I was listening to the latest episode of Spark on CBC radio (it's pretty much the canadian equal to NPR) and
they ran a segment entitled "If gamers ran the world"

"This afternoon, I interviewed Tom Armitage. He's a software designer who recently came to our attention
because of a talk he gave recently, called "If Gamers Ran the World." In it, he puts forth the idea that in
another 10 years, leaders who are the same age as Barack Obama or British Conservative Party leader
David Cameron are now, will be children of the 1970s, and as such, more than likely the first leaders who
grew up with video games as a core part of their way of interact with the world around them. What would
that mean for how they would behave as leaders?"

you can listen to the full interview by clicking
here

after listening to this it got me thinking about how the technology generation can run the world differently

I would like to hope that our generation will be more open to new technologies avoid scapegoating new
things, espesalily since we lived through the whole video game violence thing, but then again, their
generation had to go through the scapegoating of rock and roll, and they don't seem to be able to draw any
parallels...

Anyways, how do you think the younger generation(s) will run the world differently? (if anything changes
anyways)Community Blogs:56963Technology is the devil - LithiumLithium2007-12-01T13:29:25Z2007-12-01T13:29:25ZPaying somone in commision can make them do strange things, things that they know are wrong yet nevertheless insist on presuring you.

"I'm just browsing" you say, wondering why they think a teen with no income could afford to buy a 70 inch LCD high definition TV. You dont look there becuase you're planning on buying, more like because you're dreaming of. Each and every one of us are materialistic and money hungry bastards. Even the rich feel the urge to get richer even at the expense of the impoverished. Yet, that's how the game of capitalism is and if you dont like playing then game then you should get the fuck out of the stadium, people would argue. I doubt that the people who work at these huge appliance stores actually take pleasure in presuring comsumers who're just window shopping. They're threated with their own jobs to do this. It's not like like it's hard to evade their efforts but for the technolocialy challenged, the same people who insist that mediums such as videogames and the internet is the devil will be the ones at fault. Afterall, if there weren't anyone falling for comissionee's* tactics, then there'll be no point in even pressuring people in the first place.

In other words: some idiot has to be purchasing those warranties.

"If your item breaks, we'll replace it no questions asked"
they'll say, and of course the 30 somthing year old soccer mom falls for it, drops the extra 70 bucks and goes on her merry way.

of course when it does break they dont do anything about it.

I find it hard to believe that appliance stores can get away with charging nearly a hundred dollars just so they can pop a disk into your computer to reformat your harddrive and reinstall windows. Yet, who can blame them? There's lots of idiots out there, they're going to be exploited anyways.

The least these idiots can do is make an effort to educate themselves, yet instead of trying to grasp their heads around the idea they don't bother and insist that it's an evil device solely because they fail to understand it. It's not the appliance stores fault that they screw you over, it's YOUR fault if you fail to inform yourself.

The combine is a race from the Xen border world who, after the events of the renaisance cascade in Halflife 1 (a product of an experiment gone wrong, suprise, suprise) enslaves the entire human race in an invasion that lasts only seven hours. This is where our hero, Dr. Gordon Freeman comes in. Out of a stoke of luck he narrowly escapes certain death at nova prospekt due to his long time pal Barney Calhoun intercepting him at the checkpoint. Gordon then goes on to start a revolution against the combine opression and everyone lives hapilly ever after... Or do they?

For the record: Barney still hasn't bought gordon a cold one, says he's too busy rebelling against the combine.

Now, this begs the question:

how the hell can the Combine enslave earth in a matter of hours but seem completely incapable to kill a crowbar wielding nerd!

now wether or not this has effected morale in the combine ranks remains to be seen. Frankly I wouldn't be suporised if they resorted to pulling a pin on a grenade and running at him.

What's that you say? they have?

At this rate, all of the striders in the combine arsenal can't stop this guy. It's not that he's a great warrior either. Frankly because he's kicking their ass with no combat training what so ever This is either a case of incompotent leadership at the hands of the "benefactors" or they really just didn't take the time to train their footsoldiers

"here's a big shiny gun, go blow things up"

I'm willing to bank that it's a combination of both. and it's destined to be covered up and the files proving to be confidential for the rest of eternity due to the fact that the "benefactors" want to hide the fact that they, much like the United States never planned for insurgency and is paying the price and again, like the U.S find themselves caught in the middle of a civil war (zombies, antlions, humans and of course, the combine themselves)

To be frank with you, there way too many similarities between the combine's ocupation of earth and the United States' war in iraq that the "benefactors" might just be the bush administration. Now that's somthing the government definately doesn't wan't you to know.Community Blogs:51525Favourite Videogame parodies - LithiumLithium2007-10-29T01:09:17Z2007-10-29T01:09:17Zfavourite videogame parodies

5: Metal Gear Awesome
Click here to veiw

I'll make this blunt: you're only going to know what's going on if you've played metal gear solid before. If you've never played the game before you will have absolutely no idea what's going on and therefore not understand any of the references in this fasted paced, comedic flash.

4: Super mario bros Z series
Click here to veiw

ok this one's kind of cheating, since it's a whole series, but If you like super mario, sonic or even DBZ you'll apreciate it. This blend of Mario, Sonic and with fight scenes inspired by Dragon Ball Z Is perhaps one of the most cliche series around for a few reasons:

-It's a sprite flash
-said sprite flash has mario and sonic characters
-It rips off DBZ
-has many explosions

Yep it has everything you expect from a generic sprite flash, expect for one thing: The execution of the flash is great, everything to the the fight scenes and even the odd bit of comedy every now and then keeps this animation from getting generic. (ah least they took out the random screaming like in DBZ)

3: Zelda: heart for the hero
click here to veiw

I've allways wondered how Link manages to converse with the deziens of hyrule without uttering a single word, yet Link is somehow able to. Maybe he speaks telepathically with them, I have no freaking clue to be honest. Anyways, It's about time that his inability to talk finally catches up to him. This animation is short, but sweet anyone who's played a zelda game will like it.

2: 8 bit D&D
Click hereto veiw
Technically this isn't a videogame parody since it's about Dungeons and dragons but I'll let that slide since it uses the 8 bit final fantasy sprites. If there's a quote that can sum up this animation it's this:

"ARE THERE ANY CHICKS THERE?! BECAUSE IF THERE ARE I WANT TO DO THEM!"

1: Red vs Blue
Click here to veiw
you can also click here
and you can click here for another one!

You didn't think I'd forget about this series, did you? Red vs Blue may be a machinima rather than a parody (unless you count the pubbers on xbox live, click the last link to see what I mean) I absolutely love this series, since I couldnt pick from all of the episodes I decided to search for a montage of the best moments in the series, I couldnt even pick between those. So please, do yourself a favour and watch all three of the linked collections :D

A fluorescent image of the heart of a mosquito taken by a Vanderbilt graduate student has captured first place in Nikon's "Small World" 2010 photomicrography competition.
Jonas King took the image that shows a section of the tube-like mosquito heart magnified 100 times. He is a member of the research group of Julin Hillyer, assistant professor of biological sciences, and the image was taken as part of their research on the circulatory system of Anopheles gambiae, a mosquito that spreads malaria.
According to Nikon, 2,200 images were submittedthe largest number in the 36-year history of the competitionand King's image was judged the winner for its combination of aesthetic beauty, scientific relevance and the technical difficulty involved in capturing it.
"Surprisingly little is known about the mosquito's circulatory system despite the key role that it plays in spreading the malaria parasite," Hillyer said. "Because of the importance of this system, we expect better understanding of its biology will contribute to the development of novel pest and disease control strategies."
The mosquito's heart and circulatory system is dramatically different from that of mammals and humans. A long tube extends from the insect's head to tail and is hung just under the cuticle shell that forms the mosquito's back. The heart makes up the rear two-thirds of the tube and consists of a series of valves within the tube and helical coils of muscle that surround the tube. These muscles cause the tube to expand and contract, producing a worm-like peristaltic pumping action.
Most of the time, the heart pumps the mosquito's blooda clear liquid called hemolyphtoward the mosquito's head, but occasionally it reverses direction. The mosquito doesn't have arteries and veins like mammals. Instead, the blood flows from the heart into the abdominal cavity and eventually cycles back through the heart. "The mosquito's heart works something like the pump in a ga

2-channel parametric EQ with peaking/shelving on high- and low-frequency bands.
The TL Audio 5013 Parametric EQ offers a perfect combination of performance and affordability among TL Audio equalizers. The 5013 is a rackmount EQ that features a peaking/shelving option on both low-frequency and high-frequency bands plus a Fat-contour switch on both channels. Like all TL Audio equipment, the interfacing options couldn't be more flexible--separate input and output level controls allow easy level matching with any other equipment, and a choice of balanced and unbalanced line inputs/outputs plus instrument DI inputs means you can get yourself up and running in seconds. Once you have experienced high-quality equalization, you won't want to record without it. If you've always thought that your console EQ is good enough, just try the 5013 equalizer and you won't go back.
The 5013 EQ unit employs two valve stages per channel, in the form of a Sovtek ECC83/12AX7A twin triode valve. One stage is positioned prior to the EQ filters, and one is post EQ. Both are run at 150V DC from a fully stabilized PSU.
About TL Audio
TL Audio began manufacturing audio products in 1990, when the company - founded by Tony Larking - was largely involved in the restoration and re-selling of vintage equipment such as Neve and Trident recording consoles. The first TL Audio products were original Neve EQ modules, which were taken principally from broadcast consoles and re-packaged to make them suitable for music production studios. Shortly after this Tony Larking was introduced to David Kempson, a leading designer at Neve for nine years.
By 1993 the demand for used valve outboard equipment had become very strong but most models such as the original Pultec and Fairchild valve devices were already extremely rare and expensive. There appeared an obvious gap in the market for brand new affordable valve products and the result was TL Audio's first valve product - the EQ-1 Dual Valve Equalizer. This product revolutionized the studio market by offering reliable, flexible, great sounding valve processing that was within the budget of most studios. The EQ-1 quickly attracted the interest of mainstream engineer/producers, with the first two production models going to Roy Thomas Baker (who had produced many of Queen and Foreigner's early recordings) and Chris Porter (who was working with George Michael and Take That).
The EQ-1 was the first of what became known as the 'Classic' range, and was followed by what has become possibly TL Audio's best known product - the C-1 Dual Valve Compressor, which shot to stardom as Chris Fogel's mixdown compressor on Alanis Morissette's multi-million selling 'Jagged Little Pill' album.
The Ivory Series
With the Classic range expanding to include more models, the growth in popularity of affordable digital recorders and mixers heightened the appetite for valve processing, which led to lower-cost ranges such as the Ivory models. The Ivory series of preamps, equalizers and dynamics devices has become TL Audio's best selling range of products to date. The Ivory Series satisfied all the criteria that we knew customers were looking for: a great sound, flexibility and user friendliness, all with a smaller price tag!
Today, TL Audio has become one of the most respected names currently manufacturing Pro Audio equipment. According to designer David Kempson, "Our hybrid design approach was not chosen to cut costs: we created it because we genuinely believe it is a better way of producing valve processors. It makes them consistent, reliable, quiet, and - best of all - it means that by gearing ourselves up for large-scale production we can make the products affordable as well. Every studio deserves to benefit from the advantages of valve signal processing - with our products, we make that possible."
TL Audio — Plug in the real thing.
Just try the 5013 equalizer and you won't go back. Order yours today!

Comments about TL Audio Ivory 5013 Parametric EQ:
I have had the TL Audio 5013 for about a year. It has become a piece of equipment that is indispensible in my studio. There isn't any EQ problem that it cannot resolve. The hybrid tube/solid state design is very versatile and can deliver amazing amounts of sonic detail. I use this EQ in conjunction with a TL Audio 5051 voice processor and with a Universal Audio LA 610 MKII. I also own a Focusrite ISA 430 MKII. The TL Audio equipment is second to none.

Falklands, South Georgia and Antarctica: Explorers and Kings
This extended expedition encompasses the wildlife paradise of South Georgia, the remote Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas), as well as the extraordinary beauty of the Antarctic Peninsula. You'll experience a great diversity of environments and landscapes, which will provide unprecedented wildlife viewing opportunities. Join us for the quintessential Antarctic experience for polar travelers!
In brief:
• Explore the world's seventh continent on the Antarctic Peninsula by ship, Zodiac and on foot;
• Learn about Antarctica's unique geology, history and wildlife with an expert team of lecturers;
• See the incredible wildlife of South Georgia, including 30 breeding bird species and four penguin species;
• Follow in the footsteps of Sir Ernest Shackleton's perilous voyages on South Georgia and pause for a moment at his graveside;
• Explore the quaint, British town of Port Stanley in the Falkland Islands;
• Immerse yourself in the icy realm of the Antarctic by taking an optional kayaking excursion; and
• On board lecturers and educational presentations from Polar specialists.
Special Interest Voyage:
The Nov. 14-Dec. 02, 2013 departure is a Special Interest Voyage with guest host, Patricia Schultz, author of the best selling book "1,000 Places to See Before You Die".
Day 1 — Ushuaia, Argentina
Your gateway for this expedition is Ushuaia, Argentina. Nestled within the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, Ushuaia offers you a small-town feel but has many shops, museums, cafés and restaurants to enjoy before your voyage. If you're feeling adventurous, the nearby national park and Martial Glacier offer plenty of hiking and outdoor activities.
Day 2 — Embarkation Day
As we embark, the anticipation and excitement grows. Trade your land legs for sea legs, meet and greet your fellow travelers and get acquainted with your ship. As every Antarctic adventure presents new opportunities and experiences, embarkation day is just as exciting for your Expedition Team as it is for you. They're onboard to ensure your comfort and safety, as well as to help make your wildlife dreams come true.
Day 3 — At Sea
There are many activities to keep you engaged while you are at sea. Learn to identify seabirds that glide alongside the ship or attend dynamic presentations by your Expedition Team. You will be prepped on procedures for your Zodiac cruises and shore landings. You'll also be given instructions for getting the most out of your optional kayaking adventures, a truly intimate way to experience Antarctica.
Days 4 & 5 — Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas)
Upon arrival in this archipelago your cameras will get their first real workout capturing the abundant wildlife and the rugged feel of the Falklands (Malvinas). The archipelago contains two main islands - East and West, which we will explore by Zodiac excursions and daily landings.
Port Stanley is often a favored landing site, as the town offers a unique British outpost feel to it, complete with a bit of a ramshackle charm. You'll be free to explore the town, grab a pint at the local pub, or visit numerous churches and museums.
In terms of wildlife, the archipelago is home to magellanic, gentoo and rockhopper penguins. If lucky, you may even spot king penguins here as well! You can expect to see black-browed albatross and two endemic bird species; Cobb's wren and the Falkland's flightless steamer duck.
Your team of lecturers and specialists will be sure to educate you on the local flora and fauna so that you get the most out of your time in the Falklands.
Days 6 & 7 — At Sea
Sailing south, you'll officially enter Antarctic waters by crossing the invisible biological boundary called the Antarctic Convergence. Encircling the continent, cold Antarctic waters meet and mix with the warmer waters of the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, creating an abundance of krill and marine life that attracts whales and seals to this part of the world. Expedition staff will be sure to keep you posted when you cross this invisible, yet important line.
Days 8 to 11 — South Georgia
This remote outpost was a popular stop for many historic Antarctic expeditions and was once a haven for hunting whales and elephant and fur seals. Today, South Georgia Island wildlife populations have rebounded, but you'll still see remnants of those old whaling stations and other abandoned outposts.
One significant and historic site that will be of interest is the grave of the great explorer, Sir Ernest Shackleton. You can visit his grave at the settlement of Grytviken, which is also home to an old whaling station, a museum, gift shop, church and a small research station.
While South Georgia's history is an important attraction to the islands, it is the wildlife on South Georgia that you and your shipmates will surely find most captivating. Often referred to as the 'Galapagos of the Poles', each landing you make on South Georgia will open your eyes to a new wonder of wildlife.
One day you may see rookeries with a hundred thousand pairs of king penguins waddling on the beach. The next day you may visit another beach with thousands of fur or elephant seals. The grasses, mountains and beaches of South Georgia all play an important role in the breeding and survival of different species on the island, this fragile and symbiotic relationship is something that your Expedition Team will share with you during your time here.
Days 12 & 13 — At Sea
Say goodbye to the king penguins, as your next destination is Antarctica! Your days at sea are filled with seminars from your Expedition Team, who will prepare you for the wildlife that will be greeting you upon your arrival in Antarctica. In between presentations, spend time chatting with your shipmates over a drink at the bar.
If conditions allow, we may attempt landfall on the South Orkney Islands, our first official stop in Antarctica.
Days 14 to 17 — South Shetland Islands and Antarctic Peninsula
The most common reaction to arriving at the white continent is a sense of reverence and awe. The experience is hard to put into words, as few places are as untouched, unique and enduring as Antarctica. You will discover that Antarctica is a land of extremes. At one moment you'll be overcome with a feeling of complete desolation and silence, at the next moment you'll be inspired by nature as a calving glacier crashes into the brilliant blue sea or a penguin comes waddling by to inspect your footwear.
Your Expedition Team will take care of you at each landing, whether it is trekking up a glacier, visiting a research station or consorting with penguin colonies. Chinstrap, Adélie and gentoo penguins are found here, along with Weddell, fur, crabeater and leopard seals. Curious whales, such as minkes, are often attracted to our Zodiacs, giving you a chance to get within reaching distance of these majestic animals. Each day and every landing will present a new collection of creatures to entertain you and keep your camera shutter busy.
As exciting as the Zodiac excursions and landings are, perhaps you'll treat yourself to an extra special Antarctic experience by partaking in an optional (extra cost) kayaking excursion or going for a swim in Antarctic waters!
Days 18 & 19 — Crossing the Drake Passage
After more than two weeks of endless wildlife encounters, your journey home begins. Crossing the Drake Passage is your unofficial rite of passage, completing your Antarctic adventure.
Enjoy some final moments mingling with your fellow travelers. The noisy, busy, populated world awaits your return, so savor the silence of the sea as long as you can.
Day 20 — Disembarkation in Ushuaia, Argentina
After breakfast aboard the ship, it is time to part ways and say goodbye to your Expedition Team. We will transfer you to the airport for your homeward flight.
Please note: The 19 day itinerary on the Ocean Diamond and Sea Adventurer spends one less day exploring South Georgia (days 8-10)
Important reminder: Embracing the unexpected is part of the legacy – and excitement – of expedition travel. There are no guarantees that we can achieve everything we set out to accomplish. A measure of flexibility is something all of us must bring to a voyage. There are nearly 200 recognized sites in the Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetlands and the places mentioned above may be changed to others equally as interesting.

Spokane, WA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/28/2014 -- Emotional eating can sabotage the best laid weight loss goals. Many people reach for fatty, processed comfort foods during stressful or disappointing times. Fortunately, Diet Doc's emotional eaters diet plans have helped thousands resist the urge to reach for the cookie jar or overindulge in that second helping at dinner.
Patients who want to break their emotional eating habit will work closely with Diet Doc's certified nutritionists, who will teach them how to choose satisfying, healthy foods instead of high calorie processed foods and sugary snacks during times of stress. Patients will speak directly to a fast weight loss professional, complete a health questionnaire and schedule a one-on-one online consult with one of Diet Doc's highly trained physicians. During this initial consult, the doctor will review the entire system to uncover any metabolic or lifestyle changes or hormonal imbalances that may be causing weight gain or preventing weight loss.
Also during the consult, the physician will make recommendations, including exclusive prescription hormone treatments and fat accelerating diet pills, that work flawlessly with the emotional eaters diet plans. If the doctor determines that the patient is, in fact, an emotional eater, they may include natural, prescription saffron extract, the first treatment known to effectively relieve symptoms of emotional overeating, while also lifting the spirit and improving the mood.
Although saffron extract has been prescribed to treat emotional overeating, this is not necessarily each patient's cause of weight gain and may not be effective in delivering fast weight loss to every patient. Unlike other diet plans, however, the Diet Doc team of physicians, nurses and nutritionists take time prior to beginning the emotional eaters diet plan to identify each patient's personal needs and any underlying health issues that could be causing weight gain.
Personal attention and service is always readily available for patients who follow the emotional eaters diet plans. Weekly checkup calls are scheduled to monitor comfort level, attitude, mood and weight loss progress.

He is adorable and we can't wait to hear more when you are ready.
Oh my gosh!!! Huge congrats to you and your family! Also can't wait to hear the birth story :)
Man, I guess this means these babies are real, and they're coming!! Yikes and hooray!!!
December 27th- I had been kind of feeling off all evening and at 10pm I started having contractions every 20 mins or so. I was starting to get excited and nervous and couldn't sleep and kept thinking, "if it is "time" I need to get this house cleaned up." It was around midnight and my husband and I had done as much cleaning as we felt necessary and at this point my contractions were between 2 and 7 minutes apart. I called my midwife at 1:30am and she said it still sounded really early since I wasn't really working hard yet and told me to try to rest. I tried but my DD decided not to sleep (I think she knew something was up.) So needless to say I got no sleep that night. DD didn't fall back to sleep until around 5 am.
We called my midwife again at 7 am and she came at 8 to check me. I thought I was working pretty hard at that point but little did I know that I really wasn't. I was so tired when she got here from not getting much, if any, sleep. My DH said, "Can she have a glass of wine?" She said, "Absolutely! Have a glass. That will help you get some rest!' She told DH not to hesitate to call her again, even if it is just in an hour, if things change. I had a small glass of wine and then slept for the most part till 11 am when I woke up in transition. So when I started screaming, crying and swearing during contractions, DH called my parents to come get DD and he called the midwife at that point as well. (I guess I am a screamer... oops!)
We were supposed to go to two Christmas parties that day but our LO had other plans. So, other than my parents, we didn't announce I was in labor so we could avoid all the phone call/texts asking for updates (thank goodness we made that decision!) My Midwife got here at 12 and started setting up the pool. I was in a lot of pain and my amazing DH sat and rubbed my back the entire time and encouraged me. He was absolutely wonderful and I don't know how I would have gotten through it without him. He was an amazing support partner!
Once the pool was ready I jumped in which did help with the pain a little. When I felt like I just couldn't do it anymore I asked My midwife to go ahead and check me. She checked and said, "Tiffany, feel this." So I did. She said, "What do you feel?" I was like, "a head" lol His head was about a quarter inch from coming out and this was at 1:40 pm. She said, "Push that baby out!' So with my next contraction I started pushing. The second push and his head was out. Third and his body shot out in the water. Like rocketed out. I had to rush after to get him. He was almost born in the amniotic sac, it broke right before he came out. I grabbed him and put him on my chest. I just cried and was so happy and just held him to me. At this point I didn't know he was a "he" yet. I looked up after a while and was like, "Wait a second... Is it a boy or girl." My midwife said, "That's your job! Check!" So I moved his cord and legs and well you get the idea! I looked at my DH and he just had tears rolling down his face. It was just such a perfect moment. Then my midwife let me just take my time and I delivered the placenta about 20 minutes later. DH then cut the cord since it was done pulsing and was delivered. Then I was able to climb into my own bed and nurse my sweet little boy. He nursed for awhile and everything was just so quiet, calm and relaxing. After he was done and we were ready my midwife examined us both. I only had a very small tear which I decided not to bother even having stitched. I probably wouldn't have even torn because he is such a little peanut, (6 lbs. 15 oz. 20 ¼ inches) but I was trying to push him out in one push. Silly me!
I can't even describe how wonderful it was to be in the comfort of my own home and to be in control of my birth experience. Even though it was a heck of a lot easier with my DD to just get an epidural, I would never go back!! I had control of my body and everything around me the whole time. I am so thankful for my amazing midwife and how encouraging, kind and professional she is. It was so amazing to get to catch my own baby, to put him to my own chest and to check for myself his gender! My midwife did so very much but yet was so low profile!
Even though I was allowed to eat during I really didn't feel up to it! I just ate a couple mini protein bars and drank coconut water (which was amazing at keeping my hydrated) and water.
I couldn't believe how great I felt after having him. My recovery has been so much faster and easier than with DD. I haven't had to leave my house yet! My DD just loves him and has been a great big sister and helper! She just wants to kiss him and rub his head all the time. It is very cute! Well that is my story, at least how I remember it! My handsome little Atlas Peregrine!
Happily married to my DH (05/06) and stay-at-home mom to a beautiful daughter (01/11), a handsome son (12/13) and three sweet angel babies (2/12, 11/12 and 12/14) and due Oct with another blessing.
I'm crying. Too bad I am at work otherwise I'd be sobbing. I am so happy to read this Tiff. So happy.
Congrats again, you did amazing Mama.
Happily married with two tots ( J 10/18/08) & ( T 5/03/10)
Crying, too! What a beautiful experience! I am feeling overjoyed for you, and so inspired.
That is a wonderful story- Congratulations!
Iowaorganic- mama to DD (1/5/06), DS1 (4/9/07), DS2 (1/22/09), DS3 (12/10/10), DD2 (7/6/12) and a new kid due in early 2014

Austin Man Arrested Again After Videotaping Arrest
Austin police have arrested a man for the third time who videotapes Austin police officers when they make arrests.
Antonio Buehler was booked into jail Friday at 1:50 a.m. He is charged with interfering with public duties.
According to the ACLU's Debbie Russell, Buehler and Sarah Dickerson pulled over to videotape a drunk driving arrest on West 6th Street between Lamar Boulevard and MoPac.
Russell said an officer told them to back up. They were about 30 feet away and backed up to 60 feet away, according to Russell. Then Buehler said he was leaving, and that is when he and Dickerson were taken into custody, Russell said.
Austin police have arrested Buehler twice before while videotaping officers. On New Year's Day he was charged him with harassment of a public servant after he took pictures of a DWI arrest. In August, Buehler was arrested interference with a public duty.
After the New Year's arrest, Buehler helped form the
Peaceful Streets Project.
Members regularly videotape police.
Austin police would not comment about the arrest.

Ducks re-sign defenseman Lovejoy
Jun 28, 2013, 12:40 AM EDT
The Anaheim Ducks acquired Ben Lovejoy in a trade earlier in the 2013 regular season, and apparently like what they got.
The Ducks re-signed Lovejoy to a three-year deal, which was announced Thursday. The Ducks, citing club policy, did not disclose the terms of that deal.
According to Capgeek.com, it's a three-year contract worth $3.3 million.
Lovejoy was slated to become an unrestricted free agent on July 5.
Lovejoy began his NHL career with the Pittsburgh Penguins, before being picked up in a trade with the Ducks in February.
In 32 regular season games, Lovejoy had 10 assists. He also appeared in all seven playoff games for the Ducks in the opening round, with two helpers.

Shelton, CT 06484
The Clean Air Act amendments of 1990 require that oxygenated compounds be added to gasoline to produce fuel with increased oxygen content. Oxygenated fuel is desirable because it burns more completely, thereby reducing tailpipe emissions. The most commonly used fuel oxygenate additive is methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE).
The transportation, transfer and especially storage of oxygenated fuel in underground tanks present a risk to the environment. Leaks and spillage can contaminate ground, surface and waste waters, representing a significant threat to drinking-water supplies. Consequently, there is an increasing need for the analysis of MTBE in water by many state and federal agencies. In addition, there are new regulations requiring that MTBE be phased out, so the detection and quantification of other fuel oxygenates must also be considered.1
This field application report describes the use of a PerkinElmer TurboMatrix HS-110 Trap and Clarus 500 GC/MS optimized for low-level determination of fuel oxygenates by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Method 8260B. The headspace trap uses heat to extract (partition) the compounds out of the water into an equilibrium headspace, instead of purging. This transports a significant and highly reproducible fraction of the analytes from the sample onto a thermal desorption trap, where they are retained and focused on a multi-bed adsorbent packing before injection onto the GC column. The headspace trap offers operators low detection limits, excellent linearity and high throughput for fast sample turnaround.

PopEater's Guide to Weight Loss on Television
Weight loss porn has become a special form of voyeuristic television. Each of the shows approaches losing weight in a different way, and at some point each has been criticized for what seem to be extreme and unsafe tactics to lose weight in a way that is visible in a short period of time so the at-home audience can viscerally experience the visual effects of the loss.
'The Biggest Loser' is the granddaddy of all these shows and has become a multimillion-dollar franchise unto itself, selling DVDs, weight loss books, diet foods and various other devices to help overweight fans of the show feel like they are participating in the series. The show started in 2004 with contestants competing to lose the greatest percentage of their body fat for a cash prize.
The extreme weight loss portrayed on the show has long had nutrition experts concerned about the health and safety of the participants.
"'Biggest Loser' set the weight loss reality show stage, and for that [it] will take the initial knocks that the trainers abuse contestants or that it's not real life. It isn't real life, it's reality television, but I think it inspires many people and potentially gives participants a jump start. We've seen mixed results with weight maintenance, but people are better off having been on show," says registered dietician Lauren Slayton of Foodtrainers.
Then, in January 2005, VH1 aired the first episode of 'Celebrity Fit Club,' a reality television series that followed eight overweight celebrities trying to shed pounds.
The original cast was even lower on the rungs of the fame ladder than the types of people chosen for weight loss endorsements. The first season featured comedian Ralphie May, actor Joseph Gannascoli, actress Kim Coles, Wendy Kaufman -- the overweight woman who once appeared in Snapple commercials, actor Daniel Baldwin, rapper Biz Markie and Divorce Court Judge Mablean Ephriam.
In eight weeks, the original group lost an average of 25 lbs. Contestants are paid up to $100,000 to participate -- that is the amount that Britney Spears' ex-husband Kevin Federline reportedly negotiated for himself for season seven. Federline lost 30 lbs, cashing in at over $3,000 per pound.
But the real benefit of gaining and losing weight in the public eye isn't the money; it is the increased exposure and boost in popularity for a group of has-beens.
MTV's 'I Used to Be Fat' emerged on the scene late last year from the same producers as 'The Biggest Loser' and follows teens during the summer after high school as they work to lose weight and transform themselves before entering college. The fact that the show's contestants are so young has some nutrition experts concerned.
"The age group worries me. I feel with 'Biggest Loser' that the contestants have been around the weight loss block and know this is extreme. I feel high school is too early for crash diets and plastic surgery," Slayton tells PopEater.
'Heavy,' a new kind of weight loss beast, debuted on A&E this month. Instead of pitting people against each other in a competition to lose weight and/or make money, they pair overweight people together to encourage one another. The show focuses less on the evils of food and more on the psychological aspects behind weight loss and gain. The show gives its subjects the tools for weight loss and then sends them back to their regular lives, where they are followed by cameras for an extended period of time.
Instead of offering a big prize or trumpeting the virtue of a one-time drop of pounds, 'Heavy' looks to change the person's overall mindset about fat, something leading registered dietitian Elisa Zied says is healthier for the long term.
"I think for most people and for the contestants, the extremes can lead to or contribute to health problems not to mention emotional ups and downs and set you up for failure long term. If you don't completely change your day-to-day life and the behaviors and circumstances that led to your current weight battles, you can't expect to maintain the improved, albeit extreme, behaviors you engaged in while participating on a show designed primarily for entertainment value ," Zied, the author of 'Nutrition at Your Fingertips,' told PopEater.
'Heavy' is by far the most encouraging and least dangerous on the roster of weight loss shows. It is still a voyeuristic journey into what is one of the most difficult challenges of a person's life, but it doesn't reward or encourage bad behavior with monetary carrots the way some of the other programs do. Because of that, 'Heavy' can seem less dramatic and compelling. It remains to be seen if an audience will tune in each week to watch a progressive and healthy weight loss without all the excitement and drama of explicit winning and losing.

In the past year and a half, I've lost over 100 lbs. Shows like this inspire people to lose weight. I have no support system to help me lose the pounds, so these shows are important to me. I am no longer a "fatty" thanks to "Biggest Loser".

Gunnarsson is of course overplayed, but there's a reason for that. He's our only top 4 capable shutdown defenceman... and when a guy is overplayed, it's highly unlikely that he's going to be traded.
The only time handedness is a factor, is on the PP, when you really want at least one guy playing the off-side to set up a 1-timer.
Handedness is very important.
Offensive dmen may find it easier to transition to the off side (Phanuef) because it gives them a better angle for passes/shots but on a defensive level the way your stick faces provides a huge disadvantage when forwards are attacking.
For a team that pinches a lot like Vancouver a left handed dman has a very hard time holding pucks in on their off side. They basically have to accept passes on their backhand in the O zone. Most professional have been playing the same side for years, it's not an easy transition at all.
On a stacked team like Vancouver there is no need to displace a better player (Hamhuis, Edler) to accommodate Gunnarsson. He's not that good.

USA I still believes it's team to beat

WHISTLER, British Columbia -- For months, the USA I bobsled team of Steven Holcomb, Steve Mesler, Justin Olsen and Curt Tomasevicz has been saying it believed it was the team to beat in the Olympic four-man bobsled competition.
Olsen, in particular, repeated the refrain, convinced his position did not add pressure to a team trying to break a 62-year gold-medal drought for the United States. Olsen held to his position even though the great German bobsledder Andre Lange would be retiring ...
