2012 Alberta Election: Social Media Highlights

Building a Results Dashboard for the 2012 Alberta Election

More power and money to cities in Alberta? I don't believe you!
If you haven't already done so you should check out Cities Matter, a website created by Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi.

The Alberta Party's Big Idea Night (and new brand)
Earlier today the Alberta Party unveiled its new logo and brand package. I'll admit that I wasn't an immediate fan of the new logo.

ok, i know the most important map to riot is summoner's rift but why don't they make available draft mode in twisted treeline? i dare say that a lot of summoners would like that. 1)If we had a draft mode in TT that would mean more challange 2) we could practice for 3v3 ranked mode 3) is always better draft mode PS.1: it would be nice that riot see this thread post more my friends
I couldn't agree more, there are champions that are way too unbalanced, like Singed, Darius or Katarina, besides when Lord Van Damme Pillager was avaliable there were some off tanks that were just unkilleabe at low lvl like Olaf, Riven and even Wu Kong, I'm not saying they should balance champions acording to a secondary map, I'm just saying give us the ban choice.

bump agree
repost, Riotnome already said this will split the already low playerbase
Caecus Scius
I think if you ONLY offer draft as a type for 3's... then it wouldn't cause a split and it would fix almost every single problem that I see with this mode. People could still play normal in custom games or something. Its damn near impossible to practice for ranked.
^ i'm pretty sure you need to own some champions to play draft 3v3 (could be wrong though), meaning lower level players wouldn't be able to play 3v3s. i agree that draft is a good idea but to make it the default game mode doesn't sound right to me.
Sadly the player base for 3s is too small to support two queues.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2009) |
A single-family detached home, also called a single-detached dwelling or separate house is a free-standing residential building. It is defined in opposition to a multi-family dwelling.
A single detached dwelling contains only one dwelling unit and is completely separated by open space on all sides from any other structure, except its own garage or shed.
The definition of this type of house may vary between legal jurisdictions or statistical agencies. The definition, however, generally includes two elements:
Most single-family homes are built on lots larger than the structure itself, adding an area surrounding the house, which is commonly called a yard in North American English or a garden in British English. Garages can also be found on most lots. In older homes, they are typically detached, standing as a separate building, either near a driveway or facing an alley in urban areas. Newer homes in North America favor attached garages, often facing the street, as most recent developments do not include alleys. Houses with an attached front entry garage that is closer to the street than any other part of the house is often derisively called a snout house.
Terms corresponding to single-family detached home in common use are single-family home (in the U.S. and Canada), single-detached dwelling (in Canada), detached house (in the United Kingdom and Canada), and separate house (in New Zealand).[citation needed]
In the United Kingdom, the term single-family home is almost unknown, except through Internet exposure to U.S. media. Whereas in the U.S. housing is commonly divided into "single-family homes", "multi-family dwellings", "Condo/Townhouse", etc., the primary division of residential property in British terminology is between "houses" (including "detached", "semi-detached", and "terraced" houses and bungalows) and "flats" (i.e., "apartments" or "condominia" in American English).[citation needed]
In pre-industrial societies most people live in multi-family dwelling for most of their lives. A child will live with their parents from birth until marriage, and then generally move in with the parents of the man (patrilocal) or the woman (matrilocal), so that the grandparents can help raise the young children and so the middle generation can care for their aging parents. This type of arrangement also saves on the effort and materials used for construction and, in colder climates, heating. If people had to move to a new place or were wealthy enough, they could build or buy a home for their own family, of course but this was not the norm.
The idea of a nuclear family living separately from their relatives as the norm, is a relatively recent development related to rising living standards in North America and Europe during the early modern and modern eras. In the New World where land was plentiful settlement patterns were quite different from the close-knit villages of Europe, meaning many more people lived in large farms separated from their neighbours. This has produced a cultural preference in settler societies for privacy and space. A countervailing trend has been industrialization and urbanization, which as seen more and more people around the world move into multi-story apartment blocks. In the New World, this type of densification was halted and reversed following the Second World War when increased automobile ownership and cheaper building and heating costs produced suburbanization instead.
Single-family homes are now common in rural and suburban and even some urban areas across the New World and Europe, as well as wealthier enclaves within the Third World. They are most common in low-density, high-income regions. For example, in Canada according to the 2006 Census 55.3% of the population lived single-detached houses but this varied substantially by region. In the Ville (city) of Montreal, Canada's second most populous municipality, only 7.5% of the population lived in a single-detached house, while in the City of Calgary, the third most populous, 57.8% did.[2] Note that this includes the "city limits" populations only, not the wider region.
The term "single-family detached" describes how a house is built and who lives in it. It does not indicate size, shape, or location. Because they are not surrounded by other buildings, the potential size of a single-family house is limited only by the budget of the builder and local law. They can range from a tiny country cottage or cabin or a small suburban prefabricated home to a large mansion, aristocratic estate or stately home. Sizes in real estate advertising are given in area (square feet or square metres), or by the number of bedrooms or bathrooms/toilets. The choice in materials used or the shape chosen will depend on what is common to the vernacular architecture of that region, or the lasted trends in professionally-designed tract housing. A traditional log and plaster hut, a timber frame and drywall North American starter home, or a European-style concrete-and-slate house are all equally varieties of single-family detached housing.
Single-detached homes have both advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages are that the entire space around the building is private to the owner and family, and in most cases (depending on national/federal, state/provincial, and local laws), one can add onto the existing house if more room is needed, and they typically have no property management fees such as the ones associated with condominia and townhomes.
Disadvantages are that all maintenance and repair costs — interior, exterior, and everything in between — are at the owner's expense. Amenities such as pools and playgrounds are usually absent, unless built at private expense, or if a municipal playground is available. Some single-detached homes do have these features within the lot or nearby, given that their owners pay a homeowners fee similar to those in condos or townhomes.[citation needed] Landscaping and lawn upkeep costs are at the owner's expense.[citation needed]
From an environmental point of view, single-family houses are likely to require much more energy to heat in cold weather than do buildings with shared walls, because of their very high surface-area-to-volume ratio. In rich countries, the people who live in single-family houses are much more likely to own and use a private automobile rather than walking, biking, or using public transit to commute. The low density of housing leads to less frequent bus service and longer distances to commute, thus leading to increased car use. This makes single-family houses part of a much more energy and carbon-intensive lifestyle. The low-density nature of this type of housing requires using more land which could otherwise be used for agriculture or as natural habitat.[citation needed]
Inner city neighborhoods of larger cities tend to be densely populated and without significant room for houses devoted to just a single family. By contrast, the outer districts of larger cities are usually transitional areas with equal shares of smaller apartment buildings and single-detached homes.[citation needed]
Culturally, single-family houses are associated with suburbanization in many parts of the world. Owning a home with a yard and a "white picket fence" is seen as a key component of the "American dream" (which also exists with variations in other parts of the world). Single-family homes can also be associated with gated communities, particularly in developing countries.[citation needed]

I went back and did a diff of the log files generated by configure and make and found a few wrinkles. Besides the obvious differences due to different build directories, the PATH used by the package manager did not include /usr/local/bin so configure was not finding bison; also the trailing / was missing from CC="gcc -B/usr/bin/". I'm a newbie but these seem like trivial differences. After fixing up the build script for the package and fixing the PM's environment I rebuilt the package and this time the only differences were due to the different build directories. In particular, there was no difference in the output of configure. However, the md5 sums still do not match. Even though the checksums failed, is it safe to assume that the package manager executed the scripts correctly if the log files generated by the PM match log files generated by manually going through the instructions in the book? And if not, is there some other variable I'm overlooking? Thanks in advance, Walter ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for a deal?

[edit] Background
The Shadow Moses Incident. The game where Metal Gear made a splash in the gaming world with its unique and diverse 3D game play, makes its way into the Alaskan archipelago.
The year is 2005 and the Special Forces Unit Foxhound takes control of a nuclear weapons disposal facility on Shadow Moses. Their demands are the body of Big Boss, $1 billion, and the antidote for FOXDIE within 24 hours or Foxhound will launch a nuclear Armageddon upon the world. Solid Snake is dispatched to stop Liquid Snake at all costs, but little does he know this is actually a facility that contains a new Metal Gear known as Metal Gear Rex designed by Dr. Hal Emmerich commonly known as Otacon. Solid Snake discovers his relations with Liquid Snake, that they are twin clones of the Big Boss, who used to be the perfect Soldier.
[edit] Gameplay
Infiltrate enemy territory, avoid battles, and avoid being seen. Use the weapons you find to your advantage to complete your mission. You can use a disguise to fool your enemies and you must use the weapons at your disposal to defeat the bosses as you gradually get closer and closer to finding and destroying Metal Gear. Only then will your mission be complete.

James MaesApril 1997 |
Hello and thank you for seeing if I can write a damn thing. I have been reading Oasis for about 6 months and I love to write, so I thought that I might put the two together and write for Oasis. I'll tell you a little about my self, (due to the fact that this is my first time). I'm 16 (Almost 17), I live in a little homophobic town of 3,000 where if you comb your hair the wrong way they just might put in jail for the night. I've been "gay" since I was about in 7th grade. I have had one boyfriend, Jay (not his real name) and I play football. I attend Chester High School in Chester Illinois. I'm the student admin. of the computer network, I'm in the advanced math and computer science study course and I love to write, although I can not spell to save my life. I guess I'm writing this column to help express some feelings and dreams about my life. I have always wanted to become friend with other kinds of people, people who do not conform to society. Like everyone else here who writes, I'm not much more then another lonely gay teen trying to cope with the way we are. The lucky ones have found a way to deal with it, but I have yet to.
I hate peons. I hate single minded people. I hate people who hate people. I have thought about coming out the last month. But then I thought twice after we had a talk about William Shakespeare today in Brit. Lit. He might have had an affair with his producer when he was about 20 years old. It just happened that his producer was a young male much like himself. Then out of nowhere about five people in our class started saying things like "Queer" and "Faggot" and one of them went as far as to say that if he ever saw a "poop packer" ( I think that one is kind of funny) that he would beat the shit out of them just because they might have of looked at him. This is coming from a guy that is one of the "Leaders" of the school. Me being 6'8" and about 285 lb. I told them all to shut up and read about Bill (William Shakespeare) Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that William Shakespeare is the BEST writer of all time and that I mold my life after his, the only difference is that he could get a man and I still can not. Oh well, sad for me.
Today is the first day of spring. Very cool. I can only hope that this upcoming summer will be better than the last. I spent last summer working at the roadhouse and looking at all the cute teenage boys at the public swimming pool. It's OK for me to look at them because I'm the same age as them. This summer I getting a part time job at the local computer store. I will be working on computers and learning. And if I'm lucky I will get to meet xanou, my mirc b.f.
That brings up another good thing about life, mirc. I love IRC, it's where I think I first found out that I was gay. I hang out on #gayteens, #gayasian, and #gayftptraders, I'm a op on the last of the three. I usually go by "interex" or "Wong," my grandmothers maiden name. As you might has guessed, I'm part Asian, although it shows very little. Boy, I have already wrote quit abit but still have yet to say a damn thing. I think it time for a thought...
The condition that is now called gay was later called queer. The operative word was faggot and, later, pussy, but those epithets really had nothing to do with the question of sexual preference: You were being told simply that you had no balls. (James Baldwin (1924-87), U.S. author, Freaks and the American Ideal of Manhood, in Playboy (Chicago, Jan. 1985; repr. in The Price of the Ticket, Here Be Dragons, 1985).
After the thing that happened in English (the Bill thing) I was told by my teacher that back in the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries, homosexuality was almost as commonplace as heterosexuals and that most men where also bisexual at the time. Boy, I can't help but thing that must have been the time to live, I could be gay and not worry. And that brings up another thing. I think that my English teacher knows that I am gay. I have to write in a journal everyday and I have often just let my emotions fly and have wrote what I really thought. Looking back I saw that I wrote about my love of Jay (not his real name). She has got to know, but she's that kind of person that whatever goes and she doesn't judge people on their sexuality or their race or the color of their hair, but by what is inside and by what your mind can think of. If I ever come out, I will probably tell her first, she would be there to talk to and to help me. Anyway, I think this is the end of this column. Please e-mail me if you read this column, I have a very low self esteem and if you read this then I will at least know that someone out there is at least hearing me.

Within affluent societies, people who grow up in deprived areas begin reproduction much earlier than their affluent peers, and they display a number of other behaviors adapted to an environment in which life will be short. The psychological mechanisms regulating life-history strategies may be sensitive to the age profile of the people encountered during everyday activities. We hypothesized that this age profile might differ between environments of different socioeconomic composition. We tested this hypothesis with a simple observational study comparing the estimated age distribution of people using the streets in an affluent and a socioeconomically deprived neighborhood which were closely matched in other ways. We were also able to use the UK census to compare the age profile of observed street users with the actual age profile of the community. We found that people over 60 years of age were strikingly less often observed on the street in the deprived than in the affluent neighborhood, whereas young adults were observed more often. These differences were not reflections of the different age profiles of people who lived there, but rather of differences in which residents use the streets. The way people use the streets varies with age in different ways in the affluent and the deprived neighborhoods. We argue that chronic exposure to a world where there are many visible young adults and few visible old ones may activate psychological mechanisms that produce fast life-history strategies.

Zestica Fertility®: Personal Lubricant
A personal lubricant formulated to be Sperm Friendly
to help women, and the men who love them, conceive
A Hydrogel formulation that is sperm friendly
Contains Hyaluronic Acid which is naturally found in our bodies – the body's own natural water carrying molecule
Scientifically shown to statistically significantly improve the motility of poorly motile sperm.
Zestica Fertility® is a water-based personal lubricant formulated specifically to not only provide sperm with a friendly environment, but also to improve sperm motility, thus increasing the chance of conception.
This formula underwent a trial comparing it with other fertility lubricants and also with an in vitro fertilisation medium used in IVF clinics. During the trial Zestica Fertility® out-performed both competing products and IVF medium for sperm motility giving "trying to conceive" couples a better chance for conception.
The key ingredient of Zestica Fertility® is Hyaluronic Acid (HA), a naturally occurring molecule (non-animal sourced) already produced in our body.
A Fertility Scientist's Testimonial
"Using Zestica Fertility lubricant during sexual intercourse helps couples trying to conceive by giving them the assurance that sperm motility will not be reduced", says Dr Zhao. He also highlighted the fact that "Zestica Fertility is made from a natural occurring molecule, hyaluronic acid which is not harmful to sperm and helps create the best possible environment during sexual intercourse for couples trying to get pregnant."
"Vaginal dryness? Concerned about timing of intercourse?
Worried your lifestyle may be affecting
your fertility?"
Dr. Judith Fiore, N.D., Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine and Natural Fertility Expert shares
what has helped many couples achieve baby making success.

A couple of weeks ago Alfie came home from Morrissey's concert in Berkeley with a bunch of stickers that declare "Meat is Murder", "Fish are Friends, Not Food" and "Jesus Love Me, Too" (with a picture of a cute little chick). Morrissey is a pretty militant vegan and has some pretty strong views about people who eat meat. I looked at the stickers and pamphlets -- and went on eating my chicken nuggets.
Am I cruel and heartless because I eat meat? I don't think so, and to my mind, being accused of cruelty and murder doesn't seem like the way to get more people to become vegetarians. If activists want to change people's behavior, I think they ought to focus more on the benefits to people rather than attack their values and get them on the defensive.
Yes, I disagree with inhumane treatment of animals in slaughterhouses and cages. It's unnecessarily cruel, and the thought of eating a product of those filthy, crowded, possibly disease-ridden conditions is really not appealing. It's enough to get me to buy cage-free eggs and free-range chickens. And I'm happy to cut down on our meat consumption because it's good for the earth and good for our health. In fact, we've been eating far less meat this year, and we haven't really missed it in our daily lives. I'm happy to eat a yummy lunch of goat cheese pizzas with caramelized onions and peppers, or pack a hummus and pita in my kids' lunchbox, or have my favorite cauliflower and white bean soup for dinner.
But I'm not ready to give up meat or eggs or fish entirely! I'm comfortable with the fact that humans are at the top of the food chain. Besides, many cultures don't have the luxury of considering the feelings of the goat that they need to kill and feed to their kids in order to survive. Humans have been eating meat since the beginning of time, and I'm not sure activists screaming bloody murder will change that.

Category: Employer Mandate
Health Care Reform and the Employer Mandate
When President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, his administration required an employer mandate to offer healthcare coverage to employees. Like any good debate, there are solid pros and cons for and against such a requirement.
Prior to the act, the U.S. healthcare system imposed a heavy tax on small businesses and their employees. Fixed administrative costs, broker fees, adverse selection, and more forced these businesses to pay up to 18 percent more per worker than large firms for the same insurance policy. This often led to a reduced workforce, lower wages, and smaller profits.
Requiring all companies, both large and small, to carry insurance for employees is thought to level out the playing field. The employer mandate gives employers that pay at least 50 percent of their employee's contributions the ability to write off their insurance payouts by 35 percent. In 2014, that same write off increases to 50 percent. With the money saved, many employers say they can attract better employees, which builds their business and adds back to the economy. Some plan to pool resources to help negotiate better prices on insurance plans.
Many other employers, however, say that if they are forced to offer insurance, the cost will eat into their profits, reduce wages, and decrease the size of their workforce. Furthermore, they will likely be able to offer only barebones insurance, meaning employees won't get the quality insurance they need. Some employees are also worried that the cost for prescriptions or medical devices will increase, thus costing their employees more in the long run.
As the debate continues, turn to HealthReform.com for the latest information on health care reform and the employer mandate.
5 Must-Know Facts About 'Pay or Play'
from HR360 Recently issued final rules provide important guidance on the 'pay or play' provisions under Health Care Reform. These provisions require large employers–generally those with at least 50 full-time employees, including full-time equivalents–to offer affordable health insurance that provides a minimum level of coverage to full-time employees (and their dependents), or pay a penalty tax if any full-time employee receives a premium tax credit for purchasing individual coverage on a Health Insurance Marketplace. Below are… Continue reading
More Delays to Health Reform for Mid-Sized Employers
I guess delays have come to be expected with Health Reform. Well, on February 10, 2014, the Internal Revenue Service released the final employer responsibility rule, together with a fact sheet and a series of questions and answers about the rule. The rule finalizes rules proposed late in December 2012. Although the rule contains a number of transition provisions, three provisions seem to be getting the most attention – for good reason. The rule postpones until 2016 the application… Continue reading
Exchange Notices – What EVERY employer needs to do by October 1st!
By October 1, 2013, EVERY employer (1 employee and up) must provide employees written notice about the new health care Exchanges. The ability for the employee to afford coverage in the Exchange will vary based on a number of factors and generate many new questions from employees. Will you be prepared to answer these employee questions: – Will I be eligible for insurance on the Exchange? – How does our group plan (if one is… Continue reading
Further Delays For Obama's Health Care Reform
On Wednesday July 17, the House of Representatives voted for further delays in the current administration's Health Care Reform. In addition to a delay in the employer mandate the individual mandate is now under discussion. President Barack Obama responded, saying. "Despite all the evidence that the law is working the way it was supposed to for middle class Americans, Republicans in the House of Representatives voted, for nearly the 40th time, to dismantle it." New… Continue reading
Boehner Calls For Vote To Delay Individual Mandate
The implementation of the employer mandate provision of the Affordable Care Act was pushed back from 2014 to 2015, and now the individual mandate is at risk of being delayed as well. The mandate, which would require that individuals buy health insurance or pay a penalty, is set to go into effect in 2014. However, after the White House's decision to hold off requiring businesses with 50 or more full-time workers provide insurance, House Speaker… Continue reading
Major Provision of The Health Care Reform Delayed: What Now?
The Affordable Care Act was launched in 2010, and while it never had a formal start date, the Obama administration has announced that the implementation of one key provision will be delayed until 2015. That delayed provision, known as the "employer mandate," requires that any business with more than 50 employees must provide affordable health insurance coverage or pay a penalty. This delay will give administrators on both the business and government ends time to… Continue reading
Employer mandate pushed to 2015: What will this mean for business?
The current administration is delaying one of the crucial mandates of the new health care reform law, allowing businesses an extra year to comply with the employer mandate, which requires them to provide their workers with affordable insurance. The companies with 50 or more workers that are not compliant with the law will be charged a fine of up to $3,000 per employee. This aspect of health reform was to be set in motion in… Continue reading
The IRS and Health Care Reform
As the nation continues to move toward massive changes in health care policy, certain government bodies are responsible for different aspects of the legislation and implementation. The Internal Revenue Service has a particularly significant role because the Affordable Care Act (ACA) contains the largest set of tax provisions and law changes in over two decades. Many supporters claim that it only makes sense to ensure the IRS helps oversee implementation of 500 new provisions and… Continue reading
What is the Health Care Marketplace and How-To Navigate it
Employers and employees are justifiably curious about how the Affordable Care Act will affect coverage, insurance rates, premiums, and other aspects of healthcare. Designed to help individuals and families choose the health care product that is right for their needs, the Marketplace is a robust and comprehensive one-stop-shop for health insurance needs. Proponents of this model hope that the hassle of reviewing eligibility and plans will be eliminated and that easy comparisons will be made… Continue reading
Affordable Care Act Employer Mandate and Rules for Controlled Groups
With changes in the administration of healthcare coverage and benefits, many employers are left wondering how they will be affected in 2014. Regulations involving a new employer mandate will require shared responsibility for full-time employees and reasonable minimum value health insurance coverage. While this regulation will affect companies that have more than 50 full-time or equivalent employees, some organizations may wonder how they can restructure their organization to avoid these new Affordable Care Act (ACA)… Continue reading

Proper seat planning for the wedding
By Karen Rhodes
Smart seating: Careful planning of where to seat people at a wedding reception should be considered to avoid table guests who don't get along. | Photo by Fotolia
If you thought the guest list was daunting, wait until you have to tackle the seating plan. Forget divorced parents for a second and think about your friends, which groups get along, and which don't.
Some are from very different walks of life. A classic situation is when you've been to a private school and have an element of sophisticated friends, but also have friends from other aspects of your life — perhaps some less worldly. You love both groups equally yet the differences are noticeable.
Likewise, the families of the bride and groom sides may very well be from completely different backgrounds. A classic case is if the groom's family is extremely posh, has a big country estate and oodles of money, while the bride's family is more working class and shows up at the reception already inebriated. Of course the posh side turns up their noses. The bride and groom probably arranged the seating plan with his family on one side of the room and her's on the other, and the marquee quickly becomes a split camp with bad atmosphere.
Mixing the seating plan up doesn't work well. Yes it forces people to mix, and on the odd occasion with very outgoing people it can result in a great ambiance with lots of new friends made. In most instances, it just invites small talk and this doesn't enhance the festivities at all.
The traditional head table can be odd, too. The bride's father and mother sit next to the bride and groom, and the groom's parents sit on either side of the bride's parents, despite the fact they've probably only met once or twice or in some case not at all. There aren't actually any rules that state where people sit. (Even if there were, they could very well be broken or challenged). Why not put the bride's parents next to the bride and the groom's parents next to him, so at least the conversation is natural and relaxed?
Another option is to have an oval head table where the guests sit three-quarters way around, still leaving a gap at the front but basically sitting on a curve. It's much more sociable and everyone enjoys the meal more. Round tables are becoming more popular as everyone can see the head table. It's easier during the speeches, as no one will have their back to the audience.
Don't over-think it
When you create the seating plan, the best thing to do is do it once, go with your gut feeling, get someone to check it, then leave it be. The more times you go over and alter it, the worse it gets.
One word of advice is to do it a few weeks before the wedding. Seat all the relatives who you know get along together, all your friends together, and have a couple of family tables for respective grannies and aunties. There will always be a few odd guests left over, maybe family friends or the priest or an eccentric uncle you don't want to spoil anyone's day by inflicting him on them. Such a table often has funny consequences, and can be the loudest in the room. Don't be tempted to put together people you know don't gel, and hope they can settle their differences. It rarely works.
Moving on, divorced parents and respective partners can be tricky. Basically, if both your parents are alive regardless of whether they are still married, they all sit at the head table. If anyone or all of them have remarried then either they and their respective partners sit at the head table or the new partners sit on a table near the head table with senior members of the family or very good friends.
One of the things that comes up regularly is whether to have a children's table. Again it very much depends on circumstances. If they are all family, kids who know each other, it's a great idea. They feel special and responsible, and tend to behave better and enjoy the day more. If you simply gather up all the kids in the room and put them together it's painful, especially if they aren't very old. They tend to migrate back to their parents and end up sitting on knees.
Once you've done your seating plan and sent it to be printed, let it go. If someone cancels at the last minute don't worry. Have a separate rough copy for the hotel and caterers marking where everyone is sitting with special diets marked clearly along with kids' meals, and any other special requests. Another idea is to do the seating plan without place cards, so everyone knows what table they are sitting at but can choose whom they sit next to. Don't ever be tempted not to have a seating plan at a formal wedding, as it is a disaster. A family of four comes together and ends up being placed at four separate tables. Partners get split up and start demanding extra place settings on tables where there quite clearly isn't room. It's a bad idea.
Plan ahead, do your research, stick to your guns, and the reception will go off without a hitch.

Taking sides: Who has the uglier album cover? Kanye West or Taylor Swift?
When Kanye West's fifth album "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" drops later this month, comparison's to Taylor Swift's already-platinum "Speak Now" will abound.
But let's get a jump on the debate with the tools at hand: Which of these albums has the uglier cover?Click Track's contributors mulled it over for our weekly Taking sides post, and boy do our retinas hurt.
West hired painter George Condo to design an album cover that's already been rejected by certain retailers, not for its hideousness, but for its suggestive content. Swift has had no such trouble, but her album art is still pretty garish: A CD booklet brimming with portraits of the young singer looking forlorn as a fairy-dust of cursive script and photoshop glitter swirls around her.
Which album cover is uglier? Vote in our poll below and read our thoughts after the jump.
Allison Stewart: They're both pretty homely, but at least Taylor Swift's is in keeping with her aesthetic: She's a 20 year-old girl who likes bright colors and swirly things and, I imagine, putting little hearts over her "I"'s. Her Stevie-Nicks-In-Fairyland vibe is perfectly in keeping with that. And Swift's personal style is seriously good.
Her, I don't worry about. Kayne, on the other hand, should know better, and maybe he does: Nobody does something that ugly by accident, especially someone like West, who's a student of great design. I'm not sure why he would tease that as the album art, but no way was that intended to be the original cover. Just....no way.
Chris Richards: Can you imagine if the next Waka Flocka mixtape cover looked like this? Probably not. That's because Kanye West is the only hip-hop star who would recruit someone like George Condo to design his album jacket. And as jarring as the now-infamous Kanye-and-phoenix painting is, it still shows West utilizing some highbrow tools to push our collective buttons.
Taylor's cover, however, feels like it's trying to take us back to a decade I've spent half my life trying to forget. I understand that the '90s were Taylor's formative years and that many of the really-great songs on her really-really-great new album are about longing for a childhood that ended too soon.
But this CD booklet looks like a Sarah McLachalan album cover that ate too many Skittles and threw up on itself.
David Malitz: I don't think either of them are all that hideous! Kanye's looks like some cartoony Francis Bacon ripoff but it sure beats a sunwashed faux-polaroid of Yeezy standing next to a tree in front of a lake.
And Taylor's isn't as much ugly as it is just overbearing and corny. A dozen themed portraits to go with each song? Don't need it. Somehow, she one-ups Kanye on the conceitedness factor here.

Considering no one buys albumns anymore, is there a need for debate? I will buy neither, but I am sure both would have the same impact on me if viewed from my Nano.Zero.
The only downside to MP3s is that it made album art and inserts obsolete. sigh...

Forget the album covers. One of the artists themselves is ugly both inside and out. Guess which.

It's kinda awesome to be asked to judge a cover that has been redacted. If you assume the readers have seen it else where, why cover it? Really, it's not that offensive.
I definitely choose the blocked-out version of Kanye's album as the best. Very modernist.

Bearish traders have been asserting themselves in recent weeks, as Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL - 546.00) continues to spiral lower. Not only has short interest in AAPL increased noticeably over the past several reporting periods, but speculators are using options to play further downside in the stock (and/or protect their stock holding).
At the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX), puts have been bought to open at an increasing pace. The 10-day put/call volume ratio has risen from 0.59 on Sept. 21 (when AAPL pegged a new all-time high) to its current reading of 0.72. The ratio is now seven percentage points shy of an annual peak, suggesting the fervor for puts has rarely been more apparent during the past year.
It isn't cheap for these put buyers to stock up, either. Schaeffer's Volatility Index (SVI) has been creeping higher over the last couple of weeks, and currently stands at 31%, in the 52nd annual percentile. While this is an average reading, it's notable that the SVI has been moving higher, indicating that premiums have been increasing among short-term options.
Elsewhere, it's no surprise that bearish speculation is increasing outside of the options pits. There are now 16.9 million AAPL shares sold short, bringing short interest to a two-year peak. On a relative basis, however, this still accounts for less than 2% of the stock's massive float.
Today, the most-active AAPL option is the out-of-the-money November 540 put, which has seen more than 13,000 contracts trade compared to open interest of fewer than 11,000. With roughly 40% of the volume trading at both the bid and the ask prices, this is likely a mixture of new puts being purchased and old puts being sold to close. The November puts expire on Friday, so traders going long these options expect AAPL to dip about 1% between now and then.

Miami-Dade Firefighter Avoids Jail Time for Sexting 17-Year-Old Boy Who Later Turned Up Dead
The text messages were found on the boys cellphone after he turned up dead in June. Rodriguez sent messages to the boy, like, "I wanna (expletive) a young guy, like 15 or 16," and "When we having a threesome or have someone watch us (expletive)?"
Some of the messages may have referred to encounters between the fireman and the boy, but Rodriguez never faces charges for any physical contact he had with the boy.
Shortly after his arrest on 17 felony counts of transmitting harmful information to a minor, Rodriguez was relieved of service by the Miami-Dade Fire Department.
Now, Rodriguez has agreed to a deal according to CBS Miami. He has agreed to plead guilty to lesser charges of child abuse no great harm. As part of the deal, Rodriguez will have to undergo a program for mentally disordered sex offenders. The boy's father is in agreement with terms of the deal.
Rodriguez's lawyers argued that their client did not actually know that the boy was underage.

Featured Article
The state's Office of Policy and Management's Financial Advisory Committee held their monthly meeting today. As WNPR's Ray Hardman reports an item left off the agenda today could spell disaster for Connecticut's longest running state commission.
The FAC approves financial transfers to and from various appropriations for state agencies and commissions. Theresa Younger is the Executive Director of one of those commissions, The Permanent Commission on the Status of Women:
"This is the standard operating procedure for the state: Anytime you need to transfer money between accounts, which agencies do all of the time, you have to go before FAC for them to just approve the transfer."
Younger says she needs to shift $100,000 of their own money from their operating account to their personal services account to pay the salaries of their 6 staff members. Problem is - she can't get on the agenda to get that transfer approved:
"We put that request into the Office of Policy Management in Cctober for their November meeting, and then they didn't have a November meeting, and they did not have a December meeting, and we've gotten now to their January meeting, and we were not on the agenda."
It is still unclear why Younger's Commission was left off the Agenda for todays Meeting. OPM declined to be interviewed for this story. What is clear is that if the money isn't shifted by January 29th, the Permanent Commission on the Status of Women will be out of money and will have to scramble to pay its staff. State Representative John Geragosian, a member of the FAC, is concerned that by keeping this item off the Agenda that the Rell administration, who in the past had proposed eliminating these commissions, is trying to circumvent the budget passed by legislative Democrats last year.
"This way is not the way of getting rid of the commissions. We negotiated this budget in good faith with the administration, and we spent hundreds of hours in a room with them, working out the details of every line item of the budget, and these commissions were part of the budget."
Geragosian has requested an emergency meeting of the FAC to address this issue, before January 29th deadline.
For WNPR, I'm Ray Hardman.

(if there are men in heaven you will find war there)
i have an addiction problem, i just wanted to admit it somewhere
reality is repulsive
my actions are repulsive
i am a liar of the worst kind because i believe the tales i tell
i get caught in them and i am my own audience
but who could blame the call to be a stranger?
to forget yourself
to be a character in a different story..?
to deny yourself is to deny responsibility
to deny yourself is to deny your ghosts
to deny yourself is to reclaim innocence
i so hate being alone and sober
i need to be reminded i exist, or forget it entirely
otherwise i cannot bear being uncertain
sometimes i want to go somewhere and hide
until everyone has forgotten
even myself
Meanwhile _____ is my Berlin
where I know nothing but I know I could find peace
where no one can find me
But it's just a dream waiting.
This is the crux?
Do you know the way out of the maze?
Would you like someone to hold your hand... and not let go?
...but frequently fall flat!
But, your comment is appreciated.
...another life, I would be both willing and extremely honored!
But, regrettably... reality is what it is! :(
I had a thought today whist alone, before going back to a mutual group.
"Would they relish the thought of my non existence"
I have no productive advice but i felt to mention this here.

@jeff we played in a haunted house, nothing happened but we were about six and we heard the creepiest laugh coming from every corner of the room. we were home alone in a locked room in the basement with no vents or windows. we decided to give witchcraft a rest.
There was a time when i spent all my waking hours (and there were a lot of them) wishing that i could evaporate just disappear, or get hit by a truck, or have a bus fall on me like some freaky donnie darko style accident. That's not the way it is anymore. I hated being alone and sober or alone and fucked up or fucked up with other people or sober with other people or really just being, i hated being. that's not the way it is anymore, and if you don't want it to be like that, or to get like that, it doesn't have to. That's the truth and it's all i got.

Paris Hilton's EDM Vomit "Come Alive": Why This Song Sucks Worse Than Anything Ever
Courtesy of UMG/Cash Money
We want to start by reminding you that Paris Hilton is 33.
If, at that age, we are prancing around a sound green-screen stage dressed like a my-size Barbie princess doll, please, don't hesitate to shoot us. No adult woman should be stuck in such a stunted hell.
That she looks magically shiny at 33 is also a lie. And so is this new music video for "Come Alive," her latest foray into the commercial free-for-all that is EDM. Her image is as organic as the synthetic beat, and we'd bet money that Paris' voice was run through the ringer too.

I wouldn't wish tendonitis upon anyone.
If you've never experienced this as an athlete, or pitcher, be thankful.
I've battled tendonitis a few times in my life, once in high school and college as a pitcher, more recently as an adult, playing in an adult baseball league of all things.
This experience really helped me better understand the challenges of an athlete. Several years ago, I was asked to play on an adult baseball team. It was an over 28 age league and I was a little reluctant to do it. Not that I was afraid of competing after 20 years away from the field, but I was very busy at the time with four young kids, all busy with school and sports. But the tug to play got me curious to get out there and give it a try.
Well, I got the bug. I actually competed very well. Had a lot of fun. I was even clocked throwing in the low to mid 80′s. Not bad for a guy who had been away from competing for a while. I guess working with kids on helping them kept the game close to me.
My first season went well. The next year I was asked back to play with the team. After a few games, my patellar tendon (just below the kneecap) started hurting me. Even to the point where it was tough going up and down the stairs. I had to play third base and short and couldn't pitch.
After talking with my neighbor who's a physical therapist about why this happened and how to avoid it, he said that my legs were out of balance in strength and essentially the tendon was working overtime to support my knee. To avoid it, I needed to get my legs in better shape and in better strength balance.
Why do I talk about this? Here's a great email from a BioForce Faithful reader….
Dear Mr. Mooney:
"I have read many stories where fathers are telling you about their sons. I would like to share the same about my son, Jordan Pacheco. He is a sophomore this year but was very fortunate to make Varsity as a freshman last year.
He was a starting pitcher for most of the year and led them to a Play Off game, which they did not win, but he got recognized for Top Newcomer of Dist. 27 5A, Top Pitcher of Memorial High School and was averaging anywhere from 85-89 mph during all of his games. He pitched two – 1 hitters and had 11 strike outs in a couple of his games. He really has a gift that I'm hoping will take him to one of the top Division 1 schools. He was very privileged to receive a hand written letter from UCLA after his freshman year through his coach. This was very exciting for all of us, esp. Jordan.
At this time Jordan has been experiencing some pain in his elbow and the Dr. said it is "only" tendonitis. He was advised to take it easy and/or take time off from pitching. I am wondering if you may have some advise on how long a break he should be taking and/or how to treat his tendonitis w/out medication? Do you think it should require some physical therapy?"
Any advise you may have would be greatly appreciated, Alex Pacheco
First, Alex, my congratulations to you and Jordan with his success in high school baseball so far. Jordan should be very proud of his accomplishments.
Now about the diagnosis of tendonitis in your son's elbow. I've got to be crystal clear here that I'm not a doctor. I'm not trying to give medical advice here. I'm not qualified to do that. Here's the advice I can give you from a father of two college baseball players and a coach.
I would make sure the doctor is 100 percent sure that the discomfort is tendonitis and not something else. The "only" part of his comment is a little concerning. I believe tendonitis for an athlete should be treated beyond rest only. There are a lot of treatments available today beyond popping pills. There are studies out there that are even looking into how some foods we eat can contribute to some of these itises. These food can create an environment within the body that promotes there existence. Something to think about.
I would find a physical therapist in your area that is experienced with throwers and have him/her give you an opinion and look for any strength and flexibility deficiencies Jordan might have. There might be some needed strength and flexibility needs there. Make sure they look at his shoulder and other parts of the body too. Just because the problem is in the elbow, that weak link might be hurting because of another area in the body is even weaker.
You also need to find out the source of the problem. Was he throwing too much with not enough rest, is he working out specifically to be a pitcher? How about looking at his mechanics? Is he being efficient enough, or are the mechanics adding to the problem.
I suppose you are already looking at some of these issues, otherwise you wouldn't be writing.
Rest? Of course. But you need to do more than that too.
I hope this helps a bit. Alex, keep me posted on his progress.
For all the rest of you out there, please check out this tip on our website. I've got Rob, my website guy installing a blog function on BioForceBaseball.com. We are doing this for all of you to be able to sound off on my tips. To deepen our conversations out there.
In coming days, we will have better links on to the site to get you to the blog, but for now, check out the tip on the left side and click to read more. That will get you to the blog page.
Until next time….

In order to determine brain and behavioral sensitivity of nutrients that may serve as inductive signals during early development, we altered choline availability to rats during 7 time frames spanning embryonic day (ED) 6 through postnatal day (PD) 75 and examined spatial memory ability in the perinatally-treated adults. Two sensitive periods were identified, ED 12-17 and PD 16-30, during which choline supplementation facilitated spatial memory and produced increases in dendritic spine density in CA1 and dentate gyrus (DG) regions of the hippocampus while also changing the dendritic fields of DG granule cells. Moreover, choline supplementation during ED 12-17 only, prevented the memory decline normally observed in aged rats. These behavioral changes were strongly correlated with the acetylcholine (ACh) content of hippocampal slices following stimulated release. Our data demonstrate that the availability of choline during critical periods of brain development influences cognitive performance in adulthood and old age, and emphasize the importance of perinatal nutrition for successful cognitive aging.

Quote:In patch 3.3, Shield of Righteousness became a melee attack and became dodge-able and parry-able. This has caused a paradigm shift in our stat weightings, as Expertise and Hit now solidly surpass STR for threat. At the same time, the increased chance of ShoR misses has dropped Block Value significantly.
Quote: Expertise rating: This stat reduces the chance of your attacks being dodged and parried. You can get 6 expertise from talents and 10 from a glyph (not rating mind you). So you won't need that much from gear.

Game 2 is this morning at 11:30 vs. North Dakota Phenom. Looking for a bounce back game and putting two complete half's together.
Box Score Information here: http://www.misterbasketball.com/minn/2012stats/fri_2040_1.pdf#page=1&view=fitH This past weekend we took 16 boys up to SMSU Team Camp where we fielde two varsity teams. It was a good challenging weekend for both teams.
The other part of the weekend consisted of us camping at Lake Shetek for two nights. The boys all stayed in tents and could not have asked for better weather! Stayed cooled enough during the night and at the same time, heated up during the day for the boys to get out in the lake. We got some fishing in, canoeing, swimming, mini golf, and a water balloon fight in through out the weekend. All in all, it was a lot of fun and no incidents to report :-) |
