"Good old-fashioned Italian is so flavorful, but it's not always so great for your waistline," says Tyson Foods executive chef Mario Valdovino. "Luckily, between the high-protein chicken and the tomatoes which contain lycopene, you can feel good eating this dish."
Serves: 4
8 ounces whole-wheat linguine pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
12 ounces chicken breast, sliced (or Tyson Grilled and Ready® Fully Cooked Frozen Chicken Breast Strips)
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup diced roasted red peppers
1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes marinated in olive oil, drained
2 green onions, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
Cook pasta according to package directions; drain. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, garlic, and broth and cook about 10 minutes each side (or add prepackaged chicken strips and follow package directions). Meanwhile, place hot pasta, roasted peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, green onions, basil, and pepper flakes in a pot. Turn heat to low and toss to mix well. Add cheese and toss. Divide pasta among plates and top with chicken.

"Asparagus is a great option because it contains vitamins A for healthy cells and vitamin K for blood clotting, and studies show it has anti-inflammatory properties," says Barilla registered dietitian Anna Rosales." If you don't have or like the taste of asparagus, Barilla executive chef Lorenzo Boni, who developed the recipe, recommends using trimmed and quartered artichokes or sliced zucchini.
Serves: 8
1 box (16 ounces) fettuccine
2 tablespoons minced shallots
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 bunches asparagus, thinly sliced
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, sauté shallots in olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes. Add asparagus and season with salt and pepper. Add broth and simmer for 2 minutes. Blend approximately 1/3 mixture in a covered blender until well combined, then return mixture to the skillet. Add fettuccine and tomatoes and toss for 2 minutes. Stir in parsley and cheese before serving.

Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle mozzarella evenly over top. Bake for an additional 10 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

text: Remember the beginning of the year when the Hawks offense was terrible? When it was nothing but RUN RUN PASS from Bevell. Well I guess the past month or so was a fluke. Because it was back to that crap today. Conservative and scared as hell. Miami totally shuts down your run game, and what do you do? Keep running on 1st and 2nd down. Why not just take 2 knees instead and save the players the beating? I know you want to enforce your will on the other team and play your game. But it was clearly not working. Yet Bevell kept running up the gut into Miami's 2 bad ass DT's. The o line was getting its ass handed to it. And Bevell refuses to do anything to counter it. At least run to the outside. Good grief! The handful of positive offensive play calling games we got at home were clearly a fluke.

Today I wanted to very briefly discuss the three young starters in the system I think have the highest upside. That's two 2012 draftees, Mitch Gueller and Shane Watson, and recent international signing Franklyn Vargas.
So I was going to write a long "thing" about why I have Shane Watson so high. But instead, I'll tell you I have him at 5. I think based on all of the scouting, having him ahead of guys like Pettibone and Martin is not necessarily a stretch. He was BA's #30 draft prospect, and he profiles as a mid-rotation starter with top-of-the-rotation potential. That's my take.
As for the other two, I have Gueller at 16 and Vargas at 21. The discussion on Gueller is likely whether I am undervaluing him compared to his draft status. I know some will look at his tiny sample in the GCL and freak out. I'm not really looking at it that way. He's got time to develop, and any GCL stats he put up in 27 IP shouldn't be much of a flag.
Yes, I will admit, seeing a guy who's supposed to be a prospect pitch so poorly is disheartening, but we all know there are plenty of reasons a young guy might get roughed up in his debut season. Now, if he shows us nothing in 100IP in 2013, then I think there's reason to be a little concerned. But for now, no one is profiling him as an ace, (he would have been drafted a lot higher if they were), so comparing him to, say, Cole Hamels stats, seems a bit unreasonable to me.
I am curious where people are slotting Vargas. He was a serious signing a couple years ago, netting a reported $330k bonus. He pitched pretty well in 2012, showing a good K rate, with a pretty high walk rate. He's listed 6'4″ 205 lbs on MiLB.com, and what I have read about him he profiles as a possible power lefty with a plus fastball and two mentioned off-speed pitches. Sounds like a starter profile, and if he fills into his frame, he would be a beast. I am looking forward to seeing how he does in the NYPL this year, (I doubt he goes to Lakewood, personally).
So, what do you all think. Is Vargas too high? What about Gueller? Do his GCL stats scare you or are you walking away from them like they're nothing and waiting to see what he does in 2013? Where does everyone have Shane Watson?
Tomorrow, I will wrap up this little series with low-level infielders. Should be a good conversation there, I hope. And then next week it's time to vote. Can't wait.

The Order of Haruhi Suzumiya (In what order should this be watched?)
As every fan of the show knows, there are different orders in which it can be watched. The episodes aired in an order determinded by Haruhi, but during each promo, Kyon makes it clear that the chronological order is quite different. In what order would you choose to rewatch this show? Or if you've already rewatched it, what order do you recommend?
Spoiler for Full episode list as aired:
So, to watch it in chronologial order, you'd have to watch the episodes in this order:
2, 3, 5, 10, 13, 14, 4, 7, 6, 8, 1, 12, 11, 9.
Then there is a third option. You can watch Episode 0 first as a prologue. This can work since it is an off-topic teaser which only incidently introduces us to the show. Then watch every other episode in Kyon's order:
1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 13, 14, 4, 7, 6, 8, 12, 11, 9.
Or maybe you'd prefer to watch the show in a random order each time, guided only by fate and luck. That way you might somehow notice a secret of Haruhism that would be hidden by blindly sticking to a predetermined order. Strike down all limits on our perceptions that chain us to the mundane world!
Once you vote, please tell me why you prefer that choice!
Edit by Mod (xris):
It seems NoSanninWa wasn't wearing the recommended tin-foil hat when creating this thread and poll, thus resulting in a number of errors. I hope they have mostly been corrected and that the poll is no longer confusing as to which order is which.
In addition, I would also suggest that the following are points of discussion when you post your own opinions.
1) A recommendation to first time viewers as to which order they should watch?
2) A personal preference as to how you would have preferred to watch the show?
3) A personal preference as to how you intend to rewatch the show?
4) Which order you prefer in general?
By all means, don't limit yourself to the above, feel free do discuss any other topic relevant to the subject at hand.

First time watching, of course you should watch it in airing order -- or else you won't be able to appreciate the artfully constructed storyline to fit 14 eps.
If you want to analyse the series, then chronological order will be better because it's easier to see the links from previous events (e.g. Mikuru ponytail in ep4). Else I prefer the original order (because the deliberately mixed order is what I personally makes this series what it is).
Personally, I think that having ep1 where it is made some people go "wtf?" and turned them away from this great work of animation;(.
edit: Wait, isn't it Haruhi who says them in chronological order and Kyon who says it in airing order?

It must be watched in the Airing/Kyon's order the very first time you watch, if not, all is doomed, the world has ended for you.
After watching it in the airing order, then you can choose to watch it in any way you like. Haruhi's order, random order, from last to first episode etc, all you want.

Well I belive the best order to watch it, is in fact the order that the Anime was presented to us; or in other words... "as aired on T.V.".
This was actualy a very smart way to deliver the story content, but of course it would not have worked if Haruhi's caracteristics as a character had served as an influence to do such.
The development of the series storywise can be very well acompanied through its correct order yes.., however, and this of course.. giving its content, on the way the episodes where switched it actualy ended up emphasizing some in climax sort of prespective.
For as we know.., the last episodes of Haruhi (as shown in "as aired on T.V.") are actualy some of the first episodes to storywise.. be aired.
However.., these are the episodes that give us the conclusion to what the Anime is all about, and what realy are the facts & explinations behind some of the events we first got to see.
Hence, this way, they where able to deliver us something "unique" when watching it.., not only it felt as if miss Haruhi was realy in charge and much like NoSanninWa said & I quote " Strike down all limits on our perceptions that chain us to the mundane world! "
but it also was able to deliver us (what I consider) the best way to enjoy the story consearing on how the events where shown to us (timewise).
Hence.. why I definitly say.., the best order to watch Haruhi and enjoy it to its full potential is definitly.. "as aired on T.V.".
Also.. in the end.., with Kyon's little remark on each episode.., we never ended up beeing lost
And True fact is.., if the episodes (giving the same content), where to have been displayed properly.., I recon many would have lost a bit of the excitement of wanting to see the next episode just so it could show us what happened prior to the others we had seen; myself included
Edit :
Needed to fix the order due to all the confusion..
Now I just hope I got it right ^^

WAIT, wait everyone, we've totally messed up here lol
Haruhi's order is the chronological order, not the airing order!
Looks like this poll should be restarted with options:
Haruhi's chronological order
Kyon's airing order
Episode 0, then Haruhi's order
Random order

I don't think that I would have enjoyed it as much if I had watched it in chronological order. Kyon's order raises mysteries and keeps things interesting. You find out that Haruhi is more than she seems and might essentially be God, then you find out that something really bad happened at some point between episodes and the group tries to keep her entertained to keep it from happening again, then the show slowly gives you a better idea of what each of the characters are capable of and raises mysteries, then you finally find out about just how dangerous a bored/frustrated Haruhi can be. If you followed it in Haruhi's order, you'd find out about Haruhi's and the other's full abilities in the first six episodes or so, and the rest of it would be completely devoid of any mystery. It would still be a good show, but watching it in Haruhi's order the first time through would take away from it somewhat, IMO.

HEY WAIT. Erm. Sorry C.A.. Yes. Kyon annouces the real airing order, Haruhi the chronological order. I suppose Kyon has always been the more level-headed guy. So what do I vote for now? Haha.
Anyway, Haruhi or Kyon aside; theres only one real answer to this question. Obviously, the first time round you watch this, to maximise the viewing pleasure and prevent you from getting bored halfway thru the whole series, you have to watch this series in AIRING order.
I'll withhold my vote until someone clarifies the Haruhi/Kyon thing.

No lol Haruhi is the chronological order.
Here's the episode preview at the end of episode 5(Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu III):
You see that everyone was confused and voted for the chronological order of Haruhi lol
EDIT: Well the poll is totally wrong now lol, I guess it will go wrong even more when people vote first instead of reading the posts first lol

Sounds like the (current) poll will need to be deleted and recreated but this time making it clear which is the aired order and which is the chronological order.
Haruhi order (i.e. chronological)
Kyon order (i.e. as aired)
Modified Haruhi order ("Ep 0" first, folllowed by chronological order)
Random order
This is correct as I understand it. Any objections?
Oh yes, the poll should be made public as well.

Hmmm I'm still quite worried that people will still be confused between Haruhi and Kyon's order.
Maybe just:
Chronological order
Airing order
Episode 0 first, then Chronological order(this was written Episode 0 + Kyon's order because it was thought by NoSanninWa that Kyon's order is chronological, but actually is Haruhi's)
Random Order

Yes, I think I agree with you.
Airing order
Chronological order
"Ep 0" first, then Chronological order
Random Order
(Note: I realise that my post above had a glaring error since there is no difference between "Kyon order (i.e. as aired)" and "Modified Kyon order ("Ep 0" first, folllowed by episodes as aired)". Thery are the same, oops. Error has now been corrected).

The first post is also very misleading as well since the mix up just makes it more confusing which is which. A better solution might be to recreate the entire thread (or at least heavily edit the first post).
I would also like to ask what is the actual point of the thread?
Is it....
1) A recommendation to first time viewers as to which order they should watch?
2) A personal preference as to how you would have preferred to watch the show?
3) A personal preference as to how you intend to rewatch the show?
4) Which order you prefer in general.
I know option 3 is specifically mentioned but IMHO the obvious answer is really the same with any show, that is watch it in order as was intended (i.e. the order it was aired).
I think it should really be a more general discussion covering all these aspects and include thoughts as to why it was reordered and the effect this has on the viewing experience.
No, no, no, of course I didn't do that on purpose, of course not I just rearranged them in alphabetical order, which is the correct way to arrange polls, ahem
(or at least select the correct titles so the alphabetical order is the order you want in the first place, heh)

Hmmm I would put it this way:
Thread name: Suzumiya Haruhi Episode Order Discussion Thread
Poll: Which order would you recommend first time viewers to watch in?
EDIT: To think again maybe a better Poll would be:
Poll: Which order do you think is the best way to watch?
Discussion: All of your 4 points.
1) A recommendation to first time viewers as to which order they should watch?
2) A personal preference as to how you would have preferred to watch the show?
3) A personal preference as to how you intend to rewatch the show?
4) Which order you prefer in general.
Point number 3 is probably for people who intend to watch the show, they may want to talk about how they're going to watch the show. Then some of us would reply to the person recommending him in various ways to watch, the pros and cons etc.

oh, and I have to remind you, xris:
not EVERYONE like offical aired order, and it is not intended(DVDs don't use it), we have the right to dislike it and yell it out loudly.
God, KyoAni, if you are planing an 2nd season, don't ever do it with that dumbass order AGAIN, just give us the proper Chronological order already!

The Airing order is actually much more interesting, in many ways better than the chronological order, especially for us who watched it every week.
This creates a suspense and longing to look forward to the future episodes. It batters us with questions from the start and then solves them all at once, giving us a huge sense of satisfaction.
This is the power of the random episode order.
It was a great experience and those who got it couldn't agree more that it was genius for kyoani to do this.

An Address given at the 13th All-American Council of the Orthodox Church in America, Orlando, Florida, July 24, 2002 by Archpriest Andrew Morbey
Once upon a time there was a local church in a far away country and the bishop of this church saw that his people were dispirited and the churches under his care were almost empty. Being a very good arch-pastor – he also a confessor for the faith, by the way – he set out to revive the flock and to renew the life of his parishes and he has left us, in his writings, a sort of recipe for putting things right.
Your Beatitudes, Your Eminences and Graces, Reverend Fathers, Monastics, Brothers and Sisters:
The arch-pastor's name was Theoleptos, and he was Metropolitan of Philadelphia – the other Philadelphia, in Asia Minor – at the end of the thirteenth century and the first decades of the fourteenth. The reason that his people were dispirited was that they were under constant pressure from militant Islam and thoroughly worn out by church controversy. Their good will and energy had turned to cynicism. The rallying power of the Church and its ability to console the faithful and strengthen them had been subverted. The most pious of the faithful were being attracted to sectarian elders and drawn away from church life. Ordinary men and women simply dropped out. After all, if zealous believers repudiate the parish, its clergy and its worship, what is there in for the rest of us?
The church controversy of those days involved an ecumenical fiasco, political meddling in church life, certain worldliness on the part of the institutional church, and - over against all of this - a powerful reactionary, schismatic movement. This movement is called the Arsenite Schism. It preyed upon real grievances arising from the false Union of Lyons and the manipulation of church offices by the imperial government in violation of canon law. The Arsenites suggested that real Orthodoxy was not to be found in churches and liturgical life and the sacramental ministry of bishops, priests, and deacons. Instead, it was to be found a personal rule of prayer – discipleship - under the guidance holy ascetic elders. The Arsenites called on Christians to break communion with their bishops, reject the counsel of priests, to stop attending their parish churches. Families were divided. The followers of the movement were not to eat or drink, or to pray with or marry those in the communion of the Church.
Theoleptos recipe was to call for a return to church. His prescription was attendance at church services. He called for those enacting public worship to do so thoughtfully, clearly, accessibly – so that the faithful could pay close attention to the words of scripture – the Gospels, the Epistles, the psalmody – and the hymns and prayers. A disciplined, intelligent, receptive stance in the midst of worship opens the faithful to divine grace, to spiritual transformation, to education in virtue, to communion with the Lord. Using the sacred scriptures, the liturgy shapes attitudes, sets out examples, instructs, exhorts, draws the worshipper into sacred history and the story of salvation. Those shaped by the worship of the Church will become apostolic people – living and proclaiming the Gospel through their actions.
I have been asked to say something about the importance of reading the scriptures in the life of our parishes. I am very happy to do this, although I realise that there are many here today who would do a much better job than I can do. After all, I am not a biblical scholar and my remarks will not be informed by a deep engagement with scholarly studies. Please forgive me if critical issues in biblical research or hermeneutic theory have no place in this presentation. Nor am I really a teaching professional, up to date with the latest in pedagogical methods or theory. I am only a pastor – but proud to be a pastor! - and it is a pastor that I am concerned for the study of scripture in our parish life. Our times bear a certain resemblance to those of Theoleptos – it is very easy for the faithful to become distracted or dispirited by relativism and sectarianism, by church controversy. My remarks arise out of the conviction that it is important – really, of utmost importance - to attend to the study of scripture in our church life, in our parishes, by our people. We need to encourage and facilitate devotional reading of scripture, parish bible study, close attention to the biblical content of our liturgical worship, to expository preaching and teaching by our clergy, to making bible stories and scriptural teaching the heart our church school and religious education program … My task this morning is to remind everyone here of why these things are important and to suggest ways in which they are connected directly and at a practical level with the theme of our Council: The Parish Community: Our Life in Christ. Our time today is limited, but we will try to conclude this session with a look at some passages from the Epistle to the Philippians – it may be a bit tricky to have everyone at a plenary session looking up scripture texts – we will see! – a bible that has been provided for each of you and with the wonders of power-point technology, perhaps we will be able to transform this presentation into an encounter with Holy Scripture. I would also like to add that on Thursday, we have some workshops devoted to bible study in the parish, and that Fathers Dahulich and Hainsworth will have inspiring and helpful things to say. I encourage you to participate in these.
We can begin with something very basic. As Orthodox Christians we believe that our life in Christ begins in Holy Baptism. But beyond baptism, this new life is nourished and nurtured by three things:
- participation in the Holy Mysteries, together with liturgical worship and personal prayer; - acts and expressions of mutual love; - study of scripture.
It is in the Church – and for all practical purposes this means in the parish – that these three essential things take place. My personal life in Christ is shaped by the sacramental and liturgical life of the parish community; by the good works that, even if done individually, are in many ways encouraged and enabled by and within the community, and by the study of scripture supported by the community. As we know, in the Church personal and community life are closely connected and mutually strengthen each other. We are being saved together.
By community I mean mot only the parish community immediately at hand, but the larger community of the faithful – other parishes, the deanery, the diocese, the local Church – as well as the community through time – those who have gone before us, who have passed on the faith to us, and those still in the future, to whom we are to pass on what we have received, and finally, the community includes those already mysteriously in Christ who intercede for us in the Kingdom. My life in Christ - our life in Christ - is something that exists in a dynamic context, shaped by relationships past, present, future, and eternal. We do not invent liturgy – we worship as a community that has received its basic pattern of worship from the Lord through the Apostles, modelled in part on worship in the heavenly places revealed in scripture. Our good works express the moral vision and moral imperative arising from the earliest Christian communities living according to the teaching of Christ. And our understanding of scripture is shaped by a tradition of inspired reflection within the community of faith.
These things being true, as the Orthodox Church in America we have – over the years, and with the Lord's help - sought to refresh the faithful in a lively participation in the sacramental and liturgical life of the Church. I think that you will agree with me that we are a Church known for our attempt to connect people to their worship, to encourage active and thoughtful participation in liturgical life. We have also worked towards encouraging our communities in good works, to expand the scope of acts and expressions of mutual love and service as part of our understanding of what it means to bear the name of Christ. And although discussion of stewardship and appropriate funding of the Church administration sparks debate, it is also true that projects of immediate and obvious charitable purpose can expect a warm response from us. Throughout the OCA charitable ministries and projects are flourishing and there is, I believe, a growing culture of mutual support and community service – of diakonia - in our Church as a whole. All in all, I think that a fair-minded and well-informed person would say that the Orthodox Church in America has made a strong and helpful contribution to Orthodoxy in general, and to the life of many of the faithful, by highlighting liturgical life and Christian service as fundamental aspects of authentic Orthodox parish life.
However – it must also be said that we have yet to take up the third essential element in Christian nurture in a dynamic way. Just how basic and how important scripture is to Christian life is probably something every Orthodox Christian who gives it even a moment's thought will recognise. But in many of our communities it seems as if the study of scripture has fallen by the wayside. I wonder how many of the clergy and lay leadership gathered here today are pleased with how scripture is studied in their parishes?
There are four reasons why familiarity with scripture, and a certain biblical literacy - or at least an engagement with scripture - is important for all of us. Let me list these reasons: (1) the scriptures tell us who we are; (2) they provide us with important information; (3) they give us the language we need; (4) they draw us into the presence of the Lord. In other words, the scriptures are essential to Christian formation, to Christian identity and self-understanding; and they are a means of receiving the grace of God.
(1) Who we are Scripture is the story of the people of God – a story on a grand and sweeping scale – the alpha of our origins and the omega of our destiny. We are a part of that story. Each boy and girl, every man and woman here in this room and at home in our parishes, all the faithful, are part of that story because God has made it our story, He has included us in it. We find our place as characters within this story, as characters in mysterious relationship with that remarkable procession of biblical figures, marching through the pages of the Bible and into the history of the Church. My own personal story and the story of my parish – our Christian identity - arise out the story of the Lord's providential ordering of His world and our history from beginning to end: choosing, calling, electing, leading, chastising, empowering, saving, and sanctifying His people. We have only to lift our eyes to see – or open our ears to hear - that we belong to something far greater than our own often rather small, self-centred concerns: we are part of a great drama, an unfolding story.
(2) Instruction Scripture itself tells us that it exists for our profit and instruction. It will be to our benefit to study it. It is full of wisdom and helpful advice; it directs us to great truths. It sets before us examples to follow and others to avoid. The Bible also proclaims that meditation on the Word of God is life-giving, it is spiritual food and drink, nourishment, refreshment, a delight, a blessed activity to which the godly turn their attention day and night. It enlightens and inspires and edifies. It is consolation and a support.
(3) Language Scripture provides us with a language – the language of the relationship of God, man, the world, heaven and earth, creation, fall, redemption and salvation, of faith, hope, and love. What we say to each other as believers and what we say to the world, how we say the things we must, arise out of the rich palette of the vocabulary of scripture. Our very words – the terms, the metaphors and images, the ideas, the doctrines - are something given to us. We did not invent them. We do not invent them. They are not words that arise out of our own best efforts to find adequate words for God and things of the spirit. They are God-given words, words provided by the Lord Himself, adequate and appropriate because they are His self-disclosure. Because they are His words, the scriptures – we believe – give us an authoritative and objective way to speak to God and about God.
(4) Sacrament There is a sense in which our encounter with scripture is sacramental, awakening us to the presence of God. One and the same Word of God gives Himself to the faithful in the Holy Mysteries and reveals Himself in scripture. The inspiration of one and the same Spirit jumps like an electric spark between the faithful in whom He dwells and the words full of His power. An early biblical commentator wrote: "we are said to drink the blood of Christ not only when we receive it according to the rite of the mysteries, but also when we receive his words, in which life dwells, as he said himself: 'the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life'

Busted were the greatest pop act of the 21st century.
This opinion may be a little biased as I was 9 when they were massive, and being a fan of guitar centric pop music at that time, I properly lapped this up, but I've recently reappraised their material, and I think it definitely still holds up today. Its essentially to all intents and purposes music made by 15 year old boys trying to impress 15 year old girls, but there also lies a certain charm in this, the crap double entendres and sex metaphors reminding me of another band of my youth, Blink 182. Plus, they had a complete abundance of MASSIVE TUNES! The second album is the sound of the formula for the perfect pop song distilled and mutated over the course of 15 incredibly catchy guitar pop tracks. It's genuinely great.
It has no pretensions of seriousness, even the sappier ballads are laced with a knowing wink and massive choruses. Its just complete musical fun, the equivalent of a kind of sweet that is not only delicious, it also doesn't give you toothache. Lets just hope Charlie Simpson stops pretending to be Lostprophets/Mumford & Sons and gets back to what he's best at, for the ultimate nostalgia hit. I for one will be right at the fucking front.
So yeah, I've made my (badly written) point. Shoot me, DiS.
- Icarus-Smicarus and sexydave this'd this
The 'were' refers to the fact that the band are no longer together.
Ridiculous proposition
For one thing, when was the last time you heard anyone listening to, or mentioning, Busted? I don't think I'd heard their name spoken in at least half a decade. If they are the premier pop-geniuses of the millenium I think you'd hear their songs more than once every year
no-one does.
which is a massive shame. because the rest of the world is wrong for forgetting/not paying attention.
saw a folk band the other day that was three guys with guitars
and i described them as if ben kweller had invented busted. i got told off for being rude but had meant it as a compliment
Busted were awesome
Heartily concur with the OP
HATED the Jonas brothers Busted covers though.
Just discovered that James from Busted wrote recently-flopped musical Loserville, based on a Son of Dork album. Wow.
This is all I've read about it:
Dunno about reviews.
I find it interesting that it's got a connection to Busted but doesn't mention that anywhere, which pretty solidly blows the thread's premise out of the water. :D
Also, the posters are confused:
If you love Glee you'll love this
If you love Grease you'll love this
Those two make sense but there's another that says
If you love the IT Crowd you'll love this
which implies they haven't the first clue who they're aiming this at. (Whoever it is, it's not not me.)
They beat McFly for sure
And they are on a par with most of Blink's crappier stuff. And whatever the "serious" band Charlie Simpson quit Busted to be in can fuck right off.
when you were 9 they were massive
are you 15?
They weren't even as good as McFly.
And to try and rate them as a better pop music proposition that Rihanna or Girls Aloud is silly.pichaelmarker and andyvine this'd this
McFly were meant to be all musical and a "proper" band. Which in a way they were, but they were dull as fuck. Are dull as fuck.
Beyoncé's pretty pop.
And pretty 21st Century.
yeah, but i don't rate either as highly
Girls Aloud are a band that seem to get unanimous praise for some reason despite not actually sounding any better than a million not too dissimilar acts.
yeah girls aloud are pretty terrible
really don't understand the praise they get
Hey I haven't any time for Beyoncé, Busted or Girls Aloud personally.
I'm just pointing out both of them are clearly far more successful 'pop acts'. The problem with pop compared to other genres is you can't really chin-stroke your way out of the discussion by claiming popularity isn't the important factor: it's the ONLY factor.
So Busted clearly aren't what you claim they are or else we'd be hearing their stuff everywhere.
given how successful busted were before they split up
its failrly likely that had they kept on going they'd have reached the same level as girls aloud and beyonce. Out of 2 albums they had 8 top ten singles and 4 number 1's.
Hurra Hurra Die Schule Brennt
Yeah I have no idea
Not convinced
But I do have some affection for them as the last big chart pop act before I lost touch with that sort of thing. I even had an opinion on which member of the group was the most annoying (probably the drummer). Moved abroad for a few years and every subsequent pop act, from the class of 2004 (McFly, Natasha Beddingfield) onwards is pretty much just a name to me.
First album is fucking brilliant
Second album when they tried to write most of the songs, not so much.blimeycharlie this'd this
remember when people used to REALLY comment on articles
yeah it was maybe worse then wasn't it
Nah, mate
You're thinking of t.A.T.u.
What about:
Girls Aloud
Christina Aguilera
Missy Elliott
Justin Timberlake
Craig David
Alicia Keys
Kelly Clarkson
Will Young
Kylie Minogue
Basement Jaxx
Daft Punk
Chemical Brothers
no, they didn't play at my school
only Busted. sorry.
Wouldn't go that far,
but their first album did contain some excellent pop songs.
What I Go To School For in particular is superb.
I took my daughter to see Busted at Wembley Arena
It was there last ever performance I think.
Loved it - and so did she!
everybody needs to see their documentary about trying to make it in america
genuinely literally in my top 5 documentaries of all time

Bitcoins: The future of money?

Well, who know? Of course, as I see it, BitCoin won't be acceapting easily in developing countries, where most transition is physical. Beside, trust is also an important elements. Goverment will always try to control the money flow.
Also, if you want something really invisible, choose fragtual diamond or somekind of gemstone.

Remember bitcoins crash last july? Bitcoins became worth over 200$, then crashed to 60$ in one fell swoop. During the crash, the biggest bitcoin exchange marketplace decided to arbitrarily stop transactions. This tells you two things. It's a volatile currency, and for whatever reason they want, bitcoins exchange can decide to shut off and leave you with worthless currency if they feel like it. The currency is backed by nothing. That being said, real life currency isn't any better, something like the Cyprus bank could happen here too. Some people think gold is the perfect currency, in an ideal world it's not a bad idea. But if something really bad happened tomorrow, something apocalyptic, people wouldn't care about gold. People would want food, lighters, antibiotics, gas, etc, those are the only things that keep value no matter what.

^ Anyway... don't like it..... I still prefer carrying cash.
I liked how I able to hold my money, count it with my hands and carry it anywhere I want. Bit coin is like points in an online game that only has value in a virtual world.
I'm once became happy that I was a millionaire in an online game, buying stuffs by the millions. But thinking about that time, no matter how rich you are in a virtual world... you can't really tell how rich you really until you have that visual cash be bought by real, physical money.... A fact that a million virtual cash only values a couple dollars.

The whole based of Money is the Agreement of a Society about its value as a medium that acts like a bridge between mulitiply activities of Economy, basically is sell-and-buy relationship. So what matter is Trust. Isn't they write "In God We Trust" on the Dollar. "God", my friends, only exist when there are faith. And on this case, faith on a country or the world economy. But as history has put it, faith is unstable in front of the winds of history.

Bitcoin or some clone of it could become a standardized black market currency, but there's no way it'll become a currency for normal every day usage. Even if there's a move to digital currency it'd be some government/bank controlled one.

Ignoring the issues of infrastructure i.e. who controls the servers controls the money supply and other hacking issues the fundamental problem with bitcoin is its finite supply. If we assume a growing economy then a money supply that does not increase in sync results in the value of goods and services declining because more goods are chasing the same amount of money. This leads to a decline in prices and which is bad for profits, investments and eventually general spending as people will hoard money in the hopes of getting a better deal tomorrow.
I suppose you could fix this problem by adding new denominations to the bitcoin currency but then if you keep expanding the money supply you just get the same issues that come with other fiat currencies.
The important point to grasp is that people often think that price stability comes from a fixed money supply but really fixed prices come when the money supply matches the size of the economy relatively speaking. If money supply grows faster than the economy you get inflation and if the economy grows greater than money supply you get deflation.

"Strange as it may seem, detergent — specifically liquid Tide and Tide Pods — has

I'm guessing it's because they think that it's rather depressing from Saber's standpoint. The Grail turned out to be something different from what she wanted, so she was unable to fulfill her wish. Not only that, she has no real purpose other than to find a new 'conclusion' to her own life by viewing the life of Shirou because she sees how Shirou is similar to her, but ended up following a different path.
It's a 'slap to the face' to fans of Fate (the route) because at the very end, Saber was proud of her life, and thus accepted the concluding result that she has lived a good life as King and did not regret anything. This is different to UBW Good where she couldn't fulfill her wishes, and was unable to arrive at the same conclusion she did in Fate (the route), thus losing her 'conclusion'. Saber was reduced to someone who's purpose in life was to find a purpose in life. At least that's what from what I understand..
Of course, as a Saber fan, I don't see any problem with UBW Good 'sunny day'. It's as close to a harem ending as Shirou can get.
Now Ilya on the other hand...

Well, Illya's fate the same in every ending. Even in Fate.
I think HF true ending is close to harem too. Shirou's strickly monogamic in that, but
he has 3 girls(perhaps including Sakura) in love with him and he often sees them(as opossed to the UBW Sakura).
Anyways I hope they make Gilgamesh's GoB much better. As I said from a machine gun fire to a carpet bombing.

In all honesty the CG dragon was the FUNNIEST part of the anime, save for the complete reversal of the date with Saber. Sadly, Ilya's body was rushed towards the end to prepare her to become the grail, in turn shortening her life span even more than it normally would've been.
Just imagine how different everything would've been had Kiritsugu managed to get Ilya away from Acht. I think Kiritsugu, Ilya, and Shiro all would've lived a very happy life together.

I much prefer Die Lorelei. It's a... interesting song to say the least. For those of you who don't know what it's about, look it up: it's fairly entertaining. It was used as Ilya's theme if you're not aware.

You mean UBW and HF routes? Fate Stay Night has a manga. It's the slightly altered version of the UBW route. Not to mention the anime has some parts from UBW(mainly on the Rider and Caster arcs).
But for certain? Play the FSN game. FSN was originally a Visual Novel made by Type Moon. In the case if you doesn't know what kind of game is it: It's an interactive story, with pictures(and some effects), sounds and perhaps biunch of text to read. In short an interactive novel with certain choices in various parts. The original game is Japanesse but thanks to Mirror Moon an english patch's downloadable for it. Currenly the HF part of the VN hasn't got an anime or even a manga yet.

Tony Iommi Was 'Extremely Nervous' About Black Sabbath's First 2012 Show
Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi has revealed he was "extremely nervous" before the band's first concert since his recent lymphoma battle, explaining he wasn't sure he'd have the endurance to make it through an entire set.
In a post on the band's newly-updated website, Iommi admits to not "knowing whether I'd be able to last" through a full-length concert. Luckily, as he explains it, the energy of his bandmates carried him through the show: "It turned out to be no problem whatsoever because Ozzy (Osbourne), Geezer (Butler) and (tour drummer) Tommy (Cluefetos) were nailing everything, no chance to feel tired!"
By all accounts, the concert — a fundraising show at the O2 arena in their hometown of Birmingham — was a smashing success, with Osbourne leaping about the stage like a man half his age as Iommi led the band through 19 of their classic songs. Iommi wraps up his account by thanking the crowd and declaring, "I'm really pleased with how it turned out." On June 10 the band will headline the Download Festival in Derby, England, and on Aug. 3 they will make their only stateside appearance at Chicago's Lollapalooza festival.

Another kind of energy crisis
While no one will stop you from stowing batteries on your own aircraft, the U.S. Department of Transportation has banned all loose batteries from checked baggage on airline and charter flights for reasons that seem just as applicable to privately owned jets.
"If a battery is in an electrical device that it's rated for, you can place it into checked baggage," explained Gordon "Joe" Delcambre Jr., a public affairs specialist at the Department of Transportation. "Everything else can go into carry-on baggage. So you can carry nearly all the devices that people use now-cellphones, laptops, PDAs, iPods." Delcambre added that a special limit-two spare batteries per carry-on per person-applies to unusually large rechargeable lithium batteries.
Why the restrictions? Since February 2006, the Consumer Product Safety Commission has recalled more than nine million rechargeable lithium batteries in laptop computers and other products because of design problems. CPSC and FAA records show that rechargeable lithium batteries are causing an increasing number of fires and that incidents involving nonrechargeable lithium batteries have also begun to increase. (See "Battery Trouble.")
One problem with nonrechargeable lithium batteries is that people try to recharge them, explained consultant Jeff Hare, president of J. Hare Safety & Survival Systems, Inc. of Jamaica, N.Y. "That's just looking for trouble," he said. Also, if you accidentally drop the battery, causing internal damage, the resulting short circuit will lead to what's known as thermal runaway. With thermal runaway, heat builds, slowly destroying insulation inside the battery until it self-destructs and potentially causes a fire. Just having a few lithium batteries banging around in a suitcase could result in thermal runaway-reason enough to not have them in the cargo hold.
But that's not the only concern. "A nonrechargeable battery, such as lithium sulphur dioxide or lithium magnesium dioxide, poses a more significant potential problem than even most flight crews realize," Hare said. "A fire caused by that type of battery requires a Class-D fire extinguisher, and aircraft don't carry those, so you don't have the means to extinguish the fire in-flight."
One way to avoid trouble is to keep extra batteries in their original blister packages. "None of the incidents involve consumer-type batteries in their retail packaging," said Bill Wilkening of the FAA's Office of Security and Hazardous Materials. If you have loose batteries, Wilkening suggested, simply put a piece of tape on each end to prevent metal-to-metal contact.
Battery Trouble
Why all the fuss about batteries? Some recent incidents:
• A news crew aboard a JetBlue flight departing from a New York airport stored its audio/visual gear in an overhead compartment. A fire broke out in one of the equipment bags, forcing the aircraft to make an emergency landing shortly after takeoff. The subsequent investigation found the most likely source of the fire to be a nine-volt lithium battery.
• A UPS aircraft crewmember packed a flashlight purchased in China in his flight bag, which he stowed in the cockpit. The flashlight began to smoke, and its lithium batteries later were confirmed to be counterfeits.
• A lithium battery exploded when an airline passenger accidentally dropped it during a flight from Buenos Aires to Miami.
• A laptop and spare lithium-ion battery stowed in an overhead bin on a transatlantic flight began burning minutes before pushback from the gate. The computer was removed from the aircraft to the ramp, where ground personnel extinguished the fire.
• Several incidents have occurred involving lithium batteries that powered personal air filters worn around the neck. Inappropriate charging of nonrechargeable lithium batteries is suspected as the cause in two of these incidents, which manifested themselves in flaming necklaces.

Scripture: Luke 22: 8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover."
9 "Where do you want us to prepare for it?" they asked.
Luke 22:12 He will show you a large upper room, all furnished. Make preparations there."
13 They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.
Observation: Peter and John were sent with an assignment. They were to make preparations for the Passover meal. It was at this meal the Lord commanded us to eat the bread and drink the cup in memory of the sacrifice he was about to make. God had been carefully making preparations for Jesus death since the prophecy given to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.
Application: Very few things in life are done with a spur-of-the-moment decision. Even those opportunities are made possible because one has prepared to be ready. Most things require preparation. Important things require more preparation. Very important things require much preparation. My value of things can be seen in the preparation I am willing to make. The way my wife prepares for the visit of children to our home shows how she values them. My life today is preparation for eternity. My speech and actions will demonstrate how important eternity is to me.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for the preparation you made to provide the payment for my sins. May the esteem I have for you be seen in the preparations I make to stand before you on judgment day. Amen
Pastor Leon
Making friends for time and eternity!

Taselaar Overtakes Recchi For Audi Melges 32 World Championship Lead
26 September 2009
Porto Cervo produced another fantastic day of racing at the Audi Melges 32 World Championship, hosted by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda. Long-time Melges 32 competitor and champion, in fact, a pioneer owner in the Italian yachting market Claudio Recchi onITA-93 Team 93 slipped to second place overall, overtaken by American Pieter Taselaar on USA-169 Bliksem. Much further back in third, another famous Italian outfit Armando Guilietti helming ITA-1 Uka Uka Racing for Lorenzo Santini with tactician Lorenzo Bressani.
Race one, right out of the box was Andrea Cecchetti on ITA-753 Bagua with Vasco Vascatto calling tactics launched around the top mark in first with 2006 Melges 24 Corinthian World Champion Jean-Francois Cruette on FRA-202 Teasing Machine with Cedric Pouligny in second right on his heels. In third was Francesco Martino on ITA-161 Pilot Italia. Cecchetti scrambled to set the chute, Cruette gaining quick. Downwind to the gate Cecchetti controlled the lead with a course change and shortened length. Martino pulled up to take second, Cruette now in third. Making great strides upwind was Guilietti and another American challenger Jason Carroll on USA-128 Argo. Around the top Cecchetti remained in first, with Guillietti challenging for the second and Carroll rolling in third all finishing respectively.
The second race of the day belonged to Joe Woods on GBR-500 Red. From start to finish, Woods jumped the fleet at the top mark and slowly but surely increased his lead the entire way. Several of the regatta leaders looked to the left for pressure, but it was Woods around first, leading three-wide with Cruette, Martino and Stefano Di Properizio on ITA-651 Mataran piling into the mark simultaneously. Downwind to the finish the three battled to the gate and through the finish with Filippo Pacinotti on ITA-667 Brontolo with Freddy Loof on tactics making a move for the lead. Woods won the race, Guilietti gained another second place finish, Pacinotti in third, Cruette was fourth, Taselaar in fifth.
More sunshine, clear skies and lighter breezes prevailed for the start of race three. A short course was on tap with an aggressive start for the 29-strong fleet. Maspero launched ahead of the fleet almost immediately assuming the lead at the top mark ahead of Carlo Alberini on ITA-186 Calvi Network, Pacinotti and Taselaar. Maspero extended his lead downwind, behind him Luigi Melegari on ITA-161 Matarix, Pacinotti moved up to third. Maspero went on for the win while a heated battle between Pacinotti and Taselaar continued. Taselaar took second and Carroll, with another fantastic race was third.
Sunday is the final day of racing in Porto Cervo for the Audi Melges 32 World Championship. The day has been filled with many ups and downs for some of the regattas overnight leaders such as Recchi who fell from first place to second and behind a surprising 19 points. Taselaar looked to have been a tough day none the less, but finds himself in the overall lead. Maspero slipped from third to fourth. Cecchetti improved from eighth to fifth. Carroll is now seated in the top ten, in seventh place overall.

ASUW Special Projects Fund Application Deadline is Oct. 12
University of Wyoming students, faculty and registered student organizations have an opportunity to be granted $75,000 for any projects or ideas they think will benefit the student body.
The Associated Students of the University of Wyoming's Special Projects Fund offers the funding to help beautify and enrich UW's campus. Applications for the funding are available at the ASUW office in the Wyoming Union or on its website (www.uwyo.edu/asuw). All applications must be turned in by Friday, Oct. 12, at 5 p.m.
"The Special Projects Fund serves as a benefit to all university students. All funding for this grant is provided through student fees, which makes it even more relevant to the students," says ASUW Director of Finance Chris Haakinson. "Having $75,000 put toward an idea is a truly remarkable opportunity for students or other members of the UW community to bring changes they'd like to see on campus."
The finance policy guidelines specify that each project idea must have a long-lasting benefit to UW's campus, be a one-time request and benefit a large population of students. The project cannot fund research, salaries or classroom projects. In addition, it cannot fund general operating expenses or travel conference expenses. Funds must be spent in the current fiscal year and requests must not exceed $75,000.
For more information, call Haakinson at (307) 766-3296.

Build Healthy Eye care Programs
Rather than building our own eye hospitals, independent of existing structures or sending short-term international doctors to provide services, Seva works in partnership with existing local programs and institutions, training them to provide quality care. This means our eye care services are effective and culturally appropriate. It also ensures that the work we begin will continue into the future.
Global Sight Initiative
Through the Global Sight Initiative, Seva builds collaboration among international eye care organizations in order to share knowledge, systems, and best practices in the field of eye care. We use lessons learned over Seva's 35 year history to improve the efficiency, effectiveness and sustainability of eye care institutions around the world. Through the Global Sight Initiative (a Clinton Global Initiative commitment) each center is increasing the productivity of other eye care institutions in their region of the world. Today nine training centers currently work with over 50 eye hospitals to increase training, productivity and hospital management resources.
Invest in Infrastructure and Equipment
In the remote places where Seva works, access to eye care may mean a multiple-day trip to reach a medical clinic. Many people, particularly those living in poverty, are unable to afford such a long journey. Seva helps to address this by bringing vision centers to local communities and increasing a hospital's outreach capacity.
Eye care requires specialized equipment and facilities. Clinics and hospitals need operating theaters equipped with microscopes. They need appropriate surgical and exam rooms equipped with vision charts and refractive lenses. Seva provides essential supplies necessary to provide quality care. We work with hospital staff to ensure they know how to repair this equipment if it breaks, ensuring that services continue to reach those who need them most.
Train Future Leaders in Global Eye Health
Each year, Seva trains ophthalmologists, ophthalmic assistants, hospital administrators and community health workers. The success and sustainability of an eye care program relies on committed personnel trained in the knowledge and skills of how to provide quality eye services.
Economic Sustainability
Seva's proven model of sustainable development is based on a simple yet effective formula: those patients who can afford to pay for services subsidize the cost of the patients who cannot afford eye care services. Clinics invest the income collected from patients to pay staff salaries, operating costs, and are eventually able to fully sustain their own services, while still providing eye care to those most vulnerable in their communities.
i-Connect: Sharing the world's eye care knowledge
There are thousands of articles, training programs, planning tools and other documents that describe effective strategies for reducing blindness, but these resources are rarely accessible to the people who need them most. i-Connect brings together some of the world's top medical information system professionals, representatives from isolated eye hospital training centers, and search engine giant Google. i-Connect is designed to improve search skills, make more materials available via loan and online, and increase the overall use of knowledge to improve people's vision around the world.
Through a grant from the Elsevier Foundation, i-Connect has been able to expand to include a partnership with the Association of Vision Science Librarians (AVSL). This partnership enables resource librarians at eye hospitals in developing nations to work with seasoned vision science librarians on any issues their resource center is facing.
