Joe Biden: "Spread Your Legs, You're Gonna Be Frisked"
The vice president makes Sen. Heidi Heitkamp's swearing in, um, memorable.
The vice president makes Sen. Heidi Heitkamp's swearing in, um, memorable.
Vice President Biden swore in Baldwin on Thursday, along with other senators elected this past November. The Wisconsin lesbian is the first out LGBT senator in the nation's history.
Biden seals the deal. With his former colleagues in the Senate, anyway.
The former solicitor general Robert Bork, who passed away Wednesday morning, faced one of the sharpest takedowns in the history of Supreme Court nominations.
Sometimes, they get it so right.
Mitt and Ann go to the local Costco in San Diego. He's pulling a Biden!
"I told him he has too much work to do and I wasn't going to have him building roller coasters," Obama jokes at K'Nex factory. Warns Republicans that "I've been keeping my own naughty and nice list in Washington."
70 years of malarkey. Happy birthday, Veep.
Uncle Joe turns the big ol' 70 today. But he's basically like 25. Where does he get his young, boyish energy? Here's a theory.
Leslie meets her hero.
The then-Senator appeared on the popular 1990s game show Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego? in November 1993. (H/t to David Montgomery, who first found the clip.)
Leslie Knope will finally meet her perfect man (other than Ben Wyatt, of course) in an upcoming episode of the show.
Let the tax battles begin.
Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.
Four years later, the passion thrives.
On stage in Chicago, the VP doesn't hide his emotion.
A grateful chattering class thanks Joe Biden and John Sununu.
Definitely. No question.
It's hard to believe this thing is finally wrapping up. A look back at the campaign's most memorable magazine covers.
"Now voting, Joe Biden." Coy again about a 2016 run.
He will never stop being Joe Biden.
The Vice President delivered pizzas from Benny Marconi's to campaign volunteers in Roanoke, Virginia, on Monday.
"He's arguably more important to them than Joe Biden because Joe Biden makes a mistake at every single event he goes to."
It's missing North Carolina and Colorado.Paging the Obama campaign.
The vice president pleads with supporters in the crucial battleground state. "We need you, Ohio. We need you!"
Carrying his misshapen heart around for everyone to see. (via twitter.com)
The VP forgets an important word.
The storm, the jobs numbers, and the last decisions.
Politics is left to the bottom of the ticket in Sandy's shadow.
Awkward exchange on the campaign trail in Florida.

Super One Rotax Series - Shenington Report
Josh White
(Photo: Chris Walker - kartpix.net)
Blessed with exceptionally hot and sunny weather, 181 drivers had entered the second round of 2011 Ginetta Cars sponsored series, including for the first time a Chinese driver, as well as several other drivers from Europe. Mini Max entrant Yue Yang Sun from Shanghai was with the Paul Carr Racing team for the weekend and he hopes to take in another couple of rounds later in the year. Shenington is at the north end of Oxfordshire, in the English Midlands, and the circuit is just over 1km in length, offering plenty overtaking opportunities. The next round is at Rowrah in the Lake District, on 5th June where the Clerk of the Course will be expecting better driving standards.
Mini Max
Ross Gunn was the only driver to dip into the 43s during timed qualifying, with Ben Hingeley a smidgeon behind, although Dan Fazzone set a new lap record of 43.70 in the first final. Although Gunn took the first heat, Piers Hickin won his two to earn pole for the first final to lead the first lap, then swapped places twice with Ross Gunn before falling behind Harry Webb. Much trading of the lead position followed with Webb, Gunn and eventually Josh White going clear of Lemuel Pay to win. Piers Hickin, Webb and Hingeley were all given four place penalties, leaving Gunn third over Jack Mitchell who had roared up from grid twenty. Pay was gutted when his kart failed to start for the second final, whilst White and Gunn pulled away, saving their fight for later. Webb cleared the next bunch, but only until Hingeley got fully into gear, and arrowed through for third whilst Webb backed the others up. Gunn had a brief spell in the lead, but White quickly recovered to seal his second win.
Final 1
1 Josh White (Tonykart)
2 Lemuel Pay (RK)
3 Ross Gunn (Tonykart)
4 Jack Mitchell (Tonykart)
5 Greg McKenzie (Kosmic)
Final 2

Rotax Max 177
Tom Holland just skipped onto the top of the timed qualifying sheet ahead of David Griffiths and Lucas Orrock, but Orrock soon set the scene for the weekend with two heats wins over Griffiths. The pair quickly put space behind them on James Darch in the first final. Darch managed to throw off a challenge by Colin Davis, retaking third but then unfortunately finding himself underweight and excluded, leaving Tom Pyttlik in that position over Davis. At the front, nine seconds ahead such was their pace, Griffiths managed twice to snatch the lead, but both times Orrock recovered it to win. For the second final, Griffiths was unable to hang onto Orrock, who cruised to a five second victory whilst Griffiths was caught by the next pack. Davis had jumped ahead of Pyttlik for third, and held him off until the penultimate lap when he succumbed to the challenge. Tom Holland was fifth.
Final 1
1 Lucas Orrock (Kosmic)
2 David Griffiths (GMS)
3 Tom Pyttlik (Alonso)
4 Colin Davis (Tonykart)
5 Danny Andrew (Gillard)
Final 2

2 Griffiths
3 Pyttlik
4 Davis
5 Tom Holland (Alonso)

Honda Cadet
The Honda powered Cadets are really coming into their own this year, with a full grid, and long trains of very evenly matched karts contesting every position. Last years champion Billy Monger, now a Super Cadet star, was a guest driver testing a Birel for his Prima team, and set 13th in TQ, whilst Max Wieteska, Ben Thompson and Jack Young headed the table. Wieteska and Thompson took the heat wins, the latter on pole for the first final which was quickly red-flagged to attend to Gordon Mutch, granting a reprieve to Kyle Petricca who had come off on the opening lap. At the restart Thompson led, until Jordan Brown-Nuttley usurped the position, followed by Monger going to the fore. After much trading with Jack McCarthy and Young, McCarthy went out ahead but was reeled back by Thompson and Mitchell. McCarthy went off but restarted as Mitchell claimed the win over Thompson and Petricca, with Monger fourth on the road but penalised five places. Mitchell soon lost his lead to Young in the second final, the latter leading an eight kart train until the last lap. Mitchell ran wide at the Stratford hairpin, allegedly pushed by McCarthy, with Luke Wooder coming second and Thompson taking a wide line to stay in third. Along with Brown-Nuttley, McCarthy was docked five places and then lost his appeal to the Stewards. He has now appealed the penalty further to the National Court so the results are provisional.
Final 1
1 Sandy Mitchell (Project One)
2 Ben Thompson (Project One)
3 Kyle Petricca (Project One)
4 Alex Quinn (Project One)
5 Max Wieteska (Zip)
Final 2 (Provisional)
1 Luke Wooder (Project One)
2 Thompson
3 Mitchell
4 Jack Young (Project One)
5 Billy Monger (Birel)

Junior Max
In the class with the largest entry totalling 54 karts, it was always going to be tough in qualifying, but rookie Oliver Pidgley did the business on his Kosmic, overcoming Adam Mackay, Sam Ward and Rob Holland. And it was Nathan Harrison, Ward and Harrison again who took the heats whilst Holland was taken off in the first, putting him down on grid 19 for the first final. But first, the repechage qualifiers were Shaun Arnold, Luke Whitworth, George Line and Charlie Streather whilst Pidgley failed to make the cut. Harrison led them away from pole followed by Callum Pointon then Ryan Morgan leapfrogging Ward. The Turk Kaan Onder lost his nose fairing and had to retire. Harrison left the rest for dead, a seven second victory his, whilst Jack Barlow vaulted into second over Ward with Pointon, Mackay, Morgan and Levi Coombs catching them at the flag. The second final was no sinecure for Harrison as he was pressed hard by Ward and Barlow throughout, and indeed had to re-take the lead from both mid-race. Sam Marsh had a good start and reached fourth ahead of Coombs and Holland whilst Onder was black flagged for a third offence.
Final 1
1 Nathan Harrison (Tonykart)
2 Jack Barlow (Tonykart)
3 Sam Ward (Kosmic)
4 Callum Pointon (Tonykart)
5 Adam Mackay (Tonykart)
Final 2
1 Harrison
2 Ward
3 Barlow
4 Sam Marsh (Tonykart)
5 Mackay

Rotax Max
Oliver Hodgson beat Edward Brand by a hundredth of a second in the TQ, Brand winning both his heats whilst Shaun Slavin and Andy King took the other two. First round winner Charlie Eastwood was having a torrid time, with a flat tyre in qualifying, then black flagged in a heat. He would finish second to Charlie Turner in the repechage, Jack Saffery and open champion Ross Wylie also going through to the main finals. Brand held onto the lead in the first final for a couple of laps but when Andy King slipped down the inside at Wilkins hairpin, having just passed his fellow CRG driver Ash Hand, Brand was hung out to dry and fell to seventh. He wasted little time climbing back to third, but King was over three seconds distant, and Hand was in no mood for a pass. In the second final, John Stewarts nightmare weekend continued when his chain guard went missing and he had to retire. Slavin and Jake Ball were joined by James Robinson at the back after various incidents but at the front King was in charge with Hand slotted in behind. On the ninth lap, Hand made his move, demoting King behind Brand in third, then a lap later Brand took the lead and eased away. King managed to regain second over Hand, with Lewis Plato and Hodgson completed that group. Danny Russell stormed up from the back to sixth after an off in the first final. A protest has been lodged which will be heard at the next round so the results are provisional.
Final 1
1 Andy King (CRG)
2 Ash Hand (CRG)
3 Ed Brand (Tonykart)
4 James Robinson (Tonykart)
5 Lewis Plato (Tonykart)
Final 2 (Provisional)
1 Brand
2 King
3 Hand
4 Plato
5 Oliver Hodgson (Tonykart)

Just like its name implies, Shopkick is an app geared toward improving the retail experience. Brands like Target, Best Buy, and Macy's have already partnered with Shopkick, which now has more than 3 million active users who helped drive a reported $110 million in in-store revenues for the app's partners in 2011.
What's interesting about Shopkick is that it leverages the smartphone to act as a digital overlay inside the store. The app rewards users with points (known as "kicks") for entering partner stores, browsing selected items, and making purchases. Users can also read product reviews from the community inside the store before they make a purchase. And because the app can be linked with a user's Visa card, marketers have more than just a geo-targeted couponing platform -- they have a window into consumer shopping patterns at the point of sale.
But putting insights aside, Shopkick has the long-term potential to revolutionize the way retail marketers approach another problem -- getting consumers into the store in the first place. Recently, Shopkick began experimenting with rewards offers designed to drive foot traffic on non-peak days. Dubbed "Black Friday 2," the experiment demonstrates the ability of Shopkick and its partners to transform a typical shopping day into a hype-worthy event. Of course, with the power to drive foot traffic at Black Friday levels any day of the year, Shopkick and its partners will have to drill down on targeting to make sure that they don't burn out consumers.

Exit poll: Ex-PM Pahor wins Slovenia presidency
LJUBLJANA, Slovenia (AP) — Former Slovenia Prime Minister Borut Pahor won the presidential election Sunday, calling for unity in the tiny EU nation where discontent has been mounting with government budget cuts and other austerity measures designed to avoid a bailout.
"There is a way out and we must find it together," Pahor said in his victory speech. "We must not turn against each other."
Sunday's vote came just days after anti-austerity protests in Ljubljana, the capital, erupted into clashes that left 15 people injured, triggering fears this normally placid Alpine nation of 2 million was heading into instability.
Several hundred protesters waving banners gathered Sunday in the eastern town of Krsko, even as snow blanketed the country, disrupting traffic in some parts and contributing to a low election turnout.
Slovenia, once an economic star among EU newcomers when it joined in 2004, has faced one of the worst recessions of the 17-nation eurozone. Its economy has shrunk more than 8 percent since 2009 and continues to decline, resulting in a sharp drop in living standards and a surge in unemployment, which now stands at about 12 percent.
Pahor won 67.44 percent of the vote compared to 32.56 for his rival, incumbent Danilo Turk, according to the State Electoral Commission, after nearly all votes were counted. Final results are expected later in the week.
Although the presidency is mostly a ceremonial post, the elected leader will play an important role as the country faces painful economic reforms.
Slovenia now needs "trust, respect and tolerance," the 49-year-old left-leaning Pahor said. He urged an agreement between Slovenia's bitterly divided political groups, saying that "there is no problem that we cannot solve together."
Turk congratulated his opponent and pledged to "remain an active citizen, loyal to the Slovenian state."
Prime Minister Janez Jansa's center-right government has launched pension and labor reforms, made public sector cuts and moved to recapitalize the nation's banks, which are at the center of the financial crisis because they are burdened by bad loans. Continued...
But Jansa's reforms have somewhat been stalled because of the political divisions. The opposition has demanded a referendum on the banking law, fueling EU concerns that Slovenia will not be able to carry out the promised reforms.
Pahor, whose own, center-left government fell last year because it was unable to tackle the economic crisis, has been sympathetic to Jansa's position, telling the AP that "I know what it means to be the prime minister at the time of crisis."
Although he is Jansa's political opponent, Pahor has supported some of the austerity moves, saying that reform is the only way out of the crisis and that Slovenia must show to Europe that it was able to pull out of trouble on its own.
Analyst Tanja Staric believes that Pahor won support by "systematically building an image of a politician who shares the destiny of the people."
Turk — a fierce critic of the reforms — has argued that Jansa's cost-cutting has not been equally distributed and will only hurt the poor.
Turnout among Slovenia's 1.7 million voters was lower than in the first round — in another sign of voters' discontent.
Worried Slovenes said they hoped the election would bring a sense of security.
"I think things will start to calm down from today," said 86-year-old retiree Mihael Grund, who ventured out early despite drizzle and cold to cast his ballot. "We have had so much tension recently and that is a big worry for us."
Thousands joined demonstrations in the capital of Ljubljana on Friday and in the second-largest city of Maribor earlier in the week. Both rallies ended in riots, with police using water cannons and tear gas to repel rock-throwing extremists.
Some Slovenes, like 35-year-old high-school teacher Igor Vulic, say no politician can bring about any change and that Slovenia needs new leaders. Continued...
"They should just all go," he said.

Written by: Becky Hunter in Becky Hunter's Random Bits of Wisdom on May 21, 2012
Joel is from Shelby, Ohio. It's where he was born and raised. Reminders of his hometown are not too hard to come by in our family. A picture of his hometown church hangs in his office, and a photo of his childhood home sits on a shelf. A souvenir glass from his 1965 championship high school football season boasts in a faded red and grey "Go Whippets!" When our sons were young we even had a dog named Shelby. (She was a Lhasa-Poo, not a Whippet, so the name was a bit of a stretch, but we made it work.)
Memorial Day weekend we'll be in Shelby because Joel has been invited to give the commencement address to the 2012 graduates of SHS. And on Sunday morning he will preach in his hometown church; the church that sent him to seminary with its blessing and prayers. A picture of Joel taken in 1966 still hangs on the wall in the church foyer.
A weekend like this one is special. It's a reminder that what we do, how we live, in each season of life matters a lot. Results of our choices are always about more than our own spiritual maturity. Our decisions impact our families and our communities. When we make godly choices we help earth be more like heaven.
"Don't let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity" (1 Timothy 4:12).

Self-healing skill
From Guild Wars Wiki
Revision as of 20:34, 17 August 2011 by Tennessee Ernie Ford (Talk | contribs)
A self-healing skill is any skill included in a build primarily for the purpose of restoring the health of the user, as opposed to a healing skill which is used to do the same for allies or party-members. The term is also used in the literal sense for skills that do nothing other than heal the user (e.g. Healing Signet).
Some players advise always including a self-heal in a build (especially for PUGs). However, efficient and organized team builds rely on designated healers, freeing up one or more slots for the other members.
[edit] List of self-healing skills
- Ranger
- Heal as One (does not require a pet)
- Troll Unguent
- Monk
- Contemplation of Purity
- Monks can use common healing skills as self heals.
- Assassin
- Death's Charge
- Death's Retreat (requires an ally)
- Feigned Neutrality
- Heart of Shadow
- Shadow Refuge
- Shadow Sanctuary
- Paragon
- Leader's Comfort
- Signet of Synergy (requires an ally)
- "Help Me!"
- Non-Attribute PvE Skills
- Ebon Escape (requires an ally)
- Junundu Bite
- Junundu Wail
- Siege Devourer Feast
[edit] Other methods
There are a few other ways to keep your own health up without using direct healing skills:
- Life stealing skills can be used for the same practical purposes as self healing, though they work through a different mechanic and have the downside of requring a living foe (or minion, for Taste of Death) in range.
- Skills that increase maximum health can temporarily function as heals, but when they end the health is removed.

I wish I could invite you to a garden party this week.
I would make a fudge pie.
Along with some sweet tea.
I don't know exactly how I would set the table.
I know I would use my blue dishes
and, my grandmother's green glasses.
I have a few ideas on the centerpiece. . .
I like sweet tea.
Let me rephrase that. . .
. . . I LOVE sweet tea.
As a child, I went straight from milk to sweet tea.
My mama packed in my thermos every day for lunch.
No Kool-aid for me as a child.
I have never read the book,
How to Win Friends and Influence People.
I know that Mr. Carnegie offers some great advice.
But, I feel confident that somewhere between;
"Offer genuine appreciation."
Should have been;
"Bake Aunt Lois's fudge pie."
Because if you are wanting to win friends,
influence people,
(or bribe your children.)
You need to have this recipe.
I think shopping for a rug is the equivalent to
shopping for blue jeans. . .
You need the item,
you just can't seem to find one that will do?
I have been rug shopping for a year.
Not straight.
On and off.
Why couldn't I find a rug (or jeans)?
1. I am cheap.
2. I measured and remeasured trying to find the perfect fit.
3. I wanted something basic, yet with personality.
4. Did I mention that I am cheap?
I used to pray for twin boys.
Oh, the fun they would have. . .
the mischief they would get into. . .
the great laughs they would share. . .
I have no feeling in my pointer finger. . .
One of the hazards of spray paint.
Forget the toxic fumes,
or the detrimental affects on the ozone.
No one ever mentions the dangers to the trigger finger.
Sometimes I wonder if I might be a bit of a redneck?
I laugh at most, "You might be a redneck. . . " jokes.
There are a few that I can relate to. . .
And, others that I get ideas from. . .
I have dreams.
Dreams of a sparkling clean house. . .
Dreams of an organized garage that you can actually park a car in. . .
Dreams of a Kitchen Scale blue pick-up truck. . .
We were sitting at the dinner table last night,
when my oldest daughter, Daisy said with a smile,
"I learned something new about myself today."
It is always fun to make new discoveries about yourself.
I thought maybe she was going to share a new food she likes.
Or, a new interest that she has.
A crazy thing happened at my house the other day.
I have heard of this thing happening at other people's houses. . .
I have seen it on movies. . .
But, I have never experienced it first hand.

INDIA: Weak monsoon not likely to hit UP cane
Published: 07/18/2012, 2:23:27 PM
The weak monsoon so far has been playing truant and sugarcane production in states like Maharashtra and Karnataka have already dipped, according to India's CNBC-TV18.
In a situation like this, the Uttar Pradesh government is looking to introduce a special package for the state's sugar companies.
In an interview with CNBC-TV18, Vivek Saraogi, MD of Balrampur Chini sounded hopeful on the policy front, about rational cane pricing and other issues related to sugarcane production in UP.
Although, rainfall has been deficient in most parts of the country, Saraogi said, it is just perfect in east UP. However, according to an estimate by the Indian Sugar Mills Association (ISMA), production could be close to 25 million tonnes, he informed.
He is quite optimistic about production and feels that even if the bad monsoon affects states like Karnataka and Maharashtra, where production could be lower by 20%, it will not lead to a huge mismatch in the demand-supply equation. Rather, it will be much more balanced this year.

Frequently Asked Questions about Counseling "What is counseling?" Counseling is when you meet with a caring professional to talk about the events, people, situations and issues that are negatively affecting your ability to live a happy and productive life.

"How do I start counseling?" Start your healing process by calling our Intake Coordinator at 517-423-6889. The Intake Coordinator will ask you for some basic personal and insurance information. (Masterpeace does not obtain personal background information through the internet.) The Intake Coordinator will verify your insurance coverage (if you have insurance) and match your needs with one of our qualified therapists.

In order to better serve you, we participate with over fifty insurance plans including, but not limited to, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, M-Care, PPOM, Aetna, ComPsych, Cigna, and Value Options.

Someone Like You
Screenplay : Elizabeth Chandled (based on the novel Animal Husbandry by Laura Zigman)
MPAA Rating : PG-13
Year of Release : 2001
Stars : Ashley Judd (Jane Goodale), Greg Kinnear (Ray Brown), Hugh Jackman (Eddie Alden), Ellen Barkin (Diane), Marisa Tomei (Liz)
Someone Like You is about a decent woman who is burned by love, turns into a romantic cynic, then finds love again and ends the movie by disavowing her cynicism.
Ashley Judd stars as Jane Goodale, a casting agent who works for a local New York City talk show hosted by Diane (Ellen Barkin), an aggressive woman who is intent on hitting the big time. Jane becomes involved with Ray Brown (Greg Kinnear), a new executive producer on the show. Jane is sure that this is it, that Ray is the one. Ray charms her with romance and attention, and even asks her to live with him. The only problem is that Ray has been dating another woman for three years, and he is having trouble breaking it off even though he continually asserts that it's over. It turns out that Ray is not as ready to commit to being with Jane as he had led on, and Jane is left not only emotionally crushed and heartbroken, but without a place to live because she gave up her lease thinking she was going to move in with Ray.
Desperate for a roof over her head, Jane takes up an offer from another coworker, Eddie Alden (Hugh Jackman, in his first role since playing Wolverine in X-Men), to be his roommate. Eddie is a compulsive womanizer, a slick piece of work who views casual sex as "liberating" while Jane asserts that he is simply burying his emotions in promiscuity. Jane and Eddie end up making an interesting pair in that both of them appear to have practically given up on finding romance, although Jane's cynicism runs much, much deeper.
Her cynicism runs so deep, in fact, that she begins studying up on animal sexuality and psychology in order to lend scientific credence to her dark feelings. In The New York Times Science section, she runs across an article about how bulls will only mate with cows once, and then lose interest, which she then extrapolates to humans. She realizes that she is "the old cow," and Ray, "the bull," has simply moved on to "a new cow." Jane's wielding of her "New Cow Theory," phrases like "copulatory impulse," and statistics about only 5% of male animals being monogamous inspires her friend Liz (Marisa Tomei), who works as an editor at a major men's magazine, to ask her to write a column on men under a pseudonym. Thus, under the guise of a 65-year-old psychologist with a Ph.D. from Vienna, Jane begins spreading her cynical romantic findings, which, of course, strikes a chord with millions of readers.
The rather lengthy plot developments all point toward the eventual blossoming of romance between Jane and Eddie, the two romantic cynics, but to the movie's credit, that development is slow and believable, if not entirely unpredictable. The screenplay by Elizabeth Chandler, based on the novel Animal Husbandry by Laura Zigman, inserts amusing title cards to establish the various stages of Jane's romantic development ("Attraction," etc.), and also throws in a few bits of humorous fantasy, such as when Jane imagines that a TV announcer is discussing on the air how she's been stood up by Ray for a date.
Ashley Judd is such an attractive, appealing, and energetic actress that it is virtually impossible not to like her. Even when she's in the deepest throws of cynical depression and you know that she's ruining her own life by feeling sorry for herself, you can't help but side with her. Judd's performance is nicely attuned to the character, and she does an excellent job with the little looks and gestures that make her emotions feel real (watch her face and eyes when Ray breaks up with her at a restaurant). Hugh Jackman maintains a certain stoic aloofness throughout much of the movie, although he warms up at the right moments. Greg Kinnear, on the other hand, must be getting tired of playing slimy, conniving men who draw the ire of decent women, but he does it so well that he will probably continue to be cast in these roles.
All in all, Someone Like You is an enjoyable romantic comedy with a slightly darker twist that is, of course, perfectly resolved in the end. The story gets strained near the end, especially when it requires a big climax in which Jane reveals her true identity as the Cow Theory psychologist on Diane's live talk show. The probability of this scenario is so low that it draws undue attention to the obviousness of Jane's "What I've learned is..." speech that follows. After all, how hard would it have been for the staffers at Diane's show to figure out that this fictional psychologists is a pseudonym when her biography states that she founded an institute in Vienna that doesn't exist? Ten minutes of background checking on the Internet could have uncovered that.
Still, despite the bad ending, director Tony Goldwyn (A Walk in the Clouds) has a light touch and a good feel for humor, and he makes most of it work quite well. Judd and Jackman have a nice chemistry that's rewarding, and even if the material they're working with isn't exactly new, the movie is put together with just enough inventiveness and charm to keep you involved.

Lions and Hearing Awareness
How You Can Help
You can take an active role in hearing awareness by promoting hearing loss prevention and providing support for the deaf or hearing impaired. Here are some ways you can help.
Lion clubs appoint one member to serve as their Hearing Preservation, Awareness and Action chairperson. The council chairperson and district governor appoint a multiple district and district Hearing Preservation, Awareness and Action chairperson, respectively.
Club, district and multiple district-level chairpersons develop service projects which aid persons who are deaf or hard of hearing. Before implementing a hearing service project, it is suggested that Lions contact local government and private agencies (including Lions hearing foundations) for the deaf or hard of hearing. This can eliminate the duplication of services. In addition, local agencies that have ongoing projects may be in need of additional assistance.
Hearing Awareness
You can help educate the public about hearing impairments and prevention of hearing loss:
- Participate in health fairs and distribute information about deafness, hearing impairment and hearing loss prevention.
- Compile a list of local resources including the names of healthcare professionals for diagnosing hearing loss; the names of vendors for the purchase of new or used hearing devices; and vocational training programs.
- Create public awareness of noise levels and support noise abatement efforts.
- Donate books and other educational materials about deafness and hearing impairment to the local library.
- Determine the availability of a Lions district or multiple district hearing van and organize a hearing screening.
- Support recreational camps for children and adults who are deaf or hearing impaired. For information, refer to the list of special needs camps.
- Get involved in the Lions Hearing Aid Recycling Program.
Examples of Lions Hearing Awareness Projects
- The Lions of Multiple District 105 (British Isles and Ireland), created the "Deaf Aware" program to promote and encourage better communication with the hearing impaired. The Lions also distribute safety door hangers for hotels and guest houses, which are designed to assist those with disabilities in an emergency.
- In India, the Lions of District 324-D3 produced pamphlets in regional languages explaining deafness, possible treatments, and job training opportunities.
- The Lions of District 35 (Florida, USA) worked with government officials for the passage of a new state law requiring hearing screenings for newborn babies.
- Lions in Missouri, USA, sponsored billboards that informed the public about hearing and deafness.
- In Alberta, Canada, the hearing chairman for Lions District 37-E, used puppets, coloring books, audiotapes, and videotapes to teach children about hearing loss.
- Lions provide support to Hearing Ear Dog Schools.
For More Information About Hearing Awareness

Rogers Park's first Winter Farmers' Market, sponsored by the United Church of Rogers Park Social Action Committee in partnership with Faith in Place and Churches Land & People, was a smashing success today.
Baked goods, fresh produce, salsas, cheeses, grass fed meats and local crafts were happily purchased by Rogers Parkers and others from the city eager to buy local!
Here are a few more photos of some of the items available. It was very exciting to see so many people come out and be so positive and receptive to a Winter Market. This bodes very well for the Glenwood Sunday Market come June 6th!

ExteriorsLincoln offers a selection of four exterior collections for patio doors including: aluminum clad, hybrid, primed and natural wood. |
StylesIn-Swing Patio DoorsMake a statement with Lincoln's most popular door product. In-swing doors blend with almost every architectural theme and they are incredibly stylish. Secure multipoint hardware makes a Lincoln in-swing door both beautiful and strong. In-swing doors feature an optional 6-9/16" exterior extension jamb. Adjustable hinges are standard (residential) and ball-bearing hinges (light commercial) are available. Easy operating sliding screens feature extruded framing for superior strength. |
Out-Swing Patio DoorsLincoln Out-Swing door products are packed with performance and are the platform for StormPoint impact rated doors. Simply put, the operating sash of an out-swing door gets pushed tighter against the frame weatherstrip during nasty weather. Also, by swinging to a buildings exterior this type of door will not create an interruption to your interior décor. Durable oak thresholds are standard. Optional ADA compliant (low profile) sills are available. |
French Swing Patio DoorsA French style swing patio doors' most distinguishable feature is its ability to have both panels operate. Lincoln offers extremely functional in-swing or out-swing models that can be used for passing large objects through. An active panel operates as the primary operator and the passive panel need only be utilized when you want the entire use of the net clear opening. Our strong three-point hardware system looks great, locks securely and is available with either a handle activated bolt or choose head/foot bolts (dummy handle optional). French doors are available in 2-wide or 4-wide configurations. |
Radius Top Swing Patio DoorsEnhance your home with a little curve appeal from Lincoln. By utilizing a radius top swing patio door in your design, you incorporate a subtle accent that compliments almost any architectural theme. The radius option, available in 6' radius only, can be used with both In-Swing and Out-Swing Patio Doors. Select your radius top option for a single door or use it with our factory mulled side-lite combinations for a more dramatic statement. Whether viewed from the curb or inside your home, the gentle slope of our radius doors have lasting design appeal. |
Mid-Rail Swing Patio DoorsLincoln swing doors can be accessorized by adding a mid rail option. Rails may be added at any height and typically run horizontally. Additional divisions are made by adding a vertical rail. The spaces created then can be filled with an insulated panels or glass. Mid rails can be specified in two sizes, 4 ¾ or 6 ¾, and may be used together on the same panel. |
Panel Bottom Swing Patio DoorsA panel option door is defined by inserting a horizontal mid-rail into our swing door panel. This essentially creates an area that a panel may be inserted. Usually the panel is located on the lower part of the door sash. Rail location can vary which means panel sizes are customizable. Multiple vertical rails may be inserted on larger doors. Furthermore, panels can then be subdivided into a double panel configuration by placing a mid-rail vertically. Door panels are insulated. |
Operating SidelitesWhether you need to add more light to a room, expand your view of the outdoors, or have the convenience of ventilation without the inconvenience of a screen on your door, Lincoln's new Operating Sidelites are the perfect solution. These units are manufactured as an independent frame that can be mulled to a door or installed separately and are available with narrow or wide stiles. |

How do I apply? The preferred method to apply for open positions at Trinity is to complete an online application. Applications are reviewed daily by the Human Resource department and forwarded to the appropriate manager(s) for their review. View current employment opportunities and/or apply online.
What positions do you have available for nursing students? Patient Care Technicians at the Quad-Cities Campuses and Patient Care Assistants at Muscatine Campus provide basic care and non-technical services for patients under the direct supervision of a registered nurse. Trinity's Quad-Cities campuses require that Patient Care Technicians be a Certified Nursing Assistant with active status on any state registry. For Trinity Muscatine, Patient Care Assistants must be registered CNAs in Iowa. These positions allow CNA nursing students to gain experience in the hospital setting at the patients' bedsides.
Do you hire new graduates? Yes. RN licensure must be obtained prior to the graduate starting in his/her position in this state. New graduates are encouraged to apply for positions prior to receiving licensure.
How long are nursing orientations? Orientation for RNs is specific to the individual's needs and area in which they have been hired. New graduate RN orientation typically ranges from six to 12 weeks, but can be longer in certain specialty areas.
Who can I contact at Trinity Regional Health System to learn more about nursing careers? Direct your questions to HR Business Partners at (309) 779-2266.
Do you have 8 or 12-hour shifts available? TRHS offers both 8 and 12-hour shifts. Availability depends on the needs of the respective nursing unit.
Are part-time nursing positions available? Yes. Part-time is considered anything less than 40 hours a week or 80 hours a pay period. Benefits are available at a part-time premium for employees that are a 0.4 full-time equivalent (typically two shifts per week) to a 0.6 FTE (three shifts per week). Benefits are available at a full-time premium for those employees that are a 0.8 FTE (four shifts per week) or above.
Does Trinity offer a preceptor program? Each unit has a number of preceptors to help orient new staff. Our preceptors attend yearly updates that help provide the best possible support to our new staff. What is Trinity's nursing license policy? As the first bi-state Magnet hospital, Trinity wants to be a leader in all aspects of patient care. We have a duty to ensure a versatile work force is available to our patients and families. Achieving dual licensure status for registered nurses will allow for maximum flexibility in responding to patient care demands and assuring appropriate staffing during high demand periods. Maintenance of the nursing license in the primary work state will remain the responsibility of the employee. Trinity will cover the initial license as well as the on-going renewal costs of the secondary license. For example, if you primarily work at an Illinois campus, the Illinois license is your responsibility and Trinity will financially support the Iowa (secondary work state) license and vice versa.
How do I apply for my Illinois nursing license? The application form can be downloaded from the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. Under Licensee Application/Forms, choose the application form for Registered Professional Nurse (RN). New graduate nurses should choose the "Registered Professional Nurse Exam Packet." RNs that already are licensed in another state should choose the "Registered Professional Nurse Endorsement Packet." This information has changed so could someone please review it and point out the new links people should be directed to?
You may also request a licensure packet by mail or phone at: Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation 320 West Washington Street Springfield, IL 62786 (217) 785-0800
How do I apply for my Iowa nursing license? The application form can be downloaded from the Iowa Board of Nursing. New graduates should choose the option "Examination (NCLEX)." RNs that are already licensed in another state should choose the option "Endorsement From Another State."

Made this video this morning.
Now, I'm not saying Bashiok is wrong. I'm saying he isn't quite as accurate as we would have liked. I don't think he watched the original video in this thread:
So, what's the difference between that guy's video and the one I posted in this thread?
I wasn't lagging at all. No lag whatsoever. This is what the game is supposed to look like when it's running efficiently, and correctly.
Bashiok was correct about calculating damage/miss/hit, where the animation isn't the deciding factor of whether or not you successfully dodged. But what he isn't correct on is saying that the stuff shown in the video is intentional. It's highly misleading to say it is.
While technically, yes, it is working as intended, I could argue that no, it isn't being displayed correctly which is the actual issue here. It is wrong to say that a monster can hit you from half a screen away with a melee attack.

If anyone here has watched any, and I truly mean any kind of sporting event that involves two teams pitted against one another, you will inevitably get your fair share of obvious statements from announcers.
John Madden and Al Michaels who I consider to be very good announcers are even guilty of this. I'm not sure if it's because they have nothing left to say, or because they're required to keep talking but I tell ya, some statements are so damned obvious I'd rather just watch blank air time.
And it's not just booth announcers, it's the interviews after the game. They're just as bad. I'll show you what I mean. I've compiled 5 specific types of statements that announcers always make, that couldn't be any more obvious if they tried.
The "when a team is losing and on offense" statements
This is a classic time in a game for an announcer to point out the obvious. Nowhere is it more prevalent than in football. A team will have the ball, be down by a couple of touchdowns and inevitably someone will say "you know Bill, if they're gonna have a chance in this game, they're gonna have to put some points on the board," or "score some touchdowns. Something to that effect. In baseball, "they're gonna need to score some runs." So on and so forth. Can we get a little more obvious here? Do we as fans not know this? How about something like "I'm curious to see what kinds of plays this team will run to try and turn this thing around?" Or maybe a, "I hope this team can find some magic. Anything but "they need to score points."
The "when a team is losing and on defense" statements
"Bill, they're gonna need a stop here." "The Knicks are really gonna have to step up their defense and not allow points if they're going to win this game." Really? Really guys? So when a team is losing, one of the main things they can do to prevent a loss is to prevent the other team from scoring? Nice! Thanks for that. How about something like "Obviously what they've been doing hasn't worked up until now, let's see if the coach mixes it up a little bit."
The "when a team is winning" statements
This is almost the same thing as the losing team playing defense scenario. In baseball a team will have a lead and an announcer will say something like "The relief pitchers really can't let up runs here." Or in football, it will always be something like "If Tampa can get a stop here, they might win this game." Can we please cut this out? We're aware of this. We all know what the score is. How about "does it get more exciting than this? Will they blow it? Will they come through? It's anybody's guess!"
The "How'd You" question
Jim Gray, the most annoying interviewer of all time, is the master of of this question. Inevitably after every single game winning touchdown, shot, home run, you name it, some schmuck will always ask the player "How'd you make that shot?" "How'd you hit that home run?" And every time the player has no choice but to answer with a cookie cutter answer like "I saw a good pitch," "I had a good look" type of statement. For once I wish they'd be like "How? I have no idea how. I ran real fast and I caught the ball. That's how. I put up the shot and it went in, that's how." Can't the announcers get a little more creative? How about something like "Where does this rank in all time best moments for you?" "How much work did you put in to get to this point?" And don't get me wrong, these questions are asked from time to time, but can we just remove the dumb ones?
The "What and Why" questions
These are along the same lines as the "How'd You" questions. And once again, Jim Gray is the master at these. After every win or loss when a coach is being interviewed he's being asked "Why'd you win this game?" or "Why'd you lose this game?" or "Why'd you play such good defense?" I want to hear a coach say "Because we scored more points than them," or "Because they scored more points than us, that's why."
Let's just take out the obvious and get to the heart of who these people are. Not the obvious facts during the games. Thanks.

I would like to nominate "Here's a guy….." to the list of banned sportscaster statements. I think Stuart Scott started it in one of his pathetic attempts to be cool and in the process destroy the English language. You can't watch a baseball game, football game, or even a highlight show for 10 minutes without hearing it.
"Here's a guy, who is very close to watching broadcasts with the volume turned all the way down." -

In football on close yardage situations, at least one announcer is compelled to blurt out, "It depends on the spot!". DUH! Doesn't it always depend on the spot?

# Con 09 Oct 2008 at 10:53 am
The one I hate the most is the "I bet he'd like to have that one back." Usually referring to a QB after throwing an interception, or after a pitcher gives up a home run. Well no sh*t Einstein! Of course he'd like to have it back and do over. It's not rocket science.
# Billon 09 Oct 2008 at 3:05 pm
Charles Barkley said something like this to a "why" or "howd you" question.
"I love it when people ask me for tips and secrets on rebounding. I always just say "you jump up and get the damn ball""
Paraphrased, but you get the idea.
# Pacoon 09 Oct 2008 at 5:05 pm
How about this one:
In baseball if the player is really good, they ALWAYS say, "The guy is as good as anyone…"
WTF does that mean? Anyone? Like little leaguers? Like Babe Ruth?
Dumb dumb statement.
# Patton 09 Oct 2008 at 8:54 pm
What about "unanswered points"? The NFL broadcasters love that one. It really chafes me when a team is up by, say, 14 and the team that is down scores two TDs. Then they say "Pittsburgh was down by two scores then scored 14 unanswered points". Weren't the points answered when they went up 14-0?

"It's a reverse!" – they call this all the time when in reality it's just an end-around type of play. The reverse would be when there is a change in direction in the run, a la the original runner handing off to a runner going the other direction. The real reverse – why they call that a "double reverse". Oh, well…..

Stop using "illegal" to describe undocumented immigrants
The mainstream press should stop using the adjective "illegal" to describe immigrants.
Tagging this label on immigrants without proper documentation has become part of the American lexicon. But the word has long-lasting repercussions not only on undocumented immigrants living in the United States, but the ethnicities usually associated with them.
Immigrant-rights groups have urged the media to drop the label, but there has been some pushback.
Recently, veteran New York Times reporter Julia Preston published a post about immigration where she asserted that the term "illegal immigrant" was "accurate," and that we "shouldn't be banning an accurate term."
While her statement certainly meets the requirements of journalistic objectivity that those in the profession should aspire to, it ignores the politically charged context in which the term is used. "Illegal" is certainly not a term that undocumented immigrants chose for themselves. It has been imposed on them (and the reading public) as a defining term. This definition, long advocated for by the most virulent of the anti-immigrant crowd, i.e., the Joe Arpaios of the world, is arguably biased.
In legal terms, "illegal immigrant" is contradictory, since an "immigrant" is defined as one who has been lawfully admitted for permanent residence. If you have broken the law by overstaying your visa, for instance, you cannot be considered an immigrant in the eyes of the law.
What's more, the phrase "illegal immigrant" has been used in history as a way to stigmatize desperate people who are forced to leave their own country for economic or political reasons. In the 1930s, for instance, the British used it to refer to Jews fleeing Nazi persecution and entering Palestine "illegally."
In the strict sense of the word, "illegal" can be used to describe someone who is making a prohibited left turn or who knowingly makes a false statement on a federal or state income tax return. These illegal acts don't seem to hound the offenders as they try to live their ordinary lives, and no one complains that emergency rooms have to treat careless drivers using taxpayer money.
The term "illegal" also overlooks the circumstances that drive many undocumented workers here. A new documentary based on "Harvest of Empire," a book written by New York journalist Juan Gonzalez, makes the case that many undocumented people come to the United States as a result of our country's foreign policy.
Should the United States be tried for its part in causing the immigration of millions of Latin Americans who fled dictators friendly with Washington? How illegal are our own actions abroad?
Well, maybe that's going too far. And that's exactly the reason the mainstream media, and the rest of us, should refrain from using "illegal" to describe people whose story we don't even know.
Last I heard, in this country, we believe in the presumption of innocence.

The Detroit Red Wings traded forward Ville Leino to the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday in exchange for defenceman Ole-Kristian Tollefsen and a fifth-round pick in the 2011 NHL draft.
The Red Wings then placed Tollefsen on waivers, where he can be claimed by any team before noon et on Sunday. Detroit needs a roster spot and some cap space with a number of players, including Johan Franzen, due to return from injury. If Tollefsen clears waivers, it's likely the Red Wings will send him down to Grand Rapids (AHL).
Leino, 26, was originally signed by the Red Wings from Jokerit of the Finnish League in 2008. In 55 games over two seasons with Detroit, Leino scored nine goals and seven assists. He was re-signed as a restricted free agent to a two-year deal by the Red Wings last summer.
Tollefsen, 25, signed with the Flyers as an unrestricted free agent last July after spending his first three NHL seasons with the Columbus Blue Jackets. This season, Tollefsen had two assists in 18 games with Philadelphia, but has missed a total of 30 games because of concussion and MCL injuries.
Tollefsen was a third-round pick of the Blue Jackets in 2002.
The NHL trade deadline is March 3, but there is a roster freeze in effect during the Vancouver Olympics from February 12 at 3pm until Feb. 28 at midnight.

Alison Castle received a BA in philosophy from Columbia University and an MA in photography and film from New York University (NYU/International Center of Photography masters program). Castle also edited TASCHEN's Some Like it Hot. She lives in Paris, home of the world's best cinemas.
Stanley Kubrick was born in the Bronx, New York, and became a skilled photographer before he went into directing. He achieved fame with the fine antiwar film Paths of Glory in 1957, and his output since then has been extremely diversified. Through it all, however, runs a deep vein of pessimism. Dr. Strangelove (1964), 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), and A Clockwork Orange (1972) express his vision of an apocalyptic future, while Spartacus (1959) and Barry Lyndon (1975) reveal his dark view of futility in the past. Kubrick has been able to work independently for most of his career, enjoying the rare right to make the final cuts of his films without studio interference. Some of his other notable films are Lolita (1954), based on Vladimir Nabokov's novel, and Full Metal Jacket (1987), about troops in the Vietnam War.
Jan Harlan was Executive Producer on a number of Kubrick films, including A.I. Artificial Intelligence, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket, and Barry Lyndon.
Christiane Kubrick has lived in England teaching and exhibiting her paintings and drawings since 1961.

Master Viper is a current member of the Furious Five and a master over the Snake style of Hung Ga Kung Fu. She was born fangless into the highly-respected Viper Clan to her mother and her legendary father, Great Master Viper. She eventually went to train at the Jade Palace under the instruction of Master Shifu, in time achieving the rank of Master and becoming a member of the Furious Five alongside her fellow classmates: Tigress, Monkey, Mantis, and Crane. Viper is known to be the most gentle and compassionate of the Five, having been the only sympathetic member towards Po when he first arrived at the Jade Palace. She balances this nature of hers with her flexible, fluid and explosive fighting style, often taking advantage of her opponents by wrapping around their limbs and having them attack themselves. Kung Fu Panda Holiday Special is a DreamWorks-produced, Annie Award-winning television special based on the Kung Fu Panda franchise. The special tells of Po's struggles during the winter holidays when he is caught between his obligations as the Dragon Warrior with his master, and his family traditions with his father at the Noodle Shop. Eventually Po learns to follow his heart, thus showing the true meaning of tradition, community and family. First broadcast on NBC in 2010 with nearly 6 million viewers, the special received positive reviews from critics and public viewers alike. It won a total of five Annie Awards at the 38th Annie Awards and is now available to own on DVD and Blu-ray. The Noodle Shop is a popular noodle restaurant located in the Valley of Peace, serving as both a restaurant and home to its owners, the Ping family. Won by Mr. Ping's grandfather four generations ago, the shop currently serves as a family business, protected with a "secret ingredient" in the noodle soup. The shop is currently run by Po's adoptive father, Mr. Ping, who takes pride in the success the shop has gained in his family. The shop has previously been named "Golden Harvest Noodle Restaurant", but ever since Po's success as the Dragon Warrior, Mr. Ping has started to also sell tofu and renamed the shop "Dragon Warrior Noodles & Tofu".
