The Nanny State
The state is supposed to set a framework in which people can live peacefully together. Recently, governments around the world have been inclined to go beyond this traditional role. Instead of issuing some basic rules in which we can live our lives as we please, they are now trying to prescribe specific ways of life. Can this ever be justified or are government nannies just infantilizing society?

This is INSERT COIN, our brand new video series dedicated to the storied history of the arcade business. Join Robert Johnson as he looks at the best and worst of arcade coin-ops every Thursday. What is he talking about this week? A Conan knock-off, of course. Find out why Rastan remains the best high fantasy beat-em-up all these years later!
Here's something that might surprise you: I don't hate knock-offs. Well, let's put a caveat on that; I don't hate knock-offs that are done well. Especially with video gaming. Since so many times a publisher that acquires the rights to a license actually make inferior products to the original. Which is unacceptable, because they paid for the rights to use the source material.
A good example of this is Taito's Rastan. Here's a dude who is obviously a low-budget Conan, but his games are done in such a style that they are the only games I've ever seen that come close to doing the Conan license justice. The apex of Rastan's adventures comes by the way of the game Warrior Blade: Rastan Saga Episode 3. There's a Japanese name if I've ever heard one. This game never saw a release outside of Japan, which is a real shame because it has better gameplay and art style than other high fantasy quarter munchers like Golden Axe, Magic Sword and Capcom's Dungeons & Dragons games.
For an arcade beat-em-up, it's the only one I've ever played where your warrior feels just as powerful as the enemies you fight. Your avatar is sturdy and can take quite a bit of damage, but so can your foes. There are the standard power-ups that you would expect from this kind of game, but one that is kind of weird is this magical man. So every now and then you get this crystal ball and it makes an old wizard appear. And ... he just stands there. He follows you around, oblivious to everything happening around you. I don't know what his purpose is. Now, if you look, he has a magic bar, so I'm guessing he casts something. So how do I get him to fight for me? Do I press both attack buttons? No. Do I press start? No. Oh. THAT'S how you get him to fight for you? SO you hit him in the back. What other game have you ever seen in your life where you hit an old man and he shoots magic? Oh ... right.
And check out this music for the pirate ship level. Very jazzy. Well here's to you, Rastan, showing us that imitation really IS the sincerest form of flattery ... and sometimes the best.

Twins take out 84-month lease on a turquoise Nissan Versa
MINNEAPOLIS - Immediately after the Minnesota Twins signed Joe Mauer to a contract that keeps him through 2016, they decided to take out an 84-month lease on a fully-loaded turquoise Nissan Versa. 84-month leases aren't the typical choice for most consumers but the Twins pushed the local dealer to make the deal. "I was confused as to why they wanted to hang onto the Versa for so long," said Tom of Tom's Nissan. "Usually people go 36 months, any longer and they pick a neutral color like black or silver. Rarely do they choose a color like turquoise for a long lease. It tends to go out of style fast. People get bored of it within 2 years. Also, we might not even make the Versa in 2017, meaning if it disappears from the lineup before then, it might be hard to find replacement parts. They'll still have to make the payments though. Even if it's just sitting in the grass while they mow around it."

Anyone had any luck with stopping students from adding printers to stations....
They already cant through the normal add printer wizard. BUT some of them have found a way using the My Pictures section and clicking the photo printing wizard. This allows them to open the add printer wizard and to browse the directory for printers :(
Is there a GPO i am missing to stop this?

I'll say what I always say about catchers: there's no way a guy who fields on average one ball in play every three games or so can give back a significant amount of his value on defense unless he's bad enough that he couldn't possibly be a catcher
Not even in the same ZIP code.ZIP codes don't work that way.
Because, having lived through both, I've always thought the Mattingly love made the Jeter love look like a minor crush.Interesting comparison. The first natural inclination is to agree simply because Jeter was a better player, so if the love were equal, then Mattingly would be more overrated. That's hard to determine, however...
I don't think, however, that even most Yankee fans believe Mattingly should be elected to the HOF.

Shakeology VS Muscle Milk
Since you are reading this, chances are you are trying to figure out what are the main differences between Shakeology and Muscle Milk. First, I have to say that I have used both (I continue to drink Shakeology on a daily basis) and both are great tasting, excellent products.
However, the main differences are the ingredients and uses. Let's do a brief description of both products first.
Shakeology is an ultra-premium nutritional shake. What makes it so unique is because it contains 70 ingredients (derived from whole food sources), many of which would be difficult to get on your own. Some of these ingredients include acai, goji berries, camu-camu, maca root, and sacha inchi. It is also gluten free, caffeine free, and contains no refined sugars.
Muscle Milk
CytoSport Muscle Milk Lean Muscle Protein Powder is a lactose free, protein-enhanced formula that promotes increased strength, lean muscle growth, and fast recovery from exercise. It contains 20 vitamins and minerals as well as 32 grams of high-quality protein (2 scoop serving.)
There are various uses for Shakeology, although its primary use is as a meal-replacement. Many users drink this shake to help with weight loss. Other uses include:
- Increase energy
- Daily Multivitamin
- Dessert alternative
- Stop cravings
- Coffee replacement
- Improve digestion
Muscle Milk is best used within 30 - 45 minutes after workouts to help start the recovery process. Because of its high protein content, it works well for helping to build and maintain lean muscle.
Shakeology is not known as a protein shake, however, it does contain 15 grams of whey protein (isolate) in one serving.
As you can see, the two products are quite different in terms of ingredients and how you wish to use them. If you seek to improve your overall nutrition, Shakeology is probably the way to go. If your goal is to focus on building muscle, then Muscle Milk may be your choice.
If you still want to try Shakeology and experience it for yourself, take advantage of the Bottom-of-the-Bag Guarantee. You can use the entire bag for 30-days and if you don't like it for any reason, return it for your money back (less s&h) even if the bag is empty!
I recommend ordering chocolate and blending with almond milk and a little peanut butter - so good!

Tweet Untweet: Bloomberg's Emergency Number

Naked Cowboys for Romney
This year's election has really highlighted how much voting demographics have changed. Historically, naked cowboys tend to vote liberal, particularly in the West Hollywood area. But this year, naked cowboys seems to be hanging more to the right…
Robert Burck, aka the guy who sings and prances around in his underwear in New York City's Times Square, is throwing his support behind the former Massachusetts governor.
"I believe in a small, decentralized, fiscally responsible federal government," he told New York's CBS affiliate. "I believe in an economy with free market principals, and I believe in the strongest national defense on Earth. And those are the antithesis of all the things Obama is doing."
Burck claims being conservative has always been in his nature. You'd think someone who believes in having a strong defense would do more to protect his "little soldier" than walk around in tighty whities.
While Romney has yet to respond to the naked cowboy's statements, my guess is he prefers Meat Loaf to beefcake.

Mayor Bloomberg's War on Vibrators
Who elected Michael Bloomberg Mayor of What We Put Inside Our Bodies? Nobody. That's who. If you're not free to mainline sugar water then what good is freedom? If democracy means you have to play hide-and-seek with fake teat milk, then democracy can suck it! And now the good people of NYC can't even stand in line to get a free Trojan vibrator! What's next?! I'll tell you what. Communism.
This is just what Marx predicted. An end to the free market…
City officials pulled the plug on a vibrator giveaway by the Trojan condom company yesterday, disappointing potentially thousands of pleasure-seeking women who hoped to get their hands on some no-cost sex toys.
"I'm 57 years old. I should be able to get a vibrator!" declared Linda Postell, who was among hundreds of women (and men!) waiting in the heat on Pearl Street only to be left unsatisfied. "I have a problem with the smoking ban, and the soda ban — and now this!"
What kind of monster would deny a 57-year-old woman a vibrator? For shame! This is just another example of the nanny state trying to hold us down and spank us on the behind because we've been very, very bad and need to be punished. Bloomberg better be careful or else roving gangs of sexually frustrated women are going to fill his streets even more than they already do.
What's that? Oh. It was just a permit issue. The vibrator giveaway is back on. Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines. And God bless Mayor Bloomberg.

Mayor Bloomberg Wants to Hide Baby Formula from New Mothers
First they came for our table salt, and I didn't speak out because I'm really more of a pepper guy.
Then they came for our novelty-sized soft drinks, and I didn't speak out because I've been trying to limit myself to seltzer water, or maybe iced tea once in a while, because, to be honest, I've been getting a little round around the middle if you know what I mean.
Then they came for our baby formula, and I didn't speak out because– Wait a second. Baby formula? That's not for real, is it?
Mayor Bloomberg is pushing hospitals to hide their baby formula behind locked doors so more new mothers will breast-feed…
Under Latch On NYC, new mothers who want formula won't be denied it, but hospitals will keep infant formula in out-of-the-way secure storerooms or in locked boxes like those used to dispense and track medications.
With each bottle a mother requests and receives, she'll also get a talking-to. Staffers will explain why she should offer the breast instead.
I've been wrong in my predictions before, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that this is going to go over incredibly well.
I've had the good fortune of meeting a few new mothers in my time, and if there's one way I would describe all of them, it would be as immensely open to lectures from complete strangers on how best to care for their children. New mothers love talking-tos! They love 'em! They'll take any advice they can get from absolutely anyone.
So, if you see a new mother on the street, just walk up to her and start telling her how wrong she is in how she's raising for her baby. She'll thank you. Take my word for it.

Liberals Discover Joys of Government Discrimination Against Chick-fil-A
Like a proud parent witnessing his child's first steps, it's been a pleasure to see liberals grow to embrace the wonders of government-backed retaliation against political views they oppose.
You might remember the Ground Zero Mosque debate, the controversy surrounding a proposed community center that in the great American tradition of Joe the Plumber was neither a mosque nor at Ground Zero. Newt Gingrich suggested that we adopt the Saudi Arabia standard of religious tolerance ("There should be no mosque near Ground Zero in New York so long as there are no churches or synagogues in Saudi Arabia,") and use zoning laws to create a mosque restriction zone in lower Manhattan. A conservative candidate for governor of New York, Carl Paladino, suggested the government use eminent domain to prevent construction of the community center.
Liberals were rightly outraged, not just at the right-wing desire to limit buildings for Muslims to Guantanamo Bay, but because of the constitutional principles at stake. Whatever the merits of the mosque, the Free Speech Clause of the 1st Amendment means the government generally may not discriminate against an entity because of what it says or teaches.
Now witness the celebratory lefty reaction to Boston mayor Thomas Menino's take on Chick-fil-A, the fast food chain bent on protecting us from the threat of homosexual chicken marriage, or something.

Several dog furniture and equipments are available in the market for you to consider of purchasing to help you achieve this goal before picking your dog from the breeder or the seller.
First, you have to purchase a dog crate or a dog kennel. This is just one of the most important things that you would need in making your new dog feel at home. It serves as your dog's own private and secured place where they'll feel safer to go to. Apart from the fact that it is very helpful when you are not home to watch out for him, this also serves as your dog's potty training process because you wouldn't want your dog to mess up your house.

It comes in various sizes to fit all small, medium, large, and extra large dogs. These crates and kennel can be created using materials such as metal and plastic. These are also commonly known as dog carriers.
An equally important furniture for dogs is a dog bed. When your dog is not on its crate or kennel and is situated outdoors, you'll want your dog to also have an additional spot in the house where he can contentedly snooze if he wants to. If you put a dog bed in place, then this will set you can set restrictions for the areas that your dog can and can't sit on. Even if you command your dog not to go on the living room couch, he won't feel bad because he has his own comfortable spot to go to. Similar to the dog crate and kennels, there are a wide range of choices as well. Forms include donut shape, flat, horseshoe shape, and there are others that look like small pieces of human furniture. On the other hand, these dog beds are normally elevated. It's not recommended if your dog tends to chew on things.
Moreover, there are few additional dog furniture pieces that you should buy. The list includes Porch Potty litter box and outdoor dog house with gates to avoid your dog leaving their pooch anywhere and go on specific rooms, and even doggie steps if your dog has a hard time getting around. The potty area should not be just near your carpeted floors inside your house. It may be on near the dirty kitchen or somewhere that does not have any carpet. The good news is that we have potty training systems out in the market which can save you from cleaning their urine or feces every single time they mess up your home.
Porch Potty is the best tool you'd ever need in completing the potty training phase of your dogs. It is the best tool ever invented to aid in teaching your dogs the right way of doing it. It saves you time, money and the hassles of cleaning up your dog's mess!

It's convenient for you because you need not go outside your house to purchase these equipments. Most online shopping sites save you the time of going to the pet store because they offer direct shipment and you will receive your package on your doorstep in no time.

How do you train an animal aggressive dog to live with two more dogs?

Management. Be sure you control all situations so that there are no face-to-face meetings between your dogs. Crate the agressive dog so there will be no "accidental" meetings, and cover that crate if you have to, to prevent agressive behavior around his crate. Remember to use lots of wonderful treats with your aggressive dog to associate seeing other dogs and being around other dogs with good stuff. What you are doing by raining high-value treats down upon him when he's seeing / hearing your other dogs is creating a classically conditioned response to them: "Other dogs = I get treats". Also remember that you are not rewarding him for reacting badly to your other dogs at this stage. Spend a LOT of time doing this exercise: you will then be able to build from this. I highly recommend looking into the short books written by Jean Donaldson about this very subject. Have patience! Good luck!

Drag the home icon in this panel and drop it onto the "house icon" in the tool bar for the browser
Select "Yes" from the popup window and you're done!
One night while on patrol, my sergeant calls me on the radio wanting me to check by to help out at a domestic violence call. The original call was for 'mutual aid' to help out a neighboring police agency that bordered our city. While en route I wondered why I was needed — three patrol units and an ambulance had been on the scene for a fairly long period of time.
I arrived, and without thinking turned on my audio pocket recorder. I was met by the sergeant who explained that because I had a "silver tongue" I was specifically chosen to talk a "crazy man" into giving himself up, placing him under arrest and taking him to jail for what was probably going to be a very long time bearing in mind his lengthy criminal history. He had just assaulted both his elderly parents who were being treated by paramedics in the back of the ambulance. Dad had a broken nose and Mom had a split lip, thus undoubtedly jeopardizing any future inheritance.
I felt like I had just won the lottery because I was "chosen" for this special task. But I quickly sized up the situation after the sergeant said "here's the key to the front door, he's mad as hell, there are no guns in the house but he's holding half a dozen kitchen knives and a meat cleaver." I suddenly felt like Mikey in the 70's Life Cereal commercial where those two kids say, "I'm not going to try it, let's get Mikey to try it!"
Now, apparently, I'm Mikey!
Anger Management I unlocked and opened the front door, all the lights in the house were off and before I had a chance to step inside the door I saw a raging maniac running at me with a meat cleaver raised above his head and for half a second the thought of Jack Nicholson in the movie 'The Shining' yelling "Here's Johnny" flashed in my head. Thinking this might not be a good time to discuss things with him, I stepped back and quickly shut and locked the door.
Maybe this guy just needed a hug. Maybe he just needed some anger management counseling. One thing for sure was he had that meat cleaver, so I decided to talk to him through the door. I asked him if he would count to ten along with me and take some deep breaths. As I counted, I could hear him calling me bad names. I reminded him to use "I" statements to describe a problem and not "you" as in "you son-of-a-bitch." He started pounding violently against the inside of the front door. I told him getting exercise was a good outlet for emotions.
As we continued to speak through the door, I told him humor was a good way to release tension and he screamed at me that I was a dipshit. I told him sarcasm only hurts feelings and makes things worse. I told him listening to soft music, writing in a journal or doing yoga encourages relaxation. He yelled through the door he would like to kill me while I was doing yoga. I told him that he was allowing negative feelings to crowd out positive feelings and that he needed to collect his thoughts and think before he speaks because he might say something he will later regret. He screamed something unintelligible and told me to leave.
I gave the key back to the police officer. He took out his gun and muttered something that sounded like he wasn't playing around anymore and proceeded to open the door. My sergeant gave me that look of disappointment — if you've been married for any length of time you probably know that look. I don't know why I followed the officer into the house but I did. Maybe because I wanted to see what was going to happen next — a guy bringing a meat cleaver to a gun fight isn't going to be very pretty, but I wanted a good view of this action! Maybe it was the thought of security in numbers and a show of force that would intimidate this madman into coming with us peacefully (not!).
Just inside the front door of this house was a small atrium, about the size of a toilet stall in a typical police station locker room. The police officer we were checking by with looked liked a mythological Ogre. He was every bit of 6' 8" tall and weighed in the neighborhood of 370 pounds. I entered the house right behind Officer Shrek and he's taking up every bit of this atrium. We both have our guns drawn and flashlights pointed at Mr. 'Pissed and Crazy.' Officer Shrek yells "put down the knife!" and 'Pissed and Crazy' yells, "Here's Johnny"!
Aw... [bleep!] Now before I tell you what happens next, let me first say that because of the size of Officer Shrek in the small confines of this atrium, I could barely see let alone point my gun at our target. Shrek continues with verbal commands of "drop the knife" and "don't come any closer" with 'Pissed and Crazy' inching his way toward us and slowly raising gourmet-quality cutlery over his head in a throwing position when suddenly I hear a single blast from Shreks gun.
"Bang!" The next thing you hear is me saying, "Aw... [bleep!]"
Shrek and I move toward 'Pissed and Crazy' — who is now 'Quiet and Bleeding'. Shrek shot him in the upper thigh and a pool of blood was quickly starting to circle out at us. I cuffed our suspect and moved the cleaver and half dozen knives out of reach because I remembered in the police academy that drugs and adrenaline can cause these injured [bleeps] to come alive and start attacking again like Jason in Friday the 13th! No way did I want that to happen.
I got on my radio and had the paramedics who were still parked out front treating mom and dad, enter the house and load up Shrek's collar. My sergeant tells me to follow the ambulance to the hospital until I get relieved by an officer from their agency. As luck would have it, an officer relieved me a few minutes after we arrived at the emergency room. So now I'm headed back to the scene and upon my arrival I am met by a nice man holding a clip board who says he's with the District Attorney's Office of Police Integrity. After introductions he asks me if I have any physical evidence. I wanted to say no because I wanted to make a copy of the audio recording of the incident before releasing it. I figured I would never see it again if I turned it over.
I reluctantly gave him the audio tape (like I had a choice!) and told him I rewound the tape and to hit 'play' on 'Side B.' To my surprise he told me I could pick up the original audio tape the next day at his office!
Officer Friendly The next afternoon I went to pick up my audio tape recording of this shooting incident and was met by a group of investigators and assistant DAs who wanted to meet me. Apparently they put the audio recording on 'Side A' and listened to almost two hours of my traffic stops! Everybody wanted to meet me, Officer Friendly, because all my traffic violators were literally thanking me for giving them a ticket! They couldn't believe people were actually saying things like "thank you officer for giving me this traffic ticket and making me a better safer driver and possibly saving my life and the lives of others!"
I thought this was odd because I thought all police officers were thanked by their violators.
I received my audio tape back and made my own copy, turning the original over to our agency's investigators. Eventually the police chief heard the recording and played the shooting at a staff meeting. Everybody wanted to know what was going through my mind when I said, "Aw, [bleep!]" right after Shrek shot 'Pissed and Crazy' in the leg.
I said, "all I could think about was all that paperwork, reports, supplements, sworn statements, and interviews I was going to have to do, not to mention having to take my gun to the lab so they could fire a round into the evidence (water) barrel to make sure everybody involved was telling the truth about exactly who fired the round and how the incident occurred, not to mention making an appearance to the Grand Jury! The chief later told me he wanted everybody to focus in on my anger management tips.
Because Officer Shrek was an enormous person and he took up the entire atrium, I couldn't safely fire my gun without possibly shooting Shrek! Had I been able to get a shot off, it would have been center mass and a different result probably would have occurred. I had been taught in the police academy that you shoot to stop the threat if you're in fear of your life or someone else's life — there may have also been a 'shoot-to-kill-if-someone-calls-you-a-dipshit-clause' but it's been a while so I may be misremembering that!
Officer Shrek was No-Billed of course. Because the incident was recorded on my pocket recorder, that's all the Grand Jury had to hear to make their decision. Pissed and Crazy' got 10 years in the State Pen, where he got to take lots and lots of Anger Management classes and write a letter of apology to his parents and the officers involved.
I never received my letter.

Hi 51339 ... usually a dynamic credential means a credential (some sort of permission) that is issued on-the-fly, based upon an activity or a request, and is valid for a limited duration of time. For example, permission to access some site, or maybe an IP address which is assigned to a computer (dynamic IP). It depends upon the context. Where did you encounter the term "dynamic credential"?

Many of us in the green-blogging movement also think of ourselves as Knitters, with a capital K.
Just as our green status affects our cooking of slow food, our environmental commitments lead us to love our handmade "slow clothes."
Some of us are committed to finding responsibly-raised sheep and spinning their fleeces without added chemicals and without the use of fossil-fuel-based power. A spindle or a spinning wheel in our own hands can give us such a sense of pleasure and appreciation. Natural dyes--made from plants we raise in dye gardens or we collect wild--add to the low-impact nature of natural knitting.
What a joy it is when I see other people finding ways of combining their love of fiber with their love of the environment:

"Two and a Half Men" recap (11.6) : Wonder Woman, an eggbeater and lesbian voodoo magic
Dawn breaks and my task begins. Earlier this morning, I realized there was no alcohol to accompany my recapping and thought, "Well that won't do," so I nipped to my local liquor store. Buying booze at 9 a.m. on a weekday is not an entirely comfortable experience, so slapped on red lipstick and enormous black sunglasses and bought champagne. "He'll think I'm hosting a leisurely brunch," I thought gleefully, smiling coolly at the middle-aged Korean cashier.
After skipping last week, Two Men and A Lesbian is back, and I can't wait to watch the show I've been happy to recap Two A Half Men since Trish
stumbled upon me drowning that baby asked.
"Justice In Hot Pants" opens with Alan unenthusiastically watching porn in bed. Alan gets bored and goes to the kitchen, where he finds Walden also unable to sleep. Walden can't sleep because Jenny and her "friend" are making too loud sex noises.
"Have you ever made a girl scream like that?" Walden wonders aloud. Oh, Walden. Calling Jenny and that girl she's fucking "friends" won't make you any less sexually threatened. It's weird how men feel simultaneously superior to lesbians because they have dicks and inferior because they think lesbians do voodoo sex magic. Maybe think less about your dicks, bros. Drink.
Walden and Alan talk about how the only way they could make a woman scream like that is by beating them. Lovely. Jenny walks out in a soft lavender robe, auburn curls mussed with passion. (Or lust if you'd like me to rhyme.) She grabs an egg beater, briefly tests out it's upward swirl, and says, "That'll work."
Jenny goes back to the bedroom. This is what men think lesbians do to make women scream? Egg beaters? Do you fuckers know nothing about vaginas? Can men not possibly comprehend that women can be pleased not by utensils but by EFFORT and PRACTICE? Egg Beaters = lesbian voodoo magic. First lesson of the day. Walden makes a Black and Decker joke.
The next evening, Walden struts before Jenny and Berta wearing a chic black tux. Joke about blowing. Alan walks out in a tux looking significantly less attractive than Alan. Walden's mother, Robin, shows up to accompany Walden to the school dance aka "Monkey Benefit."
Jenny lurches over to Robin, clutching a nearly empty glass of red.
Jenny: I can see where Alan gets his pretty face.
Robin: Thanks! He's single you know.
Jenny: I know! [Jenny pauses for a long leer, letting her eyes drink in Robin's taunt mid-life frame] Are you?
At the Monkey Benefit, Walden and Alan sip on disappointingly weak martinis while takin' in the sophisticated scene. Robin introduces Lynda Carter, a famous television star, to Walden and Alan.
Lynda Carter is famous for playing Wonder Woman. Lynda mistakes Alan for gay because he lives with Walden.
Lynda: My gay fans have always been my biggest fans.
Alan: I'm not gay.
Lynda: Oh, I'm sorry… Transgender?
You know Alan and Walden would have just used "tranny." Alan hits on Linda until Robin steers her away. Alan is in love with Lynda.
The next morning at breakfast, Alan and Walden banter gay jokes and Alan tells Walden that he's a Lynda Carter superfan. Joke about bushes. Alan wants Walden to set him up with Lynda Carter, his life-long love. Later that day, Walden sits in the living room wearing those douchey toe running shoes like a douche. Alan reminds Walden that he promised to help set Alan up with Lynda Carter, but Walden is having second thoughts. He tries to politely tell Alan that he's not good enough for Lynda Carter. Alan is hurt to discover the man he's been grifting off doesn't think highly of him.
A day passes sans visuals, and another morning dawns. Jenny enters in a questionably patterned red shirt. I've never seen a lesbian wear that pattern before. Do some research, CBS. Walden is wearing a stone-washed lavender henley.
Walden: You're up early
Jenny: Crack of Dawn! Dawn's still asleep though.
Walden: Banana hammock.
Dawn is a woman's name. What wit. It's like A Midsummer Night's Dream up in here. Walden why he won't set Alan up with Lynda Carter to Jenny. "If he's good enough to be your friend, why isn't Alan good enough for her? Shouldn't Lynda Carter decide who's good enough for her?"
Walden is like, "Hey, valid point, Jenny," and Jenny looks up a picture of Lynda Carter and agrees: "Yeah, Alan isn't good enough for her." But is the seed already planted? I suspect yes. Walden, clearly feeling guilty, goes to Alan's room to apologize. Walden makes it up to Alan by inviting Lynda Carter and his mother over for dinner the next night.
Fast forward a day. Robin and Lynda Carter arrive for the dinner party, and Lynda Carter seems more interested in Walden than Alan. Alan awkwardly tries to flirt with an underwhelmed Lynda Carter. He does not play it cool. He plays it like a crazy fan-boy/stalker. Vintage Comic-Con references, autographs, pictures, music—the works. Walden rescues Lynda Carter by taking her out on the balcony.
Jenny joins them with obvious enthusiasm and compliments Lynda Carter.
Lynda Carter: Aw, aren't you sweet.
Jenny: Oh I can be way sweeter. Or less, if that's what you're into. Do you still like wearing cuffs?
Walden shoos Jenny away, and Lynda Carter crows, "See, I told you the gays really like me!" God I love hearing straight people call us "the gays." Like how black people adore being called "the blacks" or Jewish people delight in being referred to as "the Jews."
Walden asks if Alan has a shot, and Lynda is like "Hell no" and macks on Walden. Just at that moment, Alan walks in and lassos Walden. "BETRAYAL," he shouts. Walden and Alan pull back and forth of the lasso until accidentally toppling off the balcony.
Next morning: Walden and Alan chat on the balcony and decide to just let it go. Walden's beaming and disheveled mother sneaks out of Jenny's room, landing a lusty kiss on Jenny before she makes her exit.
Lynda Carter follows, passionately snogging Jenny as she goes.
Lynda Carter pops back inside to hand off the eggbeater to Jenny.
So basically, in this episode of Two And A Half Men, Jenny the lesbian fucked Wonder Woman and Walden's Mom with an eggbeater. Lesbian voodoo magic. Boom.
Do you have lesbian voodoo magic? Let me know @howtrite/#ohjenny

November 22, 2014
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- The New Year brings some tax changes in West Virginia. You'll notice one of them every time you visit the gas pump.
West Virginia drivers are feeling more pain at the pump as 2014 rang in a higher gas tax.
"I used to go and get $20 in gas every Friday. Now it's $10 every other day cause I can't afford to go any longer than that, and $10 lasts me about two days," said Garrett Wilds.
West Virginia's gas tax is now 54.1 cents per gallon. That's a 1-cent increase from last year.
"A penny adds up," Patty Jennings said.
State officials said the tax helps keep roads in good condition.
"It would be the difference in maybe going out to dinner or maybe doing some things that you enjoy because you have to put gas in your car. I mean, it's really not an option," Jennings said.
It comes after state tax officials recalculated the average wholesale gas price for 2014.
The average price jumped to roughly $3.04 a gallon.
But that's not the only place where people will pay a little more.
Online shoppers will also notice more taxes on their bill at the checkout.
Online retailers with a physical location in West Virginia, like Amazon.com, are now required to charge sales tax.
"It seemed like we got away without it for an awfully long time, and I think probably all consumers knew that was coming eventually," Jennings said.
Still, people said the added tax will not change their shopping habits.
"It's a convenience factor for me more than it is the sales tax or not," Jennings said.
But shoppers are holding out hope they can avoid more tax increases in the new year.
Two state business taxes are on the decline this year.
Both corporate income taxes and business franchise taxes are falling.
Taxes on propane are also dropping from about 14 cents a gallon to about 6 cents a gallon.

Who says the end of glam travel is nigh? Not Moschino anyway. The fashion house has just unveiled plans for its spanking new hotel in Rimini. Expected to open next year, the site is an old neoclassical railway station but while the outside might look like the place to catch the 10.20 to Milan, inside it's going to be seriously dreamy. Or as Moschino puts it: '... dreams are fairy tales that we are allowed to experience first hand, the fables of a fantasy world that we have created. This is an alternate life in which we direct and stage the scripts of our very own play.' But of course! The hotel will be over four floors with a spa, gym and landscaped gardens. There will also be 15 suites and 54 rooms including this rather gorgeous one called Petals. Dream on, we say!

NASA says a spacecraft that was intentionally crashed into the moon has turned up the best evidence yet of water.
Scientists have been analyzing a mile-high plume of debris kicked up by the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite last month after it crashed into a crater near the moon's south pole.
They presented preliminary data Friday showing the presence of water in the crater. Over the past decade, scientists have found some hints of underground ice on the moon's poles.

NASHVILLE, Tenn (Reuters) - Country music legend Loretta Lynn was resting at home on Monday after spending part of a "scary" weekend in the hospital suffering from pneumonia, the singer said.
"It was one scary night ... But I am feeling better and just gonna take it easy for a couple of weeks," she said in a statement from her home in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee.
The 76-year-old music icon went to a Kentucky hospital early on Saturday after awakening on her tour bus complaining of difficulty breathing, her web site said.
Lynn canceled her two weekend performances in Kentucky and North Carolina, but the statement said she expected to return to the stage on November 3 in Knoxville, Tennessee.
The singer, who grew up poor in Kentucky's coal-mining country before rising to fame, has additional performances scheduled in Mississippi, Louisiana and North Carolina.
Lynn, whose hits including "If You're Not Gone Too Long" and "Don't Come Home A Drinkin'," has released 70 albums and charted 16 No. 1 hits in a career spanning five decades.
She has won two Grammys and written several books, including "Coal Miner's Daughter," which was made into a movie that earned Sissy Spacek an Oscar for her performance as the singer.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I went to this school years ago under same principal and my own friends have kids here. I also work for district one. The teachers there are usually very compentent and care. The principal is not a great person. If your child is seen as a threat to maintaining high test scores forget getting help. She has a reputation for pushing hard for special needs children to be moved to other schools instead of welcoming them to the school. I feel that's hateful and her priorities are not children's education but school ratings. It's sad actually.
I am a grandparent of two Royall students and I am constantly amazed at their academic progress and their genuine enthuiasm for learning. This is certainly due primarily to their fine teachers but I also know that leadership is what makes any organization work and the leadership at Royall is unequalled. I have visited the school several times and I have spoken with Mrs. Smith twice - she not only knew my grandchildren by name but she was also able to talk about them and their progress. I have found her to be knowledgeable, accessible, positive, and focused on the welfare of her students. I know that Royall is a great school with a great principal because I can see it in my two grandchildren and that's all the proof that I need!
I am happy to know that Royall students have good test scores. We have also been extremely happy with our teachers. The administration leaves a lot to be desired, just an unfriendly, uninterested tone. The code of conduct is harsh and the principal, who has been there a long time, seems to be resting on her past success and reputation as opposed to being dynamic and innovative.
This is our first year at Royall, we came from a private school in Florence & I must say that Royall is an awesome school! My son loves it, I love it, the teachers are great. Royall makes learning fun, they are all about reading & that is so important. Mrs. Smith wants the children to do their best & it takes the parents, the teachers & the community to all come together & believe in these kids & give them the best & that is what I think Royall is all about. God bless them!
We have enjoyed another fantastic year at Royall! We will be moving soon and I believe that Royall will be what we miss most about Florence.
The school was above average but not exceptional. My daughter has attended schools in other states that were a little more advanced and pushed the students to work harder. There is the potential to be great, but I don't feel that it is encouraged enough in our students.
My twins attended Royall in the year 2000. My youngest daughter is now in the 3rd grade. Royall is the best elementary school in Florence. The emphasis that is put on reading is priceless. The strong reading skills that my daughters acquired at Royall is so important in today's society. The principal is all business when it comes to her school and I like that. I wish everyone could visit Royall and see how well behaved the students are and how respectful they are to each other. To the staff, please continue to keep up the good work.
Great teachers and great learning environment. Very student centered school.
As public schools go, Royall is one of the best ones in town, perhaps the best. All the teachers are good, and the students are made to treat each other with respect. The only negative is maybe the principle is a bit lofty, but she runs an efficient school. If you have a child going into 5K, request Mrs. Parrott's 5K. She's fantastic. My son is heartbroken to leave her class. -Kim Vozel
My daughter is attending her first year at Royall. She's in Mrs. Parrott's 5K class. Mrs. Parrott along with Mrs. Wright has been wonderful teachers. She enjoys school and she's learning alot. Royall is truly a great school.
