when stinky air comes out of your bum.
when i was at school i let the biggest fart in class.
ayon kay Patrick Mcmillen ika-22 ng Nobyembre, 2004
A loud honking noise emitted from the anus, originating from the colon. It is made of of heaved gases and ass-smell.
Oh golly! That fart you did stained my jacket!

Something my girlfriend likes to do way too much!
She loves to fart.

A small explosion coming from between the inner thighs.
"I do believe I just heard a fart."

A hissing sound coming from your ass.
I love farting on my mirror.I spread my ass wide open and let go, and then watch the gas marks on the glass. I love it
I love farting on my mirror.I spread my ass wide open and let go, and then watch the gas marks on the glass. I love it
My chair stinks farty. I fart every minute and the stink has gotten into the fabric.
ayon kay Methane ika-15 ng Mayo, 2004
A fart, despite the horrific smell (see doornob), is FUNNY! I don't care what you say, IT IS FUNNY! When god made humans (or what ever higher being you believe in) he could have taken all that gas and passed it through anywhere in the human body and no one would have noticed but he passed it through the hugest flabs of fat in the human body; the ass cheeks and the result is a HALLARIOUS noise and if you don't think that it is funny the you are disrespecting THE LORD! (or Buddha,Sheeva,or Elron Hubbard...actually screw Elron Hubbard.
Farts are fricken funny.
ayon kay anonymas ika-03 ng Enero, 2008
A Cloud of death gas escaping from your ass, sometimes bringing bits of poop or diarrhea with it, resulting in what is called a Hershey Squirt
Shit Man! That fart sounded like it had a little hershey squirt goin on!

After baseball's finest left Kansas City and returned to their respective thirty clubs however, it appeared that this team decided that they would very well accept their "suckitude" rather than prove them all wrong. Although you will hear every player in that clubhouse deny it until they are blue (and orange) in the face, it was quite clear to everyone following this team or anyone who flipped on a Mets broadcast for all of five minute, that this team had indeed quit, that they had packed it in and were thinking about 2013, and that was no more apparent than in the 16-1 loss to the Phillies this past Thursday. This pitiful, embarrassing loss ...

Shabana Is Late for School
By Susan Dominus
Published: September 29, 2002
Early one morning in January, Shabana Nabizada, an 11-year-old girl from Kabul, tried, and failed, to rush her sister Frishta out of the house. It was Shabana's first day of school, and she couldn't wait to burst out the door. Frishta, on the other hand, was moving slowly, taking her time as she finished cleaning up and getting dressed. ''It was no big deal,'' recalls Frishta, a tall, softly rounded 17-year-old. ''I'd been to school before.'' Frishta had been in elementary school in 1996, when the Taliban captured Kabul and promptly interrupted her education and with it, her daily routine and her young friendships. She'd waited more than five years to return -- what were five more minutes?
For her sister Shabana, on the other hand, the day was altogether novel. Darker than Frishta, with serious brown eyes, Shabana was only 6 when the Taliban came to power. Instead of going to school, Shabana spent many of her waking hours staring at the mountains she could see from the windows in one of her family's two rooms. Like most people in Kabul, her parents were ethnic Tajiks, and rarely let their daughters leave the house, afraid they'd be punished by soldiers or, worse, abducted -- they'd heard stories about girls snatched from the street and married off to Taliban fighters, Pashtuns from the south. Frishta occasionally ventured out to the bazaar with her mother, but Shabana almost never strayed beyond her small, dusty front yard, enclosed by a wall so high even her father couldn't see over it. She never ran down the street to knock on a friend's door, never made up games with the neighbor's kids. There were no playgrounds, no parties. The Taliban had forbidden music and television, but her family had no electricity in any case. With the exception of one tattered first-grade language book an aunt had passed on, she had no books to puzzle over, no pictures to admire, no maps to trace with her finger. She was bored to exhaustion, too listless even to plead with her mother to let her play outside. Unfed, her curiosity foundered.
But with classes finally starting, she recalls, it was as if she suddenly felt the cumulative pressure of five years of waiting and wanting and wondering bearing down on her. Unable to resist the momentum even one minute more, she took off without Frishta, pushing her way past the blue metal gate separating the yard from the street, then running down the narrow, snaking pathway outside her home.
Shabana made it about 15 feet before she stopped cold in her tracks. Standing alone, she felt dangerously exposed and realized that she didn't know the way. The mud-clay walls on either side were high and silent, and who knew what they hid? Maybe a Talib waiting to catch her in this act of disobedience, a bearded man in a turban who would kidnap her or beat her.
Her heart pounding, she ran back home. When she and Frishta emerged together a few minutes later, Shabana was clutching her older sister's hand. They walked together quietly, Frishta gliding, ghostlike, in her periwinkle burka, Shabana trudging along in a grandmotherly head scarf and a long dress over pants. Gradually, they made their way through the winding, constricted paths, watching their feet as they marched along pitted, refuse-strewn dirt alleys. Every time they turned a corner or passed by a door, Frishta felt Shabana squeeze her hand a little tighter. ''We should walk more quickly; that way we won't get beaten,'' Shabana urged her sister. ''No one's going to beat us -- they're gone,'' Frishta reassured her. She was trying hard not to let her younger sister know the truth: that she, too, was terrified. It was less than two months after the fall of the Taliban, and the time barrier separating one regime from the next seemed dangerously fragile, easily breached.
Eventually, the path widened onto a spottily paved road where cars sometimes passed, and men on bicycles streamed by toward Kabul's center, their long robes flapping behind them. Close to the yellow-walled entrance to the school, there was a man selling melons, and directly across the way was one of Kabul's myriad streetside cemeteries, small and humble, with triangle-shaped flags marking the graves. Standing at the entrance with her sister, Shabana hesitated. All those years of waiting, and now she couldn't make her feet cross that threshold. ''Are you sure we should go in there?'' she asked Frishta. ''What if they never let me go home?'' Frishta told Shabana not to worry. ''There's hundreds of girls in there,'' she said. ''What makes you think you're so special that you're the one they'll decide to keep?''
For the past 10 months in Afghanistan, girls of all ages have been pushing themselves to cross unfamiliar thresholds, their breath held, their scarves wrapped tightly around their heads like cloth armor. Their mothers and aunts are also emerging from the suffocating cloisters of their homes, but many of those women are resuming a life they once knew; in Kabul, particularly, they're returning to jobs they had held before the Taliban banned them, or walking the streets without burkas, just as many had for most of their adult lives. For young women and girls, however, a free life is a new life, entirely untested, rich with promise but fraught with fears and anxieties.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Because Cal Poly is largely a commuter school, the majority of students live in off-campus housing, or even still at home with their parents. The most popular locations to rent apartments are in Walnut, Chino Hills, Diamond Bar, Phillips Ranch, and San Dimas. Students tend to avoid the apartments in Pomona because they aren't always in the safest of areas.
The Crest, located in Phillips Ranch, is an apartment complex that is filled with Cal Poly students, although the pricing is a bit steep. More recently students have been renting small houses with friends and splitting the rent between the roommates. If a student is part of a fraternity, he has the option of moving into his fraternity's house.
Honestly, the best choice for off-campus housing is the University Village Apartments. They are close to school, in a safe area, and are affordable. The downside is that because they are school property, there are rules when it comes to parties, noise control, alcohol, and decorations.

Ron Johnson's plan for Penney's at least gives the retailer a focus.
J.C. Penney Co. Inc. CEO Ron Johnson freely admitted yesterday he was tapping his work experience in building Apple Inc.'s retail stores in his presentation announcing J.C. Penney's new retail strategy. Consumers can expect clearer, no-fuss pricing, stores with defined areas for brand-focused shopping and socializing, and Penney's will communicate and reinforce the changes through highly polished marketing. Sound familiar? It's certainly helping make Apple stores profitable. Each square foot of an Apple store brings in about $7,000 in sales.
Whether J.C. Penney's moves will make its stores relevant and appealing enough to consumers that stores remain profitable as a whole is TBD. Each square foot of Penney's more than 1,100 stores today brings in about $200 in sales. And we all understand the inherent financial imbalances of store retailing versus online retailing and the increasingly larger bite online retail is taking from stores. But while I watched the live webcast of Johnson's presentation yesterday, I thought that at least Penney's has a plan, a clear strategy it intends to execute on over the next four years. That is more than I can say I've heard from other store retailers who seem content to stay in the middle of the road and get run over by the forces at play.
J.C. Penney's marketing execution will effectively decide the retailer's future. I'm not referring only to its advertising, but to how it delivers, sells and convinces consumers at all customer touchpoints to shop its stores. It's an enormous and complicated task. And consumers don't react well to change initially.
Penney's revamped pricing strategy, for one, will likely confuse customers who will only see that Penney's isn't having a sale and they're not getting their $10-off coupon. In the short term, Penney's will take some financial hits, I predict. But consumers are more accustomed to adjusting to change now than 20 years ago. Look at how quickly we all picked up on the Internet, then online shopping, cell phones, smartphones and tablets.
Accepting and processing change happens faster now. If J.C. Penney investors can accept the short-term hits and let the retailer execute on its long-term marketing the way it says it will, Penney's stores may have a shot at surviving. If investors don't support the moves or if the marketing fails, the weight of those 1,100+ stores will drown J.C. Penney.

Photo Details
This picture does not say who it is . I "think" IT IS NOT PROVEN - that this is Maggie Blanton -first wife of my great great grandfather Herman English Dyer Sr. The picture is very small and on the back is written " to ms maggie blanton" . The picture was sent to Maggie , although in those days often when pictures were taken the photographer sent the pictures out made out to the subject of the photograph. I have seen this happen before. If this is Maggie then the hat and dress are right from the period she was alive (1883-1812) -but this is still Not proven. I also think this to be Maggie due to the fact that Herman Washington Dyer told me that that their was only one known photograph of his mother and this photograph was at one point his.

Re: FHA Qualifying Chances and CA Settlement reporting importance
JM-AM wrote:
What are your positive tradelines?
How old are your positive tradelines?
The present information you gave you would qualify, except you still need to see if paying the collection brought your score down. I would wait until reports update and see if your scores were impacted. If they stayed above 640 you still would be fine to qualify depending on other credit information needed from positive, open tradelines.
I have Cap1 MC opened in Oct 2011. I use it for online purchases only and pay off the balance 1 or more times a month.. It's utilization % is probably hurting my TU score though. I used it a bunch in late December (after paying the balance) so it was at 26% when I pulled my last TU report.
I also have an old car loan that EQ reports and TU doesn't. It was started in Sep 2000, no lates during the 5 year auto loan.
No other accounts open though. I didn't want any new applications/inquiries because of how quickly I thought I'd be applying for a home loan.
Also, no lates on any accounts in 4+ years (excluding the CA).
And I'm actually hoping paying the collection settlement improves my scores. This CA is reporting all balance increases (from interest) once or twice a month. Granted I haven't done a ton of research on the topic, but I have always assumed that in almost all cases Settled in Full has a better impact than an unpaid collection. I thought when it came to CA reporting statuses the following is true: No TL > Paid in Full > Settled in Full > Unpaid/Late. (Granted I believe for CA TLs that
TL Deletion is much better than Paid in Full, Paid in Full is moderately better than Settled in Full, and Settled in Full is moderately better than Unpaid/Late.)
Why would "Settled in Full" hurt my score more than not paying it? That seems very illogical to me and I don't process illogical things well at all.

|"The Damned: Prodigal Son" #1 on sale now, #2 on sale next week
Cursed by beings known as the Verlochin and endlessly scheming against rival demon crime families for his own survival, Eddie seems to have chosen a dangerous life for himself, a life that always seems to get him killed. Luckily (or maybe unluckily), Eddieâs curse is such that he returns to the land of the living when some unfortunate soul happens to touch his corpse.
Described by some as âThe Sopranos Go To Hell,â Oni Pressâ supernatural gangster graphic novel âThe Damned: Three Days Deadâ showed readers why Eddieâs inability to remain dead isnât always so convenient. The new miniseries by writer Cullen Bunn and artist Brian Hurtt, âThe Damned: Prodigal Sons,â brings Eddieâs quirky curse a little closer to home. With the second issue of âProdigal Sonsâ on sale next week, CBR News caught up with Bunn to discuss the lighter and darker sides of âThe Damned.â
When Eddie dies, as heâs prone to do every now and then, he can catch glimpses of the afterlife. During one of his last jaunts to eternity, Eddie saw his mother wandering kingdom come as a lost soul. âHow she got there is still a bit of a mystery, but Eddie doesnât want her to be trapped there,â Cullen Bunn told CBR News. âSo, like Orpheus seeking to rescue Eurydice, he plans to rescue her. Itâs a cocky plan, but Eddie makes a habit of being overconfident in his own abilities. Heâs so overconfident, in fact, that heâs willing to kill himself to get what he wants.â
|Pages from "The Damned: Prodigal Son" #2
Early in âProdigal Sons,â readers learn of another twist to Eddieâs resurrection curse: every time Eddie dies, his brother Morgan receives a new tattoo-like scar. There is also a mystery surrounding Eddie and Morganâs father, who apparently made a bargain with the Verlochin sometime in the brothersâ childhood. âThe deal Eddieâs father made, the fate of Eddieâs mother, and even the scars upon Morganâs flesh are all connected,â Bunn said. âWhile this story arc is about family, the series as a whole often concerns choices -- why we make them, how we live with the consequences of said choices, and how we react when those choices are taken out of our hands.
âDo we accept our fate? Or do we fool ourselves into believing weâre still in control? Eddie believes heâs got it all figured out, but as he descends into the underworld, he begins to realize that nothing is as it seems, and no matter how sure of himself he might be, heâs just one small piece of a puzzle that is much, much bigger.â
For all of this, though, âThe Damnedâ is not mired in grim existentialism. The creators have a lot of fun with the demonic characters, which are frightening but largely human as well. âFrom very early on, we both knew we wanted our demons to be monstrous, but we didnât want them breathing fire or shooting eye beams or casting big, explosive spells. We like the idea that the demons are, in many ways, just like us,â Bunn said. âTheyâre stuck in a tough world, and theyâre trying to make it the only way they know how.
|Pages from "The Damned: Prodigal Son" #2
âWhatâs more important is the notion that the demons are forgetting what they used to be; theyâre being seduced by the very vices they use to tempt humans. The Aligheri and Roarke families have definitely fallen victim to the temptations of the mortal world. The Verlochin, on the other hand, hate what their brethren have become, and they long for the bad old days. This rivalry is a major driving force of overall story Brian and I want to tell.â
There is also a bit of gallows humor as to Eddieâs inability to stay alive and the madcap adventures he gets up to when heâs dead. There is, however, equal presentation of the less funny aspects of mortality -- the demons do cut people apart, and Eddie takes some extreme measures in order to reach hell. âWeâve always thought that horrific and comedic elements complement each other quite well,â remarked Bunn. âThe comedy serves as a nice change of pace from the darker aspects of the story. The comedic elements lower the readerâs defenses a bit, and once theyâre off guard, the horrific elements are all the more sharp.
âThat said, we donât see 'The Damnedâ as a horror story so much as a supernatural crime yarn. The first series had much more of a mystery/private eye vibe. 'Prodigal Sonsâ goes the route of pulp adventure. 'Daughterâs Danse,â the next series ⦠now thatâs a little darker and more gothic horror. â
Now discuss this story in CBRâs Indie Comics forum.

Firefighters were this evening still at the scene of a major
fire which broke out at Taheke, South Hokianga, about 12.30pm
The blaze swept through more than 30ha of scrub and native
bush beside Taheke Rd, threatening homes and a pine
plantation. By 4pm four helicopters were working to contain
the fire using monsoon buckets.
Fire bosses hope heavy rain forecast this weekend will put it
The same area was razed by fire four years ago.
Also today Mahuri Marae, on Ramsey Rd, also in Taheke, was
threatened by a scrub fire. Flames came within 5m but the
building was not damaged.

SDCC: "Arrow" Cast & Crew Dish Out Details on Season 5
Back when I was doing the Top 75 Most Iconic DC Covers of All-Time, more than once I had someone suggest a certain Carmine Infantino and Murphy Anderson cover that is one of the most iconic Batman images of all-time.
The thing is – it's not a cover! It was a pin-up!
The actual pin-up is a bit tough to find out there on the interwebs, so I thought I'd share it with you all right here, because I love you all and I like to block your snark.
So enjoy, from Detective Comics #352, by Carmine Infantino and Murphy Anderson, here's Batman and Robin!
Click to enlarge!
A great snark blocker to expand on this one you can do someday (if you haven't already) is try to track down all the homages to this pin-up that you can. This gem has been homaged so many times, and it would be cool to see all of them in one place.
As a kid a had this big telephone book like collection of Golden Age Batman stories, all in black and white. A friend of the family gave it to me. It was pretty great.
And that was the cover.
Such a great iconic image.
i remember when i first saw the image how how i thought it was interesting for robin looks ready to pounce and batman always the solider a cool choice to block snark
Infantino hates to draw feet!
Just kidding! What a cool pin-up. very iconic and very expressive of it's era.
That is a great image. Thank you for posting it.
But what is a snark blocker? What is a snark?
It was the cover to Batman From the 30's to the 70's hardcover released in 1971 or '72. Not a comic cover, true, but a cover nonetheless.
Wasn't this pose also used for one of the plastic model kits from the 60's or 70's?
Of course, this is also the cover of Showcase Presents: Robin, the Boy Wonder from a couple of years ago … with Batman erased. To say the resulting image looks somewhat odd is an understatement.
I think this was used as the dustcover for "Batman From the '30's to the '70's" it was that telephone book sized collection of classic stories. I got it for my birthday and wore the dustcover out. I've read that a million times! The cover is a bright yellow, like the background of the Bat-shield insignia with a black spine. Mines all dirty and the pages are almost all pretty loose…
That is such a cool image! I would love to see a collection of homage images…
Richard, I had the same vague recollection that this was either a plastic model or the ad for the plastic model.
A Snark is an evil reptilian alien that fought the Power Pack.
And sometimes a Snark is a Boojum, which is very bad. I suppose that's why the Snarks need to be blocked.
The only Batman model I recall was him hanging by one hand from a gnarled tree, ready to throw a batarang.
But this image was used over and over for ads and toy packages and such.
An altered version of the image was used for the cover of Signet Books' 1966 paperback Batman: All of the drawing was edited out except the two figures and the background moon, now with an outline around it. Batman's figure was tilted forward and his legs altered, presumably to give a more dynamic effect.
The best image I could find on a quick Googling was http://tinyurl.com/2fzzugt.
Yes, you're all right about "From the 30s to the 70s" book and the models. There were plenty of model ads on the back of 60s DCs with that pose. "From the 30s to the 70s" was ace – my brother had one. I bought the Superman version off ebay recently for about £3.
Infantino/Anderson also did a poster in a "Batman" around the same time – about #184 I think.
For T.: Here's a list (I don't claim it's definitive– there are probably more):
Action Comics Weekly #618 (Bogdanove)
Batman & Robin Adventures #8 (Burchett)
Captain Atom #33 (Broderick)
Robin/Argent Double Shot #1 (Land/Marzan)
Simpsons #31 (Groening/Morrison)
Wasn't one of the All-Star Batman and Robin covers or preliminary pieces based on this?

Peer Tutoring
To help support student success, the peer tutoring program is free and open to all DMU students. Striving to help students individually or in small group settings, peer tutors aim to help identify strategies, tips, and resources that may improve learning, comprehension, and confidence for students in particular areas of study.
The peer tutoring program may be used by students who:
- are struggling academically
- may have been out of school for a while
- previously may have never had to study but who are finding they need to learn some strategies now
- are doing okay but want to improve
- are doing well and want to challenge themselves to attain a higher level of performance
Some Tips for Successful Tutoring Sessions
- Make contact beforehand to change or confirm appointments made; make sure to agree on a location and time.
- Email questions or topic areas to tutors at least one day before meeting to allow tutors time to adequately prepare appropriate materials and/or gather useful resources to help during the session.
- Do not hesitate to take advantage of small group sessions. Other individuals may ask questions you haven't thought of yourself.
- If you are no longer interested in obtaining/providing tutoring services please indicate your unavailability to continue – no further rationale is necessary.
- If you are interested in working with another tutor/student, please indicate your unavailability to continue and seek out another tutor/await another student response – no other rationale is necessary.
Things for All to Keep in Mind…
- Be understanding: If you contact a peer tutor and they are unable to commit time presently, do NOT take it personally.
- Communicate: Working together, agree upon the best method of communication for both parties – be that email, calling, text messaging, etc.
- Be flexible: Tutors are students too and have coursework of their own to tend to – rescheduling may need to happen.
- Be respectful: If you have a scheduled session to meet, MEET! If you are unable to follow through with your planned appointment, send correspondence as soon as you can.
One of the best methods to understand and retain knowledge is by trying to teach it to others. Becoming a peer tutor is an excellent method by which to develop a deeper level of understanding and can help prepare you and keep subject areas fresh on your mind for board examinations.
In order to become a tutor, a student must meet the following criteria:
- Have passed the course they intend to teach with at least a B or above in Anatomy and/or Biochemistry. A grade of A- or above is required for eligibility in each of the remaining courses
- Received signed approval from their program coordinators affirming a passing grade.
- Communicate record of tutoring sessions (download form) to CTL on a monthly basis (between the 1st and the 3rd of every month, a written record of the previous month's tutoring sessions should be received by CTL via email email@example.com). For example, between March 1st and 3rd, email CTL with the written record of your February tutoring sessions
- Applications to become a peer tutor are due by the last working day of May each year.
If you receive an email request from a student regarding tutoring services, please respond within 36 hours whether you are able to help or not. If unable to commit to helping at this time, please reply using the generic response: "I apologize, but I am unable to serve as your tutor at this time". If you are available, please schedule a time and place to meet to begin tutoring sessions.
- Please respond to student requests for tutoring in a timely manner – if possible, within 36 hours
- If a student contacts you about scheduling tutoring sessions and you are unable to commit, please reply with: "I apologize, but I am unable to serve as your tutor at this time" so the student will know to ask someone else.
IMPORTANT: We advise you to not commit to tutoring more than two individual students or one student and one tutor group. It is imperative that your own studies do not begin to fail due to overcommitting yourself to tutoring others. Additionally, there may be an instance in which CTL may contact you directly to help with individual students in need; maintaining a smaller case load of tutees would allow you to possibly help out in these instances.
Application Process
Application forms will be sent via email from CTL during the first week of April to all students that will be entering their second or third year of study as appropriate. The completed forms are due back either: electronically to email@example.com or physically to CTL Administrative Assistant Fran, no later than the last working day of May. Application review will commence in early June and all students selected to serve as peer tutors will be notified by mid-July once final grades have been received and reviewed from the Registrar.
Please return electronic applications to firstname.lastname@example.com or return physical applications to: the library circulation staff in the Library from 4/4-4/11 or after 4/11, please submit physical applications to Fran Smith-Fatten located in CTL (northwest corner of library, overlooking Grand Ave) no later than the last working day in May. Returning a paper version or an electronic version of the application are both acceptable.
Orientation Session
An orientation session for individuals serving as summer peer tutors will be scheduled in early June; a subsequent session for those serving as fall/spring peer tutors will be held in late July or early August. The luncheon meetings will allow for an explanation of the program, discussion of the benefits of serving as a peer tutor, and a question/answer session. Information regarding the sessions will be sent from CTL to all appropriate individuals at least one week in advance of the sessions.
Although all tutors are very capable students, please realize they may not have all of the answers to your questions. Your professors/instructors are available to clarify questions and provide assistance and certainly wish to be utilized in that role. Please do not hesitate to use both sources!
To request a tutor, contact CTL at email@example.com indicating what subject(s) you need a peer tutor for. CTL will then reach out to the peer tutors in that subject area to see who is available. Once we have matched you with a peer tutor, we will send both students an email so that they can get in touch to arrange a time and place to meet. If for some reason you are not able to work out a time to meet, please follow up with CTL to let us know and we will try finding an alternative tutor.
- If a tutor contacts you, please reply in a timely manner – if possible, within 36 hours.
- Students may already be tutoring another student(s) and may not have the capacity to commit to helping you presently. If they respond indicating "I apologize, but I am unable to serve as your tutor at this time", do NOT take it personally as they simply may not have the time and have been prompted to use this generic response to indicate such. Contact CTL to request another peer tutor.
- Email tutors with questions you wish to review at least one day in advance of meeting. This will allow tutors time to prepare in the subject area content.
- Due to the limited number of tutors in certain subject areas we cannot always guarantee placement but we will do our best to assist you. There may also be certain times of year when it is difficult to match you with a peer tutor because they are students as well and are also preparing for exams of their own. Please be aware that there are other resources available in the library and in the Center for Teaching and Learning that can be checked out by students.

Bottom Line: Autism Core Skills is a loaded app full of the things us reviewers love like custom settings, smooth graphics, tons of easy-to-access content and data collection. This is an app for folks that are truly serious about education for kids on the spectrum because it requires hands-on time for the teacher, therapist or parent and it comes with a hefty subscription fee that may be worth it if this is the app your student(s) need.

AbstractOver the last several years, the United States Military has been undergoing a radical transition from a traditional "platform-centric" force to one capable of performing in a state-of-the-art "Network-Centric" environment. With this transformation comes the challenge of creating and maintaining a globally consistent tactical picture across a distributed ad-hoc sensor network. In order to meet this challenge, the Decisive Analytics Corporation (DAC) team brings to bear industry leading capabilities, experience, and technology in the areas of information fusion, tracking, distributed and network programming, and intelligent agents to develop and deploy an interlaced information and adjudication network system for real-time low-level information fusion based on the Dual Node Network (DNN) architecture. Through the study of network topologies, data association schema, and state estimation techniques, this effort will result in a point design for an intelligent agent managed infostructure fusion network to support Army Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance (ISR) operations in the future battlefield.

- scattering;
- planets and satellites: dynamical evolution and stability;
- planet–star interactions;
- binaries: general
Exoplanetary systems are found not only among single stars, but also among binaries of widely varying parameters. Binaries with separations of 100–1000 au are prevalent in the solar neighbourhood; at these separations, planet formation around a binary member may largely proceed as if around a single star. During the early dynamical evolution of a planetary system, planet–planet scattering can eject planets from a star's grasp. In a binary, the motion of a planet ejected from one star has effectively entered a restricted three-body system consisting of itself and the two stars, and the equations of motion of the three-body problem will apply as long as the ejected planet remains far from the remaining planets. Depending on its energy, escape from the binary as a whole may be impossible or delayed until the three-body approximation breaks down, and further close interactions with its planetary siblings boost its energy when it passes close to its parent star. Until then, this planet may be able to transition from the space around one star to the other, and chaotically 'bounce' back and forth. In this paper, we directly simulate scattering planetary systems that are around one member of a circular binary, and quantify the frequency of bouncing in scattered planets. We find that a great majority (70–85 per cent) of ejected planets will pass at least once through the space of it's host's binary companion, and depending on the binary parameters about 35–75 per cent will begin bouncing. The time spent bouncing is roughly lognormally distributed with a peak at about 104 yr, with only a small percentage bouncing for more than 1 Myr. This process may perturb and possibly incite instability among existing planets around the companion star. In rare cases, the presence of multiple planets orbiting both stars may cause post-bouncing capture or planetary swapping.

Failure at Varsity Theater, 5/21/14
Photo by Mark N. Kartarik
Varsity Theater, Minneapolis
Wednesday, May 21, 2014
After a ten-minute film intro (there was no opening band) that included clips from, among other things, the 1975 Russian art-house film The Mirror, 2001: A Space Odyssey, the classic "Space Madness" episode of Nickelodeon's Ren and Stimpy and the opening scene from The Spy Who Loved Me, Failure took the stage at the roughly 3/4 full Varsity on Wednesday night to a barrage of cheers and whistles.
It's been 22 years since their debut, Comfort, was released but it certainly didn't sound like it as they opened the night's two-hour set with a note-perfect version of "Another Space Song" from their 1996 magnum opus, Fantastic Planet.
From there they moved into "Frogs" from 1994's Magnified and like so many bands before them, it was quite obvious already that Failure was criminally overlooked during their first go-round. The magnificent harmonics; the skull crushing basslines from Ken Andrews; the tattered, angular guitar riffs offered by Greg Edwards, to say nothing of Kellii Scott's precise, thunderous drumming. Seeing the band again some 20 years later, the wide influence they had was immediately obvious, as many of the songs contained passages that sounded like everything from TV On the Radio to the War On Drugs. "Sergeant Politeness" kept the audio assault moving at a roughly pedal to the floor speed, while "Dirty Blue Balloons" cemented itself as one the bands best songs and possibly the best '90s alt-rock tongue twister title.
Photos by Mark N. Kartarik
Which brings up another "Failure did it best" occurrence: They were a precursor to the Decemberists in a way, in that if you told people you listened to them, it came with a certain cache. You thought about things deeply, maybe -- or at least seemed to -- and could probably talk at length about H.P. Lovecraft's works. You probably weren't smarter than the guy next to you, mind you, but seeming like it was all that mattered and Failure lent a massive helping hand.
The band wrapped up the first part of the night with "Pillowhead" and "The Nurse Who Loved Me, " Andrews announcing they'd be back after a short break as a green and black digital clock appeared on the projection screen behind them and began counting down from 15:00.
As everyone piled back into the Varsity's stage area post-smoke/grab a beer/go to the restroom break, Failure began the night's second half in a measured fashion with "Blank," but quickly were back up to their old tricks with "Solaris" and "Small Crimes, " which gave way to another of the night's many highlights (and, really, there were few, if any, low points) in "Smoking Umbrellas." Though there had been much cheering for every song over the course of the night (there's no such thing as a casual Failure fan, after all) the crowd reserved the loudest cheering for the one minor hit the band had, "Stuck On You," with its unflinching look at heroin's allure, albeit though an odd, warped lens.
Photo by Mark N. Kartarik
They wrapped up the proper set with "Heliotropic" and after a few minutes of cheering that bordered on cult-like in it's enthusiasm, the trio unassumingly reclaimed the stage. Andrews deadpanned, "Do you guys want to hear some more songs? Cool, because we want to play some more." They then burst into a massive, buzzy, feedback-damaged encore that consisted of the stellar "Macaque" from Comfort, "Screen Man" and finished with "Daylight" and as they quietly, humbly walked off of the stage. The walk itself was maybe as good an explanation as any as to why Failure wasn't selling out arenas as many of their contemporaries were and, indeed, they were quite worthy of doing: They weren't and still aren't characters like many bands often are. They're three guys who are exceedingly good at what they do and aim to entertain while causing a small measure of hearing loss among those in attendance in the process, maybe. We'll never know exactly, of course. All we can do is continue telling people about them.
Critic's Bias: I first saw Failure when they opened for Tool at First Ave. nearly 20 years ago to the day (May 12, 1994, I still have the stub) and have been in love ever since. The scope of their influence can be measured by taking three hours to listen to their studio albums while developing a headache because "This sounds like..." will run on repeat in your brain the entire time. They've influenced almost everyone who has come after in some way.
The Crowd: Older and hairy.
Overheard in the Crowd: "If you're in a black or grey T-shirt, have a beard and are wearing glasses, you're at this Failure show."
Notebook Dump: The constant noise of the crashing cymbals is so comforting it makes me want to cry.

The latest club experiment will be to brew the same recipe changing only the crystal malt aspect of the grain bill.
Originally this was slated for the August meeting but we have to push it back to the September meeting (24th). If anyone has already brewed for this, we're very sorry and hang on to it if possible it will be put to good use we're sure. The opportunity to have the August meeting at the Brewery at Hershey was one we felt the club would really enjoy being able to experience. Details on the August meeting are in the upcoming newsletter. September is going to be a busy month for the club in general (more on that soon).
The recipes for different methods of brewing are below. When replacing the crystal, please use the same amount exactly for comparison in tasting.
The unclaimed malts at the time of this posting are:
American: 10L, 20L, 120L
British: CaraMalt 10L
All are available at Lancaster Homebrew.
Email firstname.lastname@example.com to claim any of the above and thank you in advance for participating.

I'm testing multi-site functionality and have it all working (functionally speaking) the way I want. The only thing I need to modify is the way that the registration form is presented. Currently it's left justified on a standard page template. Here's the page in question http://filmmakersvillage.com/wp-signup.php
I'd like to be able to style this a little more attractively. Can someone get me pointed in the right direction?
Thanks in advance,

I have installed Windows 7 in a UEFI enabled motherboard - however it won't boot when a Ubuntu MBR drive is connected.
I've read a little about the incompatibilities between these two, but would like to fix them without doing anything like reinstalling the Ubuntu OS from scratch.
If this is possible, how can I make both the operating systems boot fine, without reinstalling them?
Or How can i convert the Ubuntu drive from MBR to GPT?.

CROI Conference, Denver, CO February 8, 2006 (cont.)
A related study looked at carotid artery changes which have been shown to correlate with cardiovascular disease. The study enrolled 45 groups of three, and within each group there was a subject HIV-infected on a protease inhibitor, another HIV-infected not on a protease inhibitor, and a third that was not HIV-infected. Within each group the study subjects were similar with regards to other cardiovascular risk factors such as smoking, age and gender. The investigators previously published the baseline data showing no differences in carotid measurements between the 3 groups. At this meeting they reported the 3-years of follow-up showing no difference in the change in carotid measures between the groups. Therefore, at least based upon this non-invasive test, there did not appear to be an increased risk of cardiovascular disease associated with the use of protease inhibitors.
Antiretroviral Therapy in Development
Integrase Inhibitors
Drugs in an exciting new class of antiretroviral agents called integrase inhibitors were reported at this meeting. One such drug in development by Merck is called 0518. They have previously reported 10 day monotherapy data showing nearly a 100-fold decrease in blood viral load. At this meeting they presented data from a study that included highly treatment-experienced subjects who were resistant to many available drugs. Study subjects were given best available therapy alone or along with either 200, 400 or 600 mg twice per day of the integrase inhibitor. The primary endpoint was change in viral load and CD4. This was an early look at the data for subjects who reached 16 weeks on therapy. The investigators found that overall there was approximately a 100-fold reduction in viral load in those who received the integrase inhibitor as part of therapy, compared to less than 10-fold in those who received best available therapy without the new drug. The drug appeared to be well-tolerated without significant laboratory abnormalities.
Data with another integrase inhibitor, Gilead Sciences 9137 was also presented. In this case they treated subjects with different doses of the drug. These studies showed that the optimal doses resulted in an approximate 100-fold reduction of viral load compared to a minimal change seen in the group that received no therapy. In addition, there were no apparent adverse events noted at this time.
CCR5 InhibitorAnother study reported on the use of the CCR5 inhibitor vicriviroc in those who have never received antiretroviral therapy before. This novel class of drugs had been moving forward in clinical development by three different companies. Several months ago it was announced that development one of these drugs, aplavirac was stopped because of several cases of severe liver toxicity. Not long after that we heard about the data safety monitoring board stopping the study presented at this meeting. This study randomized subjects to different doses of vicriviroc given for two weeks by two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors with each of the different doses of the drug or with efavirenz as the standard of care arm. The study was prematurely stopped because there was lower rate of viral suppression in those receiving vicriviroc compared to the standard of care group. The difference was most significant in those on the low doses of the experimental drug. It is important to note that the number of study subjects was relatively small and further analysis is necessary to fully understand why the outcomes with the new drug may have been worse than the standard of care. Ongoing trials are underway with another drug, maraviroc, and are currently planned for vicriviroc.

LEAGUE CITY (August 6, 2014) A man wanted in connection with a bank robbery fled from officers and then shot himself after an interstate chase through League City into Houston.
Houston police Wednesday identified the driver as Danny Simmons, 28, of Dickinson.
The chase started Tuesday afternoon after League City officers tried to stop a car that matched the description of a vehicle used in a robbery in Kemah.
The driver led the officers north on Interstate 45 into Houston, calling officers during the chase and threatening to harm himself, League City police said.
Authorities used spike-strips to stop the car after an hour-long chase.
As officers approached the vehicle, they heard a gunshot, police said.
Simmons was pronounced dead at the scene.

I liked this submission overall, it just needs more consistancy. By that I mean that while some parts were very well made, there were other parts that just seemed lacking when compared to the rest of the flash. A prime example would be the fight scenes. While the rest of the flash was animated, when the characters would fight, it would cut to some pictures of the characters, there would be a fighting sound effect, and the fight would be over.
A way to remedy this without compromising the joke would be to make some character templates and have those bump into each other. Then there wouldn't be that distracting white box around the characters whenever they fight and it would look less cheap.
I also liked the voice acting, but found it inconsistent. Whenever Donald would talk, audio clips from the games would play instead of somebody's voice. While it was creative, it was also kind of jarring when everyone else would speak English and Donald would speak in discombobulated audio clips.
In summation, the flash is good, just try not to cut as many corners next time.

Too bad I have never played any Kingdom Hearts game yet, even though I have always been interested in the games... oh well, I guess I missed out on a lot of fun. And I'm still missing out, since I guess I can't understand all the jokes in here.
Anyway, there where a few funny scenes in here. I liked it, when that big black thing got punched and he started crying. "Why did you have to do that?" It was even funnier the second time it happened. ^^
I also liked the length of this submission. Usually parodies are only a minute long or even shorter. But this submission clearly shows that you put a lot of effort into it, creating some kind of story line and creating your own jokes. The only thing I didn't like was when you used the cards instead of the characters. This looked too cheap for me.
Overal, this is yet another enjoyable submission.

Oh Man This Is Just Straight Out Funny,Thanks 4 Making This Video MistyEntertainment It Reminds Me Of The Old Days Wen I Use 2 Play This. This Was Awesome Keep Up The Good Work MistyEntertainment And All U Other Voice Actors! :D
Yeah that's pretty accurate.
Overall I would say it was a pleasure to watch. It's clear to see areas you can improve in, but it's also clear to see areas you ARE improving in and putting a lot of effort into.
For a standpoint of the content, it was pretty good. Though it was a parody, a lot of the jokes were pretty original and didn't rely so heavily on the subject that was being parodied, therefore a pretty decent amount of creativity was put into it for what it was. Though I didn't completely burst into laughter at any point, I WAS chuckling and smirking all the way through, and even that is something that's hard for a Flash movie to make me do. I like your sense of writing. Yes, at some parts I felt it dragged quite a bit and there's a lot of room for improvement, but then again, your age and time of experience is something to be considered. You have what I would say a respectable sense of humor, you don't entirely rely on 1) constant adult sex jokes 2) gay 3) rape 4) gay rape 5) random screaming crazy faces 6) abrupt cuts and endings 7) LOTS of cursing 8) random overly-violent and gory scenes, and the list goes on with what so many users are doing now with their content, yet that kind of humor is what people consider "respectable" these days. I for one am not one of those people.
Now as a technical standpoint, I felt that it was pretty good too. You're working on your frame-by-frame, and it's clear to see the improvement and once again, your efforts. I think what you did best was the lip-syncing. At times I saw you chose to do the mouth-flap thing, but most of the time it was well-synced, at a good pace, flowed nicely into the words and overall wasn't half bad. You'd be surprised how SO MANY OTHER USERS just can't seem to get that right.
Some stuff was slightly disjointed but honestly wasn't the worst I've seen. It's just something that you need to work on, because it can be very distracting. I think the overall biggest issue I had with the visuals was the lack of consistency. The animation kind of flipped from good to not-so-good quite often, from shot-to-shot. Now what does that tell me? It doesn't necessarily mean you're bad at animating, but it means you're being a bit lazy at some parts, not using your full potential. Believe me, I know this, so many of my older videos, I got lazy and sort of rushed through a lot of parts to get them over with and they didn't turn out so great. It wasn't 'till I went "alright, I just gotta pull myself together and do this good" that I got past issue (for the most part, anyway).
Now some people who are familiar with a lot of my reviews and are reading this may be thinking "wait, how come he gave worse reviews to videos that had higher scores and did better?" Well, I review things based on what else I have seen from the producer, and in comparison to the score and recognition it as. There's no point in comparing one man's videos to another, because there's ALWAYS going to be someone better, always someone who is worse. You just can't compare apples to oranges. But you CAN compare apples to... other apples. As in, what else the same creator has made, or what I usually do, look at the content and then see its amount of recognition and popularity.
As for voicing goes, most of it was decent, but other voices were off-quality in terms of both acting and the equipment used. Something left to be desired.
But overall it was pretty good I thought, the biggest issues again are consistency. If you animate, write, and use voices all at the highest quality you can do, and KEEP a video that way the entire time, I'd say you'd have a pretty good film. Just don't let laziness get in the way. You REALLY have to go all out at your max (reasonable) capacity the whole way through. It's tough, it takes a long time, but in the end it's worth it, it really is. I'm glad you're not doing the same thing over and over again with your videos, I can see you're improving and trying things outside of your comfort zone, you're moving out of the box. Honestly, there's so many animators out there who just aren't doing that. Keep it up.
Hi, thanks for the great review, I really appreciate it! Thanks for the compliment on the lip-syncing, I did make sure that the lip sync was at least fitting (even if I got lazy and resorted to mouth flaps.)
I'll be sure to keep all of this in mind for my future projects. Thanks for the great advice!

Sometimes when I use Windows's "Show Desktop" button (the one built into Quick Launch), one of the items on the taskbar starts blinking/flashing and won't stop until I give it focus. This doesn't happen every time I use the button, but I'd say it happens more than half the time. I haven't noticed a pattern for which item blinks, or when the problem occurs.
Curiously, this happens on both my home computer, which runs Vista, and my work computer, which runs XP. Anyone have ideas on how to make it stop? It's not a major problem by any stretch of the imagination, but it's getting kind of irritating, mostly because it gives me a nagging "Something... Is Not Right" feeling.

HARLINGEN (September 1, 2013)--Farmers in the Rio Grande Valley are reporting millions of dollars in crop losses worth because of the devastating drought that continues to parch South Texas.
The growing season has been the worst since 2006 and the Natural Resources Defense Council ranked Texas No. 10 in the country for drought losses.
Farmers who work non-irrigated land lost 88 percent of their crop to drought, a loss valued at about $1 million.
Cotton farmers in the valley lost about 90,000 acres in the dry spell, while those who farmed grain sorghum lost 60 percent of their crop, or some 410,000 acres.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's defense council is encouraging farmers to employ new methods and techniques that cut down on water usage as more extreme weather becomes the norm.
