My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
Hey, my name is Ben and I guess I'd better tell you a bit about myself. I'm quite a shy but generally cheery person, and after a while it's tough to get me to shut up. I'd like to think I'm quite funny, kind of a wise-cracker and generally easy to get along with. I'm more of listener than talker and I love to find out about new people. I'm kind of a nerd, hugely into Video games and cheesy B-Movies, but I've started to take more of an interest in keeping fit. I like to go for random walks around the city to no where in particular, and I love seeing stand up comedy. If you name a stand up, I can pretty much bet I've seen them live
What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
Currently working for a company that makes protein powders and sports supplements. work out at least 3 or 4 times a week, and out and about in pubs and clubs on a saturday, or playing games with a few friends and some beers. Nothing too exotic, but I'm pretty happy with it.
I'm really good at
Go on, brag a little (or a lot). We won't judge.
Well, I'd like to think I'm quite funny, I'm a good listener and I think I can hold a decent conversation. I'm not too sure really. Jack of all trades, master of none
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
Probably how shy I am, and how animated my body language is when I'm mid conversation. I wave my arms around more than an air traffic controller trying to shoo away a bee.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
Favourite authors are Douglas Adams, H.P Lovecraft, H.G Wells and George Orwell. Movies I'd say anything by Hitchcock, Del Torro, Kubrick or Romero. I don't watch a whole lot of tv, adverts get all my nerves, but you can't go wrong with putting on Most Haunted and mocking them for a bit of fun. Games are really more my thing, and I could talk for days about them to other people interested in them. Music I'm into a HUGE amount of different things, and it would be boring to list them all, so get in touch music nerds! I'm always looking for new recommendations. When it comes to food, I'd say my favourite is Mexican, but I love anything with a large amount of spice, and I love seafood too.
The six things I could never do without
Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
Friends and Family (Of course)
My Phone
A sense of humour
A good Book
A decent wander around the city
My Phone
A sense of humour
A good Book
A decent wander around the city
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
a whole bunch of things really, I'm a complex and mysterious person...pftthahahah no probably just something stupid and trivial
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
At a pub or a club with some friends (Pub is more likely though) or out and about at a comedy gig. Who knows, it depends on what springs to mind really, I'd rather do something on the fly than plan out every Friday :)
The most private thing I'm willing to admit
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
haha come on now, it would hardly be a private thing if I mention it on here would it?
You should message me if
Offer a few tips to help matches win you over.
Well I'm always up for some decent conversation. Assuming you don't mind it peppered with sarcastic comments and cheesy jokes. so if you'd like to talk, go right ahead. Or if I've viewed your profile and not messaged you. Yes, my shy nature even extends to dating websites.

EUPORA – Brad Mitchell says there are three things every team has to do in order to be successful this time of the year in baseball.
When the Eupora Eagles take the field in Baldwyn tonight, the coach says not only will his team need all three weapons, but it will be facing a team that is capable of producing on each front.
"You have to be able to pitch the ball well, play defense and get timely hits," Mitchell said. "Baldwyn does all three. It will be a tough series for us, but that is what you play for. That is what you want to be involved in this time of year."

Local anesthesia for arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery: patient–physician relationship as the origin of technical innovation

We report a series of 12 patients suffering from rotator cuff tears of the shoulder who were operated under local anesthesia (direct injection of local anaesthetics in the shoulder) and light sedation. They all had a medical contra-indication for elective surgery under general or regional nerve block anaesthesia (interscalene). Complete pain control was achieved in all cases and all the surgical goals could be achieved during the different procedures, which included rotator cuff repair, bursectomy, acromioplasty, and proximal biceps tenotomy. We report no complication of the procedures. We discuss the impact of an attitude of attention toward the patient's global condition on part of the surgeon, and the importance of such an attention to obtain the pertinent clinical information that can lead to innovative treatments.

Deciphering High Fructose Corn Syrupby Toby Amidor in Food News, February 25, 2009
You've heard that high fructose corn syrup is bad for you. You know to scan food labels to make sure it's not there. And now some of the big beverage makers are nixing it from their products. So what's the deal with this sweetener?
What the heck is it?
High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) started making its name in the 1980s as a cheap alternative to sugar. Sugar is made from two subunits: glucose and fructose. HFCS is made from those same two subunits — just with some extra help from the lab. Basically put, HFCS starts out as cornstarch, which is made of glucose, and then some of that glucose is converted via chemical processes to fructose. So, you see, there's some manipulation that goes into making it.
Where is it found?
Everywhere. Yes, everywhere! Bread, cookies, soda, cold cereals, candy, ketchup, lunch meats, yogurts, soups, jams, chocolate syrup — you name it and it probably contains HFCS. On a recent supermarket trip, I spent 15 minutes in the bread aisle trying to find a loaf without this sweetener. It's become so mainstream in our food supply that it's sometimes difficult to completely eliminate it from your diet (though Dana has come pretty close).
What has sparked the controversy?
As the use of HFCS increased, so did American's waistlines. Once that news surfaced, the public went crazy and the HFCS backlash began. According to The American Medical Association, HFCS does not contribute more to obesity than sugar or other caloric sweeteners. The Corn Refiners Association launched an 18-month campaign full of commercials for HFCS. The movie King Corn also responded to this controversy.
According to nutritionist, author, professor and my mentor Marion Nestle, "Biochemically, high fructose corn syrup is about the same as table sugar (both have about the same amount of fructose and calories), but it is in everything and Americans eat a lot of it — nearly 60 pounds per capita in 2006, just a bit less than pounds of table sugar."
The Latest Issues
A study released in January revealed that almost half of the commercial food products tested that contained HFCS also contained mercury. Understandably, the media went wild because mercury is toxic and has been linked to neurological damage in humans. Not surprisingly, the Corn Refiners Association released a statement claiming that the study was flawed and failed to properly conduct their study.
The Bottom Line
HFCS is found in many packaged foods and hard to avoid. If possible, opt for products without the sweetener or ones that list HFCS lower down on the ingredients (the closer it is to the end of the list, the less it contains). Sticking to a whole diet with fresh fruits and veggies, nuts, grains and legumes can help minimize your consumption. And, as we always say, moderation is key.
Even better, the latest news is that popular soft drink makers (Pepsi, Snapple and Mountain Dew) are cutting high fructose corn syrup from their mixes. We're not huge soft drink fans, but every little step we take towards more wholesome and natural ingredients helps.
- Are Splenda, Sweet n' Low and other artificial sweeteners safe?
- Try using natural honey instead
- Other natural sugar alternatives

Although we no longer find our way from the pattern of stars in the sky, we still wonder about our place in the Universe. Modern science provides explanations for much of what we see: we believe nuclear fusion powers the Sun and that the sky is dark at night because the Universe is expanding and has a finite age. The module will chart the life and death of stars and the Universe itself and will emphasise how it is possible to test theories about, for example, the initial fireball of the Universe.

Thanks to her recent TV appearances everywhere from "Good Morning America" to "Oprah," she's been showered with checks from some 50,000 good-hearted donors so far. (The outpouring of generosity continues -- in the first 48 hours after this story first aired on 20/20, Mock says she received an additional $20,000 in donations).
Still more people across the country have volunteered their financial and legal expertise, and any other assistance the Foundation might need.
This generosity doesn't surprise Mock's family. Her husband Bruce told "20/20" that she has a long history of helping anyone she can, and even extends that spirit to rescuing stray animals. But her main goal is to help people keep their homes, she said.
"It doesn't take much," Mock said. "Sometimes just a few hundred dollars to repair a life."
And where does her motivation come from?
"It needs to be done," she said. "That's it."

Michael Hunt of Sweetwater watches his tee shot on the No. 1 hole at Sweetwater Country Club during the final round of the District 4-3A boys golf tournament on Tuesday.
Hunt shot a 228 total for his three rounds to qualify for Region I-3A tournament, which will be held April 14-15 at LubbockŌĆÖs Shadow Hills course.
Michael Hunt of Sweet-water will make his first trip to regionals next week after shooting his best round of the District 4-3A golf tour-nament Tuesday while play-ing on his home course.
After shooting 77s in the first two rounds of the tour-nament, Hunt carded a 74 in his final round ŌĆö which was played at Sweetwater Country Club ŌĆö to finish fourth among district medalists with a 228 total.
A great pitching effort and timely hitting Tuesday allowed Sweetwater to end its three-game losing streak by beating Midland Green-wood, 5-1, here Tuesday.
Sweetwater (3-3, 16-6) solidified its sagging playoff hopes out of District 4-3A by moving within a game of Snyder and Big Spring, who are both 4-2 and tied for second place after the Steers ŌĆö once 0-2 ŌĆö won their fourth straight Tuesday by beating the Tigers, 9-5. The Mustangs also moved ahead of Monahans (2-4), which lost 14-4 Tuesday to first-place Wylie, which is 5-1.
Enjoying a 7-5 lead after five innings, the Sweetwater Lady Mustang softball team seemed headed for its first district win of the season when it faced second-place Midland Greenwood here Tuesday. But Greenwood ruined the celebration with a 10-run assault in the last two innings to beat Sweet-water, 15-11.
Greenwood which trails first-place Snyder by two games, improved to 5-2 in district play and 12-12 over-all. Sweetwater, despite by far its highest-scoring game in district play so far, fell to 0-7 and 9-13.
Sweetwater JV and varsity teams complete district meet at Big Spring (top four in each event advance to area meet in Pecos on April 18).
Highland varsity teams host district meet (top four in each event advance to area meet to also be held in Highland on April 18).
Roscoe varsity teams at Highland for district meet (same as above).
Blackwell varsity teams at Robert Lee for district meet (top four in each event advance to area meet to be held in Highland on April 18).
Sweetwater varsity will play at Big Spring, 7 p.m.
Beating Greenwood at home today would end the Sweetwater baseball teamŌĆÖs three-game losing streak in district play and help its playoff hopes. The softball team also plays Greenwood here today, and with an 0-6 district record, the Lady Mustangs simply canŌĆÖt af-ford another loss if they are to reach the postseason.
Sweetwater High SchoolŌĆÖs girls golf team shot a final round 382 Monday at Sny-derŌĆÖs Western Texas College for a third-place finish at the 54-hole, three-leg District 4-3A golf tournament.
Despite missing a regional berth, Sweetwater beat out five of the districtŌĆÖs eight competing golf teams with a three-round 1,104 total. The two teams who are advancing to regionals are Snyder (1,001) and Monahans (1,012). SweetwaterŌĆÖs No. 2 team shot 443-1,264 for a seventh-place finish.
The regional tournament will be played April 16-17 at Lubbock.
Michael Hunt of Sweet-water shot another 77 Sat-urday in the second round of the District 4-3A boys golf tournament for a 154 total, leaving him in sixth place among medalists en-tering the final round Tues-day when the tournament moves to Sweetwater.
If he maintains his position, Hunt will qualify for regional competition next week with the second-best score ŌĆö trailing only Jacob Lair (150) of Monahans ŌĆö among all players not on one of the top two teams.
Big Spring (608) and Abi-lene Wylie (625) currently rank 1-2, with Sweetwater in fifth place at 670.

The Volcker Rule ("Volcker Rule" or "Rule") is intended to limit risks to the financial system that Congress believes may be created by (i) proprietary trading operations of insured depository institutions, foreign banking entities with certain U.S. operations, and the affiliates of the foregoing entities (collectively, "banking entities") through a set of "Trading Restrictions," and (ii) investments and certain relationships between banking entities and private equity and hedge funds (which are referred to as "covered funds") through a set of "Fund Restrictions."
The Volcker Rule itself comprises only 11 pages of a nearly 850-page law. It has been, however, one of the most controversial parts of the Dodd-Frank Act ("DFA"), as demonstrated by the long delays, thousands of comments and arduous path taken by the five federal regulatory agencies – the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("FRB"), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"), the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") (together, the "Agencies") – to agree on final implementing regulations.
Congress had expected that the final Volcker Rule regulations would be issued by October 2011 and become effective on July 21, 2012. In April 2012, the FRB, which is given authority to issue rules and make determinations regarding conformance periods for activities and investments subject to the Volcker Rule, clarified that banking entities would generally have two years from July 21, 2012 to conform to the requirements of the Volcker Rule. During the conformance period, banking entities were expected to engage in good faith efforts to achieve conformance of all activities and investments by no later than the end of that period.

How long are the new licenses good for now? Just be prepared to wait the full 90 days - http://www.miamiherald.com/news/florida/story/910739.html Florida can't keep up with concealed weapon permit requests The state greenlighted funds to hire 61 workers to tackle a backlog of concealed-weapons permit applications. BY STEVE BOUSQUET Herald/Times Tallahassee Bureau TALLAHASSEE -- Floridians in record numbers want to carry concealed weapons, a trend linked to a surge in crime, economic anxiety and fears of stricter gun laws. The state is buried under a backlog of 95,000 applications for concealed-weapons permits and it needs to hire a lot more people to handle the paperwork. A legislative panel Wednesday gave Agriculture Commissioner Charles Bronson the OK to spend $3.9 million more so he can hire 61 temporary workers. ''Once the economy gets bad, crime always goes up,'' said Bronson, a police officer. ``People get desperate whenever things are not going the way they feel like they should be going, and they'll do things they normally wouldn't do.'' The state reported a surge in applications in November after the election of President Barack Obama, who in the past has advocated stricter gun control laws but who also campaigned as a defender of Second Amendment rights. Florida received 75,679 first-time concealed-weapon permit applications in 2007 and 86,269 in 2008, in addition to tens of thousands of renewal forms. About 541,000 Floridians have permits for concealed weapons. Nationwide, retailers report a surge in sales of firearms in recent months. Some Florida stores have run out of ammunition. As applications for gun permits stack up, the state has reported a spike in phone calls from impatient applicants, and at least 140 large tubs in a Tallahassee office building are filled with unprocessed applications. FEES TO PAY SALARIES By law, the state must process permit applications within 90 days. A permit is valid for seven years and costs $117, which includes a $44 fee for state and federal background checks and a set of fingerprints. The money to hire new employees comes from fees paid by applicants, not from general tax dollars. Adding to the backlog of applications is that the state gives a priority to renewal forms, to avoid cases of gun owners unknowingly having their permits expire or to catch cases in which permit holders have broken the law. Asked about the surge in gun permit applications, Gov. Charlie Crist said: ``I'm pro-gun. I think people ought to have the right to protect themselves, and if people want to get new certificates, that's their constitutional right . . . If they use those instruments responsibly and prudently and within the bounds of the law, everything should be fine.'' The state senator in Crist's hometown of St. Petersburg disagreed. ''More guns is never a good thing, especially in an urban area,'' said Sen. Charlie Justice. ``There are very few areas of our city that have not been touched by gun violence.'' Bronson said it's a positive thing that people would seek to legally own a concealed weapon. ``That's the reason why people get concealed weapons, so that if they are threatened with their life they can defend themselves and their family and their property. And this is the right way to do it.'' `BECAUSE OF FEAR' At Jet's Florida Outdoors store in Westchester, which sells guns, sales clerk Chris McCarthy said people are buying the weapons because of the economy but also because they're afraid of a possible crackdown on gun ownership under the Obama administration. ''The demand is because of the fear. People are concerned with losing their rights,'' McCarthy said. Miami Herald staff writers Beth Reinhard and Jose Pagliery and Times/Herald researcher Lynette Norris contributed to this report. Steve Bousquet can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com apfire2602-22-2009, 21:11I made the mistake by not sending my paperwork in as soon as I finished the safety class.

Vote for Sarkozy successor descends into chaos
Published on Nov 20, 2012 6:07 AM
PARIS (AFP) - The battle to succeed Nicolas Sarkozy at the helm of France's right-wing opposition UMP party turned into a shambles on Monday, with both candidates claiming victory and trading accusations of electoral fraud.
Mr Jean-Francois Cope, the party's firebrand secretary general, declared to cheering supporters after voting closed late Sunday that he was the victor, but ex-prime minister Francois Fillon announced just minutes later that he had won.
Mr Cope repeated his claim on television Monday, as Fillon supporters took to the airwaves to insist their man had triumphed in the vote that came six months after Mr Sarkozy lost the presidency to Socialist Francois Hollande.
Both camps claimed there were irregularities - and cheating - in voting in several areas and the party's electoral commission was Monday recounting ballots.

CHESAPEAKE -- Police are searching for two suspects who shot a man inside his home in Chesapeake Monday night.
The incident happened in the 4600 block of Woodmark Trail just before 11 p.m., according to Chesapeake Police Officer Kelly O'Sullivan.
That's when police say the two suspects forced their way into the home and shot the man. They then fled on foot in an unknown direction.
The 41-year-old victim was transported to Norfolk General Hospital with non life-threatening injuries, O'Sullivan said. The victim's girlfriend who was also inside the home at the time was not injured.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Chesapeake police.

Henry Morgan Was Here?
March 1, 2011
Archaeologists said that the cannons recovered from a river in Panama could have belonged to the legendary pirate Henry Morgan.
They said that the cannons are being studied and could eventually be displayed.
The group of Panamanian and foreign archaeologists said the cannons were found at the mouth of Panama's Chagres river, which is the site where Morgan's flagship "The Satisfaction" wrecked in 1671 while carrying him and his pirate to raid Panama City.
The team said the size and shape of the pieces looks very similar to the small iron guns of the 17th century.
The cannons were found in 2008 and recovered last year.
The Waitt Institute and Panama's National Culture Institute coordinated the archaeological survey.

The food here is really really delicious; I've had the fish and the lamb kabobs, both excellent, as well as two of the vegetarian entrees, which were also both really filling and yummy. The bread that comes with the meals is phenomenal, and you can't beat a salad, bread, meat, and a huge side of the tastiest brown rice ever for ten bucks. Plus it's byo, and there's a wine store just a couple blocks away on 19th and chestnut. The only downer is the service, which is awful. I've had one server who was moody and barely spoke a word, and another who seemed well-intentioned but had no idea what he was doing. It took 20 minutes for him to open our wine and bring glasses, then another 15 for him to take our order, and there are only like 6 tables in the place. It's worth the wait though, and once you get past the dingy front of the place, the tables in the back are actually really cute.

If this restaurant were in Washington DC, it would surely make the Washingtonian's Best Cheap Eats issue. Four of us ate for $60 including tip ($70 if you add in our jug of BYO wine). We had the eggplant and meat sauce, potato and scallion, houmus and soup appetizers - most good although the houmus was kind of flat. The lamb shish was tasty as was the lamb-chicken-beef shish. The server seemed a little dour, and service was just shy of slow.

Great lunch spot, with plenty of vegetarian and low-fat options for the health-conscious. Grilled chicken kebabs were particularly good. The atmosphere in the restaurant is more functional than fabulous, but the quality of the food is unbeatable at their very reasonable prices. The only thing I've had there that wasn't good was the baklava, which was soggy, nearly raw, and had an overpowering flavor of raw ginger -- not good at all.
Posted by Anonymous on 10/06/2006
Being a vegetarian I have not sampled the majority of dishes at the kabob house, but their stewed vegetables are incredible. The pumpkin and cauliflower are especially delicious and warming on damp autumnal days. Surprisingly awesome and affordable lunch option!

The Last Thing I Made [in January]
I started off the year with tons of crafty goals, but ever since I completed the project below I've been hit with a kind of slump. This is bad because this year I wanted to focus more on my crafts. I wanted to restock my shop with premade items and work towards participating in a craft fair this fall. I've sense found myself in a slump, which isn't uncommon. Depression and anxiety are very real, people. My house is just barely together and my motivation for creating anything new is low. I was commissioned back in November for this diaper bag for a friend. She's expecting number two, and her husband wanted her to have a special-to-her bag … [Read more...]
This Year Make Your Smile Brilliant! {Review}
It's amazing how humbling it is when you take a good look at your teeth. Growing up my mom never put too much emphasis on dental hygiene, but rather left it up to us to take care of our teeth using her own experiences as an example. It must have worked because I never had a cavity in my childhood. It wasn't until I had my wisdom teeth removed that I even saw my first cavity. Now that I'm an adult I take brushing my teeth very seriously. I think most of us can agree that white teeth are attractive. Sometimes a good looking smile can be the cherry on top to looking and feeling good. When I was given the opportunity to work with Smile … [Read more...]
How to Switch from GoDaddy to a New Host

In 2014 I applied a coupon and simply renewed my hosting plan. I wound up getting it pretty cheap and had no outstanding issues, however there was always a haunting feeling that in order to grow I needed to switch to a better hosting company.

I haven't been feeling very wordy lately, but I wanted to meet my goal of getting this post finished and published. Ironically, my word for this year is ACCOUNTABILITY. Last year my word was TIME, and I wanted to encompass managing my time and fitting in enough space to slow down as well. Though contradictory, I was able to fulfill a lot of my personal desires by reminding myself of that simple word. This year I'm going to try and push that even more by holding myself accountable for my actions and connecting the pathways of my own future through my own actions. I thought on it long enough, and that's the best word I could find to summarize … [Read more...]
Holiday Cheer at Busch Gardens® Tampa Christmas Town
Christmas in my family has always been big. We didn't grow up with much, but my mother worker her butt off to make sure that the winter holiday was a joyous one.
