Angelina Jolie's
former bodyguard,
Mickey Brett
, is shopping a tell-all book to various publishers. Mickey worked for Angelina for several years, and he supposedly never signed a confidentiality agreement. As such, he's got a lot to say, and he's not afraid to say it. For instance, he claims that Angelina cheated on
Brad Pitt
with a, "famous female pop star". Of course, the identity of this female pop star has not been revealed. But Mickey claims he, "set up at least 20 secret meetings for Angie with this woman at hotels when Brad was working." There also may have been at least one other man in Angelina's life after she hooked up with Brad. Speaking of hooking up with Brad, Mickey claims that Angelina definitely did that while Brad was still with
Jennifer Aniston
. Mickey says he walked in on Brad and Angelina in a trailer on the set of
"Mr. & Mrs. Smith"
just three weeks into filming. In other words, Brad and Angelina didn't slowly and gradually fall in love at the same time that Brad's marriage to Jennifer was, coincidentally, slowly and gradually ending. Shocking, I know. As for Angelina's seduction of Brad, Mickey says it included, "sex toys, paddles and whips and dressing up in latex." Not everything between Brad and Angelina was perfect, though. Mickey says Angelina would confide in him that she hated Brad's ignorance, "She can't stand how little he knows about many subjects." Angelina and Mickey also laughed behind Brad's back when he died his hair blonde and got a tattoo to impress her. Angelina and her attorneys are already exploring their legal options as you can imagine.
Gerald McCullouch
, who plays ballistics expert Bobby Dawson on
fought off a knife-wielding mugger on the New York City subway recently. It happened at about 2 in the morning. McCullouch had just gotten off a plane from L.A., and was working on his laptop. As his train pulled into a stop and the doors started opening, some punk ran up and tried to grab the laptop and bolt. McCullouch says, "I gave him a body shot to the chest. Well, that's when he pulled a kitchen knife out of a black plastic bag. This thing must have had a blade 10 inches long. The other passengers started running out the door and into the next car. I still had my headphones on with music blaring. I yelled at the top of my lungs, 'Get the [bleep] away from me!' That's when the knife came down into my back. I don't know whether he lost his grip or what, but the blade didn't penetrate my leather jacket. We were in each other's face. I think I punched him again as the doors closed and the train started leaving the station. I'm watching MTA workers on the platform looking in. I thought, 'Great, now I'm alone in this car with him.'" The train started to leave the station again, but stopped abruptly, because some other passengers had alerted the conductor to what was happening. The doors opened and several police officers rushed in and took the suspect down.
Lil Wayne
has unveiled the name and release date for his upcoming rock album. It'll be called
and it's scheduled to drop on April 7th. Wayne will premiere the new single, a track called
"Prom Queen"
, during a live stream of his show in San Diego tomorrow night. It'll be hosted on MySpace.com. "Rebirth" will drop less than a year after his last release,
"Tha Carter 3"
, which came out last June. By the way, contrary to some reports "Rebirth" will not have anything to do with Wayne's "Tha Carter" series. Here are all the winners from the

There is nothing quite as hot as the precious metals market in the turbid climate of today's economy. Gold, silver and platinum, among others, are still performing extremely well. With the prices of precious metals at hundreds or even thousands of dollars per ounce, breaking into the metals market may seem like a rich man's game. That is not the case, though; anyone can get into precious metals with the right strategy. There are a few ways to own metals and choosing the right one for you can be difficult.
Entering the Market
The most common way to enter the precious metals market is to buy metal bars or bullion; most buy gold and platinum in their purest form. The value of metals is assessed by weight. You should expect to pay the cost of the metal and an additional premium charge to cover manufacturing costs, plus any insurance you take out on the metals. The bigger the bars you buy, the lower the premium. Make sure you have prepared a safe or other safe way to store your metals. If you don't want to store your metals at home, you can get a special safety deposit box at the bank.
Physically Own
Another way to physically own your metals is to buy coins or sovereigns that were manufactured in small quantities to commemorate special occasions in history. Coins are collector's items and can be a great investment depending on the coin's design and condition. Silver coins are often the most sought after. Coins are not to be used for daily transactions as their value is often much higher than that of the actual metal in the coin. If you are a collector, this is the way to go. As with any collectable, have the item you wish to be appraised by multiple independent sources before you make a purchase.
Other Options
Don't want to physically own your metals? You have a few options. Gold certificates allow you to purchase a precious metal without actually holding it, and are popular in German and Swiss banks. The certificate states the name of the holder and the quantity of gold held. When you want to exchange your certificates for currency, you can have the bank do so in part or in full. Certificates can be more secure and just as liquid as actual gold in a stable financial environment.
Another option is to buy individual shares of mining companies, or other companies that deal with precious metals. Investing in companies, and not the metal itself, is riskier as this side of the market does not have the stability that the physical market does..
Exchange traded funds are another option for those who wish to break into the metals market. These funds are based on a single security, i.e. the metal you are buying, and their value on is directly proportional to its daily trading rate. The downside? You aren't directly buying the metal, just trading based on the current going price. While this offers liquidity, it does not offer stability like a physical bar of metal, or even a metals certificate does.
A more risky way of trading in the precious metals market is dabbling in futures, but this is very risky and only for advanced traders. With this risk, however, comes the potential for far greater return. With futures, you agree to buy the metal at a price you choose at a specified time in the future. You are basically buying the metals for what you think they will be worth in the future. If the price you forecasted is lower than the current market rate, you've made an instant profit. If not, you've lost the difference.
To profit from the precious metals market, you must choose the style that best suits your needs, keeping your desired liquidity and security mind. Your best bet is always to create a diversified portfolio that balances risk and returns.

Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards says a wave of mergers in the oil industry should be investigated to see what impact they've had on soaring gasoline prices.
The former North Carolina senator is suggesting a Justice Department investigation during a campaign swing in California.
Edwards' campaign provided an outline of his energy plan to The Associated Press. Edwards plans to complain today about the oil industry and what he calls "anticompetitive actions."
The campaign stop in Silicon Valley is also expected to include a plan to reduce oil imports and make the nation almost petroleum-free within a generation.
The plan cites Exxon Mobil as a company that owns every step in the production process, allowing them to foreclose competition.

Pitt County Sheriff Neil Elks has some words of advice for parents as their kids are getting set for summer vacation. Keep tabs on them to keep them from getting into trouble.
Sheriff Elks' comments came after several car break-ins recently- the latest Wednesday night just off of Highway 43 near Manning Road and Ivy Road. He says the previous break-ins were mostly done by teenagers. Elks says the rate of these crimes could go up once school lets out in a few weeks, and he blames their parents.
"Responsibility of knowing where your kids are, being responsible, setting curfews, knowing where your children are. Do them a favor. Make them come home instead of letting them be out in the streets committing crimes," said Elks.
Sheriff Elks says the easiest way to prevent your car from being broken into, is to simply lock your door.

New Skylanders Spyro's Adventure Character Vignette – Drill Sergeant
Skylanders Spyro's Adventure will allow players to expand their character roster by purchasing additional action figures. It sounds kind of gimmicky but also kind of fun. There's a versus mode so you can level up an action figure, bring it to your friend's house and then battle them. I know at least one Gamefront writer who's excited about the prospect. This vignette showcases Drill Sergeant, a badass drilling robot that looks capable of dealing out some serious damage.

So you've decided to sell the family truckster yourself. Here are some tips I found from
that I'm sure will help you garner top dollar!
-Chris Malone
Fix scratches and scuffs
First appearances matter. Help prospective buyers fall in love with your car by fixing up any minor scratches and scuffs that detract from the overall appearance.
Make it shine
Of course you're going to toss the fast food wrappers and wipe out those sticky cup holders, but if you really want to sell your used car right away, you're going to have to go a little further. Make your car sparkle inside and out by getting it detailed by a pro – or skip the expense and go the DIY route.
Have your vehicle inspected
Be prepared to address any questions about the reliability of your vehicle by taking the car in to a repair shop before listing it on sale. While you're at it, AAA recommends requesting a detailed report that can be shared with prospective buyers.
Price it right
You probably have an idea of what you'd like to get for your car, but the only way to know you're pricing it right is to do the research. Look online for comparable vehicles and use online resources like the
Edmunds.com appraisal tool
Spread the word
Take advantage of social media by using Facebook and Twitter to let friends and family know you're selling your vehicle. Expand your reach by listing your car on Craigslist, eBay Autos, Cars.com and AutoTrader.com.
Use caution when showing the vehicle
Be safe and meet potential buyers at a public location instead of your home. If you choose to show your car at home, make sure you have someone else with you. It never hurts to do an online search of the person interested in your vehicle before scheduling a showing. You might be surprised at how much information you can learn from a simple Google search. If you're not comfortable with what you see or your search comes up blank, you may want to wait.
Complete the transaction
Congratulations – you've found a buyer. Now what? AAA recommends writing up a bill of sale for both you and the buyer to sign and have it notarized. Notaries can be found at a bank or any AAA office. Just make sure you collect your certified check, cash or money order before signing over the vehicle. Avoid being scammed by completing the sale at a bank so you can verify payment.

New book "The Art of Ixia" to memoralize the late restaurant/lounge
Ixia may be gone, but its memory lives on -- in the glossy pages of a new book.
Called "The Art of Ixia," the limited edition, 150-page coffee table book memorializes the late Mount Vernon restaurant, which closed last June.
It has photos of the interior, food and cocktails, as well as quotes from the chef and recipes.
Why now? ...
"We wanted to generate something so when people visited Ixia and enjoyed it, they could have a memory of Ixia in all its glory," said Danielle McPherson, who is handling the purchasing of the books.
"The Art of Ixia" is a limited edition affair, with only 500 copies printed. It costs $40 per book, plus tax. To order a copy, call McPherson at 410-889-4444 x2.

Introduction to the 2011 National Report
Data provided by United States clinics that use assisted reproductive technology (ART) to treat infertility are a rich source of information about the factors that contribute to a successful ART treatment—the delivery of a healthy live-born infant. Pooling the data from all reporting clinics provides an overall national picture that could not be obtained by examining data from an individual clinic.
A woman's chances of having a pregnancy and a live birth when using ART are influenced by many factors, some of which are patient-related and outside a clinic's control (e.g., the woman's age, the cause of infertility). Because the national data set includes information on many of these factors, it can give potential ART users an idea of the average chances of success. Average chances, however, do not necessarily apply to a particular individual or couple. People considering ART should consult their physician to discuss all the factors that apply in their particular case.
The data for this national report come from the 451 fertility clinics in operation in 2011 that provided and verified data on the outcomes of all ART cycles started in their clinics. The 151,923 ART cycles performed at these reporting clinics in 2011 resulted in 47,818 live births (deliveries of one or more living infants) and 61,610 infants. The 2011 National Summary table combines data from all clinics included in the 2011 Assisted Reproductive Technology Fertility Clinic Success Rates Report (hereafter called the 2011 Fertility Clinic Success Rates Report). Read the explanation of how to read this table, of the 2011 Fertility Clinic Success Rates Report.
The national report consists of graphs and charts that use 2011 data to answer specific questions related to ART success rates. These figures are organized according to the type of ART procedure used. Some ART procedures use a woman's own eggs, and others use donated eggs or embryos. (Although sperm used to create an embryo also may be either from a woman's partner or from a sperm donor, information in this report is presented according to the source of the egg.) In some procedures, the embryos that develop are transferred back to the woman (fresh embryo transfer); in others, the embryos are frozen (cryopreserved) for transfer at a later date. This report includes data on embryos that might have been frozen in previous years, but were thawed and transferred in 2011.
The national report has five sections:
- Section 1 (Figures 1 through 5) presents information from all ART procedures reported.
- Section 2 (Figures 6 through 34) presents information on the ART cycles that used only fresh nondonor eggs or embryos from nondonor eggs or, in a few cases, a mixture of fresh and frozen embryos from nondonor eggs (101,213 cycles resulting in 82,565 transfers). Section 2 is broken into 3 sections—

Topic: Kongregate / New Downloadable Game - Bomb Buddies
Takes too long to install, compromises security (EXE file, external login), this is not why one goes to Kong. You are trying to compete with AAA games here, you have no chance. Now if you are going to have AAA titles with background streaming custom made for your site, then maybe… yeah, tough luck. And yep, I can choose to skip those games… the same I can choose to skip your site, so there.

I hear a familiar phrase with increasing frequency, "Well, we will have to wait and see what happens in Orlando." We cannot minimize the concerns for this church and the decisions voting members will make at the Churchwide Assembly. But if you could look in, here is what I believe you will see.
You will see voting members, staff and visitors gather daily for worship. The proclamation of the gospel through the means of grace forgives, frees and unites us in Christ for lives of faith, witness and service. Centered in worship we will receive and tend to God's gifts.
You will hear voting members engage in the five-year participatory process of Renewing Worship. They will receive and act on the recommendation that we proceed with a new primary book of worship and a whole family of resources.

Filed by Coeur dAlene Mines Corporation
Pursuant to Rule 425 under the Securities Act of 1933
Subject Company: Coeur dAlene Mines Corporation
Commission File No.:001-08641
The following is the English language version of a letter sent to employees of Coeur dAlene Mines Corporation on February 20, 2013.
20 February 2013
Dear Employees:
As you know, on February 13, 2013 we announced that Coeur had made a binding proposal to acquire Orko Silver Corp. Today, I am pleased to announce that we are moving forward with this acquisition and have announced that Coeur and Orko have entered into a definitive agreement. Attached is a copy of our press release.
As I have mentioned before, La Preciosa is a large scale development opportunity with significant exploration upside. La Preciosa will improve our geographical diversification and will be a great addition to our existing portfolio. We are confident that our talented team can develop La Preciosa into one of the worlds leading silver mines.
In terms of next steps, no further corporate or shareholder approvals are required by Coeur and we have no financing conditions. The transaction will be subject to customary closing conditions and requires an Orko shareholder vote. We believe the transaction will close in April of 2013.
We will make every effort to keep you informed as we work through the process of completing the acquisition of Orko.
Todays announcement may result in interest from the media and other third parties. I would like to remind you that it is important that we speak with one voice. Should you receive any questions from members of the media or others outside the Company, please forward these inquiries to Stefany Bales via firstname.lastname@example.com or at (208) 667-8263.
As always, thank you for your hard work and dedication to Coeur.

I have this circuit:
This is the small signal circuit.
I know how to find the Voltage Gain using the traditional way. The question is, how do you solve this circuit (The voltage gain) using Resistance Reflection Rule, ruling out the middle current source. You, however, can find R_out easily using Resistance Reflection Rule, however, is it possible to find the voltage gain using this technique?
I already know how to solve it using the traditional way (the way which you would need that voltage out is the current of beta I_B +I_B, and so on.
Also a note: It is also possible to solve the current gain using the resistance reflection rule easily.

Since 2007 we have been offering our clients an improved and more effective way for selecting their strategic and creative advertising agencies. The Strategic Workshop approach has provided agencies and our clients with a methodology for really being able to assess each other and evaluate more effectively how well they would work together.
Unlike the traditional creative pitch approach or as some call it the "creative beauty parade" where you only get to see the outcome to the brief you provided, our strategic workshop approach really lets you test drive the agency before you make a choice.
The strategic workshop approach differs from the typical creative brief in that when a shortlist of agencies is decided, instead of providing a creative brief for the agency to develop recommendations, we provide the agencies with a strategic problem / opportunity and then undertake a full strategy planning day with each agency. During the strategy workshop the marketing team work with the agency using the agencies own strategic planning process to develop a solution.
The benefits of the Strategy Workshops are:
Both marketers and the agencies that have used the Strategy Workshop process report better and more sustainable outcomes. Even the agencies that are unsuccessful find the process more open and transparent.
How does this compare with the agency search and selection processes you have used? Let me know with your comment here.

Lincoln women hire new assistant
Monday, July 23, 2012
It took a little while, but Nicole Collier finally has someone to sit next to her on the bench.
Collier, the new women's basketball coach at Lincoln University, moved up from assistant to take over the head job May 21. The two-month search for her replacement ended Tuesday when Collier announced Kiel Unruh would be the Blue Tigers' assistant coach.
Unruh brings some Division I experience to the Division II program, as he spent last season as the video coordinator for Stephen F. Austin, a member of the Southland Conference. There, Unruh handled the editing and breakdown of both the Ladyjacks' opponents and the Ladyjacks' practice film.

In 1825, Mgr Jean-Jacques Lartigue (1777-1840), the first Bishop of Montreal, was writing in his multiple correspondence that the library collection of the Seminary of Saint-Hyacinthe was composed of 450 titles. At this time, it was good in regard of the means available.
In 1866, it was reported that the Seminary, has received the legacy of the abbot Jean Olivier Chèvrefils (1790-1833) that was containing ; 729 books, 14 maps et 65 engravings. This legacy represented at that time, one of the largest private library owned in Lower Canada.
In 1878, a letter from the Father Superior of this epoch reports that the library was situated in the room in front of his own bedroom. The library was remodeled during some constructions projects. Its room was enlarged by destroying many rooms used by the Father Bursar, the Father Assistant Director, the maids, and the kitchen's staircase. The only architectural details described by Mgr Choquette, was about the ceiling's ornaments installed in 1901.
In 1911, during the Seminary's centenary feasts, the Fathers anounced that they will build a new library. They will have to destroy the physics room, the chemistry laboratory and the museums rooms. Meanwhile, to maintain library services to the students, they create smalls libraries of few shelves containing some hundreds books in each Rhetoric and Belles-Lettres classrooms.
In 1927, they decide to erect a new library on the site where it is actually standing.

An unverified video uploaded Thursday by Syrian activists appears to show an explosion many stories high in the war-torn Syrian city of Homs. It's difficult to tell for sure how high the explosion is, but it dwarfs an apartment complex in the foreground that is at least seven stories.
The footage, embedded just below, captures a fireball fulminating over several long seconds before darkening into a large, mushroom-shaped cloud. A secondary explosion, small only compared to the initial blast, is also visible.
The explosion was also reported by the London-based anti-Assad group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which told the BBC that the blast was the result of rebel rocket strikes on a weapons depot. The incident, they said, caused 40 deaths.
The explosion has been discussed heavily by social media users within Syria. Speculation, it's not clear how informed, made before the Syrian Observatory announcement had turned on the theory that the blast was the result of a rocket attack or other sort of explosion against an arms depot. It's not clear whether the Syrian Observatory report is independent of or based on social media discussion.
The past month has seen extremely heavy fighting in Homs, which in 2011 was the site of some of the Assad regime's most brutal crackdowns on civilian protesters. Syrian military forces have been fighting since early July to retake Homs and had recaptured a key district Monday, the BBC reports.

Technology has helped reduce the size of most helpful tools, including video cameras. Now, some local doctors are taking the camera experience to a new level, thanks to wireless technology.
Doctors rely on the latest technology to make the right diagnosis. Until recently though, doctors couldn't see what was going wrong in the small intestines of patients.
That's all changed at South Georgia Medical Center, where doctors now have access to an amazing little device, which is fitted with a camera and a tiny transmitter.
Dr. Eric Ward says, "It's very helpful for very specific, well-defined problems. Specifically gastro-intestinal bleeding of an unknown source and it some cases, patients with disease can be diagnosed this way."
Despite its advanced technology, the little pill works very simply to find the problem areas.
"The patient comes in in the morning, they swallow the capsule, it contains a camera, a light source, a battery and a radio transmitter and the patient also wears a receiver device on their belt."
Doctors say they are thrilled with the new advancement, because of the improved quality of information this system provides, but another important feature how easy it is for the patient to go through.
"The patient is not aware the capsule is there, there is no radiation, there is no risk of complications."
Doctors say the success rate of this tiny camera system has been great, giving them views they've never seen before and helping them better prescribe the right treatment, which helps save lives.
Doctors say this procedure does not replace other methods of tumor detection, but it simply enhances established techniques.

Wow and Ithought my 26 rt commute was long.... I'm a beginner compaired to you guys. I need to find a longer route to work
Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm always cutting it to the last second in the mornings. Summer months I'm lucky to have a lovely forest loop I can add an extra five miles on my way home.
Sometimes I do in the mornings too... but this darn waking up early in the morning lark!
I've only done it a few times, but my commute is 22 miles one way. New road construction has shortened it to 18.5, but I've yet to bike it in this year.
too much for me. I have a 22miles 1-way that I just can't seem to do during the week. I was spoiled by years of 13 miles 1-way sprints
cycling is like baseball ~ it doesn't take much to make it interesting

Love Actually 2 fake trailer is the best thing of the day
How would the romantic stories continue? Would Liam Neeson be hunting someone down?
Share via Email
We'll probably never see a sequel to Love Actually , the seasonal movie with so many stars and so many heart breaks. You've already watched it once or five times on TV this month and wondered what would happen to the characters. Would it look something like this? (Warning: mild swears).
Thanks you, Official Comedy .

BHW's Cheapest Social Bookmarking Service! Over 1000 Unique Domains on Over 900 Unique IPs!Reports with the actual bookmark URLs, not URLs of the profile page!
How about LinkLicious.me Pro integration? We have it!
Package includes:
- Submission to 1000+ social bookmarking sites.
- Highly randomized account usernames for less footprint
- Highly spun description for less footprint
- Your report will contain 1000+ links to the actual BOOKMARKS, not accounts like every other bulk social bookmarking service.
- Over 900 Unique IPs
What is Linklicious.me Pro?
It's a service that automatically guarantees a 100% crawl rate on your social bookmarking links. What will happen is that each and every social bookmark link will be individually pinged, and then put into an RSS with other bookmark links. Then, the RSS with previously pinged bookmark links will be pinged. If any link or feed is not crawled, the link with be automatically pinged until it is crawled by Google.
Price: $55
Linklicious.me Pro integration (optional): $10
Want us to write your descriptions and spin it? (optional): $10
Turnaround time: 5-7 Days
What is the PR of these sites?
Ranging from 8 to 0 and N/A. Currently about 350 domains have at least PR1. But do not underestimate the value of quantity and IP & domain diversity from the lower PR domains.

Mostly pligg/phpdug/scuttle, but also the few good ones, such as digg, stumbleupon, reddit, A1 webmarks, etc. A good mixture of ******** and nofollow. This isn't a 100% ******** submission, not that it matters anyway.
How is this different from other social bookmarking services?
If you own a copy of Scrapebox, Rumer or subscribe to DFB, BB, BLG, etc, you'll love this. Your report will contain URLs to the actual bookmark that contains ONLY the link to your website. This is perfect if you want to backlink these bookmarks for even more link juice.
To illustrate, it's the difference between getting a report full of links like this: http://www.soforce.com/user.php?logi...e&view=history
Instead, links in your report will look like this: http://www.soforce.com/Internet/hello-bhw/
Bonus secret sauce to sweeten the pot
I'm blasting my accounts daily with DFB & blog comments so they have a much better chance of getting crawled regularly and indexed.
Non-English friendly?
For the most part, but some sites delete non-english submissions so the total number of live links might be a bit lower.
Review copy plz?
We will have 2 available to Jr. VIPs and higher.
Do you accept gambling, porn, or pharmacy?
Yes! But, do be aware that not all sites allow these types of bookmarks. If your niche is any of the above, you can expect about 800 bookmarks instead of the usual 1000.
Also do note that if you have submitted URLs to these bookmarking services before, some sites will not allow duplicate URLs. If you have submitted these URLs before, please send us a variation of the URLs:
If you would like to get in contact with me, you can PM me or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com

Rizzo the Rat
this wiki
Rizzo the Rat is a rat who has a tendency to crack mocking jokes at others or make fun of them. Sometimes, as seen in The Muppets Take Manhattan, he tries to cheat people into getting something he wants. However, he also has a sensitive side (according to Tim Hill and Gonzo during an audio commentary for Muppets from Space) and is good friends with a couple of characters. He was created by Steve Whitmire after he took a fascination to a bunch of old rat puppets made from bottles by Don Sahlin for The Muppet Musicians of Bremen. Whitmire made costumes for Rizzo, and the Muppet Show Fan Club newsletter (vol. 2, no. 4, 1980) claimed that "It is Rizzo's greatest ambition to wear a different costume every time he appears in a shot! Watch out for this well-dressed rodent -- he has every intention of succeeding. Rat on, Rizzo!"
Rizzo first appeared in episode 418 of The Muppet Show, as one of a group of rats following Christopher Reeve around backstage.[1] He can be seen mugging and reacting to practically every line of dialogue. His first known mention by name on-screen was by Kermit in episode 422. He remained a scene-stealing background figure through the final season, occasionally performing with Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem.
He had a minor role in The Great Muppet Caper and a larger supporting part in The Muppets Take Manhattan, but his "big break" occurred when Jerry Juhl paired him with Gonzo to narrate The Muppet Christmas Carol. He has since become one of the principal Muppet characters, also starring in Muppet Treasure Island, Muppets from Space, Muppets Tonight, and The Muppets' Wizard of Oz (appearing in the latter as the Mayor of Munchkinland).
Since The Muppet Christmas Carol, Rizzo and Gonzo have been best pals. However, that wasn't their first pairing together. They had previously interracted in The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson, and appeared in a sketch together on Good Morning America, broadcast March 10, 1992. Rizzo and Pepe the King Prawn also seem to have a strong friendship in Muppets from Space. Although Rizzo has no lines in the newest film, The Muppets, he and Gonzo were interviewed together behind the scenes. In an interview, Nick Stoller explained that they tried to include as many characters as possible, but couldn't find a spot for him (or Bean Bunny) in the movie.[2]
In the 1999 book Muppets from Space: The Making of Muppet Movie Magic, Whitmire said:
|[Playing Rizzo] was tough at first. I was much more inhibited about the performance because I wasn't sure who he was or what I should do with him. Plus, they wanted him to be a sarcastic sort of New York character. I'm from Atlanta, you know? I mean, I didn't know anything about a sarcastic New York character, so I sort of had to grow into him.
Rizzo is named after Ratso Rizzo, a character from Midnight Cowboy portrayed by Dustin Hoffman. This name was suggested by Frank Oz. [3]

Derrick Ubbink
Cooling, Reviews 6
This is one cooler that I would say anyone should be able to install. It is a clever design and works great, let's get started.
First thing you're going to want to do is install the long screws in the correct holes in the universal backplate. As is typical, 1155 is in the middle.
Push the screws through the holes in the back of your motherboard. Standing upright the screws are long enough to hold the backplate on if you're careful.
Next step is to put the plastic spacers on the screws. Note that there is a rubber side and a side with a notch in it. It's not noted anywhere on the instructions, but common sense says to put the rubber side down on the motherboard protect it. Once installed the spacers will hold the backplate in place allowing you to lay your motherboard down without it falling out.
Now take the slightly curved metal "Intel Clips" and place them on the ends of the backplate screws making sure to use the same hole for each. Orient them in whatever direction you would like your air to flow.
There are four thumb nuts included. Take these and secure the whole assembly together.
The entire pre assembly is now together. You will want to remove the fan at this point. Do so by prying back on side of the clips slightly until it releases. It's not super easy on this cooler, and if you can't get it with your fingers you can use a flathead screwdriver and gently do the same. Take care though not to damage the fins on the heatsink if you use a screwdriver.
Go ahead and apply the thermal grease provided. I applied both a small amount to the CPU lid directly as well as to the entire base of the heat sink. I then used a piece of flexible plastic I had handy to spread the paste into the grooves of the pipes in the heatsink. After you have the thermal grease on place the crossbar through the space between the pipes on the top of the base. Line the crossbar up with the mounting screws and firmly press the heatsink onto the CPU.
There should only be two screws left at this point, they are the crossbar screws. Set them into place and attach them using a Phillips or flathead screwdriver.
Reattach the fan and plug it into the CPU_FAN header.
As you can see the process is the same for both coolers as they both use the same mounting hardware. The only real difference is that the T40 is slightly larger. Now that we've got our coolers installed let's see if they will hold up to the image of performance NZXT would like us to believe in.

May 5, 2016
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. -- A third person who fell ill at a sweat lodge at an Arizona self-help retreat has died.
A sheriff's spokesman says 49-year-old Liz Neuman of Minnesota died yesterday, more than a week after she'd been overcome in the crowded lodge.
She had been taken to a hospital Oct. 8 with damage to multiple organs.
More than 50 people has been inside the lodge at a resort run by self-help guru James Arthur Ray.
Twenty-one people were taken to hospitals with illnesses ranging from dehydration to kidney failure.
Two people died upon arrival at the hospital. No one else remains hospitalized.
Authorities in Arizona are treating all three deaths as homicides, but no charges have been filed.
Investigators are trying to determine if criminal negligence played a role in the deaths or illnesses.

I'm a Freshman. What's the One Book I Must Read?
Slate staffers recommend the perfect reading material for the college-bound.
The Federalist Papers by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay
Recommended by Emma Roller, editorial assistant
My Intro to Political Science professor freshman year was a very natty dresser, and he scared the crap out of me. Unlike the feel-good, no-wrong-answer vibe the other professors at my liberal arts school gave off, this one adhered to a strict Socratic method: If you were wrong, he would shoot. You. Down. Then again, if your answer was too smart, he'd tell you to "go out and play on I-80." Needless to say, I spent the entire hour motionless, praying he wouldn't call on me to explain the intent of the authors in The Federalist Papers. But The Federalist Papers, for their part, turned this would-be jaded English major into an equally jaded poli sci major. If you don't have time for the whole thing, just read Federalist No. 10—it'll take you half an hour, tops—in which James Madison writes that the role of government is to find the fulcrum between upholding personal liberties and preventing humans' factious nature from turning us violently against one another: "Liberty is to faction what air is to fire, an aliment without which it instantly expires. But it could not be less folly to abolish liberty, which is essential to political life, because it nourishes faction, than it would be to wish the annihilation of air, which is essential to animal life, because it imparts to fire its destructive agency." Oh, go out and play on I-80.
Dubliners by James Joyce
Recommended by Seth Stevenson, contributor
The fall of my freshman year of college, a dormmate's father came for a visit and decided to chat a little with his son's friends. He asked me what my favorite piece of writing was. I answered James Joyce's "The Dead," from the 1914 short story collection Dubliners. The man's smile dropped, and he turned gravely serious. "You're too young to read 'The Dead,' " he warned me, brow knitted in genuine concern. I take his point. It is a heaping serving of despair—perhaps more than a college frosh needs. Yet I still feel that every incipient adult could benefit from an evening spent at the Morkan sisters' annual dinner and dance. Joyce eerily evokes the emotional distance that can haunt relationships, the melancholy of recalling a long-ago love, the deep sadness that floats in on snowflakes. (Oh, by the way, it's the best-written prose in the history of the English language.)
White: Essays on Race and Culture by Richard Dyer
Recommended by Aisha Harris, Brow Beat assistant
I didn't read Richard Dyer's White until graduate school, but I definitely would have benefited from reading it sooner. It's an insightful read that poses the oft-ignored subject of "what it means to be white." In it, the English scholar traces the concept of whiteness through an utterly amazing scope of entry points including Christianity, photography, muscle-men in movies, and death. And with such an array of subject matter, pretty much any college freshman—especially one majoring in the humanities—is certain to gain an important understanding of Western culture that will be useful to them in the long run.
Let's Talk About Love: A Journey to the End of Taste by Carl Wilson
Recommended by J. Bryan Lowder, editorial assistant
If a quality education in the liberal arts should begin with a novice trekking through the endless epithets of The Iliad, it should end with a graduate capable of the kind of erudite, useful, and engaging critical thinking on display in Slate music critic Carl Wilson's delightful study of Celine Dion, Let's Talk About Love. So why not present the goal at the outset? If more of our college students emerged from the experience with the mix of curiosity, critical empathy, and intellectual capaciousness on display in this little book, our society may well hope, as Dion so bewitchingly puts it, to "go on."
The Book of Ecclesiastes
Recommended by Ryan Vogt, copy editor
The foundation of the Western canon is probably the last book most college freshmen are reaching for, given its association with religion, but there's at least one of the King James Bible's 66 sections that young scholars should set aside some time for between all the hookups. Rich with metaphor—including, of course, Byrds lyrics—and written by an impossibly wise author—some say God—the book drives home a lesson you might not find in class: that we will all be gone someday and completely forgotten. A deeply humbling, perversely thrilling funeral for the entire world, Ecclesiastes was carpe diem way before Robin Williams—and, heck, even before Horace. Let us not take our lives for granted, the author tells us, for we're here by the whims of time and chance, and we all in the end go to our "long home." Till then, freshmen, "let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth."
Nickel and Dimed: On Not Getting By in America by Barbara Ehrenreich
Recommended by Katherine Goldstein, innovations editor
Journalist Ehrenreich gives a detailed and moving first-person account of her experience of working a number of minimum-wage jobs and eloquently describes the challenges of making ends meet as a cleaning woman, a Wal-Mart sales clerk, and a waitress among other professions. At 18, I was certainly aware that economic inequality existed and that I'd been brought up with many privileges and advantages, but this book gave me concrete and meaningful insight into how economically unfair America is. It inspired a tremendous sense of empathy in me, which is a good sentiment to take with you to college.
Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer
Recommended by L.V. Anderson, assistant editor
According to painstakingly collected anecdotal evidence, everyone will either become a vegetarian, take a break from being a vegetarian, date a vegetarian, and/or attempt to come up with a convoluted philosophical argument against vegetarianism while in college. You may as well get a head start to figure out which camp(s) you'll fall into. And Foer's book is surprisingly readable and nonannoying—his humane, accessible treatment of the topic will serve as a gentle primer on the moral and cultural stakes of eating meat (or not).
Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf
Recommended by Julia Turner, deputy editor
To be honest, I don't think reading any book would be as useful as following this piece of advice: Go have a job for two years and then go to college. There are many students who would appreciate a college education much more if they didn't take studenthood for granted as the default setting of youth and the university campus its default environment. In lieu of that, students should maybe read Mrs. Dalloway? Virginia Woolf's book about a society hostess preparing for a party is really a book about looking beyond the seeming parameters of one's own life. There might be a lesson there for young students. Plus it suggests that your college-age romantic choices will have lifelong repercussions—which will add drama to that orientation ice cream social.
Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson
Recommended by Rebecca Onion, Vault editor
The first book in Robinson's Mars Trilogy, Red Mars is full of ambitious philosophical contemplations. (Is utopia possible? What is the relationship between science and culture? How does history shape the future? How much should humans manipulate nature?) These questions make for a good complement to the kinds of revelations first-year humanities courses should provoke. But, more importantly, it's just a great story. In my first few panicked years of college, the idea of "reading for pleasure" was laughable. In graduate school I learned that the charge I got from picking up an engrossing novel completely unrelated to my research would give me energy to carry on with the difficult stuff. So I'd encourage a college freshman to keep reading for fun—and Red Mars is escapism of the most worthy kind.

Window Heat Pumps | Small and Compact Fits in a Window!
Window unit heat pumps use AC technology to supply both air conditioning and heating to a room or zone. These units are quite new but are growing in popularity because they provide cost-effective heating in single rooms and zones. It is much cheaper to heat with a window heat pump than it is with a space heater.
What Is a Window Unit Heat Pump?
A window unit heat pump is a window AC that does double duty. It cools as usual in hot weather. In cool weather, the work of the refrigerant is reversed and heat is captured outside and brought into the house.
Some window air conditioners include a heating coil similar to those used in space heaters. These units are not the same as window unit heat pumps. The heat they create is much more costly. When shopping for a unit that both cools and heats, make sure it is a window heat pump and not just an AC with a heater if you want to keep your utility bills as low as possible.
How Does a Window Heat Pump Work?
These units contain refrigerant that has the ability to capture heat, carry it somewhere else and release it. In a window unit heat pump, it travels a short distance, unlike in a central heat pump system.
When cooling, the refrigerant captures heat from the inside air and releases it in a coil at the back of the unit. The coil is not the same type of heating coil mentioned above, but more like a radiator. You've probably noticed the sharp, narrow fins on the back of a window air conditioner. Their role is to maximize surface area and speed up the transfer of hot air.
The technology is reversed for cooling. Heat is drawn from the outside air and released at the front of the unit where the fan blows it into the room.
What are the Most Common Brands of Window Unit Heat Pump?
The leading brands of window unit heat pumps are Amana, American Comfort, Carrier, Comfort-Aire, Crosley, Danby, DeLonghi, Friedrich, General Electric, Soleus Air and Sunpentown (SPT).
How Much Does a Window Heat Pump Cost?
The price is determined by the capacity of the heat pump – they range from about 8,000 BTU to 25,000 BTU—and the features it offers. The smallest window unit heat pumps cost $500-$700 and the largest models cost more than $2,000. Units in the popular 12,000-18,000 BTU range cost $800-$1,400.

Your fridge, if it is anything like ours, will decimate your batteries if you leave them without charging for days at a time. Also we have found that the lap top can take a lot of power if you are, for instance, playing on line games. In addition to all this I think that 12.2 volts is not a fully charged battery bank to begin with.
Short version:
How long will I have to run the engine to fully replenish a nearly depleted 600ah bank whilst also running the fridge, water pump and lights?
Long version
I'm not sure how long it should take to re-charge a almost completely depleted battery bank. I've read back through a bunch of alternator/charing/battery threads but they're all a bit over my head tbh.
My setup is barus shire 45 with domestic alternator (not sure of size right now - guess it's the 'default' one), starter altenator and travel power. I've got a 600ah battery bank (I think) that's about 2 years old but has only been used attached to shore power until I bought it a month ago. It's got a powermaster 1500 inverter charger that manages charging from the shore power (which I don't have)
It all seemed fine when I was cruising down from reading. Doing 8 hours a day left my batteries fully charged at 12.8 or so. Last week I left the boat and they were reading 12.2v according to the powermaster. I left the fridge on and a week later they were 11.8 but amazingly still powering the fridge.
So on saturday I moved it for three hours or so and left the engine idling for another two. Yesterday I moved it for another hour and left it idling for at least 6 (albeit with the travel power on and powering my stereo). I made it all the way back up to the heady heights of 12.2 again last night only to find it drained to 11.8 again before bed. All I'd been running was the 12v fridge, 12v lights and the laptop for an hour. Is this normal? Have I damaged my batteries by letting them get so low? Do I need to stick water in the top of them or something? Should my inverter measure the voltage as > 13 when the alternator is on (it's not) and the actual voltage when off?
How long should I expect to charge my bank given 12v fridge, 12v lights, pump and 1 hour laptop per day. I was guessing a couple hours a day max but I may be wrong here. How do I measure my usage?
Battery Charging Routine Basics

Posted 08 September 2014 - 09:08 PM
When we had to go to a non-mains moorings we installed a 165 watt solar panel. For two months before we moved we ran our Inlander fridge and the automatic bilge pump without any more input than the solar panel. After we moved we left the boat with only the pump in use. So far the batteries have remained charged. The panel is pointed and elevated to the optimum year round direction for the location of the moorings. Hope this helps and encourages the use of "Green Energy".

Zip, Zip…Homework written and illustrated by Nancy Poydar
Zip, Zip…Homework by Nancy Poydar tells the story of Violet – a young student with a new backpack. Violet gets a new backpack just for homework with lots of pockets. She practices zipping, snapping, and velcroing all the pockets in her backpack every night – just in case she gets some homework to put in them. Finally, Ms. Patience, Violet's teacher, assigns homework. Unfortunately, Violet loses it and instead of admitting her mistake, she chooses to lie and gets caught. In the end, Ms. Patience teaches Violet a valuable lesson about being truthful.
"When recess time came, Ms. Patience said, 'Violet, the truth is more important than homework, you know.' Violet never imagined Ms. Patience saying that. 'I kept the truth zipped up,' said Violet. 'But did you lose the truth?' asked Ms. Patience. 'No,' said Violet, and she told Ms. Patience the truth."
"That night Violet told her parents the truth. It was her special homework assignment, and it was harder than the homework she didn't do the night before."
Curriculum Connections:
Zip, Zip…Homework is a great book to read to younger students when discussing some qualities of a good citizen – practicing honesty and trustworthiness, taking responsibility for one's actions, and demonstrating self-discipline. This book correlates nicely with the Virginia History and Social Science Standards of Learning for K.8, 1.10, and 2.10.
Additional Resources:
Trustworthiness lesson: This pdf document provides an idea to teach younger students about trustworthiness by asking leading questions and having them draw pictures.
Honesty worksheet: This link includes a free worksheet of questions about honesty.
Responsibility lesson plan: This lesson plan encourages students to take responsibility for their actions instead of making up excuses. There are some nice questions and discussion prompts included in this lesson.
Character Counts Values Jar: This is an idea for a whole class incentive to be good citizens. Anytime a teacher catches a student being trustworthy, honest, caring, respectful, responsible, or generally a good citizen, a color-coded marble will be placed in a jar. Once the jar is full, the class will be rewarded.
