If anyone spots a Venza in my driveway - one actually owned by me, not borrowed - please shoot me. This Toyota has the sex appeal of a turnip and far less sporting character than the little red wagon I admired as a 4-year-old. The high beltline, the é ride motions, and the boring-at-all-costs attitude is more than I can stomach. Also, I detected a few poor trim fits inside which makes me suspicious that Toyota has relaxed its supreme quality standards. I must, however, admit that the Venza is a perfectly suitable transpo-appliance for Joe and Jane Blow who motor through life in a trance. It's affordable, fairly roomy, probably safe, and capable of mid-20-mpg fuel economy. Since it wears a sombrero badge, durability is practically guaranteed. So if these qualities appeal to you, be my guest, but do me a favor and keep your Venza out of my sight.

The Hugs Project is a 100% volunteer organization sending care packages to our beloved troops. No one takes a salary at The Hugs Project, which sends about 100 packages a week and over 5,000 at Christmas. Each box contains "hugs," cooling neckties, which are hand made (over 1 million have been sent so far) and many items which are hard for our troops to get. Our troops deserve the thanks of a grateful nation, and The Hugs Project is trying to show our soldiers just how important they are to our freedom!

I've been volunteering with The Hugs Project for about three years. You will never meet a more dedicated group who work tirelessly for our troops. No one takes a salary; our headquarters, electricity, and water are donated by Crossroads Mall--almost every dime that is donated to The Hugs Projects goes back into sending care packages or buying materials to make a Hug neck cooler or other supplies. What an awesome organization!
More feedback
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Send many more care packages to our troops, teach more people to make Hugs and other items we send the troops, and quit worrying about where our postage money we need for the next month is coming from!
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
About every week
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
Volunteer & I knit neck pillows, help get donated items for the packages, teach groups to make neck pillows and hats, pack the care boxes, and help any way I can.

The rain let up a bit as we entered Epcot. While my dad was getting his ECV, I walked to the gift shop to get a rain coat for DD's Pal Mickey. The poor guy was dripping wet, and the CM's in the store dried him off and made a big fuss as they put his rain gear on. They drew a small crowd as they did so, and probably sold a few Pal Mickeys to the delighted children that watched.
Speaking of Pal Mickey...we found him to be a great addition to our trip. Especially at Epcot, he has all kinds of tidbits about the countries, tells you when the World Showcase "Street Performers" are around, and alerts you to short wait times at certain rides. While we were in the Haunted Mansion, during the ballroom scene, he came alive and acted scared of the ghosts!
Anyway, we always start Epcot off with a trip through Spaceship Earth, and today was no exception. After that, a visit to Crush at Living Seas. This is the 3rd time seeing Crush, and I'm still amazed by the technology. Of course, the day I decide not to film much and leave the camcorder in the locker, Crush calls on my daughter to ask him a question! She asked him about how he swims backwards, and he demonstrated.
We walked back to the Electric Umbrella for lunch. It was crowded with people escaping the persistent rain. I figured that it would be a good time to ride Mission Space, since I had an empty stomach and was planning to snack "around the world" in the World Showcase. I left my ravenous party there and rode MS twice, after the second time I sent a "postcard from space" to myself at one of the kiosks in the Mission Control center. I used the single rider line both times and had no wait at all. Test Track was regrettably closed for rehab, and I expected MS to be more crowded, but it wasn't.
Since my rides had gone so quickly, my party was still eating when I got back to the Electric Umbrella. I then collected all their park tickets and went to get Fastpasses for Soarin, which had a 60 minute standby wait accoring to the message board. Our ride time on the FP was for 5:15, a good 4 hours from when I got it. I put them in a dry place, linked up with the group, and we headed to Mexico to begin our World Tour.
We rode Rio del Tempo, and my daughter began collecting her passport stamps and mask trinkets at the Kidcot station. We hadn't noticed the Kidcot stands on previous trips. Each country in WS has a stand, where a native of the country you're in sits with the children, talks with them and helps them color paper masks. The young man in Morrocco notice dmy Pink Floyd t-shirt under my poncho, and asked my daughter if she was a fan as well. She told him no, she likes the Beatles. He started singing some Beatles songs to her, explaining that he listened to English and American music to help improve his own mastery of English. Who says education can't be fun?
We went from country to country, riding the Maelstrom and collecting more passport stamps. When we got to China, I finally gave in to my hunger and had an egg roll at the CS place there. When we reached Germany, I had my traditional bratwurst with sauerkraut, a slice of Black Forest cake, and a Lowenbrau. Danke Schoen, indeed!
We stopped by the American Adventure to see the show. As many times as I've been to Epcot, I had never been to it. As with the Hall of Presidents, my daughter fell asleep, but I was entranced with the audio-animatronic Ben Franklin...he moved even better than the human Franklin impersonators we have all over Philly!
I was very impressed with the presentaion.
As night began to fall, we browsed the rest of the countries, with the ultimate finale being a dinner at Le Cellier followed by Illuminations. And the rain finally stopped for good!

Fex Urbis Lex Orbis
January 2007
Released: 2006, Alternative Tentacles Rating: 2.5/5 Reviewer: Madman Ludicra are a band I've hated, for a while. I went out of my way to find Ludicra's albums about two years ago, I ended up getting some MP3's and was thoroughly disappointed. Why? Well, two of my favourite musicians, John Cobbett (Hammers of Misfortune, ex-Slough Feg) and Ross Sewage (Impaled, ex-Exhumed) were in the band and they created a horrible mess with both the debut and sophomore efforts, 2002's HOLLOW PSALMS and 2004's ANOTHER GREAT LOVE SONG. The songs really did sound like a mess, especially when they got into faster paced material. It felt generic and boring. A year since my hate for ANOTHER GREAT LOVE SONG began, two since its release, Ludicra come back with another full-length release, that being FEX URBIS LEX ORBIS on Alternative Tentacles records. The style here is black metal, melodic black metal. Many reviewers seem more than happy to toss out references to Dissection but Ludicra's music doesn't sound remotely like Dissection to me. Sure, both play melodic black metal but I feel Dissection could sound more chaotic (at times), more evil (at times), and their melodies weren't exactly that far from your standard Gothenburg band. I honestly couldn't give a proper reference point for Ludicra, partially because I think they do seemingly have their own sound and partly because my personal knowledge of the black metal sub genre, is admittedly rather substandard. Lots of mid-paced riffs, some blast beats here and there, some melodies, and maybe even some links riff-wise to a band like Hammers of Misfortune wouldn't be completely out of place. The production is pretty clean, at least compared to a lot of other underground black metal bands, all the instruments are entirely discernible from one another and the drums have an interestingly dry sound, almost sounding as if they were being played in your basement (some of the echo and bass drum sound). So how does FEX URBIS LEX ORBIS sit against the band's prior works? Another pile of garbage for me? Actually, no. Upon multiple listens I've found myself enjoying this new release from Ludicra. The songs sound as though they were planned better, lots of mid-paced and slower sections for riffs and melodies that breathe. Opening track, "Dead City", opens up pretty slow and stays in a rather gruelling pace for much of the song. Vocalist Laurie Shanaman really carries the track; her raspy screams are quite impressive and carry some depth to them, enough so that it helps the listener discern what she's singing. The album's second track, "In Fever", is easily, in my mind, the best thing I've heard from Ludicra. The main riff is in a very "old school" black metal vein, mid-paced heavy riffing. It has a certain bounce to it that creates a great basis for the vocals. The song contains some interesting melodic interludes but relies greatly on a heavy, straight ahead approach that really makes the song interesting and fun. "Veils" works with a rather melodic, downtrodden feel. The song's pace changes here and there but is generally on the slower side; the melodies take over and the riffing contains a very melodic feel, the song coming off as rather melancholic. The way the drums and guitar work in the beginning creates a very jammy feel to the track and the drums continually work that feeling with interesting fills tossed about. The soft to heavy interplay works well, especially with some of the clean vocals interspersed about. The song does feel a tad too long as I find myself losing interest going into the jammy ending. The pace is picked up in "Only in a Moment", opening tremolo riffs that unfortunately borderline on generic and boring. The descending melody at 1:19 going into a nice build up works well to create some interest and the song does pick up at that point and while the band delves into much more atmospheric fair later in the track, the song never really seems to get going. The album ending "Collapse" (there are only 5 tracks adding up to nearly 40 minutes) feels more like a jumble of ideas than of anything of any real merit. Some good ideas occur such as the song's intro but some ideas are focused on for too long (the song's opening section being a perfect example) while others shouldn't have even been included. While FEX URBIS LEX ORBIS is a stronger release than the bands prior two full-lengths and I do enjoy the album as a whole there are still some definite weak spots here and there that definitely need to be corrected. If you're already a Ludicra fan, I'd definitely recommend obtaining this album as it's their best to date.

I just went to Lowes today and saw that they have tomato seedlings for sale already. Here in Riverside we normally plant tomatoes out in early March. With the unusually warm weather we've had this year, has anyone thought about putting their tomatoes in the ground earlier than normal? |

In a normal year this is totally the wrong time to plant tomatoes. At best they will be successful with the unseasonal temps. Keep in mind we do still have 2 months of winter left & frost is still possible. Either way it will be a learning experience. I have been sowing seeds of things I wouldn't normally sow until March or April. The weather is permitting so why not? It feels like to me the chance for frost diminishes with each warm day passing. |
I have tomatoes and zucchini growing through the Winter in EarthBoxes, so this warm weather serves them well. Spring toms will be planted out around St. Patrick's Day as usual. |
I would wait until March when threat of frost has passed and the soil has warmed up. Lowes and others love to bring the veggies out early so people can buy them, plant them, watch them get killed with frost, then come back and buy some more! Great marketing idea! Elaine |
I am in coastal So Cal and decided to plant a few tomato plants later this week. They will be in self watering containers on wheels that I can move around to follow the sun and protect them from wind and cold if need be. It could end up being too early but we never get frost here (knock on wood) and the temperatures have not been going lower than 48 at night. I will wait until April to plant in ground tomatoes. It's an experiment, wish me luck. |

I have Roma, Cherry, and Big Boy tomato plants all with ripe tomatoes and green ones getting ripe right now. I have one other plant that has green tomatoes, but they are beginning to split and may not do too well, but the Romas and Cherries are doing fine and are prolific. In the past I've had the best luck with cherry tomatoes in the winter, but this year the Romas are doing even better. I'm also in coast SoCal and do not have frost, although I have noticed that parts of my yard are warmer than others, now that I have a laser thermometer. I grow tomatoes in large pots next to the house - my soil in the back yard is too poor to grow much of anything, and so most of my plants are in pots or wine barrels. I've had good luck with bananas and heliconias in the ground, however. Lars |
vall3fam, the big box stores stock tomato seedlings in the Winter for the reasons you stated, and also because some of us push the envelope. Hey, if this 80* weather continues, I may shoehorn in a few early starts myself. |

I have a bunch of tomatoes that survived the december cold snap and me being away for 6 weeks. I'm still picking a few cherries here and there. More importantly, they're flowering, and a couple have new green fruit on them already. One of my long-term goals is to breed frost-tolerant tomatoes. I'm not sure if I got lucky or unlucky with this weather. Anyway, I definitely have seeds to go in the breeding pool. Tomatoes are so easy to grow from seed, I don't bother with buying starts. But there's plenty to be said for getting a jump on tomato season. If you go for some early starts, have a plan to protect them if a cold spell comes our way. Just the tiniest bit of protection can make a huge difference. |
- Posted by desertdance So CA Zone 19 (My Page) on Sun, Feb 2, 14 at 10:06
I would love to start some seeds. I have root riot cubes, but once something roots, those need to be planted out quickly, and last night the turbines came on in the citrus orchards in the valley below. That indicates near freezing temps. It's a tad warmer up here on our hill, but not that much, so I think I'm voting for March. |

Can anyone explain to me what these are and how they work? Can money be taken from them without penalty at anytime? Are they guaranteed only at maturity? If the person dies can they be redeemed without penalty? Would they have better return that ordinary GIC's? I'm from Canada so don't know if this makes any difference. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sorry, can't help. I've never heard of them. Anyone else know? |
When you hear about "investments" that nobody ever heard of it would be wise to avoid them. Are they something you can walk into your bank and ask about? |
I checked into them with both a lawyer and 2 financial advisors. The lawyer had heard of them but knew nothing about them. One financial advisor knew nothing about them either. The second one was very familiar with them and said that they were not something that he would advise. He felt that they were set up in such a way that they made money for the companies but very little for the client. I took his advice and am staying away from them. However I am glad for the info. |

Understanding The Value In Medicare's Physician Payment Data Dump
Apr 14, 2014, 9:24 AM, Posted by Susan Dentzer
A 35-year battle is over and the taxpayers have won: We have the right to know how much physicians receive in Medicare dollars in exchange for providing our care. But now that the Centers for Medicare and Medicare government has released data on $77 billion in Medicare Part B payments to providers during 2012, what do we really know—or have—that we didn't have previously? Information alone isn't knowledge or, for that matter, insight.
For consumers, the slew of raw data ultimately may be useful if it can be packaged into applications that help them compare the way physicians practice—as the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology now proposes in a newly announced challenge. Private payers, such as insurers, may also find the Medicare data useful, as they can the information to better understand the practice patterns of providers they include in their networks.

Growing up, my parents made about the same amount of money, which wasn't all that much; we were solidly on the lower end of the middle class. As far as I was concerned, we were fine and when I would picture my life someday as an adult, I never imagined or aspired to make a significant amount of money, let alone to be rich. And when I reached the age where day-dreaming about my eventual romantic life became a regular pastime, I never considered that I could or would have anything different than the setup my parents had. My husband and I would contribute 50/50 to the household; it wasn't even a question.
Years later, as an independent single woman, I've of course realized that there are many ways to divide up responsibility in a household. I've also realized that my earning potential is beyond what I ever thought it could be, even as recently as five years ago. I am profoundly lucky. That, along with my status as a single 30-something with a strong desire for children, has made me think long and hard about how different my role as a hopeful wife and mother might end up being in comparison to what I had envisioned. Female-breadwinner households are the subject of Time's cover story this week, which examines how this trend (which is likely to be more common than male-breadwinner household in the next generation) has affected male and female relationships. The piece resonated with me because one of the things I have concluded is that, in the right situation, I would be happy to be the primary earner in my family. Keep reading »

About 10 years ago, some psychos actually went to the trouble of coding Pokemon battle simulators for the 1st gen games (in fact, they still exist) and one of the main strategies was to abuse Double Team - which every Pokemon can learn if it can use TMs. RPGamer had a pretty good Pokemon community at this point, and they instituted a ban on evasion moves for their tournaments which spread throughout the community.
The ban still exists to this day on wi-fi and in the equivalent simulators.

I find it funny how the backtrack devolved from Game discussion into, Which Pokemon we like/hate, and rage at Cynthia's garchomp.

Wasn't there something very similar to IV & EV training in the first ones?
At the least I recall that leveling through Rare candies didn't give as good stats, as leveling through battling (unless you also used those stat boosting items).
There was. The EV and IV systems were, however, completely overhauled for the third generation. I believe IVs were referred to as DVs, or Dynamic Values in the second generation.
And Rare Candies still do not give as much as much in the way of good stats in the newer generations, though it's a bit more complicated. With Rare Candies, no EV are given, so if you only level up a Pokemon by giving if candies, it will have considerably lower stats that one that battles to level-up. However, if a Pokemon recieves all possible EVs (every Pokemon can recieve a maximum of 510 EVs, and up to 255 to a single stat), then they can be given Rare Candies with no problems.

" I think this is why aging makes humans die! "
The easiest way to think of the gen 1/2 systems is that IV/DV/whathaveyou went 0-15 instead of 0-31, there was only 4 that weren't fixed (1 for both Special stats and HP was determined by the other 4), and every stat could have 255 in EVs.

I would like to apologize for slighting the Delaz fleet, who actually accomplished something with a lot inside help, gen 2 team rocket is closer to those loser zeon remnants in africa who only managed to make Judau and the junkyard gang look even lamer by pwning them obsolete suits.

I didn't think the Gundam Exia facepalm was appropriate.
Following on from defeating the (Johto) Elite Four during the recording, I've spent a little time exploring the Gen IV version of Kanto. Brings back so many good memories from long ago.
Still haven't been able to catch that damn Snorlax outside Vermillion City, though.

Only one thing to say about Pokemon that hasn't been said. It's made for some of the more.... Interesting Rule 34 entries. Super-busty versions of Misty and the other Poke-girls aside, one pic always stuck in my mind, that of what I believe to be an Ekans slithering out of a certain part of Jessie's anatomy... I'll leave you all to fill in the details.

I really need to amass a collection of those.
Man, I haven't played a Pokemon game way back since Blue. I had done about 2 or 3 gyms and had a pretty good team going until I made the mistake of lending my Gameboy to another kid in my class so he could play Tetris during smoe free time we had in school, and instead he started up a new game with a protagonist named Papi Chulo and saved over my file... Haven't played Pokemon ever since. I did play the card game a few times with my little brother when he was into it.
And man, the second song you played, the one about Johto was super catchy.
Yeah, always a good idea to never lend out your gameboy while playing Pokemon. Or at least put the cartridge in a hard-to-find place.
That being said, you're probably a perfect candidate to play one of the newer Pokemon games. Since they don't change much, it's somewhat easy to get burnt out if you play every generation. Having had some time away from it as you have, you'd probably be better able to appreciate the newer games.

Bramah, Joseph
Bramah, Joseph
biographical name(born April 13, 1748, Stainborough, Yorkshire, Eng.died Dec. 9, 1814, London) British engineer and inventor. Originally a cabinetmaker, Bramah in 1784 devised a pick-proof lock, which defied all efforts for 67 years. Since the success of his locks depended on their complexity, they could be produced in quantity only after the creation of a set of well-designed and precisely engineered machine tools, for which he hired a brilliant young blacksmith, Henry Maudslay. Their prototype machines were essential to the founding of the machine-tool industry. Bramah's hydraulic press found many industrial uses and led to the development of hydraulic machinery.

In this episode of My Offseason Was a Failure, Jon Daniels has said that while he did not mean to throw Josh Hamilton under the bus by saying he hated him, this offseason has been sort of lousy. "Disappointing," was the word he used, I think, but sort of lousy works too. In Jon Daniels We Still trust, though, so I'm just hoping they can figure out how to make it a bit less lousy, because there are all sorts of great people still on the market and the team's already pretty rad. Things will be fine.
In other (old) news, Eugenio Velez signed with the Blue Jays, which keeps them solidly in the spot of the smartest big spenders this offseason. I like these Blue Jays, I like them a lot. The AL East just got a lot more interesting – even more interesting than the Orioles totally being good, which was pretty interesting to begin with.
Trivia, y'all: Eugenio Velez started his career in Toronto back in 2001 but they weren't that into him and the Giants claimed him in the Rule 5 draft a few years later.
Apparently they're into him again, now? Let's Get Back… Together, as the Giants slogan said.
The A's are making moves because while all the other ordinary teams made moves at the Winter Meetings the A's donotliketheWinterMeetingsatall. So they signed Hiroyuki Nakajima who said, in one of the best presser openings ever, that we could just call him Hiro. Other hilarious thing about this press conference was Billy Beane's repeated emphasis on the fact that they were in on this and serious about this even though the media was not covering it Billy Beane was, like, a hipster before there were hipsters. He is also sexy and cool. Goes without saying.
In Giants news, Tim Lincecum may have cut his hair. Except I don't think that guy looks like Tim Lincecum at all. Also, no one was this interested when I cut my hair.

Baseball teams do not care about their fans. I came to this realization today.
And I don't say this for the reasons you think – it's not the jawdropping prices on tickets and water (HUMAN NECESSITY, by the way) or the fact that they trade everyone's favorite players or only give away their junky bobbleheads to a completely arbitrary number of people just so they can watch us get trampled/kill ourselves after all that time surrounded by raw and horrifying humanity.
No. I'm not talking about any of that. Although on second thought…
Still no. I'm talking about the alarming way that they all do things on the same day in the offseason. Weeks (okay, it's actually days, but it's the offseason and we're baseball fans and it feels like weeks) go by with nothing happening except for the odd rumor about a player you may or may not have heard of going to a team you may or may not have heard of. I am partially kidding and partially looking at you, Indians.
And then suddenly they all decide on one day they're going to tear up the World Wide Web and make all their moves and make their fans' heads spontaneously combust.
Ahem. Josh Hamilton signed with the Angels today much to his surprise and her surprise and meanwhile, the Giants were all, LOL, that was just a joke, of course we want Andres Torres. And they signed him again. We fans responded, "Yes, duh, we were wondering what getting rid of him was about. Glad it was a joke. LOL or whatever."
While I'm happy about the Torres move because hell, how could you not be, I am really hating the world because of the Josh Hamilton thing. Baseballisabusiness, but signing within the division is not a nice move under the best of circumstances, which are not Josh Hamilton's, and if what the Rangers are saying is true, that Hamilton didn't call them until the deal was all inked, then that doubly does not make Hamilton look very good. I am unusually angry at him.
I think Hamilton is an extraordinary player, but I think the Rangers will be all right without him. Likewise, I don't think either of the cash-happy LA teams will finish in first place next season. Not even second place, if you peek in my crystal ball. The Rangers are in a very interesting position right now and I think they will certainly make some significant moves either now or at the trade deadline, while in the NL West, the Giants are eying the Dodgers but pretty much staying put, but I am of the opinion that both teams will be just fine. In addition to being the new Moneyball, in a strange turn of events.
But I can say with certainty that everyone will do silly giveaways for the first 20,000 fans and sell $8 water. It's nice that some things never change.

Michael Young is a Phillie.
Oh, Despicable Me.
That was how I reacted. Michael Young was my unicorn in that he was like a fluffy stuffed animal and I was very attached to him and more specifically, attached to him as a Ranger. That man was a Ranger for a very long time. "How long, Obi Wan Kenobi?" Luke Skywalker might ask. "A very long time," Obi Wan would answer.
Now I get that baseballisabusinessMichaelYoungisstillabaseballplayertheRangershadtodoit and all of that, but I'm still sad. These made-over Rangers are going to take some time to get used to. (Mike Napoli in Boston red, what is up with that.) I wish I had Gru to take me to the amusement park to get a new Michael Young in a Rangers uniform.
I blame Hollywood for giving us kids false perceptions of beauty and false hopes about what happens when our stuffed unicorns are disintegrated.
Diamond Girl
p.s. Presumably Young had some say/a lot of say in where he landed, yes? Which would mean that he chose Philadelphia? But who would willingly choose to live in Philadelphia and be a Phillie? I bet he and Cliff Lee are going to be besties.

Hello, everyone! I spent the better part of today defrosting and cutting up frozen peas for my sick fish only for him to give me as near as someone without an eyebrow can to a quizzical eyebrow and be all, "I don't know what you're smoking, Emily, but there is no way." So I gave up on him and went to Starbucks for a peppermint mocha. He seems okay now. Still hasn't eaten the peas, though.
This little guy is a Giants fan, so I'd have to take care of him.
Also, the Winter Meetings start tomorrow, which means all is doubly well. For those of you who have never taken the time to read my bio a) do it now b) it helpfully informs innocent passersby that the Winter Meetings are my favorite part of the year. No joke. I mean, the World Series is pretty rad and all, but seriously, nothing is better than all the heads in baseball getting together to feud and make trades and stuff.
There's also the inherent hilarity of sending hundreds of media people to hang out in the lobby while the GMs hide out upstairs. It sounds like the opening to a joke, because… it kind of is.
Us Giants fans will be on the lookout for deals with Pagan and Scutaro, a potential extension on Posey and maybe one for Hunter Pence, although Sabes made it sound like that is only happening in yo dreams, yo. I don't reallyatall trust him, though, so I'll still be in the lookout for it.
Them Rangers are linked to pretty much every big name on the market, because that's just how JD rolls, so I honestly have no idea what direction they will go. But they will go one direction. One Direction. Get it, guys, get it?
The Josh Hamilton rumor mill is as busy as ever. My guess is he'll go to one of 30 teams, but who knows, could be wrong.
Happy Winter Meetings, everyone!

p.s. Stop talking about football, silly people. Hibernation is looking like an increasingly attractive option.

text: Just another random diet question I was wondering if anyone had any experience with. I like to buy whey protein tubs and make daily shakes because a friend of mine said it helped him build muscle and speed up his metabolism? I'm not sure how true that is but I just do it to make sure I'm getting extra protein as I have a lot of weight to lose and I'd also like to have some noticeable muscle mass when this is all said and done. So am I on the right path with this? I use 2 cups in a 16oz shake every morning with the mix and water. Is it worth my time or am I just blowing money? Assuming it is, does it matter what type I go with?

Pretty cool article on CNN.com about gamers and why the characteristics translate well to fitness. http://edition.cnn.com/2011/10/14/health/video-gamers-bodybuilders-fitocracy/index.html?hpt=hp_c2 As a gamer and a gym rat I see the appeal and am sure I am not alone.
Makes sense. Gamers often have obsessive compulsions at times. I know I do (as both a gamer and a workout fanatic). Cool article.
Hi LeafUF, Very informative article and thanks for sharing it with everyone. Before that I always thought games are great for mind only as they makes mind active and open.
Great article, Leaf. Same here, I love lifting but I also love my video games :grin: Not all of us gamers are scrawny, a lot of people are surprised to find out I usually play them, but they're fun and they can help you with certain things, like I would definitely say my hand-eye coordination and reaction timing has improved from playing games.
Dude, it has been rapid fire lately. I went from Infamous 2 at a leisurely pace to Arkham City which I am about to finish and move on to Uncharted 3 before I even get to Skyrim. Thankfully, I dont think I have any other games on my wish list until Mass Effect in March. So, I will be spending most of my gaming time with Skyrim. I am fortunate to have the schedule that allows me to work out in the morning and keep my afternoons and evenings free for other stuff.
If anyone is interested I just got into the fitocracy beta and it seems I have some invites. You can also try to get an invite through the Leangains site which is where I got mine. Seems like a cool site. After logging a few workouts I joined the Skyrim group, cant say many other fitness based sites would have that as a group.

Is there a situation in winter where a condensor unit's outside fan is supposed to be runing? Neighbor has two systems, one AC unit and one heat pump, but they don't know anything about how they work. The weather is freezing, we had some snow and ice, and the clanging of the ice chunks is noticeable. This apparently happens when the heat is turned on. Normal? Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The fan will run on HP's as part of the defrost cycle, usually near the end. |
- Posted by weedmeister (My Page) on Tue, Dec 8, 09 at 1:42
The outdoor condenser fan on a HP will run all the time when the heat is on, unless there is a low temperature cutoff. |
To clarify ... the condensor fan on a heat pump runs when in heating mode, same as it does when cooling in summertime. The condensor is actually functioning as an evaporator during heating mode. The fan typically turns OFF when defrosting, at which time it becomes a condensor again for the duration of the defrost period. |
Thank you, everyone. |

With Iron Man 3 less than a year away, the next phase of Marvel's cinematic universe is gearing up for kick-off, with several names being thrown around for some major post-Avengers roles.
The biggest rumor coming from a thus far reliable Twitter source claiming that Aragorn himself, Viggo Mortensen, is in talks to play a major role in next fall's Thor: The Dark World. While not explicitly stated, the source goes on to intimate that Mortensen would take on the role of Marvel's Sorcerer Supreme, Dr. Strange. Previously, Warrior's Joel Edgerton was reportedly being considered for the part.
Dr. Strange has long been rumored for the Marvel films. His introduction in The Dark World would make sense given the comic book history between the sorcerer and the Norse god, as well as the cosmic trajectory laid out in this summer's Avengers. And for those with keen eyes, a couple of Strange-centric clues strewn about the original Thor film make his appearance all the more likely.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Chocolate!
Facts about Chocolate
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Tortoiseshell
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Chocolate's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Chocolate is a wonderful energetic kitten looking for a family with lots of love.
As with all FOCAS kittens, Chocolate has been spayed, microchipped, is current on her vaccinations, and has tested negative for FeLV. This is all included in her $150 adoption fee.
For more information about Chocolate, please call 1 760 960-7293. If you're ready to meet Chocolate, she is located at the FOCAS adoption center inside of the Encinitas Petsmart located at 1034 No. El Camino Real, Encinitas, Ca. 92024. Our adoption hours are Monday-Friday 5-8 pm, Saturday and Sunday 12-3 pm and 5-7
Other Pets at Friends of County Animal Shelters - Encinitas
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Chocolate, a Encinitas Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Encinitas, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Encinitas.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Encinitas already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Encinitas breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Encinitas paves the way for another one to be saved.

Last night we had our first run through. We had a full compliment of people and the game is a lot of fun. We ran into one small snag with our dear keeper though.
Can the UncontrollableUrges keeper card be used to make a character with a shotgun shoot the other people?
Twelve threat later and the game is not as fun. The next round he hit us again four times. Finally the two gun wielders dropped thier guns and we all scattered around the board to avoid this.

This scent may be for men but it is AMAZING! Especially if you spritz it on at night, this one will indeed take you on an olfactory adventure - it's a feast for the senses as it really brings out imagery of taking a whimsical stroll underneath an ethereally moonlit night. I even got the bath gel and wow, it's gives off a really invigorating aroma. Much applause to the bright mind (and nose) behind the concoction of this scent!
Endymion is AMAZING!!! It is supposed to be for men, but this smells so good that I just don't care! I put it on, realized it was definitely for men, and then went on with my day. I kept smelling this amazing sweet, spicy smell. All day long I kept wondering what this smell was. Nope, it was my arm! Endymion may start off masculine, but it mellows out to the most blissful, soft, sweet, spiced scent. It smells like chai with milk on me :) :) :) mmmm delicious!!! As soon as i can afford to, I am buying the full size!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I wanted this for myself and I do wear a few men's scents, so I wasn't put off by the fact that it was developed as that. But lovely as it is, and I do love it, it is way too masculine for me to pull off without people asking me why I'm wearing men's cologne. I do love it and it will be great if I can get my SO to wear it, because it's fresh and aquatic (that darn bergamot) without being a watery modern aquatic, and it's warm and spicy and layered without being a clash of unmixable notes. Great scent, but not unisex.
I actually picked this out in the shop for myself (i like masculine fragrances) but after a few wears i felt it was a bit too strong for me to wear so i passed it onto SO who was a little funny about wearing a "girls perfume" until i told him it was for men....now he loves it & i love it on him. As another reviewer noted it is fruity and spicey but in a vague way - this is on top of a strong, blunt almost metallic/powdery base. It smells wonderfully masculine & manly.
The advertisements for Endymion present it as a study in contrasts, and led me to expect a fascinating yin-yang of alternating notes of briskness and richness, light and dark; what has been called a moiré effect. I think that would be a great idea, but it is not here. Endymion is a lovely scent of mild spice and somewhat rich amber. It is very smooth and luxurious and has a powdery dry-down. There is a kind of warm-night glow here, like a stroll in a moon-lit oriental garden at midnight. How appropriate for a scent named after a mythological character who fell in love with the moon goddess. This type of fragrance isnt my style, so I give it a neutral rating but recommend it to those who like that sort of thing.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Endymion is contrast: gentle and yet potent. Mandarin meets black pepper, bergamont meets amber, leather,musk and myrrh. Positive, negative = electricity!
When first applied this is such the fragrance for a man ... verrrrrry masculine. But after applying I forgot about it and about an hour later when I went back into my arm for another sniff it was ENTIRELY different and freaking AMAZING! It dries down into spices, cloves, amber, cool minty myrrh. Very wintery and sexxxxxy. Wow! it's GORGEOUS. I would love the man of my life to wear this but would only want to sniff after the first 10 minutes of choking masculinity. continued >>

This smells GREAT on my husband, a bit fruity and sweet but with the wood backround wich is a must for any fragrance I want to smell on him. he was apprehensive about letting the SA spray him, but as soon as she told him the name he was eager and willing. he said sure I want to try the demon perfume (LOL) he calls men fragrance perfume too! hehe
There is another review for Endymion which was not particularly keen on the scent. I feel differently about it, finding it truly beautiful and enticing. It makes me weak at the knees I must confess. It has a certain warmth and peppery character, but somehow clean and light at the same time. It alters to a mellow spiciness over time. Gorgeous.
Endymion, the subject of countless poems by the Romantics, was in Greek mythology a young handsome shepherd loved by Selene, the goddess of the Moon. Granted a boon from the gods, he asked Zeus for perpetual youth and immortality, and his wish was fulfilled in the form of eternal sleep.
Penhaligon's own tribute to Endymion is a not-so-ode-worthy lavander based, generic-men's-cologne scent.

The job of medical billing and coding is entirely to do with computer and technical detailing. It is primarily a desk job, where the processing of the administrative billing and accounting services are done. The load of the work depends on what kind of a medical billing company it is or just a consultant firm.The highest salaried medical billing and coding jobs involves working hours around 40 hours a week. Self training in case of medical billing and coding jobs may appear pretty confusing and complicated at times, when one is not sure what he/she is doing, although this being a very versatile job.
A formal training enables one to avoid such hurdles even in the times of crisis.A medical billing and coding professional has to be adept with both medical billing procedures and medical billing processes. The entire training process in quite extensive, if not expensive, where the training session covers sections like, basic anatomical details, claim forms and the process involved with that, EOBs, medical terminology and insurance terminology, ageing reports, coding basics and AR recovery, data entry and software and basic management and administration and so on and so forth.
A basic skill with numbers is required, while the job demands administrative specifications such as processing, submission of medical claims and reviewing along with interpersonal skills. One can also learn the details by tending seminars, workshops, education programs magazines and courses which are offered from various groups and software vendors.

Hey all,
My wife and I live in Center City, Philadelphia and for the most part, we've been winning the war on mice (using sonic traps and snap traps). We haven't actually seen a mouse in almost a year but last night one of them buggers got into our wall (our ceililng is also the roof of the apartment building). So I've got a few questions: 1) How the heck do I get it out?
Please help as I would very much like to actually sleep tonight. I've handled mice before (both alive and dead) so I far from fearful. It's more of a major pain in the butt then anything else. Thanks, - MT |

buy a snake and turn him loose in teh ceiling. he will get the mouse for you! |
Yeah see, I COULD do that but I used to raise a ball python. I'd feel horrible for the snake trapped in the wall. Besides, the snake could do more damage then the mouse. - MT |
- Posted by davidandkasie (My Page) on Thu, Mar 30, 06 at 9:37
i was joking. seriously though, the mouse got in some how or another and likely will be able to get out on it's own. the problem is he may not WANT to get out adn stay out. find where it got in and stuff some steel wool in the hole. he will die from starvation in a few days. as long as you have a few more weeks of cool weather, you shoul dnever even smell him. |

Carrie Anne isn't just the owner of Wet Dogz, she's also a proud pet owner with a pseudo zoo of her own. It's this deep love of animals that prompted her to start her own pet-care business. Here, clients can seek the expertise of certified groomers for services ranging from flea baths and haircuts to pet daycare services. The facility also houses a bakery with treats for pets.
At Scrub-A-Pup, everything you need to bathe your pooch stands at the ready: tubs and speed dryers, myriad shampoos and conditioners, and combs, brushes, and towels. Beyond the self-serve dog wash, its staff also pampers pups with grooming sessions that can include luxurious add-ons such as hot oil treatments or pad conditioning.
Due to improper training or seemingly aggressive appearances, some dog breeds have bad reputations. At Northeast K-9 Academy, however, the trained and dedicated staffers see past stereotypes and offer grooming, boarding, and training services to dogs regardless of their size, breed, or questionable musical tastes. Inside the three spacious indoor playrooms, pooches can explore, romp, and nap. Outside, a fenced-in stone play area provides dogs with fresh air and room to run while keeping their paws and coats clean.
Mocha's Pet Salon, named after the owner's dog, operates under the philosophy that pets should be groomed in a place that's as relaxing and stress-free as home. The salon's team strives to build a cozy environment where pooches feel comfortable while they're getting bathed, trimmed, cleaned, and pampered with oatmeal treatments. As a result, dogs of all shapes and sizes prance out of the salon's two locations looking, feeling, and smelling like a million bucks.
This specialized kitty and doggie depot is a one-stop shop for all pet needs, including standard toys and treats, and an impressive selection of unusual merchandise. The stocked shelves include more than 200 stylish collars (many for $19.99), lovely leads ($19.99), and decorative bowls for dogs and cats (starting at $10.99).
The Barking Lot's doggy-sitters understand that canine parents like to check in on their pups throughout the day. Six days a week, they post Facebook photos of day-care dogs romping around the 8,000-square-foot, climate-controlled playground. Three days a week, they post YouTube videos of especially exciting moments, such as a game of chase in the large dog play area or a round of Red Rover in the small pooch zone. Dogs who spend the night snuggle into a comfortable kennel outfitted in fleecy bedding. Calming music plays as pooches snooze, and optional play times, cuddling, and even bedtime stories can keep pups from feeling homesick.
In addition to providing a fun place to play and spend the night, pet- care techs ensure pets are safe: rubber floors cushion joints, and workers are certified in pet first aid and CPR. Select staffers also use their canine knowledge to teach training classes or groom pups and cats from nose to tail.

Down these mean streets a man must waddle... One of the earliest private eyes, Octavus Roy Cohen's JIM HANVEY was already appearing in The Saturday Evening Post a year before Three Gun Terry, although his style tended to run more to frighteningly folksy narratives about con men and scam artists and their gullible rich victims, not hard-boiled tales of urban knights out to set the world right, armed only with a gun and a personal code of honour. Nonetheless, the Hanvey stories can be quite fun, if you have a high tolerance for corn pone. Jim's an intriguing combination of Jed Clampett and Sam Spade, part-conman, and full-time good ol' boy. He's fat, slow-moving, has fishy eyes, smokes nasty little black cigars, wears cheap, shabby clothes that always seem to be on the point of bursting and is constantly fiddling with a gold toothpick he carries on a chain around his neck, a gift from a criminal he helped convict. He not only looks like a cow and -- at first glance --apparently has the intelligence of one, too. But he's actually more like a sort of backwoods Nero Wolfe, a shrewd, highly-regarded detective and the "terror of crooks from coast to coast," respected by both the law and often, the lawless, managing to maintain good relationships with more than one lawbreaker he's had tossed in the can. Indeed, one character complains that he has more friends on the wrong side of the law than in legitimate circles. Hanvey made most of his early appearances in short stories in The Saturday Evening Post, where much of author Octavus Roy Cohen's other work was also published. He was also featured in one feature film, the aptly titled Jim Hanvey, Detective, in 1937. Cohen created a few other detectives: David Carroll and one of the first black eyes, Florian Slappey, although the Florian stories, although arguably even more popular than those featuring Hanvey, are more famous now for their unflattering and offensive portrayal of blacks than their historical significance. UNDER OATH
Report respectfully submitted by Kevin Burton Smith. The still is from the 1937 Republic release, Jim Hanvey, Detective, starring Guy Kibbee as Hanvey.

Is one of your New Year's Resolutions for 2013 to help people and give back to your community? Would you like to find something horse related? Well, look no further. AQHA Amateur exhibitor, Sara Dalzell of Seattle, Washington has taken the guesswork out of helping horsemen in need.
"This coming year at AQHA shows I will be collecting any horse equipment that you don't need or use, to send to the Mthatha Horse Rehabilitation and Rescue Centre in South Africa," says Dalzell, who is a top competitor and Congress winner on the AQHA show circuit. "They do amazing work helping rural horse owners maintain their horses' wellness by providing them with functional and well-fitting equipment."
There are many riders in the rural areas of South Africa who use horses on a daily basis for transportation and for checking livestock. Most of the local Xhosa horseman love their horses, but lack the education and knowledge of how to care and look after their trusted friends. This leads to poorly fitting tack, saddle sores and often ignorant neglect. This non-profit is providing an invaluable life line for these working horses by educating and providing dipping, deworming and assistance with medical care.
"After I did some work with a project in India in 2009 that provided vet care to work animals in rural communities, I learned the value of work animals to the communities that rely on them," Dalzell states. "They cherish their animals because they know that they provide a living and I think we can all learn to love and care for our animals with the dedication they do. Sometimes, however, their means to care for the animals are lacking. I know that we horse people seem to accumulate an abundance of horse items, and I really wanted to find a way to make use of our 'throw aways'.
Dalzell, who shows RL Rumbleman under the guidance of Shannon McCulloch, wants everyone to gather up their old equipment and tack including: saddle pads, saddles, halters, bits, and headstalls. Dalzell will be at Sun Circuit in Scottsdale, so please bring any equipment there with her goal to send the first shipment out after the show! You may also email Sara at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information. If you would like to mail equipment to her home, the address is shown below:

Auberge du Soleil Restaurant
Rutherford, CA, 94573, United States
A Mediterranean influence dominates the 120-seat formal dining area within the larger Auberge du Soleil Resort. A yellow and amber color scheme with exposed wood accents, floral-printed tablecloths, and an indoor fireplace add to the dining room, while the panoramic view of the Napa Valley floor draws customers to the tables on the balcony. Executive chef Robert Curry, formerly of Domain Chandon, prepares signatures like a lobe of foie gras on pain perdu (French toast) with poached pears, and a pan-roasted duck breast with quince and chestnuts. The wine list is considered the largest in Napa, with over 1,500 selections.
Insider Tip:
During daylight hours, the view is more distinguishable and the menu can be ordered à la carte, as opposed to the pre-fixe only menu during dinner.

How and When to Apply Lime | Lawn & Grass Health
Posted By Fred On April 12, 2010 @ 6:30 am In Outdoor | 11 Comments
We're well into the Spring season here in central Maryland, and we're getting focused on our lawns. In the past, we've told you about targeting lawn weeds [1] and when to apply weed and feed [2], how to prevent crabgrass [3], and how to choose a garden spreader [4] that's right for your needs.
Up this week: lime, and specifically: why, how, and when to apply lime to your lawn.
If your lawn is yellow, has dead spots, or just lacks a uniform, green luster, lime may be right for you. Read on for details.
Lime (a.k.a. Garden Lime or Yard Lime) is pulverized limestone. The primary active ingredient is calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Most liming agents will be at least 95% calcium carbonate, unless you are purchasing lime combined with another product, such as a fertilizer (this is unusual).
You should apply lime to a yard that has a low pH (a.k.a. acidic). Grass will struggle to grow in acidic soil, and lime raises the pH of the soil to a level more suited to grasses (and less suited to, say, mosses, which can thrive in more acidic soils). As a positive side effect, lime also provides calcium to plants, a key nutrient for growth.
Acidity in lawns can be caused by many things. The soil in your area can be naturally acidic. Some fertilizers will lower the pH in a lawn. And, most notably in deciduous forests, decaying oak leaves will raise the acidity of the lawn each Fall.
In order to determine how much lime to apply to your lawn, you'll need either a soil test kit, or you'll need to call a professional. In some areas the local agricultural school will do a soil test for you (Todd @ Home Construction Improvement has an article on this one [5]). We recommend not spreading lime unless you're certain your lawn requires it, as highly alkaline soil is no better than an acidic soil for growing grass.
Once you know your lawn's pH, you can consult the bag of lime for the proper amount that should be spread to bring up the pH to the recommend level (between 6.5 and 7.0).
Lime can be applied year round. We recommend applying it in the early spring, and then again mid-Summer if a test shows it is warranted. Moderation is key, as over-liming a yard will product negative results due to high alkalinity.
Most granule-type limes (called fast-acting limes) will be absorbed into the soil with the first 1/4 inch rain fall. Larger limes can talk longer to dissolve and seep into the lawn and may take several rainfalls or watering applications [6] to fully absorb.
Lime can be applied along with a fertilizer or week killer and will not negatively impact the effectiveness of these products.
Any type of garden spreader [4] works great for applying lime. We prefer a broadcast spreader to gain even coverage, but a side-effect of this type of spreader is that it's harder to control next to flower beds.
When applying lime, this is less of a concern since most flowers will also thrive in a more balanced soil, but can be a concern for other products like weed and feed.
Lime can be purchased at any local nursery, and is available at most of the big box stores, including Home Depot and Lowes. Expect to pay around $20-25 / bag at the big boxes, which will typically cover 5000 square feet for a moderately acidic lawn. Lime will also be applied by professionals if you decide to choose a lawn service. Our pal Amy over at GreenGardenista offers some excellent advice on lawn service [7] pros and cons and advice on choosing one at that link.

Walt Disney Concert Hall
Los Angeles, CA, 90012, United States
Rising dramatically over downtown Los Angeles, the colossal stainless steel curves that comprise the exterior of this world-renowned concert hall create an immediate and powerful impression. Endowed by Lillian Disney and designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Frank Gehry, the Walt Disney Concert Hall opened in 2003 as the fourth hall of the Los Angeles Music Center, home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Los Angeles Master Chorale. Built to look and feel like the hull of a ship, the concert hall features a radically advanced acoustical design and a hardwood-paneled auditorium that houses an enormous Gehry-designed concert organ.
Insider Tip:
By night, catch unbeatable views of L.A.'s illuminated skyline from the Disney Hall's rooftop.
