Cool dry weather allowing static electricity to build up
The cool dry weather also is shocking, as many people are finding out.
During especially dry weather, static electricity builds up as feet rub against the ground or carpet and that creates a small electrical discharge — a shock — when a finger is touched to metal, such as a car door or a metal doorknob.
"You just need to know to be careful," said National Weather Service Meteorologist Randy Lascody. He uses his foot to push open the car door after static electricity builds up from his feet shuffling on the carpet while driving a manual transmission car.
The problem will continue until moisture builds up in the atmosphere again, possibly during the weekend, he said.
Until then, here are some antistatic tips from online sites:
Wear shoes with natural leather soles that allow the passage of electricity.
Keep hands moistened.
Use hair brushes with natural bristles.

Dallas-- When Pure Evil Music and Sound Design launched less than four years ago, it quickly attracted clients exclusively from local agencies, and then soon began expanding its reach to Austin, San Antonio and Houston. Now the music house's reputation is drawing work from across the country including New York, New Orleans, Kansas City, Chicago and Orlando. Before Hasbro's Furby became the must-have Christmas toy of 2012, Hasbro's agency, UPROAR/NY, came to Pure Evil to create original music for the lovable little learning robot. "UPROAR! was looking for a fun dance/pop sound that would stick in your head a la LMFAO," said Pure Evil Senior Composer Gary Parks. "These TV and Web spots had to reintroduce Furby to the world so the music had to be memorable, contemporary and a little quirky—like Furby," noted UPROAR! Chief Creative Officer Erik Nelson. "We loved Pure Evil's final track." Louisiana's largest agency, Peter Mayer, selected Pure Evil to compose original music for their latest national TV campaign for CentryLink Prism™ TV. "This is our second project with Peter Mayer and they are just great to work with," said Parks. "Their creatives have a great feel for what they want the music to accomplish and they understand the music composition process." According to Peter Mayer Group Creative Director Joel Mooy, "Gary Parks and Aaron Rose (Composer/Engineer) gave us several solid demos right off the bat, and then our client gave us some new direction. The Pure Evil team quickly composed a new piece that thrilled our client and still delivered all the energy and feeling our creative team had hoped for." Back in Dallas, JRS/Dallas, selected Pure Evil to create original music for their latest TV and radio campaign for York Heating & Air. Pure Evil recorded voice-over by Gary Sinise via ISDN from Los Angeles and completed the score and mix. "York is running these spots in the U.S. and Canada for two years, so the music had to be great," said Robert Joiner, Principal/CD at JRS. "We've worked with Pure Evil before, so we knew we could trust them fully." The campaign won the 2012 Silver Telly. Pure Evil Music and Sound Design is represented by Jack Reed Reps, email@example.com. The Executive Producer is Graham Hagood and Amy Aitken is Senior Producer.

Posts I've Made
In Topic: Espn Nation Predicts 3-13 Season
Posted 3 May 2015I believe the last time they claimed we'd go 3-13 we went to the AFC title game. (With the exception of last year obviously)
Looking at our schedule and the moves made so far, I see no reason why we couldn't go 11-5 or 12-4. It all depends on the O-line and QB play.
In Topic: Jets Select Leonard Williams With 6Th Pick
Posted 30 Apr 2015While this doesn't look good for Mo Wilk, it doesn't necessarily make it a bad pick. I would've preferred we got White, but Williams was the BPA. With teams inquiring about Wilk, I would see if San Diego is interested in a Rivers for Wilk type of deal. Wilk would certainly demand a top 10 pick and then some. I think we still need to keep him though. There has to be something that Mac and Bowles are concerned about with Wilk for them to take L.W. and I don't think it's just about money considering how we just spent in FA.
In Topic: Bleacher Report Smith Is Gone A Matter Of Time.
Posted 22 Apr 2015I like the idea of moving back and gaining the extra pick because Winston and Mariota are both gone 1 & 2 with Bucs and Chargers (Chargers send Rivers to Tennesee)
In Topic: 2015 Regular Season Schedule
Posted 22 Apr 201511-5 or 12-4 should be realistic
In Topic: Mo Wilkerson....
Posted 19 Apr 2015Mo will be extended before the season even starts. He'll be at camp when he's supposed to considering he's making his biggest payday this upcoming season. It's in our best interest to get the deal done unless the FO feels that they can get Winston which I highly doubt. Give him a 4 yr extension, convert some of his just under 7 million this season into a signing bonus so it doesn't count against the cap and give him a 4 yr 34-37 million deal with escalators based on performance to be a safeguard against him laying back after getting paid. Let the escalators boost the contract numbers up to the 40-range.
I'd be shocked/disappointed if Mo is included in any trade deal to move up in the draft unless we're moving to the #1 overall.

Xavier Kaim just loves to get into a police uniform for his 18 year old twink lover Hunter Daniels. In fact, when he doesn't get in the uniform is hard on is just not the same - so he finds himself using it more and more. That guy has a total uniform porn fetish, and I don't blame him. He looks hot as hell in that uniform, and Hunter certainly appreciates getting fucked by a guy that can pull off that look so well. They both end up completely spent and satisfied by the time they finally get done thrusting.

SAN ANTONIO, TX -- (Marketwire) -- 01/31/13 -- Harte-Hanks, Inc. (NYSE: HHS) today reported fourth quarter 2012 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.23 on revenues of $204.8 million. Excluding $1.3 million of facility closure costs, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.24. These results compare to diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.24 on $215.1 million in revenues for the fourth quarter of 2011.
The following table presents financial highlights of the company's operations for the fourth quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively. Full financial results are attached.
RESULTS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS (unaudited) --------------------------------------------- (In thousands, except per share amounts) Three Months Ended December 31, --------------------------------------------- 2012 2011 % Change --------------------------------------------- Operating revenues $ 204,835 $ 215,113 -4.8% Operating income 22,142 24,622 -10.1% Income from continuing operations 14,343 15,310 -6.3% Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations 0.23 0.24 -4.2% Diluted shares (weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding) 62,798 63,200 0.6% ---------------------------------------------
For the three months ended December 31, 2012, the company generated free cash flow (defined below) of $13.3 million, a decrease from $16.2 million in the prior year's fourth quarter. Capital expenditures for the quarter were $5.5 million compared to $4.6 million in the prior year's fourth quarter.
For the year, the company's revenues decreased to $767.7 million compared to $811.6 million last year. The annual financial results reflect the second quarter non-cash income statement charge for the impairment of Shoppers goodwill. Excluding this item, 2012 operating income from continuing operations was $67.0 million compared to $78.1 million and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the year were $0.62 compared to $0.72 for 2011.
RESULTS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS (unaudited) ---------------------------------------------- (In thousands, except per share amounts) Year Ended December 31, ---------------------------------------------- 2012 2011 % Change ---------------------------------------------- Operating revenues $ 767,709 $ 811,636 -5.4% Operating income (loss) (89,940) 78,098 -215.2% Income (loss) from continuing operations (73,104) 45,877 -259.3% Diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations (1.16) 0.72 -261.1% Diluted shares (weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding) 62,887 63,552 -1.1% ----------------------------------------------
Commenting on the fourth quarter performance, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Larry Franklin said, "The alignment of our Direct Marketing business around Customer Engagement, Customer Solutions and Customer Delivery we began early in our third quarter restructuring is driving the focus of our people internally, as well as with our customers. While this is an evolving process, we are excited about the growth opportunities. Our fourth quarter Direct Marketing performance was generally in line with our expectations given the loss of the pharmaceutical account discussed in the third quarter and the continued softness in the high tech vertical, which chiefly affects Trillium and our international business. Shoppers had an excellent quarter, with revenue growth from continuing operations for the first time since the fourth quarter of 2006. Operating income also showed growth of $1.6 million, excluding the $1.3 million charge for a production facility closure."
Discussing the performance of the business segments, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Doug Shepard said, "Direct Marketing revenues decreased $10.7 million, or 6.3%, in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to the fourth quarter of 2011. Direct Marketing results continue to reflect the impact of JC Penney changing its marketing strategy from direct mail to broadcast, with the reduction in mail services contributing about 20% of the total decline. Our financial vertical increased 7% compared to the prior year quarter and our retail vertical increased 1%. All other verticals decreased, with our select vertical decreasing 8%, high-tech 10% and our pharmaceutical/healthcare vertical 29%, each as compared to the fourth quarter of 2011. Our pharmaceutical/healthcare vertical was impacted by volume reductions from a long- standing client and the loss of a client discussed in our third quarter results. Operating income margins were 15.5% versus 15.8% in the fourth quarter of 2012.
"Shoppers revenue from continuing operations increased 0.8% in the fourth quarter compared to the 2011 fourth quarter. Operating income was $1.1 million (which includes the previously mentioned $1.3 million facility closure charge) compared to 2011 fourth quarter operating income of $0.7 million. Revenues increased for our distribution products and decreased for our print products. Shoppers revenues increased for the restaurant, consumer spending and automotive sectors. The communications, services and real estate sectors decreased."
Concluding, Franklin said, "Our plans for 2013 reflect the continued aggressive transformation for our Direct Marketing business. The overarching goal is to drive profitable revenue growth in a number of different ways. Some of these new ways include:
- a new approach to the pharmaceutical market with our new agency, TRUE Health + Wellness, launched in October,
- deployment of a new integrated marketing, sales, product design and delivery process more tightly aligned with our and our customers' businesses,
- continued development of the Trillium Software® solutions for the insurance and financial markets, and
- implementation of the new digital print capabilities.
Obviously there is much work to be done as changes of this magnitude take time. We expect to begin to see improved results in the second half of 2013 and accelerating into 2014. Therefore, our expectations are for 2013 to show slightly increased revenue and operating income with improvement coming in the second half of the year. We are very excited about the new direct marketing leadership team and the way our people are responding to the new opportunities for them and the company from these changes.
"While we are excited about Shoppers fourth quarter revenue and operating income growth, we continue to face challenges with the California economy, which along with increased postage expense, will continue to affect our financial performance. We expect Shoppers revenue and operating income in 2013 compared to 2012 to be down slightly, which is a significant improvement in trend compared to our experience during the past few years. Our people continue to look for ways to make our products and services more effective for our advertisers and to deliver those services more efficiently. I am very proud of the people in both businesses who are managing a great deal of change and doing it extremely well. Our company has a bright future."

Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
In this press release and our related earnings conference call, the company intends to provide investors with a better understanding of operating results and underlying trends to assess the company's performance and liquidity. Harte-Hanks evaluates its operating performance based on several measures, including the non-GAAP financial measures of (1) free cash flow, defined as net income, plus depreciation and amortization, plus stock-based compensation (tax-effected), plus goodwill and other intangibles impairment (tax-effected) less capital expenditures, all of the aforementioned are from continuing operations and (2) EBITDA, defined as net income before interest, taxes, goodwill and other intangibles impairment, depreciation, and amortization. Harte-Hanks believes that free cash flow and EBITDA are useful supplemental financial measures for investors because they facilitate investors' ability to evaluate the operational strength of the company's business. Free cash flow and EBITDA, however, are not calculated in accordance with GAAP and they should not be considered substitutes for net income as an indicator of operating performance. A quantitative reconciliation of free cash flow and EBITDA to net income is found in the tables attached to this release.

The basic integration architecture, as defined by ESBs, hasn't changed for more than a decade. Most cloud integration providers still rely on an ESB architecture and their proprietary connectors. As a result, enterprise integration projects suffer from constraints of availability and reliability of these connectors that are not re-usable across other integration vendors. However, the rapid adoption of APIs and almost ubiquitous availability of APIs amongst most SaaS and Cloud applications are rapidly redefining traditional integration approaches and their reliance on proprietary connectors. ...

It's always the oddball that has all the fun
Its always kind of awkward to do these things, but I'll do my best. My name is Amber, I grew up in the bay area and moved up here to go to school at Sonoma State. I didn't consider myself an artist at the time so instead of majoring in the fine arts I decided to do the next best thing: Art History, and with no regrets; i fell madly in love with it. However after taking a few studio courses, I do wish I would have double majored with both Art History and Studio, it would have greatly expanded my career options. To be more personable; I am a very kind and honest person with a great sence of humour and ambitions. I always put others before myself and I try to find the positive side to everything. I am looking for someone with good morals, someone who loves their family, passionate about life, loves sarcasm, and most importantly; not afraid to act like a total idiot for a good laugh. Submitted from mobile
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Fishing/Hunting , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing cards , Playing sports , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Baseball, Billiards / Pool, Swimming, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I have Dogs
I have a tiny Jack Russell Terrier named Jackie; she's 13 and loves to get in my trash while I'm at work. She's getting pretty old, every once in a while I think about trading her in for a new model, but I really should just wait until she kicks it.

My grandparents house near Palm Springs, and their moblie home in Bull Head City, Arizona. Also the Russian River... almost anywhere outside during the summer and next to a body of water.

I love all music, mostly just listen to the radio. My favorite tv shows include Walking Dead, Hell on Wheels, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Big Bang Theory, and recently How I Met Your Mother. And I'll try any food.
In my free time I enjoy having a drink with friends, watching the baseball game, painting, listening to oldies, doing puzzles, playing with my dog Jackie, walking around downtown, and just relaxing on the couch with a movie and a cool beer
Right now I am reading The Map of Time by Felix J. Palma. It's about time travel and it has a mixture of classic literature.

DC mayor suggests sequester may have played a role in latest gun violence
By Brent Budowsky
Don't miss the story in The Hill in which Washington Mayor Vincent Gray suggests that cuts in the defense budget from the sequester may have contributed to the latest mass murder that shook the nation Monday.
It is too early to conclude, and I am not suggesting here, that Defense Department security spending was cut in a way that helped the killer gain access to the Navy Yard. Though I am charging this: The sequester has done significant harm to the American economy and should be repealed.

The Penance List movie - Directors Vision
Thursday, November 04, 2010 10:06:00 AM
by Siobhan C Cunningham
Directors Vision for The Penance List Movie
'The Penance List will be made as a very stylish contemporary thriller. It is also a human drama – emotionally charged, with a strong comedy element. My job as director is to weave all these strands together into an original filmic tapestry.
I will deal sensitively with controversial aspects of the book: we really do try and get into the mind of the killer and understand his heart-wrenchingly poignant transition from innocent child to serial rapist.
The sex scenes will be hot and erotic but filmed in a classy and sensual style. I have an extensive musical background and music will be an integral part of the film. We plan to use new and vibrant cutting edge music, which will also enhance the narrative and take the viewer on a deep emotional journey.
The key locations of Chelsea, Home Counties public school and Ravello on the Amalfi coast are a marvellous backdrop for the lead characters – production design and wardrobe will be classy and stylish to reflect this. Themes of sex and murder will be handled in the tradition of 'auteur' cinema which harks back to some of the great French New Wave directors like Claude Chabrol. However in sharp contrast to this movement there will be no hand-held guerrilla techniques and no compromising on the film crew in this picture.
We plan to have a DOP of the finest calibre to capture visually all the moods of the film – and other experienced and noteworthy departmental heads – in sound, production design and music.'

Gutter-Dwelling Left: Hey, Let's Tell Stories About Sarah Palin's Panties
Originally posted at David Horowitz's NewsReal
If you rely on the Reich-wing, Tea-tard propaganda machine for your information, you probably missed the news about the sexually suggestive gift Sarah Palin received from Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio last week: pink panties!
But no worries, the unimpeachable left-wing blogosphere will bring you up to speed on all the relevant facts. Er, "facts."
Under the headline "Sarah Palin Gets Pink Panties From Creepy Arizona Sheriff," The Frisky's Jessica Wakeman shared the details of Sheriff Arpaio's lecherous overture:
Great moments in "ewwww": at a Tea Party rally in Phoenix, Arizona, on Friday, infamous anti-immigration Maricopa County sheriff Joe Arpaio handed Sarah Palin a pair of pink panties. Yes, panties!
Other left-wing bloggers piled on, delivering the incisive commentary we've come to expect:
Reporting on "the panty package," a TPM blogger joked, "No word on how Todd Palin reacted to the news."
"You know your attraction to women's underwear is a little out of control when you do things like this," admitted explained apparent panty fetish expert Charles Johnson.
Ed Brayton, a self-identified "journalist" at ScienceBlogs wrote, "Strange women flying about from Alaska receiving pink panties is no basis for a system of government."
"This is SO messed up…please tell me this is a joke," said Pam Spaulding.
Name It Change It, a project of the Women's Media Center that tracks sexist incidents in the media, called Arpaio "really damn sexist," adding that the Sheriff's "use of a national female politician to delploy [sic] sexism as a publicity stunt is deplorable."
John Cole at Balloon Juice described the sheriff's gift as "just creepy and weird" (right after posting the creepy and weird panty pic above).
And the ever classy Gawker offered this Photoshop of the governor's meeting with Sheriff Arpaio:
So why haven't more of us heard about the sheriff's inappropriate, sexually charged gesture? Hmm … maybe because it never happened.
After meeting Governor Palin, Sheriff Arpaio tweeted:
Just got done welcoming Sarah Palin to our County. Had a nice chat and gave her a pair of pink underwear.
Add "pink underwear" to the moonbat mixer, blend until frothy, and BAM!: the sheriff has a creepy panty fetish.
Hey, lefties: learn to Read the Freakin' Google (and not just when it suits your political goals). The oh-so risqué pink undergarments Arpaio hands out as souvenirs are the same ones he's famous for selling via his charity Web site, PinkUnderwear.com, and they look an awful lot like novelty boxers:
His site explains:
When Sheriff Joe learned that Maricopa County Inmates were stealing their jailhouse whites, he had all the boxers dyed pink. Inventory control improved, so the undershirts followed — then the sheets, socks, towels, and everything down to the handcuffs.
The boxer shorts are now sold online and at charity events to raise funds for youth mentoring programs in Maricopa County.
But of course, at the mere mention of unmentionables by a conservative politician, left-wing bloggers began to work their knickers into knots, praying to the Flying Spaghetti Monster that Arpaio really did sexually harass Palin with a gift of pink lingerie. Hopes and prayers morphed into truth and facts, as often happens with this crowd, and the pink panty meme was born.
Writing at the fetid intellectual wasteland called Pandagon, Jesse Taylor delighted in using the sheriff's tweet to analyze the psychosexual motives of the entire Tea Party Movement:
Not that I'm saying that the Tea Party may contain an incredibly disturbing psychosexual undercurrent focused on fetishizing powerful women that are still ideologically beholden to them, but f–k it, I am.
This is the sexually demeaning brand of "feminism" found at Pandagon and other left-wing feminist blogs. Souvenir boxers are an opportunity to sexualize and degrade politicians. Ideological opponents are smeared as sexual oppressors working to keep womenfolk enslaved and beholden. And the pleasure of sadism is the driving force behind conservatism.
But it's the Tea Party Movement that contains a "disturbing psychosexual undercurrent"?
Oh, if only Tea Party women could be as enlightened as Jesse Taylor and his fellow bloggers on the Left. When will those dumb Tea Party broads get it through their thick, sexually fetishized skulls that Jesse knows what's best for them. And he only hits because he loves.

This is close to Duke U and is a great place for a casual bite. Lots of choices. We sat outside on a nice evening. Simple fare with a good selection.
Wandered over here for lunch on a recent trip to Duke and was quite happy with the result. A pretty extensive menu of sandwiches, panini, wraps, salads, etc. greet you. My wrap was great, as were the home-made chips on the side. Would definitely come back again!
Nosh keeps things simple. A good limited menu with daily specials and a great staff.
Almost always busy with Duke staff and students it remains a quality place.
I recently ate here and was appalled to see I was actually charged for tap water! I didn't realize it until I sat down and started looking at my receipt, but sure enough, there was a charge for me to drink water out of the soda fountain machine. I even double checked and they have nothing disclosing this charge. It...
i recently dined at both branches of nosh in durham. the menu items are not the same. the corned beef and swiss sandwich served at the duke hospital campus is excellent and the ice cream sandwiches are heavenly. the erwin rd branch did not have the corned beef sandwich on the menu so I ordered the "deluca" which is described...
So we're not always in Durham so when we go we like to try something different each time. Our decision was based on the reviews so I hope this helps you to not make the same mistake we did. Some of the comments said this place was for hipsters and that would be correct.
Our waitress was very blah and...
We were actually heading to another restaurant in the complex when we decided to check out Nosh's menu first. Glad we did!
They have lots of interesting burgers and sandwiches as well as a handful of "proper" dinners. You order at the counter and they bring you the food. They use pictures of rescue dogs as the identifier for the...
Service was fast & friendly and my burger was an extremely generous portion. Order the sweet potato fries, they're cut like home fries & very tasty!!
This joint is very impressive. It has great food, great flair, and the menu offers everything you could want for main course, dessert, and drinks. Its only a few short miles off 85 and I'm so glad we stopped in. I recommend the SRP pizza. It's one of the best I've had; beef, blue cheese, cream cheese, bacon, and their...
Nosh is a classic favorite for both college kids and I guess whoever if you're Durham. They have a great and huge selection. They have games while you wait which is so much fun. My favorite are their wraps made fresh so yummy. Plus they are really good with my palette. They also have great pizza and bakery. So good...

Has it been found that there is any coleration between chess mentor ratings and standard play chess ratings?
I wondered about - from what I see (and have experienced) i would expect there is a correlation in that higher in one will mean higher in the other, but I think chess mentor ratings dont = real game ratings.
Ratings for live chess, online chess, over the board chess, and mentor chess will all be different, but i reckon stronger players will generally be higher on all of them.
Great answer,thanks.

34 year old man | Orange, CA, USA | Seeking women 21-32 within 75 miles
... A good man will let the right woman think she changed him. When in fact he changed because she is the right woman. -A.G.-
I've been relocated for work and am using match to hopefully meet someone. I'm a former Marine with an eye on the future but live for the moment. I'm an active person who likes to hit the beach or lake in the summer and the slopes in the winter. I like to be outside most of the time but I do like to lay around with a girl and relax. I ride motorcycles (both street and dirt), own a horse (D'Ana), am scuba certified, and as soon as I'm better situated with my move i plan on taking flight lessons. I tend to be a little spontaneous and am usually saying yes to any random adventure you might want to do. I was born in Anaheim, Ca. Raised in Reno, Nv. and am now in Orange County. I love my mother, father, and family and am close with my friends. There isn't anything I wouldn't do to protect the ones I care about. I like to think I'm kind of funny but that depends on the person and how boring you are. I like to stay in and cook but I don't mind going to restaurant. It's kind of nice not having to clean up. I enjoy trying new things, which has lead me to experience many exciting events. If there's something you'd like to try, let's do it. A great girl would be someone that is willing to travel and try new things with me. She wouldn't mind getting a little dirty along the way playing outside, and is able to doll up when the event calls for it. I like it when a girl puts her arms around me for no reason and gives me a hug. I'm not looking for a Stepford Wife but I also don't want someone that's going to try and be the man in the relationship. It just won't work with me. I'd like to sit here and explain more about my personality and what I'm looking for but that's a conversation I'd rather do in person.

Middle of the Road
One of my favorite places that i've visited was Japan and Germany and do plan on going back. There are other places in the world that i'd like to visit and do plan on visiting them in the future.
University of Nevada, Reno, Reno, NV
I'm a very active person so depending on the season I do alot of activities to include: wakeboard, scubadiving, dirtbiking, hiking, camping, snowboarding, skiing, and riding my streetbike. I do like nights out on the town and traveling.

Egypt, which is one of the largest recipients of U.S. foreign aid, is thus owed compensation.
Her attendance will bring in more parishioners and thus more money to fund church programs.
Syria would be compensated with territory elsewhere and thus get 100 percent of its lands back.
Old English þus "in this way," related to þæt "that" and this, but the exact connection and Proto-Germanic history are obscure. Cognate with Old Saxon and Old Frisian thus, Middle Dutch and Dutch dus. Colloquial adverb thusly first recorded 1865.
