Saturday noon tune(s): The day Michael Jackson took over the world
Two years ago today, Michael Jackson died at the age of 50. By the time of his death, for many, he'd become a pop-culture freak show, a religious icon and a punchline. Lost in all of that - and in the manslaughter trial against his physician that is still meandering through the courts (here's the latest "development") - was the performer himself.
For a refresher on what a game-changer Jackson was, here's the moment he did it: his performance of "Billie Jean" during the taping of the TV special "Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever" in March 1983. Entertainment Weekly has a nice archival write-up on Jackson's performance, and its impact, here; when Fred Astaire calls you at home to tell you "you're a hell of a mover," you know something new is in the wind. »Read Full Blog Post

Bastille Days builds upon existing French tradition
Thirty-two years ago, the East Town Association wanted Cathedral Square residents and businesses to feel the tender love and care that only a free festival could provide.
The idea birthed Bastille Days, a free, four-day celebration to commemorate French National Day — when the "storming of the bastille" started the French Revolution to overthrow Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette's absolute monarchy in 1789. »Read Full Article(7)

hey peeps,
Q1 : I backed up a game to my xbox hdd with dvd2xbox. The program creates a file default.xbe_orig. Does anyone know what this is? The reason I ask is that I know dvd2xbox patches the xbe file(s), and I want to ftp the backup to my pc to burn. Does this new file need to be deleted if I am going make an iso?
Q2: In craxtion4, there is an option to patch xbe files and iso files. My question is does it matter which I use? Can I patch the xbe files, then make iso, and patch the iso as well?
Does anyone know of a tutorial/guide for patching games?

Where do I begin, is a question I often wonder? I usually start with the subject of where Ayurveda came from, the history behind the science, and the philosophical origion. However, more often than not, before to long, I realize that I am being greeted with a look of a sort of skeptism, dis-belief, and confusion all mixed into one. Or they just think that I am plain crazy! But that's ok, crazy is something I am learning to work with!
The truth is, once they begin to understand what Ayurveda is and how it can apply to them in their daily lives, the attitudes about this unknown and "different" subject quickly begin to change. The curiosity more often than not outweighs the skeptism and they want to learn more. How can this amazing science of living be applied to them they often wonder.
To me Ayurveda is a fascinating subject. A whole new world opening right in front of me. A new and and exciting way of right living.
Ayurveda, the ancient healing art of India, teaches that food plays an essential part in one`s health and sense of well-being, We give you an authentic guide of the ayurvedic approach to food and tasty vegetarian cooking.

Skip to comments.Vanity: State of Florida vs. George Zimmerman: Affidavit of probable cause
Posted on 04/12/2012 6:26:26 PM PDT by dewawi
Oh my God, no wonder Allen Dershowitz is calling it a disgrace. This looks like something a 3rd grader would put together. It even makes a mistake as to what the Dispatcher told Zimmerman when he said he was following him. Remember: the Dispatcher said "You don't have to do that". Well in this affidavit, the State claims the Dispatcher said something else DESPITE IT BEING ON TAPE!
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
That face could keep the vampires away.
Saving your comment because I agree completely. We shall see!
I'm curious as to why no one has made mention of the fact? that it appears after hearing portions of the 911 call, that the dispatcher asked Zimmerman - "which way is he running" - well that is basically the same as the dispatcher IMO telling/asking Zimmerman to "follow" and tell me where/which direction the "suspicious" person is heading - shortly after that question was put to Zimmerman you can hear an out of breath/heavy panting Zimmerman (because he ran? to "follow" so as to find out which direction the kid was going so he could reply to dispatchers question?) dispatcher hears him out of breath and asks if he following... yes..."we don't need you to..." "OK" says Zim and he was probably glad he could finally stop ... but he told dispatcher he "lost him and had no idea where he was now". My Conjecture - kid circled around thru the walkways and snuck up on Zimmer... catching him unawares as he headed back to his vehicle...so now we have a young, athletically fit teen confronting older out of shape and still trying to catch his breath male... just my take on things
[[The testimony of the mother as to the voice crying for help will be contradicted by Zimmermans family and friends]]
It will also contradict hte father's testimony that the voice was definately not hisw son's voice
Wasn't he moving away from his house?
[[A prosecutors job is not to win a conviction at all costs, but rather to *uncover the truth*
Therefore, why would the prosecution even *attempt* to discredit an eyewitness?]]
Why would the prosecutor pray with hte martins, and why would the prosecutor declare that 'justice for trayvon' is what is being sought? Doesn't sound like her objective is to 'find hte truth'

It's a little over eight tenths of a mile away.
I think it will be damned hard to comvince a jury of guilt given all of this:
I think it will be damned hard to comvince a jury of guilt given all of this:
yes- he was moving i nthe oposdite direction
I beleive when he followed zimmerman who was headed back to his truck to leave the scene to meet with the police when martin attacked him- the kid was apaprently less than 20 seconds away from his own father's home, but decided NOT to go there and instead turned around and confronted zimerman which was asd we know a fatal mistake for the punk- and I say punk, because it is now pretty clear that martin could have avoided the hwole hting by just heading toward his fathers house but decided apaprently that he was 'gopign to teach zimmerman a lesson' and ifact apparently told zimmerman he was goign to kill him- he acted like a punk, and payed the price by picking on someone that was actually able to defend himself agaisnt a punk
If this is to be the evolution of justice, it would make no sense to ever call the police. Plain ol vigilante justice will be the only way to remain safe.
I flip thru the channels and I hear this Nancy Grace woman just totally convinced Zimmerman is the epitome of evil - like she isn't even listening to any reason. Can someone give me some insight into why she is so whacked out about this?
All very good points.
I am curious about the alleged phone call with the girl friend. In the affidavit, Martin's actions and feelings about what was happening are described based on this alleged call. Now I'm assuming there is some verification of a call having been made (although I've not read about it). Have you read if Zimmerman ever mentions that Martin is on his phone when Zimmerman is talking to the 911 operator?
I have not seen that Zimmerman makes any note of that. Have you?
Not exactly lying but very loose with the facts. They use hearsay evidence from Martin's girlfriend, assume that Zimmerman ignored the dispatcher's advice (which they deceptively made to sound like an order) and took the mother's word that it was Martin screaming, while his father originally said it was not his son. They assume that Zimmerman confronted Martin when there is no evidence of it. Zimmerman's only response to the dispatcher's advice was okay.
The dispatcher said "We don't need you to do that".
That seems to be the consensus with most of the legal panels.
When seconds count the police are minutes away.
In the affidavit it says Zimmerman "profiled" Martin. Interesting, I thought only the police could legally be charged with profiling anyone...he may have been biased against him due to his perceived race but to say he profiled him is not a valid legal argument in my opinion.
In fact, the only bias shown on the tape recording is he was biased against punks and assholes.
I always thought hearsay evidence was inadmissable.
But...but...the official "narrative" is that the dispatcher "told him not to do that". Apparently they don't seem to understand that a court of law is not a network newscast.
Law and facts are irrelevant to Zimmerman's case. He must and will be convicted. Zimmerman's conviction is too important not to occur.
Nancy never heard of a defendant, that she didn't think was guilty as hell.
Is it normal for an affidavit to be so slanted? It asserts that Martin "was not committing a crime." Yes, at the moment, but he was behaving in such a way that a reasonable observer might suspect he was planning to commit a crime (burglary). It should be easy enough to establish whether the neighborhood had in fact experienced several recent burglaries--the affidavit assumes that Zimmerman is imagining the danger (based on his assumed prejudices against people who look like Trayvon).
The statement that "Zimmerman confronted Martin" seems to be conjured out of thin air. Zimmerman claims Martin confronted him, and no witness saw anything other than that.
Does Zimmerman get to have impartial experts determine that the voice calling for help is his, or would it be racist to question the assertion of Trayvon's sweet mother?
That's why I wonder how long the girlfriend had between the killing and when she was questioned, to learn what was known about the incident and think up details that would make it sound like Trayvon was being pursued.
I'm guessing the girlfriend said something like, "Go get him!" or worse.
According to the girlfriend, his cell phone was in his pocket and Trayvon was wearing a headset, so it was not necessarily noticeable that Trayvon was speaking on the phone.
I thought the dispatcher said, "we don't need you to do that". Basically the same thing, though.
Her testimony, truthful or not, is not hearsay. She was a primary witness, albeit subject to the limits of telephony and the length of the call.
Hearsay doesn't refer to the human ear. What the ear hears is admissible, if the ear was listening to an actual event. Hearsay is second-hand accounts. So and so told me such and such is not admissable, whether by ear or by email, letter or whatever.
Leave it to Florida to screw this up....They can't even count votes with major chaotic issues.
Excellent question!
What I recall reading is that Benjamin Crump took her deposition shortly after the incident, in preparation for ginning up the lynch mob. But, amazingly, the Man didn't talk to her until Corey took over the case. It will be most interesting to see how her account "evolved" between the those two points in time.
No, the prosecutor is a an arrogant idiot, who instead of having a brief news conference, instead made a major production out of it, and proceeded to give a long speech.
All this as she's smiling and winking at her media and government employee friends in the audience..
The prosecutor Corey, is a freaking moron.
The affidavit didn't even say how they knew Martin attempted to run home. Was this what the person/friend of Martin said who was not even present or a witness?
Is this a joke?
"ABC News was there exclusively as the 16-year-old girl told Crump about the last moments of the teenager's life."
"The lawyer said he would give the details of the phone call to the federal investigation."
So it appears that the girl is giving this account to ABCNews and Crump about three weeks after the incident, and that Crump is writing the interview up into a statement to give to investigators.
Of course any ABCNews article cannot be taken as objective, especially by Matt Gutman.
Was this a "reenactment" of an earlier account given to Crump by the girl, or the first time? If it was the former, it is sleazy of ABCNews to suggest otherwise, but then again ABCNews is sleazy.
Cow clown
This one could be on a twilight zone episode. Call it the "Rubber mask".
Maybe it was 0bamaz son on the recording.
To the extent the prosecution uses her to testify to a declaration that Trayvon made in order to prove the matter asserted in the declaration that would be hearsay. Such as "Trayvon told me on the phone it was raining" in order to prove to the jury that it was raining.
An example of such a statement I expect the prosecution to introduce would be her testimony that Trayvon told her that he was being followed, in order to establish the fact that Trayvon was following her.
Nevertheless, even though some of these statements may be literally hearsay, I expect the court to allow all or nearly all of these statements into evidence under the residual exception if necessary.
I meant to write "in order to establish the fact that Zimmerman was following Trayvon".
What she heard in terms of struggle is not hearsay.
See my post in 90.
The dying declaration exception does not appear relevant.
What I recall reading is, she said the call dropped before she heard anything other than words being exchanged.
If Zimmerman initiated the fisticuffs, she should have heard quite a lot, judging by what turned up on the 911 audio, recorded from much further away.
On the other hand, if Martin pressed End before setting about messing up the Man, she would have heard just about what she heard.
Might as well get some facts before you use it as a negative. The dispatcher carries no legal authority. Following their advice, from an insulated deaf and blind distance, can and probably has gotten the good guys killed. If some goon is coming at you or yours, and you're trying to give a 911 operator the dope on it, would you listen to them if they told you your best best was to drop to the ground and roll in a ball, vs. shooting their ass? Unless you can say yes to that, stop convicting a guy with nonsense. (I know you didn't actually convict him, but that kind of uneducated opinion is exactly what the haters will try to use when real evidence won't get the job done.)
What don't you understand about the definition of HEARSAY. Legally AND technically it is HEARSAY; She HEARD what he SAID. She is reiterating what she heard TRayvon say to Zimmerman. HEARSAY!
They don't technically care a whiff about stand your ground laws, per second. Instead, what they see here is a wedge issue that they think they can use to drive up voter turnout for this fall's elections. This will be the issue that every candidate has to choose sides on in the fall campaign. Liberal, even those who fully supported the law when it was passed, will line up against it and the narrative will be that President Obama is the sensible candidate who is against these racist and dangerous stand your ground laws.
Per second = per se.
I don't think so. What Obama needs is to build up guilt in the stupid white voters and so far he and the media are doing a great job without riots. There are very few people who read what we do and understand Zimmerman's innocence. Most people believe the media and think Z is guilty of profiling and murder.
Angela Corey We dont "usually" prosecute by public pressure or petition. But in this case we have made an exception. We believe the Sanford police department is full of incompetents who let murderers roam free for no reason. We do not want black people rioting around the streets of Florida so we decided to charge George even though there are witnesses, facts, and evidence to prove he was defending himself" this is what she really meant at the press conference

Bacillus Tilia is not only for the ones who adore excellent sound, but also for the ones who like having an object of art on their desk. Every Bacillus Tilia is different because every chasis is individually hand carved and painted with seven coats of four different varnishes, giving it the look of an aged piece of linden wood. Every unit is unique in its pattern.
Using premium quality input capacitors and highest grade op-amps, this headphone amplifier sounds smooth as if you were listening to a tube valve amp, but with more verve and dynamics. Every piece of music is a spectacle on Bacillus Tilia, making you discover sounds and clarity you never knew existed. This is the most versatile headphone amplifier in our range. It just sounds fine on everything.
Bacillus Tilia is based on Bacillus technology, with some improvements:
Bacillus Tilia is a homage to the Slovenian heritage, where linden tree represents a symbol of the country.
There was some linden wood around the workshop and the experimenting began in various directions. Linden wood (lat. Tilia) is interestingly textured and easy to mechanically work with. In fact, it is used for (art and decorative) carvings. At the end the result of our various approaches became right the opposite of our primal idea: instead of glossy black finish it became artificially aged, rugged, wooden, while the front panel remained silver to keep a connection with Bacillus "classic".
Tilia approach also made possible to have every unit unique in texture.
Output power:

- Anneke van Giersbergen's studio in Musicmaker, October 2013, Netherlands
"The design might be rather eccentric but what we have here is a headphone amp that will please those music fans who hate to miss out on anything. This amp drags out most of those subtleties that are often too shy to make an appearance. The Bacillus Tilia picks them up and puts them on a pedestal for your enjoyment."

Skip to comments.AP: Dean Blasts Bush Over Mad Cow Scare
Posted on 12/27/2003 6:04:10 PM PST by LurkedLongEnough
WASHINGTON (AP) - Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean says the Bush administration missed an opportunity to soften the impact of the country's first mad cow scare and that the American beef industry should receive federal aid to weather the crisis.
In a wide-ranging interview with The Associated Press, Dean also said Friday he wants Osama bin Laden to get the death penalty, seeking to minimize fallout from a New Hampshire newspaper story in which he was quoted as saying the terror leader's guilt should not be prejudged.
"As a president, I would have to defend the process of the rule of law. But as an American, I want to make sure he gets the death penalty he deserves," Dean told the AP in a phone interview.
The former Vermont governor, who solidly leads the field of Democratic presidential candidates in both polls and money, said he was simply trying to state in The Concord Monitor interview that the process of trying bin Laden needs to be fair and credible.
In that interview published Friday, Dean was quoted as saying, "I still have this old-fashioned notion that even with people like Osama, who is very likely to be found guilty, we should do our best not to, in positions of executive power, not to prejudge jury trials."
Dean told the AP that sentiment doesn't mean he sympathizes in any way with the al-Qaida leader. "I'm just like every other American, I think the guy is outrageous," he said.
Dean also weighed in for the first time on the news earlier this week that a cow in Washington state has tested positive for mad cow disease, the first such case in the United States.
The former governor, whose state has a large dairy cow population, said the Bush administration failed to aggressively set up a tracking system that would allow the government to quickly track the origins of the sick cow, quarantine other animals it came in contact with and assure the marketplace the rest of the meat supply is safe.
"What we need in this country is instant traceability," he said.
Dean said such a system should have been set up quickly after the mad cow scare that devastated the British beef industry in the mid- to late-1990s. The Bush administration was still devising its plan when the sick cow was slaughtered Dec. 9, and on Friday the government still hadn't determine the infected animal's origins.
"This just shows the complete lack of foresight by the Bush administration once again," Dean said. "This is something that easily could be predicted and was predicted."
Dean said as a result the beef industry will suffer enormously. Officials said Friday 90 percent of the foreign markets for American beef have been closed off because of the announcement.
Asked if he supported a federal economic aid package for the industry, Dean said: "The answer is, yes, of course I do. The question is how much? And we don't know how much yet."
Dean said the government's first job, before the economic damage is calculated, must be to "close down that impact as soon as possible" by tracing the cow's origins and credibly reassuring the American public and the world that the rest of the U.S. beef supply is safe.
As a doctor, Dean said he was more concerned about the impact of the announcement on the U.S. economy than on public health. "The truth is this is going to have a minimal health impact," he said.
Dean also reacted to comments attributed to Democratic rival Joe Lieberman in a story published Friday in The Union-Leader of Manchester, N.H., suggesting the Roe vs. Wade decision needs to be revisited because scientific advances allow a fetus to survive outside the womb much earlier than in the 1970s.
Lieberman issued a statement Friday saying he was misquoted and doesn't want the historic Supreme Court decision to be reopened.
Dean said he wasn't personally familiar with the Union-Leader interview, but he said Lieberman is "very much off base and doesn't understand the science," comparing him to anti-abortion Republicans.
"I think Joe makes the mistake that Republicans do, insinuating himself in the doctor-patient relationship," Dean said.
That fact becomes more and more evident every day.
Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from this list.
I don't get offended if you want to be removed.
So.....he will repeat an unfounded tinfoil hat theory that W had advanced knowledge of 9-11, and the worst thing that he can say about Osama is that he is "outrageous."
Howie, forgive me if my opinion of Osama is a wee bit lower than is yours.
Because Clinton was only interested in Pigs.
Dean - Clark
That's an unbalanced ticket.
McGovern.. er.. Dean in '04!
Yep, but its also clear they are running for office and the only way to get elected (in their minds) is to savage the president
Stay tuned this SEEBS channel for more news on Dr. Dean's reversal.
As I say in Texas: Dean is Asshat and no cattle! LOL!
Duh...Like we didn't think THAT would happen.
P.S. How long, exactly, did it take him to come out with that...fifteen seconds?
---Really, Howard...sooooo predictable!
See the chapter of Ann Coulter's book "Slander" on the subject of Democrats calling everyone they don't agree with "stupid."
The idiots at the processing plant should never have processed the meat once the BSE was determined. Better to take the loss on one cow than to take the beating they will now take.
Little old Lady: "Hey Dean - WHERE'S THE BEEF?"
Pray for W and The Truth
Uh, does anyone know whether Dean set up such a tracking system in Vermont?
What does he mean "soften" - cover it up? That would be so - so-----Clintonesque!

Lakeland, Florida
I love that I can connect with students from Puerto Rico and Florida as they work on their college search and application process, since I grew up in both locations. As a graduate, I am glad to have my own Florida Southern background to help families and students see why FSC is the perfect fit!
I love Tutu's Cyber Café. This is a hot spot on campus because so much is available. I can always count on Starbucks' drinks to give my day a boost! Apart from the great lunch options, I can relax by the Water Dome or walk into Roux Library to get a book or rent a movie.
My favorite tradition is the Fairwell Festival. Each year it centers on a different theme (such as Arabian Nights or the 90s) and it's a great opportunity to have one last night of fun riding rides, eating, and dancing with family and friends before the semester comes to an end.
A perfect Saturday in Lakeland would start by going to have breakfast at Mimis Café in the Lakeside Village and then venturing to Books A Million to spend time reading a new book or magazine. For lunch, it's great to head to downtown Lakeland and eat at any of the wonderful restaurants centered by Munn Park and then take time to shop around the wonderful antique stores. At night, I would go to any one of the different movie theatres in Lakeland—such as the Silver Moon Drive-In—and watch a double feature to top off the perfect Saturday.
Fish City Grill — only a ten minute drive from campus. They have the best Fish and Chips and always bring new items to the menu depending on the season. I encourage anyone who loves seafood to check it out.
Puerto Rico, and the following counties in Florida: Brevard, Broward, Glades, Hendry, Highlands, Indian River, Martin, Miami-Dade, Monroe, Okeechobee, Palm Beach, and St. Lucie.
Gym Class Heroes, Muse, Red Hot Chili Peppers
Hackers, The Family Stone, and anything by J.J. Abrams
Project Runway, New Girl, and Glee
Richard III, Impulse and the Harry Potter series

"It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live." —J.K. Rowling
Reading is my main hobby; I always love a good book! I also enjoy shopping, watching movies, and scrapbooking.
I am a massive gamer! I basically own every gaming console out there today.
I'm a massive Harry Potter fan. I have not only gone to the theme park in Orlando over 60 times, but I was also able to get on the red carpet for the last Harry Potter movie premiere in New York City and meet the cast. Also, I know Michael Jackson's top dance numbers because I was in a tribute show a couple of years back!

Arsenal Message Board
Valencia Match
In a couple of days we play Valencia. Wenger had said he would tie up the remaining signings before this match. The Chamakh saga could drag into next summer but I would rather see Kalou instead of Chamakh. We know for sure what we get with Kalou's EPL experience.
But our dire need is defensive reinforcements. We basically have the same defence as last season. With the unproven Vermaelen coming in for the experienced Toure. And should I add short defender being replaced by a shorter guy!
And another quality DM would do our chances of winning something no harm either. Sigh....Seems like I am playing the same record again!! :P
I strongly believe with our attacking options and players like Eduardo and Rosicky coming back, we will be a force to reckon with. If we manage to get our defensive act together, we can seriously challenge for the EPL title.
Our frailties in defence is the only thing which might hold us back this season. And other than hoping our youngsters to grow older and play better, we haven't done much. Vermaelen apparently seems to be signed as a replacement for Toure. For Toure had given indications he was leaving. We still are two defensive players short and with Senderos on the verge of leaving us, we will be one CB lighter. (Not the best, but can do a job on his given day.)
I am getting nervous even though there are close to 4 weeks left in the transfer window. Well, wont be the first time. So I can get back to living on hope and wishing that we are spared from injuries this season. I guess I might as well start wishing to get my numbers right in Euro Millions! (Similar chances of an injury free season at Arsenal as getting those 7 numbers right!! :P)Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
well yeah i suppose if Everton are paying 6 million for senderos
then 12 million looks ok
I have nothing against wenger BTW.
The only doubts i do have are about his seeming inability to replace the defence he inherited
we have not to my mind replaced any of the five very well

Well 2-0 Valencia, and tbh, it highlighter our weakness of the back four.
BUT whats the bet that Wenger says it wasnt too serious, and not much is needed?
as much as i trust him, he seriously needs to think about the defense more than the 'one attacking one defensive' signings.
THREE defensive signings will do me ! cover for RB, New CB like hangland, and decent cover for that position or DM

Look Dayyzz I've no wish to continue being annoyed at your constant negative attitude toward AW and his decisions about our team. Just at least try to accept the things you cannot change. Unless of course you are a fully payed up member of the supporters club and have an invested interests in the Arsenal FC. Life wasn't meant to be easy for Arsenal supporters, I've learned to accept that over the years. You will to if you stick around long enough.
Liverpool or very close to doing a Leeds. So it doesn't seem a great model to follow.
A Yahoo! User Aug 6, 2009 23:09 Flag
Part of that I believe is being put in for higbury but not all and as I guessed previously I don't think Wenger will spend until the Jan window depending on a bad league position like the previous year!!!
I just do not get it. We apparently have money to spend and yet we are looking for players on the cheap. Is the money being used to pay off the Highbury flats fiasco? Look at Liverpool; the moment they lose a quality player they bring in someone good. Puzzling how our club works...
I hear we just had another bid rejected for Federico Fazio another young but tall CB ...I have no idea if he is any good....
- 1 Reply to badboy
That's the puzzling aspect! When we make bids like these (if we do make them and they are not just agent ploys to get a quick buck for their wards!) we don't go for a better player for the fear of paying huge fees.
Wenger's preference for a "Good" deal, which can also be read as a cheap deal is famous. But at a time, when we NEED Good defenders, I believe no stone should be left unturned when money for once is not an issue.
Whoever Wenger chooses will be good if not great. But I hope the deal or deals happen before the start of the season. Everton away, then City and MU away are daunting tasks. Our attack is ready to give them a run for their money. But our defence doesn't inspire much confidence does it?
Damn! Forgot the real reason why I started this thread!! :D We play Valencia and I was thinking, if we get defensively exposed by the likes of Villa and Silva, it will be an early wake up call for Wenger.
Never ever do I hope for Arsenal to fair badly. But an inconsequential pre season friendly defeat could spring Wenger into action, if he isn't planning to. The matches against Atletico Madrid and Rangers showed we have holes in our defence but with "only" one goal resulting out of the whole exercise, Wenger could get away with the excuse of us losing focus, while it is just a fact of our defenders not being up to the task.
Heart says Arsenal should trash Valencia emphatically. Mind says a defeat (a trashing preferably) could actually be a blessing in disguise and help us achieve something more this season.
I know that's controversial hoping for something like this happen. But I fear were something like this to happen in the league, it might be too late to react! It happened last year against Fulham, Stoke, Hull, Spurs, Villa where we lost or drew matches we should have won.We can't afford such slip ups again.

Welcome to the Riverside Park Conservancy
Riverside Park is a lovely 18-acre wooded open space that rises from the Thames River to the Northeast New London neighborhood and the new Winthrop Elementary STEM Magnet School. Created in 1893, the park was a popular recreation spot - for games, picnicking, swimming and viewing the annual Yale-Harvard Regatta - for generations of New Londoners, until it became isolated due to the construction of I-95 and urban renewal. It remains a hidden gem whose unique landscape and sweeping views offer peaceful respite from the stresses of everyday life. Directions to the park.
Down by the Riverside Festival 2016
On Saturday, June 4, and Sunday, June 5, Connecticut will host the largest National Trails Day® celebration in the nation. Riverside Park Conservancy, in collaboration with Mitchell College and the Drop-In Learning Center, is sponsoring a walk through Mitchell Woods.
Join Master Gardener Coordinator Susan Munger for a close-up look at the recent renovation of the Mitchell Woods, which included removal of invasives and creation of new trails. Hopefully, the wood's large rhododendrons will be in bloom, too. The Drop In Learning Center, located on the property, will be open for tours after the walk.
For information about all of the events available in Connecticut, visit the CT Forest & Park Association.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. —The state Health Department's Public Health and Health Planning Council today approved the Certificate of Need (CON) regarding Upstate University Hospital's acquisition of Community General Hospital.
"The approval of the Certificate of Need today is a significant milestone and it moves us ever closer to meeting our commitment to strengthening healthcare opportunities in this region for our patients, while at the same time preserving local healthcare jobs," said John McCabe, M.D., chief executive officer of Upstate University Hospital. "We appreciate the hard work of so many at both institutions, in the Central New York community and at the state Health Department who have helped move this project forward."
The acquisition must now be approved by the Office of the State Comptroller and the Office of the Attorney General.
Upstate and Community General hope to complete the acquisition by July 7.

Dear Sir or Madam,
In March of 2005 I visited your Cherryvale Mall store in Rockford, Illinois, and purchased an eye exam, a pair or regular glasses with no-line bifocals and a pair of sunglasses. All of this cost me over $300.00. This week when I cleaned my glasses I found that one lens is scratched so badly it looks milky. To my fault I did not clean the lens with my cleaning cloth (I'd misplaced it), but I don't understand why there is so much damage.
I have worn glasses since I was 7 years old (I'm now 48). My glasses are crucial to my daily functioning and to my ability to be employed (I'm a part-time college reading instructor and a substitute teacher for grades K-12).
I called your store about the scratched lens and was told by your sales person your warranty and the insurance I purchased are only good for ONE YEAR. I don't have time to find the paperwork the store gave me because of work, but I could if necessary. She
also said I need a new exam every year so the store couldn't replace the lens without an exam. Ok, fine. But I don't have the MONEY for all that! So now I'm screwed and back to a pair of glasses I had before coming to your store.
I have old glasses (some that are 15 years old) which have some minor scratches but nowhere near the damage of the glasses I purchased from your company. And I have never used a "cleansing cloth" until I purchased glasses from your store. I really thought I was dealing with a reputable company which had quality materials. I have recommended to several friends that they visit your store because of the prices, the attractive frames, and the quick and professional service. As of now I will no longer do this and I will not return to your stores.
I'm so mad I could explode!

Secondly, the type of damage you mention could have been done with something like acetone or a similar cleaner if it was used on a polycarbonate lens. Most eyeglass stores use the same high quality lenses from vendors like Vision Ease, Silor etc. and given that you had no problems for over two years- there is no reason to believe that the lens quaility is an issue. Nor is there a reason to believe, based on your own report, that the eyeglass store is ripping you off.

Karen, more info please
AUTHOR: Aafes - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, August 09, 2007POSTED: Thursday, August 09, 2007
First, I am empathetic with your situation. I am wearing glasses that are 5 years old in which one lens is usable because of scratching. I am a former optician, and I won't even begin to detail the price gouging that occurs on an eyeglass purchase.
What type of lens did you purchase?
It is common practice for optical stores to upsell a lens to a customer that is not really necessary. It may have a unique name for the store but generally it is a lens with Anti Reflective coating. These lenses can be identified easily by a "greenish" colored reflection in the lens. If you look for the reflection of an overhead room light on the front of the lens it will appear green. These lenses are EASILY scratched if cleaned dry and if any cloth other than a lens cloth or 100% cotton is used. Window cleaner will also damage lenses quickly by deteriorating this coating. Glasses are NOT made from glass in most cases.
Also, if you use hair spray or spray cologne/perfume on your face while wearing the glasses the chemicals in these products will damage the lens.
If you purchased standard plastic or ultra thin plastic lenses, these lenses have a "scratch RESISTANT" coating - it is not however scratch proof. Again, cleaning these lenses without a lens cloth, cleaning them dry, or exposing them to chemicals, will, over time cause scratches on the lens surface. The life expectancy of these lenses is around two years in cases in which the lens is cared for properly only some of the time.
One one point the optical shop is correct without question. Once you reach the point you require bifocals it is even more vital you have an eye examination yearly. Not only to ensure your prescription is correct but the Optometrist/Ophthalmologist will check your eyes for formation of cataracts, your retina for early signs of glaucoma or other systemic disease in which symptoms which can first appear on the retina.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Okay, okay. I'm getting therapy. ...How do I do this?
After struggling with a few largely non-crisis issues for the last eight years or so, I've decided to go see a therapist. I've seen a counselor before, and she's lovely, but I feel like I need more cognitive insight now.

Lifelong struggle with mental illness - what else can I try?
I've been in and out of therapy my entire adult life (over twenty years) and am currently in treatment with a psychiatrist. The past few days I have been plagued with horrible feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness which culminated in crying uncontrollably this morning and unable to leave the house and go to work, and I barely managed to let my office know I wasn't coming in. I haven't been able to focus and I am sure everyone at work can tell how much my performance is slipping. I feel like a complete mess. No matter how good I can wind up feeling for a while, I always wind up back to this state. If I haven't managed to get to a good place in my life by now, how can I ever hope for improvement?

I'm Little_Dog. Not an alcoholic.
My therapist has recommended I regularly attend AA meetings. While it's true I quit drinking nearly 4 years ago, and alcohol had been a prevalent and destructive force in my life at that time, I have never experienced anything like a craving to drink in all the time I've been sober. My M.O. has always been a, "Eh, I'll have a drink when and if I ever feel like it. Which will probably be never, because I love this clear-mindedness!"-sort of thing. The therapist is treating me as a patient "in recovery". Fair enough: She can use whatever approach she sees fit, but now I'm entertaining the idea of AA and simultaneously questioning whether the therapist is a good fit for me. Yes, there are more details. [more inside]

Ramps, a simplistic physics-based puzzler from Backabit, is now available from the app store. Despite some control quirkiness and precision requirements, Ramps manages to entertain more than it frustrates.
Ramps Pros:
- Simple graphics
- Appealing old school arcade soundtrack
- Intuitive controls
- Tons of levels
- GameCenter integration for leaderboards and achievements
Ramps Cons:
- Repetitive gameplay
- Some level of precision required
- Control quirkiness results in occasional misidentification of intentions
Ramps features 100 levels spread across 2 distinct worlds, with more promised in the future. Each level requires you to drop a ball from a chute and direct it into the goal bucket by the use of a limited number of ramps. The ramps can be moved about by dragging from the center to its new position. The angle of each ramp is determined by dragging up or down on the outer end of the ramp until it is positioned in the appropriate direction. Each level has a number of challenges to complete to earn a golden trophy. These challenges typically include completing the level within a time limit, completing the level on your first attempt, and collecting coins that may appear somewhere in the level. A number of obstacles appear as you progress, such as snowball-throwing penguins that can slow the momentum of your rolling ball. Latter levels really require some precise placement of ramps to avoid getting stuck against barriers. Much of the challenge comes from managing the ball's speed to achieve your goal.
Graphically, the game has a very simple but pleasant look. There are lots of pastel colors and thick black outlines that give it a childlike feel, but it works well for this type of game. The soundtrack has a retro arcade feel to it, which works well with the graphical presentation. It doesn't annoy nor does it really enhance the gameplay. Controls, as previously mentioned, are touch-based and utilize simple drag mechanics. While responsive and easy to use, there are often times where we try to move a ramp when the game changes the angle instead and vice versa. You almost need to hold your finger on the center or edge for a beat before attempting to move the ramp so that the game can properly determine what you want to do. This wouldn't be a big deal, but with the gameplay being timed, it can cause frustration as you try to best a previous attempt or complete challenges.
Replay value is good, as GameCenter support brings global leaderboards for points earned and a couple dozen achievements to earn, though if you don't login to GameCenter the first time, it doesn't seem to register achievements properly. Earning golden trophies on all levels can also provide incentive to keep playing, too. For the sale price of $0.99, Ramps is a 4-Dimple challenge that's worth the investment.
