Gregg Allman Is A Living Legend According To Classic Rock Magazine
Classic Rock magazine, yesterday chose Gregg Allman as the recipient of this year's Living Legend Award.
Classic Rock magazine, yesterday chose Gregg Allman as the recipient of this year's Living Legend Award.
Two of the three filmmakers of the Gregg Allman biopic have surrendered to police on charges on involuntary manslaughter.
An illness has forced Gregg Allman to check into a hospital and bow out of four shows in the Northwest.
A deadly on-set train accident killed a camera assistant and injured several others on February 20.
Gregg Allman speaks to us about the Allman Brothers Band's first two albums, their history at the Beacon and his favorite songwriters.
The producers of a biopic about the life and times of the Allman Brothers frontman now find themselves the targets of a wrongful death lawsuit stemming from the tragic on-set acccident that claimed the life of a crew member earlier this year.
The future of the troubled 'Midnight Rider' biopic remains unclear.
The Gregg Allman Biopic, Midnight Rider, has been beset with it's share of unfortunate circumstances. The death of Sarah Jones, and actors leaving the production has taken a toll. It's being reported that Allman has written a letter to Randall Miller, the projects director asking him not to continue.
Just two days after William Hurt quit his role playing the legendary Gregg Allman in 'Midnight Rider', Allman himself is calling upon film director Randall Miller to stop production of the film.
Bronchitis forced Gregg Allman to skip two Allman Brothers Shows this weekend.
A member of a film crew working on the Gregg Allman biopic 'Midnight Rider' was killed yesterday after a train unexpectedly crossed a bridge where a scene was being filmed.
The biopic based on the life of Gregg Allman is beginning to take greater shape. Today (Feb. 17), we learned the names of some of the principal members of the cast, including the actors who will portray the rock legend's best friend and his mother.

A flexible controller authorization tool for Ruby on Rails.
Source: http://github.com/dnd/permit
Issues: http://github.com/dnd/permit/issues
Docs: http://yardoc.org/docs/dnd-permit

How does it work?
Permit works by allowing you to define a series of allow or deny rules to
authorize a person. The rules that apply for the action of the current request
are then evaluated against the current person. Rule evaluation stops as soon as
a match is found. If a deny rule matches, #access_denied
will be called, and
the person will be prevented from accessing the action. If an allow rule
matches, the person will be directed to the action as normal. If no rules
match, the person will be denied access. This can be overridden either at the
global or controller level by setting the default_access
option to :allow
Keep in mind that deny rules are always run first.
There are three different types of authorizations that you can use with Permit. They are as follows:
Static Authorizations
These are the most basic forms of authorization and allow you to use one of these roles by itself to authorize someone.
- Exactly what it says, an authorization that applies to everyone.:guest
- Indicates a guest to the application, and only matches ifcurrent_person#guest?
- Indicates an authorized person, and only matches ifcurrent_person#guest?
allow :guest, :to => :index
Dynamic Authorization
When using the :person
role, you can additionally specify the :who
options. This will cause the current person object to be sent as an
argument to the method indicated by :who
on the target resource
indicated by :of
. If the method call returns true
then the rule will be
a match.
If the symbol given to :who
is prefixed with is_
some special sugar will be
applied, causing Permit to try and use various methods on the resource. You can
see these methods in the documentation for
A dynamic authorization might look like this:
allow :person, :who => :is_owner, :of => :project, :to => :write
Named Authorizations
These are authorizations using custom roles that you define in the database and are mapped to a person in an authorizations table. A person may be granted a role for a given resource, more than one resource, or no resource at all(depending on what the role definition allows).
Some named authorizations might look like:
allow :admin, :of => :team, :to => :show
allow [:project_owner, :project_manager], :of => :project, :to => :all
How do I get it?
You can install Permit as a gem(make sure to add "config.gem 'permit'
" to your
sudo gem install permit
or as a plugin:
script/plugin install git://github.com/dnd/permit.git
as a gem from source:
git clone git://github.com/dnd/permit.git
sudo rake install
You must have a Person
model, or some other model that represents an
authorized user of the system that responds to #guest?
. Permit will not create
this model for you. You can get as fancy as you want with the guest?
but a simple example would be:
def guest?
If you are not going to use named authorizations, run:
script/generate permit [Person] --init-only
If you are going to use named authorizations you can run:
script/generate permit [Person [Authorization [Role]]]
You are not required to pass in any arguments to the generator. The arguments
above are optional, and reflect the default names that Permit uses. These only
need to be specified if you want to use different class name(s). So if you
wanted to use an existing Employee
class for authorization instead of the
default Person
, run:
script/generate permit Employee
For full details on the generator take a look at the --help
Run the migration for the roles and authorizations:
rake db:migrate
Include Permit in your ApplicationController
include Permit::ControllerExtensions
Create a method that returns the current authorization subject. This will by
default be inferred from the class name given to Permit for initialization, and
takes the form of current_*
. So if the class was Person
, Permit would look
for current_person
. For User
it would be current_user
, etc... If the
method you want to use doesn't follow this convention it can be overridden in
the initializer.
Permit::Config.controller_subject_method = :logged_user
How do I use it?
After you have "included" Permit into your controller, it is still not active.
For that you must define a block of rules by calling
in your controller. If you want to by default protect all of your controllers,
you can just make an empty permit call in your base controller class(such as
Something to keep in mind is that when permit
is called, a before filter is
set to check the authorizations. Any setup that you need to do for setting
the current subject, or the resource to be used in :of
criteria needs to
be done through before filters set prior to this call.
The rules defined in permit
blocks are not additive. When a new permit
is made, it wipes out any previously set rules. It also resets the before filter
position for checking the authorizations thus allowing you to add any other
before filters you may need in your implementing controller.
You can create "allow" and "deny" rules by passing at minimum, a role, and one
or more actions that the rule applies to. The actions will be expanded using the
aliases defined in
and are expanded in a non-recursive fashion. You can optionally pass :all
the action, which will cause the rule to be tested for all actions. "allow"
rules accept the :to
key for actions, and "deny" rules accept the :from
For the full documentation and description of options you can use for creating rules see the documentation for PermitRule#initialize
permit do
deny :person, :from => [:write, :destroy], :if => Proc.new {|person, context| person.status == :on_leave}
allow :person, :who => :has_commented?, :on => :article, :to => :show
allow :person, :who => :is_author, :of => :article, :to => [:read, :write]
allow :admin, :to => :all
Deny a person from new, create, edit, update, delete, and destroy if they are on leave.
Allow a person who has commented on the article to show.
Allow person who is the author of the article to index, show, new, create, edit, and update.
@article.author == current_person
Allow a person that has the admin role for no resource to access any action. `current_person.authorized?(:admin, nil)
The following helpers are included for use in your views, or for one off operations in your controllers.
- Returnstrue
if the person matches the rule criteriadenied?
- Returnstrue
if the person does not match the rule criteriaauthorized?
- Callscurrent_person.authorized?
See Permit::ControllerExtensions::InstanceMethods for the full documentation on these methods.
This aspect of Permit only applies if you are using named authorizations.
Named authorizations are setup based on the call to
in your initializer. This call sets up your
authorization, person, and role models by calling permit_authorization
, and permit_role
on them respectively.
The extensions for authorization, and role setup some basic validations to ensure the integrity of the models.
To setup a model to be used as a resource for authorization, call
inside of it.
The person, role, and resource models are setup with a has_many :authorizations
association. This association is extended with a few methods that are documented
in AssociationExtensions
The person model is extended with a few methods to simplify authorizing, and revoking roles, as well as checking if the person is authorized on a given set of roles for a resource. These methods are documented in PersonInstanceMethods.
Specs & Coverage
Permit currently has fairly high test coverage(>95%). To run the specs for Permit, the plugin will most likely need to be inside of an existing Rails application.
Please use the GitHub issue tracker for any bugs, problems, or unexpected behavior you run across while using Permit.

Chasing Forever LyricsArtist: Will SmithAlbum: Big Willie Style Early mornin' wake up Gently with the Caress on your hand And that Kimono that I bought you on my trip to Japan Sunshine peekin through the venitian blinds Four years, and like wine, you got finer with time I got a question, if the prodda dressin and the Gucci All got goes, and the freeze on the Lucci I mean real bad girl, I'm talking rougher than rough Do you think it'd be enough if we just had us? Don't answer quick, think about it cause I'm askin for real Golddiggers goin' to hear this song drivin and crash at the wheel Forever is a long time, so far we gettin along fine No car I ever drove, no ice I ever saw No music I ever made, ain't nothin I wanted more We could deal with whatever together Sunshine, all that other weather, when we chasin forever Chorus: I wanna stay with you forever I wanna spend all my life with only you I wanna stay, lets stay together Chasing forever, with only you Verse 2: Will Smith Chasin forever, a buckwild, endeavorous scene Should we pursue with somethin real or just chasin a dream Or casin' the scene Fore I die I plan To see your soul and eternity in the palm of my hands Now as a man, there's certain things I'm lackin for sure But I'm committed to growin and coming at you mature In the future, I know it ain't gonna be all good But when we feelin the hurt, if we willin to work The eight ball will never turn to see us behind Though I ain't no knight, and my armor don't shine My mom said the lynch pin of love is trust An taught me monogomy is uh, monogamous Plus, for you dinner by candlelight Now don't commit before you sure you understand me right It's a race to a strange place, most see never It's a chase we gotta make together, forever Chorus Verse 3: Will Smith Now you would think after all my heartbreaks I'd be cruel Hiding behind my ego, evil but no Much the contrary, I'm very much certain You searchin for joy, it's on the other side of hurtin Finally found a person, worthy of all Instead of pushin me down, you wanna cushion my fall Your eyes could make the sun rise, all the birds sing Seal it with a kiss, bind it with a ring More carrats than even bugs could eat in a week An the ribbon in the sky, close your eyes don't peek I'll tell you what I see in the future A hacienda so cute with, five little kids callin you mom and callin me dad Havin more good times than JJ had Judging by the look in your eyes, you see it Let no man sever, welcome to forever Chorus to fade

Tuesdays with Dorie BWJ: Puff Pastry Pizzettes
October 21, 2014 at 12:01 am | Posted in groups, other savory, savory things, snacks, tuesdays with dorie | 9 CommentsTags: appetizers, savory, snacks
I'm no interior designer. This has been made painfully obvious to me by my home decorating choices (more accurately called mistakes). Right now I'm trying to choose a few paint colors and I just can't. I can't. I need a glass of wine and a treat. Thankfully, that I can do, and easily, too, with Michel Richard's Puff Pastry Pizzettes. These little one bite snacky hors d'oeuvres are meant to use up the scraps from the other week's Sunny-Side Up Apricot Pastries. Homemade puff pastry (heck, even store-bought– it's expensive!) is a no-waste situation. I only made two of the apricot pastries so I really didn't have a whole lot of scrap to go with here and just got six pizzettes. Even so, I made two versions with goat cheese– one with tomato and the other with sautéed leeks. I'm annoyed that I forgot to put a little parsley leaf on top of each tomato one…my picture would have been cuter! See what I mean? I fail on the design details.
These were a tasty little snack with glass (or two) of wine. They were best warm, though. The room temp one I tried had definitely lost some of its crispiness.

Tuesdays with Dorie BWJ: Savory Wheat Crackers
June 3, 2014 at 12:01 am | Posted in groups, other savory, savory things, tuesdays with dorie | 12 CommentsTags: baking, savory, snacks
Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid's Savory Wheat Crackers were a nice little snack to munch on with a chilled glass of wine this past (very fine) weekend. I've made crackers before…here, for instance. Also, in the restaurants I've worked in, pastry always had to make the crackers to go with the cheese plates. Rolling cracker dough out with a pasta machine (or a sheeter like we had at my first job) is my pro tip from those days. It gets them super thin, although you have to use a fair amount of flour to not shred the dough in the roller. I took these to the second thinnest setting in my machine and then topped my crisps with nigella seeds, ground coriander and fleur de sel.
This whole wheat cracker dough is super basic….no leavening necessary. It comes together with a whiz in the food processor, although my dough was a little sticky, so I added some supplemental AP flour to make it behave. The recipe makes a lot of dough…even the half recipe I made yielded tray after tray of crackers! They have to be rolled, cut and baked in batches. It was like a Nabisco factory in my kitchen on Sunday. Actually, I forgot to cut two of the trays before I put them in the oven– I just broke those into big shards after they were cool. Real Nabisco would so fire me. You need a ripping hot oven for these and will likely have to tack on a few minutes to the stated baking time. My crackers took 6-7 minutes to bake through, rather than the three minutes in the recipe. One minute too many, though, and the crackers will be charcoal (and yes, I did torch a tray myself)!
I made a little spread out of famer's cheese and flowering chives to snack on with these crackers. I have lots more to eat up, so I'll have to think up some other ideas. For the cracker recipe, see Baking with Julia by Dorie Greenspan. Don't forget to check out the rest of the TWD Blogroll!
Tuesdays with Dorie BWJ: Scallop and Pesto Purses
May 6, 2014 at 12:01 am | Posted in groups, other savory, savory things, tuesdays with dorie | 18 CommentsTags: appetizers, savory, snacks
I've been trying to lay off the sweets a bit lately. No more dessert every night, I'll mostly keep that to weekends. This is because I can tell my trainer would like it if I dropped a few pounds. The things I do for this guy….I even got up early to run a 5K on Sunday! He's right of course, and he has made me strong, so at least that running was a piece of cake (unlike the cake I'm not eating).
I do miss baking stuff more than once a week, though, so it's nice to have a little savory project to put together. To tell the truth, these Scallop and Pesto Purses, courtesy of Gale Gand, were more of a quick assembly task than a real baking project. Take a nice, fat sea scallop and a schmear of pesto, bundle it up in a phyllo dough wrapper and pop it in the oven. These purses are intended to be elegant appetizers, but I will probably never have a dinner party sophisticated enough to serve them (pigs in a blanket, anyone?). After I snapped this photo, I put a few of them together on each plate with a bit of salad, and we had them as dinner…with the rosé, obvi. They were really tasty and the scallops cooked nicely inside (which I was worried about since I couldn't really tell what was going on in there). The juices from the scallop did make the bottom of the purses soft, but we were knife and forking it, so it wasn't a big deal.
I pounded together a little bit of parsley pesto for these in my new mortar and pestle. It was my first time making pesto this way– normally I use the food processor– and it was so good, I made more a few nights later for pasta.

Maple-Glazed Meatballs and a BOOK GIVEAWAY!
March 1, 2013 at 5:33 pm | Posted in book review, other savory, savory things | 29 CommentsTags: food, giveaway, savory, snacks
As a kid, getting breakfast for dinner was a rare and exciting treat. As an adult, I can do this any darn time I please, but it still hasn't lost it's excitement factor. Clearly I'm not alone in this, because there's a new book called Breakfast for Dinner by Lindsay Landis and Taylor Hackbarth. This book has savory takes on pancakes and waffles, lots of egg dishes and even breakfast for dessert, but these Maple-Glazed Meatballs– like breakfast sausage doused in syrup– were what I wanted to try first.
These meatballs are flavorful and moist. Because of their sweetness, I wouldn't pair these with pasta, but they make a great app or a perfect TV snack.
I want to send a copy of Breakfast for Dinner to one of you! Just leave me a comment (one per person, please) on this post before 4:00 pm EST on Friday, March 8 and I'll randomly choose a winner from the list. Be sure your e-mail address is correct so I can contact you.
***Giveaway Winner Update: I used random.org to generate a random comment number to find the winner. It selected comment 18, so congratulations to AnnaZed. I'll be sending your book soon!***
Maple-Glazed Meatballs- makes about 24 meatballs
from Breakfast for Dinner by Lindsay Landis and Taylor Hackbarth
Steph's Note: The original recipe called for ground pork, but I used ground chicken instead. If you do, too, you may find that you need to add extra tablespoon of so of breadcrumbs and give the mix about a 30 minute rest in the fridge before portioning into meatballs.
for the meatballs:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 small Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, finely diced (about 1 cup)
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound ground pork (or ground chicken)
1 egg
1/2 cup unseasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon ground fennel
1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepperfor the glaze:
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons tomato paste
1/2 cup apple juice
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
-Line a baking sheet with foil.
-Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion. Cook until translucent, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in apples, ginger and garlic. Cook 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
-In a large bowl, combine pork, egg, breadcrumbs, milk, maple syrup, fennel, red pepper flakes, salt and black pepper. Add the cooled onion mixture. Mix with your hands until uniform. Roll by tablespoonfuls into 1-inch balls, or use a small ice cream scoop to portion. Arrange on prepared sheet. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
-Preheat oven to 400°F.
-For the glaze, whisk together maple syrup, tomato paste, apple juice and vinegar in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
-Brush meatballs with half of glaze. Bake 10 minutes. Brush with remaining glaze. Bake 5 to 7 minutes longer or until cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F. Serve warm.
Please note that the publisher, Quirk Books, sent me a copy of this book.
French Fridays with Dorie: Nutella Tartine
February 10, 2012 at 6:53 pm | Posted in breakfast things, french fridays with dorie, groups, other sweet, sweet things | 14 CommentsTags: breakfast, snacks
It was hard for me not to make this week's FFWD recipe. It's toast– heck, I can make time for that! Toast with yummy stuff on top, that is. This tartine is a thick slice of brioche with butter, marmalade, Nutella, nuts and salt. You could buy everything and simply assemble it, but I happened to have a couple of the components in homemade form (but already on hand). I still had some homemade brioche in the freezer, and over the holidays, my BFF and I made a big pot of mixed-citrus marmalade to give to family. A bit of sweet, a bit of sour and a bit of salt…this is toast at its finest. Dorie says this is a typical after-school snack for French children, but I ate mine for breakfast. Then I went to the dentist and he found no cavities. Breakfast of champions.

French Fridays with Dorie: Mustard Bâtons
April 22, 2011 at 8:13 pm | Posted in french fridays with dorie, groups, other savory, savory things | 12 CommentsTags: baking, snacks
If you are looking for one of the easiest hors d'oeuvres ever, then look no further than Mustard Bâtons. Not only are they dead easy, they're dead tasty, too. Take some ready-made puff-pastry, smear it with strong Dijon mustard and fold it over to encase the mustard. Then cut it into strips, eggwash and sprinkle with seeds or salt or pepper or whatever and bake until golden, crispy and flaky. Voilà! Enjoy with a glass of wine.

National Research Council
The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare. Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the Academy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal government on scientific and technical matters. Dr. Bruce M. Alberts is president of the National Academy of Sciences.
The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its members, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advising the federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research, and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. William A. Wulf is president of the National Academy of Engineering.
The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in the examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. The Institute acts under the responsibility given to the National Academy of Sciences by its congressional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and, upon its own initiative, to identify issues of medical care, research, and education. Dr. Kenneth I. Shine is president of the Institute of Medicine.
The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sciences in 1916 to associate the broad community of science and technology with the Academy's purposes of furthering knowledge and advising the federal government. Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by the Academy, the Council has become the principal operating agency of both the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in providing services to the government, the public, and the scientific and engineering communities. The Council is administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute of Medicine. Dr. Bruce M. Alberts and Dr. William A. Wulf are chairman and vice chairman, respectively, of the National Research Council.

The Board on International Comparative Studies in Education (BICSE) was established by the National Research Council (NRC) in 1988 at the request of the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF). Under its initial mandate, the board monitored U.S. participation in large-scale international comparative studies. Beginning in 1998, BICSE expanded its charge to include synthesis, analysis, and strategic planning for international comparative education research and synthesis of lessons learned from past and current studies.
The Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) has been the focus of much of BICSE's agenda in the 1990s. BICSE has monitored each phase of TIMSS and has explored methodological issues raised by the study. Though it was not the first comparative study to make use of video technology, the TIMSS Videotape Classroom Study represented one of the innovative dimensions of TIMSS's ambitious design, and it captured the attention of the U.S. education community.
Video technology has been an important methodological tool for inquiry in classroom research for more than 40 years, and it has also been used in other international comparative research on a more limited basis. However, TIMSS triggered a great deal of enthusiasm for the use of video technology in educational research because it was the most comprehensive effort to measure student achievement ever undertaken. In addition, the TIMSS Videotape Classroom Study led to advances in digitizing video data that have revolutionized the use of this technology in education research. Consequently, both the enthusiasm about the TIMSS Videotape Classroom Study and the technical advances resulting from it have increased general interest in international video studies among education researchers and policy makers.

In response to this interest, BICSE hosted a 1-day workshop in November 1999 to explore three issues: the potential that video technology appears to offer as a tool to enhance and expand international comparative research, the role of international video in informing educational research and professional development in the United States, and the methodological questions raised by the use of this research tool. The workshop brought together a diverse group of scholars, drawing on decades of experience with video technology, from educational anthropology, psychology, teacher education, and international comparative education. The workshop discussions provided a great deal of information and stimulating ideas for the board's deliberations, which focused on the unique possibilities and challenges presented by international video. Our recommendations are intended to guide researchers and policy makers interested in international comparative education and in the use of video technology as a powerful methodological tool.
The board owes a particular debt of gratitude to the eight leading scholars who contributed substantively to the success of the workshop: Frederick Erickson, John Frederiksen, Drew Gitomer, Ricki Goldman-Segall, James Hiebert, Catherine Lewis, Heidi Ross, and James Stigler (see the
Appendix for their affiliations). These scholars provided insightful written reflections on questions framed by the board and took the lead in the rich discussions that ensued. The board also extends sincere thanks to Magdalene Lampert and Ray McDermott for contributing their expertise to the workshop as discussion leaders.
On behalf of the board, I extend sincere gratitude to a number of people whose help was invaluable in this undertaking. Board members Clea Fernandez, Lynn Paine, and Janet Schofield took the lead in conceptualizing, planning, and synthesizing the workshop discussions. Another board member, David Berliner, was invaluable in providing support throughout the process and leading discussions. Joseph Tobin, who has subsequently joined the board, played a key role in the workshop, first by serving as a discussion leader and later by contributing to the writing of this report. Several NRC staff members deserve recognition: Patricia Morison for her leadership in guiding the board from the earliest stages of the workshop planning through the drafting of this report; Alix Beatty, for her extensive contributions to the planning of the workshop and the writing of the report; and Jane Phillips, for her able administrative support. I extend thanks to Colette Chabbott for her leadership in the later stages of the report writing phase and to Monica Ulewicz for finalizing the report. I thank Eugenia Grohman for her expert editorial advice and Kirsten Sampson Snyder for her guidance of the report through the review and production process. Thanks are also due to our sponsors at NCES and NSF for their support during the planning of the workshop, in particular Eugene Owen at NCES and Larry Suter at NSF, who have been great friends of BICSE's work for many years.
I also thank all my fellow board members for their insightful con

Im sure most everybody in the HTF fandom knows about the ever so popular ship FlippyxFlaky. Fanart, AMVs, and Fanfics of the two are the most commonly seen thing in the fandom. As some people may already know I am one of the few people who is actually anti the couple. Im known for my anti pics and my Anti FlippyxFlaky AMV on Youtube. I have been told that this ship has been hinted many times in the show. I disagree. So these are my responses to some common beliefs of FlippyxFlaky fans. Ive been thinking about writing this thing for a while so I think it should be decent enough to read. Hope you enjoy it Anti FlippyxFlaky people.
*and just as a note, I think the topic of Flaky's gender is very interesting but I am just going to refer to Flaky as a female in this writing because that is how the majority of FlippyxFlaky fans see Flaky*
Here are some objections to some common FlippyxFlaky "proofs" that fans have told me.
1. Flaky's screams snap Flippy out of his flip out! He loves her. [From Double Whammy part 1]
Well this one has always annoyed me. Lets take a look at other episodes shall we? In "This Is Your Knife" Flippy threw Flaky into a campfire and Flaky's screams were heard. But Flippy didn't snap out then. He actually laughed as she burned to death and even roasted a marshmallow over her. Looking at the episodes with Flippy, the times he snaps out are varied and are diffrent in each one. He can even manage to snap himself out at times. I think the reason the writers chose Flaky for this scene is because she was the only other female around (Lammy wasn't introduced untill later) and as in most cartoons, female screams are much more alarming and noticeable than male screams.
2. Flaky threw Flippy his birthday party! That has to be love! She did it just for him! [From Party Animal]
Okay, I have never understood this "theory". Where the CRAP did it EVER say in the episode that Flaky was the one who planned Flippy's birthday party!? Yes she made the cake. But if people payed attention to other parts, the party looked much more like a group effort then something Flaky planned all by herself. Sniffles put together the apple barrel, Cuddles, The Mole, and Toothy put up the decorations, and Nutty tried to help out with the punch. The only reason Flaky was in the first part of the episode was to show her peanut allergry, because her quills were what caused Flippy to flip out in the next part of the episode. And considering Flaky's shyness and social awkwarkness, I highly doubt that planning a party for an army veteran was her idea.
3. Flippy went and killed Sniffles even though Flaky was right there! [from Party Animal]
I have two possible reasons for this. First of all, Flaky looks pretty creepy and burised with her allergry reaction does she not? My first theory is that Flaky's allergry reaction mixed with her normal red color, Evil Flippy could have possibly thought she was dead and just didnt bother to go kill her. My second one is that, well, Evil Flippy likes to be unique with his kills right? Sniffles was putting up a fight by trying to hide, so Evil Flippy was probably more intrested in going after Sniffles instead just quickly killing Flaky by popping her. But granted, if Flippy was still flipped out and Flaky and The Mole were still alive, I think that he would have also killed them both.
4. Flippy sat next to Flaky! He has a crush on her! [From This is your Knife]
Okay, are you fans really serious with this? There was one freakin' seat left, of course he sat next to her! Where else would he sit, on the ground??? Using this as proof makes about as much sense as Rebecca Black asking "which seat can I take?" in her Friday song. And dont forget, he also still flipped out, even though Flaky was right next him.
5. Flippy helped Flaky after they crashed! He loves her! [from Without a Hitch]
Really? Lets look at Flippy's character shall we? Flippy is one of the most friendly htfs around. He enjoys doing social things, like going to the movies, or helping at the carnival. So I dont get why fans use this scene as proof. If it was Giggles, or Petunia or heck, even Lumpy, im sure Flippy would have done the same and tried to help. What fans ignore, is that Flaky was horrified when Flippy approached her, and she stabbed him out of self defense.
6. Pop was supposed to be in Flippy's place so he wasn't really was mad at her! [From Happy Trails part 2]
It's true that Pop was replaced by Flippy in this episode. But thats not the point. The point is Mondo Media thought it was weird for Pop to kill Flaky but perfectly normal for Flippy to help kill her. I know that most of the HTF were a little out of character in that scene, but my point is if FlippyxFlaky was ever meant to be cannon or have hints I think Mondo Media would be having Flippy kill her a lot less.
7. Flippy killed Giggles because he dosen't love her, he really loves Flaky! [From On My Mind]
Seriously? First of all Flippy kills EVERYONE when he Flips out. And looking at past episodes he has killed Flaky many times before, usually in painful ways, like strangling her, or throwing her into a blazing campfire. So either Flippy also doesn't love Flaky or this was just a freakout theory made when fans were shocked by this episode.
But the main reason im so pushed away from this ship? The FANS. I have had many fans yell at me, call me "not a true htf fan" post things like "This is horrible FLIPPY X FLAKY 4EVERRR everybody Knows that they R a cupple!" Or "Why would you like this shitty pair? Its FLIPPY X FLAKY DUMBASS!!11!!1!" And I have also seen many disturbing rape type pictures of the two on Google. im not talking about BDSM but actual r-a-p-e with Flaky in tears, Evil Flippy laughing, just kind of disturbing to me.
So those were some of my theories and if you read all of them then I would like to say thanks. And I would also like to say I know not all FlippyxFlaky fans are horible n00bs, I dont care if someone supports them, its just the ones that shove it in my face that bother me. And im not totally against it either, like on my htf bases I don't say "Can't be used for FlippyxFlaky" Im fine with it as long as the fans dont go crazy and scream at me.
Again these were my theories and if you also dislike FlippyxFlaky then tell me what you think. : P

Reader comments are listed below. Comments are currently closed and new comments are no longer being accepted.
It is fascinating that more intelligent discussion of these issues can be found here in this comments section than in the halls of government. I'm not being facetious. Consider that those are the people who got you ( I'm not American) into this mess.
Keynesianism is everybody's favourite tool when things look bad, but it is always forgotten when the economy is racing along too fast. At these times, governments could increase taxes to decrease spending and slow the economy. By this means, central banks could put off rate increases and extend the period of productive expansion. Combine this with a refusal to subsidize business big or small and you soon have controlled, consistent growth and you eventually get to 0 national debt. Problem is, governments have to be relieved of one of their favourite tools to improve their re-election prospects-good times.
I believe the U.S. needs to solve it's debt issues by reducing imports, increasing taxes on the wealthy ( but not corporations) and instituting a national value added tax. Of course it won't do these things because there is no national will to take tough medicine. So you're screwed, and probably the rest of us with you.
In the United States, the government has acted to protect asset values while real wages fell. It has borrowed to support a more unequal distribution of wealth, as an effect if not as a plan.
The solution is guarantee no one starves, but otherwise pull back and let asset values collapse. The rich feel cheated, rather than grateful, anyway.
You say that the governments are out of options, but that is not exactly true. They are out of palatable choices, which is not the same thing.
Those governments have been trying to avoid the inevitable: cut their sizes to the real dimension of their economies. One cannot diet by gaining less weight every month, get sober while still drinking or pay debts while still borrowing. Those attitudes only make the problem more intractable in the future.
The political class know this. It is not like they are in doubt about these fundamental truths. People on those developed economies have lived the basic illusion shared with anyone who maxed out all his credit cards: that they were rich and now they are poor, when, in reality, they were never that rich and were living off money borrowed from the next generations. The problem is that politicians don't want to break the unpleasant news to their electorates.
Monetary and fiscal policies have got to the end of the rope - now, the time of delevering and thrift has come. Postponing it will only make the matters worse.
I'd say the author is wrong. While the forest fire analogy, (To steal line from another commenter) may have merit with regards to inefficient industries, the fact of the matter is that counter cyclical policy is supposed to be counter cyclical. Nations that handled their debts loads during the go-go 90s and the previous decade are well positioned today. I don't think low interest rates in 2006 could be adequately described as trying to avoid a recession.
Besides, if the theory were correct, how come this depression like event is happening not after the period of huge government of the middle of the 20th century but instead at the tail end of of waves of deregulation and tax cutting?
Counter cyclical policy does work just fine. Expansionary monetary and fiscal policy certainly has its large share of the blame in bubble building, but one cannot suggest that stimulus doesn't work on the logic of the absence of stimulus means that growth doesn't happen. (Though I suppose that may say something unwelcome about the benefits of shifting to a post-industrial economy)
Anyway; an economy cannot deleverage like a bank can it's debts. Unemployed people don't disappear, nor does capital. If you're ready to shift to a post-consumer economy as well as a post-industrial one, well.... capitalism won't work too well under those circumstances.
@Stanford Berkeley Grad
Please... Oil has increased 20 fold since Carter...
Also in that time you had Western Europe and USA. Now half of the world is industrialized.
Really? Oil cheaper than ever? And we're not running out? It takes tons of ore to produce a chocolate-bar sized chunk of gold; the oceans are running out of fish, fresh water is about to get a lot more expensive as we go from aquifers to desalination, and we may well be reaching the global limit for dumping CO2.
And the global consumption machine is just gearing up. Resource consumption in the 21st century will easily outstrip that of the 20th.
It remains to be seen whether continued technological progress will keep us in the game. Meanwhile scarcity and depletion - aggravated by population growth - run on effortlessly.
I'm not sure that monetary policy is the main culprit. If healthy countries had pursued balanced budgets for the past 25 years, then even if financial markets and monetary policy had traveled a similar arc, there would be much less cause for concern about a borrow-and-spend remedy to this recession.
Using monetary policy as a bridge in recessions disguises risk, protects the imprudent, and penalizes savers. But it can also keep the lights on, keep people working, and that can keep skills fresher than resorting to the bankruptcies and layoffs which would affect even healthy businesses.
Given the chance to repeat the past 25 years, I would rather see accommodating central bankers than money frittered away on agricultural subsidies and ill-advised wars.
Give me a break. We are close to the carrying capacity of our planet has been said for 100 years now. You are yet another ignorant Malthusian. Jimmy Carter was telling us in the 70s that we were going to run out of oil in 10 years and since then oil production has gone way up. Every commodity on this planet is cheaper in real dollars now then ever. Every 20 years or so the Malthusian people-haters pop up to spout their stupid theories. I just wish all Malthusians would commit suicide if they really think we are killing the planet.
This article is absolutely correct. If you read John B. Taylor's book he explains in great detail why the Fed keeping interest rates at effectively 0% for so long helped prolong the recession. Our political economic system was so afraid of a recession that they caused this mess and now appear to think that they can regulate and spend their way out of it. Good luck.
The article says "A policy of avoiding small recessions has resulted in the biggest downturn since the 1930s." This reminds me of the way putting out small forest fires makes really big ones more likely, because small forest fires help clear the underbrush that otherwise can build up and become fuel for a major conflagration. Perhaps allowing the business cycle to happen normally might also serve a useful function by clearing out the economic underbrush? At the very least, if small downturns were more common there would be fewer traders with no personal memory of a bad market!
The New Deal was not nearly so large a Keynsian stimulus as most people think; FDR was actually a fiscal conservative with a deep fear of deficit spending. What the New Deal really did was help those hardest hit by the Depression in various practical ways. If our current mess leads to another Great Depression, which I fear could happen, rich country governments will find themselves under enormous pressure to help suffering people at the same time as fiscal reality prevents any big spending programs. Maybe this will finally bring us practical public-private collaborative solutions that get things done efficiently. Or maybe gridlock will prevent sensible action. I wish I knew which will prevail.
@forsize - 'the economist continues to fully endorse mindless hyper keynesianism'
Bizarre statement
"......Roosevelt and his wife still the most famous people...."
That may well be but not for the reasons you describe.
Nations do not own wishing wells where wealth could be thrown in, if all else fails.
This is what socalled QE is about,futile attempts to revive lame ducks at the expense of tax payers.
They, the USA ,UK and may be others of the same mindset, know in the heart of their hearts that it is not going to work.
You can not visit all the casinos in the town every night and be winner every time !
Have you ever tried asking for a lift from a tycoon riding in his RR?
Why is Roosevelt and his wife still the most famous people in USA.
Because at the time of the crisis they took the money where it was.
The 700 Billion package in the US could had been financed with 90% of
the fortune top 100 and the 100 th would still had 200 Million of wealth...
In time of crisis just take the money where it is,the super rich wealth had ballooned in the last decades because they were the most to benefit globalisation(tax heaven,chepaer labor cost,hedge funds,bubbles).
Increasing tax,cut spendings is just plainly foolish when 90% has already supported the free markets globalisation burden.
I am not dreaming when i see slums emerging at the outskirts of europe biggest cities for around 3 years.
Then talk about spendings cuts when at the same time a big real estate project financed by international investors is being built next to it.
Just think where the money is and where it should it taken....
@ Left of Che
Arbitrary upper limits on growth are theoretical concepts to lend respect to most Economic Models that Economists could dream of.
Unfortunately , one size will not fit all ,however elegent it may look,mathematically speaking.
On humanist level we all have enough for our needs but never sufficient to satisfy our greeds,as Ghandi once observed.
That applies to individuals or Nation-States.
Wealth with power creats illusions that very few mortals could escape,especially while dispensing justice.
Given troops of monkies and large supply of typewriters,they may come up with economic solutions that best brains would envy.
They never complain or explain just love being rewarded with peanuts !
@ ZrMKRKNoeE
I would agree with you, just that in a world with limited ressources your approach has its borders, and eventually massive inflation would set in, no matter what the Federal government does. It seems to me that this would happen sooner rather than later, cause we are already very close to the carrying capacity of our planet.
@Lucano You might be right in what concerns to the full release of 2nd world markets as the perestroika took place and many other procedures did, but , as a matter of fact, latinamerica always had a strong investment from 1st world countries. Moreover, that`s the main cause why some revolutions took place as Velasco and Perón did in Perú and Argentina, respectively; just to mention some cases.
Buttonwood says that governments are "out of options". This may be true of countries like Greece and Ireland, who do not control their currency, but it is certainly not true of countries that issue their own currency, like the States, Japan, and the UK.
Take the States. The Federal government issues its own currency, and all their Federal debt is denominated in dollars. Since they can create currency at will, they can buy anything for sale priced in dollars, and they can pay any bill invoiced in dollars. They can buy as much of the output of the country as for sale, since they can credit the sellers bank account with newly created dollars.
If the problem is a stubborn recession, the Federal government always can buy the output - or directly employ the unemployed - to replace the demand lost as households spend less. Since they issue their own currency, they can never default, and they will always pay their bills.
This will only cause inflation if the Federal government makes goods scarce because they buy too much. But the economy is far from this today: a reserve army of the unemployed means that the employed have no leverage to demand higher wages; companies have surplus capacity - if one company tries to raise prices, then other companies will gladly produce more at lower prices with their spare capacity.
Isn't it obvious to one and all that it's just unsustainable for the rich countries to still be working 40 hour weeks, taking month-long summer vacations and enjoying huge social security benefits while the developing ones are working their asses off all year long with minimal government guarantees?
There's no easy way out. Times of manipulative fiscal stimuli and intellectual domination of the West over the emerging countries are long past, it's time to accept the reality that the quality of life can't improve by much in developed nations anymore. Period.
Suppose there is an upper limit to the long-term rate of economic growth in advanced capitalist trading countries. Suppose that rate has already been surpassed and the long forecast is recession towards the mean, meaning stagnation and contraction with a few aberrant jumps toward the unsustainably high trend lines that were projected in "zero-gravity" economic models. Congratulations, in following this exercise you have shown more imagination than the majority of politicians and economists appear to be capable of. (Apologies for sentence structure.)
Surely the smartest monkeys on earth can come up with economic structures that don't require constant compounding growth to paper over the holes. (Apologies for awkward metaphor.)
Policy makers used to understand that frequent mild downturns were the way to clear the deadwood without burning down the forest. I distinctly remember from my childhood talking heads on TV, solemnly agreeing that a President ought to have his recession as early in his term as possible.
Alan Greenspan is by far the worst thing to happen to the financial system of the US since the Great Depression.

Hi all,
I'm new to the forum, and I've just recently gotten my CCW for Ohio. I've got a Springfield XD .45 right now, and I lvoe shooting it, but I'm looking for something a little more svelte for carry purposes.
Here's what I've narrowed my choices down to:
1. S&W SW1911PD 4-1/4", Novak sight, CT lasergrips
2. Colt 1911 XSE Lightweight Commander, Stainless
3. Dan Wesson Commander Classic Bobtail
(Sorry if I'm not using all the correct abbreviations, but I've been reading posts for a while, and sometimes the acronyms read like Greek to me!)
Of the three I have listed, which would you recommend, and why?
Looking forward to your comments!

This is a brialliant find at the back of Nerja. The start is a very flat ramble up a stream, you paddle and the deepest it gets is about thigh high. There a few dip pools which are full of kids and dogs at the weekends. You can walk up as far as you want to go for 2 hours - if you have had enough just turn round and ramble back to the car. Great fun to do with kids.
After 2 hours it gets harder with a scramble up a series of small waterfalls and up to the old arabic irrigation channels which loop back round - this is a full day walk and not for anyone who has a porblem with heights.

"This means that if given as a therapeutic agent, the compound would be unlikely to have ill-effects on healthy normal cells, and therefore would not be expected to have significant side effects," explains Dr. Melnick. "Since emerging data implicates BCL6 in other tumor types in addition to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, it is possible that BCL6-targeted therapy could benefit many other cancer patients."
Dr. Melnick is among the physician-scientists supported by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Scholar Award Program. Since 2005, LLS has funded research in Dr. Melnick's laboratory, much of which has been focused on developing better treatments for patients with B-cell lymphomas. Dr. Melnick is also the leader of a Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation Program Grant, which directly supported the effort to design small molecules for the BCL6 hot spot by the Melnick, Priv and Mackerell research team. The results of Dr. Melnick's work in this area led the LLS to form a drug discovery partnership with Forma Therapeutics to improve these drugs so they can be used in human clinical trials for hematological malignant cancers.

Yuwa Yokota's Bharatanatyam is 'just-so,' i.e., exactly as it is meant to be. Not clinical but correct -- the difference being that the former does not have heart whereas the latter does. One can see that Yuwa's every move came from understanding, experiencing and identifying with the culture and tradition behind it.
She is Japanese, a theatre artist who was drawn to Bharatanatyam on a visit to India. Besides her training in Japan, she has been learning in Chennai under dancer-teacher A. Lakshman, and is at present training with dancers N. Srikanth and Priyadarsini Govind (for abhinaya).
The recital was a coming together of good choreography and excellent execution. One was impressed with Srikanth's choreography of the varnam ('Angayarkanni,' ragamalika, Adi, Lalgudi Jayaraman) in which he played with speeds in the pure dance segments. In the opening trikalam, for example, within the vilamba kaala step he inserted faster-paced steps in a contrasting gati. He carried the same filler concept in the next korvai, with chatusram steps and tisram fillers. And after a fiery post-charanam jati, the speed suddenly dropped in the chittaswaras. This slow pace inadvertently served to bring out the beauty in the music.
The lyrics centred on Meenakshi and her reactions to Shiva and his leelas. The navarasas unfolded smoothly in brief but clear cut scenes. The dancer is a good actor and so her role play had no blurred edges. Of them, sringara was the most sensitive. However, one was not sure of the efficacy of adding the rasa name at the end of the lines as it seemed to interfere with the rhythm of the music.
The Saindhavi javali, 'Itu Sahasamulu' (Swati Tirunal) brought out the dancer's maturity. As a young girl she tries to convince Padmanabha that she is not yet ready for his advances. The character required Yuwa to be playful, yet mindful of her friendship and respect for the nayaka. This she did with maturity.
Yuva's clean nritta, commendable azhuttam and confident delineation were well-supported by N.Srikanth (nattuvangam) who led her with involvement and authority. Vedakrishnan (mridangam) gave unobtrusive support. Nandini Anand's (vocal) melodious voice was enjoyable most of the time while Kandadevi S.Vijayaraghavan (violin) impressed with his consistent form.
Keywords: Yuwa Yokota, Bharatanatyam, Japanese, dance

The WIC program is a federal grant program to 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the American Virgin Islands, and 34 Indian Tribal Organizations (Kresge, 2003). For convenience, the terms state agency or WIC state agency are used to refer to the entities administering the WIC program in these 89 locations. Working within federal regulations, the WIC state agencies oversee the targeted food assistance, nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and health and social service referral program for eligible women, infants, and children. Eligibility for the WIC program requires meeting all three of the following requirements:
Categorical Eligibility—being a member of one of these groups: pregnant woman; breastfeeding woman up to 1 year postpartum; woman less than 6 months postpartum; infant age 0 through 11 months; or young child from age 1 through 4 years;
Income Eligibility—living in a family with any of the following characteristics—income at or below 185 percent of federal poverty guidelines or enrolled in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, Food Stamp, or Medicaid programs (or other assistance program designated by the state of residence); and
Nutritional Risk—having at least one of an approved list of nutritional risk factors for a poor health outcome. Examples of nutritional risk include specific criteria for anemia, obesity, and underweight.
Those enrolled and participating in the WIC program (or their caregivers) receive the following: (1) supplemental food; (2) nutrition education; (3) breastfeeding support; and (4) referrals to health and social services, as applicable. Ideally, the supplemental food and nutrition education components complement each other. By law (U.S. Congress, Pub. L. No. 101-445, 1990), the Dietary Guidelines for Americans form the basis of federal food, nutrition education, and information programs. This means that both the food and nutrition education provided by the WIC program should be consistent with the Dietary Guidelines (see section on Nutrient Recommendations and Dietary Guidance Have Changed and Chapter 2—Nutrient and Food Priorities—for more information).
The definition of WIC supplemental foods found in the statutes has evolved (see Appendix F—Supplementary Information—Box F-1 for de-

Sevendust to Play Long-Awaited Club Gig at Revolution Next Tues.
Categories: Concert Preview
Known for dark melodies laden with churning guitars, chunky riffs, and lead singer Lajon Witherspoon's haunting timbre, Sevendust carved its niche in the alt-rock/nu-metal landscape some years back. The release of the band's third record, Animosity, in 2001 is largely regarded as the quintet's breakthrough into mainstream popularity. Still, by then they'd already landed a spot on the Mortal Kombat soundtrack with "My Ruin," from their 1997 self-titled debut (which went gold). They'd jammed onstage with Pantera's late fretboard mangler, Dimebag Darrell. And they'd played more than their fair share of mud-caked mosh pits, including Ozzfest, Woodstock 1999, and Tattoo the Earth, not to mention much less grimy appearances on Conan O'Brien and Letterman.
With Taproot and American Devils, Tuesday, December 30. Revolution, 200 W. Broward Blvd., Ft. Lauderdale. Doors open at 7 p.m.; tickets cost $24. All ages. 954-727-0950; www.jointherevolution.net.

After the Riot Games fixed the reconnection problem I was so happy! I thought to myself "Yay! I can finally play League now!" So, I played a game and right after my team won, it said i was suspended. I didnt do anything wrong. I didnt talk bad toward anyone on my team or the other team, I was helping everyone out, cheering my team on, and just having fun. Why did I get suspended?
Also, if it was because I "Left" during a game, I never did leave. It was the reconnection bug that got me. I never was in a game to leave the game. So PLEASE someone help me. I need my LoL account back v.v
Well, keep in mind that Suspensions aren't just for one game, but for the amount of times you get negatively judged in the Tribunal. Still, this whole Reconnect thing is getting out of hand.
Im never mean though! lol Im like the nicest person ever! I even talk to people who dont talk to me, and at the end of the game, if i lose i thank and tell everyone how they did a great job and tried hard. I did call my best friend stupid on there though cause me and him were kidding around so it wasnt him i know that for a fact. I just dont know what the problem is. And yeah it really is getting out of hand. I mean EVERYONE is complaining about it lol its crazy
I just got out of a game and the "Your Summoner has been suspended" Message appeared on my screen. I pride myself in being a civil player most of the time, and I can't help but think that I that this is due to me "leaving" a game I didn't get in to earlier today which caused me not to be able to be play for several hours. Riot I've been playing since Beta, I've spent hundreds of dollars on your game because I freaking love League. Please fix this.
I really hope they do. Because this really isnt good, ive never done anything wrong on league. This sucks
Anyonee know anything about this please?
Im in! Thank you riot!!!!
