You guys better get off your asses and save the bees if you want to live as long as I have. Tick, tock. Time's running out. My theory is that the microwaves from cell phone towers are fucking up the bees' navigation/sense of direction.
Newest theory is that it's high-fructose corn syrup. They take the bees' honey and replace it with that, which lowers their immunity defenses and detoxification capacity against pesticides, which in turn lowers their defense against mites.

I wouldn't say your weight's all that bad for your height (I'm 6'2" and 210 would be pretty ideal, imo), but your numbers are all over the place. Did they give you a Vitamin D supplement or anything like that? You should probably be going outside for about 15 minutes a day with a supplement or some kind of regimen like that. Boca Burgers taste delicious. Try them. :o
So, I've started a blog to chronicle my journey of going back to college, and any thoughts/feelings about it along the way. Check it out, if you want! http://upcominghistorian.blogspot.com/
Ants. Ants,. ANTS EVERYWHERE. I HATE ANTS. my ocd has gone somewhat haywire due to the prevalence of bugs, here. IT'S NOT EVEN DIRTY WHY THE FUCK WONT YOU GO INVADE SOME OTHER HOUSE YOU FUCKING PESTS????!?!?!?!?! ok, I think I'm a little better, now that I've ranted.
lol. I just didn't really think it was something worth making its own thread about... I'd been nattering on about it for weeks now so I just figured safe enough to ramble about it in here where it wouldn't really be out of place or anything, lol.
I've discovered why people hate diets: they suck. It's like being in food prison - all I want is a steak and I can't have one. AND IT'S ONLY DAY 2.
I can cook. But I can't turn something into a steak that isn't juicy, delicious, dripping with luscious fat, marinaded, spiced with the finest grill spices, cooked over charcoal, and only then declared a steak
You can't cook if you can't transform ordinary meats into delicious bites that will never be forgotten. Pick up a recipe book, and try some Mexican cuisines. Marinate chicken with tomatillos, tomatoes, tequila, oil, cliantro. Get creative. A diet doesn't mean to starve yourself from all foods, its to cut out the unnecessary crap. You want to look like goatpig, or do you want to look like me?
It doesn't matter how well you can cook other things if all you have a craving for is one thing you can't have. NOTHING will live up to that craving except that ONE THING.
I can't eat anything with any real amounts of cholesterol and I have to watch out for calories. So the only meats I can have are baked chicken and baked ham. No bacon. No fried chicken. No hotwings. No slabs from a cow, be they steak, hamburger, or meatballs. No sausage. No pizza. No hoagies. No salad dressings except the lite ones. I can't even eat croutons. No salsa or bruschetta. No cheese. No bacon bits, or pasta salad. Heck, I can't even eat regular pasta now, it has to be a special type of pasta. No cookies. No chips. No ice cream. No onion rings. I can eat popcorn. And salad. That's about it. Low fat yogurt and oat bran cereal too I guess.
Maybe it's about time you start looking at the ingredients of natural stuff. More than half of the shit you posted is fried, if not beef. You can use italian dressing
I have no complaints at all. You still have to watch what you eat of course, but the right drug really lowers your cholesterol, to the point where you can occasionally indulge in heart attack food without worrying about it.
Syri, I'd say its time to invest in some ant traps...that, and look into some more non-chemical methods of controlling them too. Try the stuff in this article, it might help (and its all natural ). http://smallnotebook.org/2010/04/21/5-simple-natural-ant-control-remedies/
Apparently there's a Sailor Moon remake coming for the summer at some point (it's been delayed). Hawt.
my roommate accidentally knocked the screen out of our window and within 5 minutes there were three giant mosquitoes zipping around the room. i dont kill bugs so he had to do it. also, if you ever really want to see me scared, get me to notice a bee close to me. youll never see me move faster
at least there wouldnt be a bee to bee worried about thank you to these guys for getting that girl to take her shirt off i made a rough mix today if anyone (aka @Lost_In_Translation) wants to go on a musical journey http://tinyurl.com/d396yjc
So my aunt and uncle sprung on me that they want me to do a funereal pamphlet and a photo collage for the memorial service on sunday. So... I gotta put that together in the next 24 hours. And I'm no graphic artist. >.< wish me luck.
I found free software (called GIMP, thanks to @kiera2), and I found an image that was available as a free desktop background that I am using for the inside, figured out how to do boxes and faded edges and fuzzy borders. Now I just need the damned text, and to get my aunt to sit still long enough to help me scan pictures in to their system (no idea how to use their apple products), so that I can either save them to flashdrive and put on my machine, or xfer to myself over the network from their machines after I've scanned them in. But my aunt and uncle just went to bed.... so I have to wait to do any of that until tomorrow. I also have to go to the store to buy posterboard, and scan in the rest of the images I am going to put on the photo collage, and blow some up, so that they are all different sizes. Speaking of, I need to go comb through the photo albums for pictures to use. Soooooo... I'm off!
Well, going to be lonely for me for the next few weeks. My fiancee has to go home to keep her daughter in line (she refuses to go to school, and will fail her grade & end up w/ the police on the doorstep if she skips one more time), so I have to take her home either today or tomorrow. That means we'll only see each other two days a week
I don't go to too many restaurants. If it was her choice of eatery, that statement would probably be true. I have been on three first dates in 20 years. I would be more likely to ask about the ridiculous hobby (what is this hobby about? why are you into it? what got you into it?) than claim to know anything about it. I still live with them. I know dates don't wan to hear that, but they would have to find out sooner or later. Might as well get the uncomfortableness out of the way in the beginning. My last girlfriend broke up with me because she didn't like me. I didn't continue the fling I had 12 years later because she was crazy. I did notice the last women I asked out right away. A beautiful woman working the desk at my mechanic's shop? You bet your ass I noticed her. Noticed her right away at the gym years later too. I hate most horror movies. I would never say that. I would only say that if it were true. "Good to see you," if it weren't "I want to try more new things than I have in the past." I work out 5 or 6 days a week. This wouldn't be a lie. "I don't read much off the internet. Mostly forums and erotic stories. I've written a few of them too." "My job sucks. We don't get as many jobs as we should and I'm looking for a better place to work." I would be more likely to say "helpless" I don't drink alcohol. I don't think I have EVER said that... I save that one for when it is true. Otherwise I mention how bored I am. My first date lasted until 4:00 am. My second date I was on vacation. The third we were out until 4:00 am again. "My boss doesn't pay me much, and owes me a bunch, but I have enough squirreled away to get this." Been on one blind date (the second one). I barely talked to her after I found out she was under age. The first date I went on ended fantastically. The second I said, "See you around," hoping that I wouldn't. The third I said, "See you at Poker on Monday," and I did, and never called her again... Wouldn't be too difficult to top two of the three dates I have been on.
People would have to actively strive to hit 10k to get it done in only a month. 40 posts a day or something like that right? Doubtful.

Equip Yourself With Less Equipment!
3 7 Share TweetImagine that out of the blue you're bestowed with a really simple and basic camera and asked to create the best image ever. What will you think? Impossible? Well of course not, you're a Lomographer, honey! But, an Atlanta-based photographer, Zack Arias, dares to take this challenge!
When people hear the term Professional Photographer, expensive lens and cameras will surface in their minds. Zack Arias, as an editorial and commercial photographer, has only the basics among his photographic equipment and steers away from those expensive luxuries he "wants", but doesn't need.
What makes him disinterested in collecting equipment? Actually, Arias bought a massive amount of equipment during the early stage of his career of which financial problems resulted. Through this he was forced to walk away from photography for two whole years!
When he resumed where he left off in his photographic career he organized the "==One Light Workshop==" which aims to prevent others from repeating his mistakes. What he emphasizes is that it's still possible to create good images without expensive equipment.
He was recently in Hong Kong to participate in the "==Pro Photographer Cheap Camera Challenge==". Other than the lack of professional cameras, an additional challenge was to face the language barrier. But this didn't stop him from taking good pictures. It's because he understands a good photograph isn't necessarily dependent on how many professional equipment you have but on how you optimize and make good use of the limited materials you're given.
Here are the works of Arias for the challenge.
Don't get me wrong! I am not saying that equipment isn't important but we have to choose carefully! In our Online Shop descriptions are included beside each item so that every Lomographer may know more about their chosen cameras and accessories before they purchase!
Besides, the restricted amount of resources fuel the creative geniuses among us! What we have in our Tipster section are different suggestions and methods to re-use or D.I.Y, as submitted by experienced and experimental community members! Check them out! And you may be inspired by their creativity!
The inspiration of this article is from a Missoula Independent entry.

Ohio uses job creation tax credits to lure businesses to the state or to help businesses already here expand. Franklin County gets by far the most, receiving almost three times as much tax credit value as Hamilton County. Using this database, you can find the value of the tax credits your county gets, the number of promised jobs connected to those tax credits, the estimated payroll of those jobs and the average salary. The unknown row refers to tax credits that were awarded before a final county site was chosen for the project.

Speaking of Appel:
I've posted this before but I was watching it again for the hell of it. That guy really has a good changeup. He throws it a bunch of times in this, and it's to alot of swings and misses.

I think Appel is the best fit of the SP prospects at this point for the Cubs based on all the criteria they have said they are looking for. Frame, mechanics/repeatable delivery, throws strikes, great 3-pitch mix. I think Manaea is a close second, but he and Stanek still have some question marks with at least one of those criteria and have more to prove, but still could be great. Not to mention, Appel is definitely going to be closer to MLB-ready when the draft rolls around IMO.

The highest ranked one is going to be Zunino most likely, but if Appel had been drafted he'd probably would have been comparable. Then again Stotle over on Orioleshangout.com works for BA and thinks Gausman may end up in the top 15 prospects in baseball, so it might be him.
Now that I think about it, Almora has a shot at being the guy right after Zunino on the lists. I suspect Zimmer or Gausman would the call at this point.
I expect Almora to be probably the 3rd or 4th highest ranked player from the draft, not counting Appel.
Mack'sMets Mack interviewed legit LHSP Kent Emanuel of UNC and there was something interesting there:
Mack – I'm glad you brought up your 'travel team'. Scouts tell me more and more emphasis is being placed every year on scouting these teams rather than schools, based on the quality of competition. Do you agree?
Kent - Yes I completely agree. I am just drawing from my own experience of course but I really do believe if one was to watch the top travel ball teams play then watch the top high school teams play, it would be pretty clear that the top travel teams play at a higher level. It just makes sense that way, travel ball teams get to pick and choose their players from wherever, while high school teams are limited only to those who attend their school.

Mark Appel write up on PG from 2012:
(1/16/12): At 6-foot-6 and 210 pounds, with a fastball that has approached 100 mph, Appel is a near-lock to be one of the first 2-3 picks in the 2012 draft—perhaps No. 1 if he can pitch this spring at Stanford like he did in his final outing last summer in the Cape Cod League. In a 4-0 win over Orleans in the opening round of the playoffs, Appel thoroughly dominated for eight innings, walking two, allowing five hits and striking out 10. His arm was electric with a fastball that was consistently at 97-98 mph, and two above-average secondary pitches in his slider and circle changeup. He mixed all three pitches effectively, and was able to work each to all parts of the strike zone efficiently with an extremely free and easy arm action. His poise and aggressive approach to pitching were also prominently on display. It was just Appel's third start of the summer for Yarmouth-Dennis, but he pitched comparatively every time out for the Red Sox, though didn't earn a win until his final outing. In 12 regular-season innings, he was 0-1, 2.25 with a walk and 15 strikeouts. Appel was late joining Y-D because he reported directly to USA Baseball's college national team, and spent the bulk of his summer there. Though his 5.00 ERA was the highest on that squad and stemmed mostly from surrendering a grand slam in his only start, he was the most-dominant arm on that pitching staff, as well, with a fastball that was a steady 92-95 mph, but also touched 98 several times, and 99 once. Balls typically explode out of Appel's hand and he has good life on his pitches in the strike zone, though had a tendency as a sophomore at Stanford and again during the summer with Team USA to leave them up and over the plate too often, and got hit more often than a pitcher with his impressive raw stuff should. In 110 innings for the Cardinal, he allowed 114 hits while walking 29, striking out 86 and going 6-7, 3.02. But if his command was an issue then, he may have gone a long way towards addressing it with his series of dominating performances on the Cape Appel should become more of a dominant pitcher as he refines his raw stuff, especially his changeup, but may never be a true strikeout artist as what already sets him apart as a pitching prospect and makes him so advanced for a hard thrower is he doesn't purposely try to strike out every hitter. He would prefer to use any of his pitches in any count rather than simply blow a hitter away with his big fastball. One of three or even four potential first-rounders from Stanford in this year's draft, Appel would have been drafted much higher than the 15th round in 2009 out of a Northern California high school had he not been considered a high signability risk because of his near-binding commitment to attend Stanford. He struggled for the Cardinal as a freshman (2-1, 5.92, 38 IP, 19 BB/26 SO), working mostly in relief, but his career took off as a starter that summer for Newport of the New England Collegiate League, when his fastball routinely reached 96-97 mph and he was selected that league's top prospect. One summer later, Appel enhanced his status as the early favorite to be the No. 1 pick in the 2012 draft.
It just keeps coming back to Appel being remarkably easy to hit for a guy with his ability. It's concerning.
This is from a Mooney piece
In other words. It doesn't matter who's closer to the MLB. It matters who has the highest ceiling. Which one has a ceiling of a true #1 ace with lights out stuff? Now ofcourse maybe none of them have it. But would you rather have a #2 in 2014 or a #1 ace in 2016 and beyond?The Cubs continue to say they aren't going to cut corners, so don't expect them to draft a college pitcher with 2015 in mind, hoping he could rocket through the system. They are going to make what they think is the best long-term investment.
I wasn't saying they would pick him because he'd be close to MLB-ready. I was just saying I think he'll be closer to MLB than anyone else and that would be nice, but I know they are going who pick who they think is best. There's still a whole season to help figure all this stuff out.
I know, I was trying to convince you, it is much much better to pick the guy who the front office feels is gonna be the absolute stud as opposed to who's closer. Because you sounded like you wanted Appel more based on his readiness. The reason I like Mannea right now is bc TY had said currently the Cubs have Mannea #1 and I trust our scouting guys. So that tells me atleast right now, to them Mannea has that higher ceiling.
I would love to pick Manaea as well and will trust the Cubs scouting completely. I think Manaea could easily be my top choice when the draft rolls around, but I want to see how he handles this season and whether or not he dominates like he should. The MLB-readiness thing is really just a bonus for any draft pick.
Purely speculation on Mooney's part. Chicago preaches this, but they are focused on getting as good as they can as quickly as they can. This is why I think you can all but pencil in Appel as the pick at number two. Boras essentially burned all of his bridges to Houston and unless they lower their demands, which is highly unlikely, I'd put the chances of the Astro's picking him as of right now at about 5%. It's a non secret within the industry right now that the Cubs are gunning for something big next off season. Appel is a guy that should be prepped for a call up at the latest in mid-late 2014. That being said the team loves the prospects of a Price-Samardzija-Garza-Jackson-Appel rotation by that time and is what they are gunning for.

After several months of limbo, Facebook has finally decided to re-implement the recently used applications menu. The new Facebook profile design initially had the "recently used" list in the applications dropdown on the top menu bar, but when the applications menu was repositioned into the bottom-left corner with the onset of application bookmarking, it was removed.
The primary purpose of the menu is to help users find applications they have recently visited but may not have bookmarked for one reason or another. Facebook is leaving the possibility open for further improvements if testing warrants it.
From a developer's point of view, this is a welcomed change. Almost three months has passed (along with a 6-page forum thread) since the popular opinion to resurrect the old menu first surfaced. However, due to this change, recent dev tool improvments, and improved communication from the Platform Team, the general opinion on the developer forums has taken a positive turn.

Which will be a funny exercise because of that AC97 codec hanging off one of the lines. I guess it gives me enough incentive to put it on my to-do list for not such a distant future. ;-) It's a pity they did not wire the clock lines (TxC, RxC) to the serial port connectors (I guess PCB space was more important) -- it would have given me yet more incentive...

.NET Actor Model Implementations Differ in Approach
Last week Vaughn Vernon published Dotsero, a .NET actor model toolkit that follows the Akka API and earlier this year a preview of the Orleans framework based on the Actor model was released by Microsoft Research. In a recent twitter discussion Vaughn and Sergey Bykov, lead of the Orleans project at Microsoft Research, discussed the different approaches taken in Orleans and Dotsero.
Reactive Streams with Akka Streams
Typesafe has announced the early preview of Akka Streams, an open source implementation of the Reactive Streams draft specification using an Actor-based implementation. Reactive Streams is an initiative to provide a standard for asynchronous stream processing with non-blocking back pressure on the JVM. Back pressure in needed to make sure the data producer doesn't overwhelm the data consumer.
Akka Actors vs. Java EJBs from a High-Level Concurrency Perspective
There are both commonalities and some differences when comparing architectural principles and coding styles in Akka Actors and Java EE 7 Enterprise JavaBeans, specifically stateless session beans and JMS message-driven beans, Dr Gerald Loeffler concludes in a recent introductory talk when explaining and comparing the three approaches from a high-level concurrency view.
Vaughn Vernon: Reactive Domain-Driven Design
Vaughn Vernon, author of Implementing Domain-Driven Design, recently talked about using Scala and the Actor Model implementation Akka together with Doman-Driven Design as a means to remove some of the architecture overhead typically found in event-driven or hexagonal architectures.
Actors Made Easy with C# and TPL DataFlow
For some design problems actors can make all the difference. An Actor is an independent entity that can respond to and send messages. In a way it is like its own little program running inside another process. But building actors in languages that don't natively support them can be difficult, but Johan Olsson found a way to simplify the process using TPL DataFlow.
MapReduce with ActorFx
A new preview of ActorFx has been released with support for MapReduce-type algorithms.
Introducing ActorFx, a Cloud Based Actor Runtime
Developed by MS Open Tech, a subsidiary of Microsoft, ActorFx intends to offer a "non-prescriptive, language-independent model of dynamic distributed objects."
Dempsy – a New Real-time Framework for Processing BigData
A new open source project – Dempsy adds one more option for people trying to do real time processing of big data. Comparable to Storm and S4 Dempsy is most applicable to near real time stream processing where latency is more important than guaranteed delivery.
Akka 1.1 Released, Brings Many Improvements to Futures and Performance, Reduces Dependencies,
Akka 1.1 was released with many improvements in performance, Futures and more. The basic Akka also has no dependencies except for Scala 2.9. InfoQ caught up with Jonas Bonér to talk about the current state and the future of Akka.
Akka Reaches 1.0 Status: Brings the Actor Model to Java and Scala
Project lead Jonas Bonér has announced today that Akka has reached its 1.0 milestone. InfoQ spoke to Bonér to find out more about the project.
Akka - Simpler Scalability, Fault-Tolerance, Concurrency & Remoting through Actors
Today, the Akka team released version 0.7 of their actors framework for the Java Virtual Machine. Akka attempts to address future concurrency challenges with a solution relying on message based actors, software transactional memory and appropriate fault handling strategies. InfoQ talked to Jonas Bonér about the intent behind Akka, its current state and adoption, and future plans.
A Type System for Scala Actors to Enforce Race Safety Without Sacrificing Performance
Philipp Haller and Martin Odersky introduce a type system that enables safe massage transfer in Scala actors. Formalized as an extension of the EPFL Scala compiler, "Object Capability Types" system, based on capability checking and external uniqueness, enforces race safety without sacrificing performance and removes significant limitations on message shape imposed by existing approaches.
Goat Rodeo: A Unified Data Model for Web Applications
David Pollak, found of the Lift web framework and "Beginning Scala" author, has announced a new initiative "Goat Rodeo" that aims to bring data modeling into the 21st century.

Greg Evigan Biographical Information
Evigan is better known for his work in three television hits: 1979's B.J. and the Bear, where he starred as B.J. McKay, a truck driver whose best friend was a chimpanzee named Bear, 1987's My Two Dads in which a teenage girl is raised by two past boyfriends of her deceased mother together when it can't be determined which is the father (My Two Dads lasted until 1990), and the mid-1990s sci-fi hit TekWar based on a series of books by Star Trek elder statesman William Shatner (who also co-starred). TekWar originated as a series of television movies in 1994 and then became a series in 1995.
It was with B.J. and the Bear (which actually began in 1978 as a made for television movie) that Evigan reached pop star status, and he began receiving cover from such magazines as Tiger Beat, Teen Beat and many other magazines geared towards teenaged girls.

Girl next door types are rampant in the heterosexual porn industry, but what of the boys? Don't the average, everyday fellas also get a shot at fulfilling their waiting fans' fantasies? At Next Door Buddies, you'll see so-called "guys next door" making very friendly with each other over a steaming hot cup of buttfuck. That's right, folks, Next Door Buddies takes your (not-so) average young gay man, toned and totally sexy, and pairs him with another (sometimes others) for a randy good time. Won't you stop by for a visit?
Large-breasted women have been stared at and lusted after by men since the dawn of time. Whether it's for purely aesthetic reasons or due to some deep-seated primal instinct for successful human reproduction, every guy loves a large-breasted woman. Big Naturals, then, should be on every guys list of must-see sites. It offers 500 scenes of boobtastic hardcore fucking starring everyone from rank amateurs to the most seasoned professionals of the porn business, and with stunning HD videos now reaching 1080p resolutions, and with network access to every Reality Kings site thrown in for good measure, Big Naturals is still going very, very strong.
Lez Cuties is a name that immediately conjures up images of delightful, adorable young ladies cavorting around in the nude and letting their fingers and tongues to the same; and that's exactly what Lez Cuties offers, along with fisting, anal gaping, huge dildo penetrations, and lots of other sinfully sexy stuff. The girls are young adult hotties who appear to be Russian, Hungarian, Ukrainian, and from a whole mess of other Eastern European nations, so if you like your sapphic smut Euro-styled and sexually adventurous, Lez Cuties could very well be the solution to all your Earthly problems, at least where porn is concerned.
Unless you've batted for both teams, you, a straight male (I presume) are probably unaware of just how difficult deepthroating an erect penis can actually be. Marvel, then, at the incredible cock-sucking skills of the women of Throated, the most ferociously adventurous fellatio site on the My XXX Pass network. Updating weekly with a new HD ball-draining session, Throated sees porn's deepest mouths impale themselves on intimidating cocks, slobbering and spitting and drooling and gagging everywhere as they do. Trust me, Throated's a treat!
Short of heading to South or Central America for your own personal pussy hunt, 8th Street Latinas presents you with the most promising opportunity for nailing (vicariously, of course) some gorgeous Latin broad in a variety of positions, locations, and orifices. Brought to you by the famed Reality Kings network, 8th Street Latinas is packed with amateur and professional adult performers whose bodies, sexualities, and lust for satisfaction are all as caliente as each other. With HD videos, weekly updates, a large archive, and bonus access to all 39 Reality Kings sites, 8th Street Latinas isn't just a Latin-themed hardcore site, it's the only Latin-themed hardcore site that really matters.
From giant plasma-filled superflat televisions to the most heavily digitized movie-watching experience in history, everyone's clamoring for High Definition video and, sure, why not? Vowing to deliver porn so vibrant and lush it'll make a 2010 feature look like a Golden Age classic, Fuck in HD hosts the latest and greatest in European hardcore. And, wrapping it all in a near-perfect 1080p HD container, it's a fucking feast of flesh-colored pixels here at Fuck in HD!
Pride Studios doesn't involve lions or self-affirming statements of resolve and conviction in a belief system, just hardcore gay sex in many varieties. Home to seven exclusive websites ranging in focus from young dudes to daddies, aggressive sex to mutual masturbation, group experimentation to giant-dicked studs with ample experience fucking fresh newbie boy-pussy 'til they explode. With HD videos, frequent updates, a large archive, and the likes of Dylan Lucas, Marxel Rios, and Osiris Blade fucking their brains out here, Pride Studios has a lot to be proud of.
Receiving a massage doesn't have to be a vaguely uncomfortable experience that sees you trying to hide your body from your burly, rough-handed masseuse. At Massage Girls 18, you can see an altogether different take on this hands-on therapy, one that has nubile young women oiling up their clients before running their hands over every muscle, joint, and aching area. This being a porn website, they don't stop there, of course, and are soon massaging something altogether stiffer and more likely to erupt. Folks, if you can't get behind this kind of massage, I don't know how to help you.

COLUMBIA — The Rock Bridge girls basketball team will try to do what all good teams do: forget about a tough loss.
"We've put the loss behind us," Rock Bridge coach Jill Nagel said. "We've moved on, and we are refocused and ready to take on Boonville." Coming off a difficult 44-37 loss to rival Hickman on Wednesday, the No. 6 Bruins (13-5) will look to rebound when they go on the road to face the Boonville Pirates (10-5) at 6 p.m. on Friday.
"I think we need to just come out and focus on ourselves and get back to the basics," Nagel said.
The road is nothing new to the Bruins, who started the season with seven consecutive road games and did not play their first home contest until Dec. 13.
Experience is important when playing on the road, and the Bruins have no shortage in that department. Seniors Claire Schaeperkoetter, M.E. Kanago, Andrea Seabaugh and Kelia Hardin lead the Bruins.
When the two teams faced off last season, the Bruins easily handled the Pirates, winning 64-36. Rock Bridge has won seven of its past 10 games, while Boonville is ona four-game losing streak.

Is this your business? Update now
Contact details Are these details correct?
I am a holistic breeder which means I do not use chemicals or drugs when raising my puppies. I use different natural things which you can read about on my website.
Many vets recommend immunizations while the puppies are quite young and this damages their immune system. No puppy should ever be immunized before the age of 14 weeks as it still has natural immunity from their mama, no matter what age they are weaned.
There has also never been any studies done on re-vaccinating a puppy/dog. It is the vaccine manufactures who recommend it. Most shots last a lifetime and some last 7 years. It is very damaging to keep giving them shots that are doing nothing but setting up your pet to have problems down the road. It is very harmful and many vets believe it is the reason so many dogs are dying from cancer, have skin problems,etc...
Most states have a law that states that the only vaccine required is the rabies vaccine and this is to be done at 4 months of age or older to get a license.
I believe in building up their immune systems instead of damaging it. See more about all this on my website.
Many vets also like breeders to have their puppies on 2 different antibiotics as a preventative. For viruses, etc... This is not a healthy practice as it also lowers their immune system. There are many natural things you can use.
I raise non shedding/hypoallergenic small dogs.
They are not yippy or yappy and are great with kids.
They are smart and easy to train.
My puppies are family raised in my home. They get lots of love and attention as I have many children.
My puppies are beautiful and healthy. They have beautiful glossy coats and clear eyes.
I also sell alot of holistic products for animals and fun stuff too!
Air travel arrangements can be arranged for your puppy if need be. It is quite safe if you use the proper air line. I live in Michigan.
Let me know if Can help you with anything!Maryjo

3. There is no C
Windows users are used to a file-system structure that never really made sense. Linux, on the other hand, has a perfectly logical directory hierarchy — a fact new users need to understand. There really is only one main directory they need to know about: /home/username, where username is their name.
Most modern distributions create certain directories in the user's home directory: Documents, Pictures, Music and Video. The purpose of these subdirectories is obvious, and new users only need know where they are located. They also need to know that their home directory is the only place on the file system where they can save files.

McCLAIN CEMETERY, (near Maury line) LEWIS COUNTY TENNESSEE
KENNEDY, James William, 12 Oct 1857 - 8 Jun 1949, son of Weakley Gordon and Sarah Ann Stockard. Jim Kennedy was first married Sarah Ellen Pickard on 22 Sept. 1885. She died November 17, 1886 and is probably buried here in an unmarked grave. Jim's second wife was Nancy Elizabeth Hunt. His father, Weakley, was a Civil War soldier and died in St. Louis, Missouri as a prisoner of the Union Army. He is buried at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery. Jim's mother, Sarah Ann, married three more times after Weakley's death. She married James N. Pugh, Wesley Scribner, and finally, Caleb S. Williams. She is buried at McClain Cemetery in an unmarked grave, just below Jim's grave, beside her twin grandsons, Otto and Otis Kennedy. Update: A new memorial was added recently to celebrate the life of Sarah Ann Stockard by her descendents. [2/5/2005, Mary Bob Richardson, updated by WA] Photo & Information by Rick Gray 1/11/03.

Look like you've done a great job, thanks.
The New Site is (Finally!) Here
At long last, the new site is ready for launch!
We're very proud and excited about it. There's a lot to bring you up to speed on, so let's dive right in.
First: while we migrate over to the new site over the next several days, this PeakProsperity.com site will be frozen in "read only" mode -- meaning you won't be able to post comments to articles or Forum threads, or purchase an enrollment.
The migration process should take 2-3 days. Once it's completed, the new site will replace this one. We're hoping everything is up and running by Friday (but you never know how complicated switchovers like this will go, so please keep your fingers crossed!).
Second: here's what WON'T be changing with the new site -- all of the past PeakProsperity.com content will be available on the new site. All of the articles, comments, guides, Forum threads, etc on the site today will still readily be found after we make the site switchover.
You should look at this new site as keeping all of the things you like about PeakProsperity.com, AND adding a bunch of new improvements and features to make the experience even better.
Third: so what should you expect from the new site?
Well, it's probably just easier to show you. Take a few minutes to watch the video below, which gives an overview of the new site (and the new brand!). FYI: it's much easier to view in "full screen" mode:
[swf file="http://media.PeakProsperity.com/video/video-tour1-final1.mp4" width="640" height="360" flashvars="image=https://s3.amazonaws.com/cm-us-standard/images/blue-sunburst2.jpg&stretching=fill"]
(To see a hi-resolution image of the new site, click here.)
More Resources for Building Resiliency
A *major* goal of the new site is to offer much more support to those looking to build resiliency at the personal or community level.
To that end, we've created a channel within the new site specifically dedicated to this. It puts all of the resiliency-building content from PeakProsperity.com into one, centralized place -- plus complements it with powerful new tools and features.
The video below will give you a good picture of what I'm talking about. Remember to view in "full screen" mode, if possible:
[swf file="http://media.PeakProsperity.com/video/video-tour2-final1.mp4" width="640" height="360" flashvars="image=https://s3.amazonaws.com/cm-us-standard/images/blue-sunburst2.jpg&stretching=fill"]
Groups & Wikis
In particular, the new Groups and Wiki features are worthy of highlight. For years, site readers have been asking us to help them find and connect with like-minded people in their local areas. Now you can.
And readers have long lamented that the Definitive threads in the Forums have become too unwieldy; that they're so long now that it's become too cumbersome to sift through the hundreds of comments. The new Wikis are designed to capture and concisely present the communal expertise of this site community.
You can get a better sense of the new Groups and Wiki features by watching this short video clip:
[swf file="http://media.PeakProsperity.com/video/video-tour3-final.mp4" width="640" height="360" flashvars="image=https://s3.amazonaws.com/cm-us-standard/images/blue-sunburst2.jpg&stretching=fill"]
This new site represents more than a year's effort by a very dedicated team to evolve and improve the website experience based on your feedback. We hope we've done our job well -- but let us know what you think. When the new site is live, there will be a "Feedback" button on the left hand side. Please take a moment to share your reaction with us -- especially if you encounter any glitches!
We're thrilled and proud to bring PeakProsperity.com to you. And we're extremely excited about how much we will all be able to do together using this new platform to build awareness of the Three Es among larger and larger audiences, and to encourage and enable more and more individuals and communities to take informed action.
See you on the new site!

I can't wait.
I'll still be tracking the latest news, but the Comments section will be down for a couple of days. Any ideas as to where to post until then?
The new site looks very good. Travlin
Why won't my user name and password work at peak prosperity.com?
Sweet! Glad to see this new site. I look forward to reading the wikis and participating in groups!
Thanks Adam. Things in Europe are getting rather interesting and this way we don't miss anything important.
PeakProsperity.com is in the process of being replaced by PeakProsperity.com. This transition, which has just started, will take about 2-3 days.
During the transition period, only PeakProsperity.com will be available to the general public. But, it will be in "read only" mode - you won't be able to contribute to the site (make comments, etc).
It sounds like you've gone directly to www.peakprosperity.com. If you have, you've been asked for log-in credentials to access the site. That's because it's not available to the public during this short transition period.
If all goes well, by the end of the week PeakProsperity.com will go away and be replaced with PeakProsperity.com. And Peak Prosperity will be open and accessible to the general public.
Even if you type in the www.PeakProsperity.com URL, you'll be redirected to the new Peak Prosperity site.
In the interim, you can get a pretty good sense for what to expect from the new site by watching the videos provided in the post above.
Hope this helps.
Wow. Is that professional or wot?
How about a spell checker for the comments GUI? It will save me much embarassment.
Change is good. Change is exciting. It's even better when it can be labeled an "improvement". This looks GREAT. I'm especially impressed by the new title "Peak Prosperity". It will be so much easier to suggest that to folks, rather than "Go to CM.com and see the Crash Course. Crisis burnout and the bummer effect, etc. But focusing on the potential for a higher quality of life if one prepares is a more engaging and positive sell. This is gonna be great. Thanks in advance to all the CM crew for making this happen for us! Hawaiian vacations for all of you! Aloha, Steve.
Looks Great!
Dear Adam and CM Folk,
Just a quickie to say congratgulations on the new site and all your hard work. First impressions are it looks great - and far easier to navigate.
I'm looking forward to exploring the new features.
Best wishes

Early trauma, chronic fatigue link found
Trauma during childhood could predispose the sufferer to chronic fatigue syndrome as an adult, researchers at Emory University in Atlanta found.
In a report in Tuesday's Archives of General Psychiatry, researchers said they found 62 percent of adults with chronic fatigue syndrome suffered a childhood trauma such as neglect or abuse, compared with 24 percent of adults who hadn't experienced such trauma, USA Today reported.
Chronic fatigue syndrome is unexplained exhaustion, aches and pains that last more than six months, said Janet Squires, director of the Child Advocacy Center at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, who wasn't part of the study.
It's eye-opening to see that things that go wrong in childhood might impact people for the rest of their lives,
Squires told USA Today.
Study author Christine Heim said relatively few trauma survivors develop chronic fatigue, which affects about 2.5 percent of the adult population. Research also indicates the syndrome could be caused by an infection or immune system problem, she says.
While the study linked trauma and chronic fatigue, Heim said it wasn't designed to prove that trauma actually causes the condition. To better prove the link, researchers must do a forward-looking
study in which they follow trauma survivors for many years, she said.
Heim said her study also found a possible biological explanation. Adults with chronic fatigue had lower levels of a stress hormone called cortisol, as do many people with post-traumatic stress disorder.

As the time for sewer hook-ups approaches, the Stewart's Creek area of Hyannis is also getting attention from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
In the New England District's Massachusetts Update, the Corps reports that it will issue a construction contract this summer for an aquatic ecosystem restoration project. The work will increase flushing and reduce eutrophication and sediment accumulation, according to the Corps.
