Clive and Elsa are young, brilliant, and ambitious. The new animal species they engineered has made them rebel superstars of the scientific world. In secret, they introduce human DNA into the experiment.
This is an "ideal" example of bestial delight. (My silly joke)
For science.
Mi è piaciuto molto: il classico mito del dottor Frankenstein sul delirio di onnipotenza dell'uomo che si trasforma in una storia di maternità, di conflitto tra creatore e creatura e di anarchia del potere. Bello il finale anche molto inquietante. Splendido il design della Dren, uno dei "mostri" più belli che mi sia capitato di vedere di recente.
You sick, talented bastard. Way to go. I used to wonder why there was so little of this. We live in a world of transhumanism euphoria, of tattoos and all sorts all body mods becoming mainstream, of millions dreaming of the singularity. But still, to actually see this seems too much. We can dream of a machine dominated world. Of fusion with machines. But this seems really disturbing. Seems wrong. That's interesting.
Un film Freudiano che analizza lo sviluppo di una persona con qualche fantascientifica simbologia, simpatico ma niente di che
This movie was like a bad joke to me. It made me think stupidity of human kind and i felt tired of jokingly sloppy/unreal acting of performers. In contrast to that resources of production seems excellent and animations were good.
In love with my guinea pig.
Un esperimento riuscito a metà. Semplicemente il regista non sa da che parte andare, finisce col trasformare il film in un'accozzaglia di generi mal amalgamati.
David Cronenberg is rolling in his..wait...
A neat idea with all the effects and drama that one wants until... well .... you'll know when you see it. Then it all goes to hell.
I wish I could get those 104 minutes of my life back. So terrible. Worthy of 1/2 star (or less).
One of the worst films to ever appear on a movie screen.
I support splicing. Just don't fuck up.
Like Natali's previous film CUBE, SPLICE had a lot going for it with a great premise. With the main focus on the scientists' motivations but lacking developed backgrounds, SPLICE results in disjointed scenes and last-minute plot gap fillers. What Natali does manage to push through the cracks however, is the underlying fear that Scientists can lose sight of impacts in their work when driven to find a 'breakthrough'.
i only wasted my time...
Good storyline good effects and it was totally wrong that I got aroused during this film.
A good start, an absolute bad ending.
A highly interesting scifi from the mind that created "The Cube", that unfortunately steers itself in the wrong direction towards the end. Entertaining and sometimes clever, but flawed.
soooooo baaaaadddddd

168. 85. 140/78.
Those are definitely not my bust/waist/hip measurements. But they are good for the most part. My office is offering free blood workups all this week, and I figured if I'm going to make a conscious change to my lifestyle, I ought to have an idea of where I'm starting at. It's pretty nice that it coincided within the first two weeks of my SparkPeople plan.
So, 168 cholesterol looks pretty good on paper. I do not know what the HDL/LDL counts are, but I figure that I'm leaning towards an unhealthy combo of the two--with HDL being low and LDL being high. I know how I eat...
85 is my fasting glucose levels. And it falls nicely within the normal range. I do wish they would have checked my levels after I ate something, too, but I can always push my doctor to do those kinds of tests.
140/78. I'm sure you figured out it's my blood pressure. I'm not worried about this as I've been in and out of the doctor's office lately and it always varies from 110 to 140 systolic and always sticks just under 80 diastolic.
So, there they are. I've asked to be placed on a waiting list for a free physical at my office, so maybe I'll get an even better idea of my current state of health. But I feel pretty darn good...though fat and out of shape. I think I'll see some very positive changes when I check again next year.
Diabetes is the one disease that frightens me the most and with good reason. Both Type I and II runs rampant through my extended family. My mom was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes in her mid-40s and she is actually a healthy weight, eats healthy, and exercises somewhat regularly. I just don't want to be another one that gets caught.

Yeah, I have a fear about diabetes too. It doesn't run in my family, but I wouldn't want to be the first one to get it because of my former unhealthy lifestyle. Congrats on taking the steps to avoid it!!

In the Hands Of A Master, The Ukulele Is No Toy
From the Performance
Selections from the CD 'Gently Weeps,' performed at NPR:
Shimabukuro plays snippets to demonstrate different musical styles:
'Jumping Flea'
In Hawaiian, ukulele roughly translates to "jumping flea." It got its name because the instrument is so tiny, the fingertips on your left hand "look like little jumping fleas on a fretboard as you're playing it," Shimabukuro says.
Think the ukulele is just a cheap, plastic toy to be played under a palm tree? One listen to Jake Shimabukuro and you'll change your mind. The Hawaiian-born ukulele virtuoso strums and plucks a variety of sounds out of the tiny instrument, from "Ave Maria" to "While My Guitar Gently Weeps."
Shimabukuro grew up playing traditional Hawaiian music on the ukulele, and has stuck with the instrument for 25 of his 29 years.
"I feel people get bored of playing the ukulele because they hear other things and they want to be able to play other things," he says. "But... I've always felt there was so much more to explore, and I really love it."
"There's a lot of different sounds that you can really get from the instrument," he says.
On an appearance last year on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, for example, Shimabukuro played an amplified rock solo that sounded very much like an electric guitar.
Shimabukuro named his latest CD Gently Weeps because of his affection for George Harrison. The late musician, whose primary instrument was guitar, also played ukulele and would take one along wherever he went.
"I really believe he got a lot of his ideas from the ukulele because they work so well with the instrument — songs like Something," Shimabukuro says.

I Don't know if i'm asking this in the right place? so i'm taking my Chance & if i'm not in the right place i'm Sorry
Ok as you know I Do have an Apple TV 1080i & I Wanted to ask this question
will Apple Inc ever put Flixster & Crackle in The Apple TV ??? cause I Really would love to see it happen cause I Do also have a Collection of Movies on Flixster & Crackle, I Do have an Account with Crackle but I Would like to See Crackle on Apple TV
I Have a Flixster Account & I Have like 35 Movies on My Flixster Account to watch
so I Was just wondering if Apple Inc is ever going to do an Update to Add Flixster & Crackle to there Apple TV Lineup
& I Do have Questions about Apple TV
Ok I Was at PC Richard & Son Electronic Store & I See they have Roku 3 Something that is very much like The Apple TV & I See that Roku 3 can Stream 1,000 channels of movies, TV shows, sports, and more to any HDTV.
Now How come Apple Inc is Falling Short on The Apple TV Meaning How Come Apple TV Can't Stream 1,000 Channels of Movies, TV Shows, Sports, & more to any HDTV????
it would be nice if Apple TV Step there Game up more & start adding more Channels like Flixster & Crackle on The Apple TV
How come The Apple TV Can't be The Same way as Roku 3 is??? there both Small & almost the same way, there both Adapters like kind of thing
Can't Apple Inc Add more Channels to The Apple TV??? cause Roku 3 & Apple TV Are so much a like.
Does Apple inc Apple TV Have Room to Add more Channels to the Apple TV???
or is Apple Inc Limited on what they can Add to The Apple TV???
or they just not Allowed to Add anymore Channels to The Apple TV???
or is it to much Compitition to Add more Channels to The Apple TV??? & it's hard for them to do it???
Why does Apple Inc fall Short on there Apple TV???
Roku 3 is a Little Box & Apple TV is a Little Box, why does Roku 3 have more Channels then Apple TV???
Apple TV Feels kinda Empty they really need to Add more Channels to there Lineup, You Agree???
Roku 3 & Apple TV are both $99 but i think that Apple Inc needs to take The Lead & be #1 better then The Rest, You Agree???
Sorry I Had so many questions & Sorry it is a long thread to Read
Stay cool from Byron.
Hi Byron,
unfortunately, no here can answer the questions you have because Apple doesn't publish anything about anything they're planning or designing until they introduce it publicly. So, the suggestion by stevejobsfan123 is the best thing for you to do: think about the features you'd like to see, type out a list of them, and then you can copy/paste that into the feedback text box. I think that'd be a great idea.
PS Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan says he celebrated his 41st wedding anniversary watching "action movies" and soccer match with son Abhishek.
Amitabh and Jaya got married June 3, 1973, and they have two childreen -- son Abhishek and daughter Shweta. While Abhishek is married to actress Aishwarya Rai and they have a daughter named Aaradhya, Shweta is married to businessman Nikhil Nanda and has son Agastya and daughter Navya Naveli.
"A flood of wishes on our 41st! So grateful to all... Wife is away, but Father and son had a boy's night out... Football (sic)," the 71-year-old tweeted.
Big B further revealed on his blog that having a "chilling time" at home was his decision.
"The boys were having a night out... Abhishek and I... the anniversary behind us he wished we go out to a movie, or dinner... I insisted we chill at home... so we chatted and exchanged notes and saw two movies back to back... cool !
"Yaa... you guessed right... action movies! And when that was over back to our pastime - Football and watching the run up to the World Cup," he wrote on srbachchan.tumblr.com.
Big B, who has worked with wife Jaya in films including "Zanjeer", "Abhimaan", "Chupke Chupke", "Sholay", "Silsila" and "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham", also thanked his family for sharing the blessings on the special day.
"Blessings from elders, from family and the extended family makes the day delightful and comfortable, even though the wife is out of the country... 41 years! It has been a while has it not in the life of an individual," he said.
He also said: "It does not matter whether we are together on the day of the anniversary, what is important is our report card... that should be happy and satisfactory."
"Our report card does not deal with numbers and comment... it merely emphasises the reports of our progeny - Shweta and Abhishek. They are our numbers, standings, rankings, marks... what ever! They be right we all are right," he said.

Formerly Used Defense Sites:
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Needs to Improve Its Process for Reviewing Completed Cleanup Remedies to Ensure Continued Protection
GAO-10-46: Published: Oct 29, 2009. Publicly Released: Oct 29, 2009.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-9627
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Department of Defense (DOD) estimates that cleaning up known hazards at the over 4,700 formerly used defense sites (FUDS)--sites transferred to other owners before October 1986--will require more than 50 years and cost about $18 billion. This estimate excludes any additional needed cleanup of emerging contaminants--generally, those not yet governed by a health standard. DOD delegated FUDS cleanup responsibility to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps). In addition to FUDS, DOD is responsible for cleaning up about 21,500 sites on active bases and 5,400 sites on realigned or closed bases. The House Armed Services Committee directed GAO to examine (1) the extent to which the Corps reevaluates sites to identify emerging contaminants; (2) how DOD allocates cleanup funds; (3) how the Corps prioritizes FUDS for cleanup; and (4) FUDS program overhead costs. GAO analyzed nationwide FUDS property and project data; policies, guidance and budget documents; and interviewed DOD and Corps officials.
The Corps has not often re-examined sites after they have been cleaned up to determine whether emerging contaminants are present or need to be addressed. Generally, the Corps reevaluates sites only when requested by states or others, or when reviewing the completed remedy to ensure its continuing protectiveness. Such reviews are required every 5 years for sites where the chosen remedy does not allow for unlimited use and unrestricted exposure. Corps officials said that they had not received many requests to re-examine sites and few FUDS had required 5-year reviews. Reports on the 15 5-year reviews completed as of May 2009 within four Corps divisions indicated that the Corps has not consistently (1) conducted required 5-year reviews on time, (2) conducted reviews when they are not required but may be appropriate, as EPA recommends, and (3) submitted reports on these reviews for technical evaluation, as required by Corps policy. Also, DOD and the Corps lack accurate, complete information on the status of these reviews. Without timely, accurate, and complete reviews, the Corps cannot ensure that remedies continue to protect human health and the environment. DOD proposes funding to clean up defense sites based on the department's environmental restoration goals and obligations are generally proportional to the number of sites in each site category. Funding is directed toward reducing risks to human health and the environment, among other goals. The Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Defense Logistics Agency each determine the funding requirements to clean up sites based on these goals. The Corps prioritizes individual FUDS for cleanup on the basis of risk and other factors. The Corps assigns each site a risk level, considering such factors as the presence of hazards, the potential for human contact, and the concentrations of contaminants and their potential for migrating, among others. According to DOD officials, sites' risk levels are the single most important criterion in determining cleanup priorities. However, the Corps also takes into account specific FUDS program goals, and other factors--such as regulators' and the public's concerns--that can influence the Corps' decisions about which sites to address first. Consequently, high risk sites are not always addressed before low risk sites. Direct program management and support costs for the FUDS program have decreased slightly in recent years, mostly due to structural changes in the program. The Corps' obligations for FUDS direct program management and support costs have declined from 11.0 percent of total program obligations in fiscal year 2004 to 9.0 percent in fiscal year 2008. In addition, to further reduce certain components of these costs to make more funds available for FUDS cleanup, the Corps reduced the number of employees managing the program and the number of districts responsible for FUDS from 22 to 14. Furthermore, Corps officials told GAO that they have implemented a number of controls--such as assigning tracking codes--to ensure that program management and support funds are spent only on approved items.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Department shall ensure that the Corps conducts 5-year reviews at Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) where required by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act(CERCLA). Emerging contaminants that meet the CERCLA definition of a hazardous substance will be considered during those reviews. The Assistant Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Installations and Environment) stated that the 1) Corps is continuing to conduct timely Five Year Reviews in accordance with the CERCLA and National Contingency Plan, 2) Corps considers emerging contaminants in the Five Year Review, and 3) the corrective actions have been implemented.
Recommendation: To help ensure that the remedies at FUDS continue to protect human health, safety, and the environment, the Secretary of Defense should direct the Corps to conduct 5-year reviews for sites where emerging contaminants are present and the cleanup will eventually allow unlimited site use and unrestricted exposure, but will require more than 5 years to complete, consistent with Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) guidance that such reviews are appropriate, even if not required.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Army initiated actions to modify the Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) information management system to address the recommendation. The Department will ensure that the modifications will allow districts to more easily track information on 5-year reviews, plan for 5-year reviews, and track progress on completing the reviews. The Assistant Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Installations and Environment) stated that the 1) Corps revised the FUDS information management system in January 2010 to facilitate planning for Five Year Reviews (FYRs), to simplify tracking FYRs accomplishment in a timely manner, and capturing results 2) FUDS team at Headquarters reviews the FUDS information management system data on FYRs and discusses the status with each District during the Annual Focused Reviews, and 3) these actions allow the District to more easily track information on FYRs. Further, the Assistant Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Installations and Environment) stated that the corrective actions have been implemented.
Recommendation: To help ensure that the remedies at FUDS continue to protect human health, safety, and the environment, the Secretary of Defense should direct the Corps to modify its FUDS program information management system to allow districts to more easily track information on 5-year reviews, and take steps to ensure that the districts utilize this system to plan for 5-year reviews and track progress on completing them.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Department will ensure that the Corps conducts a review of the Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) reviews including management, tracking, and record keeping. The Assistant Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Installations and Environment) made the following statements. The Corps has made improvements in management, tracking, and record keeping on Five Year Reviews (FYRs) and DoD believes that current Corps practices will ensure accomplishment of the Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) FYRs as required. The Corps FUDS staff now conduct site level and report reviews to ensure FYR requirements are met and FUDS information management system enhancements have facilitated better tracking and record keeping. As a result of the Corps initiatives in FUD FYRs, since the GAO review, the Corps has entered new information on FYRs for more than 23 FUDS properties into the FUDS information management system reflecting improved management, tracking, and data integrity. Further, the Assistant Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Installations and Environment) stated that the corrective actions have been implemented.
Recommendation: To help ensure that the remedies at FUDS continue to protect human health, safety, and the environment, the Secretary of Defense should direct the Corps to determine why districts have not always completed timely 5-year reviews and provided all 5-year review reports to the Center of Expertise for comment--consistent with Corps guidelines--and develop procedures and controls to address these causes.

Put one drive in an enclosure and use a program such as the Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Cloner, or SuperDuper to move the existing Mac OS X installation to the desired drive. Alternatively, put the new drive into the computer, connect it to the Internet, start it up with the Command and R keys held down, and reload the OS from the recovery partition on Apple's servers.

Depends on which system your MBP shipped with. If it shipped with anything below 10.7 Lion, you can use the install disks to install that system and then upgrade to ML using your Apple ID.

Voice of the Seven Woods
Former Fallout Records owner and current Tigertail proprietor Tim Hayes was telling me recently that he's been really into Turkish psych. Many take Tim's word as God, so when the Wall of Sound folks threw those adjectives around to describe Voice of the Seven Woods, I was nearly sold- without even hearing a note (though after they played it over the store's system, I scrambled to grab what I could). Though he's not Turkish- the Manchester-based man behind VOTSW, Rick Tomlinson (who has close ties to the B-Music collective) borrows heavily from the Eastern realms to kick out some jangly velvety, levitating magic carpets of sound that could quickly become my new jam for early '08 rotations. Too bad I gave it to someone else for Christmas.

I am a size 28 and am 6 weeks pregnant. My pants are getting snug, which I am sure is bloating from the progesterone supplements, but I am looking like I am farther along!! I do not want to buy new pants since I am assuming the bloating will go away. I was looking at buying a bella band, but I am not sure what size to get? I carry most of my weight in my belly already? Anyone use one??
Bella Band Advice
i have been using the plus size ones from motherhood maternity. they are kind of cheaply made. you want to wash on gentle and dont dry them. the arent as expensive as other ones though
Congratulations on your new pregnancy! I highly recommend trying on the bella band before you buy. I went to Motherhood Maternity and the sales clerk recommended that I try a bella band size that was much smaller than my pant size. I was stunned that it fit well. It does an ok job holding up pants, but the shifting from sitting to standing and vice versa can be tricky. I caved around 10 weeks and bought a couple pairs of maternity pants. I still use the bella band occassionally actually as additional support to hold up the belly... gravity is not nice to big stomachs!
I bought the one from target and like pp'er it rolled up and didnt really offer any support.

Me: "Long day?" You: "Smell you later."
You: Math doctoral student with a minor in art, a taste for spicy Indian food, fantastic and wandering aimlessness in life, dusty blonde hair, and deep, pretty brown eyes; window seat on American flight #1490 from OHare to RDU.
Me: Seeker of some degree no one's ever heard of with a minor in English, a taste for spicy indian food, sweat-soaked insulating long sleeved shirt from flying in out of the cold, smelly green plaid shirt, 4 days of stubble, greasy hair, shitbreath from the burrito I had at OHare (why not? I was there for 7 goddamn hours), and the type of body odor that can only come from not showering after spending all day in a car and the hot sun and drinking until about an hour before hitting the road for the airport (where I spent all day before seeing you). I probably had stinky feet, too, and I was wearing flip-flops; middle seat on American flight #1490 from OHare to RDU after spending all day chasing cancelled flights.
I said "I've almost never talk to anyone on the plane." You said "I guess usually give off the message that I don't want to talk on the plane."
Why haven't you called?
Are you telling me you weren't drawn to my pheremone soaked clothing? Was it the big dirt stain on my shirt, or the way I kept getting tomato juice on my pseudo beard/moustache?
Was it the fact that I was hungover and living off an hour of sleep and rattled off non sequitors like nobody's business?
I've heard I have nice eyes. You don't like red?
Is it because I awkwardly handed you my phone number as if it might be nice if you called, but only slightly more nice than hearing from Ed McMahon in the mail? Should I have blown some more shitbreath in your face while asking for your number?
Are you saying that I didn't impress you with the book which I punchdrunkenly confessed that I only carried so I would look smart? The book was even called "The Idiot." That's what we English minors call "Irony."
Was it the story of my horrible digestion problems in India? Isn't Delhi Belly sexy?
The beer smell on my luggage?
My attempts to express my admiration of you by saying "Yeah, that's really cool. I really think that's cool. That's just... cool," and then staring off into space because my brain just ceased all electrical activity due to the lack of sleep and sheer aggravation of spending a good part of the day waiting on the tarmac for the rain to clear up?
Well... I'm sitting here, hoping you might call. I'd wish I could ask for a chance to make an improvement on the first impression by making for you a nice greek salad and some whole wheat sourdough bread, but when I got home I realized I'd forgotton to take out the trash, and I now have several generations of fruit flies on every surface in my house. How's your place?
So... if my phone number didn't make it's way permanently into your trash can, I'd still love to get the chance to make a new friend in you. I promise I'll shower next time.

"Technology... is a queer thing. It brings you great gifts with one hand, and it stabs you in the back with the other."
"While Dorothy was looking earnestly into the queer, painted face of the Scarecrow, she was surprised to see one of the eyes slowly wink at her. She thought she must have been mistaken at first, for none of the scarecrows in Kansas ever wink; but presently the figure nodded its way down from the fence and walked up to it, while Toto ran around the pole and barked."
"Isn't it queer: there are only two or three human stories, and they go on repeating themselves as fiercely as if they had never happened before; like the larks in this country that have been singing the same five notes over for thousands of years"
"`How pleasant to know Mr Lear!' / Who has written such volumes of stuff ! / Some think him ill-tempered and queer, / But a few think him pleasant enough."
"Were it not for the presence of the unwashed and the half-educated, the formless, queer and incomplete, the unreasonable and absurd, the infinite shapes of the delightful human tadpole, the horizon would not wear so wide a grin."

The study looked at both the locations of drug incidents and where drug offenders lived in order to explore factors that bring residents from one neighborhood into other neighborhoods to engage in drug-related activities. This study was based on data collected for the 224 census tracts in Cleveland, Ohio, in the 1990 decennial Census for the years 1990 to 1997 and 1999 to 2001. Data on drug crimes for 1990 to 1997 and 1999 to 2001 were obtained from Cleveland Police Department (CPD) arrest records and used to produce counts of the number of drug offenses that occurred in each tract in each year and the number of arrestees for drug offenses who lived in each tract. Other variables include counts and rates of other crimes committed in each census tract in each year, the social characteristics and housing conditions of each census tract, and net migration for each census tract. 3929 http://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR03929.v1 06-17-2004 administrative records data census/enumeration data survey data Administrative records data were obtained from the Cleveland Police Department, Cleveland Municipal School District, Cuyahoga County Juvenile Court, Cuyahoga County Auditor's Office, and the Ohio Department of Health.

LeMay is a contestant in the National Guitar Center's second annual Singer/Songwriter Competition. And although a video for LeMay's original song "Molly, My Girl" has been entered in the contest, it is his friends and family members -- and their friends and family members -- that will aid LeMay is clearing the first stage of the contest.
"The Guitar Center is a national music store chain," said LeMay. "(The contest is) basically the search for the next big American singer-songwriter. The winner of the competition gets to make a record with a Grammy-winning record producer from Los Angeles, John Shanks. He has done records with Bon Jovi and Alanis Morissette. And the winner gets to do a live performance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!'"
LeMay learned about the contest from last year's winner.
"An acquaintance of mine from Nashville actually won it last year," said LeMay. "And so I thought, 'Maybe I'll try it next year.' It is online-based. The first round of the competition is based on new online fans. All it really means is whoever can get the most fans in a certain amount of time wins."
And that time is running short, with the end of the contest slated on Sunday, Dec. 23.
"I had to make a video to put on Youtube and enter all information on my Twitter page, Facebook page and online media outlets," said LeMay, who then is charged with promoting the video and his social media pages to draw new fans. "Then, the competition keeps up with your new fans, your new followers and your new Facebook likes. They chart that and whoever has the most by midnight on Dec. 23 goes to the second round."
LeMay said the top 140 contestants -- the ones who have the most fans by the end of the first round -- move on to the next stage of the competition. In the second round, those top 140 videos are reviewed by a panel of judges, with the top 10 chosen to perform live in Los Angeles for Round 3 of the competition.
"Right now there are 3,153 in the competition," said LeMay, who said he currently rests in 318th place with 425 fans. "The person who is at the cutoff for Round 2 right now has 1,873 fans. That kind of puts it in perspective. I'm really grateful for the hometown that I have and for all the support that I have gotten in my life. As important as that is, it would be so amazing if (those people) would encourage as many of their friends as they can ... post a link to a friend's wall, retweet my Twitter, like my video on Youtube. ... I know it's a lot to ask, but that's what it will take right now."
LeMay wrote "Molly, My Girl" for his wife. The couple celebrated their first wedding anniversary on Tuesday, Dec. 18.
"It is a song that I wrote about my girlfriend," said LeMay. "She is my wife, now, but I didn't know we were going to get married at the time. It's just a fun song. We shot the video on our farm (in Dyersburg) out in the woods and it turned out really, really good.
"I'll be honest," continued LeMay. "I am really aware that there are a ton of people in this contest. There are a lot of people out there that are better at promoting themselves, much better than me about getting the word out. (And) the first round is not based on songwriting ability. It's not about the song, it's about getting the most fans."
Local fans can help LeMay in his quest by becoming fans in the following platforms:
* video link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ml-SQbjO...
(or search Joseph LeMay Molly My Girl on YouTube.
* Facebook link - www.facebook.com/josephlemaymusic
* Twitter link - www.twitter.com/josephlemay, (twitter handle is @josephlemay)
* Soundcloud link - www.soundcloud.com/josephlemay
* Vimeo link - http://vimeo.com/53164987
* Myspace link: www.myspace.com/josephlemay
"I don't get any points for this unless people 'like' the video," said LeMay. "I need as many votes as possible! Each one of the things above gets me one point, so if 100 people did all of these I'd get 600 votes. If 400 people do all of these things for me I'd get 2400 votes. Then if each of them got one more person to do all six voting things about, just think of the possibilities!"

GPS Device Helps Police Nab Graffiti Taggers
GPS Device Helps Police Nab Graffiti Taggers
Pico Rivera, Calif., a small city east of Los Angeles, has always had a major problem with graffiti.
But catching the taggers in the act has been a challenge — until recently.
Local police have started using GPS-enabled digital cameras to take pictures of the graffiti. The images help authorities track down taggers and can predict where they may strike next.

My ex and I divorced back in 2009. I thought the whole thing was finalized because I got the rest of my check back from the lawyer. Well today I am in class and I get this weird number on my cell. Come to find out its from my lawyers office saying I have a court date October 18th for dismissal. WTF does this mean? I tried calling the lawyers office and of course no one answers.
Mysterious court date? Update pg 3
Divorce proceedings are so different in different jurisdictions. It could just be a final decree being entered and removing the case from the docket OR your attorney screwed up. Either way doesn't sound like you are really divorced yet.
I also didn't go in front of a judge for my divorce (in NY). It was a simple, uncontested divorce and I paid about $800 which included court costs. I went to an awesome place owned by lawyers and run by paralegals. They did everything I just had to show up a couple of times to sign papers.
But OP that doesn't sound right. Do you have a divorce decree?
12 years, multiple losses, finally one beautiful son.
Hoping to add another through fostering!
I never had to appear for my divorce.
"Tighter than a Chinese fingertrap."
I just fart taco-ed. For real, I did.
Likely you divorce was never actually finalized (papers weren't sent to court, final hearing not set if needed, etc) so the case has just been pending since then with no action.
Someone from the court finally noticed that your case has had no action in years and set it for a dismissal docket. If your attorney (or you) dont show up on that date I bet your divorce petition will be dismissed and you will have to file again.

Crews began milling away surface pavement Tuesday along State Road 9 between State Road 46 and the Bartholomew-Shelby County line.
Milling operations will continue through Friday, according to the Indiana Department of Transportation.
Flaggers are on site to direct traffic around advancing work sites.
Today, a motorpaver will begin laying a ¾-inch asphalt overlay on the 8.5-mile section of State Road 9, starting at the State Road 46 intersection near Columbus.
Indiana Department of Transportation officials urge motorists to drive with caution as construction trucks move in and out of areas where milling and paving activities are in progress.

Fallout Sniper Rifle WIP4 by HypercatsWatch
©2011-2016 Hypercats
Almost finished with the Nerf Fallout New Vegas Sniper Rifle. Just have to add a piece of 1x2 and screw the bipod to it. The Longstrike had way too many nice little details that wanted to be accented with copper, silver, or gold paint.
Can i ask what nerf gun u used and what u added to it to make it look like this? I would buy it but u wouldnt want that probly so i want to make one i might do chinese stealth armor from fallout possibly to go with this help plz?... Plz itd mean the world to me..
Teach me oh Great and Powerful one!
Check out my blog www.hypercats.net for more tips, and my youtube page www.youtube.com/user/TheHyperc… for some video tutorials! I've been super busy since April, but I'm hoping to get more photos, videos, and tutorials up soon.
WOW! That is epic! i would buy it if it were for sale. how long did it take you to make that?
Not too long, the hardest part was cutting the rings and gluing everything together. It's definitely not something I'd want to reproduce, since I used PVC and bondo and the front half of the gun ends up being heavier than the back half. Wait till the new Nerf Centurion sniper rifle comes out in December, that'll be easier to mod to look like the Fallout sniper rifle.
Honestly I would be willing to buy this... You should do I run of them, there amazing! or you could make a second one but tell me how much it will cost before you make it. I'm in uk btw
Yeah I might try to make a better barrel attachment. The PVC I used is VERY heavy, and it wouldn't be worth the time to try to do it again with PVC. I already have substitutes for the Nerf scope, so it's possible that I could revisit this one.
I'm very interested in the sniper :3 you should make another try and make it better as you see fit and maybe see it :3
The copper/silver details look great.
Thanks! I know there isn't any detail like that on the Fallout rifle, but those little bits were too nice to just cover up and not highlight.
Nice, man.

I know that I haven't found time to post to the site for ages, but it is largely because I've been concentrating on my own writing, and life in general. So today, some writing "craft" words. Some time back, I wrote a post on literary devices and techniques that bestselling writers often incorporate in their novels. At the time, I meant to go on and do a second post, and maybe even a … [Read more...]

Return on Investment Where Best to Splash Your Advertising Cash
Every now and again, I reach a point of total disillusion with my book sales. In the past, this has usually resulted in a knee-jerk reaction to either raise or lower prices, to hit the relevant permitted "spam" threads of all of those sites I frequent, and to tweet up a storm, usually with negligible effect. However, since I released Cruxim, I have been trying to work to a broader … [Read more...]
Looking back on 2012; forecasting for 2013
As 2012 is done and dusted, I thought it would be an opportune time to reflect on some of the challenges independently published authors faced in the year just past, and to make some basic predictions about how things might continue to change in 2013 and how indie authors might capitalise on opportunities that arise. Bear in mind that I first self-published via Smashwords and Kindle … [Read more...]
Want to Be Popular? First step: visibility
We all know that if we want our books to sell, and sell well, it pays to make sure that we're somewhere in the visible range on Amazon. The problem is, that's harder than it sounds!

The Indie Author Stigma The stink of excellence and independence

To Hell and Back: Q&A with Filmmaker Kevin Miller, Part 2
As my friend Ron Dart says, every point of view reveals some things and conceals others. The problem is, we fall so in love with what our perspective reveals that we completely forget about potential blind spots. Because of their circumstances, people in the past could see things in the Bible that we can't. But they were completely oblivious to other elements. The same is true today. Thanks to globalization, the Internet, quantum physics, increased longevity and so on, we have a perspective on the Bible and other areas of life unrivalled in the history of the world. It's only natural that this perspective would cause us to question inherited orthodoxies. This isn't something to be feared; it's just the way life is. Thomas Kuhn is most famous for his book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, in which he argued that science proceeds primarily through a series of paradigm-shifting revolutions rather than mere incremental gains in knowledge. I think theology proceeds in much the same way.
This is a fearful thought for many people, because it seems to place notions of universal truth or objective reality in jeopardy. I disagree. All it does is acknowledge that our perspective on reality will always be limited and imperfect. So we should welcome them, because there's no way we can figure things out on our own. We need to listen to those who have gone before us, and we need to listen to people today who vehemently disagree with us, because it's likely they're seeing something we are missing. We run into trouble when our identity becomes so wrapped up with our point of view that we see new information as a threat rather than an opportunity. I realize this is infinitely more difficult if you believe the eternal fate of billions is riding on your interpretation of the Bible. Thankfully, I'm not burdened by such a belief. I believe we are all in good hands -- God's hands.
What was the hardest thing about making your film?
Maintaining diplomatic relations with people whose position on hell differs from mine. I felt like I was on thin ice with several interview subjects who might pull the plug the minute they realized I didn't share their views, because many people aren't interested in dialogue or having their views critiqued. They're out there saving people from hell, so anyone who gets in the way of that is essentially hindering the progress of the gospel. It's not that I have a hard time with people who disagree with me; it's just that such people tend to view people like me as public enemy number one. It's one thing to have someone outside the camp question your beliefs; it's quite another thing to have someone on the "inside" start asking uncomfortable questions -- especially in public.
Did your own thinking about hell change in the course of making the film?
Going into this project, I think it's fair to say I knew a lot more about the theological landscape on this topic than your average Christian. However, nothing prepared me for the wholesale transformation of my views that has occurred over the past couple of years. I'm not just talking about my views on hell, I'm talking about everything -- God, the Bible, death, violence -- you name it. It's been the most liberating experience of my life. And it's far from over! I realize many people will call me a heretic after watching this film. Some already have. Ironically, I've never considered the Bible, the gospel, Jesus, and being a Christian so important. I truly believe I have discovered "deep wisdom from the dawn of time," and I never shut up about it. I've never been so biblical, Christological, and evangelistic in my beliefs. If that makes me a heretic, I guess I'll have to learn to embrace that label.

Bryant Cottage
Bryant Cottage was built in 1856 by Francis E. Bryant (1818-1889), a friend and political ally of Senator Stephen A. Douglas. According to Bryant family tradition, on the evening of July 29, 1858, Douglas and Abraham Lincoln conferred in the parlor of this house to plan the famous Lincoln-Douglas Debates. The picturesque one-story, four-room wood frame cottage has been "restored" and is interpreted as an example of a middle-class life in mid-nineteenth-century Illinois. The furniture on display is of the Renaissance Revival style, appropriate for a small-town family of the mid-nineteenth century. The cottage is accessible to persons with disabilities. The site hosts portions of a variety of locally sponsored events throughout the year.

The Food Bank of Central and Eastern Carolina located in Greenville, serves about 100,000 people through more than 140 food pantries in 10 counties. Though the food bank had a successful Thanksgiving, food bank operations manager Larry Motteler is looking ahead, and says the need for donations is as great as ever. Motteler says when it comes to giving food to needy families, there's no such thing as too much. He says for Christmas, in addition to popular items such as canned meat, cereal and produce, the bank is eagerly accepting frozen turkeys and hams.

Afghanistan Dispatch
Kabul's Neon Wedding Halls
Photographs by David Gilkey, NPR staff photographer
When we show these photographs to NPR colleagues, nearly every one of them gasps. Perhaps that's because they're not images of detonated car bombs or ink-stained fingers or any of the other images we've come to expect out of Afghanistan.
Hide captionThe wedding hall industry is booming in Afghanistan. Seven years ago, there were only a handful of wedding halls in the city. Today, there are more than seventy. This poster of a woman is on a street filled with wedding halls in Kabul.All photos by David Gilkey/NPR

Hide captionThe weddings all have elaborate names such as Wedding Hall of the Evening Star, Kabul Paris Wedding Hall and Aria Five Star Wedding Hall.

Perhaps our colleagues are gasping because these images present an arresting display of neon lights, bright enough to rival Las Vegas. Or maybe this gasping comes with the realization that Afghans party too. Hard.
Whatever the reason, the most surprising thing about David Gilkey's photographs taken on a warm July evening in Kabul — is that they introduce us to something that has become wonderfully ordinary in Afghanistan.
Each week, thousands of people attend weddings in Afghan wedding halls. Young people. Old people. Children. They dress up. They dance. (Men and women party separately.) They feast. They laugh. These celebrations last well in to the night.
And all this is happening — in the midst of war.

Comments about Men's Lukla Pro Waterproof Lightweight Hiker:
I typically wear a size 13 shoe in every other brand. I found these a tad bit short like many of the Eddie Bauer shoes lately. Unfortunately for me the 14's were too large, so I'm trying to make the 13's work. Just a heads up that I found them to run a half size small.
Comments about Men's Lukla Pro Waterproof Lightweight Hiker:
Great value on sale, comfortable right out of the box

Comments about Men's Lukla Pro Waterproof Lightweight Hiker:
These hikers are an excellent quality that reminds me of older North Face shoes. The are slightly narrow in the toe area. You'll want to bump up a 1/2 from what the suggested size is (there's a way to trace your foot that's suggested if you look for sizing on the Eddie Bauer website). Overall though, these are a great hiking shoe!

For most of the twentieth century the most salient features of the international political-economy have been the chiaroscuro of international conflict and the panorama of economic growth. Any connections between them, suggested occasionally by observers since at least Aristotle, have seemed vague, intermittent, and probably situation-specific. Following centuries of epistemological tradition, modern analysts continue to note, and orthodox economic and political-scientific theories allow, some mildly causal, or at least stimulative, relationship between economic growth and international conflict. "Economic objectives, resources, and instruments of foreign policy have always been significant elements in the struggles between political groups." 1 Beyond broad aphorisms and intuitive assertions of this sort, and occasional interesting speculations about human nature, orthodoxy has simply accepted that some natural relationship exists between economic growth and international conflict. Secure within their own disciplines, historians, economists, and political scientists have largely ignored the cross-disciplinary question of how and why such a relationship works, or even what it is.
Beyond the obvious insight that there seem to be some parallels between politics and economics, between conflict and growth, or between trade and war, neither empiricism nor theory has produced general explanations of what those relationships are, or how they work. Only by combining, selecting, or compromising among various sets of data and integrating convenient bits of various theories has orthodoxy been able even to approach a weak, ambiguous, highly conditional generality, the same that was deduced three millennia ago by Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle (see sources in Notes to Chapter 2): growth could sometimes lead to war.
The ancients and the classicists seem to have been comfortable with this sort of vapid, ambiguous separation between the essential processes of international relations. Contemporary analysts and decision-makers, however, need more in confronting political-economic realities that confound traditional

Memphis hasn't heard this kind of shrieking from royal fans since the king — Elvis, that is — lived in town.
This time around, it's British royalty holding court. Prince William, the second in line to the throne, and his younger brother, Prince Harry flew across the pond and hit Tennessee to attend the swanky wedding of a good friend this weekend.
The two princes stopped in downtown Memphis on Thursday night to enjoy some barbecue at famed restaurant Rendezvous, where they met up with the groom-to-be, Guy Pelly. The London nightclub owner arrived with his fiancée, Holiday Inn heiress Lizzy Wilson.
Outside the eatery, fans gathered to get a glimpse of the royal duo.
"What are the chances that they would show up while we're here?" said an excited Diana Pajewski, who was visiting from Detroit. "Maybe they knew we were coming."
Both princes traveled solo. William came without his wife, Duchess Kate, while Harry recently split from his longtime girlfriend, Cressida Bonas.
The wedding reportedly will be held at the exclusive Memphis Hunt and Polo Club, although details of the event have been kept under wraps in what was being called the city's worst-kept secret.
"I cannot officially confirm this visit," Memphis Mayor A.C. Wharton, Jr., said, although he acknowledged his city is no stranger to "royalty."
"The queen of soul, Aretha (Franklin) was born in our city," he noted, adding the "King of Rock," Elvis Presley, and the "King of Blues," BB King, also have called Memphis home.

I always was told to take out multiple properties in your css that you use more then once, and add them all in one rule. Like below. (please excuse the poor example)
I always seen this:
.button, .list, .items { color: #444; }
With multiple rules, can't that leave a lot of clutter?
Only in css tutorials and examples Ive seen this:
.someColor { color: #444; }
And in the css, just add another class of '.sameColor'. (div class="button someColor")
I've never seen this and feels like it would leave less clutter in your CSS. Would this be okay? Or do you think it could leave with more clutter in your HTML ?

We all know it - this is the reading that lists the changes brought by each new version of our favorite software. Whenever it comes bundled as a file (Changes.txt, CHANGES, WhatsNew.txt, etc) or is presented within an installer this is usually the first thing we read before installing/updating.
On a current project we have a Changelog.txt file that gets updated by hand every time a notable change occurs. However this often leads to "I forgot to update the changelog". So I am looking for a way to automate this.
I am thinking of a script that extracts the changes from our commit messages (using a convention) and generates the file. For example a commit message like
Updated json-glib to 0.7.6
- Fix crash on Windows
- Fix issues with facebook contacts with very large UIDs.
Would produce the following Changes.txt
Version 1.9.18 (03/10/2010)
- Fix crash on Windows
- Fix issues with facebook contacts with very large UIDs.
Does anyone know a better solution/tool for this or am I going to write my own?

Tonight, for the first and only time before they choose a new president, the University of Colorado's nine regents will sit down with the sole finalist for the job.
They will get to ask their questions, see what their chemistry is like with him and generally try to figure out whether Bruce Benson is the man who should lead CU into the future.
And the meeting will be closed to the public.
Citing personnel exemptions to Colorado's open meetings law, the regents will meet privately with Benson to vet him for the presidency of the four-campus system.
"I guess it has more to do with history than anything else," said Regent Tom Lucero. "It's been as open . . . as conceivably possible."
Regent Stephen Ludwig said it was a private job interview.
- Read the letter to the CU Regents.
"How we interact in private, that's an important insight that we would miss in a public meeting," he said.
None of those reasons are adequate excuses for closing the meeting, said Chantell Taylor, director of Colorado Ethics Watch, especially given that Benson was chosen as the only finalist for the job in a closed session.
"I think this is continuing this process of a lack of transparency," Taylor said. "It begs the question what they're hiding and why they're unwilling to conduct these sessions in a public forum."
The point, Regent chair Patricia Hayes said, is to protect the candidate.
"The board is the board, it's the protection of the candidate," she said.
Benson, though, did not request that the meeting be private, said Ken McConnellogue, CU spokesman.
Regent Paul Schauer said they "may as well" do it in the open.
"I don't think I'll discuss anything that I haven't discussed in the open," he said. "It doesn't make any difference to me. . . . But I'm only one vote."

Naked Summer Rae
Since Summer Rae is being given more television time by WWE, more and more people are using search engines to try to find naked photos of the blonde bombshell. Non professional wrestling fans are getting in the act as well because she has been doing the mainstream media tour to promote the upcoming The Marine 4 movie that she filmed with Miz. The added exposure has increased curiosity towards Summer, and that's a good thing.

We have some very strange national food holidays, for sure. The lima bean has its day today, as the weather hovers a little bit past stick-to-your-rib, bean-filled comfort food but nowhere near fresh bean season. As these things are usually determined by marketing and industry lobbies, I wonder about the lima bean consortium's agenda... Why now?
Don't confuse lima beans with butter beans, though the Brits do all the time. Limas are green and small and toothy, like favas, but far less fun. Lima beans are one of the main ingredients in succotash, and I do wish I had some of that right now. The Kingfish Cafe serves succotash, as does Rowdy Cowgirl BBQ, though for some reason they use edamame in it. Anyone know where to find some good succotash?
Fun fact about lima beans: Did you know eating as little as a half cup of these raw can seriously mess you up? They contain a compound that is an offshoot of cyanide and toxic when uncooked. (Fava beans have a similar characteristic.)

Douglas County sheriff's deputies are investigating several guns found on campus at Chaparral High School in Parker today.
The faculty received a tip and school district and law enforcement "acted swiftly," but did not find credible threats toward the school or other students, said Sgt. Ron Hanavan, a spokesman for the sheriff's department.
He said the vehicle in the school lot belonged to a student, but declined to say how many guns, what kind of guns they were or why the student had them there.
"We're just saying 'guns' at this point," Hanavan said this afternoon. "Everything else is still under investigation."
