Vegetable Profile – Celery
Vegetable Profile – Celery Breville 800JEXL Juice Fountain Elite 1000-Watt Juice Extractor Celery is considered to be one of the lowest calorie vegetables around. The leaves of a celery stalk carry only 16 calories per 100 g weight and contains large amounts of non-soluble fiber. The leaves are also a great source of flavonoid antioxidants such as zea-xanthin, lutein, and beta-carotene, which also have immune-boosting functions. Celery is good source of vitamin-A and as you know Vitamin A is also required for maintaining healthy mucus membranes and skin. One large stalk of celery can deliver up to 10 percent of your daily need for Vitamin A. Celery reduces "bad" cholesterol using a component called butylphthalide. This component is also what gives the vegetable its flavor and scent. All while reducing your bad cholesterol. A Chicago University study has shown that just two stalks of celery a day can reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) by up to 7 points. An active compound called phthalides in celery has been proven to boost circulatory health. Raw, whole celery reduces high blood pressure. Celery contains special nutrients in its fibers that are released when the vegetable is juiced. These nutrients promote bowel movements by acting as a natural laxative and relaxing the nerves that have been damaged by excess synthetic laxative use. Celery juice can also help flush toxins from the body through the urinary system, which helps to eliminate gall bladder and urinary stones. Those who are prone to stones can add celery juice to their daily menu to prevent future problems. When picking out celery in a grocery store there are a few things you should keep in mind. Be sure to choose celery stalks that are crisp and produce a snap when you separate them. Look for stalks that are in relatively tight bundles, they should not be loose or falling apart. Stalks should have nice green leaves, stay away from anything with yellow and brown patches.

Fruit Profile – Apple
Fruit Profile – Apple Breville JE98XL Juice Fountain Plus 850-Watt Juice Extractor Apples are among the most popular and well known fruits in the world. Apples were originally grown for thousands of years in Asia and Europe, they were then brought over to North America by European colonists. Besides being an ingredient in many dishes and desserts Apples have a particular religious and mythological significance in quite a few cultures, some of which include Greek and European Christian traditions. As I mentioned earlier apples are also an important ingredient in many desserts like apple pie and apple crumble. Apples are also dried and eaten as chips, a very delicious and healthy snack. They are sometimes cooked to make apple sauce and apple butter. Apples can be stored for some months in specially controlled situations which prevent ripening, typically this is done for commercial purposes. For general home storage, apples can be left in the cooler part of your refrigerator for up to two weeks. Some apples have been known to stay for up to a year, these include the Granny Smith and Fuji apples. Nutrition A typical apple serving weighs in at 242 grams and contains 126 calories. According to the United States Department of Agrriculture apples are a source of significant dietary fiber, vitamin C and minimal essential nutrients. Apples have been said to be rich in antioxidant phyto-nutrients flavonoids and polyphenolics. The total measured anti-oxidant strength (ORAC value) of 100 g apple fruit is 5900 TE. Some of the important flavonoids in apples are quercetin, epicatechin, and procyanidin B2. They are also good in tartaric acid which is where the tart flavor comes from. They are also a good source of B-complex vitamins such as riboflavin, thiamin, and pyridoxine (vitamin B-6). They are known to contain small amounts of potassium which helps in controlling heart rate and blood pressure; thus, counters the bad influences of...read more
Juicing for weight loss recipes – Organic
Juicing for weight loss recipes – Organic I get asked quite often what type of produce I like to juice and my answer is always the same, organic produce. So why organic produce? There are a few reasons why I prefer organic vs. the regular stuff and I feel that the benefits out weight the cons. Organic produce is a much healthier alternative to regular produce because of the conditions it is grown in. No pesticides are utilized while organic produce is being grown and the soil is not subjected to any treatments which is sometimes done to regular produce to increase the size and yield of the crop. But why is regular produce bad? Well think about that for a second, pesticides come with all sorts of to keep away from skin and eyes and not to ingest it. So if we're not supposed to ingest it why is it being spray on food that we are supposed to eat? Even if you wash thoroughly these pesticides are ending up in the soil and plants are taking them through their roots. Organic produce is indeed more expensive but why put a price on your health or your family's health? After switching to organic produce I did notice a huge change in my mood and attitude as well as increased energy through the day. While we do realize making the switch to organic and be difficult, we found that slowly switching out each piece of fruit or vegetable will make it easier on your wallet and gives you a chance to really see and taste the difference between organic and regular produce. We have a series of Juicing for weight loss recipes that we will be posting soon that are organic friendly and cheap to make. Also don't feel like just because you cant juice organic produce you shouldn't juice at all, because some juice is better than no juice. If you absolutely must juice regular produce then by all means do so! I did it for years myself. When juicing weight loss I typically opt for a large glass in the morning and one more in the afternoon before having dinner. If you are still looking for a decent juicer that wont break the bank please check out our reviews and see what fits your lifestyle best or CLICK...read more
Juicing Recipes for Health – Beginner Juicing Mistakes
Juicing Recipes for Health – Beginner Juicing Mistakes Drink Your Juice First! – The first time I tried juicing it was a bit uncomfortable, I later found out why. Fresh green juice needs to be consumed on an empty stomach. When juice consumed right after eating you can experience symptoms of heartburn. The good thing is this does not always happen to everyone and differs from person to person. The main reason you want to consume juice on an empty stomach is because your body will quickly utilize all the enzymes, minerals and vitamins. If the juice were to sit in your stomach it will oxidize. Give yourself at least two hours after eating before you drink your juice and give the juice about an hour before you eat anything. Avoid Storage – Once your juice is made you should immediately consume it. Juice that is allowed to sit will rapidly lose all its nutritional value and key enzymes. It will not make a difference if you store it in the fridge or even an air tight container, so drink up! There are juicers out there that claim their juice can be stored anywhere from 24-48 hours. I don't know whether or not this is true but I personally like to consume my juice right away. If you still decide to store you juice, always make sure they stay refrigerated. Juice that is kept warm can grown harmful bacteria. Check out this AWESOME Cuisinart Juice and the Reviews!! Watch Those Apples! – Many new juicers fail to realize that too much natural sugar is not a good thing, its still sugar! You have to be very mindful when adding sweet fruits and vegetables such as apples, pears, watermelon and yes carrots. Juicing too many of these can affect your insulin levels and actually cause you to gain a bit of weight if you're not careful. A good rule is to keep just one serving of sweet fruits and vegetables per drink. I typically don't use apples and oranges anymore, but I will still use a carrot and a beet because of their detox capabilities. If you like a citrus taste, you should try substituting lemons and limes, they have extremely low sugars. All of our Juicing Recipes for Health have little to no fruits in their servings. Juice is not Food – You should not treat juice likes it's a full meal. Your body still needs a wide variety of foods to keep things running smoothly. If you are on a juice fast there are ways around this but it is essential you eat a full and varied diet. Chew Your Juice – Yes I said it. Chew that juice! Saliva is very important when it comes to digesting food properly and the same goes for juice. Saliva helps to quickly break the juice down which in turn gets absorbed by your body very quickly. A good practice is to swish your juice around in your mouth a few times before swallowing. This lets your mix in saliva. If your using Juicing Recipes for Health then this is VERY important. Variety is the Spice of Life – Juicing shouldn't be so routine that everything you put into the juicer is the same over and over again. Try new recipes at least once a week to...read more
Juicing for Health – What is Juicing?
Juicing for Health – What is Juicing? Juicing has grown in popularity over the last few years due to the fact that people are becoming health conscious. The purpose of my blog post today is to talk about some of the benefits of juicing for health as well as a few drawbacks you may encounter. So what exactly is juicing? It basically is what it says it is. It's the process we use to extract beneficial juices from fruits and vegetables. There are several different types of juicers out there that use different methods to extract juice which can play in a role in the quality of the juice you get, but we will discuss those in detail in a later article. So let's talk about the pros of juicing – Juicing for health is a great way of getting multiple fruits and vegetables into your daily routine without having to sit there eating bunches of kale or carrots. Breville BJE200XL Compact Juice Fountain 700-Watt Juice Extractor – Juicing can sometimes be a quicker way to get your veggie fill vs. eating the actual vegetables. – Juicing is a great way to get a wide variety of fruits and veggies into your routine. Variety is extremely important because fruits and veggies contain different vitamins and minerals. – Protein powders can be added to your juice for a boost in protein You're probably saying to yourself "Well hey that sounds great, I'm going out to get a juicer and get started on this" Slow the cattle cowboy or cowgirl! It's very important to understand that juice should be a part of your routine, not the entire routine, unless you are able to fully substitute what your missing, such as protein and essential fats. – Depending on the juicer you have the final juice product will be missing quite a bit of minerals and vitamins due to the processing through your juicer. So if your juicing for health then this is very important. – The rinds and skins left behind contains the other half of those minerals and vitamins – A good juicer can run close to $400 depending on what you look for and where you get it. – Juice needs to consumed right after its made or the enzymes, for lack of a better word, will dissipate. this also holds true for the amino acids and some vitamins. Remember that a blender is a great way to get some fruits and veggies into your diet if you can't afford a juicer or don't have the space for one. There is more prep involved but the quality of juice is actually better than a juicer. I find that when people are juicing for health the prep usually won't bother them. Simple remove the seeds from your fruits and trim your vegetables properly, cut everything up and blend on high. Breville JE98XL Juice Fountain Plus Juice Extractor You can add water as you blend until you reach the consistency you are looking for. Not only does it still taste great but you keep all the skins and rinds while you drink it. For those of you juicing for health I hope this introduction has answered any basic questions or concerns you have about juicing. Please stay tuned as I will be...read more

Being a parent can be exhausting — you're constantly on the run and rarely have time for yourself! Putting yourself — and your health first — can be difficult, but if you follow these tips, fitting in your three or four workouts each week will happen with ease. In addition, you'll be great role models and support for each other.
If you have younger kids, bring them on your workouts. Put them in a jogging stroller and go for a run or strap them into a sidecar and go for a bike ride. I've managed to do this at least once a week with my daughter, Lu, or son, Phoenix, and I get a great workout in — and they love it! You're setting a great example for your kids at a young age by working out regularly.
Get Into Sports
If you have older kids, play their favorite sports with them. Start a pick-up game of basketball on a Saturday, throw around a football — whatever they like! On the other hand, if your kids are not into sports yet, encourage them to join a team (school or club) by becoming a coach. Running down the sidelines during a game counts as exercise too! Supporting them in their efforts and making it fun will help them think of fitness in a positive way.
Trade Off With Your
So what should you do when you want to work out without the kids? If you have a significant other, alternate watching the kids. If you want to go to yoga Saturday morning, ask your spouse to watch the kids, and then offer to watch them in the afternoon so your spouse can go for a run. If you don't have a significant other, try a friend who may be in the same situation and you can trade off a couple of times a week. Another option is to look for a gym that offers babysitting services or enroll your kids in a class they enjoy at the same time within the same facility, such as at your local YMCA.
Bring Your Workout
Now that I have kids, I really, truly understand the value of workout DVDs. I have to confess, I never actually did my DVDs until Phoenix and Lukensia came into my life. Crazy, right? They are a great resource — you can do them in the comfort of your own home and get your kids involved! Sure, they may sit there and laugh at you, but they might be interested to try a few of the moves as well. It's worth a shot.
Practice What You Preach
I want to share this quote from one of my JillianMichaels.com members , Kaje2424, below she shares how she is getting her daughter interested in living a healthy lifestyle:
"I've had really good luck teaching my child to lead an "active life" and what all that entails. Of course, most 5-year-olds have way more energy than they need, but it really seems to help build healthy habits by making sure they get enough exercise every day, don't spend too much time in front of the TV (it's earned, not expected) and join regular after-school clubs, sports, etc. I also get her involved in recycling efforts and charitable programs so she can really learn to appreciate what we have! I figure that the best chance I have is leading by example and making sure she sees her own mom as a strong, fit, well-rounded person!"
I think the main take away here is to lead by example. Make being active and healthy a regular part of your everyday life – even when you're on vacation. Don't let your kids watch hours and hours of television, help them get moving by joining in on the activity — indoors or outdoors, and remember to have fun with it!

Desna is one of the oldest gods. She only relatively recently (AKA when she discovered humanoids) took a humanoid shape as her own. What her form was before that is unknown. How she gained her knowledge of the Dark Tapestry is also unknown, but has something to do with the fact that she prefers outer space as her home (even though she also has a domain on Elysium) and that place is where the Dark Tapestry is located, and so she comes into conflict now and then with Great Old Ones and Outer Gods and the Dominion of the Black and whatever else is in the Dark Tapestry.
Cool, thanks for the info! Heh, somehow I continue to find Desna to be one of the most interesting gods despite her butterfly theme. ;)

At the Edinburgh SEO Class, I was asked "what makes you a successful seo black hat?"
I responded something like:
"There was this passage in the Guns of August about a French General's famous aphorism 'What is the essence of the Problem?' I think that quote applies to winning both on the battlefield and online.
The one thing that you need to be able to do as a black hat is break things down to their simplest forms; to find the essence of the problem. For example, ask questions like 'how exactly did the sites that now rank get to #1?' and 'if links make you rank, what can could I do to automate the process of getting millions of links?' or maybe even 'How can I go from making one site that makes $100 a month to automating the process of making hundreds or thousands of similar sites?'
Exactly what needs to be done to accomplish my goals? What is the essence of the problem?
That's why today black hats are looking at how to abuse things like 'bounce rate' or 'feed subscription data' to beef up factors that may already be used to rank pages and sites. Are the things that are used for quality score being used to rank sites? It looks like it – so what can we do to game those factors in our favor?
It's that problem solving nature that keeps us excited, keeps the game evolving, and keeps the winners at the top."
Going back to the recalled passage, I noticed that 2 other critical elements to battlefield success translate almost 100 years later to online success. Here's Passage from the The Guns of August (emphasis mine):
"General Ferdinand Foch was the molder of French military theory of his time. Foch's mind, like a heart, contained two valves: one pumped spirit into strategy; the other circulated common sense. On the one hand Foch preached a mystique of will expressed in his famous aphorisms, "The will to conquer is the first condition of victory," or more succinctly, "Victoire c'est la volonte," and, "A battle won is a battle in which one will not confess oneself beaten."
In practice this was to become the famous order at the Marne to attack when the situation called for retreat. His officers of those days remember him bellowing, "Attack! Attack!" with furious, sweeping gestures while he dashed about in short rushes as if charged by an electric battery. Why, he was later asked, did he advance at the Marne when he was technically beaten? "Why? I don't know. Because of my men, because I had a will. And then—God was there."
Though a profound student of Clausewitz, Foch did not, like Clause-witz's German successors, believe in a foolproof schedule of battle worked out in advance. Rather he taught the necessity of perpetual adaptability and improvisation to fit circumstances. "Regulations," he would say, "are all very well for drill but in the hour of danger they are no more use…. You have to learn to think." To think meant to give room for freedom of initiative, for the imponderable to win over the material, for will to demonstrate its power over circumstance.
But the idea that morale alone could conquer, Foch warned, was an "infantile notion." From his flights of metaphysics he would descend at once, in his lectures and his prewar books Les Principes de la Guerre and La Conduite de la Guerre, to the earth of tactics, the placing of advance guards, the necessity of surete, or protection, the elements of firepower, the need for obedience and discipline. The realistic half of his teaching was summed up in another aphorism he made familiar during the war, "De quoi s'agit-il?" (What is the essence of the problem?)
The main takeaway are – to win in battle and online:
1. You need the will to conquer. Without that underlying will to succeed, you're going to lose to those of greater will.
2. You have to learn to think.
3. You need to define "What is the essence of the problem". Then, of course, you just solve the problem.

The first main roster release of the year has come for the WWE. Eric Escobar has been released from his contract. A statement released on WWE.com said:
'WWE has come to terms on the release of Smackdown superstar Eric Escobar as of Jan. 17, 2010. WWE wishes Eric all the best in his future endeavors.'
This is no suprise as the last time we saw Eric Escobar he was getting squashed and embarrassed on Smackdown.
He never looked like main event potential and was believed to be cocky and arrogant back stage.

Don't Shoot the Messenger — Learning about process servers
by Becky Bye
Recently, I acted as nurse to my fiancé following a minor surgery. One day, when he was resting from the surgery and I was working at the house, he received a call from an unknown Colorado phone number. When he picked it up, the voice on the other end calmly, but firmly said: "You have a process server…waiting…right outside of your door." He glanced up and repeated the information to me — my heart skipped a beat. A flurry of scenarios flashed through my mind as I tried to figure out why one of us would be served with papers and what the consequences were. After we exchanged worried expressions, he walked to the door and opened it. Standing before us, I saw a real process server, holding a big package.
Luckily, the package was a "get well" gift from Rufus' employer, filled with sweets galore — which I enjoyed much more than I would have if the package had been a summons. The process server was Ronn Nixon, a longtime friend of his firm.
With relief and curiosity, I told Ronn how startled I was and asked him whether he received any extraordinary reactions from people who were getting served with real papers, not gift baskets. He explained that he indeed had many interesting stories. He also described his job and reiterated how crucial process servers are to the legal system. He further expressed surprise at how many attorneys (myself included) were unaware of the details of process serving, particularly because the fundamental purpose of process serving is to initiate and ensure the constitutional rights of those who have been named in court documents, thereby maintaining their "due process" rights.
Maybe it was my interest in hearing about real-life drama or this branch of our litigation system to which I had not been previously exposed, but I was intrigued, and I realized this would make a perfect Docket article. Ronn and I met again to discuss his background and stories. He explained that service of process is not as easy as it seems — usually it takes more than one, and often many, attempts to find the right person to serve and to properly serve them. Other servers have a "three attempts and out" policy, but Ronn thinks it is important to maintain his "unlimited attempts" policy to acquire jurisdiction on behalf of his clients.
Ronn entered into process serving as a favor for a friend. To his surprise, he enjoyed it and everything about it, including the adrenaline rush and the "great thrill of a job well done." He now enjoys business relationships with various clients — lawyers and law firms.
To do well as a process server, Ronn stresses that one must know C.R.C.P. Rule 4 (titled "Process") inside and out, in addition to other civil procedure rules. Most of his cases are relatively straightforward and the emotions are predictable, he said. Many people already know the process papers are coming, so they are relatively underwhelmed when he gets there. Others, surprisingly, are relieved when they get the document, perhaps because it symbolizes ending a tumultuous chapter in their life and beginning a new one that will end any issues they have.
But many people are in shock for the first 30 to 90 seconds, and Ronn takes that opportunity to get out of their way in case things take a turn for the worse. On two occasions, Ronn's service of process almost became violent or troublesome. One time, in a collections case, Ronn attempted to serve the particular person when the individual's family threw a huge party following his return from a hunting trip. Knowing that he "did not want to embarrass a man who had just smelled blood with a rifle," Ronn went to the front door of the house. The inchoate defendant came around the house and walked up behind Ronn. Visibly intoxicated, the man proceeded to charge at him like a linebacker. Anticipating the aggression, Ronn moved out of the way. The man struck the door frame with his full weight and collapsed on the floor, sobbing wildly from the resulting injury to his hand.
Another time, Ronn was hired to serve an affluent business person who had lied about his identity so as to avoid being served. Ronn proceeded to serve him, knowing that he was misrepresenting his identity. Later that night, Ronn came home and found that two police cars were in his own parking area waiting for him. Apparently, that person called the police and alleged that Ronn had broken into his home and tried to rob him. Ronn explained the situation and consequently, the police charged the recipient of that summons with filing a false report. Ronn was called to testify against him in that proceeding!
Potential violence or awkward situations aside, process serving has its perks too. Many recipients of papers acknowledge that he is often merely the bearer of bad news and express, to Ronn's relief, "I won't shoot the messenger." Once, as he attempted to serve an individual, he got pulled in to judge a culinary school contest in which the defendant was a competitor. Ronn ended up serving a variety of documents on the contestant as the monthly stages of the competition unfolded (another long, but interesting story). Through his work, Ronn has met many interesting people and served people in all types of places and situations.
The life of a process server is definitely not boring; the scenery constantly changes. Each day, many attorneys initiate new law suits and passively make their phone call to an assistant or their process server, and request to have the service done. Many do so without digesting exactly what adventures they request another to make, acknowledging the process server's elemental purpose in litigation, or appreciating the inherent difficulties and even risks that the job of a process server entails.

The tea party folks must be feeling left out these days what with Occupy Wall Street garnering all the headlines. Some members of the tea party posted a resolution to stop hiring any employees in their businesses until this administration stop its radical anti-business socialist agenda. And furthermore, members of the Senate should stop yielding their congressional power to the new dictator (Obama). You can read about it here.
But even as these members of the tea party have resolved to stop hiring, me and the fellas in the band (Jeff Witzeman & The Jealous Housewives) are hoping that members at the top still want to hire a group of first rate musicians to pen a new tea party anthem. Think of the possibilities... it could be used at all tea party functions, maybe be played on radio and tee vee in the red states, and generally further the cause of those wishing more individual rights. So to that end, we're posting a new song here and hope that Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry are listening. Herb (excuse me,) Herm Cain, you're welcome to use it as well. But get ready to pony up some cash... we don't come cheap.

A concerned citizen attempted to revive a driver who was unconscious in a vehicle that was stopped in the middle of traffic Friday afternoon, according to a release.
The citizen pulled Kimberly K. Olson, 30, of Madison, out from behind the wheel of a car that was stopped in the middle of the road where East Towne Boulevard meets Independence Lane, police said.
The woman began life-saving measures as police and fire were called, according to the release. Paramedics arrived, administered Narcan, and Olson was revived.
Olson admitted to shooting heroin and apologized for her actions, officials said. She was arrested on tentative charges of possession of drug paraphernalia and on a probation hold.

Why The DC100 Concepts Will Save Land Rover
by Gunnar Heinrich
WHEN L322 – the current generation Range Rover – bowed to an enthused public in 2002, Range Rover had succeeded in revitalizing an aging nameplate with a forward looking design replete with new technology whilst reincorporating the original Range Rover Classic's DNA into the car's style. In short: L322was a home run for Range Rover. Land Rover – with aging Defender, Discovery, and under appreciated LR4 and unfortunate Freelander models – was sidelined and has withered accordingly for the bulk of the past decade.
The DC concepts are set to change that.
eBay Watch! What Price Land Rover Defender 90?
by Gunnar Heinrich ::: img via eBay ::: Land Rover Defender 90
CLOCKING more than a decade since the Land Rover Defender 90 ceased its official stride across the Pond, the rugged and bolt-on-simple Landie is still very much loved as a blizzard worthy all-terrainer. The Defender's the mature Wrangler, some might say. This affection would help explain some of the steep Defender prices on eBay.
Wall Street Trembles But Car Dealers Were Already Quaking
IMG by Robert Madeira
By Gunnar Heinrich
IT'S one of those funny constant that we can come to expect.
Such is this tidal nature that when there are boom periods – the economy is up; life's good and people are well catered to by material amenities.
Like de luxe automobiles.
The tide recedes, as it must, and it goes without saying that the converse proves to be quite true.
Wall Street has been having weeks so rough that it's insular turmoils have spilled over like acrid battery acid onto Main Streets this world round.
And while business folk and the idle rich in Shanghai or Dubai are less apt to feel the pain as those in New York or London, it'll be interesting to note just what kind of hit luxury and exotic car makers and their dealer networks take in their global earnings in the wake of this financial meltdown.
Consider the following snippet from an explanatory article CNBC's Jim Cramer wrote for New York Magazine as food for heartburn.
"For two-plus decades, New Yorkers have been living in a Wall Street–dominated world. Ushered in by Michael Milken and Henry Kravis, popularized by Oliver Stone and Tom Wolfe, and carried to its decadent extreme by hedge-funders with 32,000-square-foot Greenwich mansions and Gulfstreams at every airstrip, it was an era that dramatically changed New York.
I don't care what the stock market did late last week or what it does in the next few days. That age, the Master of the Universe Era, is over. Too many people were too badly burned by taking too much risk to repeat that trick again. That has practical implications for everything from private schools, Range Rover dealerships, and Sotheby's auctions to SAT tutors, newsstand operators, and shoeshine guys."
Trouble is, the Range Rover (and BMW and Cadillac and Lexus and…) dealers were already feeling the pain before the $#!& hit the fan.

Five Hundred Million Is Impossible To Ignore
No badges on that Rover.
By Gunnar Heinrich
NIKOLAI "Niko" Bellic is the new Scarface. And true to inflationary form, his gig has already netted him (and his creators) far more dough than Tony Montana ever could imagine.
Starting this week, we can expect that dorm rooms and frat houses on college campuses around America will pin up large posters of this rags-to-riches video game antihero who'll appear alongside Al Pacino's omnipresent Cubano stoking mug.
Not a week old, Niko's already made it to cult icon status.
Niko is the fictional protagonist in a third-person shooter game called Grand Theft Auto IV.
The game, developed by Rockstar Games and "published" by Take-Two Entertainment is part of an eight edition strong brand of console games that's pushing the entertainment envelope off the proverbial table and blowing the gamer away with an uzi spray of physics simulations and gritty plot lines.
"Players can expect visible detail down to the weeds growing in the cracks in the sidewalk, cars and buildings of visibly different ages and a much greater level of verticality [huh?] in the buildings and bridges that they are able to explore as Niko moves through the city streets," Amazon.com's official reviewer enthused.
The auto industry, doubtless unprepared and beholden to political correctness, is already along for the ride in this carjacked vehicle of next wave interactive entertainment.
And there's plenty of money to be made; The Financial Times hyperventelated that, "The Grand Theft Auto IV video game has stolen all entertainment records for an opening week, with global retail sales of about 6 [million] copies, or $500 [million]."
And yet none of the automobiles that appear in Grand Theft Auto IV are marque identifiable.
But like the game's setting in fictional "Liberty City," whose appearance is as eerily close to New York as the Jaguar XF's profile is to the Lexus GS (ahem), there's really no mistaking a Range Rover Sport HSE or a Ford Crown Vic for anything other than what they seem to be – but technically and legally aren't.
Surely, you say, the auto industry will find a way around its collective P.C. inhibitions to cash in on this cow of new wave media gold.
Perhaps, though they'll have to first contend with the likes of MADD, a militant Floridian lawyer, the skeptical Televised press, and governmental agencies like Gotham's own City Hall who have all been busy vilifying (and rightfully so) the glamorized violence that the game's content aims at the world's impressionable 16-32 year olds.
That said, the dollars generated by this surging enterprise is something a cash strapped Detroit nor a keen Stuttgart or Tokyo can afford to ignore.
There's really only one question the automakers' marketing departments are likely asking themselves: what's the cost for cross-marketing with a malevolent new wave cult icon?

Thanksgiving not only came early for me this year, it's actually come multiple times, especially during times of difficult trials and spells of uncertainty.
If there's one thing I used to fear, it's the unknown, and if there's one thing I use to despise, it's waiting. Yet these past few months were filled with constant waiting and a cloud of uncertainty. To my surprise though, these seem to have become my greatest source of strength.
There were times when I didn't know where to turn or what to do. I was tempted to give up. But through it all, a voice inside kept bringing me to my knees in thanksgiving. I felt an inner peace and unexplainable calmness. At first I was like, "I should be stressed out right now. What's wrong with me?' or "I should be worried and I'm not!"
I had about a dozen interviews for jobs but no offers. Finally, a door opened in a place where I realized I had spent some of the busiest and challenging and yet most satisfying years of my journalism career. And so I'm back in Hobbs. It reminds me of the song "In All Things Give Thanks," which says in poverty, in riches, in times of miracles or despair, in good times and bad, give thanks!"

Hi I am doing a simpson's rule problem, and one of the values I need is (sin x)/x at x=o. Now my calculator gives undefined which should be the answer, but graphing on wolfram alpha or on my calculator shows that at x=0 the answer is 1.
Please let me know
In the XVIII° century the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler demonstrated that the function is well represented as 'infinite sum' or 'infinite product'...
... and as consequence he obtained the important result...
Now if we set x=1 in the 'infinite sum' or in the 'infinite product' we obtain in both cases 1... so that, in my opinion [and probably in Euler's opinion...] , the statement that the function in x=0 is 'indeterminate' is highly questionable...
Kind regards
well i guess it depends on what you mean by "equality".
consider the function . what is f(1)? is it "determinate"?
a function with a removable discontinuity is not quite the same thing as a continuous function.
i believe it is important to distinguish between a limit, and its value.
well you often hear of people talking about "the function x^2" (or in this case, sin(x)/x). "x^2" isn't a function, it's a number. a better "name" for the function would be [ ]^2, or something similar, but such a notation gets cumbersome. if all you are given is the "rule" for the function, the standard practice is to allow the domain to be "everything within the realm of discourse that makes sense". for example, in calculus, this is "all real numbers for which f(x) is defined".
sin(x)/x is undefined at 0. so its domain is R-{0}. it has no "value" at 0. it does have a limit at 0, and the function resulting from using the value of the limit at x = 0 is even continuous. but as functions the two are not quite equal (different domains).
but the problem with chisigma's approach is even more subtle. his equation has a number on the left-hand side, and an infinite sum on the right hand side. the right-hand side is actually a limit in disguise (the limit of the partial sums, or in the second expression, the partial products). now, even though the radius of convergence is all of R, there is a slight wrinkle here: are we using the "equals" sign to indicate numerical equality, or as a definition? because as numerical equality, sin(x)/x is still undefined at 0, 0/0 is not a real number. as a definition (for example, if one uses Taylor series to actually define the sin function, which is one possible approach), there is no problem (the x's "cancel out").
this subtle but important distinction is underscored by the second sum involving pi. notice that the terms in the infinte sum are all rational, while the "sum" is irrational. the set of limit points of the set of rational numbers is "bigger" than the set of rational numbers. what this meant was not well-understood by the founders of calculus, possibly not even by euler himself. these type of considerations are, at their heart, no longer algebraic, but topological, which is what gives calculus its particular and singular flavor.

This sort of thing could easily snowball.
What precipitated this?
Not too late for this. Four inches of snow yesterday in southwest Virginia. Big, fluffy flakes that looked like snowballs.
If you're gonna go strolling around, wearing a top hat on a SNOW DAY, you have only yourself to blame for whatever happens next.
Besides the top hat, what did he expect wearing a Charlie Brown sweater-is Millie channeling Lucy?
sweet serenity!!!

For every NES and Sony Playstation, there are countless gaming systems that just didn't make it. Sometimes it's bad luck, or the marketplace. And other times, it's because their system was completely retarded.
These are the systems that deserved to be forgotten. Unless the point was to laugh at them, which we shall do now.
6Magnavox Odyssey 100 and 200 (1975)
Most gamers remember Atari's Pong for getting the whole video game console party started back in 1975. Most do not know that Pong was stolen from an even earlier console, the Magnavox Odyssey (Pong was a ripoff of their Table Tennis game). Magnavox even sued over it, and reached an out-of-court settlement in their favor.
But nobody bought the Magnavox Odyssey, mostly because a primitive public that was frightened and confused by electronics thought that the Magnavox game console would only work on Magnavox televisions. So Atari utterly dominated the industry instead, delighting an extremely easily entertained nation.
Pong. Note TVs only had three channels back then.
A bitter Magnavox was looking to score some more of that Pong cash that everyone was rolling in. So in 1975 they cranked out two new versions of the Magnavox Odyssey: the 100 and 200.
"Now even more orange!"
Magnavox really wasn't thinking big, and figured that Pong would be the only video game ever. So they released consoles dedicated to very slight Pong variations, amusingly called things like TENNIS and HOCKEY (the two that were on the Odyssey 100--the 200 model had a third game).
Tennis, football, and hockey. Seriously.
Why you've never heard of it:
To give you an idea of what the technology was like at the time, the Odyssey 200 was not smart enough to keep track of your score. You had to do it yourself, with a manual slider thing (even Pong kept score for you, on-screen). Copyright laws were very loose in the gaming world at the time, and Pong rip-offs pretty much flooded the market. There was no reason to buy this stupid thing that made you keep your own score.
"Finally, something that combines the excitement of tennis with my passion for writing down numbers."
Despite dismal sales, Magnavox kept plugging away, later releasing even more consoles with even more variations of pong (the Odyssey 300 and 400, finally including the amazing innovation of on-screen scoring).
If you're one of those late adopters and would like to get in on the Odyssey 200 fun, you can usually find them on eBay for almost nothing (we found one at ten dollars with zero bids). Hook that shit up to your 72-inch HDTV and you've got yourself a party.
5The Fairchild Channel F (1976)
This was released in August 1976 under the incredibly vague name "Video Entertainment System." Predictably, this name turned out to be too similar to another console, the Video Computer System released by Atari around the same time, so Fairchild was forced to change the name to the Channel F. Atari then changed the name of their system to the Atari 2600, but Fairchild didn't bother changing theirs back because, really, what would be the point.
The Channel F was groundbreaking in that it was the first console to use cartridges with the games on them (it came out before the Atari, and everything up to that point had been like the Pong machines, where the games were programmed into the console and those were the only ones you could ever play).
If you squint you can see this is "Baseball."
Why you've never heard of it:
Like Magnavox before it, the Channel F couldn't compete with Atari's console. The console got buried so deep in its shadow that it may as well not have existed. Only 26 games were ever released for it (as opposed to the 900 games released for the Atari).
It didn't help that the wiring in the Channel F was apparently as brittle as uncooked spaghetti. Also, while the controllers were the closest thing to a wired Wii-mote at the time (in shape at least), they didn't have a base. That meant you couldn't rest it on your stomach along with your drink and a bag of chips.
Fairchild, not content to lose to Atari, came back with the Channel F System II in 1979. A whopping six games were released before it was put out of its misery.

Japanese developed video games have always had a certain...Japanese quality to them. Not that there's anything wrong with that, it's just always been that way. But there seems to be a wind of change blowing through the world of Japanese game development.
Such is the topic of this week's Soapbox. Adam talks about how he's seem some adjustments in games coming out of Japan, and how he thinks they're finally taking notes on what their Western counterparts have been up to, and are folding those ideas into their game development. Will it make for better games? Or will we lose the originality that Japanese titles have had for so many years?

FBC Winfield holds youth drama festivalcomment (0)
May 28, 2009
By Darla Brantley
Drama ministries are important parts of many Alabama Baptist churches and First Baptist Church, Winfield, is encouraging local youth to use their creative talents in worship. The Marion Baptist Association church held a youth drama festival in April to share ideas and build support and excitement among area students.
The festival was organized by Joyce Ballew, wife of First, Winfield, pastor Charles A. Ballew, and more than 110 people represented by six area churches attended the event. The festival featured drama techniques such as interpretive movement, skits, stick dramas and sign language.
"I actually borrowed the idea," Ballew explained. "A couple of years ago I became aware of how another denomination offered their high school students an opportunity to participate in a festival that permitted them to share their God-given talents through various methods. I witnessed a gathering of thousands of teens for this event and I thought it was a wonderful idea," she said.
While the Winfield event was not as extensive, Ballew was pleased with the outcome.
"God has given our teens many talents and they need to be encouraged to use these talents for Him," she said. "This event was an opportunity to share with others outside their home church and it gave each group an opportunity to see different kinds of creative worship."
And the response couldn't have been more positive.
Winfield resident Kim McDaniel, who helps her husband Kevin lead the youth ministry at Lamar Association's Union Chapel Baptist Church, Beaverton, agreed. "We really enjoyed it and we need to do these every month," she said, laughing. "The world has so much to offer and we need more events like these for our youth," she said.
McDaniel has also discovered how some aspects of drama ministry, such as sign language and interpretive movement, appeal to more reserved students. "It gives kids an opportunity to express their feelings and desire to worship without speaking or singing solos," she said.
Kelsey Holdbrooks, student and member of First, Winfield, often takes part in the church's drama ministry, which she feels is a needed way to share Christ.
"Drama ministry is important because it is a great tool to reach out to others and it is a way for youth to use their talents for the Lord," she said.
Ballew plans to hold more events like this in the future. "Everyone involved felt like it was very successful, a great learning experience and an encouragement to our teens. Everyone is anxious to do this again."
Ballew believes strongly in the potential impact of a drama ministry.
"Jesus used storytelling and parables in His teaching and these are a form of drama," she said. "It is a visual presentation on a certain subject that may be able to minister to someone in a way nothing else can."
Other churches represented at the festival were First Baptist Church, Hackleburg; Kemp Chapel Baptist Church, Hamilton; First Baptist Church, Gu-Win; and South Hamilton Baptist Church, Hamilton.

Jeffco sheriff's deputies arrested a man Aug. 4 after he apparently shot at an insurance claims investigator.
Marshall C. Lawson, 27, is being held in the Jefferson County Detention Facility on a $150,000 bond on charges of attempted first-degree murder.
The weekend concerts at Red Rocks Amphitheatre by the rock band Phish were subdued as far as law enforcement was concerned, allaying fears that these concerts would be a repeat of the last time Phish fans flooded the Morrison area.
"I was the on-call (police spokeswoman) over the weekend, and I wasn't advised of anything major happening," said Detective Sharon Avendano of the Denver Police Department. Red Rocks and the park's parking lots are owned and operated by the city of Denver.
A five-vehicle crash left one man dead Monday evening on C-470 near the Ken Caryl Avenue exit. The highway was closed for three hours.
According to the Colorado State Patrol, a little before 5 p.m. a Chrysler driven by 19-year-old Brock Hornung of Arvada was headed west on C-470 in the left lane. His car went off the left side of the highway near the Ken Caryl Avenue exit and struck a pole. The car continued into the eastbound lanes, hitting a motorcycle, a Chevy S-10 pickup and a Toyota Camry. A fifth vehicle, a Nissan Altima, was struck by debris.
A single pear hung from the top branch of one of more than a dozen pear trees at Feeding Many's community fruit orchard Aug. 1.
The orchard wasn't supposed to produce fruit yet; the trees and other plants were planted at the beginning of April, and Shirl Smith, the orchard's creator and driving force, wasn't expecting anything to flower until at least spring of 2010.
But there it was, the single pear, which Smith took as a sign.
"It's the very example of why we're here in the first place," Smith said.
The Jeffco commissioners have charged more than $1,200 on their county credit cards since May 5, on items ranging from airline tickets to T-shirts.
This information, available in the past through open records requests usually accompanied by several days of waiting, comes from the county's new online procurement card database, a feature the county says will increase transparency for residents wondering how their tax dollars are being spent.
Advocates pushing for a dog park at South Jeffco's Robert Easton Park have been rebuffed and will have to find a new site.
The proposal was opposed by residents of the neighboring Waters Edge subdivision, leading Foothills Park & Recreation District officials to scrap the idea and start over. Now the district is eyeing a portion of Jeffco Open Space land controlled by the district at the Fehringer Ranch property near the intersection of Highway 285 and South Simms Street.
Landmark newspapers in other parts of the U.S. have reported a telephone scam involving classified advertising customers.
Several classified customers reported being contacted by telephone by individuals falsely identifying themselves as an employee of the newspaper. The customers were told that a payment problem had occurred with their advertisement and asked for a credit card number or checking account transaction routing number.
The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office is looking for a man who sexually assaulted a woman in the early-morning hours of July 20.
According to the sheriff's office, a woman in her 40s couldn't sleep and went out on her patio about 2 a.m. July 20 at her apartment in the 7400 block of South Quail Circle (near South Simms Street and West Ken Caryl Avenue). As she was headed back inside, a man grabbed her from behind and forced her inside, where he punched her, ripped off her clothes and sexually assaulted her. He then left through the apartment's front door.
Jeffco's share of Scientific and Cultural Facilities District funds dropped 16 percent from 2008 to 2009, but the district still awarded more than $820,000 to various organizations and events.
The Jeffco commissioners may have once again run afoul of the Colorado Open Meetings Law by using e-mail to discuss a common statement regarding the board's controversial effort to seek authority to regulate bicyclists on county roads.
The apparent violation comes less than two years after the Courier successfully sued the Board of Commissioners over a violation of the law in July 2007. In a settlement of that lawsuit, the commissioners acknowledged they violated the Open Meetings Law and agreed to follow all of the law's provisions in the future.

So I've never been to PaizoCon before and have a bunch of questions.
When on Friday do things start and when on Sunday do they end? This information will be useful in booking flights/hotel etc.
Speaking of booking Hotel how do I get the PaizoCon rate at the hotel?
Also where/when do I sign up for PFS events?
|CalebTGordan RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 16, RPG Superstar 2015 Top 32
Things start early Friday (early for me at least.) They end in the afternoon on Sunday officially but there is still stuff going on into the night.
Call the hotel and tell them you want the PaizoCon rate.
Events will be available for sign up when they are posted. They probably wont be posted for a couple more months. Keep an eye on the site and you should do well.
I encourage you to run a game if you are a GM. Running a game is a great way to introduce yourself and show people who you are. The lottery always needs more games, so when a call goes out for those don't hesitate to sign up to run a game.

There are also the unofficial events as well. The Thursday Meet and Greet is a prime example (though it sounds like it may have to span multiple locations this year) and there has been a fair amount of post con gaming as well on Sunday afternoon/evening.
In 2009 and 2010, I flew in Thursday night and flew out Monday morning (though I will be flying in on Wednesday night this year ... hoping to catch the fireworks from above ;) ).

Shumlin to face Cuomo in raft raceJuly 20,2014The Associated Press
ALBANY, N.Y. — New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has invited Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin to the Adirondacks to compete in a rafting race meant to highlight the area's recreational opportunities.
