Already down 3-1 in the series, the New York Rangers will find themselves in an all too familiar place this postseason when the take the ice tonight in a must win game 5 back in Boston.
With Anton Stralman (undisclosed injury), Marc Staal (eye), Ryane Clowe, and seldom used center Darrell Powe (both coming back from presumed concussions) all sidelined with injuries and not practicing yesterday, even more disheartening was news coming from the locker room this morning that $60 million free agent bust Brad Richards will once again not suit up for the Blueshirts in this win or go home matchup against the Bruins.
Richards, who was relegated to the Rangers fourth line after a experiencing a steep drop off in production, has just not been effective enough to even warrant his allotted 8 minutes of ice team in this years playoff run. With a player of his caliber having been largely ineffective this postseason and the game seemingly passing him by, New York head coach John Tortorella had no choice but to sit the aging veteran in favor putting out of a more physical line after the Rangers were manhandled by Boston the first few games of the series. Kris Newbury and Michael Haley will once again get the nod tonight alongside Derek Dorsett in what everyone knows has not been an easy decision for Tortorella.
Torts, having won the cup with Richards while head coach of the Lightning certainly has a soft spot for the Rangers 33 year-old center, calling him 'one helluva hockey player'. Speaking with NY Post's Howie Kussoy, Tortorella went on to say "I look at the fourth line, I'm looking just to get some sort of life and some sort of identity on that fourth line and that's where Brad comes out and I go with these guys here," continuing on, "You get some fresh legs, you get some enthusiasm. … I thought they gave us some good shifts. For the most part, I thought they did a pretty good job."
Having seen limited action both this season and postseason, Newbury and Haley will be counted as the the counter punch to Boston's pesky fourth line of Daniel Paille, Gregory Campbell and Shawn Thornton.
Even as classy and respected as a player like Richards is around the league, should the Rangers either win or lose tonight, with some tough decisions already lying in wait for them this offseason, the New York faithful may have unfortunately seen the last of Brad Richards in a Rangers uniform.

She recently learned that her devoted fan base includes one Taylor Swift, when the pop sensation tweeted in March "One of the only unchanging things about my life in the last 10 years is my love of Paramore, Ingrid Michaelson, Fall Out Boy & Coldplay." That connection has only grown from there.
"And then I met her at an event," Ms. Michaelson says, "and we exchanged phone numbers and I said, 'If you want to come to my show in New York…' and she's like 'Of course, I'll come.' And she's so famous and busy, you don't expect people like that to show up, but she did, she came, and then she tweeted a very sweet tweet, and then everyone and their mother was like 'Ah!' That girl's got some power. She's got like 40 million followers on Twitter, so yeah, I think I got a lot more Taylor Swift fans as fans. They're very sweet."
She counts herself as a mutual fan.
"Her latest record has got some amazing pop songs and some really beautiful singer-songwriter songs. She's experimenting with different sounds and I think we have so many years of her, it's only going to get better and better."
suddenly I like Taylor Swift 50x more than I did three seconds ago

One cell-block at the Michigan City State Prison remains on lockdown Tuesday, five days after prison guards had to lock down the entire prison.
The lockdown came after a fight involving inmates from rival gangs.
At first the whole prison was affected, but now it is just the 300-inmate cell-block "B".
Two inmates in the fight that sparked the lockdown were hurt badly enough to need hospital treatment.
Prison officials say the cell-block will be locked down indefinitely while they investigate the fight.

Power Point - May 19, 2006
May 19, 2006
And they came to
-- Mark 11:15-17
The verses above describe one event in Jesus' life that lets us know just how He feels about those who worship Him improperly. Jesus displayed His power that day to show us how He values genuine worship.
Today, I want to ask you, when God looks at your life, does He see genuine worship or does He see a counterfeit? Does He see something real or is it phony?
The bottom line is that each of us was made to worship God. And until we realize the true purpose in life, which is to worship Him and enjoy Him forever, we'll always be floundering. We'll always be frustrated because worship is the central purpose of life!
It is impossible to be a productive, positive Christian without participating in meaningful, genuine worship!
And I'm not just talking about corporate worship. Worship is something more that what we do, worship is a lifestyle. It is an attitude that we carry with us day by day. It is an activity and an attitude that reveals the inner heart and recognizes the value we place on God in our lives. That's what worship is!
So today, let me challenge you to make your life a life of worship…an exclamation of the glory of our God!

The perception of harmony and dissonance is universal to all cultures. Stable or unstable combinations of tones evoke the very same feelings in people who have never heard "western" music as they do for those of us who grew up on a diet of Mozart, Sondheim or The Beatles. The reason for this common perception, according to Cook, is that the major or minor modality of musical chords is a direct consequence of the complex waveform of these pitch combinations. A recently clarified understanding of the factors that contribute to the sense of harmony makes it possible to describe the relation between acoustics and evoked emotions without using the arcane vocabulary of traditional music theory.

A Trailblazing Woman Leader
The only woman in U.S. history to be elected both governor and U.S. senator, Jeanne Shaheen is a truly remarkable leader. In her three terms as New Hampshire governor, she expanded access to kindergarten, required insurers to cover contraception, and repealed a 150-year-old law making abortion a felony. In the U.S. Senate, Jeanne recently pushed through an amendment bearing her name that requires federal health insurance plans to cover abortion for military women who are victims of sexual assault. She's also a key player in the fight to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act and establish pay equity for women.
Strengthening an Ailing Economy
As a former small business owner, Jeanne knows how to help entrepreneurs succeed and spur economic development. She's pushed through key bills, including the Small Business Jobs Act and Small Business Innovation Research program, and cosponsored legislation to help small businesses sell products overseas. Jeanne led the fight to extend unemployment benefits and mitigate foreclosure for struggling families, and has secured major funding to support veterans. From her post on the Energy Committee, she pushed for a national energy policy that would create jobs, cut costs for businesses and consumers, reduce pollution, and end subsidies for Big Oil.
A Top GOP Target
In 2008, Jeanne defeated a sitting GOP senator despite being heavily attacked and outspent. Now Republicans are looking for payback — and their right-wing, deep-pocketed allies are gearing up for another spending spree. They've even gone so far as to ship in a familiar opponent. Having lost his Massachusetts Senate seat to EMILY's List champion Elizabeth Warren in 2012, former Republican Senator Scott Brown has moved to New Hampshire to challenge Jeanne. Brown hasn't taken the time to change his Massachusetts license plates, but he thinks he can defeat a Senator with deep roots in the Granite State. EMILY's List already knows how to defeat Scott Brown and with the unified support from the EMILY's List community we can do it again and keep New Hampshire's champion for women and families in the Senate!

Chris creates a yard that literally goes from trash to treasure. The homeowners had been saving old bathtubs and coffee urns to use as planters, but simply didn't have time to create the eclectic yard of their dreams. Chris and his team tackle a huge clean-up project before they can begin designing the small backyard. They expand a tiny deck to be closer to a hot tub, redesign an outdoor shower, add a stone patio with a fire pit and extra seating, and create a unique rebar arbor that leads to a children's play area. To enhance the small yard's growing area, the team attaches planting pockets to the side of a garage and creates a beautiful vertical garden.

By now, you've probably heard that the JOBS Act passed. The "Jumpstart Our Business Startups," or JOBS Act, will allow entrepreneurs to crowdfund online to fund small businesses and startups. Plus, entrepreneurs can raise funds from non-accredited investors. The catch: The regulations aren't in place until the SEC review period is up in January 2013.
While the bill itself is effective immediately, still pending are how the sections that fall under the SEC scope will be regulated. The SEC has 270 days to focus on how to regulate the offerings targeting non-accredited investors. In the meantime, entrepreneurs will be able to crowdfund only to accredited investors beginning July 4, 2012.

Gravity – Official Teaser Trailer and Poster Released
Academy Award® winners Sandra Bullock ("The Blind Side," "The Proposal") and George Clooney ("Up in the Air", "Syriana") star in "Gravity", a heart-pounding thriller that pulls you into the infinite and unforgiving realm of deep space. The film was directed by Oscar® nominee Alfonso Cuarón ("Children of Men").
Gravity Teaser Poster
Bullock plays Dr. Ryan Stone, a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (Clooney) in command of his last flight before retiring. But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone—tethered to nothing but each other and spiralling out into the blackness.
The deafening silence tells them they have lost any link to Earth…and any chance for rescue. As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is left.
But the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space.
Gravity Teaser Trailer
"Gravity" was written by Alfonso Cuarón & Jonás Cuarón. Alfonso Cuarón and David Heyman (the "Harry Potter" films) are the film's producers. Chris deFaria ("Happy Feet Two") Nikki Penny ("Clash of the Titans") and Stephen Jones ("Knowing") served as executive producers.
The behind-the-scenes team includes multiple Oscar®-nominated cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki ("Children of Men," "The New World"); production designer Andy Nicholson (supervising art director "Alice in Wonderland"); editors Alfonso Cuarón and Mark Sanger (VFX editor "Alice in Wonderland"); and costume designer Jany Temime (the "Harry Potter" films). The effects were handled by Oscar®-nominated visual effects supervisor Tim Webber ("The Dark Knight") and Oscar®-winning special effects supervisor Neil Corbould ("Gladiator"). The music is by Steven Price ("Attack the Block").
Warner Bros. Pictures presents an Esperanto Filmoj/Heyday Films production, an Alfonso Cuarón film, "Gravity." Opening beginning October 18th, 2013, it will be released in 3D and 2D and IMAX®, and will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment company.

The point is that they have to break deflationary expectations. That is not the same as breaking deflation.

CORRECTION: Once the BoJ prints to pay government obligations like pensions, medical costs, public sector wages and local subsidies, inflation will really kick in.
The Japanese government owes more money than it can ever pay back. Its debts are roughly the same size as the US government's, but the US has an economy three times as big as Japan and a growing population.
The Japanese government has four ways to get out of this - tax more, spend less, default, or cause inflation to debase the currency.
They are trying to tax a bit more, but there are fewer and fewer people earning good salaries to be taxed and increases in consumption tax have to be eased in gradually to avoid stalling the economy.
The Japanese government doesn't spend that much compared to other rich countries, and what it does spend is increasingly linked to the needs of the elderly population. Not much room for cutting left.
Default by the government would cause total economic collapse, worse than anything seen in other defaulting countries because most Japanese government debt is held by Japanese retirees or people saving to retire. Defaulting on them would cause a total collapse of economic activity.
Inflation (otherwise known as a slow motion disguised default) is thus the only way out. Right now the BoJ is just printing money to buy bonds from banks or insurers, which doesn't work well since most of them just deposit the money back to the BoJ. Once the BoJ prints to pay government obligations like pensions, medical costs, public sector wages and local subsidies. The challenge then will be to control it and prevent a Zimbabwe scenario. At that point, it will be great to own stocks, real estate, commodities and foreign currency assets (especially if funded with borrowed money) and terrible to have cash, deposits or bonds.
Generally speaking, when the government is a borrower, you should be too.

White Lies - Better Than Us Video
Please wait while the video player loads..
"Better Than Us" Video Review
"Bigger Than Us" is the first single taken off White Lies' second album called "Ritual". The song sticks to the formula that made White Lies popular in the first place, and that is not a bad thing at all.
The video tells the story of a freakish accident that leaves a giant candy bar in need of resuscitation maneuvers, while a young boy (lip syncing with vocalist Harry McVeigh) struggles to get to the little girl who is captured in the candy bar.
By looking at the video, I'm very happy to see that more and more people are fighting against child obesity. If there was another point to the story, I'm very sure I had missed it.

As Tony has already said, yes there's a power-switching bus, using 3-core cables terminated in 3-pin AMP Mate-N-Lock connectors. The control part is in the 861 (or equivalent) power controller and consists of a small circuit board that drives a contactor (like a 3-pole power relay). Those controllers are 19" wide rack-mount units, usually 2U or 3U high. The "AUX" switch on the front of your 11/23+ can be used for this, but there are some jumpers on the panel that ought to be changed - or at least checked - if you do, because that AUX switch is also used to switch the LTC on and off. You should be able to find the printset for the front panel and see what the cables and jumpers do. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

Yup, that Hobby Lobby. The company that's taken their "deeply held" religious objection to contraception all the way to the Supreme Court. The company that thinks allowing their employees to get coverage for certain types of birth control through their insurance plans–plans, mind you, that the employees pay the premium on–amounts to subsidizing immorality. The company that pulls out the world's smallest violin as it earnestly cries that Obamacare is "forcing them to violate the law or violate their belief that life begins at conception – a choice no company should have to make."
Turns out that same Hobby Lobby has been offering "a generous company match" on an employee retirement plan that invests in the manufacturers of the very same contraception options it opposes so goddamn much. Mother Jones reports:
Documents filed with the Department of Labor and dated December 2012—three months after the company's owners filed their lawsuit—show that the Hobby Lobby 401(k) employee retirement plan held more than $73 million in mutual funds with investments in companies that produce emergency contraceptive pills, intrauterine devices, and drugs commonly used in abortions. Hobby Lobby makes large matching contributions to this company-sponsored 401(k). Several of the mutual funds in Hobby Lobby's retirement plan have holdings in companies that manufacture the specific drugs and devices that the Green family, which owns Hobby Lobby, is fighting to keep out of Hobby Lobby's health care policies: the emergency contraceptive pills Plan B and Ella, and copper and hormonal intrauterine devices.
These companies include Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, which makes Plan B and ParaGard, a copper IUD, and Actavis, which makes a generic version of Plan B and distributes Ella. Other holdings in the mutual funds selected by Hobby Lobby include Pfizer, the maker of Cytotec and Prostin E2, which are used to induce abortions; Bayer, which manufactures the hormonal IUDs Skyla andMirena; AstraZeneca, which has an Indian subsidiary that manufactures Prostodin, Cerviprime, and Partocin, three drugs commonly used in abortions; and Forest Laboratories, which makes Cervidil, a drug used to induce abortions. Several funds in the Hobby Lobby retirement plan also invested in Aetna and Humana, two health insurance companies that cover surgical abortions, abortion drugs, and emergency contraception in many of the health care policies they sell.
MoJo got the records for nine out of 24 of the funds in the retirement plan. Those nine funds make up three quarters of the plan's total assets, and all of them included evil birth control/abortion companies. In 2012, Hobby Lobby contributed $3.8 million to the plan. Another fun fact? The company's health insurance plans used to cover emergency contraception pills. They dropped them in 2012, which — totally coincidentally, I'm sure — happens to be when they decided to file a lawsuit against Obamacare.
As MoJo notes, not only is there no law forcing Hobby Lobby to invest in companies that peddle in baby-killing devices they abhor, there's a fairly well-known and common practice called faith-based investing that allows religious investors to screen out companies they object to. "But Hobby Lobby's managers either were not aware of these options or chose not to invest in them." Or, to be fair, perhaps they just haven't gotten around to it yet — after all, this "deeply held" belief of theirs seems to be all of two years old. I have belly button lint that is older and more dearly held.

1,000 Plasticine Collages Adorn Tame Impala's Psychedelic Music Video
In their second full-length album Lonerism, revivalist band Tame Impala taps into the progressive spirit of psychedelic rock, with its bright colors and mind-altering stimulation.
While their music video for "Feels Like We Only Go Backwards" does recall The White Stripes' spiraling "Seven Nation Army" video, its animation team takes the production value one step further. Using over 1,000 individually hand-crafted Plasticine collages, directors Joseph Pelling and Becky Sloan, along with Azusa Nakagawa and Theo Nunn, create a visual template to match the experimental sounds of the '60s and '70s.The result is a hypnotic montage of superior direction and exquisite detail.

C.E.T. HEXtra Premium Chews
C.E.T. HEXtra Premium Chews 103 103
My dogs look forward to their Chew sticks..They enjoy the chewing and it must taste good because they get so excited when I ask them"Are you ready for your stickie?" 10/11/2014
Loves it! My 20 lb. schnauzer loves these, but the size recommended is just too small for her to chew until it becomes an aid to her plaque build up and bad breath. She just snarfs them down like a treat. I'm sorry that I purchased such a large quantity, as they are way too costly for a treat. I counted on them being a "chewy" that she would gnaw on that would get some of her dental issues checked. 10/10/2014
My dog loves it Mid morning Molly wants me to go on the computer because that's when she begs for a chewy. She eats it so fast but then is very satisfied and doesn't bother me for awhile. 10/09/2014
Maggie didn't like these any better I had thought the C.E.T. HEXtra Premium Chews might appeal more to Maggie than the regular C.E.T. chews but unfortunately they didn't. Maybe they're just not "chewy" enough or flavorful enough (I'm not going to try them myself to see!). I don't know what I should try next to help with her doggy breath. 08/25/2014
Good stuff! My puppy loves these. The vet gave him one on our first visit as a treat and he has been chewing on it for a week! 08/06/2014

Is it ok to swallow almost whole?
My dog will chew for a little while but once it gets a little soft her goal is to swallow it whole.
I think a larger or thicker chew would cause her to chew more but they seem to be smaller and thinner now. Is it ok for her to swallow the chew while it's still almost whole? I'm afraid of them getting stuck in her system. That's why I usually wait a few days to give another. Would like to give daily but afraid they will clogged up her insides.

Choking hazard
Are these safe for my small dog? They are so hard I am afraid he is going to choke on them. Do I give him the whole strip? Should I break it into pieces? Or do these work in a way that will not be a choking hazard.?
Answer:ÂThank you for your question. You can give your dog the entire chew or you can break it into pieces. It is not a choking hazard for your dog, we suggest ordering the size that goes with the weight of your furry pal.

Where is this product made?
1 answer
what size chews should I order?
My little baby is a Minnie Wienie dog. The last bags of chews I got for her was the sticks. She loved them. She has since been fixed and has went up in weight to exactly 11.0 pounds? Should I stick with the sticks for petite dogs? I was going to order 2 bags. I give her one stick every 2 to 3 days. If she does happen to go up a couple of ounces in weight will it still be effective until I can order the next size? I am going to tryto keep her weight at 11 pounds or below. I am now measuring her food and the only treats I will be giving her will be these sticks? I will be walking her also, so I would rather get the smaller sticks instead of the one's for dogs that start at 11 pounds and go up to 30 pounds; would that be to much of the medicine on the sticks for herA?
Answer:ÂHi there,The sizes differentiate by weight so they do not become a choking hazard. You may want to order one bag at a time since the weight fluctuates for your Furry Friend. Also ask your vet, since he can determine by breed and also being he is familiar with your Furry Friend to give you the best answer.

Missing Texas 2-Year-Old Found Safe In Kansas

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - A 2-year-old Texas boy who had been reported missing in Texas on Thursday is safe after being taken to the Topeka police department.
Topeka Police Lt. Steve Taylor says the boy, Elijah Waggoner, was dropped off at a police station shortly early Friday. He says the boy appeared to be healthy. It was not immediately clear who brought the boy to the station.
Taylor said Elijah was taken without permission from Fort Worth, Texas.
Police are looking for a 16-year-old runaway, Leondray M. Sanders Jr., who was believed to be with the boy before the child was taken to the police station.

"Life the way you people want to live it is very difficult, Mr. Wade. You want 'less difficult'? Move to my country, study Hinduism. Meditate. Cultivate serenity. Much 'less difficult'.
You want to buy atomic bombs… I'm afraid that is a more difficult way of life."
— 'Short Scientist', The Losers
When I was younger, I wanted to be a Special Forces soldier.
Not because of the reality of the situation, but because of how it had been sexified. Learn hand to hand combat, shoot guns with unprecedented accuracy, save the world.
Be the hero. Save the day. Get the girl.
Become Jason Statham playing Jason Statham.
But the reality of the Special Forces soldier is not sexy. Far and beyond the duties they have, they have double the incidents of PTSD when compared to their non-Special Forces counterparts, the standard army units.
This is not a cost I'd like to bare, and not a story I want to take part in.
You Promised Me Sugar, But Gave Me Flour
It's easy to fall into the trap of drama.
For many people, it makes the world go around. First, they happily trade five days of their week doing something they hate (in some cases, to impress people they don't like) for two days of limited freedom. And then they complain about it on Facebook.
Maybe that's not you, but it's easy to get sucked into the drama. It's even a little bit addictive.
Over conversations with a few close friends, we've come up with a name for it.
Sexifying Reality.
The perfect kind of behaviour for when you dislike your daily life enough to bitch about it, but not enough to change it. So you sexify it, hoping to make it more engaging and interesting.
But like watching four seasons of Keeping Up With The Kardashians back to back, it drains you. Not only does it normalise drama (and make it an expectation for daily living to be important), but it drains the energy from your soul that could be used to change it up.
Like the effect of your brain on porn, your brain on drama is damaging to your everyday life. And the only way it can be reversed is by sexifying reality.
When Reality Just Isn't Sexy Enough, You Need Disenchantment
Life is unbelievably unsexy. And simple.
Ultimately, we're all just sophisticated animals who have progressed passed past 'eat, sleep, fuck and self defence' to the point where we attribute meaning to everything external… but fail to see the internal meaning in anything.
My favourite example of this is the Ideal Partner Paradox.
First, you start off by listing everything you want in your Ideal Partner:
- Attractive
- Mentally put together
- Financially stable
- Fit and healthy
- Etc
With list in hand, you kick your feet up on the coffee table as you recover from a hangover and wait for them to come to you.
When nothing happens, it's time to dive into the deeper reasoning that the Ideal Partner hasn't appeared — cultural impositions, the gender roles of society, work schedules, commitments and more.
The argument carries long enough for you to be disenchanted with the idea that life will play out a certain way, and repeat the cycle.
The catch here, however, is that you've used a complex answer when a simple one would've done:
You're not the kind of person that your Ideal Partner wants to be with, and you don't do the things that your Ideal Partner would seek in an Ideal Partner.
Of course, this applies to every other facet of your life, too.
If you're struggling to lose weight, but ignoring your diet while you train, it isn't that your gym performance isn't up to scratch (or that your job is stressing you out).
If you're looking to build your own business but can't close a contract, it might not be that everyone else doesn't see the value you're offering. You might just have something nobody is willing to pay for.
And if your day to day life sucks, because of your job or your social circle, calling everyone an asshole before drowning your sorrows for Friday Night Drinkies might not be the best way to address the problem.
The Long Hard Look At Night: If It Continues, It's Your Fault
At the end of each week, I have members of Your First Four Figure Client review their week that was.
What happened? Where did they succeed? Where did they fail? What will they keep doing? What should they stop doing?
The goal of this exercise is to make them take stock of their reality, and place themselves at the centre of their own universe.
Why? Because then they can take responsibility.
They can take responsibility for the good things they achieve. For the mistakes they make. And they'll always know the best place to lay the blame.
Because the best place to lay the blame is on yourself.
If something goes wrong, how could you have pre-empted it, avoided it or fixed it earlier?
If you aren't closing contracts, how could you improve your value proposition (or product) and deliver something a customer wants?
If the girls don't talk to you, is it because they're stuck-up… or because you need to improve your confidence, posture and personality?
You see, once you realise that a problem exists — no matter what part of your life it falls in — there's two paths you can take.
The first path is easy. You pass the buck, blame whatever happens on the easiest target, and continue to bitch.
The second path is a little more challenging. At the end of the day, you look at all the things you didn't like during the day and figure out how you caused them. And then, you stop doing the things that cause them.
The hardest part of breaking this down will be overriding the stories you tell yourself.
The Death Of The Self-Narrative
Humans are story tellers. Not only is this the current hot-trend amongst marketers, but it's a common theme from history.
Before we had the written word, we had oral traditions. We narrated the human experience to each other, and ourselves, through enchanting stories and detailed characters.
And while we've progressed to the Age of Wikipedia, we haven't left our love of stories behind.
Especially the kind that we use to manipulate our perception of reality.
Enter the Narrative Fallacy:
The narrative fallacy addresses our limited ability to look at sequences of facts without weaving an explanation into them, or, equivalently, forcing a logical link, an arrow of relationship upon them. Explanations bind facts together. They make them all the more easily remembered; they help them make more sense. Where this propensity can go wrong is when it increases our impression of understanding.
—Nassim Nicholas Taleb, The Black Swan
And again, in layman's terms?
We like to make up stories that put facts 'in a row'.
Because sometimes, it's easier to believe an impossible story built on a few small facts, than a realistic story built on one overwhelming piece of evidence.
This is where the sexification of reality takes place.
When you sexify your reality, you change it — and at times, you change it to a point well beyond perception. You create the narrative of your existence.
That narrative, for better or for worse, will guide your interaction with the world at large. Your perception of how the world treats you, and how the story of getting what you want should go, will determine your Sunday morning.
There in lies the challenge.
Armed with the knowledge that you narrate your own life, creating your own perception of it, what will you do next?
Will you tell yourself the same old story, and sexify your reality to make it something you can cope with?
Or will you look at reality for what it is, warts and all, and make your reality something you want to experience?
A Final 'Don't Forget' — You're Little More Than A Sophisticated Animal
Ignoring your ego for a moment, you're unlikely to matter in 1,000 years.
And you're going to make mistakes.
You're going to disappoint people.
You're going to fail.
You're going to lose.
You're going to suffer.
This is just a part of the emotional roller coaster that is life.
Enjoy the drama that comes with life, but don't feed off it.
And if you don't like something, figure out why it's your fault, what you can do about it, and get to work.

Almost half of Hull people expect to be able to pay by scanning their thumbprint in the year 2025, according to new research.
The Payments Council's education campaign, PayYourWay.org.uk, has collated the figures.
Looking beyond payments, Hull's most expected new invention in 2025 is a speech-enabled home, with 58 per cent, of people expecting to have their lights, ovens and computers triggered by speech.
More than a third of people expect self-driven cars to be available and it appears men are generally more positive than women about technology.
More than two thirds of men across the UK, 68 per cent, agree they are excited about how technology could improve their lives.

Britney Amber
If there's one thing Britney Amber knows, it's how to work the pole, so we set her up with a stripper's pole and Jordan Ash's big dick so she could show off all of her best moves. Britney teases us with her big tits and juicy butt before Jordan's dick makes its grand entrance. Britney gives him a super spitty and sloppy blowjob. Once she's done gagging on his fat cock, Jordan gives her a nice anal pounding, and she rides him until she's cumming hard. Her oiled up big tits bounce as she fucks that fat dick, and then she takes a big facial cumshot with a smile!
Chanel Preston, Britney Amber, and Helly Mae Hellfire wanted to do a good deed to celebrate Thanksgiving, so they invited some hobo named James Deen to come have dinner with them. What they didn't know, was that he was a huge pervert! Before their angry husbands had a chance to kick him out, James told his version of the original Thanksgiving: the version where Helly, Amber and Chanel were big-titted pilgrims who love to fuck! Those horny hotties sucked his dick, ate each other's wet pussies, and took turns fucking his big dick. Now that's a holiday worth celebrating!
Johnny wanted to marry into the richest family in the South. But first, he's going to have to pass a test. Can he spend two hours locked in a room with smokin' hot porn star Britney Amber without moving a muscle? Who knows. Is throwing his rod balls deep in Britney's sweet ass worth throwing away a shot at all those millions?
You just have to know where your talents are. Britney Amber was trying to be a magician, but she just wasn't cut out for it. A couple hecklers saved the day by telling her she could put on a better show just flashing her big tits. Britney stripped down and even tried her hand at pleasing the horny audience with a live-action sex show.
You can't see how exciting American history is from just reading a textbook. Xander can barely keep his eyes open taking notes on the bone-dry facts. When he dozes off, all the greatest eras in the nation's history come to life. Horny helpers Britney Amber, Brandy Aniston and Juelz Ventura guide this time-traveler through the home of the babes and the land of free-love!
Carrying on with its yearly tradition, famous free pornstars website porn-star.com has compiled the Top 100 Most Popular Pornstars of 2011, an actual ranking of the 100 most visited pornstars on the site in the past 12 months. Congratulations to Britney Amber who is ranked number 85!

U.S. watchdog says Google's Skybox deal raises commodity trade concern
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Consumer watchdog Public Citizen has called on U.S. regulators to conduct a review of Google Inc's recent acquisition of aerospace startup Skybox Imaging, concerned that Skybox's satellite technology may aid manipulation of commodity markets.
In a letter to federal energy and trading regulators on Friday, Public Citizen said that access to Skybox's satellite images of oil, gas and power infrastructure is already helping deep-pocketed firms such as banks and hedge funds "gain a financial trading intelligence advantage" in commodities.
Commodity traders already subscribe to Skybox data which includes satellite imagery of oil shipments, pipeline activities and storage sites, Tyson Slocum, director of Public Citizen's Energy Program, wrote in the letter addressed to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the Commodities Futures Trading Commission and the Federal Trade Commission.
Other firms such as Genscape also provide proprietary data to traders looking to get what edge they can in a competitive marketplace.
But with access to Google's huge customer base, Skybox's technology could exacerbate the kind of unfair advantage that already exists for bigger players.
"Federal regulators and Congress must take swift action to keep consumers from further harm at the hand of market participants seeking to exploit non-public information to the disadvantage of other traders," Slocum said.
Google declined to comment. Skybox was not immediately available for comment.
Historically, trading firms have purchased physical assets such as cargoes of oil or gas as part of their trading activities, but the kind of high-resolution cameras and satellite images that can track the route of a single car or person means owning infrastructure may no longer be necessary to garner knowledge of commodity markets.
"A non-public contract with Google can now provide the same competitive trading advantage," Slocum said.
The satellite imagery just means that some of the observation work traditionally performed by the "field scouts" can now be done more efficiently.
This story says that the trading houses may not need to own the commodity related infrastrucutre. However, billionaire inmvestors and large investiment houses are buying up huge tracts of farmland.
In fact, the Chinese are buying up farmland in countries all over the planet. Maybe the U.S. Defense Department should be looking into this situation? Food is becoming a "strategic" material.

To understand all the info above, check out our Site Facts Glossary.
Grades have no direct impact on the overall score.
Homo Emo is up for review today, and I frankly love the name of the site. It's clever and gets the point across pretty quickly. They feature emo boys, meaning kinda punk, alternative, goth dudes, generally skinny, in gay scenes. There's lots of solo masturbation action, plus some hardcore gay action as well. I like the combination of niches here as well, which helps the site stand apart. $30 a month gets you in the door and access to a couple other sites.
Pretty unique gay emo scenes.
The whole theme here is just interesting, and I doubt it was that hard to put together even. You take emo guys, which have a unique look and way about them, and just make sure they're gay. Then they can jack off, have their fun, fuck and suck their friends, and it makes for something a little different than the usual twink site.
Network access included.
You get access to just two other sites with your membership, but at least there's some bonus material. One is a gay site, one is an emo site, and they both fit the exact same niche very well here. Anything to help boost the numbers is a good thing in my opinion.
Other Good Stuff:
Quality could be better.
It's mostly the videos that need work, but I'd say they need a big jump up to keep up with the crowds. A jump to high definition would be ideal, though I don't think they've even maxed out their standard definition quality if you ask me. Anything to make them look better is good.
Minor Negatives:
The site itself is pretty basic, but the unique content should help carry them well.
Homo Emo doesn't stand out great on the general aspects of the site itself. The design and navigation aren't great, quality isn't good, updates are average, and the size is average. However, the unique emo gay scenes definitely help them stand out from the crowd. Given some time to grow, and maybe a bump up to HD quality, they could definitely do some good here. As it stands, it's great for what they offer, even if the site could use a few little upgrades.

October 25, 2014
CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) - Miami football player Dyron Dye is standing behind claims he made in his affidavit that an NCAA investigator threatened his eligibility in a 2011 interview.
In a statement released to The Associated Press, Dye's attorney, Darren Heitner, says that his client will meet with the NCAA again in the coming days with hopes of playing this fall.
Dye will be a redshirt senior this season, and needed surgery after injuring his Achilles on the final day of Miami's spring practice period.
The NCAA has told Miami that it has found discrepancies between what Dye told them in 2011 and with what he wrote in an affidavit supporting the case of former Hurricanes assistant coach Aubrey Hill, who is fighting an unethical conduct charge.

text: I'm not a big fan of sodas... but one reason i drove to Pennsic 2007 and then home again, home again, jiggety jig, was to buy Dr. Pepper made in Texas with pure cane sugar (2 cases for myself and 4 for some friends). I don't know if any other ingredients in it are corn based, it's certainly not 100% natural, but cases can be ordered from a website http://www.dublindrpepper.com The flavor is so very much better than the commonly available version with HFCS. Also, here in California - and i assume states south and east of us (AZ, NM, TX...) - one can get sodas made in Mexico with cane sugar. And many of the cosmically groovy sodas in the "health food store" are made with sugar, not corn sweetener. Not claiming Kosherhood for them, but should work for a corn-free Lent, if one feels the need for soda pop. -- Urtatim (that's err-tah-TEEM) the persona formerly known as Anahita My LibraryThing http://www.librarything.com/catalog/lilinah

Unusual Fruit Review: Yellow Raspberries
A long-planned but heretofore unseen feature on this blog, the Unusual Fruit (and Veg) review section will take a look at some of the out of the ordinary produce available to buy in the UK. From the formidable dragon fruit to the golden kiwi, I'll be taking the plunge and spending my monies to determine whether they're exquisite delicacies or best left alone.
First up in this new series is the yellow (or, to be properly middle class, amber) raspberry, available in selected branches of Waitrose. Slightly more expensive than the regular red variety (and also the only ones in the shop when I visited), the packaging promises a distinctive and delicate flavour experience.
Unfortunately, it turns out that 'delicate' is actually just a code word for 'more bland and less flavoursome' than a regular raspberry. Combining them with chocolate sauce and cake certainly helped (when doesn't it?), but on their own, they were hardly a stand-out taste experience. A novelty and a talking point, perhaps, but unlikely to supplant regular raspberries on anyone's favourite fruit list.
2012: The year of Hitchcock biopics
Ever since Paul Merton's documentaries opened my eyes to the work of Alfred Hitchcock, I've eagerly partaken of as many of his films as I could get my hands on. But in 2012, I got the chance to take my interest to a new meta-level, with the release of not one, but two Hitchcock biopics, each focusing on a different slice of the great director's career. But would they prove to be a worthy investment on time, or just a cash-in on a big name? Continue reading
Life of Pi
Piscine Molitor 'Pi' Patel's enjoyed life at his family's zoo in India – but when he turned sixteen, financial worries saw his father turning his sights to a new life in Canada. With the zoo sold, the Patel family and their remaining animals began a long voyage across the ocean, only for the ship to run into trouble en route. Stranded in a lifeboat with only wild animals for a dubious and dangerous kind of company, Pi can only do his best to survive and await rescue.
Most of the time, I review films that I hate – simply because it's fun to rant about them. But to provide balance, and prove that I don't hate all films, I shall interject with occasional reviews of those I enjoyed. As it turns out, Life of Pi is one such film. Continue reading
An utterly spoilerific review of Star Trek Into Darkness
I love Star Trek. As a committed geek, I spent my teenage years watching the films and every episode of the first four TV series, collecting tie-in novels, magazines, figures and of course getting mocked by various classmates. Then Enterprise came along during my university years, and, well, the less said about that, the better. After four seasons of that, it felt like Star Trek needed a rest, and indeed, for a while, it went away.
Then the reins of the franchise were handed over to JJ Abrams, and in 2009 we got a bright, flashy reboot, replete with action, in-jokes and excessive lens flares. It wasn't quite Star Trek, it erased the timeline I knew and loved, and the more you analysed it, the more flawed it became – but overall, it was pretty enjoyable nonetheless. Would Star Trek Into Darkness offer more of the same? Continue reading
Cat-based Video Games
I love cats. I love every kind of cat. I just want to hug all of them, but I can't. Can't hug every cat. What I can do, though, is play games about cats.

PHOENIX – Prior to Saturday night's game in Phoenix, Dallas Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said about everything he could to note his team was prepared for the upstart Suns.
"They're legit," Carlisle said.
Asked about former Dallas swingman and current Phoenix bench microwave Gerald Green, Carlisle reflected on the youngster growing up as a Mav, moving to Europe and then finding his way back to the NBA. And he was aware of Green's success thus far in Phoenix.
"He can get hot," Carlisle said.
Uh, yeah. Green scored 22 points in a 123-108 Suns win just a night after scoring 19 and helping the Suns overcome a 21-point deficit in the Mile High air of Denver.
Like it's been across the league, games have been hard to predict. Aside from the elite and the tanking that Phoenix surprisingly isn't a part of, the middle-ground is hazy. Tiers have yet to be sorted out and even within games — as the Suns showed against the Nuggets — there are inconsistencies easily found. Hence all the wacky comebacks.
Carlisle attempted to analyze the current NBA. You could blame the CBA of 2011 for the parity, "if you want to come up with something," he said. "But the truth is, NBA games are long."
But there were no comebacks in store on Saturday for Dallas, which made several pushes but couldn't get over the hump against a Suns squad that only got better as the game grew old.
"There's a lot of this stuff going on in the league right now," Carlisle added. "It's not an excuse.
"I think I had the same quote last year."
From some fun pregame quotes to the pregame questions.
How does the Suns starting unit respond?
They responded as if they were rested, because they certainly didn't put forth the best effort on Friday night against Denver. Phoenix led 38-25 after the first quarter thanks to nine points from Bledsoe, seven from P.J. Tucker and six from Channing Frye. But it was against the bench unit that made the huge difference. Gerald Green scored 12 first-quarter points on three three-pointers and three foul shots – if you couldn't guess, those were on a three attempt as well.
Tucker started out the second half with a transition bucket plus the foul, then hit a corner three-pointer in front of the Mavs bench. Taking from one of Dragic's own left corner threes earlier on this year against Golden State, Tucker shot a glare the way only he could back at the Dallas bench as a timeout was called.
It summed up the Suns' swagger that shined bright as it did at the end of the Denver game. Tucker finished added 16 points, seven boards and four assists.
Overall, Bledsoe had the greatest rebound game of all. He scored 25 to go with six assists and hit his fair share of pull-ups along with three three-pointers.
Does Monta Ellis catch fire?
Ellis and Dirk Nowitzki got their fair share of shots but for the most part Phoenix made it tough, holding the duo to 15-of-34 shooting and 40 points. Frye had the tough task of chasing around Nowitzki to start things and, relative to the success had by Markieff Morris and Tucker when they were facing the German one-on-one, did well outside of getting into foul trouble.
The only real problem for Phoenix was lanky big Brandan Wright, who had 19 points and four blocks off the bench.
Does the back-to-back favor young legs, old legs, or neither?
The Suns showed their young legs and it was pretty clear they talked about pushing the gas pedal to the floor out of the halftime break. They scored 20 points in the first 7:38 of the third quarter before a brief lull with the bench unit.
Things got kicked up a notch once again in the forth, where the Suns scored 32 and increased their shooting percentage for the game from 45.7 percent heading to the fourth to 51.2 for the game.

In early 2013, NIEHS and NTP announced a plan to make significant changes to the focus and priorities of both NICEATM and ICCVAM (see editorial by NIEHS and NTP Director Linda Birnbaum, Environmental Health Perspectives, February 2013). These changes will better align ICCVAM and NICEATM with the vision laid out by the National Academy of Sciences in the 2007 National Research Council report Toxicity Testing in the 21st Century: A Vision and a Strategy.
ICCVAM welcomed the opportunity to work with NICEATM to forge a new direction forward, and developed a document describing the initial steps towards this goal. The document discussed:
In addition, ICCVAM stated the intent of member agencies to take a more active role in priority setting and operations of the Committee and to devote more effort to fewer focus areas.
ICCVAM made "A New Vision and Direction for ICCVAM" available in draft form for comment in September 2013. Attendees at that month's meeting of the Scientific Advisory Committee on Alternative Toxicological Methods discussed the document and proposed initial steps.
ICCVAM's mission is to facilitate development, validation, and regulatory acceptance of new and revised regulatory test methods that reduce, refine, and replace the use of animals in testing while maintaining and promoting scientific quality and the protection of human health, animal health, and the environment.
ICCVAM's goal is to
