I did the rough sketch a few month before. Image is still unfinished but today I decide to shape it up a little. Now it is ready for pain, but I'll see when there would be a proper time to do that.
Very cool!!
Your shading is amazing.

I am still curious as to how you make your flat brush...

I really like this rough and very sketchy style. It has a very good dark mood. But maybe a more bluish tone and some red blood splashs would increase the mood even more.

In a study looking at changes in male genitalia over the past 50 years, Italian researchers found that penises were around 10 percent smaller today. The proposed explanations were reasonable: weight gain, pollution, stress and smoking; the researchers said, could be to blame.
Rush Limbaugh's explanation? Feminism. The conservative radio host blamed it on women, saying — "It has to be the feminazis, the chickification and everything else."
Ah yes, "the chickification." And the "everything else."
"Feminazi" has become a favorite term of Limbaugh's — he used it in his now infamous tirade against Georgetown Law student and feminist activist Sandra Fluke. "So, Ms. Fluke and the rest of you feminazis, here's the deal," he said earlier this year. "If we are going to pay for your contraceptives, and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something for it, and I'll tell you what it is. We want you to post the videos online so we can all watch."

Thanks zvbxrpl, damn, should've got one whilst over in Boston last month. The Tiny laptop im using has lasted, mainly because it isnt really portable, so hasnt suffered any knocks. Its on AC only as it has a dead battery. Yep, i too have no ethernet port, had to get a USB belkin adaptor for CAT5.
I will have a scout around on Laptops. Main requirements, memory (2GB+), GPU (Quake3Arena, GTA3SA) and hard disk (40GB+ MP3).

Everyone is entirely familiar with the Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL)/Samsung (OTC:SSNLF) travails, and how Apple accuses Samsung of copying its trade dress wholesale. But there are other obvious instances of this practice flying under the radar, and hitting other companies. Such is the case with Nokia (NYSE:NOK).
Nokia has enough troubles as it is. The huge transition from Symbian to Windows Phone, the huge loss of smartphone market share and the still-doubtful success of its new strategy would be enough to keep its hands full. To face these challenges, Nokia has its long experience in the mobile market and significant technical and design competence. The result of this competence was in display when Nokia introduced the Lumia line of smartphones, starting with the Lumia 800 and later, the 900. These devices introduced an unmistakably innovative design language, as seen below with the Lumia 800.
Nokia has for the most part kept on with that design language in its new iteration of Windows Phone 8 smartphones, for instance with the Lumia 920, as pictured below.
So what happened next?
As Windows Phone 8 hit the market, Nokia was by far the most successful of the Windows Phone suppliers, with nearly 60% of the Windows Phone market.
Maybe its designs were taken to mean "Windows Phone," and what followed was this: HTC also launched a Windows Phone 8 device, the HTC 8X. How did that phone look like? It looked like this:
But it didn't stop here
Today, we get wind not of a further Windows Phone 8 device, but instead of a new Android phone by Lenovo. This phone not only looks like pictured below, but it also goes further. It's rumored that the phone models will be S820 and S920. The precise same numbering as the Nokias (Source: Engadget).
It would seem that Lenovo thought the design was original and it could capitalize on such design by selling it into the Android market, where Nokia isn't present. Sure, it's flattering to be copied so extensively, but one really has to wonder if Nokia will sit tight through all of this.
Unless Nokia is not protecting its designs, it would seem high time that lawsuits should start flying. On the surface one would say that Nokia's design was even more distinctive than the iPhone's at launch, and yet the copies being thrown around by HTC and Lenovo seem much more blatant than Samsung's ever were.
If Nokia fails to protect its uniqueness that's being challenged here, its mission in regaining its footing in the smartphone market will turn out to be even harder. So in short, one would hope that Nokia will, indeed, launch a couple of lawsuits over this, soon.

This paper presents the analyzed results of both dynamic simulations and steady-state performance of a tidal power generation system (TPGS) containing a permanent-magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) driven by a tidal turbine through a gearbox. The stator windings of the tidal PMSG are connected to an onshore distribution system through an ac-to-dc converter, a dc-to-ac inverter, a step-up transformer, and a transmission cable. A d-q axis equivalent-circuit model is employed to establish complete dynamic equations of the studied system under three phase balanced loading conditions. A frequency-domain approach based on eigenvalue analysis and a time-domain scheme based on nonlinear-model simulations are both carried out to systematically determine the dynamic stability of the studied system under different operating conditions. It can be concluded from the simulation results that the studied TPGS subject to different disturbance conditions can maintain stable operation.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Oct 01st, 1990
Running Time: 88
Director: Lawrence David
Company: In Hand Video
Cast: Mistress Jacqueline, Rick Lee, Karen Dior, Jimmy Pike, Aaron Scott, Sharon Kane, Andrew Michaels, Storm (I)
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Specialty
Nice box cover.
Plots involving troubled relationships seem to provide the best uncontrived framework for she-male video features. The idea of sex experimentation outside of the relationship seems to naturally call for experiments in gender as well. But when faced with filling a full-length feature, it is the rare director who can successfully weave together the required number of varied sex scenes. Lawrence David was not fully up to this singular challenge with this otherwise excellent video.
This is not to say that David is a rank amateur. On the contrary. The video is full of imagination and erotic images. Perhaps the most memorable is the costume made of plastic food wrap and the ensuing use of various food products as sex aids. We should also credit David's directing with the fine performance rendered by Karen Dior, formerly Karin of L.A. Video and Bizarre fame.
By all measures – cast, camerawork, editing, sound, and even the innovative "surprise" packaging – Painted would rank at the very top. It is only the breakdown of the otherwise strong storyline that is a problem. The inclusion of a mysterious gay sex scene prompts the viewer to ask, "wait a minute; who are these guys and why are they here?" Their presence is never explained, and that question nags for the rest of the feature. Put this out of your mind, and you will have a totally enjoyable 88 minutes. Definitely for stores who carry the offbeat genres.

House Republican Bill Would Fast-Track Tax Cuts For The Wealthy And Corporations
House Republicans next week intend to vote on a plan that would both extend all of the Bush tax cuts — including those on income in excess of $250,000 — and fast-track "tax reform." If the House GOP bill were adopted, tax reform legislation would "have special protections in the U.S. Senate, limiting the opportunities for lawmakers to use blocking tactics."
But the GOP bill only calls for a certain kind of tax reform — specifically that which would benefit the rich and corporations. Under the GOP's fast-track approach, a tax reform bill would have to consist of:
(1) a consolidation of the current 6 individual income tax brackets into not more than two brackets of 10 and not more than 25 percent;
(2) a reduction in the corporate tax rate to not greater than 25 percent;
(3) a repeal of the Alternative Minimum Tax;
(4) a broadening of the tax base to maintain revenue between 18 and 19 percent of the economy; and
(5) a change from a ''worldwide'' to a ''territorial'' system of taxation.
As Citizens for Tax Justice noted, these changes would massively benefit the wealthy and corporations, shifting the tax burden down the income scale. In fact, consolidation of the tax code in the way the GOP envisions would give millionaires a $187,000 annual tax cut, while likely increasing taxes on the middle-class and working families, due to the elimination of deductions upon which they depend.
Changing to a "territorial" system of corporate taxation, meanwhile, would boost the incentive to invest overseas and push jobs offshore. These are the sort of changes which Republicans want to protect from procedural shenanigans, even as they drive the use of the filibuster to unprecedented heights, including on legislation that could boost the sluggish economic recovery.

We just picked up our new 2016 Spree 262RKS on Saturday Oct 3, 2015. Like the whole sales/purchase process at Gauthiers', we were treated warmly and given a thorough orientation in the systems of our new baby. As is not uncommon, a small number of minor factory issues were discovered which were dealt with immediately and corrected before we left. Hard to beat that kind of service. As for the purchase process, our main contacts were with either Jim or Jonathan Gauthier. Both were very patient, low pressure, and very helpful with advice in order to insure we had a good match of tow vehicle and trailer. When it came down to final decisions, our wants and needs concerning options etc. were put ahead of any sales consideration. I always felt like my best interests were foremost in the minds of Gauthiers' RV. I can foresee a good future of many years of a friendly customer/dealer relationship.

Absolutely satisfied with camper, salesperson, & warranty repair. Had a small issue after we purchased the camper & service department was so helpful and went above and beyond to resolve our issue. I think service manager [Mike] was very helpful. Also a Gauthier (can't remember his name but he was in service) very very helpful. Salesperson Gordon was the best ever and really, really helped us and was very honest and straightforward and that's what we were looking for. Definitely satisfied and we have already recommended people to go see y'all.

Michael & Shelley G.
2014 Cedar Creek Silverback
This RV dealership is outstanding in every department. We purchased a small travel trailer earlier this year after meeting with the sales people at an RV show. Once we were hooked on camping, we decided to purchase a larger unit. We bought a Cruiser Viewfinder V24SD and absolutely love it. It is the perfect size for us, has some great features and is light enough to pull easily with a Chevrolet Silverado. We had one issue with the refrigerator that stopped cooling. We took the trailer into the service department and within 30 minutes they had diagnosed the problem, fixed it and we were on our way home. After sales service doesn't get better that that! All the staff are very friendly and know their products. The sales people are low pressure and they allow you to browse. Unlike other RV dealers, they listen to what your needs are and find something that will suit your needs. When we picked up the new unit, they went over every feature and made sure we fully understood how everything worked. I cannot say enough good things about this dealership. They have obviously worked hard over the years to build their reputation and provide outstanding service to their customers. They all have such a friendly attitude and always want to do the right thing. If you are in the market for an RV, you will not find a better dealership than this one.
I searched a lot of different dealers before choosing Gauthiers. Glad I did. Very friendly and they know their campers.
Everyone at your dealership was very friendly and helpful will tell others about you. Thank you for a pleasant visit.
This is the only place we shopped for our RV; didn't feel the need to go anywhere else. The salesman, Derek Lemaire, was very sweet, helpful & is a very knowledgeable salesperson. We were very amazed with the 2 hr course to learn to operate the RV; we left there feeling a lot more comfortable going out on our 1st trip! We love it & wouldn't change a thing about it! Everyone is very courteous & the location is very convenient. We did have to return the RV for a minor problem & they were very prompt with repairing it & we are very satisfied! The parts store has great prices & the 2 salesmen are very helpful & courteous. We are Very Satisfied with our RV & tremendously enjoying it. So glad we bought with Gauthiers'; we would recommend y'all to anyone thinking of purchasing an RV. Thank y'all so much for everything!
I live in Scott where Gauthiers' is located and made it my first and last place to shop. Everyone is very nice and helpful when you are at Gauthiers'. We told them what features we were looking for in a camper and they took us right to it. We baught a 2013 Palamino Columbus and have enjoyed every minute in it. Thanks Gauthiers, Keep up the great work.
Gauthiers' RV is atypical. Great sales, great units, great people. My new Cedar Creek 36CKTS, has been awesome. A high quality unit from a high quality dealer. I shopped for 4 months before deciding on a unit and dealer. I clearly made a great choice.
Cedar Creek - 36CKTS
I've scheduled 2 appointments for service work. The work, time allotted, and actual time of work were exceptional. The knowledge and work ethics of the advisers and technicians were commendable. Twice I've stopped on trips to have emergency work done. In all my visits I was treated with courtesy and respect.
My wife and I found a great deal on 5th wheel online at Gauthiers'. We were a little nervous since we had to drive 7 hours to get there, but Patrick ensured us it was a very good deal. When we arrived, the entire Gauthiers' staff made us feel at home. They got us in and went over the trailer, looked over my self-installed hitch to ensure it was safe and got me back on the road in no time. The Gauthiers' customer service is top notch and a role model for all other businesses. Thanks to Patrick, John, Trish and to the entire Gauthiers staff for such a pleasant experience.
Best large purchasing experience ever. Entire staff followed through on every promise! Honesty and execution defined!!!!!

What You'll Learn
· You will identify the basic concepts of genetics.
· You will examine the process of meiosis.
Mendel's Laws of Heredity
Gregor Mendel was an Austrian Monk that lived during the 1800's. He studied what humans had noticed for centuries- the passing of traits from parents to offspring, or heredity. Mendel was the first to predict why this happened, becoming the first real 'geneticist,' or person to study heredity.
Mendel was a great gardener, so his chosen subject was the garden pea. He chose to use garden peas because they reproduced sexually- meaning that they needed both male and female sex cells (gametes) to produce offspring. Fertilization occurs when the male and female reproductive cells combine and the resulting fertilized cell (which eventually forms into a baby) is called a zygote. In plants, the process of fertilization is also called pollination, or when the transfer of pollen from the male plant to the female plant occurs. There are two different kinds of pollination. There is self-pollination, which occurs when a plant fertilizes itself, and there is cross-pollination, where the pollen is transferred from one plant to another one to trigger fertilization.
Cross Pollination Animation
Mendel was sure to use purebred plants (ones that were homozygous dominant or recessive for a trait-meaning that they had genes for only one type of allele) so that his results would be correct. Mendel was experimenting with hybrids- offspring of parents with different types of a trait. He started off with monohybrid crosses- breeding only to observe the frequency of one trait- height. First he crossed a tall plant with a short plant and the offspring were all tall. Then, the allowed the second generation to self pollinate and found that their offspring (the third generation) were ¾ tall plants and ¼ short plants.
Mendel's Peas Animation Activity
From that experiment, Mendel concluded that two things controlled each trait organisms have. The things are genes located on chromosomes and are called alleles. Basically, Mendel concluded that an organism would have alleles from both parents (the law of segregation). With these traits Mendel determined that some were dominant and appeared in offspring, and that some were recessive and disappeared in offspring. Dominant traits are represented with capital letters (RR) and recessive ones are represented with lowercase letters (rr).
Phenotype is the way an organism looks and behaves, genotype is its allele combinations. A genotype cannot always be seen by what an organisms phenotype is because of recessive traits. Organisms that are homozygous for a trait (have two of the same alleles for a trait, i.e. tall tall, short short) show their genotypes in their phenotypes. Organisms that are heterozygous (have two different alleles for a trait, i.e. tall short) do not have phenotypes that show their genotypes.
Mendel's second rounds of crosses were dihybrid. He took round yellow seeds and crossed them with wrinkled green seeds. The first generation of offspring from those offspring showed the dominant trait- they were all round and yellow. However, when he let that second generation self pollinate they showed all of the possible combination of traits with this ratio- 9 round yellow seeds, 3 round green seeds, 3 wrinkled yellow seeds and one wrinkled green seed.
This second experiment caused Mendel to create the law of independent assortment which says that traits are inherited separate from each other (i.e. height and weight). This causes the variation because instead of clumping together traits can combine in many different ways.
Punnett Squares
Reginald Punnett (an English biologist) created an easy way to find the expected outcomes of possible offspring a specific cross could have.
Punnett Square Animation
Above is an example of a monohybrid cross. This type of cross shows the results of simple crosses where a trait is either one option or the other. Above is an example of a cross where a homozygous recessive pea plant is crossed with a heterozygous plant. The result is two heterozygous plants and two homozygous recessive plant. Simply, you take the alleles that a plant has (say, two recessive ones meaning the plant is green) and cross them with the alleles of another plant (say, a dominant one and a recessive one meaning the plant is yellow). The results of possible types of offspring are shown.
Monohybrid Cross animation
More complicated than that are Dihybrid crosses. Show above with kitties and the traits of tail length (long or short) and color (brown or white). Dihybrid crosses show the law of independent assortment by showing all the possible combinations of two separately inherited traits.
Dihybrid Cross Animation
Using Punnett squares one can find the probability of a trait. In the monohybrid cross above the ratio is 2:2 because there are two different outcomes that are shown to occur 2 times each. The larger the probability of a trait the more often it will occur in offspring.
Mitosis- Process of nuclear division where two new cells each receive a full set of chromosomes
Mitosis animation.
Diploid- A cell with two of each kind of chromosome or 2n number of chromosomes.
Haploid- A cell with one of each kind of chromosome or n number of chromosomes.[[@http://Homologous Chromosome|Homologous Chromosome]]
[[http://Homologous Chromosome|Homologous Chromosome]]- Chromosomes with genes for the same traits in the same order.
Meiosis- Cell division where one cell produces four gametes each with half the chromosomes.
Sperm- Haploid male sex cells produced by meiosis.
Egg- Haploid female sex cell produced by meiosis.
Sexual Reproduction- Reproduction that involves the production and fusion of haploid sex cells.
Crossing Over- Exchange of genetic material between chromatids during prophase I of meiosis
making new allele combinations.
Genetic recombinationGenetic recombination- Genetic variation during meiosis by reassortment or crossing over.
Genetic Recombination Animation
Nondisjunction- Failure of homologous chromosomes to separate during meiosis properly,
making gametes with too many or too few chromosomes.
Meiosis Video
Walk Through Meiosis animation
How Meiosis Works with explaination
Analyze- how meiosis maintains a constant number of chromosomes within a species.
Infer- how meiosis leads to variation in a species.
Relate- Mendel's laws of heredity to the events of meiosis.
Organisms have thousands of genes that determine traits. Genes are lined along chromosomes within the nucleus. A chromosome can contain more than a thousand genes along its length. In most cells, chromosomes are in pairs. One chromosome is from the male parent and one is from the female parent. A cell with two of each kind of chromosome is called a diploid cell. This supports Mendel's conclusion that organisms have two factors (alleles) for each trait.
Organisms produce gametes that contain one of each kind of chromosome. These are called haploid cells and are used in sexual reproduction. Haploid cells support Mendel's claims that parent organisms give one factor for each trait to their offspring.
Homologous chromosomes are the pair of chromosomes in a diploid cell that have genes for the same traits. On homologous chromosomes, these genes are arranged in the same order but because there are two possible alleles for the same gene, the two chromosomes are not always identical.
Meiosis is used so that through combination of an egg and sperm, the offspring has half of each of its parents' chromosomes. This provides the ability for genetic variation and evolution. Meiosis has two stages, meiosis I and meiosis II. When both stages are completed, there are four haploid cells. Haploid cells are called sex cells or gametes. Male gametes are called sperm and female gametes are called eggs. When a sperm fertilizes an egg, a zygote is formed with a diploid number of chromosomes.
The beginning of meiosis is interphase. During interphase, a cell replicates its chromosomes. Next is prophase I. Here the DNA coils and homologous chromosomes line up across from each other gene by gene. These pairings are called tetrads. The chromosomes in a tetrad are bound so tightly together, that they can actually exchange genetic material. This process of exchange is called crossing over. Crossing over results in new combinations of alleles on a chromosome.
The next phase is metaphase I. During metaphase I, the centromere from each chromosome is attached to a spindle fiber which pulls the tetrads to the middle. In the next phase, anaphase I, chromatids separate and move to opposite ends of the cell. This separatioin is essential in ensuring that each new cell will receive only one chromosome from each homologous pair. The last phase in the first stage of meiosis is Telophase I. Here the spindle is destroyed, chromosomes uncoil, and the cytoplasm divides into two new cells. After this first stage of meiosis, the process occurs again known as mitosis II. By the end of meiosis, there are four haploid sex cells usable for reproduction.
Crossing over during meiosis provides ways to rearrange alleles. Also, genetic recombination through fertilization can provide many different alleles. This potential means that genetic variation is much more likely to occur through meiosis and sexual reproduction. Mendel's results are explained by modern science's understanding and discoveries. Anaphase I of meiosis explains Mendel's observation that each parent gives one allele to the offspring. The segregation of chromosomes during anaphase I also explains how genes for different traits are inherited independently from one another like Mendel theorized.
Sometimes chromosomes do not separate properly during meiosis. When this occurs it is called nondisjunction. One kind of non disjunction creates two kinds of gametes. A gamete with an extra chromosome, and a gamete missing a chromosome. Another kind of nondisjunction is when homologous chromosomes fail to separate at all. This creates children with three sets of chromosomes. Organisms with more than the normal number of chromosomes are called polyploids. Polyploids are more common in plants because in animals it almost always causes the death of the zygote. Plants that are polyploidy are often bigger and better which has led some plant breeders to use chemicals that cause nondisjunction on plants.
Genes sometimes appear to be inherited together. This is because if they are close on the same chromosome, they are more likely to be inherited together. Chromosomes rather than individual genes follow Mendel's law of independent assortment.
Crossing Over-
1. Roll out four long strands of clay at least 10 cm long to represent two chromosomes, each with two chromatids.
2. Tie these chromatids (or strands of clay) together about 3 cm from their tops with twist ties.
3. Poke the letter C into the tops (above the twist ties) of all four chromatids with a toothepick, making the two on the first chromosome capital C's the second two lower case. Poke the letter B lower down on all four chromatids, making all the letters capitals. Then, near the bottom of all the chromatids poke the letter A, having the ones on the chromosome with the capital C's be capital and the ones on the chromosome with the lower case A's be lower case.
4. Assume that the chromosomes started out as a single pair before they were replicated. The chromosomes you have will resemble prophase I in meiosis. With this first set of chromosomes assume that crossing over does not take place. Draw how these chromosomes will appear in the end of meiosis. In this drawing record where the chromatids end up and what genes are located on them (i.e. the letters).
5. Repeat steps 1-3. This time assume that crossing over between genes B and C on the chromosomes occur. Remove one of the longer ends of each chromosome and switch them. Now draw and record the results as detailed in step 4.

Is Severus really 50? Because he thinks like 20 sometimes...or maybe its just the way its written, its often confusing...
| JaneA0202 chapter 2 . 9/7/2011
I really dont like when Hermione hides that Severus has a child for so many years..especially for stupid reasons...a man has right to know that he has a child... I guess Im not happy with it, because I read already a few stories where Hermione hid from Severus that he has a child...
If the reason for that was really reasonable, but only because it was one night stand or because he isnt father figure...he had right at least to know...even If he didnt want to be part of his sons life...And I can see that now after all those years, they will suddenly realise that they love each other and will get together.
And If he really loved her, why didnt he care all those 11 years what she did? If I was Severus and loved her, I would at least try to find out more about her life...
Though I myself wonder what she did, she has brains for more than just to be Muggle Studies teacher...
And Mr. Granger is really mature, his talk was quite childlish...
ugh...sorry, but things like this always makes me mad.
btw, Hugo and Scorpius are horrible...but I like Albus.

What a crock. I don't believe your stupid spoiler. JKR is too crafty for that shit.

Harry who?
HTML sure is hard, ain't it guys?
"Me," Jordyn, can you guys elaborate? This post looks good in Firefox and Safari on our Macs... Which browser/OS are you using and what do you see exactly?
ditto @4. did you read in the nyt that rowling is now richer than the queen? she doesn't need any more money. steal, borrow or skip that book.
Actually, this appears to be a false spoiler, anyway.
There is a spoiler-free review in the NYT today (apparently a local bookstroe person recognized Ms. Kaukutani, as she was able to buy a copy in advance). Without giving anything substantive away, the review manages to say enough to make it clear that the person who wrote this spoiler didn't read the same book she did.
So, even though the Stranger needs some help learning how to mask text, any devoted Potter-readers in the audience are safe.
this is a fake spoiler.
hermione doesn't die, neither does harry.

Skip to comments.Liberal violence rising
Posted on 11/19/2011 6:51:49 AM PST by jimluke01
While necessity is the mother of invention, sloth and envy beget mediocrity and upheaval the twin siblings of secular-socialism.
It is in this vein that a rebellious and increasingly violent spirit of incoherent anarchy continues to fester in urban centers across the nation. This is most evident in the form of the envy-driven "Occupy wherever" nonsense embraced by the "progressive" establishment.
Still, this Obama-supported effort to supplant, through lawless imposition, our free-market constitutional republic with some misguided conception of an outcome-based equalitocracy is rooted in much more than just good old-fashioned class warfare.
Part and parcel of secular-socialism is secularism. It's fascinating in its predictability. Wherever you find an entitlement-minded Marxist, you're likely to find a "progressive," counter-biblical moral relativist.
Case in point: The "Occupy D.C." protesters, who have squatted in more ways than one at Washington's McPherson Square, have posted a list of rules by which "occupants" are expected to abide. Rule No. 10 requires that folks not "assume anyone's gender," but, instead, "go with gender-neutral pronouns" like "comrade." (Who knew that a so-called "99 percent" of Americans were gender-bending commies?)
(Excerpt) Read more at wnd.com ...
If the liberals are getting violent during the Obama regime, just think what fun and games await us upon the return of a Republican administration.
Cartoon in my local paper today shows a homeless man with a sign "Would like to occupy someplace". It's time for the Occutards to just go home.
"If the liberals are getting violent during the Obama regime, just think what fun and games await us upon the return of a Republican administration."
Just think what fun and games await THEM...
"...just think what fun and games await us upon the return of a Republican administration."
First thing that comes to mind is the removal of letters from computer keyboards, just like they did the last time.
As far as I'm concerned, they are simply helping Americans establish "justification" with all that implies for the future.
I can only think of one acronym, BMA.
Our children are being exposed to this wanton violence and can't help but notice that little if anything is done to check it. Sends a terrible and frightening message to younger generations about the breakdown of order and incivility in our society. Our president and his allies in the corrupt MSM sympathetically condone this chaos.
"As far as Im concerned, they are simply helping Americans establish justification with all that implies for the future."
LOL - in their puffed up megalomania they're slowly becoming more obvious...
If this is the "civilian army" that Obozo promised us during his campaign, I just have two words:
Yep, secularism is a huge part of the problem.
The Current FReepathon Pays For The Current Quarters Expenses?
It will get worse when Obama brings our military home and lays them off with no jobs and no income for their families. Maybe this is what he's planning.
The only things the hippies can bring is a bong.
SPLC (Southern Poverty Law Center)- a hate group?...
Call me an optimist, but I believe the OWS movement is one of the best things to happen this decade for this reason;
It totally delegitimizes the extreme left, it delegitimizes anyone remotely associated with them, including liberals in general, and it destroys the nostalgic noble notion of the 1960s peace movement and exposes them all as the dirty, drug induced, immoral, violent anti american extremist morons they are.
They are not in fact the 99%, but the fringe. In a word, they are all being exposed as 'toxic'.
My best advise about people like these is contained in my tagline.
Removing keys from keyboards? Please explain.
"Removing keys from keyboards? Please explain."
When the Clinton people left in 2000, they removed all the 'W's from their computer keyboards. Kind of childish don't you think?
They will learn the true meaning of violence. They have no idea what's waiting for them.
I believe that is the dream of these "organizers", but it is just a pipe dream. See, it was not supposed to be the Tea parties that were the grassroots uprising, but it was supposed to be the grassroots rising of the left.
Funny, I've not seen videos of the ODV (Occupy Death Valley) or the OANWR protests. Why aren't those crowds being covered in the media?

(Chuck Burton/AP)It was not a great day for St. Louis Rams quarterback Sam Bradford. His first pass of the day on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers was returned 45 yards for a touchdown by Panthers defensive back Captain Munnerlyn, and Bradford was injured in the fourth quarter as he was running to the sideline. Bradford went down in pain, couldn't put any weight on his left leg and was carted to the locker room. An MRI Sunday night revealed that injury to be a torn left ACL, the team announced Monday morning.Safety Mike Mitchell was the man on the tackle, which appeared to be clean. "He was in significant pain on the sideline," coach Jeff Fisher said of his QB following the game. Bradford, who completed 21-of-30 passes for 255 yards, one touchdown and that first-play interception, was replaced by Kellen Clemens in the 30-15 loss. With the loss, the Rams fell to 3-4, tied for last in the NFC West. Next up on the schedule for St. Louis is a visit from the NFC-West leading Seahawks next Monday night.It's an interesting crossroad for Bradford, who was enjoying his best season in what has been a frustrating professional career for all involved. In his fourth NFL year, Bradford completed 159-of-262 passes for 1,687 yards, 14 touchdowns and just four interceptions. Through the first six weeks of the 2013 season, Bradford was the 10th-ranked passer in Football Outsiders' opponent-adjusted efficiency metrics -- ahead of Andrew Luck, Russell Wilson, Ben Roethlisberger, Tom Brady and Alex Smith.But just as Bradford is starting to roll as a quarterback, and just as the Rams are finally surrounding him with estimable targets, a major bill is coming due. Bradford is owed $14.015 million in base salary in 2014, the fourth year of a rookie contract worth $78 million over six years. The Rams said publicly a few weeks ago that they were interested in extending that contract, which would provide security for Bradford and salary cap relief for the franchise."We have decided that Sam Bradford is our guy," team president Kevin Demoff told Mike Silver of NFL.com in late September. "If they [Bradford and his representatives] came to us and wanted to do a contract extension right now, we'd do it in a minute."Now, things become more complicated. The Rams have a bevy of high picks secured in numerous deals over the last few seasons, and the 2014 quarterback draft class looks to be as rich as any in recent memory. Perhaps the team has seen all it needs to with Bradford, injury be damned.If not, Bradford's injury could be franchise-defining in the short and long term.

Re: those with credit scores near or over 720
a new equifax credit report has bumped my score from 702 to 79 as the result of 1. removal of one inquiry (more than one year old), 2 the removal of a paid collection from 2005, and 3 the removal of 2 derrogatories being a student loan currently having an unpaid balance of approximately 60% of the initial balance (i knew i shouldnt have cosigned my sons loan, and 3 removal ofa derrogatory from 2007 which was also paid.
Now im left with one student loan also having a balance of 60% of the original loan and one collection scheduled for removal in the summer of 2013. I have no inquiries still on m;y equifax file, and just one on my experian record to be removed in august of this year.
In additional my utilization is under 1% from the balance on one major credit card. Since I will have to take out a loan next spring or summer for a car loan, im seeking to have no more credit inquiries until that time.
im hoping that they ll remove my current student loan derrogatory, since that same private student loan company removed a derrogatory in March, 2012. Large payments will leave both student loans fullly paid off by the end of 2012 (good riddens).
while my 709 equifax score is from a new report, perhaps my transunion score will increase accordingly, similar to the 7 pt. increase by equifax. Im hoping it wont be long until m;y fico scores are in the 720 range.

Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Capitol Hill Critics Second-Guess Agencies Using...
Swedish Orphan Biovitrum (SOBI) will distribute Fresenius Biotech's EU-approved Removab® (catumaxomab) antibody treatment for cancer-related malignant ascites in 15 Europe countries. The seven-year agreement covers Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Estonia, and Lithuania.
Removab was cleared for marketing by the European Commission in September 2009, and to date has only been launched in Austria and Germany. EU approval covers its use for the treatment of malignant ascites in patients with EpCAM-positive cancers for whom standard therapy is either not ailable or no longer feasible. "Removab is a perfect fit with our cancer product portfolio such as Yondelis®, which is distributed in similar territories," comments Kennet Rooth, SOBI CEO. "We are looking forward to the Fresenius Biotech partnership and the additional growth potential Removab will add to our business."
Removab is a trifunctional antibody licensed by Fresenius from Trion Pharma. It is designed to bind to three different cell types simultaneously. One arm of the antibody recognizes and binds to T cells, and the other arm binds EpCAM expressed by a range of cancers. In addition, immune effector cells with Fc receptors also bind to the Fc region of Removab. Fresenius claims this three-way binding results in the co-stimulation and activation of T cells and accessory cells, enabling the generation of a strong immune response against cancer cells.

Although inexpensive, this ranks as one of the most boring facial moisturizers at the drugstore. It's a classic oil-in-water with wax formula, and although it can address the basic needs of dry to very dry skin, using it is akin to sending someone a telegram instead of an email.
Normally we'd comment that the (giant) jar packaging is a problem because once opened it allows the light- and air-sensitive ingredients to break down, but this formula contains only a token amount of such ingredients. Still, the large jar packaging does present a hygiene issue because you dip your fingers into it—a step that becomes trickier as this is depleted (it's a really big jar with a not-so-big opening).
Specifically designed for dry to very dry skin, this daily moisturizer nourishes for up to 24 hours with a blend of natural botanical extracts and nutrients, resulting in soft, healthy-looking skin.
Water, Mineral Oil , Isopropyl Palmitate, Petrolatum, Glycerin, Ceresin, Stearic Acid, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetyl Alcohol, Sorbitan Oleate, Triethanolamine, Laureth 23, Fragrance, DMDM Hydantoin, Carbomer, Methylparaben, BHT, Tetrasodium EDTA, Disodium EDTA, Fucus Vesiculosus Extract, Pyrus Malus Fruit Extract (Apple), Citrus Grandis Fruit Extract (Grapefruit)
Pond's At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive.
Weaknesses: No products to manage blemish-prone skin.
There's over 160 years of history for this drugstore line of products, beginning with a toner in 1846 and leading to the Pond's collection of today. For the most part, Pond's has taken a cue from Dove (both are owned by Unilever) and launched several impressive products to capitalize on what current research shows skin needs to look and function its best. Some old (we mean really old) standbys still exist, including the original cold cream, but we suppose there will always be a segment of the population that remains steadfast in their devotion to a certain product. Regrettably, some of the newer items include needless irritants for skin, and that's doubly frustrating because the formulas also contain many beneficial ingredients for skin.
It's no secret that Pond's target market is women over 40. They say as much in ads and on their Web site, which takes an almost gleeful approach to what they describe as "the beauty of aging." By "beauty" they mean the increased confidence and sense of self-awareness that tends to come with age—not the appearance of wrinkles, discolorations, and loss of firmness. It's an overall positive approach and one that likely appeals to many forty-something women. But what's even better is the selection of Pond's products that are affordable and that can successfully meet some of the needs of those dealing with signs of aging (in truth mostly sun damage) and trying to protect their skin. Pond's isn't as well-rounded as some of its drugstore competitors such as Olay, Neutrogena, Dove, or even, to some extent L'Oreal, but by no means should Pond's products be dismissed, either (and Dove's skin-care assortment tends to waver more than most, which makes assembling a comprehensive routine tricky).
