Committed recruit should study options
Can you blame Fred Warner? I can't.
Last week, the Mission Hills High linebacker — a four-star recruit according to ESPN — scheduled and took an official visit to USC. Originally scheduled for two weeks earlier, the trip was postponed so that Warner could participate in a high school all-star game.
No harm, no foul, right?
Not necessarily.
In April, Warner orally committed to BYU, withdrawing himself from the recruiting market.
"I loved the atmosphere there," said Warner, whose mother attended BYU for a time. "I loved the coaches. And the players really seem to have a brotherhood. Plus, BYU's two outside linebackers are seniors, so there is a great opportunity to play as a freshman."
By no means did Warner put ink to paper. National Signing Day is Wednesday. That's when most recruits sign and fax their letters of intent, sealing their collegiate futures.
Nonetheless, he did make a commitment. And that should weigh heavily; a school saves a scholarship for the recruit, ensuring his spot in the class.
Unfortunately, in many cases, it means little.
"It's along the lines of, 'This is my number one school right now,' " said Greg Biggins, a national recruiting analyst for Scout.com. "I don't want to use the word 'epidemic,' but a verbal commitment means nothing."
Other schools fail to honor non-binding commitments; they continue to recruit such prospects just as aggressively, hoping to manipulate, persuade, then swipe players like Warner away from the schools they committed to.
Last fall, months after he committed, Warner received heavier interest from Nebraska, USC, Washington, Arizona, Arizona State, California, Colorado, UCLA, Washington State, Utah and Boise State. He blossomed into an elite linebacker — 37th in the nation at his position, according to one service.
In many cases, orally committed recruits entertain pitches and take official visits to schools either to complete the once-in-a-lifetime experience of being recruited, or to have fun and get wined and dined.
Warner's case differs, I'm told.
He may entertain pitches from the dozens of schools that want him in their program for four years, but he's selective in official visits because none of the extra stuff piques his interest.
"It's a businesslike approach," said ESPN.com reporter Blair Angulo, who covers USC football recruiting. "(Fred) is assessing every option. He's making sure he does his due diligence and chooses a school that best fits him."
A respectable, intelligent approach from an intelligent kid.
That's not to say Warner is right for courting other schools. He gave his word to BYU. But he has earned the right to consider these late options and make the best decision for his future.
The kid worked his tail off last season to become the player he is today, which brought about more "prestigious" scholarship offers than he or anyone else may have thought possible.
I'm sure when Warner committed, he believed the process was over. But he would be crazy not to at least listen to schools that came late to the party.
This is his future, after all.

The monkey chomper is a sexual act in which, while fornicating, the male bites down (chomps) on a woman's throat, slicing into her jugular vein. Then while she is lying there bleeding to death, he poops in his hand and flings the feces at her, like a monkey.
I was feeling kinky last night, so I performed a monkey chomper.

How many Alzheimer's patients does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Comments On This Anti Joke
- dude... my mom has alzeimers.... so i told her the first half of the joke and she said "who's there" you really called that one
- This is a real joke - doesn't belong on anti-joke. It isn't very funny as it has been done to death, but it is a traditional joke that uses a cliched non-sequitor as its punchline.
- this joke is hilarious, and everyone who thinks it is offensive shouldnt even be on antijoke cause you guys have no sense of humor
- This is a real joke!!!!! Why is this here?
- Wow I submitted this joke a while back and never expected it to get this many likes. Of course its possible that I'm not the only one who did but damn. And to those who think it's offensive: why are you looking for jokes if you are that sensitive? If I had alzheimer's but could still get it I wouldn't be offended.
- This is funny, but is not an anti-joke at all, it's just a regular joke . "What are Antijokes? Anti Jokes (or Anti Humor) is a type of comedy in which the uses is set up to expect a typical joke setup however the joke ends with such ANTICLIMAX that it becomes funny in its own right. The LACK OF PUNCHLINE is the punchline."
- I don't get it, if you had alzheimers you might very well know and not need to ask, it is also likely you'd forget about the light bulb. Plus there seems to be an absence of a knock, people with alzheimers forget easily they don't hear things that aren't there. Plus I doubt it would happen that quickly. And if you are telling the joke, and we have verified that you don't have alzheimers, why would you say "to get to the other side" as the punchline.
- off to hell I go
- This joke is so offensive i can't believe I'm so hungry.....
- I know this is awful but... I FRACKEN LOVE THIS JOKE! it makes me laugh (but now I feel guilty ;(. )
- This is mean, but funny
- even though it's kind of offensive... this is the best joke ever!!! it made my day!

U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., and his Democratic challenger, former Gov. Ronnie Musgrove, both raised hefty sums over the last three months.
Musgrove and Wicker are on the ballot for the Nov. 4 election to fill the unexpired term of Republican Trent Lott, who left the Senate late last year.
In campaign finance documents filed Tuesday, Wicker reported raising $1 million from April 1 to June 30, and has nearly $3 million in cash. Wicker received a boost from Wicker-Mississippi Victory Committee, which is made up of his campaign and the Mississippi Republican Party. He received $208,785 from the committee.
Musgrove came close to matching Wicker's quarterly total. Musgrove raised $813,708. Musgrove has $716,180 in cash.
Meanwhile, Wicker's campaign says a TV ad launched Tuesday by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee supporting Ronnie Musgrove "overtly violates" campaign finance laws. It said the Federal Elections Commission requires coordination between a campaign and a National Committee like the DSCC not to exceed $180,800. The Wicker campaign said the DSCC ad is valued at an estimated $240,214.
According to a news release, Wicker for Senate's attorney, Ben Ginsberg, is filing a formal legal complaint with the FEC about the ad.
Musgrove has also filed a complaint with the FEC accusing Wicker of accepting illegal campaign contributions. Musgrove filed his complaint Wednesday.
Musgrove's campaign says that Wicker accepted donations to his 2008 House re-election committee and his 2008 Senate election committee and then combined the funds to exceed the limit allowed by law.
Wicker's campaign spokesman, Ryan Annison, says "we're in full compliance of the law."

HTC's hardware plans for 2013 have been leaking for some time now, with the 1080p HTC M7 expected to officially drop next month, but a new batch of screenshots suggest the company's HTC Sense interface is also in for a refresh. Less fussy, crisper, and generally shedding some of the "unnecessary design" of previous iterations, HTC Sense 5 is put a greater emphasis on typefaces and 2D iconography, according to the leaked screenshots shared by xda-developers' mdeejay.
Gone is the faux-depth HTC lavished onto its 2012 version of Sense, replaced with flat icons for the browser, camera, messaging, and other features. They sit nicely with the narrower fonts, which look better suited to the sort of high-definition displays we're increasingly seeing on smartphones.
Of course, Sense wouldn't be Sense without a liberal splashing of the weather, but HTC has pared back its icons there too. Monochrome wire-art is used, rather than the eye-catching but unnecessary 3D animations of before.
We're still a long way from seeing Sense 5 in full, though it's already clear HTC isn't relying on a simple patch-job to keep the interface competitive. Users - at least the tech-savvy among them - arguably increasingly prefer stock Android, however, so HTC's refinement is particularly necessary if it wants to keep differentiating its handsets without perversely frustrating owners in the process.
We're expecting to see HTC Sense 5 - and the HTC M7 - be officially unveiled at Mobile World Congress at the end of February.

|Predicting Macroscopic Dynamics in Large Distributed Systems
|July 18, 2011
|In this paper, we outline an approach that can be used to predict macroscopic dynamics when new components are deployed in a large distributed system. Our approach combines two main methods: scale reduction and multidimensional data analysis techniques. Combining these methods, we can search a wide parameter space to identify factors likely to drive global system response and we can predict the resulting macroscopic dynamics of key system behaviors. We demonstrate our approach in the context of the Internet, where researchers, motivated by a desire to increase user performance, have proposed new algorithms to replace the standard congestion control mechanism. Previously, the proposed algorithms were studied in three ways: using analytical models of single data flows, using empirical measurements in test beds where a few data flows compete for bandwidth, and using simulations at modest scale with a few sequentially varied parameters. In contrast, by applying our approach, we simulated configurations covering four-tier network topologies, spanning continental and global distances,comprising routers operating at state-of-the-art speeds and transporting more than 105 simultaneous data flows with varying traffic patterns and temporary spatiotemporal congestion. Our findings identify the main factors influencing macroscopic dynamics of Internet congestion control, and define the specific combination of factors that must hold for users to realize improved performance. We also uncover potential for one proposed algorithm to cause widespread performance degradation. Previous engineering studies of the proposed congestion control algorithms were unable to reveal such essential information.

No support for using a virtual hard disk linked to a physical hard disk
You can create a virtual hard disk that is linked to a physical hard disk by using Virtual PC. However, it is no longer possible to use a virtual hard disk that is linked to a physical hard disk in a virtual machine. A virtual hard disk linked to a physical hard disk allows the guest operating system to directly modify the contents of a linked physical hard disk. This means that the guest operating system can overwrite the contents of the physical hard disk and potentially corrupt the host operating system and other programs and data of the physical hard disk.

After completing the installation, we recommend that you install Virtual Machine Additions in each guest operating system for enhanced performance. Installing Virtual Machine Additions is described in the Virtual PC Help.
Installing Virtual PC 2007 from the command line
This section provides information about installing Virtual PC 2007 from the command line.
Setup.exe [{/v "parameter_string_for_MSIEXEC" | /c }] /t [path]
- /v
- Calls Msiexec.exe and passes it parameters through a string.
- /c
- Does not call Msiexec.exe but extracts the Virtual_PC_2007_Install.msi file to %temp%.
- /t
- Extracts the Virtual_PC_2007_Install.msi file to path supplied by the user.
msiexec.exe {/i|/a} "msifile" [ALLUSERS=value] [{INSTALLDIR=value|TARGETDIR=value}] [ALLUSERS=value] [/qb | /qn | /qr | /qf] [/l logfile]
- /i
- Installs Virtual PC. You can use /x to uninstall Virtual PC.
- /a
- Applies the administrative installation option. Installs Virtual PC on the network.
- /q
Sets the user interface level as follows:
q or qn: No user interface
qb: Basic user interface
qr: Reduced user interface
qf: Full user interface
- q or qn: No user interface
- /l logfile
- Specifies the path to the log file.
- INSTALLDIR=value
- Specifies a custom folder in which to install the program. If you do not include this parameter, the program is installed in \Program files.
- TARGETDIR=value
- Specifies where to install the Virtual PC installation package when you are using the administrative installation (/a) option. The package's data files are uncompressed in this location.
- ALLUSERS=value
- Determines what users see in the Start menu and in Add or Remove Programs. If ALLUSERS is not set, the installer does a per-machine installation. If ALLUSERS is set to an empty string (ALLUSERS=""), the installer does a per-user installation. In all cases, the installer uses folders in the "All Users" profile.
The following example shows how to perform an unattended installation and make the program accessible to all users on the computer. During an unattended installation, the Setup program runs without prompting you for input.
Msiexec.exe /i " Virtual_PC_2007_Install.msi " /qn
If you want to use Group Policy to deploy Virtual PC 2007, you must use the administrative installation option (/a) along with the TARGETDIR option. This is shown in the following example:
Msiexec.exe /a " Virtual_PC_2007_Install.msi " TARGETDIR=Installation folder's network path /qn
The following table provides a formatting legend for the command-line information.
Information that the user must supply
Elements that the user must type exactly as shown
Ellipsis (...)
Parameter that can be repeated several times in a command line
Between brackets ([])
Optional items
Between braces ({}); choices separated by pipe (|). Example: {even|odd}
Set of choices from which the user must choose only one
Known issues
The following are known issues that you might encounter after you install this product.
Drag and drop between the host and guest does not work without restarting the host
After installing Virtual PC 2007, when you run a virtual machine for the first time, drag and drop between the host and guest does not work. You can resolve this issue by restarting the host operating system.
Hotfix required on certain x64-based computers
Installing Virtual PC on a computer that has AMD hardware-assisted virtualization support and uses a 64-bit version of Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP as the host operating system generates a bug check and shuts down the operating system. This occurs because 64-bit versions of the Windows operating system protect a critical system register that Virtual PC modifies to enable hardware-assisted virtualization. You can resolve this issue by installing a hotfix. For information about this hotfix, see article 924131 in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (
Documentation corrections
This section provides additions and corrections to the Virtual PC Help.
Instructions for performing a PXE boot includes unnecessary step
The topics "To use a startup CD or ISO file to install an operating system" and "To use a system disk to install an operating system from a CD" include the following instruction: "Start the virtual machine, and then select Network as the boot device during startup." However, it is not necessary to select Network as the boot device because it will be selected automatically when there is no bootable image on the virtual hard disk and the network infrastructure is in place.
Disregard references to DOS Virtual Machine Additions.vfd
The virtual floppy drive "DOS Virtual Machine Additions.vfd" is not supplied with this version of Virtual PC 2007. Disregard all references to this virtual floppy drive in the Virtual PC Help.

Well crap. Is it unsafe to use in my rifle? Or is it just a reliability issue?
Well like I said I haven't used triple 777 in my rifles. (All of which are Traditional style weapons,) so I don't know of any 777 shortcomings that may exist when used in a Traditional application. But according to shortwave he has used it. Perhaps your questions (above) should be directed to shortwave. I'm sure He has the answers your looking for in regards to your situation. (or read the next quote below)
From what I know about 777 chickenmcnasty comes from a few friends who are in-line shooters. Their rifles are ignited with 209 primers. Not #11 caps. Its
powder of choice. Not mine.
Per shortwave's thread (seen above): Sure Shot,
It's not my fav. powder but I've used 777 in most of my hammer guns and just like Pyrodex, have not had any ignition problems.
Just remember chicken, you must reduce the amount of 777 used by 15% compared to other powders such as Pyrodex. Triple Seven is about 15% 'hotter' then other conventional powders
So with that said. I guess all you have to remember is to drop your volume charge rate 15% when using Triple 777 in a Traditional application. That's not that hard to accomplish is it.
"Do not follow where the path leads, rather go where there is no path and leave a trail for others to follow."

After a Monday night Twitter rant that accused Cubs manager Dale Sveum of not liking him and keeping him down in the minors, third baseman Ian Stewart is likely to face a fine or suspension from the team.
Stewart took to Twitter to vent over being stuck in the minors after completing an injury rehab, while the team plays Luis Valbuena and Cody Ransom at third. Cubs GM Jed Hoyer told the Chicago Tribune on Tuesday that, "what he did was really unprofessional and there are going to be consequences. Beyond that, I'm not going to comment." The Tribune noted that the Cubs had suspended

Vista to tip its hat to St. Patrick on Saturday
6 North County residents looking for a place to celebrate St. Patrick's Day a little early will find plenty of green Saturday in Vista.
The second annual North County St. Patrick's Day Parade and Festival is set to begin Saturday morning in Vista's historic downtown area on Indiana Avenue and Main Street. The event is co-sponsored by the Vista Village Business Association and the city of Vista.
"It's really going to be festive and we encourage people to wear green and get into the spirit," said event organizer Briana Wagner.
The celebration kicks off with a VIP breakfast featuring Irish coffee and corned beef hash from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. at the Vista Village Pub on Main Street. The parade starts at 9 a.m., followed by a street fair, contests and live entertainment from noon to 4 p.m.
Billed as North County's only St. Patrick's Day Parade, the event drew 1,500 people last year — despite rain that dampened the crowd, organizers said.
Good weather is expected to produce an even larger turnout this year, Wagner said.
Awards will be given to parade entries, including "Best 30 Second Performance," "Best Irish Theme" and "Best Irish Dog Costume."
The parade will also feature Circus Vargas performers. Celtic fiddler Celia Lawley will be the grand marshal.
Other activities at the festival include art, craft and food vendors. A beer garden sponsored by Vista's Aztec Brewing opens at 10 a.m.
Children up to 12 years old can participate in a "Freckled Kid" "Red Headed Kid" or "Smiling Irish Lass or Lassie" contests, Wagner said.
Limerick readings and writing will take place from 2 to 3 p.m. at Art Beat on Main Street. Participants are encouraged to bring their own pre-written limericks or write them on the spot, Wagner said.
Tickets for a drawing featuring a gold coin worth $200 as the prize are available through the Vista Village Business Association. Tickets will also be sold during the event.
The parade and festival are free and open to the public. For more information, call the Vista Village Business Association at (760) 414-9391 or visit www.northcountystpatricksdayparade.com.

MORLEY -- It looked to be a fairly even matchup going in, but the state's seventh-ranked Class 1 team, the Scott Central Braves, had other ideas.
An anticipated rematch between Scott Central and Scott-Mississippi Conference rival East Prairie, a Class 3 school, turned into a Braves' beatdown.
The Braves blitzed the visiting Eagles 92-53 on Tuesday.
Scott Central (13-4) tightened its grip on the Scott-Mississippi Conference lead, improving to 4-0, while East Prairie (11-6) fell to 2-2.
In their second meeting in less than a week -- Scott Central defeated East Prairie 92-78 on Thursday, with the outcome decided late -- the Braves put the Eagles away early in this one.
"We stayed with the game plan this time," said Scott Central coach Ronnie Cookson. "(The) last time our game plan went out the window. We played a straight zone this time instead of trying to match up with them, because they kept beating us when we matched up."
East Prairie coach Matt Schonhoff pointed to a similarity in his team's performance in the two games.
"The thing that killed us last Thursday was we could not finish inside," he said. "If we had finished inside, it could have been a different ballgame. Tonight, it was the same thing."
Much of the inside game centers around the teams' talented post men, Scott Central's 6-foot-1 Caleb Johnson and East Prairie's 6-2 Tony Jones. Both rank as two of the area's top rebounders.
Johnson clearly won this battle with an herculean effort on the boards, snatching 25 rebounds to go with his 15 points.
Jones, forced to the bench with foul trouble for parts of the second and third quarters, finished with 11 rebounds and six points.
Scott Central, on Toby Heeb's last-second 3-pointer, led 17-14 after the first quarter.
Heeb came off the bench to score 16 points, 12 in the first half. With Heeb as the offensive catalyst, scoring 10 second-quarter points, the Braves extended their lead to 43-30 at the half.
"We took Drew Thomas away in the first half--he didn't hurt us," said Schonhoff, "but Heeb did an excellent job of hitting 3's and Johnson did an excellent job of rebounding. We could not box him out."
Thomas, one of the Braves' leading scorers, was quiet in the first half with four points, but picked it up in the second half to finish with a game-high 21 points.
Scott Central, scoring at will, put the game out of reach with a 31-7 advantage in the third period.
The Braves ran off 23 straight points before the Eagles finally scored with 3:04 left in the third.
Thomas led the charge with 10 third-quarter points.
A frustrated coach Schonhoff pulled his starters midway of the quarter.
"We came out so flat in the third quarter and that's why I took out the starters," he said. "It was a wake-up call for those guys."
The Braves built a commanding 74-37 lead after three quarters, triggering a running clock in the final quarter.
A bright spot for the Eagles was the play of its second unit, specifically Ryan Jones, Trentin Martin and Jacob Garrett, who contributed 14 points off the bench.
"Our second team came in and did an excellent job," said Schonhoff. "They battled, they ran up and down the court, they got the ball inside and actually finished inside, so I'm very happy with our second team, but our first team has to come ready to go."
Paris Tipler topped the Eagles with 13 points and Randy Woods added 11.
Behind Thomas' 21 points, D.D. Gillespie scored 20 followed by Heeb's 16, Johnson's 15 and 12 from freshman Bobby Hatchett.
"He's starting to pick it up," said Cookson of Hatchett. "He pulled off a couple of drives tonight and he's got freedom to do that.
"It was a good win. I thought the kids played real well. The spark plug missed a couple of times, but they bounced back and got back in the groove."
Scott Central completed the sweep with a 78-37 rout of East Prairie in the junior varsity contest.
Tyler Gilliland, Desmin Williams and John Rhoden led the Braves with 12, 11 and 10 points, respectively.
Scot Davis topped the Eagles with 16.
Scott Central visits Chaffee while East Prairie hosts Hayti on Friday.

Bought these on sale for my mom, who suffers from a heel spur. They only had a size 10 in the store, and my mom is a wide footed size 8.5. So in Crocs she usually would go with a size 9 in the standard fit and an 8 in the relaxed fit. These shoes seem to run pretty small even for a standard fit, so when she tried on the size 10 it fit pretty well. I'm sure if we had bought the size 9 it would have fit, as well but might have been a little too snug for her foot with socks. She uses this shoe when she goes walking so I think the size 10 works for her purpose. It was comfortable for her, and she didn't feel any real pain.
Although a comfortable feature for the shoe is the fact that it has a fabric upper, I find it very unattractive. I also think that adds to the poor shape of the upper part of the shoe. It doesn't slip on and off as easily as you would think, but I wouldn't say that I was a deal breaker. I would have not bought it at full price though.
I also am not sure how long this shoe will last, or whether the fabric will come apart from the seams but I guess I will have to just see.

I bought this shoe for work, I do a lot of standing and walking. My go to once I get home are Crocs sandals in summer, and Crocs clogs in winter they are comfy! I thought I would be buying a comfortable shoe comparable to the comfort in my other crocs. I'm so dissatisfied. First the shoe does run narrow, I had to go a size up, the shoe is also tight on the top of my foot and digs in, the back of the heel, gave me blisters while wearing socks. The comfort, well there really isn't any, only the removable insert is made with the Croc material that the sandals and clogs are made of. The bottom portion is made out of some very hard rubber.. To be fair I wore the shoes for a full month to try to get them broken in, everyday they now get more uncomfortable and my feet are crying well before my shift ends. My worst regret is I bought 2 because it was such a good deal.....

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I think these are cute as bugs. The problem likes in the normal crosslite sole liner with the flexible fabric. Feet get HOT, sweat, and slide uncontrollably while the stretch fabric gives way. These are great house slippers if you don't move. If you want to walk without falling on your face... or padded end... avoid these shoes at all costs. Do NOT buy for granny! Great gift for the mother-in-law or relative that has made you their heir!

Comments about Crocs Women's Duet Busy Day Skimmer:
This is my first experience ordering shoes online without having tried them on. Because the website advised that these shoes ran big (in general), and I wear a half size, I ordered a size down. When they arrived, they didn't fit, so I returned them per the instructions for returns/exchanges on the website and ordered a larger size. Be forewarned; if you are returning/exchanging an item, contact Crocs first and don't rely on the return instructions on the insert or website! Because I did not contact them first, I did not receive a refund or free shipping on the return (there was supposed to be a label in my box), but they did graciously offer me a Crocs gift card for the price difference between the two pairs (and the shipping I paid). The larger size I ordered fit and had the lateral support I needed.

Q:Are these non slip bottomsAsked on 8/16/2016 by DB
1 answer
A:The Duet Busy Day Skimmer style does not feature special slip-resistant tread. Certain Crocs shoes offer CrocsLock tread, which provides slip-resistance that exceeds industry standards. Please note that while they are slip resistant, they are not completely slip proof. Please use general caution as you would in any other shoe. You can see our collection of slip-resistant styles here: http://www.crocs.com/c/shop-by/activity/slip-resistant-shoes.Answered on 8/26/2016 by Christy Chic from Crocs Inc

1 answer
A:Hello-the Women's Duet Busy Day Skimmer are made out of breathable materials. If you find that your feet still sweat etc then I would recommend wearing socks, you can also use products tailored to these issues such as powders and sprays.Answered on 8/11/2016 by Supportive Shay from Crocs Inc
Q:Can I wear these in waterAsked on 7/31/2016 by April from Texas
1 answer
A:This shoe is made of our water friendly material called Croslite™, be sure to dry your Crocs in a cool, shaded location as being wet, and then exposed to high heats at times may cause the Croslite to warp or shrink. The Duet Busy Day Skimmer is not designed for water use, so submerging them and wearing them very wet for long periods of time could damage the shoes as far as discoloration. With that said, they are designed to support day-to-day exposure and wear. I wouldn't panic if it starts raining while you are out. :)Answered on 8/3/2016 by Anonymous

Happy May Day! While it's not officially summer (May Day is actually a spring holiday), we're already making summer plans at my home. The kids only have a few weeks left of school. That means I'm booking summer camps – and have already found out that many are booked solid with waiting lists! We've also made plans to visit family and friends on both coasts this year. Here in Georgia, we have a short summer since the kids get out of school May 21st and go back to school August 8, so we have to pack a lot of fun and travel in just a couple of months.
To top it off, my husband has already planned our first party. I think we're going to use our outdoor grill – the one that former owner build into the backyard – and have another pig roast for our neighbors, friends, and my husband's coworkers. We'll probably ask everyone to bring a dish, which I think is the way to go so no matter what your food sensitivities, diet, whether you're a meat eater, vegan or vegetarian, you're certainly able to find something you can eat.
I hope my Healthy Grilling & BBQ Recipes Slideshow at Foodie.com above provides you some healthy party food inspiration for spring or summer time entertaining. While you're visiting Foodie.com, check out my other Healthy Foodie Collections!

Errors in Figures. In the Original Investigation by Chakravarty et al titled "Reduced Disability and Mortality Among Aging Runners: A 21-Year Longitudinal Study," published in the August 11/25, 2008, issue of the Archives (2008;168[15]:1638-1646), an error occurred in the Figure 2 legend on page 1642. The corrected legend reads as follows: "Figure 2. Mean disability levels by year separated by sex. Solid lines represent data for male participants, and dashed lines represent data for female participants who continued participation through 2005. Only subjects who completed the 21-year follow-up are included. Error bars indicate SD."
An error also occurred in Figure 1B on page 1641. In the key, the dark dashed line should read "Never runners (completers, n = 83)" and the light dashed line should read "Ever runners (completers, n = 357)."

El Paso County workers activated new street lights Monday at a county intersection with a history of accidents.
Cars driving on Marksheffel Road and Fontaine Boulevard began using the new lights as soon as they were activated Monday at noon. Most cars followed the new rules, but a couple ran a red light within the first hour of the activation.
There have been several accidents at the site, including three fatal ones in past years. County Commissioner Dennis Hisey said this change had been a long time coming. Previous attempts at improvements didn't work. He said after the latest fatality a year ago, it was time to move forward.
Now, the biggest concern for Hisey is making sure drivers get used to the traffic lights. He said once they do, the county will have solved the problem.

Maybe it's just me, but I've seen so many users confused by how django static files work.
Users trying to stuff their project-specific staticfiles into STATIC_ROOT for example, instead of adding a path in STATICFILES_DIRS.
A tutorial for static files could help many users.

Django docs contain two pages about static files:
The first one is hard to understand but does the job and acts as a kind of tutorial. In my opinion, we could re-write this information but make it more easy to understand.
If you are willing to make a contribution to Django, you are welcome to do so and apply a patch. I'll set easy pickings.
comment:2 Changed 4 years ago by russellm
Zed Shaw has provided a detailed teardown/rant on what is wrong with the current docs, and how to improve them. Summarizing, It looks like the confusion stems from three sources:
- Understanding what staticfiles is actually trying to do
- Ordering of information - the howto talks about production needs before development needs
- Clarity over the role played by various settings.
comment:3 Changed 4 years ago by alecperkins@…
I took a stab at rewriting the first part of the static files howto (rendered). This was based on, for the first time in literally years, trying to set up static files from scratch and finally wrapping my head around it.
For those coming at staticfiles with the expectation of "put files in this folder, they get served at this URL", the app-specific static files idea is confusing. This rewrite makes it more clear what's necessary to get that outcome, and explain why the process is the way it is.

Proposal for tutorial06 about staticfiles: with smaller steps but not following the exact same pedagogy used to teach template file management
comment:10 Changed 4 years ago by jpic
On which structure should we base tutorial06 about staticfiles ? proposal_1.rst or proposal_0.rst ?
comment:11 Changed 4 years ago by jezdez
Proposal 0, as it introduces app level static files earlier. I just talked with Aymeric about it and we decided it would be best to move more toward pushing the idea of apps in the tutorial in general, including the part where we point to TEMPLATES_DIRS. This would be another ticket entirely of course.

We splitted this ticket:
Rewriting the how-to is now done in:
comment:13 Changed 4 years ago by jpic
After talking with Aymeric, we decided the following plan for tutorial06:
- Using the AppDirectoriesFinder: demonstrates how to use polls/static/polls/style.css with {% static 'polls/style.css' %},
- Relating static files: a simple demonstration of adding a css background image, just to have an opportunity of warning the user that he should not hardcode absolute paths.

Katie Price: butler at wedding asked if I was a 'porn star'
Model says wedding was ruined by Bahamas resort's plastic sunbeds, bad tent and impertinent butler
KATIE PRICE has revealed that her third wedding to builder and part-time stripper Keiran Hayler was "almost ruined" by a series of "disasters" including a hotel butler who inexplicably mistook her for a "porn star".
Writing in The Sun, Price says her big day at Sandals Royal Bahamian Resort and Spa was compromised by bad architecture, poorly constructed sunbeds and an atmosphere that was more like an "18-30 holiday club" than a refined royal palace.
"Sandals my arse," fumes Price in her column in today's paper. "It was more like a smelly old flip-flop".
The official Sandals Royal Bahamian website says the resort has a "stunning Georgian façade" and was "once the domain of a former king of England". Step inside and you "realise that you've entered a realm of sophisticated splendour".
But Price, who got married on the resort's beach, says she was not made to feel like royalty. Her wedding snaps had to hide the fact there were "ugly skyscrapers" near the beach and she says her wedding tent "looked like it came out of a B&Q flat pack". To make matters worse, the sunbeds were made from "plastic", rather than another, more sophisticated material.
Worst of all, the bride-to-be says she was asked by a hotel butler, "Are you a porn star?"
"I've done a few things in my time, but porn isn't one of them," writes an indignant Price. "It's not the sort of thing a bride-to-be expects to be asked by a member of staff at a so-called classy hotel."
Price ends her column by promising to see the Sandals resort "in court". But things are unlikely to get that far because the resort told the Sun it would be happy to give Price a full refund as long as she "does not choose our resorts for any future weddings or stays".
Sandals also says its butler denies making any "derogatory remarks", but provided no information on the construction of its sunbeds.

This is really making me dizzy. Together with ARRAS theme, this plugin is not functionion properly. If you visit my site http://valparna.hundbloggen.com you will see. It's not correctly aligned. However, if you click any category or any other page, it's working properly.
So i tried to activate a static page, the one that was working. But same thing goes there. It aligned inproperly for some reason. I tried adding divs, formatting. Nothing seems to help. It's as if it wont work if it's in the root url, but if you click any other page. it works.
(and remember, i tried to use a fresh copy of arras, with a fresh wordpress, still the same. Even if you chose the about page as static frontpage, it still displays this error, until you click to another page)
Help appreciated.

Cookies, hand lotion and a letter are just some of the goodies that more than a dozen deployed female U.S. soldiers will soon find in care packages sent to them by Girl Scout Daisy Troop 62134.
The 16 first-grade girls from Bagby Elementary School in the Cambrian District got together for this special project on June 1, their last meeting of the school year. They had fun while packing an assortment of things these overseas military women might appreciate. The items included not only store-bought baked goods and candy, but feminine hygiene products as well. All were purchased with troop funds.
As they worked around the table where the care package items were stacked, the girls talked about ways to "help a sister."
Sara Craven, the troop's parent leader, encouraged them to "think about the women and what they may be doing right now."
"We thought this was a great way to support these women," Craven said, "and to show them they have friends thinking of them."
The names and addresses of the 16 soldiers were provided through a program called Ladies of Liberty, which originated in 2006 at the University of North Dakota in a women's studies course.
The treats plus the handcrafted cards made by the 6- and 7-year-old girls in Troop 62134 will be shipped directly to the women, who are deployed around the world.
Lilia, 6, was sure that the soldier who receives her card will "feel really happy that Girl Scouts gave them something."
Olivia, 6, imagined that her assigned soldier is "battling right now" and that it will "feel good" when she opens the box.
The troop has done eight other projects since it formed in January, each one representing values of the Girl Scout organization. The girls earned their last "petal patch" of nine for making these care packages.
"It's so sweet," said parent Deedee Maysonave of this effort for the soldiers, clasping her hands to her chest. "Imagine getting this type of letter. I'd be a wreck."

"The filling on this is nice, certainly not 5 star rating but not bad at all. Which is why I'm giving this a 3 rather a 2. The use of the store bought cookie dough is what absolutely kills it. It gives it a horrible horrible taste. So much so I've tossed this batch. Do yourself a favor and take an extra 30 minutes to make your own shortbread."

Madonna Looks to Facebook, Twitter to Sell New Album 'MDNA'
Madonna is trying to update her status.
She's not particularly techy and hasn't had much of a social media presence. Yet, to promote MDNA—her new album that was officially released by Interscope Records today—Madonna, 53, has sworn off magazine covers and morning-show concerts. Instead, she is launching her 12th studio album worldwide by shoring up social cred and giving just one in-person interview: to comedian and late-night talk-show host Jimmy Fallon for broadcast solely on her Facebook page. She will follow up the Facebook interview tonight, when she tweets for the first time in a live Twitter chat at 10pm EST.
A social-only promotional effort for a music-industry launch of this size is the first of its kind. "The idea was to do things differently," says Madonna's manager, Guy Oseary.
Facebook, which reported last December it has 845 million "active" users worldwide, hopes to become even more of a platform for celebrities and it has created new features that help it compete with the appeal Twitter has for public figures. With Facebook "Subscribe," for instance, users can read in their newsfeed a celebrity's publicly posted updates, even if they're not "friends." It also allows users to have greater control over whose updates end up in their feed, and in what doses.
"Madonna is launching her new album on Facebook because it allows for effective word-of-mouth on a massive scale," says Justin Osofsky, Facebook's director of platform partnerships, a team that works with celebrities, politicians, news organizations and app development companies.
The Madonna Facebook interview took place on Saturday, at the social network's New York office. In the cafeteria, a no-frills set was in place: two chairs juxtaposed TV-talk-show style, with an Apple computer and docked iPod Touch on side tables as well a flat-screen monitor showing the MDNA cover.
Before the live chat began, the 100-or-so Facebook employees who would make up the audience milled and chatted, drinking wine from plastic cups and beer from bottles. (Overheard: "So can we post about this yet, or no?" and "It's usually Menlo Park that gets the cool stuff.")
Around 6:15 PM, Fallon—dressed tech-indy chic in a T-shirt sweater and black jeans—appeared. As a makeup artist repowdered his nose, he warmed up the crowd:
"How's your boss?" (Nervous laughter.)
"He's not here, we can talk crap about him." (Uproar.) "How was your bonus?" (Nervous laughter.)
As he sat down to prepare to introduce Madonna, Fallon was visibly nervous and keyed-up. "This is historic, you guys!" he said. Then he turned to the live-stream camera and began the broadcast. "Hello the world!" he said.
Madonna then came on to the set, teeny and strong in painted-on shiny black pants, the back pocket of which said "Le freak" in rhinestones. The Facebookers went wild, showing that even though many of them were in utero when "Like a Virgin" came out in 1984, they are fans of her page so-to-speak.
For a little more than 30 minutes, Fallon and Madonna bantered about the album and her career. She answered questions that fans were posting in real-time on Facebook. Madonna was reliably the provocateur: she demonstrated to Fallon how she eats ice cream in bed and tried to teach him to dance to her new song, "Gang Bang." (There is danger in a single appearance in a make-shift studio: the interview's audio isn't great at certain moments.)
"I had a great time - wish it could have gone on longer," Madonna said, according to her spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg.
The idea for the Facebook promotion solved logistical issues, Oseary says. Magazine shoots and multiple television interviews and appearances require time—something Madonna hasn't had much of in the last several months as she was preparing her Super Bowl halftime show, promoting her film "W.E." and now in all-day rehearsals for her upcoming MDNA global tour.
Madonna "wants us to try new things," says Oseary, who is tech-focused and invests in a fund with Ashton Kutcher. "It could all go wrong but she is willing to let me really run with it. She's up for trying," he says.
In advance of the live-streamed interview, Oseary worked with Facebook to build Madonna's page. Her "timeline" is robust, with archived footage, such as her "Express Yourself" performance at the 1989 MTV Video Music Awards, and the "Cherished" music video, filmed by Herb Ritts.
Now Madonna herself is getting into it. She emailed to Oseary BlackBerry photographs of the bruises she's gotten while rehearsing for her tour and asked him to post them to her timeline. "She's not a tech head," Oseary says of Madonna, "but she understands that this is a great way to exchange info with her fans without anyone in the middle.

Vertical Medina is a 45,000-sq-m residential, office and retail building located in the King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD), a new 1.6 million-sq-m, mixed-use development in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The project reinterprets the traditional Arab city form - the medina - by turning it on its side, creating a rich vertical network of shops, offices and apartments.
The main facades on the east and west sides of the building are characterised by interlocking frames that delineate the residential units and office spaces from each other. The 16-storey structure, clad in limestone from local sources, contains 55 luxury residential apartments ranging from one to four bedrooms and totaling 18,000 sq m. These apartments occupy the top eight floors of the building. More than 21,000 sq m of Class A office space comprise six floors below the residences, while two floors of retail shops line the street and plazas surrounding the structure.
The design blends new and old, utilising passive sustainability strategies and components of contemporary living to create a new model for living and working in the city. The primary exposures are shaded by the deep recesses of each 'courtyard' in the Medina. In traditional Arab cities, the courtyard was the centre of life at home, providing privacy, ventilation and visual interest. In the urban context of this high-rise district of Riyadh, the vertical courtyard terraces serve the same purpose and provide outstanding views of the city. Each apartment has its own private courtyard, and these courtyards are interspersed with open air gardens that will be shared by all residents and that pass from one side of the building to the other.
The shared courtyards serve as garden terraces for the fitness centre, an event room and the children's play area. The glass facades of the residences are clad with operable shading screens – like the mashrabiyahs found in traditional Arab cities – to provide further shading from the sun and to enhance privacy. The building is scheduled to be complete in late 2012.
