Show assumptions set on symbolic variable
Show the assumptions set on variables n and x separately, and then show assumptions set on all variables.
Assume that the variable n is integer and the variable x is rational. In addition to that , assume that the product n*x belongs to the interval from -100 to 100:
syms n x assume(n,'integer') assume(x,'rational') assumeAlso(-100 <= n*x <= 100)
To see the assumptions set on the variable n, enter:
ans = [ -100 <= n*x, n*x <= 100, n in Z_]
To see the assumptions set on the variable x, enter:
ans = [ -100 <= n*x, n*x <= 100, x in Q_]
To see the assumptions set on all variables, use assumptions without any arguments:
ans = [ -100 <= n*x, n*x <= 100, n in Z_, x in Q_]
For further computations, clear the assumptions:
syms n x clear
Show the assumptions set by using syms and assume.
Use assumptions to return all assumptions, including those set by the syms command:
syms x real assumeAlso(x < 0) assumptions(x)
ans = [ x < 0, x in R_]
Variable for which to show assumptions, specified as a symbolic variable or array, vector, or matrix of symbolic variables.
When you delete a symbolic object from the MATLAB workspace by using clear, all assumptions that you set on that object remain in the symbolic engine. If later you declare a new symbolic variable with the same name, it inherits these assumptions.
To clear all assumptions set on a symbolic variable var and the value of the variable, use this command:
syms var clear
To clear assumptions and keep the value of the variable, use this command:
To clear all objects in the MATLAB workspace and close the MuPAD® engine associated with the MATLAB workspace resetting all its assumptions, use this command:

Elegant remodels allow 'aging in place'
Today's graying homeowners don't want ugly grab bars and toilet-seat extenders. They want luxury and style along with accessibility. Plus: 11 tips for an accessible remodel.
No one wants to think about becoming disabled or too old to safely stay in their own home. Images of sterile nursing homes abound, with wide linoleum hallways, wheelchair ramps and stainless-steel grab bars.
But an increasing number of people are rejecting this gloomy stereotype. They're choosing instead to make their homes accommodate their changing bodies -- without forgoing the stylish creature comforts to which they're accustomed.
The construction, home-furnishings and appliances industries are taking note. "It's a huge market," says Jim Lapides, of the National Association of Home Builders' Remodelors Council. "The baby boomers are seeing what is happening with their parents. They are saying, 'This is my last house.'"
According to the AARP, 83% of people over 45 own their own homes. A 2003 AARP survey, "These Four Walls," sampled this group and found that 75% expect to stay there for the rest of their lives; 51% envision making changes so that can happen.
The status quo: Peter Pan homes
Changes are sorely needed, says Leon Harper, a founding member of the National Home Modification Action Coalition, a group of gerontology and design activists, because the typical American home is a "Peter Pan house" -- made for able-bodied young adults and sold "as if this is all they'll need for the rest of their lives."
"It's not that older people or middle-aged people become disabled and become a burden on society," Harper says. But "by the time the first kid breaks their leg and can't use the bathroom, or they have the first illness and can't get up and down the stairs, they begin to think, 'I'm stupid. I'm useless.'" But he tells everyone, "It's not you, it's the house."
Jon Pynoos knew this in theory when he remodeled a backyard playhouse into a separate apartment for his father-in-law. Pynoos, a professor of gerontology, policy, planning and development at the University of Southern California, directs the National Resource Center on Supportive Housing and Home Modification. Still, the remodeling project taught him that the aesthetics of such a remodel are just as important as the utility.
His wife's dad, who has since passed away, was in his 70s and had Paget's disease, which made walking difficult. The goal was a great-looking remodel with accommodations as invisible as possible. Pynoos lavished attention on the bathroom. He used a walk-in shower with no obstructing lip or ledge at the entrance. He chose good-looking, two-inch-square commercial nonskid tile (available in a wide range of colors) to make the bathroom floor safer when wet. Lever handles replaced doorknobs throughout, even in the shower. An anti-scald device kept water temperature even. (Aged skin is less sensitive to heat, so you can get burned before you know it's happening.)
The entire living space was well-lit, with dimmers -- on every light -- controlled by arthritis-friendly rocker switches. Control panels for all the lights were placed at the bed and the front door.
"The nice thing about all these kinds of features is that they are unobtrusive," Pynoos says. "You wouldn't notice them." Even the bathroom grab bars and higher toilet did not look "institutional."
What's 'universal design'?
Such high-design improvements originate in the "universal design" movement, also called "design for all" or "inclusive design." The idea, says Wolfgang Preiser, a professor of architecture and interior design at the University of Cincinnati, is to make homes and furnishings that work for nearly everyone, of all sizes, shapes, ages and abilities. Preiser is co-editor of "The Universal Design Handbook," a bible for designers, students, clients and builders.
The movement is making inroads in the U.S. One measure is the marketing of accessible products by manufacturers like American Standard and Toto. The companies target, in addition to the graying market, younger families with children who find the appliances and fixtures useful during pregnancy and recovery from sports injuries.
Builders are gearing up. Polling remodelers, the National Association of Home Builders learned that:
- 75% reported getting more requests for "aging in place" projects;
- 60% had done such jobs. Of those:
- 43% were for customers aged 45 to 54;
- 76% were for customers aged 55 to 64; and
- 67% were for customers 65 and older.
The remodelers reported that clients wanted aging-in-place remodeling because:
- 75% were planning for future needs;
- 53% were living with older parents;
- 46% had acute, age-related disabilities; and
- 23% had acute disabilities unrelated to aging.
The industry group predicts aging will be the second-biggest influence on the remodeling industry in the next five years, just behind finding enough skilled labor.
The builders and the AARP created a popular course focusing on this new market, says Lapides, of the Remodelors Council. Since 2002, the NAHB Remodelors Council has been turning out "Certified Aging in Place" specialists (find one near you here). About 1,115 students have graduated from the course, which is more focused on sensitivity training than carpentry techniques, says Lapides. Students -- remodelers, architects, designers, occupational therapists and others -- maneuver through buildings in wheelchairs and simulate the experience of arthritis, for example, by holding a tennis ball in each hand while writing a check or opening a door.
Manufacturers hop on board
Still, the marketplace is responding to the demands of graying remodelers with caution, taking careful note that it is the combination of luxury and accessibility that sells.
Contractormag.com, an industry trade sheet, cautions builders that when upscale, graying clients are remodeling for accessibility, "stylish is replacing sterile." People with disabilities have been lobbying for design changes for decades, but the word "disability" still is a turnoff, Gary Uhl told the magazine. Uhl is design director for bathroom-fixtures maker American Standard. "The vast majority" of American Standard's new products meet ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) requirements, said Uhl, but the company markets them by emphasizing their stylishness.
GE's universal design kitchen includes:
- A sink that can be raised or lowered;
- A raised dishwasher;
- Roll-out shelves;
- Cabinet doors that retract to leave knee space for people in wheelchairs;
- A counter that slides out from under the oven; and
- Kitchen-floor edging in a contrasting color to help orient people with limited eyesight.
More appliance makers tout universal design, even if they don't use that name. High-end Japanese toilet maker Toto markets its "washlet" -- a toilet-seat bidet that can be inserted into a standard toilet -- to older Americans. ("While (it) is perfect for everyone, it's also ideal for expectant mothers, the physically challenged or the elderly," says Toto.) The washlet features a heated seat, air purification and a stream of warm water aimed at the front or rear of the user's anatomy, followed by a rush of warm air -- for paperless drying.
Americans, unaccustomed to bidets, may poke fun at the product, but it's easy to see how it could solve hygiene problems and extend independence for those who have difficulty moving.
At Kohler's "Bath Design: Aging Gracefully" site, the stress is also on design: "The last thing health-conscious baby boomers want, however, are bathrooms that suggest old age or anything remotely institutional," the site says. For easy bathing, Kohler suggests a "shower tower," starting at $4,541, with seven adjustable water outlets -- two showerheads, four body sprays and a hand-held shower, plus a safety valve that heads off sudden spurts of dangerously hot water due to drops in water pressure. Faucets have lever handles, a standard feature of universal design. Kohler offers electronically controlled shower heads, concealed in tile work, that remember how you like your shower, just as up-market cars remember drivers' seat positions. There are vanities with adjustable or removable cabinets. One cabinet has a removable base or pocket doors so a wheelchair can glide right up to the wall-mounted Kohler sink.
Handsome, taller toilets are made now to eliminate the difficulty of stooping and standing without the need for institutional-looking toilet-seat extenders. American Standard makes the Cadet Right-Height Pressure-Assisted Elongated Toilet -- in 10 colors. One Kohler solution, the high-fashion "hatbox" toilet, perfectly illustrates the demand for both design and function in accessible appliances.
Even the bathroom grab bar, the appliance that most shouts "old age!" and "infirmity!," has been given a design upgrade by companies like Moen, with a variety of styles and finishes that often match the faucets and your other bathroom hardware.
11 tips for a successful, accessible remodel
If you're ready to remodel with an eye to the future, take advantage of all the existing research out there. Search the Internet and bookstores using terms like "universal design" and "aging in place." The National Resource Center on Supportive Housing and Home Modification Web site is a good starting point. It has basic guidelines on design for safety and accessibility.
One of the biggest ways to ensure success is to choose the right contractor, one who is interested and wants your ideas. But remember, accessibility design is still new to many building professionals, so respectfully communicate the specifics of your plan and expectations to your contractor and each subcontractor. Document a concise explanation with detailed drawings of what you require and why. You'll also want to watchdog every step of the remodel process, politely ensuring that your plans are carried out. If you can't do that, hire someone who can.
As for the actual changes to consider making to your home, Sam Clark has the following suggestions. He's a builder and author of "The Real Goods Independent Builder: Designing & Building a House Your Own Way" and "Remodeling a Kitchen":
- Remodel your home so that you can live on the ground level if necessary.
- Widen doorways to accommodate wheelchairs. Leave enough interior space for a wheelchair to maneuver and turn (a turning circle is 5 feet in diameter; backing and turning requires a 3-foot-wide T-shape path).
- Plan the front entry to be as level with the ground as local building codes allow. Eliminate stairs with gently sloping sidewalks that roll right up to a no-barrier front-door threshold. By planning for this now you can avoid later "building a 25-foot-long wheelchair ramp that is a) costly and b) kind of unsightly," says Clark.
- Try to think way ahead. Example: In a bathroom remodel, install reinforcement for grab bars while the walls are torn up, even if you don't need the bars now. You can install the bars later without ripping up walls.
- Plan for lots of storage within the "optimal reach zone" -- the space between 20 inches and 44 inches above the floor to a depth of 20 inches away from your body. The zone was conceived by Margaret Wylde, who founded Promatura Group, an Oxford, Miss., research and consulting firm. She wrote "Building for a Lifetime: The Design and Construction of Fully Accessible Homes."
- Use drawers instead of cupboards where possible.
- Install lever handles throughout the house. They're decorative and, for people with arthritis (the most common chronic condition of old age, particularly among women), pressing down is much easier than turning a knob.
- Use hard flooring or choose an attractive, low-pile commercial carpet. Omit the pad and glue the carpet directly to the floor so there is nothing to trip over.
- When installing grab bars, tailor the exact location to the height of the people using them. Get your installer to measure your reach from sitting atop the toilet and sitting in the shower.
- Place electric outlets higher than usual and switches lower.
- Install a shelf outside the front door so you can put down packages while searching for keys.
Following these guidelines requires a lot of thought and effort. But for your trouble, you may stave off a nursing home. "My father-in-law lived with us for five years," Pynoos says. "He said to me once, this was the best thing I ever could have done for him."

When actor Alfred Molina got a call that Michael Grandage, artistic director of London's high-profile Donmar Warehouse, wanted to meet with him, he relished a session of gossip about London theater.
But Grandage had a different agenda. Toward the end of their chat, the director slid a FedEx envelope across the table.
"Is this what I think it is?" asked Molina. "It looks suspiciously like a play."
Grandage told him about the play and the part, left him the script and Molina went off to a restaurant and started reading.
"By Page 21, I knew I had to do it," Molina recalls. "I often tell people that when you read a play, the moment when you know you have to do it is not a punching-the-air moment. It's actually a sinking feeling because all your options disappear. Everything narrows down to this one thing you know you have to do."
The role was Abstract Expressionist Mark Rothko, the central figure in John Logan's new drama, "Red." The 90-minute play is set in Rothko's New York studio in 1958 as the painter works on a series of murals commissioned for the Four Seasons restaurant in the city's iconic Seagram Building.
Taking on a commission he didn't need and a new assistant he did, Rothko rails against an art world that is changing -- and a young man who embraces the change.
"It was telling a very real, very powerful story about an intelligent, troubled and conflicted man," says Molina. "You think, 'Wow, Rothko is demanding, difficult and a bully,' but at the same time you can't stop listening to him."
London transfer
"Red" debuted in December at the Donmar, directed by Grandage and costarring Eddie Redmayne as assistant Ken. His head shaved, his demeanor fierce, Molina inhabits Logan's isolated, isolating protagonist, raging at Redmayne's Ken but also at himself. The play and its actors fared well with London critics and audiences and, following the path of earlier transfers of the Grandage-directed "Frost/Nixon" and "Hamlet" with Jude Law, opens on Broadway April 1.
"The spirit is larger because we're now in an 800-seat theater [the Donmar has 250 seats], and I hasten to add that Alfred Molina is even better on Broadway, because he's been unleashed," says Logan, screenwriter of "Sweeney Todd," "The Aviator" and "Gladiator." "He has a greater animal freedom, and he is now absolutely ferocious."
Onstage as Rothko, that is. Molina has a short break at home in Los Angeles between his London performance and Broadway, and over coffee in a Hollywood diner he is much closer to his affable Englishman in the film "An Education."
Though he is imposing at 6 feet, 2 inches, beneath his bushy eyebrows the deep brown eyes are friendly, the body language relaxed, the manner charming.
Few actors appear so different so often. Onscreen, for instance, he's appeared as a Spanish bishop in "The Da Vinci Code," a British soldier in "The Little Traitor," a Mexican muralist in "Frida," a French mayor in "Chocolat," a drug lord in "Boogie Nights" and an Iranian doctor in "Not Without My Daughter."
His stage work is also eclectic: He was nominated for a 2004 Tony Award for playing the Russian Jewish milkman, Tevye, in "Fiddler on the Roof" and again in 1998 for his performance as a worried stationer in Yasmina Reza's "Art."
"Red" follows his well-received performance in "An Education," in which he played the ambitious British father of a bright teenage girl ( Carey Mulligan) whose judgment is clouded by her smooth-talking older suitor.
"You always feel there's something more that he doesn't reveal," says Lone Scherfig, director of "An Education." "He's like a Ferrari: You can press the gas pedal more and it can go much faster, but there's no need."
Writer Lynn Barber, whose memoir inspired "An Education," has written that she found Molina "positively heart-rending" as her father, and Scherfig confides "he understood the character better than I did. It was under his skin. He knew that London in the late '50s."

Payroll tax cut extension stalls
The contentious issue remains how it will be funded. Four negotiating sessions have yielded plenty of political rhetoric, but no progress.
This post is by Andrew Taylor of The Associated Press.
The prospects for an extension of President Barack Obama's payroll tax cut, once considered a slam dunk on Capitol Hill, now seem far less certain as talks in Congress have deadlocked over finding ways to pay for it.
In a contentious negotiating session Tuesday, Democrats came out against House GOP proposals to partially pay for the two percentage point payroll tax holiday through freezing federal workers' pay and requiring more affluent seniors to pay higher Medicare premiums.
Also at stake: a renewal of jobless benefits for people who have been out of work for more than six months, as well as a fix for an outdated government formula intended to prevent doctors from having to take huge cuts in their Medicare payments.
After four public sessions, the House-Senate talks have failed to yield a single significant breakthrough, leading party leaders in both the GOP-dominated House and Democratic-led Senate to lob charges that their rivals are slow-walking the negotiations.
"We have significant concerns about whether Senate Democrats are really willing to step up and work with House Republicans on the payroll tax cut bill," House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said. "Senate Democrats have never come to the table with a plan to offset this new spending that they're all for." (Post continues below video.)
For his part, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has threatened to bring up a whole new measure if the House-Senate negotiations remain stalled.
Michigan Rep. Dave Camp, the top GOP negotiator, has turned the focus to the most contentious issue: finding ways to foot the bill for the $150 billion to $160 billion cost of the measure.
But Camp, a top Boehner lieutenant, has been slow to invite Democrats to discuss their ideas to pay for the legislation, insisting -- at least until Tuesday -- on obeying arcane rules that limit the scope of the debate to the GOP ideas that have passed the House on a near-party-line vote last year. That has led to meandering discussions on topics like blocking Environmental Protection Agency rules on emissions from industrial boilers and allowing states to impose drug tests on people receiving jobless benefits.
After Tuesday's talks went nowhere, Camp finally invited Democrats to submit proposals not related to those contained in the House GOP measure and said that negotiators might be forced to scale it back.
Tuesday's almost three-hour discussion, like three previous ones, favored speechifying over real negotiations.
Lawmakers lobbed charges back and forth over whether it was fair for three million federal civilian workers to have their pay frozen for a third consecutive year to help pay for the tax cut and whether seniors with income exceeding $80,000 a year should pay more for their Medicare coverage.
"It seems to be the flavor of the day to go after federal workers," said Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md.
Leading Democratic negotiator Sen. Max Baucus of Montana added: "We should not be penalizing (Medicare) beneficiaries while we're increasing doctor fees."
But Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., a veteran of the failed budget "supercommittee" and deficit talks last year involving Vice President Joe Biden, said the ideas had been all but agreed to in negotiations last year.
"We're hearing 'no' for the sake of hearing 'no,'" said Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Texas.
Negotiators also split over whether people who receive health insurance subsidies under Obama's new health care law should have to repay a greater portion of overpayments they may receive. It's a complicated topic, but Democrats have supported the idea in previous legislation.
Taken together, the three provisions discussed Tuesday would raise $70 billion over a decade to finance the jobless benefits, payroll tax cut and Medicare payments to doctors.
The proposals amply demonstrated the tradeoffs involved in cutting spending elsewhere in the budget to defray the cost of cutting taxes. Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., pointed out that the proposed pay freeze for federal workers would end up costing them far more than they would get from the two percentage point payroll tax cut, which would deliver just $20 a week to a typical worker earning a $50,000 salary.
Similarly, a proposal to raise $31 billion over a decade by requiring wealthier seniors to pay higher Medicare premiums would eventually require 25% of beneficiaries to pay higher "means-tested" premiums instead of just 5% now.
Democrats came out in opposition to each idea, saying it would be unfair to use spending cuts affecting the middle class to fund the payroll tax measure. But Republicans shot back that a so-called millionaires' surcharge pushed by Democrats went nowhere in the Senate and that the cuts have to come from somewhere.
As for the partisan pot-shots from top leaders Reid and Boehner, Camp said: "I don't think the comments from either side of leadership, from either body, are particularly helpful."

Thu, 03 Jul 2014 13:32:14 -0700
Indianapolis Colts WR LaVon Brazill has been suspended for at least one year without pay by the NFL for violating the policy and program for substances of abuse.
Fantasy Tip: With Brazill out for the season, Da'Rick Rogers and Donte Moncrief could receive bigger roles on offense in 2014. Griff Whalen may also have a chance to make the final roster. None of the players should be drafted in leagues but could be waiver wire options depending on how they are used on offense.

|Colts | T.Y. Hilton quiet in Week 14
Mon, 09 Dec 2013 15:56:54 -0800
Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton had just two catches for seven yards while playing 45 snaps in Week 14 against the Cincinnati Bengals. In the last four weeks, Hilton has just 17 catches for 135 yards. Hilton had back-to-back 100-yard receiving games following WR Reggie Wayne's (knee) injury, but since then, opposing secondaries are clamping down on Hilton and giving him more double coverages. "I'm seeing double teams. Sometimes they roll the coverage my way. It just means guys got to step up, which they did, so we're moving in the right direction. (LaVon) Brazill, DHB (Darrius Heyward-Bey) made a big play and Da'Rick (Rogers) making plays, so as long as they continue to keep doing that, we should be fine."
Fantasy Tip: As a result, Da'Rick Rogers and LaVon Brazill have seen more opportunities. Rogers has benefitted the most, so maybe his emergence will draw some attention off of Hilton. Until then, temper your expectations with Hilton as more of a weak WR2.

|Colts | Da'Rick Rogers, LaVon Brazill score twice
Sun, 08 Dec 2013 19:06:29 -0800
Indianapolis Colts WRs LaVon Brazill and Da'Rick Rogers each had two receiving touchdowns in the Week 14 loss against the Cincinnati Bengals. Rogers was making his NFL debut.
Fantasy Tip: Brazill and Rogers certainly look to have a bright future, but don't get too carried away with this one performance. Wait to see if they can duplicate their success before risking a fantasy roster spot on either of the receivers.

|Colts | Darrius Heyward-Bey dropping on depth chart?
Thu, 05 Dec 2013 10:04:16 -0800
Signs are pointing toward Indianapolis Colts WR Da'Rick Rogers moving ahead of WR Darrius Heyward-Bey on the team's depth chart at wide receiver. Rogers made his debut with the team in Week 13 and played in 13 offensive plays. "We've got four guys on the 53-man roster right now at the wide receiver position and we've got to do a great job of playing to their strengths," head coach Chuck Pagano said. "We're going to need them all." Heyward-Bey has been targeted 26 times in the last five games but has just nine catches for 96 yards.
Fantasy Tip: As Mike Chappell notes, Rogers or LaVon Brazill could overtake DHB on the depth chart and be utilized more often in the final four games of the regular season. They both have more upside than DHB, as well. Take note if you've been holding onto Hewyard-Bey as the No. 2 opposite T.Y. Hilton. It's probably time to cut bait.

World's Longest Married Couple Has the Secret to Lasting Love
Herbert and Zelmyra FisherHerbert and Zelmyra Fisher have had what may very well be the best reason to be on the books at Guinness World Records: The North Carolina couple went down in history for having the longest marriage. For 86 years, 9 months, and 16 days. That's eighty and a six. Years. That's a lot of laundry, dinners, dishes, and—goodness gracious—bills. A lot of learning how to kiss and make up and enjoy each other and be a partner. Granted, they got hitched back in 1924, when folks stayed together out of a sense of duty as much as they did for love. But what an inspiration, particularly because there are more folks treating divorce as flippantly as a high school breakup than there should be.
Mr. Fisher passed away in February at a remarkable 104 years old, leaving his 101-year-old wife for the first time in almost nine decades. But the precious pair with the priceless story shared some relationship advice for their admirers and marathon marriage wannabes to mill over. On Valentine's Day a few years ago, they took to their Twitter page (yes, they have a Twitter page) to share their secret for building a long marriage.
More from The Stir: How to Keep Your Marriage Strong at Every Age
The secret is there is none, according to them. No a-ha discovery. You just have to be invested in it and make it work the way you need to make it work. Here's a little of what they said:
What made you realize that you could spend the rest of your lives together? Were you scared at all?
H&Z: With each day that passed, our relationship was more solid and secure. Divorce was NEVER an option—or even a thought.
What is your advice to someone who is trying to keep the faith that Mr. Right is really out there?
Zelmyra: Mine was just around the corner! He is never too far away, so keep the faith—when you meet him, you'll know.
What are the most important attributes of a good spouse?
Zelmyra: A hard worker & good provider. The 1920s were hard, but Herbert wanted & provided the best for us. I married a good man!
At the end of bad relationship day, what is the most important thing to remind yourselves?
H&Z: Remember marriage is not a contest—never keep a score. God has put the two of you together on the same team to win.
Does communicating get easier with time? How do you keep your patience?
H&Z: The children are grown, so we talk more now. We can enjoy our time on the porch or our rocking chairs together.
More from The Stir: Gwyneth Paltrow's Love Advice Is Surprisingly Solid
But above all else, they said, you have to be willing to stick it out. Well, that's obvious. I'm pretty sure Mr. Herbert plucked Ms. Zelmyra's nerves somewhere along the line just as much as I'm certain that Ms. Zelmyra rubbed Mr. Herbert the wrong way in 86 years. That's a mighty long time to know a person, much less to grow and cohabitate with them. But 5 kids, 10 grandkids, 9 great-grands, and one great-great grand later, they made it work and stick. That's the program I'm trying to be on. So along with my grandparents, Wayman and Mildred Harris, my pastors, Revs. Harold and Kellie Hayes, and Cliff and Claire Huxtable, I'm adding the Fishers to my inspiration list.
I've been thinking a lot about how different couples operate their love, how they make it last, how they grow together, even through life's changes and challenges. Last year, I interviewed Niecey Nash (who is cute as a button, by the way) before she strolled down the aisle, and she had one of the best pre-nuptial ideas I've ever heard. Instead of having the standard bachelor/bachelorette shindigs—and probably all of the drama that goes along with them—she and her fiancé decided to host a dinner party with couples who had been married 20, 30, 40 years.
I let her know, at the end of our conversation, that I would be stealing that idea when it comes time for me to be a bride. I'm willing to sit at the feet of any older person. They're so full of hard-earned wisdom, especially when it comes to matters of the heart.
Which couples in your life give you relationship inspiration?

They are adorable! I agree with their statements. Marriage is about commitment and communacation. My husband and I also agree that divorce is not an option which means we work out everything. We talked about everything before we got married such as kids, religion, money, work, and future goals. The fact that we share the same values and goals for our life means that we are usually on the same page. When we do disagree, we always agrue fair. We NEVER call each other names or say anything we can't take back and we NEVER bring up past issues. Once an issue is talked through, it is over. Just this week, my husband and I celebrated our 19th wedding anniversary...a long way from 86 but I hope to spend the rest of my life with my husband :)

Mono Fish
Silver Moony, Moonfish, Mono ArgentusFamily: Monodactylidae Monodactylus argenteusPhoto © Animal-World: Courtesy Greg Rothschild
The Mono Fish is a shiny diamond shaped fish that's perfect for the brackish water aquarium!
The Mono Monodactylus argenteus is a beautiful silvery fish that definitely has a place in any brackish aquarium. This Silver Moony is one of the aquarium favorites. It is a good sized fish, deep bodied and laterally compressed with an attractive roundish diamond shape.
Overall the Mono Fish is silver in color highlighted with a light yellow on the dorsal, anal and tail fins. Two vertical black stripes adorn the front, one running through the eye and a second across the gill. When they are young they also have a bright yellow dorsal fin which adds to their appeal. The disc-like shape and shiny silver color have led to all sorts of descriptive common names like Silver Moony, Silver Moonfish, Silver Batfish, Diamond Moonfish, Diamondfish, Fingerfish, Kitefish, and even Malayan Angel.
The Moonfish, Scats and Archerfish are the quintessential brackish water fish. They are all big, attractively patterned, and very durable. Almost every brackish aquarium will include at least one these types. This Moony will grow up to about 6 inches (15 cm) in the aquarium. They must be kept in schools however, as individuals are too nervous to be kept on their own. But they are a peaceful shoaling fish and a school of these fish are a beautiful sight. Mono's and Scats mix well with each other too, and a mixed school of these species can be kept with great success.
If kept correctly, a school of Mono Argentus will give you many years of enjoyment. The Mono is suggested for a more experienced fish keeper because of their need to change water conditions as they age. Some Moon Fish will survive for awhile in a freshwater environment when young, but as adults they really are brackish water fish. Adults can even be acclimated to a full saltwater environment. If you are up for that challenge these fish are easy to feed and will take a variety of foods.
Mono Fish are lively and entertaining to watch, but they are also timid and easily frightened. Keep them with peaceful tank mates, but not too little as they may eat smaller fish. They are hearty eaters and enjoy a variety of foods from live and frozen foods to flakes, and will even munch on lettuce and spinach.

Habitat: Distribution / Background
The Mono Monodactylus argenteus was described by Linnaeus in 1758. The Mono Fish has a very large distribution. They are found in the Red Sea, along the coasts of Australia, Eastern Africa and throughout Southeast Asia. The Mono Argentus is not listed on the IUCN Red List. Other names this fish is commonly known by are Silver Moony, Silver moonfish, Moonfish, Silver Batfish, Diamond Moonfish, Diamondfish, Fingerfish, Kitefish, Singapore Angelfish, Moony, Moonyfish, and Malayan Angel.
Mono Fish are found in schools in the shallow portions of estuaries, inshore reefs, and fresh water tidal pools. The adult fish will normally inhabit the coastal areas and the juveniles will stay more in brackish environments. In nature the Mono will eat a variety of plant matter, detritus, and insects.
- Scientific Name: Monodactylus argenteus
- Social Grouping: Groups
- IUCN Red List: NE - Not Evaluated or not listed
The Mono Argentus is a disc- shaped fish with a flattened body, similar to that of a freshwater Angelfish minus the feelers. Mono Fish can reach up to 11 inches (27 cm) in the wild. In the aquarium they will generally not get much bigger than about 6 inches (15 cm) with a life span of about 7 - 10 years.
The body coloration of the Mono is a shiny silver with light yellow coloring on the dorsal, anal and tail fins. There are two vertical black bands, one extending through the eye with another just behind it that extends across the body and along the front edges of the dorsal and anal fin. Juveniles have a brighter yellow dorsal fin.
- Size of fish - inches: 10.6 inches (27.00 cm) - Tank raised specimens rarely grow larger than 6 inches (15 cm).
- Lifespan: 7 years - The Mono has a lifespan of about 7-10 years.
The Mono Fish is suggested for a more experienced fish keeper as they must be kept in strongly brackish or marine aquariums. A great deal of experience is need to successfully house these fish, but for an experience aquarist they will present no particular problems. To successfully change water conditions as the fish ages can be a challenge. In addition to a good sized tank, the only other requirement is clean, well filtered water. If you are up for that challenge these fish are easy to feed and will take a variety of foods.
- Aquarium Hardiness: Moderately Difficult
- Aquarist Experience Level: Advanced
The Mono Fish is an omnivorous species. In the wild they feed on a variety of plant matter, detritus, and insects. Although in the aquarium they will eat dried foods, they really should be fed a varied diet consisting of fresh or frozen foods such as brine shrimp or bloodworms. They can also be offered some vegetable matter such as algae, blanched lettuce and spinach, and boiled peas.
- Diet Type: Omnivore
- Flake Food: Yes
- Tablet Pellet: Yes
- Live foods (fishes, shrimps, worms): Some of Diet
- Vegetable Food: Some of Diet
- Meaty Food: Some of Diet
- Feeding Frequency: Several feedings per day
Some Mono Fish will survive for awhile in pure freshwater but they really are brackish water fish. These fish are also greedy, fast growing feeders and produce a lot of waste. They need quality water conditions and so a powerful filter is essential. Their tank should be cleaned weekly and have at least a 30% water change done.
- Water Changes: Weekly - Do at least a 30% water change weekly.
Monos will swim in all parts of the aquarium. A minimum school size of at least five Mono Fish is recommended, with more being better. Pairs and trios They will need at least a 55 gallon aquarium with plenty of aeration. As they grow an upgraded tank will be needed. Some Monos will survive for awhile in pure freshwater but they really are brackish water fish. Their aquarium water should be made brackish by the addition of some high quality marine water salt mix, approximately 2 - 3 teaspoons per gallon. This species will also do very well in pure saltwater and usually looks their best when kept this way.
For substrate use a fine gravel or sand. A high efficient undergravel filter will work well to keep the oxygen level high in the tank. A efficient canister filter will work well with these aggressive, messy eaters. Monos need plenty of swimming space and driftwood, branches and roots make good decor and an area for the fish to entertain themselves.
- Minimum Tank Size: 55 gal (208 L)
- Suitable for Nano Tank: No
- Substrate Type: Sand/Gravel Mix
- Lighting Needs: Moderate - normal lighting
- Temperature: 75.0 to 82.0° F (23.9 to 27.8° C)
- Range ph: 7.2-8.5
- Hardness Range: 8 - 14 dGH
- Brackish: Yes - Adults must be kept in strongly brackish water or fully marine aquariums.
- Water Movement: Moderate
- Water Region: All
A schooling fish, the Monos do best in groups of 5 or more. They are relatively peaceful fish, but they do squabble within their ranks. Fish kept in pairs or even trios rarely work out, as there is no room to spread out aggression. These fish develop a hierarchy within their school, with the largest fish being more dominant and feeding first.
They are lively and rambunctious, but they are peaceful with their other tank mates. They may eat small fish and shrimp and they are easily intimidated by large or aggressive fish. So be sure none of their tank mates are likely to ever grow to be much larger than the Monos will, and also be sure their tank mates aren't bite size.
Never include Monos and freshwater Angelfish in the same tank. Angelfish have two 'feelers' in front of the bottom fin. Monos natural clean each other and when they see an angelfish, they try to clean the feelers off of them. It is said that Mono's think Angelfish are also Monos and don't understand that their feelers are suppose to be there. Good choices would be larger Mollies, as well as Archerfish, Scats, and brackish species of Gobies.
- Venomous: No
- Temperament: Semi-aggressive
- Compatible with:
- Same species - conspecifics: Yes - Groups of 5 or more are necessary.
- Peaceful fish (): Monitor - They will eat smaller fish.
- Semi-Aggressive (): Monitor
- Aggressive (): Threat

Sexual differences are unknown.
The Monodactylus Argenteus has not been bred in captivity. There are reports of accidental spawning activity, but this behavior hasn't been successfully duplicated.
- Ease of Breeding: Difficult
With the Mono Fish disease is not usually a problem in a well maintained aquarium. That being said there is no guarantee that you won't have to deal with health problems or disease. Anything you add to your tank can bring disease to your tank. Not only other fish but plants, substrate, and decorations can harbor bacteria. Take great care and make sure to properly clean or quarantine anything that you add to an established tank so not to upset the balance. Banded Archer are very resilient once established in a tank.
A good thing about the Mono is that due to their resilience, an outbreak of disease can often be limited to just one or a few fishes if you deal with it at an early stage. When keeping more sensitive types of fish, it is common for all fishes to be infected even before the first warning signs can be noticed. The best way to proactively prevent disease is to give your Mono the proper environment and give them a well balanced diet. The closer to their natural habitat the less stress the fish will have, making them healthier and happy A stressed fish will is more likely to acquire disease.
Mono are fairly hardy fish if their water requirements are met, but are subject to the same diseases as other tropical fish. One of the most common freshwater fish ailments is ich.It is recommended to read up on the common tank diseases. Knowing the signs and catching and treating them early makes a huge difference. For information about freshwater fish diseases and illnesses, see Aquarium Fish Diseases and Treatments.

The food court at Georgia Gwinnett College earned an "A" on its most recent health report card. But that's after failing an initial routine inspection late last month.
The student food service consists of a Quiznos sub shop and three cafes operated by Sodexo. The company is in charge of all on-campus dining services at GGC, said college spokeswoman Sally Ramey.
During the initial routine inspection, the health score was lowered to a 64/U because management had no parasite destruction documentation for the raw fish sushi. Also, employees did not keep track of how long cooked chicken wings and strips were left in a hot holding cabinet.
In other code violations, foods were not stored properly in the freezer and cooler, and an employee working with raw chicken wore the same pair of gloves for multiple tasks.
After re-inspection, the health score improved to a 90/A. There were still problems with food storage, and some yogurt in a self-service display had to be discarded because it been there too long. And sushi is off the menu, at least for now.
Sodexo spokesman Greg Yost said the company is committed to following strict safety procedures and guidelines in its food operations. He said the initial health inspection did not meet company standards and Sodexo addressed the issue immediately.
"Our operations at the college were re-inspected and we earned an A rating, which is in-line with our outstanding inspection track record on the campus, dating back to 2008," he said.
Current scores of other GGC dining services include: student center dining hall, 90/A; and GGCity Café, 100/A.
Here are other recent inspection scores from area restaurants.

Early in the renovations at the former Town Theatre movie house on West Fayette Street, a member of the architectural firm was hoisted on a cherry picker and spotted something beneath the grime up at the top of the facade of the century-old building. It was a single capital letter: "E."
"Everybody got such a kick out of that," said architect Diane Cho of Cho Benn Holback + Associates. "It was very kismet."
That "E," left over from the first commercial establishment on that spot in 1911, a vaudeville house called the Empire Theatre, would fit just fine for the new owner — Everyman Theatre.
This week, about 18 months after work on the $18 million renovation project started, Everyman, a 22-year-old professional Equity company with an admired corps of resident actors and designers, opens its new home to the public.
It's a bold step for Everyman, which is increasing its annual budget from $1.7 million to $2.3 million and adding four staffers (for a total of 19) as a result of the move. And the opening of the company's new home makes a major addition to the city's West Side.
"More theater is better," said Jeff Daniel, president of the Hippodrome at the France-Merrick Performing Arts Center, located around the corner from Everyman. "It's going to have an impact on the neighborhood, the Hippodrome and the new Bromo Tower Arts and Entertainment District. Happily, that impact couldn't be more positive for every one of them."
There is a lot of history behind the Everyman property. After a couple of decades, the Empire was refurbished and renamed the Palace Theatre, where the burlesque entertainment proved so risque for Baltimore that the place was shut down in 1937.
The building was turned into a parking garage before resuming as an entertainment destination in 1947, this time as a 1,550-seat cinema, the Town, which was shuttered in 1990.
Bank of America and the Harold Dawson Trust turned the building over to Everyman for the sum of $1 in 2006. A fundraising campaign drew major contributions from the city, corporations and foundations, as well as numerous private donors. Enough money was collected early on that the onset of the Great Recession in 2008 slowed the project only slightly.
"The magnitude of what we did was especially incredible during a bad economy," Tresselt said.
Historic preservation tax credits helped with the project; that also meant maintaining the original walls and roof. "That left no room for expansion" Cho said.
On Monday morning, the next chapter of the site officially begins with a ribbon-cutting ceremony in front of the original white facade, where its Corinthian columns now gleam again. Inside, the soaring lobby is covered with textured wallpaper in a bold raspberry shade and animated by drawings of set and costume designs from past Everyman productions.
"This way, we sort of bring the old theater with us," said company artistic director Vincent Lancisi.
That's the only physical connection to the old Everyman, a nondescript, low-ceilinged, converted bowling alley on North Charles Street the company rented for almost 20 years.
"We had 10,000 square feet of usable space there," said managing director Ian Tresselt. "Now, we have 34,000."
The new performance space has walls and seats covered in a dark, rich aubergine shade, creating a look Cho describes as "a little velvet curtain-y." The room has a calming, welcoming effect, achieved economically.
"That's just stained plywood on the walls," Tresselt said. "The floors are recycled plastic bottles. The handrail is reclaimed steel. It's very eco-friendly."
Everyman is wasting no time showing off the most important element of the facility. Lancisi's choice for the inaugural production is the Baltimore premiere of Tracy Lett's 2008 Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning play, "August: Osage County." This epic-length work calls for something the company could only dream about before — a three-tiered set.
"At Charles Street, one floor would have been the limit," Tresselt said. "We could not have done a play like this in that space; it would not have served the play. Here, the 'August' set is complete with an attic level. This theater opens up the canon of work we can do."
While the theater is vastly different from the old one (a state-of-the-art lighting grid and substantial backstage scenery shop with abundant storage are among the new features), that doesn't mean that the audience will experience a drastic environmental change.

"Black Power" meant many different things. But all in all, its focus suggested a shift away from goals of assimilation, and toward an increased awareness of social distinctiveness.
If you studied any kind of history, you would see this fact as very evident.

Observations on Program Sustainability and Strategies to Control Spending on Any Proposed Drug Benefit
GAO-03-650T: Published: Apr 9, 2003. Publicly Released: Apr 9, 2003.

(202) 512-4561
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The House Committee on Ways and Means is holding a hearing on modernizing Medicare and integrating prescription drugs into the program. There are growing concerns about gaps in the Medicare program, most notably the lack of outpatient prescription drug coverage, which may leave Medicare's most vulnerable beneficiaries with high out-of-pocket costs. At the same time, Medicare already faces a huge projected financial imbalance that has worsened significantly in the past year. This statement discusses the challenges of adding a drug benefit to Medicare in the context of the program's current and projected financial condition. It also examines program design issues to be considered with respect to administering any proposed drug benefit. Specifically, it discusses how private sector health plans have used entities called pharmacy benefit managers (PBM) to control drug benefit expenditures.
The recent publication of the 2003 Medicare Trustees' annual report reminds us that Medicare in its current condition--without a prescription drug benefit--is not sustainable. At the same time there are growing concerns about gaps in the Medicare program, most notably the lack of outpatient prescription drug coverage, that may leave Medicare's most vulnerable beneficiaries with high out-of-pocket costs. The Hospital Insurance (HI) portion of Medicare faces a huge projected financial imbalance that has worsened significantly in the past year. Under the Trustees' 2003 intermediate estimates, the present value of HI's actuarial deficit is $6.2 trillion--a 20 percent increase over the prior year. Beginning in 2013, HI's program outlays are expected to begin to exceed program tax revenues, putting increased pressure on the federal budget to raise the resources necessary to meet program costs. In addition, Supplementary Medical Insurance is projected to place an increasing burden on taxpayers and beneficiaries. GAO's long-term budget simulations show that, absent meaningful entitlement reforms, demographic trends and rising health care spending will drive escalating federal deficits and debt. Neither slowing the growth of discretionary spending nor allowing the 2001 tax reductions to sunset will eliminate the imbalance. While additional economic growth will help ease our burden, the potential fiscal gap is too great to grow our way out of the problem. The application of basic health insurance principles to any proposed benefit could help moderate the cost for both beneficiaries and taxpayers. These include beneficiary protections against the risk of catastrophic medical expenses and premium contributions and cost-sharing arrangements that encourage beneficiaries to be cost conscious. The private sector's use of PBMs to control drug expenditures may be instructive for Medicare, but the program's unique role and nature may moderate how such entities would be used and the potential efficiency gains afforded in attempting to transfer PBM-like strategies to Medicare.

Love Happens (2009)
Pure Hollywood hokum, with plotting that's practically impossible...graceless product placement, cutesy situations, and neatly tied bows.
Hero (2004)
A balance of colorful visual and aural poetry, elegant plot structure, and battles marked by a swift graphic intensity and epic scope.
Star Trek: The Original Series - Season 2 (1967)
A phenomenon the likes of which television has seen no equal...
The Girl Next Door (2004)
A seriously guilty pleasure aimed squarely at teen boys and sexual Peter Pans.
High Crimes (2002)
Despite my aversion to derivative, lazy, and improbable thrillers, I'd be lying if I said
High Crimes
had no pulp entertainment value.
Whiteout (2009)
At least 10% more exciting than correction fluid.
9 (2009)
One senses Acker stretching his eleven-minute short rather than containing bigger ideas and characters who have taken on lives of their own:
too clearly puts style over substance.
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation - The Ninth Season (2009)
Mind-bogglingly well-produced, each hour the equivalent of a mini-movie.
Supernatural: The Complete Fourth Season (2009)
Say what you will about the highly entertaining
, but you cannot deny it traffics in the highest stakes on television.
The Office: Season Five (2009)
The Office
has the funniest ensemble of any sitcom on the air...
Lie to Me: Season One (2009)
In casting the great Tim Roth as psychologist Dr. Cal Lightman,
Lie to Me
won the added value of a weekly master class in acting.
Heroes: Season 3 (2009)
still has some way to go in restoring the cohesion of its initial run, but Fuller has helped the show to prove it's capable of hitting a stride and mining fresh stories that deepen the mythology...
Taking Woodstock (2009)
On balance...like Teichberg—takes after its immigrant American father, evincing a quiet humility in offering its rambling 'little perspective' of an emblematic happening that was almost everything it was cracked up to be.
It Might Get Loud (2009)
[A] sideways glance at the electric guitar by way of profiling three generations of guitarists: Jack White of The White Stripes, the Edge of U2, and Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin.
World's Greatest Dad (2009)
An amusing, cynical black comedy about our national addiction to tragedy, and our commoditization of grief...
Fighting (2009)
Montiel and his collaborators can pat themselves on the back for elevating empty material just a bit, but this is disposable cinema, designed to hit and run after an opening weekend.
Sugar (2009)
showcases a lovely performance by Soto, a match for the modest, low-key filmmaking style of Boden and Fleck...
Duplicity (2009)
The film's greatest pleasure is in the snappy dialogue Gilroy crafts for the capable duo of Roberts and Owen...
Sons of Anarchy: Season One (2008)
Despite having something of the flavor of TV's most testosterone-laden shows,
Sons of Anarchy
is its own distinctive beast and another worthy entry in the stakes of addictive serialized TV.
State of Play (2009)
Macdonald shifts the emphasis to highlight a moment when declining readership and corporate bottom lines threaten the tradition of print journalism.
Inglourious Basterds (2009)
A whole lot of movie, but it's also technically mature filmmaking to a thematically juvenile end.
Lorna's Silence (2009)
The Dardenne brothers have seemed infallible, but their signature style begins to show strain in
Lorna's Silence
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003)
A modest but bubbly comedy of manners.
Sunshine Cleaning (2009)
The sort of movie you root for, hoping it'll break through to be something special. It never quite does, but it still has the not-insignificant value of two fine actresses cast as sisters.
Smallville: The Complete Eighth Season (2009)
has morphed into something awfully close to
The New Adventures of Lois and Clark
, it continues to be an entertaining and occasionally poignant pastime for
Adventureland (2009)
The heart of
lies in the emotional microcosm of the amusement park, a place that delivers its share of laughs and lust but turns out to be not all fun and games.
Dexter: The Third Season (2009)
More diabolical than ever.
Cutthroat Island (1995)
Hey, are you looking for an exciting movie about pirates of the, well, um, Caribbean?
The Ninth Gate (1999)
Sorely underrated...wisely counter-cultural to Hollywood's idea of what a supernatural thriller should be.
Adam (2009)
An admirable dramatic investigation into life with Asperger's and a story with the intelligence not to insult ours.
Playtime (1967)
Utterly unconventional and strikingly unique; it begs not to be watched in the same manner as a conventional narrative film. Like a great painting, it is meant to be savored, pored over, observed from different angles and revisited in time.
Hannah Montana: The Movie (2009)
The way this movie ends is so wrong that it doesn't deserve a pass as frothy entertainment. Why? Because it's actively sending a bad message to kids.
The Last Starfighter (1984)
Charmingly hokey...takes the suburban-working-class-folks-meet-space-aliens paradigm of early Spielberg and marries it to Lucas'
Star Wars
The Last House on the Left (2009)
Those viewers trapped in the film's nihilism and hoping for more can amuse themselves by looking at the film as an Aristotelian tragedy—take that,
Friday the 13th
17 Again (2009)
It's a strange movie indeed that is all about a 37-year-old heterosexual male and yet isn't likely to appeal to any 37-year-old heterosexual males.
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009)
Very nearly everything that's wrong with Hollywood, but darn if it won't give an action-hungry audience its money's worth. It's ridiculous, it's stoopid, and it puts its planes in the air like it just don't care.
The Cove (2009)
Informative, exciting, and surprisingly emotional...its goal is to alert the world to the abuse and consumption of dolphins.
Julie & Julia (2009)
Together the film's parallel stories do make slightly more than the sum of their ingredients, cooking up undemanding summer fun.
Kagemusha (1980)
A fine example of the Kurosawa style...precision of narrative in both scripting and imagistic storytelling...
The Class (Entre les murs) (2008)
A great achievement in cinematic realism...when conflict arises, and it frequently does, the filmmakers refuse to instruct us on who's right and who's wrong, making the film its own kind of Socratic lecture.

2. What to do about junk mail
The official recommendation from the JANET authorities is simply to delete the message. We very strongly advise you not to respond in any way, particularly to the more "undesirable" mail. A silence may discourage the sender; any response, assuming it gets through, is liable to elicit even more unwanted correspondence. Some senders will try to goad you into replying ("you are on a list of people interested in this topic"). A reply will promote you from just one of thousands of addresses, many of which are not valid, to a real person who reads their email, on whom they can concentrate their attentions. It is widely believed that many of the 'Unsubscribe' links given in spam messages are also used to collect live email addresses, although some, of course, will be genuine.
If you receive junk or offensive email, it is important to be aware that the apparent sender whose name may appear in the "From:" line could easily be a forgery, either put there deliberately to fool you, or as the result of certain types of viruses which can use someone's email address book to send out virus infected messages. Finding out the real source of an email involves looking through the message's full headers list which charts its route around the internet.
If you think the sender is from Oxford University, or could be mistaken as such by other users, then please send a copy including all the mail header information to firstname.lastname@example.com. See our documentation on phishing for more information.
If you are really worried about breaking the chain of a chain mail letter, send it to firstname.lastname@example.com (but it would be preferable just to delete it.)
You can use the Nexus account settings to reduce the amount of spam you receive in your inbox. All email received at Oxford is scanned for viruses and junk mail. The system relies on the number of stars a message receives. Where the message is known to be spam, it is given a high number of stars, where it is know not to be spam, e.g. internal Oxford addresses, it is given a low star score. You can set up a filter, which removes email with stars above a chosen value to your junk message folder. Most email clients will also have a feature for filtering messages.

How deranged
Here's a work that I have to give you props for, because this was quite amazing. The preview image made it look like it was going to be about Sonic. Seriously, how many dogs have blue fur? I loved this because it consistently kept up a large degree of insanity, especially with how it kept going on. I would have thought at first it would have ended with the police firing at him. You even went the extra mile and did the dog butt rape thing again!
The animation is awesome in this and reminds me of the stuff by Bob Clampett and Tex Avery. Granted, they wouldn't be as deranged as you. It's especially great to see how these characters just move around. They truly let their body parts tell the emotions. You just have no idea what's going to happen next and I guess that since I don't have a job, I'm glad the boss got shot.

Owned and bred by Mesa Valley Farms LLC, Fols Jesse scored his second stakes victory at Los Alamitos Race Course following a dominating performance in the $25,000 Cypress Handicap for 4-year-olds on Sunday night.
Trained by Mark Skeen and ridden by Joel Cruz, Fols Jesse is actually three for four at Los Alamitos, as he also won an allowance race here prior to stakes wins in the Kip Didericksen Handicap and this Cypress victory. He finished third in the Sgt Pepper Feature Handicap in his only other Los Alamitos start.
"He's been fantastic here," said owner Bob Feilner of Mesa Valley Farms. "He's been very consistent here and his time tonight was right along with all of his other races here. He ran (350 yards) in :17.50, which is what he's been doing here in his other races."
After winning the Kip Didericksen, Fols Jesse traveled to Prairie Meadows in Iowa to compete in the $200,000 Adequan Derby Challenge. The son of Jess James Jr finished fifth to Ultimate Wave in that race, but Feilner thought it was a better than looked effort from his gelding.
"Other than the winner, we were right there in that race," he said. "He got beat less than a head for second place. Maybe he didn't like the cold weather, but he still ran a pretty good race. He broke pretty good in this race. I don't think the jockey really had to use the whip in this race. He's the kind of horse that you like to own and we are fortunate to have him in our barn."
Feilner is excited about his stable of runners for 2013. While his allowance winning aged mare Sheza Hot Catch will be going to the breeding shed, Fols Jesse will continue his racing career alongside a 3-year-old runner and four 2-year-old prospects. In past years, Mesa Valley Farms have also campaigned Catchinon, who won the California Derby Challenge at Los Alamitos in 2008. He would go on to finish second in the Grade 1 $200,000 Derby Challenge to Gallant Ways at Evangeline Downs.
"My dad was the horseman and he's the one that got our family going in the business," said Feilner, who spends time between Utah and Arizona. "We were spoiled early on when we first started in the business in the 1980s because our first horse qualified to the Colorado State Futurity, which at the time had a $250,000 purse. That horse is actually in Fols Jesse's pedigree on the mother's side three generations back. Right away that kept us interested in the horses."
Fols Jesse earned $13,750 for the win to take his career earnings to $60,925. He also improved his record to five wins in 12 starts. Fols Jesse was very impressive in victory, but he also benefited from enjoying a clean trip in a race that featured a double disqualification. Wayne Barton's Lotta Love For Robyn was moved up from third to second place following the disqualification of Rush Of Fire from second to seventh due to interference during the running of the Cypress Handicap. Lotta Love For Robyn earned $5,625 for the second place finish. Attack The Cartel was also disqualified for interference, going from fourth to eighth. Dr. Steve Burns' Pony Drive was moved up from fifth to third. The official order of finish is as follows: Fols Jesse, Lotta Love For Robyn, Pony Drive, Hit It Big, Consider, Steller, Rush Of Fire and Attack The Cartel.

"These labels are simple and elegant, and with my daughter and her fiance living together it made address labels easy because you don't have to have a last name on them"
"I fell in love with this design and color scheme. Getting married this summer, our names on the label will be a lovely gift to my groom."
"Who doesn't like their own name in print? I can't believe I even thought twice about ordering these. They dressed up the envelope so nicely and made getting the invites out so much faster!"
"Wedding Paper Divas is awesome, good products, reasonable prices and fast delivery. We ordered a ton of these for our wedding and loved the color and design - looked exactly like the picture and the quality was great! They shipped within a day of ordering and received a few days later. I would definitely reccomend."
"I ordered return address labels for my wedding invitations. The process was quick and the labels looked exactly how described. I am so happy with how they turned out."
