HI April! Yes, 30 sets is doable! :)
HI April! Yes, 30 sets is doable! :)
I sent mine to you yesterday (It is after midnight so I had to think about that) Should arrive on Sat and confirmation # is 0312 3190 0002 1051 5221
Our post office was also closed at noon on New Years Eve, and I stay up and sew very late... so I was arriving at PO after they were closed! I really do need to start reading the notices that are posted! And did some one say postage is going up!!! Yikes not again!
Yes, postage rates are going up, starting Jan. 27th.
They can be any color or print correct?
If you guys see volcanic eruption coming from the north east coast of the US, it will be from a small town on an island a couple of miles from NYC...Actually, it will be coming from Woodmere Blvd.
I mailed my package to Mariposa... but before I did.. I ordered the padded flat rate envelopes online, and printed my labels.. So far. So good.. Took the nice packages to the P.O., and was told that they would be cheaper to put it into a different Tyavek envelope. I wrote up the labels, and went to a different clerk, as the first one was helping another person. What should've cost me about $5.30 X 2, ended up costing about $11 X 2.. I don't understand how the clerks in the P.O. don't know what they are doing.. These clerks aren't new on the job. They have been here for years. My mistake was not taking my package, and going to another P.O. I wanted to make sure it got out, and didn't want to take the chance, and run into a time crunch.. I thought it didn't make sense, but have been putting in major hours at work, and was really tired.
Barri- you will like the padded FRE's. Especially the newew ones! :) And cost $5.30 to send. Not sure of new rates coming ~~
I was using the FRE. I had gotten them a couple of weeks ago, and the guy was saying the only FRE were the cardboard. Two guys were saying it. It ticks me off that they don't know what they are doing. These are guys that have been in the position for at least 15-20 years. I live in a very affluent area, and the people have an attitude that money is no object, and I see the clerks in the stores have an attitude that they don't give a damn. The people that work here, don't live here. There are a lot of things that I am seeing that are getting progressively worse. A couple of them are the attitude of entitlement. The guy with the DDS plates parking in the bus stop to run in for a bagel.. The guy that parked in the middle of Central Ave to use the ATM machine. I was riding my bike. Couldn't go arround him on the right, as there was a car parked.. Couldn't go around him on the left, as there was traffic. Had to either wait, or bring the bike on the sidewalk..
I am in sending you a PM:) Was not sure I would make this swap but love those little squares. My asthma been bad and just starting to put xmas things away.Hope to take my tree down tomorrow.
Attachment 386427
Good thing it does not have needles.
Hope you all are having a great day.
Barri-- I got your package today! I'll send you a PM too~

Arsenal's Rachel Yankey says she probably scored one of the best goals of her career to seal the WSL Continental Cup win over Birmingham.
The winger capped her player of the match performance with two goals, a free kick followed by a wonder volley and she said a goal like her second doesn't happen very often.
"It was a good pass from Jayne Ludlow. It bounced up in front of me and I just instinctively hit it.
The free kick came off Rachel Williams' head but I'll take it," she said.
Arsenal had to endure sustained periods of Birmingham pressure and Yankey admitted they struggled at first.
"We didn't start well at all and we couldn't get into the game but once the first goal went in it was like everyone wanted to play."
Birmingham had the better of the first quarter of the game but Arsenal stormed back to score twice in two minutes through Ellen White, then a header from captain Ludlow before Yankey's free kick made it three.
Birmingham pulled a goal back through substitute Isobel Christiansen before Yankey's second.
Arsenal manager Laura Harvey said she was pleased at the way her team responded after a poor start.
"I couldn't believe we were two goals up because we had been so bad," Harvey said.
"Sometimes you can sit back when you score and rest on your laurels but to go on and score a second so quickly completely changed the momentum of the game.
"I thought we defended really well and when you stop that threat, sometimes they struggle to find other options."
Birmingham boss David Parker admitted they were beaten by the better side but still thought the final score was flattering.
"We didn't create the clear cut opportunities Arsenal did and Rachel (Yankey) has taken two great finishes today which has made the difference," he said.
"We switched off just before the (opening) goals. It wasn't the worst mistakes, we just didn't track and pick up and you get punished."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Please note that the Hair Testing Kits/Services are not available to the state of Iowa.
Hair Follicle Test Kits
Hair Follicle Drug Testing is one of the most trusted methods of drug detection today and is used by law enforcement officials, employers and parents alike. This method is not only accurate but it is also a zero-tolerance test, which means that even the smallest amount of a drug will show up on the test.
Hair drug test analysis can provide a drug history over a 90-day period and has consistently proven to be more effective than urinalysis and other methods in correctly identifying substance abusers. Using a small sample of hair cut at the scalp, hair analysis evaluates the amount of drug metabolites embedded inside the hair shaft.
If no head hair is available, body hair can be used. Bleaches, shampoos and external contaminants (i.e. marijuana smoke) have no known impact on test results
We offer two types of Hair Testing:
Self-Collection Hair Test: The TestCountry Hair Drug Testing Kits are designed for fast and accurate hair drug testing needs. Using the instructions provided, the hair sample is collected at home or at the office and sent to the laboratory using the prepaid priority shipping label provided in the kit. All results are provided in written format and are reviewed by a Medical Review Officer. Just Click on the picture above for all our self collection test kits.
Lab-based Hair Test: Hair sample is collected at one of the labs of your choice. This test kit is designed for pre-employment purposes.
Our Customer Service Representatives are available Mon-Fri 8.00am - 5.00pm PST to answer any additional questions you may have.
- Choosing A Drug Testing Method: Which One is Right for Me?
Amongst several methodologies that have been developed in the last few decades to trace the drug abuse, Hair-drug testing method is gaining wide acceptance & popularity due to its high accuracy & efficiency, not to mention the ease of performing the test itself! This test uses the hair segments as samples to detect the traces of certain drugs & analyze them quantitatively to determine if they amount over the permitted metabolite cut-offs. This technique is principally quite simple. As and when a person ingests a drug, upon first pass metabolism by liver, these drugs are converted to various metabolic products or metabolites. These metabolites or original drug molecules then circulate in the blood stream. The blood arteries are connected to the hair shaft and thus drugs or their metabolites are delivered to the hair follicles. In due course of time, through these follicles, the metabolites are entrapped into the core of the shaft i.e. the cortex of the hair fiber. As the hair grows, new metabolites are added at the bottom, with the old metabolites at the top. Hence a one and half or two inch long hair segment with follicle attached can be used to draw a complete map of the drug history of an individual.


text: This isn't a great big deal. Just a major annoyance. I've had the truck a little over 2 years. When I first bought it, the quadrant/odometer display would go out intermittently. A little on the clear cover, or wiggling the reset button would usually get it to come back on. Now, it has gone out completely, and out for the count. Just wondering if there is an easy fix for this, before I drop $150 + shipping on a used replacement. Thanks in advance!!

I think everyone around me is tired of this cold weather repeatedly dipping down here and lingering. Since the heavy rains it's been hitting the low 30's and tagging the upper 20's at night here in central SC. The daytime has been hanging out in the 50's. The bees have been active since getting out after the rains, though. Along with peaches, other trees, and weeds, the holly is bloom. This means our first noticeable nectar flow is underway. So, the girls are out busily gathering nectar while the sun shines. Jessamine is also abloom, but there is so much else that they find more attractive blooming at the same time that I've never seen a honey bee partaking of it.
It may have been (and will again be) cold but it doesn't seem to have slowed the bees. I'm seeing loads of swarm cells.....and a few already flew the coop.
Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. - Emerson

Collinson FX market Commentary: August 23, 2012
The Fed's Minutes were released and indicated that QE3 may be 'warranted fairly soon' if economic conditions did not improve. The FOMC Minutes cited the European Debt/Deficit crises and the corresponding slowdown in demand spreading to China and Asia.
This was exemplified with the rising Japanese Trade deficit. Warning bells were ringing when this trade deficit was announced reflecting the serious nature of falling global demand in the worlds third biggest economy and former trade surplus superstar!.
In Europe markets await the outcome of the Merkel/Hollande summit and the response to requests from Greek PM, Samaras, for 'more air to breathe'! The suggestion of further stimulus has driven the Dollar lower and correspondingly real value commodities up. The surprise was the marginal reaction of the Equity markets who would ordinarily explode on the prospect of further Central Bank intervention.
The rally was marginal reflecting the markets expectations and the real effect of security purchases to the nth degree. Bernanke will be loath to intervene in the lead up to the Presidential elections. The EUR regained some ground to 1.2520 with the dollars reaction.
The US Existing Home Sales rose 2.3% but weekly Mortgages fell 7.4%. The AUD reacted positively rising back above 1.0500 after some disturbing investment news. BHP shelved a $30 Billion mining project at Olympic Dam,SA shadowing the much vaunted investment pipeline. Commodity prices and the strong AUD combined with limited Capital and a uncertain political climate with rising tax costs have lead to a perfect storm for mining investment.
This is the single biggest worry for the Australian economy.
The KIWI managed to move to 0.8125 pushed by the weaker USD. Eyes will be focused on the European political developments and the repercussions they will have on Global markets.
Collinson FX market Commentary: August 22, 2012
In a world where Apple has become the biggest company in US history you have to wonder? A company that produces the iPhone and iPad is selling so many, at such a huge margin, that they are now worth more than many small countries. The company is beloved by stock holders but is symbolic of the current downturn in the US.
The brains trust reside in the bankrupt California but all production occurs in China. Sales are global and therefore revenues remain global due to the US tax system. This is indicative of the 'new normal', where growth and revenue occur offshore and the static domestic growth of Western Nations continues to be mired in socialised debt and budgetary crises.
The only respite is further Central bank intervention in expanding liquidity to the banks who refuse to stimulate the small/medium business but rather invest in the impending bubble that is treasuries! The monetary stimulus is eroding citizens wealth in real terms at a dramatic rate but I guess that is the plan. The EUR rallied to 1.2480 after concerns wavered in Europe as Merkel appointee to the ECB, Asmussen, endorsed an unlimited ECB Bond Buying program.
The sheer desperation of unlimited purchase of debt is astounding. It will solve the problem short-term but builds an almost insurmountable problem down the track. Some one has to pay the interest on the debt when budgets can not meet current obligations?!Fitch has warned of further downgrades after rallies in equities hit year highs on the back of monetary stimulus prospects. A removal of cancerous cells, in the form of Greece, may well provide some support for the single currency but that is assuming that Spain and Italy do not need a cull.
The GBP broke out of technical levels on the upside after the Bank of England endorsed a steady interest rate policy.
The RBA reiterated a steady as she goes policy with steady growth and inflation. The need to intervene is not pressing with monetary policy soft providing a surety for AUD holders at 1.0485. The KIWI traded around 0.8100 despite weak Credit Card expenditure and a flight of citizens to the Australian mining sector.
The Fed minutes may provide action but focus will increase on the central bank conference at Jackson Hole!
Collinson FX market Commentary: August 21, 2012
Mixed messages from Europe sent stocks lower although quiet economic data releases restricted moves. The Bundesbank has reiterated their reservations with regards the ECB's intended Bond buying program.
The reality is that Germany becomes the lender of last resort to a spiralling out of control Europe. A story was also circulating of the ECB imposing a cap on EU Bonds, would have enormous implications in terms of free market operation with far reaching unintended consequences. Merkel meets Hollande Thursday so this may have an impact as they mutually attempt to reassure markets. The EUR has traded sideways at 1.2350 and the GBP reaching 1.5700.
In the US, the Chicago Fed's Manufacturing Index slid lower but the lack of a dramatic collapse in the economy prevents the Fed intervening. Markets will look to the EU Debt/Deficit crises developments for direction and the Fed minutes later in the week.
The AUD stabilised to trade 1.0450 with political rumours swirling of an early election driven by a failure in the Budget surplus and an avalanche of pressure from failed economic policies. A look at the RBA minutes may give insight to the Central Banks view of economic conditions.
The KIWI also held below 0.8100 with not much going on domestically. Central Banks and leading politicians will provide market direction with technicals pointing to substantial resistance on the upside!

Jules Clément Chaplain (French, 1839–1909)
Jules-Élie Delaunay
Silvered bronze, 3 15/16 in. diameter
Chaplain won the Prix de Rome for medal-engraving in 1863, and went on to have a highly successful career, including election to the Académie des Beaux-Arts in 1881 and an appointment as Art Director of the Sèvres Porcelain Manufactory in 1896. In 1877 Chaplain became the official medallist of the French government, creating a series of presidential portrait medals. His many animated and realistic medallions of intellectuals and artists, however, constitute his greatest achievement.
Recto: Portrait in profile of the painter Delaunay (1828–1891). Inscribed: j. elie delaunay peintre. Signed: j. c. chaplain.
Verso: A male personification of painting, with a palette and brushes beside him, kneels in a rocky landscape in order to drink water from a stream. Above him hovers Apollo, god of the arts, playing his lyre.

evangeline, you've repeatedly labelled discussions with those who defend Chan's scores per the system as condescending. Keeping in mind that we operate in an environment where people complain when he skates well (which admittedly is amusing to me), how do we debate? Your reponse to SkateFiguring seems to be the exact same one people have been trying to give - looking at the rules and rendering an explanation. If he does it with a sense of irony, well, we've seen Chan get beat up pretty brutally on the internet (lest we forget there were 20 pages of Chan hate during Skate Canada).
I'm willing to wager at Worlds if Chan skates well and posts a high score, you'll hear the same "I can't believe that's a record" score despite the fact that there are a number of reasons outside Chan's/judges control that contribute to that (like the higher base value for elements). It's the internet, so conviction in ignorance is nothing new (and this isn't directed at you at all), but it's still frustrating nonetheless, and humour is one way to oppose it.
evangeline, I didn't mean to offend or target you. So much Chan bashing has just kind of melded together and I was amusing myself with observation of reactions to good results from Chan. Didn't recall who was doing goat sacrifices though it's funny. My "voodoo" is a little secret joke with myself.
It's weekend and I like doing and seeing things in numbers. There has been a lot of condemnation of the scoring corridor but when I organized the scores today, I found there were good reasons for the corridor. Marking differently is not forbidden or automatically wrong but it does merit some examinations. It's the same way governements pick who to audit by seeing what stands out from the norm.
I tried to see if there really was unfair scoring for Patrick but found instead unfair scoring against him. Always interesting to actually look at facts and numbers.
How many quads in competition has Patrick Chan attempted this season so far? 6 in 6 programs in 3 competitions. How many quads has he successfully done? 4 including one in combination. Impressive in deed! Patrick Chan is a trooper! Besides his quads, I've found that his spins are very good too. Not as fast , but as well centered as Lambiel's. When he raised his hands in the air during spinning, it looks great! I still disliked his hands though. Overscored or not, happy for him to win the GPF.
Last edited by Bluebonnet; 12-12-2010 at 01:12 AM.
I actually had no problem with any of the scoring of the mens event at the GP final. What a surprising relief after the ghastly scoring especialy for Patrick Chan throughout the GP which was a complete embarassment to the already fading in popularity sport. However this time they scored both programs pretty much exactly right.
As for Chan being overscored or not here, who cares he was still much better than anyone else. I agree his score was too much but he deserved to be far above Oda or Kozuka's performances. The problem is in when he gets placings he clearly doesnt deserve (Skate Canada) or is very close to one he clearly doesnt deserve (Russia). He is still probably the most overscored skater in history but when he clearly beats his competitors then it becomes a moot point.
Congratulations to Patrick Chan on winning his first GPF title and landing a nice quad. They actually showed some of his winning program of the evening news.
I forget in what thread I posted about Chan landing a quad an triple axel in the same program but he did it at the GPF which is good for him. I think that may have been earlier than I predicted I am not sure LOL.

Celebrating Britain's Glorious Past! - Thursday, 3 September 2009
Take a fascinating look behind the scenes at historic Fort Nelson on 12th and 13th September as part of the National Heritage Open Days weekend.
Enjoy guided tours of Fort areas not normally open to the public and witness the power and might of gun firings by uniformed soldiers of the Portsdown Artillery Volunteers.
Heritage Weekend highlights include special tours of the original Victorian officers' mess and anteroom, as well as the usually closed west tunnel. A further attraction will be a gallery tour by the Fort Nelson curatorial team, providing a fascinating insight into some of the highlights of the Royal Armouries collection of historic cannon.
Organised by the Royal Armouries – Britain's oldest museum – the event is absolutely free and suitable for all the family.
Built in the 1860s, Fort Nelson houses the national collection of historic cannon and big guns. The museum has one of the world's finest collections, with over 350 cannon dating back over 600 years. The collection originated from HM Tower of London and has been on display in Hampshire since 1995.
Fort Nelson is one of the famous Palmerston Forts, built by the Prime Minister of that name during the mid Victorian period, in response to a feared invasion by France.
Locals often joke the Fort's builders were looking at the architect's plans the wrong way round, as the fort's defences faced inland – and not towards Portsmouth Harbour! In fact, the Fort was built to protect the area from landward attack and the huge and imposing structure is "hidden" if approached from the north. The theory was that invaders would be effectively ambushed by unforeseen gunfire as they approached the north side of Portsdown Hill.
In fact, Fort Nelson had to wait 80 years before it saw enemy attack – and then it was by aerial bombardment during Hitler's blitz on Portsmouth, when Fort Nelson served as a key part of the South's anti-aircraft defences.
Open throughout the year, the museum has a whole range of attractions, designed to appeal to young and old alike, including secret underground tunnels and chambers to explore.
The Fort's Powderkeg Café is open seven days a week offering a range of snacks and refreshments.

Binghamton University to mark eighth anniversary of September 11
The Binghamton University campus community will observe the anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks through a variety of activities.
A morning memorial ceremony will begin at 8:40 a.m. Friday, September 11, in front of the Couper Administration Building. At 8:46 a.m., a bell will chime to mark the moment when the first plane struck the World Trade Center. Several New York State University Police officers will then participate in a flag ceremony, followed by a moment of silence. Flowers will also be placed in the Memorial Courtyard in the Fine Arts building, at the monument commemorating the 15 Binghamton University alumni killed in the World Trade Center.
Binghamton University is also teaming up with the United Way of Broome County to participate in Day of Caring activities. Faculty, staff, students and alumni have volunteered to work on numerous projects at various locations including the Endicott Visitors Center, the playground of the Jewish Community Center and the Southern Tier Celebrates Living Landscapes project at the MetroCenter.
The Chabad Center for Jewish Student Life in conjunction with Hillel at Binghamton and the Jewish Heritage Program will hold its annual campus wide, Mitzvah Marathon from 11 a.m.- 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 10. Mitzvah is the Hebrew word for "good deed" and the marathon is designed to present the campus community with opportunities to do a good deed in memory of the victims of 9/11. A pavilion will be set up between the University Union and the Library Tower where participants will be able to choose from many opportunities to do a Mitzvah. Participants will fill out a form documenting their good deed that will be attached to a picture of a victim of 9/11 and strung along a memory wall erected on the walkway near the Library Tower fountain.
Many local charity agencies will be on hand to offer volunteer opportunities within the wider community. Also available will be multiple opportunities for participants to give money, make sandwiches for the homeless, donate food to the Community Hunger Outreach Warehouse (CHOW), design New Year greeting cards for soldiers, design get well cards for children in local hospitals, and more. A Red Cross blood drive will take place from 11:30 a.m.-5 p.m. in Old Union Hall.

Gadget Geek's Guide to Star Wars
Tomorrow is May the fourth! If you're a true Star Wars fan, you'll need these gadgets to celebrate.
May the fourth is a very important day in the Star Wars subculture. We will give those of you who do not fall into this category a minute to figure it out… Got it? Okay. There are a lot of conventions and events happening on this day, but it's not a secret that most Star Wars fanatics would rather read Leia and Luke erotic fan fiction than head outdoors and swing their sabers in a park for all to see. We love the Star Wars films, and to show our appreciation of this special day, we've rounded up our favorite Star Wars gadgets that we think every fan should have.
Star Wars R2-D2 Projector
You may not be the princess's only hope, but you still can use Artoo's projection capabilities to watch your favorite films. Standing at 27", this incredibly lifelike R2-D2 is equipped with a CD/DVD player, an MP3/MP4 player, iPod projector and docking station, and memory card and USB slots. That's nothing to beep angrily at, even though it can, because it also has the most popular R2-D2 sound effects built in. It also has a Millennium Falcon remote control and stand, which is a really cool plus. Obviously, this amazing replica was a limited production, so it is a bit pricy when you can find it online, but to any die-hard fan, it's totally worth it. This is totally the droid you're looking for! Price: $4,800
Xbox 360 Limited Edition Kinect Star Wars Bundle
The Kinect Star Wars bundle may have come out the last time the second moon of Endor completed a full orbit, but it's still a pretty cool deal. And who doesn't love playing Xbox 360 games? With the bundle, you get a C-3PO-themed controller, an R2-D2-themed console, and the Kinect sensor, as well as a copy of Kinect Star Wars. If you already have a copy, why don't you give it to your girlfriend in exchange for some sweet slave Leia roleplay? Price: $400
Mimoco Han Solo USB Flash Drive
If you don't have the druggats to buy something as flashy as the Millennium Falcon, you can always go small to show your loyalty to the force. Mimco has come out with a ton of Star Wars USB keys, but our favorite has to be the Han Solo drive that comes in a Carbonite carrying case. It holds eight gigs, so it's no astromech droid, but it still does the job. Price: $34
Star Wars Lightsaber Room Light
What kind of Star Wars gadget guide would this be without the appearance of the formal weapon of a Jedi Knight? Class up any Korga Cave with a couple of these Lightsaber room lights! Each Lightsaber can turn eight different colors by remote and mounts easily onto the wall. They run on batteries, so you can also move them around your home. We're sure your wife will be thrilled with that prospect. Price: $23

Video: Netanyahu lectures Obama on why Israel's 1967 borders are indefensible
posted at 4:10 pm on May 20, 2011 by Allahpundit
I can't believe we have to wait another five days for the inevitable O'Reilly "body language segment" on this tete-a-tete. Good lord. The One looked like he was trying to pass a kidney stone at one point. Worst photo op evah.
Normally these Oval Office grip-and-grins begin with a few minutes of blah-blah from the president about America's enduring bond with the other leader's country, followed by a minute or so from that leader about the "productive discussion" they just had, and that's it. Not this time: Netanyahu takes off here for a good seven minutes, parts of which are so cutting — the conclusion about history not giving the Jewish people another chance is simply devastating — that it's hard to believe it was extemporaneous. In fact, by the end he's facing Obama and addressing him personally, just to add to the theater. Bibi knew this would be his golden opportunity to pay Obama back for yesterday's speech, and darned if he didn't seize it. It's riveting. O was probably completely blindsided by it too, but no doubt realized quickly that this little history lesson would soon go viral in the media and online. Hopefully no meaningful agreements were reached earlier in their private meeting, because if they were, you can forget about 'em now.

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by Vagabond, Aug 24, 2012.
Actually... you mean thread #6
How about "Swagger with the S'wagner!" ?
The Orange Team caught up with Christina Gao in Paris & did the card game with her.
Psh, because my counting skills are so brilliant.
I vote for this one!
As long as you're not a skater counting jumps you should be fine.
Re: world team selection. I think one of the US ladies will have to do qualifying at worlds? That means that lady needs to be a relatively good lp skater this season. If I were judging nationals I'd keep the top short program skaters relatively close together and let the long program be more of a deciding factor. (In the past, the top short program skaters sometimes have too much of a lead going into the long)
Wasn't the QR axed this season? Isn't that the reason behind the whole deal of qualifying scores for worlds?
Oh, that's right. I was remembering the discussion last worlds but not the rule changes
I can think of a few skaters who're in my boat.
Before the start of the competition at NHK Trophy, Mirai Nagasu visited a school in Sendai (with Akiko Suzuki and Daisuke Murakami): http://instagram.com/p/SWI9o7i5Xa/
Yeah for breaking 60 points!
Wow. Just watched the vids on Youtube for NHK ladies: More than anything else, I'm very happy not just for Mirai's score, but the fact that she fought like hell for the landing on the 2d 3toe (she was twisted around) ! She seems to have more desire in her this season than any other season in recent memory.
Agnes would've been in the thick of it had she completed the 3t-3t. But, I also like the way that Agnes is better able to present a program nowadays.
Finally! Mirai breaks 60. She fought for the landing on the second triple but I love that she's fighting and going for those 3/3 combos in the SP! Here's crossing fingers she nails her jumps (and no UR's please!) in the LP. Bummed for Agnes but hopefully she too will pull out a great skate in the LP.
176.68 for Mirai at NHK! Jumps to second best score this season for US internationally this season.
Im not a fan of Mirai, but she deserved 2nd at NHK and Mao should have been 3rd ( maybe even fourth )
So Ashley Wagner enters the GPF as the top qualifier here's hoping that she continues to kick butt in Sochi!
On another note, Christina Gao & Mirai Nagasu are 1st and 2nd alternates respectively.
Home county inflation was definitely evident. Mirai was never going to have a hope to come higher than 3rd here realistically even if Suzuki and Mao had alot of problems.
Well Mirai still skated much better than CoC. Her jumps looked bigger and the rotation was pretty full on the lutzes and flips. What worries me though is that she consistently has underrotated her loops in every competition she's been in this year and the loop is normally a very solid jump for her. Congrats to Mirai on a bronze!
Go Mirai, I knew she had it in her. She seems so happy and relaxed this season, maybe this coaching move was a good thing. Frank is a great coach, but I think part of her problem was not having Evan to train with on a regular basis. From what I read he was a great motivator for her. Seems like things went downhill after the Olympics. I am sure the long ride didn't help. I hope she can keep this up.
Nationals is going to be interesting. That second spot is so crucial in the US getting 3 spots in Sochi. Gosh our girls are so inconsistent...I love Agnes but I'm almost hoping she doesn't make the world team. Can you imagine her skating a fabulous short only to fall apart in the long. I honestly don't care who goes as long as they are consistent. Gao is proving most consistent besides Ashley.
...or botching up the short like she did at NHK and winding up 10th and 20 pts behind the leader(s)...still, I'd choose her over Czisny at this point
No pair is a sure bet but at this point a healthy Wagner MUST be one of those two spots for us to have any shot at all. Gold MIGHT be the best choice at this point for spot 2, but even she is having some consistency issues particularly in the FS. A little unsettling how she handled SC, makes me wonder how she'll deal with the (much!) bigger spotlight of Worlds.
Then you've got Gao who seems to be on the upswing- still working out consistency issues, though...and Nagasu seems to be doing better than she has in quite some time (although never forget her meltdown in Torino...).
Among the 4 of them I'd probably say Gold 1st (solid score at COR even with mistakes), Nagasu 2nd (previous world experience gives her edge over Gao), Gao 3rd, Zawadzki 4th.
Gao has been the most consistent but she still doesnt seem to have the scoring potential to bring in big scores. Gold I am not certain about at this point. If Nagasu can build on NHK she might be the best choice for the 2nd spot. Hard to say though, could be any of those 3 really. Of course Zawadzki could get it if she skates well at Nationals, but I dont trust her at this point (and not sure I want her to skate well at Nationals and get it since even if she does I dont trust her at this point). Forget Czisny, she doesnt stand a chance this year, even if she skates great at Nationals by some miracle no way the U.S judges will put her on the team with this being the year to qualify spots for the Olympics. Maybe if she comes back strong next year and the U.S has 3 spots she can be in the fight.
Wagner will most likely earn her win at Nationals but even if she makes mistakes and someone else skates lights out be certain the U.S judges will place her 1st. There is no way they are not sending her to Worlds as National Champion this year, and rightly so given her international performances of the last year. It would take landing about only 1 triple for this not to happen.
Among the 4 of them I'd probably say Gold 1st (solid score at COR even with mistakes), Nagasu 2nd (previous world experience gives her edge over Gao), Gao 3rd, Zawadzki 4th.[/QUOTE]
Completely agree with this. Gold has a long way to go in the PCS department, but the judges seem to like her. Had she skated clean I believe she could of scored 180 +. Her speed really sets her part. Thrilled to Mirai improving each outing...ahh this going to be interesting. You are right about Ash...she has to remain healthy...Can we keep her in a bubble??
The value of 3 spots is really immeasurable. It's not good for the US or for Gracie to have everything depend on her at Worlds. It would be better if she could be a 3rd member of the team, with the US not needing her to do well to get 3 spots for Sochi.
Also, it's horrible to think of Mirai and/or Christina sitting out from worlds. They're alternates to the GPF for pete's sake.
OTOH, (back to Gracie) nothing builds confidence like excelling in a trial by fire early in your career. I'm sure it wasn't fun for Michelle at worlds in '94, but look how that turned out
I'm not sold on Gao yet. I don't think she would be a good pick for the World team either considering she tends to fizzle out later in the season and has NEVER peaked at Junior Worlds.
Agnes is a no for me. She still hasn't proven she can skate two programs decently back-to-back and it's not like it's going to happen in a pressure packed Worlds.
Gracie hasn't really skated a clean LP this season, so I don't know. And she doesn't have much experience either and has nerve issues. Maybe Mirai is the best bet.
Remember, if Wagner can at least get on the podium, all her teammate has to do is remain in the top 10. I can think of two right now that can probably do that even with imperfect showings: Nagasu and Gold.
I think they should just give it to whoever skates best at Nationals. No U.S lady this year should go into Nationals with any clear advantage except Wagner who deserves to be protected even if she somehow has a bad event there.
True. Gao would need to skate near perfect to be top 10 but with her consistency this year might even be likely to do that, and as unlikely not to as Nagasu or Gold are unlikely to completely bomb (which could take either out of the top 10 easily).
A very successful GP series for the U.S. women! The most ladies GP medals out of any country this season, I believe:
Wagner (2 golds)
Gao (1 silver)
Gold (1 silver)
Nagasu (1 bronze)
Zawadzki (1 bronze)
And that's a wrap from the GP series! Congrats to Mirai on her bronze medal at NHK and a huge new SB score, and for Ashley as the top qualifier to the GP Final! Christina & Mirai are the 1st and 2nd alternates to the GPF, respectively.

For me, US Nationals will be one of the most exciting national competitions in quite some time: Wagner is at the top of her game and the leading world scorer thus far. BTW, it will be interesting to see what Yu Na does score-wise in December at the NRW competition.
On top of that, I think we will see an extremely tight competition for 2nd: And any of Nagasu, Gold, Gao and Zawadzki could be that person.
I would rank Nagasu and Gold as leading the race for #2 right now - Nagasu has the PCS, 2nd highest score thus far coupled with previous experience. She also has a hunger I have rarely seen in her. However, Gold has the biggest scoring potential and the love of the USFSA. Nagasu really needs to clean up the UR's and Gracie needs to show she's not overwhelmed by having the status of a top Senior lady. Whoever conquers their biggest obstacle will undoubtedly be #2.
Gao is the sleeper. She has had a couple of mediocre skates in the past, but seems to have found her place in Massachusetts. It's helped her focus and finally puts her in the thick of things after being in 5th place the last couple of years. She is incredibly consistent now. However, her lack of experience in big Senior competitions after 2 years of trying might put her behind Nagasu and Gold in the minds of the USFSA. Also, I think a 3-3 at least in the SP (if not in the LP, too) would really help her cause. If she hits at least one 3-3 and there are any mistakes by Nagasu and Gold, she could be #2.
IMO, Zawadzki is behind all of the above. While she rocks the SP (and I wouldn't be surprised to see her leading at nationals after the SP), she blows the LP. Now, it's a step up for her that as of this season, with the exception of the Japan Open, she has graduated from melting down in the LP to just being hot and cold. I know that's not a ringing endorsement but at least she's a real contender. Still, I think all of Nagasu, Gold and Gao are ahead of her in the minds of the USFSA. She really needs to rock an LP to show everyone that she could be #2.
I really don't know about Czisny. We have obviously seen nothing from her. She doesn't strike me as someone that can debut at Nationals and psychologically deal with a tense competition filled with resurgent US ladies. She missed the deadline to compete at Golden Spin in Zagreb to test drive her programs, so I really hope she can get to a competition and make it work by January. It's her only hope. Still, I hope to see her at Nationals skating competently. She will only add to the mix and drama.
Also not being discussed is Zhang. After '12 Nationals and 4CC's, I thought she was on the road to somewhere. Last year, we were talking about how Zhang and Nagasu as peers started out together in the Jr. ranks, and that Nagasu lost her groove while Zhang got hers back. Less than one season later, the roles are reversed (again)! Does anyone think she'll come back by Nationals? I hope she's not injured or something!
I also don't see any US Junior ladies being a menace at Senior nationals (Miller, Wang, Keiser, Cesario). There are a decent no. of US Senior ladies getting the job done that the Junior gals will be held back a little on PCS. I really want to see Cesario finally debut as a contender at Nationals. I want her to catch a break on the injury front!
But, maybe none of the above will matter, because Flatt could come back and kick everyone's a$$

These simple 10 steps will help you lose up to 5 pounds in 15 days, but it is according to each and every individual's weight and how many pounds they can lose in that amount of time. So, do not think this will work for all people. It will only work, if you safely follow the procedures for your weight lose to work. This 10 proven steps to lose weight may not work for everyone, because everyone's body is different. The outcome varies for each and every individual.
Many people always ponder on their earlier days as a youth, but fail to realize that age is just another number and they could very well look the way the did when they were younger, only if they work at it. Many men and women think that saying, 'age is just another number', is a myth, but it is true. You are as young as you feel. When Jamie Lee Curtis was on the Oprah Winfrey show, Oprah asked her, "how do you stay so young looking?", she then answered, "oh I feel young and I believe, age is just another number." She was right, each year when you have a birthday, it is a blessed year and only a higher number; therefore, if you live your life based on your age, you will most likely feel and look it. You must make a decision to live your life based on what and how you feel about yourself and just be grateful you are alive. Believe or not, there was actually a time when it was popular to be older, then centuries later, it changed, it became popular to be young. The question is, do you feel like you have to live your life based on popularity? If so, then it would be impossible for you to learn how to keep your body fit and to remain young, because your thoughts are responsible for the way you feel about yourself. When you control your mindset, regardless of how the way the rest of our society views age, then you can train your body to remain fit and young. Because the majority of people within our society are guilty of "Ageism (hatred and prejudice against older people)", then this why there are a lot of people dying early. For centuries, the thoughts of mankind have changed and disrespected older generations so much, people fear growing old. The fear of growing old comes from how we treat ourselves. For example, on the released tapes revealing Michael Jackson's in depth secrets, he told his friend, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach he thought is was ugly to get old and he was afraid of aging. Michael Jackson allowed his thoughts to rule how he felt about himself. It may have been because of majority society's ageism or it may have just been what he thought about age, either way, Michael had the power to control his thoughts. One important thing to remember about growing old, the beauty in getting older is how we conquer negative thoughts and one of those thoughts is the fear of growing old. Most likely, Michael Jackson would have been here, if he had chose to beautifully grow old and thought of it as beautiful and not ugly. It is spiritually offensive to judge our years as ugly and when you do, naturally it will affect your body. I do not care how much you exercise, eat right or take vitamins, you must choose positive thoughts about yourself as you grow older, gracefully.

At 71, Gillian Whitehead is one of our most distinguished composers. Yet one is struck by the humility of the woman; "You don't have to mention that," she laughs, when I bring up the damehood conferred on her in the 2008 Queen's Birthday Honours.
Home is rural Harwood, a half-hour drive from central Dunedin, in a house once featured in a painting by Robin White. Last year, photographer Gareth Watkins searched the composer out, to catch her in one of the landscapes that has informed so much of her music.
"It was an overcast day with just the right light so we did most of the shooting outside," she explains. "I was standing in the middle of the road and people walked around me looking slightly askance. There's not much round here but the landscape."
Harwood has played its part in inspiring her new work, no stars not even clouds, that nestles among music by Haydn, Debussy and Shostakovich when the Enso String Quartet visits us Monday week.
"When I started writing no stars not even clouds, there was a particular rhythmic and melodic shape that I didn't realise was what the bellbirds had been singing outside all the time. The bellbird has got into an awful lot of my music," she laughs. "Often without my realising it."
The new piece is not all birdsong. When the viola breaks out with a mellow solo it's "just what I wanted to write," she smiles. "For an instrument that can lament rather well."
The cellist of the New York-based group is New Zealander, Richard Belcher. He has the last of a number of expressive solos, which allows him the sort of liberties not found in Haydn or Debussy.
Whitehead likes to give players "material that they can interpret more freely", a far cry from her highly structured scores of the 1960s and 70s. She dates her change of tactic to her struggles with cancer in the early 90s.
"I'd been filtering my music through complex, prefabricated structures," she explains. "Then, writing The Journey of Matuku Moana, I found myself stretching those structures and almost destroying them. I never went back."
Whitehead is naturally reticent, although her care and kindness towards fellow composers is legendary. However, when we talk of the Maori taonga puoro, played so evocatively by Horomona Horo in duet with flautist Luca Manghi in her Hineraukatauri on Manghi's new Atoll album Quays, you can feel a new enthusiasm.
"The issue of being a Maori composer has been far more important to me than being a woman composer," she says. "Everyone was going on about women composers and I couldn't quite see why it was an issue. The pull of the other was so much more important."
Whitehead's Maori-influenced music can be heard on the New Zealand String Quartet's 2008 album Puhake ki te rangi, with its fascinating accompanying DVD, as well as in her 1998 opera, Outrageous Fortune, in which Deborah Wai Kapohe's soul-searching lament almost achieves a fusion of waiata and Puccini.
For now, though, she is looking forward to hearing the new Enso commission when the quartet premieres it in Christchurch next week. "Until I've heard a piece played I don't know it," she confesses. "It's as if something in black and white becomes colour and three-dimensional. And then I need to hear it a second time to relearn it in sound."

I guess Im rooting a little bit for the Saints as the underdog partly just because when I think of whats happened in New Orleans over the last several years and how much that team means to them. You know, Im pretty sympathetic.
What is crazy is that NY and NJ is still in the middle of a crisis and the media is already turning on us about how Eli is not elite. Its like "hey some REAL things" happen in NY sometimes and we keep on trucking!
But we go on a 2 , count them 2 game losing streak and people are already crowing dallas. Eli's is not elite. Bla Bla.
My wife askes me the funniest thing... "Is two games even a streak?"
I thought to myself "You know what. Not really"
But if this was the damn super dome we would have to be reminded all the time that it flooded once.
Anyway NY is going to rip GB and get back on track.

Oh my: New Zogby poll shows Obama's approval at … 42%
posted at 8:31 pm on August 31, 2009 by Allahpundit
It's not quite as bad as it looks, but it's plenty bad. Since last month, he's down 13 points among Democrats, nine points among liberals, and 18 points among voters 18 to 29.
No public option, no peace?
Pollster John Zogby: President Obama is now firmly between a rock and a hard place. Democrats want a strong healthcare reform bill with a public option. Republicans and more conservative Democrats do not agree. If Obama fails to get a bill that his base supporters want, the entire Democratic Party risks alienating them; especially 18-29-year-old First Globals, who could very quickly become disenchanted with politics. Obama needs to enter the fray in a very public way, which may mean knocking heads with both wings of his own party.
He's actually up slightly among likely voters in the last 10 days — coincidentally, while he's been on vacation and off the television screen — but it's the monthly trend that's an eye-popper. Doesn't this foretell a shift left, to win back Democrats, when he finally returns to D.C.? He's already lost any little amount of trust conservatives and right-leaning independents might ever have had in him; just too much government, too soon, and no compromise "health-care co-op" is going to change that. All it'll do is leave the left feeling they can't trust him either, which means no money or organization next year and no one except wary centrists even somewhat pleased with health care. The smartest available move, it seems increasingly to me, is to push for a public option, make the left happy, and then throw the full weight of your propaganda machine into convincing centrists before the midterms that government health care is a genius idea. Sure, it'll mean sacrificing a few Blue Dog seats to the GOP next year, but it looks like that's a fait accompli anyway. And even if Republicans take back the House, they won't have a veto-proof majority (or even control of the Senate) that they'd need to repeal ObamaCare, so the deed will be done. If you're Barry O, you might as well get what you want, keep part of the public excited about you, and take your chances.

If you don't understand how bongs work then don't try to use them in your jokes
If you don't understand how jokes work then don't try to use them
A technologically mature "posthuman" civilization would have enormous computing power. Based on this empirical fact, the simulation argument shows that at least one of the following propositions is true: (1) The fraction of human-level civilizations that reach a posthuman stage is very close to zero; (2) The fraction of posthuman civilizations that are interested in running ancestor-simulations is very close to zero; (3) The fraction of all people with our kind of experiences that are living in a simulation is very close to one.
If (1) is true, then we will almost certainly go extinct before reaching posthumanity. If (2) is true, then there must be a strong convergence among the courses of advanced civilizations so that virtually none contains any relatively wealthy individuals who desire to run ancestor-simulations and are free to do so. If (3) is true, then we almost certainly live in a simulation. In the dark forest of our current ignorance, it seems sensible to apportion one's credence roughly evenly between (1), (2), and (3).
Unless we are now living in a simulation, our descendants will almost certainly never run an ancestor-simulation.
We're living in a simulation
So get out there n enjoy ur fake Friday earning fake dollars so that u can pay our fake government more money for fake programs that cost too much
Mind = blown
It is serious business for sure, billions to be made from developing artificial universes
It is serious business for sure, billions to be made from developing artificial universes
So basically "posthuman" civilizations either don't exist, don't run simulations, or they do and we are already in a simulation? How is 4, "we are the IRL humans that will become the copper tops in the Matrix but that hasn't happened yet" not an option?
Many works of science fiction as well as some forecasts by serious technologists and futurologists predict that enormous amounts of computing power will be available in the future. Let us suppose for a moment that these predictions are correct. One thing that later generations might do with their super-powerful computers is run detailed simulations of their forebears or of people like their forebears. Because their computers would be so powerful, they could run a great many such simulations. Suppose that these simulated people are conscious (as they would be if the simulations were sufficiently fine-grained and if a certain quite widely accepted position in the philosophy of mind is correct). Then it could be the case that the vast majority of minds like ours do not belong to the original race but rather to people simulated by the advanced descendants of an original race. It is then possible to argue that, if this were the case, we would be rational to think that we are likely among the simulated minds rather than among the original biological ones. Therefore, if we don't think that we are currently living in a computer simulation, we are not entitled to believe that we will have descendants who will run lots of such simulations of their forebears.

Herzlich was so bad last year, it is hard to imagine that he could have improved enough to be an NFL quality starter.
I just hope he is the frontrunner because of what he has shown, not because none of the other candidates are just as bad or worse than he was last year. I really do hope he becomes the feel-good story we thought he might be when he became a Giant.

Caption should read "herzlich starting MLB by default "
Being the only returning MLB on the roster it shouldn't come as a huge surprsie that he plays with the first team in OTA. Curry and Conner are just begining to pick uo the defense. Once they do, Herz will probably drop back to second or third team. This is a feel good story about nothing. If he starts in the third or fourth pre-season game, then maybe it's something to take note of.
I'd take Rivers, Curry, Connors over Herz! Unless he has an epiphany, I'd pass!
hey, def. fair bear.
but i still am holding out hope that these guys become the players envisioned when drafted/in college.
and Herz, imo, while he obviously struggled, he did have some plays where he flashed some nice skill/talent. i go back to the GB or Philly game @ home irrc, Herz blew up the LOS on a blitz, got into the backfield immediately and forced a quick throw. the pass was completed iirc, but i still noticed the athleticism Herz had. he hurdled the LOS and was in the backfield before the QB finished his drop back.
I also remember a few plays where Herz dropped off into coverage and showed some instincts.
im ultimately saying that he's shown me enough flashes to hold out hope he puts it all together.
That just shows you haw bad our MLB situation really is. This kid may have been a great MLB before cancer. But he is terrible now. He looked terrible last year. Im just not sold. Blackburn can still start over him if we had him

You shouldn't need all three interaction terms, since X1*X2 and X1*X3
ought to encompass X2*X3, so you could start by creating just two of
the three interaction terms and see if that's quicker.

Yes you can, but you could do all of that in one by using Ben Jann's
-center- command, downloadable from SSC. Do note, however, that
de-meaning your variables will purge some of their variation, and
consequently your models will explain less. However, if you have
singleton dummies that drop out of your model and you wished to
include them, you might not have a lot of choice.

Hi Morten,
Thank you for your response. Let me clarify my situation. The ratings
are interval-like. The data file is in the following format: columns
(raters, n = 94) and rows (variables, n = 49). The raters gave
responses that ranged from 1 to 9 on the variables. I am looking for
something similar to the ICC (model: two-way mixed, alpha; type:
consistency) available in SPSS. I hope this helps.

PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE–United States-2002
Have you ever been in love? Have you ever felt what it's like to have love truly wrap its arms around you and squeeze the life out of you? I'm here to tell you that I have been in love. I am here to tell you that I am indeed in love. I am in love with the greatest woman on the planet. She is my lover, she is my confidant, she is my muse, my inspiration and she is my all-time greatest friend. Above all these things she is my wife. That last thing alone is the hardest job on the planet. I am by no means an easy man to love. I am temperamental, I am angry and at times I am a complete and utter with a capital 'A' asshole. But before I met my wife I was a lonely man. I would go to the movies and I would see all these people holding hands and looking into each other's eyes and I would be so damned jealous. I wanted that so badly but there was that one thing that held me back and that one thing was me. I allowed myself to believe that there was no way anyone would love me. There was no way anyone would want to be with me. Me? I'm too fucking weird to be loved. I'm too fucking angry to be loved. Who in their right mind would want to love a guy like me? The answer is very simple. My wife, that's who.
I love Punch-Drunk Love for one very simple reason; I can identify one hundred per cent with the character of Barry Egan. Barry is an emotional wreck of a man who is letting everyone hold him back from the one thing that he has always wanted but has never had: true love. But then one day Barry meets Lena and all bets are off. Nothing is going to stop Barry Egan from finding love. Not family, not work, not phone sex, nothing. I love this movie undeniably and unconditionally. I believe it is one of the greatest love stories ever filmed and I believe it is inarguably the best performance of Adam Sandler's career. Punch-Drunk Love is not a conventional love story by any means. It is a love story that only Paul Thomas Anderson could tell and he tells it with a style that is one hundred per cent his own.
So, on this most romantic of all days I want you to take your lover by the hand and I want you to look deep into their eyes and I want you to say 'That's very food.'
From all of me here at Written in Blood, Happy Valentine's Day.
The film was inspired by an article in 'Time' magazine about David Phillips, a University of California civil engineer who stumbled upon a lucrative frequent-flyer promotion. By purchasing 12,150 cups of Healthy Choice pudding for just $3,000, he accumulated 1.25 million air-miles.
During the scene where Barry is at the supermarket looking for the cheapest Healthy Choice food item, he is being followed by an out-of-focus character in a red outfit. It'sEmily Watson's character, before they've been introduced.
When Barry says, "That's very food," it was actually just a typo that the director decided to keep.
