Thank God that the majority of Amricans were intelligent enough to elect the scholarly Nobel Peace Prize recipient Barack Obama as the president of this great country. Mc Cain was basically no different than Bush and everyone knows that this country was so close to going into the deepest depression that anyone could have ever imagined. I just hope and pray that God continues to protect the 99% of Americans and opens the eyes of those Americans that want to struggle to provide for their family and enjoy life simply to protect the interest of the 1%. And to those who told me that they would vote for anyone except a black man, I pray for all of you to get over your bigotry and recognize that genious comes in all colors. Scholastically, Obama is the highest achiever of any president that this country or any country has ever had!!!

And how are those democrats working out for you Karin? The only good thing that came out of Obama winning the election is that now the democrats and some of the republicans have finally shown their true colors and now the American people are waking up. And one more thing; how are republicans the Nazis? The nazis were for bog government and a nannystate which is what the democrats are calling for. Also the Nazis hated religion. Isn't it the democrats who are making fun of us practicing Christians?

I think honestly that John McCain is too pro-Israel. People should ask this question: Are you going to lead us to a war against Iran? because it seems that's "his" goal (read between lines :that's the will of the Jewish Lobby behind McCain). I don't like Obama nor Clinton neither. No candidate is a good candidate for us, catholics...

George-We have been getting lip service from politicians on abortion for 30 some years. Expecting results from them should be the new definition for insanity.A new approach is needed. But hey, who wants to lay down the remote,the cell.or the mouse,or break open that checkbook. We're fat and happy and deserve what we get.

March 8th, 2008 - George-166509 said:
Blake, it is true that an incremental approach to making abortion illegal is better than no approach at all, and it also true that politics is the art of the possible, but what I fear is that McClain doesn't give a hoot about unborn children, that he talks the prolife talk because he knows that no Republican can get nominated for President without doing so. What I fear is that he will forget his promises and appoint people like Ginsburg and Breyer to the courts, like the first George Bush. Actually, I hope you'll convince me otherwise, because I really don't want to vote for Obama or Clinton.
March 7th, 2008 - George-166509 said:
We have a true Hobson's choice here---the baby killer Obama versus the war-mongerer McClain. I'm tempted to reason this way--McClain, like all "moderate" Republicans will probably do nothing to stop abortion except give the pro-life movement lip service, whereas Obama really will end our murderous immoral invasion of Iraq. However, we need to keep in mind that although Republican presidents in the recent past have done very little to stop the abortion plague, they have at least done one thing--they have (sometimes) tended to appoint more prolife-leaning judges to the federal courts. So I'm still undecided. If it turns out to be Hillary vs. McClain, I guess I'll have to vote for McClain. Hillary voted in favor of this Naziesque invasion.

Ron Paul is a libertarian whose foreign policy is an unrealistic as Obamas and goes back to pre-WWI Wilsonian politics which eventually shipwrecked on the rocks of reality when the US was finally forced into WWI. Paul may have a tough enough time today holding onto his TX District 14 congressional seat as conservative Republican Chris Peden is giving him a serious challenge.
March 3rd, 2008 - Robert-3483 said:
If looking for a pro-lifer, why isn't Doctor Ron Paul, who has delivered some thousand babies in his lifetime, even mentioned? Even his name sounds like John Paul. Catholics should be used to looking outside secular media sources for information, but the lack of exposure for Ron Paul even among catholics is a bit daunting. I guess I should post about it in the forums.

Matthew...167529 As for your entire post LOL.As someone who would never vote for Obama, Clinton or any other Pro-Death candidate,I must nevertheless make the following observation about your opening remark about Obama..."It takes one to know one".
March 3rd, 2008 - Dave-319619 said:
Matthew's comment above is right on the mark. The presidency and the executive and judicial branches must be reigned in by following and adhering to the Constitution. Congress (who only has the right to declare war) hasn't declared since WWII. The next terrorist attack (it will come)will be caused by lax immigration policies, and will be used as a pretext to curtail even more of our freedoms. Those working for the downfall of America will not have to work very hard. We will do it ourselves...

March 1st, 2008 - Paul-183066 said:
Mike, this poll of yours is a good representative sample and the breakdown is typical of the Catholic vote for the last couple of elections. W received 65-67% of the Catholic vote in 2000 & 2004 which was crucial to his victories.

Not a single Ron Paul supporter? It's ironic that soldiers who defend the constitution with their lives support Ron Paul more than all the other candidates combined -- the only candidate who even mentions the constitution.

The next president will appoint at least 1 if not 2 supreme court justices. Obama will only nominate ACLU lawyers and that would diminish the opportunity of overturning the abomination known as abortion.

Web container and EJB High availability demo
This demo is aimed show casing the high availability features in GlassFish 3.1 open source edition. The demo will show full http session replication as well as transaction check pointing in EJBs. For purpose of this demo the following script will create a 3 instance cluster on the same node.
- Mahesh Kannan
- Rajiv Mordani
- Joe Fialli
Cluster creation
The following shell script can be used to create the cluster or the cluster can be created via the Admin Console as is demoed in this milestone (MS3). You must set GF_HOME environment variable before invoking the script below.
Once you have the cluster setup - deploy the attached application to the cluster with the availabilityenabled parameter set to true as shown below.
The application SFSBDriver is what shows the HA features in MS3. To start the demo - point your browser to
http://localhost:18080/SFSBDriver/SFSBDriverServlet (we are pointing to instance 1 but you could use any instance. Also replace localhost appropriately)
The application puts the following attributes in the HTTP session -
an Integer value
a String
and two stateful session bean references.
When the application is loaded on the browser hit refresh a few times and you will see that the counter is incremented.
Now shutdown the instance on which you were loading the page, in our case instance 1 as follows -
Get the session id for the cookie from the browser (on firefox right click on the page and select Page Info and you will get the session id).
Now redirect the browser to go to instance 3 - passing it the JSESSIONID=<session id> in the url.
So the url will be
You will observe that the counter increment continues from where you left off on instance1. The session data is replicated to inst3 and the state is preserved.
The [^SFSBDriver.war] is attached (sources will also be put up shortly). Click on Tools on the top right corner of this page to get to the attachments.

Hi Alexis,
If you use the same browser instance then you don't need to explicitly pass the JSESSIONID.

Principal Investigator: Dr. Jeffrey Bennett
Project Title: Second-Generation Aquaporumabs and NMO Superantibodies for NMO Research and Therapy
The generation of recombinant monoclonal antibodies (rAb) against aquaporin-4 has provided major new opportunities in NMO research and therapeutics. As NMO-rAbs are monoclonal and pure, they have afforded the ability to study NMO pathogenesis mechanisms in the absence of confounding serum factors in order to: (i) measure antibody targeting and pharmacokinetics in animal models; (ii) identify binding epitopes on AQP4; (iii) screen for small-molecule blockers; and (iv) develop aquaporumab blocking antibodies.
The NMO-rAbs generated to date are derived from sequencing clonally expanded plasma blasts in CSF of NMO patients. NMO-rAbs are fully human antibodies. The two NMO-rAbs with highest affinity for binding to AQP4 have dissociation constants of ~15 and 40 nM. Mutations of the Fc region of the antibody have generated antibodies with greatly reduced, though non-zero, CDC and/or ADCC effector functions. The intended use of these 'aquaporumabs' is for NMO therapy. Other mutations of the Fc region have generated antibodies with increased (by >10-fold) CDC or ADCC effector function. The intended use of these 'NMO superantibodies' is to generate animal models of NMO, which are badly needed to study NMO pathogenesis mechanisms and to develop new therapies.
The major goal of this research is to carry out screening/mutagenesis to produce second-generation aquaporumabs and NMO superantibodies. It has become evident that improvements in the AQP4 binding portion (Fab) and effector function (Fc) region of NMO-rAbs is needed. For aquaporumab therapy, an optimal antibody should have AQP4 binding dissociation constant ~ 0.1-0.5 nM and zero residual effector function. Very tight AQP4 binding affinity is also desired for generation of animal models with NMO superantibodies, as is greatly enhanced (>25-fold) effector function. It is anticipated that, with additional screening / affinity maturation / mutagenesis, NMO-rAbs with the target properties can be generated.

How to Get Along With Siblings
Sibling rivalry is very common in families. Statistics show that we spend over thirty percent of our time with our siblings, and during that time, you will not want to be constantly calling each other names, wrestling, or plotting revenge. Do you and your brothers and sisters get in fights a lot? Do you ever keep trying to tell yourself that you won't let yourself get in a fight, but you wind up doing so? This article will show you how to develop a better relationship with your siblings.
1Offer a compliment and a gentle smile every day. Don't go overboard, telling him/her how much you adore their shirt, or saying you like everything single thing about them. Also, don't give them a very fake or really cheesy smile. Instead, tell them they simply look good today, or you like their shoes. By complimenting them, and letting them know that you like something about them, they will be in a better mood and appreciate you a little more.Ad
2Be on their good side. Don't purposely say something rude to put them in a bad mood for the rest of the day. When they are telling you about school, or a joke, or something they saw on the way home, listen and look interested, even if you're not. Never say, "I'm busy," or "This is boring" or worst of all, "SHUT UP!" Help them out as well. With simple chores or homework or a favor, help them with whatever they need, because you are their sibling and they need and love you.
- Do them favors and let them borrow things if they need them. Remember that all the things you do for them will add up, and soon they will owe you a favor or two.
3Get together and have fun. Once a week maybe, go do something like go bowling, watch your favorite TV show together, or play a good long game of Monopoly. Do some sibling bonding time. Remember to do what they want to do, not you, but do make sure that it's something that you wouldn't die of boredom with. Let them decide, and go treat them to what it is.
4Don't make them angry. It's as simple as that. Give in to their dumb statements. Realize what is something small and what is something big. If it is something small, like a pencil, give in. If it is something big, like them asking if they can have your computer, think about it. Tell them they can borrow it, or instead, offer a way they can save up to buy their own computer. They are never going to like you or want to hang out with you if you are always driving them crazy.
5Don't argue. Turn the other cheek on your siblings. If they call you a name, don't call them that back. Tell them you didn't understand that they were upset, and ask what you can do to fix it. Don't scream at them, either, but you can tell a parent if it gets out of hand. Think about if it's really worth arguing about, and then activate it.
6Remember not to be too nice! Don't let your brothers or sisters take advantage and order you around all the time, but don't be the boss of them either. Be kind yet firm. Be stubborn only in applicable situations, but very generous in situations just applicable too. There should be a balance between sibling and friend.
7Don't give up! Some relations between siblings just don't work out, and there is just constant rivalry, but most of the time this can be fixed. Keep being kind and helpful, and make sure they know you love them.Ad
We could really use your help!
Acne Treatments?
Youth Dating?
- Remember their birthdays, and get them little presents on those dates.
- Ask them for their advice on things, and give them proper advice, as well. They will know that their opinion is valued, and will have good advice from the person who knows best.
- Arguments will happen once in a while. Let them go and move on, or go up to them and be friends again.
- Applaud them for their achievements, even if you think they are dumb, or are even jealous.
- Do not get involved in their relationship life. K-I-S-S-I-N-G is getting old.
- Go to things they want to show off. Whether they have a performance or soccer game they practiced for, go and cheer them on, even if they lose or mess up.
- Always be their shoulder nearby to cry on.
- Buying things like ice cream,burger or cake shows you care about them,it can be once in a while,when they are ill or anytime..Just make sure you care,this will show that you remember them always.
- Calling them frequently often brings good relationship with your siblings( when they are distant from you or when you feel like you have missed them-Expression matters).Remember they are your friends and blood and you cant forever have them,one day they will either get married or travel.So get the most out of your friendships from today.
- Maybe buy them some lunch every now and then, it'll help your relationship.
- Consult your parents if there is serious trouble between you.

Originally written on MLB Buzz | Last updated 7/25/12
Alfonso Soriano is doing what he can to boost his trade value. But it's far from certain that he will be dealt before Tuesday's non-waiver deadline. Soriano, 36, entered Wednesday with a robust .918 OPS and 19 home runs in 70 games since May 1, thus positioning himself as one of the top right-handed outfield bats on the market. It's unclear if other desirable right-handed outfielders – Philadelphia's Hunter Pence and Minnesota's Josh Willingham – will be moved at all. With Soriano, the issue is – and has been – money. He has roughly $6 million left on this year's contract, followed by $18 million in each of the next two seasons. The Cubs likely would need to include a substantial amount of money to facilitate a trade. On top of that, Soriano has a full no-trade clause. On the field, though, it's been hard to ask for much more. Soriano is on pace for his best offensive season since 2008, while playing "at least average – and maybe even above average" defense in left field, according to one scout. The Dodgers, Giants, Rangers, Indians and Pirates are among the teams that could benefit from Soriano's power. But Soriano's hefty contract would be a major complication in virtually every case. -- Jon Paul Morosi

He wrote to thank me for the post about "meeting a hero." He said he needed to hear about the heroism of small things.
He is in a bad space right now. He told me he had discovered that depression was not an attitude, or an emotion. He said it was the place he lived. He told me he had a good friend who was trying to get him to "cheer up." He said it was like telling a fish not to get wet. He didnt know what to say to his friend. "I love her dearly. But she thinks depression is just being very sad….How do you explain?"
For him life was about putting one foot in front of another. Not much felt good. Not much felt important. Sometimes not much felt at all. "One foot in front of another…." — that was the wisest thing he knew. He was, I think, a wise man.
Sometimes the greatest wisdom is that there is no great wisdom. Things simply are. And persistence and endurance are really triumphs of the spirit. You only leave the desert by walking through…. and sometimes the walk is long.
I have been in his place. I have been where life is a tsunami and a finger in the dike seemed so small and ineffectual. But there is a heroism in small things. There is a heroism in keeping going. There is a heroism in putting one foot in front of the other.
Maybe you are a hero and never known it. Maybe you know someone who needs to know he is a hero.
I hope tomorrow blesses you. But maybe if you simply put one foot in front of the other you will bless tomorrow

Live Twitter Chat With MALIBU COUNTRY's Lily Tomlin Set for Today
Fans of ABC's new comedy MALIBU COUNTRY will be able to submit questions and receive real-time responses from actress/comedienne Lily Tomlin, who will be up on Twitter at @LilyTomlin, during the West Coast broadcast of the show TONIGHT, DECEMBER 7 from 8:30-9:00 p.m., PT. Tomlin will also offer commentary and behind-the-scenes anecdotes about working on the show.
On Friday's episode, "Bro Code," Reba's attempts to gather intel on ex-husband Bobby's partying past life from his ex-bandmate, Pete (guest star Steven Weber), are foiled by his "bro code." But when Lillie Mae offers him some of her homemade beer, all bets are off. Meanwhile, Cash is grounded for sneaking out in the middle of the night to help his sister.
"Malibu Country" stars Reba as Reba, Lily Tomlin as Lillie Mae, Sara Rue as Kim, Justin Prentice as Cash, Juliette Angelo as June and Jai Rodriguez as Geoffrey.

Phasing and flanging effects are most commonly achieved using either rack mounted effects units, stomp boxes or digital plug-ins.
But the original phasing technique was done by tape manipulation and required no equipment other than the tape recorders that were standard in the studios of the day.
These days, tape recorders are a rarity. So is it still possible to produce phasing effects without special equipment? The answer is yes...
The Doppler phasing technique requires no equipment other than a source of sound - a guitar combo amp is handy - and a microphone. It's easier if the microphone is mounted on the boom section of a mic stand, without the floor part, so you can easily hand hold it.
Christian Andreas Doppler is the scientist we have to thank for discovering that if a sound source moves, then when it moves towards the listener its pitch is apparently raised. When it moves away its pitch is lowered. The same applies if it is the listener who is moving.
Here, we are going to play the signal to be phased through the amp, and move the microphone backwards and forwards in front of the speaker. It also works if you move the mic in circles, or even random patterns.
As the mic approaches the speaker, the pitch of the signal is raised, as it moves away the pitch is lowered.
But this isn't phasing - it is just a cyclic pitch change that will be heard as vibrato.
Now consider the reflections of sound in the room, particularly from the wall opposite the amp. As the mic moves towards the amp, it moves away from the reflecting wall. So as the pitch of the direct sound rises, the pitch of the reflection falls.
This gives an amazingly rich and vibrant sound - very different to what you get with effects units, particularly digital effects. And don't forget that there will be many reflections, all treated slightly differently, adding to the richness.
For stereo, two people can move two mics independently.
In the 1960s, recording used to be all about creativity. Now it seems to be a matter of selecting a preset. But with Doppler phasing, you'll get a sound that no preset can match.
Earlier discussion on this topic...
Back in my teenage years before the golden age of stomp boxes and FX racks we used to record acoustic guitars on to our sound-on-sound reel to reel by swinging the microphones over the guitars in circular patterns....like double dutch jump rope. It was akin to a leslie effect, chorusing and flanging all at once. Thanks for reminding me, I think I'll try it again.....though I think I had better practice my double dutch technique before I commit my Neumans to the air.

record producer.com has helped me to increase my skills through audio masterclass
Wednesday March 16, 2011
I remember my experiments at the age of 12. I had only a mono tape recorder and my fantasy. Later I used two stereo decks as a looping machine and made some effects for guitar (a spring reverb with a stereo piezo pickup, a fuzz with filters, modified wah pedal and later even an Univibe clone). It was the best time of my life with sound recording, very inspirational and much more funny than now!

Product description
Japanese pubs, called izakaya, are attracting growing attention in Japan and overseas. As a matter of fact, a recent article in The New York Times claimed that the izakaya is starting to shove the sushi bar off its pedestal. While Japan has many guidebooks and cookbooks, this is the first publication in English to delve into every aspect of a unique and vital cornerstone of Japanese food culture. A venue for socializing and an increasingly innovative culinary influence, the izakaya serves mouth-watering and inexpensive small-plate cooking, along with free-flowing drinks. Readers of this essential book will be guided through the different styles of establishments and recipes that make izakaya such relaxing and appealing destinations. At the same time, they will learn to cook many delicious standards and specialties, and discover how to design a meal as the evening progresses. Eight Tokyo pubs are introduced, ranging from those that serve the traditional Japanese comfort foods such as yakitori (barbequed chicken), to those offering highly innovative creations. Some of them have long histories; some are more recent players on the scene. All are quite familiar to the author, who has chosen them for the variety they represent: from the most venerated downtown pub to the new-style standing bar with French-influenced menu. Mark Robinson includes knowledgeable text on the social and cultural etiquette of visiting izakaya, so the book can used as a guide to entering the potentially daunting world of the pub. Besides the 60 detailed recipes, he also offers descriptions of Japanese ingredients and spices, a guide to the wide varieties of sake and other alcoholic drinks that are served, how-to advice on menu ordering, and much more. For the home chef, the hungry gourmet, the food professional, this is more than a cookbook. It is a unique peek at an important and exciting dining and cultural phenomenon.

If you're only leveling, rear shocks shouldn't be a concern....
Like I said, I haven't had any problems with CV shaft vibration or anything like that. I know some people have, but it isn't very common. Yes, it might be a little bit harder on the front suspension (very minimal), but it's worth it for how much better your truck will look.
I recommend getting the Bilstein 5100 adjustable front struts. Definitely the way to go! Provides you with different height options and gives you better struts than stock. Plus you can always use them if you decide to lift the truck later on down the road to gain even more lift.
Hi. Type to u from Russia. People who did a lift(2-2.5) all have a problem with 4wd(auto). All heve a vibration. I did RC suspension lift 2.5 then changed it on bilstein 5100 with lift 2.1. All the same.( vibration)
What shall i do? Help

Noir-ish Noh
Hi all:
Currently testing out some stuff for a small project. As yet, nowhere near the vicinity of even thinking about finals. Just trying out some ideas.
Trying to work out a more ukiyo-e print style for the project.
Comments warmly encouraged. :)
Thanks for peeking in!

Hi there,
those look great! I especially like the first one, to be more precise the samurai in the foreground which is the most dynamic!
The last one are shrunken heads, aren't they? I've read that the samurai used to cut off the heads of defeated (killed) enemies, dressed the hair and customized them and then fasten 'em to their armor.
The look of these pics is pretty cool, too!
Keep em coming!!!!
February 23rd, 2005 #3
Excellent!!! I love your loose sketchy style. More!!
February 23rd, 2005 #4
Oh, I almost forgot: the look of the first one reminds me of these old samurai movies, you know. I don't know who was the director but there's a little reference to his films in "The Bodyguard" (K.Costner/W.Houston). Your samurais look kinda like from those b&w movies where there were arms and limbs cut off and blood just spilling all over the place. Tarantino made movies lately where he referenced to this style by making this homage called "Kill Bill"
February 23rd, 2005 #5
I like the second one the most i think, very subtle and elegant.. captures the mood nicely. I also like the little hints of color you throw into your pieces.

Thanks for chiming in folks!
KampfHase: I'm afraid I didn't do a good job with those heads since I originally wanted them to look more like noh threatre masks but it seems I've rendered them more like flesh! Ah well. This is still a "playing around" stage though.
advedjian: Thanks! Glad you are liking it. I do enjoy working loose.
Soultek: Thanks for pointing that out! I am not sure yet how much if any of all the loose zen-ness will find it's way to my finals. And, sadly, the color might go too since it's originally supposed to be a black and white deal.
Oh and, KampfHase: You're probably talking about Seven Samurai by the japanese director Akira Kurosawa. He's a big favorite of mine, and Seven Samurai is in my humble opinion one of the best films ever made. I hoping I could bring some feel of it to this project.
Here's another sketch. It's starting to look closer to the ukiyo-e feel I'm aiming for:
Thanks again, all. You're input is invaluable!

This one not so good. Still trying to focus:
I think I'm finally seeing a wee bit of the light at the end of the tunnel with this one:

wow these are great quick sketches
always a fan of asian theme's
the spike heads looks unproportional, the middle head and top right head are funny but you probly went for that look
other than that i love em all

New homeowner, 1-mini dachshund named LuAnna. I love to cook, but cooking for 1 is (blank). Thank you for shopping please come again;)
Hi ladies, I go by J.P. (John Paul) I'm looking for someone fun and down to earth. Laughing is a plus. Must enjoy the great outdoors. This is a drama free zone, so if you are selling any of that? Also, a willingness to try new things is super cool. I grew up here in the cities. I studied business in North Carolina. Playing golf competitively along the way. I'm currently employed in sales and finally have time away from work to pursue a meaningful relationship. Time is short and money will come and go. I look forward to enjoying the simple things in life with you. Hopefully you want to learn more. Drop me a line.

Golf, Hockey, Other types of exercise, Tennis / Racquet sports, Yoga
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I have Dogs
Lulu is my mini dachshund. She is a bit of a diva... not sure what happened there? She is really sweet, my best friend, and my protector (she likes to think her 8lb frame is intimidating).
Middle of the Road
Gull Lake, Nisswa, MN. Excel Energy Center. Uptown. MN Zoo. Fishing boat or speed boat.
I find new favorites everyday. I willingness to keep an open mind and trying new things out of my comfort zone is what I do. Learning can last a life time if you let it.
Where do I start.. Karate in the garage? I am willing to try anything once. Although my athletic prowess is in a down ward spiral as I grow older my competitive sprit is alive and well. Summers weekends are spent at the cabin. Anything outdoors!

Chickpea Patties
|1⁄2 Pound
|Ham stock
|2 1⁄2 Cup (40 tbs)
|2 Tablespoon
|Chopped parsley
|2 Tablespoon
|To Taste
|Black pepper
|To Taste
|1 Large
|Bacon fat/Drippings
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
1) In a bow of water, soak the dried chickpeas for about 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
2) Drain the chickpeas and in a saucepan, put them along with the stock. Bring the mixture to a boil, cover the pan with a lid, and gently cook over low heat for about 2 hours or till the chickpeas are tender. In case the chickpeas are too hard, the cooking time can stretch for up-to 5 hours.
3) Drain the chickpeas and make a coarse puree out of them in a blender or a food mill.
4) Peel the onion and finely chop it.
5) Melt the butter over low heat and sauté the onion for about 5 minutes.
6) Into the chickpea puree, blend the cooked onion, along with the finely chopped parsley.
7) Season with salt and pepper to taste and use a beaten egg to bind the puree.
8) On a flat plate, spread the mixture and then divide it into 8 equal parts.
9) Use floured hands to roll out each part into a ball. Flatten the ball into a round patty shape.
10) Chill the patties till they have set. This usually takes 30 minutes.
11) In a heavy-bottomed pan placed over moderate heat, put the fat and heat it. Saute the patties till they have turned golden brown on both the sides. Turn once to allow even cooking.
12) On paper towels, drain the patties.
13) Serve hot.

29 year old man | Seal Beach, CA, USA | Seeking women 21-32 within 25 miles
I have no idea what to say here; so: Stop by and say hello, haha.
What can I say; I'm a laid back, go with the flow kind of person. I love making people laugh (sometimes not that easy of a feat, but I try anyways). I value my friends and family very much. I try and find the fun things in life. I love having fun and doing things with friends (like snowboarding, surfing, camping, etc) but staying in and watching a movie or playing board games is always a blast (got to love the game of Life, anyone? haha). I love traveling but with a job, it's hard to find time to do so (Although I do fly back to Ohio every Christmas to spend it with my family). I try not to take every little thing too seriously; but I have my moments of seriousness when it calls for it. Communication is key with me. Trust and communication can go a long way in my eyes. What I'm looking for is a woman that loves to laugh and be active. I'm also looking for someone that is outgoing , laid back, and overall chilled person. Sarcasm is almost a must, haha. And smart....smarter than me the better...but don't get cocky...haha. A woman with an open mind and down to try new things would also be a plus.
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing cards , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Cycling, Football, Martial arts, Other types of exercise, Running, Swimming, Tennis / Racquet sports, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Birds, Cats, Dogs, Fish

I like the beach, and on the water, its very calming. I love Vegas (gotta love Fat Tuesdays). I love going back home to Ohio. Place I would like to visit someday would be Australia, and traveling Europe. Just got back from Brazil and loved it.

I love sushi. I heart Tacos (mmmm tacos), and basically anything in between. I love the shows Family Guy, Lost, Modern Family, and Weeds. Music-wise, i'll listen to anything with a good beat. Currently into Black Keys-ish music.
Snowboarding, camping, wakeboarding, surfing and sailing (even though I'm not that good at it). Reading, yoga, and working on electronics are also ways I like to pass the time.
1984, exellent book if your into sci-fi. If not, well; I'll have to get back to you on that recommendation, haha.

I don't consider myself by any means to be barbie, perfect or superficial but let's get real here.. I am open minded and I know pictures and a quirky profile doesn't depict everything there is to know about someone.. Let's face it, we are all on here in hopes to meet someone that we can possibly be compatible with and if anything else meeting new people, making new friends doesn't hurt either.. It doesn't seem to get any easier meeting people especially when your not into meeting someone at the bar.. I'm an open book and if there is anything you'd like to know just ask :)

Nicotine is natural material found in everybody's nervous system as well as the body creates it always but, when you begin smoking, the body ceases depend on getting this substance from the outer source, smokes and forming it. To put it differently, began getting the cigarette from the batch and you quit getting nicotine from it. At any certain time you cease utilizing the mountains, you are going to feel the carving just like you cease yesterday to smoke a cigarette.
Attempt stopping smoking and beginning exercising so that you can locate something to keep you active from thinking about some other types of tobacco or smokes. It's very vital that you give to physical exercises to be able to forget about your smokes.
Among the best quit smoking goods in the marketplace is the self hypnosis tapes. The best thing about such products is they give you the approach to convince your body which you don't want a smoke. Using such goods together with exercise is an excellent idea since physical allow you to stop smoking without using another outside source of nicotine.

Chiefs v Highlanders - Live
Full time CHIEFS 19-23 HIGHLANDERS
80 Robinson spots a gap and takes them to the half-way line. After another couple of darts, the Chiefs get a penalty and they take it quickly. The siren goes, but the Chiefs are still in possession. The Highlanders are too good in defence though and they win a penalty for not releasing. THAT IS THAT! They put the ball out and win the game. Brilliant comeback from the Highlanders.
79 The Chiefs secure the line-out ball, but the Highlanders' defence is once again SOLID AS A ROCK and they push the Chiefs over the touchline. Sloppy stuff from the Highlanders and there's a knock-on in the line-out. Big chance for the Chiefs as it is uncontested scrums. They swing it wide, but there's a poor pass and the Highlanders can put on some extra pressure. They are going backwards. The Highlanders have somehow managed to turn it over and they drive them back into their own half. The Chiefs still have possession though.
77 The Chiefs drive through, but the ball pops out to Gear. Mistake from the Highlanders though as they seal it off and it's a penalty to the Chiefs. Cruden sets up the line-out just inside the 22.
76 The Chiefs take it up, but the ball goes out in the farside and the Highlanders can reset again with a line-out. No surprises as Thomson takes line-out throw number 11. They have no interest in speeding up the game here.
74 Another line-out win for Thomson and the forawrds take it up strongly. He reallly has had a storming game. He is again involved, but there is a knock-on. The Highlanders have a man down, looks like Noakes. He is being helped off the field and on comes Limo Sopoaga. It will be uncontested scrums as replacement Toby Smith is forced off the field as well.
72 Thomson takes his ninth line-out, this time on the half-way line, and the Highlanders can build again. Slow build-up this time. Crosswell gets isolated and the Chiefs get a turnover, but Kahui undoes the hard work as he puts the ball out on the full.
70 The Chiefs take the throw quickly and Tikoirotuma gains a few metres. After they look to take it up, Taumalolo gets punished after a great tackle from Rutledge and the Highlanders can breathe out again.
69 The Chiefs get a penalty from the restart, but instead of going for the three points, they set up a line-out. They get another penalty and again they go for the line-out. Cruden puts it out five metres away from the line. What can they do here? The Highlanders don't contest as they look to defend. They hold it up. Brilliant, brilliant defence as they manage to turn it around. Noakes clears.
68 CONVERSION, HIGHLANDERS, NOAKES - 19-23. Noakes makes it a four-point game with the conversion.
66 TRY, HIGHLANDERS, BURLEIGH 19-21 - Well, well, well. Big turnaround in this game. The Highlanders get possession from the scrum, but they put in the high kick. The Chiefs gather the ball, but they are in awful mess. They look to clear, but his kick is charged down. The ball is sent to Burley and he has an easy run in.
64 Loose ball in the middle and there is some nice interpassing. The ball finally goes wide to Sonny Bill Williams. The crowd gets excited, but there was a foward pass earlier.
63 CONVERSION, HIGHLANDERS, NOAKES - 19-16 - It's a three-point game as Noakes puts over the two-pointer.
62 TRY, HIGHLANDERS, SMITH - 19-14 - Brilliant and well deserved try from the visitors. Thomson straightens the line and he pops it to Popoali'i. Popoali'i in turn throws a brilliant off load to Smith and he makes a few metres before stretching for the line. The Highlanders are back in this.
61 The Highlanders make a meal of the line-out and the Chiefs can start again. They decide to go for an up and under and the Highlanders come away with the ball. Thomson is driven back, but they can set it up again.
59 This could be a chance for the Highlanders as the Chiefs have really been disrupted with those injuries. The visitors take it wide and Thomson is on the wing. He looks to stretch for the line, but is bundled over the line. The Chiefs win the line-out and they can clear.
Injuries The Chiefs are all over the place here. Masaga and Leonard both look they have picked up serious injuries are are going off. Masaga's injury looks nasty. He twisted his knee there. Hopefully it is not too serious.
57 After a few phases, Cruden finally puts the boot in but Thomson waits for it and here come the HIghlanders again. Ellison gains a few metres. There's a little grubber and Popoali'i gathers, but the Chiefs drop back and they clear.
55 Lee carries it up after the line-out. Cruden gets clever with a chip, but the Highlanders gather and they can set it up again. Smith is in the backline and he takes it close to the 22 again. The Chiefs' defence has been tight though. Yeah, it was always going to happen as the Chiefs turn it over. Elliot carries it strongly forward.
53 After Cruden clears into touch, Thomson takes the line-out for the Highlanders and they can build again. Smith, on for Cowan, looks to take it up, but he knocks it on. The Chiefs lose possession from the scrum and Ellison makes a few metres from the Highlanders. Ellison is again involved on the far side, but he is smashed into touch.
51 PENALTY, CHIEFS, CRUDEN - 19-9 - It's a 10 point game as Cruden makes it five from five with a tidy kick from the right.
50 Smith clears into the Chiefs' half following the line-out, but that's giving possession back to the opponents. Lee, Elliot and company charge forward. They win the penalty after the Highlanders seal the ball off.
48 The scrum is a bit messy for the Highlanders and the Chiefs' forwards are all over them, but they get relief after the players go over their feet. They can clear their lines here.
47 Scrum to the Chiefs inside the 22. They go to the open side, but they leave the ball behind. The Chiefs somehow manage to regain possession, but Messam drops it and the Highlanders get the scrum this time.
45 The kick is out on the Highlanders' 10m line. Clean ball in the line-out and the Chiefs barge forward. The forwards are getting momentum. Just about every player is going over the advantage line. Leonard finally swings it wide. It's a big messy and the Chiefs are lucky that the Highlanders knocked it on.
42 The Highlanders finally swing it wide and Gear makes a few metres before it goes back through the middle. They've made it past the Chiefs' 10m line, but just as they start to look solid, they run into trouble. Sonny Bill Williams is there to win the turn-over. They don't release and it's a penalty to the Chiefs.
40 Oh dear! The Highlanders knock it on from the kick-off and the Chiefs can get on the front foot with a scrum just inside their opponents' half. Massive push from the visitors and they get the turnover. Mackintosh got a massive hit in there. The Higlanders keep possession and they take it through the middle
Second half We are off again as Cruden starts the second half.
Half time CHIEFS 16-9 HIGHLANDERS
40 Masaga scored the solitary try in the first-half to help the Chiefs to open a seven-point gap. Cruden, meanwhile, has kicked four from four. The hosts are looking good. Join us again in a bit for the second half.
40 Final scrum of the half coming up and the Highlanders will no doubt look to clear it. They bang it into touch, but the siren hasn't gone yet so the Chiefs get a line-out. The hosts look to make something from it, but knock it on. There goes the siren and the whistle is far behind. Half-time it is.
39 It's one again messy ball from the Highlanders after they take it through the middle. No surprises as they lose it forward. Leonard and Lee gain a few metres to put the Chiefs on the front foot. Lee is really making big yards for the hosts. The knock comes from SBW and the Highlanders can breathe again.
37 PENALTY, CHIEFS, CRUDEN - 16-9 - Cruden spots a hole and floats it to Masanga. It comes back in before they lose it forward. It's a penalty anyway as the Highlanders were off-side. Cruden makes it four from four from the left-hand side.
34 The Highlanders steal a ball in the line-out and Burleigh sends it high, but it's straight to Robinson and the Chiefs can carry it up again. The Highlanders are not helping themselves, are they?
32 PENALTY CHIEFS, CRUDEN. The Chiefs fly-half takes the resulting kick and the hosts stretch their lead to four points. 13-9 it is!
30 Brilliant stuff from the Chiefs' backline. Up and under and it's just outside the Highlanders' 22. Smith takes it, but it's man and ball as he takes a big hit from Masaga. Sonny-Bill is there to follow up and the Highlanders go off their feet. Penalty.
25 PENALTY, HIGHLANDERS. Noakes with his third shot at goal... he hasn't missed any so far in this match and over goes another one! It's just a one-point ball game now folks! 9-10
23 Chiefs forced to defend their line as the Highlanders continue to attack through their forwards. Nasi Manu is brought down inches from the line - a Chiefs hand tries to dig the ball out. Penalty to the Highlanders.
19 Jimmy Cowan feeds his forwards - Josh Bekhuis rumbles forward, stays on his feet and the Highlanders get a maul going towards half-way.
16 Both sides giving the ball lots of air as Hosea Gear comes looking for work off his wing. The former Hurricanes flyer slips through one tackle, but gets sandwiched between Kahui and Williams. Crunch!
13 TRY, CHIEFS. Cruden tears down the touchline, steps inside before offloading to Richard Kahui who makes a dart for the line. He's hauled down 5m short. Ball recycled well though and spread wide to Lelia Masaga and the big winger powers his way over! Try!!!
11 PENALTY, HIGHLANDERS. The Chiefs caught offsides, which will allow Noakes another chance at three points.... and the Highlanders pivot makes no mistake. Highlanders back in front! 3-6
9 Injury blow for the Chiefs now as prop Ben Afeaki leaves the field. On comes Toby Smith in his place.
7 Mackintosh takes it up again - leading from the front. However, the former All Black gets hit hard by Hika Elliot and spills the pigskin forward. Will the Chiefs counter-attack? It's perfect weather for running rugby. No, Robbie Robinson opts for touch instead. He has massive boot on him.
5 PENALTY, CHIEFS. Cruden lines it up from bang in front - easy does it, and we're all square in Hamilton! 3-3
4 First of the ball for Sonny Bill Williams as the big man shrugs off wo tacklers and makes a good 15m for his team. Liam Messam in support, but the ball gets ripped off the Chiefs captain - illegally it seems as the ref's arm goes up in favour of the hosts.
2 PENALTY, HIGHLANDERS. Noakes strikes it well and over it goes, First blood to the Highlanders! 0-3
1 And under way! Aaron Cruden kicks off, taken in by Highlanders skipper Jamie Mackintosh who charges forward. Fritz Lee is pinged at the breakdown and the ref awards a penalty to the visitors. Chance at three points if Chris Noakes can find his target...
Team news Former Hurricanes hooker Andrew Hore and wing Hosea Gear feature in the Highlanders run-on side, as does centre Tamati Ellison. Buxton Popoali'i will make his first Highlanders start on the other wing.
Team news The team will be led by Liam Messam, who forms a strong back-row trio that has Sam Cane at openside and Fritz Lee packing down at eight. Hika Elliot has shrugged off a pre-season injury to start ahead of another new signing, Mahonri Schwalger, while Sona Taumalolo also gets in. New signings Robbie Robinson, Sonny Bill Williams and Aaron Cruden have all been handed starts, with the latter alongside Brendon Leonard.
Preview Sonny-Bill Williams and Richard Kahui form one of the most deadly mid-field combinations in Super Rugby this season, with dynamo Aaron Cruden running the show at No.10. The Chiefs also have a new man in charge with Dave Rennie taking the reins as coach of the new-look franchise. The Highlanders turned in a strong showing in 2011 but are already facing a horrific injury toll. The Highlanders' injury problems are mainly in the backs, with Siale Piutau, Shaun Treeby and Kendrick Lynn all battling fitness concerns. The two teams met in a pre-season trial match won narrowly 38-36 by the Chiefs, and there's a feeling in Waikato that they could be the surprise packets this season.
Welcome! Hello and welcome to Hamilton for the Super Rugby opener between the Chiefs and Highlanders!

Your right to vote is being threatened.
That is largely because, technically, you don't actually have the right to vote.
Yes, there are amendments designed to protect against discrimination in voting, but the Constitution doesn't actually carry an affirmative right to vote.
A constitutional amendment being offered in the U.S. House would address that.
The text of the amendment, in full:
"Section 1: Every citizen of the United States, who is of legal voting age, shall have the fundamental right to vote in any public election held in the jurisdiction in which the citizen resides.
"Section 2: Congress shall have the power to enforce and implement this article by appropriate legislation."
Not that we think the measure has a snowball's chance of surviving in the current heated political environment.
After all, enacting a constitutional amendment is (sensibly) quite a feat.
It has to clear Congress with the approval of a two-thirds majority of a joint resolution, and then three-fourths of the state legislatures also have to sign off.
Only 27 amendments have been approved since the nation's founding.
And that was without a completely dysfunctional Congress.
Make no mistake, this is a historically dysfunctional Congress. It's passed all of 10 laws in its current session.
The latest one dealt with "the size of the precious-metal blanks that will be used in the production of the National Baseball Hall of Fame commemorative coins."
Nonetheless, such an amendment is needed as state after state, including North Carolina, tinker with voting laws, polling places and polling times.
In an effort to "restore integrity'' to voting by fighting fraud that hasn't actually been proven, it's a guarantee legitimate voters are going to be left out in the cold.
One of the amendment sponsors, Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Wis., voiced concerns about voter disenfranchisement due to the preponderance of new voter ID laws.
Pocan said, "In the last decade especially we've just seen a number of these measures to restrict access to voting rights in so many states. ? There's just so many of these that are out there, that it shows the real need that we have."
He added, "Essentially, what it would do is it would put the burden on any of these states that try to make laws that are more restrictive that they would have to prove that they're not disenfranchising a voter. Rather than currently, where a voter has to prove they've somehow been wronged by a state measure."
This sounds like a common-sense plan to us.
If we're out to restore confidence in elections, this is a good place to start.

Ivory Coast to Build Railway to Boost Output From Western Mines
Oct. 5 (Bloomberg) -- Ivory Coast plans to build a railway linking the west of the country with the port town of San Pedro as it seeks to boost production from nickel and iron mines in the region, Mines and Energy Minister Augustin Comoe said.
"The west is overflowing with nickel, manganese and iron," he said by phone from Abidjan today. Construction of the railway will begin in 2014 and "we're looking to transport about 22 million metric tons of minerals" a year, Comoe said.
Ivory Coast, the world's largest cocoa producer, is aiming to boost the contribution of mining to the nation's gross domestic product to 10 percent by 2020 from 1.5 percent now, the Ministry of Mines and Energy has said.
Infrastructure in the western region has deteriorated following a 2002 armed conflict that split the country into a government-held south and rebel-controlled north.
The planned 737-kilometer (458-mile) rail network will transport minerals to San Pedro from the Guinea and Liberian border regions, Comoe said. The line will also carry about 45,000 tons of cocoa a year and 24,500 tons of timber, he said.
Studies prior to the outbreak of the conflict eight years ago estimated that the cost of building the rail line would be about 860 billion CFA francs ($1.8 billion), Comoe said. That estimate will now need to be updated, he said, without providing further details.
The planned railway will run as far north-west as the town of Man, a former rebel-held town some 250 kilometers north of San Pedro. The Ivory Coast plans to hold elections on Oct. 31.
"There is no more conflict, elections are going ahead, so we are assuring investors it is now safe to begin exploiting minerals here," Comoe said.
Companies including BHP Billiton Ltd. and ArcelorMittal, which have operations in neighboring Guinea and Liberia, are potential investors in talks with Ivory Coast, he said, without commenting further.

I've found that a quick re-grind usually brings new life to an old dim screen and it'll be as god as a new screen.
You'll be surprised just how easy it is to make a good glass screen that will match any commercial screen, Hopf included, in terms of brightness and usability.
Cost wise I think I'd rather make a couple of spare screens and just go for the normal glass unless you can get boro-silicate glass shheets at a reasonable cost. Optically it's additional brightness will be barely noticable/measurable and it can still get broken
