Who are you rooting for in this year's Super Bowl? Find out who your favorite celebrities are putting their money on...
Donald Trump: businessman, "The Apprentice" 49ers, 24-21. Great defense.
Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., minority leader
Danica Patrick, race-car driver Ravens 34-24: Going to be an exciting game ...I'm going to be pulling for the Ravens since GoDaddy's founder, Bob Parsons, is from Baltimore!
Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., incoming U.S. Secretary of State 49ers, 27-21: As a Patriots fan, part of me wishes they could both lose. But I have to move on.
Adam West, actor, "Batman" 49ers, 24-21: This may be west coast wishful thinking but I think it'll finish 24 to 21 favor of the Niners.
Emmitt Smith, NFL Hall of Famer 49ers, 31-21: QB Colin Kaepernick's athletic ability is key. The Ravens D will put up a good fight, but it will be tough to keep up.
Dick Vitale, sportscaster Ravens, 24-21: I like their toughness. Kaepernick has got that ability to run, to throw. He's going to be a phenom eventually. I love what they're about.
Sonja Sohn, actress, "The Wire" Ravens, 24-17: Do you even have to ask? The Ravens all the way, of course.
Pat Robertson, reverend; 2008 Super Sage Award winner 49ers, 35-27: My heart goes with the Ravens, but I believe the 49ers have too many star linemen for Baltimore to prevail.
Don Rickles, comedian Ravens, 28-14: The Ravens' energy seems to be peaking at the right time and the fact that it's Ray Lewis' farewell will give them great motivation.
Jodi Picoult, author 49ers, 35-28: Baltimore will be playing with a lot of emotion, but San Fran has more weapons!
Arnold Palmer, Hall of Fame golfer; 2003 Super Sage Award winner Ravens, 28-17: Baltimore has a pretty good defense.
Haley Joel Osment, actor; has picked 12 of the last 13 Super Bowl winners, missing only in 2008 49ers, 28-24: San Francisco's recovery from a 17-point deficit last week convinced me that they have the will to pull out a victory down the stretch.
Ted McGinley, actor 49ers, 24-17: Ray Lewis is an interesting story. Can Ray go out on top? I don't think so. (Coach Jim) Harbaugh had the guts to make a quarterback change midseason.
Branford Marsalis, musician Ravens, 27-14: My pick will be the Ravens. I think they have consistently played well on both sides of the ball; and Ray Lewis' retirement has them playing with even more energy.
Mike Malinin, musician, Goo Goo Dolls Ravens, 17-14: I'm hoping the Ravens are going to win.
John Leguizamo, actor Ravens, 23-17: I'm going to go with the Ravens
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., environmental activist 49ers, 24-14: Because they are a slightly better team.
Sheila Kelley, actress, "Gossip Girl" Ravens, 27-21: I'm going to have to go with the city my man was born in, Baltimore! Say hey for the blackbirds!
Ted Giannoulas, San Diego chicken 49ers, 38-29 Sorry Ravens, my birdbrain says Niners win 38-29. (Colin) Kaepernick is a confounding difference maker. His offensive line also has the brawn and brains to grind down Baltimore's defense.
Josh Gad, actor, "1600 Penn" Ravens, 27-23: If you look at Marty McFly's Almanac from "Back to the Future 2," it's already written in stone.
Mark Cuban, owner, Dallas Mavericks 49ers, 28-16: Because I hate the Ravens just like every kid from Pittsburgh does.
Josh Charles, actor, "The Good Wife" Ravens, 27-24: It will be a hard-hitting, extremely physical game that could go down to the wire. If the Ravens' offensive line gives Joe Flacco enough protection, I believe he will continue to make big plays.
Shane Battier, basketball player, Miami Heat 49ers, 27-20: I think that the San Francisco 49ers will be Super Bowl champions by a score of 27-20. No one has figured out the read-option offense from the Pistol formation of the 49ers.
Roseanne Barr, comedian/actor 49ers, 31-27: The impartial hardcore NFL analyst "app" in my brain says: 49ers, 31, Ravens, 27. But, hey, I'm no expert; so don't bet the ranch!
Scott Adams, cartoonist, "Dilbert" 49ers, 49-nevermore: As always, I make my picks based on the names of the teams. I predict that San Francisco will win by a score of 49 to nevermore. I'll let you know where to send that trophy after I win.
Bill O'Reilly, Fox News host 49ers, 24-17: 49ers' offense will move the ball and control the clock. Ravens will turn the ball over twice.
Jordyn Wieber, Olympic gymnast 49ers, 34-24: I predict that the San Francisco 49ers will win the Super Bowl this year because they have more passion and focus than the Baltimore Ravens.
Barry Williams, Greg Brady in "The Brady Bunch" 49ers, 31-17: The sentimental favorite is Baltimore because of retiring linebacker Ray Lewis. The odds are San Fran will win because of the legs and arm of QB Kaepernick.
Scott Turow, author Ravens, 23-20: A) Ray Lewis will have his team ready to play. B) The team with the most former Cubs always loses -- only (49ers quarterback Colin) Kaepernick qualifies. C) It's always tough to beat your big brother.
Martin Schulz, European Parliament president 49ers, 24-14: It's a view from Europe. I think it will be a great match where experience will count. The 49ers will drive home advantage in 4th quarter. Both teams had a brilliant season.
Joe Mantegna, actor, "Criminal Minds;" 2010 Super Sage Award winner 49ers, 31-28: 49ers beat the Ravens 31 to 28. I favor Jim Harbaugh because he's a former Chicago Bear, and that's as close as we Bear fans are going to get this year.
Bill Nye the Science Guy Ravens, 31-24: The Ravens are more explosive; they pass more. They hit a little harder than the 49ers; they will create a couple of big plays on both sides of the ball.
Jenna Elfman, actress, "1600 Penn" Ravens, 29-23: Probably the Ravens, which would be nice for Ray Lewis to go out that way. My 2-year-old son made the prediction.
Miss America, Mallory Hagan Ravens, 24-14
Leroy Chiao, astronaut 49ers, 28-21: I followed the Niners back in the glory days of the '80s. It's time.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, actor/former California governor 49ers, 27-23: Got to go with California this year!

More than 150 Women Have Signed Up to Mentor Girls in Chicago Away from Sex, Diseases, Pregnancy and Hopelessness
The Black Angel Network, Afrika Enterprises, 100 Concerned Women in Action, the Black Star Community PTA and The Black Star Project lead the way.
Robeson Pregnancy Rate Prompts Mentoring Effort
Kristyn Hartman
Chicago (CBS), October 26, 2009 - Sometimes a story serves as a call to action.
After CBS 2 reported 115 girls out of 800 at Robeson High School in Englewood were pregnant or already had babies, women in the community decided to do something. They say they're responding to a crisis situation, and they think their knowledge will be power. So they're taking their wisdom into schools to walk with young girls on the path to adulthood.
They want to show them there's a world of possibilities for them beyond young motherhood.
One of the schools that's welcoming them is Benjamin E. Mays Academy.
Its principal, Patricia McCann, saw the story about Robeson's situation.
"It made me a little sad," she said.
She commends Robeson's principal for working with the girls. But because it's so hard, she says preventive measures are also important.
"Let's try not to let 'em get in that position," McCann said.
Phillip Jackson, executive director of the Black Star Project, is working to get them the info they need. His project sent our story to thousands of women, with a call for mentors.
It turns out, women are answering that call. Many of them filled a room tonight.
More than 123 women have volunteered with The Black Star Project, The Black Angel Network, Afrika Enterprises, 100 Concerend Women in Action and the Black Star Community PTA to mentor young girls.
"We have a crisis in our community," Sherrie Phillips said. "We must stand up and go out there and do something about it."
They want to show young ladies the way. Their work will target grade school girls. Their mission: To send prevention messages.
"I'll tell 'em you have to be yourself," volunteer Jinnie Rogers said. "You don't have to do anything you don't want to do. Use protection if you're not going to use abstinence."
They say getting the word out early is better because by high school, sometimes it's too late.
Principal McCann has seen that in the neighborhood.
"They have a backpack and a baby, and they're trying to do all that," she said.
She says it is a tough road they don't have to take. It's why she's welcoming the mentors to her own Benjamin Mays Academy, a Robeson feeder school.
The Black Star Project hopes to have enough mentors to expand beyond Robeson and the South Side. It's calling on men to get involved, too.
If you'd like to help, call the Black Star Project at 773-285-9600.

"50th Wedding Anniversary GOLD PLATE"
By Gina Carbonara
Comments: We received GOLD PLATE in excellent shipping condition and everything was spelled correctly too. Only minor issue we noticed there is a "slight" reddish hue in center of plate but still we are happy with product overall.
"I could not ask for better service!"
By Paul Tolve
Comments: I just received the 50th Anniversary Gold plate. It is absolutely what I expected. It was delivered promptly and is in perfect condition. I have to mention that I had a problem ordering on my mobile device. I called the Customer Service line and the issue was cleared up immediately. Thank you so much! I will add one suggestion: for orders that can be shelf OR wall mounted, maybe offer either as an option. This product was not advertised with a wall mount, but need to get one.
"Excellent quality and service"
By Janet M
Comments: I ordered this plate for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary, and they were so touched! We were thrilled with the quality (it's really beautiful), the fact that we could create the wording we wanted engraved, and ordering it could not have been easier. I ordered expedited service, and it arrived even sooner than expected! I would definitely recommend this product and this company.
"Above expectations"
By Joshua Holden
Comments: I was impressed with the reviews before purchase, so I will reiterate that this is an excellent item. I was thankful for the modifications in message for a 50th Year in Business with my hand selected scripture. You can modify any of the message! It is beautiful folks!
"Great Customer Service"
By Glenn Fudge
Comments: I purchased the 50th Anv. gold plate and got the date wrong... Memorable Gifts gave me a discount on the corrected order and free shipping.. Great Customer Service!!!

Sometimes called kinnick kinnick, Which is a word from Algonquin meaning "what is mixed", Kinnick kinnick was any of a number of herbs used for the mixture put into the sacred pipe. These days most folks refer to the herb Uva ursi as kinnick kinnick, but that is because it is commonly used in pipe mixtures. Our Sacred Pipe Blend is made from herbs that are large enough pieces that they do not clog the pipe. Our Blend isn't too "dusty," and doesn't tend to clog pipes like finely ground mixtures.

Recruiting Recap: Top 50 Rising Seniors
Geoff Shannon - 8/13/2008
IL is taking a look back this week at the summer that was, leading up to the release of our annual recruiting issue next week. today, we look at the top rising senior classes for both men and women. Tomorrow features the best junior players in the land and Friday will wrap up with the release of the Power 100 men's recruits, Top 25 women's recruits and the Top 10 classes for both genders heading into their first college season. This summer was, as always, a full and exciting recruiting season, highlighted by the third annual Under Armour All America Classic, adidas National Lacrosse Classic, NDP tournaments, Champ Camp, Showtime, Blue Chip and too many others to mention. The microscope was on in a big way, and some players' stock rose, some fell and others finally got noticed by their target schools. Remember, this is only a list of who wound up ranked in the top eschelon of their respective classes. For the full analysis of the top recruits, pick up a copy of the magazine!

text: Prof. Richard PildesRichard Pildes, a member of the faculty at New York University School of Law, is one of the nation's leading scholars of public law and a specialist in legal issues affecting democracy. In the area of democracy, Pildes, along with the co-authors of his acclaimed casebook, The Law of Democracy: Legal Structure of the Political Process (now in its second edition), has helped to create a new field of study in the law schools. While issues of democracy have been in the background of many public-law courses, The Law of Democracy systematically explores issues of democratic theory in the concrete institutional, policy, and doctrinal settings in which they have arisen historically: issues such as the right to vote, the role of direct democracy, the appropriate role of political parties, the financing of democratic elections, and the representation of minority interests in democratic institutions. Pildes is widely considered one of the nation's leading scholars on such topics as the Voting Rights Act, alternative voting systems (such as cumulative voting), the history of disfranchisement in the United States, and the general relationship between constitutional law and democratic politics in the design of democratic institutions themselves. Respect for his expertise in these areas is reflected in frequent citations of his work in United States Supreme Court opinions, the publication of his work in several languages, and his frequent public lectures and appearances, including his nomination for an Emmy Award for his legal analysis during the 2000 Presidential election litigation.

One Broken Arm Later: Nate Burleson's Pizza Vs. DiGiorno (It's Not Delivery)
|Probably not. Unless he was the one delivering it. In which case, his agent's gotta get him a new contract.
|Not...sure. If only there was some resource to tell us whether or not DiGiorno was delivered or not.
|One would assume "low", but, well, here we are.
|Level of Risk?
|Burned tongue; crippling diarrhea
|Worst Risk of Injury?
|An arm shattered in two places, apparently.
|November, best case scenario
|Ready for action after consumption?
|The next day, unless he went heavy on the red pepper flakes.
|MAYbe...he got the pizza from an establishment owned by a Packers fan!
|Conspiracy Theory Moment?
|MAYbe...it actually IS delivery! Wait, who cares?
|Depends. Was it meat lovers?
|Worth crashing a car over?
|Heavens, I can't imagine.

College of Engineering
Humans are dependent on resources drawn from the environment, and can be adversely impacted by a degraded environment. The environmental and ecological engineering (EEE) program is focused on responding to environmental challenges and opportunities such as improving drinking water quality; controlling, treating, and mitigating waste streams; remediating contaminated sites; recovering value from waste streams; optimizing resource conservation; and implementing pollution prevention.
EEE focuses on recognizing the dynamic and interacting nature of urban, industrial, agricultural and natural ecosystems from an integrated, holistic systems perspective. Our unique approach embraces: i) methods to rehabilitate and restore contaminated sites/media, ii) technologies to manage and control waste streams, and iii) approaches to design and operate engineered systems to avoid or minimize environmental problems. Graduates may pursue careers in engineering firms, consulting companies, industrial corporations, government agencies, and non-governmental organizations, or continue their studies in graduate or professional schools.

Recent library events, news and more.
There are lots of fun things to do at Kalamazoo Public Library locations during Spring Break. If you're at the Central Library and want to borrow child/family movies and music, come to the Children's Room. That's where those materials are now located. Maybe you've been wondering what those lullabye renditions of Michael Jackson music sound like. Or maybe it's time to see how Danny Devito voiced The Lorax. Or revisit that beautiful Carl and Ellie sequence from Up. You'll find something that you'll enjoy in this collection and you'll be able to check it out at the kiosk in the Children's Room, too. And while you'll be able to find Dr. Seuss books in the Children's Room, you'll want to go to the lower level to find Thriller and The Wiz. You'll find lots of movie musicals and documentaries that make great family viewing in the lower level, too!
We're seeing more and more dads in the Children's Room, as they bring their kids to storytime, choose books to take home, and share in the fun of playing with toys in the Story Place.
As more dads take on caregiver responsibilities, we are glad to see more parenting books written just for them. A Dad's Guide to Childcare is one that I like. It's practical, has clear photos that illustrate step-by-step processes, and even addresses difficult situations that may come up.
As part of the renovation of the Central Library Children's Room, we've added some more Parenting books to our shelves. If you're looking for books about parenting children from birth to 5 years, you can now find those books in the Children's Room. We'd be glad to help you find the books that are just right for your family.
1,000 Books Before Kindergarten is an exciting new program at Kalamazoo Public Library for all children from birth to entering Kindergarten. It's super simple, self paced, and provides a way for your child to earn a prize for every 50 books you read aloud to her and then a gift and certificate of completion when you reach 1,000 books. More important, since reading aloud to your child is the best way to prepare for kindergarten, 1,000 Before Kindergarten is a way for you to do just that - read lots of books with your child!
A parent asked me if the books she reads to her child for 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten need to be library books. They do not. While Kalamazoo Public Library certainly has many thousands of books we can all share together with our preschool aged children, you might find yourself reading a book aloud to your child that you found at the Friends bookstore or that was passed along to you or purchased elsewhere. Of course this is just great! And the way you read the books is also completely up to you. Some books are made to be sung to your child. Other books benefit from the animal sounds you supply. There is a whole world of fun to be had reading to our children.
It's easy to sign up at the any KPL location. Learn more about 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten at KPL and continue down the road to Kindergarten. And if you're in the mood for a fun read aloud that will help you think ahead to Springtime, check out 999 Frogs Wake Up.
The newly renovated Children's Room is open and ready for you to explore! There are many exciting new features including a parenting section, folk and fairy tales highlighted in the Alice in Wonderland Room, and more display space for new Fiction, new Non-fiction, and new Picture Books.
The Story Place has room for Lego at the Library, story time programs, and more. I hope you'll take time to come in and see the new Children's Room over the holiday break.
If you've been on the second floor of Central Library recently, you've seen some signs of renovation. Soon, some of that work will move to the first floor Children's Room. Yes, we'll soon see some changes that will support our new emphasis as a Family Place Library. That designation will align us with over 300 libraries in 23 states which have made a commitment to serving families with children from birth to age 5. Here's the website: http://www.familyplacelibraries.org/.
What makes a Family Place Library special? Here are the core components:
Here at KPL, we're just getting started on implementing Family Place Libraries. One of the most exciting projects is expanding the space in Children's Room at Central Library so that we have more room to play! Soon, you'll see a brand-new Activity Room open, the Story Room will lose one of its walls, and some things will be re-arranged. We're excited about this time of growth and hope that you'll be a part of our development as a Family Place Library!
This is what a Monarch caterpillar looks like when it's ready to morph from a caterpillar into a butterfly. This animal has already been alive for several weeks. As in the Eric Carle book The Very Hungry Caterpillar, it began as a little egg laid on a leaf. The egg was laid by a Monarch butterfly. Then, after the caterpillar hatched from the egg, it got bigger and bigger as it munched on milkweed in its caterpillar form until a few days ago when it climbed up high to hang so that it could turn into a chrysalis. A few weeks after it morphs into a chrysalis, it will emerge in butterfly form. Then, it will be able to lay eggs that will hatch into very tiny Monarch caterpillars.
Have you seen very many Monarch butterflies this summer? I have not. I'm told Monarchs have had a difficult time migrating northward. Maybe you'll come to the library to check in on the chrysalis and borrow some books about butterflies.
Urban Fiction writer, Earl Sewell, will be at Alma Powell Library July 30 at 6:00 pm. Mr. Sewell is not only an urban fiction writer but he also writes a series of teen books for Kimani Tru. I've read a couple from his teen series called Keysha's drama series. I enjoyed Maya's Choiceand If I were your boyfriend. One of the things I liked about Mr. Sewell's teen books is that they are very diverse and culture wise. Many teens would find a lot to identify with, if not for themselves then for some of their friends. Mr. Sewell addresses a great deal of the challenges young people face today. In Maya's Choice Maya's cousin, Viviana, moves in and it makes life difficult for Maya and her life begins to fall apart. In If I were your boyfriend Keysha has a lot to learn and life changing decisions to make.
If you're a urban fiction lover or like teen books that are full of life challenges then please join us to meet and hear from our guest Earl Sewell.
The Kalamazoo Public Schools 2013 Summer Reading lists are a great place to get reading suggestions to read twenty minutes or more per day. The lists are arranged by the grade students to which students are "rising" when school starts in the fall. These titles are great choices for Summer Reading or any time of year, but they are just the tip of the iceberg. Looking for more great summer reading ideas? Come visit! We'll be glad to see you! Don't forget to check in for Summer Reading Games with your gameboard or get signed up if you haven't already!
The Kalamazoo Public Library is celebrating the Earth with a variety of programs for all ages in the coming weeks. This afternoon at Oshtemo, tweens and teens can make crafts from recycled items. On Saturday, also at Oshtemo, join us for a family-friendly outdoor concert with the Earthwork Music Collective. The Kalamazoo chapter of the American Chemical Society will be at the event to talk about the impact chemistry has on the planet, and the Organic Gypsy will sell delicious food from her truck. You can learn to make your own green, nontoxic cleaning products at Eastwood on April 23, and learn how to make compost for your garden on April 30 at Powell. KPL's librarians will be at the People's Food Co-op on April 27 to read stories for Grow It Yourself Day.
What are you doing to celebrate Earth Day?
Inspired by Sarah Weeks's book Pie, these young cooks are building a lattice crust with some help from their mom. Kids love to eat. And kids want to help create the food they eat. Plenty of practical kitchen skills can be learned and practiced when you share kitchen duties with the kids. Have a satisfying time in the kitchen by meeting children's interests where they already have skills and then extending just a little bit. A three year old is often content to dump some dry ingredients into a mixing bowl whereas a seven year old is likely able to interpret meaning from a recipe, measure ingredients with scoops and scale, prepare a salad, and prepare many elements of a meal to be proud of. Of course, it's best to hold onto potentially hazardous kitchen tasks involving high heat and knife skills until children are ready.
Your library has lots of cookbooks for children and their adults to use together. Some popular favorites include the Green Eggs and Ham Cookbook, the Little House Cookbook, the Around the World Cookbook, and Vegan Lunch Box among many others. Chop Chop is an excellent magazine about cooking for kids and families. Share kitchen tasks with the kids for memorable times in the kitchen and an even more delicious dinner.

Read more about Kuching
Kuching is the capital of the Malaysian Borneo state of Sarawak. Situated in eastern Sarawak, it is the most populous of all the cities in the state and, arguably, also the best place to be a tourist in the whole of Malaysia, due to its size, quality of accommodation, daytrips and museums.
There is a very distinctive colonial feel to Kuching that can often whisk you away to a balmy night walk along the Seine in Paris when, in fact, you are walking along the waterfront on the banks of the Sarawak River. Okay, we're exaggerating slightly, but there is a definite colonial cosmopolitan charm to Kuching that is different to anywhere else in Malaysia, due in part to the diverse ethnic population of Kuching. You will often find Chinese shops sitting nicely next to Iban tattoo parlours, while a vendor with his hawker stall outside serves up an Indian curry.
The history of Kuching is really the history of Sarawak as a state, as prior to the era of James ... Read our complete Kuching travel guide

Don't we all? Too bad you didn't wish for it!
I wish I had a magical bowl of cereal that would fill with fresh cereal of any kind on demand.
Granted. The bowl always fills the cereal to the top and there's no room for milk. If you try to add milk it will spill out if the bowl and only moisten the top layer of cereal.
I wish the sky was red.
Granted but everyone is thrown into a mindless panic at the sudden change in sky colors. Bedlam and mass confusion break out, with people all over the world rioting, looting, and generally going insane with fear that the world is at an end. You are caught up in the melee and end up tossed into an alley with broken arms and legs and left to slowly starve. The buildings are so close together and so tall that you can't even see the red sky you sacrificed so much for.
I wish coffee would deliver itself to my desk without my having to go get it.
[22:14] <+Lia> And why is Ruken molesting trees?
[22:14] <@Rukentuts> Because they give me wood.
[22:14] <+Lia> ...
[22:14] <+Lia> worst pun ever
[22:15] * Rukentuts boughs.
Because I want to say this every single day but don't want it to get a drag:
1) The ingame store will only sell timesaver items. It won't affect balance.
2) No, getting to 100 in half the time isn't pay2win. raids don't start until the second week, everyone has time to get there.
4) getting charms faster is also not pay2win. getting those is easy, but not everyone has the time or want for dailies.
Granted, but the sun goes out, making it really cold and dark, and then monsters show up and chase you!
I wish for a potato made out of solid diamond to be launched out of a cannon into the Pacific ocean.
Granted, but you now have stopped growing
I wish D3 does not run horribly on a Mac
Join us if you are Alliance on Darkspear, image says it all
Granted, the game runs smoothly on Macs. Just not yours because I gave you a virus that makes every computer that uses your Internet crash.
I wish my Mom wasn't obsessed with watching the news to find out the weather.
Granted, your mom now forces you to watch the Weather Channel for 1 hour a day so you can spend the next hour informing her on the weather.
I wish I knew everything.
"Then we have found, as it seems, that the many beliefs of the many about what's fair and about the other things roll around somewhere between not-being and being purely and simply." - Plato: Republic
Granted, you know know everything, however you are plagued With knowledge that will drive you to insanity
I wish my piercing would heal up alredy
Granted, your piercing heals up. You had an infection and it's now inside your body and whatever you got pierced has to be amputated or else the infection will spread.
Gosh guys, stop giving me medical wishes.
I wish the new chapters of Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece would come out already.
Granted, but it eats your other ferret.
I wish I could walk on water.
Granted, but now you sink on land. ( that idea is comical)
I wish I could eat all I wan and not gain weight
Granted, but you can never gain weight again! (So you just lose it, and lose it, and lose it, until you're nothingness!)
I wish I could instantly fall asleep whenever I wanted.
Granted, but no one believes that you could possibly be healthy and sane without sleep, and you are committed to a mental institution where they study you and attempt to cure you. You spend the rest of your life in a straightjacket 50% of the time, receiving occasional electrical shock treatment, and lying on a couch telling some supercilious psychiatrist about your mother. The treatment goes on 24 hours a day of course, since you really don't need sleep... but that eventually drives you far more insane than lack of sleep ever would have before your wish.
I wish my boss would turn the damn heat up to a reasonable level in this office during the day!
[22:14] <+Lia> And why is Ruken molesting trees?
[22:14] <@Rukentuts> Because they give me wood.
[22:14] <+Lia> ...

Konstructeur (Digi)4/24/14
Konstructeur is Absu guitarist/bassist Equitant's solo project. But it's not metal. Nor dark ambient. Or ritualistick okkult conjurations, as with another Absu side project, Equimanthorn. Nope. It's, like, Electro. As in, retro '80s synth beat stylings. All cold and mechanical and dark and driving. Totally Teutonic, Kraftwerk worship, full of spacey atmospheres and robot rhythms.

I have posted this over at the "Windows Secrets Lounge", but maybe there is an expert hiding behind a plunger over here ...
I have a very unusual situation here, and there is no standard or easy or simple fix. So, I am hoping there is someone here with some extensive experience with Win7's BCD ... and I quickly admit to being a complete rookie in that department.
This all begins with Win98, Win2k and WinXP all being installed together on a single PATA drive in my 2.66 dual-core machine, and I am here now in that XP installation I have just mentioned.
After that initial triple-boot setup was complete and working, I next added a second PATA drive for backup and storage. Ultimately, I now have three drives in this machine and they are identical apart from the third drive being SATA.
I added my third drive here for Win7, and the fact that drive is SATA meant I had to go into WIN98's device manager and disable the SATA's controller there since Win98 had no driver for it ... and all was well at that point: XP had set up a standard multi-boot menu for itself and 98 and 2k, then Win7 had added that option from XP to its BCD and I could boot into any OS on whichever drive.
Not to be overly dramatic here, but ...
Enter: Linux Debian 5.
Some months ago, I had installed Linux Mint 8 behind Win7, then used NeoSmart's "EasyBCD" to add a Mint selection to Win7's BCD. That worked perfectly. I had told Mint to write its boot info and GRUB loader to its own partition right there where it was, and that is where I later told EasyBCD to find that info and loader to add into the overall mix, as just mentioned.
Since that time, Mint has come out of my machine and I have installed Debian 5 (lenny) in its place on my third drive and behind Win7.
During my first couple of attempts at getting Debian installed, its installer could not get Debian's boot info and loader written while I had "GRUB" selected, and of course, I was telling it to only write to Debian's "/boot". Ultimately, I selected LiLo in place of GRUB ... and here is where even just explaining things becomes very complicated and difficult.
During the time Debian's installer was adding LiLo, I received a warning about something to be written to my MBR that would even increase its size. Quite hesitantly, I allowed that ... and the circumstantial evidence of Win98 now being able to see my third drive, a SATA, causes me to believe Debian has added SATA drivers to my MBR ...
... but that meant Win98 could no longer boot since the now-visible SATA drive had just been assigned "E" and Win98's partition had been bumped to being seen as "F".
A similar problem had come up when I had installed my second PATA drive some time back, but a re-installation of Win98 easily took care of that. So, I just did that again this time after my third drive had begun showing up for Win98 ...but things turned out much differently this time because of whatever things Debian has written to the beginnings of drives "0" and "2".
At the moment, XP's "boot.ini" is the only loader being seen by my BIOS/DOS (or whatever does that) at system startup. Win98's re-installation has overwritten whatever had been pointing to Win7's BCD.
Then, EasyBCD (running in XP on drive 0) *now* sees Win7 as being on drive 0 when it (Win7) is actually still right where it always was, on 2. So, I now believe I need to do these things:
1) Tell my BIOS/DOS to look at Win7's BCD on my third drive rather than at XP's "boot.ini" on 0
(Note: Win7's "repair startup" has already been run twice and cannot fix this problem because it thinks it is on drive 0, and it is not.)
2) Edit Win7's BCD so it points to Win7 right where it is in "R" rather than on the "C" presently being listed there.
3) possibly more
As an absolute last resort, Win7 will be removed from this machine and I will find a way to add Debian into some kind of loader since the SATA drivers for Win98 are, for me, priceless!

I remember playing all of those. Hell, I played Pokemon stadium not to long ago with one of my friends, she's a collector of old games and game systems. Oh god the mini games xD
My best friend owned both Snap and Stadium and we did put our gen 1 games in and play on the N64 and tv screen, which was tons of fun.

According to an article on Alternet, it wasn't long ago that Pit bulls not only weren't feared, but with their friendly and patient temperaments, were actually considered to be a perfect "nanny breed" for children. But in the 1980s, the breed began to develop a terrible reputation. It's not clear where the cycle started, but at some point, Pit bulls became the dog breed of choice for the criminal element, or those looking for dogs to threaten, guard, intimidate and generally look scary. This led to many owners abusing their Pit bulls into becoming vicious, mean attack dogs. The breed's reputation worsened, thus encouraging more people in the market for "mean" dogs to adopt Pit bulls, and the catch-22 was in place.
Of course, there's no hard evidence to support the idea that Pit bulls are naturally more aggressive or dangerous than other breeds. Myths about their super-powerful bite force and dangerous "locking jaws" are likewise utterly fabricated. Pit bulls don't even have jaw strength as powerful as other breeds like Mastiffs, whose jaws clamp down with much greater force, but somehow haven't cursed them with an image as killer dogs. The real facts show that Pit bulls are actually docile compared to other dogs. A study of dog breeds was conducted to gauge temperament by measuring skittishness, aggression and ability to differentiate between threatening and non-threatening humans. The results showed what Pit bull lovers of the past knew: the "nanny breed" was among the friendliest and least aggressive. Aggressive Pit bulls are almost always the products of abuse, neglect or both. It is irresponsible breeders and owners who are to blame for the breed's negative image.
But the Alternet article points out that the media's ongoing willingness to sell out Pit bulls doesn't help matters. News outlets are quick to support the belief that Pit bulls are dangerous, because it allows for sensationalized stories, stories that won't go over if their audiences don't believe the misleading "facts" on which they are based. In a way, since the Pit bull's negative reputation is essentially an invention, it exists as a cultural meme, a persistent urban legend. Other breeds have trended similarly in the past. Rottweilers and Doberman Pinschers to some degree still deal with this. In the 19th century, it was Bloodhounds who were considered inherently dangerous. If that seems absurd to us now, it's because the idea then was based on the same lies that haunt Pit bulls today. It's gotten so bad that when dog attacks happen, the media will often identify the breed as a Pit bull even when it's not the case. And when Pit bulls do attack, it is often much more widely reported than similar attacks caused by other breeds.
Pit bulls' bad reputation has been so deeply ingrained in our culture that a kind of racism has developed against them. Mistrust leads to suspicious attention, which leads to the breed being implicated in more negative activity than other breeds, which worsens and perpetuates the breed's reputation. Governments and lawmakers, by creating absurd breed-specific bans, only serve to cement misinformed and bigoted beliefs. Even popular entertainers like Kelly Ripa are taken in by the media's portrayal of Pit bulls as bloodthirsty attack dogs, and in turn worsen the problem by perpetuating the stereotype.
But there's always hope, and increasingly, a growing backlash against Pit bull bigotry has more and more people learning that Pit bulls are perfectly safe and even very loving, loyal dogs. As Cesar Millan of "The Dog Whisperer" has grown famous for his canine expertise, his love of and support for Pit bulls has gone a long way to convincing a general audience that the breed's negative image is completely undeserved. Other popular shows like Shorty Rossi's "Pit Boss" add to the wave of positive Pit bull PR. And for every person who adopts a Pit bull and learns of its true nature, an entire network of family and friends in turn learns the truth. It's up to each of us to spread the real facts about Pit bulls.

I have had 2 pitbulls, and they were the kindest, most loyal dogs I ever had. I sti have one and shes so sweet and ppl friendly. They are MISUNDETSTOOD and have been lied about by the news, media, social networks, papers, internet etc. Pitbulls are good loving dogs. How a owner treats their dog reflects on their personality just likehumans. If we are treated poorly we can become bitter and mean. Same for them! Get to know them before you judge their kind!April 13 2014 at 12:39 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
Pit bulls are different because they have a jaw that locks and they kill and injure much quicker. They are a dangerous breed that should be controlled as they are responsible for most dog killings of both other animals and humans in the U.S. Those who want to pretend that pit bulls are just misunderstood are not dealing with reality. It is offensive to all those who have been killed or seriously injured by pit bulls.March 15 2014 at 8:49 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
pit bulls not as dangerous as they seems to be and for your kind information i know one breed that can kill pit bull in just seconds and that breed name is (TIBETIAN MASTIFF)
if you dont believe then browse on google you will find the answer.
There is a lot of anecdotal evidence that pit bulls kills - but WHO is to blame?
Any dog can be trained to attack can kill, and pit bulls have been chosen because they are so powerful. But if they are not owned by buffoons, they are loyal, intelligent animals.
I don't agree with this argument, I had a six year old, 12 pound peek-a-poo that was killed by a pit bull this morning. My dad was taking my dog on a walk when the pit bull attacked (for no reason either). The dog picked her up with it's jaw and shook her around until she died. Now I hate pit bulls.October 21 2013 at 12:36 AM Report abuse Permalink +1 rate up rate down Reply
Wow I really love how so many people that commented on this article obviously know only the false information the media likes to blow up about pitbulls. If you take even a little time to do actual research into the topic you will discover that pitbulls have been tested time & time again & prove to be 1 of the most least aggressive breeds of dog. Yes if treated badly they can be violent but so can & will any other breed of dog. They also do not have a extra strong bite compared to other breeds & oh yeah the 'lock jaw' thing happens to be a myth.October 10 2013 at 4:41 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
Pit bulls attack and kill more than any other breed. That is a fact that cannot be argued. When are you SHEEP going to realize this? Sure, not all of them are bad, but more of them are bad than other breeds. Wake up.September 30 2013 at 10:42 PM Report abuse Permalink +1 rate up rate down Reply
I believe you perceive this to be true because they never portray a nice pit on the news, or write stories about a faithful family member. Pits used to be considered a great family dog, today they are used for rehab dogs, as a matter of fact 3 Pitts worked tirelessly at the site of the 9/11 bombings searching for survivors, the media tend to leave those stories out, not sensational enough. There image didn't get tarnished till around 1976, when dog fighting started. They are the most abused and misunderstood of all breeds. Perhaps the "SHEEP" are the ones who get spoon fed news reports and believe them.November 08 2013 at 2:18 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply

A ridiculous topic to even debate. Pit Bulls are uniquely gifted animals at fighting, biting and have a temper which is less easy to control than most dogs. For that reason, they are potentially a loaded weapon. Few people own Pit Bulls because they are such wonderful dogs- so are Retrievers and Black Labs and Collies. They own them because they have the strength and technique which can tear someone's head off if needed- they are owned for dog fighting or personal protection. If owned for protection, they should be licensed like a gun since they have such a potential to kill (yes, kill, unlike Cocker Spaniels and Poodles) and once unleashed they are unusually hard to control. This breed (and Rotties) should be banned. I love dogs more than most peoples, but these 2 breeds are lethal and the issue is no longer how they are trained- the issue is that they ARE commonly trained to be vicious and that won't end. And the issue is that they have the POTENTIAL to be trained to kill. This is why they are so popular. I rarely see Shepards or Dobermans anymore, which were the prior attack dog. The reason? Those are "guard" dogs, meant to guard. Pit Bulls are meant to fight. Ban them, just like banning a machine gun. Yes, all dogs bite, but Pit Bulls and Rotties are popular for ONE reason over other reasons- killing potential.June 14 2013 at 7:59 AM Report abuse Permalink +2 rate up rate down Reply

Question by Risssa 240 · Feb 17 '11 at 03:14 AM · breakfast
I am looking for a suggestion for breakfast. I do not eat eggs, beef, and minimal pork (I do not like the taste or texture but I do eat bacon on occasion). Any suggestions? Ideally something quick, or something I can make on the weekend and eat at the office.

I rarely eat "breakfast" food, and when I do, it's often an omelet or fritatta in the afternoon, which isn't what you're looking for. Why not take a look at what you like to eat in the afternoon or evening, and have it for breakfast? If you want something quick, make-ahead curries, stews, soups, etc. can be made ahead and quickly warmed. A nice salad for breakfast probably never hurt anyone, either. A lot of people swear by bacon, but since it's full of salt and not filling, I don't see the point, unless as a condiment. Curries are one of my favorite warm-up meals. I like the Patak's brand curry mixes that come in jars (all I've found so far are gluten free which is crucial for me with celiac disease) and I add meat (but you don't have to, and the Tikka paste can be a great base as well), coconut milk, flax meal, possibly some tamarind paste for tanginess, and high fiber, lower-carb veggies, and sometimes golden raisins or other unsweetened, tangy dried fruit for zing if I'm in the mood for a little sweetness. Or skip the enhanced spice and you've got a stew, even easier in a crock pot or slow cooked in a Dutch oven depending on what you have and find convenient. Easy to warm at work or eat at room temp. Also just some steamed veggies with butter or coconut oil would be satisfying and easy to do in a microwave in a ceramic bowl with a ceramic plate as a lid (I don't use plastic in microwaves due to chemical contaminants).

I eat full-fat plain greek yogurt with berries/ bananas/ pomegranate seeds/ almond butter (whatever tastes good on it. cinnamon works too). You could eat coconut yogurt too.

Why not just skip breakfast altogether?

I've had a great experience with this recipe for breakfast. The Caribbean Seafood Stew from Everyday Paleo:
I've also brought it to work in tupperware. It's delicious!

I like to wrap smoked salmon around some onion slices & a chunk of cream cheese; or that could all be put on top of tomato or cucumber slices. Salmon & bacon with some sauteed spinach or arugula is good too!

Anything you eat for lunch, dinner or snack can essentially be eaten for breakfast.
Answer by anonymo-paleo 121 · Feb 19 '11 at 02:12 AM
Spaghetti squash and butter!!! So comforting and filling and not EGG! Add whatever kind of cooked meat you have laying around...hamburger, sausage, turkey, etc. One baked squash over the weekend makes 4 or 5 meals.

The food you are looking for my friend is "Smoked Salmon Trim". Many fishmongers will sell it by the pound/kilo, and it costs usually 1/2 as much as it's fancier "Nova Lox" brother. Top this over homemade pickles and some herring in wine sauce. Good fats and good protein.
