My eyes! (my eyes!) are filled with curiosity! You think! (You think!) that you have power over me! In this life! (This life!) Theres no room for you and me! So turn around and face the day with me!
Such a sexy song. Urgh.
Just a wierd thought, but what if the Purloin N used was the one that was stolen from Hugh.
He'd probably know if it was taken by TP.
And besides, in the games Spoiler:- text:
The Purrloin is evolved and used by the Shadow Triad to make Hugh unable to fight back.
I just noticed something about the Special Hugh chapter. The announcer at Hugh's sister's birthday is clearly the same guy who hosted the Pokémon Musical. You think they just hired him for the party or he's their dad?
I'm quite sure that Samurott belongs to Hugh and he's going to join the fight any time now. It takes a long time to evolve the starters.

Maybe the Purrloin was given to N to get him started. You know, just in case the wild Pokemon he enlisted gave him a rough time. I'm just saying...
You got that right! The Legend of Korra is returning on October 3rd! Mark your calendars!
XD yeah be it cycling races, swimming contests, pokemon contests or musicals. Well he did said something like that in the RS arc. That makes him more funny XD
Wait a minute...if Hugh is becoming a main character...and be given a Pokedex... and isn't named after a game...is there hope for Wally now in the RSE remakes to become a main character?
Maybe Hugh's last name is Gray related. Greystone?
You got that right! The Legend of Korra is returning on October 3rd! Mark your calendars!
You know what, when I saw Hue's sister, at first I thought she was a young Fuuro (Skyla) because of that "Gym Leader" talk. It took me some seconds to notice my mistake.
About that Daikenki (Samurott), maybe it's actually Bel's? Or Araragi (father)'s? I believe we'll have three sets of starters by the end of BW2 if they don't have Black and White wear Kyouhei and Mei's clothes, and the starters for the BW2 trio will be children of BW's two sets, but I couldn't think of who would have the second Mijumaru (Oshawott) line Pokémon to allow this to happen. Having it be Araragi father works as a solution.
Anime... PAAWAA!!!
Trainer Name: Misha
Friend Safari: Fighting; Pancham, Machoke, Hariyama
I feel like that Samurott is Hugh's and somehow his sister get's Gigi or a tepig and we have 2 sets of dexholders Hugh, Black, White and Cheren, Bianca, Hugh's sister
I think most likely this time around, since B2W2 broke the mold for the games, there will be 1 set of Pokedex holders but 2 sets of starters (one of which will be evolved and one not).
Holders: Black (Buoh), White (Amanda), Hugh (Samurott, somehow)
The second set are the unevolved starters: Snivy (Cheren), Gigi (N), Oshawott (Bianca)
Storyline-wise, I think it would be really unwise to make Kyouhei and Mei into new characters because it will really hinder character development. It would be nice if they could just focus on Hugh and have Black/White dressed in new clothing as major supporting characters (their characters are already developed, and White has an obvious segue into PokeStars Studios). But who knows, anything could happen.
Yeah added 2 more dexowners would be too much. the story would be focus on Hue, who's trying to destroy Team Plasma for what they did to his sister. On his way he'll meet the owner of Pokewood, White and Black who are looking for N, or investigating the latest team Plasma incidents.
Thank you luo! More images of N at the League!
Where'd I put my mallet?
Those images just go to show you don't need fully evolved Pokemon to win a league. Gigi is still a backstabbing porker though. Lol Black pulling White away from N makes him look so jealous. I know it's not the case but still.
RIP anime version of Glovehead. Pokemon Adventures will save you.
N use five Pokemon, Darmanitan, Archeops, Zoroar, Gigi, and Zekrom.
And Alder use only four.
Well, not including Zekrom, this is four Pokémon......
Really interesting to see the preview chapter for the B2W2 arc as the 15th anniversary special chapter. Though this makes me still wonder when that Red special chapter would be out. I would guess that it might even be the final chapter to wrap up the HGSS arc in the final volume of the HGSS arc. Yup, A battle between Gold and Red would be the perfect thing for the special chapter.
Besides, I could actually see that Hugh might be the sole main character for the B2W2 since that it's an odd numbered generation after all. But hey, It's still too early to say that's how it was since that we thought Cheren and Bianca were the main characters of the BW arc when they previewed that arc while the DP arc was still in the midst of being being turned into Volumes.
If and only if after an Awakening
if I were White, I woudn't want Bubu-chan back that treasonous walking food doesn't deserve it!
Does Black know that White is a Pokedex holder now? I don't recall her ever telling or showing him her Pokedex.

Battery Maker A123 Systems Acquired by Chinese Firm for $260M

(Source: bloomberg.com)
Congress isn't too sure about the outcome
A123 Systems
finally has a new owner after its auction this past weekend, but Congress isn't too happy about the outcome.
Chinese firm Wanxiang Group won the auction for A123 Systems on Saturday for about $260 million. This has concerned certain members of Congress, who said that A123's contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense are at stake.
"I am very concerned by Wanxiang's acquisition of A123," said Rep. Bill Huizenga (R-Zeeland). "A123 maintains several contracts with the Department of Defense and given the thin line between Wanxiang and the Chinese Government, I am concerned about the Government of China having access to sensitive technologies being used by our military forces."
However, Wanxiang doesn't have full access to A123's technology. Part of A123 was also sold to Illinois-based Navitas Systems LLC, which will hold the DOD contracts for $2.2 million.
Back in mid-October,
A123 Systems officially filed for bankruptcy
and agreed to sell its automotive business assets to Johnson Controls -- a company that optimizes energy efficiencies in car batteries, buildings and electronics.
Before that, A123 was missing its loan payments. It had received $249.1 million in grants from the U.S. government in 2009 to develop green, electric car batteries. It was discovered that the U.S. government gave A123
a $1 million grant
the day it filed for bankruptcy.
A123 Systems suffered a huge kick earlier this year when it announced a $55 million battery replacement program for Fisker Automotive's Karma. The vehicle had issues with the batteries' hose clamps.
A123 Systems joins a list of other green companies that filed for bankruptcy after receiving government loans and grants. Back in September 2011, solar panel company
Solyndra filed for bankruptcy
after receiving a $535 million loan from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). In November,
Beacon Power
(maker of flywheels for grid efficiency) filed after receiving a $43 million loan guarantee from DOE in 2010.
In January 2012, EV battery maker
Ener1 filed for bankruptcy
after its subsidiary, EnerDel, won a $118.5 million grant from DOE in 2009.
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware will hold a hearing on the result of the A123 Systems auction on Tuesday, December 11.

text: This question may be a little premature for my situation but I have been thinking about it lately. I have 3 girls--DD1 is 7, DD2 is 3 and DD3 is 4 mo. I weaned DD1 at 15 mo and DD2 at 14 mo. I am thinking ahead to when it will be time to wean DD3 and I feel like I should not be weaning as soon as I did my other 2. I remember when I weaned DD1 and she didn't like it too much but I was really ready to be done. DD2 didn't seem to mind too much but our nursing relationship wasn't the best(had alot of problems). I feel now like when I get to around the same age that my other 2 were weaned that it will be too soon for DD3. Almost that I should do child-led weaning and not be selfish just b/c I am ready for some freedom. I guess I just am looking for some insight on this situation(in advance), it has really been in my thoughts lately. Thanks in advance.

An 86-year-old woman has published her first novel, a romance, which she says is steamy.
Georgia Gorringe of Salt Lake City, Utah is a wife, mother, even a great-great grandmother. Now, she's an author, having published her first novel earlier this year.
The book is a romance novel called No Good-Bye. It's written under her pen name, Georgie Marie.
"It took me five years to write it," said Gorringe during an interview with 2News at her home.
"It is quite an accomplishment," added her daughter, Bobbie Posey.
But readers beware—this is not the innocent love story you might expect.
It's full of "steaminess," as Posey describes it.
"It's about a bored housewife, and she listens to talk radio," said Gorringe. "And that voice on the radio, oh, he had a magic voice! And it just turned her on!"
Indeed, the book's subject matter is very mature in parts.
"Sometimes I'm like, mother, how could you do that? How can you write that?" said Posey. "But she did!"
Gorringe's book came out in February, but it not available in bookstores yet. It is currently available on Kindle and Amazon.com.
Her children, though, say they're just thrilled that after years of work, their 86-year-old mother was finally able to publish her book.
"At her age, to really follow through—follow through is really important—and she's done it," said Posey.
But the big question for many who know Gorringe is: How much of this scandalous story is true?
"I keep telling people, it's all fiction," insists Gorringe.
"It is, but a lot of it is actually real life," said Posey. "I mean, we know who she's talking about."
Gorringe hopes others will discover the characters, stories, and the surprising ending that she's spent years creating.
"I think they'd better read it to find out," she said.
Gorringe said people are now asking when she'll write her next book. For now, she said, she'll have to wait and see.

A botched job is bad enough for a burglary suspect. When the burglary ends with the suspect on the phone with 911 dispatchers while being held at gunpoint by the homeowner, that's a really horrible day.
Christopher Lance Moore, 41, is suspected of breaking into a Springtown, Texas, home early Tuesday, according to the Star-Telegram.
According to the Star-Telegram, the homeowners woke up to find him in their bedroom and asked what he was doing, to which he replied, "Just unlucky, I guess."
Moore left the house and got into his pickup truck, but homeowner James Gerow followed him out with a pistol and told him to drop his keys, according to the Dallas Morning News.
Moore called 911 to report he was being held at gunpoint -- and by the time police arrived, Gerow was also on the phone with 911 reporting the burglary.
Moore was arrested on burglary charges. Gerow was not charged.

Personalize Your Raw Denim
Do you remember the days when everybody wore the same type of sweaters, the same pair of sneakers and even had the same haircut? Well, those days are over. Nowadays people want to be unique, to be their own individual, to stand out in a crowd...
The best and easiest way to express yourself is the way you dress. The leather jacket you like to wear on your favorite pair of jeans, topped off with a ruff pair of boots; it's all part of who you are! But how to be unique and find the perfect pieces in times when fashion offers you anything, anywhere, anytime?
Well, you create your own, with a little help of course. G-Star offers us a chance to customize our own jeans in their RAW Tailor Atelier at the G-Star store in Amsterdam. This way you get a chance to personalize a pair of jeans of your favorite denim brand. I was one of the first to try out this service and created my very own unique 3301 Red Listing denim.
At the RAW Tailor Atelier a team of energetic denim tailors are at your service to customize your own five pocket Red Listing denim with the buttons, labels and rivets you prefer! Within 20 minutes you have a unique pair of raw Denim jeans. Over time, raw denim will generally fade and get its own look depending on how you've treated the jeans and how many times you've worn it. Can you imagine how your customized raw denim will look after wearing it a year?
You can visit the RAW Tailor Atelier at the G-Star flagship store in Amsterdam on the PC Hooftstraat this Easter weekend only until the 9th of April. After that, the denim tailors will pop up elsewhere in the world… If you want to know where, keep checking G-Star.com.

Klondike Derby teaches teamwork
By Peter Hagan
REDDING The snow and ice aren't likely to disappear any time soon
if the current cold weather continues. But there were at least 300
boys Saturday at the John Sherman Hoyt Reservation who were glad of
The 9-degree weather Saturday was nearly ideal for those boys
participating in the Scatacook District's annual Klondike Derby. The
snow on the ground was perfect for the sleds the boys had to push
"It would be nice if it were about 10 degrees warmer," said Dave
Perkins, one of three chairmen of the derby. "But if it gets too
warm the snow starts to melt and then you're in trouble. You really
can't complain when you've got smooth snow like this and a nice
Two of the main goals of the derby every year are to teach the
Scouts teamwork and the history of the Alaskan Klondike. The
coordinators of this year's derby tried to combine those two
elements when organizing the challenges the Scouts would have to
face during the derby.
The sites of the challenges were called cities and were named
after actual places on the Alaskan Klondike. The obstacle course the
Scouts had to face was located on top of a hill and was named Dinali,
which is the American Indian name for Alaska's Mount McKinley.
The obstacle course itself was entirely a lesson in teamwork and
communication. All the Scouts in a troop, except one, had to
negotiate the course blindfolded. It was the job of the Scout who
could use his eyes to make sure that no one fell behind.
In addition to being blindfolded, the Scouts had to move as a
pack through the course. The had to form a kind of human train so no
one would get lost.
The course was entirely made of ropes tied to trees. The Scouts
used the rope to help them stay on the path. Occasionally they would
have to duck under a rope to continue on the course. One Danbury
troop found the ducking part especially difficult.
"I had a really tough time getting the guys over and under the
lines that were in the path," said Alex Csengery, 14, of Danbury,
who led his troop through the course. "I tried to communicate to
them verbally but at times I needed to communicate to them
While Csengery might have been frustrated by the course, his
fellow Scouts had a different experience.
"It was weird being blindfolded; I really needed somebody to lead
me," said Michael Ortega, 13, Danbury. "My new New Year's resolution
is to not go blind."
Some of the adult participants dressed up as famous figures from
the Klondike. Wyatt Earp, who made his fortune in the Klondike, was
among those present.
For the Scouts, the derby was more than an exercise.

I have it hanging in our living room. Very pretty - will also be useful during the next power cut ! I have not had to clean it yet so cannot comment on that.It arrived here in Canada , well protected in a very strong box. Very happy with this product.
First thought had problem but worked out
By SEB

As you can tell from my portfolio, my travels have taken me to many parts of this continent as well as other fantastic places around the globe. My photographic work has won awards and has been published in books, calendars and magazines. Originally from Sweden, in beautiful Scandinavia, I moved to the United States in 1993. I have primarily lived in the Seattle and Dallas areas, and currently reside in Frisco, Texas. My portfolio is mostly in color, now using a full-frame digital SLR after shooting film for many years. I touch up my "digital negatives" in Adobe Lightroom & Photoshop to recreate what I felt and saw when the capture was made, and to make the images ready for printing. I do enjoy many types of photographic subjects and styles, but it is my love for the natural world that really gets my heart pumping and creative juices flowing. Some of my influences are Ansel Adams, David Muench and Jack Dykinga. When exploring the natural world around me, I always try to capture the essence of time, place, and of course light!

Nvidia Corp., one of the world's leading designer of high-performance graphics processors, said at a news-conference at Consumer Electronics Show 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada, that it was working with some partners over Nvidia Tegra chip-based netbooks that would cost $99 and above.
"I see Tegra [netbooks] at $99 [to] $199," said Jen-Hsun Huang, chief executive officer of Nvidia Corp., adding that Tegra-based netbooks could be less than a year away from introduction, reports IDG News Service agency.
Currently Nvidia offers its GeForce 9400M-based Ion platform for Intel Atom processors, which power the vast majority of netbooks, to manufacturers, however, none of them seem to be interested since the core-logic consumes too much power and requires expensive DDR3 memory.
Nvidia Tegra 600-series SoCs features ARM11 central processing unit core, GeForce graphics core with programmable pixel shader and programmable vertex shader support, build-in low-power DDR memory controller, NAND flash memory controller, high-definition video processor that supports MPEG 4, H.264, VC-1/WMV9 decoding, H.264 and MPEG4 encoding and features some other capabilities. Besides, Tegra 600 and Tegra 650 support two displays, 12MPixel camera sensor, USB, Parallel ATA a variety of display outputs, including HDMI, as well as other necessary interfaces.
Nvidia has always positioned Tegra as a solution for high-end handsets and mobile Internet devices, however, now that the company needs something to address the growing market of netbooks, it is trying to push the product into that direction. Unfortunately, Tegra 600-based netbooks will be even less attractive than Atom-based solutions: ARM11 processor does not support Windows XP/Vista/7 operating systems, whereas all the advanced features of the DirectX 9-class GeForce core will hardly be needed on a very low-end Linux machine.
A couple of years ago Nvidia said it was not interested in core-logic sets for very entry-level computers because of the low profit margin on that market. However, during the tough times Nvidia has to reconsider its priorities.

January 8, 2003: These are composite images of the galaxy 0313-192, the first spiral galaxy known to be producing a giant radio-emitting jet. The image at left represents two views of the galaxy that astronomers have combined into one photograph. The view of the galaxy and its surrounding environment was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope's Advanced Camera for Surveys. The red material in the image represents the radio-emitting jet, which was taken by the Very Large Array. The galaxy is seen edge-on. At right is a close-up of the Hubble telescope image. Another red overlay from a higher-resolution Very Large Array picture shows the inner portion of the jet.See the rest:
The Advanced Camera for Surveys aboard the Hubble telescope produced a richly detailed image of the galaxy, showing that it is a dust-rich spiral seen almost exactly edge-on. The complex vertical structure of the absorbing dust and the blue star-forming regions confirm the spiral nature of the galaxy.
Until now, astronomers had found giant radio-emitting jets coming from elliptical galaxies or galaxies in the process of merging. Astronomers believe such jets originate at the cores of galaxies, where supermassive black holes provide the tremendous gravitational energy to accelerate particles to nearly the speed of light. Magnetic fields twisted tightly by spinning disks of material being sucked into the black hole are presumed to narrow the speeding particles into thin jets, like a nozzle on a garden hose.

Scientists may resurrect beer from 1840s shipwreck
Researchers: Beer had hints of rose, almond, cloves
If you've ever wondered what beer from the mid-1800s might taste like a group of researchers in Finland may soon be answering your prayers.
Scientists from the VTT Technical Research Centre said they analyzed two bottles of beer discovered in 2010 that came from a ship believed to have sunk in the 1840s off the Aland Islands in the Baltic Sea, Reuters reported.
The researchers said they found living bacteria in the bottles that helped them retain a pale golden color and could originally have had hints of rose, almond and cloves. They said it's possible that a smoky flavor in beer was appreciated at the time.
Scientists said the discovery is the key to recreating the beer.
"Based on the chemical analysis we made of the beer and with the help from a master brewer, it would be possible to try to make beer that would resemble it as much as possible," researcher Annika Wilhelmson told Reuters.
The beer bottles were found in the same wreck that contained the world's oldest champagne -- still considered drinkable -- which has since been auctioned off.
According to VTT, what caused the ship to sink is not known, but based on marine archaeological studies the ship had been renovated shortly before she sunk.
Apart from bottles of beer and champagne, the cargo also consisted of coffee, fruit and spices.

All of the words
Any of the words
The exact words(phrase)
On the occasion of the state visit of South Korea last week, President Lee Myung-bak came to visit the Fram Museum.
After a guided tour in our new exhibitions, Mr Lee Myung-bak was served green tea, Norwegian waffles and Freia chocolate in our Explorer's Club under the jib boom of the Fram.
The President was very pleased with the visit and particularly impressed by the exhibitions being translated into nine languages - one of them being Korean. The korean translation is the result of a cooperation between the Fram Museum and the Embassy of South Korea in Oslo.
During the tea party, the President met several Norwegian experts on issues regarding the High North. These were Camilla Schreiner from the Research Council of Norway, Jan Gunnar Winther of the Norwegian Polar Institute in Tromsø, Leiv Lunde from Fridtjof Nansen Institute and Karsten Klepsvik of the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
South Korea has its own research stations in both Ny-Ålesund at Svalbard and in the Antarctic.
"Victory awaits him, who has everything in order - luck we call it. Defeat is definitely due for him, who has neglected to take the necessary precautions - bad luck we call it"

The strike is notable for a five-day running battle between roughly 6,000 workers and 1,300 members of the Ohio National Guard on May 23-27, 1934. Known as the "Battle of Toledo," the clash left two strikers dead and more than 200 injured. The strike itself would last until June 3.
1934: The strongest surface wind gust in the world at 231 mph, is measured on the summit of Mount Washington in New Hampshire. The record would stand for 62 years until it was surpassed by a 253 mph gust recorded during Tropical Cyclone Olivia at Barrow Island in Western Australia on April 10, 1996.
1932: Entertainer Tiny Tim, most famous for his rendition of "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" sung in a distinctive high falsetto/vibrato voice, is born Herbert Khaury in Manhattan, New York. He was also famous for marrying Victoria Mae Budinger (aka Miss Vicki) Dec. 17, 1969, on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" with 21.4 million viewers watching. He died of a heart attack at age 64 on Nov. 30, 1996.
1916: Author Beverly Cleary, the writer of more than 30 books for young adults and children, is born Beverly Atlee Bunn in McMinnville, Oregon. Some of her best-known characters are Henry Huggins, Ribsy, Beatrice ("Beezus") Quimby, her sister Ramona, and Ralph S. Mouse.
1912: Pioneer American teacher, patent clerk, nurse and humanitarian Clara Barton, the founder of the American Red Cross, dies of tuberculosis at the age of 110 in Glen Echo, Maryland.
1878: William Magear "Boss" Tweed, the politician most notable for being the "boss" of Tammany Hall, the Democratic Party political machine that played a major role in the politics of 19th century New York City and state, dies in New York City's Ludlow Street Jail from severe pneumonia at the age of 55. Tweed, who earlier had spent a year in jail for stealing up to $45 million from New York City taxpayers through political corruption, was waiting for a civil trial in which New York State was seeking to recover $6 million in embezzled funds when he died.
1877: The catcher for Harvard's baseball team, Jim Tyng, wears a modified fencing mask behind the plate. It is believed to be the first time a catcher's mask was used during a game. The team manager, Fred Thayer, designed the mask and received a patent for it the following year.
1864: In what became known as the Fort Pillow Massacre, Confederate forces under the command of Maj. Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest kill most of the black soldiers who had surrendered at Fort Pillow, Tennessee.
1861: The American Civil War begins with Confederate forces firing on Fort Sumter, in the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina. The Confederate siege came after South Carolina demanded that the U.S. Army abandon the fort due to the secession of the state and six other Southern states since December 1860.
1857: Gustave Flaubert's "Madame Bovary" is published. The story focuses on a doctor's wife, Emma Bovary, who has adulterous affairs and lives beyond her means in order to escape the banalities and emptiness of provincial life. Flaubert's first novel became a bestseller quickly due to its notoriety. After the book had been released the previous year in serial form, Flaubert had been put on trial by public prosecutors for the book's alleged obscenity and acquitted.
1606: The Union Flag is adopted as the flag of Great Britain. The new flag was designed to represent the union between England and Scotland, combining the flags of both countries into one to form the first union flag. The current design dates from the Union of Great Britain and Ireland in 1801, adding in the red saltire of the Irish St. Patrick's Flag.
1204: The Crusaders of the Fourth Crusade breach the walls of Constantinople and enter the city, which they completely occupy the following day. The Crusaders looted, terrorized and vandalized Constantinople for three days, during which many ancient and medieval Roman and Greek works were either stolen or destroyed. The decision to attack the Eastern Orthodox Christian city also deepened the rift between the Eastern Orthodox Church and Roman Catholic Church.

Deeplinks Blog posts about DRM
Today, the Digital Freedom campaign was launched by a broad coalition of groups including the Consumer Electronics Association, EFF, Public Knowledge, and the Media Access Project.
"Digital technology enables literally anyone and everyone to be a creator, an innovator or an artist -- to produce music, to create cutting-edge videos and photos, and to share their creative work. Digital technology empowers individuals to enjoy these new works when, where, and how they want, and to participate in the artistic process. These are basic freedoms that must be protected and nurtured.
Engadget (via BoingBoing) reports yet another digital media device "upgrade" that actually downgrades certain features. Creative Labs' latest firmware update to the Zen MicroPhoto and Zen Vision:M portable media players removes the ability to record FM radio.
None of Creative's customers asked for this misfeature, though certain copyright holders might have. Today radio recording restrictions are not mandatory, but if the major record labels get their way, that won't be the case -- take action now to block digital radio restrictions bills currently in Congress.
In a Reuters article published yesterday, Yahoo Music general manager David Goldberg offers this choice quote:
"The notion that a track I buy in DRM is protected and one without DRM isn't is a fallacy.... It's all nonsense. Music is never going to be protected, and anybody who tells you that is not being honest.... [Y]ou're just making it hard for people who want to do the right thing to get the music they legitimately purchased on the devices and services that they want."
Last year, TiVo users experienced glitches that auto-erased recorded content. The culprit was Macrovision DRM, and it's back and as bad as ever in TiVo Series 3 for HD. CNet documents brand new errors that prevented viewing and recording content. (Link via BoingBoing.)
Unfortunately, glitches like this are only part of Series 3 users' worries. Hollywood and cable providers have forced TiVo to remove TiVoToGo and implement a host of DRM restrictions in this device. If a program is marked as "copy never" or "copy once," your TiVo must obey -- it doesn't matter whether the copy limit was put there on purpose by the cable provider or was a technical error, as in CNet's case.
It's the latest digital media murder mystery: TiVo Series2's TiVoToGo enabled limited portability of recorded content to PCs and other devices, but the TiVo Series3 HD did not include this feature when recently released. In other words, if you want to upgrade to HD, you have to downgrade your TiVo's features.
You don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to guess that this story somehow involves Hollywood, the FCC, and "digital rights management" (DRM) restrictions. EFF has opposed these restrictions every step of the way, and, in a white paper released today, we'll explain digital cable DRM's sordid history, how digital cable and satellite DRM may affect you, and what you can do to fight back.

Mark it Down: Teahen Breaks Out of Slump as Sox Hammer D-Backs, 10-3

Medical Clearance System
The Peace Corps' Medical Clearance System (MCS) is responsible for medically screening applicants to ensure that Peace Corps posts are provided with healthy Volunteers who can serve for 27 months without undue disruption. The MCS is one component of the Volunteer Delivery System (VDS), a continuous cycle of Volunteer recruitment, screening, and placement that allows the Peace Corps to deliver healthy, qualified, and suitable Volunteers to host countries.
Once an applicant is nominated for Peace Corps service, the applicant is sent a Medical Kit, which includes medical, dental, and reimbursement forms with instructions for completing the forms. The Office of Medical Services Pre-Service Unit is responsible for the MCS and mails all nominated applicants a Medical Kit of medical and dental forms with guidance for completing the required evaluations, tests, x-rays and documentation requests. Instructions to complete the Medical Kit are found in both the "Comprehensive Medical and Dental Package," a 32-page booklet, and in a customized packet of letters and forms printed from the Expert System.
Once the Medical Kit is completed by the applicant and the applicant's examining physician, dentist, optometrist, and any specialists, as appropriate, a screening nurse reviews the applicant's Medical Kit and reaches a determination of medical clearance (QUA), clearance with restrictions (RST), deferral (DFR), or disqualification (MNQ). If an applicant is cleared with restrictions, the Pre-Service Unit works with Office of Volunteer Recruitment and Selection (VRS) and the Peace Corps post to ensure that the applicant is sent to a post with reasonable accommodations for the applicant's medical condition(s). If an applicant is medically disqualified, he or she can appeal the decision by submitting new information to the Screening Review Board.

Not sure how to even word it. I began working at my current job in April (about 5 mos preggo). I quickly became friends with one of my coworkers who also happened to be about 5 mos preggo. We were both planning to bf. She stopped bf a couple months ago. I didn't. I am very proud of myself, but I don't know how to act around her. I hadn't worried about it until today. I just spoke of it when I wanted, pumped when I needed, acted like it was just another part of parenting, because to me, it is.
Today, another girl who works with us came in and informed us that she is pregnant. Of course, I took this opportunity to ask her if she had considered how she would feed her baby. I made the comment, "breast is best". I honestly never meant it in a negative way toward my friend. I am glad my friend even bf for that long, I also wish she had longer, but I haven't told her that, nor have I tried to imply it. My friend told our boss, who is pretty close with all of us (as far as bosses go). So, the boss had to talk to me about it because he has a certain work atmosphere to maintain. He asked me to not mention anything bf or pumping related to her. I feel that it is all very stupid really. Bf is such a huge and important part of my life, how am I supposed to just leave it out of every single conversation between us and still remain good friends? I guess we weren't that great of friends.
She made her decision. She should be satisfied in it, and if she isn't she should do something about it. I don't feel that it should be my problem. Seriously, if she regrets it, she knows that she can relactate, although it would be a lot of work. She even considered it before.
Why can't people just grow up?

Kitty want a settlement?March 24,2014
Did you see in the news last week where a New Jersey teenager sued her parents? Rachel Canning, 18, alleged in her lawsuit that her parents forced her out of their Lincoln Park, New Jersey home, and that she was unable to support herself financially. Canning, an honor student and cheerleader at Morris Catholic High School in Denville, said in court documents she had to leave her parents home because of emotional and psychological mistreatment.
The lawsuit has since been dismissed, Canning and her parents have reconciled and everyone is happy. Especially the lawyers, who, I am certain, were compensated handsomely for their role in the whole frivolous mess.
Personally, I do not take an incident like this lawsuit lightly. I have long worried that one day one of my own boarders, in the form of a pet, might get ambitious and initiate legal action. Not too long ago, I had an opportunistic cat who I am sure would have pursued this get rich quick angle had she thought of it. I suspect it would have gone something like this:
Case # 556342 Docket 539 LUCY THE CAT VS. ALBURY
Judge: Will the counsel for the plaintiff please read the complaint.
Cats lawyer: My client, Mr. Alburys cat named Lucy, charges that through a pattern of negligence, poor treatment, and condescending actions over a period of time she has suffered severe and irreparable mental anguish and emotional duress.
Judge: How does your client plead?
My lawyer: He usually starts by getting on his knees to grovel and whine for a bit, and then
Judge: I mean how does he plead to the charges?
My lawyer: Not guilty, your honor.
Judge: Mr. Albury, will you please take the stand?
Me: Thats very nice of you, judge, but my house is really rather small and I dont think I have room or a flower pot for the stand. However, I do kind of like that chair the stenographer is sitting in, or maybe
Judge: Sit down.
Me: Yes, sir.
Cats lawyer: Mr. Albury, Lucy alleges that on one particular occasion she began to convulse and wretch and you brutally scooped her up and threw her out a window. Is this true?
Me: She was about to get sick on the carpet...
Cats lawyer: Just answer the question. Did you throw my client, who was merely trying to dislodge a hairball, and who weighs one fortieth of your weight, out a window?
Me: Well, yes, but we live in a ranch, so it was a ground floor window, and you know what they say about cats always landing on their feet
Cats lawyer: And was the window open at the time?
Me: That was sort of a misunderstanding
Cats lawyer: And isnt it true, on another occasion, you neglected to compensate my client for exterminating services rendered?
Me: She dropped a dead mouse on my pillow in the middle of the night
Cats lawyer: Answer the question. Was my client ever, in any manner, paid for this service?
Me: No, she wasnt. Although I did want to give her something, like a swift kick
Cats lawyer: And isnt it true, in a blatant act of mistreatment, you plied my unsuspecting client with a regulated illicit substance concealed in a toy, and then laughed as she staggered around the room and grinned uncontrollably?
Me: I gave her a catnip mouse
Cats lawyer: No further questions, your honor.
Judge: Counsel, call the first witness.
Cats lawyer: Id like to ask that the family dog, Yogi, take the stand.
Me: Oh, no
Cats lawyer: Yogi, may I ask you how you would describe the living conditions at the Albury house?
Yogi: To tell you the truth, its pretty grim. You see, my master is a bit of a slob. He leaves his socks and underwear on the floor, and
My lawyer: I object, your honor. It is obvious that the plaintiffs attorney is merely using the witness testimony as a means to air my clients dirty laundry.
Judge: Overruled.
Me: Give me a break.
Judge: Order in the court! Mr. Albury, one more outburst from you and I will find you in contempt. As it is, I think Ive heard enough. I find for the plaintiff and order the defendant to turn over all of his worldly goods to the feline, including his Allman Brothers CDs, his Sammy Sosa autographed baseball, and any loose change found between the seat cushions of the living room sofa.
Outrageous? Yes. Possible? Who is to say? All I know is that the dog has a very devious look on his face as I am writing this column. I think Ill get him a T-bone steak for supper just to be on the safe side.

It would seem that turning up a good singer would be relatively hard, but I have not found that to be the case. Over the years, I have encountered a number of excellent vocalists through groups that I have worked with. However, I have had far better luck with running an audition call in the local "arts" paper - the alternative weeklies, as they were once known.
I have a standing ad that I can place with a phone call to my "advertising rep", a pleasant young man with a lot of piercings. It reads:
"Wanted:Musicians & Vocalists. Perform with a Vegas style show band that works throughout the Gulf Coast area. (Saxophonists, trombone players, trumpet players, rhythm players, vocalists) needed. All musicians must be able to read music! Call 832 630 8546 for audition information, dates and times."
(The text in the parentheses is altered as needed, depending on what I am looking for at the time.)
If you run the ad in a large city like Houston for a month, you will net in such a crop of vocalists (and musicians) as you have never seen. For, while the ability to sing is widespread, the opportunities to sing are few and far between.
Once you verbally screen out the "Well, I don't really read music, but I pick it up quick..." sidemen from the mix, you invite the remainder (vocalists and musicians) around to a rehearsal and see what they can do. I give them a list of standard tunes and keys, ask them what they have done in the past, and then run the tune with one of our current vocalists to give them the road map.
(We also lay in extra coffee and donuts. The way that some of them eat, you would think that they were there for the food.)
After each takes a pass at about three or four tunes, you can almost always pick out who will work, and who will not. It is a bit tiresome to hear Fever so many times in one day, but the end result is worth the effort.
With the horn players, it's even easier as you can tell who can read well and who can't within the space of a single chart.
At the end of the process, I offer comments concerning the performances. Some take this well, others don't. Usually, the sidemen and vocalists know how they've done before I say a word. I always try to be positive as possible, but honesty here is always the best policy.
(Once, a woman who was just not up to our level was politely told that she wouldn't fit. She sent me an email later maintaining that she was not a lush, and that I shouldn't believe what I had heard. (I had heard nothing - she just couldn't sing a lick.))
At that point, I explain how we operate, how the shares are drawn up, and what's expected of them. The ones who accept are brought in - sometimes to replace someone who's moving on, sometimes to start anew.
And, occasionally you get lucky. I've found a vocalist who is an excellent guitar player in all styles - he's been with us for years. Ditto a trombone player. And, some of my "mainline" vocalists are quick to handle auxiliary percussion as well - my "Sinatra guy" plays Latin percussion as well; timbales and congas.
I'd be interested in hearing how others fill their vocalist slots. No ribald humor, please...
