But the former Scotland internationalist is adamant he has left Scotland with a "heavy heart" and has not turned his back on management for good.
The 41-year-old took the reins at Westfield last April following the departure of Steven Pressley for Coventry City and steered his young team to the promotion play-offs before heartache in the semi-final against Hamilton Academical.
"Some people will say is it a step back from management or a step up to the Championship and a massive club?" Holt wondered. "I see it as a step up and another chapter in the Book of Holt. Don't get me wrong, management is something maybe in the future I'll want to get back into.
"I loved it. Falkirk is a great club with good people behind it. I'll have fewer problems to deal with but it was a great learning curve, and it's [with] a heavy heart I leave Falkirk."

During their five days at IRRI, the students, who will be accompanied by their teachers, will learn about new techniques such as DNA extraction and how to insert a gene into rice as well as more basic information such as how to prepare a field for rice transplanting. "We hope they will then return home with a new sense of excitement about rice and its potential both in science and in the future development of Asia," said Dr. Kwanchai Gomez, the TRF's executive director.
"Rice has played a vital role in Thailand's economic development, not to mention its history and culture," Dr. Gomez added. "The challenge is to try and translate this into a sense of excitement and interest amongst young people in Thailand and all over Asia."

STILLWATER — It went largely unnoticed but it was a big loss.

STILLWATER — It went largely unnoticed but it was a big loss.
When Daytawion Lowe suffered a shoulder injury during summer workouts last year, Oklahoma State lost a potential key contributor on its defense.
After having surgery and taking a redshirt season, Lowe returns to action this spring as a redshirt sophomore who will provide depth in the secondary.
"I know he's excited to be back," coach Mike Gundy said. "He brings a certain amount of enthusiasm to us. He came from a great program that won a lot of games; it's good to have him back out there."
A former Oklahoman All-State safety at Carl Albert, Lowe was slated to be OSU's nickelback in passing situations last season. He played a significant role on the Cowboys' special teams as a true freshman in 2009 before the injury forced him to watch one of the best seasons in OSU history from the sideline.
"It took a piece out of my heart," Lowe said. "Football is one of my loves and I didn't realize how much I missed it until it was gone. It was frustrating. Just sitting down and having to watch when I could have been out there."
This spring, he will be out there. And he'll be counted on to be a key member of OSU's defense in 2011.
"Daytawion will probably be a nickelback for us," defensive coordinator Bill Young said. "We really missed him last year. He's going to be bigger, better, stronger and faster."
Continue reading this story on the...
Here's a closer look at Oklahoma State's safeties:
Number, Name, Ht, Wt, Class, Hometown
* 10, Markelle Martin, 6-1, 192, Sr., Wichita Fall, Texas
One of the Big 12's top safeties, Martin will be one of the leaders of the defense.
* 12, Johnny Thomas, 5-11, 196, Sr., Texas City, Texas
One of the most pleasant surprises of 2010, Thomas could be even better as a senior.
* 8, Daytawion Lowe, 6-0, 188, So., Midwest City
Slated to be the Cowboys' starting nickelback after missing the 2010 season.
* 2, Lavocheya Cooper, 6-0, 187, So., Arp, Texas
Very talented, this spring will be an opportunity for Cooper to secure a spot in the rotation.
* 23, Zack Craig, 6-2, 188, So., Spring Branch, Texas
Solid contributor on special teams as a true freshman. Another versatile safety prospect.
* 28, Deion Imade, 5-11, 191, So., Rowlett, Texas
Imade impressed as soon as he stepped on campus as a true freshman.

AN erroneous belief that relevance of oil approximates to the life span of Nigeria's oil reserves partially fuels the laxity with which the authorities treat diversification of the economy. Concerns over dependence of the economy on oil raged more than three decades ago. Now, Nigeria's dependence on oil is total, yet the matter is discussed as one of several issues beleaguering Nigeria.
The vehemence with which delegates to the National Conference opposed an increase in derivation revenue for oil producing areas, should create concerns about their understanding of Nigeria's future. Nigeria is mostly about oil and its depleting consequences on our national resources, some of which are in more abundance and could have more multiplier effects on the economy than oil.
Oil devastates with a rapidity few enterprises impose on their surroundings. The billions of Dollars it pulls into national coffers makes all ignore the perpetual penury oil exploration orders for its environment. Agitations for equitable use of oil resources fail too in securing renewal of the ruined environment.
More frightening, with all the positions on laying more solid foundations for the economy, away from the volatility of oil, not much has been done in the more than 40 years oil assumed podium position in our economy. Delegates' opposition of derivation is a call to further laziness, particularly in re-directing the economy.
Oil could become irrelevant quicker than most predict. Its damages to the environment, its unpredictable prices, increasing pace of searches for alternatives to oil, are enough reasons to create an economy away from oil. Our delegates ignored these.
Plans for the Nigerian economy are primed on oil. They would have been as simple as re-investing oil revenue in other sectors of the economy. They have remained unimplemented.
Oil still accounts for 95 per cent of exports and 75 per cent of consolidated budgetary revenues. Its mismanagement throws the economy into a spin. When the prices dip, or more thieves help themselves to the oil, as seems to be the case now, the economy wheels almost to a halt.
More pressure would have been on our economy with America's decision to patronise alternative energy resources. Without security challenges in the Middle East, the price of oil could have dipped beyond sustainable point for the economy. Our delegates did not see danger signals around oil. They were more interested in fighting for larger shares of a wasting and unsustainable resource.
Derivation is possibly a final chance to return each part of Nigeria to competitiveness, in the understanding that its survival would depend on its efforts.
Without thorough planning of the economy, an indiscernible future awaits Nigerians. Who would rescue Nigerians from the blight of oil?

What causes sleep paralysis disorder?
Rate This Article:
Thank You For Voting
Comand central: gone awry.
Freeze. Don't move a muscle. What causes sleep paralysis disorder? Sleep paralysis disorder seems like a mighty strange condition to be visited upon people who are soundly sleeping�or just beginning to awake. At these times, victims cannot move. They are paralyzed. They can suffer vivid hallucinations while immobile. Investigations reveal these folks have sleep paralysis disorder. Is it a curse? Is there a cure?
What causes sleep paralysis disorder? Experts say episodes of sleep paralysis can last for seconds�or minutes. An intruding stimulus�a jolt, a noise�can bring the interval to a quick end. The disorder is associated with a particular stage of sleep. People experience during the night three stages of sleep: rapid eye movement sleep, non-rapid eye movement sleep and slow wave sleep. The stages can be detected by recording brain wave activity and observing the rate of eye blinking.
What are the symptoms of the disorder?
Sleep paralysis disorder occurs during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep�the period when dreaming takes place. Bodily paralysis is a natural occurrence during REM sleep. In fact, the inability to move during that time of dreaming, drifting off�or coming back to full consciousness�is a marvelous safeguard against inadvertent injuries. It seems Mother Nature requires everyone to be fully aware before they jump out of bed and hit the ground running. Otherwise, they might just�hit the ground.
In sleep paralysis disorder, wakefulness resumes but the body still maintains for some period of time�a few seconds to several minutes�its naturally paralyzed state. The newly awakened brain suddenly is firing on all cylinders but in a mounting state of confusion sleepers realize their bodies are incapable of movement. Brain and body are out of sync. It takes a moment to realize the situation and cope by waiting, moving very slowly or moving with force, through sheer will.
What is the emotional component?
Afflicted sleepers can feel panic. Questions scream across the mind in the moments during paralysis. Am I dead? Did I have stroke? Have I become paralyzed for life? What if this feeling never passes? Equally disturbing are the hallucinations that sometimes are a part of sleep paralysis disorder. The fantasies may be delightful or devastating.
Various cultures try to explain the hallucinations by embracing theories of visitations by spirits, witches, devils and ghostly creatures that perch like weighty burdens upon sleepers' chests. Perhaps the visions provide an explanation for reports of close encounters with heavenly angels�or aliens from outer space.
Can treatment be effective?
Medical professionals have found that education offers a means of treatment. Sufferers who learn about the disorder attain a higher level of comfort with the outcomes of this condition. Among the medications used when warranted are Ritalin�which can help to regulate sleep schedules�and Clonazapam�a drug with sedative and anti-convulsive properties.
Before going to extremes�or to bed�victims of sleep paralysis disorder surely will want to try some behavior modification techniques. Recommended behaviors include establishing a regular bedtime and varying sleep positions. Refraining from eating before bedtime may help. Another effective technique relates to stress reduction; try not to think about problems before bed.
How important is sleep for health?
How important is sleep for health?
The benefits of sleep are well documented. The body renews itself during sleep. An undisturbed sleep is crucial for maintaining vim and vigor. The hours when a person sleeps are the hours during which the body repairs itself; the immune system, the nervous system and all the body's marvelous mechanisms are maintained at that time. True is the old Irish proverb: A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor's book.

30 year old man | Modjeska, CA, USA | Seeking women 24-35 within 50 miles of Dana Point, CA
Just an ol' fashioned country gentleman
Well, I guess you could say I'm pretty old fashioned. I prefer the simple things in life, a nice tree to sit under, a good cup of coffee, playing music with some friends, campfires, family dinners. I like silver and turquoise jewelry and collecting feathers and I'd like to have a gal I could give them to. I'm not the type of person that always needs to be where the action is, I can just sit and enjoy good company and be perfectly fine. Silence in a conversation doesn't bother me in the least. But don't get me wrong, I love having a good time and laughing as often as possible. I love having friends and family (to me there is no distinction) over for big family style dinners, which usually end with singing around the fire. I also love music, I play and write quite a bit. I enjoy the outdoors, rock climbing, camping, fishing. I still believe in holding doors open(That should have never gone out of style). In a new group of people I can tend to be quite, just sit back and observe. But with people I am close to I can be a bit a showman. I like to tell a good story, and play music for people. Bottom line, I'm an old soul, I have a thirst for things nostalgic, simple, and antiquated. Maybe I was born too late, which is ironic that I turned to online dating to find a match. I'd like to meet a girl who is content singing music at home, getting lost in a book store, or getting cozy in a tent, over going to Vegas (not to say I wont go to Vegas with you.... they do have a bass pro shops there after all ;). I like caring for my chickens, and creating more than I consume. So if you want a guy that can build you a fire, sing you to sleep, and not only pick you wildflowers but be able to name them all as well then I'm your guy. If you want a guy to play beer pong with, and stay out all night drinking because he doesn't have work in the morning then best of luck to you, maybe try a high school. My faith is very important to me. It is something I want to be able to share with my gal. It's a big part of who I am, so if I can't I'm afraid it just wont work.

first time in France: Paris -> Provence or vice versa?
My friend and I are going to France for the first time (well, MY first time!) for a 16-day trip in late September to mid-October. We're in agreement about where we want to go but we can't make up our minds about the direction. My thought was that we'd fly into Paris and spend a week, then rent a car and drive into the Loire Valley to see the chateaux for 4 days, then into Provence for 5 days and leave from there. Then my friend suggested going in the other direction, first Provence and then Paris. And Rick Steves makes the same suggestion in his France 2013 guidebook: "Most find the easygoing Mediterranean city of Nice far easier than Paris as a starting point for their trip." I still like the idea of starting in Paris and going south (I want to see the great city at the beginning of the trip, and it seems our energy for it will be fresher), but we're discussing the pros and cons of this. Any thoughts and experiences on this vital travel question?

Will the Montana Legislature fix the state medical marijuana program?
Last update: January 16, 2015
Since voters overwhelmingly passed a medical marijuana law in 2004, the legislature has met five times. Each time, it has failed to implement a workable regulatory system to ensure patients have safe, regular access to medicine. The only significant change happened in 2011, when the legislature passed "repeal in disguise" and unsuccessfully tried to shut down all business — again missing the opportunity to regulate medical marijuana. This year's session offers a chance to change that, but will the legislature take that opportunity? In the wake of a court ruling blocking some of the most unworkable provisions of the current law, Republican majority leader, Sen. Jeff Essman — one of the current law's authors — told reporters it may be time to consider a regulatory structure. If you agree it's time to regulate the program to provide safe and regular access for patients, let your legislators know. A copy of the court ruling is available here.
Meanwhile, other marijuana-related legislation has been presented, including an apparent solution in search of a problem. Rep. David Moore has presented H.B. 173, which prohibits state agencies from making any rule concerning the use or sale of marijuana for any purpose other than that related to medical marijuana, "including the recreational use of marijuana." While Montana could help eliminate the underground market, save significant tax dollars currently wasted on ineffective marijuana prohibition policies, and actually make revenue, it is inconceivable that any agency could simply legalize marijuana through the rulemaking process.
Finally, Montana's unscientific DUI law remains in effect, which makes it a crime for a driver to have five or more nanograms per milliliter of THC (ng/mL) in his or her bloodstream, whether or not the person is actually impaired. Without a doubt, people should not drive while impaired. However, medical marijuana patients may have that level of THC in their blood long after any impairment has worn off. This law is bad for medical marijuana patients because it does not reflect on their ability to drive safely. Tell your representative and senator to repeal this unfair law here.
Montana's marijuana laws; efforts to change them
In Montana, possession of even a single joint for non-medical purposes can land you in jail for six months, while possession of 60 grams or more (a little over two ounces) can result in a sentence of up to five years. These stiff marijuana penalties cause related negative consequences.
In 2012, there were 1,502 arrests or citations for marijuana-related offenses, 95% of which were for possession. The number of marijuana arrests more than tripled since 2003. At the same time, law enforcement was unable to solve 91% of all burglaries — including home invasions — and over 85% of all motor vehicle thefts. Instead of arresting adults for possession of a product that is safer than alcohol, law enforcement should focus its limited resources on going after real criminals. It's past time for a better solution.
If you believe that Montana law enforcement dollars could be better spent going after real criminals, write your legislators and urge them to support legislation reducing marijuana possession penalties. Or, ask them to legalize marijuana for adults 21 and older and to regulate it like alcohol.

The Lodge at Mallard's Landing to Open Restaurant to the Public
The Gig Harbor restaurant will be open for dinner Fridays and Saturdays only.
GIG HARBOR - The Lodge at Mallard's Landing will begin serving open-to-public dinners Friday and Saturday nights, starting Oct. 15. Reservations are required.
The Lodge is located at 7083 Wagner Way, in Gig Harbor. Call (253) 858-4990 for reservations.
Executive Chef Craig Haslebacher, director of dining services for Gig Harbor's new Lodge at Mallard's Landing retirement center, is fast becoming a local celebrity.
First, Haslebacher beat Iron Chef Bobby Flay of the Food Network in a cooking competition. Then he tied with "Top Chef" Fabio Viviani at the Harbor History Museum's Wine and Food Festival cook-off in August.
He recently provided the food for a special event for the Gig Harbor Film Festival, and he has been guest chef at the Saturday Farmers Market.
And every day he garners sighs of appreciation from the residents of The Lodge and their guests for his prowess in the kitchen.
In fact, his food has become so popular that the owners of The Lodge are opening a restaurant at the retirement center, starting Oct. 15.
"Response to Chef Craig's cooking has been phenomenal," said Mike Swanson, executive director of The Lodge. "Having a restaurant will be a good opportunity to showcase the high level of food our staff is producing and also to let them know what we do here. I can't think of a better way to get to know each other than to break bread together."
Both Swanson and Craig emphasize that the new restaurant will be open for dinner on Fridays and Saturdays only, and reservations will be required.
"We have very limited seating, so if you don't have a reservation, you won't be able to get in that night," Swanson said.
The focus will be on providing diners with "the finest food and the best dining experience they will find anywhere in Gig Harbor," Haslebacher said.
"To start with, we're committed to buying from local providers as much as we possibly can.
"We get our beef from a meat man in Bremerton, and all our clams and oysters from Minterbrook Farms here in the harbor."
He added that he would love to be able to buy fish directly from a local fisherman, but hasn't found one who is licensed to sell to restaurants.
"We will not serve any farm-raised fish or shrimp, ever. It's all wild-caught."
Everything from soups and salads to breads and desserts, is made from scratch and every entrée will be cooked to order.
The menu, Haslebacher said, will be "fabulous" and will feature such items as filet mignon with whiskey marinade, served with garlic mashed potatoes and wild-caught shrimp; 16-ounce New York steak; rack of lamb crusted with fresh herbs; cedar planked Northwest salmon, roasted duck breast with orange sauce; parmesan-crusted chicken breast and lobster ravioli.
"The staff is excited about all this," Haslebacher said. "We'll even have a couple of table-side salads that are made right at your table."
"And people should be sure to save room for dessert," said Ron Baker, district vice president of Frontier Management, the company that owns The Lodge.
Swanson agreed. "I think folks will want to eat dessert first."
The dessert list includes such treats as chocolate soufflé with chocolate syrup; tropical fruit Crème Brule, blackberry cobbler, homemade ice cream and assorted cheese cakes.
For those who just can't decide, there will be a three-dessert sampler plate.
The Lodge hopes to add a Sunday brunch to the restaurant's offerings, and vintners dinners — paring special Northwest wines with food — are also in the plans.
"My goal is to put a smile on someone's face every day," Haslebacher said. "We do that by serving extraordinary food."
For information and reservations, call (253) 858-4990.

Vance Worley's last start can be summed up by one bad inning. Worley allowed a five-spot in the sixth inning against the San Francisco Giants. He made one bad mistake to Brandon Crawford, which turned out to be the game. Worley is still having a fine year, and has minimized talks of a sophomore slump.
Marco Estrada spent some of the season in the bullpen. As a starter this season, he has struggled, going 0-4 with a 4.45 ERA. He was placed on the disabled list in June, but has been a little better since his return. In his last four starts, he has had a quality start or better. His strikeout totals have been off the charts recently, fanning 45 in 24.2 innings.
Your gameday beer: Since the Phils are playing Milwaukee today, we have to go with Miller High Life, which is brewed in Milwaukee. Don't ever mess with the champagne of beers.

Campus Food:
It could be a lot worse
Party Scene:
Parties are fun during the first two years.
Off-Campus Dining:
So many options available. There is more than something for everyone.
All faculty and staff members are very easily contacted.
Very easy to contact the financial aid office. Drew is very willing to supply financial aid and scholarships.
Campus Food:
Food is pretty good for college food.
Campus Housing:
The housing is good not great. However, there are a lot of different options. There are singles, doubles, triples, and quads available. There are also suites with common rooms and private bathrooms.
Off-Campus Housing:
I don't think there are really any off campus options.
Off-Campus Dining:
There are many pizza places, chipotle, and restaurants near campus.
My fin aid covered about 90% of tuition..
Campus Food:
Don't normally eat on campus but it's pretty good.
Off-Campus Dining:
Students will typically order from Chipotle or a local pizza shop, but this is about all that's offered in such a prominent, up-scale area.
Party Scene:
There isn't really a party scene. The minor parties that do exist are disgusting and so few people attend it's just uncomfortable.
The administration such as Res Life is very accommodating. Other facilities pale in comparison and receive many complaints. Ironically, students are generally complacent, despite the ongoing frustration. More like apathetic.
To work with and communicate with the financial aid department is so incredibly difficult and frustrating. They offer no support regardless of financial need. I have a 3.97 GPA and my FAFSA indicates that my EFC is 1,543; however, they offer no additional support despite my extenuating circumstances.
Campus Food:
The food is absolutely horrible and the school is known for its poor food quality.
Campus Housing:
The food is terrible, the students are generally pompous and fully of themselves, and the school cannot uphold a decent or satisfying degree of academic rigor.
They give large packages to the freshmen to get them to enroll and its awesome, but they tend to sneakily give you less money every year.
Campus Food:
The commons is awful. The only good things were the DIY pasta and stir fry stations, and they got rid of them. Now there's no pasta and the stir fry has to be made for you. This causes ridiculous lines and contaminated pans. I know this isn't a nut free campus, but if the person before me gets peanut noodles, wiping the pan with the same towel they've been using for the whole dinner service isn't gonna do it. The EC is better, but the service is super slow. Oh, and the vegetarian/vegan option is a cardboard gardenburger. That's it.
Campus Housing:
Campus housing is okay, but not the greatest. The cost is super expensive, and the facilities workers are sparse. I put in a work order in the fall, and three different people came saying they had to call another guy. Yeah. Then the lottery system and applications are awful. You can try to get a "suite" with your friends, but a random person can decide to live with you if your friends' number is high. I know someone who got a suite with five people, and then some random kid with no friends jumped in the room and took the spot.
Guys & Girls:
A lot of the student are stuck up but there are some really cool people too. People here like heading to NY and drinking a parties. On Friday and Saturday nights you can see them stumbling to there rooms.People are although genuinely nice to each out and welcoming to others.
Party Scene:
Ok, nothing to talk about.
Off-Campus Dining:
Cluck U, Dominoes, Chinese Food, Sushi
I got what i needed.
Campus Housing:
nice rooms with a good amount of space.

Do you recognize this? Are there small cupboards built in? Maybe in the kitchen or somewhere near to it. Did you investigate these?
Does this all ring a bell?

Are you serious? I also, after posting, saw a female left hand, old and claw like with long reddish painted nails. Was that your MIL too?
Is there a connection between her and the house? Or your oldest child?
But what about the small in-built cupboards? Does your house have them?Did you thoroughly check them?

Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No is coming, and the schlocky Syfy adventure just dropped an appropriately insane first look.
In a few months, viewers will be graced with the latest installment of everybody's favorite disaster franchise Sharknado. That said, one of the film's stars, David Hasselhoff, was out promoting the film recently and made a few very funny and extremely blunt comments about the upcoming made for TV movie.
Yes, Syfy and its president Dave Howe have revealed that Sharknado 3 has not only been confirmed, but now we know more about what it will be about, too.
Peanut butter and jelly. Bogart and Bacall. Sharks and Tara Reid. Two of these duos are obvious good fits, while the other combinations satisfaction is entirely surprising. Syfy has given audiences not just one but two Sharknado movies, and arguably no one was more surprised by the films unmitigated success than Reid herself.
The ratings are in and it sounds like Sharknado 2: The Second One was a hit for Syfy. According to the network, the shark-filled sequel scored record-setting numbers for the network, and -- no exaggeration, apparently -- a billion twitter impressions. Given the number of trending topics related to the movie last night, #SawHand included, we're inclined to believe that figure.
Though it was decided that taking a running leap off of the top of a speeding bus would be better for society, here are three ingredients that Sharknado 3 needs to become the greatest (shark-filled made-for-TV) movie of 2015.
Syfy's forecast calls for a Sharknado, and come tomorrow night, the network plans to deliver. We took a peek at Sharknado 2: The Second One ahead of tomorrow night's grand debut, and if you're looking for full-on shark mayhem, this sequel delivers a hearty helping. and then some. Expect blood. Expect chaos. Expect New York City to be soaked in sharks and terror.
There's nothing quite like the sound of an inspirational speech delivered by Ian Ziering that includes the words "I've been eaten." Sharknado spoiler alert: He has. It's that kind of life experience that may prove especially useful to the New Yorkers featured in Sharknado 2: The Second One. There's a storm brewing and it's full of sharks! As the trailer advises, forget the umbrella, grab a chainsaw!
There's a storm coming to New York and it's full of sharks! Syfy gave us a look at their upcoming Sharknado followup Sharknado 2: The Second One, which teaches a harsh lesson to some city commuters about the dangers of subway-riding during a Sharknado. We also get to see some tension between Sharknado returner Ian Ziering and Mark McGrath's character, who's apparently trying to date Fin's sister. Drama!
Syfy may not always have the best eye for original content, but the network sure knows how to replicate a successful venture. This time, theyve taken an idea from Discoverys playbook and are using the concept behind the channels successful Shark Week to bring even more eyeballs toyou guessed itSharknado. Heres what you need to know about Syfys upcoming Sharknado Week.
Syfy and The Asylum wore their gimmicky intentions on their sleeves by making it clear the whole point of this sequel is to take the action to a different city, which is no surprise, since the only thing that Sharknado 2 is accomplishing is moving the characters from Los Angeles to New York.
After the high-flying antics and unexpected, whirlwind success of the first Sharknado film, its no surprise that Syfy was able to secure some bigger, more outlandish names to join the cast of its sequel, Sharknado 2: The Second One. The network and production company The Asylum announced a bevy of stars set to join the rollicking and ridiculous sequel, including Kelly Osbourne, Judd Hirsch, Andy Dick, Judah Friedlander, Vivica A. Fox and Mark McGrath.
Can lightening strike twice during a Sharknado? Syfy is apparently hoping so, as the network has Sharknado 2 set to air this summer. That's not entirely news. The weather forecast indicated that another Sharknado is on the way this year, it was just a matter of when.
If ever there was a TV movie that's garnered plenty of buzz through social networking, it's Syfy's Sharknado, one of the cable channel's many original movies. That buzz, which came in the form of a flurry of Tweets submitted ruing the film's original broadcast, didn't exactly translate to ratings, but the film earned itself a sequel nonetheless.
Since Sharknado debuted on SyFy earlier this month, the cable channel has been milking the attention and basking in the glow of their social media buzz that has inspired not only a midnight theatrical run, but a sequel as well. However, amidst the torrent of Sharknado success stories floated the rumor that actress Tara Reid would not be asked back for Sharknado 2: The Sharknado Strikes Back (you're welcome, SyFy), something that Reid quickly refuted. Now, a Sharknado producer has gone on record to refute the rumor as well.

How Did You Learn To Ride?

I knew I wanted a motorized bike from a very early age. After endless pestering my dad came home with a 3 HP mini-bike in the back of his truck. It had lights, disk brakes, front and rear suspension, chrome fenders and tank and the frame was painted metal flake lime green. It had the usual centrifical clutch that drove a second clutch so it kicked into a second gear at about 15mph. I've never seen another mini-bike like it since. This was about 1970.
After about 6 mos. or so Dad comes home with a 5 HP motor and proceeds to shoehorn it into the bike. The spark plug only cleared the metal tank by about a quarter inch. I was afraid the spark would jump up to the tank and explode on me. That mini-bike would probably hit 60 MPH if it was on a long straight rode. It scared the crap out of me after the motor swap.
About a year later Dad and I were walking around the local flea market and spotted a guy selling a nearly new green Honda QA50. I fell in love with it and convinced Dad who talked the seller into an even trade. I rode the snot outta that QA50 for a couple years then sold it and bought a Yamaha Mini-Enduro 80cc. That's the bike that I learned to use a clutch and real gears on. I ended up selling it back to the buddy I bought it from.
After my parents divorced Mom was dating a fellow that had a used car lot. I had been saving some money and when he told Mom there was an old Yamaha street bike on his lot taking up space I bought it cheap. I wish I could remember the exact model but it was a 250 2 stroke with the oil injection. It smoked like crazy when you really got on the throttle. It was a quick bike and the Honda CB350's of the day couldn't keep up with it.
I rode it all over South Ft.Worth and in particular, Benbrook Lake. It was a great way to meet girls. Man those were the days. Endless summers...

Nice image, lovely BG, i would try reducing the ISO a bit to cut down on the noise.
Nominating Constructive Critique
You've done almost everything right here, there are a couple of points to look at though.
1. It isn't critically sharp, which is a shame as the plumage is crying out for sharpness. It might be that at the wide open aperture you used, the lens' performance is not as good as it is stopped down a couple of stops, and the dull light (while good for revealing fine detail) has necessitated using a wider aperture to keep the shutter speed up. The other thing could be a small amount of movement of the bird lowering the absolute sharpness.
2. The double pole in the background (I presume it's a gate or some garden furniture) cutting right through the bird is a big distraction - the equivalent of having a pole growing out of a person's head.
The noise would not be a problem if the rest was sharp, though if you had Lightroom (or Noise Ninja for instance), you could get rid of a lot of the noise easily. The pic is quite low contrast as is, so could bear a little more sharpening and curves adjustment. If trying this again, a little blip of flash might help lift the detail - but dial in negative flash compensation (not overall exposure compensation) to make it act as fill-in and not the main illumination.

Hi Helen,
I like this. Even covered in fluff, it's still obviously a Robin.
I think that the biggest problem with this is that it's oversaturated. Initially, I thought that there was too much yellow, in other words, a cast.
But by using the saturation tool on various colours, I found that I got the best result by simply reducing the overall saturation, using the master.
Also, the bird's very central in the shot so, using the content aware tool, I've (rather poorly) added some canvas to the RHS.
That didn't turn out quite as I'd intended but hopefully, you'll get the idea!
Even using a tripod, this looks a little soft, although I'm inclined to think that, at least some, of that softness has occurred during the upload.
Either way, I've sharpened it.
I see that you add a logo to your shots.
Personally, provided they don't obscure half of the image, I have no problem with them but someone will probably tell you to remove it.
Whether or not you use one is entirely up to you. It's your shot and your choice.
Hope this helps.

Helen, good feedback, and I have one question for you.
Are you resizing as follows:
Resize image: Image>Image size> set pixels per inch to 72; then set the longest side to what the site allows; then during the save as process, you will adjust the quality slider to get the right file size, then save.
Next: Open the new image. Check for sharpness at 100%. It will very likely need to be sharpened. You can use whatever method you prefer; here is a reliable method you can use:
Filter>sharpen>unsharp mask; set Radius = 0.8; set threshold = 3; now slide the Amount slider all the way to the right, which oversharpens the shot; then slide it slowly back to the left until it doesnt look soft, and doesnt look too sharp. You can view your image and turn Preview on and off to see how youre doing. When your happy, press OK, then SAVE. Now upload.
If no, thats why it looks soft.

Thanks for all the feedback, Sooty the pole is the bird feeder good point made I may try removing it. Totally lost on flash I am affraid..... Bren I liked the mod you did has given me some ideas. Willie, my re sizing has a lot to be desired but thanks you for great advice I will do it this way in future.

text: David Letterman: Comedian, late night legend… and shrewd businessman? by Daniel Bukszpan @FortuneMagazine May 19, 2015, 1:26 PM EDT E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Whenever a television show with a few seasons under its belt goes off the air, there are always those who proclaim it "the end of an era," even if it really isn't. Well this time, it's for real. On May 20, talk show host David Letterman will retire from CBS's "The Late Show," which he has hosted since 1993. He passes the torch and the time slot to comedian Stephen Colbert, formerly of Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report," but while no disrespect is intended to the very funny and intelligent successor, it just won't be the same. The first episode of "Late Night with David Letterman" aired on NBC in 1982, and he's been on the air ever since, surpassing Johnny Carson to become the longest-serving late-night talk show host in history. Most of today's late night talk show hosts acknowledge him as a primary influence, to the extent that "Jimmy Kimmel Live," which competes directly with Letterman's time slot, is airing a repeat Wednesday night. "I have too much respect for Dave to do anything that would distract viewers from watching his final show," Kimmel told The New York Times. Letterman has also shown that he knows his way around the boardroom. At his 2007 peak, Forbes reported that he was being paid $40 million a year, and both he and his film and television production company, Worldwide Pants, have been behind some major successes. But if the soon-to-be former host has plans to immerse himself in the business world, he didn't say so in a recent interview with Rolling Stone. "What I've decided to do — and what I really want to do — is give myself over to my son and my wife," he told the magazine. "My schedule is no longer a factor, so whatever they want, that's what we're going to do." A spokesperson from Worldwide Pants told Fortune that it will continue as Letterman's production company, but future developments lay past a horizon too distant for further specifics. In the meantime, here's a look at a few of the business successes that both Letterman and his production company have been a part of.

The contract numbers are in for new Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Cam Thomas and the former fifth-round draft pick was given a two-year deal worth $4 million, according to Tom Pelissero of USA Today Sports.
Specifically, Thomas will have base salaries of $1 million in 2014 and $2 million in 2015 and he was given a $1 million signing bonus in addition.
The 2014 cap charge for Thomas will be $1.5 million and his 2015 cap charge will be $2.5 million.
Thomas is expected to be the backup to Steve McLendon and he will also be groomed to play some defensive end as well. His signing eases the loss of Al Woods, who signed a two-year, $5 million contract with the Tennessee Titans on Wednesday.
In case you are scoring at home, the Titans gave Woods $1.9 million guaranteed while the Steelers gave Thomas $2 million guaranteed.
so, is 1 million dollars cheaper than al woods is that correct?
They must see something in him. I don't.
Al Woods got 1.9 million guaranteed from Titans. Cam Thomas got 2 million guaranteed from Steelers…..
Personally, I think we signed the wrong guy.
I think the guaranteed amount is 1.9 for Woods and 2 for Thomas
we are clearly shooting from the hip at this point … just dont see a positive in this one … was really expecting closer to a mil for a back up that played poorly !
Once again, proof that this FO is no longer the same. I am going to wait and see if the FO markedly improves the roster from last year. I seriously have my doubts.
me too !
What a profession that you can be rewarded multi-million $$ contract for performing poorly and sitting on the bench … nice !
$100k more in guaranteed money…$1mil less over two years. They could be seeing something we don't in the guy…but then again…maybe all the Al Woods cheerleaders saw something in him the Steelers didn't.
Should have resigned Woods!
I think you're right, Woods was OK but nothing special.
Not great, but not a nightmare either. It's about what you expect a backup nose tackle to cost and that's pretty much what the Steelers were looking for.
OK, I know the discussion is that Thomas is strictly NT, and a backup at that, meaning this displaces Fangupo, while our RDE starter remains unknown and DE depth is questionable. In other words, digging us out of no depth problems whatsoever.
But I wonder if Cam could play end, a la Kimo? Kimo was a NT to DE for us, and even though there's 30# more on Cam than Kimo (330# v. 300#), both are 6'4″ and powerful at the POA versus the run. And just Google picks of 67 and 76, and see if their frames aren't similar. Set the edge at RDE:
LOLB: Worilds
LDE: Heyward
NT: McLendon
RDE: Cam Thomas
ROLB: Jarvis Jones
Think of it this way. Left side is the young turks. Heyward is on the upswing, and Worilds flourished as a blindside attacker. Teams can't ignore that. Put a big celestial body like Cam on the right side and that negates some of the brute strength teams would use to wash out Jarvis, allowing him more leeway to try some moves. Mac is under-rated (per numerous Steelers Depot articles) as a run-stopper, so lock down the edges, let Mac develop in the middle, figure out a solution at ILB across from Timmons. IMO, Williams is a decent backup, but we need serious speed, e.g. Shazier.
Could be a beaster.
Maybe he wanted to start and the Steelers saw him as a swing player backing up 2 positions.
Agree! I like this over Woods. Woods was good but nothing special as a football player. Cam could be special with coaching and his ceiling is higher!
I really think he is just a replacement for Al Woods. NT/DE backup. Hopefully they finding a starting DE in FA.
Heyward, McLendon, FA TBD
Arnfelt, Thomas, Williams.
Can probably throw a draft pick into that mix. A decent DE pick up would put the line ahead of last year as Hood was below avg and Heyward and McLendon will have another year of experience.
Dave, when you were saying clone CAM Heyward is this what you meant?? I like the signing of CAM.
Smells like desperation to me right now. Hope I'm wrong.
Maybe. Not a lot of FA cap wiggle room left though.
I don't know why everyone's in a panic, woods was a decent back up, i never thought he was special, Dwyer just a back up, hood as good as a back up, there still alot of off season and the draft left, retained worilds signed a promising safety, garbed Muncheck (spelled wrong) and have Porter. I am good with what they are doing first they got us out of our cap situation and cut some aged bloated contracts, got younger fast, this is what people wanted myself included, They did alot more then i thought they would be able to do and theres still time left, im giving them some credit.
We will never know the real story of why Al Woods walked, but I like this signing for nothing more than to have a player who has logged actual time in at the position. I do not think this is the answer, but Al Woods was not really the answer either.
I feel better knowing that we have at least some depth.
I can still see us getting one or two more players similar to Cam Thomas in value. A running back or tightend could be next.
When in the world are they going to work out Worilds' contract so we can sign someone relevant?
Switch McLendon and Thomas.
Imo we should trade down from #15 and try and recoup that 3rd rounder we lost. My idea is to do that and take Yawin Smallwood as a 3rd rounder to fill our need at ILB.
I'd be cool with that!
Trade down and take Shazier in R1; Shazier >> Smallwood. R2, WR Moncrief. Extra R3: CB Pierre Desir.
or sign Cotch or extend Ben?
i know we usually dont play much in FA because of our excesses, but that looks to be in the past and Ben is an obvious restructure thats been talked about all year…
this is just lost money to get in this FA game for another possible game changer like MItchell, instead of waiting for more back-up material!
Money that would have been much better spent on Al Woods. Ugh.
Interesting….as said…who knows what happened with the Woods situation…maybe he wanted a chance to start and didnt think he'd get that here and went somewhere he could. Who knows. Just a swap of players with close to the same skills/etc for the most part.
Actually I do think most of us on here felt that WOODS was the ANSWER to our Depth on the DL …. sorry !
Wtf, seems like a little much for this guy.
Why are you people all worked up over Woods? Steelers spent time on him and he still couldn't crack the lineup. He barely saw the field on a pretty poor defense. I wouldn't have minded if he stuck around for little money, but now we got a new guy and let's see if he can do better. Our line sucked last year and you guys are mad that we lost the backup to our crummy line. Sheesh. I'm not saying I know that Cam is going to be better, but we won't know until we try it. Maybe SD was asking to him to penetrate or something that we don't really care about. We have very specific things we ask our DL to do and clearly the FO thinks Cam can do it. Let's hope he can. But it's pretty obvious that they didn't think Woods could do it at a high enough level.
…. And then not make any money after the age of 30 when the value of their money continuously shrinks if invested incorrectly.
Might as well have given Albert Haynesworth a call…see if he can muster the athleticism it takes to push himself away from the buffet.
I liked Woods potential but I agree, he really never did much except offer versatility. Cam Thomas will have every opportunity to succeed on this roster, he struggled against the run last season but he's made some plays over his short career and has far more experience than Woods.
Why?..because the FO signed a more experienced depth player for less money?
IF one can't have any ingenuity, imagination or hardwork to make any money off of a boat load of CAPITAL … then one doesnt deserve the money in the first place …. !
I generally agree with you on most but on this one I disagree with you and cencalsteeler. I personally don't think they wanted to lose Woods and when they did, we now got Cam Thomas.
Woods arrow was pointing up and everyone would agree including yourself.
Some think that the Nation is concerned about names (silly) but in reality its about the play on the field. Cam Thomas isn't good against the run so this really isn't an upgrade from Woods for a team that went 8-8 like others would want you to believe.
Love the Steelers, trust the leadership but like Keenan Lewis, don't like it never will….
I don't know if that's entirely fair. We're talking about the mental chemistry of a defensive lineman in the NFL. They have been groomed to think and act a certain way. They have put their entire life into this profession, that's why they are NFL players. Unlike other professions, those qualities you listed, with the exception of handwork, are not prized among his current profession. It's a lot more difficult when you add in the fact that the most essential time for the brain to take in knowledge is usually up until the age of 18-21 as well as the fact that people usually find they identity at the age of around 28. That puts NFL players in a predicament where all they really know is football and football culture. I just think it's naive and short sighted to think NFL players have all the skills others have since they have been guided and have prioritized a completely different set of ideals.
WoW … a little narrow-minded thinking there bud … sorry but they are not neanderthals … i lived breathed and everything football and i for sure dont think of myself as limited as you listed above … and easily the most important age for the mind is at a much younger age … can't agree with any of your points sorry !
Theyre both basically the same age, Thomas has more experience and he has better size. I think they both have about the same potential and upside, except one has more experience. A change in scenery sometimes helps as well.
I have no idea what their plans were for Woods, but the contracts are basically the same, Thomas' overall is less, but I would think they could've easily retained Al Woods if they wanted to, maybe they see Thomas as a better fit or a better player, who knows
That's an exaggeration with the neanderthal comparison. Have you played football at the highest level. Have you put your entire life into playing football. I know if I was going to be in any professional sport that I wouldn't care nor think about the other facets. It takes so much time and dedication to being a football player on the highest level that I believe it is rather difficult to be as well rounded as others. Does that not seem right?
You are right.They basically are the same but I think as you stated earlier Woods is more versatile. Plus I still think Woods showed improvement last year which gave us hope he can improve even more. No he will never be a starter but his versatility came in real handy with the injuries.
Most of us want to see improvement so if they are going to let players go we would hope it would be an upgrade. This might be a side-grade which is better than a downgrade. They might indeed see Thomas as a better fit but I really doubt that. Who knows. Just hope it works out for us.
there are plenty of careers thats that put in as much if not a lot more time and effort than aspiring and professional football players do … and still well rounded individuals … stop making excuses !
Believe it or not despite his size, I have read a few times that Thomas is somewhat capable of filling in at DE… that has not been substantiated on my part
SD Fan Cam Thomas got good coaching last year and was improving at the end of the year. SD just did not have the money to spend on a #2, when a player in this years draft a third rounder will be almost as good and with coaching. I hope he improves and does a good job for you!

How Old is Cindy Crawford?
by Celebrity
Like us on Facebook
I think Cindy forgot how old she was when she left the house dressed like a 20-year old. No doubt she is a beautiful woman with a fabulous body but should she really be going shopping on Robertson Blvd with no bra?
Lots more pictures of Cindy so

WHERE WEARS...ITS JUST BETTER FOR EVERYONE... nevertheless her face is cute and she has a nicebody.
ephemeral 8 years
yes, she looks fabulous, but the bra-less thing if you're a celebrity is generally not the best idea.. ' Consider it this way, if a guy was wearing no underpants and basketball shorts and you could see his bits, it wouldn't be appreciated much by the general population... so women should follow the same just out of consideration. In Australia, there are a lot of bogans, but pretty much all women still wear bras every day.

Cindy, in this picture and always, looks better than any of the twits half her age, hat or no hat, bra or no bra. They only wish they were as naturally beautiful as she is. Cindy, you kick ass!

I think it's age appropriate except for the hat. If she had a ponytail, we wouldn't be discussing this at all. She looks great for almost 40. It think she's 39.

Def Not A Good Look But She Looks Great For Her Age! She's looking too handsome though like Arnalds wife Maria Shwriver or something like that...

I heard that Randy Gerber had an affair with a cocktail waitress in Vegas and it was quickly swept under the carpet ... That is why Cindy keeps a TIGHT leash on him now ... I just went online to nypost.com to check out Christie Brinkley's wandering dog's girlfriend, she is HOT young girl !! Move over Christie, the 19 year old has it going on ... Of course, she is a wh*re for messing with a married man, but she is pretty ... Haaaaaa !!!

She looks fabulous. Who cares about the bra? The dress would look tacky with bra straps underneath. And I don't think she's wearing any makeup... what a natural beauty! PS - What is worse Posh Spice leaving her shirt undone so everyone can see her bra and cleavage or Cindy going without?
jleegirl 8 years
I think she looks great too. A bra would be a better choice, but at least she's not blinding everyone with headlights or saggy boobs down to her knees...

She looks great and happy, and in the summer who the heck wants to wear a bra?

Come on! Steamy hot summertime gives everyone a pass on fashion, right? but do these photo's remind anyone of Julia Roberts walking down Rodeo Drive in Pretty Woman?
