Yeah, but your hand slipped on the toilet, right? If there was some tacky stuff on the toilet, you'd have been able to stable.<quoted text>
I didn't slip--my bad knee was already out of the tub aand buckled just enough that the top of the foot that was just exiting, tripped on the lip of the tub. This was my regular tub because I was in a hurry to get ready for therapy and didn't want to wait for 65 gallons of water to fill the walk-in.(It only takes 3 to 4 minutes, but Still!

Russia Seeks to Prod Syria's Assad After Blocking UN Vote
Feb. 7 (Bloomberg) -- Syrian President Bashar al-Assad asked Russia to broker talks with opposition groups in a bid to end 11 months of violence, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said after talks in Damascus today.
"It's clear that the efforts to end the violence must be accompanied with the initiation of a dialog among all political forces," Lavrov said, according to a pool report from Russian state news service Itar-Tass. "Today we received confirmation of the Syrian president's readiness to cooperate on this."
Lavrov and the head of Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service, Mikhail Fradkov, met Assad three days after Russia and China drew condemnation for vetoing a UN Security Council resolution that backed an Arab League plan for a transfer of power in Syria. Russia, accused by Syria's opposition umbrella group, the Syrian National Council, of giving Assad a "license to kill" through its UN vote, argues that political change can only be achieved through negotiations.
Russia is seeking to maintain influence in its Middle East ally as pressure builds on Assad after escalating unrest that the UN estimates has killed more than 5,400 people since March. Syrian forces killed 98 people in the central city of Homs yesterday, continuing an assault that started last weekend, Al Jazeera said, citing activists.
'Too Late'
"It's too late," Fyodor Lukyanov, an analyst at the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy in Moscow, said by phone today. "The international reaction is already clear: Western and Arab nations are delegitimizing Assad and the opposition recognized by them won't enter into any talks with the regime."
Assad said he is committed to ending the violence and reiterated a pledge to hold a referendum on a new constitution that would curb some of the ruling Baath party's power, according to Lavrov.
"Every leader in every country should acknowledge their share of responsibility," Lavrov told Assad at the start of their talks. "You acknowledge yours." Russia is interested in the "peace and cohesion" of Arab nations, he said.
Assad asked Russia "to bring influence to bear on opposition groups, which aren't engaging in dialog yet," Lavrov said. Russia supplies arms to Syria, where it has its only military base outside the former Soviet Union.
Tacit Welcome
"While the West will probably not endorse Russian mediation, a Russian attempt to ease or end the violence would be judged by the results," Cliff Kupchan, an analyst at New York-based research firm Eurasia Group, said by e-mail. "It would be tacitly welcome as one of several efforts to stop the bloodshed."
The Russian delegation was greeted by crowds of Syrians as it reached the center of Damascus, with some chanting "Russia" and waving their hands, Itar-Tass said. Thousands of people, including students, children and the elderly came out to thank Russia for its support along streets bedecked with Russian and Syrian flags, the Foreign Ministry in Moscow said on its Twitter Inc. account.
As Russia pursued its diplomatic efforts, Western and Arab nations ratcheted up pressure on Syria after their failed bid to win international endorsement for Assad's departure.
German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle called today on Russia to demand that Syria end its crackdown and said increased pressure on Assad will include a new round of sanctions.
Violence Must End
"We expect that Russia makes clear -- with no ifs, ands, or buts -- that this violence and repression must come to an end," Westerwelle said in a statement.
Gulf Arab countries said they are expelling Syrian ambassadors from their capitals in response to the "massacre" against the country's people by forces loyal to Assad. The six members of the Gulf Cooperation Council also withdrew their ambassadors from Damascus, the country's capital, the group said in an e-mailed statement today.
Russia blocked the UN resolution on Feb. 4 after unsuccessfully pressing for changes to the text that would have called on opposition armed groups in Syria to halt attacks and endorsed the Arab League plan without backing any specific timetable for Assad's departure. The U.S. said it was "disgusted" at the Russian and Chinese veto.
The Arab League in November imposed sanctions on Syria and sent monitors to the country in an effort to stop the violence. It later drafted a plan that called for the formation of a national unity government within two months to implement a peaceful handover of power and announced an end to the observer mission.
Regime Change
Russia argues that the UN-sanctioned bombing of Libya last year by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization was used to bring about regime change and that the U.S. and western European governments are trying to repeat that scenario in Syria.
Clandestine help for armed opponents of Assad is already taking place, according to Jonathan Eyal, director of international security studies at the Royal United Services Institute in London.
Without a UN mandate, Western powers will be reluctant to get involved militarily in Syria, and the Arab League won't have the stomach to fight with one of its members, said Eyal. Qatar last month proposed sending Arab troops to Syria to halt the violence.
Alternative Venues
Russia has invited Syria's government and the opposition to hold talks in Moscow and is ready to consider any alternative venues for negotiations, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said yesterday.
Assad inherited power in 2000 from his father, Hafez al-Assad, a Soviet ally who ruled for three decades and received weapons and financial support for the Arab standoff against Israel.
Russia has a naval base in the Syrian port of Tartous and billions of dollars of arms contracts with the Middle Eastern state. After the 2003 overthrow of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and Libya's Muammar Qaddafi last year, Syria is the last major customer for Russian weapons in the region.
"The West views Russian policy toward Syria with frustration and some anger," Kupchan said. Even so, "the West has neither good options nor much influence over the situation on the ground."

Filmmaker Mukesh Bhatt is highly impressed with Karan Johar's "Student of the Year" (SOTY) and says he is the real star of the film.
"It's a blockbuster. If you have to give the trophy to someone, then it has to be Karan Johar. Hats off to him for making such a good and a big film with newcomers. So if you ask me, the star is Karan Johar," the 60-year-old said here Thursday at the premiere of SOTY.
He believes the film is going to change the landscape of the industry.
"This film will change the landscape of the industry, I can assure you. The new generation is going to take over and thank god. High time new generation comes and takes over," said Bhatt.
Bhatt is Alia Bhatt's uncle, who debuts with SOTY. Talking about her, he said, "Alia is my 'bacchi', so it is a very touching moment for me to see this kid blossom into such a beautiful flower."
At the same time, Bhatt is highly impressed with Varun Dhawan and Siddharth Malhotra too.
"If you tell me to give marks, then I will give all three of them 100 out of 100 and this is not a diplomatic statement. All three of them are wonderful," he said.
"Student of The Year" hits theatres Friday.

I'm getting married in a few months, and need to come up with some ideas for gifts for my groomsmen. My venue is at an old gallery called "The Arcade", so video game gifts could be appropriate as long as they aren't tacky. Does anyone have any ideas?

I got a stein from a buddy of mine I still use it. It had our initials on each one so they were pretty cool. We all drink though.
We all drink quite a bit as well, so steins could work.
This sounds like a question for MBMBaM. I'm actually sort of reading this question in Justin McElroy's voice.
On a very related note, I've been listening to far too much MBMBaM recently.
I want to give you advice, but off the top of my head, I have no idea what kind of budget you have for this. Can you only afford to get them a small, inexpensive memento, or can you buy Vitas for all of your groomsmen, Oprah-style? Inquiring minds need to know.

When I was bestman for my buddy's wedding he gave me a watch and matching cufflinks, and all the groomsmen got the same cufflinks.
When I was a groomsman another time we all got beersteins and mini kegs.

I gave out glass beer mugs with the groomsmen's names engraved on them. I also got that same thing when I was in another friend's wedding, and I still use it. Flasks are good, too. When I got the mugs for my groomsmen they were $18 each, including the engraving, and I think I probably overpaid since it was at a kiosk in the mall.
Pocket knives are a good choice, too. They're useful and probably fit in your budget.

I got a flamberge (made in India) from my Brother in Law. All the groomsmen got swords. Mine matches my sister's rapier (which took forever to clear customs from Pakistan).
What my husband did doesn't really fit the video game theme, he ended up buying nice, leather wallets for the guys. I ended up buying fancy candy from a local confection shop as a supplement to the gifts and then I wrapped everything up in nice themed bags for the groomsmen and the bridesmaids.
I would look for something really nice locally or maybe even on Etsy. Engraved items are nice, as previously mentioned. Cufflinks are cool but I don't know if you're looking for more symbolic gifts or actual practical gifts.
I did a quick search on Etsy under "video game wedding" and came up with this, but there's only one from the seller unfortunately. There are other things too that fit the theme just from looking over the results, but like I said, it depends on what you want to go for. But, I would always recommend candy as a supplement. It went over so well with our friends. There were Maine blueberry dark chocolate bars and ones with bacon, and since our wedding was at the beginning of October, I also had gummy pumpkins. It worked out really well.
This will sound weird, but I would go manly with this, not go geeky or funny. (Hey Tesla and I agree!!)
Get each man a classic shaving kit from Classic Shaving (CS). They have something called the: "YOUR CHOICE" BEGINNER'S BASIC DOUBLE-EDGE SAFETY RAZOR COMPLETE SET. ($74 to $89 depending on choices)
Included in this set is everything you need to start shaving right out of the box.
- a quality, non-aggressive double edge safety razor in "your choice" of either Black or Chrome,
- "your choice" of Ivory or Black Classic Brand Super Badger Shaving Brush,
- "your choice" of traditional shaving mug in three colors,
- "your choice" of razor blades (Good: Lord. Better: Astra. Best: Feather), and your choice of shaving soap in a wide assortment of scents.
You can get straight razors too (super manly), but those are VERY expensive sets.

Get them wet shaving kits: brush, double edge razor, blade sample pack, soap/cream, mug. Put it all in wooden box. Note that to do this right (decent equipment) you'll probably have to pay 50-75 per person if not a little more.
This is what I did. Got 4 kits from http://www.maggardrazors.com/product/budget-starter-kit/ and put them in a cigar box I got from Etsy. Not quite video game related, but still a good gift I think. Congrats OP.

Yes, it is customary, but depends on your friend really. My brother in law gave me...err a knife...or a handshake. My friend from high school have me a case of assorted craft beers. My other friends have not made me a groomsman (yet)...which is fine because being in a wedding party is expensive.

i got married at 21 and was not aware of many of the common practices of getting married such as buying groomsmen gifts. Luckily, i had a best friend as my best man and A groomsmen in the form of my brother in law. Both of them remain close friends today. Come to think of it, i've never received a groomsmen gift for any of the weddings i was in so there's that...

Swiss Army Knives. They're more formal than your normal mutitool and just as good, and you can't argue that they aren't useful gifts for any sort of man. Go expensive, get ones with all the fixings and their names engraved.

I got mine mono-graphed whiskey glasses with their initials, glass beer mugs and whiskey stones. For my brother (my best man) I got him a pocket watch along with the same stuff.
From my friends, some groomsmen gifts I have gotten are a flask/Zippo combo with my initials and a really nice knife (pearl handle, nice wood finish).
Engraved flasks are pretty classy.
I have two different engraved flasks from weddings. Not a bad choice.
Even if people don't drink, it's something to put on the shelf with other home decorations.

If a patient doesn't respond to conservative treatment, the conventional surgical approach has been an extensive procedure called a "decompressive laminectomy"
Dr. Clive Segil explains that a new, minimally invasive procedure uses the iO-Flex™ System in which a very small incision is made and a miniature flexible saw is used by the surgeon, guided with x-ray imagery to perform decompression from the inside-out. The procedure takes about an hour and has a shorter recovery time than conventional surgical decompression procedures. Dr. Segil describes the iO-Flex™ procedure in this video:
The Spine Network can facilitate appointments with highly qualified spinal surgeons who practice across California including the San Francisco Bay area, Los Angeles and San Diego, as well as Reno, NV.
In order to join the Spine Network of California, each surgeon is required to have completed additional spinal fellowship training. Spine Network of California affiliated surgeons each perform more than 100 surgeries a year, which is more than any other general orthopedist in the country. "Our surgeons are among the most experienced spinal care providers in the country: most have been in practice at least ten years, and some have been practicing for more than 20 years," says Trudy Maurer, CEO. "Their advanced training and expertise make them uniquely qualified to correct the full range of spinal conditions--from the simplest injury to the most difficult failed surgery revision."

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 1/29/13
According to Adam Rubin of ESPN New York, the Mets and Daniel Murphy have avoided arbitration and agreed on a one-year deal for $2.925 million dollars. Murphy, 27, had been seeking $3.4 million while the Mets countered with a $2.55 million offer. In his first full season as the Mets second baseman, Murphy batted .291/.332/.403 with six home runs and 65 RBI in 156 games last season. The team also avoided arbitration with Ike Davis and Bobby Parnell earlier this month, so they head into camp without any arbitration hearings hanging over their heads.

For a while I've been thinking about a board that really would fulfill my demands in light wind conditions. A few months ago I sold my Quatro Quad LS95, a superb board which I've been using the last years with lots of pleasure. But it was time for a change! Last January I visited the Boot fair in Düsseldorf and saw this Black Box concept from Starboard.
For a long time I was already thinking about a concept like this. Several other brands already came out with a extreme short board as well. Finally there is a production version coming out. But going from a quad ls 95L back to a 87L BlackBox didn't sound very logical to me, although they (Starboard) claim it to be a light wind board. I'm sure the BlackBox does plane quick, but the float in my opinion stays put on 87L. On minimal days I do almost sink on a 95L and having a light wind board with 8 litres less on volume will not do the magic trick for me. I already have a 75 & 85 litre quad for the windier days… but would love to have a rocking light wind waveboard! 😎 I wanted a board that actually floats when the wind suddenly dies on me, planes quicker then I can get into my harness, turns on a dime, has a light construction and is feeling loose and snappy! A bottom/rocker-shape that is perfect for our NASTY DUTCH MUSHY, everything but perfect waves along the Dutch coastline.
Thickness: We pumped up the thickness off the board I guess, in the middle section. Let the width/outline of the board increase further over the masttrack into the nose area and round it of in a fishy pointy nose! Yeah… the way I LIKE! A windsurf board looking like a fish short surfboard.
Single, twin, tri, thruster or quad; A very wide twin fin setup with a trailer fin in the centre it is. This should make the board feel loose and turn like crazy! Three slot boxes, the center/trailer fin as well (instead of a US box). It saves a bit of weight too. The side boxes are placed 'toe' and as far as possible towards the rail. This setup should make the board very manoeuvrable. In my opinion even more loose compared to a quad setup.
Fins; Probably placing two Maui Ultra Fins X-Twins 16.5cm in the side boxes and in centre a Maui Ultra X-Twin 14.5cm. But I'll try for sure more fin combinations, just to play with the concept and figuring out what works best. The fin-setup mentioned above is going to be the one to begin with.

But now another milestone is being marked as the Queen Mother's fridge celebrates its own 60th anniversary in full-time service.
The General Motors-built appliance at the Castle of Mey in Caithness is now one of the longest-lasting refrigerators in the country.
The Queen Mother used it from its purchase in 1954 until her death in March 2002. Since then, it has continued working almost perfectly and is used by her grandson, Prince Charles, when he stays every summer. Visitors can expect to be shown the old fridge in the castle's kitchen.
Michael Sealey, the Queen Mother's head chef for 32 years, said it was built to last. He added: "It has six-inch-thick doors, not like the thin plastic ones these days which don't last 60 weeks, let alone 60 years.
"The only problem with it was that it needed defrosting occasionally. Other than it being slightly chipped with age, it's in perfect working order."

Spare a thought then for Yang Guang, Britain's only male panda, who appeared exhausted by the whole baby – or in his case cub – business.
Britain's only giant pandas were put together for the first time in the unappealingly named "love tunnel" at Edinburgh Zoo in the hope that they would mate.
But while Tian Tian, the female of the pair, was more than a little obvious in her intentions, Yang Guang was merely shaken and not stirred.
Panda experts have been monitoring her urine for days to check her hormone levels and declared that the time was right.
But as she is only in season for 36 hours a year, Yang Guang, whose name translates as Sunshine, would have to be quick about it.
The omens before the first meeting were good. Keepers swapped their enclosures before the big day to allow them to study each other's scent.
Tian Tian, also known as Sweetie, "rolled in his hay", while Sunshine rubbed his head "all over her tree". This was deemed to be frisky behaviour by panda standards.
Sunshine has also been eating twice his normal intake of bamboo for the past two weeks in an apparent bid to "build up his strength", while Sweetie has been cutting down – both said to be positive developments.
The zoo also pointed out that as both have had cubs in the past they are undoubtedly "pandas of the world" and should know what to do. You get the distinct impression the PR staff are enjoying this story.
Yang Guang suffered colic earlier this year
The zoo even issued a statement saying the nation was "on tenterhooks", and shortly before they were thrown together, Sweetie did all a panda could do to interest a mate.
She called to him, rolled over to display her rear and performed handstands as the anxious Sunshine looked on.
With the panda cam switched off, and the bears hidden from public view, keepers then drew up the gate between their enclosures for the first time since their arrival in Scotland in December.
Queue fireworks? Not exactly. Darren McGarry, head of animals, said: "He did mount her straight away, but no actual copulation took place.
"It is now a question of trying to tantalise him and get him a bit more interested. After ten minutes she started to get fed up because it was not happening, so we separated them at that point."
They were kept apart for 20 minutes, before being put together again – only for Sunshine to repeat his earlier performance. By mid-afternoon, both were sleeping off the stress of it all in their own enclosures.
Another three attempts were made by early evening, with the same result each time. Yang Guang "behaved like a gent", which was not strictly required, and failed to do what a panda only occasionally has to do.
However, staff at the zoo – which is paying China pounds600,000 a year for a ten-year loan of Sweetie and Sunshine – remain positive. They will try again another day in the hope that it will be sixth, seventh or eighth time lucky...before the moment passes for another year.
No pressure then Sunshine.

City of ghostsOn November 8, the American army launched its biggest ever assault on the Iraqi city of Falluja, considered a stronghold for rebel fighters. The US said the raid had been a huge success, killing 1,200 insurgents. Most of the city's 300,000 residents, meanwhile, had fled for their lives. What really happened in the siege of Falluja? In a joint investigation for the Guardian and Channel 4 News, Iraqi doctor Ali Fadhil compiled the first independent reports from the devastated city, where he found scores of unburied corpses, rabid dogs - and a dangerously embittered population

We used these for an outside wedding. I saw them about a week before the wedding. I ordered them hoping they would arrive in time and they were delivered in a couple of days. They were just perfect!! Thank you for your quick delivery. We loved them and will now use them on our back porch.They were even prettier than the photo.Thank you so much.

We bought 2 strands of these in Boscovs at the end of last summer, and are just putting them up for this season. Discovered we needed one more strand, and of course Boscovs had no more. Found them here online. Great service, arrived ahead of schedule. Thank you.

These are high quality lanterns. Very cute. You cannot string multiple ones together, however - only 2 strands. We fixed it with a creative power cord placement! I was pleasantly surprised at how cute they were!

Bob Dylan on Last.fm
Bob Dylan (born Robert Allen Zimmerman on May 24, 1941 in Duluth, Minnesota, United States) is an American musician, poet and artist whose position in popular culture is unique. Dylan started his musical odyssey in 1959 when he began playing in Dinkytown, Minneapolis while attending the University of Minnesota. Shortly after starting to play he changed his stage name to Bob Dylan, after being influenced by the poetry of Dylan Thomas before legally changing his name in 1962.

Over the course of this season I have gone from Dunn is going to have a monster year, to same old Dunn, to Dunn is good but not worth 13 million to Dunn just needs a long term contract at less that 13 million per season. At the same time after having thought about the exciement of passing 600 HRs in Cincy and maybe 660 2 years from now I think that we should keep Griffey too.
Ok say we sign a long term deal with Dunn for about 8-10 million per year for 5 years. If you don't think that a guy who brings in the kind of runs he does is worth that then I don't know what to say to you. Great hitters make 15-25 million per year. Adam Dunn is not a great hitter. That doesn't mean that he does not have alot of value on this team. If not then pick up his option and either trade him for value next July or lose him to free agency and get a high vale compensentory pick in the draft. EIther way it does not appear that anyone is interested in giving us anything good this year. Don't just give him away.
Griffey is going to sell some tickets this August and September because everyone is going to want to watch him break 600. He is still our big ticket, he is producing, he still hustles (did you see the double play breaking slide today?), he isn't a liability imo in the outfield and he gives just a little credibility to this struggling team that other teams like KC, Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh and others don't have. It's going to be alot of fun for all fans to watch him break 600 and hopefully climb into the top 4 all time in HRS in a couple of years.
What I would do if I were Krivsky is bring up Votto and have him as my everyday 1st baseman with Conine and Hatteburg as still very cheap and very good pinch hitters that can also play in the field. I then spend my money if the offseason to get proven veteren (but not OLD) bullpen help. I'm not talking about signing a 40 year old to a 2 million dollar contract. I'm talking about signing a 28-30 year old for 5 million.
I think that a scenaio like this is much more likely because Castellini wants to win today rather than 2 years from now. We are not as bad as the record. The bullpen needs to mature and get some help. That can happen in 1 year.

He's sort of a stylized boar-pig beast. Its not a very dramatic pose. The painting started off as a B&W concept doodle that I just started painting for fun. It was more an exercise in painting and lighting. Crits and comments welcome.

I think this is very good, but I think if you had some harder brush strokes for some lumps on his skin or maybe a texture overlay it would help the realism a great deal.
And on a side note I can't help but think of the old school teenage mutant ninja turtles villain 'Bebop'.
August 1st, 2008 #3
I was about to type this exact same thing, but then I scrolled down and their he was. Good call Harkins
I never read far enough along in the comic books, to find out if Bebop had a whole race and backstory like the Rocksteady aliens, but this guy could definitely be in his biker gang. I like the idea anyway.
Maybe just a little more grizzled with the skin, to really take it over the top.

It's a bit blurred overall except the tips of his tusk and his belt. I'd like to see it brought more into focus. Pigs are a bit hairy in places around the ears and chin. Good, strong expression.
Currently doing the Level Up course, so my SB is going to be lonely
August 2nd, 2008 #5
Hmm nice expression, but please watch your secondary lightsource, in some places it's far too strong (Like under the fang, a more definite cast shadow from the first LS might work out the form better) and sometimes it's hard to make out at all (Likethe ear's)
