I don't know which is making DH more blissful, the thought of free cold cuts or the silicone bobbling...on girls young enough to be his daughters. A new topless place is having a grand opening and he is just so enthusiastic.
Meanwhile our morgage company has sent us a letter saying he forgot to pay the house insurance and now the terms of the mortgage are violated. I said. "Wha-a-a--at!! Called the insurance, who said hold on a minute, you are now uninsured and we will not re-enroll you until you retro fit the house, which means having the frame bolted to the foundation. So right now our only asset is completely unprotected from fire, quake or the Four Horsemen of the Apocalyptus (sorry, I can't spell Apoccaplyse or whatever.) DH had better enjoy that ti**yflop show because those are the only ones he is going to see for a long time. |

I've got a pretty good sense of humor, I think, but the situation you've described is pitiful. You've been around the site for a while. As I recall, we've even locked horns a few times. Is this really your life? |

I don't recall locking horns w/you, Asolo, but you and I both say whatever we mean right out, so it's possible. Yep, this is actually my life. Do you think anybody could make up this stuff? |
How is the frame not already bolted/attached to the foundation? How is that even possible? The house is covered by the mortgage company's policy (your stuff's not though). They probably haven't charged you yet, but their coverage goes into effect whenever yours lapses. The ability to do that is just one part of the reason it's so expensive- the fact that it has to cover houses regardless of condition/occupancy is the other. It depends on the bank whether or not you get charged when you have a lapse- some charge if there was ever even a day's lapse ever, others only after their charges have gone through. If you call the bank (you'll probably talk to someone at the forced placed insurance carrier since most of them handle the phone calls for the insurance department) they can tell you which category they fall in. They can also tell you if they received a cancellation or non-renewal notice from your insurance company. And believe me- taking that call is 90% of their job. They won't judge you for it if you're nice. You also might want to call around and see if any other companies will cover you without retrofitting, just to get your own policy in force ASAP. Considering that your agent let your insurance lapse for nonpayment AND they can't reinstate it because of the frame issue, without so much as a phone call to tell you that, what's the point of having an agent?! |

The house was built in 1927 (no retrofitting) and belonged to DH for some years before we married, so I have not been involved in the details of the insurance. Yesterday he told me that he (miraculously!) got the house insurance reinstated with no retrofitting - and this happened in the closing hours of a three day weekend. He also gave me a big story on why the insurance lapsed, the gist of which was that none of it was his fault and he also claims that he explained this to me on Thursday but, I "didn't understand". I asked him to look out the window and tell me if he saw a large produce truck. He went to the window and said, no large produce truck, why did you ask? Because, I said, you must think the biggest turnip truck in the world is outside and that I just fell off it. |

I am confused, what you described is awful, forgot to pay insurance, well maybe, but lying about paying insurance and going to topless bars? where do you live? it is illegal to have topless bars in my area, you have to drive to the pretty bad part of the town. I would find out what he spends his money on and start saving just in case. do you have children? why is a married guy going to topless bars, what's going on? |
Usually there's a large laspe time with insurance policies... Gosh, how late were the payments? I'd call around and see if you can get insurance from someone else. Also, a topless bar? Really, just to go? It's not his brother's bachelor party or something.. he just goes to topless bars just because they are having a grand opening? That seems kind of odd... Not sure how to respond... but it really probably shouldn't be going on and you shouldn't be talking about it or discussing it like it is even an option. Does he frequent whores when he's in Vegas too? How would you handle that one? I'd probably handle them the same way.... neither are an option... end of story... |
Yuck. |

"Well, does it work?"
Lumped beneath the noise of criticism heaped on a football coach for "icing" a kicker, not enough people were asking the legitimate question. "Does calling a timeout before a kicker attempts a long field goal help prevent the kick from being successful?"
(This is a hockey blog, and we'll get to the hockey-related content shortly)
As it turns out, no, it doesn't. Much of the criticism of Philadelphia Eagles' head coach Andy Reid's decision to call a timeout to "ice" New York Giants' kicker Lawrence Tynes came as a result of the fact that Tynes missed the kick that took place on the dead play.
Tynes would go on to miss the second attempt as well (turns out it's hard to kick a field goal from 54 yards) but we went into the night with many columnnists and commentators going after Reid for his own individual actions, being such an easy target, nobody was questioning the practice itself.
Icing the kicker is a football convention that's only sometimes challenged by people who actually have a stake in football games. These would be coaches who, after research shows that on long field goal attempts the practice doesn't make these kicks any less successful, continue to operate applying their own philosophy on the game instead of what actually happened.
Hockey has a long way to go as well. There are ways to manipulate both the rulebook and convention to gain an advantage.
Rewind to 1942. Then-coach of the Detroit Red Wings, Jack Adams, introduced a new system for his team where they would fire the puck into the zone and chase after it, upsetting the convention of a player skating it in over the blue line. Turk Broda called the Red Wings "unbeatable" as his Toronto Maple Leafs dropped the first three games of the Stanley Cup Finals, before adapting and eventually winning the series.
Despite the unsuccess of the dump-and-chase in the long run, dump-and-chase became a staple of hockey. It's not only that, but a brand of hockey popularized by a lot of talking heads on TV who were former grinders themselves such as Don Cherry and Nick Kypreos and PJ Stock. I have to imagine Krys Barch will one day fit in that mix.
This is the best example to use for hockey. Dump-and-chase is a celebrated, conventional method for depth players to gain the zone, either because they lack confidence or ability. Once establishing possession of the puck, oddly enough, it's been found by Eric T. of NHL Numbers that the elite Philadelphia Flyers players showcased no inherent offensive zone ability once the line had been gained. A grinder like Zac Rinaldo will get as many shots off an entry with puck possession than Jaromir Jagr, and about twice as much as an entry where the puck is dumped or deflected into the zone.
Furthering that, Eric found nearly the same data for the Minnesota Wild players. The Philadelphia Flyers won 12 more games than the Wild this past season, and much of it, Eric found, was due to the fact that the Wild dumped the puck in more often. The Wild, just like the Flyers, generated more shots across all lines when the puck was skated or passed into the zone as opposed to dumping it in.
Yet dumping and chasing is still a thing, employed in bulk by teams like the Wild who think this is the way to win hockey games, instead of creating better hockey players in the system. The convention of celebrating a grinder for dumping the puck in and going in for an aggressive and chippy—yet ultimately disadvantageous forecheck, is counter-productive. It's not teaching young players to weave and pass and win battles and be creative in the neutral zone to bring the puck in the right way, or the way the math prefers.
Ultimately, the math, when applied to strategy, ought to have the upper hand. Yet teams still ice the kicker, draw up entry plays that involve grinders dumping the puck in, and employ the sacrifice bunt, even if these are conventions that have the end result of putting fewer points onto their side of the scoreboard at the end of the day.
Which is to say, Jack Adams was right back in the 1940s. He employed a strategy that the league wasn't used to yet, and had a pile of success employing it, winning the 1943 Stanley Cup Final for the Red Wings before the league as a whole could adapt.

There are two true answers to some of these questions for every page on every website:
We can, however, assess the effectiveness of individual pages when we know the goals of that page:
The "Content > Site Content > Content Drilldown" report shows the relative popularity of different sections of the site. Google sorts content by page URLs; thankfully our topic-based folder structure takes advantage of this logic. Clicking on any top-level folder (like "/re/") will let you compare the performance of that folder's subsections (like "/tapestry/", "/owl/", etc.).
The "Content > Site Content > Pages" report shows the relative popularity of individual URLs on the site.
Use the "Filter" to narrow down the subset of information you're looking at.
Looking at the "Pageviews" for each of your pages gives you a rough idea of which pages are "getting eyeballs," (or web robots) but there are lots of ways to measure the success of a page.
One is by looking at the "Avg. Time on Page." If you're hoping that people are soaking up the information on your page (watching a video, or reading a sermon), you may be able to judge how well the page is performing by looking at how long people are spending on that page.
We can look at the "In-Page Analytics" to see what links are attracting clicks, and sometimes that gives us an idea about what parts of the page are getting attention. REMEMBER: Google cannot differentiate between two links to the same location. Crazy Egg can differentiate between links, and the tests we've done on UUA.org confirm that following basic usability principles is your best bet for effective content delivery.
Because we can't embed Google's tracking code in documents, multimedia files, or external links, data on these "Events" is tracked differently from the data on regular web pages.
The "Site Search" area under "Content" gives data about searches performed using our custom site search. These searches are from people who are already on UUA.org, so they tend to be more specific than the keywords in the "Traffic Sources > Search" area, which occurred on Google.com or another web-wide search engine.
Reviewing the keywords that led to views of your pages—or, perhaps more importantly, the keyword searches that started on your pages—can help you optimize your content to meet user demand.
Putting popular content front-and-center not only increases user satisfaction, it also helps you funnel readers to content you think is important. For example, if you have information on "child dedications" but people are looking for information on "baptisms," be sure to include information about how baptisms are related to child dedications on your page. That way, people looking for "baptism" won't get lost in a sea of empty search results; instead, they'll find your page which explains why Unitarian Universalists don't normally have baptisms.
Review site search data for any and all iterations of words that you hope will lead people to your pages, and make sure you're using the most popular ones in your text.

Love is hard to quantify, but a heart rate monitor is as close as you can come, right? And if not, you can at least use it when you're jogging and then pretend you were thinking about her/him the whole time.
yeah not quite the $99 list price for the pedometer. around $13 on amazon with prime shipping. about $12 through third party on there. the heart rate monitor watch is a deal on here, but didnt get the best reviews. [MOD: We fixed that list price. Thanks for noting it.]
I bought the Zone 3.0 ($13) the last time it was on woot. Been using it for a month or so now. LOVE it. It has perform correctly everytime. I use the 'lock screen' to keep the display on either HR or time-counter, depending on my mood.
I bought this watch last go-round on Woot, and my only regret is not getting the blue band instead of the pink. It's a little complicated at first, but it works extremely well and is very comfortable to wear. My biggest problem is I have very long hair, and sometimes when I run my hand through my hair, it gets painfully stuck (and has ripped out more hair than I care to mention)
I bought the 2.0 last time around and must say I'm highly disappointed. I was hoping not having the chest strap would make it easier and more convenient. I wanted to use it for when I go running in the early mornings. Unfortunately if your thumb is either cold or sweaty, it won't give you a reading. At least not until you've warmed up or stopped sweating and by that time your heart rate has dropped considerably. A Wooter had warned of this after my purchase and I grabbed the 3.0 just in case, but haven't tried it out yet. Hoping for better results when I do.
Bought the 2.0 last time it was around, and it's fairly decent. It's super sensitive, though, and the readings aren't always accurate.
As a physician I want to say that a heart rate monitor is a really good idea for many people. I think it's essential for someone starting out on a fitness program. Elite world class athletes don't need them, but most of us aren't in that category. This little gadget might save your life one day.
I have the purple 2.0 watch sold here for $21 and so far it works great except, like the earlier commenter said, you are sweaty in the middle of a workout. I bought it two weeks ago from Amazon with free shipping from the vendor for $22.

Anyone know how large the chest strap is? Been Googling but haven't been able to find it...

Usually they are stretchy and adjustable enough for almost anyone.

I ride my bike often. One time I was feeling great and was pushing hard. Looked at my monitor and I was way out of my range (pushing >180). At that point I slowed myself down as beyond that put me in a dangerous zone. That said, HR monitors are great to keep you in a certain zone (fat burning, cardio etc). They're great for intervals too. In for two. One for me and one for a friend getting a bike. Great price. Hoping I love it and am as satisfied with the new one as I am with my current one. Anybody know if they are set up so there is no interference from being around another with the same HR monitor?
Thoughts on the differences between the 2.0 and 3.0? I'm really interested in grabbing one of these, but so far, after some searching, I can't really tell the difference between the two.
lnjelinek and Jemandler, I'll see about getting some answers.

Thank you for your interest in returning to IWU - we missed you while you were gone! If you've already been an IWU student enrolled on a full-time basis, the return process is simplified. Below is a list of the steps you'll want to complete to ensure that your return to campus is smooth and successful. Debi Walters (Associate Director of Admissions) is your connection in the admissions office to get answers on the process or to find out who the best contact might be in a particular department. You can reach Debi at 765-677-2133.
Before we get to the details, let's review the "cheat sheet."
Complete the Re-admit Form and additional paperwork with the Admissions Office.
File the FAFSA and connect with the Financial Aid Office.
Talk to your Academic Adviser to double-check your degree requirements and schedule a time to meet for academic advising.
Connect with Student Development to complete the Campus Housing Application or to complete the off-campus housing process.
Clear up any holds on your account.
Register for classes.
In most cases you will only need one or two forms to be approved to return to IWU. All students must complete the Re-admit Application. If you've attempted any college work since you were last enrolled at IWU, you will also need to have the Transfer Information Form completed by the Dean of Students at your most recent college. You will also need to have official transcripts sent to the Admissions Office by any college where you've attempted college work since you ceased your enrollment at IWU.
Re-admit students are allowed to register for classes once all students who are currently enrolled have had a chance to register for the coming semester. Typically this occurs near mid-November for spring semesters and mid-April for fall semesters. Students must be registered by the end of the first day of classes each semester. Please check with the Admissions Office or Residential Academic Services for exact dates.
If there are no holds on your student record, your re-admit paperwork can usually be processed the same day it is all received by the Admissions Office (keep in mind, though, that transcripts need to be sent by the college you attended and not hand-delivered). Once it is processed you will be given a Permit to Register, which you will take to Residential Academic Services to receive a registration packet. Please be aware that offices close at 5 p.m. We encourage you to check with the Admissions Office to ensure that all paperwork is in order before coming to campus to register.
You will need to schedule a meeting with your academic adviser to assist you with course selection and sign your registration form before you can complete your registration. If you have changed majors or are unsure who your academic adviser is, Residential Academic Services can assist you in making that connection.
A hold can be placed on a student's record for multiple reasons. There are financial holds for things like an outstanding balance on your student account, parking tickets or library fines. Some students also receive a hold because of excess chapel absences or from Student Development for a community conduct violation. In most cases these are relatively easy for you to resolve. However, they must be cleared with the department who has issued the hold before your application to return to IWU can be processed.
When you complete your application for re-admission and submit it to the Admissions Office, you will be notified if there are any holds on your student record. If you'd like to check them in advance, you may do so by contacting Debi Walters at 765-677-2133.
Students who have been suspended or dismissed academically must meet the requirements outlined in the catalog before being considered for re-admission to the university.
Once you've met these requirements you are eligible to appeal to the Academic Standing Sub-Committee for approval to return on probation. In addition to the Re-admit Form, Transfer Information Form and College Transcript(s), you'll need to complete a letter of appeal. The letter should outline what caused your academic deficiencies, why the outcomes will be improved if you are allowed to return and how you plan to make your next college experience successful. An appeal does not guarantee that a student will be granted permission to return to campus.
If you've been suspended or dismissed by the Student Development Office, you will need to check with them for the terms of your departure and eligibility to return to IWU.
If you were placed on academic probation before you ended your enrollment with IWU or it is a condition of your return, you will be required to meet with the Director of Residential Academic Services before you register for classes. In some cases, you may be required to take specific courses or meet with the Director of the Center for Student Success. These requirements will be outlined for you during your meeting with the Director of Residential Academic Services.
If you've been placed on citizenship probation, you'll need to check with Student Development for the terms and requirements.

Loneliness Quotes, Sayings about feeling lonely - Page 2
Loneliness breaks if you think God is there with you.
I feel like a caged bird waiting to be freed. Living in a world where people are not what they seem. Not knowing not caring what to do anymore, just lonely. And all that I have is a book in my hand. Nothing else I hold so dear. Just wishing you would be near. If only for a little bit. If only for a little while. Then maybe through the thick clouds. What you might see is my smile. Hidden behind my true form. Hidden are my many scars. No one notices but if they do, they don't say anything. Waiting for you feels like forever. But you must know that I can't wait forever. So I live in my lonely world waiting to be saved. But it seems that no one is willing to save me. So ever night I lay in my cage weeping. How could you…but you don't answer. How could you? And still you don't answer. Will I ever have a happy ending?
Ask me what is loneliness? It's how I feel without your presence.
If home is where love is;
And home is where trust is;
Then I guess I'm homeless.
A broken relationship would make you feel more lonely than when you were single.
I die every day, every second without you.
We enter the world alone!!!!!!
We leave the world alone!!!!!
So it's better we live alone!!!!!!!
Why do people have to be this lonely? What's the point of it all? Millions of people in this world, all of them yearning, looking to others to satisfy them, yet isolating themselves. Why? Was the earth put here just to nourish human loneliness?
– Haruki Murakami
I celebrated 16 valentines- "Alone"
tomorrow is 17th. !!!!
Never knew being single and alone would take a huge toll on my life.
I'm tired of people pretending I'm not here, I'm tired of being invisible, "Well I'm not, well I'm not I'm right here in front of you".
When I feel sad, lonely, bore or just down. I feel like to eat south Indian food espically Dosas! Because it solidify my feeling of boredom and confirms that sadness has its own value.
Life is nothing without love and a good relation.
We enter the world alone,
We leave the world alone,
So it is better to be alone.
There are two types of people in the world: those who prefer to be sad among others, and those who prefer to be sad alone.
– Nicole Krauss
The lonely one offers his hand too quickly to whomever he encounters.
– Friedrich Nietzsche
When you're awake at 4am & you don't miss anyone, then you know that you've been gone for too long, and you just don't want do.
Or that there's no one really there to miss or think about. And you realize that you haven't been gone…but just alone for too long.
I think what I need more than anything else in the world is to be told that a friend doesn't know what they would do without me.
The most terrible poverty is loneliness, and the feeling of being unloved.
– Mother Teresa
I guess, even the company of evil is preferable to loneliness.
The truth is, you don't love me, you don't miss me, you don't care because if you did, I won't be this lonely even though we are together.
Loneliness is when people come to talk to you, because you're a good person and a good listener. Though when you have something on your mind that you wish to talk about the room is empty. So you remain on a search for that special person that will hear what you have to say. That is, if it doesn't become too much from waiting so long.
There are people in this world who enjoy being alone. But there isn't a single person who can bear solitude
– Makarov (Fairy Tail).
I would rather feel lonely by myself than to feel lonely with someone.
The biggest disease known to mankind is loneliness. :- (

Album Review: "Almost Sentimental" by Ted McCloskey
Posted by Samantha Hatfield on 09/01 at 09:20 AM
Grade: A-
Almost Sentimental is the sixth album from State College musician, Ted McCloskey. Within the confines of its 15 tracks, the many musical sides of the veteran musician are not so discretely exposed. From its inception, the album is a representation of McCloskey's dichotomous musical personality.
The opening track, "Dancing As Fast As I Can," is an upbeat, catchy tune that has an almost nostalgic rock aesthetic with its intense guitar work. McCloskey's husky baritone is striking from the first note and continues to impress throughout the album. On "I Can Feel You", McCloskey's voice grinds out with an alt-rock edge.
"Stitch By Stitch" and "My Own Millionaire" are amazing tracks with rock flair. Something about "Stitch By Stitch" really draws the listener in and that something could definitely be the expertly crafted hook: "Stitch by stitch by stitch I'll make you a perfect fit."
Borrowing a musical lick from The Doors with an opening that sounds strangely similar to their "Touch Me," McCloskey crafts a great track with "Cheat Me Fair." The track has some great moments of dissonance, but also contains a bit too much resolution on the verse, which taints the otherwise great song. The juvenile melody of the verses is poorly composed and is the only part of the great track that needs a little rewrite session.
On "Feeling Kinda Rough" McCloskey adds piano, a very welcome sound within the album. There is something about the extra piano flourishes that reside within the composition that adds wonderful color and depth to the track. Perhaps, McCloskey would consider adding more piano in his future work.
In opposition to much of McCloskey's rock sound, some of the tracks where he slowed down the pace and chilled out his sound were really effective. Seeing another side to the rock artist on "Tell Me Something Pretty," "The High Water Mark," and "Ten After Eight" gave the album a feeling of completeness. McCloskey found a great balance of deeply moving musical composition and a strong sense of story and lyric. On "The High Water Mark" McCloskey croons:
"This is the crest, the drunken success. The wave in full bloom, the most breathing room. // But water cascades and everything drops. And without even knowing, I start overflowing. // Overflowing the high water mark."
This is truly some of the most honest and beautiful lyric of the album.
"Too Much To Dream Off" is another of McCloskey's slowed down tracks with plenty of acoustic guitar but also glimpses of his harder rock side. The beautiful acoustic opening gives way to a grungier sound before backing off again into soft vocal and acoustic. The almost drunken lullaby has a great juxtaposition of the two sounds and making the listener feel as restless as McCloskey. This is the perfect closing track for McCloskey's Almost Sentimental as it is the perfect representation of the album title.
Ted McCloskey is a musical veteran who has developed a voice within his music that shows great range in musical style. I personally cannot wait to see McCloskey play a live show in downtown State College. Perhaps, I will even try to catch his show this Friday at The Phyrst.
Almost Sentimental is available on Amazon.com:

ocean city MD rental for july
I'm looking for condo or house rentals for every weekends in july with 3 nites stay but all the website shows it needed 7 days min stay. Is it too late to look for rentals at ocean city, MD at this time for the summer? My budget is around $1.2k to 1.5k for 3 nites with around 14 ppl. Does anyone have any pointers? Thank you and rep on the way for any useful advise.

Hi Anone work with the seeds of this plant.?? Have tried in the past but had only partial success. I mixed the seeds with sand and got very even germintion in seed flats but still WAY too close togetherlol Any tips on transplanting the incredibly small sprouts?? Thanks gary |

My absolute favorite lobelia! Nothing beats that cobalt blue in the garden. I have sprinkled little tiny micro pinches in baskets and other mixed planters and had some success. Also, when I get the little 4 " pots from the stores, I take them and manually split them into two or three sections, planted those and had success that way, too. They do seem to be very densely planted in the pots from the commercial growers. That said, maybe you could take a fork and lift out 1 inch sections and replant those. Good Luck! |
Hi One of my favorite also!! In the past I've just bought seedlings but last year tried seeds in a hanging basket. Worked but lost at least half of them . Went with seed cells this year. Even mixing the seed with sand still got "clumps "lol How long should I wait before transplant?? Obviously not going to be able to move individuals due to size Any tricks to getting them through summer?? I also grow cardinalis but it's a snap to work with Thanks gary |
Would a pepper shaker work? I've heard this used to sow small seeds. |
- Posted by thonotorose FL 9 (My Page) on Wed, Oct 23, 13 at 22:21
Gary, I managed to get one sprig through this summer. It was in shade and watered carefully. I just started fertilizing it to see if it grows. |
Sounds like it is tricky to work with. I bought several seed packs to try, wondering if I should start them in 3oz solo cups inside under grow lights, from the statements you two have made.... |
Tom What kind did you get?? They are almost all hybrids "Crystal palace " is based on L,erinus . main problem is they are incredibly small seeds .and tend to all come up in the same place so require thinning . I had fair results in a hanging basket just removing excess as they grew but wasted half the seedlings This year used seed cells mixing with sand much better but still too dense. due to the size thinning is going to be tough!! Direct sowing would be even tougher as they are moisture demanding and are easily damaged while watering.weeding would be almost imposssible lol. Once they get 3/4 leaves are very tough except for heat , for me. they rapidly decline when warm nights set in .So i use them in winter. and as annuals. .One pack of seeds is enough .Guessing i got a thousand sprouts !! If I can figure out how to grow them on lol .L. cardinalis the red type is very easy but requires constant moisture but I grow them in a marsh garden . Love the deep cobalt color of the erinus there are also sky blue and some with white eyes though I prefer the deep solid colors . Good luck!! gary |
Hi Gary, I bought the seeds last spring and never did anything with them. Regatta Lilac Splash - like you said, a kazillion seeds in the tiny ziploc I have no idea if these seeds are still viable, I'll put one pellet each in a 3oz solo cup of peat starter mix and mist them with water to keep the mix moist. Only time will tell.... Tom |

As far as mecha-focused animes and their inevitable video game adaptations go, one can always count on Namco Bandai to make a yearly contribution via the Mobile Suit Gundam series. Namco Bandai Games recently announced the latest game in the long-running franchise: Gundam Memories: Tatakai no Kioku.
The PSP third-person action game will introduce the new mobile suit shift system mechanic, where players control three mobile suits and can switch between them while in battle. A mobile suit can store up to four bars which are used for special trigger abilities. Using one bar boosts a mobile suit's attack and speed temporarily, while using two bars enables a quick-time event attack that deals big damage. Using three bars enables all three mobile suits to enter battle for a combined attack.
The action game will have two different modes: Situation mode and Mission mode. The former is a retelling of Mobile Suit Gundam stories from the Gundam 00, Gundam U.C., and Gundam Seed Destiny timelines, and gamers will reenact famous robot battles from throughout the series. The latter mode presents gamers with new missions, and they can choose their custom team of three mobile suits to complete them.
Gundam Memories: Tatakai no Kioku is slated for June 23. For GameSpot's coverage on the last Gundam game, head here.

Actually, I'm not anywhere NEAR as talkative as Melissa. So if we are making comparisons, I'm quiet. ;)
You know it's true. ;)
When I'm around you, I can't get a word in edgewise.
Besides, don't you have a trip report to write or something?
Seven weeks from right now I will be sitting on the dock at the bay watching the tide roll away.
And 7 weeks from right NOW, I will be powering up for a rockin' sail away party!
Seven weeks from right NOW, I will be getting gussied up in my formal attire for a romantic evening with my honey.
Six weeks from right now, I'll be so excited that I won't be able to sit still at my desk! I'll be watching every minute tick down... Ugggh, is it November yet??
Six weeks from right now I'll be sitting on the dock at the bay watching the tide roll away (or roll in, whichever the case may be). Hopefully sitting on the patio at Grills sipping a margarita and having me some shrimps. Let the vacation begin! :yahoo:
I wonder when we will be getting our cruise documents......................................... ........
No. I've decided to stay home.
I got a packet from the travel agent today.
We are going to have a lot of fun.
OMG!! :hurray::hurray:
I can't wait to get home. For some reason, it crossed my mind this morning that we could be getting documents today. Of course, there was no mail yesterday, so I thought maybe there'd be a shot at getting them today!
So, now I totally can't wait to get home!
No cruise docs yet, just a packet from the agent.

Just testing out the Twitter Tools WordPress plugin and trying to decide how I want to configure the settings. This looks like a really great plugin. I just want to make sure I don't blast my followers with irrelevant crap. Oh wait … it's Twitter so I guess maybe they should expect irrelevant crap from me.
The plugin offers some pretty nice settings like creating a blog post for each tweet, creating a daily digest of all tweets in a single blog post, and updating twitter with a link each time you create a blog post. I think I'll probably refrain from having Twitter Tool create a blog entry for each Twitter update. I just don't think I need blog entries declaring that I'm stuck in traffic, eating sushi, or having a latte. I probably will enable the daily digest though.

UBS Encouraged Kweku Adoboli To Develop Other Interests Outside Rogue Trading, Which It Condoned, Says Lawyer/Old Boss
By Bess LevinAdoboli lawyer Charles Sherrard said the bank became "more aggressive in terms of its desire to make profits" in 2011, while cross-examining one of Adoboli's former bosses at a fraud trial in London today. "The culture, practice at the bank you were working for, didn't matter as long as you were making money," Sherrard said to Ron Greenidge, who oversaw UBS's exchange-traded-funds desk until April of last year…Greenidge, who worked at UBS for 19 years, said today he was dismissed for gross misconduct because of Adoboli's trades. He said he felt the bank was making him a scapegoat…Sherrard read out Adoboli's performance reviews from 2009 written by Greenidge, which said the trader needed a better balance between work and other activities. Greenidge said Adoboli was a "great ambassador for the ETF product" and had outstanding performance that year…The culture at UBS changed with the arrival from Deutsche Bank of Yassine Bouhara in 2010 as the co-head of equities, Sherrard said. Bouhara is no longer at the bank. "The very nature of the bank became more aggressive in terms of its desire to make profit," Sherrard said to Greenidge. "The mantra was coming from above was revenue, revenue, revenue." [Bloomberg]

Greater Revenue =/= Greater Profit
-Cost of Sales Genie
Who needs profit?
Greater VaR == Greater Profit
Who needs revenue?
–There, fixed it for you
Greater photoshop, excel, scanners, and both laser and ink jet printers = Greater Profit
–Russell Wasendorf Sr.
I would also encourage Kweku to not lie down so much (bedsores and all that).
Yup, that was it!! The more revenue the bigger the bonus at the top!! Some things never change!!
"It's like having rainman on the floor except you can touch him and shit"
Dear Mr. Greenridge,
Are you sure the culture changed, because from my viewpoint, it looks like you (you as in UBS — and don't you dare try adding & US, because that's where I draw the line) continued to do what what you do best — lose lot's and lot's of money. Whether one calls this culture "reputation, reputation, reputation", or "revenue, revenue, revenue" doesn't change that fact.
You're talking about value drivers? I didn't consider either…$1.0bn just felt right
-Zuckerberg IBD
While these actions will no doubt be subjects of litigation, suffice it to say that I had every expectation of privacy in these spaces, which stored vestiges of closed chapters of my life.

1. bury 9 figure mismarks = aggressive
2. bury 10 figure mismarks was never discussed!

To our shareholders: that's we changed the mantra. Because we're always thinking of you.

Taking screenshots?
- 08-27-2005 #2
I used either gnome-panel-screenshot for Gnome or KSnapshot for KDE. They both are able to do screenshots of terminals. I don't know how scrot works.

Which Book Won the October Poll?
Hi, Bookies:
It was a decisive win for In the Garden of Beasts, Erik Larson's incredible nonfiction telling of a somewhat obscure but nonetheless fascinating figure in American history: William Dodd, the unassuming history professor who became the U.S. ambassador to Nazi Germany. But the book is almost equally about his daughter, Martha, as reckless and outspoken as her father was not, and an unrepentant party girl drawn to the "glamorous" elite of the Nazi party. Slowly Ambassador Dodd came to realize, despite his own prejudices, what horror was unfolding about him; Martha, sadly, was a different story.
Join RS.com Deputy Editor Maggie Shi later this week as she introduces this compelling book and sets up our reading schedule for the month. See you then!

This is the first time SCE&G has increased its base rates for natural gas since 1989. The new rates are based on an allowed return on common equity of 10.25 percent.
The overall 5.69 percent increase becomes effective for bills rendered on and after the first billing cycle of November 2005 and will be allocated among customer classes as follows:
Currently, a residential customer using 100 therms of natural gas would pay $121.11 in a typical winter month. Under the new rates, a residential customer will pay $125.61 (under residential value rates) or $133.35 (under residential standard rates), an increase of $4.50 or $12.24, respectively. Part of the increase in standard rates during the winter months will be offset by a reduced minimum charge in the summer months. Value rates apply to customers using an average of 10 or more therms during the months of June, July and August.
"We believe the settlement agreement balances the interests of all the parties involved," said Neville Lorick, SCE&G's president and chief operating officer. "This is the first time SCE&G has increased its natural gas base rates since 1989. The new rates provide us the opportunity to earn an adequate return on our natural gas assets. The additional revenue will enhance our ability to make new capital investments that will be needed to support future growth and economic development in South Carolina."
PROFILESCE&G provides natural gas service to approximately 283,000 customers in 34 counties in South Carolina. The company is also engaged in the generation, transmission, distribution and sale of electricity to more than 592,000 customers in 24 counties in the central, southern and southwestern sections of the state.
SCANA Corporation, a Fortune 500 company headquartered in Columbia, SC, is an energy-based holding company principally engaged, through subsidiaries, in electric and natural gas utility operations and other energy-related businesses. Information about SCANA and its businesses is available on the Company's website at www.scana.com.

Raw Ruby Tracey Bregman Gemstone Ring
Par katt
de Montreal
I received my ruby ring today ... wonderful .. I was a little apprehensive reading some of the other reviews and was not sure if I should make a purchase .. I went ahead anyway and am totally satisfied ... I know the ring size reads approx. 3/4" knuckle to knuckle .. and that is the size exactly .. if I could make one wish it would be for it to be a little larger .. otherwise it is just as described ... terrific .. thanks !

I am rather disappointed. The stones are so damaged - they look like something heavy ran on then

Purchased this ring but doesn't look as nice as the photo. The real thing looks cheap. I will keep it but glad I bought it on sale and not the full price as I would have been more disappointed with it.

Big and juicy
Par champagne-on-ice
de Pickering, ON
I ordered these in both blue and red. The blue sapphire one was in very good shape. The ruby had a chip, so I sent it back and ordered another, which was better. The rubies both had black marks on the top, but on the one I kept, the marks were less noticable. The thing that perplexes me is why did they use created white sapphires instead of real ones? At least the designer didn't use CZ's.

I purchased this ring in Ruby. I'm happy with it. It's a nice size and does catch your attention. I do like the natural look of the stone. It may not be the flashiest ring I own but I do like it.

Par I love jewelry
de Hammonds Plains, NS
Sent the ring back. I think this is the worst piece of jewelry I have ever purchased from TSC. I have purchased cheaper costume jewerly that was better quality than this. The large red stone was not polished very well - the prongs to keep the stone in place were terribly made. Just an awful purchase.
Love it
Par Elena

My birthstone is ruby and I am very happy withthe purchase of this ring.It's big, but not too big to have on the fingerday and knight. It looks much better in person,looks rich, beautiful to me.The price is outstanding.
Par LUANNE
de LONDON
I really like this ring. It's not as big as I thought it would be (something like the size of the stone in the matching necklace would have been perfect) but it's beautiful nevertheless. Lots of sparkle in the surrounding white stones. The gold tone is a bit too gold, so that's why I rated it a four, but very lovely. And the blue is the right blue - blue that you can see, not so dark that it looks black.

Sad Surprise
Par Jane for Jewels
de montreal
I have returned this ring. There was a mark on top of the blue sapphire as if the polishing had not been completed. One of the created sapphires was set so much deeper than the others that I thought a stone had fallen out when I received it.The created sapphires had barely any sparkle.When so much time was spent talking about wanting to provide quality workmanship, this was a very sad surprise.

American PsychoReviewed by: Brett Willis Extremely Offensive

An Empty Theater

Year of Release:
USA Release:
"American Psycho" marks a new low for major releases. Those who've read my other Spotlight reviews know I have a high tolerance for offensive material and I try to give credit for artistic merit wherever possible. But I've walked out of a few films that I considered both offensive and pointless; and except for my intending to review it, this one certainly would have qualified. The story centers on a young 1980s Wall Street hotshot, Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale), who inherited rather than earned his position in the company. In voiceovers, he details his meticulous diet, exercise and skin care regimens and other things that all focus on "self." He and his coworkers, still in their daytime business suits, go to weird nightspots and snort cocaine. But although the whole group is hedonistic, he explains that he's different from the others because he's not really a part of humanity; everything he does is an act, and he has no emotions except greed and disgust (in other words, he's Psychopathic/has a severe case of Antisocial Personality Disorder). Bateman apparently admires the careers of serial killers such as Ed Gein and Ted Bundy. Content warnings: There's not much of a plot to give away, although a twist at the end might tempt some people to see the film a second time to unravel what they thought they'd seen. My purpose here is to persuade others NOT to see this film a FIRST time; so be prepared for enough detail to satisfy any curiosity you may have. Profanity is extreme, and there are many anti-female remarks and some racist ones. Bateman kills many victims, including prostitutes and homeless people, just for amusement (several killings graphically shown, others implied). He also develops (but can conceal) murderous rages against his coworkers over offenses such as someone else having the accounts he wants or having a better-looking business card. Besides his hands, feet and teeth, Bateman's assault tools include knives, an axe, a nail gun, an automatic pistol, a coat hanger and a chainsaw. Bateman often excuses himself from a situation by saying he has to return some videotapes; the only tapes we glimpse him watching at home are slasher movies and porno films, and he apparently acts out what he watches. (As law enforcement people say: "Not everyone who watches this stuff is a pervert, but every pervert watches this stuff.") Bateman forces call girls to do things with each other as well as with him, and pays them extra for accepting violence (when he doesn't kill them). There are simulated sex acts and glimpses of nudity in several scenes. These scenes are not sexy to me, but I don't know how I'd feel if I were a teenager. Bateman keeps some of his victims' bodies or body parts, and claims to eat the brains. The film seems off-balance, as though it had been re-edited (which it was, to overturn its initial NC-17 rating). I saw this on a Saturday night and got to witness audience reaction. If all of the above weren't bad enough, several scenes were played for laughs and did get laughs. In one such scene, Bateman starts to strangle a coworker who's standing at a urinal; but the coworker happily takes this as a pass, and Bateman is so revolted by the idea of male homosexuality that he washes his hands and then runs away (thus the director, Mary Harron, links "homophobia" with Bateman's other "problems"). It turns out that there's a second reason for the film's off-balance feeling. It takes on an increasingly surreal tone, with Bateman performing impossible feats. Then we get clear evidence that Bateman is delusional (real ATMs don't tell you to insert a stray cat) and that some or all of the murders never really occurred. In the end, we realize that everything we've seen was only Bateman's version of reality. Most psycho-killer films (other than those marketed as episodes of an ongoing series) at least take the killer off the street and give some degree of closure. Not here. In fact, we don't know if the killer really is a killer or just an elaborate fantasizer, and neither does he. Canadian serial rapist/killer Paul Bernardo claims that his crimes were inspired by the novel on which this film is based. What might the film itself do? And the upcoming Summer 2000 films in the trailers consisted of sex comedies, over-the-top or comic-book style violence, and a Jim Carrey comedy about a cop with a violent split personality. Plus, the sequel to "Silence of the Lambs" (see my review of that film for some comments about Psychopathy) is due out later this year. With everyone from first-graders to senior citizens in retirement homes plotting or carrying out murders, I don't see much of the "responsible voluntary restraint" that Hollywood's been talking about. What are these studio execs thinking? I think it's spelled with a dollar sign. I've already given them my ticket price for this abominable film; I hope that you save yours. I can understand why most Christians were offended by this movie, due to some of its gruesome and sexual subject matter, however, it is important to delve further into this film to extrapolate the meaning it is trying to convey. I thought this film intelligently examined how greed and envy can lead to a loss of conscience. The film's protagonist, Patrick, is a man consumed by worldly desires, and realises that he is losing the qualities that God would want us to foster. Via his immoral activities, Patrick is further and further removed from his humanity, he substitutes materialism, greed and menage a trois's for something that is lacking in his life, love and God perhaps? This film presents a disturbing portrait of a man lacking love and understanding, resulting in greed and violence.
[Average / 4½]—Maclin, age 24 This was, by far, the most offensive and worst film I've seen in a very long time. What was so reprehensible in my point of view was that our "hero," the illustrious psycho killer, is painted as an admirable character. Successful, attractive, funny, popular, and more, he's everything most people want to be. Except for the brutal killings, of course. Compared to the mentioned "Silence of the Lambs," wherein the killers are not funny, not amusing, and all around not nice guys, this movie offended every sensibility I have. I suppose that there was an important message—that normal people are serial killers—but it came off the opposite way—that serial killers are normal people.
[1/1]—Chris, age 18 …yes, the movie has a lot of objectionable material in it. But the film does provide a very interesting and valuable social commentary. The film is about big business and corporate America and the insecurities that arise out from America's consumer-based lifestyle. Patrick is not any different than any of his "friends" in the film. They all talk poorly of women in their need to deal with their own impotency, Patrick just takes it one step further. They all are envious of one another's possessions, business cards become a status symbol.
Patrick merely takes his agression out in a more destructive manner. In fact, all of these characters are so much alike, they even have trouble distinguishing one friend from another. Their situation has become a nameless and faceless society, all of which prompts Patrick to act out on these murderous impulses of that all of the characters have, to one degree or another. Another interesting feature of the film is, and this is going to sound funny, Patrick's own morality. He can't help acting out these violent fantasies, but he doesn't want to do them. He even tries to turn himself in, but no one believes him. Society forces him to be and to remain, a killer. And his own greed fuels that. He is a tragic-anti-hero. He tries to change what he is, but is unable to. Again, as for the content, there is a lot of violence, although considerably less than I thought there would be. As for the menage-a-trois, it wasn't supposed to be arousing, or even enjoyable. It was supposed to be disturbing and again show us the emptiness of the greed and power of Patrick's life. And in the end, that is the statement that the film is ultimately trying to make—When you live your life for greed and power, and have no moral compass, ultimately you become exactly like Patrick. You may not take the lives of others, but there are different ways to kill people. [2/4] —Josh Hornbeck, age 22 …I thought it was one of the funniest black comedies I've seen in a long time. It was a fish-out-of-water story with the psychopath playing the game with the 80's-culture rules he has absorbed. The absurdity of self-absorbtion and status symbols (the scene where they were comparing business cards had me laughing to tears) is ridiculed with fantastic skill. The lead character is deadpan… he's not human—get it? Watch him throw out "witty" remarks in cigar and brandy social situations; he has studied his material and is confidently reading his script (until the detective gets involved), making fun of a society where people are willing and eager to accept what follows the "normalcy" rules even if it is obviously a facade. The directory (according to what I've heard) took a miserable book and turned it into a biting satire, turning the tables and ridiculing men, business, the 80's, music and social norms.
—Glenn, age 30, non-Christian "American Psycho" is a waste of time and good celluloid. Not only is it an offensive movie, but even if you clipped the offensive scenes the movie is still poorly made. Christian Bale is over the top in his performance so much that I never believed I was watching a real person. He looks throughout the entire movie like a little kid trying to sit still. The only time the performance works is in the killing scenes. There is no real motivation for his killing. The film presents several motives, but Bateman's behavior shoot them down.
For example, Bateman makes a reference to ed gein thus suggesting that people have two sides, a good side and an evil side. Fine, but Bateman seems to have the same personality throughout the entire movie. He is a little more over the top during the killing scenes, but not so much as to suggest a second personality… profanity is rough. Graphic cocaine use. But the worst is a threesome (unnecessary to the plot) that is graphically shown and sleazy in the way Bateman gives the two prostitute instructions. Another scene contain a porno movie playing loudly in the backround and is disgusting as well as distracting. Skip "American Psycho". I wish I had. [1/2] —Andrew, age 24 Although I refused to watch this movie, I have read the book (more out of curiosity to see why the feminists were upset). It was banned in Nova Scotia, Canada because of its violence against women. It contains graphic details of Bateman's torture and abuse of women. I have recommended to the students in my dorm that they NOT watch this movie or even try to waste their money. Having read the book I can only imagine that the movie was as bad or worse. I was utterly shocked when I saw the preview for this movie on TV. I wonder what gems Hollywood will come up with next. They need a moral and ethical over haul in the worst way. Hollywood has no boundaries—nothing is sacred or respected.
—Ellie, age 31 I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I not only saw this movie, but that my mother and sister came along! I've been a die hard fan of Christian Bale ever since I was 16, but this movie was the most boring, immoral, stupid thing I've ever seen! There were some moments of the film that I thought were quite good, but the bad still outweighs all of the good stuff.
The film was cut to get an R rating and I'm scared of what they cut out, considering the trash that remains in this movie, in my opinion, is still enough to give it an NC-17. Besides containing explicit sex scenes, it was just downright boring and too slow. As I said, a couple of scenes I actually enjoyed, but would I pay to see this again? NO WAY! Actually, you couldn't pay me to see it again. If I were you, I'd find something else worthy of your time and energy. —Maggi, age 24 I found "American Psycho" to be a dimented, disgusting, vulgar, and perverted movie. My friend and I had decided to go see it after seeing a preview. We both really liked Christian Bale who is the lead character. After sitting through about 55 min. of it we decided we'd had enough and walked out as well as getting our money back. It was extremely disturbing to see what Hollywood can actually get away with showing… there were many perverted sex scenes as well as sexual discussion, heavy nudity, language, and obscene murders. I believe they went to far with this movie.
—Stephanie, age 18 The movie version of AMERICAN PSYCHO seems tame compared to the book. But it is unfair to make such a comparison. The movie is by no means tame. It stays in the gutter where the book, despite its designer trappings, was firmly rooted… The director, Mary Harron, has no sense of irony or humor. But Harron doesn't seem interested in how people shape their times or are a product of their times. She seems to want to make a point about what she considers real sin. She doesn't seem too perturbed by the murder or the sex or the drug use. Or by the stark soulless furniture. She gives these things the usual Hollywood flair.
To her, the twin pinnacles of evil are capitalism and consumerism. And if there's any doubt, the movie makes the point for us by tying Patrick Bateman's heartless and depraved world to the man Harron wants to show us is responsible for it all—that trickle downer, boat-lifting tide riser, "Morning in America" phony, Ronald Reagan. This is nonsense, of course. Harron should put "The Scum Manifesto" back on her shelf and catch up with the times… AMERICAN PSYCHO contains nudity, graphic sex (often between three people), profanity and violence. The violence is particularly disturbing because it is tied so closely to all forms of human interaction, especially to sex which is portrayed as a communal spectator sport (Patrick's narcissism extends to watching himself in a mirror while he has sex with a woman), and a prelude to carnage. Harron even equates bloodshed with gourmet dining, a joke which begins with the film's opening credits. She tries to draw a fine line between sensual indulgence and every other kind of indulgence, but she offers no retreat from these sins. And no redemption. [1/2] —Jim O'Neill |

Interim Fire Chief Troy Spence presented a used truck from Brindlee Mountain Fire Apparatus that would meet the department's needs. The truck was priced at $79,000. Troy said the truck had low mileage and could hold 10 firefighters.
A reserve truck is important to keep the same number of engines available when one is being serviced.
"When we borrowed the money for the buildings, there was also some money that was borrowed (for a reserve engine)," Spence said.
There was $60,000 included for a reserve engine in the money borrowed, according to Spence. Spence is trying to find the additional $19,000 through savings in the purchase of new equipment. Some Homeland Security funding was able to be used for radio equipment, Spence said.
Fire Board member Ed Elkins said he had not been aware this funding was included. Spence said he had been told about it by Bradley County Mayor D. Gary Davis.
Spence said not having a reserve engine could negatively affect the department's ISO rating.
Board member Bruce Bradford expressed concern about certification a few years from now because of the age of the engine. Spence said fire engines can be recertified by having some engine work and inspections done. The Fire Board approved moving forward with purchasing the engine, if the additional $19,000 can be found.
Information on a potential tanker truck the department is considering was presented. Spence said the tanker being considered was "much safer" than the tanker it would be replacing.
Board members also saw pictures of the new engines being built for the new fire stations.
Construction on the Minnis Road station has made progress. The main walls of the structure could be seen in an updated photo of the site presented to the board. Board member Dana Burgner asked about the steepness of the driveway into the station. Spence said there is work still to be done.
"This station ... was moved forward 30 feet because they knew they could save money by not having to excavate behind the site," Spence said.
He said this affected the steepness of the area right in front of the station.
"They're (county engineering) telling me they have done the engineering work and it should work," Spence said.
The fire station, except for the bay area, will be used as a storm shelter during inclement weather. The building is constructed from cement blocks with steel rods and poured concrete reinforcement. The roof will be concrete with insulation and a rubber roof on top. Each of the three new stations will be the same.
"They are telling us that April 10 will be the completion date on this," Spence said. "I really think they can get that knocked out sooner."
Soil issues at the Waterville site are causing delays. The issues will be resolved as part of a change order to the project by the construction company. There will not be additional costs to the county, according to Spence.
The department is still working with 911 to establish whether the city or the county would be dispatched to a fire. Dispatches do not look at which has a fire station closer to the fire, but at boundary lines. However, sometimes both departments have been dispatched to areas that are unsure. Spence said he had been in discussions with the Cleveland Fire Department Chief about each department covering structures close to stations, even if they were out of the department's official boundaries.
"I believe what they said was the city line will be the city line," Spence said.
Commission chairman Louie Alford asked if BCFR would respond to a fire across the street from a county station, even if the structure was in the city.
Spence said yes.
Both departments will still call for mutual aid to the other department.

Grooms face and scratches ear.
Pit-pattering footsteps; vocalizations (on-click)
A very fast and agile pet. Perfect in PvE as he is able to completely avoid all damage from many enemies. In PvP he is mediocre. Annoying against unskilled players and decimated against anyone who knows his skillset.
I finally caught a rare one of these in The Hinterlands, second to a Brown Marmot.
Found my rare in Durotar, below Drygulch Ravine while looking for my Creepy Crawly.
My rare came as an addon
My attempts to find one of these guys in the higher level zone was doomed to failure. I wasted less time trekking over to Durotar and poking around for hares while attempting to find a creepy crawly at the same time. It took me about 10 minutes to get a rare hare.
I also found one of these in Arathi Highlands as a second pet that was tagging along with the Grasslands Cottontail.
I found one of these as second pet in Arathi Highlands as well.
I got mine in Durotar, between org and drygulch.
After looking all over Arathi Highlands for a Hare I had an idea, and started just battling every critter I came across and low and behold on my 2nd fight one turned up as the 2nd critter in the battle.
