^^^^^^^ Pretty much at that point with PMS in general.
Every release seems worse. I ended up going back to the Magma build. It's the only version that works with nearly everything. Works with my 360 and PS3, as well most file types playback.
Newer versions of PMS either drop audio/video streams, don't populate folders, hang up, processes won't end.....and the list goes on.
Plus, half the stations in this plugin don't work, even after going thru the whole BS process.
Time to find a new media server program.

Visit your local sandwich artist if you want a leg up on the competition in Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception's multiplayer mode. You can spend the entire month of October ranking up, unlocking in-game items and acquiring Subway-themed goods—including the five dollar footlong taunt.
Whether that taunt is implied to illustrate your frugal fast food choices or describe the length of your Uncharted e-penis doesn't matter. What matters is that you're getting the opportunity to acquire an in-game submarine sandwich, unique treasure in the form of a Subway-branded plastic cup and the distinction to dress yourself like a food service employee as you slaughter other Uncharted 3 players.
Actually, the real advantage is having a full month to play Uncharted 3 multiplayer in advance of the game's street date, with your in-game progression carrying through to the retail release of the game. That's a huge lead for anyone serious about their Uncharted multiplayer, so pay attention.
"Beginning this Saturday, if you go into a local Subway Restaurant and purchase one of the specially marked Uncharted 30 oz drinks, you will receive a code that will provide you with access to the full competitive multiplayer experience throughout the month of October," explains Arne Meyer from Naughty Dog on the official PlayStation Blog.
Naughty Dog's Robert Cogburn puts on a brave face to pitch the Subway-Uncharted 3 promotion, explaining how it all works and offering a glimpse at Nathan Drake wearing a half-tucked Subway raglan in the above video.
PS3 owners without a Subway location within driving distance may want to buy a distant friend some lunch or keep an eye peeled for some download code giveaways. Hint hint!

Here are some answers to questions women often have about ovarian cancer.
The ovaries are female reproductive organs. There is one small, almond-shaped ovary on each side of the uterus. An ovary releases an egg every month in a woman who is still having her period. The ovaries also make most of the female hormones, including estrogen and progesterone. These hormones control the development of certain parts of a female, like the breasts, body shape, and body hair. They also control the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. When the ovaries stop producing estrogen and progesterone, menopause begins.
Ovarian cancer grows from cells within the ovaries. However, not all tumors found in the ovaries are cancerous. Ovarian cancer is more than one type of disease. Newer theories suggest that some cases of ovarian cancer may originate in the fallopian tubes or from the peritoneal lining.
These are the 3 main types of ovarian cancer:
Epithelial carcinoma. This is the most common kind of ovarian tumor. It makes up about 85% to 90% of ovarian cancer cases. This tumor starts in the epithelium, which is the outer layer of cells in the ovaries.
Germ cell cancer. This type starts in the cells that form eggs in the ovary. Less than 2% of ovarian cancers are germ cell cancers. This type of cancer almost always occurs in girls, teenagers, and very young women. Although potentially dangerous, it is highly curable and can usually be treated without affecting fertility.
Stromal cell cancer. This starts in the stromal cells. These cells make up the connective tissue, which holds the ovaries together. They also make female hormones. Stromal cell cancer makes up only about 1% of all ovarian cancers.
A: Certain factors can make one woman more likely to get ovarian cancer than another. These are called risk factors. Just because a woman has one or more risk factors does not mean she will get ovarian cancer.
Some risk factors are out of a woman's control while other risk factors are lifestyle choices, which can be controlled. Here are some of the possible risks for ovarian cancer:
Having two or more close relatives (mother or sister) who have had ovarian or breast cancer
Having had previous breast or colon cancer
Being older than age 55
Never having been pregnant
Being obese
Having used talcum powder on the genital area in the past
Using estrogen replacement therapy
Every woman should know about her risk factors for ovarian cancer. Some cannot be changed, such as family history and age, but others can be. For instance, taking these actions may decrease a woman's risk:
Controlling weight
Using birth control pills for several years
If you have a family history of ovarian, breast, colon, or uterine cancer, you should ask about whether you should undergo genetic counseling. There are genetic counselors who specialize in oncology. If a genetic risk is identified, there are medical and/or surgical interventions that can reduce your risk for these cancers.
The symptoms of ovarian cancer in its early stages are often subtle and could be signs of any number of other problems. These are some of the possible symptoms of ovarian cancer:
Back pain
Abdominal discomfort, bloating, or swelling
Pelvic pain
Loss of appetite, indigestion, nausea, gas, or fullness even after eating small meals
Diarrhea, constipation, or frequent urination
Vaginal bleeding (rare) or irregular periods
Shortness of breath
Unintentional weight gain or loss
These symptoms are not specific to ovarian cancer; they may be signs of other problems. A woman with these symptoms should see her doctor.
There are several ways to find out why a woman is having symptoms like those of ovarian cancer. The doctor will ask about her medical and family history and do a physical exam, which includes a pelvic exam. The doctor feels the vagina, rectum, and lower abdomen for any masses or lumps. If a mass is found, the history and physical exam alone cannot tell if it is ovarian cancer. Therefore, if a woman's pelvic exam is abnormal, she will need more tests such as:
Blood tests to check certain protein levels
If any of these tests show signs of cancer, it's likely the doctor will do a surgical biopsy to remove suspicious areas and check for cancer.
The treatments for ovarian cancer depend on the type of cancer and its stage. Surgery is used to treat all stages of ovarian cancer. In early stages of ovarian cancer, before it has spread far, surgery may be the only treatment. The doctor may take out all the reproductive organs or in some cases just the ovary. For later stages, when the cancer has spread, doctors use both chemotherapy and surgery. Today, radiation therapy is rarely used to treat ovarian cancer.
A: Many people with cancer get a second opinion from another doctor. There are many reasons to get one. Here are some of those reasons:
Not feeling comfortable with the treatment decision
Being diagnosed with a rare type of cancer
Wanting several options for how to treat the cancer
Not being able to see a cancer expert such as a gynecologic oncologist. It is very important that your particular findings be put into context by an expert. Gynecologic oncologists are subspecialists with advanced training in diagnosis, treatment and surveillance of female cancers including ovarian cancer.
Not being treated at a major medical center or special ovarian cancer treatment center
In some cases, it may help to have a second doctor review the diagnosis and treatment options before starting treatment. Some health insurance companies even require that a person with cancer seek a second opinion. Many other companies will pay for a second opinion if asked.
There are many ways to get a second opinion:
Contact the Society of Gynecologic Oncology. Women can find a doctor who specializes in ovarian cancer on the society's website.
Get in touch with the Foundation for Women's Cancer (800-444-4441), a resource created by the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists.
Ask a primary care doctor. He or she may be able to suggest a gynecologic oncologist or surgeon specializing in this disease. Sometimes these doctors work together at cancer centers or hospitals. Never be afraid to ask for a second opinion.
Call the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Information Service. The number is 800-4-CANCER (800-422-6237). They have information about treatment facilities. These include cancer centers and other programs supported by the National Cancer Institute.
Seek other options. Check with a local medical society, a nearby hospital, or medical school. Talk with women in support groups to get names of doctors who can give you a second opinion. Ask other people who've had cancer for their recommendations.
Clinical trials are studies of new kinds of cancer treatments. Doctors use clinical trials to learn how well new types of treatments work and what their side effects are. Promising treatments are ones that work better or have fewer side effects than current types of treatment. People who participate in these studies get to use new treatments before the FDA approves them. People who join trials also help researchers learn more about cancer and help future cancer patients.
Here are some resources to learn more about clinical trials:
The National Cancer Institute. Visit its website to search for clinical trials by type of cancer and location of the study.
CancerTrialsHelp.org. This site offers an interactive guide to cancer clinical trials, as well as a search engine to help you find one that's right for you.
ClinicalTrials.gov. This site has regularly updated information about federally and privately funded clinical trials for all types of diseases.

Autonomic hyperreflexia is an abnormal, overreaction of the involuntary (autonomic) nervous system to stimulation. This reaction may include:
The most common cause of autonomic hyperreflexia is spinal cord injury. The nervous system of people with this condition over-responds to the types of stimulation that do not bother healthy people.
Other causes include:
The following conditions share many symptoms with autonomic hyperreflexia, but have a different cause:
Symptoms can include any of the following:
Signs of the condition may include:
Sometimes there are no symptoms, even with a dangerous rise in blood pressure.
The doctor will do a complete nervous system and medical examination. Tell your doctor about all medications you are taking now, and that you took in the past. This will help determine which tests you need.
Tests may include:
This condition is life threatening, so it is important to quickly find and treat the problem.
A person with symptoms of autonomic hyperreflexia should:
Proper treatment depends on the cause. If medications or drugs are causing the symptoms, those drugs must be stopped. Any illness that is causing the symptoms needs to be treated. For example, the health care provider will check for a blocked urinary catheter and signs of constipation.
If a slowing of the heart rate is causing the symptoms, drugs called anticholinergics (such as atropine) may be used.
Very high blood pressure needs to be treated quickly but carefully, because the blood pressure can drop suddenly.
You may need a pacemaker for an unstable heart rhythm.
The outlook depends on the cause.
People with autonomic hyperreflexia due to medications usually recover when the medications that are causing the symptoms are stopped. When the condition is caused by other factors, recovery depends on how well the disease can be treated.
Complications may occur due to medication side effects. If the pulse rate drops severely, it can cause cardiac arrest.
Long-term, severe high blood pressure may cause seizures, bleeding in the eyes, stroke, or death.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of autonomic hyperreflexia.
To prevent autonomic hyperreflexia, avoid medications that cause this condition or make it worse.
In people with spinal cord injury, the following may also help prevent this condition:

Military suicides increased last year
Combat, transition home, downsizing among stressors
A growing number of active duty sailors, Marines and soldiers committed suicide last year, despite intensive government and community efforts to stem the war-time trend.
The result is that for the third year running, more troops took their own lives than were killed in action, according to preliminary Defense Department statistics.
The uptick coincides with more than 11 years of sustained combat and growing numbers of combat veterans with post traumatic stress disorder, which is estimated to affect one in five who served in Iraq or Afghanistan, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs' National Center for PTSD.
Yet a Pentagon report released this week indicates that less than half of military personnel who committed suicide in 2011 had deployed for those wars and only about 15 percent were involved in direct combat.
In addition to combat, a complex array of stressors is squeezing service members, with military downsizing and poor civilian job prospects playing a growing role, medical personnel and advocates said.
The number of Navy suicides spiked last year to a record high of 60, up from 52 in 2011 and 39 in 2010, the Navy reported. The 2011 number reflected a suicide rate of 14.6 per 100,000 active duty sailors. (Suicide rates among the services for 2012 have not been released yet.)
The Navy is trimming its active duty ranks to 320,000 by 2014, down from 359,373 in 2006 and 325,700 last year. The cuts included a first-ever layoff last year of nearly 3,000 mid-career troops.
Regarding military suicides, "there's been a lot of focus on the combat stress that's involved with infantry Marines fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. But there's really been another kind of stress that's been impacting more so our Navy, which is just the operational stress — do more with less," said Navy Capt. Scott Johnston, a clinical psychologist and director of the Naval Center for Combat and Operational Stress Control, in San Diego.
Amid the manpower reductions, "They are certainly not cutting back on the amount of deployments that the Navy is involved in, so I think that is indeed increasing stress within our sailors," Johnston said.
In 2009, when 52 Marines took their own lives, the Corps reported the highest suicide rate among the armed services — 24 per 100,000. The next year the number of Marines who attempted suicide climbed to a new high of 172, but the number of actual suicides dropped to 37 in 2010 and 32 in 2011.
Last year Marine suicides spiked again to 48, the second highest number since the war in Afghanistan began in 2001; and a new high of 179 Marines attempted suicide.
The Army has not released December figures, but the 2012 tally through November of 177 active duty suicides was already higher than the 167 in all of 2011 — reflecting a rate of 22.2, the highest in the military.
Last year 176 soldiers and 44 Marines were killed in action in the Afghanistan war, fewer than the suicide toll.
Because of the stigma against asking for help and the fear of career repercussions, the Corps has mandated yearly "Never Leave a Marine Behind" suicide prevention training for all Marines.
Almost three-quarters of troops who commit suicide do not inform others they are thinking about harming themselves, according to the latest Department of Defense Suicide Event Report. In light of that, the military trains troops to be vigilant for signs of suicidal tendencies among comrades.
"We know there is a very strong ethos in combat that you would never leave your buddy behind. You would do whatever you have to, to save their life while in combat. We need to have that same mentality in garrison and back home," Johnston said. "What we really have found is these are typically not impulsive acts. There usually are warning signs."
Marines and sailors are told to look for predictors of potentially suicidal behavior such as the end of a marriage or romantic relationship, legal problems, financial problems, substance abuse and a history of mental health problems. More specific red flags include giving away material possessions, saying goodbye and talk of death and dying.
Bill Rider, chief executive and cofounder of American Combat Veterans of War, facilitates weekly Safe Warrior Outreach discussions in Oceanside near the Camp Pendleton Marine base. He encounters service members and young veterans daily who have attempted suicide.
The problem with "buddy aid" prevention programs is Marines are reluctant to out a friend who is thinking of harming oneself, Rider said.
"Infantry Marines, 0311's, that's a brotherhood. They're not going to snitch anybody out. They'll try to do it themselves, try to help them. Sometimes they succeed, quite honestly, but sometimes they don't," said Rider, a Marine veteran of the Khe Sanh battle during the Vietnam War.
Many young veterans come home from war and begin abusing drugs or alcohol, hoping to numb their feelings or feel alive again after coming down from the adrenaline rush of combat. They often have trouble reintegrating with their families and the civilian world, especially if they leave the service with its camaraderie and steady paycheck.
"Here you are, you went to war and you killed the enemy and performed wonderfully. And now you have some very human moments, feelings and emotions," Rider said. "It is a perfect storm because a lot of them haven't been reporting their psychological problems, their alienation if you will, because of the very fact that the services will seize on that to make them part of the downgrade and let them go."
The official Marine Corps suicide prevention program counsels that "leaders teach that knowing when to seek help for stress is a trait of a strong, committed Marine."
Nevertheless, many service members are fearful about being forced out of the military for psychological problems. "That is devastating for Marines and soldiers and corspmen who want to stay in," Rider said.
The military suicide rate is usually lower than the civilian rate (adjusted for comparable demographics), but both rates have been rising in recent years. The rate for civilian males 25 to 64 years old was 21.27 suicides per 100,000 in 2000; in 2009 it was 25.37 suicides per 100,000, the Centers for Disease Control reported.
In 2009 the Marine Corps rate jumped above the civilian rate for the first time in years. Based on the number of Marine suicides in 2012, last year's rate will likely be near or above the civilian rate once again.

The growing popularity of yoga teacher trainings may make them more accessible, but how do you know which training is right for you? Rachel Nelson, certified yoga teacher and co-owner of Revolution Power Yoga in Eagle-Vail, said it's not about knowing, but about doing.
"To do a teacher training, you really don't need to know anything about yoga," said Nelson, who will be leading an upcoming program at Revolution Power Yoga. "And that's what's so amazing about teacher-training by doing it, you learn."
The upcoming 200-hour yoga teacher training will be held at Revolution Power Yoga for four sessions a week, from April 17 through June 8. Students will meet every Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings and most of the day on Saturday.
Nelson said the training and certification program will give students the tools, hands-on experience and confidence to teach an authentic, powerful and inspiring power vinyasa yoga class, based upon the teachings of Baron Baptiste. She said the program is for students and teachers of all levels and will focus on all aspects of teaching and living through the principles of yoga within a contemporary context and language. "Through hours of practice teaching and hands-on assisting, the practical skills you will acquire are immediately applicable and you will leave the training ready to teach," Nelson said. "You learn the alignment, the knowledge, the philosophy, and you learn how to teach a powerful class."
Nelson said students who are interested in participating should keep in mind that it will be both a physically and emotionally demanding program.
"It will require a strong commitment and personal sacrifice, as well as the support of the student's primary support network," Nelson said.
Interested students must be at least 18 years old and hold a high school diploma or its equivalent. Nelson said applicants must also have: a deep desire to learn, a coachable attitude and be free of major injuries going into the program.
"Doing a teacher training will change your life in ways that you would never imagine," Nelson said. "You'll see yourself in a new way, and it will change how you interact with others and the world."
For more information and to apply, call Revolution Power Yoga at 970-748-3176 or email Rachel Nelson at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The world's tallest building, out of time Feb 03 2010
Martin Becka and Cedric Delsaux are a pair of photographers who feature Burj Dubai in their work. Becka's Burj comes from his Dubai, Transmutations project in which he uses the photogravure processing technique to make images of brand-new Dubai that look as though they were taken in 1880.
Delsaux's Burj image comes from a project called The Dark Lens, which features images of Star Wars characters populating the circa-2008 Earth. I believe that's the Millennium Falcon docking at the Burj:

UNIONDALE, N.Y. — The Sharks will face Evgeni Nabokov for the first time since they bid their longtime goaltender good-bye in 2010 on Saturday night when San Jose continues its road trip against the New York Islanders.
The teams have met twice since Nabokov continued his NHL career with the Islanders, but on both occasions he was sidelined by an injury.
"It's been awhile now since Nabby was a Shark," coach Todd McLellan said. "We're all aware — even the young players who didn't play with Nabby — of his history with the hockey club and we're proud of it. In some sense we still feel attached to him, but he is the opposing goalie tonight and we'll do everything we can to try and beat him."
At the other end of the ice will be Antti Niemi, the goalie who ended up inheriting Nabokov's job when he became a free agent and the Sharks decided not to offer him a new contract.
Patrick Marleau, a teammate of Nabokov's said the Sharks would try to have some fun with the goalie who played 563 games for them between 1999 and 2010 and still holds most of San Jose's goaltending records.
But he noted that both sides know the others' tricks, so it's hard to say who might have an advantage.
San Jose will be looking for its fifth consecutive victory and to keep pace with the Anaheim Ducks, who play the Colorado Avalanche later in the evening. The teams are tied at the top of the Pacific Division with 93 points, though the Sharks have played one more game.
"We've worked hard to close the gap, to get to this point and we'd like to continue on," McLellan said. "We don't want to give ourselves permission to take a day off and we're well aware some of the non-playoff teams we've played against, we haven't had success with. We're hoping to change that tonight."

OAKLAND -- It's hardly a revelation that the Warriors face an awesome task trying to beat the Los Angeles Clippers in the Western Conference playoffs without center Andrew Bogut. A lot of experts are already saying Golden State doesn't have a chance.
But if experience counts for anything, the Warriors at least have a man replacing Bogut who has sizable playoff assets in his career account. Jermaine O'Neal has played in 90 postseason games, almost double that of any player on either team, and this will be his 14th trip -- more times than the two franchises combined have even been to the playoffs over the previous 35 years.
Of course, O'Neal is 35 years old now, not the player he once was, and he faces the unenviable challenge of going up against a front line featuring Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan, two young, strong and high-flying athletic players who have to be licking their chops knowing they don't have to worry about Bogut banging and bullying their midsections in the paint.
But O'Neal is not backing away from the assignment. Since this postseason very well could be his last hurrah as an NBA player, he's looking for an exclamation point to a great career.
"I've been through this before, so I know what it takes," he said Thursday. "The best thing for me, there's no back-to-backs. I can prepare, get my body right and focus for the next game. I'm excited. If you can't relish these types of opportunities, I don't know that you're a competitor at this particular level."
O'Neal has played in only 44 games this year. He missed 25 straight games after December surgery on his right wrist. He's missed games with a right foot contusion, bruises to both knees, and also missed time with a groin strain. But he's made it to the finish line, ready for what he initially signed with the Warriors for -- a playoff run.
Coach Mark Jackson hasn't decided if he'll start O'Neal in Bogut's place or go with a smaller lineup utilizing second-year forward Draymond Green in the post alongside power forward David Lee. But Jackson noted the team would use both combinations and that O'Neal surely will see heavy minutes.
"I'm sure it means a lot to him," Jackson said. "He's a guy who's given us everything in his tank. He's a proud guy who's had a tremendous career, and to be on a huge stage against an outstanding team with bigs that are going to challenge him, I would think he would feel there's no better way to close it out."
O'Neal, who hasn't said for certain he'll retire after this season -- his 17th in the NBA -- isn't framing it that way.
"I haven't thought much about this being my last playoffs," he said. "My thought process is making sure my mind, body and soul are ready to compete in a very intense environment. You know the world is watching, so you want to give your fan base and your team something they can be proud of."
Taking on an additional load is just part of the deal in the postseason, he added.
"Everybody on this team has to do more anyway," he said. "That's what the playoffs are about. You have to elevate your game to another level, and the only difference now is I'm going to have to play more minutes right away. Those types of things don't affect me. I have a job to do, I expect to do it well, and that's my personal challenge."
Might the Clippers underestimate what damage O'Neal might do?
"Not a lot of people expected what he was able to provide for us the whole year, so it's kind of the same narrative," said Stephen Curry.
"Just dealing with the emotions of it," he said. "The first time, you're so amped up and you have to learn to value each possession. That's the lesson we learned against the Spurs. We outplayed them for almost three games and only got one win out of it. So you have to finish games out, play a full 48 minutes at both ends of the floor and really know your opponent well and what their strengths are."
"It was great for him to get a rhythm," the coach said. "Obviously, offensively he got it going. Defensively, he looked like himself. It only makes us a better basketball team, because we need him to play at that level."
"He flares his arm around so you know you might catch a random elbow or something that doesn't, you know, rub off too well on guys," Thompson said on 95.7 The Game. "He's kind of like a bull in a china shop, kind of out of control sometimes."
Griffin was asked for his reaction. "This isn't my thing," Griffin told reporters Thursday. "I play basketball. I don't want to get into a back-and-forth. I think we're ready to play. Sounds like they are too. It's going to be exciting."

6 Prettiest Replacements for the Tired Topknot
Ta-ta for now, topknot! Here are the 2013 hairstyle trends that everyone is wearing instead
Skip ahead to see 6 Topknot Alternatives.
Then, 2013 hit and celebrities were officially over the trend. In fact, the only star to wear a topknot during this year's award season was Jennifer Lopez at the Grammy's. Needless to say, after three months of lots of loose waves and low buns, I received the message loud and clear: It was time to retire my own topknot.
But what to wear instead? The genius of the topknot is that it's as simple as a ponytail yet it has a certain sophisticated, polished look. True, a French twist is always classy -- but it also takes too much time to create. So, I scoured red carpet pics from recent Hollywood events and discovered how celebrities are dealing with the end of the topknot. Naturally, I found countless easy hairstyle ideas that'll keep you on-trend. Keep clicking to see my top six favorite replacements for the topknot.

Cute new "up dos" for the hair. However, they look time consuming and difficult to do if you don't have someone helping you with the braiding on back of your head. There needs to extra time allowed to do these styles, they are not something the average woman can do in 10 minutes of less. My hair is down to my waist, I spend at least 10 minutes combing it out and another few minutes to adjust a barrette or two.

After looking for a few months for semi sheer yet casual curtains for a large room with lots of windows that had a lot of glare from the sun, I saw these and liked the look. Perfect: the wavy wrinkles give them personality, when closed they do the job for sun glare and when open and tied they let the sun in ( a necessity for the Seattle area much of the year.) The wrinkles do cut down on stated width a bit, so I got a few extra panels and it works fine, plus easy to untie/tie and take down/put up. The natural color is very nice.
These window coverings are perfect for a small space that you don't want to overwhelm with dark curtains. They're lightweight, wispy, and understated.
Granddaughter loved the curtains when she opened her birthday present. Couldn't wait to hang them
I liked these curtains so much I just ordered more. They let the light in while protecting my privacy.
I wanted some inexpensive but good looking and extremely functional curtains for a big sliding door and awindow in my bedroom. I purchased the yellow curtains for the door. I snipped off the cloth loops and used ring clips to attach them to the curtain rods. The way the curtains hang at the door they bunch slightly and create an interesting pattern of light and color. At the windows, I used some white voile curtains in the middle, and yellow at either side, to let in light while providing a privacy shield. They were excellent choices for me.
The curtains are really pretty. What is great is that they don't cast a yellow hue when the sunlight shines through. My only complaint is that because they are crinkled they are narrower than expected. I needed to order almost double what I thought I would need to cover my large sliding glass windows.
The other reviewers are correct: these are beautiful curtains. The price CANNOT be beat. They are airy and the crinkle adds a beautiful texture to my bedroom, it was exactly what I was looking for and a fraction of what I thought I would spend. I am smitten!
These caught my eye a long time ago. I love how they are minimally packaged in a cotton bag instead of a plastic one. They are also so simple, machine washable, and tie at the top. I get a lot of sunlight in my apartment, and I would say these let 50% of the light through. So instead of bright light, it's a soft glow. I was afraid that the crinkle would look messy, but it looks fine, especially after a few days. I needed two for each window; because of the crinkle these aren't their full 40" width. I would like to see these style curtains come in even more colors/patterns!
I bought four for my house and am on this website to order more because I love them so much, they're so simple but pretty at the same time, and looked even better than I thought they would!

The adventure of a lifetime is in store for 275 people who have been offered permits in the world-class New Hampshire moose hunt, October 20–28, 2012. They are the lucky winners in the NH Fish and Game Department's annual moose hunt permit lottery.
Moose hunting permits are offered to successful lottery applicants following a random computer-generated drawing in June. Your odds of winning improve every consecutive year you apply, thanks to a bonus point system. Entering the lottery costs just $15 for residents and $25 for nonresidents. The odds of winning are some of the best in the nation! Permit holders may select one person of any age to join them on the moose hunt. The NH moose hunt success rate averages 65 percent statewide, and much higher in northern areas.
New Hampshire has had an annual moose hunt since 1988, thanks to the recovery of the state's moose populations. The availability of moose hunting permits, with some issued for every area of the state during the nine-day season, is made possible by careful management of moose populations. The resulting sustainable annual harvest of moose helps to regulate moose numbers and provides a unique recreational opportunity for sportsmen and women.
Why not try your luck? Applications for the 2013 NH moose hunt lottery will be available in late January 2013; watch www.huntnh.com for your chance to apply online or by mail.
For license/permit fees, success rates by region and WMU, a photo gallery of past hunts, and Q&As on the moose hunt and the lottery, visit www.huntnh.com.

La Crosse (WEAU) - Oktoberfest spokesperson Tina Severson says the City of La Crosse didn't give them a lot of time to come up with 18 thousand dollars for parade fees.
"Right now were assessing the 18 thousand dollar fee from the Police Department in la Crosse. We need to match those funds, or we will not have the parades," said Severson.
City council president Audrey Kader says that the 18 thousand dollars doesn't come close to what the actual costs are for policing the parades.
"They're charging for 42 officers on duty, even though there will be 66 actually working the parade. For the 2011 Oktoberfest weekend it was over 151 thousand dollars that directly cost the city," said Kader.
Both Kader and the Mayor say they don't want to see the parades cancled, but that the city has a right to be charging for their expenses.
"It's necessary to charge back and legitimate to charge back. We have to protect the interest of the tax paying citizens," said Kader.
"I hope that before any decision is made there can be a line of communication," said Mayor Harter.
The Maple Leaf parade has been going on for 51 years. It brings in thousands of spectators and will be sorely missed if it doesn't happen this year.
"If they don't have the parades it'll make a big difference. That was the beginning and the end, the Maple Leaf parade and the Torchlight parade," said Deanna Jordan, a previous Oktoberfest parade spectator.
"If there is no parade then people don't get a feel of what Oktoberfest really is about," said Christina Brugger a previous parade spectator.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- In the next couple of months, Comcast will have to let dozens of employees go.
Almost 80 employees will be out of a job when the layoffs kick in sometime between May 3 and May 16.
But it's a move to help you, and in the end, maybe some of those workers, too.
"Things happen," said Jhantzin Cuiler.
And it's happening to 68 people at the Comcast Call Center on River Shoals Parkway. Another 11 who work off-site will also get a pink slip.
"All this money you're making, why are you taking our jobs away?" Cuiler said. "We need jobs in Augusta."
Cuiler has been with the company for a year and a half.
"I didn't plan to make a living, but it was a start, and I did kind of see myself advancing here with Comcast," Cuiler explained. "Which, they are giving me the chance to do that."
Cuiler and the other laid-off workers can apply to transfer within the company. Leaders say right now, there are 270 open positions just in Georgia.
The company will also help with moving expenses as part of a relocation package.
"At least they're giving me something, there just not kicking you out [of] the door, so it does help -- every little bit helps," Cuiler said.
Those who don't transfer will get a severance package.
"A lot of people up there have got families. Unlike me, I only have to take care of myself," Cuiler said. "You've got people that have been there for 30 ... 25 years."
"They need their job," he said."It's gonna be hard for them to find something else."
As for customers, Comcast says this will actually help service because a larger center will now handle your calls.
A Comcast rep tells News 12 the move is to "provide more specialized customer support."
Cuiler loved his job but won't be transferring. He plans to go back to school.
"It's a living, and it can feed your family," Cuiler said. "Working here through Comcast [has] provided so many ways that you could advance yourself, but [that will] all be taken away now."

BERKELEY -- California's economy and retiring baby boomers are stoking a growing demand for trained workers the state hopes to fill by handing out $250 million in grants for job training programs at the high school and community college level.
The state Department of Education started taking letters of intent and grant applications Tuesday for the money approved by Gov. Jerry Brown last summer. The one-time pot of money will go to school districts and community colleges that collaborate with local businesses to train students for jobs in a variety of industries including health care, manufacturing, biotechnology, aerospace, agricultural technology, energy and computer science.
During a news conference on the California Career Pathways Trust Tuesday, state Sen. Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said California is devoting the most money to this kind of program than any other state and $150 million more than a recently announced $100 million federal program.
"Our economy is growing and there are job opportunities, but there aren't enough educated and trained workers to fill them," Steinberg said during the news conference with state Schools Chief Tom Torlakson. "We're seeking California industries to partner with community colleges and put forward multimillion dollar applications that will establish pathways to careers."
The state will award 10 grants up to $15 million each, 15 grants up to $6 million each and 15 grants up to $600,000 each. Schools wanting a piece of the action have until March 28 to apply and if they win a grant, they can start spending the money July 1, Torlakson said.
The grants will be a way of keeping kids motivated and away from drugs and gangs, Steinberg said. Starting an apprenticeship program in high school with the understanding that the student will go on to a community college for more training is a way of showing kids that their coursework actually applies to something useful in the future, he said.
"We don't want to sacrifice academic rigor, but it will be combined with real world experience," he said. "There is no reason we can't develop 10 different ways to teach subjects that are often dry and don't relate to the real world."

The spring transformation from waterfowl hunter to turkey hunter happens in a whirlwind of lightweight camouflage and bug spray. No strangers to bottomland hardwoods, sloughs and swamps, duck hunters switch out choke tubes, calls and decoys in pursuit of bigger game. The tactics are significantly different, but waterfowl hunters may find themselves in familiar habitats.
There are only two species of wild turkeys in the world: the North American wild turkey (which is separated into five subspecies: eastern, Osceola, Rio Grande, Merriam's and Gould's) and the ocellated wild turkey (which is found in Mexico). Both turkey species regularly utilize wetland habitats at some point in their life cycle.
While turkey populations have soared to an estimated 7 million birds, habitat conservation and management will be essential to maintain these numbers. Ducks Unlimited partners with the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) on projects throughout the United States to provide habitat that benefits waterfowl and turkeys alike.
The Platte River in Nebraska is well known for its abundant waterfowling opportunities in the fall and spectacular spring migrations. DU's work in this region is providing vital habitat for wild turkeys as well.
"DU's conservation easements along the Platte River protect large tracts of contiguous habitat that will not be subdivided or developed," explains Jonas Davis, DU regional biologist in Nebraska and Kansas. "Land protection of the floodplain certainly benefits turkeys by reducing fragmentation and ensuring riparian habitats remain intact in perpetuity. Many of the DU projects along the river include wetland and grassland restoration, and these grasslands provide a habitat type needed by turkeys for brood rearing and foraging for insects."
Turkeys are extremely adaptable and utilize wetlands in several ways. While turkeys use wetlands differently depending on the region and time of year, Mark Hatfield, NWTF director of conservation planning, explains that turkey hunters in some areas should focus on wetlands.
"Turkeys need trees; there's no doubt about that," Hatfield says. "This makes bottomland hardwoods in riparian habitats extremely important. Turkeys have excellent vision during the day, but at night they are vulnerable to a number of predators. Many times turkeys will roost in wetlands, sloughs or green-tree reservoirs above water because this adds a layer of security."
Farm Bill conservation programs such as the Wetlands Reserve Program and Conservation Reserve Program have benefited waterfowl and turkey populations since their inception. These restoration and protection programs provide key habitat for a variety of wildlife. DU and its partners are currently working to maintain funding for these programs at adequate levels to support healthy populations of waterfowl, turkeys, and other wildlife species now and in the future.
Managed moist-soil habitats, which are typically flooded in the fall, provide excellent foraging habitat for migrating and wintering waterfowl. In the spring, when these habitats are drawn down, a variety of vegetation flourishes in the damp, rich soil. Turkeys regularly feed in most-soil habitats in the spring, so hunters shouldn't overlook them when the season opens.
Familiar waterfowling territory may be a starting point this spring, and understanding turkey behavior in these habitats is important.
Hatfield explains that when hunting in wetland habitats such as sloughs or swamps, it is important to use a topographical map. Turkeys will be on, or near, the highest ground in the area.
"I've actually seen turkeys wading through a shallow wetland or flooded bottomland, but generally they are going to use the high ground for roosting or feeding," he says. "The hens will be seeking out insects this time of year and there's a good chance a gobbler will be looking for those hens."

The call for papers just went out for this years
OttawaMontreal Linux Symposium.
After ten years in the same place, it should be interesting to see how things work out in a different city.
For the nth year, I ended up as one of the suckers on the program committee. It's always interesting to see the complete set of talks that get proposed. It's also a bit of a bummer when ones you really wanted to see didn't make the cut (and sometimes when ones you hated the proposal of do make the cut).

"New Coke" was launched by the Coca-Cola company on April 23rd, 1985. Despite winning several blind taste tests, public outcry led it to eventually being replaced with the old formula, re-labeled as "Coca-Cola Classic." It survived as "Coke II" in limited markets for a few years after.
On April 23, 1985 Coca-Cola announced that it was changing its soft-drink 99 year old formula.
The move came as coke faced an increasing challenge from Pepsi.
Coke's secret formula had been changed once before, but was not accompanied by such publicity and fanfare.
The company held celebrations throughout the country introducing the altered product.
New Coke was said to be sweeter and less fizzy - with an overall more harmonious flavor.
Officials said the old formula would be returned to an Atlanta bank vault, never to be used again, but three months later, old Coke was brought back, after outraged by coca-cola lovers launched a successful campaign.
Old coke was remarketed as Coca-Cola classic and has since sold much better than New Coke.

TAHOE CITY, Calif. — Next year, North Lake Tahoe will host the first full-distance Ironman event in California since 2001, officials announced Friday.
The event will take place Sept. 22, 2013, according to a press release from Pettit Gilwee Public Relations, sent on behalf of the North Lake Tahoe Resort Association.
"Lake Tahoe's natural beauty and experience in hosting world-class endurance events have made it one of the world's most appealing sports destinations," said Steve Meckfessel, managing director of Global Race Operations for World Triathlon Corporation, owner and operator of the Ironman series, in a statement. "The launch of a full-distance (Ironman) event in California has been a long-time coming. We're confident this race will instantly develop into a cornerstone of the global (Ironman) series."
It's also a shot in the arm for the Tahoe economy during a slower time of year, said Andy Chapman, chief marketing officer of the North Lake Tahoe Chamber/CVB/Resort Association, the host destination and an official sponsor of Ironman Lake Tahoe.
"We estimate the total economic impact to the region to be approximately $8 (million) to $15 million over the course of the event," Chapman said in a statement. "More than 2,500 athletes are expected to take part with each bringing three to four guests and staying five to six nights."
The Ironman Lake Tahoe contract is a multi-year deal, Chapman said, and the Ironman series also "plays well with North Lake Tahoe's human-powered branding campaign that encourages visitors to experience the area firsthand whether by getting out on regional trails or via the lake," according to the press release.
Ironman Lake Tahoe will start with a two-loop, 2.4-mile swim in the lake in Kings Beach. Athletes will enjoy a lakeside transition before starting a two-loop, 112-mile bike course along the lake into Tahoe City, before following the Truckee River past Squaw Valley and into Truckee.
From there, the course turns south back toward Lake Tahoe, has a short loop in Martis Camp, continues past Northstar California and climbs to Brockway Summit. After a descent back down to Kings Beach, athletes will complete a second loop, and then a final, flat 17 miles finish the bike course at Squaw Valley.
With a transition at the Village at Squaw Valley, runners will proceed along the Truckee River bike path into Tahoe City, and continue south to a turnaround in Homewood, before finishing back at the Village at Squaw Valley.
Ironman Lake Tahoe offers a $75,000 prize purse. Additionally, the race will offer 50 age group slots to the 2014 Ironman World Championship taking place Oct. 11, 2014.
Registration for the inaugural Ironman Lake Tahoe opens Monday, June 18, at noon PST on www.ironmanlaketahoeCA.com. For information, visit www.ironman.com.

Korean Oil Buyers to Halt North Sea Price Slide
From Bloomberg
By Rupert Rowling
South Korean tax-free purchases of North Sea Forties crude are poised to stem the slide in prices as the supply of Western Europe's most abundant oil jumps to the highest level in almost a year.
The flow of oil to the Asian nation will keep Forties at a premium to Dated Brent, the global benchmark grade, for the next two months, all but three of 10 traders and analysts surveyed this week by Bloomberg News said. The spread has dropped 55 percent since reaching an 11-month high on Jan. 9. Production in February will climb to 407,143 barrels a day, the most since March, a loading schedule obtained by Bloomberg News showed.
"It has become harder and harder to bet on the downside of North Sea grades," Olivier Jakob, managing director at Zug, Switzerland-based Petromatrix GmbH, said Jan. 8 by phone. "As soon as the market weakens, it opens up the flow to Korea."
North Sea crude is being exported at an unprecedented rate to South Korea after the nation signed a free-trade agreement with the European Union in 2011. Forties is the largest of the four grades that make up Dated Brent and, as the cheapest, typically acts as a price guide for producers from Russia to Saudi Arabia.
Forties loading in 10 to 25 days was 70 cents a barrel more expensive than Dated Brent yesterday, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. It was at a $1.55 premium on Jan. 9, the most since March 9, compared with an average of 16 cents last year.
For two of those questioned in the Bloomberg survey, the effect of exports to Korea will be neutral. A third, David Wech, the managing director at Vienna-based JBC Energy GmbH, said Forties may trade temporarily below Dated Brent.

'The Strain' Pilot Episode, 'Night Zero': TV Recap
After months of ominous promotion — including images of worms penetrating eyeballs — "The Strain," which is being overseen by "Lost" and "Bates Motel" mastermind Carlton Cuse, has finally debuted on FX. The pilot episode offers a promising, if somewhat shaky, start to what will hopefully turn out to be gripping horror saga.
One thing is certain: Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline," which serves as the soundtrack to a scene featuring several stinger-tongued vampires attacking a medical examiner, is forever ruined for me. Not even the crowd at Fenway Park could turn me off that song before. So bravo to Guillermo Del Toro ("Pacific Rim," "Pan's Labyrinth"), who directed the pilot.
To set the scene: A plane lands in New York City carrying mysterious cargo, specifically a great wooden chest packed with earth and teeming with ravenous worms. Inside the box is the Master (embodied by the towering French Canadian actor Robert Maillet), an ancient vampire who has come from Europe to set in motion a grand conspiracy by aging plutocrat Eldritch Palmer (Jonathan Hyde). Or is it The Master's conspiracy? What's the plan, anyway? It's not clear yet, but you can bet it isn't going to be pretty for the human race.
On the side of the good guys are Ephraim Goodweather (Corey Stoll, wearing a hairpiece for some reason), a top dog at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, along with Nora Martinez (Mia Maestro). They don't know exactly what's going on when a they encounter a "dead" plane at the airport and discover everyone inside, save for four people, mysteriously deceased and with no signs of why.
Meanwhile, Abraham Setrakian (David Bradley), a shopkeeper who survived the Holocaust, is roused by the events at the airport and the ensuing paranoia. He knows what's happening. He knows the Master is here. He's ready. Setrakian gives the story its heart, both figuratively and literally. He keeps — and feeds — the bloodworm-infected heart of his wife in a jar, giving the series an instantly indelible image.
Series co-creators Del Toro and Chuck Hogan, who also wrote the source novels, peg their overall story to themes of family and love — and how the evil of the Master corrupts them. It's here where the story has its most potential, particularly as people who have been turned into vampires return home to their loved ones. Since we're introduced to workaholic Eph's fractured family, and the family of gangbanger Gus Elizalde (Miguel Gomez), who reluctantly helps Palmer's plot unfold despite not knowing the endgame, we can see where the story is going on a personal level.
It's in these family scenes where "The Strain" falters, though. You get the sense that the actors aren't quite comfortable enough with their characters to really engage — and, honestly, improve — the melodramatic material. Hopefully, the series finds its groove here.
"The Strain's" pilot works best when Del Toro gets to indulge his taste for the weird and macabre by staging scenes of suspense and horror. There's a real sense of dread surrounding the Master's doings, whether he's spiriting away his coffin in a brief flash on security video or crushing the head of an airport employee. As Eph and Nora investigate the scene, and discover the bloodworms, you can feel their bewilderment and horror at what has happened.
It takes until the end of the episode for the horror and melodrama to come together. It's a poignant scene of a father being reunited with his daughter. Unfortunately for dad, she's dead. And hungry.

Voted #1 Nutrient Partitioning Agent!*"
It's very simple... their bodies are predisposed to process nutrients more efficiently, and this assists to shuttle nutrients to their muscle cells & away from their fat cells... so they are always jacked and ripped, no matter what they eat or do. They have almost perfect insulin sensitivity, nutrient partitioning ability and high rate of protein synthesis...
Basically, the bodies of genetic freaks tend-to promote a muscle-building, fat-burning anabolic state... While the rest of us spend our days in a muscle-wasting, fat-storing catabolic state, even if you eat protein every few hours and do everything right... It sucks, but it's the truth...
Not to worry, not all hope is lost...
There's a protein-transporter hormone called GLUT4 that lays dormant in the middle of every muscle and fat cell in your body. It just sits there minding its own business until it's activated by weight training, or dietary intake...
When GLUT4 is activated, it comes to the surface of the muscle cell and begins to suck in mass-building glucose like an industrial-sized vacuum!
This is better known as the "Post Workout Window of Opportunity" - where all of the magic happens - as your body is in a super-anabolic state, absorbing nutrients, building muscle and burning fat. This is the only "window" the natural guy has. Mess this up and you don't have a prayer.
Unfortunately, even if you take a post-workout shake, GLUT4 only comes to the surface of the cell & remains active for a short period, and then it goes back into hibernation...
What if you could increase GLUT4 activation outside of the pathetically-short post-workout period?
As a Hardgainer, one reason it's difficult to put on muscle mass is because nutrients have a hard time being delivered to your muscle cells. It's that simple. The reality is your muscle cells may only be getting a few measly grams of protein, even when you take in large amounts. The majority of that protein (and other nutrients) never reach your muscle tissue.
THAT'S why gaining muscle mass is nearly impossible for you!
You see, hardgainers can get very little GLUT4 activation, so you almost never have a window to gain muscle, even post-workout! No wonder those pre, intra & post workout shakes aren't doing jack for you!
Put On Bodyfat Easily? WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT TO GET RIPPED - WHILE STAYING BIG & STRONG!
Unlike the genetic freaks who get all of their nutrients delivered to their muscle cells - OR the hardgainers who have difficulty getting nutrients delivered - most of the nutrients you consume, especially carbs, get stored right into your fat cells...
While, at least you can get bigger & stronger... you don't have as much head-turning muscle definition as you'd like... Listen, I'm not trying to come down on you, just giving you the absolute truth so you can do something about it!
So, wouldn't it be great if nutrients could be shuttled into muscle cells and away from fat cells... [4] THAT my friend, is the power of GLUT4 activation...
A constituent of a key ingredient in Anabolic-Pump has been shown in vitro (utilizing animal skeletal muscle) to increase GLUT4 up to threefold or more!
We believe, based upon studies in animal models and animal cells/tissue, this key constituent may activate GLUT4 in muscle cells—allowing carbohydrates to be delivered to muscle cells . [1-5 ]
Give yourself a shot. After all you spend so much time training, eating right, educating yourself…Why wouldn't you stack the cards in your favor? Honestly, there's no good reason not to…
Fact is, the longer period of time GLUT4 is activated, the better chance you have at developing the physique you want. This is your only shot at being on the same playing field as the freaks...
You owe it to yourself to give something with such great potential a shot. After all you spend so much time training, eating right, educating yourself...Why wouldn't you want to stack the cards in your favor? Honestly, there's no good reason not to...
