O.J. returns to court in bid for new trial
LAS VEGAS — O.J. Simpson was back in a Las Vegas courtroom on Monday to ask for a new trial in the armed robbery-kidnapping case that sent him to prison in 2008.
The former football hero and a new set of lawyers hope to convince a judge during the hearing that trial lawyer Yale Galanter had conflicted interests and shouldn't have handled Simpson's case.

One of the best tools I've seen for estimating IOPs etc is a dell DPACK. I'm sure a reseller will be able to facilitate the running of it.
It needs to run. Then be sent to dell for processing.
This will give you an idea of how many disks/spindles and what speeds you'll need.
I've used hp iscsi nas before, one of their early models, not great but it ran on windows storage server.
I also have an MD3000i, an earlier model oft the power vault you are looking at, this has been quite good but a little fiddly to configure, might just be because it's hyper-v and not VMware like I was used to.
As a more budget option I've used a San from Qsan. I used to have 2 of these with replication.
Let me know if you'd like anymore details.

On Tuesday, State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley called Pastor Terry Jones' plan to hold a "Burn A Koran Day" on the ninth anniversary of 9/11 "unAmerican."

text: Hello Everyone, I'll try to condense this as much as possible. 53 years old. Married for 28 years. Sex life, meh. Through therapy I realized i was super angry at him about selfish behavior. He was passive-agressive and I was a martyr. Ugh! for both of us. In 2008, as I was finishing my treatment for breast cancer ( feeling like crap, looking even worse and emotionally a wreck) I discovered my dh searching the internet for nude pictures of a (younger) woman who worked for him. Now, after the intitial bomb was dropped and we really discussed it, things seemed to improve. We had a very honest discussion about our sex life, and he assured me that nothing happened between the two of them. He lost his job 2 years later which meant they had no reason to be in contact with one another. Since then, despite his promises to me that he would have NO CONTACT (text, email, phone, etc,,) I discover every few months that he has talked to her in some way or another. He lies about it constantly and when I uncover his lies and threaten to leave he's sooooooo contrite. I just want to take a rusty knife to that empty brain between his legs and take care of things! I don't know if I'm being incredibly stupid. I don't think of myself as gullible, but I'm beginning to wonder. I don't know what to do. Right now, I can't stand to be around him. He told me in February (when I once again found him talking to her) that we would go to marriage counseling. Of course, that went nowhere. This time, I actually found the names of 3 male therapists we could go to,but I REFUSE to call and make the appointments. I'm tempted to put a GPS on his car, but we share a computer so I'm not sure how that will work. I've also considered hiring someone to follow him, but don't want to spend the $$$. At this point, I don't think he's worth it. Saying all this, it's obvious I still love him because I don't need his money and I wouldn't be this jealous if I didn't. But I don't want to be humiliated and hurt any longer. Any suggestions? I'll listen to all of them. Thanks for letting me rant. It felt good.

IRS Data Retrieval Tool for FAFSA | 11.29.11
UPDATE – 3/14/12: Recently, the Department of Education sent an email to families who filed their FAFSA and either estimated their taxes, or selected "will file" to encourage them to go back and use the IRS data retrieval tool. Unfortunately, the email gave some families quite a shock, saying "Now that the federal tax filing deadline has passed and you have probably filed your 2011 tax returns, it is time for you to update your FAFSA". If you received one of these emails, don't fret! The tax filing deadline is still April 17th. The point of the email was to make sure users complete their FAFSA with accurate information, and in the process, it apparently got a little jumbled. If you haven't filed your taxes yet, there is still time, but do make sure to update your FAFSA once your taxes have been processed!
» Find more up-to-date information on the IRS Data Retrieval Tool for FAFSA at FAFSAOnline.com.
The IRS data Retrieval tool is a helpful resource for many parents and students filing the FAFSA. The tool allows first-time and returning applicants to pull their tax data directly from the Internal Revenue Service in order to auto-fill the tax portion of the form.
Who can use the tool
The tool works for about 80% of all filers, but in some special cases, tax information should still be inputted manually. If you meet the criteria below, then feel free to use the tool! Filers need:
- A valid SSN
- A filed tax return for the previous year
- An unchanged marital status as of December 31 of the prior year
Students and parents should not use this tool if any of the following apply:
- You did/will not file, or filed an amended tax return for the previous year
- Your tax status is Married, Filing Separately
- You filed taxes outside of the US
When will it be available?
The IRS data retrieval tool becomes available for the 2013-2013 FAFSA on February 1, 2012. Some of you out there may be wondering "well what do I do if I file my FAFAS before then?" and here's the answer: Students who file before Feb 1 can use tax estimates, and file a correction once your taxes are complete. The Department of Education plans to send a email to filers who chose to estimate, as a reminder to go back and update the information. Once your taxes are filed, you can then go in and use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool. Note: Applicants who use the IRS data retrieval tool and then manually update a field, or who opt out of using it, may be selected for verification. This means you will need to explain why your update is more accurate than what was pulled from the IRS and back it up with documentation. Hopefully this tool will make filing your FAFSA not only easier, but less time-consuming. Who knows, maybe you'll even find time to apply for scholarships!

Fantasy Three-Year Projections
Third Basemen
For the previous installments in this series, click the links below:
Everyone in fantasy sports loves to look ahead. Even in the throes of a pennant race, you can fire up a conversation about next year's first round and it will go on for an hour. With that in mind, the BP fantasy team will be taking a long-view look at every position this offseason with three-year rankings (composite value over the next three seasons).
As I wrote in the third base primer piece, this is a position that's about to undergo plenty of change from a fantasy perspective. While there are four clear top dogs right now, one is moving off the position and one is entering his mid-30s, leading to a clear changing of the guard. Add in boring, safe veterans and a group of high-upside, risky young players, and forecasting third base over the next few years is a difficult task.
1. Evan Longoria, Rays
Longoria and Wright sit atop the rankings as two fairly young third baseman who figure to be top selections for each of the next three years, though Wright could be in the early stages of decline by 2016. You can argue that Longoria should be in a tier of his own, but I think Wright has enough talent to decline gracefully rather than fall off a cliff.
3. Miguel Cabrera, Tigers

J.J. Hardy is in the last year of his contract with the Orioles. Machado is a severe risk to turn back into a shortstop, That does not make him a bad investment, but you may have to trade him to get a four star third baseman after this year.
Feb 12, 2014 05:42 AM
This is a common POV, but I have a really hard time believing the Orioles are going to shift Machado back to SS after two-plus years at third, where he defense is absurd. I think he's a 3B long-term.
Feb 12, 2014 06:20 AM
O's exploring contract extension with Hardy. Writing seems to be on the wall that Machado is staying at 3b for the foreseeable future.
Feb 12, 2014 06:37 AM
If Correa were to be projected as a 3B upon major league promotion, where would he be on this list?
Feb 12, 2014 11:25 AM
How close was Colin Moran to making this list?
Feb 12, 2014 12:18 PM
I don't think we see him until mid-2015 and he's got very limited upside. The last cut for me was Cecchini.
Feb 12, 2014 12:21 PM
I'd say it's more than a rumor that Ryan Zimmerman is moving from third to first next year.

Different but Still the Same
11:56 AM on Friday, January 27th, 2012No Comments
I've heard it said many times that no two food banks are exactly the same. This phrase didn't really seem true until recently. I had the opportunity to attend the Agency Capacity, Programs and Nutrition Learning Conference sponsored by Feeding America in Chicago. The conference was great, the weather was great, and the company was also great! There were about 400 other food bankers from all over the nation looking for the opportunity to network and share great ideas.
It was especially exciting getting to attend various sessions about childhood hunger programs. Programs such as the Backpack Program, Kids Cafe, and School Pantries were heavily discussed. I have been working rather closely with the School Pantry program here at the Regional Food Bank, so any session that discussed some aspect of that program, I was there! So many food banks are attempting to embrace this new program as a way to reach different child populations. I was excited to hear about all the various models of the program. Food banks in the network offer mobile pantries, temporary in-school set up, or permanent in-school set up. Regardless of the model, one thing that remains the same among all of the food banks is that our main goal is to provide hunger relief.
At the conference, there were several break-out sessions that addressed the importance of raising hunger awareness. From Sesame Street educating the younger population, to making changes in Capitol Hill, the issue remains that hunger truly exists and it is our responsibility to make sure everyone is informed about the issue. It was very reassuring knowing that there are so many organizations around the nation seeking to provide assistance to those in need. While each food bank in the Feeding America network may vary in size, capacity, and even the number of child hunger programs they have, we are all advocates for ending hunger.

Cardboard Robots Invade Volunteer Center to Help Fight Hunger

What do you think this is? A place where people come to have fun? Well, yes. Yes, it is! We love to have fun while we work at the Regional Food Bank Volunteer Center. Above are two OU students. They were pumped up to volunteer, and they really enjoyed themselves. I know hunger in Oklahoma is a serious issue, but that doesn't mean we can't have a good time while working hard to fight it. Not only did this group have a blast that morning, but they set a new record for packing for the Food for Kids Backpack Program. They worked hard and played hard, and that's the idea we try to put across to our volunteers. We try to provide an environment where they can have a good time and feel productive.
And don't tell me you don't like to sing. I know by now you have probably heard we have karaoke once a month for Rock 'n Box on Thursday nights. And I know most people are too shy to get up and sing in front of strangers, but you never know until you try. You probably like to sing while you're driving around in your car with the windows rolled up, listening to your favorite song or maybe sometimes in the shower. Well just picture yourself doing the same thing when you grab that microphone. Ask someone who has sung karaoke a few times and they'll tell you, "It feels so liberating; it can be addictive!" So that's another way you can have fun and help fight hunger. The more fun you have while volunteering makes the whole experience better for everyone. More people will want to volunteer to pack and sort food, which means more food will distributed to Oklahomans in need!
From Local to Global
11:15 AM on Tuesday, January 10th, 2012No Comments
I have always been fascinated by our global society and the people in it and that's why I chose to pursue a degree in International Studies from the University of Oklahoma. Now a junior, I have had the opportunity to learn about many different issues that affect us locally and internationally. From human rights to ending poverty, I have cultivated a yearning to make a difference in the world by solving problems that seem simple enough, but actually require complex answers. This yearning is what led me to the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma.
To put it simply, what the Regional Food Bank does works. From the Food for Kids programs to the Senior Feeding programs, the Regional Food Bank works on the local level with many different groups of people to provide the aid and the education that are needed to eradicate hunger in our state. Reaching close to 100,000 Oklahomans every week, the success of the Food Bank and its programs has truly impacted the state and its citizens while providing the programming and the education to be effective in the long-term.
This all ties into why I, an International Studies Major, wanted to be a marketing intern at the Regional Food Bank. Because on an international scale, solving things like hunger and providing aid are difficult and often ineffective in the long-term; and, unfortunately, the efforts to help do not always reach the people that need it the most. My goals while I am here are to learn how to effectively promote the programs and the work of the Regional Food Bank while also learning ways to apply and promote their programs on an international scale. If we hope to solve hunger on an international scale, we need to start by promoting, helping, and learning from organizations, like the Regional Food Bank, that have effectively reached, educated, and impacted our own communities.
I also hope to periodically link to interesting articles and programs that are effectively working to end world hunger. Essentially, informing readers of news and programs similar to those at the Regional Food Bank but on an international level. In honor of my first blog post, I would like to link to Freerice.com. Free Rice is sponsored by the World Food Programme and is a fun way to help alleviate world hunger by answering trivia questions. For each question answered right, ten grains of rice are donated to the World Food Programme. Sounds easy right? With each right answer, the questions get harder. Trust me, it's addicting. Go to www.freerice.com, answer some questions, and then comment on this post with how many grains of rice you donated to the World Food Programme and your longest streak of correct questions. So far, Free Rice has donated almost 92 billion grains of rice, how many more will you contribute?
The Incredible Relationships
9:38 AM on Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012No Comments
A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to go with one of our drivers, Dennis, on his morning route. Naturally, being a technically minded person, I asked Dennis a litany of questions related to the technicalities, the truck, the process, and the amount of food that went to each organization that we would be delivering to that day. Our time that day took us to Yukon for 3 deliveries and 2 pickups. At the first site, I stood back and watched all of the things I had just asked Dennis, basically in an effort to see in action what he had just answered a few minutes ago. It wasn't probably 3 minutes into my observation and I had an epiphany. Dennis was off doing his thing, and what I realized is that his job is much less related to the technicalities than it is the relationships. Dennis, in doing his job, had developed a relationship and rapport that was undeniable. They looked forward to him being there and he looked forward to seeing them. It was a first name basis, how's your family, is there anything I can help you with type of occasion—a relationship.
From that point I realized that what we do here at the Food Bank is much less dependent on the technicalities than it is the relationships. I mean, don't get me wrong, the technical things each of us do are very important, but at the end of the day NONE of what we do would be possible without the amazing relationships we have with the community and more so that the community has with us.
I am truly grateful for the opportunity I was given to work at the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma. My hope is that we all realize that our lives, our purpose, our mission are only accomplished by those with whom we have relationships. Whether at the Food Bank or life in general, it is these incredible relationships that allow everything necessary to be accomplished.

Ireland: Recommended Books and Movies
By Rick Steves and Pat O'Connor
To learn more about Ireland past and present, check out a few of these books and films.
Books: Nonfiction
For a quick overview, Richard Killeen's A Short History of Ireland is a well-illustrated walk through key events. Ireland: A Concise History (Máire and Conor Cruise O'Brien) is just that, while How the Irish Saved Civilization (Thomas Cahill) shows how this "island of saints and scholars" changed the course of world history. In Traveller's History of Ireland, Peter Neville leads readers on a tour through Ireland's complicated history.
Frank McCourt's autobiography, Angela's Ashes, recounts his impoverished childhood in 1930s Limerick. Are You Somebody? The Accidental Memoir of a Dublin Woman (Nuala O'Faolain) and To School Through the Fields (Alice Taylor) are well-written memoirs. Two New Yorkers move to a tiny Irish village in O Come Ye Back to Ireland (first in a series of four books by Niall Williams and Christine Breen). For a humorous jaunt through the Irish countryside read Round Ireland with a Fridge (Tony Hawks) or The Back of Beyond: A Search for the Soul of Ireland (James Charles Roy).
Books: Fiction
Ireland is the home to its share of great writers, among them masters such as James Joyce (try his Dubliners for a look at Irish life in the 1900s), Oscar Wilde, Jonathan Swift, W. B. Yeats, George Bernard Shaw, and Samuel Beckett. Other classic Irish authors include Brendan Behan, Oliver Goldsmith, Thomas Kinsella, and Seamus Heaney.
Edward Rutherfurd's thick, two-part Dublin Saga traces key events in Irish history from A.D. 430 to the fight for independence. Other historical epics include Trinity (Leon Uris), The Last Prince of Ireland (Morgan Llewelyn), and Ireland (Frank Delaney).
The Bódhran Makers (John B. Keane) is a heartwarming look at poor families in 1950s Ireland. Roddy Doyle's gritty novels, such as The Barrytown Trilogy and A Star Called Henry, capture the day-to-day life of working-class Dubliners. Also set in Dublin, Finbar's Hotel and Ladies' Night at Finbar's Hotel (Dermot Bolger) were written collaboratively, with each chapter penned by a different modern Irish author. Consider also any of Maeve Binchy's soapy novels such as Circle of Friends.
The Quiet Man (1952), starring John Wayne as a disgraced boxer, remains a sentimental favorite. David Lean's epic WWI love story Ryan's Daughter (1970) was filmed near Dingle. Man of Aran (1934) is a classic documentary about the life of the people of the Aran Islands in the early 20th century. For hard-hitting drama, see The Field (1991, an Irish farmer fights to keep his land) or Angela's Ashes (1999, based on the Frank McCourt memoir). In Evelyn (2002), single-dad Pierce Brosnan goes to court to keep his kids. Unwed mothers struggle to survive an abusive 1960s nunnery in The Magdalene Sisters (2003).
For insight into the struggle for independence from Britain, see Michael Collins (1996, Liam Neeson), a biopic about the Irish Free State revolutionary, and The Wind That Shakes the Barley (2006), told through the story of two brothers. Odd Man Out (1947) is a film noir about the early IRA, with a great scene filmed in Belfast's Crown Bar. The Troubles haunt a widow and her lover in Cal (1984). In the Name of the Father (1993, Daniel Day-Lewis) is a biopic of accused bomber Gerry Conlon. The families of IRA hunger strikers are the focus of Some Mother's Son (1996), while the documentary-like Omagh (2004) recounts a deadly 1998 IRA bombing. In Fifty Dead Men Walking (2008), an IRA informer navigates the brutal world of the Troubles.
Equally bleak but worthwhile films include My Left Foot (1989), which garnered an Academy Award for Daniel Day-Lewis, and Veronica Guerin (2003), in which Cate Blanchett exposes drug lords as a journalist.
For a fun, throw-away romance, try Far and Away (1992), with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman as penniless Irish immigrants. For a comedic break, watch at least one of the films adapted from books by Roddy Doyle: The Commitments (1991), The Snapper (1993), or The Van (1996). In Waking Ned Devine (1998), a deceased villager wins the lottery (it's funnier than it sounds). Children bring Irish folk tales to life in Into the West (1993) and The Secret of Roan Inish (1995). Leap Year (2009), with Amy Adams, was filmed on Inishmore (which was confusingly called "Dingle" in the film).
Pat O'Connor is the co-author of the Rick Steves' Ireland guidebook.

Dec 5, 2013 2:27 PM by Associated Press
ROME (AP) - Tim Tebow has been offered a four-month contract by the Italian federation for American football, and the Milano Seamen are hoping to sign the free agent quarterback.
Excerpts of an offer sent by federation president Leoluca Orlando to Tebow's representatives were posted on the federation's website Thursday.
"The offer has been made to his agent and now we're waiting for a response," Seamen president Marco Mutti told The Associated Press. "We would be more than happy to have him."
A federation spokesman, James Dewar, told AP that the offer is for $200,000 and that it was sent Wednesday on the recommendation of a sponsor.
The 26-year-old Tebow was cut by the New England Patriots before this NFL season. He would be the most prominent player to appear in the Italian league - by far.
The eight-team Italian league is divided into two divisions. The other teams are located in Ancona, Bologna, Bolzano, Parma, Reggio Emilia and Rome, while Milan has two teams.
The season begins in March and concludes with the Italian Super Bowl in July.
In last season's title game, the Parma Panthers beat the Seamen 51-28.
The Seamen have the league's largest stadium, with 8,000 seats. Fashion designer Giorgio Armani is a former owner of the team.
Tebow won the Heisman Trophy in 2007 with the University of Florida and tasted NFL success with the Denver Broncos, leading them to the playoffs in 2011 before his pro career faded with the New York Jets. He was released in the last cut by the Patriots before this season began and has not been picked up by anyone, even though many teams have had problems at quarterback.

Steal the Style from the 1934 Film The Thin Man
From the overcoat to the tux, here's how to get detective Nick Charles's timeless look
By Calum Marsh
The Pinstripe Suit
Detective Nick Charles has class down to a fine art: He pulls off a suit like its casual wear, ambling around New York parties without a hint of stiffness or unease. Pinstripes are an easy way to suggest a little more refinement than you have naturally, given the impression of power and stability they imply. Nobody strikes the balance between sophistication and relaxation quite like Gant Rugger, whose pinstriped blazer is a perfect modern take on a classic look.

Lisbon's most monument-packed area is Belém. The cultural district west of the city center offers some of the most historically important and breathtaking sights. A ten-minute ride on Tram 15 or a train from the Cais do Sodré station will take you to the area that was a starting point for many great Portuguese explorers embarking on their voyages of discovery. Vasco da Gama spent his last night in the Jerónimos Monastery, a magnificent sixteenth-century Gothic building with elaborate sculptural details and maritime motifs, before leaving for India. Other highlights of the district include the Museum of Carriages, the Belém Tower, and the Museu Coleção Berardo, which displays works by Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí, Jackson Pollock, and Jeff Koons.
One place in Belém has become almost as popular as the historical landmarks that surround it. People line up every day at Pastéis de Belém, a bakery that has been selling Portugal's famous custard tarts since the nineteenth century. Don't bother asking the bakers for the recipe; it's one of the country's most well-kept secrets.
Hop on the train again and spend an afternoon on the beach in Cascais, a coastal town 15 miles west of Lisbon that served as the royal family's residence for five centuries and is now a go-to vacation destination for celebrities. In addition to the gorgeous sand beaches and well-preserved old buildings, the town has an array of seafood restaurants that offer top-notch dishes. Try the squid with vegetables and potatoes at Luzmar or have some grilled sardines, a Portuguese classic, at one of the many waterfront dining places overlooking the bay.

Talented students from Cardiff's creative writing course have had their poetry and prose published in a new anthology.
The book - Black Waves in Cardiff Bay - is a celebration of new and emerging voices from the prestigious MA course in creative writing at the School of English, Communication and Philosophy.
11 new writers from around the world, who were students at the School during 2007 and 2008, are featured in the book.
Contributions include work by Nia Wyn, author of Blue Sky July which was shortlisted for Wales Book of The Year 2008 and William Muir, a novelist whose first book, The 18th Pale Descendant won the Commonwealth Writers Prize First Novel Award 2002.
The anthology was edited by Dr John Freeman, of the School: "This is the first ever commercially published anthology of Cardiff students' work," said Dr Freeman. "I believe the writing here will surprise and delight readers by the very high standard of its achievement, its enormous variety, and its engrossing and enjoyable qualities; and that it can hold its own with any anthology of new writing you care to mention. See if you don't think so when you have read it all."
Black Waves in Cardiff Bay is published on 1 November 2008 by Cinnamon Press. There will be an official book launch at the School on November 12th 2008 at 2pm, to which staff and students are invited.
Further information about the launch is available by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com and the book is available via Amazon.

Appliance giant Whirlpool Corp. (Benton Harbor, MI) reported second quarter 2013 GAAP net earnings of $198 million, up from net earnings of $113 million in the second quarter of 2012.
Sales in the second quarter of 2013 were $4.7 billion, up from $4.5 billion in 2Q 2012. Excluding the impact of foreign currency and the impact of Brazilian (BEFIEX) tax credits, sales were up about 6%.
"Sales increased in every region of the world as we continued to expand margins," said Whirlpool Chairman and CEO Jeff M. Fettig. "Our financial results reflect increased demand for our innovative products and continued benefits from our margin expansion actions."
Second-quarter GAAP operating profit was $328 million, from $194 million in 2Q 2012. On an adjusted basis, operating profit was $335 million, or 7% of sales, from $222 million, or about 5% of sales, in 2Q 2012.
Whirlpool said higher global volume, ongoing cost productivity, and the benefits of cost and capacity-reduction initiatives all helped achieve better 2Q 2013 results.
Whirlpool Corp. increased its full-year diluted earnings per share guidance and full-year adjusted earnings per share guidance. The full-year diluted earnings per share guidance is increasing to $10.05 to $10.55, up from the previous range of $9.80 to $10.30. Full-year adjusted earnings per share guidance is increasing to $9.50 to $10.00, up from the previous range of $9.25 to $9.75.

Can you relate to at least one of the three men above?
Well, I can too. Err.. Not really anymore, more like I used to till I learned the art, yes it's an art, of online dating. Let's face it - it's really hard to be a man on an online dating site - you are competing with hoards of horny guys(some who can literally afford to spend 24 hours a day on dating sites carpet bombing and mass spamming any profile who's sex is 'female'). Numbers are NOT in our favor - Every dating site has atleast 2 men for every woman. Even if you're a decent guy who otherwise doesn't have much problems getting dates in real life, but are trying out online dating(for whatever reason - busy work sched, over the bar scene etc etc), you could really hit a stonewall if you don't know how it's done(most probably because the "Hey Julie, You have a great profile.." you sent her, is extremely boring for her as she's seen it countless times so she'll club with you other boring losers when in reality you might not be). I'll give you a little secret - online dating is really hard for a woman too! But for the opposite reasons - how to identify the right guy from the army of guys messaging her? I have many female friends who are pretty frustrated with online dating because of the lack of quality guys and some have even who've given up online dating after only a couple of weeks because their mailboxes were flooded with 200+ messages and couldn't login and read without thousands of IM windows popping up every second.
Not sure if it's a boon or a bane but it's surely a fact that club game is fast becoming obsolete - people(read:girls) don't go out to actually meet people but just to "hangout with friends" or "dance", and most girls are especially glued to their smartphones all the time, making any possibility of interaction zero.
Then why does online dating exist?
Well, for those who know have figured out how it's done, it can be nothing short of a Goldmine! Whatever your end goal might be - to get into an LTR, get married, break a dry spell or just play the field indefinitely, online dating can provide you some serious rewards. The beauty of the game is that it does not take a lot to figure it out, and once that happens, you can pretty much schedule a date for everyday at the comfort of your armchair.
I have personally gone from getting 0 replies to 100 emails to having phases of 2-4(which is ALOT for a guy) women initiating contact every day! And filling up my week with 10+ dates totally as per my convenience! The secret lies in effective profile creation, picture selection and an evocative initial message. And no, I'm not a particularly goodlooking guy, or very tall and even belong to a minority race(I'm mentioning this only to alleviate fears of guys who are too hung up on race)
Another major thing that most people don't realize is that by using online dating, it is very convenient to find "your kind" of girl or be sought out by her. There are many men and women who are instantly attracted to a particular type, for instance, some women like tall nerdy types or scientists or musicians or hobbyists just like some guys like blonds, petite women. And not to forget, many young guys have a cougar/milf fetish but are clueless about where to meet them. So how do you track down your kind of women? Just use the search feature! One of the guys I helped had a serious fetish for petite girls(>5'1") but would hardly meet them in real life, or they would get intimated as he's a big guy. Like you guessed, online dating solved the problem and now this dude can't thank me enough!
So what am I offering?
How to create an effective profile
How to send an eye-catching initial message
How and when to ask for the number
How to setup a date
And MOST IMPORTANTLY, I will only charge you AFTER setting up a date
Btw, OkCupid is my speciality but my methods work for other sites as well. I will only help you if I truly feel I can, and by the the same note, once I have committed, I'll only take the major portion of my payment upon real success(which is getting a number)
I know a lot of people charge ridiculous amounts($3000, $1500, $400 was the lowest I found in a quick search). Look, I'm not hear to cheat you, fool you or rip you off. I'm not offering any sort of a magic pill or claim that your love life would change overnight and neither do I mince my words. If I can't help you, I'll let you know.
I feel strongly for guys who have everything else going on in their lives but are missing out on women, because I used to be such a guy before. Though I'm still a strong advocate of the old-fashioned game, but it's just not possible for some of us(especially those who don't have night-gaming skills or the time to go out, get numbers, have flakes, and ultimately be left with nothing but frustration). And as a matter of fact, the emergence of online dating has actually reduced the number of women who used to go out at night looking for a guy. A lot of decent guys out there are making 6 figures, dress well, are genuinely good guys(I personally know and have helped many such guys who are scientists, software engineers, lawyers, Phd's, professors) but fail to translate professional success into success with women. And then there are countless lonely women who'll pay a fortune to find a decent guy but fail to do so due to the aforementioned reasons.
This is not my fulltime job so I don't care much about money here, but I also believe that you only value what you've paid for so I'll charge you AFTER I've helped you get success. Initially, you'll have to contact me with your problem and your profile. I'll study and suggest you a course of action, and upon success(getting a number) I'll charge you. I'll only be working with guys I feel I can genuinely help.. and as I said earlier, I'm not into giving false hopes and ripping people off!

South African Companies Explore Business Opportunities In Equatorial Guinea
Delegation promotes bilateral trade and investment
MALABO, Equatorial Guinea, Feb. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- South Africa's Vice Minister of Commerce and Industry, Elizabeth Thabethe, brought a South African delegation to Equatorial Guinea this week to explore business opportunities and enhance bilateral relations.
There are a total of 13 representatives from various South African companies participating in the delegation. The group arrived Monday, February 4, 2013 and will be leaving Friday, February 8, 2013.
"This mission will be taking place within the context of South Africa's strategic engagement with the rest of the continent, aimed at supporting Africa's economic revival, socioeconomic development and promoting intra-Africa trade," Thabethe said.Over the course of the week, the delegates will meet with Equatorial Guinean business representatives and participate in a trade and investment seminar. According to an article in The New Age the program will specifically focus on sectors such as agro-processing, infrastructure, electro-technical and capital and mining equipment. President Obiang has recently been working to enhance cooperation between African countries in a variety of sectors. In 2011, President Obiang Nguema Mbasogo visited South Africa to improve trade and investment relations. The exchange reflects growing cooperation between African countries, specifically Equatorial Guinea and South Africa. About Equatorial Guinea The Republic of Equatorial Guinea ( Republica de Guinea Ecuatorial) is the only Spanish-speaking country in Africa, and one of the smallest nations on the continent. In the late-1990s, American companies helped discover the country's oil and natural gas resources, which only within the last five years began contributing to the global energy supply. Equatorial Guinea is now working to serve as a pillar of stability and security in its region of West Central Africa. The country hosted the 2011 Summit of the African Union.

Start-Up Metacloud Gets Ready for Big Funding
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Metacloud, the Los Angeles-based IT outsourcing start-up is likely to announce a large venture capital funding round within the next few weeks, said co-founder Sean Lynch. The proceeds will be used to help the company grab market share through the build-out of its marketing and sales force, Lynch said in an interview earlier this week.
Late last year, Metacloud said venture capital firm Storm Partners and former Yahoo! CEO Jerry Yang's AME Cloud Ventures invested an undisclosed sum of money in the company, which was founded in 2011.
Lynch said the new round of funding will be "significant" relative to the size of the company. Up until now, the company has invested most of its capital in engineering and customer support.
"Note that this is in stark contrast to many of our competitors who have invested in marketing first and product development second," said Lynch. "Now it's time for us to sell.""We have more commercial traction than probably anyone else in the OpenStack space, yet we're relatively not well known," he said. "I think we'll be much more well-known over the coming months as we really start to pour a lot of investment fuel on marketing." Just this week, Metacloud announced the release of its upgraded flagship, enterprise OpenStack-based operating system product Carbon|OS. OpenStack is an open-source cloud computing platform. Though Metacloud has been a quieter player in the cloud world, it has already attracted a number of global Fortune 20 companies who have had their private data centers operated by Metacloud since April 2012. Most recently, the company signed on two large media streaming firms; a big Amazon (AMZN) customer who will be moving to Metacloud in about two months; and a multibillion-dollar multinational hardware company that has agreed to begin shipping out server hardware powered by Metacloud software. Recently IPO'd Tableau Software (DATA) has been a Metacloud customer since June of last year after transferring some of its private data center needs to Metacloud from VMware (VMW). Metacloud said that it differentiates itself from peers by charging customers only a nominal per socket per month subscription fee for its services and basically provides its software and ongoing software updates for free. Furthermore, Metacloud said its Carbon|OS product delivers a public, cloud-like experience within the enterprise customers' own data centers, giving them a safe and easy way to access their data.

USPS $1.1B Loss Could Force Maximum Rate Hike Next Year
David Straus: ŌĆśYou could be looking at rates going up 5 to 6 percent.ŌĆÖ
The U.S. Postal Service has a fiscal year-to-date net loss of $1.13 billion, including a greater-than-expected loss for the third quarter, at $1.1 billion. The USPS says it expects a year-end net loss. That could spell more bad news for the magazine industry.
ŌĆ£The next rate increase will most likely be the maximum under the law,ŌĆØ ABM Washington Counsel David Straus tells FOLIO:. ŌĆ£The way the CPI [Consumer Price Index] is going, you could be looking at periodicals rates going up 5 or 6 percent for some publicationsŌĆöabout double the 2.9 percent increase we saw in May.ŌĆØ
The next rate increase, according to Straus, ŌĆ£almost certainlyŌĆØ will be May 2009.
For the third quarter 2008, the Postal Service reported operating revenue at $17.9 billion, down 2.4 percent from the same period in 2007. Operating expenses were $19 billion, an increase of 1 percent from the third quarter last year. Mail volume dropped 5.5 percent during the quarter, reaching 48.5 billion pieces.
According to Postmaster General John Potter, mail volume may not return to previous levels when the economy rebounds. ŌĆ£This requires that we significantly accelerate process improvements and the realignment of resources in order to achieve long-term financial success,ŌĆØ he said in a statement.

Under the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act, the Postal Service may ŌĆ£bankŌĆØ the difference between the CPI cap and the implemented price changes and has extensive flexibility to vary rates within classes as long as the class average is CPI-limited.

Intelligent Mail Barcode Update
At yesterdayŌĆÖs Mailers Technical Advisory Committee meeting, Postmaster General Potter reportedly announced, despite a press release saying that no pricing decisions have been reached, that there will not be a discount for mail sent using the IMB, according to Straus.

ŌĆ£This was the number one topic of discussionŌĆØ at the meeting, Straus says. ŌĆ£Mailers are very upset and I think are close to rebellion.ŌĆØ

Fresh Alaskan Grilled Salmon
- At June 27, 2013

Father's Day provided me with some cedar wood grill planks. When I first saw these available in stores, I was skeptical. Were these really going to boost the flavor and make me the neighborhood grill lord?
I should be more trusting, due to all of the times I smoke (meat) and use flavored wood chips. They really affect the meat flavor, but it's a process which can take from 14-18 hours. This grilled salmon was going to take 10 minutes…tops.
I eat my words. The cedar flavor wasn't life-changing, but it was there and when the plank was on the heat, the smell was really there. First rule of thumb is to give the planks a really good soak, and the second rule would be not to leave it unattended. Sometimes this is easier said than done. The planks come in packs of two and the first plank I used became ash… poof, just like that! I was probably distracted by a certain three-year-old who
probably definitely was doing something illegal. By the time I returned to the grill, the plank was literally gone. This time using the second plank I didn't leave the grill, and said three-year-old was taking a nap…score!
I used Alaskan Sockeye salmon because it's in season, well-priced and super easy to cook. Its deep pink color and fresh taste make it a huge favorite in our house. The kids will eat huge fillets of salmon without any fuss, only needing some seasoning and fresh herbs. It cooks fast and can be added to pasta, salads, rice, grains…anything! It's also high in omega-3 fatty acids. Acceptable catch amounts set by the State of Alaska ensures fish for our future…I can't imagine buying salmon at $30 per pound just because we didn't pay attention to over-fishing. To find out more check out Alaskaseafood.org and remember how easy it is to cook fish! I'm also excited to be visiting Alaska in a few weeks, so you can be sure I'll be stuffing myself full of fresh, local seafood! Follow me on my journey through Instagram.
- 1 pound Alaskan Sockeye salmon fillets
- 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon thyme, finely chopped
- Seasoning of your choice
- 1 lemon, halved
- Make sure your grill plank has been soaked in water for at least 1 hour before.
- Preheat the grill to high and keep one side on a low heat.
- Place the salmon on the plank, drizzle with the olive oil.
- Season well, I used some lemon pepper seasoning.
- Sprinkle with the chopped thyme.
- Place the plank onto the grill on the indirect side of the heat.
- Grill for about 10 minutes and the salmon is slightly firm to the touch.
- Don't overcook it as it'll keep cooking after it comes off the grill.
- Squeeze the lemon over the salmon and serve at once.

I love cedar plank salmon. I find you get more cedar flavour if you only soak the boards for a single hour, no more. Yours is beautiful!June 28, 2013
Hmm, good to know. The first board was soaked overnight but the second one for about an hour.June 28, 2013
Have a blast in Alaska. I went last year and it was life changing! GREGJune 28, 2013
Your kinda scaring me Greg ;) Not sure I need life changing right now lol. Some zen would be nice though.June 28, 2013
Please, a moment of silence for a good plank who was lost far too soon.
And, I have to try this, fits right in to my current grill obsession.June 28, 2013
Thanks for your kind words Miss Dodd. The plank was a great friend and will be sadly missed…June 28, 2013

Salmon is such a great family dinner! I want to make this soon :)June 28, 2013
I bought some Sockeye last week at Whole Foods when they ran their one day sale and stocked up my freezer. I loooove me some salmon, but my husband hasn't been convinced the plank imparts much flavor. Still trying to convert the Smudge into liking it, you're lucky.June 28, 2013
Aww Smudge should hang out with Mir and have like a salmon party :) Like I said, the plank isn't a deal breaker for me but I prefer it to searing it in a pan and it's more fun :)June 28, 2013
This looks fantastic, Gerry!!June 28, 2013
I seriously need to get a dang grill!!! And ps – you go on the most amazing trips!!!June 29, 2013
LOL – the trials of cooking with a 3-year-old around! Sorry to hear about that plank. But your salmon is absolutely gorgeous! Makes me want cedar-planked salmon for dinner…June 29, 2013
Greetings, this is my first visit to your site, having skipped on over from Greg at Sippity Sup. What a glorious post! You photos are beautiful and showcase your food to great advantage, and I enjoyed the narrative. I also applaud your ability to cook, write and raise a kiddo. Bravo! You've got a new reader.

DALLAS As we count down to 50 years since President Kennedy's assassination in Dallas, we're bringing you the stories of the people behind the events.
On Saturday, former Associated Press political reporter Walter Mears shared his memories at the Sixth Floor Museum. He covered every presidential election from Kennedy's win in 1960 to the Bush-Gore fight in 2000.
Mears said it's important to share these stories with the next generation.
'So many people have grown up not knowing that era,' he said. 'To me, it's part of my personal history. But to my children who are in their 40s now the assassination of Jack Kennedy is as remote as the assassination of Abraham Lincoln was to me when I was growing up.'
Mears noted there are more than 1,400 books about the Kennedy assassination. 'It's part of our history that people want to know about,' he said.
Mears' talk was part of the Sixth Floor Museum's 'Living History' series, which continues October 12 with the recollections of AP photographer Ferd Kaufman, who took one of the first pictures of Lee Harvey Oswald after he was taken into custody.

Diet and exercise may help reduce cancer recurrence
May Harter, M.S., R.D., CD/N [June 22 2012]
Although we cannot change our genetic makeup, eating healthier, reaching and maintaining a healthy weight and being more physically active may reduce the chance of cancer recurrence. Here are six ways to get started:
1) Small changes can lead to big results. Making drastic changes or too many changes at once can make it hard to stick with change. Pick one behavior, set realistic goals, evaluate how the change is going and reward yourself for that change. Example: I will walk 15 minutes Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. If I accomplish this, I will walk 17 minutes three days the following week and buy new workout clothing.
2) Cut calories, lose weight. By eliminating 100 calories daily, you can lose 10 pounds in one year. Examples:
• Eat one less slice of cheese
• Eat one less half-cup of rice or pasta
• Use light vs. regular salad dressing
• Drink 1 cup or less juice daily
• Eat a few less bites of dessert
3) Fill half your plate with brightly colored fruits and vegetables. They have phytochemicals (plant chemicals) that help fight cancer. Think rainbow: blueberries, eggplant, broccoli, oranges, cauliflower, peppers and tomatoes.
4) Eat less animal proteins and more leaner meats. Reduce red meats like beef, pork, lamb, and luncheon meats like bacon, sausage and ham. Eat leaner proteins like fish, poultry and eggs. Add plant-based proteins like beans, quinoa, tofu, nuts, and seeds.
5) Add more whole grains, fiber. Whole grains, foods made up of the entire grain seed, and fiber help us feel more full which lead to eating less calories. Fiber speeds up food going through our digestive tract reducing exposure of carcinogens and toxins in the body. Fiber-rich foods include whole wheat bread, cereals like oatmeal and bran, fruits, vegetables, beans, seeds and nuts.
6) Adopt a physically active life. Adults should aim for 150 minutes of moderate intensity activity or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise per week. Examples of moderate intensity are walking, dancing, leisurely bicycling, mowing the lawn and gardening. Vigorous activity includes running, fast bicycling, swimming, soccer, carpentry and heavy manual labor. Limit time sitting, watching screen-based entertainment like television.

Topic Outline
Congenital anomalies are the product of errors in embryogenesis (malformations) or the result of intrauterine events that affect embryonic and fetal growth (deformations and disruptions) [1]. The more complex the formation of a structure, the more opportunities for malformation. (See "Genetic and environmental causes of birth defects" and "Principles of teratology" and "Approach to congenital malformations".)
Defects in the formation and growth of the jaw, oral cavity, and pharynx lead to a variety of malformations. The embryology, clinical features, and management of congenital anomalies of the oral cavity and pharynx are reviewed here. Congenital anomalies of the ear, nose, and upper aerodigestive tract are discussed separately. (See appropriate topic reviews).
The oral cavity is separated from the nasal cavity posteriorly by midline fusion of the secondary palate and anteriorly by the approximation of the primary palate to these shelves. The two halves of the lower jaw arise from mesenchyme derived from the first branchial arch (figure 1) and eventually fuse medially. Midline union of the mandibular portions of the first branchial arches, the earliest fusion event in the face, normally occurs during the fourth week of intrauterine life.
The anterior two-thirds of the tongue are formed from two lateral swellings that arise from the first branchial arch. The posterior one-third of the tongue develops behind the foramen cecum from second arch mesenchyme. Thus, the anterior and posterior sections of the tongue have separate innervations and blood supplies.
The parotid glands arise from solid epithelial cords that proliferate from the ectodermal lining of the primitive mouth. The submandibular glands are of endodermal origin [2].

text: Ruben Bolling, pseudonym of mild-mannered Ken Fisher, is the comic artist who created the alternative comic 'Tom the Dancing Bug'. This strip features no bugs or dancing, but is a way for Bolling to experiment with different cartoon formulas, commenting on social and cultural conditions. Fisher studied economics and later attended Harvard Law School. It was at Harvard in the mid-1980s that he came up with the idea for 'Tom the Dancing Bug' and his pseudonym Ruben Bolling. After graduation he practiced law for several years before resigning to pursue comic writing full-time. Bolling's work is still considered "alternative", but deserves more mainstream attention, which is why it won the Alternative Newsweekly Award. 'Tom the Dancing Bug' is now featured as a weekly comic strip.
