We think of the world as a crowded place -- in an era when even Mt. Everest has cell phone coverage, you wouldn't think that anything could go undiscovered for long. But you'd be surprised -- for instance, nearly seven decades after World War II ended, stuff is still turning up -- and we're not talking about an old rusty Luger here or a set of dog tags there. We're talking about stuff like...
Note: The Nazis were kinda like a huge tub of Legos that we poured out on our living room floor -- even though we thought we cleaned it up seventy years ago, we still can't walk around barefoot without getting little chunks jabbing us in the heel. Whether it's college kids playing "Nazi vs Jews" beer pong, or Putin hilariously claiming that "Gay Nazis" are responsible for the Ukrainian protests, or the recently discovered secret Nazi army that existed in Post-World War II Germany, or all the even crazier stuff in this Cracked Classic ... Well, it just looks like there's no getting around it -- we're going to be prying broken chunks of Nazi out of our vacuum cleaners for a long, long time.
6 A Bunker for Goebbels and Hitler's Bodyguards Discovered in the 90s
Just as Godwin's Law states that every argument approaches the mention of Nazis the longer it drags on, so too does every construction project in Berlin approach Nazi bunkers the deeper it digs. Even today, it seems like the city can't put a shovel to ground without accidentally unearthing another cement time capsule of evil from the 1940s.
For instance, while trying to build a Holocaust memorial in 1998, construction workers stumbled across Joseph Goebbles' bunker. It somehow survived devastating munitions attacks at the end of the war, was sealed up and then just...forgotten about. Goebbles, if you aren't familiar, was the man who led the political charge for Nazism as the Minister of Propaganda and was the strongest advocate of Jewish genocide, so finding his underground fortress in the exact spot dedicated to a holocaust memorial was, well, a bit awkward.

Really though, it's hard to think of a better "fuck you" to Joseph.
But really, they're used to it by now over there. Just eight years earlier, right after the Berlin Wall came down, Germany wanted to celebrate its reunification by having Pink Floyd's Roger Waters perform The Wall: Live in Berlin, in the exact spot where the wall used to stand. But before they could build the stage, they had to sweep the area for mines since that's the kind of thing you have to do in an area that's affectionately been nicknamed the "Death Strip" for thirty years. Sure enough, while searching for munitions, workers accidentally found something much, much bigger: a secret bunker belonging to "SS Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler," Hitler's aptly named Personal Bodyguard Division. It was filled with helmets, a few weapons and huge, intricate wall murals because Hitler was, after all, an artist first and a crazy murderer second...chronologically anyway.
Despite this being a monumental discovery for historians, Berlin sealed off the SS bunker almost as soon as they found it, because they didn't want anyone turning it into a shrine to Hitler. Sadly, we don't have any descriptions or photographs of the murals. To this day the complex is only marked by an innocuous sign. However, if you know where to dig, don't mind illegality, and you have a good jack-hammer guy then there's always the chance you can see them for yourself.

Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer. And there are very few things scarier than being told you have cancer. You may feel like you're in shock. You may not even want to believe what the doctor has told you. And there are probably so many questions you want to ask but think you can't because you don't know where to start.
First of all, it's OK to be overwhelmed. And it's OK to feel afraid. But you shouldn't let those feelings stop you from finding out as much as you can about your cancer and about the options you have. Because the more you know, the less helpless and afraid you will feel. And the more you know, the better you will be able to work with your health team to make the best choices for your treatment.
To decide the best course of treatment, your doctor needs to know as much as possible about your cancer. This will involve getting a variety of tests and working with more than one health care professional.
For example, your health care team will include a doctor who specializes in cancer called a medical oncologist, and an oncology nurse. You may also see cancer specialists with different specializations, such as a radiation oncologist. The team will answer all your questions and guide you through each of the steps that you'll take before, during, and after treatment. Your team will let you know what tests are being done and what the results mean. They'll help you in making treatment decisions. Remember, you can always ask for a second opinion to ensure that you feel comfortable with your plan.
People with multiple myeloma now have more treatment choices than ever before. There is more hope for survival. Doctors keep finding new ways to help people with multiple myeloma. There is more being learned about this type of cancer and its prevention, detection, and treatment every day.

It's hitting wrong when feeding from the right side of the mag, but smoothly from the left side. I have some ideas on what I might do to profile what little remains of the bullet guide, but I thought that I would ask to see if anyone has any good pics of their set-up using the PPS-43 mags, where I can see what their bullet guide looks like. That might speed up my getting this thing up and running. Thanks in advance.

I tend to avoid those too. On a few occasions I have enjoyed them, but for the most part I end up yelling, "But you JUST MET!" I like to see the relationship develop to the point where sex is a natural step. When I write, I want sex to be a vital component to the plot. Usually, it makes things worse for the characters.
However, that doesn't mean I like to write sex scenes.
Joseph Campbell said something like, there are three classes of things people talk about. The first class is the stuff is common, politics, the weather, family, etc. The second class is stuff we struggle to talk about, the meaning of love, life and everything. The third class is stuff there is no words for. That's the class of emotion that a good sex scene reaches for and that's why most of them end up riddled with cliches. The writer is trying to say something that there are no words for. It's what drove Van Gogh mad.
Angsty romance with scattered humor.

Some of my favorite romances are those where the characters don't have sex for a long time, and when they do, it's explosive. On the other hand, when they finally do it, I want something there.
I don't want it to be an afterthought. "He lay on top of her. ... He rolled over and smoked a cigarette." What?!
When the characters have sex, it should be more than "insert tab a into slot b" (or slot c in some stories
). Those are nothing better than the "slam bam thank you ma'am" scenes of old bodice rippers, only longer and usually more innovative. It's disappointing when a sex scene is boring, but I don't want to forget that it's great when writers get it right. When the sex scenes involve more than just sex but also the characters, plot, etc. Good love/sex scenes
be about more than just sex. A longer sex scene can be a better one, but it depends on the author. It's not the size that matters, it's what you do with it.
I recently listened to a recording of an RWA Workshop by Virginia Kantra, and she talked about sex and its effect on the characters. For her recent paranormal series, her characters had sex earlier on -- and she loved it because that added more conflict from the start. On the other hand, if I remember correctly, she also said that just a kiss could be the equivalent of a sex scene, depending on how it affects the characters. It's also telling that the title of her talk was
Developing the Romance in Your Romance Novel
-- so she was talking about the romance, not just about sex.

I'm becoming a bit of a skimmer too. I think that love scenes sometimes try to be too passionate and it never rings true to me that 30 seconds in and she's about ready to explode. Also I think the ones that seem more personal and real to me include details that aren't just he touched her there, and she touched him there, but personal details like the feelings and thoughts going through their heads or maybe how dear they think the curl laying on her neck is or whatever. Okay that sounds cheesy but I want to know why this particular couple is in love and having sex, not just read a scene that's interchangeable with a million others.

I agree with this and think it falls under the 'sexual tension' as opposed to 'sex' tab. This is why so many romantic comedies and historical dramas work for me - they're incredibly romantic and sexy through looks, slight touches, kisses and of course, amazing dialogue. The lack of sex scenes doesn't bother me for these films.
I have never sat down to decide exactly what about a book makes me read more or all of the sex scenes as opposed to one where I would skip them altogether. I often hear about 'plot moving forward, characterisation happening' when ppl discuss which sex scenes they read but I must say, though I love to read the character's banter during sex (and not necessarily sexual banter), I can't remember many romances where you learn something
about the characters during a sex scene.
It may be a funny or touching or tactilely explosive scene and I would enjoy it for those reasons, but to say after orgasm, after lovey-dovey talk or whatever, I know something more of the hero or heroine, they have come to some sort of higher understanding (beyond, oh I realise I love you, you feel so good, this feels right, i don't know where I end and you begin etc etc) - no, I rarely read of this.
And for a long time now, I have thought that Nora Roberts should stop writing sex scenes between Eve and Roarke. A while back I wrote this and was very much in the minority (ah well!):
Why Eve and Roarke should no longer have sex in front of my eyes."
Ok. Ive read most of Nora Roberts In Death instalments. Not all of them because shes written more of those books than Ive lived years of life. So, Im a little behind. But anyhoot, this weekend I read the first in the series and I thought to myself - hmm, I actually read the entire sex scene between Eve & Roarke. Normally I skip past those scenes but this rounds, I was invested in their first time; the emotional dynamics of it.
Im not as much invested in their 99th+ time. The reason is two-fold.
First: Nora Roberts writes sex lite and because this lady must be the Irish version of Kali with six arms, by virtue of the number of books she brings out, and the high percentage of them that I read, for me, she writes a lot of sex lite. After awhile, its all sameness.
Second (and primary reason): I feel as if I *know* Eve and Roarke. And so, Im thinking they should have their privacy. Is this weird? I simply no longer want to read about them having sex. I know its good. That part of their relationship is at its zenith. But like I *so* do not want to watch my best friend and her man get it on, I no longer want to read/watch Eve and Roarke.
I want to read more about other aspects to their married life, for example, how Eve continues to deal with being so deeply loved by Roarke. Or, for another example, I want to see Roarke *really* need Eves help for a change instead of the other way around.
Theres so many places to go with the In Death series that I think I could read about them till theyre old and decrepit. But Nora can close the bedroom door. It wont make any difference to me. Well, ok, never say never. Maybe one day Roarke will want a child and Eve wont and though he *understands* the why of it, he thinks his love over the years should have been enough to counteract her past and she should get on board the procreation train and Eve cant believe the man she thought loved her for her, would be so blind to her desires (or lack of desires) at such a stage in their relationship etc etc etc and then they have intense emotionally and physically explorative sex. Wowee, I will read it!!!!

That's a good point! Isn't it true about life as well, that you discover something new about someone you've known your entire life after you first sleep together?

Reading through this thread I am trying to think of authors who do sex/love scenes beautifully, sexy and more importantly...interesting. Personally, I think Paullina Simons did well with Tatiana and Alexander in their 3 books together. That couple knows how to spice up their sex life. In their scenes...even the earlier scenes when they are younger, the attraction and caring and the complete lust is always present. Just what a love scene should be.

The virginal heroine's comment, in romance fiction, that sex is indescribable, is, in my thinking about the only thing romance fiction gets completely right about sex. Perhaps that's why so many readers find so many sex scenes inadequate--because all authors can do, really, is to describe the route to the moment of truth.

We are so saturated with sex on TV, in movies, in books, in fashion, in our conversations, etc. that we've become bored. Too often, sex scenes, reduced to the mechanics, lack imagination, tension, and emotional impact. What makes sex great in a romance (and in life) is its connection between people. Even erotica to be good needs a great love story; maybe that's the difference between erotica (AKA, porn) written for men who are more visually stimulated and women who fall in love with their ears. Porn movies for women needs a plot and characters; men's don't--or so I've read.
In sex scenes of books I love, often I can remember only a line or detail, not the whole scene because the love scenes were perfectly integrated with the characters and the plot. In "Morning Glory," the final consummation, delayed for months and months, takes place under less than an idyllic situation. The reader in "Windflower" has waited for hundreds of pages and then, the first time (not told in any detail, IIRC) is not that good for the heroine, but the hero is so tender and loving that, oddly enough, it adds to the joy of the novel. But these consummations are not sex scenes so much as love scenes. I want to read LOVE scenes in a romance.
Generally, I don't like novels where the couple meet and go to bed before they even know each other, but Lisa Marie Rice's heroes and heroines usually come together very quickly, and it works because of her depth of characterization. We read both the man and the woman's thoughts, so we can see why they are so powerfully attracted, plus the danger to the heroine ratchets up the speed and tension. In contrast, Stephenie Myer's vampire series has great sexual tension, but it's not until the FOURTH BOOK that the h&h finally go to bed together! This YA book is not at all graphic, but the consummation is lovely.
I suspect that the sex scenes we all gloss over are written by authors who were bored when they wrote them. It's interesting to me that usually a good new author writes great sex scenes; it's the pros who write the boring ones. I usually stop reading authors after they've written a lot: I get bored, and I think they do too.

Good point, dick. I generally find that suggestion is far more erotic than finger placement. I tend to skim, especially very long scenes. (This makes Stephanie Laurens' books quite short :-).) Sometimes sex scenes are significant in the book I think, for example, of Jo Goodman's The Price of Desire or Julia Quinn's To Sir Phillip With Love in terms of both the plot and the character development. Too often, however, they just seem tossed in. When the protagonists have fallen madly in lust by page 5 and in bed by page 10, I close the book and pick up another.

i used to read the novels with the love/sex scenes- but now I end up skimming a lot of them too- unless i'm in the mood to read about them.
Like JaneO mentioned, a lot of the time it seems like the sex is just tossed in. I haven't encountered many that actually moved the story forward. Most of the time the scenes just interrupt the pace of the story so i skim/skip to get to the bantering. I sort of prefer the love/sex scenes in the last few chapters of the novel now-since by that time, the hero/heroine are coming together and things are slowing down. Though, I am fond of making-out scenes that leave the characters wanting more (but they're holding back) so I do read those. Maybe I'm just the type of person who is more fond of the chase than the actual consummation. :D
the love/sex scenes can get pretty boring since I can almost predict when the sex scene will be- oh look! hero/heroine encounters abandoned cottage/field/shed or they're all alone in the library or his/her bedroom- of course they should make the best use of it-cut the talking short and consummate their lust for each other. Maybe if they have sex at more unexpected moments and places, I would read them more thoroughly.
And a lot of sex scenes poke at some of my pet peeves: 1 the characters have sex within days after meeting each other and 2. the commenting on how INNOCENT the heroine is because you could totally tell by the way he is moving, breathing, whimpering. I'm like....right, seriously? :roll:
i don't think romances need sex but sometimes sex would be nice- you have all that sexual tension to lead to sex. It's just that 10-15 page long sex scenes are dull-especially if it happens 3-4 times throughout the book.

I tend to read the "first time" sex scenes in their entirety. Usually this is the payoff for some - hopefully - very well done sexual tension, and it's after the couple finally consummates their relationship that things change for them. I like knowing how that first time went.
But after the couple has moved past that and engage in more sex more often, I find myself skimming. At this point, it seems like any detail that is spelled out in the book is almost gratuitous. Like a publisher told the writer to put X number of sex scenes in or something and we are simply filling pages to meet a quota. Too, it seems the subsequent episodes are never as interesting as the first one. They don't change the story all that much, either.
In fact, some of my favorite writers seem to understand this. While they go to great lengths to depict the first consummation scene, the sex scenes that follow aren't necessarily depicted movement by movement. We get the gist of what's going on, and that's all we need.

I don't read "kisses only" books (aside from some classics like Mary Stewart) but I definitely don't read just for sex and too much detail turn me off (I'd read romantica if I wanted it). However, I do appreciate a hot love scene especially if it's culmination of sexual tension buildup (buildup without resolution really annoys me). I also like when sex is plays a part in characterization and love scenes changes when with the changes in the couple's relationship (To Have and to Hold is a good example of that).

I agree that the first time is the most important, too, especially, as
has mentioned, when the heroine is also a virgin. (Well, there are virgin heroes, too, but for some reason their first times aren't half as moving.)

don't skip sex scenes, so I'd say yes, they need them even if you skip those scenes, because I don't.

After reading all of the previous posts in this thread I'm starting to think I must just be a "sleazy" kinda gal! LOL
I WANT sex in my romances. I prefer books with AAR's "Hot" or "Burning" ratings. However, I only want to read books with a B+ or higher grade. These are the books in which the characters and their story take the forefront. If I'm not sucked in by the story and the characters I just skim the entire book, sex scenes included.
OTH, some of my favorite romances would only be considered warm....but these books feature such EXCEPTIONAL writing that I don't miss the sex. However, as many of us have lamented, amazing books like that don't come along every day. I read at least two or three books a week, but the majority of the books I've read lately are good, not GREAT.
I guess I'm in the minority, but when choosing between two books with an "A" grade, I'll take the "Hot" one over the "Warm" one every time. I never realized that I was such a pervert compared to other romance readers!

Two minors and a Stuttgart woman were injured in a two-vehicle accident Wednesday.
Sitanna Capree Reid, 31, of Stuttgart was driving a 1999 Chevrolet east on Seventh Street at approximately 6 p.m. when Jeremy D. Snider, 20, of Stuttgart failed to yield.

We pause for a moment to honor the life and times of George Blanda, the pro football hall of famer who died Monday at the age of 83. Blanda exited his mother's womb a football player in 1927 joined the choir eternal in the same fashion.
Blanda's arrival at heaven's gate should have been heralded by the booming voice of John Facenda, the late NFL Films narrator who once read "The autumn wind is a pirate" to describe the Oakland Raiders.
George Blanda epitomized toughness — Oakland Raiders toughness — the kind of toughness that broke bones and overcame adversity at the expense of personal pain.
He played linebacker. And quarterback. And kicker.
And he just flat-out kicked … well, you know … the man knew how to open up a can on somebody.
Retiring at the age of 48 — a month shy of his 49th birthday — George Blanda became the oldest player in NFL history after 26 seasons with the Bears, Colts, Oilers and Raiders.
Indeed, George Blanda tops the NFL list of all-time greatest geezers. He is one of only seven players to play an NFL game at the age of 45 or above.
According to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, the other six were Morten Andersen (age 47, kicker, 1997 Atlanta Falcons), Ben Agajanian (age 45, kicker, 1964 San Diego Chargers), Gary Anderson (age 45, kicker, 2004 Tennessee Titans), John Carney (age 45, kicker, 2009 New Orleans Saints), Bobby Marshall (age 45, end, 1925 Duluth Kelleys) and John Nesser (age 45, 1921 Columbus Panhandles).
Enjoy this video montage about George Blanda's career.

I know, I KNOW, it's cold outside. Winter is most definitely upon us, and we must dress accordingly. But here this: If you're already slipping into what I call Fashion Hibernation, you must stop it immediately. You know what I'm talking about: Fashion hibernation is when you shroud yourself in shapeless layers (of mostly black and brown), hiding your body in a cave of unidentifiable knits (is it a tunic? A sweater? No one knows). It is especially tis the season (when it's gray and damp outside), to use fashion to lighten and enliven. Keep your chic style alive, I say. Dress like you mean it! Wear color (it'll boost your mood and brighten your face), embrace a little sparkle (in accessories, in metallic threading woven into knits). Yes, it's cold outside, yes you want to be practical, but raise your right hand and pledge to look good at all times.
Go! Buy! Be Chic!

The four-day event hosted experts on search marketing professionals who optimize digital content to be found and ranked by search engines from some of the industry's biggest names: Google, Bing, Adobe, and many more. The Summit offered a mixture of panels, presentations, and activities hosted around Park City.
One keynote speaker, Eli Goodman from ComScore covered "The Future of Digital Media Measurement," and how to integrate big data into marketing strategies. Goodman said that it is important for marketers to standardize the data they can deliver to clients across all forms of media television, mobile and online. "You need to be able to find common ground," said Goodman. He suggests that marketers start with Gross Rating Points (GRPs) and Target Rating Points (TRPs). GRPs are designed to measure the overall audience reached by a piece of media; TRPs measure a specific, targeted audience. Goodman also emphasized the importance of looking at real-time analytics to measure the effectiveness of advertising or marketing efforts as audiences are reacting to them.
Other keynote speakers at the event were: Mark Jeffery from the Kellogg School of Management, Heather Dougherty from Hitwise, Evan Greene from The Recording Academy, and Jennifer Tan from Experian.
One panel, "How Site and Mobile App Search Changes Everything," featured panelists from 360i, Adchemy, Zagg, Intent Media, and Google. Among other topics, the panelists discussed the broader implications of a recent Forrester study that found that 30 percent of online consumers begin to research a product on Amazon.com before purchasing it, versus 13 percent that research on Google first. The panelists talked about a variety of ways to track consumer behavior to better target ads, coupons, and more. Jason Hartley from 360i, talked about Walmart's mobile app the app can tell when a consumer is in a store and deliver messaging based on that consumer's previous shopping habits. Apps might deliver a coupon based on products a person has looked at or purchased before. Jon Venverloh from Google Shopping, said that his company is currently working to learn to use this "context" to "turn intent into action." Each panelist seemed to agree that using apps and other digital technology to better analyze customer's habits will allow marketers better assist individuals and improve shopping experiences.
Most of the attendees at the Search Insider Summit seemed to be enjoying the intimate atmosphere at the Summit, poking jokes at one another during presentations. However, the excitement was more palpable when it came to the Summit's scheduled activities around Park City. Attendees were invited to ski or snowboard at area resorts, snowmobile, dine at High West, tube at Gorgoza and enjoy some of Park City's other attractions.

ISU basketball: Fred Hoiberg says pieces starting to fall into place | desmoinesregister.com | The Des Moines Register
A few tibits from the article:
His first piece was signing Otzelberger, an assistant to former Cyclone coach Greg McDermott, to a five-year contract that includes a guaranteed annual salary of $200,000.
Hes also searching for a coaching strategist.
Im pretty far down the road with a couple guys, Hoiberg said. The next hire will be somebody that has experience, whos been on the bench, who can put a game plan together and can run a practice.
No wonder TJ stayed...$1 million guaranteed.
And it sounds like he is close to filling out his staff.
That is a bargain for ISU. Nice job by JP and Co.
Will be interesting to see whom Hoiberg selects to fill the strategist role.
I am anxious to know also.
Nice, I'm looking forward to who he hires.
Worries me a little bit when he says he doesnt know what his role will be, referring to Grayer. I guess in my book he has a year to figure things out and make changes if need be. The next hire will be the most important and hopefully the most thought out.
Originally Posted by 4429 mcc

this is encouraging to me. Sounds like Fred feels it is not wise to have Grayer as one of the three assistants. At least that is what I am hoping.
I think his NBA ties are going to help him more than we thought.
The gap in our economy is between what we have and what we think we ought to have--and that is a moral problem, not an economic one. - Paul Heyne
I kind of read the Grayer thing as if Fred gets his top targets, maybe Grayer does a year or so as Assistant DBO and then moves into the regular assistant role. Whoever the lead assistant is will probably not stick around forever.
I, too was interested in TJ's contract. It's nice to see us really invest in an assistant for basketball. The really interesting part was that Pollard basically admitted that the reason they moved so fast was to keep TJ since Fred said he wanted to keep him. I wonder how things would have changed if Fred hadn't said anything about wanting to keep TJ or how long TJ would have stuck around without a new headcoach in place. I'm guessing with the offers that he had, he probably would have been gone by the weekend. I certainly would have, not knowing if the new coach would want to keep me.
Hoiberg sure seems to be saying a lot of the right things. He talks like a guy that knows what he is doing.

During his first press conference that was the stuff that I thought was probably crap. I figured it was what he could say about recruiting since he had no expirence.
But if it is a line, it sure seems to be working on the recruits. They all seem to gush about that when being interviewed.
Interesting how salary's have escalated. Johnny Orr probably made less than the assistant is now most of his career.

That's true, but it's all about inflation. He probably paid .25 cents for a gallon of gas and .15 cents for a gallon of milk.

Not in 1990. Gas was more like $1.30 and milk $2.00/gallon.

Don't take away from my fun.
I will preface this by saying I have no prediction how this will turn out, I am excited to find out though and am really happy he is in charge.
Is it just me or does a sense of calm come over a person when Freddie talks? Seriously, it is like my heart rate goes down or something. Like he has everything under control and everything is going to turn out fine.
I remember thinking that when he played in high school and college, for such a young kid just seemed to be so calm, totally under control, not overwhelmed or nervous about anything. Could never tell from looking at him if they were up 10 or down 10 or if he was playing well or not playing well. Never seemed to get tired either.
Hope that rubs off on his teams as well.

It would seem that a meeting between rocker Ted Nugent and cyborg Mitt Romney would be one of those matter-anti-matter events that would explode the entire time-space continuum.
But besides being local, politics is nothing if not a bed of strange fellows. Nugent who illegally kills Alaskan bears with arrows (left his Bowie knife at home?), has endorsed Romney, who once lamely told the NRA that he has hunted "varmints."
Now, Nugent, annoyed with the way the Consitution allowed the Supreme Court to up and rule that Obamacare is, well--constitutional, opined that it would have been better if the South won the American Civil War--or as the grays liked to call it--the War of Northern Aggression.
"Because our legislative, judicial and executive branches of government hold the 10th Amendment in contempt, I'm beginning to wonder if it would have been best had the South won the Civil War. Our Founding Fathers' concept of limited government is dead."
Haha. That whacky Nuge, master of the of presidential decapitation metaphor.
Having lived for some years in Dixie, I found Nugent's Civil War yearning nothing new. And if one ignores, like Nugent, that the war's major accomplishment was ending the horrific institution of slavery, many liberals might agree with Ted.
If the South won and North America evolved as a loose confederacy of states (think Eurozone, with the Southern states playing the parts of Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal), the government in Washington, D.C., probably would have had a hard time herding the cats into questionable involvements like the Spanish-American War, World War I or those never-ending land wars in Asia and the Middle East.

ZF-6675: Automatic cookie concatenation (urlencoding) problem
when sending cookies or setting the cookie jar along with existing cookies, while making a request through the http client, by default, url encodes the cookie value. this is done while returning all the cookies in the cookie jar when finally calling the cookie::__toString() method.
some applications including proprietary web applications, accept and compare cookies as it is set and sent back to the server (raw). so while making requests with the http client, the cookie header values being url encoded raises an issue here, simply because a raw value and a urlencoded value will not match. this happens when the cookie value contains literal characters such as *#$%<>, etc.
there could be 4 possibilities to fix this issue.
- to disable url encoding altogether when concat returning the cookie using __toString().
- by allowing an additional optional parameter to be set while setting the cookiejar with the http client that acts as a flag, to disable url encoding.
- by allowing an additional optional parameter while making the request().
- by setting a http client config parameter. eg: disablecookieurlencoding.
Zend_Http_Client has a configuration parameter for 'encodecookies' - if set to false, then no encoding is done. The encodecookies value is passed into Zend_Http_Cookie::fromString("key=value", $uri, $encodecookies) when Zend_Http_Client's setCookie() is called.
(To me this implies there is a solution for this ticket, and it can be closed?)
Shall test and revert.

PULLMAN, Wash. - Washington State's freshman guard Lia Galdeira scored 18 points and broke the school-record for points in a season by a freshman in the Cougars 73-60 defeat to No. 6 University of California at Beasley Coliseum Thursday.
Washington State (10-18, 6-11 Pac-12) shot 39.7 percent from the floor and scored 20 points off of 17 California (26-2, 16-1 Pac-12) 17 turnovers. The Golden Bears shot 44.3 percent, knocked down 11 three pointers and posted a 44-31 rebounding advantage.
Galdeira broke Jazmine Perkins previous freshman single-season scoring mark of 413 points in 2008-09 and now owns 418 points. Galdeira also grabbed seven rebounds. Freshman forward Mariah Cooks added 10 points and six rebounds off the bench for the Cougars who also received seven points from both junior forward Sage Romberg and freshman guard Taylor Edmondson. California was led by Layshia Clarendon's 26 points.
Galdeira got the scoring started for the Cougars with a three from straight away and redshirt-senior guard Katie Grad later added a steal and coast-to-coast layup.
Minutes later, Galdeira continued her hot start with a driving layin and a baseline jumper and WSU also received jumpers from redshirt-junior Ireti Amojo and junior forward Hana Potter to tie the game at 17 at the 11:21 mark. Galdeira gave the Cougars their first lead of the game, 21-20, with a three from the left wing with 10:43 remaining.
The Golden Bears answered with six straight points but Romberg followed the Cal run with a three from the right wing and then finished off a drive with a jumper off the glass on the next possession. Cooks capped a 7-0 spurt for WSU with a spinning layup from the low block to give the Cougars a 27-25 lead.
Both teams traded baskets over the next couple minutes before Cooks hit a three in the right corner and Awa added a free throw for a 35-33 WSU lead with 1:56 remaining. California answered in a big way, hitting three three-pointers to close the half with a 9-0 run and took a 42-35 lead into the half.
Both teams shot 50 percent in the first 20 minutes but the Golden Bears hit seven threes to own the seven-point advantage. Galdeira led WSU with 10 points while Cal's Clarendon put up 18.
Washington State opened the second half receiving layups from Galdeira and Awa to cut the California lead to three. The Golden Bears countered with a 9-0 run, sparked by a Clarendon three, to build a double-digit lead, 51-39 at the 14:39 mark.
Midway through the half, Galdeira tallied three straight points and Romberg followed with a jumper to cut the Cal lead to 10 but Cal again countered with another 9-0 run as Clarendon scored her final four points during the streak to put the Golden Bears up for good.
Washington State wraps up its regular season Saturday hosting No. 4 Stanford University at Noon on the Pac-12 Networks.

Ice Skating and Hot Cocoa (35 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
Hot Cocoa and Ice Skating are some of the best memories when you live in the Mitten State. Being a Stylist I wanted to take a fun and colorful turn on the trendy hot coco idea and make the details personalized for the Birthday girl and her friends. Jaelynn is my daughter, a girl who loves frilly dresses, the color torquoise, hot coco, smores, girly details and friends. I knew that the soft details of the angel wings, marshmellow and feather chandlier, birch wood, ruffles and pastel colors would make it such a lovely and magical party. My photographer Danyelle from DanyC Photography captured the party magically. She has such an eye for beautiful images and a heart for photgraphy that make my job just that much lovelier.
So many amazing details and vendors for this party made the birthday girl feel like an true princess. My friend and avid baker Linda from Frog Prince Cookie and Cake made the most delectable snowflake, birchwood and mitten cookies, and cake topper. When I told her that I wanted an fondant character topper of my daughter she captured the details brilliantly. I contacted Kris from KCreative to come on board and so glad she did. I pretty much gave her a few ideas to run with and she nailed it! Her attention to detail was just astounding and perfect! We also had beautiful fondant cupcake toppers from Renee at Austonishing Cakes LLC. She is an fondant master and I think can just create about anything I have thrown at her. She truly has a gift.
When it came to design the cake my favorite local bakery closed and I was scrambling last minute to find an substitute. So a backup plan was essential. A little tip is to dress up an grocery store cake with edible details and your guests may never know the difference. I used some fondant pieces Linda has originally made for the cake topper and paired them with the cake design I sketched out for the local bakery at Meijer. The bakers there did a great job at bringing my design to life, beautifully.
I knew when designing this party I had visions of feathers and accents of real birch wood. The setting for our party took place at our home that sits on a private pond. I knew that capturing the softness of the feathers and taking some of the outside elements in would add an dreamy touch. It was just perfect that it snowed so softly the morning before the party. The snow was georgeous and the girls had a blast ice skating. The pettie skirts that Korrie from Dreamspun supplied added the perfect girly details. I decided to dress Jaelynn in one of Dreamspun's dress that was perfect for the birthday girl. We also accented the outfits with plain shirts adorned with fun flower pins my friend Lindsey from Blue House Designs made for the theme. She also made the adorable sash that adorned Jaelynn's dress beautifully and finished with an simple lace crown from Chickapee Creations . The party hats that the party girls wore were from Keisha at Cupcake Wishes and Birthday Dreams were the perfect finishing touch to bring all the fun details together. The loveliest paper with glitter and beautiful satin ribbon trimmed the hats perfectly.
One of my favorite projects I worked on were glow in the dark personalized pillowcases from Peggy at Cozy Comfy. I send her the invitation I created and she was able to make adorable mini glow in the dark pillowcases. They each had their names embellished on them for a keepsake to always cherish. The pillowcases also acted as fun favor bags for the girls. Inside each pillowcase were fun and girly mini chevron clutches from Tara at Uniquely You, yummy lip and body products from the ever so gracious Christina at Moodylicious, and gumball tubes from Jen at Bloom Designs Online and hair rosettes from Coco Rose Couture. The girls were delighted with all the goodies!
Having a winter birthday can be limiting at times living in Michigan. I knew that a big portion of the party would have to be inside so masking the surroudings was a task in itself. It is amazing really how you can really transform a space with easy ideas. I made an marshmellow chandlier with soft feathers that would hang over the main table. It looked like something straight out of an dream, so magical. Another DIY detail was silver dipped feathers and floral centerpieces with freesia, pink tulips, variegated pitt, wax flower, and feather details. The table was lined with fuzzy silver material and adorned with tableware from Sweet Shop Lulu, hand glittered candle holders and glasses from Kylie from Made by a Princess were the perfect handmade touch. Silver chiavari chairs lined both sides of the table while birch wood vases , tall mercury vases and soft pink candelabras from Events by I Candy completed the setup for an playful and girly party. Personalized pictures of the birthday girl in pink scroll frames added an personalized touch.
We braved to cold to go outside and get a few photos and let the girl ice skate on the pond. We are so glad we did, the girls had so much fun. We took some fun photos of the girl running around and grouped together with the large silver metallic balloons and the tassels make by the sweet and talented Carmen of The Flair Exchange. We even did a few fun photos of the birthday girl blowing some bright blue glitter. She loved every moment of turning seven!
Now it was time to head back inside and warm up with some hot cocoa and roast some marshmallows. This was the best idea yet with gourmet marshmallows from Kimberley at Kimberley's Kitchen, they are heaven. She handcrafted snowflake and mitten shaped marshmallows and yummy graham crackers. They roasted the smores over tea light glittered candles which was perfect for a children's birthday celebration. I am so amazed with how the party turned out with some amazing vendors and memories to last forever.

U.S. News & World Report To Cease Print in December
In a memo sent to U.S. News & World Report staff this past Friday, editor Brian Kelly, and president William D. Holiber announced that the organization would stop printing monthly magazines and focus on digital publishing.
The gradual move away from print began in 2008. First the magazine reduced frequency from weekly to biweekly issues. Then a few months later it became a monthly.
U.S. News will still print a handful of special issues each year, like its college and hospital rankings issues, which will be distributed on newsstands and through other means.
According to reports the memo stated that no layoffs would result from the decision.

Goserelin is used in men to treat prostate cancer. It is used in women to treat certain breast cancers or a certain uterus disorder (endometriosis). It is also used in women to thin the lining of the uterus (endometrium) in preparation for a procedure to treat abnormal uterine bleeding. Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of treatment.
Goserelin is similar to a natural hormone made by the body (luteinizing hormone releasing hormone-LHRH). It works by decreasing testosterone hormones in men and estrogen hormones in women. This effect helps to slow or stop the growth of certain cancer cells and uterine tissue that need these hormones to grow and spread.
The 10.8-milligram syringe should not be used in women.
OTHER USES: This section contains uses of this drug that are not listed in the approved professional labeling for the drug but that may be prescribed by your health care professional. Use this drug for a condition that is listed in this section only if it has been so prescribed by your health care professional.
This medication may also be used to stop early puberty in children.
Read the Patient Information Leaflet if available from your pharmacist before you start using goserelin and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
This medication is an implant that slowly releases hormone into your body. It is placed by a health care professional by injection under the skin of the lower abdomen below the navel. The implant itself will be completely absorbed into the body over weeks or months.
Dosage is based on your medical condition and response to therapy.
Receive this medication as directed by your doctor. The 3.6-milligram syringe is usually injected every 4 weeks. The 10.8-milligram syringe is usually injected every 12 weeks. Follow the dosing schedule carefully to get the most benefit from the drug. To help you remember, mark your calendar to keep track of when to receive the next dose. Do not stop this medication without your doctor's approval.
During the first few weeks of treatment, your hormone levels will actually increase before they decrease. This is a normal response by your body to this drug. This effect may result in new symptoms or worsening of symptoms (e.g., pain, tumor size) for the first few weeks.
In women, it is expected that menstrual periods will stop when this medication is used regularly. Tell your doctor promptly if regular periods continue after 2 months of treatment with goserelin.
Usually, this medication will not need to be removed because the implant will be slowly and completely absorbed by your body. However, in the unlikely event that you have serious side effects or other problems, your doctor may remove this medication.
Tell your doctor if your condition persists or worsens.
Hot flashes (flushing), dizziness, headache, increased sweating, decreased sexual interest/ability, trouble sleeping, nausea, change in breast size, hair loss, or mental/mood changes (such as depression, mood swings, hallucinations) may occur. Pain, bruising, bleeding, redness, or swelling at the injection site may also occur. In women, vaginal dryness may also occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: vaginal burning/pain (in women), pain during sex (in women), breast pain/tenderness, new/worsening bone pain, new broken bone, burning feeling in feet/toes, swelling of the ankles/feet, unusual tiredness, change in the amount of urine, stomach/abdominal pain or swelling, shortness of breath.
This drug may rarely make your blood sugar level rise, which can cause or worsen diabetes. High blood sugar can rarely cause serious conditions such as diabetic coma. Tell your doctor right away if you develop symptoms of high blood sugar, such as unusual increased thirst and urination. If you already have diabetes, be sure to check your blood sugars regularly.
Get medical help right away if you have any very serious side effects, including: fast/irregular heartbeat, severe dizziness, fainting, chest/jaw/left arm pain, trouble breathing, confusion, vision changes, slurred speech, weakness on one side of the body.
Rarely, a very serious problem with your pituitary gland (pituitary apoplexy) may occur, usually in the first hour to 2 weeks after your first dose of this medication. Get medical help right away if any of these very serious side effects occur: sudden severe headache, mental/mood changes (e.g., confusion), vision changes, vomiting.
In men using this medication for prostate cancer, a rare but very serious urinary blockage problem or spinal cord problem (compression) can occur, especially during the first month of treatment. Tell your doctor right away if you experience any of the following serious side effects: severe back pain, numbness/tingling/weakness of the arms/legs, inability to move, painful/difficult urination, blood in the urine.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
In the US -
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or at www.fda.gov/medwatch.
In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.
Before using goserelin, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or to LHRH or LHRH-like hormones (e.g., triptorelin); or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: unexplained abnormal vaginal bleeding, diabetes, long-term alcohol use, smoking, personal or family history of bone loss (osteoporosis), heart disease (such as heart attack), high cholesterol/triglyceride levels, stroke, urinary blockage problem (in men), spinal cord problem (in men).
If you have diabetes, this drug may make it harder to control your blood sugar levels. Monitor your blood sugar levels regularly and tell your doctor of the results. Your doctor may need to adjust your diabetes medication, exercise program, or diet.
Goserelin may cause a condition that affects the heart rhythm (QT prolongation). QT prolongation can rarely cause serious (rarely fatal) fast/irregular heartbeat and other symptoms (such as severe dizziness, fainting) that need medical attention right away.
The risk of QT prolongation may be increased if you have certain medical conditions or are taking other drugs that may cause QT prolongation. Before using goserelin, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all the drugs you take and if you have any of the following conditions: certain heart problems (heart failure, slow heartbeat, QT prolongation in the EKG), family history of certain heart problems (QT prolongation in the EKG, sudden cardiac death).
Low levels of potassium or magnesium in the blood may also increase your risk of QT prolongation. This risk may increase if you use certain drugs (such as diuretics/"water pills") or if you have conditions such as severe sweating, diarrhea, or vomiting. Talk to your doctor about using goserelin safely.
Older adults may be more sensitive to the side effects of this drug, especially QT prolongation (see above).
This medication is not recommended for use during pregnancy. It may harm an unborn baby. Women of child-bearing age must make sure they are not pregnant before starting this medication. For women, this medication should stop the release of an egg (ovulation) and your periods, but this should not be used as a reliable method of birth control. Discuss the use of reliable non-hormonal forms of birth control (such as condoms, diaphragm with spermicide) with your doctor. Continue using effective birth control until the return of the woman's period or for at least 12 weeks after stopping this medication. If you become pregnant or think you may be pregnant, tell your doctor right away.
It is not known whether this medication passes into breast milk. Because of the possible risk to the infant, breast-feeding while using this medication is not recommended. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
Drug interactions may change how your medications work or increase your risk for serious side effects. This document does not contain all possible drug interactions. Keep a list of all the products you use (including prescription/nonprescription drugs and herbal products) and share it with your doctor and pharmacist. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicines without your doctor's approval.
Some products that may interact with this drug include: hormonal birth control (e.g., pills, patch), medications that can cause bone loss (e.g., corticosteroids such as prednisone).
If overdose is suspected, contact a poison control center or emergency room right away. US residents can call their local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. Canada residents can call a provincial poison control center.
Laboratory and/or medical tests (such as blood sugar, hormone levels) should be performed periodically to monitor your progress or check for side effects. Consult your doctor for more details.

Retirement ain't cheap. We know. That's why so many Americans are working much longer than they ever thought they would. Duh. But what if you could live somewhere for $100 a day? That's $36,500 a year—or, after taxes (at 25 percent), $27,375.
Now we're talking.
Good Morning America reports a recent analysis from AARP: The Magazine took into account things like home prices, crime, cost of living, climate, health resources, doctors, hospitals, recreation and the arts and came up with a list of great places to start your second act.
"These are not necessarily retirement meccas," the magazine's Gabrielle Redford tells the morning show. "They are just great places to live and great places to retire."
Starting to plan on a work end-date? Don't discount Pittsburgh; San Antonio; Omaha; Grand Junction, Colorado; Gainesville, Florida; Spokane, Washington; Las Cruces, New Mexico; Eau Claire, Wisconsin; Morgantown, West Virginia; or Roanoke, Virginia.
So what if you're not in Arizona or New York? With all that money you'll be saving, you'll be able to vacation there.

Spotlight for Recruiting ProfessionalsDecember 11, 2013
by Sue Keever Watts
I recently served as interim global events manager for a large corporation and attended conferences all over the world. It was a fascinating experience and what struck me was how many qualified students were in attendance. Many of them had been sent by a company they had interned with or had received a scholarship from a student organization so that they could attend. And, the overwhelming majority were highly qualified, diverse students with undergraduate degrees, master's, or Ph.Ds. They were all interested in finding a job.
Organizations spend millions of dollars each year at industry conferences. If yours is already planning to set up a booth, I strongly suggest that you consider sending a few university relations team members to staff it. Here's why:
Why industry events?

Getting started:
Why should your organization consider you consider sending university relations team members to staff your booth at an industry conference? The heart of recruiting lies in creating a strategy that balances tried and true recruiting methods with less-traditional techniques.

The venerable Derrick Hodge today releases his debut Live Today album. Through the lens of a composer, Hodge blends together his experiences playing for artists in an array of genres (jazz, R&B, hip-hop, gospel, and classical). A labor of love, he had a hand in each track, whether co-writing or writing himself.
The album also shows the massively amazing company he keeps, with appearances from Common, Robert Glasper, Casey Benjamin, Chris Dave, James Poyser, Marcus Strickland, and Keyon Harrold, amongst others. Watch the album trailer below to learn more and hear firsthand from Derrick what the project is all about for him.
