American PieDirector: Paul Weitz
It's said that most American men think about sex once every two or three minutes, but this statistic would seriously underestimate the horniness of Jim (Jason Biggs), a high school senior in suburban Michigan. Jim is thoroughly obsessed with sex, a fact of which his parents become aware when they discover him performing the sin of Onan with a gym sock while watching scrambled pay-per-view porn. Jim's buddies Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas), Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas), and Oz (Chris Klein) are no less anxious to relieve themselves of their virginity, so they all make a pledge: they will go to bed with a woman in the three weeks before senior prom or die trying. Kevin appears to have the advantage, since he already has a girlfriend, Vicky (Tara Reid), but before he ventures into the Final Frontier, Kevin is urged to consult "The Bible," a hand-written how-to manual possessing erotic wisdom passed down through the ages. Oz is a good-looking jock who is actually a nice guy -- which is part of the problem, since he has his heart set on a nice girl, Heather (Mena Suvari), who does not seem the type to leap into bed within 21 days. Finch has no immediate prospects, though Jessica (Natasha Lyonne) is in a position to know if those rumors about him are true. And Jim is a truly hopeless case -- after his attempted seduction of beautiful Czech exchange student Nadia (Shannon Elizabeth) turns out to be a disaster, he ends up going to the prom with Michelle (Alyson Hannigan), an annoyingly chatty band geek who does, however, have a fascinating story about a flute. American Pie was the directorial debut of Paul Weitz, who, along with his brother Chris Weitz (who served as producer), previously wrote several screenplays, including Antz and Madeline (where they presumably worked all their wholesome ideas out of their system).

Shannon Elabeths breasts were so nice
the reason i love this movie is cause Sean Willam Scott as Sifler if it wasn't for him then the movie would not be cool but its funny and cool cause of Sean god bless you Sean Scott i love you a true fan Megan luminais ps by the way are you single? LoL just wondering
I think Mr. Neff is right. He is always right. We need higher standards of decency and we dont need to be thinking about sex al the time.
American pie is one of those movies that you just love its funny Stifler is also funny i really have to say that this movie deserves two thumps up and five stars!!!!!
This film is a classic american comedy. Full of sex laughs and nudity. Its amazing to watch the original American Pie movie and then watch how te wholo series of films expands and such. A great movie and a must buy.
I love this movie! It's one of my favorite comedy films of all time. It has plenty of gross-out humor. It's definately not for anyone under the age of eighteen.
This Is Such A Great Movie! Everyone Should See It!
this is my favorite movie. when i first saw it i would watch it weekly just because it was so tight. it is the greatest teen movie ever made. more of a guy flick, not reallly a girl flick, but all u guys will love it! its packed with so many funny scenes and a great storyline. speaking of it is one of the only funny movie with an actual storyline
Mr. Shuler's characterization of himself as a middle-aged adolescent is most apt. His tastes lean toward the perverse. As a clergyman, I find the idea of pretended copulation with an inanimate object singularly revolting, atavistically narcisstic and -- in plain English -- downright IMMORAL. I support James Dobson and Jerry Falwell in their admirable efforts to clean up this great land of ours.

When Toney McNair first got into the field of education, his lone goal was to be a great teacher.
On Monday night, the state Department of Education gave McNair a stamp of approval. The department named McNair, who teaches choral music at Indian River Middle School, its Virginia Teacher of the Year.
McNair beat out seven other finalists from around the commonwealth. After receiving the honor at a ceremony in Richmond, he turned his thoughts to his students. He said the award is an example of what can happen if you set goals and work hard.
"I'm on top of the world," McNair said by phone. "Totally surprised and humbled all at the same time."
A committee interviewed each of the finalists Monday before making its selection. The committee included representatives of professional and educational associations, the business community and the 2016 state winner, Natalie DiFusco-Funk of Salem.
James Roberts, Chesapeake's schools superintendent, said McNair always brings a positive energy that is clear to both students and colleagues.
"Toney is the ultimate professional," Roberts said Monday night after a Chesapeake School Board meeting. "He cares about his kids."
Jeff Bunn, the School Board chairman, also pointed to McNair's "dynamic" energy.
"Every day he walks in that classroom, he makes a difference," Bunn said.
McNair received his bachelor's degree from Norfolk State University, and his master's and doctorate from Virginia Union University. He has taught for about 17 years, including 11 at Indian River Middle. Among his achievements are a $10,000 grant to obtain a baby grand piano for the school, and a $1,250 grant for Young Dreamers, an all-male mentoring group he co-sponsors.
McNair also serves as a department chairman and president of the Chesapeake Education Association.
McNair said he forges relationships with students early, and tries to be transparent with them. He also tries to serve as a role model.
The statewide honor puts McNair in the running for a national award that is to be announced in spring.
Two previous Virginia teachers — B. Philip Bigler in 1998 and Mary Bicouvaris in 1989 — went on win the national award.
"It's quite an honor to represent all of the Commonwealth of Virginia," McNair said.

Pleasant surprises or unexpected twirls? What lies ahead for Team New Zealand in CWC 2015?
Share on :
New ZealandRanked sixth in the ICC ODI top teams, the co-hosts of the 2015 Cricket World Cup, New Zealand have never won the premier tournament even once. Though they have been a part of the World Cup teams since the beginning, the Kiwis, as they are nicknamed, have never even featured in the finals, although they have made it to the semifinals on six occasions – 1975, 1979, 1992, 1999, 2007 and 2011. Skippered by the batting sensation Brendon McCullum, New Zealand boast of a strong batting line-up which, apart from the captain himself, includes Martin Guptill, Ross Taylor and Kane Williamson. Overall, the Kiwis are a very balanced side – they have batsmen who can dig deep or hit hurricane 36-ball hundreds, agile fielders who can pluck the ball out of thin air, and bowlers who can both swing and spin the ball. The Kiwis have also included two all-rounders in Corey Anderson and Grant Elliot. The spin department will be manned by the veteran Daniel Vettori and Nathan McCullum.
Pool A
Ganesha, with the help of Vedic astrology, finds out whether they can make the best of the home advantage this time and emerge victorious.
Astrological Reading
The biggest, quadrennial Cricket gala will begin with the transiting Moon in Scorpio Sign and in Jyestha Nakshatra, which shall be favourable for the team New Zealand. Also, the transiting Sun, first through the Zodiac Sign Aquarius and later through Pisces may boost New Zealand's chances in the race to the CWC glory. In terms of long-term planetary alliances, the ongoing transit of Rahu through practical Virgo too shall favour the Kiwis. However, currently in effect retrograde movement of Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn turning retrograde from 15th March 2015 may act unfavourably for New Zealand team, foresees Ganesha.
Stars Speak for CWC
Basis the said planetary configurations, Ganesha notes that New Zealand's performance in the Group matches will remain very impressive. The Kiwis will reach the Quarter-finals – without much of a problem. The period during Quarter-finals too will be favourable for the Kiwis. So, Ganesha sees a potent likelihood of them making it to the Semi-finals. However, the team West Indies can be a real threat for them. The Final match day too will remain adverse for New Zealand team.
Ganesha's Verdict (for CWC)
As per Ganesha's analysis, team New Zealand shall have strong chances to reach the Semi-finals. Also, New Zealand Team is very likely to be a "Dark Horse" in the race to the Finals. However, their chances of becoming the World Champions 2015 are feeble.
With Ganesha's Grace,
Tanmay K.Thakar

Core tube is about 27" - 28"
I have a Valuejet 628. If you have one then you know the back media roll bar will only accept up to 24". This roll of digimag is 24" but the inner core tube is about 27" maybe 28". Which means you need a hack saw to cut off the excess tube to make it fit into the printer. Don't forget to lift your print head height adjustment lever. It also took a while for the ink to fully dry. Assuming I have no production issues or customer have no issues then I will continue to buy it unless I find someone with the 30mil

Most small business marketing is still missing the boat when it comes to making profits with social media. That's because most of the advice those businesses are getting isn't even good enough to use as fertilizer.
In this week's episode, we look at specific examples of how the media and cow-pattie-gurus are making the matter worse.
Then we move right into proven, tested methods for using social media profitably. I also give you a resource you can explore to get help with social media if you want it. They charge a fee, of course, and they'll be worth every penny.
Come back here Wednesday for the article titled "Social Media Success Formula."
Because it's the holiday season, we wrap up the show with some practical advice for keeping yourself safe in social media and on the internet.
Thank you for listening, and for reading. Be sure to tell me what you like about this week's show, and especially if there's something you didn't like. Leave a comment by clicking on the article title. That takes you to the page where comments can be posted.

This TA will support the Asian Development Bank's (ADB) e-Government projects under public sector programs in select DMCs. It will focus on specific e-Government projects that are either at the design or implementation stage, and will develop e-Government toolkits specific to the use of a Tax Administration Management Information System (TAMIS) and a Social Security Administration Information System (SSAIS). The TA will also benefit other DMCs through the various knowledge products that will be developed.
ADB will be the executing agency of the TA and will be responsible for the overall management and monitoring of activities. The implementing agencies for the respective country components will be the Ministry of Finance and Planning in Sri Lanka, the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection in Tajikistan, and the VSS in Viet Nam. ADB will closely collaborate with the government agencies of the Republic of Korea and will make a formal agreement for their in-kind contributions.
Latest Project Documents
Project Data Sheets (PDS) contain summary information on the project or program. Because the PDS is a work in progress, some information may not be included in its initial version but will be added as it becomes available. Information about proposed projects is tentative and indicative.
The Public Communications Policy (PCP) recognizes that transparency and accountability are essential to development effectiveness. It establishes the disclosure requirements for documents and information ADB produces or requires to be produced.
The Accountability Mechanism provides a forum where people adversely affected by ADB-assisted projects can voice and seek solutions to their problems and report alleged noncompliance of ADB's operational policies and procedures.
In preparing any country program or strategy, financing any project, or by making any designation of, or reference to, a particular territory or geographic area in this document, the Asian Development Bank does not intend to make any judgments as to the legal or other status of any territory or area.

The 30-year-old star - who is currently pregnant with her first child - had her request to dismiss the lawsuit by company Gate Five dismissed by Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Charles Ramos, which claims she walked away from a deal to create motion-sensor dance video game 'Starpower: Beyonce'.
Gate Five claim her abrupt leaving of the project meant they lost an initial $7 million investment, causing them to miss out on $100 million worth of profits and casing 70 people to be made redundant a week before Christmas 2010.
However, the 'Love on Top' hitmaker's lawyers claimed she had the right to pull out after the company was unable to fulfil contractual obligations to obtain $5 million.
Judge Ramos made the decision to reject Beyonce's team's request without any explanation, meaning she is liable for a deposition.
Gate Five is seeking damages for the cost of the project and are hoping to get an injunction which would mean she is unable to work on any future computer games.Reuse content

Non-call du jour: Disconcerting signals?

Apparently there is an epidemic of disconcerting signals that is breaking out. It is illegal for a defensive player to simulate or override the quarterback's snap count. Rarely is the disconcerting signals penalty called (one instance from 2010 against the Colts [video] is all we can recall), but when it is, it is a 15-yard…

Cindy: Sludge
I can't stop the laugh of delight that bubbles through my lips as we begin swimming with the dolphins. The high pitched squeals of the excited creatures mingling with our own squeals of laughter. After a while, we calm down, stopping the laughing fit. The female dolphin, the one beside me, nudges my elbow before swimming of the the side, the male, who was swimming gracefully around Fern, who is looking less than amused, and Aya, who is sporting a large smile, follows his mate. Should we follow them? I ask as the dolphins look back a us. Yes. They want to show us something. Aya tells us, swimming over to the dolphins. I look to the others. Fern, Denver and Owen quickly follow Aya. Marina rolls her eyes at me before following them. Catching up with them, I swim along side Denver, ignoring Marinas sceptical look. After swimming roughly two miles, the sea begins to turn foggy around us. An unusual feeling of nausea creeps over me, it must of came over the others too, as one, we all slow down, looking at each other with concern. Is that... I begin to ask but am interrupted by the two dolphins coming back for us. I think it's some kind of pollution. Owen tells us, confirming my suspicions. Pollution? Who would want to pollute the sea? They would be killing hundreds of species! Aya asks us, outrage showing clearly on her face. Aya, some humans... The don't appreciate the value of the sea Marina tells her, completely surprising me, I had expected her to defend the humans. Before I could ask her about it, the dolphins start squeaking at us, clearly getting impatient. Let's go see what they want to show us and see which Human is in deep trouble right now. Denver says, also showing anger. In silent agreement, we all head off to follow the dolphins. The water turns muggy and dank, the oxygen quickly running out. Not long after the dolphins turned and fled, we find the source of the pollution, getting sicker by the minute but, having completed our task, we fall back and take deep breathes of clear, unpolluted water. We need to stop it! They are killing Zeus knows how many innocent creatures! Owen exclaims after we catch our breaths. I know we do. But how can we? We can't breathe with that amount of pollution! Fern rationalises. I could. I say quietly, half hoping they don't hear me. How? Aya asks, looking at me. Well... I could ask air to make a bubble around me and let me breathe. I tell them. That could work! Owen and Fern say together. Gold fish bowl! Denver shouts gleefully, causing the rest of us to laugh. Ok. I will be back as soon as I can. I tell them, turning my back on them and hesitantly pushing myself towards the mist. Taking as deep a breath as I can, I silently ask for air to create a bubble around my head, unable to stop myself from imagining a goldfish bowl. With pure air filling my lungs, I am able to swim straight up to the source of the spillage and push my head above the water. A large, metal tube is sticking out the side of the sand, releasing a sludgy black fluid, causing the water around to become black and horrible. Getting a grip on the edge of the tube, somehow fighting the force of the sludge. Again, turning to the airs help, I ask it to send up a big gust of wind, forcing the sludge back up the tube. Slowly, the flow of the sludge stops. Leaving a trickle falling into the sea below. Thank you for your help I think to the air before allowing exhaustion to take over me. My body spent from holding onto the tube, over the flow of the sludge, the fumes entering my lungs despite the goldfish bowl on my head, my eyes flicker shut as my body plunges back into the sludgy sea.

Species 10: Ahhhhh-Pandas
Historically indigenous to the Bliss-Marshes of beautiful blue-green Neptuna-Theta, the Ahhhhh-Panda must rate amongst my (and anyone else's, probably) very favourite species of all time!
Quite simply, they are so heart-breakingly cute it is nigh-on impossible not to fall in love with them instantly, forgetting all woes and ailments in a nanosecond. Be you a Dingian Hyper-Hippie or a Bloodlust IV Mega-Warrior, resistance to their charms is entirely futile.
Employed by the inter-galactic peace corp as a solution to many a long running war, their effectiveness in this application was astonishing. Leading to an outbreak of almost universal hugging sometime towards the end of the third intersteller age (Frankasian timescale). I shall never forget it!
Sadly, hugging just wasn't good enough for some spoil-sports, who claimed the balance of nature was tilted too much towards the "touchy-feely" by these adorable bundles of love, hence a shameful cull enacted swiftly by the heartless Assassins of Nihil. The bloody bastards!
It has since been discovered that the secret of the Ahhhhh-Panda, besides its choochy looks, was a low-level alpha wave, emitted in their purr, which interacted with the brain-waves of all sentient beings, causing them to lose all vestiges of ancient aggression in their genetic make-up.
There are presently underground whispers that top scientists in deeply hidden laboritories are attempting to restore the species to its former glory using found samples of Ahhhhh-Panda DNA. We can only hope...
Rating: Gorgeous!
Status: Fingers Crossed!
Right thing to say should you ever meet one: Ahhhhh!!!

The Second Part of the Popular Errors
€ 51,99
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
Juli 1995
BeschreibungLaurent Joubert (1529-1582) was a prominent physician in Renaissance France. Joubert was an educator as well as a physician, and one of his primary goals was to dispel the rampant misinformation associated with health care and caregivers of his day. The Second Part of the Popular Errors was to have been devoted exclusively to the discussion of a popular health regimen in the areas of personal conduct, the maintenance of one's surroundings, dress habits, and diet. Fortunately for us, Joubert included in The Second Part many topics intended for the balance of the original plan of thirty books. Thus, though with perhaps only a suggestion of what the treatment would have been had Joubert been able to bring his project to completion, we now have in The Second Part his main ideas concerning complexion, air and clothes, appetite and thirst, along with meals and digestion, the preparation and order of food, the importance of beverages, and, surprisingly, the problematic nature of wine in the diet. Food is again addressed in a section on the proper use of food during illness, followed by the importance of sleep. The only topic not covered is the one that came to interrupt Joubert's progress in 1582: death.

Discussion in 'Off-topic Zone' started by ROMOSAPIEN9, Aug 31, 2008.
Sounds good, thanks for posting.
Sounds pretty good to me.
Maybe youd be happier if they were doing the "bye bye bye dance" or something more up to date.
Its always good to hear musicians other than being forced to listen to entertainers for the last 8 years.
They need to change their name already. They haven't been Metallica in a long time. I'd rank this in between Load/ReLoad and St. Anger, which means it's not too good.
Load/ReLoad were decent compared to most stuff, and St. Anger was flat out awful. All of it fails completely compared to old Metallica.
Metallica hasn't recorded anything worth a damn since 1988. This new stuff is much better than their other late stuff, but the damage has been done.
The other one they've released to listen to off the album:
My Apocalypse
Sounds like St. Anger uke:
I was really hoping they come out with a good one but so far it looks like St. Anger II.
They've been "meh" since 1991.
Pretty much, except for S&M.
As bands get old right or wrong, they can't win and rarely can exceed early sucess as Radio play is no longer there for them.
Which is why when they're at the top of their game, they should split up.
It's not like it once was, with bands like the Rolling Stones; if a band changes sound, they're accused of selling out. If they don't change, they're accused of being one-trick ponies.
They should go off in different directions, with different musicians and get different input. Maybe they can get back together after a few years and see what the time away and different influences can do for them.
This sounds like the realization that their experiments weren't received well, so they'd best try to recapture that old lightning. Nothing remarkable and would have been easily forgettable on Ride the Lightning or Master of Puppets.
Another song release from the new album:
Regardless of the success or failure of this album, I'll go see them again if they grace my hometown.
They were an awesome garage rock band....
Now they are just a commercial, corporate-shilling lawyered up bunch of pansies.
Surprised they haven't started naming their songs after corporate sponsors yet.
Long way from Enter the Sandman.
Lars really ruined them for me. Him and St. Anger which was almost as bad as a George Michael CD.
the album leaked guys, and i must say its BADASS, a 10 minute insturmental song! There alot of "justice" in this album, your gonna be surprised
It can't be any worse than St. Anger :laugh2:
Metallica is one of my all time favorites. I really dont like any of the new stuff. BUT I do try and keep an open mind.
I would really like if they reinvented themselves in a way that Aerosmith did. Early Aerosmith is great.... the stuff that followed was pretty good also. A little more commercial - but they found a way.
Hope Metallica does too.
If we expect their new stuff to sound like their old stuff then we will never like the NEW stuff.
I've liked all their albums except for St. Anger. I know I'm in the minority on Load/Reload.
if anyone wants it pm me, i dunno what the policy on the forum about leaked material is

Forex: USD/JPY retreats to 88.85 after hitting intra-day high at 89.15
FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - After rising around 50 pips during the European session from intra-day low at 88.65 to hit daily high at 89.15, USD/JPY has begun to fall to trade below 89.00 level, close to 88.80. Currently the pair is trading around 88.90/89.00, close to the opening price action at 89.95.
According to the FastBrokers Research Team, the USD/JPY glides lower amid weakness in U.S. equities: The USD/JPY is presently fighting to stay above our 1st uptrend line and the 89 level. Should our 1st tier give way, the currency pair still has 10/2 lows along with October lows serving as technical cushions. As for the topside, the USD/JPY faces multiple downtrend lines along with the highly psychological 90 level. Therefore, quite a few topside challenges are in place. Meanwhile, investors should continue to monitor the S&P's continual interaction with 1100 since any significant technical movements in U.S. equities could have a noticeable impact on the USD/JPY.

Magic The Gathering: Duels of the Planewalkers 2013 | Wizards of the Coast | PSN/XBLA/Steam/ | £6.99 | Released: 20/06/2012
As someone who is, unashamedly, a massive geek, I haven't really dipped my toes into many things people would consider geeky. Granted, I do spend a lot of time on the internet, and I play a lot of video games, but when it comes to things like Warhammer or trading cards, I don't know anything. Even after surviving the Pokemon card craze, I've never played it, or any other card game for that fact.
But after Samuel interviewed a representative for Magic The Gathering's latest game at E3 (you can watch the interview here); I wanted to dip my toes into it. I wanted to test the claims the interviewee made that Magic The Gathering: Duels of the Planewalkers 2013 (we'll just call it Magic 2013, okay?) will open Magic up to completely new players, providing some metaphorical training wheels to the in-depth card game.
So… how is Magic The Gathering: Duels of the Planewalkers 2013, (sorry, Magic 2013)…
Well, I can certainly say it is complicated. While many card games might be infamous for their ease of play and lack of depth (see Pokemon), Magic is overwhelmingly full of depth. When it comes to depth, it's the mega sized bag of Doritos amongst all the small bags (good metaphor, eh?). Luckily the Magic 2013 team weren't bluffing when they said they were making it accessible to beginners.
Multiple difficulty modes are available in Magic 2013, including one especially for new players, which includes a hand-holding tutorial, clearly explaining the basics of the game, slowly introducing more and more mechanics. I came into the game with literally no experience of Magic, and left with a good, confident understanding of how the card game ticks.
Of course though, I'm not going to jump into tournament play, or even the game's online mode yet. But Magic 2013 is true to it's promise to new players. Now is the best time to experience and enjoy the card game for the first time. Featuring the same beautiful hand-drawn graphics of the actual card game and some very atmospheric music, you'll be doing yourself a disservice not to check out this unique game. Especially at it's bargain, £7 price.
Obviously with such an in-depth game, my beginners experiences don't do it justice. To only play it for 5 hours is injustice, and might just put bounties on my head by Magic fans. So I'm off to play some more Magic 2013, why not play me? My PSN is KingEurope.

the little ones
Eyes filled with
watery innocence.
Minds an empty void,
only remembering pain,
They will not remember
holding your hand
that day,
or whispering to you
that perfect moment.
The little ones
who love
Without pain,
without hate,
they were born
abundant love.
Though their hearts
are small,
it is not the realistic size
that matters.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - March 20, 1996, New Braunfels, Texas 8 O Herald-Zeitung O Wednesday, March 20, 1996 ArtsEntertainment German choirs performing Can cookie-cutter exteriors make the necessary difference? There's been something stewing in my head for over two weeks now, and I've finally concluded that I need to exorcise the bothersome thoughts that keep nagging me. So pull up a chair, you good old sounding board, you, and help me make sense out of this nonsensical world. It seems there's an idea (maybe even a movement) sweeping the education field in our nation, and it finally swept right up to the White House steps. I watched in utter disbelief (a few weeks ago) when even our President gave an intense endorsement of a plan, by a national group of educators, to push for widespread use of uniforms for students in public schools! And you won't believe the reason. You ready? "To cut down on violence, to have a calming effect." Whoa!!! Shades of totalitarian regimentation! ... wherever it happened before. Remember Germany, USSR? My revulsion at this idea has nothing to do with private schools — they state up front that the uniform's required and you get to choose to send your child there or not. That's a pony of another hue. But making them mandatory in public schools is tantamount to building a world of "Let's pretend.'' That's where my headline question comes in. Are we so naive as to think that the violence perpetrated by children can be fixed from the outside? Another option While some of us seem ready (even chomping at the bit) to emulate the practice (of the cookie-cutter look) by undemocratic, mind-controlling governments of the past, it's possible that another practice might be far more effective to copy. I'm talking about ' * SndoeA alation." Does that shock you? Okay. Tell me please, what's wrong with drumming a code of ethics in dear little heads the minute they hit kindergarten? Not religion or ideology — Elizabeth Elliott just good old Golden Rule stuff! Can you imagine a nation built on the shoulders of that generation?!! I hear you. "That's the job of parents." Hello. If parents are doing their jobs, where's all the violence coming from? I know. Let's blame the TV movies, "society." That feels better... we don't have to assume responsibility. But a socalled bottom line forces us to admit that the job is not going to get done in too many homes, whatever the reason. And, lest you feel hesitant to place that burden on our teachers, let me ask this: Who has more access to our children? Who cares more about how young people turn out? And is there anything more noble to teach — or more helpful to everyone — than respecting the rights of others? And look at it this way: those who want their kids to grow up dishonest, disloyal, opportunistic, and totally insensitive to others to the point of violence, will have an equal chance at creating unsavory human beings. A wise man once said... "Fill your life with so much sweetness, there's no room left for the bad things." That's where the arts, community service, and sports come in. So take that idea, add it to the indoctrination one, and maybe we have a chance at curbing the wild, harmful results of fear and hate. It couldn't hurt to try, as much as it hurts not to. With the ABCs, let's teach the BFPs (Being a Good Person)! (Elizabeth Elliott is a guest columnist for the Herald-Zeitung, writing on the arts and humanities.) A youth choir (right) from Velbert, Germany will perform at the Seele Parish House on March 31,1996 at 7 p.m. The program of famous and well liked songs will be sung in German, English, French and Russian.

He had 5 chippers, 7 pullers and 5 dippers and a wood-chopper. All the men off to work, John McFarlin straddled his horse, got one for me and we began riding the wood. Talking about knowing his business! The foreman can ride a "drift" and with a glance tell if every "face" on every tree has been chipped.
First he rode a drift of virgin boxes. That is when a tree is first worked, it is a virgin box for three years. That is the finest rosin. The five men were chipping away. The chipper is the man who makes those little slanting cuts on pine trees so that the gum exudes, and drains down into the box. He has a very sharp cutting tool that heavily weighted in the handle and cunningly balanced so that he chips at a stroke. The company pays a cent a tree. We stopped and watched Lester Keller chip because he is hard to beat anywhere in the world. He often chips 700 or more trees a week.
A puller is a specialized chipper. He chips the trees when they have been worked too high for the chipper. He does this with a chipping axe with a long handle [known] as a puller. The foreman explained that the tree are chipped three years and pulled three years then it is abandoned. Leroy Heath is the champ puller.
He inspected a drift that was being dipped. The men who dip take the cup off the tree, scrape out the gum with the

The employee performance evaluation process is not a one-time per year formal performance evaluation meeting that revolves around a questionnaire. Yes, performance management often includes formal annual performance evaluation forms and meetings, but they are just one part of the process. Performance management needs to happen every day! It is an ongoing, year-round process and it has to involve regular, meaningful performance-related feedback.
Developing employee performance is an everyday aspect of managerial jobs. If you are a supervisor, manager, team leader or executive, taking steps to maximize the performance of your staff – on both an individual and team basis – should be a permanent focus of your daily work life.

It has been 16 months. I have considered mastopexy and/or the new 5th generation implants in tear drop form. Maybe going up two sizes. I would like to be a bit larger but my main issue is the implants riding high and giving my breasts a "snoopy nose" appearance. I feel that i need a revision. I should mention that i had a nipple reduction. My PS is recommending the new tear drop implant. A second opinion recommended staying with the current implants and getting the mastopexy.
Why Have My Breast Implants Have Never Dropped (375 Right 350 Left)?
Doctor Answers 1
Breast Implant exchange and Breast Lift is definately and option
From your photos it appears that your implants may be too high and that a revision is indicated. Sometimes, just a capsular release and implant exchange may work, other times a breast lift is indicated. If your implants are soft, you do not have a capsular contracture and it is just a high placement, if they are firm, then you need capsular work performed as well. You may do well with a small, circumareolar lift and an upsize. Not sure about using the new teardrop implants if you want to go a little bigger. They will give you a more natural look at times, but sacrifice some size.

Her floral fabrics and smocked dresses inspired a generation of women and her name became one of the world's most recognised brands. But now the legacy of Laura Ashley is under threat; her former home in Wales is shabby rather than chic and her children fear they may have to sell up unless they can find a way to preserve the building.
Rhydoldog House, near Powys, is in the centre of a 500-acre estate and her children are hoping that it can be restored and opened to the nation so that others can see the inspiration behind a global business that is still flourishing today – nearly 25 years after its founder's death.
Laura's eldest daughter, Jane, says the house and surrounding countryside clearly inspired her mother: "A lot of the rooms are still the same and you can see how her style evolved. It's a bit shabby now but that's part of its charm. I don't want to be sentimental about it, but so many people have suggested to us that it's the right thing to do and that the house is relevant, that we feel we should explore the possibilities," she said.
The house itself is a mishmash of styles, part 16th-century long-house with both Victorian gothic and neo-classical elements. Martin Wood, whose biography of Laura is due out in September (Frances Lincoln, £35), said: "The house itself is no great beauty but it has views to die for."
The setting is one thing, but it's how this design icon chose to decorate her own home that interests us, and it's not all heavy swagged curtains and floral cushions. "When she started out making tea towels at the kitchen table in her Pimlico flat, she did some quite modernistic designs and black-and-white images," says Wood.
"The morning room, also known as the print room, where she worked, is still decorated very much in that style with apricot wallpaper and lots of black-and-white pictures. It's perhaps not what people might expect."
In fact, Laura had always loved floral designs but didn't initially have the expertise to print such tiny, detailed designs. "She didn't set out to be a Victorian survivalist but she did believe that that was a time when people lived decent, straightforward lives," adds Wood. "A lot of the furniture is that rather lumpy Victorian gothic style with oil lamps and skirted tables, although her style later became more Victorian milkmaid."
Although Laura was the name on the brand, Wood says her husband, Bernard, exerted great influence over the décor. Bernard once said to Wood: "Whenever we bought a house we had a fight that lasted 24 hours and then we were fine."
The couple worked closely together on all aspects of the business and indeed it was Bernard who suggested making long dresses because they would use more material, according to Wood. That long dress became the Ashley trademark and was perfectly timed to fit in with fashion's change from the mini-skirt of the 1960s. So popular was her style that the Fulham Road branch once sold 4,000 dresses in one week. In the Eighties it was taken up by the "Sloane Rangers", chief of whom was a young Princess Diana.
Bernard died in February this year, nearly 25 years after his wife fell down the stairs on her 60th birthday, and his death has prompted their children to think about the future of Rhydoldog. "The fact that the business was built in this house over decades is what makes it special, said Jane. "There would be business meetings in the kitchen and my parents planned their international business strategy on walks around the gardens.
"If it is to be restored and opened then we need to find partnerships to help us with their expertise. But if that doesn't happen then it will to be sold to a large, happy family who will give it a new lease of life.
"The house holds such bittersweet memories for me, because the bed-room that is still intact was mine and I always expect her to be there when I go in. It was a very creative, happy time," she adds.
The National Trust has offered to work with the Ashley family to look at possible options for the future of the property.
Inside the homes of three other design stars
Barbara Hulanicki, founder of the iconic Sixties boutique Biba, turned to interior design in the 1980s and has been credited with reviving Miami Beach's art-deco area. Her own home is painted mainly in pale grey with shots of the bright pinks and oranges for which she is famous.
"I was brought up with Technicolor film and I'm mad about orange and fuschia so I'm not afraid of colour – except for green, which I never use, perhaps because my school uniform was a dull, sludge green," she says.
But she urges caution: "Too many gorgeous things in one room can spoil the effect, you need to mix the simple with the very busy for the best effect."
Sir Terence Conran, the so-called King of British interior design, has lived in a 17th-century manor in Berkshire since 1971, and, as you might expect, the interiors are simple, modern and, crucially, clutter-free.
He says that storage is key in bedrooms, which allows them to be restful, in bathrooms so they can be sanctuaries, while in the kitchen you need to be able to cook near the eating area, have plenty of comfortable chairs, lots of light and, for the lucky ones, a glowing open fire.
Cath Kidston, is the 21st-century Laura, according to Jane Ashley. Her reworking of the English country-house style, as opposed to Laura's new take on Victoriana, has seen her business expand globally.
She has 33 outlets with more planned this year, but her own house is not all flowers and pretty prints. "Despite the distinctive style for which I am known, parts of my own house are sleek and modern so I can keep it fresh," she says. "My sitting room is very fun and not at all grown up. I prefer houses that you can live in and where the dog can jump on the sofa and for it to feel relaxed and informal."

|[jira] Commented: (MAPREDUCE-1434) Dynamic add input for one job
|Thu, 11 Feb 2010 18:12:36 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1434?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12832608#action_12832608 ] Aaron Kimball commented on MAPREDUCE-1434: ------------------------------------------ Owen, The {{getNewInputSplits}} method proposed above requires the InputFormat to maintain state containing the previously-enumerated InputSplits. The proposed command-line tools suggest independent user-side processes performing the addition of files to the job, making this challenging. Given that splits are calculated on the client, but the "true" list of input splits is held by the JobTracker (or is/could the splits file be written to HDFS?), calculating just the delta might be challenging. I think it might be more reasonable if one of the following things were true: * The client code just calls {{getInputSplits()}} again. The same algorithm is run as in "initial" job submission, but the output list may be longer than the previous list returned by this method. The InputFormat is responsible for ensuring that it doesn't return any fewer splits than it did before (i.e., don't drop inputs) * For that matter, if the input queue for a job is dynamic, I don't see why this same mechanism couldn't be used to drop splits that are, for whatever reason, irrelevant. * {{getNewInputSplits()}} should have the signature: {{InputSplit [] getNewInputSplits(JobContext job, List<InputSplit> existingSplits) throws IOException, InterruptedException}}. The latter case would present to the user a list of the existing inputs read from the existing 'splits' file for the job. That way state-tracking is unnecessary; you can just use (e.g.) a PathFilter to disregard things already in {{existingSplits}}. A final proposition is that users must manually specify new paths (or other arbitrary arguments like database table names, URLs, etc) to include, in addition to the InputFormat. In which case, it might look more sane to have: * {{getNewInputSplits()}} should have the signature: {{InputSplit [] getNewInputSplits(JobContext job, String... newSplitHints) throws IOException, InterruptedException}}. The {{newSplitHints}} is effectively a user-specified argv; it can be decoded as a list of Paths, database tables, etc., and used appropriately by the InputFormat to generate new splits. Other question: What are the semantics of a doubly-specified split? (Especially curious about the inexact match case, where the same file in HDFS is enumerated twice but the splits are at different offsets) Can/should the same file be processed twice in a job? Finally: Why does a user-disconnect timeout kill the job? That's different than the usual case in MapReduce, where a user disconnect is not noticed by the server-side processes at all. I would think that after a user-disconnect timeout, that declares that all the input is added, and that the reduce phase can begin -- not that it should kill things. > Dynamic add input for one job > ----------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-1434 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1434 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: New Feature > Environment: 0.19.0 > Reporter: Xing Shi > > Always we should firstly upload the data to hdfs, then we can analize the data using hadoop mapreduce. > Sometimes, the upload process takes long time.

JobClinet: here JobClient should support add input to a job, indeed, JobClient generate the split, and submit to JobTracker. > 2. JobTracker: JobTracker support addInput, and add the new tasks to the original mapTasks. Because the uploaded data will be > processed quickly, so it also should update the scheduler to support pending a map task till Client tells the Job input done. > 3.

One of the more Machiavellian justifications for invading Iraq was the flypaper theory. Invading and occupying Iraq might turn the country into a magnet for anti-US terrorists, the argument went, but it was better to slug it out in a distant and foreign land instead of closer to home.
The so-called flypaper strategy had a certain logic and superficial appeal even if it dripped cynicism. Most Iraqis might be glad to see the back of Saddam Hussein, but they are probably none too thrilled that their country has turned into a vicious battleground between US forces and the jihadists, especially as most of the casualties are Iraqis.
Now a CIA report reveals that US intelligence officials are beginning to have doubts about the flypaper idea.
According to a report in the New York Times, a new classified assessment says Iraq may prove to be an even more effective training ground for extremists than Afghanistan was for al-Qaida, because it is serving as a real-world laboratory for urban combat.
Even more worrying, intelligence officials told the Times that Saudi Arabia, Jordan and other unnamed countries - presumably the US and the UK - would soon have to contend with militants leaving Iraq equipped with considerable experience and training.
In an age of globalisation, the flypaper theory seemed to smack of wishful thinking. Even if the US eventually prevails in Iraq, many of those who have acquired their terrorist skills in the "Iraqi lab" will have made their getaway. If so, one of the justifications for going into Iraq - that it would advance the "war on terror" - will have turned out to be an illusion.

By Roman Petuchov
Weekly. When the correctional wave [b] was complete as a normal plane wave, we saw the beginning of construction of a new ascending section [c].
Daily. The pair is starting the uptrend with the impulse (1). And this impulse is near completion.
H4. Layout wave V of (1) is shown at the picture. Currently, the market is growing within the bullish wave [5]. This week we expect growth to continue growing in this wave. The pair might renew the maximum formed by wave III. After that we'll see a reversal of the pair and its decline within the new correctional wave (2).
