew up in Versailles (the town, not the Chateau), and has a grand home nearby. She very kindly put me up in the Trianon Palace for the night, and it seemed churlish not to give Ramsay a whirl. I invited the sculptor Yasemen Hussein to join me – Yas disappeared off into the Hall of Mirrors for inspiration while I shot with Agnès, and we met up in the restaurant later on.
Gordon Ramsay au Trianon has a black and white marble floor that calls for high heels, sweeping hems and lacy handheld fans. This room, with its vast garden-facing windows, crystal chandeliers and white and lemon banquettes and chairs, would be the perfect setting for a late 80s Peter Greenaway movie, or an early 80s Adam Ant video.
the perfect setting for a late 80s Peter Greenaway movie, or an early 80s Adam Ant video
Dinner kicked off with champagne and a truffled scrambled egg amuse-bouche that came to the table in its own shell, housed in a kind of heavy metal spiked vessel – half Sputnik, half Game of Thrones flail weapon. Luckily, as we were the first people to be dining that evening, we hadn't suffered the usual annoying experience of seeing all the surprises float past to other tables a few courses before we would get them. Yas, who spends most of her life welding fantastical objects in her studio in south London, was thrilled.
Nothing quite matched the medieval glamour of the amuse-bouche in terms of presentation, but dinner was consistently excellent. Fine dining in Paris is a strange beast – in an attempt to surprise and excite, while sticking to rigorous French culinary codes, it can become weird. Not Mugaritz and interesting weird, more like lipstick-on-a-pig weird. Ramsay's restaurant in Versailles is playful but serious: four types of butter appeared on a marble disc – one shaped like a pyramid, two cubed, one rolled; a foie gras ballotine appeared in a curled lace of beetroot; lobster tail with mozzarella was presented with a flourish of purple and green leaf. The real highlights are the more visually prosaic – the most perfectly cooked, lush, chunk of veal – melt in the mouth soft, with one carrot and an asparagus tip. The meat of the gods. The waiter brought a trolley over with the biggest wheel of Comté either of us had ever seen. He served thick shavings with a cube of toasted brioche. I speculated with Yas about how much such a wheel of Comté could cost, and whether it would be ridiculous to have one at home: Night Cheese, taken to its most extravagant conclusion.
The finalé was a candied pineapple, coconut, vanilla and passion fruit dessert in the form of a golden egg sitting in a swirl on its plate, peppered with gold. Here was an abstract portrait of the Sun King, cooking by Dali. Coffee arrived along with some small cones of something fancy, in a cloud of liquid nitrogen. As the smoke cleared, we tottered off, tipsy, singing "I Want Candy" (the only good bit of the otherwise rubbish Marie Antoinette movie). Gordon Ramsay au Trianon is anything but a dog's dinner. C

On Sunday, I noted the announcement of the 3DS XL, and mentioned that I had my own thoughts on the matter. For context, I got a 3DS within the month of launch. Can't remember if I went so far as to get it on launch, but it's possible.
The Good
Obviously, the larger size is nice for visuals. There are some very nice looking DS and 3DS games that could really be served well by being on a larger screen. As I understand, the larger screen really delivers. I was never bothered by the battery life, but it was evidently a big deal to lots of people. The XL has a longer battery life. The XL also supports a larger SD card. It allegedly has a nicer form factor, and is more ergonomically designed. Additionally, the $200 price tag doesn't seem so bad. The DSi XL seemed a bit inflated in price, but that lies in part with its proximity to the announcement of the 3DS. I can see a $200 price being justified, with the minor caveat that that puts it at the same price as current-gen consoles, if not more expensive.
The Bad
The 3DS seems to have been designed with travel in mind. It's difficult to reconcile the StreetPass feature with the larger system, as a larger system is less portable. Nintendo, like so many other companies, is irrationally afraid of us stealing from them, so my library of DSi and eShop games are either inaccessible or subject to a rather obnoxious migration process. Which deletes any saves. Furthermore, any attempts to add functionality to the system will brick it. Are they trying to compete with the iPad? The price makes it competitive with iPads, but a 3DS isn't nearly as multipurpose. Never mind the fact that Nintendo is still terrified of the internet. People say that Apple is eating Nintendo's lunch in the portable arena. I don't but that idea, and think remaining a dedicated system is perhaps the wisest approach, but it needs to be done right. It can't be done by pretending to be an iPod, or an iPad. It can't en done by sticking to the same ideas that have worked for a century, but it also can't be done by shouting "me too!"
A few short years ago, Nintendo caught everyone by surprise with the DS and the Wii, both expected to be flops. They seem to have learned the wrong lesson. The lesson they learned was "Screw the public, we can do better if we trust our instincts!" The lesson that should have been learned was "Dare to be different. Try new things and take risks." Seeing as the key announcements for Nintendo have been the Wii U, New Super Mario Bros. 2, and the 3DS XL, I think it's fair to say they didn't learn the right lessons.
The Ugly
Everyone's making a stink about the lack of a second analog pad. Dual analog controls weren't the norm for quite some time in polygon-rendered games (i.e. 3d environments and characters). There are other control schemes that work. Kid Icarus: Uprising was a disaster with controls, admitted. But ti was a disaster precisely because the designers were married to one particular idea of what a control scheme should be. Pot, meet kettle.
Also, the color choices on launch are pretty lame.
Since we've just gotten the announcement, there's really not much that would be fair to say right now, even though the anticipated release is about 2 months from now. Seeing how things go, I may be enough of a sucker to get one – the visual improvement is hard to deny, and most of my portable gaming is on a couch anyway, and I'm probably more devoted to Nintendo than I should be or they deserve. But Nintendo getting my business is hardly a mark of success.

It is a rich and fertile land comprised of mountains, lakes, hills and the sea. A land, ancient yet modern, made up of villages, castles, churches, hermitages and shrines. A land that is inviting with its food, wine, art and culture.

Raiders | Oakland struggling on offense
Tue, 17 Oct 2017 11:08:50 -0700
Oakland Raiders QB Derek Carr and the rest of the offense have yet to hit their stride this year. On the season, there have been 42 300-yard passing games, 44 100-yard receiving games and 32 100-yard rushing games by individual players. The Raiders boast zero of those 118 such games.
The struggles of Amari Cooper have been well documented, but it's somewhat of a surprise that Marshawn Lynch and Michael Crabtree have not reached the 100-yard mark in any game. Carr, Lynch, Crabtree and Cooper remain starting options, of course, but don't expect a big breakout in a tough matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs Thursday night.

Some fans were worried after newspapers said that big companies were buying lots of tickets for their adult staff.
But the people in charge of Britain's cinemas told us that there are plenty of seats left - and they're showing the film as often as possible.
A showing every hour
UCI Cinemas said Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone shows will be starting once every hour in most of its cinemas.
It's the same story at Odeon Cinemas, with the film being shown four times a day in most theatres.
The cinemas admit that business bosses are buying lots of tickets, but that the amount is very small compared to the millions still available.

Hi, my name is John Brownhill and I have a confession to make. I'm not very good at sharing my troubles with the world. That was not too difficult and probably lumps me into a very large bracket of people (especially men) who need to admit they are struggling. I have outed myself here as it were and feel all the better for it.
"I had seemingly found my soul mate, I put everything into it. It seemed the struggles before it were all part of a special destiny and that I had finally arrived."
It's only in the last three weeks or so that I have been able to join the dots and finally be at ease with the baggage that I have carried for far too long. Scars that were worn which could have easily been removed. The journey into adulthood saw me retain a fear of showing feelings in public out of fear of ridicule and an ultra-sensitivity to groups of people passing judgement. It all simmered on the surface until a relationship which did not fulfil promise threw my ordered world into chaos. I won't be the first or the last. I had seemingly found my soul mate, the one with which I was allowed to care and yes, that word which is uttered so infrequently, love. I put everything into it, my heart and soul and still remember the sheer joy as it seemed the struggles before it were all part of a special destiny and that I had finally arrived.
"When I finally plucked up the courage to speak to an anonymous support line I was asked by a friendly counsellor if I had cried yet. No was the response …"
I still remember the "it's not you, it's me" and "all this is not what I want" chat which came out of the blue on a seemingly perfect day. The sudden deflation was horrific. I look back and compare it to winning a cup final or getting all six lottery numbers only to be told that the organisers have changed their mind. Thanks for being so plucky but be on your way. It was heartache and a full look at the abyss. There is a horrible feeling of knowing you have given everything and upon review it's just not what the world wants to see. When I finally plucked up the courage to speak to an anonymous support line I was asked by a friendly counsellor if I had cried yet. No was the response, who would listen and it's up to me to sort out. A fatal mistake. My inner joy for life had gone and I felt both judged along with harshly treated. It was a huge hangover that I could not snap out of and little things were beginning to creep in, I showed no interest in my work and started to neglect my appearance. The things I enjoyed in life were no longer relevant. I still remember the dark period December 2008 to June 2009 and the day I hit rock bottom when I explained to a work colleague at the time how I was struggling. She seemed surprised "young men go down the pub have a few beers and pick up another woman. Get over it" was pretty much what she said. That was the point I gave up after wrongly convincing myself that nobody was really listening as it just seemed impossible for anyone else to realise that as a man you do care and feel loss like anyone else.
"There was no Hallelujah moment or golden awakening, a realisation came with my summer pastime of cricket – I had the season of my life… I had found a way to channel all my frustrations."
There was no Hallelujah moment or golden awakening, the picking yourself up journey was slow, laborious and troublesome. My apathy was a real problem and I had to buck my ideas up. A realisation came with my summer pastime of cricket where I had the season of my life in which I scored runs for fun and batted for hours at a time. I was angry and had found a way to channel all my frustrations. This was almost a two fingers to life or a squaring off with the world – one v one – and I made sure I won every time because there was vengeance in my mind.
"I want my experience to highlight to people that the best option is to speak out when life becomes too much. I look back now and wish that I had said something so much sooner"
No matter how much you convince yourself that you are fine, looking back on events makes you realise that trouble still lurked. I always placed great pride in not being "self-obsessed" and to mention my disappointment would have been hypocritical. The feelings of loss, despair, anger etc persisted for months and I was never sure what I was meant to feel. It's only three years down the line that I realise how the self-doubt was holding me back. I still believed in the dreams I wanted to achieve, it was just that I had become too world weary and infected with a jaded cynicism. After finally revealing my ridiculously long held frustration to one or two trusted types, I had the pleasant experience of how life affirming the support of those around you can be. Finally all the layers I had built around myself could be shedded as the extreme disappointment was expelled. I can honestly say now that I have moved on, feel ready to love properly and most of all finally be me. It was just a simple choice of not being scared anymore or remaining in the dark. I'm glad I gambled …
I want my experience to highlight to people that the best option is to speak out when life becomes too much. I look back now and wish that I had said something so much sooner instead of carrying the huge millstone around my neck for so long. There is no weakness in telling those around you that there is a problem. It's finally time to shatter this myth once and for all that men can't speak up – weakness is remaining quiet and I can promise you that I wish that I had opened up a lot, lot sooner.

General Question
Rent or buy video games?
Asked by seekingwolf (10392) December 2nd, 2013
My boyfriend and I plan to get a PS4 after the holidays. We will split the cost together.
We both are the sort to finish games and not pick them up again when done. Except for a few games with a lot of replay value, like GTA or Call of Duty, well, most don't get played a ton when done.
What are your thoughts on using a game rental service? For about $20/month, we could have 2 games out at a time through Game fly. I have used that service before and it's fast and good where I live.
Or is it better to buy games and then sell or trade in? Or rent and then if I really, really, really like a game, I can buy it?

MARYVILLE, Mo. - The Northwest Clay Club will host its annual Spring Art Show and Pottery Sale this weekend at the Fire Arts Building, located south of the Olive Deluce Fine Arts Building at the south end of campus.
The event will be 4 to 8 p.m. Friday, April 23 and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 24.
Students from all studio areas are encouraged to participate in the show and sale, which will offer pottery, sculpture, paintings, drawings, prints and photographs.
The sale is an excellent opportunity to purchase gifts for Mother's Day, weddings and other occasions during the spring and summer. There should be something to fit everyone's taste and budget.
Artworks can be purchased by cash or check, and shoppers are reminded that a line of customers often forms before the show opens.
