Blubber Dragon 2 (new demo version)
New info soon.
Blubber Dragon Remake
This is on hold. I'm still planning to finish it later, because it supports custom characters etc. unlike BD2.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim FatMod
This is a simple beast race skeleton file edit that makes all Argonians and Khajiits fat (males and/or females). It's not perfect, but good enough. I haven't found a good enough way to make the other races fat as their skeleton is shared between the remaining 8 races.
- I recommend using the default Fat male file instead of the Fatter versions due to slightly better animations and proportions.
- If you want to test what the other races would look fat then copy and paste the files and remove the beast part from the file names of the copies.
I think I'm done with this mod. There's nothing more I can do to the skeleton files without horribly breaking animations and causing clipping issues. Making better fat characters would require editing the game's model/mesh files, and that's too time consuming for me to do.
Few screenshots of my Skyrim character:

Other recommended mods:
- Bigger Argonian Tails: skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/1733…
- Argonian Sneak Tail Twist Fix: skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/3294…
- Grimoas Plantigrade Feet For Beast Races: skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/1697…
Suggested things to do in game:
- Lower player character's movement speed from console (100 is default speed):
player.forceav SpeedMult 70
- Make sure muscularity is at maximum from console (values from 0 to 100):
player.setnpcweight 100
- When leveling up increase Health much more than Stamina. ^.=.^
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Fatsuit mod
This mod was never finished. It includes only male characters and the fat body parts are put on like clothes so you can't look fat when wearing other clothes.

ABC News' Karen Travers and Sunlen Miller report:
President Obama seems optimistic that Tiger Woods will still be successful on the golf course after his hiatus in the aftermath of his car accident and cheating scandal.
In an interview tonight on Fox News, Bret Baier said a viewer wanted to know Obama's thoughts on Woods' return to golf at the Masters next month.
"I think that Tiger has acknowledged that he betrayed his family and that's a personal issue that he's got to work out," the president said. "I hope they've worked it out. I'm sure he's going to still be a terrific golfer."

Our students can offer businesses an excellent opportunity to address a skill or resource shortage by benefiting from up-to-date scientific skills and knowledge. Your business could use an internship to help cover during busy periods, trial new roles or research a new idea.
In addition to their subject specific knowledge, academic study teaches our students:
- Problem solving
- Analysis and critical reflection
- Oral and written communications
- Negotiation and influence
All of our students are keen to learn and improve their employability through real-world experience; we prepare each one through a specially designed workplace course prior to starting an internship.
Case studies of successful internships are available on our website.
Current opportunities
We are currently seeking full time summer internship opportunities for students during July-September 2015; we recommend you register your interest online by the end of January 2015 to enable us to recruit the right student for you.

Full time summer internships last for 2-3 months between July and September. These are normally finalised, including the recruitment of a student, during April and May of each year.
Part-time internships are available all year round at varying durations to fit with your business needs and the students' academic requirements. It normally takes up to four weeks from first contact with us to a student working in your organisation.
Business requirements
Organisations are required to host the student in their place of business for the duration of the internship and are therefore required to hold indemnity insurance, health and safety policies and provide a suitable space for work. Please contact us for more advice in this area.

The Super Hero Dream.
Since I was young I've always had this reoccurring dream.
As immature and juvenile at it may seem.
I'd have this one fantasy
That me and my peers were apart of a heroic, super natural team.
We would serve and protect the world from impending doom.
But every morning I always end up waking up too soon.
I would stir and gaze around my marvel inspired room.
And attempt to
Move objects with just will of my mind.
Completely alter my anatomical design.
Teleport in and out of realties and dimensions.
Communicate with anyone via a telepathic connection.
Have an invulnerable metal emerge from my knuckles.
Tip the balance between the ageless good and evil struggle.
Soar above and around the skies like an aeroplane.
Have a romantic but dramatic relationship with my very own Mary Jane.
Have the technological advanced capabilities of a billionaire.
This would then enable me to have a untraceable, under water lair.
Catapult spheres of synthetic web from the palms of my hand.
Have my own theme tune played by a devoted jazz and hip hop band.
Defeat every arch nemeses that threatens the worlds existence.
Have an assembly of heroes and heroines for morale and physical assistance.
Create a logo and stitch it on to my colourful and daring attire.
Then crazed children will embrace my action figurine and admire.
I would help the helpless and give hope to the hopeless.
Having this responsibility would make my life less worthless.
But then I'd think what if this dream came true.
Does that the mean critics and stress will arise too?
Will I be a victim of the media and negative publicity.
Will I have to live a life of duplicity with no presence of simplicity.
I guess that's what makes a fantasy, fanciful.
It keeps the imaginable, unimaginable.
Because a dream in reality isn't actually tangible.
Without some sort of slander, slaughter and scandal.

only reason i dont find this viable is because his ult scales off AD other than that if you have 40% cdr like you do with AP tryn its pretty good.
No worries mate
I seriously think magewick has potential. My brother builds him with Spirit visage and max CD reduction and wrecks faces.
Great Pyrenees
I have decided to play around with Magewick and decide on a build I feel helps him the best I will let you know my results. Coodoes, at a 1 AP ratio I think hes viable.
Well that is interesting info about the AP boosting Q damage always. I wonder if/when they changed that, because it is a good change. Still, you only have ONE nuke which does make AP not as desirable. Like you said though you mostly focus on tankiness and stuff.
Ok after playing with multiple builds I think I have found the WW sweet spot for pvp as a AP. I go 21 0 9 Masteries. Flat AP quints, yellows, blues with MPen reds. I start with Dorans ring and Im already hitting enemies for 135 Q's at lvl 1 healing myself for 115 ... win every trade. I build Catylist (A must have imo for sustain in lane) into a very early Rod of Ages then complete sorc shoes. Nashirs tooth, Unholy grail, all of a sudden im maxed CDR with high attck speed crazy sustain even without Qing their faces off. Upgrade boots to alclarity for consistent chase speed. Now you can choose Tanky mage or Kill mage, if no tanks on team build 2 more Rod of ages. If team has tanks build a Rylies and a Liandrys for insane WW hp % chunk sandwiches. I prefer ignite and teleport on Magewich. Nice idea, I think its viable but much less survivable than AP tryndamere. Why? Warwick's glaring flaw has always been his susceptability to high cc teams. However if you play smart you can definatly 1v1 anyone.

well i play alot of magewick. and it depends on my team, if i got ap characters on team then its party at magewick's house, free ap and penetration with abyssal and wota. but i only play this at dominion. always boots of mobility/sorc boots, forget W, Q and E is where its at. your R does magic dmg and has 5 ticks. the item i rush is hextech sweeper/twin shadows. other items are as follows but in no particular order spirit visage abyssal scepter WoTa wooglet's void staff ive chased tanked out singed before. the guy had warmogs, rylai's blackfire...i proceeded to chase him down across the map and chunk him down for tons of health. zzzzzzz, his teammates sat there laughing at him getting "trolled" on by magewick. you try consistently running around at 500-600 MS with E almost always up with a Q doing tons but its dominion, fun times
Sorry, I don't mean to deter people from commenting on my guide, but please don't downvote just because it isn't your cup of tea. Give feedback, try it out some time in a custom. You never know, you might enjoy yourself.

During their quest for novelty in the Pyrenees, organizers have unearthed the steep Mur de Peguere climb. Last featured, but not raced, in 1973 when the peloton refused to negotiate the tricky descent, the climb's steep gradients (some of which are 18 percent) are expected to leave most struggling and a select few going on to dispute victory during the 40km ride to the finish. "We've sought new, challenging routes," said Prudhomme. "Ones that will tempt riders into attacking. At one time or another, attacks will come and the big favorites should be in the mix."

Personally, I love Fastpass. I think it was a great idea and the system works well. Granted, there are some people who know the system better than others, and some people who don't know how to use it at all. But for me, it allows me to get to ride not only the major attractions, but the smaller ones. I grab fastpasses early in the day, then ride the non fastpass attractions earliest. It allows me to spend more time enjoying the atmosphere of Disneyland and enjoy a sit down meal rather than stand in lines all day. And there's only, what, seven attractions that offer fastpass?
The fact that there are wonderfully themed queue lines for Indy and Roger Rabbit does not make a good argument to get rid of the whole fastpass system. If you want to enjoy the queues, just walk slower, let other people pass you in line. Not everyone wants to enjoy the line, and that's fine. If you got there when the park opened and went first, you wouldn't see the queue either.
As far as distribution goes, while it's true that late arrivals might not be able to get any fastpasses for particular attractions or have a long wait until their return window, have you ever heard the saying "The early bird gets the worm?" It's like anything else where there are limited quantities, you have to get there early to get them. If you show up at Ticketmaster at 5 PM and concert tickets went on sale at 10 AM, you're not going to get front row seats and you may find the concert is sold out. In this situation, Disney is not saying that you can't ride the attraction. You just have to wait in the standby line. With or without fastpass, the lines would be long if you arrive late. I don't understand the desire to abolish the whole system because people don't want to get there at 8 AM when it opens.

The Secret History of Boeing's Killer Drone
- |
- 7:00 am |
- Permalink
Boeing Goes Undercover
After that, Boeing didn't try to fight the N-UCAS award, despite the huge ramifications for an aerospace company struggling to stay in the warplane design game. To many industry insiders, it appeared Boeing had given up on killer bots, essentially surrendering the future combat drone market.
The X-45As wound up in museums. Ground equipment was placed in storage. The X-45 team disbanded and its members moved to other Boeing programs. For two years following the N-UCAS drama, not a word was heard from Boeing regarding its once record-setting killer drone.
Then in mid-2008, Boeing quietly rebuilt the X-45 team and, in May 2009, surprised everyone by announcing the UCAS' resurrection, in the form of the bigger, smarter, more powerful X-45C, now called Phantom Ray.
The Navy never followed through on the alleged order to destroy the X-45Cs. In St. Louis, engineers were putting finishing touches on two of the enlarged killer drones. A special Boeing 747, usually used to transport the Space Shuttle, carried the first Phantom Ray on its back from St. Louis to California. First flight was slated for 2010, but some last-minute modifications delayed that to April 27 of this year.
The Dice control system was mostly unchanged. It was revolutionary in 2005, and despite Northrop's recent advancements, remains some of the best drone-control software in the world.
In an echo of Boeing's very first UCAS effort in the late 1990s, the revitalized killer drone was entirely company-funded, and not exclusively associated with a single government requirement. Instead of tying itself to the Air Force, Navy or Darpa for development and risk getting burned again, Boeing would refine the Phantom Ray on its own terms and at its own pace.
The approach carried a bit of a stigma; in the Pentagon's weapons-development community, anything that's not a military-funded "program of record" runs the risk of being seen as an ugly stepsister. But there were advantages, too. "Since we're not a government program of record, we're able to do some things in a rapid fashion," Davis said. He added that the Phantom Ray would probably compete for the Navy's follow-on program to N-UCAS and maybe the robot component of the Air Force's next-generation bomber program.
Koopersmith had unknowingly predicted the Phantom Ray's resurrection. "You have laid the foundation for the future of Boeing with all of the technology you developed and the aviation firsts you accomplished," Koopersmith wrote to the drone team in 2007.
The X-45 drama has also laid the foundation of a new approach to warplane development — and to aerial warfare. Stung by the Boeing's and Northrop's UCAS spats and other weapons-buying disasters, the Pentagon wants more companies to pay for their own prototypes, rather than relying on the military bureaucracy to lead and fund every effort. That could have the effect of producing better weapons, faster.
With Boeing back in the UCAS game on its own terms – and with Northrop and General Atomics testing their next-generation, jet-powered drones – unmanned aircraft could be in a position to gradually gain the support that Leahy envisioned all those years ago. Drones may finally win a position in the ranks of front-line U.S. warplanes. Air combat may never be the same.

I recently setup a new fish tank. This one is an all glass 7 gallon nano tank. I'll post more details about it later.
Aquarium Lighting
I've had a 30 gallon fresh water aquarium for a long time now. It's a beautiful community tank with a handful of plants thrown in. At this point, upkeep is almost effortless. Two years ago I decided to try LED lights when my old fluorescent hood died. I went with the Marineland LED Hood. Horrible mistake. This hood was flimsy plastic, the LED was bright, but didn't reach in to the corners. Not surprisingly, the LED module of the hood died almost two years to the date I had purchased it.
After some research I went back to T5 lighting. I decided on the Aqueon T5 Dual Strip Lighting Hood and a Aqueon Glass Versa Top. The glass top was a perfect fit and sits level with the top of the tank. The Aqueon light is slim, with two T5 bulbs, the tank is lit very well.
There are pros and cons for LED and T5 bulbs for a tank. LEDs run cooler and I am sure a better brand would last longer. Also with LED you don't have replacement bulb costs. LEDs run a lot cooler and don't use as much electricity. This lighting system uses T5NO bulbs and they seem to be plenty bright. One bulb is white and the other is a light pink color.
In the last four years I have owned an iPhone, Android phone, and a Windows phone. I recently traded in my Nokia 1020 for an iPhone 6. The new Health focus at Apple is very interesting to me and I wanted to give it a go. While the M8 motion chip in the iPhone 6 does a fantastic job – the built in health dashboard (Health app) is lacking. After reading a few reviews I kept seeing the name FitPort come up.
I have been using FitPort for about a week now, and it has completely replaced the Apple provided Health app.
From the iTunes store:
- Shows your fitness data from Health app
– Simple dashboard for your daily fitness stats
– Easily compares your daily/weekly stats to the previous day/week to see how active you are
– Sets goals and monitor your progress
– Change units
FitPort shows you the following data from Health app.
This app is used as a dashboard to check your stats, but you can also input your data manually, and the data is stored securely in Health app.
- Steps (iPhone 5s/6/6 Plus)
– Walking + Running Distance (mi, km) (iPhone 5s/6/6 Plus)
– Flights Climbed (floors) (iPhone 6/6 plus)
– Cycling Distance (mi, km)
– Active Calories (kcal, kj)
– Dietary Calories (kcal, kj)
– Weight (lb, kg, stone)
– Body Fat Percentage (%)
FitPort is well worth the $1.99 price tag. The presentation of the data was just what I was looking for.
Fall Morning
Tooth Fairy Ideas
My son lost his second tooth – for the first one the tooth fairy left a note congratulating him along with $2.00, and some sugar free gum. He recently lost his second tooth – I wanted to do something different this time. A few Google searches later and I turned up an envelope from the Hallmark site and an official looking tooth fairy receipt.
The Hallmark tooth fairy envelope is perfect, they leave space for you to fill out a few things. All that is left for you to do is to cut and glue.
I wrapped the dollar around this tooth fairy receipt. Once you download the PDF file, open it in Adobe Reader and you will be able to type in the fields.
What is RTL-SDR?
The RTL part refers to products that use the Realtek RTL2832U chip on DVB-T receivers. SDR stands for Software Defined Receivers. By using free PC software and a DVB-T dongle with the Realtek RTL2832U chip set you can listen to (receive) a wide amount of radio signals.
Software Defined Receivers in the past have been VERY expensive (way over $1,000). In comparison you can pick up a DVB-T dongle for under $20. With this SDR combination you can enter the hobby of scanning at a very low cost.
What do I need?
To start you are going to need one of the DVB-T receivers. I went with one on Amazon – didn't feel like waiting for international shipping or dealing with online auctions. After a fair amount of research I went with: NooElec Brand RTL-SDR, FM+DAB, DVB-T USB Stick Set with RTL2832U & R820T.
For software I decided to give SDR Sharp a try on an older Windows 7 PC I had laying around. What you will need to do is install the SDR Sharp software, then install and run an utility called Zadig. I came across this great tutorial on installing all the software components for SDR.
After all of that – I was able to plug in the dongle (with antenna attached) and start playing around. The antenna really sucks, so you're going to need a new one to do anything decent.
That's it for now. I am working on learning how to pump the data over TCP to a laptop to make viewing and playing easier.
Amazon Fire TV
Oldest Roku box in the world?
A few weeks back an older Roku box finally bit the dust. I believe it was the first Roku I purchased, it had quite a few years on it.
Amazon Fire TV
I decided to give the Amazon Fire TV a shot. At $99 it's about the same price as the Roku (it varies but is currently $94.00 for the higher end model).
There were a few things that attracted me to the Amazon TV. I am an Amazon Prime subscriber and use Prime Video quite a bit. The specs on the box were outstanding and I was anxious to try the voice search.
Amazon Product Development?
There were also a few things that concerned me. Amazon seems bent on becoming a product development company. But so far (other than the Kindle), I have not been happy with their electronic devices. The Fire tablet is not for me – and the Fire phone just doesn't look all that great. The reviews for the Fire TV had been great though, and I was willing to take a gamble.
Amazon really did great with this device. The box is small and sleek, the remote is perfect, and the menus are intuitive and very snappy. Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon Prime videos all work great – and the picture quality is amazing on my plasma TV.
I have tried a few of the free games using an older Ouya controller. The gaming is lacking, but I didn't buy this for gaming.
In the future – I believe I will be replacing Roku boxes with Amazon Fire TV boxes as they die.
A few other great reviews of the device:

20,000 Days and Counting: The Crash Course for Mastering Your Life Right Now
Robert D. Smith
Can I share something with you? I have a deep fear. A fear that keeps me up at night. This is a new fear. I am scared. I am scared of dying and not living my life out to its fullest.

20,000 Days and Counting: The Crash Course for Mastering Your Life Right Now is a kick in the pants.
From the description at Amazon:
The day for change is today and it's more simple than you realize.

the intensity of life is impending death. But what if it didn't have to be that way? 20,000 Days presents breathtakingly simple
strategies and concepts that, once applied, will enable readers to be 100% present and intentional with every passing minute of every day, for
the rest of their lives.
The book is designed to be read in under an hour and the effect is immediate. Within each segment are tactics for mastering control for your life; principles such as:
- Motivation is a myth
- You only have two choices, yes and no
- How to conquer rejection forever
- How BECOMING the problem will SOLVE all your problems
- Three sentences that will change your life immediately
These timeless principles apply to everyone from the pending graduate to the seasoned business professional; from the time-starved parent to the weary pastor to the restless entrepreneur.

I do go to stuffonmycat.com quite regularly, and I also enjoy gofugyourself.com for my daily trashing of celebrities and their poor fashion choices (what can I say, I'm girly like that). I also enjoy the old standby, the onion, as well as sportspickle.com and thebrushback.com for sports oriented "news."
I can understand about the tucker stories. I checked out thebrushback and sportspickle they were pretty funny. I love this headline "Ashley Lelie Pays $982,000 To Run Decoy Routes For Alge Crumpler"

Well pulled the trigger and bought and 2013 tacoma. I have had it for 2 months now and couldnt be happier. I have done a few things so far but now I am kind of stuck as to what I would like to do next. A mid travel suspension is in the future but I am going to wait until I wear the stock suspension out. I must admit I have been visiting this website everyday since I bought the truck and just love it. The information and inspiration I have got from this website already is just incredible. Feel free to offer up some ideas!! not sure why my pics came out so small.x

Erik & Deanne
After more than 16 months of waiting with our agency and a failed adoption, we decided to advertise on Parent Profiles to increase our exposure to expectant mothers. In two months we received 3 contacts, the last of which resulted in the adoption of a last-minute hospital placement of our beautiful baby boy. We love our birth mother and our sweet baby and are so grateful. We are over the moon with joy and so more ...
Culture in the western world has changed, and with the social dynamic that governs what is acceptable and what is not. One of the changes is in the area of pregnancy. At one time anyone having babies after their teens would have been thought old. These days, teens are supposed to remain childless and are deemed by society to be unfit to raise a child.
Hello! We're excited about adoption and the blessings of adoption. We'd love to share more about our lives with you just click on our picture!
Unfortunately, unlike times past, today's teens are usually pregnant by accident rather than by desire. This means that there is a big difference in how the pregnancy is accepted by the teen's family. Many parents will be dismayed at their child's "mistake" and often are unsure of how to handle the situation. Knowledge of their parents' beliefs leads teenage girls to hide their pregnant status as long as possible, fearing a negative reaction and a feeling of having "failed". This means that the teen herself may live in a state of denial where she is afraid to seek medical help during her early pregnancy. Unaware of the importance of prenatal procedures, she can put her baby at risk by not taking prenatal vitamins, or not stopping any intake of alcohol or cigarettes in her attempts to remain "normal" to everyone she is in contact with. In her efforts to hide her weight gain she is likely to reduce her own food intake, thus depriving her body sufficient nutrition to feed herself correctly, let alone her baby.
Once the pregnancy is out in the open, she is then forced not only to deal with her options, but also her future. Many teen girls still in high school are "encouraged" to drop out during the later stages of pregnancy because they may "influence" other girls to get into their position, or it sullies the reputation of the school. If they are in their final year or two this can mean that they never return, not wishing to be placed in a class with younger students now that their peers have moved on to college or employment. Without their high school diploma, employment options for more than minimum wage will be scarce, and so if they are raising the child themselves, they will be in an extremely low income bracket and needing the support of family and/or welfare. Getting out of this cycle isn't so easy. Stressing the importance of maintaining their education and getting their high school has to be one of the priorities of anyone responsible for a pregnant teen.
High schools must start to take a more pro-active part in educating the girls in their care. There is firstly the issue about educating them about sex and pregnancy prevention. It shouldn't stop there however. Girls also need to be educated about what happens if they do get pregnant. Even if they use protection, mistakes happen. They need to know what to do should this happen to them before it happens. They need to know what the process is, what they need to do to have a healthy pregnancy, who to talk to for confidential advice/intervention with parents should that be needed. They also need to know what their options are and the implications of each of these. Not just in the short-term, but also in the long-term because pregnancy may end with the birth of the baby, but if the teenager has chosen to keep her baby once it is born, she needs to know what to expect both as a mother, and as a woman raising a child alone.
Having a pregnant teen in the family can send the dynamics of a family into a crisis situation if emotions and beliefs are put before the well-being of the teen and the baby she carries. A teen who has a supportive network of family and educators around her will be able to access resources and information which will lead her to make the right choices for herself and the baby both during her pregnancy, and in her plans for their future.

Raptor vs Ripsaw
Anyone have experience with both boards? I'm currently on a 156 Raptor and pretty much love it, but I could use something a little softer since I pretty much just stick with groomers, glades, and im starting to enjoy moguls.
The one thing I dont want to give up is how amazing the Raptor is at what I consider high speeds. I feel completely comfortable at ~60mph and simply dont have the terrain to go any faster. |

I have a raptor too and demoed ripsaw and didnt find it that much softer but i found that it hold the edge a bit better, it was as fast as the raptor on groomers. It was a fun board to ride and was more easy to make some jumps for me. I may consider getting it for next year.

Riiight. Anyways, the biggest differences between the Ripsaw and the Raptor in my book are going to be the fact that one is a twin and the other is directional. The ripsaw is by no means any less of a freeride board than the Raptor. Perhaps not as strong in powder but certainly nothing to scoff at, not to mention you don't lose float riding switch. If you're looking for a softer all-mountain board from NS, I'd look toward the Proto. |

If you've ever been to 7springs PA you know they just dont have the vertical to go any faster. Still the best in the area sadly.
I'm leaning more and more towards picking one up now. I'd love to find one slightly used on Ebay but I dont see that happening. |

Bought 159 RipSaw looking to buy 162 next year. I bought the the 159 rather than waiting till next year. I'm 6'3" and 220 LBS so 162 will better suite me since I'll be spending around 40 days in Colorado with Epic or Copper mountain season pass next season. RipSaw 159 I have is in perfect condition. Make me an offer, you'll be able to see what your buying since we both are from PA, |

I might also suggest considering the lib tech hot knife.
I've been on the Raptor for two seasons now and wanted an aggressive twin to focus more on switch and because powder doesn't come to Tahoe anymore. I was deciding between the Ripsaw and the hot knife and ultimately went with the hot knife a few weeks ago. I haven't demo'd the ripsaw, but I really couldn't be happier with the hot knife. Edge hold on hardpack I think is far superior to the Raptor (and I actually think it's more stable and thus faster), but the thing that I imagine it has over the ripsaw is the sweet pop due to the C3 shape as opposed to the CR of the ripsaw. This thing launches off kickers in a way that I forgot was possible when I started using the Raptor. It sounds like the CR will have more camber than the Raptor's RC, but it still doesn't get as far as C3. In any case, I think the Raptor plus either the ripsaw or hot knife would make the perfect 2-board quiver if you like charging powder when it's there and having a good time when it's not. |

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I do not have very good experiences with printers. I have had about 3 in the past years but this by far is the one that has lasted me the longest, I have had no problem with this printer whatsoever. The paper never gets jammed, and it warns you with time that your ink levels are low. This printer is very easy to use and very easy to install to any computer. It is touch screen which is very neat. Its not a big screen but its big enough to use and see clearly. It has a cool menu, making copying and scanning very easy. You can also download apps from the HP website, which give you bonus printable content. Another cool feature is creating and email on the HP website for your printer. The cool thing with this is that you can email anything you want to print to the printer from any device: Mobile Phone, Laptop, MP3 ,etc. Like mentioned before i have had no problems with this HP 5514 All- In-One printer. The only thing that i may have a problem with is that the printer can take a couple seconds to print, but that is not a major problem. Overall this is a great printer! I Love This Printer Very Much .

Re: Report: Texans G.M. prefers Khalil Mack to Jadeveon Clowney
Peter King is a blithering idiot...
Heard about this article by Peter King and who he thinks the Texans should pick #1. Now I know this is his opinion but this has got to be the dumbest opinion by a journalist I have seen yet, aside from hearing that some NFL executive compared Teddy Bridgewater to "Steamin" Willie Beamen, a fictitious football character...
Houston, at No. 1, isn't set on Jadeveon Clowney. In fact, one FORS (Friend of Rick Smith) told me the Texans general manager likes Khalil Mack over Clowney, and we still don't know which quarterback Houston would choose if it chooses one first overall.
I still think the Texans would go with a more sure thing with the first overall pick than a quarterback—and that sure thing could also be tackle Greg Robinson.
But imagine Mack, the outside linebacker from the University of Buffalo, being the first pick in a stacked draft. Wouldn't that be something—a second straight Mid-American Conference player (Eric Fisher, Central Michigan, by Kansas City) as the top pick in the NFL draft?
Mack at #1 is extreme but Greg Robinson at #1 is just flat out stupid...IMO

Sigh...biking mishap..."spray question"
So I have really been enjoying biking with my boy. We just do some laps around the neighborhood & it really helps him to relax. Today however we had a black lab and a smaller dog come charging after us.
At first I thought they would stop at a certain distance and kept peddling. As soon as I thought to myself that I need to stop, I ended up falling with Dinozzo trying to dodge their snaps. I think I partially fell on him too so I really hope he is okay. Though he seems to be. I yelled for them to go home before the fall but they didn't listen. Once I fell I was soo angry that I yelled again and they finally listed that time. A different neighbor came out to check on us as she heard me yelling. I kinda know the people who live there as I grew up with them as neighbors. I messaged her on facebook of the incident & she was very apologetic. I have biked there so many times that I really do believe it was just a random accident. However, I am so tired of dogs coming after us on walks and biking that I really am thinking of getting one of those sprays. Has anyone ever had to use one? Does it really deter them or is it likely just to make the situation worse/aggrivate them? Last edited by KathrynApril; 06-23-2014 at 04:13 PM. |

Do you mean pepper spray? They work with most dogs I'd imangine, but the type that spray out in a cone like bear spray can affect you too if there's a wind. They make one that shoots a stream, less likely to get yourself, but a little harder to hit the target. We had an incident last night with a herd of mutant Chihuahuas, had all could do to keep the two aggressive ones from biting me and my dog. A handful of gravel works great, but there was none around. I don't know about you, but I'm still PO a day later.

My dog was truly attacked on a walk. It was so traumatizing for me that I stopped walking in my neighborhood. He ended up having to go to the vet and need to be sedated to have his ear stitched up.
I just wish people were more responsible with their animals. This was the 3rd time this dog got loose and attacked another dog. It has since been seized and PTS. |

Oh good point about the wind. I actually have regular pepper spray for when I do photography so it mostly stays on my car keys, but I guess I could just start bringing that along. I was thinking of the cone spray but didnt know it was actually bear spray. I can't remember if I saw some for sale at PetCo or Meijers.
They apologized so I am no longer mad. Though I am still mad at myself for not stopping right away. Oh well, lesson learned.

I have been lucky enough that even though they are barking/growling they haven't bitten. I just hope I never get to the point where he does get bit.

Gel based pepper spray is the only way to go if your going to use it, more of silly string less of cooking spray. Don't get anything they sell at a pet store, go for a sporting good store.

Can you find places to bike that are away from people, cars, and dogs? We have been lucky enough to find a nearby park or cemetery that welcomed behaving dogs and responsible dog owners. I take mine bikejoring daily and rarely have any problems. I used to have similar problems in areas like neighborhoods with dogs that would run up on us off leash. My dogs have been attacked multiple times, and each time I was able to defend my dogs and beat off the attacking dogs. The problem with the sprays from what I've read is that sometimes the spray will get into your eyes or your own dog's eyes, depending on the wind direction and speed. I wouldn't use a spray, but I also now have plenty of experience breaking up dog fights with my bare hands. No fun ever! Ha. Good luck.

5 Simple Ways to Cut Calories
by Dana Angelo White in Healthy Tips, November 30, 2012
Calories can be sneaky, finding their way into your diet when you aren't looking. Too many of them make it hard to maintain a healthy weight. Try these 5 simple things to save calories throughout the day — we promise you won't miss them.
1. Measure Oil
It's really easy to misjudge how much oil you use when cooking. When every tablespoon has 120 calories (and 14 grams of fat), you can unknowingly rack up some serious calories by adding an extra splash here and there. Keep a measuring spoon handy – a teaspoon or two is really all you need.
2. Downsize Bread
Trade large slices of bread and gigantic wraps for English muffins, rolls and flatbreads to save hundreds of calories at each meal. Always choose whole grain versions for more hunger fighting fiber.
3. Blot Grease
Whether it's a slice of cheesy pizza or homemade fish tacos, use a paper towel to absorb excess oil. It's not easy to quantify exactly how many calories you are sucking away, but every little bit helps.
4. Actually have "1 drink"
Healthy guidelines for alcohol consumption are based on specific portions: 5 fluid ounces of wine, 12 fluid ounces of beer or 1 shot (1½ fluid ounces) of hard alcohol. Each drink averages 120 calories – pay attention to how you pour and save big calories this holiday season.
5. Switch to "Whipped"
Whipped butter and whipped cream cheese have 50 percent fewer calories than the original versions but with all the creamy goodness. Make the switch and you'll save 50 calories per tablespoon.

National Iranian American Council
National Iranian American Council | |
Motto | Community. Democracy. Universal Rights. |
Founder(s) | Trita Parsi |
Established | January 2002 |
Mission | Advancing the interests of the Iranian American community |
Director | Trita Parsi |
Location | Washington, D.C., United States |
Address | 1411 K St. NW, Suite 250, Washington, DC 20005 |
Website | www |
The National Iranian American Council (NIAC) is a Washington, D.C.-based non-profit organization with the stated mission of "advancing the interests of the Iranian American community."[1] Trita Parsi is the organization's current president and founder.
In 2002, Parsi founded the National Iranian American Council (NIAC) "to enable Iranian Americans to condemn the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks and that he has since run it as a grass-roots group aimed at strengthening their voice." The organization supports engagement between the US and Iran in belief that it "would enhance our [US] national security by helping to stabilize the Middle East and bolster the moderates in Iran."[2] On the group's formation, Parsi commented, "We realized that our primary thing that separates the Iranian-American community from the Jewish-American community, the Arab-American community, the Armenian-American community is that the Iranian-American community has shunned political participation."[3]
Lobbying controversy and defamation lawsuit[edit]
In 2007, Arizona-based Iranian-American journalist Hassan Daioleslam began publicly asserting that NIAC was lobbying on behalf of the Islamic Republic of Iran. In response, Parsi sued him for defamation. As a result of the lawsuit, many internal documents were released, which Washington Times national security correspondent Eli Lake stated "raise questions about whether the organization is using that influence to lobby for policies favorable to Iran in violation of federal law."[3]
In September 2012, U.S. Federal District Court Judge John D. Bates threw out the libel suit against Daioleslam on the grounds that "NIAC and Parsi had failed to show evidence of actual malice, either that Daioeslam acted with knowledge the allegations he made were false or with reckless disregard about their accuracy."[4] On April 9, 2013, Judge Bates ordered NIAC to pay $183,480.09, plus interest, to cover a portion of Daioleslam's legal expenses.[5]

We like sandwiches a lot. We thought our love of sandwiches was unmatched. Then we saw the genius of the 'Sandwich Book' by Polish photographer, illustrator and graphic designer Pawel Piotrowski. We are hoping he continues his project and creates a whole menu of 'Sandwich Books...' Very rarely does art make us hungry.

Straight from the magazine: "Vania Zouravliov is an enigma, a paradox, and a Catch-22; he doesn't want to have his picture taken, creates elegant art that appears to be in the process of a magically disappearing, and references 19th Century European and American storytellers as inspiration. In the legacy of previous eras, where prodigious talent was nurtured in the arts like young math and science geniuses are cultivated today, Vania became an internationally known illustrator at the age of 13.

Kaws Reimagines Iconic MTV Video Music Awards' Moonman
Juxtapoz // Tuesday, July 09, 2013
Kaws is no stranger to embedding himself in popular culture, albeit through his own lens and artistic style. The NYC-based artist has seen his work in the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, on Kanye West albums, and other fashion house identities. Recently, the artist was tasked with the project to reimagine the iconic MTV Moonman statue, given out to winners at the Video Music Awards. Seeing that the MTV VMA's used to be the standard bearer of all things Generation X, or Y, or whatever, where you got to see Nirvana call out Guns N' Roses while the adults watched Phil Collins take home another Grammy, we think this is a great project to take on.
Paintings by Nathalie du Pasquier
