The units will produce methyl tert-butyl ether and halobutyl rubber. They will form part of a multi billion-dollar elastomers project, which will have a combined capacity of 400,000 m.t./year and produce carbon black, as well as rubber and themoplastic specialty polymers such as ethylene propylene diene monomer, thermoplastic olefins...

HARTLAND STATUESHartland produced it's first baseball statues back in the early 60's. Sports Collectibles Digest stated that the 1960's Mickey Mantle Hartland is the single most popular plastic sports statue ever produced ! In 1988 Hartland created their 25th Anniversary Editions which, except for some very minor details, were identical to the original.Hartland partnered with America's leading hobby-periodical publisher, Krause Publications, to create the SCD Authentic series offering the original 18 as you've never seen them with each statue dramatically different from prior releases. They are amazingly beautiful and exquisitely detailed in their road uniforms with painted pinstripes and wood grained bats making them a unique collectible opportunity for both veteran collectors and Hartland newcomers alike. Limited to only 2,500 pieces each, these statues are BRAND NEW, MINT and in THEIR ORIGINAL BOXES !!!

1964 Topps Stand-UpsTopps most popular 1960's test issue !!!Blank-backed and unnumbered, these standard size cards were called "Stand-Ups". "Stand-Ups" refers to a type of card that was die cut around the player's picture. The background section then could be folded in half, so the card could stand up by itself while the player's picture stood alone. Directions for folding are on the background and when folded only the green background remains. 1934-36 Batter Up and the 1951 Topps All-Star sets are 2 other popular standup issues. Thanks to the green and yellow borders and the likelihood that most cards have been heavily folded, 1964 Stand-Ups are extremely difficult to obtain in top grades. The 77 card set features color photographs of the player on yellow and green backgrounds. 22 of the 77 cards were single printed making them twice as scarce and much higher in demand. The set is packed with Hall-of-Famers including MICKEY MANTLE, Willie Mays, Sandy Koufax, Roberto Clemente, Carl Yastrzemski, Al Kaline, Brooks Robinson, Don Drysdale, Ernie Banks, Hank Aaron, Willie McCovey and more !!!

One of the wind farm proposals for the Glass Mountains and Benton area was withdrawn last week on July 5, according to Bureau of Land Management officials. EWind Farms Inc. withdrew their wind energy monitoring and project area (24,000 acre) proposal as of July 5, Larry Primosch, the agency's realty specialist, wrote in an email. The agency held a field trip to the proposed wind energy sites this weekend and two public meetings are still scheduled to occur this week.
Outdoor education director for the Valentine Reserve Leslie Dawson said there is still room on the wildflower walk this Wednesday and Friday (July 13 and 15) and on the Forest talk on Thursday, July 14 and on the history talk on July 16.
The Black Bear talk on Tuesday, July 13 is completely full, she said.
Here's more details.

I am trying to teach Fido baseball.
He's doing pretty well since April, but he's got a ways to go.
There is no set way to teach a dog baseball. For that matter, there's no set way to teach a human, either. It's an acquired thing, based on repetition.
"Wanna learn baseball?" I says to Fido as the season began. Snow was falling outside.
Fido says,"Hey Hey Hey Hey!"
So we began.
On the very first day of the very first week of the Mammoth Lakes Police Department, 24-year-old Tim Smalley signed up.
It was 1986. Mammoth had just incorporated. It was a brand new job in a brand new town. He's still here. "The first five days were good," he said. "We just drove around town to get the lay of the land. We just checked it out."
There's nothing quite like an afternoon of Chihuahua races at the Village.
The crowd begins to pulse about an hour before the heats begin. Big men, such as Alpine Garage's Mike Fiebigger, hold their tiny dogs close. His wife, Karen, was alongside. In the Fiebigers' case, this was an unusual hairless Chihuahua, named Klein.
"He's like a Billy Idol," said Fiebiger. (There are three more Chihuahuas in the Fiebiger clan, named Juicy, Dolce and Lelo, but that's beside the point.)
Tom Shepard, holding the appropriately named Smidgen, strolled by, showing off.
The cop shop won't ever be the same.
Sergeant Karen Smart, on the Mammoth Lakes Police Department force for 25 years, said earlier this week she will retire so that the department can save a job for one of the younger officers.
"My time is done," she said in a poignant interview early this week. "The younger guys are the future of the department and the future of the town."
Now that the Fourth of July is over, at least one town councilman is already looking at the next Fourth of July.
Time is short. Matthew Lehman has only a year to figure out what the holiday should look like.
At Wednesday's Town Council meeting, Lehman floated the idea of moving the center of attention to the Village rather than Crowley Lake.
He said he knows he'll hear gasps all over town. "My primary goal is to help the business community," he said.
"Instead of being one of the worst nights of the year in Mammoth, I'd like it to be one of the best."
Several long-time Eastside residents were the first to respond to the news that a Mexican sport fishing boat, the Erik, with 26 American citizens on board, had capsized off the eastern coast of Baja Mexico on July 3, dumping all 43 passengers into the sea in the midst of a raging storm.
Doug and Peggy Magee have owned a home in Baja for 25 years and have lived there permanently for the past ten. Gloria and Ed Vasquez own a home close to the Magee's.
Mammoth Mountain picked up a nice mention on NBC Nightly News a week ago. The bit was about our late ski season, narrated by anchor Kate Snow. …
It's true! Tony and Cindy Avena, stalwarts in Mammoth for 30 years, have put the venrable Slocum's up for sale. …
We're sure going to miss Jon Eisert, the estimable Ski Surgeon, who folded up shop Tuesday at 12:59:59 p.m. and is on his way to Paso Robles. For good. "Some decisions are made for you," he said. "It's time." Memories? "Back in the day, our dirtbags were better than the current dirtbags." …
Heavy rain and warm temperatures could mean serious flooding throughout Mono County tonight, according to the National Weather Service. The weather is supposed to dry out after Friday, with warm dry conditions predicted for the weekend. Go to this site for detailed information: http://1.usa.gov/n6r2Iy
Long ago, thousands of Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep roamed the high Sierra, scattered along the crest of the range from Olancha Peak and all the way north to the Lee Vining Canyon area.
Agile, swift, secretive, this unique species of bighorn is only found in one place in the world: the Sierra Nevada; The vast majority of them roam on the Eastern Sierra side of the range. They seldom descend below 4,000 feet, spending most of their lives on the knife-edged, wind-swept peaks and ridges, where they find comparative safety from predators.
"Don't go in the water. Don't get anywhere near the water."
That's the advice of everyone from Mammoth Lakes Police to county sheriff's deputies to US Forest Service rangers this week, as hot summer temperatures finally hit the massive snowpack still suspended above Mammoth.
"You can feel the vibration when you are just standing near the river, there is so much water right now," said Inyo National Forest spokesman Mike Johnson Thursday. "There are just torrents of water coming down. Whatever you do, don't go in the water. It's just very dangerous."
Reds Meadow and Devils Postpile Roads opened Wednesday and the shuttle buses are running. Yeah! But there's a lot of water down there, and the Middle Fork of the San Joaquin River is flooding. Plus, a lot of trails are damaged or under water. So, be careful, be very, very careful. ...
A 65-year-old Placerville woman died June 23 after trying to lead her horse across a snow bridge in the Cottonwood Lakes Wilderness area southwest of Lone Pine.
Deborah Behrendt died after a snow bridge gave way as she was trying to lead her horse across it, according to the Inyo County Sheriff's Department. A snow bridge forms across streams or small rivulets durign spring runoff conditions and is hollow underneath a covering of snow. Behrendt's horse reacted when the bridge gave way, causing the horse behind her horse to rear up and come down on Behrendt's chest.
Mono Basin Historical Society Vice President David Dore will be coordinating a work party to repair the roof of the Upside Down House, wall of the Old Schoolhouse, and hopefully the handicapped access ramp if time, labor and materials allow this Thursday, June 30.
Meet at the Museum at 9:00 a.m. if you can help. Dore hopes to have a good turnout to accomplish the repairs.
Please direct questions to Dave, 760-647-1055.

Hanyu and Dai both proved their 3A and skating skills in competitions too and yet they put ultra elements in exhibition programs. There were more than one world champions who didn't take a rest even at gala. That's what the true champion is for.
As well as nobody can change the fact that he got booed by an international audience. The first and up to now the only World Champion in FS who got booed. Guiness record. That matters. At least it should.Patrick is the 2012 ISU World Champion, no one can change this fact.
Because he lost seriousliy in BV to both Hanyu and Dai, so PCS should have done the work- to grant him a gold medal. And don't forget the corridor for judges that Lakernik talked about.
I seriously doubt it will happen so soon. Dai is not just a king on the throne. He is an adored brand on the Japanese market. And you can't simply throw cash bringer easily. Hanyu is definitely loved here and will be promoted by J-federation simply because there don't have a megastar to substitue Mao, the second brand, when she retires, presumably after Sochi. So, they do need another megastar beause Dai will retire too after 2014. Hanyu is the best choice possible. But until the brand Dai is on the market, he will stick with the Crown Prince title.
In Business terms, Daisuke is the cash cow while Hanyu is the star of the JFS.
Let's Talk, You are entitled to your opinion, so I won't argue with you any more. Patrick is the champion, that's what I care.
NMURA, your vision of figure skating politics in Japan fascinates me. A couple of questions.
1. Why is it important to the judges/ISU to get Canada the third spot for men? I mean, the third man in Canada (Ten/Rogozine/Balde) will placed behind the what, 13th man in the USA (Dornbush vs Ten at 4CC)? And if it wasn't important to get Canada the third spot for men's at the Olympics (recalling that Chan and Chipeur were 2nd and 12th respectively, just one point shy), why is it important now for Worlds?
2. While Hanyu's jump from 7th to 3rd is certainly remarkable, wouldn't the fact that he was 7th in the SP be cause for concern? Hanyu had a flawed short program at Japanese Nationals as well. Why would the judges annoint someone who isn't even guaranteed to make the final group as Chan's main rival?
3. I, too, am fascinated by who gets NHK (and the other GPs in all disciplines) next season.
4. Blades, do you think this was Dai at his expressive best? Because I actually thought he was a little more focused throughout the program on nailing all the elements.
It's important to Canada to have as many Canadians as possible qualified for Worlds next year in London, Ontario.
So if we are going to construct a conspiracy theory, this would be the theory:He was elected the Vice President for figure skating at the 2002 ISU Congress and was re-elected in 2006.[6][7] He has become known as a strong supporter of Ottavio Cinquanta's policies, such as the adoption of the ISU Judging System and keeping the identity of figure skating judges secret.
David Dore, former head of Skate Canada, is an ISU bigwig, and considered next in line to Speedy.
So what Dore wants, and what Canada wants, they might well be likely to get these days, provided it doesn't interfere with what Speedy/ Italy wants, of course.
A true figure skating champion in my mind is one who demonstrates exceptional techniques and artistry in the competitive program. Chan's jumps were great in the competition, and so was his artistry in the gala, but he didn't show us together in the competitive program like Dai did.
For me, Takahashi's FS was boring. Why? It seems as though he has a limited repertoire of style and his programs all look same-ish, from facial expression, gesture to his costumes, even the color is almost always predominantly black in the last few years. Obviously, many don't agree with this take because some even find his skate to be "orgasmic" which defies my comprehension but maybe that's just me. Chan didn't skate very well either and it is true he was tense in his FS, despite landing most of his jumps. Other than the botched 2A being sensationalized and blown out of proportion, it's real stretch to suggest he skated particularly poorly when he only had one other minor error besides that and no one in top 10 skated clean based on the number of negative GOE and deduction for falling each skater received. Setting aside whose program is more "interesting or boring", which is inherently subjective, it shouldn't be a surprise that Chan who beat Takahashi by 30 points just a month ago at 4CC can still beat Takahashi by 6 points given a closer contest, without rehearsing every single point of comparison which been dissected to the atomic level already.
Neither man skated particularly well in this competition, nor did the 3rd place finisher. But it is to be expected that the Takahashi fan club will continue to cry foul until who knows when.
Still discrediting Chan's win here, eh? I can't, and won't attempt to, change the closed minds but I do have another observation regarding live and remote audiences' emotional but irrational responses: the later an error is, the more impact it has on the perception of the merits of the program and the competition even though it makes no difference in actual scoring. Takahash's major error occurred at the the early part of the SP and was totally forgotten and ignored at the end of the LP/competition. So was Hanyu's low ranking SP. In Pairs, V/T won the LP and almost won the Gold medal in a virtual tie. If they did win in a virtual tie, would they be booed and their awkward awful fall in the Death Spiral during the SP be held against them? Chan's awkward awful fall happened late to his lowest value jump, when his win had already been secured barring an unlikely awkward awful fall in the footwork, but is used to discredit his win and his superior skating skills unendingly.
Or, I may be wrong; it has nothing to do with the timing of the mistake but has everything to do with Chan simply handing his gleeful distractors an ammunition for disparaging him. Still, it should not and did not cost him a win and another rightful title.

FWIW, I doubt he was the only one. Skating has it fair share of unpopular decisions by judges. I'd bet Fusar-Poli/Margalio over Anisina/Peizerat was not especially welcomed by general audience, and Krylova/Ovsyannikov over Anissina/Peizerat in Helsninki-1999 was definitely not. I also remember a lot of booing then a flawed performance by Berezhnaya/Sikhaurlidze beat clean Shen/Zhao, but I am not sure if it was WC or not. Ditto for Totmyanina/Marinin vs. Shen/Zhao, at very least in Dortmund (S/Z won the LP, but were 4th in the SP, so they had to settle for silver, despite being quite magical that night).
Besides, I believe the reason for the booes was the fact that up till Patrick's skate Joubert was ranked third. The moment his marks were announced Joubert was kicked off the podium. So unless you are suggesting that he should have finished behind Joubert in overall classification (which, of course, you are perfectly free to do), there was no judges' decisions re. his placement in the LP, which would not have produced the same reaction.
I dont know why people are still discreditting Chan's win. His skating skills are superior to Daisuke, he has better flow and is far more efficient in stroking. I do think his body movements were very in line with the music and in a way more difficult than Daisuke's, D is more exciting because he jiggles more and has more movements but that is not artistry per se. Patrick seems to have improved the lyrical quality to his upper body movements and does come across as a dacner far more. I think people like to make a conspiracy out of things and claiming the judges are biased etc etc, but it is quite a unanimous result. Also, people like to keep pointing out the fall on the last axel, but that's the whole point of the COP and using marks to determine placings. He should have won with a more decisive margin without the fall. Landing two quads is still a remarkable feat.
In Japan, Takahashi is certainly more famous than Hanyu and he's heavily favored by the JSF simply because he was the best shot at world/olympic medals.. But the international judges seem to have little trust in Takahashi anymore. The results at WC (almost perfect Takahashi <= Hanyu w/ one fall) has proven that the ISU is going to promote Hanyu thereafter. Even the JSF should know Takahashi's brand is falling in its value. They don't have much choice.
I say, rather Hanyu is the star of the ISU. Probably the JSF officials have not expected Hanyu to medal this year, especially after the SP. They had planned to promote Takahashi at least until 2013 worlds, and if all things go well, Hanyu could be the #2 man at Sochi, who has the outside shot at a medal if Takahashi falters. The ISU is urging the JSF to rethink and speed up the plan.
Giving three spots to the next year's host is desirable but not the highest priority for the international judges. If they could do it without much difficulty, very few people will complain. I think their reluctance to treat Takahashi as "Chan's rival" is the more important reason.

01.08.2013 /
KTM Factory rider Marc Coma finished Stage Eight of the Rally dos Sertões on Thursday in third place to hold onto his third placed overall with just two stages to go.
It was another very long day on the track between Palmas and Minaçu covering a total of 666 km
including 312 km timed special after which Marc Coma trails the leader Paolo Goncalves of Portugal by 34:06 minutes. Cyril Despres is in second place.
Coma was out first today after winning the stage on Thursday and the first part of the track was very fast before becoming very technical and with navigational challenges. He finished in 4:06:58 hours with Despres and coming in 5:43 minutes in front of him.
Saturday is the penultimate stage of this near 4100 km journey through Brazil, with another long 549 km and a 264 km timed special between Minaçu and Goianésia Goianésia Minaçu. The rally ends back in the state capital of Goiania.
Coma said he was happy with how the stage went on Friday given that he was tasked with opening the track for the other riders. "We have no technical problems and we managed the navigation. There are still two days but after tomorrow's stage, more than 260 kilometers, and we say that the rally is almost complete. However, anything can happen, especially in a rally as long as this."
Coma's factory teammate Jakub Przgonski moved up from seventh to sixth in the overall standings after finishing eighth in the stage.
Barring some major difficulties the podium should be decided between Goncalves, Despres and Coma. The KTM rider is looking to pick up decisive points to retain his World Cross Country World Championship title, having won the earlier rallies in the series. He currently has a 13-point lead over Goncalves and there is one rally left in the series – the Pharaoh's Rally in Egypt (Sept 28- Oc. 5).

Like Metro, it only offers upright styles – there are no italics. FF Advert is appreciated by graphic designers for including two unique lowercase 'a' forms in each font: single-story and double-story versions.
The typeface comes from Dutch designer Just van Rossum. There is a sister design as well: FF Advert Rough. This family includes five roughened variations of FF Advert Bold, in progressive degrees of thickness. All variations have the same width, so they can be layered on top of each other as though they formed a colorful, mind-expanding cake. The most interesting things happen when you slightly shift and/or rotate the stacked weights.
FF Advert Rough supports 101 different languages such as Spanish, English, Portuguese, German and French in Latin scripts. (Please note that not all languages are available for all formats.)

Home Buyers Face a Balancing Act
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Talk to any Realtor these days and you'll likely get an earful about "limited inventories."
That's a big departure from the past few years, when home sellers were eager, for a variety of reasons, to pound those "for sale" signs into their front lawns.
While existing home sales eased in December, the number is 12.8% higher than in December 2011, according to the Washington-based National Association of Realtors .
All together, total U.S. home sales last year rose to 4.65 million, up from 4.26 million in 2011, the NAR says. That's the highest total since 2007.
The story now in the U.S. housing market is all about demand.
"Record low mortgage interest rates clearly are helping many homebuyers, but tight inventory and restrictive mortgage underwriting standards are limiting sales," says Lawrence Yun, chief economist at the NAR. "The number of potential buyers who stayed on the sidelines accumulated during the recession, but they started entering the market early last year as their financial ability and confidence steadily grew, along with home prices. Likely job creation and household formation will continue to fuel that growth. Both sales and prices will again be higher in 2013."
But there's another issue that could affect the housing market in a big way this year. In essence, the script has flipped from 2007 to 2012, as homeowners are more inclined to sit on the sidelines and not sell their homes -- at least not right now. Over the past few years, there has largely been more sellers than buyers, forcing home sellers to reduce prices and keeping homes from getting offers from multiple bidders.
According to Redfin , a Seattle-based online real estate broker, only 49% of 895 homeowners "with intent to sell their homes" surveyed plan on selling their homes in 2013, and only 22% believe now is a good time to sell.
Mainly, that sentiment is tied tightly to a perception that home prices are rising: 81% of homeowners surveyed believe prices will rise in 2013, and 34% say that "missing out" on future home price gains is the primary reason they are holding off on selling their homes.
That has led to a downward shift in U.S. homes for sale, Redfin says. The firm says that home sale inventories "plummeted in every market" it covers. The company's data show 30% fewer home sale listings than in 2012.
"The growing number of home sellers whose top concern is that they may miss out on even greater price gains suggests homeowners' continued reluctance to enter the market just yet," Redfin says in a Jan. 24 statement .
That may be only a temporary trend, though.
"As prices continue to rise, Redfin expects what it now considers an inventory crisis to ease as the spring and summer home-selling seasons approach," the firm reports.

Men set aside from other men because they grow either their hair, their beards, or both longer than the cultural norm. Longhairs may be a target for ridicule in some situations, including the possibility of employment or being called 'hippies' but have a genuine resolve to grow long hair in spite of all criticism. Longhairs come from all types of political and socio-economic backgrounds and are not characterized by one example in particular.
"He is planning on playing video games with the other longhairs from the office after work."
"I think I've got a better chance at getting this job because I'm clean-shaven and the other guys that interviewed were a bunch of longhairs.

THE RSC's winter season in Stratford will continue on an international theme following this summer's World Shakespeare Festival.
The Swan Theatre premieres a trilogy of newly-adapted international plays, in repertoire from November, under the banner 'A World Elsewhere' - a quote from the Bard's Coriolanus reminding Rome's citizens there were other countries and cultures apart from their own.
Curated by Chief Associate Director Gregory Doran and Associate Director Roxana Silbert, the season aims to explore what was going on in the rest of the world in Shakespeare's lifetime.
Doran will open the season with The Orphan of Zhao - sometimes referred to as the Chinese Hamlet, and tracing its origins to the 4th century BC - a powerful tale of self-sacrifice and revenge. It became the first Chinese play to be translated in the West, in an adaptation by Voltaire.
Next the season moves to Russia, and an adaptation of Alexander Pushkin's play, Boris Godunov.
Pushkin is thought by many to be the greatest Russian poet and the father of Russian Literature. He wrote Boris Godunov in 1825, inspired by Shakespeare's Macbeth.
Its subject is the ruthless Boris Godunov, Tsar from 1598 to 1605, who was rumoured to have murdered the Tsarevich Dmitry in order to seize power. Michael Boyd will direct what will be the culmination of a thread of Russian work he has initiated in the past few years, and his final production as Artistic Director of the RSC before he steps down at the end of 2012.
Then to Italy, for Bertolt Brecht's Galileo. Arguably, Brecht's greatest play, Galileo explores the confrontation of religious fundamentalism and scientific evidence, through the trial of the great scientist and philosopher Galileo in 1616. Roxana Silbert will direct what will be her final production as RSC Associate Director before she takes up her new position as Artistic Director of Birmingham Rep.
A range of supporting events and exhibitions will be announced shortly.
Visit www.rsc.org.uk for further details.
* CLASSIC children's story The Mouse and His Child will open the winter season.
Acclaimed as one of the classics of 20th century children's literature, Russell Hoban's moving story tells the tale of two clockwork mice thrown on a scrap heap who then have to begin a dangerous quest for a place to belong.
The family show - directed by Told By An Idiot's co-Artistic Director Paul Hunter, who directed the RSC's recent Young People's Shakespeare production of The Comedy of Errors - continues the RSC's tradition of creating and staging new adaptations of much-loved childhood tales.

The immune system includes specialized white blood cells, called lymphocytes that adapt themselves to fight specific foreign invaders. These cells develop into two groups in the bone marrow.
From the bone marrow, one group of lymphocytes migrates to a gland called the thymus and become T lymphocytes or T cells. Within the thymus, the T cells mature under the influence of several hormones.
The T cells mature into several different types, including helper, killer and suppressor cells. T cells are responsible for cell-mediated immunity. This type of immunity becomes deficient in persons with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, because HIV attacks and destroys helper T cells.
The other group of lymphocytes, B lymphocytes or B cells, mature and develop within the bone marrow itself. In that process, they achieve the ability to recognize specific foreign invaders. From the bone marrow, B cells migrate through the body fluids to the lymph nodes, spleen and blood. B lymphocytes provide the body with humoral immunity as they circulate in the fluids in search of specific foreign invaders to destroy.

Phoronix: THQ Is Looking At Bringing Their Games To Linux
THQ, the American game company responsible for a great deal of computer games and was the company behind the recent controversial Humble Bundle, is currently evaluating the market for bringing their titles to Linux...
typo: Jason Rubin, the president of THQ
good news - and now to the obligatory: "shut up and take my money!"
Interesting news, but I hope they don't bring some boring game, then when it fails they declare for all to listen that linux really isn't worth it.
Let's remember that before the bundle THQ wasn't doing that well financially, and while the quality of their games might not be the entire reason, it surely plays a big part.
THQ...hmmm...last time I saw a game from them must've been ~10 years ago. Was some truck racing game IIRC. It was a testversion on a computer games magazine.
this one -> http://images.anandtech.com/reviews/...dia2k/mbtr.jpg
No one mentioned Supreme Commander! At least Planetary Annihilation will be for Linux though, if it is any good.
Sounds good! What we need are reference examples that show people in the industry that porting to linux doesn't require a team of 50 people working on it for 2 months. If they see that it pays of rather quickly they won't hesitate to do it.
If they do this I'll definitely boost my humble bundle contribution substantially metro 2033 is my favorite game ever. I already pre-ordered last light but if they manage to get linux support by launch I'll buy it again!
I bought it 'cause it was a humble bundle and I buy those.. but I sent all the money to charity. I'm not paying devs for windows development; I don't use Windows. If the games ever run well in wine though, i'll own them.
Sounds like: "We are looking, how to use WINE with Steam for Linux"

Not happy nor unhappy, just making a transition from a 'hanging" wtf? on my last post. No disrespect: Just laying a literary twist on an outraged driver. As per --is this a "literary Forum"??. Better to laugh at traffic & fools, the alternatives are a DWI or an acid stomach. Gotta get real, if driving in N.Y.C., Paris, London or Tokyo drives you up the wall numerous times per outing, you just opened your door on the wrong Planet!. Try Cycle VII in the Pedal Galaxy.
Bah, too much uni work to do, and I have two assessments for the start of December and I haven't started them yet and I'm panicking about them. But... (go to happy thread)
I'm in Georgia on a business trip and I guess I don't like traveling. I want to go home. It's not that there's anything wrong with Georgia; it's just that I'm stressed by the job and I miss my own bed. And my kitchen - I don't like eating fast food or restaurant food all the time. And I don't know how much longer I have to be here. Argh.
I'm miserable. Tim just left, and it's like someone is tearing a chunk of myself out of my chest right now. I won't see him until January.
I missed an opprotunity to talk to one of my exes. Long complicated story and because I didn't refresh the tab with my forum opened or hadn't touched that tab in like a couple hours the forum showed me as logging off at the time of a PM she sent. All about trying to end what is left of our friendship on good terms. Of course if I had known she would have popped in I would never have... Either way she thinks I am pissed at her for not replying. Not my fault I got caught up in a book. I mean who knew you could turn people into white rabbits in the name of justice and to prevent two religious sects from fighting? Screw it. I don't care anymore. Woman are to high maintanence. I am officially unofficialy(wait does that mean what I intend it to mean? Meh screw it) swearing off woman all together. *shrugs* I mean guys can't be that hard to please can they? Beer and explosions pretty much sums up a guys ideal night on the town... ... But yeah I am in a rather foul mood. Oh well. Its done with once and for all. Of course thats what Link keeps saying about Ganondorf. Oh how I love my crappy and lame jokes and humor.
Well, Link's not the one in charge of everything. If he knew it was Miyamoto/Anouma that kept putting him with Ganondorf, he'd have a word with them. lol. Anywhoo, yeah, just take a break. Maybe a woman you like will come to you.
What the hell Warner Bros? What the hell? Apparently the above mentioned film studio has decided it's going to do a film reimagining of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Without Joss Whedon's involvement. There really aren't words for this level of idiocy...
^What?! Argh, I agree. Disney tried to pull the same trick on Pixar, but weren't successful. Thank goodness. I an NOT happy because I caught a bug this past week, and I can't smell this delicious Apple Crisp we made for dessert. My nose is so stuffed up. *whimper* so not fair...
Ugh, that sounds awful Banzai. Definitely not getting my moneys! I am unhappy because I was pretty stressed earlier and ended up hurting myself by punching my steering wheel. >.> =( I was stressed b/c I went to a friends house uninvited. We've been on bad terms for a while and I wanted to see if I could set things right. I know I didn't make things worse because he was telling me that there was nothing I could do to make up for it at first, but by the end of our short talk (it was kinda late), he agreed to think on it and we hugged. I think he realized the stress I put him in wasn't likely to happen again to that extent as my emotions were severely drug-induced at the time. All I can do now really is pray. For his happiness at least. Still I'm trying to stay hopeful.
Have you ever had one of those days where work (or whatever you had going on) was ridiculous and stressful and wound you up really tight, and then when you got home, you couldn't unwind? I've been off work for two and a half hours, and I just keep getting more and more upset. Today can suck it. Seriously. At least tomorrow morning is our holiday visit from our DM, so after that all I have to do is pretend Thanksgiving doesn't exist, wait for Black Friday to pass, and then coast through the rest of the holiday season.
Nothing is coming out right. I have sat here, trying to organize my thoughts, for forty-five minutes. my previous estimate of thirty-five was off. I am so embarrassed, so guilty. I am so angry, so betrayed. I wish I could stop choking on my words.
It always bothers me when the original creators and authors are not involved in such projects. I can understand that studios would want to reimagine and reinvent such franchises, but they should include the original creators. At the very least offer them to have their input on such projects. Of course for me, when the creator is involved, changes are more readily acceptable to me and I tend to be more forgiving for the changes I don't like. Where as on the other hand I am not so leniant because it just seems like they are simply screwing over the franchise and the fans.
His intellectual property, surely. Anyhoo, I'm extremely miffed. After 299 consecutive home games watching Town without missing any, I'm missing tonight's against MK Dons. ONE short of 300 consecutive home games. ONE. 12 years that's taken me.
How the hell did I used to fit a reasoned, informed and referenced argument in 1,500 words? I've just written what I thought was a concise and informative introduction for my Family Law essay, and it's 300-400 words long. Christ, this is going to be a long few days. I'm not sure, it depends on how much of the show he's responsible for creating- and what rights got signed away. He was famously very unhappy with the original film, it it was still mass-released.
Came here to vent, but started off reading others, the level of misery contained therein just blew my bloated Spleen right out of the water. Thought I had stepped into Dante's when I read of a stuffed nose depriving it's wearer of smelling the apples--now that-Really-took the Crisp!!. What was it bothering me????---WOW!--this place really works!!.
I think like most people WB has forgotten that there was a buffy movie back in the early twenties which totally flopped. Apart from die hard fans, (most of whom are probably p***ed off by this news), very few people would see it because we now live in a post Twilight-True Blood-Vampire Diaries world where vampires are sexy and in love wi... ...erm... ...I don't know where I'm going with that because Angel was buffy's boyfriend, but at least he stuck to some of the more traditional vampire rules, drank Human blood, couldn't survive in daylight. If they do a buffy movie I bet that they bring back Angel and he's totally lame. It'll probably have a UK rating of 12A or even PG.
And Angel had the good sense to piss off after season 4, only returning occasionally to showcase how much weight he'd put on.
My bottom lip is cut. Split, sort of. I have no idea how it got that way and it hurts to even talk. I can barely move my lips without feeling pain.

US tells banks to guard against Iranian activity
Thursday - 1/10/2013, 10:48am EST
By BRADLEY KLAPPER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Obama administration wants U.S. banks to enhance monitoring of exchange houses in the Middle East and elsewhere for Iranian attempts to evade economic sanctions.
The Treasury Department says Iran is gaining access to the American financial system through the loophole of exchange houses and trading companies in countries not subject to U.S. sanctions.
The department says it has identified transactions that conceal Iranian companies and account holders, including people designated under U.S. sanctions law.
It said Thursday that U.S. banks don't need to close accounts held by exchange houses. But they should be diligent about where funds come from.
Washington is stepping up pressure on Iran over its nuclear program. The U.S. fears Iran may be trying to develop nuclear weapons; Iran says its program is for energy production.

Tasty gluten-free pasta frittata. |
No Internet.
Nada. We're trying- one more time- shooting for a Tuesday hook-up. But our hopes are tempered by frustration, to be honest. We are no longer giddy with Windstream anticipation. In fact, we no longer assume we will ever be surfing cyberspace from our casita again. We are looking at each other and sighing. Twiddling our collective thumbs. Craving California sushi. We are driving south to Santa Fe to check e-mail at The Travel Bug bookstore. In fact, I am writing to you this morning sitting among Texan tourists pawing fold-out maps and discussing day trips to the Anasazi ruins to a soundtrack of Native American Flute Music.
To be totally blunt, in the thick of all this quintessential New Mexican Mañana, I have lost my cooking mojo. I am crunching through a bag of chips and jarred salsa and calling it supper. I am looking at my martini and considering its three olives a proper food group. And therefore, dinner.
But if I did cook? I'd whip up this perfectly simple frittata recipe from the archives and call it brunch.
Martinis and Carlos Nacai are optional.
Italian Pasta Frittata Recipe
With leftover gluten-free brown rice spaghetti, there's only one fabulous thing to do. Whip up a quick and easy frittata. As luck would have it, we had some Portobello mushrooms, olives, sun-dried tomatoes and bell peppers.
Leftover cooked gluten-free spaghetti - about a cup and a half to 2 cups
Leftover cooked gluten-free spaghetti - about a cup and a half to 2 cups
4 oz goat cheese, or other soft or shredded cheese
2 large portobello mushrooms, chopped
1 green or yellow bell pepper, cored, seeded, sliced thin
2 cloves garlic, minced
Olive oil
A goodly splash of balsamic vinegar
8 sun-dried tomatoes- soaked, drained, chopped
1/4 cup sliced ripe olives
Sea Salt and ground pepper
5 large organic free-range eggs
1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
Red chile flakes, or dried basil and oregano, to taste
1-2 oz. shredded Parmesan cheese
Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
Arrange the cooked spaghetti in the bottom of a 9-inch greased pie plate. Scatter pieces of the goat cheese all over the pasta.
In a medium skillet saute the mushrooms, bell pepper and garlic in a little olive oil over medium-high heat, till softened. Add a dash of balsamic vinegar and stir in the sun-dried tomatoes. Season with sea salt and ground pepper. When the veggies are tender, remove from heat and stir in the olives.
In the meantime, whisk the eggs with the sour cream till smooth and frothy. Season to taste with spices and herbs.
Add the cooked veggies to the pasta and goat cheese; arrange evenly over the top.
Pour the egg mixture all over the pasta and veggies; and using a fork, shimmy the pasta a bit to allow the egg mixture to seep in and around. Sprinkle with extra red pepper flakes, basil, or your favorite seasoning. Sprinkle with the shredded Parmesan cheese.
Bake in a hot oven on a center rack for 35 minutes or so - until the frittata is set and golden brown. Use a thin knife to check the center for doneness, if you like.
Allow the frittata to cool for ten minutes before serving (this makes it much easier to slice). It's also good cold, if you feel like making an easy dish for a romantic picnic.
Makes 4 hearty servings. Serves 6 as a side dish.

One thing I know for sure---Charlie wouldn't say Meryl was the one with the leg cramp.
One thing I know for sure---Charlie wouldn't say Meryl was the one with the leg cramp.
Here is another famous example. At the 1998 World Pro, Todd Eldredge fell on a triple Lutz. He hit the ice so hard that he broke a cufflink. A few seconds later he noticed the cufflink on the ice. He stopped the program and went over to the referee's table to show the panel that there was a hazard on the ice.
Assistant referee Alexander Lakernik (now head of the ISU technical committee) gave Eldredge one of his own cufflinks. Eldredge was asked if he wanted to pick up the program from before or after the triple Lutz attempt. Todd went with before. He nailed it on the second attempt and finished in second ahead of Rudy Galindo and Kurt Browning. (Alexei Yagudin won.)

Excellent point. Safety of the athletes is paramount & figure skating can dangerous. IMO the ISU are correct in eliminating penalties. These skaters spend years/months/hours perfecting their programs & if an injury or equipment malfunction suddenly occurs, it's only fair there's some leeway & flexibility rather than punitive rigidity. Stuff happens.
Oh, no, I really don't think you want to ELIMINATE penalties - what's left there - relying on the athelets' sense of honor to prevent abusing of this "leeway and & flexibility" ? This is a sport after all and risk is part of it, like you said, stuff happens. If you have decided to commit to it, you should accept certain degree of risk and accountability. I agree there should be some measure for safety, but not like this.
I'd probably put at least a one point penalty. Maybe 2. Or maybe on a sliding scle, depending on how long the interruption is.
I think at least there should be more transparency and a time limit on the interruption (or perhaps sliding scale as you say). I think the skaters should have to say what is wrong and that there should be atime limit for them to get their stuff together. I think a 1-2 point penalty is appropriate. I think safety is very important (and hope the skaters think so too!) but as others have said better than I could it's a sport. If you cannot do a program straight through, whatever the reason, a mild penalty is appropriate. If it is just one point that is far less than the 'real' penalty for a fall (taking into account negative GOE) and I think that is more than fair.
I remember I think the 2006 Olympics and the Zhang's. I thought they should have forfeited their medals. They went for a big trick and failed and got hurt. I am not sure they got penalized at all other than the fall. This was not a fluke accident ie broken shoe lace, cuff link; they made a huge error on a throw jump.
I know of 3: Shibutanis, V&M, and the Zhangs. I don't think taken advantage of is the correct term, exactly; the rule was applied in their cases. I daresay it has happened at smaller competitions, but I haven't watched them.
Welcome, Tereska. Thanks for joining us. Post often, post long!
Oda, I think, would qualify. Harding was an equipment malfunction, as was Todd Eldredge's cufflink on the ice(although these days, he would have gotten a costume deduction).
I've watched it several times. They definitely looked like they were setting up for a lift but changed their minds, embracing and holding hands for a few seconds longer before actually stopping. I don't think they should have been allowed to start before the lift.
Agreed. Someone on another forum pointed out that in other sports such as track or gymnastics, you're not allowed re-starts for cramps.
I just don't know about this one but I absolutely feel they should not have been allowed to do that lift after they were rested. Nor should they have won the silver imo. But it's done. On to Worlds.
I just can't 'buy' this version of Carmen from V/M. Tessa has these big, beautiful doe eyes that just don't smolder enough for me. And when she spread her legs at some points it just looked vulgar to me not sexy. I hope they come up with something magical, and exquisite for the Olympic season. This isn't it, not for me anyway. And I hope very very much we do not see any stops from them nor any other Dance team at the Olympics. But especially not from them or any of the Americans.
I'm not in love with D/M's FD "Notre Dame" just yet but it's growing on me. I still have seen nothing from them to match their enchanting "Bollywood" SD from the 2010 Olympics but their Polka SD is cute. I hope they can come up with something as enchanting as their "Bollywood" number for Sochi.
Agreed. When I get a leg cramp it hurts like the Dickens. I can barely stand or walk the first few minutes let alone skate as Tessa did. But well, it was her cramp not mine. I watched the footage yet again. You can clearly see Moir start to lift Virtue then they stop. The referee was very generous there. And again I repeat, I hope to Heaven this doesn't happen at the Olympics. It will not look good no matter what anyone says to the contrary if any skater/s medals with such a stop in their program and no apparent injury.
Yes but that was after their skate. It just looked strange when they stopped and she didn't appear to rub her leg, stretch it or anything. She was clearly trying to catch her breath on the sidelines and had a sip of water. That was about it before they went back to re-start their program. It's peculiar that's all.
Thank you. I found nothing tasteful about such moves in V/M's Carmen program. It was disappointing to see. And frankly, at the start of their program at first view, I thought Tessa ran her hand down Scott's crotch, not his leg. Must've been the angle. I had the flu and was watching the screen sideways from my bed. Some of their elements actually reminded me a little of Bestemianova and Bukin's 1988 FD. I distinctly remember one journalist's review back then calling Bestemianova's constant 'squat & spread eagle' dance' elements 'vulgar' versus the sensual "Bolero" program by Torvill & Dean four years earlier.
I just hope and pray V/M come up with a much better program for the Olympics, hopefully something fresh and new that plays to their strengths.
And I hope they re-visit the rule for allowing such stops in skater's programs.
I have a tennis friend who says that Djokovic is famous for "timing" his time-outs. I remember a story about two other players, my faves Sampras and Agassi, from some years ago. In a minor game, not a grand slam tournament, Sampras was overcome with a stomach ailment, and he was ready to default. Agassi said (I think he may have even addressed the crowd) that he didn't think he could count it as a win if he beat Sampras through default. So he offered to continue the game later or the next day (I forget which). At that time, I think Sampras won. Not that this story has any relevance to skating, but I always find it worth repeating.
As for Scott and Tessa, they're the best in the world, along with Davis and White, and I think that personal pride would keep them from using a medical time-out (if such a thing exists in skating) as a strategy. But they probably should incur some point loss if they stop.

Google Street View heads for Amazon River
A mapping we will go - the intrepid Street View team floats downstream to offer virtual visitors a unique insight into the wonders of the Amazon
Article Summary
If you were to come up with a list of places you're unlikely to stumble across Google's Street View trike snapping 360 degree panoramics, the banks of the Amazon would surely be pretty close to the top. Yet that's precisely where the search behemoth's imaging team is currently focusing its attention. Starting off with a 50 km stretch of the Rio Negro River, the team plans to document life in some our world's most remote and richly biodiverse regions - visiting local communities, going inside village buildings and floating up and down the waterways to offer virtual visitors a unique insight into the wonders of the Amazon.

Archer looks to lead Rays to 10th straight win
Sox counter with prospect Webster, who takes departed Peavy's spot
Jake Peavy will pitch Sunday, but not in a Red Sox uniform. He'll be 3,000 miles west, on the mound in San Francisco.
Peavy was scheduled to start for Boston on Sunday in the finale of a three-game set against the Rays, but the club dealt him to the Giants on Saturday morning for a pair of pitching prospects -- Edwin Escobar and Heath Hembree. Starting in Peavy's place for the Red Sox will be 24-year-old Allen Webster, who will take on Tampa Bay's Chris Archer, as the Rays look to win their 10th consecutive game.
"[Peavy] was a guy we were willing to listen on simply because as we looked at the team, we felt like there was some opportunity and value in giving some innings to one of the younger starters, and we thought that we could be just as competitive as a team in doing that," Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington said. "And we knew that there would be enough interest in Jake to possibly get something back that we like and would help us down the road. He was one player on the team that we were willing to talk about earlier, and it just so happened that it came together this week."
Webster, Boston's No. 2 prospect, was roughed up in eight games (seven starts) last season, allowing 29 earned runs in 30 1/3 innings. He had a 1.81 WHIP and a 1.28 K/BB ratio. This season with Triple-A Pawtucket, he has a 3.10 ERA and opponents are hitting .234 against him.
"He has been able to maintain the overall command of stuff more than a year ago," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "And he's gotten another 20-plus starts under his belt at the Triple-A level, which when you take back last year, his year at Triple-A was a very good one for us. He's in the process of transitioning to our level here."
Archer has been solid for the Rays this season, especially at home. He's posted a 3.19 ERA, a 1.23 WHIP and a 2.84 K/BB ratio at Tropicana Field.
His last two starts at the Trop haven't gone as well, though. He's given up nine earned runs in his last 12 innings at home, including five runs in as many frames against Toronto on July 11.
In his only start against the Red Sox this season, Archer didn't fare well. He allowed five runs on three hits and five walks over 4 2/3 innings on May 1.
All in all, however, Archer has been steady in 2014. Rays manager Joe Maddon credits improved fastball command for that success.
"It makes the difference," Archer said. "There's a correlation between my bases on balls and the runs I give up over the course of a season. Nobody probably looks at it like that, but I do. Because they're free passes. Too many pitches, which doesn't allow you to get into the seventh, eighth, ninth inning. So it's a key factor for me."
Red Sox: Deadline focus on 2015
Entering Saturday, Fangraphs.com gave the Red Sox just a 4 percent chance of making the playoffs. A 13-game stretch against only American League East opponents hasn't gone well, either.
Cherington said no other deals are imminent, but anything the club does between now and Thursday's non-waiver Trade Deadline will be with an eye on April 2015.
"We have to be mindful of what that means with where we are, what the math says about our chances, and we have to act accordingly," Cherington said. "Whatever we do between now and then will be geared toward putting ourselves in the best possible position as quickly as possible."
Cherington said the club is listening to offers, but there's nothing close to getting done right now. That would include a deal involving Jon Lester, who is set to become a free agent at season's end.
Rays: Oviedo designated for assignment
To make room for Saturday starter Jeremy Hellickson, the Rays designated righty Juan Carlos Oviedo for assignment.
Hellickson underwent elbow surgery in January and made his first start of the year prior to the All-Star break. The club wanted him to continue throwing, so he was sent to Class A Advanced Charlotte before returning Saturday.
The 32-year-old Oviedo had a 3.69 ERA and 26 strikeouts in 31 2/3 innings for Tampa Bay this season.
"He's gonna pitch for somebody else," Maddon said. "And given the opportunity, he has a chance to pitch really well during the rest of this season. There's nothing wrong with him at all, except that he just needs more opportunity, I think. Probably the only negative with him would be command overall, but stuff-wise, his stuff was good."
Worth noting
• Rays reliever Joel Peralta made a rehab appearance for Charlotte on Saturday. He allowed one hit in a scoreless inning.
Peralta (illness) is eligible to come off the disabled list on Monday. It's the first time he's been on the shelf in his 10-year career.
• Red Sox first baseman/outfielder Mike Carp has reportedly requested a trade from the organization. He wants to play more regularly and has seen just 95 plate appearances this season.

Posted by bamabenny on 1/13 at 1:29 am to BarbeTiger Sorry. Guy was being a douche so I had to respond. But on topic, Jesse will be a great player down the road but doesn't fit well into the 4-3 scheme. Pass rushing DE is our biggest need ATM. I'm pretty high on that kid from Oregon, personally.Reply Back to Top |
Posted by 228Tiger on 1/13 at 8:10 am to BarbeTiger Sorry, the two bama fans were flaming so i had to respond Anyway, there will be much higher rated DTs on the board at this time. Richardson probably wont be available but maybe Jenkins of UGA or Kawann Short Any tiger fans remember Cassius Marsh? Commitment to LSU at one point now at UCLA and already projected top 10 DT in this year's draft Reply Back to Top |
Posted by AtlantaLSUfan on 1/13 at 8:33 am to AllBamaDoesIsWin I know half of you are joking, but all Alabama residents are welcome on this board any day. I travel the South for work and love that there are Saints fans and gear in the stores. Mobile, Pensacola, Jackson etc. Finally winning Shreveport back as well. Reply Back to Top |

Posted by 228Tiger on 1/14 at 9:53 am to Riseupfromtherubble And? Ellis will be gone after this yeae and we need a run stopper who can consistently rush the passer. Im not saying we will take Jenkins, but we will take the best available at our pick of DT/DE Reply Back to Top |
Posted by blueslover on 1/14 at 10:06 am to 228Tiger as to the OP, I don't see anyone projecting Williams as a 4-3DT at all, 3-4 NT only. I see 3 DTs that could be BPA and a fit for the Saints- Lotulelei- 0% chance of availability Hankins and Richardson- both could be gone or both still on the board. Still some solidifying of the DT stock to shakeout. Jenkins, Floyd, and Short might move up boards but at this point look like reaches at #15 IMO Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Riseupfromtherubble on 1/14 at 10:29 am to blueslover quote: 4-3 DT is really his natural position and the one he is best suited for. He played DE as a junior and was only moved to Nt as a necessity as a senior. He's a little light for 3-4 NT. As far as Jenkins goes, he'a a terrible fit for a 4-3. He gets no push on pass rush and is way too easy to move for a guy his size. He got manhandled by a guy on one leg in the SECCG. The saints don't need a gap eater near as much as they need a playmaker on that side of the ball. Imagine Aldon Smith in black and gold Reply Back to Top |
Posted by 228Tiger on 1/14 at 12:11 pm to Riseupfromtherubble quote: I'm not going to argue this with you any further, you have your opinion and that's fine--but if he is there as the highest ranked DT at that time then we will take him. Just like if there is a higher ranked DE on the board we will take him. We need a guy who can rush the passer/stop the run PERIOD..Well, technically a couple of guys Reply Back to Top |

Posted by WreckinRams05 on 1/24 at 7:36 pm to AllBamaDoesIsWin If the Saints take a SEC DT in the first, I hope it is Richardson. Big body and had quick bursts in the games I have seen him in so far.Reply Back to Top Refresh |
