LINCOLNTON The Lincoln County Planning Board will consider Monday whether to recommend a permit to allow North Carolina's biggest solar company to build a 36-acre solar farm on Webbs Road at Lake Norman.
At a meeting last week, neighbors told county commissioners that the proposal, which calls for 26,000 solar panels, is a bad fit in an area filled with hundreds of homes.
During a 61/2-hour public hearing that lasted until nearly 1 a.m. Dec. 3, residents and the experts they retained said an industrial operation like Strata Solar's has no business in a slice of the lake area that has 800 homes, including the higher-end Sailview community.
"There are right places and wrong places...," former city of Gastonia Planning Director Jack Kiser told commissioners at the James W. Warren Citizens Center. "You don't need a planner like me to tell you it's not in harmony with the area. It's just plain old common sense."
Commissioners are scheduled to decide whether to issue a permit for the solar farm at their meeting at 6:30 p.m. Dec. 16. They will first await a recommendation from the Lincoln County Planning Board, which is scheduled to meet at 6:30 p.m. Monday.
Several hundred residents attended last week's public hearing. All but one of the nearly 20 residents who spoke at the hearing said they opposed the solar farm. At least 60 others who signed up to the speak chose not to approach the microphone because their points had been made by other opponents.
Ted Campbell, who lives on Ashley Lane near Sailview, said none of the 20 to 25 solar farms he visited across the country and world for his company were in the middle of a residential area. He retired from Schneider Electric, a $40 billion global company that trades on the French stock exchange and in part provides and installs electrical equipment for solar farms, he said.
Opponents also came with real estate appraisers who cited declining property values near such farms elsewhere in the state. Strata Solar's appraisers provided evidence contradicting those findings.
Chapel Hill-based Strata Solar is North Carolina's largest solar developer with about 50 solar farms. The company wants to build its eastern Lincoln County solar farm on both the north and south sides of Webbs Road at Burton Lane, on property owned by longtime local residents Gary and Virginia Dellinger, Timothy Dellinger and Dellinger Septic Tank Co.
Soybeans are now grown on the 36-acre site where Strata Solar hopes to build the farm.
Webbs Road drivers now also pass a county trash and recycling center, a concrete plant and property where Porta-Jons are stored. All are visible from the road.
Strata Solar says its farms don't hurt surrounding property values. In its application, the company says the farm "won't generate significant noise or traffic. It will be buffered from roads and neighboring properties."
The company says its plan meets the county's setback and buffer requirements.

Also, we did some more formatting on the MDP Rank page. We added a dynamic column for AVG Round which will be based on the number of teams you setup.

For example, Jimmy Rollins MDP is 25.6, Round Column shows 3.1. Shouldn't it be 2.1.....25.6/12 = 2.1 Every player seems to be 1 round higher than they should..Am I reading this wrong?

TheTrickster wrote:Firstly, this thing is amazing.Secondly, not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if it's something that can be fixed but if you I go to the hitters or pitchers tab and want to look at the top 10 in one stat, it pulls from all of the different lists. For example if I want to see the top 10 HR hitters, Pujols is listed twice, and Fielder and Howard are listed 3 times. If I limit what's shown to just one of the lists, it looks like it still pulls from that same original top 10 list. So viewing only the "COMP" stats and ranking the "Top 10" HR hitters I only get Pujols, Fielder, and Howard.It's not really a big deal cause I can just sort all of the players by whichever stat I want and have them all ranked that way but it limits the usefulness of having the Top 10 option.

theplayer11 wrote:I would suggest you go back to color coding the MDP Rank tab. In my mocks, I used the MDP tiers tab to identify a player and then would try to find his MDP or stats by using the MDP Rank tab. Having BOTH color coded made this fairly easy. For example, say I wanted to see Carlos Lee's MDP or stats. I see he is a Tier 3 OF and coded in green on the MDP Tiers tab. With both coded, I would quickly scan the green in the MDP Rank tab and easily find him. Without the color coding now, it makes it extremely hard to quickly find players. Again, I would strongly suggest you bring back the color coding. What was the reason you took it away?

|Home patTemplate Customisation Using custom functions
|Using custom functions
Using a custom function is as easy as eating cheese cake. They can be used like the builtin tags tmpl, sub, var, etc.
01 <patTemplate:tmpl name="page">
This will output Today is [current date]., where [current day] will be replaced with the current date.
01 <patTemplate:tmpl name="root">
In the above example, the PHP code enclosed between the <patTemplate:phpHighlight> tags will be syntax highlighted in the output.
Custom Functions have to be placed in patTemplate/Function and extended from patTemplate_Function. You have to implement one method that represents the function:
string patTemplate_Function::call( array params, string content )
The reader will pass an associative array containing all attributes of your tag as well as a string as second parameter, which will contain all character data (and HTML tags) between the opening and closing tags.
You may use all functions, that are located in the patTemplate/Function folder, as patTemplate will auto-load the classes.
Template functions will be evaluated while analyzing the template, there's currently no way to use template variables or any input from the PHP script in the funcitons. Functions may be nested, patTemplate will always evaluate the innermost function first.
This example is the code used for the custom function time, which is able to display the current time as well as reformat any timestamp you pass to this.

Board of Ed. approves 7 new Chicago charter schools
BY BECKY SCHLIKERMAN Staff Reporter January 22, 2014 10:40AM
The Chicago Public Schools Board Meeting on Wednesday, January 22, 2014. | Chandler West/For Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: February 24, 2014 12:32PM
The Chicago Board of Education Wednesday approved proposals for seven new charter schools to open over the next two years, sparking some outcry from those wondering how the district could close dozens of neighborhood schools then open new charters.
"This is a complex situation," Board of Education President David Vitale said. "When we are making these decisions, it does affect neighborhoods. It does affect schools — we understand that.
"Our goal is for quality schools. There's been an agnosticism towards the form of the schools, but there is a strong belief that charters do provide quality just like contract schools and just as importantly ... as our regular schools."
But Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis called the board's approval of new charters "hypocritical."
"Freedom to choose is at the bedrock of our society," she said, "but choice should be based on fact and data. What is being presented is a false choice. Knowledge is the basis for real choice. What parents and the public are being presented with is a pre-determined path that leads to the undermining of our neighborhood schools and the privatization of public education."
The proposals approved outright are:
◆ Great Lakes Academy, which wants to open one elementary school in the South Shore area.
◆ Noble's ITW David Speer Academy high school in Belmont Cragin.
The proposals approved with conditions are:
◆Noble's yet-to-be-named high school, which needs to provide more details about its plan. The school would be temporarily located at 17 N. State while it identifies a permanent neighborhood and location.
◆ Two Concept Schools campuses. One in Chicago Lawn and one in Chatham. Among the information CPS wants is details regarding the facilities and principals of the new schools. A politically connected pastor could end up as the landlord for the Chatham school, the Chicago Sun-Times has reported.
◆ Intrinsic Schools, which wants to open one new campus on the Northwest Side. CPS wants more information from the group, including academic performance information of the group's first school.
◆ Chicago Education Partnership, which wants to open one campus in the Austin community. CPS wants more information regarding academic capacity from the group.
The groups need to submit their responses to CPS in the coming months.
CPS officials denied the proposals for three groups:
◆ Curtis-Sharif STEM Academy, which wanted to open four campuses.
◆ Be the Change, which wanted to open one campus.
◆ Connected Futures Academy, which wanted to open five campuses.
Altogether Wednesday, the board considered proposals from eight charter groups seeking to open 17 campuses over the next two years. The board had previously approved nine charter schools to open next year, though they don't all appear to be on schedule to open that soon, officials said.
The board Wednesday didn't vote unanimously, though.
Member Carlos Azcoitia voted no for several proposals that passed.
He said after the meeting that he wants charters to target the areas that CPS has prioritized due to overcrowding.
Those areas include Ashburn, Belmont Cragin, Chicago Lawn, McKinley Park, Midway and Reed Dunning.
Illinois Network of Charter Schools President Andrew Broy said the board "overall, got it right" and he praised CPS for "trying to grow in a responsible way."
But those opposed to CPS opening more charters didn't see it that way and they rallied before the meeting.
CPS mom Manolita Huber said "The board will follow the mayor's orders and approve these charter schools, ignoring parents and taxpayers."

Who did you forget to look after today?
Today I stopped at Starbucks and ordered a latte. I had an hour or two to run some errands and thought a treat would be nice.

Magic is lost every day. We lose it when we forget to love life, forget to trust, and neglect to see what is around us. Something that has been right under our noses can be lost before we even realize we have it. How simple are the things that bring you joy?

Kids and unstructured play
It's easy to think that kids are part of some sort of superhuman disaster crew. Really, they can leave a trail of chaos behind them that rivals any jungle. It can feel so random, so thoughtless. We pull our hair and think "Another mess?!?! I just cleaned up the last one!" Usually when I have these thoughts it is because I am busy, moving too quickly – through our day, through the house,...

Mixed beans for 3.11.12
Well, shame on me, I missed last week's mixed beans update. I was out buying myself a pretty new laptop, after the great laptop drowning of 2012 and that took up most of Friday, Saturday and Sunday as we shopped, brought it home, figured out our file retrieval system and finally started to figure it all out. It's been a busy couple of weeks! Hmm, where to start? I saw Miss Representation locally, and if...

In our family, our serious and thoughtful seven year old is...

Today is International Women's Day, and the day comes hard on the heels of my second screening of the film Miss Representation.

Between the two, I find myself overwhelmed with thoughts of women and what our lives are like today. We have such privilege and freedom, yet...

Spend enough time online and you'll notice two things we all spend a lot of time talking about: kids and food. We talk about parenting, milestones, and we swap cute stories.

Dynamics of Type 5: ThinkerWorld View: The world is invasive and confusing. I need privacy to think.
Basic Desire: to understand the world
Basic Fear: of being overwhelmed by the world
Healthy loop controlled by Basic Desire:
Need to understand the world -> observe -> analyze -> understand the world -> Need to understand the worldUnhealthy loop controlled by Basic Fear:
Fear of being overwhelmed by the world -> detach from the world -> understand the world -> Fear of being overwhelmed by the worldInsight:
We can see from the diagram that a way to help break the control of the basic fear is to weaken the unhealthy loop. Fives can stop their detachment from the world, and start to observe and analyze the real world more. This will increase their understanding of the world, and reduce their fear of being overwhelmed by the world.

Meet The Eye Doctors of Eugene Vision Care
The eye care professionals at Eugene Vision Care specialize in understanding how the human eye really works, as well as diseases and conditions that affect your vision—many of which do not always have obvious symptoms. Eye doctors know how age and risk factors affect vision over time for young and old, and they understand the benefits and features of corrective lenses, both as eyeglass lenses and contact lenses.
Are you looking for an optometrist near you?
Our optometrists are proud to serve residents of Eugene, Oregon and the surrounding areas of Bend, Springfield and Florence. They take the time to explain the results of your eye exam, describe your options and listen to your eye care needs. Because maintaining good eye health is an ongoing partnership, we encourage you to ask questions and share your health information, which could be vital to monitoring, diagnosing and treating potential vision problems.
Meet our doctors:
Dr. Ron V. Cuevas
Dr. Cuevas grew up in Reedley, California before making his way up the coast to Oregon for optometry school and then settled here in Eugene. Dr. Cuevas' father was a college Biology professor who taught many pre-med, dental, optometry and nursing students. Being around these students and working in his father's lab during grade school made him realize how much fun a health care career would be. After researching various healthcare specialties and spending time with his family optometrist, he decided to utilize his people skills and compassion for people with Optometry as his profession.
Dr. Cuevas started his optometric career with a unique undergraduate degree in Visual Science and went on to receive his Doctor of Optometry in 1986 from Pacific University College of Optometry, Forest Grove, Oregon.
While considering himself an optometrist for the entire family, Dr. Cuevas specializes in difficult to fit contact lenses as well as pre-operative LASIK and cataract support and post-operative care. Dr. Cuevas founded the practice in 1990.
While Dr. Cuevas has many patient success stories, his favorites are those from his overseas charity work in which he has have participated in 19 overseas "Gift of Sight" international eyecare missions since 1992. There was an older lady in southern Honduras who after receiving her high prescription glasses and actually seeing for the first time past the end of her arms laid down her cane and walks steady and confidently pointing at her field of goats and being able to identify her grandchildren by sight and not just by their voice.
When not seeing patients, Dr. Cuevas enjoys physical exercise, hiking, traveling, landscaping, photography and spending time with his wife and daughter.
Dr. Kelly Batey
Dr. Kelly Batey received his doctorate of optometry in 2007 for the Southern College of Optometry in Memphis, Tennessee and has been in practice ever since. Dr. Batey sees himself as a "primary care" optometrist, focused on his patients' total health picture.
Dr. Batey grew up in Paragould, Arkansas and resides today in Albany, Oregon. Dr. Batey and his wife, Dr. Stephanie Emmert, also an optometrist, co-own River View Family Eye Care in Albany. Dr. Batey is an avid golfer and loves to travel when he is not treating patients.
Dr. Toby Palm
Dr. Toby Palm grew up in Anaconda Montana. His history of poor eyesight and interest in medicine lead him to pursue Optometry.
He is a graduate of the University of Montana and attached Pacific University of Optometry in Oregon. He specializes in pimary care optometry and has over 10 years of experience both in private practice and as an associate.
He is married with three wonderful children and in his spare time, Dr. Palm enjoys golf, basketball, softball, hunting and fishing.

WILL: Cruising for a showdown
NASHVILLE, Tenn. ---- Ali Bokhari, now 39, emigrated from Pakistan in 2000 and eventually settled here as a taxi driver, and soon experienced a quintessentially American itch, a nagging sense that "I cannot grow." But he had an idea: "I can build a better business model for something Nashville has been missing." He built it, and now knows that no good deed goes unpunished by today's political model ---- collusion between entrenched businesses and compliant government.
Bokhari bought a black Lincoln sedan and began offering cut-rate rides ---- an average of $25 ---- to and from the airport, around downtown, and in neighborhoods not well served by taxis. After one year, he had 12 cars. Now he has 20, and 15 independent contractors with their own cars, and a website, and lots of customers. He also has some enemies, including the established taxi and sedan companies, and a city government that is, as interventionist governments generally are, devoted to regulations that protect the strong by preserving the status quo.
With the quiet support of the taxi companies, which have not raised rates since Bokhari and some similar entrepreneurs went into business, the limo companies got regulators to mandate a $45 minimum charge for any ride. Not content with that gross injury, government added crippling insults: It limited the age of cars and number of miles on them ---- regardless of the cars' conditions ---- and forbade dispatches from cellphones, which is how startup limo companies operate.
Represented by the Austin, Texas, office of the Institute for Justice, the nation's only libertarian public interest law firm, Bokhari is seeking judicial recognition of his constitutional right to economic liberty. Since the New Deal, courts, with no textual or any other constitutional basis, have distinguished between economic and non-economic liberty. Giving the latter scant protection, courts have permitted any government infringement of it that can be said to have a "rational basis." This absurdly permissive test has produced a charade of judging ---- a dereliction of the judicial duty to protect liberty. The courts' dereliction of duty has been presented as noble deference to popular government.
But the Constitution, and especially the 14th Amendment, is supposed to protect the individual's liberty, including economic liberty, from government's depredations. One purpose of that amendment's protection of "the privileges or immunities" of American citizenship was to defend the economic liberties of freed slaves from laws restricting entry into trades and businesses ---- laws written to insulate white Southern businessmen from competition. But the amendment protects all the "privileges or immunities" of all Americans.
In 1873, in a 5-4 decision in the Slaughterhouse Cases, the Supreme Court, without any warrant from legislative history of the 14th Amendment, construed "privileges or immunities" so narrowly as to make it a nullity. Now, however, Bokhari may help catalyze a reconsideration of the constitutional basis of economic liberty.
In 2002, the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals struck down a Tennessee law that prohibited anyone without a license from selling caskets. The court said the law did nothing to protect the public and merely shielded licensed funeral directors from competition: "Protecting a discrete interest group from economic competition is not a legitimate governmental purpose." This victory was achieved by the Institute for Justice.

Gluten Sensitivity On The Rise – Is Gluten So Bad?
There is a growing drumbeat blaming all sorts of digestive problems to the ingestion of gluten and naming a gluten-free diet as the cure of all maladies.
Doctors are seeing a growing number of patients who have non-celiac gluten sensitivity. They suffer from bloating and diarrhea when they eat wheat and the symptoms go away when wheat is withdrawn from the diet. We also have studies proving that some patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) do better when following a gluten-free diet.
What is gluten?
Gluten is a component of wheat and wheat-related products. We have known for a long time that for a group of people, suffering from celiac disease, ingestion of gluten causes a disruption of intestinal permeability and the immune response that follows gives the patient not only intestinal symptoms, but also general malaise, fatigue and attention problems.
Dr. David Johnson, Professor of Medicine and Chief of Gastroenterology at Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, Virginia, explains the many theories of why gluten-sensitivity is on the rise in a very clear way while still leaving room for questions and more studies to probe what people observe. Click here to view Dr. Johnson's article.
Is gluten sensitivity real? It seems to be; we just need more studies to probe why. Some blame the hybridization of wheat as the culprit for the increase of gluten-related diseases.
In My Opinion…
It is clear that we are facing a non-celiac gluten sensitivity affecting more patients with a variety of symptoms including bloating, diarrhea and attention problems. I do have my doubts about blaming every single disease and symptom on gluten ingestion, including weight gain, but there are many reasons why some people are going to feel better and lose weight by eliminating wheat from their diet.
1. We know that in our culture we eat too much carbohydrates. Eliminating wheat products is going to substantially reduce the carbohydrate ingestion and, therefor, help with weight issues.
There are a variety of opinions on the subject of gluten-free diets and there are many good points of view. As a physician, my advice for people who think a particular food or nutrient is causing digestion problems, is to avoid it while we await for more studies that provide us the facts of why gluten is making us sick.
Celiac Testing
The National Foundation for Celiac Awareness offers a checklist to help you decide if you should ask your physician or pediatrician for a celiac blood test. You can view that checklist here.
Patients who have been diagnosed with Celiac Disease are also asked to participant in a survey to aid in research being conducted by the foundation.

CHICAGO – As part of National Men's Health Week, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (formerly the American Dietetic Association) encourages all men to build a healthful eating plan now to help prevent the development of illness and disease later in life. National Men's Health Week is designed to heighten awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among men and boys.
"A nutrient-rich diet and a healthy lifestyle are your strongest line of defense against preventable illnesses, like heart disease, diabetes, cancer and stroke," said registered dietitian and Academy Spokesperson Jim White. "Even small steps towards a healthier lifestyle can really add up over time, giving you a much better chance of staying strong and in the game as you age."
According to White, a healthy diet for men includes:
To help men of all ages understand the fundamentals of a healthful eating plan and how it can help them prevent and manage disease, the Academy has developed numerous resources, including:

Trying to Make Sense of Magazine Closings
MPA: Economics, not readers, are behind it all.
The MPA wants to make a few things clear about the unfortunate string of magazine closures we've been experiencing.
It's the economy, stupid. That's not what they said, exactly, but they'd like to remind everyone that the readers are still there—it's the advertisers that are jumping ship. A data sheet posted on MPA's site in early August attempts to point out that consumer interest, via circ levels, is maintaining while advertising declines correspond with shutdowns.
Also, last year wasn't all that bad compared to other years. In fact, we didn't even come close to 2000-2001 levels.
The MPA cites closure metrics from Ulrich's Periodicals Directory. Apparently, there were 54 magazines closed in 2008, which is 11 less than 2007 and, interestingly, 50 less than 2006, which was the peak for mag closings after 2001.
None of this makes recent numbers any more tolerable, really. Closings and the subsequent job loss in any situation are horrible. But the MPA is attempting to take a big-picture view and attach the numbers to the economy rather than a specific loss of consumer interest, which would be really bad.
PIB revenue declines, for example, occurred only in recession years. ABC average circ dropped during these same periods, but by far lower percentages. Therefore, concludes MPA, advertising is the "dominant factor in magazine closings."
Yet looking at the Ulrich numbers only makes things more confusing. Yes, 2000 and 2001 saw unprecedented closure rates—125 and 166, respectively—but that recession period was an anomaly, if anything. The years between the indicated 1991 to 1992 and 2008 recession years experienced much higher closure rates, and are comparatively high even to 2000 and 2001 standards.
In other words, Ulrich's numbers don't necessarily jibe with the idea that closures are tied to a recession—there are lots of closings every year. As I mentioned earlier, 2006, not a recession year, had 104 magazine closings—twice as many as last year.
Plus, it would make a lot more sense to dig deeper and examine the kinds of magazines that close. Say, big mass-market mags versus smaller niche enthusiast titles.

Homeschooling in Virginia
Hi, my name is Michelle and I homeschool in Virginia. I am a mother of six, and I've been homeschooling for 11 years now in several states. My children's ages are 15,13,12,10, 2 and a newborn.
If you have questions or comments about homeschooling in Virginia, check out the homeschooling tools and resources or visit the online Virginia support group.
To find out more about the legal requirements for homeschooling in Virginia, articles, and state-specific resources, you can also visit one of these sites:
Legal disclaimer: This section is one family's story and how they meet the mandatory school attendance laws in Virginia. It is not intended and should not be used as definitive legal advice. In most states, parents find a variety of legal methods to pursue the educational approach that they prefer for their child.
My Favorite Local Homeschooling Resources
I love our local homeschool store, Moore Expressions. I recommend that new homeschoolers check out the different groups on Yahoo. I've found a lot of great information by joining some of these groups. Home Educators Associates of Virginia (HEAV) is also a great starting place for new homeschoolers.
A Wonderful State to Homeschool In
I enjoy homeschooling in Virginia. Compared to other states where I have lived, the laws are pretty reasonable. Virginia is a wonderful state to homeschool in because there are so many great educational places to visit and see. Our favorite place to visit is Jamestown.
In Virginia, you need to provide proof that your children are making progress as evidenced by them scoring a certain percentage in standardized testing. These test scores are due by the first of August of each year. Since I have handicapped children, I get them evaluated by an evaluator, which is also an option, but not as widely used. By August 15 of each year, you must fill out paperwork with your local district declaring that you wish to homeschool.
I don't think that the requirements for our state are so rigorous. I file a letter of intent before the school year begins. I list the books we'll be using. I take the option of an evaluation since my children don't do well on standardized tests.
Time4Learning is an online software that works really well with all learners. Even auditory learners, like my older child, love this program.
Here at Frank's Fraction Pizzeria, 3rd graders learn about "parts of a whole" from Frank and his employees.
Using an Eclectic Style of Homeschooling for Our Children with Special Needs
We have an eclectic style of homeschooling. I enjoy T4L because I can make sure that there are no gaps in skills learned. As all of my children have learning disabilities and two are multiply handicapped, we spend a lot of time working on the basics and reviewing concepts learned.
Choosing Homeschool Curriculum
Time4Learning's experience shows that there is no single, best homeschool material. Rather than feeling torn between homeschool resources, parents should select a diverse blend of materials and activities.
For families with more than one child, choosing a homeschool program can be more problematic. What works for one child may not work for another. What works for one subject may not work on the next. What works one year, may fall flat the very next year.
Some of the features that make Time4Learning so successful include:
Time4Learning is proven effective with homeschoolers, has a low monthly price, is easy-to-use, and provides a money-back guarantee so you can make sure that it works for your children!
Sign up for Time4Learning as part of your overall homeschool program.
If you have any more questions or comments about homeschooling in Virginia, head over to the Virginia Parents Forum.

Snoop Lion's much-publicized Jamaican-journey documentary Reincarnated officially hits theaters today, giving curious fans a look into the how the gin-sipping rapper once known as Snoop Dogg (and Snoop Doggy Dogg before that) transformed into the reggae-loving Rastafarian he is today.
To mark the movie and the upcoming album of the same name, due April 23, and the 41-year-old celebrated with Lionfest, a Snoop-centric event he debuted at Vice's SXSW HQ last night. (Vice is also helping to release the movie and album.)
Donning layered black and grey shirts, sunglasses, and his signature brass-knuckled microphone, the rapper didn't waste any time spreading the gospel of his new identity. After airing a trailer for the doc, he began his set with "Here Comes the King," a dub-tinged, Major Lazer-produced cut from Reincarnated. (Major Lazer, by the way, was on-hand at Lionfest all night.) It was a good start, giving Snoop leeway to follow it up with another one of his new reggae numbers, "Lighters Up."
But the updated Snoop still isn't above dipping into his back catalog to thrill an audience, so he offered up his O.G. classic "Gin and Juice" — though not without giving it a reggae facelift. Unsurprisingly, the tampered song was still a hit; at this point, that song is bigger than its genre.
In fact, Mr. Lion offered up quite a few standout tracks from his LBC gangsta days, like "Bitch Please" and his Chronic-era Dr. Dre assists "'Nuthin' But a G Thang" and "Deep Cover" (even though they all feature the kind of imagery that the reincarnated Snoop says he'd like to avoid now that he's had a spiritual awakening.)
He even performed "Who Am I (What's My Name)?" during the show — a funny choice, considering that he kept the original chorus intact. But, hey, classics are classics. Or maybe the fact that Beats By Dr. Dre had its own Pill speaker-hawking shop set up in the corner of the venue made him nostalgic?

Get to where they can see you (some can read lips better then hearing a voice). I'm an EMT and have had much experience with the elderly. But don't be afraid the elderly as they can be a good time to be around to.

Josh Nichols: I don't know Drake, all this cheating makes me feel... dirty.Over-the-top Nickelodeon sitcom created by Dan Schneider about two Odd Couple stepbrothers. Drake Parker (Drake Bell) is a popular, conceited, ladies man and dim musician who ends up getting a stepbrother in Josh Nichols (Josh Peck), a goofy, nerdy, affectionate, effeminate, unpopular geek (until Josh Peck lost the weight and became quite handsome that is, although Josh Nichols was still a geek.)The two barely even knew each other before their parents got married, but ended up being fairly close and balancing each other out. Drake taught Josh how to not be so uptight and Josh tends to bring out a nicer side of Drake. Many episodes are about Drake getting Josh to do something a little outrageous and not be so stiff, and it usually involves a plan to make money or get a girl.And then there is Drake's horrible sister, Megan (Miranda Cosgrove), who is several years younger and goes out of her way to torment the two whenever possible. She has no excuse for it, while their parents think she is an angel. The last season saw a reduction in her general mean-spiritedness (more harmless pranks than outright evil torture), but over the course of the series there is only one moment she shows genuine affection towards them.Like its fellow TeenNick programs, the show is aimed at preteens and young teenagers, but notable for many jokes aimed at adults. Homages to many classic sitcoms, innuendo and camp are the order of the day in many episodes. If there's a sitcom trope, Drake and Josh have probably covered it.The show had two TV movies, Go Hollywood (set during the series) is later referenced in its "sequel" via the series' near-end special Really Big Shrimp. About 18 months after the series ended, Merry Christmas Drake and Josh was aired, set about 2 months following the events of the 2nd movie.Drake Bell is an actual musician who wrote and sang the opening theme song.The producers and several cast members (namely Schneider and Cosgrove) have gone on to make the show iCarly which is very much in the same vein of comedy.Despite being the earliest part of the Nick Verse, it wasn't where it originated. Drake And Josh helped, but it started in Zoey 101.
Drake Parker: Well, take a bath when you get home.

GalleyCat Interviews Stephanie Meyers
Meet Harper Perennial editor Stephanie Meyers. She has blond hair, an obsession with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and reserves her editing pen for nonfiction books, not writing vampire novels. If you look closely, you will see that her name is only two letters off from the name of Twilight's famous author.
Meyers recently co-edited a book of essays entitled The Atheist's Guide to Christmas with Robin Harvie and it features an essay by writer Andrew Shaffer (better known as Evil Wylie/Emperor Franzen).
However, if you want to find her on Google, you need to be very specific with your keywords. When asked if she would do an interview, the editor responded: "I'd love to talk to you about my name doppelganger situation—anything to reclaim a tiny piece of the Google search pie." Our interview follows below…

Both T-Mobile and AT&T wireless offer the phone I want with "affordable" (relatively speaking) plans. There are a few differences.
First, let's look at T-Mobile.
The phones we'd probably buy will total $499.98. $249.98 of that will be refunded via mail in rebate. That leaves $249.98 in equipment charges. Our plan, for two lines of service, will be $49.99 plus an extra $10/mo for unlimited nights (we don't actually need the unlimited nights, I just added it in to make the plans match better). This gives us 400 peak minutes, unlimited nights and weekends and unlimited mobile-to-mobile minutes for $59.99/mo. Add $9.99 per line for unlimited t-zones (internet) service, and our monthly bill is $79.97. Each line has a $35 activation charge which adds $70 to our one time expenses.
To recap, that's $319.98 (+$250 in rebates) out of pocket now plus $79.97/mo.
Now let's look at AT&T Wireless.
The same phones as above will run us $99.98. There are no rebates to deal with. Our plan, for two lines of service, will be $59.98/mo. This includes 600 peak minutes, unlimited nights and weekends, and 1000 mobile-to-mobile minutes. Add $19.99 for 8MB of internet serviceon my phone and $12.99 for 4MB of internet service on her phone and our monthly bill is $92.96. Each line has a $36 activation charge which adds $72 to our one time expenses. Additionally, if we're willing to sign a 2yr contract, our bill we decrease by $10/mo. But let's assume that we don't, for now.
To recap, that's $171.98 out of pocket now plus $92.96/mo.
If you look at the additional out of pocket costs for going with T-Mobile and divide it over the length of the contract you increase T-Mobile's monthly bill by $12.33, bringing it to $92.30. If you ignore those few extra cents, over the course of one year, each provider will cost us the same amount of money. However, with AT&T Wireless, we'd be getting 200 extra minutes of peak usage, but would have to deal with those pesky bandwidth limitations and the possible overage charges there.
In order to make my next calculation easier to read, let's stretch the cost of equipment out over the contract period for both providers. With monthly service charges and equipment, T-Mobile would cost $106.64/mo, and AT&T wireless would be $107.29/mo.
Now, let's consider the differences over a 2yr contract. AT&T wireless waives the activation fees on a 2yr contract, T-Mobile does not. Additionally, AT&T wireless decreases the cost of each additional line of service by $10 on a shared plan with a 2yr contract. So, let's do the math. T-Mobile, stays unchanged. AT&T wireless one time fees will decrease by $72 and monthly fees will decrease by $10. That means, over two years, T-Mobile would cost $93.30/mo while AT&T wireless would be $87.13/mo.
AT&T wireless is $0.65 more per month with a 1yr and $6.17 LESS per month with a 2yr.
I get MORE minutes with AT&T wireless, but we don't really use them. I get unlimited mobile-to-mobile with T-Mobile, and Justin, Joel, Emily, Brad and Morgan are all on T-Mobile. Those are the people I call most so, even if we did need the extra 200 minutes, that would more than make up for them. Additionally, we don't really need unlimited nights with T-Mobile, which decreases our cost by $10/mo in both cases. On top of that, trying to deal with 8MB/mo of internet bandwidth may or may not work out. I've never had my usage measured that way, so I don't really know what to expect. Add to all of that the fact that I don't really want to sign a 2yr contract, and T-Mobile starts looking better and better, But, I also don't want to shell out $569.96 in equipment charges right now and then wait for my rebates to come in the mail. That has always scared me. So, in that respect, AT&T wireless looks better.
Through in one additional fact… AT&T wireless has better phones. In this particular case, we're getting phones that both providers have. But, overall, AT&T has a wider selection, the choices are newer technology and they seem to be more on top of it.
I don't know. It's all too confusing. Give me apples to apples damn it. Let me tell you what I need, and you make a plan around it. Stop trying to fuck me everyway that you can. I hate the numbers game. I hate the "well, what if I use more than that one month, and less than that the next". It's like buying car insurance: "should I get the rental reimbursement, or not? Hey, honey, do you think we'll get in a wreck in the next, oh, 12 months?".
What do you think would be best for me?
And yes… I do overthink everything.
Every Haloween, if I'm given the occasion to dress in costume, I generally try to select something humorous, slightly statement making, and perhaps just a tad bit offensive but not enough to really piss anyone off.
I was speaking with a co-worker just now, a black woman, who informed me that, one year for Haloween, she was a Ku Klux Klan member. She wore the entire white hooded outfit and carried a large cross. I laughed and told her that I didn't believe her but she insists that it's true and has promised to bring pictures on Monday.
Now, despite my comfort level with myself, my social beliefs, and my idea of humor and light-heartedness, I believe I would find such a costume too offensive to wear, myself. I wouldn't be offended to see someone else in it, but that's too much for me, personally, to bear. The same would go for any costume that would spark hateful feelings in massive numbers of people. But, of course, there is a very fine line here. I wouldn't have any problem dressing as the UniBomber, Timothy McVey, Osama Bin Laden or Ted Bundy. I would not, however, dress as Hitler, a KKK member, or any of the boys from Columbine. I'm not exactly sure what causes me to draw the lines where I draw them. While the discussion of that line within myself might be an interesting topic to discus, I more interested in another aspect.
What would be more offensive to you: A white man dressed as a KKK member or a black woman dresses as a KKK member? Or would they be equally offensive? Or perhaps not offensive at all?

Research Journal of Biological Sciences, 3 (12). pp. 1392-1397. ISSN 1815-8846
Full text not available from this repository.
Recent advances in molecular techniques have revolutionized the detection of microorganism. The development of a molecular-based technique for detection of the three different targets of Enterbacteriacae was undertaken. Primer and probe were designed based on specific pepted of novel hemolymph protein of horseshoe crabs (Factor C anti-LPS) Tachypleus tridentatus that is believed to be involved in the binds to the lipopolysaccharide of Escherichia coli, Salmonella and Vibrio cholerae. The aim of our study the exploit part of cell wall polysaccharide in the development of improved detection method based on molecular approaches. In the gene detection assay, Lipopolysaccharide gene of Salmonella, V. cholera and E. coil were hybridized to anti-LPS factor gene found in the biolysate of the marine animals. The wzm and wzt genes encoding O-polysaccharide genes were amplified in these pathogens and the LPS factor C were amplified from the marine lysate. Development of a PCR-based technique for detection of the food-borne pathogens particularly Sa Salmonella, V. cholera and E. coil were achieved. Thus rapid, sensitive and reliable techniques for the detection of food-borne pathogens developed.
