Have been having a tablespoon every morning and my skin looks more subtle and I look less tired. It has also helped curve my appetite and take a spoon or so when I want a late night snack. Will buy again.
Good but it's solid in Ireland so not smoothe and creamy like I wanted

In North Carolina a landlord may evict tenants by a special court procedure called summary ejectment if the lease is breached or terminated. A landlord in North Carolina may not use selfhelp such as cutting off utilities or locking tenants out of their homes in lieu of summary ejectment. The Clerk of Superior Court in your county has the forms and information you need to bring a summary ejectment action in magistrate`s court. In addition, accelerated evictions may occur for tenants and all members of the tenant`s household if criminal activity (such as drug trafficking) has occurred.
The information on this page is meant to provide a general overview of the law. The laws in your state and/or city may deviate significantly from those described here. If you have specific questions related to your situation you should speak with a local attorney.

abnormal yolk sac ultrasound
This is my first pregnancy, which was unplanned. On 4/17 I went to have my first 6 week ultrasound and it appears the yolk sac is irregular shaped, the fetal pole is close to the yolk sac, and it has a slow heart beat (100 bpm). My doctor says it looks like the baby may be trying to miscarry but she doesn?t know for sure, so I am going in on 5/1 for my 8 week ultrasound to see how it?s progressing. She said if the pregnancy looks viable, we could do CVS. Should we do CVS to make sure everything is okay since it started out with the abnormal yolk sac? Plus, since this was unplanned I wasn?t taking any prenatal vitamins so I?m worried for the chance of spina bifida. If anyone has been in a similar situation or can offer any comforting thoughts, that would be great. Thanks.

Crash series
(after reading the previous post)...it is ironic now, I suppose, that you are now on both ends of the camera...
Just making sure...
that was after being run over by a car about 10 years ago.
I seemed to know that it was a car, but not ten years ago and that you were a pedestrian.
That seems to be a theme for me. If there is something to walk into, trip over, or a hole to fall into it will be me. I have been run over, caught in a burning building, and once got off a boat in Germany on the wrong stop. Ended up on a fishing Island where only one woman spoke English. She sent me to the docks with a note pinned to my shirt asking someone to take me to the Mainland. So a 21 year old girl walks around the docks with a note in a language she doesn't understand pinned to her shirt. After they stopped laughing at me a fishing boat took me back. That's one of my favourite stories of all. I've never been able to decide if I am very unlucky or very lucky. I believe it's a dichotomy of the two.

The Aaron Rodgers conundrum
Why isn't this guy a shoo-in for the Pro Bowl? Maybe, after all, the problem is us.
Originally Published: November 13, 2009By LZ Granderson | Page 2
When you log on to vote for the players you'd like to see in the 2010 Pro Bowl, you'll notice the NFL alphabetizes the candidates by their first names instead of their last.
So, for example, Denver's Andre' Goodman tops the list of eligible AFC cornerbacks instead of Oakland's Nnamdi Asomugha. Or in the case of NFC quarterbacks, your choices begin with Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers rather than Drew Brees -- a good thing in my book, because Rodgers needs the help.

A different time
Vermont used to be a tolerant, live-and-let-live place. That was then; this is now.
Now if your opinions, positions and policies are not correct, you cant make a speech or sell bottled water.
The letters to the editor page is an appropriate place for radicals to vent their spleen. Jay Moore did exactly that in the June 24 edition. Moores vicious anti-Rice/Bush screed says he may surpass his hero Noam Chomsky in anti-American radicalism.
The scary part is that he was ever allowed to teach his version of history to the innocent youth for which he professes concern.
Another scary thing is that anyone presumably so intelligent and educated was so easily brainwashed into this level of hate.

Before I begin, a disclaimer. VoltDB is not a customer, and did not pay Percona or me to investigate VoltDB's scalability or publish this blog post. More disclaimers at the end. Short version: VoltDB is very scalable; it should scale to 120 partitions, 39 servers, and 1.6 million complex transactions per second at over 300 CPU cores, on the benchmarked configuration, with the recommended level of redundancy for HA.
First, if you're new to VoltDB, I'll summarize: it's an open-source OLTP database that is designed to run on a cluster, not just a single machine, and doesn't sacrifice consistency during a network partition. It is an in-memory shared-nothing system, and tables are partitioned across multiple servers in the cluster; high availability is ensured by keeping more copies of each partition. You query VoltDB with stored procedures, not with arbitrary SQL queries. It is designed to be very fast (hundreds of thousands of TPS) even on low-end machines, by doing away with the usual buffer pools, logs, latching, and so on.
The benchmark is VoltDB's "voter" benchmark, which is explained briefly at this blog post. VoltDB's Tim Callaghan ran the benchmark three times for each node count from 1 to 12, for k-factors of 0, 1, and 2. The k-factor is the number of redundant copies of each partition that the system maintains. An update to a partition in one server is synchronously replicated to all other copies in the cluster before the transaction completes.
Running all these benchmarks is a lot of work, which is why it is useful to run benchmarks for a dozen machines and model the behavior at larger cluster sizes. I used Neil J. Gunther's Universal Scalability Law (USL) to model the cluster's scalability. If you are not familiar with this model, probably the most succinct write-up is in a white paper I published some time ago. Let's go right to the results and then I will discuss the details about the modeling.
First, let's look at results for k-factors of 0 (no redundancy), 1 (recommended), and 2 (extra safety):
Those thumbnails are small and hard to read, but that's OK because there is something interesting and important that's easy to miss by looking at separate images anyway. The k-factor of 0 achieves the highest throughput, which I expected because of the lack of cross-node communication. What's odd is that the k-factor of 0 reaches its peak throughput at 35 nodes, but k-factor 1 scales to 39 nodes and k-factor 2 doesn't top out until 46 nodes. If we plot these on the same graph, it's easier to see:
This result was unexpected for me. I expect that a cluster with more inter-node communication should peak at fewer nodes. I asked Tim if he could explain, and he responded that it can be explained by the fact that at higher k-factors, there are fewer distinct partitions of data in the cluster. In all configurations, each node had 6 partitions of data, so when we keep more copies of the data, we have fewer unique partitions. In other words, the "unit of scaling" that is on the x-axis really shouldn't be the server count, but rather the number of partitions in the system. I re-ran my models and generated the following graph:
When approached from this angle, the results make sense. (Individual graphs by partition for k-factors: 0, 1, 2.) Now, for the recommended degree of safety, we can see that this cluster is predicted to scale to 120 partitions, at a throughput of more than 1.6 million transactions per second. This is on commodity 8-core boxes, and with 6 partitions per server and 2 copies of each partition, that should be a 40-node cluster.
In case you don't know what to think of that, I'll tell you: scaling a synchronously replicated, active-active master, fully ACID, always-consistent database to a 40-server cluster is impressive. Yes, it comes with some limitations (there's a decent write-up on highscalability.com that explains more), but that is still nothing to sneeze at.
Here are some more disclaimers and details, and I'll try to anticipate some questions:
Let me close by answering my own question: from what I know of VoltDB it does indeed match their claim, with good scalability to dozens of servers. For more information, or to download it and try yourself, you can visit the VoltDB website.
Hi, very interesting indeed.
I want to abstract a little bit and note that probably the most important message is that 'we' should start thinking of (genericly speaking) data storage/retrieval, getting rid of the concept of two level of storage performance. I was thinking lately to design (yes it happens sometimes!) a hard disk drive based on DRAM after reading some posts(yours) on SSD disk, and considering that if we have a properly backed up (three levels of power in my design) DRAM drive we dont need at all SSD drives, I think DRAM does not need to be proved reliable. But the important difference is that still the 'products' designed with the '2-storage-performance' in mind will be architecturally more complex at least. This I like of VoltDB , its a step forward, with the 'one-only-storage' in mind (no more single mutex contention!!!!!!)
(PS: someone already invented the drive: http://www.ddrdrive.com/ check out the performances http://www.ddrdrive.com/ddrdrive_bench.pdf)
It sounds similar in setup and philosophy to mysql cluster, with in memory data storage and hash indexes. I am actually more interested as a scale how it handles the various possible error states resulting from various kinds of networking, etc errors.
Interesting peak point. I remember I spoke at last years MySQL conference with someone working for an online gaming company who said they were running a 40 node (data nodes) MySQL Cluster. That's the largest NDB Cluster I've heard of so far.
Even if NDB allows some hundred nodes in the configuration file, I was still impressed to hear about such a large cluster actually up and running and performing well. Until then we had heard of about 16-24 node clusters, even then I'm not sure if that didn't include also MySQL nodes. I had always thought there would be a limit where the increase in inter-node communication just brings it down to a halt. But apparently 40 nodes is just fine.
And as a reminder: Just like with VoltDB, MySQL Cluster nodes form a single cluster, a single consistent database with transparent sharding.
All of this is just to say, your prediction with this theoretical model sounds realistic, who knows if it could go even beyond 40?

I have changed the "send mail" sound from Whoosh to something else....
But, the whoosh sound continues as before... And that is only when I'm online (ie - with network/mobile connection active).

This has been happening to me for the last few weeks, but there are some other issues too.
When I wake my machine (MacBook Pro running Lion 10.7.3), the sign on screen appears, then goes black. I can get the screen back by touching F1 or disconencting the magsafe. This is every time I close the lid and open while connected to a power source.
Quite often, this shenanigans is accopanied by the BING, BING, WHOOSH that has been described in this thread.
I have tried resetting the PRAM and other such things, And as this, for me, coinsided with the 10.7.3 update, closely anyway, I tried to reinstall that update. Nothing has fixed the issue.

Same problem here, whoosh, whoosh, ding, ding, ding, whoosh...multiple times. Happens sometimes after I've put my MBP to sleep by closing the lid, but doesn't happen all the time. It has only been doing this since Lion. Wish someone could solve the mystery!!
Paul Tansley May 6, 2012 3:04 AM
in response to Rhonda D.
Same thing happening here - for while now. When I wake my iMac from sleep, I get the bing, bing, bing etc. sound of a message being sent.
There's nothing in the sent folder - and I'm pretty sure as others have said, that its iCal reminders being sent. Problem is - they shouldn't need to be sent all the time, only on certain days (and not that many). Plus, the bing, bing is continous. It doesn't stop. I've let it run for a while in the past and the only way to stop it appears to be to quit the Mail app.
Its not a huge issue - but I'd love a way to fix it.
I can't even see an easy way of checking all the reminders going out. So I couldn eliminate which one or one's might be the culprit.

I just sent an email from apple.com/feedback about this issue. We are on a Snow leopard oriented thread, but I am running Lion. It sounds to me like others are having this problem with Lion as well. We will see if we get any response from Apple concerning this troubling issue.
mr pixelaté May 8, 2012 4:29 PM
in response to Nale in Scotland
Yeah, I get this in 10.7.3
I noted that when I was sending mail yesterday, no 'sent noise' was being made. However, when I wake up the computer, it starts going off (not every day though).
A theory I have is that the sound is placed in a queue when sending each email but doesn't play. When I wake the computer, the queue is released and sounds play.
Dunno, just an idea?

With all these 'little' problems creeping in to the Mac OS, one may wonder if Apple has dropped the ball. It's nice to have smart phones and iTV's and App Stores etc, but I think we'd all like to keep the Mac bullet proof and it's not so much anymore:
• Java update FAIL - flashback
• FileVault FAIL - plain view passwords
• Monitor attached sleep FAIL
• Mail sounds FAIL
• list goes on...... FAIL
Maybe addressing some of these issues quickly and not letting them drag on might go towards rebuilding our trust in core Mac products, because mine is wavering. I pay top dollar for my (lots of) Mac hardware, precisely so I dont get those 'pc issues'. But I am getting them........
I know you read this Apple, we've given you a lot of money over the years, so come on, tidy this stuff up and prove that you've not forgotten where your 'core' is.

I had the same hunch that mr pixelaté had. My MacBook Air (running Lion) isn't making sounds on sending mail, even though it is supposed to be doing so. Every once in a while, when it wakes up, it plays a serious of whooshes and (I think) the new message sound. Not using iCal so, IMO, that's a red herring.
scarynige May 24, 2012 12:48 PM
in response to BobTheDeveloper
I'd also independently developed the theory that mail sounds are being queued. Very occasionally I'll do something like waking my iMac up and a load of consecutive 'mail sent' sounds get played out. Almost always though when I send an email there's no 'mail sent' sound. This has been the case for so long I can't remember. It's really annoying though so was hoping for some answers - so far only found this thread with other people with the problem. I also don't use iCal (because it doesn't seem to know what the word 'sync' means...).
iMac 3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo running 10.7.4.

I am also experiencing this issue. Using Lion and sounds of whooshing mail when I open my computer.

I have contributed to this discussion before, but today something happened that may add a clue. I had been working with my Macbook Pro closed using an external monitor and bluetooth keyboard and trackpad. I discovered that Time Machine was not backing up. I guessed that this could be because one of my USB ports is a bit quirky and sometimes does not work. So I unplugged the Time Machine hard drive and plugged it into the other USB port. Time Machine activates and there goes the "whoosh, whoosh, ping, ping, whoosh, ping, etc" for a considerabe length of time.
I can not say that the sounds come only when I plug in the Time Machine hard drive, but it could very well be. So it may not be "starting" the computer that causes the sounds, but as many of us also plug in a Time Machine hard drive when we arrive to work and plug in devices when staring the computer.
Does this fit?

I also randomly get several swooshes, bings, and no sign of sent mail.
This has happend on 10.73 & 10.7.4
I do use iCal / Busy Cal but again, like others, no sign of sent mail.
I have to quit Mail to stop it.
I use my Mac / Mail 7 days a week and I'd say this happens on average every 2 weeks, yet its still sporadic.
No resolve on this yet anyone?
oxonian Jun 20, 2012 6:12 AM

This happened to me for the first time today. I'm running 10.7.4 on a 2GHz Macbook Pro 15". I've used the machine for over a year but this is the first time it's occured.
I opened the machine and head the soun of multiple "new mail" pings and several "sent mail" wooshes.
What's new is that I have just bought a new Thunderbolt drive for Timemachine backup. Previously I used a firewire drive (which I still connect to the mac for other reasons). The sounds started at the time I was plugging in all the ports i.e. the ethernet, thundebolt, firewire -- but this was also the time the machine was waking up.

Happens to me too on ALL of my macs that we upgraded to Lion.
If you leave the mail app open after sleep you get 50 bings if you have received 50 new emails.
Fancytricks Jul 1, 2012 2:36 AM

I can guarentte that most of you that have this issue have 1) an iPhone 2) a gmail account.
So what is actually happeneing is gmail on your phone has processed. You may in that time get 15 spam emails, you may have sent and recieved a few emails.
So all your Mail app is doing is getting your mail program syncing with IMAP. This means it will get the emails / been spam or whatever recive them, hence the bing or sent noise which is actually close to the deletion noise.
Trust me I have been getting uneasy about that too. But now having 7 google mail accounts it all makes sense.
Hope that helped.

Fred & Farid, the French agency, has released a spoof case study claiming credit for the failed merger between Omnicom and Publicis.
In the video, the agency claims that it orchestrated the doomed merger by sending a love letter to the Publicis Groupe chief executive, Maurice Lévy, signed by the Omnicom chief executive, John Wren, and then one to Wren from Lévy.
The agency then claims it asked WPP chief executive Martin Sorrell to stir the pot.
The result, Fred & Farid, says, was a punchline that "went viral like crazy... making the whole world participate to a very bizarre 'pre-divorce ceremony'.
"In the end, no one was hurt... and this little story proved once again… that love really is blind."

"What's disappointing is the villain is just a racist nutter who wants the blow up the world. The truly great villain is the one that talks sense. Andrew Ryan had some weird ideas about "sweat ownership," but he was articulate, dangerously intelligent, and wouldn't let someone like Comstock run the fucking hot tap!"So the villain and hero are having another therapy session and begin getting on the topic of the current conflict of the story. The hero is about to mention or is already explaining why the villain fails at life. But then something happens that the band of heroes didnt expect. The villain begins presenting an argument...and people are agreeing with him. Usually found in more cynical works in the Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism, the villain is shown exchanging words with the band of heroes that cannot be ignored. He isnt toying with them or telling them technical truths for selfish motivations. Hannibal, indeed, is trying to make a point. This isnt to say that Good Is Dumb. For unlike Breaking Them by Talking, this trope isn't meant to tear down the hero to show how pathetic they are. Its merely there to show that throughout all the encounters good and evil have with each other in a story, one exchange of dialogue from the dark side is reasonable. It may make more sense than how the good guys are going about an issue. This may even result in a FaceHeel Turn from one of the heroes after hearing the villains side of the story. This trope is usually found in (very likely to be philosophical) works to show that not everything is black and white in morality and will make the viewer question where the line of Moral Event Horizon begins. An example of this is the Armor-Piercing Question, What Is Evil? In order to qualify, the character must be a villain. It doesnt particularly matter when they turn to the dark side, but they must already be a villain in order to present this type of reasoning. Any type of villain can qualify. But they cannot be Anti-Heroes or on a neutral side, since this would eliminate the special kind of conflict this trope invokes. Compare with Strawman Has a Point, its Sister Trope. Strawman Has a Point happens when an author unintentionally sets up the villain to have more legitimate arguments for his actions than the hero makes him out to be, and thus a product of bad writing; while Hannibal Has a Point occurs when the villain is purposefully meant to be stating sensible points for his motives that take the hero by surprise. Someone might come out and say that the villain has a point, but the context of the story might allude strongly enough to this trope as well. Actions of the other characters reacting to the villains' argument must be noted if it is the latter. Related to The Extremist Was Right, which is what happens when the villain is so right, well... it works. See also Jerkass Has a Point.
— Yahtzee's commenting on the the differences of the villains from Bioshock Infinite to BioShock in Zero Punctuation
Examples:Anime and Manga
- A double subversion played with Paptimus Scirocco from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam by stating that while he knows his methods are extreme and that his ideal world will have very few people in power, that having people freely do what ever they please has been the cause of such horrendous bloodshed. And having more gifted people in power will lead to Utopia Justifies the Means. The only two people in the room listening to this are Haman and Char. Char at the time tells him to shut up. However, Chars ideals in Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack mimic Sciroccos in a way thats a little too close for comfort.
- Weiß Kreuz. Reiji Takatori is the Big Bad of the TV series, and antagonizes Weiss and their boss Persia aka his brother Shuiichi. However, in a certain confrontation, he brings up a valid point in regards to their subordinates (which in Reiji's case, are his own sons Hirofumi and Masafumi), summed up as this: "You tell ME I use my sons to my advantage?! Look at the way you treat your four subordinates, you hypocrite! Specially the little guy whom you thought he was my kid... and who happens to be YOUR illegitimate son!" And then he kills Persia.
- Fullmetal Alchemist: Solf J. Kimblee's speech to Roy Mustang and Riza Hawkeye during the Ishbalan war causes the two to stop trying to dodge responsibility for their actions, remember the faces of those they've killed, and try to change things for the better later on.
- In Bakuman。, when Nanamine reveals his true colors to the main characters, he makes a point that they, like he, took risks and defied their editors to get what they wanted, first by submitting two one-shots in violation of their contract, and second, by making a deal to end Tanto, a series they were dissatisfied with, under the promise of being able to deliver something better. Takagi is quite surprised to realize that Nanamine is aware of all this.
- X-Men villain Magneto regularly points out the futility of humans and mutants living together in peace. Considering how many Evil Plans humans and mutants have launched at each other over the course of the series, it's hard to argue with the guy.
- In Watchmen, Ozymandias is at first pegged as a monster for creating a monster that will kill millions of innocent people and blaming it on an alien invasion. After he explains his reasoning with Dr. Manhattan that by killing millions during such dark times (a Cold War that got even closer to nuclear annihilation than real life did), he will save billions because everyone will become united to solve this issue rather than trying to rip each other apart, Dr. Manhattan points out to the band of heroes that hes right; regardless of the morality of carrying out the plan in the first place (Manhattan refuses to say more than "without condoning, or condemning, I understand"), exposing him after the plan has already been put into effect wouldn't bring the dead innocents back to life, and would merely undo any good outcomes that might be salvaged from it.
- DC Comics villain Vandal Savage, when written by Christopher Priest (comics), has these account for about half of his dialogue.
- Rosario Vampire: Brightest Darkness Act IV: In chapter 24, despite being a Straw Nihilist and a lunatic, Hokuto's statement that Yokai Academy's lessons are more about hiding amongst the humans than actual human/monster co-existence does make sense in retrospect, even if Moka denies it.
- In Origin Story, Henry Peter Gyrich argues that Alex Harris must be brought to heel and controlled because she's far too powerful to be allowed running around as a loose cannon. He fears that she will flaunt US law, disrupt legal authority, and generally cause mayhem. And he's right. She not only kills people and gets away with it, she destroys government property, beats up law enforcement officers who are trying to simply do their jobs, steals a metric buttload of money from an international security corporation, threatens the government of the United States with terrorist actions, and even does such petty things as break underage drinking laws. Just because she can and because there's no one who can possibly stop her.
- In With This Ring, despite Paulphidian being a demented Fusion Dance of the Orange Lantern Paul and the Ophidian that has no emotions and only being guided by Paul's thankfully benevolent desires, it is completely correct in their assessment of Martian Manhunter. The situation is really is most Martian Manhunter's fault for using an untested, high-stress scenario without checking for side-effects or properly assessing his students. Even Black Canary couldn't think up of a defense.
- Watchmen has a similar issue to its comic counterpart above. Though the debatably Evil Plan is slightly different, its effects would be the same.
- Jigsaw from the Saw series has one goal: Teach people to appreciate life. Though the message does get muddled in the sequels' continuing reliance on Torture Porn, the final film does a good job of bringing the series back around, and explaining why Jigsaw does what he does.
- The Dark Knight: This seems to be part of the draw to The Joker's character. He may be chaotic and does things For the Evulz, but proves to be accurate in his assessments of certain people, such as Harvey Dent and Lau. He does, however, misjudge the characters of two entire boatfuls of people, including one that was full of criminals.
- The Last King of Scotland: Near the end of the film, the dictator Amin finally confronts Garrigan and calls him out for his naivete and thinking he could play "the white man and the natives". Which in effect sums up Nick's character for most of the film.
- The Hunger Games has this in the third book. President Snow explains to Katniss that he could not have sent the bomber to kill Prim because he would have used it to escape in such a hopeless situation. It would be out of character for him not to. And only one other person could have had hovercrafts...
- Sultan Mehmed of Count and Countess may be the Designated Villain who conscripts Child Soldiers and destroys Catholic churches for kicks, but he's got more common sense than the titular characters put together. Vlad realizes this at one point and gets annoyed.
- The Dresden Files: Nicodemus's crimes are so repulsive both on and offscreen they could take up an entry on their own. He also makes some very good points about the Black Council and Red Court while proposing an alliance that Harry has trouble arguing with. Harry still rejects Nicodemus, but it's not as easy as he thought it'd be.
- Although MARZENA plays a lot with the question What Is Evil?, both Marian and Helena find themselves in a tug of Cold War II to convince Lauren to join either the West or the East. Lauren being an Extreme Doormat, the reader has no choice but to sit through one speech after another. Although both sides are technically evil, they naturally also both make a few convincing points, with Marian putting emphasis on the need to be part of a family and survive, and Helena on American's selfishness and lack of a greater vision for the world.
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
Spike: You're not "friends." You'll never be friends. You'll be in love 'til it kills you both. You'll fight, and you'll shag and you'll hate each other 'til it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends. Love isn't brains, children, it's blood. Blood screaming inside you to work its will. I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it.
- In season 3, the Mayor (who, while anything but Jerkassy, was definitely a vicious villain) provided frank and accurate advice on why Buffy and Angel's relationship was doomed to fail. While he was trying to kill the both of them. Nice Guy.
- Spike's legendary "Love's Bitch" speech in Season 3:
Buffy: I can fool my friends. I can even fool Giles. But I can't fool myself... or Spike, for some reason.
- Buffy even acknowledges this later:
Dark Willow: Please! This is your pitch? You hate it here as much as I do! I'm just more honest about it. You're trying to sell me on the world? The one where you lie to your friends when you're not trying to kill them. You screw a vampire just to feel. And insane asylums are just the comfy alternative. This world? Buffy, it's me. I know you were happier when you were in the ground. The only time you were ever at peace in your whole life is when you were dead. Until Willow brought you back.
- In season 6, when Buffy tries to talk Dark Willow down by trying to get her to focus on the positives in life, Willow promptly responds with a Breaking Speech that's hard to argue against, especially since Buffy had stated more than once over the course of the season that she was happier when dead and finds it so hard to be alive:
- The conspiracy in Utopia revolves around a far-reaching plot to sterilise 90% of the UK, and later the world. The conspirators point out to the protagonists that this is to avert an even bigger catastrophe when Earth's resources are depleted.
- Supernatural:
The Trickster: This obsession to save Dean? The way you two keep sacrificing yourselves for each other? Nothing good comes out of it. Just blood and pain. Dean's your weakness. And the bad guys know it, too. It's gonna be the death of you, Sam. Sometimes you just gotta let people go.
- In "Mystery Spot", when The Trickster's... typical methods of teaching don't quite work on Sam, he spells the out for him the dangers of having a Living Emotional Crutch:
Lucifer: A part of me wishes we didn't have to do this.
- Happens again in "Swan Song", during the apocalyptic confrontation between Lucifer and Michael:
Michael: Yeah. Me too.
Lucifer: Then why are we?
Michael: Oh, you know why! I have no choice, after what you did!
Lucifer: What I did? What if it's not my fault?
Michael: What is that supposed to mean?
Lucifer: Think about it. Dad made everything. He made me who I am! That means God wanted The Devil.
Michael: So?
Lucifer: So why? And why make us fight? I just can't figure out the point.
Michael: What's your point?
Lucifer: We're going to kill each other. And for what? One of Dad's tests. We don't even know the answer. We're brothers. Let's just walk off the chess board.
- The Witch of Into the Woods has this effect on the characters; regardless of whether they say so aloud, they are visibly humbled by the "The Reason You Suck" Speech that is "Last Midnight", in which she calls them out on the fact that their wishes and carelessness got them in the trouble they're in now.
- Arcanum establishes Arronax (in actuality, Kerghan impersonating Arronax) as nothing short of an Omnicidal Maniac. Yet, despite this extreme position, when you get to hear his argument, Kerghan's logic make perfect sense. In the world of Arcanum, the world after death is one of peace and bliss, and the dead find returning to the living world physically painful precisely because in comparison to the afterlife life is pain. There is a certain sense, then, in doing the living world a favor by killing everyone and sending them to a happier place. One party member who has experienced death even confirms what Kerghan has to say, even if he objects to his conclusions and methods.
- Assassin's Creed III LOVES this trope. Almost every major templar you kill will lecture to Connor at length as they're dying about how they were only trying to maintain order and peace and Connor has just royally screwed it up by killing them and/or calling Connor out on how naive he is.
- Gungnir has Rodrigues say to Giulio that if he and Ragnus didn't cause another Espada uprising, the Espada Massacre wouldn't have happened and everyone would be fine. Whether or not you believe he has a point is actually a choice that helps determine the ending.
- Kid Icarus: Uprising: In chapter 23, Hades' statement on "what is the difference between being reborn as something else and being removed from existence?" actually does make sense in retrospect; Pit is left almost speechless in response.
- The Order of the Stick: The unnamed evil spirit living in Durkon's head seems to have a legitimate argument when he points out that Durkon has every reason to be vengeful against his own people, and indeed has expressed those feelings openly in the past. For that matter, his mistress Hel seems to have a legitimate grievance against the other Northern Gods for excluding her from their political process because she's less popular among mortal worshippers.
- Achilles, leader of the titular superhero team in the Global Guardians PBEM Universe, goes to his father for advice on his personal life all the time. His father, by the way, is Lord Doom, one of the setting's world-conquering master villains. This is a slightly inverted example, though, because usually Achilles is the blunt antagonistic one (for a hero), and Lord Doom is generally urbane and polite (for a villain).
- The Nostalgia Chick's Dark Nella Saga coupled this with What Measure Is a Non-Human?. The titular Big Bad (formerly an abused BFF) lets every one of the jerkass characters have it, the Chick herself getting the most tearing down, but it turns out Dark Nella was a clone and the original Nella trapped under the sea, so the show can carry on being a Played for Laughs Dysfunction Junction.
- In the climax of The Sword of Good, not only does Hirou begin to think that the Lord of Dark has some correct beliefs, he ultimately comes to think that he is entirely right— the humans really are the aggressors in the conflict with the orcs, his allies really did use torture against their foes, and his wizard ally Dolf is the real Big Bad because he could easily have used his healing magic to help others but chose not to because that would lead to democracy, and then when questioned makes up some BS to justify his incredible selfishness. This promptly causes Hirou to switch sides and execute Dolf for his crimes, behavior which the Sword of Good approves of.
- Justice League:
- First, the episode "A Better World". We have the Justice Lords, the Evil/Totalitarian Counterpart to the Justice League, who took over the world and turned it into a totalitarian state after their President Lex Luthor murdered the Flash. They deal with crime by lobotomizing their villains. When the two versions of Batman confront each other, they have a discussion on the virtues of democracy:
Lord Batman: Think about it. A world where there's no crime, no victims, no pain.League Batman: And no choice. Who elected you, anyway?Lord Batman: Who elected you? The problem with democracy is it doesn't keep you very safe.League Batman: It has other virtues, but you seem to have forgotten them.Lord Batman: I didn't forget. I just chose peace and security instead.League Batman: You grabbed power!Lord Batman: And with that power, we've made a world where no eight-year-old boy will ever lose his parents because of some punk with a gun.League Batman: [emerges from the shadows, dropping his batarang] You win.
- Notable in that this effect happened to the writers. Originally, League Batman was supposed to win the argument and the fight, but when they wrote that last line for Lord Batman, they couldn't come up with a response, so they rewrote the scene accordingly. Eventually, they later had a scene where a man is beaten for making a scene complaining about crummy service at a restaurant to showcase the cost of this world.
- Later, in Justice League Unlimited, this happens to Bats again. He confronts Amanda Waller, the head of Project Cadmus, a secret government agency that had been opposing the League. Batman tells Waller that the League will take down Cadmus if they pose a threat to the world. Waller shoots him down, telling him Cadmus exists as a way to stop the League from threatening the world — after all, an alternate League dethroned the world's government with only seven members, and the Unlimited League has a whole army of supers, as well as a giant fusion cannon hovering over the world and pointing down. That said, Waller doesn't say what would prevent Cadmus from doing the same thing. note

They deal with crime by lobotomizing their villains. When the two versions of Batman confront each other, they have a discussion on the virtues of democracy:
- Amon from The Legend of Korra is The Leader of The Equalists, who are tired of benders oppressing nonbenders, and he cites a few facts to back up his claim. The Triads that trouble the shops are made up entirely of benders, the ruling council of Republic City is comprised entirely of benders (the four member air nomads have more representation on it than a city of muggles), the police force's elite squads are all benders, and a lot of the good jobs are available only to benders. If you overlook the fact that the benders in the city aside from one family have no more representation than the non-benders, most of the jobs available to benders only amount to living infrastructurenote , inbuilt offensive capabilities are useful in any field that boils down to applied violence, and bending does not breed true... he sounds like he has a point.
- Kuvira was assigned to bring order and stability back to the Earth Kingdom. When she's finished, she sees no reason to hand it back to the royal family that let it fall into such a state to begin with. Part of Korra's arc is coming to the realization that Kuvira's goals aren't evil (and aren't even that different from her own), just the extremes she's taking to achieve them.

"Into the Wild" is the name of a recent movie, and also a possible title to the Avalanche's excellent adventure Tuesday night.
Colorado drove in, around and through the Wild in a chippy Game 4, and emerged relatively unscathed in a convincing 5-1 victory that thrilled Front Range hockey enthusiasts.
It might have seemed Minnesota was left wounded — physically and mentally — as it heads back to St. Paul, Minn., for Thursday's Game 5.
In reality, though, the series is tied at two games apiece, and Wild star Marian Gaborik is bound to heat up.
He remains pointless, but optimistic.
"It's 2-2, you know? We just kind of blew this game in the first period," Gaborik said. "We're not playing very smart, taking a lot of penalties.

Gaborik, who led Minnesota with 42 goals in the regular season, had just three shots coming into Denver. He had nine in the Wild's 3-2 overtime victory in Game 3 Monday but was not a factor Tuesday.
"It's tough, of course," he said of his scoring slump. "You just have to stay positive. Keep working hard and, you know, do things for the team. You have to get some chances, create openings, and shoot."
Minnesota veteran Brian Rolston was asked if Tuesday's loss was demoralizing. He almost choked on the pizza he was eating.
"We don't feel good about losing 5-1, but demoralizing? It's 2-2," he said. "We feel good that we came in and got one game. We don't feel good about what we did tonight, but that's a good team over there and we're prepared for a long battle, and that's what we're going to have."
Minnesota committed seven defensive-end turnovers Tuesday — in the first period. After Colorado went ahead 3-0, Rolston said, the Wild was officially out of its game plan. The teams combined for too many penalties for the official scorekeepers to track at press time. At last count, Minnesota was whistled for 26 penalties.
"We got down and guys started taking liberties," Rolston said. "We got out of our game plan, something we'll get back in our next game."

Perfect for small adults, too!!
Don't be put off by the "I-bought-these-for-my-5-year-old" reviews. I have a small, thin face and adult goggles just don't fit. These TYR Tracer Junior Racing Goggles seal well, are very comfortable and reasonably priced. I'll be buying these again!

awesome for a year now
My 7 year old swims competitively and had had these for a year (she just lost them so I'm back to buy more). Salmon is definitely a pinkish color - it always is though if you order salmon colored clothing it's peachy/pink. Don't know why that would surprise anyone so unless your boy is flexible and likes pastels I would go for another color. They haven't leaked for her at all which is fantastic b/c she's had a variety of speedo goggles that just don't fit exactly right. These were great right out of the package and I didn't even mess around with the other nose piece options. She's been fine off the blocks and for all 4 competitive strokes - nice fit and totally affordable as far as goggles go!

Perfect practice goggle for 12 year old
These are my 12 y/o daughter'a go to practice goggle. Comfortable secure strap . Easy to adjust. Stay in place nicely lap after lap
great google
Just bought this for my daughter, she uses it now 5 times a week during her swim practice. She loves it. Very well made.
Cupertino, CA
nice fit
Fit my 8 yr old. No leaks. Doesn't come off while diving. Wish there were more colors. The orange almost looks pink.
Great googles.
Go to goggles. Wish they came in clear. But these are close to clear.

good practice goggle
My son uses these for practice. He wears the metallic version of this goggle in meets. No complaints.
Great goggles
My 8 yr. old daughter competes in swimming & found the goggles does NOT leak or come off when she dives which is very important. She loves it!
Dillwyn, Va
Perfect Fit
We've finally found the goggles that fit my kiddo perfectly and do not leak! I ordered two more pairs so I'd have extra!
Central NJ
Tried, Tested and Approved
The only swim goggles my son will use. Keeps out the water and (short of him losing them) lasted an entire swim season. Decent price for good quality goggles. Down-side, the swim goggle band can be hard to adjust on the fly. Especially once it is wet. Other than that, great product. :)
West Sacramento, CA
My 6 year old is on the swim team and we needed a pair of good goggles to fit the smaller face. These were great as they had a variety of nose sizes included. We snapped on the smallest one and now they stay on through the entire swim practice with no water leaks.

comfy for long use
they fit my smaller face better than adult goggles

Only goggle that fits!!!
Im 15 and been swimming competitively since i was 7. I quit and recently started up again to train and join my high school team my old goggles broke so i had to buy a new pair. I have a small face and or my eyes are close together so i have a hard time buying goggles that fit. These are great! They might come with change-able nose pieces but i can't remember. They are great diving off the blocks and the straps that they come with are great. I bought another pair for outdoor use during summer league. I highly recommend if you have small eyes and need kids sized goggles.
Ashburn, VA
good fit for a smaller face
My 8 year old daughter uses these and likes them. She has large eyes and a small nose so these fit well. She still has trouble with leaking but they fit better than her last pair.
Must have.
These goggles are a must have. I have a small face so i use jr goggles. These goggles are the only ones that fit me. They are great because they have different nose pieces that you can plug in to customize the goggles. I bought a tinted pair. They were so great and after my clear pair of speedos broke, i bought another pair but clear. These goggles are my best friend and never move when i dive. They stay where they need to be.
Good goggles, check colors
The good- These are great leak proof goggles. They are comfortable to wear and the dual head straps do not slip. A good value.The bad- The "smoke/orange" looks more "smoke/pink." A great girl color, not so good for boys.
Definitely pink!
Although the goggles themselves seem fine, I feel the color is misrepresented, hence the low rating. The website called them "orange and smoke", but the strap is really a salmon/pink color. Since I bought these for my 10 year old son, he will not wear them with the strap that came with the goggles.

Excellent for kids
I bought these for my son to use for his first swimming lessons. The additional bridge pieces for the nose make fitting these to any child's face easy. Durable.
Manassas, VA
Great goggles
I am new to masters swimming and competing and needed a goggle that fit my small face and these are perfect. And they don't come off or move when I dive from the blocks.

A Place in the World (1996)
Mary Chapin Carpenter's heady star continued to rise with 1994's Stones in the Road, one of her most introspective collections, as searing in its way ... Show synopsis Mary Chapin Carpenter's heady star continued to rise with 1994's Stones in the Road, one of her most introspective collections, as searing in its way as Rosanne Cash's Interiors. In order to consolidate that success with her follow-up, A Place in the World, Carpenter returned to the looser, more rock-sounding Come on Come On for inspiration -- a record that netted seven hit singles. Carpenter and longtime bandmate and producer John Jennings hired studio aces like guitarist Duke Levine, keyboardist Benmont Tench, Fairport Convention drummer Dave Mattacks, bassist Bob Glaub, and a host of backing vocalists including Shawn Colvin and Kim Richey, as well as a small string section. This collection still touches on reflective adult folk, but returns to hooky, catchy, radio-friendly country-rock for balance. On the whole, A Place in the World doesn't offer the deep reflective rewards of Stones in the Road, nor is it quite as kinetic as Come on Come On. Still, the record is exceptionally well-crafted and boasts several excellent songs that reflect on the desire for romance and the willingness to risk virtually everything for it. There's the old-time soul feel of "Let Me into Your Heart" with its backing chorus, the bubblegum pop/rock of "I Want to Be Your Girlfriend," the poignant rocker "Hero in Your Hometown" -- which is a tracing-paper image for the way contemporary country singles sound in the 21st century -- and the anthemic country-rock of "Keeping the Faith." The title track that closes the record is one of several more poignant and introspective tunes, offering a look at the kind of changes Carpenter was going through in her personal and professional life. Any real fan will want to own this one as well as the aforementioned others, but those new to her music may want to seek out the earlier recordings first. ~ Thom Jurek, Rovi

Cable internet, or broadband as it's frequently called, works by using the cable television infrastructure lines to bring internet access directly to a home or office. Today, it is the most widely used way to receive internet access because it is faster when compared to a dial-up connection furnished by a telephone land line.
Cable internet service in Brookings utilizes a shared line which provides service to a whole neighborhood. When there are lots of people on the net simultaneously, it could slow up the transfer of data. Also, security measures are needed since it is possible for anyone on a single LAN (local area network) line to get into somebody else's data, should they learn how to do it. Most cable companies have addressed this challenge with firewall abilities and modems that put into action the Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS). This supports cable network security.
Fiber optic internet may be the fastest available with upload speeds up to 50 mbps (megabytes per second) while cable offers around 16 mbps. Verizon FiOS is the first and only 100% fiber optic communication network which is directly for home services. It not only provides extremely high speed internet it also produces outstanding picture quality for TV and videos online, isn't affected by power surges, noise or static and has very little down time because fiber optic wire is far more resilient than copper cable.
Comcast one of the biggest cable internet providers and digital TV providers in the U.S. Their internet service is transferred through cable but they also use fiber optic technology for their patented PowerBoost? helps to make downloading videos, games and music as well as uploading documents faster than standard cable. Services include SmartZone? Online for listening to voicemail online and more. Additionally Comcast provides free Comprehensive Security.
Time Warner Cable? began as a digital cable provider and integrated high speed internet and clear phone services to their product offerings. They work to deliver the newest technology including their famous Road Runner? Broadband internet connection at inexpensive prices. They offer wireless home networking for as much as 4 computers, free Internet Security Suite and great customer service 24/7.
Cox Communications is highly competitive in the broadband internet market. They claim to be the best and give a 30 day money back guarantee to prove it. Cox also employs PowerBoost? technology and get 24/7 technical support. They give free security, access to ESPN360.com, 5GB free storage with Premier and Preferred packages and internet so fast the download progress bars don't have time to show up.

New Mortgage Rules Could Hurt Homebuyers in California, New York
TheStreet) -- New mortgage rules designed to create a more responsible mortgage market might end up hurting borrowers in states such as California and New York, where the price of real estate is expensive. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau recently issued rules that require banks to verify that the borrower has an ability to repay the loan by looking at criteria such as a borrowers' income, employment status, credit history and other debt obligations.Banks will be offered greater legal protection if they make "qualified mortgages" -- loans that do not have excess upfront points and fees, have no toxic features such as interest-only loans, negative amortization and balloon payments, and where the borrower does not spend more than 43% of his income to pay down debt. Analysts expect lenders to largely limit their lending to qualified mortgages to avoid legal liability. While this is expected to prevent the kind of reckless and abusive lending practices of the past -- indeed, many banks have already tightened underwriting standards significantly -- the new rules could make it tougher for borrowers in high-end real estate markets. According to a report by analysts at Deutsche Bank, the qualified mortgage rule will "significantly curtail the origination of prime jumbo loans." Jumbo loans are those that are above the conforming limit of loans backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- currently at $625,500. The jumbo loan market has already shrunk, with most lenders sticking to mostly agency-backed mortgages. Those who do jumbo loans -- Redwood Trust (RWT - Get Report) is a big player -- now write mostly prime loans. Even after significant tightening of underwriting standards, more than 13% of jumbo loans originated since 2010 remain outside the parameters specified by the CFPB. Before 2010, about 75% of the jumbo loans were non-qualified mortgages. Jumbo loans face a tougher test because, historically, many million-dollar homebuyers have not not depended on W2 incomes, the analysts note. A lot of high-income borrowers with high credit scores tend to take "interest-only" loans for tax purposes. But interest-only loans are prohibited under the new rules. The majority of jumbo loans prior to 2008 were highly levered, with debt well in excess of 43% of reported income. Since 2010, about 9% of prime loans originated have debt to income in excess of 43%. Still, in markets such as California, New York and Connecticut, about 20% of jumbo loans originated in recent years would be considered non-qualified mortgages, according to the report. "The adoption of qualified mortgages in January 2014 will limit credit availability for many buyers in these three States," the analysts wrote. More broadly, the implementation of the rules could "further delay the recovery of the luxury housing market, which generally consists of homes that cost 1 million dollars or more. The luxury-housing sector is still struggling or even deteriorating despite continuous improvement in the overall U.S. housing market," the analysts said. -- Written by Shanthi Bharatwaj in New York.NEW YORK (
