Title: Consider The Hairpin Turn
Rating: NC-17
Wordcount: 27,692
Summary: AU of 6x22: Sam's wall has shattered and the memories in his mind have splintered. When the Sam who remembers Hell tells him to go find Jess and be happy, Sam knows he can't stay while Dean needs him. But when the Sam from Hell says that Dean is already there looking for him, Sam leaves his memories of the pit behind to find him. What he finds is a life he doesn't remember: a house that he shares with his brother (and has for years), a law career he thought he'd left behind at Stanford, and a relationship with Dean he never dreamed he could have. Life is almost too good to be true, at least until Sam begins to hear his brother's voice calling to him, begging him to wake up.
Comment: Heavy in some places, but this was very well written and explores parts of Supernatural that the show couldn't go into. I normally don't like stories that rewrite what has already happened on the show, but this one was well executed and a very interesting read.

Research takes him to interesting places; re-reading novels for subtext, visiting message boards, and a really freaky place called LiveJournal.

Comment: I had to struggle a lot to read this entirely. Losing my eyes terrifies me to no extent, and this story is heavy on the shoulders.

He's not pretty, not beautiful. He's small and weak and pathetic and one day they're all gonna figure it out. One day…
Comment: I read this while I was in Japan and my travel buddy was so tired of me poking her and rambling on-and-on about this fic that I think she might be able to retell the story without having read it. It's incredibly well written, up to the point where I forgot where fiction started and where reality is. I mean, I understand that this fanfic is, well, fiction, but the way she wrote J2 is exactly the way I imagine they act when they are not in the public eye. I can't recommend you to read this more than I am right now. Just read it and enjoy.

Wordcount: ~34,000
Summary: Lt. Gen. Jared Padalecki finds himself the slave of a mysterious religious figure in an enemy citadel. His life and soul are on the line as he tries to understand what purpose he seems destined for at the hands of his captors.
Comment: This is one hell of an AU. I raise my hat to the author who managed to incorporate religious themes within the story without turning it into an allegory of reality and keeping it enjoyable. Strong story with a lot of smut.
Title: Instinct & Taste [AU]
Rating: NC-17
Wordcount: ~45,400
Summary: As a young chef trying to break into the sizzling hot world of Charleston cuisine, Jensen Ackles spent more time in the kitchen than he did sleeping, eating, or socializing; he was absolutely dedicated to his craft and to the mentor who'd given him a chance. When all of that work paid off in a big way, Jensen was thrilled, but from the moment he accepted his dream job, other aspects of his life began to sour, quickly. Now, shouldered with the extra burdens of caring for his brother's house and keeping his job safe from a brown-nosing new sous chef, Jensen tries everything, up to and including therapy, to keep his life from boiling over. It's not until he hires college senior Jared Padalecki that things start to turn around, and Jensen learns that if he can stand the heat, fate might cook up something even better.
Comment: Amazing read with an array of very well developed side-characters. Story is amazingly well written and has made me want to know more about cooking and high-class restaurants' kitchens in general.

Summary: Born into slavery, Jared has been trained and used as a pleasure slave ever since he was a teenager. Rare and coveted because of his Alpha status, Jared has always sold to the richest and often cruelest of masters. His new master, the young but ruthless CEO of TradeMark Entertainment, Jensen Ackles, seems no different. At least, not until Jared stops to wonder what a consummate Alpha male like Ackles would want with another Alpha as his pleasure slave. Things only get more confusing when Jared arrives at his new master's home and finds that there are no other slaves. He soon learns that Ackles freed all of his father's slaves when he inherited them and has been a vocal supporter and patron of anti-slavery groups since. Jared doesn't know how to reconcile this knowledge with his master's outward coldness, but the more he learns about Ackles, the less he seems to fit into the assumptions that Jared has made about him.

Title: The Courtship Of Jensen's Co-Star
Rating: NC-17
Wordcount: ~112,000
Summary: Somewhere in the time between a handshake and a hug, Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki went from being reel-life brothers to real-life best friends, and complete strangers to cosmic soul mates, no rhyme or reason to it that either of them could ever see. Jared was everything Jensen was not: friendly, funny, and full of life; one in six-point-whatever billion the Earth's population currently stood at. Life was awesome. Work was amazing. Everything was fine until Jared kissed Jensen. Everything was peachy until Jensen fell in love. With desperate times unexpectedly calling for desperate measures, Jensen called Chad Michael Murray for relationship advice – because being in love led to temporary insanity obviously – so it really didn't surprise him that he couldn't seem to win when it came to wooing Jared. Still, Pisces must've been in a really good place in the night sky or something because suddenly, right smack dab in the middle of the miserable courtship of his co-star, Jensen discovered that maybe loving Jared was all he needed to do to win his heart. And luckily for Jensen, loving Jared was also the one thing he did best.
Comment: Very very long fic, but worth the read if you have the time. I enjoyed the way some facts are very well blended into our reality. In other words, you could look up some things that happen in this fic and realize they really did happen. Good research and nicely laid out.

Comment: An amazing read. Feel good vibes written all over. I hesitated before starting it before I felt the first part would drag on, but trust me when I tell you that it is worth reading. I'm not entirely satisfied with the way things turn out, but the concept is sheer pleasure to take in and the story made me want to believe in magic. I just love the whole enchanted!Jensen concept. Very nice.

Summary: Jared's life is good; his family might call him "loser" but he has everything he dreams of: more money than he can spend, cool friends to hang out with, and chicks to bang whenever he wants to. It could go on like this, but then Jared's life takes an unexpected turn when his grandma leaves him her old, long abandoned apple farm in Vermont. Because the inheritance is made with the proviso that only Jared can rebuild the farm, he fulfills his grandmother's wish and moves to the tiny town of River's End, where everyone but Sam, the owner of the local inn, holds a grudge against Jared's family. On the night Jared arrives, a homeless man collapses in front of the inn. John, the town vagrant, can't remember anything of his life prior to when he woke up in a field, only clad with a cloak, and a single, torn and stained page of a mysterious book in its pocket. Even though Jared is repulsed by John's state and doesn't want to have anything to do with the tramp, he helps Sam to take care of him. Soon enough, Jared learns that there is a sad, mysterious story and a kind heart beneath all those layers of dirt. Jared and John become friends, and help each other to see the best in themselves. As their friendship strengthens, John begins to fall in love with Jared. Jared also starts to develop confusing feelings for his friend. All he wants to do is protect his John and help him find his true name. Can they make it and find the missing pieces in their lives?

Title: Reconciling Hollywood

Summary: Misha has always prided himself on his mastery of the first impression - both giving and receiving. After all, people are easy enough to read if examined through the appropriate lens. For the last two years he's stuck to his guns and his assumption that Jensen is just a good guy who made a dick mistake back when he thought Misha was disposable. Pushed him up against a trailer door and took because he could. But now, with Jared overseas with his new bride, Jensen around more than ever, and a decision weighing heavy on his conscience, Misha realizes that truly knowing Jensen might be nearly as impossible as knowing himself.
Comment: Cute and you really recognize Jensen and Misha. It's a bit scary how this author nails their personality down so well.

Chavez propaganda
I was horrified to see a public employee wearing such a blatant from of governement propaganda. The man was among about 10 other people in Sabana Grande in Caraces in the Municipal district of El Libertador, of course controlled by one of Chavezes lackies. So I ask those Americans or Europeans that support Chavez how would you feel if your public service employees wore pro-Bush T-shirts? For those of you that have not been to Venezuela since Chavez has come to power, you should be aware that all public employees "must?" wear red (the official Chavez color). I will comment on this more in a later post.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My son has gone to this school since Kindergarten and just started 3rd grade today. It is a great school and he has had wonderful teachers.
Ms. Crawford-Li, who has taught Pre-K at Eagle Rock for 2013-2014 school year, is an amazing teacher who goes the extra mile! She methodically organizes a high-level instructional program and provides engaging activities, performances and field trips.. She encourages social/emotional development for all style learners and her students are thoroughly engaged while having fun and calmly following her direction. She includes the parents in routine volunteerism and corresponds daily with a cute folder & bag (the home work is meaningful and not burdensome!) She is an A+ teacher and her T.A.. compliments the program.
My kids started in the magnet here this year and really love this school. their teacher is very creative and works hard to meet the needs of each of her students.
Eagle Rock Elementary is a good school. My daughter had a wonderful third grade teacher last year who was responsive to her learning problems and was very supportive, my son had a good 1st. grade teacher who was strict yet open minded. The after school YDP program is a good program that introduces the kids to art and music.
While there are some gifted teachers in the Gifted Magnet, there are incompetents and these bad ones are so stunningly awful that it can make you forget how good the good ones are. If you get into the program, don't think your child is going to have great opportunities.They talk a great game, but are still teaching to the test here. STAR testing is the holy gril: Magnet kids are expected to score ber high to make up for the low scores in the regular school so the administrators can look good and get promoted to some cush job on Beaudry Ave. Gifted education, which used to include lots of enrichment, is now More Math, More Homework, More Rote Learning and Less Creative Thinking. Socially, the gifted kids are marginalized as behavior problems or "weird," both by their non-gifted peers and by some of the teachers and administrators. These kids are then labeled, and dismissed, by the school. The administrators here do not seem to understand or care that the gifted children think and behave differently, and are largely intolerant toward them. The playground is utter chaos with lots agressive/violent play and bullying where no adult is present to intervene. Grade?: Fail
My daughter entered the magnet program in the fourth grade, the experience was wonderful. The fourth grade magnet teacher sincerely cares about each and every student as if they were her own. My daughter felt welcomed by the teacher even entering the program later than the rest of the students. I left my child at school each day knowing she was in good hands and learning. I can't say enough good things about the fourth grade magnet program. It was a great year and I still can go to this teacher for help, she goes above and beyond.
Eagle Elementary needs to work on the massive bullying problem. They have no supervision in the yard and those bathrooms are beyond disgusting. Teachers need to be more sympathetic and not target students they do not like. I notice that the teachers there play favoritism and do not believe that certain students are capable of the worse!!!!! Too many students for just one principal; my children will not be attending next year. Can you say private school.
This school has been wonderful and exceeded my expectations despite the reputation of largely overcrowded LAUSD schools. The principal really does care about the welfare and education of each student. He also started a valet program and occassionally you will see him out there directing students and families to safety. There are great teachers in the Gifted program that set high expectations and do their best to enrich their student's lives. My daughter is in the GATE program and it is definitely a more vigorous workload than a regular classroom, but she is learning skills that I believe will set her apart from the average student. Parents have the option to meet on a monthly basis with all the Gifted teachers to discuss progress. There is an orchestra at this school that is voluntary. This school offers an afterschool program for free provided by the county and any student can apply. The crew is run by young college age kids so most of the activities are social and homework time within your peer groups. There are music and art programs occassionally. Overall-ERE is a great school and my daughter is in a classroom with great kids.
Eagle Rock Elementary is a great school. Both of my sons (pre-k, 1st grade) love the school and their teachers. There is a strong sense of community with amazing parents.
My child loves the highly gifted magnet. It seems like there were more activities like the class musical AND more homework in the third and fourth grade class than in fifth grade. The lady who teaches third and fourth grades is excellent. She cares very much and made good projects. I thought fifth grade would be harder to prepare for middle school but I think there's less work. Sometimes I don't understand my child's homework journal. All year it seems like homework gets added or changed or moved. Also, in my opinion there is no schedule to the class. I asked "what did you do in math today" and my child says there was no math but they played hockey. The man who teaches the class seems much more relaxed. Still it is an excellent program with art and science and music. Also, the teacher reads good books in class. I wish Eagle Rock high school had highly gifted classes.
A Blue Ribbon school with a diverse socio- economic population with wonderful a motivated and innovative teaching staff. The school has an amazing Special Education program as well as GATE and two Gifted and High Achieving Magnet schools. There is a garden, Arts partnerships with local orgs and a great PTA and school Foundation. It has a big heart for and high expectations for a Title 1 school
The teachers and parents are wonderful and care about each student. Even thopugh it is a big school it feels like a small community.
very fantastic school my children love this school and i love it too
The LAUSD website (and the Parent Handbook that was sent home with my child) outlines the district's anti-bullying policy. Both sources also provide information regarding the district's guidelines for disciplinary actions against students that violate district rules. Unfortunately, ERE does not implement the (zero-tolerance) anti-bullying policy. ERE students who break school rules are not adequately disciplined. My child has been harassed by the same student for 2 years now. I have made several reports but my concerns are overlooked. It seems ERE's main focus is Blue Ribbon status and above average test scores. I think the safety and emotional well-being of the students is not focused on enough. In speaking with other parents, their children have also been bit, kicked, spit on, verbally harassed, or worse and little or nothing is being done in the way of discipline. There are serious behavioral problems that are not being addressed. It's alarming!
My child has gone from kindergarten up too the 4th grade here at Eagle Rock. All of his teachers have been grate so far and I dont think he will have a bad one at this school. I also went to school in LAUSD many years ago and I can think of many bad teachers. Thank god for this school and all the parents who donate time and make this school what it is.......A grate place too learn!
I love Eagle Rock. I am a student and I enjoy everyday of it! The teachers have strict but a very fun way to teach! Its is always very challenging and it makes me try harder. I am going into 6th grade and I've been in Eagle Rock my whole life ! All my brother's and sisters went here too. This is all I can say!
We are very happy with ERE. My daughter is taught by two exceptional teachers that team teach. I cannot say enough about the two of them. My son's teacher is also exceptional. Both of my children are very happy at ERE and have made some nice friends. The school has many great programs and there is a lot of parent involvement which helps to make it a 'Great School.' Signed, Very happy with ERE.
I had 2 kids in the GATE program. A lot of people believe that the GATE and Magnet programs help 'raise' the test scores of the whole school. Unfortunately, it's a big school and the teaching staff runs the gamut of excellent to bad. If your child is a mediocre student, he/she will fall through the cracks. I volunteered a lot and helped with testing and have seen as many as half the kids in a class not pass their reading fluencies. Some teachers may be overwhelmed especially when they are team teaching and end up handling 2 classes. Bottom line is that this is a large school so you may want to consider the smaller schools around the neighborhood.
I'm a little shocked at the vehemence of the few negative reviews of ERE. My older daughter attended from grades 1-6 and my younger is currently a 5th grader. I can't imagine a better environment for two very different girls than Eagle Rock. I've always worked full-time, but found opportunities to remain involved other than opening a checkbook. (It's sort of amazing, how understanding employers can be) The few teachers who're 'riding the tenure train' have retired and I see a vibrant, engaged and engaging staff that mirrors the Eagle Rock community. If it's as uninspiring as some think, why are so many out-of-area students there on vouchers?
I've been very impressed with my child's teachers in the magnet program, and the creativity and knowledge they bring to the job. My son's homework is truly interesting and challenging. He enjoys school and is learning much more than at his old school. The only thing I could wish for is more emphasis on science. This new principal (second year) is very 'by the book.' She seems like she wants to control and decide everything, and I'm not sure that's a good approach in such a large school. I think it's hurting morale. The music and dance programs are great. Good PTA and parental involvement.

|Terrific Book and Emmanuel is the Best! (5/5)
|Mar 30, 2012
|Mitch G
|Oakland CA US
I have been learning to bake bread for a few months and have accumulated several instructional / recipe books.
Emmanuel's is the best. The instructions are clear, the photography is outstanding and the breads themselves are delicious.
Great variety of interesting recipes. I have made the polenta bread, chocolate currant, hazelnut currant, levain de campagne and pecan with raisins. All get rave reviews from friends and family.
Even better, Emmanuel is a wonderful and helpful person. I had some difficulty with a recipe and thought to track down his email address and ask for some help. Not only was he responsive but he went out of his way to take the time to call me at home and personally coach me (twice - I am needy). How terrific is that!?
Some notes:
Read the introductory text carefully. For example, the recipes assume you are using a convection oven. If you are not, the simple adjustment is there.
Emmanuel has shared with me an errata. The water in the levain de campagne is 300g, not 150g.
Water absorption is a little different in US flours. I needed to cut back on the water in the sourdough polenta. The first one I made was too wet and I had a baking / sticking problem. It was still great. After Emmanuel helped me adjust, it was even more great!
Final note: Buy this book. :)

"Fear Factor" producers' plans to serve fresh glasses of donkey semen to contestants on the next episode had NBC execs so concerned ... they gave serious thought to killing the stunt, TMZ has learned.
Sources involved in the production tell us the stomach-churning stunt was shot last summer -- but NBC honchos were having a tough time swallowing this one as the air date approached.
We're told the challenge involved teams of twins drinking the full glass of donkey semen -- with a glass of urine thrown in for good measure. Contestants had to drain both glasses in order to move on to the next round.
Our sources say NBC execs had multiple pow-wows in the months after the stunt was shot ... but eventually gave FF producers the thumbs up.
Calls to NBC were not immediately returned.
The episode airs this coming Monday -- and yes, we're told multiple contestants actually do (gulp) drink up.
So that's what they mean by donkey punch.
Hope the NBC execs read this.......I'm done watching their s*it shows. This is ridiculous. What happened to us?
WTF Chris Pontius took a sip of horse semen on jackass 2 and threw up and made everyone around him throw up. If you completed this stunt you're insane.
damn... I wanna date the girl who swallows this ... she's a keeper! :)
It's no wonder I don't watch this show. How discusting, and embaressing. I'd be ashamed if other countries were watching this.
You are raping innocent minds, NBC. How dare you lead minds astray like this. No wonder the USA is condsidered the whore of the world and has lost respect. Once you do this you can't go back. Stand up for innocence and all of God's creations

I would drop out if they even only asked me to collect the stuff.
I should be glad to see the producers take on the challenge of making the Republican Debates worth watching.
Of course I suppose that an Elephant would be more appropriate than a Donkey.
Heck, $50,000 buys a lot of mouthwash.
I bet you guys love it when your girl does this for you, and I'll also bet you won't kiss her after.
Just goes to show how ridiculously stupid our society is becoming. Hopefully the stunt after this one on the show was putting a loaded gun to their heads and pulling the trigger.
I'm seriously sick to my stomach right now just reading this. This is beyond disgusting. I CANNOT believe what some people consider entertainment. You can't say the F word on TV, but it's okay to guzzle donkey ***...for money no less. I agree with other postings here...no wonder the rest of the world hates us. Our society is totally f'd.
One more reason not to watch this show. eeech!
What's next, feces?
That's just wrong. So wrong.

The Associated Press reports three former Saab executives have been arrested on charges of accounting fraud. Swedish prosecutor Olof Sahlgren has refused to identify the individuals, but says they're suspected of attempting to evade taxes by falsifying Saab accounts between 2010 and 2011 during the Spyker years. Other reports indicate the parties involved include former General Counsel to Saab Kristina Geers (seen to the left of former CEO Victor Muller, above), a 15-year-veteran of the company – her husband, Eric, was the company's communications director for 9 years as well.
Saab filed for bankruptcy in 2011, and was purchased shortly thereafter by National Electric Vehicle Sweden. If convicted, the trio could face up to four years in prison for their crimes under Swedish law.

Anyone see that coming? Eccentric, quirky coach Mike Leach brought his Air Raid attack to LaVell Edwards Stadium on Thursday night, and left without posting a single touchdown. It was the first time since 2006 that a Leach-coached team failed to score a TD (one TD was called back, negated by a holding call; A 47-yard pass that moved the ball inside the BYU 5 was also brought back by a holding call).
Of course, there's plenty in the Tribune this morning on the game:
* Here's the later version of my game story, which includes quotes from coach Bronco Mendenhall.
* Here is a notebook, topped by fans' reactions to the new video boards.
* Tribune columnist Kurt Kragthorpe's thoughts on the performance of Brandon Doman's offense are here.
* And here's a sidebar from the Tribune's Jack Wang on how the Cougar defense shut down WSU after a rocky start.
Speaking of Leach, he didn't emerge from the locker room to talk to reporters until about a half-hour after the game had ended. Not cool, when folks are on deadline.
I witnessed a funny exchange between the BYU alum and some fans before the game. Leach walked over to a guy and said, 'Hey, what happened to Tacos, Too?' The fan asked Leach what he was talking about.
"An eating place, Tacos, Too," Leach said. "Loved that place. Went there all the time. Guess it went out of business."
"Yeah, guess so," said the fan.
And with that, Leach headed off to the locker room.
Last Saturday, in a teleconference, Leach responded to a question I asked about what he gleaned from legendary BYU coach LaVell Edwards with plenty of praise for Edwards and the offense he installed in the 1970s and 1980s.
"I think offensively, we may look more BYU than BYU does, if you reflect on the LaVell Edwards days. You know what I mean?" Leach said. "I mean, there are plays that we run .... and we don't run them exactly, but we got them from the golden days back there at BYU when LaVell Edwards was there."
Apparently, BYU players were not amused by that "more BYU than BYU does" comment, although Leach was clearly talking about BYU 20 years ago, not now.
"Overall, some stuff was said during the week, and it was clearly evident tonight that BYU looked like BYU, and the other team was the other team. So I was happy with our performance tonight," quarterback Riley Nelson said. "... When an opposing team comes in and says 'we are going to look more like BYU than BYU will,' I mean, how are you supposed to take that?"
Regarding receiver Skyler Ridley, who filled in for Cody Hoffman when Hoffman left the game with a left quadriceps contusion, Nelson said: "He's a tough sucker."
I will have more comments from Nelson, linebacker Brandon Ogletree, cornerback Jordan Johnson and tight end Kaneakua Friel in later posts.
Here are a few postgame comments from Mendenhall, courtesy of BYU sports information:
"I thought they gave a really great effort. I thought our team played hard and physical. I liked the competitive nature of our team, and I liked the tempo. It was a nice way to start the season and to kick off the 2012 season. It was a cool atmosphere with the fans, and it was just a cool, cool night to for our players to play football."
"Riley is competitive and so tough. He has great leadership and that suits him really well. He demands respect, and when it's hurry up, he gets everyone to the line and pushes the ball forward."
On Washington State:
"I thought WSU was a quality opponent. They have a good coaching staff and a good team. But our team was hungry."
On playing well in the opener:
"I was impressed with our team in general. I like their mindset: in the way they started, the way they took the field, and the way they finished. The players did a great job executing their assignments. ... Anytime you have experienced players, you hope to put them in critical situations where they make plays. It was fun to watch this team play tonight. Again, hungry is a great way to describe them."
On the running game:
"I liked the hard-nose running of Jamal Williams at the end. I liked what he brought to the team."
A few more notes from the game:
* BYU has held opponents to less than 300 total yards in seven straight games; WSU's 224 yards is the lowest in that streak.
* Taysom Hill (first touchdown pass), Ezekiel Ansah (first tackle), Uona Kaveinga (first interception), Skyler Ridley (first catch, first touchdown), JD Falslev (first rushing attempt) and Williams (first rushing attempt) recorded career firsts on Thursday night, but perhaps lost in the shuffle was the fact that defensive end Remington Peck recorded his first sack.
* Cody Hoffman has caught a pass in 20 straight games and 26 of his 27 career games.

Although one look at the standings shows us the Minnesota Timberwolves don't have much reason to celebrate, their 122-121 double-overtime win over the Miami Heat goes far beyond the standings. The next 10 months are going to be the biggest and most pivotal in the franchise's last 10 years, if not their entire history.
If you've been living under a rock, Kevin Love has an opt-out clause that he can enact after the 2014-15 season. The Wolves are going to feel the pressure, because they absolutely can't afford to let go of Love for nothing. Other teams will be foaming at the mouth, knowing that the Wolves are desperate. It's not a good situation for Flip Saunders and the Wolves, that's for sure.
There's really only one option for Minnesota — win or else.
As a free agent, Love would be able to write his own ticket. He's going to get a maximum contract and as long as the team can afford him, he can pick wherever he wants to go. It's of paramount importance that the Wolves stay as attractive as possible to Love, because the combination of winning plus the extra money will be enough to keep him.
Make no mistake about it — a win over the two-time defending champion Heat is a big one, especially considering it was on the road. With seven games left, the Wolves aren't going to have time to make the playoffs, but they can set the table for next season. They've got winnable games against the Orlando Magic, Chicago Bulls, Sacramento Kings and Utah Jazz left. If they finish 4-3, they'll end the season 42-40, by far the best in the Love era.
It's also important that the momentum continues into next season. If the Wolves are in one of the top-6 seeds when the trade deadline comes around, there's no way they'll let go of Love unless they're absolutely blown away by someone.
Don't forget that the Wolves are much better than their record. They have a differential of +3.2, which is ninth-best in the league. If the Wolves were in the East, they'd be the No. 7 seed. After starting the season so poorly in close games, the Wolves are finally regressing to the mean and with that, the wins are starting to come.
There is one major problem, which is why positive momentum now and at the start of next season is so important. Of the regular rotation guys, only Dante Cunningham is not under contract. In a nutshell, what you see is what you get. We'll see the lineup of Ricky Rubio, Kevin Martin, Corey Brewer, Love and Nikola Pekovic. The reserves will be Chase Budinger, J.J. Barea, Luc Mbah a Moute, Gorgui Dieng, Ronny Turiaf, Alexey Shved and Shabazz Muhammad.
Having a roster that's essentially locked in can be a good thing…if Love appreciates the value of that team. A nice winning streak heading into the offseason would help that to happen.
With that said, the Wolves also have some expiring contracts to work with. Barea, Mbah a Moute, Rubio, Shved and Turiaf are all on expiring contracts. The Wolves aren't going to make a big splash with them (unless they got the weird idea to trade Rubio), but they can fill in some holes.
What's the worst-case scenario? If the Wolves sputter to finish this season and then start the 2014-15 season slowly, it's going to put a remarkable amount of pressure on the Wolves. You have to realize that the Love trade rumors are going to get louder and louder next season, regardless of how the team fares.
If they end up having to trade Love, we should realize it's not going to be the end of the world. I know this is not a popular opinion, but Love can bring in a nice haul and with Rubio-Martin-Pekovic, there's already a solid offensive base in place.
Remember what the Wolves got when Garnett left? For those that have forgotten, they got Ryan Gomes, Gerald Green, Al Jefferson, Theo Ratliff, Sebastian Telfair and two first-round draft picks (one of which could have been Stephen Curry, DeMar DeRozan, Jrue Holiday, Ty Lawson or Jeff Teague).
That team didn't have the kind of base this Wolves team has. Imagine being able to have a nice haul plus draft picks.
Think about the potential of trading Love to a team like the Phoenix Suns, who could offer some combination of two first-round draft picks, Markieff Morris, Gerald Green and Channing Frye. It's not a homerun, but it adds to a nice base and speeds up the rebuilding process.
On second thought….just win, Wolves.

The leadership positions for some vital local government functions administered out of the Harford County Courthouse are on the ballot this election season, but the races have been low profile.
The post of Harford County Executive, since its inception in 1972, is generally hotly contested either in the primary or the general election, or both. That goes double for election years like this one when the incumbent is term-limited out.
As was the case four years ago, voters in Harford County have two solid choices in the race to be sheriff, leader of the county's main law enforcement agency.
This year, for the first time in Harford County, voters will have the opportunity to pick six of the nine members of the Harford County Board of Education, which is a major shift in the governance of the school system.

Hi James,
I am not trying to question your working experience with WG: I work for a
company who support Watchguard, apart from other products .... including
Sonicwall and Borderware ...
Since I started supporting Watchguard, around 2000, and may have
criss-crossed about atleast 150 to 200 fireboxes / customers or more, and
still supporting a majority of this number, and the scenarios you mentioned
were (occasionally) showing up on the older softwares, where they used a
different interface and a bit messy management GUI (SMS .. and all .. ).
Since Version 4.61 - I am yet to see even any of the problems you have
mentioned .. One of my customers has a large Watchguard deployment, with
over 14 boxes all over Asia, and they are so impressed with the Watchguard's
reliability and easy GUI and remote management capability, they have
standardised on Watchguard: and in the process removing a few PIX boxes they
had. They have boxes sitting in countries like PNG, Vietnam, Cambodia and
all the way to LA (US). Same goes for a few MNCs, who chose WG due to it's
excellent proxy-arp and a few other features which made deployments seamless
... and least troublesome ..
Well, if the older version kernels were unstable, I got to say this - there
is no picture perfect product from day 1: however, comparatively, Watchguard
can stand up and say that they have a mature product in the Firebox series
End of the day, perceptions differ .... above is mine !
I rest my case to you .. :-) No flaming .. and that's end of my chatter :-)
Happy new year ....

This is a living and growing blogpost. I'll collect some features and packages which are nice to have or useful on your Raspberry Pi. As I found most of the information on the web instead of figuring out myself, I'll link to the tutorials I found.
If you have any suggestions, please feel free to let me know in the comments.
What to do with a Raspberry Pi
I assumed you know what you bought and probably you installed an OS already. I use Raspbian, and prefer it above other OS'es like Noobs or Pidora. I guess you also have some knowledge of Unix and Linux. If not, good luck with executing commands you don't understand!
installing MySQL and the PHP extension.
A database is always useful, and apparently PHP can be used to build websites. Or so I'm told. Check this great tutorial. It's easy.
Configure the Pi as an airplay device.
How cool is that! And relatively straightforward too. Go to http://www.raywenderlich.com/44918/raspberry-pi-airplay-tutorial. I started at the section "Updating the Packages".
Make a box for it!
Personally, I love this tutorial on Instructables where user Sandshock demonstrates a nice looking oak casing for a few dollars.
More to come!

I noticed some errors in certain table entries in an iFeature of mine after I had already started creating parts using it. I've updated the table and when I add new instances of the feature to my part they work fine, but the existing instances of it stay the same size. Is there any way to force the existing instances to update?
The iFeature in question is a sketch and I'm using Inventor 2012, if either of those is relevant.
Did you try using the rebuild command?
Also if you are using these iparts in assemblies you might want to regenerate the iparts.
Yes, rebuild doesn't seem to help.
Is any part with an iFeature automatically an iPart? My parts just have slots in them based on a sketch which is an iFeature.

FDA: King of the Wild Frontier
A lot of us (myself included) think of the Internet as a wild frontier where anything's possible. It's a place with no rules where journalists and researchers can publish considered opinions and bloggers can say outrageous things (myself excluded, of course). The Internet is a place where you have to use your own judgment because no one is monitoring the truth or accuracy of people's claims.
Or so we thought.
Shire (Basingstoke, Hampshire, UK) found out the hard way that a sheriff is patrolling the wild frontier. The company posted a video testimonial on YouTube, featuring spiky-haired celebrity designer Ty Pennington, to promote its "Adderall XR" capsules as a treatment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The US Food and Drug Administration sent Shire a Warning Letter, charging that the video overstated Adderall XR's efficacy. The agency took issue with Pennington's implication that the drug will "transform" a patient's life and help him or her "fit in" and not feel "alienated." FDA also said the video omitted important information about Adderall XR's contraindications and common adverse events. The video should have been submitted to the agency for approval, according to the letter.
The Internet is an open form with wonderful possibilities for exchanging information and ideas. The exchange should be free, but promotional materials such as Shire's video should be subject to conventional regulation. FDA is sometimes portrayed as a lax regulator that is technologically behind. That the agency was aware of Shire's video and asserted its jurisdiction over it is an encouraging sign.

Tonight's game is much more than just Louisville verses Kentucky or another heavyweight match-up between the last two national champions. Tonight will be a true test to how the Cats can play in a hostile environment and how that they can overcome a team that can press like Louisville can.
Rick Pitino is known for a three-quarters press that is used to apply pressure from the inbounds pass to the transition into the half court offense. This is going to either be a major headache for the Cats tonight or it could potentially work to their advantage. Pressing your defenders also means that you are stretching out your defense as well. If the Cats can use their speed and size to get around defenders, then it could lead to easy baskets and potentially get the Cats to the line and leave some Cards in foul trouble.
On the off chance the press does create problems for the Cats, it still should be a fairly close game still. By no means should tonight's game be a blowout either way. The Cats have shown that they are willing to fight when it counts. For example, last game against Wichita State, the Cats kept a fast pace throughout the game and didn't lower their heads when they where down. In other words, the Cats are maturing each game they play. In fact, it seems as though that fans have yet to see the Cats play their best game yet.
Fun Facts Going Into Tonight's Match-Up:
- Each time the Cats and Cards have played one another in the NCAA Tournament, the winner has went on to either a Final Four or NCAA championship (Kentucky – 1951, 2012 NCAA champions and a 1984 Final Four appearance. Louisville – 1959, 1983 Final Four appearances).
- The Cats and the Cards have met once in the first round, three times in the Sweet Sixteen (including tonight's game), once in the Elite Eight and once in the Final Four.
- Rick Pitino is 11-0 in his career at the Sweet Sixteen.
- If the Cats win, they will play either Tennessee or Michigan in the Elite Eight. In 1983, Kentucky and Louisville met in the Elite Eight to play each other for the first time in 24 years. The game was played in Knoxville, TN, the home of the Tennessee Volunteers. This year's Elite Eight in the Midwest Region will be played in Indianapolis, Indiana, the home of the Indianapolis Colts where former Volunteer quarterback Peyton Manning previously played before going to the Denver Broncos.
- Both team have won the last two national championships.
Tip for tonight's game is scheduled for 9:45PM EST on CBS. However, that time is tentative depending on how the Tennessee/Michigan game finishes.

Alzheimer's Disease Health Center
Famous Face Test May Spot Early Dementia
Whereas 93 percent of the healthy group was able to successfully put a name to a famous face, the same was true of just 46 percent of the primary progressive aphasia patients.
And although 97 percent of the healthy group was able to recognize or describe the icons on view, the same was true of just 79 percent of the dementia group.
What's more, brain scan analyses revealed that those who had difficulty with name recall were more likely to have experienced brain-tissue loss in the left temporal lobe region of their brains, while those with difficulties in face recognition had suffered brain loss on both sides of the same region.
"We hope," Gefen said, "that this tool can be incorporated into a battery of tests to be used for younger patients who specifically complain of difficulties naming a person's face."
Catherine Roe, an instructor in neurology at the Washington University School of Medicine, in St. Louis, took a cautious view of the findings.
"To help us know how to use this test as a screening tool," Roe said, "more research needs to be done to figure out whether this test distinguishes all people with dementia from people without dementia or whether it distinguishes only people with one particular type of early-onset dementia from people without dementia."
Cheryl Grady, a senior scientist with the Rotman Research Institute at the Baycrest Center in Toronto, seconded the need for follow-up work. But she nonetheless described the work as "intriguing" and praised "the updating of such a test for middle-aged adults."
"[But] I would say that a lot more studies need to use this test before we will know how sensitive it is or whether it is more sensitive to early disease than other fairly sensitive tests," Grady said.
In research, the more true positive results a test produces, the more "sensitive" the test is considered.

lavendermustelid: I can and will use the term "nigga" whenever and however I damn well please. Just because I'm a "white dude from Texas" doesn't mean shit. You're probably one of those people who thinks we're just a bunch of white trash rednecks sitting around waiting for our next clan meeting. NEWSFLASH: that's Alabama.Shut the fuck up and stay off my blog.
skittyd123: you know what, that sounds perfect for me.
alliartist: while that does actually sound like a good idea, I was thinking something more related to first or second gen, since those are the two that I always played. Also, I'm really skeptical about a forearm tat. I mean, it would look pretty cool (my best friend has one, 8-bit ash and pikachu, like from yellow) I just wouldn't want to worry about having to go out of my way to cover it. Although I will keep that possibility open.

You enter your term into a glossary and provide a description (that's shown in the tooltip) and optionally an extended description (only shown on the glossary page). You can use html in your entries. A content plugin takes care of automatically highlighting those terms in your article.
What I found useful is that you can specify tags, (e.g, h1, h2) where you don't want a definition highlighting. It matches glossary entries very well. If your glossary entry is singular but in your article you add an 's' to make it plural, you'll still get a match. You can also use a plugin tag to disable the feature on certain articles or intro texts.
If you're buying the component - pay for the support, it's worth it. I had a couple of issues (that required bug fixes) and the developer was great in responding to and resolving my problems. Couldn't ask for more.

The component element is the message store. Then you configure instances of the module to display the message. I made use of the conditional cookie feature to display the message to the visitor until they closed it. Then Sticky Message remembers that they've already seen the message.
I did have one issue. I needed to increase the expiry time for a conditional cookie. The support was very quick - same day - and very helpful.
A worthwhile component for the price that does what it says.

We upgraded to the professional version because you can include databases and folders/files outside of Joomla as part of the backup. Plus you have more options for excluding items from the backup.
Akeeba just works. Its the best way to backup/restore or move/copy your Joomla site.
