Thinking of "Anne of Green Gables"…..that's the thought that went through my mind, when I saw the following quote shared on Pinterest
"…isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?" "
and immediately thought back to lazy summers…going to the library and checking out, each book of the "Anne" series.
Do you remember those days……the days seem endless and the nights seem much richer?
I think what just made her special was both the love she had for her family and her friends growing up and both the strength, independent and yet, compassion she showed and seem to solidify as she grew older…
Forever friends with Diana Barry and competitive with Gilbert, the "Anne of Green Gables" book brought a sweet mix of another time, another place that even to this day, as an adult, she pops to mind here and there.
It's a set of books I look forward to eventually passing on to my kids, along with the many other books, that I enjoyed growing up and hope to pass on a love for, but along with Pippi Longstocking, Mrs. Piggly Wiggly, and many others, Anne Shirley of Green Gables, is a timeless favorite I enjoy coming back to, time after time and with e-readers, I can take her anywhere now, when in the mood for a fun summer read.
Honestly….summer really seems to feel like the best time to read those books…maybe its the memories of childhood that it brings back, or the thought of how synonymous with summer it is to me…seeing that quote, was a wonderful memory back to childhood….
How about you? Do you have any childhood books that reminds you of summer memories ?
If so, would love to hear what books those were!

Von Miller: "Ryan Mallett's My Guy"
Studs And Duds: Denver Broncos Enjoy Mostly Positive Players In Regular SeasonDenver is stacked with talented players thanks to John Elway's construction of the team over the last four years. So, there have been far more "studs" than "duds" this season, and we'll look at a few specific men here.
If Defense Wins Championships, Denver Broncos Set Up For Super Bowl RunThroughout the John Elway – Peyton Manning Era, a focus on offense was apparent. But things have changed this season, and possibly for the better, as the Broncos are more well-suited to face the playoffs this time around.
Facing JJ Watt From An Offensive Lineman's Point Of ViewFormer NFL offensive lineman Herb Taylor joined Mad Radio and they discussed playing with Tim Tebow, his thoughts on playing with Johnny Manziel, his experience playing against Von Miller and JJ Watt, his thoughts on the new Texans defensive line from an offensive linemen's point of view and Andre Johnson's recent comments.
Patriots Defense Needs Big Game Against Broncos In AFC Championship GameBoth Patriots Nation and Broncos Country are looking forward to Brady/Manning XV. The rest of the planet will probably enjoy the game, too.
Von Miller Out For Season With Torn ACLThe Denver Broncos began the season without Von Miller, and they'll end it without him, too.
Broncos' Von Miller Among 20 Suspended NFL Players Denver All-Pro linebacker Von Miller is among 20 NFL players suspended for the beginning of the NFL season.
Von Miller To Serve 6-Game SuspensionBroncos linebacker Von Miller will serve a six-game suspension under the NFL's substance-abuse policy, a violation the linebacker said did not result from a positive test.
Report: Miller Facing At Least 6-Game SuspensionVon Miller is practicing with the Denver Broncos as a new report suggests the All-Pro linebacker could be facing an even longer suspension than originally thought.
Report: Broncos' Von Miller Facing Four-Game SuspensionThe Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller is reportedly facing a four-game suspension.
AFC All-Pro Selections - DefenseAFC defensive all-pro selections are in. Defensive line, led by J.J. Watt, looks like a brick wall. See who else made the list.

Companion forum thread to:Origo Rendezvous Peak Multi-Function Watch REVIEW
I received a multi-function watch for the holidays - a Nike Alti-Compass. I haven't yet been backpacking with it, but here in town and commuting the 15 miles to and from work it seems to keep a fairly accurate altitude measure (usually within about 30 ft, though I've been recalibrating it at least every other day). As for its user friendliness I am very impressed. Reading the above reviewer's description of how to set the altimeter or the barometer on the Origo watch made me realize how complicated a procedure that could be. Not on this Nike watch, though. Everything is very intuitive. There's one button to flip through the modes, another which you press and hold when you want to make adjustments within a mode, and two buttons on the opposite side of the watch face for adjusting a setting up or down, respectively. Regarding the buttons, they themselves, are large and their surfaces are rough. I can't say for certain why it was designed that way, but the effect is to make the buttons very easy to find and operate even while wearing gloves, as the glove tip pretty much sticks to the button face where the metal has been roughed up. I requested this watch in particular over other multi-function watches based on the scant reviews I could find online, but I simply could not find very much in the way of multi-function watch reviews... This watch sells for quite a bit less than the Origos or the Suuntos (I think my girlfriend paid $130 for it on sale). I hope the low price is more an indication of their (Nike's) mass-producedness, and not their accuracy or utility in navigation. I'd be very curious to know if anyone else has any real-world experience with the Nike watches.Ben Robinson

Junta cracks down on critics in ThailandComment on this story
Bangkok -
Thai police are warning online critics of the military junta that they will "come get you" for posting political views on social media that could incite divisiveness in the polarised country.
Police cited Thursday's capture of Sombat Boonngam-anong, an organiser of anti-coup protests, as a lesson to everyone using social media.
Police Major General Pisit Paoin said on Friday that police tracked Sombat's IP address to learn where he was after he made several Facebook postings calling for protests against the May 22 coup.
Pisit told The Associated Press: "I want to tell any offenders on social media that police will come get you."
The junta has warned that it is closely monitoring online activities and plans to expand its surveillance capabilities. - Sapa-AP

Are you looking for something fun to do outside? The Winter Activities page might give you some ideas.
An unprecedented, landscape-scale conservation effort across the western United States has significantly reduced threats to the greater sage-grouse across 90 percent of the species' breeding habitat and enabled the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to conclude that the charismatic rangeland bird does not warrant protection under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This collaborative, science-based greater sage-grouse strategy is the largest land conservation effort in U.S. history. The FWS reached this determination after evaluating the bird's population status, along with the collective efforts by the BLM and U.S. Forest Service, state agencies, private landowners and other partners to conserve its habitat.

It started with a call from a concerned landowner living on Pine Country Lane, nestled in the foothills just west of Denver. Their home was sitting at the top of a hill in a tinderbox surrounded by dense forests dying from bark beetle and tussock moth invasions. That call was the catalyst to one of the most exciting restoration projects on the Colorado Front Range.
This video is meant to inspire parents and kids alike to get outside and have fun playing; all while helping their mind and body at the same time. This video was made to try and improve the general health of children and bring families together in the natural world.
Recently, three land managers from the Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservacao de Biodiversidade, traveled to the United States to meet with the U.S. Forest Service.

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus just led some of the most prominent foreign diplomats in the U.S. to Big Sky Country. Ambassadors from Canada, China, Germany, Japan and Peru joined the Democratic lawmaker on a four-day ramble through his home state of Montana to talk trade with ranchers and farmers.
"Right now, Butte is the center of the international business world," Baucus said today in a statement. He said previous tours have boosted U.S. exports of beef and aircraft equipment.
No word yet on what trade developments will come of Ambassadors' Tour 2013. With the exception of China, the envoys on this trip hail from nations that are pursuing free-trade talks with the U.S. Their visit is linked to the Montana Economic Development Summit, which includes speeches by Google Inc. Chairman Eric Schmidt, Tesla Motors Chairman Elon Musk and Facebook Inc. Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg.
Top executives from Boeing Co., ConocoPhillips, FedEx Corp., Ford Motor Co., Hewlett-Packard Co. and Delta Air Lines Inc. will also speak. We suspect some of them may remember to pack the fly-fishing gear.

Can I be in but without the symbol thingy? Theres only room for one symbol in my sig, all other space is reserved.
[Edited by moderator darkish_raven, 9/19/2008 9:39:06 AM]
Well since Darkish walked all over your post I'll say you really said yes but he changed it.
If darkish did change it, then ES would have changed it back. Because ES didn't change it back, that proves that Darkish didn't edit the message, he just posted a response indicating that he was laughing out loud at the exchange between you and ES.
Also, LOL @ the LOL.
[Edited by moderator darkish_raven, 9/19/2008 8:17:51 PM]
But now that ones been edited by darkish too, so whatever you said is now void.
3 honors classes and 1 AP class.
Looks like I'll be on and off folks.
Edited for disruptive posting! RAWR!
[Edited by moderator darkish_raven, 9/19/2008 8:44:03 PM]
It's the same message <_<
And I like how darkish refuses to edit Shibby's posts, it's like you would think that he's on Shibby's side. Traitor.
Also, there seems to be a general consensus that ES said no. And just because an anomaly like darkish has to walk over everyone's posts doesn't mean the message is reversed. So ya, he said no.
inb4darkishRAWR! DARKISH_RAVEN! THE DESTROYER OF QUOTE PYRAMIDS!

Yes, but I don't like lots of quotes in one post.

... there will still be Australians fighting on Australian soil until the turning point be reached, and we will advance over blackened ruins, through blasted and fire-swept cities, across scorched plains, until we drive the enemy into the sea.
(Prime Minister John Curtin in a radio broadcast, 14 March 1942)
Despite, or maybe because of, their vivid memories of the horrors of the First World War, many Australians continued their day to day lives with little or no change during the early years of World War II. They battled with rising prices and unemployment but unless they had relatives serving overseas, they had not yet sensed any real danger.
full story
By the middle of 1941 the war had started to hit home. The failure of the Greek campaign, the battle casualties and the indications that Japan might enter the war increased Australian feelings of vulnerability. Many factories had turned to war productions, from widgets to warships, and many civilians were engaged in voluntary work. In August Prime Minister Robert Menzies relinquished his position to Arthur Fadden, the leader of the Country Party, and in October the leader of the Labor Party, John Curtin, became the new Prime Minister. On 7/8 December 1941 Japan entered the war and Japanese forces began their advance.
[Photolithograph on paper 24.8 x 31cm;
image 23.4 x 29.8cm. AWM ARTV01114]
In February 1942, many Australians thought that the Japanese would invade Australia. Anticipating enemy air attack, blackout restrictions were introduced and air raid warning instructions issued. Barbed wire was also strung across many east coast beaches.
[Photolithograph 45.7 x 30.6cm AWM V1084]
To face this threat all Australians, men, women and children, were urged to put their backs into the war effort. Indeed, the adult population was mobilised for war. Women took new roles in essential industries working in what had previously been male-dominated areas. By the end of 1942, thousands of women had also joined the women's auxiliary services - the WAAAF (Women's Auxiliary Australian Air Force), the AWAS (Australian Women's Army Service) and the WRANS (Women's Royal Australian Naval Service).
Other men and women joined voluntary organisations such as the Red Cross or they helped to erect and patrol coastal defences or spot aircraft and shipping. School children collected bottles, newspapers, old tyres or anything else that could be recycled for the war effort. There was an unprecedented demand for food and other products like cotton, not only for the troops overseas and the people at home, but also for the American troops who were starting to arrive in Australia in large numbers. In June 1942, rationing was introduced, and ration books were issued for food and clothing. Two months earlier, in April, the government had launched 'Austerity' war loans to raise money for the war effort. Everyone was encouraged to go 'all in' to support Australia and Australians at war.
'Keep your head down'
Air Raid Precaution officials in conjunction with the Metropolitan Fire Brigade issued a series of air raid precaution instructions with accompanying photographs so that all Australians would be prepared for Japanese air attacks. This series of instructions was forwarded to daily and weekly newspapers for publication.

Gosford Road construction keeping many awake but may end sooner than later
Shell Oil Company is replacing a petroleum pipeline on Gosford Road from Panama Lane to White Lane that is keeping many residents awake at night.
The project began earlier this year. Shell planned on finishing the project by the end of April; however, they are ahead of track and at this rate will be off Gosford road by mid-March.
Several timeframes were evaluated when deciding what times to operate and the city and Shell came to an agreement to work from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. to avoid traffic issues during the day.
However, many people living around the area can hear the construction throughout the night and it bothers them when trying to sleep because of the noise and the lights.
The City of Bakersfield has received multiple complaints from homeowners about the disruption.
Shell has taken measures to reduce the noise level during construction. For instance, they layer the truck beds with dirt so when they place asphalt in the trucks it muffles the sound.
In addition, the Construction Superintendent sends out an inspector every time the guys are working to ensure that things are cleaned up and the roads are safe to travel on come daytime.

Virtual Villagers coming to Mac in August
updated 01:15 pm EDT, Tue July 17, 2007
Virtual Villagers for Mac
Aspyr Media today announced that it will publish the forthcoming game title Virtual Villagers from Big Fish Games, and said it anticipates a release for the Mac some time next month. Virtual Villagers is a real-time simulation game challenging players to guide villagers who washed up on shore after surviving a horrific volcanic eruption. "They learn by doing, but you might have to keep an eye on them to make sure they don't give up too easily. They need to become farmers, builders, scientists, parents and more in order to thrive on this new island. How will you lead your tribe?" The game features hundreds of unique villagers a players uncover mysteries by playing. Virtual Villagers will ship for $30, requiring Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later.

|A multiple time-scale computational model of a tumor and its micro environment.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23311365 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Experimental evidence suggests that a tumor's environment may be critical to designing successful therapeutic protocols: Modeling interactions between a tumor and its environment could improve our understanding of tumor growth and inform approaches to treatment. This paper describes an efficient, flexible, hybrid cellular automaton-based implementation of numerical solutions to multiple time-scale reaction-diffusion equations, applied to a model of tumor proliferation. The growth and maintenance of cells in our simulation depend on the rate of cellular energy (ATP) metabolized from nearby nutrients such as glucose and oxygen. Nutrient consumption rates are functions of local pH as well as local concentrations of oxygen and other fuels. The diffusion of these nutrients is modeled using a novel variation of random-walk techniques. Furthermore, we detail the effects of three boundary update rules on simulations, describing their effects on computational efficiency and biological realism. Qualitative and quantitative results from simulations provide insight on how tumor growth is affected by various environmental changes such as micro-vessel density or lower pH, both of high interest in current cancer research.

Experts will provide insight, answer questions about the healthcare law
TALLAHASSEE – Americans for Prosperity's Florida Chapter (AFP-FL) is kicking off a series of town hall meetings around the state, starting this week, aimed at providing citizens with information about the affects of the new health care law. There will be health care and tax experts, as well as insurance and medical professionals on hand to answer questions about Obamacare. The series of nine events starts Tuesday, October 12th in Sebring, and continues throughout the end of the month.

The year 2012 brings first cheerful news about Dubai real estate
When Dubai real estate market recovery gaining momentum during the Q4 of the previous year, it led the experts to think better times ahead in 2012. Since the rate of decline in rents and sale prices had been slowed down to a significant extent, the real estate market was expected to hit bottom in the first six months of the year. The recent report of the Asteco has reported that the prediction has actually turned out to be true since Dubai real estate market is remaining steady in Q1.
The residential market in Dubai is showing mixed results since the demand of premium properties is rising in Dubai across some areas while properties in other areas still seem to be in pressure. Despite the mixed results, the overall Dubai real estate market is continuing its trend of stability. On the other hand, the price of the Abu Dhabi real estate is marking considerable declines.
In comparison to the previous quarter, the rents of villas in Dubai have inched up to 1% during the Q1 of 2012, whereas the selling prices of villas have grown by 4%. The rise in the selling price of the villas is because of the increasing number of the owner-occupiers in Arabian ranches, Emirates Living and Palm Jumeirah.
The average rent of a one-bedroom apartment in Downtown Dubai has showed a 5% growth in the first three months as compared to the previous quarter. A four-bedroom villa in Arabian Ranches and a 3-bedroom villa in Meadows has marked a growth of 2% and 3% respectively. Moreover, apartment rents have also remained steady across man areas in Dubai showing that residential market is now getting back on the track slowly.
Opposite to the residential market, the commercial sector of the market has showed low performance with 2% marginal declines in the in the sale of the offices because of low number of transactions. Moreover, the rents of offices in Dubai have also declined by 1%. Though residential real estate is currently outperforming its commercial real estate of Dubai, yet the rate of decline has been slowed down as compared to the worst times. These results show that other cheerful news about Dubai real estate can be expected in the following year.

'My marriage was broken for months'Comment on this story
London - Katie Holmes claims her marriage to Tom Cruise was "irretrievably" broken for at least six months.
The former Dawson's Creek actress filed for divorce from her husband of five years last week in New York and, according to official documents, she said their union had been over for some time.
However, sources close to Tom say Katie's version of events is baffling. Sources told the gossip website TMZ.com that Tom had "no idea" she was going to legally end their marriage.
Katie - who wants sole custody of the couple's six-year-old daughter, Suri - also claimed both she and Tom have been residents of New York for "at least two years", even though their main family home is in Beverly Hills, California.
The 33-year-old beauty must establish legal residency in New York in order for the court to have jurisdiction, which is something she wants because New York courts are more likely to grant her sole custody of Suri.
However, 49-year-old Tom - who also has two children, Isabella, 19, and 17-year-old Connor, with second wife Nicole Kidman - will fight the residency claim and wants the legal proceedings switched to California, where courts are more likely to grant joint custody of a child.
Since the news of the divorce was announced, Tom admitted he was "deeply saddened", but sources claim he will respond by filing his own divorce papers in California. - Bang Showbiz

Glenville, W.Va. – On a night when seniors Ginny Mills and Kenyell Goodson were honored as they both joined the GSC 1,000 point club the #10 Lady Pioneers basketball team escaped a close call at home on Thursday evening as they defeated the Urbana University Blue Knights, 63-58.
In the first half of play GSC's largest lead would be by seven points, 18-11, at the 10:54 mark. However Urbana would cut into the Lady Pioneers lead as GSC only took a one point lead into halftime, 25-24.
Urbana would control most of the second half of play as they slowed down the pace of the game. The Blue Knights would build a seven point lead, 47-54, with only 4:33 left to play. But GSC would not give up and would take a two point lead, 58-56, with 2:14 to play.
But once again Urbana would tie it up at 58 all with 1:37 left, after that the Lady Pioneers would pull away as they would go on to win by five points, 63-58, despite Urbana trying to slow down the pace.
GSC won the battle in the paint as they outscored Urbana 25 to 18 in the paint. The Lady Pioneers also won the rebounding battle by one as they out-rebounded Urbana 40 to 39.
Kenyona Simmons led GSC as she scored a game high 14 points. Tasia Bristow scored 13 points on the night.
Jessica Parsons dished a game high 5 assists while Aesha Peters grabbed a game high 10 rebounds.
Urbana was led by Kennedy Boggs with 11 points. Boggs was the only Blue Knight to score in double figures.
The Lady Pioneers improve to 22-2 (17-1) with the win. They return to action Saturday, February 15th when they hit the road as they travel to Notre Dame College. Game time is set for 2:00 pm.

? Obama should appoint Romney the first Secretary Of Business.

Many times in the life of owning a motorcycle there is need to move it from one location to another without the enjoyment of riding it there. This will often call for using a pickup truck, a van or a trailer. Without access to the first two, the final option may be your only one. Owning a trailer makes this part much easier, but not everyone has the space to store one nor the regular need which would justify purchasing one. There is a simple solution for you, and the whole process is actually incredibly cheap.
First, it must be said that this is really only a solution for those who do not often need to trailer their motorcycle; if you use this option often, you will rack up some big charges which could be better put to use by actually buying a trailer or even a hitch-mounted carrier. For those people who only need such a service once or twice a year, renting a trailer from a local or national equipment rental company is a realistic and even frugal way to take care of your need.
One of the advantages of renting a trailer from one of the major companies will become obvious as soon as you start your search. Most of these companies rent fully-enclosed trailers. Having walls and a roof will surely make transporting your pride and joy a much less stressful event. And, there is less worry about theft as your small trailer will only make people think your on the move and you don't have much – not exactly a prime target for thieves.
Renting an enclosed trailer gives you a stable and well-maintained carrier which comes equipped with locking rear door, low loading height, extra storage room for gear, and it is designed to be pulled at legal highway speeds. It also comes equipped with decent suspension and proper lighting to keep you conspicuous.
Of course, there is the concern of its weight; however, if your tow vehicle can tow the trailer's weight, the trailer will certainly safely hold even the largest production motorcycles on the market. Having a hitch capable of hauling a rental trailer is important – you can rent them for a reasonable price as well – so keep this in mind when deciding on this route.
The cost for all of this is amazingly somewhere between US$15 and $30 per day, depending on the size you rent, and the smallest will easily fit two standard sized motorcycles – check the rental company for accurate dimensions. And, no worries about storage with a rental, most companies allow one-way rentals between even suburban locations. If you find the right provider, you can pick it up, transport the bike, and then return it the same day when you arrive at your destination (time varies with distance).
One suggestion, which will make using this method far easier, is to purchase a portable wheel chock. This will allow for better stability for your bike. No one wants to go to this much trouble only to have their motorcycle crash into the sides of the trailer should a tie-down come loose or break. Expect to pay out between US$120 and $250 for a decent model of chock.
Do your research before renting; use the Internet or your local business directory and a telephone, then get estimates and decide which will offer you the most safety for the best price. Once you have actually gone through the entire experience once, the subsequent rentals are far easier. When you look at the financials involved – purchasing and licensing a trailer can cost up to 50 times more than simply renting a trailer for two or three days – this route can make perfect sense. Add up your own numbers and see if you could save some cash for other purposes…like a new set of tires!

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - A Lexington man was hit Saturday night as he was trying to cross a street in downtown Lexington.
The man was crossing Main Street downtown, in between Limestone and Upper Street when a driver struck him with a car.
Police say the driver will most likely not be charged. They say it was difficult to see the man, since he was not using a crosswalk and was wearing dark clothing.
The man was taken to the University of Kentucky Hospital, complaining of leg and back injuries. He is expected to survive.

Fox Chase Cancer Center Scientist To Receive 1999 La Salle University Holroyd Award
PHILADELPHIA (April 19, 1999) -- For his outstanding contributions to the medical profession, Baruch S. Blumberg, M.D, Ph.D., a Fox Chase Cancer Center Distinguished Scientist, will be La Salle University's 1999 Holroyd Lecturer at the Holroyd Awards ceremony Friday, April 23, at 7pm at the La Salle Student Union.
The Holroyd Award recognizes distinguished contributions by a La Salle University Alumnus to the medical profession. This year's recipient is William F. X. Coffey, M.D., vice president and medical director of Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. The Holroyd lecture provides an opportunity to hear an expert in the field address a topic of timely importance.
Dr. Blumberg was awarded the 1976 Noble Prize in medicine for his 1967 discovery of the hepatitis B virus and devising a vaccine for hepatitis B, the first vaccine capable of preventing human cancer. He later helped to establish the link between hepatitis B and liver cancer.
Dr. Blumberg has received many subsequent honors, including election to the National Academy of Sciences, the American Philosophical Society and the National Inventors Hall of Fame. From 1989 until 1994, he was master of Balliol College at Oxford University. He has been a member of Fox Chase Cancer Center's staff since 1964, and he is now senior advisor to the Center president and a Distinguished Scientist.
Fox Chase Cancer Center is one of 35 National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer centers in the nation. Fox Chase activities include basic and clinical research; prevention, detection, and treatment of cancer; and community outreach programs.
Fox Chase Cancer Center, part of the Temple University Health System, is one of the leading cancer research and treatment centers in the United States. Founded in 1904 in Philadelphia as one of the nation's first cancer hospitals, Fox Chase was also among the first institutions to be designated a National Cancer Institute Comprehensive Cancer Center in 1974. Fox Chase researchers have won the highest awards in their fields, including two Nobel Prizes. Fox Chase physicians are also routinely recognized in national rankings, and the Center's nursing program has received the Magnet recognition for excellence four consecutive times. Today, Fox Chase conducts a broad array of nationally competitive basic, translational, and clinical research, with special programs in cancer prevention, detection, survivorship, and community outreach. For more information, call 1-888-FOX CHASE or (1-888-369-2427).

Ok, this project was going to be sold for a large sum of money to begin with (we were originally looking at selling the final product for $97).
However, some things have stumbled up in life, and I haven't been able to meet the final ideas I had for the project.
So I am selling this tool for $5 to the ***first 20 people only***
So what does it do?
Well I have spent a while getting it to work right, and it does what it says on the box, it pretty much automates generating Twitter accounts. All you have to do is keep entering the Captcha codes and pressing return. All the accounts are stored in a HTML file in a easily readable table format along with their usernames, passwords, full names and also the email account to go with them.
The program also has proxy support, HOWEVER, I have only been able to find a couple of proxies that wish to work with Twitter, so this support isn't the best, but it does work if you can find a good proxy.
The program also exports a list of the generated usernames to an accounts.txt file that can easily be used with TwitterFriendAdder to get your newly generated accounts to a big kickstart with followers.
If you would like to take up on this offer, either reply to this thread or PM me.
I am also giving away reseller rights for the program for $20, PM me if you are interested in that.
I am also considering selling the entire source for the project as I no longer have time to add extra features etc, so any programmers feel free to PM me about that, the source also has partial random avatar upload support in, that I have not had time to complete.

How to Fight Too Much Sleep
Of course getting too little sleep is not good for you, but getting too much sleep can cause lots of problems too! Though oversleeping can be a side effect of health problems, it is most often just a bad habit that you can break. Follow the steps below to start taking back control of your sleep schedule!
1Plan your day. If you know you have to get up at the same time.Ad
2Set an alarm. It doesn't have to be too early, just enough to get anywhere from 7-9 hours of sleep. Do this for at least a month and your body will get used to waking up at this time so you won't have to use the alarm. Try not to hit to snooze button, however, it trains your body to stay tired in morning. If you have a coffee machine that will start at certain time automatically, set it so you can wake up to the scent of fresh brewed coffee.
3Tell other people. If you don't hear your alarm or if you forget to set it, make sure there is somebody around to make sure you don't sleep in too late.
4Wake up at the same time on weekends. If you break your habit of getting 7-9 hours of sleep everyday, it'll be harder to get back into the routine on the week days.
5Have a morning routine. It may be sit-ups followed by a shower, getting dressed, and coffee. But once it's a habit, then you will automatically do it when you wake up instead of rolling over for a few more Z's.
6Wake up and do something. Once you've done your routine, get moving. Walk to work, or if you drive, park a bit out and take the stairs up. On the weekend, you can go for a walk or vacuum. Whatever you do, get your blood moving. It'll let you clear mental cobwebs left by sleep and settle into wakefulness.
7Be healthy. By replenishing the vitamins and nutrients in your body, you can keep yourself on track. Drink lots of water because dehydration can make you overtired and can make it harder to wake up in the morning.
8Exercise. Keeping your blood flowing during the day can keep your body in shape and will make your sleeping habits more healthy. If your job doesn't allow you to get some sort of physical activity, try jogging or yoga before dinner. However, don't exercise before bedtime or it will make it harder to fall asleep.
9Reduce the amount of caffeine you consume in a day. Caffeine late in the day can reduce your quality of sleep, leading to grogginess in the morning.Ad
Give us 3 minutes of knowledge!
- Take at least a week or so to prepare yourself or even longer.
- If you are having extraordinary difficulty waking up each day, please seek assistance from a sleep specialist, as there are several sleep disorders (example: idiopathic hypersomnia) that might be outside of your ability to control. If you find yourself sleeping through whole days despite attempting the advice listed in this article, you should seek further advice from a sleep specialist.

Ruins, temples and museums of Ayutthaya
What you came for
What we say:
Unlike Sukhothai historical park, the collective sights of Ayutthaya are not neatly situated in a single park that can be easily explored in a single day.
Several of the main sites to the northwest of the island -- including Wat Mahathat, Wat Phra Ram, Wat Ratchaburana, Wat Phra Sri Sanphet, Wiharn Phra Mongkhon Bophit, Wat Lokkayasuttharam and Chao Sam Phraya National Museum -- are relatively close to one another and together have a 'historical park' atmosphere. If just wanting to see these easy-to-find highlights, a single day and a bicycle is all you need. Each of the major sites in this area charge admission fees individually (100 or 50 baht for most of the big ones).
If you have the time, however, some of Ayutthaya's best sites -- Chedi Phu Khao Thong, Wat Putthaisawan and Wat Yai Chai Mongkhun to name a few -- are located outside of the island and take a little more effort to reach. It would be a tiring day if wanting to hit all of these by bicycle, and the roads, especially heading over the bridge into east Ayutthaya, can be busy with fast moving traffic. Rented motorbike is a fine means to explore outside the island if you're experienced at it. Otherwise, many choose to tour the outlying sights on a tuk tuk or boat tour.
Here you'll find a comprehensive list of the most worthwhile sights in Ayutthaya, but several other minor ruins do pop up throughout the area -- some are surrounded by major roads and bustling modern city to the east while others sit neglected amid paddy to the west and south.

|Does evidence of inflammation on Papanicolaou smears of pregnant women predict preterm labor and delivery?
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 1462789 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: Preterm delivery is the most common cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality in the United States. There is evidence that cervicovaginal infection could predispose to preterm labor. This study explored a possible association of evidence of inflammation on an otherwise normal Papanicolaou smear obtained during pregnancy with subsequent preterm labor and preterm delivery. METHODS: Using a retrospective matched cohort design, we studied women who gave birth to live singleton infants at the University of Missouri Hospital and Clinics during a 21-month period. Papanicolaou smears were obtained from 1 to 8 months before delivery and were interpreted in the same cytopathology laboratory. Data pertaining to outcome variables and potential confounding variables were collected from hospital charts. RESULTS: Incidence rates were 14.4 percent for labor < 37 weeks' gestation (preterm labor), 12.3 percent for hospitalization for preterm labor, 9.9 percent for delivery < 37 weeks (preterm delivery), 2.6 percent for delivery < 34 weeks, and 7.5 percent for birth weight < 2500 g. On univariate and multivariate analyses, there were no significant differences in any outcome between the 293 women with inflammation and the 284 women without inflammation on Papanicolaou smear. Results were unchanged when the analysis was limited to the 412 women who received no antibiotics during pregnancy. Among the 38 women with a history of preterm labor or preterm delivery, those with cervical inflammation had a higher rate of preterm labor than those without inflammation. CONCLUSIONS: In the sample as a whole, there was little evidence that findings of inflammation on Papanicolaou smear constituted a risk factor for preterm labor or preterm delivery. The data suggest that inflammation could be associated with an increased risk in a subgroup of women at higher risk by virtue of their obstetric history.

HARRISBURG, Pa. — The state House has approved legislation that would permit the use of audio recordings on school buses, The Morning Call reports. Under the bill, school boards would have to vote on a local policy outlining audiotaping rules, send parents written notices at the beginning of each school year about audio bus recordings and post warning placards on buses about audiotaping.The state Senate had previously approved Senate Bill 57, but it only dealt with audio recordings on yellow buses. According to The Morning Call, when Senate Bill 57 moved to the House Judiciary Committee, it was amended to also allow police to use audio-equipped cameras anywhere except in a residence without prior court approval.The amended bill now moves back to the Senate, which could vote on it next year. Sen. Rich Alloway, the bill's prime sponsor, told The Morning Call that he did not think the law enforcement amendment would stop the Senate from approving the bill.

Users attempting to install Windows with Apple's dual-boot solution are prompted to install "Windows 8 or later" by the setup assistant, according to independent Mac developers Twocanoes. Apple subsequently confirmed the changes with an update to its Boot Camp support documentation uncovered by MacWindows.com.
The change is unlikely to please professional users who will be forced to choose between upgrading to Windows 8, migrating their Windows 7 environment to a virtualization package, or choosing a different Mac. The oft-maligned Windows 8 has suffered much the same fate as Windows Vista, largely passed over by corporate IT departments and professional users thanks to its controversial architecture and user interface changes.
The new Mac Pro is the first Mac to drop support for Microsoft's previous-generation operating system, but subsequent releases will presumably follow suit. Apple stopped supporting Windows XP and Vista installations beginning with the second-generation MacBook Air, just under two years after the release of Windows 7.

Brighten dull skin with illuminator for the spring season
My skin is so looking forward to saying goodbye to the harsh, dry winter air. However if it's still cold during the spring season where you live (or even if it's not), you can brighten your face by using illuminator makeup. Giving your face an overall dewy and fresh faced look, you need just a tiny drop of illuminator makeup atop your normal tinted moisturizer or foundation to brighten your overall look.

XC is generally less technical, there are less obstacles on the trails. trails are usually well groomed. drops are small, usually a foot or less. suspension for XC bikes is normally 3-4 inches of travel, its kinda like road cycling on dirt. a lot of XC riders are all about going really fast on thier lighter weight bikes.
trail bikes normally have 4-5 inches of travel and are made a lot beefier and can weigh more. trail riding is kinda like riding on a hiking trail, the trail builders may not have bikes in mind. there are gnarly parts where you might have to get off and walk, you might have to ride over a flowing creek bed. there could be lots of rocky sections. there arent as many hard tails in the trail bike category, suspension and control are key.
XC geometry is usually more upright and the bikes have shorter wheel bases
trail bikes usually have a more slack geometry and lower standover height

An inclination towards more lycra and clipless pedals on XC... more baggy shorts and platform pedals on trail riding...
where I'm from anyways...
Trail = clipless and baggies for me. Freeride = platform and baggies.
Trail riding = riding trails on a bike...using pedals that you like...wearing some sort of clothing so the saddle doesn't split your nethers.

I hope they never stop making hardtail trail bikes!
No difference between the two. It's just a way for the average mountain biker to dissociate from world of XC racing.
[mba mag]As long as there's paved sidewalks and dirt paths there will always be a place for hardtails.[/mba mag]I hope they never stop making hardtail trail bikes!
It seems silly to need to define any of this crap.
mountain biking
"I tell you, We are here on earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you any different." - Kurt Vonnegut jr.
Yeah, when I started riding ~12yrs. ago, there was only XC and downhill(downhill racers used hardtails back then). I've always considered it XC if you spend most of the saddle time climbing, even if there is plenty of gnarly, technical ups and downs. A rose by any other name...
No suspension on my XC bike. I prefer it that way. Why would anyone need suspension for trails that are "usually well groomed. drops are small, usually a foot or less." ??? Just learn to ride with good technique. AFAIK full suspension rigs were setup to take drops that were just too big to absorb with arms/legs, which wouldn't be in the category of XC riding.
as junkyard said, much of this terminology is derived from marketing ploys. the idea is, to act like their are big differences between the various "disciplines" of mountain biking is to plant the seed of doubt in your mind. "Can i ride xc on my trailbike? what about trail-riding on my all-mountain rig? do i need to get permission to take my freeride bike on a downhill adventure?"
That being said, there are many differences between various bikes, riders, and places to ride, not to mentio the style with which one rides these bikes at these places. Lebowski's explanation above is a solid one. Essentially, i think you should ride what works for you, where it works for you, while wearing what works for you. As challenges arise that you can't get around by learning new skills, you might want to get new gear/a new bike. Sometimes trails are too steep for me to fully enjoy on my bike with classic "xc" geometry, for example. And, if you tend to ride in cutoff jeans, a longer ride might convince you to get some shorts with a chamois down the line. But, really, there are no hard and fast rules, and no truly concise definitions. Yes, some riders are snobby and fashion-conscious, and they may deride you for riding the wrong bike at the wrong trail or wearing the wrong attire. Obviously, this behavior is pathetic, and those who cannot stop it need to go become roadies somewhere.
FWIW, unless youre riding the street or skateparks, you're probably riding your mtb on a trail, so the term "trailriding", when used to differentiate one style of mtb-riding from others, never made much sense to me.

if it twasn't all divided up like it is then mtb'ng wouldn't be so Specialized.
No further comment.
(Junkyard- sorry to disappoint.)
"I tell you, We are here on earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you any different." - Kurt Vonnegut jr.
I always included trail riding with XC.
then all mountain and freeride, in my book go together, and then you have Dirt Jump, and then Down hill.
I find a lot of these terms are just made-up marketing devices to fool people.
I, am still after that "Jack of all trades, Master of none" frame....
2007 Kona Dawg
2009 Trek 3900
I built my Shadow thinking Jack of all trades. It basically turned in to a AMLFRHTBSH that wouldn't seem right on DJs but would take damn near everything else.
How you like them apples?
just get some good geometry on there and you can do whatever the hell you want. Maybe with a 29 inch wheel perhaps...

Problem areas claimed from Chinese drywall include: copper wiring that has turned black, copper air conditioning coils and metal bathroom accessories that have corroded after exposure. / news-press.com file photos
Drywall complaints from 32 states and Washington, D.C.
Percent of the complaints, or 1,425, that come from Florida.
$3.5 million
Amount the Consumer Product Safety Commission has spent on testing so far
Estimated number of U.S. homes reportedly having tainted drywall. The CPSC claims that this estimate is too high and is asking governors and other state agencies to help provide information.
Plug in: Read the latest on Chinese drywall, view lawsuit documents and connect with other readers
1:10 A.M. — The only concrete result from the latest round of testing in a $3.5 million federal investigation into defective Chinese drywall is that the drywall is linked to corrosion damage in homes.
That link has been a given for the state health department, other independent laboratories, toxicologists and homeowners for months.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission, which heads an interagency federal-state task force seeking answers to the drywall problem, failed Monday to come up with the answer homeowners are so desperate to hear: That the drywall is linked to health symptoms they say they are suffering.
Meanwhile, two other preliminary studies an electrical component corrosion study and a fire safety corrosion study were inconclusive.
More testing is needed, said Scott Wolfson, commission spokesman.
Richard Kampf, a Cape Coral homeowner who has the drywall, doesnt want to wait any more.
Hes happy the link to corrosion was confirmed, but disappointed that the agency didnt outline the next steps to give homeowners relief besides more testing.
Theyre going to study us to death, he said.
If the task force doesnt come up with something soon to indicate what kind of federal aid they can provide, you are going to see a significant number of people, including the Kampfs, putting the key in the door and leaving, he said.
That would cause another wave of foreclosures in an already flooded market, he said.
U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Orlando, also expressed frustration after speaking with commission Chairwoman Inez Tenenbaum and hearing she could not give a date when the testing would be complete.
I am very disappointed with the whole process, and especially that the CDC and EPA cant say whether drywall is harmful to peoples health, Nelson said.
One positive step is that the CPSC says an individual homeowner screening test has been approved to determine corrosion, which could allow an IRS casualty loss deduction on a homeowners income tax return, he said.
Five months of testing in 51 homes showed a strong association between levels of hydrogen sulfide and corrosion of metals in the homes, said Jack McCarthy, president of Environmental Health and Engineering, which conducted the study for the commission.
The results say that hydrogen sulfide and formaldehyde in the homes are at concentrations below irritant levels, but if they interact together along with other compounds in the homes, that could possibly cause some irritation for homeowners, Wolfson said.
Again, more testing is needed, he said.
Now that the link to corrosion is confirmed, the task force will form another task force within its ranks to come up with a testing protocol and then the guidelines for fixing the drywall. But that is months away, Wolfson said.
Florida House Democratic leader Franklin Sands issued a forceful statement after the release of the results, calling on the state legislature to consider taking urgent action in the next legislative session.
The current situation is unacceptable and must be urgently remedied. The catastrophe involves builders and contractors unwilling or unable to remediate the damage. Homeowners insurance companies are denying coverage or, in some cases, dropping policies after people report the existence of defective drywall.
He wants the Legislature to coordinate a response to help residents embroiled in the drywall crisis.
Kampf said an immediate remedy would be for Gov. Charlie Crist to declare a disaster in the drywall crisis to the commission, which would make state residents eligible for federal funds, he said.
They could house people in trailers or other homes that have been foreclosed on, he said.

Technology Enhancement Grant (TEG)
Program Description
The Technology Enhancement Grant (TEG) Program provides non-repayable grant funding to North Carolina universities or other NC research institutions through their respective technology transfer or entrepreneurship partners. Under this program, awards of up to $75,000 are available to fund a commercially-focused research study to enhance the university's licensing position for a commercially promising technology. The proposed project will ideally incorporate study endpoints designed to meet key milestones defined by potential licensees or industry-experienced technology development advisors.
Proposals to the TEG program must:
- Be submitted by (1) a technology transfer officer (or other official with licensing authority), or (2) a representative of a qualified entrepreneurial development organization, working on behalf of a North Carolina university or non-profit research institution.
- Pertain to a proprietary life sciences technology.
- Demonstrate that protection of licensable intellectual property (IP) has been initiated (minimally, the filing of a provisional patent).
- Attest that the IP rights are assigned to the applicant's institution and have not been committed through license, option or letter-of-intent to license to any third-party at the time of application.
- Demonstrate that an initial review of the technology and its commercial opportunity has been reviewed by an independent technology development professional, or that a dialog with an independent potential licensee of the technology has been initiated.
The Biotechnology Center determines compliance with these requirements at its sole discretion on a case-by-case basis.
Permitted Use of Funds
TEG funds are intended to support activities directly associated with the execution of a research project that is designed to achieve a significant technical milestone in the evolution of a technology from basic science to licensable commercial product or service. Examples of such projects include establishment of proof-of-concept, lead identification or optimization, target validation, prototype development, preliminary safety testing, etc. Funding may be used to engage a non-academic contract research provider as needed. Please note that these funds may not be used to fund a basic science research study that is not directly tied to any commercial application or established licensing milestone. TEG funds may not be applied to expenses incurred prior to the date of award notification. The use of TEG funds for activities other than those approved by the Biotechnology Center is strictly prohibited unless prior written permission is obtained.
Application Procedures
Qualified applicants (as defined above) interested in applying for a TEG are invited to contact us as directed below to discuss the proposed project and the application procedures.
Pre-Proposal: Once eligibility and general fit for the program have been established, the applicant will be invited to submit a brief (2-page) pre-proposal describing the technology, its likely commercial application(s), IP and licensing status, licensing discussions to date, an overview of the proposed study, and how the study will directly impact the applicant's ability to license the technology.
Full Proposal: Upon satisfactory review of the pre-proposal, the applicant will be invited to submit a full application. This application will expand upon each component described in the pre-proposal as well as provide a cover sheet, summary and detailed budget, and other supporting documentation as needed. The final proposal should be 10-15 pages in length.
Review and Approval: The Business and Technology Development team will thoroughly review the submitted proposal and will present competitive proposals to the Biotechnology Center's President/CEO for final review and approval.
Application Deadlines: TEG submissions are accepted and approved on a rolling basis throughout the year.
Post Award Considerations
Fund distribution: TEG funds are distributed as reimbursements on an invoicing basis, requiring the submission of receipts to the Biotechnology Center's Contracts & Grants Office.
Repayment: TEG awards are non-repayable grants made to the university or institutional awardee.
Progress reports: Mid-term and final project reports are required which include a detailed update of progress against proposed milestones and time lines, as well as actual spending to date versus budget. The Biotechnology Center will actively monitor progress until the project is completed.

Hi all,

Rush 2112 - 5.1 Surround
Back in October, word was released of a pending Rush package – 2112 mixed in 5.1 BluRay, to which I tweeted:
"Yep, words out. I've been working on the surround remix of #Rush
#2112 for months. Queue rear waterfall."
— richard chycki (@chycki) October 24, 2012
Let's go back in time a bit to late December 2004. I had just finished a 19-hour studio day working with Rush (for the first time) on a Tsunami Relief Charity which was broadcast on CBC in Canada, also late 2004. When I first met with Alex [Lifeson] in early 2005 about the possibility of doing more work together on R30, our first conversation veered off to a coffee laden all out bond-fest about how exciting 2112 would be remixed in 5.1. Our second subject was the mixing of R30 – go figure.
In a nutshell, this concept has been in stasis for quite some time and it's a pinnacle moment with such a revered artist (and with my gratitude meter completely pinned) that we finally see this project come to light.
Like the other Rush surround releases to date – Moving Pictures, A Farewell To Kings, Fly By Night, and Signals – 2112 has been remixed at a 96 khz 24 bit high resolution from the original multitrack masters in a 're-creation' direction taking advantage of the 3-dimensional soundscape of surround, rather than a complete re-interpretation of the mix. I have had quite a few questions about the technical side of the process so time depending, I'll try to get an article put together about it and get it posted here or published.
BTW, I love all the reviews at amazon.com about this package. Can anyone explain all those pre-release reviews of non-product?
