AdvertisementOh boo. Richman, as you will remember, posted a horrifying series of attacks directed at people who questioned his use of the hashtag #Thinspiration on a photo. Richman, the host of Man vs. Food recently lost a significant amount of weight and was using the photo of himself to celebrate his new physique. When others tried to point out that #Thinspiration is used in pro-bulimia and pro-anorexia circles, Richman pretty much lost his shit. Today, Travel Channel announced it was postponing his new show, Man Finds Food. The network would not confirm the reason for change, according to The Washington Post: The show, featuring Richman uncovering "delicious hidden food treasures" across the country, was supposed to debut on July 2. Then the channel suddenly announced it would be postponed with no details about a later date. A surprising move, given that Richman is one of the network's most profitable stars, the host of shows including "Man v. Food," "Best Thing I Ever Ate," "Adam Richman's Best Sandwich in America" and others.Here's a thought! If you want to have a successful career as a television personality, try not telling people "Grab a razor blade and draw a bath. I doubt anyone will miss you." Especially don't tell them that in a public forum where everyone including the people who hired you and paid you tons of money can see it and wonder why in the world they should let someone with such a scummy point of view host one of their TV programs.

Chris Pine's Girlfriend: Obsessed?
Model Olivia Munn really, really likes the Star Trek hunk — a lot.
-Kelly Will
Things are getting serious between Chris Pine and Olivia Munn and she wants to make sure people know just how happy she is these days. The 29-year-olds have been dating for about a month and an insider tells BettyConfidential that Olivia has been quick to share her joy on the set of her G4 show, Attack of the Show.
Read Lindsay Lohan's New Beau?
"Olivia is driving everyone crazy on set," the source says. "Whether she's in her makeup trailer or walking around the set, she's talking nonstop about Chris. We get it. They're dating. But she is really playing up their relationship to everyone who will listen. She's obsessed with him to the point where she tells people, 'Chris likes this… Chris likes that… Chris said the funniest thing the other day.'"
The insider says Olivia is loving dating someone as high-profile as the Star Trek hunk. "She has been on Attack of the Show for a few years but she insists that people credit her as an Iron Man 2 actress. Everywhere. [The movie's director] Jon Favreau gave her a walk-on role in the movie and she has a bit part, but she wants everyone to know her for that. She's climbing the Hollywood ladder."

You have a big crowded city full of people with mobile phones with cameras, many of them have powers that can detect what's happening around them (the boss of the Urban Rumors Site for example with his water droplet projection), powers that can see what happened in past on given place (to utmost detail like what people thought on that place), many curious people (like Saten) that investigate suspicious stuff (many of them purposedly) and tons of security behind every corner. And now you have tons of experiments, many of which have gone wrong (on bigger scale), many people misusing their powers (not just level 5s), magicians occasionally infiltrating the city, Dark Side stuff like assasinations, kidnappings, manipulation with money, people (memories)... and all of that must be kept away from public. And the Urban Legends are a way to do so. If you release part of the truth as a "rumor", even when someone publicly says the truth (with proof), they will just believe it is that rumor. And by adding a lot of crazy stuff (like the hard candy or pomade) the credibility of such rumor would decrease and the original information will be lost. And eventualy by making a lot of crazy "rumors" people will stop paying attention to them even if they were to contain real information (Shirai for example). And with that, the people will never realize the truth. Quote:
As for Aogami - he can be easily the boss of the Urban Rumors Site, that water droplet projection would match such a pervert perfectly. |

She has directly befriended Arisa, meaning she's already involved.
Touma will protect her from Magic side, Misaka would protect her from Science side, if this is anything like Hyouka, Index would be her emotional support or something, if this is like 0930, she'll probably do some singing. I can't say for sure because we don't know what the grand plan this time would be. Anybody want to take a couple hundred dollars trip to Japan?

Or rather, she'd help Touma, helping her by proxy, while being very tsundere about it.
Considering Arisa looks like an idol in some images, there'll definetly be singing. With Mugino pushing him away while being in the center of the poster. Oh boy, I wonder how it will feel for the anime only people to find out about good ol' Slave. |

November, 2010 in Charleston"We live in Charleston so I'm bias to how wonderful a place it is but I am a transplant from NYC three years ago. Our guests were mostly from out of town and had a great weekend in Charleston. We could not have asked for better weather for the weekend. It was in the high 60's/low 70's during the day but a bit cool at night, in the low 60's. Rick and Tara, our photographers, were amazing from Lowry and McKee. Our pictures are beautiful and they captured our special day just as we remembered. Our flowers were from Lotus Flowers and Mary is the best! She provided us with the most beautiful arrangements and what I loved even more was she wasn't pushy at all with trying to get us to do more with our flowers. Definitely use Lotus if you're looking for a florist. The Wickliffe House provided the perfect venue and catering for the wedding and our guests are still talkinga about it."

"The staff of the Wickliffe House/Mediterra Catering were wonderful! They were very responsive and great to work with. The food was amazing and our guests are still talking about the shrimp and grits. The ceremony was held outside on the front lawn and we went directly across the street for our pictures afterwards. The brick walls, beatiful trees and the WH were a beautiful background."

"Even though the rooms were a bit small our guests enjoyed their stay here. The location is great in downtown, the farmers market across the street and walking distance of all the restaurants and shops was perfect. Our guests could be found late night in the hotel bar and we hosted a brunch in the restaurant Sunday morning which was perfect."

Courtesy Demi Lovato
New job, new hair color! At the FOX upfronts in New York City on Monday, Demi Lovato was announced as one of the new X Factor judges — and debuted new blonde locks, too.
Before her trip to New York, the singer popped into West Hollywood's Nine Zero One Salon Friday night, where her hair was transformed from brunette to blonde and blonde extensions were added. According to a source, the starlet said this is the lightest her hair has ever been — and she wants to keep it this way for her upcoming tour, which kicks off in Del Mar, Calif., next month.
Last year, Lovato tried red hair temporarily, going blonde several months later and eventually returning to her natural brunette hue.
At Monday's upfronts — where Britney Spears (pictured in a Stop Staring dress) was introduced as a new judge, too, wearing a form-fitting Stop Staring mini — Lovato expressed her excitement about the new job. "I am totally stoked to be here," she told the crowd. "I'm excited to represent my generation and I'm ready to find the winner."
The X Factor, which also stars Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid, returns to FOX later this year.

NCL Epic is truly Epic!: Norwegian Epic Cruise Review by mellymel66
Overall Member Rating
NCL Epic is truly Epic!
Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean
Embarkation: Barcelona
When we'd had a look around the ship and had our first taste of the fabulous food it was time to get into our state room where we were pleasantly surprised. Yes the cabins aren't large but they have an amazing amount of storage and are very well designed. We had a balcony cabin which I would recommend as they are larger then the indoor and also it was lovely as we were sailing into a port to sit on the balcony.
Everything was so well organised. The kids club was exceptional. We travelled with our 10 year old daughter who is normally not keen to go the kids club but once we had persuaded her to go once there was no stopping her, in fact she insisted on going every evening. The staff was brilliant and I could not fault the set up at all.
We ate at the Manhattan room, Cagneys Steakhouse, the buffet and Shanghai, which were all exceptional. We More also ate at la Cucina which was a little disappointing as was the food in the Circue Dinner show. Don't get me wrong the food was ok but definitely not up to standard of the other restaurants.
We only did one trip with NCl but this was well organised if a little expensive but that's to be expected.
Blue man group and circue dreams show were both spectacular and on a par with shows we've seen in Vegas.
All in all we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and could find little to find fault with. We met some amazing people, a real diverse group and can't wait till our next trip. Less

"Love has no desire but to fulfill itself. To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving."
~ Kahlil Gibran ~
Good morning, sweet friends!
It's 10 more days to Valentine's Day ….. it's also Day 2 of 14 Days of Valentine's Day on my Facebook page
…. 14 days of LOVE ….. sweet recipes …. ROMANCE …. Valentine's day ideas ….
I know there are skeptics out there that don't believe in LOVE …. romance …. relationship …..
…. to them I say: "we all need to love something or someone to survive"
As Oscar Wilde once said: "Who, being loved is poor?"
When it comes to LOVE ….. I love to show it in many ways ….. one way is baking for my family & friends.
So, since I LOVE you, my sweet friends, but can't bake for you I will share with you a special recipe for SOUR CREAM APPLE CAKE with WALNUTS that a dear friend of mine shared with me many, many years ago.
This SOUR CREAM APPLE CAKE is moist , crunchy & sweet & over the years became one of the favorite cake of my loved ones…..
….. especially when I serve it with big scoop of ice cream.
SOUR CREAM APPLE CAKE with WALNUTS
- 2 cups Flour
- 2 cups Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup Butter (softened)
- 1 cup Walnuts (chopped)
- 2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Sour Cream
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 1 Egg
- 2 cups Apples (peeled and chopped)
STEP 1: Preheat oven to 350F.
STEP 2: In a large bowl combine flour and brown sugar. Cut in the butter and mix until crumbly. Stir in nuts.
STEP 3: Take 2 3/4cup of the mixture and press it into 9 x 13″ pan to make the bottom crust.
STEP 4: To the leftover mixture add cinnamon, baking soda, salt, sour cream, vanilla and egg. Mix it well. Stir in apples and spread the mixture over the crust.
STEP 5: Bake for about 30 minutes.
Tip: Sometimes when I want to make it extra special I frost the SOUR CREAM APPLE CAKE with Caramel Frosting and sprinkle with roasted walnuts.
Don't forget …. Keep Smiling …. Keep Cooking!

The final press conference was held today to discuss the Warriors Boxing and Bad Dog Productions, in association with the Magic City Casino, night of ESPN-televised professional boxing entitled "Friday Night Fights at Magic City Casino" to be held this Friday, January 4, 2013, at Stage 305 in the Magic City Casino.
Headlining the Warriors Boxing and Bad Dog Productions, in association with the Magic City Casino, event entitled "Friday Night Fights at Magic City Casino" will be a 12-round IBF #2 super featherweight elimination bout between Miami's own Rances "Kid Blast" Barthelemy (17-0, 11 KOs) and fellow undefeated prospect Arash Usmanee (20-0, 10 KOs).
In the co-featured televised bout, Puerto Rican powerhouse Jonathan "Mantequilla" Gonzalez (15-0-1, 13 KOs) takes on highly regarded Philadelphian Derek "Pooh" Ennis (23-3-1, 13 KOs) in a junior middleweight 10-rounder.
Quotes from the Conference:
Leon Margules (Warriors Boxing) - Every fighter on this card can win and that's refreshing and exciting in today's boxing. I am very excited to have this event at the Magic City Casino; we hope we have several shows at this wonderful venue.

Rances Barthelemy - I want to thank everyone for this fight, the casino, my management, my promoters and trainer. I am renewed with this camp. All these changes are for the best. You will see a different fighter than before on Friday night. I have trained very hard and have gone to Big Bear, California, to spar. I am ready for the bell to ring. I want to thank my opponent, Arash, for accepting this fight in front of his Cuban fans.
Arash Usmanee - I would like to thank everyone for this opportunity. I have had a great camp and I am ready to fight. I hope he is ready to fight.
Derek Ennis - I am here to put on a good show for everyone. I want to thank all the promoters. I am coming out to do my thing: hit and not get hit. I will see you at the fights and do my talking in the ring.
Jonathan Gonzalez - I want to thank God for giving me the opportunity. I have been in camp for eight weeks and I am ready to fight today. I am on weight today and I am ready to take out all my frustrations out on Ennis. He has no idea. I am ready.
Roberto J. Acevedo - I am excited and anxious to fight. I am fighting a Mexican and I am ready to bring the win back to Puerto Rico. I feel strong and this is one of the best camps I have ever had.
Hairon Socarras - We wants to thank everyone for being here today. I am ready to fight and I want to thank my promoter Blue Wave Group. Thank you for all the support.

Mark Bell & Jesse Burdick Interview
by JTurner 05-02-2012, 10:56 AM
http://podcasts.dhserve.com/biojacke...Bell-part1.mp3 We invited Mark Smelly Bell (yes, that Mark Bell) to the studio to shoot the proverbial shit, and he surprised us by getting Jesse Burdick to tag along. However, Bell and Burdick werent able to make it until about 45 minutes into the show, so Kiefer introduced Alex Navarro (Ms. Natural Fitness Olympia and one of Kiefers figure competition clients). Youll get to meet Alex, hear about what its like to train under Kiefer, and how annoying it is to constantly be building muscle all the time using Carb Back-Loading and Shockwave-style training. I was sick that morning (dont inhale mildew, kids) and couldnt make it out of bed much less to the studio. That turned out to be for the best, as I dont know how Mark Bell and Jesse Burdick would fit in that studio, much less also Kiefer and myself. Good thing Alex is smaller than me. Part 1 - 60 mins Part 2 - 22 mins Part One: Alex Navarro, Mark Bell and Jesse Burdick 00:30 Alex Navarro (Ms. Natural Fitness Olympia) complains about how easy it is to put on muscle on Kiefers diets. 03:00 Alex explains the differences among the various bikini divisions, and what the Fitness competition involves. 05:30 Shockwave training is too short and easier, complains Alex. 07:00 Why Alex is moving out of Fitness competition and into the WPBB Bikini Diva competition. Kiefer apologies for being a nobody. 16:15 Body By V the problem with multi-level-marketing products 18:45 Mark Bell walks in with surprise guest Jesse Burdick 22:30 Mark Bells been following the Paleo Solution (Robb Wolf), working w/ John Welbourn 25:45 What Jesse Burdicks been doing: Carb Nite, back-loading, etc. 30:30 Conversation about intermittent fasting and people following expert recommendations that their bodies give them negative feedback on. Always kinda question the knowledge, even when its coming from somebody whos really smart. you gotta apply some logic to it for yourself. Mark Bell 37:00 The issue of having realistic expectations of your physical results when you have a stressful, work-oriented lifestyle. 24:00 [break] 43:00 About the Slingshot (the greatest invention since the lifting belt), Marks invention for improving the bench press, pushups, and dips. 24:45 Kiefers confrontational question about the use of the Slingshot 27:30 What should lifters using the Slingshot be feeling for when they grip the bar (for a bench press) to avoid ending up flaring the elbows? 31:00 Mark Bell nearly kills Kiefer by sending him a photo. 33:30 70sBig and the shift in culture and physique in powerlifting. 37:45 Mark Bells Power Project Jesse Burdick on Carb Nite Part Two: Training Q's from the Forums 41:30 Can your head get any bigger? Julia Ladewski 44:00 What is the number one thing you do to mentally prepare before you train? (answers from Mark and Jesse) 45:15 Whats the biggest thing youve learned from Louie Simmons? 48:50 Training to failure: necessary to get strong? and if so, how often? In strength training, you dont always need to take it nearly as far as people think. You dont always need to be training at 90 or 100% to get stronger. In fact, a lot of times, once youve been training for a few years its moreso about getting better, than it is about just getting stronger. Mark Bell 53:00 Did Mark Bell really say, if you see a guy over 200lbs and ripped, hes most likely on steroids.? 58:15 Mark asks Kiefer if there are any health concerns around Carb Back-Loading.

1) Being either in denial or just not having the experience of knowing what a low bodyfat level looks like on them. 2) Being taken in by the standards of steroid using lifters. ...leads to a whole lost of BS being passed on forums. I've seen posters who claim 20% bodyfat, when they haven't lifted a weight in the last 6 months, have lived off nothing but McDonalds the last 3 years and who in pictures are clearly 30% or more, on top of that are weak and fat. Yet they still believe that if they lose 20-30lbs they'd be absolutely shredded. That level of denial is an extreme example, but you see it all the time. It's the same lifter who posts a bounced, partner assisted Bench on youtube and claims he'd "do well" in a powerlifting competition. Burdick and Bell train and compete with lifters each and every day, when you do that it forces an objective eye on you. Their opinion on it is well worth listening to. Out of interest, pretty sure Kroc competed at 215lbs ripped. He wasn't exactly fat when he was 260lbs either. Something to think about. Last edited by Fazc; 05-02-2012 at 11:39 AM. |

A good portion of the pro natural bodybuilders (legit, test feds) compete in the 170s. Some are in the low 180s. The ones in the 190s are generally over 6 foot tall. 6'1", 6'2". A general rule of thumb to remember is that for every inch of height, a lifter has about a 4 to 5 pound muscle increase or decrease. So if 5'10" inch naturals are competing around 175-180 (max), you could expect anyone competing at 200 to be well over 6 foot, unless there are at the very peak of their natural potential and blessed with the ability to hold muscle while cutting.

During the worship service at our church on Amistad Sunday, we received a new member, an African-American woman. Watching this, I thought of how our forebears—the New England Congregationalists—so greatly influenced society with their views. In 1839, the year of the Amistad incident, many Americans were opposed to slavery, but few beyond the Congregationalists maintained a belief in racial equality. Nonetheless, the ripple effect of their convictions would be felt through American history.
We now enjoy the results in the diversity celebrated in our churches, a legacy I witnessed again on Amistad Sunday. Like those Congregationalists of old, we have an opportunity today to influence our society on an issue of equality.
The UCC's General Synod passed a resolution in 1985 encouraging its churches to become "open and affirming" to the gay community. I didn't know of this at that time. In 1985, I no longer cared to belong to a church, feeling abandoned by mine years before, when I first realized I was gay. Its members made it clear that homosexuality was unacceptable to them, and therefore to God. I struggled with my sexual orientation alone, knowing of no place to go for spiritual help.
During that time, I looked for ways to be "cured" from homosexuality. When everything I tried failed, I sought escape in alcohol and drug abuse and eventually—like so many others who have felt the hurt and despair born of abandonment—contemplated suicide. Somehow, in that darkness, I would experience the hope that God of fers us and realize God's very real presence.
Still, for more than 20 years I struggled, unnecessarily, neither realizing nor living my full potential, in part, because of religious biases against homosexual persons. It became my passion to make sure that no other child of God is made to feel that way again. Ever.
With its open and affirming resolution, the UCC can provide a spiritual home for gay people. However, only about 5 percent of our churches take advantage of it, which is unfortunate. Christians of the gay community have much to share. We celebrate faiths born of social oppression, where we truly came to understand—as much from life experience as from scripture—that "nothing can separate us from the love of God as it is revealed in Christ Jesus."
The Congregationalists took an unpopular stand against conventional wisdom in 1839, in insisting on racial equality. They interpreted scripture differently than most people of their society. History proved them right and today we are a better people for it, celebrating the gift of racial diversity that God has given us. Someday, people will be just as accepting of God's homosexual children, as God's unifying spirit moves us.
We in the UCC need to act in the spirit of our forebears and lead in that direction now.

Alambre de Camarones
Tangy, fiery and protein-powered, this shrimp dish truly satisfies. Bonus: Total prep time is less than a half hour to get from the kitchen to the table.
176 calories per serving
3.5 g fat (0.8 g saturated)
7 g carbs
1.4 g fiber
23.9 g protein
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 bamboo skewers, 10 inches long, soaked in water 30 minutes
24 large shrimp (about 1 lb), peeled and deveined
16 serrano chiles
1 small red onion, cut into 8 wedges, then each wedge cut lengthwise into thirds
24 cherry tomatoes
For marinade
Puree all marinade ingredients in a blender or mini food processor until smooth. Combine shrimp and marinade in a bowl; toss to coat. Refrigerate at least 10 minutes (or up to 2 hours).
For shrimp
Thread 1 chile onto each skewer. (If you prefer metal skewers, coat them first with vegetable oil cooking spray.) Add 1 shrimp, an onion wedge and a cherry tomato to each skewer; repeat twice. Finish each with a second chile. Season skewers with salt. Heat a cast-iron grill pan or an electric or gas grill over high. Cook skewers, covered, turning once, until shrimp are cooked through and onions are charred and just tender, about 5 minutes per side. (You can use a charcoal grill, but be aware: Shrimp will cook faster.) Serve with Pico de Gallo Amarillo.

Letters to the Editor
A royal welcome
An open letter to White Rock council.
I was wondering if it were possible for our city council to consider inviting the royal couple, Prince William and Kate, to visit White Rock during their royal tour in July.
I had thought the Royal Hudson could bring them out. This would most certainly enhance the possibility of getting an Amtrak stop in White Rock.
A visit to the Peace Arch could be in order to celebrate 200 years of peace between Canada and the U.S.
This is just a suggestion from a resident in White Rock who is a very loyal subject of our queen.
Dan Hatcher, White Rock

As a small boy home from school on a snowy day, I liked to follow rabbit tracks in fresh snow. That seemed like a fun way to spend a morning but it didn't do me any good last week as I tried to dodge a snowdrift next to my house.

12/24 NATO Plug Capable Trailers
We are proud to be one of the first companies to offer a dual voltage option on our trailers.
An increasing number of military vehicles are produced with 24Vdc electrical systems, such as the Humvee used by the US Military. In addition, a number of foreign civilian vehicles also are equipped with 24Vdc electrical systems – such as the Land Rover.
You can imagine what will happen when a person attempts to tow a 12 volt trailer with a 24V tow vehicle. Damaging the lighting systems of either vehicle is minor compared to disabling an electric brake trailer by instantly burning out the brake magnets.
Centreville Manufacturing offers an optional lighting system that will accept 10-30 volt inputs. For vehicles requiring the 12 pin NATO plug (see photo below), we can supply our trailers with the plug installed and ready to go.
We stock 12 pin NATO plugs and sockets, and we make adapters that allow you to tow some 24 volt military trailers with a civilian truck, or to tow some civilian trailers with a 24 volt military vehicle. Ask us for details.
- NATO 12 Pin Vehicle to 7 Blade RV Adapter
- 7 Blade RV Vehicle to NATO 12 Pin Adapter
- 4 Pin Flat Vehicle to NATO 12 Pin Adapter
- 7 Pin Round to NATO 12 Pin Adapter
- NATO 12 Pin Vehicle to 7 Pin Round Adapter
- NATO 12 Pin Vehicle to 4 Pin Flat Adapter
If you need a trailer that will operate using both a Humvee AND with your basic 12V Ford, Chevy or Dodge pickup truck, we can supply a front mounted socket that will accommodate both the NATO plug and the 7 Pin round plug used by everyone (below).
As of this writing, there is no 24Vdc operated electric brake controller. Attempting to install a 12Vdc brake controller on a 24Vdc tow vehicle is likely to end in frustration. We offer a totally self contained hydraulic brake system with your choice of drum or disk brakes. No modification is required to your tow vehicle.
Our custom trailer manufacturing division can easily design and produce a "build from scratch" trailer for anyone working in both a military and civilian environment such as the National Guard that requires trailers useable in the military theater or on the interstate at home.

" In my recent quest for a new set of cans, I took a slight detour into the land of flashy prosumer headphones, in the form of the HK CL.

"Expanding on the pros, other likes- - These cans are pretty comfortable imo, with the velour pads and soft headband. I havent had any problems with pressure points on the headband, and have been able to wear them for several hours on end without much fatigue. Clamping force is just right.

Project By: Janie Medley
Photos By: Tori of Marvelous Things Photography
Seeded Eucalyptus
Leucadendron Safari Sunset
Floral Tape
Floral Pins
How To:
Clean the flower stems of extra leaves and give them a sharp angle cut and place them in water for a couple of hours so they can hydrate. For this bouquet, I pulled the petals off the sunflowers to give the bouquet added texture.
Begin the design by crisscrossing the two stem of seeded eucalyptus and the sunflowers.
Start adding the other flowers and as you crisscross the stems, begin turning the bouquet and remember to hold the stems loosely in your hands to obtain the wild and just picked from the garden look and feel.
Once the bouquet is completed, you may want to stand in front of a mirror holding the bouquet to see where you need to add any flowers and to make any necessary adjustments to the bouquet.
Now you can tape the stems of the bouquet to hold them in place.
Give the stems a clip with the scissors to the length that you desire the bouquet to be.
Now wrap the handles with your desired ribbon and give the ribbon a cut if needed after wrapping. Secure the ribbon in place with the floral pins.
Give the ribbon an extra touch with the addition of a smaller accent ribbon.
There you have it, a pretty DIY summer bouquet for around $60.00!

Because, like, what kind of brony actually plays video games, right? I mean really!
From top to Bottom: Equestria Daily logo, Rainbow Dash (stretch pose), and Trixie
While we're on the subject, why do we not have a Fraggle rock movie yet?
If you haven't heard, Brent Hodge and Ashleigh Ball's documentary "A Brony Tale" is one of the first documentaries picked up by the Super Size Me director's new distribution label, Morgan Spurlock Presents! Which means that the film, detailing Ball's journey through Brony-dom while visiting BronyCon, will be coming to 20-30 theater markets around the US.
The film has been a darling of the festival circuit, its Tribeca premiere selling out within hours. Stay tuned to My Little Brony for updates on the release schedule and locations! Way to go Brent and Ashleigh!
And if you haven't, check out the trailer below.

Lesser Of Two Evils ?
Lets talk about the Stage Coach Inn for a minute…….What is the point of the " Chili Trio"? If they suceed in permanently blocking the sale of this property, then what?? Does the " Chili Trio" plan on purchasing this land from Mr. Tulloch? If so, will they restore the Stage Coach Inn so that it has some charm? Right now, the building is in bad shape. Really, it is hideous. I know it can have landmark status but that doesn't mean anything if the place is all chopped up and pieced together. Which would be worse, a much needed chain drug store { yeah…right!!} or this ugly relic? If the trio was so interested in this building then why didn't they speak up at the December planning Board meeting? Mr. Tulloch made it clear that he was trying to unload the building. I would love to see someone buy the Old Stage Coach Inn and restore it to what it once was. A little cafe , a cool bookstore, some unique shops. The kind of place you might find on the eastside of town. If I had the cash, I would buy it and restore it. Does anyone know the motives of the trio? Are they just giving Mr. Tulloch a hard time or do they plan on restoring the place?

antihemophilic factor-vWF intravenous
Common Brand Name(s): Alphanate, Humate-P
antihemophilic factor-vWF intravenous Warnings
antihemophilic factor-vWF intravenous Uses
This product contains human factor VIII (also called antihemophilic factor) and von Willebrand factor complex. Factors are proteins normally found in the blood that help the blood to thicken (clot) and stop any bleeding. People with low levels of factor VIII and von Willebrand factor are at risk for bleeding longer after an injury/surgery and for bleeding inside the body (especially into the joints and muscles). This product is used to temporarily replace the missing factors and reduce bleeding.
Different brands of this product have different amounts of these factors, and therefore different uses. These products are not interchangeable. Do not change brands of this medication without the approval of your doctor. Some products are used to control and prevent bleeding episodes in people with low levels of factor VIII (hemophilia A). Some products are used to treat bleeding episodes in people with low levels of von Willebrand factor (von Willebrand disease) who do not respond to or cannot tolerate desmopressin. Some products are used to prevent excessive bleeding during and after surgery in patients with von Willebrand disease.
How to use antihemophilic factor-vWF intravenousThis medication is given by slow injection into a vein as directed by your doctor. How fast you receive this medication depends on your dose and how you respond to it. See Side Effects section.
This medication is given in a hemophilia treatment center or hospital. In some cases, patients may be able to give this medication to themselves at home. If your doctor directs you to give this medication at home, read the product information available from your pharmacist before you start using this medication and each time you get a refill. Learn all preparation and usage instructions in the product package. If you have any questions, ask your health care professional.
If the medication and the solution used to mix it were refrigerated, bring both to room temperature before combining. After adding the solution to the powder, gently swirl the vial to completely dissolve the powder. Do not shake the vial. Before using this product, check it visually for particles or discoloration. If either is present, do not use the liquid. After the medication is mixed, use right away.

Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it worsens.
antihemophilic factor-vWF intravenous Side Effects
Flushing of the face, nausea, vomiting, and fast heartbeat may sometimes occur and can be lessened by giving this medication more slowly.

If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.

For men, TrueCar says the top pick is the Porsche 911. That's interesting because, lat year at least, both the top men's and women's picks had the same spiritual originator, the original VW Beetle. The New Beetle derived from it stylistically, and the 911 is a direct (if very much advanced) ancestor mechanically.It appears that Volkwagen's campaign to inject pure testosterone into the Beetle appears to have worked, as it has 45.4% male buyers as of 2011, up from 39.4% in 2010. Brand-wise, MINI tops the female chart with 46.2% female buyers, while the brand with the highest percentage of male buyers is Ferrari, with 92.5%.AdvertisementBut, mostly, we're left with the realization that the vehicles purchased primarily by men are domestics. Most of these vehicles are trucks and, while American brands only recently have had competition for the lady-popular Mini Cooper, no one makes more popular big vehicles than Ford, Chevy, and Dodge.Top Female Purchases in 2011Make & Model % FemaleVolvo S40 57.9%Nissan Rogue 56.9%Volkswagen Eos 56.4%Volkswagen Beetle 54.6%Hyundai Tucson 54.0%Honda CR-V 53.4%Toyota RAV4 53.0%Nissan Juke 52.7%Jeep Compass 52.7%Nissan Versa 52.2%Nissan Sentra 52.0%Lexus IS 51.8%Toyota Corolla 51.8%Mazda CX-7 51.2%Mitsubishi Eclipse 50.9%Acura RDX 50.5%Infiniti EX 50.4%Toyota Yaris 50.4%Volkswagen Tiguan 50.3%Subaru Forester 50.2%Dodge Caliber 50.1%Top Male Purchases in 2011 Make & Model % MalePorsche 911 88.2%GMC Sierra 87.5%Ford F-Series 87.0%Chevrolet Corvette 86.9%Chevrolet Silverado 86.4%BMW M3 85.1%Audi S4 84.7%Audi A8 84.4%Cadillac Escalade EXT 84.3%Maserati GranTurismo 84.3%Toyota Tundra 84.1%Ram 1500 84.0%BMW 550 83.5%Toyota Tacoma 82.8%Chevrolet Colorado 82.5%Chevrolet Avalanche 82.4%GMC Canyon 82.4%Ram Dakota 82.0%Audi A7 81.5%Porsche Cayman 81.4%BMW 750 81.3%In many ways, this study brings up many more questions than it answers. No entire brand has a majority of women buyers, for example. Why is that? The Dodge Calibur is the closest to a gender-neutral car (50.1% women)– is that because boring is gender-neutral? Women seem more practical and thrifty in most of their top choices. Are they not spending more on cars because of a lack of interest, and would they if there were expensive cars more in tune with their desires? What are the real desires of the genders in cars? Why do my car tastes seem so girly, sometimes? Should I talk to someone about this? There's clearly more to be said on the subject.Also weird is listing Fiat as a "domestic" car. I guess it's true, but it's weird to see it.Reply299 repliesLeave a reply

Last week, the European Commission announced that Microsoft is willing to implement a browser ballot screen in Windows so that users can select a browser to install when installing Windows or when setting up their OEM computer. While this makes Opera very happy, Opera would like to see Ubuntu and Apple offer such a ballot screen too.

While Internet Explorer was just one example of the monopoly that we face with desktops today I believe that far more could be done in a lot of more worthwhile areas than trying to fixate on the browser. It bothers me that a company like Opera thinks that it can just avoid any change, sit on its backside effectively, keep cranking out browsers for a living and have a right to get a shop shelf built for them. The market for web browsers can't just avoid change because of a mandate to suit Opera. Web browsers have been freely available for some time now and freely available software is always going to have a better chance of being distributed into the hands of many people, especially when it comes to Linux distributions. If you're not prepared to open your code, or at least get it distributed more easily, then tough.
Opera is free though and open sourcing it doesn't help the average computer user who just wants a binary blob that executes

The 2011 calendar year was one of the more interesting years for the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). The Board became a lightning rod for controversy and partisan politics due to its controversial decisions to utilize its rarely-used rulemaking authority to rewrite the rulebook on union elections and to require employers to post what many consider a pro-union National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) poster in its workplace...

Well, Kristi would have to try to beat me for first place in line, but either way I know you'd get PLENTY of orders through your blog!
What a wonderful place to walk. I've missed seeing all your photos, FG, but I'm back and checking out the last few days. :)
December 2015 update: Hi! For some reason I can't figure out, Blogger hasn't been letting me leave comments on my own blog (!) for the last several months, so I've been unable to respond to your comments and questions. My apologies for any inconvenience! You're always welcome to email me: farmgirlfare AT gmail DOT com.
Hi! Thanks for visiting Farmgirl Fare and taking the time to write. While I'm not always able to reply to every comment, I receive and enjoy reading them all.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and I especially love hearing about your experiences with my recipes. Comments on older posts are always welcome!
Please note that I moderate comments, so if I'm away from the computer it may be a while before yours appears.
I try my best to answer all questions, though sometimes it takes me a few days. And sometimes, I'm sorry to say, they fall through the cracks, and for that I sincerely apologize.
I look forward to hearing from you and hope you enjoy your e-visits to our farm!

I want to do that if somebody types "!say ABC" then it would be able to acess only "ABC" and do whatever to it.
so I have an
, then to get "ABC" I doCode:str.indexOf("!say")
The problem is that if somebody types only "!say" with nothing that follows, the program crashes due to "out of bounds" or w/e. (because I am trying to access "str.split(" ")[1]" which doesn't exist).Code:str.split(" ")[1]
What if statement can I use to check if ".split(" ")[1]" exists?
