A 22-year-old Florida woman was bitten by a shark while wading in the Intracoastal Waterway by Bayshore Drive in Fort Lauderdale on Sunday.
Jessica Vaughn was in the water about to jump on the inner tube when she was attacked. Ironically just minutes before, she had joked with her friends about not wanting to get in the water for fear that something in there would get her. Her fears became a nightmarish reality when she experienced the vengeance of what is thought to have been a bull shark.
Friends said they heard her scream and then saw the blood. Apparently the shark gave a warning as Vaughn's friends say they saw her get hit in the face by a shark's fin, then watched in horror as the creature attacked, leaving a deep bite baring two obvious sets of teeth.
"It came up from behind her and bit her leg and then kind of smacked its tail and most of its body out of the water," witness Peter Hogge told Local 10. "I saw it. I looked back and I saw it. I fish in the Intracoastal all the time. It was probably about a 4-foot bull shark."
"I saw her leg come up and her skin flap over, and I knew it wasn't good," friend Nick Russo, who was in the water with Vaughn when she was attacked, told WSVN.
"I'm in the water. She's bleeding everywhere," witness Kyle Branson said. "I'm not going to just leave her out there, so I tried to get her on the tube."
Friends heroically pulled her back on the boat and took her to shore. She was swiftly transported by Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue to Broward Health Medical Center where Vaughn underwent surgery and is recovering well. One friend says, "she took it like a champ."
Although reported attacks are not common in the Intracoastal, it is said that sharks along with other sea creatures do in fact frequent the Intracoastal areas.

Worked quite well keeping out the wind
By Joyce
from Nottingham, MD
Comments about Women's Windproof Gloves:
The gloves were used for a photography trip to Chincoteague, VA. It was sleeting, very cold, and windy. Although my fingers weren't warm, I could at least work my camera settings with the gloves which did protect my hands from the wind.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

waste of money
By Fleeced
from Milford, CT
I bought these very expensive gloves for my sister because she has extreme reactions to cold and does a lot of winter outdoor activities. They were too large for her so I kept them for myself. I have used them several times to shovel snow and do errands. Within 5 minutes my fingers started to go numb. After 25 minutes of being outside most of my fingers were red and numb. They certainly do not let you enjoy a full day of outdoor activity. The next time I went outside to shovel I wore my cheap mittens and came in after 30 minutes with toasty warm hands. Then I did errands with my $10 fleece gloves and they kept my hands warmer than these $55 gloves. A huge waste of money.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
From National Geographic:Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We regret that these gloves did not live up to your expectations. A windproof product will keep most people warm, but for others an additional layer or hand warmers are needed in very cold weather. Our customer service department will be happy to help you at firstname.lastname@example.com if you prefer to return the gloves for a refund or exchange.

Clue your family, friends, or roommates into what might really be causing your crappy mood with this Hangry Cushion ($47). Hugging it while glaring at them from the couch might inspire them to hand you a sandwich before they send you into a maelstrom of rage by asking you whether you'd mind if they changed the channel on the TV.

Easter is the time for marshmallow ducks, chocolate bunnies and jelly beans - except if you're diabetic, or if you are a Mom who doesn't want your kids to max out on sugar. Sugar-free, guilt-free options tend to be limited. Rescue the day with these sugar-free diabetic-friendly fruit bars. Not only do they satisfy the sweet tooth, they're actually nutritious - 1 bar provides 2 fruit exchanges and 1 fat exchange. The addition of ground nuts and unflavored gelatin also adds a touch of protein, making fruit bars a great after-workout snack as well.
This recipe uses dried apricots, dried tart cherries and golden raisins, but it's fine to combine any dried fruits except for banana chips into the mix. Keep it colorful, and go for some nice sweet and tart combinations for the best flavor mix.
Fruit Candy Bars
1 c. dried apricots
1/2 c. dried tart cherries
1/2 c. golden raisins
1 tbsp. corn starch
1 c. walnut or pecan pieces
1 pkg. unflavored gelatin
1/4 c. water
2 tbsp. freshly grated orange zest
1 tsp vanilla or rum extract, if desired
Place apricots, cherries, raisins and corn starch into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until all dried fruit is chopped and coated with starch. Stir in nut pieces.
Measure water into a microwave-safe bowl; add gelatin and allow to soften for 5 minutes. Place mixture into microwave, heat for 45 seconds and then stir gelatin into the water. Pour gelatin over the fruit mixture and coat thoroughly.
Line an 8" square pan with waxed paper. Turn gelatin coated fruit into the pan, pressing evenly across the bottom. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until mixture is set. Turn out onto cutting board and cut into 12 rectangular pieces. Wrap each piece separately in cling wrap.

Tips for Healthy Single Parenting
Having been a single parent of three children following the death of my wife 10 years ago, I can suggest several strategies to ensure the best possible outcome for both you and your child/children. First and foremost, realize that two adults raising children is a daunting challenge. A solo parent simply cannot provide what two parents can when it comes to helping with homework, watching soccer practice, and having the financial resources that a two-income family offers. While the above are obviously desirable, they pale in importance to providing to your child a sense of security and love. Single parents must absolve themselves of any guilt when it comes to the material needs of their children. Instead, focus on your job of raising individuals who will ultimately become successful adults and (perhaps) parents themselves.

I liked Arizona +13 against Arizona St. Not even close. Boo!
Well that was a horrendous week of picking with a record of 7 – 12. That drops the cumulative record for the year to 82-89-3. No matter how you try to portray that one, the result is ugly!
Clearly no one would look at last week's results and be tempted to use any information here as the basis for making a real wager involving real money on a real NCAA football game this weekend. Only a dumbass would do that – only someone dumb enough to think that Socrates was a hand puppet.
General Comments:
The Linfield College Wildcats extended their season another week winning a Division III playoff game against Hampden-Sydney by a score of 31-21. The Wildcats trailed at halftime 21-3 and shut out the visitors in the second half to win the game. Holding Linfield to 31 points is an accomplishment; the Wildcats led Division III in scoring at 53.7 points per game at kickoff. Linfield is 11-0 on the season and they take their show on the road this week to play Wisconsin-Whitewater who sports a 12-0 record this year. The winner of this game will go to the Division III semi-finals game. Go Wildcats!
Duke Coach, David Cutcliffe, won the Walter Camp Coach of the Year honors this year. If you want to review his qualifications for that award consider that Duke – yes, Duke – won the Coastal Division title in the ACC this year and will face Florida State this weekend for the ACC Championship. Let me explain just how important the stakes in that game are…
If by some clear and present Divine intervention Duke were to win that game against Florida State, David Cutcliffe would become the odds-on favorite to replace Pope Francis when His Holiness leaves the scene.
Dwight Perry had this comment in the Seattle Times pertinent to the Auburn victory over Alabama last week:
"Auburn AD Jay Jacobs told ESPN that if the SEC champion doesn't get to play in the upcoming BCS title game, 'it would be, quite frankly, unAmerican.'
"Somewhere, J. Edgar Hoover's body just went on full spin cycle."
Auburn will play Missouri in the SEC Championship Game this weekend in what should be called "The Cat Fight". The Auburn Tigers are playing the Missouri Tigers – while of course the LSU Bengal Tigers will be watching the game on TV. The SEC has good football teams but a paucity of mascots for its teams.
If Mississippi State (the Bulldogs) were to play Georgia (the Bulldogs) in the SEC Championship Game, do you think they might call it the "Michael Vick Bowl"?
Probably not…
Last night Louisville beat Cincy 31-24 in a game that potentially had meaning in the AAC standings. Cincy was 9-2 entering that game and had beaten exactly no one of consequence; they have two losses this year against a schedule of cadavers. Their AAC Conference games were a joke:
[Aside: The combined record for those four powerhouses above was 9-36.]
Their out of conference games involved the likes of:
Purdue (SHOE Team)
Miami (Oh) (The #1 Seed in SHOE Tournament below)
Northwestern State (Division 1-AA)
Illinois (Loser of 20 consecutive Big 10 games until a couple of weeks ago).
Nevertheless, against that schedule, Cincy had 2 losses going into last night's game. That fact alone should make it illegal for them to be on television anywhere in the civilized world.
Louisville and Cincy play each year and the winner gets possession of "The Keg of Nails". Why would anyone play hard just to lug around a keg of nails for a year?
Last week, Texas dominated Texas Tech 41-16. That makes 5 losses in a row for Texas Tech after winning their first 7 games.
Mississippi State became bowl-eligible with their 17-10 win over Ole Miss.
Nebraska rolled over and played dead against Iowa to the tune of 38-17.
Washington won the Apple Bowl game over in-state rival Washington State by a score of 27-17.
San José St. gave Fresno St. its first loss of the season 62-52. The Over/Under line for the game was 71; the game was OVER at halftime when the score was 42-41 with San José St. in the lead. I can never recall betting a game to go OVER and to have the game actually OVER at the half; I am sure it has happened before but never on one of my wagers.
Florida State beat the bejeepers out of Florida by a score of 37-7. So much for the idea that the intense rivalry associated with this game would keep in competitive…
Ohio State beat Michigan 42-41. Other than Wisconsin, unranked Michigan was the strongest opponent on Ohio State's schedule. Some MAC teams probably had a tougher strength of schedule…
By the way, unranked Penn State beat Wisconsin at Wisconsin last week 31-24 even though Wisconsin was a Ponderosa Spread favorite.
Michigan State beat Minnesota 14-3 as a scrimmage for their game against Ohio State this weekend for the Big 10 Championship. There are lots of people in SEC Country who have no idea where Michigan State is located or what the school colors might be; but as of today, these folks are rooting hard for Michigan State to beat Ohio State because that could assure that an SEC team gets into the final BCS Championship Game. I would be willing to wager that there are thousands of SEC fanboys who would be shocked to learn that the venerated Nick Saban once was the head coach at Michigan State somewhere up there next to Alaska…
Syracuse beat BC 34-31 making Syracuse bowl-eligible this year.
Be still, my beating heart…
Va Tech beat Virginia 16-6 and neither team scored in the second half of the game. I'll bet the fans in the stands were emotionally drained at the end of that one…
Auburn beat Alabama with a second consecutive miracle finish to the game. Rank the unlikely endings here:
Ricochet catch for a long TD on the last play of the Georgia game
Return of missed Alabama field goal for a TD with no time left on the clock
You say that Auburn's luck has to run out sometime so why not this weekend against Missouri? I say, where is that written in stone…?
Iowa State won their 3rd game of the year beating West Virginia 52-44 in triple overtime. Tell me again how West Virginia managed to beat Oklahoma State back in September…
South Carolina beat Clemson 31-17. Here is a stat I ran across somewhere:
These teams have played 111 times. This was the first time that both teams had been ranked in the Top 10.
UCLA beat USC 35-14. So much for that 5-game winning streak under interim coach Ed Orgeron. And so much for Ed Orgeron getting the permanent gig at USC. The Trojans hired Steve Sarkissian away from Washington this week.
In results that involve the detritus of college football teams:
Ball St 55 Miami (Oh) 14. Well, Miami did get 2 TDs here…
C. Michigan 42 E. Michigan 10
Ohio 51 UMass 23 This is an offensive eruption for UMass…
So. Mississippi 62 UAB 27. That breaks the Eagles' 23-game losing streak
Hawaii 49 Army 42. Hawaii wins its first game of the year.
New Mex St. 24 Idaho 16
Mid Tenn St. 48 UTEP 16
Indiana 56 Purdue 36
To keep up the running feature of college football players with interesting names, let me ask you to imagine that you are the guy who does the radio play-by-play for your home team and Wyoming is coming to visit. An hour before the game, you are going over the roster for Wyoming to familiarize yourself with the names and you see that the Cowboys have 3 linebackers named:
Mark Nzeocha
Nehemie Kankolongo
Siaosi Hala'api'api
Here is the thought-bubble over your head at that time:
"Please Lord, do not have all of them in on the same tackle…"
The Ponderosa Spread Games:
Last week, there were 7 Ponderosa Spread Games and the favorites covered in only 2 of those games.
Ball St. and Florida St. covered.
Boise St., Florida Atlantic, LSU, UCF and Wisconsin did not cover. As noted above, Wisconsin lost outright…
That brings the cumulative record for favorites covering Ponderosa Spreads to 61-51-3.
This week, we have only 1 Ponderosa Spread Game:
Duke vs. Florida State – 28 (62): Florida State is ranked #1 in the country for the first time in a long time and a win here puts it in the BCS Championship Game. I really cannot see Duke making a game of it here. I'll take the game to go OVER because I think there is a real chance that Florida State could put the total score over the number here. Since I think that could happen, I'll also take Florida State and lay the humongous spread.
The SHOE Teams:
Ever since I started doing this imaginary tournament, it has been relatively easy to identify the worst 6 teams in the country and then only to worry about the last two entries in the SHOE Tournament. Frankly, this year it has been difficult because there are at least a dozen – and maybe as many as 15 – teams I could put in this small field. Instead of yielding to the temptation of expanding my imaginary tournament to 16 teams, here are my Final Eight candidates to be the 2013 SHOE Team – the Steaming Heap Of Excrement Team:
1st Seed: Miami (Oh): They are 0-12 and their average margin of defeat is 26 points per game against weak competition.
2nd Seed: UMass: They are 1-11 and their win came over Miami (Oh)…
3rd Seed: Idaho: They are 1-11 with an average margin of defeat of 28.5 points per game. They give up more points per game than any other Division 1-A team.
4th Seed: New Mexico State: They are 2-10 with wins over Idaho and a Division 1-AA team.
5th Seed: So. Mississippi: They are 1-11. They have Alabama on their schedule next year. Who thought that was a good idea?
6th Seed: Hawaii: They are 1-11. Only one opponent failed to score 30 points against Hawaii this year.
7th Seed: W. Michigan: They are 1-11. Their win was over UMass by one point.
8th Seed: Purdue: They are 1-11. Their win came against a Division 1-AA team and their average margin of defeat is 23 points.
Let the games begin. Win and you can go home. Lose and you have to play again next week…
Games of Interest:
(Fri Nite) Bowling Green vs. N. Illinois – 4.5 (58.5): The winner here is the MAC Champion. That distinction is sort of like being the tallest dwarf. Northern Illinois is 12-0 coming into this game while Bowling Green is only 9-3. However, Bowling Green has the 5th best scoring defense in the country this year giving up less than 14 points per game. Jordan Lynch is not likely to run roughshod over Bowling Green's defense. If N. Illinois wins, they will probably be in a BCS Bowl game (Fiesta Bowl?) again this year. They lost handily to Florida State last year in a similar situation. Just a hunch, but I'll take Bowling Green plus the points here.
Memphis vs. UConn "pick 'em" (43): Such a bad game to end the season between two bad teams. I do not want to "pick 'em" in this game under any circumstances. Do not watch this; do not wager on this; if you ignore them, they may just dry up and blow away.
Texas at Baylor – 15.5 (72): Theoretically, Texas can still be the Big 12 Champion. Theoretically, a butterfly could emerge from my ass (hence the name "butt-erfly") and communicate to all the medical care givers in the world just how to cure all forms of cancer on the planet. Hey, it could happen… That line is fat so I will take Texas with the points and I like the game to go OVER because I think the Total Score could be as high as 90.
Oklahoma at Oklahoma St. – 10 (57): Ok St. has beaten Baylor and Texas in its last two games and beaten both of them handily. I do not think OU can keep up here but that spread is too big for my liking. I'll take the game to stay UNDER in weather conditions where the wind chill is expected to hover around 10 degrees.
Marshall – 6.5 at Rice (60.5): The winner here is the C-USA Champion. Seriously. The winner gets the prize of playing in the Liberty Bowl game in Memphis later this month. Oh, joy… Marshall sports a truly balanced offense:
They are 21st in the country in rushing (220 yards per game)
They are 21st in the country in passing (293 yards per game)
Rice runs the ball slightly better than Marshall; but in passing offense, Rice shows a weakness ranking 105thin the country with only 181 yards per game. I like this game to go OVER. I also like Marshall to win and cover – but not as much as the Total pick.
Missouri vs. Auburn – 2 (58.5): Say hello to the SEC Champion when the final whistle sounds. Neither team was projected to be in this game back in August but both of them are here and both are here deservedly. Last year, Auburn was 0-8 in SEC play; Missouri was much better at 2-6. The key to this game is going to be Missouri's ability to contain Auburn's running game; if they can hold Auburn under 200 yards rushing, they have more than a legit shot to win the game. I like Mizzou plus the points here. And just for giggles, I'll also take the game to go OVER.
Stanford at Arizona St. – 3 (56): The winner here is the PAC-12 Champion and will play in the Rose Bowl Game on New Year's Day. If Arizona State wins, this will be their first Rose Bowl Game since 1997. For 2013, we ought to rename the PAC-12 Conference and call it the Hannibal Lechter Conference. The teams there just feasted on each other such that the best teams in the conference have 2 losses on the year. Earlier, Stanford beat Arizona St. handily but they had a couple of blocked punts to make that win look more lopsided than it actually was. Oh, and that game was at Stanford… Arizona St. has been on a tear recently and I think they have the edge in this game. I like Arizona St. to win and cover at home.
Ohio State – 5.5 vs. Michigan State (51.5): The winner here is the Big 10 Champion. The key question in the minds of everyone who loves college football is:
Will the Champion be a Leader or a Legend?
Michigan State wins with its defense – particularly its rush defense. If you think I am kidding, consider that the Spartans have held 6 of their 12 opponents to single digits this year; they give up only 11.8 points per game. Ohio State scores points and sets up most of the scoring with a prolific rushing attack. I'll take Michigan State plus the points and I'll take this game to go Over.
Utah State at Fresno State – 3 (60.5): Fresno State's first loss of the year last week takes a bit of the sheen off this game. Nonetheless, the winner here will be the Mountain West Champion. Fresno is the offensive juggernaut; Utah State just stops the opposition. I like this game to stay UNDER.
Dwight Perry had this item about the Utah State football team in the Seattle Times earlier this week:
"Gushed Utah State football coach Matt Wells, in praise of running back Joey DeMartino: 'The kid just oozes guts, and sometimes it's not pretty.'
"As an added note, the Aggies boast the only game films rated R for graphic violence."
This will be the final extensive edition of NCAA Mythical Picks for the year. Next week, there will be the Army/Navy game and nothing else – save perhaps for a few comments on some of the truly useless bowl game pairings. As in previous years, I will not even pretend to care enough about almost all of the bowl games to worry about making Mythical Picks for those games. There may be one or two games that provide sufficient interest that they might merit a comment in one of the daily rants; we shall see.
Good Lord willin' and the creek don't rise, I'll do these again next year.
But don't get me wrong, I love sports………

Church of England
Funeral services in the Church of England follow a general format. This may be slightly adapted to fit in with the wishes of the family or deceased; ideas should be discussed with the priest.
general order of service
Below is the outline of a standard Church of England funeral service:
The Welcome, also known as the Gathering: a few sentences of Scripture are read by the minister.
Introduction: the minister introduces the service. A hymn may then be sung.
Tribute: usually delivered by a member of the family or a friend, a tribute takes place if the sermon is to be separate.
Prayers: the minister leads a selection of prayers, ending with The Collect.
Readings: often delivered by a member of the family or a friend, there are usually two readings. One must be religious; the second may be a specially chosen piece of poetry or prose. The readings may be followed by a psalm.
The sermon: delivered by the minister. If there is not separate tribute earlier in the service, the sermon will have a personal theme.
Prayers: the minister leads a series of prayers, ending with The Lord's Prayer.
The Commital
Burial: the family gather round the graveside and the priest will read the words of committal as the coffin is lowered into the ground. Handfuls of earth may then be scattered over the coffin.
Cremation: the committal may take place in a church before the hearse departs or in a crematorium chapel. The words are read as either the curtains close or as the coffin slowly moves away.

With the multitude of rumors circulating over this weekend via the internet, of Atlanta's 'Love & Hip Hop', cast member Joseline Hernandez, drug problems and usage of the street drug known as 'Molly', mixed with the media rumors of the break-up between her and co-star Stevie J, this exclusive video footage, speaks for itself.
For quite sometime now, through the hip-hop community's grapevine, rumors of drug use by both Joseline Hernandez and Stevie J have been circulating for quite sometime now. Hushed rumors of on set use of cocaine to PCP laced marijuana joints, have been kept under tight lipped until this weekend with the release of various versions of Hernandez in the studio, in what some would suggest, an obviously high and drunk Hernandez loses her mind.
Inside sources state that after the vulgar filled gibberish studio session, Hernandez continued on her binder, and engaged in somewhat questionable sexual acts with several of the crew who were videoing play by plays of her lude behavior.
Before her brief claim to what some might call fame, Hernandez was a struggling stripper, who was discovered by Stevie J, in which he promised her fame and success, which fell short due to lack of any musical talent skills on her part. In attempts to make his mistress famous, when Stevie was approached by the producers to do the reality show, Love & Hip Hop Atlanta, he had one condition, make his hoe a superstar.
Obviously that guarantee has yet to happen, however while the show itself manages to increase viewers and ratings, who knows the market for female rappers in broken English could pick up.

Twice as long and three times as heavy as the Mars Exploration Rovers Spirit and Opportunity, the Mars Science Laboratory was to collect Martian soil and rock samples and analyze them for organic compounds and environmental conditions that could have supported microbial life now or in the past. The mission was anticipated to have a truly international flavor, with a neutron-based hydrogen detector for locating water provided by the Russian Federal Space Agency, a meteorological package provided by the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science, and a spectrometer provided by the Canadian Space Agency.
Mars Science Laboratory was intended to be the first planetary mission to use precision landing techniques, steering itself toward the Martian surface similar to the way the space shuttle controls its entry through the Earth's upper atmosphere. In this way, the spacecraft would fly to a desired location above the surface of Mars before deploying its parachute for the final landing. In the final minutes before touchdown, the spacecraft would activate its parachute and retro rockets before lowering the rover package to the surface on a tether (similar to the way a skycrane helicopter moves a large object). This landing method would enable the rover to land in an area 20 to 40 kilometers long, about the size of a small crater or wide canyon and three to five times smaller than previous landing zones on Mars.
Mars Science Laboratory would have six wheels and cameras mounted on a mast. It was to carry a laser for vaporizing a thin layer from the surface of a rock and analyzing the elemental composition of the underlying materials. It would be able to collect rock and soil samples and distribute them to on-board test chambers for chemical analysis. Its design included a suite of scientific instruments for identifying organic compounds such as proteins, amino acids, and other acids and bases that attach themselves to carbon backbones and were essential to life. It could also identify features such as atmospheric gases associated with biological activity.
Using these tools, Mars Science Laboratory was to examine Martian rocks and soils in greater detail than ever before to determine the geologic processes that formed them; study the martian atmosphere; and determine the distribution and circulation of water and carbon dioxide, whether frozen, liquid, or gaseous.
NASA was to select a landing site on the basis of highly detailed images sent to Earth by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, in addition to data from earlier missions. The rover would carry a radioisotope power system that generated electricity from the heat of plutonium's radioactive decay. This power source would give the mission an operating lifespan on Mars' surface of a full martian year (687 Earth days) or more while also providing significantly greater mobility and operational flexibility, enhanced science payload capability, and exploration of a much larger range of latitudes and altitudes than was possible on previous missions to Mars.
AKA: Mars Science Laboratory.

Ro-Ro Shipping
Roll-on/roll-off (RORO or ro-ro) ships are vessels designed to carry wheeled cargo such as automobiles, trucks, semi-trailer trucks, trailers or railroad cars that are driven on and off the ship on their own wheels. This is in contrast to lo-lo (lift on-lift off) vessels which use a crane to load and unload cargo.
RORO vessels have built-in ramps which allow the cargo to be efficiently "rolled on" and "rolled off" the vessel when in port. While smaller ferries that operate across rivers and other short distances often have built-in ramps, the term RORO is generally reserved for larger ocean-going vessels. The ramps and doors may be stern-only, or bow and stern for quick loading
Vehicles are driven inside the ship and secured onto the vessels car deck. Simple, effective, economical, and fast.
International Removals
Whether you are moving your entire house or a single item, we offer an excellent cost effective service for many international destinations and within the UK.
Bernaz is a UK based specialist international and European removal company dedicated to offering its clients a first class service at an affordable price.

With all the lists about the best and the most, the list that may very well be the most important to people in these times is the list of cities are the most affordable in the United States. Sure, it's great to know which places are the best to live, the best to start a business, the cities with the best parks and more. However, knowing which cities people could actually afford to live in is the list many need. Forbes has done the footwork by crunching the data.
The United States' Most Affordable Cities
- Buffalo, New York
- Memphis, Tennessee
- Cincinnati, Ohio
- Dayton, Ohio
- Knoxville, Tennessee
- Akron, Ohio
- Grand Rapids, Michigan
- Louisville, Kentucky
- Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
- Warren, Michigan
- Toledo, Ohio and Detroit, Michigan (tie)
- Birmingham, Alabama
- St. Louis, Missouri
- Virginia Beach, Virginia
- Jacksonville, Florida
- Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
- Tulsa, Oklahoma
- Tampa, Florida
- Syracuse, New York
- Columbus, Ohio
Looking at what you get for the price of a home and throwing in such factors as taxes in different locales throughout the nation, Forbes has come up with their list. According to their report, the crunched-data considers the local economics of places. The listing takes into consideration the 100 largest Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) and Metropolitan Divisions (MDs) in the United States. Of serious consideration were the cost-of-living index, and the cost of food, utilities, gas, transportation, medical expenses and more for each of the areas. Of course, the cost of housing in each area was taken into consideration, too. For the full report, click here.

Summertime offers many opportunities to take advantage of locally grown fresh produce picked at the height of flavor during its harvest season. Nothing fresh from a tractor trailer trip of hundreds of miles can compare with produce grown nearby that doesn't suffer the results of a long journey from farm to table. So, while local produce is abundant, have at it. Come winter, you'll be glad you did. Although out of season produce can be delicious, it's always risky and often disappointing. How many times have you bought peaches in February from far south and found them to either never fully ripen or to be of lackluster flavor? While summer fruits and veggies are plentiful, make time to enjoy them in ways both ordinary and unusual.
Perhaps no one fruit says summer more than a cold piece of watermelon with its pink-red flesh glistening from its natural sugar content. I admit to face planting into a big slice while leaning over the back lawn or kitchen sink and being as messy as possible. It's just a summer ritual, albeit somewhat undignified and age inappropriate. Bottom line: watermelon brings out the kid in me. It's a simple pleasure and a reminder of happy, carefree times. For those of you who may be wondering, yes, I also still split my Oreos before eating them because that's another childhood ritual I cling to—some habits are fun to keep, no matter what your age.
However, not every occasion is informal, and sometimes it's wonderful to turn what's usually considered picnic food into an elegantly plated dish. This watermelon salad does just that. The flavor combination of sweet watermelon, bitter arugula, and salty feta is striking, as is the combination of colors. This is a salad guests will remember and talk about because it's not only unusual, it's surprisingly refreshing.
With a three-ingredient salad, there's no place to hide a lackluster ingredient that is either over- or under-ripe. Choose wisely when shopping for watermelon, the star of this salad. Your watermelon should be ripe but firm enough to cut into cubes and hold a cube shape. An over-ripe melon will not hold a cube shape very well and that's a big part of the look of this salad. We're used to seeing round salad ingredients like cherry tomatoes and olives but cubes make us do a double take. So, start with a melon that will cube nicely and make bite-sized cubes that are as uniform as possible. Make sure the cubes are free of seeds. You can start out with a seedless watermelon or you can remove the seeds as you cube the flesh. Seedless watermelon gives a better chance of making fairly regular-shaped cubes but it can be difficult to get out the small white seeds. Seeded watermelon, on the other hand will produce a lot of waste as many pieces will be too seedy to use. Although I generally prefer the flavor of a seeded watermelon, for this recipe, seedless just works better and is easier to work with. That said, if there's a 10-pound watermelon in your fridge, certainly you'll be able to create 2 cups of seed-free cubes from it. Make sure you cut away all of the rind and use the premium part of the watermelon (toward the center) that has the most flavor. After cubing the melon, set it aside to assemble later.
I am a big fan of arugula, sometimes called rocket, especially now that it is easier to find already washed and bagged at the grocery store. However, the long stem of the arugula leaf is not something with which I want to populate my salad bowl or put into my mouth. Leaves are great, stems are not. It's a time-consuming labor of love to remove the stems but this is another detail that can make or break this salad. Take the time to place the arugula on a clean, dry kitchen towel or in a big colander and remove the stems before tossing each leaf into your salad bowl. If you find yellowed leaves or a few that look like an insect made a meal of them, be ruthless and toss them out. This salad only wants the premium leaves and you will be glad when it's plated and looks great.
Before moving on to this salad's last ingredient, there is some good and bad news about arugula. The good news is that this leafy green is a natural powerhouse packed with phytochemicals, folic acid, Vitamins A, C, and K, as well as high levels of iron and copper. It has natural cooling properties that are good during warm weather, and it helps with hydration. The ancient Romans believed that when eaten regularly, arugula could increase strength and vitality and acted as an aphrodisiac. Today it is touted as supporting bone and brain health as well as being a cancer-fighting food. The bad news is some of the good news: people on blood thinners should avoid leafy greens high in Vitamin K because K is a natural blood thinner. So, be mindful of your guests and their health issues. This ingredient is, unfortunately, not for everyone.
Feta, the third and final ingredient before the dressing, comes in various forms and is readily available in the cheese section at most grocery stores. For this salad I prefer to make my own cubes from a whole piece of feta because that way I can ensure that they look like uniform cubes and not crumbles. There's something visually pleasing about a salad that has regularly formed shapes. Perhaps it looks less sloppy or like the person who made it took the time to put some love and effort into the job. Perhaps it's merely visual and the eye is comforted by similar shapes. Whatever the cause, making cubes of the feta that are slightly smaller than the watermelon cubes is the way to go. Use a chef's knife to cut up about 3 ounces of 1/4-inch cubes. If some are misshapen, resist the urge to use them. Should your feta be flavored? Basil-sundried tomato? Garlic and herb? Both are lovely but not here. The watermelon is the highlight of this salad and feta's role is to provide the salt that will balance the sweet of the melon. Plain feta, either fat-free, fat reduced, or regular is the best choice for this salad. So, cube the feta and set it aside.
All three ingredients can be prepped ahead of time and stored in separate containers. This is not a salad that I like to toss ahead of time with the dressing. Perhaps it's because the edges of all those little cubes get damaged the more they are handled or that too much dressing absorbed over time overwhelms the main ingredients. Whatever it is, I prefer to toss this salad shortly before serving and feel it is best that way. My recommendation is to prep the ingredients and refrigerate them in individual containers.
What about the dressing? A simple orange-based balsamic-olive oil dressing works well with this salad. It requires the juice of one orange with no pulp, 3-4 tablespoons of good quality extra virgin olive oil, and a teaspoon of balsamic. A fig balsamic works well but is not essential. A dash of sea salt and some freshly ground pepper are also good. Either place the ingredients together in a jar with a tight lid and shake or use a battery-powered milk frother to mix the ingredients and make the dressing. If using a frother, be sure to have plenty of room in the container because this can be a sloppy adventure. The dressing should be made ahead so the flavors have time to mix and mellow. Just be sure to agitate it before using.
There's an order to the assembly of this salad, which can be done within an hour before serving. Place the arugula in a bowl and add the dressing. Toss so the arugula is well coated. Add most but not all of the watermelon cubes and toss very, very lightly. Add the feta and again toss lightly. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with the remaining watermelon. Again, it's the watermelon that's the star here and if it all slipped to the bottom of the bowl, that wouldn't be helpful. Be sure to keep this salad refrigerated until the last minute and to serve it quite chilled.
A last detail for this salad is how it is served. Generally, I'm a fan of the salad bowl. Not for this salad. A 7-inch plate (dessert plate size) lets your guests see more of the salad and keeps it from marinating at the bottom of the bowl. Plating it this way helps to show it off and makes an attractive start to a meal. It also gives guests a better opportunity to get a good look and realize that yes, that really is watermelon in a salad. Some may wonder what a fruit is doing among the greens and dairy but they'll understand after the first bite. Enjoy!

1.) Go for a walk. Even a brisk 10 minute walk can help reduce stress levels, increase circulation and enhance feeling of well being. It is recommended for people to get 30 minutes of exercise in a day. This can be done all at one time or split up for instance in three 10 minutes blocks of time. A nice brisk walk can increase feelings of well being by increasing endorphin levels.
2.) Talk to a friend. Talking things out with a good friend or significant other can help reduce tension and worry.
3) Go for a a swim. This is the land of 10,000 lakes, correct? Meaning it is an excellent place to go for a swim.
4.) Take a relaxing bath, add in some calming music, and some bath salts for aromatherapy.
5.) Take a bike ride. The are lots of bike trails located around and throughout MN. Don't have a bike? No problem, you can rent one from places such as local bike shops or Nice Ride MN. A simple Google search will help you find rentals in your area, if available.
6.) If you have a dog, take it for a walk. It will be beneficial and relaxing for you both.
7.) Read a book or magazine. Take sometime out of your day to finally read that book or magazine that you've been wanting to.
8.) Listen to some relaxing music. Listen to your favorite classical, spa, or whatever music you find relaxing.
9.) Take a 20 minute nap. Even this short time has proved to be beneficial to one's health.
10.) Watch your favorite movie or watch one that you've been meaning to. Even if you've seen the same movie several times.

I'm sorry for not searching previus posts on this topic, I just truly don't have the time. How do I know if I have ammonia buildup and how do I get rid of it?
My nighttime diapers smell like ammonia when I change LO in the am. When it gets to wash time (2days) the ammonia smell in the pail liner is so strong it burns my eyes and takes my breathe away. I wash 1 cold wash, then normal wash on hot with tide original soap. I do have an issue of how much soap to use, not only with dipes but with reg. clothes. I barely use any. Then a quick wash cycle on cold for a final rinse. I have noticed I do have buildup. I do strip and have recently stripped my dipes. I do a regular washing as mentioned above and then 3-4 complete wash cycles on hot only using water.
What do I need to do to change and also how much soap do u ladies use? I really am having a hard time adjusting to this as we have a new FL washer and constantly are using too much soap. I literally push the button on the tide bottle dispenser twice. Just push down without holding it and that's how much I put in my washer. Obviously too much but any less seems too little to me.

Florida Panthers: 2010-11 schedule set for release June 22
Mark your calendars: the 2010-11 regular-season schedule for all 30 teams is scheduled to be released at 3 p.m. on June 22.
It's coming out much earlier than usual this year, but it makes sense since the league will have everyone's attention with the NHL awards the next night and the draft on June 25-26.
I will talk to GM Dale Tallon that day to get his thoughts on the Panthers' schedule.
—– Also, the Panthers are expected to release their preseason schedule sometime next week. No globe-trotting this preseason. The team will open training camp on-ice at Incredible Ice on Sept. 18. One of their preseason games is already set — they'll play the Bruins in Rochester, N.Y. on Sept. 23.
—– One last note: I will be attending the NHL awards show in Las Vegas on June 23, so I hope to blog and tweet (@sgorten) from there that night.

It's rare that a Florida sporting event runs the risk of delay from a massive snowfall. But that's exactly what Steve Partington is coping with. Steve is the director of the Snowbird Baseball Classic tournament, which is in its second year in the Port Charlotte area. A three-week (Feb. 28 – Mar. 20) affair, the Snowbird features 21 NCAA Division III baseball teams, along with Division I schools Duquesne, St. Louis University, Farleigh Dickenson, and The Ohio State University.
The current spate of bad weather in the nation's Northeast has made administering the tournament, no mean feat when all conditions are ideal, a bear of a task. "Teams are calling and asking for more practice facilities to be made available," Steve states. "And that's requiring us to scramble to come up with suitable venues to meet the demand."
The primary tournament venues are North County Regional Park on O'Donnell Boulevard in Port Charlotte and South County Regional Park on Cooper Street in Punta Gorda. There are four practice and secondary venues: Port Charlotte, Venice, North Port, and Charlotte high schools.
In 2009, according to Sean Doherty of the Charlotte Harbor Visitor & Convention Bureau (Florida Weekly Jan. 28, 2010), the tournament generated more than $2.5 million in direct expenditures and more than 2,800 hotel room nights, showcasing Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf Islands as a vacation destination. Baseball issues notwithstanding, that fact alone makes an already complex responsibility even more daunting for Partington and his staff. But, he doesn't mind.
Partington, an ex-coach and ex-umpire of more than 35 years' experience in the Big Ten, SEC, MAC, and ACC collegiate conferences, is doing this for the players. "I wanted to say involved in college ball here in Florida, and the best way was to start the Snowbird Classic."

Strategize? Gilkes was issuing direct orders to county staff.
I'm just glad Walker is willing to make public staff who are funded by taxpayers do his own personal bidding. It shows such a strong regard for public dollars and high moral character to use them for his own gain and no one elses.
Walker's first priority as then county executive and member of the Milwaukee community was to be on the scene and available to the family that lost their child.
Politics evolved because he wasn't there. He looked like he was hiding when the community needed him. I have worked for many companies that lost workers in accidents, suicides and from illness. Management was always there when the news was broken to coworkers.
When we think of reforming everything to rebuild government maybe the traditional way of respect we should reaffirm to retain as a custom.Hide replies
When executive functioning takes a back seat to political viability, we all lose. Look at Chris Christie in NJ following Hurricane Sandy...he took no time to huddle alongside his top campaign aides prior to engaging in a public response because his instinct is towards public service and not perverse self-interest.
What did Governor Doyle do, and the Mayor of Milwaukee following this tragedy?
Always astounding that the only person to point fingers at, is Walker.
Good for Nardelli in taking the opposite attitude from the one Cindy Archer was taking with regard to Open Records requests. 'Slow walking' Open Records requests is a violation of state statutes, though one without much of any consequence (they can be sued, but there is no criminal punishment.)Hide replies
Sure, sure, but he was just the boss, not the guy in charge.
BS Walker. Walker is trying to cover his neglect with respect to his ordering a halt to building inspections on county owned facilities as a way to cut budgets. Walker IS culpable, due to his ending building inspections of the ramp, thus causing a dangerous and tragic situation to occur. This kids death is on Walker.
There doesn't appear to be any "smoking gun" in those e-mails. Yeah, Walker is worried about the incident staining him and effecting his campaign, but elected officials are allowed to worry about those sorts of things. People being paid by the County, not so much.
The fact that it was done through private e-mail instead of the county, certainly points to the blurring of lines between campaigning and running government business. And calls into question any denials of knowledge of a private router system in county offices and knowledge of campaign work being done on the public dime. But, that ship has sailed.
As I've said before, Walker isn't much of a man. Instead of just going out and addressing the tragedy, he has his political people put their fingers to the wind to find out how to best shield him from the potential fallout. This is a totally self-interested little jerk who has no business looking after the welfare of our citizens. What an embarrassment, what a liar.
What a coward Scott Walker is! He has to hide behind private emails. Boy, and here conservatives treat him as a hero. He's a yellow as they come and his comments show that!
Let's face it, if history is an indication, his campaign is calling the shots at the state too. Probably why we're doing so poorly economically and he had to borrow $1.2 billion cause his policies put us so far in the hole!
Sounds like a carefully-crafted response handed to Walker by his high-priced out-of-state criminal defense teamHide replies
Most likely the campaign had to make the remarks as Walker is apparently unable to do anything without their approval. Especially when it came to trying to cover up what they suspected was his fault due to his shabby running of the county.
Spin baby spin, the machine is working this week overtime because of his actions
I can see why Nardelli didn't accompany Walker to Madison.

Tuesday the Portsmouth Chamber of Commerce held a breakfast featuring Governor Hassan as the speaker. Hassan gave a 'State of the State' speech discussing topics from the unemployment rate and education to equal pay. This author was in attendance and asked the Governor why she continues to use the study that claims women earn .77 to a man's $1.00 even though the study has been proven inaccurate by the Department of Labor. Her response was less than stellar.
Essentially Governor Hassan admitted she is choosing to use studies that push her false narrative that women don't get paid equally as men. Rather than use factual evidence that proves her study is inaccurate and incorrect, Hassan would rather choose bogus facts to continue pushing women into believing they are somehow valued lesser than men for votes. This is not only egregious but this is hardly the behavior Granite Staters expect from their Governor. Yesterday Democrats the House continued Hassan's lies about equal pay when they voted to pass the equal pay bill.
Facts matter and the facts have proven over and over again that women do indeed earn equal pay. What Democrats and Governor Hassan now admit is they don't care about the facts. What they care about is continuing to 'dumb down' women into thinking they are as not worthy as men so Democrats can gain votes in the next election. Frankly, this is more dishonest and disingenuous than the debunked study Hassan continues to use. Once again, Granite Staters, especially women, deserve better.

Blossom Dearie: Rhode Island Is Famous For You
Rhode Island Is Famous For You
Blossom Dearie (vocals)
Soubrette Sings Broadway Hit Songs (Verve 000268702)
Blossom Dearie (vocals), Jimmy Rowles (piano),
others unidentified.
Composed by Howard Dietz & Arthur Schwartz. Arranged by Russ Garcia.
Recorded: Los Angeles, February 19, 1960
Rating: 93/100 (learn more)
When Jack Haley (Wizard of Oz's Tin Man) inventoried the best-known products of 21 states for Broadway's Inside U.S.A. (1948), time travelers from 30 years thence might've sworn "Rhode Island Is Famous for You" was a Dave Frishberg song. David, however, was but 15, and couldn't claim credit for this witty ditty by Shubert Alley veterans Dietz & Schwartz. Yet whoever wrote it, Blossom Dearie was born to sing it. No matter that Russ Garcia's needlessly cutesy xylophone/accordion/clarinet-laden arrangement is akin to topping an éclair with a chocolate fudge sundae. Thanks to this track, Rhode Island's fame will forever Blossom.

Profile Last Updated: January 21, 2008
Dressew® Supply Ltd., on west Hastings, is well known among local designers, crafters and sewing enthusiasts for its huge selection of fabrics and for its amazing inventory of accessories. It's also known as the place to go for bargains, drawing customers from all over BC to its easily accessible downtown location.
Two Floors of Fabulous Finds
On the main floor, shoppers can browse through row after row of faux fur, knits, sequins, velvets, cottons, vinyl and upholstery fabrics. There's also a huge selection of wigs and costume supplies, such as beaded Mardi Gras masks, sparkling tiaras and a rainbow of feather boas. Die-hard bargain hunters should head directly for the lower floor to wander the aisles of needles, thread, zippers, ribbon, buttons, appliqués, shoulder pads, knitting supplies and more. For example, you can find a bag of 1,440 buttons for $3.99, an assortment of leather remnants for $2.99 or a pair of large craft scissors for under a dollar.
Shopping for Special Occasions or Just for Fun
Though shoppers are drawn to the store for the great selection and prices, many visit just to browse and let their imaginations run wild. As you walk along the bulging aisles, you often hear giggling and laughter as people make their own fun discoveries. This is especially true around Halloween—a particularly busy time for Dressew. Racks of children's costumes, ghoulish decorations and Halloween-themed fabrics are brought in to boost the regular inventory. The store takes on a festive air as shoppers stream in to search for the perfect wig, mask or costume material.

Comments about BJs Wholesale Club Franklin 6-In-1 Game Table:
It looked like a great set of games for the kids, but ended up being just one (foozball). Hard to assemble and the end was nice looking, but not able to store games layers not in use. Ping pong table layer is so thin that the ball does not bounce. The air pressure for hockey does not completely float the puck.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

JWC TO HELEN WELSH ; 25 April 1842; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18420425-JWC-HW-01; CL 14: 166-167
Monday night [25 April 1842]
My dearest Helen
The kiss I gave to your letter and the little papercutter was a better acknowledgement than I can make for them now—on paper—truly they came just at the right moment—to be a little consolation to me under the sorrowful thoughts which the sight of Jeannie's birthday gifts and letters gave rise to. How could I help being reminded of my next birth-day—should I live to see it—when the letter full of blessings, and like my Uncles to Jeannie enclosing money—which sure as the day came round, never failed to find me wherever I was, would for the first time be missing— But all days of the year there will be something missing now!—why dread that particular one?—once for all I have no Mother any more—
Since nothing has been said to Mrs Martin say nothing—it is better so—and for the locket—do not return it to me— I give it to you—it was my gift to her and there is something very wretched in inheriting ones own gifts— I must have them every one out of my sight—
The dreadful box which has lingered so long—thro my cowardice about meddling with any of her things—has at length this evening got itself packed better or worse, and will be sent off to-morrow— The things for Mrs Martin, a plaster tea-pot &c are not addressed I believe—but you will send them in proper order and the blue dress for Sophy1—
There is a little parcel for Mrs Russel and another for Margaret Hiddlestone—these you must be kind enough to wrap up together and forward to Mrs Russel as soon as convenient— I have a broach to go to Mrs Russel but that I will send by post—only these little things, which she must be familiar with the look of, I thought she might also like to have—
Oh if I were done with all this sad work, tho after it there is to come—nothing! The furniture will be arriving next—and that my good little Jeannie cannot save me from—cannot smuggle out of my way— I have been in fear of it tonight—tomorrow I suppose it will come— I enclose a note for Mrs Martin which you will give her along with the things when you receive them
Yours affectionately /

I have a domain controller running server 2012 std. In the default domain policy I set up a folder in User Configuration>Windows Settings>Folders The path is \\MyServer\MyShare\%USERNAME%
This works well. Any user that logs in gets a folder on the server the same as their user name. I'm also automatically mapping to that folder. What I can't figure out is how to set each folder so that only that user (and the admin) has access to it. Is this possible through Group Policy?

2010 Research Summary
Hashing Algorithms for Scalable Image Search
View Current Project Information
Brian Kulis1 and Trevor Darrell
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
A common problem in large-scale data is that of quickly extracting nearest neighbors to a query from a large database. In computer vision, for example, this problem arises in content-based image retrieval, 3-d image reconstructions, human body pose estimation, object recognition problems, and other problems. This project focuses on developing algorithms for quickly and accurately performing large-scale image searches using hashing techniques. Some particular contributions include incorporating hashing methods for learned metrics as well as for performing locality-sensitive hashing over arbitrary kernel functions, two prominent scenarios arising in modern computer vision applications. Recent work has aimed to learn appropriate hash functions for a given image search task in order to minimize the memory overhead required for accurate searches. We have applied our algorithms to several large-scale data sets including the 80 million images of the Tiny Image data set and other large content-based image retrieval data sets.

What does your boyfriend know about the qualifications of the persons who were hired? Might they have more relevant education or experience for the particular position than your boyfriend has? Were they regular permanent employees of the company prior to their selection for this position (i.e. were they internal promotions)? How much younger are the persons who were hired? Your boyfriend will have the burden of proving the discrimination should he wish to sue for illegal age discrimination. This can be very hard to do, especially if the employer can point to anything remotely reasonable for why it made the selections it did, so long as those reasons didn't involve illegal discrimination.

I'll echo PG's advisory "warning" with a twist: (Many) legal issues are complicated. Explanations and comments here might not fully identify or explain the ramifications of your particular problem. I do not give legal advice as such (and such is impermissible here at any rate). Comments are based on personal knowledge and experience and legal info gleaned over a quarter century, and every state has differing laws on and avenues to address most topics. If you need legal advice, you need to consult (and pay) a professional so that you may have someone to hold accountable. Acting on personal and informational advice from a stranger on the internet is a bad idea -- at least not without your own thorough due dilience/research and confirmation as it applies to your situation.

Axel Rohrbach Special: Working in a Team
[Written by Axel Rohrbach]
It may sound very easy and clear, but working in a team has a lot of faces to look at (figuratively). I know a lot of audio guys in very different situations. Reaching from "one-man-shows" offering everything related to a specific topic (which could be as wide as "multimedia") to large pre-production companies doing sound design for movies only, you can find anything in between and around it. The positive and negative aspects listed below can potentially occur, but neither the positive nor the negative issues are there in all companies. I see guys in all of those situations who are totally happy and satisfied in their role and guys who hate being in a specific scenery.
1. Working alone: there are a lot of Sound Designers working freelance from home or a one man studio. This can definitely be perfect for some people – it is not for me. You can organize your time in any way you like (besides sticking up to deadlines and milestones), you have fewer distractions and you are as free as one can be in your evolvement. On the other hand you have to spend more time in doing non-audio-related things like finding jobs or taking care of the studio rooms, insurances etc. Getting feedback from others is more difficult and might be less concrete. This feedback may not only be how your sounds work or how your sound quality is, but also how you communicate with people, how you can maximize your efficiency or anything else you can think of.
2. Working in a small team (two or three guys): this can work perfectly, you have more conversations, more inspiration and your co-workers may become your best buddies. I think there might be the chance that once you have a good working routine, nothing will change for the future. Also, if something goes wrong personally there is no-one more or less impartially involved to get things back on track. I saw a lot of small teams, founded by two friends, which crashed only two years after the start.
3. Being a contract Sound Designer in a big facility takes off a lot of organizational things from you, which lets you focus on your job. In most cases you don't even have to care about your equipment, everything is there, everything runs – the sound effects library has been installed by a librarian, the network is maintained by an onsite system administrator, jobs are right on your desktop together with schedules every morning, you just have to process them. The downside is that you may be restricted in your freedom. It is not easy to get new equipment; it has to run through a bunch of instancesuntil it finally is ordered. It is not easy to say "My working results are better if I work from 2pm to 11pm, so I prefer having a free morning in the sun and come to work later". Because of the size of the company, there is quite a lot of great conversation and helpful feedback the whole day. I've seen many employees who are not able to look beyond the company's nose, unable to find jobs / clients on their own because they have never had to, used to expensive equipment, unable to think of what is really necessary for their own work. This results in spending way too much when they start working freelance, or if they start their own company one day.Read More

Last night's Heroes of Cosplay episode headed to Portland Oregon for the Wizard World costume competition, with over 50,000 attendees. In Los Angeles, Chloe, Michele and Meg "spontaneously" decide to cosplay together as 1950s versions of Poison Ivy (Chloe), Catwoman (Michele), and Harley Quinn (Chloe). Meanwhile, Yaya decides to cosplay as the New 52 Batgirl so she can drive a custom-crafted Batmobile. We shift focus again to Katie George who will attend as Injustice Wonder Woman and Riki, her friend, will compete against her by revisiting the costume she tried to create last time, Ashe from League of Legends.
As usual, it's a race against time. Does no one ever try to plan these things months in advance?
Chloe reaches out to her dad for help, a special effects expert -- you know, just a guy who INVENTED THE LIGHT SABER. Also, Grant Imahara from Mythbusters. Just a few helpers to create the special effects on Chloe's Poison Ivy costume in which her flowers are animatronic puppets.
The judges include Yaya Han, Ivy Doomkitty (master cosplayer), and Jason David Frank (Power Ranger actor). Yaya points out that the contest has no division or prejudging, with performance judged just as much as craftsmanship.
Glowing weapons (Ase's bow, Wonder Woman's lasso) seems to be a theme. This is a problem when the batteries die, which is amazing that nobody thought of bringing extra batteries. Not that it matters -- under the harsh lights, anything that glows looks just like...things that don't glow.
- Best Group: Elgar & Elza (original costume)
- Best Male Villain: Giant Alien (original costume)
- Best Female Hero: Wonder Woman (Katie George)
- Best in Show: Sauron
- Honorable Mention: Dovahkin from Skyrim
- Honorable Mention: 50s Batman villains Poison Ivy, Catwoman, Harley Quinn
This is the second episode in a row when the cast has actually won something. Maybe the male cosplayers will have a decent shot at it next time.
