I just thought this would be fun. There are countless things that I have done at Disneyland, both as a guest and as a CM. But there is a list, a small one but a list, of things I would have loved to do but obviously couldn't. Topping that list is taking a water balloon launcher and a bunch of water balloons and just letting loose. To describe "launcher" think of it as a giant slingshot that requires a person on either side to hold it, and a person to basically sit down or lay down and aim/launch it. The original thought was that it would be fun to get the two tallest Skips on Jungle, and the shortest Skip, go up to the second level evac (the part that you walk under when you exit) and start launching water balloons into Aladdin's Oasis. Then I thought... needs to be better... so I picked the Colombia. I know it is a sailing ship, not a pirate ship... so I would likely take advantage of it's island views to unleash a barrage on those unwanted pirates on the island. Watch them try to sing and dance when there are water balloons falling everywhere around them. The final thought would be to go up on the Main Street Train Station and have a competition to see just how far down Main Street you could launch a water balloon!
As I said never going to happen but it was a fun thought. So now I am curious, what other MC's would love to do if they actually could. Please keep it clean, try not to get it Litter Box'd. Thank You.

Low Oil Prices Are an Act of Economic Warfare: Veteran Investor Bob Moriarty
Source: Karen Roche, The Energy Report (2/12/15)
This is a wonderful time to have cash and be in the oil business, according to Bob Moriarty of 321energy.com. That's because savvy juniors can go shopping for assets being sold as "uneconomic" when oil is $40–50/barrel. But the low price won't last, he tells The Energy Report, predicting much higher oil within the year. And while that increase will cause oil stocks to rise in tandem, Moriarty reminds investors that it still pays to be selective. More >

Stylist Daniel Hawkins is doing the dern thing with Ms. Laura Govan!
The basketball wife took a pic for Instagram in a black Balmain crop top and pleated skirt from BCBG, topped off my Christian Louboutin pumps.
Her skirt is fashioned out of faux leather.
Can't really see her shoes, but they look like they might be these Artistic Python stunners by the renowned Parisian shoe designer.
I love a good crop top and midi skirt combo.
This works!
What do you think?
Sidenote, does everyone in LA have a crazy toned/ripped body?
"Sidenote, does everyone in LA have a crazy toned/ripped body?"
Either that or a great surgeon on speed dial!
I like the outfit but those shoes do not belong.
she looks good—she got her money's worth from her surgeon !
I LOVE the look but I'm just happy she's more covered up for a change!
She looks stuck and I think it's airbrush abs
Those abs though?! I think she looks great! I was gonna buy that skirt, still might. I don't care whether is airbrushed, nip tuck or hard work. She rocks it well!
Though lots of ppl are doing this style, u'd think it will be easy to pull off
Laura fails, looking more manly and trying too hard
Does not not effortless
She looks great!!
This look is very forgettable on her. Somethin is off…
Finally covered up… but she still looks off IMO
That shirt/crop top is bothering me!! It doesn't look like it's supposed to be a crop top. It looks like she tucked it under herself.
Ummmm why does she have a stylist though?…..Why? I hope she's saving up the majority of those checks. Who knows when Mr. Man will have the urge to live alone again? If he does she can just buy her own large home. IJS
she looks really nice.. makeup and hair on point too
LOL @ MsNomer but so true. I have never seen her look this fab since having him as her stylist. His eye for fashion and what looks good on her is IMPECCABLE!!! I wish I had him on speed dial.
Somebody went to the right guy!!
I like each piece separately
I don't care what anyone says, she looks amazing here. Although I do question the company she keeps. Not sure why she would be photographed with a man that disrespected the hell outta her sister but whatever.

Monochrome means one color.
Typically one color is presented in different values and intensities — or different shades of the single color.
Monochrome is a phrase often associated with older computer system monitors. Monitors, for example, can be monochrome, grayscale or color. Monochrome monitors actually use two colors, one for the display image (the foreground) and one for the background.
Graphic and digital images can also be monochrome, grayscale, or color. In photography a monochromatic image is usually in the form of a black and white photograph, which can be produced using black and white film or by removing colors in post-production.

I'm playing with an open source brewing calculator tool and am thinking about improving the system that estimates the final gravity for a particular recipe. Currently the system uses an attenuation percentage entered by the user to make the calculation but I have seen other systems that make this estimate themselves.
My understanding is that the important factors in this calculation are the specific grains used in the recipe, in particular the speciality grains that contain unfermentable sugars. In addition there are some mash related factors (durations and temperatures) but these are much harder to calculate.
I'm having difficulty finding both examples of how this calculation could be done and the specific data on unfermentable components of malt types.
Can anyone give me some pointers so I have some idea what to do?
-Base malts => Fermantability limited by the yeast attenuation
-Lactose & Dextrins => 0% fermentable
-Crystal malt => ?, reason why I'm conducting the following experimenthttp://www.homebrewtalk.com/f128/tes...l-malt-208361/
-Attenuation variation with mashing temp = check my post athttp://beertech.blogspot.com/2009/12...ing-final.html
Hope this help
I guess you could start by going to the maltsters' websites where they typically give dry basis FG HWE numbers for their products. Home brewers never get near this so you would have to allow the user to dial in his anticipated efficiency and then apply a second multiplier to that running linearly from 1.0 at say, 142 °F to say 0.8 at 160 °F (I'm guessing wildly here - maybe it's not even linear) to account for saccharification temperature. There's a large uncertainty from the yeast most of which are specified at something like 70 - 78% attenuation but you would have to give the user the opportunity to put that in.
This is one of those things that can easily get over modeled - precise calculations made based on inaccurate inputs are inaccurate (but precisely so). It would seem simpler to just let the guy measure his OG, specify an attenuation or perhaps an attenuation range and calculate FG and estimated alcohol (why else would he care about FG) or a range by which I mean if you let him put in yeast suppliers estimated attenuation range (e.g. 70 - 80%) you might want to display the corresponding FG (e.g. 4 - 3 P) and ABV ( e.g. 4.8 - 5.2%). All numbers just pulled out of the air for illustration.
I don't want to poop in your cheerios, but FG calculations are just guesses at best. There is way too much that factors into it for brewing software to give you a number to shoot for.
I mean, if you want to go for it, then go for it, but this could end up as a rat hole.

According a press release issued by Nintendo this morning, sales of Super Mario Galaxy 2 have crossed the 1 million mark in North America.
Also in June, Nintendo systems sold a combined 933,000 units, accounting for 50 percent of all gaming hardware units sold in the US. The Nintendo DS family systems topped the charts with more than 510,000 handhelds sold, bringing life-to-date unit sales to nearly 42 million.
Wii system sales totaled more than 422,000, closing in on a cumulative milestone of 30 million units sold in the US alone.
"Consumers continue to look to Nintendo for exceptional value and one-of-a-kind gaming experiences. Between games like Super Mario Galaxy 2, the pioneering motion controls of the Wii system and the portable fun of Nintendo DS systems, Nintendo offers something for everyone. As we prepare to launch a remarkable lineup of new games in the second half of the year, we are grateful that consumers are supporting Nintendo consoles to continue their run as the nation?s most popular game systems."

X360slim had its impact that will phaze away just like ps3 slim did, ps3 remains in 3rd place where it belongs. Wii remains the most stable and DS just keeps on kicking ass, to think by years end we could have DS, DSi, 3DS and Wii vs ps3 x360 and the dead psp is funny in itself. These huge games coming to Wii, some of witch could be system sellers, like donkey kong, zelda and metroid, kirby's epic yarn also could do very well. I think the must have 3DS will eat into kinect and move sales. Sony are in a hard place right now.

Have to disagree with you...
Like many planks of the liberty platform, the open border policy is at least highly inconvenient if not entirely untenable on a stand-alone basis if incorporated into our current societal framework. If you have a state that takes from some by force to give to others, then you should probably limit immigration as narrowly as possible to ensure that you are not merely attracting more recipients (ultimately, such an authoritarian state may have to limit emigration as well to prevent the exodus of net producers... another argument against closed borders). Moreover, if you engage in perpetual warfare and mass killing throughout the world, you would have to protect against the immigration of people who have been so radicalized that they only recourse they can seek is to enter the "belly of the beast" and bring about the greatest number of casualties possible.
On the other hand, if people were truly free and there were no magnets to attract those who seek to better lot, you would still allow the free flow of all of those who seek to better their lot by meeting the opportunities abounding in a free state with their willing to work.
Unlearning and self-teaching since 2008. Thanks, Dr. Paul!

Is "The Scariest Jobs Chart Ever" Really That Scary? 0 commentsOct 7, 2011 12:33 PMFor the past couple of years "The Scariest Jobs Chart Ever," has been frightening traders every month it's been updated. Below is today's update:It's important to note that the chart was actually created by Calculated Risk, a fantastic blog focused on finance and economic data. They didn't, however, give its famous moniker. It was dubbed "The Scariest Jobs Chart Ever" by Business Insider who, through the sensationalized headline and power of their following, is probably responsible for its popularity.Another interesting fact to note is that this chart marks the percent of job losses since thestart of the recession. Indeed, we lost a huge number of jobs during the "Great Recession." But if we look at the percentage change in the number of jobs since the end of the recession, as ChartoftheDay.com does today, it tells is slightly different story:In fact, while it's still historically weak, job growth over the past two years has been better than the recovery after the prior recession (2001). And from the looks of it, I would wager it's been better than the post-recession period prior to that one, as well (1990).This doesn't change the fact that the "Great Recession" was a jobs killer like few the country's ever seen but, to be fair, job growth since then has been, relative to recent history, pretty damn good. But that won't help Business Insider boost their pageviews so don't expect to hear it from them.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

No. Just some parts wake up faster than others.
Broke parts take a little longer, though.
From Electric Horseman (1979)
I have done IMS 100 & 200 and NIMS 700. I did 100 in Fire I class and then IMS 200 in town training a year later. I did the NIMS online after a 2 hour town training session. In New Jersey all firefighters and EMS must have NIMS 700 by the end of 2006 I believe. They are also pressing it on DPW and town managers.
Personally I think it was a waste of my time considering IMS 100 & 200 is just about the same thing NIMS 700 is. It's just a managment scheme, though I agree it is a good one, but noone really knows how to use it most effectively. And honestly when you're on a small or medium scale scene you don't even use NIMS it's really there for when you have to interact with State or Federal level OEM officials.
Earlier this year, every single County employee (1400+) at my jurisdiction had to take 100 and 700. Some went to classes, but most of us took them online.
thanks for the reminder - I'm supposed to go online and go up to 700 before September, I think?
How many planners are their City/Town's Public Information Officers?
LAW-Ree has been through the training and she brags about it to me all the time.

I don't care about dark souls but I do agree that the difficulty system needs to be re worked.

Instead of seeing trolls at level 15, you start seeing them closer at level 10 (I've never paid attention to when they actually appear, that's just a rough guesstimate)
You can fight Frost Trolls as well Dragur Deathlords at level 1.
Just go to Labyrinthian...
And to TC, if you want an actual challenge try waiting until the patch 1.9 comes out then start a brand new character and do a NO health potion run on Legendary Difficulty.
Also, don't level past 50 and either use only one or NO crafting skills whatsoever.
Well i'd love to see a system that allows me to set enemy damage output and player damage/enemy resistance&health separately ...
... the point is i'd like enemies to deal damage like they do on master ... but their health just makes stuff too tedious, i'm not a big fan of difficulty based on increased enemy health tbh.

- Tim Holtz's Alterations Bird in Cage Bigz
- Staz On ink in black
- Background stamp
- Shrink film
- Sizzix embossing folder
- Chalk ink
- Swarovski stones
- Paint
- Threaded eye pins
- I picked Tim Holtz's Alterations Bird in Cage Bigz die for this project. For the sake of economy, I trimmed the shrink film to fit on the bird and wing parts of the die only since I was not quite sure how the intricate cage shape would respond to the whole heat process.
- I decided to cut off the bottom part of the die and use the bird shape sans the legs and branch.
- The package says to sand one side of the film if coloring by hand or rubber stamping with 300-400 grit paper. I chose an intricate background stamp and used Staz On ink in black. I inked the wing solid black to contrast with the scroll-look bird.
- Shrink film is easy enough to use. For charms, make sure you punch or pierce your hole first. There simply will be no doing so afterward. Be sure to use a punch large enough as the hole will shrink along with the film and images. It only takes a couple of minutes to shrink so don't go too far while its baking. Don't be alarmed if the whole thing completely curls up, it will straighten right back out. Here is the actual size of the die compared to the shrunk version...
- I popped the bird and wing stacked together in place to heat fuse together right in the oven. I decided also to place them on a painted and distressed wood circle since the dies turned out so teensy.
- For the flowers, I used a layered flower die and embossed with a Sizzix embossing folder for some added texture. I used chalk ink to color, going with an olive and black color scheme.
- I lightly painted the edges to look more vintage and added some Swarovski stones centers along with some threaded eye pins. I can't wait to do more with shrink film! It's really cool to work with...It also comes in ink jet friendly sheets so I am eager to try printing photos on it!

Conway Voters Approve Budgets, Defeat Caps
For planning board, Kevin Flanagan and Martha Tobin were re-elected to three-year terms with both having a better than 300-vote margin over Steven Steiner.
In balloting for the school board, John Skelton and Janine McLauchlan were re-elected but Rick Breton was not. Challenger Michelle Capozzoli received 940 votes, the highest among the four candidates.
On the town ballot, voters adopted an operating budget of $10,189,547 by an almost three-to-one margin and by an equally significant margin they defeated a proposal to implement a 10 percent cap on how much the amount to be raised by taxes can increase annually.
In an effort to make it unpalatable to voters Tuesday, the town tax cap article was amended during last month's deliberative session, from its original 2.5 percent increase to 10 percent, which is the maximum that voters, by law, can increase a budget proposed by a municipal budget committee at Town Meeting.
The 2.5 percent language survived the school district deliberative session intact but not the will of voters yesterday, when only 46.6 percent felt it should be adopted. Both the town cap, which received 32 percent of votes cast, as well as the school-district cap, needed 60 percent to pass.
Also on the school ballot, voters adopted a $33,848,895 operating budget in addition to collective bargaining agreements between the school board and the Conway Education Association; the Conway Educational Support Personnel; and American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.

US consulate attack in Libya: unrepentant film-maker goes into hiding
Posted By admin On September 12, 2012 @ 7:37 am In Tile,World News | Comments Disabled
Alex Spillius
London Telegraph [1]
Wednesday, September 12, 2012
The man behind the video that sparked deadly protests in Libya goes by the name of Sam Bacile, and describes himself as a property developer.
Appearing to have no discernible track record in film, religion or politics, Bacile identifies himself as an Israeli Jew and said he produced, directed and wrote the two-hour film, "Innocence of Muslims".
Speaking by telephone to the Associated Press from an undisclosed location, Bacile, who went into hiding on Tuesday, remained defiant, saying Islam is a "cancer" and that he intended his film to be a provocative political statement condemning the religion.
"Islam is a cancer, period," he repeatedly said, claiming the film cost £3.3 million to make and was financed with the help of more than 100 Jewish donors.

Philadelphia, PALyme disease is a common tick-borne illness caused by a bacterium, which is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected ticks. The transmission dynamics of Lyme disease is dependent on a variety of factors, including the length of the tick's life cycle, availability of hosts, climatic conditions and seasonal influences, which are important to understand for control strategies.
In a paper published last month in the SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, authors Yuxiang Zhang and Xiao-Qiang Zhao propose a reaction-diffusion model to study transmission dynamics of Lyme disease while taking into account seasonality.
Ticks live for roughly 2 years, and their life cycle includes three stages: larva, nymph and adult. Ticks climb on to host animals who brush against vegetation from the tips of grasses and shrubs. Once they attach themselves, they feed on blood by inserting their mouthparts into the skin of a host, thus transmitting the disease. After obtaining a blood mealwhich can take anywhere between 3 and 5 daysticks drop off their hosts and prepare for the next stage of the life cycle.
Adult ticks feed and mate on larger mammals such as deer. After obtaining their meal, adult females drop off their hosts and lay eggs on the ground. The eggs hatch into larvae, and larval ticks feed on smaller animals such as mice and birds. After obtaining a blood meal from these smaller hosts, larvae drop off and are inactive until they grow into nymphs. Nymphs feed on small rodents, birds and other small mammals, and then molt into adults. The cycle thus repeats itself.
For Lyme disease to exist in an area, the bacteria that cause it, the ticks that carry the bacteria, and mammals that provide food to ticks in their various life stages must be present. Seasonal variations in temperature, rainfall and resource availability also affect disease transmission and dynamics.
"Ticks develop slowly or become les

The Common Core drama continues in Florida: after much coquetry, the Sunshine State has officially opted to abandon PARCC in favor of commissioning a new exam aligned to its new (Common Core-heavy) state standards. The contract went to American Institutes for Research (AIR), beating out overtures from the likes of ACT, Pearson, and McGraw-Hill. We're all for a competitive assessment marketplace, but we're also skeptical that anyone but PARCC and Smarter Balanced has had the time and resources to develop a truly Common Core-aligned test.
In an amendment to the state's education budget, Wyoming became the first state to officially block adoption of the Next Generation Science Standards—ostensibly because the NGSS teach climate change. In our state-by-state analysis of the NGSS, we found that these new "national" standards for science are not superior to enough states' existing science standards to warrant full-throated support. However, they are certainly of higher quality than Wyoming's existing science standards. The Cowboy State is shooting itself in the foot. (If they don't like NGSS, they should Xerox California's or D.C.'s science standards.)...
It's an article of faith in the school-reform community that we should be striving to prepare all students for success in college—if not a four-year degree, then some other recognized and reputable post-secondary credential. The rationale is clear and generally compelling; as a recent Pew study reiterated, people who graduate from college earn significantly more than those who do not. Other research indicates that low-income students in particular benefit from college completion, becoming nearly three times more likely to make it into the middle class than their peers who earn some (or no) college credits. And it's not just about money: College graduates are also healthier, more involved in their communities, and happier in their jobs.
Thus, in the reformers' bible, the greatest sin is to look a student in the eye and say, "Kid, I'm sorry, but you're just not college material."
But what if such a cautionary sermon is exactly what some teenagers need? What if encouraging students to take a shot at the college track—despite very long odds of crossing its finish line—does them more harm than good? What if our own hyper-credentialed life experiences and ideologies are blinding us to alternative pathways to the middle class—including some that might be a lot more viable for a great many young people? What if we should be following the lead of countries like Germany and Singapore, where "tracking" isn't a dirty word but a common-sense way to prepare teenagers...
Mike and Brickman consider whether "college for all" is the right goal, whether a competitive assessment marketplace will be good for Common Core implementation in the long run, and whether Wyoming is better off without the Next Generation Science Standards. Amber drops a line about online learning.
"The Relative Benefits of Live versus Online Delivery: Evidence from Virtual Algebra I in North Carolina," by Jennifer Heissel, Working Paper, Association for Education Finance and Policy. (Please email us for the link: email@example.com.)
In recent years, pre-Kindergarten has become a rather popular idea among policymakers and the public. The latest cases in point include the Columbus mayor's announcement of a new $5 million initiative to provide quality pre-K. Meanwhile, just last week, Cleveland-area entities announced a massive $35 million, two-year plan to expand access to quality pre-K. Yet, as Ohio's policymakers enthusiastically tout pre-K, they should understand that it isn't necessarily an educational slam dunk. Consider Grover "Russ" Whitehurst's excellent summary of the research.[1] Whitehurst analyzes thirteen pre-K studies from the 1960s to the present, grading the quality of the research and reporting the impact of the program. Whitehurst begins with a look at two widely cited studies from the 1960s and 1970s, Perry Preschool and Abecedarian, both of which found positive, long-term impacts for participants. So far so good, but Whitehurst reminds us that Perry and Abecedarian studies were evaluations of small single-site programs. (Perry, for example, had just fifty-eight participants.) This limits the ability to infer that large-scale pre-K programs would confer similar benefits. As he moves into studies from recent years, Whitehurst reports less positive findings on large-scale pre-K programs. In his view, the two strongest pre-K studies have been the Head Start and the Tennessee Voluntary Pre-K program evaluations. The Head Start evaluation found no effect of pre-K, while in Tennessee there was evidence of slightly negative effects on child outcomes. To conclude, Whitehurst writes, "[The] best available evidence raises serious doubts...
Breakthrough Schools' head honcho Alan Rosskamm testified before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce in Washington, D.C. last week. The hearing was titled "Raising the Bar: The Role of Charter Schools in K–12 Education," and Rosskamm knows a thing or two about doing just that.
Vocational education is also in the news:
Here are some of the best edu-reads I've come across recently.
Think the teacher-pension issue is only for green-eyeshade types? Think again! My colleagues at Bellwether, Chad Aldeman and Andy Rotherham, have written an informative—and worrisome—report on the current state of play of educator retirement benefits and its implications for the profession and taxpayers. Get this: about half of all public schoolteachers won't qualify for even a minimal pension. How in the world is that possible? Read the report.
You may also think that "school productivity"—how to get the biggest bang for our education buck—is only for accountants and actuaries. But Paul Hill has written a very good piece for the George W. Bush Institute on how smart governance changes can both make the most of our scarce resources and improve student learning. The report isn't spreadsheets and pivot tables; it's an interesting argument for changes in mindset, policy, and practice.
The always-excellent Center for Reinventing Public Education has produced a terrific short white paper on common enrollment systems, namely how to facilitate choice across a city with multiple school sectors. The brief describes how such systems are working in Denver and New Orleans, including the tough issues such systems have to address and how well they ultimately match students to their most preferred schools. I believe the march toward sector agnosticism is inexorable. A common enrollment system is almost certainly part of the urban school system of the future, so if you track K–12 developments...
Research has repeatedly found that being a firstborn can come with advantages—they tend to be natural leaders, have higher IQ's, and are often chosen to portray James Bond. They also perform better in school. This new NBER study sheds light on why this is so, testing the conventional wisdom that earlier-born siblings put more effort in school and perform better than their later-born siblings partly because their parents are more strict with them. Using the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (which includes data from parent surveys), they track outcomes for children as they transition between the ages of 10 and 14. Three key findings: First, there is a clear association between school performance and birth order. For example, 34 percent of firstborns are viewed by their mothers as "one of the best in the class," versus 27 percent of those coming fourth in birth order. Likewise, just 7 percent of firstborns are considered below the middle or at the bottom of the class, compared to 11 percent of fourth-borns. (The analysts use GPAs on school transcripts to validate the moms' self-reported data regarding how their children perform in school.) Early birth order is also associated with higher scores on standardized math and reading tests. Second, parents regulate earlier-born siblings' television-viewing and homework-completing behaviors more intensely. Third, the more younger siblings a child has, the more likely are his parents to closely supervise him in the event that he brings home low performance on...
Perhaps New York mayor Bill de Blasio is starting to see that attacking charter schools is a better Democratic-primary strategy than governing philosophy. This turn of events can be illustrated by his appearance earlier this week on MSNBC's Morning Joe show, where he encountered a surprisingly sharp round of questioning from the roundtable of (left-leaning) hosts on the matter. The New York Times notes that de Blasio is softening his rhetoric and reaching out to charter groups "more sympathetic" to his administration. With his approval rating already down to 39 percent—just ten weeks after taking office—here's hoping Hizzoner will stop antagonizing charter schools altogether.
The Kansas Supreme Court ruled on an important school funding case this week, finding that the state's legislature does, in fact, have the authority to make budgetary decisions—but that it also must maintain an educational system that meets constitutional requirements. In Education Next, Eric Hanushek contends that the court got it right. Unlike previous rulings in the state, the court indicated that the "total spending is not the touchstone for determining adequacy"; rather, the skills of students ought to be so.
In a new Huffington Post article, Diane Ravitch argues that the "reform" narrative is a fraud: NAEP scores and graduation rates are at their highest point in history for both whites and minorities, the dropout rate is at a historic low, and so on. But in this week's Education Gadfly Show podcast, Mike Petrilli looks at the...
The SXSWedu portion of the famously cool SXSW festival is the oddball segment, as evidenced by the early start and the attendees actually wearing suits. Besides the un-SXSW vibe of SXSWedu, there were a ton of takeaways for policy wonks. Here are four key ones:

Great fit good quality the only thing I wasn't impressed on was the color. A hard wood real tree print is suppose to be more of a brownish color the cover I got is really green and doesn't match the rest of my realtree on my truck. But kept it anyways good price. Didn't sent back because didn't want to wait for the right color if they even had it. All in all great product.
