Creatures with blades attached to legs or feet
I can't think of any alternate titles at the moment, but if anyone has any, fire away. Subtrope of Anatomy Arsenal. Not to be confused with Armed Feet. Who needs shoes or attachments with blades if you have your own built in weaponry on your legs or feet? Anime and Manga In Toriko, the eponymous character loses the use of his "knife" attack due to the loss of his arm in a fight and counters the injury by learning to use it with his legs as well. Comic Books Action Girl X-23 from X-men being the female clone of Wolverine has two bone-claws in her forearms and one in each foot. These have been pulled out, coated with adamantium, andthen put back. Literature

Wow! Just spectacular. One of the best single moves we've ever featured in a video on Chess.com! GM Mikhalevski plays a sharp opposite-side castling position, where he eventually disrupts Black's development by invading on the 8th rank. But the picturesque obstruction tactic that creates zugzwang is truly remarkable. If you're able to see it coming before he shows you, maybe it's time you came to work for us! | Watch video
GM Bojkov features another star student's game. You'll see a bevy of dark-squared tactics in Indian Systems, but perhaps more important are the endgame techniques that our author wants you to learn. First, a queen endgame, then it eventually transitions to a knight endgame, where you must also know your king and pawn endgame basics. Bojkov warns you to always consider "What is the biggest danger in the position?" | Watch video
Today you'll see our regular video author GM Khachiyan have to beat a young IM about a half-dozen times. Equally important perhaps is seeing how Black makes life as difficult as possible for the GM. The tenacity leads to a worse, but still imbalanced and highly rare R+N+3P versus Q endgame. Who needs time-delay and increment when this kind of fun ensues with regular clocks? We guarantee you'll learn more than from the t.v. show "The O.C." | Watch video
GM Perelshteyn starts off the new year with another success in his offbeat treatment against the Sämisch. You'll see how the typical King's Indian pawn sac can be used in his flexible system. There's not as much theory here as in other lines, so maybe you'll adopt this weapon as your own. Why not get off on the right foot in 2014 and resolve to learn more openings! | Watch video
Still thinking that the main line Max Lange is the way to go for White? Well Black may not allow it, and here GM Dzindzichashvili shows why you also need to know the main variations of the Giuoco Piano. But instead of the century-old Qb3 variation, he's got some of that good ol' Georgian home cookin' for you. Watch and learn a more fighting way that improves upon the 19th century masters. | Watch video
GM Bojkov's talented student is back. Today you'll see one of the games that helped Dom gain nearly 500 rating points. Black gets two pieces for the rook, and all of the fun. White's major pieces shuffle around listlessly as Coach Bojkov shows Dom constantly improving the worst-place piece. Sometimes that is even the king! Watch and see the torturous straightjacket that White is forced to wear. | Watch video
Needing a win, GM Khachiyan uncharacteristically opens with 1. Nf3 and pretty soon faces a double fianchetto. But the game hinges on control of the d-file and what he calls the "Anti-Nimzowitsch." You'll be amazed at the simplicity with which the GM controls the entire board and stifles those black bishops. His opponent has to resign without even being down any material! | Watch video
More incredibly deep analysis from GM Dzindzichashvili! Even though he calls it a "preview," today's video goes in-depth to the e5 system in the Two Knights Defense. Analysis both ...Ng4 and ...Ne4 (saving ...d5 for another day), our author shows how White can get every ounce of initiative for his sacrificed pawn. If you're going to play a gambit, you had better know your lines. Enjoy the open files and the video! | Watch video
As usual, another video potpourri from the always unpredictable IM Danny Rensch. Commenting live in a 10-minute game, Rensch loses several minutes explaining his opening choices and referencing every slapstick comedy from his childhood. Chess-wise, you'll learn some ideas in the Accelerated Dragon, especially about attacking anchor pawns. White finishes in style, offering the lady then cloning her back to force mate. | Watch video
GM Melik proudly shows off a game from one of his star students - a player he compares to some of America's newest IMs and GMs. It may not be a name you are familiar with, but that makes it all the more impressive how he takes out a seasoned grandmaster. Watch and see NM Craig Hilby showing positional mastery well beyond his years. You'll also learn why Melik thinks the Ruy Lopez is the king of openings. Learn it and you'll be ready for all pawn structures. | Watch video

My second pair. Work for me with no issues over all terrain (North Wales, Peaks, Lakes)
These are my first disc brakes and they seem to work in the same way as my trusty old V's... I pull the lever and my bike stops. I was concerned that there might be an all or nothing effect with them but there is a good range of modulation. Overall really pleased with the purchase and am unlikely to go back to V brakes.
Excellent Brakes. Unbeatable value for money. Light in weight, excellent in both design and construction, easy to fit and tweak, outstandingly strong braking performance and very good modulation. They are totally reliable too. This is the third set of Formula RX brakes that I have purchased from Merlin. I think I have made my point.
I purchased these brakes as an upgrade to my avid Elixir 5s which I was having problems with. The price that Merlin had them up for was amazing, they were delivered very quick, I fitted them that day, very easy to do they were already bled, hoses where perfect length for my 29" hardtail. I bedded them in by doing 20 hard braking stops then cooling them with water.They stop you so easy, one finger braking, front brake has a buzzing sound when braking hard which sounds great. These are the 160mm rotors compared to my old 180mm rotors, but stop much better, size isn't important!! Great brakes, Great service Merlin.
Amazing brakes very powerful & easy 1 finger braking. I was planing to replace my existing brakes in the new year & was planing to go for Shimano XT started to look around & went for the Formula's with over 60"/" off it was a no brainer.
Usual Merlin service ordered on Friday pm delivered on Saturday amazing!
Excellent product at a very reasonable price. Formidable stopping power and smooth modulation even with the 160 mm rotors. No "bedding in" period required perfect from the outset and no issues at all over the 4 day / 180 miles of the Pennine Bridleway recently completed plus still going strong. Also arrived the day after ordering, all in all very impressive
The best you can get in my opinion, proper one finger braking, superb.
I have been using these brakes virtually every day for 5 months now and I have to say that they are excellent! The rotors look too small to be effective but have fantastic stopping power. Pads bedded in easily and with the adjustable reach on the levers this is a great bonus.
Easy to fit and set up. Good modulation and reach setup. Cable length was good for my hardtail.
Fantastic stoppers at a fantastic price.
Vast improvement over the Avid Elixir 3s that they replaced. The Avids needed an overhaul and after pricing up the parts, it was a no-brainer just to upgrade thanks to Merlin's discounts.
I was concerned that going up to 203mm rotors would be a bit overkill for a slack AM hardtail, but the modulation is great and the power is all useable.
Would definitely recommend Formula brakes.
Great brakes! I have a Shimano XT on my other bike and they perform pretty much the same.
The Formula looks a lot better!
Great brakes, great stopping power, easy to maintain, has a beautiful design and has the best mechanism. In any type of terrain it works very well. Recommend to everyone.
Great Price! great product! front one could possibly do with a bleed as its using most of its lever travel compared to the rear but that will only take me a few minutes. Very happy.
Quality product, however don't buy this set if you have a full suss bike where the cables route below the bottom bracket, as even on a small frame a 1400mm hose for the rear brake (as supplied in this kit) is too short.
Fantastic brake. A little patience is needed to set up, plus the pads took time to break in, but once everything settled, amazing! Stupid top end power.
Really love these brakes
Changed from my avid elixir 7
The stopping power is great and for a full brake set you won't get cheaper on the net
Arrived ready to go .....just put on bike and away I went .....good quality and well made also easy to fit ......would highly recommend...........
I am happy with the brake now it is fitted and I have been for several bike rides. I have had no trouble stopping even on some fairly rough gravity fed trails. The brake is bang on for looks and is a doddle to install. In my opinion they could do with more reach adjustment and any feel adjustment would be good, but they are a very solid brake and a bargain at this price really.
Received my item within a couple of days of purchase as promised. Brakes are in immaculate order, at such a fantastic price there is no room for complaints. Brakes fitted and have been blasting them round my local Forest. 2 thumbs up merlin cycles, I will definitely recommend you to my riding buds
Great stopping power and well-designed. This is my second set of RX brakes, and though the first set squeaked for 6 months, they functioned better than any brakes I've ever owned, and that eventually went away (sintered pads helped). The price is incredible for these brakes and Merlin was great in shipping and speed.
Highly recommend. Top built quality for the price category, excellent stopping power. Very good service as usual from Merlin.
A high quality essential bit of kit for an amazingly low purchase price! As a long term advocate of V brakes for commuter use I was initially sceptical of advantages of performance vs weight gain. However for no real extra weight i've gained significant brakinhg power and enhanced safety. A must for all city commuters!
Outstanding value for a full set including discs. Mine came with longer hoses than advertised - 1000mm fr and 1650mm rr, so they will comfortably fit a 6inch travel full suss.
Bought these for my hardtail, but at this price I'm thinking of get another set for my full suss.
Very Very good value product.
Hassle free service, very swift too!
I have used Merlin several times; never disappointing. 10/10!
Italian precision braking at incredible value from Merlin, having been searching for a suitable affordable upgrade for my brakes I have to commend the excellent value and quality supplied with my new Formula RX braking set along with the over sized 203mm rotors and fitting kit. The brakes arrived bled and ready to fit so far they have worked well and my only tip would be to buy some sintered pads as the resin ones aren't my favorite. Thanks again Dougie
I ordered these Formular brakes as an upgrade of the stock Elixir 1's on my Rockhopper after riding a pair whilst in The Alps earlier this year.
The brakes themselves are of exceptional quality, well built and were easy to install as they came already bleed. After a few hours riding and a little play with the reach adjust these are working beautifully.
They bite very early into the lever stroke and stop the bike almost dead. Those that like a slightly "spongier" feel to their brakes and a little more modulation may not love these as much as I do but I have to say that these are the best stoppers I've had the privellige of owning.
Excellent service from Merlin, I ordered these at lunchtime and received them the following morning, superb service and a reason for me to keep Merlin in my Favourites list for future purchases.
5 out of 5
Light weight, and relatively cheap. Pads didn't take long to break in, and good power once they had, even with only 160mm on the front. Rear brake was not perfectly bled out of the box and no instructions came with the package, but all tech info is easy to find on the net

Get a traditional feel with this acorn-tipped 7A.
Dubbed "traditional" because Vater's regular 7A is longer and has a different tip shape than standard 7As in the industry. This classic-style 7A has a great feel for lighter playing. The drumsticks' small acorn tip delivers full cymbal and drum sounds without being overbearing.

Wedding: 6/22/2013
I loved everything about this place, it was the perfect place my guest of 150.
Wedding: 2/9/2013
Beautiful venue for our wedding and in our price range.
Wedding: 5/26/2012
I loved the old medical school building. Its got character and its a great price for what you get!!
Wedding: 6/30/2012
With Lisa's Touch doing the decorating, my reception in this building was beautiful. The price was the main factor in choosing, and everything turned out great.
Wedding: 1/14/2012
My fiance and I went through numerous numerous vendors before stumbling onto the old medical school building. We had almost settled on another venue when we decided, as a last minute option, to check it out.
The big thing that makes this venue different than other venues is the friendly staff and general PROFESSIONALISM of the venue. They were easy to talk to, expected us when we arrived, were accommodating and very honest and open about their pricing and policies.
Other venues we spoke to treated us like a hassle when we were there to spend money and were very rude about regulations when we inquired. We had venues change pricing when we followed up and added extra fees they didn't discuss with us in the original meeting. They wasted our time.
They also were top notch as far as value. We were able to reserve the day before the wedding, two rooms, and still spend almost $1000 than the other venues we looked into.
I could not have been happier with this venue.
Wedding: 10/8/2011
They were great to work with and I could bring in my own booze & food which saved me a ton of money. My only complaint was that we couldn't get in the building before noon without paying extra. That only gave us 2 hours before the ceremony to decorate!
Wedding: 7/18/2011
This is a very affordable venue and a nice place to have the ceremony and reception! It is a beautiful building and very easy to decorate! They allow you to use your own caterer (even friends or family). Parking was a bit of an issue, only about 35 spaces so after all those are filled you have to park next door at the YMCA. But over all I was very satisfied! It is a very beautiful building!
Wedding: 3/19/2011
Liked that you could bring in your own alcohol
Wedding: 4/2/2011
I am regretting doing my reception at this site. The hours for the price were NOT a good value. It was difficult to get in there, hard to get in touch with the contact person sometimes and we had to pay way too much to have it and have time to decorate. We couldn't get the air conditioning turned on, so my guests were all sweating and complaining about the heat. The only good thing about it I guess was the dance floor, and that they returned our deposit to us quickly.
Wedding: 3/11/2011
This venue is easy to decorate and near beautiful downtown. The historic building is gorgeous. Parking may be an issue for week night events-but we loved our experience.
Wedding: 7/17/2010
The old medical school was chosen because of cost (they held 200 people for less than $1000), availability, because I could use any number of caterers that I chose, and because my husband is in med school- so it was a little nostalgic. The room was great, though it was downtown and the parking was a little bit rough, but it seemed to work out fine. They did a great job setting up for the wedding, and having everything there that I needed. The staff was extremely nice, but very hard to get in touch with, or to meet with on any kind of short notice. I would say that communication barriers were the most frustrating thing for this venue. Everything else was great, and though there were a few glitches I would choose them again, because it worked extremely well for my needs.

ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- Some people with criminal records could soon have an easier time finding a job.
State Representative John Cabello introduced a bill that would seal the records on non-violent offenders when they get out of prison. Right now they have to wait four years for their records to be sealed.
Cabello says ex-offenders are less likely to return to a life of crime if they can get a job, but right now many can't with a record hanging over their head.
If the bill passes there would be some requirements. In addition to being non-violent offender the person has to have taken some sort of education course while in prison.

Hands-On: Alcatel OneTouch Pop Mega and Pop Star
Alcatel revealed two new Android smartphones headed to Tracfone later this year, the Pop Mega and the Pop Star. Here are a few thoughts on these low-cost cell phones.
AT&T to Divest America Movil Stake to Carlos Slim
AT&T plans to sell off its entire remaining stake in America Movil to Carlos Slim for about $5.6 billion. AT&T holds 8.3% of America Movil stock, but garners 24% of the company's voting rights. Carlos Slim's holding company, Inmobiliaria Carso, will pay AT&T $4.57 billion when the deal closes, followed by an addition $1 billion 60 days after closing. AT&T sold about half its stake in America Movil last June and already removed its designees from American Movil's board of directors. AT&T tipped the divestiture when it announced plans to acquire DirecTV earlier this year. AT&T hopes the sell off will improve its chances of gaining regulatory approval for its DirecTV acquisition. America Movil owns and operates TracFone wireless, the largest MVNO operating in the U.S. with 25 million customers.
TracFone, Others Socked with $14.4M in FCC Fines
The Federal Communications Commission is levying fines against a handful of network operators that it says violated rules governing the Lifeline program. According to the FCC, Assist Wireless, Easy Wireless, Icon Telecom, TracFone, and UTPhone all allowed some consumers to obtain more than a single Lifeline subscription. Consumers are allowed only one line, and the FCC believes the carriers in question knew, or should have known, that the duplicate lines were being given to ineligible people. The Lifeline program provides free phones and service to low-income Americans. The FCC is taking the action in order to reduce waste. The five carriers are being fined a total of $14.4 million, with the damages ranging between $1.23 million and $4.8 million per carrier. TracFone responded to the FCC's punishment, claiming that fewer than 850 of its customers were involved, who totaled only $8,000 in duplicate billing. "With almost 4 million Lifeline customers, obviously this is a very small percent. We do not believe that our conduct violated any rules or that the proposed FCC action is warranted."
TracFone Comes Straight on StraightTalk Throttling
TracFone today provided some clarity on its data throttling policies for its StraighTalk and Net10 brands. According to TracFone, both its $45 and $60 unlimited plans for StraightTalk include 2.5GB of high-speed data. Customers who surpass the 2.5GB soft cap during a 30-day billing cycle will see their data reduced to 2G speeds for the remainder of the billing cycle. High-speed data will be restored when the customer re-ups for another 30 days. Similar limits apply to TracFone's $50 and $65 Net10 plans. TracFone was recently sued by consumers in California over falsely advertising StraightTalk's service as "unlimited" without defining the 2.5GB soft cap for throttling. TracFone is an MVNO owned by America Movil, and uses the networks of AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon Wireless. The StraighTalk brand is sold at Walmart stores.
Huawei's First Windows Phone Hits Walmart this Month
Huawei today announced that the W1, its first Windows Phone 8 smartphone, will be available at Walmart stores in the U.S. beginning later this month. The W1 is known as the Ascend W1 in other markets. It features a 4-inch LCD screen with 800 x 480 pixels, a dual-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon processor, a 5-megapixel camera with 720p video capture, 1.7GB of internal storage, and support for microSD cards up to 32GB. Huawei did not say which carrier will provide service for the W1, but Walmart sells TracFone devices, and the W1 is compatible with TracFone's network. Pricing was not provided, nor was the exact release date.
Samsung Shows Off S275G Flip for TracFone
Samsung recently revealed details about the S275G, a simple flip phone for TracFone. The S275 has two displays; the main display measures 1.75 inches and has 128 x 180 pixels, while the external display measures 1 inch and has 96 x 96 pixels. The S275G also includes a 1.3-megapixel camera with video capture and a dedicated camera button, basic music/video players, a WAP browser, and Bluetooth.

Other features of the S425G include a 2-megapixel camera with video capture, Bluetooth, speakerphone, music and video players, and support for microSD cards up to 32GB. Pricing and availability have yet to be announced.
TracFone Snaps Up Simple Mobile
Prepaid MVNO TracFone today announced an agreement to acquire SIM-only prepaid MVNO Simple Mobile. Simple Mobile operates a SIM-card-only service where customers bring their own GSM phones. Simple uses T-Mobile USA's network. TracFone is also an MVNO, using a mix of other national carrier's networks. TracFone is owned by America Movil, which has operations across the Americas. The deal is expected to close in the second quarter. The purchase price and other terms were not disclosed.
Samsung SCH-R375 Headed to TracFone
Samsung recently published information about the SCH-R375c, a mono-block QWERTY phone that is intended for TracFone's network. According to Samsung, the r375 is based on a Java operating system and includes a full keyboard for messaging, a 1.3 megapixel camera, and stereo Bluetooth.

Straight Talk Android Phones to Run on Sprint's Network
Sprint has confirmed that the Android devices sold by TracFone through its Straight Talk service will run on the Sprint network, rather than the networks of AT&T, T-Mobile USA, and Verizon Wireless. TracFone already has wholesale relationships with AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon, but Sprint appears to have scored an exclusive with respect to Android-based smartphones. The first such device is the recently announced Samsung Precedent, which sells for $149.99. TracFone's Straight Talk brand is sold through Wal-Mart stores, though it is owned by America Movil.

hint for planning UD
Hope this helps, it helped me with stress about UD planning.
I get 1798 cals for UD.
So I try to plan 500 cals for each meal, and 298 for snacks treats and misc items like coffee cream etc. If I break it down, and try to balance my day that way, it really helps me.
If I further break it down I can make one meal carby (think cereal or toast for brekkie, have with protein though!) one meal to get in fruits (fruit salad for lunch with cottage cheese or yogurt) one meal for veggie (protein added to large spinach salad for dinner) plus cut up veggies for snacks with ranch dip and a simple dessert (I still keep everything sugar-free) and you're planned! This helps me balance out my day and doesn't make me feel deprived without gorging on carbs.
Thank you Nikki, that helps a lot!
Great idea!
Thank you!
Wow, I love this idea and it's SO simple, too! Just pick the number of calories you want for every meal and your snacks and then just stay in those calories!
BRILLIANT!!! :up::clap::jumpjoy:
I love this idea. Thanks so much for sharing. This is very helpful!!
you're all very welcome glad to be of service!!
I was thinking this could work either day, up or down but especially DDs for me. I get 800/900 calories for my DDs and I don't like to eat a big breakfast so since your idea I have been dividing the meals up into 100 for breakfast, 150 for lunch, 350 for dinner and the rest for my FF 1/2 & 1/2 and snacks!
It's working like a charm and some days I "borrow" from breakfast or lunch to have a "bigger" dinner! ;):up::clap:

Gender Studies
Fall Lecture Series:
Heather Olson-Beal
Mormon Feminist Activism – Are you for real?
DHSC 141 Auditorium Oct. 27 @5:30
Is it possible to be a Mormon woman, a feminist, and an activist for gender equality? Come find out!
Heather Olson Beal will provide a brief history and an overview of an exciting new activist organization in the U.S. religious landscape—Ordain Women—a group which was founded in March 2013 by a small group of Mormon women whose primary objective is to petition Mormon church leaders to ordain women to the lay priesthood in Mormonism. Heather served on the Planning Committee and then on the Executive Board of Ordain Women before recently stepping down. She will discuss some of the unique challenges the women (and male allies) of Ordain Women have faced in their first 18 months as they have begun agitating publicly—both in sacred Mormon spaces and in virtual spaces—for gender equality in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (more familiarly, the LDS or Mormon Church),
Mormon church, a highly patriarchal, conservative religious tradition. Ordain Women is committed to using thoughtful, faith-affirming, in-person strategic actions to raise attention to their cause.
Heather Olson Beal received her Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction from Louisiana State University in 2008. She is currently an associate professor of secondary education at Stephen F. Austin State University, where she teaches courses in student diversity, educational foundations, classroom management, and literacy. Her scholarship examines the issues of school choice, second language education, and the educational experiences of immigrant students. She is a Mormon, a feminist, and a Mormon feminist activist.
What is gender? What does it mean to be a man or a woman or genderqueer? Why do some people answer these questions differently? The best way to attempt to answer such complex questions is to approach the subject from a wide range of viewpoints.
Gender studies is a multidisciplinary minor that examines the role of gender in society. It considers both the biological and cultural origins of sex and gender differences and how those differences have structured a multitude of social and political institutions. The program also considers how issues of race, ethnicity, class, religion, and sexual orientation interact with gender. Incorporating the fields of anthropology, art, biology, communication, economics, English, history, foreign languages, philosophy, political science, psychology, religious studies, and sociology, the gender studies minor provides students with practical and theoretical tools for understanding gender relationships.

After a deep, extended stretch of cold weather, residents of Queens will welcome warm, sunny, seasonal days in the event they ever break out in the Northeastern United States this year.
But healthcare officials are warning those who suffer from allergies or tend to attract mosquitoes to be prepared for the effects of the protracted, difficult winter.
"The predictions, based on what I am reading, are that this could be one of the worst allergy seasons ever," said Dr. Alan Roth, chairman of family medicine and ambulatory care at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center.
Roth said that seasonal allergy patients began coming in early this month. His colleagues in the field are saying that the extended winter conditions have caused some plants to delay when they come into bloom.
"Based on the winter you have, the changeover can be gradual, releasing less pollen and fewer histamines," Roth said.
But extended winter conditions that delay flowering in some plants that normally do so early in the spring could be leading this year to more types of plants coming into bloom at one time.
"That could mean a really severe allergy season," he said.
But Roth also said that better medications for helping people deal with their allergies are becoming more available.
"Antihistamines will treat symptoms," he said. "But now there are some nasal steroids that have become available over the counter that treat the actual inflammation caused by inhaled allergens."
The damp conditions also are a bad portent for those suffering from mold allergies.
As for mosquitoes, Roth said long, severe cold stretches can and do kill off mosquito eggs.
But he also said the amount of snow and rain could establish excellent breeding grounds this spring in places where standing water is allowed to accumulate.
"When we warn people about (mosquito-borne) West Nile virus, we tell them to remove standing water," he said. "That's where they breed — puddles, buckets, planters, old tires, anywhere that water can sit after it rains."
Statistics provided by the state's Department of Health say that there have been 490 human cases of WNV and 37 deaths reported statewide since 2000.
Eastern equine encephalitis, also transmitted by mosquitoes, is very rare but serious. Between five and 10 human cases are reported in the country each year.
Five cases of EEE in people in New York State have been reported since 1971. These cases were reported in 1971, 1983, 2009, 2010 and 2011 and occurred in Oswego and Onondaga counties. All five patients died.
The risk of getting EEE is highest from late July through September. People at the greatest risk of developing a severe case of the disease are those over 50 years of age and younger than 15 years of age.
People with mild cases of EEE and WNV usually recover completely.
The New York State DOH's website says there are no human vaccines for EEE or WNV, and that prevention of mosquito bites is the most effective way to reduce risk.
The state recommends several steps for reducing mosquito exposure, including:
• Cover your skin as completely as possible if outside when mosquitoes are present and active; wear long sleeves, pants and socks;
• Use insect repellent on exposed skin and follow label directions;
• Make sure there are screens in your home's windows and doors, and make sure they are free of rips, tears and holes; and
• As Dr. Roth and his colleagues recommend, remove or drain all standing water around your home and property, thus depriving mosquitoes of a place to breed and lay their eggs.

Jonah Goldberg: Two cheers for GOP 'rebranding'
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal wants, among other things, for the GOP to stop being "the stupid party." Rep. Paul Ryan has concluded that the watchword for the Republican Party needs to be "prudence." Sen. Marco Rubio is the front man for the most tangible aspect of the rebranding effort: getting on the right side of the immigration issue. In the process, he's become something of the de facto point person for the party.
The latest entrant into this effort: House Majority leader Eric Cantor. Cantor recently gave a well-received speech at the American Enterprise Institute (where I am a fellow), titled "Making Life Work." In it, Cantor argued for utterly reasonable conservative solutions that would improve the plight of the working poor and the middle class.
It's all good stuff from a great field. Indeed, while calling them the "fantastic four" might seem hyperbolic - and unfair to a few other politicians left out of the mix - Rubio, Ryan, Jindal and Cantor are a pretty good counterargument to those who think the Republican Party is doomed. Excellent politicians all, three out of four are minorities: a Hispanic, an Indian-American, and a Jew - which sounds like they should be walking into a bar for a joke. The fourth, the Catholic Ryan, routinely wins a working-class district that votes Democratic in presidential elections.
I should note that lately I've written favorably about this rebranding stuff as well. In a nutshell, I've been arguing that the GOP's problems don't stem from a lack of principle, but from a lack of persuasiveness.
My point was not - and is not - that the GOP should abandon its commitment to core conservative principles. If you can't get the swing voters to vote for the existing level of conservatism the GOP is offering, it seems odd to argue that the GOP needs to peddle an even more strident form of conservatism (even if that purer conservatism would yield better policies). If a potential customer says, "The Chevy Impala is too pricey," a good salesman doesn't immediately respond, "OK, can I interest you in a Bentley?"
All that said, I think the push to rebrand the GOP has its own pitfalls.
For starters, "prudence" and "don't be stupid," while excellent prescriptions for how to behave, are not, in themselves, great rallying cries. If you don't believe me, try to get a crowd of the faithful to start chanting "Pru-dence! Pru-dence!" or "We're Not Stupid! We're Not Stupid!"
While this may seem obvious, the fact is that one of the GOP's worst tics is its habit of reading its stage directions out loud. For instance, Republicans often talk about how they're not going to "go negative." George H.W. Bush had such contempt for Bill Clinton's gift for wholesale empathy, he felt the need to proclaim, "Message: I care."
Obviously, Republicans should care about what is best for the country and the voters - and they should demonstrate that concern - but they will never beat liberals at the game of whose heart bleeds the most. As liberal Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne observes, Cantor's rebranding maneuvers the GOP into a contest on Democratic turf: who cares more about workers, the poor, immigrants, etc. As Dionne notes, that's why Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer immediately praised Cantor's remarks.
The reason that game is so perilous for conservatives is not that liberals necessarily care more than conservatives but that they are always willing and eager to prove their concern by cutting a check, even when all we have in the checking account is IOUs and cash on loan from China. Moreover, they are perfectly happy and eager to say that anyone who opposes more check-kiting is greedy or selfish, even if what Democrats are doing is making the problem they seek to solve worse. All too often, liberals act as if government has a monopoly on compassion.
"There is always a certain meanness in the argument of conservatism," Ralph Waldo Emerson famously said, "joined with a certain superiority in its fact." Children often think their parents are being mean when they tell their kids to do their homework. That doesn't make the parents mean, it makes them responsible. Eventually, the lessons of life persuade children their parents were right all along.
Voters aren't children, but too many of them have the childish notion that the best policies are those that pander to their immediate desires. The challenge for the GOP is to persuade them to put away childish things.

Reviewed Spaghetti With Quick Turkey Chili
Feb 12, 2013 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"This was spectacular! I have never cooked with ground turkey before or in that matter made chili! I cooked this for a few friends and was nervous it would not turn out. Happy to say the recipe was perfect and EVERYONE loved it and wanted seconds. I left out the hot sauce and added additional ketchup due to a friend not being able to eat spicy food""

A Tiered Strategy for Auditing in the Cloud (R. Xie & R. Gamble) was part of the work-in-progress presentations at IEEE CLOUD 2012. This work documented initial scoping rules for audit assets formed within the cloud. An example compilation process showed how the audit assets can be filtered and combined within and across scopes to provide specific perspectives of audit trails to detect temporal behaviors related to attack patterns. The work initiated discussion on the accumulation and use of audit asset from foreign clouds as part of a federation, tying into the SecAgreement work to establish expectations of cloud responses as part of an SLA. Work to combine these two areas has begun.
IEEE Cloud 2012:
5th International Conference on Cloud Computing
Jul 092012
Dr. Gamble presented papers at the IEEE Int'l Conference on Web Services (ICWS) , IEEE CLOUD 2012, and IEEE SERVICES 2012, all co-located in Honolulu, HI, where the new IEEE Cloud Initiative was launched. The three papers from SEAT are all part of research in making web services security-aware and building a calculus to verify their security compliance.
The conferences were a great medium for idea exchange and collaboration, and we are looking forward to the next phase of research to incorporate the feedback we received from the presentations! We'll be posting some information on each paper and conference shortly

Meteor explodes over central Russia
The trail of a falling object is seen above a residential apartment block in the Urals city of Chelyabinsk, in this still image taken from video shot on Feb. 15. (REUTERS/ Spetszakaz)
People heading to work in Chelyabinsk heard what sounded like an explosion, saw a bright light and then felt the shock wave, according to a Reuters correspondent in the industrial city 950 miles east of Moscow.
The fireball, traveling at a speed of 19 miles per second, according to Russian space agency Roscosmos, had blazed across the horizon, leaving a long white trail that could be seen as far as 125 miles away.
Car alarms went off, thousands of windows shattered and mobile phone networks were disrupted. The Interior Ministry said the meteor explosion, a very rare spectacle, also unleashed a sonic boom.
"I was driving to work, it was quite dark, but it suddenly became as bright as if it were day," said Viktor Prokofiev, 36, a resident of Yekaterinburg in the Urals Mountains. "I felt like I was blinded by headlights."
The meteor, which weighed about 10 tons and may have been made of iron, entered Earth's atmosphere and broke apart 19 to 31 miles above ground, according to Russia's Academy of Sciences.
No deaths were reported but the Emergencies Ministry said 20,000 rescue and clean-up workers were sent to the region after President Vladimir Putin told Emergencies Minister Vladimir Puchkov to ease the disruption and help the victims.
The Interior Ministry said about 1,200 people had been injured, at least 200 of them children, and most from shards of glass.
The region of Chelyabinsk has long been a hub for the Russian military and defense industry, and it is often the site where artillery shells are decommissioned.
A local Emergencies Ministry official said meteor storms were extremely rare and Friday's incident may have been connected with an asteroid the size of an Olympic swimming pool that was due to pass Earth.
But an astronomer at Russia's Academy of Sciences, Sergei Barabanov, poured doubt on that report. He said there was no evidence to support the theory that the meteor had traveled with the asteroid or had broken off from it.
The European Space Agency, on its Twitter microblog, also said its experts had confirmed there was no link.
The regional governor in Chelyabinsk said the meteorite shower had caused more than $30 million in damage, and the Emergencies Ministry said some 300 buildings had been affected.
One piece of meteorite broke through the ice of nearby Cherbakul Lake, leaving a hole several yards wide.
Despite warnings not to approach any unidentified objects, some enterprising locals were hoping to cash in.
"Selling meteorite that fell on Chelyabinsk!" one prospective seller, Vladimir, said on a popular Russian auction website. He attached a picture of a black piece of stone that on Friday afternoon was priced at $49.46.

UConn operated with a certain air of jack-assery this season, and there's really no better example than how that season ended, as UConn stole the ball from Iowa State (which was just running out the clock in the accepted manner of sportsmanship) and Jeremy Lamb botched a windmill dunk.

That having been written, proves too easy for people to slide down said slope. Hence "McDojo." From there, it is very easy to slide into "Bullshido"--want more students? Buy a BJJ DVD and call yourself a grappler and teach "seminars."
Anyways, best thing you can do is set your priorities about what you want out of training. From there, choose a place that will conceivably fulfill those needs. Being guarranteed a "black belt" in a year, in any system, is simply wrong--even for "krotty!"

Climate Matters
Research shows that meteorologists are trusted messengers on climate change. The majority understand that climate change is real and that the science of climate change needs to be communicated to the public.
Unlike climate scientists, TV meteorologists have unparalleled access to their communities. Through Climate Matters, Climate Central provides regularly produced content on the relationship between weather and climate. Our team of data analysts, meteorologists, climate experts, graphic artists and journalists create graphics, text, animations, videos and research to aid TV weathercasters in presenting science-rooted climate information in clear, concise and relevant ways.
Each week, we create high-quality information and graphics for our partner meteorologists including:
- Localized data and analyses that show the ways that the climate is changing in their markets
- TV-ready graphics and multimedia content for use across all platforms – including maps, interactive tools, severe weather trackers, temperature trend charts – that convey climate change powerfully and accessibly to general audiences
- Extreme weather analyses produced in the news cycle so that weathercasters have reliable climate data as storms are happening—and when millions of people are paying attention
Since 2012, Climate Central's program has grown to include more than a 100 local TV meteorologists who routinely reach millions of viewers. The success of Climate Matters led to a partnership with Weather Company subsidiary WSI, which distributes our analyses to the majority of the nation's TV weather forecasters.
Bernadette Woods Placky
The program is managed by Bernadette Woods Placky, an Emmy-award winning meteorologist.
Bernadette Woods-Placky on MSNBC's Lean Forward
Bernadette is often called upon to discuss and explain extreme weather events and has appeared on a number of national and local television broadcasts.
Before coming to Climate Central, Bernadette spent 10 years as a TV weather forecaster. Her most recent station was WJZ in Baltimore, where she earned an Emmy for Best Weathercaster. Prior to that, she worked at both WLEX in Lexington, Ky., and KNWA in Fayetteville, Ark. Bernadette began her career at AccuWeather, Inc.
Bernadette has a B.S. in Meteorology and a minor in French from Penn State University, where she is a steering committee member for MAPS (Meteorology Alumni of Penn State). She also carries both American Meteorological Society certifications — Television Seal of Approval and Certified Broadcast Meteorologist. She is currently a member of the AMS Committee on Applied Climatology.

Are you so comfortable at the hotel breakfast buffet that you routinely leave your bag unattended when refilling your coffee cup?
You might think twice about your habit after you hear about the rash of purse snatchings at hotels in a New Jersey business park.
Thieves have been hanging out at hotel breakfast buffets in Edison's sprawling Raritan Center business park not for the personal waffles - but for an appetizing selection of unattended purses, briefcases, computer bags or backpacks, Edison, N.J., police tell Hotel Check-In.
These thieves don't stand out. They dress to blend in with the well-dressed hotel guests, and then steal a bag when its owner is distracted by the breakfast spread.
Thieves go "where there's a lot of high-end hotels because they have business people coming in and out and most of the hotels have a big breakfast buffet," Edison Police Lt. Don Merker told me. "They're rocking in the morning, and people put their bags down and get up to go to the buffet."
One of the latest breakfast-time hotel purse snatchings occurred Friday, July 30 at 7:33 a.m. the Hilton Garden Inn hotel in the Raritan Center, when a thief stole a guest's pricey Louis Vuitton bag, the local Sentinel newspaper reported recently. The value of the bag and contents: $8,800.
The hotel purse snatchings have run in spurts, Merker says.
Thieves typically steal two or three bags from hotels within one or two days, and then stop for months.
"We have nothing to go on. It's not like they set up shop and it goes on for weeks and weeks," Merker told me. "We don't have the resources to sit at a hotel all day long waiting for this to happen. I guess they realize this."
Police do have an idea of how they work, thanks to occasional hotel video footage.
"They're pretty good," he says. "They're dressed professionally - usually two or three people in suits and ties - and you see one guy usually in street clothing. Then someone engages (a hotel guest) in conversation, or they'll just wait for them to go up (to the buffet).
"The video shows the well-dressed guy bumping into them at the counter, saying, 'Oh, excuse me'," Merker says. "Usually they hit and they're gone."
About a year ago, one hotel's video camera captured one purse snatcher walking out of the hotel and into a white van, but the van didn't have a license plate.
Police do not know if the thieves are local residents or people who are based somewhere else and travel to business hotels in other towns or states. Hotels in Woodbridge, N.J., have also experienced some purse snatchings, he said.
So what can you do about it?
Simple: Don't leave your bag, purse or briefcase unattended when visiting the breakfast buffet.
But that's easier said than done, because so many travelers naturally feel a false sense of security when in a hotel dining room with people they assume are there for the same reason.
"We are all creatures of habit," Merker says.
Stay tuned next week for more on this topic. Hotel Check-In will share the tale of one purse snatching victim who had her bag stolen in an upscale Boston hotel breakfast area and how the hotel handled the situation.
Readers: Have you ever had a bag stolen while you were at the hotel breakfast buffet? In your reply, please cite hotel name, location and timeframe, and how the hotel handled the situation. Hoteliers: Have you grappled with this problem - and perhaps found a clever solution? Tell us about it. Also, how do you compensate guests when their bag is stolen under these circumstances?

Holy Grail. Cannot live without this product. Takes ALL your makeup off and leaves your skin smooth! NO need to exfoliate with anything else. If you get those dry patches on your face where the foundaton clings to--this will help!!!! I use it night and day. If you have sensative skin be careful not to scrub too hard, or maybe just use once a day. It took me 3 full days of using the product to see full results.

These cleansing pads are awesome. Really. I am inconsistent at best about washing my face at night, but the results I've gotten from these pads have convinced me to use them regularly! I mean, why bother with anti-aging treatments if you're not going to prepare your skin to absorb it well?
Because these pads 1) remove everything including mascara 2) without irritation 3) without drying 4) wash clean away and 5) prepare skin for treatment serums, etc. Perfectly. I use a pad about once a day, either a whole one in the shower (on my face, neck, chest) or a half-pad at night. Depends on what the day has been like and whether I've worn makeup or not.
You can definitely cut them in half and save a bit of money. I actually have not seen them at most stores, but my CVS has them much of the time. I may wind up ordering them online in order to secure a steady supply.

I'm ashamed to admit I snooped in my hostess's artsy bathroom cabinet at a poetry "gathering" in her loft. It was skincare central and I was fascinated at all her lotions and potions beautifully organized, some displayed and much more within her exquisite and wildly painted wooden cabinet. She had a pyramid section of 7 of these Roc tubs. Since she has beautiful skin and wears minimal makeup I knew I had to purchase this thing myself. HOLY MOTHER OF GOD was I surprised. These are holy grail of drugstore skincare in my opinion. I have spent small fortunes on professional skincare ( but no needles or knives) you need to check this out. Others reviewers have adequately described the two sided pads. They are just wonderful. It looked as if I had just recovered from pro chemical peel without the swollen redness. It's very gentle but effective. After just one week of incorporating these disks into my cleansing routine 1 time per day at night, I bought out the remaining drugstore stash at my local midtown Duane Reade. Highly recommend.

I've used these disks for a week and am very pleased with the results. I didn't have the overnight results that others have mentioned, but my skin definitely looks and feels clearer and smoother than it did a week ago. That's immediate enough for me!
I use a whole disk in the morning, washing my face, neck, and upper arms, and half a disk at night just for my face. My skin gets very irritated with Olay Regenerist products, so I'm always cautious with similar cleansers and moisturizers, but I've experienced no dryness or irritation with these. The price is very reasonable for a month or more supply per container. The container, itself, is sturdy and the lid appears to seal very well, keeping the disks from drying out. It would be especially nice if RoC would sell bagged "refill" disks (like Cottonelle wipes or silmilar) to reduce waste.

Yes, I am going to buy these over and over. I'm 44 and my daughter is 14. At night I cut the disk in half and we stand in the bathroom and have a scrub. I'm dry skinned and getting a few wrinkles, she's oily in the t-zone and has monthly break-outs. Amazingly, these disks work for both of us. Her breakouts have minimized, areas that were congested, like her chin, have begun to clear (3 weeks). The dryness I've been experiencing on my forehead - gone! My skin looks different, and I feel like my retinol soaks in better at night. I've even had a few people my age ask me what I'm doing. I highly recommend!

This product will be a staple in my skincare routine as long as they don't change the formula, I saw a review of this on Youtube and I decided to give it a shot as I don't believe in spending a arm and a leg for facial cleansers, so got myself a jar to try from Walmart because if it didn't work for my skin then I would return it, however so far so good and I can say I really do like these little discs I cut a pad in two so I can use it twice a day if I choose to, I do prefer to use it at night to get my face super clean for bed. Its two sided like the other reviewers said the exfoliating side is not too rough for normal skin and it really does great job of taking off the makeup,dirt and grime of a long day, I haven't experienced any skin reactions to this product, so yay for my breakout prone combo skin.

I got these as a gifts with purchase & immediately bought them when I ran out. They are great for washing in the mornin. ( I prefer Olay Facial Clothes to remove make up.)
They have just enough abrasion, but not so much as to be rough on the skin.

I love roc products, but I can't use them exclusively since I still need something to prevent acne. Ugh. Anyway, these disks are kind of huge; I can do my whole face, neck and chest with one. Might need to cut them in half like others do.
These are the freaking amaze-balls super awesome perfect exfoliation product. I mean, this is the holy grail, right here. The price is right, they WORK. My skin looks better than it ever EVER has -- when I use them regularly. For me, maybe 2-3 times a week is enough. The other days I can cleanse with regular old Neutrogena Oil free acne wash or whatever I'm into at the moment. My skin is very acne prone, and this actually is helping to prevent break outs. It's also done WONDERS in improving the texture of my skin-- it looks more fine and smooth, almost like a pre-adolescent's baby face!! I went for some weeks neglecting to use this product and started wondering what the heck I wasn't doing right, because I just kept looking crappier and crappier, and then I remembered these. ONE week back on, I look fantastic again. AMAZING.

I had the opportunity to sample the Daily Resurfacing Disks (my mother had purchased them and let me use a couple to see if I liked them). They easily took off all of my makeup and didn't upset my sensitive skin, plus they're nice for a gentle exfoliation. I was expecting it to be like an Oxypad experience, and thankfully it's nothing like that. They're great to keep in the shower since they aren't pre-moistened. You just use them on your wet skin and it gets rid of impurities gently and effectively. Easily removed even my waterproof mascara and eyeliner.

I decided to buy these on a whim since they were on sale and with my regular exfoliation resume it's getting a bit pricey. WRONG IDEA. My skin is very sensitive and I had little acne bumps on my face that werent there before using the pads. Definitely wouldnt buy again, they are now being repurposed as a body exfoliator where I'm not so sensitive.
