Top Definition
Pouty lips are lips that are especially full or semi-puckered, as when expressing real or mock dissatisfaction by pouting. Some women believe that having ground-up gristle (also known as collagen) injected into their lips will make them poutier and hence more desirable.
"She's not really upset. She just thinks having pouty lips is sexy or something."

4 more definitions
Silly & stupid smiles typically used by Generation Y girls who think they're destined for a career in modeling, or living vicariously thru celebrities like Britney Spears, Xtina Aguilera or Paris Hilton. Usually accompanied by the scissor gang mafia sign, an upraised alcoholic drink, while wearing obscenely large Dolce & Gabbana eyewear and hanging on a douchebag.
Damn, lookit dat hott!! She got dah pouty lips, dah D&Gs & dah SGM - I'm gonna score tonight!

noun. Term used to describe over-inflated outer pussy lips. Commonly found on a woman who was really fat at one time, but now she is much thinner. She still has a big fat snapper. When a chick loses weight, the hooters are the first to go, but the snapper usually stays big and fat.
Guy: Dude, you're ho looks great since she lost all that weight.
Friend: Yeah, I know, but she still has a big "pouty" hangin' on her. Look at that big bulge in her shorts.

Are you joking that Python over LLVM (I think you mean about: Unlanden Shaddow).
Let's see the results:
(See the source )| Benchmark | CPython | Unladen | Change |
+==============+=========+=========+============== +
| 2to3 | 25.13 s | 24.87 s | 1.01x faster |
| django | 1.08 s | 0.68 s | 1.59x faster |
| html5lib | 14.29 s | 13.20 s | 1.08x faster |
| nbody | 0.51 s | 0.28 s | 1.84x faster |
| rietveld | 0.75 s | 0.55 s | 1.37x faster |
| slowpickle | 0.75 s | 0.55 s | 1.37x faster |
| slowspitfire | 0.83 s | 0.61 s | 1.36x faster |
| slowunpickle | 0.33 s | 0.26 s | 1.26x faster |
| spambayes | 0.31 s | 0.34 s | 1.10x slower |
Let's say that iteration 3 will get another 2x speedup. There is no match in comparison with Boo over Mono (if you are a fan of Python like language). At least by an order of magnitude (yes, Mono is more than 10 x faster than Python in most numerical code, even more if you use multi-threaded code).
So, is not good to rewrite C/C++ code. I think no one stated this, even out of contrary:(...) and C# beside being easier to learn/code don't provide any sort of improvement that justifies rewrite the other 96% of the regular distro code that is already in C/C++/objC/ASM
But there are is a lot of code that is just fine to be written in C#, as you just accepted that is easier to write/learn.
Why adding politics with Mono? Let's say that a developer can finish in 20% shorter a program in C# using Visual Studio. Targeting Mono at he end will not reduce the EU tax contribution of developing software, compared with paying a full C++ developer? That will be paid more, the tools will be maybe a bit pricier, and setting the development time and delays, will also mean even more slowness, so it seems to me that your argument serves you poorly.
At the end, please read posts of myself or other: are many language somewhat better, I don't see any reason to rewrite a software for the sake of rewrite. Did you know any developer saying that the command line tools should be rewritten in C#? Only a C++ guy rewrote a Tomboy application to GNote, wasn't it?
I never thought that Gtk for example should be written in C#, I never said that Gnome Shell would be faster if it would be written in C# (which is true as affirmation, and certainly faster than Python one)

I do a lot of shopping on Amazon - instant video as well as books - and always get emails from them trying to sell me something. One thing that caught my attention recently is the HBO 1st season of Game of Thrones that they're already selling to be released on DVD early this new year. I've searched the web and watched quite a few trailers of this series, but find myself reluctant to buy. I can't say I've been much impressed with the trailers. So, I was hoping to get some opinions here from any fans that actually have seen this series for themselves.
The trailers don't do it justice because it's the story that is powerful and compelling, not the actors, the sets etc. So, yeah. Read the books
I think it's great, but really if you've never seen even an episode I wouldn't suggest you buy the DVD set as you won't know what you're in for. If you have the ability to watch HBO (US), Sky Atlantic (UK) or any channel in your country where Game of Thrones is broadcast, I would at least wait until you can catch a repeat of the first couple of episodes. If you go in beyond the first few, I don't think you'd get a great idea of the show.
I have read the books - all of them - at least twice. I know the story well. I was more interested in the opinions of others who've read the books and seen the HBO series. How well is it done? Accuracy to the books?. Character portayals? . . etc. I think I've watched every trailer out there and it's hard to really get a sense of the quality. I do know I didn't much care for some of the actors they chose. I'd really like to know if it's worth buying now or if I should just wait till I can see it for cheap down the road.
I can't speak for the accuracy, but I do know the feedback here was largely positive and I thought most of the characters were great. Trailers don't do much beyond raise interest. You really need to sit down and watch the first episode or two.
I would say very accurate to the books, surprisingly so. There are some added new scenes but they tend to be very well-done. The most irritating inaccuracy was Roz the Exposition Whore but whatever, there were bound to be a couple let-downs.
The books are some of the best in the entire fantasy genre, and the show is one of the best TV shows of all time. Enough said.
I agree with you on the books - which is why I've read them twice - and thanks for the opinion on the shows. And thanks to saintjon as well. I think I will go ahead and order the box set then. $45 isn't too bad, but I still have to wait for March 6 for release. Oh, one other question; how far does the first season cover as far as the books go ?
As a reader of the books, I'm surprised you haven't watched the show yet. It covers the first book, and is very faithful. There are some changes and additions, however, and not all of these are great. In short, it's not perfect, it has some flaws, but it's pretty awesome. Anyways, in this day and age you can always download it first, to check it out.
I'll express a slightly dissenting view. I would say it somewhat depends on what you'd like to get out of an adaption of a book as to whether you'll really go all out for A Game of Thrones. I found it lacking. For me, to be a successful adaptation of a book, the show or movie needs to somehow utilize the strengths of its medium to somehow enhance what the book is already doing or in some other way bring something more to the table. For instance, Jackson's LOTR movies take some themes from the book and really accentuate them in various ways. In the end, though I thought there were some (fairly serious) missteps along the way, the movies stand on their own as something I enjoy coming back to over and over again almost as much as the books. I don't feel that HBO's AGOT does this. I found it to be so very faithful to the books that it didn't really do anything else with the material. And then, given budgetary constraints, a lot of the locales, set pieces, etc. seemed very small. The grand tournaments feel small, the big battle of note is done off camera, the Dothraki horde seems puny. I understand that a lot of people may be somehow upset by my opinion, but don't be. It's just one person's opinion. I'm not saying that it isn't a successful TV show. And had I not read the books, I think I'd have found it fabulous. But given what I can conjure up on my own when reading the book, I find the show to be merely adequate, FOR ME.
Nope, we don't support that here. I'm sure it's available to be legally streamed from certain sites, but I highly doubt there's anywhere you can legally download it.
Was it a couple years ago? when I read something about HBO possibly making a series? but I never really thought it would happen. I forgot about it and got on with life. I don't watch TV at all. I don't even own a TV. I get all of my entertainment from the net. Any TV shows I watch comes from Netflix or Amazon Instant Video. When TV started all the reality show BS I lost all interest in it and the cost of cable or a sat dish turned me off TV even more. I've been happy with the entertainment I get from Netflix and Amazon, but it does mean I've missed some things, obviously. I never even knew HBO had actually done it until I got an email from Amazon trying to sell me the boxed set of season 1. I was very surprised and immediately started googling it to check it out. I did actually check out several sites that claimed to have the show on streaming, but most of them say they can't stream it to the U.S. Other sites claiming they can stream it here want me to download programs to run it that my anti-virus software warns me against installing. I've already had two computers infected so badly they wouldn't even boot up again. I won't chance that again. I can't afford to buy another new computer in this economy. I'll wait another few months and watch the DVD's. Anticipation is sometimes half the fun. And who knows, perhaps before long I'll be able to get the next season on Amazon Instant Video. They are pretty good about getting popular new shows up. Thanks again for your replies.
I seen the first scene on youtube, and thats pretty much how I pictured it. I don't know when I'll be able to see the first season.
They added a character named Roz who is a whore. All her scenes are tacked on gratuitous sex scenes where people talk about things you would learn in the course of reading the books but don't really get explained in the dialogue between characters. She gets pretty annoying by about the 5th or 6th time it happens.

05.06.2013 /
KTM's Marc Coma on Wednesday sealed victory in the Sardinia Rally to complete a hat trick of wins in this season's FIM World Cross Country Rally Championship to have a perfect score card of 60 points.
With this win, KTM's multiple Dakar Rally winner has laid the foundation to retain his title in the 2013 edition of the World Championships. The Spanish rider finished the five-stage rally a shade over seven minutes in front of Paolo Goncalves of Portugal and Joan Pedrero of Spain, making it a three way win for riders form the Iberian Peninsular. Marc Coma's old rival Cyril Despres was fourth.
The final day had a single timed special of 200 km and Coma said it had not been an easy win over the terrain that is more akin to Enduro riding than rally. He competed this time on the KTM 450 EXC and commented after the final leg: "200 km here in Sardinia is a bit like double that in the desert. It was four hours on the bike and it certainly wasn't easy." Coma was fifth in the final stage but his 9:36 minutes margin after Stage Four was enough to ensure the victory. His two KTM factory teammates Ruben Faria of Portugal and Jakub Przygonski of Poland finished 8 and 9 respectively.
Coma has little time to recover from the Sardinia Rally as the next leg in the World Championship, the Desafio Ruta 40 in Argentina, begins in 10 days time and runs from June 15-22.

text: After reading through this article, I am more convinced that "EDM" has absolutely gone down the toilet. First of all, I absolutely hate that abbreviation. You are part of the problem. This article doesn't offer a shred of knowledge or evidence, yet somehow it got published. Basically, your editor told you to "write an article about EDM so we can get some page views." You've only been following the scene for a year and somehow you believe that you have the right to write about something you barely have scratched the surface on. I would urge you to attend something outside the festival scene, whatever is at Stereo Live, or a dayglow. If somehow you ever get the chance to write another article, and I sincerely hope you don't, please add some substance to the article and teach people about the scene. What you have written offers nothing. As a writer, you should push yourself to do better. This is trash.

San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh, foreground, stands alongside his brother, Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh, before an all game in Baltimore on Thanksgiving Day, 2011. / Nick Wass, AP
SANTA CLARA, Calif. Not many coaches would view going to the Super Bowl, or having a brother reach the Super Bowl, as a mixed blessing.
Then again, no coach has ever made it to the Super Bowl only to find his brother across the field, plotting to beat him, so perhaps San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh's take on his situation is understandable.
"I think it's a blessing and a curse. A blessing because that is my brother's team," Harbaugh said Monday. "The curse part would be that the talk of two brothers playing in the Super Bowl and what that takes away from the players that are in the game. I just feel like the fighters are first."
The Harbaugh family - including the patriarch, former college football coach Jack Harbaugh, and his wife, Jackie - endured any number of news media questions before the 49ers and John Harbaugh's Baltimore Ravens faced each other on Thanksgiving Day 2011, a 16-6 victory by Baltimore at home.
It was an NFL first, two brothers coaching against each other, but no more than a regular-season win - and perhaps sibling bragging rights - was at stake. Now the Lombardi Trophy is on the line.
"That was a four-day deal. Every story has been told. We're not that interesting," said John , who, at 50, is 15 months older than Jim. "I mean, we get it, it's really cool, and it's exciting and all of that, but it's really about the team, and it's about the players."
He went as far as quoting former president Teddy Roosevelt in referring to the players as those "whose face is marred with dust and sweat and blood."
That's not likely to diminish the media's fascination with the story, not with almost two weeks of Super Bowl hype in store.
The brothers are close and talk on the phone frequently. As of Monday, they had only exchanged texts.
"I'd imagine it won't be much more," Jim said. "Pretty busy getting ready."

The story of Smilley's swim is full of inspiration, empowerment and determination, as shown by the polling results in which he topped a list of 22 other world class swims. But for those who weren't able to be in San Francisco, California to cheer Smilley on to his world class achievement, the fun begins in hearing about his story after the fact and being able to show their support for him in ways never before available thru Special Olympics.
Over the last year Special Olympics has engaged its athletes, supporters, fans and newcomers thru a variety of online and social media channels like Twitter, Facebook, You Tube and our own Fan Community. With steady levels of growth across all of the aforementioned platforms, we've been able to more effectively tell the story of Special Olympics thru athletes like Andrew Smilley, ultimately resulting in increased engagement in Special Olympics. Most importantly this online growth and raised awareness has challenged the world to rethink the way they see our athletes from "those disabled kids" to athletes with intellectual disabilities who are capable of accomplishing great things of which many only dream.
One of the great assets of Special Olympics is the innate sense of community that envelopes everyone, with or without an intellectual disability, when they get involved. Our social media channels have allowed us to expand that community to the online space, and our community is growing.
On Facebook our fans have increased from 8,000 in January 2009, to more than 53,000 fans just one year later. Our Facebook fans played a huge roll in helping the 2009 Special Olympics World Winter Games be voted Sports Travel Magazine's Best Sporting Event of 2009 against other sporting events like the NCAA Men's Final Four, the NHL Stanley Cup Finals and the 2008 Beijing Olympics. We've been able to promote many sponsorship campaigns with Coca-Cola, Safeway, Wal-Mart, eBay, P&G and Shutterfly. Our fans also helped Special Olympics Montana coach Jessica Rago's "Aha Moment" video about coaching a Special Olympics athlete to be highlighted in Mutual Bank of Omaha's national ad campaign.
With nearly 3,000 Twitter followers for Special Olympics and Spread the Word to End the Word we've helped raise awareness for many campaigns and events. During our annual "Spread the Word to End the Word" day on March 31, 2009 our Tweets and our followers re-Tweets drove tens of thousands of online pledges with Twitter the No. 1 website referrer to www.r-word.org. During the difficult time in August after the passing of our Founder, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, it was our Twitter handle, picked up by WCVB-TV's website, that allowed us to communicate many personal moments and thoughts from those at the wake of Mrs. Shriver.
Special Olympics change la vie des athlètes par la joie en sport. Aidez-nous faire la différence dans leurs vies.

Only Natural Pet Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil provides levels of both omega-3 and -6 essential fatty acids (EFAs) not commonly found in pet foods. This pure oil is made only from wild, non-farmed Alaskan salmon and stabilized with natural antioxidants to maintain its fatty acid content and taste.
The important EPA and DHA Omega-3 essential fatty acids are plentiful in salmon oil. And unlike plant-based Omega-3 products (such as flax seed), fish oil is readily processed by the digestive system, resulting in more available essential fatty acids per serving. A daily dose of salmon oil is a must for any dog or cat with skin or coat issues, including those caused by allergies - but it will make a noticeable improvement in the coat of any animal, young or old.
Benefits of the naturally occurring EFAs in Salmon Oil include

Love the bottle!
By julz
from HB, CA
Loved the bottle spout/cap. It squirts the liquid nicely with no mess- no oil anywhere escept where it should be. Other caps run the oil down the rest of the bottle when shut. This makes a HUGE difference!

Works Very Well
By A.B.
from Los Angeles
I was very pleased with how well and how quickly the Salmon Oil worked. After about a week and a half, I noticed my cats' coats getting shinier. I had to bathe my dog first before noticing a difference. He was a bit filthy. One of my older cats became much more active after two weeks as well. I had tried Hemp Oil before, but it had zero effect on my pets. Glad I tried this Salmon Oil. I will be reordering.
Great Stuff!
By Jmp and Spooky the cat
from Philadelphia, PA
I have been giving this salmon oil to my cat every day for several years. He used to have itchy, dry skin and dandruff. The dandruff was especially visible in his black fur. About a week after I started giving him the salmon oil, his dandruff and itchy skin were gone and they have not come back. Now, his fur is shiny with beautiful red highlights. The vet always comments on how healthy and beautiful his fur is. I add the salmon oil to his wet food every morning and he loves it.

EVANS, Colo. — Immigrants living in the U.S. illegally returned to their mobile home parks in flood-ravaged Colorado to find that there was little left to salvage – not the water-damaged cars, not the old family pictures and not the sheds carried away by the rushing waters.
The destruction, however, was only the beginning of what's been a nightmarish two weeks. They didn't have flood insurance. And because they are not citizens or legal residents – and don't have family members who are – they won't get the federal government's help.
"They say that faith and hope die last," said Juan Partida, 40, a dairy worker who along with his wife Mari, who is pregnant, do not qualify for federal emergency aid because they are in the country illegally. "We need to have faith and hope that we'll get help."
How quickly they can rebuild their lives, relying largely on local government and nonprofit organizations, will have long-term ramifications on the Weld County industries that depend on their labor, from meatpacking plants and farms to construction and hotels.
"They're out of their homes, and a lot of them have lost their vehicles in this, they're impacted. So the economy is going to be impacted," said Lyle Achziger, mayor of Evans, a city on the northern plains whose population of 19,500 is 43 percent Latino.
Achziger said officials responding to the disaster have been learning about the immigrants' importance to the region's economy. He said the city hopes to get people help by getting them to register with the city, county and other volunteer aid organizations.
"We have told them that immigration status is not our focus. And I will repeat that again, that is not our focus. Our focus is getting people out of the cold, getting a roof over their head and getting them a warm meal," he said.
The JBS meatpacking plant in Greeley employs nearly 50 immigrant workers whose families were displaced. The company has paid for hotels, delivered food, and tried to connect families with available services, company spokesman Cameron Bruett said.
"They're certainly a critical element of our team," Bruett said.
The waters that ripped through the Evans mobile home park the morning of Sept. 13 gave residents only minutes to get out. Many left with just the clothes they were wearing.
In Partida's trailer, he and his wife had toys and clothes from their boys, 8 and 3, who died in a car accident nearly a year ago with their aunt and uncle. "Not being able to get none of those things out, for me that's what's saddens me the most," he said.
In all, there were about 150 homes. Every single one is marked with an orange X to signify it's uninhabitable.
Many of the mobile park residents came from Mexico, and those in the country illegally will not get help from the Federal Emergency Management Agency unless they have U.S. citizen children or a family member who is a legal resident.
For those who do qualify for FEMA aid, immigrant advocates are concerned there's a lack of Spanish-language speakers to help families navigate the system.
When a FEMA housing inspector visited Sofia Mendez, 59, the meeting left her confused about what help she would get, she said. Mendez, who is a naturalized citizen, started buying her $29,000 trailer in Evans about a year ago.
At her home this week, Mendez walked slowly with a cane and wore knee-high plastic boots needed to slog through the heavy mud. Her voice wavered as she pointed to the things she lost.
"This is a picture of my granddaughter," she said, pointing to a frame streaked with so much mud it was difficult to make out the face. Pointing to blue tiles on her kitchen counter, she said, "I put those there."
For now, Mendez and her 28-year-old son, who is disabled, are staying with a friend.
In nearby Milliken, a small town tucked amid farm fields, mobile homes that were near the Big Thompson and Little Thompson rivers faced similar devastation as Evans. Latinos account for 28 percent of Milliken's 5,800 residents.
Forty-five trailers suffered varying degrees of damage, said Milliken Mayor Milt Tokunaga. "It doesn't matter if it's an undocumented person or not as far as the impact because they pay taxes here, there's a local carniceria, they do shopping here," he said.
So far, many families have been relying on friends and relatives for housing, and volunteer organizations like the Red Cross, churches, and the Salvation Army for clothing, food and other supplies. There have also been anonymous donations. Someone paid for hotel lodging for 20 families until the end of the month.
"All of them have been amazing to the families, but it is on a temporary basis, day-by-day. Like you can sleep here for tonight, here's food for today," Milliken resident Allison MacDougall told FEMA officials at a town meeting this week.
The officials told her they wished there was another way, but that all they could do was refer them to volunteer aid organizations.
"We were flooded like everyone else. We suffered the same damage," said Norma Miramontes, 42, who along with her husband, a construction worker, is in the U.S. illegally.
They may be eligible for federal aid because her mother, who lives with them, is a legal resident, but they haven't heard back from FEMA. "We pay taxes, we work here," Miramontes said. "We're not getting something for free."

The majority of the residents in the trailer park are immigrants who didn't have flood insurance, and because some are not citizens or legal residents, they can't get government help.

The New School for Social Research
The New School > The New School for Social Research NSSR > Hobbes and Spinoza
Apply Online | Contact
The aim of these lectures is to introduce students to Hobbes and Spinoza by focusing on their theory of imagination. Many interpreters have underlined the similarities between Hobbes and Spinoza, particularly between their political philosophies. During this course, we will set up a more general comparison, by underlining both the similarities and the differences of their approaches to imagination, which particularly emerge when situating their views within their more general philosophical systems and their respective historical contexts.
What is imagination? What role does it play in our lives? How does it relate to passions and reason respectively? Is imagination a source of oppression or a means for emancipation? These lectures address such questions by focusing mainly on Hobbes' Leviathan and Spinoza's Ethics (but including passages from other works where appropriate). In doing so, we will explore the epistemological, the moral and the political aspects of their theories of imagination.
