One of the newest additions to the Green Wave coaching staff, assistant coach Jelena Jurlina is no stranger to the program, joining the staff after an impressive collegiate career with Tulane.
Jurlina is responsible for coaching throwing events and recruiting.
While competing for the Green Wave, Jurlina was an instrumental member of the squad. She was named Outdoor MVP in 2003 after collecting 21 points for the Wave in the conference championships that year. She qualified for three NCAA national championships in two events, and earned all-Conference USA honors 11 times during her career. She owns the school outdoor record in the discus, and was in the top three in the javelin and both indoor and outdoor shot put.
A native of Zadar, Croatia, Jurlina graduated from Tulane in 2005 with a bachelor's degree in marketing and management. In addition to working with the track and field team, she is currently pursuing a master's degree in liberal arts at Tulane.

The Seattle Sounders FC match with Montreal Impact has been moved to Sunday March 23rd due to inclement weather. The Match was originally scheduled for Saturday March 22nd but had to be moved due to snow. Start time for Sundays match will be 4pm ET.
The Montreal Impact are 0-2 after two State of Texas road losses to Dallas and Houston . "It's the third game of the season, but we need to start getting some points,"said Impact Coach Frank Klopas "It's good to be home.
Montreal will be looking to get the much needed points in it's home season opener against Sounders FC Sounders FC who are 1-1 on the season.
Seattle Sounders FC won their home opener 1-0 against Real Salt Lake. Seattle Sounders FC then took a punch to the gut courtesy of England International Jermain Defoe's two goal's to help Toronto FC pull off a 2-1 winner at Century Link Field.
"There were too many times when we got the ball behind their midfield line, but we didn't get the ball behind their back four. Seattle Sounders FC Coach Sigi Schmid said of the teams loss to Toronto FC.
"That's when we went back to square instead of going forward, and that's something we will work on and get better with."
Both Seattle and Toronto will be missing two keys players to their respective offenses on Sunday.
Toronto FC will be without striker Marco Di Vaio who will be serving the last game of his three match ban . Di Vaio is Toronto FC leading score.
Seattle Sounders FC will be without the services of U.S International Team Captain Clint Dempsey. Dempsey will be serving the first of his two game ban for an off ball incident that occurred in Seattle Sounders FC loss to Toronto FC.
Game notes:
This is the only league meeting between the teams this season.
The Impact have won both all-time meetings between the teams, a 4-1 win in Montréal in 2012, and a 1-0 winin Seattle to open the season a year ago.
The Impact have lost their opening two matches of the season for the first time in three MLS seasons.
They started 2013 with four consecutive victories.
Sounders FC will now face four of there next five games on the road.

Ah, good ole Glenn Beck. A man so simple that he says whatever pops into his head. Even (or especially) when he knows he's right—which is all the time.
Beck, who will peddling his paranoia in Tulsa on Saturday, this week urged Christians to abandon churches that practice something terrible—social justice. That's simply a code word (Beck claims) for communism. And National Socialism, which is Nazism, which is why Obama is really like Hitler, which… you get the picture.
Some Christians, however, are fighting back, as well they should. The Rev. Jim Wallis of Sojourners, for one, has called Beck on it. Wallis points out that Beck, a Mormon, is ignoring the traditions of his own faith, not to mention centuries of Christian tradition and practice in other denominations. Oops!

Christians Push Back: Beck Criticized for 'Social Justice' Comments
Posted by Alternative Tulsa at 4:34 PM
2 comments:
Becko was probably hoping subconsciously (or not) to divert all those funds going for 'social justice' to an even more deserving target: himself.
I still look for him to have a very public breakdown when he "screws the pooch" on one of his tirades. That boy just isn't right in the head.

I should not have been happy to hear that the victims of the Kansas City shooter were not Jewish. I have nothing against gentiles. But I was relieved to learn that no Jews were harmed. I am angry at myself for being happy, and feel guilty.
The more I thought about this atrocity, the sadder I became. What had anyone done to deserve the miserable death brought on by a misanthrope? What encouraged this evil man to attack a Jewish center and try to murder Jews? Why should anyone die, Jew or gentile, because a person is so terribly misguided?
Thank God the United States is a country where hate crimes are the exception and not the rule; where our government prosecutes perpetrators. Thank God we are in a democracy where the rule of law has meaning, where power grabbers generally do not foist their own agenda against the will of the masses.
How much sadder would we be, today, were we in the Ukraine. President Putin of Russia has already admitted that Russia intended the annexation of Crimea from the start, despite Russian treaty obligations to the Ukraine. More recently Putin's forces moved into Eastern Ukraine. Is it a coincidence that during these days of Russia's renewed imperialism that there are signs of new anti-Jewish hostility in the Ukraine? President Obama and Secretary of State Kerry were both quick to denounce Ukraine's letter to the Jewish community demanding that Jews register and carry cards to identify them as Jews. The letter was distributed by armed thugs and posted at synagogues and the gathering places of the kehillah (Jewish community).
As Jews we cannot sit idly by and watch. In the days ahead we will mark Yom Hashoah, the annual commemoration of the Holocaust. The most important slogan of that day is "never again." We cannot forget that among the first of the Nuremberg laws put into place by Hitler and his cronies was a requirement for Jews and other minorities to be readily identifiable.
Hitler's motivation was the purification of the Aryan race. It was a fabrication, and when advisors told him that he would not get away with it, he reminded them of the forgotten persecution of Albanians decades earlier. The Holocaust ended nearly 70 years ago, and yet its lessons still have not been absorbed.
If the lessons were learned there would be no more acts of genocide, but there have been far too many to count in the past decades. If the lessons were learned, there would be no more forceful annexations of neighboring states by megalomaniacs. If the lessons were learned, ethnic identity cards would be a long forgotten memory and not a procedure currently being renewed. If the lessons were remembered, the Ku Klux Klan and other supremacy groups would exist only in distant memory.
We have yet to absorb the lessons of the Holocaust, but my faith is not diminished that the lessons will be learned. After all we also just finished celebrating Passover, and at the Seder each Jew was reminded that in every generation [oppressors] stand upon us to finish us and the Holy One saved us from their hand.

If you're the type of person into sports wagering, then this may be something worth checking into...not that any of us would condone such behavior. But that said, the early numbers have been released on who has the best shot to win the 2014 World Series.
The Toronto Blue Jays were the odds-on favorite to win the whole thing last year. They made huge moves in the offseason thanks to a fire sale from the Miami Marlins. But injuries derailed those hopes early and they finished with a dismal effort. Currently (as of Saturday afternoon), they are listed as tied with the Tampa Bay Rays for the 12th best odd to win the fall classic. Here are the current odds for each team:
- Los Angeles Dodgers, +700
- Washington Nationals, +800
- Detroit Tigers, +900
- T4 - St. Louis Cardinals, +1000
- T4 - Boston Red Sox, +1000
- Texas Rangers, +1100
- T7 - Oakland Athletics, +1400
- T7 - Atlanta Braves, +1400
- T7 - New York Yankees, +1400
- T10 - Los Angeles Angels, +1500
- T10 - Cincinnati Reds, +1500
- T12 - Tampa Bay Rays, +1800
- T12 - Toronto Blue Jays, +1800
- T14 - Kansas City Royals, +2500
- T14 - Cleveland Indians, +2500
- T14 - San Francisco Giants, +2500
- T14 - Pittsburgh Pirates, +2500
- T14 - Baltimore Orioles, +2500
- T19 - Arizona Diamondbacks, +3300
- T19 - Seattle Mariners, +3300
- Philadelphia Phillies, +3500
- Milwaukee Brewers, +4000
- Chicago White Sox, +4500
- T24 - Chicago Cubs, +5500
- T24 - Colorado Rockies, +5500
- San Diego Padres, +6600
- T27 - Minnesota Twins, +8000
- T27 - New York Mets, +8000
- Miami Marlins, +10000
- Houston Astros, +25000
Now if you have faith those lonely Houston Astros, you can pick up a nice payday if they were win the World Series. Now before you fall over laughing, remember that longer odds have paid off in the past.
On September 12, 2011, the St. Louis Cardinals were 500-to-1 to win and the National League title and 999-1 to win the World Series. A fan in Vegas put $250 down on both at the MGM Grand. The Cards won the NLDS in five games, the NLCS in six, and the World Series in seven games. The fan walked away with a grand total of $374, 750 for his efforts.
Now granted, this IS the Astros we're talking about, but we also know that strange things can and often do happen in Major League Baseball. So now that you've seen the numbers, where does your team rank? Do you agree with the odds, or does a possible long-shot stand out as an option to drop a few bucks?

Washington DC ATTRACTIONS See all
The Smithsonian
Indeed, the Smithsonian Institution is one of the most famous collections of museums in the world. For under the Smithsonian banner are nineteen world-class museums, nine research centers, and the National Zoological Park. Its collection of some 140 million spans the entire world including artworks, scientific specimens, artifacts, and other objects. So large is the collection that only one percent is on display at any given point.
The Smithsonian Institution includes such popular attractions as the National Air and Space Museum, the National Museum of African Art, the Freer Gallery of Art, the National Museum of American Indian, the National Museum of American History, the National Museum of Natural History, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum and National Portrait Gallery.
The Institution also includes low-key but fascinating collections in the Anacostia Community Museum, the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, and the National Postal Museum. All the museums have stunning permanent collections, but always be on the lookout for temporary exhibitions. And if you need a respite from being indoors, step outside and wander through the sunken Sculpture Garden at the Hirshhorn Museum or watch the rare giant pandas at play at the National Zoological Park.
Practical Info
To get a grip on the museums, make your first stop Smithsonian Castle, which houses the Smithsonian Visitors Center. This informative first stop on the Mall is a source for an orientation film, multilingual touch-screen displays and free guides and maps. It also has a café, where you can grab a cup of coffee and plan your day.
Ten of its nineteen museums are located on the National Mall, in downtown D.C., with the rest found throughout the city. All are easy to get to via public transportation.

One Response to "Sandy Hook Hoax - Sandy Hook Hoax Compared To A Real School Shooting "
- Anonymous5 July 2013 at 21:18
I work at an airport where we must perform live drill scenarios for emergency preparedness. This Sandy Hook scene looks very familiar - a whole lot of nothing going on. The over acting is similar to the volunteers we recruit to act as victims and family members in our staged plane crash/terrorist event. The actual "scene of the disaster" has only designated personnel, the other elements of the scenario take place at different sites, but all activity is controlled and scripted.ReplyDelete

Multiple Chemical Sensitivity is a chronic condition marked by greatly increased sensitivity to many different chemicals, such as new paint, carpeting, cosmetics, tobacco smoke, pesticides, automobile exhaust, gas stoves, and many commercial household-cleaning products, among other things.
Although women are affected more often than men, MCS occurs in people of all ages, races, and economic backgrounds.
People who live with MCS commonly suffer from debilitating symptoms provoked by chemical exposures. These symptoms include shortness of breath, migraines, gastrointestinal problems, aching joints and muscles, weakness, memory loss, impaired balance and concentration problems and even seizures and anaphylactic shock. There is no known cure for MCS.
The biggest issue for those with MCS is creating a safe home environment where chemical exposures are minimal.
In Homesick, Susan takes viewers on a road trip to experience how drastically MCS has altered the lives of its victims. Through her extensive research, which includes over thirty interviews, Susan explores the lives of doctors, architects, teachers, housewives and students living with this disease. She takes us into these brave survivors' non-toxic homes, which include tents, a house on stilts and a teepee. Susan is the connecting thread between these stories as she narrates the journey from her MCS-accessible van.
Homesick explores the daily struggle of people with MCS. It takes us into their homes to show just how debilitating this disease is and how difficult and imperative it is for chemically sensitive people to find and keep safe housing. Because Susan herself has extensive chemical sensitivities, the film is a thoughtful, compassionate and sometimes even humorous look at life with MCS.

Former southern Baptist minister and televangelist Pat Robertson, most known as the head of the 700 Club, has advised a woman to sell a house that she believes is haunted.
It seems the woman wrote to Robertson saying she did not want to purchase the house in the first place because "the Lord tried to stop us from buying it at every turn." However, her husband insisted and soon they moved in.
The woman complained that unusual things were happening, including doors opening and closing on their own, items disappearing and objects falling off shelves.
Likely believing that all ghosts are the "unclean spirits" spoken of in the Bible, Robertson responded by saying, "I would sell that house in a heartbeat. I would run to the nearest realtor, put it on the market, cut the price in half and get out."
In case she did not like that idea he added that she should "get a bunch of believers" to attend at her home, anoint each room and "plead the blood of Jesus and cast demons out." He also noted that it would likely be "a long fight."
It seems clear that Robertson knows little about the reality of ghosts. They are, for the most part, simply the spirits of those who have died and have chosen to remain earthbound for some reason. It could be that the spirits in her house were the former owners and do not wish to leave a home that they love.
It might also be that something happened in the home, such as a murder or other crime that has kept them there in a state of limbo. A spirit or spirits could be acting out in order to draw attention to his or her fate.
It is also possible that the woman is experiencing poltergeist activity but the original article did not say if there were young teenagers in the home. Kids going through puberty tend to be all over the map with their emotions and their body's electrical activity can cause all kinds of seemingly paranormal activity.
Although Robertson responded it a manner that one would expect from his knowledge base, there are other ways to deal with unwanted and disruptive spirits. Sometimes just reminding them that they have passed over and need to move on can work. If not, there are psychics and other professionals in the field who can get to the root of the problem in order to determine the necessary action that needs to be taken.
This is a subject that this Examiner and co-writer Dawn Colclasure tackled in one of our recent books entitled Totally Scared: The Complete Book On Haunted Houses. This book was first issued by Saga Books of Calgary, AB but is no longer being sold through them due to difficulties coping with the current changes and costs related to the publishing field.
However, we plan to make this work available soon as an ebook for those that are interested in learning what to do if they find themselves in a similar situation. There are plenty of people out there who could help. One just needs to know what they do and where to find them.

College Hockey:Princeton Dominates Brown
ECAC Hockey League's Coaches vs. Cancer "Pink at the Rink†Promotion a Huge Success
PRINCETON, N.J. — Perhaps it was Brett Wilsons 100th career point. Maybe it was Matt Godlewskis three assists. Or maybe, just maybe, it was the pink-trimmed black uniforms that 10th ranked Princeton University wore to commemorate the ECAC Hockey Leagues Coaches vs. Cancer Pink at the Rink promotion.
Yeah, Ill put in a request to wear those again, laughed Wilson of the special jerseys following his two goal, one assist performance on Friday evening.
Whatever the reason, the host Tigers outlasted Brown University, 4-1, before a crowd of 1,540 at Hobey Baker Memorial Rink for their fifth win in their last six games and their seventh straight victory over the visiting Bears, who suffered their eighth straight setback overall.
I thought we played well, and I give our guys credit, said Brown coach Roger Grillo, but we made a couple of mistakes, and Princeton capitalized.
Freshman goaltender Mike Clemente finished with 43 saves in defeat for Brown (2-20-4 overall, 2-14-2 in the ECAC), while junior netminder Zane Kalemba notched 25 stops for Princeton (19-7-0, 13-6-0). The Tigers outshot the Bears, 47-26, while the two schools combined to go scoreless on a total of seven power-play attempts.
I thought both goalies played well, and I thought it was a well-played game, clean and entertaining, said Grillo. I wish we could have gotten rewarded better, but thats the way it goes.
Princeton jumped on top at 11:47 of the opening period, with top scorer Wilson doing the honors. Cam Ritchies shot from the right side was stopped by Clemente, but Wilson was right there on the doorstep to put the rebound home for his eighth of the year.
I dont think we played our best, but you still have to try to win games when you dont, said the senior from Calgary.
Willy showed what he is, said Princeton coach Guy Gadowsky. Hes such a competitor. He had a tremendous game, and we needed that tonight.
The physical play picked up in the second period, as Clemente was shaken up in a goal-mouth collision with Princeton forward Cam MacIntyre; but the rookie netminder shrugged it off and stayed in the game. The score remained unchanged until the second half of the stanza, although Brown had a terrific chance to tie things up with 11:07 left as Harry Zolnierczyk came in late for a clear shot from the right slot, only to see Kalemba glove the puck.
Zane made some big saves to give us a chance when it was 1-0, said Wilson.
The Princeton goaltenders teammates repaid him for his efforts at 13:12 of the middle session. Wilson carried the puck down the right wing to the hash marks, and then fed linemate Lee Jubinville as he skated down the slot alone. The senior forward then shifted wide to his left and wristed a shot between Clemente and the left post to put Princeton up by two and also lift Wilson into the colleges century club with his 100th career point.
It feels special to do it with my parents here, said Wilson. I got here with some good linemates, in Grant Goeckner-Zoeller my first two years and then Lee Jubinville, and they made it easier for me.
The visiting Bears, though, clawed their way right back into the contest less than a minute later. Aaron Volpattis shot from the right side through traffic clinked in off the far post at 14:33 for his fifth of the season, with assists going to Matt Vokes and Jeff Buvinow.
Wilson later tipped a shot just wide of the right post with 1:38 left before intermission.
Early in the third period, Matt Arhontas stole the puck at the Princeton blueline from Brown defenseman Mike Stuart and headed up ice all alone. The sophomore cut to his backhand in close, but Clemente made a pad save to keep the Bears within a goal.
Vokes took a short pass at the Princeton blueline and would have been in all alone on his own breakaway with 13:23 left, but the play was ruled offside.
When we made a mistake, Princeton pounced on it, said Grillo. On the flip side, we didnt capitalize on their mistakes, and that was the difference in the game.
I thought we played well, said Gadowsky. Brown played tenacious defense.
Wilson regained Princetons two-goal cushion with less than eight minutes remaining in regulation after Browns Jarred Smith had been banished for elbowing at 10:25. The Tigers milled about in front of the Brown net, looking for a loose puck following a shot by Kevin Kaiser, before Wilson barreled in and put it home just before he was upended into the end boards, one second after the power play had expired.
If you want to score, you definitely have to go to the net, said Wilson. Kevin was battling and got a shot, and the goalie was down and I was fortunate enough to get it.
A guy like Willy just keeps going and finds a way, said Gadowsky. Its fun to watch.
Kalemba stopped Zolnierczyk point-blank on a one-timer with just over four minutes left, before Tyler Beachell closed out the scoring by hitting an empty Brown net with 12 seconds remaining, as Godlewski notched his third assist of the night.
Wilson and Jubinville will take their last regular-season home skate at Baker Rink along with senior captain Brandan Kushniruk on Saturday night when the Tigers host league-leading Yale.
Its gone too fast, said Wilson of his four years at Princeton, which will likely include one more playoff round at home. It will be emotional to go through it with those two guys, and its been special.

It used to be that thoughts of metal roofing conjured futuristic, impersonal and stark images.
Today's homeowners are taking a brand new look at metal roofing and they apparently like what they see. According to the Metal Roofing Association, residential metal roofing sales have more than doubled over the last five years.
Metal roofs have a lot of benefits, something Mueller Inc.., a metal roofing and steel building systems manufacturer, has known for decades.

Economical: Many insurance companies in Texas offer discounts for homeowners with metal roofing meeting UL specifications.
Attractive: Mueller Inc. offers roofing in a stunning palette of colors: four shades of green, copper, three shades of red, burgundy, orange, charcoal, white, stone, gold, black and slate, among others.
In addition to metal roofing, Mueller Inc. also offers metal building systems and components.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. came within a half a lap of winning his second NASCAR Sprint Cup series win of 2014 Sunday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Earnhardt's Hendrick Motorsports crew took a chance by leaving him out during a late pit stop hoping that the No. 88 Chevy would have enough fuel to make it to the end.
It turned out there wasn't. But it was oh so close.
The No. 88 Chevy sputtered on the backstretch on the final lap, just enough to allow Brad Keselowski past. The engine did re-fire but Earnhardt didn't have enough speed to catch Keselowski and had to settle for second.
"It sucks to lose like that," Earnhardt said on pit road right after climbing from his car.
Earnhardt stayed out during the final caution period on lap 220 while the leaders came in. He kept the lead as the laps wound down with the only pressure coming from Keselowski. Earnhardt tried to save fuel but Keselowski caught him with 10 laps to go and Earnhardt was forced to race him. In the end the gamble didn't pay off and Earnhardt was left in second. Later Earnhardt said that the team was able to gamble due to their win in the season opening Daytona 500. Thanks to NASCAR's new playoff system, the win all but assured Earnhardt a spot in the Chase allowing him and the team to go for broke every race.
"Sure does. And that's a great point," Earnhardt said. "I think everybody has seen that over the last couple of weeks, that this format has definitely allowed teams to gamble like we have."
"You know, it did pay off.," he added. "Not the ultimate prize, but we did run second. We weren't going to -- as much as you want to win, and believe me, we were out there trying to win, you do take pride in a good performance, a good finish, and we weren't going to run in the top 5 if we hadn't have used that particular strategy, if we'd have run the same strategy as our competitors we would have probably run just inside the top 10 where we were all day."
Earnhardt said the difference Sunday was getting in clean air thanks to the pit stop gamble.
"I just couldn't get any ground, and we fought the car all day," Earnhardt said. "Just the air is so dirty behind everybody, the further back you get you've got less and less grip. Once we got the lead, it was like driving a Cadillac."
In the final laps, Earnhardt knew he needed to save fuel and was doing everything he could.
"I was lifting real early trying to save even more.," he said. "We figured we were a lap short, and I was lifting early and let Brad get there, and I felt like if we were good enough to hold him off, then we'd win the race. If we weren't, we would have saved enough fuel to have finished the race, at least get to the end. I can run out of gas on the back stretch and be okay, but if I run out off of 4 coming to the white it would've been big trouble, so I had to save a little bit. So I let him catch us and once he got there, I ran as hard as I could and could pull back away from him."
Earnhardt said that had he not run out of fuel, the win would have been his.
"As soon as I got to the top of 1 and 2 the last several laps," Earnhardt said. "I was real comfortable that he wasn't going to get to me, felt fine about if we had enough gas we weren't going to have a problem. But we didn't have enough gas."
While losing on the last lap might "suck", later Earnhardt was able to reflect on his third second place finish in the last ten races dating back to last season and look only at the positives.
"The gamble didn't pay off ultimately, but we were able to run in the top 5," he said. "We weren't going to do that, and with the strategy we were on and everybody else was on, it was a good strategy and gave us a chance to win. We definitely wouldn't have took that gamble had we not had the new points system, so we were able to really take advantage of that. Steve (crew chief Steve Letarte) is already going for broke, and he's having a fun time. It hurts to lose like that. We'd definitely love to be in victory lane right now, but our time will come. We'll keep going."

Try as I might, I cannot get Jungleflasher to detect my Lite On drive. Here's what I have done so far:
Switched SATA mode from AHCI to IDE
Booted Windows 7 x64 with driver signing disabled
Turned on Lite On DG16D2S drive, using Xecuter CK3 Lite and probe 3, all lights come on
Load up Jungleflasher 1.85b in Administrator mode, portio64 driver loads.
Cannot find my lite on drive in the DVDKey 32 tab after refreshing, with or without "Include non-IDE Ports" checked. I only see "No Drive Detected!" or my other drives (HDD, SSD, DVDRW, etc).
I tried connecting the drive to the Marvel SATA controller which is also on board. No dice there either.
This leaves me wondering, is the Intel Z68 chipset supported yet? Do I need to buy a VIA PCI card?
you need to get the via card or the x360usb pro...i recommend the ladder personally.
Always save your DVD Key first!! That is the Holy Fucking Grail of your XBox 360!!
AP26 has been defeated, AP25 has not...if you do not patch your games correctly, you WILL be flagged!!
Jungle Flasher Tutorial
ABGX 360 Settings/Tutorial
I would try using Jungleflasher 1.84 first and if your drive still doesn't show up then consider getting the via 6421 card or X360 Usb Pro like ComputerGeek said.
Since you are running Windows 7 x 64 bit, either one will benefit you but keep in mind that the via card doesn't work in express pci slots.
If I flash my Xbox 360, does that mean it can run Adobe Flash Player?
I don't always burn backups but when I do, I use verbatims. Stop truncating my friends. .
Got it working with the help of those on the IRC!
I needed to:
1: Connect the drive to SATA port 0 on the primary controller.
2: Boot the computer with the drive powered on. JF wouldn't see the drive until I did this.
After that I was able to extract the key. Now the drive is all flashed and working.
On another note, the Marvel controller might have also worked. I didn't realize until after I had got the drive flashed that the controller was disabled in the BIOS. I thought I enabled it, but apparently not. That would have been nice as I wouldn't have had to play around with Windows to get it booting in IDE mode, but I'm just glad I got the drive flashed and working.
glad you got it working...have fun.
Always save your DVD Key first!! That is the Holy Fucking Grail of your XBox 360!!
AP26 has been defeated, AP25 has not...if you do not patch your games correctly, you WILL be flagged!!
Jungle Flasher Tutorial
ABGX 360 Settings/Tutorial
I was close to buying that via6421 sata card until I came across this. I unplugged all my other ports, ensured that the drive was ejected and turned on before I booted up my computer and it showed up in jungled flasher for me. Also ensure that you have the sata ports set to IDE in the bios.
thank you!
... and to do that I change registry with:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
;Created by Vishal Gupta for AskVG.com
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\servic es\msahci]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\servic es\pciide]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\servic es\iaStorV]
after change registry,
reboot, press DEL or [F2] (enter BIOS), locate SATA options
change to IDE mode
save BIOS
booting ... windows 7 will auto install IDE new drivers
remember ... all steps of JungleFlasher v0.1.87 tutorial need to be fallow
XBOX360 Jasper, Lite-On, 83580c v1, LT+ 2.0 to LT+ 3.0
Windows 7 64bits
Chipset Z77 - MOBO: Asus P8Z77-V LX, with i7 3700
i changed of AHCI to IDE, may be SATA work too.

Did you get a full night's sleep last night? Let's hope so. Lack of sleep can cause everything from weight gain to increasing your chances for a heart attack, but can it potentially also cause brain damage? A new research study published in the Journal of Neuroscience shows that extended periods of sleeplessness can lead to permanent brain damage. The study found that inconsistent sleep could actually be hurting your brain and catnaps or sleeping in on the weekends won't reverse the damage.
"This is the first report that sleep loss can actually result in a loss of neurons," says neuroscientist Sigrid Veasey from the University of Pennsylvania. She says although many would believe that trying to make up for your "sleep debt" will help, it turns out that it won't fix the damage already done to your brain.
Veasey and her colleagues used a mouse model and put them through a sleep schedule comparable to that of human shift workers. The mice could only sleep for short periods inconsistently for several days. They found that brief periods of sleep caused massive brain damage in the mice causing them to lose 25% of their neurons in a part of the brain responsible for alertness and cognitive function.
The researchers believe that extended periods of wakefulness can actually kill the neurons in the brain that are directly related to your mood, which could also cause a risk of depression. Not getting your beauty rest can also bring additional stress into your life, learn more about this here. Keep in mind that the seldom all-nighter won't have long-term effects, but consistent lack of sleep will cause lasting injury to the brain.

Begun in 1972 by the Ladies Philoptochos Society, this yearly event has blossomed into one of the premier cultural events in the Southeast. The Holy Trinity-Holy Cross Greek Orthodox Cathedral Greek Food Festival is now the focal point for thousands from Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, and Georgia who for three days experience the Greeks' legendary zest for life. At the festival you can find authentic Greek cuisine, Mediterranean and Orthodox Christian souvenirs in the gift shop, and Greek dancing.
The Orthodox Church, sometimes called the Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox, or Eastern Orthodox Church is the first Christian Church. Orthodox Christians believe in Jesus Christ as God and in the church He established.
Her history begins with Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles and gave birth to the Church as described in the New Testament. Incredible as it seems, for almost twenty centuries she has continued in her undiminished and unaltered faith and practice.
Today her Apostolic doctrine, worship, and structure remain intact. The Orthodox Church is the living Body of Jesus Christ.
Orthodoxy is the second largest body in Christendom with 225 million people worldwide. In the USA and Canada there are 6 million Orthodox Christians.
She is the church of some of history's greatest theologians, scholars, and writers: John Chrysostom, Jerome, Augustine, Dostoyevesky, and Alexander Solzhentsyn.
Since 1972, the Festival has provided funding for many charities. Each year, proceeds of the Festival are donated to local charities. In recent years, these local charities have included: Magic Moments, The Bell Center, The Exceptional Foundation, The Ronald McDonald House, The Fire House Shelter, and The Greater Birmingham Ministries. Thank you for your support.
Come enjoy traditional and delectable delights prepared by the "at-home" Greek chefs of our community and served by them during the Greek Food Festival weekend. All mezzes (appetizers), entrees, and desserts are still homemade, as they have been for over thirty six years when the festival began, and are comprised of only the freshest and finest ingredients available.

A Daniel Agger header was enough to return Liverpool to winning ways as Southampton were dispatched 1-0 at Anfield.
On a day when Lucas Leiva returned from three months on the sidelines, the Reds were worthy winners.
They twice hit the woodwork before Agger found the net, and could have had a penalty when Suarez was dragged back in the box.
The Reds controlled the first half but had to bide their time for an opener. It almost came through Glen Johnson on 10 minutes when he met a Luis Suarez cross at the near post, but the resulting shot spun across goal and wide.
Jonjo Shelvey, playing in an advanced role alongside Suarez and Raheem Sterling, was twice denied in the opening period - once by a Paulo Gazzaniga save and again when an angled smack clattered the inside of the post.
There was a decent penalty shout when Suarez was dragged back inside the box, but he still managed to get a shot in, while Skrtel mis-controlled a Steven Gerrard centre with the goal at his mercy.
The opener finally arrived on 42 minutes when Suarez hit the crossbar with a bending free-kick. The ball fell to Johnson in a wide position and his cross was headed into the top corner by Agger.
Southampton gave a good account of themselves in the second period, allowing Lucas to come into his own defensively, holding the midfield with a composure and strength that Liverpool have missed over the previous months. The Brazilian lasted 88 minutes before being replaced by Jamie Carragher.
Jose Enrique could have put the game to bed when he burst into the box to receive a Suarez flick, but the Spaniard's aim was off. He again found himself in the box with 15 minutes remaining, this time forcing a palmed save with a well executed half-volley.
An intricate sequence of passing involving Johnson, Gerrard and Sterling gave Suarez a chance from close range, but he did not have time to adjust and the opportunity went begging.
The final chance of the game fell to Suarez, who dragged wide from 10 yards.

Do Your Due Diligence
You should thoroughly investigate your investment before you go through with the purchase. You should always do your homework. Although it may be tempting to purchase a property without taking time to dig into it, we do not recommend it. Here are a few suggestions:
- Read the contract in full
- If possible, physically visit the property
- If the property is a multi-family, acquire rental history, vacancy rates, etc.
- Know the area in which you are buying, so you know what to expect of that market
If a buyer is not certain that they want to purchase a particular property, then that buyer is advised not to bid on that property. If a buyer has not inspected and/or not performed due diligence on a property and desires to do so before purchasing the property, then that buyer is also advised not to bid on that property. As always, feel free to contact a Micoley representative at 888-662-1020 with any further questions.

Ian Sears Named Ralph Lauren Home President
November 25, 2011-- Home Textiles Today,
NEW YORK - Ian Sears, who has been chief marketing officer for Restoration Hardware, has been named to one of the most high profile jobs in home furnishings: president of Ralph Lauren Home.
The announcement was accompanied by the news that William Li, currently vp of marketing, advertising and communications for Ralph Lauren Home, has been promoted to senior vp, overseeing sales and merchandising as well as retaining his current responsibilities.
Both appointments come with the pending retirement of Frank Guzzetta as president. He will assist in the transition, the company said. Under Guzzetta, Ralph Lauren Home undertook a number of significant moves including taking over direct control of most of its home textiles program from licensee WestPoint Home, as well as new licensees in furniture and floor coverings.
Sears, who has also been senior vp in charge of direct-to-consumer business at Restoration Hardware, is a home industry veteran who earlier held senior positions with Macy's and Williams Sonoma. He will oversee all Ralph Lauren Home brands including Lauren, Chaps and American Living and report to Jackwyn Nemerov, executive vp of wholesale brands, licensed products, sourcing, merchandising, home and Asia Pacific.
Li, who joined the company in August 2010 following 18 years with Conde Nast, will also oversee planning and European business development for home. He reports to Sears and David Lauren executive vp of global advertising, marketing and communications.

Southern Illinois tight end MyCole Pruitt has been named to the 2014 College Football Performance Awards (CFPA) FCS Awards Watch List, the CFPA announced this week. Pruitt enters the 2014 season as the reigning CFPA Tight End Award winner.
Pruitt was a consensus first-team All-American after the 2013 season. He led the MVFC and ranked in the top-three nationally in receptions and receiving yards by a tight end despite missing two games with an injury, going on to earn the 2013 CFPA Tight End Award.
The initial watch list includes 36 returning performers, vying for the top tight end award in the Football Championship Subdivision. All players are eligible for awards at their respective positions. Players are not preemptively eliminated from consideration.
The goal of College Football Performance Awards is to provide the most scientifically rigorous conferments in college football. Recipients are selected exclusively based upon objective scientific rankings of the extent to which individual players increase the overall effectiveness of their teams. Twenty-eight CFPA winners have been first-round NFL Draft selections.
CFPA is now in its seventh season of recognition. Founded in 2008, the CFPA's player and team performance index spans offense, defense, and special teams.
Last season, Pruitt earned the CFPA Tight End Award, and in 2010, Saluki cornerback Korey Lindsey earned the CFPA Elite Defensive Back Award.
The full list of 2014 CFPA winners will be announced January 14, 2015.

What is the reality of the non-profit world right now?
I recently attended the United Way of North East Florida's Annual Report and Awards and Luncheon and could not help but sit in amazement at how many wonderful people there are in the world right now. Every top corporation in Florida had at least one table of their best employees at the event who proudly accepted award after award.
Each employee there represented the hundreds of people in those companies who give their time and money to Live United and stand against poverty, drop-out rates, graduation rates, bullying, abuse and any other problems plaguing today's society.
There is a huge network of people and corporations, who support and protect the missions of the multiple non-profit organizations that the United Way helps to fund, and they do it with major growth rates from one year to the next. This year alone, the community came together and raised a staggering $20.6 million! The money was all used for the Community Impact Fund, which supports core programs to improve education, income and health. Along with the money that was raised, over 12,000 volunteers contributed over 94,000 volunteer hours to the community through the 2013 United Way campaign.
With such growth, one must wonder, will the bubble burst and leave the future a dead end?
After unveiling their progress from the past year, The United Way of Northeast Florida introduced their new fearless leader, President and CEO, Michelle Braun. Her partner in success as the 2014 campaign chairman will be Mr. Pat Geraghty, the President and CEO of Florida Blue. Florida Blue led by example, with their 2013 company and employee contributions just under $2 million! After accepting the award for reaching such an honorable goal, they promised that next year their results would not be "just shy" of the $2 million mark.
With talented and driven fresh leadership and the momentum of reaching such success, this year promises to bring even more to the community- more volunteers, more compassion, more community awareness and more funding. Since the United Way funds most of the non-profits in northeast Florida, their success is truly success for every organization. The future for non-profits and community giving, promises growth, exponential growth.

Physics is for Physicists (and others)
Physics spotlights noteworthy papers in the APS journals Physical Review A-E and Physical Review Letters. Editors of those journals help select papers that report on a significant advance; Physics editor David Voss and assistant editor Jessica Thomas then commission an independent expert in the field to write a commentary on each selected paper.
The new journal "fills a niche that has been in need of filling for some time," says Voss.
The Physical Review journals publish high quality peer-reviewed research papers, but these are typically read only by specialists in a narrow area of physics. APS also publishes Physical Review Focus, an online publication that describes results in PRL and Physical Review for an audience of physicists, students, and others. Other publications explain developments in physics to other audiences, such as journalists and the general public. Physics will complement these. Articles in Physics are written by physicists, for physicists and aim to be understandable to a broad cross-section of physicists and scientists in related areas. Graduate students and advanced undergraduates should also be able to comprehend many Physics articles. "We're trying to enhance what APS does best," says Voss.
Physics publishes three types of articles. "Viewpoints," short pieces of about 1000-1500 words, focus on a specific paper in PRL or PR A-E., explaining and discussing the significance of the work. Initially about two such pieces will appear each week. These articles will be somewhat similar to "Perspectives" in Science, or "News and Views" in Nature.
Longer pieces, called "Trends," appearing approximately once a month, highlight areas of current research, reviewing recent results and identifying questions and directions for more research.
In addition, Physics publishes "Synopses," which are short (150-200 word) items written by APS journal editors explaining recent papers of particular interest.
As for the choice of title for the new journal, "The idea was to be bold about it," says Voss.
A preliminary version of the journal launched on July 14, 2008.

Cost of health benefits: $1.64 per hour in March 2005
June 17, 2005
The average employer cost for health benefits was $1.64 per hour worked in private industry in March 2005—6.8 percent of total compensation.
Five years earlier, in March 2000, employer costs for health benefits averaged $1.09, or 5.5 percent of total compensation.
Employer costs for health benefits varied by industry, occupation, bargaining status, region, and establishment size. For example, in goods-producing industries in March 2005, health benefit costs were higher, $2.28 per hour, than in service-providing industries, $1.48 per hour. Another example: Employer costs for health benefits were significantly higher for union workers, averaging $3.41 per hour, than for nonunion workers, averaging $1.42.
These data are from the BLS Compensation Cost Trends program. Additional information is available from "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation, March 2005" (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 05-1056.

Q: What are you working on right now?
A: I am putting the finishing touches to a novel tentatively titled 360, which will be out next summer. I'm very excited about this book, think it may be my best, and as much as I'd love to tell everyone what it's about, I'm not going to say a word.
Q: Describe where you tend to do your writing
A: I do all my writing in my home study, which is a something of a testament to boyish immaturity. In addition to hundreds of books, the shelves are lined with kitschy sci-fi models of Gerry Anderson creations - Supercar, Stingray, Fireball XL5 - as well as various Batmobiles and the Seaview [submarine] from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. The walls are adorned with framed bestseller lists, original art from Batman: The Animated Series, and gorgeous airbrushed renderings of 1950s automobiles, all painted by my late father, who was a commercial artist of some note. With all this to look at, who needs a window? But I do have a view of our front yard and our usually quiet residential street. Lots of squirrels, who could give a two-year-old lessons on how to cross the street safely.
Q: Tell us what you're reading right now
A: I just finished Packing for Mars by Mary Roach (published by Oneworld), and am just starting Gone by Lisa Gardner (published by Orion).
Q: What/who do you think is most exciting about crime writing at the moment?
A: At a time when publishing is going through something of a revolution, it's encouraging to see that good, solid crime thrillers remain as much in demand as ever, whatever format you choose. And there are so many talented writers out there, each tackling the form in their own way, that there's something for everyone.
Q: What are you looking forward to at this year's Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival?
A: My books have been received more warmly in the UK than anywhere else, but the festival offers me my first opportunity to express personally my thanks to people who've read them. I've heard a lot of great things about Harrogate, and look forward to meeting old and new friends there.
Linwood Barclay will be appearing at the Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival on Friday 22nd July at 8.30pm. He is the author of Never Look Away published by Orion.

Lead Poisoning Puts 28 Children in Hospital in China
by Thilaka Ravi on January 6, 2011 at 3:30 PM Child Health News - G J E 4
An unlicensed battery factory is blamed for sending twenty-eight children including some as young as nine months old, to hospital in eastern China due to lead poisoning, state media said Thursday.
Doctors first detected abnormally high lead levels in the blood of three children in the town of Gaohe in Anhui province last month, prompting authorities to carry out tests on 280 children, Xinhua news agency said.
AdvertisementMore than 200 were found to have excessive lead in their blood, and those hospitalised -- aged nine months to 16 years -- were suffering from "moderate to severe" lead poisoning, the report said, citing a hospital official.
Inspectors from the local environmental protection bureau found that Borui Battery Co. Ltd., which had been operating illegally, was the cause of the problem. They closed down the plant as well as another factory in the area.
Excessive levels of lead in the blood are considered hazardous, particularly to children, who can experience stunted growth and even mental retardation.
In October 2009, nearly 1,000 children tested positive for lead poisoning in the central province of Henan. Smelting plants in the area were found to be responsible.
Such incidents have exposed the dark side of the country's economic boom.
Rapid industrialisation over the last 30 years has left China, the world's second-largest economy, with some of the world's worst water and air pollution and has left widespread environmental damage.

Ubisoft vice president of creative Lionel Raynaud said that though the publisher will continue to create games for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 for the next few years, development for the next-gen consoles Xbox One and PS4 won't be hindered, according to a report today from VG 24/7.
In an interview with Edge Online, vice president of creative Lionel Raynaud said the publisher wouldn't be moving solely to the next-gen consoles anytime soon, indicating the company will launch games for the PS3 and Xbox 360 for a couples of years still.
"We will have games for PS3 and 360 for this year and probably the years after," Raynaud said. "We want to be able to provide games to people who are playing on these consoles."
Raynaud then pointed to Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, saying the game was the publisher's first on next-gen. Though it wasn't developed to best fit the Xbox One and PS4, the game did have features only available on those consoles.
"Black Flag was the first Assassin's Creed game of this new generation, but it was designed with that in mind," Raynaud said. "But I wouldn't say it was a cross-generation game, as it has features that could only be for this generation."
Raynaud stressed, however, that Ubisoft wouldn't diminish the quality of its games in order to meet a previous console generations lower standards.
"It's a choice," Raynaud said. "Even when you do a game that has old-gen and new-gen versions, we decide which one is lead. So if you decide that new gen is lead for all of your games, then you have no restrictions at all. You're just saying that the other generation will maybe not be able to have everything but still be a better game than we're used to having on this generation."
With recent or upcoming releases like Assassin's Creed and Watch Dogs, Raynaud said it would be a bad idea from a branding perspective to dumb down next-gen versions to create parity among all consoles.
In the same interview, Raynaud said that fans should expect an Assassin's Creed release annually, as not meeting that demand would be a "stupid" move for the publisher.

Another decrease in days away from work due to workplace injuries and illnesses
December 26, 2000
The incidence rate for cases of on-the-job injuries and illnesses involving days away from work dropped from 2.0 per 100 full-time workers in 1998 to 1.9 in 1999. This rate has fallen in nine consecutive years.
In 1990, the incidence rate of cases with days away from work was 3.4 cases per 100 workers; this rate has declined 44 percent in the past nine years. The 1999 incidence rate is the lowest on record.
Most cases of occupational injuries and illnesses in 1999 did not involve days away from work. Of the 5.7 million total injuries and illnesses reported in 1999, about 2.7 million were lost workday cases, that is, they required recuperation away from work or restricted duties at work, or both. The remaining 3 million were cases without lost workdays.
The BLS Safety and Health Statistics Program produced these data. The figures in this article pertain to injuries and illnesses in private industry workplaces. Find more information on occupational injuries and illnesses in 1999 in "Workplace Injuries and Illnesses in 1999", news release USDL 00-357.

cold rice noodles with peanut-lime chicken
print now | return to original post
Cold Rice Noodles with Peanut-Lime Chicken
Adapted from David Tanis, via The New York Times
To detail my changes, the original recipe had three sauces/dressings/marinades, a pungent-sweet sauces called a dipping sauce with chiles, lime, garlic, brown sugar and fish sauce, a nuttier dressing with peanut butter, soy, lime juice, rice vinegar and ginger and a marinade for the chicken with garlic, ginger, fish sauce, soy and brown sugar. Because there was so much ingredient overlap and in the interest of trimming down your prep time, I nixed the chicken marinade as a separate sauce in favor of using a combination of the other two (each increased in volume) for a similar effect. I confess that although they are widely available in the great Metropolis of NYC, I made this without the suggested lemongrass and mung bean sprouts because I wanted to see if this could be a totally delicious dish with just ingredients you can find at major grocery stores (it could!). For the chiles, 6 to 8 Thai or 1 to 2 serrano were suggested; I used far less to decrease toddler intimidation. Use what you like according to your heat preferance. We wouldn't have minded if there were more vegetables than recommended. Next time I might add more of each (cucumbers, carrots and scallions) plus juliennes of sweet red pepper and a handful of lightly cooked green beans, thinly cut on the bias. Finally, although the original recipe suggests three different herbs to finish — mint, basil and cilantro — unless you already have all three around, I think you can get away with just picking your favorite. We used mint fresh from the market that almost melted into the noodles with piercing deliciousness. To see the recipe before I hacked it to pieces, go to the NYT link above.
Serves 4 generously, 6 moderately
Dipping sauce
6 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
6 tablespoons brown sugar
12 tablespoons lime juice
2 garlic cloves, finely grated or minced
Small Thai or Serrano chiles, thinly sliced, to taste
Peanut dressing
3 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
9 tablespoons lime juice
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 one-and-a-half inch chunk ginger, peeled and sliced
6 tablespoons natural unsalted peanut butter
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
Pinch of cayenne
Chicken and noodle salad
1 1/4 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 6)
8 ounces dried rice vermicelli or other rice noodles
2 small cucumbers, cut in 1/4-inch half moons
2 medium carrots, cut in thin julienne
Additional vegetables, as suggested above
Small handful basil or mint or cilantro sprigs, or your favorite of the three (torn or roughly chopped)
4 or more scallions, slivered
1/4 cup crushed or chopped roasted peanuts
Lime wedges (to serve)
Make the dipping sauce: Whisk ingredients in a small serving bowl, making sure to dissolve the sugar. Leave to ripen for 15 minutes. Refrigerate any extra and use within a few days.
Make the peanut dressing: In a blender or small food processor, puree all ingredients to a smooth sauce, about the thickness of heavy cream. Pour into a serving bowl.
Marinate the chicken: Stir together 1/2 the dipping sauce and 1/3 the peanut dressing (you can eyeball this) in the bottom of a low-sided bowl or dish. Add the chicken to the mixture and toss to coat. Let marinate at least 15 minutes.
Cook the noodles: Bring a large pot of water to the boil, then turn off the heat. Add the rice vermicelli and soak for 7 to 8 minutes. (Package directions may vary; check for doneness by tasting.) Drain when noodles are al dente, and cool under running water. Fluff and leave in strainer to drain well.
Cook the chicken: Grill the chicken on an outdoor grill, a stove-top grill pan, or run under the broiler until nicely browned, about 3 to 4 minutes a side. Let cool slightly, then chop roughly into 3/4-inch pieces.
To serve: At this point, you can place everything on a large serving platter, with piles or small bowls for noodles, vegetables, chicken, the dressing and marinade and toppings (peanuts, herbs) and let your family and friends put it together in their own bowls as they wish. Or, you can assemble it for everyone as suggested:
Toss vegetables with 1 tablespoon dipping sauce in a small bowl. Divide the cooked noodles among 4 to 6 bowls. Top each bowl equally with vegetable mixture and chopped chicken. Toss each bowl with 2 teaspoons of each the dipping sauce and dressing, or more to taste (we wanted more). Add the herbs, peanuts and scallions to each bowl and serve with additional dressing and dipping sauce on the side.

On the 20-minute walk to the beach, we ran into this three-toed sloth near the pathway. He was probably about five feet from us. Very cool!

Manuel Antonio Pacific Coast 1
It's not hard to find scenes like these at the private Manuel Antonio National Park beach or along the Pacific coast on the drive to/from the park.

Manuel Antonio - Monkey
One of these little rascals stole a can of Pringles from a backpack, scurried up a branch and began to open it up in front of dozens of stunned people, only to let it slip out of its paws (hands?) and drop to the sand....

Costa Rica - Crocodiles
This was taken just a short walking distance away from our stop for breakfast on the way to Manuel Antonio National Park. It's taken from a bridge over a river bed with literally dozens of crocodiles to be viewed.

Costa Rica - Iguana
This was taken just a short walking distance away from our stop for breakfast on the way to Manuel Antonio National Park. There were about a half dozen of these 2-3 feet long creatures sunning themselves.

Stumplings are creations available in the spring only – small stumps of wood with pussy willows. An interesting way to show our pussy willows in a compact imaginative manner.
Stumpettes are larger fancier version of the simple Stumplings. The base is of wood that has a lathed and polished top.
When you tire of the pussy willows or don't feel like dusting them, add your own decorations ( flowers, foliage, or both).
We will have a booth at the Calgary Hort Show

It's rare for anyone to give us a good reason not to finish a bottle of wine, but this Alia Bottle Stopper ($12) is so damn pretty, we'd hate for it to sit in a drawer. We suppose we'll just have to drink half a bottle a night for a little while. Moderation is good, right?
