Tonight – the night of August 11-12, 2016 – presents the expected peak of the 2016 Perseid meteor shower. The shower should be at its best from late night August 11 until dawn August 12. Great times to watch: after midnight and before dawn. On a dark, moonless night, you can often see 50-100 Perseid meteors per hour. Plus the Perseids have more fireballs, or bright meteors, than any other major shower, according to NASA's Meteoroid Office. What a beautiful sight it will be, to see meteors streaking along in a moon-free sky, in front of the age-old constellations.
Although the moon will light up the evening hours, it will set way before the predawn hours, at which time the Perseid meteors fly most abundantly. However, before these prime time viewing hours, why not use the moon to locate the planets Mars and Saturn at nightfall? See the chart below.
Notice the photo at the top of this post. Barry Simmons at Lake Martin, Alabama caught this Perseid meteor in 2013. See the colors? The Perseids are known to be colorful meteors.
If you can, plan to go to a country location to enjoy the Perseids, a summertime classic. They're a particular favorite for Northern Hemisphere viewers, though this shower can also be watched from tropical and subtropical latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere as well.
Find a dark, open sky far away from the harsh glare of city lights, lie down comfortably on a reclining lawn chair and enjoy the show.
You don't need to know the constellations. You don't need special equipment. Simply look up to watch Perseid meteors streaking the nighttime sky. Just remember, as seen from around the world, the most meteors will fall in the wee hours before dawn. Click here for tips on watching this year's Perseid shower.

From the Northern Hemisphere, you can see a smattering of Perseid meteors in the evening hours. The meteors tend to be few and far between at mid-evening, though this presents the best time of night to try to catch an earthgrazer – an elongated, long-lasting meteor that travels horizontally across the sky. Earthgrazers are rare but most memorable if you're lucky enough to spot one.
What if you're in the Southern Hemisphere? From the Southern Hemisphere, the first meteors – and possible earthgrazers – won't be flying until midnight or the wee hours of the morning.
In either the Northern or the Southern Hemisphere, the greatest number of meteors streak the sky in the few hours before dawn.

The paths of the Perseid meteors, when traced backward, appear to originate from the constellation Perseus. Hence, this meteor shower's name.
However, you don't have to know the constellation Perseus to watch the Perseid meteor shower, for the Perseids fly every which way across the starry heavens.
As viewed from the Northern Hemisphere, the radiant sits low in the northeast sky at evening and climbs upward throughout the night. The higher that the radiant is in your sky, the more Perseid meteors you're likely to see.
As viewed from the Southern Hemisphere, the radiant of the Perseid meteor shower never gets very high in the sky. Therefore, the number of Perseid meteors seen from this part of the world isn't as great as at more northerly latitudes. But if you're game, look northward in the wee hours before dawn and you may still see a sprinkling of Perseids.
How to find the radiant point for Perseid meteors
The earliest historical account of Perseid activity comes from a Chinese record in 36 AD, where it was said that "more than 100 meteors flew in the morning." Numerous references to the August Perseids appear in Chinese, Japanese and Korean records throughout the 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th centuries. Meanwhile, according to ancient western skylore, the Perseid shower commemorates the time when the god Zeus visited the mortal maiden Danae in the form of a shower of gold. Zeus and Danae became the parents of Perseus the Hero – from whose constellation the Perseid meteors radiate.
The Perseid meteors happen around this time every year, as Earth in its orbit crosses the orbital path of Comet Swift-Tuttle. Dusty debris left behind by this comet smashes into Earth's upper atmosphere, lighting up the nighttime as fiery Perseid meteors. The meteors start out slowly in the evening hours, begin to pick up steam after midnight and put out the greatest numbers in the dark hours before dawn.
The nice video above is also from 2014's shower, from the Sociedad de Astronomía del Caribe (Astronomical Society of the Caribbean).
Bottom line: The mornings around August 12 should be good as well, but we give the nod to this morning as the best time to watch 2016's Perseid meteor shower.

A course at Northwestern University teaches students about what makes a healthy relationship.
Research shows that practically every dimension of life happiness is influenced by the quality of one's marriage, while divorce is the second most stressful life event one can ever experience.
Yet nearly half of all married couples are likely to divorce, and many couples report feeling unhappy in their relationships. Instructors of Northwestern University's Marriage 101 class want to change that. The goal of their course is to help students have more fulfilling love relationships during their lives. In Marriage 101 popular books such as Mating in Captivity and For Better: The Science of a Good Marriage are interspersed with meaty academic studies. Students attend one lecture a week and then meet in smaller breakout groups to discuss the weekly topics, which range from infidelity to addiction, childrearing to sexuality in long-term relationships.
The virtues that Hillary Clinton identified in Tim Kaine are also the ones that have led her astray in the past.
In 2008, Barack Obama famously wanted a "team of rivals" in his administration. He began with his running mate, who was utterly unlike him. Obama was a political newcomer; Joe Biden was a Beltway veteran. Obama appealed to African Americans and upscale liberals; Biden appealed to blue collar whites. Obama was disciplined; Biden was unruly. Obama was cool; Biden was warm.
Hillary Clinton, by contrast, has chosen a male version of herself. Like Clinton, Tim Kaine is a culturally conservative liberal. He's a devout Catholic who personally opposes abortion despite believing it should be legal. For her part, Clinton is a devout Methodist—she's taught Sunday school, lectured on Methodist theology and participated in various prayer groups—who is personally skeptical of abortion, too. In 2005, she called it "a sad, even tragic choice to many, many women" and looked forward to the day when "the choice guaranteed under our Constitution either does not ever have to be exercised or only in very rare circumstances."
Biology textbooks tell us that lichens are alliances between two organisms—a fungus and an alga. They are wrong.
In 1995, if you had told Toby Spribille that he'd eventually overthrow a scientific idea that's been the stuff of textbooks for 150 years, he would have laughed at you. Back then, his life seemed constrained to a very different path. He was raised in a Montana trailer park, and home-schooled by what he now describes as a "fundamentalist cult." At a young age, he fell in love with science, but had no way of feeding that love. He longed to break away from his roots and get a proper education.
At 19, he got a job at a local forestry service. Within a few years, he had earned enough to leave home. His meager savings and non-existent grades meant that no American university would take him, so Spribille looked to Europe.
It's known as a modern-day hub of progressivism, but its past is one of exclusion.
PORTLAND, Ore.— Victor Pierce has worked on the assembly line of a Daimler Trucks North America plant here since 1994. But he says that in recent years he's experienced things that seem straight out of another time. White co-workers have challenged him to fights, mounted "hangman's nooses" around the factory, referred to him as "boy" on a daily basis, sabotaged his work station by hiding his tools, carved swastikas in the bathroom, and written the word "nigger" on walls in the factory, according to allegations filed in a complaint to the Multnomah County Circuit Court in February of 2015.
Pierce is one of six African Americans working in the Portland plant whom the lawyer Mark Morrell is representing in a series of lawsuits against Daimler Trucks North America. The cases have been combined and a trial is scheduled for January of 2017.
Why Millennials aren't buying cars or houses, and what that means for the economy
In 2009, Ford brought its new supermini, the Fiesta, over from Europe in a brave attempt to attract the attention of young Americans. It passed out 100 of the cars to influential bloggers for a free six-month test-drive, with just one condition: document your experience online, whether you love the Fiesta or hate it.
Young bloggers loved the car. Young drivers? Not so much. After a brief burst of excitement, in which Ford sold more than 90,000 units over 18 months, Fiesta sales plummeted. As of April 2012, they were down 30 percent from 2011.
Don't blame Ford. The company is trying to solve a puzzle that's bewildering every automaker in America: How do you sell cars to Millennials (a k a Generation Y)? The fact is, today's young people simply don't drive like their predecessors did. In 2010, adults between the ages of 21 and 34 bought just 27 percent of all new vehicles sold in America, down from the peak of 38 percent in 1985. Miles driven are down, too. Even the proportion of teenagers with a license fell, by 28 percent, between 1998 and 2008.
Delegates in Cleveland answer a nightmare question: Would they take four more years of Barack Obama over a Hillary Clinton presidency?
CLEVELAND—It was a question no Republican here wanted to contemplate.
The query alone elicited winces, scoffs, and more than a couple threats of suicide. "I would choose to shoot myself," one delegate from Texas replied. "You want cancer or a heart attack?" cracked another from North Carolina.
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have each been objects of near histrionic derision from Republicans for years (decades in Clinton's case), but never more so than during the four days of the GOP's national convention. Republicans onstage at Quicken Loans Arena and in the dozens of accompanying events have accused President Obama of literally destroying the country in his eight years in the White House. Speakers and delegates subjected Clinton to even harsher rhetoric, charging her with complicity in death and mayhem and then repeatedly chanting, "Lock her up!" from the convention floor.
A crop of books by disillusioned physicians reveals a corrosive doctor-patient relationship at the heart of our health-care crisis.
For someone in her 30s, I've spent a lot of time in doctors' offices and hospitals, shivering on exam tables in my open-to-the-front gown, recording my medical history on multiple forms, having enough blood drawn in little glass tubes to satisfy a thirsty vampire. In my early 20s, I contracted a disease that doctors were unable to identify for years—in fact, for about a decade they thought nothing was wrong with me—but that nonetheless led to multiple complications, requiring a succession of surgeries, emergency-room visits, and ultimately (when tests finally showed something was wrong) trips to specialists for MRIs and lots more testing. During the time I was ill and undiagnosed, I was also in and out of the hospital with my mother, who was being treated for metastatic cancer and was admitted twice in her final weeks.
Narcissism, disagreeableness, grandiosity—a psychologist investigates how Trump's extraordinary personality might shape his possible presidency.
In 2006, Donald Trump made plans to purchase the Menie Estate, near Aberdeen, Scotland, aiming to convert the dunes and grassland into a luxury golf resort. He and the estate's owner, Tom Griffin, sat down to discuss the transaction at the Cock & Bull restaurant. Griffin recalls that Trump was a hard-nosed negotiator, reluctant to give in on even the tiniest details. But, as Michael D'Antonio writes in his recent biography of Trump, Never Enough, Griffin's most vivid recollection of the evening pertains to the theatrics. It was as if the golden-haired guest sitting across the table were an actor playing a part on the London stage.
"It was Donald Trump playing Donald Trump," Griffin observed. There was something unreal about it.
Fulfilling what might be the Russian autocrat's dearest wish, Trump has openly questioned whether the U.S. should keep its commitments to NATO.
The Republican nominee for president, Donald J. Trump, has chosen this week to unmask himself as a de facto agent of Russian President Vladimir Putin, a KGB-trained dictator who seeks to rebuild the Soviet empire by undermining the free nations of Europe, marginalizing NATO, and ending America's reign as the world's sole superpower.
I am not suggesting that Donald Trump is employed by Putin—though his campaign manager, Paul Manafort, was for many years on the payroll of the Putin-backed former president of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych. I am arguing that Trump's understanding of America's role in the world aligns with Russia's geostrategic interests; that his critique of American democracy is in accord with the Kremlin's critique of American democracy; and that he shares numerous ideological and dispositional proclivities with Putin—for one thing, an obsession with the sort of "strength" often associated with dictators. Trump is making it clear that, as president, he would allow Russia to advance its hegemonic interests across Europe and the Middle East. His election would immediately trigger a wave of global instability—much worse than anything we are seeing today—because America's allies understand that Trump would likely dismantle the post-World War II U.S.-created international order. Many of these countries, feeling abandoned, would likely pursue nuclear weapons programs on their own, leading to a nightmare of proliferation.
Our telephone habits have changed, but so have the infrastructure and design of the handset.
One of the ironies of modern life is that everyone is glued to their phones, but nobody uses them as phones anymore. Not by choice, anyway. Phone calls—you know, where you put the thing up to your ear and speak to someone in real time—are becoming relics of a bygone era, the "phone" part of a smartphone turning vestigial as communication evolves, willingly or not, into data-oriented formats like text messaging and chat apps.
The distaste for telephony is especially acute among Millennials, who have come of age in a world of AIM and texting, then gchat and iMessage, but it's hardly limited to young people. When asked, people with a distaste for phone calls argue that they are presumptuous and intrusive, especially given alternative methods of contact that don't make unbidden demands for someone's undivided attention. In response, some have diagnosed a kind of telephoniphobia among this set. When even initiating phone calls is a problem—and even innocuous ones, like phoning the local Thai place to order takeout—then anxiety rather than habit may be to blame: When asynchronous, textual media like email or WhatsApp allow you to intricately craft every exchange, the improvisational nature of ordinary, live conversation can feel like an unfamiliar burden. Those in power sometimes think that this unease is a defect in need of remediation, while those supposedly afflicted by it say they are actually just fine, thanks very much.

Cats will finally close on Broadway, the "real life" match made on TV's "Who Wants to Marry a Multimillionaire?" has ended in annulment and welcome fiasco, and Arizona Senator John McCain's bid for the Republican presidential nomination is still alive. Who says there is no God?
Whatever one's politics or party affiliation, it is hard not to be encouraged, even inspired, by Senator McCain's victories last month in the Michigan and Arizona primaries. Only days after Texas Governor George W. Bush had rallied the Religious Right and other conservative Republicans to his cause and to victory in South Carolina, McCain triumphed in Michigan despite the strenuous efforts of the Republican party establishment to drive a stake through the heart of his "insurgency." Winning two-thirds of the votes of independents and Democrats in Michigan's open primary, McCain once again demonstrated that he possesses the kind of crossover appeal needed to win the White House. Bush, who rushed into the arms of the Reverend Pat Robertson and other social conservatives to secure a victory in South Carolina, must now extricate himself from the divisive politics of the right wing of his party. Catholics, it appears, were particularly offended by Bush's willingness to turn a blind eye to the anti-Catholic and racialist policies of Bob Jones University in South Carolina. It is clear that the swing voters who decide presidential elections-many...

I don't have a car, but I almost never hear complaints about it.
All around Rhodes does a great job with parking!
Parking is free, but the freshman are allowed to park explicitly in one lot on the very back corner of the school. Depending on where your dorm is this can be a pain, but once you're a sophomore or above you can park in whatever lot you like.
At Rhodes, freshmen are allowed to have cars. I personally don't have one, but I usually find a friend to drive me around. Next year I plan on bringing one to campus. I haven't heard anything about ticketing. I signed up for the ZipCar program they kept advertising and it was pretty bad. It is fairly expensive and there is a volume limit on the stereo, which is annoying.
Parking has become a nightmare as the school accepts a larger number of freshmen. Students try to get away with parking in the faculty/staff lots to be closer to their dorms and classes. I'm a commuter, and I have to leave home early just to ensure that I get a decent parking spot.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
As the freshman class increases each year, parking becomes more of an issue since Rhodes does not currently have plans to add another lot. The freshmen are only allowed to park in their own lot, which isn't too far from the dorms, unless you live in Bellingrath or Glassell, which are on the other side of campus. Students do complain that parking isn't the most convenient since spaces are rather far away from most major buildings on campus. Still, the problems are minimal, especially compared to those of a bigger school.
Not only are all students allowed to bring a car, but also, since the campus is so small, there isn't even a huge need to drive from class to class unless you're feeling extremely lazy. There aren't parking lots that are miles from the dorm rooms or ridiculous fines or parking decal expenses, either, and students feel pretty secure that their car won't get broken into if it's parked on campus (the same cannot always be said for those who decide to park on the street outside the gates, though).

Hello all! I am just curious if there are any other mamas out there who are currently breastfeeding after having a 'behind the muscle' augment. If so, have you experienced any difficulties with your supply? Or any other difficulties? Thank you so much for your time! :)
Breastfeeding after Augmentation behind the muscle
Posted 01/13/2013
Posted 01/13/2013
I have implants behind the muscle and am currently nursing my 3 month old (and pumping while I'm at work) with absolutely no problems!
Posted 01/13/2013
I have saline implants behind the muscle. I am still bfing at 6 months. I have had some supply issues. My baby was not getting enough milk so we had to supplement. Everything else has been fine. Something tells me I may have had these issues without implants. I have had pleanty of friends who have bf with implants and no issues.
Posted 01/13/2013
I had mine behind muscle and cannot tell a difference from before I had implants and nursed. I know many women and none have any issues.
Posted 01/13/2013
I nursed my DD prior to implants (behind the muscle) and am now nursing my 6 month old. I have had some issues with supple but they are most likely related to my thyroid and a few other hormone levels I am struggling with.

Hi! Yep i had implants & then had them removed. No probs breastfeeding (other than inverted nipple issue) not from implants tho. It was recommended to me to pump every 2 hours to help the supply & keep it plentiful.
Posted 01/14/2013
I have implants behind the muscle and have had no difficulties bf my LO. We'll make the 6 month milestone this week!
Posted 01/14/2013
Thank goodness I had this very same question but don't know how to post threads. These comments put my mind at ease because I am hoping beyond hope I can breastfeed my little guy.

What a great response. Thanks ladies! Sounds like everyone has made it work and most with no difficulties, that's good news :)

Where is your incision site? If your incision was around the areola, there is a possibility that you could have supply issues (but you might be fine). When an incision is made around the areola some of the milk ducts can be damaged. I have under the muscle saline implants with an armpit incision and I've thankfully never had supply issues.

I have two incisions. The implants were put in, in the crease but I also received a crescent lift at the top half of the areola. Thanks for the web address, I'll definitely check it out.

Configuring IIS 6.0 Web Service Extensions
Updated: August 22, 2005
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 with SP1
Many Web sites and applications that are hosted on IIS 6.0 have extended functionality beyond static Web pages, including the generation of dynamic content. Providing dynamic content and other enhanced capabilities requires executable code, such as ASP, ASP.NET, and ISAPI extensions. The handlers that extend IIS functionality beyond serving static pages are known as Web service extensions.
If you installed IIS 6.0 as described earlier in this section, all Web service extensions are disabled by default. If you used another method to install IIS 6.0, such as using Manage Your Server, the configuration of IIS might be different.
Enabling all of the Web service extensions ensures the highest possible compatibility with your Web sites. However, enabling all of the Web service extensions creates a security risk because it increases the attack surface of IIS by enabling functionality that might be unnecessary for your server.
Web service extensions allow you to enable and disable the serving of dynamic content. MIME typesallow you to enable and disable the serving of static content. For more information about enabling and disabling the serving of static content, see Configuring MIME Types later in this section.
|If the appropriate Web service extension is not enabled, the Web server returns a 404 error to the client when attempting to serve the dynamic content. When the 404 error is returned as a result of a Web service extension not being enabled, a 404.2 error entry is placed in the IIS log. For more information about troubleshooting IIS 6.0, see Troubleshooting in IIS 6.0.
Configure the Web service extensions by completing the following steps:
Enable the essential predefined Web service extensions based on the information in Table 6.3.
Table 6.3 Predefined Web Service Extensions
Web Service Extension Description
Active Server Pages
Enable this extension when one or more of the Web sites or applications contains ASP content.
ASP.NET version 1.1.4322
Enable this extension when one or more of the Web sites or applications contains ASP.NET content.
FrontPage Server Extensions 2002
Enable this extension when one or more of the Web sites are FrontPage extended.
Internet Data Connector
Enable this extension when one or more of the Web sites or applications uses the Internet Data Connector (IDC) to display database information (content includes .idc and .idx files).
Server-Side Includes
Enable this extension when one or more of the Web sites uses server-side include (SSI) directives to instruct the Web server to insert various types of content into a Web page.
Enable this extension when you want to support Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) on the Web server, but it is not recommended for dedicated Web servers.
For each Web service extension that is used by your applications and is not a one of the default Web service extensions, add a new entry to the Web service extensions list and configure the status of the new entry to Allowed.
For example, one of your applications might use an ISAPI extension to provide access to a proprietary database. Set the ISAPI extension used by the application to Allowed to explicitly grant it permission to run. For information about how to add a Web service extension to the list, see Configure Web Service Extensions.
Use a Web browser on a client computer to verify that the Web sites and applications run on the server.

I am about to start up an extensive Star Wars information site. It is basically going to be a huge database of Star Wars collectibles with what I envision as a page for each item featuring pictures, description, etc... for the item.
What do you guys think would be the best way to attack this idea? I want something that will also automatically link back to other similar items. For instance, if it is a Han Solo action figure, there would be a link somewhere on the page linking you to every other page/entry that features the character.
Any ideas or someone out there running something similar and willing to share notes?
Thanks for any and all help.

Woman charged in purse snatching case
BURLINGTON A 37-year-old woman is facing charges stemming from a purse snatching incident at a Burlington store and police say she is a suspect in a number of similar cases.
Burlington police say Amanda Downing was arrested Monday after a Sunday incident in which she allegedly took a purse from a patron in a Burlington store. The victim alerted store employees and another patron retrieved the purse.
The investigation led to Downing and she was arrested Monday.
Burlington police say Downing was also being investigated by other area police departments for similar thefts. The Waterbury, Winooski, Essex, and Colchester police departments assisted in the investigation.
Downing is being held for lack of $10,000 bail.MORE IN This Just In

Even her son? Try that scenario and it gets shot straight down. So i guess it's not even in the realm of possibilty?Anna Nicole Smith was a flaming lesbian for much of her youth, even while stripping at Gigi's, and the Bravo channel showed pix and videos of her behaving very agressively with women, kissing them on the mouth, hanging all over them. She also hired one woman as an assistant who was her lesbian lover (and clearly the male in the relationship) and they are shown together in the special report. I think she was all over the map sexually, and when stoned out of her mind, no telling who she slept with.

Hey Mark - have you ever read Leviticus? You are, after all, the dude that endlessly calls himself a "Christian" before all who read.
Now, I don't really think being queer is "bad" in the classical sense, as I think they're born that way too, but the book of Leviticus states that homosexuality is an "abomination" unto the "Lord".
Leviticus is a part of the Christian Bible, one of the five books of Moses. It is considered cannonical, and is accepted by all Christians as the "Word of God".
How do you reconcile the admonitions put forth in Leviticus with your "Christianity"?
I will speculate that you simply ignore the book of Leviticus, am I correct in that assumption?
Since: Mar 07
#8 Mar 4, 2007
so what? Do you feel you missed out on something? What's it to ya?
#10 Mar 4, 2007
I don't take any of that religious garbage into account, Mark. All "holy books" were composed by men, not gods.
You however, as a "Christian", are supposed to accept the tenets put forth in the Bible, otherwise, you are NOT a "Christian".
Lesbianism, fornication, hypocrisy, avarice, greed, and the abuse of one's body are considered sins, according to Christian doctrine.
Anna Nicole, apparently, was an aficionado of all of the above, according to the media.
From your words, according to your own Bible, the denial of those doctrines makes you a hypocrite. You call yourself a Christian, yet you "pick and choose" from your "holy book".
Very typical.
It doesn't matter though, as your god is imaginary, like all gods are.
#12 Mar 5, 2007
Yeah yeah, post crap like OMG for effect, but not cogent rebuttals to my pointed remarks.
Very typical, indeed, you hypocrite.
#14 Mar 5, 2007
What's the matter, Christian pretender? Can't defend your anti-Christian remarks?
You know, that lesbianism is alright with Jesus, as is fornication, or greed, or bastardy?
Jesus Christ himself would have said to YOU, Mark - "Get thee hence from me, oh son of Satan, for you are neither hot nor cold, I spew thee from my mouth!"
- From the "Church of Laodicea".
READ your Bible.

Seems lots of people have more bad than good to say. That only proves how miserable they themselves are. Live and let live.

So many people sue others for sexual harassment and what comes after that is usually false imprisoment (makes the suit more appealing for more $$$$) on the drop of a dime. And 99% of them are liars. I can say that because my brother is an attorney and you won't believe the number of sexual harassment cases that come to him and it's always someone without suing someone who has lots of $$$$$$$$.
Doesn't really matter what she was or what she did, that's between her and her maker.

You obviously get your info from the gossip media. My info comes from a very good freind in Palm Desert, CA who knew AN when she worked for Guess Jeans. The only suit was for her martial right to half of her HUSBAND'S (J.H.Marshall's)fortune. There isn't a woman alive who would allow the son/daughter of her husband to screw her out of what is rightfully her, HALF! As for the house in the Bahamas, again, we really don't know what exactly was the agreement. As for the nanny suing and winning, I have to check into that. Nevertheless, many have been put away who are innocent and many have paid when they shouldn't have.
Don't hate AN because she came from nothing and made something out of her life. Good, bad or indifferent, she was munching on Caviar while you and many others were eating bread and butter. She was shopping on Rodeo Drive while you and others were shopping at Kmart. Don't hate a woman becasue she did what she had to do to make a dream of hers come true. Everyone has dreams, some go after them and then....others just sit and dream some more in their little houses and little apartments and they're not as happy or together as they want the world to think.
Don't hate this woman because, you really don't know who she really was. Gossip and the media play up...As for the lawsuit with the Marshall's, she deserved half at the very least. We were all on the outside and only saw bits and pieces of what we wanted to see, you don't know what her arrangement or feelings really were. She took his ashes to her grave. Maybe he was the only adult to give her what she really needed and didn't get from he parents. Acceptance, to be spoiled rotten! AND she should have been! We just don't know.

Oooooh, Kat BS is on a rampage now! The squaw is on the warpath. Everybody duck and cover. LOL
That "harder and rougher and nastier" comment is strange. Maybe she is confusing her posting with her sex life. LOL
I think she is sick and needs help. Somebody call a shrink. She clearly has delusions of grandeur coupled with sado-masochistic tendencies.

Plus size Coast Microfiber down/feather blend parka
By May
from Atlanta,Mi
My first orange coat was last time I had one extra large was too big now that I wear for almost 10 year "wear out".. Second same coat I brought as same as my orange coat.. I love my new med size navy coat still stay warm evenly zero weather.. I had been lose a lot of weight..
i like this jacket
By penniekc
from canton,Ohio
I like the coat, but since it's so late in the season I only wore it once, and then I didn't really need a coat that big, but wore it to try it out. I like it, but since I only wore it once and the temperatures weren't that cold I can't really attest to how warm it will be in really cold temps, or how it will hold up. although it does appear to be well-made.
poor fit

would not recommend. Sent it back and haven't received refund yet
Not as warm as I had hoped
By Crys
from Boothbay Harbor, Maine
The coat is ok if it's not too cold. We had a really cold spell, and I was still cold with two sweaters under it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Long time customer of down
By Wiconsinite
from Wisconsin
I love this down coat because it is windproof and warm in the blustery winter weather of Wisconsin. My coat is not too hot indoors like other non-down jackets I've owned. I have owened several down coats and will continue to own one one because of its versitility. The only thing I wish for is a double zipper. Becaue I am in a wheelchair the coat bunches up. Otherwise I find this a geat buy.
nice and warm
By NiKi
from Pa
I bought it because I needed a new winter coat. I like it, except the size was to big, compared to my other winter coat which was the same size. The material collects everything dust, lint, animal hair. I have to keep taking the lint roller to it. Other wise it is nice
Wonderful for cold weather

My coach has already given me a month-long four day program. Basically, I do C&J or snatches, then clean or snatch pulls, then front or back squats, then an assistance exercise or two. I'm keeping the C&J and snatches light to work technique and because my shoulder's slightly injured, but I push the pulls a little harder and the squats and assistance exercises much harder.
I'd like to follow the program my coach has drawn up for me, so how would I integrate SS into it? Would I still do the SS squats, and just be squatting A LOT? Should I do SS the same day as my lifting days, or try to stagger them while taking a day of rest (this seems like I wouldn't get enough rest)?
My goal is to be dropped out of a plane to singlehandedly take out an invading alien force, a la the Hulk in the Marvel Ultimate universe. That would be
pretty neat.

Use of a performance algorithm improves utilization of vertebral fracture assessment in clinical practice

A performance algorithm can be successfully used by bone density technologists at the time of a bone density test to identify patients with an indication for vertebral fracture assessment (VFA). Doing so appropriately increases physician prescription of fracture prevention medication.
Densitometric spine imaging (vertebral fracture assessment, VFA) can identify prevalent vertebral fracture but is underutilized. We developed an algorithm by which DXA technologists identify patients for whom VFA should be performed. Following this algorithm, VFA was performed in patients whose lowest T-score (lumbar spine, total hip, or femoral neck) was between −1.5 and −2.4 inclusive and with one of the following: age, ≥65 years; height loss, ≥1.5 in.; or current systemic glucocorticoid therapy. Our main objectives were to assess change in VFA utilization at two other healthcare organizations after algorithm implementation, and to estimate the association of VFA results with prescription of fracture prevention medication.
The proportions of patients with an indication for VFA who had one performed before and after algorithm implementation were compared. Logistic regression was used to estimate the multivariable-adjusted association of VFA results with subsequent prescription of fracture prevention medication adjusted for healthcare organization (study site).
After algorithm introduction, appropriate VFA use rose significantly Patients with a VFA positive for vertebral fracture had an odds ratio of 3.2 (95 % C.I., 2.1–5.1) for being prescribed new fracture prevention medication, adjusted for age, sex, prior clinical fracture, use of glucocorticoid medication, femoral neck bone mineral density T-score, and study site.
An algorithm to identify those for whom VFA is indicated can successfully be implemented by DXA technologists. Documentation of vertebral fracture increases prescription of fracture prevention medication for patients who otherwise lack an apparent indication for such therapy.

In this paper I will provide an overview of our findings from studying irrigation systems in the field so that readers who are not familiar with our prior research gain at least an initial sense of these findings. I will provide a second short overview —this time of the institutional analysis and development (IAD) framework offering a general method for doing institutional analysis. I will then introduce the possibility of looking at the change of rules as an evolutionary process. The method for studying the evolution of rules will be based on the IAD framework and on our long-term study of rules related to irrigation systems. In the conclusion, I return to the question as to why it is important to authorize resource users' relative autonomy in the development of their own rules and to learn from the resulting institutional diversity.

So the specific part of my program looks like this:
printf("Please input command:\n>");
While 1 {
if ((int c = read(STDIN_FILENO, input, Buffer_size) == 0) {
rest of the program uses strtok to break the input
down and store in array. Then pass it to a function which checks for
various commands and prints whatever was the command
suppose to do or gives syntax error for incorrect commands
printf(">"); //last line
So here's what happens:
Please input command:
addperson Batman
>person added
Error: incorrect syntax
For some reason it doesn't print: ">". Also everytime I enter anything after that it says the same thing always even with right commands.
But if I use this:
printf("Please input command:\n>");
while 1 {
if (fgets(input, Buffer_size, stdin) == NULL) {
I get:
Please input command:
> add_person Batman
person added
> blahbagwa
Incorrect syntax
> add_person Superman
person added
Notice how ">" appears in each output? I don't really know why read isn't working properly; perhaps my understand of read isn't very good. Does anyone have any idea?

Cast: Ariana Feitosa, Carla Novais, Ana Paula, Lorena Gattelli, Elisa Lukese
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Specialty
Filler for trans area.
This title features five different she-males getting it on with guys in a run-of-the-mill she-male fucking and sucking title. You've got big hard cocks under frilly little skirts, chicks with dicks, the whole deal. You've got all of your classic porn fucking positions adapted for maximum she-male exposure, such as jacking off during reverse cowgirl or close-ups on two bouncing sets of balls during doggie.
Everyone's going bareback in this title, which is part of a traditionally condom-only genre. The lack of condoms, however, doesn't really make up for the lack of enthusiasm. Most people look rather bored and the fucking is rather pedestrian with the exception of a few moments of passion. Not a bad filler title for the trans genre though.

Beautiful plugin, but unfortunately it seem that the developer wants you to buy the upgrade version. There is no way to set the clock for any given time. It is preset for one hour only.
IMO it is totally worthless if it only last for one hour.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - The Oklahoma Transportation Commission has
approved a $4 billion, eight-year construction plan that includes work on 563 bridges.
According to the Oklahoma Department of Transportation, the proposal announced at Tuesday's meeting also includes more than 446 miles of shoulder and other upgrades to two-lane roads and $1.9 billion in improvements to major highways.
Transportation Secretary Gary Ridley says there are 109 more bridges in this year's proposal than in last and the work on them will cost about $260 million. Ridley says the work would help ease Oklahoma's deteriorating bridge situation.
As of 2008, Oklahoma had about 5,680 bridges that require significant maintenance, repairs or replacement.
Ridley believes it will take 12 to 15 years to alleviate the problem.
