In shock* news it has emerged that a group of sheep in America, out of their minds on Class A drugs, have been repeatedly blasted using controversial electric Taser stun weapons. Rather than some kind of degenerate drug-fuelled brouhaha indicative of the moral decline among America's sheep community, the ovine electro-stunning …
Poor sheep
Just test them on Meth/crack heads - who cares if they die? actually that would be one way to cure the scourge of drugs.
Wouldn't help
When the meth heads are gone the gov will just make something else illegal to keep the crime numbers up to justify the crackdowns.
Eventually energy drinks would get banned and we would be hearing about "Bull heads" getting tazed.

I take it you don't use any psychotropics, then? No alcohol, tea, coffee, nicotine? If your answer is that you don't, then you are justified in making that comment. If it isn't, you are a bigotted tw*t.
They wouldn't mind
Meth-heads wouldn't object to getting tased in return for free drugs. ("Psst, meth-head - want some free meth? All you have to do is take part in a little experiment...")
I wonder.....
If Andriods will be dreaming of these sheep then?
I really must apologise........
for the spelling?
Poor sheep...
Using sheep as a human model for such a physiological complex interaction? Yeah, I can't see any problems there.
If they believe it's safe, surely Taser employees should be testing them on one another?
PR causing animal cruelty
This experiment is nothing more than a puff PR piece. My problems with it
- I think I'm right in saying sheep react physiologically differently to opioids, and in fact to many medications. That's why they aren't lab animals (that and they are very tasty...)
- Did any of the sheep also suffer from diseases humans sufffer from - heart disease etc.
- More to the point, were any of the sheep in the poor condition (Hep C, HIV etc.) that a significantly higher number of drug addicts suffer from
- Why do smaller ones suffer from increased cardiovascular problems when being tasered? Does this mean we can taser everyone over 16 stone, or over 8 stone?
Total crock, whoever authorised this "experiment" needs to be tasered til they mess themselves. It's the only way they'll learn!
Can you find a better alternative?
>>If they believe it's safe, surely Taser employees should be testing them on one another?
Erm, perhaps Taser don't think it's safe to be dosing their employees up with meth? Just a thought...
There is no easy answer here. Meth addicts plus controlled experimental conditions don't really go together, so it's pretty hard to find a perfect way of testing the safety of this. We also know all the alternative methods of restraint have risks, though goodness knows how you'd come up with a trail to see what's safer.
However it's unlikely that because there aren't any safe methods of restraint that the drug-crazed-criminal population is suddenly going to start co-operating with the police. So you try and find the safest alternative, for both police and suspects, and do the best you can.
I don't quite get the kneejerk anti-taserism from my fellow commentards. Sure they can be used to torture suspects, but so can every other piece of equipment the police carry. It seems to me that there's been a lot of effort to try and ensure that when this happens, it's detectable. There are clearly times when a taser is a far superior (and probably the only) alternative to shooting someone - so what's not to like?
If there's a problem with police indiscriminate use of force, that's a police problem, not a taser problem.
You're right, and wrong
Wrong: Methamphetamine is not an opioid, it is an amphetamine (the clue is in the name). These work in a much simpler way. Opioids act differently between species, as they act upon the brain, and mammalian brains tend to vary substantially between species. Amphetamines are smaller molecules that act on the metabolism. There is much less variation in this between species, particularly mammals.
Right: Sheep are not the best model for human physiology. Pigs are better.
RE: PR causing animal cruelty
It was probably cheaper/easier to get away with the testing on sheep, Animal rights activists probably don't care so much about them (because they are so tasty) they'd probably have to get through a lot of legistlation and protestation if they wanted to use something closer the requirements.
It's probably a lot more dangerous to meth up a bunch of primates too.
I wouldn't really want to be trying to taser some tweaked out chimp.
From a scientific viewpoint I have no problem with testing on animals, what would you suggest?
Testing on humans? I suspect that there might be some legality issues there, even if there wasn't the expense could be horrendous when you have to pay out after the tests prove that there is a danger to using meth and being tasered.
You'd have a bunch of effectively executed humans and I expect theire families would quickly learn it pays to be litigious.
"addicts plus controlled experimental conditions don't really go together"
I don't know, it didn't stop the Gov and MOD working on this sort of thing at at Porton Down. Happily giving innocent soldiers doses of God-knows what then asking them to perform basic tasks, letting them go without telling them what they had been given or why.
All in the name of science. We don't need a reason, we just need answers, even if they are wrong ones, we just need them!
not banning testing, just banning crap tests
>From a scientific viewpoint I have no problem with testing on animals, what would you suggest?
For some reason I read methamphetamine as methadone; for that apologies- obviously the red mist had descended after reading about yet another crappy study.
I'm not against testing on animals, but at least make sure the experiments are well set up and actually necessary. Tasering a bunch of sheep means f**k all when we're already generating masses of data from the regular tasering of humans.
The taser needs to be subject to the same kind of trials as a pharmaceutical. We're now at the Phase IV or Post Marketing Surveillance Trial stage. Animal models mean nothing except as media friendly way for PR companies to distribute product friendly info.
Testing, testing
@Ed Blackshaw:
"Right: Sheep are not the best model for human physiology. Pigs are better."
But... I thought the police were supposed to be the ones on the trigger end of the taser?
Why not
Most of the human population of Britain is about to act like sheep so what's the difference?
@Ed Blackshaw
Well, they asked some mules but as expected they stubbornly refused. So they just told the sheep to get on with it, and they complied.
@AC 15th April 2010 08:25
"Using sheep as a human model for such a physiological complex interaction? Yeah, I can't see any problems there." I can't help wondering whether such things as wool might make a difference. I really don't know, but does anyone else? How would it be measured. Also, the amount and type of fat might be relevant (if I remember my biology from a few (ahem) years ago, mutton fat gives off much more energy than other domestic food animals. Again, I don't know if it make any difference, but does anyone else, especially the notoriously deceptive bastards at Taser?
"If they believe it's safe, surely Taser employees should be testing them on one another?". This sounds good, because the sick fucks who a) invented the Taser, and b) come up with experiments like this to justify their use are clearly all on mind-altering substances of some description, and are therefore much better models than sheep!
And another thing ...
... how do we know that sheep respond in the same way to these drugs as humans do? Is there any evidence (a quick Google search hasn't come up with anything)? I suspect they might just as well have given doses of the drugs to trees, and then Tasered them - the results would have been abou the same.
Old school methods
Yes, as we all saw at those protests in London last year. Well, those who survived, that is. Not everyone made it home to see themselves on telly...
Surely the safest weapon for the police to use is society's fear and respect of them, so that if a police officer tells you to stop, you stop. And I don't mean the fear they'll murder you.
This requires a title
Sounds like torture to me. RSPCA please.
Probs the most random article I've ever read on here lol
I thought
it would be illegal to torture sheep in the US. I also think that as the tasering of resistant, even slightly petulant suspects is so common place is the US, there would already be plenty of data regarding the effects of tasering on high/stoned/drunken humans.
Plenty of data
That's the problem - plenty of data regarding humans, which Taser International is seeking to contradict by frying a few sheep.
Illegal to torture sheep???
In the US, it's not even illegal to torture people.
An "Unlucky indeed" title would be a too telling revelation and thus does it morph into a question?
"(four unlucky control animals got none at all) " ......... :-) Thanks for that deep personal insight into the Lewis Page, and presumably by professional association, the El Reg Executive Staff Psyche?
highly unlikely to win
The study seems highly unlikely to win over the weapons' critics.... no error there. Anyone with any ounce of ethical probity would not treat another creature with such callous disregard. So they're sheep... that makes it ok to pump them full of drugs and then fry their brains? oh, hang on, reality check. That's what we do every day, isn't it... Ho hum.
Well considering...
... how the US government and the US police (and seemingly Taser international) consider the US population to be sheep, i guess they thought this study would be a direct comparison.
Pedantic comment.
Sheep come in flocks, not herds.
you're thinking of seagulls.
*brushes hair*
Title removed to due blasphemy
A variety of descriptions for the collective term used for sheep: drove, flock, herd, drift, fold, mob, pack, trip.
Although most of these are probably no longer used today I think a trip of sheep would be more apt for this story.
Must say i would rather be a sheep herder, than a sheep flocker (sounds too much like a Harry Enfield sketch, goddam muddyfunster!)
Hold on...
That's vicars isn't it? Oh "flocks", not "frocks"!
Thats vicars sorted but what do Priests come in?
Altar boys, surely!
Sheep On Drugs
Sheep On Drugs were responsible for some great tracks back in the early nineties. What was that one called? Their big hit? Oh, I'm going to be wondering about that all morning now.
Sheep On Drugs
Heh, can't believe I managed to read that whole article without Sheep On Drugs coming to mind. The two hits I remember were "Motorbike" and "15 Minutes of Fame".
Sheep on Drugs
Are you thinking of 15 Minutes of Fame?
Back on topic, these "tasings" are utterly vile.
You must mean
15 minutes of fame.
Acid test
Acid test was a fairly big hit for them, I think.
I particularly like the band logo of a sheep's scull over crossed syringes.
Animal welfare abuse
What a distasteful company, on so many levels. Welcome to the future.
baa ........... *KZZZRT*
"Herd of sheep, off tits on drugs, savagely Tased"
^^ this has my vote for Reg Headline of the Year
*This* is how to do it
I'm guessing this episode was not endorsed by PETA
I would suggest that more reliable testing results ...
could be generated by using the management of the taser company itself
Still couldn't apply the results to humans.
@ Ian Stephenson ...
... Well done. Have a beer on me!
Try testing them on the people using them...
One of the places meth addicts can be commonly found are meth labs. They are not the kind of places you want a stray electrical discharge (or so CSI tells me)
or is the telly lying to me yet again?
I would expect that a higher death rate among junkies would actually be the result of their deteriorated physical condition caused by long term drug abuse rather than just 'being high'.
So it's essentially a marketting/coverup excercise for Taser/The Police force that means absolutely nothing.
El Reg misses pun opportunity!

What are the pros? doesn't quit
What are the cons? no dislikes
This chard just keeps going and going and going. The leaves are smooth and tender. The leaves remain tender even with heat and large leaves are still tender.
I planted this chard in a location that I didn't expect it to do as well as it did but with a top dressing of compost every month or so, it has continued to produce for nearly a year here in San Diego. I even tried to thin it out a bit and it just kept going and going and going.
Great raw with other greens and/or lettuces, great in smoothies, and great cooked alone or with a few bitter greens.
A great green to keep in the garden!
Would you recommend this product to a friend?

This also worked for me, but even easier. I simply moved the "old" files to the new "mymachine2" folder (system required that I authenticate) and everything worked fine. I am now accessing and updating the old backups as if nothing ever happened....

Peter Graves' career was more like three careers. At least. He was Mission: Impossible's pre-Tom Cruise leading agent, Jim Phelps. He was Airplane's Turkish prison-curious pilot, Capt. Oveur. He was the Emmy-winning host of Biography.
The silver-haired star who lent a steadiness and voice of authority to 60 years' worth of TV and film was found dead today of apparently natural causes in his Los Angeles-area home. He was 83.
For all his work—Graves' credits range from the Billy Wilder WWII classic Stalag 17 to bits on House and American Dad—the actor may be best remembered for listening very carefully to the following taped greeting: "Good morning, Mr. Phelps."
Or, then again, maybe he's best remembered for interrogating young Joey (Rossie Harris) from the cockpit: "Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?"
And it's possible he's best remembered for helping tell the stories of dozens and dozens, both the famous and the infamous.
Graves intercepted self-destructing tape messages on TV's M:I from 1967-1973, and again from 1988-1990, in the short-lived redo. He was not the franchise's original leading man—Steven Hill, later of Law & Order, was—but until the Cruise movie franchise, he was its signature star. Graves never appeared in one of the Cruise movies; Jon Voight played a treacherous Phelps in the first 1996 big-screen adventure.
Airplane! made Graves a new comedy star at middle age in 1980. He returned to Capt. Oveur's œuvre in 1982's Airplane II: The Sequel. Biography came along in the 1990s; Graves stayed for more than a decade, winning an Emmy for the cable series in 1997.
Born in 1926, Graves was the younger brother of fellow classic-TV icon James Arness, who starred on the long-running Western Gunsmoke.
Last December, Graves sounded ready for more careers, telling the Los Angeles Times he had no intention of retiring. "There has got to be some good parts around for guys my age," he said.

Ed had another successful opening last night. For the first time in a long time, I felt like myself. I chatted with strangers & new friends without anxiety all night. It was wonderful & such a relief. Plus, I got to wear my new dress. It was a good night all around.
The opening for Ed's first year show was last night at Disjecta. It was a great show & the work is fantastic. I think that there are some really tremendous artists in Ed's program & I can't wait to see where their talents will lead them over the next few years. Also, they are some stellar individuals that I feel so lucky to know & love. If you're in the area, go check this show out. You'll be glad you did.

Source: Seventh-round pick Steve Beauharnais to sign contract Thursday
|05.16.13 at 12:00 pm ET
The Patriots and seventh-round pick Steve Beauharnais have agreed to a contract, according to a league source, and the Rutgers product is expected to sign his deal later Thursday afternoon.
Beauharnais is a 6-foot-1, 240-pounder who was taken 235th overall, and was one of three Scarlet Knights who was selected by the Patriots in this draft. Beauharnais finished his senior season with 77 tackles, 16 of them for a loss, to go along with five sacks and three interceptions.
Beauharnais was adamant that he would not sign a deal until he was done with his studies for the year, and he was true to his word — according to a source, he took his last final on Wednesday and was in Foxboro on Thursday participating in the offseason workout program, lifting weights and attending meetings.
Beauharnais is the second member of New England's 2013 draft class to reach a contract agreement. Third-round pick Duron Harmon signed his deal earlier in the week.

Five Fun Animated Entertainments to Stream on Netflix Tonight
Animation is not just for kids anymore - animation continues to show up on the big screen, more and more feature adult themes and the artistry is as beautiful than ever. So whether you have kids or just feel like a big kid - here are five animated movies and shows to stream on Netflix tonight.
The Secret of Kells
Gorgeous artwork and voice over acting bring this fictional story of the Book of Kells to life. This 2009 movie was nominated for an Academy Award, but didn't receive the fanfare of the other movies in its category that year. Kids will love it for the story, but adults will love it for its design choices.
If you're tired of watching Johnny Depp dress in weird costumes, but still love him despite his recent choices, then Rango is pretty much the perfect movie for you. Who would have thought the Western could be reinvented so successfully? I love everything about this movie, especially the mariachi owls. Yes, mariachi owls.
All Dogs Go To Heaven
There's something extra special about finding yourself wiping away a stray tear when watching an animated movie. It's rare, but it's a sure sign the director and artists responsible for it truly infused humanity into their story. All Dogs Go To Heaven was the first animated movie that ever brought out that kind of emotion in me — and it's still charming and funny to this day.
Home Movies
This animated TV show is a staple for comedy fans. Made by the brains behind Bob's Burgers, this show is sarcastic and witty, taking on family issues with heart. Pay special attention to the voices. Careful viewers will find a couple of Mitch Hedberg cameos.
Many young people were introduced to Tintin for the first time last year, when Steven Spielberg brought the series back to life, but many of the original animated movies and series episodes are on Netflix Instant today. They're not as slick as the 2011 remake, but the silly banter between Thompson and Thomson still provide laughs, and kids will get a kick out of early Snowy too.

I love Home Movies and The Secret of Kells, but Rango was pretty dreadful. The animation is admittedly pretty incredible, but the movie just drags and only has a few laughs. People who defend it refer to it as being dark, but I'd argue that it's just bleak and boring. And at some point in life, Jonny Depp decided that we all love Hunter S. Thompson as much as he does. Eh.
I loved The Secret of Kells.
Another one to catch: Sita Sings the Blues
The Secret of Kells is gorgeous! I definitely recommend it; it's animation style is lovely. I had a few good laughs during Rango. It does a drag at a few places, but it's very entertaining nonetheless and I prefer it's subtle humour.
I get that AT is trying really hard to branch out, but movie reviews?
Don't forget The Triplets Of Belleville. A great story about a grandma and grandson.
AT folks like to relax too, and so glad they do and then share info like this!....I love that I saw the Secret of the Kells here...had never heard of it before.....thank you!, thank you!, thank you! AT. Hope more of your readers send in some recs...!
@kmk355 and moonbase alphan,
This site isn't just about interior design. Remember how AT used to have a whole bunch of sub-sites? One of those was Unplugged, and it was devoted to techie stuff. Now that the sites are combined, sometimes there are posts here about streaming movies, or phone apps, or photo equipment. If you're not interested, don't read those posts.
The Secret of Kells was a wonderful movie and is a good point to then introduce children to what the real Book of Kells is and how the Bible used to be not only a sacred work but also a precious hand made book copied letter by letter.
Shaun the Sheep! It's made by Aardman Animations, who made Wallace & Gromit. Shaun is so funny and silly!
What @akay said.
What movie is that beautiful stylized fish at the head of the post from? I don't recognize it, but I love that image...
Love love love Secret of the Kells. I think given that design inspiration can be found everywhere, this post is just fine by me.
Also, the fish is from Kells, too.
You always have the option to not read an a article if it offends your sensibilities. I, however, watch movies at home, so I found the article informative.
shawn the sheep- yes, it's cool looking and pretty funny too :)
We have a four year old, and honestly, I don't know if I'd let her watch The Secret of Kells yet- YES, it's absolutely gorgeous, but I remember some kind of scary fire scenes. Also, we tried watching Tintin, and we had to explain about smuggling, some language (if I remember right), and some other more "big kid" stuff- ended up turning it off. All Dogs go to Heaven we tried a few weeks ago, but it opens with dogs planning a MURDER. She was so creeped out she begged it to stop.
However, she LOVED Ponyo, and that had a tsunami which I thought would scare her ( go figure!)... so for great visuals Miyazaki films are usually a safe bet in our house :)
Man, this makes me sound like a crazy mom... just trying to say, remember your kid's sensitivities as well :)
Secret of the Kells for the win! I had the unexpected pleasure of watching this at Christmas with my niece and sister. I didnt even think of watching it before it was shown on TV.
The animation is gorgeous and the story is excellent, more than I expected from this. My niece was 4 and she was ok with the fire scenes. Honestly, I understand what people are saying above about children being sensitive, but you have to let them get a little bit scared every now and again, otherwise too much will slip them by. Before I get too much grief, the book of Kells does have a "General" rating
I let my kids get scared, all I was saying was a caution to others, all kids are different. sheesh.
Thanks for the recommendation. FYI, apparently All Dogs Go To Heaven is not available on UK Netflix so UK users are SOL unless you use some sort of IP changer like UnoDNS. Basically, UnoDNS lets you to access Netflix US and different regions so you can get the movie you want.
Super happy you posted these. I'd not heard of Home Movies and had been wondering about Secret of the Kells.
I just added The Secret of the Kells to my instant queue on Netflix and saw an expiration date next to it. The movie won't be available after October 5, 2012. I'm chatting with their help person now, and she states the movie will be gone after that but may reappear at some point.
A favourite of mine is "Valhalla" about the gods of nordic mythology. I used to read the comics as a kid and the cartoon brings the books to life beautifully. AND it's on youtube with english subtitles so here you go:http://youtu.be/YNX_Heix390
It's funny and heartbreaking and worth a watch.

Chadwick Boseman as Jackie Robinson and Harrison Ford in "42."Photo by Contributed Photo /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
After bringing Jackie Robinson to the big screen in "42," Chadwick Boseman is going to try another icon: James Brown.
Boseman has been cast to play the Godfather of Soul in a planned biopic by "The Help" director Tate Taylor. The film from Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment is currently untitled. Mick Jagger and Brian Grazer are among the producers.
The project has been in development for years, with various actors and directors attached. It's set to finally begin shooting this fall in Mississippi.
In an interview Monday with The Associated Press, Taylor said of the great soul singer: "Those are big shoes to fill."
Many of the baseball scenes in "42" were filmed at Chattanooga's Engel Stadium.

WR Nick Toon - New Orleans Saints

|College: Wisconsin
|Drafted: Round 4
Main Career stats Game Logs Game Recaps Split Stats Play-by-play Latest News
Week 8: vs Green Bay Packers
Mark and Joe say: Tough matchup. Drew Brees played well for most of the contest in Detroit last week, slinging 28/45 for 342 yards passing, two TDs and one interception, while taking just one sack for -7 yards. Marques Colston (10 targets for 6/111/0 receiving) and Kenny Stills (five for 5/103/1) both went over 100 yards receiving, while Travaris Cadet took over Pierre Thomas' pass-catching back role (nine for 6/51/0) - Brandin Cooks handled just three targets for 2/23/0 receiving in a season-low outing. This week, the Saints will be in the friendly confines of Mercedes-Benz Superdome, though Brees will likely have Jimmy Graham only available in a limited role again this week (shoulder injury, zero catches last week). The wide receivers are getting more targets with Graham severely limited. The Packers' pass D is sixth in the NFL this year, with an average of 214.9 net passing yards allowed per game, and they have more interceptions (10, second in the NFL) than pass TDs given up (9). Green Bay has recorded 16 sacks (tied for 14th in the NFL) so far. Carolina was held to 22/39 for 223 net yards, two TDs and one interception passing last week (three sacks taken for -25 yards); Ryan Tannehill had two interceptions and two TDs thrown two games back while taking one sack for -7 yards (20/31 for 237 net yards passing). The Saints' passing attack is always potent at home, but they face a tougher-than-usual opponent in this game.

Does anyone have a link to the full version of "It's On Again" from the Amazing Spider-Man 2 soundtrack? (self.soundtracks)
submitted 5 months ago by jayerp
The official one on YouTube has it with them instantly starting with the lyrics and not the awesome electronic intro/buildup like how it was from the end credits from the movie.

Is it this?
This is the version on the official soundtrack. It matches my copy. Hope that helps.

Envisioning Renewal, and Living Holy Week
First appeared on 03/22/2013. Insights is also available to members via email delivery.
In a universe in which there are no coincidences, it is fitting that so many books on various aspects of Catholic renewal are coming to our attention as Francis begins his pontificate.
Here are my reviews of three of them:
- Evangelical Catholicism: George Weigel's Vision of Catholic Reform: I explain the theory of authentic renewal behind a new book about reform in the 21st century.
- Matching Books to Readers, I: Monti's A Sense of the Sacred: If you are drawn to liturgy and ritual as critical to the spirit of Catholic renewal, this major study by James Monti is for you.
- Matching Books to Readers, II: Stroik's The Church Building as a Sacred Place: And if you recognize the powerful role that Church architecture can play in orienting us toward God, you'll appreciate professor and architect Duncan Stroik's collected essays and photographs.
We also have some good news for you. Remember the Benedictine monks of St. Joseph Abbey in Louisiana? Since they make and sell caskets, the State of Louisiana tried to put them out of business to protect mortuaries from competition. But a Federal appeals court overruled the State....

Our family of 8 (ages 5 to 72) found the cottage ideal for our visit to PEI. The space worked wonderfully, allowing us to spend time together or each "do our own thing." The location was terrific, as we could easily visit Charlottetown or travel to multiple destinations across the Island. Everything in the house was thoughtfully provided, so we could prepare meals, watch DVD's, or sit on the porch in the colorful Adirondack chairs. The beach was great for the kids to build sand castles or the adults to take an early morning or evening stroll. All in all, Island Bay Cottage helped us experience a terrific family vacation; I would recommend it to any group seeking a peaceful location with access to every kind of activity.
Great rental property in Brackley Beach
Our family had a wonderful vacation in PEI and this rental property was perfect for our vacation. Close to the beach and Charlottetown. The property was very clean, plenty of room, comfortable and well stock for all our needs. It was great having a dishwasher, washer and dryer and crib. Great idea providing a park pass! Thank you again Lisa! We highly recommend this property for rental.
One Word - AMAZING!!
Pictures never lie and it couldn't be more true for this beautiful cottage. What was offered at this lovely getaway was beyond our expectations. The property and grounds were well maintained and everything you needed was made available, and then some. The owners, Trevor and Judy, were very accommodating and wonderful to deal with. One of the most pleasurable amenities was the outdoor hottub overlooking the bay and the serenity of the location was absolutely priceless. We were grateful that we were so close to the Dunes Gallery - we ate there 3 times and must say it was our favorite place to also shop for gifts. Cavendish Beach is probably one of the most beautiful beaches in North America and we enjoyed walking and biking in that area of PEI. We were also able to enjoy a couple of rounds of golf during our stay. This was probably one of the most restful holidays we've had as we spent a good length of time just relaxing at Tigh-Na-Mara and enjoying its beautiful view and tranquility. My favorite piece of decor at the cottage was Eeyore, the stuffed animal in one of the bedrooms. Absolutely adorable. I'm trying to get one on EBay! We're hoping to return some day to Tigh-Na-Mara and have been singing the praises of this beautiful cottage since we've returned home.

So I had the best idea for a date. A SWEATER SHOPPING DATE.
First you get coffee. Then you go to thrift shops and buy sweaters. Then you bring the sweaters home and wash them. While they are in the washer/dryer, you make out and stuff. Then, you take the sweaters out of the dryer and you put them on and you get all cozy and eat snacks and watch movies in your cozy clean sweaters! And you kiss a lot. The end.

You know whats fucking scary? The fact that I could literally change my life at any moment. I could stop talking to everyone that makes me unhappy. I could kiss whoever i want. I could shave my head or get on a plane or take my own life. Nothing is stopping me. The entire world is in my hands, and I have no idea what to do with it.

Price: $30
|Author: Reiner Knizia
|Publisher: Fantasy Flight Games
|Number of players: 2 to 4
|Time to play: 20-40 min
|Recommended age: 12
Another classic by Reiner Knizia, you and your fellow wizards rush from oracle to oracle convincing them to tell Maginor, the chamberlain of the Wizard's Council, that it is you who should become the new High Wizard and not your opponents.
Rules Overview
For your turn you either teleport to a new oracle, or attempt to influence the oracle where you currently are. To influence the oracle, you merely roll a dice and place an influence token in the space indicated. (I know die is the singular of dice, but I have to write this for everyone :-)
With such a simple mechanic, the choice of which oracles to influence and when becomes vitally important. You also have a limited selection of spells you can use throughout the game. Needless to say, these are best used to sway an oracle in your favour just before Maginor arrives there. But Maginor only advances to the next oracle when the die indicates. (See :-)
The perfect game to play when waiting or when time is limited, its speed and ease in no way detract from its fun and excitement and you will often find yourself yelling at Maginor to hurry up and score your oracle before someone else influences it to vote for them.

Moisture Balancing Conditioner
Customer ReviewsAdd review
29 Review(s)
Nice Conditioner but Not for Me By Margaret
I got this conditioner as part of an itchy flaky scalp set. Unfortunately it really irritated my scalp so I had to stop using it. I have dermatitis on my scalp. I didn't find it conditioned my hair as well as I hoped it would. Posted on 2014-02-21
mediocre By R
I love the elastisizer, I love the itchy flakey shampoo and tonic. But this conditioner for me was plain mediocre. While it didnt weigh my hair down and did leave it shiny, my hair still felt dry afterwards. I used plenty of it too. The stronger conditioners for kingsley also seem to contain protein too and my hairs not normally a fan of protein. Ohwell.. Back to the drawing board!! Posted on 2013-03-17
MAkes a real difference By Vicky
SO glad to have found this conditioner. Along with the moisture balancing shampoo it has made me fall in love with my hair again. I have quite a lot of hair, but it's fine, dry and frizzy and can be very flyaway. This shampoo makes it feel gorgeous and manageable. I'm ordering in bulk as even though it's expensive the difference it makes is totally noticeable and well worth it. Posted on 2013-03-02
Brilliant By Kathryn
A bit about me and my nightmare hair.... I have scalp psoriasis, fine, curly/frizzy/fluffy, shoulder length hair which to style I have to use straighteners!
I purchased this conditioner along with the shampoo and it is brilliant... they didn't irritate my scalp, smoothed my frizzy hair but didn't weigh it down or make it look limp and greasy!
It's a first for me not to have to wash my hair everyday also, I wear a silk hair cap to bed (sad I know) but that normally just means my hair isn't knotted but with these products, I woke up my hair just needed a quick brush! Posted on 2013-02-25
so soft! By Nats29
Just want to say how lovely the conditioner is! with all other conditioners I used (and they have been expensive ones) I had to leave in my hair for a while for it to be remotely soft and smooth it really is luxurious and you dont need to put a lot in at all. Posted on 2013-02-14

Yes, I wish they'd expand the control-arrowkey subword feature to the entire OS. I use it dozens of times an hour when editing code (and have been for years before in CodeWarrior), and I sure miss it when I move to other parts of the OS.

Dr. Laurie Dill pointed to a large map in the hallway of Medical AIDS Outreach of Alabama (MAO). It showed the number of people in each county living with HIV or AIDS in 2010. Where the counties pulsed red is the new, rural heart of the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
Dill pointed to a belt of deep red that cut across Alabama. "That's the Selma to Montgomery march," she said. "Plus Tuskegee."
Today the famous route where Martin Luther King Jr. led a civil rights pilgrimage in 1965 runs through a land in the midst of an HIV epidemic.
HIV/AIDS, long thought to be an urban disease, has migrated south to rural communities that lack the money, resources or education to combat the epidemic. In Alabama, one of the hardest-hit areas is the black belt. Originally known for its fertile, cotton-growing soil, the region is one of the poorest in the U.S.
Across the Black Belt, counties like Lowndes, Hale, Greene, Macon, Dallas and Montgomery routinely rank among the highest in new incidence rates for HIV in the state.

Noun. The excuse women use to deflect any sort of blame off of themselves when acting irratically; a defense mechanism as to not take responsibility for their actions.
Girlfriend: "I'm sorry baby, I know I did things behind your back -- lied, cheated, screamed at you and had another man's baby... I don't know what I was thinking... My hormones must just be ridiculous right now, omg!"
Boyfriend: "Bitch don't feed me some bullshit insanity defense. Call it your whoremoans and maybe we can agree on something for once."

similar to the brain function "hormones". Only, whoremoans are when platonic male friends of females decide they want to jump the river & cross the line. Then when the girl gives in because she doesn't want to be rude & ruin their friendship, this is "whoremoans".
yeah, well Sally hooked up with Harry I guess. Her damn whoremoans or something.

Tommie Tips for a Successful Entry
How to Start
To avoid last minute panic attacks and possibly a less than best effort, start the awards preparation 4-6 weeks before the deadline.If you are using outside help with your entry, contact the photographer and writer well in advance. It's always a good idea to get in line early and avoid the stress!
No Ugly Ducklings
Make sure your entry home is ready for the photo shoot. It has to show like a winner. Hire a top notch photographer and meet them at the property to discuss the required shots as well as shots of your choosing.
For example: No excess clutter or personal effects that will take away from the elements you wish to show. Do everything in your power to make the entry look great!
If suitable, have a dusk shot in addition to the daylight photos. Judges like creative photography and often the shots of choice will swing more votes to a particular entry!
Awards Budget $$
It's best to budget +/- $1000 for project photography. Amortize the investment over several categories and over years of promotional marketing for your company. You'll appreciate having done it when you had the chance!
Always use the best photography in your marketing materials:
- Website Gallery
- Printed Brochures
- Exhibition Graphics
- Advertisements
- Press Releases
- Builder's Storyboard
- Portfolio Book
Co-op $$$ for Entries
Ask your consultants to sponsor your entry in return for copies of photos that they can use for their business.
For example: Architects, lawyers, interior designers, graphic designers, trades, lenders, accountants etc.
Everyone likes to associate with a winner so send out a request for sponsorship to this year's awards. You'll soon find out who shares your passion for success!
It's All in the Photos
Most photo sequences should start from outside to inside and back to outside. The marketing statement should refer to elements of the photos so the judges will take note of the feature or design theme.
Secret: First and last shots have to be memorable. Take advantage of all the photos allowed in the entry and put interesting ones in the middle of the sequence.
Secret: Use a photo or two of Green sustainable construction features.
Winning Writing
Review and re-write the marketing statement until you are satisfied about the way it describes your entry.
Secret: Put the marketing statement aside for a day and review it again with "fresh eyes" to try and improve it. There is always something that can be perfected. Repeat as often as necessary!
The Judges Listen
Write your project description statement to follow along with the series of photos in the entry. The entry is better defined with words and photos that are in sync.
Secret: Touch on all topics required in the criteria for the entry. Check them off against your entry statement. Don't sweat it if you can't cover all criteria topics-do a great job with what you have.
How to Leverage your Tommie Award into more Publicity
Consider hiring a freelance PR consultant to do a press release and distribute it to the media in your city. Explain what the nomination or Tommie means to you and your employees. Be proud of the achievement. Talk about the challenges in home building and how you overcame them in making the winning entry. The budget for this should be +/- $500.00.

Caring For Filigree
Cleaning & Protecting Your Filigree Jewelry
Suggestions for Keeping Your Jewelry Like New
Because of the engraving on filigree jewelry, care must be taken to keep it clean and bright. Here are a few suggestions that will help keep your purchase shining for years to come:
Remove your rings when performing household chores or messy tasks.
Avoid wearing your rings when showering and hand-washing, this will prevent a soap film from building up in the engraving and dulling the finish.
Avoid exposing your jewelry to salt water and harsh chemicals.
Take care to apply makeup and hairspray before putting on jewelry, smudges and sprays can dull the finish.
Visit your jeweler at least once a year to have your ring inspected and cleaned.
Since emeralds are delicate and softer than many other gems — they require special care when being cleaned and they are particularly sensitive to dramatic changes in temperature. Never clean emeralds with steam or ultrasonic processes, simply wipe with a soft cloth.
To clean your filigree jewelry at home, brush each piece with a soft bristle brush to remove dust and other particles. Soak the ring in a solution of mild dish detergent and lukewarm water, then brush again lightly. Rinse with lukewarm water and dry with a soft chamois cloth.
Need Assistance with a Repair or Resizing?
If you require repair work or resizing, please contact a retailer for assistance. Our authorized retailers will provide you with advice on repair recommendations and make arrangements to have your fine jewelry worked on by experts.

In a note to the black belts, Master Lawlor said, "I want to say that I could not have been more proud of all of you who marched in the Sackets Harbor parade, despite the hot weather, and the extra steps marching in place, and being thirsty, everyone stood tall. Later among the comments I heard were; Awesome; Everyone looking straight ahead; Very professional; Serious looking; Flags and banners - you knew we were coming; Cannon Team looked like they were on a real mission; Cannon Team looked grim and businesslike; and many more comments. Again, my deep appreciation to all of you."

The theme for the Haunted House has always been to honor the "Classic Masters of Fright." These Classic Masters might be from memorable short stories, books, or the movies. The exhibits are developed and staffed by members of American Kang Duk Won. Guides escort visitors in small groups and provide commentary for total enjoyment and safety. Visitors of all ages are welcome, even small children, as the intent is for excitement, intrigue, and fun, not gross horror.

AKDW member CW4 Michael Pracht was given special permission to take, and display the flag when appropriate, while deployed in Afghanistan. He has been able to fly the flag on a mission, and is planning, when they have decent weather, to run it up the main flag pole at FOB Salerno base in Afghanistan, and is also planning to fly the AKDW flag on the September 11th anniversary of the New York City terrorist attack.
A picture of the AKDW flag in CW4 Pracht's capable hands at FOB Salerno, Afghanistan is given below.

Compile include issue
Viewing 1 post (of 1 total)
I'm having an unusual issue when building a stand-alone application that needs to include a midi file that is read into the mxj midifile object. Before building, the patch works correctly, loading the midi file automatically using a read message with loadbang. When I compile the application, after creating a build script that includes the folder in which the midi file resides, the compiler indicates in the Max window that the file has been included but when I launch the app, I get two errors: "Couldn't read: /Volumes/+/" and "Couldn't read: /Volumes/ a,/". The midi file is not loaded.
I'm running Max 6.1.6 under OS 10.8.5 on a MacBook Pro (Intel Core i7)
Any help is greatly appreciated.
