Rosie O'Donnell has a new lease on life -- thanks to her heart attack scare. The newlywed television personality, 50, says surviving her heart attack has motivated her to kick-start her health regimen.
For the first time since it happened, O'Donnell tells People exactly what she felt like on the afternoon of Aug. 14 -- when she unknowingly experienced a heart attack. "My arms starting aching and my chest hurt. My son, Blake, said, 'Mommy you look very white.' I told him, 'I don't feel so good, honey.'"
The comedian and talk-show host didn't know what had happened to her until the following day when she visited her physician, who ordered a stent right away to restore her blood flow.
"I started crying," O'Donnell reveals in the candid interview. "I almost died -- and that's not an over-exaggeration. That's a fact."
O'Donnell, who secretly married Michelle Rounds on June 9, reveals that since her heart attack, she has thrown out all of her junk food and lost more than 12 pounds.
"For the first time, it wasn't hard for me," she says. "It took a heart attack for me to learn to take care of myself."
The Broadway-loving celebrity, who is looking forward to her upcoming annual Rosie's Theater Kids Gala in New York City on Oct. 15, says she's not going to squander her "second chance" at life.
"I've been given a second chance," O'Donnell says. "I'm getting an extra lap now. Make it worth something, kid."

The Austrian School of economics
This fringe economic theory has been gaining in popularity online, particularly among those who aren't usually interested in economics.
Unlike econ that's taught in universities, this is much easier to understand. There's no mathematical modeling, and no empirical testing (they proudly refute both) - it's just words.
It's very appealing, no calculus to learn, just read "The Road to Serfdom" or watch a "Peter Schiff was right1!!!" youtube video and you're ready to argue with your buddy who spent years getting his PHD!
Normal Science
Hypothesis does a cause b
Check data, check theory, built upon other proven things
a is correlated with b
Control for direction of causation, other variables
omg a causes b !
Austrian School
Hypothesis: A causes B
elaborate convincing argument that says A causes B, no testing of any hypotheses as our problem is "too complex" to test for, but don't worry guys we are right as our logic is sound.
So because we "proved it" A causes B
I'm not being critical - this is what they actually believe:
"Its statements and propositions are not derived from experience... They are not subject to verification or falsification on the ground of experience and facts." - Ludwig Von Mises
"[theories in the social sciences] can never be verified or falsified by reference to facts." - F.A. Hayek
Freed from pesky things like "facts" and "evidence" - this economic religion is perfect for arguing online.
Many Austrian Schoolers have no issues with modeling per se. Just modeling built to automatically produce results presupposed by it's creators (see Keynesian stimulus "model" predictions vs real world results over the last few years) A main point of their argument is that if a model doesn't make sense on an individual-by-individual level (defies rational market psychology) it can't be assumed to work on a macroeconomic scale.
Which is a main point of contention with Keynesians. They assume borrowing and spending in and of itself produces significant net benefit. But this defies rational individual experience.
But you're oversimplifying. I never said you could model things accurately based on individual experience. I'm saying that, if you're building a model to predict something, if it looks like bull**** on an individual or community level, it's not fit to be applied to 300 million people. You know you can't borrow and spend your way to prosperity. Neither can the United States.
My favorite recent example is Obama's economic team's famous "Employment Rate With and Without Recovery Plan" model that they circulated to sell Obama's Keynesian stimulus proposal. This was updated to show the actual unemployment rate vs what this famous Keynesian model predicted.
Austrian reaction "Well ****, that sure as hell didn't work. The real world result was worse than this model predicted if we didn't do anything"
Keynesian reaction "Well, obviously the real world did something wrong, or was way worse than expected because our model proved things would be way better. In fact we probably should've doubled or tripled the stimulus spending. Then it wouldda worked as advertised."
I can't believe that the human element is ignored in all these academic theories. As someone who has worked both in academia and business, scientific thoery only works when variables can be controlled.
Every academic model I've seen rolled out into the public world always deiviates from the expected outcome because people are not rational or even ethical for that matter. We cheat, constantly, maybe not every one of us but overall we do and when corporations, banks etc and the variability in corporate ethics get involved no academic model stands a chance. Human behavior trumps modeling everytime.
Mises and Rothbard certainly produced an original alternate paradigm for economics - and applied this paradigm to a number of interesting topics. Unfortunately, the foundations of their new paradigm are unfounded, and their most important applied conclusions unsound or overstated. The reasonable intellectual course for Austrian economists to take is to give up their quest for a paradigm shift and content themselves with sharing whatever valuable substantive contributions they have to offer with the rest of the economics profession - and of course, with the intellectually involved public. In sum, Milton Friedman spoke wisely when he declared that "there is no Austrian economics - only good economics, and bad economics,"[60] to which I would append: "Austrians do some good economics, but most good economics is not Austrian."
The thing about Austrian economics is it's as much as you make of it. At it's core, it says that's it's very possible, (and if you're not careful) maybe likely, intervention will make things worse.
Now some supporters take this so far as to say intervention is never good, or never works. And this is the scarecrow that interventionists always go after.
But I'd say most supporters of the Austrian School would make a more mixed argument that intervention simply needs to make sense on a micro level before it could ever be assumed to work on a large scale. At the end of the day, Austrian economics is more of a criticism of standard economic practice than an entire economic ideology unto itself (although as I pointed out above, some people can stretch it into that) This is kinda what Friedman was getting at. He's not saying it's wrong. He's just saying it's not the whole story.
Keynes famously wrote that (in a stimulus scenario) it would be beneficial to pay people to dig holes just to fill them back up again. The Austrian outlook on this would be to look at my household, and maybe 2 of my neighbors. What if we collectively paid some guy full time, each a third of our own income each, to dig holes and fill them in? It would be both catastrophic and useless to 3 of us, while benefiting only one. This is common sense. But a good Keynesian simply stretches that out. Over 10,000 people, you'd barely even notice the hit. So there a "model" is born.
First you have to decide what kind of world you want to live in, or are willing to live in. The first choice is a moral one.
"subjective human choices makes mathematical modeling of the evolving market practically impossible and therefore its scholars eschew what they consider "naïve" and pointless mathematical modeling of the economy, considering much of mainstream economics a form of economic charlatanism."
Creationists : Biology :: Austrians : Economics
Let me give you an example,
^^ Those are the most cited economists in the world. How many Austrian School economists do you see on that list? (I thought I found one, but it turned out he was an Australian Economist)
Also, why do Ron Paul fans always think everything that isn't Austrian is suddenly Keynesian? Robert Lucas would be offended if you called him either. So would many Nobel Prize winning, free-market loving conservatives.
To be fair, Austrians did contribute to modern economics, but that was a century ago - history took the good parts and moved on.
Even free-market conservatives moved on.
"I think the Austrian business-cycle theory has done the world a great deal of harm. If you go back to the 1930s, which is a key point, here you had the Austrians sitting in London, Hayek and Lionel Robbins, and saying you just have to let the bottom drop out of the world. Youve just got to let it cure itself. You cant do anything about it. You will only make it worse. You have Rothbard saying it was a great mistake not to let the whole banking system collapse. I think by encouraging that kind of do-nothing policy both in Britain and in the United States, they did harm." - Milton Friedman
Fringe. Theory. Popular with Glenn Beck (he loves Hayek) popular on youtube, unmentioned everywhere else.
You said a lot there while saying very little.
Blah blah, Creationism, blah blah, Ron Paul, blah blah Consensus.
Why do you spend so much time trying to marginalize ideas and so little time engaging them?
And as far as Austrian contributions primarily being a century ago... So what? The current economic stimulus regime de jour is based on the theories of a guy that died 70 years ago. Hayek won his Nobel 30 years later. The timing is irrelevant.
2) Why engage? A creationist will flick away all data and evidence, and instead point to the bible and say, "See, I told you so!" An Austrian will flick away statistical models and historical evidence, and point to Praxeology and say, "See, I told you so!"
You've seen my fixation on graphs. I can post evidence of horrible recessions, I can post evidence of stabilizing markets, I can show you a modern country whose economy is practically Austrian School, but why bother?
Once again,
"[Praxeology's tenants]... are not subject to verification or falsification on the ground of experience and facts." - Ludwig Von Mises
Austrian School definitions
Hayek explained it very well in his Nobel Speech.
I'd be all for more spending like Obama wants on infrastructure. What you do is cut off some money you just give away to people to not work and instead spend that money of infrastructure and defense like feds should be doing. Problem is Obama wants to spend money everywhere like a drunken sailor.
not to be missed
must-watch 10 minute video: Financial Crime
This thread is in danger of disappearing down a rabbit hole. Most of you are missing the point -- about the Austrian school.
It boils down to raiding the public sector to expand the profits of a small plutocracy.
This short vid will put it all in perspective:
Being an Austrian Economist in 1890 was mainstream. Being an Austrian Economist in 2013 is fringe.
It's like if there were an entire school of economists who followed Keynesian economics as it was circa 1940~ and refused to update their methodologies or theories, in the face of overwhelming empirical evidence. They would be called cranks, and rightly so.
Ironically, the Austrian School is comparable to Marxism in this regard.
Why are you even arguing this? Austrian economists themselves frequently say they're "outside the mainstream"
They speak at lectures on "heterodox economics"
They are happy being fringe. Why can't you be happy for them?
If you admire the Austrian School, good for you. If you hate Keynes, way to go. Study New Classical macroeconomics. You don't have to faithfully believe in a dead science.
Milton Friedman on Mises, which shows you the amount of intellectual openness allowed in the Austrian School:
Reason: But you knew Mises personally. Did you see the intolerance that you find in his method also in his personal behavior?
Friedman: No question. The story I remember best happened at the initial Mont Pelerin meeting when he got up and said, "You're all a bunch of socialists." We were discussing the distribution of income, and whether you should have progressive income taxes. Some of the people there were expressing the view that there could be a justification for it.
Another occasion which is equally telling: Fritz Machlup was a student of Mises's, one of his most faithful disciples. At one of the Mont Pelerin meetings, Fritz gave a talk in which I think he questioned the idea of a gold standard; he came out in favor of floating exchange rates. Mises was so mad he wouldn't speak to him for three years. Some people had to come around and bring them together again. It's hard to understand; you can get some understanding of it by taking into account how people like Mises were persecuted in their lives.
Found this during a bit of research - Austrians toyed with, if not outright accepted evidence and facts until the 1940's. My sincere apologies to any Austrian Economists who worked prior to this. I'm sure you're reading.
In the 40's, something happened that troubled cranky old Von Mises - we did. The damn US OF A! We had the New Deal, our Tennessee Valley Authority, Works Projects Administration, Rural Electrification, and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation which proved that a well-run government could be a big help for an economy - we went from a second-rate backwater into the most powerful economy that the world has ever seen.
The Austrian's answer? Do away with evidence. In 1949, the Austrian School already on the fringes, Mises wrote "Human Action" where he laid out his idea of "Praxeology" which saved their ideas from statistical evidence, math, and reality, ensuring the school's cult status for decades to come.
Here it is, written as densely as possible so people can't smell the BS:
Rand Paul 2016! 2+2 = Potato
Isn't this the main problem we have in America today? One group is trying to govern based on reality and another is trying to govern based on ideology.
What most of them would say though is that a principle that DOESN'T work on the micro level CAN'T work on the macro.
At this point it's not even really an economic school so much as common sense shaking it's head at modern economic insanity.
People like the idea of no (or maybe more) parties. But at the end of the day, it's just the nature of the beast. There may be times of disruption when it seems like more than 2 groups exist. But given time, it will all settle back into two fundamental groups of people striving for control.
Obama, unfortunately, is probably going down as worse than Bush. Why? Because he has written in stone the idea of "Too big to fail" and even worse, "Too big to prosecute." Couple that with Citizens United, and you can pretty much flush the whole show. Wealth inequality is now worse than probably any time in human history. These sorts of numbers lead to the collapse of societies. Quibbling over deficit spending is like arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

With more than 25 years experience in journalism, I've written and edited newspapers in California, North Carolina and Virginia. In California, I worked for a weekly paper in the San Francisco Bay Area, where I'm from originally.
In North Carolina, I worked two years (1990-92) at the Sun Journal, a daily paper in New Bern. There, I covered county government, commercial fishing – which is a big industry there – and the Gulf War.
New Bern is near the Marine Corps Air Station in Havelock, so I did lots of stories on the effects the war had on the wives and children left behind while the husbands and dads were fighting in Iraq. As one elementary-school teacher told me, "If one child's father or mother is killed, the security for the rest of the students is shattered."
In addition, my photographer and I were lowered by helicopter onto the USS Iwo Jima as it returned to port in Morehead City after deployment. I got to interview the sailors and Marines aboard ship and experience, firsthand, their welcome back by local residents who greeted them in the water in hundreds of small boats to escort them home.
I also interviewed parents of Marines killed in the war, as well as a Marine pilot whose aircraft had been shot down overseas. He spoke about what went through his mind while parachuting into the desert and what happened to him while he was a POW. Luckily, it was toward the end of the war and he was eventually freed to return home.
I also worked three years for the Prince William Journal, covering the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park, as well as a slew of criminal cases. And I've been with Centre View for almost 19 years, covering Centreville, Chantilly, Clifton, Fair Oaks and Fair Lakes. For the past few years, I've also covered Fairfax and some of Lorton and Fairfax Station for the Connection.

Do you think a man could have led the MAKERS project?
Hah! It goes back to this idea that we dont want the world to be run by just one kind of person, although some days I do want the world to be run by all women. Diversity makes the difference. When we produced the first documentary, I brought on a male producer. Were bringing to the conference Bob Moritz, Chairman of Pricewaterhouse Coopers, who went through a divorce and had to take on childcare, and that completely changed the way he thought about his company.
Everyone knows men and women come into higher education in nearly equal numbers now, but the Harvard MBA program noticed that womens grades werent as good as their male colleagues, that they seemed to be suffering. The students, male and female, created a Manbassador program, where men had to give a pledge that they were committed to equality. One of the Manbassadors and one of the female students is coming with Harvards Robin Ely to talk about it, because we need Manbassadors everywhere. We need those father-daughter relationships, because men often help women advance when they have daughters to push them.
What will make the conference a success to you?
We want to create ambassadors for change, to send them back with concrete things to do to make a difference. If we can bring men into the dialogue, I will feel like thats a home run.
What agenda items are top on your list?
There are two bucketswe want to share our MAKERS' wisdom with the world. One type of content will be specific to the workplace: eldercare, flextime, getting women on boards, all these pertinent topics. Then theres the larger picture of women in the world, and what we need to do on issues of STEM and women in the media. I hope were going to give that big picture, and then, when we get down to brass tacks, its about policy change. Its both how you can personally lean in, and then what organizational policies need to change.

Some people refer to tattoos that can't be covered up (hands, neck, head and face) as "job stoppers" since they might prevent a person from getting hired. We look at things a little differently here at Inkedmag.com; we'd like to think that any job that wouldn't be open minded towards hiring one of these well-inked individuals isn't a job worth having. We love the dedication to art that these people have and admire their work. You can do the same as you browse this gallery of "job stopper" tattoos.

We love this amazing bird tattoo.

California Highways
Recent Changes
When I was in college, I used to use the Labor Day weekend to do big programming projects. This year... its updating the highway pages. Life gets busy as you get older, especially when you have other hobbies (such as theatre and theatre reviews) getting in the way.
Updates were made to the following highways, based on my reading of the papers (which are posted to the roadgeeking category at the "Observations Along The Road" and to the California Highways Facebook group) as well as any backed up email changes. I didn't review the the AAroads forum this time — it hasn't been bringing much useful information, and a third of the year would be a lot of posts to review. I've given up on misc.transport.road. This resulted in changes on the following routes, with credit as indicated [my research(1), contributions of information or leads (via direct mail) from Mike Sinclair(2)]: I-5(1), I-10(1), Route 12(1), Route 60(1), I-80(1), US 101(1), Route I-680(1,2), I-710(1).
Reviewed the Pending Legislation page, based on the new California Legislature site. As usual, I recommend to every Californian that they visit the legislative website regularly and see what their legis-critters are doing. Noted passage of the following items:
This bill would authorize the program to require a high-occupancy
vehicle to have an electronic transponder or other electronic device for
law enforcement purposes.
07/08/14 Chaptered by Secretary of State - Chapter 94, Statutes of 2014.
I checked the CTC Liaison page for the results of the CTC meetings from June and August 2014. The following items were of interest (note: ° indicates items that were below the level of detail for updating the specific route pages) :
(Jun) (1)The Department proposes to program $2,636,000 of Federal SAFETEA-LU Border Infrastructure Program (BIP) funds for the construction phase on the Route 905/Route 125 Northbound Connectors project (PPNO 1101) in San Diego County. [Approved.]

[Approved, as modified.]

Most of these projects were repair, rehabilitation, or seismic reconstruction (which, in general, do not affect the specific route pages). The projects included $1.9M for seismic retrofit near Oroville on Route 70, $1.6M for retaining walls on I-580 near Castro Valley, $4.2M for wall reconstruction on Route 24 near Lafayette, $19.2M for roadway rehabilitation on I-680 from I-780 to I-80, $1.6M for seismic retrofit on I-280 in San Bruno, $5M for pavement improvements on US 101 near Greenfield, $1.8M for damage repair on Route 9 near Boulder Creek, $2.4M for bridge replacement on Route 74 near Hurkey Creek Bridge, $624K for pedestrian curb ramps on Route 4, I-5, and Route 26 in San Joaquin County, $11.3M for pavement rehabilitation on Route 7 near Calexico, $16.4M for pavement rehabilitation on Route 67 near El Cajon and Santee.

39 SHOPP projects.; $239.063,000
for 39 projects amended into
the SHOPP by Departmental action. As in June, these were all projects that did
not change routing and were mostly repair, rehabilitation, minor improvements,
or widening. [Approved.]
(Jun) (1a) Financial Allocation: $137,487,000 for the State administered STIP Hinkley Widening 4-Lane project (PPNO 0217F) on Route 58, in San Bernardino County, on the State Highway System [Approved.]

The main projects of interest were $33.310M for the Jefferson Street Interchange on I-10 in Indio, and $528K for an auxiliary lane on I-405 from University to Route 133. [Approved, as modified.]
It's been far too long since the last update. There's really no excuse, other than the lack of time and lack of urgency. Weekends have been filled with other interests and chores, making it difficult to find a day or two to sit down in front of a screen all day to do the updates. These updates were started while on vacation -- what else should I do while I sit in the hotel room while the wife sleeps in the morning? In some ways, it's a throwback to college days, where I would always do programming projects while sitting in the hotel room at the beach in Maui. But then work interfered... and so I'm finishing them over Memorial Day weekend. So let's get to it.
I started the year with the usual change page changover. I've gone back to having each year's change page having just a link to the current year and all past years. This is much easier than editing each year at the start of a new year to update the change list.
Updates were made to the following highways, based on my reading of the papers (which are posted to the roadgeeking category at the "Observations Along The Road" and to the California Highways Facebook group) as well as any backed up email changes. I didn't review the the AAroads forum this time — it hasn't been bringing much useful information, and a third of the year would be a lot of posts to review. I've given up on misc.transport.road. This resulted in changes on the following routes, with credit as indicated [my research(1), contributions of information or leads (via direct mail) from Frank Romano(2), Tom Jones(3)]: Route 1(1), I-5(1), Route 12(1), Route 29(1), Route 39(2), Route G10(3).
Reviewed the Pending Legislation page, based on the new California Legislature site. As usual, I recommend to every Californian that they visit the legislative website regularly and see what their legis-critters are doing. Noted passage of the following items:

I know the OP is deadnut set on a 308 but for the ranges he is going to be shooting mostly the .300 Blk fits perfectly! But hey if he want to go spend that kind of cash and lug a 10lb rifle around go ahead! Ammo is about the same price range for both if you don't reload.

|Perhaps this is a bit premature, since the Haitians have so many other needs (food, shelter, clothing, meds) at this time, but does anybody know if there is an organization that might accept extra veggie seeds that the people of Haiti could use later on to grow for food? In 1998, The Embassy of Ecuador accepted vegetable seed after that country was hit by Hurricane Mitch. I remember receiving an official thank-you letter from the Ambassador's staff.
A Google search found an organization called Seeds for Haiti, but they are looking for monetary donations (which I suppose is most important anyway this point).
Any ideas?
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by littleonefb z5MA (My Page) on Wed, Jan 20, 10 at 15:06
|The idea is a wonderful one, but right now the time is not appropriate to be sending seeds down there.
Right now, the only interest is in the basic necessities of life, still attempting to find survivors and then a clean up the disaster of debris that is all over the place.
One thought I had though is this.
We can all set aside seeds that would be appropriate in the climate of Haiti and when the time is right, and he need for the seeds is known, we can then send seeds to whatever organization is looking for them.
The financial need is what should be the concern now.
I would think that veggie seeds would be a welcome type of seed, but not sure about what type of flowers would be the best.
I will see if I can find out what type of seeds grow best in Haiti and if I find any info will post a list of seeds that we can save.
- Posted by littleonefb z5MA (My Page) on Wed, Jan 20, 10 at 15:41
|Most of what I found was, as expected, requests for donations for disaster relief but did find the following in veggies that are/can grow in various parts of Haiti.
That's a list to start with in saving seeds for future to send, but I'm not sure that seeds will actually be accepted from us or just money to purchase seeds to distribute to the people to grow.
I would expect it will be quite some time, though, before anyone thinks about starting seeds to grow for food.
|Heifer.org has a number of projects going on in Haiti which have been disrupted due to the current crisis. They include such things as erosion control, planting bamboo, community garden tool lending programs, and of course their animal projects.
Perhaps a monetary donation to Heifer would be a good way to help the people of Haiti rebuild their gardens. Saving your own garden seeds, planning your seed purchases for next year, and then trading on the seed exchange instead of purchasing seed would be a good way to fund a contribution to Heifer.
Here is a link that might be useful: Heifer in Haiti

|I was thinking the same thing Cecilia...while right now the main concern is getting food, water, and medical supplies to keep those who have survived alive...the next step will be sustaining life for the long term. I think saving seeds is a great idea, and the time will come quickly when Haiti will be putting such ideas into action.
It's horrendous what has happened there, and every day I see on the news the devastation, and it makes my problems seem so mundane. I just want to hold those people and I wish I could give even one of them comfort. I cannot even imagine tragedy on such a widespread scale...it's hard to believe. While it is terrible, if nothing else comes from this, maybe it will bring some attention to the poverty that already exists there, and Haiti can come back stronger than it's ever been.
Great thread Cecilia, I hope that something comes from it! :)

|There was someone that posted on the seed exchange named Brenda Cooper that makes regular trips to Haiti with her husband Michael. She requested seeds for Haiti under the user name Haitihelper (about a year ago I think) but her post was removed I assume because she didn't offer anything in exchange. I did a google search of her name because I wondered if she might have been in Haiti during the earthquake. Apparently she wasn't because I came across a news article telling about a planned trip in a couple weeks to help with medical needs.
She doesn't have an email link on her member page but she has posted her address on the web.
Michael & Brenda Cooper
I also found this address but the newsletter it was on was from 2005 so maybe they moved ??
Michael & Brenda Cooper
I hope she posts here again when they are ready to work on their garden project again in Haiti. What a great way to help the people there become more independent.
If we could find out for sure that the Brenda that posted here is the same one in the article, I think it would be nice to send them some seeds when they're ready. Has anyone been in contact with her?

|Thank you very much Christie, we'll try to get in touch with Brenda and Michael Cooper, see what they need the most, besides the money...as from the start desperately needed was the medical help, too many suffer-ed too long waiting for help. Recovery will take a long time, hope they are able to get on their feet and start recovery process, seems it will be a while, then they can grow their own food too, good idea helping them with seeds.
Wouldn't it be great if the world would unite more to fight poverty and sufferings before nightmares like these happen, but it's good to see many helping, even more when seeing so many others in the world do, noone like good old USA.
Giving prayers and thanks for all helping, never know who may be needing it one day...hope not but with the world's changes one never knows.
|I've found the link for the Cooper's organization for those who are interested in contacting them. It's below.
Heifer still seems to me to have the greater ability to help more people through a broader set of existing garden and agriculture based existing programs in Haiti. But the Coopers look like they have an organization well suited for moving seeds directly from your gardens to the hands of Haitians.
So good to know that both of these organizations working hard to help the people of Haiti.

|Good thread and some good info here.

Graanieb, I'll be watching for an update about whether or not you get in contact with them. It's hard telling where they might be at a time like this.
I see they last updated their site at the link above on 4-25-2009.
|Always helping , thank you Sue!
My almost 11 year old grandson decided on his own to empty his coin collection and we'll see what else he may part with, he'll gladly do it, one kid with heart of gold.
Good to see angels of mercy helping there like Anderson Cooper ( does cross your mind if a relative, doesn't it?) and tonight stars will be raising money, will be watching, just now seeing Simon Cowel will be helping too.
| Watched the news earlier, rescue efforts have stopped after 11 days, giving up hope of finding anyone alive, must be devastating for loved ones, would be something if there are still some alive, but got to concentrate on the living and my god almost 200000 wounded, prayers, depressing to watch it let alone be there.
Hope there are still plenty on the island unaffected by the disaster who are able to garden, among other things, I'd still try if there is a way to send them seeds for edibles, after all, plus would be therapy.

|Where are you all? Plenty to talk about but need to get together with daughters and send something out soon.
Heard the news --a 24 yr old man was found alive in the rubble after 11 days! He said there are others trapped there too. What I was telling my daughter after hearing rescue was suspended..it's too early, never lose hope.
Many are heading out of the city, right thing to do, find shelter in ground level homes and for a while in tents, at least weather isnt sky high hot with as high humidity nor freezing, but tall city buildings should be abandoned in the city ( any city) where earthquake with such magnitude happen.
Yes, sending them seeds for edibles with prayers.

boost house as a residency: the boost house team lives together in a house (also called boost house) in brunswick, maine. it's a drug-free, alcohol-free space. the house rent and groceries (all vegan) are supported by our income as a publisher. as we grow, we'll accept more short-term and long-term residents with shared values and ambition to come work in the house. future versions of the house will host a free lending library and frequent poetry readings, as well as potlucks and other meetups for the local public. we broadcast from the house frequently so people worldwide can engage and take inspiration from our communal living project.
boost house's core team is emily elizabeth scott, rachel younghans, steve roggenbuck, and charlie the dog emeritus. emily is a poet, editor, and activist from michigan. she works on boost house's financial planning, book editing, and the feminist lit mag radical notion. rachel is an airbrush artist and mapmaker from maryland. she works on boost house's book layout, shipping, and website. steve is a poet and video blogger from michigan. steve works on boost house's internet free skool, book editing, and tour booking. charlie is an awe-inspiring dog from michigan. she provides morale boosts and oversight for the whole house. see more about our team members on this page!

Installing SSD into Dell XPS 17 L502x but stripped screw
Hi there.
I have a problem. Currently I am using a 7200 rpm hard drive and I recently bought a SSD. I want to install windows into the SSD but before I do that I read that I have to remove the original HDD during installation. However, there is a stripped screw stopping me from removing the HDD. What are some options for me?
|My System Specs
|22 Mar 2012
Have you tried using a needle-nosed pliers with extreme patience, steady hand and dynamic tension?
|My System Specs
|22 Mar 2012
nope. My friend suggested that I install windows into the ssd from a desktop and then hook it back up to my laptop.
|My System Specs
|22 Mar 2012
If you have a second HD port on that laptop then go ahead and install SSD. If you have an OS already on the HD it will configure a Dual Boot - which we can later help you remove.
If you don't want that then enter BIOS setup to disable the HD temporarily while you install to the SSD. After install re-enable the HD to access it's data, wipe it when you don't want the OS any longer after backing up data, or to boot HD use the one-time BIOS Boot Menu key to trigger the HD.
A third option if you can't do either of the above before installing to SSD is to offload your data externally then wipe the HD first with Diskpart Clean Command from Win7 DVD accessing DISKPART At PC Startup.

AP Film Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- A new Wes Anderson film arrives like a magician's latest illusion, greeted by questions of not just "How does he do it?" but "What is it, exactly?"
Anderson, like few other directors, has perpetually kept critics and moviegoers off-balance with his idiosyncratic blend of orchestrated whimsy, deep-rooted melancholy and deadpan slapstick. When he privately screened his second film, "Rushmore," for Pauline Kael, the rarely uncertain critic responded, "I don't know what you've got here, Wes." Lacking a more sufficient barometer, his movies are typically first judged on a scale of how "Wes Anderson-y" it is.
On that count, his latest registers about a 10. "The Grand Budapest Hotel," which opened Friday, is ultimately about a fastidious concierge named M. Gustave (Ralph Fiennes) and the lobby boy, Zero (newcomer Tony Revolori), he takes on as a protege at an ornate alpine resort in the fictional Republic of Zubrowka. After a multilayered framing device guided across eras by characters played by Jude Law, Tom Wilkinson and F. Murray Abraham, the film presents a portrait of the Grand Budapest Hotel in the 1930s, just as the rise of fascism (the SS here is the ZZ) is bringing an end to a refined way of life.
Gustave, who efficiently runs the hotel with old-world elegance but an unapologetic unscrupulousness (he has a habit of bedding old widows), is twice called in the film "a glimmer of civilization in the barbaric slaughterhouse we know as humanity."
It's a caper, with a stolen painting, a murderous stalking scene (taken straight out of Hitchcock's "Torn Curtain"), an elaborate prison break and a gun fight. There are the old-fashioned hotel accoutrements of an elevator seat, a bathhouse, comically small servants' quarters and a funicular. It's an early 20th century playhouse for Anderson -- a dream of a genteel Europe that never quite existed, imagined by someone steeped in movies (Ernst Lubitsch and '30s Hitchcock, in particular) and the stories of early 1900s Viennese author Stefan Zweig (a major inspiration on the film).
Anderson's eighth film also may be for the 44-year-old director the definitive statement about his kind of movie reality. With miniatures (like the exterior of the hotel) mixed in and a ski chase scene filmed with figurines, its plainly artificial environs are crowded with realistically emotional characters.
"When I see a James Bond movie, I see a great deal of artificiality," Anderson said in a recent interview. "It's a style of special effects that's just very familiar to us right now and we accept as a version of reality.
"There's no layer of artiness about it," he says. "Not that I'm deeply opposed to it, but just for my own work, I'm not particularly drawn to that way of working. I like to see if we can experiment with old-fashioned techniques that I've always really liked. I love miniatures and different kinds of animations -- things that are like magic tricks. I'm drawn to those. I feel like they have a certain charm. And I just sort of make an assumption that we all know that this is a kind of a concoction."
Anderson doesn't just delight in antiquated film techniques. His films -- his concoctions -- are in many ways odes to analog worlds: the record player of "Moonrise Kingdom," the book jackets of "The Royal Tenenbaums," the portraits of "Rushmore."
Many of his protagonists are quixotic champions of bygone worlds, dauntlessly trying to keep something old and beautiful alive, or at least some romantic idea of it. As Max pleads in "Rushmore," ''I saved Latin!"
In "The Grand Budapest Hotel," a narrator says of Gustav: "His world had vanished long before he ever entered it, but he certainly sustained the illusion with a remarkable grace."
The same, of course, could be said of Anderson, who has a serene but down-to-earth way about him, more self-deprecating than precious.
The film depicts the slow decline of a once great hotel across the years, which he notes "feels a bit like tragedy." But the Texas-native, who currently lives in New York but spent recent years in Europe, says he's not pining away at life in some prior era.
"My experience as a foreigner in Europe has always been much more being dazzled by: There's an old world that is still there," he says.
Zweig, however, killed himself in 1942, leaving a note that lamented the self-destruction of "my spiritual home, Europe." ''We haven't been through these kind of things," says Anderson. "We would have to fake that level of cynicism."

Charlie's Choice: His Face or his MacBook Air
From a TVNewser reader: "Charlie Rose has a black eye and a bandage above his left eye on his show tonight (Monday). Any word on how he was injured?"
Rose had a choice to make when he tripped on a 59th street pothole in New York City: protect his newly purchased MacBook Air, or his face — he chose the former. According to his producers, "The Macbook Air is fine, he showed us the blood stains on it this morning."
That's fierce…

Been a while since we saw this thread.
Well Lauren has been quite the travelling machine so far....it seems she has played every week, and with 31 tournaments to her name that's not a stretch
Lauren had a good fighting win at the $50K Fukuoka event today beating German Adriana Barna 7-5 4-6 6-3....she led 4-2 in the second, and almost blew it (Lauren seems to get tight in situations like this!) but glad she pulled through. She's got Sam Stosur next, and I don't think she will beat Sam but she is in with a shot...
Her ranking should rise from 276 to the mid 260's next week....the annoying thing is Barna dropped to 251 this week, so 1 quality point less

Gun Rights Advocates React to Obama's Call for Assault Weapon Ban
The federal push for stricter gun control comes in the wake of recent high-profile shootings, specifically the school shooting in Connecticut, in which 20 children died.
Gun rights advocates are speaking out against the proposals, calling the measures an extreme attack on the weapon, not the issues.
Travis Schutte just bought an AR-15 last month.
"I'm glad I bought it because you can't buy them anymore," He said. "All the shops around Springfield and online are sold out."
High-powered semi-automatics are flying off shelves, even though they've doubled in price in the past month.
Now, President Obama is urging Congress to make them illegal to sell. He wants Congress to reinstate an assault weapons ban that expired in 2004 and make the ban stronger.
"Responsible gun owners, if Americans of every background stand up and say, 'enough, we've suffered too much pain and care too much about our children to allow this to continue,' then change will come," Obama said at a press conference Wednesday.
If Congress approves the ban, it would be illegal for stores like Capital City Arms Supply in Springfield to sell military-style rifles and ammunition magazines that carry more than 10 rounds.
"From a business standpoint, it would hurt quite a bit," co-owner John Jackson said. "What they're proposing to ban, the criteria they're using, covers probably 75 percent of stuff out there today."
The White House calls the rifles "instruments of mass violence," but many gun rights advocates believe high-profile shootings, like the one in Connecticut last month, could happen regardless of stricter gun control.
"If they're not going to do it with a gun, they will with something else--a knife, a car," Schutte said.
In a statement, the National Rifle Association quickly challenged Obama's proposals. It said, "Attacking firearms and ignoring children is not a solution to the crisis we face as a nation."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Murphy Oil Announces Preliminary Second Quarter Earnings
Worldwide production averaged 188,575 barrels of oil equivalent per day in the second quarter 2012, compared to 170,457 barrels of oil equivalent per day in the same quarter in 2011. Total crude oil and gas liquids production was 104,012 barrels per day in the second quarter of 2012 compared to 94,242 barrels per day in the 2011 quarter. The increase in oil production in 2012 was primarily attributable to higher gross production at the Kikeh field, offshore Sabah, as wells have been brought on stream in association with the ongoing field development and well work program. In addition, 2012 crude oil production in the United States was higher than 2011 levels primarily due to an ongoing development program in the Eagle Ford Shale area. Increases in Eagle Ford production more than offset lower volumes produced at fields in the Gulf of Mexico. Oil production at Syncrude in Western Canada was adversely affected in the 2012 quarter by equipment maintenance. Crude oil production at Terra Nova, offshore Eastern Canada, was also lower in the 2012 quarter primarily due to the start of a 150 day shut-in for equipment maintenance in June 2012. The Azurite field, offshore Republic of the Congo, had lower crude oil production in 2012 due to well decline and one well being offline during the quarter pending a mechanical workover. Crude oil and gas liquids sales volumes averaged 104,768 barrels per day in the second quarter of 2012 compared to 90,004 barrels per day in the 2011 quarter. Natural gas sales volumes averaged 507 million cubic feet per day in the second quarter of 2012 compared to 457 million cubic feet per day in the 2011 quarter. The increase in natural gas sales volumes in 2012 was attributable to higher gas production at the Tupper West area in British Columbia, Canada. The Company's worldwide crude oil and condensate sales prices averaged $94.33 per barrel for the second quarter of 2012 compared to $99.37 per barrel in the second quarter 2011. North American natural gas sales prices averaged $2.15 per thousand cubic feet (MCF) in the 2012 quarter compared to $4.26 per MCF in the same quarter of 2011. Natural gas produced offshore Sarawak, Malaysia was sold at an average price of $7.88 per MCF during the second quarter 2012 compared to an average price of $6.40 per MCF in the second quarter 2011.

We broke up in downtown Nashville with drunken, blow up penis waving bachelorette parties walking by. For some reason I can see this ending up as a country music video.
. Drop what your doing. Were going to Knoxville for midget wrestling. It's the championship.we can NOT miss this.
I've been wearing the same clothes for 3 days and they're covered in franzia
and then I drunkenly screamed, "you can ride that Uber all the way to revenge city!"
which was funny until I realized I paid for my enemy's cab to go fuck my ex
The claw marks on my back are healing nicely. Just thought you should know.
I just found out the guy that lied and blew me off got arrested, his mugshot is online. Life is good.
Girl, that was the lost night of 2012 for me and I have buried that night deep deep away..
I just don't know the best way to tell him I think I saw him in a porn. I mean I got off to it, isn't there some level of awkwardness there?
How do you tell an ex that banging less hot chicks than me is highly insulting? I almost want to try and get him laid with a pretty girl just to save some face for dating him so long.
Just found out that his ringtone for me is a train blowing bc and I quote 'I know when you call I'm getting laid'
