@KO_Bossy, thats what makes me have doubts about Goldberg, it was a simple character that could have worked for anybody who had the slightest bit of charisma and an athletic background. It's easy to make a guy look so superior when mostly booking him in squash matches. But eventually, that ran it's course and when it came time to actually work a match, Goldberg was exposed. Completely different from Hogan, Flair, Sting, Rock, Austin, Lesnar, those guys could actually work and didn't have to rely on a streak angle to get and remain top stars. Without that streak, Goldberg blended in, simply because he lacked other things that are somewhat required to remain a top guy.
The push of Goldberg was a gift and a curse, as it maintained interest in WCW after the NWO fad began to sizzle but a curse in the sense that it hid Goldberg's flaws for so long that when the streak was over, it was a what's next moment. The evidence is there, without the streak, Goldberg was just another guy, largely due to his weaknesses that only a streak of squash matches could cover up. He didn't have enough charisma to completely ignore the fact that he was an injury prone performer, who was in the right place at the right time. Brock was booked perfectly as a monster who could destroy anybody but when given a legit challenge, could perform at a high level.
It also doesn't help matters that the final moments of the streak and afterwards, WCW was a revolving door of bookers, who made a bigger mess of the company. But at the same time, thats what happens when you book a guy so strong and are completely oblivious to the fact that he was a horrible worker and eventually, it would come to light and did. IMO, that takes a few points away from Goldberg. Arguably a star but definately not top 5 WCW, possibly not even top 10, as so many others possessed more strengths than Goldberg, who was basically just over as fuck. If overness means anything, 95% of the Attitude Era would go down as GOATS.
I get the points your making, and there's a lot of validity to them.
However, I don't think that the streak would have worked for just anyone. If you watch TNA, look at Crimson. That guy was booked like a beast and had the winning streak going for like...over a year. His first loss was at Slammiversary in June. And yet he's a horrendous worker (like, worse than Goldberg), no one cared about him, his matches sucked and once the streak was done, he promptly fell off the face of the earth back into the developmental territories. This guy had a solid look about him, but he was missing the IT factor.
Compared to:
Goldberg just LOOKS intimidating. The tattoo on his shoulder, the bald head, badass beard, body hair, he looks like some sort of pseudo ass kicking lumberjack. Real manly man. He had presence and natural charisma, which was great because it largely forfeited the need for him to speak.
Now its true, Goldberg was not very good in the ring. Then again, Hogan never was either, but he made up for that in other areas. Goldberg was able to as well. I'm not gonna get into a pissing contest by comparing them and having people get offended, but the fact of the matter is that both guys were extremely popular and built successful careers for themselves in wrestling based on attributes that didn't include solid in ring work. There are some parallels you can draw between the two.
It just happened that once Goldberg's streak ended that his flaws became more noticeable, which Hogan never really had to endure. Its not like Hulkamania died and people said "oh wow, in all actuality this Hogan guy really blows as a worker." He had Hulkamania, then the nWo, and kept flip flopping between the two all through his career between the Fed and WCW, so his shortcomings were a lot more protected, I find.

R. Buckminster Fuller was born July 12, 1895 in Milton, Massachusetts. In 1912 he became the 5th generation of Fullers to be accepted at Harvard where he was later expelled--not once, but twice. He hung out in the artistic community of Greenwich Village in the 1920's where his unconventional ideas were more readily accepted. In 1929 he built the energy-efficient "Dymaxion House" and later a "Dymaxion Car," a term he invented by combining the words 'dynamic,' 'maximum' and 'ion.'
Bucky was perhaps most famous for his Geodesic Dome design of the late 40s. The term "geodesic" comes from the Latin meaning "earth
dividing." A humanitarian, Fuller was concerned with providing economical, earth-friendly housing. The design was patented in 1954. The most famous example of his geodesic dome is Disney's EPCOT theme park, which remains a symbol of design of the future.
In 1963 he wrote, Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth. Buckminster Fuller died July 1, 1983. A compendium of his works was published that same year as Inventions: the Patented Works of R.Buckminster Fuller.
"Observation of my life to date shows that the larger the number for whom I work, the more positively effective I become. Thus, it is obvious that if I work always and only for all humanity, I will be optimally effective."

Massive wind turbine expected to save environment, add jobs in Gonzales
Turbine part of Taylor Farms plant expansion
GONZALES, Calif. - If you were driving down the 101 Tuesday, you may have seen a massive 140-ft. wind turbine blade being escorted to Gonzales by the California Highway Patrol.
The city of Gonzales said the giant turbine isn't just a big, impressive sight, it also means big benefits for the city's environmental and economic development.
"(Using) this (turbine) is over 80 percent of our carbon footprint will be reduced in future expansion because of one turbine," said City Manager Rene Mendez.
The turbine is part of a Taylor Farms year-long initiative to go green and power the company's 15,000 square foot plant expansion. The city said it will also bring in hundreds of jobs.
Because the turbine will be located in the unincorporated area of the city, Gonzales had to go through the county to get it approved.
"The property belongs to the city and the turbine belongs to the city," Mendez said.
In a 25-year lease, the city is renting out the use of this energy-saving attraction to Taylor Farms and it's not costing the city a single penny.
The city said it views this turbine as a tool to encourage big agriculture businesses to come to town, and it already has plans for another one down the line.
The construction is expected to wrap up next week. The city said the amount of energy the giant turbine supplies is enough to power 700 single homes, or in this case one agricultural plant.

Hello Everyone-
A new web page in Milo's honor is online called In Milo's Memory. Please visit to see photos and videos from his life, as well as updates on the journey to find his successor.
Hello everyone,
Since the last post, Milo took a terrible turn for the worse, and he was honorably discharged this morning. We had found out his epilepsy was caused by elevating toxins that were in his liver, and the doctors couldn't reasonably operate to save him. He knew something was wrong, but he tried his best up until the end.
Thank you all for reading about his life and how he affected all of us for the better. He can finally rest after a job well done.
Goodbye Milo...
I'm back home at last after our road trip to Pennsylvania! We got home last night, but it took all night and all day today to rest up and get back in the swing of things. Now, I can recap our trip:
The first day, we piled into a van and over nine hours later, we arrived at the first hotel. I mostly slept and played with my chuckle during the trip down. The nice people at the hotel gave me a doggie bag with a treat, bags, gloves, and a sign for the front door that says, "Let Sleeping Dogs Lie". Isn't that nice? I had my first experience with room service. It's a lot like the delivery man from home. Unfortunately I forgot my collapsible dog bowl in the room- I guess I'll have to get another one!
The second day, we accompanied a friend to a service dog organization for an interview. We just thought we were going to be waiting outside, but we got to go in too, and got to see a demo dog from their program. He was so smart- he picked up things, opened doors, and even showed off some hearing tasks! I got to show how smart I was and tried my hardest to ignore that dog! We saw the kennels where many more dogs were, including pups from Cedarwood, where I'm from! I might have been looking at great-grand nieces and nephews!
After our visit, we struck out again, but we decided to stop in Connecticut for the night. The second hotel was nice too, and the personnel were super nice! I picked up a nickel and a paper card, and the receptionist was beside herself. She ended up giving me a bag of treats and a frisbee/rope toy! We got to unwind a little in a human lounge, where all the people had beer or wine. None for me, thanks! Everybody was really interested in me though, and what I did for work.
The third day, we packed up and headed back up'ta Maine. We made two stops. First, we went to the Clean Run Warehouse, where their dog supplies were available for sniffing out. I didn't get to actually try anything, because if we did and didn't want it, some other doggie would be expecting something new that I already used! Becky got to feel a cooling bed that doesn't use water or electricity. We didn't get anything then, but we definitely have a better idea of what we want for a special day! We then stopped at this ice cream place in Mass called Herrell's. There were so many flavors to choose from, everyone was nice, and nobody seemed to look twice at me for being in the store!
After what seemed like forever, we did get back home. I got a surprise when I walked in the door- someone took away my OLD feed station and put in a NEW feed station and dishes in it's place! This one is screwed into the wall and stainless steel, a snazzy look for our home! More good news- I find out that I was chosen as a recipient for a donation of 180 pills of the medication I'm currently taking! Somebody didn't need it anymore, and those pills aren't cheap, so it's great that I was mentioned as a donee! Thank you, nice donator person!
You can probably now imagine why it took us so long to regenerate after our trip! I do need to go to my kennel and regenerate for the night, so I'm logging off. More adventures to come!

ICD-10 delay proposed, but that's not all
By now you have likely heard the Office of the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has formally proposed delaying the transition date for ICD-10-CM to Oct. 1, 2014. Good news for the practices that have not started or do not know when they will start preparing for ICD-10 (76 percent, according to today's reading of FPM's Reader Poll; vote and view the latest results in the left column of FPM's home page). You have an added year to get your plans in order and get caught up in preparing for this transition.
But this is not the only portion of this proposed rule that affects your practice. This rule also adds the implementation date for national unique health plan identifiers (HPID). By Oct. 1, 2014, all large health plans (i.e., payers) must apply for an HPID, just as physicians have applied for their national provider identifier (NPI). In addition, claims administrators, clearinghouses, and other entities involved in the claims process wil have the opportunity to adopt a national Other Entity Identifier (OEID). While this is good news in that it should eliminate some of the issues that occur with claims transmissions not routing to the correct claims administrators or payers, it will come with some costs to your practice.
By Oct. 1, 2014, your billing system must be equipped to include these numbers on your claims. Small health plans have until Oct. 1, 2015, to comply, which complicates matters because you may need to send the HPID on most but not all claims. If your software vendor or clearinghouse didn't fare well in the transition to the HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) 5010 electronic transactions standards, now would be a good time to discuss with them when they will start planning and working to achieve compliance with the HPID. The timeline provided in the proposed rule indicates that your systems should be ready to send test transmissions of claims with the HPID by April 1, 2013.
If you have comments on any of these proposals, the rule includes a comment period of 30 days from the date of publication in the Federal Register. Comments should include file code CMS-0040-P and may be submitted electronically on http://www.regulations.gov or in writing to Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Department of Health and Human Services, Attention: CMS-0040-P, P.O. Box 8013, Baltimore, MD 21244-8013.
While you'll have an extra year to get ready for ICD-10, there is another sizable task on the to-do list – to prepare your claims systems to submit the HPIDs. I guess it is true that what one hand giveth, the other taketh away.

ICD-10: The gift of time
In February, I posted that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) had signaled its intent to delay implementation of International Classification of Diseases, 10th Edition (ICD-10), which was scheduled to happen on Oct. 1, 2013. Now HHS made it almost official.
HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced a proposed rule that would delay the compliance date for ICD-10 from Oct. 1, 2013 to Oct. 1, 2014. The proposed rule is subject to a 30-day comment period before HHS finalizes it and makes the proposed delay completely official.
As Cindy Hughes has noted in her most recent article in Family Practice Management, "While the delay may give you more time to prepare, it most certainly does not mean that you can postpone this work; it just means that if you start now, you might actually be ready by the new deadline." Cindy's article provides some great information in this regard, and you can find more information and resources on the American Academy of Family Physicians website.
So, HHS has provided the gift of another 365 days to prepare for implementation of ICD-10. Physicians and others would do wisely to use this gift to their advantage in getting ready. It seems unlikely that HHS will be this generous again in advance of the new deadline.

Comprehensive Primary Care Initiative: Coming soon to a market near you?
The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) has identified the markets where it will test its Comprehensive Primary Care Initiative (CPCI), according to information posted yesterday on the CMMI website. CPCI, which was announced last fall, will test a payment model that offers physicians a monthly care management fee for each Medicare fee-for-service patient in their care as well as a share of any savings that the initiative generates. The following markets were chosen based on applications from payers:
- Arkansas,
- Colorado,
- New Jersey,
- New York (Capital District/Hudson Valley Region),
- Ohio (Cincinnati/Dayton region),
- Oklahoma (Greater Tulsa region),
- Oregon.
Approximately 75 practices in each market will be chosen to participate. CMMI will solicit applications from practices as soon as final agreements are signed with the participating payers, which include private health plans, state Medicaid agencies, and employers, as well as Medicare.
CPCI is a four-year initiative with a planned launch date this summer. If it is shown to improve quality of care and lower costs, CMMI has the authority to roll out the initiative nationwide. Read more about the initiative in Family Practice Management.

The Zmbabwe Association of Doctors for Human Rights has released a report which expresses their concern over escalating cases of organized violence and torture and the increasing intimidation of medical personnel. They have documented over 900 victims of violence in the post election period. But, they believe their figures grossly underestimate what is happening because in rural areas most cases are not being reported. The doctors are worried that many victims in rural areas fail to receive good medical treatment due to lack of facilities. Most victims have identified the perpetrators as "war veterans," armed security forces, and ZANU-PF youth militia. Only a handful of violent acts have been committed by members of the opposition Movement for Democratic Change.
Dr.Douglas Gwatidzo, chair of the Doctors Association, said the escalation of violence has risen from about 5 per day last week to about 20-30 this week. Ambasadors from the United States, Germany, the European Unon, Germany, Sweden and Angola visited hospitals to obtain first hand information from victims. An elderly lady told them: "How can an 84 year-old be assaulted simply because her children are MDC?"
Morgan Tsvangirai, head of MDC announced he had informed President Mbeki of South Africa that his services as a mediator were not longer desired. Mbeki has blatantly supported President Mugabe.

Yes, you heard me correctly. The marriage of double chocolate brownies and ooey, gooey chocolate chip cookies will go down in history as one of the greatest matches ever made. This pair may not garner its own china or commemorative coins (ahem…William and Kate), but should be crowned royally all the same.
I first heard of this mash-up a few years ago from Bakerella. In her version Betty Crocker box mixes are employed, which is easy and quick and I won't chastise you if you do it. But since it's 2011, we need to step it up people. It's time to take these brookies (or cownies, if you prefer) to the next level.
I started with a batch of my favorite double chocolate brownies, which are the most decadent, chocolately brownies that I've ever come across.
Then I dotted some of my favorite gooey chocolate chip cookies on top.
If I were cookie dough (which I probably am by now—at least 25%), I would love to swim in a sea of double chocolate brownie batter. Wouldn't you?
Pop that lovely pan in the oven, and you've created an instant classic.
Lightly crusty on top, but oh-so-gooey in the center.
The hardest part is waiting for them to cool. My dear toddler was so patient that she was rewarded with a handsome slice and a chaser of milk.
If you're short on time (or lazy, which I am—at least 25%) you could make the brownie batter and use those break-apart Tollhouse numbers on top. I won't tell. But please, I beg of you: don't skip the double chocolate brownie recipe. You'll thank me later.
And your belly will thank you for these. Your new years resolutions, however, may not be so grateful.
Double Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownies
Nearly any brownie or cookie recipe will do—I use two of my favorites. A little gooeyness in the middle is okay, and much preferred to over-baking. Yields one 9″x13″ pan, or 24 cookie brownies.
- One batch double chocolate brownie batter (see below)
- One batch chocolate chip cookie dough (see below)
Preheat oven to 325F. Grease a 9″x13″ pan and pour in the brownie batter. Dot with 2 tbsp amounts of cookie dough. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Let cool at least 4 hours before slicing.
Double Chocolate Brownies
This recipe is adapted from one printed on a scrap of an old chocolate chip bag in Mom's kitchen. Possibly 1980?s Nestle? At any rate, neither Mom or I can take the credit for these delicious brownies. Makes one large batch (24 or more brownies) in a 9×13? pan–see notes below on making a half batch. The temptation is always to cut them too soon, but if you do, they'll completely fall apart and you'll be left with a big brownie mess. Give it patience. The chocolate chips need a chance to solidify again.
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2/3 cup butter
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 4 tbsp water
- 2 12 oz packages semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips (I use Ghiradelli 60% Cacao)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Preheat oven to 325F. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl and mix to combine.
In a large saucepan melt the butter with the sugar and water. Bring just to a boil and remove from heat. Stir in one package of the chocolate chips and the vanilla extract. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Slowly blend in the flour mixture, and then add the remaining package of chocolate chips and the chopped nuts. Pour into a greased 9″x13″ pan ***stop at this point if you are making the cookie brownies*** and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Be careful not to over-bake, and make sure that your toothpick is coated with uncooked batter and not melted chocolate chips if you're going to continue baking longer. Let cool at least 2 hours before serving.
Note: To make a half-batch, halve all amounts, use a greased 9×9? square pan and bake for 30-35 minutes.
Best Big Fat Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies from AllRecipes
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 325F. Sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
Cream together the melted butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Beat in the vanilla, egg and egg yolk until light and creamy. Mix in the sifted ingredients until just blended. Stir in the chocolate chips with a wooden spoon. ***Stop at this point if you're making the cookie brownies.***
Drop cookie dough 1/4 cup at a time onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper or Silpat, allowing at least 3″ between cookies. Bake for 15-17 minutes or until edges are lightly toasted. Let cool a few minutes on baking sheets before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Kings to unleash a new attack in strategy overhaul
Page Tools
The Sydney Kings are set to show off the benefits of a much-needed 12-day lay-off when they unveil a new offence against the Hunter Pirates tonight.
The two-time defending NBL champions haven't been on court since upsetting the Wollongong Hawks 86-76 on December 4, with the break a welcome relief for coach Brian Goorjian.
Goorjian has sharpened the Kings' offence, turning the team from one which used to run and gun to one which plays a more deliberate half-court game.
"We'll be a totally different team," Goorjian said. "Whereas we liked to run, we'll be playing more in the half-court. We've worked on half-court sets and also put some things in place for when C.J. [Bruton] comes back."
The change in structure speaks volumes of the first impression new import Rolan Roberts left on Goorjian in his 18 minutes against the Hawks.
A half-court game will enable the Kings to take advantage of Roberts's ability to score around the basket, offsetting the loss of speed merchants Bruton and Luke Kendall to injury.
Roberts came off the bench against the Hawks, scoring eight points and pulling down four rebounds. Goorjian said Roberts would start on the bench again, but a move to the starting five doesn't appear to be too far away.
The Kings take on a Pirates team desperate for a win after two tough losses on the road in the last round saw them slip to seventh on the ladder.
Last-season's wooden spooners have surprised many with their performances this year, but not Goorjian. "They're playing well because they're a talented roster," he said.
"Their two imports, Kavossy Franklin and Brian Wethers are a tough combination."
The Pirates hope Wethers continues his impressive play, with the American leading the league with 24.6 points a game. Defensive stopper Jason Smith will, no doubt, be assigned to keep Wethers quiet, but the Pirates are more than a one-man show.
Big men Russell Hinder, Geordie Cullen and Ben Melmeth, a former Kings player, have used their height and bulk to good effect so far this season, with the trio averaging a combined 35.5 points and 23.6 rebounds a game. In the NBA, Rashard Lewis notched a season-high 37 points, including seven three-point bombs, as the Seattle SuperSonics swept aside the Los Angeles Lakers 108-93. Kobe Bryant notched 35 points in a losing effort while Ray Allen, who has had a public feud with the Lakers All-Star, contributed 26 for the Sonics for their 18th win of the season.
Seattle (18-4) took control in the second quarter, going on a 17-5 run to open up a 51-33 lead, and never let the Lakers get closer than eight points.
Jamaal Tinsley took little time to hit top gear in his comeback match from an ankle injury, posting a season-high 29 points.
His haul included five in overtime, to help the undermanned Pacers snap a seven-game losing streak to defeat the woeful Hawks 108-97.

Tuition Petition
There must be a better way.
That seems to be the reaction of many students and professors at u-f in the wake of tuition changes proposed by governor scott's blue ribbon task force on higher education.
Opponents on campus are looking for ways to express their opposition.
University of Florida student, Barbara Uchdorf says, "its just so unbelievable."
Many college students and teachers are upset after the blue ribbon task force released recommendations for higher education reform.
One of them suggests charging students higher tuition rates if they have a 'non-strategic major' like humanities.
Uf student Barbara Uchdorf, majoring in political science and history-- is a little confused saying, "there's no reasoning, there's no logical reasoning that anyone would make to lead you to this conclusion that some majors are worth more than other majors."
And some university of florida professors agree.
Around 1,300 people have already signed a petition against this one recommendation.
Paul Ortiz believes it restricts students freedom to choose their career path.
He said, "the attempt to kind of pigeonhole students into fields because you think that, this is a critical needs area- well that may be this year but what about next year."
The majors considered strategic are ones which focus on high-skill, high-wage and high-demand which is to be determined by the market.
During a board of governors meeting, the task force chairman Dale Brill said this: "to talk about any of the recommendations that i am about to discuss in isolation does the complexity of the issue a disservice."
But as governor rick scott reviews these recommendations, professors and students both worry tuition rates might go up for some students in the future.
Barbara uchdorf said, "i just think it is assuming way to many things, and i think its unfortunate that the liberal arts are being- are not being valued when that's the foundation of what the university system should be."
A vision of higher education that may not be shared by state leaders.
There are two other recommendations from the task force.
Both propose to direct more funding to schools that achieve the greatest academic success-- although its not clear how that would be determined.
The governor has the final say on all the recommendations.

Content descriptions
| "From celebrated dietitian Ashley Koff and fitness trainer to the stars Kathy Kaehler comes Mom Energy, an exciting new way for moms to tap into their own natural and renewable sources of energy to overcome fatigue and achieve their personal health goals. Koff and Kaehler have put together a safe, sensible, flexible, and, most importantly, effective program for moms of any age--whether their kids are in diapers or heading off to college.While being a mom is undeniably rewarding, it's also one of the most physically demanding and stressful activities in modern society. In fact, one of the most common complaints from mothers is that they simply don't have the energy to do everything they want, which means they end up sacrificing one thing (usually their own health) to accomplish another. But these sacrifices aren't necessary if you follow some simple guidelines and avoid secret energy saboteurs. With discussions that cover everything from nutrition to fitness to time management, Koff and Kaehler lay out a three-part program (reorganize, rehab, and recharge) that can be molded to any lifestyle to help moms naturally up their energy levels. And with this enhanced energy, they will get all sorts of other unexpected benefits, including a stronger immune system, easier weight loss, and even better relationships. Mom Energy will teach readers what will help and what will hurt in their quest for optimum energy. "-- Provided by publisher.

I got an iPod for Christmas from my kids and I finally have all my music loaded on it and all of that good stuff. Now, do you have any tips I can use for keeping my playlists organized? I would like to create different lists for different activities I do, but I don't want them to get all messy. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
First of all, welcome to the wonderful world of iPods! I'm sure you're enjoying it as much as everyone else who has one does. This is a very good question, because in a day and age when music players are so popular, it's typical to have a huge collection of music on just one device and it's easy to just let it "go crazy" and get all jumbled together. This tip is good for anyone who has any type of music player. It doesn't have to be just an iPod. If you have an MP3 player or if you just have a lot of music stored on your computer, you can use these organizational tips as well.
Below are six tips you can use to keep your playlists organized and neat. The tips will also help you in understanding what you need to do to follow up to proper playlists. If you follow these tricks, you will have the best music collection in town! Plus, you will be able to find particular songs much faster and sometimes, you just can't beat that. Okay, here we go!
1.) Create Subfolders – One of the most important things to do when making playlists is to create subfolders that will stay on your hard drive. What do I mean by subfolders? Well, you should put all of your music into different categories. You can either separate it by genre or whichever way you'd like to do it. Create a new folder for each type. For instance, one folder for country, one for pop, one for classical and so on. Don't just keep all of your music in the main music folder (My Music) on your C: drive. Subfolders are definitely the better way to go.
2.) Check Your ID3 Tags – First of all, ID3 tags are used to store the important information about your music files, such as the song title, the artist name, the album name, etc. It's also the information that shows up on the screen of your iPod or MP3 player. (Read here for more information on ID3 tags). Sometimes when you put music onto your player, it comes through all wrong. So, make sure you take the time to edit your ID3 tags correctly. Now, you may need a software program to help you do this and one good example is called TagScanner.
3.) Have Proper Music Management Software – It's pertinent that you have the best music management software for yourself and for your music player. There are several you can choose from too. If you have an iPod, you probably use iTunes, but some other options are Windows Media Player, MediaMonkey and MusicMatch Jukebox. Each program brings its own features, so you'll just have to decide what all you want and then go get it!
4.) Keep It Legal – If you're using an illegal music download program, you may get some files that come through in an odd way. They may have a weird file name and the songs may also sound a little different than the original version. You don't want that, do you? Yes, you may have to pay for a good online music service, but it's well worth it in the end. Good examples are again, iTunes and there's always Napster.
5.) Create Proper Playlists – As was stated in the question, it's fun to make different playlists for the different activities you're going to be doing. This is also a perfect way to keep your music organized. If you combine certain songs together, you'll come up with some pretty jammin' playlists, along with keeping them neat and tidy. Another thing you can do is just create playlists from the subfolders you created in step one. Keeping all of your music in separate categories is the perfect way to stay organized when it comes to your tunes.
6.) Your Hard Drive Size – Depending on how much music you download onto your computer, it's important to have a hard drive that will be able to fit it all in. Running out of room will certainly mess up your organized music files. Yes, you may have more than one hard drive on your computer, but it's not ideal to store some of your files on one hard drive and the rest on the other. It's important to have all of your music files together in one spot, so just make sure you have enough room. If you think you're going to run out soon, delete some songs you don't listen to very often or just stop downloading!
There you go. Hopefully these tips will help keep your music collection in line and in order. Yes, if you follow all of these steps, it will take you quite a bit of time to complete your organized music collection, but trust me, it will be worth it in the end. Now, get going!

Just so you know...
Colt called them 'Scales' when on the Automatics, otherwise, on Revolvers, they are called 'Stocks'.
The 'Grip' is that part of the Frame upon which the Scales or Stocks are mounted.
Indeed, there were different Scales for different periods of the .380, and, I do not have my Books handy just now to co-relate which ones would be right for your Serial Number range.
Yours would be about 1921 I believe.
Or, as per -
But, 'Gunbroker' or e-bay are both good places to look.
Trouble is, a lot of other people are looking also, so, decent period Scales for these Pistols tend to get expensive.
Gunshows of course are another source, where, with patience and luck and or a good Bank, one can prevail also.
You might try putting a 'Wanted' Post in the want to buy section of the forum here, in case some of the members may have an extra set.

Epilepsy Week at Camp Carefree
By: Noor Siddiqui
In 1986, a woman known as Anne Jones purchased land in Stokesdale, North Carolina to help build her home. She noticed once she settled down, that there was still a huge area of extra land in her property. Jones was inspired to use this land to build a camp for children with specific health problems. This was the birth of Camp Carefree which has been operating for the past 20 years.
For children, going to the camp gives them a new unique experience. Numerous fun-filled activities, such as African drums, archery, rock climbing, and games, are planned for them. The atmosphere in the camp is friendly and positive. The counselors and children interact and get to learn more about each other. "Staying at the Camp for years has really matured me as a person, says Josh Eans, a counselor at Camp Carefree.
|Playing Foosball
Kids get a chance to learn about each other's conditions while having fun and meeting others with the same condition is often a first for many of the children. Seeing others with seizures helps them realize they are not alone in the world.
"These kids, you can see the enjoyment on their faces, knowing that for one week they are normal and there is nothing that they can't do", says Josh Eans. . .
|Ann Jones, founder and contributor of Camp Carefree
|Camp games
Tony McCallum,
When you visit the camp, you can tell that everyone is having a great time. The atmosphere is friendly and fun. You can see this by the giggles erupting from the children, the wise-knowing smiles of the counselors, and by the expression on everyone's face that says, "I'm having the best time of my life". Visiting Camp Carefree has been an interesting and insightful experience. Not only does the camp help kids with their conditions, it gives them the ability and belief that what they previously could not do is possible, soon a belief grows that "anything is possible". Camp Carefree helps every child feel special with a sense of belonging. .

will david vincent be signing after the Q & A or another time?
i really wanna get my poster signed

Question (although, I think the answer is probably 'no'! XD ) : As the event starts at 11am, and with the Baka No Gameshow being early on in the day, I have to meet up with my friends who are arriving by coach; they won't be arriving til 11:30, so we won't get to the convention til around 12:15. However, I reallllyy want to do the Baka No Gameshow! Is there anyway I could sign up early on here for it, in case the list for that event isn't open when I arrive (which looking at the time it wouldn't, as the event is at 1pm, so I'd be going straight to the stage-meeting area on arrival)? Pleeaassee? *tries to do puppy eyes, fails miserably and ends up looking plain weird*
So much to do, so little time!
@mewmewtoyou I am sure if you showed stage a text or something from them they would be fine. Also you are very welcome.
Thanks for the advice! Hopefully whoever's in charge of the events will see this or put a word in for me - really want to get involved and do the Baka No Gameshow! Sounds like so much fun!

Ahh, found a group of people who are doing the Baka No Gameshow and are going to sign me up as part of their group (I FEEL SO LOVED!); are we right that the groups are groups of 5?
I certainly hope so; if it's actually six or more people, I'm going to drag innocent bystanders onstage to be with us XD

No I bought the right exhaust for our cars Corsa. There's a few threads floating with pictures I believe but any exhaust shop with a brain should be able to mount the Gibson. Also awd and rwd makes zero difference past the rear axle which is where both Gibson and Corsa mount as they are axle back not catback. Borla was the only catback and its discontinued.

I recently had a pair of Thrush turbo mufflers. I noticed a gurgling sound between 1k and 2k RPM at acceleration. The performance is not affected by the noise but the noise is just annoying. Has anyone seen or heard of this issue after installing exhaust?
It's called drone. You get what you pay for.
Re: exhaust sound
i get drone under certain rpm but cruising around 70ish it goes away. my exhaust is a bit loud since i have gutted cats deleted res with x pipe in its place and moroso spirflo mufflers. but its a good loud haha

Nutrition Support Blog: Wet sidewalks cause it to rain
If I were to stand at a podium during a national or international nutrition conference and state that based on the results of a large observational study1, changing your diet to eat less whole grain foods would result in adults becoming less educated, earn less money each year, and start smoking, it is very likely I would be laughed off the stage. Nevertheless, I have sat at national and international conferences while someone stood at the podium and based on observational studies, stated that critically ill patients who do not receive a certain amount of enteral nutrition (EN) within several days are more likely to die, thus we should add parenteral nutrition (PN) early in their admission. To my amazement, the audience, instead of breaking into uproarious laughter, took notes.
There is general agreement among learned experts (a rare thing in itself) that observational studies should never be used to imply cause and effect. Observational studies only document associations – things that occur together – and there is no way to establish causality from an observational study regardless of what factors are controlled for, such as severity of illness, age, etc. We have learned that it is impossible to statistically control for (or even know) all the factors that influence outcomes, and that it is necessary to do randomized studies to begin to understand causality. In the case of the amount of EN received by critically ill patients, we know that injury severity or APACHE scores do not consider GI dysfunction, and we also know that GI dysfunction has been independently associated with compromised ICU outcomes.2 Inadequate EN provision in the ICU may simply be an indirect marker for GI dysfunction, rather than the lack of nutrition directly influencing outcome. There is a myriad of reasons why patients that will have a poor outcome receive less EN, and we know it is impossible to identify, or statistically account, for all of these factors.
Medical professionals have no difficulty accepting the limitations of observational studies when it is intuitively improbable that one factor could cause another – such as whole grain intake and smoking. Unfortunately, when observational data agrees with our preconceived notions, the mental transmission seems to slip gears and there appears to be a tendency to accept that associations can be cause and effect. Unfortunately we have learned the hard way that making treatment decisions based on observational studies can actually harm patients. Observational studies suggested that women who took hormone replacement therapy had significantly less cardiovascular disease, but randomized studies demonstrated that hormone replacement therapy actually increased cardiovascular disease risk. Adults with increased serum levels of β-carotene had decreased incidence of lung cancer, but large randomized studies of β-carotene supplementation demonstrated a significant increase in cancer incidence compared to placebo. Now we have data that adding early supplemental PN to critically ill patients that are not achieving EN goals resulted in significantly increased infections, time in the ICU, and hospital costs, without any apparent outcome advantage3; demonstrating once again the problems of basing treatment on observational data.
Of course, it is likely that a large cumulative nutrition deficit will eventually have a negative impact on the patient. However, it will take further randomized studies before we understand at what point the benefits of supplemental parenteral nutrition might outweigh the risks.

Finally back in an e30
2 Attachment(s)
Just bought a 1988 325 convertible!
114,00 on the dash (which looks brand new) only one small dent on the trunk, virtually no rust, brand new soft top, and a red paint job that still shines. After purchase I drove it 1.5 hours from cape may to Philly without a single hiccup. And to think I only paid $1500!
Needs a D/S door adjustment (door closes but the door latch is faulty), a D/S rear turn signal and some minor cosmetic work. Car fax report was clean..only one accident (trunk dent) I have one pic and will post more later.
I plan on taking it to VAC motorsports to get a full inspection to ensure there are no hidden or potential issues. I also plan on swapping out the auto later this summer for a 5spd. Any suggestions on what else needs to be done right away? It's been awhile and I'm no mechanic. Thx!
if the timeing belt has not been serviced then do it now, and change the water pump.
when i picked up mine, i serviced the transmission, changed the oil in the rear end, did the timing belt, water pump, thermostate and flushed the system. great car. i drive mine from florida to massachusettes every year without a worry.

Q: I have diabetes, and after experiencing some unexplained weight loss, I was diagnosed with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. Should I be worried about malnutrition? I've started taking medication, but is there anything else I can do to address this condition, along with my diabetes?
A: Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) in people with diabetes is common, but not all of those affected report typical symptoms like diarrhea, floating stools, and weight loss. An EPI diagnosis is made by measuring the amount of fat in the stool. Studies show EPI prevalence rates of about 50 percent in people with type 1 diabetes and 33 percent in people with type 2 diabetes. Careful examination by a doctor, taking pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT), and nutritional therapy with a registered dietitian are all foundations of treatment for people who have EPI.
Since the doses for diabetes medications, both pills and insulin, are based on adequate absorption of food in the diet, people with EPI must take their digestive enzyme replacements as prescribed to ensure safe blood glucose management. Although treating EPI may help improve glucose metabolism, it's not seen in all studies. A person's enzyme dose is the amount that, when taken daily with meals, results in no fat in the stools. The actual dosage amount varies from person to person, but the correct dose for you will help to ensure the best blood glucose control and nutritional health.
One study also showed that people with EPI who took fat-soluble vitamin supplements, such as A, D, E, or K, were more likely to have normal levels of these vitamins than people with EPI who didn't take supplements. Treatment with PERTs and fat-soluble vitamins can help improve symptoms and reduce the risk for osteoporosis caused by low levels of vitamin D. In addition to EPI therapies, eating a diabetes-friendly diet to keep your blood sugar stable and your A1C level within a healthy target range can help reduce long-term complications from diabetes, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney disease, and stroke.

The Women's March on Versailles was a women riot that took place during the first stages of the French Revolution. It was spontaneously organized by women in the marketplaces of Paris, on the morning of October 5, 1789. They complained over the high price and scant availability of bread, marching from Paris to Versailles. Their demonstrations quickly became intertwined with the purposes of revolutionaries who were seeking liberal political reforms and a constitution for France. The Women's March on Versailles was triggered by the high price of bread, food scarcity, and by rumors that the tricolor cockade of the revolution had been trampled on and derided by the royalist troops and Louis XVI, on October 1 during a special reception for the King's guards.
On October 5, 1789 crowds of women began to assemble at Parisian markets. The women first marched to the Hôtel de Ville (type of city council), demanding that city officials address their concerns. The crowd walked the distance from Paris to Versailles in about six hours. Among their makeshift weaponry they dragged along several cannon taken from the Hôtel de Ville. Boisterous and energetic, they recruited (or impressed into service) more and more followers as they surged out of Paris in the autumn rain. In their ambiguous but always aggressive poissard slang,d they chattered enthusiastically about bringing the King back home. Less affectionately, they spoke of the Queen, Marie Antoinette, whose appellations fell to the level of "bitch" and "whore"; many had no restraint in calling for her death.
The women were responding to the harsh economic situations they faced, especially bread shortages. They also demanded an end to royal efforts to block the National Assembly, and for the King and his administration to move to Paris as a sign of good faith in addressing the widespread poverty. Getting unsatisfactory responses from city officials, as many as 7,000 women joined the march to Versailles, bringing with them cannons and a variety of smaller weapons. Twenty thousand National Guardsmen under the command of La Fayette responded to keep order, and members of the mob stormed the palace, killing several guards. La Fayette ultimately convinced the king to accede to the demand of the crowd that the monarchy relocate to Paris. On October 6, 1789, the King and the royal family moved from Versailles to Paris under the "protection" of the National Guards, thus legitimizing the National Assembly.

Well in my house at night (except the weekends, we have grand children) it's just me and my loving wife. If I hear noises (most likely the alarm going off since I have it and use it) I bolt to the keypad with my LDA1445 to see if the info will tell me what the heck is going on, and then I decide to either 1. turn the alarm off and reset it since bell south is screwing with the phone lines again, or 2. have my wife go into the bathroom and "hunker down" with her gun while I check things out. But here in TN if someone breaks into your home according to the law they are there to do you harm and you have every right to protect yourself.
On a side not I know that if this ever happens there will be a few thing happen that I will have no (or little) control over, 1. my 150 gal salt water fish tank but the front entry door will probally become a very wet mess in the living room, 2. the computer in the office (still in the line of fire but through 2 layers of sheetrock) will probally be a lost cause, and 3. my wife will finally get her wish, for me to finish paying the hardwood in the living room.
It's interesting that this comes up now, I did have an instance to where the alarm goes off in the middle of the night (I'm a heavy sleeper and when I say heavy I mean heavy) without thinking I was up with my firearm in my hand, safety off and was beside the keypad in the master bedroom before I really knew what was happening. as I said before, bellsouth (guess now it's AT&junk) was screwing with the phone lines and set off my alarm. REset the alarm and went back to bed. Felt proud that even in my "sleep" mode I knew what had to be done and was ready for it.
Now if someone actually is stupid enough to break into my home (I own an alarm company and have alarm system, cell backup, and video recording with night vision (and most of the people around here know it)) I feel sorry for their family because I WILL protect mine.

Michigan State-Iowa Postgame Quotes
March 15, 2013
Michigan State
COACH McCAFFERY: I've been doing this a long time. I've coached in a lot of games. I've coached in a lot of tournaments. I've coached favorites; I've coached underdogs. This team deserved a better fate tonight.
Q. Devyn, just talk about the last possession, last shot.
DEVYN MARBLE: We were trying to get Josh [Oglesby] the ball. He kind of got stuck in the corner, so thought dribble handed off to him, probably would have faded out of bounds. It was a position I didn't want to put him in. So I just turned and knew I had to get the shot over Keith [Appling], he's like 6 0, 6 1. It looked good, and sometimes they fall and sometimes they don't.
Q. Just asked the Michigan State players; how physical was that game compared to the Big Ten and other games you've played in your career?
ERIC MAY: Yeah, Michigan State is always a physical game. We knew that coming in. The key is to match their physicality, and I think we did a good job of that. They are a tough team, but you have to really sustain that the whole game, though.
DEVYN MARBLE: I played this team freshman year in the Big Ten Tournament. That was the most physical game I'd ever been in until today with the same team. So usually when we play each other, it's a very physical game.
Q. Seemed like Michigan State kept coming up with dagger after dagger, big plays, turnovers, and you came back and responded late in the half. What was going on in the second half and what was your mind set like as they kept seemed to get a nail in the coffin type play over and over?
DEVYN MARBLE: We just tried to keep our poise. We knew they were going to make a run, they are a really good team. The goal for us is to try to limit the runs and cut it to like 8 0 runs and like that, you don't want it to go 12 2 and 14 0, stuff like that, so just try to limit their runs.
Plus, we had the lead so all we had to do was keep our poise and try to make plays down the stretch, also. But they knocked down the shots and we didn't.
ERIC MAY: I mean, kind of like Coach said, they made some big shots, and we had some shots that looked like they were good, but the key is to just stay calm. I don't think we ever -- there's maybe a minute or two we got a little riled up but we held our composure and had a chance there.
Q. Obviously you don't know your fate until Sunday in terms of the tournament, but you were so close to getting this one, one shot short.
ERIC MAY: I think we deserve to be in the NCAA Tournament. I'm really proud of my team. We are a really good team and we have fought all season long. Whenever we are playing, we are going to play our tails off next week, wherever we are playing.
Q. Not sure how much you do want to talk about this, but the play where Harris got a foul call, was able to go to the line for a free throw, is that what you're talking about with deserving a better fate?
COACH McCAFFERY: Yeah, that's part of it.
Q. I'll take that onus off you about the referee; I saw what you saw, as well. Is there another reason that stuck out in your mind why this happened tonight beside that?
COACH McCAFFERY: We turned the ball over too much. We had 19 turnovers. We felt like coming in, we needed to turn it over less than we did the last time we played them; we turned it over 18, and turned it over 19 and we needed to limit their offensive rebounding and they got 16.
So the two areas didn't happen like we had hoped. But, I thought our defense overall was really good. And I thought we were able to run. Thought our execution was pretty good. In the second half, we had a little more difficulty running our stuff, a little harder. But overall, you know, proud of how we kept fighting.
Q. You led for most of the game, did you sense maybe your team's youth caught up with them down the stretch?
COACH McCAFFERY: No. Had nothing to do with it. Absolutely nothing to do with it. Nothing at all to do with it.
Q. Seemed like some of their shots were short, do you think there was any fatigue today having to play back to back days, or no?
COACH McCAFFERY: I don't think it was that, no. I think there were other factors involved.
Q. When Appling, hit the 3 to give them the lead late going into that time out, what did you say to the team in that timeout right after they took that lead?
COACH McCAFFERY: You know, I just challenged them. You know they are going to make some big shots. They are good players. They have a really good team. We were still right there. It was not time to panic. There was plenty of time left. Just don't panic. We have got to get a shot, get a stop, okay.
You turn the ball over against this team and it's usually two points. So it's get a shot, get a stop, is really all we were trying to do.
Q. Might be off my number, are there 48 teams better than Iowa?
COACH McCAFFERY: No, not at all. I think when you analyze it, you look at all of the factors involved. Starting with the quality of our league, which is phenomenal, top to bottom. You're seeing that this week. You've seen it all year long. You've seen it with the number of rankings we have and the way we have played against all the best teams, how we have fought when we've lost, how we've fought when we've won, how we've continued to improve. I think it's clear with what we have done that we should be in the NCAA Tournament.
I respect the job that the committee has. I know it's difficult. I know there are a lot of other folks that feel the same way. But I think, you know, when you look at all the numbers, I think they bear out that we should be in. I think if you want to lock into any one particular number, you look at all of them. I think if you do that, you'll see where we stack up.
Q. After a game like this, what do you say to your team? Tom Izzo sat up there where you are sitting and said Iowa deserved to win the game; we stole the game. What's your message to your ballclub after a game like this?
COACH McCAFFERY: That would be hard to say right now.
