I enjoyed your best reviews thread so much I decided to join in with a related but different thread.
What was your best ever camping experience and why???
Mine was Custer State Park, SD last year. I have never seen a park as nice as Custer. Even making reservations was easy. Their web site has a picture of each campsite. If you are like me and don't back so good you can eliminate sites with obstacles such as trees or large boulders.
Check in was breeze. Our site was long, shaded and private. The staff was numerous, visible and helpful. Then there were the extras you normally don't expect like being delayed en route to the visitors center by a herd of bison; the doe with twin fawns who grazed near our camp site; and the not very wild burros who begged for handouts along the Wild Life Trail. There were several man made amenities not usually found at state parks such as a store and several historical lodges/cabins. And it gets better. What can top Mount Rushmore as a nearby attraction? However, the Badlands, Wall Drug Store in Wall, SD and Deadwood, SD were certainly close runner ups. We were so busy visiting these attractions we only had time to hike one trail in the park. On that hike we saw several deer and a flock of wild turkeys. We have to go back again just to hike the park trails. The entire park and the little town of Custer were magical places.

This is a tough thing to figure out. Right now, I have to go with 4 camping trips, NOT listed in order;
Lake George Evergreen Escape Campground, Lake George, New York. Large, expensive campground with LOTS for a family to do, and you can explore the Lake George area. When our kids were young (pre-teen) we just had a great time there, both times we went.
Fort Wilderness, Disney World, Florida. Yea, kind of a gimme, but this is a spectacularly run campground, attached to the best (I think) family resort in the world. Best to pay in advance, and not look at the bills...
Blackwoods Campground, Acadia, Maine. No hookups, and difficult for a large camper to get into. But... Acadia is a beautiful place to hike, while also allowing you (if necessary, or you just want to) to drive to most of the beautiful spots in the area. Don't underestimate Acadia! Trails look very short and easy on the map, but it is mostly hills / climbing type hiking. Also, one of our trips here we stayed with another family and had a great time, including a fantastic seafood boil dinner at our campsite.
River Bend Campground in Oneco, Connecticut. Doesn't have the best facilities, only one medium size pool, dirt roads, sites aren't all that big... BUT, we ALWAYS have the best time here! Well run campground with great, polite management. Seems like all the campers are in a good mood. Tons of dogs all over the campground, but everyone seems to pickup after their dogs and keeps them under control. This campground just seems to have great "atmosphere".

Michael Owen reveals secret for an in-form and happy Wayne Rooney
7/11/13 in Soccer | JamesSmith23 | 1413 respect
Wayne Rooney hasn't put pen to paper for a contract renewal at Manchester United nor has he announced his desire to stay at the club, yet the Englishman is speculated to extend his stay at Old Trafford. The new Manchester United manager David Moyes and veteran Rio Ferdinand have made strong statements about Wayne Rooney committing to the Red Devils, so it appears as if the Premier League champions won't lose their coveted striker. The question before them now is whether they will find Wayne Rooney out of form or at his best?
The 27-year-old England international, who handed in his second transfer request in the past three years soon after Sir Alex Ferguson retired, has been unable to perform consistently. Moreover, the notorious "purple patch" of Wayne Rooney, a string of matches where he records miserable performances before slowly growing into form, has made Manchester United fans and officials impatient with the versatile forward.
Former Manchester United forward Michael Owen understands the problems Wayne Rooney is going through. Michael Owen, who was the last Englishman to win the Ballon d'Or, experienced an early end to his football career. Controversial moves and nagging injuries destroyed Michael Owen's career soon after he left Liverpool. Michael Owen believes the set of problems Wayne Rooney is facing are all linked to the relationship between the club and the player. The former England international believes if Wayne Rooney feels wanted and loved at Manchester United, the striker can return back to form.
Following the signing of Robin van Persie, Wayne Rooney found himself tumbling down the pecking order. The striker lost his position in the attack and was even benched at times. David Moyes has promised to restore order of Wayne Rooney's career at the club. Michael Owen believes Wayne Rooney can become Manchester United's "main man" once again, but the striker will have to feel loved by his club.
"I don't think it's a case that it's his last chance for a big move, you don't get anywhere bigger than Manchester United," Michael Owen told talkSPORT. "It's more a case of, is he wanted, is he loved, is he appreciated? He wants to be the top man, the main goalscorer, and I think that's what it all boils down to.
"I think one thing that may have knocked him off his stride a bit last season was Robin van Persie coming in and becoming the main man. If you're the striker in a team for so long you like having that pressure it puts you under, and when someone comes in and gets picked ahead of you on certain occasions, it knocks your confidence a bit and consequently he's not feeling on top of the world.
"He wants to be scoring goals on a regular basis for Manchester United. If that's going to happen then he'll be more than happy to stay. His ideal situation would just to be back in the United team, feeling at the top of his game again and staying put.
"Why would he want to move away from a club like Manchester United? But they've got a new manager now, so hopefully [David] Moyes and Rooney will be on the same page he'll be back and banging the goals in next year."

Forums MaxMSP
Trial download authorisation/activation
Viewing 3 posts - 1 through 3 (of 3 total)
Hey guys,
I just downloaded the MSX/MSP 30 day trial but Im unsure how to authorise it.
I dont have an iLok, so I tried to do the internet activation, anf it asks for my serial number – which i dont have, as I have no other max products.
I tried the manual activation and it come up with a challenge, which requires a response… What on earth is this?!
Ive tried to search for information about it, but I have found nothing, or at least, no explanation of what it is/what to do.
Any help you could give me would be so wonderful
i believe the demo is ilok-only, but i could also be wrong.
you might try support@ and get an official response. :)
Demo runs fully featured for 30 days. I get all my students to try it now so they can consider switching away from PD.
If it won't run, then probably it was previously installed on that machine and the 30 days expired.

Before each detonation, all participants were evacuated from target vessels and the Bikini Atoll to locations at least 10 nautical miles away.
Shot ABLE was released from the air on 1 July 1946, detonating about 1750 feet off target and sinking five ships. Most surviving target ships were reboarded within 24 hours. Activities in preparation for BAKER, including vessel inspection, instrument recovery, and remooring, continued on schedule.
On 25 July 1946, the detonation of BAKER created such pressure under water that huge splashes from the bottom of the lagoon sprayed radioactive water and debris over most of the target fleet. This limited the possible activities on target ships, such as physical inspections or pickup of the recorder and measurement devices. In early August, efforts began to decontaminate the fleet by intensive washing of ship surfaces; all boarding parties were accompanied by radiological monitors, who were responsible for identifying and limiting exposure to radiation. DNA describes radiological supervision in its fact sheet (1984):
All CROSSROADS operations were undertaken under radiological supervision intended to keep personnel from being exposed to more than 0.1 roentgen per day. At the time, this was considered to be an amount of radiation that could be tolerated for long periods without any harmful effects on health.
Radiological supervision included predicting areas of possible danger, providing trained personnel equipped with radiation survey instruments to act as guides during operations involving potential exposure, and elaboration of rules and regulations governing conduct in these operations. Personnel were removed for one or more days from areas and activities of possible exposure if their badges showed more than 0.1 R/day exposure
About 15 percent of the JTF 1 personnel was issued at least one of the 18,875 film-badge dosimeters during CROSSROADS. Approximately 6,596 personnel were on islands or ships that had no potential for radiation exposure. Personnel anticipated to be at greatest radiological risk were badged, and a percentage of each group working in less contaminated areas was badged. The maximum accumulated exposure recorded (was 3.72 R received by) a radiation safety monitor[ing person].
This report discusses radiation measurement and dosimetry at length in Chapter 8.
Support ships were soon registering contamination, arising from radioactive marine growth on hulls and radioactive water being piped through ships' systems. Between 10 August and the end of September 1946, target ships were towed to Kwajalein Atoll, where the water was uncontaminated, for ammunition off-loading and further work.
Most target vessels were eventually sunk in the area, but 12 ships were reboarded by their crews and sailed to the U.S., and others were towed to the U.S. and Hawaii for radiological inspection. Before returning to the fleet,

2013/14 Season Review: Mark Letestu
#487482151 / gettyimages.com One of the main reasons the Columbus Blue Jackets made the playoffs this season is due to its depth. In year's past the team would never get the production from their 3rd and 4th lines necessary to relieve the pressure off of their main scorers. This year with only Ryan Johansen stepping up to have an elite year the scoring had to be doled out by a...

The "Right" Height for Dining Room Lighting
When it comes to things like what height to hang dining room lighting, there's not exactly a strict right and wrong. There are standards, but aren't those made to be deviated from? Let's take a look.
The standard height for hanging a chandelier or pendant lamp over the dining table is 30 inches from the tabletop. But then again, rules are made to be broken. The fixture in my home, for example, is 36 inches above the tabletop. I like this height, as it puts the fixture at 5 feet, 6 inches above the floor — just high enough for me to walk under if the room is rearranged.
I've heard of others placing dining table lighting at 6-feet for that same reason, but I find that a little too high above the tabletop for my taste.
Do you know the height of your dining room lighting? Know the rhyme or reason for how it got there?

As long as there's enough light to eat and live by, and it looks all right, what does height matter?
Our tiny little galley kitchen has a dining room with a ceiling fan, so it's pretty high above the table. Yeah, it doesn't exactly scream "shelter porn," but it's serviceable, and it lets us put the table wherever we want in the small space (currently against a wall) without worrying about light placement.
I think our pendant light is at six feet from the floor. Not sure how many inches above the table. 30 inches seems so low to me...would you be able to see around the light at the person across the table from you? Maybe I am not visualizing this correctly...my in-laws have a low light above their table and it drives me nuts not being able to see the person across from me.
My husband complains constantly about dining room lights being hung too low. He's 6'1" so maybe it looks different to him (I'm 5'4"). When we can agree on a light hopefully he'll also agree to a 70" from the floor drop. I'm not going any higher.
I've actually gone slightly lower, as I remember coming across a designer segment, and the consensus was 27-30", optimally 28".
Of course, it depends on your fixture... if it is a solid one, especially metal, or if it is particularly wide...
We were going to hang some pendant lights after moving a friend (with good design taste) said oh, too bad, these ceilings are two low for pedant lights. Any advice over how tall the ceiling needs to be? Normal sized lights.
I currently have a ceiling fan without a light fixture in my dining room. I keep going back and forth on whether to install a light fixture or replace the fan with a hanging light. I'm leaning towards the first option as the fan provides air circulation during the hot days of summer and actually matches the decor fairly well.
+JENN_Y I think an idea would be to hang several pendants. One main one at 30" above the table, and then the others above that to lower the visual ceiling height (at 8' perhaps).
Ha. We removed the light fixture over our table shortly after we moved in. The people who designed the kitchen put a florescent light over the table. Grr. We're not fans of florescent. And then, to make matters worse, the previous light fixture wasn't in the middle of the dinning room, so they cut a hole in the cedar paneling of the ceiling (which is very pretty) and ran wires underneath it from the original box with all the wires. Their florescent light covered both holes nicely. :(
Currently, if we need light there, we have a table lamp set up on the antique file cabinet. It's not great, but it's better than what it was. And we keep thinking that the exposed holes will encourage us to put up a new light sooner than later, but it's been two years & we haven't found anything we like within our budget.

Pleural Effusion
You have a pleural effusion. This means you have fluid in the space between your lung and your chest wall. This condition may result from many different problems including:
Pleurisy or inflammation of the lining of the lung.
Lung infections such as pneumonia.
Blood clots, heart disease, chest injuries, cancer, and other medical problems.
A pleural effusion may not cause any symptoms. If it is large, however, it can make you short of breath. Other symptoms include cough, chest pain, or fever. The diagnosis of a pleural effusion is most often made by chest X-ray, CT, or ultrasound studies. A sample of the fluid can be taken using local anesthetic and a needle or catheter placed between the ribs. This procedure may be needed to determine the cause of the effusion, or to treat a large effusion.
Treatment is specific to the cause, such as antibiotics for infections. Mild pain or anti-inflammatory medicines may be helpful in relieving symptoms. Chronic effusions often have to be periodically drained. It is very important that you see your doctor or a specialist to be sure the effusion is not from a serious medical condition. A follow-up chest X-ray is usually needed.
You develop shortness of breath.
You develop increased pain.
You develop a high fever.

A tough lesson in the software world, and a sobering reminder. Also a statistical truth (not mathematical, though.)
If you ever read about or studied probability theory, process control theory, quality assurance (modelling, predictability, reasonability, etc.), clinical trials, or just about any kind of applied science, you know that this is both theoretical truth, and empirically proven. You can always make improvements that tend towards correctness. But the only way to reach absolute perfection, is to never conduct the experiment at all.
There is no way to ever reduce false positives to zero, nor reduce false negatives to zero. This is why we have acceptance criteria. Cars today are safer than they were a decade ago. But the only way you ensure you are always absolutely safe in a car, is to never sit in one. It sounds counter-intuitive and difficult to grasp.
I recently read an article about the expensive experiment that OOP was, and while you may disagree with the article, you will notice the True Scotsman fallacy.
Sidebar: Why doing what you can do, instead of what you need to do, makes for great religion, but rarely useful.
I make fun of the mystics and snakecharmers, but one thing a yoga guru once said to me ten years ago, and what seemed like a dumb thing at the time, holds true for so many adults. He gave the example of the person who has lost their keys outdoors, but are searching for the keys indoors because that's where the light is. They are virtuous because they are at least doing something, unlike me, who is making the smartass observation that they will never find the key indoors because that's not where they lost it.
Why do I equate it with religion? Because religion allows you to do anything, and always be right. Need to feed the hungry? Sure. Need to NOT feed the hungry? Sure. Support gays? Sure. Not support gays? Sure. Invade Jerusalem? Sure. Defend against invaders? Sure. Forgive people? Sure. Not forgive people? Sure.
This has always been my observation with "frameworks", "patterns", "best practices" and especially, "testing". You can write a few hundred tests that do nothing, or you can write one test that guarantees correctness. But if you're having system problems, and you're doubling-down on writing more tests, you're looking indoors because that's what you know how to do, instead of searching for the keys outdoors where you dropped them. It is exceptional religion. Also exceptionally useless. None of the above can fix a problem, and if you're just about thinking of saying, "Well, what would you have me do? I have to do something!", then you and I both know you're lying.
Interesting note: Doing something is not necessarily bad. It is psychologically very helpful in fact. CPR rarely works as often as they show in the movies. Neither do defibrillators. The first thing they teach you in a first-aid class, is that CPR is 95% for the psychological protection of the rescuer, and 5% for the benefit of the victim. It helps you avoid PTSD because you had the illusion of agency – you acted, you did something!
This is why there are very few people in our industry who can really critically cut down to things that ARE important and those that ARE NOT. Remember that because something is NOT important doesn't mean you go around sending a wave of crusaders to destroy it – another wholly inaccurate interpretation most people make.
Ask anyone about ACID consistency, or scalability, or correctness. Is testing important? YES! Is scaling important? YES! Is reliability important? YES! Are ALL requirements important? YES! Is there something you can live without? NO! Alright – someone's lying. One of the above is most certainly NOT true.
When I'm reading documentation, or looking for tools to use, the biggest red flag I look out for, is when a system has made no compromises. Knowing that such a thing is theoretically impossible, I'm probably dealing with someone in denial – which is worse, because that means, like a religious zealot, I have no ability to hold a critical discussion with them. This isn't so difficult to find. Can an iPhone be improved? Unless you live under a rock, the builder of the iPhone, Apple, releases improvements every year. Ask any fan of Apple the same question – you'll get the same answer, "No!". Guess which of them is lying? Can Android be improved? Can Java be improved? Can Linux be improved? On that last note, you'll find Linus himself laying down a whole host of things he wished he'd had. He's well aware of the compromises he's made in the kernel, and he continues to make – and he publishes them too. 10 points if you figured out which of them gives me the best confidence that I'm dealing with the right person.
People have been wrong in the past, and people will continue to be wrong, long after we are gone. I have changed my mind about so many things, so often, its not even funny. The only reasonable change we have of building a good system, is by recognizing the compromises we make. As I wrote in my last entry, I'm available to give you hugs if "compromising" somehow diminishes your self-identity.
If you're going to tell me that you want everything, perfect, all the time, I'm not putting my faith in you. Either you're lying to me, which is bad, or you're in denial, which is worse.

Whether you are a small business that is just starting out or you are a large business that wants to leverage its appeal to a broader audience, you need to think about Facebook marketing. Social media marketing looks wonderful at the outset. It allows you to reach people in a way that is personal and intimate, and on top of that, it is often easy to get started. However, there are drawbacks that must be considered, and it is essential to realize that there are detrimental mistakes that you could be making on Facebook. Make sure that you are aware of these eight basic mistakes that could quickly derail your Facebook marketing plans.
Mistake 1: Lack of Time
While Facebook is very fast on a post by post basis, you also need to think about how it looks over time. It is easy to start a social media campaign, but keeping it going day to day takes time. Make sure that you budget at least a small amount of time every day to keep up on your social media.
Mistake 2: Posting Too Quickly
One of social media's most positive attributes is that it is so quick, but the truth is that that quickness can surprise the unwary. Failing to think before you post can make you a laughingstock, or it can make people very angry at you. Be sure that you know what you are posting or re-posting before you do so.
Mistake 3: Lack of Theme
One thing that people look for in a company is theme. They want to know who you are, and they want to have a very good idea of what you are like. Part of the fun of social media is letting them know more about your personality. Make sure that you are consistent in terms of theme and temperament with regards to your personality.
Mistake 4: Unwise Friending
Some companies choose to friend everyone who friends them back on Facebook, while others are more choosy. Remember that the people you choose to follow and friend reflect on you. Be sure that you know who they are before you invest in them.
Mistake 5: Grammar and Spelling Mistakes
Even on social media, where there are plenty of abbreviations and slang, you need to maintain good grammar and good spelling. This is especially true if you want to make sure that you portray yourself in a professional way.
Mistake 6: Slow Responses
Remember that people like responses, and the responses make the best impression when they are prompt. Too many people let their responses slide, and if you are someone who is deeply invested in making a good impression, you cannot do this. This is why it is important to have someone take responsibility for your social media.
Mistake 7: Poor Responder Choice
Who is responding to the people out there? You want to make sure that the person who is running your social media campaign is smart, discreet and savvy. They should be professional at all times, and even if you trust them completely, make sure that people are looking over their work on a regular basis.
Mistake 8: Repetitive Content
People are on Facebook like to see something new. If they are just seeing the same old content over and over again, they will not be interested in what you have to say. Check your output over the last few months. If you are just repeating yourself, it is time for you to think about how you can broaden your horizons.
A social media marketing program can be the start of something wonderful for your company, so be sure that you avoid the simple basic mistakes!

Over the past few years there has been a noticeable increase in online shopping from overseas real and virtual stores given the relative strength of the Aussie dollar. This has had a direct impact on domestic retail sales. Economics tells us that competition is a good thing, it drives down prices. So the result has been increased sales in local stores, earlier sales than the usual time periods and price matching to attract customers to local stores. With increased online purchasing and less shopping in traditional retail outlets, many smaller businesses have lost sales and profits, and have had to close down. Meanwhile, rising rents have driven out small businesses leaving many shops empty.
One novel solution to the increased number of empty stores and lack of willingness to sign long leases has been the rise and rise of pop-up stores. Temporary (meaning a few days, a week, a month or a few months), short-term stores set up for a range of reasons. For example: selling out stock or getting a foot hold in a new market or testing out certain product ranges, or well known stores trying out new locations or turning over their stock (eg: Myer has a pop-up site at Southern Cross station to sell last-minute small items) or online stores setting up short term to connect with their customers. There are also international brands seeking to increase brand awareness in Australia using pop-up stores. (eg: Japan's UniQlo has set up in Swanston Street, Melbourne). There are lots of reasons businesses have taken to pop-up shops! (The Age. Pop-up stores back with a bang. Carolyn Cummins. 27/1/2014) In many cases, online stores also want to have physical presence. Pop up stores enable them to do so.
Businesses using the pop-up shop model may stay on in that store if they achieve short term success, or simply be happy to stay short term once their objectives are met. If business doesn't do well then they are not stuck with a long term lease. Either way, pop-up stores help decrease retail vacancy rates.
Pop psychology?
Pop-up shops create a sense of urgency amongst customers to stop by and check them out. (source: http://www.business.vic.gov.au/tips-and-case-studies/popping-up-for-success-pop-up-shops) A temporary store, selling products at bargain prices with a high turn-over of stock attracts customers in to the store. "The pop up shops philosophy is 'here today, gone tomorrow, be quick (and tell your friends)'. (http://popupshopsmelbourne.com.au/pop-up-retail/pop-up-shops-popping-up-all-over-town-but-why/) The sense of urgency that these temporary spaces offer along with unexpected locations and fit-out, sometimes guest appearances and entertainment, all add to the excitement for the customer.
Increased online shopping
Online retailing has changed the face of the Australian retail sector, representing a paradigm shift in the way consumers make transactions. While the industry is in its infancy, both technologically and monetarily, it has grown dramatically over the past five years, to become part of the mainstream consumer's psyche. This has been aided by the equally rapid growth in internet and broadband penetration, combined with an acceptance of electronic commerce as a viable and safe alternative to traditional bricks-and-mortar retailing. The pace of technological change and ease of access has been a key enabler of the increased trend in online shopping. (http://www.ibisworld.com.au/industry/default.aspx?indid=1837)
In the year to November 2013, Australians spent $14.6 billion on online retail. This level is equivalent to 6.4% of spending with traditional bricks & mortar retailers (excluding cafés, restaurants and takeaway food to create a like-for-like comparison) in the year to October. (NAB data: http://business.nab.com.au/online-retail-sales-index-indepth-special-report-november-2013-5445/)
57% Australian online shoppers have increased their level of spending over the last 12 months via mobile devices
55% Online shoppers indicated lower prices as the reason they shop online (up from 50% in 2011)
59% Online shoppers who purchased from offshore retailers indicated that lower prices were the main reason (up from 53% in 2011)
Source: http://www.pwc.com.au/industry/retail-consumer/assets/Digital-Media-Research-Jul12.pdf
Some of the factors influencing online buying offshore are: lower relative prices offshore, increased variety and ability to compare prices here and offshore, increased use, uptake and familiarity with technology, increased advertising using all mediums, ease of transactions, no import tax on goods valued less than $1000 brought into Australia,.

Clemens named AL Cy Young Award winner
Clemens wins record sixth Cy Young
Gaylord Jackson Perry (born September 15, 1938 in Williamston, North Carolina) is a former Major League Baseball right-handed pitcher. He pitched from 1962-1983 for eight different teams in his career. During a 22-year baseball career, Perry compiled 314 wins, 3,534 strikeouts, and a 3.11 earned run average. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1991.
Perry, a five-time All-Star, was the first pitcher to win the Cy Young Award in each league, winning it in the American League in 1972 with the Cleveland Indians and in the National League in 1978 with the San Diego Padres. He is also distinguished, along with his brother Jim, for being the second-winningest brother combination in baseball history—second only to the knuckleballing Niekro brothers, Phil and Joe. While pitching for the Seattle Mariners in 1982, Perry became the fifteenth member of the 300 win club.
Despite Perry's notoriety for doctoring baseballs (throwing a spitball), and perhaps even more so for making batters think he was throwing them on a regular basis – he even went so far as to title his 1974 autobiography Me and the Spitter – he was not ejected for the illegal practice until August 23, 1982, in his 21st season in the majors.

Road project includes fence to protect birds
The widening of El Camino Real where it weaves through the river valley has begun. This current portion of widening, from Sea Country Lane to San Dieguito Road, is a separate project from the city's widening project that could eventually widen and re-align El Camino Real from San Dieguito to Via de la Valle and replace the aging bridge over the San Dieguito River.
While the city's project is still being studied, including the option to add roundabouts, construction on the Sea Country Lane to San Dieguito Road portion of widening began on March 1. With the widening came a sizeable wooden fence, which runs alongside the road.
"The temporary fence along El Camino Real is to protect sensitive bird species in the vicinity during their breeding season from potential noise impacts as a result of road construction activities," said Lynda Pfeifer, the public information officer for the city's development services department.
The fence will be up for the duration of the project, which is expected to be complete by Aug. 15. When finished, that section of El Camino Real will be four lanes, two in each direction.
The project includes a new drainage structure that will also function as a wildlife undercrossing.
"The new structure will replace an existing drainage structure in approximately the same location," Pfeifer said.
The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board's regional issues subcommittee worked with the city to get an undercrossing that was acceptable since the current one under El Camino Real is long, narrow and dark.
Jan Fuchs, subcommittee co-chair, said the new undercrossing will be shorter with a rounded ceiling and wider openings, "more inviting to wildlife and people."

While she has been very quiet on the professional wrestling front, Mickie James has been keeping her schedule book rather full with her music career. The former WWE and TNA star has been booked for a concert tonight at the Grey Eagle club in Asheville, North Carolina.
Bret Hart posted a picture on Instagram of himself and family members attending a Pearl Jam concert together.
Layla El, who has been taking time away from WWE for an undisclosed reason, recently attended the Kanye West concert with a friend.
Tyson Tomko was arrested on robbery charges earlier today. He allegedly stole 210 tablets of Oxycodone from a CVS pharmacy. The police report also stated that the former WWE star immediately went into a restaurant bathroom and injected himself with the crushed up pills.
After successful stints with New Japan and TNA, Tyson Tomko is signing a contract with WWE to make his return. While the company has some concerns with his health and a couple of other issues, they feel that he can still be a solid addition to their mid card division.

Finally reached my 20000 FPPs target at Stars, and have ordered my 30GB Video Ipod, it takes 4-6 weeks to arrive apparently. I'll be in the UK by then so it'll be interesting to see how long it actually takes.
Rather costly experiment in that I ended up winning only $190 after approx 25000 hands. I'd expect to have gained at least $1200 in bonuses and rakeback for that sort of action if I'd played at my regular site. Not to mention expected winnings from more numerous donks. I'd originally hoped to win around $1K and an Ipod by playing at Stars.
Maybe I just ran cold (plenty of wicked suckouts for sure) but the excellent customer support they provide and their ultra-reliability doesn't make up for the overwhelming number of TAGGY players that frequent the site IMO (I practiced good table selection religiously). It's no fun logging in and seeing an array of tables at 15-20% seeing the flop.

How to build a heart
I <3 chemistry!
via @davejac
I <3 chemistry!
via @davejac
Subtle defibrillation
a, During cardiac fibrillation, the pre-shock electrical state of the heart (the transmembrane potential throughout the heart; Vm,pre) features numerous unstable, electrical rotating waves (rotor waves). b, Traditional defibrillation works to rapidly bring the post-shock state (Vm,post) to resting levels by means of a single, large electrical shock. c, Luther et al.3 describe low-energy antifibrillation pacing (LEAP), in which multiple low-strength shocks are applied to generate many virtual electrodes across the heart. These virtual electrodes excite the heart tissue, and the waves generated by each pulse of electricity propagate away from the electrodes, interacting with the rotor waves to eventually terminate fibrillation.
Life-threatening abnormalities in the electrical rhythm of the heart are usually treated with the application of a large electric shock. An approach involving a significantly smaller shock energy may be equally effective.

|Green-cheeked Conure
"Pooki" is just about four months old and he is so darn playful,... he can't wait to be let out of his cage!
Latest Animal Stories
Kurt van Wyk - 2008-03-17
I visit a nearby pet shop each week to see the new stock of parrots they get and from the moment I saw their little GCC I was attached! Unfortunately we are immigrating soon so I can't buy him, but we will definitely get a conure as soon as possible!
terrry James - 2008-03-02
I love my greencheek conure. So smart, I am very impressed with this bird. My bird dances' she will ask you to dance too. Best of all, I love how my bird tells you to gimme a kiss. You must be very sweet and quiet for this, My bird is romantic. BIRD'S MOM

I have a Cinnamon/Yellowsided GCC. She is a joy. I've had her for 3 yrs. I don't know what I would do without her. She also gets along with my cat very well, but have found her to be very possessive towards me with my daugther. She tries to attack her when she is out of her cage, but leaves my son alone. I still don't understand it.
Don - 2007-12-20
I got my GCC, Diego, about 3 months ago. He has a big cage and a playstand with lots of toys. I give him/her (I think him but who really knows)the best food of different varieties in several bowls with fresh veggies everyday. He loves grapes! I also give him a 1/2 slice of good bread with nuts and seeds in it hung by a clothes pin to his cage. He eats it every morning and loves it. So far, he says his name in a gravelly voice, "Diego." Especially when I turn out the light for him to sleep and cover his cage, I say, "good night, Diego", to which he will reply, "Diego, Diego". He loves to be out and playing with and on me. He can be very sweet but he also can bite. I think he will get over that, now he mostly does small little "love bites" that hurt terribly on my neck and arms. He also grooms my beard and makes happy noises while he rubs his head and beak against me. It is a strange mixture of love/hate action that can baffle human logic. I know he likes me and I am hoping the nipping will end someday. He will bob his head and open his wings slightly in a "begging" type motion that indicates he wants you to somehow entertain him, which I always fall for because he is fun to play with. He is fascinating to watch and, considering parrots are wild creatures, he is very friendly and tame. Lots of fun and I am crazy about him!
Alanna - 2007-12-13
I have had my GCC, Messy, for a little over a year now and I absolutely love her. Most of the time she is really sweet, but if she gets angry, she will go charging after your fingers like a little bull. She hates balloons and fluffy toys. She can take a dislike to a certain person and attacks them whenever she sees them, also attacking the person who tries to get her off that unfortunate person. I think purring is a GCC trait, although Messy's is more of a soft growl. She does get a bit bitey at times, I have a few scars to prove that. When she is in her cage and I come home, she flips her wings about and crouches on her perch until I let her come out. Then she flies around the house following me wherever I go. When I am handling her, sometimes she rolls onto her back and nips my fingers. She goes down their shirt? Messy goes down your shirt, then she emerges from your shirt sleeve and bites the underside of your arm, which hurts a lot! GCC are wonderful birds, and I think of Messy more like a child than a pet.
Anonymous - 2007-11-19
I bought a GCC in June, but was not sure if I wanted one. I wanted a conure but when I saw Missy, she choose me. Well I went out today and bought me a Pineapple GCC, he choose me. I love GCC's so I might just own a bunch of them for now on.
FComunale - 2007-11-13
Have had my GCC for about 3 years now, cute little thing sometimes. Very socialable, but demanding. If he does not get what he wants he will become nippie. If he senses that you or something around you is a threat he will take a nasty bite out of you. Mostly when he wants to communicate he will bite on the ear to get attention and he also will purr when he is happy and content that he is receiving the attention he feels he deserves. It seems that like some other postings this bird will also tend not to like certain people for some reason and just want to vicously attack them, but with anyone else including his owner he is mostly sweet. Side note: he is deathly afraid of ballons. Maybe this is a GCC trait.
Mike - 2007-10-06
My wife and I have had our green cheek Ernie for about 5 months now. We had him sexed before we bought him so we know he's a boy. He's an extremely intellegent bird and has learned many words. He's quite content to sit on top of his cage looking out the window but as soon as someone walks by he always wants to be picked up. We have a shower perch for him and he loves taking showers with us. Ernie does have a nipping problem like most young conures do and the way we deal with it is to grab his beak and shake his head gently and stress to him "no biting". We have heard after a year they settle down a bit. He's quite a good little man and we're very happy with him.
Emily - 2007-05-27
My name is Emily and I just got my Green Cheek Conure 6 days ago. I don't know her gender so I guessed shes a girl. I named her Kiwi because of her green feathers. She is a great pet to have, I've had two budgies before when I was little and I have already noticed how much more work having a Green Cheek is. Kiwi is very playful and she loves to cuddle. If I let her out of her cage and I sit down to do homework she flies right on top of my head. I love her a lot, but she does bite sometimes. I don't really know how to prevent this, but so far I have just ignored it. I have also noticed that Kiwi enjoys listening to other birds out the window, today she was sitting with me on my bed and she sat on the window sill and chirped back at the birds. I love Kiwi a lot, for all of you who are considering getting a Green Cheek, I definitely recommend one.
Raya Wilson - 2007-05-18
I bought a young conure at the start of the year, around 4-5 months ago, and I am so happy with him. Although I have only had beau for a short time i feel like he's bonded well. he's started saying hello, i think, because a lot of the time its just random mumbling he does. i'v also taught him to summersault around my finger. he's so cute, but i think i spoil him too much because he has a habit of throwing temper tantrums when he doesn't get what he wants. despite this, i love him heaps and he is the best bird ever.

To all those people trying to lock horns with 4chan:
Stop it, you don't have a chance.
Stop it, you don't have a chance.
You do awfully good impressions of yourself
I am hungry. Suggestions?
Total bullshit. Everything is, even if it doesn't exist.
I know, another rambling of an idealist trying to change the world. Well, I'm not. I'm just trying to document my point.
I'm a fan of street art. Its sarcastic, funny, original and, most of all, independent. No two styles are the same when it comes to art. Whether it is writing, drawing, painting, acting, directing, it doesn't matter. They're all different (like fingerprints). An example of this is ABOVE and Banksy. I love Banksy and ABOVE, and while they both use stencil art (most of the time), they are still quite different. Eg: ABOVE's work tends to be more colorful than Banksy's (Being South African, I've actually seen the "Diamonds are a Woman's Best Friend" piece by ABOVE). I'm also a fan of the local artist, Faith 47. But, I digress.
Banksy made a film called 'Exit Through The Gift Shop'. I saw this a while ago, but I re-watched it, and I'm not going to lie. I actually felt sick. Everything is for sale. Even art, and even art that isn't yours. It's sickening. Its like taking a mural, adding a line though it and calling it yours. The artist I am talking about it MBW (Mister Brainwash aka Thierry Guetta). He states that everyone is being brainwashed and they don't know left from right because they're not allowed to. But his very nature shows that he himself has become an inflicter of such methods, as well as being the victim.
It's a bit disappointing, really.
The purpose of literature is to turn blood into ink.
T.S. Eliot
Everything you love is here
(via lovequotesrus)
The purpose of an idealist is to turn ink into blood.
Based on a South African street art piece, I want to see how special people truly are.
Reblog this and finish the sentence:
Before I die, I want to ____________
Once on a yellow piece of paper with green lines
he wrote a poem
and he called it "chops"
because that was the name of his dog
and thats what it was all about
his teacher gave him an A
and a gold star
and his mother hung it on the kitchen door
and read it to his aunts.
that was the year Father Tracy
took all the kids to the zoo
and he let them sing on the bus
and his little sister was born
with tiny nails and no hair
and his mother and father kissed alot
and the girl around the corner sent him a
Valentine signed with a row of X's
and he had to ask his father what the X's meant
and his father always tucked him in bed at night
and was always there to do it
once on a piece of white paper with blue lines
he wrote a poem
he called it "Autumn"
because that was the name of the season
and that's what it was all about
and his teacher gave him an A
and asked him to write more clearly
and his mother never hung it on the kitchen door
because of the new paint
and the kids told him
that Father Tracy smoked cigars
and left butts on the pews
and sometime they would burn holes
that was the year his sister got glasses
with thick lenses and black frames
and the girl around the corner laughed
when he asked her to go see Santa Claus
and the kids told him why
his mother and father kissed a lot
and his father never tucked him in bed at night
and his father got mad
when he cried for him to do it
once on a paper torn from his notebook
he wrote a poem
and he called it "Innocence: A Question"
because that was the question about his girl
and that's what it was all about
and his professor gave him an A
and a strange steady look
and his mother never hung it on the kitchen door
because he never showed her
that was the year Father Tracy died
and he forgot how the end
of the Apostles's Creed went
and he caught his sister
making out on the back porch
and his mother and father never kissed
or even talked
and the girl around the corner
wore too much make up
that made him cough when he kissed her
but he kissed her anyway
because it was the thing to do
and at 3 am he tucked himself into bed
his father snoring soundly
that's why on the back of a brown paper bag
he tried another poem
and he called it "Absolutely Nothing"
because that's what it was really all about
and he gave himself an A
and a slash on each damned wrist
and he hung it on the bathroom door
because this time he didn't think
he could reach the kitchen—-
So that's exactly what people are like. 2 years ago, occupy Wall Street was created to show the 1% whose boss!… And then it was time for lunch, so they stopped by a McDonalds, and they wanted coffee so they went to a Starbucks, but they needed to make people aware that they were protesting the unjust, so they went on Facebook on their iPads and so on and so forth.
Hippocrates are all around us. Chances are that you believe in an idea so strong, but you defied the idea anyway because: how else are we meant to live? Capitalism is now the only way of life, and its aggressive and ruthless.
Proof of this? Me. A Marxist preaching his ideas on Tumblr
