Some men shape history by accident, and some shape it by design. Some shape history by God's decree, and some shape it by sheer force of personal will. Still others shape history by drunkenly stumbling into it, urinating on it and then dancing around naked while wearing it like a hat. Those men are our heroes, and these are their tales:
5Nikita Khrushchev Prevents War by Getting Plastered
During the Cold War, Yugoslavia became the first and only country to successfully sneak out of the Soviet "Iron Curtain" when Yugoslav leader Josip Broz Tito publicly dumped Joseph Stalin in 1948. This messy breakup nearly led to war between the two countries from 1948 to 1955 in a period known as Informbiro, which is a Slavic word roughly translating to "holy shit that's balls." Not even Stalin's death in 1953 was enough to defuse the crisis. That's right: It was a grudge that transcended the grave. But undead communist grudges were no match for Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev and his epic drinkin', hard partyin', straight chillaxin' attitude.
The kind of world leader you could totally kill a keg with.
Khrushchev was hopeful for a peaceful resolution to the crisis, which is why he led a Soviet delegation to Belgrade in May 1955 to iron things out. But Tito tried to turn this into a PR disaster for the Soviets: His plan was to get them plastered in front of the cameras and embarrass them, because apparently Tito had never met a Russian before. To the surprise of basically nobody, Khrushchev was more than happy to oblige him. But, what started off as a bear trap quickly transformed into one of the most awesome parties in history, leaving Tito with little choice but to join in the vodka-fest himself.
"One! Just do one!"
The visit ended with a lavish party at the Soviet Embassy, where "Khrushchev got stupefyingly drunk... (he) kept trying to kiss everyone, particularly Tito, to whom he kept cooing, 'Josya, quit being so angry! What a thin-skinned one you are! Drunk up and let bygones be bygones.'" On June 2, while Tito and Khrushchev were probably still fighting off one of those epic, multiday hangovers, the USSR and Yugoslavia signed a joint resolution in Belgrade that effectively ended the crisis. It was one of the most unexpected successes in diplomatic history, and it was all made possible thanks to Nikita Khrushchev being a friendly drunk.
You KNOW these guys partied.
4Drunk. In. SPAAACEEE!
While a good drunk can liven up almost any situation, there are certain frontiers of human endeavor where we strongly believe alcohol and alcoholics should not venture. Most of those endeavors involve working a 230-ton, $1.7 billion piece of hardware while going several times the speed of sound.
Somewhere in that shuttle the final frontier is getting plastered.
Yes, astronauts have gone to the stars while under the influence. NASA actually launched an investigation looking for this sort of thing after the infamous incident in 2007 when former astronaut Lisa Nowak tried to kidnap her ex's girlfriend while wearing a diaper. Headed by Col. (Dr.) Richard E. Bachmann Jr. of the US Air Force, the investigators uncovered something that makes Attempted Interstate Infantilist Kidnapping look like charity work: On no fewer than three separate incidents, NASA had cleared astronauts to fly missions -- including two shuttle missions--while completely fucking tanked.
Holy shit, First Contact got something right!
The identities of the astronauts have not been disclosed, but we do have a pretty good idea of what missions they were on. We're talking feats that require some of the most extensive training on the planet, where everything from fine motor skills to physical/psychological conditioning to not barfing in a space helmet is absolutely vital.
One drunken mission actually involved two crafts: a Russian Soyuz spacecraft and a supersonic NASA T-38 training jet capable of traveling nearly twice as fast as your mother's wandering mouth. While the astronaut in the Northrop T-38 Talon had it bad enough, traveling at speeds fast enough to make you deepthroat your own face, the Russian Soyuz spacecraft had it worse: Its mission involved some work on the International Space Station, which meant that the very first step of the astronauts' job that afternoon involved being blasted off of Earth in a gargantuan metal bullet aimed at a moving target traveling at 17,239.2 mph... and they showed up drunk that day.
"One more for the road. Sky. Sky-road."
The NASA panel also reported on a third flight that an astronaut was cleared for, this time on the space shuttle. But the mission was scrubbed just in time, presumably when the crew showed up in full spacesuits, sans pants.

Red Sox first baseman Adrian Gonzalez has had a poor 2012 season.
Even with his current 14-game hitting streak, Boston's $154 million man is on pace for career worsts in batting average, home runs, walks, OBP and slugging percentage.
Now, with half the season played, how concerned should Red Sox Nation be about Adrian's poor performance?

The "˜King of All Internet Radio'
For the past few years, I have not only been a Sirius Satellite Radio subscriber, but also one of its biggest fans. Sirius replaced the unmanageable amount of mix CD's that littered my car and put all the music and entertainment in one small piece of equipment. Sirius has also changed the way I listen to music at work. On in the background all day, Sirius Internet Radio provides me with the soundtrack to my daily life. While some days call for an upbeat tempo with Sirius Hits 1 and some days require a more mellow choice like Cinemagic, my channel of choice is Howard 100. And who can blame me – the home of chaotic entertainment that is amusing day after day, providing everything from the "˜Wack Pack' to Robin's News. I wanted to know if others shared in my loyalty to Howard 100 when listening to Sirius Internet Radio, and if not, what are the subscribers listening to?
To do this, I looked at the population of Sirius Internet Radio listeners and then analyzed what channels they are tuning into during a month. Keep in mind that one listener can fall into multiple buckets throughout the month. Here's what I found:
- Howard is King: 28.4% and 16.1% of Sirius Internet Listeners tune in to Howard 100 and Howard 101, respectively. Just like in his days of old on terrestrial radio, Howard Stern continues to be the most listened to channel.
- Rock and Pop lead in the music categories: Sirius Hits 1 commands the top music channel with 10% of Listeners heading to this channel. However, while people are tuning in to hear the latest pop hits, just as many people are tuning in to listen to the two classic rock channels (Classic Rewind and Classic Vinyl).
- While not on the list here, Sirius NFL Radio does break into the Top 10 listened to channels during the NFL season. 9.3% of Sirius Internet Unique Listeners listened to Sirius NFL Radio in September '08. This was #4 overall!
- Online listeners love their caroling: Sirius XM Pops and Cinemagic, two channel dedicated to Holiday music, were in the Top 10 listened to channels in December '08. Cinemagic was the 2nd most listened to channel in December '08 with 14.2% of Sirius Internet Listeners listening to Holiday music. The top channel was still Howard 100.
With a large percentage of listeners tuning into Howard 100 and Howard 101 on SIRIUS Internet Radio, what will happen to Sirius XM Radio if Stern were to leave at the end of his contract in 2010? Howard Stern commands a large audience, many of which might cancel their service if Stern were to leave at the end of his contract. As Internet Radio continues to grow, Stern's next move could be to bring his own channel to the World Wide Web. I can see it now, the Stern Internet Radio iPhone app being the biggest app of 2011.

"help help, I´m being oppressed"
You make your living by being published in the press, dingleberry.
Presidents have been misusing and getting away with misusing the IRS for generations. Nothing ever comes of it except outrage and indignity. Nobody is ever prosecuted for abuse of their position. It makes headlines for a while and then just fades into the backround noise of more immediate issues becoming a non-concern.
I said almost exactly the same thing, Mike.
Great comment. The IRS and AP stories show big gov't as threat, but both parties have been threatening in the past so it would be wrong to just point at one 'side'. The question is, how will this even be handled, and how will such things be prevented in the future?
Keep up the good writing, M5. You are appreciated.
@TheTrustedMechanic The Boston Marathon bombing WAS done by a Muslim (or did you miss that fact?)
i'm just curious – what was the outcome of this targeting exercise? any increase in revenue?
"are the very same who jumped to the conclusion that the Boston Marathon bombing must have been done by a Muslim, and the very same who think that it is okay to target Muslims for "security" checks."
It's not jumping to a conclusion when they turn out to be muslim terrorists. You must not have gotten the memo, because the news sources you read likely don't want to tell that narrative, since Obama has declared that the War on Terror is won. scoff
Let me give you some statistical facts about terrorism.
- The vast majority of terrorist attacks are carried about by those who adhere to radical Islam (aka Muslims)
- The vast majority of terrorist attacks are committed by young males, ages 17-25 (ish).
When you have those two statistical facts, and we are trying to combat terror, who do you think we should be looking at? 90 year-old black grandmothers? How about 10-year-old hispanic girls? Maybe we should frisk the 35 year old combat vet in a wheel chair.
You know how the British caught the airplane bomber before he got on the plane? By profiling. Funny thing about that "discriminatory" practice: It works. I'm sorry, but when you're looking for a duck, you don't go searching for it in a herd of gazelles.
Even though he's almost always wrong and occasionally offensive, I keep coming back to McCoy for gems like this one.
Well, it seems to me that when a political organisation applies for tax exempt status, it might be suspected that they will be engaging in political activity. Duh!
It always interests me to see that Obama never has anything to do with anything negative, but is always out to take credit for the one thing that went well. (BinLaden). Everything else is still Bush's fault.
It was Muslims.
But don't let the facts get in the way of some Obama bashing. YEEHAWWW!!!
He knows it was Muslims, even though he's not very smart, but liberals like to spin reality.
The IRS is targeting Obama's political enemies, the DOJ is taping phone calls, the DHS is flying drones over private property and the FBI is reading emails. How's that "Hope and Change" working out for you?

She is associated with portraying seductresses, and in particular for playing older women inappropriately seducing younger men. She also appeared in the Taboo series, where she portrayed a mother who engages in an incestuous relationship with her son.
Honey Wilder
appeared in more than 75 hardcore porn movies released during the golden age of porn from 1984 to 1989. A thin, older woman with big tits and a wicked look in her eyes - some credit
Honey Wilder
with being one of the first MILF pornstars and popularizing the entire genre for the many mature honeys who followed in her footsteps.
Throughout the 80s
Honey Wilder
represented the "older woman" segment of the adult film world and was often featured as the teacher, trainer or tutor for other male or female pornstars who needed help developing their sexual sense of style. Usually that meant Honey played supporting actress parts rather than the lead because the slut she was teaching usually graced the cover of the movie and had the most screen time, but her efforts never went unnoticed by directors, producers and other cast members. Proof of that came when she was inducted into the AVN Porn Hall of Fame by industry veterans.
Raised in the Texas Panhandle,
Honey Wilder
got ger start in adult films after watching a few with her boyfriend at the time and thinking 'These sluts have no idea what they are doing, I bet men would love to see some of them taught a few lessons.'
The subtle 'Texas Twang' of her accent helped
Honey Wilder
become an instant success in the adult cinema industry, landing her many roles as a Country Cowgirl or Midwestern Farmgirl. Wild Dallas Honey was her first starring role and proved that Honey had what it takes to make it as a xxx hardcore legend. Some acting skills, sexual intensity and an attitude that allowed her to behave on camera exactly the same way she did in the privacy of her own bedroom. In the film
Honey Wilder
showed off her impressive blowjob skills and was fucked deep by her costar who played the Rodeo Cowboy she always dreamed would ride her one day.
Had it not been for the amazing intensity
Honey Wilder
brought to the screen, legendary films like the entire "Taboo" series (I-V) where she starred opposite Kay Parker, or It's My Body where she costarred with Traci Lords in 1985, would never have become the iconic sex films that are now cherished by avid hardcore collectors.
A little known trivia fact is that
Honey Wilder
is the voice used for the VHS Tape "Surgeon General Disclaimer" that appears on hundreds of videos released during the 1980s by VCA Pictures.
With dozens of acclaimed films, an AVN induction already, and a body of work that screams 'I Am A Sexual Legend!' - most

The nationwide winding back of clocks at the end of October results in 500,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide being created unnecessarily, a Cambridge academic said yesterday.
Elizabeth Garnsey, who specialises in the impact of innovation on the environment, said that reverting to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) in the winter instead of remaining on British Summer Time (BST) caused higher overall energy use and higher demand during peak periods.
"I was astonished that no one had done the sums to find out if we saved or wasted energy by putting the clocks back," Dr Garnsey told the Energy and Climate Change

|So now we finally know something about Mike's return. He isn't at the funeral because he's in the hospital?
|Jun 3 2010, 12:23 PM Post #3
Sami choosing between her men? again? yawn. Dont care. Like we dont know who will win. Some are not fooled.
Chloe and Carly? Eh
Bricole? RIP.
Alice? *sniffs* I didnt think I would react as much as I did watching that promo about her death.

|OMG I cannot wait! What a month it's going to be... From the looks of it Kristian is going to knock her scenes out the part. Bo and Hope = love. EJami kiss = HALLELUJAH!!! Carrie and Lucas siting is great. The funeral has already got me watery already.

|Oh, I wish I could see it. Anyone wanna give a PBP?

Man the Alice snippet bought tears to my eyes and it wasn't even that long. I wonder why Mike ends up not seeing Alice before she passes....
Glad that it looks like Hope is coming around to Bo....finally.
Ej and Sami and Rafe.....please....Sami has officially become a ho.....make up your fucking damn mind already....the character is really being destroyed as a result of this....but whatever...Sami saying, "I can't imagine my life without you" is so fucking stupid...you lived without him for so long, he's not your twin and you've been away from HIM for the longest fucking time. I won't watch after June so who the fuck cares.
Bricole is on the path to destruction, does anyone want to make a bet by the time Brady realizes what Nicole's done Ari has already started falling for EJ.....Brady won't be able to destroy Nicole and we all know that....I wonder if his way of destroying her is that he jumps her bones.
Chloe and Carly...meh
Realistically if they didn't have the Alice stuff June would be an uber failure.
|Jun 3 2010, 12:35 PM Post #8
After all... tomorrow is another day!
OMG my eyes are welling up at the end with Hope talking to Gran's picture! The next few weeks are gonna be rough.
What an amazing promo though.
:wub: Bope! :wub:
The EJami kiss looks hot! Is EJ STILL wearing that same pink shirt and gray suit combo when it happens though? LOL. That's one long ass day.
UGH I want to bitchslap Carly for ruining Chloe's life so much. She's just so SMUG for being a homewrecker murderess bigtime liar and adulterer herself.
So glad to see Carrie, Lucas, Jen and Mike back.
The only thing that could've been better was it hinting at a Kim-Shane reunion.
|Jun 3 2010, 12:40 PM Post #9
Okay, this one brought tears to my eyes. :'(
Bope= :wub:
Ejami= :wub:
Jennifer= :wub:
Oh heck, the whole darn preview= :wub:

|You people are killing me.
|Jun 3 2010, 12:48 PM Post #11
Lysie --
The play by play has Sami choosing between EJ and Rafe. Shows a kiss between EJ and Sami, Rafe telling Shane he loves Sami, Rafe showing up the door of the DiMera mansion, and Carrie telling Sami she has to choose.
Then it switches to Danloe with them having a hospital bedside wedding (Chloe's in the hospital bed) as Carly comes in and interrupts and says she is going to say what she came to say.
Then it's the Arianna/Brady/Nicole triangle as Arianna tells Nicole she knows it was Nicole who set her up and Brady tells Nicole that if he finds out who framed Arianna he'll destroy them.
Then we get the Alice stuff. We see Bo and Hope at the Bope house with Hope talking about how losing someone you love makes you realize how much you love them and how precious life is. Then the narrator talks about old friends returning as we see Kayla coming into the pub and Stephanie hugging her, Lucas in Maggie's kitchen, Mike in the hospital (as a patient) saying he needs to see Gram and Bill and Jen telling him that she's gone; then shots of the group gathered at Alice's gravesite. The final line is Hope saying something like how Alice will be watching over them for "all the days of our lives."
|Jun 3 2010, 12:53 PM Post #12
Everything up until Bope had me thinking, "nope, not watching that shit," but the Alice stuff looks very moving, FakeMike, fake foliage at the cemetery and all.
Kayla! :wub: Surprisingly, I was even happy to see Carrie, who I never liked.
Thanks for posting!
ETA: Is the title actually "Days Brings the Summer Heat?" Kind of an odd title IMO given the focus on the death of the show's matriarch.

|THis promo rocks. I agree that just the short clip of Alice's funeral has me in tears!!! Christie Clark and Melissa Reeves are still hot after all these years. It would be great to have Jenn and Carrie back in Salem. I wonder if they are gonna mention that Carrie is pregant by Austin? Since Christie is pregant in real life!!
|Jun 3 2010, 12:55 PM Post #14
Thanks! I teared up reading it. My gosh.

|Why am I bawling over a preview?!?! Goodness, this is going to be one of those things where I shut the door and cry silently while watching DOOL...for a month.
|Jun 3 2010, 01:05 PM Post #17
I'm actually interested in the EJ/Sami/Rafe triangle, finally. Something is actually happening. It's no longer Sami stuck between two men. It looks like she's choosing EJ because Rafe is nowhere in sight. There's movement. And it couldn't be at a worst time, just as Rafe returns home. Perfect timing!
And I can't wait to see Carrie and Sami's conversation. Carrie's speaking from personal experience.
Not interested in Daniel and Chloe's wedding drama at all. Why is Chloe in the hospital AGAIN?!
The Nicole/Brady/Arianna triangle is somewhat interesting, but only when Nicole is one up on Arianna. When Brady and Arianna are happy, it's a snoozefest. But I am glad it sounds like Ari has the Salem brain and is on to Nicole. That should add some conflict between her and Brady, who will probably not believe that Nicole is responsible.
The tribute to Alice is looking amazing! I love seeing all of the characters interacting with the returning favorites. It's interesting that Mike is in the hospital. I can't wait to find out why he's there. I wonder if we'll have any Carrie and Mike scenes.
|Jun 3 2010, 01:07 PM Post #18
I assume from her fall down the elevator shaft, per last week's promo.
|Jun 3 2010, 01:10 PM Post #19
|Seeing this promo... Kinda of gets you choked up. It feels like I'm preparing to say goodbye to Days as everyone prepares to say goodbye to Grans.
|Jun 3 2010, 01:10 PM Post #20
Eww, I don't like Hope's line at the end. "I know you'll look out for us for all the rest of the days of our lives." It sounds weird. It doesn't flow off her tongue very well, LoL. What an awkward line.
Sami/Rafe/EJ = Zzz. I hope they didn't bring Carrie back just to have her doling out romantic advice to Sami. I truly couldn't care less who Sami chooses or doesn't choose.
I really like the lighting at :13 (the shot of Sami standing in the DiMansion living room telling EJ she can't imagine her life without him in it). Ali Sweeney looks really good there.
I find it odd that Mike is in the hospital. Weird.
It sucks that Chloe and Daniel are getting married in the hospital. Not only are we not getting St. Luke's for Alice's funeral, we aren't getting St. Luke's for Chloe and Daniel's wedding... just like we didn't get St. Luke's for Vivian and Victor's wedding or Phillip and Melanie's wedding. This show is so damn cheap.
Nicole/Brady/Arianna = Zzz. I can't take Brady seriously at all knowing what a goofball Eric Martsolf is in real life. "When I find the person responsible for framing her, I'll destroy them." LoL, please.
I hate the lighting in the cemetery scenes. I hate that they didn't break out the wind machines. It looks so unrealistic for everyone to be standing outside without the sound of birds chirping or a breeze blowing through their hair and through the trees. It's stagnant air. I also hate the brick wall they're standing in front of. That just screams "we're too lazy and cheap to build a pretty backdrop so we're just going to erect this brick wall instead." Would it have killed them to spend an extra dollar or two for Alice's memorial to actually make it look good or to give us a funeral in an actual church?

Let's just go shoot footage of farmers and the milk truck, maybe throw in a crying baby and some weird, monotone music crafted by some composer who likes jazzy stuff played by a chamber ensemble. Sunny day? Nah. Let's not make it cheerful or happy. We should make it gloomy and unsettling. Oh, and Jim? To do it right, we need some crane shots, a huge decal for the truck, and about four and a half minutes running time.Read on, for an interview with Robert Dennis, composer of Milk and other clips (including Cow Feeding and the Mad Painter series of shorts).

I'm not sure if this falls under recycling or re-using (maybe both) but it's a handy, dandy letter/pattern holder made from a wire coat hanger. I used 1" wide strips but they were too wide - I'd try narrower strips next time. Rather than wrap double sided tape around the entire hanger
if I'd done that I'd have been attached to the hanger I used a small piece of tape at the beginning and end of each strip to keep all the loose ends nice and tidy. This would be a great project for 'kids', too. You'll find the instructions here. Have fun!

Neoseeker.com Forum Thread: Ipod Problem - page 1
reprinted from
original thread:
Author: BLinK0
Date: Jan 14, 08 at 3:27am (PST)
Subject: Ipod Problem
Ok, yesterday I got a laptop. So today I d/l iTunes onto it. Then I plug my iPod in. (Note: I've also used my iPod on a few other computers besides the main one I used it on, and each time it was able to bring up all of my songs and I was able to put stuff from their computer on my iPod.) (Note #2, i've also had my 30gb video ipod for almost 3 years, and haven't had any problems before this.)
Anywho, I plug it into my laptop, but when it shows up on iTunes, none of my music is showing up, nothing is. But my iPod file is, and it even shows that I have like a 1/4 of space left, but nothing besides that is showing up. I do this update for my iPod, then still nothing. Then I eject it, to find out that there is absolutley nothing on my ipod (this was about 15 minutes after I plugged it into my computer, at that time I still had everything on my ipod).
Luckily, besides about 200 songs, I had everything else backedup on my parent's computer. So I put all of those songs on itunes, but I cannot drag the songs from the itunes library to my ipod folder.
Edit: i may try putting all that music on a flashdrive, and putting it on the itunes on my new comptuer and see if it works, but not tonight i'll try it tomarrow.

The iTunes software was designed to prevent file-sharing by preventing music from being copied from the iPod into iTunes. When you updated your iPod, it replace the library from your old computer (all your songs on your iPod) with the library on your new computer (empty). I would suggest copying your library file to your new computer, and reloading it into iTunes. Then update your iPod.

Calif. Judge Orders Apple to Share Details of HTC Settlement with Samsung
Jason Mick
November 22, 2012 10:50 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Disclosure could give Samsung leverage when bargaining with Apple, help it stay ahead
When it comes to sales only one Android OEM
has passed Apple
, Inc. (
) in U.S. sales. In fact, Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
) has left Apple far behind in sales; in some quarters its top handset
outsold Apple's
(the iPhone). Meanwhile Samsung is the only Android OEM to
be strongly profitable
, although it still trails the lower volume Apple in profits.
Given that state of affairs, it perhaps makes a bit more sense why Samsung has been Apple's number one target in court. So far Apple and Samsung are one and one. In the UK
Apple lost a major case
to Samsung and was forced to
print an apology ad
; meanwhile in the U.S. a jury went the opposite way finding Samsung
guilty of $1.05B USD in "willful infringement"
(that case is being appealed).
Now even as Apple and Samsung
lock horns for a second trial
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California
's San Jose courtroom
Judge Paul S. Grewal
has made a key ruling which may give Samsung leverage at the bargaining table. In a court order on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, Judge Grewal
[PDF] that Apple had to disclose the terms of its intellectual property cross-licensing agreement with HTC Corp. (
Apple will have to give fiscal details of its licensing agreement with HTC to Samsung.
[Image Source: Gizmodo]
Apple and HTC
settled up
earlier this month, with Apple reportedly getting
less than half what Microsoft
Corp. (
) gets in Android licensing fees. The licensing deal is set to last for 10 years.
The Cupertino company, despite having a stacked, high-power litigation team likely settled with HTC in part because HTC is
struggling in sales
and isn't much of a threat. Now it may regret cutting a relatively reasonable deal with the Asian OEM, as it may look unfair and uncooperative to the judge and jury, should it reject a similar statement by Samsung.
According to reports while Microsoft squeezed
only $10 USD
per handset from HTC, it
gets 50 percent more
-- roughly $15 USD per handset -- from Samsung.
The document in question has been labeled "Attorneys-Eyes-Only", so it is unlikely the media will get their hands on the exact licensing details; particularly after Samsung was already admonished in the last round for allegedly leaking Apple court filings to the press.
An injunction hearing will be held on Dec. 6, at which point a California district judge will decide on whether to temporarily ban U.S. sales of Apple's iPhone 5 and/or Samsung's Galaxy S III, in addition to other Samsung "Jelly Bean" products.

Title: Bunheads
5 Responses to "Review: Bunheads by Sophie Flack"
Interesting. I took ballet for 10+ years, but by no means was I competitive or disciplined with it. I wonder if I'll feel the same way?
Could not agree more — dance people will love, us regular people should stick to dance movies. Speaking of, do you think we should see Footloose? Y/N?
wtf. anyway, you already know my feelings on this book. i share the majority of yours! but YES, hannah was extraordinarily immature for a 19 year old. maybe the fact that she's so sheltered is WHY? who knows. still liked this book
Great review Tara! I loved this book! Nice review!
I'm going to have to check this out of my library at some point, because while I hate any form of dance IRL, I LOVE it in books.
Also, I totally never realized the cover was ballerinas, honestly I thought this book was about synchronized swimmers when I saw it. I know, that's really weird, but I never looked really closely at it, I just saw the arms and the blue and was like, oh yeah those are swimmers not ballerinas.

Earth Processes & Environmental Flows (EPEF)
RP1: Dynamics of meandering and anabranching rivers in lowland Peruvian Amazonian Basin
Cmdte: Hugo Montoro, Directorate of Hydrography and Navigation, Peruvian Navy.
Seed funding: Center for Latin American Studies at University of Pittsburgh.
The Ucayali is one of the largest freely meandering rivers in the world and its planform migration produces complex meander shapes dominated by not only fluvial erosion but mainly geotechnical processes since changes on water stage are appreciable compared to medium- and small-meander rivers. The Amazon is the one of the largest anabranching rivers in the world and it is formed by the confluence of the anabranching Marañon River together with the meandering Ucayali River. The seasonal increase and decrease in water and sediment discharges from the Amazonian lowland rivers produce changes in the river's planform configuration, river flooding, and streambank erosion affecting nearby towns and navigation and shoaling issues. Even though, extensive work has been dedicated to understand both river systems, there is still no absolute understanding of their physically-based formation processes and dynamics, especially at large scales as these lowland Amazonian rivers.
The Ucayali Meandering River migrates at greater rates than the Amazon Anabranching River mainly due to their single channel condition; however localized secondary channels of the latter could behave as meandering channels dominating and modifying the planform dynamics of the entire anabranching system. Insights on how a large meandering river (Ucayali) is similar and at the same time different from an anabranching river (Amazon) will be described herein.
A team composed of the Earth Processes & Environmental Flows Group (EPEF) at the University of Pittsburgh and the Directorate of Hydrology and Navigation (DHN) from the Peruvian Navy is working towards gathering information and field measurements concerning the dynamics of the Amazonian rivers. Therefore, based on three-dimensional velocity and bed morphodynamic measurements (performed in both river systems using acoustic profilers and echo sounders respectively) combined with mathematical hydrodynamic models, some insights on the flow structure, bed morphology and planform dynamics of large meandering and anabranching systems are presented.

Welcome to Egypt
History of Egypt
Pharaonic History
Old Kingdom
The Fourth Dynasty
Keops - Khufu
Khufu was the Ancient Egyptian name for Cheops (Greek form), and it is the abbreviated form of "Hnm-hw.f –wi" that means "Khnum protects me". We are not definitely sure whether Khufu was the eldest son of Sneferu, thus the legitimate heir to the throne, or he was a governor of one of the provinces of Egypt –that might be EI-Menia. This last hypothesis is based on the name of this province Mn't-hw.f-wi ' which means 'the Nurse of Khufu'. However, it has been suggested that this province was only a village which Khufu inherited from his father Sneferu. It was called 'Mn't Sneferu' and then changed into 'Mn't-hw.f-wi', considered as a province of the 16th nome of Upper Egypt.
It seems that since the Second Dynasty, some Egyptians settled in Gubeal onwards the north of Beirut. In Khufu Reign, an Egyptian temple was erected in Gubeal, on which Sneferu's name and his successors' was found inscribed. The Fourth Dynasty necropolis was undoubtedly the Giza Plateau, dominated by the pyramids of Cheops and his successors. The Giza pyramids were surrounded by streets of Mastaba tombs belonging to the officers and dignitaries who continued to attend their master's courts in the hereafter.
Khufu was still attested in the Saite Period (the 26th Dynasty), and was increasingly popular during the Roman Period.
According to Papyrus Westcar, Khufu liked to listen to some stories of his predecessors' reigns. In this text, he is portrayed as the traditional legendary monarch, good-natured and eager to be shown amiable towards his inferiors and interested in the nature of human existence. The fourth tale in Papyrus Westcar describes his request for 'the secret chambers of the sanctuary of Thoth' which he wanted to reproduce in his mortuary temple. Then he became acquainted with a magician from Meidum, called Djedi. Djedi revealed that the secret he desired would be passed to him by the first king of the next dynasty, who is the eldest son of the matrimony of Re and a Heliopolitan priest's wife.
The rest of Papyrus Westcar describes the marvelous birth of the Fifth-Dynasty three first rulers. The text breaks off before the end of the story. Considering that his tomb was the largest monument in Egypt and one of the Seven Wonders of the World, it was surprising that the only surviving sculpture of Cheops is a tiny ivory statuette (9 cm high). The broken fragments of this unique portrait were found at Abydos by Flinders Petrie and the reconstructed statuette is now displayed at the Cairo Museum.
A graffito in Wadi Maghara shows that he continued his father's work in Sinai, and a stela in the diorite quarries of the Nubian shows that he also continued this work till the south of the First Cataract.
According to the Turin Canon, Khufu reigned 23 years, and the length ascribed to him by Manetho is 63 years.
Khufu's two sons, each born from a different mother, succeeded him to the throne. The first son was Djedefre who ascended the throne at the death of his father.

Deductive Sermons That Work
As I mentioned in sermons that work, structure is one attribute that helps you deliver a sermon that has cohesion and sequence.
Let's face it, most people who listen to sermons simply want two things.
First, they want to know what the preacher is talking about.
Second, they want to follow and understand what the preaching is talking about.
That's not too much to ask for, is it?
Structure will enable you to deliver a sermon that works for you and for your listeners.
How to Prepare a Deductive Sermon Outline
There are several ways you can structure your sermon. You can structure the sermon, deductively, inductively or a bit of both.
However, in this article, I am going to show you how to structure your sermon deductively.
To put it in the simplest terms, deductive sermons have a main preaching point followed by sub-points and incidental points.
1. The Main Preaching Point
The main preaching point is the topic of your sermon or the big idea of your sermon. In other words, it is what you are going to preach about.
For example, you are preaching through the gospel of Luke and you come to chapter 4:1-13. After studying the text, you discover that it is talking about temptation. If fact, it is talking about Jesus being tempted by Satan and how Jesus overcame these temptations.
With that in mind, you decide to tell this story by teaching your congregation how to deal with temptation with a winning smile. So your topic or main preaching point would be: Dealing with Temptation With a Winning Smile.
2. The Sub-points
Once you have established your main preaching point, you will need to expand and explain your main preaching point with sub-points by asking why, what, where, when and how of your main preaching point.
Of course, we are asking the how question. How can we deal with temptation with a winning smile?
When I wrote a sermon for this passage of Scripture, I came up with three sub-points.
The deductive sermon outline now looks like this.
There are three ways to deal with temptation with a winning smile. They are:
3. Incidental Points
Incidental points are points that expand and explain your sub-points. Sometimes you only need to explain your sub-points. Other times you will need to expand your sub-points. When you do this, they become incidental points.
Here is the deductive sermon outline with main preaching point, sub-points and incidental points.
There are three ways to deal with temptation with a winning smile. They are:
The deductive sermon outline now has cohesion and sequence. As you preach through this outline, your congregation will be able to follow you and hopefully understand what you are teaching them.
Of course, you will need to write sermon content to your outline, write a sermon introduction to your outline and write a sermon conclusion to your outline.
How do you write your deductive sermon outlines?

Parking Expansion DTF
Parking Expansion DTF
Parking Expansion Disappearing Task Force
- October 4, 2000
- 1:00 - 3:00 p.m.
Meeting Notes
Attending: Wendy Freeman, Steve Huntsberry, Susie Seip, Bill Zaugg, Doug Hitch, Joel Staloch, Tina Kuckkahn
Joel Staloch was introduced as a new standing member. The DTF heard reports from Tina Kuckkahn on issues related to parking and the use of the Longhouse and Susie Seip regarding electronic equipment for parking passes. The group reviewed the Management Report from SCA and briefly looked at the options. The topic of decision making criteria was tabled until next meeting.
Longhouse Issues:
Tina reported that as one of the five public education centers on campus the Longhouse had multiple short term parking and access issues as well as concerns about event parking. Joel mentioned that Conference Services has noticed a real increase in the use of the Longhouse even over the last year. Cultural events at the Longhouse encourage youth and elders to participate and B, C, and F Lots are too far from the Longhouse for easy access. Often people end up parking along the road to the Longhouse and are towed due to the unsafe conditions of the roadside. Visitors might also park and then discover they must drive back around to the parking booth to purchase day or hour long passes. (This gave rise to a short discussion about the possibility of selling 20 passes to the Longhouse that could be dated as they are used. Police Services does not sell parking passes.) Art vendors have no easy access between B Lot and the Longhouse making it difficult to set up displays or handle delicate artwork. A question was raised about the original plans for parking at the Longhouse. (There was a general discussion about the possibility of an access road from B Lot to the Longhouse, having a lot along Dogtooth Lane, cost, budget issues, affordability and strategies for expanding lots.) There is a proposal to expand the Longhouse to include the Northwest Indian Applied Research Institute, which will bring in yet another off campus constituency that will need short term parking. Having meters that people can plug for up to three hours would be a good solution.
Tina would recommend an additional 25 � 50 parking spaces for the Longhouse and suggested widening Dogtooth Lane. Steve suggested several small lots in areas close to the Longhouse where there are few trees. A request was made to increase parking for the elderly and disabled.
Parking Pass Vending Machines:
Susie reported on a number of products she researched including machines from France and Canada, both provided multiple systems sales and required that they manage the parking lots as well as providing the machines. Ven -Tek, an American Company, had two models that looked promising. The company representative Roy Whipple (who reportedly resembles Captain Kirk) is willing to present the models to the DTF at our request. The 400 Model costs approximately $7,500 and provides two types of passes day and hour long and does not make change. The more expensive V model costs approximately $10,000 and makes change. Either model would require a shelter over the machine. If currency is wet the machine tends to jam. Both machines seem to hold up well and have good track records. The Parking Manager at SPSCC highly recommends the 400 model they use. Both machines come with a maintenance contract attached. ( A general discussion began about including parking meters as part of the management plan, metered parking as a customer service for visitors to campus, problems with day passes. Bill mentioned his concerns about having money out in remote areas of the parking lot as a safety issue. Areas on campus impacted by passes being sold only at the Parking Booth included Conference Services, Campus Recreation Center, Longhouse, Admissions, Housing and the Career Development Center.) Susie feels parking in general, while congested, is somewhat better this year. She has not looked into parking meters, but has agreed to do so.
Next meeting:
- The DTF will meet again on Wednesday, October 18, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. in Library 1505.
- Note: Since several of the members are unavailable on the 11th we are pushing the meeting to the 18th. To assure we work effectively please have a list of your input for decision-making criteria ready by the 18th.

Cheats and Walkthroughs(72)
Cheats and Walkthroughs(73)
Cheats and Walkthroughs
Over the weekend, I tried out a racing wheel peripheral we had here at the office, and I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. It was the first one I've ever really tried out outside of an arcade, so I don't really have anything to compare it to, but it did get me thinking about racing games and racing game peripherals. And since Criterion Games' fantastic Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit hits shelves today I figured now would be as good a time as any to find out just how popular wheel controllers are among devoted racing game fans.
How many of you use wheel peripherals on a regular basis to play racing games? Which ones do you prefer? Are you better with the wheel or a standard controller? Are there any particular games that you'd rather play using a wheel?

The Supreme Court has ruled that the Affordable Care Act, including its individual health insurance mandate, is constitutional. The Court did not uphold the individual mandate on the grounds that Congress can use its power to regulate commerce between the states to require everyone to buy health insurance. Rather, the Court agreed that the penalty that someone must pay if he or she refuses to buy insurance is a kind of tax that Congress can impose using its taxing power.
Because the mandate survives, the Court did not need to decide what other parts of the statute were constitutional, except for a provision that requires states to comply with new eligibility requirements for Medicaid or risk losing their funding. On that question, the Court held that the provision is constitutional as long as states would only lose new funds if they didn't comply with the new requirements, rather than all of their funding.
The Court's ruling does not end the debate over health care reform, which will figure dominantly in the November elections.
The Court's landmark decision means that more Americans will continue to have access to colorectal cancer screening, and that cancer patients will not need to fear losing their insurance or being denied coverage.
Fight Colorectal Cancer will continue to work with Congress and the Administration on implementation of the law, including revising a section of the law that currently holds individuals liable for cost sharing when a colorectal cancer screening also involves the removal of polyps.

Vertical distribution
The distribution of Helicocranchia pfefferi from Hawaiian waters is shown on the right. There is a clear pattern of ontogenetic descent with squid occurring in progressively deeper water as they get larger. Diel vertical migration does not seem to occur in this species. The dominance of nighttime captures for young stages is a result of the low sampling effort in shallow depths during the daytime and doesn't indicate the daytime absence of small squid at these depths.
Figure. Vertical distribution chart of H. pfefferi, Hawaiian waters. Captures were made with both open and opening/closing trawls. Bars- fishing depth-range of opening/closing trawl. Circle- Modal fishing depth for either trawl. Blue-filled circles- Night captures. Yellow-filled circles- Day capture. Chart modified from Young (1978).
In the Atlantic Lu and Clarke (1975) show a similar vertical distribution pattern for Helicocranchia pfefferi. Most captures at less than 30 mm ML were made between 100 and 200 m. Around 30 mm ML an ontogenetic descent began although their largest specimen (49 mm ML) was taken between 300 and 400 m. Presumably the size/depth trend would continue for larger individuals.
Geographical distribution
Species occur throughout the world's tropical and subtropical oceans and, in the Atlantic Ocean, in north temperate waters (Voss, 1992).

It will be clear soon whether Republicans who control the Wisconsin state Assembly were able to reach a deal with Democrats to cut down on debating and taking votes in the middle of the night.
Party leaders met for two days to try and reach a deal before the new Assembly rules were to be debated Thursday.
Republican Speaker Robin Vos plans to unveil the proposed changes before the Assembly convenes Thursday morning.
Democratic Minority Leader Peter Barca has said the two sides were worlds apart on agreement, but both he and Vos agree something needs to be done to curtail late-night debate.
Gov. Scott Walker has said he would sign a bill preventing voting on bills after 10 p.m.

OLD CROP RESIDUES HELPS hold
moisture and prevent wind erosion
on Wade Schueler's cropland.
Schueler is turning to no-till or
strip-till to limit erosion and
improve soil.
On the cusp of planting time in Parmer County, Texas, the assumption that conditions are better than they were a year ago may be met with more than a bit of skepticism. This area, on the far side of the Texas Panhandle, jutting up against the New Mexico state line, remains dry.
What little rain that has fallen since the historic drought of 2011 has been rapidly wicked away by high winds. It's dusty except where center pivot irrigation systems are running to pre-water fields in preparation for milo, corn or cotton or to try to push winter wheat far enough to at least make a decent cover crop.
Farmers say the infrequent rains received since last fall came in small doses—measured in tenths of an inch—and did little more than provide momentary hope that the drought was broken. But it hangs on.
And so do farmers.
"We've had very little rain for the past 18 to 20 months," says Wade Schueler, 34. "I'm not sure we're better off than we were this time last year. I don't know how long it would take to get moisture levels back up."
He knows it will take more than sporadic quarter-to-half-inch rains to recharge the soil profile. He also knows that the 30-mile per hour winds that seem to come on the heels of those short showers leave little for the soil. "We just can't seem to get any rain," he says.
Even with irrigation, making a crop under these prolonged drought conditions is an onerous undertaking.
Schueler will go back to planting some corn this spring after planting none last year, a decision that may have raised a few eyebrows early on with corn prices at near historic levels but turned out to be a wise choice. "Last year was the first time I did not plant corn," Schueler says. "That was one of the biggest blessings ever—even with high prices. Conditions got so dry that not planting corn was a good idea. We didn't have enough water to grow corn."
He planted grain sorghum and says that it "suffered some but made a good crop"—good enough to earn top honors in the state grain sorghum yield contest in the no-till, irrigated category.
He believes the combination of grain sorghum and no-till is a good option for this area. "I like to leave as much crop residue as I can," he says. "A lot more farmers are turning to no-till."
He likes to no-till grain sorghum into wheat stubble. "That worked great last year," he says.
Drought conditions limited winter wheat survival this year, so he'll have to change tactics. "I will strip-till into a wheat cover crop," he says. "I'll also break out some CRP land and strip-till into grass."

- I just love color, but my husband and I decided to focus on the elements of the room instead of the walls recently. We painted most of the interior of our house white after having walls in every color for the last 10 years. It's funny how everything pops more now. I used to have a white wall phobia, but I think it's the perfect backdrop in here. The yellow sofa and wall mural were a big jumping off point, as well - everything fell into place after that.

BARRE, Vt. – Nick Sweet may have gone an entire season without a win in weekly competition at Thunder Road International Speedbowl, but the 2010 track champion has been lights-out in ACT Late Model Tour racing at the quarter-mile.
Sweet played the pit strategy game to perfection, taking the lead with 13 laps to go en route to winning the Bond Auto Labor Day Classic 200 on Sunday afternoon. Sweet, who had the freshest tires on the race track over the final quarter of the race, drove around Joey Polewarczyk Jr. shortly after the race's final restart.
"The guys, they called it perfect. They said, 'It's time to come and pit,'" Sweet said. "Man, it was awesome. It was so much fun."
The victory came in just the second start of the season for Sweet with RPM Motorsports. His win in the ACT Merchants Bank 150 back in May came while driving for his own team.
"I thought we'd do it the first time," Sweet joked in Victory Lane, when he was asked about winning so soon in the No. 57 RPM Racing Engines Ford.
Polewarczyk, who had pitted after losing track position to a rough-driving penalty early in the event, had to settle for second. Scott Payea was third.
"Last year, we didn't pit in this race, and we didn't end up very good," Polewarczyk said. "But we had a good points day, and this is a good finish."
John Donahue led the first 168 laps from the pole, but the multi-time winner in Thunder Road's weekly ranks opted not to pit and faded to fourth. Austin Theriault, who posted his fourth-straight Top-5 finish in a Late Model, was fifth after starting back in 25th.
There were 13 cautions which slowed the event.
The worst luck of the day went to seven-time ACT champion Brian Hoar. Hoar started 22nd and had worked into the Top-10 before being caught up in an incident in front of him involving Patrick Laperle and Jamie Fisher on the backstretch.
Another spin later, Hoar was relegated to a 16th. It was his first finish in 10 races of worse than sixth. By starting the final two races of the season, Hoar is virtually assured his record eighth ACT championship.
