Monarch firefighters can wear pink
Monarch firefighters are back in the pink after a compromise was reached over fundraiser tee shirts.
The district board had banned the Breast Cancer Awareness shirts over concerns that they didn't properly identify the firefighters as Monarch employees and objections to the union logo.
The board decided Tuesday that pink shirts would be okay, if they were redesigned.
That didn't happen. But the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that on Wednesday, Fire Chief Tom Vineyard and board president Robin Harris worked out a deal. The firefighters can wear the tee shirts with the union logo, but they must also wear an ID badge.
Monarch board rescinds pink tee shirt ban
Firefighters in the Monarch Fire Protection District can wear their "Pink Heals" tee shirts during Breast Cancer Awareness Month after all.
After hearing from an angry crowd at Tuesday night's board meeting, the district board rescinded their earlier ban, but with conditions. The shirts must be redesigned without a union logo and must clearly identify firefighters as Monarch employees.
One of the board members who had banned the shirts, Robin Harris, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that the fire chief has been directed to submit design changes by Wednesday.
Monarch bans firefighters pink "breast cancer" tees
The firefighters in the Monarch Fire Protection District won't be pretty in pink for this year's breast cancer fundraiser.
The bright pink tee-shirts they've worn during Breast Cancer Awareness Month for the last four years have been banned this year by the district board.
Two of the district's three board members told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that the shirts aren't professional and could lead to confusion among the public, since firefighters sell the tees to raise funds.
Firefighters say the move is political, since the shirts bear the firefighter's union logo.
Relations between the board and the International Association of Firefighters has been tense since the April board election.

Less than any of the chain hotels (with included evening wine & cheese and morning breakfast with hot items.) Attentive service, parking extra. Would definitely recommend to friends.

And now, something completely different: Curse episodes the indie Game! There will be a proper announcement of this (with new media etc...) but that will be later. Till that here's what will be different in the indie game compared to the mod:
- The first episode will be longer
- There will be a (properly implemented) melee combat system (this is alone will make it a completely different experience)
- New monsters... except the wormdemon
No more updates here (unless Valve releases the OS X modding tools for Half-Life 2, so I can make the Curse mod Mac compatible). Expect a new Curse episodes IndieDB profile soon...

THIS REALY SUCKS what were the **** am i in the game who am i and NO story badbye
what is this it sucks
The intro looked sort of like an old movie! Im getting it now! :D
Ok how much is this gonna cost ?
It's free!
And he can't make an Indie game because he didn't made Source Engine! It will be illegal.
we're not going to use the source engine...
'cept he's able to get a license to use the source engine commercially.
I totaly changed my mind after playing! So perfect and it's REALLY a total conversion of HL2... but you should change menus too.
Forget what I said and my final argument is... If you can get a license to make a indie game, go ahead! Your game is really nice! Mapping, modeling, animations... And if it doesn't cost too much you can be sure I will buy it.
Bye and I really loved your job... sorry about what I said before playing it.
*sigh* Another mod going indie like Dear Esther...
The conclusion about all of this is, IMHO : you should have put a donation system for both of these mod's... with exclusive content, before the release, for the donators.
However, do as you wish, I'll never be a fan of these turns of events, and I hope your mod (which is good) will have success.

UK licensing changes - six months on
By: Olly Wehring - 23 May 2006 16:38
Today, we celebrate the six-month anniversary of changes in the licensing laws in England and Wales. The changes were trumpeted with prophets of doom and gloom in this country's press, who had a field day warning of blood in the streets. So, after half a year, what colour are our roads?
Well, you'll be delighted to here that there is certainly no more ruby red in the roads than there was before and, although it is nigh on impossible to answer definitively whether the changes have increased or decreased our drinking problems, things seem pretty much the same round here.
According to Neil Williams from the British Beer and Pub Association: "There has been limited change in city centres. The new system is allowing people to stay in their favourite local pub longer on certain nights rather than traipse into town to go to a bar."
I can concur with this. On nights out in (London) town, I've found it quite hard to find a pub around Leicester Square open past 11pm for a quiet drink (although the 'super pubs' are open, I tend to give them a wide berth). My local pub, however, is regularly open until around midnight most nights.
The real test, however, is still ahead of us. With the World Cup just over a fortnight away, and (hopefully) some long, hot summer nights ahead, we could be in for a boisterous few months over here.

"Lafayette is like that awesome aunt you have"
The best way to describe Lafayette: that awesome aunt that lives out in the country. She serves the best home style meals (you're always welcome at the table). She throws a great party (you don't need an invite, just come on in). If you know her, you know everyone (there's no strangers in Lafayette, only friends you haven't met). They host over 20 festivals a year that run the gamut on culture, cuisine and communities. Make sure to take a class on Cajun dancing, most restaurants have a night dedicated to Zydeco music, also. Driving around isn't easy, but there's no rush anyway. Courtesy and manners aren't an act, these people have genuine manners. Come home to Lafayette, and experience her hospitality. |

Apple has cemented its position as the world's most valuable brand, while the recently floated Facebook is one of the fastest growing. According to the latest edition of Millward Brown's annual BrandZ report, Apple has effortlessly took the top spot overtaking giants such as Google (last year's leader), IBM, McDonald's and Microsoft.
The study reveals that Apple is number one global brand with value growth of 19 per cent and is now worth $182.9bn. Its brand value is now the equivalent of Peru's GDP. As the Brandz report says – "When a single brand creates as much value as the entire economy of a fast-growing Latin American country, it's time to stand and take notice." Powered by an immensely successful new product, the iPad, as well as new versions of existing products such as the iPhone, Apple's brand value grew by a stupendous 84 per cent over the past 12 months.
Facebook, with a market value of $82 billion after its initial public offering last week, was the fastest climber in the top 100, seeing its brand value rise by 74 percent to $33.2 billion to put it in 19th place.
A three percent drop in brand value caused Google to slip from last year's second-place showing to third-place in 2012. McDonald's placed fourth while Microsoft came in fifth with a brand value of $76.65 billion, down two percent from last year. Coca Cola and Marlboro placed sixth and seventh, respectively.
2011 proved to be a difficult year for brand growth, according to the survey. The aggregate value of the top 100 brands grew just 0.4 percent, compared to 17 percent growth last year. Eileen Campbell, Global CEO of Millward Brown, said, "Brands are an insurance policy for businesses. Despite a prolonged period of economic stress, political uncertainty and natural disasters that buffeted brands across many categories, the value of the world's leading brands keeps rising across many categories, sustaining and nurturing businesses."

I ordered two guitar straps from Toneworld. They quickly confirmed my order and reduced the shipment costs doing only one parcel.
As one of the straps was damaged, they sent an email stating there was some delay to get a new one in stock. This was done in two days and the straps were quickly shipped to France where I live.
Great customer care, great communication and lightning-fast shipment. I will shop again at Toneworld.

No you can tweet it also.
But seriously though, it does seem to be such a recurring issue these days, I now even have buyers who email me asking what to do to get support responses – Envato your house needs some staff.
I'm used to waiting an average of seven days to get a reply without getting too nervous. It's like you order something, forget about it because it took so long and then be happily surprised as the package arrives
Well, they have my application on their desks
They just hired two afaik.

Virgin Solo Hang
After having spent many months (like 72 months altogether and the last six more intensely) to finish my doctoral thesis, I finally had the chance to finish making some gear (diy hammock, bug net, bishop bag, tarp lines, etc) and was eager to do more than try it out in the backyard. I had originally thought about heading to the Smokies, but the forecast was for heavy rain and the trip I had planned had some serious stream crossings. So with the skies clearing back to the west, I decided that an overnight to Virgin Falls State Natural Area would be a good trip. I had learned of Virgin Falls from FlightChick here on HF. It's only about an hour and a half from the house. It's about eight to nine miles around the loop.
I met a couple of guys at the trailhead and a group of two women and one guy down the trail; they said that they usually hike in the Smokies as well, but the forecast had suggested something further afield. Once I had passed paths with them, I knew that I had the whole area to myself. Virgin Falls SNA is a spectacular spot. The stream appears from under the rocks and within about fifty feet falls over the ledge 110' feet into a huge sink where the water immediately disappears. There was a nice campsite right beside the falls. The sound of the falls is wonderful. The Cherokees have a saying, "go to the water" which is a call to find a spot with flowing water to restore the soul. Sound wisdom there! I pitched the hammock and tarp. I decided on using one small tree so that I had something of a front porch facing the falls. Here I need to give a shout out to some folks on HF: Fronkey, the skins arrived and here is the promised trip report as well as some pics (thanks, too, to lymphocytosis at NK Outdoors); Scott over at DIYgearsupply, I used the double layer hammock plans and also the bugnet plans as well as the materials; Bloomgorge, I've got the tarp setup with a tarp cross on one end and a tarp key on the other; Paul at AHE, the Flamethrower UQ that I won is wonderful and warm; and to the others who have helped me learn and get all of this together, thanks also. It was a restful and enjoyable night there with the falls. I slept much better than I usually do camping and I woke with no back pain; after having a couple of knee surgeries and a back surgery, I am well-pleased with the comfort of hanging. This was a good shake-down cruise for some new gear that hadn't been more than twenty yards from the house. Everything performed up to expectations. I love going solo and often do since my calling requires that I work most weekends. Great to have such great spots preserved by the State of Tennessee. Great to have such great folks as those here on HF. Great to have the chance to get away from it all even if for a little bit. A word about the pics. The first couple are of Big Laurel Falls which falls 40' back into a sizeable rock room before disappearing into the ground. The second shot is from inside that rock room looking out. The pic of Virgin Falls simply does not do it justice. The last pic shows my hiking poles and GVP4 pack that I made--always get a picture that shows my poles. |

Guru Purnima
Guru Poornima, a festival dedicated to all the gurus, is a nice way of valuing the importance of a guru or teacher. The festival of guru purnima is also celebrated by the people who follow Buddhism along with Hindus. The great festival of guru purnima is also known as the Vyasa Poornima in Hinduism. Guru Veda Vyasa is known to be one of the most enlightened gurus of Indian history. The celebrations of the Guru Purnima are devoted to memorize and respect guru Veda Vyasa. Commemorating Veda Vyasa and his efforts on Guru Poornima is the purpose of Hindus, whereas the Buddhists believe that the first sermon was delivered by Lord Buddha on this very day. Guru Purnima, the birth anniversary of Veda Vyasa is celebrated once in a year. It is the day that is awaited by many gurus, disciples and the followers of righteousness. The value and importance of a guru is known to all and that is why people deliberately get involved in the celebrations of Guru Poornima. The method of paying tribute to the Guru Veda Vyasa and Lord Buddha are different as per the religion but the motive is all same and that is to honor the person who dedicated all their life for the betterment of people.
Guru Purnima
The people in Hinduism are quite enthusiastic in their celebrations and they organize different events but the Buddhists are the ones who spend most of their time in meditating during guru purnima. It doesn't matter what road a person choose as long as his only aim is to show his respect toward their Guru or lord. In many parts of the country students are offered food and charanamrit as prasad after worshipping the Guru Vyasa. Students usually show their gratitude in the form of various gifts and wishes. In today's time the culture of wishing through SMS and greeting is very common. Some students who are highly dedicated to their teacher prepare the gift all by themselves to please their teacher. A teacher or guru in the culture like Hindu and Buddhism is given high importance. It is considered that a guru has a major role in developing a child's personality and he can impart his wisdom for better use. Therefore the festival of Guru Purnima holds great significance.
Veda Vyasa and Lord Buddha were those enlightened people who didn't keep the wisdom intact to themselves. But, they chose to pass on their wisdom and knowledge to the people so that a better society could be developed. It is not an easy task to go through the Vedas and Puranas for an ordinary man. Hence, Veda Vyasa made it easier by subdividing the Vedas into four parts. Not only this, but Veda Vyasa is also the writer of great epic 'Mahabharata'. Veda Vyasa and Lord Buddha didn't cease at any step and kept on moving on in the direction of making human life worth living. Veda Vyasa imparted his knowledge and principles to some of his disciples and enlightened Lord Buddha did the same too. In the form of other enlightened people, their legacy was being carried forward successfully. Even today many people are firm followers of the morals of Veda Vyasa and they believe in walking through the path shown by him. That is why the glory of the festival of guru purnima still shines and will shine till eternity.

Hey Warrior,

Between us we've been full time internet marketers for nearly 14 years…

A few months ago I woke up one morning with a bee in my bonnet…
I wanted to take my niche marketing business to the next level.
I wanted to dominate niches with Facebook without building massive fan pages.
Now, don't get me wrong…there is nothing wrong with fan pages. They are still a huge part of my core marketing strategy…and I make very good money from them every day.
But my new mission was simple…
I wanted to build a set and forget lead generation machine right off of Facebook's newsfeed.
Weird how that happens, right?
I thought I "had it" but I found: I knew a lot of people were making a lot of money with newsfeed ads… I was determined. It took me thru to a very convincing fake blog trying to sell me some miracle CPA product. I remember thinking – "there's no way this works". This system works…and it works fast! High Conversions Right Off Of People's Newsfeed… Introducing: Newsfeed Ads Maestro We're going to take you by the hand and show you everything you need to do to run successful newsfeed ad campaigns.

I wasn't going to give up.
The Weird "Men's Health" Ad That Showed Me The Light
"You wanna get ripped, bro?" the six pack in my newsfeed asked me.
I clicked on the link.
The next day, Mr. Six Pack was back in my newsfeed.
And the next day…and the next.
It suddenly dawned on me – this guy must be cleaning up!
I mean, he's not just wasting his money making me feel fat…
This offer must be converting like crazy for him.
So I thought – let's start at the top…and I closely analysed his ad.
There were three weird things that he was doing that were completely different to anything I'd seen on ads in my newsfeed.
How the heck was he doing that?
So my mission began.
After Spending $100's of Dollars On Ads I Created A Bullet Proof System…
I spent hours and hours and hundreds of dollars tirelessly testing and tweaking my ads…
Slowly but surely I started to get results…
One day it all "clicked" and I was in business.
The results actually shocked me.

It works
Hello, Will this help me get targeted traffic to my golf school website? My main traffic target is the state my school is in.
Yes of course.. it will be perfect for that
Can you please clarify the following?
1. The sales page says "Know how to setup a fan page? Great!". I am not sure what this means. Does it mean that we have to know how to create fan pages OR are you going to show us how to create a good fan page?
2. Do we have to have an autoresponder in place for this to work? Do all the sales you made were as a result of squeeze page/follow up emails? (i.e., were there any direct sales also?)
Hi Shawn, a fan page is only a very minor part of this system but you do need to create one pete does show you but we don't spend much time on it. As for an autoresponder , you could do direct sales BUT you are wasting a lot of money so i wouldn't recommend it
Is this good for newbies. Do I need a website? Can it be done for local business
If you have no Idea about facebook then you should probably start with our reverse blogging product http://reverseblogging.com as that goes into the basics of facebook. For this you it would be better for you to know a little about how FB works
Could I ask what the upsell is if there is one?
we are doing a 2 live case studies
Saw this question but didn't see the answer. Does this work to help local businesses (offline marketing)?
Yes it does, wherever you can target an audience it works
What if FB takes forever to approve your ad in the Power Editor? Any way to expedite the approval process?
We find out ads take about 5-10 minutes most of the time… the more you do the quicker it gets.. waited up to 2 days at the start.
When you said you can target specific people/groups is that like an extractor?
You can use that if you want or you can target interests and demographics.
Hi Guys,
Are you seeing any issues with getting "Custom Audiences" adverts approved. We are struggling with this as i have heard about changes with Power Editor.
Pete, you mention your $95 per day campiagn on the sales page. Is that CPA/Affiliate or a combination of both. How quickly could somebody achieve that and what kind of budget would be needed to get to that level.
I created a custom audience campaign yesterday approved in 5 minutes. There have been rumours about power editor but nothing has been said by FB so treat them with a pinch of salt until you hear something from FB.
Pete's offer was CPA he talked about in last night webinar that was after about 5 days if I remember correctly using a budget of $10 a day.. but obviously there was also income on the first few days as well
great info..
Awesome Info.Perfect!
this program help me get targeted traffic to my job.
it depends what your job is! But If you have a site then you can use it to drive traffic
Hi so are we using a scraper tool or something to scrape UIDs? in order to get super cheap clicks?
Hi No, this course is about creating a longterm income using newsfeed ads.
I tried to buy your package with a debit card and got hung up with a paypal screen and couldn't determine whether I have bought it or not until some pending charges come in to my bank account. Please advise if you have received the payment or not.
Many thanks
Bill Alder
Bill, I can't see a payment from you.. Mark

Customer Reviews
- Highly Recommend Review by TC
Quality I bought the 10mm and by the time I got it all the way in I was oozing pre-cum. Expert craftmanship, high quality. Functional expectations were exceeded. I hope to stretch enough to order the 11mm.
(Posted on 2/15/14)
- Nice Review by Frank
Quality I can leave it in for several days at a time. It goes in easily with no lube and stays put. I got the 10 m and this is not large enough to expand your opening. Good value and quick delivery.
(Posted on 2/4/14)
- Great but too small for me. Review by Bob McF
Quality It's just what I'd been looking for, it's well-made, and the screw-in design makes it easier to get a larger size inserted. But the largest size (11mm) is really too small for me. Unless I control my pee to a dribble, it wants to leak around the edges, and using it with a leash, etc., it pulls out too easily. A 13mm with a larger bore would be about perfect.
(Posted on 1/30/14)
- 11 mm plug. Wow Review by Dave
Quality I managed to get this into an opening the normally only accepts 10mm. It hurt like hell but was a real charge geting this in. The finish is perfect and made it easier to screw in. I'd suggest a petro based lubricant instead of KY jelly as it's a better lube and doesn't dry out.
(Posted on 7/6/13)
- Terrific product, great execution Review by A. Nonimous
Quality An amazing bit of craftsmanship! I wish you'd offer it in a couple of larger sizes with a larger hole through the device.
(Posted on 6/19/13)
- need a 13 mm size Review by James
Quality a little loose for those of use used to 1/2" plugs. A 13mm or 14 mm size would be a nice option.
(Posted on 6/11/13)
- A unique design Review by LP
Quality A very well made and unusual design.I like it ! The 10mm screws in and fits well without any pain,and stays put. My only complaint about this penis plug is that the thru hole is a little to small for this piece,it restricts urine flow. I guess I`ll have to try and drill the hole out a little bit larger.Other than that, this is a nice plug. Also shipping was fast. Thanks Again Chain Gang!
(Posted on 5/12/13)
- Fantastic Product Review by Zee33
Quality This is my second penis plug purchase do to size problem on my first order . The first one (Sleek & Hollow Penis Plug) was too small and kept falling out easily . This one Works perfectly . Add just a little lube to start it and away you go . It doesn't slip or fall out during regular wear . The only slippage I had was during urinating . Having to hold onto the ring . This will be solved when I control my stream better . Remember your going from a large tube into a small one .
I Highly recommend it .
note: Measurements listed when purchasing are outside measurements of the threads .(Posted on 5/1/13)
- Quality Review by Robert
Quality Excellent quality but, regrettably, I've outgrown it. Because it is so well made and eye catching I added it to my key ring.

- Good quality, but doesn't quite fit me Review by Jonny
Quality This was my first piece of jewelery. I was looking for something I could wear for extended periods, have sex, heighten stimulation, etc. The quality, delivery, etc were all top notch. Packaging was a little questionable - I also ordered the ribbed urethral sound and it had punched a hole through the envelope on arrival. Luckily nothing had slipped out, but it was a close call.
To give you some idea, while waiting for this to arrive, I played with a polished stainless rod and found i could take 10mm easily, 11mm was a tight fit that stretched, but still felt good. 12mm was the pain limit where I just worked very slowly.
As for this plug - my cock has a slight bend, I found it sat too deep when screwed all the way in and the sharp edge at the narrow end put painful pressure on my urethra. I did some grinding, sanding and re-polishing to make the inserted end more of a rounded bullet shape. Much more comfortable! Then I shortened the 'tube' end by about 1/2 and re drilled dimples for the ring, being careful not to penetrate the central opening. This centers the plug over my frenum and having the new holes as 'recesses' only means pee comes out much more normally and only straight ahead.
Ideally, I would like a larger central bore as pee comes out slowly and it feels like a lot of pressure builds up. I also loose the ability to shoot cum any distance, no more aim-n-shoot facials...it's more of a dribbling effect with this piece in place. Though that is a good excuse to just leave it inside for the cumshot!(Posted on 4/8/13)
- Cock Screw is Review by Newbee
Quality For the size (11mm) it works ok and stays in, but a 13 mm unit would be ideal. Also, the non-spiral shaft should be the same thickness as the rest of the device. Finish was excellent-no rough spots. It is quite comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. Peeing through it is a little messy. It tends to dribble where it comes out of the glans, or perhaps out the hole that holds the ring. Otherwise, I am completely happy with it.

- Quality Review by Ralph
Quality Very well made and comfortable. I had the ZZ plug first and found it did not stay in as well as this does. The ZZ is almost 12MM (1/2') and has a larger hollow center which looks and works well when fully inserted. If a 13 MM is ever offered in the screw model I will definitely be interested in the larger size with the option of no end ring side holes drilled in the tip. These feel awsome to wear.

- A wearable art piece! Review by Patrick
Quality I was a little ambitious getting this piece as my first plug and selecting the 11 mm diameter. I was quite sure I'd made a mistake when I saw its size after opening the package. Upon cleaning and initial inspection (which I recommend before use), the last turn of the screw flight on the plug had more of a knife edge than a flat surface which left it a bit sharp, so some filing and buffing were in order.
Despite its bulk, it fit nicely, though, after a little patience, coaxing and ample lubricant. It seemed very snug until it popped out while peeing, leaving me a bit unsure how secure it is without something more to anchor it.
It has a nice heft, and I love its squat proportion. Being both fat and short, the way the glans squeezes around it provides an amazing sensation! I have since purchased other plugs, but this one remains my favorite and it's great to wear on a regular basis. It was a great introduction to penis plugs and one that I highly encourage anyone curious to try.(Posted on 1/23/13)
- Great Review by Bob
Quality This is a wonderful toy, I lost my last one due to slipping out, -I use no lube.This time I bought a 10 and it is slipping as well. I am about to order the 11 and see if it will stay in. It feels wonderful when inserted and I like wearing it for long time periods, it makes my urethra very sensitive which I like. Delivery was very fast and discreet. Thank you Chain Gang..............

ACTS RETREATS ACTS retreats are held annually for men and for women. ACTS stands for Adoration, Community, Theology and Service and is a parish-centered weekend conducted mostly by laypeople. It is an exploration of the basics of Catholic faith that renews people's hearts and helps them renew their spiritual practice. To find out more about ACTS, call Mike Marchi at 849-2741. LITTLE ROCK BIBLE STUDY This Catholic bible study developed by the Diocese of Little Rock, Arkansas offers short weekly courses on various books or themes of the scripture. It involves a weekly discussion and sharing as well as daily reading and study. It is designed for people who want to learn more about the bible, not for experts. It is very interesting and also offers people a chance to meet other parishioners and to pray together. For information call Mary Randant at 359-0576 WHITE HOUSE RETREAT The White House Retreat is operated by the Jesuits at a spectacular location on the Mississippi bluffs in south St. Louis County. Retreats for men and women are offered throughout the year. The men of OLP usually have their retreat in July. For more information contact John Richmond at 842-5038.
R. C. I. A. The Rite of Christian Inititation of Adults
JOURNEY INTO FAITH (R. C. I. A.) The RCIA is a journey for those who are interested in becoming Catholic or simply for finding out more about the Catholic faith. The RCIA is a process of sharing Catholic teaching, prayer, Scripture, spiritual formation, rituals and coming to know members of the church community.
The process consists of the following stages: PRE-CATECHUMENATE (Inquiry) This is a "Come and See" time – a time for questions, finding out more about the Lord, the Catholic faith and the Catholic Church. CATECHUMENATE Those persons who are still interested after their initial inquiry are formally welcomed and begin a Catechumenate period of learning more about Jesus, the Catholic Church, the Sacraments, Catholic morality and daily living as a Catholic. PURIFICATION AND ENLIGHTENMENT During Lent, the Church calls those who have discerned that God is calling them to be Catholic to make their final preparation for their initiation into the Church through Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist (or Reception into Full Communion for the already-baptized). Lent is a period of a more intense spiritual preparation. SACRAMENTS OF INITITATION At the Easter Vigil, the Catechumens (unbaptized) and the Candidates (already baptized) are baptized or received into the Church, confirmed and receive the Eucharist for the first time.
For further information, please contact Deacon David Amelotti: firstname.lastname@example.com or 314-843-3604.

ThatNew MackSmell - Comment #674,961
You are viewing a single comment's thread.
You have discovered the secret to my kramas: post a lot.
I'll let you know, Mack. I feel like I never actually "tried" to date in college, and I most certainly didn't in grad school. It would be interesting to have someone to date, and I did enjoy the wistful pining over some girls, but perhaps I've done that for a while longer than I'd like. I'm 25 now. I'm gettin' old.
As for beliefs, I feel I am similar. When asked about my ideals, I don't back down in stating them. But when it comes to discussion about which approach or set of beliefs is better in regards to politics or anything, I prefer to simply listen. It's a bit selfish, but often times, people will just go on and on about what they think, and I sorta just lead them along to hear what they have to say. It's part of the reason why people know little about me even though I'm far from a secretive person: People just never ask, and I never feel the need to tell.
As for the shrinking font-size:

Zagreus sits inside your head
Zagreus lives among the dead
Zagreus sees you in your bed
And eats you when you're sleepingZagreus at the end of days
Zagreus lies all other ways
Zagreus comes when time's a maze
And all of history's weepingZagreus taking time apart.
Zagreus fears the hero heart.
Zagreus seeks the final part.
The reward that he is reaping.Zagreus sings when all is lost
Zagreus takes all those he's crossed
Zagreus wins and all is cost
The hero's hearts he's keeping.Zagreus seeks the hero's ship
Zagreus needs the web to rip
Zagreus sups time at a drip
And life aside, he's sweeping.- Eighth Doctor, Seventh Doctor, Sixth Doctor, Fifth Doctor, Lady President Romana
I loved Zagreus but I'm refusing to let my sister listen to it until she gets really emotionally attached to Charley. Or at Christmas, like I did with myself.

After giving up on art, you lot are only getting sketches and scribbles this go round. Sorry. Ooh, lots of angry little faces. Lots and lots of little faces.
Anywaysssss, for those I have not already pestered with my joyous squealing already, I, have been listening to Zagreus as sort of a Christmas present to myself and also in part that I cannot manage to get my hands on the Five Companions…
It is pretty much everything the hype led me to believe and I cannot, as usual, describe it accurately but all around stupendous: the story, the acting, and so on.
And a final picture for Neverland. Today I plan to do…whatever I like! Merry Christmas!
Doktah and Charl—WHAT'S HAPPENING? WHAT HAPPENED? NO DOCTOR! Are you okay? Oh no. Oh no. OH NOOOO. This is bad bad bad. Oh no no no no no. YOU'RE NOT THE DOCTORRRR.
Done! That was good…Really good. This however was drawn at the beginning of the audio and I may post another, more fitting sketch for this whining.
so my roommate and I have been listening to Zagreus
They're the Brigadier…and the TARDIS…DID YOU WISH REALLY HARD?

NewsGCKI Sets New Record for Club MembershipAt the club's May board meeting, membership totals were tallied. As of mid-May, GCKI now enjoys 336 total members (master members and associates.) This far eclipses the club's old record of 300 total members set in March of 2010 (before the global economic downturn.) It also represents a greater than 10% increase in our total membership from just the start of this year. The surge in membership is attributed to a number of factors – the excitement surrounding the Texas Pro Kart Challenge, the growing field of Chonda and Chonda Cadet classes as well as the hard-work and dedication of a core group of club members to make GCKI the best karting experience in the United States. GCKI is grateful to all who continue to support the club. Please help spread the word. Like lap records – this is one record, we hope will continue to be broken over and over again! |

Effect of CO2 Enrichment on Synthesis of Some Primary and Secondary Metabolites in Ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe)
Department of Crop Science, Faculty of Agriculture, University Putra Malaysia, 43400 UPM Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia
* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Received: 4 December 2010; in revised form: 14 January 2011 / Accepted: 17 January 2011 / Published: 10 February 2011

Abstract: The effect of two different CO2 concentrations (400 and 800 µmol mol−1) on the photosynthesis rate, primary and secondary metabolite syntheses and the antioxidant activities of the leaves, stems and rhizomes of two Zingiber officinale varieties (Halia Bentong and Halia Bara) were assessed in an effort to compare and validate the medicinal potential of the subterranean part of the young ginger. High photosynthesis rate (10.05 µmol CO2 m−2s−1 in Halia Bara) and plant biomass (83.4 g in Halia Bentong) were observed at 800 µmol mol−1 CO2. Stomatal conductance decreased and water use efficiency increased with elevated CO2 concentration. Total flavonoids (TF), total phenolics (TP), total soluble carbohydrates (TSC), starch and plant biomass increased significantly (P ≤ 0.05) in all parts of the ginger varieties under elevated CO2 (800 µmol mol−1). The order of the TF and TP increment in the parts of the plant was rhizomes > stems > leaves. More specifically, Halia Bara had a greater increase of TF (2.05 mg/g dry weight) and TP (14.31 mg/g dry weight) compared to Halia Bentong (TF: 1.42 mg/g dry weight; TP: 9.11 mg/g dry weight) in average over the whole plant. Furthermore, plants with the highest rate of photosynthesis had the highest TSC and phenolics content. Significant differences between treatments and species were observed for TF and TP production. Correlation coefficient showed that TSC and TP content are positively correlated in both varieties. The antioxidant activity, as determined by the ferric reducing/antioxidant potential (FRAP) activity, increased in young ginger grown under elevated CO2. The FRAP values for the leaves, rhizomes and stems extracts of both varieties grown under two different CO2 concentrations (400 and 800 µmol mol−1) were significantly lower than those of vitamin C (3107.28 μmol Fe (II)/g) and α-tocopherol (953 μmol Fe (II)/g), but higher than that of BHT (74.31 μmol Fe (II)/g). These results indicate that the plant biomass, primary and secondary metabolite synthesis, and following that, antioxidant activities of Malaysian young ginger varieties can be enhanced through controlled environment (CE) and CO2 enrichment.

Shares of Sunesis began trading as SNSSD on Tuesday, as the company exercised a reverse stock split, reducing the share count by a sixth.
According to the press release that announced the reverse split, Sunesis took this action to "better enable Sunesis to meet and maintain the $1.00 minimum bid price required for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market and attract additional shareholder interest."
After twenty days trading under the symbol SNSSD, Sunesis will resume trading under the standard SNSS ticker.
Generally, reverse stock splits are exercised by companies in unhealthy financial positions or are struggling to maintain minimum listing prices. While all speculative biotechs could be considered in unhealthy positions because of the constant threat of dilution to fund the pipelines, nothing has changed regarding the potential of Sunesis, although it was becoming apparently clear that it would be a working effort to prop the SNSS share price back up to above the $1 mark without affecting a reverse split.
The action may meet the objectives that the company had in mind by maintaining the NASDAQ's minimum price of $1 and attracting new and less-speculative investors to the company, but it's a general rule of thumb that shares decline after reverse splits are conducted, and it should be assumed that Sunesis will fall victim to that phenomenon as well.
That said, nothing has changed with the potential of the pipeline, which includes Vosaroxin for the treatment of relapsed / refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML), for which a Phase III trial is underway; Vosaroxin for the treatment of platinum resistant ovarian cancer, for which Phase II trials have been completed, and SNS-314, a treatment for advanced solid tumors.
If the stock does, in fact, take a dive - significant or not - then investors may have a nice buying opportunity to accumulate shares while waiting for the outcome of the Vosaroxin Phase III.
Sunesis is currently sitting on over fifty million dollars in cash and investments, so there is no immediate threat of dilution, but Geron showed us that it's wise to expect a cash raising event at any time in the biotech sector, it's just the nature of the game.
Keep an eye on SNSSD. Any post-split slide will present the time to buy, if you want to take a chance on Vosaroxin.
Disclosure: No position.

CWRU faculty can request a dedicated research space in the Kelvin Smith Library. There are five individual study rooms — each furnished with their own desk, chair, lockable file cabinet, and a library book truck. In addition, there is one shared room for five faculty members furnished with desks, chairs, and lockers for coats and personal belongings.
All of these rooms are secured. Faculty members are assigned keys to each space. These rooms can be accessed whenever KSL is open, including during 24x7. All rooms have electrical outlets and access to WiFi.
Faculty study rooms are assigned for an academic year on a first-come, first-served basis. If the demand exceeds the available space, they are then assigned using a lottery system. Assignment of a study room for this year does not guarantee any priority or preference for an assignment in the next academic year.

Torres finally beginning to settle
November 15, 2012
By Kevin Palmer
Chelsea signed Torres from Liverpool in January 2010 in the hope that he would become their new talismanic scoring machine, but his failings have forced him to adapt his talents for the benefit of Roberto Di Matteo's side.

Before we get started, here's a quick reminder: If you're looking for a place to listen to the Brewers during tonight's Packer game, be sure to check out our handy station guide.
With that out of the way, welcome back to baseball at Miller Park.
Randy Wolf (3.45 ERA, 4.16 FIP) will take the mound as the Brewers resume play after over 48 hours between games. This is Wolf's fifth August start and the results have been somewhat mixed: He's had two excellent starts (eight innings each, one combined run against the Cardinals and Dodgers) and two rough outings (12.1 combined innings, ten runs on 17 hits against the Cardinals and Mets). His last outing was one of the rough ones, as he allowed five runs to the Mets on eight hits over 6.1 innings, walking one and striking out three.
Wolf's ability to pitch relatively deep into games is becoming an interesting story: He's only the 19th pitcher in Brewer history to pitch six innings or more in 14 straight starts, and the first since CC Sabathia in 2008. Tonight he could become the first Brewer to do it in 15 straight games since Chris Capuano's 17 start streak in 2006.
Wolf is facing the Cubs for the third time this season. On April 8 he got roughed up, allowing six runs on nine hits over six innings. In June he he pitched seven shutout innings in a 1-0 Brewer loss. Six Cub position players have faced him ten times or more:
Player | PA | AVG | OBP | SLG | OPS |
Alfonso Soriano | 34 | .241 | .324 | .448 | .772 |
Aramis Ramirez | 32 | .167 | .219 | .300 | .519 |
Geovany Soto | 26 | .320 | .346 | .720 | 1.066 |
Jeff Baker | 19 | .421 | .421 | .632 | 1.053 |
Starlin Castro | 12 | .333 | .333 | .417 | .750 |
Marlon Byrd | 11 | .400 | .455 | 1.100 | 1.555 |
Soriano, Soto and Byrd all have multiple career home runs against Wolf.
He'll face veteran journeyman Rodrigo Lopez (4.97 ERA, 5.17 FIP), pitching for his sixth organization since 2006. Lopez is making his 21st appearance and eleventh start for the Cubs since coming over in a minor deal in May, and led the NL with 111 earned runs and 37 home runs allowed as a Diamondback last season. He last pitched on Sunday, allowing five runs on ten hits to the Cardinals in 5.1 innings with a walk and four strikeouts. He allowed four home runs in that game.
Lopez throws a high 80's fastball but relies heavily on a slider (26% of pitches) and changeup (17%). The slider has been a pretty good pitch in 2011 at +1.02 runs per 100. His changeup (-4.90 runs per 100) might be one of the worst pitches in baseball.
Lopez faced the Brewers twice as a reliever in June, allowing two runs on four hits over two innings of work. Two Brewers have faced him ten times or more:
Player | PA | AVG | OBP | SLG | OPS |
Mark Kotsay | 14 | .143 | .143 | .214 | .357 |
Yuniesky Betancourt | 13 | .154 | .154 | .308 | .462 |
Jerry Hairston Jr, Corey Hart and Casey McGehee have all homered against him.
Here's tonight's lineup:
Corey Hart RF
Nyjer Morgan CF
Ryan Braun LF
Prince Fielder 1B
Casey McGehee 3B
Yuniesky Betancourt SS
Jerry Hairston Jr 2B
George Kottaras C
Randy Wolf P
And in the bullpen:
Takashi Saito pitched one inning (12 pitches) Wednesday.
Tim Dillard pitched .2 innings (eight pitches) Wednesday.
John Axford pitched .1 innings (five pitches) Wednesday.
Kameron Loe and LaTroy Hawkins last pitched on Tuesday.
Frankie De La Cruz, Tim Dillard and Chris Narveson last pitched on Monday.
Francisco Rodriguez last pitched on Sunday.

Nancy Grace Reveals Her Secret 'Dancing With The Stars' Weapon
Nancy Grace has a surprising secret weapon in her armor when she hits the ballroom – some Michael Jackson-inspired moves.
"I grew up watching 'Soul Train' and 'American Bandstand,' doing everything I thought Michael Jackson was doing, so I'm gonna try to parlay all that knowledge on to the dance floor," the HLN host told Access Hollywood Live's Kit Hoover earlier this week.
Fresh off the Casey Anthony murder trial coverage, which she helped shape and lead, the anchor is gearing up for her "Dancing" debut alongside professional Tristan MacManus, who has appeared on "DWTS" as a troupe member, but Season 13 marks his first time with a celebrity partner.
Nancy has been enjoying her time with Irish ballroom hunk Tristan, but he isn't sure her skills are quite ready to go.
"Am I ready? I don't think my partner would agree at all," Nancy laughed. "No, I'm not ready."
Nancy's big hair is one of her trademarks, and she has no plans to change up her anchor-perfect locks for a smoother look in the ballroom.
"Midriff? No hair spray? What the hair are you talking about, lady?" Nancy laughed, when Kit asked if she'd change up her look.
The former prosecutor is a feisty television presence, but she is ready to be respectful of judges Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli.
"As long as they don't tell me how to try a murder case, I'm not gonna tell them how to dance," she said.
The new season of "Dancing with the Stars" will premiere on Monday, September 19, in a two-hour show, from 8-10 PM ET/PT.
The following night, ABC will air "Dancing with the Stars: Meet the Cast," which airs at 8 PM, followed at 9 PM by the first "DWTS" results show.
