Hawks Soar to 3-0 Start
St. Joseph's University
by Patrick Wandalowski
December 1st
Saint Joseph's is off to their best start since the 1994-95 season, upping their record to 3-0 after Sunday's 63-47 defeat of CAA opponent, Old Dominion. The Hawks used a 2nd half run to pull away from the Monarchs before a crowd of 3,022 at Alumni Memorial Fieldhouse.
For the third straight victory, the Hawks relied heavily on their backcourt. Jameer Nelson, Delonte West, and Pat Carroll combined for 45 points.
Delonte West continued his torrid offensive attack of late by scoring the Hawks first 7 points of the game. A Nelson three-pointer from the top of the key, followed by a steal and lay-up by the junior co-captain gave the Hawks a 12-9 lead. After an 8-2 run by Old Dominion recaptured the lead for the Monarchs, Tyrone Barley was fouled on a three-point shot. He sank all three free throws to forge a tie at 17. Another bucket by Nelson gave them the lead, a lead they would not relinquish.
The Crimson and Gray opened up a little lead with some late free throws in the opening half. West hit both ends of the 1 and 1, and knocked in another shot to extend the lead to the largest margin of the game, 27-20. A three-pointer by ODU's Waller eventually ended a Saint Joseph's 13-3 run.
By halftime, the Hawks led 28-23. Nelson and West combined to go 6-for-14 from the field, scoring 18 of the team's 28 total points. Free throw shooting provided mixed results—West, Barley, and Mallon were a perfect 9-of-9 from the charity stripe, while John Bryant and Chris Cologer struggled mightily to go 1-for-9 combined.
Old Dominion scored five quick points to start the 2nd half, 28-28. Alex Sazonoz's lone basket of the game gave the Hawks the lead right back. That started a 15-5 run by Saint Joseph's. Nelson drilled two free throws, then fed Delonte West for an easy lay-up to make the score 34-30. Sophomore Pat Carroll took over for the next stretch of the game. He knocked down a long three-pointer, blocked a shot at the other end of the floor, and then nailed another three-pointer. Nelson capped off the run, sinking a jumper off a Bryant free throw miss, 43-33.
Jameer Nelson took over the game in the second half, scoring 14 of his game-high 21 points. Nelson went 7-for-14 from the field and was a perfect 6-of-6 from the line. He added 5 steals, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists. It was the 3rd straight game of 20 or more points for Nelson. Delonte West hauled down a game-high 9 rebounds to go with 13 points. Pat Carroll was 4-for-6 FG, 3-for-4 from three point territory, for 11 points.
Saint Joseph's clamped down on defense once again. They held the Monarchs to 29% FG, out rebounded them 38-33, blocked 7 shots, and forced 15 turnovers.
Old Dominion was led in scoring by Marsh (16 pts, 6 rebs) and Loughton (14 pts, 7 rebs).
The Hawks' frontcourt is quickly becoming a point of concern. Dave Mallon, Alex Sazonov, Dwayne Jones, John Bryant, and Chris Cologer combined for only two field goals and ten points. Two or three of these players must emerge soon or it will catch up to the Hawks. Nelson, West, and Carroll were the only 3 Hawks to attempt more than 3 shots.
Saint Joseph's takes the floor this Thursday vs. Boston University.

Loblaw Companies Limited to Acquire Shoppers Drug Mart Corporation Transcript
Event Date:
Event Time:
Good morning. My name is Melissa and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the Loblaw Companies Limited and Shoppers Drug Mart Transaction Call. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speakers' remarks, there will be a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions]. Thank you. And I'll now turn the call over to your host, Ms. Janet Craig, you may begin your conference.
Janet Craig
Senior Vice President, Investor Relations
Thanks Melissa. And thank you everyone for joining us his morning. I mean here today with Loblaw Executive Chairman, Galen Weston; Shoppers Drug Mart Chair, Holger Kluge, sorry Holger Loblaw's President, Vicente Trius, Shoppers Drug Mart President and Chief Executive Officer, Domenic Pillaa and Loblaw's Chief Financial Officer Sarah Davis.
Before we begin I would like to remind you that this discussion will contain forward-looking statements about the -- transactions. These forward-looking statements reflect current estimates, pro forma information, beliefs and assumptions which are based on Loblaw's and Shoppers Drug Mart's perception of factors and management beliefs are appropriate in the circumstances. We can give no assurance that such estimates, proforma information, beliefs and assumptions will prove to be correct. Investors are cautioned that there are number of risks and uncertainties that could also cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements.
For additional information regarding the forward-looking statements, please refer to the full text of the press release issued by Loblaw earlier today and so the slide contains today's presentation material. In addition, I wish to point out that throughout the presentation this morning, management may refer to non-GAAP measures such as
free cash flow
. Management of Loblaw and Shoppers Drug Mart believe that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management, investors and discussing the proposed transaction. These measures do not have a standard meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore they may not be comparable for similarly titled measures presented by other publicly traded companies.
Now, let me turn the call over to Galen.
Galen G. Weston
Executive Chairman
Thank you, Janet and thank you all for joining us today. As we start our presentation, I'd like to introduce the Chair of the Board of Shoppers Drug Mart, Holger Kluge. Making transformational transactions like this one happen takes vision, patients and stamina. Holger has demonstrated just such leadership. Today's announcement would not have take place without him. Holger, can I ask you to make a few remarks.
Holger Kluge
Chair, Shoppers Drug Mart Corporation
Thank you, Galen. I appreciate your kind words. This is a wonderful combination that paves the way by terrific future of our two companies as well as for our investors, associate owners, and team and our customers. Transactions are about numbers for sure, but their success really depends on people and culture both Loblaw and Shoppers Drug Mart share for our customers and together, we will be able to serve them better than we ever could do alone. I am excited about this transaction and look forward to a very bright future ahead of us. With that, let me turn it back to Galen.
Galen G. Weston
Executive Chairman
When Loblaw first opened it's stores in 1919, we changed our Canadian shops for groceries. When we launched our President's Choice and no name house brand, we changed our Canadian private label. President's Choice Financial changed our Canadian bank and Joe Fresh changed affordable apparel for Canadian. I have long believed that the next chapter for growth at Loblaw should be based in a vision that combined health, wellness and nutrition. Loblaw combining with shoppers drug mart is the ultimate expression of that vision. Not only does this transaction make compelling financial sense, it establishes a truly innovative platform for the future.
With today's transformational
between Loblaw and Shoppers Drug Mart, we're changing the retail landscape in Canada, combining two iconic companies and creating an innovative new retailer. We will put both companies trusted brands and services within closer reach of even more Canadians and do so in a way that creates immediate value for the shareholders of both companies.
Together Shoppers Drug Mart and Loblaw will touch millions of Canadians everyday. With 1 billion customer transactions per year over 2,300 stores nearly 1,800 pharmacies and 65 million square feet of selling space. Had we been one company in 2012 we would have generated $42 billion in annual
$3 billion in
and $1 billion in annual
free cash flow
. But as big as this deal is, it's about an even bigger idea.
This transaction enables us to harness the complementary strengths of Canada's number one food retailers and Canada's number one pharmacy retailer to serve customers better, closer to where they live and worked and with an even greater combination of value assortment and service then either company could provide alone.
The profile and preferences of the Canadian consumer continue to change as they have so many times in the more than nine decades since we opened our first grocery store, and in the five decades in Shoppers Drug Mart opened its first pharmacy. And we are confident that we will remain Canadian's first choice for health, wellness and nutrition. This transaction will enable us to offer Loblaw's portfolio of market leading brands and convenient food and groceries products through Shoppers Drug Mart store network. Likewise, we will begin to offer Shoppers Drug Mart respected wellness brands and pharmacy services in Loblaw stores.

By Jim Amato: He had walked away from the most prestigious prize in all of sports. I was shocked but Vitali Klitschko is his own man and for whatever reasons he had, the decision was made. How good was Vitali Klitschko? Where will he fall when rating him against the other great heavyweights of all time? It will be quite difficult to judge with the abrupt end to his career. Vitali has only 37 fights, winning 35 with 34 stoppage wins. The numbers are impressive. Let's look at the quality of his opposition.. Vitali began his career in 1996. He reeled off 27 straight wins, all by knockout. There were no big names but his resume has several fair heavyweights. Names like Cleveland Woods, Will Hinton, Anthony Willis, Levi Billips, Jose Ribalta, Herbie Hide, Ed Mahone and Obed Sullivan. In 2000, ahead on points a shoulder injury forced him to withdraw between rounds nine and ten against Chris Byrd. The IBF would later recognize Byrd as their champion. Vitali came back to win five fights Orlin Norris, Vaughn Bean and Larry Donald were among his victims. That led Vitali to a 2003 title shot against WBC champion Lennox Lewis. Lennox-Vitali was a great fight but it ended in six rounds. Lewis broke Vitali down and the fight was stopped. To his credit Vitali jumped right back into the win column. He battered highly regarded Kirk Johnson. Then when Lennox Lewis retired, they matched Vitali with dangerous Corrie Sanders for the vacant WBC title. Vitali then defended his crown by halting Mike Tyson conqueror, Danny Williams. Vitali lost to the best of his era in Lennox Lewis. He also lost to the talented Chris Byrd in a bout that he was on his way to winning before he injured his shoulder. The best way to describe Vitali's opponents were fair to slightly above average. There are no victories over a big name foe. No Tyson, Holyfield, Moorer or even a John Ruiz. Vitali was slow and ponderous. He was somewhat of a plodder. Brother Wladimir is a much better boxer. Vitali had more power and seemed to be more sturdy. Although Vitali's record is very impressive, the quality of his opposition was only so so. I find it very difficult to rate him with Ali, Frazier, Foreman and Holmes. Vitali would not be listed in my Top 25 Heavyweights.

my kids won't listen! ideas?
It doesn';t matter if I say, "Your on time-out", or "Here's a cookie", my toddlers (2 & 3 yrs) will not respond 2 me at all. They r constantly fighting & yelling all day & I have no control over them at all. I try 2 b consistant with them but I just had a baby followed by surgury a week ago & it still hurts 2 sit them down.(cuz they run from me) Any ideas????
Do you have a tv?
Congrats on the new baby! It was a girl, right? I would bet everything is a little out of wack with the new baby being at home, etc. I know you have a lot on your plate, so I would try to take it easy for a while. Can you separate the kids? And, really, a little extra tv viewing at this time probably wouldn't hurt them. I'm sure you're stressed and tired enough. Try to give each child some time alone with you and lots of hugs so they know they are still special too. Sometimes they may just be acting up because they are jealous of the new one and want your attention. Stay calm and good luck!
Cylince, are you back with your abusive husband? What happened to your 10 year old son? Is he with you? Are you at your moms'?
Things have got to be very difficult with you and your husband....or is now a soon to be ex?
Somehow you need to take charge of your life. Have you a sister? Brother?....good friend? that will help while you get your strength back?
Your 2 and 3 year olds need a lot of structure and consistency. You sound like you are home most of the day, so your schedule should be easy to maintain. Start their morning off with breakfast and a little morning TV like Dora, or Blue's Clues. Then plan a morning activity outside, weather pemitting or inside. Inside ideas- pull out several puzzles, musical instruments, legos etc. Only pull out one at a time . Too many toys scattered gets very distracting for this age group and they will not play with the toys. Also, at this age they love housekeeping. Let them sweep with a child size broom, hand them a towel to clean tables,etc. Let them have play time until about 10:30. Then offer them a mornning snack in your kitchen,sitting down not running around. After snack pull out another toy unless they are still involved with the first toys. At this time you should start fixing their lunch. Serve lunch around 11:30. After lunch - story time and nap time!!They need to nap at this age!!Your children should get 12-14 hours of sleep a day. So hopefully they should take at least a two hour nap.Structure your afternoon time in a similar manner. Try to get them outside every day.The fresh air is wonderful for them. You will make your life a lot easier by making a schedule for your children. LOL!!
Agreed. Routine Routine Routine. And at 2, I was unsuccessful with timeouts for DD, but what DID work was putting her most favorite toy at the time in the top of the closet. I made it clear that "Elmo is in timeout because you did XXX".
I only had to do it two or three times against a particular behavior, to nip it in the bud.
Usually an afternoon of the toy being in timeout was sufficient.
And when I returned the toy, I reminded her why Elmo was put away, just to help it hit home.
ALSO at that age, I tended to focus on one bad behavior at a time. I would have to ignore a few others, to attack the worst. But it's key to focus since their attention span to multiple things isn't really developed yet.
The secret to getting your child to listen isnÂt punishment.

This book covers the essential theory concepts for building chords on the guitar. In a clear and easy to follow style, the book explains the following topics:
Personal Testimony:
After playing guitar for about 1 year, my teacher Stephen Rollins (the author of these books) sold me his books to take home and read. After a couple weeks, I went from a total beginner with basic knowledge to having a competency and literacy in theory, helping me to start writing my own songs and start learning Jazz tunes. The books are amazing and very clear and packed with practical and essential theory information. After teaching guitar the past 10 years, I've taught Steve's methods to my own students, then decided to help get his books into the world. I use them with my own students and they are able to understand the ideas and apply them quite easily. Hope you'll get the same results!-Brett Sanders

The bulging disc tends to be the most common cause of back pain. There are several different stages of breakdown within the discs of the spine and the bulging disc is normally the first phase of break down. There are several reasons and multiple causes for a bulging disc. Like any type of pain the better you understand what is causing your pain the easier to treat, or at least easier to pick what makes the most sense for your condition.
My goal is to help you understand your spine so you can make better decisions about what to do and what not to do!
The spine is made of bones, nerves, discs and muscles. There are 24 vertebrae (bones) between your head and hips and a disc separates each vertebra. The disc is part cushion that allows for 360 degrees of motion, and part shock absorber.
The discs separate the vertebrae and allow for nerves to exit out of the spine. The nerves that exit the spine pass adjacent to the disc. This is important because if you have subtle changes within the disc you will very often have a pinched nerve, this can result in severe pain. See my blog on sciatica.
Your discs are very much like jelly donuts. The outer portion of the disc is thick cartilaginous material, we call this the annulus. The inner portion of the disc is a jelly like material. The key to a healthy disc is to make sure you have healthy jelly. The jelly can change over time as a result of wear and tear; this can lead to a low level degenerative process.
So what causes a bulging disc?
There are 2 reasons you can have a bulging disc. The first reason tends to be less common of the 2 reasons but still tend to happen frequently.
The disc is like a jelly donut, but truthfully it more like the tire on your car. The outer portion of your disc is much like the outer portion of your tire. The tire holds the air in and the air gives stability to your tire. When the tire has the proper amount of air it is very stable. When the tire runs out of air the tire becomes unstable.
Would you drive your car on the highway at 75 miles an hour if your car had the proper amount of air…? Well the answer is of course is yes. But would you drive your car at 75 if you had a flat tire. Probably not because it's not stable. So what does this have to do with a disc? The disc of your spine relies on the jelly for stability.
When the jelly is well hydrated and healthy the disc is more stable.
Unfortunately, what can happen is that the jelly can start to dry out, this is the same as a tire running out of air. The jelly gives stability to the disc; the same way air gives stability to a tire. When the jelly gets dry the result is a flat tire. When you have a flat tire the outer portion of the tire starts to bulge out. The same happens in the spine when the disc starts to dry out the outer portion of the disc will start to bulge out. This is a bulging disc.
So to recap; there are 2 main reason for bulging discs.
A little secret is if you have a bulging disc you might just need more hydration of the nucleus. (Air in your tiers). We call this FUNCTIONAL DISC REHYDRRATION!

text: The Sleepwalker wiki last edited by guttridgeb on 06/14/13 02:10PM View full history OriginIn the Mindscape, a world where strange creatures live that borders on the minds of all intelligent life, there is a force of beings that protect the sleeping minds of humans. For if they were not protected, dangerous beings would enter the minds of sleeping humans. One of the beings that protects the human minds, what humans call 'Sleepwalker', was tricked by his enemy, Cobweb, into entering the mind of Rick Sheridan. After confronting Sleepwalker in many of his dreams, Rick tore off Sleepwalker's Imaginator. This caused Sleepwalker and Rick to bond together. Now, whenever Rick Sheridan goes to sleep, Sleepwalker materializes into reality. Rick and Sleepwalker have agreed that when Sleepwalker comes out, he fights crime.CreationSleepwalker was created by Bob Budiansky and Bret Blevins in 1991 and first appeared in Sleepwalker #1.Major Story ArcsOn EarthSleepwalker has fought a wide array of villains, from the billiard based Eightball, to Crimewave, to the Chain Gang. In the Infinity War, Sleepwalker helped channel the minds of Professor X, Jean Grey, Moondragon, and Psylocke. During the battle against the evil doppelgangers that Magus made, Sleepwalker fought some of the evil clones and saved some citizens. Sleepwalker also impersonated his own doppelganger. During the Infinity Crusade, he was captured by Goddess and brought to the 'Counter-Earth'.Cobweb wanted to finally defeat Sleepwalker so he devised a plan. Cobweb would disguise his minions as Sleepwalker's race and make everyone believe that Sleepwalker was their leader. Then, everybody would hate Sleepwalker. The plan went into action. Sleepwalker and the Avengers stopped the invasion, but the public still believed that Sleepwalker was the leader of a race that was going to try to take over. Cobweb attacked again, but Sleepwalker defeated him for good, banishing him. Sleepwalker seemingly died afterwards. It was soon revealed that Sleepwalker did not die, he was only trapped inside Rick Sheridan's mind.Return and the InitiativeHe returns back to the real world and is investigating the damages of an explosion perpetuated by the Ringmaster, but he got sucked back again in Rick Sheridan's mind. He later becomes part of a team assembled by Ms. Marvel for the Avengers Initiative which consist of himself and Machine Man in search of the missing heroines including Carol's apprentice, Araña. After they found her, Sleepwalker remains with the Initiative for some time before leaving once again to unknown places.Bad DreamsWhen Spider-Man (Otto Octavius) is attacked by a fearworm, Sleepwalker and Rick Sheridan attempt to help him. Because Rick is asleep, Sleepwalker is manifested in physical form so attempts to get through to Spider-Man verbally. However he is attacked by an unwitting Spider-Man who is mentally fighting off the fearworm with the aid of Rick in the Mindscape. Spider-Man manages to get rid of the fearworm which Sleepwalker promptly destroys with his warp gaze. Angrily, Spider-Man claims the attack was Sleepwalker's fault, in response Sleepwalker apologizes and floats away.Powers and AbilitiesSleepWalkerSleepwalker has super strength, enhanced durability, resistance to injury and mental attacks, and flight. He also has an ability called the Warp Gaze, a vision- based power which allows him to manipulate the matter it falls upon. As a law enforcer of the Mindscape, he has sworn not to use it any living entity, because it can cause extreme pain to the organism as well as showing them their worst nightmares. He also has an amplifying effect on mental powers by being present - he was used as a mental amplifier by Professor X, Jean Grey, Psylocke and Moondragon during the Infinity War.Sleepwalker possesses an item called an Imaginator which allows him to teleport himself or someone else to anywhere he can imagine. Additionally, he has at times used a weapon called a mindrake which can be used to separates someone's mind from their body with varying degrees of completeness. A skilled wielder could completely remove the mind whereas less skilled users would leave stray thoughts behind.Alternate RealitiesEarth-6215On Earth-6215 Sleepwalker has been separated from Rick Sheridan, and is a member of the League of Losers. He takes control of peoples dreams and uses them to alter reality.

John P.October 1997 |
It's funny how some of the most nerve-racking experiences in someone's life, can also be some of the fondest memories. How something that takes every ounce of energy out of you, that makes you sick to your stomach, turns out to be something you look back on, and wish it could happen all over again.
Was it the change? Was it the attention? Was it the courage? I don't know, and I don't know if I ever will. Is it normal? Maybe, maybe not. Is it the movie? Probably. But whatever it is, no matter the stress I went through, no matter the fear I felt. No matter the fact that I lit cigarette after cigarette, each one from the burning ashes of the one before it.
Most people think I wasted two and a half years of my life. Two and a half years and a whole bunch of money down the drain at a failed college career. I feel that I discovered myself. I discovered who I am. I discovered that there are people who accept me for who I am. College may not have been what I needed at the time. Maybe if I had gone to a school close to home I could have graduated this past May as I was supposed to. And maybe I'd be an alien to myself as I was for almost 19 years.
Nonetheless, I did go to a school 200 miles away, I did make friends who are going to be my friends for life, and on October 12, 1995 I told a select few people for the first time that I was gay. Less than two months later, I made the shortest trip back to Albany I ever made. A trip that was solely for the purpose of packing up and moving back home. I guess I'd learned everything I needed to learn from college at the time. Was I too young to go to college? Maybe. Was it a waste of my time? No.
Well now it's almost two years later. I have a job, and I'll be going back to school soon. As I sit here, pushing the rewind button on one of my favorite movies, all I can think about is my own coming out experience. Though different from the character in "Threesome", Every time he has an emotional moment, I know how he feels. Every time I know his heart is pumping, mine pumps just as fast. As the movie draws to an end, and he looks back at this experience that is now over, that he wouldn't trade for anything in the world I feel the same way.
I don't know why I look back so fondly at my coming out process. Though I'm happy with the outcome, I'm just as fond of the process. Could it be the attention. Could it be the feeling that I was climbing a mountain that less than three months earlier I promised myself I would never go near? Could it be that if I had a boyfriend things would be different. That my urge to be recognized subconsciously as a homosexual would be fulfilled. Maybe that's all it is. Yeah, people know I'm gay, and they recognize the fact. But is that the kind of recognition I want? No. I need to the recognition to be on a subconscious level.
The more I think about how single I am, the more I want to see this movie. The more I think about how my life is at a standstill the more I want to see this movie, and the fonder my memories of my coming out experience are. I guess I just need to move on with my sexuality, and then I'll no longer remain stuck on the last big move 2 years ago.
Well that's about it for this months edition, One month, when I have no feelings to explore in my writings, I'll share with you the story of how I came out.
By the way, I LOVE receiving e-mail. my addie is email@example.com. So feel free to drop me a line or visit my homepage at http://www.ultinet.net/~maniatis. (AOL users will have trouble loading up the page. for some reason AOL hates my ISP). And if you do drop by, make sure you sign my guestbook.

I've read all the previous comments and it's really satisfying to know that a lot of people have their bromances and are enjoying them in the best way. I'm a teenager and I've had two bromances so far. The first lasted four years and it was amazing. We were just kids, but we really felt attracted by each other. The other one, some time later than the first one, lasted three years and it ended the worst way possible. He started to get other "friends" who were clearly a very bad influence on him and he started to make some stupid mistakes. We then became enemies and started hating each other, forgetting all the good moments we had been through, all the secrets we shared, all the hugs we gave. It all ended when we moved to college and when we see each other we pretend nothing happened.
I'm going to university now and I don't have any bromance or any girlfriend. Maybe I'm just too young to start these relationships in a serious and stable way. I have very few friends because I'm not a very sociable person and I really want to have good grades so I spend all my time studying instead of going out sometimes. I hope in the future I can have more friends, live a nice bromance and have my own happy family.

Des Moines, Iowa -- The GOP presidential candidates who attended a rally against same-sex marriage joined an anti-gay right-wing feeding frenzy leading up to the Iowa caucuses Feb. 12, the Human Rights Campaign charged.
The rally, organized by several national religious political organizations, featured a political operative who was paid by the Christian Coalition to whip up fear of same-sex marriage all over the United States, HRC said.
"In the Republican presidential political caucus, they need an enemy. At the moment, we seem to be it," said David M. Smith, communications director for HRC, the largest national lesbian and gay political group.
Smith spoke at a news conference Saturday outside the First Federated Church in Des Moines. He was joined by Bill Crews, the openly gay mayor of Melbourne, Iowa.
HRC also helped to organize an Iowans Against Bigotry candlelight vigil attended by 250 people in front of the church.
Inside, GOP presidential candidates Pat Buchanan, Phil Gramm and Alan Keyes addressed the anti-marriage rally.
The other GOP presidential hopefuls who signed onto their reactionary "Marriage Protection Resolution" included Lamar Alexander, Bob Dornan and Steve Forbes.
The GOP front-runner, Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole, sent a letter to the anti-gay rally organizers, endorsing their resolution but telling them it did not go far enough.
"I fully support the position taken in the resolution -- that the state should not legalize same-sex marriages 'but should continue to reserve the special sanction of civil marriage for one man and one woman as husband and wife,'" Dole wrote on Feb. 8.
HRC labeled Dole's action as stooping to join a conservative right-wing feeding frenzy that characterized the final days leading up to the Iowa caucuses.
"This rally was the most insidious political attack on the lives of gay men and lesbians in the history of presidential politics," Smith said. "We are seeing here in Iowa a repeat of the viciousness of the 1992 Republican Convention. Each GOP candidate who attended this rally exploited prejudice against gay and lesbian Americans."
Jay Sekulow, lead attorney for the Christian Coalition's legal arm, the American Center for Law and Justice, was a featured speaker at the rally. Sekulow bragged that his group is spearheading a drive to put anti-gay marriage bills in all 50 state legislatures. The organizers of Saturday's anti-marriage rally also showed their latest hate video targeting gay and lesbian Americans.
"These candidates are using hate as a political tool to bludgeon one another, bashing America's gay community in the process, and alienating the moderate mainstream of this country," Smith said.
The Human Rights Campaign is the largest national lesbian and gay political organization, with members throughout the country. It effectively lobbies Congress, provides campaign support and educates the public to ensure that lesbian and gay Americans can be open, honest and safe at home, at work and in the community.

Let It Snow, Let It Shine - It's Holiday Time!
by phyllis
If FROSTY was a knitter........
He'd be shopping at Knitty City all month
Here's why: First of all, the Yarn of the Month is Blue Sky Alpacas, which includes the Spud & Chloe yarns as well. All BSA yarns and patterns are 10% off this month. Anyone who has knit with their yarns, knows what a pleasure it is. Look for their Metalico and Alpaca Silk if you want to be impressed, and Royal Petites are the perfect choice if you're knitting for a winter baby.
Talking Yarn....
Here are a couple of new ones well worth the talk:
Julie Asselin's newest addition to her line comes in 6 colors.
Subtle sparkle mixed with luscious yarn results in Holiday Magic.
We're very happy to be able to carry this special yarn from Tibet, which is spun from Yak down. Yak down is warmer than cashmere and credited with being softer and hypo-allergenic as well.
"Rewya" (which means "hope" in the Tibetan language) yarns are the result of a cooperative of people who live in Tibet. Profits from the sale of this yarn are reinvested directly into the community - thus making life a little easier and helping to preserve the traditions of Tibet.
Mugs of Joy
Special Holiday Gift
This is perfect for any Knitty City fan who craves a big cup of something warm along with their knitting project! Our over-sized Mug of Joy contains one skein of Malou, an ultra soft alpaca and wool yarn, and the five patterns. A great gift for your favorite knitter ... or yourself!

This has been a persistent problem as long as I can remember on this computer. At the screen that says 'Starting Windows,' it takes an extremely long time to load before the Windows flag appears and then the logon screen. By now I should've mentioned I run Windows 7. I don't understand why it takes so long to load Windows? Logging in and running Skype, Trillian, anti-virus, TweetDeck, mIRC, and two browsers as well as loads of gadgets takes like two seconds. I'm thinking it's something with the RAM or mobo; those are relatively old. Could it be any peripherals I have? Is there anything I can do to quicken it up? My specs: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T hexacore @ 3.5 GHz MSI K9A2 Platinum 790FX (not V2) 2x OCZ PC2-6400 1 GB 2x OCZ PC2-6400 2 GB (total 6 GB RAM) AMD Radeon HD5770 (HD6770) Crucial C300 128 GB SSD 375/155 MB read/write (OS drive) I've got three other HDDs totaling 1 TB of space asked Sep 13 '11 at 00:33 Yarvaxea Tim Fontana |
The question has been closed for the following reason "Problem is not reproducible or outdated" by Tim Fontana Feb 17 '13 at 12:04
Windows 7 takes just 15-17 seconds to boot up on my (C2D 2.2 GHz, 1 GB RAM) system while Vista not less than 20. Still, you can increase the boot time performance of Windows 7 & Vista using this simple trick. I'm also going to assume you have removed unnecessary start up programs and so on.... Although you can tweak other settings such as services and startup items, we are focusing on a single tip in your post. You should keep up with microsoft newsletters as they mentioned the importance of this tweak in their KB959233 article recently. So this this isn't hard or sketchy if you are running multicore processor with Windows 7 or Vista as the operating system then this will work .
answered Sep 13 '11 at 01:40 Enrico I've tried that trick and I didn't notice any difference at all.. from the 'starting windows' prompt to the four balls forming the flag appears it takes 20 seconds. On my brother's computer running off a HDD with overall lower specs completes it in like 3 seconds.
(Sep 13 '11 at 01:50)
thanks for that tip dude! i recently got a quad core hp and it used to take well over a minute and 10 seconds to boot for some reason, but now with a 4 processors enabled it boots in 40 seconds. i remember hearing about that before, but i forgot about it.
(Sep 13 '11 at 14:28)
Does cores = processors? I'm guessing so.

Try creating a new user profile and seeing if that profile takes as long to boot. If it does not, you have too much stuff on your regular profile, maybe you should consider uninstalling some stuff. answered Sep 14 '11 at 17:12 Duodave |
Like DDC said, you may be better off saving anything important to an external drive and doing a clean install. Windows shouldn't be slow on those specs. answered Feb 16 '13 at 18:57 jjb0894 |

[claimant's name and address]
Re: File No. S003139
Dear [claimant]:
This will acknowledge your letter dated April 10, 2000, which requests the name and address of the federal agency which has authority to determine whether your claim for back pay is specifically excluded from the negotiated grievance procedure of the collective bargaining agreement between the [agency] and the National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE), Local [#]. As you know, by letter dated November 12, 1999, [agency] advised the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) that your back pay claim was subject to the negotiated grievance procedure in the agreement.
It would appear that your administrative appeals would be limited to filing a grievance under your negotiated grievance procedure. If the matter is eventually taken to arbitration, an arbitrator will resolve questions of arbitrability. Exceptions to an arbitrator's award may be filed with the Federal Labor Relations Authority by either management or the union. See U.S. Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service, Salt Lake City, Utah, and National Treeasury Employees Union, Chapter 17, 36 FLRA 278 (1990).
If you believe that your position is not properly classified you may request a classification decision by contacting the [agency] personnel office or by writing to Classification and Appeals, U.S. Office of Personnel Management, 230 S. Dearborn Streeet, 30th Floor, Chicago, IL 60604.
As requested, we are returning the material that you submitted to OPM in support of your claim. I hope that this information will be of some assistance to you.

7 Celebrities Who Lost Big Endorsements
UK-based hair care company GHD signed Katy Perry as a spokesperson in 2011, but dropped her after their market research showed she was losing popularity in Europe. The pop star is now in a legal battle with the company, which she claims continued to use her image without permission. 15 Stars Who've Insured Their Body PartsPhoto: © Getty Images
Everyone from Jessica Simpson to Diddy has endorsed Proactiv. In 2005, Britney Spears even shot an infomercial for the skin care brand, but the ad never aired. It's rumored the brand no longer wanted to be associated with the singer, who often showed up in the tabloids with broken out skin. Celebs Who May (Or May Not) Have Had Nose JobsPhoto: © Getty Images
In 2005 Kate Moss lost her endorsements with H&M, Chanel and Burberry after a photograph of her snorting cocaine came to light. Today, the supermodel is back in good graces with several brands, including Kérastase, Rimmel and Mango. We just hope she can stay off the booger sugar.

After a couple of rehab stints and movie flops, Lindsay Lohan was dropped from Jill Stuart in 2008. The clothing line then replaced the troubled actress with Hillary Swank. 7 Incredible Celeb Body TransformationsPhoto: © Getty Images
Jessica most recently complicated matters when she got pregnant during her Weight Watchers campaign. Although the company didn't drop her, they did have to alter commercials to feature her big news. She did, however, face trouble in 2006 when the Tarrant Apparel Group (who owns JS by Jessica Simpson) sued the star for not wearing their clothing lines in public.

In 2004 it came out that Mary-Kate Olsen was struggling with anorexia and had to enter treatment. Unfortunately, it was around the same time that her "Got milk?" ad with sister Ashley was running. The Milk Processor Education Program quickly pulled the ads due to "sensitivity to their current situation." How To Tell Which Celebs Have Had Plastic SurgeryPhoto: © Getty Images
Perhaps Nivea should have taken their time before bringing Rihanna in as the face of their skin care line. As Rihanna became more and more known for her sexy and edgy reputation, the new head of Beiersdorf (Nivea's parent company), nixed the singer from their campaign. He said, "The advert starring Rihanna was a no go. I do not understand how Nivea can be brought into association with Rihanna…Nivea is a company which stands for trust, family and reliability."

Fall fishing and boating tips
Thursday, October 25, 2012
SANFORD—It's hard being a boater in the fall. Most of your friends on the water are gone, the days shorter, the waters colder. However, the lack of crowds or better wind in the sails is still appealing to many boaters, anglers and sailors, but safety must be stepped up, says the BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water. What makes the risk go up and what can you do? Here's five ways you can easily get in trouble this time of the year. |

Hi there!
First topic here and hopefully the first of many! This seems to be a really nifty community and that header with snowflakes makes me go hog wild! I'm glad I've found this place
So... as the title suggest, I'd like to use the occasion to post some of my stuff here, since I'm kindly allowed to.
Now, what do I have... oh, there!
You could visit my page at DA if you wish!
Here: http://esitoinatteso.deviantart.com/
Right now I can't understand how to upload an image in here because I'm dumb, but when I find out I'll then paste some of my ruff-stuff here ( resized I'd say, since all I have is bigger than 2000x2000!) so you won't have to click the link, see some shit and then wonder whether to complain about it there or in this topic instead... or maybe both!
I'd really appreciate critiques and comments... say what you want just, please, don't make me cry


text: Been a lurker here for a while, but after I bought my shield, I made an account to see some pics of shield holsters. Now it is time to say hi and great forum. Had my ccw for a few months now and just got a very comfortable owb for it and and went with it for the first time yesterday. Before that was always pocket carry. Look forward to being more than a lurker from now on. Cheers, Riley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Michael Argyle (11 August 1925, Nottingham – 6 September 2002) was one of the best known English social psychologists of the twentieth century. He spent most of his career at the University of Oxford, and worked on numerous topics. Throughout his career, he showed strong preferences for experimental methods in social psychology, having little time for alternative approaches such as discourse analysis.
Michael Argyle was born on 11 August 1925. He studied mathematics at university and served in the Second World War, later going on to gain a First in Experimental Psychology from the University of Cambridge in 1950. Two years later, he became the first lecturer in social psychology at the University of Oxford. At the time, Oxford University was, along with the London School of Economics, one of only two universities in the United Kingdom to have a department of social psychology. Argyle lectured for many years at Oxford University as Reader in Social Psychology. After his retirement, he became Professor Emeritus at Oxford Brookes University. One of the co-founders of the journal British Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology, Argyle regularly attended social psychology conferences, and had a great passion for Scottish country dancing.
Argyle died on 6 September 2002, at the age of 77, of injuries suffered in a swimming accident, from which he never fully recovered.
Some of Argyle's best-known contributions were to this field. He was especially interested in gaze. One of his best-known books relevant to this field, The Psychology of Interpersonal Behaviour, became a best-seller. Argyle made contributions to many fields in psychology, including:
Argyle, a committed Christian, published empirical works on the psychology of religion. His early work in this field was summarized in his book Religious Behaviour (1958). He later collaborated with Benjman Beit-Hallahmi to produce a later book, "The Psychology of Religious Beliefs, Behaviour and Experience" (1997). Both books show Argyle's commitment to empiricism in psychology, and list results of surveys into topics such as beliefs in the afterlife or frequencies of religious experience in the general population.
One of Argyle's most notable later contributions was to the psychology of happiness. Keen that more research should be done in this field, he published "The Psychology of Happiness" in 1987, 2nd edition 2001. In this book he listed and discussed empirical findings on happiness, including that happiness is indeed promoted by relationships, sex, eating, exercise, music, success, etc., but probably not by wealth.
Although social class is a concept largely studied by sociologists, Argyle's later work showed increasing interest in promotion of socio-psychological perspective on social class. Differences in religious involvement across social class and patterns of social relationship across social class are areas of interest to social psychologists here, and these fields show Argyle was keen to link this area to other areas which he had studied.
plus numerous edited books, chapters, and articles in learned journals

It's time to get down to the business of the Rose City Rollers intraleague semifinals and finals. Doesn't it seem like the season just started? Well, the regular season went out with a bang with last weekend's win by the Break Neck Betties over the Guns N Rollers. It was LOUD in there.
Current Standings:
- High Rollers (3-0)
- Break Neck Betties (2-1)
- Guns N Rollers (1-2)
- Heartless Heathers (0-3)
The first and fourth-place teams will play each other in semis, then the second and third-place teams. That means the High Rollers play the Heathers on Friday, May 4th, and the Betties play GNR on Saturday, May 5th. Winners play for the Season Seven Championship. Losers play for third place.
Any predictions?
Skater Resources
Last weekend was Squid Vicious' last game with Rose City. Good luck, Squid!
Since the last time we checked in, Mel Mangles has returned to GNR, and Scratcher in the Eye has returned to the Heartless Heathers. That could shake semis up a little.
(If you want this information in real time, btw, you should follow us @rosecityrollers on Twitter. We're not even that annoying, and there's good dirt sometimes.)
Coming Up
Semis will be awesome, but they're a month away, and we've got really good stuff happening in April. How about the first Wheels of Justice bout of the season? Chicago's coming to town on April 14th, and we want the Memorial Coliseum to be filled with purple. Skaters have tickets with no fees, and they'd love to sell you a few. As a matter of fact, I have some on me right now. Tickets are also available online.
Make your plans and your costume. We have a reputation as some of the craziest fans in roller derby, so let's show Chicago what's what.

Jolly Holiday Lights and Make-a-Wish
UPDATED 6:43 AM CST Nov 27, 2013It's the time of year again when, if you take a drive through Water Works Park, you can't help but feel some Christmas cheer.
Video TranscriptIt's the time of year again...where if you take a drive through Water Works Park you can't help but feel some Christmas cheer... But the real cheer spreads to sick children and their families. Last year Jolly Holiday Lights raised enough money for Make-A-Wish to grant wishes for 35 Iowa children suffering from life threatening illnesses. KCCI's Laura Nichols has the story of one very special recipient. I THINK I WAS KIND OF IN DENIAL AT FIRST BECAUSE I WAS LIKE I'M JUST SICK I'LL GET BETTER. When Taelor Williamson was twelve she started rapidly losing weight...and having severe chest pain. She never dreamed it was anything serious... until doctors told her it was. THEY JUST SAID THAT MY ESOPHAGUS DIDN'T WORK. Now 16 years old Taelor lives with a rare respiratory disease call achalasia ....making it hard for her to breathe or eat ...but easy for her to catch pneumonia... YOU SEE YOUR LITTLE GIRL SUFFERING LIKE THAT AND IT JUST TEARS AT YOU. THAT WAS MY SCAR WHERE THEY CUT ME OPEN. Surgery didn't work and Taelor quickly learned she would have to live with this disease and spend a large part of her life in hospitals ... THIS AFTER MY SURGERY WITH MY BEST FRIEND MORGAN... But it was in the hospital Taelor got some of the greatest news she would hear... Make-A-Wish was sending her to Hawaii I WAS SURPRISED AND SHOCKED ALMOST. A week away with her family...meant she could forget about being sick... ...and instead enjoy snorkeling, surfing, and meeting other Make-A-Wish kids ... IT JUST GAVE US SOME PEOPLE TO TALK TO THAT WE KIND OF GOING THROUGH THE SAME THING. A trip of a lifetime made possible by others WE KIND OF HAD A LITTLE FEEL FOR WHAT MAKE-A-WISH DOES, BUT IT WAS KIND OF FROM A DISTANCE. SO HAVING THE ACTUAL IMPACT OF A REAL WISH ON YOUR FAMILY IS SO AWESOME. So next time you head out to Jolly Holiday Lights...just think who your generosity could help ... I THINK IT'S GREAT. I THINK IT'S REALLY NICE OF THEM, AND I LIKE THAT PEOPLE THINK ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE BEFORE THEMSELVES. Make-A-Wish is granting a wish every other day in Iowa... just a great cause...so if you get the chance head out to Jolly Holiday Lights ...it runs through Janurary 1st.

Answer A mutex and the binary semaphore are essentially the same. Both can take values: 0 or 1. However, there is a significant difference between them that makes mutexes more efficient than binary semaphores.
A mutex can be unlocked only by the thread that locked it. Thus a mutex has an owner concept.
Operating System mutex - May 06, 2009 at 18:10 PM by Vidya Sagar
The differences between binary semaphore and mutex are:
Mutex is the short form for 'Mutual Exclusion object'. A mutex allows multiple threads for sharing the same resource. The resource can be file. A mutex with a unique name is created at the time of starting a program. A mutex must be locked from other threads, when any thread that needs the resource. When the data is no longer used / needed, the mutex is set to unlock.

Welcome to the first installment of our monthly MVP watch. This isn't a prediction of who will ultimately win the award when it's announced next November, but a look at how the voting might play out if the season ended today. At this point, the crop of National League contenders is much stronger than the candidates in the American League, but that could change by the time we do this again next month.Start Slideshow
With that in mind, here we go …
MORE: NL MVP Watch -
Why he's here: For starters, because he again leads the AL in WAR, both the FanGraphs version (2.5) and Baseball-Reference version (2.3). It helps his chances that the voters' default candidate, Miguel Cabrera, is having a pedestrian year by his lofty standards. Trout isn't on pace for his best year ever, but that's not a knock on his MVP chances. The numbers he's put up his first two seasons have been among the best in the history of the game. And his across-the-board numbers are still very impressive.Next
Advanced metrics: 2.5 FG WAR, 2.3 B-R WAR, .397 wOBA, 158 wRC+
Standard stats: .293/.380/.537, 6 homers, 22 runs, 19 RBI, 4 stolen bases
Must read: Gotta love the opening line to this Mike DiGiovanna (@MikeDiGiovanna) piece in the L.A. Times: "To harp on Mike Trout's strikeouts would be like hiking through Yosemite on a gorgeous spring day, taking in the grandeur of Half Dome rising above the tree line and saying, 'That's nice, but where's the other half?' "
In action: This diving catch against the Nationals was excellent, and the fact that it came off a line drive by Bryce Harper just adds a bit of irony. -
Why he's here: The nine home runs are nice, but look at that on-base percentage (.452); Bautista has more walks (33) than games played (32) so far this season, and he's top two in the American League in wOBA, wRC+ and wRAA. His slash line is very similar to when he finished third in the AL MVP voting in 2011 (.302/.447/.608), and it's no coincidence that this is the healthiest he's been since that season, too.Next
Advanced metrics: .447 wOBA, 187 wRC+, 15.1 wRAA, 1.4 FG WAR, 1.3 B-R WAR
Standard stats: .286/.452/.580, 9 homers, 27 runs, 20 RBIs
Must read: A quick, but insightful look back at the trade that sent Bautista, then a part-time player, from Pittsburgh to Toronto. From Ken Fidlin (@FidSunMedia) of the Toronto Sun.
In action: Bautista is a notorious pull hitter, but this line-drive double to right field drove in a run against the Pirates on May 2. -
Why he's here: Abreu set major-league rookie records for most home runs (10) and RBIs (32) through the month of April, and he currently leads the AL in both categories. Not bad for his first few weeks in the majors, eh? Abreu, who signed a six-year, $68 million deal with the White Sox this offseason after defecting from Cuba, has exceeded even the loftiest of early expectations so far. His ability to adjust to pitchers and make consistent contact will determine his chances of staying on this list in the following months.Next
Advanced metrics: .354 ISO (leads AL), .387 wOBA, 1.1 FG WAR, 0.7 B-R WAR
Standard stats: .254/.317/.608, 12 homers, 35 RBIs, 22 runs
Must read: This is an excellent look into Abreu's entry into the major leagues, by Jorge L. Ortiz (@jorgelortiz) of USA Today.
In action: Even as walk-off grand slams are measured, the one Abreu hit on May 25 against the Rays is special. The White Sox trailed 6-5 with two outs, and Abreu was behind in the count, 0-1, against Tampa Bay closer Grant Balfour when he drilled a 92-mph fastball on the outer half of the plate over the wall in right field, an opposite-field blast. -
This is the Pujols the Angels thought they signed to a monster deal after the 2011 season. He's played in every game and already has 10 homers and 25 RBI (he had 17 and 64 in 99 games last year) to go with a .296/.364/.600 slash line; Pujols's slash line his first two years in Anaheim was .275/.338/.485.Next
His follow-up to a fourth-place finish in last year's AL MVP voting has been solid. He's second to Trout in the AL in B-R WAR (2.1, third in FanGraphs, 1.7), and already has seven home runs and 23 RBI to go with 10 doubles.Next
The batting average isn't much (.240), but Minnesota's second baseman has eight homers and 11 stolen bases to go with his .367 on-base percentage and 31 runs scored, which ties Troy Tulowitzki for the best mark in the majors. Small sample size, sure, but still impressive.Next
Baltimore brought him in on a one-year deal, and he's been outstanding so far, with a .294/.369/.596 slash line to go with nine home runs and 29 RBI, production that's been especially important with both Manny Machado and Chris Davis spending time on the disabled list already this season.Next
Jennings' numbers don't necessarily jump off your browser window, but he's quietly putting together an outstanding season for the Rays. He's fourth in AL WAR by FanGraphs (1.7) and sixth by B-R (1.3). Jennings has four homers and six stolen bases, to go with a .294/.386/.505 slash line.

Who Wants to Pay $27,500 for a Dwyane Wade-Designed Watch?
Categories: Sports
The style-conscious shooting guard has teamed up with high-end watchmaker Hublot to design his own timepiece. Featuring Wade's number 3 on the face and his logo, the watch comes in Heat red and black. The texture of the face takes it cues from a basketball, while stitching in the band is supposed to recall a basketball net.
The watch will sell for approximately $27,500, which is the price of a relatively nice car, and probably more than all of a devoted Heat fan's entire memorabilia collection combined. However, only 500 will be produced, so they're reserved for the most exclusive Wade and watch enthusiasts.

I'm a midwest guy that lives and breaths .NET development. Thanks to stack overflow, google, work, and a constant desire to build better applications for users, I am alway on the computer learning. Specifically I like to work with: C#, Sql Server, PostgreSql, NASA World Wind, PostGIS, and ASP.NET.
I think I was born to put ducks in a row. My work/code tends to be very structured/systematic, and documented but often misspelled. It is also hard to resist editing a post when I can improve a good answer.
Feel free to contact me with my email address. I'm always interested in talking shop and comparing notes!

I didn't think going to college would make me feel more in the closet. when I was at home I never felt like I was hiding because i kept my life so separate. Friends were separate from teammates and separate from school, and if you weren't my friends then it never really came up whether I was gay or not.
But here those boundaries seem impossible. Right now I don't feel like I'm hiding, but as soon as the dates for the lgbt meetings come and go I feel like I will feel that way. (Feel.Feel.)
I would usually just be out, but my trouble is with my sports team. I'm this freshmen who doesn't even seem to click with my other teammates, and I don't want to be the gay kid on top of that. And I don't think they would even care usually, but they don't seem to like me that much, so I don't know if I come out that might just be the kiss of death.
There just feels like no one I can talk to about this who can give me good answers. There is a gay group for the athletes, but... I don't know. I've just always had my best friend from home to talk to but he's not here now, and no-one here knows I'm gay.
It's weird. There has never been more happy or felt more like the other students. But I've also never felt so alone.

From the editors of Condé Nast Traveler:
Though W hotels typically wow with nifty design details, here the most eye-catching element is simply the view from the hilltop lobby, where the sea appears to merge seamlessly with the infinity pool. The sense of floating evaporates only when you peer down to the beach villas and back up at the rooms stepped into an adjacent hill. At night, the W's party vibe takes overpan-Asian scenesters already have this 75-villa resort on their radar. If you don't feel like socializing, pop in the mix CD provided in your minibar, and you'll soon be at ease in your bachelor pad of a villa, with its red-and-black color scheme, sliding wall panels, beanbag chairs, and private pool. At the beach, which curves around a headland, villas have either a sunset or sunrise view, but a public access road means the area isn't completely private. Drink service that's limited to the bar area (and is not available in the beach loungers) is also a drawback, but the cocktails still come with fine sea views, as do the tables at the Japanese-inspired restaurant, Namu, where chefs work in an open kitchen.2011 Hot ListWhich room to book: Wow Ocean Haven villas 172 and 173 open onto the west-facing beach, for a flawless sunset.

All was nice on this family's vacation to the 'Great Outdoors' – the fresh air, flowing river and finishing of a lovely fry-up. But as Dad was making room for breakfast he found something grizzly in the outdoor loo which has even startled the moose across the river and sent the skunk scurrying away without a bad smell. Imagine you are the mesmerised moose and try to imagine what he can see across the river occupying the loo – that is what you are puzzling.

This data set contains microwave radiometry data collected at the Local Scale Observation Site (LSOS) of the Cold Land Processes Field Experiment (CLPX) in Colorado, USA, during IOP4 (March-April 2003). The LSOS is a 100 x 100 m study site located within the Fraser Intensive Study Area (ISA). The LSOS has flat topography with areas of both uniform and discontinuous pine forest, and a small clearing. The majority of the data consist of brightness temperatures at a 54 degree incidence angle of the accumulated snowpack at the small clearing in the LSOS. Other observations include upwelling brightness temperatures from short and tall trees, and downwelling brightness temperatures from tall trees. Snowpack ranged from 0 to 80 cm in depth.The microwave radiometers operated at 6.7, 19, and 37 GHz. The NASA CLPX is a multi-sensor, multi-scale experiment that focuses on extending a local-scale understanding of water fluxes, storage, and transformations to regional and global scales. Within a framework of nested study areas in the central Rocky Mountains of the western United States, ranging from 1-ha to 160,000 km2, intensive ground, airborne, and spaceborne observations are collected. Data collection focuses on two seasons: mid-winter, when conditions are generally frozen and dry, and early spring, a transitional period when both frozen and thawed, dry and wet conditions are widespread.

A pilgrimage to the Holy Shrine of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Ji is considered to be one of the holiest pilgrimages of our times. Popular the world over as Moonh Maangi Muradein Poori Karne Wali Mata, which means, the Mother who fulfills whatever Her children wish for, Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Ji resides in a Holy Cave located in the folds of the three peaked mountain named Trikuta (pronounced as Trikoot).
The Holy Cave of the Mother is situated at an altitude of 5200 ft. The Yatris have to undertake a trek of nearly 12 km from the base camp at Katra. At the culmination of their pilgrimage, the yatries are blessed with the Darshans of the Mother Goddess inside the Sanctum Sanctorum- the Holy Cave. These Darshans are in the shape of three natural rock formations called the Pindies. There are no statues or idols inside the Cave. Darshans are open round the clock throughout the year.
Darshans are open round the clock throughout the year. The Board has undertaken a number of developmental activities aimed at making the Yatra a comfortable and satisfying experience for the Yatris. So far, over 125 crores of rupees have been invested by the Board for providing various infrastructural and other facilities. The Board continues to reinvest the offerings and donations received in carying out improvements in various kinds of Yatri facilities.

Visual Hammer is the latest book by Laura Ries. Ries is a marketing brand expert who along with her father provides consultancy services to large companies and writes books about how to ensure a brand embeds itself in the mind of the customer.
In books such as The 22 Immutable Rules of Branding and The Fall of Advertising and the Rise of PR Ries and Ries look at how to associate your brand with one word or one concept in order to create a leading brand. For instance, Google owns the word search and Volvo owns the word safety.
In Visual Hammer, Ries argues that the word that needs to stick in customers' minds is a nail and what hammers that nail in is the visual hammer. Ries makes her case with many examples such as the Coke bottle, the BMW sign and the Red Cross. All are images that everyone knows and immediately associates with their brand.
Reading Visual Hammer, and the other books by Ries, you start to understand why some companies are exceptionally successful and why others cannot build their brands.
Well worth a read.

The opposition remainsSubmitted by Old Man (not verified) on Sat, 06/16/2012 - 10:02pm.
The opposition remains shrill, as usual...but I now believe they will fail. They showed their true colors when they submitted false signatures on the petition. They, like Obama and the Democrats will resort to almost anything to win. Just like the opposition to Amendment One, who can't lose gracefully, I expect lawsuits out of this before it's over. »
