'OH HELL YES!' you say to yourself first thing in the morning.
You walk past a couple BB guns on your way to the kitchen for a cup of Hair of the Dog… Whiskey and coffee is the perfect way to start this Saturday. Who needs bloody mary? You need caffeine. You need whiskey.
Still in your bathrobe and slippers, you step out on to the porch, a cup of warm elixir in one hand and a BB rifle in the other. You squint out at the targets you and your friends set up last night… cans of PBR glinting in the sun.
You sit down on your rocking chair with the old-as-hell cushion and yes, this might just be the best weekend ever.
And it's only Saturday morning.
Oh Hell Yes indeed.
And right after this coffee, you're going to shower.
It has come to my attention that not everyone knows what 'hair of the dog' is either due to the fact that the saying is hundreds of years old or because of cultural differences (like people not drinking enough whiskey). 'Hair of the dog' refers to the time honored tradition of starting one's day with a shot of alcohol to minimize the effects of a hangover. It comes from the old medieval 'medical' treatment for rabies, which was to apply dog hair to the dog bite… thusly, 'have a bit of the hair of the dog that bit ya' came to mean 'drink some of whatever made you feel this awful.'
I personally am not a fan of treating hangovers with more alcohol (since it seems counter-productive), but Whiskey + Coffee = hangover cure.
Our soaps are formulated with an all-vegan combination of oils that is both delightfully sudsy in the shower and leaves your skin silky smooth and, if you wish, sooooo kissable (though we're not getting all up in your boundaries). We make them with love and laughter in order to bring the best of ourselves to you.
Every order is combined in a rustic, gift-worthy burlap bag and includes one of our bumper stickers.
If this is a gift for someone other than yourself and you'd like us to include a note, put that in the order notes section when you order. We'll hand write it in our attempt at a legible note.
Ingredients: Coconut oil, avocado oil, castor oil, olive oil, distilled water, sodium hydroxide, fragrance oil, and coloring.
All our soaps are handmade and, as a result, may have some minor cosmetic and weight differences.

Good value for £ food, pleasant surroundings and excellent service. Eggs Benedict were great!
We've been going to Balans West for Sunday Brunch for many years and they do an excellent eggs benedict. The service is friendly but efficient and it had a nice atmosphere.
However, I get the feeling that whoever buys the tea for the Balans group is a coffee drinker - the so-called "English Breakfast" tea is as weak as dishwater and while it is served in an infuser with a filter, you could leave it there all day and it still wouldn't taste of anything.
My tip - take you're own tea bags and ask for some boiling water.
This place is a gem! We stumbled across it for a late lunch and it was amazing! Breakfast until 1700 and amazing salads and food! I had the falafel wrap which was fantastic and my partner Bacon and Spinach salad which was also fantastic! Prices are really good too!
We used to be regulars of both Balans on High Street Kensington and on Earls Court and loved the atmosphere of the Earls Court restaurant, and always quite happy with the food served there. However this time I was really disappointed with the food and the service.
I ordered gnocchi pomodoro and when it came the mushrooms were burnt. As most of them tasted like charcoal I complained about it. I was however told that it was the way they should be but that they would kindly replace them by less cooked mushrooms.
When the waitress brought the plate back she said she had confirmation from the cook that it was the way the mushrooms had to be cooked, i.e. dried as much as possible. My remark that they were not dried but burnt got ignored. The new mushrooms were undercooked and the tomato sauce had a marked burnt taste to it but I did not complain any further.
I find baffling to be basically told that I don't know anything about (supposedly good) food and how things are done when a simple 'sorry the mushrooms remained 30 seconds too long in the pan' would have been great. Also going from one extreme (overcooked) to the other (undercooked) took me slightly aback.
I hope that I was just unlucky this time but quite surprised about the way the situation was handled.
i am quite choosy with my meals and I'm not one for 'light' portions. Going to a restaurant I expect nice hearty food that makes me miss it days later. That is exactly what Balans did. Among the beautiful music by The Giacomo Smith Trio and the lovely waiters and staff, the feeling was unique and the food was simply amazing.
Many restaurants lack on these simple qualities of creating a great atmosphere- but Balans definitely isn't one of them.
I was born and raised in London and try to go to different restaurants to spice up the mundane feeling of take-aways and home cooked meals and I would recommend this place to anyone who would like a little variety and a memorable experience.

Kenzo Runway | Fashion Week Fall 2013
Bold and Beautiful Asian-Inspired Prints Dominate Kenzo's Fall 2013 Runway
Kenzo's Fall 2013 collection showcased a stunning array of bold Asian-inspired prints (specifically those from India, Nepal, and China), spun into a sharp lineup of asymmetrical wrap skirts, tailored trousers, and structural tops. With the downtown girl in mind, designers Humberto Leon and Carol Lim utilized luxe textiles — the designing duo are also the creators of Opening Ceremony — and highlighted chic sweatshirts with angular skirts, jacquard suit sets, and an undeniable set of outerwear. The latter, featured a range of robe coats, midlength blazer coats, and wide-sleeved bomber jackets done up in glossy finishes and a fun evil-eye-pattern print. Needless to say, it was all about the prints and textures for Kenzo, made in the coolest, chicest way. Also to note were the peep-toe boots and sandals, tantalizing as ever and utilizing the same exotic patterns and metallic finishes seen on the clothes. See the most standout print looks from Kenzo's Fall showing now.

What if charisma could be taught? For the first time, science and technology have taken charisma apart, figured it out and turned it into an applied science: In controlled laboratory experiments, researchers could raise or lower people's level of charisma as if they were turning a dial. What you'll find here is practical magic: unique knowledge, drawn from a variety of sciences, revealing what charisma really is and how it works. You'll get both the insights and the techniques you need to apply this knowledge. The world will become your lab, and every person you meet, a chance to experiment.
The Charisma Myth is a mix of fun stories, sound science, and practical tools. Cabane takes a hard scientific approach to a heretofore mystical topic, covering what charisma actually is, how it is learned, what its side effects are, and how to handle them.
Please note: The accompanying workbook for this title is available at http://AskOlivia.com/book/exercises/.
©2012 Olivia Fox Cabane (P)2012 Gildan Media, LLC
"Fox Cabane's distinct writing style...makes listening to each chapter both informational and fun. Each exercise is practical and easy...If you are interested in increasing your ability to be charismatic in your unique setting or employment, this audiobook will give you direct skills to use" (PsychologyToday.com )
"Outstanding guide book to gaining charisma"
Highly recommend to anyone in business needing a boost
insightful, clear, well articulated
the exercises the author provided were helpful
insight into human behavior
"Nice little book, good techniques"
Lots of techniques/exercises mentioned, many focused on relaxation, mood and communication. Thankfully, there was relatively little theory. The authors personal stories were not overdrawn. This book won't turn you into a charismatic person, but you'll probably get something out of it.
The editing was a bit weird, I could tell where different audio was sliced in.
"Very helpful in navigating social situations"
It was to the point and never became borring.
I plan on listening to this book over and over. It brings up many interesting points and different approaches to daily situations.
"You can improve your charisma....Really"
Eloquently written and read. This book is easy to listen to and is packed full of practical and useful information. The thing I like the most about this book is that it is written from the perspective of actually improving the readers charisma. Rather than fill readers will lots of useless theory on charisma and human interaction, Cabane gives the reader real world practical advice as well as exercises to improve your charisma.
If there is any negatives about this book, it is so full of great techniques and advice that you'll probably have to listen to it 2-3 times or more to get the most out of this book. With that being said, she also provides the key exercises in both MP3 (see her website) and PDF so you have a handy takeaway guide you can immediately use.
I highly recommend this book!
"Excellent advice, narration a bit weak."
Yes, I've listened to it several times.
Narrator mispronounces a few words--most notably the word "often"--she pronounces the "t," which is very distracting.
"Good Practical Advice"
I loved this book, the outline of information was very easy to navigate. I could go back and relisten to chapters I wanted to focus on, which is challenging with audiobooks. The material was practical and the author gave good examples to help absorb it. I appreciate the 'tricks' the author gives to get you into the right mindset to be charismatic. The book had a positive impact on daily interactions right away. Overall, I would say it's worth a read for anyone looking to boost their leadership and personal skills. Or if you need a reference to help navigate and manage office politics.
The information was easy to absorb, the examples were interesting enough. There was a ton of practical and applicable advice.
I think the most memorable was the example Lisa gave from her own experience. How she prepares for presentations and meetings.
The call to action to practice the skills in the book at low stakes networking events - it makes them more fun and interesting.
"Good information, Scattered presentation"
The information is presented in a logical and helpful manner. The only problem I had with the book was the reader sounded like she was spouting the words from the page without actually reading them. There were even parts where the volume would dip dramatically (usually during technical explanations) which could have easily been corrected with basic editing and equalization.
Over all a worth while book, I just wish it was delivered a bit better.
For a book on charisma, both the text and the performance were very lack luster and dull. I found myself constantly tuning out and quite honestly, dozing off. Snooze fest and unhelpful.
"Repetitive and Boring"
Basically all Ms Cabane says in this book is that other people can sense your internal state. For example, if you can get yourself into a confident frame of mind, you will appear confident. She gives a few tips and tricks for body language but barely skims the surface of what is a very useful tool in manipulating people's perceptions. All in all, I didn't think it was worth the listen, and I don't recommend it.
"Same story nothing new"
Anything can be learned given enough time but the way the material presented is mediocre. Everyone wants to be charismatic a terrific subject but everyone wants to be a billionaire too.
no, read above
The presenter was not inspiring. HIre a new presenter.
Believe in yourself
Listen to Amy Cuddy in TED is inspiring
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

The Aggies have lost a member of their family. Texas A&M suffered a tragedy on Thursday afternoon when offensive lineman Joseph Villavisencio died in a car accident. The 22-year old was on his way home to Jacksonville, Florida for the holidays when he got into the fatal collision.
According to the Dallas Morning News, Villasencio was trying to avoid an animal in his lane but couldn't get back into his own lane in time before colliding with an 18-wheeler. Villasencio was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash.
"Joey V was a tremendous person and a great Aggie," tweeted Texas A&M athletic director Bill Byrne. "He was an excellent student. This is a sad day for Texas A&M and our hearts are broken."
"The world lost a very special person today," former Texas A&M head football coach Mike Sherman said. "My heart aches for his mom, dad and sister, all of whom were so dear to him. His teammates, coaches and fellow students will remember him as someone who would do anything for anybody. I will always remember him as always offering me a smile whenever we talked and would always answer my questions with a simple, 'yes, coach' or 'no, coach'. He was one of the most respectful and high character players I have ever coached. It was an honor and privilege to have known him, and to have coached him. Although his life on this earth was way too short, his impact on the people he met will be everlasting. I will never forget him."
Earlier on Thursday, Villavisencio had participated in a toy giveaway with his teammates at the Twin City Mission in Bryan, Texas, according to Texas A&M. The team had purchased gifts for children and families in need, and was giving them away at the event.
Texas A&M is scheduled to meet in Houston on Tuesday, December 27, to begin final preparation for the December 31 Meineke Car Care Bowl against Northwestern.

text: The truth about the veterinary technician shortage Will low salaries and high turnover threaten this career? Aug 01, 2008 By dvm360.com staff FIRSTLINE The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) ranks veterinary technology as one of the fastest growing careers. In fact, it estimates a 41 percent growth by 2016. Yet AAHA's newly released Compensation and Benefits, Fifth Edition, indicates turnover may take a bite out of the profession. Their research shows turnover is almost 30 percent in veterinary practices, compared to a national average of between 12 percent and 15 percent across all industries in the United States. And when they focused on technicians, the rate of turnover climbs to 35 percent. Will technicians stay? About 83 percent of NAVTA members say they'll probably or definitely stay in the profession, according to the 2007 NAVTA National Demographic Survey. And about 15 percent report they'll probably or definitely change to another field. This mirrors the results from the 2008 Firstline Professional Growth Study (see Figure 1). Yet 79 percent of NAVTA members and 85 percent of nonmembers agree or strongly agree that veterinary technicians are so underpaid that the feasibility of staying in the profession is declining (see Figure 3). Where will they work? For those who plan to leave, where do they plan to go? See Figure 2 to learn more about technicians' intentions. As the BLS notes, it may be difficult to make up the difference with new graduates. A look at the numbers of technician candidates taking the Veterinary Technician National Exam shows growth is flat. The American Association of Veterinary State Boards, the organization that administers the test, reports 5,425 candidates in 2006 and 4,664 in 2007. 2008 estimates put the number of candidates at 5,200. Technician salaries So what does this all mean? "We've got some great jobs, but we've got to step it up," says Firstline Editorial Advisory Board member Sheila Grosdidier, BS, RVT, a partner at VMC Inc. in Evergreen, Colo. "We're not just competing with other veterinary clinics for good personnel. We're competing with all other industries for good personnel." Related linksHow do technicians' salaries stack up?

DynaSis Debuts ITility for SMBs
DynaSis Debuts ITility for SMBs
Nathan Eddy
Posted 2009-03-30
ITility is a managed IT service designed for midmarket companies, offering security, storage, hosting and backup solutions, among other features.
IT company DynaSis announced a new software-as-a-service product for small to medium-size businesses called ITility, which offers midmarket companies a low fixed monthly cost for all of the essential IT solutions needed to do business such as e-mail, network security and data backup, while hosting essential applications and delivering them on demand. The company said ITility, which provides IT services over a secure Internet connection, allows businesses to access their data from anywhere at anytime without purchasing or maintaining servers, firewalls or other IT infrastructure equipment. ITility includes help desk services, on-site services, application hosting, Microsoft Office 2007, dedicated servers, managed anti-virus, anti-spam, managed firewall, Microsoft exchange e-mail, automated backups and system monitoring and mobility.
All of the IT equipment needed is hosted at the DynaSis data center, a recently built facility in Atlanta with 24-hour server monitoring, environmental monitoring, high speed Internet feeds, re-generated power via a three grid substation, limited access with biometric finder and retina scanners and around-the-clock surveillance. The company says the benefits ITility brings to SMBs are reduction of IT investment (with ITility, DynaSis says the only equipment SMBs need is basic office PCs).
DynaSis Vice President Chas Arnold said ITility allows the SMB to get out of the IT and data center business and focus on what they do best. "Whether you are a five-person company, or a 100 person company, IT infrastructure has a high cost of entry," he said. "With DynaSis ITility, the SMB benefits from the infrastructure and data center services the Fortune 500 have, for a low cost, no hassle solution that works when and where they need it to. Data access is no longer constricted by location, freeing employees to work anywhere and anytime, giving them increased productivity." DynaSys President David Moorman says the SMBs he see are spending huge amounts of time and money trying to maintain technologies that do not give them a competitive advantage. "The new concept in business is to focus on technologies that offer businesses a competitive advantage like Business Intelligence, CRM, ERP, etc., and get out of the IT plumbing business," he said. "ITility was designed for just that."

I'm having a problem asking the user to validate their entry if they enter something other than a number.
I know I'm close.
Here is what I came up with so far...
// Validate the salary entered while (salaries.length < 0) { System.out.print("Please enter a number greater than 0. "); salaries = keyboard.nextInt(); }
Here is the full code:
public class Salaries { public static void main(String[] args) { // Create a Scanner object to read input. Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in); String name; String input; double salary; String inputEmployees; double number; int EMPLOYEES; // Determine the total number of employees System.out.print("How many employees do you have?"); EMPLOYEES = keyboard.nextInt(); // Create an array to hold employee names. String[] names = new String[EMPLOYEES]; // Create an array to hold employee salaries. int[] salaries = new int[EMPLOYEES]; // Get each employee's name. for (int index = 0; index < names.length; index++) { System.out.print("What is the employee name for employee number " + (index + 1) + ": "); names[index] = keyboard.next(); } // Get each employee's salary. for (int index = 0; index < salaries.length; index++) { System.out.print("What is the employee salary for employee number " + (index + 1) + ": "); salaries[index] = keyboard.nextInt(); } // Validate the salary entered while (salaries.length < 0) { System.out.print("Please enter a number greater than 0. "); salaries = keyboard.nextInt(); } // Display the average double total = 0; // initialize accumulator double average;// Will hold the average for (int index = 0; index < salaries.length; index++) total += salaries[index]; average = total / salaries.length; System.out.println("The average is :" + average); // Calculate and display the highest salary int highest = salaries[0]; for (int index = 1; index < salaries.length; index++) { if (salaries[index] > highest) highest = salaries[index]; } System.out.println("The highest salary is :" + highest);

Scanner's nextInt() method will throw an exception if the next token cannot be parsed as an int, so you will need to validate before calling that.
Hint: Check Scanner's other methods in the
to see if there's a method that will check to see if the next token is an int.
Also, how much validation do you want/need to do here? For example, what if the user enters a dollar sign? Or misplaced commas? Or a decimal point? Or extra spaces? In those cases, you might be better off reading the input as a
, and then removing any character that is not a digit. (For that approach, see the Character class.)

Gerontology certification questions
0 I'm all signed up to take the gerontology certification through the NFLPN. Has anybody taken the exam already? Which books did you use to study? How many questions were there? What type of questions?(multiple choice, true/false, fill-in) How long did it take for you to receive the certification?
The CD they send out as "study materials" is boring and very difficult to watch. I bought this book http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/032...ls_o04_s00_i00, but it seems overkill and probably meant for RNs.
I just want to get an idea of what the exam is like so I know how to study for it.

Made this song a couple months back, its pretty cool though. I really like the transition thing I did halfway through the song. I dunno, I like to experiment with my music. Little catchy too, yeah?
Rated 3 / 5 stars
i don't like how the piano feels in this, like it just goes BANG and cuts out immediately. doesn't feel right to me in this song.
and for me that first riff is kinda annoying to listen to even once, so the repetition isn't really the issue haha
otherwise, i enjoyed the second half of the track and those distorted backing synths in particular are really nice.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
For starters, the synth melody is overly repetitive, going on for 49 seconds >_< Plus the bassline has been repeating its shift between B and A# for over a minute. Listening to the intro made me wonder whether this was experimental, or something a person in GCSE would do if he had a DAW and started making music for his class project... it really gave off an uneasy vibe with all those repetitions. What *would* be catchy is if you had a song with a singable melody, a memorable melody, but certainly not one that repeated for that long a period of time. Honestly, even the piece of background music, 'VS Kracko' from Kirby's Epic Yarn, didn't come to THAT amount of repetition even though it was a very short loop!
1:00 has those beautiful, watery synths that come in and create a beautiful ambience within the piece. That part is quite alright to listen to -- I really like what you've done with those watery synths. Might I say, it's my favourite. I notice it's the part you really enjoy as well.
1:43 has a variation in the bass AT LAST! Some parts sound like they're trying to create a bridge section to link up to another. I got disappointed at the very end because there could've been a sort of breakdown before bringing the general tension of the piece back to normal (for lack of a better word) -- variation in a piece does suggest buildup, and it was kinda sad because the piece just ended like that.
TL;DR: There is one hit and a lot of misses, from what I've heard. I do understand that in experimental music, you play with all of its forms, whether it be chords or melodies. But that doesn't mean we throw away our understanding of general tonality. Like that intro, for instance, which gashed it a lot. If anything, it should complement our understanding of general tonality.
What do you want your experimental song to evoke? What do you want it to BE, either to yourself or to the listener? Ask yourself these questions, and these might provide you a bit of guidance on how to proceed.
Hmm, I thought the synth melody was nice and a bit catchy and I added a tad variety to the background with it to try to make it not overly repetitive. The bass line has like 7 different notes (if counting octaves) its hitting in the first part of the song so I'm not sure what you're saying about it just shifting between B and A#...
Thanks for the compliment about those watery synths, but that is actually my guitar playing, not a synthesizer. I'm not sure I completely agree with what you were saying, but I thank you for taking the time to review my song as such.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
I wouldn't say Indie...it's more techno-like...
but yeah it was pretty good.
Techno usually doesn't have piano or guitars? I dunno, its more experimental and indie covers a lot of ground. But thank you for listening and enjoying it :)

Digital Book World: snowstorm gets in the way
January 26, 2011 | 10:03 am
By Paul Biba
Sorry, but the oncoming snowstorm is hitting my home base and I've been advised by local weather watchers (wife) that I should get on the road (I have to drive about an hour) before it gets really bad this afternoon. So I'm afraid I'll have to miss the remaining presentations today – which is a pity because there is some good stuff coming up.
I'm off.

Jetta Operating Co., a 24-year-old privately held oil and gas company in Fort Worth, and a related entity plan a 26-story mixed-use tower downtown at Taylor and Fifth streets on a site once owned by the Star-Telegram.
Six candidates have filed for the two open seats on the Tarrant Regional Water Board, setting up a battle that could potentially shift the balance of power on the board and the priorities of one of the largest water districts in Texas.
Fort Worth Near Southsiders and city officials broke ground Monday on the 18-month rebuild of South Main Street between Vickery Boulevard and West Magnolia Avenue.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Taser International, the stun-gun maker emerging as a leading supplier of body cameras for police, has cultivated financial ties to police chiefs whose departments have bought the recording devices, raising a host of conflict-of-interest questions.
The POA, which recently demolished its one-story building at 904 Collier St. near downtown, is planning a five-story replacement.
The Associated Press
The price of crude oil rose Monday as escalating Russia-Ukraine tensions and the resignation of Libya's interim prime minister added to uncertainties about oil supplies.
Benchmark U.S. crude for May delivery was up 69 cents at $104.43 a barrel at 0813 GMT in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract rose 34 cents Friday to close at close at $103.74.
Ukraine's government announced Sunday it was sending in troops to try to quash a pro-Russian insurgency in eastern Ukraine despite warnings from the Kremlin. Markets have been rattled by concern Western sanctions against Moscow might disrupt Russian exports of oil and gas.
Desmond Chua, market analyst at CMC Markets in Singapore said the tensions helped to push up oil prices. Russia is a crucial supplier of oil and natural gas to Europe
"I guess we have seen a slight increase in the geopolitical premium," Chua said.
"We also have fears about the resignation of Libya's prime minister, in that sense adding on to the uncertainty in its oil supplies," he said.
Abdullah al-Thinni was the second Libyan prime minister to resign within two months, underlining the nation's instability after the fall of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi in 2011.
Libya is part of the 12-member Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, the group that produces 40 percent of world oil supplies. Signs that Libyan oil production would return to normal levels helped to lower oil prices last week. But government instability is likely to delay the handing back of refineries currently controlled by militias.
In other energy futures trading in New York:
— Wholesale gasoline was up 1.5 cents at $2.991 a gallon.
— Natural gas was down 1.1 cents at $4.609 per 1,000 cubic feet.
— Heating oil rose 2.8 cents at $2.962 a gallon.

In my PowerShell script, I'm creating a custom object with NoteProperties:

$foo | Add-Member -type NoteProperty -name Something -value [int]dataRow["Field"]
But then later in the code, I need to do:

On that line, I get the error message
Property 'Something' cannot be found on this object; make sure it exists and is settable. At ... + CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (CoreMajor:String) [], RuntimeException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PropertyNotFound

A tiny dragon, pickled in formaldehyde, has been found in a garage in Oxfordshire. Its origins trace back to the 1890s when it was given to the British Natural History Museum by German scientists.

Luckily someone saved it, and somehow, years later, it ended up in the Oxfordshire garage.…

Of course, there's nothing to stop someone making a statue of Jesus out of cheese and selling it, but in this case there's no way to buy what Cheesus Industries claims to be producing. In reality, Cheesus Industries appears to be a satirical promotional tool for the 'cheesy' lounge singer Richard Cheese.

But there is a lot of doubt about whether Charlie ever belonged to Churchill. Churchill's family is denying that Winston ever owned a parrot. Charlie…

From Couch Potato to Bodybuilder —
JohnStoneFitness.com is a site that documents the remarkable physical transformation of a man named John Stone. Within the space of a few months he goes from being a pale, flabby, out-of-shape guy, into being a buff and muscular bodybuilder. Emily emailed me to ask if the site was for real. She felt that his muscle development happened a little too quickly to be believable, and quite a few people whom I've shown the site to have had the same reaction. But I would say it's definitely…

My Pet Fat —
This should be a joke, but I don't think it is. Apparently inspired by the pet rock phenomenon of decades ago, an entrepreneur is now trying to sell globs of artificial fat under the name 'My Pet Fat.' The gimmick is that carrying around this artificial fat will supposedly inspire you to eat less and thus lose unwanted body fat. This is so dumb that it has to be real.

How Much For That State? —

Phantom is not a Hoax —
Back in August I noted there were rumors that the Phantom game console was just a hoax. Turns out it's real.

I See Jesus —
Pareidolia is defined as the perception of meaningful images in random patterns. In other words, seeing things that aren't really there. For instance, people might see a face in a cloud. Or they might see the Virgin Mary in the window of a Boston hospital. When people start seeing religious images on the walls or windows of buildings, it almost always leads to good business for the business affected, as massive crowds flock there to see the image. So now there's a company calling itself…

Floral Sculpture Clinic —
I'm not sure if this is real or fake. The Floral Sculpture Clinic says that it will implant bone tissue sculpted into the shape of a flower beneath your skin. The result will be a visibly raised bony pattern on your skin. If real, it's very strange.Update: Boing Boing reports that the Floral Sculpture Clinic is indeed a hoax. It's part of a conceptual art project dreamed up by the Dutch artist Simone Van Bakel. The images of the inserted implants are photoshopped.

The Indian Rope Trick —
A new book by Peter Lamont chronicles the history of the Indian rope trick. According to him the trick is a hoax, not just in the sense that it's an illusion. Rather, in the sense that the trick never existed. It was never performed. In fact, it began its life in 1890 as the fictional creation of a Chicago reporter. The book is reviewed by The Guardian.

Flatulent Technologies —
Flatulent Technologies is a company that is committed to "extracting energy from everything that stinks or rots." Sounds like a great idea. The company's NYSE ticker symbol is even better: FART. Too bad a little disclaimer at the bottom of the company's webpage admits it's a parody.

C. R. Bard, Inc. (BCR) - Product Pipeline Analysis
- Published: April 2012
The ratings on Murray Hill, N.J.-based C.R. Bard Inc. reflect the company's strong business risk profile and modest financial risk profile. The ratings also overwhelmingly reflect the medical device manufacturer's solid position across several business segments, its cash flow, and strong liquidity. Bard's strong business risk profile is supported by its solid market-share positions across oncology, surgical, urology, and vascular product markets, with a particular strength in urology catheters and specialty access products. The company derives the majority of revenues from products for which it has a No. 1- or No. 2-market share, and the company is not overly reliant on any particular device for its revenues. However, the ratings also reflect potential competitive pressures from other manufacturers and stagnant...

Linda Thompson The following message was received on July 3, 1996, by
electronic mail:
Message-Id: <email@example.com>
You are advised that I have already begun the process of suing the
Anti-Defamation League for writing numerous false and defamatory articles
about me and that you have republished one such article. You are not immune
from suit in the United States for the republication of libel.
This is your notice required by Indiana law prior to suit that I intend to
sue you, and the organizations sponsoring you, Congregation Emanu-El, 1461
Blanshard St., Victoria, British Columbia, Canada V8W 2J3 and San Antonio
Area Foundation Nizkor Fund, P.O. Box 120366, San Antonio, TX 78212-9566
for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress,
misappropriation of name, and endangering the life and safety of myself and
my family by republishing the ADL article about me on your website.
Remove it immediately. I expect an immediate full apology and retraction
for being associated, falsely, by you and by implication, and by
republication of falsehoods, with so-called "racists" or "nazis."
Linda Thompson
Mr. McVay's
response was to request specifics with regard
to the "defamation":
Please be more specific. There are over 4,000 files on this
system, and multiple pages from the ADL in the United States.
Thank you,
The response from Ms. Thompson was an exact
copy of the initial message, which failed to identify the
allegedly libelous material.
Since Ms. Thompson's name appears within three reports published
by the ADL,
and since Nizkor has archived all three of these reports and
provided access to them via the worldwide web, the nature and
specific details of the alleged defamation remains unknown.
We invited Ms. Thompson to provide us with the specifics we have requested with regard to this alleged defamation, as we cannot consider
this matter further without knowing which ADL article her
electronic mail refers to.
On July 5, 1996, she was kind enough to do so.
Although she was unable to provide a valid filename,
we responded by suggesting a likely
file with a similar name, and asked Ms. Thompson to confirm our identification,
and, if our surmise proved correct, to define the defamation she
alleged was contained within. We also provided the URL for the
web version of the file (after two false starts replete with
typographical errors), so that Ms. Thompson could view both.
On July 6, we received additional
clarification from Ms. Thompson. It claimed that Nizkor
had misapproprated her name for our "commercial

This weekend is Mother's Day here in the United States and I plan on taking my family to the Wisconsin Dells for a few days of rest and relaxation. I know Liane is supposed to be the one who is resting and relaxing, but I am sure I will enjoy some of that as well. It will be the first time our daughter has been to a waterpark as well so that should be fun for the entire family. Since this Sunday is Mother's Day, I thought I would share with you Moms some really simple tips that do a great job of fighting fat. Men, you can benefit from these as well. In fact, just a few simple changes in lifestyle can make a dramatic difference in your belly, butt, hips and thighs. So be sure to put these tips to good use: Mother's Day Fat Fighting Tip #1 - Avoid soft drinks, juices and any other liquids loaded with sugar. All these drinks are very high in useless calories. A 12 oz. can of cola typically packs 150 calories worth of sugar! Drink a couple of those a day and you're packing on the belly fat! Mother's Day Fat Figthing Tip #2 - Record what you eat and drink. Most moms - and people in general - are shocked at the amount of food and calories that they are REALLY consuming when they track it. And be honest, many times when people do this exercise they "forget" to write down the foods they nibble on here and there. It ALL adds up. Mother's Day Fat Fighting Tip #3 - Eat 5 to 10 servings of fruits and veggies each day. This will help you meet your micronutrient needs for the day. And that is critical to your body's ability to burn fat off your belly, butt, hips and thighs. Now, if you're having trouble eating all your fruits and veggies I've got some good news for you. Prograde Nutrition decided to have a last minute Mother's Day sale on the powerful Women's VGF 25+. You can save 15% on this awesome product made from 25 veggies, greens and fruits. All the details are below. Happy Mother's Day! I also hope you enjoy some rest and relaxation as well. Yours in health, Jayson Hunter RD, CSCS PS - Here are all the details on Prograde Nutrition's 15% off Women's VGF 25+ Mother's Day sale: - When you checkout you will enter this coupon code to save the 15%: mom2009 - If you choose the Smart Ship option the 15% off applies only to the first purchase. - Shipping will take 3-5 days domestically, so while we HIGHLY recommend you jump all over this sale, don't purchase these as a gift expecting them to be there for Mother's Day itself. Buy them as a healthy gift for yourself or others. - The offer cannot be combined with others from Prograde and it ends TONIGHT, Friday, May 8th at 11:59pm EST. - Women's VGF 25+ is NOT available in stores anywhere. You can only find them online here: http://ProfessionalGradeNutrition.com/vgfwomen No tags for this post. |

Natarat Lakha on finding the spotlight in showbiz for transgender people
- Published: 29 Aug 2013 at 00.00 | Viewed: 3,462 | Comments: 0
- Newspaper section: Life
- Writer: Yanapon Musiket
It is a fact: Thai transgender women are among the most beautiful in the world. Compared to many countries, Thailand is open-minded about transgender people where there are places for them to stand proud, especially in the entertainment industry.
Although movies and soap series sometimes portray LGBT people in exaggerated or misleading ways _ usually as shrieking clowns _ today showbiz has made way for a number LGBT talents. In the comedy-drama film Tangwong, directed by Kongdej Jaturanrasmee and which opens today, we see a character played by transgender actress Natarat Lakha _ as pretty as any lady. This is one role that portrays a trans as a flesh-and-blood human being.
Natarat plays a woman who earns her living as a traditional Thai dancer at the shrine. In the film, which explores Thai identities, as well as our political and superstitious belief, her character has to teach a group of students to perform a Thai dance in order for them to fulfil a pledge made with a local deity.

Factors Associated with Duck Nest Success
in the Prairie Pothole Region of Canada
Nesting Chronology
We estimated the date each nest was initiated by counting back from the date it was found, 1 day for each egg in the clutch and one day for each day of incubation minus 1. We calculated median date of nest initiation and interquartile range of initiation dates for each of the 5 common species in each area-year. For each of the 5 common species, we performed multiple regression analyses relating (1) median date of nest initiation and (2) interquartile range of initiation dates to nest success, percentage of seasonal wetlands that were wet in May, and average temperature and total precipitation each month, April through June. We used the interquartile range (the difference between third and first quartiles) as a measure of the central span of the nesting period. The median date of nest initiation and interquartile range of initiation dates were compared among the 5 common species with analysis of variance. When an overall difference was detected, linear contrasts were used to identify which species were different. Each area-year for which we had >=10 nests was assigned a weight equal to the square root of the number of nests. Area-years with <10 nests were not used because we considered them inadequate for estimating these nesting parameters.
