Hey all y'all dog people. My pooch has had a, ahem...flatulence problem lately (even the cats have to leave the room!). I haven't changed her diet in any way. Suggestions on how to fix this stinky problem would be most appreciated. Anyone got a gas mask?? ROFLMKO

Hello Bluffton!! I have learned in the last few days that my daughter and I will be traveling to China next Summer for eleven days. She was honored with being nominated for the Global Youth Leadership Conference. Here is the website: http://www.cylc.org/gylc/index.cfm She chose China because she (and myself too) has always wanted to go there. This country gal has only traveled the CONUS and Mexico. If any of you in "blogland" have traveled overseas, your tips, advice, counsel would be most appreciated. Thanks y'all!!!!

Hey Bluffton, I have a commercial I want to share with you. It is dealing with abortion and murder. It is VERY graphic and some may take offense to it. Please do NOT watch it with young kids around!!! I'd like to hear your opinions on this contraversial commercial. Again, I warn you...it is VERY graphic.

Texas Rangers fighting cattle rustling thieves.
POSTED: Saturday, November 14, 2009 - 8:31am
UPDATED: Thursday, February 25, 2010 - 11:34am
It sounds like something out of the old west, Texas Rangers are chasing down the cattle rustlers, as the old crime is making a comeback.
For the second year in a row, Texas rustling may reach record levels, Scott Friedman say U.S. ranchers are fighting back with the help of their own modern day posse.

SPN 387 • Violence in Medieval & Early Modern Spanish Literature
Unique | Days | Time | Location | Instructor |
48300 |
Course Description
This course examines literary manifestations of violence, both literal and metaphorical. Recent studies of media violence and audience responses to it suggest that media violence can be classified according to intensity (playful or unrealistic; realistic or graphic), authenticity (i.e., involving violence close to the viewer's reality, such as domestic violence, or as in news footage or documentaries), or degrees of metaphor or literalness. Theoretical analyses and literary representations of violence can range from the very abstract and detached to the very specific and meticulous. Some of these analytical schemes can be applied to literature of the past; others are more problematic. What is clear is that medieval and early modern Spanish literature exhibits its share of violence, both literally graphic and metaphoric-hegemonic. The Cantar de Mio Cid is about feudal and frontier warfare. But its most violent depictions involve extreme domestic violence (assault and rape). Berceo's Milagros de Nuestra Señora express virulent anti-Semitism and clearly approve of inquisitorial interrogation and pogroms. Amadís, the most famous and popular chivalric romance, contains numerous scenes of violence worthy of the most graphic horror films of the present day. La Celestina, wallowing in a sordid urban reality that prefigures the dog-eat-dog naturalism of a Pardo Bazán or a Zola, culminates in murder and execution. Bernal's Historia verdadera depicts big-canvas scenes of slaughter, mayhem, and torture. Lope's Fuenteovejuna dramatizes a story arc of seignorial oppression in the form of rapes and beatings, of peasant uprising that takes the form of quasi-ritual lynch mob violence, and of monarchic investigation involving mass torture of an entire community. Don Quijote often provokes hilarity by its scenes of violence, which seem cartoonish (beatings, thrashings, lopped ears, smashed teeth, thwacked skulls, etc.), until we directly compare them to analogous scenes in the romances. The course interprets violence as a diffuse but omnipresent cultural system that involves both elite and subaltern groups.

5 Stocks Poised to Pop on Bullish Earnings
Jive Software
Another potential earnings short-squeeze play is social business software platform provider Jive Software (JIVE - Get Report), which is set to release its numbers on Tuesday after the market close. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect Jive Software to report revenue of $31.15 million on a loss of 15 cents per share.
Just this morning, Credit Suisse reccomended Jive Software as a buy, with a $20 price target, ahead of its earnings report.
>>3 Big Tech Stocks to Trade (or Not) The current short interest as a percentage of the float for Jive Software is extremely high at 29.9%. That means that out of the 27.02 million shares in the tradable float, 6.27 million shares are sold short by the bears. The bears have also been increasing their bets from the last reporting period by 4.9%, or by about 293,000 shares. If the bears are caught pressing their bets into a strong quarter, then we could easily see a big short-squeeze develop post-earnings. From a technical perspective, JIVE is currently trending above its 50-day moving average and below its 200-day moving average, which is neutral trendwise. This stock has been uptrending strong for the last three months, with shares soaring from its low of $10.63 to its recent high of $15.86 a share. During that uptrend, shares of JIVE have been consistently making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now pushed shares of JIVE within range of triggering a major breakout trade post-earnings. If you're in the bull camp on JIVE, then I would wait until after its report and look for long-biased trades if this stock manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $15.80 to $15.86 a share and then once it clears its 200-day moving average at $16.36 a share with high volume. Look for volume on that move that registers near or above its three-month average volume of 660,403 shares. If that breakout triggers, then JIVE will set up to re-fill some of its previous gap down zone from last August that started near $19.89 a share. I would simply avoid JIVE or look for short-biased trades if after earnings it fails to trigger that breakout, and then drops back below its 50-day at $14.46 and more support levels at $14.28 to $13.86 a share with high volume. If we get that move, then JIVE will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major support levels at $13 to $12.76 a share.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

49ers-Giants draws massive ratings
NEW YORK -- The New York Giants' overtime victory over the San Francisco 49ers was the third-most watched conference championship game in 30 years.
Super Bowl XLVI
Get all the news and commentary on the Patriots-Giants matchup on ESPN.com's Super Bowl Central.
• Clayton: 10 Super Bowl questions
• How To Stop: Brady | Manning
• Playoff Centers: Patriots | Giants
• Blog network:
Patriots | AFC East | Giants | NFC East
New York's 20-17 win for the NFC title Sunday on Fox had a 30.6 fast national rating and 44 share, Nielsen Media Research said Monday.
The rating was up 9 percent from the 28.1/50 for Green Bay's 21-14 win over Chicago in the early conference championship last year on Fox and an increase of 8 percent from the 28.3/43 for Pittsburgh's 24-19 victory over the New York Jets in the last game on CBS.
The game drew 57.6 million viewers, according to Fox, trailing only San Francisco's win over Dallas on Jan. 10, 1982, which featured Dwight Clark's famous leaping touchdown catch (68.7 million), and New Orleans' overtime victory over Minnesota on Jan. 24, 2010 (57.9 million).
Viewers peaked from 10-10:30 p.m. EST with a 36.9/52 and 69 million viewers.
New England's 23-20 win over Baltimore in the AFC title game drew a 27.4/48 fast national, the highest rating for an early AFC championship since the San Diego's 17-13 win over Pittsburgh drew a 28.3/58 on NBC in January 1995. The Patriots' win drew 48.7 million viewers.
The NFC playoffs averaged a 23.9/43 and 42.6 million viewers, the network's most watched playoffs and up 11 percent from last year.
The rating is the percentage of television households tuned to a program, and the share is the percentage among those households with televisions on at the time.

Moonlit Reflections</b>
Velvet waters surge
and swell;
gentle persistence lapping
at the sandy shores.
Grain by grain, debris
is swept;
caressed and cleansed
within the lightly verdant foam.
Subtle erosion,
an angel reveals.
Crystalline fragility;
a rescue
(long awaited)
from this, its hidden grave.
Prismatic eyes reflect
the simple brilliance
of Selune's seductive smile.
Glass, marred by glass unborn;
etchings deeper worn upon
this pock-marked silicone calendar;
Years, to this angel, have been
A God's pale fingers
(to a statue so small)
consume her broken delicance.
Cracked frigidity, now held warm,
as scars of Chronos find soothing comfort
inside the veil; wrapped tight
within His silken
folds of satin safety.
Stained-glassed wings refract
the light of adoration.
Delicate treasure, released
by the sea; long last,
does restoration begin.

Samsung Galaxy S5 benchmarked, Snapdragon 800 under the hood [Update]
Benchmarks may be suspect to some, but they can reveal quite a bit. Aside from performance, of which the validity has been called into question many times, we can learn a lot about the hardware makeup of a handset. At MWC, we ran a quick benchmark test on the new Galaxy S5. The results may surprise you.

I have some questions about the MK9 vs. the PM9 for pocket carry, as a backup gun (BUG).
These two are nearly identical, except the PM9 has a polymer frame and weighs 14oz, whereas the MK9 is all-steel and weighs 22oz. Choice of color/finish, sights. I appreciate the weight differences, particularly as it affects desirability for all-day carry, and in terms of risk of limp-wristing the recoil.
- Not interested in any feedback on ergonomics, usage.
- Not interested in alternatives to the PM9, MK9 (in this thread). I want comparative points about these two, and that's it.
Questions: Function / Reliability differences between the PM9 and MK9
- Basic reliability -- What's your opinion about polymer-framed guns, in this regard, specifically in comparison to an equivalent one made in all-steel?
- Slide operation -- Any reason why one or the other would operate any differently, or more reliably? If so, why?
- Slide stiffness -- Is the stiff nature of the mini Kahrs something that they all experience, given the size? Does the stiffness lessen over time?
- Cycling of rounds -- Any difference in terms of reliability to feed, eject or cycle bullets?
- Feeding -- Are feeding problems common with the mini Kahrs?
- Have you had a PM9 or MK9 and had the Kahr gunsmithing shop perform any smoothing/changes, specifically for reliability?
- Have you ever used either an MK9 or PM9? If so, what do you like/dislike about it?
Am interested in any concrete examples, if you have them. The more detail the better.
Some may know that I'm currently running a PM9 through its paces, for possible use as a daily carry gun. However, I'm having a notable number of FTF problems. A symptom of the break-in is also minor gouging along the plastic "rail" area on the frame, though it's unknown if this is merely a typical break-in characteristic or is actually related to the cycling issues (as Kahr has indicated).

"Un Día en la Plaza", (roughly translated as "A Day at the Park", an obvious nod to the Marx Bros. movies A Day at the Races and A Night at the opera) is the short film that I made as my college thesis and that for some unexplainable reason has gotten a lot of good buzz everywhere I've shown it. So much so that it got me a job as production assistant in an upcoming movie by one of the country's most talented directors.
The short is sort of a modern day silent comedy which I made as both homage to the Silent greats and as a sort of a protest to the regime that my college became over the course of my student years (it nearly got me kicked out for giving the bad guy a similar name to the dean). This is also the first thing in which I worked with a big team, which allowed me to direct and act at the same time.
It's currently competing on a festival and the rules don't allow me to show it online or on television until it's over and distribution deals are settled, but here's one brief scene from it, as well as the trailer and the bloopers (which are in Spanish, but hey, what the hell).
Kimi ni Todoke is one of my favorite shows, hell, it made it to the top of my "best of 2009" list when it wasn't even over. So that alone tells you I really, really liked it. Almost a year after the end of the first season, the second season finally starts. And you know what? The first episode did not disappoint.
The thing that appeals to me the most about the series is that it doesn't rely exclusively on one element and make a whole show out of it like most shows from nowadays. It's a wonderful combination of a beautiful art style, heartwarming story and charming characters.
The first episode of the second season starts a month after the end of the first, specifically on Valentine's Day. Our super cute, super shy heroine Sawako is a little more confident of herself and makes chocolates for all her friends, including her crush, Kazehaya. However, she finds herself in a dilemma when she sees Kazehaya rejecting the chocolates of a girl who was confessing her love to him. She starts wondering whether or not her chocolates are truly "friendly" or if there are other intentions behind them, never knowing that no matter the case Kazehaya would accept them because he actually likes her. This dilemma takes most of the episode which is why we mostly see Sawako talking to herself and what's going on her mind, but the interactions with the key secondary characters are still there, most of them working as comedic relief.
KnT has always had an undeniable charm, and this episode is no different. The miniature-Sawako that appears whenever she doesn't understand something fairly obvious is still cute and funny as hell and unsurprisingly, the colorful style hasn't changed at all.
It was surprising though, that unlike the first episode of the first season, this one ended on a somewhat sad note. It's not cut your veins-depressing but it was a nice cliffhanger that will surely make that wait for the second episode so much more dreadful. A new character was also briefly introduced, though we don't get to see much of him, he looks interesting and seems like he could add a great love triangle element to the show.
The only negative thing I can say about this show is that the opening and ending are rather disappointing. Especially when compared to the songs of the first season. The opening is just bad, and the ending, though not terrible, is not anything special or memorable.
Kimi ni Todoke is a beautiful series, I don't think I've ever smiled this much watching an anime. The characters are lovable, the art is beautiful and the story is developing to become one of the best romance animes ever. It's not even over yet, but the 11 episodes I've seen so far have already established it as my favorite this year.
Ok, technically it started in 2008, but most of it was aired early this year so I'm gonna take it into consideration. Toradora! Is funny, sad and just… cute, I guess that's the best word to explain it. Sure it's predictable, but who cares? The characters and situations more than make up for that.
Yet another show that started in 08 but that I will also add to this list because more than half of it was aired this year. After Story is a fantastic sequel to a fantastic series and has some incredibly sad moments. The ending was disappointing but other than that, just great.
Only Shaft can take such a weird concept and make it into something enjoyable. Bakemonogatari is fantastically strange, filled with great characters and some of the strangest plots I've ever had the pleasure to watch.
Yes, K-on! I know some people here hate it but I thought it was ridiculously funny and as a music lover I enjoyed watching the process of the creation of a band. It doesn't hurt that the animation is awesome too and that the characters are lovable.
Even though I'm not a fan of yuri, I enjoyed this series a lot. It's a fun little romantic comedy that while doesn't even come close to the awesomeness of Kimi ni todoke and Toradora! It's really good. I love the intro music too, such a soft and calm tune, makes me feel relaxed.
I didn't expect much from 11 Eyes, I thought it was going to be another shounen crap filled with fanservice, and in many ways it is. But there's something about it that caught my attention, maybe it was the weird concept, the title having nothing to do with the story, the batshit crazy characters, the panty-shots or maybe all of that but it grew on me. Awesome little show.
Endless Eight aside, the new episodes of Haruhi featured some genuinely brilliant moments. It's more Haruhi and that's never a bad thing. Screw the haters.
Kobato is by no means original. It's your typical Clamp stuff. But it's so adorable that I can't keep myself from watching it every week. And that alone grants it a spot on this list.
What can I say? I love cats and Nyan Koi has plenty of that. The quality of the episodes decreased after episode 7 or 8 which is why it's all the way down here, but the first episodes were hilarious enough to give it a spot on the list.

Today we have lost a long time community member. After battling an infection for about a week he awoke this morning with a heavy fever and shortness of breath. He was admitted this morning to the hospital. A short time later on he slipped away and they were unable to revive him.
Whether or not you hated him or loved him you at least knew where he stood on any topic you could find on these forums. Many of you will see that we have lost a long time community member. I myself have lost one of my closest friends. My thoughts go out to his wife and family.
I shall miss you my friend.
Please use this thread to pay your respects. Any disrespect will be removed from this thread.
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_n8TuSVmOrw]To all my friends, present past and beyond
Especially those who weren't with us too long
Life is the most precious thing we can lose
While you were here the fun was never ending
Laugh a minute was only beginning
BerserkerBarage this one's for you
Ever get the feeling you can't go on
Just remember whose side it is that you're on
You've got friends with you till the end
If you're ever in a tough situation
We'll be there with no hesitation
Brotherhood's our rule we cannot bend
When you're feeling too close to the bottom
You know who it is you can count on
Someone will pick you up again
We can conquer anything together
All of us are bonded forever
If you die I die that's the way it is
To all my friends, present past and beyond
To all those who weren't with us too long
Life is the most precious thing you can lose
While you were here the fun was never ending
Laugh a minute was only the beginning
Berserker, my brother, this one's for you[/url]
This song fits perfectly the way I feel. Miss you man.

3/1/2010 6:13:08 PM PermalinkI do not know if this has been posted yet, but here is his last OP in the H3ITWP group; [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] BerserkerBarage Okay, so a recent thread in Optimatch b!tching about Shishka made me want to take a trip down memory lane. Anyone who has been on B.net for any amount of time knows that the person who is in charge of Optimatch always sucks. Because that person is personified as the person who is keeping YOUR Halo experience from being exactly how you want it. So, I decided to go back in time (ie click the last page of Opti) and read what people were complaining about in good ol' 2004. While I was wading through the countless posts of "Anonymous User (Deleted)" who posts a ton, I came across this beauty of a thread: [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=1133989]LINKY[/url] It's only 2 posts, the OP and a "bump", but it certainly caught my eye. To put the post in perspective, this thread was created after Halo 2 was released and Bungie was experiencing some problems with MM in regards to XBL. There were really long wait times and a lot of times the MM process would just start over. A lot of people were upset by this, and for the sheer fact that Bungie had decided to go with their MM process instead of a "server list". So, apparently Bungie does listen to our concerns, it just takes them 6 years and you have to promise to update their blog for them in exchange. ~B.B.[/quote] -

Only you can mend,
You can mend.
I guess that's love,
I can't pretend,
I can't pretend.
Feel, my skin is rough,
But it can be cleansed,
It can be cleansed.
And my arms are tough,
But they can be bent,
They can be bent.
And I wanna fight,
But I can't contend.
I guess that's love,
I can't pretend,
I can't pretend.
Oh, feel our bodies grow,
And our souls they blend.
Yeah love I hope you know,
How much my heart depends.

The tail is so beautiful and has a fire look to it. c:
Love it! <33

Ten things we can learn about Google SEO - from Angry Birds
Msg#: 4291712 posted
5:25 am on Apr 4, 2011
(gmt 0)
I just read an article by Daniel Rasmus on Macworld called
10 things that CIOs can learn from Angry Birds
], and it struck me that even though most of us don't really think of our job as being a CIO, the article's ten points were excellent about achieving success with Google.
1. You have to play to figure out the rules
So many webmasters want to know "the best way" to do this or that - but there rarely is a one-size-fits-all answer. Many times, we simply need to play the game and see what happens, building up the real world knowledge of what is right for OUR situation as we go.
2. You succeed best when your site's unique contributions are recognized
Too much energy goes into being "like site X". Once you've got the basics of webmastering down, what's important is making your site's unique qualities obvious in the marketplace.
3. You can�t recover from a really bad start
Sometimes you do need to cut your losses and move on. That's just the reality of the world.
4. Different problems require different specialists
Running a website is a diverse project, and you simply cannot know everything required to make the right moves in every situation. Knowing when to bring in outside help or develop a new skill in-house is key.
5. Blowing something up isn't necessarily felt everywhere
If you want to make a major change in an established web business, you often need to think holistically, and realize that there are many factors to take into consideration. You can't just fiddle around without having some idea of how your entire web ecosystem will react to that fiddling - and that includes how it will look to Google.
6. Most improvements are incremental
Great breakthroughs in search traffic are rare. Mostly it's just putting one foot in front of the other, over and over again. Google even has safeguards that keep a site from exploding onto the scene too fast.
7. Just because you've mastered one task doesn't make you master of all
It's a natural pitfall because webmasters do need to have a lot of diverse skill. But sometimes you need a business plan tune-up, or a conversion optimization, or a usability assessment in order to reach the next level.
8. You can never do the same thing exactly the same way
And that means you can never do the exactly same thing that someone else did, either. Google moves on, each website exists in a unique larger web presence, and repeating the same patterns over and over will eventually smack you into a brick wall.
9. Some goals require more "birds"
Sometimes you can make successful changes to a website, only to discover that the business can't sustain the new level of success. It's not just Google that needs to focus on "does this scale." Webmasters who want major success need to look at that question in advance, too.
10. There is more than one way to win
Even in SEO this is true. There is more than one keyword or set of keywords that can tap into your audience. There is more than one way to get other sites to link to you. There is more than one way to structure a website. There is more than one way to write HTML, CSS, PHP. etc - even to achieve the same end.
I really appreciated this article on Macworld - as you can see it renewed my horizons, and I hope it renews yours.

Great post, it brings together some points I regularly make elsewhere, things that I knew but hadn't conceptualised and things that are new to me.
but there rarely is a one-size-fits-all answer
Again and again I post variants of the reply - "it depends on the subject matter of your site". (eg a musician will make a different use of social media to a widget retailer). But regularly we see the same dogmatic responses in forums.

Very useful post. Really sends you back to the basics.
A client recently got a nicely working site redone with an entirely different user approach and interactivity. The leads volume halved.
We went back to the old site in a hurry and are back to the old volume. Now experimenting incrementally.

You're right - I made an edit so future readers don't get tripped up. That point is one of those that gets well beyond SEO and into business management. But every SEO should appreciate that SEO doesn't exist in a vacuum, and that not only failures, but even great successes in SEO can pose business challenges.

You can recover from a really bad start, I have proof.
My first domain held a website that was awful in every sense. Horrible coding (I didn't know how yet), horrible SEO (had no clue about titles and descriptions) and horrible user experience (visitors didn't know where to find pages I didn't bother to interlink from, sheesh).
I gave up on the site, let it expire and continued doing what I was good at for others, proof-reading and writing. On a whim I tested an early google pagerank tool and entered my old domain name, it had jumped to PR3 AFTER it was inactive.
I bought the domain back from my old host that hadn't released it yet and proceeded to learn about every aspect of being a webmaster. Today it's my best site and I had to throw it away to realize it.
Without that bad start, and a hail marry google tool catch, I wouldn't be a webmaster today. I'd say recovery is possible under many impossible circumstances.

I agree with you - I was stretching a bit to make my post line up with the original article. You often can stay with the same domain that had a horrible start and still succeed - unless you really burned it badly with intense backlink manipulation. And even then, a new owner can sometimes still get a fresh start for the same domain.

They sound like life lessons that can be applied elsewhere too.
Most improvements are incremental
Everything is incremental, IMO. We build on what we have and learn.
I am not an expert in Chinese customs or history, but they have some great lessons.
The Chinese word for crisis is really two words: Danger and opportunity. The truth is that we don't usually see an opportunity unless there was a crisis. I think Panda was a wake-up call in many ways. It created a crisis for many, but we have to figure out where the opportunity is. It is out there. These crisis happen to everyone, not just webmasters and marketers.
Another Chinese story:
There was a father and son living on a farm. One day a wild horse came around and they caught it. That is a GOOD THING, right?
Well, the next day the son broke his leg while breaking in the horse. that is BAD THING, right?
Well, the next day the army came through recruiting the towns-people but the son could not join up because of his broken leg. Everyone was killed in a battle the next day.
Someone mentioned on another thread that they should create another domain and move their whole site over to it. Perhaps. But also consider getting another domain and creating a whole new site from scratch. Do something different. Hedge your bets.

We generally tend to apply incremental changes and get incremental improvements.
At times, we are forced to make drastic changes - these may crash us or make us incredibly successful. Desparate times call for desparate measures.

Comment: Re:There have been worse outages (Score 1) 133
Here (in upstate NY) Verizon runs the phone system - and they can't keep that thing running for 10 minutes it seems - if you can even get it (my appartment building is not wired for Verizon anything - phone or other). In my old place an hour away I had Verizon phone and DSL (don't get me started), that's where the phone kept going down. Cable is rock solid, and home cell service is a good backup (they even offer a home phone box that has a nice built in battery backup that can run for a few hours).
On a side note, I suspect you are deferring to "what seems to make sense" talking about "analog" phone service being simpler and easier to understand than the more complex VOIP systems, with their increased number of failure points due to the added complexity. This is insufficient thinking on a number of points, but mostly it indicates a tendency toward fundamental thinking, which can lead to all kinds of zealotry like Libertarianism, or other ideology. It's the outcome that matters, and I suspect that's different everything when it comes to phone service and other regionally deployed technologies.
There are plenty of places where the older, simpler analog systems are run by bigger dunderheads than comparatively more complex systems, and that has a much bigger impact on success and failure rates than some idea of how simple it works. Then there's the economics, the age of the equipment/industry, etc., etc.... Lot's of things matter more than what seems to make sense.

Southwest Airlines Celebrates 14 Days Of "LUV" With Daily Ticket Giveaways At The Southwest Rink At Skyline Park
DENVER, Feb. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Listen up, Denver—this is the last call to lace up your skates and take to the ice at the Southwest Rink at Skyline Park, which will stay open through Valentine's Day, Feb. 14, 2013. Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV) is showing its "LUV" for Denver once again by offering "14 Days of LUV"—giving away two roundtrip tickets today through Valentine's Day to skaters through a daily random drawing. Closing day festivities on Valentine's Day will include free skate rentals, a fun photo booth, a live DJ, and two roundtrip ticket giveaways.
"Every year we see more of our community getting involved in the amazing programming offered at the Southwest Rink," said Tami Door, President and CEO of the Downtown Denver Partnership. "The skating rink has provided countless opportunities for families, residents and employees to get outside, enjoy Downtown and create amazing memories. The support that Southwest Airlines has shown Denver is incredible, and they have offered so much to our center city and we are very grateful for that."
"Once again, the Southwest Rink at Skyline Park has been a fun way for us to engage in the community and participate in a beloved tradition in Downtown Denver," said Linda Rutherford, Southwest Airlines Vice President Communication and Strategic Outreach. "We're absolutely thrilled that more than 40,000 skaters have come out to the Southwest Rink at Skyline Park this year, and we hope even more Denverites will take to the ice these last two weeks and enter for their chance to win a trip on Southwest Airlines!"
The Southwest Rink at Skyline Park is open seven days a week and is located in Skyline Park next to the historic Daniels and Fisher Clocktower near the intersection of 16 th Street and Arapahoe and will remain open through Feb. 14, 2013 . Skating is free to the public with the option to bring skates or rent a pair for $2. Skaters can still enjoy the Friday night DJ, Saturday morning "Learn to Skate" sessions, Saturday night live entertainment, and Sunday family-focused fun. The Rink is made possible by a public-private partnership among the DDP, City of Denver Parks and Recreation Department, and Southwest Airlines. Visit www.southwestrink.com for more information. Southwest Airlines began service to Denver on Jan. 3, 2006, with 13 daily nonstop departures to three destinations.

- How to Read a Study Record
A lot of insulin-treated type 2 diabetic patients do not reach adequate glycemic control despite intensive basal-bolus insulin regimen. In such cases, continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII), using an external pump, could be a solution to improve diabetes control.
The aim of this study is to compare, over a one-year period, the efficacy of CSII (with aspart insulin) and basal-bolus multiple daily injections (MDI) treatment (with detemir x 2/d and aspart before meals) in type 2 diabetic patients, already treated by basal-bolus regimen for at least 6 months, who didn't reach adequate target for glycemic at baseline (HbA1c>7 -10%).

Perhaps I could write words as wonderful as these ones. Thanks.
Im left in the dark
in the corner of everbodys heart
where im pushed away to stay apart
and sit there like a poor little kid
without any reason to even live
and now i feel like im drifting away
with nobody left to play
i'd sit there on the lonely swing
only waiting to see what time would bring
i walk uneasily, unable to feel my limb
as i see that long road ahead to climb
for long
im thrown into unwanted songs
walking in the shadows that feel so wrong
grasping for air
and for somebody to care
glaring eyes all around
i dont see the path which needs to be followed
trampled roses
as all movement freezes
soft howling and screams
i'm afraid of this little old dream
all these secrets i do not know
whisphered lies even in dawn
lies, secrets, lies..
Lonely girl in deniles
Perhaps I could write words as wonderful as these ones. Thanks.

We have 10 draft picks. Four of those are comp picks that can't be traded. yes, we can trade the player after the draft but that doesn't happen much. We need to bring in young talent at certain positions. But, is there room for 10 rookies plus the UDFA's? We might trade up or trade down or both. When it's all over, how many players will we actually draft?
Wow! I didn't know the Pats had so many. I'm thinking around 7 players. 4 on defense and 3 on offense.
Who do we take in the first round? Last year you said that you picked Maroney before the draft. I was a Bobby Carpenter guy. Who do we take at 24? Do we trade up or down?
I selected 7 - if we didn't have to use the 4 compensatory picks I might even go lower. I expect a lot of trading up and down, and that BB will wind up parlaying some draft picks this year for improved position in next year's draft. That foresight will, I predict, be one of the prime items of discussion here on draft day
Before I answer let's take a step back and analyze last year's first round pick. Looks like the running backs in this years draft is weak, so my question is, would you have liked to see the Pats take a LB such as Carpenter or a RB like Maroney. The reason why I ask is because the LB's in this draft may be as deep as last year's and the running backs don't look as good except for Peterson and Lynch. Of course, I didn't know that the LB's would be pretty good in this draft and the running backs wouldn't be as good, so the Maroney pick makes the Pats look like they took a RB at the right time. I liked Maroney last year because Dillon lost a few steps, I thought the LB's would all be gone by the time the Pats made their pick and Maroney seemed like a can't miss prospect. Now, since the Pats took care of the offense in last year's draft, I like LB and DB in the first round. Would I trade up? Nothing dramatic, maybe a few spots to grab the player of choice. However, trading the 28th pick for a future 1st round pick would be a great move as well because the draft is deep which will result in many teams trying to trade up in the first round. I don't have a prediction just yet because it's still too early, but soon I will have one. Players that I do like are who could be available when the Pats pick: ILB Patrick Wills -In my opinion -I would be extatic if he falls to the Pats. would be the ideal choice. Very high character, smart, loves the game, but his workout times could have his stock skyrocket, could go as high as the Bills. S Reggie Nelson - He is all over the field, plays like Ed Reed, stock could be rising. LB Paul Posluszny - Had he not blown out his knee last year, would have been top rated LB ahead of A.J. Hawk in 2006 draft. DE/OLB Jarvis Moss - good pass rusher, disrupts every play, good size. I think some of the CB's are going to drop into the second round as well as the Safeties. If best available defensive player isn't there, this is who I like on offense that have a chance to be available when the Pats pick: WR Dwayne Bowe - I'll admit, I have never seen him play, but lots of people think he is a high character guy who loves to play the game, would be a nice addition. WR Robert Meachum - Has great hands, speed and a big target OT Joe Staley - *Surprise pick if available* his stock is rising because of his freak athletic ability. The Pats run blocking needs improvement, hopefully Staley is that guy.
I think the Patriots will use 8 draft picks. I don't think there is a particularly large market for the areas where the Patriots have most of their picks concentrated ie. day two. I also don't think the Patriots have any real ability to move up in the draft this year - if they move it may well be down first (into the 2nd) and then back up again gaining an extra mid round pick. Although under appreciated, TBC was a very low round pick and I think the Patriots would rather roll the dice on an extra low rounder than trade up for a player with a slightly better draft rating. Personally, I would rather they packaged as many of those low rounders as possible (the tradable ones) and moved up - but I just don't see it.
I would say now that we would have to see if we could deal with SF at #11. We could get their #11 & #79 for our 24 & 28. I wouldn't go any higher than that. We would end up with one special player to fill a big need, then get some solid players to fill other, less pressing needs.
I hope the Pats use all of their draft choices to draft players. Obviously, if a desired player can be obtained by trading up a little, the Pats will do so. We should remember that six of our choices are late fifth round and after. At this point in the draft things get quite iffy. None of these guys will be a lock on making the team. We might be better off getting a couple of cornerbacks, safeties, and linebackers and have them compete for three roster spots. The cut players could be put on the practice squad.

I was thinking about this question a lot. It is not just technical benefits, nicest choices of B&W papers, nicer grain that films give, and so on.
I think that Erwin Puts made it clear for me: it is state of mind. Knowing that you want to capture one moment - you have one chance, and you are willing to pay for this - in comparison that you can capture millions of moments for free and then delete it for free, and make it again: this makes critical difference in state of mind - and by this makes different final results.
"The idea that you can take digital pictures with the mentality and approach of the filmbased style of photography is as grotesk as trying to drive a modern racing car with the mental state of handling a steam engine."
