Well, there's this guy, Australia's Holy Roller.

YES. Hubby watched only the race, heard the call, and made the same mistake. Reminded me of this oldie-but-goodie:
Ugh. Twinspires stream quit, and Ben's Cat going to post. Anywhere I can watch?
Beyer is a curmudgeon, I agree. But here's his reasoning:
Yep. Laurie (former MS mod) is there, too. I watched their cams last year, but have not kept up with things.
Looks like he's back with a powerful one-two finish in the CashCall Futurity today.
Well, not Malibu Moon anyhow. He got his start in MD.
What are the odds? I have a tour at Claiborne next weekend, too. It'll be my second tour there. The first was a few years ago, and this time I am going with the hope of meeting Flatter, who sired my...

Sometimes I wonder if these stories make BH just for the sheer fun of the headline. :lol:
I had to resort to Twinspires to watch. Even my horse was banging her head against the wall. (Seriously.)
Joel is out for six weeks, and Lezcano will ride Orb today in the Travers.
IMO, you picked a good one. Give my regards to Pleasantly Perfect. You might even have a chance to pose with AP Indy, if they are still bringing him out for adoration.
Very helpful reference. Thank you! I looked for such a list and couldn't find one on my own. Usually, the abbreviations are obvious to me, but those two stumped me. I've never had a horse who made it...
Thanks! How silly I didn't think of Arlington Park, since I spent my first day at the races there something like 50 years ago. I did think of Arapahoe, but it made no sense, sandwiched tightly...
I am mystified by two track abbreviations on a PP document generated by Equibase. Does anybody know which tracks AP and/or KD refer to?
As always, I'm grateful for the collective wisdom on this...

I'm looking for an automatic newsletter plugin that is compatible with Advanced Custom Fields. I'm currently using WYSIJA for my automatic newsletter and it's great but it doesn't include ACF content.
I'm using a custom post template with Advanced Custom Fields in it to make posts easier my client to build, as each post has the same format.
What I would like to achieve is when a post is published using Advanced Custom Fields, the post in it's entirety is sent to the subscribers.
WYSIJA support informed me this wasn't possible with their plugin because as they put it
ACF stores data differently as post meta, unfortunately Wysija don't grab that data in newsletters.
Does anyone know of a newsletter plugin with this functionality? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Yesterday's announcement (2/21/12) of the Supreme Court's agreement to hear a major affirmative action case brings this controversial initiative to the top of the nation's education policy agenda once again. See "Justices Take Up Race as a Factor in College Entry" (NY Times, 2/21/12), "U.S. Supreme Court to Hear Texas Affirmative Action Case" (Diverse Issues, 2/22), "Counting Justices" (Inside Higher Education, 2/22/12), and "Supreme Court Takes Up Challenge to Race-Conscious Admissions at U. of Texas", (Chronicle, 2/21/12).
This blog was established by the Digital Learning Lab to leverage Black America's efforts to close the Digital Divide. Its original name "HBCU-Levers" reflected its original focus on HBCUs, specifically: their use of Internet technology in their teaching, research, and community service. The blog's scope has recently been extended to include the efforts of community-based groups to enhance the computational thinking skills of Black Americans and the efforts of Black software entrepreneurs.

Black History -- A Personal Note
This being Black History Month, here's a personal addition to the record.

Why are HBCUs Still Needed? -- Part III
Declining Market Share
Relentless financial pressure from the continuing Great Recession ensures continuation of the long-term decline in the percentage of black American students who attend HBCUs. Within a few years the HBCU share will drop below 10 percent. So I return, once again, to the question that I have addressed a few times before on this blog: "Why are HBCUs still needed?"

Affirmative Action Strategies -- 1
Last update: Friday 8/8/14Not all affirmative action programs are the same, nor should they be. Unfortunately, when affirmative action programs are discussed in the media, in policy forums, and even in scholarly publications, the significant differences among these programs are often denied and/or glossed over. As a first step, I suggest that it's useful to distinguish between programs that are based on competitive strategies vs. those based on compensatory strategies.

There doesn't appear to be a lot of traction for getting a new jail and public safety center built in Mills County.
A citizen's committee, put together in 2008 to study the issue and develop a proposal to replace or renovate the nearly century-old Mills County Jail and Sheriff's Office building in Glenwood, has disbanded and the county board of supervisors must now decide what direction to go on the matter.
After a nine-year tenure as superintendent of the Glenwood Community School District, Dr. Stan Sibley has retired and turned over the reigns to his successor, Devin Embray.
The changing of the guard took place Thursday, July 1, the first day of the district's 2010-2011 fiscal year.
Stephen H. Beattie, 55, of Malvern, is facing multiple charges following a high-profile investigation of alleged sexual misconduct at a Malvern funeral home.
Beattie is charged with third-degree sexual abuse (a Class C felony), lascivious acts with a minor (serious misdemeanor) and indecent exposure (serious misdemeanor). The charges were announced Thursday afternoon by Mills County Sheriff Eugene Goos.
The Iowa Department of Human Services announced Thursday that Zvia McCormick has been named superintendent of the Glenwood Resource Center.
McCormick had been the division director for residential services at the Tacachale Developmental Disability Center in Gainesville, Fla. McCormick has worked at the facility since 1983 when she was hired as a social worker. She holds a bachelor's of social work from Hebrew University and a master's in social work from Florida State University.
The Glenwood Resource Center was on the receiving end of an award last week from the Department of Defense.
GRC Interim Superintendent Kelly Brodie accepted the Patriot Award from representatives of the Iowa Committee for Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR).
With many areas of western Mills County already suffering from flooding, the worst may be yet to come as the Missouri River is not expected to crest until later this week, said Larry Hurst, Emergency Management Director for Mills County.
Hurst said the area of greatest concern for Mills County residents is a four-mile stretch of Missouri River bottom near the Plattsmouth Toll Bridge.
Clouds gave way to sunshine this week at the Glenwood Resource Center.
And it had nothing to do with the first day of summer.
After more than a decade operating under a cloud of controversy the resource center received some sunlight last Tuesday in the form of an Iowa Department of Health and Human Services announcement that the care facility for people with developmental disabilities has substantially met compliance with a U.S. Department of Justice civil rights decree.
A preliminary investigation by the Mills County Sheriff's Office has determined that a 57-year-old Glenwood woman took her own life over the weekend at a popular Mills County recreation area.
The body of Ramona Dynek, 57, of Glenwood, and the body of her dog were found dead around 5:45 a.m. Sunday morning near a picnic shelter at Pony Creek Lake in western Mills County.
Chief Deputy Bruce Paulsen said Ms. Dynek and the dog both appeared to have died from a single gunshot wound.
Opening ceremonies for the 14th Annual Mills County Relay For Life will take place Saturday, at 4 p.m., on the track at Ram Memorial Field in Glenwood. The event is a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society.
Leading the way for the first lap of the relay will be this year's Relay For Life Ambassadors - Mike Bolan, Lyle Jones, Karen O'Dell, Wilma Ring and Kathy Ryan. The traditional team lap will also take place at the start of the relay.
A garage and automobile behind a residence at 406 S. Hazel Street in Glenwood were destroyed by a fire Tuesday evening, May 4.
Glenwood firefighters responded to a call of a structure fire shortly before 6:30 p.m. The garage was completely engulfed in flames and heavy black smoke upon their arrival. Firefighters had the blaze contained in a matter of minutes, but the structure was a total loss.

The first industrial robot was introduced to the U.S. in the 1960s. Since then, their technology has improved immensely creating many advantages of robots. The advancement of robotics has also caused robots to become more widespread across various industries ranging from manufacturing to health care. Many benefits of robots seem to be most noticeable in productivity, safety, and in saving time and money.
The list of the advantages of robots does not end there; they have also created jobs for workers. Many people believe the misconception that robots have taken away jobs from workers, but that is not necessarily true. Robots have created new jobs for those who were once on production lines with programming. They have pulled employees from repetitive, monotonous jobs and put them in better, more challenging ones. They also allow US companies to remain competitive, keeping jobs local. Robots are user-friendly, intelligent, and affordable. The benefits of robots continue to grow as more industries incorporate them. Contact RobotWorx at 740-251-4312 for help in choosing the right robot or get free price quotes.

Hardcore fans know that there are a number of top fighters that should and could be in the UFC but aren't.
Who gives a **** about Showtime, move it somewhere else because at the moment it is a sideshow with no credibility.
Cormier is on twitter everyday saying he doesn't know who he is going to fight.
No disrespect intended Achilles but you're a relative noob to this sport and a **** most certainly needs to be given here.
MMA is in a SERIOUS decline. The Fuel card did very poor numbers. Likewise even Bellator are struggling too. The UFC has also been routinely putting on garbage cards as well as being plagued by injury's.
Now SF is literally days may be hours from closing its door.
There's a running theme here and its Dana White and Zuffa. They're killing this sport and dragging others down with them.
Prior to Zuffa Showtime and SF had an excellent relationship. The coverage was vital to the success of the brand and was the main reason why SF had such a good year off the back of the GP prior to being bought. Because of Dana's complete lack of professionalism, Showtime are now going to ditch MMA. Thats bad bad news for fans and most of all for fighters.
Only recently John Fitch was complaining how tough it is for fighters to make a living outside of MMA. And the main reason for this is not the economic down turn but simply because fighters have far fewer options now.
It pains me to see an Organisation like SF that has been around since the mid 80's get thrown to the dogs simply because Zuffa didn't give a **** about it. But alas this has always been the Zuffa way. They've never ever been interested in monetizing or cultivating any of their acquisitions.
If this downwards trend continues MMA will positively return to a niche sport as right now the casual fans are walking away from it in their 10's of thousands. Thats not anything not to give a **** about.

Café Constant
Café Constant is what you'd expect from the godfather of bistronomie -- highly professional food wise. Service is neither pleasant nor efficient, and you'd better go to the neaby Les Cocottes if you don't have one and a half hour for lunch. Speaking of which, the fairly basic lunch deal is 23€ with no choice, the regular fare is 11+17+7 for three courses, and specials of the day are likely to set you back 50€ pp.

Sorry about the bad settings on the camera! L'Assiette is a great very classic bistrot. It is classic not only because it does classics, but also because it does them with a great deal of balance and good taste. I'm not excited, but it's still recommended.

Well, it's decent food, and it serves all day and late at night. Not cheap, but I suppose you could call it authentic. Feels like a cash machine, but in a not too obnoxious way.

Saturne is good, and not too expensive. I'm not excited, but it's a nice place. The acoustics is the biggest problem here.

It's not bad, especially considering the neighborhood. Hard to get excited, though. And there is a constant sense that they want money from you, with supplements on every other dish, including the sablé aux framboises and the basket they bring you at the end with boxes of biscuit "2€ a piece"

L'Aromatik recently got a new team, I was told. The setting is vert art déco, lovely, straight from a Smallville épisode. The food was good, very good in the case of the liver. The dinner menu is different, more sophisticated, with their signature essential oils, but I can't report on that. Based on the one lunch, it's a lovely (and popular) neighborhood bistrot, but not a destination yet.

Dominique Saibron
Dominique Saibron used to be "Le Boulanger de Monge". He now has a new shop in Alesia where everything looks the same as what he sold in Monge but has different names. His breads and millefeuille are, I think, the highlights. Everything tastes very strongly of wheat, which indicates short fermentations, if any. Not a place for Gluten intolerant. Great spelt bread too.
Adrienne Chez La Vieille
This Parisian legend of a bistrot has been taken over by Michel Del Burgo, who used to be the chef at Taillevent in three-star days. And when I mean taken over, I don't mean bought back and manager from far the Ducasse way. A real top chef in a real bistrot. Hard to resist.

Léna et Mimile
So Léna et Mimile is a lovely bistrot pretending to do "molecular cuisine" and to "apply Hervé This' principles". If you ignore that label, this is a good ingredient driven bistrot, with a lot of name dropping (Bellota, Joël Thiébault, Pierre Hermé...). There's no reason to cross the city for their food, but they are very nice -- eg they whipped some cream as a side for our coffee.

Ledoyen is today one of the best restaurants in Paris, and it has an amazing value 88e menu. Be careful with your water order, though, as they will renew it without asking and charge you every single bottle. That said, the subtle and often perfect of truly remarkable ingredients, be they fancy langoustines or simple green peas set this restaurant apart. Only a handful of Parisian restaurants operate at that level of food perfection. And of course, the setting is unique and historical.

La Patisserie des rêves, Philippe Conticini
This first visit was kind of a disapointment. Maybe it's because I worship Conticini and have too high expectations. Maybe it's because I waited a few hours before eating pastries that are obviously made on the spot. In any case, the Paris Brest was irresistible, the Tatin magical.

To me that defies the point of this kind of food, but those days, small portions are considered an asset anywhere. At 100eur for the four course meanu you can see, it's not cheap.

Now thaht was real crap, and mostly a true rip-off. This disneyland parody of a Landaise farm serves poor ingredients prepared without talent or skills and charge you a mandatory 46eur pp prix fixe, to which you must add 13 eur for a bottle of Chateldon.

Les Prés d'Eugénie
I've been wanting to go to Guérard for over ten years. When my dream came true, my impressions were mixed. But for les Prés d'Eugénie, my sense was "Guérard was there". Once upon a time, he was. And in some dishes, like the lobster, that sheer genius is demonstrated and reminded. The rest of the time, it is an impeccable place for rich and old people. See for yourself.

Those who complain about the prices here are idiots. You get what everybody says: lots of extraordinary ingredients prepared as should be.

Lignac's bistrot is good, with very nice wines, fresh ingredients, mastered techniques. Now the question it raises is the one any bistrot raises, in my opinion: does it make sense to spend that much money for food that is, in the end, not special? But that's the bistrot problem -- a whole meal with a good bottle costs over 70eur pp. Leaving the place, I couldn't help thinking that we had lunch at le Cinq for only twice as much, and it was way more than twice as good. That said, I'm not sure I prefer Paul Bert to Chardenoux. It's a nice bistrot and it was a very pleasant meal.

This is Dutournier's bistrot in the same block as his gastronomic restaurant, le Carré de Feuillants. With its open kitchen and granite bar, it is kind of his "Atelier".

Publish Pygmynote Snips on the Web
Productivity Sauce
As you might already know, I use the Pygmynote script to track tasks, manage notes, and store important bits of information. Most of the time, I access the script from the terminal using an SSH connection. But there are situations when I need to quickly check certain Pygmynote entries from a web browser. To be able to do this, I cobbled together a simple PHP script that pulls records containing the snip tag and displays them as nicely formatted pages.
You can downloaded the PHP script and the accompanying style.css file from the pygmynote GitHub repository. All the embellishments aside, the PHP script is simplicity itself. It uses the PDO driver to establish a connection to the pygmynote.db database. The script then pulls the records containing the snip tag, and displays them as an HTML table:
<?php $db = new PDO('sqlite:pygmynote.db'); print "
"; print "
"; $result = $db->query("SELECT id, note, tags FROM notes WHERE tags LIKE '%snip%' AND type='A' ORDER BY id ASC"); foreach($result as $row) { print "

".$row['note']."

"; print "
Tags: ".$row['tags']."
"; } print "
"; $db = NULL; print "
"; ?>
This dead-simple solution can be used as a bare-bones tool for publishing text snippets on the web. You can even use HTML markup to add text formatting to the records you want to publish.
To make the pygmynote.php script work, you need an Apache web server with PHP. Since the Pygmynote script uses an SQLite database to store data, you also need to enable the PDO SQLite driver in Apache. To do this on Ubuntu or Debian-based Linux distributions, install the php5-sqlite package by running the apt-get install php5-sqlite command as root. Open then the php.ini file for editing in a text editor:
nano /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
Add then the following lines at the end of the file:
extension=pdo.so extension=pdo_sqlite.so extension=sqlite.so
Restart then Apache using the /etc/init.d/apache2 restart command.
Open the pygmynote.php file in a text editor and specify the correct path to the pygmynote.db database. Save the file and move it to the document root of your server along with the style style.css file. To publish the record you want, add the snip tag to it.comments powered by Disqus

Blogger Accuses Asus of Infringing GPL with Eee PC
Cliff Biffle, a US blogger, accuses Asus of infringements against the GPL with the software on ist Eee PC.
Writing on the subject of the recent presentation of the Asus mini-notebook, "Eee PC", in his blog, Biffle claims that modifications to the Open Source components infringe on the GPL. Biffle says that he has downloaded 1.8GB of source code from both the US and the Taiwanese sites and checked the code. He discovered that the code does not include all sources. Nor does the source code contain modifications by the PC vendor, and the required documentation was also missing.
In his test report Biffle describes what he discovered about the purported source code the download. He writes that the Zip archive includes just a couple of Debian installation packages, some of which were older versions than those supplied with the device, along with the kernel headers. He goes on to write that Asus has made major changes to the "asus_acpi" kernel modul for kernel 184.108.40.206, but without publishing, or disclosing and documenting the changes. In Biffle's opinion the vendor has taken steps to remove details of the modifications and the new functionality offered by the module. The modified modules now no longer contain typical information such as the module name, version and authoring information, as these details have simply been removed.
The Madwifi for the Atheros WiFi chip has also been modified says Biffle. However, there is no need to publish these changes as the Madwifi is dual licensed under the GPL and the BSD license, which means that Asus can keep the changes to itself.
It also looks like Asus is using the multipurpose Busybox binary in the Initramfs system image but without keeping to GPL rules. The developers of Busybox are currently working with the Software Freedom Law Center (SFLC) to defend their rights in a court of law, if needed.
The blog author writes that he and other people have contacted Asus but without receiving a response. Biffle hopes that Asus will simply say "Oops!", admit its error, and update the Zip archive.

We have some class files with globs of redundant code. I've been looking for a view in Eclipse which allows you to limit your editor to just a single method, similar to Module View button in VB6, for those of you who know what I mean. The need for this is to make it easier to search for a string and have the search limited to only the code within the method I care about. (It's also a nice feature for editing large globs of code, to make sure I am not accidentally adding the code to a different large method with redundant code.)
I thought the Declaration View would do this, but this view neither allows search nor editing. This leads to a 2-part question:
a. This there any view in Eclipse that can be used as described above?
b. Given Declaration View's limitations, what is it useful for? (The only link I found directly Declaration View Hands On Eclipse didn't make much sense to me.)

Robotic Exoskeleton Helps Get Vets Back On Their Feet
Several bio-tech companies are developing exoskeletons that give people superhuman abilities. These robotic suits are also doing something simpler: They're helping people who are paralyzed, including many veterans, stand up and walk. As Erin Toner of WUWM reports, the technology helps improve patients' mental and physical health, but it's far from changing their lives entirely.

Upgrading to Outperform (from Neutral) on Valuation Rising Outlook: "MWE reported 1Q results that handily beat CS and consensus estimates and narrowed guidance for 2013 lower to $500-$540mm in DCF from $500-$575mm. While we are raising our DCF estimate for 2013 to the low end of the range, we are also raising our TP by $16, to $73/unit, based on three stage DDM applying 10% distribution growth for five years, 4% for five years, 1.5% terminal growth rate and a 9% discount rate. Total return goes to 15-20%, taking us back to Outperform relative to our sector. We are revising our 2013/2014/2015 EPU estimates to $0.63/42.59/$3.04 (from $0.97/$2.27/$2.94) respectively.
1Q Results Beat: MWE reported adjusted EBITDA of $141mm vs. CS $133mm and DCF/unit of $0.86 vs. CS $0.69. MWE declared a $0.83/unit distribution, up $0.01/unit sequentially and in-line with CS's forecast which represented a 5% y/y increase from 1Q:12."

Definition of Subarachnoid
Subarachnoid: Literally, beneath the arachnoid, the middle of three membranes that cover the central nervous system. In practice, subarachnoid usually refers to the space between the arachnoid and the pia mater, the innermost membrane surrounding the central nervous system.
The subarachnoid space is a potential space. It normally contains cerebrospinal fluid. A subarachnoid hemorrhage is a bleed into this space.
The arachnoid is named for its delicate, spider-web-like filaments that extend from its undersurface through the cerebrospinal fluid in the subarachnoid space to the pia mater. "Arachnoid" comes from the Greek "arachne" meaning spider or cobweb + "eidos" meaning resemblance = spider-web-like.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary

I am not concerned and I know she'll get there. I'm curious how your little ones are doing with speech and if anyone else yells :)
What do your kids say? And sign?

Comments (10)
Ellie is a CHATTERBOX (but only walks a few steps... she used to be SO gross motor, but she changed her mind!)
She is almost 21 months and SAYS woof-woof, moo, baa (for sheep), boo (book), Da (dante), DADA (daddy), eese (please), a-chee! (cheese), baby, no, mine, shoo (shoes), a-da (all done), bye bye, hi, ni (night), mo (more), and tee (tree), dow (down), up, out, in, hat.... Not all are easy to understand at ALL though!
She signs: more, all done, eat, shoe, stars, baby, bear, tree, dog, hat, socks, blocks, book, bible, and cat.
We'll see if she ever decides to take a talking break to work on walking!
Joanna has no interest in signing. She does wave (and say) hi/bye and she will wave her hands above her highchair when she is all done. I think that comes more from her clearing the food off the tray then signing :)
As for words, I think she is doing great. She says hi to everyone and has started adding it with names: hi daddy (hi dy), hi baby (hi bee), and hi AJ (hi a). She also says: book (boo), bang, ball, blocks (all are ba), when we talk about food she says mmmm, baba, baby, up, vroom,
She has not been interested in animal noises or labling body parts so that is what we have been working on. She loves her baby doll so we use her to get her intested. She LOVES when her baby doll does the moves to Wheels on the bus!
Since getting tubes about a month ago, we have noticed an explosion in Bella's speech and her newfound love of making other sounds (yes, like yelling :)).
We've been working on signs, but she's not really interested and only has a few: water; all done; eat; more; play - she will wave bye-bye...and if she wants to nurse she hits me on the chest and says mama and signs eat.
Words: mama (new favorite to yell at the top of her lungs in the middle Mass when it is quiet); dada; Andrew (aaaan-dew); book; baby; Alba (her babysitter, says this one clear as a bell); woof woof; up; her EI teacher swears she says 'good job'; eat; speech therapist hears 'cracker'...I haven't heard or at least understood that one yet; she also says hummmm when she's eating something she really likes; she says something that sounds like 'thank you', but we can't quite tell. There are other sounds she makes that we hear constantly that we know mean something, we just can't make out exactly what she's saying yet! Her poor sisters (both start with an E so maybe harder to say), who read to her everyday and play with her all the time, hate it that she's saying Andrew and not their names :)
DS (16), DD (15), DD (9) and DD (3/2011 - T21)
Ben has about 20+ signs and about 10-20 spoken words. He may be getting tubes since he has had fluid for almost 3 months unresolved. I can't list them all, but some of his signs are (hat, more, milk, airplane, car, bus, hat, all done, book, bear, cat, dog, bedtime or goodnight, baby, shoe, water, rain, dad, grandpa, tree, leaf, please etc.) His spoken words are mostly approximations, again not listing them all, but some are (ball, dad, outside, up, right there, cat, hat, ma ma, pop pop, book, football . . . one of my favorites :), gobble . . .thanks to the Thanksgiving holiday :), lu lu for leaf, Adda for his sister Abbie, brabra for his brother, pu pu for please etc.) We started speech last week, but until the tubes come, I don't know if I will continue as he hasn't been hearing the decibals that influence all letter sounds apparently!! Who knew??!! Thank goodness I have a friend who is a ST and I read the report over the phone to her and she explained what the report meant in terms of what sounds he could and couldn't hear correctly . . .and he can't hear any correctly!!
Luca is 20 months and says "all done" and "moo" and "dada". He has said other things but not consistently. Those are words he uses a lot.
He also signs all done, milk, hi/bye, more
Mommy to Bella (7), Gianna (4), and twins Giancarlo and Luca (ds) born 3/11/11
Stephanie, happy mommy to handsome Rory Townsend (1/07), beautiful Eloisa Jolene (4/11, T21) and sweet little Samantha Astrid (7/12)
Isaac is 21 months and jsut recently started signing after many months of working on it with him. He signs "more" "eat" and "baby" pretty consistently and spontaneously. He will sign "dada" "bath" and "milk" after we do it.
As far as spoken words he just has a few approximations. He will say "muh" for more but sometimes it comes out very clear (like when we offered him some ice cream!) He will also say "buh" which could mean "boo" during peekaboo, or baby or ball or book or bath depending on context. That's about it. He yells loudly but doen't babble much.
Rachelle, mom to Kaydence (12/15/08) Isaac (T21, 2/14/11) and Emily (5/5/12)
I feel like we're so far behind in communication compared to everyone else!
Kennedy will sign eat, more, milk. She does a lot of pointing and waves hi/bye. She says mama, dada, bye, and has approximations of "buh" for ball and book. "Bruh" is for brother. She's said what sounds like "hi" and "yeah" several times, but I'm not calling them words yet. She still babbles a lot.
Jennifer, SAHM to Kennedy -T21, Repaired AVSD (2/19/11), Expecting Caleb Alexander (EDD 7/28/12)

ECB Is Heading for Some Hefty Icebergs
The Argentine government and the euro-zone policy makers have much in common: both have pistols at the ready, and aimed at unwanted messengers.
Argentina's government says the country's inflation rate is 9.7%. Most independent economists put the figure at 20%. So the government has filed criminal charges against one consulting firm, MyS for "publishing false information about inflation data," part of a coordinated campaign against independent economists.
I am sure euro-zone policy makers chuckle at such behavior by a country famous for economic mismanagement. After all, wasn't it less than ten years ago that Argentina defaulted on its debt, something no self-respecting eurocrat would allow to happen in the zone—if they could prevent it, which they cannot. It seems that the rating agencies are threatening to declare Greece in default if private-sector players are forced to accept a haircut on their Greek debt. Which to eurocrats puts the rating agencies in the same class as the Argentine government puts independent economists–enemies of the people. Rather than allow the big three rating agencies–Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Fitch–to get in the way of plans for the next Greek bailout, the Europeans want to set up their own agency, which will presumably better understand that "default" is not a word used in polite Brussels circles. After all, the big three are American, and who can deny that their real goal is to destroy the euro so as to preserve the dollar's role as the world's reserve currency?
In short, if you don't like the frigid temperature, buy a new thermometer rather than a scarf and gloves. Deny reality. Which seems to be the stock in trade of eurocrats. If the markets say that Greece must pay 20% to borrow money, blame it on speculators rather than Greece's failure to keep the promises made when it negotiated the initial bailout.
If simple arithmetic says that Greece is in or inevitably headed for default, which would make the European Central Bank unable to accept the collateral of Greek banks, it is an easy matter to do for Greece what the ECB has done for Portugal. When Portugal's debt was downgraded to "junk" the ECB waived its minimum rating requirements and continued to accept Portuguese paper as collateral for loans, adding to the tens of billions of euros of Greek debt already on the ECB balance sheet. Apparently, ECB President Jean-Claude Trichet feels that is a more prudent course than allowing Greece or Portugal to default.
The name of the game now is to reduce Greece's massive debt burden, around 150% of GDP, by somehow taking advantage of the huge discounts at which its bonds are selling. The myriad proposals for doing that are—you guessed it—to be discussed at a meeting of finance ministers of the 17 euro-zone countries Monday, another in a long line of meetings that have been held, with more to come. That this display of indecision and division might just scare off the sovereign wealth funds that the eurocrats are hoping to attract to the refunding party remains unmentioned.
So here is the state of play. Greece will receive a second tranche of the bailout funds originally promised, in return for its promise to fulfill its so-far unfilled earlier pledges. There is some hesitation about making additional funds available under the various mechanisms existing and to come into being, but an almost religious belief that the euro must survive at all costs—the costs to be borne primarily by Germany—will probably trump any doubts. But the Greek ship-of-state is taking on water faster than German chancellor Angela Merkel and her crew can bail the ship out. It will sink.
Which is the least of the euro zone's problem. Everyone now knows that Portugal will need increasing financial assistance, that like Greece it has not kept its pledge to reduce its deficit relative to its GDP, and that also like Greece its economy is stagnant, unable to create jobs and produce tax revenues with which to meet interest payments on its debt and cover the costs of a still-unreformed welfare state.
There is worse. The good ship Eurotitanic might maneuver around the tiny ice cubes that are Greece and Portugal, but it is headed straight toward two huge icebergs: Italy and Spain, the third and fourth largest euro-zone economies.
Spain has a budget deficit equal to 9.2% of GDP, and Italy's debt:GDP ratio of around 120% is second only to Greece. Spain, which has caused greater investor nervousness than Italy, might actually be in better shape, despite its 20.7% unemployment rate. Its economy is growing a bit, while Italy's has managed to grow at an average annual rate of a barely discernible 0.25% over the past decade, less than one-quarter the rate of the sluggish euro zone as a whole, and its labor market is so rigid that one-in-three young workers is unemployed.
And Italy, its bond yields at a nine-year high, has to tap the markets for €100 billion ($142.6 billion) this year, whereas Spain has to raise only €40 billion. If the results of the second round of bank stress tests, to be published on Friday, suggest Italy's banks are not as sound as Bank of Italy governor and to-be ECB head Mario Draghi claims, or if the tests prove as unstressful as the last round, which declared Ireland's banks sound, the price Italy will pay for that €100+ billion might just shoot up. Even rich Germany can't afford to bail out Spain and Italy should it come to that.

SDCC: Marvel: Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends Panel
Comic Books
A reader named Chris S. suggested that I devote October to the scariest comic books of all-time, as suggested by you readers out there! Sounds like a plan to me! So all October-long, I'll be featuring 31 comic book tales of terror, based on YOUR suggestions! So e-mail me at email@example.com your scary suggestions! Here is an archive of all the comics featured so far!
Reader Jones, one of the Jones boys made a number of excellent horror comic selections. Here is another one of them, Emily Carroll's striking web comic, His Face All Red.
Emily Carroll is an excellent comic book writer and artist. Here is her website.
His Face All Red can be all read here.
It is a story about a man who has an…interesting dynamic with his brother…
Since you can read the whole comic on her website, I won't share any more than this first page.
As you can tell, though, Carroll has an impressive ability to slowly unveil her tale in such a fashion that she can amp up the drama. This continues throughout the comic.
My favorite line is "came from the woods (most strange things do)," which she uses to perfection twice in the story.
Looks interesting. I'll have to check it out. I'm a cartoonist myself, so I always like to see people use a more "cartoony" style to tell serious stories.
Great pick Brian!
Emily Carroll is a complete badass. We talked about her on a 3 Chicks podcast (episode 005, the "best of 2010″ episode)
She's amazing. She's also got a story coming out with Brian Wood for Vertigo's Unexpected Anthology (I think it comes out this month?). Huge talent…paired with Brian Wood makes it a can't miss.
Comics Should Be Good accepts review copies. Anything sent to us will (for better or for worse) end up reviewed on the blog. See where to send the review copies.

the music player which RM skin is it?
been wanting to use your Dots orb on this since Luto's release but on sml taskbar it's more to the top did you modify the taskbar height or the orb itself?
I love running into artist here that listens to the same music as I do.
nice shot
I want that CAD skin NOW!... please :3
Love ϟƘƦƖןןΣx too!
Love ϟƘƦƖןןΣx too!
mind sharing the CAD skin ?
Hi mate, nice shot, what's the picture app?
thx a lot kiko!
the problem with this app is: that we can't open a pic from "open it", i tried another app called Zeed and if we rename the exe in Preview.exe: we can open directly the app from an image!!
I have no problem setting images to open with that program. I do hate how it opens images in their native resolution instead of some size you specify yourself.
i adore it. Not the butt
My brain is too young to be comtaminated
