As someone who's worked in various tech- and gaming-related jobs, it should be no surprise that I've accumulated a few tech- and gaming-related tees. Well, more than a few. Okay, a lot. I have a lot of tech tees in my drawer. Actually, I have a lot of t-shirts in general. But not all tees are created alike -- some t-shirts just get worn more than others, either because of the occasion (concerts, conventions, parties) or because I just like some of them more.
This one was an early favorite, purchased from Thinkgeek. I usually hate baby doll t-shirts but for this one I make an exception -- it glows in the dark.
I don't actually use Outlook.com at all. I just like how soft this shirt is and I look good in blue. This is more of a "hanging around the house" shirt, though.
Okay, it's more science fiction than tech, but hey, science fiction has tech in it, and this Futurama "Galaxy Express" shirt has a spaceship on it. SPACESHIP!
Do you have any tech (or other nerdy) shirts that you're proud of? Show them off!
Discussion about
Show off your tech tees!
The only tech shirts I have are my MailChimp shirt which is doing duty as a pajama shirt and gdgt shirts... which I still wear constantly. :D

Christmas is just around the corner and many of you have already put up your holiday decorations. One man in east Idaho who specializes in making these decorations is having an open house for all to see.
"Started 25 years ago, just kind of was looking for a hobby and stumbled upon it, started melting pop bottles in the garage and it was just so fascinating I thought I've got to try this, you know, decided to buy the right kinds of glass and the right equipment and started off" said Russel Lewis owner of A Touch of Glass.
Now Russel Lewis is making mouth-dropping pieces like these.
He told me about the hardest piece he's ever made.
"It's a huge piece of hard glass, and so we worked on it, the wife had to help me, we had to have all the torches going on it and it literally took us days we'd work on it, put it back in the over, keep it hot and we worked on it for just days on end to get that much mass and get it the right shape and the right color and everything" continued Lewis.
The torch can reach up to 3200 degrees.
Lewis wears didymium glasses that help filter out the sodium flare so he can see what he's doing a lot better.
"It's a great winter hobby because you're always warm but other than that it's just challenging, fun to see what you can make out of a piece of rod" said Lewis.
Lewis is having an open house for the public to show how he does his work.
The open house will be today until 8 p.m. and all day tomorrow.

England Travel Guide
The Southbank Center needs little introduction; the world-famous art space has hosted some of the biggest names in arts and culture globally since its creation in 1951.
It's brave, it's bold, it's dynamic and so much on show is funny. With a 150-seat theater, a 90-seat theater, and a beguiling cabaret space, programming runs throughout the day and evening.
Families flock to this museum, as do school kids taking part in field trips (380,000 visit as part of a school group each year).
At the Royal Court, the focus is on new works, and tapping the untapped when it comes to writers. Its track record is unparalleled, having helped launch careers of Caryl Churchill and David Hare.
The Royal Academy is a working institution, a living and breathing home for art and artists.
This historic museum opened in 1857 and saw another monumental landmark in 2012 when Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge became a patron. Explore portraits of famous citizens, from Tudor Kings and Queens like King Henry VII in 1505 to the Bronte Sisters in 1834.
There's more than 50 years of history propping up the Hampstead Theatre, and many of the world's top actors have appeared on its stage, from Alan Rickman to Rowan Atkinson, John Hurt to John Malkovich, Anna Chancellor to Faye Dunaway.
Calling this a cinema is practically reductive; instead, The Electric is an experience.
Since 1992, the Donmar Warehouse have won 43 Laurence Olivier Awards, 28 Evening Standard Awards, and 20 Tony Awards with its productions.
First built in 1837, it wasn't established as the Almeida until the 1980s. A 325-person theater spread out over two floors, it offers some of the most inventive and well-produced productions in the city.
When you visit Somerset House in the summer, you're greeted by 55 fountains in the front courtyard. In the winter, that same space becomes an unmissable ice rink.
A stunning Covent Garden landmark, the Royal Opera House is home to the Royal Opera Company and the Royal ballet, this venue's best-known patron is HRH The Prince of Wales. The theater was built in 1858 and is one of the most elegant buildings in London.
The doors to Ronnie Scott's first opened in 1959, when the saxophonist of the same name opened an intimate space for fellow jazz musicians to play. It has since become the preeminent space for jazz in London.
Award-winning, elegant, and original, the Regent's Park Open Air Theatre is a summertime must. With 1,250 seats, it's one of the city's largest venues, and each year more than 140,000 people attend their productions from May through September.
John Soanes was a prominent 19th century architect. His house has remained untouched for nearly 180 years and is an example of living art. While alive in London, he amassed an impressive and diverse collection of art, sculpture, and furniture, and today, the museum is a haven of eccentricities.

South Korea: Being Native English Teacher and Reverse Racism
Written by Lee Yoo Eun On 16 February 2014 @ 17:16 pm | 3 Comments
In Arts & Culture, East Asia, Education, English, Ideas, Korean, Language, LANGUAGES, Migration & Immigration, Quick Reads, South Korea, TOPICS, TYPE, WORLD
Geoffrey Fattig of Jeollamite blog shares his brutally honest opinion [1]on reverse and latent racism in South Korea, urging fellow native English teachers who under-appreciate a fairly good working condition to stop whining. Some of the highlights of his post are:
On the whole, though, Korea is a pretty easy place to teach English, and playing that foreign card has brought far more advantages than not over the seven years I've been in the country. I would add though, that being a tall white guy probably has a lot to do with it.

Branch is closedPosted on 09 / 06 / 2012
Try the other branch (La Latina) on San Andres, which is still open.
Try the other branch (La Latina) on San Andres, which is still open.
Small shop with a large range of vegetarian and organic food and vegetables. Has a selection of boxed salads and wraps in a refridgerator and deserts, sold by weight. There is a large table at which the food can be eaten if you don't want to take it away. It was tasty and priced very moderately. The staff spoke English.
I had some small bites on the go, it was nice to have some actual vegan Spanish food! The shop has a great range of chilled, fresh and frozen veggie goods too. The lady serving spoke excellent English to boot!
Viva la Vida is a buffet & take away restaurant. It is a small buffet, but with a wide variety of choices. The store also has a small bio-market with soy yogurts, bio yogurts, breads, cookies and tofu and other veggie goddies.
On one hand, the best day to go is during weekdays for lunch. There is a menu for 500 g + drink for 10 euros. A dessert buffet is also found there, which includes carrot cake (so good!), brownie, chocolate chips or oat cookies, muffins...
On the other hand, there isn't a comfortable place to seat in Huertas Viva la Vida. There are two seats inside the buffet and another two outside. The Viva la Vida in La Latina has large lounge, but I haven't visited it yet. However, the decoration of Viva la Vida is unique. It's colorful, green and filled with plants.
Great place! It was a warmish evening, so my friend and I sat outside to tuck into our take-out boxes. We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance, as we had previously decided not to visit after reading a few wobbly reviews on Happy Cow. The selection is amazing, and we got a bit of everything - as well as the usual salads and veggie burgers, we had crepes, sushi, lasagne, curry, patatas bravas, couscous, polenta 'pizza', paella, and a huge array of croquettes to choose between. My box came to ten euros, and I had plenty leftover for a midnight snack.
This place uses good ingredients, delicious recipes and changes their offerings regularly. There is no reason not to love it, except that in the winter, there are four (4) seats inside. In warm weather, there are another four (4) outside. It is basically a buffet and you pay by the weight. Not cheap, but really good. They also have baked goods that are fresh and delicious, and produce and dry goods and a cool case so you can grab what you need for tomorrow's breakfast or dinner.
A buffet (the food is weighed at the cash register) with a really BIG choice of food to pile up on your plate(s). As with all such places there is always a chance you'll choose something which doesn't turn out to be so tasty as it looked, but that chance is very small at this place. The price is OK, my plate was about 12€ but I'm big and I was very hungry. :) Also, the atmosphere is great, excellent interior decoration.
You get a large selection of really tasty and healthy food. Imaginative recipes, freshly cooked and prepared. There is a small counter in the store where 2 people can eat, not very comfortably.
You end up paying a price that is similar to a restaurant that provides seating, but you can assemble a very varied meal. And the food is really good.
The do have a place that has seating, and similar food, called Latina, at Plaza de la Paja. Haven't been there.
I signed up for this website for the sole purpose of giving a different perspective on this restaurant. Later I realized that the review refers to the Huertas location, when I was thinking about the Plaza de la Paja location. What follows refers to the new, much larger location at Plaza de la Paja in Madrid. // Firstly, let me state that I am American, have lived in Madrid for over twenty years, and am vegan/50% raw vegan. I love Viva la Vida. The decor is so lively and pleasing that I have thought about decorating my house in the same way. The food is all buffet food and absolutely delicious. I know many "omnis" who eat there and love it. I LOVE that it takes maximum ten minutes from arrival to scarfing down piles of food (great when you're starving!). A sizeable plate of food runs about 10-12 euros. It might seem expensive, but it is still cheaper than a restaurant. There is organic beer and wine, the beer costing only about 2.50 euros. You can sit outside on the lovely and popular square, Plaza de la Paja, a bit tucked away and not as touristy as other places. I love that you can eat as little or as much as you want, and try 20 different things without having to order 20 different dishes. Plus, you can occupy a table all night long if you want to (no one rushes you out); my girlfriends and I have started meeting here instead of at someone's house, because it's just as pleasant and creates no work (unlike being a host). Everyone stands in line and pays for their own food, so no issues about splitting the bill. I love the curried vegetables, vegetarian lasagna, polenta, chickpea salads, veg nori rolls, etc. For vegans and raw vegans, options are more limited, but you do have options. Admittedly, a lot of the food is probably fairly high fat. I go there when I want to treat myself and pig out, but that's just me (no one is forcing me to choose all the high fat options). But everyone loves the food here! I couldn't believe it got such a negative review from someone. There is pleasing decor, a varied and interesting crowd, ease of access, delicious food... all very affordable. Keep in mind that organic ingredients are significantly more expensive. A lot of people on weekends. Smoking section downstairs, and sometimes music. It is a great alternative to a typical restaurant format. In short, it is definitely worth checking out at least once... you might love it as much as I and (almost) everyone else do!
The ambient is good but has a deceptive food quality...very salty in general .. trying to be a wannabe take out vegetarian place which has NO SOUL !!! the cooks definitely has no idea of what they are doing ... a bit pricey (100g = 2.10 euros) ....you would rather eat in a restaurant for menu del dia which costs around 8-12euros at other places...i would definitely not recommend this place...it's a total deception from the outside appearance !!!

This house at 701 Jefferson St. was formerly on the city of Wausau's list of chronic nuisance properties.
The city has deemed eight properties chronic nuisance premises so far this year - something the city began to keep track of in January 2013 in an effort to fight blight.
Properties are identified as chronic offenders if they are the host to problems resulting in arrests or citations on three occasions on separate days within a six-month period. Offenses that qualify include everything from building code violations to residents making or selling drugs on the premises.
From January 2013 to November, the city had listed 50 properties, mainly rentals near the city's core, as chronic offenders. ...

Hopping among the popular restaurants and watering holes stretching from Gaines Street to Midtown can be a chore. Even if you have a car, parking isn't easy.
But sometime later next month or so, the city of Tallahassee is expected to roll out its new trolley service, designed to provide free transportation to and from those destinations. The service will begin with two designated StarMetro buses that eventually will be replaced by trolleys that previously were used in West Palm Beach.
If you're interested in how all of this will work, you can find out more about the details at a third and final public hearing today from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Council on Culture and Arts (COCA) building, 816 S. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., near the All Saints district.
Although the routes have been set for the most part, it's important that your voice is heard, because this service, whch is expected to cost about $120,000 in the first phase (with two buses), is being paid for by taxpayers. The idea is to bring a new service to Tallahassee that helps to promote the growing entertainment and dining offerings in the city.
The route will begin in the Woodward Avenue-Gaines Street area, with stops along Macomb Street and College Avenue, and continue to Sixth Avenue and Thomasville Road. The service will be provided from 5 p.m. to 3 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays. A second phase of the plan is expected to begin next spring and extend the route from Sixth Avenue to Betton Place.
As we've said before, this service could become an attractive option for college students, residents and employees who work downtown. It also will ease parking from the new Gaines Street entertainment/retail/residential communities to those businesses in Midtown. It could prove to be very popular during the football season.
At the same time, it is an expense taken on by the city of Tallahassee during a tough budgeting period. Ridership numbers and responses from the business community will help determine if it's a wise investment or a service best left in the hands of the private sector.

love that cougar and her kitten ... They should have names for the stars so we can search out more videos by the Cougar or Kitten's name ..... they really cut this up poorly would have liked to see whole scene
good 69
Those "girls" are not lesbians. This has nothing to do with lesbian sex. True lesbian sex is a lot more steaming, close and intense. This is typical porn for men. You guys are missing out of a LOT ;-) Pitty that there are not any good lesbian porn on the net.
Pretty hilarious lesbian freakshow.
I would like to be the first to actually leave an intellectual message on this comments part of the video. It was a good video but could be better if they didn't cut out parts of it. You feel like it's going to lead up to something and it jumps to another scene. Very stupid. But very, very hot.
Two Glorious Goddesses. Thank you. Praise the Goddess Cunt!.

Hey Wet pussy, you need to have your pussy lick by a woman. I'm telling you have to have the experience at least once. Personally I prefer to do the licking. I would dominate your pussy in ways that would have you cumming in your dreams. Women are natural pleasers so we will do what it takes to make another woman happy.
Wish they could fuck me
i'll lick it zara ;)
Agree. Lesbian girls in today's sex scene are so awesome...they are total sluts in heat and also make beautiful love to each other. The world needs to see pretty lesbians in bed together, it is majical and the orgasms are insane. I could watch girls like this kiss and fuck for hours!!!

Hey wet pussy I'm not a woman but it take u for a spin

So my exam is tomorrow
and I'm doing final prep and a few more mock exams.
I've been trying to figure out a good technique that is simple enough to memorise (as if I don't have enough to remember as it is!) and carry out under exam pressure.
I did a mock exam in exam conditions and tried out the suggested technique on pages xxxvi to xxxviii of the K&B book. This technique involves doing 4 passes through the exam. In particular the first pass is supposed to take less that 25% of the time, but if you work that out, it comes to about 36 seconds a question. Now I don't know about anyone else here, but it usually takes me that long to figure out if I should go straight for the "compile fails" option.
Also, with 4 passes through the exam, I feel I'm spending too much time going between questions and so am not able to focus properly. With this in mind, I'm leaning towards 2 passes, plus a final check.
What exam technique are you planning to use and why? If you have already taken the exam, what technique did you use and how did you find it?
One other thing - has anyone taken the exam at a Prometric centre recently? Have they fixed the bug which can erase your answers to drag-n-drop questions if you try and review them? Apparently Prometric only offer white-boards and dry markers (no paper and pencils allowed), so there won't be enough space to write out answers to drag-n-drop questions, as suggested in the K&B book.

Yeah Andrew,
I completely agree with you regarding going 4 rounds to a question. We get little time to focus on a question. Your strategy seems to be good as you say
2 rounds + review.
What I think, in first round, you may choose the correct answer if you read the question carefully, don't overlook any point and this is only possible when have taken proper attention over a question.
Drag&Drop issue is very horrible. I would also like to know whether that problem has been solved or not.

Having passed the exam, I thought I'd provide feedback on my planned exam technique, for the benefit of those who haven't taken their exam yet.
My first pass through the questions took longer than I had planned. I then went back for a second pass and checked/completed all of the marked questions. After that I only had 25 minutes left for checking, which meant that I only really had time to check that I had given the appropriate number of answers for each question. I probably could have used another 20 minutes to half an hour for thorough checking.
So my advice would be to make sure you keeping timing under control on that crucial first pass through the exam. I found it took me about 15-20 minutes to really get "warmed up" or "into the zone". If I was doing the exam again, I would probably be more inclined to mark-and-skip any questions that weren't obvious straight away during this initial period.
With regard to the drag-n-drop questions, the situation is pretty much as described in the K&B book, but you do get a warning that informs that you will loose your original answer if you try and review a drag-n-drop question (note: you also get this warning if you have simply viewed the question! I would recommend using the whiteboard to record the drag-n-drop questions and ticking them off once they are complete, or only unmark the question when you have completed it). I suspect I probably dropped most of my marks on the drag-n-drop questions as a result of this basic usability issue. Very annoying.
One other tip - if you are based in the UK and are thinking about using the
centre in Reading, make sure you call them and check that the air conditioning has been fixed or use another centre. It got so hot in the test room I actually felt quite faint at times
Note to moderators: please leave this thread in this forum, rather than moving it to the "success stories", as I think it will be useful for people who haven't taken the exam yet, who probably don't check the "success stories" forum so much.
I agree. Here's the link:

THE Stratford Mop of 1914 appeared little changed from previous years. Wartime austerity had not yet set in and few people foresaw that the conflict would be lengthy. One of the great traditions of the fair was its roasts. No less than five oxen and seven pigs were rotating on the spits outside the pubs on the big day. The excursion trains brought their usual hundreds of revellers from Birmingham and other centres of population. None of Stratford's conscripts had yet embarked overseas, although just five days before, a regular with the South Wales Borderers, Sgt RH Savage, had been the first Stratfordian to fall victim to the war. He had been struck by shrapnel at the Battle of the Aisne and died of his wounds in Bournbrook Military Hospital.
Four years ago Ellis Holtom, of Stratford-upon-Avon, was born with half a working heart. Later, the Herald featured his condition as a tribute to the work of Birmingham Children's Hospital where he was treated. Now, to mark Congenital Heart Defect Week his mum, Vicki, updates his story. . .
ALL 326 local planning authorities in England, councils like Stratford-on-Avon District, need a local plan. The core strategy is a component of that local plan. It contains all the local district wide policies that need to be considered when processing planning applications. New development needs to satisfy local needs, helping to realise the hopes and ambitions of its communities and protect them from situations they fear. New homes and places to work should provide then with a healthy lifestyle, a pleasant place to live, good recreational facilities and above all the infrastructure that enhances their quality of life. The buzzword to describe this is 'sustainable'.
THE poor are paying more than they should be for their energy, according to damning new evidence from Stratford-upon-Avon's Citizens Advice Bureau. Prepayment meters (PPMs) are costing users in fuel poverty a "disproportionate amount" for what little gas and electricity they can afford, the bureau has found. There are around 7.2 million people on prepayment meters in the UK and several thousand in the district of Stratford. Despite Stratford's reputation as an affluent area, the bureau is being forced to come to the aid of more and more people living in fuel poverty on an increasingly regular basis.
A POLICE helicopter and water rescue team were called to Stratford-upon-Avon on Tuesday afternoon to deal with a man seen jumping into the River Avon.
Eyewitnesses saw the helicopter land in a field opposite the racecourse, while three ambulance vehicles, two fire engines, and police cars raced towards Stannell's Bridge on the Greenway.
The emergency services were turned out because at the time it was thought the man was a "suicide risk".
When paramedics arrived the man was out of the water.
He was taken to Warwick Hospital for a check-up but yesterday it was confirmed he was "safe and well".
"We were called to a person in the river because there were concerns for his welfare," a police spokesperson said.
"He was taken to hospital, but there were no injuries and he is now safe and well."
The fire service brought a water rescue team as a precaution, but they were not needed.
Eyewitness Charlie Pinfold said: "It was around 1.20pm when I noticed a police chopper landed on the field opposite the racecourse slight down from the iron bridge and shortly after I heard a lot of police cars, ambulances and fire engines and then saw them all go by and a few park at the entrance of the racecourse.
"I walked down to see what was going on and one of the female officers said someone had jumped from the bridge but gave no reason as to why."

The other side of the change a challenge, too
As Bruce Boudreau attempts to start over in Anaheim, his wife Crystal and 13-year-old son Brady are back in Washington. He hasn't seen them since he left for his new job on the West Coast two weeks ago.
"That's a difference and a little bit of a struggle," Boudreau told NHL.com. "But my wife has been great. She's been the rock."
Boudreau said his family is coming to visit him next week, but he's been worrying about uprooting Brady, who is in eighth grade.
He said Brady has made the move easier on him.
"He was really supportive, as well. He took (the move) better than I did," Boudreau said. "Quite frankly, before I went to the Caps the Ducks were always his favorite team just because of the age he is. He must have watched the 'Mighty Ducks' movies 150 times. There was always that connection with him, so he was pretty pumped it happened so quick.
"I was worried about his reaction, and he was stronger than I was."
Boudreau's ties to Washington remain strong not only because his family and friends still are there, but part of his heart is, as well. He spent four years behind the Capitals' bench, helping the club create an identity through success that brought so many hockey fans in the Beltway out of hiding.
"It was the best four years of my life and a week or two later you don't just walk away from that," Boudreau said. "I get calls every single day from people in the D.C. area, so it's hard to let that all of a sudden slip away and not think about it."
He still follows the Capitals because, "there are an awful lot of players there that I have real affection for and sort of watched grow up." However, Ducks fans need not worry because Boudreau said he's looking forward to duplicating his experience in Southern California.
"I am all for the Ducks," he said. "Hopefully this is just another adventure in my life. And if it can bring anywhere near the same memories that I have had in the last four years, I'd be grateful."
-- Dan Rosen
"Settling in," he told NHL.com during a 15-minute phone interview Tuesday.
Boudreau figures he will be doing exactly that for a while as he adjusts to life on an unfamiliar coast, in a different conference, away from his family and the comfort zone he called home for four years as the successful coach of the Washington Capitals.
Wednesday's game against Phoenix at Honda Center will be Boudreau's sixth behind the Ducks' bench. He's won only one of his first five (1-3-1), a record that's making his transition from the Capitals to the Ducks even more challenging than it was going to be for a coach coming to a last-place team less than three days after he lost what was, for all intents and purposes, his dream job.
"I would have loved to come in here and won the first five games, and quite frankly a bounce here and a bounce there, we should have won four out of five minimum," said Boudreau, who won 202 games and four Southeast Division titles as the coach in Washington. "But the work ethic is there and the belief that we're going to win games is there."
Boudreau called his introduction to Anaheim "pretty much a roller-coaster ride" that began one day after he was fired by the Capitals on Nov. 28.
The next day, he started talking to Ducks GM Bob Murray. He boarded a flight to Anaheim late on the morning of Nov. 30 and said he had an idea that he would be taking over as coach, but Randy Carlyle had not yet been fired and Boudreau still hadn't seen a contract.
Carlyle was fired later that night and the Ducks announced that Boudreau had signed on as his replacement in a press release that was sent out at 10:21 p.m. PT, exactly 65 hours and 25 minutes after the Capitals issued a press release that Dale Hunter was taking over for Boudreau.
The Ducks played five games in Boudreau's first 10 days, including the last two in St. Louis and Nashville. It wasn't until early this week that Anaheim had consecutive days of practices under Boudreau, who still is trying to get to know the team and meet all the players on an individual basis.
The only two Ducks players Boudreau already knew or previously coached before arriving in Anaheim were Andrew Gordon (Washington) and George Parros (Manchester of the AHL).
"A lot of them, I don't know their backgrounds or anything of that nature, so I find it important to know who you're dealing with," Boudreau said. "Bob Murray has given me tremendous support. That's what has been really good about it -- he's been very supportive and helping me along. The transition is coming along better than expected considering I didn't really know what to expect."
Boudreau said his biggest challenge has been introducing his style, philosophy and tactics to the players. It's far different from when he took over in Washington four years ago because he was brought in from the Capitals' minor-league team in Hershey, where he coached, among others, Brooks Laich, Mike Green and Jeff Schultz.
"I could say to Brooks Laich, 'We're doing the neutral-zone drill here, remember how we used to do it.' Now I have nobody to say that to," Boudreau said. "We're going from scratch with everybody. It's easier when players know what you're doing. It's the same thing with the power play. In Washington it was mostly left-handed guys and we worked from the left side with Nicklas Backstrom. Here we work it from the right side.
"It's challenging, but that's what makes it exciting."
Boudreau is trying to get that excitement to spread throughout the team by consistently hammering home the message that they are way better than their 8-16-5 record indicates. He's been showing videos and doing a lot of teaching, but the getting it all to show through in game situations has not been easy because, as veteran Teemu Selanne said, the Ducks are suffering from a crisis of confidence.
So how is the new coach doing?Dan Rosen - NHL.com Senior Writer
Five teams have changed coaches this season, and it's not even Christmas yet. READ MORE ›
Boudreau turned around Washington almost immediately. The Capitals were a last-place team when he got there in November 2007, but they won 37 of their final 61 games to clinch the first of four straight division titles.
He sees similarities in Anaheim, mainly in the star power of the personnel.
"I think Cam Fowler is a young Mike Green," Boudreau said. "You have your big group of Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry, Bobby Ryan and Teemu Selanne, just like you have Alex Ovechkin, Alex Semin, Nicklas Backstrom and Brooks Laich. The core group is sort of similar in stature."
Boudreau always felt he got along well with the star players in Washington and anticipates the same happening in Anaheim.
His entire coast-to-coast transition will be made a heck of a lot easier if the Ducks start winning soon.
"I know what we need to do and it's easier said than done, but right now we need a 10-game winning streak or to win 15 out of 20," Boudreau said. "If we do that, we're back in the hunt. It's not easy to do in this division and with the amount of road games we play in a row, but we're getting (Lubomir) Visnovsky back and then (Saku) Koivu and Jason Blake -- then the team all of a sudden has balance.
"I've seen 'Moneyball,' so I know even the A's were a last-place team that won 20 in a row. It can happen."

On Saturday morning, Melody, a 3-year-old Doberman pinscher, was excited to see the other dogs in the Memorial Building at the Delaware County Fairgrounds.
A very social dog by her owner's admission, Melody was in her element, moving her head from left to right watching where her four-legged peers were going, waiting for owners to stop and pet her as they moved throughout the facility.
On any other Saturday, Melody's actions would be perfect. But during at the Muncie Obedience Training Club's dog show, the Doberman's gregarious nature was a detriment that could hurt her instead of help her. ...

Print this spring-inspired photo prop for all your Mother's Day photo opportunities. Have the kids color it nice for mommy, or color it yourself - what fun! This easy Mother's Day craft will add a bit of whimsy to your memory book.
- Pattern - 8.5" x 11" entire heart
- Pattern - enlarged left side heart
- Pattern - enlarged right side heart
- Crayons, Colored Pencils or Paint
- First print out the black and white image and then get out your crayons, colored pencils or paint and have fun coloring it!
- Then cut out the heart, lay it on a piece of cardboard, trace around it and cut the heart shape out of the cardboard. There is an option to print each half of the heart separately so that you can enlarge it more easily. If you did this, run tape along the back of the heart in the middle to attach the two sides before you trace it.
- Then put adhesive on the cardboard. I like using double sided tape or photo squares.
- and Voila! you have a lovely photo prop to use to tell Mom how much you adore her! You can take polaroids and tape or glue them onto card-stock to make a photo card for Mom. Or you can take digital photos and upload them to sites like CafePress or Shutterfly where you can make cards, bags, books, pretty much anything you can think of to stick your message of love for Mom on!

Google already has a patent that would let Glass and other eyewear identify what's in front of you. However, it just received a new patent for a method that could follow your exact gaze. The proposed system would include both forward-facing and eye-tracking cameras, correlating both to determine what's grabbing your attention. It could gauge emotional responses to objects by watching for pupil dilation, and it could be used to charge advertisers based on how long wearers stare at a given ad. Google may also have an eyepiece upgrade to go along with its gaze detection, we'd note -- the company just received a patent for a quantum dot-based eye display. There's no evidence that Google will use either of these new inventions anytime soon, but we wouldn't be surprised if they represent what Glass could look like a few generations from now.

|Staffing matters-every shift: data from the Military Nursing Outcomes Database can be used to demonstrate that the right number and mix of nurses prevent errors.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23154676 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Data from the Military Nursing Outcomes Database (MilNOD) project demonstrate that inadequately staffed shifts can increase the likelihood of adverse events, such as falls with injury, medication errors, and needlestick injuries to nurses. Such evidence can be used to show that it takes not only the right number of nursing staff on every shift to ensure safe patient care, but also the right mix of expertise and experience. Based on findings from the MilNOD project, the authors present realistic scenarios of common dilemmas hospitals face in nurse staffing, illustrating the potential hazards for patients and nurses alike.

General Motors headquarters in downtown Detroit. GM announced another big recall May 20, bringing the 2014 total so far to 27 U.S. recalls of 18.7 million vehicles.

The rapid pace of General Motors recalls is intentional, as the company delves into its records to find and purge lurking safety issues.
But it's unsettling, leaving an impression GM produces unsafe vehicles and, in some cases, makes dumb mistakes. It recalled 8,208 of its 2014 cars on May 7, for example, because they might have rear brakes on the front wheels.
On Tuesday, GM issued four more recalls totaling 2.42 million vehicles in the U.S. And GM says it has informed regulators about two more recalls imminent but not yet announced. The latest batch includes safety belt, air bag, ...
