Taylor Lautener!
by wildstar19 on 11/14/2012 5:56:07 PM
@ fashionqn: It is possible to be a virgin after dating a lot of guys. Besides, is it really any ones business to ask if you are virgin or not? I know I would be mad if a random reporter asked me how many guys ive dated or if I am a virgin or not. Wouldnt you? Its none of yours or anyone's freakin business to ask if you are a virgin. Also, yes she has dated a lot of guys, but it just did not work. Cant you respect that?

Taylor Launtener
by beca11 on 11/7/2012 3:51:56 PM
I appreciate Taylor Swift, she knows that you have to date a variety of people in order to get a feel for what's out there. At least she isn't dating just one type of person who didn't work out. Now she nows that she wants someone mature (not like Connor Kennedy), but not old (like John Mayer). She's dated so many different guys that hopefully the right one is coming up soon. Logan Lerman, maybe?
by CupcakeKNB on 11/5/2012 7:30:54 PM
WOW, yeah I think Taylor needs to slow down a little bit-plus the guy was four years younger than her so...I dont know.
by WashingtonGirlie13 on 11/5/2012 3:34:11 PM
She needs to slow down her relationships and wait before she starts saying she wants them to be soul mates or something like that. Don't get me wrong, I love Tay as much as the next girl, but she takes her relationships so fast its no wonder she always scares off the guys.
by DancePartyChick200 on 11/3/2012 12:05:42 AM
She goes through men faster than some of my friends. I know she has said she was a virgin, but how can she be with so many guys and still be a virgin.
Is she or isnt she?
by fashionqn on 11/1/2012 5:21:53 PM
My mom says that every time Taylor Swift breaks up with someone, she writes a love song about them.

I cant believe this girl...breaking up with people and writing horrible songs about them? Who's the bad one, her or her ex? You dont see them whining about how hard love is, etc etc. Sorry, she just gets on my nerves, trying to be all innocent and stuff. Not working for me.

I wonder if she only dates to get a good song... hmm... i actually don't really feel that bad for her

WHO CARES?!?!?!?! I'm soooo sick of hearing about her, she only has one type of song: Oh my god a boy just broke up with me, its sad.

Productivity Trends in the Gold Mining Industry in Canada
AbstractThe purpose of this report is to uncover the factors behind what has been, on average, a strong productivity performance from the Canadian gold mining industry over the past four decades. It is found that real price movements have had a substantial impact on productivity growth in the gold mining industry in Canada. The real price of gold declined steadily throughout the 1990s, squeezing the profits of mines on sites of marginal quality and thereby leading to the closure of the least productive gold mines. This had the effect of increasing the average productivity of the overall industry. The report also finds evidence that the gold mining industry in Canada was not in good health towards the end of the 1970s, despite the record gold prices of this period. Real gold mining output decreased sharply and steadily throughout the 1960s and 1970s, despite massive capital accumulation. This situation was reversed in the 1980s, with new discoveries of gold, and strong productivity growth driven by technological and organizational improvements. As these observations suggest, the productivity performance of the Canadian gold mining industry has been markedly different from decade to decade. The 1960s and 1970s witnessed productivity stagnation followed by sharp declines, but the 1980s and 1990s saw gold mining productivity growth exceeding that at the total economy level by a wide margin. Overall, the productivity gains of the past two decades have more than offset the earlier poor performance, so that the average productivity record of the gold mining industry over the past four decades remains strong.

McNair, Robert Evander
"M" is for McNair, Robert Evander [1923-2007]. Attorney, legislator, governor. During World War II, McNair served 23 months in the Pacific theater. After the war, he graduated from USC and moved to Allendale—the hometown of his wife, Josephine. From 1951 until 1963 he represented Allendale County in the South Carolina House of Representatives. In 1962 he was elected lieutenant governor. When Governor Donald Russell resigned in April 1965, McNair became governor. He was elected to a full term in 1966. The McNair administration coincided with major civil rights initiatives and significant protests and demonstrations. Except for the tragedy at Orangeburg and the incident at Lamar, he saw the state peacefully through difficult times—and guided it through the first year of total desegregation of the public school system. After leaving the governorship in 1971, Robert Evander McNair never held any other public office.

Neat. Clean. Liked the scheduled security walk-through to inspect property. Video surveillance. The reason for the lower score on being greeted promptly was due to employee being out on scheduled security inspection. Sign noting this was on the door.Mark from Lindenhurst, IL

I love the overall experience of being an Uncle Bob client. The only way I would recommend to make the experience better would be to change the exit code requirement for leaving the compound. The requirement to resubmit the full code on leaving is a slight burden after a full day working in a storage locker. It would also seem to be a safety hazard for anyone needing to exit the compound in an expditious manner.Bruce from Hoffman Estates, IL

Initial Combination with Linagliptin and Metformin in Newly Diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes and Severe Hyperglycemia
- Thomas Haak
- … show all 1 hide
Making appropriate treatment decisions for patients newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and severe hyperglycemia (glycated hemoglobin [HbA1c] >10% or fasting plasma glucose ≥250 mg/dL) presents a formidable challenge to primary care physicians. Extreme defects in insulin secretion make it unlikely that these patients will achieve glycemic targets with metformin monotherapy. Additionally, uncontrolled hyperglycemia is associated with an increased risk of short-term acute complications, such as hyperosmolar coma, and long-term complications affecting the micro- and macrovasculature. Thus, severely hyperglycemic patients require prompt, intensive treatment to re-establish glycemic control. Current guidelines indicate that either initial insulin therapy or initial combination therapy with metformin plus non-insulin drug(s) are the treatments of choice for these challenging-to-treat patients. This mini-review examines the clinical evidence supporting these two treatment options, with particular reference to the findings of a phase 3 study of treatment with an initial combination of metformin plus the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor, linagliptin. Intensive insulin therapy can induce sustained euglycemia and improve beta-cell function in newly diagnosed patients. However, insulin use is associated with an increased risk of adverse events, such as hypoglycemia and weight gain. These potentially serious side effects cause concern among patients and physicians, and are a major barrier to initiating and maintaining adherence to insulin treatment. In the phase 3 study, open-label treatment of severely hyperglycemic patients (HbA1c ≥11.0%) with linagliptin plus metformin resulted in a mean change in HbA1c of −3.7% ± 1.7%. This combination therapy was generally well tolerated with most adverse events being of mild or moderate intensity; asymptomatic hypoglycemia was reported by just 1 of 66 (1.5%) patients. These findings provide evidence in support of linagliptin plus metformin as a well-tolerated and effective treatment alternative to insulin for new-onset patients with T2DM and severe hyperglycemia.

I'm assuming many of you know that a fan of the Bills who opted into their text messaging alert program has filed a class action suit. 13 text messages was just too much. 10? Perfectly acceptable. Thirteen is life altering it seems.
Now I won't argue the legality of the claim, etc. mainly because it seems like the guy "won." However, as a bit of a legal nerd, I find myself in the strange position of not caring so much about the legal issues here. The human issue seems more compelling. And my human nature makes me believe that a few extra text messages for an opt in service for a sports team you'd like to follow should be filed under "not worth a lawsuit."
I just read an article from The Buffalo News that not only suggests that this suit will be settled (somewhat) in the gentleman's favor, but that I will be in an even more precarious position than my internal debate over "Law vs. Humanity." I, like many of you I'm sure, opted into the service during that time frame. In other words, if you read the article, I might be getting a debit card to the Bills store.
Sounds like a dream come true but I'm torn on this. I love me some Bills gear and I already spend a lot of money on the team. I could view this as a coupon of sorts.
But my gut is telling me that I don't really want any part of this. I wholeheartedly believe that this was frivolous and while I know the Bills can "take the hit" on my behalf (and I don't make much money) right is right and wrong is wrong. My plans so far include the possibilities of:
-Burning/destroying my card. YouTube and social media might be a part of this.
-Using the card as a souvenir itself. When I'm 90 I can look at it and say how great it was to be be a Bills fan for so many decades, including the rough times like playoff droughts and lawsuits
-Attending a game, buying some small items (as many as possible, like keychains or something) before the game at the store and handing them out to any kids that I see
Now a disclaimer, I was a little judgmental above, you may not agree with my definitions of "right" or "wrong" and might have zero issue with spending your card on gear. I'm perfectly OK with that. It's just not my viewpoint.

Keeping an incredibly positive outlook is one of the absolute essentials for making it in the startup world and launching your own business. There are only a few other character traits that are essential to one's success.
You have to learn to believe in the impossible. Or rather, you must be capable of believing in the unseen, the places that have yet to be created and the realities that yet to be seriously entertained (or at least by the masses).
And, you must be serious about your attempts at solving the impossible as many can believe but very few will actually ever do.

Charlene from Las Vegas, NV– Verified Buyer
I looked for a black cabinet to hold a large TV and found this one. It was a great buy and easy to put together as all the parts were well marked. It took one person about 2 hours to assemble. We liked the glass doors and ease of access in the middle for components. Good value for the price. It arrived quickly and well packaged. I would advise being at home to receive it since it is heavy.

Mass. teacher suspended for photos feels supported
- Associated Press
- February 13, 2014 - 5:20 PM
FITCHBURG, Mass. — A teacher's aide at a Massachusetts elementary school suspended over racy modeling photos says she has received support from co-workers since returning to school.
MassLive.com reported (http://bit.ly/1bt7ip9) that 23-year-old Kaitlin Pearson returned to work late last month after she was put on paid leave for more than 10 days after someone anonymously sent modeling photos to a local newspaper as well as the South Street Elementary School.
Pearson says she is upset that the matter was made public, but is happy to be back at work.
She has appeared in multiple amateur photo shoots, but fears that the public frenzy will hurt her future in modeling. She says her ideal job is to work as a promotional and trade show model for an energy drink company.

1D4 9pts(outer) are 3 points in each of 3 rows
I see. My point is that the 5DIII has a cross-type AF point above the upper-most, center, selectable AF point in 9pt mode (and one below the lower-most, center, selectable AF point). Why not use these in the 9pt mode instead of ones closer to the center? You'd get more AF spread... and like I said, photographers are typically talking about more AF point spread, not less.
Enabling those (to create a diamond like spread of selectable AF points) gets you one step closer to an area of the frame that has no AF points at all. I don't really understand decisions such as these. Maybe I'm missing something.
Either way, customizability would solve issues like this in one gigantic sweep.

Tuesday With high pressure continuing to dominate the United Kingdom, expect a sunny and warm day across much of the country again today. Some fog patches will be around in the morning, some locally dense across East Anglia, the East Midlands, southern parts of England up into north east England. Temperatures rising to well above normal for the end of March with maximums of 16 to 20 Celsius.
Tuesday night All parts of the country will have a fine, pleasant evening with some early sunshine. With clear skies and light winds it will turn colder with some fog patches and frost developing across central and eastern parts of England. There also be some pockets of frost and freezing fog. Expect minimum temperatures of 0 to 6 Celsius.
Wednesday Once morning fog patches clear eastern, central and southern parts of England, most parts of the United Kingdom should have another fine, summer like day with long spells of warm sunshine. In the evening and night we may see more cloud coming in across Scotland and northern parts of England. Dry to the south with well broken cloud. Another very mild afternoon with maximum temperatures of 15 to 21 Celsius.
Thursday The far northwest of Scotland may see some patchy rain. A windier day to come, especially across the north. The rest of the country is set to remain fine and dry with very warm temperatures once again. Good spells of sunshine are forecast, although we may see more cloud from northwest England up through Scotland and Northern Ireland. Not as chilly overnight tonight with the possibility of more cloud across much of the country. Look for top temperatures in a range of 15 to 20 Celsius.

A pope, a rabbi and a sheikh
Pope Francis waves as he delivers first "Urbi et Orbi"..
(photo credit:REUTERS)
VATICAN CITY – In the nearly 15 months since he was anointed as pontiff, Pope Francis has become one of the most influential and recognizable people on the planet by saying and doing things that would have been unimaginable from his predecessors.Now, on his trip to Israel, he will travel in the footsteps of recent predecessors.The Argentinean, who became the first non-European pope of the modern era when he was elected last March, broke with tradition from his first appearance, when he did not bless the throngs gathered in St. Peter's Square but rather asked them to bless him.Since then, he turned heads with comments on homosexuality – "Who am I to judge?" he famously asked – blasting capitalism and what he called the "idolatry of money," and brushing aside adulation from admirers, saying, "The pope is a man who laughs, cries, sleeps well and has friends; a normal person." He has mounted a dramatic reform of the Vatican bureaucracy and said that the church bears responsibility for the sex scandals that have plagued it, all while turning his back on the pomp and circumstance that traditionally come with being the leader of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics."Pope Francis has broken new ground at every turn, but this time around he will do something new: build on progress made by his predecessors," said Father Alistair Sear, a retired London-based church historian.Relations between Israel and the Holy See have come a long way since Paul VI became the first pontiff to visit Jerusalem little more than 50 years ago.Paul's visit lasted half a day, and it came at a time when the Vatican had yet to recognize Israel as a sovereign state. Since the, every pontiff – with the exception of John Paul I, who was pope for just 33 days – has visited the country, and ties between Israel and the Vatican have grown stronger with each pontificate.It will be the task of Francis to build on that."It's an unusual role for him to follow a path set by previous popes, but he will obviously do it his own way," said Paolo Rodari, Vatican correspondent for the Italian daily La Repubblica."He hasn't taken a wrong step so far [in his papacy] and it's going to be interesting to see what he does on this trip."Francis says he is making the trip as a pilgrim, not as a head of state or a religious leader. He will leave the bullet proof "pope mobile" behind and will eschew many security measures other leaders implement when traveling abroad. For the first time ever, the papal entourage will include leaders from other faiths: Rabbi Abraham Skorka and Muslim Sheikh Omar Abboud – both old friends of the pontiff, from his home city of Buenos Aires – something that is being cast as a powerful signal of interfaith outreach and respect."A pope, a rabbi and a sheikh… it sounds like the start of a bad joke," said Sear. "But the funny part to me is that he is isn't really raising any eyebrows. People have learned to expect the unexpected with this pope."Improving interfaith dialogue is the centerpiece of the trip – not only with Jews and Muslims, but most important from the Vatican's point of view, with Orthodox Christians. According to veteran Vatican reporter and commentator Robert Mickens, the joint prayer with Francis and Orthodox Archbishop Bartholomew I in Jerusalem's Church of the Holy Sepulchre on Sunday will be the main event."The wheels went into motion for this visit when Bartholomew invited Francis to commemorate the 1964 meeting between Paul VI and Orthodox Patriarch Athenagoras," Mickens said. "The rest fell into place after that."Is there a possibility the image of the pope could be hurt if progress is not made toward healing the nearly 1,000-year-old schism between Catholics and Orthodox Christians, or if the visit fails to build on previous ties between Jews and Catholics? Experts say the risks are minimal."There's always a chance something could be said that would make people look at Francis in a more negative light, but I would have to say it's unlikely," Mickens said. "He's become a beloved figure around the world, and I doubt anything's going to change that."

Sleep Apnea
By Leslie Petrovski
When the British author Anthony Burgess wrote, "Laugh and the world laughs with you; snore and you sleep alone," he struck a sympathetic chord with fellow snorers. But sawing logs is more than just a social faux pas if you're one of the 12 million Americans with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
If you suffer from OSA, you may not even be consciously aware of your many—up to 300 per night—"apnea" episodes. During those episodes, OSA sufferers actually stop breathing for a minute or more. Apnea occurs when the soft tissues in the rear of the throat relax and cut off airflow. OSA is linked to heart disease, depression, and high blood pressure, but given the number of effective therapies, the condition is nothing to lose sleep over. Conventional treatment usually begins with the continuous positive airway pressure machine (CPAP), a device that blows air into the nose through a face mask. When used correctly, the CPAP typically reduces apnea episodes, but not everyone can tolerate the noise and the discomfort of sleeping with the machine.
John Dye, ND, chairman of the Department of Mind-Body Medicine at Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, looks at the problem differently. "We treat the whole person to reduce the symptoms," Dye explains. Dye looks for root causes, focusing on such areas as diet, inflammation, possible allergies, and cardiovascular profile.
To take a holistic approach to the problem, start by taking a hard look at your lifestyle choices: Stop smoking, limit alcohol consumption, and lose weight if you're carrying a few too many pounds. And don't sleep on your back. All of these factors can worsen OSA.
Still not sleeping soundly? Try Dye's regimen:
• Improve your diet by adding more fiber, eating colorful and nutrient-dense foods, and cutting back on red meat and sugar.
• Take 2 to 3 grams per day of krill oil capsules, a possible cholesterol fighter derived from tiny Antarctic crustaceans.
• Add anti-inflammatory herbs such as turmeric (Curcuma longa) and ginger (Zingiber officinale)—1,500 to 2,000 mg of each daily.
• Try 400 mg of vitamin E once or twice a day, plus 500 mg vitamin C two to three times a day.
• Practice playing the didgeridoo. In a study in the British Medical Journal, researchers discovered that daily practice on this indigenous Australian wind instrument reduces apnea, daytime sleepiness, and sleep disturbance for bed partners.
