Intel's Ultrabook initiative has taken the laptop world by storm, but something we've seen far too little of (in this writer's humble opinion, at least) is gaming-worthy Ultrabooks. We looked at the Acer Aspire Timeline U M3 581TG a while back and today we're looking at the Gigabyte U2442N, a slim 14-inch ultraportable with dedicated Nvidia graphics inside.
Going by the key specs alone, the U2442N gets off to a mightily impressive start. The 14-inch screen offers a very nice 1,600 x 900 pixel count, its keyboard is fully backlit, while under the streamlined yet solid hood you'll find a Core i7/i5 CPU, a generous 8GB of RAM, a dual-storage system that pairs a 128GB/256GB SSD with a 750GB/1TB HDD, and a 2GB Nvidia GeForce GT640M – all starting at a mere £800. That's as powerful as any Ultrabook we've yet seen, but can the rest of the Gigabyte U2442N live up to its inspiring specs?
When closed, the U2442N is a reasonably attractive Ultrabook. The top of the lid is finished in dark silver brushed metal, offset by a faux-metal lighter silver strip around the edge and on the base. Opening it up, the U2442N mimics many premium designs with an all-silver finish and black keyboard. However, the indicator LEDs, power and settings buttons and patterned speaker grill above the keyboard all break up its relatively clean lines.
Moreover, the bezel around the screen completely fails to emulate metal of any description, looking instead like really cheap plastic. The laptop's connectivity is a tad blatant too. Overall, while we certainly wouldn't call the Gigabyte U2442N ugly, it doesn't offer the same modern, tight lines sported by many of its competitors.
Build quality is on the good side of average. The plastics throughout are fairly solid despite a little flex in the lid and a few slightly loose keys, however the hinge action is solid and overall it holds up well. Gigabyte has been making laptops for quite a while now, and it's good to see that some of that experience is going on durability if not design.
With its slightly-taller-than-average 21mm-thick chassis, the Gigabyte U2442N has plenty of room for full-size connections and manages to include a fairly standard selection. Along the left we have a Gigabit Ethernet jack, VGA port, twin USB 2.0 ports positioned too close together, and separate headphone and microphone jacks – thankfully not picked out in green and pink.
The right-hand side houses a full-size SDXC card slot, twin USB 3.0 ports, and HDMI 1.4 for video. There's also a blocked-off port which looks like it was made to carry a miniDisplayPort.

You don't see married couples have parades down the street celebrating thier togetherness. It would not be such a huge deal if they would have stayed in the closet, so to speak. I don't hate gay people, I think what they are doing is not the way to live a healthy life. Their are people that have come out of that lifestyle and go around the country speaking out the dangers of it.
Scooter has a great comment on this topic.
There's a bit that's off with some of what you state - to me, anyway. I would be willing to bet that the homosexuals you see in gay pride demonstrations or "...tend to be so much in your face with homosexuality" are not the norm of the gay community -- such in the way that Child molesting priests, Fred Phelps and Televangelists are not the norm of the religious community.
To the comment of "Staying in the closet" - though you may not be able to get your head around it (not saying this as an insult, as you're openly sharing your feelings and I have an idea of how you think about a few areas):
Think about if something that was a part of who you are was considered socially unacceptable by the majority. Something that was a part of the person you are to the core - where, in some instances, can get you ridiculed, beaten or even killed. Of course, I'm going to "pick on" your religion because I know how strong a religious faith you project in writing.
Imagine how Christians would feel if the U.S.A. was taken over by Muslim Fundamentalists. No, I'm not comparing Christian views on homosexuality to the violence you'll find with some other religions - I'm just trying to create as stark and familiar feelings of how impossible for you to hide your love for God.
Anyway, think about going out in public - always being on guard, watching what you say, what you do. Never being able to truly & fully relax - to be who you are - just because you are different than the majority.
Remember - I am not trying to sway your opinions on homosexuality or convince you to accept it - I am only using your words to show you how you may not be giving much open thought to the issue.

Check out this great opportunity from our friends at Global Health Corps:
We are excited to announce that applications are now open for Global Health Corps (GHC) fellowships in Rwanda, Malawi, Burundi, and the United States.
GHC is a fellowship program that pairs young professionals from the United States with young professionals from our partner countries. This pair then works in year-long placements with leading non-profits in global health. You can watch a short video on our work here.
Our work is driven by a belief that a new generation of global health leaders with diverse skill-sets must be fostered and empowered in order to bring about innovative solutions to the extreme inequity in health outcomes around the world. GHC works to build this movement by recruiting, training, connecting, and supporting future leaders in global health. In addition to placing fellows with inspiring and effective organizations, we provide mentorship, training, and a community of alumni to help fellows build careers in global health.
Our first class of 22 fellows launched in August 2009, and they're already making a significant impact in the field. Andrew Peterson left his job as a product manager at Google to take a GHC fellowship. He's working with Goodluck Minja, a graduate in Computer Science from the ICS Institute in Dar es Salaam, to enhance the supply chain system for essential medicines in rural Tanzania. Emily Bearse finished her Masters in Public Health at Boston University. She accepted a fellowship working with Jeffrey Misomali, a graduate of the University of Malawi in Environmental Science and Technology, to help implement a new expert client program to support the prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV/AIDS in rural Malawi.
All of our fellows are writing and posting videos from their sites at fellows.ghcorps.org. If you're interested in helping to build this movement, please check out this year's positions at apply.ghcorps.org. Friday, March 5th is the deadline for American applicants, and for international applicants it's April 1st.
-Dave Ryan, Founding Director, Global Health Corps

We did it! Another great case break in the books, and this time we raised $150 for a tremendous cause! We pulled 43 total hits, three more than the expected 40, and two variation short prints. Also, I FINALLY pulled my very first ever Jose Abreu auto! Congrats to Ross of Design On Deck for scoring that bad boy!
Of course, there were some downsides to the break. We ran across some damage issues that affected the top card in many of the packs. We also ended up pulling an unusual amount of dupe hits. Pulling even one dupe hit in a full case can sometimes be seen by some as unacceptable.
Other than the few damaged base cards and the dupe hits, it was yet another classic case break made all the better by giving back to such an amazing cause in St. Baldrick's.
Also, Literal Quirk was back in full force and in rare form! She's definitely the highlight of any of our breaks! If you haven't done so yet, I encourage you to check out the replay video of the break if only just for her!
In just under two weeks we'll be busting up a case of 2015 Bowman. As of this posting, we have just 4 spots + 1 free spot remaining. Get your spots fast! This break WILL sell out!

Ok, it's a relatively simple idea but I fell for it. I have to admit that I think this is pretty cool. "Precious" is a Specialized bike that has been outfitted with sensors that feed to a live web interface. The website shows the grade the bike is climbing or descending, the cardinal direction the bike is heading, and more. (Check the site during the day; during the night the bike, and the sensors, are still.)
In addition, in a tally reminiscent of scientist Michael Fay's Megtransect expedition across the Congo basin, the website is tallying roadkills, honking cars, flat tires, and other vital cycling statistics in real time. And building on the temperature, humidity, grade, and map data, Precious has also been programmed to tweet various witty and relevant remarks as @yesiamprecious. (The bike currently has twice as many Twitter followers as its rider – that's gotta smart!). I thought immediately of HAL, Wired drew a parallel to Knight Rider. You get the idea.
The bike is being ridden by a woman named Janeen McCrae or "the noodleator" as a fundraiser for the Livestrong foundation, and she is also tweeting/blogging the trip at a website called No Direction Known. She had a rough day today, climbing hills in Kentucky, and I have mad respect for her, cycling solo across the country for a good cause. Her blog entries are honest, funny, and well written (though I do wish her RSS feed contained photos).
The sensor-laden bike aspect of this project is somewhat reminiscent of the Yahoo Purple Pedals bikes, which were loaded with GPS and Flickr-connected cameras, and lent to various riders as a Yahoo promotion. (Tech details on the Yahoo bikes) While those bikes had many interesting adventures, the one I remember best is the creative rider who took his, in the pre-election period, on a very carefully planned ride around Manhattan, so that the "dot every sixty seconds" automatic Yahoo map application would spell out "Obama."
Precious was built by the interactive firm BreakfastNY, and thinking of the Yahoo project begs the question why Precious does not integrate any kind of camera. I guess some task has to be left to the rider in addition to sweating up the hills in the heat. In any case, the country she is currently rolling through is beautiful and challenging, and her efforts deserve our support. She's only trying to raise one dollar per mile, or $4262, which to be honest seems like a pretty low goal for a solo cross country ride, and it must be feeling especially low as those miles drag on during this section of the ride, climbing hills in the Kentucky heat. So I pitched in for a couple dozen miles tomorrow, and you should to.
Ride strong, Janeen! Say hello when you reach Seattle!

I know we don't usually discuss the ins and outs of scouting but Amalie Benjamin of The Boston Globe has an excellent article about the scouting department of the Boston Red Sox. The article discusses how the Red Sox evaluate talent and how hard certain scouts work. One example stated in the article was how the Red Sox were staking out former Vanderbilt recruit Ryan Westmoreland games in Rhode Island before selecting him in the second round.

Saturn's Sad Story Nears an EndBy
The long, sad saga of Saturn is finally over.
The once-hot General Motors division that began with a bang 19 years ago is now headed into oblivion after a deal to sell it to retailer Penske Automotive Group (PAG) fell apart on Sept. 30. The chain of auto dealerships released a statement saying it couldn't find a source to manufacture new car models after 2011, when GM was scheduled to cease production of the existing Saturn models.
"It's not a big surprise," says James N. Hall, principal of Detroit-area consulting firm 2953 Analytics. "If you can't get product, you can't do the deal."
Penske had talked to more than one automaker about producing cars to sell in Saturn's 350 retail stores. The Renault-Nissan alliance was one potential supplier, say sources familiar with Penske's efforts. The two companies talked about selling some Nissan (NSANY) cars such as the Rogue compact SUV at Saturn stores. But a deal was never struck. There were also talks about bringing in cars built by Korean automaker Renault Samsung, which is 80% owned by Nissan partner Renault. But selling Samsung cars in the U.S. would have created a low-cost competitor for Nissan, so that was shot down, say sources close to Penske. In its press release, Penske said only that the board of directors for a potential supplier of cars killed the plan to buy Saturn.
GM Avoids Creating a Competitor While GM wanted to sell Saturn, the automaker may have dodged a bullet. Saturn's retail network consists of some of GM's best dealers. A sale would have created a strong network of dealers run by Penske Automotive, which is run by racing mogul Roger Penske, who is also one of the best auto retailers in the world. The retail powerhouse would have then sold someone else's cars once GM stopped supplying Saturns in 2011. "GM is very lucky because Saturn would have become a competitor," says Maryann N. Keller, an independent auto analyst who is on the board of retail chain Lithia Motors (LAD). "It made no sense to make it available as a brand and a distribution system."
In an interview in early August, GM CEO Frederick A. "Fritz" Henderson said the decision to sell Saturn was aimed at taking care of longtime dealers. It wasn't about a business strategy for GM. When asked if he was handing a rival carmaker a strong retail chain that could take market share from GM, Henderson replied, "We're not going to make it easy for them."
Now that the deal is dead, Saturn will join Oldsmobile and Pontiac as brands that perished as part of GM's bankruptcy reorganization. GM says it will give Saturn retailers cash to help wind down their businesses. But dealers say the money doesn't even offset their costs. California dealer Leo Bunnin says he isn't sure what to do. Roger Penske and Saturn General Manager Jill Lajdziak were supposed to start a tour of the brand's retailers in the coming weeks. So they thought a deal was all but done. "Retailers are shocked," says Bunnin, who has a Saturn store in Ventura, Calif. "My first thought is to turn it into a used-car store."
Brand Fizzled After Early Success The announcement brings to a close one of the more depressing chapters in GM's long slide. Saturn customers loved the experience of buying the small cars, and for a while the brand—launched in 1991 as "A Different Kind of Car Company"—succeeded in luring away some import buyers.
Indeed, Saturn started out as a stroke of marketing brilliance. From scratch, GM created a standalone company with its own factory and dealer network, and won buyers by selling the original S-Series compact at one fixed price. That was a revelation for buyers who hated haggling with salespeople. The debut car sold for less than $11,000 and was a bona fide hit.
But through the '90s, Saturn ran up against jealous siblings inside GM. In 1990, just a year before launching its first car, Saturn lost its patron when then-CEO Roger B. Smith retired. Soon it was battling for money and attention with GM's other brands, especially Oldsmobile. That partly explains why it took GM eight years to come up with a larger car, the doomed L-Series sedan, and almost a decade to replace the S-Series.
By the time GM started giving Saturn decent cars earlier this decade, the brand had been lurching from one marketing slogan to the next. In 2001 it became a "forward-thinking company." Before long it was all about the customer again. When that didn't work, Saturn emphasized its cars—hawking new models with the slogan "Like Always, Like Never Before." "Rethink American" was another idea that didn't hit.
Saturn hit a high-water mark with sales of 240,000 cars in 2007. But the brand was historically a big money loser and early this year GM, gushing cash, realized it could no longer support it. Today, Penske has reached the same conclusion.

I bought this a few months ago just because it was much more affordable and I am not disappointed! It's a great product.
My cat is usually quite picky with all foods, especially dry ones. I have tried many over the last couple of years, but this was by far the most enjoyed. My cat just wolfed it all down. I will certainly be buying this in future.

I have two cats, one is 1 1/2 and one is 3 years old. They both loved this dry food, and they are normally very fussy!
We appreciate how difficult it can be when your cats are fussy eaters and it's brilliant to hear they both loved Go-Cat. We hope they'll continue to enjoy Go-Cat for many years to come.
I tried both of my cats on this product and they loved it and kept looking for more when they had finished
Been feeding my cats this food for about a month now and they love it!
From the moment the food came in the house my cat went crazy for it. The smell won him over before he even ate it. And once he did eat it hes was meowing for more.
My cat usually has wet food but is alway hungry, I thought I would try some biscuits and he loves them! He doesnt pester for food now and comes running when he hears the box being shaken!

2. Matt Moses (Fort Myers Miracle, High-Class A)- The 20-year old third baseman takes the number two spot on our list. Moses is a high-ceiling prospect who is only going to get better and gain increased power as he gets older. Currently batting in the #3 spot for Fort Myers, Moses is batting .326 after the first 63 games of the year. He has smoked seven balls out of the park while collecting 13 doubles and a triple. His 21 extra-base hits have brought his slugging percentage up to .495 on the year. As clutch as they come, Moses is batting .475 with runners on and two outs, and is his average is at a .448 with runners in scoring position and two outs. Matt is currently 2nd in the Florida State League in batting.
3. Garrett Jones (Rochester Red Wings, Class AAA)- The #3 spot goes to Rochester 1B, Garrett Jones. The 6'4'' lefty has blasted 14 home runs in 2005, which ranks him tied for fifth in the International League. In addition to the home runs, Jones has 14 doubles making 28 of his 69 hits the extra-base variety. All those extra-base hits have brought his slugging percentage to .481 on the year. Like Matienzo, Jones has struggled with the strikeouts as well this year with 66 whiffs in 69 games. However, his production cannot be denied in the middle of that Red Wings lineup, where 13 of his 14 home runs have come while batting fifth.
4. Douglas Deeds (New Britain Rock Cats, Class AA)- The right fielder has been raking this season for New Britain while batting in front of Matienzo. He currently has eight home runs, 36 RBI, and ranks 2nd in the Eastern League in doubles with 23. Always a threat to go deep, Deeds currently leads the team in walks, which says a lot with Matienzo batting behind him. Deeds has been pretty clutch this season for the Rock Cats, with five of his home runs coming with runners on base. Getting better as the season wears on, all of Deeds numbers have gone up monthly from April to June. He currently has a monthly best four home runs in June. With a .461 slugging percentage, he has been the consummate number three hitter.
5. Luis Jimenez (New Britain Rock Cats, Class AA)- Fifth on our list is the guy who splits time with Matienzo at 1B and DH. Jimenez has put 11 balls out of the yard this season, and if he was playing first base everyday, would probably have more. When Luis plays first base, he is hitting .308 with 8 home runs and 10 doubles. When he is in the DH slot, Jimenez is batting only .230 with 3 home runs. Batting behind Matienzo also helps, as he is batting .297 with 6 of his home runs coming from the fifth slot. So far this season, Jimenez's slugging percentage is a gaudy .515. In 2004, Luis hit 20 home runs and drove in 75, earning the title of 12th best prospect in the Appalachian League.
6. Kevin West (Rochester Red Wings, Class AAA)- Number six on our list is a guy who loves batting in the six hole. Kevin West had a monster 2004 season, where he was a Eastern League All-Star after blasting 25 home runs and driving in 75 runs. He slugged a robust .551, thanks to his 61 extra-base hits. West holds the New Britain record for home runs with 39, and has brought some pop to the Rochester lineup this year. He has hit eight home runs so far this season, not a great total, but he failed to hit one in April and has come on as of late. An RBI machine, five of West's eight home runs have come with runners on. West has also collected 12 doubles, leading to a .431 slugging percentage.
7. Jeremy Pickrel (Beloit Snappers, Low-Class A)- Thanks to the long ball, Pickrel made the jump from Elizabethton to Beloit. After blasting five home runs in a short schedule of games, Pickrel was assigned to Beloit of the Midwest League after Spring Training. He has not let the Snappers down as he has blasted seven home runs, ripped four triples, and tallied 11 doubles. Out of his 56 hits, 22 of them have gone for extra-bases. He is currently slugging .480 in his first full season of professional baseball. A tenth-round pick in 2004, Pickrel's only goal this season is to make it to High-Class A Fort Myers.
8. Alex Romero (New Britain Rock Cats, Class AA)- Our number 8 guy is actually considered more of a speed guy. The 21-year old left fielder currently has nine home runs and 15 doubles for the Rock Cats. In 2004, Romero tied for the team lead in home runs with six for the Fort Myers Miracle in the pitcher friendly Florida State League. After starting off slowly in 2005, Romero has blasted five home runs in June in only 27 games. The switch-hitter would much rather bat from the left side, with all of his home runs coming while facing right handed pitching. On the season, Romero sports a .442 slugging percentage.
9. Deacon Burns (Beloit Snappers, Low-Class A)- Number nine is a player who hits the ball to all fields and has great gap power. Not the biggest guy in the world, (5'8'', 185 lbs.), Burns is an extra base machine. Not only has he blasted six home runs this season, but he has also hit seven triples, and amassed 22 doubles. Batting mostly in the third slot, Burns has a slugging percentage of .481. While not considered a huge power guy, anyone with 35 extra base hits in 71 games has to be on the list.
10. Scott Whitrock (Fort Myers Miracle, High-Class A)- The final slot goes to Scott Whitrock of the Fort Myers Miracle. It is either sink or swim with this slugger, the ball is either going a long way, or nowhere at all. While his nine home runs are nice to look at, he has struck out an eye-popping 76 times in 56 games. He has recorded 13 doubles which brings his slugging percentage to .440, but if he does not cut down on the strike out, he can never be considered a legitimate prospect. But, nine home runs in the Florida State League is still very impressive.

Sometime ago T had section 8 made against. T moved out on last day allowed by judge according to others in the house (HMO). Apparently others in house have entered room (normally locked from outside)to see the state it has been left in.
T has left with a substantial amount of money owing 6k for rent and I do not want to have to wait for another 6weeks for CC bailiffs to attend if can be avoided. Other T's have told me that a family member moved his possessions out. Had previously offered deed of surrender at a reduced rate so T well aware of what is required but is ignorant.
T has been unable to communicate since it all went bad so didn't really expect for him to tell me when gone but thought he may be interested in going sooner rather than latter as judge gave in favour and at an increased rate per day as part of the judgement. In theory I could wait for the 6weeks and capitalise on the increased rate but more interested in getting some money coming in.
Will ask the questions on how I chase the money (T works) via a different thread.
Should I send a txt notifying my intentions of going into unlocked room or am I safe to enter and re let given implied surrender (left on last day after judgement and room left unlocked). There is an abandonment clause within contract.
I do appreciate that the only sure fire way is via CC bailiffs but would hope common sense prevails?
hopefully this has come out ok as on mobile device and formatting gone funny so apologies

"Chattanooga VW employees managed to stave off a coercive unionization campaign even though the UAW and VW officials colluded for over two years to stack the deck against the workers. The result of this election came after the NLRB further tilted the playing field in favor of UAW union officials by fast-tracking the unionization process. Despite all of this, UAW union officials still lost the vote.
"Now, UAW union officials blaming everyone but themselves for swaying the vote against the union, while neglecting the fact that members of VW Germany management threatened workers to unionize or miss out on more work. Even President Obama weighed in with support for unionization. Obviously, the UAW's complaints about 'outside influences' only apply to those that oppose the UAW.
"In the past, the NLRB has refused to uphold employer objections to unionization elections in which politicians acting at the behest of the UAW seemingly swayed the vote's outcome in favor of the union. Foundation staff attorneys plan to exercise every legal option for workers who support the election's result, because they are concerned that Volkswagen will not actively defend the employees' vote."

"Add ejaculate to the list of words you can't use when talking to women."
Thomas, on how his night out went.
"You know Monks, I don't know what I'd do without you." "You'd probably drink a lot more."Thomas and Monkey Comics is a webcomic strip at thomasandmonkeycomics.com It was begun by Thomas Davidson in January 2010. The comic centers on the titular characters, Thomas and Monkey. Thomas is a court sketch artist who cracks horrifically bad jokes, usually while trying to pick up girls. Monkey is his roommate and (seemingly) only friend, a well-read primate who plays video games.The two have been friends since childhood and are now out in the adult world of nightclubs, deadlines, bills and unfulfilled dreams.Monkey frequently questions why he is friends with Thomas, not least because he has seen Confessions of a Shopaholic over 20 times.The webcomic is filled with bad pick-up lines, puns about genitals, drinking in the shower, and cigars on the rooftop.
Thomas and Monkey's relationship.
This webcomic offers examples of:
- Art Evolution - Compare the first comic with the with strip number 85.
- Author Avatar - Thomas is physically based partly on the author himself, and the Monkey character is inspired by a toy he had growing up. Both characters are used as the author's voice on certain issues.
- Berserk Button - Here Monkey goes off over Thomas's obsession with 'Confessions of a Shopaholic'.
- A Boy and His Monkey
- Brilliant, but Lazy - Thomas alludes to it in this strip.
- Thomas's work ethic emphasizes this in this strip.
- Butt Monkey - Thomas takes a fair share of stick.
- The Comically Serious: Monkey is the straight-laced one compared to Thomas's quirks.
- The Couch - The couch in their apartment.
- Deadpan Snarker - Monkey, about Thomas. Thomas, about girls.
- This strip is an example of a monkey Snark.
- Gallows Humour - Shown in this strip
- Ho Yay - On display in this comic.
- I Can Explain - Monkey caught in a dress
- Incredibly Lame Pun - This one is horrific.
- Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places - Thomas.
- Male Gaze - Evidenced here
- Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane - Some fans are starting to wonder if Monkey is real or in Thomas's head.
- Missing Episode - A few deleted strips can be found here.
- My God, What Have I Done? - Happens to Thomas after he does a comedy routine about vaginas.
- Also here after talking to a girl.
- Name and Name
- No Name Given - Thomas or Monkey's last names.
- Noodle Incident - The truth about this event is never explained.
- Although that could be about to change as hinted at in this strip.
- Odd-Shaped Panel - Frequently features strange panel layouts.
- Portmanteau - "Awes-Tastic"
- Pungeon Master - Thomas spouts some absolutely horrendous puns, like this one.
- Reality Subtext - Plenty of the jokes are said to be based on the author's experiences.
- Rule34: - Averted (for now).
- Running Gag - Thomas's "Sup Babe" here
- Scenery Porn - Especially evident in the detail of this strip.
- Sharp-Dressed Man - Thomas always wears suits or shirts.
- Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism - For a strip about a two friends one of whom is a monkey, it gets pretty dark. it's not clear that Monkey actually likes Thomas, and Thomas is sometimes quite bitter and dejected.
- Unnamed Parent - Both characters parents are unamed.
- Vitriolic Best Buds - Both main characters, though Monkey is usually at odds with Thomas.
- Write Who You Know - Thomas' jokes falling on deaf ears comes from the author's own jokes failing with friends.

Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus: The Classic Guide to… (original 1992; edition 1992)

Work details
Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus by John Gray (1992)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I generally stay away from self-help books. Most of them are common sense anyway. I picked this one up one time out of curiosity, and to my surprise a lot of the chapters bring up excellent points. A bit of it is hit and miss and based on your perspective and to be taken with a grain of salt. Still, the chapters telling the differences between men and their silent phases, women needing to talk a lot on an emotional level, and arguments that arise and reasons behind them make a lot of sense. I saw signs of this in every relationship I've been in, and continue to see it when friends come to me with relationship troubles. Worth a read for sure.
Good book :) Men's minds are so funny! I make mistakes all the time out of care! It is so funny to understand how the same situation could be so different for me to him.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 006016848X, Hardcover)Relationship counselor John Gray focuses on the differences between men and women--men are from Mars, and women are from Venus, after all--and offers a simple solution: couples must acknowledge and accept these differences before they can develop happier relationships. In this unabridged version, Gray gives a spirited delivery of his message, especially when role-playing typical male/female interactions. Although it takes some time to adjust to his slightly nasal tone, the information is sound and gives both men and women helpful hints on improving themselves and their union. (Running time: 9.5 hours, 6 cassettes) --Sharon Griggins
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:18:22 -0400)
Popular marriage counselor and seminar leader John Gray provides a unique, practical and proven way for men and women to communicate and relate better by acknowledging the differences between them. Once upon a time Martians and Venusians met, fell in love, and had happy relationships together because they respected and accepted their differences. Then they came to earth and amnesia set in: they forgot they were from different planets. Using this metaphor to illustrate the commonly occurring conflicts between men and women, Gray explains how these differences can come between the sexes and prohibit mutually fulfilling loving relationships. Based on years of successful counseling of couples, he gives advice on how to counteract these differences in communication styles, emotional needs and modes of behavior to promote a greater understanding between individual partners. Gray shows how men and women react differently in conversation and how their relationships are affected by male intimacy cycles ("get close", "back off"), and female self-esteem fluctuations ("I'm okay", "I'm not okay"). He encourages readers to accept the other gender's particular way of expressing love, and helps men and women learn how to fulfill each other's emotional needs. With practical suggestions on how to reduce conflict, crucial information on how to interpret a partner's behavior and methods for preventing emotional "trash from the past" from invading new relationships, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus is a valuable tool for couples who want to develop deeper and more satisfying relationships with their partners.… (more)

If statistics can reinforce a point they can also mislead horribly. Stoke, 11 Premier League matches since they had last won, were ostensibly at their lowest ebb since they went 17 games without a win in 1989. They had not endured a poorer start to a top-flight season, moreover, since 1973.
However, look at it another way, and they had at times been so hard to beat during those 11 games that they had been able to take points off Arsenal (twice), Everton and Manchester City, while their defeat at Chelsea last week was considered to be unkind.
Against a Swansea side beaten three times in a row, showing signs lately that they are finding life at the top a little more taxing compared with their free-spirited debut season, this result, therefore, was hardly a surprise. Stoke were stronger, quicker, more sure of themselves. Swansea dominated possession 60-40 in the day's other misleading statistic, as they rarely threatened Asmir Begovic's goal. At the other end it was as if they were outnumbered by one man: Peter Crouch,
Crouch scored both Stoke's goals, the first rather easily, the second a classic of his repertoire, the kind in which everything seems to happen in a blur of knees and elbows but then on second viewing you appreciate the speed of his reactions and the quality of his technique.
The chance came from a cross by Michael Kightly on the right to the far post in a crowded penalty area. Crouch controlled the ball on his chest, flicked it around Angel Rangel towards Jonathan Walters with an extended right leg and then was in position to shoot in an instant when Leon Britton's attempted clearance hit Walters on the head. Michel Vorm made a decent save but could not hold the ball and Crouch, still on his feet, still perfectly balanced, pounced deftly on the rebound.
Coupled with the free header he had been granted at a corner to give Stoke the lead, it took his tally to four goals in his last four Premier League games. The Britannia Stadium crowd, mindful of Crouch's omission from Roy Hodgson's squad for Euro 2012 and in two World Cup qualifiers since, joined in a chorus of "Crouch for England".
He came close to a hat-trick, a second half-header skimming the bar. Tony Pulis, the Stoke manager, called him "unplayable" but would not be drawn to join the chorus. "Roy has a lot of experience and the last thing I want to do is tell him who to pick," he said. "I just wish he was Welsh."
Stoke City (4-2-3-1): Begovic; Cameron, Shawcross, Huth, Wilson; N'Zonzi, Whelan (Whitehead, 81); Kightly, Adam (Etherington, 68), Walters; Crouch (Jones, 86).
Swansea City (4-2-3-1): Vorm; Rangel, Flores, Williams, Davies; Britton, Ki; Dyer, Michu (Moore, 75), Hernandez (Routledge, 61); Graham.
Referee: Jonathan Moss

Everyone loves a good rumor. We're going to run down the hottest video game rumors that have surfaced on the Internet recently and try to determine whether they're likely to be true or false. Put on your detective hat and follow along.
1. Is an unannounced Halo game in the works?
343 Industries, the developer that took the helm on the Halo franchise after Bungie blasted off to work on Destiny, is currently working on Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Halo 5: Guardians. But a recent job posting on Microsoft's website (that's since been taken down) says the company is looking for developers to work on a "new project line in the Halo universe." What could it mean? Could it be a new mobile game like Halo: Spartan Assault? Or will it be an offshoot of the main Halo series, like Halo Wars? Or something entirely new? Either way, it's pretty exciting for fans of the series.
Verdict: Very likely
2. Have GTA Online heist mission details leaked?
Fans of Grand Theft Auto V's robust online mode have been chomping at the bit for Rockstar to unleash the Heist Mission DLC that the company announced long ago. These missions will let friends band together as criminals to perform spectacular crimes, or as the cops to stop the other team. A website called Load the Game has released alleged details of the heists gamers can expect to participate in once the content goes live later this year. The question is: Are those details true? There's a good chance they are, as the leaks reportedly come from a YouTuber with a strong history of leaking GTA Online info before it launches.
Verdict: Probably

here it is: you've just gotten off of work, and you are in the subway headed home. you get in the train car, along with dozens of other people. there are approx. 30 other people in the car with you; not too crowded, plenty of seats to choose from. the line you take home is an express line, so it makes limited stops, and the next one isn't for another ten minutes. sharing the car with you is a man who has begun ranting, and waving his fists at people. you can't tell if he's homeless or not, or on drugs, but you can see he's visibly angry and unstable. he accosts a black woman, knocking her phone out of her hand, because she threatened to dial 911. he then gets in her face and screams racial obscenities, and threatens to "lynch" her. she moves away, and leaves for the next train car. he puts his hands in his pockets, continuing his behavior. he then turns his attention to you, and starts to scream about how he hates you and everything about you, and how he wants to kick your behind. you tell him, in no uncertain terms, to keep away.
on your person is your concealed firearm, OC spray, and a knife; let's assume you're legal to carry all of these items. you also have a cell phone. if the deranged man failed to back up, what would your response be? i took this scenario from another forum, and i was a bit surprised and disappointed in many of the responses. my own response was: i would repeat my warning to him, and take a defensive position. if he kept advancing, i'd warn him that i was about to spray him with OC. if he keeps coming, he gets peppered. if he still advanced, i'd put as much distance between us as possible. if he took his hands from his pockets, and i concluded he was unarmed, i'd attempt a restraint, or other physical response. only, and i mean only, if i saw that he was armed would i draw and use a firearm.
i pose this question because many of the responses to my response were very critical; many were of the mind to give one verbal warning, then shoot. just wondering what people here thought, and if i deserved the criticism.

Dodge Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
HiCustomer welcome to Just Answer!.
My impression is that removing the cap from the vacuum hose increased airflow to the engine, something it apparently needs. A factory-capped, dead-end hose like this would have no other effect that I can imagine.
When it originally would not restart, did you try using throttle (up to wide open) during the start attempts?
Do you see a CHECK ENGINE lamp illumination now when it's running?
Have you driven it to see if there's any power loss?
Or is it just an idle roughness problem at this point?
Very strange!
Talk in a few,
Hi Ed.
I was thinking the same thing as you. But there has to be an underlying issue somewhere and I don't know the first place to look.
To answer your questions...
When it originally wouldn't start, I did try opening the throttle all the way with no luck.
I have driven it, and there is a slight power loss...although it's very subtle.
When the cap is on the hose, it runs very rough now, and when I step on the gas the car just wants to quit.
Thanks for your help.
Oh...the check engine light was on at first, but I cleared the codes from the computer and now the lamp doesn't come on.
Thanks again for your help.
Hi Joe, good to meet you!
I had another thought on the subject. The vacuum hose that made such a difference in engine idle might also supply vacuum to the EGR system. If that's so, disabling the EGR might stop unintended flow at idle, fixing the idle problem.
Locate the EGR valve on the back side of the engine... pretty much above the transaxle area. The EGR system is composed of the valve, a vacuum/ backpressure transducer solenoid and a metal tube that ferries the EGR gas from the exhaust to the intake manifold.
Start the engine (vacuum hose uncapped) and check the tube for heating. Then cap the hose and see if it makes a difference in tube temperature.
If it starts flowing at idle, the tube will heat up like a toaster, so don't cook yourself. I'm thinking the EGR system is having issues at this point but it might be the tip of the iceberg. Check it out and let me know what you find.
It should NOT heat up if working correctly.
Talk shortly,
No rush, I've suddenly gotten busy here lol!
Talk in a bit,
Hi Ed,
I'm sorry it took so long to get back to you. The car belongs to my mom and I had to wait till she had time for me to look at it again.
I did what you said and started the car, then plugged off the vacuum line, but it didn't heat up at all. I kept it running for about 10 minutes with no change.
Hi Ed. Thanks for the response.
I did trace the vacuum line back to the intake manifold. It's not attached to a sensor but rather just a nipple that sticks out of the manifold. This has my baffled as well and the vacuum line isn't shown on any diagrams that I could find.
The car was running fine until we went out of town on Memorial Day weekend. I was driving my mom to meet some relatives and it was running great. After almost 200 miles, the engine started to stall and the check engine light came on. I had it towed to our destination and was able to start it a few hours later. The check engine light was still on and it was running very rough. So I took it to an Autozone and ran the scan, but it came up with the code that the #4 cylinder had a misfire. So I made sure the spark plug and wire were good and cleared the code from the system and it ran great from then on.
We came home on Memorial Day and it ran like a champ...until the next Friday morning when my mom took the car to church, it wouldn't start so she could go home. The check engine light had come on again and the car just wouldn't start. I couldn't get it to a scanner, so I figured it was the same problem as before. So I replaced the spark plug and cleared the system and it started, but ran very rough still. It was then that I played around and pulled the end off that vacuum line.
It seems to idle fine right aroung 800 rpm's. And above idle, you can tell there is some performance loss but not much. However, my mom said that sometimes, while she's driving, the car will surge just a little and that will last about 5 seconds and stop.
This didn't happen after a refueling stop and it was running 100% before this whole thing happened. And the check engine light hasn't come on since.
Please let me know if I may have missed anything. Sorry about the short story.
Ok, that makes perfect sense. The description you gave on what would happen is right on the money as to what happened on the way out of town. The engine sputtered and wouldn't accept acceleration at all, then when I got it to the shoulder of the interstate, it just quit.
The roughness seems to be steady but not really with a beat. Just really sporadic. And it does improve with acceleration.
Thanks Ed.
I will look into those things tomorrow when I have my mom stop over. I will let you know how it goes.

Now lets me see, what did I do to prep this week… ?:-)
Spent most of the week getting a water meter and spigot set in place on my property. This will be a big help with my gardening, livestock and extra safety in case of a fire. This is a huge step for me since, I've not had water from the municipality in years. I'm so excited 🙂 .
What else did I do to prep this week…
- Bought a Skil 8.5 Amp Reciprocating Saw
- Added more mulch around my dwarf apple trees.
- Cleared away underbrush alone my property line.
- Replaced used food from my storage with new.
- Bought a "brick" of .22LR ammo.
That is it for me this week, how about you – what did you do to prep this week?

Experiential Learning Definition – Video Transcript Hi, welcome to Adventure Associates and a short teach piece on experiential learning. Experiential learning is the basis for our team building and corporate training program design. A quick definition of experiential learning – it's not brain surgery, it's really simple. Basically, it's an individual who is learning about a topic by actually doing something rather than passively reading, thinking, or viewing information on that topic. Learning by doing – something that we do every day.

Will my type change if I retake the MBTI®?
There are several reasons why Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® results may differ: People may think their job expects certain behavior. A supervisor or a trainer can give an impression that there is a preferred way to be for that organization before the person takes the MBTI. This can adversely affect the outcome for the individual. An individual is looking for a particular kind of a job and answers the MBTI by choosing preferences that may match the desired job instead of answering in a way that reflects his or her true preferences. According to American culture standards, men are "supposed" to…

Citation: Peng, Y., Bartley, L.E., Chen, X., Dardick, C.D., Ruan, R., Canlas, P.E., Ronald, P.C. 2008. OsWRKY62 is a negative regulator of basal and Xa21-mediated defense against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae in rice. Molecular Plant. 1(3):446-458. Interpretive Summary: Plants protect themselves against pathogen invasion by turning on specific cellular defense responses. Upon exposure to the bacterial pathogen, Xanthomonas oryzae, rice plants carrying the disease resistance gene Xa21 turn on a specific set of defenses that limit the growth of the bacteria. Currently, very little is known about how the Xa21 gene recognizes and responds to this bacterial pathogen. Here, we report the discovery of a gene called OsWRKY62 that controls the ability of Xa21 to turn on defense responses. WRKY-type genes are known to regulate plant defense responses but have never been directly linked to the genes that actually recognize the invading pathogen. OsWRKY62 directly interacts with Xa21, and when OsWRKY62 activity is increased, the plants become highly susceptible to infection by Xanthomonas. The discovery of OsWRKY62 fills a key gap in our understanding of how plant disease resistance genes respond to pathogen infection and may serve as a potential target for engineering resistance against pathogens.
Technical Abstract: The rice Xa21 gene, which confers resistance to the bacterial pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), encodes a receptor-like kinase. Few components involved in transducing the Xa21-mediated defense response have yet been identified. It is reported that XA21 binds to a WRKY transcription factor, called OsWRKY62. OsWRKY62 encodes two splice variants (OsWRKY62 and OsWRKY62spl). OsWRKY62:smGFP2 fusion proteins partially localize to the nucleus. Transgenic plants overexpressing OsWRKY62 are compromised in the basal defense response and Xa21-mediated resistance to Xoo. Furthermore, overexpression of OsWRKY62 suppresses the activation of defense-related genes. These results indicate that OsWRKY62 functions as a negative regulator of innate immunity in rice and serves as a critical mediator of both basal and race-specific defense responses.

Help you build the Envato 2020 Vision? It's pretty easy actually – how about just START LISTENING you partners and clients (authors and buyers)!
LISTENING (not just HEARING)
TitanThemes said
Please don't hate me for this, but i was hoping to see something like "Buy Unique" means if someone purchased a theme for a unique price which is like $4,000 or something the theme/template will be removed from the marketplace and the unique buyer gets full rights to the theme.
Exactly, that's what I would love to see for PSD/HTML templates.
featured file & author of the month, to be elected by the rating obtained in the previous month, not on forum
(1) The success formula: Happier Buyers => Happier Sellers.
(2) I sell music on AJ and think there's too many items – compared to the search methods that buyers currently have. Buyers rather not listen to hundreds of tracks. 100+ added in the music category per day is too much, most of it being the same epic/cinematic or happy/ukulele stuff anyway. Items have a sales window of a few days before being flushed down into to the dark "search" pit. While I appreciate the effort to help new musicians to sell, it shouldn't have to punish buyers and make it harder to sort out quality.
(3) What would it look like for the whole community to be succeeding?
I would like any community to have a sense of "member equality". As of now, the differing economical realities of the marketplaces make for a "class differentiation" that doesn't need to be. Let's use some insights from one marketplace and applying it to others, to even out the situation.
I took a closer look at themeforest, and tried to figure out why authors there make so much more money. It's not only because they devote a lot of time to make good products that buyers need, it's also about sheer numbers.
AJ Music Items: 107 544 (not counting packs, logos, SFX) TF All Items: 13 022
The "Top Authors" list is a quick way to see how a marketplace is doing (however since music and sfx are mixed the sales reflect different earnings)
The #50 AJ author has made +$5 000 with 2 908 sales The #50 TF author has made +$250 000 12 916 sales
Likely there has been a decision to go for the "long tail" instead of "big hits" and as a result AJ is spreading a thin layer of "acceptable" music across the shop. 20th century prophets may argue that the customer benefits from more choices, but that is now proven wrong, and the best selling songs are still – you guessed it – the best selling songs. The rest of the music industry are now slowly waking up from this and placing their bets on fewer acts with higher marketing ratios. Cutting the long tail down by up to 90% would hardly have a noticeable effect on overall sales – buyers would select from the remaining 10 000 items and would probably have a happier time shopping.
Any company that is building a long term brand in a highly competitive environment and has the option to choose either "variety" or "quality" should always go for "quality". AJ has become very popular the last few years because of the high quality / low price strategy. While some may frown on the "devaluation of music" this imples, I try to see the customer benefits of it and the vastly increased market that follows. I don't exactly jump high every morning when I see prices drop and competition rise, but it is a global reality and so I will have to accept it. However, there is no reason for any of us to accept a devaluation of the brand we are promoting within that reality. AJ could easily become the #1 goto shop for royalty free stock music buyers, just as themeforest is the #1 wordpress theme shop – all it takes is raising the bar on approvals. Quality will follow.
Result: More and Happier Buyers => Happier Sellers, Stronger Community.
Envato has done a fantastic job so far and I have bright hopes of the future.
Cheers from Sweden,
I just wanted to add that one of main success factors for any community is being dynamic based on members demands and in the other hand for the members I believe they want to have an actual impact, they want to be listened not just heard (as @Koev mentioned). Additionally I want to add a reference from this post http://themeforest.net/forums/thread/we-can-see-ratings-now-how-can-i-help-those-who-need-it/121285 notice the @RubenBristian (well known and respected author) message. I must say it is really disappointing.
So 2020 Vision? if you lose the community it would be "hey remember that site which was the no 1 theme marketplace back in 2014!?"
I really love TF because it is giving me the opportunity to present my work to the world and seeing that actually I am adding something useful to my carrier world is success for me and of course money (scrooge :P)

Hitting the nail on the head, yes oh yes
First, I want to say how thankful I am to be involved with a company where these types of questions are asked Here are my answers:
(1) In the context of the Envato ecosystem, what does success mean to you?
Achieving career independence.
(2) A: What do you want to achieve through our sites? B: What new things and in what new ways could we be helping you succeed?
A: Hard work creating/uploading and supporting items pays off, i.e. fair exposure, and continuing to work toward improving the ratings system.
B: Adding a developer's license, decreasing the amount of bundles, and developing some type of "buyer rewards" program.
(3) What would it look like for the whole community to be succeeding?
Every author feels that their contributions to the marketplaces, whether large or small, are all equally valued.

well that's true. we criticize and ask for more each time envato is doing something but still remains our favorite place to be around.
collis said
(3) What would it look like for the whole community to be succeeding?
If this is to include customers, then I'd like to see more interaction with us (or even any at all) when you're making changes to the way the system works. For example the new rating system changes, or the terrible UI. Considering a lot of us are designers, developer and UI experts we could bring a lot of value to the table. For free.
I'd also like to see more customers encouraged onto the forum as there are hardly any at the moment, and moderators working to build a friendlier environment where trolling and intimidation is a thing of the past.
collis said
... I'm expecting there to be a lot of discussion
OK, you want to spend more time at the office because your son doesn't give a crap about your problems… as you said here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keDneypw3HY
Thanks for your initiative and interest in our needs and wishes.
I still have no comparison to other providers but envato. All I can see is that envato has a great community which gives me a little bit the feel of being "at home".
One important thing would be to work on the AJ licenses. Especially for using the music in commercial ads. There is no relation to commissional work or other provider of royalty free music as far as I can look inside these offers.Another thing I thought about is to find a way to handle the amount of AJ items and to give older items with no sales a second chance before removing them to declutter the store. http://audiojungle.net/forums/thread/to-decimate-the-amount-of-aj-items/120732 I don't know if it's good or fair or even helpful. It's just an idea.
Thanks Collis for your attention!

Men Must Not Cry - Poem by Thomas Phelps
The chapel was full, like never before.
They crammed inside and looked at the floor.
Of course you know the reason why,
Because in our culture, men must not cry.
Oh, they can laugh and joke and swear
And drink and fight and dye their hair
And though I know no reason why,
It seems it's wrong for men to cry.
But a friend had gone for ever that day
And though there are lots of words we could say,
Nothing could change the unfair fact
That a man had gone and could not come back.
The women could sit and the women could sob,
They knew him as neighbours, or through his job
And the men could shake their heads and sigh,
But that is all, for men must not cry.

How to Eat More and Weigh Less
5 simple tips to help you cut calories and stay satisfied.
If you're tired of hearing diet advice to eat less, we have news you're going to love."By picking foods that are naturally lower in calories but larger in volume, you can eat a lot more food without worrying about what it will do to your waistline," says Barbara Rolls, Ph.D., author of The Ultimate Volumetrics Diet (William Morrow, 2012). In fact, we tend to choose our food based on volume—not calorie count—and the quantity of food we eat each day stays remarkably consistent even though the number of calories we wolf down can vary. So, "lowering your food's calorie density," as researchers call it, is a smart—and healthy—way to satisfy your appetite and cut calories. These five research tested tips let you put this concept into practice.

Daniels' Legacy Packed With Yards and Positivity
By USF
Related Links
By TOM ZEBOLD
USF Senior Writer
TAMPA - B.J. Daniels got accustomed to running past defenders during his USF career. Now he's doing the same on the road to recovery.
Daniels' playing career at USF ended during a 13-6 win over UConn on Nov. 3 and the Bulls' career leader in rushing touchdowns talked with reporters for the first time since he broke a bone in his leg this week.
"I'm taking it all in and trying to adjust going to the kitchen. Everything is fine," Daniels said. "I just have to make sure I stay involved with the team and do the things I set out to do as far as being a good person and a good leader."
It won't take much for teammates to listen to Daniels after all he's accomplished as a Bull. He became only the eighth FBS player from a Florida school to amass more than 10,000 yards of total offense and he finished third in Big East history with 10,501 yards. He ranks fourth all-time at USF with 2,068 rushing yards, third in passing attempts (1,132) and passing yards (4,333), and tied for second in passing touchdowns (52).
"Big wins, records and things like that are all cool, but it all ends real soon and real quick," Daniels said. "The relationships I've built with some of these coaches and players are something I'll be able to hold onto for the rest of my life."
Daniels made it very clear that his work at USF isn't finished. A new quarterback will take over Saturday against Miami and the Bulls still have three more games left in the push to make a bowl game. Daniels plans to be with the team as much as he can during the stretch run and will continue his main goal as a Bull - remain a positive influence for anyone.
"There are a lot of different things people wish they could be doing as far as collegiate football and I'm blessed to have had the opportunity to do it," he said. "Any way I can help out and motivate, even at a time like this, I will. There is some little kid out there watching and when I was a kid I always watched the older guys. They had a bigger impact on me more than they would ever realize."
Daniels eventually will be back to being 100 percent healthy. When that happens, he'll be working toward being a positive influence as an NFL player, a dream he's had since growing up in Tallahassee.
"I'm trying to make sure I'm in line to go train and do all the right things mentally and physically to try to get ready for the next level. That's my goal and that's what I want to do," Daniels said.
Daniels has other options as well and plans to use his college degree in the working world if his career as a pro player doesn't work out.
"The NFL is my dream, but if it doesn't happen I have my degree in criminology. I've already set up appointments with FBI agents and things like that," he said.
Daniels' Favorite Win
Daniels posted 21 wins as USF's starting quarterback and his favorite memory is the one that started it all.
The Lincoln High School product grew up watching FSU front and center during his early years, but wasn't signed by the Seminoles. His first start as a Bull came during his redshirt freshman season in Tallahassee when Daniels ran for 126 yards, threw two TD passes and totaled 341 of USF's 368 yards of offense in a 17-7 win over Bobby Bowden's crew.
"I probably still can't say that I've topped the feeling of winning in Tallahassee," Daniels said.
"He killed us,'" Bowden said after the game. ''Boy, they've got a great one there.''
Staying Positive
Daniels wasn't hard to find on the field at USF and wound up starting 42 of the 47 games he played in since 2008. He missed a handful of games because of injuries, but always was quick to get back on the field. Now he's getting used to a role that's very new to the Bulls' most vocal leader on the team.
"In the two or three games in years past, it was difficult to sit on the sideline and watch, but to know that it ended the way it did for me physically was somewhat of a disappointment," he said. "I'm just trying to stay positive, keep things in a bigger spectrum and make sure I do what I can to get back healthy."

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
- This article is about Hippocrates the philosopher. For other uses, see Hippocrates (disambiguation).
Hippocrates (Ἱπποκράτης) of Kos was a famous Greek physician living in the Athenian Golden Age. He is known as the founder of alternative medicine.
Contrary to the tradition of the day, Hippocrates was not named after a place he was born in. Indeed, he was born in Kos, as his name might not suggest because of the said tradition. Hippocrates invented alternative medicine after his father taught him everything. He was praised by Socrates in Plato's works and by Plato in his own works as well. He is supposed to have lived up to 80, 85, 90, 95 or 100 years! Clearly, he loved integers that are multiples of five. The fact that he died at one of such precise times (e.g. 95yrs. 00days 00hours 00mins 00s) baffles many people. It is indeed quite remarkable that the Ancient Greeks had such precise time-keeping apparatuses.
Works & Treatments
Hippocrates is best known for his oath, which stipulates that no physician may leave a person to die. This has had devastating consequences on the Earth, for many people, including Hypocrites, have escaped death in such a way. Many places now start to dismiss the oath, like the United States. In fact, the oath has been replaced by a single criteria of admission: money. It is considered a net improvement over the humanistic views and philosophy of Hippocrates. Another exploit Hippocrates is known for is his quite thorough mapping of the human body. During his long life, Hippocrates performed numerous dissections of humans. To do them, he had to employ an elite force of professional killers to lure unsuspecting citizens into death traps. He could then perform experiments. Using this knowledge, he was able to make many groundbreaking observations that have since been discovered to be true. One of them is that the brain of humans serves principally to cool down the body, a thing which has been proven to be true for Christians, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus and Pagans. Atheists are a notable exception to this list, as modern evidence suggests that they use their brains to think, thought being seemingly absent form the minds of religious humans. Effective treatments had still to be made. In accordance to the traditional method of violence and pain, Hippocrates devised numerous devices thought which he could cure diseases and conditions. For example, he used a medieval torture rack to stretch the bones of people who had broke theirs so that their segments would never reconnect again.
Many aspects of our modern societies stem from the legendary physician's works. Many people, such as homeopaths, are now following his path of alternative medicine. It is a fact that homeopaths are not liars and contribute greatly to an healthy society with their medicine made of pure water. Some scholars have proposed that their brains are truly only used for ventilation, as Hippocrates though. He is also the one who gave us one of the modern symbols of doctors. (Two snakes and a staff). Many people have tried to discover how would be humans be now if it had not been for him. They arrived to the conclusion that we would be far more advanced because of the known effectiveness of medieval medicine, which focuses on killing sick people instead of trying to cure them.

WOODBRIDGE, Va. - Marines with Marine Corps Recruiting Command spent the weekend assisting those in need by providing food, clothing and love to people living in tents in the Woodbridge area.
Gunnery Sgt. Tawanda Hanible, the diversity operations chief at MCRC, led the event with her organization Operation Heroes Connect.
"The idea just came to me one day that I wanted to do something for Thanksgiving with my organization," said Hanible. "A friend informed me about Tent City so I did some visits and then I knew this was something I had to do."
Hanible, along with other Marines from MCRC, and Operations Heroes Connect, spent all day Saturday feeding the homeless and supplying them with clothes and blankets. The Marines and civilians cooked food, put together tables and drove around the Woodbridge area feeding the homeless.
"I posted the event on Facebook and was able to get 55 people to sign up," said Hanible. "We also got local support from a few organizations and just made it happen."
The Marines who took part in the event, did what they could to provide service to the less fortunate. Captain Andrew Holmes, the market research analysis officer for MCRC, also took part in the event.
"It just touched my heart," said Holmes. "I drive by these areas every day and had no clue that there are people living in these woods, struggling just to get by."
Holmes and other volunteers traveled into the woods to provide food and drinks to people living in tents.
"I'm sure it taught all of us to be thankful," said Holmes. "It was a great opportunity to give back to the community and I look forward to doing something this meaningful again."
In the end the Marines were all greeted with hugs and tears of joy from those less fortunate.
"One of them began to cry," said Hanible. "It made me feel like I really did make a difference and I was taking part in something bigger than myself."

It started off five months ago as a student protest, calling for radical reform of the education system. But the protests that came to be known as the Chilean winter grew into a mass movement, demanding the restructuring of the government.
And on Tuesday government negotiators finally convinced student leaders to meet the education minister for the first time to discuss their demand for free university education.
"We believe that there are enough resources to provide not only free university in the public sector, but in the private sector as well," said Camila Vallejo, who called for the nation's copper mines to be nationalised.
Vallejo and other student leaders have delivered a detailed proposal to the government including higher taxes for Chile's extremely wealthy individuals and an end to what they call a for-profit education system that has failed.
Students have already won major battles in their effort to better fund Chilean education. On Tuesday the Chilean Congress moved forward with a law to cut interest rates on student loans and earlier this year the government announced a special $4bn (£2.5bn) fund for the 2012 budget, including a 24% rise in student scholarships.
Opposition politicians said the proposal lacks specifics. "This fund with $4bn, how will it be created? How will it be financed?," said former Chilean president Eduardo Frei. "We don't know how they plan to spend this."
Despite a slump in the price of copper, the nation's primary export, the Chilean economy continues to boom. Car sales in August and September were so high that the government ran out of licence plates and authorized the use of cardboard plates for up to six months. GDP growth for 2011 is still estimated to be over 4%.
Buoyed by their nation's sound financial foundation, high school and university students have held out for months, resisting threats and pleas for them to return to classes.
With hundreds of public high schools still occupied by 15- and 16-year-old students and weekly marches drawing up to 120,000 students, the movement has shattered two decades of political consensus in post-Pinochet Chile.
A series of violent attacks at schools and threats of expulsion have hardened positions on both sides in the past week. "I have doubts about whether or not there is a real willingness [on the part of the government] to resolve this conflict," said Vallejo, the student leader who accused President Sebastián Piñera of provoking students by proposing laws that would allow for up to three months' imprisonment of protesting students.
Piñera's approval ratings have dipped to as low as 22% – the lowest recorded in Chile.
