Ehhh (160 comments)
A bit early maybe?
O.k. here is my rant, so read it or move on please.
These things are what I call netactions that are pissing me off.
1. Every freakin site wanting you to register with them, WTF! Do you freaking people know how many website one person visits? Just to get updates for Linux games i have to registar with five different download site. You might be thinking why not use the same user name and pass for each, but it is still the fact that I gotta fill out some bullcrapp wait for an email click respond back and search through the site again to find the file.
2. Piss poor "31137" dudes on news site who think they are so cool by responding to everyone as "have you even tried google?" or post links to google site because they think the questions are stupid. Instead of giving answers how about guiding the person abit throught the documentation and tell them_WHY_it work a certain way. That would be like a non-mechanicaly inclined person taking a car to the auto shop and having the mechanic give the person a Chiltons manual and saying RTFM before I'll help you.
3. Registered
4. Every freakin SCO story being posted, make a different link.
5. Websites that won't let you on because you don't want thier cookie, sure it's a trade off cuz I don't want to visit thier site anymore.
6. Pr0n sites that recycle pictures, cheap bastards.
Only a little bit longer until I finish my degree and I think about what the hell to do next. Gotta a baby on the way and now I'm starting to plan more time away from the computer. This is changing everything, I want to spend more time with the family. I want to travel more, have fun more. I guess this is my 12 step program from computers. I can't see spending so much time from my life and family in front of the computer. Beside the from what I have noticed "Geeks" are more critical of each other than anyone else. They might be outcasts but they cast themselves out among each other. Any how I wish the poloticians-oh shit here comes the storm.
O.k. I have been living in this country for about five years, and I have noticed some things about it. The mindset here is more relaxed. When a store says they'll be open at 10AM it is really +/- 20 Minutes (IN the north anyway) Driving is an art over here, by that I mean a two lane road can automatically become a four lane with room for parking, just don't hit the police when you pass them. The food is great and so is the wine. It just strikes my as being odd, when I'm having dinner some where and the police are guzzing down liters of wine-while on duty, and they even bust people for DUI, while they themselves are drunk! Any how the main complaint about this country is customer service, or the lack of. If you buy something from a store, take it home and notice it's broke, you would think you can take it back for a refund or an exchange. Well you can't if you're lucky you will get an exchange but more than likely the store owner will accuse you of trying to rip him off and will tell you to leave because your making a scene. The electric and gas companies don't charge you what your bill really is, they estimate you bill for you, and you have to pay up-even if it's too much because they will always refund you, in a couple of months or years. The telephone service, well they have DSL but are V-E-R-Y S-L-O-W at getting it around. I was supposed to have it two years ago. The closest station is two miles away! Any how enough ranting, yes I'm pissed because I still don't have DSL-even with the signature of about 600 other people in my little area that want it too! They just don't have the time, well between a three hour lunch break who can blame them.
I should be a music producer, well really I should be the guy (Yes I am male hear me roar) the decides what songs get turned into Videos, or even get put on the radio. Why do you ask? Well I'm telling you to ask me damn it! Well besides the fact that I have been playing the Trumpet, Baritone, Tube, since I was 8 Bass guitar, and Drum Machine since I was 14 I have a good ability to feel the music. Granted the only music I can actually feel to dance to is Latino, or something with a hip beat, albeit Rap, Hip-Hop, Trace, Techno, Some classical. I have a God Given ability to know what songs will make it and which will not, better yet I can also tell which country it will be a hit. By that I mean if you give me a song and ask me if it will be a hit in country I can tell you. I love music, all kinds (except country, no dissing my country brothers and sisters but I can't dig it) any how I love music, specially the underground, the street-garage music of young artists making their hearts into the notes on the sheet. I support all "non-popular" band and encourage them by donating to independent record labels. Soon well hopefully soon you will be able to goto my web site and see what I have to say about these bands. It will also help if they send me their material, and it will also help if you all who read this understand that I am in the military and Uncle Sam is busy with my future. God bless_us_all and may the angles watch over my brothers and sisters on the front line.
Well I used to think that my work experience would be enough to get my through the world-yeah right. I might fix laser's and IR imagery, but that is not enough, I don't want grunt around for the rest of my life, so I started school about two years ago. And I find it amazing how much wisdom can change ones mind. These kids that I go to school with are about ten years younger than I am and they are dumb. Well let's say %65. Remember though I got to a school with fellow military workers where we get 100% tuition assistance (the price for going where ever uncle Sam tells you!) So everyone and their mother is going, people that shouldn't go. I have a conservative (American style) look at life.
Every one has a place in society, not everyone is born to be a Bill Gates, a famous actor, a great programmer. This bullshit that people feed you " You just have to put your mind to it, you can do anything" is just to make the people that have made it feel better. Look at how many black Americans growing up in the hood actually make it as a B-Ball player or a rap star. It all a freaking lie. So you might ask what in the hell does this have to do with anything?
The answer is, as much as I want to be a programmer I won't be. I started too late in the game, and in today society a 30+ green-ear programmer is not worth the investment. So I will stick to management, albeit(this word should be outlawed) a program manager of some sort toward computers and Linux. So with that I wont get paid much either, but I don't care, if I can continue like I am now I will be happy. As long as my kids can have good clothes, great toys, and we can go traveling. To close:
Not everyone deserves an education, some don't have the capacity, and other not the desire so don't think that it is your right to have one, you have to earn it.
Is not a military preacher an oxymoron?
Freaking school, I love school, always a great place to learn "stuff".
Well at my illustrious school, University of Maryland (European campus since I'm overseas) they are some real money Nazi's. Not only do they charge full university prices, but they offer the classes in eight weeks rather than 12-14. You have just enough time to spit out what they tell you and be hurdled through the next class. Any how it's a shame also since they only cater towards the general degree's I have to take my Unix course through distance education, and those classes are 16 weeks long! Talk about extremes! Anyhow 'm going to be the only IFSM degree holder with nothing but Unix. I would go for a CMIS but they don't even offer that, well geared towards Unix cuz everything is Windows here. While taking a C++ course I had to install windows cuz the teacher would only accept programs compiled for windows, he still believe Bill Gates is god. Please tell me the world is not like this!
Well I'm just about finished with it. For my first case mod I'm pretty impressed. Not like the other lackies at the PC Wars group. Bunch of "BUy and Fly" boyz who think they are far smarter than Linux because they have the newest point releases of all software, and that they can format and reload windows. ANy how I'l through some pic on the net when it's done.
One thing I have noticed is that if one is not in the ?in? crowd your posts don?t mean too much. Well that is not really true you just have to know what to post. There are different types of posts that get modded up.
1. The intellectual post, a kind that would take a typical
2. A funny post that can crack a joke about a post made recently, or so geek-dome idiom.
3. Link posts. These are the most rewarding. You can just goto www.google.com type in the subject matter and post a few select links as your message body. This is considered the ?informative? post. Funny enough the first person to post these usually will climb to a 5 very fast. It?s funny because most geeks here know how to use google, they just don?t want to do the extra typing.
I think I?ll get a spell checker for christmas!

Tranmere manager Les Parry was left to rue his side's inability to hold onto a lead as Wycombe ran out 2-1 winners at Adams Park.
Rovers had taken the lead inside the first five minutes after Adam McGurk crashed home, however, the hosts responded thanks largely to new signing Matty Whichelow.
Signed on a month-long loan from Watford on deadline day, he headed an equaliser in the 23rd minute before playing a role in the second that saw Gareth Ainsworth net from close range.
Parry said: "You can't give two goals away, can you? They defended the lead well but both goals were gifts and we never performed in the first half.
"We have scored early on in the last three away league games now and we've lost them all 2-1. I may as well just play a tape recording of myself to the lads because I'm saying the same things.
"We can't gift goals and then we can't miss the chances we missed - it's not bad luck. The goal is there and if you hit the crossbar you've not hit the target."

Now in its seventh year, the Community Value Index® provides a snapshot of the overall value that U.S. hospitals provide to their communities-with "value" encompassing four dimensions: financial strength and reinvestment, cost of care, pricing, and quality of care.
Most acute care hospitals are automatically included in the national study, which uses publicly available data. Every year, the 100 top-performing hospitals receive the Community Value Leadership Award.
Leadership talked with James O. Cleverley, consultant, Cleverley & Associates, Inc., to learn more about hospital performance on the cost and quality dimensions of the index.
How did top performers on the 2010 Community Value Index achieve this ranking? What are they doing right?
Cleverley: The top-performing hospitals tend to have higher margins, lower debt, and greater levels of reinvestment. So they are very strong financial performers.
On the pricing side, these top performers tend to have lower inpatient and outpatient charge structures. Even top-performing hospitals with less favorable payer mixes (i.e., a higher number of Medicaid patients) are able to maintain reasonable charges, which I think is remarkable.
They achieve this primarily by keeping costs low. These organizations are so efficient on cost side that they are able to maintain lower charges and still generate a reasonable margin.
Have you dug deeper into the cost data to see where these top performers are saving dollars? For instance, are they keeping labor costs low?
Cleverley: We essentially look at the total cost per patient encounter. We use two measures to assess cost structure: Medicare cost per discharge (adjusted for case mix and wage index) and Medicare cost per visit (adjusted for relative weight and wage index).
However, if you drill into any top performing hospital's detailed cost data, you will likely find variation. For instance, one hospital may have higher nursing salaries, which contributes to a high cost per nursing day. But that same hospital might be very good at managing patients, which contributes to a low length of stay and a low overall cost structure.
So there are variances. Hospitals can achieve lower costs in different ways, whether it's a lower cost per unit, a lower utilization, or both.
What about quality scores? Your 2010 study found no meaningful differences in quality scores among hospitals. Why do you think that is?
Cleverley: Yes, there was a very tight distribution in terms of quality scoring, which was interesting.
To assess quality, we use Medicare's Hospital Compare quality data, which has two pieces. One piece looks at outcomes of care, and the other focuses on processes of care.
For outcomes of care, hospitals are being evaluated on their risk-adjusted mortality rates and their readmission rates. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services calculates these rates based on data (e.g., claims data) that it already has in house. Hospitals do not have to report anything "extra" to Medicare for these measures.
However, hospitals are self-reporting the process of care measures as part of Medicare's value-based payment arrangement. These measures assess whether hospitals are giving recommended treatments, such as giving heart attack patients aspirin on arrival.
We see less variance in these self-reported process scores than the outcomes scores. Hospitals probably recognize that they are being evaluated in these areas, that payment is tied to these measures, and that patients can go online to see how well they score on these measures. So most hospitals have put some tight quality control mechanisms in place to ensure they do well on these process measures.
I think this is encouraging because it suggests that hospitals are really focused on providing high quality of care in those process metrics. This doesn't mean there are not quality differences among hospitals. There are high-quality performers and low-quality performers. But overall, I think this is good news for the healthcare industry. It means that hospitals are really looking at quality and trying to do their very best.
But there is still room for improvement in terms of quality?
Cleverley: Yes, there are outliers. In many cases, hospitals are not necessarily performing poorly, but their scores are lower than the U.S. average for many of these metrics. Some hospital leaders are surprised to learn this. They'll look at the data and say, "We didn't realize we were below the national average. We thought we were in a good place. But now we know we need to do better."
So examining how you compare on these quality metrics can give you some tangible areas for improvement. (The quality data, including U.S. averages, is publicly available on the Hospital Compare web site.)
Yet, you did find greater variation on the cost and price metrics in the Community Value Index.
Cleverley: Yes, we saw much wider variation in hospital cost and charge structures. Everyone is driving at very consistent quality scores. But some hospitals are able to provide that care much more efficiently. At the end of the day, a hospital may have the same quality scores as another hospital. But that hospital will be better positioned for success if it can provide that level of care more efficiently.

oh no!!! data!!! how dare we use actual facts about the actual people who live in this country to make policy and create our political districts!
It strikes me as amusing that anyone can feign credulity that gerrymandering would occur if the census is taken with or without sampling.
GREAT point Heimdall! Rural America, which is now the base of the GOP support, are THE welfare and subsidy queens.
And in particular, the North sends money South. Hell, I thought we won that war.
Plebian Aristocrat,You do realize that the (D) urban areas of the US are net exporters of taxpayer dollars to the (R) rural areas, don't you? It's the rural folks who ironically, as a whole, are the welfare queens...
And now Rodgers and Hammerstein are rolling around in their graves...
"might have counted more minority voters"?But will be used for widespread voter fraud since it was moved to the White House, away for the career statisticians in Commerce that base their efforts in science and not in reelection lust.no wonder Sen Gregg was eager to distance himself from such a mockery. Plus I guess he had not cheated on his taxes so he is otherwise outside of the universe of President Obama's selection criteria
"The daisies in the dellwill give out a different smellBecause Pore Jud is underneath the ground."
The USS Bipartisanship is taking on water.
I don't see it as a big deal. Judd, comes off as a man who is not prepared for the whirlwind approach of the Obama administration. He appears and sounds like he is in need of a nap. Rejoice in the great appointments Obama has made. This position will be filled.
"He's all laid out to rest
With his hands acrost his chest
His fingernails have never been so clean."
" ... Jud was the most misunderstood man in this here territory. People used to think he was a mean ugly feller and they called him a dirty skunk and an ornery pig stealer ..."
"And when we say ... Yeeow! Ayipioeeay!We're only sayin' ... You're doin' fine, Oklahoma!Oklahoma O.K. ... L - A - H - O - M - AOKLAHOMA! Yeeow!"
The Census issue is not about undercounting minorities to the wishes of Republicans as this article alludes. Rather, the Democrats want to be able to place most resources in urban areas (Democrat strongholds) and use the massive amount of data for gerrymandering new Congressional districts; but most importantly for the allocation of federal resources (hard-earned tax dollars) to these areas. The more data collected and the more specific the data in these areas the better case to make for earmarks. The objective is to take away from middle America and distribute to the core constituencies. Sen Gregg opposed this premise and clearly found that the ramifications of severely politicizing the Census is dangerous. Now it's time for another tax-cheat appointment instead.
I'm assuming that two months from now none of these cabinet hijinks will matter to much of anyone, but for now I'm finding it all very confusing.Incidentally, I'm surprised the domain name HotAir.com wasn't snatched up in the early days of the internet by ballooning enthusiasts.

Butternut and Barley Pilaf
From EatingWell.com
Winter squash contributes a rich, full flavor to a simple barley pilaf. Gremolata, an Italian mixture of parsley, lemon zest and garlic, gives the dish a lively finish. The pilaf is an excellent accompaniment to chicken and pork, but would stand on its own with the addition of Parmesan.

"I made this as one of the soups I served last night for a regular get together with friends. I only made 1/2 the recipe, but followed a couple of the suggestions in other reviews. I used the full 8 oz of sliced musrhooms, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, about 1/2 tsp of celery salt & added 1/3 c of heavy cream at the end before serving. I might add just a litt..."
"I have not tried your recipe yet, but just had to comment on it. I have known for many years that KFC had nutmeg in the seasoning mix. Yours is one of the few recipes that I have seen that includes nutmeg in the ingredients. Good job!"
"This is a great recipe. I made 2 loaves & baked it in pans. I left one plain & made the other into a cinnamon swirl loaf. I did mix & knead my dough in my KA mixer & it worked fine. The bread has a lovely sourdough flavour. It came out with a nice crispy crust even though I did not put water in the oven while baking. I will make this recipe ..."
"Great recipe. I did use a mix of frozen broccoli & cauliflower, I also added some chopped fresh mushrooms. I left out the onions as I do not like them. I cut back on the amount of mayo as noted in some of the other reviews. I topped this with some toasted buttered bread crumbs & sesame seed seasoned with smoked paprika & a pinch of chipotle chi..."
"Don't have a pastry chef machine, or don't know what one is, don't worry. This is a great recipe. I saw that mummy had another recipe posted using the pastry chef machine & it was for a sausage roll, so I said well this should be easy enough to do without the machine. I mixed the filling as per the directions, but I did use Craisins (dried cran..."
"I have made this for years. I found the recipe on a Duncan Hines cake mix box. They called it a pound cake. It did not have the poppy seed in it, and said to bake in a tube pan. We would glaze it with just a simple glaze made from icing/powdered sugar & lemon juice poured over it on the serving plate. Try this using a chocolate cake mix & i..."
"I made these for the kids for lunch today. They were great! I used chicken hotdogs instead of beef. My batter was really thick, but coated the hotdogs very nicely. I found it easier to use a pie plate to put the batter in & coat the hotdogs. They cooked up wonderfully. I was able to make the whole package of 12 hotdogs up. My deep fryer is ..."
"I have made these several times & keep forgetting to post a review. They are so easy to make. I usually make them as stated in the recipe, although I sub bread flour for all purpose. I made hotdog & hamburger buns this morning. I use a muffin top pan for the burger buns & a parchment lined cookie sheet for the hotdog buns. Fast, easy & tasty,..."
"We have been making shortbread like this for years, minus the vanilla. My Mom got the recpe from an elderly English woman (who swore her to secrecy). She eventually passed the recipe on to me.

"Wonderful soup. It was a hit with my 88 year old FIL. I did cut back on the spices for him a bit, but added a pince of chipotle chili to my own bowl. I added some celery & frozen corn, frozen black beans, some chicken broth, yellow & orange peppers as that was what I had, and then realized I was out of diced tomatoes so used a bit of V8 juice. ..."

LONDON: Coming soon: A cure for insomnia, according to an Indian-origin scientist-led team which claims to have identified a brain chemical that plays a key role in falling asleep and staying awake.
Subimal Datta and colleagues at Boston University have found that that a brain enzyme, calcium kinase, is linked to sleep — in fact, too little of the chemical and the brain nods off, too much and it can't get to sleep.
In the study, the researchers focused on calcium kinase , which was known to be involved in sleep. They found that giving rats a drug that stopped the enzyme from getting to work in the brain made the animals sleep more.

Best Dandruff Shampoos
Cheap and Effective Dandruff Shampoo
Dandruff is nasty stuff, but a good cheap anti-dandruff shampoo can mitigate the symptoms and the embarrassment. Still, the most effective product isn't your only line of attack.
Acne Treatments, Cheap Eyeglasses, Diet Pills, Electric Toothbrushes, Facial Moisturizers, Hair Dryers, Lipstick, Mascara, Men's Electric Shavers, Mouthwash and Women's Shavers
Assuming you decide to stick with a hair-wash remedy, look for anti-dandruff shampoos with ingredients such as coal tar, salicylic acid, sulfur, ketoconazole, selenium sulfide, or zinc pyrithione. Frugal shoppers should be aware, however, that anti-dandruff shampoos aren't, strictly speaking, cheap. The best products we found, Aveeno Nourish + Dandruff Control Shampoo and Selsun Blue 2-In-1 Maximum Strength Dandruff Shampoo, start at more than 60 cents an ounce. There's no getting around the cost issue here because of the ingredients. But you don't need to use gobs of the stuff, so a typical 10- or 12-ounce bottle should last a while.
Our first pick for best anti-dandruff shampoo, Aveeno Nourish + Dandruff Control Shampoo (starting at 60 cents/oz.), has none of the specific dandruff-fighting ingredients but is formulated to soothe itchy scalps and is safe for color-treated hair. It's infused with lavender, peppermint, wheat complex, wheat germ oil, and oat proteins, along with other ingredients that include the cleansers ammonium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate.
Shampoo reviews indicate that Aveeno Nourish + Dandruff Control claims both fans and critics. On the plus side, reviews posted on Makeup Alley say it conquers dandruff and the associated dry itchy scalp, works miracles on thick, coarse and curly hair that's been ironed, feels good on the head, and leaves hair soft and vibrant. Consumers also like the mild peppermint scent and the product's ability to root out sprays, gels, and other residues, according to shampoo reviews on Epinions. On the other hand, some users are put off by the smell, and some Aveeno Nourish + Dandruff Control reviewers report that it dries out hair and has little effect on dry scalps. We also found some griping about the perceived high cost of the product.
Selsun Blue 2-In-1 Maximum Strength Dandruff Shampoo (starting at 60 cents/oz.), another good dandruff shampoo, contains zinc pyrithione, an antifungal ingredient that breaks down dead skin cells and treats the fungus associated with the dandruff. Zinc pyrithione is gentle, so you can use Selsun Salon every day, preferably by softly massaging the scalp and leaving it sit for several minutes before rinsing. Among other components, Selsun Salon contains aloe vera and ammonium lauryl sulfate. It boasts a two-in-one formula, which means you don't need a separate conditioner. Selsun Salon is safe for all types of hair.
This is the strongest anti-dandruff shampoo in the Selsun line, and the manufacturer recommends using it at least twice a week. Based on the dandruff shampoo reviews that we read, the product works. Selsun Salon reviews on Amazon say it reduces itching and dry flakes without irritating users' scalps. The scent is mild and easier on the nose than Selsun Blue, comments a dandruff shampoo review on Drugstore.com. Selsun Salon also scores points for its lather and cleaning action, and leaving hair manageable and the scalp feeling moist.
Back to top »Whether you need a drugstore item or a prescription, it's likely to be cheaper at a Kroger, Target, or Walmart pharmacy than at Walgreens, CVS, or Rite Aid.
Health clinics at retailers such as CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Target, and Kroger tend to charge less than doctor's offices for routine treatment and vaccines.

In what was a rare move, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott initially teamed up with U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to oppose the merger involving Fort Worth-based American Airlines, but he has now reversed course.
Abbot's said the new deal with American Airlines and U.S. Airways satisfies his concern that the merger would negatively impact services to some of Texas' smaller airports.
Originally published on Fri December 7, 2012 5:20 pm
By an overwhelming 74 percent margin, American Airlines pilots have voted to ratify the tentative contract hammered out with the bankrupt carrier. Voting ended Friday at noon.

Sony's PlayStation Vita is struggling to make a dent in the U.K. games market, according to Amazon U.K.'s Keta Patel.
As reported by gaming-enthusiast, while Patel feels that the handheld's strong relationship with PlayStation 4 will give it a boost in sales, he ultimately doesn't feel it will meet Sony's expectations.
This is despite the impending launch of the PS Vita Slim, which Patel notes is priced higher than the original model.
Based on the console's performance at the retail giant, he states that Sony's device is 'struggling, absolutely in terms of the market segment.'
PS Vita Slim is due out this month in the U.K., priced at £180.

Draconian Tides Pt.4
I led Will outside, it was pretty tough getting him through the house considering that he was bigger than he had been. When we finally got outside, Will asked "so how do I use my abilities?"
"I don't know, I think that you're supposed to come into contact with your element" I said, I walked over and picked up a hose. I turned on the water by twisting the nozzle nearby and walked back over.
"you ready?" I asked.
"About as ready as I'll ever be" he said with a nervous smile.
"Don't worry, it doesn't hurt, otherwise, I would have figured out how to shift to dragon form on my own a long time ago" I said. I turned the water hose towards him and let go of the tip, the water hit him dead on, but none of it was hitting the ground. "Why is there no water on the ground? you've sprayed more than enough for it to start running off" Corbyn asked.
"Will, any input as to why it's not hitting the ground?" I asked.
"I seem to be absorbing it, I can feel it building up in my body" he said.
"Kinda like me" I said, I turned the water off to look at him and just like when I had absorbed the electricity, he looked somewhat bloated and had sprouted fins on his body. "Alright, now then, you should be able to use any of your abilities if you focus enough" I said
"What about you, what kind of abilities do you have" he asked me.
"Well, I can shift back to human form" I said.
"We know that, but what other ones do you have" he asked again.
"Uhm...uhhh" I stuttered, in all honesty, I hadn't bothered to even try out any of my abilities. I remembered the adrenaline rush I had the night I changed. "Well, I can somehow raise my reflexes beyond my normal abilities, though how to do it I don't know" I added.
"Anything else?" he asked.
I looked down in defeat and said "no, nothing else".
"Well, why don't you practice your abilities too" Roger said.
"Hmm, that's a great idea" I said, I walked back into the sunroom and found an electric socket. Bending down, I reached over and put my finger near it, then focused. A jolt of electricity jumped from the socket onto my finger and I began to shift to dragon form. When it finished I stepped back outside when I got hit by a jet of water. "dude, what was that for?" I asked.
"I thought it would be fun, and it was" he said, beaming proudly.
"oh yeah, do you think this is fun" I said, I raised my hands and focused and a bolt of lightning jumped out of my hand and nailed Will. "OW" he screamed "that really hurt dude, I'm filled with water, it's still coursing through me" he said. I walked over and placed my paws on his back and pulled the electricity back out of him. "Thanks" he said.
"No problem" I said back.
"So, you can shoot electricity from your hands, wonder what else you can do" Roger said.
"That reminds me, shouldn't dragons have breath powers" Corbyn remarked.
"Yea, they should" I said, I turned away from them and opened my mouth, I focused on using the power when suddenly I heard thunder. I opened my eyes and watched as a large sound wave traveled towards the tree and when it hit, the entire tree began to shake violently from the force. After a bit, it stopped, though the tree had been stripped of it's leaves. "wow, that was awesome" Corbyn said. I turned towards Will and said "okay, your turn to try out your breath ability".
"Okay, stand aside" he said. We watched as he opened his mouth and after a few seconds, a jet of water shot out and hit the ground, I looked at where he was hitting and saw that he was destroying the grass. "Stop, you're destroying my parent's lawn" I said, he shut his mouth and said "sorry". I accepted his apology and decided to teach him how to shift back to being human. "Okay, to change back to human form, all you have to do is picture your self and focus" I told him. He closed his eyes and began to shrink, the scales also began to recede and vanish. He opened his eyes and looked down at himself, he said "wow, I'm back to normal, I kinda miss being a dragon though" he said.
"Well, to shift back, just go and touch one of the water puddles over there" I said, pointing to the lawn. He began to walk over when my grandma stepped outside and said "Aaron, I need you to head down to the store. I said "okay, you guys don't mind if I head over really quick, do you"
Everyone said "go ahead, we'll wait for you".

My friend has a bathroom with deep brown cabs, orange concrete floor and avocado tile. What paint color should she choose for the walls? I'm having a hard time with recommendations. She used a groupon, so I believe it has to be behr or glidden. Thanks in advance! |
Follow-Up Postings:
What about the color that's in there? It seems to look nice with the tile. |
I think she really wants to change it, but I will suggest that. |
I think a white would be nice. It's hard for me to think of something else that would go with green tile... and white would look sharp against the dark cabinets. |

I like the present color. Perhaps if it was just freshened up with a new coat, she would like it better. |

Creamy white light green Greenish yellow? Maybe a beige |
- Posted by AnnieDeighnaugh (My Page) on Wed, Jan 8, 14 at 22:25
SW pennywise is a deep rusty tone that looks good with the tile. There's also a sage green that is several shades darker than the tile that also looks nice. Otherwise I'd try to pick up a taupe shade with a green undertone, or look for specific colors in the flooring. |
Court, that is what I had told her. Thanks for the advice. Patricia, she is determined to paint the bathroom. I think the color does go but in person it is not as nice and close in color and in the photo. Annie and nosoccermom, Thanks for the photos they help so much! I sent them to her. |

Puma released a pack of denim First Rounds earlier this year, and even though it stands in contrast to the above pictured model's original name, it's only right that the legendary Suede lowtop join in as well. This new drop from Puma's premium The List line includes three Puma States (formerly a British nickname for the Suede, now a title for select releases) covered in denim with varying degrees of contrast stitching. Have a closer look at a beige/orange edition and two indigo styles below, which will arrive at select retailers Friday, October 12th.

Is it a coincidence that the worst storm to ever hit the east coast is happening at the same time we go to the polls to either re-elect a Muslim or replace him with a Baal-worshipping Mormon? Tune in tonight and find out!

"And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken."

I have done this a few times using an emi 6 | 2 USB card and a laptop. The
problems I ran into were not really computer ones though - the biggest issue
was separation between tracks. On a medium-sized stage, I had a saxophone
and a guitar amp close-miked, and you really couldn't hear much difference
between the signals from these and the stereo overheads on the drums - the
drums just bled into everything! The one useful thing was having the
keyboard and bass going in through DI units, giving them total separation
from everything else. If I was going to do it again, I'd try to persuade
the guitarist to split his signal and send some of it via a POD or similar
direct to the sound card. Then I'd have an isolated signal to work on
afterwards for that too.
The best-sounding live recordings I've been involved in have been ones where
we just used a crossed pair of mics in front of the band - after all, with
that much bleed between tracks multitracking doesn't give you the
opportunity to go back and correct mistakes, so assuming the room (and the
band) sounds good, there's a lot to be said for just trying to capture that
sound as faithfully as possible. Of course, if you've got mics and channels
spare there would be no harm in taking isolated signals from bass and keys.
Also might be an argument for putting a mic in the bass drum as well. The
rest of the drum kit will be all over every channel, but the kick drum can
easily end up needing reinforcement in a final mix. And of course if you're
involved in the heavier end of music you can always use the kick drum
channel to trigger a sample for that death metal 'click'.
Best of luck!

Of course Whitlock is right - look at the damn TV deal. And there's a literal cap on the amount of league revenue that can be spent on players. Then there's a massive revenue sharing system in place.
It is
to lose money as an NFL owner unless you paid so much for the franchise that the debt service is overwhelming.
Clark is a silver spooner; he's never paid a dime for this team. He could lose every game for the next 5 years and he's still make money.

7 Signs He's Dating You For Your Money
By YourTango
6. He's a deadbeat. Use your common sense. Being unemployed or working part-time doesn't mean a guy is a gold digger. But if he doesn't have career ambitions and is content to spend your money, that's a red flag.
Kirschner warns that guys who want your money might "dream big in terms of your future together, but earn little and have no plans to amp up their career." Johnson advises women to watch out for the guy who "encourages you to enjoy your opulence [and doesn't] support fiscal responsibility."
7. You just have this feeling… Listen to your instincts. "If you have a visceral feeling a man is dating you for your money, you are correct, he is," says Johnson.
If you're seeing a majority of these signs in your relationship, you might be dating a financial opportunist. But not all monetarily-impaired men are out for your cash; a man who relies on your money can make a wonderful husband and boyfriend. "If you are comfortable (and cognizant) a man is dating you for your financial stature, and this is compatible with your standards, enjoy yourself!" says Johnson. New Marriage Trend: Men Marrying Wealthy Women
Spira agrees: "If a woman knows she will be the breadwinner and she is fine with that arrangement, then it can work."

Regular readers of these pages are well aware of the importance of the adverse effects that environmental factors during fetal development can have on the subsequent health risks of the offspring.
This is again documented in a study in rats by Emily Hayes and colleagues from McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, published in the latest issue of PLoS One.
In their experiments, they compared the fetal development and pregnancy outcomes in female Sprague Dawley rats raised either on a high fat diet (HF – 45% of calories from fat) or a control diet (CON – 16% of calories from fat).
Prior to pregnancy HF-fed dams had significant increases in body fat, serum leptin and triglycerides.
In addition, the HF-fed dams exhibited altered vascular development in the placenta, as well as increased hypoxia as well as a more than 3-fold increase in fetal death and decreased neonatal survival.
As the authors surmise, altered placental vasculature in animals raised on a high-fat diet may result in reduced oxygenation of the fetal tissues contributing to premature demise and poor neonatal survival.
Certainly in humans, increased maternal obesity and weight gain are associated with a significantly increased risk to both the mother and infant, an issue that I have previously discussed.
The fact that such problems can be reproduced in experimental animal models certainly points to important biological consequences of nutrition and weight gain before and during gestation that can have important consequences for the infants.

April 5th, 2012 at 10:11 amI'm curious as to why the control would have been 16% fat? It seems quite low, considering we normally recommend 25-35%fat…
Not a Rat says:
April 5th, 2012 at 5:09 pmFirst, to paraphrase Gilbert Ryle: rats are not humans; they are rats–a tautology which is sometimes worth remembering. At best, this rat study only hints at what may happen in human women. Hardly enough evidence to hang our hats on just yet.
Second, this post presupposes that a high-fat diet will always result in obesity, when the various high-fat iterations of low carb or paleo diets suggest otherwise.
Lucy A. says:
April 5th, 2012 at 6:59 pmWhen it comes to animal studieus I have one reservation–when it comes to poison ivy and oak rats rabbits and many other animals are not harmed by the toxic substances within hoever that is not the case for use humans so there is a big difference is theya re realy different then us. That being said when it isn't healthy to be overweight adding a weight increasing issue like maternity to the coumpound can be truly detriamental to either the mom or child.
However, mamuals should be compared to mamuals not rodunts
Lisa says:
April 7th, 2012 at 3:14 pmHigh in what fats? Trans, saturated, polyunsaturated? It'd be helpful to know what the study focused on. If they're treating all fats the same, then their approach is pretty erroneous. As someone else commented, other studies/diets suggest otherwise about high fat diets — but they have to be the right fats.
PJ says:
April 18th, 2012 at 5:10 pmWhat I see in research is that there is a bizarre, surreal, unprofessional obliviousness to the fact that any intake is more-than-one-thing.
For example, you could do an experiment making people eat 3 pieces of whole grain bread per day with nothing else done, and you'd be studying fiber, and calories, and carbohydrates, and satiety, and blood sugar-slash-insulin, and lectins or other things specific to the food-element itself. It wouldn't just be about "bread."
Now in most studies I look at, they ply some unfortunate little creature–often, creatures that aren't supposed to eat fats at all–with VEGETABLE fats or even worse fats. Horrible stuff that nobody with a brain would expect to be healthy anyway. So after feeding rodents hydrogenated soybean oil or something like that, there is then this announcement, paper, etc. all using titles like how "high fat" is bad for you and everyone takes this to mean, "because a mouse fared poorly on soybean oil, humans should not eat steak." This is propaganda, more than science.
When I see a study announcing some experiment like that, I expect to see in any abstract note of the specific fats used, the specific creatures used, and the quantity/frequency involved. Any less information is simply a platform for misinformation and misunderstanding on the part of the public.
Sorry to be critical — this is a hot button apparently. I've only respect for you, thanks for all your awesome blog posts Dr. Sharma.

Wise powers Arkansas victory
OMAHA, Neb. -- When you score one run or fewer in five of eight games and still show up at the College World Series, it's clear fortune is on your side as a baseball team.
So it should come as no surprise that the conditions at TD Ameritrade Park favored offense as light-hitting Arkansas catcher Jake Wise stroked a line drive into the left-center field gap Saturday with two outs in the bottom of the second inning against Kent State pitcher David Starn.
"I thought it was a double," Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn said.
The ball almost never carries in this second-year home of the CWS, but with a late-afternoon breeze blowing out and the air full of moisture after morning rain showers, Wise's line drive turned into a home run -- his second of the season and first since Feb. 19.
It marked the Razorbacks' first homer as a team since May 19, the last game of the regular season.
And Wise's blast gave his team a two-run lead en route to an 8-1 victory over the upset-minded Golden Flashes in the opening round of the CWS.
"The ball just kept going," Van Horn said. "It was big. Big for our psyche. For our confidence."
Arkansas' bats needed an infusion of power. The Razorbacks won two key postseason games by scores of 1-0 -- the super regional final over Baylor on Wise's two-out single in the 10th inning, and a second-round regional defeat of host and top-seeded Rice.
Four of Arkansas' five victories in the postseason came by one run before it arrived in Omaha.
"He just left it out over the plate," said Wise, batting ninth in the Hogs' lineup. "I was able to square it up."

Starn hadn't allowed a home run in 70 innings and had allowed only three in 114 innings before Saturday.
"I left it up," Starn said. "Right over the middle of the plate. He put a good swing on it."
Wise also delivered a two-run single with two outs in the eighth against reliever Ryan Mace to give Arkansas its final margin. And Van Horn's No. 8 hitter, center fielder Matt Vinson, sliced a two-out double to left field to score two runs in the fifth that put the Razorbacks up 5-1.
"My 3- and 4-hole hitters didn't get a hit today, and we scored eight runs," Van Horn said. "Somebody got it going. Those guys down there, they produced. That's a good sign."
As for Wise, Van Horn said he relies on the sophomore from Houston primarily for defense after the Hogs lost star catcher James McCann, drafted last season in the second round by the Tigers.
Wise hasn't committed an error this year. But his offense has progressed slowly.
"It's been a little bit of a roller coaster," Van Horn said.
After Saturday, that roller coaster for Wise has provided two consecutive games better than any thrill ride.

This is a one room exhibition that spills slightly into the adjoining room. For me, a veteran of many NPG exhibitions this is a weak effort for those that chose the exhibition material. If you intend to spend £12.75 or £14 inc gift aid, then I expect to see material that stirrs the grey matter and makes me want to come back for more. With this I was inclined to get around as quickly as possible as most of the photos on display were minute and in black and white. Most were smaller than the size of a postcard. Man Ray clearly knew many of his contemporary A list celebs and managed to get them to sit for him - all of which were in the same bland pose that is hackneyed by the current rash of wannabes. There are some nudes in the style that was current when my grandfather was a boy but you will need your spectacles to make any sense of them. This is cetrainly for me not worth the expected entrance fee. I suggest that you save your money and view the Light from the Middle East free exhibition at the V&A.
