ok you get two votes, two for overall another for starter they can be from any generation and a reason would be nice
my vote is fore sceptile
fast, and strong. he has low defence and hp but makes up for it easily with STAB and high spc attack giga drain plus add in sunny day and solar beam with energy ball and he does great.
over all my vote is for sceptile yet again i just love grass types since they are good against ground and have the usefull grass knot along with hp steal and restore moves which can make them last much longer than others, sure moonlight and roost are fine but have a set amount of healing and dont do any damage plus their result is almost always erased in the next if not same turn while hp steals moves of grass can get STAB and do damage while healing you as well as they can sometime heal more than the above stated
now take sceptile with giga drain at 75 base power
im not sure how all the boosts are calculated but its either
STAB+OVERGROW which each boost by 50% so stack that to a double boost and add in a life orb for another 30% and thats 130% damage boost which makes for 175 base damage or in rough calculation
75+50%=107.5+50%=153+30%= over 200 base damage and the life orb recoil is more than heal and thats all without taking into acount his deadly special attack
my second vote is to serperior for its speed and hidden ability and purely for that and the fact it has leaf storm but it would be better on sceptile to be honest, imagine him with contrary, a life orb, leaf storm and giga drain.
foe sends out pokemon
sceptile charges out
sceptile uses leaf storm and spc attack rises sharply
foe uses any random move and fails to know him out
sceptile uses giga drain/leaf storm and foe is knocked out
now rinse and repeat

To say that Unsay and his fellow villagers are used to a life of constant displacement is inaccurate. "We are forced to lead this kind of life," he said.
Kristie Kenney was the first female United States ambassador to Manila, a fact that endeared herself with Filipinos during her diplomatic tour in the Philippines from 2005 to 2009. After all, what male American ambassador would go on national television and do the papaya dance, a popular – if silly – routine that involves jiggling of the bottom?
Four days after President Benigno Aquino met in Tokyo with leaders of the rebel Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), the main Muslim separatist group in the Philippines, a series of firefights between the rebel group and one of its breakaway factions broke out in the southern Philippines, killing at least 14 people and displacing thousands from their homes.
Islamic rebels in the southern Philippines have rejected a proposal by the Philippine government to offer what it calls "genuine autonomy" for Filipino Muslims, saying Tuesday that it "does not address the real issues" that have fueled the separatist rebellion in the country's south over the past 40 years.
It was an unprecedented moment in Philippine art history. There it was splashed on national television, a huge phallus attached to a wooden ashtray – the kind that is sold by sidewalk vendors in tourist destinations – sitting squarely on the face of an image of Jesus Christ.
Officials shut down a controversial art exhibition on Tuesday following a storm of public protest that included criticism from President Benigno S. Aquino III, who called the artwork offensive to the country's Christian majority.
When citizens of the small Mediterranean nation of Malta voted in a referendum last month to legalize divorce, they reignited debate in the Philippines, one of the last countries, along with Vatican City, where divorce is still banned.

"You cannot explain the rise of the women journalists without talking about martial law," said Inday Espina-Varona, a journalist since the Marcos era who now runs the citizen-journalism program of ABS-CBN, the country's largest broadcast network. "When the men were struggling back into journalism, the women were already there."
What happened to two tribal schools in Surigao are emblematic – and in some sense an extreme case study – of a phenomenon in the Philippines and elsewhere of government and rebel forces occupying schools, disrupting not only the learning process of the students, but the lives of whole communities as well.
MANILA, Philippines – For the longest time, the World Bank had been the favorite whipping boy of Filipino activists and nationalists. From the Marcos dictatorship to this day, hardly a street demonstration goes by without the bank being excoriated for its "structural adjustment programs" in which the bank grants millions of dollars in loans to the Philippine government but with huge strings attached. These are conditionalities that, for better or worse, have shaped the country and affected our lives in profound ways.

ZF-3548: Improper handling of no-body HTTP responses
Currently, Zend_Http_Client tries to read a response body even from a response that has no body (eg. 304, 204, no body-length header).
This mostly works but if keep-alive is enabled, it causes major slowdowns because the client tries to read until the connection is closed by the server. Additionally this causes requests with 304 etc. responses to always close (and never utilize keep-alive or persistent modes) - see ZF-3333 as well.
Both are symptoms of the same problem. Solving this one should also solve ZF-3333
Fixed in r. 9870. Does not break BC.
Updating for the 1.6.0 release.

Bob Prier begins his third year as head men's hockey coach at Princeton University. He was offered his first head job in May 2011.
The Tigers went 9-16-7 in his first season as the team transitioned into a new chain of command. After the December break, Princeton lost just one of eight games before getting tripped up at the close of the season. Princeton lost to Yale in three-games in the first round of the ECAC Tournament.
In 2012-13, the Tigers earn home ice in the first round of the ECAC Tournament, finishing seventh in the league with an 8-10-4 record. The Tigers fell to Cornell, a team they beat twice during the regular season to end their season. Princeton was 10-16-5 overall and finished tied for second in the Ivy League, behind national champion Yale. Three players were named All-Ivy, one All-ECAC and five of the six seniors played professionally after the conclusion of the season, with two signing NHL contracts.
Prior to coming to Princeton, Prier spent nine seasons on the coaching staff at St. Lawrence University. He served first as an assistant and then as an associate head coach. Since joining the St. Lawrence coaching staff for the 2002-03 season, Prier has helped the Saints to three 21-plus win seasons, including an ECAC regular season championship and NCAA tournament appearance in the 2006-07 season.
Prier graduated from St. Lawrence with a degree in economics in 1999. The captain of St. Lawrence's 1999 ECAC runner-up and NCAA tournament team, Prier was the recipient of the Brian P. Doyle Memorial Trophy for leadership abilities on and off the ice. Prier led that team in scoring and was a second-team All-ECAC selection. Prier played in 133 games in his college career and collected 60 goals and 56 assists for 116 points.
A 1996 draftee of the Boston Bruins, Prier signed with the Ottawa Senators after graduation but his playing career was cut short after just three games in the minor leagues because of injury. Prier then went to work as a player's agent for one year before getting into the coaching ranks as a volunteer assistant coach at the University of Denver. Prier spent one year at Denver and then moved east to Princeton, where he served as an assistant coach for 2001-02 season before returning to St. Lawrence as an assistant. Prier earned his master's degree in education from St. Lawrence in 2004.

My pregnant daughter just called me to complain (again) about her paternal grandmother. This has become a daily phone call. Then my son called me from work: "Mom, isn't there a way for us to see our aunt and cousin and this once leave her home?" Our nephew doesn't make a habit of phoning me; however he did tell his mom that he wasn't coming down to visit this time if they had to stay with her. My sister-in-law popped for a hotel room.
Every family has a member that rubs the rest of the clan the wrong way. I'm pretty sure it's some sort of Biblical rule. If not, then it must be in the bylaws passed by the government of every country.
Now. I'm not a psychologist or a family counselor. But thanks to my two now wonderful adult children, I have been through enough therapy to give advice on the subject of getting along with difficult people. Especially those we love (or have to tolerate):
1. PICK YOUR BATTLES CAREFULLY. Decide what you can ignore and what you can't. For example: I hate when people aren't honest. I don't mind if you disagree with me. I don't care if you don't like me. But I won't put up with duplicity. Just tell me the truth. For some people, the big issue is laundry, or money, or a personal dress code. Whatever you do, don't chose every little nitpicky event and yell about it. Oh, and when you go to war, do it quietly. I've found my low voice or even silence is a very powerful tool .
2. STAY AWAY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. That's right. There is always another room or someone else you can talk to. Or just bow out of the event, if you have to lower yourself to the main offender's behavior.
3. USE THESE TWO PHRASES, AND THEY WILL END MANY A PROBLEM. My husband and I learned these words from a family therapy seminar, and they became our favorite rebuttals during the teenage years:
a) "Regardless of…/Nevertheless…"
I know these sound simplistic but picture this: Your teen doesn't want to do homework and starts to yell at you.
You respond, "Regardless of how you much you hate English, you have to do the assignment." Or your mother-in-law hates that you won't take her on your vacation. You respond, "Nevertheless, our plans have been finalized and you are not going."
b) "If you have nothing new to add…"
When the challenger rebuts you, you respond, "I have heard what you had to say. If you have nothing new to add, we are done here." Then simply walk away, read a book or newspaper, make a phone call, or retire to the bathroom. The key to making these steps work is to react by not reacting.
Oh, I used these phrases on my pregnant daughter just now: "Sarah, I know your grandmother is extremely trying. Nevertheless, for your father's and aunt's sake, you'll have to put up with her for a visit. I have heard how much you dislike her. If you have nothing new to add to your long list of complaints, we're done." Then I added, "This is really good practice. Pretend you have to take care of your two-year-old, who is just about to throw a tantrum. Stay calm, quiet and ignore the bad behavior. It goes away eventually."

A cornerstone of reducing the time and costs associated with managing endpoint security is Webroot SecureAnywhere's® choice of web-based management consoles – opt for either the Standard or the new Global Site Manager console to match your management needs.
The Standard endpoint security management console is designed with ease of administration in mind and eliminates the need to install and manage a separate dedicated management server. Critical endpoint information is presented clearly and immediately, highlighting any endpoints needing attention. Simple in its design, this powerful and intuitive console provides quick access to group and policy management, endpoint settings, and all the remote access controls necessary for most types of standard, uncomplicated endpoint deployments.
The Global Site Manager console is purpose designed to offer hierarchical layered views that let thousands of endpoints be simply managed via a single console. Designed with MSPs and large multi-location Enterprises in mind it makes it easy to shift between global and individual site/customer views, or mine down right to the individual user level. Global Site Manager offers a highly scalable, efficient and structured way to manage complex deployment scenarios and the multi-layered administrative access rights to provide delegated management too.
Other key Global Site Manager features include more sophisticated threat alerting, reporting and policy controls that ensure malware is identified, removed and contained before it impacts any part of the business. There is also a built-in auto-provisioning tool that allows new users and keycode licenses to be issued without needing to contact Webroot to purchase new license key codes. Global Site Manager puts the Administrator in complete control, as licenses are now issued automatically from within Global Site Manager and any billing changes automatically adjusted, co-termed and invoiced. This saves huge amounts of administration time.
Video: Web Based Management Console
The Webroot SecureAnywhere® web-based management console can be accessed via any web browser by entering a user name and password, plus an individual security code that ensures only legitimate Administrators will gain access. Additional administrators can be added and given varied access permissions to ensure the appropriate levels of control over policies, reporting, alerting and management of endpoints.
The 'Home' page of the management console provides links to Endpoint Security, Mobile Security and the Webroot Community.
By providing an instant overview of protected endpoints and their current statuses, plus the ability to drill into the details directly from the Status Page, administration is greatly simplified. The Webroot SecureAnywhere management console allows you to access all the features needed for viewing, remotely interacting with and managing endpoints under clear headings that include:
By clicking on the Endpoint Security tab, the Administrator is taken to the Status page, which provides a complete overview of all deployed endpoints. The status page also gives the ability to drill into details directly, greatly simplifying user administration.
The Status Page shows:
Management Console - Status Page
Video: Remote Agent-to-Console Communication
The Webroot SecureAnywhere® console has the unique ability to send a variety of powerful Agent Commands and Overrides in addition to policy updates. These can be broadcasted to individual endpoints or all endpoints under management regardless of their geographic location or corporate network connectivity.
As long as the endpoint has an Internet connection, the commands are delivered with no need for any end user interaction. If an endpoint is offline at the time a command is sent, then the next time it goes online the Agent automatically checks-in with the management console and receives any pending commands.
Rather than having the console 'push' commands down, Webroot SecureAnywhere Agents poll and pull from the management console for policy changes, overrides and Agent Commands. This 'heartbeat' communication occurs at regular intervals that are set and controlled by the administrator and are a very efficient way of communication. This occurs regardless of location, so if employees have a high degree of mobility, it greatly simplifies the task of remote user management.
Communications between the Agents, Management Console and the Webroot® Intelligence Network™ are critical for the successful operation of Webroot SecureAnywhere. Therefore they are hardened and designed to be secure from tampering or interference. The Agents communicate using secure communications and if any Agent has not checked-in recently, its status is highlighted in the 'Endpoint Activity' panel on the Status Page of the management console.

Gura Gear Announces The Sabi Sack Stabilizer
Despite its many years of successful use by outdoor and wildlife photographers, the beanbag is a highly under-rated stabilization tool. Gura Gear aims to change that opinion with its new Sabi Sack. The Sabi is a compact stable support system designed by photographers simply trying to hold still while they shoot. The clever double-pillow design lets you adapt to multiple shooting situations without the bulk of traditional beanbags. When you're shooting from the car, rocks, tree stumps, or even simply on the ground, the Sabi can hold your gear steady even when tripod use is not possible or advisable.
The two sizes of the Sabi are made in the USA of heavy-duty PU-coated Cordura fabrics and reinforced with double stitching. Its construction features a concealed zipper with a leak-stop tab to keep the fill where it belongs, in the bag.
Price: $39.95/$59.95

Rated 5 out of 5 by College Student Relaxing Sound I love my little wooden windchime. I live in an apartment building so I didn't want anything too loud or that could be interpretted as an annoying sound. This is wonderful; I receive a lot of compliments on it. June 11, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Sara222 The wind chime that doesn't chime This is a nice design and it looks pretty neat, but the chimes are too far apart so unless it's a gale force wind, you won't be hearing any "chimes" from this piece. May 21, 2014

Clifton : Michelin's recommendations
The elegant Bristol suburb of Clifton was developed on the heights overlooking the Avon Gorge in the early 1790s, though the rush of building was halted by a wave of bankruptcies. Building picked up again around 1810 and a more assured Grecian style was adopted, resulting in its delightful crescents, small squares and terraces, generously interspersed with greenery.

Voter Removal from Registration List Based on Name Matching is Unreliable
Submitted by admin on Thu, 06/26/2008 - 13:17
The voter registration list is the information backbone for the administration of elections. Keeping it up-to-date is a difficult task that can expose officials to accusations of voter disenfranchisement. We review here some of the problems that affected Florida elections, explore some solutions proposed with the Help America Vote Act of 2002 in regards to voter registration maintenance, and illustrate these with an experiment on the actual voter rolls from Florida.

One of Sundance's favorite filmmaking teams, director/writer Zal Batmanglij and actress/writer Britt Marling, premiered "The East," a sharp, enviro-spy thriller that you'll likely be seeing in art theaters later this year.
Sarah Moss (Marling) is an undercover agent for a private security firm that contracts with companies to eliminate "terrorist" threats. Moss, who could hold her own with 007, is sent out to bring down a mysterious cell of radical environmentalists called The East.
"The East" is an Earth First!er's fantasy. The freegan group lives off the bounty of dumpsters ( Batmanglij and Marling say they lived as freegans for three months to research the script) while carrying out actions against large mining and pharmacuetical corporations. The East gives the evil greedpigs a dose of their own medicine, literally. The top brass of a drug corporation has their wine dosed with the the company's vaccine that has been found to have horrific side effects. A mining exec is forced to swim in his power plant's carcinogenic effluent. Eew.
Moss is won over to The East's objectives, but has a moral dilemma with the means—is it OK to hurt or kill those who poison the earth, even if you do it with their own poisons?
Then end is somewhat of a cop out, perhaps to prevent the film from being labeled an anarchist's cookbook.

Jan. 25, 6 p.m., Library Theatre, SLC
Jan. 26, 3:30 p.m., Peery's Egyptian Theater, Ogden

Supporting a loved one through food addiction
Thirty years ago this Valentines Day my husband and I became officially engaged. We were young, naïve, and deeply in love. Little did we know about the dark prison that lie just ahead for both of us with my budding food addiction and resulting binge eating disorder and obesity. While we were dating, I had confided that I had a "food problem," but neither of us had any clue whatsoever how powerful it was, or how severely food addiction would take over and practically destroy my life. [Back in 1981 food addiction was not openly discussed or understood like it is today.] Since today is a special day for sweethearts, I want to focus on those who are supporting a spouse or significant other through food addiction by inviting my husband, Kurt, to share his thoughts on the topic. Welcome to Disease Proof, Kurt.
What was your initial reaction when I first told you that I had a "food problem" when we were dating?
I thought it was no big deal. After all, in my mind I thought, "Who doesn't have an extra piece of cake once in awhile?" Besides, you were so special to me that I couldn't believe there was anything that was a problem.
From your perspective, what was it like to discover and see first-hand the seriousness of my food addiction / binge eating disorder after we were married?
It was hard, especially when it seemed like you were out of control. I could see that you wanted out of the addiction, yet seemed helpless to help yourself. My first reaction was to try to control things, and being a typical guy, I thought it was something that I needed to fix. Unfortunately as I tried unsuccessfully to "fix" it, usually in an unproductive way, it only made the addiction worse.
How did it make you feel?
I felt disappointed and cheated. I realize now that I had very unrealistic expectations and views on life, but unfortunately, my perception was my reality at the time.
What was the turning point for you?
I don't think there was one point as much as a series of turns. I was so frustrated and disappointed that I got honest with God about how I felt. Then I just didn't care anymore. For awhile I did my own thing, and found ways to detach myself and emotionally escape. It was just easier to give up and not care or try to help anymore. Eventually God pointed out my own "stuff" that I needed to deal with; and even though the food addiction was a terrible situation, He used it to burn up some of my own crud that was an issue as well. We went to a professional counselor, and I learned the only person that I could change was me. That was a huge turning point in the process because I finally stopped trying to change you. I worked on dealing with my own garbage, and then I started to believe you when you'd say, "Someday I'm going to get free."
What has it been like to see me get free from food addiction and get my health back?
It was like a light came on and good things started happening immediately when you committed to Eat to Live ~ beyond anything either one of us had ever dreamed. It was amazing. To see someone go from getting beat up mentally, emotionally and physically with food addiction to being healthy, confident, and free; and helping others to do the same is indescribable. It's like watching the movie "Rocky" for the first time; witnessing someone that you love and want the best for finally winning in a war they've been fighting for years.
What are your thoughts to share with others who are supporting a loved one through food addiction and resulting eating disorders and diseases?
Be honest with yourself and acknowledge your feelings. Stuffing your frustrations and anger only makes it worse.
Be committed to the relationship. Everyone needs someone solid and a good influence in their life.
Realize you can't change them. The only person that you can change is yourself.
There may be times when you'll need to pull back so your "boat" doesn't sink. A person drowning in addiction can pull others down with them so maintain your own mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical health; just don't abandon them.
Seek professional counseling for the person as well as yourself. Not all counselors are equal. If a counselor doesn't help, then keep looking. The key is being willing to be totally honest about the underlying root problems and cut out the destructive issues that psychologically fuel addiction.
Don't quit. Never give up. Never give in. Never, Never, Never. Like the old adage goes, "When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on!"

For the holiday season, she's returned to an all-ages cast for "A Christmas Carol."
"While working with children is always fun, I am excited to be working with adults again on this production," Lockwood said during an interview with The Park Record. "When we did those children's plays, everyone thought that's all we did. But there is more to us than meets the eye."
"A Christmas Carol" will open tonight, Dec. 8, at the Kamas Theater, 30 N. Main St. in Kamas and run every night through Dec. 22, except on Sundays. There will also be two 2 p.m. matinees on Dec. 15 and Dec. 22.
Among the adult actors in the production are Kevin Harris, who runs the Kamas Theater, and Josh Francis, who has worked with Lockwood in the past.
"Kevin plays Bob Cratchit and Josh plays Ebenezer Scrooge," Lockwood explained. "And they do such a great job of getting into their characters."
When Lockwood opted to present "A Christmas Carol," based on Charles Dickens' short story, she knew the story would resonate with the audience.
"It embodies the idea about forgiveness and loving your fellow man, which is the spirit of Christmas, more than anything else I know," she said.
Lockwood also liked how Dickens wrote the story.
"He was a master at putting a moral into a story, without making it too obvious," she said.
"I mean, here's this Ebenezer Scrooge doing all these terrible things to people and Dickens wrote those scenes in such a funny way that you laugh out loud while reading it."
The upcoming production pays tribute to Dickens' humor, Lockwood said.
"The musical has lots of laughs and is lots of fun, but it also shows the great repentance that Scrooge goes through," she said. "Josh is splendid as Scrooge. When he's on stage, he gets into his character so much that you don't see Josh anymore."
Lockwood is also excited about the multi-media aspect involved in the production.
"The thing about presenting a live performance in the Kamas Theater is we can use the movie screen," she said. "We will project additional characters on the screen for Scrooge to interact with."
Those scenes include the ghost Jacob Marley and the Ghost of Christmas Future.
"Marley is played by a live actor, but is also featured in these screen shots as a ghost, and the Ghost of Christmas Future phantom is also part of the images," Lockwood said.
The footage was filmed at Emerald Bay Studios in the Salt Lake County.
"It's in an RV garage and turned into a film studio," she said. "We had done some work for the owner earlier this year, and after we finished, he told us to call him if we needed anything. So, we went back and did some shots."
During the filming, Frances went along to say his lines in order to help the ghost characters with their reactions.
"We hope to do a whole lot more of multi-media in our shows," Lockwood said. "We're passionate about both. In live theatre, we create something new every night. No two performances are the same and the audience reaction is really important.
"Then we have film, which is an art form in and of itself. So, to mix them together is exciting for us."
"A Christmas Carol is part of a bigger Dickens festival in Kamas, Lockwood said.
During the run of the musical, Main Street will be turned into 19th Century England.
"We're really excited about that," she said. "And we're so happy that so many people have come aboard."
When Lockwood first announced the festival, many of the businesses were taken aback, and didn't know what to think.
"Once we explained things, they got behind us," she said.
Flowerz Floral and Gifts will host free ornament-making sessions. The Yolk Restaurant will serve free hot chocolate. Los Montes will serve a special Mexican apple cider and Santa's home will be at High County Properties.
Other sponsors include the Lions Club, the Montage, Kamas Chevron Gas & Food Mart and The Ministry of the Disciples,
"The local fire department will participate in a lighting ceremony on Saturday at 6 p.m., Lockwood said.
"Santa will ride down Main Street in the fire truck and as the truck rolls down the street, the buildings it passes will light up in holiday décor," she said. "It will be fun."
Lockwood hopes the festival will attract new visitors to Kamas.
"We would like people to come to Kamas to get some great food, enjoy the festival and then see the show," she said. "This place has so much potential."
Lockwood said she hopes the Dickens Festival will be the first of many other festivals
"We don't just want to do this for the holidays," she said. "We are looking to create a Western Days Festival and a Gilbert & Sullivan Festival and a Shakespeare Festival."
All that is part of a bigger plan that Sharee Harris, Kevin Harris' wife, has helped
"Sharee is a great leader and has formed a Kamas Downtown Alliance," Lockwood said. "The group's goal is to beautify Kamas's Main Street, so when people drive through it, they will think it's a pretty little place.
"Every year, we have 3.2 million people driving through Kamas to get to the Uintas, and then we have 5.2 million driving through to go to Park City," Lockwood explained. "So, we're trying to show people how great Kamas is.
The Uinta Center for the Arts will present the musical "A Christmas Carol" at the Kamas Theater, 30 N. Main St., at 8 p.m. nightly from Dec. 15 through Dec. 22, except Sundays. The musical is part of a Dickens Festival that will be held on Main Street every night from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. Admission to the Dickens Festival is free. Admission to "A Christmas Carol" is $9 for adults, $7 for students and senior citizens and $6 for children. A family pass for $35 is available for parties of four. Tickets can be purchased by visiting http://christmascarol2012-efbevent.eventbrite.com/ . For more information, visit www.uca-arts.com.

I want to install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS alongside Windows 7. Should not be a big problem, but it just occurred to me that I am using a software RAID to mirror my disks (RAID 1). Now there is some information on about that, but most of it is pretty old by now. It basically says that I have to boot into the live system and install dmraid. Afterwards I have to configure a whole bunch of stuff (I did not understand it really). Pretty complicated. On the other hand someone mentioned (can't find the source anymore though) that the installer of newer versions of Ubuntu should recognize that I have fake RAID set up and handle that automatically. Is that true? Does the information I have found in the Ubuntu documentation still apply to 12.04? What things do I have to consider during the installation process?
Thanks for your help.

Here is an interesting article on defensive interception rates and randomness from Football Study Hall:
The Art Of The Interception: Good Hands And Randomness - Football Study Hall
Basically, it says that there is little correlation in year-to-year interception rates by defenders. Just because someone intercepted a large percentage of their total passes defended one year, doesn't mean that they will do the same the next year (and vice versa).
It's been shown via play-by-play data that fumble recovery rates are typically 50/50 between the offense and defense, and now it looks like interceptions aren't necessarily repeatable either. There is a lot more luck/randomness involved in generating a turnover than people think.
You can spend a lot of time and money picking out the perfect floral bouquet for your date ... but you're probably better off checking if you have bad breath and taking the porn out of the glove compartment.
The moral: you gain more by not being stupid, than you do by being smart. Smart gets neutralized by other smart people. Stupid does not.
That is all fine and good, but we will always allot interceptions to skill when ISU has a lot of them and to luck when our opponents do.

Fishing is a hard life, and harder with bluefin stocks depleted. In Gloucester, Massachusetts, there's a special breed of fishermen. For generations they've used rod and reel to catch the elusive bluefin tuna. They depend on these fish for their livelihood, and the competition is brutal. Over 10 weeks, the most skilled fishermen will set out in the frigid waters of the North Atlantic in hopes of catching the valuable bluefin tuna. When one bluefin can bring in as much as $20,000they'll do whatever it takes to hook up.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by DowntownBob A very useful knife I have this knife and love it. I bought 2 of them for my friends at St James School in Philadelphia. They love it too. Just the right size and weight for preparing vegetables, easier to use than a conventional chef's knife September 30, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Oooshley Sharp, Multi-use Knife This knife works wonders. If you need just one knife, then get this one. It is very sharp and cuts through all kinds of foods with ease. I used my other Santoku knife so much that got a little dull over time so I'm sure they just need sharpening after a lot of use. Also, the walnut handle is getting a little rough because of water absorption so I recommend buying the non-wood handle knives. Other than those two small cons this knife is the best and I use it everyday for everything! February 13, 2013

Related MediaHoggard reacts to Jonathan Cooper getting drafted
Hoggard cheers Cooper from afar on draft night
Published: Thursday, April 25, 2013 at 10:23 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 25, 2013 at 10:23 p.m.
With each early pick in Thursday's NFL Draft, the back of C-Street Grill got progressively quieter.
Photo Galleries
The group of Hoggard High School coaches, parents and former players crowded into long booths of the Long Leaf Shopping Center restaurant and waited to see where local product Jonathan Cooper would end up. They didn't stay quiet for long.
When Cooper's name was called for the seventh overall pick to the Arizona Cardinals, the Hoggard fans went nuts.
Cooper's high school coach, Scott Braswell, shot a fist into the air in joy and started doling out enthusiastic high-fives and making a point to note that Cooper was wearing a "Hoggard blue" tie.
"To think what a humble young man he is and what a great young man he is and to think you knew him in his formative years, so to speak," Braswell said. "To see all these great things that have happened to him; all of Wilmington can be proud because he represents the community so well."
Braswell added that when Cooper first showed up at Hoggard, he knew the 15-year-old had a chance to be special. But even after winning a state championship in 2007 with Cooper on the offensive line and watching Cooper become an All-American at North Carolina, Braswell said he was still blown away to know that he'd coached a top-10 NFL pick.
"To see him walk across that stage as the seventh pick in the NFL, it's unbelievable," Braswell said.
Yet Braswell wasn't surprised at all that Cooper went higher than most projections had him.
"I thought all along as the NFL teams got around Jonathan and realized what a good person he is that his stock would go up," Braswell said.
Braswell wasn't the only one doing some reminiscing. Casey and Connor Barth, Cooper's friends and teammates both at Hoggard and North Carolina, were there as well. When the television showed Cooper's college highlights, they both watched as if seeing them for the first time.
"He put in so much work," Casey said. "It's just awesome to see where he goes and to support him."
Casey, who is also in this year's draft pool and hoping to catch on with an NFL team as a kicker, like his brother before him, added that he'd like to continue to be around Cooper, even in the professional ranks.
"I'd like to go wherever he goes," Casey said. "I'll keep my fingers crossed."
The presence of the Barth brothers went along with the collection of parents of former players, former coaches and current coaches, many wearing state championship hats from the 2007 team of which Cooper was a part. The scene had Braswell visibly moved.
"It's a great community," Braswell said. "The Hoggard community, great kids, great families and I've been blessed to coach in it. And I'm very proud of Jonathan and the way he represents our program and all he means to all the people in this room."

Have you ever had Boba Tea or Pearl Tea? You know those chewy, soft balls that sink to the bottom of milky tea that you suck up through a fat milkshake straw? The drink originated in Taiwan as a novelty for children, and has since taken the world by storm with bubble tea houses popping up everywhere. I have yet to be converted to boba, but I when I spotted a bag of multi-colored dried boba in one of our Asian markets, I saw the opportunity for play and exploration.
To read more, I'm writing over on the Kiwi Crate Blog today about our sensory boba adventure.

?Making urban market facilities accessible to regional and local producers will create urban-rural linkages that could slow rural-to-urban migration, stimulate local economic development, and strengthen food security.?
- Vision Statement from Gerda Verburg,
Chair of the Seventeenth Session of the Commission on Sustainable Development upon successful conclusion of the Session, 15 May 2009
International Partners for Sustainable Agriculture (IPSA) is a civil society organization (www.practice2policy.org) that has worked to promote coherent policy that meets good practice in scaling up of agroecological and sustainable agriculture serving small farmers and vulnerable peoples since the first Rio UN Conference on Environment and Development. IPSA worked with sustainable agriculture and rural development (SARD) initiatives led by civil society major groups, supported by governments and facilitated by intergovernmental organizations from the Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) through the CSD 16th and 17th sessions in 2008-9.
As a result of Major Group and government collaboration facilitated by IPSA during CSD 17 related to issues of agriculture, land, water, Desertification and sustainable development for Africa, recognition was given to the importance of urban rural linkages for food security. In addition to the Chair?s Vision Statement cited above the final text calls on governments to ?encourage strong rural-urban linkages and partnerships between countryside and communities, to enhance livelihoods and food security?.
Since 2009 major conferences hosted by Local Governments for Sustainability (ICLEI), UN Habitat, FAO and other organizations have highlighted the importance of urban rural linkages in the context of a volatile urbanizing world, and transformations to the food system resulting from climate change, economic instability and biodiversity loss. As one of the pillars of sustainable development, agriculture and the food system are necessarily linked to, and part of, the solutions to these challenges.
Food and agriculture systems are instrumental in the greening of the economy and the coming transformation of agriculture demands a multi-level governance response from local to national and international levels. Urban to rural and rural to urban linkages for food and nutrition security, environmental resilience and economic vitality, can bring to the foreground ?bundled solutions? to conserve biodiversity, improve land use and natural resource management and adapt to climate change while increasing food security and fostering sustainable diets that reduce non-communicable disease worldwide.
Policy outcomes related to urban rural linkages in the UN Conference on Sustainable Development are:
1. Key roles of local and national governments, collaborating with civil society and the private sector, need to be acknowledged and formally engaged in coming efforts and collaborations.
2. Improvements of the technical competencies of partners to address challenges to food and nutrition security, and to provide educational and policy guidance to national governments and ministries to enable local urban and rural decision makers and planners are needed.
3. Collaborative strategies for implementing technical and policy support need to be developed in greater detail.
4. Recommending areas of policy support for effective implementation from the global and national levels to engaging local authorities and communities in a more coordinated and systematic manner is also a key step in addressing the challenges of food and nutrition security, agriculture and natural resources management in an urbanizing world.
The elements of greening food and agriculture systems that need to be understood in linking growing cities to both urban and rural landscapes, and the dimensions of approaches in a multi-level governance approach to food system resilience are topics of the recently published multistakeholder FAO paper: Food, Agriculture and Cities: the challenges of food and nutrition security, agriculture and ecosystem management in an urbanizing world. This paper was presented at a side event in the recent 37th session of the FAO Committee on World Food Security (available at http://www.fao.org/index.php?id=28645)
IPSA plans to work with Major Group partners, FAO, UN Habitat and interested governments during upcoming intersessional and preparatory meetings for the Rio20 conference. For more information, contact Thomas Forster at email@example.com.

text: First choice for binding work! High-tack adhesive and tough crepe backing make this the strongest paper tape we've found for securing bindings while the glue dries. 3/4" x 60-yard (19mm x 55-meter) roll. Not recommended for use on vintage or delicate finishes. Our binding tape has a strong adhesive—good for applying pressure, but be cautious about using tape on soft top woods like spruce. With soft woods, first stick our binding tape to a cotton t-shirt to give it less tack before applying it. This will help reduce the possibility of any damage when you go to remove it.Once the glue is dry, remove any tape slowly and gently—pulling at an angle and lightly rubbing it with your index finger. Warming the tape will also help it lift away easily without pulling out wood fibers.For more information, see our How to Install Bindings article.

willgrr, there have been other duly elected presidents accused of things, that have faced allegations, etc.
They all had to withstand the criticisms while the accusations and allegations proved to be false or true, right?
Why can't President Obama be allowed to do just this? If he's innocent, the truth of that should and will come out. And if the allegations and accusations can be proven, that should and will also come out.
No fear, willgrr, especially of transparency and truth. And President Obama is a grown man and can handle things on his own.

Just wondering Do You think Obama will ever say the Buck Stops Here?
Obama is facing a credibility crisis, one that threatens his fundamental abilities to govern.
Congress needs to get to the bottom of not only Benghazi, but these other scandals so that the American people can regain some semblance of trust in a government that is seemingly run amok.
Perhaps it's time for the president to gather his inner circle to lay down the law -- clean house if and when necessary -- and to assure the American people that regardless of where these investigations may lead, ultimately: "The buck stops here."
Not Obama.. He knows no evil sees no evil hears no evil..yet he is abound with threats against the Republicans and all the while he is saying I know Nothing!!!!

Partisan to the last, willgrr.
I say if allegations against either administration, Pres. Obama's or your favorite, Pres. Bush's, can be proven conclusively, let's quit talking and roll.
You're really grasping at straws with the "gin up the GOP base" rhetoric.

Bill Clinton, Democrat, was impeached on December 19, 1998, by the House of Representatives on articles charging perjury specifically, lying to a federal grand jury and obstruction of justice.
So will Obama take the Clinton path and Lie when he is finally brought up on Benghazi? And what the heck is going on with his people? They took AP records to see who was talking to whom? They had the IRS go after anyone with the Tea party? And you fools don't think we need guns???
Obama is nothing better then the hood he grew up in. A thief, a liar, and a back stabber.. His lies are starting to catch up with him. The truth is coming out and he is squirming like the puke he is..
I seriously doubt Obama will get to complete his term.. He will be impeached and voted out after the 2014 elections..
2 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
billdoesnt, I won't believe the word "impeach" unless I hear it said by more people.
Until the Benghazi matter is a Big Deal to more than what might be termed "the usual suspects," it will remain small potatoes.
Should we just believe Pres. Obama's words instead?
"The whole issue of the talking points has been a sideshow."

John Boner just announced another vote to repeal obamacare. Number 34 or 35 or 36. Well, maybe someday they could discuss the jobs bill in the house. It has only been there for two years. The Republican party is a pathetic group of old white men who want to control the country for the benefit of the rich and the big corporations. The biggest group of traitors to the US in our history.

60%+ of the younger crowd voted for Obama because it's cool to vote for the First (half-)Black President, and because they were more interested in "social justice" than the destruction of the American Dream.
I have a lot of younger friends on the Internet, and they continually gripe about low pay, lousy benefits, and poor working conditions (i.e., having to actually work)...but then they'll elect liberals who cause those conditions because they honestly thing free contraceptives for women and gay marriage are more important issues. They somehow just think that the economy will sort itself out and magically Obama can create them good jobs. They get their news from Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart and Saturday Night Live. They think they know everything, when in reality they aren't seriously engaged and don't think about issues other than on an emotional "FAIRNESS AND JUSTICE!!1!!" level.
You see sex and gays are way more important then jobs or lowering the deficit.

Advising Guides
The Advising Guides provide a roadmap for selecting courses each semester. The guides are tailored to meet the general education, ECCE, and major and minor requirements.
- Sample schedules to help you plan your classes. Class & Study – no work, Athletes, Commuters, Work mornings & afternoon classes, Science majors.
- The First Year Guides are for freshmen who enter UIS with fewer than 29 credit hours, focusing primarily on General Education and Comparative Societies courses.
- The Four-Year Guides lay out an organized plan for completing general education, ECCE, and major requirements on a four year schedule. The Four-Year guides will give important information regarding pre-requisite and core courses required for the major. Even if you are initially unsure about a major, reviewing the four-year guides of subjects you are considering will give you an idea of the courses you'll need to take.
- Pre Professional / Pre-Med Advising at UIS – The pre-professional health sciences track at UIS is intended to prepare students for medical school, dental school, veterinary school, pharmacy school, an MS in physical therapy and other healthcare careers. You can major in just about anything as long as you take the core science courses. We suggest that you major in a subject you enjoy and add the courses from the pre-professional track to your major of choice.

Reviews for Lasagna Deliziosa
"love it"
"I didn't precook the noodles so I added a cup of water to the sauce. It still could have used a little more sauce. I couldn't find mild Italian turkey sausage so I used hot and it worked great. I left out the fennel. I would actually give the recipe a 4.5 because it is a little costly for meat and all the cheese and it took me about an hour to get it in the oven, but my family of 4 really enjoyed it. It was large enough for two dinners. I'm going to make it again this weekend and freeze it in two batches for weeknight dinners."
"my first time making lasagna and it was completely awesome - plan to make it again and again"
"My first time ever making lasagna, and I found this recipe. It was a total hit!! Now, whenever family comes to visit, they make sure to request I make it."

These reflections are taken from the book "Pro-Life Reflections for Every Day" by Fr. Frank Pavone which is available for purchase at: ProLifeReflectionsForEveryDay.org
"And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel." (Genesis 3:15)
Reflection: Life is victorious over death. This is one of Scripture's most basic themes. The victory of life is foretold in the promise that the head of the serpent, through whom death entered the world, would be crushed. The promise is fulfilled when a mother, Mary, gives birth to a child, Christ, who destroys death.
Prayer: Lord, I renew my confidence today that your promise to us will continue to be fulfilled as your Kingdom of Life grows in the world. Amen.
