I have three JPanels painted onto a JFrame. These are currently all set to use the default FlowLayout. I would like for these to be one above the other in a single column.
However, I am finding that these are floating next to each other on the same line, so long as the components within them.
Is the natural width of a FlowLayout JPanel the sum of its contents? If so, is there any way to force the width of the region to be the width of the JFrame?
Interestingly, I am finding that, if the "top" and "bottom" panels have content which spans the entire width of the JFrame, and the "middle" panel is left empty, that the "middle" panel creates a space between the two, much like the old "
of html.

1. Sadler had dehydrated Foreman for a couple of days before the fight. He told him it would "toughen him".
Immediately prior to the ring walk, Sadler had given Foreman water that tasted like it had medicine in it. Foreman had remarked on the odd taste to Sadler
2. Foreman said that after three rounds he felt like he had gone fifteen rounds.
3. During the fight, Sadler kept instructing Foreman to keep up the attack.
This was out of character with Sadler. He had always told Foreman to take his time and not hurry things.
4. Herbert Muhammad, Ali's manager, told Foreman that if he re-signed with Sadler, he'd get a rematch. Foreman said he refused.
5. Foreman said Sadler worked Ali's corner in the third Norton fight.
My feelings on this are mixed. I don't know whether to believe it or not.
We have a mix of Ali (who was not above benefiting from a fixed fight), Don King, a corrupt sport and a championship fight in a corrupt nation.
I'll file it away as likely but not proven.
Even n entire ****nal of smoking guns would not get d recognition that this fight was rigged . i think it's better 2 let d Ss here 2 keep enlightening each other . who knows ? this board might b filled with some referees and judges in some of Ali's fights , his attorney , family members and a few closet *******uals whom he was a male model 2 .
And of course a few lowly paid journalists whom need something 2 write about . Don't try taking away from their future incomes , more books r on d way !
Every rigged fight in Ali's career is just a myth , he was d gr8est !

36 reviews | 3.1 out of 5
At first I was very happy with the overall fit, but with the arm protectors attached to the the lower front, it doesn't stay in place. After anyone or dog sits on it, it either comes forward or has to be adjusted afterwards. I took off the arm protectors and now it works perfectly. You have to use a seam ripper for this and then stitch up the sides which takes time, but it was worth it. The arm protectors work well, independently of the rest of the product.
This thing does not do the job because as other reviewers have stated it does not stay put. The design is there but is just not executed properly. It needs longer flaps to tuck into the crevices of the loveseat and longer arm pieces. Practically drove me crazy trying to keep the thing over the arms every time I sat down on it. And then, of course, had to tuck back in to make it look decent once I got up from it or else it made my loveseat look like a total mess. I must say the material is quite nice and of course the idea is great but needs to be reworked. I don't have pets so did not buy for that reason, just wanted to save my furniture from everyday wear and tear. I think I will just purchase a couple of new towels to cover the seat of my loveseat and use my throw to cover the arm of it where I sit most of the time. This will be a much neater look. Returning this item.
I love the product. Easy design to drape over furniture and does stay put for the most part. The ony issue I had is that the hair gets wound into the naterial and does not wash off!
The product wasnt as durable that i thought it would be after first wash it came apart. would not recommend this product to a friend
these are nice covers that protect the furniture. but as with most any cover, you must always straighten it out as they move easy
We bought this a little while ago because until now, we used the $2 fleece blankets to cover the cushions of the couch and it looked tacky. The cover looks beautiful, but I have to adjust it everytime anyone sits on it. Our couch is pushed against the wall, so it clamps down on the top cover, keeping it in place, but the arms are always flopping about, and the dogs end up sitting on bare arms. (the biggest dog on our couch is 15lbs, so I wouldn't imagine his weight could shift something that much). The slip that tucks between the seats and back is also much too small, as it always comes out as well, wrinkling the cover horribly and moving it into odd orientations. Overall, it's pretty to look at, but if you plan to SIT on said couch, don't buy it. It's more trouble than you think you're saving yourself.
I bought this to cover a living room sofa with a slick floral patterned upholstery on it. I had covered it before with a bedspread and it keeps sliding. I looked for a cheaper option than a sofa cover and went to this item. It slides completely off the sofa worse than the bedspread. It is a total failure for what I wanted. It is probably fine on something with texture like suede or corduroy. Otherwise do not waste your money!!!
Does not stay in place, constantly fixing it as top keeps falling down on to the loveseat when you sit down. Nice material, nice to look at and to keep your loveseat clean and will keep the animal fur from getting on your furniture but you spend most of your time fixing it.
Great idea, matches color scheme. Wish it would attach to the lovesealt somehow instead of just tucking in couch. Always having to straighten it.
Easy placement on couch and simply wash when needed.
Much impressed with the quality of the cover. My only concern is the ability to keep the cover tucked in around the corners and armrest. My dog likes to arrange his sleeping area and he claws the coverlet out of the folds. For the money, a great buy and it washes nicely.
Overall good product but not crazy with the suede material
Washes up nicely. The dog likes it a lot!
I like it. It's nice and soft.
The item does not stay in place; this is suppose to protect my furniture from my dog; hoewever, it is constantly falling off. It has no way to secure it other than tucking it in behind the seat cushions. It is structured to protect the seat, arm rests and the back; however, the material does not stay in place on the arm rests or the back. I could have utilize blankets if it was only going to protect the seat. Might work for disabled pets or very old pets.
I found this item to be a perfect fit for my loveseat. I just wish that when Walmart shipped their items that it didn't take so long to get here. I have shipped items from overseas back to the United States that took less time than Walmart's shipping does.
I really like it, gives an older couch a new look.
These covers are better than using blankets but they are a little small for my couches and the backs don't stay up. Since I really just wanted them for the couch seats I just wrapped them around the seats and didn't cover the back. They stay in place better this way. I like the construction and the material because the fur doesn't show or stick to the covers so they meet my needs.
If having the material wrinkled and not in place will bother you these covers aren't for you.
My two love seats turned out to be a little bit longer than what I needed, I could benefit from the arm parts being longer but overall it really is great because slip covers are So expensive and this is accomplishing the same thing. Easy to take off and wash. I find myself readjusting them regularly because sitting on the couch moves them but that's just normal.
I do like my product it fits perfectly but slips a lot that's the only thing I don't like about it

It's not everyday that a brother and sister share the same passion. But in the case of Jeff and Tammy, they both thrive on competitive bodybuilding. It must be in the genes!
Bodybuilding Lessons
A Bond Between Brother and Sister
By: Tammy Storch
By: Tammy Storch
It's not everyday that a brother and sister share the same passion. But in the case of Jeff and Tammy, they both thrive on competitive bodybuilding. It must be in the genes!
I recall sitting across from my brother backstage at the NPC Ohio Bodybuilding Championships this past June of 2000 with a sense of calm. It wasn't always like this, usually I was the one backstage, nervous, pacing wondering who was going to take home that overall, or first place trophy'thinking.. it won't be me. Meanwhile, my brother Jeff was charged up. He had come to the Ohio in the best shape of his life and after the prejudging he knew he was in for a fight.
In this article Jeff and I will detail our preparation for the 2000 NPC Ohio. Although we had both competed before, Jeff for fourteen years while this was only my 2nd, this was our first show together. Bodybuilding is like nothing you've ever done before. It's difficult to explain the pre contest experience to people who haven't competed, but Jeff and I will do our best for those of you who are interested in competing, or just curious about the process.
I'd always admired my brother's dedication to bodybuilding. But until the last couple of years I concentrated on running as my major form of exercise. I thought that running would keep me in good shape and paid little attention to my nutrition or weight training.
Actually running as my main source of exercise left me skinny–fat ...
In other words I looked fine in clothes. Period!
Once I began training I realized what I had been missing. I knew I wanted to compete. It would take proper training, good nutrition and time (in my case three years) to build the kind of muscle I'd need. I knew my brother Jeff and many other friends and acquaintances had worked with Roger and Sandy. Over the years I had watched Jeff improve tremendously while on his Beverly International nutrition program.
I worked with Roger and Sandy in 1999, but not 100%. I cheated a little on my diet; left out a recommended supplement here and there. I thought I'd be okay on my own. Well, I did okay, just okay. I knew in my heart I could do much better. I should have listened to Jeff.
My brother, Jeff on the other hand – once he starts his diet – that's it – no more cheating! I'll let Jeff take it from here:
Jeff Storch at the 2000 NPC Ohio; 3.4% at 204 lbs
First off I've learned that even in the off-season you have to pay attention to your diet. The first time I went to Roger and Sandy at Beverly International for help with my diet was 1995. I was at 16% bodyfat. Before working with Beverly International I'd let my weight get up to 240 or 250 in the off-season and then diet down for 24 – 26 weeks to the mid 180's for competition.
This year I followed that rule very closely. I started my diet at 16 weeks out at 5.7% at 226. This was the lowest pre-diet body fat reading I have ever had. For the 1999 contest season I started at 8.5% or so and thought that was good. This year I started 3% lower! What made the difference? The only thing I did different this year form last year was I only used Beverly products. In past off-seasons I'd try different brands of protein powders and meal replacements just to save a little bit of money. I knew that there was a quality difference but didn't realize that using substitutions rather than just Beverly International could make a 3% difference in my body composition!
This year I used only Muscle Provider, Mass Maker, and Ultra Size. It was well worth the slight cost increase! Remember a deal is not always a deal; you pay one-way or another in the end
Quality is the best value! Use Beverly International supplements if you want to be your best – not just for the contest season, but in the off-season as well.
For the year 2000, I started early with Roger and Sandy, determined to be my best. I thought I had done pretty well in the off-season. I sort of watched what I ate and trained consistently. I tried to put on some muscle mass but my body let me down. It went right back to where it was the year before. Coming into the competition season it was right around 25%. I learned what my brother Jeff learned a couple of years earlier.
If you don't pay close attention to your nutrition and supplement program in the off-season, your body will go right back to the level of bodyfat that it had been in the past. Roger and Sandy helped Jeff and I to understand what it takes to compete successfully. This year I was serious about winning, and learned my lessons well. If you are interested in bodybuilding please give them a call today. They can help you achieve your goals!
Regardless of my off-season condition I was determined to do things right this time. My main goal was to compete in the Ohio Bodybuilding Championships with my brother. I felt the opportunity to compete with Jeff would be something special, and I didn't want to let him down by coming into the show in poor form!
So I started my diet in January, Jeff didn't have to start his until nearly two months later.
Now, Jeff is going to tell you about his:
And another thing! I have an extremely tough schedule as a personal trainer – sometimes back-to-back clients for six hours or more. Plus I was in the formative stages of opening my new fitness center, Bodyworx Fitness Company. So, I told Roger I did not have time to eat more than five meals daily and at least two, often three would need to be drink mixes. I could actually sip these drinks while I trained my clients. I hate to think how much lean mass I would have lost if I relied on the typical 250 – 300 calorie meal replacement packets that most of my competitors use when rushed for time.
dietand personalized MRP that Roger formulated for the 1st eight weeks of my diet.
I could just scoop out the powder into plastic baggies or right into a shaker in the morning. Then whenever it was time for a meal I'd add water and boom – an awesome meal replacement with exactly 20% of the calories that I needed for the day.
I almost always used the personalized meal replacement drink and Option A with oatmeal for my carb – it was the easiest and most convenient method for me.
My other supplements at this time were 6-Ultra 40 liver tablets per meal, a Super Pak with my post training meal for the antioxidant and muscle repair factors, and Ultra C in the morning and before training
Your precontest diet is directly related to your off-season conditioning. The better you are in the off-season the easier your precontest diet will beTammy here:
At one point, since my legs have some stubborn fat on them, she suggested that I resume my first love running . But this time with a new twist. In addition to my normal 45 minutes of cardio 3-4 times weekly, I did sprints around a mile track (once around sprinting, way around walking 3 – 4 times). The sprinting really helps to tighten up the legs (something us girls have to work harder on!)
Besides her help with my diet, cardio and posing, she even helped me choose the right competition tanning products, and my posing suit!
Jeff, on the other hand did not add any cardio until the last few weeks as he approached his lowest body fat percentage of all time. For Jeff mountain biking was his preferred activity interspersing sprints with longer rides.
Use cardio to break a sticking point or if you did not pay enough attention to your off-season diet. Interval training works better for holding muscle and losing fat from hard to reach places than traditional cardio methods
Jeff and I continued to contact Beverly International over the next several weeks to monitor our condition and to see whether we needed a diet change or not. Since my calories were already pretty low Sandy would just gradually cycle my supplements to achieve higher and higher degrees of fat burning. I was especially amazed at the drop in bodyfat and added degree of hardness I achieved when she added GH Factor, Muscle Mass and Energy Reserve to my pre workout supplement program.
Here is the complete supplement program I used:
Jeff eventually had to lower calories from 4200 all the way down to 3300 – poor brother! I'll let him tell you of his suffering:
The change was not huge, like 900 calories I believe. I prefer high fat diets to carbs anyway so cutting the carbs was not a big loss for me. We dumped the oatmeal and Mass Maker switched the chicken to beef. Cool! This is the kind of diet I like!
I stayed on this down to 3.7% I think. That was at 3 weeks out. Now Roger got a little nasty with me! (So lets get it on I say!!! Hit me!) Check this out 10 oz. Beef, and a grape fruit and 1 cup of vegetables 3 times a day, and 2 drinks, 2 scoops Muscle Provider, 2 scoops Ultra Size mixed in water. Oh yeah! And 6 egg whites at night. Roger loves creating my diets. One food meal to design
eat it 3 times, one meal replacement drink
drink two of them, hand me the paper and out the door I go!
I did quite a bit of other Beverly supplements this time as well Super Paks (always), Ultra 40, Mass, Ultra-C, (always) Muscle Mass, Lean out, L-Glutamine, Creatine Monohydrate, ZMA, Joint Care and Energy Reserve. All added and taken away as needed.
Lesson #6: Supplements are exactly that – supplements! They add to your nutrition and give you the winning edge. Remember you are trying to increase the quality of your nutrition to its highest level you're not trying to make it more average by using average supplements. Use only the best. Tammy and I use Beverly International exclusively. Best of all - you will not be put on supplements you do not need at Beverly!
Well I got down to 3.4%. It was my lowest reading ever by .14 % I know it does not sound like a lot but at this level anything is a big drop!
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times!
Finally we come down to the show itself. Jeff and I were both in the best condition of our lives. Early in the evening I won my class in both the Ohio Valley Novice and the open Ohio. I also was awarded the overall title in the Ohio Valley Novice. Jeff was awesome. He won the open heavyweight title and then prepared to do battle for the overall. It turned out to be a two-man contest between Jeff and the Super heavyweight winner. The more they posed the better Jeff's condition stood out. As the judges′ votes were tallied it turned out that Jeff lost the over all title by just one point!!!
Even though we both couldn't leave as overall champions this show was very special for me. It's not often that you get to compete in the same show with your sister and each take home a 1st place trophy. It must be the genetics!!! (plus a lot of hard work, discipline and Beverly International.)

NYC Mayoral Candidate Uses Wrong Skyline On His Homepage
Some photos on Twitter ended Anthony Weiner's congressional career. The latest online image was not quite as damaging. Weiner has launched his campaign to be mayor of New York City. A gorgeous city skyline showed up on his homepage. But it wasn't of New York. It was Pittsburgh's skyline.
Good morning. I'm David Greene. Some photos on Twitter ended Anthony Weiner's congressional career. The latest online image, not quite as damaging. Weiner launched his campaign yesterday to be mayor of New York City, and a gorgeous city skyline showed up on his homepage: the skyline of Pittsburgh, my home town. I'm honored if the Web designer is impressed with our city's skyline.
Still, it's pretty embarrassing for a New York mayoral candidate, although I guess Weiner has been through worse. It's MORNING EDITION.

Thumbs up in my house!
Wow! These were so simple yet so decadent tasting! I topped each one with a tiny scoop of maple ice cream. I will definitely be making this many times over. (Only I will be skipping the ice cream...in order to make it healthier) Made and reviewed for the Best of 2009 Tag Game. Thanks MarraMamba for posting bluemoon downunder's recipe in your game book.
These were fantastic, i will eat them instead of less healthy brownies from now on :)
I used regular bananas...not sure what a "sugar banana" is. I used semisweet baking chocolate because that was what I had on hand, shredded it up so it would melt. I used almonds, also because I had those and macadamias are sooo expensive here. The cooking temp was questionable, because it was posted as 180 and 730 degrees C. Recipezaar was unable to convert this, as was I! So I cooked at 350 degrees based on Jessica K's review for 10 minutes....not long enough, my chocolate wasn't melted. So I cooked for another 5 minutes. The chocolate never melted, but the bananas were hot! So I served with ice cream on top after reading HokiesLady's review! Made for Zaar Stars Tag.
I'm raving about this dish! My DS and I enjoyed this so much!! The bananas were perfectly baked with the chocolate and nuts in 8 minutes! I even was able to use some really ripe bananas for this recipe. My DS said - wouldn't this be great with a scoop of icecream too - so I think next time we are going to try that for fun! I did make a change and used chopped almonds in place of the macadamia nuts (too expensive here right now) and they tasted great! Thanks blue for a great keeper!! Made for the Gimme 5 Tag Game. :)
ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! So easy to make this great tasting & unique dish! What a way to get a great chocolate fix anytime of day of night! Am definitely passing this recipe on to a handful of friends who will love it! Thanks for sharing a keeper! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Gimme 5]
We thought these were good, they were very simple. I think I may try them again with some walnuts, I only had milk chocolate on hand, I diff would like to try them with the dark chocolate. Thanks for posting.
Easy & delicious! I'm used to make Banana Boats when I go camping, but I hadn't thought of making something similar at home and using the macadamia nuts is a great touch! I just stuck some dark chocolate Hershey kisses in each and that worked perfectly. Thanks for sharing!
I knew when I saw this I had to make it the same day, as it is so similar to one of the components of my Baked Peanut Butter Banana Split (Light), and I had everything in the house. And it does not disappoint! The flavors go deliciously and richly together - what a combo. YUM!
This was soo good and so easy! I baked at 350 for 10 min and the chocolate was perfectly melted! I used just reg bananas, they don't have the sugar ones here. I also sprinkled some butter schnapps on it before baking. Thanks for a good and easy dessert!

The Yankees love to keep paying guys who go well beyond their usefulness. Let them have Dempster.Hide replies
Dempster would be good for one or two years max.
Absolutely right. Three years would be a disaster waiting to happen. Very pitchers are effective at that age.
We don't want another Wolf or Suupan so why are we looking at a 35 year old pitcher? For the first time in recent memory we have 4 arms in the top 100 prospects. I'm willing to go through some growing pains in order to have some upside. Rogers, Peralta, Thornberg and Fiers have all shown potential. They along with YOGA, Narveson and Estrada form the basis of a pretty good rotation.
I'm tierd of watching old over the hill pitchers blow up!!!!!Hide replies
dempster is not a very good idea. he could have one good year then go downhill like the other pitching flops they signed.
Dempster could have one good year left in him.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. (Suppan was the first). If he's insisting on three years, let him walk. We can do better (and get one cheaper) than a slightly better than average 35 year old.Hide replies
Agreed we should stay away from Dempster. He will be a bust after the first year.
Two years with a vesting clause for the third might be doable. He may be 35, but he was still very good in the NL last year. As much as I like the young pitchers, you have to have some insurance in case any or all of them take a step back. This team is primed offensively, they don't have a two or three years to wait for the pitching to mature.Hide replies
A third year vesting clause is out of the question. You only do that when you are afraid the player will get better and seek a bigger free agent deal.
I have no problem with giving Dempster two years but it needs to stop after that. The most I'd be willing to go would be 2 years with a club option that we would never pick up.
I'd much rather see us go after Haren/McCarthy/Marcum at this point in FA though. Try to avoid any long term deals if possible.Hide replies
The 2nd year would even be a gamble.
Excellent news. Anything that keeps the Brewers from overpaying for him is a good thing. There are other ways to bring in a solid #2 player than to overpay for an over-the-hill non-ace in free agency. It frustrates me that the Brewers seem intent on this avenue.Hide replies
The Brewers have a ton of young pitchers that could be blocked if they sign new pitchers.
What 4 arms will the Brewers have in the top 100? Peralta and Thornburg will be in there, but Jungmann and Bradley are going to fall out after poor debuts. Hellweg might have an outside shot, but that's about it.
Troll Fighter
It was reported he turned down a 2 year $26 M deal from the Royals a few weeks ago. I dost feel comfortable giving a pitcher $13-15 M for his age 36-38 seasons.Hide replies
It wouldn't shock me if Thornburg doesn't stick in the top 100 either. I think most scouts don't view him as more than a back end starter, and much more likely to be a set up man in the big leagues. I think at this point Jimmy Nelson is considered a better prospect than Thornburg, just because he looks to be more likely to stick as a starter, but he probably isn't a top 100 guy either.
You're overrating Nelson. He was taken in the same draft class as Thornburg and hasn't even reached AAA yet. He's been old for each level and still struggled with badly a 7.2 BB/9 in AA.
*struggled badly with*
Thornburg is actually just under a year older than Nelson, so if you are using age against one, you have to use it against both since Thornburg has been a half step in front of Nelson their entire development cycle and put up similar numbers at each level, save AA. And I know Nelson had issues with his shoulder, which affected his control. I personally don't feel either will be a top 100 guy, but who knows. I still think Thornburg should be moved to the bullpen as a late inning guy if his arm can bounce back quickly enough, since he has struggled once he gets to the third time through the order.
Hey Troll, Nelson did not even start playing until he was 21 years old. To say he is behind is not telling the whole story.
At this point I think Sean Marcum may be the best option, plus the best bargain, out there. It's a roll of the dice for sure but as the Wolf and Suppan stories teach us, anyone is. Plus Marcum is four or five years younger than Dempster. I think they should really look into this.
Warboss, great post on the Brewer pitching options. I agree, they have plenty of talent. If they can just get one more good hard thrower for the pen - Eddie's idea is Madson who would be worth it, I'd say - plus that second starter, then we should be set for 2013.Hide replies
Alas, Madsen signed with the Angels. The rat. Nobody listens to me; I know what's better for them than they do themselves.
only because you got his name wrong in every one of the 283 posts in which you implored the Brewers to sign him.
My bad.
ehhhh...was just funnin' ya anyway.
i thought he would have made a good signing as well....
Shaun Marcum might be a good idea on a one year contract. He could try to increase his market value by pitching injury free for a year.
Don't do it Doug!Hide replies
i agree. bad move.
Melvin will not commit three years to an old man Dempster.

text: Introduction Greetings to all the RMT posters of Smogon! This is my Second UU team but the first one that was meant to be UU from its inception. I decided recently that I was going to drop down from OU to UU, mainly for excitement reasons. I just find that the OU tier is to bland and overdone for me, so I moved down to UU so I could get that rush of battle once more that made me take up Pokemon battling in the first place. So this is the team I have decided will mark my breaking in the UU tier officially. It was built around the concept of using Flygon and its nearly perfect dual stab coverage. Team Building Process Hide (Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content) Show Hide Hide Hide So this is where my team started. I was looking at Garchomp (This was before he was moved back down to OU) and could see why his combination dragon and ground type stabs being about to stop everything other then levitating or air balloon Steel types. Next I looked back at my experience in UU battling and remembered a particularly annoying set for Empoleon that my good friend Thedarklord2155 used against me. It has good synergy with Flygon so I added it onto the team. Next the good old Spiker staple Froslass was added so I could get spikes to go along with my Rocks on Empoleon. Looking at my team I could tell I needed a good physical wall to use and looking at the UU tier I though that Creselia would be a great addition due to its HUGE bulk. So on it goes! Next I noticed my team was without a set up sweeper and I though about my old favorite Scrafty, Littleblue. Adding it to the team I found it had great synergy with Creselia as well. I would imagine most people reading this just sat back at there computers and said, what the heck is going on here? But just hear me out on this one. Read down to Eelektross's description and you might get it. For now just accept that this is part of my team. And my usual lead. After some testing and realizing that Eelektross was really more for kicks then anything I swapped to Tornadus and turned Scrafty into a bulk up shed skin set. TEAM BACKLASH Tornadus (Ike) Trait: Prankster Item: Leftovers (Thinking about Life Orb) - HP(Fighting) - U-Turn - Air Slash - Taunt Nature: Timid (+Speed/-Attack) Ev's: 160HP/96SAttack/252Speed By popular suggestion and some major testing I decided to sub out Eelektross for Tornadus. And It has been working wonderfully. HP(Fighting) was chosen because it allows me to take out Bisharp who want to boost off of Cresselia otherwise. U-Turn allows me to use this as a great lead and a way to get out of a bad situation if necessary. Air Slash was chosen over Hurricane because of Hurricane's unfortunate Accuracy outside of rain. Taunt keeps me from being statused and gets a +1 priority thanks to Prankster. The Ev spread is so I have enough bulk to survive some hits while still being able to dish them out. This pokemon fits my team so well. Flygon (Elzo) Trait: Levitate Item: Choice Scarf - Fire Punch - U-Turn - Outrage - Earthquake Nature: Jolly (+Speed/-SAttack) Ev's: 4HP/252Attack/252Speed The standard Scarf Flygon set. Fire Punch takes down steel types that aren't hit by Earthquake (That one floating bell that we all know and love), Earthquake and Outrage are a great Dual Stab combo and hit everything for great damage. U-Turn is to keep the momentum going for my team and give me two U-Turn users with great coverage between each other letting me take down slower teams with ease. Nothing much else to say here, this is really really standard. Empoleon (Soren) Trait: Torrent Item: Leftovers - Scald - Stealth Rock - Roar - Ice Beam Nature: Calm (+SDef/-Attack) Ev's: 252HP/76Def/180SDef This is a set taken from my good friend TheDarkLord2155 (Klaus) and his UU team. Its main goal is to just to set up rocks after Frostlass has already put down multiple layers of spikes and then Roar all the things. Specially defensive Ev spread lets me be both the Special wall of my team and swap into a medley attacks and most importantly be able to survive a thunderbolt from Zapdos and hit it hard with Ice Beam or roar it out if its a sub set. Scald is a fun stab to throw around and try and burn people with and Empoleon's special attack is nothing to scoff at so the damage is worthwhile as well. I am thinking about taking out Ice Beam for something else but can't decide what it would be. Maybe HP(Fire). Froslass (Remedi) Trait: Cursed Body Item: Focus Sash - Spikes - Thunder Wave - Ice Shard - Taunt Nature: Jolly (+Speed/-SAttack) Ev's: 4HP/252Attack/252Speed OK now this set is my spin on the classic Focus Sash Froslass. Spikes and Sash let me get down two sets of spikes bar scarf users and priority (If anyone ever runs Bullet Punch that is). You come in and set down spikes and have a good time before you die. Taunt is useful so I am not total setup bait for pokemon that don't care about Thunder Wave and lets me troll other Hazard Setters. Now this is the part where I part ways with the typical Froslass. Ice Shard is a strange move to put onto a pokemon such as this but I found that I was having huge trouble with opposing Flygon being able to beat me when they were Scarfed. But with the given Ev investment and the priority of Ice Shard you are guaranteed to OHKO Flygon unless it is 252HP/252Def (Which never happens). Thunder Wave is on this set because I find that often that one Fast Paralysis being put on my opponents team can change a failure to a success. This is especially useful against Heracross if I'm at full health. Cresselia (Ashera) Trait: Levitate Item: Leftovers - Thunder Wave - Ice Beam - Psychic - Moonlight Nature: Bold (+Def/-Attack) Ev's: 252HP/252Def/4SAttack This set is kinda a strange one to see on a Cresselia. Leftovers for obvious reasons. Ice Beam is so that I am not totally trolled by Gligar and it lets me take out pokemon like Honchcrow who would normally just boost off of me and sweep. Thunder Wave lets me stop a huge number of sweepers in their tracks and make them almost useless for the rest of the battle. Moonlight is my recovery of choice when Leftovers just doesn't do it. I am thinking about taking out Leftovers for either a Colbur Berry or a Tanga Berry to stop Honchkrow and Heracross respectively. Or possibly a Lum Berry so that I can take a Toxic without it crippling me. Scrafty (BigRed) Trait: Shed Skin Item: Leftovers - Ice Punch - Crunch - Bulk Up - Drain Punch Nature: Impish (+Def/-SAttack) Ev's: 252HP/180Def/76SDef A variant on my original Scrafty set. It has the same Ev's and Nature but almost everything else is changed. I am now running Bulk Up and Ice Punch over Substitute and Dragon Dance. Bulk Up gives me even more.... well... bulk! I suppose its self explanatory. Ice Punch was chosen over Substitute so Flying types wouldn't destroy me and tank my other moves without skipping a beat. Drain Punch and Crunch are great stab moves and allow me to take out a variety of threats with their Coverage. Shed Skin allows me to laugh at people who try and status me and it also makes Toxic Spikes entirely Useless against my team. Prior Members Hide (Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content) Show Hide Hide Hide Eelektross (Ilayna) Trait: Levitate Item: Flying Gem - Wild Charge - U-Turn - Acrobatics - Superpower Nature: Impish (+def,-SAttack) Ev's: 252HP/144Attack/80Def/32SDef OK I get it. This thing is really really really weird. But the reasons for why I use it aren't nearly as eccentric as its design. I use this as my counter to Heracross who used to just run rampant all over my team, the spread letting her tank a CloseCombat, Megahorn, or Stone Edge without going down and countering with Flying Gem Acrobatics for a KO no matter what. Its other moves are for coverage purposes and for making it a great lead. I usually lead with Ilayna (Eelektross) for a number of reasons, U-turn to get it out, its ability to take huge chunks out anything that tries to stay in on it. But there is one reason that trumps all of these combined. It throws the opponent off guard and leaves them guessing. If I lead with Flygon and U-turn out most people in UU just look at that and have a good way to respond. But when I throw out a Eelektross it makes them guess about what I'm going to do. Even if they take the time to look up Eelektross its huge move pool keeps it from being predictable. Another thing that makes this hard to counter is its lack of Weaknesses (Being one of only 3 fully evolved Pokemon to be able to claim the title of having no weaknesses), this prevents an opponent from simply hitting the super-effective move and killing me. Great things these Pokemon do for the Team 1. Hazard Ignorance: Two Levitate Pokemon, One flying type, a Toxic Spikes immunity, Shed Skin keeping Toxic Spikes from really hurting Scrafty, and three Stealth Rock resistances. These combine to mean that Toxic Spikes can be down and still not mean anything being able to only really touch Scrafty who just Shed Skins it off and Froslass who was never meant to survive for long anyways. Spikes only manage to hurt Scrafty, Empoleon, and Froslass. Scrafty often times uses Leftovers and Drain Punch to make this residual damage mean very little to him. Empoleon is hindered by the spikes damage but leftovers help with this. Froslass is as said before not a survivor anyways!!!! So that doesn't really matter. Stealth Rocks give me some trouble because Tornadus has a weakness to them and it keeps him from being able to U-Turn around effectively, but no team is perfect I suppose. But packing three resistances to Stealth Rocks (Scrafty, Empoleon, and Flygon) means I can swap into Stealth Rock most of the time without fear. These combine to mean that any one hazard only threatens a portion of my team and even when combined I don't take huge amounts of damage from my swaps. This also reduces the need for a rapid spinner. 2. Status Absorption: Between Flygon, Scrafty, and Empoleon I have a great status absorbing core to work with. Empoleon being able to tank Burns and being immune to Toxic, and Flygon being able to swap into a suspected Thunder Wave and cause damage. Scrafty is great because shed skin makes it basically immune to status. Letting me set up on things that try and poison me with impunity. Major Threat List Honchkrow Honchkrow is extremely dangerous for my team if it can get one or more boosts under its belt. The biggest reason why it is a huge threat as opposed to other sweepers is that is packs a dark type stab that destroys Cresselia who normally tanks all boosted sweeper hits and counters with Thunder Wave to cripple them. Zapdos OK this this just runs all over my team. Attacking sets can be stopped by Froslass's Ice Beam but the fact that I rely on my suicide pokemon to take it out is not a good thing at all. Bulky sets can be taken down by clever swapping but there is really no hard counter for it on my team. I am still working on how to take this one out. Sableye This is everyone's favorite thorn in their side! When Tornadus is still alive it can prankster Taunt it and shut it down but without that it stops the rest of my team dead in their tracks. I can take it down with one of my powerful attackers but they always get crippled in the process.

Kindergarten Readiness Assessment
According to the Build Initiative, a kindergarten entry assessment process is an organized way to learn what children entering kindergarten know and are able to do, including their disposition toward learning. In Ohio, starting with the 2014-15 school year, a new Kindergarten Readiness Assessment (KRA) replaced the previously used KRA-L (Kindergarten Readiness Assessment - Literacy).
The Race to the Top Early Learning Challenge includes a requirement that participating states develop a kindergarten entry assessment. Ohio partnered with Maryland to develop a comprehensive assessment that includes more domains of school readiness: social foundations; physical well-being and motor development; language and literacy; mathematics; science; social studies; and the arts. The arts aspect will be voluntary in Ohio; since this area is not covered in Ohio's new Early Learning and Development Standards.
All kindergarten children take the KRA during the first weeks of the school year. Students do not experience the KRA as a test. Instead, the assessment is a combination of teacher observations of everyday activities and students' answers to questions. The results of the KRA provide a starting point for each child, and do not prevent any child from entering kindergarten.
Also starting with the 2014-15 school year, the language and literacy portion of the new KRA meets the reading diagnostic assessment requirement of the Third Grade Reading Guarantee. To meet this diagnostic requirement, teachers must complete at least the Language and Literacy portion of the KRA no later than September 30. Learn more about the Third Grade Reading Guarantee, and how public libraries can support students, parents, and educators, on the Ohio Public Libraries and Student Learning resource provided by ORTR.
Extensive information and additional resources about the new KRA, including an overview for families and an FAQ for parents and caregivers, may be found on the Ohio Department of Education website. Librarians may also want to share the preschool and kindergarten parent/caregiver tipsheets provided by Reading 'Round the Clock, a partnership of the Ohio Educational Library Media Association, INFOhio, Ohio PTA, and State Library of Ohio.
Additionally, a preview of Ohio's New KRA was provided at the 2013 Ohio Education Conference. See also the Early Learning Challenge Collaborative website and the BUILD Initiative website for more information.

Gramsci writes about/i>
Though he died as Benito Mussolini's prisoner, leaving only newspaper articles and fragmentary notes, Antonio Gramsci is now seen as the most significant Marxist thinker since Lenin. This volume is the first English translation of his writings on culture, organically and coherently edited from his journalism and his Prison Notebooks.
Gramsci writes about the popular and the great artists from Jules Verne to Dante, but not as so many timeless monuments. He sees artworks in the context of their reception and their absorption in particular cultures and histories. He is sensitive to the politics of culture as well as to the demands of philological scholarship, as his superb work on Dante in this volume shows. We have in this book Gramsci's changing views on particular literary movements and authors, as well as his ideas on the nature of proletarian and popular cultural criticism. Throughout he is concerned with cultural analysis and strategy rather than literary criticism by itself. The headnotes and footnotes prepared by Forgacs and Nowell-Smith address themselves both to the circumstances surrounding the composition of each segment and to the central problems of contemporary Gramsci scholarship. Antonio Gramsci is the twentieth-century writer who has most brilliantly and suggestively explored the ties that bind culture and politics. The publication of this collection is an event of major significance for theorists of all sorts.

Variable Fidelity Aeroelastic Toolkit - Structural Model

AbstractThe proposed innovation is a methodology to incorporate variable fidelity structural models into steady and unsteady aeroelastic and aeroservoelastic analyses in order to utilize the appropriate level of fidelity for the problem at hand. Some aeroelastic problems require detailed finite element modeling of the structure and servoelastic systems, or a detailed FEM may be the only structural model available. Other problems, such as efficient modeling of wind tunnel models and flight vehicles or multidisciplinary optimization (MDO), benefit from the relative simplicity of reduced order structural models. The unique value of this innovation is the ability to rapidly and repeatedly handle the significant difficulty of moving from a detailed model to a reduced order model and then carrying any subsequent design or optimization changes back to the higher order detailed structural model. The proposed methodology will automate the process of projecting lower order model changes, for example after an MDO application, back to the original (source) higher order model. The methodology will contribute to integrated design optimization tools that can synergistically vary the simulation fidelity to find optimum solutions using design variables from more than one discipline.

Brody Jenner Takes MAJOR Dig At Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian
Now that their families are no longer one, Brody Jenner has no problem putting down his former step siblings.
Now that their families are no longer one, Brody Jenner has no problem putting down his former step siblings.
For those of you hoping Brody Jenner would remain an eternal bachelor, I'm afraid I have some bad news.
For everyone else, I come bearing good news.
They may have both rallied to support Caitlyn Jenner Wednesday night, but Brody Jenner's feud with Kim Kardashian continues to this day.
Brody Jenner is opening up - and getting very candid - about The Hills and what was the most fake (and real) about the MTV reality smash.
It's only been one day since the world learned that Kourtney Kardashian dumped Scott Disick after nine years, three children, and countless hours of staged "reality" television together, but Kourt's family is already speaking out on the matter. Kind of...
Most of the Kards have actually been uncharacteristically quiet about Scott cheating with Chloe Bartoli, which is funny, because you know they'll have plenty to say about it once the new season of Keeping Up kicks off.
Last we heard from Brody Jenner, he was making graphic sex jokes about his teenage sister on Instagram. So it's safe to say he might not be the authority on healthy familial relationships.
Nevertheless, Brody has been supportive of Caitlyn Jenner throughout her transition and he's offered kind words about his father in several interviews over the past few weeks.
If you thought the drama would die down in the days following Bruce Jenner's Diane Sawyer interview, then you don't know the Kardashian-Jenner clan.
As you've likely heard, Bruce's family has offered support and spoken publicly of how proud they are of the former Olympian for going public with his lifelong struggle with gender dysphoria, but there's been some doubt about who supported him all along and who's just jumping on the bandwagon.
When the Bruce Jenner-Diane Sawyer interview aired on Friday night, it confirmed what had been something of an open secret in the entertainment world for several years.
No one was shocked when Jenner memorably described himself as having "a woman's soul," but there were plenty of other surprising revelations throughout the 2-hour special.
The Jenner-Kardashian family may all be in full support of Bruce Jenner, but that doesn't mean they are in full support of one another at all times.
Case in point: Brody Jenner took to Instagram on Sunday and has some fun at the expense of his step-sister.

It's that time of year again: Manufacturers need to make room on dealer lots for new 2009 models, so the 2008s have to hit the road, and that means more incentives. We'll be highlighting deals from a number of manufacturers, along with notes on which models will change substantially for 2009.
Like many manufacturers, Nissan is offering huge cash-back offers on its trucks and SUVs — the Armada and Titan, specifically — but is also offering a good variety of cash-back deals on other 2008 models. A full list of 2008 Nissan deals from our incentives page is below:
Those offers are available across a variety of regions we tested, but as always, be sure to use your own zip code to make sure offers apply in your region.The deals are good through Sept. 2.
The Maxima is all-new for 2009, and you can read our coverage of it here. The Frontier and Xterra receive some upgrades, but they aren't as significant. Check out the changes here.

HIPAA or PDF Medical CA
Medical CA and see the HIPAA approach was used in the past but now it's best to use the PDF approach, this true?
EX does not show DOFD, but says Date Opened: 03/2011, EQ says DOFD 11/2010, TU says Estimated month and year that this item will be removed: 10/2017. I am scared to stir this one up, it's not that much $195, but I am not sure whether it is close to the SOL (3 years in Alabama?).
Should I try to follow the HIPAA approach, PDF it, or find out when it will TRULY be out of the SOL and ask for it to be removed?

Hi guys,
I have a small problem with my site - whenever I click the 'Previous Entries' link at the bottom of the main page, it takes me to http://localhost:8888/wordpress/wordpress/page/2/, but it turns out to be a 404 page. Changing themes still results in a 404 page, so I'm thinking it's something I altered in my WP root folder.
The page I really want the 'Previous Entries' link to go to is http://localhost:8888/wordpress/page/2/, not the link above, so how can I change it?
When I click 'Previous Entries' on my categories pages, it works fine. What did I do?

This paper reviews the empirical evidence of the effect of credibility of the message source on persuasion over a span of 5 decades, primarily to come up with recommendations for practitioners as to when to use a high- or a low-credibility source and secondarily to identify areas for future research. The main effect studies of source credibility on persuasion seem to indicate the superiority of a high-credibility source over a low-credibility one. Interaction effect studies, however, show source credibility to be a liability under certain conditions. The variables found to interact with source credibility are categorized into 5 categories: source, message, channel, receiver, and destination variables. The most heavily researched variables have been the message and receiver variables. Implications for marketers/advertisers and suggestions for future research are discussed.
