Other than omitting fragrance, this body lotion is identical to Lubriderm's Men's 3-in-1 Lotion Light Fragrance. The "3-in-1" portion of this body lotion's name refers to Lubriderm's recommendation that it can be used on the face and body and as an after-shave. Sounds great, but, in fact, any moisturizer can be used this way, so it's not a big deal.
Lubriderm isn't breaking any new ground with this mineral oil–based body lotion, but its formula, while not the most exciting, is better than the majority of their other body lotions.
Typically, men's products are inferior to those marketed to women, but in this case Lubriderm is giving men an advantage with a formula that bests their products aimed at female consumers.
This body lotion contains an appreciable amount of vitamin E along with some standard but helpful ingredients for normal to dry skin. The inclusion of minerals may strike a chord with those caught up in the mineral craze, but regardless of gender, minerals aren't of much benefit to skin when applied topically.
More info:
Although this moisturizer claims to meet your dry skin's needs in a single bottle, it doesn't come through. For example, this product doesn't contain sunscreen, so you're not getting critical sun protection, and it doesn't offer other skin-enhancing benefits such as exfoliation, which can noticeably improve dryness. Guys, it takes more than a single bottle of any product to obtain and maintain healthy, younger-looking skin.
Simplify your daily skincare routine with Lubriderm Men's 3-in-1 Lotion. This specialized fragrance free lotion, with minerals and essential moisturizers found in men's skin, can be used as a body, face, and post-shave lotion. This lightweight, fast-absorbing formula moisturizes and soothes skin, so now your dry skin's needs can be met with a single bottle.
Water, Mineral Oil, Glycerin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetyl Alcohol, Panthenol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Potassium Lactate, Copper Gluconate, Zinc Gluconate, Magnesium Aspartate, Sodium Citrate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Stearic Acid, Dimethicone, Petrolatum, Ethylhexylglycerin, Carbomer, Ceteareth-20, DMDM Hydantoin, Sodium Hydroxide, Citric Acid, Propylene Glycol, Titanium Dioxide
Lubriderm At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive; some fragrance-free body lotions; Lubriderm provides complete product ingredient lists on its Web site.
Weaknesses: Mostly outdated formulas that lack a range of skin-repairing ingredients; the body lotion with SPF 15 does not provide sufficient UVA protection; not much distinction between formulas, especially in the Daily Moisture range.
Among body lotion brands, Lubriderm is recognizable at drugstores and grocery stores around the world. Unfortunately, most of their formulas are about as exciting as watching grass grow! Instead of providing dry, itchy skin with a range of state-of-the-art ingredients proven to offer lasting benefits, Lubriderm stops short at the basics, with formulas that echo back to the 1960s.
What Lubriderm leaves out are the ingredients that would supply your skin with a healthy dose of antioxidants, skin-repairing ingredients, or cell-communicating ingredients. All these types of ingredients can actually "repair" skin, not just put a Band-Aid® on the problem of dry skin.
Lubriderm products are not bad, but it's like using a typewriter instead of a computer. Simply put, science has advanced skin care far beyond what Lubriderm formulas provide.
Lubriderm's price point is attractive, but saving money isn't always the end game. Besides, there are other inexpensive brands whose impressive body moisturizer formulas mean you don't have to settle for less. At the drugstore, check out the options from CeraVe, Olay, and St. Ives or online from Paula's Choice for stellar inexpensive examples. Actually, the previously mentioned are some of the best examples around because even the expensive body products often omit the advanced ingredients.

Medal record
Bart Conner (born March 28, 1958, in Chicago, Illinois) is an American former gymnast who, as a member of the gold medal-winning men's gymnastics team at the 1984 Summer Olympic Games won an individual gold on the parallel bars. Conner was also the 1979 World Champion on the parallel bars.
Conner currently owns and operates the Bart Conner Gymnastics Academy[1] in Norman, Oklahoma along with his wife, Romanian gold medalist Nadia Comăneci. He is also a commentator for televised gymnastics events and an editor of International Gymnast Magazine.
Conner was also part of the 1976 and 1980 USA Olympic gymnastics teams. He won the World Cup in 1979, and the American Cup in 1976, 1980, and 1981. He has been inducted into several Halls of Fame, including those of the US Olympic Committee, USA Gymnastics, International Gymnastics, and Oklahoma Sports. He was inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame in 2012.[2]
Early career[edit]
Active in sports as a child, Conner started gymnastics at the age of ten, after a school physical education coach noticed his talent. He began training with the Niles West High School team and competing in local meets, where he progressed quickly but seldom won. After a few years, he also began training and competing at the local YMCA. Conner's first significant gymnastics victory was the 1972 AAU Junior Olympics, followed soon after in 1974 by the USGF Junior National Championships. Immediately following his high school graduation in 1976, he went on to join the United States team as its youngest member at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal.
He attended Niles West High School in Skokie, Illinois. He was on the gymnastics team at Niles West, where he set records that haven't been broken to this day. During his senior year at Niles West he was not allowed to compete, because he competed in the Olympics for his country and thus missed too many school days to be eligible.
Conner attended the University of Oklahoma to work with coach Paul Ziert on the gymnastics team, which was then ranked 19th nationally by the NCAA. In 1981, Conner won the Nissen Award (the "Heisman" of men's gymnastics).[3]
According to Ziert, Conner is relatively unsuited physically for gymnastics due to his relative lack of spinal flexibility, and his weakness in tumbling skills. However, Ziert is quick to add, Conner's motivation and dedication to the sport combined with his other physical abilities helped him quickly advance to the world-class level. In 1979, he won the parallel bars event at the World Championships with an original move called the "Conner Spin." In this move, the gymnast performs a complete 360-degree turn on one bar in a straddled position, and then presses to a handstand.
Much of Conner's early career was seen as a rivalry between him and fellow American Kurt Thomas, another top competitor whose style differed from Conner's. Thomas, more physically gifted than Conner, impressed judges with his explosive strength and high degree of difficulty in his routines; Conner's strengths were in his solid consistency and artistic presentation. The media made much of this rivalry, and though the two were good friends, the publicity around their rivalry and media exaggeration incited ill feeling between them for a time.
Conner was the first qualifier for the 1980 Olympic gymnastics team, and did not support the US boycott of the Games. He made several media appearances in which he described the boycott as "futile," and protested the Olympics being used for political purposes. However, due to a torn biceps he suffered during the Olympic Trials, it is unlikely he would have performed well had he competed. Because he continued training after this injury, his recovery took more than a year. In December 1983, competing at the Chunichi Cup, Conner tore his left biceps during his rings routine. Due to several bone chips floating around his elbow, his arm mobility was limited, which placed undue stress on the muscles of the upper arm during the strenuous activities of competitive gymnastics.
1984 Olympics[edit]
Following surgery and intensive physical therapy, Conner squeaked onto the 1984 Olympic team, after competing in only one of the two qualifying events: the Olympic Trials. He had tried to qualify in the earlier National Championships, but several serious falters, including a headfirst landing on the floor exercise, made it clear that he had not yet made a full recovery. Conner was granted a petition by the USGF to consider only the Trials scores, with which he was selected for the team.
After intense training to return to the competitive level he had reached before his injury, Conner's consistently good scores (including a perfect 10 on the parallel bars) helped the US men's team earn its first team gold. Conner took sixth place in the individual all-around competition, with his total separated from gold medalist Koji Gushiken by .35 points.
He qualified for two individual event finals: floor exercise and parallel bars. He had a lackluster floor exercise, scoring a 9.75 for fifth place. In the parallel bars final just hours later, he scored a perfect 10 to win the event.
Former rival Kurt Thomas, who had retired from gymnastics, was a commentator for ABC Sports. Coach Paul Ziert saw his assessments of Conner's performance as being more fair and accurate than any others'.
After the Olympics[edit]
Conner and Nadia Comăneci were engaged on November 12, 1994, (Nadia's 33rd birthday), and married on April 27, 1996, in Bucharest, Romania. The couple first met at the 1976 American Cup, where Conner won the men's, and Comăneci the women's title. They reconnected in 1991, when Comăneci fled Romania. They currently own the Bart Conner Gymnastics Academy, Perfect 10 Production Company, and several sports equipment shops, and are editors of International Gymnast magazine. They also are heavily involved in charity work. Conner is also a gymnastics commentator, and accepts speaking engagements.
Conner became a father when Comăneci gave birth to their first child, a boy named Dylan Paul Conner, on the morning of June 3, 2006 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Dylan was born three weeks early, weighing in at just 4 lbs. However, Dylan left the hospital after a short stay and immediately thrived.
Conner appeared in films in 1986 and 2006. In 1986, he played a character named Bart in the cult BMX film Rad. In 2006, he appeared as himself in two movies about gymnastics, Stick It and Peaceful Warrior. Connor also appeared on the TV show, Make It or Break It, as a World Championship commentator, along with his wife Nadia Comăneci, in the season 2 final episode in Rio.
In 1997 Conner was inducted into the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame.[4]
Charity work[edit]
Conner has long been associated with the Muscular Dystrophy Association and the annual Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon, which raises private and corporate donations to fight neuromuscular diseases. Conner and his spouse make regular television appearances during the Labor Day telethon, both on the live national feeds, and in local broadcast segments from his hometown of Chicago on television station WGN-TV channel 9, which is also carried nationally on cable and satellite feeds through WGN America.
Conner has also been a longtime supporter of Special Olympics. He is currently vice-chair of the Special Olympics International Board of Directors.[5]

text: Did you ever get change back from a vendor and notice that one of your bills has some kind of hilarious drawing or quote written across it? It's rare that these bills go un-noticed, so what if we used money to spread a message and take back our democracy? StampStampede has come up with a brilliant idea to stamp messages on currency in support of passing a constitutional amendment to Get Money Out of Politics. Each bill printed in the U.S. passes through 875 hands, on average, so if just 1 person stamps one bill per day for 1 year, it could reach 300,000 people, which means it would only take 1,000 to reach the entire U.S. population!

Mixed R&D incentives: the effect of R&D subsidies on patented inventions
Title: | Mixed R&D incentives: the effect of R&D subsidies on patented inventions |
Author: | Schneider, Cedric |
Abstract: | This paper analyzes the effects of mixed public-private R&D incentives and empirically tests whether patents that were publicly sponsored are more important than non-subsidized ones. Blending patents and public subsidies will allow the funding agency to subsidize inventions that would otherwise not elicit investment because the private incentive will not fully cover the cost of the invention. Thus, the policy maker will only subsidize inventions that have a high social value. The empirical analysis shows that subsidized inventions result in more important patents, as measured by the number of forward citations. |

I would think you'd want to pad your data on both ends by half the window size then compute the moving average over the original data. I don't know what function you are using to compute the Moving average but movingAverage[theSeries_, theWindowSize_] := Plus[##]/theWindowSize &@@@Partition[theSeries,theWindowSize,Quotient[theWindowSize, 2], {-Ceiling[theWindowSize/2], Ceiling[theWindowSize/2]}, 0] will pad the data with zeroes on both ends and compute the moving average. Of course if your data size is large and the window is small this expression will not be memory efficient. In that case if you have a memory efficient moving average routine just pad the data before computing the averages: MA[theSeries_,theWindowSize_]: =MovingAverage[PadRight[PadLeft[theSeries,Ceiling[theWindowSize/ 2],Ceiling[theWindowSize/2]],theWindowSize] Incidentally you want to use := not =. Regards, Ssezi

Since we are on the topic of WWII planes, B-25 taken out of a SC lake after 66 years. Amazing how clean it is.
A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.
George S. Patton
Please do not feed the troll. Trolls have special diets, properly balanced for nutritional needs. For their health and your safety, do not feed them anything.
Haha apparently not! Website says there's only like 4 surviving airframes in the world, rest are scrapped. I mean, the scope of this thing is ridiculous. Look at these pictures:That is by FAR the coolest thing I've ever seen. I can't even fathom. There were NO better examples to start with? lol.
This plane was posted about in the Aviation and Space thread a week or so ago
I see no reason why this thread can't stay here
Oh look guys! The guy who is yapping his mouth about the thread that doesn't belong in this forum is actually responding about the story as if he really cared about it. You sir are an incessant troll and the biggest hypocrite I've ever seen in this forum. STFU and go address your cognitive disability. K? Have nice day you colossal retard.
Damn. With the warm weather you'd expect rust to have taken that thing years ago.
It sure is. I am not a military history buff or enthusiast by any means but the historical content is awesome. Too bad none of the museum pieces were kept in flying condition. I wish they did that more often.
Awesome! There's another good story about "Glacier Girl," a P-38 that crashed in Greenland, and was pulled out of the ice, and is now in flying condition. I think it's the only airworthy example in the world. It was going to make it to WWII Weekend a couple years ago, but poor weather scrapped the flight.
Yea, it is a shame. There's nothing like being on the ground when these things fly by. Certainly gives me chills!It sure is. I am not a military history buff or enthusiast by any means but the historical content is awesome. Too bad none of the museum pieces were kept in flying condition. I wish they did that more often.
Thanks for proving to everyone that you're a hypocrite. How the heck are you going to "engage in discussion about the plane" and also post pics and articles, and then turn around and tell everyone to stop posting in this thread because it doesn't belong here and then disrespect a fellow forum member who tried to share a fantastic story of how his grandfather served this great country. You either have a double personality or are possessed with an entire legion of demons. The power of Christ compels you troll!
me too, i'm sitting here laughing at all the fighting.
dude (who hating), this is a cool thread. no, it's not car related, but like someone else said, it would die and no one would see it if it were in the aviation forum. love this! this is a titanic-like find i think!!!! even cooler since it's on land, and people actually have access to this and have over the past 65 years or so. insane. there should be research, and a documentary on it.
i'm surprised top gear didn't find this on a challenge!
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.
This thread should be stickied.
My dad was in the Airforce. Purposefully enlisted in war time of Vietnam, went to basic, went out for a pilots position. Lied on his app that he didn't have asthma and proceeded to collapse from an asthma attack shortly after basic. His father, my grandfather was not only a tank commander for armored recon in Korea, but was also a pilot so it was in the blood. My pops then joined the Civil Air Patrol and spent years searching for wrecks and downed planes and assist in missing flights. My dad not only built a 1/4 scale P-47 Thunderbolt with a bubble top canopy when I was a kid, but also rebuilt a Taylorcraft tail dragger, and a Mooney 20B that bellied in. I don't fly, no real desire, plus its hideously expensive for a hobby.
Anyone hear about the 20 odd Spitfires they found buried in Burma a month or so ago? Apparently, at the end of the war, they were determined to be obsolete, and rather then fall into the hands of another government, or spend the effort to ship them back across the world, they were buried. Still preserved in wax/grease in crates, 20, in the jungle in Burma... Crazy as this basically, when these are rebuilt, will DOUBLE the amount of flying spitfires left!
A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.

The weird part about these wrecks is yes, they are historical, and sometimes a very important piece of history. It is also usually the final resting place for a brave pilot and crew. I would find it very creepy to be flying in a rebuilt plane, or seeing it rebuilt knowing that at one time it had gone down, taking its souls on board to the grave.....

Look up the Confederate Air Force. Its a great group. They have a B24 they tour with that came out of the factory when my grandfather was the drop forge foreman there. He probably oversaw, or even worked, on that plane.
The problem with a lot of these is that the government will not let the bigger ones fly. Reason being that they can still deliver payloads, regular or worst case nuclear. I remember talking to the guys about the B24 and they said that they found it in a desert scrap yard. Spent a while talking to them at an air show. They said it took years to get permission and permits from the government and then they were given ONE chance to fly it out of the area. If it didnt take off, it would not be allowed to go anywhere.
I dont think its that bad. For a lot of these air crews, that plane was their family. I would think that they would like that it continued to foster relationships long after theyre gone. WWII service men have emotional relationships with their equipment. I remember watching a WWII tank restoration. Tey found the original operator and after it was done, flew him out so that he could drive it and sit in the turret during a parade. When he saw it, he instantly broke down. Then he climbed in and gave it the beans like he did in Germany during WWII.

the reason the engine looks like it was taken apart is because any rubber made part has rotted away from heat and time. Only metal parts remain. The tire survived because how thick it is.

Back to school again!
Japan, April 23, 2011
This week brought an important step in the attempt to return to some sort of normalcy in the tsunami-affected area of Japan. School started again.
The quake and tsunami of March 11 occurred just as school was letting out for the year. The schools that weren't damaged turned into evacuation centers — well-organized communities, with living spaces, play areas, meal times and information boards. The school yards yielded to military trucks and tents, cookstoves and stockpiles. On some, temporary housing is being constructed to house displaced families.
Here, the new school year usually begins again in April. For most children in the affected area, school was delayed by a few weeks. To make space for the children to attend classes again, some evacuation centers moved people to other locations. In many, classes are beginning in half of the building, while the other half is reserved for sleeping and living quarters, such as they are. Everyone, from the board of education down to teachers and families, have been working tirelessly to prepare for the new school year.
Some children are living with the new reality of living in evacuation centers; others are fortunate to have their homes intact. All have experienced the effects of the earthquake and tsunami that turned their lives upside down. We all hope they can begin to establish a feeling of normalcy as they go back to their routines, surrounded by their community of classmates and teachers.
Mercy Corps and Peace Winds are preparing activities for the children, from creative arts to sports, to extend throughout the year. We are offering information to parents and counselors on what to expect from children who have experienced trauma. But for today, it is simply so good to hear that they have started back to school once again.

Pointe technique
Pointe technique is the part of classical ballet technique that concerns pointe work, in which a ballet dancer supports all body weight on the tips of fully extended feet. A dancer is said to be en pointe when the dancer's body is supported in this manner, and a fully extended vertical foot is said to be en pointe when touching the floor, even when not bearing weight. Pointe work is performed while wearing pointe shoes, which employ structural reinforcing to distribute the dancer's weight load throughout the foot, thus reducing the load on the toes enough to enable the dancer to support all body weight on fully vertical feet.
Pointe technique resulted from a desire for female dancers to appear weightless and sylph-like. Although both men and women are capable of pointe work, it is most often performed by women. Extensive training and practice are required to develop the strength and technique needed for pointe work.
Pointe technique encompasses both the mechanical and artistic aspects of pointe work. In particular, it is concerned with body alignment, placement of the feet, and the manner in which a dancer transitions to and from en pointe. A dancer is said to have "good" or "proper" technique when in conformance with the best practices of pointe technique, which in turn are generally referred to as proper technique.
Placement and alignment[edit]
En pointe dancers employ pointe technique to determine foot placement and body alignment. When exhibiting proper technique, a dancer's en pointe foot is placed so that the instep is fully stretched, with toes perpendicular to the floor, with the pointe shoe's platform (the flattened tip of the toe box) square to the floor so that a substantial part of its surface is contacting the floor.
Proper technique is also evident from a dancer's body alignment, by visualizing a straight line that extends from the center of the hip through the toes. When a properly aligned dancer is viewed from the side, the line passes through the knee, ankle joint, and big toe joints. When viewed from the front, the line passes through the knee, ankle joint, and the joints of the second toe or middle toe or the area between those toe joints. In cases of unusually high instep or metatarsal joint flexibility, it is sometimes necessary to flex the toes to achieve proper alignment.
Transitioning to en pointe[edit]
A dancer may transition to en pointe by any of three possible methods: relevé, sauté or piqué.[1] In the relevé method, the dancer rises smoothly by rotating the foot downward until it reaches a fully extended, vertical orientation, while the toe box remains in contact with the floor, thus "rolling up" on the foot. This may be done either gradually or rapidly, on one foot or both feet, beginning with feet flat on the floor or in demi-pointe (heels raised). In the sauté method, the dancer springs up and lands en pointe. In the process, the feet break contact with the floor and the dancer is briefly airborne. To transition to en pointe via piqué, a dancer will step out directly onto a fully extended, vertical foot. The other foot is then raised from the floor, thereby leaving the dancer en pointe.
Modern ballet technique incorporates all three transition methods. Relevé and piqué transitions are typically used for adages, where strength, poise, and controlled movements are highlighted. The more abrupt sauté method, which was introduced by Enrico Cecchetti,[2] is typically used in allegros, where the relatively slow and smooth relevé and piqué transitions would be both impractical and visually inconsistent with the lively pace of movement. The sauté method is more common in Russian ballet.[3]
Although age is not a prerequisite, many ballet students do not begin to dance en pointe earlier than approximately eleven years of age because bones in the feet are often too soft prior to that age and, in such cases, serious and permanent foot injuries could result from starting pointe work too early.[4][5] Exceptions may be made if the dance teacher or a physician has determined that a dancer's feet have sufficiently ossified,[6][7] and it is not uncommon for dancers to begin pointe work as early as age nine.[8] Otherwise, ballet students are generally ready to begin pointe work after achieving competency in fundamental ballet technique. For example, before learning pointe work, a dancer must be able to maintain turnout while performing center combinations, hold a proper ballet position with straight back and good turnout, pull up properly in the legs, and balance securely in relevé.
Preparation for pointe work is a gradual process that begins with barre exercises to develop the requisite strength in ankles, feet, and legs. These exercises may vary in accordance with a teacher's preferences and, if applicable, the training method's syllabus. The first exercises at the barre are usually relevés and échappés.[9] When the student is comfortable executing these steps on both feet and sufficiently strong, steps ending on one en pointe foot are introduced, such as pas de bourrée and retiré.
During each class session, a student will move on to centre exercises after completing the barre work. These exercises emphasize various aspects of ballet technique, such as turnout, pointing of the toes, and the use of ballet technique while en pointe.
Health risks[edit]
Dancing en pointe stresses the feet in various ways and thus can potentially cause injuries. Injuries can result from improper technique, poorly fitting pointe shoes, and lack of effective cushioning and accessories. Some types of injuries are prevented by adhering to proper technique such as correct upper-body positioning, maintaining straight knees when required, keeping body weight centered over the box of the shoes, and avoiding sickling.
Injuries due to toe misalignment are often avoided by adjusting toe alignments with gel toe spacers. Toenail bruising can be caused by heavy pressure on the surface of the nail; this is typically prevented by keeping toenails clipped short, by wrapping tape around the toes, by using padding, or combinations of these. Bruising can also occur on the tips of the toes, especially when no padding is used.
Pointe work can cause friction between toes and the interior of the pointe shoe's box. This friction, under the high pressure of much of the dancer's body weight, can result in chafing and blistering. This is often mitigated with lambswool or toe pads or by wrapping tape around toes. Other exterior injuries include cuts caused by toenails piercing adjacent toes. Also, calluses may form on the bottoms and sides of the feet, which can crack open. Ingrown nails can result from ill-fitting shoes.
Other common injuries:
- Deformities such as bunions, bunionettes, and hammer toes
- Inflammations such as bursitis and sesamoiditis
- Dancer's heel (Plantar fasciitis), a tightening of the instep tendon that causes discomfort in the instep and heel
- Sprained ankles
- Stress fractures
- Achilles Tendinitis and extensor tendinitis

So yeah i don't usually share my poetry coz i don't think its good enough, but felt this one had particular significance for DepressionTribe members. Tell me what you think?
It's hard to write what I want to say
'Cos the words just rot and fall away,
So with a hole in the bottom, I'm stuck in the same boat as before
And slowly sinking just in sight of shore
I push myself to work so hard,
knowing potentially it could make me worse,
Sometimes I think I'm better off in the back of a hearse
But I know I could never leave behind
The one I've been searching for all this time
I didn't think that
I would feel like this for long.
But just like always,
I was completely wrong.
Love it.
Keep on writing too. Is it a great outlet for you? Love the use of metaphors, lost boat at sea :)

I need some cash to materialize ASAP, or else my face will be (mostly un-noticeably) absent from Vegas next weekend.
Where, oh poker fairy, have you been?
I bought a new house 3 months ago - a bigger, better, nicer house! A lovely house! A spacious house!
It's kicking my ass.
Why can't I be a DINK ("dual income - no kids")? Being a SINK is fuckin' hard sometimes. At least I have nobody to clean up after. And Xmas shopping will be WAY cheaper this year, sans-boyfriend.
Pray for the poker fairy to visit and stick a grand under my pillow if you want to see me in Vegas... though I did just RSVP for the June event, and I WILL have money by then!

I must apologize for skipping over all of the "live-blogging politics" posts from yesterday. Yes, I did my civic duty and voted yesterday (go blue!), but - live-blogged politics? I think I would rather stick pencils in my eye than READ about the minute by minute projections of each state. It's hard enough watching it, and at least then you get pretty colors on TV for stimulation.
Poker has been scarce around here lately. My new mortgage is kinda kicking my ass, so I withdrew more money from Full Tilt to pay some October bills. I plan to make it out to Vegas in December, though I have no idea how I'm going to pay for it. That's the joy of having the attitude I have. Me to Self: Ahhh, just go. You'll figure it out.

I know this has nothing to do with poker, BUT since many of my fellow poker bloggers are users of Googles Blogger.com (or Blogspot.com)...
I read a few days ago that (finally), the blogger beta is fully cooked, and that account migration will be available "really really soon" for all blogger users. (See Blogger Buzz post). I'm also reading tons of reports of various bloggers across the webosphere switching over.
How the hell do you switch? I want to switch!!
I read somewhere that there should be a link in your Blogger dashboard, but I don't have one.
Have any of you switched, or seen a link that allows you to switch to the new blogger beta version? If so, how? Where? Help!

BT cuts the price of high speed broadband»www.theinquirer.net/inqu ··· roadbandUK INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER (ISP) BT is rolling out a high speed broadband service called Totally Unlimited Broadband, which offers unlimited internet usage at lower prices.BT said the service will be free from traffic management and starts from £16 a month for 16Mbit/s copper broadband, £23 for the 38Mbit/s Infinity package or £26 for the highest speed 76Mbit/s Infinity service."Previously, the cheapest way for BT broadband customers to go unlimited was by taking a £26 ($40.64 CAD) a month option," the provider said.BT will also offer the first six months free for new customers of the service, though this offer won't be available for those signing up to the cheapest package.-----This in a country whose prices are typically at least double Canada's (in Canadian dollar terms) for just about everything.
Tell me you didn't say that the UK is an Internet pioneer....This coming from the same company "BT Telecom, or British Telecom, or whatever they are called", who charged you PER MINUTE FOR LOCAL CALLS....Here's the #1 issue. In terms of a landline phone service, Canada has one of the lowest prices if not the lowest for POTS service in the entire world.So yeah, if you want your phone with a per minute charge, UK is where its at....forget that.
Uk incumbents are nothing like in Canada. They have functional seperation so BT retail as well as 3rd parties like Talk Talk, all purchase service from BT Wholesale called OpenReach.

Released: Dec 01st, 1991
Running Time: 73
Director: Jeffrey Stevens
Company: Midnight Video
Marc Wallice, Buck Adams, Ashley Nicole, Brigette Aime, Melanie Moore, Cal Jammer
Critical Rating: AA
Genre: Feature
Sooner or later, just about every mainstream film gets its porn counterpart and now it's Dr. Detroit's turn. Marc Wallice has the Dan Aykroyd role of a meek accountant who poses as a pimp to help out some girls who need to collect from johns. So Marc talks dirty and tough, especially when he puts on his pimp hat. In keeping with the title, there are three anal scenes including a D.P. Ashley Nicole is the recipient of this twin offering from Cal Jammer and Buck Adams after which Marc gladly performs the deed on Brigitte Aime. Action is pretty much what you would expect with no standouts. Another in a long line of videos with "anal" in the title.

If you want to look at things in a weird way, we're less than seven months away from the 2013 Winter Classic and fans are going to be itchy to get their hands on tickets. We've seen the schedule of events for everything going on in Detroit and Ann Arbor and now we know how much a seat will cost for the big game.
The Red Wings haven't announced anything officially, but there is a seating chart with prices for seats on their website. Tickets range from $89-$279 to get into Michigan Stadium and be one of over 100,000 fans eager to watch outdoor hockey.
If that sounds pricey, just wait until tickets hit the secondary market after season ticket holders from the Red Wings and Maple Leafs get first crack at tickets and the sale to the public begins. No announcement on when that will be has been made.

Jason Smith Assistant Professor of Microbiology
Website Email: email@example.com Phone: (206) 685-6144 Office Location: Health Sciences, J-279a Campus Box: 357735
Dr. Smith performed his graduate studies at Harvard University in the laboratory of Dr. James Cunningham. His thesis focused on understanding how conformational changes in the envelope glycoprotein of the retrovirus avian leukosis virus A are linked to entry and infection. As a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Dr. Glen Nemerow at the Scripps Research Institute, Dr. Smith studied the mechanisms of action of innate (e.g., defensins) and adaptive (e.g., neutralizing antibodies) immune effectors in neutralizing human adenovirus infection. The Smith lab is primarily focused on understanding the role of defensins in antiviral immunity. Defensins are a class of antimicrobial peptides with broadly acting antibacterial activity; however, their role in antiviral immunity, particularly for nonenveloped viruses, is less well understood. Using a variety of approaches from virology, cell biology, biochemistry, structural biology, and genetics, our work is focused on understanding the interaction of defensins with human adenovirus and human papillomavirus in molecular detail. We are also interested in using animal models of enteric viral diseases to understand the role of defensins in antiviral immunity in vivo. Finally, through comparative studies with other nonenveloped viruses, we will determine general principals of defensin-mediated neutralization of nonenveloped virus infection.

Unemployment Bill Hits a Speed Bump, But Passage Is Still Expected
April 14, 2010 - by Donny ShawEarlier today, Sen. Max Baucus [D, MT] brought up an amendment to the bill (H.R. 4851) to extend the extension of the deadline from May 5th until June 2nd. It also would extended the other expiring programs in the bill until June, like COBRA health benefits, national flood insurance and the 21% scheduled Medicare payment cut. Additionally, it would pay benefits back retroactively for those whose have lapsed over the past couple weeks because of congressional inaction.

One week after approving a 30-day extension of unemployment benefits (H.R.4691), the Senate today passed the American Workers, State, and Business Relief Act (H.R.4321), which provides a longer-term extension of those benefits. Specifically, the bill extends federal unemployment assistance through Dec. 31 and provides a 65 percent subsidy for COBRA health insurance premiums. The coverage is retroactive to Feb. 28.

To make a long story short, the House last December passed a $154 billion jobs bill (H.R.2847) prompting the Senate to consider a smaller $80 billion jobs bill, which Sen. Reid further shrank to a $15 billion jobs bill after complaints that the previous bill contained too many concessions to Republicans. ...

Oakland Raiders receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey has been released from the hospital after being knocked out by a helmet-to-helmet hit.
The Raiders say Heyward-Bey went home Monday morning after spending the night in the hospital under observation. The team says he has a concussion and neck strain and is expected to make a full recovery.
Heyward-Bey was running across the end zone early in the fourth quarter of Oakland's 34-31 victory to catch a pass from Carson Palmer when Pittsburgh safety Ryan Mundy launched his body and lowered his helmet into Heyward-Bey's facemask.
Heyward-Bey's neck jerked violently and his head also crashed into the ground as he lost consciousness. The pass was incomplete. The replacement officials did not call a penalty on the play.

text: We commend Lady Gaga's adventurous spirit and never-ending arsenal of cyberkinetic ensembles. But last night's theme held no variation: she dressed as Jo Calderone (her My Cousin Vinny-channeling male alter ago), and went with it, all night. The look: a white tee and jeans, set off with a greaser hairdo. As a statement in character, it succeeded. As a visual, its novelty grew old, but we're pretty sure Calderone wouldn't show up in a Raf Simons suit—nor would Gaga allow him to. Kudos to her for forcing us along for her gender-bending ride.

PayPal goes offline again
Hope no-one missed an eBay auction
Posted in Small Biz, 4th August 2009 09:07 GMT
PayPal suffered another embarrassing outage last night, and was unavailable for about four hours from 6.30pm UK time - one of the busiest times on eBay.
The preferred payment service for the tat bazaar was last unavailable for several hours in late June, which really isn't great for a payment service: particularly one which underpins time sensitive auctions.
The company blamed a network hardware failure for the problem. In June it blamed a botched upgrade. The payment provider apologised and said the problem started at 10.30am Pacific Time and was all sorted out by 3pm.
eBay paid $1.5bn for PayPal in 2002. Recent changes at the online tat bazaar have alienated a lot of smaller sellers. ®

Might try the Zedge app. Don't know how current it is with what you're looking for, but I'm sure it will have some stuff you will use.
Yeah, I have tried that, but didn't have much luck with tracking down much of anything. Might be that most of the search terms I've put in fall under copyrighted material or didn't bring up what I'm looking for.
