The Containment Unit
I know this sounds crazy, but I just opened the fridge and I SWEAR something growled at me. So either there's a portal to another dimension back there, or something has gone bad. Like real bad.
No, it's not the milk. That doesn't expire for 3 weeks. It's that weird ultra-ultra-pasteurized kind. It could survive a blast from a proton pack (don't cross the streams!), but it makes amazing post-Cocoa Puff chocolate milk so I overlook that it probably came from some mutant bio-engineered space cow.
I'm not even going to bother going through the leftovers. They're all in the Lock & Lock containers, and nothing gets in or out of those things. Seriously, they allow in 3,000 – 6,000 times less moisture than other containers, so they keep food fresh for a really long time. And check this out. Yep. That's the split pea soup from last week. Yep. That's me shaking it like a Polaroid. I know you're not really supposed to do that because it ruins the picture. I'm just trying to make a point. These suckers are leak-proof and airtight.
Oh. My. Gozer. I found it. Pretty sure it was the rest of your chimichanga from that Mexican place down the street. And I'm pretty sure it just tried to bite me. Quick, put it in one of the Lock & Locks. Now snap down the four-sided locking system. There. We're safe for now. At least until it starts multiplying.

So for a while now I've been bugging husband and telling him I wanted bees. Why bees is beyond me, but it is something I got in my head I wanted. We've been together (dating + marriage) since July 2009 and he's heard about Bees on and off since then.
My dad has kind of even gotten in on it and randomly sent us listings for bees for sale every now and again. Last week, the Bee-sness started again. I got 3 emails from my dad about places to buy bees. Of course I sent them on to hubby. The next thing I knew, he was on Youtube watching videos about bee keeping.
Before I knew it, we made a decision that we were getting Bees. Now we don't get the actual bees until Mid April, but we went ahead and located the hives to get them all put together and set up now. They came in this last weekend so we spent the weekend putting them together and painting them.
He looks so excited! Maybe even a little too excited? Nah! He's holding "Frame Feeders". You fill them with sugar water to feed the bees when the nectar flow is not available.
His helmet & the screen guard. Keeps you from getting stung!
The black is the Foundation for the frames. The blue Hive tool is used for prying apart the boxes after the bees glue them together with propolis. Bee gloves, don't want him getting stung! The white looking thing is an entrance feeder. The queen doesn't get to go up where the worker bees are, so this helps feed her. And the yellowish looking bands are leg bands that hold your pant legs tight so little bees cant crawl up them. So you don't have to do the bee dance!
finally honey super's.
T came over Saturday while hubby was assembling the frames, so he jumped in and helped. The frames are what the bees will use to build comb on and store their honey if they are in the honey supers (the upper boxes), or they will build comb and the queen will lay eggs in it (down below in her chambers) as well as store honey to feed the babies.
Then just paint them your favorite color. Most people go with white, but hubby chose my fave color.

A Brand New Start!
Well, seeing as I had left this blog untouched for a good six months I saw it only fitting to delete and restart instead of wasting my time to play catch up. The content on this blog is not only limited to my style but also to some other projects that I will be working on throughout my first year of college. Hopefully, if all goes accordingly, there will be some success in these "projects" and this blog will be a key source of updates to anyone who is interested. But in the mean time, hello!

I've written a couple movie reviews and just put them up on facebook, along with my thoughts on a few various topics pertaining to the gaming industry, from discussing the lineup of the last E3 to ranting when Valve is finally going to release Half-Life 3.
If my first choice weren't teaching kids to play music, then by gosh I wish I had a job like yours Mr. Sessler.Posted: September 13, 2011 1:56 PM -
Adam, I love you. This episode of Sessler's soapbox was extremely informative and insightful. from the advice on books to the understanding of video game culture. By the time i get a degree, in a few years, i hope journalism isn't dead by then. And to make your paranoid ass feel better Adam, yes, i will watch your speech :)

I hope that I sound at least half as educated and articulate as Mr. Sessler when I'm older. He may stutter sometimes but man does he know how to speak his mind in a fluent and descriptive way. I'm gonna read some books.

SI prefix meaning 10 to the negative 6th power (10-6 or 10^-6). Abbreviation is μ or lower case mu.
micro- pref.
1. Very small; this is the root of its use as a quantifier prefix. 2. A quantifier prefix, calling for multiplication by 10^(-6) (see quantifiers). Neither of these uses is peculiar to hackers, but hackers tend to fling them both around rather more freely than is countenanced in standard English. It is recorded, for example, that one CS professor used to characterize the standard length of his lectures as a microcentury -- that is, about 52.6 minutes (see also attoparsec, nanoacre, and especially microfortnight). 3. Personal or human-scale -- that is, capable of being maintained or comprehended or manipulated by one human being. This sense is generalized from `microcomputer', and is esp. used in contrast with `macro-' (the corresponding Greek prefix meaning `large'). 4. Local as opposed to global (or macro-). Thus a hacker might say that buying a smaller car to reduce pollution only solves a microproblem; the macroproblem of getting to work might be better solved by using mass transit, moving to within walking distance, or (best of all) telecommuting.
--The Jargon File version 4.3.1, ed. ESR, autonoded by rescdsk.
Mi"cro- (?), Mi"cr-. [Gr. small.]
A combining form
Small, little, trivial, slight; as, microcosm, microscope
A millionth part of; as, microfarad, microohm, micrometer.

LONDON (AP) — Five-time Oscar-winning composer John Barry, who wrote music for a dozen James Bond films, including "You Only Live Twice" and "Goldfinger" but couldn't persuade a jury that he composed the suave spy's theme music, has died. He was 77.
Barry died in New York, where he had lived for some time, on Sunday, his family said. The family did not release the cause of death.
Though his work on the Bond films is among his most famous, the English-born composer wrote a long list of scores, including for "Midnight Cowboy," ''Dances with Wolves" and "Body Heat." He was proud of writing both for big action blockbusters and smaller films.
He won two Oscars for "Born Free" in 1966, for best score and best song. He also earned statuettes for the scores to "The Lion in Winter" (1968), "Out of Africa" (1985) and "Dances with Wolves" (1990).
His association with Agent 007 began with "Dr. No" in 1962, although his contribution to that film was not credited and is in dispute.
Monty Norman, who was credited as the composer for "Dr. No," sued The Sunday Times in 2001 for reporting that Barry had composed the theme, working from scraps of Norman's work. Norman won the case, collecting 30,000 pounds ($48,000).
Barry testified that he was paid 250 pounds to work on the theme music, developing the guitar line from part of Norman's song "Bad Sign, Good Sign," but agreed that Norman would get the credit. He was asked whether Norman wrote the theme and responded "absolutely not."
In later years, Barry limited his comment on the case to saying, "If I didn't write it, why did they ask me to do the other ones?"
He subsequently wrote music for "Goldfinger," ''From Russia with Love," ''Thunderball," ''You Only Live Twice," ''On Her Majesty's Secret Service," ''Diamonds are Forever," ''The Man with the Golden Gun," ''Moonraker," ''Octopussy," "A View to a Kill" and "The Living Daylights."
Born John Barry Prendergast, he recalled growing up "exposed to the fantasy life of Hollywood" at the eight theaters his father owned in Northern England.
"Rather than talkie-talkie movies, I liked films with excitement and adventure, because they were the ones that had the music," Barry said in an interview with The Guardian newspaper in 1999.
"It was nice to have the very commercial Bondian thing ... and then at the same time have these smaller movies which were artistically more interesting to do," he said.
Other films included "Robin and Marian," ''Somewhere in Time," ''The Cotton Club," ''Peggy Sue Got Married" and "Howard the Duck." He was also nominated for Oscars for his scores of "Mary, Queen of Scots" in 1971 and "Chaplin" in 1992.
Barry trained as a pianist, studied counterpoint with York cathedral organist Francis Jackson, and later took up the trumpet. He founded a jazz group, the John Barry Seven, in 1957.
The group teamed with singer Adam Faith, scoring hits with "What Do You Want?" and "Poor Me," and Barry moved into film work when Faith was tapped to star in "Beat Girl" (titled "Living for Kicks" in the United States).
"The James Bond movies came because we were successful in the pop music world, with a couple of big instrumental hits. They thought I knew how to write instrumental hit music," Barry said in an interview with The Associated Press in 1991.
In an interview in 2008 with The Irish Times, Barry said his success "was not that difficult."
"If you hit the right formula, if you have an instinct for music, if you apply it, if you have the good fortune to meet with certain people who teach you well ... I didn't find it all that difficult," he said.
Barry was divorced three times. He is survived by his wife Laurie, his four children and five grandchildren. A private funeral was planned, the family said.

A son, Mark Callas, tells The Associated Press that Callas died Thursday in a hospice.
Clark County Coroner Mike Murphy says the death was from natural causes.
Callas toured with Frank Sinatra and Tom Jones, and had a screen part with Jerry Lewis in "The Big Mouth" in 1967.
His facial expressions and rapid-fire comedy also made Callas a favorite on the "Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson.
He also worked with Mel Brooks and was the voice of Elliot in Disney's "Pete's Dragon."

Indiana's Amrhein named honorary bat girl
MILWAUKEE -- Major League Baseball revealed its 30 winners on Monday of the 2012 Honorary Bat Girl program, which recognizes baseball fans who have been affected by breast cancer and demonstrate a commitment of "Going to Bat" in the fight against the disease.
The Reds' honorary bat girl will be Tina Amrhein of Brookville, Indiana. Amrhrein, who was 19 when she lost her mother to breast cancer, was herself affected by the disease that required radical surgery and chemotherapy.
Amrhein, who is married with two grown children and two foster children, and is a volunteer for Special Olympics, will be at Sunday's Reds-Nationals game on Mother's Day.

4.29 / 5.00 3,665 ViewsLepo 6: Winter Snow
It's a snowy winter and Lepo has fun playing with snow.
Music: "Our Winter Love" by Bill Pursell
This was made by Violet-AIM (not XwaynecoltX). He broke into my account and tried to claim collab credit for some of my movies.
Winter the most dangrous time of the year
the graphics were quite good no to bad. graphics- 7/10
the ending could be inproved alot. ending-5/10
the music really really good great use. music-9/10

Snowmen are dangerous
Again, great use of music.
Yeah they can be, with their sharp wooden stick arms. Thanks for the review DukeOfOxford.
Winter time
I liked how the snowman moved. Not sure why he started killing people. I thought you did a good job with the graphics. You should have speeded the sound up at the end when they are on the sled. At some sound effects for teh attack and the crash. Still I liked this. Thought you did a good job with the presentation of it.
Since Lepo made him, he felt a need to defend him, and so he went beserk on that one kid who threw a snowball at Lepo. Yeah, sound effects would've been good at the end, wasn't really thinking about that. Thanks for reviewing ramagi.

yes, the third graphic comes from a rw site - I found it googling images. but look at these three maps and read Jesus' parable below.
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2025:34-40&version=KJV Fundamentalists believe the Bible is the inerrant, literal Word of God. they had better pray they are wrong/

before pasteurization? Neat trick.
Actually many of them think wine was drunken, but there is no reason we should do so now. |

4. I know that passage by heart. One might expect the hellfire and brimstone crowd would take heed.
They say eternity matters most, but don't live that way. One can argue they simply disagree with the method by which this is to be enacted, but they love their own luxuries more than anything else. They don't follow anything that Jesus said to do. And it shows.

My wife and I agree completely. It is sad. Especially since the bible is so clear.

9. there are many wonderful baptists
there are even quite liberal Baptist churches - not part of the Southern Baptist Convention .
Most of my family (older members) are Baptists the younger generation (relative concept) have either gone agnostic or joined mainstream liberal denominations like the Presbyterian or Episcopal church. My parish priest still can't get over the fact I sit in the back pew regardless of attendance (a Baptist thing). Here are a couple of Baptist jokes I recall. If you take a Baptist fishing, be sure to invite a second one so the first one won't drink all your beer. Did you know Baylor University banned pre-marital sex? They say it could lead to dancing. |

10. Dad's Mom left the Baptist church because of public shaming (not her)
When Dad was a teen everyone went to the dance at tiny Lynd in SW MN. While the other kids were dancing Dad said the Baptists were out necking. He thought he would rather have his kids dancing so Mom (also baptized Baptist) and Dad were married in the Methodist Church.
Dad always planned ahead. |

14. well, that is subjective
they are not orthodox Christians (not, like greek orthodox, but everything from catholic to Anglican to greek orthodox to Pentecostal to Baptist.) by this I mean that their further revelation through the book of Mormon put them outside what is considered orthodox Christianity.
that isn't an insult, just a theological observation. |

5 Crazy New Bites at The OC Fair
Because it just isn't summer until you stuff yourself with deep-fried things that probably shouldn't be deep-fried, there are a slew of new items at The OC Fair this year. There's also a big culinary focus, if you can call it that, with cooking demos and competitions, food trucks on Thursdays, and on Fridays, you can taste your way around the fair for only $2 a pop from noon-4 PM. What's on the menu?
Bacon is obviously not over in the fair circuit, with the porky goodness showing up in a lot of random places, like fried bacon ice cream, a Nutella and bacon-topped sourdough pizza, and a Pink's hot dog topped with cream cheese, bacon and Ghirardelli dark chocolate. Take a look below for a sneak peek at five more crazy things making their debut this year. The OC Fair goes from July 12 through August 11

Here's my deal today. I've started probably three separate posts and can't stay on task and finish a single one. Maybe this post will kick me in the arse to get moving?
Leave it to David Bowie to motivate me, right? So yeah, apparently Mr. Jones hails a cab just like everyone else (including my four old grandson, Felix!). I have photos to prove it–of both of them!
A new book by Peter Doggett is available now in the U.S. about Bowie's strong and steady presence in the 1970s. The book recognizes that where some British icons faded a bit over time, Bowie has remained iconic during every change in music and society over the past four decades. Even more-so than Mick Jagger or any of The Beatles as solo artists, Bowie stood out with his ART and truly made us think.
via The Man Who Sold The World:
"Like the Beatles in the decade before him, Bowie was popular culture's most reliable guide to the fever of the seventies. The Beatles' lives and music had reflected a series of shifts and surges in the mood of their generation, through youthful exuberance, satirical mischievousness, spiritual and chemical exploration, political and cultural dissent, and finally depression and fragmentation. The decade of David Bowie was altogether more challenging to track. It was not fired by idealism or optimism, but by dread and misgiving. Perhaps because the sixties had felt like an era of progress, the seventies was a time of stasis, of dead ends and power failures, of reckless hedonism and sharp reprisals. The words that haunted the culture were 'decline', 'depression', 'despair': the energy of society was running out, literally (as environmentalists proclaimed the imminent exhaustion of fossil fuel supplies) and metaphorically. By the decade's end, cultural commentators were already defining the era in strictly negative terms: the chief characteristic of the seventies was that it was not what the prime movers of the sixties had hoped it would be.
"This was not, at first sight, the stuff of pop stardom. The Beatles would have struggled to capture the hearts of their generation had they preached a message of conflict and decay, rather than idealism and love. What enabled David Bowie to reflect the fear and chaos of the new decade was precisely the fact that he had been so out of tune with the sixties. He was one of the first pop commentators to complain that the optimism that enraptured the youth of the West in the mid-sixties was hollow and illusory. His negativity seemed anachronistic; but it merely anticipated the realisation that Western society could not fuel and satisfy the optimism of sixties youth culture. 'Space Oddity' aside, his work of 1969/70 failed to reach the millions who heard the Rolling Stones' Let It Bleed or John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band, two albums that also tore away the pretensions of the recent past. But even those two records paled alongside the nihilistic determinism of Bowie's first two albums in his new guise as cultural prophet and doom-monger.
"Bowie might have maintained a fashionable gloom for the next decade, and turned his sourness into a calling. Instead, he embarked on a far more risky and ambitious course. Unable to secure a mass audience for his explorations of a society in the process of fragmentation, he decided to create an imaginary hero who could entrance and then educate the pop audience – and play the leading role himself. Since the start of his professional career as an entertainer in 1964, he had used his brief experience as a visualiser in an advertising agency to rebrand himself in a dozen different disguises. Now he would concentrate on a single product, and establish a brand so powerful that it would be impossible to ignore. The creation of Ziggy Stardust in 1972 amounted to a conceptual art statement: rather than pursuing fame, as he had in the past, Bowie would act as if he were already famous beyond dispute, and present himself to the masses as an exotic creature from another planet. Ziggy would live outside the norms of earthly society: he would be male and female, gay and straight, human and alien, an eternal outsider who could act as a beacon for anyone who felt ostracised from the world around them. Aimed at a generation of adolescents emerging into an unsettling and fearful world, his hero could not help but become a superstar. Whereupon Bowie removed him from circulation, destroying the illusion that had made him famous.
"What happened next was what made Bowie not just a canny manipulator of pop tastes, but a significant and enduring figure in twentieth-century popular culture . . ."
"There were precursors: a Robert Heinlein science-fiction tale from 1949 entitled 'The Man Who Sold The Moon'; a 1954 DC comic, 'The Man Who Sold The Earth'; a 1968 Brazilian political satire that flitted across the arthouse movie circuit, The Man Who Bought The World. None of them has an apparent thematic link to one of Bowie's most enigmatic songs, written and vocalised over an existing backing track while the clock counted down for completion of the album to which it lent its name. Its lyrics have proved to be infuriatingly evocative, begging but defying interpretation. (. . .) Like the question of who killed President Kennedy or what happened to the crew of the Mary Celeste, the mystery is more satisfying than any solution.
"But not as satisfying as the track, a compact, elegantly assembled piece that featured none of the metallic theatrics found elsewhere on the album …"
I look forward to reading this new book. I appreciate the philosophy that Bowie wasn't all love and peace in his Ziggy Stardust period. We felt a darkness which continued on into the mid-to-late 70's Thin White Duke persona. Longing, misery, addiction, love, lust, dance…and Fame were ubiquitous if one allowed the words and rhythm to seep inside. Try listening to Station to Station and not feel an icy fever in the R&B "plastic soul" wooziness in the atmospheric drama pounding from the speakers. A prime example is "Stay", which is probably my favorite Bowie song…today, anyway.
Oh dear…there I go again. Loving the Alien…

When I realized I would be 'heavy with child' (how awful is that phrase, by the way? yikes) in the peak of summer, I assumed that August would be the worst month by far. I saw myself sitting on the couch in my underwear, sucking on a freeze-pop, bemoaning my largeness. Honestly though, last month was gorgeous. Just...wonderful!
It was hot enough to feel like summer, but the cooler nights and the crisp mornings were such a gift to this beluga sized momma!
I am happy to see September arrive, but I am sad to see August go.
Thank you for a beautiful summer August! I expect a repeat performance next year!
PS: Dad is doing better, still not a lot of answers, but everything is encouraging! Now he mostly just doesn't like the hospital food! Thank you for your prayers!

State Sen. Kevin C. Kelly (R-21) and state Reps. Jason Perillo (R-113) and Larry Miller (R-122) welcomed students from the award-winning Shelton Intermediate School Robotic Revolution Team to the State Capitol on Monday, Aug. 27.
The team met with Gov. Dannel Malloy and the local legislators.
"Shelton's Robotic Revolution Team is a dynamic and creative approach to engaging students in science and technology in a meaningful way," said Sen. Kelly. "Through innovation, we can develop new technologies that can make a difference in our everyday lives. The success of this team is no easy task. A national championship is only achieved through hard work and effort."The team tied for first place in the second annual First Lego League Global Innovation Award ceremony with the Smart Sticker food safety invention. The invention indicates whether or not food has been stored at the appropriate temperature.
Rep. Perillo said, "It is really wonderful to celebrate intellectual and academic success. I look at these students and I feel a tremendous sense of pride in them and in their advisors. This national recognition is quite an achievement."
The award ceremony took place on Tuesday, June 19 and the winning teams will receive up to $250,000 in development services. They will also be featured on the PBS television show "Everyday Edisons."
"Shelton residents are proud of the accomplishments of their own. We can all learn something from these students, who used technology to help improve their community," said Rep. Miller.
Teams from over 60 countries participated in this year's event. To learn more about the First Lego League Global Innovation Award, please visit their website at www.fllinnovationaward.firstlegoleague.org.

My favourite way to sew is to recreate an old garment anew! I love recycling fashion and am passionate about trying to reuse whatever I can! I don't post/blog enough about it – will work on that! This project was made from a Ben Sherman men's business that given was given to me. I used Vogue V8766 pattern to guide the making of the dress and tried to retain some of the features of the shirt such as button stand, collar and the hang tag.

I think I might have made a Motion for a More Definite Statement. If I did that, I did it only once, and I can't remember the result. Asking for a more definite statement is a rarely used litigation maneuver, allowed by Rule 12(e) of the North Carolina Rules of Civil Procedure.
The Defendant in the NC Business Court case of Shaw v. Shaw made a Rule 12(e) Motion but it was rejected in an Order yesterday by Judge Bledsoe. The Judge said:
Motions for a more definite statement are not favored by the courts and are 'sparingly granted because pleadings may be brief and lacking in factual detail, and because of the extensive discovery devices available to the movant.' Ross v. Ross, 33 N.C.App. 447, 454, 235 S.E.2d 405, 410 (1977)(citations omitted). As long as the pleading meets the standards of N.C.R.C.P. Rule 8 and the opposing party is adequately notified of the nature of the claim, a motion for more definite statement will be denied. Id.
Order ¶10 (emphasis added).
If you are curious about the allegations in the Complaint which were alleged to be too indefinite to allow a response, they were paragraphs 25(e) and (j), which concerned the Defendant's claimed making of unauthorized loans and payment of excessive compensation.
Judge Bledsoe ordered that the allegations fairly notified the Defendant of the claims against him, given the notice pleading requirements of Rule 8.
What about Complaints that go beyond the notice pleading requirements of Rule 8, that have too much detail? That's a different kettle of fish. I've more often made a Rule 8(e) Motion, arguing that a Complaint violated Rule 8 because it was not "concise and direct." But that's mainly because I like the word "prolix." You don't get to use it very often.

If you were hoping to be done with winter, Punxsutawney Phil has some good news for you - an early spring is on the way.
After the groundhog was summoned from his burrow at the Gobbler's Knob hill in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, early Sunday, observers proclaimed that "the prognosticator of all prognosticators" had not seen his shadow.
The tradition goes back to medieval times when there was a superstition that all hibernating animals emerged from their caves and dens to check on the weather on Candlemas, which is halfway between the winter solstice in December and the vernal equinox in March. If the animals saw their shadows, winter would go on for another six weeks, and they could go back to sleep, according to the tradition.
Meanwhile, at New York's Staten Island Zoo, fellow groundhog Staten Island Chuck also didn't see his shadow on Sunday, agreeing that an early spring was on its way.
The Staten Island event has happened for 32 years. Punxsutawney's celebration goes back 127 years.
FULL STORYNot to be outdone by the Americans, UN officials held their own Groundhog Day.
In their own Groundhog Day ceremony, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), tying in reports on global warming, announced that there would be six more weeks of winter.
... followed by 1000 years of summer.
Pig farmers have never done well in the United States. Most Americans prefer beef to pork. Hamburger is an American favorite but contains no ham. The porcine raisers were hopeful to see a significant increase in their business after the scares about health over beef, but most of the benefits had gone to the poultry and fish industries, Sale of ham and bacon remained virtually unchanged.
Because of this, The National Porcine Association hired a major Madison Avenue advertising firm to boost sale of pork products. They decided on an intensive campaign to saturate magazines television and radio with ads urging people to eat pork patties.
The campaign was given an extra boost when Congress was convinced to designate the second of February as the day when every family would be urged to eat pork sausage. That day would be celebrated nationally, of course, as ... Ground Hog Day.
And finally, this one for our anti-Obama faction
This year, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union address occur on the same day. As Air America Radio pointed out, "It is an ironic juxtaposition of events: one involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication while the other involves a groundhog."
Out of jokes ? I wouldn't count on that. U get it ?
Yes, and it was Saturday, Not Sunday. February 2nd is Groundhog Day.
Cheers Mate.
@ Yes I get it
If you're counting on me running out of jokes, you lose.
A bird was flying south for Winter, but he had left it too late and was frozen solid in a storm.
He dropped down into a pasture of cows. The biggest, fattest cow was doing a c rap there, and the bird landed in it. At first he was disgusted, until he realised the poo was thawing him out!
He started crying out for joy as the ice melted. A cat that was nearby heard the cries, walked over, saw the bird and ate it
There are three morals to this story:
1. Not everyone who gets you into s hit is your enemy
2. Not everyone who gets you out of s hit is your friend
3. If you are in s hit, keep your mouth shut
A drill sergeant had just chewed out one of his cadets, and as he was walking away, he turned to the cadet and said, "I guess when I die you'll come and dance on my grave." The cadet replied, "Not me, Sarge...no sir! I promised myself that when I got out of the Army I'd never stand in another line!"
I'd probably stand in that line.
The class assignment in composition was to write about something unusual that happened during the past week. Little Irving got up to read his. "Papa fell in the well last week – " he began. "Good heavens," shrieked Mrs. Kroop, the teacher. "Is he all right now?" "He must be," said little Irving. "He stopped yelling for help yesterday."
Are they blocking you again ?
Hello banasy

NWSB Managing Editor reports today that in 2012 NFL Free agency the Seattle Seahawks have signed former Green Bay Packers quarterback and prized free agent Matt Flynn. He'll be in competition for the starting quarterback job in Seattle with incumbant Tarvaris Jackson. Pete Carroll has got another QB to try and build this franchise around. We hope it works. More NFL signing to follow hopefully with Visanthe Shiancoe.

Modern Family Home by Dennis Gibbens Architects
This project consists of a two-story, 5,000-square-foot single family residence and guest house on a 12,000-square-foot property in Venice, California. The property is large for this section of Los Angeles, making it nicely sized for a young family of four.
The first floor plan is in the shape of a long bar and has an open arrangement of public rooms all looking on to the western half of the property. The living room is a double-height space. The exterior areas are comprised of a front garden, a private garden, an exterior covered area and various concrete deck areas, a sports court, and a swimming pool and spa.
The T-shaped second floor of the main house contains a large master suite and two children's bedrooms, a laundry room, an office and a large black-out media room. A guest house pool house is situated at the south end of the property on axis with the pool.
The main exterior materials are white stucco, glass and metal panel. Photo-voltaic panels on the roof provide a portion of the electricity for the residence.

Father Landry also gives sermons on contraception, something very few priests do. He says he relies on Pope John Paul II's argument against contraception, which he summarizes. "That God has made us fundamentally for love," Father Landry said, "and that marriage is supposed to help us to love for real. In order for that to happen, we need to totally give ourselves over to someone else in love, and receive the other's total self in love."What happens in the use of contraception, rather than embracing us totally as God made the other, with the masculine capacity to become a dad, or the feminine capacity to become a mom, we reject that paternal and maternal leaning."Father Landry argues that contraception can be the gateway to exploitation: "When that petition is made for contraception, it's going to make pleasure the point of the act, and any time pleasure becomes the point rather than the fruit of the act, the other person becomes the means to that end. And we're actually going to hurt the people we love."Many non-Catholics — and many Catholics — see the church's teaching on contraception as cruel toward women. But Father Landry says it's women who intuitively get how divorcing sex from procreation allows men to use them; in his experience, it is almost always the woman who moves a couple toward abandoning artificial contraception.

Oh come on. Get off your high horse, the zen tradition has a long and shocking history of sexual abuse: from the servant boys most temple priests kept to now with EVERY major zen center in the US having an abuse history of some kind or another.
To take your line of reasoning to its conclusion leaves no one able to say anything about anybody....all your anger is at yourself, the catholic church is a great stand in. Keep sitting, maybe one of these days...... - 4:39 PM

I've critiqued those issues in the Zen tradition. Your comment reeks of the < i>tu quoque< /i> fallacy. - 10:31 PM
you sidestep my point: this seems to be a common tactic, label the logic as flawed and use Latin while doing so and poof the argument is discredited. Magic!
Come on. Anyone with a napoleonesque drive to be right could conjure these familiar platitudes (you are short aren't you). - 11:15 AM

What point?

Argentina-Germany memorable rivalry
Published 8:59 pm, Friday, July 11, 2014
PORTO SEGURO, Brazil — Diego Maradona was reportedly so struck by stage fright that he called for his mother's help as Argentina players sat in silence in their changing room before the 1986 World Cup final against West Germany.
But it was Maradona who provided the moment of brilliance that decided the game and gave Argentina its second title before 114,800 fans at the Azteca stadium in Mexico City. Four years later, Maradona was in tears as the Germans lifted the title in Rome's Olympic stadium.
Argentina and Germany have a long and emotional World Cup rivalry involving some of the best players to grace the game. When they face each other again on Sunday in Rio De Janeiro's Maracana Stadium, it will be the third World Cup final between the teams — something no other two nations have accomplished.
The 1986 and 1990 finals are still two of the most talked about games in football history.
In 1986, Maradona was at the summit of his career and scored all four of Argentina's goals in the quarterfinals and semifinals — including the "hand of God" against England. Franz Beckenbauer was in charge of Germany in his first major tournament as coach.
Germany's camp was in disarray, and goalkeeper Uli Stein was sent home for insulting Beckenbauer. Journalists shared a hotel with the players and their nightly escapades became tabloid lore.
But the Germans plodded on and beat France 2-0 in the semifinals, even though the Michel Platini-led French team had been widely expected to face Argentina in the final.
And so, in the noon-time heat of the awe-inspiring Azteca, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Maradona led their sides out. The Germany captain was playing injured throughout the tournament and had not scored.
Jose Luis Brown's header and Jorge Valdano's goal on a counterattack gave Argentina a 2-0 lead and Maradona's team appeared to be cruising. Then the Germans struck back.
Rummenigge and substitute Rudi Voeller scored from Andreas Brehme's free kicks and suddenly it was 2-2 with eight minutes to play.
Maradona had been marked by Lothar Matthaeus, who did a good job throughout the match. But with the Germans trying to use the momentum and grab the winner, the ball took a weird bounce in midfield and Maradona sent Jorge Burruchaga racing with a deft left-foot flick. Burruchaga beat the offside trap and Argentina had the title.
Years later, Valdano told Germany's Spiegel magazine that Maradona was so nervous before the final that he called for his mother, Tota.
"'Tota, come and help me, I am afraid, you must help me,"' Valdano described the scene as Maradona broke the pre-match silence in the dressing room.
Four years after that game, Beckenbauer became the first man to win the World Cup as both player and coach.
Germany dominated the final, outshooting Argentina 23-1 but the South Americans held on despite having two men sent off, Pedro Monzon and Gustavo Dezotti, a first for a World Cup final.

Come January 1st, 2013, residents making minimum wage in Portland (and the rest of Oregon) are going to get a little boost to their income, which should help ease those struggling to make it. While $26 a month might not sound like much money, it's enough to get a few more meals on tables and that's a tremendous thing.
When Jan. 1 hits, cost-of-living hikes will boost Oregons minimum wage by 15 cents.
The new rate, of $8.95 per hour, would mean an extra $312 a year, according to the Silverton-based Oregon Center for Public Policy.
Oregon voters had approved a measure tying the states minimum wage to cost-of-living increases in 2002.
Strengthening the buying power of low-wage workers is especially critical in this economic climate, said Chuck Sheketoff, the Centers executive director, in a release. He pointed out that 60 percent of jobs lost during the recession were middle-wage positions while 58 percent of the newly created jobs during the recovery were low-wage occupations.

Bungie's Marathon Franchise Lovingly Recreated for iOS
Daniel Blezek was one fan of Marathon who really wanted to see the game come to iOS. Bungie couldn't take time out of their busy schedule to port such an old game to a new device, so Daniel asked if he could do it himself. Bungie gave its blessing and in his free time, between raising 5 kids and working full time as programmer, Daniel managed to recreate not only all 27 levels of the original Marathon, but also port over the entirety of Marathon 2. He even built in a super-special "Master Chief Mode," because he's just that swell of a guy.
Daniel may also be crazy, because he's giving away both Marathon games for free. Just hop on the App Store and download them and they're yours for absolutely nada. So why not grab a copy and support a passionate fan who just wants to share the thing he loves with the rest of us?

The finest dulcimer tuners you can install on your instrument! Crafted from machined brass with sealed lubrication. Five-Star® tuners are assembled in our factory. They feature 4:1 ratio planetary gearing, and fit dulcimer pegboxes with 5/16" to 3/8" wall thickness. Nickel-plated, 3/8" diameter peghole required.
Five-Star Dulcimer Tuning Pegs By Bernd Krause from Maine, NY Wednesday, September 10, 2014 Verified Buyer As I mentioned in a previous post, I've been using these tuners for over 25 years and they work great. Never a problem and feel they are the best dulcimer tuners out there. However the new packaging is going overboard. They use to come 4 to a plastic sealed bag; stored nice, easy open. I just received my latest order and they are in a ridiculously large box that easily holds 14 sets in the same space. What's up with that? Total waste of packaging and space especially when shipping. In this day of environmentally less packaging you use more?? And this can't be inexpensive either. Drop the price of a set a few dollars and go back to the previous method. Again, great tuners; lousy packaging!!!
best dulcimer tuners By Bernd Krause from Maine, NY Thursday, December 22, 2011 Verified Buyer I've been building dulcimers for over 33 years. for the past 20+ years I have been using these tuners on all my dulcimers. I have never had problems with them, even on ones that have been in use for those 20+ years. I put a lot of effort building a top notch instrument and need a top notch tuner that I can count on. I don't mind telling my customers these are the best dulcimer tuners available.
Excellent! By Goodin from Knoxville, TN, USA Tuesday, November 22, 2011 Verified Buyer 5 stars for sure! I installed these on my last two dulcimer builds and they look great. Although they are more expensive than most tuners they are very high quality and turn with ease. they look great with the ebony knobs that StewMac sells.
Azerbaijan Tar By Tar Teacher from Azerbaijan Friday, January 14, 2011 Verified Buyer I installed these pegs on my Tar (a traditional music instrument of Azerbaijan and Iran) and I loved them. I am still installing these pegs on my students instruments. thanks to Stewmac. I wish Stewmac mangers were open to new proposals like this and they could design a proper peg for Azeri instruments like Tar, Kamancha, Qopuz. As you see in the picture I had to modify the peg head in order to match with the original look of Tar.

Wow. You can see the Daniels & Fisher tower in the background – odd to see 16th street looking West with cars on it. The current view is of the pedestrian mall that has been there since around the time they demolished the Centre.

Airborne Assault: Highway to the Reich PC
- Publisher: Matrix Games
- Release Date: Dec 10, 2003
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Computer Games MagazineOne of the most realistic wargaming experiences in years. [Apr 2004, p.74]
PC GamerA distinguished sim of the most fascinating and closely run campaing ever fought on the Western Front. Grognards will love its depth, and newbies can catch up fairly easily. [Mar 2004, p.77]
This is truly a grognard's game. If you dont know what that means, youre probably not one. If you do and you are you will be refreshed and inspired.
You can buy sexier RTS games, but you won't find a more realistic one than Highway to the Reich. Its 2D presentation may not dazzle, but it's capable of revealing the gritty nature of warfare.
A game that will prove very difficult for the casual strategy gamer, and a real challenge to the hardcore gamer. Either playing against the CPU or a human enemy, the best battle plan will win through in the end.
The elegant gameplay system makes it one of the most accessible operational-level wargames we've ever played, and it's worth your time if you're a veteran wargame fan or if you've been thinking about jumping into wargaming.
As good a war simulation as this is, it tends to be so thorough in its attention to historical accuracy that unless you wear a lot of tweed and smoke a pipe, youd probably do well to stick to your Battlefield 1942 mods. Fast-paced this aint.
Computer Gaming WorldTakes the original game, upgrades it slightly, expands its cope, and adds and editor. Put together, it's a pretty good package. [Feb 2004, p.91]
It is complex, deep, challenging, and it is a title that requires a lot of patience. It is not much for presentation, but what it lacks in finesse it more than makes up for in gameplay.
Most people will not be able to get past the visuals let alone the games insane amount of depth. Those who give it a try will find an enjoyable experience, though.
Theres tons of play time with 34 different scenarios, and the ability to modify existing ones or create your own (plus multiplayer) just adds to the replay value of the game. The downside is that the game is also extremely confusing and challenging due to the detail.

Advertisement The patent is for a mobile phone that looks like Sony's Xperia Play, with a slide-out design. Interestingly, the patent is focusing on the idea that the part sliding out is interchangeable, so it can be a keyboard or, for gaming purposes, a control pad arrangement.Given Windows phones are the third wheel in the mobile gaming space behind Android and iOS, it's understandable Microsoft would be at least looking at ways to improve their, well, game. Advertisement But I can't help but thinking it would be a half-assed competitor to Sony's half-assed Xperia Play. What Microsoft would need to compete in the mobile gaming space would be a serious Vita competitor (something it's understandably been reluctant to do) and not a gimmick phone.But remember, this being a patent application, that's all it is: thinking. It's not a product reveal, nor a definitive statement of intent.MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE HAVING MULTIPLE, INTERCHANGEABLE SECOND DEVICES [USPTO, via Eurogamer]You can contact Luke Plunkett, the author of this post, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Gaya is situated about 92 kms. south of Patna and 15 kms. north of Bodh Gaya. Gaya is one of the most important pilgrimage places for the Hindus and Buddhists. This town derives its name from Gayasur, a demon who was an ardent devotee of Vishnu. Gaya lies between Pretshila and Ramshila hills and is washed by the shores of river Phalgu. Gaya is the city which Vishnu is said to have blessed with power to absolve all temporal sins in the same way like Varanasi. This place draws Hindus to the various sacred shrines where they offer prayers and perform the saraddha ceremony for their forefathers and take a dip in the holy river Phalgu. Here, cremations take place on the funeral pyres in the burning ghats along the river.
The main places of tourist interest in Gaya is the Vishnupad Temple and Sujata Sthan.
Vishnupad Temple Vishnupad Temple is situated in the centre of the town. This temple is believed to have been built on the sacred footsteps of Vishnu which is also preserved in the temple on a rock set in a silver basin. This grand temple was renovated by Rani Ahalyabai, the queen of Indore in 1787. This 30 m high temple has 8 rows of beautifully carved pillars which support the mandapa or pavilion. Only, Hindus are permitted to visit the temple. Within the temple stands the immortal banyan tree 'Akshayabat' where the final rituals for the dead takes place. It is believed that a Hindu will reach heaven if his last rites are offered under this tree. This place is also believed to be the one under which the Buddha meditated for six years.
Sujata Sthan Sujata Sthan or Durgeshwari Temple is situated in Gaya. According to legend, one day, while Buddha was doing severe penance, he became weak, tired and hungry. He rested under a tree where a condemned village woman named Sujata offered him food, To everybody's surprise Buddha accepted her offerings. After having consumed the food, Buddha's countenance assumed a divine glow and he realised the Supreme Truth that neither extreme self indulgence nor self-mortification is ever required. What is needed is to follow the Middle Path. Sujata Sthan or Durgeshwari Temple stands as a symbol commemorating this event.
Deo Deo is situated about 20 kms. from Gaya. The Surya temple is situated here which is dedicated to the Sun God. This temple attracts large crowds in the month of November, when Chhath puja is celebrated.
Barabar Caves The Barabar Caves are situated about 40 kms. from Gaya. These caves belong to the 3rd century B.C. and the earliest examples of the Buddhist rock cut caves. Due to the tolerance required by the Buddhism, the Emperor Ashoka permitted the non-Buddhists to practice their religion, which led to the creation of the rock-cut temples in a form of reverse architecture.
By Air: The airport in Gaya is connected with Calcutta, Dhanbad and Patna. By Rail: Gaya is also connected by rail with other regions of the country as it is located on the Grand Chord line of Delhi-Calcutta section of the eastern railway. By Road: Gaya is connected by road to Bodh Gaya, Patna, Nalanda and Rajgir.

The initial reviews for I'm Not Rappaport were mixed. "There is something stealthily attractive and winning about Herb Gardner's rambunctiously funny play," says Clive Barnes in his review in the New York Post. Barnes says that it is "precisely the kind of play, full of middle-brow brilliance and crafty craft, that Broadway needs to survive." Likewise, in his review of the play for Today, David Shannon notes: "The jabbering of two geriatrics may not sound like electrifying drama. In this case it is."

Vogue Girl releases 'couple shots' of Sulli and Minho
Recently chosen to play lead roles in SBS upcoming drama To The Beautiful You, f(x)s Sulli and SHINees Minho participated in a couple photo shoot for Vogue Girl magazine.
Sulli recently chopped off her long locks in order to play a female student disguised as a male in the drama, and the singer gave off the feel of a reserved and handsome lad as she displayed her boyish charm for this shoot.
To the Beautiful You is based off the original best-selling Japanese comic Hana Kimi, and it has already been turned into a successful drama in Japan.
During an interview that took place at the shoot, Sulli commented, I felt a huge burden when I first received this role ,but I felt like it was a role that I could pull off really well.
Minho then added, I want to show the viewers my own unique character thats different from what Oguri Shun displayed in the Japanese version of the drama.
Meanwhile, you can check out the rest of the photos from Sulli and Minhos shoot in the August publication of Vogue Girl magazine.

Wonderful image. Did you publish this previously? I think I've seen it before. Excellent entry.

This is the first time I have posted it on JPG, but this is a popular attraction at the prison, so it might have been another photographer.
