would you be okay with me including some of your mons in a giveaway? (the emerald ones you gave me rights to when i pal parked them for you over a year ago) i know you probably won't reply to this any time soon...but yeah
Hey .com have you migrated the wailmer yet(Ev training) and does it come with a nickname? You need ev training?
Just to let you know, houndoom gets counter in 4th gen via egg....so for loloriginality, you should give it body slam and/or double-edge as well before you pal park it.
no i can't trade .pkm files. :| i am busy with school so probably i can get back on march on something whenever.
Very awesome bro!!!! By the way, I was wondering, how do you reach a billion frames easier? When I was running VBA before, it took me almost a week to get to a billion frames. O_O
Well..... Don't take this wrong way, but those sound too simple. I mean they sound like common names. I'm looking for a nickname that sounds very mysterious and strong. Why not try thinking of something that sounds more mysterious? Something unique and creative. Like the names of the creatures on the avatar movie and on the fantasy stories Or Why not try coming up with a nickname by doing some of this things: 1.) looking at some other words in different foreign languages 2.) Spell a word backwards. For example - Like "Arbok" is backwards for the name "Cobra" 3.) Take the letters of one or two words apart and put it together to create a new name. For example - Like the word "Tulcibal" came from the word "Club Tail" by taking it apart and putting it to together. 4.)Or something like that.
OMG, Thanks. Ill PM you what my email is, and then like, any others I'd like (Ill try not to be greedy :p)
Ok. Thanks, I would actually :D What would you like in return? You can just wait untill you DS starts to work again if you'd like. Damn, you have some amazing Pokes. I want so many of them :p
Hey. Sorry about buggin you at home, but I REALLY want: Shiny Muchlax - Careful - 30 / 31 / 31 / 30 / 31 / 31 Caught in Net Ball from a Honey Tree. (I know I said the one from Emerald before, but I just remembered that Emerald didn't have munchlaxes, which is what I want) Please VM me :)
The reason why I'm asking you to do it for me is because sometime soon we're gonna move to another location. So, I won't be able to do it. I'll give you 15 credits for both of those. :) How long will it take on your pc? How many million frames?
Uhhhmm... I'm not sure if you'd like to do this... But I want a Milotic caught in a diveball in 3rd gen. Do you have a bold, calm, modest or timid spread that has hp electric 70 or hp grass 70?
Oh sorry. I posted a booboo. =__= It's a capture project, not a breeding project. Anyways, I'll think of a breeding project. Can you collect ribbons?

Pros – Training tools provided and some flexibility for a retail job.
Cons – Quality of merchandise has deteriorated along with the mamagement at regional and store levels. Compensation is poor. Ethics and honesty only exist between the company and it's cusomers and is sadly lacking in a lot of it's employees which is totally overlooked by management in most cases.
Advice to Senior Management – Start listening to your employees ! Most "disgruntled " employees have valid coplaints. Senior management is quite adept at "pulling the wool over the eyes " !
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Re: Hanigan to the DL, Corky Miller purchased from AAA, Masset to 60 day
Hard to fault anybody here. Most teams don't have a world beater as their second Catcher and I certainly can't find fault that the 3rd guy on the depth chart is pretty iffy. Corky is familiar with the staff and is a good influence on Mesoraco. I know most don't look beyond the stat line, but I find it hard to believe that the Reds would find a 3rd catcher who would be much of an upgrade and worth passing on the other things Corky brings to the team. With Mes shouldering the load now, having Corky around is probably pretty helpful. I do think Corky should have made a better effort to stay in better shape, but we're talking 3rd catcher on the depth chart here who is stashed in AAA. Anybody better probably is on a major league roster somewhere. By mid-season, the next guy in line may well be Tucker Barnhart. It just seems pretty low on the list of things to worry about.

Using MRI technology and mathematical analysis, researchers at Oregon Health & Science University and Washington University in St. Louis are now able to accurately predict a young person's age simply by studying their brain scans. The research, which will likely have several clinical applications, including assessment and diagnosis, is published in the current edition of the journal Science.
For several years, OHSU researcher Damien Fair, Ph.D., and his colleagues at Washington University, Nico Dosenbach, M.D., Ph.D., and Bradley Schlaggar, M.D., Ph.D., have been studying development of the brain using a technology called functional MRI. Traditional functional MRI allows for brain images to be taken while a person is performing an activity. However, in this instance, the scientists use the method to examine the brain is idle or at rest.
Previously, Fair used this information to demonstrate how brains develop throughout life. In short, when we are young, brain activity is more localized in the brain. However, as we develop, these connections in the brain become more complex and distributed - much like the way a city's transportation system becomes bigger and more complex as the city grows.
"By utilizing this approach along with complex mathematical analysis, called machine learning, we found that we could create a form of brain development yardstick, or what Dr. Dosenbach calls a maturation index," said Fair, a postdoctoral research scientist in psychiatry, OHSU School of Medicine. "Using this yardstick of sorts, we learned that you could effectively determine the subjects level of brain development."

Create Yourself a Neutral Density Filter for Under $10
Posted by Alex Wise on July 7, 2013
Ever since getting in to daytime long exposure photography I've read about people experimenting with making their own dark neutral density filters similar to that of the B+W 110 or Hoya ND400. These filters are great for day time long exposure as the filter is incredibly dark due to blocking out 10 stops of light. Rather than cough up $100 or so for one of these filters, there's been quite a bit of experimentation with using welding glass to provide a similar effect of blocking out light so you can shoot day time long exposures for under $10. As someone who owns the B+W 110 filter I'd never had much need to experiment with using welding glass as an ND filter but recently I decided to pick up a 4¼ x 3¼ 10 shade piece of welding glass to see for myself how making your own neutral density filter really compares to the proper thing. Would there be a colour cast? How would I mount the thing to the camera lens? Would there be a reflection from mounting it to the camera lens? These were the many questions I had and I'll use this post to highlight the good and bad aspects of going the DIY route for strong neutral density filters.
A day out with the welding glass and how it compared to a proper neutral density filter
Welding glass is readily available and I picked mine up from an eBay store called Bargain-Fixings. If you're having trouble finding some try searching for '4¼ x 3¼ welding glass shade' which will bring up welding glass of various shades. Later in the post I discuss the shade number and how many f-stops of light this blocks but to give you some understanding, a shade 10 is about the same as the B+W 110 in terms of darkness and the amount of f-stops blocked.
So how did it all go? My first outing using welding glass as a neutral density filter was at Gunnamatta Beach, Victoria on a windy afternoon. Unfortunately the filter was too big to fit in to my Cokin Z-Pro holder which has filters of a similar shape and size but the welding glass was too thick to fit. Some people have successfully used a Cokin filter holder but it first required them to cut down the filter. I didn't have anything appropriate to cut the filter down so it wasn't an option. Instead I went the ghetto option and used a rubber band (see below) to hold the filter. This method is discussed in detail over on photography-on-the-net and DIY Photography who deserve all credit for this idea. By using a rubber band and practically fixing the filter to the lens, it minimises reflection between the filter and lens. Using a Cokin filter holder could have potentially introduced some reflection due to the filter sitting 1-2cm in front of the lens.
How to calculate the exposure time
Before you can shoot though you need to understand how dark your welding glass is and how many stops of light it's blocking out. Welding glass comes in different levels of shade where the high the number, the more stops of light that are blocked out. For this example I'm using welding glass with a shade rating of 10. If we take a look below that works out to be around 12.8 f-stops, 2.8~ stops more than the B+W 110 neutral density filter which I normally use. Understanding how many f-stops your welding glass blocks is especially useful for calculating how long of an exposure time you will need to use.
Shade Number | F-Stop Reduction |
1 | 0.0 |
2 | 1.4 |
3 | 2.8 |
4 | 4.3 |
5 | 5.7 |
6 | 7.1 |
7 | 8.5 |
8 | 10.0 |
9 | 11.4 |
10 | 12.8 |
11 | 14.2 |
12 | 15.6 |
13 | 17.1 |
14 | 18.5 |
15 | 19.9 |
My shooting process when using welding glass and what I would do different next time
Similarly to when shooting with a strong neutral density filter like the B+W110 or Hoya 400, you will be unable to focus once the filter is attached and will need to pre-focus prior to attaching. Generally I find lenses which have barrels that extend as they zoom are a no go for this style of photography as it's easy to lose focus once you attach the filter to the front of the lens. For this reason I tend to use the Canon 17-40 over my Canon 24-70 mark II which does not have a zoom lock lever.
Once the camera is focused and the filter attached, change the camera to bulb mode and plug in your camera remote. This will allow you to get an exposure time longer than 30 seconds which your DSLR camera is constrained by. Once your ready to shoot, make sure you leave your camera in a low ISO setting to minimise noise and shoot away.
So how did I find the welding glass compared to the B+W 110 ND filter I normally use? Actually I thought it was great. Sure there were some limitations in using the rubber band method which was a bit awkward to attach and meant I couldn't use my Cokin Z-Pro graduated filters but other than that, it was a great experience.
If I do have one suggestion, go out and buy yourself a Cokin adapter ring to suit the lens you will be primarily using the welding glass with and superglue the glass to the adapter ring. This will allow you to conveniently screw the filter on with ease and not suffer from issues of light leaks due to their being minimal gap between the glass and camera lens.
How to remove the green colour cast in camera and using Adobe Photoshop
One issue with using welding glass as a neutral density filter is the colour cast it introduces. Sure other bought filters like the B+W 110 or Cokin Z-Pro filters can have colour cast of their own but welding glass takes colour cast to a whole new level. Before taking the photo there's a few things you can do in camera to minimise the colour cast by using a custom white balance. This is achieved by grabbing a white piece of paper and taking a photo of it so it fills the frame. Now set this as your custom white balance to reduce the cast. It won't remove it completely but will help slightly to decrease the amount of colour cast that the welding glass creates.
I've put together a little clip that shows how easy it is to remove the colour cast that comes from shooting with welding glass as a neutral density filter. The video walks you through how to remove the colour cast using Photoshop but can easily done in other editing programs including Lightroom.
For those unable to view the clip here's roughly how you remove the colour cast created from using welding glass in Photoshop:
- Open the raw image in Photoshop or your editor of choice
- Create a custom white balance by using the white balance tool to manually set the white point of the image. For the images used in this post I'm using the clouds as the most white point of the image
- If this method doesn't work as expected, increase the tint away from green to pink and adjust the temperature to suit
- Using a curves layer adjust the red, green and blue colour channels to further remove the colour cast
That's all there is to it. Upon seeing the strong colour cast over the image don't feel deterred as the process is easy and should only take a minute to correct. Although I did find to get the colours accurate it did take some extra effort in Photoshop jumping between the different curves colour channels to get things looking right. Something that's not an issue with the B+W or Hoya filters.
Few things to note if you're considering buying welding glass to use as a neutral density filter
As great as using a piece of welding glass as a neutral density filter is I did find there were a few issues to note. Sure the filter is fantastic as a extremely cheap alternative to the B+W 110 or Hoya ND400 but let's not glaze over the fact that there are some issues you need to be conscious of when shooting with the glass.
- The glass is a magnet for finger prints, dust and scratches. Sure other filters like the B+W 110 are also prone to getting dirty but this takes things to a new level. You can easily avoid this by only ever holding the glass by the edges and after use use an alcohol wipe or microfiber cloth to wipe the filter down
- Be mindful of how reflective welding glass can be especially when shooting in sunny conditions. If you plan on using this for long exposures into direct light then forget about it. One thing that you pay for with more expensive filters is the quality of glass used which reduces glare and image degradation
- Ignore photography purists who will tell you that using welding glass is a terrible idea as you will lose sharpness, have issues with flare and the like. I disagree. If you take a close look at this crop I have of two edited images which are both un-sharpened you can see for yourself that there is negligible difference between the two.
- Black and white is where the welding glass stands up with the B+W and Hoya filters. I dropped a black and white layer using NikSoft Silver Efex Pro on this photo shared earlier in the post and was really impressed with the result. If you put the image in front of someone not familiar I bet they wouldn't be able to pick it was actually a long exposure with welding glass and not an expensive nd filter
- Getting the colours right in post can take a bit of fiddling especially if it's something you're not used to. Compare this to the B+W 110 where I can load a photograph taken into Lightroom and need to make minimal change to the colours. Sure there's some colour cast that needs correcting but it's nothing compared to the green colour cast of welding glass. But when you're only paying $5 for a piece of glass as opposed to $100 I'm sure it's something you can deal with
That pretty much sums up my experience in using welding glass as a neutral density filter substitute. I'd happily recommend this method to anyone looking to get into long exposure photography but aren't quite sure whether it's for them or not. Don't be put off by the colour cast created by the glass as it's easily corrected in camera and post processing especially if you drop a black and white layer over the top.
If you're reading this post and about to go out and buy your own glass don't forget to have a read over my long exposure photography ideas post or even have a look over some long exposure photographs I've taken in the past.
Feel free to comment and add anything I might have missed.
Thanks for reading,

Very interesting read. Your long exposure shots are stunning! I've got a lot to learn and a lot to try-out. I use a Fuji x-100. It has a build-in ND filter, but no way to control it, adjust it. I've used it a few times but not for shots like yours! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for stopping by Eric! I actually own the X100 too. You may be interested in my gallery of photos from it.

I just got this glass http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00166ILA8/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 in the mail today and tried it right away. There's a haze over the photo that makes it hard to work with. Any suggestions? I'm guessing it was too bright out and the light reflecting on the glass did this.
By Alex Wise on October 10, 2013 @ 7:52 pmPermalink
Hey Wes, nice to hear you picked up a piece of glass. You're right it would have been the reflection of the sun causing the flare up unfortunately. I find the welding glass especially prone to flare but you can minimise this by ensuring that the glass is kept as close to the lens element as possible. The larger the gap the more likely you will introduce glare.
Good luck with it and would love to see your results when you get out with it.

While the car was up on the jacks we also installed brake pads and included in the 8 hours is eating as well. The install went well with little to no problems at all besides the fact that the oem camber arm bolts need the exhaust to be dropped in order to be removed and reinstalled with the new ones. Initial impressions: As soon as i got in the car i noticed the car is a good amount firmer. The car, however, isnt harsh. It hits a bump and the tire feels really willing to get out of the way and then it reacts quickly to get back to the ground to regain full traction. I got the car aligned and then i had the car corner balanced and then realigned. The alignment specs are thanks to some awesome guys over on the m3 forum. Camber is -2.5 front -2 rear. Toe is 0 front -1/16 rear. Caster is 7.6. Car was corner balanced and weighs 3400 without me in it. Driving easy: While cruising around town the car feels very good. Like i said it is firmer but the car doesnt break your back. The car lets you know there are bumps there but by no means is it uncomfortable. Basically it still passes the girlfriend test lol. Driving around it feels like the car just wants to be thrown around a turn. There are those moments you hit an on ramp or are on a nice curvy road that you just resist going a bit faster than usual. Hard driving: The car with this setup listed above has very little body roll. The car is incredibly neutral. When you go past the limit it is still controllable. With the Wavetrac in its a totally different than i was used to. I can actually power out of a corner now! Between the LSD and suspension the car just wants to go around a corner. It is very eager to turn in and the car just grips and goes. Honestly from how it drives daily i wouldnt expect this level of performance in hard driving. Wavetrac: I had the diff put in and right away went out to do some launches and hard corners. Its truly amazing how much grip this car has now. But i guess that is what happens with the tires and a good setup other wise. I can floor it in 1st and nothing really dramatic happens it will spin a little bit and then jsut hook up and go and when it hooks up in 1st oh man does it sit you back in your seat. Around a corner like i mentioned above i can actually power out of a turn as well as get it a bit slideways. To anyone at any power level i highly suggest you get a diff. It just makes driving that much more enjoyable. Red stuff: These pads are pretty great. They are not too good when wet or when really cold but other than that they are a great pad with good bite for the street and some spirited driving. However i could see them easily getting faded out on the track. Overall: Overall with this setup i am extremely happy and really have no complaints what so ever. The car truly feels like a completely new car and is just so much more fun to drive. As well as being fun the car is 1000x more capable. I am extremely happy with my purchases. Jay @ ground control and Harold @ HP auto were both extremely helpful and guided me through every step of the way with my purchases for my needs. Oil & plugs: Id like to make a real quick point about oil and plugs. I did some research into some different high line oils and decided to run redline 5w-40 due to it actually having a higher viscosity than the 10w-40 so far car runs very smooth and minimal noise from the engine. As far as plugs i went with the NGK 5992's and the car runs much better/ smoother and even idles better. Future mods: I think the next thing i am going to do is go with the turner solid diff and subframe mounts. Why solid you ask? Because i recently rode in a solid mount car and the performance and feel way out weighed the very slight increase in nvh. Besides that its upgraded turbos and thats it. let me know if there are any further questions! |
I love my gc setup also no tractions issues what so ever with the m3 sways

Would appreciate any thoughts on these, of where they could have come from or who wore them.

They are not military issue, for what it's worth.
I found the glasses among a huge lot of NASA stuff closely associated with a certain shuttle pilot that I cannot name for his privacy. Unfortunately I am unable to contact him and get the easy answers.
Also considering selling these at one point and was wondering if there would be any kind of market value? Thanks for your time.

"Pilot" is a style of frames; "Apollo Pilot" may be a Luxottica style of a pilot frame.
Any connection to an astronaut is likely coincidental.
But you might bring the frames with you on your next visit to your optometrist, as s/he could contact Luxottica/Avant Garde and inquire. Or you could reach out Luxottica directly.

One heck of a coincidence to find these among a heap of NASA material connected to a shuttle pilot, but I accept that might be the case.
One thing I know for sure is that "Apollo Pilot" Glasses from Luxottica were never production.
Thanks again, you guys rock

I altered this recipe from the Greek restaurant that I work at and out of the many variations of spanakopita I've tried, fresh, authentic or frozen, this is easily the best. My dad dislikes spinach and he thinks this is just wonderful. Also, you'll want to rinse the spinach after you take it out of the bag because it sometimes has sand in it.

"The film gave Bollywood its angry young man, and the idea of re-creating the film sounded bizarre at first. When the role was offered to me, I was confused. We all know that one can never recreate the magic of an original film.
Our film has not tampered with the original; rather, it is a re-imagined narration for the new generation," said Ram in an interview with Mail Today.

Look through the reports and see what happened in your neighborhood
I wouldn't pick up anyone smelling of gasoline walking around with it in containers because I wouldn't know where that gas came from and what it was mixed with.I've given people rides before from the liquor store when I was bored and had like 2 other people in the car with me.
This is stupid. Oh well no law against me staring while they are doing it which is what I'll continue to do.
I am so glad she did not get a tv deal. If anyone did then I'd refuse to watch the whole channel.I'm frankly sick of hearing about her and her family and can't wait until the story goes around and she goes away.
Yeah unless the alarm is mine then I just find most a nuisance because most of them go off for stupid reasons.
I kept getting calls for some girl named Angela and this guy talking about all these things he was going to do if he could find me. I had just got a new number so it was whoever had it last time and the I guess the guy thought I was her new man or something. I contacted the police about it after like a month of it. Then like 3 weeks after Angela called me and thanked me for reporting him because she had a restraining order on him and he just got out of prison. She apologized which it wasn't her fault and told me he's back in prison now and thanked me for reporting it.
It was weird.
Beat they were also sneaking around those business that got broken into. Probably a good chance if they catch them then they'll find out they have been breaking into cars also.
Probably the same idiots who are breaking into cars seen another easy way to get free stuff.
That who gets there car broke in the most is people who don't lock it. Most criminal aren't going to actually break into a car unless they know or can see something of value in/with it. A friend of mine did security at UE. He said 1 out of every 20 or so cars had there door unlocked. He also thought many of those 1 out of 20s were lieing and saying that theres were locked because they didn't want to seem stupid for not locking it.
I talked to my neighbors of 2 years for the first time during the last storm. I had a feeling when it started and had plugged in every electronic device that ran on batteries as I could. I have 4 laptops because I don't get rid of my old oneswhen I get a new one and they just go in the closet. I charged a psp, 2 gameboy advances, and a DS. On top of that I had 2 portable dvd players and tons of board games. Two days after it happened we decided if power didn't come back on then my friend in a truck was coming to get us becuase he had power. I went outside to smoke and my neighbor was outside and just came up to me and told me how her kids were driving her nuts. I thought what the heck since I am leaving tonight if it doesn't come on anyways then I'll just let her kids have some fun. My cell even had tethering so they could surf the net.So now we get along pretty well and even have a game night where she brings her 3 kids over and my girlfriend and I play games with them and watch movies. Plus she brings me food and I like food and I'm too lazy to make it myself.
Good friendship out of a bad situation.
I went the route to do my core classes at Ivy Tech but they need to screen or handle their teachers better. I took an online class that was only available my semester over the internet from Gary IN. About three weeks into the class the teacher wanted us to go into groups of three to do projects. So i got stuck in a group with two others and contacted them through email and they wanted to meet up and do it. I responded I couldn't and could do it over chat or phone. They never got back to me after that. I even emailed the teacher twice telling that I couldn't get ahold of them and asked if I could do it myself and never got a response. Ended up failing because I didn't do the assignment how she wanted. She told me that I could've made the time to meet them for the assignment. Umm aren't the online classes for convience, I shouldn't have to drive 6 hours to Gary IN 4 times a semester just to do a lab project. I even emailed her twice telling that I couldn't get ahold of them and asked if I could do it myself and never got a response. Contacted Ivy Tech about it and was told there was nothing they could do and couldn't get a refund. Ended up dropping the class so it wouldn't go against my gpa but still wasted money on it.
Ridiculous. Maybe allow them to do it over the phone at their convenience don't force some of these parents who might have problems getting off work or have other things to do than going to these meetings. Especially if you have multiple children in different schools.
So I googled myself and the number one is a blog about someone with my name kissing dudes in texas. Also I found out I am baseball player/chess champion in 1989 when I was 6 years old so thats pretty cool.
I never trust my maintence workers. 6 years ago when i lived at village green I caught a guy on my webcam going through my dvds and removing them and putting the case back. This was after I alerted the office several times that things were missing and to have them stop coming in while I'm not there. Still never got an apology from an office even after it happened and thankfully my lease was up 2 months later.
No one forces those people to work in the bar. They knew what they were getting into before they accepted the job.
I don't smoke and have friends who do. If you don't like the smoke in bars then just got drink elsewhere. You go to the bar by your choice if you think its too smokey just go elsewhere.
Yah, now I need a Ruby Tuesday and my wishlist for evansville will be filled. I like their salad bars.
I used to live around that area. There were constantly big dogs running around with no leash. I used have to sneak past one almsot every time I walked 3 blocks to variety village and back. Most of them were meanest Chows I ever seen. This one family had like 10 of them and they'd always get out.
Yup and taxis are way expensive to get home to newburgh. I took one from eastland mall TGIFridays after a friends birthday. 36 dollars to get from eastland mall to around sharon school. Price I pay for living in a place with no public transportation though. If I was in evansville I would've just stayed til I was sober enough to take the bus home.
Wish they had something like this for newburgh. I wanna go out drinking too but don't care to pay to get home.
I buy candy at dollar general. Cheap laffy taffy and airheads by themselves are hard to come by now.
Someone broke into my car once when I was in henderson visiting a friends. They popped and stole all my knobs for controlling the ac and heat and turned them all up. They also stole my lunch box and peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I think they thought my lunch box was a purse and after they broke my back window and got my food they got angry and tore up my car.
Sounds about right. My neighbor stole a car from USI and broke into a bunch of cars. He was in jail over night. Plead guilty and was put on like 2 years probation and had to pay 2000 dollars back. This was 4 years ago, he never paid a dime and never got a job like he was supposed to as part of his staying out of jail.
This sucks. I have a friend who just went to work there right before the bail out was talked about. I warned him not to, hate to say I told him so.... nevermind thats the best part of it.
WOW was so bad I considered going ota and just getting dsl. I called and escalations dropped me down to 80 bucks for a HD dvdr, showtime, and their fastest internet. Thing is the box is a POS and so is the channel selection, and their internet stops working every 48 hours. I have to do stuff with the modem they gave me in order to get it to work right. I'd leave them in a heartbeat and pay 60 more for better service.
Newburgh has the choice between Wow and Time Warner. I chose WOW the lesser of the two evils. I'm in an apartment so can't get direct TV.
I wish they'd come to newburgh.
Maybe people shouldn't wait until the last minute to do something.
I'm glad there was early voting. I went to the newburgh central library to pick up a book and was like sweet. Saved me standing in line on tuesday. Also my friend was with me and voted also and wasn't even going to.
Sears is over priced and needs to get with the times. The only people I know who shop there are 35+ unless they go there for hardware.
(This comment was removed by the site staff.)
Sounds gun related!
I live in newburgh, the ladies at the newburgh Donut Bank are rude. I still grab donut bank in evansville when I'm around but stopped going to the newburgh one because I'd always leave angry because of the service I got.
I hope newburgh gets a dunkin donuts. I've been eating the nasty ones at Schnucks for my fix.

For those of us who love to watch the pigskin fly on Sundays, this off-season's NFL labor dispute was frustrating. The endless back and forth between the players and owners, the threat of the season being postponed, or worse, canceled entirely—it was enough to drive a sensible man crazy.
So, to help get you in the proper frame of mind before tonight's season opener between the Saints and Packers at Lambeau Field, we offer an excerpt from our profile on New York Giants defensive end, and fellow cigar lover, Justin Tuck. For the full story, pick up the issue, available on newsstands everywhere. Hopefully, you can now focus on the important things, like whether or not you should go with a Churchill or a Double Corona...
QB Killer
By Michael P. Geffner
Justin Tuck has pulled off a minor miracle: Out of his maddening, big-city sports existence, he has still managed to replicate the remote, tiny-town vibe of his youth, living down a quiet side street of a quiet side street before the road abruptly hits a dead end in Fort Lee, New Jersey. "People don't even know anything is here," Tuck says. It's his pocket of serenity, of much- sought-after normalcy, overlooking the Hudson River, where on a clear day from his backyard, with the leaves off the trees, he has a simply gorgeous view of the George Washington Bridge and Manhattan's Upper West Side.
It's a Saturday afternoon in mid March. Tuck, 28, the New York Giants' Pro Bowl defensive end and one of the National Football League's most dangerous pass rushers—whose takedown of pretty boy Tom Brady helped produce one of the greatest upsets in Super Bowl history—is nestled into his comfort zone, a decidedly ordinary moment. Dressed in jeans and a mango-colored designer T, he's sitting at the kitchen table chomping on some Papa John's pizza, first a slice slathered with extra mozzarella cheese, then one topped with endless slices of pepperoni. He washes it all down with a plastic bottle of purple vitamin water...
... Tuck's friend Carl Banks, a legendary Giants linebacker who has two Super Bowl rings of his own, has a unique perspective on Tuck: "Justin is one of the most genuine, unassuming guys you'll ever meet. For a guy of his stature to be so unaffected is rare. He's, as my mom would say, someone who knows his manners." Banks, who terrorized quarterbacks in the 1980s and early 1990s, is also responsible for introducing Tuck to the singular bliss of pairing a fine cigar with a good Scotch some five years ago. ...
Justin Tuck isn't the only gridiron great who loves to kick back with a cigar. Check out these other footballer profiles that have graced the pages of Cigar Aficionado:

The term Nintendocore was coined, as a joke, by Nathan Winneke, lead singer of HORSE the band . The genre is a derivative form of metalcore that fuses typical metalcore elements with chiptunes and 8-bit music. Nintendocore frequently features the use of electric guitars, drum kits, and other typical metalcore instrumentation along side electronic beats or video game music. Use of auto-tuned or synthesized vocals is present, but often limited, while screamed vocals are used heavily.

Pacira Pharmaceuticals Inc Announces New Data Supporting Use Of Exparel Via Infiltration Into Transversus Abdominis Plane
Pacira Pharmaceuticals Inc announced the first data presentation supporting the use of EXPAREL (bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension) infiltrated into the transversus abdominis plane (TAP) for postsurgical pain management. TAP infiltration is being increasingly utilized for postsurgical analgesia in abdominal procedures as clinicians aim to maintain pain control while reducing reliance on opioid analgesics. Andrew Sternlicht, M.D., Assistant Clinical Professor of Anesthesiology at the Tufts University School of Medicine, is lead author on a poster presentation of the data, which will be presented at the 11th Annual American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine (ASRA) Meeting, taking place November 15-18, 2012 in Miami. Findings indicate that inadequately controlled postsurgical pain is ubiquitous: More than 85% of the patients surveyed reported experiencing postsurgical pain; 75% of patients reporting pain characterized it as moderate, severe or extreme; 79% of patients reported experiencing side effects from pain medications, with the majority of those side effects appearing to be opioid-related. Overall, the researchers found that postsurgical pain remains undermanaged; greater clinical adoption of multimodal therapy and novel non-opioid analgesics could potentially minimize opioid-related side effects and improve postsurgical pain management. Both studies were supported by Pacira Pharmaceuticals.

Fragrance sampling, to have and to hold
Author of 'Advertising and the Production of Commodity-signs', R.Goldman, says the fragrance industry manufactures and markets "hopes and dreams". I think the theoretics of this is pretty accurate.
Perfume ads stereotypically rely on slender women, beautiful clothing and dreamlike backdrops or steamy scenes to advertise their products, so what can they do to stand apart? How do you use an image to convey a scent?
There are various methods brands use to get round this. Some brands have taken to putting a sample with their advert either in the form of a sticky flap or mini piece of material soaked in the perfume. Avon even uses a 'rub and release' method which is clever, but like the others doesn't even come close to recreating the methodology of selecting a fragrance.
Buying perfume is a whole experience in itself. First you admire appearance of the bottle and how it feels to hold. Then you lift it to your nose before spraying it on your wrist. Finally after a couple of hours you will have a sniff to see how the perfume has blended with your own scent and if it has worn off or not.
Flicking through ELLE magazine the other day I had got about 50 pages in and had already seen about 12 perfume ads, when one caught my eye. There was a distinctive absence of a beautiful woman, instead just the image of the perfume bottle, layered around seven times. Homing in to the middle of the page, I saw what appeared to be a 3D cardboard perfume bottle.
Peeling the little cardboard envelope from the page I wondered how it worked. Following the instructions, I pulled the tab at the top which revealed the spray nozzle. It also transformed the flat pack to a prism – effectively a mini bottle of perfume. From here you simply press on the face of the image to release the spray. To close, push the tab at the top back down which re-hides the nozzle, preserving the rest of the perfume.
The fragrance was Womanity by Thierry Mugler. Mugler's perfumes are always very distinctive and here so too was the advertising.
Showing the sample to the girls in the office, they all quickly interacted with the product and there was spray enough for each. Having not seen anything like this before I was intrigued and impressed so decided to do a little research. One sample is said to provide "six test sprays". This is incredibly clever as the brand could effectively penetrate their target audience six times with only one sample; maximizing cost-effectiveness.
Known as the "Flat Spray", the new perfume sampling technology was first featured in the glossy pages of Canadian Fashion magazine in October 2010.
I really interacted with this execution and believe this method represents the next step in sample advertising. It is reusable, portable and a highly effective method of getting your target audience to engage with your product. Would I buy this perfume? Maybe. Would I go to the shop and try it there because of the sample? Yes.

The art of connecting
Can you remember the last time you left your mobile phone at home? You might have said it was a relief not feeling you were a slave to it for a day. You may have thought how nice it was not to be bothered all the time. But I bet you made a beeline for the dinky device as soon as you got back – to check your texts, missed calls and who had poked you on Facebook.
Mobiles have become like an extra limb. They're portable powerhouses that deliver more and more with each upgrade you receive. It's not so much about talking, but it is about communicating – through texts, messenger, social media. You name it, they facilitate it. They're now an essential rather than an accessory, and I for one wouldn't be without one.
Why, then, do I struggle to find a single mobile operator whose brand really resonates with me?
It's difficult to find one which feels relevant and charming; more often they seem faceless and sometimes even smug. I know I'm just one small part of an incredibly wide and diverse target audience, but surely the same would be true for superbrands like Apple: yet such brands consistently appeal and are championed by consumers worldwide.
I wouldn't include everything the brands do here – for example I like the clever O2 music partnerships and sponsorships, and admire the Orange film tie-ups. I've also seen some good charity initiatives. It's more the way they come across as entities. I'd find it almost impossible to characterise each of the main companies and their differences in a couple of lines.
The reputation of mobile phone companies in general isn't great – they've all been tarred with the same 'poor customer service' brush. I understand that competiveness on price remains the all-important factor. But the same must be true of the fickle world of supermarkets, and all of the big names in that sector deliver good, clear messaging.
Maybe the level of communication phone companies need to deliver and the speed at which they need to deliver means it's difficult to keep the brand consistent. Or possibly they rely on international campaigns that lose some of their impact with a UK audience. But with flimsy slogans such as 'life's for sharing' or 'make the most of now' at the heart of the brands, I feel that they're trying to be all things to all people. And in doing that, they actually fail to do the one thing a phone brand, above all, should do: connect.

In the wake of Abraham Lincoln's assassination, seven men and one woman are arrested and charged with conspiring to kill the President, the Vice-President, and the Secretary of State. The lone woman charged, Mary Surratt, a devout Catholic, owns a boarding house where John Wilkes Booth and others met and planned the simultaneous attacks. Her deep faith is a recurring motif, from the rosary beads she clutches to the priest who visits her. Against the ominous back-drop of post-Civil War Washington, newly-minted lawyer, Frederick Aiken, a 28-year-old Union war-hero, reluctantly agrees to defend Surratt before a military tribunal. As the trial unfolds, Aiken realizes his client may be innocent and that she is being used as bait and hostage in order to capture the only conspirator to have escaped a massive manhunt, her own son. The Conspirator is a riveting thriller that tells a powerful story about America then and now. Stars James McAvoy, Robin Wright, Kevin Kline, Evan Rachel Wood.

Comerica Park, Detroit, Michigan
DETROIT -- At times, Andrew McCutchen looks like the only threatening hitter in the entire Pittsburgh lineup.
And on some days, his power alone is enough to give the Pirates a win.McCutchen hit a pair of two-run homers and A.J. Burnett pitched six solid innings to lead Pittsburgh to a 4-3 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Saturday.A day after Detroit's Justin Verlander took a no-hitter into the ninth while shutting out the Pirates, McCutchen struck back with his second multihomer game in three days."I really wouldn't say I had real tough at-bats against Verlander. I had some decent at-bats, but he just got the best of me," McCutchen said. "You just show up tomorrow and get 'em the next day."McCutchen certainly did that against Tigers rookie Drew Smyly (1-1). It was the sixth career multihomer game for McCutchen, who has seven home runs on the season.Pittsburgh is hitting .218 as a team, but McCutchen is at a lofty .346 and establishing himself as one of the game's best outfielders.On Thursday night, he homered twice in a win at Washington."We joke in the dugout, 'Why do you throw this guy a strike?'" Burnett said. "But some pitches he's hitting are good pitches too, so it just shows you what kind of player Cutch is."Prince Fielder hit a two-run homer for the Tigers, who stranded 10 runners, but struck out swinging with a man on first to end it.Burnett (2-2) allowed two runs and seven hits before three relievers finished it off, with Joel Hanrahan pitching a hitless ninth inning for his ninth save.Josh Harrison, who broke up Verlander's no-hit bid Friday night, also had Pittsburgh's first hit off Smyly on a bunt single in the first. McCutchen followed with a long homer to left-center.After Fielder tied it in the third with his seventh homer, McCutchen connected again in the fifth, hitting an opposite-field shot to right after Harrison had been hit by a pitch.Burnett, meanwhile, outdueled Smyly in a matchup of Arkansans on the mound. Both are from the Little Rock area.Burnett was traded to the Pirates at the start of spring training and hurt himself almost immediately when he fouled a ball off his right eye during a bunting drill. Now healthy, he's given his new team some quality performances.Against St. Louis on May 2, he allowed 12 runs in 2 2/3 innings, but in his other five starts, he's gone 2-1 with a 2.06 ERA. It's an encouraging trend for Burnett after three erratic years with the New York Yankees."I feel comfortable being a Pittsburgh Pirate," Burnett said. "I just feel like I can be more myself, and do more of the things I want to do on the mound, and have fun."Smyly allowed four runs and seven hits in 4 2/3 innings. It was the shortest start for the left-hander since he went four-plus innings in his big league debut April 12.The Tigers have not won back-to-back games since their 9-3 start, and they failed to build on Verlander's gem. After falling behind on McCutchen's second homer, Detroit got a run back in the seventh on a passed ball by Pittsburgh catcher Rod Barajas, but Alex Avila struck out with the tying run on second to end that inning.Brennan Boesch hit a leadoff single in the bottom of the eighth, but Jhonny Peralta struck out and Ramon Santiago lined into a double play."It looks like some of the guys are beginning to swing better," Detroit manager Jim Leyland said. "We've got to have some timely two-out hits."Game notes
Leyland was still gushing Saturday after Verlander's one-hitter the previous night. "I've never seen a better-pitched game than that one last night -- never," Leyland said. ... Pittsburgh RHP Jeff Karstens (right shoulder inflammation) is scheduled to pitch Monday for Double-A Altoona as part of a rehab assignment. ... Boesch extended his hitting streak to 12 games. ... The teams honored the Negro Leagues by wearing the uniforms of the Detroit Stars and Pittsburgh Crawfords. ... The Pirates are 19-8 when scoring two or more runs. ... McCutchen is 10 for his last 15 against left-handers and is 18 for 40 against them on the season. ... Detroit's Max Scherzer (2-3) takes the mound against Pittsburgh's Kevin Correia (1-4) in the series finale Sunday.Copyright by STATS LLC and The Associated Press
