Layout Builder is an admin tool which allows you to create layouts that the community can use to create standardized page formats for pages with similar goals, such as character, episode, season, etc. Layouts can be formatted to include dynamic and static attributes, as well as updated at any time.
- The Layout builder in an optional feature that can be turned on or off via Wiki Features. Once it is enabled, the layout builder can be accessed by admins through in a couple of places:
- In the admin dashboard in the Wiki section
- In your My Tools menu on your toolbar
- At Special:LayoutBuilder
- Once you visit the Layout builder, you will be brought to a list all of the existing layouts, from which you can edit, delete or use to create a new page.
Creating a new layoutEdit
- If you do not want to use or edit an existing layout, click on "New layout".
- When creating a new layout, click the "Add item" menu under the text that says "Page Layout Builder."
Your layout will consist of two types of item.
- Static items. This can be just text you write, a photo, gallery, poll or anything else you would normally add to a page. Just add the item as you normally would when creating a page, and it will appear the same on every article generated using that layout.
- Layout items. These will change depending on what a user inputs when creating a page based on your layout, but will appear in the position and format you specify.
- For example, if you want the output to look like "Age: 29" where you want the page creator to input the number, the "Age: " part will be static while the "29" will be a layout item.
- You can add the following layout items:
- Input Box—this is essentially the title of the page. You can enter a name such as "Luke Skywalker" for a character page, or "Smallville season 1" for a season page.
- Image—selecting this will prompt an editor to add an image.
- Paragraph—if this is chosen, an editor will be prompted to add a paragraph where directed. You can add multiple paragraph prompts depending on the type of article the layout is being built for.
- Drop down list—this gives the user a choice of items to add into the article. For example, you can provide the choices of "Male" or "Female" that a user can choose if it is a character article.
- Gallery—allows you to add the option to include a gallery on the page. Be aware that there are some problems with the gallery item, so be cautious when using it.
- The items you choose to include in the layout can be marked as required as you're adding them. For example, if you want to require all editors using the layout to enter in the age of a character (which might be a Dropdown list item) you can mark it as required as you're creating it.
- You can use the formatting tools, such as bold, italic, templates, etc, just as you do when editing a normal page. These can format both static items or layout items.
- On the static tab, you can add formatting, as well as templates. Remember, these will appear on ALL pages created with this layout, and will not be editable by the page creator.
- Once your layout is done, click "Save layout" and it will be live.
- For advanced users, you can use the source mode to add in special tags for a more complicated layout. Learn more here.
Editing a layoutEdit
- To edit a layout, visit the layout builder main page, and click on the edit text under its title. You can edit the layout at any time, and all changes that you make will be applied to all pages using the layout.
Deleting a layoutEdit
- You can delete layout by clicking on the garbage can icon under the layout title.
- Once you have deleted a layout, the pages in that layout will not be deleted, but you will need to edit them to allow for proper formatting. Simply visit the page, click edit, make any small change, and hit save. The page will no longer be controlled by a layout (but you may need some simple formatting updates).

I kicked off the month with my Stegosaurus hat, it's knitted in alpaca chunky yarn and has two sets of spikes running along it. You can find the pattern here!
Next I released my Pterodactyl bag, knitted in a lavender DK with amazing dinosaur patterned lining. I added a chain so I can take it anywhere. Find the pattern here.
I finally got to see the Jurassic World film this week, as I said before I loved it! So how could I resist giving my followers a little treat. Until June the 30th my Diplodocus Scarf pattern is free and all you need to make it is two balls of DK yarn! It's perfect for knitting days in the sun or a holiday project as theres lots of St st. Next week I'm off to the British country side and have already cast on my next scarf design.
Finally I've released my Triceratops kit in red and gold. You can buy the kit here. Keep tuned for my final dinosaur announcement of the month.

It was the best 10 days of my life. It's so much fun and completely unique to anywhere else in the world.
Astonishing. I have not seen crowd reaction like that anywhere in the world . . .
Business has been tough recently, but I close my eyes, think of Barbados, remember the reception we got . . .
This win means more to me than the British Rally championship
Drivers and co-drivers from a record 15 nations, including the host country, have assembled for the Caribbean's biggest annual international motor sport event, Sol Rally Barbados 2010 (May 29/30); the final running order, published on Wednesday (May 26), lists a record 92 starters, promising a fitting celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the inaugural running of the Barbados Rally Club's International All-Stage Rally. Past and present Champions from the wider Caribbean and Europe will face local aces Roger Skeete (Subaru Impreza WRC S12) – a 10-time winner in the event's 20-year history – and Paul Bourne, who is seeded at number one, following his victory in last Sunday's Shell V-Power King of the Hill; Bourne (Ford Focus WRC 07) has also won the island's premier event, twice, in 2003 & '07. Two more former winners are seeded in the top 10, Jamaicans Gary Gregg (Ford Focus WRC 05) and Jeff Panton (Ford Focus WRC 00) - Gregg won in 2006, Panton in 1998; leading the European charge is former UK National Champion Paul Bird (Ford Focus WRC 08), who finished second to Ulsterman Kris Meeke for the past two years. The tussle for two-wheel-drive honours also looks set to be one of the closest in recent years: front-runners Ian Warren (Suzuki Swift), Josh Read (Toyota Starlet) and Mark Hamilton (Ford Escort) are all seeded well inside the top 20 – Warren starts as high as eight – but much of the crowd's attention will be focused on BMW M3 number 27, shared by brothers Barry and Roger Mayers, making a rallying comeback after five years concentrating on circuit racing. Between them, they have claimed seven top 10 finishes, Roger winning (Ford Focus WRC) and Barry (Toyota Starlet) finishing fourth overall and the only two-wheel-drive car in the top 10, in 2005. Sol Rally Barbados Chairman Barry Gale said: "The entry has been oversubscribed for some time now – we actually received 108 entries – but a combination of the worldwide recession and the usual problems of car preparation and incidents reduced the number to 92 by today, when we needed to publish the final list of starters. "In light of this year being the 20th Anniversary of an event which was started by clubman competitors in the island, and has been increasingly supported by clubmen competitors from overseas, we decided that no-one should be excluded from this year's event. We have therefore waived our 90-car maximum, and all 92 confirmed entries will receive competition numbers at tonight's Briefing Meeting and be allowed to start. "While we are delighted to have a record number on our list of starters, the decision was not about the record, but made in the spirit of the way our event has developed and making sure that we continued to support the clubmen who have supported us."Live coverage for Shell V-Power SuperSpecial at Simpson MotorsThe Shell V-Power Super Special at Simpson Motors looks set to provide an even more fitting climax than anticipated to the Barbados Rally Club's 20th Anniversary celebrations of the inaugural running of its International All-Stage Rally, with confirmation today that there will be live coverage of every run broadcast on the Giant Daylight Screen. The screen will be sited in the grounds of Collins Ltd, close to the finish of the roughly one-kilometre stage, which winds through the grounds of Simpson Motors from the start near H & B Hardware. Merville Lynch Productions will capture all the action from four camera positions, accompanied by live commentary. Debbie Simpson said: "We are extremely happy to partner with the Barbados Rally Club once again, and hope this extra effort will help the Club's anniversary celebrations end with an event to remember, viewed via the Daylight Screen which has become an important element of motor sport in Barbados. "I must also thank Merville Lynch Productions, Crane & Equipments and Williams Equipment for their generous technical support, and Collins Ltd for letting us park the crane to 'fly' the screen on its land. The Super Special at Simpson Motors promises to be very exciting and we encourage all spectators to follow the instructions of the marshals and officials to ensure their safety." The Shell V-Power SuperSpecial at Simpson Motors will run twice, the first run scheduled for 4.20pm; maps detailing spectator parking and viewing areas will be published in the print media on Friday, and will also be available as a pdf downloand from the spectator section of the official web site, www.rallybarbados.bb.Sol Rally Barbados 2010 – final running order statistics+ 92 crews entered+ drivers or co-drivers from 15 nations, including Barbados+ 20 four-wheel-drive cars, including eight World Rally Cars+ 16 drivers or co-drivers from the wider Caribbean+ 36 International drivers or co-drivers+ 17 female co-drivers+ cars from 18 manufacturers, Toyota (19) and Ford (18) the best representedSol Rally Barbados 2010 (May 29/30) and Shell V-Power King of the Hill (May 23) are organised by the Barbados Rally Club, which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2007; title sponsor is the Sol Group.

Crossout - Immortal Warrior
That night Feodor was turning exactly 100 years old. But he did not know that himself since he was in a coma for months, tangled in wires and tubes, watching an endless dream where he was young, full of strength and hate sitting at the helm of a T-34. Just one last tank to destroy and I'm done, well, maybe one more… And death continued to pass him by.. When the life-support system shut down, the lights went out and no one came, Feodor opened his eyes. He got up from his hospital bed, walked slowly through the corridors littered with debris and bodies into a courtyard, that had always reminded him of a parade ground, and then he laughed. His body was full of energy once again, and there was a whole world around, and his hands missing levers and triggers. He was called Tankman. For his love of tracked vehicles and big guns. And for hatred of everything else.

The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs, located against the back muscles in the upper abdominal cavity just below the rib cage, one on each side of the spine. The kidneys detoxify the blood and aid the body in filtering out waste products through urine.
Another primary function of the kidneys is to remove excess water from the body. They also help retain water when the body needs more.
Moreover, the kidneys help regulate the levels of minerals like calcium and phosphate in the body. They also produce important hormones that help regulate body functions like blood pressure and making of red blood cells to carry oxygen and important nutrients throughout the body.
To stay healthy, it is essential to keep the kidneys functioning properly. Some common symptoms that can indicate kidney problems are a change in color and quantity of your urine, dizziness, vomiting, anemia, breathing issues, feeling cold most of the time, tiredness or fatigue, itchy skin, bad breath and sudden pain in the body.
If you experience any of these symptoms, consult your doctor to rule out the possibility of kidney disease.
There are many reasons behind kidney problems. However, many habits that people adopt can also cause huge damage to their kidneys.
Here are the top 10 common habits that damage your kidneys.
1. Not Emptying Your Bladder Timely
Maintaining a full bladder for a long time or delaying the urge to urinate is one of the main reasons behind kidney damage.
When urine remains in the bladder for a long time, it can cause the bacteria breeding in urine to multiply. In turn, these harmful bacteria can cause a urinary tract infection or kidney infection. Moreover, retaining urine increases pressure on the kidneys and can lead to renal failure and incontinence.
If you habitually delay responding to the call of nature, it's time to rectify it for the benefit of your kidneys. No matter how busy you are, listen to the nature call signals and follow them.

How to be safer: Use a new condom for every partner or orifice. Wash toys after (and/or before) use. Safest: Keep a separate toy for each partner and yourself.
Cleaning sex toys: Porous toys (made from jelly, rubber, PVC, vinyl, or Cyberskin) can be cleaned (with soap and water) but not completely disinfected. Always use a condom with porous toys. Nonporous toys (made from silicone, acrylic, glass or metal) can be disinfected:
- Silicone: hot water and anti-bacterial soap, sex toy cleaner, diluted bleach solution (10:1 water-to-bleach), boiled for 5-10 minutes
- Acrylic: hot water and anti-bacterial soap, diluted bleach solution (dry with soft cloth, paper towel can scratch them)
- Glass: hot water and anti-bacterial soap, diluted bleach solution, alcohol
- Metal and other materials: see manufacturer's instructions.
- Make sure that DIY sex toys are safe by ensuring they are not brittle, do not have sharp edges and are able to be cleaned easily and often

Movable Type permissions changing to 666
When you first install Movable Type on your server, you will need to edit the home.html permissions and add code to the mt-config.cgi. If you skip this step you will get many "Internal Server errors" on your site.
Fixing the Permissions in Movable Type
Movable Type by default forces all the file permissions to be 666 for the pages. Even if you manually change the permissions on the server, Movable Type will automatically change the permissions back to 666. When files have 666 permissions on suEXEC or CGIwrap server, an "Internal Server Error" will be thrown. This article will explain how to fix the permissions in your Movable Type program.
- Login into your cPanel.
- Go to the File Manager. Select your Movable Type directory and click Go.
- Change the permissions of the home.html file from 666 to 644.
Save the file.
- Go to your cgi-bin/mt-config.cgi file and edit it. Add the following code to the end of the file.
DBUmask 0022 HTMLUmask 0022 UploadUmask 0022 DirUmask 0022
Important! Movable Type will not reset the permissions from 666 to 644 automatically. You will need to set the permissions manually on the server initially. After that, the file permissions will be saved correctly.
Save the changes
Now when you create new pages and you edit the home.html page, you will not get the "Internal Server Error". Pages created from here on will all have the 644 permissions.

Voters across the country go to the polls for midterm congressional elections Tuesday, but voters in just 10 states will decide the most important result.
Close races in those 10—Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia. Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, New Hampshire and North Carolina—will determine whether Republicans or Democrats hold the U.S. Senate for the final two years of President Barack Obama's term. That matters not only for the fate of legislation on topics such as trade, infrastructure and energy, but also on Obama's ability to win confirmation of top administration officials and judges who would outlast his presidency.

Original maps produced by Smithisonian Cartographer, Dan G. Cole for the Handbook of North American Indians (vol 7)
Indigenous names and meanings researched by Native Cartographer, Aaron Carapella
War data parsed from Legends of America
Treaty data parsed from Indian Affairs: Laws and Treaties archived by Oklahoma State University
Created by Wayne Booth Marci firstname.lastname@example.com
Settler colonialism, genocide and imperialism are often normalized in U.S. ideologies. Shift, Indian Country's Changing Landscape offers a reversal of those ideologies into decolonial data-visualizations. Data of and from the Indigenous peoples of the area now known as the U.S. constitute Shift. Vine Deloria Jr., a Native scholar defines true liberation as "chang[ing] the way that Western peoples think, the way they collect data, which data they gather, and how they arrange that information." Shift visualizes Indigenous data-sets (population, land area, wars, and treaties from 1400-2016) into an immersive and colossal, yet intuitive display to re-teach American history.

Regular readers will know that I have real difficulty with marketing and promotion. Well, recent experiences have taught me it needn't be so.
Rather than bore you with repetition here, let me direct you to my guest post on that popular writing blog, Writers' Village, where you'll find a short tale of my conversion to Marketing Master (that, of course, is a spot of hyperbole, but there is some stuff on there that might help you if you've been having the same concerns as me about marketing).

In the United States the rise of Donald Trump in the Republican primary has surprised many. Though there is still some uncertainty over whether Trump will win a majority of delegates, he is all but certain to enter the Republican convention with more delegates that remaining candidates Ted Cruz and John Kasich. Trump's rise, however, is not unprecedented. Anti-immigrant nationalist parties have been gaining support across the developed world. Far-right parties across Western Europe, including in Austria, Denmark, the Netherlands, and France are all taking significant shares of the vote in parliamentary and presidential elections. In Switzerland the anti-immigrant Swiss People's Party (SVP) has won more seats than any other party in the last three elections. Trump's success in the Republican primary mirrors the rise of the far-right in Western Europe. Both his rhetoric and the share of the vote that he has won are very similar to the rhetoric and vote share of Western European far-right parties.
Trump's policies and rhetoric are very similar to the policy and rhetoric of other far-right parties. Like most of the European far-right, he takes extreme anti-immigrant positions and defends them with strong and largely offensive rhetoric. His claims that immigration leads to crime and unemployment echo similar claims by parties such as the Dutch Party for Freedom or the Swiss SVP. When it comes to globalization and trade, his concerns about free trade are very similar to the concerns that many far-right parties, particularly the UK Independence Party (UKIP), express over European integration and the European Union. Additionally, like most of the European far-right, Trump does not take extreme right economic positions. Although he favours large and likely unfeasible tax cuts, he is also unique as a Republican who opposes cuts to social security or medicare. In doing so Trump is trying to court anti-immigrant nationalist voters on both the right and the left of the economic political spectrum. This is not unlike efforts made by parties such as the French Front National and Sweden Democrats to do the same. In 2010 a Sweden Democrat ad that was banned from television for its racism, tried to suggest that Swedes had a choice between accepting Muslim immigrant and providing adequate funding for retirement pensions. Finally, like much of the the far-right, Trump's success is built on his personal appeal. The identification of Trump with the far-right is not unlike the high profile that Pim Fortuyn, Geert Wilders, and Marine Le Pen had as leaders of far-right movements in the Netherlands and France. The Sweden Democrats were so reliant on their leader Jimmie Åkesson that he had to take sick leave as a result of exhaustion after the 2014 election. Trump's campaign for the Republican nomination, thus, looks a lot like the campaigns of far-right parties in Europe.
Given the similarities between Trump's and European far-right parties' campaigns, it is worth comparing Trump's poll support to far-right parties' vote support. The graph below shows Trump's late March poll numbers along with the trend in support for a number of far-right parties in Western Europe. To estimate Trump's support I multiplied the support that the Trump has been receiving in national level polls (found at Real Clear Politics) by the number of individuals identifying as at least leaning Republican (found in this Gallup poll). This is not a perfect measure, but it provides a ball-park estimate of the level of support that Trump has within the broader American electorate. It is better than estimates of hypothetical races between Trump and Clinton or Trump and Sanders because those polls compare only two candidates, and most European far-right parties run against multiple parties. A primary where Trump has to compete with moderate Republicans as well as with Democrats is a closer approximation of the electoral circumstances of far-right parties than polls examining a hypothetical Presidential contest between Trump and either Clinton or Sanders. A list of parties with their acronyms and the country they are from is also included below the graph.
The graph shows that Trump's support falls in line with the general rise in far-right party support occurring across Western Europe. The estimated 17.2% of national support that Trump has is right on the trend line for far-right support, very close to the level of support that the True Finns won in the most recent Finnish election. His support is higher than support for parties such as the Sweden Democrats and UK Independence party, but is lower than for the Danish People's Party and the Swiss People's Party. Trump's appeal to American voters is no greater than the appeal of many far-right parties to Western European voters. Trump does do better than the Western European far-right parties have when he is paired against either Clinton or Sanders in a hypothetical Presidential race. This suggests that Trump may be able to use the Republican brand to gain support that extends beyond the far-right parties in Europe have, and may as a result make him a greater electoral threat than most of Western European far-right parties.
Trump is not original, and his success should not be surprising. It fits into a disturbing trend of growing support for far-right anti-immigrant parties and candidates that is occurring across Western countries. He is capitalizing on concerns over immigration and disaffection with elites on the right on the political spectrum in much the same way that far-right parties across Western Europe are. Given that there is a vote block willing to support the far-right in most countries it should not be surprising to see a Republican candidate for President running such a campaign. The similarities between Trump and the European far-right also suggest that it is likely that the United States will see candidates like Trump in the future, even if he loses this election. Trump has demonstrated that there is a far-right anti-immigrant voting block in the United States that is as capable of sustaining a far-right candidate as many of the far-right groups of voters in Western Europe are.
It is important to note, however, that the electoral and party institutions in the United States will treat Trump as very differently than most Western European electoral institutions treat far-right parties. The fact that the United States is a two party system with primaries gives Trump a unique opportunity to co-opt a major party and launch a Presidential bid that takes advantage of that parties' resources and its brand. The 17% of the vote that Trump has nationally would not make him much more of a contender for power than his Western European counter-parts, but it does make him competitive in primaries. 40-45% of the support of Republican voters is enough to win a primary even if that equates to only 17%-25% of the American electorate nationally. This means that, unlike many of the Western European far-right parties, Trump can co-opt one of the existing major parties in American politics and use its resources and brand in order to grow his support. Few far-right parties or candidates in Western Europe have the ability to co-opt a party like the Republican party and use its resources to try to win power. The far-right Front National managed to make it to a run-off in the 2002 French Presidential election, but in that race it was competing against a well-established centre-right Rally for the Republic. As a result, the Front National lost the run-off in a landslide. The polling comparing Trump to hypothetical Clinton or Sanders Democratic campaigns suggests that Trump could use the Republican party to expand his support well beyond the support won by most Western European far-right parties. The American primary system may, as a result, makes American politics more vulnerable to a far-right challenge than the Western European multi-party and largely parliamentary systems are. This may have very troubling implications for the future of far-right anti-immigrant politics in the United States.

Nearing the end of 2010, I began writing a series of tax articles for the State Bar of Wisconsin's Inside Track electronic news letter. The first concerned tax audits and can be read here. The second article discusses the practical and procedural aspects of an IRS tax appeal.
The discussion on appeals considers the different routes to the IRS Appeals Division and differences in how a case is viewed by appeals officers and the appeals division. The appeals article can be read here.

A latex is a natural rubber which is produced from a tree called Hevea Brasiliensis. By perforation of laticifers, the latex flows down the tree into the collection containers. The latex has very good tensile properties and tear resistance but has poor resistance to ozone, oxygen, sunlight and heat. The protein in the latex can sometimes cause an allergic reaction when used by some people. But thanks to its tear resistance it is still used for a such nice latex dresses, in medicine, as balloons or as condoms.

Ma chi è sta rosina?
Making a Short Putt
Always play all balls out to the end, never allow your partners or opponents to concede a short putt to you, ping k15 irons while it is a gentlemanly move, it can hurt your game in the end.
By playing all balls through the putt you are developing short-putt confidence and strengthening your nerve.
You can use this to your advantage by conceding shots to you partners and opponents early in the game, ping g15 irons then requiring that all putts be carried through towards the end.
This creates a false sense of confidence in them in the beginning, and they suddenly have to start hitting putts at a time when they are so crucial.

Welcome to the new academic year in the FAU Libraries. For those of you who are new to FAU, we invite you to discover our spaces, our collections, and the services offered by our welcoming, professional faculty and staff at three different locations: Boca Raton, Jupiter, and Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute. For students in Davie and Fort Lauderdale, our partnerships with Broward County and Broward College provide you direct access to library spaces and materials, in addition to being able to use all of the collections and services available to all FAU students and faculty at the FAU-run branch libraries.
For those of you who are returning, you will see that we have been busy while you were away for the summer.
In the Wimberly Library on the Boca Raton campus, we have made some changes you will see as soon as you walk in the door, as well as others that might take you a little longer to discover. As you enter the Wimberly Library, you'll be struck by the shiny new flooring (getting rid of the ancient green carpeting) that transformed the concrete underneath into a gleaming surface that makes you think you're walking on water.
Directly in front of you as you enter the Wimberly Library is the new single service desk. We have removed the old Reference Desk and have discontinued the use of the old Circulation Desk, replacing both of them with a single desk where you can check out books, learn how to use the catalog, get help accessing our electronic journals or databases, pick up a key for a study room, or get detailed reference and research assistance. The goal is for everyone to be able to get connected to help for everything in one place. This is the first phase of a more comprehensive redesign of the first floor that will open up more individual and group seating and increase access to help and newer technology.
You will see several new charging stations in Wimberly that were provided by Student Government to allow you to charge your mobile devices easily and securely.
Still to come in the spot where the old Reference Desk was will be a new, improved workspace for assistive technology (ADA workstations). This new space will be more central and also provide privacy for students with disabilities. Some of the specialized software and equipment available will include Dragon Naturally Speaking, Kurzweil 3000, JAWS for Windows, ZoomText,Dolphin Easy Reader, Plustek Book Reader V100 Scanner, and the SmartView Xtend video magnifier. We also have available for check out the Eschenbach Electronic Magnifying Glass and the Victor Reader Stream (New Generation). Until the new space is completed, students should check at the Single Service Desk for the location of the equipment and software.
Another improvement can be seen in the group study rooms in Wimberly. The upper walls have been repainted with special paint that can be written on like white boards. In addition, a project funded by the Student Technology Fee will soon be completed to provide new monitors in the group study rooms that will easily connect to the network. Both of these changes should greatly enhance the functionality of the study rooms. In the past two years, we have also increased the number of group study rooms available for checkout by twenty per cent – from twenty-five to thirty.
Graduate students and College of Medicine students will be pleased to discover that there is now a group study room (available for checkout at the front service desk on the first floor) in the spacious Graduate Student Lounge that was opened last year.
The crowning jewel for the fall semester is the new multi-purpose space on the fifth floor of the Wimberly Library. In the early summer, we finished phase one of the fifth floor renovation, opening up an entire floor that had previously only been accessible to staff or for special events. We have added over 100 seats for individual and group study, with all kinds of spaces and furniture to meet a wide variety of needs. The floor is an open conversation area but there are many spots where people can study quietly, aided by the privacy screens that surround many seating areas.
The Wi-Fi has been enhanced on the fifth floor, as well. With lots of natural lighting and comfortable seating, the floor has quickly become a favorite gathering and study place for everyone. The furniture is designed to be easily moved so that we can host lectures and presentations at times when students will not be disrupted. Funding for this renovation was granted by President John Kelly. When you come to the floor, take a minute to write a "thank you" card to let President Kelly know how much you appreciate his support.
Another coming change to the Wimberly Library is a planned Serenity Lounge, a non-denominational space that will be open to members of the FAU community with an Owl Card who are seeking a quiet place to pray or meditate. This new space will supplement the space that is currently available in the Office of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs . The room is also the most recent manifestation of the FAU Libraries' commitment to diversity and inclusion, articulated strongly in our Diversity & Inclusion Statement. We hope to have this room ready for use by the middle of September.
Led by Director Ethan Allen, the faculty and staff of the MacArthur Library in Jupiter are devoted to providing exceptional service to Jupiter faculty and students.
Director of the HBOI Library, Pamela Alderman, assisted one day a week by the MacArthur Library's Assistant Director Leah Plocharczyk, applies innovative thinking to provide outstanding service to the researchers and students who have their home base at Harbor Branch.
The FAU Libraries are here to serve all the students and faculty of FAU, regardless of their field of study, their physical location, or their backgrounds. We are on the move, constantly evaluating our spaces, our collections, and our services. There will be many new exhibits, programs, and events at the Libraries this year. We encourage everyone to come check things out, provide us feedback, and use our services, either physically or virtually, to ensure your academic success as a member of the FAU community.
Welcome to FAU!

BBC News - Iraq: US troops' first fatality-free month since 2003: "August was the first month since the US-led invasion in 2003 that no US soldiers were killed in Iraq.
An independent group, icasualties.org, has displayed the statistics for August on its website, which tracks US fatalities in Iraq every month.
US Col Douglas Crissman said it showed how far Iraqi security forces had come.
Figures for Iraqi civilian and security forces deaths in August are not yet available, but the month has seen major attacks with substantial loss of life."

The saints are the mad-lovers of Jesus; they were on earth and now are in heaven loving God for all eternity. In this article, we will give a list of what some saints have said in an excess of love for the most Holy Eucharist. Then we will give ten keys to unlock the treasure-case of gems to love the Eucharist more in our lives! Let us read and meditate on the fire of the saints and the Eucharist:
- "Holy Communion is the shortest and the safest way to Heaven." (St. Pius X)
- "If the angels could be jealous of men, they would be for one reason: Holy Communion." (St. Maximilian Kolbe)
- "In one day the Eucharist will make you produce more for the glory of God than a whole lifetime without it." (St. Peter Julian Eymard)
- "How I love the feasts!… I especially loved the processions in honor of the Blessed Sacrament. What a joy it was for me to throw flowers beneath the feet of God!… I was never so happy as when I saw my roses touch the sacred Monstrance." (St. Therese the Little Flower)
- "When you look at the Crucifix, you understand how much Jesus loved you then. When you look at the Sacred Host you understand how much Jesus loves you now." (Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta)
- "From the Eucharist comes strength to live the Christian life and zeal to share that life with others." (St. John Paul II)
- "This is the bread of everlasting life which supports the substance of your soul." (St. Ambrose)
- "The longer you stay away from Communion, the more your soul will be weak, and in the end you will become dangerously indifferent." (St. John Bosco)
- "The Eucharist is the consummation of the whole spiritual life." (St. Thomas Aquinas)
Now let us dive into ten golden keys that can open up the infinite treasure house of jewels so as to derive countless graces and blessings from Jesus' greatest Gift to the entire world: Holy Mass and Holy Communion, His Body, Blood Soul and Divinity!
Faith. Beg the Lord for a greater faith in the sublime mystery of the most Holy Eucharist. Let us say with the Apostles Saint Thomas: "My Lord and my God." Let us also so the prayer of the man of the Gospel: "Lord I believe but strengthen my faith!"
Visit. Make it a habit to visit the most Blessed Sacrament as often as is possible. Hopefully when we die Jesus will not reproach us with these words: "Whenever I see a church I stop to make a visit so that when I die the Lord will not say: "Who is it!" Friends meet to chat, talk, and enjoy each other's company; so should we, in visiting and talking frequently to Jesus.
Spiritual Communion. Highly recommended by St. Alphonsus Liguouri as well as Pope Benedict XVI in his document "Sacramentum Caritatis" is the frequent practice of the Spiritual Communion. It can be done in a simple manner and as often as your heart desires. You can say the simple prayer: "Jesus I believe that you are truly present in the Tabernacle in your Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. Now I cannot receive you sacramentally but come at least spiritually into my heart." Then enter into your heart and thank, praise and love the Lord who has come spiritually into your soul. This can fan the flame of love for our Eucharistic Lord.
Read John 6. The Gospel of John chapter six has three parts: Jesus multiples the loaves, walks on water, and then He gives a sublime discourse related to the Eucharist; actually it is a Eucharistic prophecy. Best known as the "Bread of life discourse", Jesus promises to give us the Bread of Life. Also Jesus points out in no unclear terms that our immortal salvation depends upon our eating His Body and drinking His Blood, which obviously refers to Holy Communion. Read and meditate this powerful chapter!
Fifteen Minutes. Years ago there was published a small booklet with the title "The fifteen minutes". It is a little gem where Jesus encourages the reader to enter into simple but profound conversation with Him. Basically Jesus wants to be our Best Friend and challenges us to open up the secret mysteries of our heart to Him and only He can truly understand the inner secrets, wounds and mysteries in our heart. Read and pray through this booklet if possible in front of the Blessed Sacrament!
Holy Hour. Get into the habit of making a daily Holy Hour in front of the most Blessed Sacrament. It will transform your life if you persevere in the practice. The Great Servant of God, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, who made his Holy Hour faithfully for more than fifty years, called it THE HOUR OF POWER!

|I am thinking of suicide too often, please help!!
Jun 25, 2001
I know you probably hate "am I infected qestions". I just can seem to get anyone to help me. All my Dr's think I'm not infected with HIV, but my mulitple symptoms don't make any sense.
Here's my story (in short version)...
Exposed early Dec. 2000, while kissing someone I didn't know well enough I tasted blood in his mouth. I started freaking out a few days later. My symptoms started with vaginal burning which eventually turned out to be bacterial infection. At about 9 weeks, I developed a pretty bad sinus infection and swollen glands on my neck,groin and elbows, severe sore throat, skin rash on arms and legs and thick white stuff mostly on the back of my tongue. This has all lasted through month 6.
Following tests have been done:
Elisa every 30 days to 6 month mark (Negative)
Chiron bDNA <50 @ 22 weeks.
P24 Antigen @ 20 weeks.
CD4 is 1,314 CD8 is 496 CD4/CD8 ratio is 2.6
What is going on with me? Could I possible have a strain not detected by these assays.
I was also told by someone that is person whom I was exposed to has HIV. He refuses to give me any results or even speak to me about it and has since moved from my area. I think he is bisexual and travels out of the country to Europe a few times a year.
I'm desperate for answers as all I can do is cry and pray as this not only affects me but my 2 beautiful children whom I dearly love and cherish. I do not want them exposed to me if I have this disease. They deserve a normal life, not a mother who will carry a transmittable disease and die in front of them suffering!
I would rather die now and spare my children any risk of catching it or even just living with someone who will be sick for life.
Very desperate for someone to help me!!!
Response from Dr. Feinberg
You do not have HIV. If this doesn't give you peace of mind, then please see a mental health professional as soon as possible. Good luck!
Re: other viruses
Is HIV airborne and how long it takes to detect?

The revival of classical learning during the Renaissance prompted European scholars and educators to write treatises on the ancient arts of persuasion and eloquence. Now modern students of rhetoric, linguistics, etymology, speech, and the history of languages can take advantage of these materials through this collection of works published between 1500 and 1900.
Of the 117 works reproduced, approximately two-thirds are British rhetorics written in English or Latin, while the remaining one-third representing the continental rhetorical tradition are written in Latin, French, or Italian.
Compiled in the 1950s by the Speech Association of America, this collection emphasizes the elocutionary aspects of rhetoric and will therefore primarily interest students and researchers in speech and debate. Among works of this type are manuals on public speaking such as John Henley's The art of speaking in publick: or an essay on the action of an orator; as to his pronunciation and gesture. Useful in the Senate or theatre, the court, the camp, as well as the bar and pulpit (1727).
Scholars in linguistics will discover rich resources in such early grammar books and studies of language as:
As the study of rhetoric becomes increasingly more important to writing teachers, they can enhance their programs with such early works on the teaching of writing as John Walker's The Teacher's Assistant in English Composition (1808). And linguistics scholars and historians of education can mine this collection for early textbooks in both Latin and vernacular languages.

Toy Fair photo totals Saturday's photo total - 511 Sunday's photo total - 444 Monday's photo total - 469 Tuesday's… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
So much to write about this week! YAY! Let's start with one of my favorite subjects though, bad journalism.
You all know I must be talking about the Newsweek article that reportedly led to 15 deaths in riots in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Now, Newsweek is retracting the story, and commenting on the why of what happened. The most important part is:
Two weeks ago, in our issue dated May 9, Michael Isikoff and John Barry reported in a brief item in our Periscope section that U.S. military investigators had found evidence that American guards at the detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, had committed infractions in trying to get terror suspects to talk, including in one case flushing a Qur'an down a toilet. Their information came from a knowledgeable U.S. government source, and before deciding whether to publish it we approached two separate Defense Department officials for comment. One declined to give us a response; the other challenged another aspect of the story but did not dispute the Qur'an charge.
I really am not going to comment on the subject of the original story, that is for everyone to figure out their feelings on their own. What I am commenting on though is the journalistic ethics on display here.
First mistake – They had one source on this story. They took a no comment, and a comment on another section of the article, but not the Qur'an portion as a confirmation. That is a weak, weak basis to a story. On a story of this magnitude you do not run it without at least two confirmations. This is a story with the ability to set major actions in motion, and it did, but they ran it with one anonymous source. Yes, good chance they knew the source, good for them, it will still a major accusation with only one confirmed source, that is just a bad choice for any writer.
Second mistake – Read this portion
"Last Friday, a top Pentagon spokesman told us that a review of the probe cited in our story showed that it was never meant to look into charges of Qur'an desecration. The spokesman also said the Pentagon had investigated other desecration charges by detainees and found them "not credible." Our original source later said he couldn't be certain about reading of the alleged Qur'an incident in the report we cited, and said it might have been in other investigative documents or drafts. Top administration officials have promised to continue looking into the charges, and so will we. But we regret that we got any part of our story wrong, and extend our sympathies to victims of the violence and to the U.S. soldiers caught in its midst."
Well, your source now wavers, never a good thing, but the biggest insult? One sentence. One lousy sentence for 15 lives killed over something that could never be 100% confirmed without a doubt. "But we regret that we got any part of our story wrong, and extend our sympathies to victims of the violence and to the U.S. soldiers caught in its midst." Just look at that sentence. It is empty…meaningless. It should read something more to the effect of:
We at Newsweek deeply regret the violence that our lazy, lackluster reporting skills caused. We will no longer run a story based on one source and assume lack of comment does not constitute a confirmation. And the writer of the article, Michael Isikoff, will be made to pay for his screw up.
Oh yeah, did I mention no discipline is planned for the writer, Michael Isikoff ? Well none is planned. Nope, apparently you are no longer punished when you fail your job miserably and cost 15 people their lives. Good to know.
It is time for the media to stop being concerned with who gets a story out first/ I would much rather have accurate reporting that results in no deaths thank you!

The Smartest Massage/ Spa Therapist
(Ang Pinaka-Matalinong Massage/ Spa Therapist)
I would like to share a story about four people flying in a small airline plane going for a vacation. Itong small airline plane na ito has four passengers inside: may pilot, may minister and two young women, one of whom graduated on top of her class as a summa cum laude in a prestigious massage and spa school.
As they were flying, the pilot turned to his three passengers and said, "We are having engine trouble, I have a bad news and worse news, which would you like to hear first?" They all agreed to the bad news first. "The bad news is", the pilot continued "we are having mechanical trouble, the plane's going down and we will surely crash. The worse news is we only have three parachutes in the cabin and there are four of us".
The pilot started to reason out "I have a wife and two small children, I am sorry but I am going to have to take one parachute" and without any hesitation, he grabbed one of the parachutes and jumped out of the plane.
The summa cum laude, immediately spoke, "I have been voted the graduate most likely to succeed in my spa school and have been honored as top of my class. I am sorry but I might be the one to come up with a cure for fibromyalgia through massage, who knows? I might even be the one to solve the economic problems of the industry." With that said, the top graduate grabbed the second parachute and jumped.
The minister then spoke and said to the remaining young woman, who unusually remained calm, "Young lady, you take the last parachute, I have made my peace with God and I am willing to go down with the plane and die. Now take the last parachute and go before it's too late."
"Relax, Reverend" replied the young woman, "the top graduate, the one voted most likely to succeed jumped out of the plane with my knapsack. We have two parachutes left for the two of us."
Lesson? A lot of young people think they are pretty smart especially if they came from reputable schools with high honors and adulation from people. But what they do not understand is that in this industry as in all the others, many things are to be learned, not in the massage table or in the spa lecture rooms but in the streets called life especially in the work place.
Like the top graduate, these smart people as they see themselves, jump out into the world without parachutes. They think they know it all, and they start pushing their way around to the point of hurting people and they will soon crash….because what they have is only a knapsack and not a real parachute.
It is okay if we are passionate at what we do, but if we, the younger generations started criticizing older generations or people just to impress others on how brilliant or talented we are, or we act on impulse at hindi tayo nagiisip bago magsalita then we start to recklessly hurt other people. In the long term, we are also hurting ourselves. Because believe it or not, the value we give to other people, is the value we give to ourselves. So relax and take it easy…..
Take time to study, analyze, keep your opinion to yourself, sabi nga sa isang lumang kasabihan na ang latang walang laman, pagulungin mo sa lansangan mas maingay pa daw sa batingaw (there is an old saying that an empty can sounds the loudest). Be tactful in saying things and pray before you react. Although siyempre minsan talaga gustong gusto mo ng mag react di ba? (Of course, sometimes you cannot help but react or defend yourself) As humans, we would always choose the way which has the least resistance. Sometimes, ito yung pag sasalita ng walang pakundangan kaya nga minsan mas gusto ko yung nag susulat kasi I can erase and edit eh yung salita? Pag nasabi mo na hindi mo na maibabalik. (Sometimes these are the words that we hurl to another person and sometimes, it is better to write because when you write something you can erase and edit while a hurtful word cannot be taken back). Kaya mas masakit sa aking palagay yung salitang isinulat or idinaan sa letter kasi may time pa tayong mag isip isip bago natin matapos ito di ba at magbago ng isip? BUT of course, if done in good taste, we should be open for a little nudge or reminder. Mas maganda siguro kung love letters ang sinusulat natin sa kapwa…hehe….(It would be better if we can write instead a love letter….)
In the massage and spa business industry, I also learned that there is a time for everything Ecclesiastes 3:1-15. There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven. There is a time to speak and correct. Naniniwala ka ba na ang Diyos ang author ng time? (Do you believe that God is the author of time?) Siyempre, if you believe that God is the author of time, then you would trust him for the right time wouldn't you? God is never a second too early or a second too late. God is always right on time because He is perfect.
I remember that when Fortune Magazine asked the Chief Executive Officers of many Fortune 500 companies what they consider the most important qualities for hiring and promoting their staff. Do you know what the unanimous answer was? Its their attitude especially of integrity and trustworthiness. Hindi pinag uusapan kung saan ka grumaduate (we are not talking here where you graduated). It is not your technical skills, knowledge, education and work experience that matters. But the good-old fashioned attitude. The qualities that God wants us to emulate from Him.
After more than eight years in this industry, I have come to realize that an inexperienced worker with a track record of loving his work and impeccable attitude of work ethics is much more preferable than a brilliant employee who graduated with high honors from a top university with questionable ethics. If I were to choose only one, I would rather hire for the attitude rather than the credentials.
Ang problema lang sa work ethics and attitude (the problem with work ethics and attitude)…..is that there is no school for them. The only thing we can do to achieve that is to surrender our lives to Christ and let Him lead our way. Even management experts agree that your attitude towards your work, determines the outcome of your work. Our attitude determines our future.
We would often encounter classified ads that says they are looking for someone with a bachelor's degree, someone who graduated from well-known universities, with pleasing personality, a Licensed or Certified Massage/ Spa Therapist, hard-working, talented, ambitious, proficient in oral and written English and so on and so forth. Although these are very good qualities, no doubt about that, but they are not the most important qualities to look for. Mas maganda kung meron ka ng magagandang credentials mabuti ka pang tao. Talagang nakaka bless. Double blessing ika nga. Believe me, we need more of those people today more than ever before. I think if attitude and values are stressed more in our massage and spa schools today, less and less problems will be faced by spa owners and operators regarding staff attitude and lesser incidences of back biting, rumor mongering and lower percentage of staff turn-over. Because everyone will be looking out for each other's benefit and not to each his own.
In Japan, managers and supervisors are not hired based on their education, abilities or skills. They were hired based on their mutual obligation to teach and train their staff. So Japanese managers devote 20-30% of their time developing the potential of their staff. If we are neglecting to look into the applicant's passion to learn, to teach what he/she knows to the staff, we will have stunted growth in our spa, massage clinic or wellness center. Training should not stop with skills. It is a continuous process. If we will only train people in skills, the result is a pool of graduates who are bright, very good with massage and spa skills and educated in theory but who are individualistic, selfish, unable or unwilling to be a team player. Gusto lagi kanya-kanya. Para sa kanila…. Akin, ako…yun ang mahalaga…..(For them, I, me and myself are what is important). The hard truth is, kaya nagkakagulo sa spa dahil ang daming ayaw mag patalo. (That is why the spa human resources sometimes experiences chaos because nobody wants to give way). Everyone wants to have his or her own way.
The height of achievement in Japan is for the manager or supervisor is the promotion of his/her staff to a position higher than his/hers. Take note ha….higher than the manager or supervisor. There is a special ceremony pa nga to celebrate the occasion, and the celebration's center of attention is not the one who got promoted but the supervisor or manager that made the promotion possible. There is a spirit of self-sacrifice at work within the framework of the corporate organization.
Ang totoong leader is someone who is willing to share their knowledge to develop people to the point of letting others surpass him in knowledge and ability. Effective leadership is always being a servant first and it does not come for just a year or two. It comes with years and years of persistence and hard work and believing in yourself and your people. One day at a time. The fruit of one's labor does not come only after two months or a year, it comes in years and even decades of persistence. So there is still a lot to learn and to accomplish out there and we have only scratched the tip of the iceberg. We have to be sure we are hanging on to a parachute not a knapsack.
We know already that we are an effective servant if we are willing, at any moment, to receive from others and to learn from others.
Are we helping because we want to get something? Are we are helping even if we are not getting any monetary rewards? It is always a pleasure to give than to receive. But, we cannot give what we don't have so we have to cultivate ourselves first before others. Even in an emergency inside an airplane, one should place the oxygen mask first to himself/herself before placing the other oxygen mask to a child di ba? Simply because you cannot help another person if you, yourself are also helpless.
When we also did or said something, we should be quick to apologize. It is said that the three most neglected words and the difficult things to say are: I am sorry, I love you and Thank you. So let us start practicing to use them more.
We are not perfect but we can make a difference.
To conclude, here is a song that I found very timely from Noel Cabangon (or is that a K?) entitled Ako'y Isang Mabuting Pilipino (I am a Good Filipino):
Akoy isang mabuting Pilipino (I am a good Filipino citizen)Minamahal ko ang bayan ko ( I love my country)Tinutupad ko ang aking mga tungkulin (I accomplish my duties and responsibilities) Sinusunod ko ang kanyang mga alituntunin (I follow my country's rules and regulations)Tumatawid ako sa tamang tawiran (I would cross in the correct pedestrian lane)Sumasakay ako sa tamang sakayan (I would ride and alight in the correct spot)Pumipila't di nakikipag-unahan (I would line up and will not get ahead of others who are already in line)At di ako siga-siga sa lansangan (I am not a street bully)Nagbaba't nagsasakay ako sa tamang sakayan (I alight my passengers in the right place)Di nakahambalang parang walang pakialam (I do not just stop anywhere I want as if I do not care)Pinagbibigyan ko'ng mga tumatawid sa kalsada (I would always give way to pedestrians)Humihinto ako pag ang ilaw ay pula (I would stop when the red lights are on)Pagkat akoy isang mabuting Pilipino (Because I am a good Filipino citizen)Minamahal ko ang bayan ko (I love my country)Tinutupad ko ang aking mga tungkulin (I accomplish my duties and responsibilities) Sinusunod ko ang kaniyang mga alituntunin (I follow my country's rules and regulations)Di ako nangongotong o nagbibigay ng lagay (I do not accept or give bribes)
Ticket lang ang tinatanggap ko't binibigay (Only traffic tickets are given and accepted by me)Akoy nakatayo dun mismo sa kanto (I stand right in the corner)At di nagtatago sa ilalim ng puno (And I do not hide under the tree)Di ako nagkakalat ng basura sa lansangan (I do not throw trash in the streets)Di bumubuga ng usok ang aking sasakyan (My automobile does not emit smoke and polluntants)Inaayos kong mga kalat sa basurahan (I throw trash in the trash can)Inaalagaan kong aking kapaligiran (I take care of my environment)Pagkat akoy isang mabuting Pilipino (because I am a good Filipino citizen)Minamahal ko ang bayan ko (I love my country)Tinutupad ko ang aking mga tungkulin (I accomplish my duties and responsibilities) Sinusunod ko ang kaniyang mga alituntunin (I follow my country's rules and regulations)Lagi akong nakikinig sa aking mga magulang (I listen to my parents)Kaya't pag-aaral ay aking pinagbubutihan (So I study hard)Di ako gumagamit ng bawal na gamot (I do not use prohibited drugs)O kaya'y tumatambay at sa eskwela't di pumapasok (nor do I wander around and not go to school)Pinagtatanggol ko ang aking karangalan (I uphold my honor)Pagkat ito lamang ang tangi kong kayamanan (Because this is my only wealth)Di ko binebenta ang aking kinabukasan (I do not sell my future)Ang boto koy pinahahalagahan (I give importance to my vote)Pagkat akoy isang mabuting Pilipino (because I am a good Filipino citizen)Minamahal ko ang bayan ko (I love my country)Tinutupad ko ang aking mga tungkulin (I accomplish my duties and responsibilities) Sinusunod ko ang kaniyang mga alituntunin (I follow my country's rules and regulations)Akoy isang tapat at totoong lingkod ng bayan (I am an honest and true servant of the people)Pabor o lagay ay di ko pinapayagan (I do not allow special favors and bribes)Tapat ang serbisyo ko sa mamamayan (I practice honesty in serving my fellowmen)Di ko binubulsa ang pera ng bayan (I am not corrupt and do not place the money of the people in my pocket)Pinagtatanggol ko ang mamamayang Pilipino (I defend my fellow Filipino)Mga karapatan nila'y kinikilala ko (I acknowledge and uplift their rights)Ginagalang ko ang aking kapwa tao (I respect my fellowmen)Pinaglalaban kong dangal ng bayan ko (I defend the honor of my country)Pagkat akoy isang mabuting Pilipino (because I am a good Filipino citizen)Minamahal ko ang bayan ko (I love my country)Tinutupad ko ang aking mga tungkulin (I accomplish my duties and responsibilities) Sinusunod ko ang kaniyang mga alituntunin (I follow my country's rules and regulations)

Western Fantasy is one of Denver's signature fundraising events. The 19th annual edition, set for Saturday at the National Western Events Center, will attract hundreds of supporters of Volunteers of America for a dinner, auction and entertainment, this year by Rodney Atkins. A new twist this time is that guests are encouraged to dress as their favorite "Western legend of stage or screen." So some wannabe Matt Dillons, John Waynes and Tammy Wynettes are visiting costume shops along with those getting ready for Halloween parties this week. Disguises, a costume and party shop at 9797 W. Colfax Ave. in Lakewood, is giving a percentage of proceeds from costume rentals for Western Fantasy back to VOA. Tickets are still available for the gala, which starts at 5:45 p.m. Prices begin at $150 for young professionals and $300 for those 40 and over: voacolorado.org or call 303-297-0408.

Free At Last, Free At Last, Lord Have Mercy We're Free At Last!
at 4:00 PM Posted by GHABB,Y~!
Not sure if you guys caught the news today, but it seems that Celtics guard/MASSIVE FUCKING ALBATROSS Tony Allen will miss the rest of the regular season after undergoing thumb surgery. I am only to assume that Allen injured the thumb while sticking it up his ass while attempting to do something productive on the basketball court, or jamming it on a basketball that was passed to him, creating yet another turnover. Even still, the loss of Allen can only mean good things for the Celtics. My only regret is that Allen only hurt his thumb and wasn't, say, hit by a train going into North Station. Though there's still hope.
Now, the rumor is that TA (short for "Turnover Again") may return in time for the playoffs, but if I was Doc Rivers, I'd attempt in every way possible to keep Allen away from my team come playoff time. Whether that means telling him the wrong time for practices, giving him the wrong plane tickets, or putting up a sign that says "No Tony Allens Allowed" on the locker room door - I really don't care, so long as Allen doesn't see the court come playoff time.
In fact, the only benefit that came from Allen appearing in a Celtics uniform is that the team met the Americans with Disabilities Act by employing a retarded person on their roster. But, while politically correct and all, the playing and employment of Allen led to a bonehead play roughly every 10 seconds, and a guaranteed blown lead every time he got out on the court. You could replace Allen with Michael Rappaport and we'd see an improvement. And Michael Rappaport sucks.

Archive for the 'Coffee Makers' Category
And then I checked out Gevalia's Spring Clearance…Written by Amber on April 15, 2010 – 6:40 pm -
My coffee pot is on the fritz. =(
The FRITZ. As in, I push "start" and it starts and then it stops a few minutes later with several cups of water in the reservoir. So I push start again and it processes some more of the water and then it stops again. Still not finished. Around and round we go — and I'm not liking having to wait that long and go through that much trouble to get to my coffee.
Which is sad because I haven't had this one that long and my previous pot (a Gevalia Kaffe pot) lasted 12 years!!
So then I checked out Gevalia's Spring Clearance section.
I'm seriously thinking about replacing the fritzy one with either the 12 cup or the 4 cup coffee maker.. I can't decide. I CAN drink 12 cups of coffee a day but do I NEED TO?? Um, no. I have company that drinks coffee so rarely that I may go with the 4 cup.
And did you see the Blueberry Creme coffee on clearance, too? That sounds like a definite "Must Try." My regular coffee order is coming out of this paycheck so I'm going to have to wait until the next one. (And hope that things are still on clearance.) If they're NOT.. I've learned there's an ongoing 20% off promotion while digging around in my affiliate dashboard!!
To earn a 20% off discount, simply click this link >> Get 20% Off Your Entire Gevalia Order!
So should I get the 12 cup (29.97) or the 4 cup (17.97) Hmmm…
**Yes, that IS an affiliate link, which means that IF you order something (GO CHECK OUT THAT CLEARANCE SECTION, SERIOUSLY), you get a discount and I get a (very) small commission. Any earnings go towards the Amber Oliver new coffee pot fund.

My first coffee pot was free. (Yours could be too.)Written by Amber on February 26, 2009 – 8:00 am -
I was a college freshman when I got one of those mail offers (remember back when it was all snail mail?) for a Free Gevalia Coffee pot when I placed an order. I needed a coffee pot anyway, so I figured, "what they hay?"
I was not disappointed! That coffee pot survived over ten years, probably closer to TWELVE, until just a few months ago when it started getting a little quirky. It was a sad day when I retired that pot to the cabinet. It's been with me through my wedding day, ten years of marriage and the births of my three children. It was almost like I was losing a companion.
Did you know that Gevalia is having another Free Coffee Pot promotion? And this coffee pot looks so stylish! A programmable, stainless steel 12 cup coffee pot. Oh, yeah, and they have pretty good coffee, and tea, too. 😉
Oh, yeah, I did go a little over the 65 word limit. I get a little..talkative..when I get excited.

Everything is special about wedding, so is wedding cake. The people who attend a wedding give as much attention to the cake as given to the couple. The most important part of this cake is its decoration. Toppers and icing are used for the decoration. Natural and artificial flowers are also widely used for this decoration.
Specialty wedding cake designs are to be taken seriously. There are various types cakes. Some couples may prefer a unique specialty cake design for their weddings. They insist on a design never used before to enable it to stand out for the special and memorable event of their lives.
Whatever design you choose, the design should express the couple. The design should translate their vision. Moreover, they should also be works of art.
Here are three ways of ensuring a charming cake design.
Specialty wedding cake design: No compromise on design. Go for the professional hand. Go to the baker who is specialized in specialty wedding cake designs. Ask the baker to show the picture gallery. You will see dozens of pictures in the folder the baker provides. These pictures are of real cakes already made. Select the one which you think is most suitable for you. Ask the baker to make some changes in the design you selected so that it will look unique. You may decide on the size of the cake or leave it to the baker to decide to accommodate all the details of the design.
Wedding cake toppers: A topper is an important part of a specialty cake design. In most cases, the exact replica of the couple is represented in a couple of figurines on top of the cake. At least at some weddings, the topper used is the heirloom of the bride's family and it is repeatedly used by them for every wedding in the family. There are several types of toppers like military toppers, crystal toppers, and monogram toppers.
Wedding cake charm: Pulling out a charm from the layers of the cake by the bridesmaid is a very old tradition. The charm is the symbol of good luck. It is placed in the cake and is attached to a satin ribbon.
Give a new dimension to the cake concept which is followed in every wedding for ages.
