Buddy Roemer Throws Hat Into the Ring As Americans Elect Candidate
Buddy Roemer, a longshot candidate for the 2012 Republican Presidential nominee, has decided to switch his campaign to the Americans Elect nomination.
In a statement from his campaign reprinted in Slate, Roemer, who has been shut out of Republican debates because he hasn't gained at least two percent of the public support in the polls, said that he was hoping to become the Americans Elect nomination as a Republican, but more so as a proud American.
"Our country is on the wrong track and Americans are in search of real leadership. Leadership that isn't predetermined by lobbyists, political parties, or Wall Street executives, but leadership that is free to do what is right for the citizens of our great nation," he said in the statement.
The Americans Elect nomination was created in order to establish a non-partisan presidential ticket, according to a report from the Huffington Post. Since the former Louisiana governor and ex-Congressman hasn't gained much traction in the Republican race, however, Roemer probably won't pick up much speed as a third party candidate.
Roemer's campaign also struggles with financing, partly because he's announced he won't accept single donations totaling more than $100. He told the New York Times he decided on that number because he figured an average citizen could afford it, and he wants to eradicate corruption and big spending from the campaign trail.

From award-winning director Michael Apted, MARRIED IN AMERICA 2 is the second film in an ongoing documentary about the challenges of marriage in the 21st century. In 2001, Apted shot the first installment, which featured nine very different soon-to-be-married couples discussing how they met, their views on sex, divorce, children, and their dreams for the future. Drawing on his experience directing the 7UP films that have tracked a group of British people over 42 years ("Cinema's longest-running and most fascinating experiment!" – The New York Times) Apted sought a cross-section of American marriages to reflect the changing nature of the institution: women making more money than their husbands, divorced people re-marrying and blending their families, an increase in interfaith and bi-racial couples, and the controversial brave new world of same-sex marriage.
Five years after the first film, Apted revisits the nine couples to find out how they have coped with the twists and turns of married life: the arrival of children, job changes, the need to move, income disparity, and how to find the time for intimacy when both partners are working flat out.
Heartfelt and riveting MARRIED IN AMERICA 2 candidly lifts the veil on the institution of marriage and what compels people to tie the knot and stay together.

Armstrong to race against middle-aged swimmers
Lance Armstrong's return to competitive sport this weekend will be against veteran swimmers, a Texas newspaper reported.
Most competitors in the US Masters Swimming event entered by Armstrong will be older than the 41-year-old cyclist, the Austin American-Statesman said.
Armstrong is banned for life from all competitions that adhere to world anti-doping codes, but is allowed to take part in the low-profile Austin swimming event.
US Masters Swimming executive director Rob Butcher said nobody had raised formal objections to Armstrong competing.
Butcher added: "The purpose of our organisation is to encourage adults to swim."

GREENBRIER CO. W.V. (WVVA)--- Citizens express concerns as voting day approaches over a proposed tax.
Part of the proposed Greenbrier county fire levy includes creating a new position called the "fire coordinator" to aid the county's fifteen departments.
Some people question the salary that person will be paid.
It will be staffed by an experienced firefighter, who will be interviewed and recommended by the fireman's association, then approved by the Greenbrier County commission.
Firefighters say the fire coordinator is needed.
The coordinator will be managing the levy funds and distributing them fairly, helping departments keep accurate records and make group purchases, as well as going out in the field to work a scene as needed.

Gov. Mike Pence submitted an application to expand the six-year-old Healthy Indiana Plan with Sylvia Burwell, Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.
"The private health insurance experience provides an alternative to traditional Medicaid and promotes consumerism by requiring members to make contributions into their accounts," reads a portion of the executive summary of the waiver application.
The HIP stands in stark contrast to the Affordable Care Act. Passed in 2010, "Obamacare" was the most significant overhaul of the country's health care system in half a century. Pence is no fan; and he's not alone in his opposition.
"I have long advocated for the repeal of Obamacare, but any sensible repeal must be accompanied by market-based reforms and a flexible block grant program for states to administer Medicaid as they see fit," Pence said.
A myriad of troubles have accompanied the ACA's implementation — from plan cancellations for some, to website failures, to the loss of full-time employment for others. Many of the program's key features are still finding their footing. However, instead of coming up with an alternative proposal of their own — besides the previous status quo — the GOP majority in the House of Representatives has become "the party of no."
"While Democrats are struggling with whether to embrace the law or push for changes, Republicans are reminding voters that since they took control of the House in 2011, they've voted 54 times to undo, revamp or tweak the law," according to a March 21 report in The Washington Post by Ed O'Keefe.
Give Pence this much: He, at least, has proposed an alternative. Pence apparently desires a chance at the GOP presidential nomination. This issue is custom-built to boost bona fides with fellow Republicans: Consumers pony up for savings accounts, states are given greater autonomy, private insurance companies are paid handsomely in the form of high deductibles, and America can continue being one of the only developed nations in the world without universal health care.
If Pence can claim victory on this issue, expect his national profile within the party to rise briskly.
THE ISSUE Gov. Mike Pence seeks expansion of Healthy Indiana Plan OUR VIEW If he can claim victory on this issue, expect his national profile within the party to rise briskly.

AFLOAT: Schools row to titles at inaugural championships
6:30pm Thursday 17th July 2014 in Sport By Emma Stevenson, Afloat
THE Dorset Schools Gig Rowing Championships took place at Weymouth Rowing Club.
The event, the first of its kind to take place, was for Year Nine students.
During the last two months, more than 50 pupils have been trained to row and the culmination of that tutoring was the championship itself.
Wey Valley, Budmouth, All Saints, Thomas Hardye, IPACA, Beaminster, Colfox and St Osmund's were the eight teams present at the event.
The teams were split into heats of five with the two top in each making the final and others in going through to the Plate. There were girls' and boys' events as well as a mixed team category.
Budmouth beat off stiff competition to take the under-14 boys' prize, while in the girls' class, it was Wey Valley who won the trophy in style.
The overall winner of the mixed competition was Thomas Hardye.
Pam Govier, of the Wey Valley School, said: "It was amazing to watch the teams race on the water, especially with the action being so close.
"Weymouth Rowing Club put on a fantastic event and are to be congratulated.
"The competitors and spectators also much appreciated the refreshments which the club provided."

Reviews by jackorain:
3.73/5 rDev +19.9%
A- pours a cloudy, dingy straw color. Very little head forms, maybe a quarter inch. This falls quickly to a clumpy, thin coat.
S-Earthy hops, biscuit malts and caramel malts. Clearly, this has not bee heavily dry hopped.
T-Initially, earthy hops hit hard. Some floral and herbal notes are here as well. This is followed by a big malty backbone, which is followed by a onslaught of bitterness. The finish is earthy hop bitterness coupled with a slight acidity. The bitterness does not linger too long.
M-Firm, medium body with nice mouth coating fell to it. The carbonation is medium to low, befitting the style.
D-Drinkability is pretty good, I could easily have a few of these.
Overall, this is much better than I thought given that it is an English IPA combined with its average rating. The bitterness is quite high even though the hop and malt profiles are distinctly English. I say nice job Sand Creek.

An extra in a trade. A serviceable IPA. Mild pleasant hop aromas. A medium yellow colour, with lots of foamy creamy head. Medium mouthfeel. Good drinkability,decent caramel malts, and being an English style not in-you-face bitterness, rather understated. WOrth a try.

Lilja's Argosy IPA pours a slightly hazy orange-amber robe beneath a thin head of creamy off-white that holds fairly well and leaves rings of splashy and spotty lace at the outset of the glass. Grainy, husky, biscuity and lightly caramel-accented malt greets you in the nose along with some spicy hops and a mild touch of yeasty fruitiness.
The body is medium with a dextrinous edge, and it flows smoothly across the palate with a moderate, very-fine bubbled natural carbonation.
Initially malty in the flavor, the hops pick up mid-palate. It's biscuity, with a toasty, bready, charamelish character; but not really "sweet". The hops are spicy, grassy, and subtly floral. Hints of citrusy appear in the finish, but that's probably due to a bit of tartness from the low pH of the yeast. The bitterness is solid, and resigned to balance, leaving it to finish dry and smooth with a smear of dextrinous maltiness and a sprinkling of grassy, floral, and spicy hops.
Nicely done, the Argosy IPA offers a good balance in what would be an otherwise overly malty ale. As for the IPA designation, it definitely falls in the English vein with a restrained bitterness, and reigned in hop flavors and aroma - but there is some strength to it. Enjoyable!

12oz single, taken from the fridge of a friend, purchased at Riley's...I am assuming this was an attempt at an english IPA based on the taste and the name
appearance: pours into a dotty's pint glass...pale golden body, very clear, foamy white head with decent retention
smell: not much of anything in the way of a hop punch, mostly vegetal, toasted malt, caramel
taste: Not much better...apple sweetness comes through but still pretty empty in the hops department...What little hopping there is comes through in the way of pine and provides a light bitterness...toatsed malt is the dominant flavor with some caramel, a slight nuttyness, and a mild sweetness
mouthfeel: medium-light body
drinkability: easy

I can see where they're going with this beer. It reminds me a touch of Brooklyn EIPA, but the body is too thin and there isn't enough malt character. The hops do bring a nice earthy, perfumed mix of grapefruit and lemon peel. There's a hint of biscuity malt, but this is watery compared to most IPAs. Again, like the pale ale, this needs more oomph. I don't like overly thick beers, but this is just too thin

Nice copper color with average head, but it was a little cloudy with some chunky sediment even with a gentle pour. No indication on the bottle that it's unfiltered. Aroma was appropriate for the style - hoppy, not much malt. Taste was hoppy like an IPA should be, but a little watery for my taste. Pretty typical of an English IPA. A little weak on the carbonation. Not a beer I'd run out and buy again, so I have to give it a lower score on drinkability.

(A) Pours a light yellow orange color with and ample, frothy white head. Leaves a good amount of lacing.
(S) Some grapefruit and decent amount of orange and citrus. Pale malt. Some sugars.
(T) Has a bit of a dank flavor to it. Like wet, old hops. Tastes like there was a fair amount of simcoe used in this one. It's got a fair amount of citrus rind to it. Has some cereal aspect to the malt base. Has a really funky aftertaste that isn't all too pleasant.
(M) Oily and crisp. Medium to light body.
(O) I'm usually a fan of Sand Creek's products and the other Lilja's stuff that I've had have been pretty decent, but this one is kind of a let down. I've had some English IPAs before, and prefer American, but this one just didn't really do much for the style.

Picked this as part of a mixed 6-er in Fayetteville, AR
Pours an effervescent gold with 3 fingers of cream colored head. Great lacing & above average head retention
S: Breadyness & grassy hops, jammy notes
T: Follows the nose, some leafy hops & apricots up front. Jammy notes plus leafy & woody hops as this warms. Finishes with jammyness, plus dryness with woody & leafy hops
MF: Medium bodied, creamy carbonation, okay balance
Much like other offerings from these guys, just a run of the mill example of the style, nothing to see here. Drinks okay, just not digging the hop profile at all, which makes it somewhat a slog to finish

12 oz bottle into a tulip glass.
Pours hazed golden copper, with lots of suspended oils very visible, and topped with a finger of tight eggshell-white head. This retains with a ¼ finger of froth, which maintains a good richness to it and leaves a solid latticework of thick lacing behind. The aroma is grassyl, green, and earthy overall, with grapefruit accents giving the nose some bitterness while sweet grains pulling up the rear.
The taste is bitter with grapefruit and citrus rind, with that toasted malt sweetness balancing out the back. This finishes with some leafy feeling earthiness and lingering dry spiciness. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, with a crisper feeling carbonation on top that then gives way to a good bit of oily slickness underneath. This is maybe a tad too thin on the swallow. Some gentle warmth hangs on the breath after each sip but that's about it as far as the ABV goes.
This was OK I guess. The hop profile came off as a little too one dimensional to me at times, with a bit more assertiveness to the bitterness probably would have been more welcome here. This did hide its ABV pretty darn well though, which at least helped keep things smooth on the palate for the most part. Decent but I probably wouldn't have another.

2.68/5 rDev -13.8%
A: Cadmium orange coloring with a good clarity reveals a medium dense effervesce rising at a rapid rate making the micro- yeast particles within swirling around in the glass like a wind tunnel. A rocky light beige head sits atop like a 2 finger high pile of shaving cream sticking tough to the glass walls with a well lasting retention.
S: Peppery flowers and pine first come to mind on the nose. Dried lemon meringue, fresh parsley with some cinnamon toast and cereal grains. Intriguing, not your typical ipa hopping. Spicy, fruity and flowery of light strength.
T: Toasted grains with a touch of peppery flowery hops. Things turn to dried citrus, fairly bitter with signs of pine and dried grapefruit. The hoppiness is pretty blunt, lacking the complexity found on the nose. Dried pine comes on strong for the finish along with a peppery fade. There are flashes of intermittent sweetness from the grain here and there in the beginning, but over there is a sour, almost acidic nature to the flavor. All and all the hops are blunt, kinda coarse and without much taste defining flavor, the malting is toasted and of medium base while the alcohol is quite noticeable.
M: medium by weight, dry, citrusy and peppery warming the inner cheeks along with some fore-mentioned alcohol presence. Some washiness comes from the mostly lasting head with every sip.
O: Overall a blunt ipa, but not necessarily a good thing. Dry, peppery with a focus on a knock out hop punch rather flavor, complexity and balance. A smack your tongue around hoppiness but ultimately doesn't taste all that good, and I do love my hops strong in my beer, this is just a wreck in composition. the hopping is totally off per english style.

Poured from a 12 ounce bottle into a pint glass. No freshness date to be found.
Appearance: One inch of foam on top of the hazy cider colored body. Good lacing and head retention.
Smell: Doesn't have the same kind of citrus hop aromas that most would normally expect an IPA to have. Rather flowery, like most heavily hopped European style beers.
Taste: Creamy mouthfeel, flowery hops, little yeast bite. This reminds me a lot of Bell's pale ale.

Immediately after pouring, I couldn't quite shake the feeling that this is really a mislabeled adjunct lager.
Color was the very light, clear bronze of an adjunct. The smell was minimal, very few hops noticable, coming across more sweet and grainy.
Taste was slightly better, but no real discernible malt characteristics and again came across as being unusually light and watery (akin to a high-end adjunct). Hops were present but underwhelming. Finish was smooth with very little of the bitterness or sharp citrus commonly found in ipas.
Overall a kinda disappointing outing, very drinkable but not possessing enough taste to really make it worthwhile.

Appearance is relatively bland for an EIPA. Coppery hue with no real head or lacing to note.
Smell and taste are decent but nothing special. Firm evergreen hop taste that hangs on the whole way though. That was really all that I picked up on this one. Sort of like an overhopped pilsner.
Mouthfeel is pretty decen actually. Some notalbe carbonation and oily feel.
Drinkability is ok.

Beautiful creamy, sticky head that sits upon a pale golden base.
Very watery, musty, and waxy...three characteristics which are bad enough individually but together make for a really weak beer.
The taste isn't much better...nothing off-putting but really nothing of note. Watery and plain, with a bit of stale bread. Normal mouthfeel, but this just isn't drinkable due to its overall lack of anything noteworthy.

Poured out a 12 oz. bottle into my pint glass as i have had this sitting in my fridge for about 2 months now. This beer pours a hazy medium golden color that burns into a lemon like yellow when held to the light. Has a nice big, fluffy white hear well over an inch thick when poured, settling to a good 2/3 inch with very nice lacing and then eventually settles to a good solid 1/4 inch with good retention. Aromas of earthy citrus hops along with a nice caramel and biscuit malt undertone. Very nice citrus hop bitterness flavor upfront, followed by a nice, slightly toasted, biscuit and caramel malt flavor along with a sort of grainy taste. Very well balanced, but the hops certainly dominate. This is very tasty. Has a nice full bodied and crisp, frothy mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. This really is a good beer, one the best English IPA's I have had in a long time. Spot on for the style I'd say. I would certainly drink this again.

Clear kind of an oragnish amberish color. Larger off white head, quality lacing. Smells fruity but weaker. A touch of some sweeter grain notes but more of a hoppy fruitiness. Very balanced taste. Slick smooth mouthfeel. Appropriate moderate liveliness. Some sweet caramel flavors early. More of a light earthy flavor in the middle. Herbal notes and fruity hop elements toward the back. Enjoyable, nothing mindblowing, but I think it's good for the style. Worth a buy.

Another unremarkable beer from an unremarkable brewery.
A: This has got to be one of the cheapest and generic looking beer labels I have ever seen. The beer pours a Bud Light yellow. A little cloudy. Head is actually nice and creamy. Lacing is present.
S/T: The aroma is very grainy and cheap. Slight fruityness in there. Taste is also pretty cheap. Pretty grainy with a hint of hops. Maybe some chlorine in there as well. Its not offensive at all, just very cheap. Not a lot there. Their Pale Ale was hoppier and more impressive than this.
M/D: Mouthfeel is pretty watery. Not bitter like an IPA should be. Not dry either. Drinks rather well, actually. Probably could slam a few of these down if I wanted, but with such better beer out there, why bother?.
If a macro-brewery made an IPA, this is exactly what it would taste like. Cheap on the hops and flavor, this is quite a forgettable beer. You probably won't even take notice of this beer to begin with due to the cheap label. Pass it up.

A=Hazy yellow orange with a strong white foamy head that laced the glass.
S=Butterscotch with no hop aroma.
T=Sweet, oxidized, and butterscotchy.
M=Feels right.
O=I vehemently would refuse a second one.
This beer is nothing like a good English IPA. The heavy diacetyl points to a fermentation problem. Lack of hop presence points to a recipe problem, and perhaps, an age issue. And the oxidized character, of course, points to poor storage and possibly poor packaging.
Nice label. I dig the mythology reference, and I really disliked this beer.

Clear pale gold. Bright white, extremely fine head settles to a mostly complete cap leaving some lacing.
Nose is a solid cookie-like malt base with some earthy, spicy hop. Not enough hop in my book for an IPA. It's simple, but nice.
Medium in the mouth. Nice solid malt is the star, with some hop bitterness kicking in on the mid-palate and hanging around on the surprisingly long finish. There's a bit of citric, spicy hop flavor, but it is definitely a minor player here. Again, it's pleasant, but doesn't say IPA to me.
Mouthfeel is fine, with a briskness to the carbonation that is accentuated by the mineral treatment. It's quite drinkable, but not very IPA.

Poured into a pint glass on 11/12/09
A - Ever-so-slightly cloudy yellow with ¼ inch head of white foam. Decent retention throughout. Solid & impressive lacing.
S - It smells of an American Adjunct Lager - thin & grainy. Hints of muddled & unfocused hops. Faint citrus presence as it warms.
T - There are no surprises here after what was put forward by the nose. The only real difference is that the hops come across as more murky, resembling rotten orange & lemon rind. Hints of pine & a dry toastiness.
M - Moderately light body with ample carbonation. There is a skeevy bitterness that lingers a few moments too long.
D - This may as well be a "hoppy" American Adjunct Lager; in the confines of such a style it might be considered almost decent. As an English IPA however, this is pretty much awful. I simply cannot recommend this one.

Drivers are being urged to take care tonight as snow is forecast, particularly in southern parts of the county.
Road conditions may become challenging as biting Atlantic winds bring cold rain, likely turning to snow overnight. The Met Office has issued an amber alert, forecasting up to 10cm of snow on high ground in southern parts.
Gritters are out this afternoon and will be treating around 1,700 miles of the precautionary salting network across the county, with further treatments through the night as required.
– Devon County Council spokesman
We're advising travellers of possible disruption tomorrow morning and asking people to plan their journey accordingly. Please keep an eye on the forecast, be alert to the conditions and allow extra time for your journey.

Dougherty County -- Iris Allison Hawthorne has lived in her Dougherty County home for almost two decades. "I've been living here for 18 years and been through two floods. And the first flood took away everything," said Hawthorne.
But now this business owner is flooded with bills. "It seems like every year my taxes are constantly going up higher and higher and the money is not coming in," said Hawthorne.
A property tax amendment that would have eliminated the car tag tax, and capped how high local governments can assess the values of businesses and homes did not pass during the final hours of state legislation Friday.
"I think they did a great job by doing that and I applaud everyone who voted. We need to collect our local taxes based on what we need. If we want to cut the milage rate than we can do that. Whatever we have to do to pay the bills, we can do that. We don't need to go through Atlanta for that," said Dougherty County Commissioner District 6, Jack Stone.
"If you are having to pay less and are able to keep more that matters. And clearly I think where it is prudent to do so, we should try and take any burden off our citizens," said Dougherty County Commissioner District 2, John Hayes.
"I want to know if we are going to do that will it benefit the way we are living here. Atlanta is not in Albany. You can not run Albany from Atlanta, because what is going on in Atlanta is not going on here," said Hawthorne.
For now Georgians can only hope to get relief from taxes in cuts made from their local government.
A resolution for a state constitutional amendment that would allow regions to vote themselves an extra one-cent sales tax to pay for transportation projects also did not pass.

A young designer and fine artist, Jorge Oswaldo's unique works are largely influenced by the logos of mega corporations. He utilizes techniques found in the design and commercial world by working with automotive car paint, vinyl and silk-screens. Through the use of these commercial grade mediums, Oswaldo solicits the viewer's attention just as a billboard or storefront signage might do.
From his early vinyl pieces to his newly painted corporate portrait series, Oswaldo combines handcrafted, super flat surfaces with conceptual ideas about branding and identity. By removing corporate logos from their original settings, and applying them in a different context, Oswaldo re-contextualizes their original meaning within a hypermodern framework. It is at this delicate intersection, where just enough design information is revealed and concealed, that his works of art illuminate just how these colossal symbols are so powerfully imbedded in our visual database.
Although the work initially appears to be abstract in nature, there is a comforting familiarity to the discovery of each logo. Using bright colors as a visual lure, the viewer is encouraged to re-associate themselves to each piece with the brands that are familiar to them, ultimately relating to the artwork on a uniquely personal level. Viewers are left questioning whether they are attracted to the artist as a brand or the brands that are represented within the artwork.
Oswaldo takes visual cues from artists such as Kenneth Noland, Barnett Newman, Morris Louis and Frank Stella. He is deeply inspired by pattern makers such as Marimekko, Michael Lin, and Eley Kishimoto. Jorge Oswaldo presently splits his time as an artist and as a full-time graphic designer for Stüssy, Inc. in which he produces graphics and multimedia content.

Hi guys I've been watching much of the comedy central roast of Pamela Anderson and must say it is by far the best roast that I have seen.
There are actually A-list comedians there and people are getting made fun of left and right. I think the thing that makes it so funny in my opinion is because so many of the jokes are sex jokes. Tommy Lee, Courtney Love, Pam Anderson, and Andy Dick are all getting ripped on left and right.
I highly recommend watching it... it's pretty funny and for the guys out there Pam's nipps are totally showing through her blouse.

I watched the whole thing earlier. I've only watched one other roast before and it wasn't that good, but this one was awesome. lol

"It is often said, mainly by the "no-contests", that although there is no positive evidence for the existence of God, nor is there evidence against his existence. So it is best to keep an open mind and be agnostic. At first sight that seems an unassailable position, at least in the weak sense of Pascal's wager. But on second thought it seems a cop-out, because the same could be said of Father Christmas and tooth fairies. There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies?"
Richard Dawkins
"Out of all of the sects in the world, we notice an uncanny coincidence: the overwhelming majority just happen to choose the one that their parents belong to. Not the sect that has the best evidence in its favour, the best miracles, the best moral code, the best cathedral, the best stained glass, the best music: when it comes to choosing from the smorgasbord of available religions, their potential virtues seem to count for nothing, compared to the matter of heredity. This is an unmistakable fact; nobody could seriously deny it. Yet people with full knowledge of the arbitrary nature of this heredity, somehow manage to go on believing in their religion, often with such fanaticism that they are prepared to murder people who follow a different one."

OK so some of you know that I grew up on a farm and that my degree is agriculture based. That being said I have spent a lot of time educating people about normal and routine animal handeling and procedures. I have also spent a few years being a vegetarian, which I no longer am. I think PETA once in a while has a good point to bring awarness to animal issues... the Seabord Farm undercover video, although it still wasn't all correct information. But at the same time I do believe that they can take an issue in a completly wrong direction... especially with the kosher beef slaughter plant in Iowa. For me I agree with most small animal issues but can't agree with their views on large animal issues.Originally Posted by BG5150
As for the whole vegetarian issue, well I eat meat and I also have friends and family who are vegans, so really I think it's a personal decision. Depending on the issue and amount of research PETA does and the spin... well they are a double edges sword in my opinion.

Those pics above is how she REALLY looks. On tv she spent 2 hours before hand getting done up by professionals-which could make any decent look woman look amazing. The roast was great, though. I thought lisa lampenali was funny-along with jimmy kimmel. I can't beleive lampenali got away with her comments about the 2 black guys, "anymore here and there would be a shooting, ok enough about the colored people".

Windows Phone 8 watch
Disclaimer: I am a huge Apple fan, but also enjoy what Google and Microsoft are doing. Also, I don't have a smartphone, but have an iPad for college and two iPhones in the family (parents).
While watching the Top Shelf episode 2 I thought : "Hey, it would be awesome if Microsoft made a smartwatch."
I feel that the Metro/Modern interface fits the square screen of the watch the best.
Here is how I think it could be:
The watch could have the watch face as the home screen, to which the watch defaults after a period of inactivity or alike 3 seconds after the noticifation alert. if you swipe left (on the right side of the main screen) you get to the apps. There can be a phone app with a dialer once you click on it. One the dial screen there can be a contacts button, and recents button. On the other hand though, maybe there should be no dialer, just recent so you can call them back (to keep it simple and not replace a phone).
There can also be a texts app with a list of recent conversations and a speech to text reply functionality. Also maybe a twitter and facebook app where you can post speech to text updates with location (if desired). Maybe a notes, and a reminders app (now that would be cool that i think of it ! ). I suppose developers can make all sorts of apps work with the watch. Tiles can be a full sized square or 4 small squares
More importantly, if you swipe to the right (on the left screen of the main screen) there will be a notification center (oh my gosh, a NC for WP8!!!) there will be 4 small squares with notification badges. Or just a list of app names with a number of notifications next to them. Something like that. I also have an idea for a NC for the phones (even if you say : "NO WP8 has live tiles" , I believe there is still need for a proper NC)
Also, if you swipe down on the main screen, phone setting are brought up, like brightness, volume, some toggles for wifi, bluetooth, airplane mode, or whatever else might come in handy.
Swiping up on the main screen brings up watch settings, like color of live tiles, brightness, whatever have you.
Tapping on the main screen brings up date (if not incorporated into the watchface) and tapping once more bring up weather.
Once you inside any app or anything but the main screen the swipes do not do anything but that apps functions. Like you could swipe left and right, up and down in twitter app and it only shows twitter stuff. Now onto the last three controls.
There can be three buttons like on WP phones: the home button (back to the watchface), the back button (back to the apps list or back to the main settings list and such) and search button (for Bing (lol Bing) search). For Bing search, it would be awesome if it worked like Siri (I am not sure if WP has an equivalent like Google does), and also had that Music search function of WP8 search (which I tested and it's great)
Whoa this is a big list, and might seem overwhelming, but to me it seems that one could get anywhere in two-three swipes or even one. Quick settings -- swipe down and tap the setting tile. Boom. Notifications -- swipe right. Boom. (can also launch the app on phone with one click). Double boom. Facebook or Twitter or Email or Notes -- swipe to the left, tap to launch and boom, ready to dictate. Date, weather -- tap once and twice accordingly.
So yeah, I am excited, even though I am an Apple fan and hope they get there first :p. But I feel that the Microsoft's WP8 design language and UX of flow between screens works better for the watch (not everything).
Please let me know what you think. I would love it if someone made the mockups. It would not be hard for me to do in Photoshop, but would take lots of time which I don't have as a student :). This post cost me 45 minutes. Damn.

altering jdoc "head" content
Doing a site in joomla and not wanting/needing mootools on the front end. Found a solution to remove it, including jquery BUT when I include the head, there is a script tag getting put in that has a function keepAlive() in it. This is causing an error on my page. Is there some sort of parameter I can set to keep this from showing up?
Current header looks like so:
PHP Code:
// no direct access
defined('_JEXEC') or die;
$app = JFactory::getApplication();
$templateDir = JURI::base() . 'templates/' . $app->getTemplate();
// Remove mootool sripts for guest, registered and admin
$headerstuff = $this->getHeadData();
$headerstuff['scripts'] = array('/templates/geo_public_index/javascripts/jquery-1.6.4.min.js'=>'text/javascript','/templates/geo_public_index/javascripts/jquery-ui-1.8.16.custom.min.js'=>'text/javascript','/templates/geo_public_index/javascripts/jquery.tools.min.js'=>'text/javascript','/templates/geo_public_index/javascripts/public_index.js'=>'text/javascript');
Thanks for any help.your brain reacts in the same way whether you are

Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal will both play men's quarterfinals on Day 9 of the Australian Open and appear to be on a collision course for the semifinals. Federer, who is the No. 3 seed, will play Juan Martin Del Porto, the tournament's No. 11 seed. Nadal will play No. 7 seed Tomas Berdych.
Federer comes into his match having not lost a single set during the first four rounds of the tournament. In nine total sets (he did not have to play his second-round match), Federer has lost more than four games in a set just twice and has only had to play one tiebreaker. Argentina's Del Porto has not had it much rougher, as he's won 12 straight sets after dropping the first set he played during the tournament. Since losing the first set to first-round opponent Adrian Mannarino, he has lost more than four games in a set just twice and has yet to play a tiebreaker.
Nadal has been his dominant self. He has won all 12 of the sets he's played and has not dropped more than four games in any set. Berdych has had to fight quite a bit more. He needed three tiebreakers to beat fourth-round opponent Nicolas Almagro 4-6, 7-6 (5), 7-6 (3), 7-6 (2) and six total tiebreakers during the 14 total sets he's played so far.
On the other side of the bracket, No. 1 seed Novak Djokovic and No. 4 seed Andy Murray are clearly the favorites to meet in the semifinals. Djokovic lost his first set of the tournament during his fourth-round match against Lleyton Hewitt but has been otherwise dominant. Other than that third-set loss, he has not dropped more than three games in any set during his first four matches. He'll face No. 5 seed David Ferrer on Day 10. Ferrer needed five sets to beat American Ryan Sweeting in the second round but has looked strong otherwise.
Murray seemingly gets a bit of a break, as he'll face No. 24 seed Kei Nishikori, who upset No. 6 seed Jo-Wielfried Tsonga in the fourth round. Nishikori needed five sets to pull out the victory and was on the court for about 3.5 hours. That was also Nishikori's second five-set match of the tournament and his only straight-set victory was in Round 1. Murray, on the other hand, has won 12 straight sets after losing the first set to his first-round opponent, American Ryan Harrison.

Sick of birth control's side-effects? Had enough with the bloating, lack of sexual appetite and risk of blood clot? Now there's birth control for men.
Safe, convenient, reversible contraception allows women and men worldwide to plan their families and ensure that they are ready to nurture and provide for the children they parent. So why are so few male contraceptive methods available?
The LA Times calls HHS proposal a 'sneak attack on family planning'; HPV vaccine banned from Catholic school in UK; HIV rates among drug users worldwide rises; Wall Street takes welfare it begrudges to women; Why the election matters for reproductive rights; Jesuit priest embraces social support programs to reduce abortion; Remote control male birth control.
Condoms, vasectomies and the withdrawal method are the only birth control options available to men. Why is there a glaring gap in male-controlled methods?
Due to traditional beliefs about male virility, many men worldwide shun vasectomy, reducing the efficacy of this reliable method of contraception.
As long as male reproductive health care is synonymous with just STD screening rather than comprehensive clinical services, it should come as no surprise that men shirk responsibility both in preventing pregnancy and in embracing fatherhood.
Studies are showing dramatic drops in sperm counts and rising rates of reproductive health problems for men throughout industrialized countries. Are environmental contaminants partially to blame?
In the Madhya Pradesh state of India, the administration is offering men guns in exchange for vasectomies. But in choosing to meet targets rather than educating communities, the administration is hardening stereotypes of manliness, placing communities in even more vulnerable positions.
Many men are perfectly competent at swallowing a pill every day on time, and plenty of them have partners who trust them to do it. So where's the male birth control pill?
If ever there was a perfect time for men to band together against a loss of fatherhood, that time is now — with their demand for access to emergency contraception. Those who feel that they have been hurt by abortion have more reason than anyone else to spread knowledge of Plan B and support its widespread provision to men.

A mechanism for booms and busts in housing prices
AbstractWe study an exchange economy with overlapping generations of consumers who derive utility from consuming a non-durable commodity and housing. A banking sector offers loans to finance housing. We provide a complete characterization of the equilibrium dynamics which alternates between an expansive regime where housing prices increase and banks expand loans and a contractive regime associated with decreasing housing values and shrinking credit volume. Regime switches occur even under small but persistent income changes giving rise to large and recurrent booms and busts in housing prices not reflecting changes in fundamentals. --
