Does living in harmony with nature make you grow as a person?
When I lived in UK I met many creative people interested in self improvement, spirituality and natural living. They were people from the cities, either London or cities abroad.
When I moved to India, I witnessed some breath-taking locations untouched by the Westernization bug. However in those locations people were all about blindly following religion and culture, without much independent thought.
Even to this day I wonder why generally people who are most in touch with nature are least interested in spiritual and mental growth.

Aug 3 2013: Hmmm, an interesting observation about how those closer to nature are less spiritual. The fact is, those living in cities feel the distance between their lives and one of deeper spirituality more deeply because of the modern lifestyle which can be very unhealthy. So, they seek a better way, a deeper understanding. Those living a life of poverty or a life which does not allow time for the asking of questions about life because they need to eat often dream of being rich and not having to work. Those living in very traditional communities are brought up in such a way and don't ask questions either, afterall everyone says its true. India is still very poor and the traditionally brought up people in the country dream of having a better life of leisure or comfort, not having to worry how they will eat or survive. So, their concern is say a business to make more money not a need to philosophise or ask deep questions. Indeed, their parents say to them, go to school and study, go to university and become a doctor, engineer, businessman, dentist, basically anything which makes money but nothing that the child actually is passionate about (other than the aforementioned). The fact that china and india don't have a social system, ie no pensions means the parents need their children to make enough money so they can take care of them when they get old. Now, lets look at those native peoples who actually do live close to nature, e.g. the African bushmen or Australian aborigines. Most no longer live this way but even those who do must first find a way to survive, so even these people become pragmatic about nature, I can build a hut or shelter if I cut down this tree etc. So, even here there are few people who seek deeper answers, these people who do are driven by it, e.g. medicine men or priestesses etc. Nonetheless, these people also know how to live in closer harmony because nature is in their face every day, you cannot escape it.
Aug 3 2013: Completely agree with you, Frank. It was my own experience that once there's no need to think about the survival and you live in comfort, that's when the real spiritual growth can take place (unless you listen to you ego).
However my spiritual growth started when I was in a situation I wanted to escape (working for someone else) and having a horrible relationship. I think this growth started at that point because I had faith in the spiritual side of life.
For a long time I was in contact with people of lower castes of India, even the lowest. It's interesting to note that usually these people always have food (they know wonderful ways to make money), however the STANDARD of life is very low. So their survival needs are covered.
When you see beggars in the streets of India, know that they are not alone. They are behind the organisation. They give their earnings to the "boss" and they receive food, shelter and protection for that. So it's a business really.
What I'm getting at is that usually their survival needs are covered. Such people have plenty of time to grow spiritually and mentally, but what they do most of the time is talk about mundane things, gossip, play games and so on.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
Library looks very cool but is not working with VS 2012 beta.
Design time support finally works when restarting VS.
But at run time: Resources are always taken from default culture and ignoring Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture. When setting content from code behind it works without problems. So there might be a problem with your library?
Tested with 2.0.0 and 2.1.0 beta nuget packages.
Best regards from sunny Bremen
Hi Björn,
I've tested design time and runtime in my Win8/VS2012 RC (Release preview) sandbox and it worked. Did you experience this behaviour only once or repeatedly?
The other question is rather philosophical - we decided not to set the culture on our own due to several reasons. We recommend binding the culture to your viewmodel and handling an unset culture there.
Best regards from boiling hot Jena,
Hi Uwe,
perhaps I misunderstood the concept. Evertything works fine when setting
to the supposed culture.
Best regards
I was just testing WPFLocalizeExtension with the official release of Visual Studio 2012, and changing localization at design time does not appear to work. Changing localization during run time is just fine though.
Any thoughts, or has anyone else had issues with design time?
Up to now, I do not have the VS2012 release here.
I can confirm it not working in VS2012.
It doesn't show up in the Designer until you completely restart VS. Changing the DesignCulture doesn't seem to work at all.
I have no clue how I could help debugging that. Maybe you can point me to the right direction, MrCircuit? :-)
I'll switch to VS2012 soon and then I'll have a look at it.
Sorry for the delay.
I tried it again today... after restarting VS, it works O.ô
As it seems, the .resx files don't get reloaded after editing and/or building them, so adding strings or editing them has no effect until I close and re-open the solution or restart VS.
Also, when I edit the XAML and modify the key of a working Loc extension, the new string only shows up after changing the DesignCulture or re-opening the XAML.
I haven't tested it thoroughly, so there might be more problems or maybe I misinterpreted some observations. I hope you can find the problems and fix them. I could try and debug the extension's code, but I currently have no idea how to debug the code
while it's run by the designer. Any help with that?
In general, the project that contains the resx files has to be rebuilt after changing the files. The second issue may be a problem with the internal PropertyChanged notification of the LocExtension - I'll see if I can reproduce this in my current version
of VS.
Debugging during design time is only possible using Logging (e.g. writing to a text file or engines like NLog) or step-by-step exception-throwing supplying the state information to the exception message :-).
Best regards,

Hi Uwe, thats not completly true. In VS2010 it was possible to start a second instance of VS2010 and attach to the process of the first VS2010 while debugging. The second instance got the wpf localize extension source open with breakpoints enabled.
Its a crazy setup but was working fine. Please have a look if this is still true for VS2012.
Best regards
Here comes an update:
I've digged into the key change issue that occurs in all versions of VS. Up to now, I found the following facts:
* If the key is supplied using the constructor syntax (e.g. "{lex:Loc SomeKey}"), no update of the property is fired internally or in other words, the object is not created again. This needs the particular XAML to be reloaded (close and open again, rebuild
* If the key is supplied via the Key property (e.g. "{lex:Loc Key=SomeKey}"), an update is propagated to the internal property but it does not trigger an update of the value, although it *should*. Again, a reload of the XAML makes the changes to take effect.
* When changing a key, that is supplied using one of the previous two ways, and *then* changing the design culture, the value is updated correctly. I'll try to find out more on this.
tried both way with Key no no key and it will not flip language at design time

Lucky came over today and we decided to keep it simple and head for the roof. I threw on my favorite obnoxiously orange sun dress and a feathery headband that I want to keep for myself oh so desperately! When we walked outside, the clouds were dreamily painted across the sky and the wind was blowing gently. It was like the universe was doing us a favor and illustrating the perfect background for our creative ventures. Thank you life :-) I like it here on this magical earth :-)- Sylva

Perfect day for the Tough Mudder - the sun was out, temps were cool, and there was little to no wind. Team Semper Mudelis completed the 12 mile course in 4 hours. It was definitely an endurance and mental challenge, speed at most points was not an option. The course started with a dry, flat, 1 mile run and that was the last of dry and flat! The first obstacle was an ice water jump requiring a swim under a wall. Then it was mud, mud, and more mud. I thought the most injury prone part of the race was a 2 mile trail run which include ditches, mud traps, and so many tree roots. The water obstacles were a double edge sword one part energizing the other part petrifying. The height obstacles, well lets just say I fixed my eyes on my hands, so that I wouldn't know how high up I was. Started as a team, ended as a team. I'm banged and bruised up, and can barely climb a set a steps, but would I do this again? ABSOLUTELY!

This was definitely the happiest 5K on the planet, but just like Philly definitely a jog/walk/bring the kids event. My daughter Kaitlyn (15), Jessica (15) and I arrived at 6:45 am and the place was hopping. The event started right at 8 and the heats of 500 or so took off every 5 minutes. We got into the 4th heat but had to slow to a jog before the first kilometer. Finished by 9 and the girls headed straight to the mosh/dance fest. They had an absolute blast and wore their color with honor at the PPB Bubba Koos Burrito - totally worth the early morning rise. Next year, they plan on wearing Tutu's and Tiaras!

Blog Post provided by Jason Fitzgerald of StrengthRunning.com
One of the main reasons that running is so appealing to millions of runners is that it's simple. All you need is a good pair of running shoes (and sometimes that's not even necessary!) and you can get a great workout anytime, anywhere.
You don't need any fancy equipment, a track, or any technology: just you, your running shoes, and the road. Now that's minimalist running! (though, even tech like heart rate monitors can be useful)
But these days (I'll try to refrain from complaining like an old man), the running landscape is changing. Runners are buying more gear that aims to make them faster, healthier, and stronger. True minimalist running,…Continue

The Tri-State Rugged Maniac Mud Run took place this past Saturday, July 14th, at Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ. The length of the run is a 5k (3.2 miles), and it is littered with obstacles and MUD! The weather for the event was mostly cloudy and very humid. The clouds certainly helped with the heat, and the mud and water raining down on the participants throughout the course helped with the humidity.
Upon first arrival at the event, there are plenty of runners sporting costumes (one guy wore a complete dog costume) and finishers sporting plenty of mud. Right away, one can tell this was going to be a great event! The check-in tents had decent sized lines, but simply because of the event's…Continue

I've never liked rides that require me to take my feet off the ground. An unrealistic fear of falling or of the ride falling or of everything falling. Roller coasters ridden with eyes closed and tilt-a-whirls bypassed and gravitrons at which I won't look twice.
Several times, since Avery was born, Holly and I have taken him–and then them, once Aurora was born–to fairgrounds. And I've had to overcome my irrational–of course I know my fear is irrational–fears, especially when Avery wants my company. Slides that begin 100 feet up, and roller coasters in the shapes of dragons, and other rides that I'd never choose to ride, if given a choice.
But you can't close eyes when you're holding a four-year-old and making sure he isn't scared. Or that he doesn't fall out. Or that he isn't crying. Or that he isn't on his way to getting dizzy or even sick. You scream and make the noises you make when you're on a ride.
And I thought, yesterday, at a fair in a nearby town, that going on rides that I don't want to ride is being a parent. No one says that you'll have to go on rides you don't want to go on, but you do, once you're a parent. And no one says that you have to pretend to be brave, or that you have to occasionally be OK taking your feet off the ground.

Just how many subplots swirled about in tonight's season premiere? I think I lost count at 32.
While it's always good to meet new characters (like Vampire Authority rep Nora, who gives off a distinct Rachel Weisz vibe) and see others get extended time (always good to see Pam!), the Bon Temps community is getting a bit crowded -- and a bit hard to follow.
You're not sure what you're supposed to care about most: Sookie, who used to be the main character and is now often shifted to the background? Eric and Bill, who apparently have now become best friends (bonded either by Sookie rejected them both or by working together to kill Nan?) Lafayette and his many hairstyles?
Still, "Turn! Turn! Turn!" (the episode title should give you an immediate clue about Tara's fate) did a pretty decent job at answering some lingering Season 4 questions -- and set us up for a Season 5 battle from what appears to be many enemies.
Let's start with Sookie. The episode picks off right where we left off at Season 4 -- and I mean right off (no fast-forwarding a year thanks to a Sookie trip to Fairyland). We even see some of the action from the season finale, with Debbie Pelt being shot by Sookie and Tara running in front of her best friend to deflect Debbie's shot.
Sookie's on the floor cradling her best friend, who looks damn near dead. Lafayette, who, it must be noted, recently murdered his boyfriend Jesus when his body was taken over by witch Marnie (you got that?), is overcome with grief.
Suddenly, Pam appears, desperately looking for Eric. She notices the carnage and says, "Color me impressed. You guys know how to party." Aw Pam, I've missed you and your sassy one-liners.
Lafayette and Sookie urge Pam to turn Tara into a vampire to save her life ("Turn her? I don't even like her," Pam deadpans).
"You'll have to try. I'll owe you one," Sookie says. Somehow this deal works, though I'm not sure what exactly Sookie will have to do for Pam in the future? Help get Pam back in Eric's good graces? Buy her a new leather outfit? Surely this will come back to bite Sookie at some point this season.
Pam rips open her wrist and starts to feed Tara. Later, it's time for Tara vampire making, and a big hole is dug in Sookie's backyard to bury Tara and her would-be maker, Pam.
Pam has changed into an ugly yellow sweater and sweatpants for the occasion (clearly Pam won't get her usually stylish duds dirty for Tara).
"Aren't you supposed to be holding her or something?" Sookie asks to a reluctant Pam.
"I am wearing a Walmart sweatsuit for y'all," Pam says. "If that's not a demonstration of team spirit, I don't know what is."
Point taken, Pam.
After burial, Sookie cleans up the Debbie Pelt mess in the kitchen. Alcide comes by to check in on Sookie/casually mention that Russell Edgington is back from his cement crypt. You know, just an average Bon Temps Tuesday. He urges Sookie to hide out from Russell at his house, but Sookie says she can't and if Alcide knew why she can't he'd understand (oh, all Sookie did was kill Alcide's ex Debbie).
Then it's time for more death clean-up. Sookie drives Lafayette to his house to tend to the dead Jesus. Jesus, last seen in a chair, is not at the house and Lafayette sort of has a breakdown about the whole thing.
To be fair, if your boyfriend is a practicing Wicca who once took you to Mexico to meet his grandfather who summoned the Santeria-esque powers of his ancestors, you shouldn't be too shocked when his dead body vanishes.
Meanwhile, back at Sookie's place, both she and Lafayette bathe (separately) and while Sookie remembers childhood memories of Tara, all Lafayette can concentrate on is the pink razor sitting before him. He doesn't do anything about it, but it's not too shocking suicide is on his mind. However, it's tough to see someone as strong-willed as Lafayette being so distraught.
Later, they wait, after dark, for Tara and Pam to hopefully emerge with a welcome bottle of Tru Blood. Sookie sees a hand raise up, but it's Pam, who complains about the dirt in her bra.
"Did it work?! Tara, wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" Sookie says digging down by her head. She finally reaches Tara's face, which looks very, very dead.

The UCLA - NUS Global Executive MBA for Asia Pacific program ranked third in The Economist's 2013 inaugural ranking of executive MBA programs globally, building upon its No. 5 ranking by The Financial Times in its 2013 ranking of the best executive MBA programs in the world. The program, in partnership with the National University of Singapore Business School has approximately 90 students over two cohorts. In May, Senior Associate Dean Carla Hayn welcomed the program's tenth intake in Singapore. This class is comprised of 44 senior executives representing 19 nationalities, with an average age of 39 and average years work experience of 13.5 years. More than two thirds of the class were born outside the United States. In addition to Asia and the United States, students also are based in Australia, Europe, the Middle East and South America.
Conducted over 15 months, this one-of-a-kind concentrated dual degree program structure allows busy executives the flexibility to work while attending intensive residential teaching modules in leading epicenters of the Pacific Rim - Los Angeles, Singapore, Shanghai, and Bangalore and New Delhi. Participants become immersed in Asian and North American perspectives and in a range of cultures with a diverse group of exceptional peers broadening their global perspective and mindset.
Upon completion of the program, participants are awarded two globally recognized MBA degrees - one from UCLA Anderson and one from NUS Business School, equipping them with essential skills and knowledge required to lead organizations successfully in a global economy.

The Sm and Sm-like (Lsm) proteins are a highly conserved family of ancient origin, found in bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes. These proteins were first characterized in humans with systemic lupus erythemathosus, where autoantibodies were found that recognize an antigen called Sm. The Sm antigen was characterized as a domain present in a group of eight small proteins (alternatively spliced products B and B', as well as D1, D2, D3, E, F, and G) that associated with four of the five snRNAs (U1, U2, U4, and U5, but not U6) involved in splicing of nuclear pre-mRNAs (6). The S. cerevisiae genome contains 16 proteins containing an Sm, or Sm-like, domain. Seven genes encode proteins corresponding to the human Sm antigen proteins: SMB1 (Sm B), SMD1 (Sm D1), SMD2 (Sm D2), SMD3 (Sm D3), SME1 (Sm E), SMX3 (Sm F), and SMX2 (Sm G). An additional eight genes, LSM1, LSM2, LSM3, LSM4, LSM5, LSM6, LSM7, and LSM8 also encode proteins containing Sm domains and are thus named LSM (Like SM) proteins. These proteins are more closely related to individual Sm proteins than to each other. MAK31 has also been reported to contain an Sm domain (6).
Crystal structures of human Sm proteins, in pairs or with U1 snRNA, indicate that the seven core Sm proteins form a heteroheptameric ring with a small central hole (7, 8, 9). The Sm site, the conserved uridine rich sequence found near the 3-prime ends of the U1, U2, U4, and U5 snRNAs, appears to form contacts along the inner surface of the ring complex and it is suggested that the RNA may pass through the hole (7, 8, 9). Experiments in S. cerevisiae indicate that a similar seven-membered ring containing one copy of each of the seven Sm proteins exists in yeast (10). Similarly to the Sm proteins, the Lsm proteins also form heteroheptameric rings. In S. cerevisiae, as well as in other eukaryotes, two different Lsm ring complexes exist, containing Lsm2p-7p and either Lsm1p or Lsm8p (4).
The Lsm proteins are found in two distinct heteroheptameric complexes. Each complex contains Lsm2p, Lsm3p, Lsm4p, Lsm5p, Lsm6p, Lsm7p, and a seventh protein, either Lsm1p or Lsm8p (11). By analogy with the Sm proteins, it is thought that the Lsm proteins also form a seven-membered ring structure (12).
The complex containing Lsm8p localizes to the nucleus (4), associates with multiple snRNP complexes containing the U6 snRNA (U4/U6 snRNP, U4/U6.U5 snRNP, and free U6 snRNP) and by binding directly to the U6 snRNA, plays a role in the biogenesis and stability of the U6 snRNP and U4/U6 snRNP complexes and thus in splicing of nuclear mRNAs (1, 6, 11, 4, 12). The Lsm2-8 proteins bind specifically to the 3'-terminal U-tract of the U6 snRNA and facilitate the binding of the splicing factor Prp24p (12, 13). It is also thought that the Lsm2-8 complex plays a role in the degradation of nuclear RNA substrates by targeting them for decapping (3).
The complex containing Lsm1-7p is cytoplasmic and mutations in LSM1-7 all cause defects in mRNA degradation (2). Lsm1-7p are found in association with the Pat1p decapping enzyme and Xrn1p exoribonucleases; thus the Lsm1-7 complex is thought to be involved in mRNA degradation via the decapping step (11, 4, 14).
There may be yet another Lsm complex, containing at least six members (Lsm2-7p), as these six proteins, but not Lsm1p or Lsm8p, have been found in association with the pre-RNase P RNA (4, 6) and with the box H/ACA snoRNA snR5 (15).
Because it has been observed that cells depleted of any of the essential Lsm proteins (Lsm2-5p or Lsm8p), are defective in processing of tRNA (16), rRNA (17), and snoRNA (18), it has been suggested that the Lsm proteins may have the additional role of directly processing these classes of RNAs. However, it has also been observed that these phenotypes are alleviated by overexpression of the U6 snRNA, so it may be that these other RNA processing defects are downstream effects of lowering U6 levels and thus inhibiting splicing (15).

Getting the Most from Your Health Plan
Most health care plans offer you resources, tools and even retail discounts. For example, some plans offer perks to help members save time and money, lose weight, quit smoking and even get discounts at retail stores. Here you'll find some helpful tips for making any health plan work for you.
Making the Most of Your Medical Benefits
It's the primary reason you chose to get health insurance—the medical care benefits. If you want to get the most from these benefits, here are a few simple things you can do.
- Stay in the network. Most health plans have negotiated discounts with doctors, hospitals and other health care professionals in their network. That usually translates into lower out-of-pocket costs to you. Contact your insurance company to find a doctor nearby in your network.
- Use the ER for emergencies only. Real emergencies warrant a trip to the closest Emergency Room. However, you can usually save money on your copayment by saving colds, minor sprains and other less serious conditions for a doctor's office visit.
- Follow your doctor's orders. Be sure to take any medications, treatments or therapies your doctor has recommended. That way you can get back to health quickly and avoid additional copayments or costs.
- Double-check your coverage. Make sure services or treatments are covered before you schedule your next visit. Knowing this ahead of time can reduce your stress level.
- Stay Healthy. It makes sense that healthier people pay less in health insurance costs. Do your best to eat right, exercise and get regular health screenings. Encourage all family members to live a healthy lifestyle too.
- Conduct an "annual check-up" of your health plan. Make sure the plan you have still meets your needs. This is especially important if you have experienced any significant life-changing events in the past year, including the birth of a child, removal of an adult child from your health care policy, marriage or divorce.
Use Your Member Perks
Most health insurance plans offer valuable tools and conveniences to their members. To get the most out your plan, take full advantage of these member perks.
- Get online. Leading health insurers typically offer online account management where members can check the status of claims, view benefits information, find a doctor and much more.
- Take advantage of programs. If your plan has free health screenings or wellness programs, use them to improve your health. For example, some plans offer smoking cessation and weight loss programs free to members.
- Learn how to be healthy. Sign on for member newsletters or read online articles or health and fitness tips. Whether online or printed, you'll find valuable information to help keep you and your family healthy.
- Get retail discounts. Look into special member retail discounts.
Take Advantage of Blue Access for MembersSM
If you're already a Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois member, you can access Blue Access for Members. It's the best way to get the most from your plan. When you register for Blue Access for Members, you can:
- Manage your account online
- Check the status of claims and set-up email alerts
- Order a new ID card and print a temporary card
- Begin a free program to help you lose weight or stop smoking
- Search and compare doctors, hospitals and dentists in your area
If you're already a member, register for Blue Access for Members .

The scariest word in college football has been pinned to the Georgia Bulldogs. That word: Shreveport.
To play in the Independence Bowl is the worst of all fates, worse even than playing in no bowl at all. Because a team has to pretend to be excited about a trip to Shreveport, whereas a bowl-less team can just slink off under cover of winter. And now we turn to ESPN's bowl projections and we see Bruce Feldman's chilling forecast:
AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl: Georgia vs. Missouri. Yikes.
(Then again, Georgia could wear its black helmets, which would make things confusing. Because Missouri also wears black helmets.)
(Oh, and for those among us who have never heard of AdvoCare — I hadn't — here's its Web site.)
Serving as the Shana Alexander to Feldman's James Kilpatrick, esteemed former colleague Mark Schlabach sees the Bulldogs as bound for Nashville and the Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl against Florida State. And that would beat the heck out of Shreveport. But I must also report that EFC Schlabach and I once covered Georgia in the MCB, and it was a mighty bleak tableau itself.
It was cold and rainy. The stadium wasn't nearly full. And Georgia lost to Boston College despite being the more talented team. That was in Mark Richt's first season, when it was clear he was just getting started. But to wind up back there in Year 9 would be just another reminder that this proud program has lost its way.
For its part, CBSsports.com has Georgia ticketed for Memphis to play Houston in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. And that's a bad one, too: It comes after New Year's Day and isn't a BCS game, which means nobody will watch the thing. But at least Memphis offers Graceland and the Sun Recording Studio and the Stax Museum of American Soul Museum as places to visit. Shreveport has none of the above.
Then again, there's no guarantee Georgia is going anywhere. It still has to win two more games. It should, given that it still has Tennessee Tech and Kentucky on the docket. And I, being a Kentucky alum, have never yet seen a Kentucky-Georgia game I figured Georgia wouldn't win. (Not even in 1977, when the Cats beat the Dogs 33-0 at Sanford Stadium before James Brown and Prince Charles.)
But here, just to show I'm not such a Gloomy Gus, is the annual pick-me-up. Rivals.com rates Georgia as having compiled the eighth-best recruiting class in the land.

Beggars can't be choosers, and all that. I'd actually like to see a Georgia-Mizzou game; that could be fun to watch.
November 3rd, 2009
11:22 pm
I know darn good & well that if GA wins 6 games, they will accept a Bowl bid. wouldn't it be nice to say"Thanks, but no thanks." The only possible reason to go to a Bowl, is to beat Tech. That doesn't seem likely.
November 3rd, 2009
11:26 pm
houston in the liberty bowl?
not the worst case scenario. imagine that offense against our defense.
cherry on top of the sundae, final nail in the martinez era.
November 3rd, 2009
11:26 pm
Lets go to Memphis… the Tunica casinos are less than an hour away.
I was at that Music City Bowl way back when. The game sucked, but the laser tag place was excellent. And they sold beer at the Titans stadium. And the best hit of the game was in the stands. This loud mouth drunk was on everyone's nerves for three quarters, then fell over the back of his cair and cracked his head on the seat behind him so hard you could hear it four rows away.
Ah, memories…
November 3rd, 2009
11:32 pm
Wouldn't it be fun if UGA had to visit the NATS needing to win inorder to get to go to a bowl. That would be so fun. Nashville is a great town with lots of things to do and see. Was just there for the TECH Vandy game.
November 3rd, 2009
11:36 pm
Going to Nashville wouldn't be so bad….if it is following sending the Jackets to the ACC Title game with a loss. Oh yeah, been there and done that haven't we?
November 3rd, 2009
11:39 pm
BOB now that is wishful thinking isn't it. The Tech fans will be sure to send you some pictures from our Trips to the Beaches this winter.
November 3rd, 2009
11:43 pm
Considering how bad the year has been, I think either matchup would be a fun game to watch.
November 3rd, 2009
11:45 pm
Good nasty name. You can put them next to the 20 years of beaches we have had since you last made it to one. I didn't think they had any beaches in Boise, but heck you know everything else, I guess you know that too! There is only one common team so far, Vandy, we gave them 10 points, you gave them 39. You scored more than we did. Yes you scored 3 touchdowns in the 4th quarter, but we won't really count that. I think your first team was still in so you could do that ACC think of running up the score. I hope you get to go to Cal and play in the MNC game. But if you don't please send us those pictures.
November 3rd, 2009
11:46 pm
uhm, if UGA went into the GT game needing a win for a bowl game appearance, it would not be fun b/c that would mean the dawgs lost 2 out of 3 with TT, Auburn and Kentucky. I don't want them to lose any of them.
November 3rd, 2009
11:47 pm
Agree with Realist. Would really like the team to say NO and stay home. But guess the extra 3 weeks of practice is important.
November 3rd, 2009
11:47 pm
We win out and appear in the Outback Bowl.
November 3rd, 2009
11:49 pm
Hey Pi$$ please send us some pics, im sure yall have forgotten what its feels like.
November 3rd, 2009
11:54 pm
Hey, "Bob",
Since GT hired Paul Johnson, they're 1-0 against your beloved bulldogs (i refuse to spell it like you morons). You can bring up the past all that you want, but in the here and now, UGA will be lucky to go to a bowl game. UGA is just lucky that their crappy possible bowl games are in Shreveport, Nashville, etc. instead of Boise, Seattle, or somewhere else.
November 3rd, 2009
11:56 pm
I wonder if high school coaches will be at the Tech bowl game taking notes.
November 4th, 2009
12:05 am
Ah yes….the Music City Bowl vs Boston College, and CMR taking a page straight from "The Tommy West Guide to Late-Game Clock Management".
What memories.
November 4th, 2009
12:13 am
Anyway, it will be fun to watch Georgia and Tech's D's try to let each other hang 100 on them.
November 4th, 2009
12:20 am
Are you Debbie Downer's twin brother? Shreveport has gambling and bars that are open all night. It's a good time and a bowl's a bowl. Maybe you should bash Richt and his team for not playing well enough to get into the BCS championship game instead of bashing a great city that bends over backwards to be hospitable and friendly to its bowl guests.
November 4th, 2009
12:56 am
Georgia should have enough dignity to say that anything less than eight wins is not up to our standards and no two-bit crap bowl bid will be accepted at 7-5 or 6-6.
November 4th, 2009
2:00 am
hey/……shreveport has casinos too, about 5 miles from stadium…….nevermind half the team would be in jail…….
November 4th, 2009
2:23 am
Hahaha. Yellow Fuzz called it right back in August
November 4th, 2009
2:41 am
Good name, Locomotive Breath. I would add that we should only take a BCS bowl invitation at 7-5 or 6-6. We've got our pride. And our rep is second to none.
November 4th, 2009
3:45 am
We probably should be playing in the "toilet bow"with the way this season has gone down the drain. I think it will be the pizza bowl if we get to a bowl at all. If CMR don't fire Willie after the season … it will be a crime. If Evans/Adams don't get involved to make the changes CMR won't make, we'll see another year worse than this one. CMR needs a good dose of reality … UGA football is in BIG trouble. MAJOR CHANGES must be made. I say CMR will try to make minor adjustments and go with a pat hand next year (including Martinez). He will use the "we will lose some of our top recruits if we make a change" card. I'm tired of the thugs, the undisciplined law breaking dreadlocked, tatooed, street tough recruits Georgia seems to prize. Let's get some quality, intelligent, disciplined, higher class recruits. The Georgia football program has made me sick this year and CMR's attitude and lack of action has not been acceptable at all. Someone else has sat in my seat at Sanford Stadium this year and the Athletic Association did not receive my check for $5,000. They probably won't get it again until I see a change in the program. It's not a fair-weather friend thing …. it's total disgust with the program and most of the coachs. I really, really don't think CMR has it in him to make any major changes. It's going to be the same old same old next year. Wait and see ….. CMR will play a pat hand with Willie and BoBo.
November 4th, 2009
4:12 am
Wow… and to think the greedy presidents of certain schools wont have a playoff because of crap meaningless exhibitions "bowls" like THIS!
Would anyone care if the Rams and Raiders played some meaningless exhibition game while the NFL playoffs was going on? Hell No! Why? Because the NFL is a REAL sport!
Go GT and UGA, GT Hoops is going to DOMINATE this year!!
November 4th, 2009
5:10 am
Shreveport might not be a fun place to be, but it's where we DESERVE to be this year. That ought to send a message that even the coaching staff can't miss……..
November 4th, 2009
5:45 am
Going to that terrible bowl in Shreveport is an embarrassment! Georgia should turn down that bid if offered and demand a better bowl from the SEC office!!! Make the SEC lightweights like kentucky or south carolina go to these lower tier bowls.
November 4th, 2009
5:47 am
I wonder if UGA's Defensive Coordinator will start going to high school games to take notes on Tech's offense.
November 4th, 2009
5:59 am
Nobody "deserves anything" . You have to earn it!
Right now the Dogs have not earned anything but bad press, and thousands disgusted fans that want Scalp.
So many young – talented – athletic – thugs doing work release programs – maybe they should play in a prison bowl.
November 4th, 2009
6:01 am
The Dogs better blow out Tennessee Tech, and Kentucky or they will be playing with the TIDY Bowl.
November 4th, 2009
6:06 am
Are we sure the dogs can win six games? I'll be glad if we go to any bowl.
November 4th, 2009
6:09 am
Reading post on this blog is real entertainment. I didn't know we had a way to link so many idiots together… How come the Falcons and Braves blogs can have intelligent discussions but the Bulldogs and Tech blog are full or morons. Some of you should finally graduate high school after 40 years. It might make you feel better. Tech fans, why don't you stick to Tech blogs so you can be proud of something in your life! After all, 1 good year in a decade is something to be proud about!
November 4th, 2009
6:14 am
Destination…..the Thug Bowl.
November 4th, 2009
6:14 am
or…..the Losers Bowl.
November 4th, 2009
6:17 am
I still hope UGA loses the rest of its games. That seems to be the only way to put any heat on CMR. Unlike the Oklahoma State coach who said, "I am a man", I'm not sure CMR is man enough to make tough choices. Why should he care? Even if he gets fired in a year or two, he is set for the rest of his life with the payout UGA would have to make. He has no incentive — no motivation — he has lost the desire to win.
November 4th, 2009
6:24 am
We play like we belong in Shreveport. But I liked it when it was know as the poulon/weedeater bowl.
November 4th, 2009
6:25 am
it sounded like what it was Shreveport,La.
November 4th, 2009
6:26 am
I've got an idea – take all of the "college players on work release", divide them up, give them all "rubber" helmets, chainmail , and battle axes and have a Melee bowl.
I mean geeze – eye gouging, face spitting, and helmet to helmet contact, bad coaching would be OK and encouraged; and ya just know that someone would have a blade somewhere.
Let the season play out – right now the Dogs are already front runners for the Toilet bowl.
November 4th, 2009
6:27 am
Rivals.com says "we have the eighth-best recruiting class in the land"? Now where have I heard that before??
November 4th, 2009
6:29 am
any bowl except Liberty. Went there in 89 when we barely beat Ark. wet and cold and Memphis is podunk hole unless you are into plastic Elvis statues which are for sale everywhere
November 4th, 2009
6:34 am
When the truth stares you in the face – it is very hard not to accept it unless you are a Pollyanna!
November 4th, 2009
6:41 am
at this point….who cares
November 4th, 2009
6:42 am
Four tickets, four hotdogs, four cokes
November 4th, 2009
6:45 am
Any park – any day – the Pigeon bowl is coming the Dog's way.
November 4th, 2009
6:49 am
Get rid of half the bowl games. They such and nobody cares. What a let down.
November 4th, 2009
6:50 am
Regarding the bowls, Houston would score 100+ on the Dawgs. That match-up truly scares me.
Regarding the recruits, this season has become a painful reminder that great recruits are no guarantee of great things to come if they are not coached-up in college.
November 4th, 2009
6:51 am
Hey Big Time, are there any tickets available for this weekends game in Athens?
Bwaaaaahaaaaahaaaaaa! 4-4.
November 4th, 2009
6:56 am
The Humanitarian Bowl would be the worst. Unfortunately, we do not qualify.
November 4th, 2009
7:06 am
What would be fitting would be to MAKE the team and coaches go to Shreveport and play the game. I guarantee you they REALLY don't want to go. I mean, what sane person would? Prior to leaving tell all the coaches if they don't win, don't come back. Their stuff will be waiting for them on the curb outside Butts-Mehre. That's the way it works in the "REAL WORLD," right? No performance, no job. And, I DO mean ALL the coaches. Never happen, but would be fun to watch what happens during the game. Let's not forget that two years ago, the 'Dogs slapped around Hawaii in the S-Bowl only to fall to their current level of incompetence. This year isn't just about transitioning. If all the coaches are still in place next year, the results will be the same.
November 4th, 2009
7:13 am
Well, if Martinez and Bobo continue to hang around, UGA will be lucky to go even there. If that coach with the narrow-guage, small-bore, one-track, my-way-or-the-highway mindset doesn't "wake up" after the season and make the needed staff changes, apparent to everyone but himself, evidently, then which worthless bowl UGA manages to get to will be the least of his worries.
November 4th, 2009
7:13 am
What the truly sad thing is other than all the bowls mention above that let the country know that your program is just a mere cellar dweller. CMR will try to keep this staff entirely in tact after the season and push for some pay raises.
As Jim Donna once said at Georgia "We are going from the outhouse to the penthouse". CMR it is very clear were you are taking this program on a very fast pace . THE OUTHOUSE!!
CMR talks about being a man of character .Being a man of character is also not forgetting who pays your salary and how you should give your best .If you can't fulfill those requirements that you were asked to do when hired and agreed to do. YOU and you only have to make the needed changes to make it happen.We have paid you your millions .Now it is your turn to hold up your end of the agreement Mr. Mark "high character"Richt.

Dozens of people in pajamas and blankets struggled to stay warm Tuesday morning, as they watched the second fire within a month strike Henrico's Coventry Garden Apartments.
Christmas Day, a fire at 219 Newbridge Circle left 17 people homeless and burned a gaping hole through the roof of the two-story apartment building. Around the corner Tuesday morning, an early-morning fire at 200 Newbridge Circle sent families into below freezing temperatures, as flames climbed the exterior of the building.
"I just got my coat on and ran out," said resident Vicki Wood in an interview Tuesday. "And they put me in the rescue squad car because I was cold."
Henrico fire investigators suspect the latest fire started on the outside of the building, and spread to the second floor and attic when the vinyl siding ignited. Officials stressed at this point, they are not considering the two fires related. A cause for the Dec. 25 incident has not been determined.
Tuesday's fire affected two apartments, and left one person in each unit without a home. Henrico Fire Capt. Jim Mellon said neither apartment is a total loss, but crews had to make holes in some interior walls while they extinguished the flames.
About two dozen firefighters arrived at 6:15 a.m., and took control of the situation in fewer than 20 minutes. Family and friends streamed in and out of the damaged apartments when all clear was given, bringing boxes of clothes and items saved from the ashes.

Very tasty and fast. I grilled chicken breast to serve, sliced, on top, and grilled the asparagus as well. I cut the chicken into paillards for faster grilling. Like the prior reviewer suggested I cut back on the mustard and used only a teaspoon. That seemed like plenty. I'd rather taste the other spring flavors. Finished at the table with a bit of freshly ground pepper and sea salt, it was delicious. Taste before salting, some goat cheeses are saltier than others.Reply
tonyadusold 23 Apr, 2009
Good but TOO MUCH mustard. It over powered the entire dish and you couldn't taste the goat cheese or dill. Pine nuts were nice though.Reply

Rockefeller is not running for re-election to a sixth term in 2014. On January 11, 2013, he announced that he will retire from the Senate at the end of the term, in order to spend more time with his family.[1]
Prior to his election to the U.S. Senate, Rockefeller served as the Governor of West Virginia and the West Virginia House of Delegates.[2]
Based on analysis of multiple outside rankings, Rockefeller is an average Democratic member of Congress, meaning he will vote with the Democratic Party on the majority of bills.
Rockefeller was born in New York City in 1937. After graduating from Harvard University, Rockefeller joined a volunteer group whose work took him to West Virginia. After two years in the state, he became a member of the West Virginia House of Delegates.[3][4]

Key votes
113th Congress
The 113th Congress has had 55 out of 5,401 introduced bills enacted into law (1 percent) as of November 30, 2013. Comparatively, the 112th Congress had 1.14 percent of introduced bills enacted into law in the first session.[7] The Senate has confirmed 16,878 out of 19,009 executive nominations received thus far (88.8 percent). For more information pertaining to Rockefeller's voting record in the 113th Congress, please see the below sections.[8]
National security
John Brennan CIA nomination
Rockefeller voted for the confirmation of John Brennan as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. The nomination was confirmed by the Senate on March 7, 2013, with a vote of 63 - 34. Most Democrats supported the nomination, while Republicans were somewhat divided with roughly one-third supporting the nomination.[9]
No Budget, No Pay Act of 2013
Rockefeller voted for H.R.325 -- No Budget, No Pay Act of 2013. The bill passed the Senate on January 31, 2013, with a vote of 64 - 34. The purpose of the bill was to temporarily suspend the debt ceiling and withhold the pay of members of Congress until a budget could be passed. The vote largely followed party lines with Democrats overwhelmingly supporting it and many Republicans in opposition to the bill.[10]
Government shutdown
- See also: United States budget debate, 2013
During the shutdown in October 2013, the Senate rejected, down party lines, every House-originated bill that stripped the budget of funding for the Affordable Care Act. A deal was reached late on October 16, 2013, just hours before the debt ceiling deadline. The bill to reopen the government, H.R. 2775, lifted the $16.7 trillion debt limit and funded the government through January 15, 2014. Federal employees also received retroactive pay for the shutdown period. The only concession made by Senate Democrats was to require income verification for Obamacare subsidies.[11] The final vote on H.R. 2775 was 81-18, with all 18 votes against the bill from Republican members. Rockefeller voted with the Democratic Party for the bill.[12]
Mexico-U.S. border
Rockefeller voted against Senate Amendment 1197 -- Requires the Completion of the Fence Along the United States-Mexico Border. The amendment was rejected by the Senate on June 18, 2013, with a vote of 39 - 54. The purpose of the amendment was to require the completion of 350 miles of fence described in the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 before registered provisional immigrant status may be granted. It would also require 700 miles of fence be completed before the status of registered provisional immigrants may be changed to permanent resident status. The vote followed party lines.[13]
Social issues
Violence Against Women (2013)
Rockefeller voted for S.47 -- Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013. The bill was passed by the Senate on February 12, 2013, with a vote of 78 - 22. The purpose of the bill was to combat violence against women, from domestic violence to international trafficking in persons. All 22 dissenting votes were cast by Republicans.[14]
Previous congressional sessions
Fiscal cliff
Rockefeller voted for the fiscal cliff compromise bill, which made permanent most of the Bush tax cuts originally passed in 2001 and 2003, while also raising tax rates on the highest income levels. The bill was passed in the Senate by an 89 - 8 vote on January 1, 2013.[15]
On January 11, 2013, Rockefeller announced that he will not seek re-election to a sixth term in 2014, citing the extra time retirement will allow him to spend with his family.[1]
The FiscalTimes compiled a list of the seven most vulnerable Senate seats up for election in 2014. The seven included in the list were: Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Dakota, and West Virginia. Going into the 2014 election, all seven seats are held by Democrats.[16]
Rockefeller's announcement that he won't seek re-election opens up a seat in a recently strongly Republican presidential level state; however, West Virginia has remained relatively Democratic at the state level.[16]

You must earn 10,000 points to post other members' whiteboard
Good morning! pumped your crude oil prices.
I can see you are a meteorologist, I have a degree in Meteorology, but it never worked out. I did want to be a meteorologist. I ended up in a prentice program in electronics telecommunication and started by career from there.
Today is our mutual buddy Saskwatch's birthday; so it is PARTY TIME!!! Please leave a birthday message on his WB, eh. Thank you!!!
Saw some of your comments on a mutual buddy site..Lets be buddies
Congratulations on reaching 2,000,000 points! Outstanding job!
Thank you for posting a very interesting article "Rail trumps pipeline for oil companies" Here is the response that I input.The price of gas in Western Washington is 14 cents less per gallon compared to the USA now at 6 cents higher than one year ago. This is something that we have not enjoyed for a long time. I have also noticed an additional 1 cent drop since this morning.
Thanks for the info. In Canada they are rated at 47 mpg. I wonder why the big difference, maybe because our gallon is 4.54 litres and yours is 3.78.
Thanks for the info on the trucking article.

PULASKI, Wisc (WSAU-Wheeler News) A school board member in Pulaski has been ticketed for hosting an underage drinking party at her home. Police said they were called to the home of Christine Vandenhouten in Hobart early on Sunday May 12th. She, her teenage son, and nine other Pulaski High students were given citations. A
cting district administrator Bec Kane tells WLUK TV in Green Bay that some students who were not cited admitted to school officials that they were at the party. She said school athletes and club members who went have been penalized.
Kane also said the school district cannot impose its own discipline on Vandenhouten, since only the voters can decide the fate of school board members. She's in her first three-year term, which expires next spring. Vandenhouten has not commented.

Unix Research
ITS supports the UNIX research servers and the applications that are available on the servers.
Research Servers
There are currently 3 research servers:
Connecting to Research Servers - Secure Shell (SSH) Client
A Secure Shell (SSH) client is required to login to the Unix research servers. You can connect to the servers above using your Fisher username (lastname.#) and password.
For Windows 7, Vista and XP, a free site-licensed copy of Putty is available for all OSU faculty, staff, and students. It is available for download at the OSU Site Licensed Software site.
For Mac OS X, a free ssh client called Fugu is available which offers both SSH and SFTP.
When connecting to a server for the first time, you will be prompted to accept the server's host key. This is a unique identifier that should be accepted and stored. When connecting to the server again, your SSH client will check to make sure the host key matches. If it does not, you will be alerted as such, you should not continue connecting to the server, and contact the Helpdesk for assistance.
Applications available
The Unix research servers have the following applications available for general use:
File Transfer
Traditional FTP is not available on the Unix research servers. FTP, like traditional telnet, is too insecure because it sends usernames/passwords in clear-text. Instead, use Secure FTP (SFTP) to transfer files. SFTP should be part of your SSH client. Use the same server name, username, and password to login with SFTP as you do with SSH.
UNIX Tutorials
There are many tutorials, guides, and command references for Unix freely available on the web. For starters, try these sites:
Whenever in doubt about how to use a Unix command, try the manual pages by typing "man [command name]" (without the quotes).
Two popular editors are available to edit text files directly on the Unix research servers: vi and emacs.

She did. A few months later we scheduled the weekend stay and after work on a Friday, we headed down to San Antonio for a little vacation. We got in a little late on Friday night, but we had put off eating dinner so we could eat at The Cove, a cool little restaurant/beer garden. I looked over the gluten-free menu and decided on a Bison burger on a gluten-free bun (from Little Aussie Bakery) and some fries. Sadly, they were out of Bard's and Redbridge. Oh well. The food was great and we had a great time sitting outside and listening to some live music.
We headed back to Chicken Paradise to conk out. The suite was a very nice size with a great king size bed and wall-mounted TV. We went to sleep excited to see Chicken Paradise in the daylight.
We woke up refreshed and soon after got a knock on our door from Joe letting us know that our breakfast was ready. We got ready and headed outside to eat our breakfast by the pool. As we ate some fruit and had some coffee and tea, we soaked in the landscape of Chicken Paradise. Omelettes and waffles followed. The waffles were by far the best waffles that I've had since going gluten-free. We chatted with Anne and Joe a little bit before going back to our suite to get ready for our Segway tour of San Antonio (yes, we looked like major dorks).
The next morning, we woke up and opened the door to a couple of chickens and a peacock roaming outside letting us know that it was breakfast time. It was a little cold outside, so Anne and Joe brought breakfast to our room. After some fruit and delicious French toast (made with bread from Little Aussie's), we were both full. We packed up our bags and loaded the car up to get ready to leave. Before we left, we wandered around the property for a little while. We spent some time with the chickens while Joe was feeding them, as you can see below.
We had a great mini vacation at Chicken Paradise. Anne and Joe were very hospitable and had obviously done this before. I'd recommend Chicken Paradise to anyone (gluten-free or not).

There will be no Squash Fest post this week due to Thanksgiving. Instead, I thought I would post my own squash recipe today. This soup would go well with some leftover turkey.
I have found that butternut squash soup is one of my favorite soups. You can add things to it like the apple and potato found in this recipe or just keep it simple. You can also try different herbs and seasoning. Butternut squash just has such a pleasant flavor and blends up so nicely, that I seem to enjoy it no matter what I add or don't add to the soup.
- 1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed (about 4 cups)
- 1 small onion, chopped (about ⅔ cup)
- 1 medium green apple, peeled and chopped
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped (about 1½ cup, I used red potato)
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 Tablespoon oil or butter
- ½ teaspoon fresh rosemary, snipped into little pieces (or try ¼ teaspoon dried)
- salt & pepper to taste
- Prepare the vegetables.
- Heat the oil or butter in the bottom of a pot. Add the onion and sauté until softened.
- Add the chicken broth and heat to boiling.
- Stir in the vegetables and rosemary. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the vegetables are tender. The amount of time will depend on how small you cut them.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Blend the soup with an immersion blender, or by adding it in batches to a stand blender. The soup should be smooth with no chunks in it.

Lovebirds Rachel and Travis first met on Twitter. "While looking at a list of followers of an acquaintance, I noticed Rachel, and I thought she was beautiful in her tiny little avatar, so I hit 'follow'. Thankfully she followed me back, and the rest is history," Travis explains.
In a nod to their modern day fairytale, the two decided to share their vows via tweets during the ceremony. "When our officiant announced it was time for us to read our vows, we both pulled out our cellphones and created a Twitter archive of our love," Rachel reminisces. In lieu of a traditional reading, the Travis and Rachel asked their officiant to read a passage from the Dr. Seuss book Oh The Places You'll Go.
The original details of this creative couple's awe-inspiring celebration included a 13-foot-tall burlap word search puzzle containing the couple's favorite quote: "Anyone can be passionate, but it takes real lovers to be silly" as well as a gorgeous ampersand marquee. "We built the ampersand from scratch with the help of a couple friends, cutting a large sheet of wood, bending and bolting aluminum flashing, drilling holes for and mounting lights, and hand-painting the finish," Travis says. "As the sun set, the glow from the marquee created a beautiful photo backdrop. The marquee now sits on display in our home."
