Paper Football again
A little backstory: My wife Rocky and I were on a long plane ride from Cincinnati to San Francisco. Actually, we started out in Indianapolis, totally the wrong direction to Cincinnati which was for some arcane reason known only to airline route planners, the best way to get there from here. We were sitting next to a sweet fellow named Bob, and, because of the laws of dialog as formulated by the gods of random association, we started talking about football and his son's coach and character building and then, of all things, Paper Football. And, yes, I did in fact write about it already. But it was such a wonderful conversation (Bob made a paper football from a page from the airline magazine) – I mean, it was a bonding, a sharing old school memories, and just seeing that paper football made manifest.
So I found myself driven to writing about the game again, and, looking for it on the Internet, found a great article about the game on Wikipedia, and illustrated paper football-making instructions on Wikihow, and a company called Paper Pigskins, that, for gosh-sake, sells paper footballs, and a Paper Football app already.
Ah, the Internet, and oh, the places you will go, and, wait for it – here's a video explaining everything.

Are there diet pills that we do like? Yes - quite a few actually. When we rate diet pills we look at a variety of factors including: ingredients, customer feedback (which is why we allow you to post your reviews) and the satisfaction guarantee (if there is one). There are a few diet pills that have received extremely high marks across the board, and our favorite is Abidexin. You can go to the official site here.
Weight Loss Pills Scam
They're so confident in their product they are offering you a free tiral? All you have to do is pay for shipping!?!? Don't be a sucker.
These companies aren't confident that you will repurchase their product, they are confident you wont read the fine print. They couldn't care less about the cost of shipping, the only reason they ask for it is so they can get your credit card number. Once you do that they sign you up for a monthly "subscription" to their products.
What, you didn't see it in the fine print?
You can cancle that at any time though, right? WRONG! Although many of these companies will let you cancle hassell free, many people have had problems with canceling their "subscription." They may change adresses, phone numbers, or they may just put you on hold untill you hang up. Many have had to cancle their credit cards to stop monthy charges of up to $120.00 a month.
Sensative To Stimulants?
You're not the only one. Many people have problems handeling a weight loss supplement, a small cup of coffe, or even a can of Coke. One of the biggest complaints about weight loss pills is a feeling called "the jitters." Most poeple can handle it, and most of those who can't will adjust quickly, but there are a select few of you out there than need to look for a stimulant free weight loss pill.
All of the best weight loss pills witll have a stimulant in one form or another. Stimulants allow you to burn more calories. They also give your body more oxygen, allowing you to burn even mroe fat. Obviosuly stimulants are very important in weight loss. Only buy a stimulant free supplement if you know you can't the others.
Alone, No Pill Will Make You Thin
This is a no brainer. If you want to lose 50 pounds you can't just buy a weight loss supplement and expect yourself to lose 10 pounds a month. They will help you, but they aren't a cure. When you combine proper diet, exersise, and weight loss supplements you will lose weight extremely fast in an undamadging fashion.

DDoS mitigation is the only good reason for outsourcing public facing DNS.
It'd be nice to hear some analysis and figures on the new Citrix CSP/SPLA offering and how the model of providing the basics for free and the HA/advanced stuff on a pay-per VM basis might play out once they gain more traction. Especially how the training and certification requirement for CSP might impact income and traction.

Why would they want access? Only terrorists and seriously organised criminals would profit (extortion or destruction) from such an exploit.

Fabulous Fiction Firsts #152
Eve: a novel of the first woman is a luminous and unique retelling of the oldest story in the world - that of Adam and Eve.
First-time novelist Elissa Elliott puts a powerful twist on the biblical narrative, boldly reimagining Eve's journey, from the woman who once tasted the forbidden fruit of paradise to one watching her family unravel right before her eyes. "At once intimate and universal, timely and timeless, it explores the very essence of love, motherhood, faith, and humanity".
For readers of historical fiction depicting women in the Bible, and The Red Tent by Anita Diamant immediately comes to mind.

Worst: The Worst 22 Minute Opening Segment Featuring Three People I Love Ever
I've decided
to … write
this … this paragraph …
/looks around
like AJ spoke in the opening segment of Raw. Look, I've been a supporter of AJ's since long before it was cool. I love what she's been doing lately. I have at times loved CM Punk as much as a wrestling fan can possibly love a wrestler and Daniel Bryan in one form or another has been my favorite pro wrestler in the world for a decade. Most of the time I give Bryan and AJ Bests because I like whatever they do, and I give 2012 CM Punk a lot of Worsts because I know he could do better. I have my taste leanings, and I try to own up to them.
That being said, this opening segment was f**king garbage, and aside from some barely-intentional humor in Daniel Bryan suddenly ALSO proposing marriage, it was a slow, stupid, puerile waste of my time. I am saying this as a dude who is choosing to watch pro wrestling in primetime and write about it later. It set a really dangerous tone for the rest of the night, one the night followed-through on with EXTREME PREJUDICE, and made this dancing happy fantasy from two years ago of Bryan Danielson, CM Punk and cute FCW Divas opening Raw into a wank-gesturing hellscape.
And guess what? The worst part is that by the end of the night, this seemed like a pretty good segment. As far as I can tell, this was the only Best for the first 22 minutes of Raw:
As weird as it sounds, taking Kane out of this angle was a terrible idea.
Worst: Sheamus Is An Asshole
or, Worst: Jack Swagger Should Probably Contact NWA Smoky Mountain
The first 40 seconds of this video is the entire match, by the way.
If you missed Smackdown, Alberto Rio (© Jerry Lawler) attacked Sheamus, draped him over the front of his
rented come on tell them it's rented automobile and slammed the hood across his back. Sheamus is Sheamus and it didn't look like it hurt that badly, but in the world of wrestling the sell is what matters, and Sheamus chose to sell the attack by showing up to Raw perfectly fine and beating Jack Swagger in 40 f**king seconds. The people in the audience waited through a 22 minute conversation about marriage proposals and a 5 minute dead silent commercial break to get 40 seconds of action, a video taunt and 1 more second of action. Then, detective jokes!
But seriously, aside from my schtick about hating him for the Daniel Bryan match at WrestleMania, Sheamus has got to be one of the least morally acceptable babyface World Heavyweight Champions ever. Every time he feuds with somebody he sneaks up on them and attacks them from behind, and here he responds to Alberto Del Rio's taunts by kicking a helpless, non-confrontational and already beaten Jack Swagger in the face. He should just make the total transition and start offering pints of Guinness to the Divas, yelling "OH YA DON'T WANT THAT, DO YAH" at them whether they drink it or not and Brogue Kicking them in the face.
And while we're on the topic of what people should do, Jack Swagger should put his shit in a cardboard box and wait outside until somebody comes to pick him up.
Worst: That's The Same Pipe R-Truth Had In His Mouth, Isn't It
There are only a few things the WWE higher-ups find consistently funny, and one of them is "people dressing up like Sherlock Holmes when they have to solve a mystery". It's the same hat and pipe every time.
People like to point out that Raw's target audience is kids, and that they do a bunch of stuff like this so the kids will laugh, but seriously, what seven-year old in 2012 laughs at f**king Sherlock Holmes jokes? Not even Robert Downey Jr. Sherlock Holmes, I'm talking straight-up magnifying glass to the eye Inspector Clouseau bullshit. Is your seven-year old laughing at this? Hey WWE, what the Nickelodeon laugh track says is funny on iCarly isn't an accurate gauge of what kids are laughing at. This is Santino, for God's sake, the guy with a SNAKE FOR AN ARM and he's putting his face against a production crate because "you are stupid" is the only joke WWE's come up with since 2001.
The least they could've done is have Zack Ryder be meta about it, and break out an "ARE YOU SERIOUS BRO" before disappearing off-screen again to play with action figures on his webcam, or whatever the hell Zack Ryder does with his time these days.
Worst: Awesome, 15 More Seconds Of Tyson Kidd
Tyson Kidd made his second straight appearance on Raw in anticipation of his big Money In The Bank ladder match appearance, and for the second straight week his appearance was kept to sub-30 seconds and ended with plus-30 seconds of him being beaten up. Is it weird to anyone else that WWE only seems to know how to have wrestlers get beaten up AFTER the wrestling match? Wrestling is how wrestlers get hurt. Even Jerry Lawler mentioned how Dolph Ziggler "didn't do anything in that match", and they said it was because he was smart and perfect because they can't say "thirty f**king seconds isn't long enough to feature more than two wrestlers".
The only upside to this is Cole breaking out that "the ring apron is the hardest part of the ring" factoid. You're right, Michael! It's way harder than those four giant rods in the corners or those huge pieces of metal that actually make up the ring's construct and require two or more guys to carry, or the ring steps John Cena tries to convince us weigh 2,000 pounds or the floor under the ring or the security railing around it or that table you're sitting at with the metal monitors that could shock or explode people if wrestlers weren't courteous enough to remove them before trying something. That ring apron is a motherf**ker.
I know Tensai was in Japan long enough to know that ring apron moves don't hurt unless you do them FROM the apron and jump downwards.

One luxury I can't do without is shaving, but I've had it with cheap -- albeit light -- disposable razors. Does anyone know of a decent safety razor that weighs less than an ounce (28.35 grams)?
I've purchased from Giovanni at the Barberia Italiana http://www.razorandbrush.com/indexbarbieria.html before and he sells a wide variety of safety razors.You could try some of his budget razors at the bottom of this page: http://www.razorandbrush.com/barberiaraz.html to see how they work. The plastic ones shouldn't weigh too much.I personally own the treet delrin http://www.razorandbrush.com/Delrin.html and it's not too heavy (as compared to my Merkur's and Weishis) while still being pretty good quality and durable. It only costs $7.50 so you don't have much to lose if you give it a try.
I use BIC -- the el cheapo ones they sell at WalMart, etc.
Maybe try to make a custom plastic handle for a razor like this, you could even try to integrate it with your toothbrush or some other part of your kit.barring that a travel razor might do... Merkur makes a 2.4oz travel razor.
after looking through the link Samuel posted I'd try one of the plastic saftey razors... that can't weight more than 1oz or so.
To each their own. If you feel the need, then definitely take it.I find shaving a pain in the butt, and don't even trim my beard unless I have a business meeting to attend (I work out of my home office most of the time).In another decade, I found that after 'heavy' exercise (such as BPing or running) the sweat irritated my skin after a fresh shave. That is why most pro atheletes shave AFTER the game.I would imagine that Bic's are the lightest. Taking it to the extreme, and looking at multiple use items, could one use a Derma-Safe Folding Utility Knife as a razor too? Who wants to be the first brave soul to try?
I've found that generally, the more we trim our hair (wherever they are found) -- the less we reek. YMMV.
:)And maybe reeking is good! No one will want to hike or camp near you. You get the wilderness to yourself.
Good point. :)
on the subject of irritation.I have to say that after learning to shave properly with a saftey razor I no longer suffer any irritation.that said though, I don't shave in the woods. that's part of the fun.
How bout a big Crocodile Dubdee knife, or an axe. That's Butch!The only good disposable I ever had was a comp on from the desk at a Hilton, so if you have any friends that work at snazzy hotels...
I can't ever imagine wanting to shave in the backcountry, avoiding such annoyances IS one of the luxuries, for me. I guess that's where hiking your own hike comes in though, so...The Gillette Fusion is, by far, the best razor I've ever used. Everyone I've discussed it with agrees, except those partial to electrics.If I had to shave on the trail I'd probably just bring one of the disposable heads with me and use that. It's too late at night for me to bother with trying to get my scale and one of the heads in the same place, but maybe someone more helpful will chime in (or I'll get a chance tomorrow). I'd be shocked if one wasn't well under an ounce.It wouldn't be too hard to rig something that would let you attach a tent stake or pen or something else you'd have with you anyway to it to use as a handle. I've seen someone on here posting pictures of a toothbrush head with a little bit of rubber tubing that they then slip a tent stake into. Or maybe you could just break out the Dremel and cut all but the last inch (or however much you find you need) of the handle off. I'd bet there's a length of handle that would let you shave comfortably while keeping the whole package under an ounce. I could be wrong. Would that be too much like the steroetypical ultralight hiker who cuts the handle off their toothbrush?I'm hoping that helps, and that you let us all know what you end up settling on.

Or, you could drill holes in the handle of a BIC :)A lot of work for a 25 cent item.
I am a big fan of safety razors and straight edge razors and I just weighed all of them. The only one that weighs less than an ounce is my Dovo Shavette. It weighs 28.2 grams including blade.If you already know how to shave with a safety razor you might have the skills to be able to use a straight edge safely.As for irritation? I'll echo that learning to shave properly with a single blade has greatly reduced any irritation I may get. I never understood the point of having more blades. One blade never clogs and quickly notifies you of any imperfections in your technique. And having the precision to remove one hair at a time is quite nice when it comes to lining up those sideburns.

I thought this thread had died aborning; glad I checked back. Thanks for all the tips -- good stuff. I have a friend who used a hunting knife to shave. He didn't get the best results, but he's a macho dude. By the way, do any of you use shaving oil? Any recommendations?Also, I just read about the Avid4 shaving system for travelers and outdoorsmen. Claims to deliver 10 great shaves per cartridge and weighs only half an ounce (about 14 grams). http://www.trafalgarshop.com/catalog_ts/AVID4-Shaving-System-p-16140.html
I have had great success with Jojoba Oil. Jojoba oil is a oil that is very similar to the sebum that our bodies naturally produce so it is very easily absorbed and safe to use. It can be found at any natural market or whole foods trader joe type store.Good luck.
I've been using a product called "Ultrashave" every day for the past ten years and have found nothing that does as well in protecting my skin from razor burn or keeping my skin moist after the shave. It's basically a base oil and essential oils mixture that quite a few companies now make. Only a few drops are necessary for shaving and lasts all day long. So little is necessary that it's great for UL travel. I couldn't find the Ultrashave Shaving Oil website from which I purchased my stash, but here is another one that is almost identical.edit: I knew my memory was faulty! The product I use is called Ultimate Shave.

I've been using Shave Secret with an Panasonic Wet/Dry for about a year and it's great stuff. I get it at Wally's:http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10324376Should be great for shaving while backpacking.
This is an excerpt from a poem called Saltbush Bill's Second Fight by nineteenth century Aussie poet Banjo Paterson. For a good chuckle at some very funny poetry, read the whole thing for why it's not always advisable to trust clean-shaven blokes in the back country... 'Twas Stingy Smith on his stockyard sat, and prayed for an early spring, When he stared at sight of a clean-shaved tramp, who walked with jaunty swing; For a clean-shaved tramp with a jaunty walk a-swinging along the track Is as rare a thing as a feathered frog on the desolate roads outback. So the tramp he made for the traveler's' hut, and asked could he camp the night; But Stingy Smith had a bright idea, and he said to him, "Can you fight?" Why, what's the game?" said the clean-shaved tramp, as he looked at him up and down "If you want a battle get off that fence, and I'll kill you for half-a-crown!

This period does not last.

The targeting of thousands of Christians and other religious minorities can never be justified in the name of any religious creed or conviction, said Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople.
Faith leaders can show another way to war and violence, says Bartholomew, Ecumenical Orthodox Patriarch of Constantinople.
The Archbishop of Canterbury backed reconciliation of Eastern and Western churches when he met with Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew.
Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby will travel to Istanbul on 13 January to visit Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew.
Bartholomew I was the first Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople to attend a papal installation since the great schism of 1054.
Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I says there must be respect for the "inherent rights of all human beings and their aspiration and rights of religious freedom."
The patriarchs of three ancient Orthodox Christian churches have met in Istanbul to discuss the situation of Christian minorities in the Middle East.
Leaders from five historic centres of Christianity in the eastern Mediterranean region have met to discuss matters of regional and global concern.
Differences over arcane church issues are preventing Orthodox churches getting together to discuss common issues and speak with one voice on major topics.
Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomeos I of Constantinople has left Russia after a 10-day visit praised by his hosts for strengthening relations with the Russian Orthodox Church.

Warner had some spare change hanging around, apparantly
Potentially interesting stuff.
If they mess this up I'll cry. But I trust Jeff Smith knows what he's doing. He turned down alot of opportunities in the past to make this a film because he knew they'd mess it up.
They better do a trilogy because squeezing this into one film would really water the whole thing down.
I guess we won't know until someone gets hold of the script, but I'm being hopeful about it until I have no other choice. I doubt they have any kind of multi-film contract about it though. It'll be a 'produce the first and see if it sinks or swims' setup, if that.
@Guybrush Threepwood said: I'd much prefer it to be animated over live action.
I agree. But if it's animated, I don't think CG could do it justice.
Mh... I've gotta admit I can't decide if I prefer it to be animated or live action... both ideas sound appealing to me. Having just the Bones (and several creatures of course) CG and the rest live action might be my preference though... not sure...
OH YES IM ANGRY! NICK TRYED TO MAKE A MOVIE BUT WITH POP SONGS BY BRITTNEY SPEARS AN NSNYC CAN U IMAGINE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad::mad:
THANKS jeff for turning down the offer fone bone is saved!!!:p:)
From the Dark Horizons report:
"An animated version was previous in development at Nickelodeon Films but fell through due to the studio wanting to make a kiddie-orientated film complete with pop songs."
That's probably what #1bone fan is talking about.

'Bust The Bus' Food Drive
For the sixth consecutive year, bus operators, maintenance workers and mechanics from Local 1039 of the Amalgamated Transit Union will join forces with Kroger and the Greater Lansing Food Bank to wage war against hunger.
The local, representing more than 200 union employees at the Capital Area Transportation Authority, will collect nonperishable food items and cash donations Saturday, April 19th from 8:00AM until 3:00PM at two Kroger locations: 4884 Marsh Road in Okemos and 1550 W. Lake Lansing Road in East Lansing. A 40-foot CATA bus will serve as a collection vehicle at each participating Kroger store.
"Many of us don't realize the tens of thousands of individuals in our community are far too often forced to choose between eating and taking care of critical necessities," explained Katie Kelley, spokesperson for the local. "Utility bills, medical expenses and rent can leave households with little to nothing for food."
Kroger shoppers are encouraged to purchase nonperishable groceries and turn in their donations to the CATA bus. Area residents may also drop off donations at either Kroger locations.
Last year, Local 1039 raised 1,300 pounds of food and $1,400 in cash donations.
"We'd like to beat that this year," Kelley added. "We're not winning the war, but we're putting up a pretty good fight."
Proceeds will benefit the Greater Lansing Food Bank.

'Big Bang Theory' Set Visit: Are Leonard and Penny Headed for a Big Break-Up?
by Laura Prudom, posted Mar 24th 2010 3:00PM
From Ross and Rachel to Booth and Brennan, "will they/won't they" couples have become a staple part of our TV diet, with shows often dangling the carrot of love above viewers' heads right up until the very last episode. But CBS' geektastic comedy 'The Big Bang Theory' is way too smart (literally) for that, deciding to forgo the frustration and get right down to the romance after finally hooking up nerdy Leonard (Johnny Galecki) and vivacious Penny (Kaley Cuoco) at the start of season three.
But the course of true love never did run smooth. AOL TV recently stopped by the 'Big Bang Theory' set to get the inside scoop from all five 'Big Bang' cast members, and we think fans will be surprised by what they had to say. Check out our spoilertastic interview after the jump.
From Ross and Rachel to Booth and Brennan, "will they/won't they" couples have become a staple part of our TV diet, with shows often dangling the carrot of love above viewers' heads right up until the very last episode. But CBS' geektastic comedy 'The Big Bang Theory' is way too smart (literally) for that, deciding to forgo the frustration and get right down to the romance after finally hooking up nerdy Leonard (Johnny Galecki) and vivacious Penny (Kaley Cuoco) at the start of season three.
But the course of true love never did run smooth. AOL TV recently stopped by the 'Big Bang Theory' set to get the inside scoop from all five 'Big Bang' cast members, and we think fans will be surprised by what they had to say. Check out our spoilertastic interview after the jump.
Fans aren't the only ones who were relieved by the quick resolution of the Leonard/Penny tension; the actors who play them were equally eager to get the ball rolling on the relationship. "I think it's great," enthused Cuoco, dressed pretty in pink on the set. "It's more realistic, I think. I love the first episode they got together, when they were drunk -- I'm sorry, but it happens! You get drunk, you make out with your friends, it gets weird, then it's not weird. I think it was brilliant."
Galecki was quick to agree: "[It's] been done so many times when it comes to romantic dynamics within a cast, and it's been done really well. I was a bit surprised [it happened so early], but pleasantly."
Although the entire cast tried to stay coy on the subject of spoilers, a few hints slipped out that spell trouble for the show's star-crossed couple. "There will be some turmoil ahead for Penny and Leonard ... beyond that I don't know what I can say, I have to be vague about it!" Galecki teased, though he at least had the decency to be apologetic.
Cuoco, on the other hand, threw caution to the wind when she revealed, "It has to end at some point. [There are] troubles ahead -- I think it's Penny more [struggling] at this point. She's starting to deeply realize that maybe he is the one, but not right now. She's not so sure of what she wants, and I think the minute she loses Leonard, she's going to regret it for a long time."
Yikes. Sounds like a case of "when," not "if," on a split between beauty and the geek, but all is not lost -- Galecki was optimistic that the relationship will ebb and flow and bring the pair back together eventually. "I think they're still very far from being able to truly click. They both have so much to learn before they can meet on equal territory," he observed. "I think they'll stray and then rekindle with newfound lessons learned and newfound confidence -- I hope so."
But what will a break-up mean for the group dynamic we've all come to know and love from the 'Big Bang Theory' gang? The charming Kunal Nayyar (who has no trouble talking to women, unlike his shy alter-ego Raj) pointed out just how codependent this group has become. "The five of them can't live without each other; these guys can't live without Penny either now."
Cuoco confirmed that the writers are working hard not to lose the relationship between all five characters that makes up the heart of the show, but there is one group member in particular who will take the break-up harder than most. "We have an episode coming up, Johnny and I are fighting in it, so it's kind of like, who has custody of Sheldon?" she laughed. "It's funny 'cause we don't realize how much of a big part of Sheldon's life Penny is now -- she's really become a mother to him."
We've seen Penny attempt to tone down Sheldon's wardrobe, take care of him while he's sick, drive him around on comic book errands and sing him creepy lullabies. "She's probably the only person that's that nice to him," Cuoco noted. "Even the guys can't stand him [sometimes], but she really has a soft spot for him and the audience loves that."
The actors apparently love it too. The genial and effortlessly eloquent Jim Parsons was full of praise for the scenes he is able to play opposite Cuoco. "Any time they stick Sheldon with Penny, I really enjoy it, it's so fun to do," he said. "I think that they write really well for those two characters together ... there's something about acting with [Kaley] that's just really easy. She's a wonderful verbal dancing partner."
But fans hoping for a Sheldon/Penny hook-up in the wake of her break-up with Leonard are liable to be disappointed; Cuoco was quick to quash any wishful thinking. "They love [the thought] because it's so not realistic; it's not going to happen, so they want it to happen," she said. "Then if it did, they wouldn't want it anymore. I always imagined it might be in a nightmare sequence -- but nothing more than that!"
Leonard and Penny aren't the only couple that might be on the rocks. The slightly homoerotic bromance between Raj Koothrappali and Howard Wolowitz (Simon Helberg) is also suffering a few setbacks, since Howard finally found himself a real girlfriend.
"I think there could be some jealousy on Koothrappali's part," Helberg wryly agreed. "They've been delicate with that, because I know it's a fine line between the bromance and then the closeted relationship! You'll see [Raj] start to reach out to Leonard or Sheldon as a wing man because I'm gone. And we're probably not spending as many Sundays in the park or fighting about who left the toilet seat up, or whatever."
"He's just sad and he's alone, and I think he takes it out by being whiny and bitchy like a little girlfriend," Nayyar said with a smirk. "He's stuck with Sheldon, who doesn't want to pick up girls. And Wolowitz is his life, his bromance with Wolowitz. It's teetering on ... you know, it seems like they are going to make out or something." Nayyar gave a nonchalant shrug. "I'll go there, I mean, I'll do anything for the show."
Helberg wasn't quite so enthusiastic about the prospect of locking lips with his on-screen BFF. "Bill [Prady, one of the show's creators] was telling us [that] there are literally will-they-or-won't-they blogs about Koothrappali and Wolowitz," he confided, shaking his head. "I don't want to disappoint, but I am not a piece of meat!"
As for a romantic interest for Sheldon outside of Penny, Parsons doesn't think fans should rule it out entirely, even if he's not interested in serving as Raj's wing man. "There's a certain out-of-control element to falling in love, to the whirlwind of it. I think it would be fun, as a viewer, to watch this character get swept up off his feet when very little surprises him," he mused. "I think ... he would enjoy that, and we would enjoy watching him do that, and I would enjoy playing it."
In addition to that cavalcade of dating spoilers, we were also able to unearth some hints about the reappearance of Sheldon's greatest nemesis, actor Wil Wheaton. "He puts something into motion that has drastic consequences," Nayyar teased, before amending, "Well, not drastic, but he definitely puts something into motion. It's Wil Wheaton! He's conniving, I'll tell you that much."
Parsons admitted that one of the best aspects of Wheaton's recurring role was that finally, someone is able to beat Sheldon at his own game: "Sheldon wins a lot of the time, so it's nice to have a good person come on and always get the best of him, because the rest of them don't always," he observed.
The fact that Wheaton is such a genuinely great guy -- according to all of the cast -- only makes his position as Sheldon's foil more ironic, in Parsons' opinion.
"Of course one of the main enemies in Sheldon Cooper's life is such a nice person – with all the real evil in the world, he's gone after Wil Wheaton," Parsons sighed exasperatedly. "The things Sheldon will concern himself with and then not concern himself with amaze me. Love isn't worth the time of day, but a 20-year-old hate grudge against Wil Wheaton is worth exploring in a couple of different episodes."
With only a few episodes to go until the season finale and all this drama left to unfold, it sounds like 'The Big Bang Theory' more than qualifies as unmissible television in the weeks to come. Will you be watching? Extrapolate your 'Big Bang' love in the comments below!

'It is about working together and adapting'
Posted: February 28, 2013|
I think 2007 was a wake-up call for local authorities nationally.
A lot of partnership work has been done since then, some of which has been about bringing investment to mitigate future risk.
It is about bringing together everyone who is involved and seeing how we can adapt to living with water.
For example, at the Kings Arm in York, the landlord even serves beer during floods, up to a point. He has moved all of his barrels to the first floor and has flood defences, and the tourists think it's brilliant. It is about adapting. If we put water barrels in every council house in Hull- and I am not saying we will – that could be one solution for making the water do what we want it to.

Storing luggage in London
Where can I store luggage for reasonable cost in London?
Where can I store luggage for reasonable cost in London?
Some of the railway stations have left luggage offices and if you google you can find which ones and the cost. Whether you will consider the cost reasonable or not I cannot say. Most luggage lockers have a max. time for storage, like 72 hours or something like that.
You only said London. I can tell you that my son stored a footlocker at Heathrow T5 for 3 nights, I forget exact price but it's on LHR's web page. No hassle involved, including retrieving it before his flight home.
Left Luggage has a list of all places to leave luggage in London and the airports.
Your hotel
Last year we had this problem and needed to leave stuff for 4 weeks. Airport was VERY expensive. The hotel we stayed at very kindly kept it for free, even though we were not using them on our return. Most kind of them and saved us a fortune. We would have been cheaper sending it home, as the Gatwick luggage storage place suggested, except there would have been no one to collect it!

(PP120) Hyperbaric oxygen improves survival of irradiated CNS astrocytes and neurons.

ABSTRACT- Radiation and surgery remain the most common and effective treatment for malignant brain tumors. However, the efficacy of radiation treatment continues to limited by the radiation tolerance of the normal brain that surrounds the tumor. Although far from being optimized there is now considerable patient data which suggests hyperbaric oxygen therapy can effectively spare some of the complications associated with brain irradiation. Although relatively little is known about the molecular and/or cellular effects of HBO, it is now used routinely to rescue normal tissues that are poorly vascularized (e.g. diabetes complications) or are at risk for complications from irradiation. In these studies we focus on understanding the molecular mechanisms and optimization of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) sparing of irradiated normal brain tissue. Preliminary findings include : 1. Numerous brain irradiation studies (including our own)have shown astrocytes proliferate following conventional therapeutic brain irradiation. 2. HBO given after radiation improves astrocytes survival as compared to no HBO or HBO given before or simultaneously with radiation. 3. Clonogenic studies indicate that the survival of irradiated CNSA (astrocytes from CNS)increased significantly (84.6%)when exposed to 1.5 ATA of HBO five days following irradiation, 5 Gy at a dose rate of 100 rads/min. No significant changes were observed when was HBO given before or simultaneously with radiation or in other cultured CNS cells (endothelial cells or oligodendrocytes) 4. A significant decrease in ERK1, FAK, p38 MAPK, and PKR was observed following HBO treatment of irradiated CNSA cells. Although it is still unclear how this finding relates to increased astrocyte and neuron survival, it is possible that these phosphoproteins (especially MPAK) have a role in the functionality of the astrocytes. 5. Histomorphometric studies in irradiated and/or HBO treated mouse brains confirmed the in vitro study results. There was a significant increase in the survival of astrocytes and neurons in irradiated brain tissues(5 x 6 Gy) which received a 1.5 hour HBO treatment (1.5 ATA) 21 days following irradiation.
Key words: brain, radiation injury, hyperbaric oxygen, tissue sparing

Claude Monet
Claude Monet (1840-1926) exemplified Impressionism more completely and pushed it further than any other painter. The style's radicalism lay in the determination to paint not just reality but the seeing of reality, the act of perception itself, by showing how light, especially bright light, tended to dissolve the colors and forms of the world. The key to this effect lay in spontaneous, broken, skipping brushwork — preferably registered in paint applied in front of the subject, en plein air.
The images produced are so familiar now that it's possible to forget that Impressionism created a newly complex awareness for its original viewers. The experience of light was enhanced, but so was the physical assertiveness of the painted surface. Paint and reality co-existed in heightened tension.
In terms of sheer physical gifts Monet was superbly skilled at maintaining this tension. Cézanne's famous summing up is still the best: Monet, he said, "is only an eye, but good God, what an eye." — From "Monet Arrives and Ripens," by Roberta Smith, The New York Times, May 4, 2007

Netflix plans to move DVD service into Qwikster
I just got what I thought was a nice email from Reed Hastings who is the CEO and co-founder of Netflix. It at first starts out as an apology for not communicating why they were separating the DVD and streaming prices. Hastings then goes on to say how he wants to grow the streaming business and feels that is the way he will define Netflix and set it apart.
Hastings states how important the DVD service Netflix provides is important due to DVD being a popular format for movie publishing. He also acknowledges that many of Netflix members enjoy the DVD mailing service as well. Once again he points out how many members including himself enjoy the streaming options as well.
The email then shocked me by explaining that the two services will be split into two separate services and apparently businesses. The DVD mail service will be renamed to Qwikster while Netflix will be purely for video streaming. If you subscribe to both services you will have two separate entries on your credit card statement now. The claim is that there will be no price increase for separating into the two different businesses but then again they did already go through a price increase already that got some heated reviews by members.
The good news that was actually mentioned is that the new service, Qwikster, will have an add-on option if you want to rent video games. Hastings claims that many members have been asking for this option and he feels that with this new business model Qwikster can provide this.
Now many Netflix members are probably wondering what is the next step for them. Qwikster, Netflix, both or perhaps this may be the last step and they choose neither. There are already other services out there that provide DVD's such as Redbox and there are plenty of other streaming companies as well that are trying to compete with Netflix.
I haven't figured out what I plan on doing yet. What are your comments?

Swagbucks is a site that allows you to earn money, prizes, and "swagbucks" just by searching the internet, taking surveys, and referring friends etc. Have you ever heard of Google? If you haven't you should stop reading now. But I am sure all of you have. Well like Google, Swagbucks is a search engine, that wait for it, lets you earn money, prizes, and swagbucks which can convert to money or gift cards for using their search engine. Most of us are online at some point through out the day. Why not get get paid or receive a prize for doing so? Sounds like the perfect opportunity to me. Ok so lets break Swagbucks down:
How do you earn with Swagbucks?
- Type the website www.SwagBucks.com into your web browser and get comparable search results as Google and Yahoo.
- When you use the search engine you will periodically win Swagbucks for searching (they can range from as little as 5 Swagbucks to as much as 1000. I suggest searching each day or multipe times a day until you receive your hard earned Swagbucks. These Swagbucks can translate into cash from paypal, gift cards to your favorite companies, or prizes…
- Take surveys, watch videos, try products and participate in games to receive Swagbucks.
- Swagbucks will also allow you to earn Swagbucks for your friends that you refer (1st tier). There is a 1000 swagbucks referral limit for each person you referral. If you have enough referrals under your belt, you can let them collect your Swagbucks for you!!!
- Swagbucks let's you trade in old video games, cell phones, and video consoles to earn Swagbucks.
- When shopping in the Swagbucks mall with affilated companies, such as Walmart or Best Buy, you can earn double the value of the dollars you spent. Great right? So lets you buy a TV for $300 dollars, you can earn 600 Swagbucks..
- Download Swagbucks toolbar and receive 1 Swagbuck per day just from your launching your browser. Pretty easy!
Swagbucks Pros
- Swagbucks is completey free. Your success with thier program is entirely up to you!!!
- The Referral program allows you to benefit from someone else's Searching. If you have active Referrals who are "Swagging" alot, you will be able to redeem your Swagbucks in no time. It's like getting paid to brush your teeth in the morning, you gonna do it anyway… If you don't that's another issue I can't address in this article.
- Swagbucks makes web surfing fun and entertaining by having hidden swagcodes embedded in their website. Once you find a code you can redeem it for some more Swag points.
- You can fill out surveys offered on Swagbucks to earn as little 5 Swagbucks to 500 Swagbucks.
- You are web surfing anyway, might as get paid for it!!
Swagbucks Cons
- Swagbucks Referral Program has a cap of 1000 Swagbucks. If your referral has earned 5000 swagbucks for Swagsurfing, you will only earn 1000 Swagbucks. But hey you earned 1000 swagbucks for doing nothing, so it's not a complete lost right?
- When you do earn enough Swagbucks to lets say get a gift card or cash through paypal, it is not an instant retrieval. You will wait some time ( a couple of weeks) to receive your hard earned reward, however you will receive it!!!!
- Depending on how diligent you are with Swagbucks, it might take sometime to earn enough swagbucks to redeem cash or prizes.
Here it is folks. I think Swagbucks is a great opportunity for anybody to earn some serious rewards by Surfing the web. There is no start up cost for you to join!! In others FREE!!! I know we are usually skeptical when things are free, but I have redeemed my rewards a few times and besides some wait time, I was not disappointed. So try Swagbucks out and let me know how it works for you! Remember invite your friends and family, so you don't have to work so hard…!!!!!!

Barnstable's police unions fired some cheap shots at taxpayers last week, mimicking Dick Cheney's scare-the pants-off-'em strategy, all to evidently protect their members from the cuts and sacrifices required of all municipal departments and taxpayers at large to confront temporary hard times.
About halfway through the 1989 smash Batman, Jack Nicholson's Joker scowled down at greater Gotham, scrunched up his cartoonish face and growled: "This town needs an enema!"

It may not be a good idea to get behind the wheel of a boat after you've been drinking. A bill sitting on Illinois Governor Pat Quinn's desk would give authorities the right to suspend someone's driver's license if they're busted for being under the influence of drugs or alcohol while boating. A first-time offender who refuses to take a sobriety test could lose their license for a year and those who take the test, but show intoxication, could lose their license for six months. Governor Quinn has until the end of July to sign the bill.

Abstract. Multilevel modeling techniques were used with a sample of 643 students enrolled in 37 secondary school classrooms to predict future student achievement (controlling for baseline achievement) from observed teacher interactions with students in the classroom, coded using the Classroom Assessment Scoring System— Secondary. After accounting for prior year test performance, qualities of teacher interactions with students predicted student performance on end-of-year standardized achievement tests. Classrooms characterized by a positive emotional climate, with sensitivity to adolescent needs and perspectives, use of diverse and engaging instructional learning formats, and a focus on analysis and problem solving were associated with higher levels of student achievement. Effects of higher quality teacher–student interactions were greatest in classrooms with fewer students. Implications for teacher performance assessment and teacher effects on achievement are discussed.

For the rules, details and absentee ballot requests, see the Iowa secretary of states website: http://sos.iowa.gov/elections/electioninfo/
Happy Election Day!
Oh, you thought you had 40 more days of blaring TV ads, annoying robo-calls and avoiding eye contact with that neighbor with 100 campaign yard signs?
Well, yeah. The ads, calls and other annoyances arent going away until Nov. 6. But starting today, Iowa voters can start pushing all that to the background of their consciousness by voting early.
Plenty of Iowans 176,059 as of Wednesday morning had already put in requests for absentee ballots. Many more will be starting to vote today at county auditors offices and satellite voting stations around the state. In 2008, 545,739 Iowans voted absentee, or about 36 percent.
To be more precise, plenty of Democrats have put in requests for absentee ballots: five for every one GOP ballot requested so far. Democrats had requested 114,585 ballots compared to 22,364 for Republicans and 38,959 no-party ballots, according to the Iowa secretary of states office. And if youre doing the math yourself, there were 151 other party ballots requested.
In the 4th Congressional District, the most Republican in the state by registration, theres a 4-to-1 ratio of Democratic ballot requests to Republican. In the Democrat-leaning 1st District, the ratio is 6.5-to-1.
So is this dire news for Republicans at a time when some polls are showing President Obama with a lead over Mitt Romney in Iowa? Not really. Republicans in Iowa still tend to resist early voting, but they usually outnumber Democrats in turnout on Election Day. Iowa Republicans also say their main vote-by-mail push starts later this week and will be ongoing.
Absentee ballot requests arent votes in the bank. Every single one of those requests is a promise to vote. They have to be followed up. They have to be targeted, Iowa Democratic Party Chairwoman Sue Dvorsky said. The Obama campaign and the state party are using social media and other online tools to track voters and encourage the already-voted to recruit others.
There are tangible benefits for both parties in early voting, which is why Republicans have worked to improve their efforts over the past few cycles. Campaigns dont have to keep hounding people who have already voted and can concentrate on the dwindling number of undecided and marginal voters. On Election Day, when most people still vote, they can concentrate their efforts on a smaller percentage of their electorate. Early voters are immune from last-ditch negative attacks, efforts to depress turnout and events that can shift opinions.
On the other hand, Republicans say they are spending less money on reliable voters who will show up at the polls of their own accord, so they can concentrate a greater share of their resources on those marginal voters. As Iowans saw in 2010, that approach can work just fine.
But thats weeks away. Having a lead in early voting requests benefits Democrats right now. Weve been hearing them talk for months now about their organizational strength in Iowa, while Republicans have built a lead in voter registration. With Iowa in the spotlight as the first swing state to start voting, this gives Democrats a chance to show some tangible evidence of that to the national TV cameras.
Im generally an Election Day voter. Its useful for me as a journalist to see what turnout is like at my precinct. But for Iowans who are sick to death of the campaign, theres a certain satisfaction in being able to say to that annoying neighbor: Thanks, but Ive already voted.

Fort McAllister (1)
Fort McAllister (1) (1861-1865) - A Confederate U.S. Civil War Coastal Fort established in 1861 by Captain John McCrady, Confederate Engineers to protect Savannah, Georgia. Named after the family of Colonel Joseph L. McAllister. Captured by Union forces in 1864 by the forces of Union General William T. Sherman in his march to the sea. Maintained as a Union prison until the end of the war.
Fort McAllister (1) History
Established by Confederate forces as a part of the Confederate U.S. Civil War Harbor Defense of Savannah.
This was an earthworks fortification built in 1861 on the plantation of Confederate Lieutenant Colonel Joseph L. McAllister. The fort was built to prevent access to Savannah by Union naval forces and successfully held off Union bombardments from seaward. The earthworks construction enabled quick repair of damage caused by the bombardments. Fort McAllister was armed with 11 large caliber siege guns, 12 field pieces and one 10" mortar. The fort successfully held off seven Union attacks until an assault was mounted from the land side on 13 Dec 1864 by the forces of Union General William T. Sherman in his march to the sea. The fort had not been constructed to hold off a full scale attack from the land side and it fell after a 15 minute battle.
The fort was maintained as a prison by Union forces for captured Confederate troops until the end of the war.
Current Status
Now a part of Fort McAllister Historic State Park, Bryan County, Georgia. Period guns, carriages and magazines in place. Must See.

OGDENSBURG - Breathing is something that most people take for granted. But for Owen Benjamin Provencher, every breath is precious.
Owen, 4, suffers an incurable genetic disease called cystic fibrosis. Thick, sticky mucus clogs his lungs, making it difficult for him to breathe. The excess mucus also makes it difficult for Owens body to absorb nutrients in his food and depletes his body of salt, putting him at risk for dehydration.
A common cold can be devastating for someone like Owen. In November, he spent two weeks in the hospital and three months fighting illness.
He takes 18 medications and receives at least three hours of breathing treatments daily to help him stay healthy, said Owens grandmother, Nancy Rudiger, Ogdensburg. But to him, its so normal, he doesnt notice.
Since Owen was diagnosed at two weeks old, he has taken a variety of medications. Mrs. Rudiger said that with each new medicine, Owens chance for survival improves.
All the money the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation receives is put towards the research for these drugs, said Mrs. Rudiger. But because the disease is so rare, very little attention is paid to it outside the CF community.
Mrs. Rudiger said she first heard of cystic fibrosis from a fellow colleague at Ogdensburg Free Academy who had a daughter with the disease, but, at the time, she did not comprehend the diseases severity.
Its one of those things, you dont know how terrible it is until it happens to someone you know, said Mrs. Rudiger.
Mrs. Rudiger said raising awareness about cystic fibrosis was one of the reasons why she organized the Great Strides Walk during Mays Great Strides Month in Ogdensburg. This is the second year Mrs. Rudiger has organized the walk.
Last year, the event raised over $18,000 towards cystic fibrosis research with teams from Massena, Norwood, Potsdam, Canton and Harrisville. This year, were hoping to top that, said Mrs. Rudiger.
The Great Strides Walk is Saturday. Registration starts at 10 a.m. and the walk begins at 11 a.m. at the Dobisky Visitors Center, Ogdensburg.
The walk is 1 to 3.5 miles.
Refereshments will be available before, during and afterward.
Of every dollar raised, 90 cents goes towards cystic fibrosis research.
I think it is one of the blessings of living in the north country, Mrs. Rudiger said. People always pull together to help one another.
There will also be a lasagna dinner to benefit cystic fibrosis research from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Tuesday at Methodist Church on Montgomery Street. The dinner is $8 for adults, $5 for children.
For more information about cystic fibrosis and the great strides walk or to make a donation, visit
www.cff.org. To register for the walk contact Nancy Rudiger at 528-0193 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Every now and then one of our favorite style stars will make a sartorial decision we can't help but regret on their behalf. Sometimes its a bad dress, an unsightly 'do, or garish makeup — but today's offender is Alexa Chung and her studded, strappy, pointy-toed beige flats.
We love Alexa Chung, her style, her Madewell collection and her ability to make even clogs look good, but we just cannot wrap our heads around these shoes. While writing this, we spent some time trying to think of people who could pull off an aggressively pointed flat — and came up empty handed. Kate Moss could probably do them some justice, but they generally look cheap, uncomfortable, and have a tendency to make even the hippest of wearers look dowdy. Do you agree?
