Hey everyone look, something that's not my typical post. Indeed this is based on a recently released short film that was created using nothing but free open source software, like Blender --->[link]
Is a very amazing short, especially for me who is studiying animation.

Great film, great fanart.
i love this short movie i got it in its highest resolution it looks crisper than a supernova on steroids!
Such a bittersweat ending.
i think the most tragic part was not when she realized she killed scales but when scales was bleeding and just the way he looked at her was extremely emotional. being killed by the person you loved most
I saw the video, it was so beautiful and sad at the same time, and the animation was awesome!
Great image by the way!

The City of Marquette is looking for more community input on the planned improvements to Lakeshore Boulevard.
They've developed an online survey giving residents a chance to share their thoughts. There are currently five potential plans for the area. The renovation proposals will cost anywhere from $1.8 million to over $12 million.
The improvements would include moving lakeshore further from the shore and restoring more beach and a roundabout at the intersection of Wright Street and Lakeshore.
Earlier in the year, the city held a public forum at Lakeview Arena that showed the possible plans.
"If we go back to our master plan, the community had already decided that it wanted to relocate Lakeshore Boulevard; so we incorporate that into this project where we look at what are some of the designs we can do to actually accomplish this," said Dennis Stachewicz of Marquette Comm. Development.
Hard copies of the survey are also available at city hall and the Peter White Public Library. The online survey will be available through August 8.

Would not surprise me with this horse. He is an extremely shy horse, and a little to gentle for these two. They like that hardheaded mustang types with quirky personalities. He reminds me more of an arab with this personality, he's not a hot horse though. I REALLY wish BF's Dad would let BF sell him, I'd take him if I had the $ but one horse is a good number for me.
BF is going to ride him probably tomorrow and see if he acts up and find out why if he can.
Here is a slightly better pic and you can kinda see the stall that has been "Chris proofed"

Pure Jasmine Tea
BevNET Review
Last Updated: 2/6/2006 2:32 PM
While Pure Jasmine Tea is definitely not for the Snapple drinkers of the world, it is definitely the most palatable of the Anteadote flavors. The jasmine tea has a very subtle and natural hint of sweetness to it which makes it an enjoyable brew. However, the design of the bottle and the plain feeling of this product make it something that will, like the other varieties, have limited appeal beyond consumers who already consume unsweetened tea. Still, the consumers that do try it will find a versatile product that tea can be enjoyed hot or cold. Improvements to the packaging and a dash of sweetener -- perhaps something natural like honey -- would broaden its appeal.

The Charge of the Goddess
Listen to the words of the Great Mother, who of old was called Artemis,
Astarte, Dione, Melusine, Aphrodite, Ceridwen, Diana, Arionrhod, Brigid,
and by many other names:
"Whenever you have need of anything, once in the month, and better it be when the moon is full, you shall assemble in some secret place and adore the spirit of Me who is Queen of all the Wise.
You shall be free from slavery, and as a sign that you be free you shall be naked in your rites. Sing, feast, dance, make music and love, all in My presence, for Mine is the ecstasy of the spirit, and Mine also is joy on earth. For My law is love unto all beings. Mine is the secret that opens the door of youth, and Mine is the cup of wine of life that is the Cauldron of Ceridwen that is the holy grail of immortality. I give the knowledge of the spirit eternal and beyond death I give peace and freedom and reunion with those that have gone before.
Nor do I demand aught of sacrifice, for behold, I am the mother of all things, and My love is poured upon the earth."
Hear the words of the Star Goddess, the dust whose feet are the host of heaven, whose body encircles the universe: "I who am the beauty of the green earth and the white moon among the stars and the mysteries of the waters, I call upon your soul to arise and come unto me. For I am the soul of nature that gives life to the universe. From Me all things proceed and unto Me they must return. Let My worship be in the heart that rejoices, for behold -- all acts of love and pleasure are My rituals. Let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honor and humility, mirth and reverence within you. And you who seek to know Me, know that your seeking and yearning will avail you not, unless you know the Mystery: for if that which you seek, you find not within yourself, you will never find it without. For behold, I have been with you from the beginning, and I am that which is attained at the end of desire."

Employment at Will versus Just Cause Dismissal: Applying the Due Process Model of Procedural Justice
Harcourt, Mark, Lam, Helen, Hannay, Maureen, Labor Law Journal
This paper critically examines the procedural justice characteristics of dismissal under the American employment-at-will (EAW) system and the New Zealand just-cause system, with regard to poor performance, misconduct, and redundancy (downsizing) situations, using a due process framework of three dimensions: adequate notice, fair hearing, and judgment based on evidence. Without any explicit proactive procedural protocol required for dismissals, EAW was found to offer limited protection to employees. Contrarily, employees in New Zealand have better protections in statute and common law, requiring employers to provide substantive justifications for dismissal and to follow procedures similar to due process. If employees are to be treated fairly and respectfully, changes to the EAW are needed, and the New Zealand system, despite some limitations identified, may be a good reference model.
Fairness, or justice, has long been seen as a sign of good organizational decision-making, because "it gives substance and meaning to human dignity", is generally considered the right thing to do, and has broad implications for cooperative, productive interactions between employees and employers.1 As Rawls once said: "justice is the first virtue of social institutions, as truth is of systems of thought."2 Employees have several reasons for wanting employers to treat them fairly in any human resource deci- sion. First, fairness often involves empowering employees to have some control over decision outcomes and so is desired for instrumental reasons.3 Second, fair treatment can indicate a person's organizational worth or value, and therefore affects self-esteem and group status.4 Third, and most importantly, fairness is seen as a virtue in itself.5 The employee's expectations of fairness are likely to be higher, the higher the potential impact of the employer's decisions on the employee. Dismissals, of all organizational decisions, are probably the most impactful on employees. Job termination generally threatens self-esteem6, while layoffs, in particular, have "pernicious effects, harming the victims while undermining the morale of survivors who re- main employed".7
Fairness, or justice, is of two types: procedural and distributive. Procedural justice focuses on the fairness of decision methods and proce- dures, whereas distributive justice focuses on the fairness of decision outcomes8 More specifi- cally, procedural justice refers to the "structural characteristics of a system": the rules used in decision-making, including how the decision authority is determined, how information is com- municated, and whether there is an opportunity for input or appeal.9
Research has found, for detrimental situations like dismissal, that perceptions of procedural injustice are generally a better predictor of em- ployee legal action (e.g., lawsuits, personal griev- ances) than perceptions of distributive injustice.10 The means matter more than the ends. Why? A just process is one that is not obviously biased, arbitrary, or capricious. It typically involves lis- tening to, and considering, both sides' arguments and evidence. As such, a just process is one that seemingly delivers rational and legitimate out- comes. In other words, even if the outcomes are disappointing for the employee, they make some sense. They are understandable if not desirable.11 If decisions are procedurally fair, unfavourable outcomes are more likely to be seen as tempo- rary and possibly changeable.12 For instance, the employee can try to improve his or her perfor- mance and thereby avoid future dismissal. He or she can behave more appropriately at work and avert being fired for drunkenness or fighting or stealing, as the case may be. In such situations, a just procedure gives employees confidence that they can try again and make things right. A just procedure better prepares employees to accept the consequences of their actions.13 A just pro- cedure helps maintain employees' confidence in management14 and employers, more generally. …

Fulham boss Jol: Bryan Ruiz is more than a match for Santi Cazorla
07:50 12 November 2012
EMPICS Sport
Martin Jol lavished praise on Bryan Luiz after Fulham's scintillating 3-3 draw with Arsenal at the Emirates, saying the Costa Rican overshadowed Gunners star Santi Cazorla.
Ruiz endured a difficult debut campaign in England following his £10.6million transfer from FC Twente last summer, but he is playing with a new lease of life this time around and was influential against the Gunners.
"He's a bit sharper now," said Jol. "He always looks for runners; he always looks for the opportunity to pass it. He will never play square.
"I don't think there are a lot of other number 10s who could do that.
"Last season sometimes he was caught out a bit, maybe you need time in England. But this year he is one of our best players every time."
The 27-year-old was a constant menace to Arsenal on Saturday, providing two assists to help the Cottagers come from 2-0 down to lead 3-2 before Olivier Giroud's equaliser ensured the points were shared.
Jol was delighted with how Ruiz influenced the game as Fulham's number 10, saying he posed a greater threat than his Arsenal counterpart Cazorla.
"Cazorla he was their number 10 but he was playing so high up with Giroud that it was a problem for us," said Jol.
"So I knew that if we did that with Ruiz it could be a struggle for them.
"I think, tactically, Bryan did better than anyone else.
"He came back and every time you saw us break he got the ball and that is what we want.
"Then he plays it to Berbatov and everyone supports."
Ruiz and strike partner Berbatov have both been accused of laziness in the past, but Jol rubbished those claims, saying: "They are not lazy. Look at the stats.
"What do you want, a player without quality who works hard or a quality player who maybe works hard?"

In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Ojukwu, my hero–Osita, actor— July 27, 2013
100 Nigeria's Centennial Heroes Series
People have different ways of defining a hero. I don't have a personal definition. But since you are asking me, I would define a hero as someone who stood out for people, who sacrificed for people, who suffered for people, who speak out for people, who guided people so well, who lead people. Somebody like Nelson Mandela, I think he is a hero. I would not hesitate in calling him my hero from a global perspective. People have different perceptions of the way they see heroes.
In Nigeria, I would pick Ikemba Ojukwu as a hero. Ojukwu tried a lot for his people, even though people are still criticizing him. Even in death, he is still a hero. Or let me say he was a hero. He was one person who stood up and sacrificed his life to defend his people, who fought for his people, who spoke out against injustice, who spoke out to correct some issues that he felt was not good in his country. He tried to call for unity and justice at a time when unity and justice were not forthcoming. And he fought for it. He sacrificed for it. He spent his earnings for it. I think he deserves to be called a hero, a Nigerian hero.
I was not around when the war broke out. I was not yet born. But I heard all kinds of stories about what our people went through during the Nigerian Civil War. From what I heard and from what I read in history about Ojukwu, I think he should be called a hero.
He is not just a hero. He is a leader. He is a man who is courageous. He is a man who is determined. He is a man that you can follow and that is why he is a leader. Ojukwu is an example of determination and courage.
Coming to acting, which is my field, I won't say I have a particular hero. But I like Richard Mofe Damijo a lot. I like his acting. He is somebody I look up to. I like the way he acts and the way he carries himself, when he has to play a role in the movies. He plays his roles credibly. Among the female actresses, Genevieve Nnaji is also good.
I have not acted with RMD. So far, no script has brought two of us together. I am looking forward to the day we can act together. That would be a great experience for me. In every role I play, I try to do my best. I have played in all kinds of movies, some of them challenging. Movies like Criminal Law, Jadon, the Godfather, Rhythm of gods, Mirror Boy and so many others.
In Mirror Boy I was playing the character of a spirit who came in a human form to guide and lead somebody. I played the role of a father to the boy. I tried to put myself in that character, not to see myself as a human being in the movie because I was not. The character was not a human being in the movie. It's a spirit that just came out to lead the boy to his destination. It was challenging—the way I walked and talked. I tried to put myself in that character. Genevieve was good in the movie. She did well. All of us did well.
I thank God for the talent he has given me to act and make people happy. Everything I am today, it's all thanks to my movie career. In terms of wealth, I am not poor. I will say I am comfortable. I try to invest. I invest in real estate, I invested in human beings. And for me that is the best investment you can have. Investing in human beings. What is called capacity-building.
Over the years, life has taught me to relax, to have patience. Life has to taught to be on the move, to get moving to seek for whatever you want and not giving yourself limitations to say "this is what I can do and this is what I cannot do." With determination and faith in God, you can do all things. Life has taught be to be focused and getting things done.
Right now, I have just written a book. It was borne out of my desire to see myself as an inspiration to a lot of young minds. And I want them to feel something that is coming out from me, something more thought-provoking, something that will keep them motivated and inspired to say that this is coming from Osita. The writings came out from my life experiences. I have always wanted to be a writer. And the only way is to write. So I decided to put my thoughts on paper. If you have something inside you and you don't bring it out, you don't feel fulfilled.
I invited an artist to support the writings with illustrations that would suit the quotes. So that when you are reading it, you will be able to illustrate it with the artworks. It is a book filled with wisdom quotes based on what I have experienced in my life, in my day-to-day activities and being able to capture things the way it should be.
If you call me a philosopher, sure I will answer. I am pushing the book all by myself. I am inviting the government, state government and its agencies to come into it and see that the book is distributed and people would be able to read it.
From my little experience as a writer, I can say that it is not easy to write at all. Writing is a mental work. It is very challenging. It requires a lot of self-discipline, a lot of practice and a lot of determination. It is very difficult to write, I must say.
I am not a fictional writer. I write based on reality even though I work in a world of drama. Drama is something else. You can just wake up and start performing. Drama is not you, it is a character that you are playing. You get into the character and you start acting. But in real life, you are not playing yourself. If you are a child in a drama, in real life you are not a child. You don't need to behave like a child. Yes, a lot of people mistake me for a child in real life, but that is their problem. I am not a child. I don't think I look like a child. I don't allow that to bother me because I am not seeing it. People can see me and take me as a child, but that person is not with his senses because from the way I dress, the way I look, I don't think I am looking like a child. People can meet me at first and have a spontaneous reaction of seeing a child but when they sit down and look very well, they would understand that I am not a child.
As an actor, I love to see myself as a professional. Professionalism is being disciplined with your job. When you are called to come out by seven o'clock, you are there on time to do your job. You do your job, you rehearse, you read your script, you prepare yourself for the role. That is professionalism. And being ethical about what you do.
For every kid who wants to be an actor, you have to look inside you and see what you think, what your instinct is telling you that you can do. Some people are good in business and they just leave it and come and be a musician or an actor. At the end of the day, they won't make it. I think the first thing is to look inside you, listen to your heart and what it is telling you about who you are and what you would like to be. The second thing is to attach yourself to that field you want to belong and seek knowledge of the field. You have to pay your dues. You have to go to school to seek knowledge. That is very important. Then you have to choose a role model, select the good actor that you want to emulate. When you come on set you listen to your director, your producer. Then of course, you have to do your homework. You have to familiarize yourself with the script and rehearse. I do rehearse at home in front of the mirror to see how well I play the role. It all boils to hard work. Hard work makes everything looks easy on screen.

This time last season, Chris Jones and De'Runnya Wilson weren't quite household names. Jones was leading his Houston team to their first-ever playoff win and Wilson was just going through his second season of organized football gearing up for his first love, basketball. Jones' story was just beginning as the next three months would become something out of a movie. The talented defensive lineman started out a tall, lanky pass rusher that was bigger and faster than every tackle that he went up against. Jones committed to the Bulldogs as a 2* defensive end and most fans and analyst felt he was under the radar but everyone would be in for a surprise by the end of 2012. Jones flew up the rankings eventually landing on the number two spot in America. Now, he's bulked up and become a problem for opposing offenses in his first season. ...More...

Great win yesterday. Now, come on Jax, we gotta have a win today.
Does winning even matter?
A win is a win is win. If for no other reason, you have to play for yourself. But I understand what you mean.
I do not want to see the Braves celebrating in Wrigley. I was hoping that Washington would lose last night so I would not have to watch it. Now I have to hope for a Cubs win…
I have to agree with you. I was hoping for that Nats loss too so they could celebrate in their hotel last night. We need that 4th overall pick in 2014 but the Braves just rub me the wrong way. Lost season for the Cubs but I don't want to see them celebrating at Wrigley!
Andrew cashner will have a better career than Anthony rizzo.
Where in the sam hell did this even come from?
Where alot of other things come from with this particular poster.
I think "Voice of Reason" raises a good point. Rizzo is hitting very close to the Mendoza line. Cash is being Cash, with his 3.24 ERA and 1.15 WHIP. I have always questioned that deal. I'm not saying I don't like Riz, but one does have to question the "deal".
Top Ten Sentences Never Before Spoken:
10. I think "Voice of Reason" raises a good point.
9. I always enjoy Die hard's profound insights into baseball.
8. . . .
DarthHater NEVER pounces on people's opinions.
Yep, never heard that one before. 😉
Not that this means much but .231 is closer to league average than it is the Mendoza line.
I wouldn't go that far. Average does have relevance in evaluating.
For sure, I was just razzing because it gets people fired up around these parts.
I never let a talking gerbil get me fired up. 😛
Don't make me play the battle of Endor card.
Yes. And I did not realize this. Riz and Cash have exactly the same War stats, sitting @ 2.2 respectively. Yikes, now I don't know what side of the Mendoza line I'm on. Good comment.
Checkout his home/road splits.
It's highly probable he wouldn't be having the same stats as he has now.
Yea, when you look at analytical stats that adjust for things like park effects, Cashner's numbers don't look as good. For example, Baseball Prospectus uses "Fair Run Average" (FRA).* Edwin Jackson's 2013 FRA is equal to Cashner's, and Travis Wood's and Samardzija's are better.
*From Baseball Prospectus Glossary:
Fair Run Average (FRA) is scaled to run average and measures not only what a pitcher did, but also when he did it. Adjustments are made for defensive quality.
Fair Run Average differs from FIP in a few ways. While FIP is concerned only with what a pitcher is believed to control-typically strikeouts, walks, and home runs, though Prospectus includes hit batsmen in our FIP calculation-Fair Run Average takes things a step further. Pitchers receive credit for good sequencing, thus rewarding pitchers who seem to work out of jams more often than usual. Fair Run Average also considers batted ball distribution, base-out state, and team defensive quality (as measured by Fielding Runs Above Average).
Darth, is that U or DOC Wim?
It's me. Doc actually speaks his own thoughts. I just quote from websites. 😛
Speaking of Doc, I hope he he comments here if he has the time. His thoughts are always intriguing.
we should trade samardzija for ichiro sizuky.
We should just hang in there until all those hot young guns have a shot in a couple of years. Until then, enjoy the wins when they come. Hey Brett, are you on the AFL this fall? Looking forward to some great coverage of those guys between you and Luke! I'll be watching the divisional play offs and the WS, the NFL is intresting if the Bears do well. But when the ACC basketball season starts up, I'll be focused on that. I left Tobacco Road in 1984 for the Big Ten when I moved from North Carolina to Chicago. While everything else about the transfer to the Midwest went well, I just couldn't shake my allegiance to ACC basketball. So if there's som room here for that too during the off season, we can have some fun while we wait for Spring Training in February!
They should have traded shark to the dbacks when they had the chance to get over value for shark.
Shark is a number three starter and those are easy to come by.
Yeah they practically grow on trees those guys.
Oh, so what were the diamondbacks offering that was so appealing for Shark?
Sorry, hansman. You need to direct questions like that to Voice of Facts. 😛
I told you Darth hater that if I ever want any lip out of you I'll rattle my zipper.
You also told me that that you were never going to respond to my posts. Guess that was about as accurate as most of the other "reason" you voice.
Darth, you're like the chunky kid in school who always gets made fun of. The chunky kid always bullies others because of low self esteem.
Darth, u bully others on this website to make up for your lack of knowledge. You never post anything worthy opting instead to always bully others.
Its a very unattractive trait and the bullying obviously doesn't work with me.
Actually, I have seen many posts by other people also pointing out what a tediously arrogant, self-important douchenozzle you are. All such posts are quite "worthy."
Was that necessary. Really!
Oh, and if you're making "worthy" comments, you might want to go ahead and answer hansman's question one of these days. That goalpost-mover of yours is getting a lot of mileage.
Point well taken. But do you give Samarzija th BIG contract?
If you can get him on an Edwin Jackson type deal this offseason I'd say you do it.
Just curious. What is you reasoning behind your statement. You seem so confident in the guy.
There is no way I'm giving shark Edwin Jackson money. Trade him for more prospects. Shark is what he is a number three starter.
At this point, Cubs are questioning whether he is a 4th or 5th starter. He very well could be toast.
What is the reason for considering a 3 starter a knock?
If there's a guy to trade it would be Travis Wood.
Why? What basis?
Well he just had a career year so his value is the highest it's ever been vs Shark whose value has diminished this year. Not that I'm saying trade TWood but that would be the rationale.
Do you trade Wood or a under acheiving pitcher(Samardzija)? You dump Samardzija, as much as hate to say it. And that's final!
You don't dump somebody while they are underperforming. Shark is capable of pitching much better (see last year). His value is low right now. Why on earth would you trade him?
No it's not final, you trade neither and hope TWood continues this path and Shark regains his form. This need for absolutes about players after half a season of struggle baffles me. Ultra ding Shark for anything but a great return because 1-he hasn't become an Ace, 2-he had a bad second half, and/or 3-because some fans don't like him is ridiculous. You don't dump him for a meh return just because we're unhappy with the 2nd half.
Well said Soda (and I still love the name and avatar)
Somehow "trading" became "Ultra ding" which isn't a bad band or avatar name
Haha. Thanks goat. Had a good belly laugh about "Ultra-dinging" Shark.
Shark is better than a number 3 starter. His stuff is nasty. He just underperformed this year. I'm glad we still have him.
This is his second full year as a starter so you can't say he is underperforming. There is no true measuring stick for him.
His stuff is nasty? He is better than a #3 starter??
Oh brother!
I automatically get skeptical when somebody projects him or herself as a voice of reason. His stuff IS nasty. He ks over a batter per inning as a starter. Plus, just watch him pitch. It's pretty clear.
His stuff is far from "nasty". Sorry, but that's not debatable and nobody in their right mind will agree that it is "nasty!
Anyone agree that its nasty??
That said, its what I said, #3 starter stuff for shark. Far from nasty.
…annnnd I realize I've just fed a troll.
And I realize that I'm posting with someone who is drinking the cub kool aid or simply doesn't know baseball.
I agree about samardzija.I knew he wasn't as good as he was pitching earlier in the year and we should of traded him when his value was high.he reminds me of Zambrano lite the way he loses his composure on the mound when things are not going his way.
its amazing how many people are promoting shark related trades these days, when, as i recall, around the trade deadline everyone was saying if we didnt get an entire farm system for him we shouldn't trade him. can't have it both ways folks, stick to your guns
It is amazing to me just to see how quickly and easily things change. That and the idea that being "only" a #3 is some kind of knock…particularly a big, injury free "#3" with a mid-90's fastball and an out pitch offspeed…Wooooooooooe!
That said, I've always thought it was ridiculous to consider him untouchable. Of course that untouchable tag came after he broke out of being one of the two or three most hated guys on the roster…sports.
Itis enjoyable that the only Cubs players that get undying, irrational, The Notebook style love are the Campana's, Theriot's and backup catchers.
its amazing how well watkins will fit into that narrative.
For someone else maybe. Barney/Baez or Cano for 2014 2B!
"This need for absolutes about players after half a season of struggle baffles me. "
Sorry MichGoat. Samardzija has been doing this his whole baseball career. Milionaire because of baffling bullshit.

I think they have a teen mom board on here. Read a lot of parenting books. Prepare to sacrifice a lot. You can't be a rehular teen now. Put all your energy into being a great mom, and getting an education. Hopefully you have family help. Be strong! And read up on pregnancy and labor too
Posted 10/03/2012
I agree with Nagii.....check out the teen board. Ask for help from your family or trusted adult friends. The books will be a huge help too but don't let them scare you. They tell you everything that could happen but it doesn't mean it all will! Check with your doctor too andthe hospital wwhere you plan on having lo to see if thereare local groups that you can join that are single teenage mothers too! The more support the better for you. You can and will be a great mom! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!! Your life will change so much and you will face many challenges but it IS worth every second! :) Good luck little mommy! We r here for you!

I agree with the previous posters. Read up on things and talk parents who you trust and feel do a good job with their kids.
Being a mommy is a huge adjustment, but it can bring you so much joy. Parenthood is the most important job there is, so be ready to put your children first.
There are a lot of great ladies on this board and on other boards that can give you advice and support, but sometimes you will get different answers and have to sort out what is right for you and your baby.

My youngest sister was pregnant at 15. She stayed in school and, even though its tough, she is now on Community College. She did it with hard work, help and lots of patience. You can too!! As everyone else said -- read as much as you can, start saving money now, look into assistance programs. But most of all -- look forward to the day you lay eyes in the person who will love you unconditionally for the rest of your life.
Good luck to you!!
Good luck to you!!

The ideologically decrepit anti-war crowd returned to Washington last weekend for a reunion. The older among them abandoned hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of Vietnamese to imprisonment, torture, death and re-education camps. Their demonstrations were encouraging to the communist Vietnamese, sending the message that America lacked the will to win. These aging hippies and their progeny now want to do the same to millions of Iraqis, who have democratically elected their leaders.
This is the sunset of the "Age of Aquarius." Yesterday, when they were young, they were the pampered generation that eschewed self-control for self-indulgence. They were (and are) so vain; they probably thought the world was about them. They were the redeeming generation that would save their parents from their sins by ending war, curing racism and cleaning the air and water. Their failure has long been obvious to all but them. To them, intentions, not success, are paramount. Because they believe their intentions are noble, they absolve themselves from the negative consequences of their actions.
As with the Vietnam anti-war protests, several of the same Hollywood actors spoke against the effort to make Iraq a stable and independent nation. Hollywood is the land of make-believe where love means never having to say you're sorry and acting means never having to take responsibility for your words and behavior, which are written and directed by others. These stars live behind gates with security alarms and guards who protect their privileged lives.
Is there anyone else's freedom these celebrities would defend? Do any other lives have value beyond their own? Since none of the older demonstrators took responsibility for what occurred in the aftermath of the Vietnam War, would any like to pledge now that if their protests help embolden the insurgents and Taliban to fight on until Iraq is in their clutches they will accept blame?
Why do these people always oppose America's efforts to defend itself and others? Why did they not protest in Washington, or in Baghdad, when Saddam Hussein was practicing genocide and his sons were raping and torturing their fellow Iraqis? Will we ever see an anti-Taliban protest? How about a demonstration against suicide bombers, or even those who produce and detonate roadside bombs in Iraq? Why do these people think only their country is evil?

Green Bay - Here are some thoughts on the Green Bay Packers after their 27-17 exhibition loss to the Cleveland Browns on Saturday night in Cleveland.
It will be interesting to see what Mike McCarthy and his offensive coaches do at left guard this week after watching Derek Sherrod and T.J. Lang. From here, it's absolutely too close to call.
Sherrod, the 2011 first-round draft choice, started and ended up playing 25 snaps at left guard. Lang replaced him at left guard on the second series and finished with 26 snaps.
Once left tackle Chad Clifton sat down after playing 11 snaps in the first two series, Sherrod and Lang rotated at left tackle and left guard through the third quarter. In all, Lang played 51 snaps compared to 43 for Sherrod.
Using totally subjective criteria and without knowledge of their assignments, a plus or minus was assigned to Sherrod and Lang on each play.
Lang had seven minuses in his 51 snaps, or 13.7%. Sherrod had eight minuses in his 43 snaps, or 18.6%. Each player had almost an equal amount of minuses at guard and tackle.
Sherrod is playing left guard about the same way many scouts said he played left tackle at Mississippi State.
He has good balance and plays on his feet. His athleticism is pretty good, certainly not great. He has enormous arms and hands. His strength is below average. He can be inconsistent. He isn't a physical run blocker. He's bright and doesn't make many mistakes.
Sherrod was much better in the third quarter than in the first half. As a guard in the first half, he missed backup linebacker Titus Brown in the open field on a screen pass and was beaten badly on a spin move by backup defensive tackle Scott Paxson.
The pressure by Paxson came on one of the 17 plays at guard in which Sherrod had a defensive lineman covering him up. It was an excellent look for the coaches because of all the four-man fronts the Packers will face early in the season.
As a tackle, Sherrod had three bad plays in a two-minute drill against another backup, end Marcus Benard.
Despite his shortcomings, Sherrod is so much bigger and longer than the departed Daryn Colledge and Lang, too. Size should never be minimized when combined with a degree of athleticism, which the rookie certainly has.
Lang appears to be playing with considerably more confidence than in his first two seasons. He has been more physical than ever before. He's using his hands better. At 6 feet 4 inches and about 315, he has ideal dimensions for guard.
He shouldn't be underestimated.
At the same time, Lang and Sherrod both had their share of problems against stunts. Lang showed some recognition deficiencies. When Lang did get up to the second level in the run game, he had at least one miss. He was OK at the point.
At this point, Sherrod and Lang are the Packers' fifth and sixth best offensive linemen. Marshall Newhouse has had an impressive camp at left tackle but was a keen disappointment when the lights came on, allowing a sack and pair of pressures at right tackle.
Based on body type, strength and experience, Bryan Bulaga would be a better left guard than Sherrod. He's stronger, thicker and more physical, and was a one-year starter at left guard for Iowa.
If Bulaga was moved inside, Sherrod then would become the starting right tackle.
Would the disruption associated with such a shift be worth it in an attempt to get the five best linemen on the field at their most logical positions?
Moving Bulaga, who looks improved from his rookie season, might backfire. Plus, there's no guarantee Sherrod would succeed at right tackle, another position he hasn't played.
The day will come when Clifton can't answer the bell. What happens then? That's why the Packers drafted Sherrod in the first place. He is Clifton's heir apparent.
Sherrod would go back to his natural position of left tackle. Bulaga would have to go back to right tackle. Lang then would start at left guard, the least important of the three positions.
Defensive coordinator Dom Capers is plunging ahead with his Eagle version of the 3-4 base defense.
On the six plays in which the No. 1 unit was in the 3-4, five times Ryan Pickett was at nose tackle compared to just once for B.J. Raji. With Pickett at nose, Mike Neal lined up to the strong-side (tight end) side of the formation and Raji was the weak-side end.
Pickett almost never played nose last season, but part of that was because the Packers had Cullen Jenkins as the other end and they didn't want Raji having to eat up blocks on the strong side. With Jenkins in Washington, Capers surely can see Raji in a role similar to Jenkins'.
Anyone with questions why Morgan Burnett was given his job back at strong safety over Charlie Peprah shouldn't have them after Saturday night.
Burnett's inability to be physical all the time as a rookie hurt the defense. Not only was Peprah a better communicator in the back end, he played with heart and reckless abandon.
Peprah's shortcomings in speed and athleticism were evident once more against the Browns. He got caught inside twice for sizable completions, and tight end Evan Moore would have hauled in a 20-yard pass behind him if Seneca Wallace had thrown a better ball.
On a down night for the defense, Burnett was about the only standout. He closed aggressively to smack Peyton Hillis, and on the next play made a sure tackle of Moore on a third-and-1 hitch route. Burnett needed a screaming reminder from Nick Collins and Tramon Williams to get lined up properly, but once he did, his tackle of Moore was one that Peprah would struggle to make.
It seemed rather telling that rookie free agents Vic So'oto and Jamari Lattimore were used at outside linebacker before rookie Ricky Elmore, a sixth-round draft choice. Compared to Elmore, So'oto is more rugged and Lattimore is more explosive.
Early in his four-series stint, Elmore allowed himself to get rag-dolled straight into the turf by rookie tight end Jordan Cameron, who played as much basketball as football in college.
Even counting Clay Matthews, who exited for good four plays into the Browns' opening series, the outside linebackers not only didn't have a sack, they didn't have a knockdown or even a pressure. If one wanted to be generous, So'oto might have had one hurry.
Obviously, that can't continue. On a night when Capers kept it vanilla, there was no pass rush from anyone.
Erik Walden reported at 250 pounds, up 12 from the end of last season, mainly to power rush and set the edge. While Walden has been more of a hammer, the 37-yard seam route to tight end Benjamin Watson raised questions if the additional poundage has made him less of a space athlete.
Walden showed no burst whatsoever after Watson flew past him coming off the line on a play-action fake.

What specialists treat botulism?
In addition to the patient's primary-care physician, other physicians may be appropriate to consult; for example, for hospitalized patients, a critical-care specialist, neurologist, infectious-disease specialist, and a pediatric specialist if a child or infant has the disease.
What are complications from botulism?
Botulism can result in death from respiratory failure. In the past 50 years, the rate of death from botulism has fallen significantly. Unfortunately, a patient with severe botulism may require not only a breathing machine for ventilation but also intensive medical and nursing care for several months to survive.
Patients who survive an episode of botulism poisoning may experience fatigue and shortness of breath for years, and long-term therapy may be needed to aid recovery.
In 2009, the FDA increased its label precautions on the three available products: Botox, Dysport, and Myobloc. All three are different formulations of the toxin and are not interchangeable with regard to dosing. In addition, the FDA cautions that all the symptoms of botulism can occur if the treatments are inappropriately given, especially in high doses or if some of the solution seeps out of the localized area where it is injected. The FDA further warned health-care professionals that suppliers of medical toxins that do not have FDA approval may supply faulty products that could harm individuals.
What is the prognosis (outcome) of people with botulism?
Untreated botulism has a mortality rate (death rate) of about 50%. Appropriately treated patients with botulism currently still have a mortality rate of about 3%-5%. Some patients may experience various degrees of paralysis for many months. In general, the earlier the diagnosis and treatment of the disease, the better is the prognosis. However, outcomes may be considered only fair in some patients who develop chronic fatigue and shortness of breath for many years after the initial diagnosis and treatment of botulism.

First post updated with new version and options_default.ini. You can update within the manager, too.
You need to change the reason for editing part from the 1st post. It states "new version 1.08.05 is out" but it's actually v1.08.06. No biggy but thought I'd let you know! Thanks dean!
Will this patch method work for games that require 3.50 like the new move fighter uncaged game
Ohh man!!! Big thanks for your great software! It seems to be the best manager I`ve got on my PS3.
Is it homebrew menu was blocked in last versions?
In that case, can we request that such a Memory Patch is added to MultiMan next? Many people have been trying to get MOH to work..
My MOH works without patch, i don't know why you are having this problem.
The installation used to get stuck at 0%, but I just tried again and it installed and plays fine with the latest version of MultiMan. I guess no memory patch is needed.
Good, but i will just say this as a warn, if someone are getting trouble with installation, try to remove the update and any game file already installed and run the game and let it install the files again.
After that you can update.
Wich Payload are you Using? Hermes? PL3?
Hello Deanrr,
First of all, its a great program. I use it from the beginning.
The only 2 problems that i have are.
1 - when i use FTP, and i copy a game or delete a game i cant exit MultiMan any more. Because the ps3 hangs. And i have to restart the PS3. Not only with the new version, bud also with other versions.
2 - the new "multiMAN ver 1.08.06" gives a lot of double game entries. Even when i turn "Secondary search folders:" off with "#" in front. In options.ini and in options_default.ini. Strange thing is, a lot of games (most) are double but not all. And not only on hdd0 but also on usb00x.

What is GWB?
Geoscientists Without Borders® is a relatively new humanitarian program administered by the Society of Exploration Geophysicists Foundation (SEG F). The first projects were awarded in 2008. These humanitarian projects are creating a lasting legacy and a brighter future while raising the profile of applied geosciences.
The GWB projects are submitted and managed by proposers. The SEG Foundation administers the grant but does not manage projects.
Only certified not for profit entities. Most but not all of our projects have been awarded to academic entities. Project teams are often composed of a variety of academic, industry and government entities.
The maximum amount for a project is US$50,000 for each year of the project.
The maximum length of a funded project is 2 years. The second year funding is not automatic. A first year report is required and the funding request is reviewed by the GWB Committee.
Not really, this is a global program "without borders". However, donors may restrict their monies to a geographic region.
Yes. Projects must involve students in the process so that they can learn how the technologies can be used for humanitarian goals and to provide real world experience to the future geophysical workforce. Several of our projects have been led by graduate students.
The SEG Foundation Board of Directors is the only entity that can approve project funding.
The SEG Foundation has created the Geoscientists Without Borders® Technical Committee responsible for reviewing applications and making recommendations for funding the SEG Foundation Board.
There is a maximum of 7 and a minimum of 5 members on the technical committee. These volunteers are selected and appointed by the SEG Foundation Board of Directors to a two-year term. Members are eligible for reappointment for up to two consecutive terms.
Project selection is a two-phase process.
Phase I: Is a brief on-line application reviewed by the GWB Technical Committee. Each committee member individually reviews and ranks each application. The committee chair conducts a consensus meeting to discuss individual scores and provides a final ranking to the SEG Foundation Board of Directors for funding consideration. Applicants with the best plan to meet GWB program goals are asked to submit a full proposal for further review.
Phase II: Proposals must be no more than 20 pages and are due 30 days after Phase I results notification. The Committee reviews the full proposals and submits their funding recommendation to the SEG Foundation Board.
Funding requests are reviewed twice a year, generally in the spring and fall.
The Friends of GWB is social network that allows individuals interested in the activities of GWB to communicate with each other and to follow GWB developments.

Joan Rivers interviewed from a Port-A-Potty. Plus: Lovevolution offers an education
SUPER EGO How could anyone say no to Joan Rivers? The turbulent past, the red-carpet gushes, the petrified visage? Sure, we could blame her for Kathy Griffin and the rise of celebrity culture, but she also created the one true tagline of our time in a Geico commercial that defined a generation: "I can't feel my face!" Recently roasted, the hysterically hysterical comedian is gracing us with her presence in early October, and the only time she could talk to me was smack dab in the middle of Folsom Street Fair. So I unhooked myself and ducked in to a Porta-Potty to call her in New York.
SFBG Hi Joan, please forgive any background noise. I'm calling you from our giant leather fetish festival, the Folsom Street Fair.
Joan Rivers Fantastic! I'm there with you in my heart.
SFBG I remember you were here in San Francisco this time last year. The gay press published the screaming headline, "Leather Fair a huge success!" with a big picture of your face underneath it.
JR I really couldn't ask for much more.
SFBG This year's fair falls on Yom Kippur, so you get the beatings and the atonement all in one. Do you observe Yom Kippur?
JR I do observe it. I'm the matron of my family, so I have a huge dinner to prepare!
SFBG I'll keep it short and sweet, then. I adore your signature line of jewelry that you sell on QVC. Lately, I've seen many up-and-coming drag queens wearing your items.
JR It's such an absolutely gorgeous collection, and I'm not just saying that because it's mine. It's truly exquisite, and I'm sure it looks lovely on the girls.
SFBG It really does. And congratulations on your hard-fought win on this year's Celebrity Apprentice. You went tooth and nail!
JR The best part was donating my winnings to [meal-delivery service to AIDS patients] God's Love We Deliver, a charity I've been supporting for years. Let me tell you, Marke, it was such a thrilling experience. Would I do it all again? No.
SFBG At 76, you're still doing standup. You're doing four shows in two nights at Cobb's. Good lord! What are the crowds like here?
JR I love San Francisco. I once lived there for a month when I was in residence at the Magic Theater and it was a beautiful time. San Francisco is smart and it's gay. What more do you need as a performer?
