Disney announces first film production in China
Joe McDonald | The Associated Press
Posted December 14, 2005
BEIJING -- The Walt Disney Co. on Wednesday announced its first film production in China, adding to its efforts to break into the booming Chinese entertainment market.
The Chinese-language film, "The Secret of the Magic Gourd," began shooting in October in the eastern city of Hangzhou and is due to be released next year, Disney said. It is based on a popular children's book by the late Chinese novelist Zhang Tianyi.
Disney's partners are state-owned China Film Group Corp. and Hong Kong's Centro Digital Pictures, Ltd., a special effects house best known for its work on director Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill."
Disney has opened Disney-brand stores in several mainland Chinese cities and is reportedly in talks on setting up a Shanghai theme park and a television channel. But its film offerings to mainland audiences have been mostly imported U.S. productions.
"It's a perfect time for Disney to bring its wholesome family entertainment expertise to this rapidly growing market as part of The Walt Disney Co.'s focus on expanding our presence in China," **** Cook, chairman of The Walt Disney Studios, said in a prepared statement.
The company didn't release the film's budget.
Foreign film and television distributors are eager to expand in China, but face regulatory obstacles.
China's state-owned film distributor frequently releases foreign titles at awkward times and limits the length of time they are shown in order to minimize competition with China's own film industry.
Chinese studios have tried without success to create franchise characters that can match the success of Mickey Mouse and other Disney icons with Chinese children.
Chinese regulators also are especially sensitive to entertainment aimed at children, insisting that most cartoons on state television be domestically made.
An official of China's main TV regulator said in June that Beijing might further reduce the amount of foreign cartoons that broadcasters can show once Chinese producers can meet demand.
China Film Group is the mainland government's main film production and distribution company, with interests in studios, a movie channel and DVD sales.
Centro also worked on Chinese director Chen Kaige's newly released "The Promise."

Frequent Urination OverviewMost people typically urinate four to eight times a day. Needing to go more than eight times a day or waking up in the night to go to the bathroom more than once in the night is considered frequent urination. Though the bladder can often hold as much as 600 ml of urine (about 2 ½ cups), the urge to urinate is usually felt when the bladder contains about 150 ml of urine (just over ½ cup). There are two different ways to look at frequent urination: either as an increase in total volume of urine produced (polyuria) or a dysfunction in the storage and emptying of urine.

Open Season: Allen, whom we introduced a short time ago in his first solo, decided he wanted to watch as two young men do their thing, but soon his interest grew hard and into the action he went. These three go for some of the biggest dildoes ever. At first Brad is excited, but once he feels the huge tool being shoved into his ass he begs for more and more. Bill, with Allen's help, gives Brad all three dildoes and his scorching fist too. Bill and Brad are all over the bedroom as they fuck each other with cocks, fists and toys. A three-way to be remembered!

coevolution (kō'ěv-ə-l'shən) Pronunciation Key
The evolution of two or more species that interact closely with one another, with each species adapting to changes in the other. The mutually beneficial development of flowering plants and insects such as bees and butterflies that pollinate them is an example of coevolution, as is the mutually antagonistic development of prey and predator species in which defensive adaptations in the one are matched by counteradaptations in the other aimed at neutralizing or overcoming them. |
The process that occurs when two species influence each other during evolution. For example, an insect may evolve specialized parts that allow it to feed on a specific flower, whereas the flower evolves to facilitate pollination by that particular insect.

Recipe by KLEVANG
"Salmon lovers and those who like non-traditional cheese balls will enjoy this nice appetizer. Chopped nuts may be used for rolling instead of parsley."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 (16 ounce) can salmon, drained and flaked
1 bunch chopped parsley
I make a similar version of this recipe that everyone swoons over: I add a teaspoon or two of "liquid smoke." Adds a great smoky flavor and tastes great!
I really had to doctor this up to keep it from being bland. I was excited to find fresh horseradish but I couldn't taste it. I put in about 2 tablespoons. I also added some garlic powder, dash of liquid smoke, white pepper and worchestersire sauce. I suggest making ahead, it tasted better the second day.
25 Ratings
This is a LONG time family favorite, except we double the onion and add 1/2 tsp liquid smoke. Spread on Ritz.. everyone loves it!
Very good. Disappeared fast at the party. It was easy, looked nice and tasted great. The deep pink of the ball contrasted nicely with the fresh parsley. I used red salmon and added white pepper to the ball.
This is a great recipe, we also add liquid smoke, and we roll ours in real bacon bits......yummy!! A holiday favorite amongst My Grandma, My Momma ,and now myself!! Enjoy
Everyone liked this. In place of the salt I used about 1/2 teaspoon of garlic salt, about 2 tablespoons of green onion, and a little liquid smoke as suggested.
The BIGGEST hit at a Thanksgiving pot-luck at work, then Thanksgiving dinner, then Post-Thanksgiving dinner, then another party later on (you get the idea!). I noticed a lot of people mentioned smoked salmon. For someone who doesn't have the money for a handled smoker, and canned smoked salmon isn't available in the regular grocery stores and is way too expensive in the fancier, Bumblebee's Atlantic Salmon is a pretty flavorful alternative. The leftover (if there is any) hold up very well in the fridge overnight for a second helping the next day.
I can remember my grandmother and mother always making a salmon ball (served with wheat thins) at any party we had. I always make this with a vidalia onion for a little sweetness, to go with the salty-ness of the salmon. Also, I roll it in a mixture of fresh chopped parsley and chopped pecans. They give it great color and texture!

Carrie Underwood's 'Good Girl' is Certified Platinum

Carrie Underwood Scores 10th Platinum Single
Last month, Carrie Underwood's new album,
Blown Away
debuted on the charts at #1
and held there for two weeks in a row. Now, more good news heads her way, as her label Sony Nashville sent out a press release announcing that Carrie's single "Good Girl" has been downloaded 1 million times and is now certified platinum. This is her 10th digital single to meet or exceed platinum status.
From the press release:
"Upon its release on May 1,
Blown Away
made history by debuting at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Country albums sales chart making Carrie only the second country artist in the 47 year history of the chart to have each of their first four albums debut at No. 1.
Blown Away
also debuts at No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart making Carrie only the second country artist in history to have three consecutive albums debut at No. 1.
Blown Away
became country's best-selling digital album debut since 2010."
Jermaine Jones Heads to Court
Over the years,
American Idol
has had its share of controversy, including having to disqualify contestants for covering up criminal records or other indiscretions. This year, if you recall, Jermaine Jones was asked to leave the show by Nigel Lythgoe (with the encounter actually airing on TV) after it came out that he had multiple charges against him and warrants out for his arrest.
Now Jones has made an appearance in court for these charges.
The Gloucester TownshipPatch reports
, "There was no resolution to the charges Tuesday. Gloucester Township Municipal Court Judge Nicholas Trabosh said all the charges would be handled together within the next 30 days. The judge did not set a date for Jones' next hearing."
So the drama continues. But Jones did say that once everything is settled and in the past, he plans on releasing an album as soon as possible. "There's a lot of great things going on," he says. We can look to someone like season 2's Corey Clark to see that it's going to be very difficult to overcome this hurdle and have any success in the music business.
Phillip Phillips Goes to D.C. (and Jessica to the Philippines)
BuddyTV reported
last week, Phillip Phillips had a successful surgery to remove kidney stones. He's currently recovering, but that's not stopping him from
planning his next move
. Before embarking on the
American Idol
summer tour, Phillips will make a stop in Washington, D.C. to perform his hit single "Home" on the lawn of the U.S. Capitol. This concert, to celebrate our nation's birthday, will air on PBS on July 4 (
check your local listings
for airings in your area).
Meanwhile, Jessica Sanchez is finalizing tour plans beyond this summer's tour with her fellow Idols.
According to the Philippine Daily Inquirer
, she will be flying to the Philippines in October to headline her own concerts in Manila, Bataan, Baguio, Cebu and Davao, with a sixth stop still being worked out. No specific dates are known at this time.

Assembly GOP Leader calls for special session
The Republican leader of the state Assembly is calling for the legislature to return for a special session to wrap up some unfinished business.
The legislature adjourned at the end of June with no firm plans to meet again before next January, but Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb says there's too much left to do to wait until next year.
"I definitely think we should go back," Kolb said.
He says number one on the agenda should be the passage of nine out of ten points of Governor Cuomo's Women's Equality Act. He says many Republicans, and some Democrats, don't want to approve the tenth item, to codify in New York law the abortion rights in the federal Roe v Wade decision. But he says the other nine items, which include cracking down on sex trafficking and harsher penalties for domestic violence, need to be acted on.
The state Senate approved the nine provisions, but the Assembly passed them as part of a larger bill that also included the abortion provision. As a result, none of the provisions in the Women's Equality Act became law. Kolb says that's not right.
"There's votes on both sides of the aisle, and I think what you're getting is politicking," said Kolb. "Which I think is, quite frankly, shameful."
Kolb says he has a family member who was affected by domestic violence, but did not want to offer more details, citing the person's privacy. He says numbers by Governor Cuomo's division of Criminal Justice Services, showing that domestic violence rates in New York are rising, is more evidence that action needs to be taken.
The Assembly GOP leader says he'd also like to see mixed martial arts approved, and enact some reforms like term limits for legislative leaders and committee chairs. Kolb would also like to pass a bill to take away the pensions of lawmakers convicted of crimes.
The Assembly is dominated by Democrats, who have been embroiled in an ongoing sexual harassment scandal involving former Assemblyman Vito Lopez and current Assemblyman Micah Kellner, both of whom are running for New York City Council. Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver has admitted that he made a mistake when he approved a secret settlement for two of Lopez's alleged victims, and has fired his top counsel, saying the attorney withheld from him information on accusations against Assemblyman Kellner.
Democrats have displayed little enthusiasm for returning to Albany before next year.
Assemblyman Kolb has been more reticent than many of his GOP colleagues to directly criticize Assembly Speaker Silver or to call for his resignation. Kolb says while the scandals have been an embarrassment to the entire Assembly it's really up to the 100 or so Assembly Democrats to choose their leader. He says they are the ones who have the power to vote the Speaker out of office.
"The ultimate goal is saying 'whose scandal is this,' it's not ours," Kolb said. "So let's look and hold the people accountable for whose scandal it is."
Kolb says those who want "red meat" won't be satisfied with his stance, but he says as someone representing the entire state, he feels he needs to take a different tone and try to get Democrats, including the head of the state's Democratic Party, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, to take some responsibility.
"Let's keep the flash light on them, rather than looking for political points in the newspaper on what I may or may not say about this," Kolb said.
The Assembly Minority Leader says he does plan to make the sexual harassment scandals a campaign issue in the 2014 elections. Republicans are outnumbered two to one by the Democrats in the Assembly. He says it's an opportunity to perhaps gain some more seats.

Social Networking for Fashion Doll Lovers
I have a large collection of barbies, and I like to do lots of different hair dues on them but of course after a while their hair gets damaged. I normally use just whatever shampoo and conditioner I have and use for me. I just want to know if I should use a different product for them or if its ok to just keep doing it as i have been.
I find shampoo and conditioner works, but for me the big help is Johnson and Johnson "no more tangles".. it makes doll hair easy to comb through.
I've been known to use dishwashing soap on really greasy, oily hair (or anything that appears to have been sitting in a basement for far too long--anti-bacterial to the rescue!) but any regular conditioner seems to work on detangling.
Vintage is a whole other story--go gentle on their hair and never soak dolls with wigs made from mohair! you will probably destroy the glue holding the wig together and maybe even the doll.
You can use any shampoo even dish soap, but I would definitely use a conditioner to take the tangles out. Additionally, I use the generic version of "No More Tangles" found in the baby section while combing it out with a wide tooth comb gently. I think go cheap on shampoo, but getting the tangles out, so you don't pull the hair out is key sometimes I have to detangle it with my fingers.
I have heard you can use fabric softener, but I have never tried it on a blonde doll. I have used it w/dark brown hair though.

As of Wednesday, January 23, 2013
© Copyright 2014
Gwinnett Daily Post
WASHINGTON -- My inner Pollyanna was basking in blissfulness, rolling in the hay of righteous rhetoric, backstroking through the sunny sibilance of aspiration.
Drunk, apparently, on alliteration.
It was a perfect day. Cold but not freezing. Crowded but not crushing. A diverse people celebrating yet another historic day in the nation's capital.
In one poignant moment, he paused while re-entering the Capitol and turned for a last look at his kingdom and subjects: "I want to take a look one more time," said President Barack Obama. "I'm not going to see this again."
OK, fine, he's not king and voters are not subjects. At least not yet. But it must have felt that way, especially having just delivered an inaugural address that informed the nation that things are about to change, royally.
Bipartisanship brunches notwithstanding, there was no hint in Obama's words that he was interested in chatting up his political opposition over common ground. When he turned to bid farewell to a memory, he might as well have been bidding farewell to his former self -- the conciliatory politician who once declared that there is no red America nor a blue America.
"Sayonara, suckers. You'll never see that guy again."
Obama may have entered the presidency hoping to bring an end to partisanship, but he entertains no such fantasies now. As he once told a handful of reporters on Air Force One, "I'm no patsy."
Confident and experienced in his second term, Obama has become fully himself. Which is not to say that I disagree with everything or even most of what he said -- at least thematically. Who isn't for justice, equality, love, climate stability and peace in our time? Sign me up.
Confession: With speeches as with movies, I'm not much of an instant critic. I don't watch a movie; I enter it. I want to lose myself, to feel what the actor feels, to experience the world as he does. I check my snark at the door.
Thus, Pollyanna saw the inauguration this way: Obama, the first black president entering a second term on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, seized the moment and left perfect storms whimpering in envy. Expansive in his vision of a United States, bound by common purpose and the belief that all men and women are created equal, he reiterated the Great American Truth: That every man and women has an inalienable right to pursue happiness and prosperity on a level playing field, equal in all ways under all laws.
Sing it! Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord. ... His truth is marching on!
Then he said: "We have always understood that when times change, so must we; that fidelity to our founding principles requires new responses to new challenges; that preserving our individual freedoms ultimately requires collective action."
Yes, yes, yes! I'll have what he's having. I'll go sleeveless in winter and cut my bangs! Of course we change when necessary. And of course we have to work to keep those truths ... truthful.
Then along comes little Miss Monday Morning, who always begins her sentences with, "Yes, but." What does this mean, substantively? Ah:
"The commitments we make to each other through Medicare, and Medicaid, and Social Security -- these things do not sap our initiative; they strengthen us. They do not make us a nation of takers; they free us to take the risks that make this country great."
Loose translation: Entitlement reform will not be topping the president's second-term agenda. What it means beyond this is any palm reader's guess.
We understand that we're not a nation of takers (as Paul Ryan once regrettably put it), but how entitlement programs that far exceed our ability to pay for them "free us to take the risks that make this country great" is gobbledygook of the first order. It reeks of caffeine and the smug satisfaction familiar to all writers, who, upon crafting a sentence that is full of sound and fury signifying nothing, ignore the editor's imperative: Delete, delete, delete. Or as I prefer to put it, kill your little darlings.
What it all really means, of course, is that Barack Obama has been liberated by a second term, free to take risks that he hopes will make his legacy great. This is his moment, his emancipation proclamation, his hinge point of history -- and there's no looking back now.

When running the ping test for #1752, we see units which stop responding (resuming) to pings, but which respond fine if the unit is woken manually (e.g. with the power button). We have managed to stop the suspend/resume cycling on some machines without crashing the kernel (a difficult feat!), and the system thinks that it has a fully operational mesh interface: it still shows up on iwconfig and ifconfig. Attempts to ping a laptop in this state, or to ping another mesh node from it fail w. 100% packet loss.
This problem has been seen on at least four different machines, typically after running between 10,000 and 20,000 cycles of suspend/resume. All machines were running build 581, w. OFW q2c28.
This may be related to a similar problem reported in ticket #3738

Bob Mills graduated from the University of
Manchester with a BA in Medieval Studies in 1994 and an MA in the History of
Art in 1996. He completed his PhD in the Department of History of Art at the
University of Cambridge in 2000. The focus of Bob's doctoral research was
representations of pain and punishment in medieval art and literature and there
has always been an interdisciplinary bent to his profile. Reflecting these
interests, Bob was appointed as Lecturer in English at King's College London in
2001, where he remained for eleven years, before joining the History of Art
Department at University College London in 2012.
Although the central core of Bob's research focuses on the visual culture and literature of England and France between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries, he has also published on art in the Low Countries, Germany and Italy. Bob's first book Suspended Animation: Pain, Pleasure and Punishment in Medieval Culture (2005), which came out of his doctoral research, shows this range. One of the essay collections he co-edited, The Monstrous Middle Ages (2003), exemplifies his commitment to research with a strong interdisciplinary focus.
Bob has longstanding interests in gender and sexuality, both as historical phenomena and critical categories. He has published a number of chapters and articles in this field, and he contributed the medieval section to A Gay History of Britain (2007). Feminist theory, queer studies and LGBT cultural history have always exerted a shaping influence on his research. At King's he was director of the Queer@King's research centre, and he has organized a number of symposia, conferences, research seminars and public events under this heading.
Recently Bob completed a book called Seeing Sodomy in the Middle Ages. This book explores the relationship between sodomy and motifs of vision and visibility in medieval culture, on the one hand, and those categories we today call 'gender' and 'sexuality,' on the other. Built around a core of texts and images from high and late medieval England, France and Italy, Seeing Sodomy foregrounds the role played by translation – visual, textual and cultural – in defining when and how male and female same-sex relations become intelligible. Bob is also interested in issues of translation more generally and 2012 sees the publication another co-edited collection, Rethinking Medieval Translation: Ethics, Politics, Theory.
Bob is now turning his attention to questions of the animal and interspecies desire in medieval culture. He is currently developing a book project on this theme. He has also published essays on queer theory, museums and public culture and wishes to return to these topics in future research.
Bob is very interested in supervising doctoral projects on any aspect of medieval visual culture (broadly defined); research situated at the interface between the visual and the verbal; projects on animals and animal-human relations. He is also interested in supervising research on medieval gender and sexuality, as well as work exploring aspects of queer history and art history in any period from a theoretical perspective.

Pod Workouts: A New Way to Get FitPod Workouts: A New Way to Get Fit By Carol Sorgen
Reviewed By Louise Chang, MD You see people wearing the little earbuds on the bus, at the mall, on the treadmill at the gym ... MP3 players are just about everywhere these days. And not everyone is using them just to catch the latest tunes and movies. The latest buzz in fitness is downloadable MP3 workouts, experts say. "They're popping up everywhere," says Mike Monroe, head trainer and program director for Push.TV, a home workout system based in New York. All kinds of workouts are available -- from cardio programs, to strength training, to yoga, and Pilates classes, says Gregory Florez, chief executive officer of Fit Advisor Health Coaching Services in Salt Lake City, Utah, and a spokesperson for the American Council on Exercise (ACE). Pod workouts are popular for several reasons. They can be used anytime, anywhere, and at a relatively low cost (some are even available free). They're good for people who like the structure of being told what to do, but can't afford to hire a fitness trainer, says Monroe. And they can enhance your own workouts on a bike, treadmill, or elliptical machine, says California fitness trainer Tracey Mallett, who has developed her own "pod" workouts. Vivian Jung, a Pilates instructor in Selden, N.Y., who produces a video podcast called "Hottieworkouts," thinks downloadable workouts can be especially inspiring to people intimidated by working out in a gym. "Shy clients who are afraid to try dance-based classes can practice our 'Hottieworkouts' at home and then feel more confident to come in to the studio," says Jung. "And I hope that those people who live in areas that do not have good studios will benefit from experiencing quality programs via their computers/iPods." Not for Everyone While the portability (not to mention the "cool" factor) makes MP3 workouts popular, they're not without drawbacks. For starters, says Lyndsi Johnson, a researcher in the Graduate Studies Department of Exercise and Wellness at Arizona State University, MP3 workouts -- especially those that are audio-only -are aimed mostly at people who are already active and know something about fitness. "This style of workout may be more challenging for someone making the transition to a regular physical activity routine due to the fact that audio instruction may be difficult to interpret, especially without existing fitness knowledge and previous exercise experience," says Johnson. If you're using an audio-only workout, you have to visualize what the trainer means and hope you're doing it the right way, adds Push.TV's Mike Monroe. Even the pod workouts that include video present their challenges. The tiny screen may be difficult to see, and some workouts show only a starting and finishing position -- leaving you to wonder just what the correct form is during the actual exercise. "You're not going to get the same correction you would from a trainer in a gym," says Monroe. Another drawback, says ACE spokesperson Gregory Florez, is that "anyone can throw one of these programs up on the Web." Unless you research the presenter's credentials, you could wind up with a workout developed by someone with no real training or experience. In those cases, "at best, you'll get an ineffective workout," says Florez. "At worst, you can wind up being injured." The Future of Fitness? When all is said and done, is MP3 fitness the wave of the future? "It's affordable; you do it on your schedule; it's varied; and it's built around your needs," says fitness trainer Jennifer Gianni, whose Fusion Pilates DVD series is available as customizable pod workouts at podfitness.com. "I don't think it gets any better." Mike Monroe, on the other hand, thinks this is just one more tool to take advantage of. "There will always be different workout personalities ... those who want to work out at home with a DVD, those who want to go to the gym and work with a trainer, those who simply want to do their own thing, and those who enjoy the latest technology," says Monroe. "Downloadable workouts appeal to a particular segment of the workout population, but I don't see this as taking over," he says. But as far as recorded exercise programs go, Jung believes podcasting is the future. It's easy to search for the type of program you want and download it, she says. She also likes the idea that students can respond to instructors directly through email, and can rate the programs on podcast search sites. "And as an instructor, I love the fact that I can deliver fresh new material quickly," she says. |

So we are back training, the coverage from Matt Rochinski on training camp has been pretty good so far. He has managed to get a lot of interviews with players and even one with MJ. However one thing that really frustrates me as a fan is I feel I have seen the same thing over and over. The same vague answers, I have heard them all before. "What did you work on this summer" answer = "errrr everything" or "how is everyone doing at training camp" = "everyone is playing really hard". These generic answers annoy me, as it's a chance to see what they have to say and they get away with basically saying nothing. Did you guys see the MJ video? Ask yourself what you learned from watching that, I learned nothing which frustrated me. I am sure he has a reason for giving these "politically correct" answers but sometimes fans just want to here the truth, I would have more respect saying it how it is.
Anyway rant over, it's been a busy week in the Bobcats front office, I'm going to run through a few of the moves we have made (or haven't) and give my opinion:
See you later Kwame, and thanks for Stopping by.
Kwame Brown signed in Golden State for one year at 7 million. First of all I want to congratulate Cho, as I think if MJ and Rod were still at the helm we would probably have chased Kwame and paid him. I see this as a success; we are being clever here by not overpaying (because 7 million is way too much). Instead we have signed Melvin Ely, an offensive minded big which should be a bonus as post scoring has always been a rarity in Charlotte. I am not saying this guy will be just as good as Kwame by any means, but he is a big body who hopefully Silas will rejuvenate in the same way he did with Kwame last year.
Underdogs sign Underdog.
We have brought it Reggie Williams at 5 million over the next two years. Reggie went undrafted and has worked his way into this league, I think him and the Bobcats are a good fit as neither have had an easy ride in the NBA. Reggie Williams signing here is good news! He will be having Knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus (just like TT). This is very bad news! Reggie will definitely be a three point threat and can play both SG/SF; this will help for sure as we are weak in depth at both those positions at this moment in time. I think again our front office needs credit here as Reggie was being chased by a number of "bigger" teams as some would call it. They managed to get him for two years AND at only 2.5 million a year which is a bargain! I hope you join me and wish Reggie the best of luck in his recovery and look forward to seeing him on the court in 2012!
What's Silas got in the Locker?
So it was Media day on Thursday 15th December and the Bobcats had a live chat with some of the players. Unfortunately I had lectures all day so could not ask any horribly probing questions. However I did read the chat manuscript, most questions were pretty boring "who do you like playing against", "what songs do you listen", "where do you eat" blah blah blahhh. However there were a couple of points that I found interesting/funny.
One fan asked to Maggette will you be averaging 20 points this year? His reply was this: "That's the plan – not only from me, but we're looking to get 20 from Gerald (Henderson) as well. Corey Maggette" That sports fans, is a bold prediction. I think many people thing Hendo will do well to average 16-18 never mind 20. It makes me think, has Maggette seen something in Hendo none of us have yet? Or is he just hoping and praying someone else can actually score. I think it's a mixture of both. Either way, I think the management will have told him you and Hendo are our two scorers and we want you to get 20 points per game. My prediction is 17 a game, and I am a Hendo fan.
Another fan asked Boris, what he is looking to bring to the team this year? His answer was this: I'm going to be bringing some wings from Mortimer's to practice! But seriously, I'm going to use my versatility to contribute to the team as best I can. Boris Diaw. Haha Boris very funny… but we all know that you will. All of those who enjoy making fat jokes about the Michelin man… sorry I mean Boris, this is for you. I look forward to seeing some funny pictures of the Sean May nature. He also said he is going to try and put on weight to play centre. The things Boris does for our team, so selfless!
I hope you enjoyed the read, see you in the forum and Tally Ho!
James Plowright, Manchester, England.

User Review for Today's Mom® Cozy Cuddler Pregnancy Pillow
I bought this pillow with my third pregnancy because at 7 months pregnant, I could not get comfortable at night. It did the trick and has been great for me, no complaints. I only wishh I would have bought it with my first and second pregnancy because my lower back pain was such a problem with both of those pregnancies also.
User Review for Today's Mom® Cozy Cuddler Pregnancy Pillow
I am in my fifth month, and sleeping has just become uncomfortable for me over the last few weeks. I've been debating over which pillow would be the best for the space in our queen bed, and for my ever growing belly and back aches. Turns out this is the one for us!! WOW. I did not get up once from 10-530. I did not toss and turn. I slept with my back along the edge of the pillow, with the curvy part between my legs. It kept my back from lean back and my spine straight. I am always tentative when following reviews, however, these are not lying. I was able to machine wash (and dry) the case, easily replace it, sleep all night, and my husband also had the best night sleeping too. Enough room for him, and without me tossing and turning, he was happy as a clam. Enough said. This pillow is worth every penny! Would replace it in a hearbeat. Well done BabyAge! Also, when purchasing, I checked online for any promotional codes, and got free shipping. You seriously can't beat it. Put your mind at ease, purchase the pillow, and sleep well (FINALLY!).
User Review for Today's Mom® Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow
Incredibly comfortable, and helps sleep more fully by making you feel supported and cocooned. Separates you a bit from your partner, but actually seemed to make the bed bigger and sleep better by not being disturbed by their tossing or turning.
User Review for Today's Mom® COOLMAX Pregnancy Pillow
My wife loves it but she did state she wish it was a little fuller especially around the neck region
User Review for Today's Mom® Pregnancy & Nursing Pillow Pack
My wife loves this pillow. The great back support provided leads to no more tossing and turning to find a comfortable position. This pillow has led to both of us getting a great night sleep.

Reference | EN 61162-1:2008 |
Title | Maritime navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems - Digital interfaces - Part 1: Single talker and multiple listeners |
Project Number | 17171 |
Abstract/Scope | Contains the requirements for data communication between maritime electronic instruments, navigation and radiocommunication equipment when interconnected via an appropriate system. Is intended to support one-way serial data transmission from a single talker to one or more listeners. This data is in printable ASCII form and may include information such as position, speed, depth, frequency allocation, etc. For applications where a faster transmission rate is necessary, reference should be made to IEC 61162-2. Is closely aligned with NMEA 0183 version 3.01. The main changes with respect to the previous edition include among others: - Clause 7 (Clause 5 in the previous edition) has been expanded to include two types of start of sentence delimiters. The conventional delimiter '$' is used with the conventional sentences which are now called parametric sentences. A new delimiter '!' identifies sentences that conform to special purpose encapsulation. |

After a year and still no fix?
I'm having the same problems. Text in the title block rotated, dimensions rotated, random text in the drawings rotated.
I am having this same problem in Civil 3D 2010.
Three years and 3 AutoCAD updates later and still no response from AutoDesk....
Is this really that difficult to correct? Where is AutoDesk?
I believe the resolution has to do with the text style.
I went into the text style editor and unchecked the "annotative" check box. I then went into the text properties and changed annotative text to "no". That fixed the problem. I'm not sure why that fixes the problem but it does.
Is this font associative text? be sure to check that the font style does not match layout if it is.

This injury is not age related. Whether in his prime or not, the course of the 'disease' would have been the same.
Dr. Norman Field
Albert Pujols had been a shell of his former self on the field this season, battling soreness in his surgically repaired right knee and plantar fasciitis in his left foot and hitting a mere .258/.330/.437, all career lows, largely as a result. Friday night, his plantar fascia, which has been nagging him since 2004 but had been especially painful this season, finally tore. Pujols is seeing a specialist on Monday to determine if he will need surgery on his foot, but with a minimum six-week recovery time, chances are he's done for the season. If so, it could be a blessing in disguise for the Angels.
With three days left before Wednesday's non-waiver trading deadline, the Angels enter Monday's action seven games below .500, 13 games out in the American League West and 8 1/2 games out of the second wild card spot. If they had any remaining hope of contending this season, the Pujols injury likely crushed it, and may have prevented the team from making an inadvisable trade as a result.
Last year, when the Angels traded a package headed by shortstop Jean Segura for Zack Greinke on July 27, the Angels were ten games over .500, four games out of first place in the West and leading the AL wild-card race. They still failed to make the playoffs, slipping behind the surging A's and Orioles in the wild card race. This year, Segura has emerged as a star in Milwaukee while the Angels' largely barren farm system was ranked dead last among the 30 teams by Baseball Prospectus entering the year. Any further deal to trade young talent for a long-shot at contention this season would have done more harm than good.
Meanwhile, the Angels owe Pujols $212 million over the next eight years. Given the steady decline in his production and health over the last few seasons, their best hope of getting a solid return on that investment was to get Pujols healthy, and given his determination to play through his injuries, his being forced to the disabled list at just the right moment for that DL stay to bleed into the offseason may have been exactly what the doctor ordered.
Prior to his current stay, Pujols had hit the disabled list just three times in his career and never remained there for more than 18 days. When he broke his wrist in 2011, he missed just 14 games. He has been playing through plantar fascia pain in his left foot since 2004, but he had never so much as missed a game as a result of it according to Baseball Prospectus's injury data. This season, despite the nagging injuries in his knee and foot, Pujols had missed just two games three weeks apart and started every one of the Angels' other 99 games before suffering his potential season-ending injury on Friday night.
This gets to a personal pet peeve of mine. Sports culture in general lauds players who play through injuries, but for every Kerri Strug, who executed a gold-medal-winning vault on a sprained ankle in the 1996 Olympics, there's an Eric Gagné, whose attempt to pitch through a knee injury in spring training 2005 resulted in altered mechanics which triggered a series of arm injuries that ultimately ended his career just three years later. Pujols in his prime could play through the pain in his foot and elsewhere, but as his performance on the field over the past several seasons has shown, doing so results in diminishing returns.
Year | Age | PA | BA | OBP | SLG | OPS+ |
2009 | 29 | 700 | .327 | .443 | .658 | 189 |
2010 | 30 | 700 | .312 | .414 | .596 | 173 |
2011 | 31 | 651 | .299 | .366 | .541 | 148 |
2012 | 32 | 670 | .285 | .343 | .516 | 138 |
2013 | 33 | 443 | .258 | .330 | .437 | 116 |
I don't doubt that favoring his left foot for eight seasons put enough additional strain on his right knee to prompt last October's surgery on that joint, or that, for the same reason, the increased pain in his left foot this season made it all the more difficult for that right knee to return to full health.
Hopefully with this latest injury, Pujols will be forced to allow his body to heal as fully as it can heading into his age-34 season. The result may not look anything like that eye-popping 2009 season above, but if he can turn the clock back even just to 2011 he'd earn his keep in Anaheim and give the Angels a far better chance of returning to contention next year than they would have had with a hobbled Pujols in the lineup for the remainder of this season and possibly the remainder of his contract.

Gene Kelly, a few Stooges, and the ultimate showdown; get a peek at this week's new and notable releases.
This indie comedy comes from the director of Chocolat and the Oscar-winning screenwriter of Slumdog Millionaire. That's probably how it snagged Ewan McGregor to play Britain's leading fisheries expert, who is approached by a consultant (Emily Blunt) about bringing fly-fishing to the desert. Weird? Maybe, but the film also stars Kristin Scott Thomas and Amr Waked.
This release includes a 2.40:1 aspect ratio and a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track. Otherwise, the single-disc release has two featurettes, including a piece on the inspiration for the film, "The Fisherman in the Middle East: Novelist Paul Torday."
