Tour terms: A bluffer's guide

The Tour de France is a mysterious beast, much more than meets the eye and far more than a simple matter of men racing for the finish line.
This simple glossary unravels some of the mysteries of the Tour – and bicycle racing in general – and will help to make watching it all the more thrilling.
Aerodynamics are the most important explanation for the quirks of a bicycle race.
They explain why the field looks so different to the field in a marathon, why teams are so important, and why, when a group of cyclists gets as much as ten minutes in front of the main group, nobody panics.
Riding close behind another rider cuts drag, allowing a cyclist to use around 30 per cent less effort for the same speed.
Essentially, aerodynamics feed a central paradox: coming first in a bike race at any point before the finish line diminishes the chances of being first at the finish.
Like a school of fish being pursued by a shark, a bunch of cyclists knows it is much better off together, but nobody wants to be at the front, where the wind's sharp teeth bite.
The peloton
A French term for a group of cyclists. The word peloton (French for ball) is applied to the biggest bunch of riders in a race. To get "dropped" - or left behind by the peloton - is to suffer all the way home.
What words are spoken, what thoughts are thought, what knowing glances are passed in the professional peloton will remain an enduring mystery to all of those destined to only ever know the sport from the sidelines.
A team has nine riders. A good team has eight of those willing to give everything for their top rider.
Cadel Evans' 2011 tour victory is almost as much about the strength of his BMC teammates as about his own grit.
Footage of the 2011 tour showed Cadel sitting in the middle of a long line of red BMC jerseys, protecting his legs for as long as possible.
The 2012 tour has 22 teams, mostly European. Many Aussies will be barracking for riders from the new Australian team, Orica-GreenEdge.
The riders who help the top riders to win are called domestiques. They may also be seen ducking away to the team car and fetching bottles and instructions from the team officials.
The glory of the Tour de France unfolds over three exhausting weeks, with 21 stages, each an athletic feat of Herculean proportions. There is one stage per day, plus two rest days.
Each day's stage produces a winner. Winning a Tour de France stage will be the crowning achievement of a lifetime for many professional cyclists, and sees them mount the podium for the traditional kiss from the podium girls.
Most stages are between 150 kilometres and 220 kilometres, with all riders starting together in a group. The start of the tour is characterised by flatter stages, while the mountain stages tend to come later.
General classification
The winner of the Tour de France is the rider who is fastest over the three weeks. It's possible he might never win a stage, so long as he finishes near the front in each.
The fastest rider at any point in the race wears the yellow jersey - the near-mythological maillot jaune.
A rider who could win the overall race is said to be in contention for the general classification. Some teams, like Orica GreenEdge, have only a slim chance of winning the general classification (GC), and are aiming for stage wins and the other jerseys.
Australia's Cadel Evans (hurrah!) and the UK's Bradley Wiggins (boooo!) are considered the leading contenders for the GC in 2012.
But in three weeks of racing, plenty could happen to change that.
Almost all stages have "intermediate sprints", where riders take points for finishing in the top few positions. The sprinter with the most points at the end of the race gets the "green jersey".
Britain's Mark Cavendish is considered a shoo-in for the green jersey. Australia's Matt Goss, from Orica GreenEdge, beat him in one stage of the Giro d'Italia (when Cavendish crashed), and claimed a bunch of second places.
Can Gossy step up?
Mountains are the essence of the Tour, and it is in the low-oxygen environments of the French Alps that reputations are forged forever.
The aerodynamics of bunch cycling are less applicable at the lower speeds cyclists attain on the hills, which is why famed tacticians, not least Lance Armstrong, were famous for attacking in the hills, where a group of cyclists has less chance of catching a solo effort.
Climbers can't sprint but may be in contention for the "polka dot jersey," awarded to the best climber in the Tour.
Each climb has a finish line on top, where points are awarded to the rider who gets there first.
The hills are distinguished by their difficulty, from Category 4, least difficult, up to Category 1 and uncategorised climbs, which can rise a jaw-dropping 1500 metres above the French countryside.
When a group of riders gets ahead of the peloton and thrash their bodies to hold onto a slender lead, that's a breakaway.
Much more exhausting than sitting back in the bunch. Great for getting your sponsor's name on TV.
Getting off the front of the peloton is the best way to gain time on the field and slip into the Yellow Jersey. A well-timed attack is one that sees a rider put in a burst of effort to get in front of the peloton when the finish line is not too far away - otherwise the peloton can generally catch up and overtake.
High-speed corners are the key location for crashes. When one happens, the safest riders are obviously those in front of the crash. For this reason, some teams will jockey for position at the front of the peloton to stay out of trouble. Pro cyclists often descend at speeds over 70 kilometres per hour and crashes can be very serious.
Another way to become involved in a crash is to be hit by a car from a French TV station, as happened to several riders last year, one of whom – Dutchman Johnny Hoogerland – ended up in a barbed-wire fence and bled profusely before getting back on his bike and finishing the stage. He was eventually given 33 stitches.
Cyclists were once very, very keen on this. Less so now.
Certain riders, like Cadel Evans, have a reputation for being "clean".
Others, like Alberto Contador, have been caught with just a few molecules of clenbuterol (a banned muscle building drug) in their blood and found guilty of doping.
Of course, not being caught doping doesn't mean you aren't doping. Lance Armstrong was once the most tested cyclist in the world.
For all we know, the technology of masking agents might be moving faster than the doping agencies...

The low fat craze has dominated cooking, or at least cookbooks, for the last 20 or so years. But let me share a little tip with you all that I think is helpful to keep in mind.
Most of the low fat versions of your favorite dishes, cookies, sauces etc. pale in comparison to the original. They just make you want the real thing. So instead of seeking out low-fat versions, consider just eating less high fat foods, and eating them in moderation when you do.
There is nothing wrong with eating a little hollandaise now and then. Just don't do it every week, and don't drown your eggs in sauce. You will be more satisfied this way and achieve the same results.

The Farm We have a working farm growing heirloom varieties of vegetables for sale at farmer's markets and in our Country store. We keep a small selection of heritage breed farm animals to support our educational programs. We have displays of agricultural implements and educational exhibits on rural life and agriculture for the visiting public and our many visiting school children. We offer guided tours of the farm and the historic Jones farmhouse. Special events and programs, workshops, and day camps are offered throughout the year.
Our CSA: Sorry No CSA this year What we will grow this year: Gardens
The Pigs: Dorcas is a Gloucester Old Spot pig, a heritage breed traditionally used for keeping the orchards clear of dropped apples. She was born at Old Sturbridge Village. Update: sadly Dorcas our pig died in early Spring. The Sheep: Our current flock of five sheep includes Gulf Coast Merinos, a breed once common in New Hampshire and Vermont, that we obtained from the flock at Old Sturbridge Village. The sheep are shorn each year by a professional shearer at our annual Spring Farm Day event. The Goats: Details coming soon. The Chickens:The Farm Museum keeps a flock of chickens in the coop at the Jones Farm, including heritage breeds such as Silver Gray Dorkings, Speckled Sussex, Dark Cornish, Dark Brahmas, Barred Rocks, Dominiques and Auracanas & Bantams. Our chickens are free-ranging (except when our gardens are first planted!) and we sell their eggs in the Country Store. The Rabbits:We have two rabbits, Junior and Clementine, Their hutches are located outside the chicken coop and are a fun stop for kids on the way to visit the rest of the animals. The Barn Cat: All farms need a barn cat or two. Butterscotch is the farm ambassador—they are friendly and industrious controlling the mouse population! Keeping animals requires feed, bedding, and veterinary care. You can help by "adopting" any one or all of our farm animals (click "Join/Support" then "Adopt a Farm Animal"). Adopters will be invited to a special annual Farm Animal Tour. In the meantime, keep up with the Farm Museum animals on their Facebook pages—Dorcas the Pig has even been known to Twitter!

The benefit options of variable annuities
By Steve Savant
Ash Brokerage Corporation
Maximizing the additional value of variable annuities requires optimized options to invest in, thus increasing the benefit of owning the variable annuity policy. One option is survivorship and/or single insured, life insurance for generational transfer issues like charitable giving, legacy planning, and federal and state taxes due at death. Another option is life insurance or annuities with long-term care riders or even a stand-alone long-term care policy. Steve and Tim outline the possibilities of repurposing the extra values found by maximizing the benefits correctly.

The American's Creed was written in 1917 by William Tyler Page of Maryland. It was his submission to a nationwide contest held during World War One for the best summary of American political faith.
He won the contest, and used the $1,000.00 prize to buy Liberty Bonds, which he gave to his church.
The U.S. House of Representatives accepted the Creed on behalf of the American people in 1918.
Sadly, I'm afraid there are few Americans today, including our elected representatives, who know of the Creed's existance.
The Americans Creed
I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a Republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect Union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

Hey Folks,
As iOS 7 Launched last night. it comes with amazing features for its customers. i am talking about 7 cool features out of a few hundred features of this coolest mobile OS.
1. New Vibrating Alert : In iOS 6 when u tap on screen you feel a little vibration with a sign tone.
in iOS 6 you are not able to change its TONE. now in iOS 7 you can do it. iOS 7 comes up with new and fresh Ringtones as well as rhythms.
2. Search with SIRI : in iOS 7 you can search for an image using SIRI and it'll display more smarter results then before from BING. you can search for any tweets any Historical place and SIRI will display smart enough results for your search.
it has one more cool feature in which if you have some of your friends name which is not available in dictionary and SIRI is not able to pronounciate then you can ask SIRI to pronounce that name correctly and add it in the Dictionary for future.
3. Safari's New Icon : iOS 7 comes up with new safari iCON. by using you can stay updated with your friends on Twitter.
i don't understand why Apple didn't reveal this hidden Cool Feature of iOS 7.
4. Smart Search with Spotlight : it's one more iOS 7 cool feature in which you can search anything from anywhere in your iPhone world.
It can't search on web any wikipedia.
5.Control Center : Yes It has been lifted from Android but its worthy in iOS 7. You can swipe control centre options as there are many Categories Available.
6. Super app switch : It's another "borrowed" feature — this point from webOS — however the multitasking interface is completely revamped and far higher. every open app could be a card and you'll see 3 at a time. The app cards show the app in its last state; they're not actively change. Slide these around and you'll quickly see all of your open apps; faucet one and you'll jump right in. need to shut AN app, or 2 or three? you'll do this by dragging the app cards up and off the screen; up to a few at a time if you wish.
7 . Always be updating : The days of gap the App Store and manually change your apps square measure over — if you would like them to be. among the App Store settings menu,
you'll notice the choice to line iOS to mechanically update each app, and a separate toggle to change off automatic updates once you're victimization cellular information.

I decided to follow up on a previous post of mine Why choose to travel long term? by analysing another aspect of my future trip: Solo travel.
The title of this post is somewhat misleading however. Choose to travel solo? I actually didn't have a choice. For those of you that have been following along with my blog, you may know that originally I was planning on traveling the world with my long-term boyfriend. I'd been planning on traveling long-term since the age of 16 but I always assumed I would be accompanied by a partner or friend. As the date for departure reached under the one year mark, my boyfriend and I started to look at this trip seriously and make some solid plans. However, late last year we unfortunately split up and decided it was best for both of us to part ways.
Rather than giving up my dreams and thinking it wouldn't be possible to travel anymore… I did the complete opposite! I started tentatively thinking about the idea of going it alone! At first it was just a pipe dream, but the more I researched the more I discovered that there are lots of females out there traveling solo and having the best time ever!
Although it wasn't an initial choice of mine, the more I've thought about it and the more I've planned and researched, the more I've realised that I want this! I want to travel solo. It makes so much more sense for me as a person to do so, and I'm 100% confident that I made the right decision.
Why, given the choice, would I deliberately choose to travel alone?
The first point for me is freedom. Planning with my boyfriend made me realise that our trip would actually be about compromise. Being such different people, we both wanted different things. We wanted to go to completely different places and do different things. I wanted to stay in hostels, he wanted more luxury, I wanted to party across South-East Asia, and he obviously did not. I don't think you should have to compromise for a trip this important and life-changing. Indeed I understand that you make small compromises in order to make your partner happy, but we were on complete opposite ends of the spectrum! Now… I get to go wherever I want whenever I want, and do whatever I want! It's pure freedom. I'll be able to have a completely lazy day if I want and not have to feel guilty, and likewise I can go somewhere I want without having to worry if my partner doesn't want to do the same.
To be able to force myself into awkward situations. When I'm with someone I tend to take a backseat when it comes to having to deal with anything. I let them sort out money, visas, where to stay, everything! When I'm on my own I'll be forced out of my comfort zone and have to sort out everything by myself! Whilst this is a scary prospect to me right now, it's also quite exciting. I don't have much confidence in unfamiliar situations, but there's no way to gain it unless I put myself out there and force myself to deal with it. If I was traveling with someone else, I know I wouldn't have to force myself to do anything, and I'd always have someone there to fall back on which I would take advantage of. I want to get out of my comfort zone!
To meet other travelers and make lots of friends. Whilst I'm sure that as you travel in a group you are able to meet other people and travelers, I've also heard a lot that if you travel this way you are less approachable. I understand that. If I saw a group of travelers and then another solo traveler then 9 times out of 10 I would approach the person alone. I know that if I did travel with a partner then it would be more than likely that most of the time we'd keep ourselves to ourselves and not make a huge effort to make friends. We'd have each other, and plan things out to do together. On my own, I'll be forced into situations where I may feel lonely, and at these times I want to be able to make friends and interact with other travelers. A huge part of traveling for me will be to meet other travelers – To hear all about their lives and adventures they've been on.
To be happy with just being Lauren. This is a point which is very personal to me. Ever since the age of sixteen it feels like I've always been in a relationship, and it's true. I've never taken the time to enjoy being single and enjoy my own company. I've always been part of a couple – Lauren and whoever… I think part of me feels like I can't be happy on my own, and that I always need someone there for me to look after me and care for me. I don't think this is particularly healthy and I now believe that actually, in order to be happy in a relationship you need to learn to be able to happy on your own first. By traveling alone and having to depend on nobody but me I think that it will really open my eyes and allow me to see that it is possible to be happy alone, and that I definitely don't need a man in my life to make me happy!
Of course, as well as the advantages, there are disadvantages too. Not being able to share all of my experiences with someone I care about, not having anyone to take loads of photos of me(!!), nobody to care for me if I'm sick or help me out if I get in any kind of trouble… The list goes on…
But.. Despite those reasons, if I was given the option I would absolutely still choose to travel solo. It may not be right for some people, but it's definitely right for me!
What are your reasons for want to travel solo or as a couple/group? Which do you think is best in your opinion?

Mind-Body Medicine
Emerging Role of Mobile-Health Technology Interventions for Wellness and Disease Management
01/30/2013Every year millions die from cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer, HIV infection, and diabetes. These conditions contribute to 40 % of all deaths in the more developed and affluent countries. For each of these diseases, healthy behaviors have been identified, which can prevent onset of these diseases. For example, the onset of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes can be prevented by maintaining a healthy body weight. Once these conditions are present,behavioral and lifestyle change are important for managing the course of these illnesses.
Efforts to increase healthy behaviors and minimize health risk behaviors (such as smoking) become increasingly important in enhancing health in this context. Mobile technology such as texting and smart phones offer platforms for innovative approaches to health enhancement and disease management.

Saybrook University Psychology Student Completes Dissertation on Biofeedback and Yoga for Undergraduate Stress Management
Carla Benejam lives in Salinas, California with one of her three sons and a big tabby cat. When not teaching courses in biology, life science, or psychology at Cal State University Monterey Bay, she spends many days in her apothecary garden, growing and tending herbs and seasonal veggies. Carla has been teaching for ten years and before that owned a rather eclectic used book store in Monterey. She has an affinity for languages and has studied German, French, Spanish and Indonesian, and a little Italian. Travels have taken her to Sumatra (to see young orangutans in the wild), Fiji, Moscow, Singapore and the Malay Peninsula, Britain, France, Spain, Alaska and Hawaii, Nepal, India, and Tibet.
Carla has a bachelor's degree from UC Berkeley in Physical Anthropology, and a master's degree from San Jose State College in Evolutionary Biology. On December 27, 2013, she defended her dissertation and completed her doctorate in Psychology from Saybrook University in San Francisco. She is currently preparing a program of biofeedback for stress relief for college students to be implemented at her university, and is also pursuing life as a garden wise woman. Although a Psychology student, the three individuals guiding her dissertation were all faculty from Saybrook's School of Mind-Body Medicine, chair Donald Moss, and committee members Eric Willmarth and Eliza Bigham.
Saybrook University Graduates First PhD in Mind-Body Medicine: Beth Haggett
01/15/2013Over 30 years ago, as a 19 year old girl, Beth Haggett told her husband that someday she wanted to earn a PhD in Psychoneuroimmunology. When she first heard that Saybrook University was developing a PhD program in Mind-Body Medicine, she jumped at the opportunity and became the first to apply for the new program.
On December 28, 2012, Beth defended her doctoral dissertation, and became the first student to complete the new PhD. Her degree is a "PhD in Mind-Body Medicine with a specialization in Health Care Systems." She achieved her goal within the time frame that she set for herself of three and one half years. Most importantly, because of her mind-body learning, and the self-care that was a component in her mind-body medicine education, her own mental, emotional, and physical health have improved dramatically in the course of her education. Beth's husband and adult children have also benefitted greatly from applying mind-body skills to their lives.

Saybrook's Mind-Body Medicine Program began in the fall of 2009, and since its inception several students have earned a Master's degree in Mind-Body Medicine. As students continue to graduate and make their mark in the world, it is inspiring for other students to learn about their passions and paths.
Marisa Iacobucci was one of 16 students in the first cohort and completed her Master's degree in Mind-Body Medicine in January 2012. Marisa decided to pursue a Master's in Social Work (MSW), after completing her degree, as it is her intention to work with veterans and their families as well as individuals with chronic pain and illness. While she was finishing her degree at Saybrook she began to look into MSW programs. At the same time, she participated in an Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) training at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. The training was taught by Carol Look (http://www.attractingabundance.com/eft/about-carol/) over a three-day weekend and included the basics of EFT and its value in treating trauma in individuals.
Closing the Circle: MBM Student Michelle LaMasa-Schrader Completes Three-Part Clinical Practicum
The PhD Practicum is an exciting part of completing a PhD in Mind-Body Medicine at Saybrook University, and for Michelle LaMasa-Schrader the Practicum is where she stepped into the role of "Doctor of Mind-Body Medicine." Michelle describes her transformation into a mind-body practitioner as a calling, something deeper than creating a new career path. Through study and numerous experiential activities she has embodied the work that she champions deep into her soul. Michelle reflects that many of the courses in her PhD program have impacted her on a profoundly personal level. During courses such as the "Spirituality and Health" course she chose to use the opportunity to deepen her relationship with her husband. She created a spiritual ritual that has strengthened their personal relationship, an unexpected gift from her graduate education.
MBM Academic Mentor Participates in Global Trauma Relief, as well as in Women's Cancer Resource Center: Introducing Kelsey Menehan, LCSW
Kelsey Menehan found her way to Saybrook University through the Center for Mind-Body Medicine (CMBM). Kelsey completed her education and training to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at The Catholic University of America, in Washington, D.C. She then began working with cancer patients and the families of kids with cancer. Shortly into her career she began wondering what else she could offer to ease the suffering of families and individuals undergoing cancer treatment. Kelsey has always been interested in spirituality, and perhaps that is a hint of what attracted her to the CMBM.

The Honors College - A Tradition of Community
The University of Akron's Honors College supports an enriched education for curious, high-achieving students. This support includes special honors sections of many introductory classes, honors colloquia discussion classes for second-fourth year students, faculty advisors in the student's major, honors merit scholarships for many participants, and the current honors residence with private bathrooms, as well as personal academic/career advisors.
The Honors College provides a special intellectual community within a metropolitan university that offers a wide variety of academic disciplines. An Honors College student completes a major in one of the bachelor's degree-granting colleges, selects a set of Honors Distribution courses in place of the University's General Education Program, participates in a series of Honors Seminars (Colloquia), and creates a Senior Honors Project. The successful Honors Program student is recognized at graduation with an honors degree and the designation of University Honors Scholar.
Over 400 members of The University of Akron's Honors College are housed this fall in the Honors/Orr Complex, located near the heart of campus. Living and Learning is a reality as the Honors Complex includes a 300-bed residence hall and an academic learning center, plus the attached 120-bed Orr Residence Hall. The Honors Office is located on the first floor of the Complex. Honors students, particularly those who are not residents, are invited to make the Common Room your place to stay on campus while not in class.
The academic wing of the Honors Complex includes a large classroom, three seminar rooms, a computer room, and a two-story Common Room. Pictured is the new Honors Complex as viewed from the corner of Buchtel and College Streets, near the new Arts & Science building. The rooms in the residence wing include doubles and singles. Residents in the new wing each share a bathroom with just one other person.

On Dec. 16, WEC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz will face Scott Jorgensen to determine the first-ever UFC bantamweight champion. However, regardless of the bout's outcome, Cruz will step out of the cage and into an operating room.
Cruz fought with an injured hand against Joseph Benavidez and will do so again against Jorgensen. The hand does need to be surgically repaired, but the injury does not affect Cruz's punching power or striking ability.
Doctors told Cruz that the surgery would put him on the shelf for at least six months, but Cruz believes he's a "quick recovery type of guy" and estimated that the recovery time would be closer to four months.

cross a bridge when one comes to it
Also, cross that bridge when you come to it. Deal with a situation when, and not before, it occurs. For example, If we can't sell the housewell, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. The ultimate origin of this proverb, a caution not to anticipate trouble and often put as , has been lost. The earliest recorded use is in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's The Golden Legend (1851): "Don't cross the bridge till you come to it, is a proverb old and of excellent wit."

Once I got to Weiner in July, there was no gold for him left to hide. (Yeah, there probably was.) He knew that GQ didn't want a daily political story about beach restoration and alternate-side parking. He knew what I was there for, and it took five weeks of seeing me on the trail to get him to choose me this time. And even during all of that, there were moments when he went too far—when he got greedy in trying to win me over. When I asked him if he had regrets about the campaign, he actually said, "Huma and the press conference. Rather than do that, I should've called you and asked, 'Do you want to do a story?'" (Oh, Mr. Weiner, sir! You shameless flatterer!)
As for Jonathan Van Meter, I don't think he's coming back to give Weiner another chance, and frankly I've lost count of which chance this would be. His reaction to this feature is that "No one should interview Anthony again. He is the least reliable narrator of his own story that I have ever encountered. And I've interviewed people in prison, who have chopped people up—prisoners who are charming and funny and smart. And well dressed."

Alan Duxbury - 25/08/2010
love this dance fits great with the music very popular at the classes i attend.
Mike Parkinson - 17/08/2010
Another of our current favorites here in North Wales. Been teaching & playing at all my classes, for a couple of months now. Great feel to the dance (64/4 Intermeidate) from Kate Sala. Good music from Timbaland & Miley Cyrus, and easy to obtain. Nicely put together and balanced throughout, nice last 16 counts. A sure-fired winner and worth a teach, very enjoyable!!
L Chinniah - 06/08/2010
This dance went down very well, despite the teachers misgivings about it. I really like it, and consider it a real good workout.
Leanne Rolls - 04/08/2010
Great dance - feels a little different to others which is nice. Love the last 2 sections - steps are a little but quirky and fir the music very well. Enjoyed by all in class.
Pamela Stevenson - 26/07/2010
Learnt this a while ago now but only just got round to reviewing it. It is a great dance as we expect from Kate. It fits the music perfectly with some different steps to keep us "on our toes"The only downside is the track is a bit too long so we fade it out after 3+ minutes.
Val Whittington - 22/05/2010
I personally love this dance some neat different steps particularly at end of dance.Not all of my class love the music but they all like the steps !!
Elved Harvey - 14/05/2010
This was taught by Charlotte Macari at Pakefield and floor full in the evening so showed everyone enjoyed it. Wasn't too sure of music (Miley Cyrus/Timbaland) at first but has really grown on us and now love it!. Steps fit perfectly as you would expect from Kate especially the heel twists and nothing too hard. Give it a go
David Spencer - 12/05/2010
Learnt this at a weekend event in Coventry. Haven't got round to teaching it yet but hope to soon. Nice little two-step to a pop track for a change. I like the way the heel twists fit the "hey hey" vocals in the song.

If you are any type of technology geek you're anxiously awaiting CES 2012. January 10-13th technophiles from around the country will gather in Las Vegas to get a first glimpse of all the latest and greatest in smartphones, Ultrabooks, TV's, Graphics Cards, Home Entertainment and more. So we are asking you, our readers and members, to respond to the poll and discuss what you are excited about. Quad Core's will without a doubt be the hot topic of discussion. Last year it was the Dual Core "beasts" everyone was fired up about. Seems like so long ago doesn't it? The poll is multiple choice so have at it and don't be shy. Fire a way. What do you hope to see and what are you excited about?
Ive only heard things about tablets.. i hope there are going to be plenty of vzw phones want to see a new htc phone maybe the htc ville Sent from my ADR6400L using DroidForums
If I get a chance to go, maybe what the custom iem market has to offer. I'm all for throwing down 500-$1000 for a nice set of customs(if I had the money to use, at least). Plus they do ear impressions free there, if I recall right. At least altec lansing says they will. Actually, that being said, you guys should check out what companies like Westone, Ultimate Ears, and Altec Lansing have to offer. Westone's UM series has a great deal of praise behind it. Altec has some pretty nice looking customs behind it (and probably very competitive). UE has their custom line too, which is used by many an artist, such as Ludacris.
Windows 8. The rest of the stuff is pretty meh. Last year my contract was up in March, so I was interested to see what new phones would be out. Plus, I wanted to know more about vzw's LTE coverage. Now that I have a new phone (Bionic), and LTE coverage I don't really care much.
I'm interested to see the LG Intel powered smartphone. Curious what it looks like and it's specs. Goes without saying I will have my eyes on the newest hardware from the Android powered smartphone manufacturers I do want to hear what Microsoft has to say on their way out.

Anyway. Also don't read below this I suppose?
I like some of the pictures in the filler page - particularly how he drew the wizards, and the panels where Red gets thrown into the padded cell. They're not my top-favourites, but that's only because I don't have a top-favourite.

General Discussion
Fascioliasis is a rare infectious disorder caused by parasites. These parasites are liver flukes that live in plant-eating animals. Liver flukes can be found on water plants in certain parts of the world. When the parasite invades the liver, bile passages may be blocked. A subdivision of Fascioliasis called Halzoun Syndrome affects the throat (pharynx). This infection can usually be controlled and/or cured with timely treatment.

An Owl-some Nursery
Posted By Jocie On July 3, 2012 @ 7:00 am In DIY,The Better Half | 5 Comments
A while ago, I made three owls for my good friend, Colleen, to celebrate the birth of her daughter. Well, her sweet baby is now here and living in her adorable, owl-tastic nursery that Colleen created. Colleen was kind enough to let me take you all on a tour, partially because it's so fabulous but also because she provided me with some inspiration for my upcoming kitchen redesign. I'll fill you in at the end of the post and see if you can guess along the way!
Colleen re-used her baby furniture from her first daughter (Izzie's BFF) and placed it into their guest bedroom that was already painted a very sweet ice blue. It's such a soft and calming effect, without being too baby-ish, while also being feminine without being too frilly.
Check her great diaper organizer over the back of the door. I also love the small bookshelf with accent lamp, bins, and books. Oh, and there's number one of three cute owls!
The tree decal Colleen found on Amazon is sooo cute and way quicker than the tree I painted [1] in our bedroom. I also love that she picked a yellow curtain to accent the blues and pinks.
Ever wonder what to do with all those little stuffed animals and trinkets that everyone always gets at their baby shower? Love this double shelf with cute baby stuff. And there are owls #2 and #3!
Check out my tutorials on making your owl wooden owls [2], elephant [3], or classy owl [4], complete with lots of pix and printable stencils!
This is one of my favorite parts of the room – framed fabric!!! And what a great way to use all those old, mis-matched frames. Paint them, fill them, hang them. LOVE!
To complete the owl theme, she found this rug at Ikea (I think), for CHEAP! I had serious rug envy at the time.
I also love this little mobile that plays music and has a remote. I think it's also meant to travel.
And last but not least, Colleen did a great job organizing the closet and making it look cute. Love the polka dots on the baskets!
So now that you've seen the whole nursery, any guesses on my inspiration piece???
Maybe you guessed right – the framed fabric! Right now I have 4 framed pictures in dark wood frames in the kitchen that I plan to paint and fill with different accent fabrics. I am so excited!
What do you think? Do you love this owl-riffic nursery?
As Always, thanks for reading!

We spent our honeymoon here and really enjoyed it. The room was huge (the double bed made up of two singles pushed together), the bathroom basic (with no bath tub), and the air-con was our saving grace! Room was cleaned on a daily basis as long as you werent in at the time, and it was spotless when we arrived.... More

I was looking for a rubbed bronze finish for an existing 3 knob tub/shower. I purchased this for my guest bathroom and it looks great. I had my contractor to install it so I'm not sure about how easy it was to install, but he didn't seem to have a problem. The shower head seems small, but it is an adjustable spray head, which makes for a pleasurable shower. It is a great bargain and now the hardware in the tub and shower matches the rest of the bathroom decor.
I got this faucet for half the price of another place. Three Handled set in bronze being hard to find, I took the only style available. This set turned out to be beautiful!! Well-made and looks great. Had a plumber do the "in the wall" plumbing, but my husband did the rest. I also got the matching sink faucet.. Love it also and my husband installed that , too, with no problems. A great asset to my bathroom remodel!
This is a nice-looking shower set, but it doesn't fit old-style 3-handle showers. I had to return mine, and get a conversion kit for old style Price-Fister 3-handle showers
The holes in the faucet that I received were too small for the water to flow through. I had to purchase a new faucet head because I could not even shower with this one. Total waste of money.
Very good looking, quality finish. Lots of small parts, other brands that I have installed were larger subassemblies. This is completely disassembled.
Bought for a new shower we are installing in our renovation. It's great!!! Plumber said its well made and easy to install. He's adding a side unit spray with a hand held shower and it's perfect for it. Just what we needed at a great price
Overall, very pleased. The low-flow shower head that comes with it is very basic. It lasted only for my wife's first shower; then I replaced it with a Delta shower head that actually delivers a good shower. In addition there were 2 things that I was not aware of. The diverter is on the wall - with our old faucet the diverter was on the faucet. This required a plumber to make the adaptation to the plumbing and put a new hole in the tub to accommodate the diverter. The second issue is that this kit does not contain the trim for the drain or the overflow plate so I currently have the chrome drain and overflow plate which don't match the new faucet hardware. This required another couple of trips to the hardware/plumbing supply store, another visit by the plumber, and additional expense that I hadn't anticipated. Still, much better than the old, outdated hardware that we replaced and the quality seems to be good.

The minimum speed is agonizingly slow -- even if you were doing something else simultaneously, I can't think of what could possibly require that much pausing.
The minimum speed is agonizingly slow -- even if you were doing something else simultaneously, I can't think of what could possibly require that much pausing.
I like to micro-manage That's how I play these games. I also like to follow all the goings-on across the map - all the various character interactions and wars both major and minor, even when I'm just playing a lowly count. The current minimum speed is OK for that, although it could be a tad slower.
I remember a thread a while back (before we lost the old minimum speed) where people were saying what speed they were playing at. I was amazed to be honest. I expected most people would be playing at 1. I find it hard to understand how people could feel they were getting much out of the game at all playing faster than that and yet that's how a lot of people are playing apparently. They must be after a different experience. That's the only explanation.
When I'm playing a large-ish empire though, as I have been lately, especially when I get in a situation where I have several wars on the go with all the troop and fleet movements to coordinate and the AI armies to keep an eye on in every corner of the map the current minimum speed is just unworkable. For one thing I've had to set army arrivals as an important notification so I don't lose track of any of them and, to give you an idea, in my last session I was averaging between one and three important notifications a day over a period of two in-game months.
We can count at least 3 forum participants (including me) who require old slow speed ( before 1.5 patch). So they must to make immidiate hotfiks or at least include this slow speed in next patch.
Interesting to see the different play styles as reflected in desired speed in this thread. Great to see how many different ways CKII can be enjoyed.
Personally think playing at 1 is akin to being tortured with burning molasses dripping on your sunburned scalp. But that's just me
I play speed 2 mostly, I find anything faster feels wierd. However most paradox games i play on speed 3/4. Used to play with 5 but with my new computer Vic2 and Hoi3 just go too fast.
I like things to take a while, like being able to invite people to a plot and while i'm choosing the next person the previous is replying to me. I find it helps my own mental machinations.
I play almost always on speed 1 too! Well sometimes on 2 when there's not really that much happening. Only real exception is for the first 3-5 years of a new campaign, after the initial "20min pause to set it all up" phase. This is where I *might* go up to 3, sometimes even 4 inbetween the odd pause to just look around for what else is happening in the world. Never used 5 though IIRC.
In wars I play on "speed 0.1", always: pause -> direct armies/navies -> unpause -> check arrival dates -> add in several pauses/unpauses to adjust for AI movements -> unpause -> pause after battles -> repeat until the war is won. Oddly enough I didn't even notice they upped the speed a bit, probably because I use space so much.
I played my first game through, beginning to end on speed 1 with the odd foray in to speed 2 when I was waiting for something specific to happen. I did it because I liked watching everything, planning things without having to pause all the time, and because it helped me deal with the AIs perfect timing for army movement when I was at war. Nothing worse than losing a army to one you could have escaped if you were faster off the mark.
My second playthrough using the DLC, and I've migrated to speed 2 (which is really speed 3) as my default. I'm enjoying it still, but I don't feel the attachment to my characters that I did the first time around. They're gone before I get to know them.
Slow Speed at 1 for me. Why have the world pass you by at warp speed?
I'm always on Speed 1, unless I'm waiting for something to happen or just bored with the current situation.
I also usually follow major dynasties like the Jimena and Capet though.
Dang, some people must really like waiting.

A DOCTOR used an ultrasound probe "like it was a sex toy" and had a delighted expression on his face as he fondled a female patient's genitals, a court has been told.The Crown prosecutor Margaret Cunneen, SC, told the Sydney District Court that the man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, touched or manipulated the clitorises of five women during gynaecological examinations in NSW in 2002 and 2003.One of the patients broke down in the witness box yesterday while recalling an internal ultrasound performed by the doctor, saying he used the probe "more like a sex toy than the probe it was supposed to be"."His fingers touched my clitoris and labia more than once," she said. "There were repeated touches, at times like a caress ... he looked really delighted and he was smiling."The man is charged with five counts of assault and commit an act of indecency with a person under his authority.His barrister, John Stratton, SC, said the patients involved complained only after a "massive publicity campaign that was encouraged and orchestrated by two firms of lawyers".The trial continues.
