She said they needed $2500 for the title search, Then we would get the contract. I sent my $2500 money order ( should have been my first clue) fed ex to 3753 Howard Hughes Parkway suite 200-334, Las Vegas NV 89169. On Dec 11th I was contacted by John Maxwell, Who told me the title had come thru, and after a lengthy explaination of the process and that we would have a conference call to finalize the paper work and title change and that he needed#$3749.75 in closing costs. I said I do not have $3749.75 laying around, John. He said get it somehow cause the contract has to go thru for me to be re-imbursed. I actually broke into a CD savings I had and got the money.
I was scared at this point I already had my $2500, I better finish. I sent it . Now, no one will return my calls. All I get is the answer service. "Sylvia" tells me she gives the messages but it is there reponsibility to call me back. Right. I know I have been a victim of a scam. I can feel it in my gut. And I sent this guy my emergency savings and my cd savings I have saved for over seven years. Got me for $6249.75. That is like a fortune to me. I worked so hard for that money. And this liar just took it from me. I feel sick and can't sleep. This guy and his crew need to be stopped. Good hard working people are being taken and hurt.

I am 46 yr old female with thicker, oily skin with larger pores and blackheads. I've had 2 ablative laser procedures on face - Microlaser peel & Profactional and Starlux Ultrapulse C02. I had about 10 days of downtime and scabbing with both but neither improved my pore size. Just today I stumbled across a post on the Medlite C6 laser. Would it be worth the cost to give a try when ablative lasers have not worked?

A Tallahassee Senior Community has donated a set wheels to serve those who fought for our country.
The Heritage Oaks Retirement Community donated a van to the Veterans of Foreign Wars Retirement Home in Ft. McCoy, Florida.
Heritage Oaks officials bought a new van and handed off the keys of the old one to a few military veterans.
The new van will be of big use for retired veterans in South Florida.
David Harris with Veterans of Foreign Wars says, "Rather than go out and buy another van we can take that money and improve the conditions there to really help out families at the home."
The van will be used to shuttle retirees to local shopping areas.

Buy what looks like a harmless how to CD and after you have given them your credit card number, the fine print joins you in an over $30.00/ month grant search organization and an over $100.00 per month keyword search organization. They give you 3 days to cancel and the $1.97 is NON-REFUNDABLE. this is what they want. you get nothing for the $1.97 and if you do not cancel the others you will not get a refund on them either.
doing this thousand of time a day yeilds them looooots of money! $2.00 a pop, non-refundable at only 1,000 a day is $2,000.00/day or almost $800,00.00 per year! they get more like 10,000 hits a day until it is found by a big site and stopped. it is then moved to another site and continues. just 10,000 hits a day is over $8,000,000.00 per year.
A lot of non-refundable fees for nothing but operating a call senter in the far east. Last I heard they were getting in the number of 100,000 hits from all of the locations that allow it. without even collection the big charges which you have to cancel in 3 days they could be generating upwards of 800mil a year just for hassling people. if by chance you do get a grant CD from them, it is a copy of a publication available from the Federal Government for free.
WATCHOUT for a small charge info CD on anything. they always have fine print visable after you give them your information and cost $100's a month if you do not cancel it. ALSO, check your credit card statements for the credits and check the next months too, sometimes they delay the charge for a month, so you will not catch it.

What is a 'Bad Credit'
Bad credit describes an individual's credit history when it indicates that the borrower has a high credit risk. A low credit score signals bad credit, while a high credit score is an indicator of good credit. Creditors who lend money to an individual with bad credit face a greater risk of that individual missing payments or defaulting than creditors who lend to individuals with good credit.
BREAKING DOWN 'Bad Credit'An individual's credit history is dependent on a number of factors, including the amount owed, the amount of available credit and the timeliness of payments. An individual may have bad credit if he does not make timely payments or has defaulted on a loan during a period of time. Having bad credit makes it more difficult or costly to obtain loans, such as mortgages, from financial institutions.
How Credit Scores Are Determined
In the United Scores, the Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) calculates credit scores. Using information from the three credit bureaus, Experian, TransUnion and Equifax, FICO weighs various information in strategic ways to calculate the score.
Designed to offer a quick snapshot of an individual's credit worthiness, the FICO credit score gives payment history the most weight, and it constitutes over a third of the score. Thirty percent of the score is based on the amount owed, 15% on length of credit history, 10% on the mix of credit and 10% on new credit inquiries.
Payment history refers to whether or not payments were made on time, and the amount owed refers to the total amount of debt including mortgages, credit cards, bills in collections, judgments and other debts owed by the individual. Length of credit history takes into account the oldest account noted on the credit report, while credit mix considers how many different accounts a borrower has. For example, a borrower who only has credit cards scores lower in this category than a borrower with a mortgage, a car loan, a line of credit and a credit card. Finally, new credit refers to the number of credit inquiries recently made by the individual or the number of accounts recently opened.
Credit Scores That Indicate Bad Credit
FICO scores range from 300 to 850. Traditionally, borrowers with scores at or below 579 have bad credit. According to Experian, 61% of borrowers with scores in this range are likely to default or become seriously delinquent on their loans in the future.
Scores between 580 and 669 are labeled as fair. Only 28% of these borrowers are likely to become seriously delinquent on loans, making them considerably less risky to lend to than borrowers with bad credit scores. However, even borrowers within this range face high interest rates or have trouble securing loans.

New Mexico State athletic director Dr. McKinley Boston confirmed to fans and supporters in a letter Wednesday that the Aggies will play as an FBS Independent beginning in 2013.
In his letter, Boston wrote the following regarding NMSU's FBS status:
NMSU is committed to continuing at the Division 1 level and we are committed to our football program. Our focus is to win WAC championships and to be the best mid-major program we can be. Looking ahead, we are planning to play as an independent football program in 2013. Nine of 12 football games have already been scheduled with at least five of those games to be played at home. The entire 2013 football schedule should be available in mid-October. Even though our football program will be independent in 2013, NMSU will remain a WAC member in all other sports.
Last month, Boston stated that "unless something happens," New Mexico State would schedule for "independent football in 2013 and possibly 2014." "Unless something happens" likely meant if the Aggies were invited to a conference, but that never materialized.
New Mexico State and Idaho were the only two current football-playing members of the WAC that did not have a conference home in 2013. The Vandals will also likely play as an Independent in 2013 after the State Board approved the move last month. Idaho also has the option of joining the Big Sky without going to the board.
The WAC will drop football in 2013 because there won't be any football-playing members remaining. Boise State departed the conference in 2011, followed by Fresno State, Hawaii, and Nevada in 2012. In July of 2013, Texas State heads to the Sun Belt, Louisiana Tech and UTSA to C-USA, and San Jose State and Utah State join the MWC.
As Boston mentioned in his statement, New Mexico State has secured 9-of-12 games for their 2013 football schedule, and at least five of those games will be played at Aggie Memorial Stadium in Las Cruces.
Although no specific teams were mentioned, NMSU does have tentative games scheduled at Texas, UCLA, and New Mexico and a home contest vs. UTEP. The Las Cruces Sun-News also reported last month that the Aggies could face Idaho in a home-and-home series with both games played in 2013.
Football Schedules:
Best of luck to NMSU. I don't think they can be an FBS independent long-term, but short term it could work. Perhaps they'll get an invite from either C-USA, the Sun Belt or the Mountain West (although none seem likely in the short-term).
I have little hope for Idaho to do more than one season as an FBS indy (if they even manage that).
I wonder how many FCS teams (if any) they have scheduled for next year.
Best bet for NMSU, in my opinion, is in the Mountain West. 8 of the 10 current members of the MWC will be members next season, adding San Jose State and Utah State to bring the number back to 10.
MWC has time to contemplate adding NMSU and to find a 12th member to have a conference title game. NMSU might get support from the New Mexico Legislature, putting pressure on the Lobos to support their rivals.
With the way the Aggies left the Sun Belt, I think that bridge has been burned. With CUSA's additions of Charlotte and Old Dominion in the future (bringing the total to 12 next year and 14 in 2015), the conference is likely set. I'm thinking that should CUSA decide to add Appalachian State, New Mexico State MIGHT have an opportunity. But I'm not sure how much they add to CUSA, if anything.
I don't think a playoff game is not really going to be a money-maker for the MWC like it is for the top tier conferences. If anything it is an added roadblock for a MWC team that might get hot and jump into the NC picture one year.
If a team gets on a run and goes 12-0, why make them play another game vs Fresno or UTEP before they name the Top 4? It might help, but its more likely to hurt.
Also, where do you hold the game. Few places with major stadiums are within driving distance of more than 2 or 3 schools. Denver seems best, but even if CU, Wyoming or AFA makes it you are looking at a crowd of maybe 40K. If they don't the game will be a tough sell to the locals. Also, what kind of TV audience will they draw when the B10, Pac 12, SEC, ACC and (presumably soon) the Big 12 are also having their games the same weekend?
Let's not forget if big 12 goes raiding ACC to bring it up to 12 or even 14 either of those schools might get a shot if ACC brings in UCONN or Lousville n the Big East has to grab more from MWC or Conf USA
i doubt that'll happen. acc just upped it's exit fee to something like 50 million.

I've been using the Fusion theme for years, and it's been great. Just today, I upgraded the theme to the newest version (3.1) and my sidebars are crazy. They look different than they should in IE, but in Firefox the sidebar has disappeared down to the bottom of the page and off-screen to the left.
Is there any way to go back to an earlier version of Fusion? Or, if not, can anyone help me fix the sidebars in Firefox?
Many thanks!

Linux Swap Space
which gathers data over a four-minute time span every five minutes. You can analyze the resulting data using a utility called kSar (ksar.atomique.net) or at the command line. kSar has the advantage of making graphs that compare one metric to another.
You can check your historical usage by running sar against one of these data collection files. For example, to view data from the 2nd of this month:
# sar -f /var/log/sa/sa02
The most direct measure of swapping is reported from sar -W:
# sar -W -f /var/log/sa/sa02 00:00:01 pswpin/s pswpout/s 00:10:01 0.00 0.00 ...
The raw page numbers are a good start. If nonzero, you're doing some swapping. How much is acceptable is more difficult to judge. You'll need to examine the I/O on your swap partition. To do this, you may need to figure out the device major/minor numbers of your swap device. For example, if you swap to /dev/sdb1, use:
# ls -l /dev/hdb1 brw-r----- 1 root disk 8, 17 Dec 1 14:24 /dev/sdb1
to find that your device numbers are 8/17. Many versions of sar will report disk I/O by major/minor number. The command to look at the gathered disk data is:
# sar -d -f /var/log/sa/sa02 23:15:01 DEV \ tps rd_sec/s \ wr_sec/s avgrq-sz avgqu-sz \ await svctm %util 23:15:01 dev8-17 \ 0.00 0.00 \ 0.00 0.00 0.00 \ 0.00 0.00 0.00
If you have a lot of disks, use egrep to see only the header and device:
# sar -d -f /var/log/sa/sa02 | egrep '(DEV|dev8-17)' ...
Any swapping could be bad, but if you're seeing the avgrq-sz (average size in sectors of the requests that were issued to the device) below 1 and an await time that roughly matches svctm (average service time in milliseconds for I/O requests that were issued to the device), you may be okay. Check other indicators of system performance, such as CPU waiting for I/O and high system CPU times.
Figures 2 and 3 show some custom graphs generated with kSar that make it easy to see things more clearly.
Figure 2 is a graph comparing the amount of swap space used to the amount of time the CPU spent waiting on I/O. There are spikes of I/O wait, but they don't follow any sort of pattern with the swap use. However, this system deserves more attention because there is an I/O bottleneck of some sort. It is likely that this system is underperforming, but it probably is not a swapping issue (in this case, the I/O waits were heavy database request loads).
Figure 3 shows a graph comparing writes to the swap device vs. I/O wait (over a daytime time interval). It is a bit hard to see, but the red line for I/O is actually zero across the whole of the time span. This indicates that the I/O wait had nothing to do with swapping. Note that this does not mean no swapping of any sort occurred. Non-anonymous pages could have been reclaimed and reloaded.
If you are lucky enough to have all of your data on one partition and all of your code on another, you can analyze this sort of paging by watching the reads on your "code" partition. The reads will indicate program loading at startup (which may be infrequent on your systems) and also paging due to memory pressure. If the reads correspond to large I/O waits, you may benefit from more RAM.
The final parameter I want to talk about can affect the responsiveness of certain loads. Have you ever left your system idle for a few hours, only to return to find that it takes a long time to start responding again? Here is probably what is happening: while you were gone, a cron job (like updatedb) scanned the filesystem, and because you weren't using the computer, all of the code pages for your "inactive" programs were thrown out in favor of disk cache! There is a kernel parameter called vm.swappiness that will affect the tendency of the system to throw out code pages instead of others.
The default value of vm.swappiness is 60 on most systems. Changing this parameter to 0 will prevent the kernel from throwing out code pages for filesystem caching and will prevent your desktop from becoming zombie-like due to an unmonitored filesystem scan.
The default value is fine for production systems, because any services that are heavily used will be kept in memory due to their activity. This allows the file cache to expand over anything that is truly unused and generally will work better. It may be advantageous to tune this if you are pretty certain that the majority of memory for programs should be kept (for example, you run a database that does most of its own caching). It might also help to increase this parameter to 100 on systems that have a set of very active programs.
As with any performance parameter, it helps to have some benchmarks that simulate your real workload so you can measure the effects.
Tuning these parameters will lead to a virtual memory system that provides a more stable foundation, particularly for production systems running programs that consume large amounts of memory.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

I want to build a portal-like site about music events and I wonder if I could use WordPress for this task (cause I like how the admin panel works many many times more than drupal's/jooma's). So I'd to ask you, experienced users, if it's possible with small to moderate amount of programming work or should I look for another solution. My questions are:
1) Would it be possible to create such system using existing plugins?
2) If yes, could you advise which plugins would be useful? There are thousands of them and I'm a little bit overwhelmed :)
The site would consists of pages about cities and music bands. Each city would have a 'main' page (post) with an article about it and feeds with events (posts) in this city. The same with music bands. There will be some posts (like "Metallica will play in NY") which I'd like to be able to connect by tag or even better by some kind of drop-down list to a particular city (NY) and band (Metallica). Some posts will be only about a city or band. I'd also like to use traditional tags ('Metallica Tour 2010', 'East coast events').
So basically I'd like to add two dropdowns (or better something what whould let me deal with a large numer of cities) to a post edit page in the admin and create custom feeds on the frontend. I'd also like to add google maps for editing city's main page by writing a custom plugin.
Thank you very much for any help, I have a little time to choose the platform and I'd love to give WP a chance.

The 2013-14 basketball season gets underway tonight, with the McPherson College men and women on the road at Haskell Indian Nations University.
The Lady Bulldogs will have a new look this season Head coach Gordon Reimer takes the reigns of the program that went 14-15 last year and was sixth in the conference.
McPherson returns six from last year's team, with only three having played any significant time. That includes Cheyenne Eisenhower, Bailey Brown and Cami Engelbert.
That leaves 13 underclassmen to round out the roster, with 10 not on the team a year ago.
The McPherson men return four starters from last year's KCAC Tournament Championship team that exceeded all expectations on them.
Leading the charge in 2013-14 are seniors Samson Shivers, Devirous Johnson, Darius Hill and Joey Powers.
Shivers is less than 500 points away from the McPherson College total points record.
A new, yet familar, face will help run the point for the Bulldogs, as Kenny Berry, Jr., returns to the program. Berry was the 2011-2012 KCAC freshman of the year, but spent last season at another institution.
The women tipoff with Haskell tonight at 5:30 p.m., the men at 8 p.m.

Athens, GA - Lauren Herring, winner of nine U.S. National Junior tennis titles, signed a national letter-of-intent to attend the University of Georgia, Bulldog coach Jeff Wallace announced Friday.
Herring, a native of Greenville, N.C., is the daughter of C.L. and Debbie Herring. Earlier this year, she competed in the main draw doubles at the US Open in New York. She earned a wild card to the Open by winning the doubles title at the Girls' 18s National Hard Court Championship in August. Also, she managed to win a pro circuit singles title in October, claiming a United States Tennis Association (USTA) event in Amelia Island. Herring won all five matches in straight sets, cruising through the field as an unseeded player. She is rated a "Blue Chip" recruit by TennisRecruiting.Net and ranks fourth nationally in their Class of 2011.
"Lauren will fit in really well with our current student-athletes at Georgia," said Wallace. "Frank (Polito) and I are very excited that she decided to join the Bulldogs. She is one of the strongest and most talented junior players in the United States, and her experience in singles and doubles certainly will add to the Georgia tennis tradition. We are looking forward to her being on campus next year."
Currently, Herring trains at The Racquet Club of the South in Norcross with Brian Devilliers and Grant Stafford, and she is completing classes through Kaplan High School. While growing up in Greenville, her coaches included Troy Robinson, Matt Rowe and Mark Trail. Also, she spent two years in Boca Raton, Fla., at the USTA Training Center. Herring first started playing tennis when she was seven and by 2005, she was the nation's top ranked singles and doubles player in the USTA 12s age division. In 2007, she won national titles in the 14s, 16s and 18s. Also, she managed to be ranked No. 3 in the 14s, No. 5 in the 16s and No. 47 in the 18s through her play in various tournaments.
Herring is the latest addition to the Bulldogs who had the nation's top-ranked recruiting class last year. Georgia's 2011 squad features six freshmen, one sophomore, one senior and two returning All-Americans in juniors Chelsey Gullickson and Nadja Gilchrist. Herring will join the Bulldogs next fall.

You know diacritics, right? Letters like é,á,ü,ş,ă,î. I am a Hungarian living in Romania so I use them a lot. But I suppose Italians, Frenchmen etc. use them a lot also :P
So, what would I request? That TinyMCE would automatically convert these letters to their proper form. So that "é" for example shows up in the code like
Why would this be important?
1. If people don't have their browser encoding-setting set the right way, if an "é" occures in the code, all they will get is a box/questionmark (depending on IE/Mozilla). But if the web coding of the character appears, it will show up the same in all cases.
2. MySQL dump + query. For backup and restore that is. With the ampersand-code-semicolon the dump would be clean. With the diacritics as they are the dump is NOT clean and I lost my whole blog backup because of this.
Ok, so, when would it be ready? :D

Campus Quality:
I wish there were more student hangouts spot because my school do not really have any hangout spots besides a bar which is only permitted for those who are 21 and over. The athletic center is very crowded and there is very limited space for the students. Campus events are very dry because a lot of the students do not want to partake in it because of the school social setting.
Campus Quality:
The student life is awsome.
Campus Quality:
When it comes to studying and achieving a higher grade point average, the library and study areas are always full. Many students spend a numerous amount of time trying to receive the highest grade possible for a class, which is always a good thing. However, there is an obvious lack of extra-curricular activities that makes the campus a bit dull and too serious. There is also a lack of promotion for extra-curricular activities, which makes students miss out on some of the fun that comes along with being in college.
Campus Quality:
Everything is pretty average to a college campus. The academics and programs are excellent, with much support from faculty and fellow students. UMBC does not have a terribly large social scene, but you will make friends if you go out and try to. The school is basically what you make of it.
Campus Quality:
There are many different clubs and organizations on campus, but organization and time management of these groups vary.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
UMBC's facilities are clean and well built. Students can go to The Commons to grab a meal, take part in a karaoke night, see a movie, or watch a political debate. The Main Street area of The Commons is perfect for advocating important causes, promoting events, showcasing art, or sponsoring blood drives. The University Center's ground level is were two of the most popular restaurants on campus are located: Chick-fil-A and Starbucks. It is also a great hangout place where students meet to drink coffee, eat, and chat with friends. The Retrievers Activities Center, commonly known as the RAC, has an arena track, cardio balcony, fitness classes, a gym, pool, tennis court, and weight room.
The library is another great spot, and with five floors, it supplies students with plenty of study rooms. During finals and midterms, these rooms fill up fast, but luckily, students are able to access other buildings on campus to find a quiet area to focus on their studies. The Fine Arts Building offers high-tech music, photography, and dance studios for students to express their artistic talents. The Engineering building has a 24-hour computer lab where registered students are free to come and spend late hours of the night on assignments. Most UMBC classrooms are smaller, which gives students greater access to professors and a sense of intimacy during classes.

Product Reviews
I was worried about shipping damage with this size of product and past experience, but it arrived in fine shape. The packaging was extremely well thought out; very efficient, and very well reinforced. The table itself looks classy - the top has a subtle grain pattern, with large diamond-shaped sections criss-crossed to play on the look of the grain. The table issolid and stable, and assembly was easy. The chairs are robust, and the backs have a very comfortable and supportive shape. The upholstery material color and finsih is excellent. The cushions are firm, but give nicely to provide a comfortable seat, not just your regular foam padding, but probably something that feels like quality. The wood staining on the chair backs was slightly uneven and a couple could have used more stain along the top edge of the back. These are very slight imperfections, and I'm getting unsolicited compliments on this set from friends and visitors. In fact, I've ordered two more chairs to accommodate the table in its extended configuration. Pulling the table and inserting the leaf is fairly easy, and the table looks so stately that way! In short, I'm very happy with my purchase, so I give it 5 stars.

She sat zazen, concentrating on not concentrating, until it was time to prepare for the appointment. Sitting seemed to produce the usual serenity, put everything in perspective. Her hand did not tremble as she applied her make-up; tranquil features looked back at her from the mirror. She was mildly surprised, in fact, at just how calm she was, until she got out of the hotel elevator at the garage level and the mugger made his play. She killed him instead of disabling him. Which was obviously not a measured, balanced action--the official fuss and paperwork could make her late. Annoyed at herself, she stuffed the corpse under a shiny new Westinghouse roadable whose owner she knew to be in Luna, and continued on to her own car. This would have to be squared later, and it would cost. No help for it--she fought to regain at least the semblance of tranquillity as her car emerged from the garage and turned north.

Space-Time Origami Engine of Dreams
In 1994, theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre proposed a scheme for virtual faster than light travel using a real-world analog to the familiar science fiction trope known as "Warp Drive." The basic premise exploited certain space-time warping effects predicted by General Relativity to fold space-time, theoretically allowing a specially designed space craft to reach distant destinations effectively at FTL speeds without actually having to accelerate to light speed or beyond at all. There was, however, at least one major problem with the proposal: The math suggested it would require as much energy as the mass of the planet Jupiter to power the thing. But according to newer calculations based on a modified version of Alcubierre's original proposal, warp speed travel may now theoretically be within reach (warning: eyeball-gouging Space.com link), requiring drastically less energy than originally thought. Of course, not everyone's convinced there's anything to see here. And even so, prohibitive energy input requirements may not be the only serious challenge facing the development of real-world warp drive technology, so don't go packing your bags for that long overdue vacation to Risa just yet.

What I wrote was unquestionably fiction — was fantasy. Among Others has magic and fairies. But I was writing fantasy about a science fiction reader who had a lot of the same things happen to her that happened to me. It's set at the end of 1979 and the beginning of 1980, and it's about a fifteen year old just when I was fifteen, and from a family like mine and in the time and place and context where I was. I was using a lot of my own experience and memories. But this is Mori, not me, and she lives in a world where magic is real. Jo Walton, who as editor for tor.com revisisted the Hugos 1953-2000, now has one of her own, taking home the 2012 Best Novel Award for Among Others. Other winners include Kij Johnson for her Novella The Man who Bridged the Mist (excerpt) and io9 regular Charlie Jane Anders for her novellete Six Months, Three Days. The Best Graphic Story award went to the webcomic Digger by Ursula Vernon. E Lily Yu took home the Bets New Writer award (technically not a Hugo) and was also nominated for her short story The Cartographer Wasps and the Anarchist Bees. A couple of TV shows you have heard of also got awards. Links to many of the nominated stories here.
The Drowned World
John Barnes hates snark
Snark is the universal solvent of cultural conversation. Someone mentions Hemingway; you mention cross-dressing, drinking, and short choppy sentences. Not only did you not have to read Hemingway, you have one-upped the other person by not having read it; you know more about it than they do because you know the important thing, that Hemingway doesn't need to be read. Star Wars has a plot straight out of a comic book, the indescribable beauty of an athlete's best moment is just ritualized combat, any given religion is a collection of three or fewer especially silly-sounding superstitions, all academic subjects are useless hazing intended to keep the wrong people from being hired, all peace protestors are just trying to get on television and soldiers are all unemployed hillbillies whose masculinity feels threatened so they've enlisted for a chance to commit war crimes. Occupy Wall Street is rebels without a clue (itself a plagiarized phrase), the Tea Party is scared old people, and nothing in the wide world matters compared to the general wonderfulness of the observer. [Some 3700 words from a science fiction writer deriding and analyzing the emptiness of snark as a rhetorical mode. Might need to click through Blogger's NSFW warning, though it's just text.]
Magic realism: not fantasy. Sorry.
W.D. Richter's "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension"
... Buckaroo Banzai is paradoxically decades ahead of its time and yet completely of its time; it's profoundly a movie by, for, and of geeks and nerds at a time before geek/nerd culture was mainstreamed, and a movie whose pre-CG special effects and pre-Computer Age production design were an essential part of its good-natured enthusiasm. What at the time was a hip, modern take on classic SF is now, almost thirty years later, almost indistinguishable from the SF cinema that inspired it in terms of the appeal to modern viewers: the charmingly old-fashioned special effects, and the comparatively innocent earnestness of its tone. - Danny Bowes [more inside]

Remember in December of 2004 when the world was coming to an end? The media and all the pundits were telling us that Republican rule was here to stay. Yet two years later Democrats took back Congress and two years after that Barack Obama was elected President of the United States.
This is just a brief reminder that no matter how bad the headlines get for Republicans, we can't get overconfident — things have a way of changing very fast sometimes.

More than just a syllabus of emergency anesthesia, this book reviews much of the field of anesthesia, emphasizing emergency problems. Joining the authors are ten other British contributors, each writing in his special field of interest.
Out of a total of 20 chapters, the first few consider fundamentals, such as preoperative evaluation, anesthesia apparatus, and techniques of conduction anesthesia. The authors then discuss anesthesia for special emergency operative conditions. Most notable are the sections dealing with anesthesia for abdominal, obstetrical, and major vascular emergencies. There are two excellent chapters on the problems encountered in patients in the extreme age groups. Finally, the book deals with a variety of subjects such as postanesthetic complications and cardiac arrest.
Like many British books, this one is well written and a pleasure to read. Although dogmatic, most of the dogma is sound, and, if followed, would result in a minimum of difficulty.

Director Jon M. Chu re-ups for 'G.I. Joe 3'
'Retaliation' helmer is back for another go-round with the franchise
The "G.I. Joe" franchise is staying in business with Jon M. Chu.
The director, whose "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" has powered its way to a $365 million gross since its April release, is currently making a deal with the studios to reprise his role on the upcoming third installment in the series, according to Deadline. "Retaliation" grossed slightly over $120 million Stateside but really raked it in overseas, with 2/3 of its current gross coming from foreign markets.
Chu's previous credits include the second and third installments in the "Step Up" franchise and the concert film "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never."
Are you looking forward to "G.I. Joe 3"? Sound off in the comments.

About Dianne Brooks
New Items being added daily -- check back often!
After 30 years in corporate information technology, I re-discovered my artistic energy. In 1999, a friend invited me to visit a silver jewelry class. That did it-- I was hooked! Since then I have made over 1,000 unique pieces, many of which are now in private collections across the U.S. Many have earned ribbons in juried shows over the last 10 years at both the Visual Arts Center in Punta Gorda, Florida and at the Florida Society of Goldsmiths.
I love to design with the power of color and patterns by cutting many of my own natural stones and fusing my own glass, as well as through enamels (powdered glass fused on metal), intarsia (geometrically assembled stones) and its sister, inlay, polymer clay, Kumihimo (Japanese braiding), beads, and colored wire. A focal stone provides the inspiration for my gold, silver and copper jewelry designs. Call me a 'Swirly girl' -- I love flowing lines, curls and swirls. Usually an interesting stone will �tell me what it wants to be� and guides the design. I love working the metals � sawing, hammering, soldering, polishing, coloring, coiling � to give the stone center stage. I also love the organic experience of tooling leather. Each piece is one of my �children� and I give each one a name. I hope you love my �children� too. My work is for sale in Florida galleries or you can contact me directly. I would love to create a custom piece just for you.

David Copperfield
by Charles Dickens
David Copperfield Family Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
Me leave you? I think I see myself. Peggotty go away from you? I should like to catch her at it [...] I'll stay with you till I am a cross cranky old woman. And when I'm too deaf, and too lame, and too blind, and too mumbly for want of teeth, to be of any use at all, even to be found fault with, than I shall go to my Davy, and ask him to take me in. (8.60)
Peggotty seems to regard Mrs. Copperfield as her own. She swears never to leave her, and she keeps that promise, even though she has received a proposal of marriage and sharing the house with Jane Murdstone is agony. What do you guys think about this idea that servants can be part of the family? Can they truly belong to the family that employs them? And how do the other characters in the novel feel about Peggotty's place in the Copperfield-Murdstone household?
Quote #5
Because his brother was a little eccentric—though he is not half so eccentric as a good many people—he didn't like to have him visible about his house, and sent him away to some private asylum-place: though he had been left to his particular care by their deceased father, who thought him almost a natural. And a wise man he must have been to think so! Mad himself, no doubt. (14.53)
Here, Miss Betsey is describing Mr. Dick's back-story. His own brother shuts Mr. Dick up in a mental institution because he doesn't "like to have [Mr. Dick] visible about his house." In other words, Mr. Dick's brother is too ashamed of him to allow Mr. Dick to continue living with him. Does Mr. Dick's role in this novel offer explicit criticisms of the treatment of the mentally ill in Dickens's day and age? Or is the object of this critique the general importance of family loyalty?
Quote #6
I tell you, my good fellow, once more, that it would have been well for me (and for more than me) if I had had a steadfast and judicious father! (22.26)
Steerforth admits that he could really have used more discipline growing up – the guidance of a "steadfast and judicious father." We see several images of loving, steadfast father figures – Doctor Strong and Mr. Peggotty, for example. Where are the loving, tough, positive mother figures? The only one we can think of is Miss Betsey, and she is described at one point in the text as "masculine" (41.127). Does Dickens imply that women cannot be authoritative parent figures? Or can you think of counterexamples?
