The Walking Dead
Debatable. To be honest I actually think that Kenny is on of the most charismatic WD characters. But he has quite a lot of fuck-ups: Larry (you know what I mean...), Not helping Shawn (OK I helped him save Duck but could he just help me save Shawn after that and don't run away), If you don't help him with Larry you will have to deal with zombies by yourself in ep3 while he will stay and do NOTHING despite having a pistol, he tries to kill Molly despite being told not to, snapping on Ben in Crawford which could get the whole group killed (though if it wasn't for Ben's GENIUS behavior...), Wanting Lee to kill Ben. The end of ep4 was a different song after all I did for Katjaa and Duck and agreeing with him almost everytime except Larry and Ben he dares to imply that I've been a bad friend and I would've betrayed him when I have the chance. Ironically in the end he redeemed himself by trying to save Ben... Ben... The dude who got his family killed and he nearly died trying to save the boy who ruined his life. So basically you can consider him an asshole or a good guy but you can't deny that he's a true badass.
I don't have problems with Kenny as long as he won't try to get Clementine in some kind of boat number2 adventure shit
Well, yeah but on one side if the stories about Wellington are actually true I would at least give it a shot but from the other side I have my doubts ironically just after kenny told his plan. I mean I'm sure most of us remember how the story with a boat ended: a lot of people died for NOTHING because Vernon's group stole it. I didn't like the boat idea from the start. I mean where would they go anyway? Plus it was a fishing boat not a fucking tanker they wouldn't make it far. And what if they ran out of fuel or the battery died along the way? It would be a death trap with no escape. After that I don't trust Kenny's ideas anymore. Still I don't know about Wellington. Like I said sometimes Kenny makes dumb decisions but Christa was also going to Wellington and Christa is anything but dumb. I guess that we'll know what comes out of it in the next episodes.
I don't get why people hate Luke. Sure he dropped Clem but not only was that when he hardly knew her but he also thought she was bitten, and that bite wasn't too convincing. People have done worse things to Clem than dropping her.
Juice_Box , I think that people don't like him for 3 reasons:
I like him, but the Kenny and Cluke thing makes people want to hate him, a bit understandable.
I don't see the big deal. Kenny got mad at Clementine once (S1), for no reason, much like how it is with Luke but did we start to hate Clementine? No. As far as the cluke ship... it's not like it's his fault. It's not even telltale's fault, it's the fault of those who are allowing pedophilia dream ships with Clem. I think they should just come up with a better reason to hate him if they are going to proceed to.
And i'm not bashing on you because those reasons are true but i'm just saying, they need to wake the fuck up.
Yeah :s but you know that Kenny has a big group of fans and seeing Luke disagreeing with Kenny it's like " If you hurt Kenny, i'll hurt you ". (not saying that all the fans do that, but some of them do)
Yeah... Kenny fans go a little over board... they have a boat full of craziness... sorry, bad joke.
I wasn't even aware a lot of people did hate Luke, my First thread on this forum was about how I didn't know if he could be trusted but I certainly don't hate Luke.
I agree. I mean he is sketchy but I don't hate him. If it weren't for the fact that it seems like he's not telling Clementine everything, he'd be my 3rd or 4th favorite character.
Maybe he'll make up for it in Episode 3 or at least tell Clem what the hell is going on.
If he saves Clem he will gain my respect but if he tries to hurt Clem in anyway, He getting the Saltlick!
And if he ends up doing what the clukers dream of... he will end up with his head on a stick.
Don't be ridiculous :P I don't know if he can be trusted but a pedophile is the last thing Luke is. I actually knew a pedophile when I was a child but we didn't find out about it till I was in my early 20s, the reason i'm mentioning this is I now know a pedo when I see one and Luke isn't it.
I've seen some pedophiles too. In fact there's one that's always talking to this little 11 year old girl (a sister to one of my friends) I know and I told her to stay away from the guy and Luke seems to be nothing like him or any other pedophiles i've seen but telltale could turn it into that...
Yep. Clearly, Clukers haven't though... if they were to, they wouldn't be supporting Cluke at the moment.
I dunno man, the pedophile I knew was my uncle and he was the stereotype, fat, big ugly glasses, long hair, never washed, house was a pig stye. Thankfully we don't have anything to do with the guy anymore.
Hey don't be sorry, i'm not. He spent 3 years in jail for having kiddy porn on his computer and now his family wont speak to him, he is getting everything he deserves.
I do have to say though, it putts a much darker spin on photos he took of me and my brother when we were children, I don't want to think about this anymore XD
Hey i'm the one who is sorry, i'm not fishing for sympathy I was just explaining my perspective XD
This may also explain why I argue with Cluk4Life and Muhab so much, thankfully Muhab is banned.
You shouldn't see it as fishing for sympathy. Even if it was you deserve a bit of sympathy from people.
Asshole...dropping Clem. I would be a little scared, but that cowardly bastard tossed her on the floor. But other then that, he's alright with me, definitely not my least favorite character.
Yes, he is a bit of a coward but I don't think the cabin group even knows much about zombies... I honestly doubt that they've seen how it's not just the bite, that you come back no matter how you die. Although I am pissed at Carlos because if you try to get the most information possible out of the scene where you can listen to their conversation, Carlos says that without treatment Clementine would die, if it were a dog bite. Luke says that it wasn't right (or something like that) to just let her die but everyone else was perfectly ok with letting little Clem-Clem turn. Fucking assholes they are.
That's not what I was saying. My main point was -Luke says that it wasn't right (or something like that) to just let her die but everyone else was perfectly ok with letting little Clem-Clem turn.-
Luke is a coward who dropped Clementine and ran away when everyone got captured. Kenny the hero stuck around and took Carver head on! Kenny ftw!
How do you know? For all we know, Kenny could have killed him. I don't actually believed that happened but if you're allowed to throw out theories that don't make sense, so can I.
Christa has always annoyed me, she seems like the bossy type and such. Sarita is just Kenny's poor choice in women again, he didn't learn from Katjaa. She annoyed me almost instantly.
Rigtail... i agree with you on Christa. I always found her to be an annoying character. I don't have any problem with Sarita yet. I think Sarah is another least favorite character so far.
Christa is great. She took care of Clem for two whole years and then some. That's enough for me to respect her. Also, just because she was suspicious of Lee in episode 3, doesn't mean she's bossy. Ok, maybe in episode 6, but nothing else. And I get the feeling that tune is going to change real fuckin quick.
Troy (he's one of carver's men by the way). I just don't know why I hate him but he hasn't said a damn word which just pisses me off, not sure why.
The Walking Dead - The Walking Dead: Season 2 - Episode 3: In Harm's Way
Always the Quiet Ones - Committed lacreny.
That's fine. Salt licks only work on targets that are stationary and can't defend themselves. The only ones Kenny can actually kill. OOOHHHH
That was uncalled for. But lol.
Michelle. Oh, and I don't hate Carver:). At least not in the way most of the people do.
Of the main cast? Well, my one may be a bit controversial... but it's Carlos.
Why? Well for one he wasn't able to tell the difference between a dog bite and a Walker bite (which I still think the bite was very much obviously NOT human afflicted since the wound on Clem's arm is too straightened) and then lock Clementine in a shed. which was a horrible thing to do. Yes we still don't know his history with Carver. But to lock Clem in a shed where she would have likely had died if she didn't patch herself up is horrendous. Oh, and asking how big the "Little house" was. Even though Clem literally said how big it was there. And finally, having no idea how to turn off a windmill but when the eleven year old volunteered he put full trust in her.
Seriously I have no idea what Telltale are doing with this character. He's supposed to be a Doctor, but to me he looks like the idiot of the group. Sorry guys, but that's just how I see him.
Also, he's underused as hell. Back in All That Remains I was looking forward to future interactions with him, trying to convince him Sarah needed to grow up, or simply having him as some kind of foil for Clementine's character development ala Larry, just less... extreme. Two episodes in, and I can count our "talks" with him with one hand and the interesting moments with less fingers.
(which I still think the bite was very much obviously NOT human afflicted since the wound on Clem's arm is too straightened)
The depiction of the dog bite in the game doesn't even look like a dog bite, unless perhaps it bit her sideways, but it didnt.
Throwing her in the shed
I agree. What a dick.
Oh, and asking how big the "Little house" was.
I live in a small house by most accounts, but it's big enough for the group to stay in for awhile. Which is what he was hinting at, my guess.
And finally, having no idea how to turn off a windmill but when the eleven year old volunteered he put full trust in her.
This isn't his fault. It's bad writing. But it's ok because the genius users of the forum have fixed this ridiculous hole. Clem's father was an engineer, so he talked about the machinery he worked on. Lucky for them, at least one of them was a wind turbine! She told them about this on the 5 day wall that we completely missed.
Winston. All the "Are you fucking kidding me?!" jokes aside, one of the death animations showed that he was more than willing to shoot a little girl in the face for no reason at all. Fuck that guy.
Wow, I didn't know that could happen.
"Hmm, we gotta go and the kid won't cooperate, BETTER SHOOT HER IN THE FACE."
What an asshole...
I still can't figure out what he says right before he shoots. I don't know why but it's really important to me O___O I can't sleep until I know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I believe he says "Gladly." As in "Yes, I will gladly 'finish' this small child to make our getaway a bit smoother, fellow sociopathic scavenger."
Have we met any full-time scavengers who aren't colossal pricks? Molly, Nate, Winston, nope.
She was kind of a jerk though. Still felt bad when I accidentally shot her that one time. D:
How so? I found her confident, but never thought of her as a jerk.
And sooo did I. Haha. Couldn't aim for shit with all that pressure on me!
She's a combative smartass who doesn't play well with others. Kinda gets redeemed at the end, but then she just went and disappeared.
From what I heard, people either liked her character or they didn't.
You should have brought Clem-Clem along! If you do Clemmy shoots the zombie, like a bad ass... If that's the scene you're talking about...
Meh, left her with my pistol to see what would happen. Turns out Crawford just went FUBAR quicker. And then I had to fess up to what happened to Molly AND Ben. No wonder she ran away after that. Lee must've felt like a complete monster after that, I know I sure did!
If you bring her she also asks if she gets a vote on Ben and then if you say yes she says something like "Ben's nice. He's my friend. We don't leave friends behind. That's my vote." Which is the only reason I didn't let Ben die, to be honest. Can't have Clem-Clem being mad at me.
I don't know why everyone does like Ben, I don't hate him but by no stretch of the imagination do I like him.
Not much. I felt bad for him. I mean, if it were to really happen, I wouldn't hesitate on the decision. I would instantly pull him up, if I could. He didn't have to die, in fact, telltale said that the choice was to see if people playing are anything like those in crawford.
Rofl yep that sounds exactly like what happened to me, I was fed up with Ben on my first playthrough and I just didn't want him to be around anymore. I would have voted to kick Ben out of the group but because of Clem I voted to keep him in the group, I also would have dropped him but I couldn't do that either.
Exactly the same here. My play when I brought Clem I was like "Ben needs to live!"and the one where I didn't I was like "Peace, Shitbird!"
Yeah, that's why I brought her along every other time and I'm always happy when I do. From a purely pragmatic viewpoint, I would drop Ben in a second, so I always bring Clem along in order to talk Lee out of it. NO WAY I would drop him with a kid right there. She wouldn't understand the reasoning for it.
Yeah. But only because I wanted information from him and I thought the water would help. If there were an option to extort some information from him by withholding the water, I'd take it.
I wish Telltale would release some images of the episode already! We're becoming restless. goes to grab my Winchester

The company I work for is a wooden packaging company. We recently purchased Inventor to open large file models from John Deere to design a wooden pallet/crate to package the part. Basically, what I am asking for help on is to kind of 'get started'. I know how to pull in files, but I am just trying to figure out how to design packaging around this existing model. If there is a video out there to kind of show me how to do this, or if there are any suggestions I am open to everything.
Thank you!
I would start a new assembly, bring in the John-Deer model, start a new assembly within the main assembly for your pallet.
This will help, but you really should look at proper training, Inventor is a true professional grade (upsets the Ford people) software and proper training will help you get the most out of the software.
You may want to look at structuring your Project File to treat the directory that you place the J-D models in as a Library. This will protect the models from any un-intentional modification
Link: http://home.pct.edu/~jmather/AU2006/MA13-3%20Mathe
Unless the packaging is complex assembly (which I would guess not the case) I would do as Multi-body Solids in a single part file rather than try to do in the assembly environment.
One technique would be to bring the John Deere model into a part file as a Composite Surface body and then using Multi-body Solids techniques design the packaging around the surface body. Then push out the individual components with the Make Components or Make Parts on the Manage tab.
I taught myself Cad, so I thought I might be able to do the same with inventor, but obviously inventor is a little more complex. Thanks for the link and your suggestion, this should get me started.
I should have mentioned that we actuaclly purchased the Product Design Suite. So when I open a file in inventor, i clicked on Edit Form, which then opened Inventor Fusion. I then can sketch my packaging around the model and then pull it back in inventor.
Hi calhoung,
There are many ways to do this kind of thing, but you'll want to think about what the end goal is (re-using parts, obtaining a parts list, etc.)
Here's one method that I would recommend you explore using the Frame Generator:
As others have mentioned this involves a lot of different tools in Inventor and so some understanding of how Inventor works will be needed first off. You'll also likely want to create a custom "lumber" frame generator library to use standard sizes, etc. so that you can output a parts list.
Some youtube links that might help with this subject:
I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,

Hey Curtis,
I tried the frame generator and I really like how I can make specific libraries. I obviously need to get some training so I have a little more knowledge about this program, but I was wondering if there is a way that I can just insert something out of the library and type in a length and use it wherever I want as opposed to having to select a line first?
Thanks for your help!
Hi calhoung,
You can use the Place from Content Center button to do this , assuming you have the Content Center libraries installed. You can do this two different ways:
Once in there, you can select from the library categories:
Upon placement of structural shapes you can specify the length:

Today it was jamiies First Time Audition. She was a little nervous but she definitely wanted to do this. To get things started we had her take some of her clothes off and play with herself a bit. After this we had Jmac come out really get the party started. This girl did pretty well on her first time and I think she may go far in the biz.

Feb 21, 2013 10:45 AM by Associated Press
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - A new report says California will receive a larger share of a previously announced settlement with the nation's major mortgage lenders, allowing it to help more troubled homeowners.
The state is expected to get at least $20.6 billion, roughly $2 billion more than projected when the settlement with the five largest banks was announced a year ago.
Thursday's report, released by the national Office of Mortgage Settlement Oversight, says the settlement is helping about 175,000 California borrowers.
Nearly 100,000 of them are getting reductions in the amount they owe on their home loans or an outright forgiveness of their loans.
Most of the rest of the money is going to about a third of the borrowers who completed short sales or deeds in lieu of foreclosure.

Social Funds: Exploring New Frontiers SeriesSession IIINovember 16th, 2005
The objective of the workshop was to provide guidance to World Bank staff on how income generating activities can be financed in the Bank context, in particular within Social Funds and projects using a CDD approach. Using participatory methods, the workshop explored the pros and cons of grant financing vs. loan financing. For situations where grant financing is most suitable, some lessons of experience were presented and discussed. For situations where loan financing is most suitable, the workshop covered ways that access to financial services can be established, particularly in remote rural areas where there are no formal financial institutions or MFIs. The workshop also included ways to combine grants and loans.

Standard Form of Linear Equations - Problem 1
The standard form of a linear equation is Ax+By=C. To change an equation written in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b) to standard form, you must get the x and y on the same side of the equal sign and the constant on the other side. Use inverse operations to move terms.
Here I have an equation that's given to us in slope intercept form. Slope intercept form is useful for graphing, but this problem wants us to turn it into standard from. It's really important that you're able to work between the three different forms of equations of lines.
So if I want to get this into standard form, that means I want it to look like some number times x, plus some number times y is equal to some constant. That's my goal. So I need to get both the xs, and ys on the same side on the equals. Then the regular old number which we call a constant should be by itself on the right hand side.
So let's see. This x needs to move over there. I'm going to subtract 2x from both sides, so now I have -2x plus y equals -4. Let's check and see if we have it. We have a coefficient times x, plus a coefficient times y. There isn't anything written there, but you can think of that coefficient as 1. I'm going to write it there in dashy lines. You don't have to write the 1, but it's implied that there is 1y, so that's okay. Then it's equal to my constant c. I'm all done.
That's an equation that's the exact same as that equation, only this one is written in standard form.

Sarah married Bill Galletta, a local farmer, who, with his brother began the Atlantic Blueberry Company. The company is now the largest blueberry producer in the world. Sarah often helped on the farm and enjoyed working alongside her husband. Over the years, she met and became friendly with many high school students who came to work on the farm and in the blueberry packing houses during the summer. The students, who became close to Mrs. Galletta, soon started calling her, "Aunt Sarah."
As the young wife of a blueberry farmer, Sarah had many luscious Pinelands Blueberries on hand and could experiment with recipes featuring the fruit. She found that with her children and others about, there was always someone waiting to taste the new creations. We hope you enjoy "Aunt Sarah's" recipe that has been a Galletta family tradition for years.
4 cups blueberries 1 cup sugar 3 tbsp. corn starch 1/2 tsp. cinnamon 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 cup water 1 tbsp. butter
In a saucepan mix ingredients except butter. Cook over medium heat stirring occasionally, until thick. Stir in butter and let cool.
4 tbsp. butter 4 tbsp. sugar 1 egg 1 cup flour 1/2 tsp. baking powder pinch of salt
Mix ingredients into a ball. Roll out and put into pizza pan. Bake 325-350 degrees for 15 minutes.
8 oz. cream cheese 2 eggs 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp. vanilla 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
Blend cream cheese, eggs, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Add nuts, and pour into half-baked crust. Return to oven for 13-15 minutes or until filling is set. Cool, pour topping over.

...is disgusting!
And it isn't even as bad as last year. My garden never really dried out: when I pulled out last years tomato stakes last week, the bottom few inches were mucky. And now the soil is cold and the veg garden is filling up with water in the walkways. Someone put a new house up next door too, and the drainage is worse now. Should I raise my beds even higher? The compost pile is a wimpy 60ş, air temp 42ş. It was still frozen a couple weeks ago. The fox out back is bold, she must be hungry. The racoon too, out in the daylight(not rabid) looking for food for her litter. My peas, spinach, lettuce, chard, kale and mesclun are up. My tomatoes are whining in their flats. Wish I had a greenhouse. I guess I am whining too! I am so glad I planted lots of pansies!! Did anyone lose anything? Southern NE got hit badly. But where I am, we had enough snow cover to get us through those extraordinary winter extremes. I lost a clematis, and my new buddleia. I lost a rose. But I always lose a rose in the front yard. Never again will I plant one there. Madame Hardy, though, has lived up to her name in a more sheltered spot, and would be very happy if only it was a little warmer. I know, it was all my fault. I put away my xc skis in the first week of April, and look what happened!! |

I do have a greenhouse and I'm still whining. I've never had to have the heat on during the day in mid May. It's usually off for the season in early May. My peas in the hoop house will blossom soon but the ones outdoor are probably rotting in the ground. The greens are all up and the onions don't seem to mind this cold. I lost the top 3' of a rose bush. I looked at it out the window today and noticed green shoots coming from the bottom so it's not dead. My husband and daughter just spent four days on the Allagash. Last week - high 80°'s. This week - snow yesterday morning. When I talked to them a couple of hours ago they'd had enough camping and were ready to get home to a warm house. |
Yes we had a nice couple weeks where I actually wished for rain, and now look what happened. Nonstop rain for 48 hours and cold too. I had a greenhouse and haven't even put my tomatoes and peppers out there yet, was going to this week but then it got too cold. |
I agree---this weather is getting to be very annoying! I just checked the forecast--frost warning tonight for my area [SOB]. I did lose a couple of delphiniums and one climbing rose which was really marginal for my zone. Everything else seems to have survived. |

Mercury Morris: Roger Goodell Needs to Take a Walk…
Mercury Morris has recently been discussing an investigation into the NFL and its handling of the retired players' disability and pension benefits. Here's his synopsis of what he's made available to select members of the media so far:
I want to tell you about a story I would like to read about Roger Goodell. I only recently discovered that Roger Goodell, while serving under Commissioner Paul Tagliabue, sat as the 7th non-voting member of the Retirement Board. That means Goodell has been aware of all of the disability and retirement misconduct that occurred from the mid 90's to the present. I recently met with Federal investigators on three occasions to discuss filing charges – both criminal and civil – against the Retirement Board and the Groom Law Group. Goodell has been scamming the public about his "honest effort" in helping the retired players that he's perpetuated in the media. When we did the story last May about the Retirement Board making up a provision to exclude me from representing other retired players whose benefits had been compromised with the sole intent of saving these multimillionaire owners money, I wasn't aware that Goodell had put Harold Henderson in that very same seat he had occupied to oversee the obvious corruption at the hands of the Retirement Board. Out of my meeting with the investigators, it was disclosed to me that the Department of Labor has been working with the Retirement Board to cover up disability and retirement pension misconduct from the Bush administration (helping big business) to the Obama administration attempting to cover it up.
The devastating part of this story is that when they passed this phony exclusion-by-felony rule, the two people I had been representing were basically left to fend for themselves. Dwight Harrison had a son who committed suicide after Dwight's disability benefits were taken away. His retirement benefit money which amounted to $130,000 was then used to pay the Groom Law Group for attorneys' fees. Because of this, his family broke up and his son later committed suicide. The Retirement Board, under Goodell now have blood on their hands. Marian Klein, the widow of the late Dick Klein, lost her home because the "across-the-board benefit increase" that was given to everyone else was denied to her. Again, I was closing in on proving that both criminal and civil acts had occurred against a retired player's widow for no other purpose than to beat her out of $200 a month. Although they could never explain to her why she wasn't entitled to this benefit that everyone else got, without me there to scrutinize their actions, they basically told her, "We lied about your exclusion, we have no real answer, and you're still not going to get the benefit." She too has gone through tough times, caring for her son who is now in the late stages of his battle with cancer. She had to move in with him after losing her home because of these people.
I want to call out Roger Goodell in the press. This is the same Roger Goodell who, in a Retired Players meeting in Dallas last year, said about Dwight Harrison (in response to Dwight standing up and saying, "I am the poorest of the poor and I stand here embarrassed because of my situation."), "I want this man helped." What Goodell failed to say was that he was sitting in the Commissioner's seat at the Retirement Board meetings where they had plotted to take away this man's benefits and make him pay back all the money he had gotten from disability. They decided that they "made a mistake" and Dwight was never entitled to the disability benefit that he qualified for and had already been receiving. So they invented another amendment (much like they did with me) called "Overpayments" which was designed to unwind and take back all the benefit monies that were paid out for legitimate disability claims.
Most of you who know me know that I'm not going to tell you anything that I can't back up with facts and evidence. To those of you in the media: I want you to help me start this fight I intend to have with Roger Goodell since he's the one running the show today. And now I know he's putting his OK stamp from the Commissioner's office and turning his back on the corruption that's been going on, all while he's had inside knowledge since he first started sitting in that seat on behalf of Commissioner Tagliabue.
Let me put this in perspective: In the movie, "Mississippi Burning," at the end when justice finally catches up with the Klan, one of the last scenes depicts the FBI agents at the Mayor's house in the basement where the Mayor had hung himself. One of the agents turns and says to Willem DeFoe, "Why did the Mayor hang himself? He was the least involved." Willem DeFoe replied, "Anybody who knew this was going on, allowed it to happen and did nothing about it is just as guilty as the people who did it."
Mull this over and get back to me. I have enough to make this "Summer School," because all the fans need to know what they're paying for when they walk into the stadiums and buy into that National Football League brand, its owners and Roger Goodell, the guy who works for them.

I live on a farm here in West Virginia. We really do live off the land. I plant a large garden, I freeze, dehyrate and can everything possible. We raise beef cattle and hunt wild game. It's a family thing.
I met my husband at work. We got stuck on night shift together and he seemed to grow on me like a wart. We married 5 months after we started dating. We have now been married 16 yrs. He's a great husband and father too our two children. Our children are both in high school now. One of the best places we lived was in South Carolina. We made some awesome life long friends, that taught me very much about different foods and the area. Which I fell in love with.
A little about me. I'm a SAHM. Most of my time here alone is spent playing euchre, canning, gardening, cooking (a lot of OAMC), flipping thru my cook books (and i have plenty) and browsing thru Zaar! I just love it here. Trying to add a lot of our family favorites.
I enjoy traveling, reading, camping, fishing, hunting, gardening, canning, bbq-ing, bon fires, entertaining, baking, playing board and card games with the kids, swimming, photography, and just being with family and friends.
I cook a lot of different dishes. I love food with "flavor". I'm known around here for my bbq brisket, broccoli chicken rice casserole, chicken enchlaidas, pulled pork sandwhiches, strawberry raspberry rhurbarb pie, chocolate cheese cake to name a few.

What was the hardest course youve taken? - page 3
Of all the classes you've taken, which was the hardest? and what helped you to pass it? Determination? Hard work? Encouragement? Luckily, you passed that specific class! Both Nursing and Pre-nursing... Read More
1Dec 28, '12 by melizerd, ADN, RNBiochem, hands down worst class EVER.
I have heard a lot of people say Pharm was the worst, while it's intense I just made note cards and color coded everything and was uber uber organized about it and studied a ton. It's made a big difference so far.bellafsu89 likes this. -
0Dec 28, '12 by jtboog2003I'm curious, for all the people that say Pharmacology was the hardest class, what was it about the class that made it so hard?
1Dec 28, '12 by flying_ace2Pre-nursing - definitely organic chem!!! I have no idea how I passed it but did manage to get a C. Nursing (having only taken one semester so far....) - Fundamentals. It was hard to get my brain to "think like a nurse", and since I'm starting clinicals/upper division classes next semester I'm sure I'll have PLENTY more opportunity to hone my nurse thinking skills! Next semester it's med/surg 1 with lab and clinicals, pharm, and junior seminar, whatever that is....bellafsu89 likes this.
0Dec 28, '12 by NscorpioredPre Nursing -- Before I settled on nursing I wanted to become a doctor...so any of the Chemistry classes I took were heck...also the higher math classes were very difficult for me and even when I studied it didn't stick with me...the highest I did my best in was my Statistics class because I had a wonderful professor
Nursing -- So far it would have to be Pharmacotherapeutics because of all the new material, the way she taught, the amount testing she did, and also having to retain all that information...LifeSpan because once again the class bored me to tears, didn't take anything from it, and the professor left much to be desired...Fundamentals of Nursing II required me to apply my knowledge of Fundamentals of Nursing I and I just couldn't do it...for some reason that class posed a challenge for me but I did fairly well in the end...and now it would have to be Pediatrics Nursing because the professor was unpredictable, didn't actually teach the class and made learning a horrible process...hopefully this upcoming semester will be better -
0Dec 28, '12 by NscorpioredQuote from jtboog2003Because you really do have to learn the side effects, how it works, and what to look for with each medication. For me all my teacher did was read from the slides, we had to learn and be taught on our own. It made it very difficult and I was looking forward to Pharm as well. Just so I wouldn't be caught off guard I downloaded all of her powerpoints to study from later and I kept all my printed out notesI'm curious, for all the people that say Pharmacology was the hardest class, what was it about the class that made it so hard?
2Dec 29, '12 by Luckyyou, BSN, RNNutrition. What an unbelievable waste of time, even though it was taught by my favorite professor. Couldn't bring myself to study even five minutes for the class.x_factor and mz.snuggly1 like this.
0Dec 29, '12 by EverlineSo far I'd have to say statistics. That was the only class I've ever taken where I couldn't finish the exams in time. It was crazy. I'm surprised I didn't drop out. I didn't know I'd need it for nursing in the future. So glad I stuck to it. Managed a B.
I haven't taken chemistry yet. Not looking forward to that one. -
0Dec 29, '12 by RocketMama2011I would have to say Organic Chemistry. My class started with about 25 and ended with 8. The content was just very difficult and the teacher did not care to help us understand the material. I remember on valentines day. He drew a heart on the board & then drew a knife through it and proceeded to draw blood oozing from the heart. Talk about weird?! Lol Pharmacology would have to be the next. It was a lot of memorization. But to take it with Med Surg 1 was difficult. I gave med surg 1priority. But I still passed!

Evaluation version
Rummi is not free software; you need to buy a license if you want to play the game.
Before spending money, you can try Rummi out for free and see if you like the game. In evaluation mode, you can play the game and fully explore the software, with the following limitations:
You can play for 15 days.
You have 15 days to evaluate the software. These are days of real usage; if you don't use Rummi for a day, then that day won't count.
After 15 days, you must either buy Rummi, or remove Rummi from your computer.
Nothing is saved.
You can build up a game score, add new players, define your own games, etc.. But when you close the Rummi window, everything will be lost, and the next time you'll start all over again.
No private online games.
With an evaluation membership you can play online, but only on public tables, not private ones.
These limitations may change in the future, even for existing evaluation members.

A smaller PSP that organizes your life and connects you out.
Video gaming has been, up until now, only a limited driver of the full functionality presented by smartphones. True, some games like the phenomenon Angry Birds have become cult sensations, but most games are mostly gimmicks enjoyed for a few hours. While the novelty of gaming on a smartphone soon wears off, Sony Ericsson's new PlayStation Xperia PLAY phone gives gamers an exponentially better gaming experience.
For a younger audience not addicted to email or tweeting, much of the added cost of a smartphone was a waste of money, as a traditional PSP or Nintendo DS served the purpose much better, without a contract. But now that kids are sporting more cell phones, texting an incredible amount of times per day, and showing a reliance on phones that far outpaces their elders, Sony Ericsson decided to merge the two concepts and attract the market for serious gamers.
Utilizing Android, the Xperia PLAY phone promises a solid user experience when it comes out in March. With familiar games like The Sims and SpinterCell, it has history on its side, and Sony Ericsson is no lightweight, this phone could explode in popularity by satisfying a profitable niche.
Its significance on the forefront of digital out of home convergence is that it is first a gaming device that has phone features, and will most likely be marketed as such. But that doesn't mean that Android will sit quietly as only a background OS, it has its own hooks too, just now another carrot to dangle in front of Apple's iPhone users.

Norwich midfielder Wes Hoolahan has been drafted into the Republic of Ireland's squad for a friendly in Serbia next week. Picture by Paul Chesterton/Focus Images Ltd
Paddy Davitt, EDP Sports Writer
Friday, August 10, 2012
Norwich City midfielder Wes Hoolahan has become the fifth international call-up this week for the Canaries after being drafted into the Republic of Ireland squad for the upcoming friendly against Serbia in Belgrade.
Hoolahan is scheduled to meet up with the Irish party in Dublin on Sunday ahead of the game on Wednesday after replacing Everton's Darron Gibson, who has suffered a torn thigh injury.
City's midfield schemer is poised to join John Ruddy, Russell Martin, Robert Snodgrass and Steve Morison on international duty for their respective countries next week - three days before the Premier League opener at Fulham.
Hoolahan missed City's latest midweek friendly at Hull with a minor knock and Chris Hughton confirmed on Friday afternoon the former Shelbourne playmaker was also set to sit out tomorrow's finale against Borussia Monchengladbach, prior to returning to training on Monday.
The 30-year-old was overlooked by Giovanni Trapattoni for Ireland's Euro2012 campaign, but could be in line to win what would be his second full cap after playing in a friendly against Colombia in 2008 early on in the Italian's reign.

ISTANBUL - Twelve years on 9/11, Islamophobia machines are still running high to stigmatize Muslims worldwide, using terrorism label to marginalize any opponents, a leading US professor said at the International Conference on Islamophobia, launched in Istanbul yesterday.
"What you see is the irrational fear. Today everyday conversations in mainstream society express fear about Islam, John L. Esposito, professor of religion and international affairs and of Islamic studies at Georgetown University, was quoted as saying at the conference held in Istanbul, World Bulletin reported on Thursday, September 12.
Their conclusions become so taken for granted, and become truisms that require no evidence, no substance, they are not challenged in the public square.
World Muslims Reject Religious Extremist |
Espisoto was speaking at the International Conference on Islamophobia: Law and Media, opened in Istanbul on Thursday.
At the session titled Islamophobia and Media's Role, Esposito noted that through the 1990s, Europe and the US witnessed the beginnings of the upsurge of modern manifestations of Islamophobia.
These Islamophobia campaigns were basically led by seven US foundations which provided $ 42.5 million in support to Islamophobes and their websites over the last decade, Esposito added.
"I would argue that the strength of Islamophobia today comes through social media which impacts and influences popular culture far more than some of the traditional media," he said.
"What we have seen about Islamophobia today and before is the tip of the iceberg."
Based on an irrational fear with no evidence, 31 states in the US have passed anti-shari`ah legislations.
"The problem is, who is asking for anti-Shari`ah legislations? People in the states who did not even know what Shari`ah was, prepared to vote for anti-Shari`ah legislations," Esposito said.
The conference, running through September 12-13, was also attended by Turkish Deputy Minister Bulent Arinc and the OIC Secretary General Ekmelettin Ihsanoglu and several international scholars.
Stigmatizing Islamists
Esposito criticized those who avoid questioning the legitimacy of the Egyptian "coup" out of fear of an Islamist government, seeing it as a result of illogical fear of Islamophobia.
"The same is true in terms of simply repeating allegations, not looking at the level of violence by the military regime, Esposito said.
Thousands of people have been killed or runted.
Esposito added that the same illogical fear of Islamists applied to the rhetoric of Egypt after the army deposed former President Mohamed Morsi within and outside the country.
Condemning the double standards applied to the military's actions, Esposito explained that even if a tenth of the recent acts of mass violence had occurred under an Islamist government, or a Morsi-oriented government, there would have been widespread outcries calling it a "wave of terror."
He also criticized those who "do not come out and wonder about whether it was a coup or not, or they think it is legitimate to overthrow a democratically elected government rather than to vote that government out."
Norman Gary Finkelstein, an American political scientist specializing in anti-Semitism and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, agreed.
He said a common definition for anti-Semitism and Islamophobia would be: 'Generalization, targeting a group's core beliefs, that is hurtful and irrational, which would include: Muslims are terrorists and Jews are cheap, or the Holocaust never happened and Islam is all about religion.'
Finkelstein emphasized that definitions and labels were not useful, but rather tended to detract people from the main concern- to find the reality.

Then run /sbin/lilo to activate the changes.

We were always slightly alarmed whenever a Metallica track cropped up in Rock Band or Guitar Hero III. They were so difficult it was like a big sign saying, 'You shall not pass!' being thrust in our faces.
Surprisingly, Guitar Hero Metallica isn't like that. Neversoft has paid close attention to the difficulty curve, allowing non-gaming metallers to progress, but still offering thrills for hardcore shredders later on.
All of the 49 tracks are available in Freeplay mode right from the start. Unlocking songs in Career mode is also much easier than previous Guitar Hero games. Instead of having to complete every set before another becomes available, you just have to earn a set number of stars. This is good because it means you'll never get stuck behind one teeth-grindingly difficult number.
What separates this from other band tie-ins is that it feels like Metallica has been involved in every aspect of the game.
The motion capture is great, and every performance looks different and feels authentic. You'll see far fewer canned animations this time.
Neversoft seems to have also paid more attention to the staging of each song. Various camera filters, effects and some well-timed pyrotechnics combine to make it feel like you're down in the mosh pit at a real Metallica gig.
One of the coolest features is the ability to replay songs with Metallica-based facts running along the bottom of the screen. This is particularly useful when it comes to the support acts, explaining how bands like Alice in Chains and Lynyrd Skynyrd fit into the Metallica story. Most of the concert venues in the game are licensed, plus there's a ton of concert footage and interview footage to unlock, too.
Metally challenging
As far as the band experience goes, it's very similar to Guitar Hero World Tour. The biggest change is when it comes to pounding the drums, because this is a lot more challenging than we're used to.
Lars Ulrich loves the bass pedal, and you have to use it until your foot nearly falls off. Super-masochists will love the new Expert Plus mode, requiring two bass pedals and usually lasting no longer than ten seconds before Game Over.
The one thing that lets this package down is that you can't use DLC from Guitar Hero World Tour (with the exception of Metallica's Ride the Lightning). Its overall appeal is also a little more limited than previous Guitar Heroes.
You don't have to be a metal fan to enjoy this, but it obviously helps. In any case, we can see more than a few people being converted to the ways of darkness by this rather good compilation.
The best band tie-in to date
- A good selection of tracks
- Well-balanced difficulty curve
- Feels like the band has been involved
- Expert Plus mode is absolutely insane
- Can't use DLC from World Tour
