The Best Air Show in the Country!
Favorite thing: Attend the EAA (Experimental Aviation Association) AirVenture show in Oshkosh. This is a top-notch, annual, week-long air show which must be the best in the country, if not the world! It is a showcase of what's going on in general aviation, and is enjoyable by all members of the family. All types of planes are represented; military, warbirds, antiques, home-builts, ultralights, seaplanes, etc. There are daily air shows, lectures, displays, merchandisers, a permanent museum, etc. You can buy practically anything related to aviation, from a T-shirt to a Lear jet! I understand last year's event had over 750,000 visitors and over 10,000 planes attend. AirVenture takes place annually around the end of July/beginning of August. Check out their website - www.eaa.org. Make plans to attend, you won't be disappointed!

Go to Country USA if you like...
Favorite thing: Go to Country USA if you like Country music! Go to Lifest you you like Christian music! Go to the EAA if you like airplane stuff! Go to the Great Outdoors Ducks Unlimited thing if you like hunting, fishing, or just want to learn something about either of them!
Fondest memory: My best memory was from Lifest. I was going to go camping in Wild Rose but all the campsites were taken up at our camp (we were too stupid to call for one in advance! lol). I wanted to go to Lifest SOOO bad this year, and said that I'd rather go camping than go to it. Well, I was basically crying on our way back to our house and my mom and aunt felt bad and sent me off to Lifest for a day. I got to see the Plus One concert and get my t-shirt signed by them after it!!! YAY!

The reason I ask is because my line got very very dark, as usual, but I didn't get the amount of ovulation pain that I normally feel along with the surge. Just some random cramping on both sides. Does this mean I didn't ovulate?
Does an OPK that shows LH surge (darker than the control line) guarantee ovulation?

+OPK just means your body is gearing up to O, does not guarantee an egg will be released. That's why so many girls on here chart their bbt, to confirm O.

No but your cramping on both sides could mean your follicles on either side could be growing getting ready to release. Gl!

god, i love impressionist artwork... the depth and the texture used here are very well done
This is stunning. Is it really that smooth or did the photograph change it a bit? I mean it looks like you've lowered the contrast on the photograph, or is the low contrast painted?
This way or the other, it's lovely.
This way or the other, it's lovely.

QUITMAN (July 3, 2013)--Texas game wardens Wednesday identified the two people killed when two boats collided on Lake Fork in East Texas as Justin Douglas Wilcox, 34, of Oglesby and Walter Edward Serbon, Jr., 69, of Yantis.
Maj. Game Warden David Murray with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department said Wednesday that a 12-year-old boy who was severely injured in the crash remains hospitalized at Children's Medical Center of Dallas, but he did not have details on the boy's condition.
Murray says there is no information yet on the cause of the accident, which happened at around 8:45 p.m. Monday on the lake near Quitman, about 70 miles east of Dallas.
Wilcox and Serbon were driving the boats, one of which sank.
The investigation is continuing.

There is a heated debate in the ranks of President Bush's most ardent supporters about whether they should go public with their concerns and risk hurting his reelection chances. One of those debates is taking place within the conservative Heritage Foundation, whose president, Ed Feulner, has written two recent newspaper columns criticizing out-of-control spending. He is supported by the latest figures from the Congressional Budget Office which show that the fast economic growth and low inflation are not enough to eliminate the federal deficit, which is projected to hit a record $477 billion this fiscal year, but might have vanished had Republicans not engaged in an orgy of spending.
One Heritage executive e-mailed me, "As a mom who is trying to teach my children about conservative values, the vision of our Founding Fathers and how faith in God - not the government - is our answer, how do I explain that federal spending has increased more under George Bush than it did under Bill Clinton? How do I tell them how important it is that we work to get Bush (re)elected and then explain that they will be (saddled) for the rest of their lives paying for huge government programs, such as Medicare reform, that he championed?"
These good questions and criticisms are significant because they come from conservative friends of the president. As Pence said in his CPAC speech, to ask such questions "is not a sign of disloyalty, but of true loyalty to principle."
Are they listening at the White House? Perhaps they think they can dismiss conservatives with the familiar, "Where else can conservatives go?" They can "go" into inaction or they can stay home and not vote. It has happened before.
Ask President Bush No. 41, who raised taxes after promising he wouldn't. He later said it was a major mistake, but too late to win him reelection. In a close election people of principle can mean the difference between victory and defeat.

- //Matthew Sweet
Since he is a consistently interesting songwriter, the varying successes of Matthew Sweet's solo albums are partially dependent on the contributions of collaborators. His 5th album—100% Fun—featured the finest set of collaborators thus far. It combined guitar solos by Richard Lloyd (late of Television—a band you should be listening to) and Robert Quine, both longtime collaborators, with Brendan O'Brien's production which focuses Sweet's pop-meets-Crazy Horse sound more precisely than any other producer. On the previous, and 6th release, Blue Sky on Mars, Sweet performed his own guitar solos and O'Brien once again produced. Sweet's latest and 7th album, In Reverse, features neither Lloyd/Quine nor O'Brien and is most successful when it avoids comparison with this previous work.
The majority of the album features Sweet's familiar themes (love is wonderful, you hurt me and I'm down and I hate you) tackled in four minutes with straightforward four piece rock band production. "Beware My Love" and "Hide" are nice enough songs, Greg Leisz and Pete Phillips provide tasteful solos, and the recurring use of backwards sounds (befitting the title and upside-down packaging) is entertaining. Yet one senses the absence of the previous collaborators.
Matthew Sweet
In Reverse
With several tracks on the album however, three of which not by accident are the finest on the album, Sweet goes for grandeur. The regretful "If Time Permits" is second track on the album, while the equally mournful "Worse to Live" has a sweep which in the old days would serve as the closer for a cassette or LP side. On a cd it is a foretaste of the epic "Thunderstorm" (with the conventional "Untitled" serving as a filler).
"Thunderstorm," "If Time Permits" and "Worse to Live," feature at least 15 performers, some playing multiple instruments, for what amounts to a Phil Spector-like "Wall of Sound." "Thunderstorm" in particular suits this production perfectly. This 10 minute track is the combination of four shorter songs Sweet was writing independent of one another. The four parts blend together and the song loops back around for a brief reprise of the first tune. A room full of musicians seems particularly appropriate for a song of this scope.
Not that every future Matthew Sweet song should have three bass guitar parts, but the tracks that do, especially "Thunderstorm"—his most adventurous solo song—make In Reverse worth hearing.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for National Conservatory Of Dramatic Arts, Washington, DC, USA
Without a doubt the best decision I made for my career. Before the Conservatory I thought I was an actor, however after 16 months of entensitive Dramatic Training & 8 more months of Repertory Style Theatre experince I can truly say I owe successes to the Faculty & Staff of the National Conservatory of Dramatic Arts.
More Feedback
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
the epitamy of Staffs & Volunteers
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
afford to pay the great professor that they have a reasonable wage, finance a new facilty & become the leading Dramatic Arts schoolm in the North East
Ways to make it better...
Everyone of my classmate took the experience as seriously as i did.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
One thing I'd also say is that...
Make sure that money goes to the right places.

Kids ingesting magnets 'common and lethal'
Study this: The dangers of super powered magnets, why having clogged arteries is an ancient problem, and how playing video games may help seniors.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Ingestion of high-powered magnets by children can be deadly because it can cause bowel perforations, according to a study by Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children.
"Modern magnet technology has transformed what was once an esoteric subtype of foreign-body ingestion into a common and lethal threat," states lead author Dr. Daniel Rosenfield from the pediatrics department.
In the latest Canadian Medical Association Journal, Rosenfield presents a case study involving a 3-year-old boy who had swallowed three small, round super magnets, causing a bowel perforation that required surgery.
"Gastrointestinal perforation from the ingestion of multiple magnets is becoming a more prevalent and life-threatening problem," warns the piece.
Clogged arteries ancient problem
Even ancient hunter-gatherers had clogged arteries, and the finger can't be pointed at lack of exercise or too much fast food, new research in the journal The Lancet shows.
CT scans were performed at 137 mummies from four continents by researchers from California.
They found artery plaque in all populations studied, including preagricultural hunter-gatherers in the Aleutian Islands and the ancient Puebloans of the southwestern United States.
"While modern lifestyles can accelerate the development of plaque in our arteries, the prevalence of the disease across human history shows it may have a more basic connection to inflammation and aging," the authors conclude.
"This is not a disease only of modern circumstance but a basic feature of human aging in all populations," said Caleb Finch, a senior author of the study.
Seniors who play video games happier and healthier
A study in the journal Computers in Human Behavior indicates that elderly "gamers" appear to be emotionally better off.
Researchers from North Carolina State University asked 140 people age 63 and older how often they play video games, if at all. Participants then took a battery of tests to assess emotional and physical well-being.
They found that those who played video games, even just occasionally, reported a higher level of well-being. Those who did not play video games reported more negative emotions and a tendency toward higher levels of depression.

This isn't the best dating site, but you can make some close connections that could become dating.

I recommend going through stories and questions and finding some by people who compel you, commenting on them, and starting conversations and relationships that way. That's how I've made my friends here.
Best Answer
I'm a gay guy

Stanley Airport Celebrates 25th Birthday
Penguin News, May 2004
The museum is hosting a special display to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Stanley's small but busy airport.
For many years the only method of travelling outside the Falklands was by sea. This option was withdrawn in 1971, and lead to a formal communications agreement between the British and Argentine governments to operate an airlink between Stanley and Comodoro Rivadavia. Initially the Grumman HU-16B Albatross amphibious aircraft provided a service on a weekly basis. This ungainly monster would sometimes use Rocket Assisted Take-Off (RATO) packs to help it into the air. The same political agreement also allowed the Argentines to build and operate a temporary airport at Hookers Point. Built from aluminium planking the runway came into service in November 1972. The Fokker F27 Friendships were introduced and operated from the runway until 1978 when high winds tore up large sections of the aluminium planking leaving the runway unusable.
In the meantime UK company Johnson Construction had been awarded a contract to build Stanley Airport and the Airport Road, with the first drainage works beginning in 1974. Many Islanders were involved with the building as subcontractors and these years proved to be quite a boon for the local workers earning the higher wages offered by the company. Additionally many of the workers learned operating and engineering skills that would be beneficial for future projects. When completed, the runway was 4,000 feet long and 150 feet wide.
Stanley Airport was officially opened on Tuesday 1 May 1979 by Sir Vivian Fuchs. The first official landing recorded was by Jim Kerr piloting Bill Luxton's Cessna 172 with Stephen Luxton and the late Terry Reive as passengers. However, some months before, local pilot Robin Pitaluga heard that an Argentine F27 was to make a trial landing on the new runway and promptly pre-empted the possibility with a landing in his own light aircraft, making a Falklands registered aircraft the first to touch down at the new airport.
On the evening of 1 April 1982, it became known that an Argentine invasion force was approaching the Falklands. The runway was barricaded with heavy machinery and vehicles in an attempt to stop aircraft landing. Under Argentine occupation the airport suffered extensive damage as did FIGAS aircraft and private aircraft owned by Robin Pitaluga, Bill Luxton and Rex Hunt.
From June 1982 to May 1986 the Royal Air Force operated from the airport which became known as RAF Stanley. RAF Stanley ceased to exist on 30 April 1986 when the military moved to the purpose built RAF Mount Pleasant. Temporary aluminium planking was removed to reveal the original 4,000 foot runway and by April 1987 Stanley Airport was nearly back to its pre-war state.
For several years in the early 1990s the Chilean airline Aerovias DAP flew a fortnightly service between Stanley and Punta Arenas using Twin Otter and King Air aircraft. These flights were replaced with the Lan Chile service flying into Mount Pleasant.

Lansing students win poster contest
April 28, 2005
Lansing students took home more than half of the top awards presented recently in the Leavenworth County Conservation District's poster contest, winning 11 out of 20 awards.
The contest solicited posters on the theme of "Celebrate Conservation" from second- through sixth-graders throughout Leavenworth County. In Lansing, only second through fifth grade participated. A total of 557 entries were submitted.
The contest awarded the top four entries in each grade level. Winners received a ribbon and a "Celebrate conservation" T-shirt for their efforts. Two overall winners were also chosen, Lansing fourth-grader Megan Maldonado in the fourth- through sixth-grade category and Lansing second grader Wade Watts in the second- and third-grade category. The overall winners each received a medal, and their posters will be sent to the state poster contest in Wichita in November.
Lansing second-grade winners were Watts, first place; Analiese Heitkamp, second place; and Jessica Yawn, third place. Lansing swept the awards in third grade with winners Lindsay Potter-Davis, first place; Jessica Dion, second place; Joe Schneider, third place; and Michael James, honorable mention. In fourth grade, Lansing winners were Maldonado, first place; Bailey Reynolds, second place; and Nathan Hawley, third place. Lansing Intermediate School fifth-grader Mariah Lietzen placed third in her category.

The incidence of experimental smoking in school children: an 8-year follow-up of the child and adolescent behaviors in long-term evolution (CABLE) study

4 Institute of Health Policy and Management, College of Public Health, National Taiwan University. Rm. 623, No. 17, Xu-Zhou Road, Taipei 100, Taiwan, ROC
BMC Public Health 2011, 11:844 doi:10.1186/1471-2458-11-844Published: 3 November 2011
Studies have established that most regular adult smokers become addicted in their adolescent years. We investigated the incidence of and risk factors associated with initial experimental smoking among a group of school children who were followed for 8 years.
We used cohort data collected as part of the Child and Adolescent Behaviors in Long-term Evolution (CABLE) study, which selected nine elementary schools each from an urban area (Taipei City) and a rural area (Hsingchu county) in northern Taiwan. From 2002 to 2008, children were asked annually whether they had smoked in the previous year. An accelerated lifetime model with Weibull distribution was used to examine the factors associated with experimental smoking.
In 2001, 2686 4th-graders participated in the study. For each year from 2002 to 2008, their incidences of trial smoking were 3.1%, 4.0%, 2.8%, 6.0%, 5.3%, 5.0% and 6.0%, respectively. There was an increase from 7th to 8th grade (6.0%). Children who were males, lived in rural areas, came from single-parent families, had parents who smoked, and had peers who smoked were more likely to try smoking earlier. The influence of parents and peers on experimental smoking demonstrated gradient effects.
This study used a cohort to examine incidence and multiple influences, including individual factors, familial factors, and community factors, on experimental smoking in adolescents. The findings fit the social ecological model, highlighting the influences of family and friends. School and community attachment were associated with experimental smoking in teenagers.

By interfering with the patient's immune response, methylprednisolone can prevent vaccines from being effective. Methylprednisolone also can interfere with the TB skin test and cause falsely negative results in patients with dormant TB infections.
Methylprednisolone impairs calcium absorption and new bone formation. Patients on prolonged treatment with methylprednisolone and other corticosteroids can develop osteoporosis and an increased risk of bone fractures. Supplemental calcium and vitamin D are encouraged to slow this process of bone thinning. In rare individuals, destruction of large joints can occur while undergoing treatment with methylprednisolone or other corticosteroids (aseptic necrosis). These patients experience severe pain in the joints involved, and can require joint replacement. The reason behind such destruction is not clear. Methylprednisolone can be used in pregnancy, but is generally avoided.
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
GENERIC AVAILABLE: Yes
PREPARATIONS: Tablets: 4, 8, 16, 24, and 32 mg. Injectable suspension: 20, 40, and 80 mg/ml. Powder for Injection: 40, 125, 500, 1000, and 2000 mg.
STORAGE: Methylprednisolone preparations should be kept at room temperature, from 20 C to 25 C (68 F to 77 F).
DOSING: Dosage requirements of corticosteroids vary among individuals and the diseases being treated. In general, the lowest effective dose is used. The oral dose range is 2-60 mg daily depending on the disease. Depo-medrol doses are 10-80 mg injected into muscle every 1-2 weeks, and Solu-medrol doses are 10-250 mg intravenous or intramuscular injections up to 6 times daily. The initial dose should be adjusted based on response. Corticosteroids given in multiple doses throughout the day are more effective but also more toxic than the same total daily dose given once daily, or every other day.
Oral methylprednisolone should be taken with food.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Troleandomycin (TAO), an infrequently used macrolide antibiotic, reduces the liver's ability to metabolize methylprednisolone (and possibly other corticosteroids). This interaction can result in higher blood levels of methylprednisolone and a higher probability of side effects. Erythromycin and clarithromycin (Biaxin) are likely to share this interaction, and ketoconazole (Nizoral) also inhibits the metabolism of methylprednisolone. Estrogens, including birth control pills, can increase the effect of corticosteroids by 50% by mechanisms that are not completely understood. For all of the above interactions, the dose of methylprednisolone may need to be lowered. Cyclosporine reduces the metabolism of methylprednisolone while methylprednisolone reduces the metabolism of cyclosporine. When given together, the dose of both drugs may need to be reduced to avoid increased side effects. Methylprednisolone may increase or decrease the effect of blood thinners, for example, warfarin (Coumadin). Blood clotting should be monitored and therapy adjusted in order to achieve the desired level of blood thinning (anti-coagulation).

No body beats Andre Ward. "NOBODY"Posted February 20, 2013 8:28 pm
none of the guys mentioned are ward he beats this degail easy easy but hell let degale mke some money and get beat up thas why they fight .Posted February 20, 2013 4:38 pm
Anon / Mick – agree with the Lonsdale comments you both made, theres no denying that.Posted February 20, 2013 2:19 pm
Degale has become under rated. I reckon he could beat Abraham everyday of the week. I also think he can beat Froch given his awkward style. Degale needs a new trainer such Virgil hunter, roach or even ingle gym (ingle would should him how to be even more awkward). Degale will not beat Ward but i back degale to beat any other super middleweight however Dirrell would give him a tough night. 1.Ward 2.Direll 3.Degale 4.Froch 5.Groves 6.Kessler This is what i believe. i do understand that degale has proven he is above froch however, i do think he is!Posted February 19, 2013 5:38 pm
NBK- you are correct in pulling me up for the boring clones comment also good point about Khan,but still cannot agree Groves deserve the win.Groves lost good guy image when he started throwing belts away and faining injury to get out of the Anderson rematch.Posted February 19, 2013 5:12 pm
Mick the Marmalizer
NBK: Agreed 100% Degales gobs gonna win him no fans what so ever. Having said that Groves dropping the Lonsdale belt in a trash can has sent him down a peg or 2 in my estimations. I still think Degale/Anderson could sell well!Posted February 19, 2013 3:16 pm
DeGale is a fine fighter with a great amateur background, but is virtually unknown in the U.S. Ward, at this point, is looking for the big fights and paydays. This fight makes sense only in Britain and it is doubtful that there is money enough in it to bring Ward over.Posted February 19, 2013 2:52 pm
Anonymous – The subject of Groves/Degale is a touchy one at best, but no way was Degale robbed. Degale had already lost the fight before getting in the ring. Hes similiar to Khan in that he loses 100 followers everytime he opens his mouth.. The decision was close, no-one was robbed, Groves deserved to win . And you cant call Groves and Price boring clones in the same sentence you're saying lets get behind the fighters!?Posted February 19, 2013 1:59 pm
Mick the Marmalizer
All said & done Andre Ward must be the most lack luster World champion in Boxing & really has to face the winner of Froch/Kessler or James DeGale in Europe if he's to ever gain any credence!Posted February 19, 2013 11:47 am
Anonymous – i here you….. but he only faced Groves due to groves being mandatory for the British title… Price was mandatory but Tyson Fluffy run-away so i can knock Price to much (lets see what he does this year) Elam Thud was a tit before he signed for F Warren. But credit where it is due for him regarding the Euro belt… and that is the normal route Mick Hennessey likes to take his fighters, British, Euro & then the world.Posted February 19, 2013 10:46 am
Let give DeGale a break,he made a he made a fool of his self against Groves in the build up to the fight and ended up getting robbed on the cards for it. Lets not forget he won GB a gold medal,the reason his carrier has stalled is fish face Frank warren,DeGale is not a boring clone like Groves and Price etc… fighting no body's to boost crap cards for greedy promoters.lets get behind the fightersPosted February 19, 2013 7:33 am
Personally I DO NOT LIKE DEGALE…. but the author has made the statement that if Elma Thud (Degale) meets Ward he'll make a name for himself…. news flash he's already done that!! as for going for Ward… another assertion by author as Fat Mick like his fighters to challenge for the WBC straps as can easily be demonstrated by how he guided Froch from British, European and then on to the WBC strap.Posted February 19, 2013 6:17 am

Literature: Where the Wild Things Are
"Let the wild rumpus start!"Where the Wild Things Are is a children's book by late Maurice Sendak. It was originally panned by critics, but has since become a beloved classic.In the book, Max is an angry little boy in a wolf costume who can't control his emotions and is sent to his room. There he is (depending on your interpretation) transported to/imagines a world populated by semi-feral monsters and is crowned their king because of his wild emotions. At first happy, he eventually grows tired of acting like a wild animal and goes back home.There are two film adaptations, the more recent one directed by Spike Jonze of Being John Malkovich fame with a soundtrack by Karen O.In the Spike Jonze film, Max is an angry little boy in a wolf costume who is very intelligent and resents that his sister feels too old to spend time with him and that his mother's life is too busy to give him the attention he desires. This causes a conflict that ends with him running away to an island populated by semi-feral monsters who crown him king out of a need for someone to take care of them and their emotional needs. Unlike in the book, the monsters all have their individual characteristics and personalities that are usually in some way a reflection of portions of Max's personality. Although Max tries his best, eventually he realizes he loves the monsters but cannot be the leader or parent they need and returns home to his mother with a better appreciation of what she goes through. Most of the following tropes will deal with the film version (see Adaptation Expansion).
Provides Examples Of:
- A Boy and His X: A Boy and His Tribe of Monsters.
- Mix-and-Match Critters: All of the monsters.
- Scenery Porn: Both the original's illustrations and the film have this a lot.
- Shout-Out: Not an example within the book/movie itself, but it was given multiple shout outs in Alt-J's song Breezeblocks (to the point where the entire bridge goes "please don't go, I'll eat you whole, I love you so.")
Specific to the book:
- No Name Given: All of the monsters. Sendak had names that never appeared in the book for some of them — Tzippy, Aaron, Moishe, Bruno, Emile, Bernard — but never gave a name to the goat in the books or art (he's just referred to as Goat Boy).
Specific to the film:
- Adaptation Distillation: Three of the monsters from the book (counting the sea monster) do not appear in the movie. The seven they use are quite enough.
- Adaptation Expansion: Pretty much required, as the original book was only ten sentences long.
- Benevolent Monsters: The titular Wild Things. While they frolic quite fiercely, they're not in other ways malicious.
- Berserk Button:
- Mention any idea you have to Carol that could imply breaking up the clan of monsters, and may God have mercy on your soul!
- He also reacts badly on being lied to.
- Really, it's easier to list what doesn't send Carol into a rage.
- Big Brother Bully: Carol towards the rest of the Wild Things. It becomes clear towards the end of the film that he's exactly the kind of person Max will become if he doesn't try to fix his problems; a self-centered, bitter Mood-Swinger who's bursts of violence and abuse bring harm to his family.
- Blatant Lies: Max's claims of being a king. Unsurprisingly it turns out that pretty much all of the monsters had him figured out from the get go.
- Blue and Orange Morality: In wild thing society, allowing someone to eat you is considered a polite gesture.
- Butt Monkey: Alexander, the one whom no one cares about.
- The Chew Toy: Douglas, who is okay with being thrown around (literally). It's hilarious. His arm getting ripped off? Not so much.
- Easily Forgiven: Carol. For damn near everything, including pulling Douglas's arm off.
- Empathic Environment: In one of the many sad moments in the film, snow begins to fall slowly.
- Getting Crap Past the Radar: Ira is obviously trying to neck Judith in one scene.
- Intelligible Unintelligible: Bob and Terry. To Max and Carol, they are simply The Unintelligible.
- Ironic Echo: In the beginning of the movie, Max runs away from home after his mom says he was out of control after he bit her. By the end, Max says that Carol is out of control after Carol ripped off Douglas' arm. Max then runs away, and the same music plays as did in the earlier scene.
- Jitter Cam: The movie is more or less shot by someone really hopped up on Red Bull.
- Logo Joke: Each of the logos are static, and have apparently been drawn on by Max. The WB logo has a "wild thing" sort of shape drawn around it, with Max scribbling over the Time Warner byline and replacing it with his name. The Legendary Pictures logo has Max drawing a monster eating it. The Village Roadshow logo has Max turning the logo into his own name, with the "V" becoming an upside down "A", and a crude sword along the bottom of the logo.
- Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: It's left ambiguous over whether the wild things are real or in Max's imagination.
- Mr. Vice Guy: Max, and ALL of the Wild Things with the vice being raging emotions.
- Mythology Gag: Perhaps not intentional, but Alexander's character was the only one who didn't get a nickname from the writer. In the movie, he's ignored by everyone to the point where he might as well not exist.
- Never Trust a Trailer: The trailer for the 2009 film pretty much shows Max having fun/goofy adventures with the titular Wild Things. The actual film, however, is pretty depressing.
- No Name Given: The bison/bull in the movie. Bernard, per the credits and one brief line.
- Only Sane Man: The Monsters' voice of reason is Alexander. Too bad nobody ever listens to him.
- Pop-Star Composer: Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs wrote the score for the film.
- The Quiet One: Bernard never speaks until before Max leaves.
- Reality Ensues: The ending makes it clear that pretty much all of the Wild Things aside from Carol, Judith, and Ira figured out Max was lying about being a king. And those three were simply in denial. Douglas and Alexander admit that they both knew he was lying from the start and only went along with it because they saw how happy it made Carol.
- Sadist Teacher: Max's class on astronomy drifts off into a discussion on how everything is going to die, and a list of all the ways all of humanity could be wiped out, delivered cheerfully obliviously to a class of 9-year-olds.
- Shout-Out:
- Max's mom also has a phone conversation with a "Mr. Lasseter". Back in the 80s John Lasseter attempted to make a WTWTA movie with Disney. It would have been one of the earliest examples of CGI in film, featuring traditionally animated characters in 3D CGI environments.
- There's a scene where Max is being shown his "kingdom", which is a pretty obvious reference to The Lion King. Some of the dialogue is very similar to that scene, as well.
- Some Call Me Tim: The monsters are Carol, Ira, KW, Judith, Douglas, Alexander, and Bernard.
- Stepford Smiler: The Wild Things in general but especially Carol. KW flat out tells Max that life on the island gets difficult but the others are in denial over it.
- Swallowed Whole: When KW swallows Max so he can hide from Carol.
- Teens Are Monsters: Downplayed. Claire's friends don't wreck Max's snow fort out of malice but out of playing too hard for the smaller kid. They even look genuinely upset when they realize what they've done — but are much too self-conscious to apologize.
- Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: Both the female wild things have long hair.
- Those Two Guys: Bob and Terry, K.W.'s two owl friends.

Apple today announced retail availability of the iPad 3G -- which also features Wi-Fi, of course -- for Friday, April 30th at 5:00 pm. The Loop reports those who pre-ordered the 3G version of the iPad should start receiving shipments that day same day.
The iPad 3G includes a US$130 premium over the standard Wi-Fi-only iPad, but that provides the luxury of joining AT&T's data network on an at-will basis. Rather than being locked to a 2-year contract, iPad 3G can purchase a month of data at a time. Two plans are available: 250MB will run you $15 and the unlimited plan will set you back a cool $30.
While resident iMac-fiend Steve Sande didn't wait for the iPad 3G, I did and I'm excited to make another trek to the Apple Store next Friday. What about you, dear readers, anybody out there a little less green and a little more eager to go shopping?

I have just returned from three weeks in the Middle East (Egypt and Israel). Not one problem — no gun shots nor riots. Peaceful and quiet; unlike the banter over the Trinity Drive reconstruct I left in Los Alamos!
The Egyptians were especially happy to see us and treated us like kings and queens — well, at least like the elite. Loved the way they turn three-lane highways into seven lane ones with cars going every which way when the traffic load gets heavy. Looked like they were braiding hair. Made me think of a congested two-lane Trinity Drive.
Since I was gone, I did not attend the April 7 meeting on the Trinity Drive reconstruct. Here are a few comments I would have made.
The two lane Trinity Drive preferred option presented by the MIG consultants at the recent Transportation Board meeting should be ejected by our county councilors as being both unworkable in practice and way too expensive for even a town so well funded as Los Alamos.
Imagine the daily rush hour traffic if Trinity is narrowed down to only two lanes. According to the official traffic measurements, which were done for this study, there are routinely peak traffic rates of 1,500 vehicles/hr with some weekdays seeing 1,900 vehicles/hr during lunch hour.
Most of this traffic is westbound in the morning and eastbound in the afternoon rush hours while at lunch hour the traffic is pretty evenly divided between east and west.
Last fall, after a dismal tourist season for Red River, film crews arrived to make "This Must Be the Place." They filled hotels and restaurants and boosted gross receipts, which saved Red River, according to Rep. Bobby Gonzales.
Well, maybe it didn't save the town, but "it certainly helped," says a local business woman, who supports the industry and the incentives that keep movie makers here. "It was a big influx of cash."
Going into the legislative session, film incentives loomed as an issue, but the governor and the industry were both making conciliatory noises, so it was surprising to see incentives become a lightning rod. Instead of rational discussion, we got emotional bombast.
Like most Americans, I don't have any idea what the administration is doing in Libya. As a faithful liberal said recently, "Who knows what he's thinking about Qaddafi. I do know this: Barack Obama has launched more cruise missiles and ordered more air strikes than any Nobel Peace Prize winner in history."
It's more than fair to say that this administration's foreign policy is one big shambles, a giant pinball machine-like strategy with the United States caroming from one shiny bumper to another.
There are apparently no bumpers for Mexico. More than 7,000 miles away from Tripoli but mucho closer to you and your family, Mexico is in chaos.
On April 3, Google's main search page commemorated the 119th anniversary of the first documented ice cream sundae.
Every day commemorates something, but few things are as important as that famous misspelled confection.
However, I'd like to take some time discussing lesser known (and equally important) events.
If you're from New England, or know some fanatic from New England (but aren't they all?) then you probably know that April 18 (third Monday in April) is "Patriots' Day." Observed in Massachusetts and Maine, it commemorates the Battle of Lexington and Concord.
More than a generation ago, inventive people with an entrepreneurial spirit, guts, and creativity developed a new kind of medium called listener-sponsored radio.
It was supported initially by donations from listeners, who liked the eclectic programming. It was a labor of love and nobody got paid much.
Eventually someone figured out that this was a public service and government could help fund it.
Over time, it was transformed to the highly professional operation of today, with — surprise — executive salaries.
Hal Rhodes from NM News Services Editorial piece in the April 61 Los Alamos Monitor "English Only Please" was a disappointing example of the misunderstanding many have of the official English movement.
More than 90 percent (177) of the world's nations have enacted an official language. English is the most common official language on Earth.
The universal language of science, commerce and industry is English. Air traffic control the world over is conducted in English.
In order to facilitate unambiguous communication in engineering, protocols are adopted. Adopting English as our official language helps make our government more efficient and is effectively simply a protocol.
Are there alternatives to a government shutdown and the tidal wave of "budget cuts" proposed by Republican Rep. Paul Ryan and by President Obama's Budget Committee of last year?
Yes! Here are some revenue raising and budget cutting options:
•To better fund Social Security, Congress should remove the salary cap on FICA deductions that appear on payroll slips. FICA pays for Social Security.
For some insane reason, no employee who earns more than $106,800 a year has to pay FICA on any income above this amount. Millionaires and billionaires should pay FICA on all income received from any source, without a "cap".
The state's roughly 240 "active registered" mines, 83 percent of them producing aggregate and stone, employed 5,156 people in 2009, paid them $287 million, and produced minerals worth about $1.8 billion – good for a ranking of 20th nationally without counting oil and gas.
The big value numbers come from coal ($736 million in 2009), potash ($491 million), and copper ($290 million and hiring again).
Except for potash and salt mines around Carlsbad, the mines are located in the southwest quadrant and in a broad and mostly rural northern arc that starts at Raton, swings south to include Belen and Albuquerque, edges north and west to Grants and then goes to the Arizona.
The Preparticipation Physical Exam, or PPE, commonly known as a sports physical is performed over six million times in the U.S. annually and may be the only contact an adolescent or teen ever has with a physician.
In fact, adolescents represent the most underserved population in healthcare. Traditionally, parents have viewed the PPE as a yearly, comprehensive medical evaluation, whereas physicians have held that it is more of a cursory exam in which possible limitations to sports participation may be identified.

Have You Ever Had a Student Haircut or Color?
Want to save at least half on your next haircut or hair color? Just book an appointment with a student, and you'll pay about a quarter of the regular price.
And don't worry, you're in well-trained hands. "Students tend to be very critical of their work, providing nothing less than perfection because they are working for a grade," explains Barry Brian, the artistic director of Empire Beauty Schools. "Students are also supervised by a licensed educator, so the client will always be comfortable knowing that the student has the support and guidance, if needed." Have you ever participated in a training program?

The rain here this week has me bummed.
I'm wondering, as the weather warms up, what the best solution for commuting in the rain.
Today I wore light weight wool socks, Specialized MTB shoes and neopreme shoe covers. While this keeps the feet dry, it's going to be too hot once the summer really kicks in.
I know some people ride in sandals. What other options are there for shoes in the rain?

White, I think it represents purity and calm.I love white mobile phones.
Black ,many people may think it is a symbol of the dark.
But I think it makes people look more steady.So,I like black.
I think , in the book use a white background with black text that can make people calm.And also look more clealy.
Green , I think it represents spring is coming .It makes people feel the vitality.I like lying on the grassland ,close to nature feeling.
Yellow,looks energetic and active.It is the colour of wisdom.Ihave a pair of sports shoes, they look cool.
Pink,is my favourite colour in my childhood.It is a dreamful colour.It may be girls' favourite colour.
Colours can chane our moods.
My English is poor, Welcome all of you to point out my mistakes.Let me make progress. (≧^ω^≦)
Please enter between 0 and 2000 characters.
I love many colours: White, green, black, yellow, and pink.
White: I think it represents purity and calmness(or "tranquility" is a good word too!). I love white mobile phones.
Black: Many people may think it is a symbol of the dark but I think it makes people look more steady (what do you mean by "steady"?). So, I like black.
I think , in the a book that uses a white background with black text that can make people calm and also looks more clealy clear.
Green: I think it represents when spring is coming. It makes people feel the vitality(what are you trying to say here?). I like lying on the grassland and feeling close to nature feeling.
Yellow: It looks energetic and active. It is the colour of wisdom. I have a pair of sports shoes and they look cool.
Pink: This was my favourite colour in my childhood. It is a dreamful colour. It may be girls' favourite colour.
Colours can change our moods.
My English is poor so I welcome all of you to point out my mistakes. Let Help me make progress. (≧^ω^≦)
Good job! I really liked your descriptions of colours (also spelled "colors" in American English) and this was a very fun post to read. Colours can definately change our moods and make us feel better when we're feeling down. (When we're feeling sad.)
Please be careful with spaces in your sentence. Make sure to put one after each period, ok? (^.^)/
Also you used a few commas that you did not need so I took them away and I tried to make it sound more natural.
Keep up the good work!!!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lightwood is a suburb of Stoke-On-Trent, Staffordshire. It is located to the south of Longton, and Lightwood Road runs from here to Rough Close.
The area gives its name to The Lightwood Hoard, a substantial collection of Roman coins discovered buried in the garden of a house on Lightwood Road in 1960.[1]
Though containing mostly private housing, the area also boasts a pub and a golf driving range, as well as a Methodist chapel constructed in 1816 and now a Grade 2 listed building.[2]
