God Laughs When You Die, by Michael Boatman
Book Review by Adrienne Jones
Have you read this book?
Michael Boatman can string words together. The question is, should he?
d Laughs When You Die
is a heinous little collection of short stories that manage to both confuse and disgust. His style, if that's what you can call it, is all over the place, and never seems to decide what it wants to be.
The biggest let down is not that these stories are the suckiest bunch of suck that ever sucked, but that the
start out incredibly clever. In a world where horror fiction regurgitates the same old themes, Boatman seems to take great pains in finding a unique story angle. His ideas; a demonic obese child on a daytime sleaze show, killer mermaids, extraterrestrial microorganisms, intrigue and draw you in...but then he drops the ball in a pile of dog crap.
Boatman writes like a hyperactive nine-year-old with attention deficit disorder, seeming to lose track of where he was halfway through the story. It's as though he loses patience with his own storytelling skill, distracted by a shiny puddle of intestines or otherwise opulent gore, which he then gleefully splashes all over the story, whether it makes sense of not. Ears are ripped off; murdered women come back from the dead, drug dealers dish out sexual torture, none of which are particularly over the top plotlines for a horror story. But Boatman's delivery feels forced, scraping the bottom of the grubbiest barrel he can find with every character, bit of dialogue, and choice of plot progression, going for shock without style.
If there is a positive comment to be made about this collection, it would have to be said that Michael Boatman shows 'promise' as a writer. But for now, he simply promises a good story then doesn't deliver. Perhaps Boatman needs Ritalin, or perhaps he's simply having fun slinging mud pies all over his half finished canvases and stomping on his own sandcastles. There are worse things.

I would have taken this review seriously if it didn't include ridiculous quotes as "suckiest bunch of suck that ever sucked", somehow manages to fit it dog crap and compares the writer to a 9 year old with ADD. Towards the end it shows that the reviewer does have a lot of writing skill and knows what she's talking about but a review completely loses its legitimacy when it includes nonsense terms as I said above.
Posted by Adrienne on 2/14/2008
Wow! There's a lot of love in this room. This is my review, and someone just alerted me to these comments. Normally I'd ignore them, but this was a unique case. After reading this book, and obviously not liking it, I contacted the publisher and offered to use my own money to mail the review copy back, as my review would only be one star, and that wouldn't serve any purpose for anyone. The publisher asked me to go ahead with the review, and that if I was going to make it bad, to make it over the top, because often a scathing review can garner as much attention as a good one. clearly, Tim knew what he was talking about, as evidenced here. So no, I do not have a 'vendetta' against the author, I don't know him and had never read his work before this.
Posted by Cal on 2/7/2008
This review DOES talk about the stories, you nitwits, and the style of the collection. A reviewer can hate a book without having a personal vendetta against the author.
Posted by Pete on 12/1/2007
Actually, in response to the last comment, reviews (on this site) are supposed to be about the book -- and this one does in fact let me know what I need to know about this book, giving me some info on what the stories are about in the second and third paragraphs -- I don't need a play by play -- and then telling me this a badly written book. The reviewer is telling you exactly what to expect from this book -- her comments are about the writer's style.
In response to other comments -- the manner in which this is done is up to the author of the review, but I don't see anything mean-spirited in this review. Frustration from the reader/reviewer? Sure. Check several of our other reviews -- it can be frustrating to read a book with good ideas and poor execution.
Posted by Jim Stratton on 11/29/2007
Sorry, but I fail to see how this is a review. A review is supposed to be about the stories, not the author. I don't care what the reviewer's opinion of the author is, that's immaterial. I want to know about the stories. And this review does not provide this.
Posted by Bill Ward on 11/26/2007
Is it not possible to give a negative review without such mean-spirited and crass attempts at humor at the author's expense? I suggest that there are better ways to communicate a point than comparing an author to a hyperactive child, and such invective completely undermines whatever legitimate criticism may be presented here.
Posted by crystalwizard on 11/26/2007
I'm not overly impressed with the review, especially since the reviewer seems to have gone out of her way to blast the author. Makes me wonder if she has something against him personally.

Understanding the Linux Kernel
"O'Reilly Media, Inc.", 17 nov. 2005 - 944 pages
In order to thoroughly understand what makes Linux tick and why it works so well on a wide variety of systems, you need to delve deep into the heart of the kernel. The kernel handles all interactions between the CPU and the external world, and determines which programs will share processor time, in what order. It manages limited memory so well that hundreds of processes can share the system efficiently, and expertly organizes data transfers so that the CPU isn't kept waiting any longer than necessary for the relatively slow disks.
The third edition of Understanding the Linux Kernel takes you on a guided tour of the most significant data structures, algorithms, and programming tricks used in the kernel. Probing beyond superficial features, the authors offer valuable insights to people who want to know how things really work inside their machine. Important Intel-specific features are discussed. Relevant segments of code are dissected line by line. But the book covers more than just the functioning of the code; it explains the theoretical underpinnings of why Linux does things the way it does.
This edition of the book covers Version 2.6, which has seen significant changes to nearly every kernel subsystem, particularly in the areas of memory management and block devices. The book focuses on the following topics:
Understanding the Linux Kernel will acquaint you with all the inner workings of Linux, but it's more than just an academic exercise. You'll learn what conditions bring out Linux's best performance, and you'll see how it meets the challenge of providing good system response during process scheduling, file access, and memory management in a wide variety of environments. This book will help you make the most of your Linux system.

Melos are slept on and get shit for looking too much like 28's but the YOTH, BHM, and these( fingers crossed they release ) are fire IMO
January 26, 2014 BY Brendan Dunne / 11
Coinciding with tonight's Grammy awards is the debut of these new "award-season inspired" Jordans. The group features the Air Jordan XX8 SE and the Jordan Melo M10-two sneakers that have plenty of overlap in architecture thanks to the Flight Plate technology that's utilized across the bottom. For now they're marked as player exclusives, but there's no info regarding which players in Jordan Brand's roster might have been given pairs (We'd say Drake is as good a candidate as any given how much his name is bound to come up during the night's ceremonies). Continue reading for a full look and let us know if you're feeling these "Award Season" Jordans.

Feel the beat of a completely new Donkey Kong adventure as you drum your way through vast jungle kingdoms!
Game Storyline: With the aid of simian pals like Hoofer, Flurl and other jungle animals, Donkey Kong must square off with all kinds of evil apes, warthogs and giant birds as he reclaims his bananas.
Characters: Donkey Kong, little monkey pals, animal friends (Hoofer the wildebeest, Orco the killer whale), evil apes, angry warthogs.
How to progress through the game: Run, jump, swim, battle, swing on vines and collect bananas as you explore beautiful side-scrolling environments that span volcano caves, snowy peaks and fantastic skyscapes. You'll also have to hitch rides on parrots and killer whales, bounce off pinball-like obstacles and battle tons of bizarre enemies! By linking together moves to build up combo strings, you can collect more and more bananas. The more you collect, the better; you can earn bronze, silver, gold and platinum crests on each level, and collecting crests will open up more and more levels.
Special powers/weapons/moves/features: When the player claps, Donkey Kong emits sound waves that can stun enemies, grab bananas or even help him activate things. By tapping the drums correctly, you can make Donkey Kong jump off walls, kick items, twirl through the air, ride animals, swim through water, pound the ground, spar with apes and giant warthogs and many other things. A friend can even help you play the game by clapping at the appropriate times!

Hartford — The mental health status of Adam Lanza, who murdered 26 people at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14, will not be public information anytime soon, said Danbury Assistant State's Attorney Stephen J. Sedensky at the governor's first Sandy Hook Advisory Commission meeting on Thursday.
But the commission is tasked with providing advice on mental health, gun control and school safety to the governor by March 15.
"It may be challenging, but I think we have enough information to still make credible public policy evaluations," said Scott Jackson, commission chairman and mayor of Hamden.
School safety and gun control will likely be addressed early on, he said. Mental health issues, however, are more complex and will require more time. But this complexity didn't stop multiple commission members from questioning experts from Columbine High School and Virginia Tech about how they addressed mental illness in the wake of the shootings there.
Outpatient commitment, in which someone living in the community is required to seek treatment, was discussed along with stronger mental health checks during gun background checks.
Richard Bonnie, director of the Institute of Law, Psychiatry and Public Policy at the University of Virginia, answered many commission members' questions about how outpatient commitment, known as "mandatory outpatient treatment" in Virginia, worked. Connecticut is one of six states in the country that do not have any type of outpatient commitment.
Bonnie was also a former member of the Virginia Tech Review Panel, which was formed after the 2007 Virginia Tech shooting where 32 people were murdered.
The shooter, Seung-Hui Cho, had actually been assigned to "mandatory outpatient treatment" before the shooting.
"As you know and probably everybody knows, there was no follow-up, and Cho never really reported to the counseling center at (Virginia) Tech, and that was one of the missed opportunities to intervene," Bonnie said.
Another problem besides lack of enforcement is lack of funding, he said.
"The issue is, you have to have resources," he said, adding later, "You can't successfully implement mandatory outpatient treatment unless you begin to work on the gaps in the services system."
Commission member Kathleen M. Flaherty, staff attorney for Statewide Legal Services of Connecticut, said she spoke out in opposition of outpatient commitment when a bill for it came up last year.
Flaherty said she brought to the panel personal experience of living with bipolar disorder.
She said she would rather see the state look at advanced directives, which means people are encouraged to seek out treatment on their own instead of being pushed into treatment. It would be similar to a living will, she said. People would list what type of medication they were willing to take and treatment they were willing to receive, she said.
"I don't know how they think forcing people into mandatory treatment, when they can't serve people who voluntarily seek help, will work," she said. "It will be interesting to see how that plays out."
Former Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter, who also was a member of the Columbine Review Commission, repeatedly mentioned the intersection of mental illness and guns at the meeting Thursday. Thirteen people died in the 1999 Columbine High School shooting.
"I think mental health background checks as part of gun background checks should be strengthened across the country at a minimum," Ritter said.
Flaherty said she didn't have a problem with background checks, but that there are times when the two issues — mental health and gun control — are separate.
"Sometimes, people who are violent do have a mental illness diagnosis, but that doesn't mean that every person is," she said. Labeling everyone with a mental illness as violent is stigmatizing and discriminating, she said.
The state needs a health system that makes mental health services accessible and de-stigmatizes mental illness, Flaherty said.

How to export docker containers for transparent development.
People are using VMs for local test more and more. The VMs are usually accessed by IP. Most likely laptops running the VM will be carried to different places, whether home, office or starbucks. Hence the wifi changes all the time. So the IPs of latop and VM change as well.
Quite natural we want the VM to have a fixed IP, thus we don't need to check current ip of the VM all the time. So how to do that?
How to do code build? What things we need to pay special attentions to? Here are my thoughts and sharing.
How to write a linux initscript? You have implemented a daemon service. Now you may want everyone in the project can easily manage the service without extra communication. The standard way would be "service $service_name start/stop/status". Another thing, no one would enjoy starting service manually, when the machine is rebooted. Here are things you shall need to know or watch out to get above done.
To secure critical backup remotely, we can use S3 bucket. Here is a bash script to sync a directory to/from a S3 bucket.
I have a lot of Questions about AWS, which the official AWS document doesn't seem to address them clearly. Take a look, if you're interested. I'd like to listen and learn from you as always.
Glad to announce I'm now a certified AWS Certified Solution Architect – Associate. It took me around 2 weeks for preparation, all at my spare time. I believe the certifications will benefit professionals working primarily in Cloud industry.
I put up a problem set based on my prep notes. Hopefully it can help those who are interested in taking the tests.

We don't plan to share this with anyone but our close friends, however if we can use this kit I'll be adding a credits-in-title screen and within the end credits :)
It should be possible to add it to Essentials. In fact, thinking about it previously I figured that it would probably just need some small edits to be compatible with the way Essentials sets up the player, and the slight change in naming conventions for stuff regarding the tilemap (that would probably only require a line or two of code to fix though). I may look into it eventually. Aside from those two things, it should otherwise work fine, since the scripts were created to be independent and can more or less just be copied from HMTK to wherever (though other custom scripts might conflict with it). I may see about working on that hopefully soon. Haven't had time to do any development for weeks because of my job.

Trabajando Por El Futuro Group
34-year old Zenobia fits into the latter category. She is married, has two children, and is the group's treasurer. She runs a small grocery store out of her house and plans to use the money to buy more merchandise such as yogurt, juice, soft drinks, and cookies. As well as running the store, she delivers bread in the mornings.
Zenobia and her husband work very hard and as a result have managed to buy a car which they use to provide a local taxi service. Her husband is responsible for paying for the children's education and food, while Zenobia is responsible for expenses such as electricity, water, telephone etc. She would love to buy a bigger vehicle, and this is one of the couple's goals.
In the photograph you can see the group members during the time of loan distribution in EDAPROSPERO's office. Some of their young children are also present. The two members on the extreme right and left have brought their mothers along.
Additional Information
About EDAPROSPOEDAPROSPO seeks to use micro-credit to foster productive commercial activity for the sake of economic and social development within vulnerable urban and rural sectors traditionally neglected by commercial banks. By offering innovative products such as technical education loans and microfinance groups for young people, EDAPROSPO helps disadvantaged Peruvians lift themselves out of poverty.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Heidi Klum: Model
Heidi Klum carries her baby teeth with her in a pouch. "They're good luck charms, "she explains. Of course, luck has had little to do with the 5'9½" supermodel's success. It was her luminescent grin ("My smile is my favorite thing," she says) and voluptuous figure ("I have woman hips") that led to the cover of the 1998 SPORTS ILLUSTRATED swimsuit issue and a contract with Victoria's Secret. "So many models have that hard look, and I think, 'What are they mad about?' " says Ed Razek, the lingerie retailer's creative director. "With Heidi you never get that. Her joie de vivre is infectious." Growing up in Bergisch Gladbach, Germany, Klum, 27, got an early introduction to the beauty biz. Her father, Gunther, 5)5, worked for a cosmetics company, and her mother, Erna, also 56, was a hairdresser. Three years ago she brought another hairdresser into the family by marrying celebrity stylist Ric Pipino, 42, with whom she lives in Manhattan and Cologne, (jaermany. Pipino occasionally takes charge of (lis wife's hair. "I'm trying to get her to try different colors," he says. "But she's like, 'No, no, no, I can't do that!' " There are some risks .Jflum will take. In 1997, for her first appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman, Klum worried she wouldn't be a funny enough guest. "Ric came up with the idea that I should just yodel, and I did," she explains. That skill might come in handy again someday. "I would love to do a movie with Jim Carrey," says Klum, who this year appeared in the comedy Blow Dry. "Something where we just have fun and make faces."

Nitty Gritty's McEuen Returns For Summer Tour
Founding Nitty Gritty Dirt Band member John McEuen will reunite with the enduring country rock band for a handful of summer tour dates, as well as a fall Canadian tour supporting Alabama. The multi-inFounding Nitty Gritty Dirt Band member John McEuen will reunite with the enduring country rock band for a handful of summer tour dates, as well as a fall Canadian tour supporting Alabama. The multi-instrumentalist will round out a lineup the features fellow founding members Jeff Hanna and Jimmie Fadden, and longtime members Jimmy Ibbotson and Bob Carpenter.
The summer dates kick off July 2 in Ashland, Ky., and last through July 28 in Dubuque, Iowa. The dates with Alabama begin Sept. 27 in Vancouver. "If all goes well, look for more Dirt Band dates in 2002," the band's manager, Chuck Morris, said in a statement.
After his exit from the band in 1987, McEuen recorded with NGDB for 1989's "Will The Circle Be Unbroken, Vol. II" (Universal), and composed film and television scores. In 1992, he released his first solo album, "String Wizards" (Vanguard), and the next year, "String Wizards II." He followed those with "Acoustic Traveler" on his own String Wizard label in 1996, and with Ibbotson (who joined NGDB in 1969), recorded the anecdote-filled rock/bluegrass album "Stories and Songs" in 1999.
McEuen was replaced in NGDB by Bernie Leadon for one album, 1988's "Workin' Band" (Warner Bros.). Through the 1990s, the band continued on as a four-piece, releasing eight albums, and winning two Grammys in 1989 -- best bluegrass recording for "The Valley Road" with Bruce Hornsby and best country performance by a duo or group with vocal for "Will The Circle Be Unbroken, Vol. II." The most recent NGDB album was "Bang Bang Bang," released in 1999 by DreamWorks.

The unlikely matchup of Florida State and Auburn in the BCS National Championship highlights this year's slate of college bowl games. Here is the complete viewing schedule.
Some big upsets shook up the BCS and will give us a surprise matchup in the national championship game. Here is what we learned in the final week of college football's regular season.
Chad Henne threw two touchdown passes, and the Jaguars beat the Houston Texans, 27-20, in Jacksonville on Thursday night.
Longtime civil-rights leader and former president of South Africa Nelson Mandela died Thursday due to complications from a lung infection. He was 95 years old.
While broadcasting from Nashville Tuesday afternoon, our good friend April Hyde from the Grand Ole Opry showed me this video that had just been released by Eric Church.
Russell Wilson threw for 310 yards and three touchdowns, and the Seahawks dominated the New Orleans Saints, 34-7, in Seattle on Monday night.
Incredible individual performances highlighted Week 13 of the 2013 NFL season. Here are five things we learned on Sunday:
It was the most exciting Iron Bowl in history. It was arguably the wildest ending to a college game ever. And Auburn's last-second upset of No. 1 Alabama was just one of the highlights. Here are some things we learned this week in college football.
If you're like me, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade is a staple in my Turkey Day festivities. But, this year, I was traveling during most of the parade, so I missed a lot of the broadcast. Lucky for me, Amy Sciarretto has all of the country music coverage from the parade and I have to say.. we were well represented!
Check out the details and performances here...
Home teams Baltimore, Dallas and Detroit each won their respective games on Thanksgiving Day. Here's a recap of Thursday's NFL action:
Thanksgiving is on record as being America's second-favorite holiday (Christmas wins first prize, of course), so it makes sense that Thanksgiving lore is a part of our shared cultural history and something we start learning early in our lives. But it turns out a lot of what we think we know about Turkey Day is wrong.

Street Salivates Over VEBA Cash Pile
The massive health-care trust fund to be established under the contract agreement between General Motors Corp. GM 0.32 % and the United Auto Workers presents an opportunity for investment advisers and money managers totaling upward of $66 billion should Ford Motor Co. F -0.07 % and Chrysler LLC follow suit.
That pile of cash from the three companies, if managed as one fund, would rank among the 40 largest pension funds in the country, according to consulting firm Watson Wyatt Worldwide, bringing in tens of millions of dollars in fees to its managers. It would be nearly twice as large as the Harvard University endowment, the nation's largest college endowment.
"There's a potential for money managers to get new, large pools of money," said Cara Jareb, director of retiree medical consulting for Watson Wyatt.
Yoked Together
- Charts: See charts illustrating how Detroit's sales and profits, and UAW membership, have been falling in tandem. Plus VEBA data, more.
More on the Deal
But beyond the auto industry, there are few other big funds coming down the road, industry officials said. The trust -- known as a voluntary employees' beneficiary association, or VEBA -- makes sense mostly for companies fitting a relatively narrow profile: those with both unions and big retiree-health-care obligations. "It's hard to see a huge shift in companies doing exactly this kind of thing," said Derek Guyton, a partner at Mercer Consulting Group, a unit of Marsh & McLennan Cos.
Managing the one or more trusts that could emerge from Detroit's restructuring could be tricky. The GM VEBA is expected to operate much like a pension, with investments tailored to meeting an obligation to workers decades down the road. However, the returns on this trust will have to outpace those of a traditional pension to match the trajectory of health-care costs, which have been rising about 10% each year -- much faster than the overall rate of inflation.
In addition, much depends on what health-care costs do in the future. Many companies base their forecasts on a significant slowing in the rate of health-care inflation within the next five years, industry experts said. If that doesn't happen, it will be hard for the trusts to meet their obligations.
Join a Discussion
Before Wall Street can get its hands on a new VEBA, the agreement needs to be ratified by the union, which has nearly 74,000 members. That process is expected to start in earnest today, when UAW President Ron Gettelfinger is expected to meet with local union leaders from GM factories and review details of the proposed four-year contract.
Shares of both GM and Ford fell, as investors took profit from a postpact surge and as the focus shifted to whether Detroit can take advantage of the lifted liability to make up ground against its Asian competitors. In 4 p.m. New York Stock Exchange composite trading, GM shares fell $1.18, or 3.1%, to $36.46, while Ford was off 2.8%, or 25 cents, to $8.63, also on the Big Board.
VEBAs themselves aren't new. They have been around for decades. A VEBA is a trust fund in which money is set aside to pay for retiree benefits. The tax code gives special treatment to VEBAs set up as part of collective-bargaining agreements with unions.
At GM, the proposed contract allows the auto maker to take $51 billion in liabilities for UAW retiree health care and shift it to the VEBA. That trust will be funded over the next few years at about 70 cents on the dollar for those liabilities, said people familiar with the matter. The contributions by GM are expected to be predominantly in cash but also GM stock, including the possibility of convertible-preferred shares, these people said. GM will backstop the VEBA with an added $1.5 billion to $2 billion if health-care inflation exceeds projections, said two people briefed on the talks.
It will be many months before the trust is up and running, and before that can happen, it needs the go-ahead from a federal court to amend an existing health-care agreement from 2005. A similar arrangement worked out last year between the United Steelworkers and Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. GT 1.53 % has been tied up in court. Once the GM VEBA is up and running, the trust will be managed much like a pension with a mix of bonds and stocks.
Similar arrangements are likely with Ford and Chrysler, which have an additional $40 billion or so in retiree health-care obligations to meet.
With so much money up for grabs, Wall Street is paying attention. "There are hundreds of guys out there circling, making calls, trying to get in the door with the UAW," said a person familiar with the matter. Compensation for advisers and money managers would vary based on composition of the final fund or funds; consultants and money managers usually get a percentage of assets and, in some cases, a cut of the profits.
A UAW spokesman didn't return calls seeking comment.
Utilities, defense companies and government contractors have been using VEBAs for decades. Following a 2004 accounting rule that changed how state and local governments treat their health-care obligations, many of those are shifting to VEBA trusts that operate like 401(k) plans with a menu of mutual funds. The VEBA for Washington state public employees includes funds from Vanguard Group and Pacific Investment Management Co. Another VEBA offering is Emeriti Retirement Health Solutions, a benefits plan designed for higher education. Two-year-old Emeriti offers participants a lineup of Fidelity mutual funds from which to choose.
Dallas L. Salisbury, head of the Employee Benefit Research Institute, a nonprofit research organization in Washington, D.C., said the primary candidates to adopt such a plan "are a relatively small remaining population."
The big question is whether any of these plans will provide the kinds of returns needed to keep up with health-care inflation. As big as the numbers are that companies use to predict their future obligations, some worry their models are too optimistic. Many start off using a 10% health-care inflation rate but drop that rate to about 5% within five years.
GM said in its latest annual report that it assumes health-care costs would rise by 9%, declining to 5% over six years. Being off by one percentage point would change its retiree-medical obligations by about $6 billion as of year-end 2006.

I'm considering the Cruising the Conejo century ride in the Spring, but I find the stats on the "famous" Rock Store Climb somewhat daunting. I'm sure many of you have done it, and I'd like some perspective. Here's the context: I'm 74 yrs. old, ride 5000 miles a year, reasonably good endurance but I'm not a particularly strong climber--too old, too heavy. I do several centuries every year--Cool Breeze, Lighthouse, Windmill, Palm Springs--but have done none w/more than 5000' of climbing.
So what do you think? Should I just accept my limitations (which I don't mind at all), or give it a try.


text: Posted 21 Sep 2011 This message board is pretty laughable... People are labeling the Jaguars one of the worst franchises in the NFL, has the fans from the this franchise looked in the mirror lately? We finished 8-8 last season and off to a 1-1 start this year beating the Titans the same Titans that beat the Ravens the following week. As far as people saying we are on the top of the list to be moved this is far from the truth as well the likes of Buffalo, Cleveland, and Miami are much more precieved than we are. Are owner has made a firm dedication to this team. Why are people saying this game is in the bag for an 0-2 team who seems to be bragging about its defense for whatever reason even though it has gotten lit up the past two weeks. I would never say a game is in the bag even if I were a Pats fan. Another note, many of you know nothing about Blaine Gabbert so put your carolina pather crystal ball away and automatically coming to the conclusion he is going to have a terrible game. After Mc"Klown" went out last week Gabbert went 5-6 for 53 yards against the Jets starters. I keep seeing all of you downplay our wide recievers as well, Mike Thomas is a very good wideout who can get open but just hasnt had a good arm throwing to him and if Jason Hill is ready to go he is a very capable good wideout as well. This is going to be a good game and I will be waiting with anticipation to see who wins, hopefully the Jaguars because Im a fan, but if the Panthers do... so be it they are the better team. Im just saying dont under play our team and give "facts" that are far from the truth. Good Luck! I agree that no matter who you play, or who you are for that matter, that the game shouldn't be downplayed and put in the W column on a Wednesday. I do think its a more balanced game than everyone is suggesting. Any given Sunday. I do look forward to seeing how Gabbert plays this Sunday. I'm also wanting to see how the Panthers defense responds to the multitude of injuries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Black Kiss II comic book banned in Canada and UK
Howard Chaykin's Black Kiss II is sexually graphic and disturbing, so much so that it has now been banned in Canada as well as the UK. It was banned in the UK after being held by customs for its obscene content. Diamond Comics UK is the main distributor of the comic and has sent letters to retailers explaining that because of the obscene content, the comic will no longer be distributed in the UK, despite the previous issue of the comic selling out in the first week. Thankfully if you want a dose of the disturbing comic book it is available to download digitally on Comixology (although maybe check out some previews first to check you can handle it!).

Smoking and Cardiovascular Disease
According to the American Heart Association (AHA), diseases caused by smoking kill more than 440,000 people in the U.S. each year. Even with antismoking campaigns and medical disclaimers in place, many people continue to smoke or start smoking every year. According to the American Cancer Society, most new smokers are children and teenagers, in many cases, replacing the smokers who quit or died prematurely from smoking-related diseases.
Smokers not only have increased risk for lung disease, including lung cancer and emphysema, but also have increased risk for heart disease, stroke, and oral cancer.
Facts about smoking and cardiovascular disease
One out of every 5 smoking-related deaths is caused by cardiovascular disease.
Cigarette smoking produces a greater risk for coronary heart disease in people younger than age 50.
Women older than age 35 who smoke and take birth control pills are at much greater risk of developing a cardiovascular disease or stroke than women who do not smoke while taking birth control pills.
Cigarette smokers are 2 to 4 times more likely to develop coronary artery disease than nonsmokers.
Cigarette smoking doubles a person's risk for stroke.
Cigarette smokers are more than 10 times as likely as nonsmokers to develop peripheral vascular disease, or PVD.
How does smoking affect the cardiovascular system?
In posing health risks on the body's cardiovascular system, smoking:
Causes immediate and long-term increases in blood pressure
Causes immediate and long-term increases in heart rate
Reduces cardiac output and coronary blood flow
Reduces the amount of oxygen that reaches the body's tissues
Changes the properties of blood vessels and blood cells—allowing cholesterol and other fatty substances to build up
Contributes to higher blood pressure and increased risk for blood clot formation
Damages blood vessels
Doubles the risk of ischemic stroke (reduced blood flow to the brain)
Stimulates the blood clotting process
In addition, smoking has been associated with depression and psychological distress.
What are the risks of secondhand smoke?
The CDC reports that an estimated 34,000 nonsmokers die from coronary heart disease each year as a result of exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke. Secondhand smoke is smoke that is exhaled by smokers and smoke emitted from the burning end of a lit cigarette, cigar, or pipe.
Both direct and indirect smoking exposure poses significant health hazards to pregnant women, infants, and young children. Children and infants exposed to tobacco smoke are more likely to have ear infections and asthma, and are at a higher risk for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) than children and infants without the same exposure.
The following common symptoms may be associated with exposure to secondhand smoke:
Irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat
Excessive phlegm (mucus in the airways)
Chest discomfort from lung irritation
Chest pain, which may indicate heart disease
The symptoms of secondhand smoke may look like other medical conditions and problems. Always see your healthcare provider for a diagnosis.

Smoking, in addition to high cholesterol, high blood pressure, physical inactivity, obesity, and diabetes, tops the list as a primary risk factor for cardiovascular disease. In fact, smoking has been classified as the single most preventable cause of premature death in the U.S.
The importance of smoking cessation
According to the AHA, eliminating smoking not only reduces the risk for coronary heart disease, but also reduces the risk for repeat heart attacks and death by heart disease by half. Research also indicates that smoking cessation is crucial in the management of many contributors to heart attack, including atherosclerosis, thrombosis, coronary artery disease, and cardiac arrhythmias.
Quitting smoking is both a mental and a physical undertaking. Mentally, you should be ready and relatively stress-free. Physically, you need to commit to exercising daily and getting plenty of sleep. A person trying to quit must overcome 2 obstacles: a physical addiction to nicotine and a habit. The National Cancer Institute offers the following tips to help users quit using tobacco products:
Think about why you want to quit.
Pick a stress-free time to quit.
Ask for support and encouragement from family, friends, and colleagues.
Start doing some exercise or activity each day to relieve stress and improve your health.
Get plenty of rest.
Eat a balanced diet.
Join a smoking cessation program, or other support group.
Dissociate your activities of smoking and replace them with newer healthier activities.
In some cases, smokers benefit from nicotine replacement products to help break their smoking habit. Nicotine replacement products continue to give smokers nicotine to meet their nicotine craving. However, the benefit of nicotine replacement products is the elimination of tars and poisonous gases that cigarettes emit. Pregnant or nursing women and people with other medical conditions should consult with their healthcare provider before using any nicotine replacement products. Some examples of nicotine replacement products include:
Nicotine chewing gum. An over-the-counter chewing gum that releases small amounts of nicotine to help reduce nicotine withdrawal symptoms.
Nicotine patch. An over-the-counter patch applied to the upper body once a day that releases a steady dosage of nicotine to help reduce the urge to smoke.
Nicotine inhaler or nasal spray. A prescription nicotine replacement product that releases nicotine to help reduce withdrawal symptoms (requires a doctor's approval before use).
Non-nicotine options to quit smoking: bupropion and varenicline
Bupropion, a non-nicotine alternative to help people stop smoking, is approved by the FDA. Offered in pill form to smokers who want to quit, bupropion has been shown to alter mood transmitters in the brain that are linked to addiction. Bupropion must be prescribed by a healthcare provider and may not be appropriate for everyone. Consult your healthcare provider for more information.
Varenicline is also a non-nicotine pill to help in smoking cessation. It is approved by the FDA. It targets the nicotine receptors in the brain. Varenicline attaches to the receptors and blocks nicotine from reaching them, decreasing the desire for nicotine. Varenicline may not be appropriate for everyone and you should consult your healthcare provider.

Duchess Swan
this wiki
|Anything you can do, I can do better!
|—Duchess in "Fairest on Ice".
Duchess Swan is a 2013-introduced and all-around character. She is part of Swan Lake as the next Swan Queen, and she is a student at Ever After High. In the destiny conflict, she is on the Royal side, even though she does not like her destiny. Because there is no Happily Ever After in her destiny, Duchess is a bitter person who'll go to great lengths to punish people who do have a Happily Ever After and don't commit themselves to it. She also occasionally tries to forcefully switch her destiny with another princess's, but so far she has not succeeded in changing her fate.
In English, Duchess Swan is voiced by Stephanie Sheh.
In Latin American Spanish, Duchess is voiced by Liliana Barba.
Duchess considers herself an opportunist, though she, like Briar, is a Royal with doubts. Her story has a tragic ending, which makes her bitter and envious of those with happy endings. Though any princess can become the target of her frustration, Apple White is whom she regards as her main opponent. Apple has the best Happily Ever After. Duchess wants to have her Happily Ever After with Daring Charming whom Duchess has a big crush on. She also looks down on Raven Queen, who is perhaps the only princess with a fate as bad as hers, and she is furious about Ashlynn Ella getting the best of both worlds. However in secret, it is mentioned by Brooke Page that Duchess secretly admires Raven and Apple and tries to find the best in both their personalities.[1]
She is vindictive and spiteful about her ending, and willing to risk any chance at companionship with her fellow students to get a better one. She appears to think that if she is able to get one of them to give up or lose their Happily Ever After, she can take the ending for herself.
Duchess has light skin, brown eyes, and long black hair, streaked with white and lilac. She has a purple floral headpiece on the side of her head. She wears dark eyeshadow and red lipstick. She has inherited her mother's ability to turn into a swan, but she has black plumage.
Duchess feels at home whenever she's dancing on her lake. She goes there whenever she feels distressed or ecstatic as dancing can either calm her down or lift her spirits. Duchess is also a dance student at the Red Shoes Dance Studio, where she hones her skills as a ballerina. With her love of being under the spotlight, Duchess also is interested in performing and show business, as she's auditioned for several talent shows and has gotten gigs around Ever After.
Fairy Tale
- Main article: Swan Lake
Duchess is the daughter of Odette, the Swan Queen. It is revealed that her mother is permanently stuck in swan form and she lived with her grandmother when young. She and her grandmother are in good terms, and she is very proud of Duchess's grades. They usually send each other letters during school time. [2]
Duchess doesn't have many friends due to her hostility. She considers fellow Royal Faybelle Thorn as her best and closest friend, while Sparrow Hood seems to be more of an accomplice when she's up to some mischief. Lizzie Hearts is her roommate, and although she can be easily annoyed by her antics, she thinks of Lizzie as a good friend. Justine Dancer looks up to Duchess due to Duchess's dancing skills, but Duchess doesn't return Justine's admiration. Outside of that Duchess only mingles with fellow royalty.
Duchess's swan, Pirouette, wakes Duchess and her roommate Lizzie Hearts up every morning.
Duchess has a crush on Daring Charming; but he doesn't seem to return her affections.
