I raced the Kirkwood Cat 4 race on saturday. Big field, strong headwind on the long final straightaway. I was sick as a dog most of the week and didn't even ride my bike until friday. First 2 laps my legs were heavy, I stayed between 30th-40th. By the 3rd lap almost half the field were gone, I made my way up to the top 20. The finish is slightly uphill and the wind was blowing, people were going early and blowing up, I waited and waited til 200 meters and the sprint was on, I ended up 4th getting edged out of the podium by a few inches. Still got paid, which more then covered my race fee and 6 upgrade. I was pleased, especially since I almost didn't even go.
Here's a pic of the finish, I'm in the center, blue kit white helmet.

Planar's Clarity Matrix LCD Video Wall On Autodesk Revit (Photo: Business Wire)
Planar Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: PLNR), a global leader in digital display technology, announced that 3D Building Information Modeling (BIM) models of select Planar large format LCD displays and video walls are now available free through the Autodesk® Seek web service.Autodesk Seek allows architects, engineers and designers to easily find, preview and download 3D models of Planar displays. They can then incorporate these models into their building plans without having to create the models themselves. According to a report by McGraw-Hill Construction titled, "The Business Value of BIM in North America: Multi-Year Trend Analysis and User Ratings (2007-2012)," BIM adoption has grown 500% in the past years among AEC (Architect, Engineering, Construction) professionals and research indicates that up to 80% of firms have adopted BIM. "The BIM process has transformed design and construction with its ability to improve project 3D design and team collaboration," says Jennifer Davis, vice president of marketing for Planar Systems. "By offering our products as BIM ready objects, we make it easier for architects, engineers and designers to integrate Planar displays into their project designs right from the start." 3D BIM models of three Planar product families are now available from the Autodesk Seek online content library, a web service that supplies free BIM models from a wide range of building product manufacturers. The models include Planar® Mosaic™ architectural video walls, Clarity™ Matrix LCD video walls and Planar® UltraLux™ Series large flat panel monitors. Each of these BIM models provides data-rich drawings and product specifications that accurately depict the displays and their options within Autodesk® Revit®, a market-leading 3D design platform. While Planar has provided 2D CAD drawings of its products for years, it was time-consuming for designers to turn these 2D drawings into accurate 3D objects. With the 3D BIM models available on Autodesk Seek, building professionals can now download these models and easily plug them right into their overall project designs, speeding up their work and improving the quality of their project models.

text: I started getting strange muscle twitches last semester after I started taking caffeine pills. Now this summer, when I don't sleep enough, I get them every time. Sometimes it's something small like a toe moves on its own, on and off, for a few hours. But sometimes it is down right annoying such as my left bicep twitches or a back muscle will start. Being these are larger muscles, I worry it is noticeable to others. What is causing this and how do I stop it?

Wilkerson enlisted in the Air Force and served as a mechanic until 1971. Three years later he got the job at Piedmont. While Piedmont was jokingly called the "puddle jumper" airline, Wilkerson was proud to work as one of the first and few black pilots in the industry. He gained much attention as one of the few black men in uniform.
Wilkerson logged more than 17,000 hours as a pilot for Piedmont. He was finally able to take his family to the places he'd only seen in the National Geographic magazine as a child. In 2011, he was inducted into the Tennessee Aviation Hall of Fame.
Bill Wilkerson continues to give tours at the North Carolina Transportation museum and work with the Federal Aviation Administration on pilot safety issues.

Southside Hoods
The Southside Hoods are a prominent African-American gang in Shoreside Vale, Liberty City who came to acquire their turf in Wichita Gardens while helping Toni Cipriani clear the Forelli family out of Wichita Gardens as payback for their part in having Salvatore Leone arrested. They are comprised of the Red Jacks and Purple Nines, both rival gangs. In GTA III, the latter is known to have supplied the SPANK drug on local streets.
The Red Jacks are a small scale street gang headed by D-Ice. Most of their missions provided in GTA III involve crippling Purple Nines activities. Eventually, the Purple Nines would be extinct, with their remaining members defeated in a mêlée battle.
The GTA III rendition of Southside Hoods members wear jackets of either red or purple, depending on which side they belong to, but are not seen attacking each other on the streets. Stranger yet, when a Red Jack is attacked, any nearby Purple Nines will rush to assist the gang member who is being assaulted; the same holds true in reverse. This is also suggested when D-Ice warned that Red Jacks would believe that they will also be shot at when they witness Purple Nines being killed by the player. In GTA:LCS, the Red Jacks and Purple Nines are apparently united, portrayed wearing brown jackets, over red hoodies with their hoods up (depicting a Red Jack) or purple shirts (depicting a Purple Nine), pants and boots.

Phosphates with plants??
What would be the harm in using a phosphate buffer with live plants in the tank? I see in the information on the bottle of buffer that it says not to use it if you have live plants.
If the instruction say no, don't do it. Phosphate buffer is not recommended for planted aquarium because phosphate is the primary cause for algae growth which quickly over takes your planted aquarium. Although phosphate buffer is stronger that non-phosphate based, using a non-phosphate buffer is still good enough. I have a planted tank and I don't use a phosphate-buffer.
The only live plant I have left after the SD's ate them all is a Java fern. Does that matter?
I wouldn't risk it. Plus you will have to deal with algae tank. Go buy yourself a non-phosphate based buffer. It is better on the long run anyhow and I wouldn't risk killing java fern when the instruction say not to use it.
ok thanks lenny

The survey administered to the candidates was designed to elicit information on what they considered to be the most important issues of the campaign, their views on these issues, and their perceptions of the positions of their constituents. The candidates were also asked what influenced them, and what they felt influenced the outcome of the campaign. Derived measures calculate 85th Congress roll-call scores on social welfare, foreign involvement, and civil rights issues. Roll-call data and information on committee activities of the congressmen are also provided. The combined candidate and constituent files (this collection and ICPSR 7292) contain the same candidate information as in ICPSR 7226, but are structured around the district as unit of analysis. This data collection provides candidate and constituent data organized by incumbency status of candidates, while ICPSR 7292 is organized by party identification of the candidates. In addition to the survey information on the candidates, this collection contains data on constituents taken from the 1956, 1958, and 1960 AMERICAN NATIONAL ELECTION STUDIES (ICPSR 7214, 7215, and 7216) for 114 of the 146 districts. Demographic information on candidates includes sex, race, year of birth, size of birthplace, highest graduate degree, prior occupations, public offices previously held, several indices of spatial mobility, religious preference, and ethnic background.

A Little Progress on the Millers/Mllers in New York
While I have not tracked them back to Germany yet, I have made progress on my father's father's father's family.
The Bixenman Family History book, by Sister Catherine Seemann had the most information so far found on the Mller family. It spoke of the Mller siblings, Charles (my great-grandfather), Gottlieb, Anna, Sophia, and Rika. It said Anna married a man with the last name of Quenzer and they were involved in a dry cleaning business in New York. It said Sophia married a man with the last name of Schmalzl and Rika married a man with the last name of Susenberger.
We have detailed information about the Charles Miller line since he is my great-grandfather.
The book said the siblings were all born in Germany and came to America. It said Charles was born in 1852, came to American in 1872 and lived in New York for a while before moving to Missouri where he met and married Philomena Bixenman. My father said that my grandfather said that my great-grandfather wouldn't talk about his history or family but that he came to America to escape service in the German military. He was afraid that if he talked about it, they'd track him down as a deserter. He said he thought he still had relatives in Germany but didn't know where.
This is all we knew about my great-grandfather's siblings. I have now found a bit more.
I found Gottlieb Mller in New York. He was born on May 29, 1868 and in about 1896 married a Rebeca (b. Aug 1867 in Germany). Their children (all born in New York) were Katrina (b. May 1897), Bertha Ann (b. Sep 1899) and Harold T. (b. 1905). Gottlieb owned a laundry cleaning business, apparently with his brother-in-law, whose last name was Quenzer. The business was called "Quenzer Bros and Mller", which later went out of business, and "Quenzer & Mller" at 1401 Madison Ave, New York was opened. His business partner for the second business was George Quenzer. This was in business from at least 1910 until 1919 for sure. He was not in this business in 1900 and the building that is there now was built in about 1920. A restaurant called "One Fish Two Fish" was at this location recently but is now closed and the building is vacant. They apparently opened a second location at 7th Ave and 168 Lenox Ave. In 1900, he was a brewer with a brewery wagon living at 116 E. 57th Street, New York. In 1910, he was a dry cleaning business owner living at about 1408 Madison Ave, New York. I'm not 100% of the address. His business was definitely at 1401 Madison Ave but the census has an entry four above his that specifies 1408 Madison Ave but nothing next to his or anyone else's name. I found his naturalization index entry which specifies his arrival in the US as into the port of New York in 1893.
Anna Mller married a man with the last name of Quenzer but I haven't been able to narrow down his first name yet. The Bixenman book specifies that she married a Quenzer that was involved in the dry cleaning business so I'm pretty sure he was Gottlieb's partner but can't be 100% certain about it as he may have been one of the Quenzer brothers who dropped out of the business when it was reestablished as "Quenzer & Mller".
Sophia Mller married Joseph Schmalzl. She was born in about 1871, he was born in about 1866. Their children were Otto (b. abt 1895), Catherine (b. abt 1897) and Joseph Jr. (b. abt 1899). I don't know for certain if it was them but there was another entry for a laundry business for "Schmalzl Bros" at 322 Lenox Ave, New York and a "Schmalzl, Jos." at 421 Grand Ave, New York.
I haven't found anything new about Rika Mller Susenberger yet.
If you have any information on any of these families, I'd be happy to hear from you!
Update on Bixenman Books
After emailing the long list of people expected to be interested in the republishing of the Bixenman Family History Book, Volume 1, I received an email from a distant cousin. She said, "I wish I had known you were looking for Sister Catherine's books. She gave me her copies of the Bixenmann family books and I have two copies of Book 2 and would love to send it to you as you are the first one to express interest."
So, my republishing wasn't "necessary" in order for me to obtain a copy. That's okay though. I'm happy to have it available to others who are interested given the short supply that is out there. I've decided to do the same thing with volume 2. I'm actually considering putting the two volumes together into one. I believe it would be within the page limits of the on-demand self-publishing site. If so, I think I'll make them available individually, in case someone needs just one volume. In addition, I'll see if I can put them into a single volume. I think this could be the next major project, to start from scratch to publish the entire Bixenman Family Tree book, including George Bixenman's branch, since I've since received that also.
However I proceed, I'll definitely work with Paula to be sure the best possible book is published.
Completed Project
I just republished the Bixenman Family History book, Volume 1. Thank you Paula for sending me good copies of the original book. I've received the first copy of the book and verified it looks good. You can order it here.
This makes two major projects I've finished in the past few months. The next major project is to take the research already completed on my wife's genealogy and put it into a database so we can use it for various future projects. First though, a break from genealogy for a bit to work on things around the house. What? Real life exists? Yes, there is a life outside of genealogy. Time to work on it a bit.
Continuing Progress on Projects
I finished scanning and editing the pages of the Bixenman Family History book and am in the process of generating and verifying the pdf file for on demand publication. Hopefully I'll have a copy of the book in my hands in the next week or two.
Gift from a cousin
I've been working on recreating (to republish) the family history books of the Bixenman family using my poor quality scans for the pictures and retyping all the text. That's quite a job when just volume 1 is nearly 500 pages! My distant cousin sent me good quality photocopies of all the pages of volume 1. Now, I'm scanning each of these in and will just have to clean them up a bit and put them together into a book. What a life saver! Instead of MAYBE having it done by the end of the year, I fully expect to be done well before that. Thank you Paula!
I was able to meet up with the ship expert on Wednesday and got good scans of the ship image and the ad for Norddeutscher Lloyd from the time-frame of my great-grandfather's voyage to America. It lists the trip between Bremen and New Orleans for November 19 and shows that the Hanover I is the ship making the voyage. My great-grandfather took the trip in September of 1872 so it's not an ad for his exact voyage but at least in the correct time-frame because he traveled on this ship.
I put together the updates for the book. Every time I think I had it ready, I found another small thing to correct. Finally, on Saturday, I published the Second Edition of the book. I posted a note about it on my extended family's Facebook group page and sent the email to the long list of relatives that would be interested. I also posted .pdf files of the pages that were changed the most onto my Family History Links page on Rootsweb so people who have the first edition can print them up and place them into their book so they have all the updated information.
This morning, I got an email from one of my second cousins saying that another second cousin, who traveled from Australia to attend our family reunion last month had passed away. He went in for knee surgery and was home recovering when he passed in his sleep. I'm glad I was able to meet James Adrian Panther, b. Feb 29, 1944, d August 24, 2012 before his passing.
Now to get back to re-publishing my dad's genealogy. Hopefully it will be done by the end of the year.
First Family History Blog Entry
I'm not sure if I want to try to keep up on a genealogy blog but thought I'd give it a try. Just my thoughts on what I've been doing lately and challenges I'm having.
My genealogy work load is through the roof right now. Granted, I don't do it for a living and I don't do anyone else's genealogy so it's just what I feel I need to work on for my own family tree. I just have so much in the works that I'm having difficulty keeping up. Here's a list off the top of my head:
1. Second edition of my Panther family history book. I put out the first edition almost exactly one year ago and I've gotten new information that really needs to be in there. The updates are: a) a CORRECT picture of the ship my great-grandfather came to America on. The one in the first edition is, not only wrong, but very wrong. This is the main reason I want the second edition put out. b) An old family photo from the village he was from that no one knew who was in it. My second-cousin sent me a letter she's had in her possession for a while that tells us exactly who it is. c) New information about the history of the ship my great-grandfather's brother came over on. I need to get this put out because the city manager of the village my ancestors are from is ordering 6 copies of the book and I want to be sure they have all the correct information. This is high-priority, like in the next week. The person who gave me information about the ships also appears to have a schedule/ad from the shipping company my great-grandfather use from the approximate timeframe. It actually advertises for the voyage my great-grandfather took to America. The problem is that I've had difficulty getting together with the person who has this. It's just that my work schedule is inflexible at the moment and she's only available during certain times. I can't decide how to arrange my priorities at the moment. I really want to include this schedule/ad but I really need to get the second edition published ASAP.
2. Republishing my father's family history books. Someone put out my father's paternal grandmother's genealogy about 12 years ago but there are no copies available any longer. It's a two-volume set of hardcover books of about 450 pages each. I got my hands on a set about 6 months ago and I scanned them in using a very quick handheld scanner, except I got good scans of the photos. The person that put out the original books stated in the introduction that she is not copywriting the books and anyone can use the information any way they choose, but should just include acknowledgement, so that is not a problem. Besides, I'm just doing an on-demand publication for my immediate family because I truly want a copy of the books for myself and some of my siblings might also. I've got about 300 pages done. I'm having to retype the text and insert the photos. Once I get 100 pages into it, with photos, Word starts responding quite slowly so I'm having to split the books into several sections. I hope to have volume one done this year. The second volume will likely have to wait until next year.
3. My wife's genealogy. The good news is that the research for her family history is complete. We borrowed a copy of one of the books from her brother. I'm working on entering this into a database on my computer. Once this is done, there is a book put out for her grand-uncle when he became a US Senator and her mother was born and grew up in Germany and has an extensive family history on her side. I just need to gather everything into a database so we can work with the information.
4. Original research. Recently found two new sets of great-great-grandparents. I'm hot on the trail to jump the pond to track their families back to Ireland. One of my great-grandmothers has always been a mystery. I MAY have figured out where she was born. I'm just waiting to hear back from their local genealogy society from the query I sent them a few weeks ago.

Daniel Svahn's Minimalist Picnic Table is Made From a Pile of Salvaged Timber and Two Straps
Posted By Elliot Chang On May 2, 2013 @ 5:00 pm In Design,Green Furniture,Green Home decor,Green Products,Innovation | No Comments
Swedish designer Daniel Svahn [1] has created a clever conceptual table called Picnic [2] that is made of wood salvaged from storm-felled trees. The minimalist design takes the form of a cube of stacked planks held in place by two ratcheting industrial straps. The extruded planks form an impromptu picnic table that seats two.

Scott McClellan, former White House press secretary and author of the disputed tell-all book about the Bush White House's misleading ways, was asked on MSNBC's Hardball last week if the White House saw FOX News as a "tool'' for getting the president's word out.
"I make a distinction between the journalists and... the commentators,'' McClellan said. "There were commentators and other pundits of FOX News that were helpful to the White House... Certainly we got talking points to those people.''
He mentioned Bill O'Reilly in the mix.
"I never once received a talking point from the White House, so McClellan is not telling the truth about me,'' O'Reilly responded on his own The O'Reilly Factor on FOX. "Should I be angry? Naaah. But I have to call a lie a lie.''
And then O'Reilly got McClellan on his radio show, The Radio Factor: "The truth is, I messed up,'' McClellan told O'Reilly. "I was specifically not trying to single anyone out, including you.''
The truth is, the White House distributes taliking points all the time. They're called "Fact Sheets,'' and they tout the claimed advantages and distilled highlights of presidential action and initiatives on all sorts of fronts. They're distributed to the media widely, for use by whomever or whenever anyone in the media sees fit.
And the truth is, as McClellan put it on Hardball, every administration has its friends in the media whom it reaches out to for help. Vice President Dick Cheney, for one, has spent a lot more time with Sean Hannity than with Chris Matthews.

The gently sloped and round hills of this area are covered with row upon row of tea bushes. It's very picturesque and attracts large numbers of photographers.
Try to get there in the early morning for the best views. By late afternoon the mountains are often covered in the mist that makes tea growing in the area so successful.

The Money,
The Three Most Powerful Principles I Have Learned from Millionaires
Dr. Robert Anthony
Over the years I have had the privilege to spend time with some very financially and spiritually enlightened people.
As a result, my personal life and the way I do business has changed...
In listening to these people talk and observing how they handle their personal and business lives, three very distinct and powerful traits came to my attention.
I believe if all these three traits were applied to your life, they would make such a dramatic change, that in a short time all the things you desire would show up in your life...including as much money as you desire.
I don't say that lightly, I really have been influenced by these three Spiritual Principles and their power. I believe no, I KNOW, you will be too, if you apply them in your life.
Principle Number 1: They KNOW They Can Create Whatever They Desire...
Spiritual Millionaires choose what they want instead of focusing on what they dont want. They never spend time thinking about what is missing from their life. Rather, they make a choice about what they want in their life.
Spiritual Millionaires have 100% confidence in the Law of Attraction. The have no doubt about their ability to create what they desire.
They dont believe it - they KNOW it...
There is a world of difference between believing and knowing. When you know the truth about anything, there is no doubt.
You have 100% confidence...
Knowing is about trusting that you are the only one who knows what is right for you, that you are capable of handling whatever comes to you, and that you are clear on your intentions or the outcome you choose to create.
I've seen the power of being absolutely clear on my intentions for my life: They come true!
They have for me, and I watched the Spiritual Millionaires as their intentions came to reality for them as well.
Being clear on your intentions is a good first step.
However, a more powerful and life-changing step is trusting that those intentions are ALREADY a reality on the non-physical plane of consciousness, and that they must manifest in your physical reality if you do not hold any opposing thoughts.
And then, "Act As If..." your intentions are reality, now.
Not dishonestly, or outside of your true beliefs. But, to feel it, sense it, imagine how its going to "show up" in various situations once it manifests in your life.
Principle Number 2: They Take Action...
As I observed
Spiritual Millionaires, I noticed that they didn't hesitate to move on
their ideas and respond to situations that called for action in order
to keep the momentum going.
If you're sitting waiting for something to happen, doing other "important" tasks rather than those that you know will produce the results you desire , you are wasting time and you are no closer to your desire.
Trust me on this one, I've waited for so many things in my life that never showed up!
Acting on your desire is habit that you desperately need to cultivate in order to get to where you want to be... Waiting will not do it...
I watched these Spiritual Millionaires, one after another, take immediate action, not out of fear or to force things to happen, but because the next action they took brought them one step closer to their desire.
And, I saw tremendous results come into their lives... They dont take unnecessary action. Instead, they use the leverage of energy, the same leverage of energy that creates everything in the universe.
I have seen these Spiritual Millionaires step into spaces of discomfort, and have courage to take action. It was also evident that they were as scared to take those steps as you and I are when we're faced with the choice of moving out of our comfort zone.
It's time to "Get Moving, trust your intuition, your sense of knowing what the next step is, and take action...
We often wait for the "feeling to be right" first, before we take the action we know will bring us satisfaction. That's all back-to-front...
The feelings of satisfaction only comes from ACCOMPLISHMENT, not from pondering and procrastinating. (You knew that one, too, didn't you...)
Never try to force things to happen because you are afraid of what will happen if you dont take a certain action. Instead, choose inspired action that moves you toward what you want, not away from what you dont want.
Acting on your intentions without trying to force things to happen will magnetize your desires by attracting people, places and opportunities into your into reality that you never would have even seen if you hadn't done so.
Principle Number 3: They Maintain an "Attitude of Gratitude...
Spiritual Millionaires maintain an attitude of gratitude...
Gratitude does not need explanation you know how to be grateful. But did you know that gratitude brings you more of what you appreciate? Gratitude speeds along the manifestation of your desires.
When you find things that you appreciate and you use them as your point of focus, your world has to get better in every area of your life. Spiritual Millionaires know that every time they flood their mind with appreciation or gratitude they attract more of what they desire.
Look around you right now. What can you be grateful for? Make a list. Get into the authentic feeling of true gratitude...
Find something, anything, to be grateful for right now. When you are grateful, you're in a high energy vibration that will attract more things to be grateful for and more good things will come to you magically, drawn in by your feelings of gratitude.
Dr. Robert Anthony is the author of 15 best-selling books, creator of the Rapid Manifestation Audio Program and the author of a new Free Report: How to Turn Your Mind Into a Money Magnet
P.S. The Easiest, Most Effective Way to Manifest Your Desires as Quickly as Possible!
After reviewing dozens of programs over the past few years, Dr. Robert Anthony's Rapid Manifestation Audio Program is still my favorite Mind Power tool available on the web today. This incredible program is by far the easiest way for you to accomplish any goal you desire.
The best thing about this program is that it's simple and fast! Just pick the next goal you wish to accomplish and let the guided audio do the rest. A simple 12-minute mind programming technique done every day will magically attract what you want. Through my own testing I've found that the only way this method will not work is if you stop using it. So get it, use it, and thank me later!

The reason why you have not gotten pregnant yet is because of your irregular cycles which makes it very hard when TTC. You have to go see a doc for your irregular cycles and in most cases when cycles are irregular you may not be ovulating. You have to be ovulating to get preggo. You also need to time ovulation (pin point) get a Basal Body Thermometer and start charting to see if you are ovulating. However I still recommend you see a doctor since your cycles are so irregular. They can help you get that on track as that need to be normal to aid in the TTC process! You can also try Vitex(natural remedy) since your cycles are so irregular! Google vitex when TTC or search Baby Center for old discussion.posted 03/18/2013 by a BabyCenter Member

Teaching Registers
The Economist's Prospero blog has a post on the necessity of teaching different registers of speech. It uses Portuguese as an example, which I can't speak to, not knowing the language, but the fundamental point the article makes is a good one: "Instead of a rigid right-wrong approach, with the written form always being taught as right, it would be better to teach the idea of register: that certain forms are used in casual speech, other forms in formal speech, others still in writing."
It's a good point. Students are smart, and they instinctively know how to switch registers—they do it all the time in their own speech. The only thing that needs to be done is make them aware that they do it. It's not a difficult concept.
Depicting World Languages
A neat visualization of the twenty-three most popular languages, depicted proportionally by the number of speakers.
The graphic was created by Alberto Lucas Lopéz for the South China Morning Post.
Data like this is always a bit suspect, but this chart is based on the information at Ethnologue.com, which is generally pretty good. The biggest problem is that it represents only the top twenty-three languages, leaving out the other six thousand or so. It also only captures L1, or first-language users. The total number of English speakers, for example, is much larger. It also fails to capture dialectal differences; for example Chinese is not as unified as the chart makes it out to be. Still, it's a useful visualization in many ways.
For me, the most surprising thing in the image is the realization that French has relatively few speakers. There are some 87 million additional L2 speakers, but that's still not a lot compared to the other languages on the chart. I would have guessed that it would have been much higher. Still, in the rankings of all world languages, French is in the top one percent.
Book Review: The Language Myth
Vyvyan Evans's The Language Myth is something of a polemic. In the book Evans, a professor of linguistics at Bangor University in the UK, takes on the dominant paradigm of twentieth century linguistics, the universal grammar of Noam Chomsky, especially as popularized by Steven Pinker in books like The Language Instinct. Evans's book is, to say the least, controversial, and I am not fully qualified to judge its merits. (But this being the internet, I'm going to anyway.)Read the rest of the article...
The word Luddite presents an interesting case of a word. It's a word that was used for over a century, albeit rather rarely, to refer to a specific historical series of events. Then, in the late 1950s use of the word's exploded, but with a subtle shift in its original meaning.Read the rest of the article...
A Tawdry Comic
Dinosaur Comics is one of my favorites, often riffing on linguistic issues. Today we get a double bonus: etymology and Anglo-Saxon history.
Here is the Big List entry on tawdry.
dog, hound
The short answer is that we don't know for sure where the word dog comes from. Canis may be familiarus, but its name is something of a mystery.
The word docga does go back to Old English, but it appears only three times in the extant corpus of pre-Conquest writing, once in a gloss, and three times as part of a place name. The genitive plural form docgena glosses the Latin canum, and is used twice in the description of property boundaries in a charter: doggene ford (dog's ford) and doggene berwe (dog's hill). The place name doggiþorn (dog-thorn) appears in another charter. In the twelfth century, the surname Dogheafd (Doghead) is recorded, and several other surnames that use dog as an element date to the post-Conquest era.Read the rest of the article...
Review: Curzan's The Secret Life of Words
I've been a bit leery of The Great Courses , a line of products that offers downloadable lectures by university professors. The idea combines two things that I have problems with: the whole massive open online course (MOOC) idea and paying for internet content.
MOOCs, or at least the way they've been touted as the savior of higher education, are problematic for a lot of reasons, but none of them apply to The Great Courses. One thing that MOOCs are good for is offering course content to those who simply want to learn—an open university. As to the second, I listen to a lot of audio podcasts—when I'm walking the dog or riding the subway into work. And there's a lot of great audio content that is free (that is offered at no charge by the creator; I'm not talking about pirated stuff), so paying for content seems wasteful. And to one living on a grad student's stipend, free is important. But it's not just a personal problem; The Great Courses offerings are expensive, often running $200 or more for a course.Read the rest of the article...
OxfordWords Blog: Jazz & Baseball
I've done a piece on the OxfordWords Blog on the origins of jazz and the word's connection to baseball. There is no new breakthrough or original contribution here—I'm standing on the shoulders of giants—but if you're not familiar with how jazz got its name, it should be of interest.
The word gospel has a rather straightforward etymology. It's an alteration of the Old English godspell, a compound of god (good) + spell (news, account). In Old English usage the meaning was not restricted to the four books of the Christian Bible that detail the life of Christ—although it was used in that restricted sense too—but the word could also be used to refer to the body of texts that professed Christian doctrine. And even though the word is made up entirely of Germanic roots, the word was influenced by Latin and Greek.Read the rest of the article...

Poland considers partner recognition
Timothy Kincaid
September 4th, 2012
In a bit of a surprise move, Poland's controlling centrist party, Platforma Obywatelska (Civic Platform), is backing a bill to offer limited partner recognition to same-sex couples: (gay star news)
After several months of discussion, the PO decided last week to put to the vote a draft bill in both chambers of the Polish parliament, the Sejm and Senate.
The proposed draft bill of registered civil partnership is similar the current French Pacte civil de solidarité (PACS).
The bill includes a range of benefits which currently are only granted to married heterosexual couples, including protections and responsibilities, inheritance, pension funds, notary, and medical rights. Joint tax benefits and adoption rights are not included in the bill.
Although PO had opposed previous bills, this one does not offer joint tax benefits, citizenship or adoption, and thus may avoid the members' greatest objections. Even so, the bill has opposition from within the party (and from some others).
The bill is expected to be supported by the Alliance of the Democratic Left (SLD) whose previous bill was rejected by the PO and right wing parties. The Polish People's Party (PSL) is not expected to oppose the bill.
The main opposition party, the right-wing conservative 'Law and justice' (PiS) party, is expected to strongly oppose the bill.
To pass, it would need support from at least two thirds of PO along with the smaller party and independent legislators.

Consequence appears to have taken issue with Pusha T's latest song, "My God."
Taking to his Twitter account (@itsthecons), the rapper at first vaguely asserted that he has inspired many, and that emcees "keep emulating my yesterday flows."
There was no mistaking the reference in his next Tweet, however, as Consequence referred to Pusha's new song directly by name:
'My God' I wish these CLOWNS would stop stealing my lines...
Consequence added that he expects more from certain rappers, electing not to mention anyone by name.
If thing you should know about is I tell the TRUTH... So if I bother to talk about something, it's 100 not 99 or 75 or 50 nah 100
Reportedly, the song Consequence believes was bitten is an unreleased track titled "The Last Supper."

Absentee Balloting begins for June Primary
PIERRE, S.D. -- South Dakota Secretary of State Jason Gant announced that voters can now cast absentee ballots for the 2012 primary election on June 5th.
"South Dakotans have widely embraced absentee voting as a matter of convenience," Gant said. "In the 2010 general election, we had 411 members of the military vote overseas. However, we had an additional 63,339 South Dakota voters cast their ballots through mailed and in-person absentee balloting. This comprised 19.71% of all ballots cast in the 2010 general election."
According to primary data from the 2010 primary election, 11,651 or 11.3% of voters cast absentee ballots during the last June primary. "From reports I am receiving from County Auditors across South Dakota, current absentee requests are light, but as we get closer to the election, experience shows us that the pace picks up greatly. Many people decide to cast their vote through absentee balloting as a matter of convenience to avoid lines at the polls," Gant said.
"If a person believes they may not be available to vote on election day, they can vote at their County Auditor's office or visit sdsos.gov to complete an application for an absentee ballot," Gant noted.

North Augusta, SC--I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later. When you build up a program like Dan Pippin has at North Augusta, you become a pretty hot commodity in the football ranks. Monday night Pippin says goodbye to the Yellow Jackets and hello to Greenwood where he takes over A.D. and head football coach.
Not an easy thing to do as Pippin has done wonders in North Augusta turning a team that won very few games into a legit contender in the state of South Carolina. They only won a single game his first year, but eight years later and 70 wins, yea, the program was on solid footing. Pippin told me earlier today very few programs would interest him, but Greenwood, always a state title contender, was one of them. Now, the search starts for his replacement with the Jackets.

Walden Is Better Than Zombo, Jones
Erik Walden didn't look like much of a player when the Green Bay Packers picked him up earlier this season.
The linebacker had been waived by the Miami Dolphins and when the Packers signed him, joined his third team in his fourth NFL season. Walden had a grand total of 23 tackles — all on special teams — before signing with the Packers.
Not exactly a guy you'd be comfortable with in the starting lineup, but that's exactly the position the Packers found themselves in when Frank Zombo went down with a sprained knee in the week 14 loss to Detroit.
Walden started the Packers' final three regular season games and their wild card win over Philadelphia. Surprisingly, he's played fairly well, a fact highlighted by a 12-tackle, three-sack performance in week 17 that nabbed him a defensive player of the week award.
In fact, there have been some whispers Walden is actually a better player than Zombo. He may even be better than Brad Jones, who held down the same position before going on injured reserve after week seven and thrusting Zombo into the starting lineup.
This wouldn't be the first time this season the Packers found a better player sitting on their bench after a starter got injured — Desmond Bishop has made Nick Barnett a complete afterthought at inside linebacker.
Jones started five games, Zombo eight and Walden four, including the playoff game, for the Packers, this season.
The sample data is small, but here's what it tells us. Note that we only looked at starts and not overall statistics, which would be skewed towards Jones and Zombo.
Jones had 25 tackles, no sacks and no forced fumbles in his five starts. That's an average of five tackles per game and no game-changing plays.
Zombo has 30 tackles in his eight starts, three sacks and one forced fumble, an average of 3.75 tackles and .5 game-changing plays per game.
In four starts, Walden has 23 tackles and five game-changing plays. That's 5.75 tackles and 1.25 game-changing plays per game.
Things can change at any time, of course. Walden could go out and lay an egg this weekend and shift these averages back in favor of someone else, but it's pretty clear the guy off the street has outperformed his predecessors as a starter at outside linebacker.
Monty McMahon is one of the founders of Total Packers. He is probably the most famous graduate of UW-Oshkosh next to Jim Gantner.
It will be tough sledding against the Falcons who have arguably the best offensive line in football. They even shut down Matthews last game. I have a feeling they can't do it twice though.
MM called a decent game last week, but he gets too effing conservative late in the game. I mean holy shit…everytime we get a lead in the 4th quarter, no matter the size, our offensive game plan is to not fuck up. We know…everyone knows what's coming. Run-Run-Pass-Punt. Wouldn't it be refreshing to maybe mix up your play-calling at that point? You have a QB that arguably makes better decisions than just about any QB in the league and yet you harness him and put your D on the field.
Our last two wins have ended with the defense on the field with their backs pushed up to the goal line. Although there's not a defense in the league I'd rather have defending our goal line, you have to wonder at what point is the cookie jar going to be empty.
I want to see us play with the same offensive aggression that we show when we're down by 2 scores…when we're UP 2 scores. Remember the Cards playoff game last year? Duh, of course you do. Remember the abandon and aggression we showed to storm back? We NEVER show offensive swagger (maybe the Giants game being the exception) except when we're behind.
Fucking go out there and steamroll them boys…just like the Giants game.
Walden is a better passrusher than Zombo – BUT he's a little "light in the pants" against the run. That's why he wasn't playing in the first place. He has a hard time holding his ground against the edge rushes right at him. THIS is where ATL's gameplan is going: Turner right in Walden's grill. Here's hopin he can anchor….

An old farmer lived with his wife in a small cottage a little ways away from the nearest village. They were poor, and had very little in terms of material possessions. Nevertheless, they were a religious couple, and were quite content.
One day, when returning from a day's work in the fields, the farmer came into the cottage with the intention of eating the supper his wife had surely fixed him that day, only to discover that his wife was, in fact, gone. She had been baking bread earlier that day, and a message was drawn in the flour on the table. Though uneducated and illiterate, the farmer was at once able to recognize the writing as being in the language of the Faeries. With haste, he set out for the only place he knew Faeries to live: the greenwood.
He reached the wood and wandered for hours, until he all but lost any sense of direction. After a while, the old man's stomach began to growl. He recalled with regret that, in his haste, he had neglected to bring along something to eat; but was unwilling to turn back and forsake his wife to the Faeries.
Even as he thought of how wonderful a hot meal sounded, a Faerie approached him through the trees. She smiled at the farmer and said, "Good sir, I know you must be hungry. I can promise you all the food you could ever eat, and more. You need but say the word, and it is yours." With a flick of her wrist, a large table appeared from nowhere, covered with platters and bowls and dishes of the kind eaten by kings.
But the man knew the dangers of eating Faerie food, and simply shook his head and replied, "I could never forgive myself if I stopped to eat, not knowing what has become of my dear wife."
A scowl on her face, the Faerie vanished, taking the vision of the table with her.
The old man walked on in search of his wife. As he wandered, the sky grew dark and the forest's shadows grew ever more menacing. The famer pulled a match from his pocket and struck it, and from the tiny flame sprang a second Faerie, orange as the fire. She waved her hand and conjured half a dozen glittering piles of gold, each half again as tall as the peasant, saying, "You are a poor man. You have need of money. Simply say the word, and it is yours."
But the man knew the price for such wealth would be heavy, and replied, "It is true that I have little, but with my home and my wife, I was content. In truth, a roof overhead and a kind woman's love make a poor man wealthier than a King." This said, this Faerie, too, vanished.
The farmer resumed his search, the tiny flame of the match lighting his way. When he feared the fire was about to go out, he used it to light a branch. Torch in hand, he turned to a stand of trees.
When he turned, the sight of a third Faerie startled him so badly he almost dropped the torch. She was pale as the moon, with eyes like jet. When he stared into those eyes, the farmer's vision wavered, and before him appeared a grand castle surrounded by a moat. Blue and gold flags flew from every tower and turret. He heard the Faerie's voice in his mind:
"Oft have you dreamt of being a King. I can grant you your own lands and castle. Simply say the word, and it is done."
The old man answered her, his eyes focused on the castle. "I've no knowledge of how kingdoms are run. You would be putting me in an unhappy position, indeed." No sooner had he spoken than the vision dissipated before his very eyes. And so, with the third offer having been declined, the peasant carried on in his search for his beloved.
He was beginning to grow weary as the night wore on around him, the rustling of leaves and the chirping of insects like a lullaby that would have entranced him and lulled him to sleep, were it not for the worry that something might happen to his wife gnawing at his heart. Of a sudden, through the trees ahead, he heard singing. He cautiously approached the source of the sound, surprised to discover eight beautiful maidens, dancing in a circle. Another Faerie appeared, perched on a low-hanging limb beside the old man. "Forget your wife," she crooned to him in a voice as soft as velvet. "Any or all of these women are willing to be yours, if you were but to will it so."
Enraged and indignant, the old man struck the branch, sending the Faerie tumbling to the ground. "What desire have I for other women? My wife is more dear to me than words can express, and I would never forsake her!"
At his words, the Faerie and the maidens vanished as if they had never been.
The aged peasant continued on. He was nearly beginning to lose hope when he came upon yet another Faerie, this one alone, standing in the middle of the path. Wordlessly, she produced a mirror from the folds of her dress, and handed it to the man. In her other, upturned palm she conjured a flame, bright enough to light the area around the man and allow him to see his reflection.
Instead of a wrinkled, tanned face and sparse white hair, however, the face in the mirror was a youthful one, his eyes bright, his smile white and perfect. He knew the face was his own--it had been years, but in his youth, the peasant's hair had been just that shade of brown. There was even the cowlick on the left side of his face that had been ever present in his younger years. While he was gazing with wonder at his image, the Faerie spoke.
"You could reclaim your beauty. It could be yours forever. All you have to do is will it so."
To this, the man replied, after a moment, "My youth has gone; it would not be right of me to ask for it back."
The Faerie smiled. "Then you have passed the last of the tests." She waved her hand, and beside her appeared the peasant's wife, dressed in a gown of the finest silk and bedecked with gold and jewels, though her smile was far more precious to the man than all the finery she wore. "Had you succumbed to temptation," the old woman informed him, "I would have been the price you had to pay." He took her in his arms, and they returned to their cottage, and their simple life, where they lived out the rest of their days quite happily.

I wouldn't worry too much. They've ripped on Siri in recent months as well so they're not singling anything out
Apple slaves in china were committing suicide in droves, they had to put netting up on the buildings. And people here could of cared less. Apples product are built with toxic parts, that warn people not to breathe in if products break open. Even the US Government has banned apple products being purchased for governmental use, especially for being non recyclable.
Every single thing you said was incorrect.
Foxconn is the factory, they also build the Xbox, Kindle, Wii, and even Google Glass itself.
People always forget that the Xbox workers actually threatened mass suicide.
Also, the US Government has not banned Apple products.
Oh stop it...Florescent light bulbs are toxic when dropped...Don't breath. They have lead in them...Don't turn on the lights.... Find a real person who's died or even gotten sick from any of this. The only sick people are all of us listening to YOU!

The Last of Us ranks as one of the greatest games of the last generation and was our pick for the 2013 Game of the Year. But while the solo campaign had a very definite ending, developer Naughty Dog wasn't quite done with it.
Enter The Last of Us: Left Behind, a long-awaited slice of new single-player content. Like the full game, it's being warmly embraced by critics. Arriving today, the PlayStation 3 DLC currently boasts a Metacritic average of 86, with several outlets giving the expansion a perfect score.
"With excellent characters, emotionally charged storytelling and tense action set-pieces, deciding whether or not to revisit Naughty Dog's stunning game world really is a no-brainer," says Digital Spy, which gave the game a perfect 100.
Left Behind focuses on the period before Ellie, the 14-year-old co-star of the original game, meets partner Joel. She and a friend, Riley, head out on an adventure in a city filled with the infected.
While The Last of Us slowly built the relationship between Joel and Ellie, the add-on, which is much shorter (averaging around 2 hours), doesn't have that option. That creates some storytelling difficulties, but critics say the game makers manage to pull it off.
"Ellie and Riley aren't easy stereotypes," notes Polygon's Phil Kollar in an 8/10 review. "They shift between light-hearted banter, tense drama and nearly breaking down under the weight of the post-apocalyptic world they live in. They talk about music, friends and romantic interests, but they also spend a lot of time trying to figure out where they belong in a world torn apart by disease and death. The conclusions they reach are surprising, touching and sad."
GameSpot agrees.
"I cherished those scenes with Riley and Ellie," writes critic Tom McShea. "When they happen upon a photo booth, they make faces and shriek giddily when their silly mugs are captured. But they can't print out the pictures. And that goes along with the major theme of Left Behind. We see a brief, happy snapshot from Ellie's life with Riley, but we can't take it with us. Her childhood has to come to an end at some point." He awards it a 9/10.
Many critics were concerned that the addition of more story would take away from the original game's ending. Happily, though, that's not the case.
"Instead of blunting the impact as I feared, Riley and Ellie's story adds resonance to the original game's ending," says Game Informer's Matt Helgeson, who rates it an 8.75/10. "For The Last of Us fans, this is a ride well worth taking."

A few months ago, one of my account reps called me and asked to help him with a personal problem. I was thinking horrible thoughts, but he laughed and said, "I let my kid play with my iPad and he bought a $50 app, is there any way to get my money back?" I told him to call Apple directly. He eventually did receive a refund, but he had to call a few times and work his way up the chain.
My colleague got off easy – a father in Florida reported that his 7-year-old downloaded the free "Tap Fish" game only to be charged over $600 in upgrades. Eventually the man was refunded $450. Apple actually refused to allow in-game purchases (to avoid stories like this) but reversed that decision in 2009 (note: there is an i-device setting that turns off in-game purchasing).
So it comes as no surprise to learn that Apple has agreed to pay a settlement for a class action lawsuit. Several parents claim their children erroneously purchased apps or upgrades in games. The court filing claims that up to 23 million customers were impacted. The proposed settlement could have Apple paying $5 in iTunes credits to customers who purchased items less than $30. Those who spent $30 could potentially receive a cash refund if they have proof.
With a $100 million settlement staring Apple in the face, I have to wonder what changes will take place in the iTunes checkout process. I also have to wonder if Apple's competitors are also prone to class action lawsuits. It is extremely easy to purchase items on a Kindle and in the Android ecosystem. How will this lawsuit impact your ability to buy the next "Plants vs. Zombies"?
Have you let your child play with your smart phone or tablet only to find a bill waiting for you?

OKay, I had my last period April 29. Then on the 12th i had unprotected sex. Around a week later I went to the doctor and they gave me a urine test..which doesnt make sence to me at all because I`m pretty sure hcg wouldn`t be detectable yet? But anyway it came up negative..and then they made me another appointment on the 31st and they`re going to give me another urine test...Do you think I could be pregnant? Oh and also I got this rash on my right breast kind of in between them and it`s like purple dots...what could that be?

Not sure about the breast rash, ask your doctor. Yes, you're right it was too soon for a test. You could've ovulated around the time of sex and could very well get pregnant. Unfortunately you will have to wait.posted 05/23/2011 by praktclmagik
