Anne Heymenstaff biosend email
I'm changing the lyrics of that old Christmas favorite ''All I want for Christmas are my two front teeth.'' I'm personally humming this season ''All I want for Christmas are my glasses and my voice.''
Both are pretty illusive at this writing.
The lost voice seems to be on the mend. The Case of the Missing Glasses remains one big mystery.
The lost voice occurred over the Thanksgiving holiday. You Know Who and I ran away from home. We escaped to the Florida Keys. I didn't cook a turkey. I didn't bake a pumpkin pie.
Heck, I didn't do anything.
the whole vacation was wonderful -- until I had to launch a search for my voice.
I shouldn't have been surprised. The voice goes to La La Land every year at this time. But for some reason, this year You Know Who and people I had, heretofore, listed on my plus side, thought it was hilarious.
''Hey, Anne. I want you to know I'm on the job,'' neighbor Deputy Sheriff Peter Naughton informed me. ''I've put out an APB, and I will leave no stone unturned'' until I find your voice.
''Ha ha,'' said I, with the grin on my face, but not even a tiny weeny hint of a twinkle in my eyes.
In the end the voice search turned out to be a whole lot simpler than the second part of my problem: ''Operation Lost Glasses.''
Somewhere in the house in which You Know Who and I reside is a pair of glasses just laughing at me. They know where they are. I don't.
Several years ago I wrote about an invention I wanted to undertake -- a glasses call which would respond at the clap of a hand.
I should have pursued that dream.
Unlike the rest of the world, I have to remove my glasses to read anything up close and personal. As a result, I tend to grab the glasses from my face and fling them on the nearest surface -- flat or otherwise.
My problem, at this point, is I cannot tell you what the last flat or otherwise surface turned out to be. As I write this column at 2 a.m. on a Wednesday in December, my head is in constant rotation searching the den for said MIA glasses. The glasses disappeared Saturday. I had them in the morning, but somewhere, sometime, somehow, in the middle of that day, I placed them I know not where. I've searched high and low, but to no avail.
''I've searched everywhere,'' I lamented to You Know Who -- to which he quickly replied: ''Not everywhere, or you'd have those glasses back by now.''
Sadly, he's correct.
My only hope now is Deputy Naughton. I called his wife, Rene, the other day, and asked how his search for my voice was progressing.
''He's still on the job,'' she assured me.
''Good,'' I said. ''While he's at it, ask him to look for my glasses, too.''

The CyberPower Gamer Xtreme XE - Internals
The Corsair TX650W is a great power supply, but it lacks the ability to unplug unused cables since it is not modular. CyberPower has done a good job bundling the cables to reduce case clutter, but I would have liked to have seen a modular PSU used to further eliminate unused cables.
When it comes to cooling, CyberPower has outfitted the Centurion 590 with three 120mm blue LED fans, one bringing fresh air in and two expelling the warmer air. The CPU is cooled with an Asetek closed loop watercooling unit that dispels processor heat through an additional 120mm fan on the back of the case.
The CyberPower Gamer Xtreme XE uses two 500 GB hard drives in RAID 0. Here we see that the cables for these drives are tucked away.
We see the same bundling at the top of the system where the DVD, Blu-ray and card reader is located.
Here we see two of the 120mm fans mounted at the top of the case and the closed loop watercooling unit.
As you can see, CyberPower used Kingston memory for this system. Kingston memory is used by many system builders due to their low return rate. A few years ago I visited one of the largest system builders and was told that nearly all returns were a result in faulty memory. It is nice to see that CyberPower choose memory from a company that has such a low return rate.
The Gamer Xtreme XE is obviously a system build for gamers and the ATI Radeon 4870 X2is the fastest gaming graphics card on the market. When it comes to price vs. performance, bang for the buck, the 4870 X2isn't too bad in this area either, even though it is the fastest card on the market.
The back side of the case hides many of the cables from the Corsair power supply. Out of sight, out of mind; but when you need extra connectors, they are there to make component expansion possible.

Giulia Ricco
Giulia Ricco is a PhD student in Romance Studies at Duke University, working on both Italian and Brazilian literature. Her main interests are the representation of violence in literature, politics of memory and metafictional cinema. Her research will analyze cases of literary texts that were able to influence institutional decisions, therefore acting outside of their aesthetical realm and manifesting their ethical potency. She is originally from Bologna, where she obtained both her B.A. (2010) and M.A. (2012) in Foreign Languages and Literatures, with an emphasis in Portuguese and English.
Kena Wani
Kena Wani is a PhD student in the History Department. Her dissertation explores the arrival of communication satellite technology and television in India between 1970s and 90s. Specifically, she focuses on the early phase of experimentation and developmental television that was geared towards agrarian care and education. Her project aims to study the themes of media and development by taking into consideration the history of satellite technologies, transnational expertise and the politics of broadcasting. Her work further examines the ways in which such techno-scientific cultures produced two quite contradictory subject positions – the rural Indian peasant and the global human species, and the constitutive role they played in the practice and discourse of development in post-colonial India.
Claire Payton
Claire Payton is a Ph.D. Candidate in the History Department. Her dissertation explores the transnational nexus of interests and actors that shaped the impact of international development on Port-au-Prince, Haiti, during the Duvalier period (1957-1986). By documenting how international development actors got a foothold in the country in the second-half of the twentieth century, her research places the common perception of Haiti as a place in need of "saving" in its historical context. Her work further examines how development ideologies were mobilized by the Duvalier dictatorships in order to secure resources to govern locally. Additionally, she is the creator of the Haiti Memory Project, an oral history archival collection that documents first-person testimonies of survivors of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti.
Brett McCarty is a Th.D. candidate in theology and ethics at Duke Divinity School.

Madalyn Ruggiero, Associated Press
DETROIT — Nine suspects tied to a Midwest Christian militia that was preparing for the Antichrist were charged with conspiring to kill police officers, then attack a funeral using homemade bombs in the hopes of killing more law enforcement personnel, federal prosecutors said Monday.
The Michigan-based group, called Hutaree, planned to use the attack on police as a catalyst for a larger uprising against the government, according to newly unsealed court papers. U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade said agents moved on the group because its members were planning a violent reconnaissance mission sometime in April.
Members of the group, including its leader, David Brian Stone, also known as "Captain Hutaree," were charged following FBI raids over the weekend on locations in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana.
The idea of attacking a police funeral was one of numerous scenarios discussed as ways to go after law enforcement officers, the indictment said. Other scenarios included a fake 911 call to lure an officer to his or her death, or an attack on the family of a police officer.
Once other officers gathered for a slain officer's funeral, the group planned to detonate homemade bombs at the funeral, killing more, according to the indictment.
After such attacks, the group allegedly planned to retreat to "rally points" protected by trip-wired improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, for what they expected would become a violent standoff with law enforcement personnel.
"It is believed by the Hutaree that this engagement would then serve as a catalyst for a more wide-spread uprising against the government," the indictment charges.
According to investigators, the Hutaree view local, state, and federal law enforcement personnel as a "brotherhood" and an enemy, and planned to attack them as part of an armed struggle against the U.S. government.
The indictment charges members of the group conspired "to levy war against the United States, (and) to oppose by force the authority of the government of the United States."
Eight suspects have been arrested by the FBI, and one more is being sought. Of the eight captured, seven were arraigned Monday in Detroit and ordered held pending a bond hearing Wednesday.
The charges against the eight include seditious conspiracy, possessing a firearm during a crime of violence, teaching the use of explosives, and attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction — homemade bombs. All seven defendants in court on Monday requested to be represented by the federal defender's office.
The arrests have dealt "a severe blow to a dangerous organization that today stands accused of conspiring to levy war against the United States," U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said Monday.
Stone's ex-wife, Donna Stone, told The Associated Press before the arraignments that her former husband was to blame for pulling her son into the Hutaree movement. She said David Brian Stone legally adopted her son, David Brian Stone Jr., who is among those indicted. She said the marriage lasted about 10 years.
"It started out as a Christian thing," said Donna Stone, 44. "You go to church. You pray. You take care of your family. I think David started to take it a little too far. He dragged a lot of people with him."
Another son of David Brian Stone, Joshua Matthew Stone, also was indicted and is a fugitive, said Detroit FBI spokeswoman Sandra Berchtold.
On its Web site, Hutaree quotes several Bible passages and states: "We believe that one day, as prophecy says, there will be an Anti-Christ. ... Jesus wanted us to be ready to defend ourselves using the sword and stay alive using equipment." There's also a picture on the site of 17 camouflaged men, all holding large guns.
The group didn't return an e-mail sent by The Associated Press, and attempts by telephone to reach the Stones went unanswered.

In a follow-up to the meeting held on Wednesday regarding the common admission procedure between the Education Department and private schools, the Independent School Association (ISA) has now sought a written clarification on various issues related to admissions for the upcoming session.
While the details of the expenses for admitting Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) students under the Right To Education at the entry level classes is to be submitted by the schools for the three sessions since 2010, including the ongoing session, the schools have requested for clarification on admitting 15 per cent disadvantaged children.
"For schools that were allotted land prior to 1996 and have a condition in their land allotment letter to provide reservation for 15 per cent EWS students, if this reservation of 15 per cent is not a part of the RTE then the total reservation would add upto 40 (15+25) percent and if only the students beyond 15 percent be reimbursed?" asks ISA President H S Mamik.
The letter states that the matter of fee revision was still pending in the High Court and that it may not be possible to adhere to any strict schedule of admissions and the Administration has been requested to treat the matter of the common admissions only as an advisory to the private schools.
Further information was sought on the Notification of Child Mapping and in what percentage should SC, ST, OBC, the socially and educationally and backward class and disadvantaged group be admitted within the reservation.
Other points questioned include the Eligibility Income Criteria under EWS, the amount of the school fee that will be reimbursed, mode of payment, date of fee reimbursement, decision on vacant seats and mid-session drop out.
Also questioned was issue of the subsequent reimbursement, and the action liable to be taken on the submission of fake documents by a candidate, and under whose jurisdiction that would fall under.

On February 2nd 1848, following a short and one-sided war, Mexico agreed to cede more than half its territory to the United States. An area covering most of present-day Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah, plus parts of several other states, was handed over to gringolandia. The rebellious state of Tejas, which had declared its independence from Mexico in 1836, was recognised as American soil too. But a century and a half later, communities have proved more durable than borders. The counties with the highest concentration of Mexicans (as defined by ethnicity, rather than citizenship) overlap closely with the area that belonged to Mexico before the great gringo land-grab of 1848. Some are recent arrivals; others trace their roots to long before the map was redrawn. They didn't jump the border—it jumped them.

"The total population in sub-Saharan Africa is expected to grow at a faster pace than in any other region in the decades ahead, more than doubling from 823 million in 2010 to 1.9 billion in 2050. As a result, the two dominant religions in the region – Christianity and Islam – both are expected to have more than twice as many adherents in 2050 as in 2010."
Via Seth Dixon
Seth Dixon's curator insight, May 16, 2:58 PM
Sub-Saharan Africa is one of the poorest regions of the world. While the economy is growing, the rate at which poverty is falling is less than the population growth rate. Nearly all of the population growth in Africa between now and 2050 is expected to occur in Sub-Saharan Africa. As the population grows, the religious dynamics of Sub-Saharan Africa will change. The share of residents practicing Christianity, the majority religion of the region, is expected to decline from 2010 to 2050 while the share of Muslims is expected to increase in the same time frame. The changes in religious demographics is occurring alongside the region's youth bulge (click here for a population pyramid). Understanding religious demographics is key to understanding the challenges faced by the African people.
Question to Ponder: What impact are the region's two fastest-growing religions having on Sub-Saharan Africa's overall fertility rate?

Great simple map of world population. Scroll down and look at the U.S. It reflects the global trend. This also has political implications, as evidenced by voting patterns in the 2012 presidential election. Elections are dependent upon votes, which come from people, which are primarily clustered in cities. Election campaigns would use this data to plan their schedules as to where to focus their campaigning efforts. For the folks in Wyoming, they rarely see candidates other than during the primaries. And these world populationclusters have been relatively consistent historically, particularly in south and east Asia. Northern India has serious carrying capacity challenges. Notice the clusters along the Nile- evidence of arable land.

"Alexander von Humboldt has been largely forgotten in the English-speaking world," writes Andrea Wulf in her thrilling new biography.

Alexander von Humboldt has been described as the last great ancient geographer concerned with understanding an eclectic cosmography as well as the first modern geographer. He is honored far and wide throughout Europe and especially Latin America for his explorations, but given that people are confused as how to categorize him and classify his contributions, today he is under-appreciated. Geographers need to reclaim his memory and call his extensive, globetrotting work on a wide range of subjects 'geography.' Here are more articles and videos on the man that I feel geographers should publicly champion as their intellectual ancestor the way that biologists point to Darwin.

Sheriff Ray Issues Warning About New Scam
Sheriff Patrick Ray is issuing a warning concerning a new scam taking place in DeKalb County.
According to Sheriff Ray, the scam usually occurs after a family has lost a loved one. The scammer sends a letter to the family or contacts the family by mail stating that they are from a bank or credit company and the deceased person has an account with them. The scammer tells the victim that they will discount the bill if the victim will pay the balance at one time. Most deceased victims have never had an account with the bank or credit company. Sheriff Ray says if you have been targeted by this type of scam, don't pay the bill, but instead call the bank or credit company and ask about it. You do not need to call the scammer's number. "Many people that I have talked to said they called the bank directly and the bank had no knowledge of the bill whatsoever". If you believe you have been the target of a scam, you should report it to the Federal Bureau of Investigation by going on line to the FBI's main website.
Meanwhile, in this week's county crime news, Sheriff Ray says 47 year old Lucille Killian Wright of Ragland Bottom Motel, Sparta Highway was arrested on Thursday, July 23rd for disorderly conduct. Deputies were summoned to Highway 70 East to a domestic call. After arrival, the officers were told that Wright was involved in the disturbance and upon talking to her, Wright began arguing with them. According to the deputies, Wright was cussing, screaming, and threatening to beat up the officers. Wright was arrested for disorderly conduct and her bond was set at $2,500. She will appear in court on August 27th.
23 year old Shauna Faye Stringer was arrested on Friday, July 24th for public intoxication after she entered the DeKalb County Jail to serve her weekend. Correctional Officers at the Jail noticed Stringer to be unsteady on her feet and she had an odor of alcohol on her person. Stringer's bond was set at $1,000 and she will appear in court on August 5th. Sheriff Ray says he will ask Judge Bratten Cook II that Stringer be ordered to serve her time straight because this is the second time within the last few weeks that she has been charged for weekend violations. Sheriff Ray says a few weeks ago Stringer was charged with failure to appear because she did not show up at the jail to serve her time.
Meanwhile, on Saturday, July 25th a county deputy was dispatched to the Four Seasons area in answer to a complaint about trespassers. While in the area, the officer stopped 29 year old Kym Denise Curtis of Judge Warren Road, McMinnville for a light law violation. After the traffic stop, the deputy noticed that Curtis had slurred speech. She was unsteady on her feet, and she had a strong odor of alcohol on her person. Curtis submitted to field sobriety tasks which she failed. She also refused a blood test. There were two passengers in the car, Curtis' five year old daughter and Curtis' 17 year old half sister. There was no child seat in the car for the five year old. According to Sheriff Ray, when Curtis was asked if she wanted to call someone to come and get the child, her response was "I do not care, do what you want, you will any way." The 17 year old, who was also intoxicated, told the officers that Curtis had provided her alcohol and had furnished her marijuana in the past. Curtis was charged with a first offense of driving under the influence, child neglect, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor for furnishing the 17 year old beer. Her bond was set at $9,000 and her court date is September 3rd. Curtis was also issued citations for a light law violation, two seat belt violations, and violation of the implied consent law. The Department of Children's Services was contacted concerning the five year old.

Patient Comments: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) - Symptoms
What symptoms did you experience with polycystic ovarian syndrome?
Comment from: 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: May 30
I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome 7 years ago. My periods have been nonexistent and then so heavy that I am bleeding all over myself and last for months. I gained a lot of weight and have been unable to lose any of it even with working out in the gym 5 to 6 days a week. I changed my diet and I even went as far as not eating but one small meal a day. Nothing was working. Just this year after I switched physicians, I was put on Metformin. Metformin allowed me to lose 10 pounds the first month. I continued to lose a little weight over the next couple weeks and then it all stopped. My periods are still crazy. I get major headaches. I have acne like crazy and I have insanely fast growing hair. If I shave in the morning by midafternoon I have as much hair on my legs as most do after 2 days. I have hot flashes that I call, "My own personal summer." It is all very frustrating. However, I took Metformin and Clomid to get pregnant and I have had 3 children with it! Now that I am done having children, I wish the doctors would just remove my ovaries. I would prefer to take the hormones that my body needs daily rather than deal with everything else that PCOS brings even with the side effects of the hormone replacement.
Comment from: herbkat014, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: October 27
I was diagnosed with PCOS since I was 18 and have been going through a really difficult time. I was even diagnosed with Hyperplasia a-typia of the uterus and now possible ovarian cancer. Ive been begging my doctors to give me a hyterectomy and have had no success they do not want to operate because I am only 30 and no children. Ive had an increase of hirsutism and weight loss has been difficult. I am now going through a lot of pain in the abdomen and nothing is helping. My mood swings are severe and I'm going through bad depressions. I've been having random body aches and to go to the bathroom is the worst. Ive been also diagnosed as a pre-diabetic.
Comment from: 25-34 Female Published: October 12
I have PCOS as well. I have been overweight for my entire life. I never had a problem with my periods until I was 21 and now I am 27. After I met my husband, I stopped ovulating, continued to get excessive facial hair and gain weight. We tried getting pregnant earlier this year, and I ovulated both months I was on Clomid, but we didn't conceive. I am now on prescription weight-loss medicine and am walking five times a week. I cut out all sweet teas and drink only unsweetened tea, water and diet soda occasionally. I have lost more than 30 pounds in three months. I am planning on having weight-loss surgery next year. A lot of women who have PCOS lose the excess weight and are able to conceive after weight-loss surgery. My insurance pays for the surgery, so I am going to have it performed. I am hoping and praying that once all this is over that I will be able to conceive.
Comment from: leny, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: June 10
I have continuous bleeding that is moderate to heavy. I also had an endometrial polyp aside from polycystic ovarian syndrome. I had been through deletion and curettage, but I do still experience unstoppable bleeding.
Comment from: Tiff, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: March 29
My periods have always been irregular, sometimes I have even went a year without having one. But recently I have started losing hair on the side of my head, and growing hair on my chin. I am overweight now and have extreme pelvic pain from time to time. And of course I have dozens of small cysts on my ovaries. I have recently been diagnosed with insulin resistance, and hypertension as well. Until now I didn't know they were all related.
Comment from: Female (Patient) Published: March 16
With my PCOS I experienced increased facial hair, infertility and weight gain.
Comment from: kavita, 19-24 Female (Patient) Published: October 31
I am 24 years old and I am suffering from polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) since 15 years old. My periods were irregular, and I used to get a period once every six months. The bleeding was so heavy that it won't stop even after 30 days unless I consult a doctor and take some pill to control the bleeding. Now, the last 5 years, I'm taking Ovral-L which causes my period to occur on a monthly basis but the flow of blood is low. I have some dark spots on my face and my skin is highly pigmented and I don't understand how to deal with the skin problems as I have consulted many skin specialists and now I'm literally fed up. I have already given up and don't think that there is any solution for this. All the doctors just do their experiments with negative results.

Radiosurgery and Immunotherapy for Melanoma Patients With Brain Metastases
In this video we discuss the use of concurrent immunotherapy and stereotactic radiosurgery for treatment of melanoma brain metastases.
Concurrent SRS, Immunotherapy Improved Response in Melanoma Brain Mets
Undergoing immunotherapy within a month of stereotactic radiosurgery resulted in an improved response to treatment for patients with melanoma brain metastases.
Adjuvant Temozolomide Improves Survival in Some Anaplastic Gliomas Patients
Adjuvant temozolomide chemotherapy following radiotherapy improves survival among patients with anaplastic gliomas that do not harbor 1p/19q co-deletions, according to interim results from a phase III trial.
Polio-Rhinovirus Conjugate Receives Breakthrough Therapy Designation for Glioblastoma
The US Food and Drug Administration granted the "breakthrough therapy" designation to a recombination poliovirus/rhinovirus conjugate known as PVS-RIPO, for treatment of recurrent glioblastoma multiforme.
Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy Better in Biopsy-Only GBM Patients
Combined temozolomide and radiotherapy offer significantly better overall survival than radiotherapy alone in patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) who undergo biopsy only rather than surgical resection.
Applications of Genomic Sequencing in Pediatric CNS Tumors
This review will discuss examples of clinical applications of tumor and germline genomic testing for children with central nervous system (CNS) tumors, as well as promising investigative strategies.
Pediatric Neuro-Oncology: Time to Go Molecular
One recurring theme from genomic studies of pediatric CNS tumors (and almost all cancers, for that matter) is that tumors that historically appeared to be a single entity based on examination under the microscope and routine immunohistochemical staining actually harbor molecularly distinct subgroups when analyzed by genomic sequencing techniques.
ASCO: No Benefit From Avastin in Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma
Results of two phase III trials, presented at ASCO, on the addition of bevacizumab (Avastin) to standard therapy in newly diagnosed glioblastoma found that the drug added no benefit.

Fip™ — NEW!: The Design
Say "Hello World" to Fip
Born under the watchful stares of the Berlin type and art scene, Fip was designed live in a gallery for the exhibition "In Progress:".
After one month of development in the gallery, the release was scheduled to coincide with the show's closing party. However, in the last days of the work, rather than finishing up the design and preparing final files, the scope of the project was greatly expanded to include more styles, features, and Cyrillic.
Fast forward a couple years and finally Fip is ready to be set free. It's evolved into a massive family of 64 monospaced fonts that feature a wide range of different styles. The diversity of this family offers unique flexibility for many different tastes and projects.
Download Fip's PDF specimen to check it out in more detail.
It's all in the details
There are several noticeable features that make Fip immediately recognizable:
Comprehensive Character Set
The Latin portion of Fip covers Central and Western European languages. Especially for our Eastern European friends, Fip features the Adobe Extended Cyrllic character set. All in all, the 717 glyphs cover 294 languages
Click to zoom ▼
Fip vs Fip Rounded
The 'original' version of Fip is somewhat decorative with various cuts and notches on serifs, corners, and terminals.
The Rounded version features not just rounded corners – it has a softer and more simplified design than the original.
Fip Sans
Sliced & severed serifs secures Sans' style. Astute typographers will notice how the lack of seriffed ornamentation drastically alters the feel of the design. Between harshly removing the serifs and delicately adjusting select forms & proportions, Fip Sans has a clear and streamlined presence – for when less is more.
Fip Rough
Harking back to the good ol' days, the rough versions of Fip are reminiscent of splotchy typewriters and cheap printing. These fonts give a warm, organic feel for when straight lines and sharp vectors are just toooo perfect.
Rough versions come complimentary (yes FREE!) alongside every purchase of the un-rough fonts.
Special web-optimized versions are included in the Web font packages. The normal OTF versions of the Rough fonts are quite large (700-800kb), and most of the details get lost in the pixels. So the optimized version are more simple and the files weigh in around 85-90kb each (105-110kb with Cyrillic included).
Every Individual Weight & Style
Why wait? Go ahead and get Fip now!

Cast: Jess West, Ryan Ryder, Samantha Bentley, Ava Dalush, Satine Spark, Luke Hotrod, Demetri XXX, Jasmine Jae, Franki Rider
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Foreign Feature
The Riot Girls are Jenna, Bett and Karma. An all-girl rock band touring the world and loving the Rock 'N Roll lifestyle. They are best friends and nothing could come between them. Enter Luke, a superstar photographer…
There's no Kathleen Hanna-inspired grrl power, revolutionary, system-destroying '90s goodness to be found here. Instead, this is about a group of British chicks in a band called The Riot Girls who deal with their existential angst by sucking and fucking the men around them. It's not a bad title, but your customers looking for punky feminist girl awesomeness will need to look elsewhere. What is here is a loosely-written feature that is an easy push to couples.
Guitarist Samantha Bentley strips in front of photographer Ryan Ryder to get his attention, and her rump bounces nicely when he fucks her in standing doggie. Lead singer Jasmine Jae stays away from Ryder at first, but when she finds out that Ryder and Bentley are old news, she is on Ryder's cock in a heartbeat. Band manager Ava Dalush is more interested in getting fucked by inked up musician Luke Hotrod than in any business deal, and their passionate pairing is a good one.
Drummer Franki Rider and sound engineer Demetri XXX get their groove on across the cushions a couch in the recording studio.

I spent a lot of time visiting southern Maine when I lived in Mass. Nearby Kennebunkport was one of my favorite places to take out-of-towners.

I found that if you type in long item description the default width cannot handle, so how to make it can be in wrapping text?
I found that if you type in long item description the default width cannot handle, so how to make it can be in wrapping text?
Hi Lunlun122,
Yes, I was aware of this limitation. Due to the dynamic nature of the invoice setup, I can't assume that one particular field will be used for a description. My thinking was that the 2 multiline textareas provided would be suffice to enter a good amount of text to counter the need to put alot of text in the row descriptions.
With that said, I am planning on releasing v2.0 at some stage that will offer a greater amount of choice in the way of options for setting up the columns (specifying price fields, whole number fields, large text fields etc) which will enable to me to better output these on both the edit screen and the PDF.
When this will happen, I can't say. I'm currently working on some other ideas at the moment along with my own freelance work and my full time position so as you can imagine, time is not on my side.
I know this isn't the most ideal answer to your question, but I do hope you are able to work with my current solution for the time being.
Hi Lunlun122,
The latest update, Version 1.1 now has a solution to the long descriptions and wraps the text.

Improvements in child health through research will be made at an increasingly
accelerated pace during the post-genomic era. Advances made possible through
genomics, proteomics, and the application of nanosystem technology, coupled
with a greater understanding of the influence of the environment on human
genes, will enhance our ability to prevent, modify, or cure numerous childhood
disorders. This article reviews some of the more pressing and important causes
of morbidity and mortality in children, discusses the manner in which some
of the newer technologies may be applied to investigations of these disorders,
and offers predictions concerning the effect that new discoveries may have
in ameliorating the morbid consequences of childhood diseases. The need to
design and implement prospective long-term studies to determine the most effective
ways to reduce the burden of preventable problems, which are rooted in societal
issues (child abuse, alcoholism, drug abuse, and homicide) is highlighted.
Physician-scientists also must address the ethical, political, and social
questions already raised by recent advances in medicine.

tommy would injure many if he fought 147 today. tommy was very young when he was 147, naturally mature men will gain muscle and strength and with that comes the weight.
growing up right out side of the Detroit city limits I grew up watching these guys fight on there ways up. Kronk night at the fights with mccrory, Goodwin, kenty, hearns, super bad, ....
anyway, hearns was a nightmare for just about any welterweight ever. Sure hearns may not make it out of acouple bouts, but chances are neither will his opponents................ Rockin'

Height, Reach, And Power Advantage. The fact he was 6'2 and able to go down to 147 is impressive. Paul Williams was the same way, over 6 foot and fighting welterweight.

He was fighting at his natural weight, believe it or not.
Same-day weigh-ins were in place until he'd already moved up to JMW. So he weighed in as a WW, and entered the ring as a WW.

Thats why Leonard and Duran are thought of so highly since they took on guys like Hearns with no catchweight and other contract crap you hear nowadays.

I don't think he ever weighed 142. He was a great welterweight in his younger days but was already weight drained by the time he lost to Leonard. I can't remember if the same day weigh in was the rule when he fought Leonard and of course that would make a big difference. I think it was the same day weigh in then which means he could have stayed strong at 147 for many years with the system of weighing in 32 hours before the fight and then re-hydrating. He was a great 154 pounder and a good middleweight but a bit light for that weight and he did not have that good of chin at 160. Don't get me wrong, he was still a very good middleweight but a good puncher could take him out if they landed as Hagler and Barkley did.l

Hearns had no weight on his legs, which are the biggest and heaviest muscles on the body. He was indeed an unusual looking WW, but a great one. Almost nobody could live with his reach and power. Wish he was around today.

I think he would spark out everyone at 147 today, too big, too strong. Mayweather is fighting the likes of Guerrero, Hearns fought SRL/Hagler/Duran.

And the big banks, big insurance,, big oil, the American Bar Association, Koch et al, Soros et al, big unions, big biz, etc. In doing a little research, the NRA is a long way from being a top political contributor or lobbying organization. With all of the hype about the NRA I was a little disappointed.
AMEN, I belong to NRA and wil continue to support the right to carry and own for my own protection.
Clever but unrealistic. Lots of companies and unions have contributed much more money to the buying of congressional influence.
No offense intended, Adrian, but you don't want to bring your pepper spray to a gun fight.
I don't think the NRA supports gun rights for criminals, semi sane, or insane, and I think it was in Florida (not sure of the state here) the NRA had recommended stricter guidelines on Florida's "stand your ground" law than the legislature passed.
The NRA has turned crazy since I became a life member 50 years ago, but then there were no large groups of anti-gun crazies. This year's boom in gun sales motivated by the latest demand for more gun laws boosted gun supplier profits and the number of guns in the hands of under-educated citizens.
The NRA hasn't supported "responsible" gun ownership for quite some time. From teflon coated bullets, to large capacity magazines, changing position on "background checks", mostly supporting military style weapons, and unlimited access to PISTOLS and "short barrel" weapons like MAC 10's, Uzi, and other easily concealed high capacity NON-HUNTNG weapons that are NOT "rifles", La Pierre, and Carter (non Jimmie) before him HAVE made Nugent a more appropriate representative of the organization.
As a gun owner, who supports the Second Amendment, and "rational" gun ownership, I see the NRA as one of my greatest threats, not advocate.
Adam Lanza had an NRA certificate. NRA supports domestic terrorism by making guns available to every Nutt, Dick and Harry.
I support universal background checks of all purchased weapons, as does a vast majority of Americans, AS WELL AS NRA MEMBERS. The NRA directors disagree with that important protection!
Bush,master successfully sold it's tactical, army grade weapon and ammunition to a crazed killer, who slaughtered 20 children. Simple, even for you.
The NRA wants NO RESTRICTIONS on military-tactical weapons.
Canada exists without universal access to weapons. Canada also doesn't have tens of thousands of gun deaths. Nor has Canada fallen into chaos or anarchy due to an absence of military grade weapons among its citizens.
Sorry,, wrong again! NRA members WANT gun reforms!
Strawman purchases of weapons at gun shows circumvents back ground checks. 40% of gun sales are private, without a background check.

For more than 100 years, the tangential buff method has been the mainstay of mechanical metal finishing. Typically, it uses narrow buff heads and small-to medium-diameter buff wheels of 12"-18", turning at high speeds up to 1750 rpm. In the process the buffs cover only the buffing area.
The key to effective Tangential Buffing is to run fast, hard and hot without burying the part deep into the buff wheel. The buffing surface is best positioned tangential to the buff, at a 90° angle, hence the name.
Tangential buffing is ideal for:
- Hand Operations (part easily manipulated)
- Robotic Applications
- Flat or Round Parts (without complex geometries)
- Simple Shapes (ferrous and non-ferrous)
Tangential buffs are usually all-cotton because temperatures are too hot for poly-cotton fabrics.
Buffing Hints
Take advantage of our extensive Buffing Hints Library that provides easy-to-understand reference materials on all aspects of buffing.

New to iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch and curious how to set up Notification Center's Lock Screen and privacy options? To help you juggle the opposing demands of convenience and security, Apple has provided several options for each app. This gives you some granular control over how much -- or how little -- glance-able information your notifications show you.
How Lock Screen info works
- If it's a single notification, you get a single popup.
- If it's multiple notifications, you get a stacked list view.
- If it's a single notification but there have been previous unread notifications, you get a single popup but can view the complete list by swiping down from the time/date bar (a small gripper icon indicates when this is possible.)
- If it's a notification along with a secondary action, for example Snooze for an alarm notification, a secondary button will also appear for that action.
You can also optionally make the LED flash go off, or set a sound/vibration as well for a Lock Screen or any notification.
Slide the icon for any notification -- just like Slide to Unlock -- to go directly to the app. (Sliding the icon, or sliding to unlock, clears all Lock Screen notifications.)
Lock Screen info and privacy settings
Note: Not all apps have all the options listed below.
- The Show Preview toggle is for privacy advocates. By turning this off, you'll no longer see a preview of the notification (which can include who sent email, tweets, iMessages, etc. and even some or all of the content). Instead, you'll simply be alerted of a new notification waiting.
- A Repeat Alert option lets you tell iOS to continue alerting you of the notification at two minute intervals. If you're trying to be discreet, this can be a big problem. If you're trying to make sure you don't miss anything, it can be a life saver. You can set it to repeat the alert up to ten times.
- View in Lock Screen is either your best friend or your worst nightmare. It shows your notifications even when your iPhone is asleep and locked, turning on the screen and showing you -- and anyone nearby -- everything coming your way. Turn this on if you don't want to have to unlock your iPhone to see your alerts. Turn this off if you want to keep things on the low down.
Let us know how these tips worked out for you, and if you have any questions, ask them in the comments below!
Daily Tips range from beginner-level 101 to advanced-level ninjary. If you already know this tip, keep the link handy as a quick way to help a friend. If you have a tip of your own you'd like to suggest, add them to the comments or send them in to email@example.com.

US E-Labels Act ends the requirement for regulator labels
Smartphone users in the US rejoice. You now have less clutter to stare at on the back of your devices. President Barack Obama has just signed into law the E-Labels Act which loosens the noose on device manufacturers to physically imprint regulators' signages on devices. This serves to clear up some room and conserve some space on devices, especially smaller ones. But considering it is just a US law, device makers will still have to comply with similar policies in other countries in the meantime.

Insiders Discuss the Closure of Irrational Games
Written Monday, March 10, 2014 By Lee BradleyView author's profile
This one's been floating around for a few days now, so apologies if you've already seen it. But for those that missed it first time around it's essential reading.
A report on Polygon has lifted the lid on the last days of BioShock developer Irrational Games, talking to a number of anonymous former employees about the studio's surprise closure.
"According to those with whom we spoke," says the report, "the closure was the combined result of unfettered creative freedom, lower-than-expected sales, the butting of heads between Levine and his employees and the unrealistic expectations of big-budget game development."
A total of 70 permanent employees were made redundant, as well as a small amount of contractors. And internally, although there had been concerns about Irrational's lack of activity following the completion of BioShock Infinite's DLC, there was "a willful disbelief" at what happened.
According to the report, studio boss Ken Levine - his hands shaking - announced that Irrational was closing down to a silent room of shocked developers. "Some submitted to the idea that the company would live forever because they had shipped BioShock," said a source.
At the heart of the problem was Ken Levine's perfectionism. He would demand endless iteration, regularly making developers re-do their work to more closely resemble his latest vision. "I realized that he's not someone you bullshit," said one source, "because he cares about that detail so much and really loves it when other people do too."
The report also supports the belief that without producer Rod Fergusson, who was drafted in from Epic Games late in development, BioShock Infinite would never have shipped. "If Thomas (Jordan Thomas, Creative Director at BioShock 2 dev 2K Marin) drew the map, then Fergusson established a final destination," says the report.
However, when the game finally shipped, it didn't sell as well as expected, Levine's attentions were focused elsewhere and Irrational's story came to an end.
You can find the full report through here. It's the most exhaustive story on Irrational's closure thus far and definitely worth a read.
