Happy Birthday, Ryan Gosling: 32 Reasons to Love Him So (PHOTOS)
The talented and beautiful Ryan Gosling turns 32 today! Just 32 years young, can you believe it? Happy Birthday, Ryan.
Not sure how we all got so lucky to get to be walking on a planet that's repeatedly showered (omg, showered ... Ryan Gosling ... gulp!) in Ryan Gosling films, which also means lots of Ryan Gosling sightings and press events and red carpet premieres, and, of course, the films themselves. After all, Ryan is not only my #1 crush, but he's also one of my favorite actors. He can act! He can really act! God bless America!
So let's celebrate a happy 32 and a happy 32 more with an ode to Ryan Gosling. 32 reasons that we love him so!
1. Ryan Gosling is the real deal and baby, he was born this way.
2. He was a Mouseketeer! With Justin Timberlake!
3. He's playing it totally cool about the Christian Grey role. He knows it's in the bag if he wants it.
4. The man has inspired his very own Ryan Gosling manicure.
5. Swoon. He plays piano!
6. He declined an offer to audition for the Backstreet Boys but decided to pursue acting instead. Brilliant move!
7. RyGos's viral alter ego is a feminist (and now a book too).
8. He inspired the most brilliant political meme of the 2012 Election: Paul Ryan Gosling.
9. Ryan Gosling saves lives, for goodness sake! (Save me!)
10. His danger fantasies are hot.
11. He has a fine appreciation for older women. As he should. (Call me!)
12. He has personally inspired an impressive number of Tumblr sites.
13. Even though we're jealous of his girlfriend Eva Mendes. It's nice to believe Ryan is no commitment-phobe. I love how he held her hand at the Toronto International Film Festival.
14. Four words: Ryan Gosling Coloring Book.
15. One of my favorite movies in the world: Lars & the Real Girl. Such a good film.
16. His next film Gangster Squad, which had to be reworked after the Aurora shootings, is due out in January 2013.
17. We'll soon get to see Ryan interacting with real-life girlfriend Eva Mendes in their new film, The Place Beyond the Pines, which is set to hit theaters in March 2013. He's playing a new dad on the cusp of turning criminal to support his wife and kid. Swoon!
18. Ryan had to learn Muay Thai (a kickboxing-like combat sport in Thailand) for his role as a British gangster living in Bangkok. The film is titled Only God Forgives and also comes out next year.
19. Hey girl, Ryan's a writer and director now, too. How to Catch a Monster, which also stars Christina Hendricks, is due out in 2014. Director Ryan. Mmmhmm. (Direct me!)
20. There's more, too. He's also been spotted on the set of Terrence Malick's new film smooching and slow dancing with co-star and Girl With the Dragon Tattoo star Rooney Mara. All I've heard is love triangles in Austin, TX (I'm in!). No word on when that'll be out.
21. Clearly, this man is unstoppable! Keep 'em coming, Ryan!
Reasons 22-32 shall be revealed in photos. Obviously. Sure, it's Ryan's birthday but now it'll feel like your birthday too! Enjoy!
Why do you love Ryan Gosling?

An Encounter with Jeffrey Tambor
Photo by G.
Jeffrey/Geoffrey power! I've met actor Jeffrey Tambor many times over the years and he's a really cool guy. Every time I see him, he seems to have recently appeared in something I really like ("Larry Sanders Show," and this time "Arrested Development"). In addition to being in great programs, he has the best name on the planet (even though he spells it differently). Love him! Thanks Jeffrey!

thepig23 needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 144 designs submitted by 33 freelance designers.
Placement Ads
Placementads.com is a revolutionary ad marketplace for the social networking industry. Our goal is simple - to help users monetize their social audience following. Our site allows users to buy and sell sponsored videos, tweets, and facebook fan links.
Publisher side: Web savvy, hip, and popular internet users of youtube, facebook, & twitter.
Advertiser side: Advertisers looking for a cost effective solution to build their brands from social media
This project calls for a redesign of our site - homepage, user dashboard page and the advanced search page.
The logo will be made available for designers in ai format. All designs are allowed freedom to add/remove/change tabs, navigation, features, categories, etc. Please look at the current design as a baseline of what should be included in the designs.
Since this is an ad marketplace site, the primary goal of the homepage should be to get users to know what the site is about - earning money for placing ads on their social sites, and to sign up as an advertiser or publisher. There should be a clear call to action to signup and maybe a section or cleaver artwork to explain what the site is about and how it works. signup - place a sponsored placement ad - earn money
We are looking for a redesign that makes the site more professional, appealing, sleek, userfriendly and trustworthy. Maybe add somewhere on the homepage a featured Placementad videos, how it works, etc.
Some sites for reference with similar business models are
login as a user: pub123 // 123abc to view the user's dashboard. Currently it is very cluttered, and not optimised for easy of user navigation. The "featured advertiser" on the right column needs to be replaced with something more userful to the users.
For the search page, maybe change it to 2 columns like youtube's advanced video search: youtube.com/videos

by Punchy » Thu Jun 21, 2012 11:51 amEven though this issue didn't actually feature Daredevil taking on Doctor Doom (hey, it's the battle of the DDs, insert a joke about boobs here), it was still awesome, and I say that despite the fact I had completely gotten the ending of #13, I had thought it had something to do with Klaw and that DD (referring to Daredevil here, not Doom) had been replaced ages ago, but instead it was just a simple (sic) teleportation. Daredevil comes face to face with the head of the Latverian bank, and after a seemingly harmless gas attack, he's free to go, but in a brilliant bit of characterisation, he plays right into the villain's hands by attacking them, Daredevil really doesn't look before he leaps. A thrilling chase through Latveria ensues, with this issue really evoking the character's swash-buckling roots, he's in a country that looks straight out of a Douglas Fairbanks movie. Of course, the gas Daredevil inhaled wasn't actually harmless, but instead slowly takes away his senses, which adds a race against time element to the story. I absolutely love that at the end of this issue DD totally failed to escape, it undercut the story beautifully, and shocked me a lot, I can't wait to see how he eventually does get out of this situation, and hopefully see him actually come face to face with Doom. Chris Samnee's art was fantastic, his first issue was a slow, character issue, but here he got to unleash his action chops, and it was awesome. Oh yeah, and more intrigue back in NYC with Foggy worrying about Matt, what's in the drawer? I'm guessing it's Battlin' Jack's skull!
by Johnny Smith » Thu Jun 21, 2012 2:29 pmI hope Zechs didn't feel ripped off, purchasing a book with Doom on the cover but not appearing in the story
by Zechs » Thu Jun 21, 2012 3:26 pm
Since I haven't gotten my comics. Instead, I shall simply just put this back on the rack. No Doom equals no purchase from me.
by chap22 » Thu Jun 21, 2012 3:30 pm
your loss. missing a great book.
you should also pick up this week's Dark Avengers (yes, that's a hint), for more than just the chance to see Man-Thing say "Y'all tha snitches that got me my riches" (although dammit, that should be reason enough! )
by Zechs » Thu Jun 21, 2012 3:49 pm
Not really.. it'll free me money to buy Punisher.

What you talking about? Rucka is writing the best Punisher since.. Aaron. Okay the best 616 Punisher since Ennis.

I'd like to see the Punisher just straight up be killed by a Doombot. Forever.

Ha! That line in DA had me rolling! And a decent explanation to boot! But yeah, you're missing you if you skip Daredevil...it was really, really good.
by Johnny Smith » Fri Jun 22, 2012 9:27 am
It's either the skull or a collection of bones. I can't wait to see how Matt talks his way out of this one. Looks like the partnership is over.
Also the webmaster of this DD site made a cameo in this issue as the guy cleaning up the law offices:

by Stephen Day » Sun Jun 24, 2012 11:39 amI liked Chancellor Beltane, he made for an interesting adversary. Has he appeared before?
However, I will say that I echo the thought that it was a little disappointed to see no Doom.

Ethan Morgan
|Full Name
Ethan Morgan
|Resides in
17 Orchard Park Whitechapel, Ontario Canada
|Eye Color
Brown (white when having visions)
|Hair Color
Unnamed (great-great-grandfather)
Sarah (girlfriend)
Benny Weir (best friend)
|First Episode
|Last Episode
The Date to End All Dates (Part 2)
|Portrayed By
He later musters up the courage to ask crush, best friend, supernatural partner Sarah on a date. They indeed begin to develop a romantic relationship in two part season finale, The Date to End All Dates. Aside from being part of two different worlds, Ethan accepts Sarah just the way she is, even if it means she is a vampire.
Awkward and sweet, Ethan just wants to have a normal high school experience, continue his unbroken streak on the honor roll and maybe date a girl. But two things make that almost impossible: The constant paranormal chaos of Whitechapel, and Benny. In the movie and season 1 he's a freshman along with Benny. Ethan is a Seer, meaning able to see visions through touch. His visions usually help him learn more about supernatural forces and how to defeat them. It is not known where and how he inherited this power. Ethan and his friends are mainly known as nerds at Whitechapel High, a fact Ethan is more sensitive about than Benny or Rory. Ethan is understood most by Benny, whom he has been best friends with since childhood. He loves playing video games and is book-smart. He is very persuadable, because of which he usually goes along with Benny in his schemes. He is also shown to care for his loved ones and will go to any height to protect them. He is in the chess club along with Benny. Although Benny often gets the two of them into sticky situations, Ethan is usually able to find a way out. In the second season, it's Ethan's second year in Whitechapel High and while surviving typical High School drama, he attempts to use his smarts to figure out a cure for vampirism after the incident where Sarah bit him.
Ethan is also quite a brave person, although often seeming timid, easily frightened and prone to shocks, he is always able to overcome his fears and confront them when the need requires him to. This becomes even more apparent in season two, where he becomes brave enough to storm the Vampire Council, and let a car possessed by an angry spirit chase him to stop it hurting anyone else. He also becomes more confident in season two.
As a Seer, Ethan has the power of premonition. This ability allows Ethan to see and experience events from the past, present and future. Mostly, Ethan has recieved his premonitions by touching objects or people that are somehow related to the supernatural by way of psychometry. On occasion, he is able to recieve premonitions without having to touch objects.
A secondary ability is he can see and hear ghosts, who are naturally invisible to all others, ghosts can also absorb his psychic energy to power themselves.
He was also considerably more resistant (but not immune) to Lucia's mind control than anyone else, presumably down to his Seer abilities, as one of his visions was able to free him from it. He was also able to resist Olivia's possession, better than anyone else. He was also more resilent to Stern's curse,than even Benny's Grandma.
By The Date To End All Dates, his abilities have grown, to the point where he develops Telepathy, and is able to enter others minds to talk to them, or sense things from them.
Mentally, Ethan is also often shown to be highly intelligent, especially with computers, for instance he was able to crack a ten thousand word encryption password on a satellite in under a minute. He is also very good at problem solving and finding solutions to situations, he's also a reasonably capable strategist, he even describes himself as the group's strategist and the main reason they succeed in Independence Daze. Ethan's also good at thinking on his feet, allowing him to adapt quickly to situations when they do not go to plan. It is through his intelligence that Ethan is able to overcome much more powerful opponents.
In Halloweird, Ethan was temporarily turned into a Vampire (also known as Jakeward ) by a magic mask, he thus gained all a Vampires powers: Superhuman Strength, Super Speed Superhuman Hearing etc. However when the spell was broken, he lost them all when he turned back to normal.
There is a rumor that he is telekinetic, as well, but as of now this has been unconfirmed.
- Main article: Benthan
Benny is Ethan's best friend and is the spellmaster in the paranormal fighting trio. He and Benny are shown to be very close friends. It is stated that Benny and Ethan have been friends for a long time. Ethan often hangs out with Benny more than he does with Rory.
(2010-Present Best Friend;2010-Present Crush;2012-Present Girlfriend)
- Main article: Etharah
Sarah is Ethan's crush, best friend, girlfriend, and babysitter. It's been shown in both the movie and series how Ethan developed a crush on Sarah. In the movie, Ethan's crush on Sarah was first shown when he saw Sarah was his babysitter. Later, he told Sarah she's "so pretty". In the episode Blood Drive, Ethan offered to be Sarah's diet buddy, and when trading a pint of his blood, he let Sarah do it since he said he trusts her. In another episode (Smells Like Trouble), when Ethan learns that Benny's love potion makes Sarah love Ethan, he decides to do nothing about it. Ethan's crush on Sarah also gets stronger in that episode. Sarah also has a crush on Ethan. By season two Ethan has become much more confident around her. In the season 2 finale, Ethan and Sarah go on their first date. (The Date to End All Dates (Part 1)). Also, in the season 2 finale, Benny's grandma tells Sarah and Ethan that "Sarah is the one you want to protect most." and "Whatever teenager nonsense is going on right now, you two care about each other." (The Date to End All Dates (Part 2)) He often tries to flirt with Sarah but usually ends up messing up. Its likely that Ethan and Sarah ended up together since the series ended when they were dating.
- Main article: Rothan
- He and Sarah date at the end of season 2.
- He shares the same last name with Vanessa Morgan, the actress who plays his love interest, Sarah.
- He is apparently pure of heart, and as such was selected to be the sacrifice by the Mayan Sky Queen Lucia.
- He is uncomfortable eating things that can dance.
- Ethan has a fear of needles.
- Despite this fear, in the episode Fanged and Furious, Ethan used a needle to draw blood from Richard Bruner and didn't get scared by it. It was also mentioned that he drew blood from Benny occasionally to give to Sarah. Suggesting he either overcame the fear, or dulled it so he is only afraid when the needle is pointed at him.
- He was temporarily a werewolf. (Blue Moon)
- He almost became Lucia's sacrifice to the sun king.
- He has a very rare blood type, H deficient, thus making his blood very valuable to Vampires.
- Ethan's name is named after the writer of the episode Fanged and Furious, Ethan Banville.
- He can sing quite well (Inderpendence Daze, Flushed, Siren Song)
- He was temporarily a vampire (Halloweird)
- He got his driver's permit at the age of 16 (Fanged and Furious)
- According to Jesse, his great-great-grandfather was one of the men who trapped and burned Jesse's flock in the church. (My Babysitter's a Vampire)
- He was bitten by Jesse in (Jesse's back) but Sarah saved him from becoming a fledgling.

For a 9 hole course, it is very challenging. The course makes great use of the landscape and is championship caliber. Tees are rubber pads and cement tee pads would make this course an A for me.

I think it's one of the toughest 9 holes in Southern Wi. To many trees, you can't miss them all. Concrete tees would be the only improvments i would like to see.

Nice park, well maintained! Park on the street, otherwise it's a long walk. Hole 1 is on the south high side. Disc Catcher baskets, rubber tees & one big elevation. A small creek runs though the park, walking paths & roads, are excellent hazards though-out!

PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii – Walking across the field after practice, Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh was stopped by Buccaneers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy to joke around before a camera and prove they have no problem with each other.
Suh said the public misunderstands him.
"I wish people took the time to get to know me," Suh said.
Suh drew ire this season after he kicked Texans quarterback Matt Schaub in the groin during a game on Thanksgiving Day. Schaub later said he had nothing to say about "that player or that person" and added that Suh was not the type of player he would want on his team.
Suh reiterated Thursday that he did not intentionally kick Schaub.
"People kind of had their minds made up already," he said of the reaction to the kick. "I would never want to kick someone in that area."
Service personnel in Texans' corner
Amid the thousands of onlookers who lined the fence to watch Pro Bowl practices at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam on Thursday were a few Texans fans, some of them Houstonians stationed at the Air Force and Navy facility.
While this week's practices aren't open to the public, servicemen and women stationed at the base and their guests were allowed entrance.
Katie Sipps came dressed in a Texans jersey with her infant daughter. Brian Sipps, her husband, is a submariner on the USS Tucson and a Houston native.
"I should be a Seahawks fan, but the Texans are so much better," said Katie Sipps, who met her husband in Washington.
Last year, Sipps attended a practice. Pregnant at the time, she had cornerback Johnathan Joseph sign a onesie for her pending daughter. Her husband has told her that her next Texans jersey has to be a J.J. Watt one.
Several yards away, Ryan Vogt of Houston waited in the rain.
"I'm excited that J.J. Watt and Arian Foster are here to represent Houston," Vogt said.
Watt still has Manning on mind
Texans defensive end J.J. Watt wore a microphone during Wednesday's practice and was overheard asking when the players could start interception drills.
"I don't think Peyton's (Manning) going to like it when we bat his balls down today," said Watt, who had 21/2 sacks, seven tackles, four tackles for loss and three quarterback hits in the Texans' 31-25 victory at Denver.
Peers have praise for Johnson
Several players had words of praise for Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson.
"I love Dre," Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald said. "I think he's still got a lot of really good football left in the tank.
"What he was able to accomplish against Jacksonville and in the Detroit game to set the all-time record in consecutive games, it's a testament to his hard work and what he's been able to go through."

Falcons defensive end John Abraham knows where he ranks on the NFL's all-time career sack list, and he likes where his ranking puts him among the great pass rushers in NFL history.
In fact, Abraham told Mike Garafolo of USA Today that he believes as he keeps climbing up the sack charts, he's going to earn a spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
"I'm not saying I'm solidified as one, but I definitely have a chance to be if I continue to play the way I'm playing and get a couple of more years out of this raggedy body of mine and put some more numbers up," Abraham said. "I'm 13th overall right now [in career sacks] and, if I can play well enough, I can get in the top 10 or top five. That would be nice."
Abraham has 122 sacks in his career, and with five more he'll pass Hall of Famer Derrick Thomas for No. 12 all time. The 34-year-old Abraham, who has 10 sacks through 13 games this season, could realistically record 38.5 more sacks in his career, which is what he needs to move ahead of Kevin Greene for No. 3 all time. But Greene has been voted down several times by the Hall of Fame Selection Committee, so there's no guarantee that reaching No. 3 all time would put Abraham in Canton.
And Abraham doesn't have any realistic chance of passing Bruce Smith and Reggie White, who at 200 and 198 sacks respectively are first and second in NFL history. So No. 3 all-time is as high as Abraham is going to get. (It's also worth noting that sacks have only been an official statistic since 1982, so we'll never know how many sacks some of the great players of the past, like Deacon Jones, recorded.)
So while Abraham has had a career he deserves to be proud of, he probably needs at least a few more good years before he gets to Canton. And even that may not be enough.

A new Nature Climate Change editorial (subs. req.) has a very useful graph (2 variants) that I have been looking for:
Note first the y-axis: global CO2-emissions in Petagrams of carbon per year. This unit is different from the other common unit used: CO2 concentrations. The emissions eventually lead to the concentrations. This is only the CO2 emissions, not CO2-equivalent, which might be a better variable but introduces more complexity in analysis.
Let's go through the lines on the graph before we discuss them. The "IS92" lines (a-f; light blue dashed) were the emission scenarios developed for the 1992 Supplementary Report to the IPCC Assessment. There are 40 SRES scenarios shown (thin green lines) and 6 illustrative scenarios (thick green dashed lines) that the IPCC developed for the 4th Assessment Report (AR4). These are the scenarios most people discuss: A1B, B2, etc. For the upcoming AR5, CO2 emissions form the basis of the scenarios. There are ways to convert from one to the other, which is how all of these different scenarios can be plotted together. The AR5 scenarios are labeled according to the anomalous forcing value expected in the year 2100 and a "Representative Concentration Pathway". Thus, RCP3 represents 3 W/m^2 forcing due to CO2 concentrations. You can see what has to happen to global emissions to achieve this relatively low forcing value by the end of the century. Alternatively, there is an RCP4.5, RCP6, and RCP8.5 pathway. As a side note, my work will likely utilize the RCP8.5 pathway because we will most likely continue to move down this pathway for the foreseeable future.
Historical emissions are the black dots/line. The estimate for 2012 emissions is the red dot. It is obvious to see that our historical emissions has tracked near the top of any set of emissions scenarios (IS92-E, IS92-F, A1FI, A2, and A1B) and not the middle or bottom. That has implications in climate policy because most scientific studies performed to date have focused on the low to moderate scenarios. The reason is simple: most climate scientists thought there would be no chance of inaction once people saw what was likely to happen using even low or moderate emission scenarios. In general, scientists were wrong. The world has continued to increase the amount of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere, with "average annual growth rates of 1.9% per year in the 1980s, 1.0% per year in the 1990s, and 3.1% per year since 2000," as I've covered in 2011 and earlier in 2012. The post-2000 increase is largely due to China and India.
The lead author of the report posted different form of this graph and included yet another call to action that the world will ignore:
A quick note: the RCP3 scenario's absurdity becomes more clear post-2060: emissions have to turn negative to achieve 3 W/m^2 by 2100! Is anyone aware of technologies that remove emissions from the atmosphere in excess of what we emit to the atmosphere? Put another way, emissions would have to decrease to near-zero in addition to deployment of removal infrastructure. I obviously wasn't involved scenario development, but it strikes me as incredibly myopic to include this pathway in climate scenarios: it exists only as a fantasy, especially when you realize that important feedback processes are still not understood well enough to include them in modeling efforts.
The main point of this graph is valid though: on our current emissions trajectory, global warming of 4–6.1 °C is likely. Given recent studies showing more sensitivity to temperature changes one order of magnitude less than this that has already started to generate real-world changes, no one can say with certainty what a 4°C rise in global temperature above the pre-industrial average will cause.
Now, I must make a very important point here. This does not mean the end of civilization or the world. Our species is remarkably adaptive to a wide range of conditions. While our species has never lived in a world that warm, we have enormous advantages over our ancestors: technology. The world might not look like it does today, and we will of course not live in the same way, but I firmly believe that whatever changes we make will allow the great majority of us to continue to live.
That is not to say that we should do nothing at all. I have made quite clear that the current approach (UNFCCC & IPCC) has proven itself to not work. I do not know exactly what the correct approach will be, but I think remaining in a failed paradigm is a bad idea moving forward. We must make new efforts – the more the merrier in the short-term so we can evaluate what does and does not work. My line of thought has developed to this: I think groups must initiate smaller efforts, and indeed I think in some cases they already have. Regional cohesive groups generally know better what works for them and why. A good place to start on a larger scale would be to work to understand why certain actions work in some places better than others and put policies in place to exploit those opportunities.
But 2°C is not achievable by any means that I can see. Neither is 350ppm CO2 concentration. Scientists and activists alike should cast aside these hard to understand numbers. A focus on other goals: energy portfolios, land use, and adaptation plans make more sense (different numbers since we tend to operate that way).

The Goa Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI), which has intermediated the efforts to get the loans restructured, today said the banks have already begun the debt restructuring process.
Canara Bank, which has an exposure of Rs 37 crore, has already begun recasting the loan, while Corporation Bank is also in the process of loan recast, the chamber said.
"The RBI during a recent meeting of the empowered committee in Goa had told the banks that they had no objections for restructuring the debt of the mining industry if they are based on the prescribed guidelines," GCCI president Manguirish Pai Raikar told PTI.
According to a rough estimate, banks have around Rs 1,300 crore exposure to the troubled industry. Loan servicing had been hit after mining came to a standstill in the state.
There are 22,000 trucks and 400-odd ships in the state transporting ore from different parts of Goa to the ports.
The RBI has also asked the banks to tell borrowers to opt for alternative source of business so that the loan amount does not turn into a bad debt, Raikar said, adding the borrowers would be given a breathing space till they manage alternative source of income.


text: I followed the great tutorial about Xen and CentOS 6.2 (http://www.howtoforge.com/virtualiz...aravirtualization-and-hardware-virtualization) Getting this up and running was not a problem, the tutorial was clear and easy to follow. There is only one thing I want to do. When using yum install kernel-xen xen, you will get an old kernel (2.6) and because there is already an 3.3.7 kernel which has several good options I would like to use that one instead of the 2.6 kernel. I found some tutorials about Debian and an 3.x kernel with Xen but have not enough acknowledge of converting Debian to CentOS regarding commands and used tools. I know how to build an kernel, but not how to do this with Xen. Is there someone who can tell me how to do it? It would be great.

I think it could be Rob too because at some point he says that he hates following the blondes ........then I can see karma boomerang as his car breaks down. Lucky for him it looks like the Cho's are really " LOST ". I hope when Chateau gets some time we can get pitstop estimates because it sure looks like T/J are slightly ahead of the BQ's. And the clue tells us that they are the two teams that are the front runners.I see it as T/JBQ'sR/KBama'sChos ba bye

Quote from: qingher on November 15, 2006, 03:33:16 AMI mean the earliest flight out off Helsinki-Vantaa is not until 9:25 am the next day Then all the teams will bunch at the airport. This is somewhat supported by seeing T/J and the Cho brothers at the opera house together

The 2012 Tour de France features 22 teams and 198 riders in cycling's biggest race. The pros will battle it out over 2,173 miles of steep mountain passes, quaint country villages and hectic sprint finishes. Only a lucky few will get the chance to win a coveted stage of this year's race. It's a life-changing experience for the pros – from that point on, they can say that they won a stage of cycling's most famous race.
So we thought it's time to share the acclaim. You probably won't be lining up to contest the prologue in Liege, Belgium or the next 20 stages across France – but you could be selected as a Performance Bike Stage Winner! We're going to randomly select one lucky participant as our Stage Winner after every stage of the Tour. Each winner will be highlighted with his or her photo on the Performance Bike Facebook page after the Grand Depart in Liege on Saturday, June 30 all the way to the triumphant finish on the Champs-Elysees on July 22. Our Stage Winner will receive the never ending fame that comes with being a Performance Bike Stage Winner – plus a $30 Performance Gift Card to commemorate our 30th Anniversary!
How do you become our next Stage Winner? Just head out for a ride and have someone take a picture of you riding your bike. Show us your climbing prowess, your suffer face, your victory salute or your sprint finish. Or just a shot of you cruising down the bike path with your kids or hitting the local mountain bike trails – we're not as demanding as the pros and we don't have to comply with UCI rules!
Tweet your photo to @performance_inc with the #stagewinner hashtag or post it to our Stage Winner page on Facebook to enter. We'll pick a new winner every day of the Tour (even on rest days, just because it sounds like fun to "win" the rest day). You can only win one stage in our contest, but share as many photos as you like. We'll be posting our pics too – we hope you'll join us in our race to become a #stagewinner at the same time as the pros race in France!

Google's Childish Response To Microsoft Using Google To Increase Bing Relevance
from the get-over-it dept
This seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to do. Google's search results are public and as an established player in the market, almost every comparison of alternative search engines, including Bing, compares it to Google. So, making use of Google data to improve its own rankings seems like a rather smart move.
Remember, too, that Google's own search algorithm is based on viewing what people are doing online and coming up with a ranking based on that. How is that any different than Microsoft viewing a variety of information online -- including Google's own search rankings -- and using that as the basis of its own rankings? But instead of recognizing that this is all perfectly reasonable, Google starts acting like the RIAA, accusing Microsoft of "cheating" and doing something that is potentially illegal. It even pops out this line from Amit Singhal, a Google Fellow who apparently oversees Google's search ranking algorithm.
"I've got no problem with a competitor developing an innovative algorithm. But copying is not innovation, in my book."As if Google hasn't copied the work of others in the past? The very basis for the original Page Rank was "copied" from Jon Kleinberg's research and then built upon that work. It was not a direct copy, just as Microsoft's search results are not a direct copy. For Google to attack a competitor for using open information on the web -- the same way it does -- seems like the height of hypocrisy. It's fine for Google to crawl and index whatever sites it wants in order to set up its ranking algorithms, but the second someone looks at Google's own rankings as part of their own determination, suddenly its "cheating"?
This seems like the latest in a series of indications that Google has moved past the innovation stage into the "protecting its turf" stage. That would be a shame.

Thanks, Heidi and John, for the lovely stay. Especially enjoyed the room with the porch. Quiet, roomy and love the half bath in the room. What luxury!

We stayed for five glorious spring days at the Locust Tree and enjoyed every moment. Heidi, the hostess, accommodated every request we had, which included obtaining extra rooms for unexpected family members, and her breakfasts were hearty and delicious, trimmed by freshly made applesauce and jam. A perfect place to enjoy the leaves and Connecticut in the fall.

I spent two nights this week at The Locust Tree Bed and breakfast. The cleanliness, quality of food, and all aspects of the B&B were wonderful. I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
3.8 on February 19, 2015
arrived very late. They made that arrival very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent. Room for sleeping was very hot and cold.
4.6 on January 10, 2015
The owners were very nice, and the location excellent. The room we chose was close to the stairway, and noise from other guests arriving and leaving was not pleasant, The room itself was nice, and the bed comfortable.
4.2 on September 19, 2014
My husband and I have just returned from a lovely visit in Canaan, Connecticut; we stayed at the Locust Tree B&B. Our room was very comfortable and we enjoyed our hearty breakfasts as well as talking with our helpful, accommodating hostess. There is a wonderful view from the front porch overlooking the mountains through beautiful, tall trees on the spacious property.
4.0 on August 25, 2014
We stayed here for 2 nights while visiting family. The Locust Tree met or exceeded every expectation and I am a bit of a fussy traveler as I have traveled a great deal for business. It is not one of those fantasy B&B where you are sleeping on 100 year-old, hand-carved beds, or being served a 4-course breakfast and pretending you are a Rockefeller for the weekend. But it is also not $400/night. My husband summed it up best when he called it a "basic B&B", 100% comfortable, pleasant, and cleaner than just about every other place I've stayed. Everything in our room was well-maintained and operated perfectly. We both enjoyed 2 sound nights of sleep on the comfortable bed and woke to the smell of bacon cooking downstairs each morning. Breakfast was wonderfully delicious - especially the waffles. Heidi is a gracious innkeeper who multi-tasked between telling stories of the inn and cooking breakfast to order. All she wants to do is take good care of her guests and she treats everyone with the utmost respect. We were a bit late in leaving for our trip and when I called to say we would be in 2 hours late, she was completely unfazed and was waiting for us when we pulled in. You could not ask for anything more and I would gladly return and recommend it to all my friends.

The floor of our room had an extreme slope and was very slippery. My husband almost fell when he stepped on a throw rug. The railing provided for the steep stairway to the room was loose and could have been dangerous if a person grabbed it for support because he lost his balance. The liquid soap provided in the bathroom was tinted crimson to match the generous supply of fluffy towels. It seemed like a nice touch until I used it to wash my hands in the sink and realized the soap looked like blood in the sink. Not a good idea. The owner could not provide us with information on restaurants or activities in the area. In addition, her daughter and surly grandchildren had an awkward presence in the guests' dining area. This is the first B&B in which the owner's family added such a negative tone to the atmosphere. We had the impression we were not welcome in the living room, which seemed odd. There was a lovely second-story veranda, but it would not have been a nice retreat if the weather had been wet or cold. The room was spacious, but had just one straight-back chair and no upholstered chair for reading or watching TV. Otherwise, the furniture was nice, the bed was comfortable, and the TV was in good working order.
3.8 on May 02, 2014
Lovely bed and breakfast. The room was fine but small and very clean. The shower could have had more pressure. We would stay there again if in the area.
4.8 on April 20, 2014
This charming B&B is well worth the trip. The location is slightly further away than other more prominent B&B and reasonably priced. We traveled to and from Millerton, about 10 miles each way on country roads. Very pretty drive. The owners are gracious and friendly. We stayed in room #1. The bed is comfy and the room spacious. The second story porch wraps around 2 sides of the house. It was a wee bit chilly to sit out. Would love to come back again in warmer weather to sit and relax on the porch. Our online reservation was easily made and the response time was quick. We received a couple emails from Heidi welcoming us to the B&B. A great find would return.

My husband and I had tickets last night to Infinity Music Hall and wanted to stay over close to the hall. I found the Locust Tree on line so I booked Saturday night. Very nice Bed and Breakfast. Very clean and so easy to get to from Bristol CT. The breakfast Heidi made was awesome. We will DEFINITELY be back...

Heidi and John were so accommodating to our very big group of 4 siblings, grandparents, and lots of kids! They were so flexible with us on our sleeping situations, check in times, and were so kind and gracious. They made our stay for a nearby wedding very relaxing and stress free. Oh and the breakfast was awesome!!! This is such a terrific and clean b&b. We highly recommend it for anyone passing through the area. Thanks again Heidi and John! ... the Klepp Group
5 on June 14, 2011
My family has been staying at Locust Tree twice a year for 3 years now. My wife and I come to watch my son race at Limerock park which is only a few miles away, and my daughter comes as well. I think Locust Tree is the best B&B I have ever stayed at. It is clean and comfortable, with large airey rooms. The breakfast is great, and Heidi goes out of her way to provide you with whatever you want including special needs. The Lillis are very gracious hosts and make you feel like family. If you are traveling anywhere in this area, this is the place to stay.
5 on April 07, 2011
My family and I visited here this spring and loved it. I have two young children the Inn keepers were so great with them. They treated us like family. The Locust Tree was the cleanest place I have ever stayed. It has great hardwood floors all over. The family remodled it together and it is beautiful. I would stay here any time the rates were very competitve. and perfectly priced.
5 on February 26, 2011
We have been staying here since they opened. The rooms are wonderful, the beds comfortable and Heidi is the most amazing cook. Breakfast is 2 meals at least. Both of the owners are so helpful. John even boosted our battery for us. Close to Berkshires, Lime Rock Race track, and great restaurants. We love it there and go several times a year.
5 on October 02, 2010
My husband and myself have stayed here several times; usually when our family home in Canaan is full for family events. We have been treated wonderfully by John and Heidi. They bend over backwards to make sure you are well taken care of. We have always had a great time and wish we could stay here every time we come to Canaan, which is often as my family lives in Canaan! You cannot beat the hospitality and home-cooked breakfasts as well as that beautiful porch with the comfortable chairs and million dollar view. Great porch to drink your morning coffee on.... There is a sign at John and Heidi's that says, "Come as strangers and leave as friends" which is perhaps their mission statement. Its all true. Thanks so much for the beautiful retreat and warm, welcoming atmosphere. Cathy Caron

I have stayed at the Locust Tree B&B many times & have NEVER been disapointed. Heidi & John Lillis give much attention to the individual needs to each & every guest. I love the way each room is uniquely decorated. Heidi is an awsome cook & John is a great conversationalist. They make you so welcome & feel like you're part of the family. Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Lillis (Heidi & John) for making your home one of the hardest places to have to leave. Sincerly; Heather, Cape Cod MA

Stuffe & Nonsense
Sorry, but Stuffe & Nonsense are no longer able to take any orders. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Plush Dolls and Anthropomorphic Creations
The most distinctive products from Stuffe & Nonsense were our anthropomorphic character figures. Due to medical issues and other priorities we stopped making these dolls and include them here just for reference. These plush dolls combined animal features with human posture and clothing. Stuffe & Nonsense dolls were all individually constructed from original designs by Warren and Candy. The animal characters are costumed to represent Egyptian gods or characters from myth and literature. If we weren't busy with somebody else's fantasy we use one of Candy's -- usually based on a pun.
If you have one of these, we hope you treasure it.
Stuffe & Nonsense Handmade Stuffed Animals
Besides the anthropomorphic dolls, we also made stuffed animals which are more specifically animal-shaped, and even some more conventional teddy bears. Oddly, we sold more bears at Science Fiction conventions than at teddy bear shows. Due to medical issues and other priorities we stopped making these dolls and include them here just for reference. Our stuffed animals included fantastic creatures such as a griffon or a hippogriff. And some of the animals wear bits of clothing or carry tools. That anthropomorphism stuff is hard to shake!
There's a collection of Stuffe & Nonsense papers on various subjects at the Sense & Nonsense link.

WELLESELY, Mass. – Sophomore Matt Redfield (Los Altos, Calif.) has made it back-to-back New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Week awards as he was named to the honor today by the league office. Redfield averaged 19 points and 12 rebounds in a pair of games for MIT since December 17, both victories for the Engineers.
Redfield continued his mid-season surge with a pair of outstanding games for MIT. After setting a new career-high in points on Dec. 13, the sophomore upped that by one by dropping in 19 points in MIT's wins at LaVerne University and at Wheaton College. Not only did Redfield set a career best in points during the New Year's Eve win against LaVerne, he also established another new personal best with 15 rebounds. He then came back in the NEWMAC opener at Wheaton with a 19-point, nine-rebound effort to help the Engineers to an important conference road win. In the two contests Redfield shot 62.5 percent from the floor and blocked five shots.
Redfield and the rest of the Engineers will be back in action tomorrow, traveling to Springfield College for a NEWMAC matchup with the Pride at 7:00 p.m.

Hosted by the Little Traverse Yacht Club (LTYC) and guided by the careful hand of PRO Bruce Golison, every team is excited about taking part in the four-day long Nationals, marking the fifth championship of its kind for the Melges 32 Class. It is also being held in conjunction with the club's monumental Ugotta Regatta which expects an impressive total of 70 entries. It also happens to be LTYC's 50th Anniversary event.
Teams have traveled from across the country and around the world to attend including USA Sailing Series Ranking leader Kip Meadows (Rocky Mount, N.C.) on roXanne with tactican Andy Horton. Over the course of the year Meadows' performance has gradually come on strong. He participated at the Gold Cup (finished 5th), sat on the sidelines for Key West and Miami yet returned triumphantly to win Charleston Race Week, place third at the East Coast Championship and finish second at the Northeast Regatta. "I am especially proud of the accomplishment to date, however, this is a great fleet to be a part of, and by no means do we take the advantage lightly. There are some really great teams here. I remember thinking when Joe Woods won the European Championship how really great that was."
Fresh off a sensational win in Newport is John Porter (Winnetka, Ill.) on Full Throttle with Charlie McKee on tactics with every intention of acquiring his first major 2010 Melges 32 title. John Kilroy's (Los Angeles, Calif.) famous Samba Pa Ti (who recently finished fifth overall at the final Audi Sailing Series event in Malcesine, Italy) will certainly be a force to reckon with as he carries an outstanding crew arsenal comprised of tactican Stu Bannatyne complimented by the combined talents and experience of Morgan Reeser and Sam Rogers.
There is a plethora of others that can very well win such as 2009 Gold Cup Champion Rod Jabin (Annapolis, Md.) on Ramrod with assistance from multi-world champion Chris Larson serving as tactician. Jeff Ecklund (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) on STAR, a two-time National Champion is definitely in contention with tactician Bill Hardesty. Adding true international flair to the event is reigning European Melges 32 Champion Joe Woods (Torquay, UK) on Red with Paul Goodison on tactics. "Paul has been a great benefit to the team. He and Joe work so well together. Obviously, this is a build up and it's all about winning worlds." said Shane Hughes, team captain aboard Red.
The very local and youthful talent of Dalton Devos on Delta well-supported by tactician Tommy Burnham, alongside of his cousin Ryan DeVos under the steady guidance of Ed Baird on Volpe share more than just a last name, they have home court advantage against a range of thirteen other competitors, some invading the waters of Little Traverse Bay for the first time ever.
With every regatta new faces surface. The Melges 32 class is glad to welcome two new fleet members — the high-profile Californian, Steve Howe bringing his Warpath Melges 32 program to Nationals and New Zealander Stefan Goldwater on Tirade. Goldwater took delivery of his brand new boat on Monday. "We took delivery and so far so good. It's been really great and we look forward to a great week of racing."
Racing commences on Thursday morning at 1030 and continues until Sunday.
Sail22, the premiere sailing concierge service, is proud to support the Melges 32 U.S. National Championship and Harbor Springs You Gotta Regatta in conjunction with Line Honors-Performance Sailing Supply. Look for the Sail22 support trailer and the Line Honors tent at the Harbor Springs Marina by the Harbormaster's office. Line Honors will be offering regatta participants 15% off any in stock Musto and Harken products. Sail22 will also be taking photos of the regatta and posting them on Sail22.com.
2010 marks the first time a Melges 32 World Championship has been held on North American soil. A record-breaking number of teams are slated to attend potentially making it the largest ever. Hosted by the St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco, Calif on September 22-25, Melges 32 teams will look to enjoy a fantastic four-day World Championship.
For teams planning to attend, there is no better time than now to Register Online.
Living it up, warming up for Worlds, are two additional West Coast events - the California Cup hosted by the San Francisco Yacht Club and Rolex Big Boat Series, also designated as the Melges 32 Pre-Worlds.

Lee Brice Reflects On Frightening Bus Fire
Over the weekend (Saturday, Jan. 21), Lee Brice was the latest country star to fall victim to an unexpected bus fire that destroyed his home on wheels. After pulling into Toby Keith's I Love This Bar and Grill restaurant in Mesa, Ariz., the back end of Brice's Prevost tour bus caught on fire, but everyone escaped with minimal damage. Brice is now reflecting on the scare.
"It's something that you think will never happen," Brice tells Taste of Country. "It happened to Randy Houser and Justin Moore last year … a few guys have had it happen. You're on those buses for a long time and those motors run. Stuff happens, and I was just lucky."
Brice, along with most of his band and crew, were sleeping on the bus when the fire started, but luckily his bass player was outside the bus when he saw the smoke start. "He got us all off the bus," recalls Brice. "Within minutes — like literally two minutes — it was engulfed in toxic smoke, and then within another minute or two, there were 20-foot flames. If the fire department had been there five minutes later, the whole bus and the trailer would have been burned to the ground."
"Once it started to actually burn, it was like a torch because of all the chemicals and fiber glass," Brice continues. "I have so much thanks for them for getting there, because we really got a lot of stuff saved. Some [equipment] in the trailer was burned, [and] all of our clothes and stuff on the bus are kind of damaged, but that's just stuff. That's the most important thing. It's a big deal still having all of that equipment left … guitars and stuff. We were lucky that the fire department came out and they were there so quick."
As far as the cause of the fire, officials are pointing the blame at a poor connection cable between the batteries located near the engine of the bus. "There are four batteries on a bus, and there are connections between them," Brice explains. "They think there was a connection between the batteries that was shorting out, because the motor wasn't hot, so it wasn't the motor overheating. Even when they did get all the big flames out, they kept trying to get this one flame out and it wouldn't go. It just kept reigniting because of a short."
Even though the situation left the newly-engaged singer a bit shaken, he knows how fortunate he and his crew were to be on the surviving end of the blaze. "If we had been in the middle of nowhere, it would've been on the ground," he says. "We really could have woke up with big-time smoke. We were blessed. Luckily, we were stopped in a populated area where fire trucks could get there. If we had been in the middle of nowhere, it could have been a whole different story. We were lucky."

Tennessee-South Carolina Preview: What a Difference a Month Makes
When South Carolina destroyed Georgia on October 6 by a shocking 35-7 score, the Old Ball Coach had his program ranked 3rd on the 6-0 W/L tally. How times have changed.
Early this week, a very irritated Steve Spurrier indicated that his Gamecocks will not win the SEC title this season and added that his team wasn't strong or tough enough mentally to handle the lofty ranking and the games that followed (LSU and Florida, both on the road). Nothing like losing (or winning for that matter) to get Steve spinning out good material for the scribes.
South Carolina's offense thrives on its running game. But all-world tailback Marcus Lattimore rushed for only 35 yards on 13 carries in Baton Rouge in a slim-margined loss (23-21) — a game in which he suffered a bruised hip — and 13 yards on 3 carries in the 44-11 blowout loss at Gainesville (before which he was limited in practice due to the injury).
A healthy Lattimore was a must for South Carolina to have reached their once-achievable goal of an SEC Championship. After all, he ranks fourth highest in yards per game (93.3 ypg) in a career among current NCAA players. And a healthy Gamecock running game is not what Tennessee fans should be looking forward to — the Vols' defense ranks at the bottom of the SEC in rushing defense (246 yards per conference game).
Thus, theVols desperately need a sputtering Garnet-and-Black running attack to have a decent shot at a sorely-needed win on Saturday.
Tennessee's improved rushing attack (they are averaging double the amount of rushing yards per game achieved last season) has been dampered with the loss of TB Rajion Neal, who may play Saturday but will not be near 100% because of his high-ankle sprain that kept him out of the Bama game.
Of course the running game hasn't been Spurrier's only problem.
QB Connor Shaw was replaced at halftime in the Florida game in favor of Dylan Thompson. But Shaw reportedly has the backing of his head coach who said this week that Shaw would get yanked against Tennessee only if he is injured. That doesn't sound like a compliment to Tennessee, not that I would expect one from Science Hill's Special One.
The Vols haven't had much to brag about lately with their quarterback either.
Tennessee's Tyler Bray has lost his luster as a one-time dark horse for the Heisman. He has completed only 27 percent of his passes thrown 15 yards or farther with no TDs and four INTs in SEC play this season (66% / 7 TDs / 0 INTs against non-conference foes). His frustration boiled to the point where he refused to take questions in the post-Alabama presser.
South Carolina has had its problems on the other side of the ball, too.
Against LSU, the until-then stout South Carolina defense gave up 258 rushing yards, more than double the most allowed in any of the previous games. The Gamecock defense played significantly better at Florida the following week (183 total yards allowed), but it was the three early turnovers in The Swamp, two by Gamecock special teams, that paved the road to that loss.
The one constant for the Gamecocks has been the play of defensive end Jadeveon Clowney who is second in the conference with 7.5 sacks, leading his SEC-leading sack defense (29 total team sacks). Saturday will be the Carolina sack-attack's biggest test this season against Tennessee's offensive line who have given up only three sacks, a number that leads the SEC.
The Vols' defense? A complete train wreck.
It has been a very quiet week in Knoxville, but only when it comes to the team and their practices. All of this week's noise has centered on the fate of Derek Dooley and whether or not Jon Gruden will be the replacement.
The big question relates to the mood of this Volunteers team. How are they reacting to all of this talk? Will they be able to focus on the task at hand — the last opportunity to beat a ranked football team this season? Has Dooley 'lost' this team like he most assuredly did down the stretch last season?
A win over Tennessee would make it 3 straight over the Vols for South Carolina, something that has never occurred and which seemed impossible about 5 seasons ago.
Of course, a very long 5 seasons ago, nobody in the Vol Nation could have contemplated the possibility of three head coaches in five seasons on the heels of a firing of Phil Fulmer.
Nobody. Impossible.
Welcome to late October 2012 and another visit to Columbia where both Johnny Majors (1992) and Fulmer (2008) coached their last games as a Tennessee head coach.
South Carolina 38 Tennessee 21
Go Vols.

Sandy says :
Left brain, right brain… either way, I just don't think this looks good. Maybe South Carolina is flat after consecutive losses… or maybe they light a fire.
I think it comes down to Lattimore. If he is healthy enough to play strong, then it's going to be a long night. And when a team needs to respond to adversity, being physical is they way to do that.
I think that's what's going to happen. South Carolina is going to roll, and the pressure on Dooley becomes white hot. Even winning out the remainder of the schedule may not be enough to save him.
Vols – 17
Billy says :
Last week was a very disappointing loss. But as my dad pointed out to me, we could still go 7-5. Also South Carolina has lost their last two games. The down part about that is they're going to be very pumped and determined going into the game. And it doesn't help us much that the game is at South Carolina. I reckon it'll definitely be one of the tougher games of the season. I have to be pessimistic about this one…
South Carolina – 27
Tennessee- 10

The Green Bay Packers are urging fans to stand behind a cheerleader who was targeted on a Chicago Bears Facebook fan page.
As a University of Wisconsin-Green Bay student, Kaitlyn Collins has previously cheered for the Packers, who use college cheerleaders on game days. Earlier this week a photo of Collins was posted on an unofficial Bears' fan page with a disparaging note. Belittling comments about Collins followed.
"I was a little taken aback," Collins told Fox 11. "I couldn't believe that some of those words were said and the way they were said."
The Packers issued a statement calling the online commentary "extremely offensive," expressed support for Collins and urged others to do the same.
The picture was taken down Thursday afternoon after Collins posted a video on YouTube, calling attention to some of the hateful comments and thanking those who showed support.
"It could have been anybody, but it just so happens that it was me, and I'm the kind of person to not back down and to fight for what I believe in," Collins said.

NJ Devils' Jaromir Jagr Sets Record for Most Game-Winning Goals
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Jaromir Jagr moved within two goals of tying Gordie Howe for the NHL's lead in game-winning goals, scoring on a second-period breakaway to give the New Jersey Devils a 2-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday night.
The 684th goal of Jagr's 20-year NHL career, gave him 119 game-winners — the most by any player since 1967-68 — and put him one ahead of Hall of Famer Phil Esposito. Howe has 121.
Adam Henrique also scored and Martin Brodeur made 16 saves as the Devils won consecutive games for the first time this season and ended Tampa Bay's three-game winning streak.
Steven Stamkos, who had three goals and four assists last week, scored a power-play goal for Tampa Bay, which had won 5 of 6 in posting the best record in the Eastern Conference.

What is water slide decal?
Water Decal is a fairly easy technique of transferring a print (or an image) onto any hard surface: wood, metal, glass, plastic or wax. All you really need is sharp scissors and bowl of water.
We specialise in vintage furniture customisation and makeover and use Water Decals for couple of years so far.
We mastered technique of print transfer on furniture and we know that this is one of the best method giving the best, crisp quality of print.
Water decals can be used on basically every reasonably smooth, non-porous surface – from metal, plastic and wood all the way to a wax (i.e. wax candles) or a soap.
Difficulty levels:
– all sizes you can use in easy mode, which means that you can use a decal as a whole, transferring without any cutting out. However – the best result you will achieve in moderate mode, cutting out details with the scissors and then laying them down using reference template provided (have a look at our video tutorial on applying water decals)
– size 'large' you can use in a hard mode: to do it, you need to be confident with your crafts skills: you will cut all the parts out and apply them down using reference template provided (watch our tutorial on applying complex water decals)

Found primarily lining the hollow organs of the body, such as the thoracic aorta from which A-10 cells were derived, smooth muscle cells are usually arranged in dense sheets. The cells of the sheets are interconnected by gap junctions, specialized communication ports located between the cells. These junctions are composed of arrays of small channels that permit small molecules to shuttle from one cell to another, essentially linking the internal environment of one cell with those of adjacent cells. The force generating ability of smooth muscle is greater than that of other muscle types and the amount of time the force may be maintained is also significantly greater. The regulation of smooth muscle activity involves either the autonomic nervous system or hormones in the blood system. In some cases, smooth muscle tissue reacts to both types of regulation.
The culture of A-10 cells illustrated above was labeled with MitoTracker Red CMXRos before fixing, and the cells were subsequently stained with Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated to phalloidin, followed by Hoechst 33258, a popular DNA-binding counterstain. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

Caldwell said Manning a big draw to Denver
Andre Caldwell knew Tim Tebow long before most of us knew Tim Tebow, and would have loved the chance to play with him again.
Ironic, then, that the day Caldwell — Tebow's teammate at Florida in 2006-2007 — signed with the Broncos was the same day the Broncos traded away Tim Tebow to the New York Jets.
"I would have loved to be here with him but you can't be sad playing with Peyton Manning," Caldwell said Thursday morning on a conference call with Denver reporters.
In fact, it was Manning's signing with the Broncos on Tuesday that helped Caldwell decide to join the Broncos. Caldwell said he and his agent had been in contact with the Broncos since not long after free agency began last week, but it wasn't until after the Manning deal was done that their talks got serious on both sides.
"It heated up and I was all on board after they signed Peyton," Caldwell said. "Everybody knows with Tebow there was more of a running-style team. They didn't spread the ball around as much. It was a major impact and it was a big influence in me coming here."

Farm Bill Conference Committee to Meet
House Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas will chair the first meeting of the farm bill conference committee. Committee members have the difficult task of reconciling a House bill that cuts 39-billion dollars from food stamps over the next 10 years and 60-billion dollars overall - with a Senate bill that cuts 4.5-billion dollars from food stamps and 24.5-billion dollars overall.
POLITICO has reported the House Republican leadership does not plan to hold a vote on immigration reform legislation before the end of the year. For supporters - the big concern is that pushing immigration reform to 2014 - an election year - could make it even tougher to get legislation through the deeply divided Congress.
Triple-A has called for the Environmental Protection Agency to lower 2014 blending requirements - claiming higher level ethanol blends will hurt consumers. Renewable Fuels Association President and CEO Bob Dinneen criticized AAA - noting that E15 is the most tested fuel additive in EPA history and over 40 studies conclude no evidence of damage on engines.
