Playstation Home already plagued by sex – is this a problem?
The long-awaited, oft-delayed Playstation Home arrived on the PS3 on December 11, 2008. Apart from some initial problems in connecting to the service, most people have responded positively to the new offering. But after just a few days one problem seems to be sticking out like a sore thumb: sex.
When I say sex I don't mean full on virtual sex like the kind you find in Second Life. In fact, you can't seem to walk far down the street in Second Life without being approached by a naked person trying to show you their bits. The sex present in Home is more of the horny teenager getting nowhere variety.
Silicon Alley Insider details the issue and posts a video of the kind of thing that is happening. As you can see from the embed below, the few females in the game (as cool as gamer girls are they still only make up a small minority of gamers) are being surrounded by the numerous males in something akin to a display of masculinity. With Home this is made possible by dancing.
Obviously, this video is quite funny, as are the numerous scenes of this happening in Home around the world. But is it a problem? With Home being seen as another way for Sony to draw in PS3 buyers, the service has to be as inclusive and family-friendly as possible. Are men getting trying to pull girls really all that universal?
It was always going to happen as sex is a huge part of everyday life. Sony obviously knew this likelihood, which is why it changed its PS3 terms of use before Home was released onto the great unwashed. But what constitutes going too far on Home? The guys in the video are doing no more than can be seen every weekend in any club in any city in the world. Is it worse because Home is a virtual world for all?
I'd hate to see Home users having their access taken away or account deleted because they were hitting on a girl, something they could do in the real world without reprisals. But harassment isn't something tolerated in the real world and so probably shouldn't be in Home. I may sound like an old man who needs to chill his boots and maybe that's it – I'm just jealous of the young studs getting all the action.

All Sunderland at the moment on the feedback front..."@jamiecogle: I guess it's good to see that MON has kept two up front. I can see a win for Sunderland, not holding my breath after last week."
Punters seem to be avoiding the clash between Sunderland (5/4) and Fulham (11/5) at the Stadium of Light. The Black Cats have slipped towards the relegation-zone with a five-match winless run, while Martin Jol's men have only won twice on the road this season leaving too much doubt in punters' minds. The only market that seems to be capturing the attention is first goalscorer with Steven Fletcher 9/2 and Fulham's Dimitar Berbatov 7/1. Click Here to bet.
Teams in full...
Sunderland team is: Mignolet; Gardner, Bramble, O'Shea, Colback; Sessegnon, Larsson, N'Diaye, Johnson; Graham, Fletcher. Subs: Westwood, Bardsley, Vaughan, Mangane, McClean, Cuellar. Only six on the bench due to an illness to Kilgallon.
Fulham team is: Schwarzer; Riether, Hangeland, Senderos, Riise; Dejagah, Karagounis, Sidwell, Duff; Ruiz, Berbatov. Subs: Etheridge, Hughes, Richardson, Frimpong, Emanuelson, Rodallega, Petric.

Diabetes Health Center
Your child needs to know when his or her blood sugar level is outside the target range. Fortunately, your child's blood sugar level can be checked anywhere and anytime by using a home blood sugar (glucose) meter. Blood sugar meters give results quickly.
Knowing your child's blood sugar level helps you treat low or high blood sugar before it becomes an emergency. It also helps you know how exercise and food affect your child's blood sugar and how much short-acting insulin to give (if your child takes insulin).
Three keys to success in monitoring your child's blood sugar are:
- Keeping the meter and supplies with your child at all times.
- Making it a habit to check your child's blood sugar level by building it into his or her routine.
- Checking the meter's accuracy when you visit the doctor by comparing results with the doctor's results.

If the level is below 70 or you are experiencing symptoms such as shaking, sweating or difficulty thinking, you will need to raise the number immediately. A quick solution is to eat a few pieces of hard candy or 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey. Recheck your numbers again in 15 minutes to see if the number has gone up. If not, repeat the steps above or call your doctor.
People who experience hypoglycemia several times in a week should call their health care provider. It's important to monitor your levels each day so you can make sure your numbers are within the range. If you are pregnant always consult with your health care provider.
Congratulations on taking steps to manage your health.
However, it's important to continue to track your numbers so that you can make lifestyle changes if needed. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.
Your level is high if this reading was taken before eating. Aim for 70-130 before meals and less than 180 two hours after meals.
Even if your number is high, it's not too late for you to take control of your health and lower your blood sugar.
One of the first steps is to monitor your levels each day. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.

|This article is missing information about colonial mentality before the Age of Discovery. This concern has been noted on the talk page where whether or not to include such information may be discussed. (January 2010)
Colonial mentality is an area of study and a conceptual theory in Cultural anthropology that refers to institutionalized or systemic feelings of inferiority within some societies or people who have been subjected to colonialism, relative to the values of the foreign powers which had previously subjugated them through colonization.[citation needed] The concept essentially refers to the acceptance, by the colonized, of the culture or doctrines of the colonizer as intrinsically more worthy or superior. The subject matter is quite controversial and debated.
|This unreferenced section requires citations to ensure verifiability.
Throughout human history, nations and peoples have continuously colonised and been colonised. It is said that when a foreign colonial or imperial power is too strong to be effectively resisted, the colonised population often has no other immediate option than to accept the rule of the foreigners as an inescapable reality of life. As time progresses, the colonised indigenous people-natives would perceive the differences between the foreigners and themselves, between the foreigners' ways and the native ways. This would then sometimes lead the natives to mimic the foreigners that are in power as they began to associate that power and success with the foreigners' ways. This eventually leads to the foreigners' ways being regarded as the better way and being held in a higher esteem than previous indigenous ways.
In much the same fashion, and with the same reasoning of better-ness, the colonised soon equates the foreigners' racial strain itself as being responsible for their superiority. The native soon strives to that strain to give their children a better standing in life than just their native genes.
Some critics claim that Rudyard Kipling's portrayals of Indian characters generally supported the colonialist view that the Indians and other colonized people were incapable of surviving without the help of Europeans, claiming that these portrayals are racist.[1] Examples of this alleged racism are mentioning "lesser breeds without the Law" in "Recessional" and referring to colonised people in general as "half-devil and half-child" in the poem "The White Man's Burden".
The term Macaulay's Children is used to refer to people born of Indian ancestry who adopt Western culture as a lifestyle. The term is usually used in a derogatory fashion, and the connotation is one of disloyalty to one's country and one's heritage. It derives from Thomas Macaulay, the 19th century British historian and colonial administrator who regarded British culture as inherently superior to the Indian one, and who was the prime mover in replacing Sanskrit and Persian with English as the medium of instruction.[2] This attitude is often referred to as Macaulayism.
In areas where the indigenous nations were decimated by epidemics and their cultures, suffered generations of set-back the settler societies quickly outnumbered the colonized. In these cases, including much of North America, and Oceania, decolonization is now taking the form of indigenous decolonization in bringing back traditional cultural knowledge in the new society.
The race-conscious society of the United States is often cited as a prime example of colonial mentality. Numerous examples included the one drop rule and practice of the "Paper Bag Test", where African Americans were allowed or denied entry in Black-only social institutions (bars, night clubs, cinemas, sororities, fraternities, etc.) based on how light the skin tone was when compared to a brown paper bag. Those African Americans with skin tones the same or lighter than the paper bag were allowed entry. This practice of institutionalized colorism, favoring degrees of "whiteness", was exemplified more so by "The Blue Vein Society".
When U.S. slavery was at its zenith, a mulatto society known as "The Blue Vein Society" came into being.
The original "Blue Veins" were organized in New England. Their primary objective was to establish and maintain "correct" social standards amongst a people whose social condition, by virtue of their white bloodlines, was almost unlimited.[citation needed]
An outsider suggested that one must show "Blue Veins" to be eligible for membership. This suggestion was readily adopted by those who were not of the favored few; and "The Blue Vein Society" has been known as such ever since.
In the late 20th century, the "Black is Beautiful" movement successfully counteract most of the colonial mentality among African Americans by promoting dark skin and African features as ideals of high fashion.
The former subjects of the Spanish Empire in Hispanic America and the former Spanish East Indies are the most commonly cited examples where the phenomenon of colonial mentality may be found. Spanish conquistadors, the first European settlers in the New World, divided the conquered lands among themselves and ruled as feudal lords, treating their Amerindian subjects as something between serfs and slaves. Many Spaniards, however, objected to this encomienda system, notably Bartolomé de Las Casas, who insisted that the American indígenas (natives) were human beings with souls and rights and were, in the words of Queen Isabella I, "to be treated with justice and fairness".[3] Serfs stayed to work the land and imported African slaves were exported to the mines, where large numbers of them died. Largely due to the efforts of Bartolomé de Las Casas, the New Laws were adopted in 1542 to protect the Amerindians, but the abuses were not entirely or permanently abolished.
The Spaniards were committed to converting their Amerindian subjects to Roman Catholicism, and were quick to purge any native cultural practices that hindered this end. However, most initial attempts at this were only partially successful, as Amerindian groups simply blended Catholicism with their traditional beliefs. On the other hand, the Spaniards did not impose their language to the degree they did their religion, and the Roman Catholic Church even evangelized in Quechua, Nahuatl, Guarani, etc., contributing to the expansion of these Amerindian languages and equipping them with writing systems.[4]
In the Philippines colonial mentality is most evident in the existence of favoritism for Filipino mestizos (primarily those of mixed native Filipino and white ancestry, but also mixed indigenous Filipino and Chinese, and other ethnic groups) in the entertainment industry and mass media, in which they have received extensive exposure despite constituting a small population in the country.[5]
The Cádiz Constitution of 1812 automatically gave Spanish citizenship to all Filipinos regardless of race.[6] The census of 1883 indicated that 95% of the population of the Philippines was Asians (Austronesian Filipinos, indigenous Negrito Filipinos, Japanese Filipinos, Chinese Filipinos, Indian Filipinos, Indonesian Filipinos, Arab Filipinos, etc.), Aztecan Filipinos and African Filipinos (via the Manila Galleons between 1565 and 1815) while 4% comprised the Eurasians. Only 1% of the population was Peninsular Spanish and Insular Spanish Filipinos.[7]
Of the current demographics of the Philippines, the combined number of all types of Caucasian mestizos or Eurasians is 3.6%, according to a genetic study by Stanford University small sampling of 28 Filipinos from an undisclosed area of the country.[8]
Many Filipinos believe that the idealization of fair skin had its roots during the Spanish colonization. Actually, fairness of complexion was attested as a characteristic of the upper class women and appears as the standard of beauty among the Austronesian peoples of the pre-Hispanic Philippines. The desire for white skin is definitely not a result of colonial mentality during the Spanish rule.[9] Besides, the Philippines was a colony of the Majapahit Empire (1293–1527) based in Indonesia prior to Spanish colonization (1565-1898) and the American Empire was the last empire to colonize the Philippines (1898–1946) and it continues to serve as a neocolony of the United States despite its independence in 1946.[10][11]
One of the more adverse physical consequences in the idealization and acceptance of the racial concepts of colonial mentality can be seen in the high rate of consumer demand for skin bleaching products used by some indigenous women, also with a smaller percentage of indigenous men and brown-skinned mestizas and mestizos, in the Philippines.[5][12] Skin-whitening creams have for a long time been popular and widely used in much of the Philippines for the lightening of the skin tones in order to achieve the so-called "Mestizo look". The products are believed to be used primarily by women who have succumbed to the Filipino ideal and colonial doctrine of the idealization of mestizo beauty to the greatest extreme. The consumers of these products, whether conscious or subconsciously, are following the dangerous edict on beauty by continuing to use those products despite the extremely hazardous side effects to their health, including a high risk of various cancers due to many of its active ingredients, including mercury, and most important cancer, skin cancer, because of the lack of melanin that is the natural skin protection from the ultraviolet rays. These products have been banned in the USA due to the skin cancer risk and widely opposed by the public for triggering racial controversies, but their sale and demand in the Philippines and in some other tropical countries continues to be widespread.[13] Another thought to achieve the so-called "Mestizo look", some indigenous Filipino men and women of all classes dye their hair auburn (reddish-brown), golden brown, or blond, and/or changing their noses to aquiline, and/or enlarging their eye shapes.[citation needed]
Colonial mentality is also at the root of a long established indigenous/European Filipino tradition of ancestral ethnicity forgery used in the attempt to conform to the idealized "mestizo pedigree" dictated by the former colonial rulers Spanish-Filipino socio-racial hierarchy..[who?][citation needed] This racial ancestral forgery is characterized by the habit of some modern-day indigenous Filipino families of no European ancestry, and claiming mestizo ancestry.[citation needed] It is often accompanied by handed-down oral accounts of a presumed Spanish great-great-grandfather and grandmother with no evidence of Spanish blood in their genes, other than a Spanish surname[citation needed]. Most mestizo Filipinos have Spanish-names and surnames inherited from their Spanish ancestors, whereas most indigenous Filipinos with Spanish names and surnames acquired them as a result of the Catálogo Alfabético de Apellidos ["Alphabetic Catalogue of Surnames"] decreed to be imposed on the entire indigenous Filipino population by the Spanish royal courts in order to facilitate record-keeping and tax collecting..[citation needed]Template:Non-sourced bias Take note that a number of mestizo Filipinos with Spanish birth surnames have no Spanish blood, by having other white ancestors, including those of American blood through intermarriage with indigenous Filipino ancestors with Spanish surnames.[citation needed]
Colonial mentality can also be seen in somewhat the same form across Latin America. The demographic reality of Latin America is that around 36% is white and over 50% of its population is of part-white mixed race, either Mestizo (mixed white and Native American/Amerindian) or Mulatto (mixed White and black) or triracial (of mixed white, black and Native American).[14] The percentages vary widely by country. Argentina, Uruguay, Puerto Rico, and Costa Rica have large White majorities, and Cuba and Chile are majority-White per some sources. Brazil has a white plurality. Many other countries in the region have large white minorities, and a few have small white minorities. Amerindians, Asians, blacks, and Zambos (mixed Black and Amerindian) make up the remaining 14% of Latin America's population. In the Latin American context, the "Ideal of Beauty" is not to be of mixed European and other ancestry, as most Latin Americans already are of that ancestry, but rather to be purely of European ancestry. The same ideal is prevalent among Hispanic and Latino Americans, Latin American Australians, Latin American Canadians, and Latin American Britons.
The Latin American entertainment industry is saturated with white actors, with some mestizos, few mulattos, and almost no blacks or Amerindians. Many white actors have Nordic (Northern European) features: pale-skinned, blond and blue-eyed.[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] An occasional actor of Asian ancestry can be seen as well. The same situation happens in U.S. Hispanic entertainment industry.
This European idealisation of beauty has also led to a condition of racial forgery among many Latin Americans. However, in contrast to the Filipino experience where the majority is composed of unmixed native Filipinos of whom some attempt to claim mixed European blood, in Latin America the norm is for some within the mix-blooded majority to concentrate on attempting to diminish, hide or deny any non-European admixture. These people will then often claim to be pure Spanish or other European ancestry in their attempts to conform to the idealized pedigree dictated by their Spanish-Latin American socio-racial hierarchy. To achieve the "pure European look", many mixed-race people in the middle and upper classes use skin whitening products[12] and dye their hair blond, golden brown, auburn (reddish-brown), or red. Some members of the non-mixed races and non-white race engaged is similar practices, dyeing their hair, use skin whitening products,[12] and/or enlarging their eye shapes and/or changing their noses to aquiline, in the case of Native Americans, black Africans, and Asians to claim pure white race or partial-white mixed race.
Racial forgery in Latin America is often accompanied by handed-down but unproven oral accounts of a presumed Spanish great-great-grandparent and a Spanish surname. Most mixed-white race and white people in Latin America have Spanish surnames inherited from Spanish ancestors, while most other Latin Americans who have Spanish names and surnames acquired them through Christianization and Hispanicization of the indigenous and African slave populations by the Spanish friars, especially in order to ease record-keeping and tax collection, in the case of the Native Americans and Afro-Latin Americans. Racial forgery in Latin America was inherited from Spaniards, who some of themselves have non-European (more specifically native African) blood they deny[15]. The preference for fair skin in Latin America is seen as more attractive and more related to higher social status.[23][24]
A common joke in the United States, among both Hispanics and non-Hispanics alike, is the presence of more blonde and blue-eyed presenters and actors on US-based Spanish-language television networks such as Telemundo and Univision than on the English-language networks such as NBC, CBS, ABC, or Fox; but many Americans are critical and annoyed of having predominance of blond and blue-eyed presenters and actors on US-based Spanish-language television networks.[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] These issues are also addressed in White Hispanic and Latino Americans and Race in the United States.
Nada El-Yassir comments that "in certain areas in the Arab world; the lighter you are, the more beautiful you are considered." She also says that it is common that women in the upper classes dye their hair blond, and may use skin-lightening products,[12] like in some tropical countries. In some countries the implications of this hierarchy go so far as to affect one's social class and job opportunities.
Iman Al-Jazairi says "Looking at Arabic poetry and novels, it is interesting to see that pre-Islamic poetry up until western colonization at the eighteenth century, women were always described as having long, wavy, black hair, brown skin, black eyes with the white of the eyes very white. The body proportions were also bigger. During the later part of the nineteenth century and until very recently, light skinned, blond women have usurped the beauty standard in modern Arabic literature.[25]
The idea that some Quebecers hold a colonial mentality, due to the conquest of Quebec by the British and subsequent domination by English Canada is important in a segment of Québécois intellectual thought, notably within the Quebec nationalist and independence movements. These thinkers portray the relationship of Canada and Quebec as a dominant-dominated relationship and often consider the Quiet Revolution an event of decolonization. Those who are in favour of independence hold that Quebec sovereignty is another necessary decolonizing step. The colonial mentality concept has also been used to criticize the relationship some Québécois have with France, as Quebec was a colony of France in the era of New France.

Lettris is a curious tetris-clone game where all the bricks have the same square shape but different content. Each square carries a letter. To make squares disappear and save space for other squares you have to assemble English words (left, right, up, down) from the falling squares.
Boggle gives you 3 minutes to find as many words (3 letters or more) as you can in a grid of 16 letters. You can also try the grid of 16 letters. Letters must be adjacent and longer words score better. See if you can get into the grid Hall of Fame !

1 year deal
1 year deal
Go BLUE!!!
This give them a solid front four of Strasburg/Gio/Zimmerman/EJax and then either Lannan or Wang to round it out.
Their bullpen is solid and they have some really young, solid bats as well. If Stras stays healthy, they are still my prediction to win the NL East.
No Howard, Utley on the decline, a much weaker offense than a few years ago. Great rotation.
Offense is a little shaky, but with more potential than PHI, rotation might be a wash.
Very nice offense, but a weaker rotation.
Yeah, the Nats can contend.
Raisel Ghul, the Demon's Head
I'm not sure if they are ready for this year, but I'd be surprised if the Nats aren't in contention for a while beginning in 2013- especially if the Phillies lose Hamels.
Go BLUE!!!
Solid pick up for the Nats. I think they will contend.
Talent is God Given: be humble.
Fame is man given: be thankful.
Conceit is self given: be careful.
John Wooden
One has to wonder if some of these teams regret some of the signings that were made early. Waiting seems to be the key this year to getting a very good deal (for the team). It is shocking how many one year deals are being done.
Tim McCarver: Baseball Quotes
I remember one time going out to the mound to talk with Bob Gibson. He told me to get back behind the batter, that the only thing I knew about pitching was that it was hard to hit.
Nationals, Rays, Marlins, Blue Jays are all young and improving. Reds too.
Could be a changing of the guard in 2012.
"I can't take this homerism anymore." - 10xWSChamps, August 11, 2010. A Cardinals fan having a problem with all the homerism on Redszone. Classic.
"Man do I miss the days where were didn't need a calculator and an encyclopedia of baseball metrics to enjoy a baseball game ... - MikeS21" - 8/2/12 game thread
Gee. I wonder what happened to that 3 year deal Boras said somebody was offering...........
THT, have an interesting take on the NL East. They like the Braves to win the division, and the Nats to finish a full 10 games behind, in last place. They also have the Mets in front of the Phillies, which seems . . . unreasonable, to say the least.
Of course, I suppose I shouldn't complain about those projections too much, since they currently have the Reds tied for the most wins in baseball. Would 94 wins be too much to ask for?
Regardless, however, the Cairo projections over at Replacement Level Yankees seem to say you're not missing anything. They have the Mets winning 74 games and finishing last in the East.
I find it encouraging, by the way, that these projections have the Reds winning the NL Central as well.

50 year old man | Lake Balboa, CA, USA | Seeking women 36-50 within 50 miles of Van Nuys, CA
I believe in being humble, kind, honest, empathetic, caring, patient and very loving. I come from a very loving family.
My closest friends would describe as a very caring, honest, and giving type of person. Always there to lend a helping hand. Things that make me smile are the sun, the rain, old couples walking hand in hand, my sisters and mom, family, oh.....and SUSHIi!!. I'm very happy of where I'm at in my life because I'm content with who I am and what I've done up to this point. I'm grateful for all the amazing people in my life that surround me, both family and friends. I'm truly blessed in that respect. I'm hoping to find a wholesome type of lady that's got a bit of street smarts as well as an old-fashionedness about her. Somebody who's family orientated, but also likes to kick loose and have fun as well. Someone kind, gentle, empathetic, very very loving and affectionate, logical and playful. My social life varies from family events, to friends/get togethers, musical events, plays, physical activities, outdoors, short weekend trips, movies, travel, at home time, BBQ's. I'm usually up for pretty much anything/anytime. I also enjoy just kicking it at home relaxing. What makes me laugh out loud? Oh my gawsh. Really? Well.....hmmmm......maybe something I'd seen on the Colbert Report or The Daily Show? I like good humor. British humor is always good stuff. Monty Python. Eddie Izzard. Chris Rock. Dave Chappell. Laughter is such good therapy for the soul. As far as relationships are concerned, it would be nice to find someone that understands what it takes to be in healthy, dedicated and loving relationship. I mean sure, we all have our idiosyncrasies. But what I guess it really boils down to is....I'd be happy with somebody that I just can be myself with. Someone that knows how to let the small stuff roll off their backs because they realize that its all "small stuff". And someone that's a big believer in communication and talking things out. I don't like people with big tempers or that always resort to anger 1st. I'm a caring and giving kind of person, so someone that emulates similar traits would be awesome. I believe in kissing, hugging and showing affection often. So that's important too =)) I'm passionate about life in general. My work, my hobbies, music, learning, traveling, experiencing different things, history, science, the arts, on and on. I'm a huge student of many things and I think part of the great thing about living is....there are just so many things to experience and learn from. I guess I've never lost the wonderment of my childhood, so that keeps my mind young and inquisitive. I thought I'd say this since it's really not addressed in the Match options. I've never had kids. I've raised a few. One in a past relationship, and I was also the Father figure to my niece and nephew. So I understand what it takes to raise a family. I'm 48 years old now. I'm fine if you don't have kids, have kids, need a Father figure, don't need a Father figure or if you'd like to start a family. I can go all different ways. But it really depends on the person that I'm talking to and if they're ready for such a thing. The main thing I'm concerned with is the person that I'm with. And everything stems from there. Good luck everyone in your search!

Customer Raves & Reviews
Love, love, love!
My fiancé and I were so torn about what we wanted for invitations, but when we saw these we fell in love. We were able to personalize them the way we wanted, there were multiple different size options, and options for the extras like rsvp postcards (which are awesome). We love the invites and were INCREDIBLY impressed with how fast they came! 8 days from the night we ordered until they were on my doorstep! Love the invites, love the company, and excited to get the matching thank you's!
Love these Save the Dates! The quality is excellent and they look awesome! Everyone keeps telling me how cute and unique they are. I really love the storage box they came in too. I use it to hold all of my invitation things. Overall very happy buyer. Great product.
Perfect Pitch!
These magnets were exactly what my fiancé and I were looking for as a save the date. They are adorable and represent both he and I quite well! The customer service rep did email me asking if I wanted to change the picture as she feared it may come out blurry- it was a great catch, but luckily the picture ended up working out. All in all a great product! We're excited to use MagnetStreet for our wedding invitations and programs!
It turned out just like the preview beautiful
I was very pleased with the service and quality of the product, i would recommend this site. For others searching on the internet for quality companies this is one of them!

Trouble shot the electrical circuit per the electrical schematic and zeroed in when I noted the Defrost Timer circuit was open. When I tapped on the bottom of the timer it began functioning normally (for a few days). Ordered a new Defrost Timer Kit and along with the installation instruction, I watched the on-line video. It was very helpful!! After installation was complete, I plugged the Refrigerator into the electrical outlet and.......nothing happened! Hmmm! Removed the Defrost Time Kit and inspected it for any damage and found none. Then I placed a flathead screwdriver to the manual advance knob and slightly rotate the gear mechanism. I heard a distance "click". I believe the Timer was in the 'defrost' mode when received. I reinstalled the timer, verified the wiring connections and this time plugged the Refrigerator into the electrical outlet and ….. it worked!!!I unplugged the refrigerator, finished the installation per the instructions, plugged the unit in and monitored it for a few hours (just in case). That was a week ago and the Refrigerator is working like new. The instructions were written in a manner which required re-reading a few times as they could be a bit vague. The video was what really helped and I appreciate PartSelect adding it to the instructions.

Today was our 2nd developmental clinic visit. We had to go back 1 1/2 months after our first visit... That should have been the first warning sign! They are going to send Eli to physical therapy. Apparently the cute little tilt to his head isn't just a cute quirk... Then they pointed out the HUGE flat spot on the back of his head and are recommending that we see a craniologist (? is that the name?). Eli has different shaped ears and they are not right across from each other on his head... Apparently this is caused by the flat spot! :o( They want us to see about using a band to help correct this... Has anyone heard of this before???
On a happier note, Eli is right at 7 mo adj for all his developmental skills! :o)

Keith Olbermann Joining Current TV
It was only weeks ago that Keith Olbermann abruptly announced his departure from MSNBC's 'Countdown,' but it looks like the opinionated host might have already lined up his next television home.
According to The New York Times, Olbermann is moving to work with Current TV, a public affairs channel founded by Al Gore and other independent backers. Olbermann's official decision was made public via Current TV's website today.
"A few weeks ago, a great provocateur left the television airwaves," the announcement reads. "But we're bringing him back. We are pleased to announce that Keith Olbermann has selected Current TV as the new home for his exciting, thought-provoking, independent voice."
Sources claim Olbermann would have an equity stake in Current TV. A public relations agency hired by the host has already scheduled a Tuesday morning call for "an exciting announcement regarding the next chapter in (Olbermann's) remarkable career."
Olbermann's new network has set up a presentation for advertisers this Wednesday to announce its future plans. Adding a top-rated host with network experience might be what Current TV needs to become a part of mainstream cable. The network is targeted at young people, and while it has recently begun producing more traditional television series, it's largely comprised of YouTube-style submissions. It's only available in only about 60 million homes and usually not as a part of basic cable.
Since his departure from 'Countdown,' Olbermann has kept in touch with his fan base through his Twitter account. Two days before the official announcement, the Internet domain name TheOlbermannShow.com was registered, leading many to believe the liberal host already had his next gig in the works.

For anyone doubting whether the Leighton Meester sex tape that was leaked on Friday is real or not, these new Leighton Meester sex tape pictures definitely seem to point in the right direction. So far, there's been no word from Leighton's camp, so take that for what it's worth. I don't actually know what it's worth, but I do know that I can see what I believe are Leighton Meester's nipples, so I'm good either way.
Check out lots more evidence from the alleged Leighton Meester sex tape after the jump. If you ask me, it really does look like her.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The first question many doctors ask when new patients call for appointments is how they intend to pay. If the answer is Medicaid, the doctor can expect to lose money.
Medicaid problems hinge of doctor, nurse pay
The Texas Legislature has been balancing the state's budget by intentionally paying doctors 40 to 75 percent less for Medicaid patients than what private insurers pay for the same treatment. Doctors generally plan to do some charity work, but more and more physicians are reaching their limit, potentially leaving Texas' most vulnerable in a bind.
"When you are a physician and you see a Medicaid patient for a sick visit ... it basically costs more money to see them than what I get paid for," said Dr. Jason Terk, a pediatrician at Cook Children's Hospital in Fort Worth. "I accept Medicaid patients, but they can only be a certain percentage of my practice for me to do what I do. For me, it's anywhere between 10 percent and 15 percent of my practice."
The Medicaid reimbursement rate is at the center of the debate over whether to expand Medicaid to include more adults who can't afford health insurance. When Republican and Democratic politicians talk about how Medicaid is a "broken program," reimbursement rates are the biggest problem.
More than 3.6 million Texans rely on Medicaid, and of those 2.6 million are children and 538,000 are disabled, according to state figures. About 245,000 are elderly poor people, 128,000 are pregnant poor women and 125,000 are destitute. But while children comprise the vast majority of Medicaid patients, the disabled and elderly take up 58 percent of the budget.
The chairman of the House Appropriations sub-committee on health issues, Republican Rep. John Zerwas of Richmond, also happens to be a doctor and anesthesiologist. He admits those two hats put him in a dilemma because he helps craft the state budget that only pays him 25 percent of the commercial rate when he treats a child on Medicaid.
Zerwas said medical costs are growing faster than state revenues, which means every year it becomes more difficult to pay for Medicaid. The program is financed with roughly two federal dollars for every $1 the state spends, but those matching funds come with mandates for who gets treated for what and limits where the Legislature can trim the budget.
"You have to rein in your costs on the back of your service providers, that's your doctors, hospitals and nursing homes," Zerwas said. "We've whittled down the hospitals, we've whittled down the nursing homes, we've whittled down the physicians and ... we're at a point where we could see a significant dissolution of the network of providers that are going to participate."
The Texas Medical Association has sounded a similar warning. It polled its members and found that only 31 percent of Texas doctors are accepting any new Medicaid patients, while 26 percent will accept only some new patients. The group warns that with an ever-growing population and not enough doctors to keep up, Medicaid patients could find it tough to find doctors if more doctors stop taking Medicaid patients.

Mike Harding
6'1 280 lbs.
~5 years training ( 5 months serious training )
This will be my journal to track my progress over the months to hopefully being competition ready next spring. I reside in Tampa, Florida and plan on competing earliest possible 2013.
Typical split (as of 7/23)
Mon + Thurs: Chest, tris, shoulders
Tues + Fri: Legs, back, core
Currently maintaining weight. Just recently bulked (DIRTY) from 240 to 280.
Goals (as of 7/23):
1. Increase deadlift which has always been my weakest link
2. Get a gym membership somewhere with a squat rack... my gym only has a smith machine and I refuse to use it.
3. Be ready to compete at an amateur level (and win) by early 2013.
I've stalked this site and these forums for a little over 5 years now and tried two other journals. Work with me here as I actually succeed in keeping up a journal.
Diet: try to eat 3-4 solid meals a day. Usually end up overeating at night lately. Bad habit I haven't yet dropped from my bulking.
Supplements: Each morning I take fish oil, green tea extract and a multivitamin. Other than that it's just some sort of pre-workout and then whey protein after workout.

Japan says Chinese ships in disputed waters
Published on May 31, 2014 11:48 AM
TOKYO (AFP) - Two Chinese coastguard ships sailed into disputed waters off Japan-administered islands in the East China Sea on Saturday, officials said, as the United States warned Beijing over increasing territorial assertiveness.
The Japanese coastguard said the vessels entered the 12-nautical-mile band of territorial waters around one of the Senkaku islands, which China also claims and calls the Diaoyus, around 10am (9am Singapore time).
Chinese vessels and aircraft have regularly approached the East China Sea archipelago - thought to harbour natural resources - since Tokyo nationalised some of the islands in September 2012, setting off the latest spate of incidents in a long-running territorial dispute.
Saturday's incursion was the first of official Chinese vessels into the disputed waters since May 2 and the 12th this year.

At its most basic level, a filter is a program that accepts input, transforms it and outputs the transformed data. The idea of the filter is closely associated with several ideas that are part of the UNIX operating system: standard input and output, input/output redirection and pipes.
Standard input and output refer to default locations from which a program will take input and to which it will write output. The standard input (STDIN) for a program running interactively at the command line is the keyboard; the standard output (STDOUT) is the terminal screen.
With input/output redirection, a program can take input or send output using a location other than standard input or output—a file, for example. Redirection of STDIN is accomplished using the < symbol, redirection of STDOUT by >. For example,
ls > list
redirects the output of the ls command, which would normally go to the screen, into a file called list. Similarly,
cat < listredirects the input for cat, which in the absence of a file name would be expected from the keyboard, to come from the file list--so we output the contents of that file to the screen.
Pipes are a means of connecting programs together through I/O redirection. The symbol for pipe is |. For example,
ls | less
is a common way of comfortably viewing the output from a directory listing where there are more files than will fit on the screen.
Simple programs provided as standard with your Linux system can be enhanced by using them as filters for other similar programs. I'll also show how simple programs of your own can be built to meet custom filtering needs.
One program I don't look at in this article is Perl. Perl is a programming language in its own right, and filters are language-independent.
The program grep, "Get Regular Expression and Print", is a good place to begin. (See "Take Command: grep" by Jan Rooijackers, March 1999.) The principle of grep is quite simple: search the input for a pattern, then output the pattern. For example,
grep 'Linus Torvalds' *
searches all files in the current directory for Linus' name.
Various command-line switches may be used to modify grep's behaviour. For example, if we aren't sure about case, we can write
grep -y 'linus torvalds' *
The -y switch tells grep to match without considering case. If you use any upper-case letters in the pattern, however, they will still match only upper-case. (This is broken in GNU grep, which simply ignores case when given the -y switch—that's what the -i switch does).
With just this bit of information about grep, it is easy to construct a practical application. For example, you could store name and address details in a file to create a searchable address book.
Sometimes, basic grep won't do. For instance, suppose we want to find all occurrences of a text string which could possibly be a reference to Linus. Clearly, searching for 'Linus Torvalds' is not enough—that won't find just Linus or Torvalds. We need some way of saying, "This or this or this". Here is where egrep (extended grep) comes in. This handy program modifies standard grep to provide just such a conditional syntax by using the | character to denote "or".
egrep 'Linus Torvalds|L\. Torvalds|Mr\. Torvalds' *
will now find most ways of naming the inventor of Linux. Note the backslash to "escape" the period. Since it is a special character in regular expressions, we must tell egrep not to interpret it as a "magic" character.
tr is perhaps the epitome of filters. (See "Take Command: A Little Devil Called tr" by Hans de Vreught, September, 1998.) Short for translate, tr basically does what its full name suggests: it changes a given character or set of characters to another character or set of characters. This is done by mapping input characters to output characters. An example will make this clear:
tr A-Z a-z
changes upper-case letters to lower-case. A-Z is shorthand for "all the letters from A to Z".

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced the elimination of the ban against general solicitation for offerings relying on Rule 506 of the Regulation D exemption. The amendments to the rule were required by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act ("JOBS Act"). This could change how Regional Centers attract investors through the EB-5 green card program. The SEC requires registration of ALL offers by a company to sell securities unless they meet certain expensive and time consuming exemptions. These exemptions are governed by SEC Regulation D ("Reg D"). These offerings faced several offer restrictions to ensure that small businesses were not targeting vulnerable consumers, including the prohibition against General Solicitation and General Advertising. This prohibition was a major issue for EB-5 centers because announcing availability in a Regional Center for EB-5 applicants was considered against the Reg D offering limitations. The removal of this barrier provides a relief to EB-5 Regional Centers seeking investors interested in opportunities for their capital and could further increase the number of EB-5 applicants.
