Every winter, the professional ice carvers at Sculpted Ice Works whittle and chip away at large blocks of ice to create Crystal Cabin Fever, an indoor, interactive display of expertly formed frozen water. In the event's infancy, the exhibit was limited to a life-size ice cabin, but it has since blossomed to include a unique annual theme, live carving demonstrations, and an ice slide—totaling more than 100 tons of ice in all. In the fall, Sculpted Ice Works hosts Night at the Ice Museum, with ice sculptures and fall fun, and factory tours and a museum on ice harvesting are open year-round.
Since its birth as a single-bay tire shop in 1929, Jack Williams Tire & Auto Service Centers has vastly expanded its array of vehicle services and spawned more than 20 additional shops throughout the state. During each of the three included oil changes, a team of knowledgeable car whisperers convinces motors' mouths to open wide as they swap soiled oil for up to five quarts of fresh, standard engine juice and install a new filter. Steel steeds with a flat tire can lurch into the shop and ask one of Jack Williams' experts to repair it; if the puncture wound is fixable, drivers can enjoy lifetime repairs and rebalancing on that one tire. To top it all off, rewards-booklet-toting folk can enjoy a bevy of additional savings including a 50% discount on a wheel alignment and a state safety inspection, as well as free shuttle service and complimentary midservice performances of "Greased Lightning."

As an offspring of Jay-Dee, Inc., an athletic-shoe store that opened up shop in 1946, SneakerKing has, well, big shoes to fill. Online and at locations throughout eastern Pennsylvania, the shop sells men's, women's, and kids' athletic shoes from popular brands, including Adidas, New Balance, and Under Armour. It also stocks more outdoorsy and casual shoes such as Sorel boots and Sperry Top-Sider boat shoes, which can be filled with rocks and used as an anchor when sailing.
Split Rock Resort nestles entertainment-packed quarters amid the quiet forests of the Poconos Mountains, making for a travel destination that's as thrilling as it is serene. After a day spent careening down four-story tubes, surfing on a flow rider, and boiling eggs in the hot tubs of the indoor water park, guests can recover from the hysteria in their Galleria two-bedroom suite, its comfortable confines bolstered by a full kitchen. During the warmer months, enjoy quiet time on the emerald terrain of the 18-hole golf course or on the many hiking trails in the area. Clans can diversify their group outings by taking in a flick at the onsite movie theater or slinging orbs down an eight-lane bowling alley with glow-in-the-dark pins (golf, movies, and bowling not included with this Groupon). Four onsite dining options keep energy stores and family fork fights up as guests dine on pizza, classic American fare, libations at the two bars, and chilled treats at the old-fashioned ice-cream parlor.

Vino 100 serves cheeses and imaginative pasta dishes in its cozy storefront, with live entertainment on Thursdays and Fridays. Start off a meal with a cheese plate, bedecked with one to four types of dairy ($9/one cheese, $20/four). Choose from brie, fontina, Brazos Valley–smoked gouda, and a Brazos Valley cheese of the month. Small plates such as the artichoke dip with crab and spinach ($12) or the goat cheese with raspberry-chipotle sauce ($6) whet appetites and fill bellies to half capacity. Send hunger packing with a stick and bindle by ordering a filling entree such as the truffle-oil mac 'n' cheese ($8), brimming with four italian cheeses, black-forest ham, egg noodles, and a dusting of smoked gruyere. Or try a savory shrimp-and-sausage cheesecake ($12), crowned with a crawfish rémoulade instead of traditional whipped cream and cookies. Polish off the meal with delectable dessert ($6 each), such as the s'mores panini, a combination of marshmallow fluff, graham crackers, and Nutella, encased in a ciabatta bun and grilled to gooey goodness. Stay alert by downing an affogato, a scoop of vanilla-bean ice cream topped with espresso, ensuring you never again fall asleep during an all-cymbal band recital.
After 22 years in the air force, Water 2 Wine–founder John McFadden established his first custom winery in San Antonio seven years ago. Already the business has spread as far as Milwaukee to the north and Denver to the west, bringing the country's vinophiles more than 100 wines, each of which are fermented on site and available for tastings every day. Those who want to get more involved in the crafting process may sign up to make their own wine and steep themselves in each step of the operation, from selecting the grape varieties, beginning the fermentation process, withstanding a wait of about 45 days, and finally christening their creation by smashing a tiny boat against the bottle. All custom-made wines are plastered with personalized labels made from one of Water 2 Wine's templates or images that customers design from the ground up.
Tired of simply dressing up her rooms, designer Kerry White needed a way to engage clients on a deeper sensory level. Adopting the motto of "wine, art, and song", she opened House Wine to match her eye for interiors with the refined tastes of vintages and the lilting sound of live, local music. Sporting both an earth-toned dining area and sun-dappled outdoor lounge replete with cushy, white couches, the wine bar leaves plenty of space for guests to explore an extensive wine list, sample cheese plates, and clasp handheld bites of pineapple-cinnamon empanadillas. Bards from across Austin fill the space with tuneful sounds, and local artists bring life to walls with their paintings of abstract landscapes or other, more beautiful walls.
Today's Groupon gets you $60 worth of French cuisine for $30 at Aquarelle Restaurant Français, the elegant restaurant the Austin Chronicle calls "one of a handful of restaurants bold enough to offer rabbit, sweetbreads, and other organ meats to the sometimes squeamish Austin palate." It serves gourmet cuisine, such as black truffles and fresh duck foie gras, in a romantic turn-of-the-century home in downtown Austin.
Lauded as a 'Neighborhood Gem' by its diners on OpenTable, Eleven Plates' chef Dom Labeaud has elevated the trend of small plates to new heights with twists on contemporary American dishes. This inventiveness is evident in the seared diver scallops, a dish punctuated with grilled corn, spanish chorizo, corn-nut dust, and citrus aioli, which was described in Delicious Mischief as "far more creative, and?more satisfying? than typical takes on the seafare. Inside the dining room, bottles of wine stacked horizontally fill shelves on a wall that faces out toward dark, wooden tables and rich leather chairs, and patterned wallpaper lines the walls above the curving bar. Eleven Plates also serves lunch, offering dishes such as redfish lettuce wraps and caprese sandwiches.
The Cigar Room offers patrons a welcoming locale to peruse a wide range of slow-burning smokes while enjoying a cozy atmosphere. Nestled in the heart of Lakeway, The Cigar Room boasts an inviting lounge tailor-made for winding down and a walk-in humidor that showcases a constantly expanding selection of quality cigars. Visitors will be able to make a selection from 21 varieties of Torres Cigars, which range from $5–$20 per cigar. Containing masterfully crafted blends with a Texas twist, Torres Cigars provide smokers an opportunity to sample top-notch tobacco in a striking package. Additionally, patrons can kick back and relax next to the bar, where a selection of wines and beers await to wet the smoke-parched whistles of distinguished smokers and budding connoisseurs alike. Use today's side deal as an excuse to bond with any and all paternal units this Father's Day while effortlessly puffing on The Cigar Room's soothing coronas and torpedoes.

How to make money playing the glyph market {WoW}
Nov 14th 2011 8:15PM Agree with Wuts, can't think of any other profession that netted crafters more gold in a week than Glyphmas did for scribes pre-cata. Millionaires were made solely from this one event in WOW history (those that were prepared).

Nov 14th 2011 7:37PM @Abaddon is your server Oceanic by any chance, I think I know exactly what glyph market you are on about. I know one guy who made a killing pre-cata with the ink changes on this particular realm (assuming you are on the one I'm thinking of).

Sep 2nd 2010 1:58AM Interested in the reporting of AH botters. I don't bother reporting them anymore on my server after doing so for a month (6 or 7 times). The person was clearly botting/running a script, (the one where they run backwards to the mailbox and keep the linear route back to the AH). The GM's try and make you feel good about yourself but in reality the botters don't go away. Perhaps they got a 2 day ban IDK but it seems you need to be inventive to get rid of them. Or hope they stupidly admit to their BS tactics :P

psorry to reply to my own post, but i was just going to say you are probably
better off in the long run if you can't afford to get the focusrite as well
as the better mics to get the focusrite and the cheaper mics. that way when
you decide it's worth upgrading the mic you will have a spare (still quite
usable) mic for when the more expensive one doesn't 'sit right' in the mix.porl

MIDDLEBURY — In its home opener on Tuesday, the Middlebury College women's basketball team shrugged off both a series of injuries and visiting Norwich in earning a convincing, 72-44 win.
The 3-4 Panthers harassed the 4-3 Cadets into missing 14 of their first 15 shots and took a 23-2 lead with 10:25 gone. Eight Panthers scored in that stretch.
Then, after the Cadets sank four three-pointers to get within 15 at 34-19, the Panthers scored the final six points of the first half to lead at the break by 21.

Yet another Avon product that surpassed my expectations. I use these pads in conjunction with the Rejuvenate Regimen and my pores appear less noticeable, my skin tone is more even and people tell me I look like I am glowing.
I am not a representative, but for the price, Avon's Anew line is well worth a try.
These pads aren't too strong, but they do the trick for me. I recommend using them after a hot shower/bath or after steaming your face for about 15 minutes. When I have done my face, I use the pad on my decolletage and hands (the hands will betray your age!)
One bottle lasts just over a month for me, as I like to use them a little more than they suggest.
Like some others here I am not a regular Avon user but I wanted something non-messy and effective. I bought mine for 20$ the first jar and then found a sale and bought 2 for 20$. This gets rid of the minor acne I still have:( and takes off the flakiness. My skin is used to AHA's so with a little moisturizer applied afterwards makes it a very effective product for me. My face and decollete look 10 years younger after using this. I sometimes use it on a daily basis which for me has accelerated the benefits even though directions say use every other day. Will repurchase. And yes you can cut the pads in half but at my age I use whatever is left on the pad on my neck and chest.Great deal if you find it on sale through Avon, I like being able to return my purchases if something isn't right.

I've been using this every other day for a couple of weeks now. Get a bit of tingle, but generally no dramatic improvement in the texture of my skin, either overnight or with extended use. In direct comparison with the Paula's Choice RESIST Weekly Resurfacing Treatment - this stuff falls way short, except for price. I think I will shell out the extra money for the stuff that works.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I tried this product on a whim in order to receive free shipping on Amazon. The cost was only $6.99 so I figured why not. I like glycolic based products and find they are more effective than retinol at reducing acne, offering a more even skintone and even imparting a subtle glow if you're lucky. I find this product is most effective for me when used at night and either every other day or weekly. Using it more than that irritated my skin and left a residual sting throughout the day. I could see a difference in the morning, a subtle gradual difference than was more apparent over time. My pimples cleared up faster, my skin had a glow & acne marks were starting to fade. This is my first time using this but given the price & the results, I would recommend and buy again.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I've had this for about a year. My initial use didn't really show any results, but I just started using again recently and my skin looks fantastic. I have some acne scarring and discoloration from sun worshipping in my teens. I've also felt like my skin has somewhat lost its luster and was looking quite dull.
After only a few days of using this, I feel like my skin glows from within, the acne scarring/redness is less noticeable and the texture of my skin is baby-butt smooth. My baby wrinkles around my mouth are also slowly disappearing!!
Someone even commented on how beautiful my skin was. Yeah, thats never happened before.
Amazing product from Avon. Will continue to repurchase!
I bought this product because I heard glycolic acid is good for clearing acne. I got them from Avon.com for 25$. When I used them for the first time they stung my face a little and the next day my face was red but nothing I couldn't handle. I still use them every other day but only at night. They seem to keep my acne under control and I can also see that some of my old acne scars are lightening. You have to use a moisturizer when you use this or your face will get very dry.
I love this stuff! My only complaints are that it is often out of stock, (this product came out several years ago, so that ought to tell you how great it is), and I also find the packaging to be a bit bulky/wasteful, but I think you can probably recycle it. Really improves softness, texture, and helps reduce breakouts. I also think with regular use it improves fine lines. I don't think any other company makes anything like this. Really innovative! It's a little on the pricey side, so I wait for a sale. I just got 2 packages for $30, and it's a good buy at that discount.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
When I used this regularly, it cleared up all of my little breakouts, but I find it a little pricey for regular use. I liked the glycolic acid level, even though I found a bit tingly and uncomfortable afterwards. If I found this on sale, I'd probably use it again.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this product. Found it in my moms bathroom, and thought it wouldnt hurt. So I tried it on one of my "me" days (when I do hair and skin treatments to myself) and the next day. My skin felt absolutely wonderful, so smooth and soft. Also all the little breakouts I had... disappeared!!! I love this product and will def make sure I buy it again. Since my mom never uses it. Also if youre asking why on earth am I using this, cause I am obsessed with skin products and not getting wrinkles. Already Im using Olay Regenerist.... :) buy this if you dont already have it

A tad early for ice skating, perhaps, given the current weather in Chicago, but not for Shimer! Bev Thurber is a Shimer faculty person who holds a variety of degrees, from MIT to Cambridge University to Cornell, and from Nordic languages to math and other fields. Here's what she has to say on "Euclidean Ice Skating." As a non-skater -- who has never taken IS 2, this is the start of a wonderful education for me. How about you?
Figures are what gave figure skating its name, though this seems to be peculiar to English --- in other languages, figure skating is called artistic skating. They're geometric designs that skaters draw on the ice with their blades. The official set of figures used in competitions, called compulsory figures, are all based on the figure eight. Figures have not been required in competition since 1991, and few people do them now.
Skating figures requires a lot of concentration. The goal is to get the line on the ice exactly right, then to go over it two more times. The lines left on the ice, called tracings, are the important part. In figures competitions, the judges stand on the ice and watch the figure being skated. Then the skater leaves and they examine the tracings carefully. Tiny mistakes, invisible to a spectator watching from the sidelines, can determine the outcome of a competition.
One example of a figure is the backward serpentine, which consists of three circles in a line, just touching one another. The skater starts at the intersection of two of the circles, skates (backward on one foot) halfway around the middle circle, then, without changing feet, glides all the way around the end circle. Once she or he has reached the other intersection point, she or he changes feet ("push...with vigor," advises Maribel Vinson Owen (The Fun of Figure Skating,98)) and completes the remaining 1.5 circles on the other foot.
This figure isn't very advanced --- it has no turns, and the backward change of edge, its main feature, is one of the basic building blocks used in more advanced figures. But it's quite difficult to learn, and many skaters have struggled with this figure. In fact, T. D. Richardson writes that the backward change of edge in figure skating "has been aptly described as the pons asinorum of skating" (Modern Figure Skating, 1st ed., 34).
Richardson's statement links this figure directly to Euclidean geometry. The pons asinorum (`asses' bridge') is the nickname of the fifth proposition of Book I of Euclid's elements, which is read in Integrative Studies 2, a course (also called Foundations of Math and Logic) that we offer at Shimer. It says: "In isosceles triangles the angles at the base are equal to one another, and, if the equal straight lines be produced further, the angles under the base will be equal to one another." (Euclid, The Elements, trans. Heath, I.251)
Euclid's proof of this proposition is, like skating a back serpentine, notoriously difficult for beginners. The Shimerian student assigned to do it on the board in IS 2 always has a hard time with it. The difficulty and the diagram of the proof, which looks something like a bridge, earned the proposition its nickname by 1780 (Euclid, I.415).
Euclid is hard for the same reason that figures are hard: you have to get it right. In geometry, you get a set of building blocks in the form of axioms and previous propositions. In figures, they're circles,
turns, and changes of edge. A new proposition, or a new figure, is a combination of the building blocks at hand, and no more. Studying Euclid teaches students (and all of his readers) how to think logically, just like studying figures taught many people how to skate well.
Euclid may not be very popular these days but his Elements remains an excellent introduction to logical reasoning. Students (and perhaps many otherds) aren't always enthusiastic about studying him, but they realize how important understanding his work is when they get to Lobachevsky's
Theory of Parallel Lines, the next reading in IS 2. That's the one that makes them want to poke their eyes out.
And you?

There are some classics that are, indeed, must reads. And by classics, I do not mean greeks or romans, though many of them deserve our attention as well. In this case, I mean works that shape and shaped our understanding of what it is to be human, raise essential questions, offer important understandings of both specifics and of broader matters.
Black Metropolis is a classic. Of course, this assertion is not surprising to many.
Black Metropolis is a must read for Chicago-ans. Again, not surprising.
Black Metropolis both helps us understand the world and ourselves. This last bit, if those around me these days are a measure, is somewhat more challenging. Why does it help a white, female, only-recently-returned-to-Chicago college president understand herself? Why is it important to Shimerians -- indeed to all Americans and Shimerians and more, today?
Here's why:
First: As I will always argue, making sense of our world requires us to refuse to be ahistorical. We are shaped by the context within which we live and that means doing what we can to know our history. To know Chicago, for example, is not merely to know where to get a good gluten free donut today (I do) or even to notice the differences and continuities between today's Chicago and the Chicago one first experienced (I do notice such things -- where did that S curve go? where is my old friend hte seminary coop bookstore in the basement?). Knowing Chicago means more though -- and to be responsible for learning more. For me, that included reading this great classic work.
Second: Of course, because Shimer is in Bronzeville, Black Metropolis is particularly important. It provides a mix of ethnographic and quantitative data approaches to understanding how limiting the residential accessibility of the city occurred, was experienced, and continues to shape today's experience of race and class.
Third: This book does require some self reflection. Perhaps all important books do. By asking readers to look directly at the realities -- both the wonders and the horrors -- of racism, of black culture, of church and press and work, and institution building -- the book made me ask myself what I am doing and why, how I benefit from my many encounters with the legacy of the black metropolis -- every day. And, it makes me ask myself how I did not know -- nor was I required -- to know much of this in any educational venture I pursued. A number of years ago, I worked on a Black History month presentation -- and of course, all the "new history" I learned was a significant part of the education of my colleague with whom I worked -- for he was raised to know his history -- african american history -- and I was not.
The latter perhaps, is the most crucial reason for me to read the book. Some of you wil have read it, and many of you will bring very different histories to the reading than I. But I can assure you, I will be re-reading Black Metropolis for some time.
For those who want, here is another way to learn!
Is it possible to construct an entire course that is constructed out of "great books" by using only texts that are in some sense from Chicago or connected to Chicago?
I think the answer is yes. See if you agree.
Here are some potential people to include. Let's get to readings later?
Chicago through the Humanities:
Writers: Richarrd Wright, Sandra Cisneros; Saul Bellow; Nelson Algren (and by a degree of separation Simone de Beauvoir); Ray Bradbury; Phillip K. Dick; Hemingway; Carl Sandburg; Gwendolyn Brooks
Arts and Artists: Frank Lloyd Wright; Mies van der Roehe; Edward Gorey
Theologians and or religious studies scholars: Valerie Saivings; Mircea Eliade; Wendy Doniger
Philosophers: Mortimer Adler; John Dewey; Leon Kass; Martha Nussbaum
Chicago through the Social Sciences:
Herbert Simon
Milton Friedman
Franz Boas
Thorstein Veblen
Jane Addams
Other resources: Field Museum
Chicago through Natural Sciences:
Manhattan Project scientists such as Enrico Fermi
Ralph Pearson
Subrahmanyan Chandrasekher
I admit it, I had to search for science people, and this is pretty minimal, but I did know about the Manhattan project. The others are "off the top of my head." This tells me there are likely many more. Hmmm on more scientists -- given how many Nobel Laureates are or have been in Chicago.
Any suggestions?
As you know, I recently asked a few people if they'd like to contribute a guest blog for Evocations. Here is a guest blog from Landis Masnor, recent graduate and former student representative to the Shimer College Board of Trustees! Hurrah. And, please note: this is NOT a picture of Landis. NOr am I claiming, via hte post's title, that Diogenes is a Shimer alum.
I recently came across a small blog post on Diogenes the Cynic and loved it. I immediately fell in love with the character and have since digested an entire book of anecdotes and sayings. Having only encountered one story of Diogenes during my time at Shimer (which I'll mention later), I wish I had read more. The man is enchanting, for starters, because he combines being a complete societal rogue with such realistic commonsense. For instance, in the book I read by Robin Hard, there is a short section on astronomy including encounters and sayings of Diogenes on the topic. Now, even the new Shimer student has to quickly come to terms with the way Plato, Aristotle, and others organize their ideas. One has to accept certain things, 'this is just the way a great mind/argument/philosophy works'. These givens include the idea that the physical world bears largely upon the True philosophical reality. And hence, no one asks why Aristotle wrote an entire book, On the Heavens. So it's hilarious when Diogenes is asked again and again what he thinks of the stars, he claims he's never visited them. When someone speaks about their theory of the planets, Diogenes asks when exactly they returned from visiting them.
The snark is appreciated, but the literally down-to-earth-ness was something I hadn't seen in Socratic philosophers and it was a joy to find someone who seemed to belong in a different zeitgeist. Because most of Diogenes' surviving sayings and doings are preserved in fragments from various authors, when I read Hard's compilation, Diogenes seems like he belongs among the pre-Socratics in Natural Sciences 1. But Diogenes was a contemporary and personal opponent of Plato and Aristotle. What is striking about Diogenes the dog, is not tenets of the philosophy, per se. That is, I would not have taken such an interest in him if he had said "all is water" and called it a day, or even if he had spoke about a divided line. Diogenes is really a pleasure to read because he is a radical polemicist who lived his radical values. These qualities would make reading Diogenes an easy-to-swallow remedy for the reader who treats their Kerouac scroll like the Gandharan scroll. Below are some fragments from the Bounded Spirit article on Diogenes.
In winter Diogenes walked barefoot
in the snow. In summer he rolled in the hot sand. He did this to harden himself
against discomfort.
"But aren't you overdoing it a little?" a disciple asked.
"Of course," replied Diogenes, "I am like a teacher of choruses who has to sing
louder than the rest in order they may get the right note."
A student of philosophy, eager to display his powers of argument, approached Diogenes, introduced himself and said, "If it pleases you, sir, let me prove to you that there is no such thing as motion." Whereupon Diogenes immediately got up and left….
"Why is it, Diogenes, that pupils
leave you to go to other teachers, but rarely do they leave them to come to
"Because," replied Diogenes, "one can make eunuchs out of men, but no one can
make a man out of eunuchs."
The beggar lived a purely practical life, focused on being truly free. This included freedom from bodily demands; Diogenes is often said to have masturbated in the market place (where else?). "If only one could relieve their hunger by rubbing their stomach!" he said. Nicknamed the dog, known for his outlandish and antagonistic nature, the Cynic's few interactions with Alexander the Great are quite endearing. The following fragments are from Hard.
"Alexander once appeared before him
and said, "I'm Alexander the Great King"
"And I," he replied, "am Diogenes the Dog."
Alexander the Great once approached the vagabond and asked, "Aren't you afraid of me?" "Well, tell me this," asked Diogenes, "are you a good thing or a bad one?" and when Alexander replied, "A good one", he said, "Then who's afraid of what is good?"
In my final semester at Shimer I had the privilege of studying Greek with a few students and Harold Stone where we translated the following anecdote of Diogenes. Once Alexander, impressed by Diogenes, approached him while he was sunning himself and asked, "What can I give you? What do you desire?" and Diogenes replied, "Stand out of my light." Many sources include after this story, that Alexander so admired Diogenes he remarked to others, "If I were not Alexander, I would be Diogenes."
Diogenes begged to teach people generosity, lived in squalor to teach them humility, and prided himself on having mastered himself, while others were slaves to the chains of life. Like a stray dog ruining a public picnic, Diogenes is reported to have run forward after the Olympic winners were announced and proclaimed that he was actually the Olympic victor over all humans in the category of excellence.
But he is impressive for more than his quick wit and committed asceticism. There is a practicality and charm to his life that shames more sophisticated philosophers, 'like their unnecessary ideas on the stars'. While there are many funny comments he makes about Plato's long windedness (a fact any reader of the Republic knows too well) there are two I can't ignore that I found at the Bounded Spirit.
Plato was discoursing on his theory of ideas and, pointing to the cups on the table before him, said while there are many cups in the world, there is only one 'idea' of a cup, and this 'cupness' precedes the existence of all particular cups.
"I can see the cup on the table,"
interrupted Diogenes, "but I can't see the 'cupness'." "That's because you have
the eyes to see the cup," said Plato, "but," tapping his head with his
forefinger, "you don't have the intellect with which to comprehend 'cupness'."
Diogenes walked up to the table, examined a cup and, looking inside, asked, "Is
it empty?"
Plato nodded. "Where is the 'emptiness' which proceeds this empty cup?" asked
Diogenes. Plato allowed himself a few moments to collect his thoughts, but
Diogenes reached over and, tapping Plato's head with his finger, said "I think
you will find here is the 'emptiness'."
On hearing Plato praised, Diogenes said, "And what's so wonderful about him, a man who has practiced philosophy all this time and never caused pain to anyone?"
In sum, I am happy that my first full book after Shimer was Hard's translation on Diogenes. It provides comic and ideological relief from the sanctimony and deepity of Socrates. There are many excellent snippets I would like to include in this post, and too many profound ones I have omitted for the humorous. Because of that I will end with my favorite two (found in Hard) and encourage you to discover Diogenes for yourself.
When asked what weighs most heavily on the earth, he replied an uncultivated man.
When asked which weighs more heavily, lead or gold, he replied: A lack of culture.

So we're still tired from all that partying yesterday. Turning eight really wears a website out! Today's game is short and sweet and easy to write about. It's Nak The Crunkodile. And you're gonna love it. Unless you die.
See you after the jump for the full breakdown.
In Nak The Crunkodile you're a Crunkodile… at first. Run down the vertical maze and grab coins while avoiding bad guys and death blades.
The maze keeps moving, so you have to as well. The faster you can platform, the further you'll get, but don't forget the coins! They're not just for show!
As you get enough cash, you can buy bonuses, new levels, and even new characters. As you can see, I'm not very good at Nak The Crunkodile but maybe you will be! Oh, and be aware, there's a side game too. It's sort of random so we can't really tell you how to play.
Run your crunkodile, build that score as high as it'll go, and let us know what it is before Monday! Highest will be our Quality Post Champion. Side QPs given out if you unlock all the characters so we can see them.
The game is OK, but the SKULLPUNK'D mini game is lots of fun. I'm hoping to earn enough points in that to buy all the upgrades!
Character list: That last dude is pretty nice...he's the hardest to get though since the idols seem to show up pretty randomly. You just have to keep playing until you have all five before you can unlock him. And yes, that's how his name is displayed...he's basically a rectangle with a white eye.
They DESPERATELY need an option to turn off the music without turning off all sound!! I need to be able to hear what I'm doing, but the music fills me with crunkin' rage... Either way, I have found all idols, unlocked all the characters, and my bests are: Depth: 389.8m Kills: 13 Coins: 1191 (Skullpunk'd minigame is definitely the highlight of this game - who doesn't love Plinko™, right?) -=C=-

State Ballots Tackle LGBT Issues Tuesday
on Nov 02, 2009 at 11:17 amNovember 2, 2009
Voters in three states on Tuesday will decide on measures of importance to the LGBT community: Maine's Question 1, Washington state's Referendum 71, and a non-discrimination ordinance that would protect LGBT residents of Kalamazoo, Mich. [Link]
Support Kalamazoo non-discrimination here.
Op-Ed: Six Tests for Equality and Fairness
on Nov 02, 2009 at 10:19 amNovember 1, 2009
Political battles this fall in six different parts of the country could have a profound impact on whether the United States will extend the promise of equal rights to those who are not allowed to marry simply because they are the same sex as their partner. [Link]
Help WA, ME and Kalamazoo Win on November 3rd: Spread the Word About the Campaigns Today
on Oct 29, 2009 at 04:02 pmWashington:
Who we are: Approve Referendum 71 is the campaign to preserve domestic partnerships in Washington State. By voting to approve, voters retain the domestic partnership laws that were passed during this year's legislative session, including using sick leave to care for a partner, adoption rights, insurance rights, and more.
What we need: We need phone bankers to get our supporters out to vote. Washington is an all mail-in ballot state, and we need to ensure our supporters put their ballots in the mail. Also, youth turnout is a critical component of our campaign, and youth turnout historically drops in off-year elections. So we need a lot of help to turn them out.
How you do it: Sign up here to make remote calls for Approve 71. We'll then contact you for a training, and you can make GOTV calls.
Who we are: The No On 1/Protect Maine Equality campaign is working to protect Maine's recently-passed law legalizing marriage equality for same-sex couples. Our opponents have put the issue on the ballot for Nov 3, 2009. Because of Maine's early voting election laws, people are already voting at the polls, so we need help immediately to turn out our side at the polls.
What we need: We need you to devote a few hours to Call for Equality. Call for Equality is a virtual phonebank set up so that you can call Maine voters wherever you are. Much of Maine is rural, where canvassing isn't effective, so we need to reach these voters- along with other supporters- by phone. All you need is a phone and internet connection. No experience required! We'll provide the training, and all you need is a a few hours to help get a win in Maine.
How you do it: Click here to sign up for a training and your shift. There are lots of times available for your convenience.
Kalamazoo, MI:
Who We Are: The Yes on Ordinance 1856 / One Kalamazoo campaign is working in Michigan to support the City Commission of Kalamazoo's twice approved ordinance for housing, employment, and public accommodation protections for gay and transgender residents. Opponents forced a public referendum on the ordinance so dedicated local volunteers, led by former Stonewall Democrats Executive Director Jon Hoadley, are working to ensure voters say YES to fairness and equality and keep Ordinance 1856.
Why The Urgency: In the final weeks, the opposition has gone all out with aggressive disinformation and misleading red herrings to try to defeat the ordinance. This includes signs that say "No to Discrimination" (even though voting No actually supports continued discrimination of GLBT residents), transphobic door hangers and fliers, and now radio ads that falsely suggest that criminal behavior will become legal when this simply isn't true. The Yes on Ordinance 1856 supporters are better organized but many voters who want to vote for gay and transgender people are getting confused by the opposition.
How To Help:
1) Help the One Kalamazoo campaign raise a final $10,000 specifically dedicated to fight back against the lies on the local TV and radio airwaves and fully fund the campaign's final field and GOTV efforts.
Give here: http://www.actblue.com/page/3-2-1-countdown
2) If you live nearby and can physically volunteer in Kalamazoo sign up here. If you know anyone that lives in Kalamazoo, use the One Kalamazoo campaign's online canvass tool to remind those voters that they need to vote on November 3rd and vote YES on Ordinance 1856 to support equality for gay and transgender people.

on Oct 20, 2009 at 10:45 amOctober 19, 2009
Autumn Sandeen highlights the campaign to pass an LGBT-inclusive non-discrimination ordinance in Kalamazoo, Mich.: "When there are so many non-LGBT people of faith volunteering their time to keep an ordinance in place that protects LGBT people from discrimination, that speaks to me that there is more than one faith-based value system in play. Basically, LGBT people have allies in faith communities." [Link]

Wolfson Keynotes Triangle Foundation Fundraiser in Michigan

The night was capped off by speech given by Evan Wolfson, founder of Freedom to Marry. Wolfson spoke about the great inequality suffered in all areas of life by Michigan gays. "In this state, there is not a single statewide protection at any level, in any area of life for these families," Wolfson stated emphatically. "You indeed labor and suffer and deal under a constitutional amendment that reinforces and cements the second-class citizenship that already existed for these families in Michigan. This is intolerable." [link]

Michigan State Representative Pam Byrnes wants to change state law to recognize marriage equality. The Democrat from Washtenaw County's Lyndon Township was scheduled to launch an effort to repeal marriage discrimination at the annual gay rights Michigan Pride event at the state Capitol on Saturday.

U.S. Rep. John Conyers, a Detroit Democrat, said Saturday in an interview with Michigan Messenger that the votes are in place in the House Judiciary Committee, which he chairs, to repeal the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).

Exclusion looks even dumber now
on Jul 18, 2008 at 10:59 amJuly 18, 2008
As Michigan wages a mostly unsuccessful struggle to retain good jobs and well-educated workers, its policy of excluding gays (or exempting them from rights and privileges enjoyed by other citizens, which is the same thing) looks stupider with each passing day. [Link]

Did anyone else have a problem with a loss of appetite and a desire to eat during phase one? I'm having a hard time even forcing myself to eat.
South Beach Diet - Phase I Loss of Appetite and Desire to EatView Full Version : Phase I Loss of Appetite and Desire to Eat MellieInWI 01-07-2008, 02:00 PM Did anyone else have a problem with a loss of appetite and a desire to eat during phase one? I'm having a hard time even forcing myself to eat. LoveMySgt 01-07-2008, 02:42 PM ME! I have a hard time eating, always have. It's always been a struggle for me to eat 3 times a day, let alone 6! My first time on ph1 I had to set my alarm and made sure I ate at certain times during the day. I never had to force myself to eat, meaning I would feel ill at the thought of eating but sometimes I did have to just suck it up and eat what I planned for that meal or snack. It's been hard and I think my weight loss is affected by it. I am also not sure that people without this problem (including my own doc) understand it. Schmoodle 01-07-2008, 02:58 PM I had it some, but it passed. I was tracking calories at the time, and I set a lower limit as well as an upper limit because I found some days I just wasn't eating enough. My lower was 1300, and if it looked like I wasn't going to be close, I'd add a snack or something. It's really important to eat enough. GONNABE165 01-07-2008, 03:08 PM Some days I have that problem just depends on what my menu looks like as some things keep me full longer than others pamatga 01-07-2008, 03:22 PM I have gone out to eat twice since I began Phase 1. I eat what is on plan and in fact I scoped out these two restaurants to see if I could follow this food plan and when I was certain that I could those are going to be my choices from now on. Anyway, yesterday I made myself eat breakfast because of being on this food plan. Usually, when we go out to eat for dinner after church I have just enough milk to take my herbal supplements and that is it. I figure I am paying for that food and I want to eat it. And, no, leftovers from a restaurant just don't taste that good IMO. I did somewhat force myself to eat last night to get that supper meal in because I had eaten "until full"(as Dr. A urges) at dinner and I wasn't yet hungry. I think a person could remedy this by purposely eating less for a couple of meals until hunger reoccurs. Phase 1 is only two weeks. I have 12 1/2 years of working recovery from OA and I have the saying "3 meals with life in between" echoing in the canyon between my ears. Eating snacks goes against my mindset but since this diet is set up this way I just have a "little" something. My suggestion for the person who just doesn't feel hungry eat the smallest amount of food you can tolerate while on the plan. No one says you have to eat 15 nuts. Eat 5 if that is all you think you can "stand". I do think that if you are swinging between either not wanting to eat vs wanting to binge, it might be because that is the way you ate before and as they say, "old habits die hard". This is a trick I used to do when my natural hunger appestat would get mixed up by constant binging. This is what I did so I am not suggesting that you do ---just passing this along. I literally did not eat another bite until I was truly hungry. Sometimes, it would take almost 24 hours before I would feel hungry. Then, I was careful after that to eat something when I would feel twinges but not that knawing hunger you can get. Once that was established I had little or not problems identifying true physical hunger. The main goal of this is to quit eating from your head (like it is noon and I should eat now) to when your body tells you to eat. I suspect that you either have an eating disorder or you had one. I would think that by the time you started adding some carbs in your hunger would return. IF it were me and I was having this problem, I would "purposely" have a carb (maybe 1/2 of a normal serving) that does trigger your appetite. Another idea is ease up on the water. That might be filling you up too much. Another thought that I had is you are accustomed to high flavor foods and the initial "blandness" may seem so dull. I think that is why so many foods have those additives like HFCS and MSG---those are flavor enhancers and they are added for a reason---the manufacturers want you to eat more. If you eat more you will buy more, etc. Again, I just think this is all the process of getting accustomed to different tastes in foods. Try adding some spicer seasonings to certain foods that are bland. That should also get your saliva juices flowing and back eating the foods you need to lose the weight. One last thought: have you been diagnosed with depression or are you experiencing an unusual amount of stress or grieving. Those are both appetite killers and inducers. If that is the case, maybe speaking to a person in the mental health field might help you as well. MellieInWI 01-07-2008, 04:06 PM I don't have an eating disorder unless you count being addicted to carbs as one. And as far as depression, I am on meds for anxiety, but I have been for years. I was just commenting to my husband that I'm actually happier than I have been in some time so I highly doubt I'm depressed. It's not that I don't WANT to eat, I just don't have an appetite. I've been a carb eater for my whole life and it's gotten me to the point that I need to lose weight. I could probably force food down if I needed to. For example, today I've had two pieces of breakfast cheesecake (in the recipes section), coffee (black) and a swig of V8. I was going to stop and pick up a salad on my way into work, but I had no hunger whatsoever. I'm only here for a few hours so I'm going to make sure I eat some chicken stir fry with lots of veggies tonight. I was just thinking maybe my body is trying to get used to eating less carbs. Before the diet I would easily eat 75% carbs in a day. Now dropping that down, I thought there was some diet related explanation. I have never had problems eating before. Ever. Schmoodle 01-07-2008, 04:54 PM Mellie, I think it's quite normal to have a loss of appetite in Ph1. I had it and I know I've heard other chicks mention it. You are doing well, I think it will resolve as your body adjusts if you stick with it. If you really don't want to eat a meal, then just try to eat a snack instead. You don't want your body to go into starvation mode. Of course, you are the best judge, and if you think it's something more than this going on, then you would want to see a doctor. murphmitch 01-07-2008, 07:11 PM I just started Phase I and I not only wasn't hungry, I was slightly nauseous this morning. After a few hours, I finally was able to eat 1/2 cup of cottage cheese. I feel better now. It also seemed like I was in the bathroom all day yesterday and in fact weigh 3# less today. I hope the nausea doesn't reoccur though. 38withfreckles 01-08-2008, 12:19 AM Murphymitch - I had the same thing happen yesterday! I couldn't believe it when I read your post. My birthday was on Sunday, so I had a BIG dinner: steaks, hashbrown casserole, cake, etc. I got sooooooo sick last night, and I weighed 3 pounds less this morning! I was so excited that I was money ahead at this point! I think it was the buttery casserole. Today, I had no appetite most of the day, and I finally ate some olives at 2:30. I NEVER NEVER lose my appetite, so I was very thankful for the feeling. I drank water, diet dr pepper, and crystal light. I started Phase I today, and I did pretty good. I won't do a 'food confession' yet b/c I didn't obey the rules 100% today. I'll get 100% on board tomorrow. I'll also get to exercise class if my stomach settles down tomorrow. little chick 01-08-2008, 08:55 AM Hey chicks, I do not eat snack if I am not hungry. I always eat my three meals. More than not I end up not eating my morning snack. I can't imagine eating when I am not hungry. browneyedgirl77 01-08-2008, 05:04 PM I also had a loss of appetite on P1. I think it's common. Personally, I've never eaten so much in my life. It was hard for me to adjust to eating so many meals in one day. I usually skip my morning snack. I'm just not hungry between breakfast and lunch. After getting the girls together in the morning I usually don't get to eat until 8-9am. It just doesn't make sense to me to add in a snack when I'm not hungry. vBulletin® v3.6.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

Recovery Act:
California's Use of Funds and Efforts to Ensure Accountability

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) specifies several roles for GAO, including conducting bimonthly reviews of selected states' and localities' use of funds made available under the act. This testimony is based on GAO's bimonthly work in California, where the Recovery Act provided more than $85 billion--or about 10 percent of the funds available nationally--for program funding and tax relief. This testimony provides a general overview of: (1) California's use of Recovery Act funds for selected programs, (2) the approaches taken by California agencies to ensure accountability for Recovery Act funds, and (3) the impacts of these funds. This testimony focuses on selected programs that GAO has covered in previous work including the use of Recovery Act funds by the state and two localities' --City of Los Angeles and County of Sacramento, Highway Infrastructure Investment, and the Weatherization Assistance Program. GAO also updated information on three education programs with significant Recovery Act funds being disbursed--the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund (SFSF), and Recovery Act funds for Title I, Part A, of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended, and Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA),. GAO provided a draft of this statement to California state and local officials and incorporated their comments where appropriate.
(1) State and Local Budgets: Despite the influx of Recovery Act funds, California continues to face severe budgetary pressures and estimates a current shortfall of as much as $21billion --roughly one-quarter of the state's annual budget expenditures. California's cities and counties are also struggling with budget problems. According to officials from the City of Los Angeles and County of Sacramento, Recovery Act funds are helping to preserve essential services and repair infrastructure but have generally not helped stabilize their base budgets. (2) Transportation Infrastructure: According to California officials, 100 percent of California's $2.570 billion highway infrastructure Recovery Act apportionment has been obligated. The state has dedicated most of these funds for pavement improvements--including resurfacing and rehabilitating roadways. (3) Weatherization Assistance: As of January 25, 2010, California had awarded about $66 million to 35 local service providers throughout the state for weatherization activities. State and federal requirements, such as prevailing wage rates, as well as the implementation of these requirements, have delayed weatherization and, as of February 26, 2010, the state had weatherized only 849 homes--less than 2 percent of the 43,000 homes that are estimated to be weatherized with Recovery Act funds. (4) Education: As of February 19, 2010, California had distributed approximately $4.7 billion for three education programs, including the SFSF. Local education agencies plan to use more than half of these funds to retain jobs; however, a majority reported that they still expect job losses. Also, cash management issues, related to federal cash balances and the calculation and remittance of interest, remain, but the California Department of Education has taken preliminary steps to resolve them.(5) Accountability: California oversight entities and state agencies have taken various actions to oversee Recovery Act funds, including training, risk assessments, on-site monitoring, and audits. The Governor established the Recovery Task Force to ensure funds are spent efficiently and effectively, and the State Auditor and Inspector General also have key oversight roles. (6) Jobs Reporting: Recipients reported that 70,745 jobs were funded in California during the last quarter of 2009. However, about 70 percent of these jobs were in education and were not reported using the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) latest guidance, and therefore were not calculated consistently with other jobs reported.

O.co Coliseum, Oakland, California
W: F. Liriano (7-8)
L: G. Gonzalez (9-8)
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Minnesota pitcher Francisco Liriano was able to keep his emotions in check when he got behind in the count. After that, controlling Oakland's hitters was almost as easy.
Liriano rebounded from his worst start of the season to go seven innings and Michael Cuddyer hit his team-leading 16th homer of the season as the Twins beat the Oakland Athletics 9-5 Friday night."He commanded the strike zone a lot better this time," Minnesota manager Ron Gardenhire said. "When he did get behind in the count he was able to flip some balls over to get back into the count, which made a big difference. That was something he couldn't do last time."Liriano (7-8) wasn't sharp but did enough to beat the A's for only the second time in nine career starts, finishing with four strikeouts and two walks.The erratic Minnesota lefty, who was knocked out of his previous start by Detroit after 2 1/3 innings, pitched in and out of trouble and had runners on first and third with one out in the fourth and sixth. Both times, Liriano got David DeJesus to ground into inning-ending double plays.In four starts since the All-Star break, Liriano is 2-1 with a 3.22 ERA. Still, he knows he got by without his best stuff."I was getting behind in the count to most of the hitters," Liriano said. "It was a tough night for me to make an adjustment. I was getting behind in the count too much."The Twins backed him with plenty of offense.Trevor Plouffe scored the go-ahead run on a double play in the third and added a pair of RBI singles, and three other players had two hits apiece, as Minnesota won for the third time in its last four games.Oakland went into the game with the highest team batting average since the All-Star break but had only eight hits against the Twins, three of which didn't leave the infield.Josh Willingham homered twice but the A's didn't do much else and dropped their second straight. They also committed a pair of costly errors, including one by starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez."We didn't play very good defense today," Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. "We made a couple of errors that got Gio's pitch count up."Plouffe had only two hits but was on base all five times up and scored three runs. He reached by fielder's choice in the first against Gonzalez, on a throwing error by Oakland third baseman Scott Sizemore in the third, and on another fielder's choice in the sixth.Sandwiched in between was his run-scoring single that drove in Ben Revere in the fifth which gave the Twins a 4-2 lead. Plouffe also had an RBI single during a four-run eighth.Cuddyer added a three-run homer in the eighth, as Minnesota beat Oakland for the fourth time in six games this year."We were just kind of nickel and diming them ... and just kind of went from there," Gardenhire said.Willingham's home run off Liriano in the first briefly tied the game at 2. He added a three-run shot in the eighth against Jose Mijares to make it 9-5.Hideki Matsui went 3 for 4 for the A's but the rest of the offense did little.They didn't get much help from their pitching, either.Gonzalez (9-8) allowed five runs and nine hits over 5 1/3 innings. Oakland's All-Star left-hander struck out five but walked three and made a costly throwing error in the third which led to Minnesota's go-ahead run.Plouffe reached safely when Sizemore's throw pulled first baseman Conor Jackson off the bag. The next batter, Joe Mauer, hit a comebacker to Gonzalez but the A's pitcher threw wildly into center field, allowing Plouffe to move to third.Cuddyer then grounded into a 4-6-3 double play, Plouffe scoring to give Minnesota a 3-2 lead.The Twins opened the fifth with three straight singles to make it 4-2. Ben Revere had an infield hit, stole second then scored on Plouffe's single.Gonzalez continued to struggle in the sixth, allowing a pair of singles before issuing back-to-back walks to Drew Butera and Revere, the second forcing in Delmon Young.Minnesota broke it open with a four-run eighth when Cuddyer hit his 16th homer of the year.Jason Kubel's two-run double in the first gave the Twins a 2-0 lead.Game notes
It's the 10th time in Willingham's career he's hit two home runs. ... Liriano is 4-3 since coming off the disabled list June 6. ... Matsui was honored by the A's in a pre-game ceremony commemorating his 500th career home run. ... Oakland SS Cliff Pennington extended his career-high hitting streak to 13 games.

International Edition
While you're frying up some eggs and bacon, we're cooking up something else: a way to celebrate today's food holiday.
Considering February is both Great American Pie Month and National Cherry Month, the universe seems to be trying to tell us something: Have a slice of cherry pie already! (Conveniently enough, February 20 is also National Cherry Pie Day.)
To make a good cherry pie, you've got to start with the right cherries. Bing, Lambert, Montmorency, Rainier and Royal Ann are just a few types available. Each have their own distinct characteristics, but most are farmed on the west coast. While it's not quite cherry season just yet, pie cherries can be found almost year round in the frozen section of your grocery store. The best kinds of cherries for pies are tart and a little sour. Bing, Morello and Montmorency cherries are some of the better options for pie since they hold up well in the baking process and have a great tart flavor.
Wow. I had never been able to eat "THE" cherry pie. I wonder how it taste... Mmmm!!!
I am no longer sure the place you are getting your information, but good topic. I needs to spend a while studying much more or understanding more. Thanks for wonderful information I used to be on the lookout for this information for my mission. Price of Cormar Sensation http://cormarcarpets.webs.com/cormar-carpets-sensation

For me its the worst on the first death and happens randomly on the next deaths. It has not changed for different champions I play nor what happens around me for it to occur.
just out of curiosity, you said it was an issue rendering the deathrecap screen...could there be a way to force an early one? so like maybe when the game starts, it begins with a "dead" phase (ala deathrecap) and then you spawn (say .5seconds after the match starts so its not even like a huge issue)? [edit] as i read that back it doesnt really sound feasible
This hasn't affected me since the new patch. I also lowered the visuals in game and my ping and FPS are much higher too.
Associate Software Engineer
Yea, here's my file from League of Legends/Contents/LoL/Config I had to I had to change it from a .cfg to a .txt because the file uploader on the forums kept telling me it was invalid.
The same issue happens on all deaths. A second before the animation occurs (Nidalee's spear is a cm away from me), the entire screen freezes, and then I am suddenly dead. I have the issue on my MacBook Late 2009, but on my MacBook Pro 15" Retina (the most recent model, 16 gb ram, nvidia gtx, 2.5 ghz) it runs perfectly at 60 fps with no errors ever, even in loading. I've also noticed my Macbook 2009 will not load on the loading screen until the mouse changes into the glove-pointer for the game. It just stays at a certain stagnant point.
hi this bug is extremely annoying. I play zyra a lot and it has really ruined my ability to use her passive.

What in the world is going on? Today I read two conflicting articles regarding the global shortage of food for people and the worldwide abundance of food for pets.
The first document stated that there is a severe shortage of food for humans and literally thousands are starving on a daily basis. Then the other document, which was separated by just a few web page clicks away, stated that four out of five pet owners are spending $5 to $7 billion dollars annually in order to feed their animal companions gourmet meals. It seems pet owners - who can afford it - are splurging on food purchases loaded with added antioxidants, protein and vitamins because they consider their pets as members of their family.
Again, what the what?
Thank the heavens food consumption or lack thereof for humans is moving to the forefront. For example, the University of Minnesota Institute on the Environment (UMIE) looking into the food shortage in a unique and innovative way. Scientists at this institution have discovered that existing land dedicated for crops could feed a billion of additional people without adding hardship to the environment. This is important since the population is increasing.
Because farming, deforestation, and fertilization activities account for close to 35% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions, particularly in Brazil, China, India and the United States are and other UMIE and other reports reveal that states that "feeding a growing human population without increasing stresses on Earth's already strained land and water resources may seem like an impossible challenge", but it is not.
There are countless worldwide studies underway by various research institutions seeking to focus on improving natural food systems in targeted regions, so that crop actions may make it feasible to reduce damage to the agriculture's environmental and at the same time meet basic eating requirements of billions of people.
People in West Africa and many other places need a sustainable source of animal protein so they will be discouraged from hunting and consuming "bush meat". The latter consists of many sub-human primates, pangolins, duikers, bats, etc. Both HIV, Ebola and Marburg originated in animal species, and consumption of bush meat (which is also available in France, England, etc.) presents a threat to the world's population. In the Philippines, people have contracted rabies from handling and eating dog flesh, and people in Africa have died of anthrax from consuming a dead water buffalo. Battered (breaded, not beaten) whole fried rats that look a lot like corn dogs are available in London. Helping to provide people with healthy protein is a really important challenge in helping them toward better lives and preventing the emergence of horrendous viruses such as Ebola.

Quiksilver Women's Harbor Maxi Dress
This dress is double lined in the top and hits right at floor length. The fabric is light (but not see-through) and doesn't pull the top down as you walk. FYI: The sizing on this brand is women's not juniors.

For the Love of the Game
Tuesday, June 12th, 2012
In our June 2011 issue, we introduced you to Rick Marin, a sports-challenged father struggling between maintaining his hipster identity (as he calls it) and adapting to his 5-year-old son's newfound love of "The Game." Now, Marin has released the short story as a Kindle single called Keep Swinging. Fathers and sports lovers alike will resonate with Marin on his journey from believing the "Final Four" was a quartet of apocalyptic superheroes to discovering he had something in common with a Neanderthal Steelers fan. Click here for your own copy of Marin's Kindle single—just in time for Father's Day!

Cooper agrees Posh deal - Report
The struggling Championship outfit have been on the hunt for a new chief since parting company with Darren Ferguson earlier in the week. Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe emerged as Peterborough's first target, but he rejected the opportunity to move to London Road. Posh therefore turned their attention to other candidates and Cooper has emerged as the best qualified, with Kettering chairman Imraan Ladak agreeing to allow his man to leave. Cooper will remain in charge of Kettering for Saturday's Blue Square Premier fixture against Cambridge United, but he is then set to take over at Peterborough. The 40-year-old has yet to sign a deal, but the contract has been agreed and he is expected to start his new job on Monday.
