What Tight End on the Chiefs Current Roster Will Fans Be Raving About Come the End of the Season?
By: William Bruno Not too long ago, if you were to listen to Mitch Holthus on The Kansas City Chiefs broadcast you would hear him yell "TOUCHDOWN, Kansas City Chiefs" which was quite often followed by, "TOUCHDOWN, Tony Gonzalez!!!" Since those days ...After Charles, Who Will Stand Out On Offense In 2014?
By: Nathan Shellstein Anyone who followed the Kansas City Chiefs last year understood that Jamaal Charles was the bulk of the offense. He figures to be a huge part again in 2014, but the team is hoping for a bit more help. Here is a look at the 3 be ...

As I get older and (wiser), even though I appreciate the sport of football…
Do you all see yourselves debating whether or not a player is worth 1 million or 13 million?
How about we all drop the sport, and enter politics. At least the money would be distributed evenly ROFL…
But do you see my point?
As you work to build infrastructure to your country for mere pennies on the dollars,
these guys get millions for chasing an underinflated ball!!! Read more…

IMO this question is the 9 foot gorilla in the room. We need cap space BADLY. And dumping Hali is a quick and easy way to free up quite a bit of cap space. That said, I think we should make a REAL EFFORT to keep Hali and I think that if we make that effort we'll still be able to open up a lot of cap space, create a situation where Hali plays out his career looking like a major player (which I think he would like to do) and also allow him to retire as Read more…
If you had 10 million to spend on a WR this year who would it be and why??

Is pretty interesting
In our initial Salary Cap Analysis, we laid out that the Chiefs need to save $6M against the cap before even considering any re-signings or new player acquisitions. During our roster evaluation we discovered a bunch of players where the combination of performance (or lack thereof), cap hit, and / or roster depth at the position should initiate some serious thoughts about a release or restructure.
However, the conditions are very different concerning each of those players. Thus we will take an individual look at each we identified as a potential cap casualty from various angles. This should provide Read more…

I have a spare (long story) vial of WLP013 London Ale. Any suggestions on what to brew with it? Thanks. Primary 1: Southern English Brown Primary 2: Empty Bottled: Edwort's Apfelwein, Cream Ale
Brew another batch of course. It'll probably make good sourdough bread too.
Dave in Madison
Brew an ESB or have some fun and look around!
Primary 1: Canadian Pale Ale Primary 2: American Stout Primary 3: Empty Primary 4: Empty Bottled: IPA,Belgian Wit, Pale ale,Stout, Sour beer. Planning: Janets Brown, Northern German Alt, Arrogant bastard Clone+ more yummy beersI only take a drink on two occasions - when I'm thirsty and when I'm not. Brendan BehanDrunken Lullabies Brewery Slainte!
Choose from the following list: any of the bitters, stout, porter, browns, or hell anything else for that matter!
WL 013 makes a good ESB and EPA.
"...Careful, man...there's a beverage here!..."
I just used that yeast to make an ESB. I'm going to be bottling it tomorrow and when I pulled a gravity reading it tasted great. That yeast is also good for a porter, IPA, or Brown Ale. I'm planning on harvesting and doing a porter.
I'm thinking of the Bourbon Barrel Old Ale from Midwest--have a gift cert. for there. It sounds interesting, and their kits have always turned out well.
I used 013 for an English Pale Ale that turned out great and then the slurry for a RIS.
I love some ESB- brew it up and send me a sixer!
I can't be arsed to keep up this list of what's in the fermenters, but hey, check out the cool brewery I own! twitter.com/2kidsbrewing .. facebook.com/2kidsbrewing .. 2kidsbrewing.com
Pretty much any ale will be great with that yeast - it is rumored that Great Lakes uses that as their ale yeast.

Can I Cancel My Scores?
No. All scores from every time you've taken the MCAT are reported and sent to the colleges you designate. The only exception is that if you tested prior to April 2003, you can select which of those pre-April 2003 scores to send to colleges.
The only way to prevent scores from appearing in your MCAT testing history is to VOID your exam at the end of your testing session. If you VOID your test, it will not be scored at all, and your participation in that administration of the MCAT will not be reported to any schools at all.
Remember that you can take the MCAT up to three times in a calendar year, with no lifetime maximum, and the scores from each test date are reported separately.
More information about scores can be found on the AAMC website:
How do I know if I am ready for the MCAT?
Try our free MCAT practice test. When you finish the test, you'll get a complete score report detailing your strengths and weaknesses. If you are satisfied with your results, then you may be ready. If you feel that you still need help, check out The Princeton Review's many MCAT test preparation options or give us a call at 888-955-4600.
When can I take the MCAT, and how do I register for it?
The MCAT is offered 25+ times a year. View upcoming test dates here or register for the MCAT online through AAMC's website.
Where do I take the MCAT?
The computer–based MCAT will be given at Thomson Prometric testing sites around the world and throughout North America. You should be comfortable taking the MCAT at these sites, as they are built specifically for computer–based testing. Each center is equipped with: *climate– and sound–controlled systems *ergonomic chairs *guest lockers *state–of–the–art equipment *noise reduction headphones *standardized proctoring
How do I decide when to take the MCAT?
First, find out the application deadlines for the medical schools to which you are applying. Then work backwards from your earliest deadline. Build some extra time into your planning process for unexpected delays.
What fees are associated with the MCAT?
It costs $270 to register for the MCAT. For no additional fee, your scores will be reported to you, and, if you authorize it, released to schools that participate in the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS), and up to 6 institutions that do not participate in AMCAS. Registration fee waiver information is available on the AAMC website.
Is the MCAT computer-adaptive?
No. There are two types of computer tests: computer–adaptive tests (CATs), which serve questions based on previous answers, and computer–based tests (CBTs) which is a linear test. The MCAT is a CBT, which is similar to a paper exam – you can jump around within a section and answer items in any order you wish.
If I choose not to take one of my 10–minute break times during the MCAT, will that time be added to my other break times?
No. If you choose to skip a break, you lose those 10 minutes.
Will I get scratch paper to use when I take the MCAT?
Scratch paper and pencils are provided at the test center.
On the MCAT, you are able to highlight passage text, strike out answer choices, and review your answers. How do I practice this?
The Princeton Review practice tests are very similar to the real MCAT, not only in content but also in usability; all of the practice tests you will take in your course, and our Free Online MCAT Practice Test, have the same features as the actual MCAT.
Where can I get more information about the MCAT?
You can contact The Princeton Review by calling 888-955-4600. Or you can contact the MCAT Program Office at: 319–337–1357 or AAMC.
How can I make sure I'm prepared for the MCAT?
If you take a Princeton Review MCAT course or work with a Princeton Review tutor, we guarantee that you will be satisfied with your final score. Learn more about our MCAT test prep options.

Marshall Edwards Receives FDA Approval Of Investigational New Drug Application For Clinical Testing Of Oncology Drug Candidate ME-344
SAN DIEGO, April 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Marshall Edwards, Inc. (Nasdaq: MSHL), an oncology company focused on the clinical development of novel therapeutics targeting cancer metabolism, announced today that it has received approval from the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of its Investigational New Drug (IND) application for ME-344, the Company's lead mitochondrial inhibitor. The Company is now in the process of initiating a Phase I clinical trial of intravenous ME-344 in patients with solid refractory tumors.
"With this important milestone, we have now successfully advanced our two most promising oncology drug candidates into the clinic," said Daniel P. Gold, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Marshall Edwards. "As we near the completion of our Phase I clinical trial of ME-143 and prepare for its next phase of development, we are excited to initiate our first human study of ME-344. We believe ME-344 is a novel compound that has the potential to significantly improve treatment outcomes for patients with cancer, but first it is important to confirm its safety and tolerability in patients while establishing an optimal dose for future trials."
The Phase I clinical trial of ME-344 is being conducted in collaboration with the Sarah Cannon Research Institute. The open-label, dose-escalation trial will evaluate the safety and tolerability of intravenous ME-344 in patients with refractory solid tumors. In addition, the trial is designed to characterize its pharmacokinetic profile and describe any preliminary clinical anti-tumor activity observed. Patients will be administered intravenous infusions of ME-344 once weekly for three weeks and, after safety assessment, may continue weekly dosing if a clinical benefit is determined. The trial is expected to enroll up to 24 patients at three sites. Additional information regarding the trial, including enrollment criteria and site information, is available on the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) clinical trials database at www.clinicaltrials.gov.
About ME-344
ME-344 is the Company's lead mitochondrial inhibitor and an active metabolite of NV-128, a first-generation compound. In April 2011, Ayesha Alvero, M.D., Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences at Yale University School of Medicine, presented data at the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting from a pre-clinical study of NV-128 demonstrating its ability to induce mitochondrial instability, ultimately leading to cell death in otherwise chemotherapy-resistant ovarian cancer stem cells. These results were later published in the August 2011 issue of Molecular Cancer Therapeutics. In additional pre-clinical studies, ME-344 has demonstrated far superior anti-tumor activity against a broad range of human cancer cell lines compared to NV-128, including breast, colorectal and ovarian. Marshall Edwards owns exclusive worldwide rights to all of its drug candidates, including ME-344. About Marshall Edwards Marshall Edwards, Inc. (Nasdaq: MSHL) is a San Diego-based oncology company focused on the clinical development of novel therapeutics targeting cancer metabolism. The Company's lead drug candidates, ME-143 and ME-344, have been shown in laboratory studies to interact with specific enzyme targets resulting in inhibition of tumor cell metabolism, a function critical for cancer cell survival. Marshall Edwards initiated a Phase I clinical trial of intravenous ME-143 in patients with solid refractory tumors in September 2011 and plans to present safety and pharmacokinetic data from the trial at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting in June 2012. The Company received approval of its Investigational New Drug application for ME-344 in April 2012 and is in the process of initiating a Phase I clinical trial of intravenous ME-344 in patients with solid refractory tumors.

text: Hello everyone! I'm generally not the type of person to ask alot of questions, since I prefer to dig for the answers myself. (I learn best this way) However, I've reached that point :) I am relatively new to Linux. I have been extremely impressed at the progress made over the past few years, and as of a few months ago have decided that Linux is the future! I'm running OpenSuSE now as my primary desktop. I have successfully built an LFS system (SVN-20060330), and have added the KDE desktop using the current SVN BLFS book. I have created a LiveCD from this, using the lfslivecd-x86-6.2-pre3 CD as my reference. The CD works fine on my PC, however I need it to work on "any" PC. Right now, my biggest problem area seems to be the X11 config. I have so many questions at this point I don't know where to start :) I am very interested in becoming more proficient with Linux, and the LFS/BLFS projects have been exactly what I needed! But, I still have so much to learn. So... any information, reference docs I might have missed, etc.... would be greatly appreciated. Also, I could not find any "searchable" archive of this list, which I'm sure would be very helpful. Thanks in advance, Brian Just for some background, my life with computers began in pre-Windows DOS, then on to an MCP in Win95 and Win2K, CNA in Netware 5, Visual Basic 5/6 hobbiest, then web development using MivaScript. Examples of my MivaScript work can be found at http://bellsouthpwp2.net/w/i/wizard_rb/miva/ Along with a related VB project (abandoned at this point) at http://sourceforge.net/projects/qbioss

How do you feel about having nuts in school cafeterias? According to a new survey, many parents don't favor a ban even those with allergic children.
The University of Michigan surveyed 800 parents and found almost half of those with nut-allergic children prefer their kids eat in a lunchroom with no special seating or nut restrictions. Only 22-percent though nut products should be banned altogether.
The survey also found most parents of kids without nut allergies thought schools should offer nut-free tables for allergic children.

Field Yates/ESPNBoston.comThe view of Gillette Stadium before Thursday night's game.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Good afternoon from Gillette Stadium, home of Thursday night's nationally televised contest between the New England Patriots (1-0) and New York Jets (1-0) (8:25 p.m. ET; national broadcast is NFL Network, local broadcast is WCVB; radio coverage on 98.5 The Sports Hub).
Weather conditions: A hot and humid afternoon is expected to carry into the night, as game time temperatures look to be at just around 70 degrees with nearly 90 percent humidity, according to Weather.com. While rain doesn't figure to be a factor (zero percent chance), there will be a moderate wind of 13 miles per hour from south southwest. When thinking about the Patriots' decision not to formally practice this week (the team had just walk throughs), one wonders if the predicted heat played a part in that. They'll need their players at their freshest tonight.
Amendola, Gronk unlikely to play: As we had suspected, the Patriots are likely to be without wide receiver Danny Amendola and tight end Rob Gronkowski this evening, league sources told ESPN's NFL Insider Adam Schefter. They were both listed as doubtful on the injury report. Other players of note nursing injuries include running backs Leon Washington and Brandon Bolden, offensive lineman Will Svitek, safeties Duron Harmon and Nate Ebner, wide receivers Matthew Slater and Aaron Dobson, as well as tight end Zach Sudfeld.
Marathon victims to be honored: The Patriots will conduct a pregame ceremony to honor victims from the Boston Marathon bombing. They will remain in attendance for the game.
National Anthem: The National Anthem will be performed by members of the Boston-based band Gentleman Hall.
Color Guard: The Color Guard will be the USS Constitution out of Charleston, Mass. Navy Yard.
Cheffers on the call: Carl Cheffers will lead tonight's officiating crew.

Sounds fun and very different. When are you going to finally put fire to kettle on this one?
I just brewed this yesterday finally, upped the orange peel spice to 2 tblsp at the 60 min mark. One just didn't seem enough The starting gravity came out around 1.040, the PB gravity was 1.030. I'm not 100% sure on the starting gravity since some of the beer came out of my hyrdrometer jar, so my hyrdrometer was hitting the bottom, oh well. Put this whole thing in my MR Beer fermenter and pitched the ale yeast I made a starter from, and it's pretty full and going crazy right now. I actually had to dump about a pint or so of wort, this was getting too full. They only recomment 2 1/2 gallons in one of these, I went well over that I've never had a blow out with the mr beer(only made 3 batches with it though), so we'll see what happens. I'll check the gravity in 3 or 4 days. If it does start spewing out of the lid, not sure what i'll do, maybe just let it keep doing that? I have this in the batchtub in the basement.
I'd love to hear an update on how this turned (is turning) out, and if you've had a chance to sample it at any point along the way. This one has been on my mind lately
Go Spartans!!http://www.youtube.com/MrSparty1995
Well that's a bummer. I had some hopes that you'd come out with something decent or at least drinkable. If nothing else, at least you can say you tried it and it sucked

Appears to be an interesting study, but I wound be quite interested to know which mode, "slash" vs. "thrust" most appropriately represents "death by knife" statistics (the test, clearly favored the thust). Clearly, the slash capacity of, for example, a sheetrock knife could be quite lethal. What are the statistics here?
This aside, I am certain that blunting most knives will offer reduced injury potential. Particularly the drop-on-foot type.
First they debase the currency (to permit the government to play with monetary and fiscal policy which results in the good times we are all enjoying at the moment. Wait until they discover hyperinflation...did you see that the Fed in the US is setting an inflation rate guideline (read 'goal')? Then they disarm only the law abiding citizens (gun control), leaving firearms exclusively with the government and the criminals, who soon become indistinguishable. Now they turn to knives with studies showing that sharp pointed knives can inflict serious bodily harm (In the US, such studies are usually funded by "earmarks".) Since making knives less sharp has the possibility of reducing Britain's murder rate by 30% (see article), it will be mandated. At the same time, just for good measure lets enact legislation to pad the pommel of the knife to decrease blunt trauma. The perp who can't get the knife between your ribs is likely to experience frustration and impotence, provoking memories of childhood discipline and flashbacks, with resulting loss of self esteem. Let's add some counseling into the law while we are at it. Legislation must not omit the requirement to dull the blade using some objective criteria, like setting the blade sharpness to standard that it would take an enraged adult 15 minutes to saw into the skin of a potato (must not use human or animal yardsticks here). Brits, beware! Next it will be your cudgels, morning stars and maces...followed by cricket bats that bear an uncanny resemblance to... For me, I'll just continue to stockpile guns and ammunition.yankingeorgia
Well duh! Basic physics, sharp pointy things will pierce better than dull rounded things. It took a "doctor" to figure out pointy knives stab easier? But then she's probably never met a really sharp slicing knife capable of removing a serious chunk of flesh, like say an entire quadriceps in one swipe. Absolutely brilliant piece of non-research with a conclusion that any primate knows by the time it has matured. Here's a clue for her, cast iron frying pans will cause greater blunt force trauma than spun aluminum frying pans. Oh, before I forget, she should know falling down hurts, falling farther hurts more. Somebody please wrap her useless ass in nerf and bubblewrap then park her permanently in a nice padded room with all rounded edges so she doesn't hurt herself trying to think.
In response to Broderben's 19 Feb. post ("try actually reading the BBC or another source of British news ... before you make your comments"): I read the BBC Internet edition regularly, and note with some interest the steady flow of pieces on gun attacks in the UK. I suppose this reflects the obvious success of the legal banning of handguns in eliminating firearms violence. After knives are eliminated as a source of danger, what next?
most knives in Chinese kitchen donot have sharp points, because they know a pointed knife is dangerous and in the kitchen a pointed knife is not needed.
Inconclusive study:It would be interesting if they videotaped people in the kitchen using knives on a daily basis and did a large sample study to determine this more accurately. A more fine grain analysis of who would benefit and under what circumstances could be practical and might identify opportunities for improvement. I would be interested in the calculus of calculating the pro's and cons for various situations as an example of game theory and use scenarios. Some people use the sharp point of knives in the kitchen to pierce food packaging such as the plastic wrapping on a block of cheeze purchased from the supermarket. Some people don't have a complete set of knives for every purpose and just use whatever is handy. It saves on dishes and is more convenient to use the same knife for eating with as stabbing packages or opening mail. For people with kids or who are clumsy they may find it's beneficial to have a pair of kitchen scissors handy to open food packaging and use blunt knives.
@fast eddythey measured the force, which is the weight of an object times it's velocity. Smaller knives would therefor require a longer drop to have the same force on impact.Please inform yourself about a given topic before posting smug comments on the same.
Why did the expermentors vary the drop height in order to ensure the same impact velocity? Didn't Galieo prove that objects dropped from the same height fall at the same speed, regardless of their weight? This of course ignores air resistance, but I doubt that different knives would have widely varying co-efficients of drag/cross sections. Let's hope the rest of the physics in this series of experiments is more sound.
Are consumers likely to choose a "new and improved" blunt knife design, sold alongside traditional sharp-pointed knives, on the basis that it will be less effective should someone try to commit murder in their kitchen? Perhaps it will depend on their assessment of their own stability or inclination towards violence relative to their housemates.
Perhaps you should read my allegorical metaphor a bit more carefully and you will see the parallels that I'm drawing.
The "Blunt Truth" is this ... the matter of reducing the lethality of knives was settled by the British Navy in the Eighteenth Century, or earlier, by blunting the tips. Now about murder weapons, Cain had no trouble slaying Abel with a stone. I cannot wait for the researchers to come up with their next plan reducing the blunt trauma caused by stones. The Brits attempt at reducing fiearms ownership resulted in disarming the law abiding and a surge in the the murder rate by emboldened criminals who, it would seem, are criminal because they ignore the law. No we can track with interest the rise of the next available murder weapon easily obtained. Prison documentaries are repleat with suggestions and models waiting for duplication. Can we soon look forward to a method of dealing with criminal intent since guns, knives and other weapons of choice don't leap up of their own accord and murder?
@JustanonymousPerhaps you should read the article more carefully, it makes no mention of banning knives but rather simply redesigning how the tips are made.
It is sad that there is a high incidence of knife crimes in the UK but is banning knives the answer.
Consider this as others have stated:
- If you curtail guns (as the UK did), people who want to kill resorted to knives and know there is high knife violence
- Remove knives, and people who want to kill resort to broom sticks
- Remove broom sticks, and people who want to kill use hammers
- Remove hammers, and people who want to kill use chairs
- Remove chairs, and people who want to kill use bricks
- Remove bricks, and people who want to kill use scissors
At some point if you carry this thinking forward you wind up with the elimination of toothpicks as another commentator mentions. At what point do we say "enough with the sillyness?" When we have to live in padded rooms in straight jackets and not being allowed to walk for fear that we might trip or eat for fear that we might choke?
Perhaps the problem with society is not with curtailing the instruments that can be turned into weapons but with education to help people people behave in a civil fashion.
I find it silly that this topic is being considered and that money was spent on its research. I'm so glad though that the article brings up the sillyness of banning knives.
I for one enjoyed this article - where else but the Economist can you find a well written clear article about random studies like this one? I've often wondered why airlines don't give you metal butter knives, but metal forks appear OK - I guess distributing the force across 4 points makes puncturing harder, like the sheep's hoof knife. Ah, the satisfaction of a useless piece of information!
The obvious solution for unwarrented knife violence in G.B. would be the widespread presence of handguns. Nip those pesky pokers in the bud, and they also make dandy meat tenderizers too,(unloaded, of course!).
As for child safety issues, keep them out of the kitchen ....they just make a mess anyway.
Wow, this article is incredibly ridiculous to see in the Economist. Knives have pointy ends that can be dangerous? Shocking, really.I wish that articles could be rated 'down' as well as 'up', as opposed to the current recommendation system (same with comments). Maybe Economist.com editors would get a better sense of worthy articles then.
Dear defenders of the article,
There's (supposed to be) something called common sense. Let families with small children or people with disabilities buy "safe" round-tipped knives (as they do exist) and get along with that minor incovenience. No need to bring up these trivialities on the pages of the Economist.
As for the wives and husbands stubbing each other with kitchen knives in crimes of passion, their choice of social partner and their consecutive decision to get rid of him/her (which usually results in a long prison sentence) speak for the fact that Darwin was right, and our species is evolving.
Again, there's fallacy in the logic that "most crimes involve knives". Eliminate knives, and another dangerous item will emerge as the "top gun" - and you can't do anything about it, it's how the math works in this case, unless you expect perfectly even distribution for all major deadly weapons which is nonsense.
I brought up the Okinawa "one knife per village" policy. Those into history would know what were its unintended results.
British people are silly.
Ok, agreed that for Economist standards, this was a pretty juvenile article. But deviating from the bashing for just a moment, what if we considered the danger that knives present to children. With parents off to work and children left to their own devices, doesn't a child's curiosity and imagination , coupled with a few nice sharp tipped knives, pose a serious threat to their own safety??
Speaking from experience, my brother and I had a 'sword fight' when we were kids....today my brother has a scar that bears the witness of several stitches. Ok, it wasn't really stabbing with the tip of the knife, but the possibility that another pair of children won't let their imaginations take flight is not a guarantee, is it?
To the many people who seem to find this article ridiculous, allow me to remind you that in the United Kingdom knife-related violence makes up a far larger percentage of crime than it does in the United States. Admittedly I honestly wish that my nation had these sort of problems in place of the eternally high levels of gun violence, but that does not mean that this is not a serious problem that needs to be dealt with. To all of you who think it isn't a problem, try actually reading the BBC or another source of British news (besides the admittedly admirable Economist) before you make your comments.

Summer days for some of us bring trips and vacations of all kinds. For some it means Disney Land and for others it means roughing it out in the wild for a while. Well for those that are going to be out in the middle of nowhere this Pocket Travel Well might be just the thing to take with you on your journey.
A quick trawl through the SlashGear archives and you'll see that OtterBox have already proved their worth in somewhat extreme circumstances, so when they launch a new product we know they mean business. It's Vincent's new Treo 755p that they've set their sights on this time, offering up not only a way to keep it safe from dust, spills and, um, falling bricks, but to keep using it at the time.
Is all this warm weather leaving you with dreams of camping and frolicking in the great outdoors? Just be careful out there, all those hours hiding away in your basement probably left you pretty white (Scott Barr), you might want to add a little sunblock. Well this Camp Stove Toaster might make camping a little more convenient for you this summer.
Need to use your hose a lot, but don't really have time to deal with it? Watering systems are becoming very complicated and this system just adds a little to a simple one. The Dual Hose Programmable Timer could make things a little easier when you are working on your yard.
The timer just attaches to your regular outdoor faucet and actually splits the stream of water. It allows you to have two hoses going at once. The great part is the timer, you can program it to turn on and off whenever you want. You can program it for up to seven days in advance. Which really isn't necessary for the average Joe but if you have a large garden/yard it might be nice.
It would also be nice for people owning very small farms so that they don't forget to turn off the faucet when filling up a trough. Trust me, that isn't pretty. Unfortunately it is a little pricey at $129.95. However, it might be worth it for all the water you save.
Dual Hose Programmable Timer [via coolest-gadgets]
It's always nice to have a patio for all of your barbecues. It would seem everyone has them anymore, which might influence some to change theirs up a bit to stand out from the crowd. Well these tiles of concrete could help with just that.
Although the concrete seems plain at first sight, if you stick around to see it rain, it will reveal another side. When this concrete gets wet a cute pattern shows up. In addition to this star pattern I came across a photo of a flowing vine as well. Those are the only two designs I am aware of, but there could be more out there.
These tiles were created as a graduation project and are known as Solid Poetry. If you would like to find pricing you will have to email Frederikmolenschot.

Premium NLT for your premium Nokona Glove. Nokona Leather Treatment is taken to the next level, made with a unique Beeswax/Propolis Suspension FormulaTM that provides a time-release lubrication. These natural oils gradually seep into the leather, especially when exposed to heat or constant flexing. As a result, the leather gets oiled instead of drying out or cracking. NLT-P also resists bacteria and mildew, and protects leather from the effects of perspiration.
How to break in your glove - with Rob Storey.
* Please be aware that there is no coloring in laser branding, the contrast will be greater on lighter colored leathers.
(Posted by Peter Doroschin on 30th Nov 2014)
Great product easy to use, feels natural.

IPO Thoughts:
Rob Riggle (RRIGG)
Here is a nice starbond, who will have a decent first adjust and will follow it up with two great starbond adjusts, where RRIGG will be dropping very small movies and adding very large ones.
RRIGG has a nice series of starbond adjusts coming up. He will be adding Big Miracle for his first adjust, and then a month later he will be appearing in The Lorax, and then he will be appearing in 21 Jumpstreet.
The Next Adjust: RRIGG's next adjust on 2/27/12 will drop The Goods: Live Hard Sell Hard ($15,102,127) and add Big Miracle (currently trading at $21.14). At current prices, his next adjust would go up 1.21 points |

Free Picture Resize Starter 4.5.10 User Reviews
A newer version of Free Picture Resize Starter is available.
Or, Learn More About Free Picture Resize StarterExcellent
"Too slow for my needs."
Version: Free Picture Resize Starter 4.5.10
Resizes as advertised.
It takes a long time to load the images beings processed, very inconvenient if you're resizing 50+ large images at a time.
I found Fotosizer to be more suitable to the task.
"Photo editing software performance"
Version: Free Picture Resize Starter 4.5.10
- The purpose is not just to resize images but to optimize the interface displayed. drop-down list allows you to resize the image to fit the e-mail, burn disc images, displayed in a program-instant messenger, or online publishing
- Easy customization options, though obviously you can not edit the presets. However, you will find a built-in image editor with basic features, such as drawing tools and a utility back. The tools included for creating slide shows and icons are pretty basicCons
interface is easy to use, widely used and multiple users
"Friendly Image Editor"
Version: Free Picture Resize Starter 4.5.10
It is very understandable, so simple to use. Every function shows right on GUI. With a few clicks, i resize images with high resolution.
it stays clean, compatible. thanks
"Awesome image editor!"
Version: Free Picture Resize Starter 4.5.10
The good thing of app is that it hits right into the instant need of users like fast food: it is the answer to the question: why not to use Picasa. this is what i want to resize a batch of images instantly. this apps resizes very fast and quality of resized images is as good as it was configured.
it works beautifully for me. no cons.
"Good picture editor"
Version: Free Picture Resize Starter 4.5.10
the big and paid software such as Adobe Photoshop always confuses me. this software is so friendly to me to edit my pictures. it is light-weight, efficient.
i haven't found any bug yet.
"Keep good image Quality !!!"
Version: Free Picture Resize Starter 4.5.10
change the size of your pictures, rotate, convert and optimize them, as well as apply several image adjustments (e.g. brighten, contrast, sharpen, soften).
The features offered by Free Picture Resize Starter are pretty limited. You cannot even configure program settings (e.g. enable the tool to minimize to system tray). Plus, the interface is outdated.
Simple-to-use program requires a very low amount of system resources (which is barely noticeable), has a good response time, quickly finishes a conversion job and manages to keep a good image quality in the output images.
"Outstaning picture editor"
Version: Free Picture Resize Starter 4.5.10
It works effectively and help resize my photos correctly. It is a good tool to optimize picture size without loosing quality
it works well
"Good photo editor!"
Version: Free Picture Resize Starter 4.5.10
This is a good tool for me. I have lot of fun with my pcitures using this software
works fine, i don't know how to give a better feedback
"Good performance, enough features, good UI."
Version: Free Picture Resize Starter 4.5.10
Good performance, enough features (for a free picture editor), good, easy-to-understand UI, batch editing.
No complaints.
"A simple-to-use free program."
Version: Free Picture Resize Starter 4.5.10
Batch mode. Also works great for zooming, cropping, rotating, sharpening, softening, and changing the contrast and brightness.
Awesome little thing. Can't complain.

Hey everyone!
It's been a while since I last checked in. In fact, it's been so long that I just realised I never posted the cosplay interview I did here (and that was in January!). Japan Cinema invited me to chat to them for a while for their cosplay corner - if you're interested, you can read about it over here.
In other news, I have finally gotten around to doing a photoshoot for Rapunzel! Thank you so much to for being such an amazing photographer...you're so nice to me :'D And so, since I'm about to attack you all with photos, I figured it would be a great time to finally, finally post the FAQ I've been promising for her wig. Here we go!
Oh my god, is that your real hair?
Er, no. Really, really no.
It must be really heavy then! How much does it weigh?
This is hands down the most common question I hear. I finally, finally weighed it today: 1.48kg (or 3.26 lbs). Actually not as bad as I might have guessed!
That's still pretty heavy. How does it stay on your head?
Just a few bobby pins! Sometimes it slips backwards a little, but that's only if I've been in too much of a hurry to pin it properly.
Does it hurt?
Ha ha not at all! I get a little paranoid about moving my head around too much, so I might seem a little stiffer than usual, but that's the worst it does. I always pack pain killers just in case when I wear it, but I haven't needed them yet!
How on earth did you make it?
I heard this question so often I actually made a tutorial for the process. You can find it over here:
Wait, five wigs? Why on earth didn't you just use fewer, longer wigs?
For me, colour was the absolute priority. Rapunzel has gorgeous, shining, golden blonde hair and I wanted to capture that - platinum, ash, white or orange blonde just wasn't going to cut it for me. So I spent a long time wig shopping, but in the end was only happy with the colour of the one I chose.
If you don't mind so much about the colour (or if you're luckier than I am and find the perfect colour in a longer wig!), you can of course use longer wigs. I have seen some do exactly that...although sometimes they warn that longer wigs are much harder to comb/manage! So that's something to keep in mind too.
Which wig, exactly, did you end up buying?
I bought it off ebay, where they still sell the exact same wig for a little under $20/wig. Another lovely cosplayer () mentioned that you can haggle to get five for the price of four!
My extensions were from ikickshins.net. They're super cheap, at $2.75/bag. I bought three bags of KK Jumbo Braid in #144 Gold. I think they're 48" long - I didn't trim mine at all, but obviously it will depend on your height.
Hmmm, those prices don't seem too bad. How much did it cost you overall?
Including all the fake flowers, probably between AU$170-$180. Which, admittedly, is better than I was anticipating!
Good god, did you just use glue on a wig?! Why on earth would you do that?
Better question: why not? It worked, didn't it? I knew from the start that I wouldn't be retrieving these wigs to use them for anything else, and hell if I was going to take it all apart to wash it - I would just have to take good care of it instead.
Some of the earliest and best advice I received in wig-styling was this: wigs are not real hair, and the earlier you realise that the further you'll be able to take them. I used to be very tentative in how I styled/brushed/managed them, which always took a long time and saw pretty average results. Eventually I just went "STUFF IT" and now...well, I'm happy with how Rapunzel turned out.
I would not recommend using glue on real hair, for the record.
This seems like an awful lot of work. How long did it take you?
Maybe four to five days? Mainly though it just needs the time for the caulk to set - the actual work you could probably fit into the space of a day, if it was intensive! And an extra day for clean up, ahahahahaha.
What...what is caulk?
Yeah, I barely know either. It's one of those DIY home repair things, but I've only ever used it in the context of wig styling! It's a thick, white paste that dries clear. I ended up using DAP Kwik Seal Plus Kitchen & Bath Adhesive Caulk. If you're having trouble finding it in the hardware store, Katie Blair often uses it in her wigs and sells it over here.
Soooo...can I just pay you to make me one?
My flatmate would actually murder me, and that just wouldn't work out well for anyone. Honestly, give it a try - you may surprise yourself!
Can I translate this tutorial into another language?
Knock yourself out - I think it's amazing! It's actually already been translated to French, which you can find over here.
I don't like how you made the wig.
That's fine! By no means do I think this is the only way to make Rapunzel's lovely hair - it just worked for me, so I thought I'd share.
I would actually love to link to alternative methods to making Rapunzel's wig. If you have a tutorial that you made (or if you used this one with some alterations) and you'd like to share your experiences with me, please do so! Let me know as well if I can link it here and I'll add it on - we'll compile a bit of a reference list for those seeking help.
Good luck!

Intellectual? achievement. What grade do you suppose he got in that class that no one can see transcripts for? Or like all things Obama is it something of fantasy in his long list of "accomplishments". (It is possible that he did take and possibly pass an art history class, which might explain how he got the Nobel Peace Prize...)

This year, our speakers will be presenting challenging and timely material on the theme: A Brave New World: Economics and Politics in the 21st Century.
Our keynote speakers will be General Sir Richard David Shirreff, Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe (Deputy SACEUR), NATO; Charles Dallara, F75, F86, Executive Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chairman of the Americas, Partners Group (USA) Inc.; and Michael W. Klein, William L. Clayton Professor of International Economic Affairs, The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy.
Chatham House rules will be in effect, allowing for candid, revealing, and sometimes provocative discussion not afforded to participants at similar events. Active alumni participation and insight in this discussion is eagerly anticipated.
Talloires is a place of peace and seclusion located in the heart of the French Alps, on the shores of Lake Annecy. The Tufts European Center, a restored 11th century monastery, makes the perfect venue for this Fletcher event.
As attendance at our gatherings in Talloires has grown, the experience has proven to be not only engaging intellectually, but also a catalyst to strengthen the ties among diverse members of the Fletcher global network, while increasing the School's profile in Europe. We hope you will be able to join us.

Learning that your child has special needs can be overwhelming and coping with the diagnosis can daunting. Debbie Bertrand, a Rockland County mom and advocate of families of children with special needs, shares her experiences as she navigated life after her daughter was diagnosed with cerebral palsy.
When her younger daughter was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at age 3, Haverstraw resident Debbie Bertrand says she didn't know anything about the disorder. "It was life-altering. I remember thinking 'This cannot be happening,'" Bertrand says. "I didn't know where to get help or where to go from there."
A decade later—during which her daughter was further diagnosed with ADHD, auditory processing disorder, and vision perception issues—Bertrand launched Parent Resource Lifeline (parentresourcelifeline.org), a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing support and reliable resources for families that have children with special needs.
Here, the mom-turned-advocate talks about the mission of her organization and offers advice for other parents of children newly diagnosed with special needs.
Why did you found Parent Resource Lifeline, and what's the mission of the organization?
For years I've been wanting to help other parents of special needs children, because it's so frustrating to not know what the next step is after a diagnosis. I have a few missions: First is to collect all resources for parents, and I want to weed out the bad ones. I also want to create a society for parents so we can all talk to each other—it's a great asset when you find someone who understands what you're going through. I also want to help money-wise—some parent advocates are free, some aren't, and lawyers and some therapies can be expensive.
What was it like coping with your daughter's cerebral palsy diagnosis?
In the beginning I had a lot of guilt. I thought I did something wrong when I was pregnant. Even though the doctors say 'This is not your fault,' there's a part of every mom that says 'It was my responsibility.' After a while, you just learn that you have to listen to your head—your heart always tells you you're guilty, because that's what moms do. I don't think any mom will ever get rid of that guilt, but you have to learn to say 'It doesn't matter whose fault it is, I just have to make my daughter the best she can be.'
What's one thing you wish every parent knew when hearing a special needs diagnosis for their child?
Thinking about a parent just finding out—it really gets me, because it puts me in that place. Just take a deep breath and know it's all going to be okay. This child was given to you for a reason, because you're a great parent. You're going to do just fine. The first year is the toughest, and there will definitely be new challenges along the way, but everything will be okay.
Make sure you find someone to talk to. When I started talking, I felt so much better. But when you tell someone and there's silence because they don't know what to say—because 'Sorry' just doesn't sound good enough—don't get angry. Just find someone else to talk to.
Do you feel like you've found acceptance, or is that more of an ongoing struggle?
I think it's an everyday [struggle], and you have to learn to accept that. You have to take a deep breath and keep your eyes on the prize, and that's to make her a successful adult—that's my job. I always say I want her to be the best she can be, no matter what that is. I don't care if she's working in a grocery store—my goal is to help her be the best grocery store worker she can be. And take it one day at a time. If you look at the whole picture, it's so overwhelming and you'll break down. And you need to occasionally do that: Just sit in a room and cry it all out. But try to take it one little piece at a time.
What do you do to keep from feeling overwhelmed?
I have 30 minutes to myself in the morning. I get up before the children, I take a deep breath, and I find that little peace. I always say I would not be a good mom if I didn't take that time for myself. You have to stay in touch with who you are as a person in order to be a good mom, whether you have a child with special needs or not. I would rather have 30 more minutes of sleep, but you have to make it a priority.
How do you deal with the frustration you feel when your daughter doesn't meet milestones like other children?
You assume that they can do what other kids can, then all of a sudden you realize they can't. But that's okay. It's okay that they're not the same. You don't want your child to be the same as every other child. They're special, and they're going to touch lives that other kids can't. I have encountered children with special needs with hearts of gold. My daughter sees things that I just don't see. She brings me back down to Earth. I love seeing life through her eyes.
You have an older daughter who doesn't have special needs. Is it a struggle to parent your daughters equally?
I'm constantly concerned about that. I remember last year I said 'Okay, every two weeks I'm going to go into my daughter's bedroom and remind her that I love her, tell her how proud I am, and just love on her for a couple minutes.' I did that for a couple months, then one day I walked in there and she said 'Mom, I don't have any issues, I'm good.' Now I do it about once a month. I don't go in her room and purposefully say it, but I'll be sitting at the kitchen table and I'll say 'I'm so glad you're my daughter' or something like that—little words of encouragement. I think it compensates for that time you can't spend with them.
I'm also concerned about effects that one sibling has on another. ADHD is a huge issue as my younger daughter is hitting puberty, and she puts her frustration on the older one. And I have to constantly pull that back and make sure I'm as much of an advocate for my older daughter as I am for my younger.
Any advice for other parents on juggling the responsibilities that come with having a child with special needs?
My biggest asset is structure. I structure time for certain things. When it's time to help my daughter with homework, that's all I do. I don't try to multitask—I focus on one thing at a time. It helps the kids too, because you're calm. If they see you organized, they'll follow in your footsteps. If you make lists and stay focused, you'll be more peaceful and relaxed and they'll feel that.
And you can't be afraid to ask for help. Moms always want to do 50 things at once, but find those people who connect with your child and use them. There was one night I was studying with my daughter and we were not meshing—that happens. I called up my friend, he came over, and he took her out to study. Trust the people in your life. If they connect, they're going to give your child something you don't have or you're too close to see. And they're going to be rewarded too—the connection they have with your child is something they'll never experience anywhere else.

If you thought you were having a bad day, just be grateful that you're not New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis. Loomis is already suspended for the first eight games of the season for his role in that whole BountyGate scandal, but that is so 2011. Check out this whole new mess looming over Loomis now, as reported earlier today by ESPN. According to an unnamed source with knowledge of the Saints' game-day operations, Loomis had a radio receiver in his Superdome press box re-wired so that he could listen to the opposing coaching staff during the Saints' home games.

NYU Student Robert Cohen Wins Inaugural Sloan Screenwriting Prize
"Bystander" is inspired by the aftermath of the rape and murder of Queens resident Kitty Genovese in 1964.
NYU Tisch School of the Arts student Robert Cohen has been awarded the inaugural Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Student Grand Jury Prize for Screenwriting for his dramatic script Bystander.
The Tribeca Film Institute announced the $50,000 grant -- for an exceptional screenplay that focuses on science or scientists -- Thursday. Cohen will receive a $30,000 cash prize, plus $20,000 to be used in support of the project with year-round help from Tribeca.
Bystander is inspired by the aftermath of the infamous rape and murder of Queens resident Kitty Genovese in 1964, which involved a groundbreaking psychological study on the "Bystander Effect" of witnesses failing to intervene.
Cohen's screenplay was drawn from a collection of entries from AFI, Carnegie Mellon University, Columbia University, NYU, UCLA and USC. The awards committee included Morgan Freeman, Eric Roth, HBO Films president Len Amato, Dr. Darcy Kelley of Columbia University and 1986 Nobel Laureate Dr. Dudley Herschbach of Harvard University.
"We are delighted to establish this inaugural award honoring the year's single most outstanding science screenplay from our film school partners," said Doron Weber, vp of programs for the Sloan Foundation. "We see this as the next stage in our decade-plus commitment to influencing the next generation of filmmakers and expanding the types of stories and range of characters that can make for great films. With over 250 student film projects funded by Sloan, plus dozens more from our screenplay development partners, we have one of the richest pipelines of scripts anywhere—and I've read every one so I can attest to their remarkable quality. This year alone we have half a dozen projects that have been shot or are going into production and we hope that Robert Cohen's Bystander, aided by TFI's stellar experience and expertise—Tribeca has been an exceptional partner for Sloan—will soon join their ranks."
Since 1997, the Sloan Foundation has given over $3 million in grants to film students around the country. Cohen will receive his award at a reception in New York March 3.

The administrative specialist for a department performs a variety of administrative and support functions necessary for the smooth operation of the department. They perform administrative and bookkeeping tasks, aid clients and staff in preparing forms and reports, and transfer information into a digital format as necessary. (Afterward, the digital information is often entered into the department database, and the administrative specialist is in charge of maintaining the records and the database.) Additionally, the administrative specialist schedules events and appointments for the department. To facilitate these appointments and events, the specialist contacts clients and vendors on a regular basis to coordinate activities, meetings, and calls.

As Administrative Specialists make advancements in their career path to roles like Executive Assistant, salaries often climb aggressively. On average, Executive Assistants will make $45K annually. It is not unusual for an Administrative Specialist to become an Executive Secretary or Administrative Assistant or an Executive Administrative Assistant.
Administrative Specialists will find the worst pay at University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), where the median salary crawls in at $45K. Furthermore, compensation is curbed at $51K, leaving little room for growth.
Administrative Specialists seem to require a rather large skill set. Most notably, skills in Microsoft Word, Human Resources, Accounting, and Project Management are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 11 percent and 19 percent. Skills that seem to negatively impact pay include Data Entry and Customer Relations. Those with knowledge of Customer Relations tend to be skilled in Microsoft Office as well.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience does not seem to be a strong driver of pay increase in this role. The average inexperienced worker's salary is approximately $33K, and people with five to 10 years of experience bring in more at around $36K on average. Administrative Specialists see a median salary of $39K after reaching one to two decades on the job. Individuals who have achieved more than 20 years of experience don't seem to earn much more than people who have 10 to 20 years under their belts; the more senior group reports an average income of $40K.
