Food That Smells Too Good To Eat
Enhancing the aroma of food might help dieters eat less

Dieters will be delighted if food research under way in the Netherlands fulfills its promise. There, scientists have shown that manipulating food aroma can curb appetite. These findings could enable manufacturers to produce foods that help consumers stick to their diets.
"You can smell aroma in two ways," notes Rianne Ruijschop, who is leading the project at Nizo food research, a contract research company with headquarters in Ede. Aroma inhaled through . . .

A personal message ...
I started this site in response to a need I perceived when speaking to single "outdoorsy" friends. With one in particular, a keen walker, we were discussing her engagement to a really nice guy she had met locally. Unfortunately he wasn't the "outdoor" type. His idea of sport was a Saturday morning in front of the telly with a beer. It was clear in our conversation that there was an area of her life that was missing from their relationship. When she spoke of the hills she spoke with a note of sadness in her voice, a sound of loss. The story was the same with other friends; they could meet perfectly nice acceptable partners through local friends and activities, but there was always something missing.
It was after these conversations that I resolved to start the site. To help like minded people get in contact. To avoid the sadness. Oh yeah ... and to make a bit of money.
Little did I know the emotional journey I was about to go on. The e-mails I received brought tears to my eyes on a regular basis. People feeling desperately lonely would write about how the site had brought new friends and joy to their lives. Others would speak of the discovery of their perfect partner and a new life they didn't expect. Still more would just overflow with thanks for unspecified benefits and merely ask that I "Keep up the good work."
In short, behind the anonymity of the internet there are Real People, with Real Lives.
If you're not already a member I hope you'll join our community and find your own share of joy.

You recently updated echo_ald_crp to add a $cache = 0 argument. This wasn't the best move as ald_crp (which echo_ald_crp calls) accepts an array containing a variety of options. You're limiting yourself unnecessarily. You should use the following instead:
function echo_ald_crp( $args ) {
echo ald_crp( $args );
For reference what you currently have is:
function echo_ald_crp($cache = 0) {
echo ald_crp('is_widget=0&cache='.$cache);
is_widget already defaults to 0 in the ald_crp() method and cache defaults to 0 in crp_default_options().
Another benefit of this approach is that it will ALWAYS obey the user's settings in admin. The version you have not only limits what you can do with echo_ald_crp, it actively ignores a users preferences.

This kind of season for the Bulls, somewhat unexpected at 31-14 given the serious injuries to Carlos Boozer and Joakim Noah, makes basketball fun. And the Bulls were enjoying themselves after Monday's 92-83 United Center win over the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Bulls Tuesday defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 90-77. That was good.
The Bulls did so with still another relatively prosaic effort, mostly grind-it-out half court basketball with way too many jump shots and limited movement for most of the game that was bailed out by some very good defense. That was not so good.

The score doesn't much matter in the preseason, though coach Tom Thibodeau said after the Bulls lost 92-83 Tuesday in Milwaukee that you always want to win.

That was in December. When I noticed rust stains along the top of the new furnace in July, I called for service. Even though a Thompson technician had checked my air conditioning unit in the early spring, it seems that the condensation drip pan under my A coils above the new furnace had rusted out.
Ernie came to check on my rust stains. He said he would try to repair the drip pan. When he left at 11:00, he told me not to turn on the air until 1:00 to allow the caulking to dry.
I waited until 3:00. When I turned on the air I now had water running (not dripping) out of the corner of the unit. This was much worse than just a few dried stains. I called again and was told Ernie was on his way back. He never came.
I called again the next day and Greg was sent out. He said he could replace the A coils for $1600. I called Tom Brooks to complain about the way I had been treated. He offered sympathy only, and said he would talk to Greg. He never called me back.
I called another company. I found out that I can have my A coils replaced for less than half of what Thompson wanted, and that I had been way overcharged for the furnace too.

This installment follows Douglas as he creates a portrait for Kodak's On Film series, which features portraits of directors, cinematographers, and other major players in the film industry. Douglas has shot nearly 250 portraits for this series over the past 20 years.
The course begins with a discussion of the unique qualities of film—its clarity, definition, and tonal range—and of film's enduring importance in today's digital world. Next, Douglas tours the Mamiya RZ67 medium-format camera, demonstrating its components and comparing its format to 35mm film. He then demonstrates a variety of lighting, posing, and styling techniques while photographing Owen Roizman, an award-winning cinematographer, in the Kirkland studio in Los Angeles, California.
The course concludes with a critique of the resulting photographs. Douglas also shows how he resized and cropped the image to fit a print advertisement.
Skill Level Intermediate
Douglas Kirkland: So what we are doing here is quite a different look than we have done with the soft boxes a few minutes ago. We have one soft box here on the bottom acting as a fill light, but fundamentally, we have this one sort of lighting, I'll call it coming-from-heaven-up-above lighting, which will become Owen's profile. One and a half there, and I want this much weaker. Douglas: Now, would you weaken this? Have you weakened this to a maximum? Miranda: Are they split? (inaudible speech) Douglas: Okay, then the next thing we will do is walk away with this. It's that simple.
You have all of these controls. Actually, as strange as it may seem, our key is really right there. It's 11 1/2 there, in the shadow here. Now, it's more like it, it's 8.3. That's what I want, a full stop less there. And now let's see what we have here in the background. It's going to be pretty bright. It is bright. It's 16.3, which will be just fine. Okay, I think we are ready for--first let's bring our subject in. Okay, this is, I like what you are doing very much, very much, yes.
Okay, now pull your glasses off and just keep them in your hand there. Yeah, that's great. That's nice, nice. I love what you are doing. You can even look down there, like you just did there. Owen Roizman: Do you have this in the shot? Douglas: Yeah, it is okay. It's fine. It's fine. It's okay, nothing is wrong. Okay, nice, wonderful. There is the Polaroid. I want you to see what we were doing. Douglas: It's a different look. Owen: Yeah. Mmhm. Douglas: It is going to be quite nice. Owen: Yeah, it is nice. It's a very different type of lighting. This key light up here gives us this back-light look, and of course, Owen sat down in an absolutely perfect way, and I love it. Guys, can you give me one grid wider on the background please, one click wider? I want to make this background spotlight bigger, which we can do.
But I love the way you are seated there, so it's a very elegant, very special look. I hope you are not uncomfortable without your glasses. I mean you can wear glasses too. Let's do a few both ways. Owen: Most of the time the only time I put them on when I am in front of a camera is just to hide the bags a little more, but I know you've got that well taken care of. Douglas: Great, nice! Look up a little higher Owen. Yes, yes, even higher. Yeah, yeah, even up on the wall, yes, yes, nice, nice, nice, yeah, yeah. Now you can look a little happier for me, yes, yes, nice, nice.
Now bring your glasses over and put them on actually, if you don't mind, since you--God! You look like you could be President of this company in a minute. Okay, now pull your glasses off and just hold them near your face, if you don't mind, and yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, a little happier, drop them a little there in front of your face, yes, yes, yes, nice, nice, nice, nice. I am going wide to the wide shot again. I am using that zoom lens, and I am going to see Owen's hand, even on the table.
I love it, so I am getting two pictures out of one, basically. Now I see on my left I am just running out of background, and I am electing to cut it as close as I can because I know either I can also fix it in the Photoshop if I have to. Okay, now let's put a Polaroid in right now. I want everybody to see what we're-- if you don't mind, stay there for just a second, Owen, please. I want to do a Polaroid immediately, so everybody can share what we've done and immediately see it. I wouldn't necessarily do that again if I had a nervous young man or lady there, but with you--yes, yes, yes, yes. Okay, great, 30 seconds please.
Okay, Owen there you are in the Polaroids. I am cropping this as it will be cropped, but I think it looks pretty cool. And then I get in, I zoomed in, again just to your head and shoulders, but these are the early ones, because I wanted to check the overall light. And this is, I mentioned that there was something on the edge. Douglas: When it's cropped vertically, you won't see that. Owen: Right. Douglas: But that's where we began. You know, the interesting thing is I've been doing this for 20 years--here, take that one home, Douglas: it isn't folded, if you like to. Owen: Thank you! Douglas: What's your impression of this overall campaign that Kodak has conducted? Owen: Yeah, I think it was wonderful! I mean especially in the light of the fact that we like to all see film stay in vogue.
It was such a great medium. It is such a great medium still, and you made it so comfortable for everybody. I wanted to ask you a question. Were you ever intimidated by the fact that you are photographing people like cinematographers, like us, who really know what you are doing? Douglas: Truly no. You know what I do if I feel a moment of intimidation? I think to myself, my gosh! I handled Dietrich when she was kind of wild, and I was certainly nervous as a very young man in 1961 when I photographed Marilyn Monroe. And then I've gone all over the world, and if I can manage those days, I can certainly get through today.
And so I do talk to myself that way in my head. Now what do you think? You've been on both ends of it, as cinematographer as well as stills. Do you have any philosophies like that? Owen: Well, I mean the main thing I am going for is I want to get the personalities. I want to get into their souls. To me, the way you do that is through the eyes. The eyes are the most important thing. So I always try to light in--when I am lighting, I try to have in mind how the eyes are going to look. Douglas: It's interesting! I was watching your eyes.
That's why I kept moving this light and everything, because I wanted to see the Douglas: sparkle in both eyes, not just in one, and I did. Owen: Right. Owen: Then of course, I think okay, what's going to be the best light for this face? Because every face is different, as you know. And so I start with the eyes, then I think about the face and the personality, and what kind of expression is going to bring out that personality that I know? If it's somebody whose personality I am not sure of, I'll start to play around with them and ask them to do silly things and things like that, to see how their expressions look.
Douglas: Did you find some of your subjects are nervous and stiff? Owen: Most of them are. It's amazing that cinematographers get in front of a camera and they don't know what to do. They are stiff, and it's a matter of loosening them up. Douglas: You've got a harder job than I have Owen. You really do. Douglas: You have head, and anyway-- Owen: It's all relative. Douglas: Anyway, it's On photography. We love it, and the On Film series that I've worked with Kodak on, and with friends such as Owen, has been very gratifying for me.
Anyway, so we want to make the most of the opportunities we have, and I want to say one other thing. You make the images. Just lighting Owen today, I feel really energized. I mean, the soft boxes were great, and that's a wonderful look. But again, there is a different type creativity in what we've just used. You have such possibilities. Use them, make the most of it, and keep enjoying photography.

Soundtracks and Theater
Top Broadway Musicals
Broadway musicals and their show tunes are fun to listen to. Those who are fond of stories (or concepts) in their music are drawn to musicals or songs of the musical theater. Needless to say, people who have seen the actual musical performed on Broadway or any other stage will enjoy listening to the music more.
The music in Broadway musicals are usually rousing and danceable, passionate and romantic, or clever and comic. The genre of music can range from classical and operatic, to jazz, pop, to rock, occasionally mixed together. Many of the songs become top popular hits, sung or adapted by popular singers, but it is always best to hear the songs in their actual musical stage context.
Here are the top Broadway musicals, many of which has gone on to become classics:
1. West Side Story (1958) – A retelling of the Romeo and Juliet tale set in the background of New York's racial gang warfare. All of the music of this Broadway musical are consistently good and inspired – some are full of passion (Tonight, Maria, One Hand, One Heart, Somewhere), some are rousing (America, Tonight Quintet), and some funny (Gee, Officer Krupke, I Feel Pretty). When seen with the dancing, it's one of the most memorable experience!
2. My Fair Lady (1957) – This witty, funny, very delightful musical is a classic that defined a generation (early 60's). Story of a dirty flower girl whom an English professor taught to speak proper English until he was able to pass her off as a princess in a ball. Great music includes "I Could Have Danced All Night", "On The Street Where You Live". Other delightful music that Rex Harrison as the original professor half-sang and half-recited include "Why Can't The English", "A Hymn to Him" and "I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face".
3. The Sound of Music (1959) – Famous for the wildly popular movie version starring Julie Andrews, this was Rodgers and Hammerstein's last musical. It is about a young Austrian woman studying to become a nun but was sent as a governess to the seven children of a retired naval officer. Every song from the movie version is a classic – "Do-Re-Mi", "Climb Ev'ry Mountain", My Favorite Songs", among others. "I Have Confidence" and "Something Good" are movie version songs that replaced "An Ordinary Couple", "How Can Love Survive?" and "No Way To Stop It" from the original Broadway version.
4. Camelot (1960) – this Broadway musical takes you to the time of King Arthur and tells the story of how love can destroy a "brief, shining moment that was known as Camelot". "If Ever I Would Live You" has become a classic. Other enjoyable songs include the comically self-confident "C'est Moi", the comically self-deprecating "I Wonder What the King is Doing Tonight", Guenevere's melodious songs "The Simple Joys of Maidenhood", "The Lusty Month of May, and "Before I Gaze at You Again".
5. The Music Man (1958) – Meredith Wilson's musical is a high school musical staple The story is set in Iowa, about a con man who sells musical instruments but gets caught because of his love for Marian the librarian. Every number is a delight – from the opening "The Traveling Salesman" to "Goodnight My Someone" to "Ya Got Trouble" and "Seventy Six Trombones". Even the quaint "Lida Rose", sung by a barbershop quartet is delightful. And of course, "Till There Was You" is so good the Beatles even recorded it!
6. Chicago (1975) – This cynical musical from Kander and Ebb set in the 1920's is a satire on how society turns criminals into celebrities. Every song is a vaudeville number – "Cell Block Tango", "All that Jazz" and "Razzle Dazzle" are showstoppers. It is currently the second longest-running musical in Broadway history and became famous for the movie adaptation winning Best Picture of 2002.
7. Grease (1972) – A fun romp full of 50's inspired music about the youth of the 50's discovering love, friendship, class conflict and pregnancy. You'll love it for the toe-tapping choruses "We Go Together", "Greased Lightning" and "Born to Hand Jive", as well as the love song "Hopelessly Devoted To You".
8. Fiddler on the Roof (1965) – a tuneful musical about a Jewish father whose traditions are being challenged by his five daughters and the changing world. The best songs in this musical are "Sunrise, Sunset", "If I Were A Rich Man", and "Matchmaker, Matchmaker". "To Life" and "The Bottle Dance" are rousing, while "Tevye's Dream" and "Tradition" are fun.
9. Gypsy (1959) – This often-revived Broadway musical from Laurents, Styne and Sondheim is referred to as the greatest American musical by many critics and writers. It is often cited as the "King Lear" of musicals because many top singer-actresses covet the role of Rose. It is loosely based on the 1957 memoirs of the famous striptease artist Gypsy Rose Lee. Excellent songs that became standards includes "Everything Coming Up Roses", "Small World", and "All I Need is the Girl". "You Gotta Get A Gimmick" is a comic showstopper.
10. Company (1971) – This musical differs from the traditional musical in that it is comprised of vignettes (linked by Bobby's 35th birthday) instead of a straightforward plot. Sondheim's clever music and cleverer lyrics are not immediately accessible, but they grow on you. You will also empathize if you're into marriage and relationships. Favorites include "Being Alive", "The Ladies Who Lunch" (two songs made famous by Barbra Streisand), "You Could Drive A Person Crazy" and "Side by Side by Side".
11. Kismet (1954) – The musical is full of wonderful, tuneful, exotic music based on themes by the Russian composer Alexander Borodin. All of the songs are excellent, with "Stranger in Paradise" and "Baubles, Bangles and Beads" becoming classics. My personal favorites are "Fate" and the beautiful quartet "And This Is My Beloved".
12. Oklahoma (1943) – Oklahoma, the granddaddy of them all – the first musical with depth and psychological complexity – is as fresh as when it was created by the genius of Rodgers and Hammerstein. All songs are memorable from the classic opener "Oh, What A Beautiful Mornin" to the rollicking "The Surry with the Fringe On Top" to the beautiful "Out of My Dreams", the bitter "Lonely Room" to the rousing title song "Oklahoma".
13. Carousel (1945) – Richard Rodgers of the iconic Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote that Carousel was his favorite of all his musicals. It is about a Carousel barker whose life was changed by the thought of having a daughter. "If I Loved You" is to many one of the best Broadway song ever. "You'll Never Walk Alone" became a classic hymn of faith. "Soliloquy" is a one of a kind 8 minute song of a father who has dreams about what his son would be, then realized that he might have a daughter.
14. Hello, Dolly (1964) – very delightful musical with a farcical plot about a widow who puts her hand on matchmaking penniless clerks. Rousing numbers include "Put on your Sunday Clothes", "Before the Parade Passes By", "Elegance", and of course, the title song "Hello, Dolly". "It Only Takes A Moment" is a beautiful ballad.
15. Kiss Me Kate (1948) – this Broadway musical from the witty tunesmith Cole Porter is about the production of a musical version of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew. Two romantic stories intertwine. It is Cole Porter's first attempt to make the music and lyrics integrated with the script, and it became his biggest hit. "So in Love" is a classic romantic love duet. Other classic songs include "From This Moment On" and "Another Op'nin, Another Show".
16. South Pacific (1949) – The Rodgers and Hammerstein musical set in a South Pacific island during World War II has a strong anti-racial prejudice theme that was controversial at that time, especially in the Southern U.S. Unforgettable songs include "Some Enchanted Evening", "Happy Talk", "Bali Ha'I", "Younger Than Springtime" and "This Nearly Was Mine".
17. Guys and Dolls (1950) – The brash musical with music and lyrics by Frank Loesser and book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows is based on two short stories of Damon Runyon and is about gangsters, gamblers, and other characters of the New York underworld. It is brimming with standards that include "I'll Know", "If I Were a Bell", "I've Never Been In Love Before", Luck Be a Lady" and the title song "Guys and Dolls"
18. The King and I (1952) – Rodger and Hammerstein's fourth musical is about the experiences of Anna, a British schoolteacher in the 1860's who was hired by the King of Siam to teach his children and modernize his country. Tunes range from the delightful "Getting to Know You" and "I Whistle A Happy Tune" to the more dramatic "We Kiss in a Shadow", "I Have Dreamed", and "Hello Young Lovers".
19. The Pajama Game (1954) – The Adler and Ross musical is about the labor troubles in a pajama factory where worker demands for a seven and a half cent raise. The head of the grievance committee and the new factory superintendent falls in love in the process. "Hernando's Hideaway" and "Hey There" are now standards. Other stand-outs are "Steam Heat" and "I'm Not At All In Love"
20. How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying (1961) – The Frank Loesser musical is a satire on climbing your way to the top in the business world. It is about a young, ambitious man who rises from window washer to chairman of the board with the help of a book. Except for "I Believe in You", there is hardly a song that became popular outside the theater, but like the best musical theater songs, are best enjoyed in the context of the plot.
21. A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (1962) – This very funny farce set in ancient Rome tells the story of a slave who attempts to win his freedom by helping his master win the heart of the girl next door. The songs, typical of Sondheim, are clever and witty, including "Comedy Tonight", "The House of Marcus Lycus", and "Pretty Little Picture".
22. Oliver! (1960) – The British musical from Lionel Bart has a great plot because it is based on Charles Dicken's novel "Oliver Twist" about an orphan boy's experience with the shady characters of London slums. But what makes this musical become a well-loved classic are the outstanding songs that include "Where Is Love", "I'd Do Anything", As Long As He Needs Me", "Who Will Buy", and "Consider Yourself".
23. Man of La Mancha (1964) – the Darion and Leigh musical introduced "The Impossible Dream" to the world. It is structured as a play within a play, with Miguel de Cervantes in prison telling the story of Don Quixote, the idealistic "mad knight" and his faithful squire Sancho Panza.
24. Cabaret (1966) – this Kander and Ebb Broadway musical is set in 1931 Berlin when the Nazis are starting to rise to power, and two unlikely couple, a cabaret performer and a young American writer were caught in the turmoil of the political developments. The Kit Kat Klub, the setting of the musical, is a metaphor for the moral decay of Weimar Germany. The title song "Cabaret" is a classic. "Wilkommen", sung by the amoral Master of Ceremonies, is also popular. "Maybe This Time" is from the multi-award winning movie version.
25. Les Miserables (1980) – the sung through musical by Boublil and Schoenberg is based on Victor Hugo's novel set in 19th century pre-revolutionary France about a French peasant who escaped prison and seek for redemption, but was relentlessly pursued by a police inspector. Great songs include "I Dreamed A Dream", "On My Own", "Master of the House", "Bring Him Home" and "One Day More".
26. Jesus Christ Superstar (1970) – This once controversial rock musical about the last days of Jesus actually contains music in a variety of genre. It's mostly rock of course, but there's also pop (I Don't Know How To Love Him) classical (John 1941) charleston (King Herod's Song) and opera (The Last Supper)! Other favorites are "Gethsemane" and "Everything's Alright". A feast for the ears!
27. Follies (1991) – the other pastiche Sondheim musical with theme about relationships has many wonderful, classy, intelligent songs that are surprisingly tuneful. The best of Sondheim songs here include "Losing My Mind", and "I'm Still Here". Many can relate to "The Road You Didn't Take". "Broadway Baby" is a guilty pleasure.
28. Damn Yankees (1955) – This Adler and Ross hit musical is about a Washington Senators fan who sold his soul to the devil and transformed himself into the baseball player Joe Hardy to win the pennant. "Heart" and "Whatever Lola Wants" are two popular songs.
29. Bye Bye Birdie (1960) – This satirical musical is about an Elvis Presley-like rock and roll superstar who got drafted in the army, and the effect it has on teen-agers in small-town Ohio. The best known song is "Put on a Happy Face", immortalized by Dick Van Dyke who played the original role of Albert, the manager. "A Lot of Livin' to Do" is also a standard.
30. Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat (1982) – The story of the Biblical David the Dreamer with enjoyable songs that parody many genres – French Cafe (Those Canaan Days) country (There's One More Angel in Heaven), calypso (Benjamin Calypso) and Elvis (Seven Fat Cows)! This early Rice and Webber is a lot of fun to listen to. Famous for "Any Dream Will Do."

Love this piece. However, in the description of CAMELOT the song "If ever I would LEAVE you" is written as LIVE you. You might want to correct that.

Hi Zack - As you know Gravity forms checkboxes allow aggregate checkboxes where multiple options can be checked off. The problem I am facing is that if we have 6 values where people can check off multiple check boxes, I have no way of capturing the correct value to the correct field in Infusionsoft.
The problem is similar to what another user was facing for your Salesforce plugin http://wordpress.org/support/topic/checkboxes-or-multi-selects-not-working?replies=5

6th kyu

Re: 6th kyu
Mike Braxton
However, the requirements for each rank is not as extensive as other dojos in foreign countries. So a blackbelt or any kyu rank in a foreign country could actually know a lot more than his/her Japanese counterpart.
Are we equating extensiveness with the number of
techniques tested? A black belt could have only a superficial knowledge of a vast array of techniques, while completely failing to meet the requirements for the ones outlined in the minimum standards of the founder's organisation. You could make the Aikikai
syllabus the 10th
requirements for your local dojo in order to claim you have "more extensive requirements" than the Japanese. However, if you expect that 10th
to be able to do those techniques at the same standard as the
, that person is probably going to have to put in the same amount of mat time and effort (you might also want to introduce a few
s prior to 10th in this case and don't go complaining if you never have any
I've only trained at the Hombu a few times, but every time, without fail, I have met talented foreigners funnily enough. The counterparts you refer to are not only Japanese. Those that are Japanese get to train with foreigners regularly, under some of Osensei's direct students, several times a day. I'd say the teachers are more important than the tools they use to measure progress. The ranks are just way-markers and every teacher will have different ways of applying and extending their testing criteria.
What do you think the minimum requirements should be for the many nationalities and thousands of teachers that train under the Aikikai umbrella?
Anja Lampert
We also have 6th kyu in our dojo and I just passed my test today!
Didn't mean to test, but my Sensei told me to go for it, and actually you can't say no, if your Sensei asks you for something, can you?!
But although me being quite confused while testing I received my 6th kuy today!
If he asks you for your PIN number or something I'd say no, but if he thought you were ready to grade, it probably means a lot. I remember going to a seminar once and getting a grading sprung on me out of the blue. I'm sure they accounted for any confusion, both in my case and yours, since you don't have as much time to prepare when you don't think you're going to test. Well done!

Basically i have several blogs running that share identical link list. Whenever i need that updated, i have to and update it manually from each installation.
Considering that i could have one master blog, formwhich the other blogs would for example fetch the link set with /wp-links-opml.php and update.
The only plugin i found so far having this feature is WP_LinkTools. I'll start to look into that one, but if you have any hints of other good plugins that would either do what i described or reach the same goal even with better design, i'd greatly appreciate it.

Here is the RC thread!
Here is the RC thread!
Sick nuts.
On a side note, if we ever meet the DrunkCast crew in person I want to challenge them to a drinking contest. MrDillinger is expempt because he's a sissy lightweight girly man who can't hold his piss.
I want to find somebody who would fund RC:The Movie.
Do you guys have ANY games you are allowed to play? I mean..it seems like nearly everything is banned.
We were allowed to play a game once but then the government found out and took it of us.
So the other day I was just raping this girl right, minding my own business, when the cops bust through the front door and arrest me for possession of a deadly weapon. Next time I'll hide my copy of Scribblenauts.
I find it really strange that I'm allowed to watch whatever the fuck I want, and I'm allowed to chainsaw guys in Gears of War or crush people into a bloody mess (or slice them in half) in Prototype, but they've got their knickers in a knot about Left 4 Dead 2.
... which is the bizarre thing. You can gut humanoid aliens with a chainsaw in pretty visceral detail, but doing the same to a zombie ain't ok? The classification boards decisions seem to be completetly illogical. They ban one game for one reason, but let another similar game through.
Exactly, what about the F.E.A.R games? Buckets of human blood.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
ripoffhell.com is a site supposedly dedicated to remove sites like this one from the internet.
because the owner of the web page has decided she was beaten, pummeled and crushed by countless reports about her online.
Why would there be countless reports about her on the internet? Most likely due to countless fake names used to harass many many people.
Shanda Lancaster uses fake names and her real name (stuupid) to harass several people online. If you "out" her, disagree with her or show you dont share her same feelings about something, you are then her sworn enemy.
Ever since getting served with a lawsuit, Shanda has tried and failed to convince anyone who will listen that she is an advocate against hate and is for animal rights.
I'll give her that. [continued below]....
YIKES. thats a whole lotta fur all over everything and very unsanitary. ASPCA anyone?
On ripoffhell.com she wants you to click on the part that shows who she "really" is, but all of her victims will never allow her to do that.
Shanda's fake charities are just that. Fake. She may love animals and alzheimers and the other fake things she claims to be a part of but shanda hasnt spent any real time being involved with them. this is a fake attempt to "REPAIR" her battered reputation online which she has deserved the the fullest extent possible.
In shanda's mind she has never done anything wrong.
not once.
Not even a year ago
Not last week
Not when she was a teen...
Not ever
shanda is PERFECT. Get it thru your heads people. shanda is an angel. lolololololololololol
Everyone just up and decided one day to create a sheetload of reports about her just because it was something to do that day. couldnt have ANYTHING to do with her constant stalking and bad behavior.
ripoffhell.com is a way to detour the public from the truth but Shanda is so nuts, it wouldnt fool anyone anyways.
ripoffhell.com is not a legit site and nothing will ever get consumer sites removed. Since Shanda exercises her right to foul mouthed free speech, then the report sites can do it as well.

Shanda has never claimed to be anything, if anything she has stood up for what she believes in.
You contradict everything you have said here, by not posting in your real name, by being a complete hypocrite and by accusing Shanda of everything you are in fact guilty of.
I must admit, I found this particular complaint a complete riot and so d**n funny.
Shanda does not need to convince anyone of anything, she is no longer a defendant.
I am sure you will come back with a witty retort splattered with inaccuracies and hate, that would be fitting, as you are such a huge hypocrite, you will not allow anyone to have an opinion other than your own. Fire away!
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?

Aussie obesity rates growing second fastest in the world
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- May 29, 2014
BIGGER, fatter, faster: The true scale of Australia's obesity epidemic has been laid bare by new research which shows we're expanding at the same rate as the notoriously porky United States.
The largest increase in adult obesity in the world occurred in Australasia in the past 30 years, according to the damning new league table of world fat rates.
Half of all Australians who are overweight are now classified as obese (a BMI of over 30) a new study by The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington shows.
Thirty four years ago Australia ranked 63rd in the world for obesity, by 2000 we were 41st in the world and by last year we ranked 25th.
"In the last three decades, not one country has achieved success in reducing obesity rates, and we expect obesity to rise steadily as incomes rise in low and middle income countries in particular, unless urgent steps are taken to address this public health crisis," study director Dr Christopher Murray said.
What is really worrying experts is that the study showed the rate of growth in obesity levels in Australia is the second highest level in the world.
Only in New Zealand, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, where the growth rate in obesity was 14 per cent since 1980, are the number of fat people growing faster.
In Australia the growth in obesity was 13 per cent — the same growth rate as the United States.
Tonga, where 60 per cent of the population is obese, is the world's fattest nation, while some Middle East nations such as Saudi Arabia and Egypt have obesity rates of 36-38 per cent.
The number of people in Australasia who are obese has increased from 16 to 29 per cent since 1980.
This compares to the United States where 33 per cent of the population is obese.
Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute obesity expert Professor John Dixon describes the obesity epidemic as a "health crisis".
"This is the health disaster of the future," he says.
"We can't cure these people … dieting and lifestyle change doesn't work because we defend our body weight," he says.
The blame game that shoots home responsibility for obesity to individuals has to stop and the health system needs to fund new medicines and bariatric surgery that does actually work in reducing weight, he says.
Two new medicines that act to suppress appetite and can produce weight loss of up to 10 per cent are available in the US but not here, he said.
Bariatric surgery can deliver weight loss of up to 30 per cent in obese people and reverse diabetes but in some states fewer than 100 such operations were performed every year in public hospitals, Professor Dixon says.
Professor Dixon questioned some of the data in the US report and says the growth of obesity may have been even faster in Australia over the last 30 years because the obesity rates in 1980 were around 8-10 per cent not the 16 per cent the research shows.

Gala started Tuesday's opening Champions League group stage match strongly and had some of the clearer chances in the first exchanges of play.
However, Isco opened the scoring for Real Madrid midway through the first half, before in the second half Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo helped sway the result for a 6-1 finish.
"Everybody who saw this game will tell you Galatasaray played a very strong opening 30 minutes, proving our team can achieve great things," Eboue argued after the game to UEFA's official website.
"However, the difference between Real Madrid and us is that they score goals more easily than we do. We created sufficient chances but could not capitalise - they did.
"In the second half we started making a lot of mistakes in defence as well. I would rather forget about the second half, but then again we have to learn from what went wrong.
"Learning from this is important for the games to come. I prefer not to jump to conclusions. This was just one game of six to play."

Socceroos to wear Nike strips at next three FIFA World Cups after FFA extends deal with brand
- From: AAP
- October 15, 2012
The Socceroos will be wearing Nike kits throughout the next three World Cup campaigns after Football Federation Australia signed a new deal with the sports manufacturer, claiming it is the most lucrative apparel agreement for any Australian national sporting team.
Neither Nike nor the FFA would detail the dollar amount of the 11-year contract extension but FFA chief executive, Ben Buckley, said it represents an overwhelming vote of confidence in Australian football.
"The agreement goes way beyond the financial investment ... to have a partner like Nike it is not just about the dollars," he said.
"It's obviously a long-term deal but it's multi millions of dollars per annum and all that goes into supporting the growth of the game.
"It locks in substantial income on an annual basis for a long period of time and so then you can plan around that."
The deal includes kits and sponsorship of all national football teams, including the senior men's and women's teams as well as all youth teams.
"We've had a fantastic nine years together so far," Nike Pacific general manager, Paul Faulkner, said.
"We've had a lot of success with two World Cups and it made sense to give continuity to the game in Australia, continuity to our planning, continuity to the FFA's planning to make this the longest deal in Australian sports apparel history."
It is the third successive agreement between FFA and Nike, beginning in 2004 and now running through to 2023.

Fluroide is EXTREMELY toxic
Poster Handle
Anonymous Coward
Post Content
Fluoride Used by Nazis to Sterilize Inmates and Make Them Docile
Fluoride is An extremely neurotoxic chemical added to drinking water that interrupts the basic function of nerve cells in the brain, causing docile submissive behavior and IQ devastation
Did you know that sodium Fluoride is also one of the basic ingredients in both PROZAC (FLUoxetene Hydrochloride) and Sarin Nerve Gas (Isopropyl-Methyl-Phosphoryl FLUORIDE) - The truth the American public needs to understand is the fact that Sodium Fluoride is nothing more (or less) than a hazardous waste by-product of the nuclear and aluminum industries. In addition to being the primary ingredient in rat and cockroach poisons, it is also a main ingredient in anesthetic, hypnotic, and psychiatric drugs as well as military NERVE GAS! Why then is it allowed to be added to the toothpastes and drinking water of the American people?
Fluoride has been historically used as a tool to oppress populations and was highly regulated. But because modern industry wants to make $$$, they have forced the idea that it is "good" for our teeth and it has poisoned a good portion of society.
Selected Timeline of Fluoride
1940 · Soviet concentration camps maintained by fluoride administration to inmates to decrease resistance to authority and induce physical deteriorization.
1942 · Germany becomes worlds largest producer of aluminum (and Sodium Fluoride). Fluoride is used in the concentration camps to render the prisoners docile and inhibit the questioning of authority.
1943 · Researchers from the US Public Health Service examine the health of residents of Bartlett, Texas to see if the 8ppm fluoride in the drinking water was affecting their health. It was checked again in 1953. They find that the death rate in Bartlett was three times higher than a neighboring town which contained 0.4 ppm fluoride.
1944 · "Even at 1ppm, fluoride in drinking water poisons cattle, horses and sheep" (Moules, G.R., Water Pollution Research and Summary of Current Literature, 1944.
1995 · A Chinese study on fluorides finds that the IQ of children is lowered in fluoridated areas. Zhang, I.B., et al, "Effect of a High Fluoride Water Supply on Children's Intelligence" [Pending Publication]
Facts of Fluoride
· Further studies by the New Jersey Department of Health have now confirmed a 6.9 fold increase in bone cancer in young males.
· Fluoride Increases Hip Fractures
· Drinking fluoridated water will double the number of hip fractures for both older men and women.
· Fluoride Increases Infertility
· Infertility in women was found to increase with water fluoridation.
· Food and Drug Administration (FDA) scientists reported a close correlation between decreasing total fertility rates in women between ages of 10 and 49, and increasing fluoride levels.
· Fluoride Is Unapproved By FDA
· The FDA considers fluoride an unapproved new drug for which there is no proof of safety or effectiveness.
· The FDA does not consider fluoride an essential nutrient.
· Fluoride Is Highly Toxic
· The International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology has classified Fluoride as an unapproved dental medicament due to its high toxicity.

You have provided a very large selection of information on a very topical and controversal issue.
And all credit to you for that.
Most of us that have bothered to at least take an interest in this subject will of course be on the same page as your thread attracts attention.
I am with those concerned souls and you, make no mistake about that.
What this thread now needs is some contributors to provide "pier reviewed" research that is indisputable and that will stand up in a court of law.
When our state government forced local councils to floridate water supplies I wrote to my local council and advised them that they had no right or authority to medicate me without my consent.
Of course they just passed the buck.
I believe that in Europe now, this practice has been pretty much eliminated, so one would think that there will exist some serious research to support all our concerns.
I beg for someone to provide reference material that we can all use to attack this abuse of our rights.
This information must exist somewhere.
Agreed. Peer reviewed research is pivotal. I too have written to government about this disgraceful concept - and have yet to receive a reply. Although I no longer drink the stuff, the people need to be warned but to do so will require brave people to step forward.

A NATION CHALLENGED: THE DETAINEES; Deported Immigrants With Nowhere to Go Wait in Jail
By TAMAR LEWIN
Published: December 10, 2001
GREEN COVE SPRINGS, Fla., Dec. 7— For four and a half years, Mohammed Nofal has been shuttled through the jails of Florida, Oklahoma and Texas, waiting to be deported, as ordered by the courts.
But Mr. Nofal is Palestinian, stateless and a criminal, and no nation wants him. So he just waits in the Clay County Jail here, hoping that someday soon the Immigration and Naturalization Service will give up and release him.
In county jails throughout the nation, most in out-of-the-way places like Ullin, Ill., Ferriday, La., or here in the piney woods south of Jacksonville, there are plenty of others who have been waiting for years for the immigration agency to deport or release them.
Some, like Mr. Nofal, are Palestinians who once lived in Jordan but were never citizens. Others are Iraqis, Muslim or Christian, who overstayed their visas, entered the country illegally or committed crimes, and immigration lawyers say it is often only by chance that they find out who and where the detainees are.
Still, the long-term detainees are a haunting specter for the hundreds of Middle Eastern people who have been detained on immigration charges since Sept. 11 -- a glimpse of a future that may await them, too.
Immigration lawyers say that many of those who have been in I.N.S. detention since the terror attacks will most likely face long waits while the agency tries to make arrangements for their deportation. At best, the lawyers say, arranging for the repatriation of Palestinians, Iraqis, Iranians and Afghans is a slow process. At worst, it may be an impossible one.
''The people who will be in trouble are from the countries with which I.N.S. has had great trouble repatriating their citizens,'' said Chris Nugent of the American Bar Association's Immigration Pro Bono Project. ''Iran and Iraq have been very difficult. And now Afghanistan will probably be like Somalia, where there's no functioning government.
''If you don't have a government and you don't have a consulate, how do you even begin to arrange travel documents? Or if the government is hostile to the United States, how does the I.N.S. make arrangements? Some of these new detainees are going to be here a long, long time.''
The indefinite detention of those whose home countries will not take them has been a problem for years. In June, the United States Supreme Court set limits on such confinement, ruling that six months after the courts have issued a final order that an immigrant is to be expelled, the immigration agency must release such a foreigner who cannot be deported in the ''reasonably foreseeable future,'' except in special circumstances.
That decision, in Zadvydas v. Davis, has led to the release of hundreds of detainees from Cuba, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam, countries that have no repatriation agreements with the United States. But it has been less help to stateless Palestinians or people from countries like Iraq, for whom the immigration agency says it will be able to get travel documents -- eventually.
In July, after the Supreme Court ruling, 85 people from Afghanistan, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Pakistan, Syria, Yemen and the United Arab Emirates had been in I.N.S. custody for more than six months since the final order of their deportation. Those who represent long-term detainees say many cases are dragging on despite the ruling.
''We have a client from Afghanistan, from before Sept. 11, whom the I.N.S. claims they can repatriate,'' said Jay Stansell, a federal public defender in Seattle. ''They've had travel documents in hand, but even before Sept. 11 they couldn't fly into Afghanistan. And now the travel documents wouldn't be any good, since there's no government.
''The I.N.S. defense to our new habeas petition has been that they can repatriate him in the reasonably foreseeable future, but they don't have any specifics. They say they'll fly him into Pakistan and move him by land across the border.''
Mr. Stansell said that in his experience the I.N.S. position has been that everyone can be deported except those from Cuba, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam.
Karen Kraushaar, a spokeswoman for the I.N.S., said that contrary to his contention, the agency had recently released people from Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and Jordan after long detentions, even since Sept. 11.
People ''who are able to prove to us that they are not a threat to public safety and will comply with any conditions we place on their release are qualifying for release,'' Ms. Kraushaar said.
But immigration lawyers say that Palestinians have come here from Jordan and other countries without passports and get stuck in limbo.
''Palestinians of the diaspora may have travel documents from Kuwait, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Jordan or Egypt,'' said Karen Pennington, a Dallas immigration lawyer. ''But they're not citizens and they don't have passports. The I.N.S. always alleges that they're nationals of the country where they were born. But those countries don't want them. They're on the voyage of the damned.''
Post-Sept. 11 detainees face new hurdles. While Mr. Nofal and the others who have spent years in detention landed in jail because they committed crimes, the I.N.S. now detains those whose sole wrongdoing was overstaying their visas. And the Patriot Act, approved since the terrorist attacks, allows Attorney General John Ashcroft to detain indefinitely foreigners who are certified as endangering national security. Some detainees may be held even when the Zadvydas ruling would otherwise have limited their confinement.
''It's been less than a year since the Zadvydas case, but it seems like we're moving toward more indefinite detention, not less,'' Mr. Stansell said.

Mentorship projects gear up for matchmaking
Year of the Mentor
In our September issue, I wrote about mentors – specifically, how someone could find one.
Since then, I've learned about some new mentoring opportunities and some programs that are being updated. Instead of the usual "Year of Linux on the Desktop," 2011 is shaping up to be the "Year of the Mentor."
Debian Women
The Debian Women project is breathing new life into their mentorship program. Currently, they are looking for potential mentors and "mentees." Visit their site to see the list of mentors and their areas of interest.

The Loan4Utoday site explains that they are a company that provides a service. They share your information with loan companies to get you a loan. There is a $30 service fee for this. They also state that they get your permission to withdraw this money from your account. I never signed up with this site. I never even visited it.
I'm very concerned about my bank account now. So tomorrow morning I have to go to the bank and close my account.
I can't believe this company gets away with accessing peoples checking account. They are able to withdraw money from your account without your permission. What is that? I have no idea where to go from here. I just want my $30 back. It's also a little scarey that my name and bank info is so available to everyone.

This company got your account information by one of two ways. 1) your husband took out a loan and supplied the information or 2) there has been identity theft and someone has your information to obtain a loan.
If identity theft has occurred you and your husband should file a police report and contact all 3 credit reporting agencies and place a fraud warning on each.
The check you describe is an electronic check and are valid checks used in electronic transfer of funds.
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?
