Here is the beautiful thing about doing voice over with Voices.com. I was on vacation in Washington DC, but I always take my mic and laptop with me.
On the first day of my trip, I got an e-mail that I had been chosen as the narrator of a video for an international health organization.
The client sent me the 4 minute script, which I recorded in my hotel closet. I upload the file to Voices.com and client releases the money from escrow to me.
BAM! Vacation is paid for and I have a new client that will use me in the future.
So with a Voices.com membership and the right equipment you can do voice over from just about anywhere!

Recipe by Colette
"This is our family's number-one favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal. The noodles take the place of the gravy, they get dumped over EVERYTHING! They are a great thick and tasty noodle."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 teaspoon
1 teaspoon
ground black pepper
2 cups
all-purpose flour
4 cups
beef broth
I made these for Thanksgiving this year, my dad's wife asked me to bring noodles. Historically, I have not had great luck with noodles - ask me to bring Pork Tenderloin en Croute, no problem, but noodles defied me. These turned out great, and I think I figured out what I had done wrong in the past - not enough flour. They were terribly sticky initially, and I thought they were done for, I added a tad more flour a Tablespoon at at time and they turned out great! I rolled them out on the counter-top with plenty of flour top and bottom, and covered them with a tea towel and let them sit for a hour before cutting with a pizza cutter. I tossed the cut noodles in the leftover flour and popped them into a baggie and frozen them for the next day. I left them frozen until I popped them into the boiling water. We served them naked so folks could put gravy or butter on them. Very good, I will make them again. Oh, one comment, I used freshly ground black pepper - I LOVE pepper, and they were almost too peppery - almost.
I thought we were the only ones who did this! I'm definitely giving this a try this Thanksgiving!

Sensitivity and reproducibility of each real-time PCR method using a pBLV-IF. The copy number of pBLV-IF was determined by calculation and TaKaRa Cycleave PCR. One hundred copy of pBLV-IF was diluted 2-fold to construct the standard curve. Threshold values (Ct) were plotted against corresponding pBLV-IF copy numbers and the correlation coefficient (R2) was determined. The experiments were run in duplicate and independently repeated three times with the same dilutions. pBLV-IF standard curves were generated by using the results of CoCoMo-qPCR (A), the TaqMan MGB assay developed by Lew et al.

Picture: Betty White attends the Public Library Association 2012 closing general session at the Pennsylvania Convention Center Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - 17.03.12
Betty White, the veteran comedic actress, has joined Twitter in order to promote her new show 'Betty White: Off Her Rocker', and to seduce a famous user of the micro-blogging website. White posted her first tweet on Tuesday (April 10, 2012) and racked up over 100,000 followers in no time.
Her third tweet was aimed at American Idol host Ryan Seacrest, saying, "Hey RyanSeacrest - my new show airs tomorrow and I hear we're in the same time slot. I've always dreamed of sharing a night with you". Betty is currently following around 40 other accounts, most notably President Barack Obama, singers Rihanna and Lady GaGa, and actress Whoopi Goldberg. Her new show 'Off Her Rocker' sees White send an army of senior citizens onto the streets of the U.S. to pull pranks on the younger generation, with hilarious consequences. In the same vein as Ashton Kutcher's Punk'd, the show will see Betty and company putting together cleverly-crafted comedy stunts and capturing the ensuing carnage on hidden cameras. The show airs on Wednesday (April 11, 2012) on the NBC Network.

"Do you ever watch porn? If you did/do, what kind of things did you like? What kinds of things turn you on? Are there any fantasies you enjoy thinking about?"
Don't overthink things. The clearest and most direct question is going to get you the best information. Yeah, it can feel kind of embarassing to talk about, but sometimes you have to go outside your comfort level. It could always help for you to maybe share a fantasy with him, and then ask him to share one in return.

I legit thought Capt Muppet was YFC's vag. - 3M
My DH and I did this for the first time just a couple months ago...after nine years of marriage! It was the best ever.
It's best to be direct. If he is hesitant, like mine was, because he was afraid of saying the wrong thing or upsetting me, you could offer to answer first. Talking about it will happen over time too. I had to understand that he may really enjoy looking at naked women in porn (just like I do), but that its just naughty bits and not feel self-conscious about it - this was what I struggled with personally. I liked looking at it, but I had to get comfortable with him looking at it.
I am not shy and I am very open, so I was pretty direct with my hubby. For one I knew he watched porn b/c we have watched it together from the start of our relationship and so that wasn't a big thing. As for what his fantises are I used the whole pregnancy hormones to open that topic up. I told him that I was craving things that I never thought about usually and named a few and then said, that "now would be the time to ask for something that we haven't usually done or to let me know about anything he has been thinking about b/c I am totally open right now ;)
Heck, cheese it up. It'll lighten the mood and make seem less like bad cop/pissed wife and more like fun wife/naughty bedroom playmate.
This isn't exactly a set of topics for table conversation. You both need to be able to be in the mindset, something skimpy with the lights low and a dose of alcohol make it a lot easier to open up.
Well you can ask those questions above while smooching, or cuddling... we do this a lot to heat things up. I've said once ..

B&G – the world leader in marine instruments, autopilot systems and tactical software solutions – have announced its new range of Triton HV Displays. Dedicated for use on the mast, the new displays complement the Triton T41 combination Instrument and Pilot. Delivering True Wind Angle, Course Over Ground (COG) or Speed Over Ground (SOG), the Triton HV line offers cruising and club racing sailors the highest quality, easy-to-read displays for access to crucial information, in the right place, while underway.
Triton HV 20/20 Display
Available in 10/10, 2.6 x 4.5-inch (66 x 114 mm) and 20/20, 4.5 x 7-inch (114 x 178 mm) formats, Triton HV mast displays feature the same unique LCD-bonding technology as Triton Instruments to provide unrivaled contrast and viewing angle with zero risk of condensation. With LED backlighting for outstanding clarity and longevity, as well as low power consumption, users can select which data is displayed via a Triton Instrument. The 20/20 model offers a choice of optional backlighting colors. Easy to install, the Triton HV displays perfectly complement and network with an existing B&G electronics system.
'The Triton T41 has already gained a reputation for excellence with cruising and racing yachtsmen alike,' said Louis Chemi, chief operating officer, Navico Americas. 'Our new Triton HV Displays serve to strengthen access to data and offer greater flexibility and efficiency to the most discerning sailors.'
To support the new mast displays, B&G has also released a software update for its popular Triton Instrument Display. Available as a free download from www.bandg.com, Triton Instrument RTM 2 software not only adds Triton HV integration, it enables increased functionality. Available for the first time on a mid-range instrument, the upgrade features a Windplot – a wind trend histogram, engine data support, heel angle data support and an air temperature data display. Offering enhanced representation of analog screens with easier-to-read scales, the update also provides new rudder, heel and alarm functions. In addition the Triton RTM 2 software features user-defined, switchable graphics and an expanded language profile with Norwegian, Swedish and Croatian support.
The B&G Triton HV Displays are protected by a three-year limited parts and labor warranty and the B&G Advantage Service Program. Available in December 2012 from authorized B&G dealers and distributors throughout the United States and Canada, the mast displays have a suggested retail price starting at US $699.
For more information on the B&G Triton HV Displays, compatible technology, the Triton Instrument RTM 2 software update, or the entire line of B&G marine electronics, contact 800-628-4487 (toll-free) in the USA or 800-661-3983 (toll-free) in Canada, or visit www.bandg.com.

If not, there is a desktop client that works on all windows since xp. It makes a folder that you can save to and syncs both ways so docs on owncloud and ones saved to it from your pc can be accessed anywhere and will sync with the server as soon as you reconnect. The only problem is there is not selective sync so any file in your user will download to your computer. If that is a problem you can always use the web interface to manually upload and download whatever you want. Also it is probably obvious but you can get to your server from anywhere by port forwarding. I believe the port is 443 if you use ssl or 80 if not. feel free to email me if you have any questions.

College Football 2012 – Week Seven Recap
NFL Week 6 Fantasy Football Preview
We're approaching Week 6 of the 2012 fantasy football season, and unless your team is protected by some sort of magical force field, you're probably dealing with a few key injuries. No fantasy owner would think less of you for shedding some tears over the state of Cedric Benson's foot or Aaron Hernandez's ankle. Still, don't spend too much time in the fetal position—even the most competitive leagues are sure to have a few potential stars on the waiver wire.
College Football 2012 — Week Seven Preview
While there aren't as many marquee games as last week, we have several intriguing matchups to look forward to this weekend. Saturday features four games between ranked opponents, including one top 10 game in the SEC. Additionally, 14 of the 22 ranked teams in action this weekend are playing road or neutral-site games. So this could be another weekend to be on upset alert.
Here is what to watch for this week in the top 25.

But this week will make up for it in a big way with five games between ranked teams, including not one but two Top Ten matchups in the SEC.
Here are all the highlights from this week in the Top 25.

We've got best practices from LivingSocial and estate sale guru Everything But The House in our next Insight webinar. The rollout of HealthCare.gov has been tumultuous, with the site unable to handle a few hundred concurrent users trying to sign up for health insurance for much of its early existence. Now it falls to Accenture to fix the online health portal. It's official: Lead contractor CGI is out, outsourcing specialist Accenture is in. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), a U.S. government agency, will not renew CGI's contract when it expires Feb. 28, instead bringing in Accenture Federal Services to fix CGI's botched job. "Accenture will bring deep healthcare industry insight as well as proven experience building large-scale, public-facing websites to continue improving HealthCare.gov," David Moskovitz, chief executive of Accenture Federal Services, said in a news release Saturday. Dozens of firms have had a hand in building HealthCare.gov — and a lot of blame has been thrown around for its poor performance — but until now, CGI has been primarily responsible for assembling and fixing the website. Accenture is getting $45 million to handle the "initial phase of the project," which includes outlining a transition plan to determine what work the contractor will undertake to fix the health portal. That roadmap will define the value of the full 12-month contract, said Accenture. For comparison's sake, California's three-and-a-half-year contract with Accenture is costing the state $359 million, according to the Washington Post. Accenture is one of the world's largest consulting firms, and it's previously built sites for the Internal Revenue Service, U.S. Census Bureau, and the U.S. Department of Education. It also built California's new health-insurance exchange, which has worked relatively smoothly since its early October launch. Until now, Accenture hasn't had significant input on the HealthCare.gov portal. Early last month, the Obama administration declared that HealthCare.gov works "smoothly" for the vast majority of users, but the site continues to cause problems for some seeking health insurance. It can't automatically enroll Medicaid-eligible people in state programs, for example, or calculate how many consumers have paid their insurance premiums, which is critical to figuring out how many people are actually covered. The portal is improving, though: More than a million Americans have selected plans on the exchange, according to the Obama administration.

Originally written on Project Spurs | Last updated 2/7/13
After being cleared to return to the practice court, San Antonio Spurs 2012 NBA draftee, guard Marcus Denmon, is back on the hardwood and playing for French team Chalon-Elan. As you may recall, Denmon suffered a broken right foot in the opening game for Chalon-Elan, and underwent surgery to repair his broken right foot where a metal rod was placed in his foot to strengthen it and to avoid further injury. In Denmon's first game back from surgery, he scored 13 points, and grabbed 1 steal in 20 minutes of play against Dijon Basket. In two games for Elan, he is averaging 11 points, 1 steal, shooting 75% from the free-throw line, 33% from the three-point line, and 55.6% from the field in 21 minutes of play. Of course on game day, Denmon took to Twitter to express hiw feeling on returning to the court. Don't call it a come back — Marcus Denmon (@MizzouMonster12) January 17, 2013

Why Pete Rose Didn't Fare Better in His Bets
Posted by Colin Gustafson
Mon, 10 Mar 2008 at 10:17 AM
Insider knowledge doesn't always bring a higher payoff — especially when inside experts try to cheat in a market full of other, well-informed participants.
That's the conclusion of a paper written by a Rutgers University economist, Douglas Coate, and posted yesterday on the Marginal Utility blog
Examining the baseball bets of a disgraced former Cincinnati Reds manager, Pete Rose, Mr. Coate found that Mr. Rose lost $47,200 on bad wagers on the performance of dozens of Major League Baseball teams in April-May 1987. More than $4,000 of those losses were from bad bets on his own team.
So how could this major league insider with nearly three decades of experience in baseball lose so much money to gamblers who had never played the sport professionally, and had no access to any of the league's players or coaches?
Mr. Coate suggests that Mr. Rose, even as a baseball insider, did not possess as significant an informational advantage as he might have thought. In fact, the famed athlete probably failed as a gambler because he was participating in an "informational-efficient market," where other gamblers knew as much as he did about teams' strengths and weaknesses.
Mr. Rose's expertise was not an "advantage when betting on his own team, on other teams in his league that he studied and competed against, or on teams in the other leagues," the author writes.
That, or he was just unlucky: In some cases, Mr. Rose "was a better gambler when he didn't have access to information," the blogger behind Marginal Utility, Kenneth Houghton, writes.
Whatever the case, Mr. Rose's losses in the betting market provide a lesson for participants in the financial markets, Mr. Coates suggests. "The team sports betting markets provide another test of how well markets process information," the economist writes.
"Markets are efficient if the prices of the individual stock at any moment in time reflect all that is known by market participants."

"Chakravyuh" action director Abbas Ali Moghul says the action sequences in the film are very realistic and that each daredevilry is distinct.
"We have kept it very realistic, there was no use of wire-work. There are eight or nine major action sequences where bullets are being fired. But if bullets are being fired in all the sequences, then it becomes a challenge for the fight master to keep each sequence unique," Abbas said here in an interview.
Abbas adds that he could accomplish the distinctness with the help of the movie's director, Prakash Jha.
"If you move along with the director, then your action sequences will look different. Otherwise in so many films we see the same type of action in different scenes, the same firing or blast scenes. But after talking to Prakashji, we treated each sequence differently," Abbas said.
Abbas further says that all three male actors - Arjun Rampal, Manoj Bajpayee and Abhay Deol - were given equal amount of action to do.
"Everyone was taking an interest because it was like a competition between all three of them. All of them are good actors and all of them also wanted to do equal action because the story also demands it.
"Prakashji and I decided to divide action stunts equally among the three," said Abbas, who has worked on films like "Agneepath(2012)", "Dangerous Ishq" and "Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai".
"Chakravyuh", based on the Naxalite (Maoist) movement, hits theatres this Dusshera Oct 24.

Physician compensation is poised to change dramatically with the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Although the current approach to physician compensation bases payment on services provided, in the future, payment will be for outcomes and the value that the patient, health system, and society derive from them.
Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) are one centerpiece of the ACA and symbolize the integrated delivery, cost, and quality paradigm. An ACO is responsible for paying the physicians who render the services, working in collaboration with other professionals and organizations in the ACO. Further distribution of earned funds, including shared savings to physician participants, is structured by the ACO itself to further align respective participants' interests.
Given that compensation will focus increasingly on outcomes—whether based on production, quality, efficiency, outcomes, or a combination of all these components—it should also eventually reflect market-based data to give organizations an ability to establish fair market value (FMV) for it.
There is no "one-size-fits all" answer viewing the future through today's lens. A successful compensation model depends on a variety of issues. But to date, major innovative changes in physician compensation design have been held back due to regulatory and legal constraints on the market to implement significant compensation plan changes that align directly with, and clearly support, pay for outcomes goals.
On the regulatory side, there are numerous legal limitations on physician compensation. The regulatory scrutiny at the federal and state levels is fragmented and sometimes contradictory regarding guidance in terms of permissible (both legally and FMV compliant) physician compensation arrangements.
On the other hand, the compensation survey process offers a potentially more immediate and practical means to arrive at an FMV compensation approach, the effectiveness of which, however, depends on outcomes-based benchmark data that do not currently exist.
Those with valuation responsibility for compensation plan design must embrace the goal of developing new standards to establish FMV and commercial reasonableness for outcome-based physician compensation plans and help develop best metrics and methods of gathering this information during the next five years. Many hospitals will be increasingly reluctant to use physician compensation per wRVU benchmarks as the basis for measuring employed physician performance because the source of funding via ACOs and other arrangements will be based less and less on this very typical productivity-based metric.
By the same token, regulators must modify rules and regulations. The collaborative nature of the ACO model means that past definitions of anticompetitive conduct cannot be allowed to work at cross purposes to desired outcomes-based services.
Finally, hospitals should begin to design compensation plans that recognize and reward these desired behaviors. Collecting the requisite market data is essential to making such a change, and that collection must begin now.
Future CMS and commercial payer reimbursements for healthcare services will effectively require that the providers do more with less. To thrive in this new environment, healthcare providers must engage in activities that enhance higher accountability and a new service-oriented, results-based compensation culture within their organizations.

Duo Mat Powder Foundation provides everything a pressed-powder foundation should, and excels in each area. The talc- and silicone-based formula feels buttery smooth and blends on like a second skin. The slightly dry, non-chalky matte finish is ideal for normal to very oily skin, and this provides light to medium coverage that doesn't mask skin, but does make it look refined and polished. The selection of shades is first-rate; the only questionable colors are the slightly orange 209 Warm Beige and the slightly peach 214 Dark Beige. Shades 216 Caramel and 218 Chocolate are beautiful for darker skin tones or used as matte bronzing powders. Shade 200 Beige Opalescent has a soft shine that will magnify oily areas. This powder foundation does contain fragrance.
Talc, Dimethicone, Mica, Magnesium Stearate, Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer, Zinc Stearate, Cyclopentasiloxane, Lauroyl Lysine, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Aqua (Water), Dimethiconol, Chlorphenesin, Ethylparaben, Methylparaben, Lauryl Methacrylate/Glycol Dimethacrylate Crosspolymer, Tetrasodium EDTA, Bis-PEG/PPG-14/14 Dimethicone, Glycerin, Dicaprylyl Ether, Phenoxyethanol, Cassia Angustifolia Extract (Cassia Angustifolia Seed Polysaccharide), Parfum (Fragrance), Gellan Gum, Polyglyceryl-2 Dipolyhydroxystearate, Ethylparaben May Contain: Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides
Make Up For Ever At-A-Glance
Strengths: The newer foundations have many wonderful qualities; impressive options (and shade ranges) for powders, powder blush, and powder eyeshadow; some extraordinary lip glosses and lipstick/lip color options (and again, the shade ranges are remarkable); a few formidable mascaras; good shimmer options; huge selection of praiseworthy makeup brushes.
Weaknesses: Expensive; a few products suffer from needlessly irritating ingredients; average toner; the foundations and concealers that have been in this line longest are behind the times; mostly average eye and lip pencils; mostly lackluster specialty products.
This Paris-based makeup collection traces its roots to theatrical and fashion makeup, building on the concept that a professional makeup artist not only desires, but also needs, every conceivable color and texture to create the broadest range of looks. Since 1984, Make Up For Ever creators Dany Sanz and Jacques Waneph have been doing their best to meet these criteria. Through the years, this line has gone from offering a tremendous array of colors in their own European boutiques to a more streamlined, "everyday" collection of products in selected department stores and (primarily) Sephora, whose parent company, LVMH, has owned Make Up For Ever since 1999.
The color line presents an intriguing blend of classic, workable shades positioned next to some truly unique hues and finishes that only those involved with theater or the most flamboyant "anything goes" makeup artist (or diva) would covet. A major plus for this line is that the majority of colors are densely pigmented and work beautifully on medium to deep skin tones. The drawback is that fair and lighter skin tones may be left feeling that most of the color choices are too intense for them, especially if their goal is a soft, natural makeup application—though the choices in that regard are becoming more plentiful. For those who literally want it all when it comes to possible shades, this line more than delivers what it takes to please.
An interesting aspect of this line is that, category to category, there's often a similar pattern: one or two extraordinary to very good products, followed by mediocrity. It is the average products (and a correspondingly fewer number of poor ones) that tarnish this line and make its prices seem too inflated. However, if you pay attention (and purchase) the products Make Up For Ever does best, you will undoubtedly be pleased.

The Beautypedia Team reviews all products using the same research, criteria, and objectivity, whether the product being reviewed is from Paula's Choice or another brand.
Best foundation I have found for my oily skin.
This foundation has worked the best for me. I normally have oily, break-out prone, aging skin. It covers well, does not cause breakouts and does not rub off or come off on the telephone. It works really well as a matt foundation, saving me the need to use multiple products. I, too, hope it never gets discontinued.
I love this foundation I have been using it for about 2 years and now they are going to replace it with the pro finish multi use powder? If they do I will be upset because I don't want to switch because I have oily skin and Paula's review on it says it can cause shine. Why do good products always have to be discontinued? Is this true about this product?
Hi, and thanks for your comments! As far as we know, this foundation has not yet been discontinued. It's still available on Sephora's website at last check, though its availability in-store might be limited. We hope this helps you out!

Looking For My Last Love
It's not an easy thing to present oneself for approval, particularly in this medium. But that is the nature of the beast, so I will do my best to do so and remain as truthful as possible. Let me begin by saying that I am just like you, that is I am looking to connect with someone and using this site because in this modern age with our commitments to work and to others in our lives, we don't have many viable alternatives. I am financially secure (more than many in these hard economic times) and don't mind spending on the good things that life has to offer: good food, travel, even last minute travel. I am smart and confident, although not that smart or confident, bald but have a well enough shaped head to carry it off, have a strong body (work out regularly) and have an active sense of humor, if not somewhat on the wry side. I was born and raised an educated in New York so have that East Coast edge that admittedly some people don't like but what can I do about that? I am a former Marine Vietnam vet but that was several lifetimes ago, but I also have an artistic literary side which makes, I think, for a good balance. I am looking for a woman with whom I can feel that "instant click" that ineffable something that one just knows without having to explain it, someone who is not afraid of physical affection, not too picky about what she eats or drinks or likes animals more than she likes people, someone who is ready for a life together. Most likely, I will retire in about 3 years and am looking forward to a life well spent in travel and having fun together. If any of this sounds interesting to you, please feel free to contact me; It is as Simone Weil says : "The soul knows for certain only that it is hungry.." and so, as you, I continue to search.

I like cooking, eating, good books and even better conversation, lots of laughing, planning things, small parties and quiet nights. I like holding hands, kissing and all that goes with it. I like baseball, and long walks and working out .
For fun I like to cook;I'm not bad at it but learning all the time. I also love to travel. I used to work for a major airline and have traveled all over the world, at least to each continent except the poles. I also love ind. films and foreign films
I teach literature so every day is a literary adventure. I read the New York Times every day, and the last novel I read was "Why Orwell Matters" by Christopher Hittchens

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Give your gift today for a Soldiers Summer Package, and let our forces know that there are very special people who care, and appreciate their sacrifice and their duty.
This Summer we are planning to bless 500 of our country's best.
We need you to help us reach our goal of $22500.
Your gift of $45 will sponsor a package for one soldier.
$180 will sponsor 4 soldiers -
$450 will sponsor 10 soldiers -
$1800 will sponsor 40 soldiers.
Our lovingly-prepared package contains the following:
Although the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), as the name suggests, is primarily a defensive army, our soldiers place their lives at stake on a daily basis. Over time, almost every family has lost relatives in defense of the Promised Land.
Protection and preservation can come only from the Almighty but we can show our appreciation of the efforts of our soldiers and reservists.
Our young men and women endure tough programs during their military service and most times under extreme conditions in order to be prepared for any challenge against enemy attacks.
Let us show 'our children in uniform' - our soldiers they are appreciated! (The majority of IDF soldiers are young men and women just out of school.)
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) represent Israeli society more than any other organization.
It is a real melting pot, in which the serving soldiers, both men and women have a diverse
ethnic and religious background. Lieutenant Toby Cohen is the first Nigerian woman who
serves in the IDF's Homefront Command.
While Judaism is not an evangelical religion, God always looks at the heart. At the time of the Great Exodus from Egypt, led by Moses and Aaron, many Egyptians joined Am Israel and were welcomed as fellow travelers along the path to the Promised Land. Ruth the Moabitess spoke these immortal words to her Jewish mother-in-law, Naomi: "Your people will be my people and your God my God", and became an ancestor of Yeshua HaMashiach.
The Muslim holy month of fasting, Ramadan, commenced last Wednesday at the sighting of the moon, heralding a number of Israeli Defense Force concessions for Palestinians living in the West Bank.


text: The Collector Scum! wiki last edited by pikahyper on 06/19/14 03:01AM View full history Peter Bagge ended his third year as the cronicler of disaffected twenty-somethings with a raucous take on the collector mentality - and that of those who prey upon them! In a story entitled "Collector Scum," Buddy decides he's going to get rich quick by opening a business as a buyer and seller of worthless '60s and '70s memorabilia. But he's reckoned without the bizarre and savagely petty nature of collectors - and little does he realize that Lisa, whom he's enlisted to assist him, becomes decidedly more interested in the intrigues and warfare among the collectors than in actually selling any stuff. To no one's surprise, everything ends disastrously, of course!

Diane SchuurAs eclectic as she is brilliant, vocalist and pianist Diane Schuur has built a stellar career by embracing not only the jazz of her parents' generation, but also the pop music of her own youth during the late 1950s and '60s. In a recording career that spans nearly three decades—and includes two Grammy Awards and three Grammy nominations—Schuur's music has explored nearly every corner of the twentieth-century American musical landscape. Born in Tacoma, Washington, in 1953, Schuur was blind from birth. She discovered the world of jazz through her father, a piano player, and her mother, who kept a formidable collection of Duke Ellington and Dinah Washington records in the house. Gifted with the rare talent of perfect pitch, Schuur taught herself piano by ear and developed a rich, resonant vocal style early on.

One of the studies for the Nike head, Relief of Victory (1903-7), on display at the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site and Number 38 in the Duffy-Dryfhout reference, bears much in common with the final ten dollar gold portrait, the main exception being the laurel leaf wreath that encircles the female head. In Saint-Gaudens' transition of the design from Nike to Liberty, President Theodore Roosevelt insisted that the figure bear a feathered headdress such as an Indian chief might wear--an unlikely ornament for either Liberty or a female Native American. The politically savvy Saint-Gaudens nonetheless acquiesced to the president's wishes.
Only 500 pieces of this design were created and all were passed out to various dignitaries, mostly in Washington and Philadelphia. This design epitomizes the noted sculptor's artistic vision for the ten dollar gold denomination, before the tinkering began by the obstructionist mint engraver, Charles Barber.
The surfaces of this piece show the typical brightness seen on all Wire Rim tens. This brightness is created by the fine, swirling die polishing marks seen on each side. Sharply defined for the issue, the coin displays a slight overlay of reddish patina.
At MS65 the present coin is roughly midway in condition among the certified survivors at both services. NGC has certified 27 in this grade, with 26 finer (1/08).(Registry values: N7079) (NGC ID# 268B, PCGS# 8850)

Kudos for getting a girlfriend who makes sure you're healthy and well-rested, especially since most people get less sleep after getting a girlfriend/boyfriend.
I used to play mobile games on my smartphone, but then I took a graphing calculator to the face.
Youtuber no9sniper brought Skyrim to his TI-84 graphing calculator. It's obviously a bare-bones, mostly text version of the vast and sprawling world of the original, but it still features basic items, quests, and combat with a variety of mythical uglies. Perfect for when your math teacher starts to complain about you bringing your widescreen hi-def PC monitor to class.
When even people who profess their love via video game characters find the "arrow to the knee" line hard to swallow, you know that joke has probably run its course.
