Grilled Cheese (Wow I Feel Uncreative!)
I haven't made anything new in a long time, just old standby items, and not even many of them. I'm trying to finish up two papers, class prep, and move, which seems to suck up all available brain power....
But just because there's been a lack of content, I'll discuss an old standby, the grilled cheese sandwich. According to a family legend, my father---who is no cook---lived for six months on grilled cheese, popcorn and beer, as these were the only things he knew how to make. I'm not sure I believe it but grilled cheese is very adaptable.
Based entirely on experimentation, the keys to success are:
-Standard width slices of bread, not too thick or thin. Make the bread good, so a nice pane, sourdough, etc. Bread with fillings like olive loaf might be good, too, if it complements the cheese.
-Pick between one and three cheeses. Nearly any of the obvious ones will do, cheddar, mozzarella, provolone, etc. If a cheese doesn't melt well, it's not a good candidate, at least for the dominant component of the sandwich.
-Cut the cheese into uniform pieces and arrange on the bread uniformly (get the pattern? :).
-Fillings such as ham, bacon, olives (or ???---whatever you think matches the cheese) are optional but do make for a nice sandwich. Don't overload the sandwich, though, or it'll never melt on the inside before the bread is incinerated on the outside.
-Lube both sides with butter or, if you're lazy, no stick spray. (Butter tastes better, no question.)
-Medium to medium low heat in a skillet. A lid is helpful to make the cheese melt but you don't want to let the bread get soggy so finish without the lid.
-Don't crowd the pan!
-You will have carryover, just like for anything else. So if the cheese isn't absolutely perfectly melted but the bread is GBD, turn off the heat and let it stand in the pan for a few minutes.
Some thoughts on grilled cheese
- If you have a griddle, use it.
- If you have some garlic butter, herb butter, or even honey butter around, using that on the bread can lead to some amazing results (depending on the cheese you choose). Alternately, a bit of grated parmesan (or other hard, salty, umamiriffic cheese) works wonders when mixed in with the butter on the bread.
- Don't be afraid of using fancy cheeses. Sometimes I'm left with a wee bit of something in the fridge. Grilled cheese is a great way of using it up in a really indulgent manner.
- Tomato soup.
- Extra-sharp cheddar with a few thin slices of apple or pear.
- In the past, when I've wanted to make sure my grilled cheese was perfectly melted, I've started it open-faced in the oven (sometimes using the broiler a bit), before finishing it in a pan or on a griddle.

It was a mac cosmetics six
It was a mac cosmetics six-page letter, north face outlet unlike any he had ever written before. moncler It did not have the tone, or thestyle, or the rhetorical air of timberland his early years p90x workout of love, ugg,ugg australia,ugg italia and his argument was so rational andmeasured that the scent of canada goose uk a gardenia would have been out of place. In a certain sense it was hisclosest approximation to the business letters he had never been ray ban sunglasses able to write. Years later, louboutin a typedpersonal letter would be considered almost an insult, but at that gucci,borse gucci,gucci sito ufficiale,gucci outlet time the typewriter was still oakley,occhiali oakley,oakley italia anoffice giuseppe zanotti animal without its own code of ethics, vans,vans scarpe,vans italia and barbour jackets its baseball bats domestication for personal hollister use was notforeseen in the louis vuitton books on etiquette. It seemed ralph lauren more like bold modernity, which was how prada outlet FerminaDaza thomas sabo must nfl jerseys have ray ban pas cher understood it, for louis vuitton in her second moncler,moncler letter to Florentino Ariza, she began by begginghis pardon for any difficulties in reading her handwriting, since polo ralph lauren outlet she did not louboutin shoes have at her disposalany means more advanced than her steel pen.Florentino Ariza did not even vans shoes refer to the terrible polo ralph lauren outlet letter that she vanessa bruno had insanity workout sent him, moncler outlet but from thevery hollister beginning hollister pas cher he attempted a new method of seduction, without any montre pas cher reference to past loves wedding dresses oreven to the past nike free itself: a clean slate. Instead, he wrote north face outlet an extensive meditation on life based on supra shoes hisideas about, and hogan experience of, relations between men and women, which at one time he hadintended to write as air max,nike air max a complement hollister to michael kors outlet the Lovers' Companion. Only now he disguised it in thepatriarchal style of an old true religion jeans man's memories so that beats by dre it would nike air max not be too obvious that it was chanel handbags really soccer shoes adocument chi flat iron of karen millen love. First he wrote many draughts in his old style, which took longer toms shoes to read with louis vuitton acool head than to marc jacobs throw into the fire. But oakley sunglasses he knew nike free run uk that any conventional slip, coach outlet the slightestnostalgic indiscretion, could revive converse outlet the unpleasant abercrombie and fitch taste michael kors of the past wedding dresses in hollister her heart, and asics running shoes although heforesaw her juicy couture outlet returning michael kors outlet a hundred letters to him ray ban,rayban,occhiali ray ban before she dared open birkin bag the first, he preferred that itnot happen even once.

In the beginning, longchamp outlet the frequency of his letters was true religion jeans conditioned by the dexterity ofhis air jordan pas cher fingers: first jimmy choo shoes one a nike air max week, longchamp then two, and at last one a abercrombie and fitch day.

Barcelona ace Deco has jumped to the defence of Portugal teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Manchester United ace invoked the ire of Roma players last week with his dazzling skill, but Deco insists he wasn't showboating: "I have heard some people have criticised his play in the match against Roma.
"This is how Ronaldo plays. It's part of his game. He does not want to humiliate anyone. The only thing he wants is that football becomes beautiful, rather than ugly.
"People have fun watching the quality players, that is what Cristiano intends."

I'm a cookbook reviewer, which means that every night I try recipes from far-flung cuisines or idiosyncratic food bloggers or test-kitchen perfectionists. I've always made a point of steering readers towards practical, thoughtful cookbooks that they'll use every week and hand down to their kids. But privately, there are some cookbooks I never cook from at all: frivolous books full of whimsical sugar art, devoid of nutritional value, and really, best eaten with your eyes. They are a kind of culinary Versailles, and most of us will find them better suited for gawking at than for actual aproning up. I adore them anyhow.

MMORPG Recommendation Please - Quite Long

Re: MMORPG Recommendation Please - Quite Long
Here are my recommendations:
A Tale in the Desert - ATITD - Free to try and download. They have extensive social interaction and a neat idea. Like I said, free to try, so why not fool with it until while you are waiting on other games to come out of the pipeline? No combat... although, it's a very different game, so don't let the lack of violence keep you from giving it a try.
City of Heroes - CoH, CoV - Some good social interaction and good story. Cheaper to get into the game now. Content is a little short, however.
Final Fantasy Online - Not played this myself, but I am told it is group based PvE. I am planning to try it when I get some time.
I'm waiting for new MMORPGs to come out, too. Something with a clean interface, a polished rule-set and lots of social interaction. In my opinion, WoW misses the boat on social interaction. After playing for over a year, here is my experience: From level 1-55, I had trouble finding groups (as a healer, none-the-less) and finding terrible pick-up-groups. Members in my large guild were either too high or too low for a balanced dungeon run. Plus, you have to wait long times for people traveling across Azeroth to arrive.
I kept hoping that when I reached 60 that everything would change since everyone was the same level. Instead of nice, simple level 60 grouping, WoW drives level 60s to get their uber-gear through large raids. So, then I started hoping that getting into a raid guild would be where I would have the group-focused dungeon experiences. Didn't find it there either! Fast forward to a new server, getting yet another PC up to level 60, and me joining a raiding guild. Turns out, raids are the most boring things in the world... everyone standing around and doing their one or two things over and over... and WAITING... oh, gawd the waiting. Waiting hours for the raid to start, waiting 10-15 even 30+ minutes between fights...
In short, I spent over a year diving in the deeps of Lake Warcraft, only to find the social experience is simply not there. It's tragic because you look at the polished surface and think, well, it MUST be there somewhere. For me, it was very disappointing to find it was not. So, yes, very much hoping for those new MMORPGs to come out.
Here is the big question I will review in future MMOGs: Can you group with people of different levels and still have a fun experience? That's the tell-tale sign. If the game starts with the premise that players cannot work together unless certain requirements are met, then you KNOW the rest of the game is not going to be socially-inclined! Okay, rant off, good luck finding your next game.

Critics of Montgomery County schools' new sex-education curriculum, which includes discussion of homosexuality, are arguing that the lessons are illegal because state law requires class material be "factually accurate." Teaching students that homosexuality is innate, lawyers for the religiously conservative opponents say, is inaccurate; school district lawyers said the opponents are inappropriately trying to gain editorial control over school curriculum.

Black diamond stuff is awesome. I'm a climbing instructor in Colorado, and I use this to belay countless kids on the daily. Brakes nicely, rope smooth. Had a couple of these biners already, they're a great size for belaying.
Not a whole lot of moving parts. If you can't figure out how to use it, you shouldn't be belaying anyone in the first place. The variable friction is a nice feature especially when you are holding a lot of weight. Morale of the story, buy it.
well, buying that is going to depend on your purpose.. i got it, and for its purpose it is great, also it is kind of cheap for what it is worth. Nonetheless, i ended up following in love for the grigri and finding it a bit more safe and easy for simply doing security... so you should figure out what you like best, who are going to be your climbing partners and their preferences and stuff like that... it ended up that my whole crew now uses grigris so i ended up going with the flow...
I have been climbing for a few years now and started on a figure eight to belay and repel. After a buddy of mine let me use this I never went back! The braking is really intense but smooth. I still prefer an eight to repel but this thing works great for it too.
This device, combined with the locking biner is essential. A great choice for a beginner belayer or climber. The teeth on the ATC aid in friction to help stop the rope on a fall and the ATC itself is quite light. What I really really like about the combo is that fact that it includes a locking carabiner though. ALL belay devices should be used with locking carabiners and I personally have seen many which do not have one while in use. Again, for a beginning climber, the locking biner and ATC combo is great and adds a certain margin of safety to a belayer's skills automatically.
This is a really good deal. You can save some money if you buy both of these items together. The color of both devices are really cool, I could not ask for anything more that what i order. I am a current student at a university learning the in's and out's of climbing. But if you want to have fun while climbing you much enjoy the hobbie
Bought this as a Christmas gift for myself and it has been serving me very well since. Very smooth when belaying someone, and if they fall it catches them immediately. The biner is very nice as well and it is pretty light. Overall a great buy and totally worth the extra few bucks compared to the Big Air Package.
Got this on sale at Moosejaw and it's ballin'. Used the standard ATC in the past, but I dig the high friction mode on the XP (I can belay my bud who ways 230 lbs with no problem). The biner is real light and super smooth as well. I would recommend this for anyone not wanting a solid manual belay device.
I can't stand belaying without the teeth anymore. I don't think i'll ever get a device that doesn't have teeth unless its an auto lock. This is also a very useful biner. I don't use much on for belaying any more because I have a grid lock but it still gets used a lot for other purposes.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
In recent weeks you've been goodmaybe a little too good, actuallyabout obeying all the signs, remaining loyal to reliable sources even when they weren't helpful, and averting your eyes from the places where you weren't "supposed" to look. But in the coming days, Capricorn, I'd appreciate it if you did just the opposite. Question every rule, please; even if you ultimately follow it, at least subject it to intense scrutiny. And about those reliable sources: Don't dump them unceremoniously, but on the other hand, do hold them to higher standards. As for the sights you've been politely avoiding: Explore them with piercing curiosity.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
This horoscope has a complicated theme, Aquarius, but I think you, of all people, can handle it. Just to make sure you understand what the cosmic forces are trying to tell you, I'll present the same basic message from five different angles. (1) Have fun as you foment benevolent rebellion. (2) Do good even as you tamper with the status quo. (3) Blend the moral perspective of a humanitarian with the rowdy helpfulness of a kind trickster. (4) Shake everyone up with the infectious cheer of your righteous teasing. (5) Be an unpredictable, joy-dispensing, fear-dispersing troublemaker.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
I wish I could get one of those 11 newly discovered moons of Jupiter named after you. I wish I could sell NBC a sitcom based on the story of your life. I wish I could rent you your own personal Buddhist monk to pray for you three hours a day and fix you sacred desserts 10 times a week. I'd love for you to be able to know what it's like to be fought over by two smart, attractive suitors.

Tamil Nadu
R. Ilangovan
SALEM: A detailed report supported by video clips on the incidents that took place when actor Kushboo came to Mettur on November 16 to appear before Judicial Magistrate II will be submitted to the Tamil Nadu Government shortly.
The court had issued a non-bailable warrant against Kushboo on a private petition against her reported remarks on pre-marital sex.
Highly placed official sources told The Hindu that Tahsildar H. Faiz Mohammed Khan, who is the Taluk Executive Magistrate of the area, has submitted a two-page "law and order" report on the incidents to the Salem Collector. The latter is expected to forward it to the Government shortly.
The sources claim that the report, accompanied by video clips and photos from the police, show the violent incidents despite a strong police presence. The clips reportedly show hundreds of cadres of the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) and the Viduthalai Siruthaigal (DPI) who had assembled in front of the court hall to protest against the actor.
The protesters were seen raising slogans, "often bordering on obscenity." They threw footwear, rotten tomatoes and eggs at the actor's car when she came out of the court. The police were forced to use mild force to disperse the "militant" crowd, which menacingly surged towards the car in which the actor travelled, the sources said.
DPI's Mettur town organiser Meiyyalagan and others participated in the agitation. The police had a tough time controlling the women members of the PMK. The sources said one of the video clips showed a woman standing among the DPI protesters carrying a slipper in her left hand just before the actor's car arrived at the court.
PMK cadres argued with the police after the actor's car left the scene and even gheraoed the Tahsildar who tried to pacify them. They picketed the court hall condemning the police for not permitting them to stage a "peaceful protest" as the actress was coming out. A senior PMK party functionary, Tamilarasu, who was in Mettur at the time, demanded a RDO enquiry into "police atrocities against peaceful agitators."

Fifth-Gen Chevy Camaro Turbo Kit - Under Pressure
Fastlane's ZL1 turbo kit lists at $7,995 and includes a BorgWarner 72mm turbocharger, 60-lb/hr fuel injectors, a custom air-to-air intercooler, a stainless exhaust manifold, a 2.5-inch crossover pipe, a 3.5-inch downpipe, and a TiAL wastegate and blow-off valve. All necessary clamps, silicone hoses, oil lines, and fittings are included as well. Since the factory exhaust manifolds flow so well, the ZL1 kit retains the stock passenger-side manifold, which feeds the custom Fastlane header on the driver side through the crossover pipe.
The bulk of BorgWarner's turbochargers power industrial vehicles, but they work extremely well in performance applications and pack some serious punch. The 72mm unit used in the ZL1 kit features a 4-inch compressor inlet, a 3-inch compressor outlet, and a 0.94 A/R ratio. With a slightly larger exhaust housing, this 72mm turbo has boosted fully built LS combos to 920 rwhp at 17 psi.
The first wave of disassembly involves disconnecting the battery and then removing the stock air box, engine cover, and front bumper cover. The top of the bumper cover is attached with both 10mm bolts and plastic push pins, and two 7mm bolts hold the corners in place. A small flathead screwdriver works best when prying off the plastic pins. The bumper wiring harness-which powers the headlights, turn signals, foglights, and ambient air temperature sensor-must be disconnected from beneath the passenger-side headlight before removing the bumper cover.
After removing the stock driver-side exhaust manifold, the new Fastlane header bolts into place using the factory hardware and gasket. The Delco spark plugs are also replaced with NGK TR6s, which are one heat range colder than stock. The front two cats on the passenger-side exhaust manifold are removed as well.
The factory positive battery cable is held by a bracket on the driver-side shock tower. Since the heat produced by the turbo can potentially melt it, Fastlane relocates it to the other side of the inner fenderwell. This involves drilling out three spot welds that hold the battery cable bracket to the shock tower, then routing it into an existing hole in the wheelwell. Next, the battery cable is bolted to the alternator cable before being shrink-wrapped for a fail-proof connection.
To help lay the battery cable flat and prevent it from rubbing on the shock, Fastlane cut a small section out of the inner fenderwell. Zimmerman enlarges the existing opening behind the shock by making two inch cuts downward using an air saw. This must be done carefully, since the A/C lines are routed in the same vicinity. For extra protection, the cables are covered in heat wrap before re-installing the plastic fender liner.
A trick feature of the BorgWarner turbo is that its compressor and exhaust housings attach to the center section with V-band clamps instead of bolts. This makes both clocking and disassembling the turbo a quick and easy affair. For ease of handling, Zimmerman prefers bolting the turbo to the header in separate sections.
After installing the exhaust housing onto the T4 flange on the Fastlane turbo header, Zimmerman slides the center section into place. Since the center section still needs to be clocked, the V-band clamps aren't tightened down all the way just yet.
For proper drainage, the center section of the turbo should be clocked so that the oil inlet and outlet are positioned at a 30-degree angle. Generally, the closer the turbo is to the oil pan, the closer to vertical the angle of the oil fittings must be to assist with drainage. Since the turbo in this application sits relatively high in the chassis, this isn't necessary. After clocking the center section, a -4AN feed line and a -10AN drain line are attached to the turbo.
It takes a bit of finagling to wrestle the compressor housing past the upper radiator hose. Unlike the exhaust housing, the compressor housing is clocked so that the discharge outlet points at the intercooler inlet. Again, the V-band clamp isn't completely tightened at this point to allow for some fine tuning once the intercooler piping is installed.
Drilling and tapping for the turbo's oil feed and drain lines can be intimidating, but it's actually not too difficult. To feed pressurized oil to the turbo, Fastlane taps into a passage about 1-inch behind the factory oil cooler on the driver side of the motor. Zimmerman starts by drilling a 1/8-inch hole, then cuts a new set of threads with a 1/8-inch tap before screwing in a -4AN adapter fitting. To keep metal out of the oil passages, the cutter should be packed with bearing grease.
Tapping the oil pan follows a similar procedure. The best spot to tap is right below the knock sensor on the passenger-side of the block, roughly 1/2-inch below the oil pan rail. Zimmerman first drills a 1/8-inch guide hole, enlarges it, and then cuts some threads with a 3/8-inch tap. A 3/8-to-10AN adapter fitting is then screwed in before hooking up the oil drain line. Just in case some metal shavings slip into the pan, Zimmerman recommends draining the existing oil, then running another seven quarts through the pan before filling it back up. Due to the heat generated by the turbo, Fastlane suggests running 20W-50 weight oil.
Fastlane's front-mount air-to-air intercooler measures 18x12.5x3.5 inches and features a 3-inch inlet and outlet. Before installing it, the inner bumper support must be removed from the frame by unbolting four 13mm bolts that hold it to each side of the frame. The top of the intercooler attaches to a custom bracket that bolts to the hood latch mounting holes, while the bottom is stabilized by the intercooler piping. For additional clearance, the ambient air temperature sensor needs to be removed from inside the bumper cover, and relocated onto the bumper wiring harness with zip ties.
To maximize efficiency and minimize heat soak, the intercooler discharge piping is kept as short as possible. Its aluminum construction also promotes superior heat dissipation over steel. The lower portion of the pipe attaches to the intercooler with a silicone hose, and also features a provision for the TiAL blow-off valve, which bolts up using a V-band clamp. If the blow-off valve is positioned too close to the MAF sensor, it can throw off the air metering and air/fuel mixture. Consequently, the ZL1 kit positions it 8 inches away from the MAF sensor.
The upper portion the intercooler discharge pipe connects the lower pipe to the throttle body with silicone couplers at each end. For ease of assembly, Zimmerman greases the insides of the couplers.
The first step in hooking up the intercooler inlet to the cold side of the turbo is installing an aluminum U-bend, which routes compressed air around the radiator. The clamps should be left fairly loose until finalizing the alignment of the pipes.
Since the compressor discharge side of the turbo is highly pressurized, the upper intercooler pipe attaches to it with a V-band clamp to ensure a leak-free seal. Lining it up with the lower discharge pipe can be a chore, so this step usually requires an extra set of hands.
When designing a turbo kit, there's an old adage that advises against out-thinking yourself, and that certainly applies to Fastlane's setup. The hot side piping routes exhaust from the factory passenger-side manifold into the turbo header on the driver side. Traditional wisdom says that exhaust should be routed off of each bank of cylinders separately before being merged together in front of the turbo. Nevertheless, Fastlane has tested both types of setups without seeing any difference in horsepower. The simplicity of the ZL1 kit helps reduce cost.
After attaching the crossover pipe to the stock exhaust manifold and Fastlane's turbo header, the next step is bolting the downpipe to the turbo exhaust outlet. Fastlane uses V-band clamps at all critical connections on the hot piping, which virtually eliminates leaks.
The TiAL wastegate regulates boost by bleeding off excess exhaust volume from the crossover pipe-before it reaches the turbo-then dumping it into the downpipe. Sections of strategically placed flex piping reduce stress at the joints as the motor torques over on its mounts.
The final piece of the puzzle on the exhaust side is a stainless steel Y-pipe that connects the downpipe to the factory mid-pipes in front of the catalytic converter. It necks down to 2.5 inches to maintain compatibility with the stock exhaust system.
The added weight of the turbo system compresses the driver side motor mount enough to cause interference issues between the steering shaft and the bulky 3.5-inch downpipe. Fastlane's solution is wedging a 3/8-inch thick spacer between the K-member and the motor mount for extra clearance.
According to Fastlane, the stock fuel pump flows well enough to support 580 rwhp. Optional is a dual in-tank pump (left) that allows cranking up the boost from 7 to 10 psi for an additional 50 hp. After dropping the tank, it mounts in place of the factory sending unit.
The new 60-lb/hr high impedance fuel injectors included with the kit are slightly taller than stock, so Fastlane includes a spacer that fits between the intake manifold and the fuel rail bracket. The bottom O-rings on the stock injectors are slightly thicker than on the replacement injectors, so they must be transferred over to prevent leaks.
The factory location of the A/C lines runs right next to the turbo, which means they'd melt in no time. To prevent this, the ZL1 kit includes a new A/C line with a U-bend that re-routes the hose behind the motor.
The flow of the factory PCV system assumes that ambient air pressure will be greater than the pressure inside the intake manifold. Consequently, adding forced induction to the mix will pressurize the crankcase. To prevent this, Fastlane caps off the port on the lifter valley cover, and adds a T-fitting to the vacuum port located behind the throttle body on the intake manifold. New hoses are then routed from the valve cover nipples to a catch can-provided by Fastlane-that bolts to the driver-side shock tower. A breather on the oil filler provides fresh air to the crankcase, and the catch can captures any oil that might leak out of the valve covers.
The T-fitting plumbed into the vacuum port of the intake manifold serves two purposes. One end of it attaches to the blow-off valve while the other end connects to the wastegate, since both must have an accurate manifold signal to function properly. All vacuum hoses are included with the ZL1 kit.
Although big changes in boost are a no-no without reprogramming the computer, a Turbo XS manual boost controller does allow for minor variations in adjustability and power. It works by tapping into the vacuum line that runs from the intake manifold to the wastegate. By manipulating the signal that the wastegate sees, it can summon up additional boost.
Fastlane's ZL1 turbo kit boasts excellent fit and finish, and doesn't require hacking up the car in any way. The finished product is super clean and looks like GM installed the BorgWarner 72mm turbo at the factory.
The Camaro that this particular turbo kit was installed on during our visit to Fastlane packs a forged 408ci short-block topped with stock L92/L99 heads. Its beefy rotating assembly and 9.5:1 compression allowed turning up the boost to 11 psi, which is good for 687 hp and 673 lb-ft of torque at the rear wheels on pump gas. And that's through an automatic trans. After dyno tuning the motor, the inner bumper support and bumper cover were reinstalled.
Even with a power-sapping 6-speed automatic trans, the ZL1 turbo kit lays down nearly 530 hp and 585 lb-ft of torque at the rear wheels with a stock motor. Manual trans cars put out 50 hp more. Included with every turbo kit is a custom dyno tune using EFI Live software. For pump gas compatibility and to ensure long piston life, Fastlane dials back the timing from the stock 28 degrees of advance down to 12 degrees. If the stock pistons could handle it, which they can't, bumping up the timing to 17 degrees would be worth an extra 70 hp. For mail order customers, Fastlane sends out a custom computer program that can be loaded up with an SCT tuner.

I've been practically living in this trench coat lately trying to stay warm in LA's cooler temperatures. Honestly, I don't know what it is lately, but the weather just can't seem to make up it's mind. Hot and sunny one day, doom and gloom the next. Normally, I would just reach for a sweater or a leather jacket when it gets like this, but lately, I've become a huge fan of a trench coat, for it's definitely a cozier, and in many ways warmer option.
Love this particular one I found at All Saints because of the slightly slouchier, softer silhouette. You know how much I love versatility, and this one works with just about anything from dresses, to jeans and denim cutoffs. I've even warn it for cocktails the other day pairing it with a fitted pencil skirt and a pair of heels and loved the way it looked! And when you find something that works day and night and looks good with essentially everything in your closet, you know it's a keeper:)

How to Live With an STD

Posted by
1. Be yourself, and be patient. No matter what situation it is you are going through, and don't ever let anyone make you feel bad about yourself.
2. Find as many supportive communities as you can. It makes you feel like you're not alone in your suffering or misery.
3. Knowing the fact about STDs is very important, it is not the end of the world but just a simple virus that can be controlled by you the carrier. Don't let it take over your happiness because there is much more to life than being depressed.
4. Remember that there a lot of people with STD'S, not the end of our social world because of it, at all!..Embrace it, be frank about yourself, and deal with it that way , and if your partner, dosnt understand , educate he or she about it, i am quite sure they will understand, after they get over the inital shock, if they dont then obviously they are not the right mate for you anyways !!
5. Surround yourself with great positive people who understand, sympathize, or can relate to your situation and make healthy choices. Living, laughing, loving is up to you... there are great guys and girls out there... they aren't hard to find... just make sure you don't lie to them or yourself. The right people will come along and stay and the wrong people will be filtered out. God bless you and remember to stay positive.
6. You have to accept what you have and let go of the past and live in the future. You have so much more life ahead, dont wasted it on being misable because life had thrown you a curve ball. Get into a support group and meet others who understand they will help through this, so you can start living again.

It's on!
I agree memory bandwidth is good, and that the 5900 series has better shader performance, but:
1. I don't think you'll see a huge difference in at playable settings in either card (i.e. you have to hit the limit of your bandwidth for it to be an issue)
2. Your argument is based on the supposition the part you buy will OC it's memory
MHz, which is a pretty huge OC for that slow RAM they put in cards made to spec at 350Mhz. (i.e. to go from 700MHz effective to 900MHz effective, you have to bump RAM speed from 350>450MHz)
3. Not everyone wants to/can OC
4. 5800Us OC too, both memory and core (look at what Waltar ran his at-
560/1200(!) )
Anyway, my original post was mainly to point out the many persisting misconceptions about the much misunderstood and maligned 5800U, which I've been loving using for months now.

Final Fantasy XV Director Says an All-Male Party Makes the Game "More Approachable"
Because girls have cooties?
Final Fantasy XV looks amazing. ...And by that I mean its visuals. Its gender representation, on the other hand, looks terrible. The game's main party is dudes-only as we had previously feared, and Hajime Tabata, the director, not only made that choice consciously, but specifically to make the game "more approachable" for players. We'll pause here to let you pick your head back up off your desk.Read More

*** Official Quake 4 Feedback Thread ***
Post comments after you've actually purchased and played the game :)
Request for comments on...
I know this post is going to look a little deceptive, and if the Mods would rather that this thread is purely for posts on experiences, I'd totally be happy for them to delete it. That said, I was wondering if I could make a couple requests of those who do get the game first - Basically I'd like to know a couple things, or your thoughts about them, being that I have to wait until Friday until it's released in my slightly small country:
1. Do Gladiators make a proud return? I've not seen any in screenshots, but I'm hoping they'll actually be in the game (they were my favourite enemy... y'know... the big guys with Robot Legs, a massive knife and a Railgun who made that crazy cry and then charged.)
2. What's the soundtrack like? I've not yet seen much about the music present in the game. Is it orchestral? Rock-y like in Q2? Etc...
3. Does it feel like Quake 2 at all? Or totally different? Obviously the squad dynamic is going to change the gameplay, but does it have that awesome Quake 2 "feel"?
Cheers in advance to any who answer!
EDIT: 1 Additional question for anyone who views this later and gets the game early - Can you still change your character's handedness? It was always nice for us lefties to be able to put the gun on the left. Y'know... just kinda cool.
Re: *** Official Quake 4 Feedback Thread ***
My initial thoughts after playing it for only a half hour or so.........
Graphically is excellent, sound track is great, rock style.
Never played Q2 so can't compare, but my best desciption so far
would be a fast, frantic paced Doom3 with squad mates (in fact some of the indoor levels you'd think you were playing Doom3)
Nevertheless, I'm enjoying it very much.
A teaser for you...........
Re: *** Official Quake 4 Feedback Thread ***
G'day, tis not too bad I reckon. :)
Re: *** Official Quake 4 Feedback Thread ***
looks and sounds fookin awesome,
cant wait till friday!!
Re: *** Official Quake 4 Feedback Thread ***
How about some timedemo scores along with system specs? Perhaps worth a thread of it's own?
Re: *** Official Quake 4 Feedback Thread ***
to reply from a post in the "its out in australia" was 18th the release date for australia, yep it was, but usually we see america get it first, ah well, for once we got something first i spose, i should of gone n picked up a copy today, but there working on our ST, completely blocked it off, driveway, ST, everything, cant get out... LOL
Re: *** Official Quake 4 Feedback Thread ***
A couple more........P4 3.2 - 6800GT - 4xAA - 1280x1024 - High setting
Definitely runs smoother than F.E.A.R.
Re: *** Official Quake 4 Feedback Thread ***
Re: *** Official Quake 4 Feedback Thread ***
Re: *** Official Quake 4 Feedback Thread ***
Played multiplayer for a short while and it's almost exactly the same as Q3, fast and furious. (although not quite as frantic as the best multi of all time, UT)
Re: *** Official Quake 4 Feedback Thread ***
Ok, i feel the vains in my forehead throbbing blood through it as i read quake 4 mp will have only 9 maps?? 9 maps... niiiiiine maps... God, im gonna hate the single player campain because of this. Lol, just kidding, but 9 maps arnt much at all and will get boring very fast... usually 2 or 3 maps will be crapp.. so that will leave 6 kewl maps... yay... ID should have made quake 4..
Since the quake community always has have a hard time setting up custom maps servers...(Doom 3 has a few with like 3 custums maps that arnt impressive.. same goes for quake 3 dm, not counting full mod servers that are always empty..) so i can see the Quake 4 mp communtity will be very short lived.
Dont get me wrong i loved quake 3, but this game seems to be a downgrade except for the graphics. Ill still be picking it up nontheless.. hehe.

BH-BL had no trouble with Franklin Academy in its regional victory last Saturday. After spotting the Huskies a touchdown, the Spartans scored on their next four possessions to take control.
"We've been playing at a high level for the last six or seven games," said Shell. "There are still a few things we have to work on, but they're little things."
Tailback Thomas Ruppel led the charge for BH-BL. Ruppel scored on runs of 59, 70 and 66 yards in the first half and finished with 221 yards. Daniel Porter contributed 169 rushing yards and three touchdowns including a 53-yard scoring scamper that got the Spartans going in the first quarter.
"We had quite a few big plays," said Shell.
Shell said his team will need to keep making big plays if it wants to get past Cornwall Friday and advance to its third state championship game appearance in the last four years.
"If we don't play a good game, it's a situation where we could be in big trouble," said Shell.
Shen is aiming for its first Class AA championship game appearance since 2003.

So I cut the pattern and I sew its seams
from Lupe Fiasco (Ft. Jay Z) – Pressure Lyrics on Genius
Continuing his metaphor of the sewing machine and what he does with his music:
"[Cutting] the pattern" refers to the manufacturing of clothes ("sewing of jeans") again, Lupe is using this to describe how he takes his lines and uses them to create his own art.
Also, the word "cut" is used as a synonym of "eliminate", as well. In other words, he is "getting rid of the pattern" and doing something different in hip-hop.
"Sewing the seams" is something else seen in clothes manufacturing. However, the word "seam" is defined as: a line of junction formed by sewing together two pieces of material along their margins. In hip-hop, Lupe takes the lines that he uses and connects them with each other… like the ends of cloth.
Also… note the homonym, "sew its seams", with "so it seems" from the opening line.

Sewage flakes, a highly combustible new renewable form of fuel that burns like woodchips, are being used for the first time to generate electricity for Britain's largest water and sewerage company.
Thames Water has begun producing the flakes by drying sludge (sewage solids) in a purpose-built machine at sewage works in Slough, Berkshire. (Also well known as the setting for the original BBC series "The Office.") The flakes are then taken by lorry to Crossness sewage works in Bexley, south-east London, where they are burnt off to generate electricity.
16 Percent Of This Year's Energy From Sewage
Thames Water estimates that 16 percent of its electricity needs will be covered in the current fiscal year by so-called poo power, which is enough to run about 40,000 average family homes.
Until now, the sludge dryer had been used to reduce waste simply to get rid of it more conveniently. The dryer promises to reduce the firm's carbon emissions by more than 500 ton a year, as well as bringing up to £300,000 a year of operational cost benefits.
First Time In Britain
From The Guardian:
Rupert Kruger, Thames Water's head of innovation, said: "This is the first time in Britain that a waste dryer has been used to create ready-to-burn fuel from sewage sludge, rather than simply being used as a waste-reducer. This innovative approach demonstrates our clear intent to help move Britain towards becoming a low-carbon economy by unlocking every ounce of renewable energy potential from waste."
A further 20 sewage works, including Slough, generate electricity by burning biomethane gas from sewage, a process know as combined heat and power.
Perhaps the next hit show from Britain will feature the workers at a sludge dryer in Slough?

Excellent ! This is a good way to solve two problems.
Excellent -- as long as the air quality stays good, and the whole thing stays sanitary.
Something else - I know here in Prince Edward Island ,we also have energy from waste; but I think it's waste materials which are able to be burned for heat . A number of our government buildings ,our hospital and some Churches are ,at least partially, heated in this manner .
Wow this is a revolutionary step towards new sources of energy. this would reduce sewage going into rivers lakes streams and oceans and be used to produce energy. This could be a cost effective source instead of gas and oil.
This is the best use of this product imaginable. Best of all, as fuels go, there is never a shortage.
Sounds interesting, but isn't poo still carbon-based? Which means that burning it will produce gas-house emissions...
I'm just worried that, if people turned to this unending source of energy, the REALLY clean renewable energy sources (wind, sun) will never get the attention they deserve.
Goodie-Could also be good nightsoil of course
They would never run low on fuel.
