Not my usual sort of flippant post this one. I just couldn't let this one go by.
Last Thursday night, as a well thought out birthday gift, my wife took me to see Paul Carrack at the St David's Hall in Cardiff.
Paul who? I hear a lot of you ask, since a few of the people this reaches are not British.
Well ask away, because you do know him even if the name isn't that familiar.
At least you will have heard him, singing songs from a songbook that spans four decades. He's been called the best blue eyed soul singer the rock scene ever produced. The voice of bands like; Ace, Squeeze, Mike and the Mechanics…
The wiki link is here.
Paul Carrack WIKI
For me, as a child of the seventies rock scene and onwards, I've grown up with that voice and those songs. If you have time, have a listen to these examples:
How long has this been going on.
A timeless and plaintive song about waking up and smelling the coffee.
Looking back over my shoulder
Another song about regret and missed opportunity in the aftermath of a break-up
And of course, the one that turns me inside out whenever I hear it. Poignant and heartfelt, a powerful song with a timeless message. I've yet to find anyone that this song doesn't reach.
The living years
3 million plus hits on You tube. Just look at a few of the comments. My own dad died the day after my youngest son was born, so I sat in the audience and listened to that voice singing those words…
That's what music can do to you. Thanks to Mike Rutherford too, of course, who wrote the song with BA Robertson.
If you get a chance to see Carrack, go. Stop reading this and look up the tour.
It'll be worth it.

Hawaii-based troops return home after 9-month Afghan stint
By STARS AND STRIPES Published: March 11, 2014
More than 60 Hawaii-based soldiers have returned to Schofield Barracks after a nine-month deployment to Afghanistan.
Members of the 525th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 45th Sustainment Brigade took command of Task Force Hannibal in 2013 and assumed responsibility for supporting U.S. and coalition forces in Regional Command North, according to an Army statement. The soldiers performed tactical convoys, loaded supplies and equipment and closed four forward operating bases during their time overseas.
Upon their return home Sunday, families greeted soldiers with homemade signs and in some cases, newborn children. Commanders promptly released the troops to be with their families, according to the statement.

Springfield man's murder trial to stay in city
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) - A judge has ruled that the trial of a Springfield man charged with killing his on-and-off girlfriend just hours after she celebrated her 25th birthday will remain in Hampden County.
A lawyer for Jose Santiago had asked that the murder trial be moved out of the county because of the amount and nature of media coverage his case received, which would make it impossible to find an unbiased jury.
The Republican reports that a judge ruled Wednesday the publicity surrounding the case was "not significantly different in kind or amount" from similar cases.
The 32-year-old Santiago is charged with fatally stabbing Jessica Rojas in March 2012.
Santiago, who's being held without bail after pleading not guilty, is scheduled to go on trial March 3.

The Syria Files,
Files released: 1432389
The Syria Files
Thursday 5 July 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing the Syria Files – more than two million emails from Syrian political figures, ministries and associated companies, dating from August 2006 to March 2012. This extraordinary data set derives from 680 Syria-related entities or domain names, including those of the Ministries of Presidential Affairs, Foreign Affairs, Finance, Information, Transport and Culture. At this time Syria is undergoing a violent internal conflict that has killed between 6,000 and 15,000 people in the last 18 months. The Syria Files shine a light on the inner workings of the Syrian government and economy, but they also reveal how the West and Western companies say one thing and do another.

A functional resume focuses on the skills and experiences (rather than the chronological work history) that make someone a strong candidate for a position. These kinds of resumes are ideal for people who have gaps in their employment histories or are new to a particular industry.

The following is an example of a functional resume for a process management position. This sample includes a resume summary statement, which is a brief explanation of the candidate's qualifications for a position.

After you review this sample, take a look at tips for creating a functional resume of your own, as well as reviewing the many types of resumes available.

Functional Resume Example

Tips for Writing a Functional Resume

As you can see from the sample above, including a summary provides recruiters and interviewers with a sense of your skills and talents even before they delve into the details.

A functional resume isn't organized by position, so you'll need another organizational structure. This can be categories based on your skills or qualifications. Look to the job description for cues about what to emphasize here.

See more tips for writing a functional resume.

Is a Functional Resume Right for You?

Job searchers have lots of choices when it comes to creating their resume. Since a functional resume focuses on skills over dates, it's ideal for candidates who have gaps between jobs, are early in their career (or have only internship-based experience), or are making a career switch.

A functional resume is less commonly used than a chronological resume, which lists a candidate's work history, beginning with the most recently held position. Recruiters and interviewers prefer this format, so if you do not have a reason for using a functional resume, opt for a chronological one. One other option is the combination resume, which offers the best of both worlds. On a combination resume, your skills are highlighted first and then followed by your work history.

No matter which format you select, make sure to follow these top 10 resume-writing tips.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) on Monday announced plans to launch online ads targeting 17 Republican lawmakers over their votes for Rep. Paul Ryan's (R-Wis.) budget.
The ads open with Ryan describing his budget as the GOP's "vision" and an "expression of our governing philosophy," before cutting to clips of pundits describing the policy as "Robin Hood in reverse" that would adversely affect "the poorest people in the country" while giving "huge tax cuts" to corporations and the highest earners.
"Republicans say this budget is the best way to communicate their 'governing philosophy,' so we're telling the people what that means: more for millionaires and corporate special interests, less for the middle class and seniors," DCCC spokesperson Emily Bittner said in a statement. "That might be the Republican Congress' governing philosophy – but it certainly isn't the right philosophy for America's middle class."
Late last month, the House approved the Ryan budget in a 221 to 207 vote, and House Democrats have since focused on tying House Republicans to the budget in a series of press conferences, floor speeches, YouTube videos and cable news interviews.
Republicans are betting that the public will be receptive to the Ryan plan's measures to balance the budget in just 10 years, through lowering tax rates, $5.7 trillion in spending cuts and a repeal of the president's healthcare reform law.
The plan also calls for changing Medicare into a voucher system — a move Democrats charge would cut benefits for seniors.
The DCCC ads will run in districts Democrats believe hold vulnerable Republican incumbents in Arkansas, California, Colorado, Indiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Washington.
The ads are targeting GOP Reps. Tim Griffin (Ark.), Tom Cotton (Ark.), David Valadao (Calif.), Gary Miller (Calif.) Mike Coffman (Colo.), Larry Bucshon (Ind.), John Kline (Minn.), Erik Paulsen (Minn.), Lee Terry (Neb.), Jon Runyan (N.J.), Michael Grimm (N.Y.), Tom Reed (N.Y.), David Joyce (Ohio), Jim Renacci (Ohio), Mike Fitzpatrick (Pa.), Scott Rigell (Va.) and Jaime Herrera Beutler (Wash.).
National Republican Congressional Committee spokeswoman Andrea Bozek shot back, blasting the DCCC strategy in an email to The Hill.
"If Democrats believe they are going to win Republican House districts on a platform of touting support for ObamaCare and a budget plan that never ever balances, then please – hit the campaign trail," she said. "In 2012, Republicans won our second-largest House majority since World War II precisely because Democrats are in denial about our nation's spending problem and ObamaCare's job destroying taxes."


text: Dog245, I couldn't agree more. Your story sounds so familiar. I have 5 children, and then 6 grandchildren. I went into this on my own. I had retired from the government at age 39. That lasted for 3 months. I was bored to death. I went into the residential construction business. That lasted 18 months, then I got hurt severely. Came out of that after 3 1/2 years. There was my golden oppurtunity. A guy that I had grew-up with was getting out of the residential end of the lawn maintenance business and going into the commercial end of it. He gave me a list of 14 customers...I landed 13. I was on my way, with a p/u, 21 incher, weedwacker, 2 barrels and a rake. I was king of the hill !!! Now, 14 years later, I have 71 accounts: 68 residential and 3 commercial. I have an 18 year old nephew working for me full time, and another part time. I am "up to my eyeballs", and loving it. The only complaint I have is that I have no time to myself. BUT, I don't know as I would change it. I love everyone of the customers that I have. I couldn't ask for better ones, and I am certain they would say the same about me. I actually look forward to going out and working for these people each and everyday. But, then there are the problems: I am 55 years old and have an artificial left ankle from my construction days. It gets sore real early and is heck to try and use first thing in the morning. I can always tell you 2 days ahead of time when it is going to rain or snow. It has put extra stress on my right leg, which tires even sooner. I have to spend bad weather days away from work. I hate to work in the pouring rain. Drizzle is OK. I am ambitious and hate for wasted days. I look around me and see those that I grew up with, who have college degrees, and I definitely see the difference. It has taken a few years for it to show up, but it is there. YES, they are members of the corporate world, and YES I have it "made in the shade" with my own business, BUT, I am always conscious of"the difference a degree makes". IF I had it to do all over again, yes, I would have gone to college. I grew up in a time when the DRAFT was in effect. I didn't move fast enough, and GOT drafted. Off to combat, and then travels all over the world, in a green uniform. BUT, I enjoyed the most of it, got to see places that most other people will never experience and made friends from several different cultures. Now that I am older, I often wonder what it would be like to do a days work without all of the physical aspects...BUT...then...all of my peers always comliment me on my physical stature. Something that I have always been proud of. I would personally be very disapointed in myself if I had gone the route of the overweight desk-jockey. Sorry, didn't mean to offend anyone with that comment. I hpe to cash in on my business in the next couple of years, but to always keep a hand into it. Plan on only calling in sick the night before I pass away. What a hoot that would be.

The CZ 452 and 453 are very good shooting rifles for the money. It would be difficult to consistantly find a better shooting bolt action 22 rifle out of the box for the price. Note I said "for the price" as there are better shooting 22 rifles out of the box for a higher price. I'm looking forward to acquiring the Remington 547 in the coming months when they start hitting the stores and it might well shoot a little better. I'd take a good Remington 541-S anytime over the CZ. They were priced pretty much like the CZ's are now 20 years ago.

I don't shoot it much anymore, but back in the day, my Marlin 39a would shoot dime sized 10 shot groups all day long at 25 yards. I never tried any longer distances because I didn't have a place out back to shoot longer.
I've never shot a CZ, but the ones I've seen couldn't be called junk. And yes, Skeeter, I know you did correct that wording.
Most 22's will shoot a lot better than the person holding them anyway. For all the talk about how inaccurate a 10/22 is, mine are accurate enough stock out of the box to kill a squirrel as far away as I'm willing to shoot at one. I did kill one once with my Marlin at 75 steps, but I'm not sure who was more surprised, the squirrel or me. I was a lot younger then, and my eyes were sharper.

jhansman - You need to read the "rest of the story" before passing judgement on old resurrected posts and before making statements like, "See, that's just plain old ignorance talking there."

Okay, I'll revive this post. It's not too old.
I don't own, nor have I shot either a CZ-452 or Marlin 39A . But I'd love to own both one day ! As I said, I have no experience with either, but given all I've gathered over the years, I'd say unless you get a screwed up example, either should be capable of sub-MOA accuracy. That is certainly nothing to sneeze at or complain about. I'd bet a lot of folks can't take advantage of the full mechanical accuracy anyway, but it is fun to try of course.
I plan on picking up a CZ Trainer myself in the next few weeks and shoot with only the irons for a while. Should be a lot of fun. Then I'll add a 39A later.

I have one of each. The Marlin will shoot fairly consistent dime sized 5 shot groups with Remington Golden Bullet bulk pack from Walmart at 50 yards. The CZ will only do that with a premium ammunition although I have had good luck with Federal AutoMatch which is only a little more expensive than the Remington. My .22's are for plinking so the one that shoots the smallest groups with the cheapest ammo is the one I like best because I can afford to shoot it more.
My CZ is a trainer w/Brook's trigger kit and basically everything else he sells for the CZ's. It has a 3x9 scope on it now and that scope was on the Marlin. I took it off to put a set of XS Ghost rings on the Marlin.
The 39a I bought used 4 years ago and didn't do anything to it. It was made in 86 and didn't look like it had seen much use before I bought it.
If I had to sell one the CZ would go and the Marlin would stay, but neither are going anywhere. They are both great guns. Actually I was looking for a used 39a since I just couldn't bring myself to spend the price of a new one. After looking for close to a year for one at a reasonable price I stumbled on the CZ's and Gander Mountain was having a sale so the Trainer came home. Shortly after that I moved to a new city and within a week of being there I walked into a gun store and found the used Marlin 39a I had been looking for. $185 later I was out the door with it. After shooting it I decided I should have just bought a new one since it would have been worth every penny.

Just bought a NIB Marlin 39.
Problem I see with most every CZ I've ever seen is corrosion coming from the sleeve they use for the front sight and just plain overall crude fit and finish-------not that any of that makes them bad shooters.
They still have to come a long way before I'll even own one.

22 Rifles
I just came in the house. I shot 200 ronds of CB long's at a 2-inch gong at 50 yards with my Winchester 9422. I own over a dozen different 22 rifles. I own some Kimber of Oregon rifles, I just bought a LH CZ 452, I have a Marlin lever action 22 along with my Winchester.
First of all for ultimate accuracy the Kimber is king(Anschutz is also a dandy).
Your question is a bit unfair. IMO the bolt action will usually be more accurate than the lever. So if accuracy is strictly your criteria then you should go with the CZ.
However for me there is a fun factor in shooting a 22 rifle. That is why my favorite 22 rifle to shoot is an open sighted Winchester 9422. All of my bolt rifles are a bit more accurate than the 9422, but not as much fun to shoot or hunt with.

I have a 452 Special in 17.HMR with a trigger job I did myself using an Eric Brooks trigger kit. It breaks the shot at 1.5 lb. It is topped with a 6-24X42 scope. From the bench, on a calm and not very hot day I can put a hole in a golf ball with the first shot, every time at 200 yards.
How's that for junk?
P.S. Those who call CZ "junk" out of ignorance: CZ was founded in 1919 as a military small arms factory and it has a long tradition in firearms innovation. For example the CZ75 semiauto pistol they make (one of the original wonder-nines) it is so successful, it has long passed the 1,000,000 production mark, it spawned several clones (Baby Eagle and Armalite AR-24 are just two of them), it is in service with more Governments, Militaries, Police and Security agencies than any other pistol in the world and it is the standard-issue NATO sidearm. Would you call that junk too?
Oh, and if it makes your nationalistic pride feel better: CZ is American owned and American managed. It is the only small firearms company in the world owned and operated by a woman. Her name is Alice Poluchova and she's a heck of a hunter and a shooter.

Typical group from my Ruger 77/22--just as it came out of the box with NO modifications---10 shot group @ 50 yards with inexpensive bushnell banner straight 4X scope---just under 1/2"---it does this very often with a number of different loads.

Also stock out of the box – including stock trigger:
Looks like whatever one gets will work fine; but the price/performance of a 452 can't be beat.
The bone-stock (including trigger) Varmint is also accurate:
I have other CZs and Brnos that perform as well.

By the way, the joint between the sleeve and the barrel on my rifle is so well executed that I didn't even realize the sleeve wasn't part of the barrel until the incident with the white exudate.
Did you know that there is a TEXAS State Rifle Association?

I've got a CZ 452. It's a GREAT 300 dollar rifle(kind of sick when your scope costs more then your rifle)
Yes, it drives tacks.
It's not a 50 yard Anschutz 64 or 54.....
And, it costs 1/3 the price. If you can shoot better then a 1/2 inch, get a real rifle...
It's a great training rifle for it's bigger brother:

I have the CZ 453 American myself- the version with the set trigger and without the iron sights that my eyes can't see well enough to use any more anyway. Insert big sigh here. Anyhoo, as far as apparent quality, fit and finish go, it's as good as anything I've ever handled. And it groups well enough to make me ALMOST look like a good shot, say about half an inch for five shots at 50 yards when I do my part. I think it might open up a bit if you shoot fast enough to heat the barrel, but it's hard for me to tell. Maybe the heavy barrel varmint model is better in this regard. If anyone knows, please tell me.
I have also always lusted after the Marlin 39. This is, and always has been, a premium rifle. In the old days their ads were along the lines of "Yeah, it costs more, but so what? It's worth it."
There have always been shooters who agreed with that. One such was Annie Oakley; it was her exhibition rifle of choice. 'Nuff said on whether the Marlin is accurate, I think.

Mine likes the heavier rounds with 20 grain bullet from Hornady over the regular 17 grain.

Mine shoots the Wolf Match Target well. It will put them all in the same ragged hole @ 50 yards if I can manage it.
Did you know that there is a TEXAS State Rifle Association?

The United States Bench Rest Association has an official bench rest target that consists of 28 bulls (3 for sighters and 25 for score) that each have a tenth of an inch 10 ring. It is fired at from 50 yards in 20 minutes with a possible score of 250-25X using heavy weight unlimited, medium weight custom, and factory sporter weight .22 rimfire rifles. We have been having local rimfire benchrest matches for almost a year now. My shooting passion is all about rimfire sporters and I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing the high and low end factory sporters shoot it out.
For what it's worth, here are our results in Sporter Class since we started these matches in 2007:

Please note that the two different Marlin 39 rifles finished dead last three times in Sporter Class. They never even broke 200. I had written "equipment issues" by the 39 in the first match. But, the shooter later stated that he simply could not get his Marlin grouping tight enough to zero on the evil little green bulls. That is why he later ordered a TC R-55 and after that a 452 American. His high score was a 212 in the second match with a borrowed CZ 452 Varmint. Evidently he knows how to shoot.
I own a Marlin 39A and it is one of my favorite rifles but the ultimate test for the raw accuracy of a .22 rimfire is the USBR target and held to that standard, the 39A pales in comparison to the CZ 452 (which I own five of).
Yall be safe and have fun shooting.
Danny Creasy
PS: You are more than welcome to come shoot with us on third Saturday mornings in Sheffield, Alabama. Pics:

My brother's 452 American shoot about half of its 3 shot groups under MOA @100 yards with Federal American Eagle. Match ammo shoots about the same in that rifle and is more $.
I use my 452 trainer with open sights but have gotten 2-3 inches @100 yards and the rifle can do better.
The only 39a I have shot does similar to my trainer with open sights so I would assume my shooting is the limiting factor. I think this rifle could use a scope to really test the accuracy.
A side note: nether of the cz rifles will group CCI CB longs so the Marlin 39 has an advantage there.

Less than you think!
The guidelines have been revised. Recent evidence indicates that potentially allergenic foods such as egg, fish, cow's milk used in foods and cooking, cheese, yoghurt, wheat and other gluten containing cereals do not need to be delayed until a certain age. If there are some family allergies you may want to be more careful and check with your GP before starting weaning.
There are still a few things to avoid for all babies:
Honey before 1 year – due to the botulism risk
Whole nuts before 5 years – because of the choking risk
Sugar – children have a natural sweet tooth and this should not be encouraged. They also don't need any extra sugar.
Salt – babies' kidneys tolerate salt less well than ours. Don't add any salt to their meals.
Cow's milk as a main drink before 1 year – iron levels are lower in cow's milk than in breastmilk or formula. You can offer cow's milk as a drink aftre 1 year as then your baby should be getting most of the iron they need from the food they are eating.
See the link below for more information;
TOP TIP: Please avoid honey, sugar, salt and cow's milk as a main drink until 1 year and whole nuts until your baby is 5 years old

Every business has its share of competitors. This company is no exception. Two direct competitors of this footwear outlet would be Puma and Footlocker. While these competitors are well-established businesses within the footwear industry, just how good are they?
Puma is known for their name-brand shoes in an array of athletic styles. However, their prices are less than favorable. Additionally, Puma is limited by manufacturing and distributing only footwear displaying the Puma logo, which may be a downside for those in search of an array of styles and brands when it comes to shoes.
Footlocker is another well-established business within this field. However, their product selection is limited to athletic footwear as well. If a consumer is searching for heels or flat, casual shoes, they are out of luck. The prices at Footlocker are likewise just as "pretty" as the athletic footwear they sell, thus, rendering them just outside of the affordability consumers seek.

The Other Superbowl: I.B.M. vs. Apple
By Philip H. Dougherty
The New York Times
January 23, 1984
Yesterday's Super Bowl telecast marked the opening of a far bigger competition than a mere football tussle: International Business Machines vs. Apple for dominance in the personal computer market. Each entered a 60-second commercial with the time alone costing more than $800,000 for each advertiser.
In the process, the world learned that Lord, Geller, Federico, Einstein, the I.B.M. agency, is once again using the Charlie Chaplin character for PCjr, its new entry. But instead of Gary Merrill as the voice-over, this new campaign features the voice of Estelle Parsons. A baby carriage was also included in the spot for ''the bright little edition to the family.''
The spot for Apple's Macintosh can only be described as something else. It was created by Chiat/Day and directed by Ridley Scott, the Englishman who directed the film ''Alien'' and those far-out Chanel spots. Apple's is entitled ''1984,'' having been inspired by the George Orwell novel. A cast of some 300 extras, with grayish faces and in grey clothing sit drone-like on benches in a drab auditorium intent on a Big Brother shouting at them from a large screen. Then lots of action. A heroine, a police chase and an exploding screen.
Since the $400,000 production was scheduled to be played only about 18 times in 11 markets, Jay Chiat was asked, ''How can one amortize the cost of the spot in such a short time?''
''What we are amortizing,'' he responded, ''is the future of the company. If we don't do well, I.B.M. will own it all.'' He said Apple will be spending about $25 million for Macintosh, while PCjr reportedly has a $40 million introductory budget. So $400,000 doesn't seem like all that much. Besides, a 30-second spot is included in the package.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2018
England in the great wave of migration following the Norman Conquest of 1066. It is based on the name of the famous St. Leger.
Selenger Early Origins
Kent where Robert St. Leger was granted estates at Ulcombe and became Lord of the Manor of Ulcombe. "Ulcombe Place and manor belonged to the family of St. Leger, of whom Sir Robert, of an ancient house in Normandy, is said to have supported the Conqueror with his hand when landing on the Sussex coast. The present edifice, [(church)] which is in the later English style, contains some very old monuments to the St. Legers." [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lewis, Samuel, A Topographical Dictionary of England. Institute of Historical Research, 1848, Print. He also held estates at Bexhill in Sussex. Another source claims that Robert actually assisted William, Duke of Normandy from the boat which brought him to England in 1066 prior to the Battle of Hastings.
Selenger Spelling Variations
Selenger Spelling Variations
The English language only became standardized in the last few centuries. For that reason, spelling variations are common among many Anglo-Norman names. The shape of the English language was frequently changed with the introduction of elements of Norman French, Latin, and other European languages; even the spelling of literate people's names were subsequently modified. Selenger has been recorded under many different variations, including St.Leger, Leger, Legere, Sallinger, Sellinger, St. Ledger and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
To escape the uncertainty of the political and religious uncertainty found in England, many English families boarded ships at great expense to sail for the colonies held by Britain. The passages were expensive, though, and the boats were unsafe, overcrowded, and ridden with disease. Those who were hardy and lucky enough to make the passage intact were rewarded with land, opportunity, and social environment less prone to religious and political persecution. Many of these families went on to be important contributors to the young nations of Canada and the United States where they settled. Selengers were some of the first of the immigrants to arrive in North America: John St. Ledger settled in Canada in 1841; William St. Leger settled in New Orleans in 1823.
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Haut et bon
Motto Translation: High and good.

A String Of Pearls
There was a time (at least on television) the lovely housewife was always seen wearing a signature necklace of pearls. Whether she was doing light dusting or telling the cook, Beulah about what to make for dinner, the pearls were always the staple of her wardrobe, almost as much as that simple band around her finger that represented a life shared with one man, a circle with no beginning or end, like the love and cocktails they would share throughout their lives. I think when people think of "family values" and "simpler times" the image of that woman, that Donna Reed or Barbra Billingsley with their pearls is what comes to mind. Sure we would later find out that the pearls were almost like some sort of shock collar to women, keeping them from going out into the world to become self-realized because they were worrying about the pot roast instead of their inner psyche but this morning I went to Walmart and there was an older woman greeting people at the door with her bright blue polo shirt on just like everyone else but her hair was coiffed amazingly and around her neck? A string of pearls – Don't Get Me Started!
I stared at this woman for a brief period. She seemed happy. She seemed as though you could put a dress on her and think that she was at a garden party or the matriarch of some family business and she was ruling with a knowing smile and wink. And yet there she was at the entrance to Walmart with a smile from ear to ear greeting each guest and making them feel as though they had just stepped into her home and that the fondue appetizer would be served any minute. I marveled at her. Not because she seemed almost from another time but because whatever time she was in, I wanted to be in it with her. I have no idea what her real life is or was, maybe she was a drug dealer who fell on hard times and had to get a job, maybe the pearls were fake. But I doubt those scenarios are true. I'd like to believe (especially in these troubled economic times) that those pearls were the only material thing she owned of value, that they had been passed down for generations and when she lost her home to foreclosure, her husband of forty years to cancer and was forced to move into a one bedroom studio apartment and get a job, on her darkest nights those pearls illuminated her soul and let her know that no matter what happened around her she was still the lady her mother taught her to be and a survivor.
There was a time that it was considered garish to wear diamonds before you were forty (exception being the engagement ring). And I kind of feel the same way about pearls. Pearls are not for everyone. Clearly Barbra Bush worse those huge ones because it was either a support for her linebacker sized neck or because she just wanted to show that she had a neck. Wilma Flinstone's pearls just looked like cement or something and very uncomfortable. And I believe there's a myth that you're not supposed to wear pearls on your wedding day because it will mean a marriage filled with tears. But I think the reason that some women shouldn't wear pearls is because they simply haven't earned them. On the reality show the Ladies of Windsor Hall they gave each girl a string of pearls and when they would be expelled they would have to return the pearls. I think they got the idea right; that you have to be a lady to wear pearls.
Am I putting too much emphasis on something that seems immaterial? Maybe the rest of the stuff we talk about is immaterial but in the hustle and bustle that is my life, with all that I try to juggle, seeing those pearls today made me stop, breathe and in some strange way believe that everything was going to be okay. Maybe that's why when a gay hears something shocking (or let's face it, wants to give an over the top reaction) they "clutch their pearls" (in other words, place their hand to their throat in disbelief in what would appear that they are clutching an imaginary strand of pearls around their neck) maybe it's a comforting thing in some weird way or maybe we just saw Charles Nelson Riley do it on Match Game and it's been passed down through the gener-gay-tions.
I don't know what the answer is but I know that right now I have Glenn Miller's String Of Pearls going through my head and I feel better about life in general. I feel more civilized and feel as though I can even deal with the fact that Beulah burnt the pot roast and we'll be going out for dinner tonight. A string of pearls – Don't Get Me Started!

ReviewI have to agree with most of the reviewers. This is one bad MB. I've owned 3 MB but this is worst of all! From the day I've picked-up this car, I've had so many problems for next about 5-6 years. I've made so many trips to dealers. Luckly, many of the problems were fixed under warrenty. Many times, dealers would fix additional items without telling me though. Real poor build quality. However, I have to tell you that after all those repairs (all done at the dealership), my car has been "Finally" running real nice. I now have 175K miles and really runs very nice. I think it was after about 90K miles this car runs nice. I still would not recommend any one to buy any Mercedes models!
Best FeaturesStrong engine and transmission. Roomy cargo.
Worst FeaturesEverything else! I mean everything!

Streaming movies need buffering on PS3?
I use Orb.com to access my PC so I am able to play movies that are stored on my PC with my PS3. My problem is for some reason the movies need buffering sometimes in the middle and I don't understand why. It really ruins the movie night. I use DSL with a 6mb DL rate. Is this just not fast enough?
Does anyone have any other suggestions for software to access your PC from your PS3?
Also... Is there any chance of PS3 upgrading their web browser?
10-03-2009 #2knw5504 Guest
i just use windows media server with vista. But I have found out that movies work better if you copy them to the ps3s hard drive. no buffering runs alot better than strreaming the videos between two devices. because if your pc does some routine things it may slow the streaming video and cause your buffering issues.. not sure about other programs but i hope this helps.
I haven't heard anything about a new browser for the ps3.

My dermatologist always said that what you eat will show on your skin. A healthy diet equals to healthy skin. Here are some tips of mine to help you lead a new, healthy diet.
Fresh Breath
Don't have a toothbrush handy? Try the pantry, you might just find some yogurt. Why yogurt? Yogurt will neutralize nasty smells and leave your breath super-fresh.
Yogurt also contains a ton of powerful nutrients that does wonders for the skin. Zinc contains anti-inflammatory properties that'll reduce redness, swelling and help tighten skin tissues. The Lactic Acid and Vitamin B in yogurt will prevent dry skin, leaving the skin hydrated, smooth and glowing.
Count Your Units
Alcohol is horrible and damages the body. It causes changes in the body's circulation system, which can lead to broken veins on the chin and nose, and also bloating. Try keeping your intake of 14 units a week and one dry day a week or more.
Fruit For Healthy Skin
Fruit is essential for healthy skin. It's food for the skin because of all the vitamins and minerals it contains. The skin also stays hydrated because off the high levels of water in fruits.
Pimples or congested skin in the T-zone is often a sign of constipation or blockage in the lymphatic system. It can be relieved with plenty of fruit and vegetables.
Beauty Snacks
Feeling a little peckish? Hook yourself up with a mini-meal of low-fat museli mixed with flaxseeds and dried fruit, topped with plain yogurt. If you're more of a juice girl, try a tomato juice with a splash of lemon.
Flaxseeds are high in the anti-inflammatory index and can reduce redness, inflammation, skin irritation and acne. It also hydrates the skin by increasing the body's natural oil production, giving you a healthier glow. Tomato juice moisturizes the skin giving it a healthy glow. Lemon's whitening properties will brighten up the skin
Salad's Ballet
Eat well for amazing skin. Fix yourself a lunch of grilled shrimp salad with grapefruit and watercress. These ingredients contains high level of zinc and antioxidants and we all know the amazing benefits already.
Top it with a little parsley, which is rich in Vitamin A, chlorophyll, Vitamin B 12, Folic Acid, Vitamin C and iron- all amazing for skin health.
Confidence Boost
This isn't a skin food but hey! This is something great to have, confidence! Believing in your own looks will make others believe in them too. How? Presenting a positive mental attitude and self-assurance will help you exude attractiveness.
You're not always gonna feel confident, fake it till you make it. Try pretending to be confident- it can make a big difference on how others perceive you.
I hope these tips help. Have a good one girls.

Yorick Build
Top Lane
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Please note that this is my first build.
The work of gravediggers is essential amongst the living, but invaluable in the Shadow Isles. There are many shades of death there, and each is embraced rather than feared or reviled. One can only ascend from one state to the next with the magical aid of a skilled professional. At the end of the first Rune War, Yorick Mori made his living as a gravedigger. His family owned and maintained the Final Rest Memorial, one of the oldest cemeteries in Valoran. The shovel he employed for his work had been passed down for generations. Each gravedigger taught his son that this shovel was imbued with the spirit of every forefather, and that those spirits would protect him during the long lonely nights amongst the tombstones. To his eternal regret, Yorick died without an heir, bringing the proud Mori line to a close. His body was interred with his shovel in the family mausoleum, and the Final Rest Memorial soon fell to ruin. Death, however, was not the end Yorick had expected.
Yorick emerged on the haunted shores of the Shadow Isles - not quite dead, definitely not alive - still clutching his beloved shovel. He soon learned that with it he could act as a ferryman for the Isles' undead denizens, helping them climb death's many-tiered ladder. This proved a curse, as a gravedigger must ''bury his quota'' before he too can ascend, or so the legend goes. No one knows what ''his quota'' is. Yorick dug tirelessly, waiting in vain for the day when he would be freed of his burden. As decades turned to centuries, the shame of his failures came to a head. He returned to Valoran to find his corpse, convinced that salvation might be buried with it. When he arrived, no trace remained of either the mausoleum or the memorial. Hope nearly lost, he discovered the League of Legends, and there saw an opportunity to immortalize the family name he allowed to be forgotten ages ago.
''Die first, then we'll talk.''
Pros / Cons
Abilities are named after the four horsemen (rather cool in my opinion)
A lot of health, at least the way I build him
His ultimate is pretty amazing if you can use it properly
Really cool skins (If you still haven't noticed his pentakill skin looks like slash)
games for me usually never last past 25 or 30 minutes (around the time I'm getting Warmog's)
Not much Armor or Magic Resist the way I build
You need a decent amount of minions or kills early game to do well
requires a decent amount of skill to play ( cant just buy him and do amazingly with him)
Yorick cannot farm well at all! he is terrible at farming at least I think so because all of his skills are single target except Omen of Pestilence which doesn't do enough damage. So if you can early game just focus on last hitting minions with your auto attack and trying to stay alive until you can get a kill.
My runes are pretty self explanatory I get armor pen. marks for early game when people have no armor so I'll do more damage. I get the seals of clarity because they're cheap and give nice mana regen per 5 which everyone knows Yorick's mana pool is pretty much non-existent. My blue runes and quints are for higher chances of survival early and late game.
The masteries are rather simple, 0/9/21 with more into mana regen so you can stay in lane longer but these are my choice you can go more defensive with your mastereies with 9/21/0 or 0/21/9, or more offensive with 21/0/9.
Ok well I start off with a Meki pendant and 2 potions it is your choice as to what potions or any at all (I highly recommend them) i get the mana potion just in case i run out of mana which you shouldn't do unless you spam your abilities before tear of the goddess. I get Mercury Treads after for the movement speed due to the fact that Yorick is amazingly slow. I get sheen after because it procs with your Omen of War i get Warmog's Armor after so i can be a better damage sponge i get Phage for Frozen Mallet after that for the bonus damage and slow/health this item is optional you could get a Banshees veil or or more defensive item depending on your preference. I then get Manamune because at this point in the game (assuming you even get this far into it) you should have enough mana for a nice amount of bonus damage from it. As for my last two items they should be self explanatory Trinity force for all the bonus stats (mana for Manamune health for the Atma's you will be getting soon the bonus damage proc for your Omen of War the AD/AS bonuses are nice to and the movement speed is very useful) I get Atma's for the bonus damage from all the health you should have by now.
And that explains all my item choices.
Skill Sequence
Ok now for my skill sequencing I max my Omen of Famine so you can stay in lane long enough to get your tear of the goddess and its really annoying to enemy champions if you use it right. I max Omen of War after that because that your main damaging spell. I don't max out my Omen of Pestilence until I'm forced to because the slow is nice but early game people usually destroy it as soon as you drop it I get the on point in it early game because the initial slow is nice and if used properly you can use it to block skill shots like Ezreal's Mystic Shot.
Summoner Spells
My summoner spells are my preference i know some people like flash or ignite or maybe even cleanse but for me teleport and ghost seem to work the best, though if you do choose other summoner spells I highly recommend flash and ignite flash is amazing for escaping and positioning and ignite is good for killing the people who get away from you with almost no health.
Yorick is a great damage dealing off tank and if his ult is used right he can help a team-mate get kills even after he or she dies but all in all hes a really good underused champion in my opinion. And please note this is my first build ever so please don't downvote it without a comment because if there is anything wrong with it i would like to know so i can improve it.

DOUGIE MacLean, the leading Scottish singer-songwriter, today officially launched a nationwide campaign to have an ancient oak in Perthshire chosen as Europe's best loved tree.
The oak stands on the banks of the River Tay at Inver near Dunkeld.
And, according to local legend 18th century fiddler Niel Gow, the composer of many of Scotland's best loved strathspeys and reels, wrote many of his most famous tunes while sitting underneath the tree.
Gow, a musical prodigy who died in 1807, was paid a retainer by the 4th Duke of Atholl who became his Patron. The aristocrat is said to have spent time sitting on the opposite bank, enjoying the music as it drifted across the water while Gow played his fiddle beneath the tall oak.
The oak, which stands on land now owned by Forestry Commission Scotland, was chosen last year by the Woodland Trust Scotland to compete against trees from around Europe in the 2014 European Tree of the Year contest.
MacLean, internationally renowned for his song "Caledonia," performed his interpretation of Niel Gow's "Farewell to Whisky" under the oak to kick start the campaign for votes.
He said: "Scotland is loved globally for its beautiful scenery and rich musical heritage, and Niel Gow's oak is a something that builds a bridge between those two worlds. I'm sure that Scots from across the world will join me in getting involved by voting for it."
MacLean continued: "I have a personal connection to the oak because I grew up and still live in Perthshire just a few miles from it, and I also play the fiddle. I've been fascinated by Gow's tunes for many years and have performed and recorded a number of favourites, in fact Michael Marra's song 'Niel Gow's Apprentice' was written about me.
"It's a beautiful feeling to rest under the tree and imagine Niel Gow sitting in the same spot, taking his inspiration from the scenery and the flow of the river."
Carol Evans, director of the Woodland Trust Scotland,said: "Niel Gow's oak is a fantastic example of a tree that has a great story to tell.
"Virtually every community in Scotland has at least one tree which is well loved and has a great story to tell, but it feels fitting to start our involvement in the contest in Perthshire, which is well known as the Big Tree Country.
"By telling and sharing stories about trees such as Niel Gow's oak we can encourage more people to value them and want to protect them. It is such a fantastic tree with a beautiful story, we're really hopeful of a good result in the competition."
The ten countries competing in Tree of the Year are Scotland, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, France, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Wales.
Members of the public can vote for Niel Gow's oak at treeoftheyear.org. Voting closes at the end of February.
