it does get kind of repetitive......but i still love it anyway. I was so excited when they came out with the new episodes bc initially they wernt going to. so i read 500+ manga chapters to see the ending. if you like soujo/romance anime/manga Ive watched and read too many to count and can recommend some great ones if you're interested.

np. I have one too but I can never stick to it. and not into manga? You dont know what youre missing. I actually watched anime for years before I stared reading. now I dont know how I did it. basically every anime comes from a manga, so if you love the anime you will love the manga of it 3x more. also anime usually stops way before the story is over. lol I think Im sounding a bit like a salesman for manga.

wow. that must really suck. dial up......I almost feel like that shouldnt be aloud to exist anymore. I dont think Ive ever spoken to someone from Alaska b4. I feel like thats gotta be awesome. I live in NY, nothing really unique about that. :) and np about the friend request. I honestly cant remember talking to any of the people on my friends list after I added them. mostly they thought I was funny or vice versa. I dont even think about it anymore. well, good luck with your watching. I keep thinking you must really love anime to wait that long to watch a half hour vid. Im so impatient I wonder if I would be that dedicated.....
#43 to #45
mrsInuyasha (05/20/2011) [-]
lol gotta train em young especially if theres no one around to share with! I mostly go crazy with my cuz about it. you know when you get to a part and just cant stop ginnin like a fool and have to tell some one about the awesomeness that just happened. :) hunting......did you bag anything?

mrsInuyasha (05/23/2011) [-]
I feel you. I tried showing my co-worker anime last night. It was ghost in the shell. she just looked at me like...wtf are you making me watch? lol. ok. so depending what you like with your ecchi you might like one or some of these. Kampfer, I's Pure(i read this manga didnt watch the anime but I dont see how it couldnt be good), Ichigo 100%, Kissxsis,, Princess lover, Elfen Lied, Fairy tail(incomplete), zero no tsukaima. I dont remember how many ecchi anime Ive watched bc its not something I search for by itself. If I remember any more that had an ecchi tag Ill add the titles here. Hope you havent already seen all of these. Thats usually my problem when someone recommends to me.

mrsInuyasha (05/26/2011) [-]
$50........for a gram.......holy mother balls. That is crazy!!!!!!!! I dont smoke much now but my high school years wouldve been ruined if I had to pay that much! The absolute most I have ever paid was $20 and thats only for amazing **** deff not regs. otherwise a gram is 5 bucks. When you first told me where you lived my first reaction was that must be awesome! but although Im sure there are really cool parts to living there :) it seems like such an inconvenience. I feel like you all that live there must be the bravest souls on the planet!!! LMAO!

Things I did this morning:
*Burned my fingers getting a bagel out of the toaster
*Drank black coffee and bounced off the walls on caffeine
*Went through five possible nail polish colors before deciding not to paint my nails at all
*Straightened my hair (which I have only done twice since a fateful November 1st, I might add)
I was jittery. Really jittery. You know how it is when you are about to meet up with a friend or family member who you haven't seen in a while and suddenly you're not sure if maybe you've grown apart? Yeah, you've talked on the phone and emailed back and forth… but what if they just don't like you and you don't like them? Especially if you've parted on odd terms. That's how I was with the Giants this morning. My beautiful beat writers and Twitter buddies have kept me updated and in the loop, but I was still irrationally jittery this morning. Hence all the odd behaviors explained above. And then, how it always is, the game came on and after one awkward second it was like no time at all had passed. We hugged and chatted and braided each other's hair and my burnt fingers stopped hurting. My Giants and I have a great relationship, like that.
Jon Miller and Dave Flemming made me smile for three hours straight with their long-sleeved Aloha shirts and "the main thing about Spring Training is figuring out who the hell that is" and despite Timmy's, ahem, rough start the team looks pretty darn good to me. And they won, which would kind of rock except for the fact that we appear to be in for Torture 2.0.
I would just like to add that the Moonlight Sonata is in a new KNBR ad about the Giants. The Moonlight Sonata. I love it, but it's sort of my depressed-teen-girl piece. Not something I'd want in a triumphant baseball team ad. That is all.

p.s. Breaking news: the Phillies are officially and undeniably the best team in the history of Major League Baseball! They beat up on the Florida State University Seminoles, 8-0. Official and undeniable.

cotopaxi tweed jacket
by SESSUN
French label Sessùn launched in 1995 after designer Emma Francios took a college trip to South America. Deeply impressed by the culture and artisan weavers and embroiders she met there, she decided to leave her masters in economic anthropology and pursue design. Sessùn began as a small collection of accessories drawing inspiration from the South American mountains, using natural materials, and quickly developed into a full range of clothing, shoes and accessories. The collections tell a story by mixing textures, prints, and details teaming with an artful ease and a range luxe of fabrics.

About Christopher's Garage
About me and my passion for cars
In my teen years my father, my brothers, and I rebuilt an old Bronco for my oldest brother to have when he recieved his license. In my high school years most of my close friends had fast cars, most of which were Mustangs. So in my high school years I spent many weekends at the races. I have always been a truck and SUV fan. I would like a nice car to take out from time to time but not as a daily driver.
My first car
1996 GMC Sierra, as basic as you could get.
Car I wish I still had
I enjoyed my 2000 F-150 Lariat, next in line to my Tahoe
My dream car
Dodge Viper, old Jaguar, or Shelby Cobra
Car clubs I'm in

Yeah, hey. This is Marty.
Marty, uh, Fugate. The writer from Sarasota Magazine.
Oh, yeah. Pam told me about…
It's like a day-in-the-life. So if …
Yeah, she was saying you want to "shadow me." Not today. Today is a bad day.
This is just a preliminary.
This is a very bad week. 'K, you want to set up a time. I can give you a day-in-the-life…some day, next week…not the whole day. Cool?
'K. I'll look at my schedule, see what's open, and send you an e-mail. Cool?
Cool. It's…
She gave it to me.
Ground rules. Don't use my real name or specify where I live. Use a pseudonym. Call me anything, just not Joe. You can do poetic license?
'K. So change my name. Don't use my girlfriend's name. Cool?
On the subject of what I do: You can mention any national publications, M.I.T. Technology Review, etc., work-for-hire product writing–obviously you can talk about the stuff they pay me to write about because they want publicity. Get the facts right. Don't put words in my mouth. If I use the words "non-disclosure agreement," don't disclose what I was talking about or I will hurt you.
Sarasota Magazine doesn't burn its…
That was a joke. Ha-ha. 'K, you're going to say "send me a bio." I don't know where it is–how 'bout I just tell you? Cool?
'K. So, my bio…Born in California–are you typing this?
Cool. You're pretty fast. Anyway. California brat. My parents were marginal show-biz types, like hippie-freak intellectuals–they used to get high with Stewart Brand. We moved around a lot. Woodland Hills, Malibu, San Diego. I had a band in the '80s. I was the drummer, we called ourselves "The Cyb3rPhunks5"–that's kind of lame, don't mention the band. Smart kid, I got scholarships, "future's so bright I had to wear shades," etc. Cal-Tech, UC Berkeley. I kept changing my major–you're still keeping up?
Cool. Musician, writer, engineer, graphic artist, computer geek, code monkey, writer. I couldn't make up my mind, so I earned, like, the equivalent of six degrees without getting one. I'm not really sure if I graduated–but if I did, it was '89, which makes me…I dunno. In college, I started writing about…stuff. After college, people started paying me to write. About stuff. I did tech writing, which is different than writing about tech. So at the time they were kinda pouring the concrete for the "Information super highway," I made various connections to various writing/editing/publishing types in the emerging geek community–Wired, Boingboing, etc. I, uh, wound up writing and editing this lifestyles thing in Silicon Valley, it was this totally online magazine about stuff, with no ads or subscription fee or other source of income except that people kept investing in it, and they, like, paid you in stock. So, anyway, I lived in this cube for, like, three years and I made a lot of ka-ching. Like, for me, the '90s were like the new '80s. Then I kept having nightmares about tulips, so I quit the magazine and the guy who owned it kept yelling at me like it's this big personal betrayal and he's my friend, but I cashed out right before, you know, the bubble. Went pop. Then I left and moved to Sarasota, 'cause I was sick of the West Coast. See, my uncle owned a Best Western motel that doesn't exist anymore and we used to go there every summer, so that's why. Anyway, after I moved here, I got back into writing for the various people I used to write for. They're all over the country, but I'm doing it by remote control. So I'm doing OK. Then it's Y2K, and I go to this con, Siggraph–like, this bleeding-edge graphic arts convention–in New Orleans. My friend is there, and he whips out his laptop and starts checking out the market, he's like, "Ahh, the sky is falling!" I'm just keeping my mouth shut, y'know. "Gee, good thing I cashed out," like a C.H.U.D. I'm not gonna be that guy, so I kept my mouth shut. It's just pure dumb luck I'm not living in a dumpster. Divorced, no kids, don't ask.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

In terms of the issue of the real crisis, popular perceptions (both in the
U.S. and around the world) about the '08 financial downturn, the more
recent need to increase the debt ceiling moves, the downgrading from AAA
by S&P, the fears of another recession, etc are all about the U.S.
weakening as a superpower. You do a good job of saying that look guys the
issue is neither financial nor economic; it is political and the grounding
in the concept of political economy. The one thing I feel is missing is
the link between the real crisis (a political economic one) and what does
it mean for the international standing of the United States. That I really
think is the missing link here, which you should make, which would turn
this into a solid piece. I say this because you argue in TN100Y and TND
that the U.S. may have short term issues but its long term outlook is very
strong, which goes against the conventional wisdom about the "end of the
American age" by the Fareed Zakarias of this world and many others.

By either definition of recession you're wrong. NBER puts the beginning of
the US recession in Dec. 2007. Q1 of 2008 saw the first month of economic
contraction. So the US recession did not begin in Q3.
There can be no argument against the fact that the US subprime credit
shock pushed the US and Europe into recession. Yes this glosses over
numerous details such as Europe's own business cycle, the fact that many
subprime-like mortages were securitized in Europe too, notably Spain, and
structural deficiencies in the European economic bloc.
But the overarching point is valid. The August 2007 subprime credit shock
immediately impacted global markets. The Fed and ECB began responding in
tandem from the very beginning. And the US and Europe essentially entered
a synchronized recession.

yeah, and US growth in 07 wasn't shabby either
but europe dropped into recession in 1q09 and the US not until 3q08
so unless you're saying that european banks were so invalid that they were
more greatly impacted by US subprime than US banks, europe's recession
started for its own reasons before the US recession

Political Economy and the Global Economic Crisis
The classical political economists like Adam Smith or David Ricardo never
used the term "economy" by itself. They always used the term "political
economy. For classical economists, it was impossible to understand
politics without economics or economics without politics. They were
certainly different but intimately linked. The use of the term "economy"
by itself doesn't begin until the late 19th century. Smith understood that
while an efficient market would emerge from individual choices, those
choices were framed by the political system in which they were made, just
as the political system was shaped by economic realities. For classical
economists, the political and economic system were intimately connected,
each depended on the other to exist.
The current economic crisis is best understood as a crisis of political
economy. Moreover it has to be understood as a global crisis, enveloping
the United States, Europe and China, with very different details, but a
major overriding theme: the relationship between the political order and
economic life. On a global scale, or at least for most of the world's
major economies, there is a crisis of political economy. Let's consider
how it evolved.
As we all know, its origin was in the subprime crisis in the United
States. Actually no, the EU was in full blown recession in 1Q2008, more
than six months before US subprime broke To be more precise, it originated
in the financial system generating paper whose value depended on the price
of residential housing. It assumed that the price of homes would always
rise, and at the very least, that should the price fluctuate the value of
the paper could still be determined. Neither proved to be true. The price
of housing declined and worse, the value of the financial paper became
indeterminate. This placed the entire American financial system in a
state of gridlock, and the crisis spilled over to Europe, where many
financial institutions had purchased the paper as well. Reinforced the
crisis, not started
From the standpoint of economics, this was essentially a monetary
crisis-who made and lost money and how much. >From the standpoint of
political economy it raised a different question: the legitimacy of the
financial elite. Think of a national system as a series of
subsystems-political, economic, military and so on. Then think of the
economic system as also divisible into subsystems-various corporate
verticals, each with their own elites, one of which is the financial
system. Obviously this oversimplifies, but I'm doing that to make a
point-one of the systems, the financial system, failed, and the failure
was due to decisions made by the financial elite. This created a massive
political problem centered not so much on confidence in any particular
financial instrument, but rather on the competence and honesty of the
financial elite itself. A sense emerged that the financial elite was
either stupid or dishonest or both. More exactly, the idea was that the
financial elite had violated all principles of fiduciary, social and moral
responsibility in seeking their own personal gain at the expense of
society as a whole.
Fair or not, this perception created a massive political crisis. Id modify
somewhat - despite the fact that the EU recession started first, there was
no outrage against European financial elites at this time (that didn't
even start to happen until 2011) This was the true systemic crisis,
compared to which the crisis of the financial institutions was trivial.
The question was whether or not the political system was capable of not
merely fixing the crisis, but holding the perpetrators responsible.
Alternatively, if the financial crisis did not involve criminality, how
could the political system not have created laws to render such action
criminal? Was the political elite in collusion with the financial system?
There was a crisis of confidence in the financial system. There was also
a crisis of confidence in the political system. The actions of September
2008 in the United States were designed first to deal with the failures of
the financial system. It was expected by many that this would be followed
by dealing with the failures of the financial elite. The latter was not
perceived to have happened. Indeed, the perception was that having spent
large sums of money to stabilize the financial system, the financial elite
was allowed by the political elite to manage the system to their benefit.
This generated the second crisis-the crisis of the political elite. The
Tea Party movement emerged as critics of the political elite, focusing on
the measures taken to stabilize the system and arguing that it had created
a new financial crisis, this time in excessive sovereign debt. That's an
extremely simplistic and misleading depiction of the tea party -- this is
a part (a very very small part) of the TP's origins....far more of it had
to do with the general conservative backlash against the Obama admin
...yes economic differences are part of that, but they're definitely not
the bulk The Tea Party's perception was extreme but the idea that the
political elite had solved the financial problem both by generating
massive debt and accumulating excessive state power. That sentence is much
closer .... I think if you clarify the `focusing on the measures taken to
stabilize the system' and make it more specific to O's policies you'll get
where you want to go Their argument was that the political elite used the
financial crisis to dramatically increase the power of the state (health
care reform was the poster child for this) while mismanaging the financial
system through excessive sovereign debt. My concern is you're mixing up
the cart and horse here....the tea party arose before things like
obamacare and came to power after it was passed into law -- ur getting the
order mixed up
The sovereign debt question also created both a financial and then a
political crisis in Europe. While the American financial certainly
effected Europe, its political crisis was deepened by the resulting
recession. There had long been a minority in Europe who felt that the EU
had been constructed either to support the financial elites at the expense
of the broader population, or to strengthen northern Europe France and
Germany at the expense of the periphery-or both. What had been a minority
view was strengthened by the recession.
Strongly rec removing all Europe references to this point
The European crisis paralleled the American in that financial institutions
were bailed out. That's really not happened yet -- its coming, but there
have actually been very few bailouts to date (less than 10% by value) But
the deeper crisis was that Europe did not act as a single unit to deal
with all European banks, but on a national basis, with each nation focused
on their own banks, and the ECB seeming to favor northern Europe in
general and Germany in particular. This particular became the theme as the
recessions hit generated disproportionate crises in the peripheral
countries like Greece. Yeah, drop the bank thing -- that's just not
happened...nearly all the financial crises so far have been sovereign, not
financial, so you'll need to adjust the financial elite bit too
There are two narratives to the story. There is the German narrative,
which has become the common explanation, which was that Greece wound up in
a sovereign debt crisis because of the irresponsibility of the Greek
government in maintaining social welfare programs in excess of what they
could fund, and that now the Greeks were expending others, particularly
the Germans to bail them out.
The Greek narrative, which is less noted, was that the Germans rigged the
EU in their favor. Germany is the world's second largest exporter, after
China. By creating a free trade zone, the German's created captive
markets for their goods. During the prosperity of the first 20 years or
so, this was hidden beneath general growth. But once a crisis hit, the
inability of Greece to devalue its money-its money was controlled by the
ECB as the Euro-and the ability of Germany to continue exporting without
any ability of Greece to control those exports, exacerbated Greece's
recession, leading to a sovereign debt crisis. Moreover, the regulations
generated by Brussels so enhanced the German position that Greece was
Which narrative is true is not the point. The point is that Europe is
facing two political crises generated by economics. One crisis is the
American one, which is the belief that Europe's political elite protected
the financial elite. Its actually more the political elite that is
directly targeted not, the financial elite not so much The other is a
particularly European one, which is a regional crisis, in which parts of
Europe have come to distrust each other rather vocally. This is a
potential existential crisis for the European Union.
The American and European crises struck hard at China, helping generate
its own crisis. China is the world's largest export economy, hostage
particularly to Europe and the United States. When they went into
recession, ....they've not...much more accurate to say `when their exports
to these regions plummeted' the Chinese government faced a crisis. It
faced an unemployment crisis. If factories closed, workers would be
unemployed and unemployment in China could lead to massive social
instability. The Chinese government had two responses. The first was to
keep factories going by encouraging price reductions to the point where
profit margins on exports evaporated. The second was to lend money to
enterprises facing default on debts in order to keep them in business.
The strategy of course worked, but only at the cost of substantial
inflation. This led to a second crisis, where workers faced contraction
of already small incomes. The response was to increase incomes, which in
turn increased the cost of goods exported once again, making China's wage
rates less competitive than Mexico's for example.
China had previously encouraged entrepreneurs. This was easy when Europe
and the United States were booming. Now, the rational move by
entrepreneurs was to go off-shore or lay off workers or both. The Chinese
government couldn't afford this, and therefore began to intrude more an
more into the economy. The political elite sought to stabilize the
situation, and their own positions, by increasing controls on both the
financial and other corporate elites.
In different ways, that is what happened in all three entities, at least
as first steps. In the United States the first impulse was to increase
control by regulating the financial sector, stimulating the economy, and
increasing control over sectors of the economy, particularly health care.
??lost me there - how does increasing control over health care be the
first impulse of recovering from a recession? In Europe, where there was
already substantial controls over the economy, the political elite started
to parse how those controls would work and who would benefit more. In
China, where the political elite always retained implicit power over the
economy, that power was increased. In all three cases, the first impulse
was to use political controls.
In all three, this generated resistance. In the United States the Tea
Party was simply the most active and effective manifestation of that
resistance. It went beyond them. In Europe, the resistance came from
anti-Europeanists (and anti-immigration forces that blamed the EU's open
border policies for uncontrolled immigration). It also came from political
elites of countries like Greece, confronting the political elites of other
countries. In China the resistance has come from those being hurt by
inflation, both consumers and business interests whose exports are less
competitive and profitable.
Not every significant economy is caught in this crisis. The Russians had
this crisis years ago and had already tilted toward the political elite's
control over the economy. Brazil and India have not experienced the
extremes of China, but then they haven't had the extreme growth rates of
China. I'd scratch brazil from this list -- I'd actually argue they're
getting affected more than china from all this (just in a radically
different way) But when the United States, Europe and China go into a
crisis of this sort, then it can reasonably be said that the center of
gravity of the world's economy and most of its military power is in
crisis. It is not a trivial moment.
Crisis does not mean collapse. The United States has substantial political
legitimacy to draw on. Europe has less but its constituent nations are
strong. China's Communist Party is a formidable entity. But they are no
longer dealing with a financial crisis. It is dealing with a political
crisis over the manner in which the political elites have managed the
financial crisis. It is this political crisis that is most dangerous,
because as the political elite weakens, it loses the ability to manage and
control other elites.
It is vital to understand that this is not an ideological challenge. Left
wingers opposing globalization and right wingers opposing immigration are
engaged in the same process-challenging the legitimacy of the elite. Nor
is it simply a class issue. The challenge emanates from many areas. The
challengers are not yet in the majority, but they are not so far away from
it as to be discounted. But the real problem is that while the challenge
to the elite goes on, the profound differences in the challengers make an
alternative political elite difficult to imagine.
This then is the third crisis that can emerge, which is that the elites
become delegitimized and all that there is to replace them is a deeply
divided and hostile force, united in hostility to the elite but without
any coherent ideology of their own. In the United States this would lead
to paralysis. In Europe it would lead to a default to the nation-state.
In China it would lead to regional fragmentation and conflict.
These are all extreme outcomes and there are many arrestor cables before
the situation gets there. But we cannot understand what is going on
without understanding two things. The first is that it is, if not global,
at least widespread and that uprising elsewhere have their own roots but
are linked in some ways to this crisis. The second is that this is not an
economic problem but a matter of political economy, in which the economic
problem has triggered a political problem which is exacerbating the
The followers of Adam Smith may believe in an autonomous economic sphere
disengaged from politics, but Adam Smith was far more subtle. That's why
he called his greatest book "The Wealth of Nation." It was about wealth,
but about nations as well. It was a work of political economy and teaches
us a great deal about the moment we are in.

YUM! Do I really need to say more?
Balsamic & Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower
From EatingWell: January/February 2008
Roasting isn't usually the first cooking method you think of for cauliflower but the results are quite delicious. The florets are cut into thick slices and tossed with extra-virgin olive oil and herbs. Wherever the flat surfaces come into contact with the hot roasting pan, a deep browning occurs that results in a sweet, nutty flavor.
107 Reviews for Balsamic & Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower
It wasn't a very big hit with my family. I think I'll stick with roasting cauliflower and leave out balsamic vinegar/parm step.
I have made this twice, my family loves it! I didn't have marjoram, and just omitted it completely, no substitutes, and it was fine. Although in the future I might experiment or get the marjoram. Just trying to get more good veggies into our dining, now that it is springtime.
This was so simple, and very tasty! My husband, who is not usually crazy about cauliflower, loved this!

Isles' Power Play Takes Win in OT: Devils Still Undefeated in Regulation
Devils played the roller coaster type of game that they didn't want. The team was consistently trying to catch up rather than staying ahead. Tallinder was interviewed after being down 1-0 at the end of 1 and stated that they needed to return to their style of hockey. Tallinder was also able to tally a goal to help even the game up in the second at 3.
New Jersey spent a lot of time in the penalty box. Justified or not, the Devils have already given up 29 power play opportunities to opposing teams this season. That is the biggest reason they lost, as the Islanders were able to score 3 power play goals; 1 of those goals being the game winner in OT. 5 on 5 play, the Devils jumped out on the Islanders early getting the first 8 of 9 shots on goal. New Jersey just wasn't able to put one past Nabokov early. Their momentum shifted and the game turned into the run and gun style after they surrendered the first PP goal to the Islanders. It happened to be Tavares 1st goal of the season, which ended his 15 game scoreless streak.
Even though the Devils have not lost in regulation, the team has missed out on 3 points. It's not all doom and gloom, their were definitely positives that can come out of the game. The two Adams returned to the lineup. It was the first time this season that either Larson or Henrique have seen NHL ice-time. Larsson made his presence felt, first, helping set up Tallinder's goal, but then tipping a shot from the Islanders that resulted in their 4th goal of the game. Adam Henrique had minimal practice with the team and was able to return to the lineup like he never left. Deboer spoke before the game about Henrique possibly having reduced ice time and playing on the 4th line. All in an attempt to 'ease' him back into the game. That didn't last long as Henrique returned to the top line with Kovy and Zajac, before the game was through. Henrique also didn't loose his big time goal touch, as he score within the last 5 minutes of the 3rd to push the game to OT.
Another positive was the effort by the third line. That line accounted for two big goals as the Devils quickly answered the Islanders second PP goal. Bernier recorded the Devils' first goal 32 seconds after Aucoin's power play tally. The third line applied such great pressure, Deboer put them back out on the ice and Carter scored a few minutes later to tie the game at 2.
Matt Anderson only logged 4 and a half minutes of Ice time but he returned to the lineup for the second straight game. Tonight he was able to record his first NHL point as he had the primary assist in Carter's goal.
Scoring for New Jersey:
Bernier (1), assisted by Gionta (1) & Carter (1)
Carter (1), assisted by Anderson (1) & Gionta (2)
Tallinder (1) assisted by Zajac (1)
Henrique (1) assisted by Clarkson (4) & Zubrus (2)
Three Stars
1. B. Boyles
2. R. Carter
3. John Tavares
New Jersey's next game is Saturday, 1PM at Pittsburgh.

Petals, 2010, mixed media on panel, 48" x 48" sold
Michael Cutlip's paintings with their highly individual style and color palette have become a recognizeable force in the Bay Area art scene. in the words of essayist Paul Liberatore,Cutlip is like a jazz musician - heimprovises, painting variations on a theme in a style that is distinctly his own. His fans can tell a Michael Cutlip painting just as jazz buffs can identify Miles Davis or John Coltrane after the first few notes. Michael Cutlip grew up in Belmont and was attending Cal State in Hayward studying business when he took an art class to fulfill a requirement. The instructor saw something in Michael and encouraged his talent. Cutlip changed his direction, getting his degree in art and dedicating himself to the pursuit of, as he puts it "that one fantastic painting". There have been many along the way, and Cutlip has shown his work in galleries across the United States, Canada, and Japan.
Michael has that elusive quality that artist's strive for. He can change and respond to a painting in the middle of the process while constantly challenging the work by inserting something unexpected and improbable. It is in resolving these disparate elements over and over again that he has honed his craft and found his own very clear voice. His work is consistent and finely realized and yet he is full of surprises, incorporating the unexpected at every turn and finding a way to make it work.

At its heart, bingo is a simple game. Cards are daubed when they list the number called and play continues until someone has five of the numbers called in a row on a card. But with a variety of games and playing options at Mystic Lake, getting started can be a bit daunting. That's why we've created Bingo University – a way for you to learn all you need to know to get in on the fun!
How to Play Bingo
Conventional 75-number bingo (played at Mystic Lake) is a well known game. Players purchase bingo cards that typically have a grid of five horizontal rows and five vertical columns. The columns are labeled 'B' 'I' 'N' 'G' 'O' from left to right across the top of the vertical columns. Each card would typically have five numbers down each column and a center 'FREE SPACE' in the 'N' column.
Bingo balls individually numbered 1 through 75 are mixed together and are randomly selected one at a time. As each ball is selected, the number (and letter) is announced to the players, who will mark or daub the corresponding number on their bingo cards with an ink dauber. When a player completes a predetermined pattern (arrangement) of covered numbers on a card (face), the player yells out "bingo!" Once the bingo card is verified as being valid, that player wins the game.
Players will purchase bingo cards for use during a bingo session. A package of cards is typically required to play a bingo session. Winning players will receive a pre-announced cash or merchandise prize. Normally, a bingo session includes a number of individual bingo games with different winning patterns. The session will offer a number of regular games (part of the package) and some jackpot games.
Paper Bingo vs. Electronic Bingo
Most bingo sessions can be played on either paper cards or on a hand-held electronic unit.
Paper cards vary in color and sizes (six faces, three faces, one face – also known as 6-on, 3-on and 1-on). These paper cards are marked with an ink dauber during a bingo game.
Electronic bingo is played on a hand-held device. The bingo cards are downloaded into the unit when it is purchased prior to the session. Guests may purchase up to 84 cards per game during weekend evening and matinee sessions. The limit for all weekday sessions is 63 cards. The hand-held unit is fully automated, daubing all cards appropriately and alerting the player when a bingo has been achieved.
Winning Bingo Patterns
Although most bingo games are won with straight-line bingos, there are several variations that can be played. The type of bingo that will be awarded is always announced prior to the game being played. See examples of bingo variations below.
Understanding Regular Game Payouts
Most regular session bingo games have payouts based on what package (Level 1, 2, 3, or Intro) is purchased. Payouts are split according to the prize level divided by the total number of bingos. For example, say during an evening session a game finishes with four winners – with one winner at each level. The Intro player would receive $38 ($150/4, rounded up), the Level 1 player would receive $75 ($300/4), the Level 2 player would receive $150 ($600/4), and the Level 3 player would receive $250.
Sideboards – also called side packs – are additional 3-on cards that are played during specific regular session games. They can be purchased at the bingo sales counter. Sideboards can also be downloaded to an electronic hand-held unit. Sideboards are available in all package levels.
Purchasing Extras
Guests can purchase extra cards for jackpot games in two places. Extra cards for electronic hand-held units must be purchased at the bingo sales counter prior to the session. Each session has a maximum number of cards allowed per game. See the session program for details.
Paper extras can be purchased from bingo floor clerks until the game begins. Paper extras are unlimited, but it is recommended that a player only purchase a number of cards he or she can comfortably play. The costs for extras are detailed in the session programs.
Bingo Jackpots
Bingo sessions offer a wide variety of jackpots with different ways to win them. Jackpots can range anywhere from a few hundred dollars up to $150,000. You can find out the current bingo jackpot numbers and prizes on the right side of any bingo page in this website or by calling our bingo hotline at 952-496-7272.

Take flights to Copenhagen for canalside strolls, Danish dining and a captivating little mermaid.
Things to do
Take in Copenhagen's slender spires and gabled houses on a relaxed boat trip through the canals on your Copenhagen holiday. The much-photographed Little Mermaid of fairy-tale fame perches enticingly on a rock at the entrance to the harbour.
Mix shopping with sightseeing along Strøget on your Copenhagen city break. The grand pedestrianised boulevard is packed with pavement cafes, street entertainers and stores selling everything from fine Royal Copenhagen porcelain to Little Mermaid statues for your mantelpiece.
After flights to Copenhagen, dine alfresco and watch the sailing boats bob on the water at Nyhavn Harbour. The bustling restaurants and cafes here serve a smorgasbord of local flavours, from open rye bread sandwiches to frikadeller (Danish meatballs) and smoked herring.
The Danes take partying seriously, starting late and continuing till the sun rises. The central Latiner Kvarter and Vesterbrogade are the go-to neighbourhoods for hyggelige (cosy) pubs, people-watching lounges and pulsating DJ bars after flights to Copenhagen.
When to go
KLM has frequent flights to Copenhagen. Raise a toast at the Copenhagen Beer Festival in May, or buy tickets for the Copenhagen Jazz Festival in July.

I have a friend who is going to buy Dust Tactics this coming year and some of the figurine expansions.
I saw this Dust Warfare book and read a couple articles, but I still am not sure what it is in relation to Dust Tactics. Is it similar to an RPG core manual, an expansion on rules...? Could anyone help me fill in the blanks? I'm sure my friend would appreciate it and I would prefer to be more well versed in explaining it to him next time I see him.

The novel follows the story of Chance Murdoch, a single father of two who falls in love with his daughter's much-younger high school calculus teacher. Chance must face the problems that come with liking a woman 12 years younger than him and decide if the risk of damaging his relationship with his daughter is worth it, all while dealing with the "ex-wife from hell" who wants to ruin any happiness that may come to Chance.
While the story is loosely based on some of Stuteville's own divorce experiences, the book is a fiction story. Local readers may recognize the towns mentioned in the book; "Chance of a Lifetime" is set in Spring City, Tenn.
"I try to write about locations I know and that people can relate to," Stuteville said. Some of his other works are based in his hometown of Etowah.
Stuteville began writing "Chance of a Lifetime" 11 years ago, just four years after going through the divorce that inspired the storyline of the book. He used writing as a way to cope with his divorce in a way that would not negatively affect his two children, ages 9 and 11 at the time.
"The last thing I wanted to do was put their mother down in front of them," Stuteville said. "I would come home, put the kids to bed, then I would write. It gave me an outlet to put away my frustrations."
Stuteville wrote 30 to 40 pages each night, and over the course of three months, he completed the first draft of his book. He spent the next year revising and polishing the story before finally taking the chance and sending it to various publishers.
"I got probably 30 to 40 rejection letters," Stuteville said, explaining that most publishers asked who his agent was.
Stuteville found himself facing what he describes as the "Catch 22" of the publishing business: publishers will not consider you without an agent, and agents will not consider you without having been published previously. So he continued writing, revising and interacting with others in the writing field while he waited on the right opportunity to come.
During that time, he reconnected with an old classmate that he had known since third grade, Kathy, via Classmates.com. Kathy encouraged him to continue in his quest to publish the book and soon went from being just an encouraging friend to becoming his wife. The couple will celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary in July.
Despite the rejections, Stuteville continued to revise the novel as well as began writing several other stories to develop at a later time. Stuteville estimates the version of the novel that was recently published was probably the 10th revision made to the original script.
Stuteville heard about dMon Publishing from a friend of his who had been signed to publish a book about his experiences in the "Hotter' n Hell" cycling ride in Wichita Falls, Texas.
The company specializes in publishing new authors and takes a more traditional approach in that it does not also act as a publicist for its authors.
Stuteville worked with dMon Publishing to refine the manuscript even further, then on Jan. 29, 2013, the 216-page novel was released in paperback and e-book format.
"It was probably one of the better feelings of my life," Stuteville said about the first time he held the finished product. "I guess you could describe it almost like the first time I held my daughter. This is something I created."
Stuteville has been writing since he was 14 years old, starting with short stories in high school, then later on essays in the style of American writer and humorist Lewis Grizzard, though he never had any of his work published. He never planned to write a novel or get it published until he began writing "Chance of a Lifetime."
"I just wanted to know that I could write something and touch people's lives," Stuteville said. He has received positive feedback from people who have read the book, especially from people who have also gone through divorces and can relate to the main character.
Aside from writing, Stuteville also works full-time as the vice president of operations for J&S Restaurants, a position that he has held for 22 years. Most people, he said, are surprised to find out that he also manages to write on the side and has published his first book.
"When I do write, it's in bits and pieces," Stuteville said, adding he takes notes throughout the day and rereads everything he has written before sitting down to resume writing his manuscripts.
He also uses a Dropbox account so that he can write from any location. Currently, Stuteville has started nine different manuscripts and has ideas for more, including a sequel for "Chance of a Lifetime."
"Even though I have a writing nook upstairs," Stuteville said, "I usually sit at the kitchen table so I can be close to [Kathy]."
Stuteville said that he relates well to Dean Koontz' theory of writing: Just sit down and write. Stylistically, he aligns himself with Charles Martin, who is also one of his favorite authors, and Nicholas Sparks.
"When I'm not writing, I read mysteries," Stuteville said. "When you're writing, read things like what you're writing. When you're not writing, read everything else."
Stuteville will be publishing his second novel, a suspenseful mystery called "Careless Whispers," this fall, though a specific release date has not been decided yet.
He is also working on a novel based on the life of his sister to be released in 2014 called "Forever and For Always." The book tells about the love story of Stuteville's sister and her husband throughout her battle with cancer and her husband's life after she was gone. Stuteville remarked that though he started writing "Forever and For Always" two years after his sister's death, long before "Careless Whispers," it took longer to write because of how emotional the writing process is.
"It's a really emotional book to write because it hits so close to home," Stuteville said. "My sister was my best friend."
Kathy handles a lot of the publicity for his books and helps to organize autograph signings and advertising. The couple has lived in the Cleveland area for nine years, so she was excited to arrange the book signing at Jittery Joe's on April 27.
"We're hoping it'll be an intimate get-together," Kathy said.
Stuteville is excited to continue writing and publishing his books in the future and encourages other prospective authors to continue trying to find a way to publish their works.
"Never, ever, ever give up," Stuteville said. "It is so easy in this business to give up. Thanks to the Internet, you can find a publisher."
He also encourages up-and-coming writers to write something, whether it be an email or letter or a piece of novel, every day.
"It's been a long process," Stuteville said, "but it's been a good process because it has helped me become a better person."
The paperback version of "Chance of a Lifetime" is available online from Amazon and Books-A-Million. E-book versions are available through the online stores at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. Copies of the book are also available to check out at Cleveland Bradley Public Library, E.G. Fisher Library in Athens and Audrey Pack Library in Spring City.
Copies will also be available for purchase at Jittery Joe's on April 27 and through Stuteville's website, www.edstuteville.com.

Jeff O'Connell is the author of "Sugar Nation: The Hidden Truth Behind America's Deadliest Habit and the Simple Way to Beat It." I discovered his book while browsing the shelves of my local library, and I could hardly put it down. Though I have type I diabetes and O'Connell's book focuses on type 2, I found many of his thoughts applicable to my own health. His book is no doubt controversial, so I wanted to delve deeper into his daring claims and share his responses with the diabetic community. After reading my interview with Jeff, please leave a comment below to let Diabetes Health know what you think.

What's the maximum reliable length of USB cable that you can use when shooting tethered?
Does it depend on the camera?
There's lots of conflicting information out on the web; I'm hoping Photo-SE can provide some reliable info.

and help us grow.
USB 1.1/2.0 specifies a maximum cable length of 5 meters (~16 feet) as a function of a minimum required transmission speeds. That's pushing the limit, to some degree, and will be highly dependent on how well the cable is made, shielding, etc. If you're worried about reliability, I would go under that, probably no more than 3 meters (~10 feet). USB 3.0 doesn't actually specify a maximum length, but we're still talking copper here generally, and so the maximum practical length is probably around 3 meters to meet the speed requirements, so on USB 3.0, I'd go less than that again, maybe 2 meters (~6.5 feet). My source for this is Wikipedia which is usually pretty good at explaining standards items. In this regards, I'd probably trust them. In any case, 10 feet is a pretty decent cable length, but if you need much longer, you can also get USB repeaters, bearing in mind that you often get what you pay for with these. So, in general, I think the limiter is most likely associated with cable quality as opposed to the camera. If the camera is truly specified to the USB 2.0 standard, going with a good cable smaller than the maximum, should be more than fine and use of a good repeater can help in extending that length as you need. |
I have 2 12' long active repeater cables and a 6' usb cable I have successfully daisy chained ONE of them from an actively powered USB hub to control my Canon 5Dmk2. As far as I can tell, you can't put a second one on the chain without another power source. I have seen 16' repeaters advertised for ~20USD. So in my successful setup it was: Mac -- 3' USB cable -- powered hub -- 12' repeater cable -- 6' usb cable -- camera trying to put both repeater cables in at the same place the first was didn't work, but if you can put another powered hub in place you could probably string quite a distance. If you need really long distance and don't mind a bit of expense, there's a MUCH better solution: USB over cat5. Example: http://www.amazon.com/IOGear-Ethernet-Extender-GUCE51-Black/dp/B000O2X2OA They say you can get "close to 200'" with that + a cheap cat 5e cable. A former co-worker uses these (I think that's the model he bought) to operate his telescope, one extends the USB connection on the scope base to his computer, and another extends the USB connection from the computer to the camera he has attached to it. he's using 75' long ethernet cables pulled through a conduit from his basement out to the slab in his backyard where he mounts his telescope. |
I have a 5 meters USB cable that was quite cheap and that I use regularly with my Nikon D700. No problem so far ... |
The issue with the cable length is related to signal quality, some cable will work at lengths greater than 5 meters as previously stated, If you use a hub at the end of the first 5 metre cable the HUB effectively "cleans up" the D+ and D- lines and enables another length of cable to be added. up to 5 hubs can be daisy chained as also previously mentiond! limitations of power only come into the equation if you need the maximum 500mA available from a standard USB port as each hub will consume some of this "power" available. you can use self powered hubs for the first 4 in the chain (without additional usb devices connected) and then use an external PSU for the last externaly powered hub. this then allows the maximum current available at the end of the run! - depending on the type of device used the USB current limitations may not be an issue, general rule of thumb - if the device has its own PSU it wont draw much from the USB host HUB/PC ie a printer, but any thing that can be charged via USB will probably push it over the limit! All "Certified" USB ports must be able to withstand an over current/short circuit condition without any long term failiure. during the USB "enumeration" process the device current demands must be reported to the host and the host must "report" its maximum current available to the device. in the case of apple products USB specs are thrown out of the window, iPad will suck 2.1 amps from a USB port if it can! |
In my experience working as a digital operator on pro photoshoots, cables longer than 5m start to have issues 5m is what I and many others I know work to as a maximum without adding repeaters and power boosters etc Obviously buy the best quality cable you can afford it will help and try not to go over 5m If you are looking at longer cables maybe you need to look at moving your camera closer instead |
I bought a cheap £3.5 1.8m "Superspeed USB 3.0" cable on eBay. They sent me a 3m "Hey, we upgraded you for free" cable. My WD Passport Ultra portable hard drive isn't recognised at all, and my Integral pen drive worked erratically (note that both devices are USB 3.0). After reporting the problem, they sent me another cable, this time 2m (so still not quite I ordered). Originally, both devices worked, but occasionally the hard drive connection drops. So in my experience, the only limit is "anything that works well". If you have a crappy el-cheapo cable like mine, even 2m (6 feet ish) can be too long. Conversely, I assume that if you get a really good quality cable that has been tested and certified, then it's ok whatever the length is! So this time around, I did get what I paid for. |

Kuala Lumpur
Take flights to Kuala Lumpur for sky-high views, market haggling and sizzling satay at energetic night markets.
Things to do
Get your bearings over Kuala Lumpur from the giddy 452-metre height of the Petronas Towers. The 41st-floor Skybridge affords sweeping views over Kuala Lumpur's forest of skyscrapers.
Join the throng at the Art Deco Central Market to haggle for colourful batik fabrics, painted parasols and gleaming kris daggers. The stinky but sweet durian, prickly rambutan and smooth soursop fruits sold here are worth trying on your Kuala Lumpur holiday.
Flaming woks and animated chatter fill Kuala Lumpur's roadside night markets. Head to Jalan Alor to feast on chicken satay dipped in peanut sauce, spicy curries mopped up with roti and fragrant rice served on banana leaves.
Party spirit meets colonial architecture on Asian Heritage Row. DJs spin R'n'B in fashionable clubs and local bands perform in laid-back bars. The Indo-chic lounge bars are a decadent place to relax with a cocktail after Kuala Lumpur flights.
When to go
KLM has frequent flights to Kuala Lumpur. Time your Kuala Lumpur city break to catch top events, like the firecrackers and lion dances of Chinese New Year, or the culture-packed programme at July's KL Festival.

Source: Bulls star Derrick Rose just weeks from practicing
BY JOE COWLEY email@example.com December 3, 2012 7:01PM
Injured Bulls guard Derrick Rose works out for a brief time before the Chicago Bulls take on the Milwaukee Bucks Tuesday October 16, 2012 at the United Center. | Tom Cruze~Sun-Times

It now looks like it was no coincidence that Adidas showed the final episode of Derrick Rose's ''The Return'' ad campaign last week.
According to an NBA source, while ''The Return'' to the court for NBA games is still up in the air for Rose, the all-everything point guard could be just weeks away from practicing with the Bulls again after surgery on his left anterior cruciate ligament last May.
''That's the belief that a couple of [the Bulls'] players are under,'' the source said.
Rose has been expected to be able to play in games by February, but that has been inferred more than actually stated. Even if the Bulls receive the ultimate Christmas present of getting him back on the practice court just before Dec. 25, it doesn't mean he's necessarily ahead of that February schedule — or behind it.
Asked Monday if there was a specific timetable for Rose to start practicing, general manager Gar Forman answered in a text message: ''We're still taking the process step by step, and a date hasn't been set.''
Rose has been cutting on the knee for at least two weeks and was seen running sprinting drills at the Berto Center after the Monday practice, with one sprint leaving teammate Kirk Hinrich yelling out in encouragement.
Considering the state of the Bulls' backcourt while Rip Hamilton is out with torn plantar fascia in his left foot, any news would be good news for this group.
Asked about naming a replacement for Hamilton for tonight's game with the Indiana Pacers, coach Tom Thibodeau said, ''I'm not sure yet.'' Asked if Marco Belinelli or Jimmy Butler would be the leading candidate, Thibodeau gave a ''could be'' response. He said no matter which player is put in the No. 2 spot, he'd be comfortable with the decision.
''Yep, everybody we have has played well at one time or another, so I feel good about that position,'' he said. ''Marco has started a lot of games before, Jimmy has been playing terrific all season long, and we have some flexibility, too. Kirk can go to the two, so we'll be fine.''
The media isn't the only group waiting and wondering. Butler said even the players have no idea who will start against the Pacers.
''I really do not know,'' Butler said. ''Coach hasn't said anything. He said he's going to try out the lineups and see how everything is looking, and then he'll let us know [Tuesday].''
Hinrich, usually the starting point guard, admitted to playing some two in practice Monday.
''I would be comfortable doing whatever,'' Hinrich said. ''I've been working in on a dummy offense at the two a little bit, just so I would know it. I would have no problem with anything [Thibodeau] did, to be honest, as long as it's what we would want to do as a team and the direction we'd want to go with to give us the best chance to win.''
The diagnosis for the veteran Hamilton is still the same.
''Basically, could be a week, could be two weeks, could be longer,'' Thibodeau added. ''Once he feels good enough to play, he'll be back.''
The hope is he won't be returning to the practice court alone.
