Motorola has not released any smartphone after the release of the original Droid of significant impact. The Droid2 launched with 1 ghz, no significant difference from the Original. The Droid3 now has dual core. OK. Got it. The Droid X, OK, bigger Droid--Droid X2 dual core---nothing significant over the DroidX other than two cores. Same phone- Same look--- No LTE. Now we are eagerly awaiting the release of the Droid Bionic dual core, LTE. Should be interesting!! Nice competition for the Samsung Function--Galaxy S II

I kind of feel bad for this phone. This phone will get killed by its overly juiced up big brother the Droid Bionic! I guess its only saving grace is its keyboard. Only if the Droid 3 was LTE enabled, what a difference it would make. I feel like it's a heck of a phone gone to waste because it's already obsolete. I just HATE when I have to use my phone on 3G. I am so spoiled by 4G. 3G to me is like if someone with long finger nails is scratching a black board, or if the dentist is cleaning your teeth! Not pleasant at all! lol

i'm glad it's not LTE. i prefer to have good battery life over faster data since i can get it through Wi-Fi at most places. i'll hope the 4th Generation of Droid is LTE when they get the technology perfected.

Finnaly someone realizes that its a phone not a toy. The droid 3 is a great phone and when lte gets perfected come out with a droid 4 with lte and a great batrery life.

My HTC Evo 3D is 4G & with heavy usage and some good battery management I get 15 hours easy. The batteries are getting better, & now the task managers on these new phones are completely reliable. This phone should have LTE. The Droid Bionic is just too beastly. Again for people who haven't experienced 4G in any form, I can see why you guys say this. To me 4G is a must. I could NEVER go back to 3G. EVER!

Thump3rDX17 I know that you can get Wi-Fi in most places, but I am talking about the places where Wi-Fi is not available. Like a taxi cab, a ferry, the park, a bar, the stadium, at the corner of the street waiting for the light to turn red so you can cross & so on. When I get to a place that has Wi-Fi I too put it on so I can save battery life also. When I don't need the web I simply put it on 3G so I don't kill my battery. There is no way I walk around with 4G, Bluetooth, & Wi-Fi on at all times. Only when I need to go on the web or if I need Bluetooth. Simple battery management goes a long way to get the 15 hours of heavy usage I get on my 4G HTC Evo 3D! Because the HTC Evo 4G had such a crappy battery life I HAD to learn how to manage it. Now that the HTC Evo 3D has a bigger battery & the task manager it helps so much on top of all the battery management skills I had to learn. I bet no new phone gets released without some sort of task manager. That is so key! LTE is possible if you manage your usage accordingly!

first, LTE is famous for being terrible on battery life, much more so than WiMAX unfortunately and second, i don't get on Taxi Cabs or Ferries or go to the Stadium. i'm telling you, most places i go to have Wi-Fi for me to use, i'm not exaggerating and when there's not i don't mind having to use 3G at the time, it's not a big deal, especially when my battery life is at stake. it's still a phone, i need it for phone calls. i'll accept 4G LTE when there isn't such a big trade-off.
19. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3108; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
Exactly. LTE is a HUGE battery sucker. You can be on LTE and just a couple hours later need to charge your phone again. It's very fast but the power comes with a price.
Honestly, until they start making phones with way larger batteries or fix these LTE issues, I won't even bother.
21. jogutier (Posts: 324; Member since: 12 Feb 2010)
WHAT?!?!?!?!?! Battery life over dataspeeds. Are you kidding me?!?!?!? People should stick to a regular phone then. These phones are build with battery last in mind. They are suppose to preform and due stuff that the one months ago didn't do. I'm sorry, but I charge mine twice a day because I love 4G data speeds.
23. Thump3rDX17 (Posts: 2160; Member since: 10 May 2010)
xD you should slow down for a minute, do some research and think about it my friend.
29. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3108; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
Not everyone wants/should have to charge their phone twice a day. Honestly, other than watching youtube videos, 3G works just fine. And it of course depends on your location and what kind of service you get. 3G works fine for me when it comes to browing the web and downloading music, it takes a few seconds for a song to download, big deal.
It also takes just a few seconds to load a website like this up. If you want to charge your phone 3 times a day just so you get a couple seconds faster data speeds, fine by me. More power to ya but I don't like having to have three batteries with me at all times or a charger everywhere I go.
30. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3108; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
I can see what you are saying. However not everyone is in a LTE area and some people want a slide out keyboard(like me). Honestly I got sick of how many typos and errors I have like texting on my Droid X. I can handle .3 inches smaller screen on my Droid 3.

8. snowgator (Posts: 3586; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
Probably at the store, trying to convince them to hurry up on the Bionic.....
26. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
The standoff is in its 3rd hour. I'm negotiating with the CEO of Verizon now. The police presence outside the store is stunning. Probably wasn't my best move to claim I was an Eastern European terrorist looking for the overthrow of the United States and the installation of a Communist Muslim world state; I guess I thought if I started big, it would put launching the Bionic ON TIME in perspective and they would agree easier. But now there's some barefoot guy in the air vents who's really starting to annoy me...
31. Droid3 Metalpoet (unregistered)
Sniggly ur a very funny man!!!!! lol :) i agree! hurry up on the bionic! :) better yet cant they just make the bionic 3d as well?
10. derp (unregistered)
sweet, another abomination to avoid.
13. AJ (unregistered)
Why does everyone forget this phone is GLOBAL!!! Other than 4G the biggest differencce between this and Bionic is the GLOBAL capability. GLOBAL is a huge deal to many of us and is what makes this phone far superior to others including the Bionic.
Did I mention that this is a GLOBAL phone?
14. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3108; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
I really like this phone. The larger 4 inch display is a sweet spot. Doesn't feel cramped like the original droid. And thanks to it's increase in size, so is the keyboard. Not only does it now have a 5 row for numbers, but the keys themselves are actually spaced out. It makes typing way faster and accurate than ever. Plus it has a dual core processor and android 2.3.4. Yes another reason why I am glad this isnt LTE. Not only would it be stuck at a single core processor, but we would have bad battery life and 2.2 only. It also has a front facing camera, a new and improved 8 megapixel camera that can take 1080p videos. The phone looks and feels solid and is pretty thin considering you have a keyboard. Call quality is also really good and signal strength has always been good as well.

we have a lot of the same taste in phones Rory. (:
20. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3108; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
If the Bionic doesnt have a 1900 battery or higher like the Motorola Atrix and have a 1GB of RAM, I think I will have to pass and get the Samsung SGS2.
They had to cancel the originial bionic because battery was only lasting 1-2 hours on a full charge.
22. Thump3rDX17 (Posts: 2160; Member since: 10 May 2010)
yeah, the longer the Bionic takes the longer i have to lose hype and really think about it and it's seeming less and less attractive all the time especially with phones like the Droid 3 and the GSII in our midst.
34. hmmmso (unregistered)
So hmm i just wonder when the Galaxy S2 is coming out i am really thinking about getting Droid 3 or maybe bionic : X ........ but i REally really want the GS2 AHAHAH..............

Who uses a Phone for phone calls anymore? Everybody is always complaining how the data prices are getting higher and higher while everybody continues to use more and more data and use less talking minutes.. Eventually I see data being the dominate thing plans are setup on like minutes are now and the minutes you get will be like that of the number of text messages you get. With Data being so important with today's smartphone use obviously greater speed is going to be needed to keep up with us at the rate that we ourselves operate and interact with one another. That's why 3G is really hurting this phone. Some may say they can find a wifi connection everywhere they go. Well what about the inbetween locations? what if you need to make a call and suddenly need to look something up? If you don't have 4G service you have to end the call and look everything up then call back thus wasting not only the time of the person you were talking to but your time as well.
With life moving faster and faster you need devices that can and will be able to keep up.

Oooo! you're right! what if i have to use *shutters* 3G when i'm not near Wi-Fi? how would i get anything done and stay connected to the world?
oh and as long as i'm asked for my phone number on documents and not my Facebook i'm pretty sure the phone functionality is going to matter...
36. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3108; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
Seriously, the only time I wish I was on wifi or 4g is if im trying to watch a youtube video on HQ. And you know what? Sometimes 3G actually works just fine and doesn't have to stop the video.
40. Thump3rDX17 (Posts: 2160; Member since: 10 May 2010)
yeah, it's not even a big deal, i'm not spoiled by 4G yet. i was actually using Netflix on my Dad's Droid X while we were traveling yesterday and it worked just fine over 3G, quality was acceptable and i buffered like once to twice during a 45 minute show.
27. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
It's nice to see the DROID in its 3rd year and its third incarnation. I'm still holding out for th Bionic though.

No way, it was the scene where Luke is trying to use the force to raise his ship out of the muddy swamp and he couldnt do it. So Yoda being the pimp that he is raises it out of the swamp and Luke is like "I can't believe it!"
And Yoda just SMH and goes LOL THATS WHY U FAILED LOL OMFG PWNED.

s**t, I knew it was going to be something iconic and simple that I missed. Empire never really did it for me though. It was too depressing. Jedi was better, Ewoks notwithstanding. Actually, the Ewoks were a chilling dichotomy; cute and fuzzy, but bloodthirsty murdering savages who wanted to cook Luke and Co alive.

Jogutier you should use your blazing 4g data speeds to look up an english dictionary and study hard to improve your spelling oh wait i forgot your phone battery is dead! Lmao!!!!!
39. CRICKETownz (Posts: 980; Member since: 24 Oct 2009)
Droid3 on the way. Of course I'm curious about real life 4G experience but it's not a deal breaker. Wifi at work & wifi at home, in between well...I'm driving so I don't have the luxury of being on my phone unless it's GPS but 3G handles that like a champ. Everyone I know has no problem with me having to look some thing up and call them back & I'm pretty sure their time doesn't feel wasted because of this. Point is, 4G is still in it's infancy so until it grows up a little bit more I'll pass, which by then I'm sure there will be some gargantuan smartphones available. Guess I'm just one of those ppl who don't demand much. iOS in one hand and Android in the other. Excited to get back on my Android game, been missing the Maps app.

With all companies tiering (verizon) or throttling their data plans, I think anticipation is waining for the new phones
Since the cariers tag you with both up and down data and all the spam ads they put on every internet page, a typical user that listens to a few tunes, watches a u-tube, does a little browsing and emails will hit 200mb a day without breaking a sweat. What erks me about the cell companies is they push "fastest speed, unlimited, rule the airways" and then tier or throttle you to death. Why don't they advertise "we have the tightest throttling in the business" Or we have the highest price per Mb of any of the top carriers" This practice will put an end to the anticipation of customers that want to use their high priced shiny little toys for something other than a paperweight.
42. CRICKETownz (Posts: 980; Member since: 24 Oct 2009)
Or the rep can explain that data plan is tiered and make sure it makes sense to the customer. Dude...are you really going to purchase a product from a company who puts a negative spin on what they are selling? i wouldnt. Honestly, what's the purpose of a wifi radio if the customer is never supposed to use it? Tiered data looks bad on paper but if 95% of smartphone users on a consistent basis use less than 2GB of data why does it matter? Some of us have to monitor our minute packages now so monitoring data is the same difference. I think unlimited text is more of a need than data. Eventually Sprint will have to follow suit just like they did with their mobile broadband plans. New tech comes at a price and it's only going to get more expensive for carriers to maintain.

Reviews for Makeover Nacho Beef Bake
"Kids loved it. We did bake dough first then added meat mixture cooked for 5 min. just to melt cheese."
"Nice change and perfect for a summer meal."
"This has great flavor but the dough didn't cook on the bottom. Next time, I will try and bake the crust first, add the ingredients and bake until cheese melts. Then add the lettuce and tomatoes. I will try this again. We loved the flavor and it was fun---if we didn't have to scrape off the raw dough. ;)"
"Fresh and full of flavor !"
"Kids LOVED this! didn't go low fat - used Mexican Blend Shredded Cheese and drizzled each slice w/mild taco sauce - awesome idea to use for home daycare -"
"Soooo good it's definitely a keeper and we've already made this twice in one month!"
"This was very good. I used 2 Lbs. of ground sirloin, sauteed onions with the beef, and I didn't mash after I added the beans. Makes less than 12 servings. Everyone went back for seconds, so it was more like 6 servings."
"We just finished eating this, and everyone liked it. It is going into my recipe rotation, for sure! I recipe is great as is, but you can also make variations easily with whatever you have in your pantry. I actually added a can of chopped green chilies, and greek yogurt instead of sour cream...I even thought about calling corn (and probably will next time)."
"Super easy to make and delicious. The crescent rolls totally make the dish."

The fact that the mentec-inc website disappeared was something we
discussed a year ago, or so, so that is really not news. :-)
If they were to get it back online, that would be a good thing, since
this latest status have really not helped them making business...
As for P/OS, DEC placed it in the DECUS library long ago, and it is

However, these are teledisk images, which needs to be written back to 5

could be getting a bit problematic for people in general.

WirelessDevNet.com Press Release
Quip, the productivity app created by ex-Facebook CTO Bret Taylor and founder of Google App Engine Kevin Gibbs, today unveils new features as Version 1.7 launches simultaneously on the iPhone, iPad, Android, and desktop.
New features include Themes, introducing greater personality to documents, and new ways for users to better interact and collaborate with each other such as inline Comments and a Facebook-inspired 'Like' button.
The Quip team has a long history with the 'Like' button and a number of the team, led by Quip CEO Bret Taylor, launched it at FriendFeed in 2007 as a lightweight way to acknowledge people's posts. When Facebook rolled out the feature in 2009, it became a cultural phenomenon.
"The power of the 'Like' button is its simplicity: with a single click, you can tell a friend that you appreciate what they've done. It's a small gesture, but it has also become a meaningful way to communicate and bring people closer together," said Taylor.
"Today, we're introducing the 'Like' button on Quip in an effort to bring some of these positive social interactions into the workplace. More than any other feature, the 'Like' button illustrates our deeply-held belief that the software we use to get work done should be as fun to use as the software we use outside of the office."
"Our goal at Quip is to seamlessly integrate messaging and documents, stripping out many of the features you see in legacy word processors. We aim to do for the era of smartphones and tablets what Microsoft Office did for the era of PCs — we want Quip to be the essential productivity suite for the mobile generation, and with these new features we're improving the Quip experience," added Kevin Gibbs, Quip's co-founder and Head of Engineering.
In addition to introducing 'Like' functionality, Quip 1.7 also includes the following new features and improvements:
Comments & Highlighting
Since launch in 2013, the ability to leave inline comments has been the most frequently requested feature from Quip's customers. With Quip 1.7, users can now highlight a specific part of a document and have a conversation about it. When someone leaves a comment in the document, a message bubble in the margin appears, and the comment thread can be read on desktop, tablet, or phone. Once Quip is installed on a phone, notifications appear every time someone leaves a comment, and users can respond without leaving the document.
Quip is on a mission to ensure documents look beautiful on every device and this is why the team put a great deal of thought into the typography of Quip documents when the product was first released. In a bid to bring diversity to Quip documents, Quip 1.7 marks the rollout of four new, professionally designed 'themes' for Quip, including typefaces from Commercial Type with a broad range of personalities.
Document Versioning
With Quip 1.7, users can click on any 'diff' to restore the document to a previous version. It is now possible to revert to any previous version of the document, no matter how long ago the document changed.
Android Widget
In this release, two widgets for Quip on Android have been introduced, which allow users to either view their Inbox or a specific Quip document from a phone's home screen / launcher. With the widget, users can keep a personal to-do list always in view, making it easy to stay on top of tasks and check things off on-the-go.
About Quip
Quip is a modern word processor that re-imagines productivity for the mobile era, enabling you to create beautiful documents, make edits in real-time and message with fellow collaborators on any device — phones, tablets and the desktop. Quip is free for personal use and a subscription-based service for businesses. Visit: http://www.quip.com/

Yearly vaccination of dogs and cats – Why all the Confusion?
It used to be easy – puppy and kitten vaccinations at 8, 12 and possibly 16 weeks and then a booster every year, right?
So what happened? Why all the confusion about vaccination?
What's changed for vaccination of pets in Australia?
Cat vaccination hasn't changed. A yearly booster after the first course of vaccine is recommended
Dog vaccination for Canine Cough hasn't changed. Most veterinarians recommend a yearly booster after the initial course, and in really severe outbreaks even 6 montly boosters might be necessary.
Dog vaccination for "the big three" (distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus) has changed DEPENDING on the brand of vaccine. Some brands can give a booster period of up to three years.
So what do I do now?

Following the Pittsburgh Steelers' 10-0 loss to the Carolina Panthers, the time has finally arrived for Mike Tomlin, Kevin Colbert and the rest of the staff to cut down the roster and form the 53-man group that will take the team into their regular season opener against the Cleveland Browns.
Here's a look at what we learned about the final shaping of that roster against Carolina.
The team lacks a solid, consistent backup QB
The Steelers have a problem behind Ben Roethlisberger. Bruce Gradkowski remains a competent backup, but his size and lack of a big arm make him a poor choice should he be needed in extended action. Landry Jones, drafted in the fourth round two years ago, was hoped to be the answer.
Jones was given a big chance against the Panthers to prove himself. Instead, he proved to be a disaster. Even going 14 of 18 isn't enough when you look beyond the stat. Just like every contest in which he's played more than a few snaps, Jones looked confused, out of sync and out of control. He showed no leadership skills and didn't take command of his offense. When things got bad, he got worse.
Rookie Brendon Kay, in his only action, looked more poised in the pocket and got rid of the ball much quicker. While his work probably was not enough to make the team, he earned a look and could be a good practice squad keeper.
At this point, it would be a shock if he was given the nod for the final quarterback spot. Pittsburgh could elect to keep two passers instead and look for someone as the season progresses. They could also pick up someone else's castoff and try to catch lightning in a bottle.
The stout linebacker corps of old is on its way to being rebuilt
Pittsburgh has been a linebacker factory for years and looks to be churning out another impressive set of them in 2014. Rookie Ryan Shazier has justified his status as the team's first-round pick and looks to be the starter alongside Lawrence Timmons in the interior of the defense.
Behind the starters, the competition has been fierce. Howard Jones excited enough to warrant a long look during the final cuts and should at least end up on the practice squad if he doesn't make the team as a developmental backup. Arthur Moats also looks like a player who could make an impact as a backup.
Time seems to have run out on Chris Carter, who has not played well enough during his tenure to justify continued employment. Like Jones at quarterback, it is better to cut him now than waste time and money on another season of mediocrity.
Wide receiver corps is beginning to fill out and take shape
Behind Antonio Brown, the depth chart was uncertain going into training camp. Markus Wheaton has now solidified himself as the other starter with a preseason filled with great catches and smart plays. Wheaton is a player who can replace the production lost when Emmanuel Sanders skipped town. He could be the latest mid-round gem at the position for a team quickly developing a reputation for creating solid receivers from unknown college players.
The back end of the depth chart was a complete mess after the departure of Jerricho Cotchery. Lance Moore was the only sure thing there. Instead of it being a problem, it has turned into a potential strength. Dri Archer will be lined up all over the field to get favorable matchups and utilize his good hands and breakaway speed. Martavis Bryant has improved each week and has definitely earned a spot. The final spots will come down to a combination of Derek Moye, Justin Brown, and Darrius Heyward-Bey. All three have turned in good efforts but Brown really stands out as having the most potential. It will be hard to let go of Heyward-Bey, who has excellent speed and turned in a solid effort against Carolina. If the team can find a way to keep both, they should do so.
The starting offensive line could be the best unit the Steelers have fielded in a long time, but depth could be an issue
The starting unit of Kelvin Beachum (LT), Ramon Foster (LG), Maurkice Pouncey (C), David DeCastro (RG), and Marcus Gilbert (RT) appears to be set and even solid. They kept Ben Roethlisberger relatively clean in the preseason and look to be meshing nicely.
The backup situation is a mess. Mike Adams might find himself on the street after a poor preseason and a poor start to his career overall. He has not developed into the tackle the Steelers hoped to steal in the second round of the 2012 draft. Cody Wallace has been underwhelming as the backup at center. Guy Whimper probably makes the team by default. Maybe rookie Wesley Johnson also sneaks in. This is an area where Pittsburgh would do well to seek outside help from someone's scrap heap. The current unit cannot survive an injury to one or more starters.
Odds and ends
Jordan Zumwalt, one of the team's draft picks, hasn't justified a spot but should make the practice squad since it has been increased to 10 players. He's a solid developmental guy who will get better with time working under Joey Porter and Keith Butler.
Robert Golden looks to be the best of an unimpressive group of backup defensive backs. He has the ability to play multiple spots as well. That doesn't hurt his candidacy. None of the team's backups at corner have done enough to make the team. Perhaps someone will emerge from the cut lists. Otherwise, the team will likely keep rookie Shaquille Richardson. Isaiah Green and Antwon Blake got significant time in the preseason, but neither player has a wow factor. Blake would have the edge there.
At punter, Brad Wing's excellent game against Carolina has earned him the job. Adam Podlesh, who never reported after his wife's pregnancy, will be officially released barring a big surprise. Wing may finally solidify the team's punting situation, but will have to prove his consistency. That wasn't always on display in the preseason.
Daniel McCullers is deserving of a spot on the defensive line and reminds me of Casey Hampton with his size and ability to take up space. He isn't ready to start just yet, but he is not a player that the team will want to risk losing on waivers. The defensive line looks stacked from top to bottom as DC Dick LeBeau looks to rebuild the Steel Curtain of old.

Sharks! You know, as human beings, we just love them. "Man's best friend," I'm told. Or maybe that's dolphins. Or dogs. Actually, come to think of it, perhaps we don't like sharks at all. Never mind what I just said – we do not like sharks. Probably because they've been known, at times, to feed on us. And not in a symbiotic, intestinal bacteria type way. Regardless, there's a new movie about sharks coming out this weekend called 'Shark Night 3D' that you probably won't see, but you might. Since the studio behind 'Shark Night 3D' won't let us see the movie early, we thought, instead, we'd just make a list of our favorite fictional sharks. Here's is that list.
First, a fun tip about Jabberjaw: His voice is provided by the same man, Frank Welker, who brought you Megatron in the 'Transformers' cartoon and the voice of Shockwave in this summer's 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon.' Part Curley from The Three Stooges, part Rodney Dangerfield, 'Jabberjaw,' which ran from 1976 to 1978, is responsible for the 40 current living Americans – old enough to watch 'Jabberjaw,' but too young to watch 'Jaws' -- who don't think of sharks as dangerous, but more "slightly annoying and obnoxious, especially when they play the drums."
The Shark from 'Jaws: The Revenge'
Ah, see, you thought we would pick the shark from the original 'Jaws,' right? Of course, the first 'Jaws' was far superior to its three sequels, but, as far as personality goes, there's no beating the shark from 'Jaws: The Revenge.' Why? Because it was personal! Yes, while the original Jaws was quite ferocious, he was, really, just in the wrong place at the wrong time. The shark from 'Jaws: The Revenge' actually sought out trouble. Get this: Even after Brody dies from a heart attack, this shark finds the time to chase down Brody's widow -- all the way from New England to the Bahamas -- in an effort to eat her. It's a terrible movie, but you have to respect the shark's gumption. Really.
Land Shark
Chevy Chase played Land Shark on 'SNL' -- during his first and only full season as a cast member – as a parody of the first 'Jaws' movie. The gist was that the Land Shark would pose as some sort of delivery person. When the unsuspecting victim would open his or her door, Land Shark, just like a real shark, would eat him or her.
Misterjaw, to be honest, was a bit of an ass. Not as lovable as Jabberjaw, Misterjaw – which ran during the Pink Panther cartoon series in 1976 – liked to spring out of nowhere and yell "Gotcha,' right before eating you. Which, I suppose, is more of a courtesy than real sharks give. But he spoke with a German accent (voiced by Artie Johnson who made a career off of that fake German accent on 'Laugh-In'), which is always a dead giveaway that your animated creature might be an ass. Though, he does not play the drums -- which can be looked at as a positive or a detriment.
Speaking of Transformers, of course there were Transformers who were also sharks and, of course, Frank Welker was involved. (Also, true story: there is a Sharkticon named Land Shark.) The Sharkticons made their debut in 1986's 'Transformers: The Movie,' which also featured the voice of Orson Welles (25 years later, I'm still not used to reading that). Anyway, the Sharkticons weren't necessarily very interesting characters, used mostly by the Quintessons as a means to execute other Transformers (I promise, you do not want me to take the time to explain any of this).
Fonzie's Shark
No joke, catchphrase or not: Arthur Fonzarelli jumped the hell out of this shark. (Also, you've heard this phrase said hundreds of time, have you actually ever watched The Fonz jump the shark?)
Dr. Evil's Sharks with Frickin' Laser Beams Attached to their Heads
It was a funnier joke in the original Austin Powers film when, due to the endangered species list, Dr. Evil had to settle for ill-tempered mutated sea bass, instead. But, finally, by the third film, Dr. Evil had his very own sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads.

Nothing Beats Immunoassays for Sensitivity, Specificity,...
Process Development Jobs Still the Most...
It's All About Validation
Adapting to Evolving Business Environments Is...
With the standardization of the sample-prep steps and the conventional qPCR reactions using SYBR® Green detection methodology, Dr. Crotty and his team developed a sensitive, robust assay for the detection of viral infection in vivo. The assay is more than 1,000-fold more sensitive than standard plaque assays for tracking LCMV infection in mice, he reports.In the molecular diagnostics reference laboratory at Idexx Reference Laboratories, the requirement that real-time PCR provides analytical and diagnostic specificity and sensitivity is key to molecular diagnostics for infectious agents. On a daily basis, Christian Leutenegger, Ph.D., regional head of molecular diagnostics, and his laboratory are faced with two challenges: to maintain a portfolio of fully validated qPCR assays and to maintain the quality control for each assay.As for the first challenge, PCR primer-sequence design is the solution. The specificity of the reaction is based on the balance between false-positive and false-negative signals. The former comes from cross-reactive signals from related but not etiological agents. False-negative signals come from sequence variation based on selection pressure and normal drift in the genetic isolates. Regardless of the type of nucleic acid in the infectious agent including viral, parasites, fungi, or bacteria, all infectious agents demonstrate sequence variation. For optimal sequence design, it is important to query all the public databases for identification of both highly conserved and highly variable regions within infectious agents. This is a numbers game, so when the number of published sequence variants is high, the investigator can have confidence in the validity of the defined conserved and variable regions of the genomes. Dr. Leutenegger and his colleagues routinely resequence positive samples to look for new sequence variants and then add the new sequence information to their working database. Being vigilant to do the bioinformatics workup for all qPCR assays is fundamental to proper assay design and validation. They apply this process in cycles, initially designing and validating the assay, then resequencing and redesigning, and finally revalidating the diagnostic assay. PCR primers designed to bind within highly conserved regions risk high levels of cross reactivity to related strains that are not the etiological agent. PCR primers designed to bind within highly variable regions yield high specificity but risk high incidence of false-negative results. The answer is to design in a balance between these extremes.Quality control in the laboratory is the other challenge, having the confidence in every negative result and every positive result. To maintain quality control in the laboratory process, controls from sample prep through amplification and finally resequencing are strictly enforced. The direction of the workflow is designed to minimize the chance for contamination."We accept the fact that no PCR laboratory is without contamination," states Dr. Leutenegger, "so we employ a further level of control by incorporating the AmpErase system in all PCR assays." This means that all amplification assays are subject to enzymatic digestion of any contaminating amplicons based on the incorporation of uracils into the product.

Students may enroll at Lincoln College-Normal on either a full-time or a part-time basis. For the purpose of enrollment verifications, the following definitions apply. To achieve full-time status, a student must be enrolled in at least 12 semester hours, with 15 to 16 hours constituting an average load and 18 hours a full load. To enroll in an overload (more than 20 hours in a semester), a student must obtain written permission from the Dean of Academic Affairs.
ABE students are limited to one (1) course per five (5) week session. Students wishing to enroll in more than one accelerated course per sub-term must seek and receive written approval from the Associate Dean of the Center for Adult Learning. Students may be enrolled in one additional traditional academic program class per semester to meet program pre-requisite requirements.
Because Midwest College of Cosmetology Certificates are clock hour programs, Lincoln College-Normal converts clock hours to credit hours in determining a student's academic load. Midwest College of Cosmetology students should be aware that full-time enrollment verifications may not be possible depending on the certificate program for which the student is enrolled unless coursework is supplemented by enrolling in classes in the traditional academic program. Full-time students may enroll in up to 6 credit hours of coursework in the Traditional Academic Program at no additional cost.
The following chart indicates the academic credit hour load of students in each certificate program including the Midwest College of Cosmetology without concurrent enrollment in traditional academic program courses:
|Full-time Cosmetology Certificate (August or January start):
|12 credits/semester for 3 semesters
|Day Esthetics Schedule:
|9 credits/semester
|Evening Esthetics Schedule:
|6 credits/semester
|Massage Therapy:
|10 credits/semester

The Strange Fate of the Giant Lobster NASCAR Trophy
Proud winner Jimmie Johnson in June 2010
Photograph courtesy of NHMS/HHP Images
This coming Sunday, the winning NASCAR team at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, NH will take home a strange prize: The Loudon Lobster.
For the past few years, winners of the elegantly-named Lenox Industrial Tools 301 ("The Extra Mile on the Magic Mile") have been presented with a monster lobster (18-22 pounds!) at the podium. This bizarre tradition began whena Speedway official was inspired by a dinner at Makris Lobster & Steak Houseseven years ago.
But what happens after the photo op on the podium? Jim Makris, the proprietor of the restaurant and supplier of the trophy, gave us the details:
: The living leviathan is presented in the winner's circle and makes good for the cameras.
Phase 2
: Makris' crack team of lobster guys takes the beast, pressure cooks it, and carefully takes out the roughly six pounds of meat. Despite folk wisdom that the bigger the lobster, the gamier the meat, Jim says, "If you don't overcook them, there's no taste difference between the big ones and the small ones." The meat is then flash frozen, packaged, and shipped to wherever the winning pit crew jetted off to after the race (the NASCAR life is not for the road-weary).
: A taxidermist reassembles the shell, repaints it to look like an uncooked lobster, and mounts it as a trophy, which then gets sent to the winning driver.

Can you tell I'm hungry?
The creator of Martha's Vineyard, one of the Grand Rapids' best wine and gourmet food stores, is laying the groundwork for a downtown wine bar and restaurant.
While details are still being worked out, Martha's Vineyard owner Kameel Chamelly confirmed he is planning a new venture on the ground and mezzanine level of what had been known as the River Cities Building, 201 Monroe Ave. NW, which Dick DeVos' Windquest Group is in the process of extensively renovating.
Plans for the building, posted on Urban Planet showed a proposed restaurant occupying the main floor and mezzanine level of the building, though it didn't identify what sort of place it would be.
Chamelly said plans for the new place have yet to be solidified, but the venture is going to happen. He declined to say whether the DeVos family would be investors in the concept.
We'll keep you posted.
This spot seems ideally situated to capture convention traffic as well as people coming and going from DeVos Performance Hall. From the sound of things, it would be a distinctly different option from the offerings inside the Amway Grand Plaza.
While two previous restaurants in the same space failed during the 1990s, the environment downtown is clearly different than it was then. The short-lived Saint-Honore French Bakery and Tea Room and Russian Princess Restaurant occupied the space in 1997 and 1998. The space was built as a bank branch with rather ornate features I hope will be preserved in its next incarnation.
While waiting to see how the new place shapes up, you owe it to yourself to check out Martha's to sample some of Kameel's mom's hummos, the store's "rat cheese" or its impressive collection of wines.
While you're there be sure to stop by the neighboring (and related) Nantucket Baking Co., which offers some excellent breads, cookies and pizzas.

Forget Tina Fey and Amy Poehler – the weekend's big comedy duo was George W. and Laura Bush.
The first lady actually stole the show at Saturday's 91st annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner with a surprise comedy routine that lampooned her husband and brought an audience that included much of official Washington – and such bold-faced names as Jane Fonda, Goldie Hawn, Richard Gere, Mary Tyler Moore and Williams sisters Venus and Serena – to a standing ovation.
It was the president who began the speechifying at the event, only to be interrupted by Laura, who said to him: "Not that old joke, not again." As the crowd guffawed, she added: "I've got a few things I want to say for a change."
As the president resumed his seat and often turned red-faced at his wife's remarks, Mrs. Bush informed the audience that he is "usually in bed by now" and said she recently advised him: "If you really want to end tyranny in the world, you're going to have to stay up later."
A typical Bush evening, according to the first lady: "Nine o'clock, Mr. Excitement here is sound asleep and I'm watching Desperate Housewives. " Pause for the laugh, then: "With Lynne Cheney. Ladies and gentlemen, I am a desperate housewife. I mean, if those women on that show think they're desperate, they ought to be with George."
Housewives hunk James Denton, who was at the event, told PEOPLE he loved that his show was referenced in the speech: "When the first lady is telling Desperate Housewives jokes that's okay. It just reminds you what a phenomenon the show is. It is surreal."
But Laura Bush's mini standup routine didn't end there: "I can pronounce 'nuclear,'" she said. And there was even a mother-in-law joke.
"So many mothers today are just not involved in their children's lives. Not a problem with Barbara Bush ... People think she's a sweet grandmotherly, Aunt Bea-type (like on The Andy Griffith Show)." Instead, said her daughter-in-law, "She's more like Don Corleone" of The Godfather.

"I didn't want to be too involved in their stuff," he said. "I didn't want to be overbearing."
McTigue had fenced in college at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. He first took it as an elective and later was a member of the school's team, becoming a captain his senior season. He continued to fence after college until life become too busy to keep up with the sport.
His offspring got him back into competing. Several years later, when Harriet was a freshman at Montclair High, McTigue began his coaching career.
He decided to help out, maybe spend a "couple of nights a week" at practice working with the fencers as a volunteer.
"Harriet told me they needed help so I went down there on a Monday night," McTigue said. "Then I went back on Tuesday. Then again on Wednesday. Before I knew it I was at all the tournaments and at end of the year banquet. They asked to me an official coach the following season."
In 2007, McTigue became the head coach.
"At the time, the program was still finding its way," McTigue said. "Not just our fencers but the coaches and the school. We did it on our own so we've done some things differently then the other teams. We started to get more and more success and I decided I needed to be better."
McTigue started to train more, not only in fencing, but also in instruction. He spent days at a fencing salle, honing his skills and earning the title of Monitor D'Arms. In addition, McTigue met with the rest of his coaching staff, David Wright and Beth Johansson, to plot the program's approach to success.
One tactic the trio came up with, in order to maximize practice time, was to fence in tri- or quad- meets during the weekend.
"From a school budget standpoint it's an effective way to do things," McTigue said. "And from a coaching standpoint, its actually gets the kids a lot of fencing compressed into a short period time. It gives you more chances to practice while giving you enough competition. It was not so much an innovation as it was just applying what they do in college."
All of the hard work and planning came to its fruition this season. Montclair (13-3) won the first state match in its history and reached its first final.
The run included a 15-12 victory over Livingston, a meet that was clinched at 12, and a 14-13 triumph over Ridge in the semifinals. The latter was clinched when epee fencer Jed Webster won the last bout. Montclair fell to Columbia, 14-13, in the final. It trailed in the match, 8-1, after the first round, before battling back to 13-12.
"After that first round it looked like, why did you even show up," McTigue said. "We pulled them in huddle and said something, and then one of the fencers said something, and somebody said, let's go get them. And they did. Win, lose or draw, that was a winning moment for me. I thought to myself, whether you walk out of here with the trophy or not, you guys had your winning moment. As much as I wanted to get that one extra victory, I don't know if it mattered."
McTigue points to a balanced team as a reason for this year's success. It grabbed a Cetrulo Tournament behind Hugh O'Cinneide (A strip) and Jess Ochs-Willard (B strip). The two were the only fencers from Montclair to qualify for the state individual tournament.
"We had a cohesive team," McTigue said. "You don't need one big star when you have nine guys who are good and there for one another. This allowed them to pull out performances they may not have been able to pull out on their own."

Very strange.I've just installed this on an iPhone 4 running iOS 4.3.5, and the app worked just fine with VoiceOver.There appears to be just a single page. The first 2 items on the page are buttons to either email or SMS the information on your device. Below this are 5 switch buttons to toggle which information is included. Next is a button that refreshes the IP Address information. Finally, there is an iAd.Does this work for anybody else, or is it just me and the OP?I also see that the app is no longer free, which makes the presence of an advert quite annoying.

Picture a high-end rental property that's all set to move into right away.
No need to fill the place with beds, chairs, and tables; reinvigorate the lawn; or find a place to park.
Those perks are taken care of already.
Moreover, the locale is versatile, suitable for a family or an executive. And the site is in one of the more attractive communities in the Charleston region — hardly a slouch in terms of posh enclaves.
The framed townhome property that's seeking a tenant stands in Barfield Park, one of the first neighborhoods laid out in Daniel Island when the neotraditional village within the city of Charleston opened more than 15 years ago in Berkeley County.
Barfield Park is just off a main intersection on the island and sits close to Daniel Island School, Bishop Island High School, the island library and the main retail and restaurant district. Cozy, well-situated Center Park is also in the community.
For lease at $2,400 a month, the two-story residence showcases a number of interesting features. According to the owner Lee Bryan, the three bedroom, three-and-a-half bath townhome is "beautifully furnished and fully equipped."
Providing the townhome with an even-more-spacious aura is it's an end unit. Notable interior features include hardwood floors in the kitchen, dining room and living room to name a few spots on the first floor.
The townhome is 1,842 square feet "under air," which includes all the rooms that are heated and cooled. At the same time, the property has a sizable area that's not included in the official size. Among other things, the Barfield Park residence sports a two-car garage and front and back porches. The rear screened-in porch, meanwhile, leads to a "fenced-in and fully landscaped yard," Bryan says.
The rental house is in one of the original sections of Daniel Island. Heading west, take Interstate 26 and angle right onto I-526 (or take I-526 from Mount Pleasant) and disembark at exit 24. Once on the island, make a right on Seven Farms Drive. At the center of town, turn left on Daniel Island Drive. The first neighborhood ahead left and right is Barfield Park.
For more information, contact Bryan at 772-349-5020.

The boy's name is Pax Thien Jolie, born in November 2003, according to the orphanage where he has lived. His name means Peaceful Sky – Pax is peace in Latin and Thien is sky in Vietnamese.
"Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my son," the Oscar-winning actress wrote in the visitors' book of the Tam Binh orphanage, according to Reuters. "I am sure he will miss your beautiful, caring staff as much as you will miss him."
Jolie's rep says she took custody of the child on Thursday in Vietnam. They will remain in the country for about a week while the child's American passport is processed, the rep says.
The boy had been living at the Tam Binh orphanage outside Ho Chi Minh City ever since he was abandoned at a hospital as a baby, according to adoption officials. Shortly after he arrived at the facility, staff attempted to locate his birth parents, but to no avail.

"Brad very much wanted to be there but is under contract working on a film in Los Angeles and as a result couldn't go," Trevor Neilson, Jolie's adviser on international affairs, tells PEOPLE.
About two dozen children in traditional ao dai formal garb greeted them and offered flowers at the orphanage. Jolie left carrying the boy to a waiting van.
"He is in good health," orphanage director Nguyen Van Trung told the Associated Press, adding that the boy gets along with the other children and likes playing soccer. "He is a little bit shy."
Trung also said Jolie's adoption was swiftly processed because the boy is older and his files were already nearly complete.
Because Vietnamese law makes it difficult for unmarried couples to adopt, Jolie applied solo – but she and Pitt together will welcome their new Vietnamese child to their family, which along with Maddox includes Zahara, 2, and 10-month-old Shiloh. The adoption was a "process that began shortly after Shiloh was born [in May]," a source told PEOPLE in a recent cover story.
After adopting Maddox from Cambodia and Zahara from Ethiopia, she mused to Good Morning America in December that it might be a good idea to "balance the races so there's another African person in the house for Z [and] another Asian person in the house for Mad."

India to Pip Beijing in Oil Demand by 2020: IEA Outlook
By ENS Economic Bureau - NEW DELHI
Published: 05th December 2013 10:51 AM
Last Updated: 05th December 2013 10:51 AM
India will overtake China by 2020 to become the largest source of global oil demand, the Paris-based International Energy Agency (IEA) predicted on Wednesday.
"China dominates the picture within Asia, before India takes over from 2020 as the principal engine of growth... The shifting geography of demand is further underlined by India becoming the largest single source of global oil demand growth after 2020," IEA observed.
IEA in its annual World Energy Outlook said the centre of gravity of energy demand is switching decisively in favour of emerging economies, particularly China, India and the Middle East, which drive global energy use one-third higher.
IEA head Maria van der Hoeven India's energy demand will double by 2035 on back of economic growth and rise in population said talking to reporters on the sidelines of the two-day 8th Asia Gas Partnership Summit, which concluded here on Wednesday.
"When we look at India, we see that in 2035, India will be the largest importer of coal, will be second (largest) importer of oil next China and will be number four in importing gas after European Union, China and Japan," she said.
IEA's World Energy Outlook 2013 predicts the global oil demand to reach 101 million barrels per day (mbpd) by year 2035 from today's around 87 mbpd.
India's oil consumption will exceed 8 mbpd by 2035, which is more than current consumption of Japan, Korea and Australia put together.
While the energy demand will double, per capita consumption in India will still be one-fourth of the OECD average, Hoeven said.
IEA said China is about to become the largest oil-importing country by replacing US and India will become the largest importer of coal by the early 2020s. Coal imports will rise primarily because India uses the fossil fuel for generation of electricity. "Coal is single largest source of power generation in India. 68 per cent of electricity in India comes from coal."
Electricity generation will grow by 5 per cent per year, the IEA predicted.
Set up by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development ( OECD) as a response to the oil shock of 1973-74, IEA advises its 24 member countries on issues related to energy security.
Demand to Grow Leaps and Bounds
The International Energy Agency 's World Energy Outlook 2013 predicts the global oil demand to reach 101 million barrels per day (mbpd) by year 2035 from today's around 87 mbpd. India's oil consumption will exceed 8 mbpd by 2035, which is more than current consumption of Japan, Korea and Australia put together.

The federal judge killed in Saturday's Tucson, Ariz. shooting rampage is being remembered by friends and family as a "fervent Christian" who treated everyone with kindness and respect.
Judge John M. Roll had stopped by to greet Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., at a constituent meeting being held in her district Saturday when he lost his life to suspected gunman Jared Loughner. On Monday, Bishop Gerald Kicanas of the Roman Catholic Church's Tucson Diosese said the 63-year-old "lived his faith as a servant of our nation for the cause of justice."
Alan Sears, president of the Christian legal group the Alliance Defense Fund described Roll as "a great lawyer, sound jurist, and a long-time friend."
"His untimely death is a huge loss for America's judicial system and for all of us, personally," Sears said in a statement Saturday.
"One consolation we have in our grief is that because of John's fervent love for the Lord, he is right now rejoicing in the loving presence of his Creator," he added.
Roll is survived by his wife, Maureen, three sons, and five grandchildren.

MEMPHIS -- Local businesses and churches in Memphis have rolled out the welcome mat to Gulf Coast victims of Hurricane Katrina.
Hotels have cut rates by one third, while local churches have provided dinner and an offer of $100 in free groceries each week for those evacuees who show their driver's licenses or indentification cards from the stricken area.
Local restaurants also have slashed meal tabs 50 percent for people from Louisiana. At one restaurant, a waitress refused a tip. She told evacuees if she could do more, she would.
Many apartments have cut their short-term leases from month to month and are offering rents of $150 monthly as well as providing furniture.

AUSTIN (AP) - A former municipal court judge must serve 120 days in prison after being convicted of assaulting his ex-wife and her boyfriend and trying to murder the man, a state district judge has ordered.
Cleve Edward Moten, convicted of aggravated assault and attempted murder, wasn't given prison time by the jury that found him guilty. Jurors instead sentenced him to 10 years' probation and a $10,000 fine.
But Judge Mike Lynch added the 120 days, the maximum allowed under a rule giving judges such authority in certain cases.
Sentencing came after character witnesses including a county judge, district judge and several criminal defense attorneys said Moten was a hard-working, courteous professional.
All said his conviction - for firing at a van that held his ex-wife, her boyfriend and six children - wouldn't change their minds.
"Today you are eyewitnesses to the courthouse network of good ol' boys closing ranks around one of their own," prosecutor Darla Davis said in asking the jury to send Moten to prison for 15 years.
Moten's lawyers portrayed their client as an intelligent, urbane man. His lawyer Joe James Sawyer said it was only logical that attorneys spoke on Moten's behalf.
"Who else comes to speak for you but the people who know you?" Sawyer said.
Moten was convicted of aggravated assault against his ex-wife, Amanda Moten, and her boyfriend, Edward Banks, and of trying to kill Banks. The jury acquitted him of trying to kill Amanda Moten.
Moten said he fired in self-defense because he feared Banks would try to shoot him. The bullet lodged in the van's door, and no one was hurt.

Shares of Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU ) are hovering just below their 52-week high a day after the company reported some impressive numbers. According to Motley Fool analyst Matthew Argersinger, what was most impressive was the company's dedication to reinvesting in itself. One indicator of this was that while revenue was up 42%, profits were only up 1%; a large part of that was due to Baidu putting its money toward its new mobile applications. But many U.S. investors are still hesitant about investing in Chinese stocks, which may dissuade some from putting their faith in Baidu. But Matt believes that although the risks of investing in China are greater than investing in the U.S., Baidu may be worth it.

My cat Sandy died in December (2011) and by spring I was ready for another furbaby. I went to a Petco Adoption Event and was about to take home a fluffy grey kitty, but they discovered at the last second, that she had bloody diarrhea. The foster lady took her to the vet, and called me that night suggesting I go to a place called Feline Rescue Inc. to get a kitty. I had volunteered there before and I knew their policy, they won't adopt a cat out to anyone that would declaw the cat. Unfortunately the building where I live insists that I declaw. I checked on Petfinder, and they had 8 cats already declawed! I went and checked out Jezzy (I renamed him Mojo) he was cute, but kinda nippy. The shelter needed to check with the apartment manager to make sure I could have a cat, so I had to wait for a few days. The day we picked him up, he bit my Mom. Turns out she got cellulosis. but he climbed right into the carrier! I knew then that he was definitely my cat! Turns out that Mojo's former owners dumped him at a farm and he lived there for awhile (declawed cat on a farm?)

EXTENDED DEADLINE: September 8, 2006
I am searching for Black identified females/females of the African Diaspora who practice Veganism to share their stores in an anthology I would like to put together. Please feel free to submit a piece, regardless of the fact that you may not practice veganism 100% of the time. Those who are making a conscious effort to engage in veganism most of the time are invited to contribute to this project. I understand that each person engaged in practicing veganism is at a different level (from fruitarian to raw to cooked to a vegan who occasionally engages in a vegetarian diet). Please do not feel that you cannot contribute to the project if, for instance, you have a vegan diet but may wear an old pair of leather shoes or have had honey a few times this year. I am looking for poetry, photography, personal narratives, creative stories or critical essays about reflections on veganism. Children are also strongly encouraged to participate. Topics and questions to consider can include but are not limited to:
* Reflections and/or critical analysis on Mrs. Coretta Scott King and her choice to practice veganism.
* The unethical treatment of and lack of compassion towards non-human animals and how this is connected to the same mentality that perpetuates racism, neo-colonialism, environmental racism, nationalism, etc.
* Reproductive health and veganism.
* Are you a child or teenager that is practicing veganism?
* Reflections/analysis on dating as a vegan.
* Choosing Veganism and organic fair trade consumption because of its links to ecological harmony.
* Critical reflection of literature that helped to guide you towards a vegan lifestyle. For example:
o Eternal Treblinka: Our Treatment of Animals and the Holocaust
o The Dreaded Comparison: Human and Animal Slavery by Marjorie Spiegel
o Queen Afua's literature: Sacred Woman and Heal Thyself for Life and Longevity
o Vegan Ethics by Erik Marcus
o Literature by Alice Walker
* Are you raising vegan children? What are the difficulties you have experienced with going to doctors, family gatherings, birthday parties, school meals?
* Realizing that Veganism connected you to other holistic practices that enhanced your health and managed life-long ailments.
* What have your experiences been with finding a doctors/or doctors that respect your vegan lifestyle?
* Connecting a memory of sexual harassment and linking it to the politics of meat and unethical dietary habits.
* Is your dietary practice of veganism part of your religious or spiritual practice?
* How do you feel about the socio-economic implications of the current access people have to vegan products? For instance, it has been argued that it is rare to find "healthy food providers" in low-income areas as well as Black communities. What are the implications of this?
* Veganism in America is often associated with the White Middle Class. Much of this demographic are depicted as expressing their initial reason for converting to veganism is because of their beliefs in the ethical treatment of non-human animals. On the contrary, many Black identified women have stated that their initial reason for converting to veganism is because of "personal health reasons." Please reflect on this.
* How do you practice veganism and other forms of ethical eating, if you are one of many people, who due to the lack of access to these products and/or a salary are unable to maintain this lifestyle, 100% of the time?
* How do you feel about PETA and how they have used images of human suffering (African slavery, Jewish Holocaust, Native American genocide) to advocate for animals rights?
* The pivotal moment you realized that your dietary habits potentially supported the very types of oppression you were struggling against.
* Do you have any funny yet poignant stories about your friends and family's reactions to your conversion to Veganism?
* Working class vegans have argued that warm winter vegan clothing is incredibly expensive. It has also been argued that the production of materials such as Gortex clothing is much more environmentally damaging than the making of down jacket. As a vegan, how do you negotiate this and situations like this?
* Have you experienced being called "White" because of your vegan practices? What are the identity politics occurring within the vegan lifestyle of a Black identified woman?
* What are the personal and community health consequences if a Black identified person actively opposes "veganism" strictly because he or she perceives it as "White" and has experienced "negative" situations with "Whiteness?" (I.E., institutionalized racism, White Privilege, etc)
* Have you "cheated" while on your vegan diet? How did or do you feel about this?
* Did you grow up practicing veganism?
* Did you ever have to defend your veganism at you job and feel constantly offended by people who didn't respect it?

Here we go.
Back to the house of horrors better known as AT&T park. The site of the games 6 and 7 of the NLCS, games I'm not sure the Cardinals are still over.
The MLB schedule maker*, no doubt wanting to pump up the drama, made sure that the Cardinals opening road trip ripped off the band-aid that had been covering the Cardinals psyche and splayed it out for all of America to see.
(* ED NOTE: It's been pointed out that the MLB schedule maker actually made the 2013 slate well before we all knew the outcome of the NLCS and this is more of a horrible coincidence than anything. Thanks to @Kath_Manning for pointing out that facts sometimes get in the way of good points. The above paragraph is still in its original form, but the mistake has been noted.)
It's like seeing the girl that dumped you out with another guy, are you ready to handle it? You said you were before you saw them out… but now she's right there. Can. You. Deal?
The opening set in Arizona indicates no.
No dominant pitching performances. Too many mistakes on the base paths. A general sense that something bad was going to happen instead of something good. It wasn't an encouraging way to start 2013. Certainly not a team that looked like it was treating 2013 as a revenge tour.
And I think that's the big question with this weekend: which Cardinals team is showing up? The one that was down to a final strike against Washington and fought back like crazy? Or the team that rolled over and burped in San Francisco 5 months ago?
Usually the first week in April doesn't provide much insight to the season as a whole.
In the Cardinals case this weekend, it probably will.
