Whenever we cruise into town to host an event, there's always a crowd waiting to see how wild things get. The mood was more mellow this time around, when we filmed on location at a small college town bar. We met up with this petite cutie who preferred to be naked because it was "sooo hot". Ironically, our GGw cameraman decided to give her a long-sleeve shirt in reply. See more wild, behind the scenes video when you join and get access to the Member's area.
When prompted to squish their boobs together, these two busty young blonde girls didn't hesitate. They were having fun all night long and we wanted to see if they'd like to be on Girls Gone Wild to help make the night memorable. They of course agreed and graciously flashed their perky, busty breasts for our camera.
Body shots are always a good idea. We toured around the wildest bars, and found that girls doing body shots was a reoccurring sight. And that's not something we'd complain to the health inspector about. In fact, the Girls Gone Wild crew tends to prefer drinks served straight from the belly button of a cute college girl.
This video right here, this one, is going to make you never want to stay at home on a Thursday night when you can be going out to some wild events. Even better if it's a GGW hosted event. This long-legged brunette is one of the wildest we've seen in a while. She completely owned that dance floor within a few seconds of stepping in. Sure, we've seen lots of girls dancing before, but rarely is she as skilled as this babe. When you're done seeing the clip, all you're going to say to yourself is: I want one. So much happens in this video, so pay attention to all of the little details: the way her sexy, perky tits pop out. Her tight, round ass poking out from beneath her plaid skirt. And of course, the way she moves those hips and legs. The crowd was left speechless, and so were we.
Girls who obsess over boob size fail to appreciate the true beauty of natural breasts. These two party girls were getting ready to take their tops off in exchange for a new Girls Gone Wild tank top, when one of them started having doubts. She said her boobies were too small, to which our cameraman quickly pointed out that they were in fact very nice looking and well-proportioned. Check out this clip and see if she's got nice boobies or if she's right in thinking she needs implants.
Dance clubs are for dancing. That's why the music is so loud: the best way to communicate is by body language. See if you can tell what this sexy girl is trying to say by the way she's dancing. See more videos of Girls Dancing by clicking on the tag link.
In some cities, dance clubs are banned because things just get too wild and out of hand for the locals to handle. This is one of those clubs, and it sure wasn't a family-friendly place. Watch as these girls totally lose their minds, stripping and dancing with reckless abandon.

5.0 stars 26 totalReview Shelley Kester
Posted by Chris
One word best describes Shelley Kester - Amazing!
Shelley's professionalism and knowledge led me in the right direction in my recent divorce. She is well respected in the professional community which was evident in our court proceedings. Shelley and her staff made me feel extremely comfortable and I knew that my best interest was at heart. Not an e-mail or a call was ever NOT returned in a timely manner. I was very blessed to have Shelley represent me.
Posted by Renell
Ms. Kester represented me in my divorce case. What could have been a long and arduous divorce, Shelley and her staff made the transition very smooth and swift. Shelley gave me expert advice as well as always being reachable either by phone or after hours e-mails. When she and her staff said they would have something done by a certain day or time they always would. I very much enjoyed working with Shelley and her staff and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone!

I've had experience with a few other attorneys, but none have left me as pleased as Shelley Kester and her law firm. Ms. Kester and her associates provided me the best legal advice in the time when I needed it most. My inquiries and concerns were always promptly and thoroughly addressed, even after regular business hours. Ms. Kester is extremely knowledgeable in the area of family law, and her experience and guidance have been worth every penny to me in my child custody case. While Ms. Kester is meticulous, thorough, analytical, and diligent, I appreciate her transparency most. She never makes promises she cannot deliver, and she is honest in her assumptions and predictions in how matters in a case may go. Her reliability and trustworthiness make her an asset to her clients in the times when they are most vulnerable. I would highly recommend Ms. Kester to anyone who is serious about their family legal matters.

My case was especially challenging given the distance between myself and my co-parent mixed in with the job witch took me half way around the world six months out of the year. I contacted Ms. Kester from Afghanistan quite simply asking if I could somehow get my case moved to MI and also if I could get a schedule for visitation vice simply being at the mercy of my co-parents schedule. What I ended up with was far beyond that I received 50/50 custody and 130 overnights a year despite my co-parent residing in another state. Ms. Kester and her staff treated me like I was part of their family from the start and continue to do so to this day. Recently I simply asked for some advice and the response I received was one of a concerned "friend" not one of a lawyer who simply wanted a check. I would highly recommend Ms. Kester.

I believe that it was this site and her high reviews that made me make the decision to go with Ms. Kester as my divorce attorney. Overall I cannot say that I would have been better off with another attorney but I did have some issues with this attorney. Interestingly her secretary at that time told me they were not taking new cases but they changed their mind when I told them about our assets of about $500K. One of my first problems was when I dropped off two copies of about 1000 pages of documents that related to my wife's attorneys 'discovery'. Those documents were to be sent to my wife's attorney immediately. Three months later I found out from my wife's attorney the documents were never provided. The secretary told me that they had had some change over in personnel and that the documents were misplaced. I had to provide additional copies of documents that were already provided and it made me look poorly and uncooperative to the opposing attorney and my ex wife. Another issue I had was when Ms. Kester billed me for scanning and emailing these documents at her much higher service rate, when a secretary could have done that at half of the cost. Again these were documents that I had already provided once and had to again and that were late going to the opposing attorney. The next problem was that I was being double billed by their billing person, interestingly there were charges for the exact same service that were on the end of one months bill were then being billed on the beginning of the next months bill. I brought this to their attention and corrections were made. There was a changeover in the billing person as well that probably led to confusion but some of these errors being made were just sloppy accounting as far as I could see. I also noticed charges for looking at emails were made for emails not sent and I was charged for a telephone consult that never happened. Again these corrections were made in my bill but not until after I brought these to their attention. Putting me in this position as a client is not at all comfortable and I was concerned it would negatively impact the lawyer client relationship so I decided to wait on making further billing complaints. This was a mistake as I didn't realize it but there was a clause in the contract I signed with Ms. Kester that stated I had a certain number of days to contest any charge and if I did not contest it in the proper time then I would have to pay it whether it was correct or not. That is what happened in the end. Another problem that cost me over $2000 was in regards to my Michigan Teacher retirement account. Ms. Kester failed to file the correct paperwork with the judge and consequentially what went to the Michigan Office of Retirement Services was not acceptable. As an attorney specializing in divorce cases I assumed she would have experience with that and if she did not she would investigate it properly. The information was easily accessible online at the ORS website. This cost me in several months of reduced pension benefit, plus the attorney costs in correcting this in having the judge sign the proper paperwork. All in all my divorce experience was miserable. On the upside Ms. Kester did not do anything dishonest or counsel me to do so, though this seemed to be no problem for my wife's attorney who was also from Traverse City. She is intelligent but needs to be more conscientious about her individual client and make sure she is correctly wording documentation going before the judge. She also needs to check on her staff to make sure they are doing their job properly. She seemed to have a high turnover rate in staff which would make me apprehensive about going with this attorney. I cannot recommend this lawyer but she is probably better than most. My best advice is to find someone experienced and knowledgeable that will help you mediate a settlement and have in place before one of you even files for divorce and include the settlement with the filing paperwork.

I have two children, 5 and 7. I was only granted weekend visits during my divorce and over the last three years since the divorce was final things kept getting worse. I tried to file motions on my own and was told I would have a court date in two weeks. Wrong! I kept getting blown off. I searched online for a lawyer and was very unsure if I could afford one or if my Lawyer would let me down like my divorce lawyer. I decided to set up a consultation with Shelly and gave a brief description to her assistant Ruth over the phone. When I went in to her office I was nervous, a single dad going for full custody...not very often does that turn out good. Shelly and her whole staff, Ruth, Brian and Chelley made me feel extremely comfortable and explained EVERYTHING to me in great detail. I decided to hire Shelly. We had a very short time to get things ready before going in front of the referee for a parenting time violation and status conference. She did a very good job prepping for in in just a few weeks. I ended up with temporary custody and we had to prep for mediation. Mediation was not a option as we found out. So now the preparation for trial. I was very skeptical about everything at this point. Shelly and her staff did a great job explaining what was happening and telling me how I could save my self money by getting medical records or anything relevant to trial. I was still having doubts about the whole trial. With their kind words and explaining absolutely everything I was put at ease. After about six months of court dates, trial prep and then the big trial it is finely over. She helped me win custody of my five year old son and seven year old daughter. These two kids are the reason I wake up every day and Shelley and her team could see that and fought until we won! I would recommend and will recommend her to anyone that is going through a divorce or custody battle. They are simply AMAZING! Thank you Shelley and your team!!
Posted by Donna
I am very pleased with the service I received from Shelley and her office staff. They kept me informed through the whole process. My ex-husband was very difficcult. He seriously wanted to do everything his way without any regard to the facts or my situation. Shelley's knowledge of divorce law in a situation regarding my ex-husband and his attorney changed everything. His attorney terminated their relationship. Now he had no attorney and, with Shelley's support, he was not able to intimidate me. I was able to get the money owed me and he paid my attorney fees. I am so glad I chose Wilson Kester to represent me. I am very, very pleased.
Posted by Lindsay
Shelley and her team helped our family with a parenting time modification order. She and her staff were knowledgeable, trustworthy and full of compassion. I appreciated the personal care that they all gave us and kind words through a very trying time. I am forever thankful for having Shelley and her staff with me and my family to walk that walk beside us.
Posted by a client
Shelley represented me in my divorce. I had thought my ex-husband would be more involved in the process and that he might engage more in the custody arrangement and plan. When it became clear that this would not be his plan, we had to adjust my plan and move forward. It was a challenging process in that I kept expecting a change to my ex's attitude. Shelley and her staff were prepared for whatever change that might be. Ultimately, there were no surprises and I got what was desired for both me and my children.
Posted by Lee
Shelley and her office were the best to work with. They kept me informed and I knew at all times that they had my sons and my best interest at heart. They were nice and helpful and I would recommend them to anyone who needs a family law attorney.

Spitter hedge-art (or: "if I don't see it, it'll go away")
I played Left4Dead2 tonight for the first time in what was a fair while due to my preoccupation with Battlefield 1943 as well as Dragonage, and had fun doing so. I commonly play with a competent set of people, and we are all comfortable with each other�s ability with the game to not feel we need to babysit each other or get frustrated when someone does something perceivably silly � it was always done for a reason, and was more often than not a smart choice given whatever circumstance that person was in (e.g throwing a Molotov that clips a friendly player, in order to destroy an approaching hoard which that friendly was ignorant to). Our preferred game mode is scavenge and, modesty permitting, we are really rather good at it. We have plans to which we adhere to at each map, and we actually strategise mid-game if things aren�t flowing the way we might want it to. Communication is the key, and we have no problem using our headsets for uses that extend beyond calling anonymous players fags and cocksuckers like the majority of xbox live users.
Tonight, though, we played a team that was seemingly content to be ignorant to any threat that didn�t pose a direct hazard to their own health bar. One of my main pet-peeves is people on Left4Dead thinking that a threat will solve itself � a perfect example is melee�ing a Jockey off a fellow survivor, only for that survivor to then turn his back and stroll away content with the fact that he is no longer the one under attack. The Jockey does not go home to tell his kids the time daddy rode a survivor but was smacked off, and in the interest of fair play called it a day. That Jockey is still there, desperately trying to realise escape in order to attack later. This kind of �if I don�t see it, it won�t hurt me� gameplay style is incredibly frustrating to me. Even when I�m the infected Jockey that the survivors ignore.
Tonight, we were playing Parish. The Park is probably our strongest map, and we often observe the enemy team struggling to keep up with the momentum which we inexorably maintain on the collection of gas cans as survivors (throwing the cans over hedges to buddies waiting on the other side, etc). As infected, we wait until the enemy team return to the central courtyard to attack rather than the Russian-roulette of trying to predict what fuel dump the enemy survivor team will go for first. Waiting to attack them on the return leg also heralds the benefit of pouncing a team where only half of them can shoot; the other half restricted to melee attacks by virtue of the gas cans they are carrying. We can�t claim to be strategic masterminds as its all relatively simple tactics, but such ploys rarely fail and are seemingly beyond the cerebral capacity of many enemy teams we encounter.
I was a Spitter on my first infected spawn. It was therefore my duty to watch the generator and vomit on players either trying to fill it up, or on stray fuel cans dropped by survivors after getting targeted by my teammates (Smoker drag, Hunter pounce, Charger...charge). To get a nice vantage point, I climbed up on one of the hedges that form the central courtyard. I never moved for the rest of the game. Every time a survivor would come to refill the generator, I would rain vomit down from my hedge platform; the corrosive damage constantly resetting the refill-meter of any survivor trying to empty his can long enough for one of my lethal (by that I mean one of the infected that has the capacity to kill by incapacitation) infected teammates to show up and wreck the survivor�s day. I don�t know about other players, but as soon as I get hit by vomit I immediately look for the offending Spitter. Usually, if I am a Spitter I am up high where my poultry life-bar is mitigated somewhat by the distance between me and the scary gun barrel of any angry and trigger-happy survivors. I immediately scan the skyline for Spitter-shaped silhouettes standing out from roof tops, and squeeze off a few rounds if I successfully spot one. If I am unsuccessful in finishing it off, I immediately alert my team to the Spitter�s location so that someone else can take her out when she next pops her head up. I was spitting at this team all game, and they were seemingly content to just let me sit on my 2m tall hedge and continue.
This goes back to the fallacy of some player�s mentality that threats will solve themselves: because the survivor couldn�t see me on my hedge (*sigh*), I was none of their concern and someone else would have to do the arduous job of stopping for 5 seconds to do a quick sweep of the area. After about the fifth shot of vomit, I was absolutely flabbergasted.
I even started jumping.
It was clear that the enemy team was not new to the game through exemplification of simple game awareness (e.g shove/shoot Boomers), and there were no guest accounts to be seen. They were just...ignorant? Arrogant? Delusional? I don�t know, but they were fine to ignore a Hunter that had missed it�s pounce; keep running at pursuing Jockey laughter; and of course deny the existence of a Spitter on a hedge.
Has any other �experienced� players noticed this gameplay style when playing with other people? Has anyone ever run into an entire team of these people, also?!
DISCLAIMER: I certainly do not claim to be a master at playing Left4Dead2, or any other game for that matter. Throw me into a Halo 3 match and I'll show you a score that stretches into the negatives. I just play with the same group of reasonably intelligent, responsive individuals that I've gamed with ever since first purchasing an xbox 360 which allows us to operate as a fairly competent team.

I can't fly planes in Battlefield 1943
The recent New Years less-than-half-price sale of Battlefield 1943 on XBLA has seen a flood of new soldiers taking up arms in the indistinguishable islands of the Pacific Ocean theatre. I wasn�t one to spend the full asking price when the game was originally released during the summer months (when I should by all rights be outside scuffing my elbows and getting grass stains or something), but at 560 MSpoints, it was a veritable steal. The game just is fun. Sure it�s more �arcady� and has only a handful of maps to delight you with, but hey it�s an easily-accessible Battlefield game without an unlock system and very few perceivable exploits/chokepoints (except perhaps some of the mountain ridges in Guadalcanal) with which to punish new and unfamiliar players with. My only other serious experience with a Battlefield game is with Bad Company on the (of course) Xbox 360. Although the token unlock system allowed for a shallow learning curve and didn�t bombard the unaccustomed player with all sorts of gadgets and do-dads assigned to the unintuitive control layout, it did however mean that people with some playtime under their belts had a significant advantage over those just starting out. Not significant as to warrant a game design overhaul (deathstreaks, anyone?), but as with all online shooters where the kill requirement in measured in bullets rather than clips *any* advantage is a significant one. For example, the engin-I mean Demolition class was unplayable for me during the period in which it took to unlock the absolutely filthy NS2000 shotgun. It�s nice that with a game like Battlefield 1943 everyone is on an even...well...battlefield?
That is, until, some git gets in a plane.
Fuck planes in that game, man. Seriously. I don�t mind when the odd enemy tank comes cruising in and not being able to do anything about it (rifle grenades don�t work, the rocket launcher does depressingly menial damage, and the satchel charges means my squishy scout needs to shift it from his nice and secure bush) because I can do the exact same thing to the enemy next time I find a unaccounted for metal behemoth waiting to be used. It is fair(-ish), everyone can have a crack. But planes; I can�t fly them for shit. Before you start, it�s not just my own personal ineptitude either it seems. I�ve observed a fair few aerial follies from ground level in my week or so playing the game (who knew mountains could sneak up on so many poor unfortunate pilots?), and my playgroup with whom I frequent the game with find it difficult to get a good run in a plane. In fact, I believe what I�ve mentioned before as my �gaming spouse� in a previous blog has failed to register a kill on Aerial Superiority that didn�t entail kamikaze-ing into an enemy plane/aircraft carrier.
Maybe it�s because most of us only recently downloaded the title under the aforementioned New Years sale and we haven�t become accustomed to the apparently erudite control scheme for the fighters, who knows, but as soon as we press �B� to enter that cockpit we all have the same guilty feeling deep down inside that we are hurting the team by us jumping in the plane rather than letting a better equipped pilot take to the skies.
It�s fairly depressing to see enemy planes screaming up above me unmolested because I apparently lack the knack to do anything about it, apart from scrambling to the nearest flack gun to get off a few shots before getting inevitably sniped (OKAY I shouldn�t reaaaally complain about that; I love pointing my crosshair at the seats in the anti-air emplacements and daring anyone to take position), and to have my erection-inducing tank rampages cut short by a perfect bomb drop by a low-flying stuka wannabe. Ah well. I�ve resided myself to clock a few more sessions in Aerial Superiority to get to grips with the flight controls and get the measure of the weight and flight path of the machine gun bullets before I write-off fighters completely (though I worry that I�ll become adept at shooting stuff in the air, while still poor at land-based targets), but I just want to know if this potential initial weakness with flying in Battlefield 1943 extends beyond myself and my immediate gaming peers? Anyone?

A free copy of Onechanbara?
I am a university student who has been living in various rented accommodation for the past few years; currently residing in the third different property of said academic career. Due to these houses usually being occupied by students, you can of course expect a certain degree of postal overlap between houses due to the forgetful and lackadaisical nature of their transient occupants. Over the past 5 months, my household has been receiving numerous mail correspondence directed at what we only assume to be a previous occupier. Usually if someone forgets to update their address on some sort of online account, they soon remember when their usual cache of Tesco loyalty card points have been failed to be successfully delivered at the expected date. This fella, though, must be dead or something.
Over the past academic year we have received so much mail for this individual (which is depressing in itself: this guy gets more mail than I do, and he seemingly
doesn't give a shit about it
) that stealing his identity could be accomplished through nothing more than assimilation information derived through randomly grabbing a handful of any of the numerous envelopes we have collected.. The good upstanding souls that we are, however, has seen us simply adding his mail to a plastic bag (which student household doesn't have 1000+ of those things?) should he ever come looking for it, or we get over our collective lethargy and actually do something about it. Doubtful.
Our curiosity was piqued recently, when a small nondescript box arrived in the post. Good intentions aside, we couldn't help but shake and rattle the box like small children on Christmas eve in the hope that such actions would allow us to fathom what the contents could be. The box occupied a corner of our coffee table for a month or so, providing a constant vessel of mild confusion, frustration but always one of fancy for us.
I'll cut to it: recently the box was
opened. Gasp I know I know. IT COULD HAVE SO TOTALLY BEEN A BOMB OKAAAAY. But our self disgust for our unscrupulous actions was soon overshadowed by our amazement and mirth for it's contents: Onechanbara, for the Xbox 360. One of the worst games ever released, let alone one of the gaming travesties of last year.
So, I am presented with a quandary: What do I do with this discovery. I doubt the intended owner of the 'game' (read: interactive wank material) will ever come to collect it, and I am loathe to ebay or auction off things on the internet. Should I play it? Should I just destroy this abomination? ARGH

A warning against having one's cake and eating it in Dragon Age: Origins
Anyone who has played Dragon Age: Origins (console version) for any reasonable length of time should only be all too aware of the numerous and usually inconsequential glitches in the game. These include NPCs floating up in the air, entire tracks of conversations simply mimed, and game freezing. Up until this evening, the worst glitch I encountered was during the Slot daemon's induced dream sequence, causing me to turn off my Xbox 360 and reload an earlier save. Luckily, I am an absolute wimp so I frequently save the game before entering a new area allowing me to recover with minimal gameplay lost.
I am on my second playthrough of Mass Effect, and my save count is embarrassingly high. Something like 350-ish, I believe. I am just glad that Dragon Age doesn't keep a tally of your saves.
However, I was unfortunately caught out by a game-breaking glitch that doesn't present itself until further down the quest line; this meant that even though I frequently saved, the mistake/glitch was done and I was simply heading towards an proverbial brick wall.
I am referring to, after a few google searches, the somewhat infamous 'Orzammar Glitch'.
[Spoilers lie ahead]
Now, I've never been a fan of the self-imposed inevitable extinction that so called 'elder races' seem to suffer in almost every fantasy yarn that includes Dwarves and Elves. They're always dying out due to their own cultural or technological nihilism that stops them from adapting to an ever-changing world; this leaves any potential human protagonists in said fantasy yarn as the target or some resentment, and fear. And, of course, the hero to save such pitiful races. Anyway. In Dragonage, upon discovering the great Dwarven hold of Orzammar I learned that the poor stunties are lacking in a King and one more political hissy-fit away from a civil war. My arrival was nice timing, eh?
After interrogating (and pick-pocketing as I did so, naturally) a few NPCs, I learned of an pretender to the throne called Prince Bhelen. Despite some mucky business with his brother, he was hailed as something of a revisionist; he wanted to expand the interaction that the Dwarfs had with the outside world through trade and treaties. "Brilliant!" I thought, this guy is going to get put in charge by my hand. The trouble started when I realised that I could play both sides; also doing the dirty work for Bhelen's rival, Lord Harrowmont.
I got greedy (I was playing Rogue!). I did one quest for Bhelen's guys (distributing some questionable documents) and some more for Harrowmount's cronies (competing in a gladiatorial arena), content in the assumed knowledge that the game must force me to choose at some point who I would definitely back. When the time had come, I sought out Bhelen's representative Vartag Gavorn to initiate the second tier of quest tasks. After berating me for representing his rival in The Proving arena, I managed to convince the poor sod that my actions had only been to deceive Harrowmount into trusting me. Hah hah, I am so clever and tricksy.
I didn't do it for the extra EXP at all.
Approving of my machevalian activities, he proposed continuing the fa�ade and ascertain what it was that Harrowmount intended for me next. Harrowmount was nowhere to be found and, alas, I was rumbled immediately upon talking to Harrowmount's representative in the Dwarven pub. With a slight shrug, I returned to Vartag to tell him the regrettable news but to move the quest on anyway. I guess I had messed up a potential storyline bonus, but ah well. Little did I know that I had just entered a perpetual quest task that was incapable to be completed. Vartag wants me to speak to Harrowmount, but Harrowmount's representative knows I have betrayed them and won't engage in any conversation. Nothing I have done has resolved this loop, and nothing I have read online has enlightened me to anyone else managing either.
- There is a glitch with the 'Betrayed From Within' and 'A Prince's Favor: The First Task' quests in Orzammar.
- If you attempt to play both sides for either fun or the EXP, you run the risk of never being able to satisfy both and therefore never progressing the quest.
- Just pick one faction to back from the beginning, and don't be a greedy git like myself. Pick to distribute the letters (Bhelen), or fight in the arena (Harrowmount).
Unfortunately for myself, my previous save that would set me back before this quest was initiated is some way back in the game meaning that I have lost a fair few hours of play due to this glitch. Ah well. Hopefully this quest-loop will be patched up in some foreseeable future. I wouldn't want any other player to experience it in the meantime, however.

First blog; Army of Two and Conviction.
Most of us with a gaming-spouse tolerated a playthrough of the Army of Two: 40th Day demo that was made available through xbox live recently, and (I'm assuming here) that the majority who did manage to endure an entire playthrough* share the same opinion I hold. It's a bit rubbish.
Anyway, I have just now watched a video on GT showing some contrived gameplay footage of Prologue; the Splinter Cell Conviction co-op story mode.
The five or so minutes of video looks so much better than
I have seen and/or experienced for the sequel to Army of Two. Having not ever had a vested interest in any Splinter Cell game, I haven't followed the release of Conviction at all so you can appreciate my surprise at what a slick-looking game had escaped my rapture thus far.
I just hope I can convince my primary 'gaming buddeh' to be cautious and act a bit stealthily, at least some of the time. Immediate memories of premature activation of Left4Dead finales, arming of crate-charges on Bad Company interrupted by the detonation of C4, ambushes of the melee-shotgun double tap on Gears of War 2 rumbled by the irrepressible sound of chainsaw bayonet revving, and the repeated and unforgivable use of scout/spy ruses in Team Fortress 2 come to mind.

About Major Tom
One of us
since 8:22 PM on 12.17.2009
According to Uncyclopedia:
Major Tom was almost the first astronaut, or Rocket Man, to land on the moon. He and his copilot, Ziggy Stardust, were beaten by astronauts from the Duchy of Grand Fenwick by less than a minute. The resulting humiliation for his home country, the United States of America, led President John F. Kennedy to fake his own death.
The tragedy was compounded on his return to space for another attempt at a Moon visit, when his Apollo capsule was lost in space. His last words were "Ground Control, we have a problem." Though his spaceship still seemed to know which way to go, he never broadcast again.
Just in case he lives, however, perhaps out of some remorse for depriving him of his triumph, Grand Duchess Gloriana XII paid for the construction of an antenna that to this day broadcasts on loop, "Ground control to Major Tom: Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong. Can you hear me Major Tom?" It is on the same band as several rock stations, and in appropriate atmospheric conditions sometimes will be picked up by a radio tuned to them instead of the actual music broadcast, causing much confusion.
For example, the true lyrics to a song by David Bowie, written after a prophetic dream, warning us of the approach of a space oddity that will destroy the Earth as soon as 2024, have never been heard, and we are all probably going to die as a result. When asked for a comment, Bowie angrily claimed, "We know Major Tom's a junkie." However there is no proof to support his allegation.

Diffusion MRI
From quantitative measurement to in-vivo neuroanatomy
Edited by
- Heidi Johansen-Berg, Oxford Centre for Functional MRI of the Brain (FMRIB), Department of Clinical Neurology, University of Oxford, UK
- Timothy E.J. Behrens, Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Oxford; Centre for Functional MRI of the Brain (FMRIB), UK
Neuroscientists interested in the study of connections in the brain, brain imaging, within Cognitive Neuroscience, Neuroscience, Radiology, Medical Physics and adjacent areas.
Book information
- Published: April 2009
- Imprint: ACADEMIC PRESS
"A thorough and exciting review of the diffusion MRI techniques that are going to rewrite our knowledge of the long tract anatomy of the human brain. Extremely well written and illustrated." - Michael S. Gazzaniga, Director, Sage Center for the Study of Mind, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA "25 years after its debut, diffusion MRI today provides us with beautiful, marvelous images of connecting wires within the human brain, and this is achieved just by placing healthy subjects or patients in the middle of a strong magnet. How is this miracle possible? What could we expect from the knowledge of the brain connectome? This beautifully illustrated book addresses these questions with great clarity. The book is highly recommendable to all those who are interested in the links between brain structure and function." - Denis Le Bihan, Member of the Institut de France, Academy of Sciences; Director, NeuroSpin; CEA-Saclay Center, Gif-sur-Yvette, France "Unbelievable as it may seem, we know almost nothing about the real connectivity of the human cerebral cortex. What we think we know is mostly inferred from results obtained in the monkey. This book provides an exciting exploration of diffusion tensor imaging, a method that can start to close this gap. The editors, who are themselves pioneers in this field, have assembled authoritative chapters on the promises that lie ahead and the challenges that will be encountered." - Marsel Mesulam, Ruth and Evelyn Dunbar Professor of Neurology, Psychiatry and Psychology; Director, The Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer's Disease Center (CNADC), Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, USA
"Diffusion MRI has tremendous potential for elucidating brain structure and circuitry in health and disease, but the approach is fraught with methodological and interpretational challenges. This excellent and authoritative book edited by Johansen-Berg and Behrens is an invaluable resource for everyone using diffusion MRI or wanting to learn more about it." - David C. Van Essen, Edison Professor and Department Head, Anatomy and Neurobiology Department, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, USA

Popotla and El Poblano on Tijuana Si in the OC Weekly
Check out my recent posts in the OC Weekly on one of my latest obsessions--the seafood paradise that us Popotla. It's what Puerto Nuevo used to be, a place where your every seafood whim is just a fisherman or a cocktailer away.
And, in case you missed it, I shared the story of the famous taqueros from Puebla that have carved themselves a slice of Baja culture in the form of carne asada tacos that are 100% Tijuanense, yet inseparable from the Poblanos that prepare them. Read Tacos El Poblano in the OC Weekly

What do you look for in a fan fic?

Re: What do you look for in a fan fic?
I'm in agreement with CeJay here. At least if the fan fic writer wants to enjoy themselves more, I think it would behoove them to write in the time period or with the characters they feel most comfortable with. I was a big fan of DS9 and the Dominion War, so I based my Dark Territory series in the post-Dominion War era to exploring what might have happened after DS9 ended. The good thing about that for me was that it also allowed me to also incorporate TNG and VOY into stories as well.
I think you first got to find something that interests you to keep writing when you hit the eventual writer's block or when life gets in the way. But also I do think most people who write want to share what they've written. But if you're not enjoying what you're writing, if you're too worried about the audience, you're probably not going to like what you produce and they probably won't either.

LOS ANGELES -- The adult film industry announced a moratorium on the making of porn films Wednesday after an actor tested positive for HIV.
The performer was not immediately identified and officials didn't say when the positive test was recorded.
The actor's sex partners are currently being tested by doctors with Adult Production Health and Safety Services, which works with the porn industry.
"The moratorium will be lifted once the risk of transmission has been eliminated," Diane Duke, executive director of the industry trade group the Free Speech Coalition, told The Associated Press in an email.
She added that the actor is not believed to have been infected on a film set.
The industry briefly put a similar moratorium in place last year after nearly a dozen performers were infected during a syphilis outbreak.

About Ultragenyx
Ultragenyx is a privately held, developmental stage biotechnology company committed to bringing life-enhancing therapeutics for patients with rare and ultra-rare genetic diseases, also known as orphan diseases, to market.

Ultragenyx intends to build a sustainable pipeline of safe and effective therapies to address these clinically underserved diseases. Ultragenyx' lead program, UX001, is being evaluated as a potential treatment for GNE Myopathy, also known as hereditary inclusion body myopathy (HIBM).

Starspots to Measure Small Differential Rotation Rates

On using photometric data from Kepler to study starspots, and to measure differential rotation rates.
Do you own a digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera? The authors of today's paper do. They used it for astronomy. They used it for science.
Our current best radial velocities are precise to about 1m/s. How do we make the step towards achieving 10cm/s precision?
Advanced observational tools such as ALMA allow the detection of complex organic molecules – the building blocks of life. However, how and where they are formed is still unknown.
Heavy stars live like rock stars: they live fast, become big, and die young. Low mass stars, on the other hand, are more persistent, and live longer. Fusing hydrogen slow and steady wins the stellar age-race.
Cepheids are bright enough that we can use them to measure distances to other galaxies, but their luminosities also makes detecting their companions particularly difficult. So how do astronomers find their uncover their secret partners? Today's paper takes a look…

More screening, or more married parents?
The News Story: New Recommendations for Depression Screening in Primary Care
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) is considering a new standard recommending that all adults be routinely screened for depression during visits to their primary care provider, according to a story released by the American Academy of Family Physicians.
According to the AAFP, the need for such routine screening is severe, as "one out of about every dozen people age 12 or older has experienced symptoms of depression in the past two weeks." Detecting and treating depression early, the story continues, are obvious public health goals. But in spite of what one might suppose from the recommendation that all adults be regularly screened, all adults are not equally at risk for becoming depressed. Groups of concern are "women, younger and middle-aged adults, and nonwhite individuals," as well as "people who are undereducated,…

The fight against filth
We've all been there, standing in line at the store, waiting patiently to purchase our groceries while scantily-clad, heavily-Photoshopped women stare longingly at us from the glossy covers of the surrounding magazines in the check-out aisle. As if there were any doubts as to the sort of material within these publications, the cover lines shout out such phrases as "His #1 Sex Fantasy," "Bad Girl Sex," "12 Kinky Quickies," or "21 Mind Blowing Sex Moves."
It's likely most of us have come to accept the presence of these scandalous publications as a fact of life. We don't like them, but there's not much we can do about the situation besides trying to divert our children's attention to the innocuous candy bar and Tic Tac section of the aisle.

A letter to engaged couples of the future
Dear future-engaged-person,
Next time you hear from me on Family Edge, I'll be a married woman. With only 15 days to go, I wish I had written a day-by-day journal of the ups and downs, the discoveries and lessons, and the raw beauty of the whole process of being engaged. So I'd like to take this last chance to reflect on being almost-married.
There is so much I want to share. I want to tell you all about the overwhelming joy of saying "yes" and looking forward to the future, and about the peace that comes from knowing that I've chosen the right man for me.
I want you to know that I thought I'd spend the months before preparing with the perfect work-out routine (is it too late to start now?), but that my preparation was more of the mental and spiritual variety – learning more about marriage so that I could…

Side Effects of the Pill 102: death
Where would you expect to find a film about the oral contraceptive pill which begins with the comment that this is "the first medical drug made specifically to treat people who aren't sick"?
Not at a bastion of liberal opinion such as the UK Guardian website. But that is where the video above was posted last month, warning that if you weren't sick when you started taking this treatment for being a woman, you soon might be.
The eight-minute film is a trailer for a longer documentary being made by Ricki Lake and Abby Epstein (The Business of Being Born, 2008) and based on the 2013 book, Sweetening the Pill, by Holly Grigg-Spall. The film is due out next year.

Medicating womanhood
Across North America today, there are calls to make the birth control pill accessible over the counter. The Pill, we are told, is part of comprehensive health care and it is an insult that women should need a doctor's prescription to use it. Recently, a columnist at the National Postcomplained that it is easier to get the Pill in Abu Dhabi than in Calgary or Toronto.
Most calls for the Pill to be made more broadly accessible—ideally free and without a prescription—all share the same subtext. Denying access to the Pill isn't merely denying health care, it's denying women's rights.
Yet this is not about the right to get the Pill but rather, the right to not get pregnant.
This stems from the modern idea that men and women are only equal in dignity when we are exactly the same. As a result, we think that if men…

How to know if you're over-parenting
Last week, when talking to my fiancé's sister-in-law about having kids, she made an interesting point: the biggest change is not necessarily that you now have a child, but all the worry that comes with it. How true does that ring?! I sometimes feel annoyed by mothers that seem to keep their baby all to themselves when all they are doing, perhaps subconsciously, is protecting their child as they know how.
Which leads me to the topic of over-parenting: because yup, parents, it's a thing – at least according to a recent stuff.co.nz article. And I'd have to agree! Like most things, parents wouldn't even be aware that they're doing it. But, also like most things, parenting should beware of extremes and strive for a healthy balance between guiding kids and allowing them to flourish freely.
According to the article, mums and dads fall into over-parenting because of…

The link between hook-up apps and STDs
The News Story - Rise in sexually transmitted diseases could be linked to hook-up apps
Many have decried the so-called "hook-up culture" in which we live, arguing that it damages both men and women physically, emotionally, and mentally. A new story out of Atlanta sheds light on how some of this damage may be spreading. FOX News Atlanta reports that hook-up apps may be contributing to Georgia's rise in STD rates in recent years, by "providing easy access to meet strangers and sometimes engage in risky behavior." Says Dr. Yolanda Wimberly, associate professor of Adolescent Medicine at Morehouse School of Medicine, "You're not in a relationship with someone; it doesn't give you an opportunity to really know that person, to know their sexual history . . ." Nonetheless, Wimberly believes that "the alleged connection" between apps, social media, hook-ups, and STDs still needs more investigation.…

The best age to get married
20 is much too young to be engaged… Oh, you're 30, and you're not married yet? Whatever age we tie the knot, people are going to have an opinion. But what do the statistics say?
Research has generally told us that the older, the better (younger couples lack the maturity), and that your thirties are as good a time as any. But according to research collected in 2006-2010 (as analysed by Nicholas Wolfinger), these days the odds of divorce increase by 5% per year for each year after age 32 – across a variety of demographic and social differences. So what's changed?
Wolfinger suggests a few potential reasons - that the experience of staying unmarried past 30, with all its probable relationship history, could work to make someone less fit for or less desiring of marriage. Or perhaps the pool of people left to marry at this age does not represent…

Video: Hilary Swank turns down roles to care for her sick father
In this modern day and age, there's more than plenty to distract us from what really matters. That's why it's such a breath of fresh air to hear about two-Oscar winner Hilary Swank, who has been turning down movie roles in order to care for her sick father.
I don't claim to be an expert on Swank, but I admire her for this decision to put family first. As she puts it - "Really, what we're here for is our family, right?" Even so, that's not an easy choice when you have all the lure of fame, riches and glamour to pull you in the other direction! The family unit is something to be treasured, and often instead of protecting that, we're encouraged to put ourselves first.
At the end of life, we won't regret not making more money or our career choices – but we will regret not loving…

So we often talk about kids and young people are addicted to their smartphones. But what about you, parents? Have you ever stopped to think about your phone usage and how it could be affecting your children?
A new ad campaign in China has tried to make people think about this very issue and the barriers it can cause in the family. Created for the Center for Psychological Research, the ads aim to promote awareness of a growing screen addiction trend – and how it's putting barriers between parents and kids, and between couples.
Because at the end of the day, does it matter how many people we connect with on Facebook or how many followers we have, if our own family seems worlds away?

Catheter for Exact Compartment Pressure Measurement
What is the Compartment Syndrome?
Compartment syndrome is a dysfunction of the blood circulation in the muscle compartments. A muscle compartment consists of several functionally joined muscle groups that are enclosed by a membrane made from firm connective tissue (muscle fascia). Inside the compartment are also the blood vessels and nerves. Since the muscle fascia is not very flexible, swelling inside the muscle compartments caused by the lack of space leads to increased tissue pressure in the compartment so that nerves and blood vessels are constricted. Compartment syndrome causes the muscles not to get enough oxygen.
Example for a Measuring System
The OMNIBAR E5F measures the pressure inside the compartment at rest, during a stress test and after the stress test. The difference in these 3 pressures can confirm the diagnosis.
Intramuscular Tissue Pressure Measuring (IMP) Catheter
- Outside diameter: 5F
- Catheter length: 55 cm
- Material: PU
There are 3 Different Possible Set Ups to Measure the Pressure Measurement:
- The NPS3 battery operated device connected to a ICP-TEMP-Cable (extension cable)
- One end of the NPS2 connects directly to the patient monitor and the other end is connected to the ICP-TEMP-Cable (extension cable)
- MPR 1 DATALOGGER monitor connected to the ICP-TEMP-Cable. With this set up it is possible to measure and compare three IMP-pressures in the healthy and ill tissue
Your Advantage
- Sterile pressure measurement catheter complies hygienic requirements
- Plug & Play system – no catheter calibration necessary
- Simple and precise compartment pressure measurement using microchip technology
- Excellent measurement stability and linearity
- System does not add any additional fl uids to the compartment

Editor's Review
Bite Beauty Cin Cin Luminous Creme Lipstick
Bite Beauty Cin Cin Luminous Creme Lipstick ($24.00 for 0.13 oz.) is described as a "tropical coral." It's a very slightly muted, medium orange with a hint of red and a soft sheen. It had full color coverage, and the finish of this shade wasn't quite as glossy as some of the other shades in the range, but there's still some shine so it isn't matte.

Since receiving my "freebie" sample of VIB Rouge lipstick, I've decided I have to have more of these wonderful lipsticks from Bite. I wanted to find something similar to MAC Lustering or Plumful but a bit more long-wearing. While Vigne isn't an exact match for either MAC shade, it is such a beautiful deep pink/berry shade. Moisturizing, creamy, richly pigmented and long wearing. Absolutely lovely and pretty.

As the St. Louis Rams handed the Arizona Cardinals their first loss of the season, former Eagles quarterback Nick Foles led the charge with three touchdown passes.
"In an ideal world of Rams football, this is what it's supposed to look like," Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Dispatch wrote after St. Louis's win. "A defense and special teams unit that create turnovers and give up points grudgingly.
"And don't forget Foles, who squeezed those three touchdown passes out of just 24 throws en route to a 126.9 passer rating."
Through four games, Foles and the Rams are 2-2 and one game back in the NFC West. Foles has completed 63 percent of his passes for 815 yards, five touchdowns and one interception, and a 96.5 quarterback rating.
Here's a recap of how the rest of the Eagles' offseason departures are faring after Week 4. Read more »

•originally published 02/17/2014 AT 7:00 AM ET
What was supposed to be an Eyes Wide Shut masquerade ball for charity turned into a "Mouths Wide Open" shouting match on Sunday's The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
Kenya Moore organized the event not only to raise funds for Saving Our Daughters, one of NeNe Leakes's favorite charities, but also to get back in her good graces after their falling out at the pajama party turned brawl.
"I never received an invitation," said Leakes, although Moore had sent her an E-vite. "You don't have a charity event for someone and not call them Why would I be going to the ball?"
But an incensed Leakes, 45, decided to attend, forgoing a mask and any etiquette skills.
When Moore, 42, who auctioned off hot bachelors for charity, called an unprepared Leakes to the microphone to say a few words, she made her anger apparent, tersely saying a few words before handing the mic back to a stunned Moore.
"It's amazing how many good friends I have and don't know about it," Leakes said icily. "I'd like to thank Saving Our Daughters, which is one of many charities that I work with."
Cue exit left and haughty strut by Leakes (with more attitude than any runway show).
"How dare you?" Leakes said after her departure. "I didn't even know I had to speak you can't play a chick like me. I was hopeful I could come to the event and switch gears, but I couldn't."
"This is completely uncalled for," said Moore. "It's pathetic."
Peter Thomas, Cynthia Bailey's husband, seemed to be in agreement, leading a mass exit from the event, but it was actually Leakes who was in for a surprise.

ORLANDO, Nov. 6 Foregoing food for a day each month stood out among other religious practices in members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS or Mormons), who have lower rates of heart disease than other Americans, researchers reported at the American Heart Associations Scientific Sessions 2007.
People who fast seem to receive a heart-protective benefit, and this appeared to also hold true in non-LDS people who fast as part of a health-conscious lifestyle, said Benjamin D. Horne, Ph.D., M.P.H., study author and director of cardiovascular and genetic epidemiology at Intermountain Medical Center and adjunct assistant professor of biomedical informatics at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City.
In the 1970s, scientists recognized that Latter-Day Saints (LDS) in Utah are less likely to die of heart disease than other Utah residents and Americans overall. The religious prohibition against tobacco use is usually credited for the health benefit, but researchers wondered whether other religious teachings also may be important.
Researchers first examined the records of the Intermountain Heart Collaborative Study registry comprised of patients who had undergone coronary angiography, an X-ray examination of the blood vessels of the heart to look for blockages, between 1994 and 2002. Of those patients, 4,629 men and women, average age 64, could clearly be diagnosed either with coronary artery disease (CAD) which is at least 70 percent narrowing or blockage detected in at least one artery, or as free of significant CAD less than 10 percent narrowing or blockage. As expected, CAD was less prevalent in patients who identified their religious preference as LDS than those who stated another or no religious preference. Sixty-one percent of LDS members had CAD versus 66 percent of others.
When we adjusted for smoking, or looked just at the nonsmokers, we still found a lower rate of CAD in people having an LDS religious preference, Hor

Wroxham, Norfolk
Real reviews, from customers like you.
Had a wonderful stay here. Ideally located for exploring Norfolk. Very peaceful considering right next to Wroxham Bridge. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and well looked after. Bonus was a little rowing boat, we hired an outboard motor, for exploring the broads, where there is plenty to see with lots of wildlife along the way. As I have already stated, we had a lovely holiday and would love to go back again.
Very good. A little sparse in terms of cps and glasses, only just enough. Television not entirely reliable on BBC channels, but these are relatively minor points. Location is fine. 4pm is rather late to arrive by and 9am is early to be gone by.
The house boats could do with a little updating. Whilst everything is clean the soft furnishings definitely need a revamp
We enjoyed our holiday and the owners/caretakers were very welcoming and helpful. We would not return because we like to vary our destinations but would be happy to recommend Broadlands to friends.
Great location for wildlife and town. Very peaceful
Location was great to be so near to shops and yet in a nice quiet area.was great.
Houseboat was very clean if just a little outdated .but overall great place would come again
Nice central location, lots of shops nearby. The boat provided was fun and good value with the outboard motor. I would recommend staying here.
Broadland 1 is sited in a peaceful and pleasant spot. Very convenient with all that Wroxham has to offer just a short stroll from the doorstep. Completely relaxing.
Excellent facility. Better than expected in all respects.
Excellent location, lovely peaceful setting. Boat we'll equipped and comfortable. Owners extremely friendly and helpful.
Very good houseboat, but location is in a boatyard, which is a good thing for peace and quite and facilities, but outlook is limited.
very nice houseboat, quite location but very handy for shops and easy access to the river and broads system. Owners very helpfull and welcoming.

I walk in the Baylands regularly, and I appreciate GOOGLE being considerate of their surroundings and mush prefer the subdued exterior they are suggesting in that location. Trust members of the Architectural Review Board to come back with stupid ideas about bright colors on the exterior of the building - how inappropriate at that location.
I am sure GOOGLE is designing the interior with lots of bright colors for the children but must it say: "I'm a Day Care Center" on the outside?
Incidentally, I think it would be a lot safer for the young children of GOOGLE employees if this building blends in with the buildings that surround it. I don't think GOOGLE wants to advertise it as a "Day Care Center". There are important security implications to be considered.
