Does your husband hate me? It's ok, you can be honest. I've heard it dozens of times, "Would you quit changing your house? Now my wife thinks we need to change OURS!"

I know I posted about my gallery wall design after I designed it in Photoshop, and I'm proud to say that it is finally done! I changed my mind on a few things as the process unfolded and, for me, that is just part of the design process. I probably drive my hubby NUTSO with my wishy washy behavior, but it takes time to get things just right!

One of my favorite things to do is to decorate with Photoshop! There's something fun about seeing a preview of what a wall will look like. I tend to play around with Photoshop when I'm deciding on a paint color in a space too! I'm a freak like that sometimes. I am a visual person, so I tend to make decisions based on how things LOOK {or how they will hypothetically look since I draw them in Photoshop}. I keep … [Read more...]

Usually you can find websites that get the movie about a month or so before it comes out. I use a website that I've watched pretty much every bigger movie about a month and a half to a week in advance of it coming to theaters cause why the **** would I pay ~$10 for every movie I want to see.

The two were photographed smooching on a yacht while vacationing in Portofino, Italy.
Over the weekend, when ET asked Hough about her love life, she played coy, saying, "If you guys want to know anything about boys or relationships, you'll just have to listen to the music, 'cause it's all in there."
Just this morning, "American Idol" host Seacrest was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Host For A Reality Or Reality -- Competition Program.

Raytheon will soon stage a demonstration of a system for launching an unmanned air vehicle from underwater, moving a step closer to follow-on tests using a submerged submarine.
US Navy submarines move relatively freely under the surface, but have limited vision at periscope height, says Jeff Zerbe, Raytheon programme director for the submarine over the horizon organic capabilities effort. For example, the top masts of an aircraft carrier could probably be detected by periscope from a distance of 20km (10.8nm), but the submarine would be unlikely to positively identify the vessel.
The ability to launch a disposable unmanned aircraft from underwater could dramatically extend a submarine's visual range for surface contacts, says Zerbe, a former USN submarine commander.
About four years ago, Zerbe and Raytheon engineering fellow Dave Bossert proposed how to operate UAVs from a submarine. The small aircraft, equipped with sensors and communications links, are loaded into a waste disposal tube which can be ejected into the water. This floats to the surface and stabilises at a 30° angle before the UAV is launched.
The host submarine could directly control the aircraft from underwater or allow it to fly autonomously, only receiving sensor and communications updates from its free-roaming aerial sensor.
Raytheon has designed the UAV to be a disposable asset, both in terms of engineering and price, Zerbe says.
The first demonstration of the system took place on 10 September, when two surface launch vehicles were submerged to 24m (80ft) and allowed to float to the surface. The next will come within a few weeks, and demonstrate a full-up aircraft launch. After that event, Raytheon plans to reveal the identity of its selected UAV and aircraft supplier. The company confirms the aircraft's ground control system is compatible with the Swift Engineering blended wing Killer Bee design: the Raytheon/Swift team's offering for the proposed USN/US Marine Corps small tactical unmanned aircraft system/Tier II contract.
A follow-on test is planned next year to demonstrate the entire system, including the ejection from the submarine's waste disposal unit. Raytheon expects this to be followed by a series of user assessments, giving the submarine community time to become comfortable with the tactics for operating their own UAVs.

Frankly speaking I was on a budget trip and wanted to make the most of my Cyprus trip. We came accross Micheal's beach appartments. The rooms were clean and big. The toilet too was nice and simple. The best thing about this hotel is it is centrally located in Larnaca mid way between AyiaNapa & Paphos other two main locations in Cyprus. This hotel's other benifit is that it is just close walk from the beach, say 500 mts and it also has a beautiful swiming pool. The house keeping was good and done daily. Car parking was nice and close to resturants in the same street like pizza hut & some other resturants. This is a budget place and would recommend it to anyone. It also has a mini market for basic needs and a bar on the beach which serves light snacks , coffee etc. I liked the place very much and surely you will like it too if in a budget travel and looking to enjoy the beach & pool.

Keeping her attention on the agility coursePosted by: Jeff Rowland
Category: General Training
Posted on: October 23, 2001 at 12:01:59
Sadie and I have been running agility courses for about two years now and have recently started competing. My problem is that as soon as we get to a new venue she becomes so distracted by all the commotion, sites, smells, etc. that I hardly exist and all our training goes out the window.
I've tried using her favorite toy to get her attention but that makes her so excited that she flies off the contacts and won't take her eyes off me to work away. She just barks at me to give her the toy.
Does anyone have any unique suggestions to offer? Right now we train primarily with clickers and treats. Which works very well, at home. My problem exists only at the trials. Thanks for your input.

Second Honeymoon for Mary's Camry?
Mary's Camry is reliable, has low mileage and is working fine. The problem? She can't stand the sight of the rusty wheels, even though her mechanic assures her there's no safety risk. Tom and Ray say there's no danger, but if it's driving her crazy, she has a lot of low-cost options for beutifying the wheels and rekindling the flame with this car.

Stan Kroenke is a public figure, not a public person. He seldom talks to reporters, rarely mugs for the camera and listens to the radio considerably more often than he converses on it.
And so it is that I'd like to thank him for taking a few minutes last week to answer some questions. Granted, it was via e-mail, but this is Stan Kroenke we're talking about.
You take what you can get.
The subject of my questions was Kiki Vandeweghe's future or, for all we know, lack thereof, as general manager of the basketball division of Kroenke Sports Enterprises, LLC - the Nuggets to you and me. Since Vandeweghe's future has become a topic of considerable debate in Our Town, I asked him to clear up the matter once and for all.
Sure enough, Kroenke sent me an e-mail a few days later. As opposed to, say, clearing up the matter once and for all. Truth is, I'm more confused now than I was before.
One of my questions concerning Vandeweghe was, "Can you say unequivocally that he will be given a long-term contract to remain as GM?" Seemed to me like a straightforward, either-or, yes-or-no kind of question. Kroenke's answer?
"It's been our policy ever since we got involved in professional sports not to discuss internal matters. When you start to address such sensitive issues in public or through the media, things can easily be misinterpreted or misconstrued. We are happy that Kiki is under contract and is general manager of the Nuggets.
Alrighty then. Guess that clears that up.
Turns out I wasn't alone in my quest to ascertain Vandeweghe's status. Reporters from The Post and the Rocky Mountain News also were allowed to forward questions. Kroenke responded to a question from The News by stating Vandeweghe "is in no way, shape or form a lame duck."
He's not a lame duck, but Vandeweghe has a year remaining on his contract and his boss, to my knowledge, has shown no inclination to discuss extending it, much less actually do it.
If that doesn't make Vandeweghe a lame duck, I'm not sure what to call him. And if he's not a lame duck, at what point does he officially become one? The day he's fired? Or would that make him a dead duck?
There's an endless array of questions surrounding Vandeweghe's status, but Kroenke, true to his lack of words, is providing precious few answers. Ask him why he allowed Vandeweghe to talk to the Cleveland Cavaliers about their vacant GM job, and his response is as follows: "Kiki asked that he be allowed to talk to Cleveland, and we allowed him to under certain conditions. Again, I will not comment specifically about Kiki's discussions with us or any other team. I think we've all seen recently what happens when other teams take private issues public. Kiki is our general manager, and we will continue to support him wholeheartedly."
As opposed to giving him a new contract to ensure that he remains the Nuggets' general manager. You know, so Kroenke can continue to support him wholeheartedly.
At least we know how Kroenke rates Vandeweghe's performance on the job. Well, sort of.
Wrote Kroenke, when asked to evaluate Vandeweghe's tenure as GM: "... There are many great people in the organization, both new and those who have been here many, many years. Kiki and the entire staff have done a fine job and should be proud of all they've accomplished."
Question was, is and will continue to be, has Vandeweghe accomplished enough to keep his job? Yes, the Nuggets were a moribund team with major salary cap problems when Vandeweghe assumed command. Today, they're one of the NBA's most exciting teams, one that won 32 of its final 40 games and projects to win 50-plus next season.
Then again, Vandeweghe is the one who bypassed Phoenix Suns superstar Amare Stoudemire not once, but twice in the 2002 draft. To compound matters, he chose Euro bust Nikoloz Tskitishvili, since traded, and Brazilian forward Nene, who has yet to emerge into a starting-caliber NBA player.
Then there's the George Karl issue. The Nuggets were a dysfunctional team before Karl's arrival, with a 17-25 record to prove it. Thus the question: Does Kroenke give the bulk of the credit for the Nuggets' resurgence to the GM who assembled the team or the coach who turned it around?
It was all in the e-mail. I also asked Kroenke how big a factor money was in his dealings, or lack thereof, with Vandeweghe. And whether he let Vandeweghe talk to the Cavs to establish his market value among NBA general managers. And whether it was possible that Karl, as he has done in previous NBA stops, would wind up calling the Nuggets' personnel shots.
I also asked him about speculation that he didn't want to pay Vandeweghe more than the approximately $2 million he pays Avalanche GM Pierre Lacroix, who has produced two Stanley Cups. Finally, I asked him whether, in the aftermath of the Jeff Bzdelik fiasco, whether he would be willing to run the risk of repeating a mistake by not re-signing Vandeweghe before next season.
Asking was one thing. Getting answers was another. For the record, none of those issues was addressed.
Such is life when you're Stan Kroenke. Maybe he's right. Maybe if he goes public with his answers, they would be misinterpreted or misconstrued.
Then again, maybe his silence is being misinterpreted or misconstrued.

Is there a way to load a profile inside Perl?
Like in shell files:
. ~user/.profile
What specifically do you mean by "profile"?
If you mean "retrieve the values of the shell environmental variables that your shell set via .profile", then yes - you do it through a special
If you mean "read the actual variables set in .profile" like the shell itself does, it's possible but doing it "right" requires either parsing an arbitrary shell script and scrubbing anything that's not an environmental variable assignment, OR executing
If you mean "supply a generic configuration to any Perl program that runs via a separate configuration file", you need to add code to those Perl programs to read this configuration file (there are a number of CPAN modules for reading various config files).
If you mean "supply a generic configuration to any Perl program that runs without any special code in those Perl programs to read a separate configuration file, sort of like any shell script gets the stuff from .profile thanks to shell", then the asnwer is "may be". You can leverage
$u=`echo -n ~user`; open F, "<$u/.profile" || die; while(<F>) {print}
If you have bash configuration values in (or other configuration set up by) a shell script and want that to take effect only for the duration of one execution of a program, you can use a subshell:

Perhaps do a batch of thumbnails with the overall composition of the painting? Put in a general lay of the land and where the other figures are going to be, before you get to involved in the detail on one figure, because you may end up realizing his pose is not quite right in the end.

I think that most of the anatomy is pretty good. His head and neck are bothering me though. It just seems kinda unnatural and forced. maybe if you had his head looking forward a little more and his eyes looking back (if that makes sense). Also, is this the whole page for the painting? if it is, then you might have some problems trying to fit cyborgs in the background You might want to make him a little smaller so you have more room to paint in a city and cyborgs. Thats just my opinion. but it looks pretty good so far though.

GTSO Expects Purchase Agreement to Capitalize on iPhone E-waste Boom Business Wire SAN JOSE, Calif. -- September 20, 2012 As the mining subsidiary of Green Technology Solutions (OTCBB: GTSO), GTSO Resources, closes in on a purchase agreement with Global Cell Buyers, it appears as though the deal couldn't come at a better time. The impending release of Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPhone 5 is set to unleash an onslaught of mineral-rich e-waste into the marketplace. How many iPhone 5s is Apple expected to sell? JP Morgan recently predicted that the electronics giant would move enough new units to add half a percent to the U.S. GDP. That means consumers will be replacing a lot of smartphones with this hot new model—millions of them. What's more, the iPhone 5 does away with Apple's classic 30-pin connector, meaning that millions of electronic cables, attachments and accessories are now obsolete as well. GTSO has plans to help turn this trash into cash. "The EPA reports that in 2010, 2.44 million tons of electronics were discarded in the U.S. alone," said GTSO CEO Paul Watson. "That's an incredible windfall of lithium, gold, neodymium, rare earths and other valuable materials headed for the dump. Soon, we plan to send it to the bank, instead." Earlier this month, GTSO Resources signed a letter of intent to acquireGlobal Cell Buyers, an emerging U.S.-based e-waste recycling company, a move that could potentially allow GTSO to optimize recovery of pricey minerals from unwanted cell phones. The GTSO Resources is in talks with a leading e-waste recycler in Latin America, as well. "We're in the final stages of negotiation and plan to announce a completed agreement very soon," Watson said. For more information on these initiatives, please visitwww.GTSOResources.com/investors.html. Urban mining is a major pillar of GTSO's plans to compete alongside major international corporations striving for sustainable manufacturing solutions, such as Sprint Nextel Corp. (NYSE:S) and Toyota Motor Corporation (NYSE:TM). The company is also exploring traditional mining opportunities in the U.S. and Africa through its joint venture withDiamond V Associates.

The All-Purpose Haruhi Fanfiction Thread:
Since there seems to be a number of Tropers writing Haruhi fanfiction and K:BDH has its own separate thread, I wanted to start a thread about Haruhi fanfiction that isn't written by Durandall. One of my favorite new crossovers is one written by Emma Iveli called Harry, Haruhi and the Philosopher's Stone. It's at http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6670960/1/Harry_Haruhi_and_the_Philosophers_Stone http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6715287/1/The_Awakening_of_Haruhi_Suzumiya is written by a self-identified Troper and is quite interesting. I have written four Haruhi stories myself but I am not going to plug them here.

Why won't Chibi-Usa just kill the Joker?
A series of snippets in the vein of More than Fifty Four Negi and Chisame Threesomes, although with some flimsy semblance of an ongoing Excuse Plot, and my first stab at long Haruhi-centric writing.
The Multiversal Debauchery of Suzumiya Haruhi Haremette One: Kyon Looking back at it, I should have known it was obvious from the very same start. "Yamada-san? What's up with Yamada-san?" I asked, barely lifting my tired gaze from the computer. Dammit, I needed more sleep. I really did. "Haven't you heard the rumors? What world do you live at?" Haruhi spammed the words with as little pause as possible. "All the school knows it by now! That girl's looking for 100 'fuck-buddies'!" Now that made me to tense up in abrupt shock. "Say WHAT?-!" "Just imagine!" she waved her hands around. "It's all they comment on now. They all say she's gotta be crazy, naturally. She got the talk from the Dean and everything. Think about it! One hundred casual sex partners, she says!" Was Haruhi actually expressing outrage over someone else's deviations? Could it be? Might there be some hope for her yet? It was a laughable idea, of course, and yet, at that point it seemed almost likely. "Hm, well, that's a truly weird thing to announce," I tapped my fingers on the table, not finding anything better to say. "I don't doubt some creeps are going to try and take advantage of it, but..." "I can't believe it!!" Haruhi tightened a fist up. "Me neither, but not our business any wa—" "How did we miss recruiting such a person for the SOS Brigade!!" she yelled. I choked on the air I was breathing. "What, how, why?-!" "Now those are guts! And willingness to take advantage of her sex appeal! Mikuru-chan could learn a few things from her! I've always liked someone with a clear goal in life! That's the kind of visionary we need to keep around!" "We only keep her around in expulsion from this school!" I protested, slamming my hands on the table. "She's got a fully wrong aim on what should human relationships be!" Haruhi looked at me with the annoyance of a child who has had her fun spoiled for a moment, then nodded. "Ah. I understand. Yes, you're right. She's got the wrong aim." "See, I told you!" I felt reinvindicated for some flimsy, hopeful reason. "She aims too low! I can't allow her to surpass me, so I'll aim for ONE HUNDRED FIFTY FUCK BUDDIES!!" That broke my mind so much the only thing I could think about asking for the moment was, "What...? Why exactly one hundred fifty?" She shrugged. "It's like collecting Pokemon, so it makes sense to start with that number. If we succeed, we can expand to the Golden, Silver, etc., editions." I was livid. "You think screwing around like us is like collecting video game animals?" Haruhi frowned again. "Where does that 'us' come from?" "Ah?" "What moves you to think that list includes you?" "Nothing!" "Are you that desperate, to jump on any chance that comes your way?" "What?" I wanted to yell. Me, desperate! You're the one who's thinking of screwing around with 150 guys! Or guys and girls, and probably farm animals too, if I know you well enough. "No, no, wait! This is all a mistake! From the very same start!" He seemed to remember something. "Oh yes, you're right." "I am?" "Yes. I made a mistake. The first edition of Pokemon has 151 monsters, not 150." "That's not what I meant at all!" "It's okay, it's okay. You're a long time buddy, so you can be Mew if you want." "Mew?" I asked. Dammit, stop talking in weird videogame terms! And what was with that sudden use of the 'buddy' word? Do you want to butter me up so I can help you with that insane plan? Or does that 'Mew' mean something else? That night, after arriving home, I took Imouto apart from her portable console for a moment and asked her what a 'Mew' was. She gave me that 'Duh' stare. "It's the 151th Pokemon, everyone knows that..." I felt like a splotch on the wall all of a sudden. Blast it, Haruhi, don't ever use bestiality in any sort of comparation to me.

There's of course Thnikkafan's fic: The Cries Of Haruhi Suzumiya which is a Haruhi Higurashi crossover complete with some of the Nightmare Fuel of the latter, and it's still ongoing. I know that it's on the fan fic recommendations page already, but if you like crack fics then Super Star Ultra's fics Cracks in the SOS Dan and You Got HaruhiRolled are good for some laughs, and his fic A Closed Dead Space is a good horror fic. All three present multiple stories, although HR does have multichapter stories. There's also the fic I wrote The Severance of Haruhi Suzumiya which is finished. It's a fic set a little after the timeline of the novels, and it has a Kyon x Haruhi pairing, at least until the end of the first chapter, when she dumps him to look for her first love, John Smith.

Weee, necromancy! Wow, I can't believe that someone who wasn't me plugged The Cries Of Haruhi Suzumiya. Thanks, Grahf! Actually, Super Star Ultra asked me if he could use some aspects of my fanfic in his stuff, but I turned it down. (I don't like the Crack Fic that much, and regardless, it didn't seem very high-quality. That might've been the point, but that's a trope I don't like. Regardless, I said no.

@Thnikkafan: no problem, it's well deserved. Seeing this thread reminds me that everyone should read Under Review by Halbarad. It's quite well written, and deals with Haruhi figuring out the identities of her fellow club members, including that Kyon is John Smith. Oh, and for those of you that are fans of Durandall, he's one of the people doing the beta on this fic, and seems to be really enjoying it thus far.

Bumping the thread because I have finally written and posted my Bizarro Universe story. Here it is. Consensus is that it's good, but I made Kyon portray Haruhi too nastily for where he is at that point in time. Eh, live and learn.

The First and Forsaken
x3 Interesting. I was somewhat amused at how closely alternate!Haruhi mirrored Sasaki. As a fan of the novels, Kyon's animosity did indeed feel a bit off. What weirded me out more was base!Haruhi's utter indifference at meeting an alternate-universe copy of herself. Even if her assumption was that it was a coincidence of names and the other Haruhi was some random stranger, I'd expect Kyon to get points for (at the very least) 'getting someone to pretend to be her, since she kinda, sorta, a little bit even looks close,' or 'finding someone with the same exact name as her,' since it is at least a little unusual. Other than that it was entertaining. I enjoyed it; not much else to offer.

Haruhi never caught alternate!Haruhi's name. She just thought Kyon was introducing her to the new girl. Also, any similarity alternate!Haruhi has with Sakaki is entirely coincidence. I haven't even read the novels nor do I know anything about her personality. I guess "anti-Haruhi" only has a few different possible outcomes or something of the sort.

I still feel that's off, honestly. Haruhi's supposed to be sharp, and having her shake hands with and fail to make the connection with her own double just so she can be tsundere to Kyon.... Haruhi's obliviousness right there and Kyon's 'Bah, Haruhi,' attitude would be the flanderization that sarsaparilla commented on. It's not so off it prevents reading, but it's certainly a spot you could polish characterization. I also wouldn't worry about the fact that your 'reverse!Haruhi' is basically Sasaki; that's what Tanigawa was going for anyway.

Well, I liked it. I'm interested to see where you're going with this, Thnikkafan. I'd really suggest reading the post-Disappearance light novels, though. That'll help you fine-tune your characterization.

Only Rainy Day — the Sasaki-centered side-story. But that's actually something that happens in middle school, so if you're not using her character, you can probably disregard that.

A bit of a necro, but I might as well pimp my own story a little. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7583784/1/The_Turn_of_Haruhi_Suzumiya A Haruhi/Umineko no Naku Koro Ni crossover. Although I had the idea before I read Cries, reading it gave me the inspiration to actually write this. "For the second summer vacation trip, the SOS Brigade visits the island of Rokkenjima. Instead of a simple vacation on a deserted island, Kyon and Haruhi find themselves pulled into a long abandoned game board. Knowing the tragic fate about to befall the island, they must race to solve the mystery - and their own lives." There's 4 chapters right now, and I'd say that's maybe 2/3rds of the way through (This part) of the story. Right now it resembles the first Umineko novel more than any of the other ones, so no Metaworld shenanigans until later. If anyone is willing to give some constructive criticism, I'd greatly appreciate it. Being objective about my own work is a little hard, and I just can't help but feel like I'm missing something, Thanks.
Without love, it cannot be seen. [1]

This is a well rounded list of at UGO.com as they attempt the near impossible which is to identify the hottest women of scifi. They have everyone from T'Pol of Enterprise to Colonel Wilma Deering from Buck Rodgers in the 25th Century to Yori of Tron.
After you've gone through that list, check out my own work in progress this year called "The Women Of Sci-Fi And Their Provocative Poses", so far we have:
- Gillian Anderson (Agent Dana Scully)
- Amanda Tapping (Col. Samantha Carter)
- Jeri Lynn Ryan (Seven of Nine)
2 Responses to "Top 50 Hottest SciFi Girls"
You missed Rebecca Romijn in X-Men! Never seen less costume and more hot, blue girl *g*
Sci Fi women are the beesssttt because mostly they are all bad ass. You should check this out http://www.fantasywomenbattles.com/, basically hot chicks kicking each others ass and you get to vote for who wins.

Tomb Raider's demo made me realize something: it'd be a stretch to call what we do in games killing. I mean, yeah, we're probably the only medium that can (and frequently does) tout multiple physics systems specifically capable of calculating the way bullet-perforated brain bits dance majestically through the air. But really, all we're doing is knocking down hyper-detailed action figures. We pull the trigger or aim the bow or bury the shank in a fertile bed of neckflesh, and they go down. Then we move on to the next faceless thug, rinse our knives, and repeat.
The Tomb Raider scene I sat in on during E3 really struck me because it didn't let Lara cut people (or animals) down and then continue gleefully on her way. Death is messy and scary and awful. While the Nathan Drakes and Persian Princes of the world slay 300 people and then sweep corpses under a rug with a dumb joke, Lara – intentionally or not – sticks around for her victims' final moments. I guess what I'm saying is, I sympathized with an irredeemable, cold-blooded murderer and, er, some random deer. They died scared and spittle-soaked and alone, and I really didn't feel good about that.

Another law signed by Bill Clinton comes back to bite the Dems?
**Written by Doug Powers
Recently, Democrats were celebrating the overturning of the Defense of Marriage Act that was enacted in 1996. Bill Clinton congratulated himself for helping lead the recent fight to overturn the law that some guy named Bill Clinton signed.
Fast forward to this morning when the Supreme Court sided with Hobby Lobby. The majority ruled that Hobby Lobby fell under the umbrella of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Who signed that bill? Bill! The RFRA was sponsored in the U.S. Senate by some right-wing Republican named Chuck Schumer.
Today could mark the beginning of 21st century Bill Clinton's latest battle to undo the damage caused by 20th century Bill Clinton before Hillary kicks off a possible 2016 bid. Back to the future!
Hillary Clinton is troubled because the Democrats stepped into another trap her husband set over 20 years ago:
Hard-working women will pay the price for today's two troubling #SCOTUS decisions — in wages, health care & dignity.
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) June 30, 2014
Update II:
I totally forgot about Clinton's "don't ask don't tell" reversal. Add that to the list.

Hehe, thanks. it was improvised so it's obviously pointless. But it was fun trying it out.
but If i'm already at it, here's another Test I did not too long ago. pure technical, and very short. just wanted to try building a scenery for one of my characters and see how it works with some animation.
I used ToonBoom Solo V. 1.1 and hand drawn the animation with a Wacom Tablet. I think I like the overall outcome...check it out too if you're interested.
