The Texas A&M-Oregon series is still on. See update at bottom.
A couple of weeks ago, we confirmed that Texas A&M and USC never finalized their 2015-16 home-and-home football series.
A spokesman for the USC athletic department told us that there were "very preliminary discussions between the schools, but nothing ever came of it." Later, Texas A&M told us that former Director of Athletics Bill Byrne started the discussions with USC but they had heard "nothing more about this series."
Although Texas A&M officially announced the series with USC, Byrne had apparently "jumped the gun" according to the Trojans.
Included with that official announcement was a 2018-19 home-and-home series between Texas A&M and Oregon. Two weeks ago, an Oregon official confirmed that there was a signed contract and that the games were scheduled for Sept. 15, 2018 in Eugene and Sept. 14, 2019 in College Station.
However, current A&M athletic director Eric Hyman told the Houston Chronicle yesterday that those games are no longer part of their plans because "having switched from the Big 12 to the SEC, we've had to scrub our whole schedule – throw it almost out. Going forward, we've had conversations with people, but we really can't be contractually (obligated) until the conference says you've got the green light."
So it appears that Texas A&M has or will back out of that future series with Oregon. That move essentially "scrubs" the Aggies future schedules after 2014.
Hyman went on to say that the Aggies want "balance" in their future schedules with likely an FCS team and a "lower-level BCS game, and then you have a game from a national standpoint."
Currently, Texas A&M has three games scheduled in 2014: vs. Lamar, at SMU, and vs. ULM. That schedule is ripe for the addition of a "national" game against a BCS program.
There are no games currently scheduled for the 2015 season. Louisiana Tech, originally schedule to visit in 2012, will play at Kyle Field in 2016. The only other future game scheduled is New Mexico in 2017.
With Oregon and USC no longer on Texas A&M's future football schedules, some writers believe that this is evidence that the SEC will move to a nine-game football schedule.
That may be true, but there is also a lot of uncertainty in future scheduling due to the upcoming College Football Playoff. In addition, SEC commissioner Mike Slive said at the Spring meetings this week that he wants to set dates for conference games first and then have schools schedule non-conference games around that.
"That's going to change, and that's why these few years are sort of steps towards the point where we're going to do the conference schedule and then fill in with the non-conference schedule" Slive said.
With so many changes in college football lately, future schedules will continue to be in flux.
Update (2:25 p.m. ET)
Alan Cannon, Texas A&M Associate Athletic Director for Media Relations, told us in an email that the Oregon series is still on.
Due to the transition of the new athletic staff, A&M athletics director Eric Hyman "was unaware of the signed contract and he is sorry for any confusion."
Dave Williford, Executive Assistant Athletic Director, Football Communications at Oregon also told us that TAMU's AD "misspoke" and lumped the USC and Oregon games together. "They assured us UO-A&M games are still on from their point – we have always considered them on."
With all of that being said, 2018-19 is still a long ways away. If the SEC moves to a nine-game schedule, or due to other factors, the series could still be mutually canceled.
How do you spell cowardice? I'll start believing that the SEC is the number one conference when they stop playing the directional schools.
The article mentions the series are in jeopardy because of conference scheduling, not a unwillingness to play these schools. Having one marquee ooc game on your schedule is wanted moving forward.
Yes, they say it's in question because of conference scheduling.
They're right. The SEC wants conference schedules to match the ease of SEC OOC schedules. That means attempting to back out of games against good teams and scheduling more patsies to artificially inflate your record.
I wish I was just trolling. But that's the god-awful truth. The SEC is a joke.
Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina all play non-conference rivals that matter. Alabama and LSU routinely open the season at a neutral site and win. What else do you want?
Need a playoff more than ever. SEC and other 14 team conferences can schedule 4 weak non conference teams and now they miss playing the toughest teams in their own conference some seasons. Just not enough games outside of conferences to crown a true champ unless you have an 8 team playoff!!
"Other 14 team conferences"? The SEC is the only 14 team conference! The fact that TAMU is using the "move to the SEC" as a bail-out is a direct reflection of the SEC's unwillingness to step up and play a true home-and-away against another top-tier BCS team.
SEC: You've been hiding behind your 8 game conf/4 OOC schedule long enough. Man up!
Other than two or three teams in the Big 10, Big 12, Pac 12, ACC, nearly all of them have weak non conference schedule. Nobody plays multiple ranked teams in non-conf. and only a few play even one ranked opponent. Telephones go both ways; rarely will other conference team agree to play a home and home with the SEC.
Not true dukforlife. The ACC has 14 teams this season and the Big 10 will have 14 next season
Coming from a fan of a Pac-12 school, an 8-team playoff is going to be much worse for non-SEC fans. Remember when LSU and Bama squared off for the NC? Expect more of that if you do go to an 8-team playoff. Bama would be in the NC game for sure. Then you'd have LSU, Texas A&M, South Carolina, and Georgia and any one of them could very well end up facing Bama in the title game even if they have to go through each other to get there.
and of course I would be talking about just this past season.
Bill, I agree with you. The playoff should include 8 teams. SEC with weak non-conference scheds most years.
Has anybody on here looked at how weak the non-conference schedules are of Pac-12, Big-10, Big-12, ACC, etc. I'm not exactly seeing a bunch of ranked teams there either. Texas A&M is being scared not to play those Oregon, USC games though.
Yes, everybody does look at other's non-conference schedules. You can't say a word about the Pac. They've have the toughest OOC schedules every single year for at LEAST a decade.
The reason we laugh at SEC schedules is because they play the weakest OOC on their own…but only having 8 in-conference games make SEC schedules the unquestioned weakest in the country. It's actually downright pathetic. And it's compounded by SEC fans attempting to anoint themselves the best every year without proving a damn thing.
Here's some data. I analyzed the 2012/13 out-of-conference regular season records of the SEC, Big 12, and Pac 12, using CBS's end of regular season rankings (because they ranked every team). Against teams who finished ranked in the top 50, the results for each conference follow (not including bowls):
Big 12: 1-3 (only top 25 win vs Tulsa)
Pac 12: 10-7 (top 25 wins vs Wisc, Neb, Ok St, BYU)
SEC: 9-5 (top 25 wins vs FSU, Clemson, Mich, La Tech)
The Pac 12 and SEC schedules were very comparable, Big 12 not so much.
Yeah, I'll believe the Aggies are actually going to play at Oregon only when I see their players run onto the field in Eugene. If aTm thinks they are going to be good that year, they'll cancel for sure. Only way they go to Eugene is if they're going through a terrible stretch and have no shot at a high ranking that year.
PAC-12 should expand to 14, adding Utah State, and Colorado State.
that is a silly comment. BYU and Boise would be the logical additions. Utah State plays in a stadium the size of a good basketball arena and does not even fill it. Colorado St. doesn't even play real football any more.
Agreed byu and Boise and if ur gunna add 2 more I say Hawaii(can't get more pacific than that) and either San Diego state Nevada or Air Force but I vote Nevada would make the pac16 map make since
no! Texas and Oklahoma or no one.
It would actually make scheduling CFB games a TON easier, plus they would make more money.
Tennessee played Oregon.
Alabama played VA Tech (normally good, down year)
LSU played TCU
South Carolina plays Clemson
Florida plays Florida State and Miami
Ole Miss played Texas
Miss. St played Oklahoma State
Kentucky played Louisville
Georgia plays Georgia Tech and Clemson
Not sure what you want from the SEC…
Wow, all i see is alot of he said she said. we'll see when the BCS championship is played. Its a long season, injuries weather, all I can say is watchout fot the Ducks. Quack Quack quack. 41 pts in 1 1/2 qrtrs in the rain. Dang.
Ha Ha. TAM backs out after all. Funny jokers in College Station.

The Master of Ballantrae: A Winter's Tale (Paperback)Robert Louis Stevenson, Adrian Poole
Paperback Published: 25/07/1996
- 5+ in stock
Click & Collect From your local shop
Set at the time of the Jacobite uprising, The Master of Ballantrae tells of a family divided. James Durie, Master of Ballantrae, abandons his ancestral home to support the Scottish rebellion - leaving his younger brother Henry, who is faithful to the English crown, to inherit the title of Lord Durrisdeer. But he is to return years later, embittered by battles and a savage life of piracy on the high seas, to demand his inheritance. Turning the people against the Lord, he begins a savage feud with his brother that will lead the pair from the Scottish Highlands to the American Wilderness. Satanic and seductive, the Master was regarded by Stevenson as all I know of the devil'; his darkly manipulative schemes dominate this subtle and compelling tragedy. This edition takes as its text the Edinburgh Edition of the novel, the last approved by the author. The introduction considers the novel's inspiration and its place as one of Stevenson's greatest studies in cruelty.

To The Editor:
I was intrigued to read the cover story in the People section in last week's paper titled "Taking Control With Exercise" especially when I noticed it was about an arthritis sufferer who "took control" and now teaches an arthritis specific exercise class. Arthritis is a disease that does not get much media attention, so the fact that a cover story had been written was pleasing to see.

Vodafone May Invoke India-Netherlands Pact in Tax Case – Report
By Mumbai Bureau of Dow Jones Newswires
Vodafone Group PLC — which may have to pay more than $2 billion in taxes on a 2007 acquisition if the Indian parliament passes a law change — could invoke the terms of an India-Netherlands treaty to get compensation from New Delhi.
This is because the U.K. company's $11.2 billion acquisition of a nearly 67% stake in Indian mobile operator Hutch Essar from Hong Kong-based Hutchison Telecom was conducted through a Netherlands-based unit, the Economic Times newspaper reported Friday, citing an unidentified person it said is aware of the matter.
It didn't give details of the pact.
In its federal budget in March, the government proposed a change in the law which would override an Indian Supreme Court ruling in January which said that Vodafone isn't liable to pay the tax because the deal was done between two foreign entities overseas.
A Vodafone spokesman told the Economic Times that the group is "urgently considering a number of courses of action, both in India and internationally," but it didn't give details.

FDA granted 510(k) clearance for Roche's cobas® CT/NG Test for detecting Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) infections in both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients using male urine samples and self-collected vaginal swabs. The test was granted a CE mark in 2009.
The cobas CT/NG Test is a PCR-based multiplex dual probe assay run on Roche's automated cobas 4800 system, and will complement the firm's FDA approved cobas HPV test. 510(k) approval for the CT/NG assay was based on clinical trial data demonstrating that the male urine and female swab samples provide for increased sensitivity and specificity compared with alternative specimen types, across patient populations with both low and high disease prevalences.
Roche points out that a summary report from the U.S. Association of Public Health Laboratories and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention concluded male urine and self-collected vaginal swabs are the preferred specimen types for CT and NG testing, as they show high sensitivity and are less invasive and less painful to collect than urethral or endocervical samples that can impact screening compliance. The firm is separately developing additional microbiology and oncology tests for the cobas 4800 system.

Outfit got attention. Only one size is order-able, I wouldn't say the stag at all but it was too big for him. Was baggy on the bum and required him to keep playing with his breasts and straps.

U.S. Technology Stocks Rise as Caterpillar Weighs on Dow Average
U.S. technology stocks rallied on improving earnings, sending the Nasdaq-100 Index to a 10-year high and extending a weekly gain for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, while lower-than-estimated results at Caterpillar Inc. dragged the Dow Jones Industrial Average lower.
Advanced Micro Devices Inc. rose 19 percent, the most since November 2009, after the chipmaker forecast more sales than analysts estimated. Technology stocks in the S&P 500 gained 1.2 percent, the most among 10 industries. Caterpillar slid 5.8 percent as profit trailed projections because of Japan's record earthquake and slower demand from China. C.R. Bard Inc. declined 12 percent, the biggest loss in the S&P 500, after sales missed projections.
The S&P 500 rose 0.1 percent to 1,345.02 at 4 p.m. in New York and gained 2.2 percent this week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 43.25 points, or 0.3 percent, to 12,681.16. Gains in technology stocks pushed the Nasdaq-100 Index up 1.1 percent to the highest level since February 2001.
"You're seeing fast money gravitate to the large-cap tech names, viewing them as better able to withstand slower economic growth," said Mark Bronzo, who helps manage $26 billion at Security Global Investors in Irvington, New York in a telephone interview. "There are a couple stocks weighing on the Dow where the earnings came out a little less than expected but overall, earnings have been pretty good."
Aid for Greece
Stocks surged yesterday after euro-area leaders eased the terms of loans for cash-strapped nations and announced the latest aid for Greece after eight hours of talks yesterday. Officials empowered their 440-billion euro ($635 billion) rescue fund to buy debt across stressed nations, helping to erect a firewall around Spain and Italy even as they risked temporary default to lighten the Greek debt burden.
"Policy makers have made an important step," Jeffrey Palma, global equity strategist at UBS AG, said in an interview on Bloomberg Television's "In the Loop." "Is this the be-all, end-all package? No, and I think we need to be concerned still that there are medium-term challenges, but I do think it eliminates some of those tail risks."
The S&P 500 has declined 1.4 percent from an almost three-year high in April amid speculation that the sovereign debt crisis in Europe is spreading and concern that U.S. lawmakers will fail to reach a deal on raising the nation's debt limit before the Aug. 2 deadline.
Quarterly reports from corporations have helped boost U.S. stocks this week. Among 122 S&P 500 companies that have reported earnings since July 11, 83 percent exceeded the average analyst estimate, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Chipmakers Rise
Technology companies rallied, with semiconductor makers rising 1.6 percent for the biggest S&P 500 gain among 24 industries. AMD jumped 19 percent to $7.75, the largest gain in the index. The second-largest producer of processors for personal computers forecast third-quarter sales that exceeded analysts' estimates, citing new chip orders.
SanDisk Corp. added 9.6 percent to $45.57 as the maker of flash-memory cards also reported per-share earnings for the second quarter that topped estimates.
Caterpillar, which accounted for the second-biggest proportion of the Dow at the start of trading, fell 5.8 percent to $105.15. The world's largest maker of construction and mining equipment posted profit, excluding $204 million in costs related to the acquisition of Bucyrus International Inc., of $1.72 a share, trailing the $1.75 average of 20 analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
'A Bellwether'
"Caterpillar's clearly a bellwether," said Robert Carey, chief investment officer at First Trust Portfolios LP, in a telephone interview. The Wheaton, Illinois-based firm oversees about $50 billion. "Given the overwhelming number of companies that have beat estimates, anybody that comes up short is not going to be treated well."
C.R. Bard declined 12 percent, the most since March 1993, to $99.58. The maker of medical devices such as catheters and drains forecast third-quarter adjusted earnings of no more than $1.61 a share, less than the average estimate of $1.62 a share by 20 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
McDonald's Corp. jumped 2.3 percent, the biggest gain in the Dow, to $88.56. The world's largest restaurant chain said second-quarter profit rose 15 percent, topping analysts' estimates, as more consumers dined out and McCafe beverages boosted sales.
Skyworks, AMD
Skyworks Solutions Inc. jumped 19 percent, the second-biggest gain in the Russell 1000 Index behind AMD, to $26.98. The wireless semiconductor company forecast fourth-quarter revenue of $400 million, beating the average analyst estimate of $371.3 million.
Industrial shares declined 1 percent collectively, the worst performance out of 10 groups in the S&P 500. Telecommunication companies erased 0.5 percent, led by Verizon Communications Inc.
Verizon Wireless, the wireless carrier that's co-owned by Verizon and Vodafone Group Plc, said today it activated 2.3 million Apple Inc. iPhones in the second quarter, trailing AT&T Inc.'s 3.6 million devices in the period. Verizon shares fell 2.2 percent to $36.74.

I'm a software engineer, currently working in iOS Development for a small 'startup' company in the Atlanta area. I originally discovered StackOverflow while looking for help for a couple issues and from there I've expanded to several of the StackExchange site.
I like to help people out whenever I can - so I try to answer any questions I see that I'm fairly certain I know. This has led me to mainly sticking around the Stack Overflow, English Language & Usage, and English Language Learners sites.

I could order a modchip, but I just want one to repair my soon to be Xbox and then Mabye remove the cheap chip then softmod it. Oh and the mod chip has got to be easy to install, not solderless.

Although this set might seem inferior to the status orb set, it has a couple advantages in stronger coverage moves and lack of recoil. While it is true that its STAB attacks are not boosted by Sheer Force and thus cause Life Orb damage, Drain Punch actually heals said damage; Mach Punch will be used sparingly. The presence of Team Preview also helps, discouraging the opponent from using status inflicting moves, such as Toxic and Scald; however, Conkeldurr shouldn't be switching into those moves regardless. This version of Conkeldurr specializes in wallbreaking and can function as an excellent partner for or beneficiary of Trick Room teams. Stall teams will usually have trouble when facing Conkeldurr, especially if it is paired with Reuniclus.

Drain Punch is this set's primary attack, being backed by STAB and a Life Orb boost while recovering its HP. However, you must be wary that using it may give away that Conkeldurr is not running Guts. ThunderPunch and Ice Punch are Conkeldurr's coverage moves; the former is particularly useful against bulky Water-types, such as Jellicent, while Ice Punch is handy versus bulky Ground- and Grass-types—most Hippowdon and Landorus-T (after Intimidate) are 2HKOed after Stealth Rock. Mach Punch is used to chip off the last portion of the foe's health without having to take a hit. It also comes in handy when facing Pokemon such as Kyurem-B, Tyranitar, and Weavile. Fire Punch is an alternative to defeat Jirachi, Scizor, Ferrothorn, Forretress, and Metagross much more easily; for this it is the best option on Trick Room teams.
 [ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
20 Speed EVs are used to outpace Hippowdon so that Conkeldurr can 2HKO it before it can use Slack Off. Reuniclus and Tyranitar pair up great with Conkeldurr as well; Tyranitar can remove many of Conkeldurr's checks, such as Gengar and Latias, while Reuniclus can set up Trick Room and has good synergy with Conkeldurr. Note that 0 IVs and a Brave nature should be used if there is Trick Room support and that Hammer Arm is a great option if Conkeldurr is used on a Trick Room team to outspeed more enemies. This set is slow like the others, so Pokemon that can eliminate faster threats are good teammates. Conkeldurr struggles to defeat Pokemon such as Skarmory, who can retaliate with Brave Bird, so it is ideal to have a Pokemon that can remove these counters. Infernape is a decent choice for this, as it can hit hard both physically and specially, as are Choice Scarf Terrakion and Keldeo. Conkeldurr has poor special bulk, so Chansey and Blissey are good teammates; they can also pass Wishes to Conkeldurr, which will increase its longevity.

Rock Slide can be used, but it has less useful coverage than ThunderPunch and Ice Punch; if you choose to run Rock-type coverage, be sure to run it over Stone Edge, as the power difference is negligible factoring in Sheer Force and is not worth a 10% drop in accuracy. Iron Fist is an interesting alternative ability for this set because it boosts all of Conkeldurr's attacks, but it causes Conkeldurr to suffer from recoil. Spikes support is almost need if you run Iron Fist because it allows Conkeldurr to nab crucial OHKOs on Pokemon such as Jellicent, Celebi, Politoed, and non-physically defensive Hippowdon.

How can I improve my vocabulary?
I am in my 40's and college educated. I've always been told that my language skills are impeccable, but I feel like there's room for improvement. For example, I recently read an article that contained the words "milieu" and "métier," and had to look them up. [more inside]
Sastrugi: ridges of snow formed on a snowfield by the action of the wind
With the recent news that nature words are being removed from children's dictionaries, I'm looking for many more nature words and their definitions to add to my lexicon. Books, blog posts, whatever, I'll take them all. The more obscure and localised the better. (Title taken from here).
Seeking secular language for powerful experience
This year someone very close to me was hurt very badly and then, to my great shock and relief, he recovered fully. I'm still processing this experience and probably always will be. I'm frustrated that the words that I have to best describe what he went through are often religious. I don't believe in god and neither does the person who was injured. I did not think that he would ever be the same again. The fact that he is is "miraculous," to be with him now is "a blessing" -- but it's not. The best-fit way I know to phrase it is "it's a miracle of modern science!" I'd appreciate help finding a truly secular vocabulary that captures the power of what he (and I) went through. [more inside]
Is there a general term for phrases like "landline phone"?
I could swear that I have seen this on AskMe before, but I can't find it for the life of me. Is there a word for the situation in which something that used to be representable by a single word now needs two (or more) words? Like how "telephone" now sometimes has to be retroactively qualified as "landline phone" because of the advent of "mobile phones." "Analog watch" would be another example, I guess.
Excel: Is it possible to sort by an arbitrary list?
I have a list of 625 English words, translations in a bunch of languages, and what-not in a giant excel file. We'll call that excel file "the Data." The Data is in alphabetical order. I also have a separate list of those same English words in a different order. Is there a way to sort the Data so that it's in the same order as my new, non-alphabetical list? [more inside]
Examples of background clues from vocabulary and/or usage?
When someone says head or latrine for bathroom its likely that they were in the military or around the military. A less common example,when someone says "avoid the near occasion" about something its likely that they are from a Roman Catholic background, I'd even say its use indicates a likelihood that they are or were a priest, seminarian, religious, in a kind of serious catholic family or school etc. Reckon is a common word and its being used once doesn't mean anything but when its use is pretty frequent it might be indicative of someone's having lived in the south east United States. When people say pop instead of soda or coke they likely are from somewhere roughly between Chicago and Denver, Oklahoma and North Dakota. Things like this interest me and I'm sure I know only a infinitesimal fraction of a percent of them. Do you have any like observations to share? [more inside]

Somewhere I read that there was a specific word in some language to describe the feeling of restraining overwhelming affection because the urge to hug and squeeze with all one's might could actually harm the subject, e.g. puppies, infants, petite girlfriends.

What word am I thinking of? There's a word that means something like, "an object that compels you to want to eat or lick it, even though the object is in fact not edible or meant to be licked".

Essay - Short Story Analysis the House on Mango Street is a...
Short Story Analysis
***** House on Mango Street is a brief ********** apparently very simple story, told in the ********** voice of a school-girl who describes the house in which she and her family have recently moved. However, beneath its simple surface the story hides very important meanings about identity and society, and the way in ***** the self relates to the outer world. The text has no plot and it is, at first sight, merely a little girl's na ve report ***** ***** basic facts ***** her life as she understands it, of her family and her house especially, but, precisely because ***** its form and the po*****t of view used, that it manages to get the message through even better.
First ***** all, ***** school girl ***** the new house on Mango ***** which will be ***** new residence for *****self and her rather numerous *****, made up of six people. As she in*****ms us, the new house is ***** first ***** the family has really owned, after having moved around for a long time from one rented place to a*****ther. She talks about the old, dilapidated buildings in ***** her family lived *************** ***** ***** the new house, which, although their own, is again a d*****appointment. This is how far the ***** goes in relating the ***** of the *****'s life. The main character is of course the ***** story teller, and the tone and style are appropriate for ***** age of the narrator: ***** text is made ***** of short sentences that a child would use. The setting and the theme can be taken together, since the ***** ho***** and the older houses are the main issues around which the story revolves. It is prec*****ely through *****se elements ***** the wr*****er actually conveys her meaning, especially since ***** message could not have been directly decoded in the text by the ***** narrator: the story of the old rented houses and the new, finally owned but still unsatisfactory house becomes relevant when we look at it ***** the eyes of a child who begins to be aware of the ***** ***** her. We discover thus the girl's own world and reality ***** the same time that she does: the ramshackle houses speak of ***** poverty of her family, and consequently of ***** place in society. The central theme ***** the ***** is there*****e identity or self- awareness in the social *****, and more specifically, ***** interplay bet*****en the personal and the public space, or ***** ***** occupied by the others which is indicated in the s*****ry through ***** opposition between the rented and the possessed *****.
The story starts out in a simple way, by stat*****g that the family hasn't always resided on Mango Street and the girl enumerates ***** places ***** remembers having lived in:
We didn't ***** live on Mango Street. Before ***** we ***** ***** Loomis on the third floor, and before that we lived on Keeler. Before that it was Paulina, and before

NINE MILE, Jamaica (September 10, 2013)--In the land of "purple kush" and "pineapple skunk," some Jamaican pot growers are offering tourists a chance to visit the fields and sample the crop.
But there's a big catch.
Both the ganja and the tours are illegal.
Some in Jamaica favor reform of local marijuana laws.
Justice Minister Mark Golding told The Associated Press the legal status of marijuana is "dynamic and evolving quickly."
Legal or not, one grower, who calls himself Breezy, says the tourists love the tours.

Arm and Back Toners
To get the most out of an upper-body toning workout, perform exercises that work multiple muscle groups, says Pete McCall, MS, CSCS, exercise physiologist and spokesman for the American Council on Exercise.
"Pull-ups [a.k.a. chin-ups], for example, work the back, forearms and biceps," McCall says. If you're not strong enough to lift your own body weight, substitute seated pulldowns or seated rows, which work the same muscles. Here's how:
- Seated Pulldown: Attach tubing to upper part of a door hinge. Sit tall on a stability ball or bench and grasp tubing handles. Keep feet flat on the floor and chest high as you pull elbows down and back, squeezing shoulder blades together. Pause and slowly return to starting position.
Seated Row (works the back and biceps): Attach exercise tubing to a door hinge and sit tall on a bench or exercise ball, grasping handles in each hand, palms facing up. Keep chest high and shoulders down (avoid shrugging) as you pull the handles towards you (tubing should be at chest height). Pause when hands reach the sides of your chest, pause and slowly return to starting position. Keep palms facing up to work the biceps; palms down strengthens forearms.
- Plank-Ups (works the core, shoulders, chest, and triceps): If you're familiar with planks, a popular core exercise, McCall suggests adding this challenging version to your workout routine three times a week. Lie face-down on the floor and support yourself on forearms and the balls of your feet, legs straight. Keep abdominals braced and back flat. "Walk" up onto one hand and then the other, so you end up in a push-up position. Walk back down onto your forearms. Keep your body stable and avoid rocking side to side. Start with three to four reps and work your way up to 10 or so.
To firm up the backs of your arms, McCall recommends this exercise:
- Chair Dips (works the triceps): Sit on the edge of a chair or stable bench with hands on either side of your hips, palms facing away from you grasping the edge of the bench. Shimmy off the edge of the bench, feet flat and knees at a right angle, and lower your hips towards the floor until upper arms are parallel to the floor. Push back up -- using your hands, not legs -- and repeat.

Still Life with Elephant (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
The way to a cheating man's heart is through . . . an elephant?
Professional horse trainer Neelie Sterling somehow missed the fact that her veterinarian husband, Matt, was having an affair with his blonde, pretty business partner. Neelie often misses things. (When Matt originally told her he was getting a colleague to help with the practice, she thought he said collie--and Neelie likes dogs.) Now the blonde is saying she's pregnant, and Neelie's life is in a tailspin. But she sees an opportunity to patch up the holes in her disintegrating marriage when she learns that Matt is leaving for Zimbabwe to rescue a badly injured elephant. Foolishly optimistic, she joins the expedition.
On a dangerous, revealing, exhilarating trip through Africa, Neelie comes to learn a lot about herself as a woman and a wife. But it isn't until they return home with their pachyderm patient that her eyes are truly opened to what is going on around her. And with the help of a very large and very special animal, she may even discover how to love again.
About the Author
Judy Reene Singer is a dressage competitor, horse trainer, and all-around animal lover. She has written about the equestrian world for more than a decade and was named top feature writer of the year by The Chronicle of the Horse. She is the author of Horseplay and Still Life with Elephant.

7. Diet-Demolishing Drinks
The real problem with high-calorie drinks is that they go down easily, and don't tend to fill you up.
"Coffee drinks and smoothies don't set off bells and whistles to alert you to the calorie load," says Hurley. "Starbucks' white chocolate mocha is a Quarter-Pounder in a cup; any Frappuccino Blended Creme has 490-580 calories; and a venti Java Chip Frappuccino has the equivalent of 11 creamers and 20 packets of sugar.
To reduce the calories in your favorite coffee drink, order a small size, make it "skinny" (with low fat milk), and skip the whipped cream.
8. Mammoth Mall Munchies
Most people know when they order a gigantic burger that it is not good for them. But what really scares Hurley are the not-so-obviously fattening foods that people snack on at the mall.
"The highly aromatic cinnamon used in a Cinnabon (810 calories) or the smell of Mrs. Field's milk chocolate macadamia cookie (320 calories) tempts mall goers into thinking nothing of eating a snack that has half a day's calories or fat," she says.
Bring along a 100-calorie pack of crackers, some trail mix, or raw veggies to help you resist the tantalizing aromas of such high-calorie mall treats.
9. Dining-Out Diet Disasters
"Fifteen years ago, when I first started evaluating restaurant food, I was blown away by the 1,500 calories in a serving of Fettuccine Alfredo, but the trend has gotten worse, not better," says Hurley.
Fried macaroni and cheese and cheese fries were other nominees in the category of frightening foods found on restaurant menus.
10. Stupendous Servings
It's not just fast-food meals that have been super-sized in the last couple of decades.
"Muffins, bagels, salads, sandwiches, pasta servings -- almost everything is much larger today than it used to be or needs to be," says Hurley. "You can expect most restaurant appetizers, entrees, and desserts to each weigh in around 1,000 calories."
Here's a sure-fire way to start your day off on the wrong dietary foot: the enormous omelet sandwich at Burger King. This fork-free meal is loaded with two slices of cheese, three slices of bacon, two eggs, and a sausage patty on a giant bun, totaling 730 calories and 47 g fat.

Since Feb 21, They havent made new nightly so they released a new one today. =)
Since Feb 21, They havent made new nightly so they released a new one today. =)
And if you use these, and they break your site, you politely mail the devs with details, restore your backup and work with the official 1.5 release again.
What you DO NOT DO is post about it here.
You will get virtually NO SUPPORT for these builds.
Podz, Im using a nightly build right now and I got no problems. Yeh, Ill backup and upgrade now.
Keep in mind that when using a nightly you are no longer a user, you are a tester. Calmly report bugs to the bug tracker. Discussion of nightly builds should go on the to-be-announced mailing list for testers. Testers should be following the changelog and commit timeline to know what they are getting into with each download. The nightly build download page will be updated with this information.
We appreciate those who test our nightly builds. You are a critical part of the success of WordPress and all open source software. However, the support forums are geared toward support of stable releases. So, let's move the beta test conversation to a mailing list. Watch for an announcement.
Join wp-testers.
Updated information here:
Thank you both :)
I want the t-shirt!
"I downloaded a nightly and still have all ten fingers." Something like that? ;-)
Does this mean we say "bye-bye" to the Beta Discussion forum here?
I don't see why. I'd say there's a distinct difference between using a nightly and posting here something like:
"Using .1alpha etc. -- When doing Blah it appears Blah doesn't work anymore."
As opposed to:
"Using .1alpha etc. -- I need help doing Blah!"
Yes the beta forum is going away.
That's what the testers' list is for. Maybe I'm not understanding your point, but Ryan stated that the support forums are going to be for stable release help only.
And now a dev blog post from Carthik :)
Just giving my opinion, NM. We all have 'em.
Hmmm...just to clarify what is the beta discussion forum for? Are nightlies considered beta or alpha? will you be removing beta discussion?
I realise that, bud. I hope I didn't come off sounding like an asshat. I was just trying to understand your point. Given the excellent help and advice you give on the support forum, I was/am genuinely interested in what you were trying to get across.
Alpha is a very-early stage of development. A beta version is further along the development cycle than alpha, but is still unstable. "Beta Discussion" pretty much covered any build that was not the official stable version.
I think my point (in as much as I actually had one) was that using the Beta forum to report problems in regards to bugs and whatnot is quite different than expecting the kind of help one gets with the released versions. My reply was somewhat in relation to the posts of podz and ryan, and perhaps more convoluted than I intended.
The point, however, is quite moot.
As for coming across as an asshat, sometimes that's useful. But trust me, you didn't.
NM, I understand the difference between alpha and beta, I was jsut trying to understand at what point is a nightly build a beta release, if it even is a beta release, or are all nighlty builds regarded as alpha?
1.5 nighty release were considered beta and therefore were available for support, right? So what makes these nightlies different to say pre 1.5 final releases?
I'm really just looking for a logical distinction between what will get support and what will not get support, as I may run a copy jut for interest.

I'm looking for a good program to show me the differences between two similar pdf files. In particular, I'm looking for something that doesn't just run diff on an ascii version (with "pdftotext") of the files. This is what pdfdiff.py does.
You can use DiffPDF for this. From the description:
I just figured out a hack to make DiffPDF (the program suggested by @qbi) usable for more than minor changes. What I do is concatenate all pages pdfs into a long scroll using pdfjam and then compare the scrolls. It works even when large sections are removed or inserted!
Here is a bash script that does the job:
If you have 2-3 huge pdf (or epub or other formats, read below) files to compare , then it is possible to combine the power of:
Below script accept as input any of the following file formats: MOBI, LIT, PRC, EPUB, ODT, HTML, CBR, CBZ, RTF, TXT, PDF and LRS.
If not installed, then install meld, calibre and parallel:
To be able to execute the code from anywhere in your computer, save following code in a file named "diffepub" (with no extensions) inside directory "/usr/local/bin".
Make sure the owner is your user and it has execution permissions:
To test it, just type:
I test it to compare 2 revisions of a +1600 pages pdf and it works perfect. Because calibre is written using python for portability, it took 10 minutes to convert both files to text. Slow, but reliable.

BarbralooMiami, FLAge: 35-44Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Wonderful for teenage girlsJune 21, 2012BarbralooMiami, FLAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 3Value: 4Meets Expectations: 3Wonderfully outlines how we are princesses and how we are to live out life as Christians. Doing the study with 16 yr old daughter. Love the length of each day, and have really enjoyed it so far. My only "complaint" is that there was an error in a scripture that stated 1 Cor and it was actually 2 Cor and a couple of grammatical errors. They are easy to get past and the study is excellent - especially for a teenage girl.
Cheryl5 Stars Out Of 5May 9, 2008CherylI love this Bible Study! It is not only for college age students...it is for women of all ages! Jennifer does an excellent job of getting to the heart of the matter and helping you to see that being "Royal by Blood" is God's intention for us...we just need to live it! I highly recommend this book and am already looking forward to Jennifer's second book!

Author/Artist Review
Located in: Broken Arrow, OK
Submitted: May 08, 2008
Tell us a little about yourself. Jennifer was called into the ministry as a senior in high school but did not discover her ministry until 17 years later when God called her to write. She is a stay-at-home mom of 3 beautiful princess daughters. She is also the wife of a student pastor. She mentors high school/college girls from her church and loves one-on-one time with each. She speaks to women of all ages in churches and at conferences. She desires to live out the abundant life God has called her to and desires for others to do the same.
What was your motivation behind this project? My motivation came from a purity retreat our church did for middle school/high school girls. I came away from the retreat knowing there was so much more I wanted the girls to know. The Lord challenged me to write a Bible study about our identity in Christ as believers.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? I hope that the readers will gain a confidence in the Lord in their life that transcends all their relationships. I pray that they will know how to think, react, behave, and belief as a true princess of the King.
How were you personally impacted by working on this project? I was profoundly impacted by this project. God broke my heart for the young ladies who would read the sweet words of Jesus over their broken hearts. God blessed me with His divine presence each day I wrote.
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? My influencer and favorite author is Beth Moore. She gave me the permission to live radically for my King. I do not know Beth personally, but caught her contagious love for God by participating in her Bible studies.
Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: I would love to be a part of your church's girl's/women's ministry.

Plants in the Wild
Going Gazaniac
Now that it's been established that I can't tell an annual gazania from a tuberous dahlia, I'd like to introduce you to a straight species gazania — unadulterated by hybridizing — as she once appeared to me in her native South Africa.
On my honor, here's an untouched pix of the South African native, Gazania rigida. Like many native gazanias, she's a perennial in the daisy family, and smolders like coal as she sprawls across the landscape.
On this particular trip to the western Cape in September 2002, the plants stretched every which way along roadsides and across fields. I fondly recall a group of us even botanizing in acres of garbage.
I only bring this long ago but oh! so! delicious! trip to your attention because I'm just back from hiking in New Mexico's Jemez Mountains, where I saw wildflower displays reminiscent of South Africa's western Cape.
Not the same brilliant colors, of course, and certainly not the same flabbergasting array of species; I'm talking 'bout the sheer acreage of bloom. At one point my friend Bill and I were standing in a flowering field of soft violet Erigeron divergens at least 200 ft long and 100 ft wide!

I love the plant but it does not love me. Thanks for letting me enjoy the plant through your eyes from Africa and Mexico. While you are traveling you should read a fictional creatively humorous book called "Diary of a Wannabe Gardener." You will find it entertaining and inspirational. Preview the book at www.bbotw.com Enjoy nature and enjoy life. Happy trails to you.
What a coincidence, Dorothy. Did you notice that the author of that book has a name identical to yours? ;-}
Incidentally...Iif anyone's interested in acquiring seed of the perennial gazania featured here, check out this South African seed source:
You'll find it listed as G. krebsiana 'Orange'. Enjoy.
I am going to Cape Town in 2 weeks - what seasons were they in bloom ? would I be likely to see them now - I suppose not since this is early Spring in the southern hemiphere
Spring is precisely when you want to go, Susan. Flower display will be completely dependent on how the weather's been. For best places to see flowers (this is all outside Cape Town, of course, not in the city), check out locations and links at my website posting, http://www.npr.org/programs/talkingplants/features/2002/southafrica/index.html
Ketzel-what's that purple passion flower with the squiggly lines? I love it, I want it!

There's nothing Katja Kassin enjoys more than a three-way. She has a lot of fun with several young boys in this video. She finds a few people wiling to fuck that bat cave. Katja Kassin sure has a great time getting fucked. Boy, she sure loves getting together with a group of friends to have sexy sleepovers!
